Ed Beck,
new
counselor
by R. W. Bonaker
Ed Beck, Capitol's new
counselor, is a man of action.
Having just arrived from "Big
Apple" (New York City) in
mid-November, he is already
inserting himself into the swing
of life at Capitol Campus.
His studies and work
experiences plus his refreshingly
vibrant spirit gives added
strength to the counseling
services. Marian Kreiger, who has
been promoted to the position
of psychologist in the
Counseling Center will obviously
appreciate his addition to
Capitol's vital program.
Hailing from the Bronx, New
York, Ed graduated from Horris
Mann High School. He furthered
his education by earning a
bachelor of science degree with a
major in Special Education at
New York University. He
received an M.A. in Counselor
Education, also from N.Y.U. Ed
has also studied extensively in
England and Mexico. Previously,
he has worked at N.Y.U. in the
area of student personnel
activities. He has also worked at
Rutgers University, helping to
develop the first year of that
school's open enrollment
program. His final experience
before coming to Capitol
centered on his duties as director
of student activities at New
York City Community College.
He believes students should
exert "their own best
influence." As a newcomer, he
plans to spend the first few
months learning the campus way
of life. "Capitol Campus is a
change of pace from New York.
I'm impressed with the
atmosphere here. People are
much more helpful and friendly,
something you don't usually
find in New York."
As a counselor, he considers
himself to possess a necessary
attirbute; that of being a good
listener, someone to rap with. "I
want to do a number of things,
but they are hard to spell out at
this time. I do know that I will
address myself to the needs of
students." He also stresses his
vast experience in working with
minority group students.

"I am especially interested in
doing group work. I plan to
work with Marian on many of
the existing programs. I enjoy
the professionalism in this
department and the fact that
many of the fields of dealing
with students that are so
effective are already well
established here." He is also
interested in promoting human
development and personal
growth.
Ed defines the role of the
counselor to be "an advocate of
student concerns; to be close to
the pulse of student opinion.
Trust is one factor which is most
important. Only when he earns
the complete trust of the
students can a counselor be truly
effective. Possessing a friendly
and personable disposition is
also of importance. You know,
counselors don't bite."
He again adds that he has
many plans for his role in the
Counseling Center racing
through his head, "It almost
sounds as if I'm running for
office," he muses. "But I do
want people to get in touch with
their won feelings about various
matters and about themselves."
Ed loves all sports, especially
skiing and hiking. He professes
his love for music, all types of
music from classical to jazz to
far out electronics. And he loves
to cook. Currently residing in
Hershey, he and his wife are
expecting their first child next
April. He is a man of many
moods. "I can be silly when it is
time to be silly and serious when
it is time to be serious."
He finds great enjoyment in
his vocation. "I consider
counseling not to be my work,
but to be a way of life.
Counseling is not necessarily a 9
to 5 job in an office

atmosphere." Ed adds that
students may call him anytime if
they wish to share news with
him. His home phone number is
533-5393. "Counseling is not
hearing just bad news from
students, I like to hear good
news as well."
While commenting on the
academic programs at Capitol,
he says, "From what I've seen,
the departments in this school
have exciting course offerings, if
students let themselves get into
them. I believe the
inter-disciplinary approach to be
what the kids want. It is
something that in the past has
been denied them at schools I
have attended."
The CAPITOLIST welcomes
Ed Beck and wishes him success.

Los Angeles,Ca. (LNS;CPS)--
Ron Ridenour, a reporter for the
"Los Angeles Free Press" was
sentenced in late September to
one year in jail and faces the
possibility of one and a half
more years for other
misdemeanors.
Ridenour was arrested while
attempting to photograph the
beating of Ron Kovic, a
paralyzed Vietnam veteran, by
two undercover agents. Kovic
was part of a demonstration
protesting the mining of
Haiphong Harbor outside the
Committee to Reelect the
President. Apparently two
plainsclothesmen spotted him
and shouted to a policeman to
arrest him. Ridenour was later
charged with interfering with
Kovic's arrest ; resisting his own
arrest, and creating a "rout" (a
minor riot). He was released on
$5OO bail and his camera
returned with the film exposed.
"Several witnesses watched as
agents Mike Miranda - and Joe
Robinson, who had been posing
in civilian clothes as
demonstrators, grabbed Ron
Kovic out of his wheelchair and
proceeded to twist his arms,"
Ridenour recalled, "beat his
shoulders and back and later
throw him into a police car in
such manner as to possibly break
his permanently deadened legs."
Ridenour was told that the
charges "came from
downtown." He later reported
that the arresting officer told
him, "They (the undercover
agents) certainly have it in for
you, Ron." During the past
several years Ridenour has
written about various police
activities.
An appeal for a new trial was
denied even though the defense
found the undercover agent who
fingered him, and who the
prosecutor said didn't even exist.
The judge denied the motion for
a new trial on the grounds that
one policeman's testimony
would not alter the results.
