May 17, 1973 Capitolist; inefficient amusement weekly As students of this school we are dismayed to find that the only voice of the student body, "The Capitolist", is an inefficent amusement weekly. This opinion is prompted by the observance of inaccurate reporting in several articles in the past few weeks. One example is the reporting of the "Rites of Spring" that occured Sunday, May 6. The only people mentioned in the article were the musicians and these people were mentioned by name of individuals and not by professional names of the groups. Not one word was given to the Meade Heights Board of Governors, who worked hard in assembling the lunches and also donated the prizes for the games that occured. Also left out of the acknowledgements was Pat Murphy without whose help the event might not have happened. In the article it was reported that their was a barbecue and poetry reading. If the paper had sent a reporter to the scene he would have observed that there were cold box lunches and there was no poetry reading. This is just one example of the articles that are published in the paper. Other inefficiencies in reporting have been seen in the article on the paramedics. Representation of the facts and amendments presented by the Board of Governors to Mr. Dressler concerning the paramedics made the Board of Governors look like a group of self-centered individuals wanting to live with people only of their own life style. If a member of the staff of the newspaper were present at the Board of Governors meeting or any other group meetings then the newspaper would be aware of June Commencement Information Dear Graduate Commencement ceremonies for the Spring Term graduates are scheduled to be held June 16, at 1:30 p.m. on the campus. In case of rain, they will be held in the Farm Show Building in Harrisburg at 2:30 p.m. Walter M. Slygh, Academic Services Officer, has requested that the following be noted to each graduating student. "Rule E-10, Academic and Administrative Rules for Undergraduate Students, reads as follows: 'Each candidate for a degree must be present at the commencement exercises to receive his/ her diploma in person, unless excused by his dean and the Records Officer, acting as a committee of the Council of Academic Deans. An excuse for absence from commencement will not ordinarily be granted except where absence is clearly unavoidable.' The capitol campus has commencement exercises in June and December. Students People owe Yearbook money By Jan Marks The following is a list of people that have not paid the balance on their 73 Capitolite. This balance must be paid by May 25, 1973. If it is not paid the yearbook staff can not promise that the subscriber will receive his or her yearbook. Refunds will not be given on the deposits. Payments can be made in W-105 to Patt Brooks. Charles Lapinski, Red Betoni, Ronald Landis, Ron Devlin, Andrew Oronzi, Marilyn Levin, Ed Gangsle, John Schwartz, Jim Yorgey, Sam Randazzo, Dan Letters the correct facts. It has been noticed by this group of writers that inadequate representation of the newspaper at staff meetings of organizations and event organizers, has been poor if not completely void. This misrepresentation of facts has caused misunderstandings among groups of involved people. It is not the responsibility of the newspaper to have a reporter present to collect facts and get first hand knowledge of the events on campus? Finally, there is the question of the newspaper's priorities. In last weeks paper the front page was filled with articles on amusement activities. On the editorial page there was a letter from Bob Stanley, the Athletic Director, explaining his resignation this was an intriguing letter that merited further investigation. However, the editor decided to just publish the letter and go no further with the issue. We would like to ask why was there no article written about this resignation or other events in this school that the students deserve to know about. Is the newspaper acting as an instrument of the administration, keeping the students misinformed and in some cases uninformed? Or does the editor feel that the truth is too much for us to take? We submit that the students of this school deserve a better newspaper with all the important facts reported accurately. graduating at the termination of the Spring Term are required to attend commencement on June 16, 1973, unless prior approval is granted. Applications for "Graduation in Absentia" are available from Mrs. Hippie in E-106. If graduates approved for absentia desire to have their diploma mailed a check for $5.00 must be submitted with the application to cover the administrative cost. Students who fail to apply for graduation in absentia and who do not attend commencement will be charged the $5.00 fee which must be paid before the diploma will be released. The above ruling applies to both Undergraduate and Master Degree Candidates who graduate in June and December." Further information on processional and seating arrangements will be forwarded to you in early June. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions. Betty C.

I, as are many others, am sorry to see Bob leave because I feel he is the most dedicated man to sports I have ever met. He has done a lot for intramurals, trying to establish sports that every student can participate in. Mr. Stanley had some great ideas for the sports program at Capitol. Although some of his ideas for varsity sports at Capitol will never be attained, they laid the groundwork for building a collection of varsity sports. As captain of this year's tennis team, I probably had as many confrontations with Mr. Stanley as anyone else. Although the majority of the time my requests for supplies or equipment were turned down, Mr. Stanley never said no unless he could prove to me there was no possible financial way to supply my requests. I feel with the monetary budget Mr. Stanley was given, he did as much, if not more, than anyone else could have done.
