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.
Originally, our problem
is to make up some

CAPITOL TO PARTICIPATE IN
MODEL U.N.
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. About 250 of the dele
gates were citizens of some
32 nations outside of North
America. Accommodations
this year will be at the
Statler Hilton with several
of the sessions being held
at the United Nations com-

seeking music groups to
participate in a Blue Grass
Festival it is scheduling
for April 13 on campus.
"We would like to hear
from any blue grass group
interested in playing, ' said
Barb Messner, chairperson
of the Cumberland Union
Building Committee. 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.

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

CC Student presents
paper to Nat'l conference
Mark Fey,a senior here at
Capitol, recently presented
a paper at the International
Convention of the Amer
ican Mathematical Society
Conference in Washington,
D.C., on January 23,1975.
Mark's paper dealt with
ordinary differential equa
tions. He expanded on a
previous theory which in
cluded work by Dr.
DiAntonio, Math Prof. here
at Capitol. Dr. DiAntonio
was the first to find orbits
in the real plane for this
equation and he was co
author with Mark on the
paper presented at the
Conference.
On his impressions of
the Conference, Mark men
tioned that it was different.
He expected alot of ques-

tions which would attack
his theory. To his surprise,
he was given a polite re
ception. Although unpub
lished, the paper is still
quite an accomplishment
for a senior.
Accoridng to Dr.
DiAntonio, Mark mention

a Dr. and a student to do a
joint paper, but the student
is usually a PhD. candi

How did this all come
about? It seemed that Mark
wanted to find out more
about the subject, found a
Prof. willing to undertake
the independent study with
him and succeeded in pull
ing off some original re
search at the same time.

21st the Cultural Programs
