EDITORIAL
This Is Your Newspaper
In this first editorial of the year, it seems
appropriate to tell our readers about us. The C.C.
Reader is a student newspaper run by students for
students and the entire Capitol Campus community.
Our primary goal is to produce for you the best
possible newspaper by informing and entertaining
you. We also hope to do some analytical and
interpretive reporting to bring to your attention
problems, situations and viewpoints.
We provide practical newspaper experience for
journalism majors and students in other areas
interested in any facet of journalism, as well as
creative writing.
For those of you who were here last year, our
office is no longer in W-110. We’ve moved to W-129,
next to the Counseling Center.
We will have regular office hours this year which
we will be posting on our door.
A new feature added this year is the faculty
column. We hope faculty participation will make
this a regular part of the Reader pages.
We will be publishing just about every other week
during this year. Our fall term schedule is also
posted on our door.
Remember this is your newspaper. Have a good
year.
Greetings From The Provost
On behalf of the faculty and administration, allow me to
extend to you a sincere welcome to the Penn
State-Capitol Campus and every wish for success and
fulfillment in your academic pursuits.
The undergraduate programs of the Capitol Campus are
an educational experiment. They are conceived to provide
the relatively easy transfer of students from two-year
institutions to baccalaureate programs in the
Pennsylvania State University system. While differing in
many ways from degrees at the University Park Campus,
your instruction, courses and anticipated degree will be of
the same high quality. You have become a part of a
unique insitution. Capitol Campus has no other
counterpart in the state of Pennsylvania, and there are
only 25 senior level institutions in the nation.
Capitol Campus is an on-going experiment designed for
your benefit. Your input and involvement is most
welcome to ensure the success of this experiment, and to
provide continuing evolution compatible with the
changing needs of our students and society.

An Open Letter
To Chauvinist Men
The most universal reform
movement in America is the
campaign to bring about the
political, economic, and
social equality of women.
Many chauvinist males have
responded to the women’s
movement in an emotional
manner. A number of them
have labeled the drive for
women’s rights as danger
ously radical. It is hoped
that sober reflection will lead
to a better understanding of
the chauvinist’s plight and a
greater appreciation of the
meaning of equality of the
sexes.
The women’s movement is
pervasive. From the moment
the chauvinist comes into
contact with emancipated
women, he is engaged in
conflict between his tradi
tional stereotypes of women
and newly defined roles for
women in American society.
Every day he must make
conscious decisions regard
ing his dealings with
women. Should he be
unbearable, compromise
and hence pretend to be
liberal, or merely hope that it
will all go away. But it
doesn’t go away. The
confrontation is incessant.
Emotionally the chauvinist
responds to this ever
growing chorus of women.
Why don’t they leave me
alone? What are they up to?

The editors and staff of
The C.C. Reader welcome

The Pennsylvania State
University continues its
policy of non-discrimi
nation on the basis of sex
in compliance with Title
IX of the Education
Amendment of 1972 in all
activities and programs
under its sponsorship. In
addition, the University
administers all actions
without regard to race,
creed, color, national
origin, and age or
handicap as defined by
law. These policies apply
to application and select
ion for admission as well
as application for em
ployment and all other
personnel actions with
the University.
By Lemuel Molovinsky
Confused and frightened, he
looks for a scapegoat. It is a
communist plot or fascist
plot (take your pick) which
will destroy American soci
ety.
The chauvinist forgets that
while he is at work pursuing
a meaningful career, his wife
or girlfriend (take your
choice) is supposed to be
content with her material
well-being at home or at
some inconsequential low- 1
paying job. But many
women have looked beyond
this rather limited perimeter
to seek out a more
meaningful life. More
confused than ever, our
chauvinist retreats even,
further into his work. Yet he
has also discovered that
women have come to
challenge not only his
private life, but also his pre
eminence at work. Martyr
dom.
Appalled with this cruel
turn of events, he labels the
women responsible for this
new order as radicals.
Whom does he consider the
radicals? They are women
who proclaim that some
thing is wrong with society,
call for change, and demand
an end to their oppression.
The chauvinist argues that
there is nothing the matter
with American society, that
we should leave things as
Announced
The tests will be given at
nearly 400 locations
throughout the United
States, ETS said.
Results of the National
Teacher Examinations are
used by many large school
districts as one of several
factors in the selection of
new teachers and by several
states for certification or
licensing of teachers. Some
colleges also require all
seniors preparing to teach to
take the examinations.
The Bulletin of Informa
tion for Candidates contains
a list of test centers, and
general information about
the examinations, as well as
a Registration Form.
Applications for the
N.T.E. are available in the
Counseling Center-Room
WH7-next to the Gallery
Lounge.

they are, and that women are
not oppressed. But many
women contend there is
something wrong with a
society which proclaims
equality under the law, yet
denies women the same
access to all occupational,
economic, and social re
wards of the system that
men have. Women demand
change from an oppressive
system.
As inconvenient and pain
ful as it may be for the
chauvinist, women now
demand full equality as
human beings. Are chauvi
nists willing to proclaim that
they believe in the inherent
inequality of women, or that
women are inferior to men?
Or is it that chauvinists are
afraid to say women in our
society are their equals? It
all seems so logical
equality that is-yet the fight
goes on. Afraid to say God
created us in h|s image, all
different, but all equal in his
eyes. Why not in ours?
