DTK-On The Move
by R.W. Bonaker
Delta Tau Kappa, the
international social science
honor society, is among the
more active campus
organizations. That statement
can be substantiated by a listing
of the various activities which
the society has sponsored in the
initial weeks of the academic
year.
During Orientation Week,
President Gaye Miles organized
the student to student advising
program, which attempted to
acclimate new juniors to campus
life as wekk as giving technical
instruction and other academic
information. The group has
continually assisted Drs. Kay
Starkey and Jim Knestrick, who
are serving as liason between
Capitol Campus and the
temporary flood relief
community, Capitol Campus
Village, located adjacent to the
Main Building.
On October 2, DTK
sponsored the appearance of an
information session of the
Indochina Peace Campaign as
anti-war activists Ted Glick,
Tom Hayden and Holly Near
came to campus. On October 3,
in conjunction with a local
registration drive, DTK staged a
Political Information Seminar.
Ted Stellwag, representing
President Richard Nixon and
John Nikoloff, representing
Senator George McGovern
addressed a group of students.
Each expounded upon the issues
of the presidential campaign as
viewed by their chosen
candidate. DTK Vice-President
(Programs) Elaine Parker
organized the seminar. DTK is
more than just an honor society.
It is a group of young people
working together to promote the
interests of all students. , The
officers include: Gaye Miles,
president; Elaine Parker,
vice-president of programs; Gale
Smyers, vice-president of
membership; Fred Manas,
treasurer; Brenda Spotts,
secretary; Bob Bonaker,
chairman of publicity.
Membership in the society is
not restricted to Capitol
students in the social science
program. It is open to any
student, including graduate
students, who have at least a 3.0
grade average at Capitol and
have had a minimal 20 credits in
social science courses
throughout their collegiate
career.
On October 10, DTK held its
initial formal meeting of the fall
term. Future activities were
planned and past programs were
reviewed. At the meeting, it was
reported that Brent Lawson has
been appointed by Dr. Irwin
Richman, Social Science
Program Head, as student
representative on the
curriculum's policy-making
body.
Future activities in the
making include the set-up of a
desk providing information
about American POW's and
MlA's in Indochina. - The
program is being coordinated by
Gale Smyers. This week,

The New Stages, the Capitol
Campus drama club, is meeting
these first weeks to decide upon
a play for fall term production.
Acting president Tom Ogden
told CAPITOLIST reporters that
the consensus of the small group
seems to be for a comedy,
possibly a light musical or some
Horowitz one-acts. Other
possibilities include arena or
geurilla theater.
Attempting to overcome such
difficulties as limited stage
facilities, no acting budget and a
small initial turn-out, the New
Stages plans to continue its
tradition of turning out
excellent theatrical experiences
for the campus and the
community. "The basic idea,"
commented Mr. Ogden, "is to
plan for the entire year, to be
prepared for the winter
production by the time the fall
production is finished."
The New Stages welcomes a
new advisor this year, Dr. Jerry
Berger, formerly an instructor in
theater and religion at West
Chester State College. Dr. Berger
brings his considerable theater
experience not only as a
professor -- he will probably
instruct Play Production during
spring term in the classroom
but also may work as director to
New Stages.
Any_ student wishing to join
the NeW Stages drama group is
encouraged to talk to Tom
Ogden, 8198 Weaver Ave., or to
drop a note in the New Stages
mail box in the Student
Activities Office.
THE CAPITOLIST
'Art for
You'
Show
Staged
ART FOR YOU is
coordinating a second Central
Pennsylvania Art and Craft
Show at the Colonial Park Plaza.
On display will be the work of
leading painters, sculptors and
craftsmen in the area. The Show

other exciting crafts.

Prof. Miller, Program Chairman

types of stitcher), and twining,
including silk embroidery,
macrame and twine weaving.
ART FOR YOU, which put
on a very successful show in the
same location last May, aims to
help promote an interest in art
in the Harrisburg area and to
bring art out of the city center
into the suburbs. Mrs. Leonard
J. Zimet and Mrs. Heindel, the
two women behind the venture,
believe that art is a better
investment today than ever
before and that there is an
excitemeht in owning an original
work of art, whether a painting
or a beautifully crafted bowl.
Among the categories to be
included are oils, water color,
acrylic, pastel, drawing,
sculpture, batik, hand-crafted
leatherwork and jewelry,
pottery, wood-carving, weaving,
candle-making, macrame, stained
,glass , needlepoint and
doll-making. Ribbons will be
awarded for the best booth.
There is still time to obtain
space at the show, and new
artists and craftsmen are
welcome. For information, call
