Oliver La Grone -
Sculptor, Poet
and Educator
/ )
Capitol Campus welcomes
Oliver La Grone who will be
showing his Sculpture in the
Gallery Lounge starting
February 18.
Once a student of Carl Milles,
La Grone has held numerous
one-man shows and his work has
been widely praised.
His poems, articles, and
reviews appeared in such
publications as the Saturday
Review, Negro Digest, and the
New York Times Book Review.
His poety has been included in
several antholgies. Currently he
is writing’ a book on African art.
La Grone graduated from the
University of New Mexico, with
majors in sociology and fine arts.
Later he attended the Howard
Univeristy in Washington, D.C.
An exhibition of his sculpture
was held at the University of
New Mexico. Ernie Pyle came to
view his word and interviewed
Oliver. His interest in the
carved-in-wood head of Calvin
Coolidge resulted in a syndicated
column on Oliver and his work.
His recent tour of Africa
enhanced his appreciation of
African Art and Sculpture, and
also gave him the symbolic
conception of “Heritage,” a
four-foot high mahogany man in
Africa.
A reception for La Grone will
be held in the Gallery Lounge
this evening from 7-9. Come talk
to the man and see his art.
Refreshments will be served.

The Great Decisions’ kick-off
dinner and meeting on January

excellent program and a fine
attendance. Ninety-two (92)

fifty (50) more came later for

A memorable evening of Folk
Music was presented on Friday,
February 15, at the Student
Center which was organized by
Denise Frost and sponsored by
Head Shop.
An intimate coffee house
atmosphere was achieved by the
use of wall hangings, posters and
tables with red tablecloths.
Candles at each table added to
the atmosphere. Homemade
baked goods along with tea and
coffee were available, while
others brought their own liquid
refreshments.
Leading off the evening was
Pat Quinn and Bob Goodwin,
both on quitar, with “Berkeley
Woman.” The song comes from
John Denver’s album and was
written by Bryan Bowers, who
played on campus during the
1972 Folk Festival.
American Standard provided
some real blue-grass music. Bass,
banjo, guitar, and mandolin
combined to bring one of the
best sounds in this area.
Betsy and Stan, loyal Capitol
alumni, did a bit with their
flutes. Stan . later backed up Ed
Wambach on a Beatles number
and gave a Yiddish rendition of
the Beverly Hillbillies theme
towards the end of the evening.
Ed Wambach did a set which
included a song he wrote.
Although plagued by the loss of
his cheat sheets with the lyrics,

he got by and was warmly
received by those present.
“Mr. Bojangles”, sung by Bob
Thompson was one of the high
points of the night, with Bob on
guitar and mandolin
accompaniment by American
Standard. Bob has played on
campus before and is well
known in music circles around
the area.
Other people performing
were David Frost with a Jackson
Brown song and Ted going
“N.Y.N.Y. ” which he wrote
himself. Mark Sherman and
Company did “Foggy Mountain
Breakdown.” Featured in the
group was Sam Spurrier on slide
guitar, along with others on
banjo, harmonica and kazoo.
The turnout for the evening
was really fantastic. Every table
was taken with people coming in
and out throughout the evening.
All in all over 200 people took
advantage of the entertainment
which was provided. The
musicians involved donated their
talents for the evening.
The Folk—ln was one of the
best things to happen at the
Student Center in a long time. It
is this kind of activity which
shows the potential of the
Center. All that is needed to
continue this is the support
shown by those there that night.

Equal
Rights
Amendment
Ms. Jamie Whittv
Spring '75
Many people laugh at E.R.A.
bracelets because they presume
that they are a women’s
liberation’s exclusive. But they
have misunderstood the whole
concept of E.R.A., it stands for
equal rights for everyone-men
and women alike.
So do not jeer at the bracelets
that symbolize a better future.
Let us all bank together and help
the E.R.A. be approved in all the
states. The approval of only
seven more states is needed to
make equality a reality under
the constitution.

The Pennsylvania Society of
Professional Engineers (PSPE)
has a student Chapter here at
Capitol, the purpose of the
chapter is to stimulate
professional thinking and to
instill in students a desire for
professional status. The
organization does this by having
practicing engineers come to the
campus and speak on the
problems that face engineers out
in the real world.
This week is National
Engineers Week and PSPE along
with lEEE and ITE are having a
guest speaker on Thursday,
Feb. 21. The speaker is James A.
Romano., P.E.
Mr. Romano is senior Vice
President of Gannett, Fleming,
Corddry, and Carpenter, Inc.,
Engineers of Harrisburg. He is a
professional engineer in nine
states plus Pennsylvania, and the
District of Columbia. Being
active in the Harrisburg chapter
of PSPE, he was president in
1957 and state oresident in
Delta Tau Kappa, the
international social science
honor society, held a recent
meeting on February 5, 1974 in
the Gallery Lounge. The purpose
of the informal meeting was to
welcome new members into
DTK, with refreshments also
being served.
It was learned that Dr. Bill
Lewis will be discussing various
topics in his classes in
conjunction with the “Great
Decisions Series.” Anyone
ATTENTION
Ten junior students are
needed to participate on Faculty
Selection Committees.
Specifically two students from
each of the following programs
are needed immediately;
Engineering, Social Science,
Humanities, Education, and
Business. Faculty Selection deals
page two
1968. For six years, Mr. Romano
served as Penna.’s National
Director of PSPE.
Mr. Ramano will speak to the
student engineers at 8:00 in
E 338 and the topic will be
‘‘Professionalism in
Engineering..’
PSPE also helps the students
to make their first step towards
professional registration by
sponsoring EIT sessions. The
WIT review prepares the
engineers to take the training
test on May 4th, here on
Campus.
The sessions are held twice a
week starting winter term and
will continue until the test is
taken. The sessions are taught by
the different professors from the
engineering department and
there are ten topics on the EIT
test ranging from math to fluid
flow to electricity. This year
there are 193 students signed up
for the EIT review.
In order for EIT review
sessions and PSPE to continue
next year, some junior engineers
are needed to learn how the
organization works. Being active
with an organization like PSPE is
a good way to meet practicing
engineers and to gain experience
working with students and
faculty. Anyone interested in
PSPE, contact the club president,
John Stiehler, or the faculty adv
isor, Mr. Kormanick.
