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

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."
Chingis Khan

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.

Since enough couples paid the $lO deposit in time, the
fraternity Dinner Dance will be held. Once again, it will be at the
Yellow Breeches Motor Inn on February 15. I hope to see you
there!
Did you get your Vets' Newsletter yet? The Veteran's
Coordinator, Larry Rohrbach, says that this term's issue is in the
mail. Tentative plans are for one letter per term.
The 1975 fraternity roster is out! Frat members can pick up their
copy in the lounge. The list has, in addition to the address, phone
numbers of members--so if you should want to make an obscene
phone call, now you don't have to look in the phone book
anymore!!
The latest from the XGI Moving Co.--Edna Keister's move from
New Cumberland to M-town was expertly handled. Edna provided
a barbacue, vegetable soup, and beer for the movers. We hope
they didn't break too many things! At least "Mad Dog" didn't
break anything-he slept on the couch the whole time!!
Another plug for the GPP "Casino Night"! The XGl's will be
there--so we hope you show up to do some business!
In sports, the XGI bowling team standing as of last Friday was
10 wins and 10 losses. The basketball team will be playing the
Foul Balls on Monday, Feb. 10 at 7PM. Why not go and show
some supportzo
Future meetings at the Tilton Hilton in Highspire will be Feb. 18
and March 11, starting at 9 PM each night. We would like to see a
good turnout of members--its election time!!
