Page 2 P dives Page EDITORIAL leder Team The drugstores may be out of cough syrup, and the auto stores maybe out of dry gas, but Capitol Campus is not out of things to do in your off time. The new multi-purpose building offers many activities to partake in while the frigid weather lasts. See the Rec/Ath article for further details of what this fine new facility has to offer. Speaking of the gym, our Capitol Campus basketball team played a rousing game against York College Tuesday night. Capitol led most of the game, but York managed to sink 14 out of 16 baskets from the foul line to edge out the Lions 73-67. The near-capacity crowd at the game did much to add to the exciting atmosphere. As one spectator remarked, "It sure beats the average of eight (8) who used to show up last year." Admission is free, and It's a nice way to spend an evening. The lions play Lancaster Bible College tonite at 8 P.M in the gym. For those of you who were not here last term, students at Capitol organized a statewide rally last November 15th. Many believe it was instrumental in passing legislation to help fund the state-related colleges and universities. Staff writer Sandy Stern has a follow-up article on the funding and what effects it may have on our pocketbooks, and the university's services. Winter term also starts the beginning of a gubernatorial election year in Pennsylvania. Staffer Frank Lynch starts a series of articles in this issue designed to inform and entertain us on the candidates we must choose from in the fall. For those of us inclined to more sedentary pleasures, the Social Committee is sponsoring a film in the Gallery Lounge tonne. Attendance is critical to the success of this program. Organizers of the event remarked that if enough people turn out, they will raise enough money to rent a real "blockbuster" movie for the Spring. For the creative or lust plain curious among us, both the newspaper and yearbook need contributors. Stop by W-129 on Monday's at 3:30 p.m. for the READER and Thursday's at 3:30p.m. for the CAMTOLITE staff meeting. And lest we forget, TARNHELM, the campus literary magazine, publishes .soon. Stop in the SGA Offices and ask for Greg Hall for information. But if the weather just turns too frigid, and all you want to do is drink Tequila and watch SEARCH FOR TOMORROW instead of taking that long hike to the main building for an eight o'clock class, don't panic. You can get information about classes on days that there is severe weather by calling the Weather Day Center at [7l7] 787-7737. If your classes are cancelled the center should know. Also you can call the individual professor's office. - Capitol Campus Reader of the Pennsylvania State University The Capitol Campus RTE. 230, Middletown, Pa., 17057 Office W-129-131 Phone (717) 944-4970 !Editors-In-Chief Copy Editor /Arts Editor Greg Hal Peggy Hartzel, Rick Haythomthwaite, Nell Landis, Jim Musselinen Randy Myers, John Stachowlak, Sandy Stern anaper tan The Capitol Campus Reader is the school newspaper of Penn State's Capitol Campus. It is published by the students who attend this school. We of the Reader Staff try to accurately represent the voice of the students, and keep them informed as to current events and relevant issues. We are palliated to a weedy basis. Business end Advertising This is in response to the . NOW BULLETIN of Amulen Howell. Her support of ERAis replete with obfuscation and misrepresentation. ERA will add very little in the way of protection• for women with dependent children, divorced women, and senior women and' it will eliminate protection for women in industrial jobs etc. It is simplistic _or dishonest of Ms. Howell to assure that if ERA is passed there will not be an orgy of lawsuits in which the absolute distinction between men and women is not obliterated. Of course homo sexual marriages will be legalized; of course churches which will not perform them will have their tax exemptions removed; of course someone (ala Madeline O'Hair) will bring suit against separate public rest rooms on "constitutional" grounds; of course, father and son banquets will be outlawed! ERA is the project of feminist extremists and lesbian elitists who consider the family outmoded and who wish to "turn American society upside down" regardless of the bland assurances of Ms. Howell to the contrary.

Reader LETTERS EDITOR Sincerely, Ms. Jane Richards Student Government Notebook By David Nikoloff SGA Senator The new year brings with it many of the same problems that we had in the Fall Term and a few new ones. Some of us hope we can do something to change things around here, but •just like before you have to help. Here is a list of things to expect or hope for in the next few months: 1. Tuition increases in the Spring Term that are certainly influenced by the budget hassle in Harrisburg. 2. A spring concert worth the expenditure of money and the time of student volunteers needed to make it a success. 3. Spring SGA elections for Senior Senators and Executive Officers. 4. Club sponsored events that amount to something more than social gatherings. As a service to help those students who are considering going to graduate school, the Counseling Center will periodically publish in the C.C. Reader the registration deadlines and testing dates for the up-coming graduate and professional school admission examinations. Study guides, graduate school information (catalogs for approximately 1000 schools), cross-references and Indexes are available on a two-week loan basis for students who are researching their graduate school and program choices. Counselors are available to assist in this process. Applications for all the tests listed below are available in the Counseling Center, W-117.

Of course this is just a partial list. There are a great many things that students can do if they try. The 'Pass the Buck' rally is a good example of students working together to achieve a goal. It takes time, effort, and planning to pull off something of that magnitude.
