Page 2 Welcome "Hey Mo, you've got to write that editorial welcoming the new students to Capitol." "Yea Jim, I know. I've been thinking about for a couple of days and I haven't come up with anything." "Well, we should say something about all the questions a new student asks himself. Will that sexy Roxanne sitting next to me in BUS 300 save the last dance for me at Friday night's Keggar? Will my room-mate keep his dirty laundry bag next to my bed all term? Will my CHEM 201 class be moved again without my prof notifying me? Will I be able to invent another excuse to get out of that sixth parking ticket Officer Paul stuck under my wiper blade?" "But those are only a few of the questions a new student must ask himself. Something else to consider is how to spend their free time." "With over thirty clubs and organizations on campus, it shouldn't be much of a problem." "And when they've answered all of these questions, and some serious studying has begun, each person will find his own place at Capitol." "I guess what we really ought to say is WELCOME TO CAPITOL CAMPUS." Give It A Try By Raady Myers Have you got a recipe for munchies that go with beer like music goes with parties? Did you read a book that you've got to tell somebody about? How about that movie you caught last week--shouldn't you warn the rest of the world? You can do one or all of the above and at no cost to you! The C.C. Reader needs students who want more out of college than exams and term papers. The Reader wants students who are willing to share the Chesler Exhibits Middletown--Donna Chesler will display "Portrait of the Professional Firefighter" in the Gallery Lounge at Penn State Capitol Campus through Sat., Oct. 7.

The function of "Helpline" will be to gather information from community agencies, organize the information into a referral system, and make them avail able to you by dialing 944-5997 between 6:00 pm and 12:00 pm, Monday through Friday. This line is run by student volunteers from Capitol Cam pus. The questions asked and the information provided are kept totally confidential. The line will be able to provide information on a var iety of programs, agencies, and services in the area. For ex ample, Project Helpline is equipted to handle questions about: T.V. Guide information, abortions, legal services and school problems, to mention a few. Please take full advantage of our services. The line will be in full operation starting Mon day, September 25. Get Involved During the summer break, student leaders met to discuss problems and plan activities for the coming year. Their attitudes were hopeful yet skeptical. You see, the problem on campus is not too many chiefs and not enough Indians ; the problem is not enough chiefs, not enough Indians, and too many complainers. Capitol is a suitcase campus. Friday at about 3 pm a mass exodus takes place. The handful of students remaining sit around, watch TV, drink beer, and look forward to next Tuesday night's Keggar. What student leaders would like to do this year is plan more interesting activities for the weekends so that students will stay on campus, especially since the Spring Concert had to be cancelled. These goals cannot be reached unless there is cooperation from the whole campus community. Join and be active in one of the many student clubs and organizations on campus. These are the people who plan and sponsor the activities. Don't sit back and complain. Nothing will happen until you get out of your easy chair and participate. Action is much more satisfying than complain ing. We'd be interested in hearing what you think about the campus life here at Capitol. We'd also like to hear some suggestions you have for improving the campus life. Drop us a note in our mailbox in the SGA office (W-110) or at the C.C. Reader office in W-129. Remember, the success of this year's campus activities depends upon you. Is This The Year? This is the year that will be. What it will be is entirely up to the students. The more you are involved, the more that you share your ideas, the more that you express your desires the better the Student Government Association will be able to represent you and establish a worthwhile student activities program. How can you let SGA know what your desires and ideas are? Well, it is relatively sim ple. You can stop in at the SGA office in W-110, call us at 787-1663, or talk to your SGA Representative (whose photo is outside the SGA office in the glass case). You can make use of the suggestion box located in Vendorville, or you can come to a SGA meeting and speak out during General Concerns of the Student Body. The first SGA meeting will be held in Tuesday September 26 at 6:00 p.m. in room 216. The Junior and Graduate elections will be held on Friday, October 27. If you are inter ested in running for one of these positions, you can pick up a petition in the SGA office beginning October 2. There are many student and faculty committees in need of student representatives. If you are interested in serving on any of these committees, please stop in the SGA office for more information. Last spring the 1978-79 Student Government Associa tion voted to operate under a philosophy that can be stated in two words: communication and facilitation. The SGA members want to increase student and SGA communication, and suc cessfully tackle problems that confront Capitol Campus and the Capitol Campus Communi ty. Overall, the SGA's attitude September 21, 1978 is one that desires honesty, openness and trust, and a sin cere commitment to help the students. It is for this reason that the SGA needs to know what you, the student, think and feel about different issues that come up during the course of the year. So do not hesitate to approach any of the SGA Officers and Senators and dis cuss with them any problems or conflicts that you may experi ence while a student here at Capitol Campus. Our main goal is to have a cohesive and influential relationship between students and administration and faculty. This is the duty of the SGA, and we would like to organize, and accurately repre sent the student body. So please help the SGA in our mission for 1978-79 by becom ing involved with the student activities program and the campus life in general. On behalf of the SGA, I would like to wish you the best of luck in your studies this year and I hope that you have an enjoyable time here at Penn State Capitol Campus. Sincerely, Craig R.
