Growing:
A Little At A Time
Capitol Campus is growing and
expanding. Incoming research grant
money has increased six-fold over the
past few years. Equipment for a
complete color T.V. studio for the
Multi-Media Journalism program has
been purchased. The building which
formerly was occupied by the Lower
Swatara Township will be the future
Surveying Lab. And the potential is
there for a bigger and better computer
facility when the University's old con
tract expires in March.
But Capitol Campus does have
internal restrictions to deal with before
these plans for growth become a
Project
Positions
Project Helpline has positions ava
ilable for project volunteers for the fall
1978 term due to the large amount of
interest in the program during the first
few weeks of the operation.
If you are interested in filling one of
these positions, you can call the Help
line office, 944-5997, between 6-12 pm,
Monday through Friday. People can
sign up for interviews until Oct. 25.
Project Helpline is a telephone
information and referral line. The
program was designed to provide the
campus community with information
about programs, events and commun
ity services.
Helpline can provide with informa-
C.C. Read
reality. How much money is needed?
Who decides how the money is spent?
Space is another reoccuring problem at
Capitol. Is there room for expansion?
These are some of the questions the
C.C. Reader will be exploring in the
upcoming series entitled "Growing: A
Little at a Time".
The series will also attempt to give
insight into how these changes will
effect the student body and faculty of
Capitol Campus. Who will benefit from
these expansions?
You'll have to pick up next week's
edition of the C.C. Reader for the first
article in the series to find the answers
to these and other questions.
Helpline
Available
tion on numerous topics of interest. For
example: train/bus schedules, where to

versity Park programs, cultural events

Helpline is a new program that is
continually gathering information. If
sometime during the year you visit a
place of interest (restaurant, bar, club
or cultural event) that you particularly
enjoyed, please call Helpline so that
this information can be added to its
files.
This program was designed to
serve the campus population. Please

Candidates
Discuss Issues
Three political candidates attended
a question and answer session held by
the Young Democrats on Tuesday
afternoon in Vendorville. Raj Komar of
the 19th Congressional District, Rich
ard Sandler of the 87th Legislative
District, and Bob Sodis of the 88th
Legislative District were in attend
ance. Stephen Reed, an incumbent
from the 103rd Legislative District
could not attend.
The session began with each can
didate giving a short five-minute
speech.
Sandler, who represents North
eastern Cumberland County, stressed
ethics legislation and full accountability
to the public. He went on to say that he
would like to expand on the Sunshine
Laws.
Bob Sodis, whose district includes
Carlise and Mechanicsburg, stressed
the need to extend the powers of the
Consumer Advocates Board. He also
added that due to the facts brought out
by the Philadelphia Inquirer series on
political corruption in Harrisburg, the
Dr. Herbert Hunter's lecture entitled "Rediscover Oliver Cox" was sponsored by
the Black Student Union on Tuesday, October 17. The lecture focused on Dr.
Oliver Cox's "Caste, Class and Race."
Weekend
If you're hoping to get out this weekend to enjoy the fall scenery, you're in luck.
The. National Weather Bureau in Harrisburg predicts pleasant weather for this
weekend. No rain is in the forecast and the day time highs will be in the upper 60's
or low 70's. The overnight lows should be in the 40's.
October 19, 1978
citizens of Pennsylvania should strive
to clean house by voting all incumbents
out of office unless they did an ex
ceptional job while in office.
Raj Komar, who is fighting for a
seat in the United States House of
Representatives, warned the students
in attendance that a counter movement
will take place against the Proposition
13 legislation. According to Komar,
chaos will occur if this legislation is
passed.
After each candidate gave his
speech, a 45-minute question/answer
session began.
When asked about the lowering of
the legal drinking age to 19 years of
age, all candidates replied that they
would favor this legislation if the
statistics for drunken driving in this
age group would not be effected.
When asked about legislation for
the decriminalization of marijuana, all
candidates again said that they would
decriminalize possession of marijuana,
but they were not in favor of legalizing
it.
