CC Golf Club
Swings
Into Action
by Gene T.
The Capitol Campus Golf
Club, under the supervision
of Coach George Dressler,
began its season last week
by playing York College and
Sheppard College in a
tri-match and Lackawanna
Jr. College in a dual match.
Capitol, playing under ad
verse weather conditions,
lost to York 8 1 / 2 to 12 1 / 2 and
Sheppard 3 1 / 2 to 14 1 / 2 but
rebounded to beat Lacka
wanna 6 1 / 2 to 21/2.
For those of you who are
not familiar with this type of
scoring, the following expla
nation may be helpful. Each
school sends an equal
number of players depend
ing on the number of
schools, that is, one player
from each school per group
and an unlimited number of
groups depending on avail
ability of players.
Instead of keeping count
on the total number of
strokes per 18 holes, a point
system is used per hole.
One point is awarded for the
person or the group who
wins the majority of the first
nine holes, one point is
given for the majority of the
last nine holes, and one
point is awarded for the
winner of the 18th hole. This
means that per group, a total
of 3 pts. is possible (highest)
for 18 holes of golf.
Therefore if you see a total of
6 1 / 2 and 2 1 / 2 , or 9 pts., such
as in the Lackawanna match
above, three players from
each school participated in
the match. This system
might seem a little difficulat
to comprehend at first, but it
is much easier to keep track
of later on.
The Golf Club consists of
17 players and is coached by
George Dressler. The
members are: Bill Patrick,
Frank Deyo, Keith Hutton,
Richard McNei I le, Bob
Updegrove, John Klock,
James Kicinski, Bob Pugh,
Paul Heintzman, Willian
Butch, Steve Peters, Mike
McMasters, Rick Miller, Joe
DeFazio, Dave Werner, Mark
Feldman, and Stan Keinosky.
All of the Capitol Campus
Eddy
home matches are played on
Hershey Parkview Golf
Course, which is a pretty
challenging par 71 course.
The longest hole is a tricky
par five, 515 yards long. In
order to make the traveling
squad, the members had a
four-day-period to record
their best score at the
Sunset Golf Course, which
in this writer's opinion, is
usually beset with bad lies
and unusually rough terrain.
Coach Dressler believes that
this is due to a lack of
topsoil needed for reseeding
the fairways and roughs.
Although the season is
still young, Coach Dressler
is optimistic about the
season and the chances of
the Golf Club, noting that it
is still too early to make any
predictions. Upcoming
matches for the Golf Club
include: Valley Forge Jr.
College on Wednesday, April
16th (A), York College and
W. Maryland on Monday,
April 21st (A) and Schuykill
Campus on Tuesday, April
22nd

Course On
Problem-
Solving
Proposed
Dr. J. Maynard, based on his
experience gained in attending
an AAAS-NSF Chautauqua-
Type Short Course for College
Teachers, desires to give a
campus-wide course on
"Patterns of
PROBLEM SOLVING"
A course of this type is gaining
wide acceptance in many
campuses and details of the
course as given at UCLA are
enclosed for your information.
I have requested Dr. Maynard
to make a presentation on the
objectives of this course and he
agreed to undertake this
sometime in the beginning of
Fall 1975. In the meantime I
would
. appreciate it if the
Academic Affairs Committee
at Capitol considers this at one
of its meeting.
Dr. Maynard and I would be
glad to be present to answer
any questions the Committee
might want to ask. I think a
course of this nature would
immensely help the entire
student community at Capitol.

PATTERNS OF PROBLEM
SOLVING discusses tools and
concepts most productive in
problem solving and least
likely to be eroded with the
passage of time. A balance is
sought between modeling
techniques and attributes of
human problem solvers.
Problem solving is presented
as a dynamic process, en
compassing diverse academic
disciplines. Primary ob
jectives of the presentation
E are
- Develop a general foun
dation for problem solving
- Discuss specific classes of
problem solving technique

Student Traffic
Court Policies
Because of numerous questions on the procedures of the Student
Traffic Court, a set of policies has been established by the Chief
Justice, Chief of Security, and Dean of Student Affairs. The
policies will be posted in the glass case across the hall from the
Student Affairs Office and are also being published for the widest
possible dissemination.
The Policies of the Student Traffic Court are as follows:
POLICY OF STUDENT
TRAFFIC COURT
1. Any student who things he has been ticketed unfairly has the
right to appeal his violation to the Student Standards Board
(Student Court). An appeal is filed by filling out an appeal form at
the Security Office in the Placement Building.
2. If a defendant does appeal within two (2) business days of the
violation, as required by the motor vehicle regulations, he has one
week to make an appointment in the Student Affairs Office (W
-103) to have his appeal tieard by the Student Court. If he fails to
make an appointment he forfeits the right of a hearing by the
Court.
3. When an appointment is made, it must be scheduled for a time
during the next two weeks. If he fails to meet this requirement, or
fails to appear for the appointment (except in extreme
emergency), he loses his right to appeal to the Court.
4. The Court will meet upon dates designated by the Chief Justice
to the Student Affairs Office and Security Office.
5. An appeal may be heard on the information provided. However,
the presence of the defendant is advisable. In some cases, the
presence of the issuing officer may be required. The Court may
reschedule a hearing once, if either of the parties cannot be
present at the scheduled hearing time.
6. Any member of the Court will disqualify himself if he thinks his
decision could be influenced by personal relationships with the
defendant. The defendant may also challenge a justice for the
above reason.
7. If a defendant acts in a contemptible manner during a
proceeding, he must be reminded that this may affect the Court's
decision
8. The possible decisions of this Court are as follows
A. Find defendant guilty
B. Find defendant not guilty
1. Uphold fine,
2. Reduce or suspend fine
9. The decision of the Court is final
10. A formal decision will be recorded, written, and mailed to the
defendant after each Coort decision has been made.
11. If a defendant can prove to the Chief Justice that there is ad
ditional evidence that may have a substantial bearing on the
decision, the Court, by an unanimous vote, can declare that a re
appeal will be held no later than the next Court proceedings, ex
cepting in extreme emergency.
12. Each case will become a precedent in itself. Precedence can be
changed and-or revised by the Court during future cases.
13. This policy remains in effect until such a time as the Court
deems necessary to make revisions. The Court reserves the right
to make such revisions by majority vote with the concurrence of
the security officer and the Director of Student Affairs.
All policies will be strictly enforced and are effective the
beginning of the Spring Term, 1975.

Learn About
A film on "Breast Lancer -
Causes, Detection and
Precautions," will be shown
in the auditorium at Penn
State-Capitol Campus in
Middletown at 12:00 noon on
Thursday, April 24.
In addition, a lecture
given by Dr. Elliot M.
Badder will immediately
follow the film. Dr. Badder
is assistant professor of
surgery at The Milton S.
Hershey Medical Center.
A native of Philadelphia
and graduate of Thomas
Jefferson Medical School,
Dr. Badden joined the
faculty at the Hershey
Medical Center in 1974.
Prior to that he was chief of
surgery at a regional
Breast Cancer
hospital in Adana, Turkey.
According to a
spokesperson for the
American Cancer Society,
which distributes the film,
the increased concern with
breast cancer has placed the
film in great demand.
