Council Discusses
Future Activities
by R.W. Bonaker
Last Thursday, Capitol's
President's Council held its
initial meeting of the term, with
a majority of campus
organizations represented. John'
Sheridan, Council Chairman,
defined a few of the goals and
purposes he felt should be
stressed in the Council. He
advocated a better use of
campus media when a club
publicizes an event. The
scheduling of activities should be
coordinated so events do not
conflict on a given night. He sees
President's Council as a forum
where the heads of campus
organizations meet for the
betterment of the clubs, but it
must be done in a voluntary
atmosphere.
Nancy Colnes, Student
Activities Coordinator,
announced clubs may have a
way to pick up additional.
Currently, the concession stand
at home varsity basketball games
is not in operation and Bob
Stanley, Recreation/Athletics
Coordinator was searching for
people to run it, she said.
Marilyn Levin, Chairman of
the Young Democrats, stated her
organization is planning a block
party for the spring term, the
proceeds going to the Nicaragua
Relief Fund. Don Snyder,
Chairman of the SGA Social
Affairs Committee, presented a
report of the Nostalgia Week
activities taking place during the
second week of February as well
as plans for a music festival for
the spring term. Elyse Paul of
the Sigma Delta Chi sorority
stated her club is planning an
indoor splash party at a Colonial
Park pool next month. She
estimated the pool rental and
the cost for a band to be near
$750. She said she would try to
raise at least $2OO via allocation
from the Student Government
Association and by charging
couples a $7 admission.
Sheridan stressed the
importance of each organization
holding elections for next year's
officers prior to the conclusion
of the present term. He believes
new organizational heads should
be given ample time to adjust to
the responsibilities each
president encounters.
SGA Treasurer Tom Dixon
was present to give a few helpful
hints concerning club
expenditures and budget
requests. He stated clubs which
are planning trips for the
remainder of the year may
submit a budget for the trip and
the SGA will consider it, giving
priority on a first-come,
first-served basis and the
availability of funds through
pinball machine revenue.
Sheridan stressed the importance
of clubs using their money
wisely and advocated the use to
the extent they should break
even by the end of the spring
term. Dixon and Sheridan, both
members of the SGA Finance
Committee, pointed out what
their committee looks for when
the yearly budgets are
submitted. They warned against
"out of this world" budgets,
resulting in a situation which
appeared last fall as the requests
from all organizations exceeded
the general SGA budget by some
$20,000. According to Dixon,
the Budget Committee approves
of speakers and cultural events
as opposed to dances, trips and
supplies requests. Money for
trips is allocated at various times
during the year, supplies are
covered by SGA operational
expenses and dances are usually
"matched" by the Social
Committee. Sheridan added that
printing as handled by
Instructional Services can only
be accomplished with the
written permission of Dixon,
SGA President Mike Dim or
himself.
Representatives from the
Black Student Union explained
plans for the organization's Arts
Festival to be staged beginning
April 3. The five day program
will include a basketball game
(one of the teams is the
se mi-professional Philadelphia
Bullets) and a party, a
presentation by the Billy Peters
drama group, a talent show and
dance with the S.C.L.C.
featuring Carol Sims, and a
concert as well as numerous
other activities including poetry
readings. All proceeds will
benefit the B.S.U. Scholarship
fund. The B.S.U. estimated the
total costs for the festival to be
$4,000. It is hoped to raise the
money from its own budget and
raise $l,OOO through various
means. It appeared the
organization would receive $3OO
from the SGA as well as a $2OO
loan. Mike Jones, B.S.U.
Vi ce -P re side nt, asked the
Council for assistance via funds
and manpower.
The next Council meeting
was scheduled for February 8.

THE CAPITO LIST
XGI NEWS
by Bob Chaapel
In a unanimous decision, the
United States District Court for
the Middle District of
Pennsylvania in Scranton upheld
the constitutionality of the
Commonwealths' Veterans'
Preference Act used in civil
service job placement.
The decision, handed down
Thursday, January 11, affirms
that the Veterans' Preference
Act, which allows eligible
veterans an extra ten points on
civil service examinations, is
constitutional and that the State
Civil Service Commission must
abide by it.
In Harrisburg, A House of
Representatives task force,
chaired by Rep. William J.
Lederer, has recommended that
the Commonwealth provide
direct grants of $5O per month to
veterans attending school under
the G. I. Bill.
The task force cited Veterans
Administration figures showing
that of 373,000 Vietnam era
veterans living in Pennsylvania,
only 108,000 have taken
advantage of their G. I. Bill
benefits.
A big thanks goes out to all
those who helped make the last
XGI Keggar a big success. The
second keggar of the Winter term
will be held this Friday, January
26, from 9 p.m. till 1 a.m. at the
Middletown American Legion.

Stereo systems in the $4OO price range while not unpleasant
to listen to, have not as a rule provided that last bit of musical
accuracy for those who take their listening very seriously. Our
$409 ADVENT/SANSUI/BSR/SHURE stereo system has
changed all that, as many of our critical and satisfied
customers who own it will testify.
The Smaller Advent loudspeakers are a startling speaker
bargain, of which highly respected Stereo Review Magazine
said, "Any preconceived ideas you may have about the
limitations of sub-compact speaker fystems will, we think, be
shattered." The Sansu i 350 A AM/FM stereo receiver provides
sufficient power (over 44 RMS watts of it) to handle the most
tortuous musical passages in the average living room, and its
sensitive tuner will capture your favorite radio stations with
clarity. The BSR/510X automatic turntable with a Shure
M7SC cartridge and diamond stylus will treat your records
gently and add no unpleasant sounds of its own.
Together these remarkable components cost just $409 a
saving of $31.35 over their usual individual prices. If you've
thought that a stereo system in this price range couldn't
provide quite enough sonic satisfaction, we invite you to visit
L.B.R. AUDIO ASSOCIATES and learn otherwise.
