2-15.000 Estimated Attendance Few Incidents Mar Beautiful Day Music Fest Monster " Throngs of people sooth- _ _ ed by music, booze C C grass enjoyed an afternoon HI M .■. and evening of good times at the 1975 Capitol Campus Music Festival on May 17th, sponsored by Good People Productions. Music was provided by eight different groups throughout the day. Other entertainment during the festival ranged from a nude dancer on stage to a rhythm section featuring conga drums and tambourines amidst the crowd of over 12,000 people. Frisbees sailed back and forth through the air while young children frolicked in a nearby stream adjoining the concert site. A large part of the massive crowd became either inebriated or stoned Screwed Again? by M. R. Bless On Friday, May 30th the Pennsylvania State Univer sity Board of Trustees will meet. Among the various points on the agenda is the inclusion of PENN Pirg into the PSU system. This is of major importance to those students associated with the Pirg movement for, if the board approves the Pirg referendum, it will then allow for the collection of Pirg donations during class registration. This will provide the required capital for the hiring of the professional staff, the pur chase of office equipment, and the funds for student research projects. As of this writing the required fifty per cent petitioning of student sig natures for the entire university system has been met, of which well over 900 were submitted from C.C. (At main campus during the initial drive a record 5500 signatures were amassed in three days). However, as one member of the PSU Capitol Campus PENN Pirg ad hoc Committee pointed out, The battle is not won yet. Last year at Pitt, the Pirg Movement was initiat ed, however, although over fifty percent of the student population supported its conception, it was still defeated by the board." As he explained, “the board simply waited until the students left for summer break, then since there was no one on campus to protest, dismissed Pirg.” Interestingly, perhaps we see the same tactic being used at PSU. After all main campus is at this time virtually devoid of student life. We are sure that certain administrators are well aware of the impact that a self-funded legally respon sive student activist move depending on their own inclination. The sweet smell of marijuana pervaded the air and countless empty bottles and cans of beer littered the concert site. Throughout the day, good times were the rule rather than the exception. Roam ing. among the crowd was a sheep, a goat and monkey riding on a dog’s back. Picnic lunches were spread out on blankets and even the aroma of a steak sizzling over a charcoal fire did not escape this writer’s nose. An enterprising entrepre neur set up a table towards the rear of the huge crowd hawking his wares, hand carved pipes. Copies of the ment on campus can have, not only on campus but on the legislators who provide funding for the university. We are not implying that there exists any corruption within either the PSU system or the state legislature, but without mechanisms of' investigation such as PENN Pirg, we, the public, will never know - even adminis trators realize this. Thus PENN Pirg is appealing to any concerned students to attend the board meeting and voice their approval of Pirg. Capitol Campus will be represented by several members of the ad hoc committee. Recently, a student at PSU found herself paying $45.00 for three $l.OO campus parking fines. This seemed outrageous, thus we investi gated. Within a seven day period she received three tickets. Not realizing the grave consequences involved, she waited until the ninth day after the second ticket was issued to pay the fines. However, when she attempt ed to do this, she was told that since the car was not registered in her name, the wheels of bureaucracy had already been set in motion and the district justice was about to earn his $15.00 in court costs (for three tickets.) Although this is in clear violation of the 10 day grace period (for two of the tickets) outlined on the tickets, it was never-the-less impossible to intervene in the system. Hence, $45.00 and another student gets walked on. Much has been written concerning the parking j controversy, however, few i facts have as yet been presented. With this in mind we interviewed Chief Paul and Mr. Dressier. ] continuation p. 2 1 "see Screwed" 1 Fred Prouser HARRISBURG INDEPEN DENT PRESS were distri buted by one intrepid soul, spreading the truth about the Capitol city. As the concert entered its fourth hour, reports of bad drugs circulating in the crowd reached Head Shop, Capitol’s drug and crisis intervention team which assembled especially for the festival. Several cases of THC overdoses were handled at the first aid station with at least one case requiring attention at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. At this point, Head Shop officials consulted with Lower Swatara police and Campus Security on pos sible ways to intervene on the bad drug situation. A decision was reached whereby the alleged pusher would be under surveillance by Head Shop until a ‘buy’ was witnessed. Eventually however, the alleged pusher was escorted off campus Security officials.
