Need some money to help
toward higher education costs?
One way to obtain it is by
applying for a P.H.E.A.A.
scholarship. If your combined
parents income is less than
$15,000 and your parents help
pay most of your college costs,
you might be entitled to
$750.00 to help pay tuition
costs. As Miss Jennings stated,
“The applicant must only be
able to demonstrate a need.”
“There are some obstacles,
however, that must be overcome
before you can start counting
the money. One is that the
applicant must have a
cumulative average of 2.0.
Another is that the application
form is only available in the
Spring term between the months
of March and late May.
If you drive a car there are
other requirements that must be
met in order to receive the
scholarship. The P.H.E.A.A.
only grants scholarships to
people who have use of cars if:
they are student teaching;
employed off campus; living off
campus; disabled or have a
certain hardship case wiiich must
be approved on an individual
basis by the institution.

Application materials for
University Scholarships may be
picked up in Room E-106.
These scholarships are for the
1972-73 Academic Year, and are
awarded to students who:
1. Give evidence of superior

with a cumulative average of
THIS WEEK IN THE SGA
The effectiveness of Teacher
Evaluations was among the
topics of the winter term’s
opening session of the Student
Government last Monday night.
Members of the S.G.A. agreed
that there are obvious
disadvantages to a standardized
and computerized form. But if
used properly the benefits to
such forms could be numerous.
Senator Denny Hassler
offered some suggestions for
improving the system, including
the necessity of having to record
the professor’s social security
number to identify the
instructor. He felt that the
greatest amount of error was due
to the failure of the instructors
to follow proper instructions of
sending the completed forms to
the S.G.A. office. A full report
on the problems and possible
solutions will be made next
week.
The most important issue of
the evening involved the removal
One point: Here on Capitol
Campus, coming from Meade
Heights to school used to be
considered commuting, but due
to the fact that the privilege was
abused, it no longer is.
By now many of you reading
this article probably think the
scholarship is impossible to
obtain. The fact is the good
news is yet to come. First, the
eligibility of a junior getting the
scholarship is higher than that of
a freshman because the junior
has demonstrated a good
academic standing, whereas the
freshman ha* not. Secondly, if
you are a veteran the chances of
receiving the scholarship are
better than that of the average
student. Miss Jennings wanted to
advise all veterans that she has a
meeting scheduled for this
Thursday with the P.H.E.A.A.
people, any veteran who has
applied should see her after
Thursday to see just where they
stand.
Overall, the time it takes
(approximately forty-five
minutes) is worth the reward
($750.00) if you have the
initiative to go into the Financial
Aid Office and ask Miss Jennings
for the forms that must be filled
out.

of five Senators from office due
to their failure to maintain the
required cumulative standing of
2.33 or better.
Some objections were made
concerning the necessity of a
2.33 requirement rather than the
standard 2.0. President Terry
Wimmer argued that the fact was
that such an average was
approved by the Senate and
Student Body and must be
followed. Moreover, the
constitution does not stipulate
that there can be a probationary
period for failure to hold the
average. He felt that since the
removed Senators could again run
when they met the average, little
could be gained from a
probationary period.
The names of proposed
nominees to fill the new
vacancies must now be
submitted to the S.G.A.
President for approval. Signs will
be posted for those who are
interested in the positions.

CAPITOL CAMPUS - MIDDLETOWN, PA
From the
"Coffee House”
THE NEW BIRTH
Is it the Christian Savior? The
New Year? No, it is our very
own Coffee House. The New
Birth was the winning entry
submitted by student Evon
Golphin in the “Name the
Coffee House Contest” last fall.
We who have been closely
associated with the Coffee
House found it difficult to
change the old for the new and
kept putting “Coffee House” on
publicity signs for the activities
there. Well -- this term there will
be a christening of the New
Birth, and an all-out attempt on
the part of everyone at Capitol
to use the new and correct
name.
What’s happening at the New
Birth? The programming
committee has planned a fuff
schedule of activities for this,
the winter term. Since our goal
is to provide social interest
programs for smaller groups, the
calendar includes poetry,
candlemaking, and various
workshops for crafts. In
addition, Drs. Coleman,
Patterson, Racey and Susskind
will conduct Faculty Rap
Sessions with interested students
and other faculty. Most Faculty
Raps and Workshops will take
place on Wednesday evenings at
8:00 p.m. Check posted signs,
the Hot Lion or Calendar for
specific sessions.
Movies will be shown every
Thursday at 9:00 p.m. Along
with the publicized features,
there will be many surprise
flicks.
Rounding out the Winter
Term Calendar at the New Birth
will be special entertainment
nights of folk music and jam
sessions, featuring student
entertainment and guests from
other schools. This aspect of the
programming depends on your
willingness to volunteer the
sharing of your talents with us.
If you are interested in
performing at the New Birth,
contact Chas Marcarelli (8558
Kirtland, 944-6875) or Pat
Murphy (W-101 Main Bldg.,
787-7978) anytime.
Even if you can’t sing or play
guitar, if you have a hobby,
special interest or craft you are
willing to share with others, let
us know.
Remember, the New Birth is
open every night from 6 p.m. to
12 p.m. Coffee is available in a
candlelight atmosphere. It is also
the location of the Meade
Heights’ Resident Assistant
office. IT you have not met your
R.A. yet, check the duty
schedule to see when he or she is
there to say hello, ask questions
or discuss problems (by the way,
the phone number is 944-4866).
Something for everyone? With
your help, there can be. The
New Birth is your baby - help it
grow.
