URBAN TERM SEMINAR SCHEDULED
Student
Directory?
To The Editors,
We have heard that there will
be no student directory
published this year, or if one is
published it will not be
distributed to the students.
We are fully cognizant of the
problems incurred in making a
student directory, and are
sympathetic with those people
whose job it is to compile and
assemble it. We also feel that the
need for a directory far
outweighs the hassle of its
obstacles. The publication of
one for general student use
would serve to facilitate
communication among students
and remove an unnecessary
burden on student affairs
personnel who must supply
phone numbers and addresses in
the present situation.
We strongly urge the
academic services people to
reconsider their position and
make a complete student
directory available to everyone
as soon as possible. Better Late
Than Never.

To the Editors
Students interested in
participating in the Spring
URBAN TERM will meet
Wednesday, January 24th in
Room 211 at 7:30 PM.
The Urbin Term is the
equivalent of three course units.
Much of the activity of the
course takes place off campus in
seminars held in Harrisburg,
through interning in public and
social service agencies and by
working on special projects
dealing with urban problems.
Seminar topics for the last
urban term included: The
Political Structure of Urban
Government, The
Administration of Urban
Government, Criminal and Civil
Justice, Human Relations,
Manpower Development, The
State's ' Role in Community
Development, Public Assistance,
Welfare and Social Services,
Drug Addiction and
Rehabilitation.
Student projects and
internships included:
Preparation of a Community
Information Sourcebook,
Handbook of Landlord and
Tenant Rights, Observational
Study of Sign and Parking
Ordinance Violations, Analysis
and Design of a Redevelopment
Area, Analysis of a Career
Training Program, Drug
Addiction and Rehabilitation,
Urban Mass Transit, Criminal
Correction and Rehabilition.
Since the number of students
in the Urban Term will be
limited, each student who is
interested should fill out an
application blank which can be
Gbtained in Room W-153.
Selection will be made by a
committee and will be based on
term standing, grade point
average (3.0 or higher), relevant
reading and course work and the
students ideas for a project or an
internship.
A recommended reading list
is:

Efficiency
Strikes Again
To the editors,
As any of you that have tried
to get an emergency student
loan already know, the Financial
Aid Office has been moved to
the Placement Building.
Why??? I really can't say but
could it be that Mr. Slygh and
the scheduling people needed
the space?
The shift is a definite
disservice to the student who
can no longer drop by the
Financial Aid Office between
classes but now must trudge
halfway across campus and
consume at least 20 minutes to a
half hour just getting there and
back.
How about as a service to the
students moving the office back
to the center of things?
Great
The Student Assembly at the
Hershey Medical Center has
announced the schedule for its
winter term film series. The
non-profit organization each
term offers a set of popular and
critically acclaimed movies.
"La Dolce Vita" and "Battle
of Algiers" have already been
presented. Following are the
films remaining for presentation
each Saturday night at the Med
Center aduitorium:
January 20, "Midnight
Cowboy"; January 27, "The
Great Escape"; February 3,
"Alfie"; February 10, "Mephisto
Waltz"; February 17,
"Hiroshima Mon Amour";
February 24, "Phaedra"; March
3, "Persona"; March 10, "Diary
of a Mad Housewife." All films
are rated R with the exception
of "The Great Escape" which is
rated PG and "Midnight
Cowboy" and "Mephisto Waltz"
which are rated X.
The Student Assembly offer
is a great bargain. A student
season ticket to the remaining
films costs $2. With the ticket, a
date may be admitted for no
charge. A ticket for one film
cost one dollar, with dates getting
in for free. Faculty may
purchase a season ticket for $5
or pay one dollar for attending
one film. Again, dates are
admitted at no charge.
The auditorium is located in
the left wing of the Medical
Center complex. Films begin at
8 o'clock, preceded by cartoons
or selected shorts.

ADMIRATION
FOR
TRISH
Trish Hollis, the secretary in
the Student Activities Office,
left Capitol Campus last Friday
to go to Chicago with her
husband, Dan, where he landed a
lucrative position in the field of
building design.
We of the Capitolist can truly
say Trish was our right hand;
performing chores, taking
messages, making signs, and
typing a few odds and ends. She
greeted everyone with a smile,
no matter the time of day or the
nature of the problem.
We shall remember her wispy
blond hair and radiant eyes,
lighting up our world. We shall
not forget her, and we trust,
neither shall you.
