VOL. IV, NO. 1 FEBRUARY 7, 1975 ote Awn de eirio,c What... only 4 pages? No, you're not seeing things, and you're not missing half of the paper; this week's READER is only four-pages small. The reason for this develop ment is rather simple: money. Because of the current lack of funds avail able to the SGA(and, con sequently, ourselves), we have had to take some cost-cutting measures in order to keep on publish ing. Early in this current aca demic year, our top cub reporter Doug Gibboney in 4 formed everyone on cam pus (in ish #4) of the problems SGAwas having ith money. Well, since we •aw our funds from that •ganization, it was only a itter of time until we Juld feel the ultimate nch.

Capitol Campus has been selected to participate this year in the National Model United Nations, which will be held in New York City, April 22-26, 1975 The National Model United Nations began 49 years ago at Harvard Uni versity as a model of the League of Nations. Since then the conference has remained dedicated to its original purpose of edu cating college students about international affairs. NMUN brings together over 1200 students repre senting about 150 schools. Last year participants came from 35 states and provin ces.

The festival will begin at 1 PM and continue until sun down on Sunday, April 13. It will be held on the lawn outside the Cumberland Union Building. In case of rain, it will be moved in doors. Groups interested in playing can contact Ms. Messner at the CUB Com mittee, Cumberland Union Building, Shippensburg State College, Shippens- there are very few peole willing to advertise with us. So, fora while, it looked as though we'd have to close down after about the fifth week of the Winter term. At the beginning of this term, we had to re-evaluate the READER'S role as one of the campus' top two forms of communication and decide whether we were valuable enough to you the students, to try our best to keep on publishing. After examining how eager ly everyone awaits our Thursday publications, we decided that we were in deed valuable enough to keep around. Not too long ago, we got some good news from the SGA: they would be able to let us have some more money. Not enough to cover all our costs, but enough to keep us going, if we could meet them half way. Half-way meant at least $lOOO in advertising, if we tried to keep going as we At the conference dele gates take on the roles of professional diplomats.
