Page 2 Editorial Hats off to the B.S.U. We of The Capitolist take this opportunity to congratulate all the members of the Black Student Union upon the apparent success of the Black Arts Festival. It was quite an enjoyable week. The B.S.U. presented a variety of activities ranging from speakers to basketball to workshop to art to plays and dances to concert to fried chicken. And for a good cause as proceeds benefited the organization's scholarship fund. The events were fairly well attended, and we think the entire experience benefited the Capitol Community. Several individuals put an abundance of time and effort into the festival, including Evon Golphin, Terrie Aycox, Mike Jones, Steve Berry, Deloras Garrison and others who bear mention. They should all be commended. ** * * Letters to the Editor Soggy French Fries To the Editor; As I sat in the campus cafeteria today contemplating a recently purchased dish of french fries, the disc jockey on WZAP Radio expressed the hope that her listeners were enjoying what resembled the lunch they were eating. I can't begin to number the times I've echanged a quarter only to find a group of half-baked, soggy, disgusting french fries. I can hardly believe the culinary abilities of Servomation employees can be so poor. How long can the student body allow such a deplorable situation to exist? Doesn't anybody really care about the shit we eat? I've had enough !! Paul A.

John Antrim, who had objections to the poll conducted by the American Association of University Professors regarding collective bargaining. Antrim said the poll was "not official and was ignored by many faculty members." In the same vein, he said the questions on the ballot "were so structured as to skirt the real issues which is 'does or doesn't the faculty want collective bargaining?" Below the letter, we printed a The Brothers of Chi Gamma lota Fraternity would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new students to the campus.

One faculty member who signed the petition has decided to clarify his position in the matter. In a note to the editor, Dr. Lloyd Woodruff said he "signed it in the sport of wanting to encourage more interest in the issue," and did not necessarily "support" Antrim's position. * * * Term this Friday, April 13, at the Hummelstown Fire Company.

NOTE: The Capitolist recognizes its duty to provide space for both student and faculty to air their opinions on a variety of subjects. Following is a comment by a Capitol Campus senior, regarding the current international balance of power. Recently in the news reports of the Communist Chinese creating a super missile, the Soviets fireing missiles in the Chinese' direction, and talks of a three sided balance between Moscow, Peking and Washington has led me to a few conclusions. The first of which is, that war between two or all three of the parties is approaching the state of inevitability. China is the intangible at the time! As she growi stronger, the world, in it's present condition, is nearing the point where talking is obsolete. Speaking of 'talking, it's fascinating to look at current developments. The first one is that the Soviets still permitted our "illustrious" leader to enter their country after the mining of Haiphong Harbor. The second is the visitation of President Nixon to Red China. The third, and possibly the most important, is the rumor of a U.S. troop pullout from Taiwan. I feel that utmost in importance is the OretnitrtCaw Gene -Mater LET THEM EAT LESS!* " THE OREATEST AND MOST POWERFUL WEAPON AGAINST HIGH PRICES IS THE AmeßcANs - House_ w lER DECISIONS- lAMETHER ou•f SOME - THIKS6 MORE ExPemsivE OR LESS ExpENSIVE, HAVE. A FAR GREATER EFFECT ON PRIcE CotsTßoL "THAN ANYTHING WE Do HERE . " C rentlin itiiiase Gene rater REMEMBER THE OTHER VETS ? ERE'S A P.O. by Bill Starsinic relationship we have with Red China. All along, Mao's government maintained that if we pullout of Taiwan we would be going in the right direction towards a friendlier relationship. This should be an easy thing for us to do for we should not be there in the first place. What business did the U.S. have interfering in the civil war between Chiang's Nati nalists and Mao's Communists? Another reason pointing to the simplicity of a Taiwan pullout is that the U.S. would be stabbing Chiang in the back; something our country does not only do well, but often. Why this discussion? Because this all ties in with our possible future. China's history, that in contact with the U.S., decides if we will survive or not. This is a crisis in American History and a crisis in the World's future that must not be ignored. rtf „, . , ~0„ _ _._ o+4, WOW F April 12, 1 EZZI3 Mc LAME IFEEM
