AND
HELP US
As the new academic year
begins here at Capitol Campus,
we, the members of THE
CAPITOLIST staff, welcome all
new and returning students and
offer our best wishes for a
challenging and fun-filled year.
Soon to start its fourth year
of publication, THE
CAPITOLIST has existed as a
means of communication for the
entire college community.
Although the primary concern
of THE CAPITOLIST has been
to bring the student body the
news, it also serves as an
important center of publicity of
social and academic functions
both on and off campus.
This year THE CAPITOLIST
will be offering something new
in the way of advertising. Free
classified ads will be available to
anyone belonging to the college
community. Charges will still be
made for advertising on the part
of local-businesses as a means of
covering the costs of printing.
All articles and advertisements
that qualify for printing will be
gratefialy accepted. All letters to
the editor will he printed
uncensored and uncut -
however, only signed letters will
be accepted.
In trying to improve upon
past publications, THE
CAPITOLIST will, this year, be
offering such new features as
faculty and student opinion
columns, expanded sports
coverage, club and
organizational columns and a
weekly calendar of social events.
One of the most urgent needs
of THE CAPITOLIST this year
will be for new staff members.
Help is needed in every facet of
producing the publication. We
need people with ideas and some
dedication to help gather and
rewrite news which may come
into our office. Photographers,
cartoonists and feature writers
are also needed to help make
THE CAPITOLIST a success.
In general, anyone who is
anxious to work, in any
capacity, for the paper is invited
to join us. We of the editorial
staff of THE CAPITOLIST are
interested in producing a top
notch publication for the benefit
of everyone but we can't achieve
that goal without the help of
others. If you want to help,
contact either Bob Bonaker or
Mike Welliver, 826-B Nelson Dr.,
Meade Heights, or come see us at
our office, W-104, Main
Building, phone 787-1663.
You'll be glad you did.
Letter
to the
Editor
Dear Editor,
We have been asked to serve
as liaison representatives with
out trailer village neighbors. We
need help in channeling
information to them.
On Thursday, September 21,
we're scheduling a coffee hour.
We're requesting that members
of Delta Tau Kappa and
representatives of other
organizations be present to help
serve as "mixers and talkers".
It's scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in
the Gallery Lounge. Plans
include a short welcome and
introduction of Dr. Stan Miller
who will explain plans for a
proposed early childhood center.

Activity
Cards
To Be Sold
While registering for the fall
term on Thursday, September
21, and Friday, the 22nd,
students will be given an
opportunity to purchase Student
Activity Cards for the coming
year.
The cards will be sold by
Social Committee co-chairmen
John Sheridan and Ray
Nearhood. If last year's policy is
continued, a card holder will
gain entrance to campus
activities at reduced rates.
Ten dollars brings a student a
full year's guarantee of only a
small cost to attend the many
activities planned by the Social
Committee. For two terms, the
price is only $8 and $5 for one
term.
The card entitles the holder to
a 50 per cent reduction in cost
when entering the movie theater.
There is no charge for many
films for activity card owners.
The card offers a 25 per cent
reduction for most the other
activities. Dances, plays,
exhibits, demonstrations and

slightly higher.
"The trustees greatly regret
the necessity to increase costs to
students and their parents,
especially in the knowledge that
many students come from low
and middle income families,"
President Oswald said.
"The increase in tuition arises
from higher costs involved in all
phases of the University's
operations.
"I am a strong advocate of
low tuition public higher
education in a free society,"
President Oswald continued.
,"However, I am aware of a
conviction of many persons in
these financially difficult times
that students and their parents
must bear a higher percentage of
the cost of their education.
Every effort will be made to
provide necessary financial aid
for students needing such
assistance in connection with the
increased tuition."
No State funds are used in the
residence hall and food service
operations. The charges there
reflect the full cost of the
operation, including building
amortization.

The Office of Student Aid

sustained by their parents.
Jesse L. McMannes, associate

to re-evaluate any aid already
offered using updated
information.
Student aid in the form of
grants and loans has already
been awarded in many cases to
students for the Fall term. The
awards were based on family
