Award Banquet
Congratulations, Bud (our
fantastic athletic director here at
Capitol Campus) on the success
of the first Athletic Awards
Banquet, held Thursday night,
May 23, at the student Dining
Hall! For the first time, we gave
recognition to a great bunch of
co-ed athletes; both varsity and
intramural sports.
The affair started off with a
delicious spread of coldcuts
before we got into the meat of
the program. The opening was
delivered by Dr. McDermott,
dealing with the future of our
new athletic building. He
informed us that construction
will begin almost certainly this
fall, and that the completion
date is expected to be Fall 1976.
Following Dr. McDermott, Dean
Wolf delivered the blessing.
Entertainment was provided
by a film produced by Dennis
Hlaverty and Ken Weller, titled
"Victory in Defeat", which told
the story of our Varisty
basketball team and their no-win
record. The film's point is just
what the title implies.
Letters and certificates giving
special recognition to certain of
the students were awarded by
the various varsity coaches. The
coaches are: Ed Trunk - soccer;
Al Williams - basketball; Carolyn
Dexter - tennis; George Dressler -
golf; Hugh Spall - baseball; and
Iris Prager - cheerleaders.
Special thanks was also given
to the captians and participants
of the Intramural program which
include flag football, basketball,
softball and bowling. The great
participation in these areas is
evidence of the interest Capitol
students have in athletics.
Winding up the program with
a speech was John Edgely, the
athletics coordinator for all of
the branch campuses of Penn
State. Mr. Edgely, with his
experience and wit, made for a
great closing of the first Athletic
Awards banquet.
All of those involved in sports
wish to thank Bud again, and his
What's A Good Sport?
When I came to this campus,
I was grateful that I could
participate in the sports
program; being a Commuter, it
enabled me to meet more people
than I would have met
otherwise. My appreciation of
sports, to a large extent, has
been dependent upon this social
aspect. There are obviously
other things to be gained from
athletics, including physical
benefits. A point I would like to
make, however, is that my
appreciation for sports is greatly
reduced by what I would call a
"win at all costs attitude" on the
part of coaches and fellow
athletes. By no means is this to
be taken as a statement against
playing to win, but rather that
the exclusion of other positive
aspects can result from taking
this element to an extreme.
Too often I have felt that
undue criticism has been heaped
upon athletes at our school in
the name of winning. As an
example, at one point this year,
a coach told me that I had no
chance of making it in life since
I lacked desire. I have also
continuously heard individuals
being critized for lacking ability,
which they obviously have no
control over. Ironically, the
individuals referred to were
right-hand woman Ruth Eirhart,
for the pleasant evening.

often trying their best. At
Capitol Campus, I cannot see
any reason for such attitudes.
Certainly, no one's
psychological or financial
future should, or does rely on
winning records for our athletic
programs.
I feel that the club sports on
campus generally serve my own
needs and those of a substantial
number of students. I hope,
however, that whether the title
given to a sport be club or
varsity, that serious
consideration be given to
keeping the programs at a level
where everyone would at least
feel free to try out for. However,
this is not the case in basketball.
In all honesty, I do not feel
that the basketball team is
serving the interests of even one
percent of the student
population and having a winner
probably wouldn't change that
significantly. Perhaps even
expanding the intramural
program somehow would better
serve the student interest. I
would only hope that an honest
appraisal be given to the future
of sports at Capitol Campus,
considering the interests of the
students involved now, and
those who might be encouraged
to, in the future.

Soccer Season
Coach's Roundup
By Prof. Ed Trunk
With the final game of a
succeesful soccer season, this
new sport on Capitol Campus
has come full cycle on those
who have pioneered its
beginning. It is a coach's honor
to pay tribute to an outstanding
group of athletes. They have
shown that a major team sport
has caught hold and has
germinated. Opponents are
calling us for matches.
Applicants are choosing Capitol
because of the soccer here. Many
teams have complimented our
display of talent. We have new
stands for a steady increase in
spectators. The students at
Capitol are now aware of the
team - we are hoping that school
spirit will follow.
The season just ended has
been our most challenging and
most successful of our short 3
season history. We played some
teams that were way over our
head and gave them a tough
match. At half time we were
ahead of Franklin & Marshall
2:1. We tied a tough (rough)
Harrisburg League team, the
Olympics 4:4 and scored 2:1
against the Harrisburg
Internationals during that game's
second half. The big event of the
season was the thorough victory
over an outstanding Lancaster
Bible College team, 7:3. This
game represented our peak
performance. The team swept
through Branch Campus
competition, defeating
Schuylkill 3:1 and Hazleton 3:2.
Andy Koval's injury during the
F & M game marred an
otherwise safe season.
Some 25 players contributed
their talents and spirit to this
success. While Tom Peterman
did a valiant job at goalie
(almost shutout Schuylkill 3:1),
our real strength lay in a veteran
halfback line - Ennio Treant, our
playmaker - Larry Lingenfelter
speed and hard driving play
disrupter - Dan Fichtner, a cool
team stabilizer. Back-up
provided by Doug Weirich, who
gave a great performance against
Hazleton, Mike Nonnemacher
who has developed into a good
reliable halfback, and Andy
Koval who gave the team a great
effort up until he was injured.
These halfbacks provide the vital
mid-field control between the
fullbacks and forwards. All 6 are
graduating seniors. Not so with
Ken Albert and Dave Wozniak,
our fullbacks. These bastions of
defense have steadily grown
stronger and will return next
fall. They have both been
scouted and tapped for the
Harrisburg League. Back-up was
provided by the solid muscle of
Bill Davies, the football tackle of
Marino Puliti and a very busy
Pat Byrne. In the forward line,
our scoring punch came from
every goalie's nightmare, Dennis
Doerr. Denny scored 19 goasl in
7 games this season. Playmaker
& trickster Mike Burkholder and
hard working Barry Deacon held
the inside slots. Both scored this
season and added vitality to the
mid-field drives. On the winds,
Randy Hess provided some
perfect passes and Mike Ayyoub
played his finest game against
the Olympics this season. Our
backup forwards consisting of
Joe Adams, Al Krippe, Armand
Magnelli, Bob Lawler, Milt
A Thought
From Your S.G.A.
The Passionate State Of Mind
Today, as in all times, people
question that which exists. Here
at Capitol, students question
parking fees, security, grades,
tests, course offerings and those
other concerns coming to your
mind. Vehicles for change are
available. The reasons for not
making use of them are probably
as numerous as those reasons for
which you would make use of
them. If you will, think a minute
about President Nixon and
American itself.
Are you comfortable with
today's politicians? What can
you do as an individual? Not
much of course. But you knew
that. As tomorrow's leaders will
we become concerned actively in
the future?
The point Pm leading to is

Why fill out those survey
questionnaries on you profs?
Well, if your instructor is ont

experience got you, do him or
her a favor and let it show on
the questionnaire. If, on the
other hand, the person you have
People In Organizations
If you would like your club
to be in existence next year get
on your elected officials and let
them know about it. It's budget
time and things have to be done
now. There was a President's
Council meeting May 13th and
out of some 40 organizations
only six were represented. They
were Ski Club Delta Tau Kappa,
XGl's, Good People
Productions, Young Democrats
and the Chess Club.
Important topics such as
publicity, planning and
budgeting were discussed. There
Shaley, Al Burlikowski and Ted
Domuracki provided depth and
new blood at low points in the
games.
They have all done well for
Capitol and those leaving will be
missed. As coach and friend I
can say that they have honored
me and Capitol. Let us not say
goodbye. Next Fall the cycle
begins anew, and there are bigger
and better things ahead. May our
future be as blessed with
progress as our past. Thanks all!

that we have a student
government association
designated after the American
democracy in which we live our
lives. It contains committees and
is full of bureaucratic bullshit,
just like the real thing. The one
problem is not enough student
participation. You can get a taste
of how a democracy functions
right here in preparation for the
future. Requirements? To be
willing to put in an hour or so
here and there. You are the
government, there is room for
everyone.

position, do yourself a favor . ..
As stated in the May 15,
1974 memo from George D.
Wolf, Dean of Faculty, to all
faculty members: "In the review
process for 1974-75, whether
annual, tenure or promotion,
these data will be called upon
for evidence of student
evaluation."
will be one more meeting before
the end of this term. Tell the
elected officials to check your
mail boxes in W- 104 once in a
while and to pick up the budget
form from Jay Wren, S.G.A.
Treasurer. And if they don't
want to, take initiative yourself.
It's right as a concerned student,
which is to be commended. If
you have questions see one of
the following individuals: Barb

Sorry Everybody
It seems that a lot of students
got all hot and bothered about
Mr. Paul's "quote on campus"
and being editor I've gotten a lot
of grief about it. So for those of
you who can't take a joke, I
talked to Mr. Paul and found
that the quote was taken out of
context. He was not talking
about residents of the Heights,
but rather about some of the
overnight visitors from off
campus who are not students
here.
Mr. Paul's remark was not
meant to offend anyone and he
did not mean anything
derogatory as to the morals of
students. As he said, "They're all
consenting adults and what they
do is their business."
Mr. Paul meant no harm and I
only printed the quote because I
thought is was funny. Yes,
funny because I don't know
anybody that's giving it away,
let alone selling it. Do YOU?
