PAGE 2 Letters To The Editor DEAR C.C.READER In the past, the Capitol Campus administration has won student recognition for the following achievements: Burned food at the Dining Hall, Inadequate maid service in the dorms and post-60's police harassment at the hands of the Campus Security. But the administration feels this is not enough. They feel something more should be done to the student. Well, on February Ist that something was done. As everyone knows, weekends here at Capitol stimulate the advancement of the academic and physical well being of the student. With weather conditions prohibiting outdoor activities, the base gym is a pleasant alternative to doing nothing. On Saturday, February Ist, rather than do nothing, several people from various I. M. Basketball teams met to practice at the gym. To our surprise, in mid-afternoon it was locked. Well, our first thought was to stop over the Athletic Building to see Mr. Smitley to pick up the keys. On proceeding to the Athletic Building, we discovered that it too, was locked. We stood there wondering, "Why would this be locked?", especially when a lot of people like to work out on weeekends. Well, we decided to see security, thinking they could solve our problem. Boy, were we surprised to see the Security Building locked just as tight. Our adventures then led us up to the Main Building in an effort to find someone in charge and with the keys to the Base Gym. We ran into a member of Globe Security. We told him of our dilemma and asked him if he could help. That was our biggest mistake. He told us the only way we could get in was to get written permission from a faculty member. We thought this was a very unusual procedure, but since we had intentions of playing basketball, we went to see Terri Turnbaugh. He too wondered about . this procedure. So with written permission we went back to Globe Security. Since there was a different guard we had to re-explain the situation. He told us that he had no authority, not did he have the keys. So the story ends here, we never did get to play basketball and we spent over an hour "running around and being led". The administration wonders why many students go home during the weekends? This is a typical Capitol Campus weekend. MEDI OCRITY IN ACTION.And as weekend students, we were appalled by the lack of consideration to hear our problem and the lack of security if an emergency situation ever arose. So to the Administration we say "CONGRATULATIONS" on a job well done - TO US. Sincerely yours, The Court Jesters 3rd Floor Wrisberg Hall Who's Chingis Khan? DEAR EDITOR: Why the Hell do you want to know who I am? If what I have written is so unjust or untrue, or a combination of the two, I challenge anyone to come forward with facts, information, and/or an interpretation which can rationally dispute my analysis of Capitol Campus. Do you expect the great Chingis Khan to humble himself to the regulations of barbarians? It is my opinion, as of this moment, that the editors of the CC READERhave finally reached their appointed levels of incompetence, i.e., they have conformed to the stupidity requirements of Pennsylvania State University. Before answering these questions remember the vengeance of the Golden Horde is swift and invincible-resist no more the Will of the Khan. Signed, Chingis Khan In case your interest Is of an intuitive nature and not vindictive, here is but another piercing piece of the puzzle of my identity: P.S.-"!n the past few years, in conception, in carry-through, in the very physical act of consummation, everything I've done has brought me joy, mystical ectasy, blood pleasure."

READER Meet Dr. McKenna by Joseph Minnici Actually Dr. C. K. McKenna is not new to the faculty of Capitol Campus. However, most students are probably unaquainted with him. Thus I have in cluded Dr. McKenna in my faculty faces column. Dr. McKenna came to Capitol in 1971 as a profes sor in the Graduate Public Administration Program and also in the Business Program on both the grad uate and undergraduate level. Asked what his thoughts on Capitol are, he replied, "The composition of the student body consisting of a high percentage of Veter ans and people returning to school after an interruption of years, helps to give the campus a flavor of maturity and at the same time keeps open many options for growth. The general make up of the student body makes Capitol a very special place within the mission of the university." At lona College he re ceived his bachelor degree. Dr. McKenna holds master degrees in Math and Oper ations Research which he received at Notre Dame and New York University. In 1971 at N.Y.University he completed work in Oper ations Research for his PhD. Professor McKenna taught high school at Chicago from 1961-65. He was coach of the swim ming team and moderator of the cheerleaders. In 1965 Dr.McKenna moved back to New York City, where he was originally from. Before coming to Capitol Campus, Dr. McKenna taught at lona College in the Math Department and the Graduate School of Business. Presently he teaches Business 382 which is a second course in statistics. Currently Dr. McKenna is working with an undergrad uate here on a book which will explain how to beat the point spread on betting in the National Football League. It's an interesting application of statistics, to say the least. BEST DEAL IN STUDENT APARTMENTS 424 Waipelani Dr., State College....
