Mr. Sidey who writes the

reported on the Johnson and
Nixon administrations, and

Third Stone Valley Workshop Held
to prepare the new RA's for
their duties.
The main topics of discussion
were improved cooperation
between the various
organizations and ways to
increase students' involvement
in them.
Along with a plethora of
meetings and leadership
orientations, the group was
visited by several officials
from the University Park
campus. These included
Charlene Harrison, who
conducted special sessions on
group dynamics, and Mr.
Ralph DeShong, vice-president

traveled on the campaign trail
with John Kennedy and was in
Dallas in 1963 when Kennedy
was assassinated.
Sidey, a fourth generation
journalist, has written a book,
"John F. Kennedy, President:
A Reporter's Inside Story." He
has also written a book on
Kennedy's successor, entitled,
"A Very Personal Presidency:
Lyndon B. Johnson in the
White House."
A native of lowa, Sidey
graduated from lowa State and
worked as a journalist in the
mid-west before joining Life
magazine in New York. After
two years he moved to
Washington, D.C. as Time's
White House correspondent. In
1969, he became Time-Life
Bureau Chief.
Other activities included the
SGA budget hearings and
entertainment by the Buffalo

group, at a squaredance
keggar on Saturday night.
The workshop was headed by
Student Affairs Director Jerry
South and the Coordinator of
Student Affairs, Agnes Green.
Other faculty and staff helping
out were: Bud Smitley,
Coordinator of Athletics;
Marion Krieger, Director of
the Counseling Center; Iris
Prager, Chairperson-Student
Affairs Committee; Pat
Murphy, Residence Living
Coordinator; and Terry
Turnbaugh, Residence Living
Coordinator.
The affair could be termed a
tentative success. Its ultimate
success depends upon the
average student-at-large and
whether he-she gives the
organizations a chance to show
their stuff.
Flood Trailers
Removed
by Doug Gibboney
Two years after the flood
that made them necessary and
one year after the expiration of
their lease, the trailers have
been removed from Capitol
Campus.
University officials offered
the land between the Main
Building and the Placement
office for use as a temporary
flood victim trailer court
following the June 1972
disaster. Problems arose last
fall when federal, state and
county authorities denied any
responsibility for removing
vacant units.
The issue remained at a
stalemate until early this
summer. The state agreed to
accept the task and promised
all the homes would be
relocated to area trailer courts
by October 1, a deadline that
was beaten by several weeks.

Leader Seminar At Stone Valley
by John, Allen,
Tom, Dave, & Mac
Over 50 student leaders and
the Student Affairs Staff met
for the Third Annual Stone
Valley Workshop held at Penn
State's Stone Valley
Recreational Area on Sep
tember 20th thru 22nd. In
cluded in the discussions were
sessions on group dynamics,
styles of leadership, and the
role of Capitol Campus as it
relates to University Park.
The workshop enabled the
various student leaders to
become better acquainted with
each other and with the
problems of the individual
organizations. It provided the
opportunity for the student
leaders to work together to
combat common and in
dividual problems.
Although the primary
purpose of the workshop was to
discuss the common
organizational problems, there
were periods of recreation. The
highlight was an old fashioned
barn dance featuring music by
the Buffalo Chip-Kickers and
fancy footwork by Allen
Kerchner.
Falling tents and flowing
"spirits" also helped to lessen
the effect of Penn State fum-

raindrops, and the unexpected
chill of a late summer night.
The conference was con
cluded with a question and
answer session led by Dr.
McDermott, Dr. Wolf, and Mr.
Dressler.
Perhaps the best summation
of the weekend was made by
Tom McMillen, president of
the X-Gl's, when he com
mented, "I think the workshop
was a very valuable ex
perience and should be con
tinued in the future."
