That’s right, George Dud
ek and several of his friends
pooled their winnings to pay
off a bid of $750,000 for one
case of Miller High Life Beer
during the auction at Casino
Night, Tuesday evening. Of
course it was only play
money, but it was $75 worth
of play money.
Students entering the
Student Center paid one
dollar for ten $lOOO bills of
Casino money and were
turned loose into a room
where “Lady Luck” reigned
supreme. Not all booths,
however, required skill and
luck.
The Orgasmatron and
Kissing Booth sponsored by
WZAP and run by Arch
D’Allura and the Cheerlead
ers required money only.
$lOOO paid for a hand
shake. $2OOO bought a kiss
on the cheek. $3OOO got you
a kiss on the lips.
Another $2OOO entitled you
to enter the orgasmatron, a
large box-like structure with
music and flashing lights
inside and out. Those who
entered came out with a
large red kiss on their face.

The February 26th SGA
meeting was dominated by
discussion of the Black Arts
Festival, scheduled for the
week of April 4-10.
A motion to lower the
$1,200 allotted for the
festival brought protests
from Roberta McLeod, co
ordinator of student activi
ties. She said she felt the
festival was necessary to
show the positive side of
blackness in America.
Programs included in the
Black Arts Festival are
gospel music, history, poli
tics, business and educa
tion, dance and theatre. An
evening of jazz with the
Latent Image and the Third
Stream will also be included.
The president of the
Black Student Union, Troy
Buster, said“ There will be
something for everyone at
the festival. The goal of the
festival is to bring people
together.”
After much discussion,
the budget remained at
$1,200.
The next issue was a
request for $4OO to cover the
cost of P.S.P.E.’s Keggar.
The allocation was voted on
and approved.
Kissing Booth, a craps game
called “Beat The House” was
in progress, run by members
of the Aviation Club who
were raking in money
hand-over-fist.
The XGl’s had three
booths—craps, seven card
stud and black jack-all
seemed to be doing well.
Troy Buster operated the
Black Student Union’s booth
of “Scrabble Pokino”, and
the Resident Student
Council operated a Bingo
game .that did sporadic
business all night.
Disaster almost struck
PSPE’s “Rat Race” when a
mouse decided it was fed up
with running a track all night
and tried to escape across th
the floor. Fortunately it was
not a crushing experience.
The mice were auctioned at
the end of the evening.
The Meade Heights Board
of Governors had two
booths, one called E-Z Spin
and the other, Balls and
Balloons. Both were doing
brisk business most of the
night.
The busiest booth was run
by the Grand Wazoo.
Students spent money like
crazy trying to Win at the
"Wheel of Fortune” and
craps.
At 9:30 p.m. a drawing for
the first “basket of cheer”
took place with Dean Wolf
doing the honors by drawing
the ticket. The first lucky
winner was Jack Henry, SGA
Treasurer. The second draw
ing took place at 10:40 p.m.
with Jim Butts, EDET senior,
winning the basket.
The highlight of the even
ing was the belly dancer
performance by Nadia. Scott
Deardorf tried to dance with
Roberta McLeod, Ron Knott
with Marian Krieger, and
Terry Stoyek with Yvonne
Milspaw under the direction
of the great Nadia.
Frank Loscalzo, a senior
in Mechanical Engineering,
had the fortunate or unfort
unate experience of being all
alone on the stage while
being enticed by Nadia.
If craps wasn’t your bag,
ITE had a wheel of fortune
and a five and seven card
stud card game to play. It
seemed the stud game was
the more popular of the two
because several students
playing had a large stack of
money in front of them.
Standing at the SGA
booths of roulette and
chuck-a-luck was a funny
looking dude with blond hair
and wire-rimmed glasses
wearing a green dealer’s hat
with suspenders holding up
his drawers.
This dude ran the Roulette
wheel and seemed to know
what he was doing because
the wheel came up with
green zero’s twice in
succession, .much to the
dismay of those who had
placed their bets with loving

Practice Makes
Perfect

There comes a time when
all things must end;
including college. However,
inherent in the end of college
is the forbidding challenge
of putting classroom theory
into real world practice.
Here at Capitol, students
are offered internship pro
grams to acquire practical
experience in their field of
study.
Education majors undergo
a basic preparation program
which provides small group
and full class experience,
dinatorof the Multi-Media
Journalism Program
according to Dr. Stanley
Miller, program chairman.
This takes place during
three weeks of each term of
the junior year.
Miller said the program
not only gives the student
valuable practical experience
but also serves as a method
of early screening for those
who may not be suited for
teaching.
During these three weeks,
the prospective teacher is
observed—ideally once a
week—by the faculty to
discover and rectify prob-
lems and needs. This
classroom experience serves
to make the teaching term
more rewarding if not more
comfortable.
Dan Kelly, presently a
student teacher, said of the
program, “I think a lot of
people will criticize specific
elements and instructors of
the program. But, person
ally, I feel that if you look at
the program in total, it is far
better than most. And you
can’t find a better faculty.”
The Social Science de
partment offers two basic
types of programs-the Hu
man Services Work-Study
and Urban Term-headed by
program chairman Dr. Mast
ers.
While both are extensive,
they are structured differ
ently.
The Human Services Work-
Study system is designed for
juniors, seniors and gradu
ate students who wish to
gain experience working in a
social service agency, a
government office or the
state legislature.
According to Masters, it
enables the student to test a
potential career, to gain
work experience before
graduation, to put previously
gained knowledge to work,
to focus on a single area of
study and to develop
confidence in the ability to
apply knowledge and work
effectively with others..
It is required that the
student work for approxi
mately 100 to 160 hours in an
agency or office, develop a
reading program in conjunc
tion with the agency
