Vol. II No. 3
Reader
Spotlights
The Reader spotlights the
Appalachian Film Series, for
whatever it is worth. The
attendence of the last film
entitled the Country Fiddle
constituted of three people, the
projectionist (although I think
he left), and a baby.
The film itself was poor. The
soundtrack consisted of
screeching fiddle music and
typed-in messages conveyed the
song and the musician.
It was produced by the
National Folklore Society to
promote interest in folklore, but
it merely destroyed any interest
I had in country fiddle music.
Other films in the series have
been just as poorly attended.
The quality of the film may have
driven the people away, but it
appears to be a complete lack of
interest.
The Reader feels that sponsor
of the film series should
reevalute the films and their
purpose. I am sure that neither
has measured up to their
expectations.
It seems that only sex and
violence flicks can draw the
Capitol Campus student but the
Reader feels that a good,
cultural film series would stir a
great deal of interest, and would
be well attended.
The films should be updated
and upon a college level, not an
elementary school level. The
time seems to be a good one for
there is not much going on
Thursday night.

STUDENT
CENTER
DUE FOR A
CHANGE?
by Fred Prouser
The Student Center, a long
neglected and seldom used
building on campus just might
have it’s image changed if
students are interested.
Mr. Jerry South is interested
in re designing the Student
Center so it lives up to its name
as a place for students. He needs
student reaction and ideas of
what they would like the
Student Center to be.
The building is being
considered for renovation. When
this decision is reached, specific
plans must be on hand to justify
the need for improvements.
John Wren, a student, is
currently working on a Group
Feasibility Study for the
Student Center. This includes an
interior design, new equipment,
and just about everything that
will be needed to make the
Student Center a place students
will want to go.
If any student is interested to
help John, he can be reached at
111 Church Hall or 944-9338.
Jr stop by Student Affairs and
let your ideas be made known
before February 15,
Remember - Capitol Campus
is only as good as you want to
make it.

Chipkickers
at
Student Center
In concert next Tuesday
night, February 12, will be the
Buffalo Chipkickers in the
Student Center.
The Chipkickers are from
State college and many of them
are graduates of University Park.
The band originated from the
musician experiences of Bob
Doyle’s Old Time Country Banjo
Free University class at Penn
State University.
Since their formation during
the Winter of 1973, their fame
has spread throughout Central
Pennsylvania.
Their music has a fresh
country flavor and their
repertoire extends from the
traditional American, Irish,
Scottish, Australian and English
Vendorville Painting Contest
Do the colors yellow, blue,
purple, green, and grey bring an
image to mind? They should -
they are the nausating color
schemes found in Vendorville.
SGA (Student Government
Association) has finally agreed
on something and have decided
to set up a Vendorville Painting
Committee. The purpose of this
committee is to solicit color
schemes and graphic design
patterns from the student body.
There will be $120.90 awarded
in prize money.
A student may submit an all
encompassing design for
Vendorville and win the entire
$120.00. Or a student may
simply submit a design for one
of the 12 areas in Vendorville
and win $lO.OO
The different areas are as
follows: The snack bar room;
the vending machine room; the
two long walls in the main
sitting room; and the eight
sections divided by cement
Urban Term
The Capitol Campus Urban
Term is a ten week educational
experience in learning through
observing and interacting with
public administrators, legislators,
and specialists in social
problems.
Half-day seminars are
designed to give breadth to the
student’s knowledge of urban
affairs, to introduce him to state
and city leaders and the roles
they play and to identify
problems for the student to
research.
Seminars focus on interests of
the group and include:
community development in city
government, the state legislature,
the governor’s office of program
planning and review, human
relations, corrections and
probation, urban transportation,
environmental resource
protection, the state government
personnel system, new ways to
provide health care, county
government, women and
politics, manpower training and
problems of school systems.
Many students choose
internships in which they spend
20 or more hours a week
working in a legislator’s office or
an agency. Most interns select a
specific topic to research.
Other students pick projects
which involve contact with a
number of agencies. In previous
urban terms projects included: a
plan for the Broad Street Market
area, a handbook for landlords
The Hot Line is presently
closed, but if you have a
problem or you just want to rap
with someone you can call any
resident assistant or;

songs and tunes to the Korson
Collection of Pennsylvania work
and mining songs.
The members of the band are
Bob Doyle who plays guitar,
banjo, dulcimer, and
occasionally the English
penny whistle; Joe Dietrich plays
the banjo and guitar; the fiddle
and mandolin is played by
Matthew Guntharp. The guest
caller is Dennis Ricker.
Part of the Band’s popularity
are their square dance tunes
called by Ricker. We hope that
people will come out to see
them and to kick up their heels
to a dance tune. They should be
a good time and a great
performance. See you there!
pillars.
One suggestion is to create a
color scheme that would envelop
all of Vendorville and cover only
a few of the areas with a graphic
design.
The designs that are to be
submitted do not have to be a
finished product. In fact, a few
simple lines and shapes will have
a much better chance of
winning.
After the contest has been
decided, the SGA needs students
to volunteer to lay out the
design and paint the Vendorville
area.
Designs will be accepted from
January 31 to February 15.
Rules can be Obtained on the
wall in the SGA office.
Anyone interested in the
contest or wants to help paint
the design can contact Bob
Hetzel in the SGA office W-104

Childhood Development Center
Now Taking Customers
A brand-new educational
project, the Capitol Campus
Child Development Center,
opened its, doors for the first
time on February 4. Located in
the Student Center’s gameroom,
the center’s program for
preschool children will benefit
working parents and provide
education students, specializing
in Early Childhood
Development, with additional
training through observation and
teaching.
The Child Development
Center is open Monday through
Friday, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
Two years in the making, the
Child Development Center is the
product of a handworking
committee currently headed by
Dr. Robert J. Lesniak, chairman
of the Education Department.
Dr. Stanley N. Miller, Dr.
Donald K. Alexander and
Operations Supervisor of the
center, Dr. Sureshrani Verna,
compose the rest of the
committee. Dr. Kathryn T.
Stakey was chairman of the
original committee and guided
its project through the early
stages.
The committee has hired Ms.
Sandy Stacks as an instructor for
the Child Development Center.
In addition to Ms. Stacks, a
teaching aide has also been hired
to complete a “real world”
experience for the education
students. Dr. Lesniak explained
that the aide does not hold a
degree, but has special qualities
for working with children and
will receive “on-going” training
while working. He explained
that most Day-Care center aides
lack degrees and that the Capitol
Campus Child Development
Center will present that real

working situation to the
education student.
Dr. Lesniak continued, “In
addition, the Childhood
Development Center has been
established as a ‘demonstration
center’ to exhibit to other
day-care centers just what we
teach in the classroom. And that
is, to provide children with
experience to develop healthy
self-concepts and reinforce ■ and
develop intellectual abilities.”
A tuition rate of ten dollars
per week (five days, 9-12 a.m.)
had to be instituted, due to
financial difficulties. Dr. Verna
explained, “The center was
slated to open this past
September, but financial snags
forced us to develop a
self-supporting program and
delay its start until February 4.
Capitol Campus students may
enroll their children for
half-price in exchange for
approximately 30 hours of
center-supporting activity. Ms.
Stacks, the children’s instructor,
stated, “The hours can be spent
at home making dolls or at the
center, telling stories, or playing
a musical instrument. Anything
like that, that would benefit the
center would be alright.”
Parents who are interested in
enrolling their children are asked
to contact any of the committee
members. Children must be
between three and five years
old, toilet-trained and have a
physical examination.
Donations of dress-up
clothes, soft toys, cardboard
boxes, magazines, rugs, film
cans, thread spools, tri-cycles,
egg cartons and milk cartons
would be greatly appreciated.
