FROM YOUR
Orientation
People
Appreciated
We take this opportunity to
acknowledge the efforts of
students who played such a big
part in the Orientation Week
activities.
Without the extensive
planning and the hard work put
in by these people, the week
would not have been the success
which it was. In this respect, we
believe we speak for the entire
student population.
The Orientation Committee,
under Miss Mary E. Gundel,
directed the activities which
initiated new students to the
atmosphere of Capitol Campus.
Rita Girondi, Mark Israel and
Mike Dini, along with a few
others, worked diligently on the
committee.
Recognition must also be
extended to students who
coordinated many of the other
activities. The list is incomplete,
but here are many of the names
which come to mind: Sam
Randazzo, Max Brady, John
Sheridan, Ray Nearhood, Gene
Bryan, Sy Sebastianelli, Bill
Reilly and countless others.
Thank you,
THE CAPITOLIST

Bathtub lace
Benefits
Cancer Fund
One Saturday this past
August, students representing
Capitol Campus and Harrisburg
Area Community College raised
nearly $3OO for the American
Cancer Society be merely taking
a bath.
Actually, it involved a "race"
between two bathtubs
throughout the City of
Harrisburg. The mobile tubs,
which were constructed by
Capitol engineering students for
a similar race in May, started
from points equal in distance
from Harrisburg's Market Square
and slowly made progress
toward the fmish. Along the
way, the two tub teams received
donations for the cancer fund
from curious onlookers.
The event, which was a part
of a "Cancer Carnival" which
was staged during the week, was
coordinated through the efforts
of Capitol Student Government
President Mike Dini, and
representatives of HACC.
The "race" lasted
approximately five hours and
each tub covered a course of a
few grueling miles. The Capitol
entry tried to beat the HACC
entry to Market Square from a
point in the outer reaches of the
Allison Hill district of the state
capital. The HACC contingent
began in the Uptown section of
Harrisburg. When the teams had
reached the square, the HACC
team had garnered only $l7
more than the one from Capitol.
One-dollar per minute was the
average donation during the
event. The trek was difficult
indeed for those participating as
the cast iron or enamel tubs
were propelled solely by
man-power.
Once the tubs entered the
Dowtown portion of Harrisburg,
they were escorted to Market
Square by the city police
department. In relation to the
event, following is a letter to
Mike Dini acknowledging , his
effort and that of others in
making the carnival a, huge
success. The letter is from James
Straub, Director of Public
Safety.
SGA
Appreciated
Mr. Mike Dini, President
Capitol Campus SGA
I have your recent thank you
note expressing your
appreciation to the members of
the Harrisburg Police
Department for the escorts
provided in Downtown
Harrisburg on August 19, 1972
during your "Bathtub Race"
activities.
The Harrisburg Police
Department is always happy to
cooperate with any organization
in furthering a worthy cause and
I am sure that the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce officials
were equally happy to work
with your group to provide
funds through the 1972 Cancer
Carnival to help fight this dread
disease.
May I congratulate your
student group for the interest
and energy you displayed in this
very worthy cause.
Most cordially,
James A. Straub,
Director of Public Safety
City of Harrisburg
Political
Information
Seminar
On Tuesday, October 3, 1972,
a Political Information Seminar
will be staged in Capitol's
auditorium, starting at 7:00 p.m.
People who represent the
George McGovern and Richard
Nixon presidential campaign
organizations will be the
featured speakers. The event is
being sponsored by Delta Tau
Kappa, the international social
science honor society based on
campus, and the Capitol chapter
of the College Republicans and
Young Democrats from
Harrisburg Area Community
College.
Ted Stellwag, Executive
Director of the local Committee
to Reelect the President, and
John Nikoloff, Coordinator of
the Dauphin County McGovern
for President Committee will
take the opportunity to inform
potential young voters about the
candidates. Each will offer a
brief presentation on some of
the candidate's proposals and
elaborate on the party platform.
The presentation will not be in
debate form and there will be a
question and answer period
following the presentations.
The seminar is being produced
in conjunction with a voting
registration drive for the General
Election on November 7.
Students who live on campus
can register to vote in this
district (Lower Swatara
Township) on Wednesday,
October 4, in Vendorville from
11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. College
students can vote in their
collegiate residential district via
an edict by Pennsylvania
Attorney General Shane
Creamer last year.
The traveling registrar will
also visit HACC on Tuesday,
October 3, from 11:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. and the Middletown
Municipal Building on October 5
from 6-9 p.m. Prospective voters
can register at the Dauphin
County Courthouse, Front
Street, Harrisburg, until October
10.
Abandoned Pets
Pose Problems
Students moving into Meade
Heights have reported a number
of stray and abandoned pets
roving about.
Since it is against University
regulations to house pets on
campus, some other place
off-campus must be found.
Anyone knowing of a place or
places where these pets might be
given homes is asked to contact
either Bob Bonaker or Mike
Welliver in W-104, Main
Building. If you have found any
of these strays, contact us
immediately and we will try to
find homes for them somewhere
off-campus.
Journalism Courses
Postponed
Students who were planning
on picking up some courses in
Journalism this year will be
dismayed to learn that there will
be no courses offered in that
field in the coming year.
Failure of the Academic
Affairs Committee to meet and
set up a series of courses and
acquire a faculty member to
teach the courses is the reason
for the postponement.
If you are interested in getting
some courses in Journalism at
Capitol, you'll just have to wait
until the Fall Term of '73, at
which time there is to be a
program started.

Japanese
Dancer
To Present
Program
On Monday, October 2, 1972,
Ayako Uchiyama, a Japanese
Kabuki dancer, will present the
first program of the 1972-73
Capitol Campus Cultural
Program series.
The Kabuki Dance offers the
audience an opportunity to
experience the Japanese culture.
The choreography is such that
the story told by the dance is
brought to life. Graceful and yet
dramatic, the traditional dance
of ancient Japan is truly
beautiful. The elaborate
costumes of the dance add life
and vitability to the story.
Ayako Uchiyama studied
dance at the Mizuki school and
Hosho Noh in Japan. She has
also studied with Martha
Graham in New York. Her
performances have received wide
acclaim in the United States,
Canada and Japan.
There will be an evening
performance at 8:00 p.m. in the
auditorium of the Main Building
and a lecture/slide presentation
at 2:00 p.m. in the
Gallery-Lounge in the Main
Building. The public is cordially
invited to both presentations.
There is no admission charge.
Future cultural progams
include a drama production
"Dawn of Freedom" on
November 6 and a performance
of electronic music on
November 27.
