Prof. Redington
Active New Faculty Member
by Mark Israel
NOTE: This is the first
in a series of articles
designed to familiarize the
student body with first-year
professors at Capitol
Campus.
John T. Redington,
Instructor in Marketing is no
stranger to the Penn State
system. He is a candidate for a
PH.D. in Marketing from
University Park, and was an
instructor and research assistant
there from September, 1969,
until he came to Capitol this fall.
Redington explained that he
initially chose Penn State
because of the flexibility in its
doctoral programs. His
background contains a unique
blend of marketing management
and computer science, he
continued, and nowhere else in
the area would he have been able
to apply this background to a
doctoral program.
Redington arrived at a
decision to become a teacher in
his sophomore year at Temple
University, from which he
received a B.S. in Marketing in
1965. His desire to teach at a
college level prompted him to
continue on for his master's
degree. He received his M.B.A.
from Temple in 1967 and, from
there, went on to become an
instructor of business at
Community College of
Philadelphia. Redington
remained there for two years,
CLUBS CAN
EARN MONEY
FROM
MUSIC FESTIVAL
by Diana Walsh
This year's music and arts
festival will hopefully be the
result of the combined efforts of
several organizations on campus.
Goodpeople Productions will
handle the actual music
programs. The XGl's will set up
a refreshment concession, and
the profits from this will help to
cover the expenses of the overall
production.
Although the vets are
handling this concern, Dick
Mulfinger has made it clear that
they do not plan to absorb the
total profits. "The opportunity
is here for all clubs to make
money. The profits from our
concession will be shared with
other organizations in
proportion to the committee of
manpower which is fulfilled.
Through this, we hope to be able
to count on a certain number of
people from each organization
to carry out such responsibilities
as marshalling and cleaning up."
The weekend is scheduled for
May 18, 19, and 20. Clubs who
are interested in taking
advantage of this should show
their interest as soon as possible.
Time is limited, and a firm
committment is needed in order
to make concrete plans. Please
contact Mike Leasher, 944-3103.
before beginning his association
with Penn State
Upon the completion of his
course requirements, Redington
decided to go out and teach,
rather than stay at University
Park to fmish his dissertation.
He talked to representatives
from about eight schools at an
American Marketing Association
education conference, and it was
there that he decided on Capitol
Campus.
Here at Capitol, Redington
has quickly become involved in
many projects. He has been
working on his dissertation and
expects to receive his doctorate
this summer. He teaches two
courses in the Business
curriculum--Bus. 360
(Management Decision Making)
and Bus. 498 C (Information
Decision Systems) and serves on
a planning committee with Drs.
Lee and Brown of the business
program. The objective of this
committee is to devise a system
for setting up options within the
program. Such options would
include Accounting, Marketing,
and Management, as well as
more specialized options such as
an Information/Science option.
This latter would offer the
student with a background in
computers a chance to learn to
apply it to business
decision-making, and the student
with a basic background in
business a change to learn the
use of computers as an aid to
decision-making.
'Vast Wasteland' satirized by 'circus'
Last week, the Capitol
community received a real treat
in the form of the "Portable
Circus." The group presented an
enjoyable satire of television,
once termed a "vast wasteland."
The Portable Circus was
founded in 1969 at Trinity
College in Hartford, Conneticut
as an undergraduate
improvisational comedy group.
In February, 1971, having
appeared successfully at several
colleges in the East, the group
decided to pursue comedy as a
career. They sought the
professional advice of George
Sherman, writer and theater
director, who had taught at
Trinity. Their talent, vitality and
unusual imagination excited
Sherman to the extent that he
proposed to work with them on
an exploratory basis during their
spring vacation. This experience
confirmed his initial enthusiasm.
At the time the group first
approached him, Sherman was
already at work independently
developing a theatrical project

Redington also is doing
research in data collection and
its use. He has divided data into
two categories. The first is
demographic, which includes
such objective data as age,
education, sex, income, etc. The
second is psychographic, and
consists of more subjective
information such as attitude,
interest, and opinions. All this
data is then analyzed, and
relationships are coupled
together and used as predictors
for market segmentation.
He is married to the former
Mary Anne Baker, whom he met
at Germantown High School in
Philadelphia before transferring
to Central High where he
received his diploma. The
Redingtons, who have a four
year old daughter, Lynn Anne,
are currently living at Pineford.
He described the Harrisburg area
as being a nice place to live
because it offers many of the
opportunities of a metropolitan
area.
He is very happy with his
experience thus far at Capitol
and he spoke highly of the
students. "They have a little
more of a feeling for what
they're doing and where they're
headed than do the students of
University Park."
The Capitol Campus
community is equally pleased
with Mr. Redington, and we all
look forward to .a long and
happy association with him.
meant to explore the meaning
and effects of TV on our
contemporary society. Sherman
proposed that they develop a
concert with TV as the major
theme. The group, members of
the first generation "raised" on
television, responded
immediately and
enthusiastically.
At the close of college on
June 1, 1971, they came to New
York; they rehearsed for two
days, developing a half-hour
show for public audition at the
Main Point in Philadelphia. On
June 3rd, they auditioned and
scored an instant success. The
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
wrote: "Funny people in search
of a future...score it
boffo...widly funny.
Since the Philadelphia
success, they have returned to
the Main Point, appeared on
Television, at the Bitter End in
Greenwich Village, in concert at
Long Island University during its
summer session, and are slated
to appear on the Dick Cavett
Show.

The importance of Vegetables and Fruits
vegetables are a full source of minerals and vitamins. fresh green
vegetables should be eaten at least once a day. they contain
chlorophyll, that is natural deodorant and it helps your body purge
itself of wastes.
green veges (sometimes referred to as "vegies" by those who are
fond of them) can be eaten anytime night or day. they are a
wholesome, light, food and are good to eat when other things are
too hard to digest (for those of you who have ulcers, it's not your
diet, learn how to relax, so your stomach can do its job without
hassling it)
all of the above nutrients, except chlorophyll, are contained in
fresh fruits. fruits have more simple sugars. both fruits and
vegetables contain bulk, which is important in having those bowels
move on out! fruits clean the body; vegetables build it.
vegetables should be; steamed, fried, baked, or fresh. they may be
boiled, but only a little bit of water should be used in the bottom of
the pan. do not fill a pan full of water then put a few beans, then
dump out the water. the water should be drunk or used in cooking,
because all minerals are water soluble and you're throwing them
away. (that's stupid).
fried vegies are great because all you need is a vegetable and a fry
pan.
I)saute onions and celery till clear
2) add brocoli and/or caulifower ("call any vegetable"), put a bit
of water in the pan and cover.
3) later, add rice or a grain if desired, this is the time to stir in a
few beaten eggs if you please.
4) add mushrooms last, and cover.
5) eat
when you go to the grocery store and find mushrooms as big as a
fist, you know you're going to have stuffed mushrooms for dinner
that night.
1) saute a small onion till clear
2) take stems out of tops.
3) set tops upside-down on pyrex dish
4) chop stems, add 2 crumbled pieces of whole wheat (without
preservatives), toast and add to onions.
5) mix an egg or two with some water (remember, if you don't
add enough, you can always add more).
6) add to frying pan until eggs are solid.
7) fill mushrooms with the mixture.
8) bake 10-15 minutes at 250 degrees.

STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL
NOTES POLLUTION PROBLEMS
Pollution is a problem which
all nations of the world
obviously face, yet many factors
including economic development
and foreign trade profits hinder
the progress of available
solutions.
That fact was stated by Slator
C. Blakiston Jr. of the
Department of State's Office of
Environmental Affairs during a
recent meeting of the Harrisburg
Foreign Policy Association held
at Capitol Campus. Dr. Richard
H. Heindel, Dean of Faculty
introduced the speaker.
B 1 akiston explained that
nations such as the United States
must realize that stringent
anti-pollution measures must be
tempered for undeveloped
countries, and that universal
environmental laws are both
improbable and impractical.
Blakiston said he headed the
U.S. delegation to a United
Nations conference on the
environment in Stockholm last
June where many delegates
representing nations of the Third
World expressed apprehension
about tough environmental
controls that would hurt their
economy.
He did report that although
no definite resolutions calling
for enforcement of
e nvir o n me nt al
statutes were formulated at the
• .aonference i . over 100 nations
cooking vegetables
fried vegies
stuffed mushrooms
agreed on 107 resolutions that
established what Blakiston
termed a "Declaration of
Environmental Policy."
"Earthwatch," a system of
monitoring stations in various
areas of the globe which will
note the spread of pollutants,
was the major accomplishment
of the conference. Blakiston
pointed to another achievement
as the proposal to establish a
network of genetic resources to
aid endangered species of plants
and animals.
Blakiston stated that many
nations in the past few months
have agreed to stop the dumping
of highly toxic chemicals into
oceans. He said other measures
prohibiting pollution of
international waterways may
come in future conferences. He
cited bilateral efforts of the
United States and the Soviet
Union to establish
environmental accords as an
example of much needed
cooperation.
He also cited a case where
cooperation is not in evidence;
where foreign manufacturers
must spend more on their
exports to the U.S. to meet
United States antipollution
requirements while the U.S.
manufacturers, when exporting,
do not face the same problem in
most cases. ,
