(Continued from page 1)
impounded immediately. In the
case of the owner being with the
animal when it is found loose, he
or she is warned about having
the animal on a leash, and will
be asked to have the pet off the
campus by the following
Monday. These powers of the
NO-Pet policy apply to steps
that can be taken by Mr. Paul
without going through the
Housing Office. In the event that
the pet is discovered by the
Housing Office, a notice of the
NO-PET policy is sent to owner
with a warning that the pet must
be removed within ten days. If
the pet is not removed within
that ten day period, the Housing
Office will issue a second
warning, this one of a stronger
nature. After the second warning
has been issued, Mr. Paul is
authorized to go to the house
and remove the pet if the owner
has not taken steps to get the
pet off the campus. If should
also be noted that Lower
Swatara Township has an
ordinance which gives those
officers the right to impound
stray animals that they might
find running loose.
In light of the actions taken
by the Housing Office and Mr.
Paul, the Meade Heights Board
Of Governors met in an effort to
propose steps to be taken in
securing an explanation of the
actions taken, and to seek
consideration of a feasible Pet
Policy which would allow
students in Meade Heights to
have pets, providing they follow
guidelines set up by the Board of
Governors. Mr. Dressler, the
Administrative Officer, has
voiced support for the proposed
Pet-Policy, and is planning to
resubmit the proposal to
University Park for
consideration. A very similar
plan was submitted some time
ago and turned down, but there
may be a chance of its passing
this time if the campus can
provide enough sound
justification for the proposal.
For now, students must still
realize that a NO-PET policy is
in effect, and that if they want
to continue to have pets with
them, they had best keep them
well hidden from the eyes of the
authorities.

THIS WEEK
IN SGA
by Barbara Boswell
The SGA met Monday night.
Since Mr. Dressler was the guest,
the normal agenda was
postponed until next week's
meeting
Mr. Dressler entertained
questions put to him by
members of the senate. Most of
the discussion centered around
the topic of the SGA budget, its
structure in relation to those of
the rest of the school and the
proper procedures to be
followed.
University Park still seems to
have quite a hold on the
operation of this campus,
financially speaking, and Mr.
Dressler indicated that he cannot
foresee any substantial changes
in this area of concern. He said
that we do need these ties with
"Papa Park" (my terminology),
especially those things
connected with housing and
food service.
Another topic of student
interest, the situation with
Student Affairs, was covered,
however-, not in the same detail
that it was when the Capitolist
staff met with Mr. Dressler last
Thursday. (For details on this
subject, please see Bob
Bonaker's article about that
meeting.)
Campus security was also
discussed briefly. Mr. Dressler
reminded the senate that there is
a task and force studying the
subject. He recognizes that
problems do exist and indicated
that he is most willing to disucss
these problems with students.
Mr. Dressler does advise,
however, that the problem be
precise and that the normal
channels of communication be
followed. (first to Dr. Grimm or
Jerry South, then, if the student
is not satisfied, to his office).
Just an added note: anyone
who thinks that he or she is
going to get away with calling
me "Babs"...well, the name is
"Boz."

THE CAPITOLIST
Powerful Mr. Paul
Mr. James Paul,
campus Security Officer
As is widely known, Mr.
James Paul, campus Security
Chief, has been delegated much
authority in his duties.
Yet many still are in doubt as
to where that authority is
located. In order to "clear the
air," The Capitolist discussed the
issue with Mr. George Dressler,
Administrative Officer.
Mr. Paul is commissioned by
Lower Swatara Township as a
"Peace Officer" according to
Dressler. However, he exercises
his duties in the township only
when summoned by the Lower
Swatara Authorities. "For
example, he (Mr. Paul) recently
was called to assist in the
investigation of a bus accident
and was summoned after a
suicide in the trailer village,"
Dressler stated. The property on
which Capitol Campus Village is
located has been leased by the
University until June of this
year.
On campus property, Mr.
Paul can carry a gun, does not
need a search warrant, and has
the "right of hot pursuit,"
Dressler stated. He added that
Mr. Paul acts with restraint in
campus matters and is relatively
by R. W. Bonaker
lenient. "Many people complain
that he (Mr. Paul) issues too
many tickets, yet last term we
had only 16 moving violations,"
according to Dressler.
He explained Mr. Paul does
not need a search warrant
because the campus is private
property. "Students must admit
him into their homes if Mr. Paul
asks to enter. A refusal could
result in a "campus arrest," with
discipline subject to the campus
Dean of Student Affairs as
opposed to arraignment before a
local magistrate." Dressler added
that the measure is necessary to
protect University property as
well as protecting "the rights of
students." Arrests are conducted
within University guidelines.
Dressler elaborated on what is
meant by hot pursuit authority
by stating: "If an act of violence
or willful destruction occurrs on
campus,, he (Mr. Paul) has the
right to chase the suspect until
he loses him."
When questioned again why
campus security personnel are
not required to obtain search
warrants, Dressler again stated
Mr. Paul is given that authority
to a "reasonable and specific"
search by University laws.
Dressler added, "Students are
not actually renting their houses.
They are paying to occupy
space; a bed."
It has been reported Dr.
Robert E. McDermott has
organized a task force to
investigate campus security. The
task force is chaired by Dr. John
Antrim. As of this writing, the
commission has held two
meetings.

Through a joint effort of the
Capitol Campus and the Program
to Advance Veterans Education
(PAVE), a new PAVE office has
been established on campus in
room E-106.
PAVE is a program designed
to motivate and assist veterans in
furthering their education and
training. Its two main objectives
are: (1) to contact and counsel
recently discharged Vietnam Era
Veterans concerning educational
opportunities that are available
to them under the G.I. Bill of
Rights, and (2) to assist veterans
presently attending school with
such problems as late VA
checks, PHEAA scholarship or
loan information, or any other
veteran related problems.
The PAVE office is open
Monday through Ridy 1.0 a.m.
to 12 noon and Wednesday
evening 5 to 8 p.m. and is
staffed by two Capitol Campus
vets, Louie Sleptz and Bob
Chaapel, who are willing to assist
all fellow veterans. If you arc a
veteran and need information or
assistance or if you know of a
veteran who would like to
discuss educational
opportunities, stop by the PAVE
office and talk to Louie or Bob
or call 787-1617.
According to recent Veterans
Administration figures, of the
373,000 Vietnam Era Veterans
living in Pennsylvania, only
108,000 or 29% are or have
received benefits under the G.I.
Bill of Rights. PAVE has a big
job ahead of it and needs your
support.
