Business-Types
Invade
Capitol
It was a quiet Wednesday, hardly any classes-students
sleeping late-a typical mid-week at Capitol. People started
to appear abound Noontime with plastic badges on their
lapels. Who were these mysterious people, and why were
they at Capitol Campus of all places. It seems the
University was sponsoring a luncheon for a bunch of
business types-so those out in the real world could see
what Capitol has to offer the 9 to 5 workaday world. The
reality of the situation was that the Chamber of Commerce
of the Greater Harrisburg Area was on campus at the
invitation of the Provost, Dr. McDermott for an orientation
on the place we know as Capitol Campus.
Just how would you go about describing Capitol to an
outsider? That was the job undertaken by the Public
Information Office, the bunch who pulled off the Convoca
tion so successfully last fall. You could say that we are one
of 32 upper division and graduate centers ,in the United
States, and that we offer a small college atmosphere yet
have all the advantages of a large land grant University. You
could mention the uniqueness of the Meade Heights
residence area or even that the average undergrad student
is 32 years old. You could even go to the extreme and say
that at Capitol, we have an inversion of the typical
education pattern-which is all well and good, but just
exactly how could Capitol help the businessmen of the
Harrisburg Area? It seems that one of the educational
philosophies of Capitol is practical experience in educa
tion.
To achieve this philosophy, Capitol has a myraid of
programs dealing with Internships, Urban Terms and work
study arrangements, whereby Capitol students venture
out into the real world for real time experience in their
related fields of study. In order to place students in these
positions, connections must be cultivated in industry,
government and educational institutions in order for
Capitol's philosophy to succeed.
This then was why these mysterious business types
came on campus, while you-the student, were sleeping off
Tuesday night's party. Now the Chamber of Commerce
knows a little bit more about Capitol while we know a little
bit more about them. Cooperation is the name of the game,
and Capitol hopes to play a winning game. The object is to
place more students in real world situations before the
finality of Graduation Day cames around, so that we at
Capitol have a better chance on the tightening job market.

Who Is
Jimmy Olson .
Some people around here have been wondering who I
am. I am Jimmy Olson. Don't you remember me? Does
Clark Kent sound familiar? Oh yes, now you know.
For years on end I have played second fiddle to that jerk
Clark Kent on the DAILY PLANETstaff. That Lois Lane was
also an unbearable snob who was very nauseating to work
with. Well, now I'm on my own.
How did I get to Capitol Campus? Where's Clark, that ass
who thought he was Superman? It's a long story but here it
goes. Since last year, when the television royalities stopped
coming in, the staff's future was on shaky ground. The old
man had a heart attack and retired, Lois ran off with a truck
driver's magazine editor, and Clark Kent mysteriously
disappeared. Clark's vanishing act might have had some
thing to do with Superman's demise. Several months ago,
Superman was seen flying into the Los Angeles smog to
answer a distress call from some honest citizen. He never
came out. Who knows, maybe he's still flying around trying
to find his way out. Even Superman's X-ray vision couldn't
penetrate the L.A. smog. Anyway, when Superman
disappeared, Clark left also. Maybe that dumbell Clark ran
off to Mexico with thousands of dollars that he embezzled
from the newspaper. I'm not sure but whatever happened I
know he's gone. So, with the staff split up and people
disappearing, that left me with the entire mess dumped on
my lap. Just think, I, Jimmy Olson, responsible for saving
the entire world from the perils of crime and dishonor. It's a
great responsibility for a junior staff member to inherit, but
I'll try to the best of my ability. Those countless years of
being a pee-on finally paid off.
So what am I doing at Capitol? Very simply explained.
First of all, I cannot fly like Superman. Therefor, I must
locate in an area where all forms of transportation are
available. Secondly, my choice of location must be one
where the nerve center of the world's political, social,and
sexual point lies. It took a lot of searching, but I finally
decided on Capitol Campus. If at any time there is a world
crisis, as in emergency, I must be on the scene as soon as
possible to offer my expertise to the situation. Since
Capitol is practically next door to the largest and busiest
airport in the world, I can be in the air in a matter of
minutes, flying off to any continent on the globe. I am quite
in demand you know. If I need only to travel a short
distance, the Penn Central Railroad is right across the
street. All I have to do is stand next to the tracks and the
Engineer will stop the train for me. When I board, I can be
sure that I will be arriving at my destination promptly, while
riding in a luxurious railroad car.
My second choice of locating at Capitol Campus is
because of it's intellectual, social, academic and sexual
superiority to any other location in this country. I can
constantly stay abreast of everything that's happening in
this country just by hanging around the pinball machines in
Vendorville. It takes quite an intensified background in all
areas to be able to combat world mediocrity as I do. Of
course, the wind rushes in many directions. While the
utmost in everything is happening here, the nothing-most
also is happening. Believe it or not, the two extremes are
functioning quite well. Not in unity, but functioning. So
this situation at Capitol Campus is giving me many
opportunities to continue my quest against dishonor,
crime, injustice and warts. Lately, there have been more
warts walking around here than I previously thought.
Anyway, my work is cut out for me. So, read and observe,
for Jimmy Olson is back in town.
