JANUARY 31, 1975
Know, Inc
continued from pg. 4
ically updated.
The working unit of KNOW
is COLLECTIVE. Early in our
operations we had difficulty
with volunteerism-in philos
ophy as well as in practice.
We now pay each worker
equally for their time. As a
working group we find it
possible to operate a feminist
business with the needs of
the employees as a primary
concern. The jobs we are
doing are new to us all, and
our goal is for each of us to
be able to take responsibility
for decision-making for every
job.
In April, 1972, we took a
giant step, moving from our
cozy basement to a roomy
storefront. We've rapidly ex
panded to fill the space, and
are nearly bursting at the
seams again. With your con
tinued support our growth
potential is unlimited.
Another aspect of KNOW s
expansion is our new
Washington, D.C. " bra nc h" -
Susan Sojourner, who used
to work with us here, is in the
process of opening a feminist
bookshop "First Things First"
She has all our materials,
plus a variety of feminist
books from other publishers.
Write to her at home, 23
Seventh St.S. E. , Washing
ton, D.C. 20003 or call (202)
546-4951.
Our greatest problem is
lack of capital-for equipment,
for the materials and labor
involved in any sizable pub
lishing venture. Even though
we are a (barely) self-sustain
ing business, we are non
profit, and we need help,
especially in the form of
tax-deductible contributions.
In summary, we have three
objectives: 1. To disseminate
literature concerning the
women's movement to
women and men at a cost
they can afford. 2. To con
struct an information network
to be used to propagate
social change. 3. To be
successful enough as a bus
iness enterprise to pay
people, especially women,
for their work in the women's
movement.

Sorry about the keggar concellation on Jan. 18! The new
date of the keggar is Saturday, Feb. 1, from 9PM to 1 AM at the
Middletown Hunters & Anglers Club. Once again, "Amberjack"
will be there to provide the entertainment. We hope for better
weather and we also hope to see YOUthere!
The fraternity wishes to thank the Dean of Faculty, Dr. Wolf,
for his guest appearance at the fraternity meeting on Jan. 21.
There was a good deal of football, Com' s and " barracuda" talk,
but also an informative question & answer session on campus
operations. Once again, thank-you Dean Wolf!!
On the sports scene, the XGI bowlig team is in Ist place with
a 7 to 1 record and the basketball team has 2 wins and 1 loss.
Also, XGl's desiring to play softball at UP, should start to form a
team to play there on May 2,3,and 4. Check on it in the XGI
lounge. On f rat service projects, 59 pints of blood were col
lected in the fall term, boosting the blood bank standing to
around 150 pints. Also, the winter term project to go to the
Coatsville V.A. hospital is still in the planning stages.
The "You're in Lion Country" banner project should be
finished this term. It will occupy an 8' x 20' wall section of
Vendorville.
It was voted that the fraternity will participate in the GPP
"Casino Night" on Feb. 25 at the Student Center. It only seems
fitting since many of the brothers gained gambling finesse in the
service. We hope to see a lot of general participation in this
event.
Once again, don't forget the keggar on Saturday night--good
times!!
P.S.Frat members--try to make it to the next meeting
Nominations for offices will be made at that meeting!

Damn The Lyes!
A C.C. Reader Green Paper
Last Sunday, I was casually (at best) leafing thru the Sunday
Patriot News when I chanced upon a newsy item purporting to
tell the full truth about the lye in the Susquehanna. After
carefully scrutinizing the entire article, I realized that there is
really very little truth concerning the lye in the river. So
decided to investigate and even go beyond the lye to seek the
truth in the river.
Well, I sailed for hours on end, through streams and reams of
wretched refuse and human waste until I found a verdant isle of
varnish somewhere betwixt here and Sunbury. If you've ever
tried sailing thru varnish, you can appreciate my predicament. I
put on a vehemently volatile veneer in an attempt to expell the
expeditious extrapolation that was sticking to my vehicle. In
other words, I was stuck.
With a little help from my co-pilot Dordo, I was able to
extricate myself from aforementioned attachment. After
another hour, I finally caught sight of what I thought must surely
be the truth in the river. Wrong again. It was just another lye.
Caught in swift southern currents, I was forced off-course
and back to Middletown. Suddenly a tidal wave caught our
wretched raft and flung us past the farthest reaches of Meade
Heights, and finally into the land of Heiniken Dildos. It was there
that I finally gained the knowledge to the truth in the river. The
truth is that there isn't any lye in the river, but there's one hell of
a lot of varnish. And Shit. The combination produced one big
shiny, smelly mess that is slowly making its way toward the
Capitol Campus parking lot.
SGA is considering legal action against the Penn Central for
their sloppy handling of their railroad.

I have noticed that more and more people are eating
yogurt. To save them money here is a recipe for those Of our
readers who would like to make their own yogurt.
YOGURT
Heat one quart of milk in a 2 quart pan until it rises to the
top of the pan. Remove from heat and cool the milk to
lukewarm. Dissolve 1 Tablespoonful culture (use commercial
yogurt for the first culture. Then save 1 Tablespoonful yogurt
from each batch to serve as a culture) and 1 /4 to 1 /2 Cup
powdered skim milk in 1 Cup of the lukewarm milk, thoroughly
mixing this into the remaining milk. Pour the yogurt into a class
or china bowl and cover (a clean bath towel will do the job).
Leave the yogurt in a warm place for 3 to 5 hours or until it is the
texture of pudding. Chill well before using.
If it takes more than 5 hours to become solid, you will
probably have sour milk. Yogurt will keep well for more than a
week in the regrigerator, and its bactericidal qualities will
improve up to 8 days after being made.
To serve, you can eat with fruit, blended with apple sauce,
apricot puree. You can flavor the yogurt with almost any flavor
you wish or serve it plain. It can also be used in salad dressing
or as a salad dressing.

[Due to the evidently huge influx of articles appearing in
your paper under pen names, I will attempt to place my pen
name into posterity-and the C.C. READER- through and by
the following sincere and thought-provoking article.]
Countless authorities have spent seemingly infinite
hours on the question that has puzzled mankind from the
very beginnings of recorded history -or, at least it seems
that way as perceived from the defensive and/or offensive
editorieals and articles commending, praising, explaining,
and/or damning the building, institution, system, blessed
alma mater, and/or none-of-the-above known as Capitol
Campus. As is indicated, perhaps blatantly and tactlessly
so, by my title "On Irrelevance" I take a basically negative
and cynical view on the question that has stumped even the
administrative wizards - What is Capitol Campus?
It has been said by some learned men at some time in
some place, including the raving pedantic next door in
E-334, that one's interpretation of history will indeed be
influenced by one's views concerning the nature of man.
That is to say that one must make some earth shattering
claim such as. .MAN IS EVIL, since the original sin doctrine
has permanently and irrevocable damned him for chomping
on Eve's apples. Well to paraphrase our great and grand
forefathers, we'll have none of this!!!! My thesis shall be
based on the assumption that man is basically stupid and
at increasing levels of authority the lunacy and insanity of
man's condition is also increased in direct proportion with
one's level of achievement of the accepted symbols of the
trade. Since my prejudices have been bared [I wonder if
that'll get me one to five for indecent exposure-only Jimmy
Olson will know for sure], I will continue my thesis.
During my six term, year and half experience at Capitol
Campus, I have seen many events unfold and fold up before
my eyes: a few plays, a Rock festival, Rock concerts,
Keggars, a number of folk symposiums, a few decent
chicks...let me rephrase that-very few decent chicks, lots
of academic work in what I believe is a more demanding
curriculum, in that not only the results are more intrinsic
than most so be the occupational possiblities afterwards.
This is not to complain because I know I can't expect
anything more from an institution that only demands
three-hundred plus a term, seven-fifty for parking, two
dollars for drop/add course fees or change of major, one
dolar for official and twenty-five cents for unofficial
transcripts, ten cents for pinball or three games for a
quarter, five center for Xerox copies, not to mention
penalties for parking violations, library fines, and other
assorted and miscellaneous misdemeanors. Not many
places elsewhere can one gel so much economics wrapped
around the "free and liberareducation....only at Capitol
Cmpus. Maybe it's a sign of the times or the zeitgeist of
recession and inflation that has Capitol Campus in its
inexorable grip. Hardly, it is but the old cliche of My Lai
"we were only following orders." That is to say how can
Capitol Campus ever seek autonomy when it is within the
bureaucratic hegemony of Pennsylvania State University.
Therefore, I say unto you my fellow Americans, blame not
the apathy of Capitol Campus students on these same
unfortunates that toil from break of day til set of sun but
look to the repressive and irresponsible system in which we
are but a pinpoint on the heirarchy graph, far from the
power source of University Park.

the fairy-times in never-never land

I've looked, but the cloud's too much,
