CAPITOUST Sampling
open "Free" Period
Two weeks ago, THE
CAPITOLIST conducted a poll,
via a suggestion ballot, on the
question of an open period.
Participating students have
overwhelmingly rejected the idea
of a void in class-time which
would have been utilized for
cultural and educational
programs.
140 students and faculty
voted against the free period
alternative, while 39 marked
number 3, scheduling events
with the current schedule. Nine
people voted in favor of the
open period consideration.
It is apparent that the
establishment of an open period
would raise much dissent. THE

CAPITOLIST contacted a few
campus administrators and
discovered that there is
absolutely no intention of
instituting a "free" period. In
fact, with a projected huge fall

will be booked solid all day.
There will be no time for an
open period.

Save Bangladesh
WASHINGTON . . . "In lieu
of bombing and killing people in
Vietnam we should use the
equipment in Indochina to save
lives in the starving nation on
Bangladesh," stated the
presidents of four U. S. student
organizations.
urgency of the situation
in Bangladesh and the immediate
necessity to halt the massive
killings in Vietnam dictate that
the people of the United States
stand-up and be heard.
"Between two and three
million people have died in nine
months of war, disease and
starvation in what was once East
Pakistan now Bangladesh. The
death tolls are mounting fast
while the U. S. insists on killing
thousands of people in Vietnam.
"The cost for one bombing
run by one 852 is over $41,000.
The cost of delivering 44,000
pounds of food in Bangladesh is
only $l,OOO. In our opinion, the
ends of justice would be better
served by saving lives than taking
them."
Faculty Pro Ole: Dr. Roger B. Saylor
by Michael Collins
& Charles Zitter
The subject of this week's
Faculty Profile is Dr. Roger
Saylor, Chairman of the Business
Program at Capitol Campus.
Although he was born in
Pennsylvania, Dr. Saylor grew up
in Newark, New Jersey, where
his father was a high school
teacher.
Saylor attended Lebanon
Valley College, where he
received his Bachelor Degree in
Mathematics in 1938; it was here
that he first developed an
interest in economics. Later he
attended the University of
Illinois, where he received his
Masters Degree in Economics
and was working on his
Doctorate when World War II
broke out. Saylor quit school
and joined the Coast Guard.
During the war, he was an
engineering officer on a landing
ship which took part in such
memorable battles as Guam, Iwa
Jima, and Okinawau.
After the war ended, Saylor
returned to Illinois and received
his Doctorate in July 1947. It
was a short time after this that
he joined the faculty of Penn
State at University Park, where
he taught statistics and
researched the economics of
Pennsylvania. Saylor remained at
the Park for twenty years during
which time he wrote a book
called "Railroads of
Pennsylvania", which was
published in 1963.
In 1964 Dr. Saylor visited
Costa Rico as a member of an
advisory team to the University
of Costa Rico. Here he evaluated
the university's business program
and assisted in developing it's
curriculum. Then in 1967, Dr.
Saylor moved to Capitol Campus
as Chairman of the Business
Program, a position he had held
ever since.
Dr. Saylor states that he has
had the satisfaction of watching
Capitol Campus "start from
nothing and grow to what it is
now". His main suggestion for
improving the campus is the
construction of a library
building. He stated that such a
building would not only benefit
the students but also increase
the classroom space needed for
the increases in enrollment.
Off campus. Dr. Saylor is an
active member in the American

Buress, respectively).
"We are pleading with
everyone to help. The situation
is so sick, that words cannot
express our concern. Sympathy
is not needed; it just won't do.
The alleviation of the problems
in Bangladesh is going to take
cash, plain cash," Hamilton
added.
Tabankin furthered ". . . that
funds to help save the people of
Bangladesh could be sent to the
Emergency Relief Fund, Inc., P.

now president of the Harrisburg
Bridge Club. He also has
developed a rating system for
football, and his ratings have
been published in the Harrisburg
Patriot News and the Newark
(N.J.) News for the last twenty
years. Saylor's plans for the
future aren't definite as yet and
he will soon have twenty-five
years with Penn State. Dr.
Saylor is proud to be a part of
Capitol Campus and says "as
long as I work, I'll be with Penn
State."

Public interest
Group Falls
UNIVERSITY PARK (APS)
Students for Central
Pennsylvania PIRG have decided
to discontinue their efforts to
establish a student-funded public
interest group at Penn State.
"There are not enough
students actively involved in
Central Pennsylvania Public
Interest Group (CPPIG)
formation to get the necessary
14,000 University Park
signatures for the May 19 Board
of Trustees meeting," said
George Ferrell, a student
co-ordinator for the
organization.
The organization said that
they had run into apathy
problems on the part of
students, but according to
Ferrell, there has been very little
direct opposition to the idea of
PIRG.
According to Ferrell, there is
still some controversey over the
legality of having a university
collect funds from students to
be turned over to PIRG regional
groups. He said that efforts to
establish a Western PIRG have
been extremely successful in the
Pittsburgh area, and the legal
problems are being worked out
by that group now.
If CPPIRG was to have to
petitioned enough people to
have gotten the needed
signatures and approval from the
University, plans would have
been made to hire a full-time
professional staff.
One of the problems never
worked out by students for
CPPIRG was the role
Commonwealth Campuses
would play in a public interest
group at Penn State. "The
campuses probably will not be
able to get funding for individual
PIRG's." since the University
has indicated that PIRG would
have to be a University-wide
funding project, according to
Ferrell.
Students for CPPIRG suggest
that interested campuses make
sure that interested transfer
students are aware of these
efforts at University Park.
Ferrell offered his assistance if
students were interested in
reorganizing next Fall Term. -
He also said that the campuses
might show their support of the
idea to the Board of Trustees of
the University.
"We took the idea to the
Council of Presidents, but it got
little reaction," he said. He also
said that he regretted that
CPPIRG did not have the
essential manpower to send
representatives to each of the
campuses or organize efforts
locally.
NICOTINE BLUES
Well here I sit airing out my
lungs; not that I smoke but I just
came from class and you know
how that is. I'm sick to my
stomach because some fool had
a pipe. Why do the nonsmokers
in this institution have to suffer
this way? Proposal: In deferance
to the nonsmokers let's have a
ban on smoking in class. Not in
the lounges but in the
classrooms. This is only
reasonable; I mean I don't
smoke so why should I have to
suffer just because someone else
is addicted to smoking.
Summer Jobs
Hours worked include 5:30 p.m.
to 8:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday. Interested students may
contact Miss Jennings, E-106,
for applications and details.
