Get at Capitol
Together
by Jim Bollinger
On Tuesday, Nov. 12 in room
E 202 of Capitol Campus' main
building, an important meeting
took place between prominent
members of both Harrisburg
Area Community College's and
Capitol Campus's student
organizations and related
staff. The meeting was
supervised by James D. South,
Director of Student Affairs at
Capitol Campus, and Jay
Ebersole, Student Affairs
Director at HACC.
The meeting was the first of
its kind; however, it was
prefaced by the formation of a
special Cooperation Com
mittee made-up of members
from both schools. This
meeting was called mainly to
coordinate certain functions
common to both schools, and
was to focus its attention to the
formation of a joint Social
calendar, and a method of
relaying scheduling in
formation between HACC and
C.C.
The main issue, which was
actually discussed however,

With the threat of war in

nent possibility, the arrival
of Dr. Hatem Hussaini,
Assistant Director of the
Arab Information Office,
Washington, D.C. Novem
ber 12th in the Gallery
Lounge signaled a con
scious effort on the part of
the Palestine Liberation
Organization (p.L.10.) to
bring its message to the
American people.
Speaking to an attentive
audience, Dr. Hussaini
spoke of the Palestinian
Tragedy, the desire for
freedom, liberation and
equal rights which he
claimed are denied his
people by the Israeli
government. As a Palestin
ian, freedom comes first
according to Dr. Hussaini.
He claimed the Palestinian
Arabs lived in Palestine
before the Jews and have a
rightful claim to the land
now occupied by Israel
To resolve the tense
situation in the Middle
East, Hussaini urged the
removal of injustice and the
creation of a new situation
of co-existence, otherwise
conflict will continue, as
frustration and anger com
pound the injustice in
which a Palestinian cannot
return to his Homeland.

joint, interchangeable, yet
separate ID cards. This issue
received much attention,
especially from the HACC
student contingent. Mr.
Thorne, head of Registration at
Capitol, said several alter
natives are being studied to
replace our present method of
sending our ID cards to the
same company which handles
U-Park's ID cards. Both
Registration chiefs promised a
further report in subsequent
meetings.
The Student delegation from
Capitol included Social
Committee Chairman Dave
Nicholas, SGA President Mike
McAllister, and C.C. Reader
Editor, Jim Bollinger. HACC's
Student delegation consisted of
Steve Nailor, SGA President,
and Betsy Weimer, Fourth
Estate Editor.
After about an hour of
discussion, the various
members broke down into their
own respective groups to go
into more depth on special
interest problems.

housing, bad education,
and the inability to run for
high office as major blocks
placed before his people by
the State of Israel.
He stressed the P.L.O.'s
mission in coming to New
York to speak before the
United Nations was to
point out the fact that the
Palestinians exist as a
people and as a Nation.
After Dr. Hussaini's
speech, . questions were
entertained from the aud
ience at which time a rather
heated dialogue took place
between the speaker and
Dr. Lear. Arguing the Israeli
point of view, Dr. Lear was
labelled a "two tounged
Zionist" by Dr. Hussaini.
Realizing that such debate
would no doubt continue,
Dr. Lear yielded the flor to
other members of the
audience.
Dr. Hussaini's speech
was covered by WHP-TVas
well as by THE EVENING
NEWS, and was sponsored
by the International Studies
Option under the direction
of Dr.Simko. A spokes

Monday, November 18. Gideon
Wray of Highspire, spokesman
for the veterans, stated the
reason for the march was "to
encourage President Ford to
sign the new G.I. Bill which
was recently passed by
Congress". The new bill would
increase the veteran's benefits
by 23 percent, extend the
benefit time by nine months for
undergraduate students, and
provide for Veteran's loans up
to 8600.
The veteran's fraternity at
the University, known as Chi

Strike

ULYSSES, PA. (CCBS) -
Today, the United Roasting
Turkeys of America, after
negotiating with restaurant
and store owners for three
weeks, have decided to go on
strike for higher prices. URTA
President George W. Mean
bird, in announcing the Union's
decision, said "with todays
inflation and the prices Beef
are receiving, we feel it's only
fair that America's Grand Old
Bird should receive corn
parable prices".
The strike will take effect at
12:01 a.m., Nov. 22. Reliable
sources report that the strike is
not likely to end before
Thanksgiving, and could well
last until past the Christmas
Holiday season.
Michael "Dogbird" Gobbler,
Vice-President of Local Coop
No. 330, of Ulysses, reports
that a major item in the con
tract dispute was a 12 percent
cost - of - dieing - allowance
clause. The new contract is to
be for three years, and, Mr.
Gobbler reports, "if I'm gonna
be butchered three years from
now, I wanna fetch a price
that's in line with our status as
a Holiday dish. That means if
the prices are 36 percent
higher for everything else, I
want my carcass to fetch just
as much". Management is
offering only a 10 percent, two
year cost-of-dieing increase.
In a related development,
President Ronald "Chick"
Clucker of United Roasting
Chickens of America an
nounced that chickens will
honor the turkeys' strike, and
will refuse to be served as a
Holiday dish. Various Con
sumers Unions have reported
that prices of beef and pork
make these dishes impractical
as substitutes for the
traditional turkey.
When asked how he felt
about the consumers in light of
all the other developments,
URTA President Meanbird
replied, "Let them eat crow".
