Things
to do
By
John Bradford Langdon
To many Capitol students,
our institution is merely an
educational device devoid of
social interactions, other than
the inadequate substitute of
Vendorville.
The processes of education,
vending machines and the stark,
efficient hallways exists, but
there is more to become familiar
with, other than the usual
aspects of an educational plant.
This column is intended to
inform students, particularly,
campus residents, that a variety
of leisurely pursuits are available
at Capitol Campus. - J.B.L.
Bicyclists can take a nice
variety of rides in the
Middletown area, some of which
require very little time and even
less effort. This discovery was
made last spring when several
friends (Tom Maioli, Ralph
Labolito and Dave Wolfe) and I,
took the cycling path to briefly
escape the pressures of booking.
One of our most enjoyable
rides took us along the Swatara
Creek. We left campus from the
dorms, and followed Route 230
through Middletown and swing
left, just after crossing a bridge
over the Swatara Creek. The
Swatara Creek Road provides
several miles of easy pedaling
and little traffic.
Cruising along a route of your
own choosing is one of the
benefits of cycling. This is
especially true when leaving
campus and following Route
230. If you pedal to the
otherside of the Temporary
Housing Project (the trailers),
Middletown’s residential area
provides a quiet alternative to
the trucks and speeding
contunuim of cars on Rt. 230.
Dave and I extended the
Swatara Creek ride, by going
east into Hummelstown. then
headed south into the Hersliey
Estates and Hershey. Although a
long ride, the Hershey area
provides many opportunities for
a cyclist to enjoy beautifully
kept farmlands and suburban
landscapes However, tourists’
cars are a hassle on the main
road.
An area of particularly scenic
surroundings is Mt. Chiques,
which is ten miles south of Rt.
441 from the Middletown
square. The view of the river
valley at sunset and sunrise is
really refreshing. A word of
caution though, for there is
about a 400 foot drop off the
edge of the mountain.
Close to the campus are
several enjoyable routes. A
leisurally cycling pace can be
found by taking Rosedale
Avenue (at the Meade Heights
entrance) and heading north
toward Highspire. A few bits of
farmland, a small creek and
lightly - traveled residential
streets are at hand.
While on Rosedale Avenue,
you’ll see Stoner Drive, which is
a right turn. Take it some day,
because you’ll really dig it. A
taste of the country is again
evident as you coast past the
trees, fields and an occasional
barn. Stoner Drive dead-ends
into Rt. 441, near the Lower
Swatara Fire Hall (home of the
recent XGI Keggar). If you bear
right on Rt. 441, the road will
bring you right back into
Middletown. However, turning
around may be a lot more fun,
since you can coast on Stoner
Drive for a long distance.
Other possible rides could
include a trek to Three Mile
Island (south on Rt. 441), the
site of a huge nuclear energy
plant near completion; the
Harrisburg International Airport
and Elizabethtown ( and
beyond, on Rt. 230).
Distances for trips from the
Residence Halls: (approx.)
To Swatara Creek - 2Vs miles,
plus, however far you want to
pedal.
To Hershey (along creek
road) - 12 to 15 miles.
To Mt. Chiques - 18 - 19
miles.

coordinating these events into a
non-conflicting schedule.
The new Publicity

government associations.
Students not yet involved
with a campus organization, may
they be juniors or seniors,
should by this time have a
feeling of where their interests
lie. They will be able to discuss
with, offer suggestions to, or ask
questions of the organizational
leaders who will be anxiously
awaiting their valuable inputs.
A word of caution, however,
to these students. Don’t spread
yourself too thin. It’s better to
concentrate you efforts in one
organization than to work
ineffectively for many.
The success of co-curricular
activities at Capitol will depend
heavily on the efforts of the
organization leaders. This
burden will fall on the new
students and their involvement
in all campus organizations.
Organization leaders desiring
more information can contact
Michael Leasher via his mailbox
in the Student Government
Office (W-104).
