Letters to the Editor
To the editor: Defense Loans Ready
The following statement has
been published in the Daily
Collegian and I would appreciate
it if you would notify your
students in a similar manner. We
have always written individual
letters to "Tentative" recipients
in the past, but due to a heavy
work load we have decided that
this approach would be just as
effective this year. Thanks for
your cooperation.

notice from the Lower Swatara

A two dollar fine reportedly
will be levied if campus students
continue to park in the trailer
village facing the classroom
building. The township police
have jurisdiction over the village
as the campus has leased the area
to the township authority until
next summer.

THE CAPITO LIST
Drama group
presents play
today
Today at 12:15 p.m. and
again tonight at 8:00 p.m., "The
New Stages," the Capitol
Campus drama club, will be
presenting Edward Albee's first
major play, "The Zoo Story" in
the Gallery Lounge. Admission
is free.
The play deals with a young
man's inability to cope with
society and the solution of his
problems on a park bench in
Central Park. "The Zoo Story"
was first performed in Berlin,
Germany, in 1959 to such great
success that the play was
brought home to a 1960
performance at the
Pr ovincetown Playhouse.
Because few people are familiar
with or understand Absurdist
drama, Albee's "The Zoo Story"
offers an excellent introduction
to this artistic genre.
The players will be Toby
Sanders, a pre-theology. student
from York College, and Thomas
Ogden, president of the "New
Stages." They will present the
one-act drama two times,
switching roles for the second
run-through. The audience is
then invited to remain for an
informal discussion on Absurdist
drama, Albee's style and the
different characterizations given
by the actors' interpretations.
The experience is an unusual,
perhaps unique, opportunity in
the theatre.

A group portrait of Nunzio's
Raiders as they pose with
The 'Lion Affair'
by R. W. Bonaker
The full truth behind the
story of the perpetration of the
Capitol Campus Lion has come
into the open for all to see. The
CAPITOLIST has corraled the
leader of Nunzio's Raiders
(namely Nunzio), the group
which abducted the vaunted
Lion and have beaten a
confession out of him.
Actually, Nunzio was easy to
find as he is the only student on
campus who walks around with
a toy machine-gun and wears
miniaturized sunglasses.
Following is the context of his
"confession" (he really
volunteered the information) as
revealed during a secret
rendevous in Vendorville.
On Friday, November 10, the
newly formed Raiders were
munching on some pizza at
Naple's (where else) and were
stuck with an exhilarating
thought. They were tired of the
dull life on campus and wanted
to do something to get students
interested in school activities.
The Lion, they thought, was a
logical object to steal. (How
many of our readers actually
knew such a replica of the
University Park Lion sat in the
main entrance of the classroom
building)? The Raiders hoped it
would never be missed. They
were partly right as its
disappearance was not noted by
the security patrol until Sunday,
nearly two days after its
abduction.
"Me and the Raiders,"
Nunzio stated, "got inta the
buildin' just before lockup time
at Midnight that Friday. The
cops were not to be seen, so the
coast was clear. There were only
four of us there at the time and
the Lion was too heavy for us,
so we had to call up some
reinforcements." Nunzio then
explained the cloak and dagger
exploits of the group as they
moved the Lion down the main
hallway and into the getaway
car, hanging the Lion out of the
trunk.
"At 12:35 in the wee hours
of the morning we arrived at
Meade Heights; we disposed of
the evidence by putting it in a
house. Then we stocked up on
more pizza." (It has been
reported that Naple's Pizza,
Middletown, could be arrested as
an accessory after the fact). "At
1:49, Joe Friday time, we took
the Lion to the coffeehouse. By
now it was getting to hot to
handle and many of my boys
thought we better take the
golldern thing back. But I said
no, because if we did that, it
November 30, 1972
the Lion.
would defeat the purpose of
trying to lift the spirit of our
fellow students. We then moved
the Lion to the another house in
the Heights and decided to let
things cool off for the day."
During the course of Saturday,
November 11, many of the
Raiders enjoyed the Penn State
football game at University Park.
Sunday brought more
suspense as the security guards
realized the Lion was missing.
The Raiders feared for their lives
but remained calm. On Monday,
the entire campus knew it was
missing as did the local media
through information supplied
them by Public Information
Officer, Betty Duke. The
Raiders cherished their deed as
they watched the evening news
telecasts on WHP-TV,
Harrisburg.
On Tuesday, the "Lion
Affair" reached its climax. The
Raiders sent out a list of four
demands that stated: a.) No
punitive action be taken against
any security guards. b.) An
annual "Lion Day" activities by
sacrificing 10 virgin pizzas. d.)
That amnesty be granted to the
Raiders. From all indications,
those demands were met. The
Raiders returned the Lion in full
view of the television cameras on
Tuesday afternoon.
The TV reporter loved the
entire episode. At the end of his
filmed report, he stated that two
years ago, reporters came to
college campuses to cover stories
on shootings, demonstrations,
and other violence." The Lion
episode takes us back to the
bygone years of how things used
to be on college campuses."
"You tell 'em Jay." (Jay
Schuster, the TV reporter), said
Nunzio. "We'll rip-off your
camera next time."
