Letters To The Editor
You deserve
a name today
In reply to the article
"An American Tragedy:
Your Kind Of * Place" I
sincerely have to say that
whoever wrote this article
has a very poor concept of
the situation. As a former
employee of McDonald's of
several years standing I feel
that I can speak with a little
more authority on the
situation. Being an older
employee there were many
nights when I worked until
closing time at 12 midnight
or 1 AM. As such I was
constantly exposed to the
flow of hordes of teen
agers, some of which were
will behaved, others so
repulsive as to make you
want to take a shot at them
yourself. On one occasion
after a football game we
almost has a small riot due
to those dear teenagers the
author so lovingly descri
bes. It was due to the fact
that a security guard was
on the scene with a shock
prod that a disaster was
averted. You probably don't
realize that McDonald's has
to pay for the services of
the guard out of their own
money, since local com
munities are not and
cannot provide adequate
service to stores in the
form of police protection.
The real American tragedy
is not the guards at "Your
Kind Of Place", but the
teenagers that create the
need for their being there
in the first place. As for the
fact of them worrying about
losing a little bit of money
because a window person
forgot to say thank-you
that's a lot of nonsense. I
never received a large
salary from McDonald's,
but everyone on the crew as
well as the management
cared enough to give the
customers the best possi
ble food with the most
efficient, kind, and courte
ous service possible. Their
motto is QSC* which
stands for QUALITY,
SERVICE, and CLEANLI
NESS. I for one am glad to
see that they feel sincerely
enough about it to back
that up with a guarantee. If
McDonald's isn't "Your
Kind Of 'Place" then I'd like
to know what the hell is!!!!

No more junk mail!
To Whom It May Concern:
I honestly believed that,
after having moved away
froffe home for awhile to
attend graduate school, I
would be spared, at least
temporarily, from the ava
lanche of junk mail that
constantly seems to be
stuffing mailboxes. But
here, at Capitol Campus,
junk mail has found a new
receptacle --namely, the
windshields of unsuspec
ting automobiles. I refer
specifically to the propa
ganda "bulletin" distribu
ted by the Primrose Dream
Ovenware Co. First of all,
these "bulletins" will prob
ably be seen littering
campus grounds for the
next few weeks. Are the
people responsible for dis
tributing this material will
ing to clean up the eventual
mess? Secondly, I thought
that soliciting was illegal
on this campus. Where
was our usually diligent
security force if this illegal
activity had gone on
unnoticed? (Probably too
busy looking at car bump
ers for parking stickers,
never even noticing wind
shields). Thirdly, if this
solicitation received clear
ance from someone in
administration, why
weren't the students con
sulted about their feelings
prior to this occurrence? I,
personally, resent the fact
that a commercial firm be
allowed to make use of a
captive audience, in a
sense, in attempt to peddle
their wares. I just can't help
but think back to what
happened to the money
changers in the temple in
the New Testament story...

XFI REPORTER
Well folks, this is it! The last issue of the C.C. Reader for this
term and also the last column that I will be writing. I will be back
in the Spring term, but first I'm going out to do a little accounting
work next term. I hope to have someone fill in foi me and continue
the column, so don't stop reading.
December 7, Olmsted Base Gym was the scene of a special
basketball game between the nurses of Harrisburg Hospital and
the XGI Fraternity. The score will be posted for interested parties
in the XGI Lounge.
On December 14 the XGI Fraternity will attend the Hershey
Bear vs. New Haven hockey game. Game time is 8 P.M. Thirty
tickets have been purchased and will be available on a first-come,
first-serve basis. You must sign up in the XGI Lounge ASAP.
Dateline -- Dallas, Texas - Members of the XGI Fraternity will
"turck" their way to the Cotton Bowl and back through "Coors"
country. I know the "crew" which is going will be able to account
for all the plays and action of the game???? Just ask them when
they return!! if they return.. I have my doubts since the truck
space has already been accounted for, all for "Coors".
LUCKY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13. It sure will be for four
people holding XGI Raffle tickets. That's the day of the big
drawing. The drawing will be held at the roundtable at ap
proximately 9 A.M. Winners will be posted throughout the school
and dorms. Good Luck to all of You, and to me also, of course.
The next XGI meeting will be held January 7, 1975. If you would
like to join the fraternity, this is your golden opportunity. Meeting
time is 9 P.M. at the famous TILTIN'-HILTON Hotel.
Yes, it is that time of the year. Christmas decorations have been
spotted in Vendorville, the Records Office, and even Student Af
fairs has taken on a new look. It won't be long now. Therefore, on
behalf of the XGI FRATERNITY, may I wish all of -you, the
students, the faculty, and the administration of Capitol Campus
the Merriest Christmas ever and a Very Prosperous and Happy
New Year!
