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

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

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.

office if you have any questions.

In last week's Capitolist, Bob
Stanley publicly resigned his
position as athletic director at
Capitol. 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.
If I were asked to answer the
question "why was Bob Stanley
