Page 2 Letters to the Editor 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. Wayne Hoover Paul Mirabile Ron De Rosa Ken Crowther MEC Counseling Dear Editors, In or4er to make counseling services more readily available to Evening Division and Graduate Students, the Counseling Center will be open on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 during the Winter Term 1973, in addition to our regular schedule (8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily). Marian Krieger EZICE:I 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: THE CAPITOLIST "THE CITY IS THE FRONTIER" by Charles Abrams, "THE UNHEAVENLY CITY" by Edward Banfield, "THE CLOSING CIRCLE" by Barry Commoner, "COMMUNITAS" by Paul and Percival Goodman, "URBAN ECONOMICS: PROCESSES AND PROBLEMS" by Henderson and Ledebur, "NEIGHBORHOOD GOVERNMENT" by Milton Kotler, "TALLEY'S CORNER" ,by Eliot Liebow, "THE IMAGE OF THE CITY" by Kevin Lynch, "EXPERIENCING ARCHITECTURE" by Steen Rasmusson, "SOCIAL SCIENCE AND THE CITY:" A SURVEY OF URBAN RESEARCH edited by Leo Schnore, "PLANNING FOR A NATION OF CITIES" by S. B. Warner, "ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, 1972" (U. S. Government Printing Office). Dr. Kenneth Masters 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. Francis Fox FROM YOUR EDITOR Movie Bargain ** * * Janua 18 1973 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. ** * * HUMANITIES MEE'TINGS To BEGIN Beginning this Friday Dr. Tischler will be holding meetings with students belonging to the Humanities program. The meetings are designed to answer any questions that Humanities students may have about the program. She will be holding these meetings in her office in W-161 from 10:00 - 11:00 A.M. on Friday mornings. Any members of the Humanities program who have questions of any nature, should stop and see Dr. Tischler during these hours. * *
