Music/Arts
Festival
Getting
Together
With the Music/Arts Festival
a mere month away,
prep arational activities are
picking-up speed. Although the
budget is tight, the event
which is scheduled for May
17-20, will occurr and the appeal
for money has been replaced by
an urgent appeal for manpower.
Pete Forest, who is in charge
of marshalls, needs a number of
students to coordinate and
direct traffic during the
programs. He plans to assign
shifts in order to insure that all
volunteers can have ample time
to enjoy the festivities. Being a
marshall is one of the most
important facets of the festival.
Without marshalls, a beautiful
weekend could be lost to chaos.
If you want to insure a
successful event, call Pete at
944-0336.
The schedule of activities
begins Thursday afternoon, May
17. A group of classical
performers sponsored by the
Cultural Committee will apear in
the Gallery Lounge at 2:00 p.m.
On Friday, the movies "Reefer
Madness" and "Brand-X" will be
shown at the Student Center
from 8:00 p.m. - 4 a.m.
The groups performing on
Saturday and Sunday will be
signing contracts this week. Pat
Quinn has recruited performers
for the folk concert on Saturday
and Dan Perini is handling the
rock groups for Sunday
afternoon. Mike Leasher is
coordinating a crafts show which
will be staged Saturday and
Sunday. Sales and
demonstrations will be featured.
Members of the Head Shop
are preparing to operate a first
aid tent and are making
arrangements for paramedics
from the Hershey Medical
Center to be available to deal
with any serious health
problems.
In preparing for the event up
to this time, many major
problems have been anticipated.
With the cooperation of
members of this campus, they
can be avoided. We hope the
event will be a successful one. If
anyone wishes to contribute to
any facet of the festival, there
will be a meeting next week.
Watch for signs.

A female student, whose name
was not released, was allegedly
molested by an unidentified
male on Friday, April 13 after
having accepted a ride from the
dormitories, according to Mr.
James Paul, campus security
chief.
The alleged criminal
reportedly picked up the co-ed
and drove her off campus and
tried "to negotiate sexual
realtions, " Paul said. The Co-ed
was returned to campus
following the encounter , and
was left unhurt, except for the
trauma she obviously
underwent.
Paul said the case is still under
investigation but there was not
much in the way of evidence.
The co-ed could describe her
assailant only as being short,
stocky, brown-haired and
between 40 and 50 years of age.

MEADE HEIGHTS BOARD AND
SGA PROTEST HOUSING
OF PARAMEDICS
By
Bob Bonaker
The Meade Heights Board of
Governors and the Student
Government Association have
registered a complaint with Mr.
George Dressler, Administrative
Officer, about the paramedics
from Hershey Medical Center
receiving housing in Meade
Heights.
Representatives of the Board
were to have met with Dressler
yesterday to coerce him into
housing the paramedics in either
the dormitories or Capitol
Campus Village, both of which
have adequate space, a Board
representative said.
The Heights board and the
SGA said there were reasons for
the complaint, but none
included any ill feeling against
the paramedics as individuals.
The reasons cited were that the
life styles of students in the
Heights differs from the
paramedics, many of whom are
married, former servicemen who
will have a heavy study load.
Another reason was it would be
unfair to move the paramedics
into houses where
three students currently reside.
A "pleasant welcome" would be
extremely unlikely, as many of
the students have lived as
families for the past two years.
The Board and the SGA said the
action by the campus
administration makes "no
provision for the feelings of
either party involved."
The complaint has the
unanimous support of the
Board, the resident assistants
Campaign Sign
Rip-Off
Both of the candidates for SGA
President, Bob Monath and Bill
Matthews, have complained their
campaign signs in the main
building have been tampered
with or confiscated.
On Monday Matthews said
that every sign, except one, that
he had posted had been removed
over the Easter weekend. On
Sunday, Monath related that his
campaign material had also been
mutilated.
Neither candidate formally
accused the other as being the
perpetrators, but each related
they had an idea "who was
doing it." Matthews and Monath
have asked their respective
followers not to conduct
reprisals.
Capitol Alumni
The Alumni Association of
Capitol Campus will hold its
spring reunion Saturday, April
28.
Dinner is scheduled for 6:00
p.m. in the dining hall and
casino night at 8:00 p.m. at the
Middletown American Legion.
For reservations, call the
Public Information Office at
Capitol Campus, 787-7737.

and the residence living
coordinators. The SGA endorsed
the "resolution" of the Board by
18 - 1 - 1 at the SGA meeting on
Monday night.
The paramedics, who are
slated to move into the Heights
on April 29, where there are 13
reported vacark..izf, will begin a
13 week course at the Med
Center on May 1. Dressler said
he responded to a plea from the
Med Center administration to
house the paramedics as there
was no three-month housing
available in the Hershey area.
Reportedly, the campus will be
reimbursed for housing the
parademics.
Board members reiterated
their "prime concern is the
strain this puts on both students
at Capitol and the people from
Hershey." They said the dorm
housing alternative would be
more feasible as there are rooms
that are empty.
Board members said they
intended to hand Dressler a
formal statement giving their
position on the situation,
believing "that this type of
situation could develop as
indicative of poor relations with
the students and the
administration. Practically all
problems that have developed
this year have been a result of a
lack of responsiveness and
communication. If we cannot
now, at the year's end, reach
some degree of understanding,
little else that has been
accomplished will be of much
value."
