would then return to his advisor
immediately and select a new course
and return to the Records Office to
complete processing.
5. A student would finalize his
registration by paying his bill to CL,
at which time ID validation, a printed
schedule with room assignments, and
any other registration process could
be sent by mail in late August.
6. Revision to pre-registration
could have two alternatives- A. The
day before classes begin. B. By drop /
add procedure.
ALTERNATIVES TO
PROPOSAL
1. Advising could be of a longer or
shorter duration, depending upon the
advising load they wanted to handle.
2. Advising period could be done
early in the semester to give the
program heads time to change
schedules by adding or deleting
sections due to over and under enroll
courses.
Thorne thinks his proposal a
"more equitable system" than
the one currently in operation.
In the same light, drop/adds
could be free as the "bullpen"
advising in the registration line
can be more effectively utilized.
He points out that reforms
must be enacted as soon as
possible "so that we don't
become locked into the same
inequitable system under far
worse circumstances;" those
circumstances denoting "being
out of phase with main
campus."
JERE BERGER-
An interesting new member
of the faculty at Capitol Campus
this year is Mr. Jere Schindel
Berger, Assistant Professor of
Humanities and the Theatre.
Mr. Berger 'feels a sense of
commitment for community
relations with the Greater
Harrisburg area. "We should, at
this point, be asking ourselves
questions like 'What are we
doing here? How do we relate to
the community?' We should
relate to the community and
develop unique contributions to
it."
He suggested that we begin
planning for interdisciplinary
programs like those at Evergreen
State College, Washington; Old
Westbury, Long Island; and

STUDENTS PRESENT READING -
LEARNING DISPLAY
"An Enlightening
Experience" was the topic for a
display of learning centers for
reading instruction held on
Tuesday, March 13 at Capitol
Campus.
The display, which exhibited
eighty-five different learning
centers, was prepared by the
students of Dr. Dolores A.
Zoldos, Assistant Professor of
Education. All learning centers
were designed and constructed
by the students of the university
as part of their preservice
training in teacher education.
Educators from the surrounding
school districts were invited to
attend the display. Over 150
teachers and administrators
viewed the exhibit.
The use of learning centers is
a concept in aiding children to
reinforce skills in all areas of
reading. This method is an
attempt to intertwine the
convential teaching approach
with a newer concept of greater
student involvement in a
learning task. In doing so, the
students make their task more
enjoyable by the increased
freedom in working in areas of
need.
Children in this type of
enviroment are highly
motivated, caused by more
individualizing of instruction
and meeting specific needs.
Students also assume a greater
responsibility for self-direction
`TEACHING IS COMMUNITY WORK'
Grand Valley State College,
Michigan. "These are thorough,
on-going programs that relate to
the community. We've reverted
almost to isolationism. There is
no reason why the business
program shouldn't develop
programs on tax structures, or
why a sociology teacher couldn't
organize a community power
structure study and publish it.
This could even be done with
the help of students. We must
contribute to the community
and make people realize some of
the injustices that are being done
to them."
Mr. Berger has an interesting,
diversified background to draw
upon for his experiences here at
Capitol. In the past, he has been
THE CAPITOLIST
in this alternative to the
traditional concept. The learning
center will be used by the
students during their junior year
class observation, student
teaching, and hopefully, when
they are employed full time.
Dr. Zoldos 'stated that the
goals of today's elementary
school are greater
self-motivation, self-direction,
and personalization of
instruction. Using the learning
center concept will aid today's
teacher in achieving these goals.
Dr. Zoldos added that although
this display was in the area of
reading instruction, learning
centers can be implemented in
all areas of education
curriculum. "Capitol Campus is
very proud to be able to present
the work of the education
students with a display such as
this," Dr. Zoldos commented.

a professional actor, clergyman,
playwright, poet, teacher, and
director of drama. Most recently
he was an Associate Professor of
English at West Chester State
College. He holds an A.B. in
History from Oberlin College
(1953), a S.T.B. - M.th. from
Episcopal Theological School
(1956), a S.T.M. in Theology
and Drama from the Union
Theological Seminary (1965), a
M.F.A. in. Drama from
Carnegie-Mellon (1969), and has
almost completed his work for
his Ph.D. and expects to receive
it very shortly.
Before going to West Chester,
Mr. Berger held the position of
Associate Rector and
Priest-in-Charge at the Trinity
Church in Swarthmore, Pa.
When asked why he left the
church, he replied, "Churches
have lost their sense of vital
contributions to community
changes, growth, etc. They no
longer seem themselves as
leaders, but as protectors. I find
it difficult to relate to this."
Mr. Berger has been married
to the former Josephine Norton
for
with
years: They live
with their five children,
Marguerite (16), Mary (15),
Susan (13), Jere,Jr.(ll), and
Randall (9) in the Hershey area.
"It's a place of great diversity
with a large rural element.
However, only a minority of
people are interested in cultural
development and enrichment.
There is a lack of sense of
purpose in what little interest
that does exist because of the
diversity."

by Capitol Students in the Education Program . . The display was
presented last term.

attitude must be instilled in the
players.
This wear's tough schedule
demands a winning attitude in
the players. Such teams as
Shippensburg, Spring Garden,
Messiah and Millersville will
demand 100% effort on the part
of the players.
Preseason play showed the
hitting strength of the team. If
pitching and fielding are strong,
a winning season is assured.
Barry and Steve's twofold
goal is to give baseball a varsity
status and bring out total team
participation. Come Wednesday
our darlings will start to answer
the questions.
