JANUARY 17, 1975
Late Night Notes
a decided change is in the air, an ominous snow storm
blanketed the campus on the first night of classes. the dull
campus landscape was transformed from its drab reddish
brick and brown lawns, to a crystalized all enveloping
whiteness. trees, telephone poles and cars were covered
with snow. snowmen appeared in multitudes in the heights
while later that evening, maurauding bands of snowball
purists practiced their craft at any thing that moved. a
confrontation between the heights and the dorms took
place in the first true snowball battle of the new year. as
quickly as the whiteness came-it disappeared leaving the
campus a soggy reddish-brown once again.
have you noticed, it's getting to be job time and where once
long hair flourished-a respectable 9t05 is being cultivated.
money is perhaps the most talked about subject aside from
wondering when the records office would get last term's
grades in the mail (a sign appeared one day last week
proclaiming the magic day of 1 /6/75 as the day those
thousands of pink slips found their way into the hands of
the u.s. postal service.)
by now, the reality of capitol has gotten to the juniors. it's
really what you make it. if you can party all week long and
can get by-fine, but winter term is usually the best term
gradewise, as there aren't too many distractions from one's
work. also, the winter term brings almost twenty weeks of
solid classes-doesn't the university realize that a day off
here and there would be beneficial to the mind as well as
the body?
almost deadline time, its become somewhat of a ritual
now, a late night printing session followed by some
breakfast at a diner...reading the moring paper while most
people are asleep wondering how many others are up at
this hour when things are quiet and easygoing
capitol has many moods and when the sky starts to turn
purple just as the sun is rising, it almost makes these
regulation air force houses in the heights look beautiful..
driving back into the heights a pattern emerges in the
various porch lights in the heights. what does one on and
one off signify or how about the colored light bulbs in
some of the light fixtures? the heights is an amalgam of
lifestyles and perhaps it is one of the better aspects of this
place we call capitol campus.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my
appreciation to the students and faculty who served on the
screening committee for the Student Activities Coordin
ator.
Mark Fey, Mary Ann Mitchell, Karen Pinder, Lisa Yaffe
and Professors Mahar and Prager spent a considerable
amount of time and energy in helping me screen
candidates.
Thank you

PEACE CORPS
& VISTA REPS
ON CAMPUS
Hundreds of skilled
VISTA Volunteers are put
ting their special know
ledge to work alleviating
poverty in the United States
while Peace Corps Volun
teers work to help meet the
human resource needs of
almost 60 developing coun
tries abroad. Their work is a
as varied as the climate in
those states and countries.
These volunteers may be
assigned to any one of over
500 jobs. But chances are
they'll get a job requiring
more than the usual blood,
sweat, and occasional
tears. In more and more
cases, the job requires
degrees in disciplines for
which there was no recog
nized need only a few years
ago.
Recruiting volunteers
with skills in such fields as
architecture and planning,
health, home economics,
and education is an exer
cise in persuasion. No one
doubts that anyone with
those kinds of skills could
get a good paying job. Still
an increasing number of
people are opting for Peace
Corps and VISTA. One vol
unteer put it this way:
"I can put my skills to
work immediately in places
where my individual effort
really does make the differ
ence between the success
and failure of a program.
It's a tremendous respon
sibility and an enormous
challenge."
For the person with
special skills, service in
VISTA or the Peace Corps
seems to be a good way to
spend a year or two gaining
greater insight into people
and their problems. Some
volunteers say it changed
their whole lives.
Peace Corps /VISTA Rep
resentatives will be on
campus on JANUARY 20th
and 21st, from 9:00 am to
4:30 pm at the Vendorville
Area of the Main Building.
All seniors are invited to
talk to the representatives.

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor
In regards to the continuing controversy over the
McDonald's grease pit stories that are appearing in your
publication I think it is high time your publication ceased
it's inane mockery of the fine national institution. Every
since the beginning of the year your publication has taken
every opportunity to poke fun at these fine establishments
and I think you ought to stop. We never had these problems
with the "Capitolist".
In grease we trust,
Ronald
Whomanidies
Dept. Offers
Experimental
The Whomanidies department, in keeping up with the
growing upsurge of intellectijalism in academia, has just
unloaded a suprize package.
Dr. Smitfed Garble decreed that,"only at Capitol Campus
could such a socially advanced program be offered."
Registration for these special courses will be between the
hours of 5 and 6 am. "The totally unreasonable early hours
for registration are to insure each of our highly competent
and dedicated professors that only those students who are
genuinely motivated will sign up for these classes." Such
was the reasoning given by Mr. Clyde Crashcup, Dean of
Registration.
1. WHOMANIDIES 00: Etiquette and the Infantry
This course is open to all men and women of high
integrity and good character. Through an intensive
application of the Whomanidies, students will be qualified
for various public relations positions in such cities as My
Lai, Wounded Knee, and Hiroshima. The central theme of
all lectures will be, "Killing With Kindness." Proper
procedures in military saluting will most definitely be
explored.
2. WHOMANIDIES 000; Whomanistic Perversion Work
shop.
(W.P.W.) is a lab where students, with the aid of Medievel
pornographic literature and art, can gain a first hand
experience in participating in fantasies of academic,
social, and sexual perversion. The professor will periodic
ally induce acute orgiastic states by proclaiming that
everyone will receive an A. Prerequisites are Western
Tradition I, 11, and 111.
3. WHOMANIDIES 0000; Neurotic Group Encounter.
This course must be taken in conjunction with the
"Perversion Workshop". Through the exploration of Paran
oia, Schizophrenia, and various other neuroses, the
student can discover how the media induces acute periods
of nausea and comotose. By viewing several films of
architectural lectures, and listening to Richard Nixon's
Checkers Speech, the student will be able to progress into
a state of total psychosis. Cannot be repeated for credit.
If the University is so hard up for money, why do they use Charmin bathroom tissue
in the Johns??
