It cost money to print a newspaper. Printing bills,
chemicals and paper for the type-setter, layout sheets,
wax, phone bills, film and photographic paper border
tape and clip art all add up.
Money comes in from two sources, advertising and
funding through the SGA. The SGA allocates only a
portion of the needed money. The rest must come from
our advertisers.
Thus it is important that our advertisers feel that the
students patronize their business. The more business
the campus supplies them, the more willing they are to
continue their ads. We urge you to let the businessmen
know you are from Capitol. When they realize how
many potential customers there are on campus they
will be more willing to advertise.
We hope our financial situation will improve and we
will be able to continue to publish weekly. We have
considered going to a bi-weekly newspaper, but we feel
that we are better able to serve the students through a
weekly newspaper.
So take heart. You can settle down this weekend
with The New York Times and the C.C. Reader.
UP Police Armed
Dr. Edward Eddy, acting
President of the University,
decided Nov. 6 to allow the
arming of 33 Police Service
officers at University Park,
beginning at 11:30 p.m. of that
day.
The decision was made, ac
cording to Eddy, on the idea
that campus police should be
armed instead of an outside
agency who may not be familiar
with patrolling the campus.
University Council, in a
three-hour session Nov. 2, de
cided to recommend arming the
Police Service officers. This
report, along with information
gathered by the Council, was

"spent all of Sunday reading
the report very carefully."
In Eddy's decision, changes
were made from the original
request of David Stormer,
Head of Police Services. Offi
cers may not remove the gun
from the holster in public
places, except for inspection or
in defense of life and only after
other means attempted have
failed.
Police Service officers will
be carrying Smith and Wesson
.38 caliber guns, which will use
only department issued
ammunition. Only six or seven
officers on duty will be carrying
guns at peak times.

Concert Savior
by Lyda Baker
By now the news has sent
shock waves reverberating
throughout the campus. The
suicide rate has rocketed up a
couple of notches.
But alas, what can be done.
Things is as they is folks. The
Spring Concert has been can
ned.
Yet there are underground
movements trying to keep the
concert alive.
All this energy flowing like
a muddy underground spring is
trying to figure out ways to
beat the system and get Capitol
Campus' mock-rock-Woodstock
scene back on the calender.
But. The decree stands. All
the drugs and the drugies, the
alcohol and the alkies, the bike
gangs and the gangsters and
the puke and the pukers have
been buried in the picture al-
Activities Office Move Considered
The Student Activities of
fice is considering the pos
sibility of moving to the Stu
dent Center as part of the effort
to improve the Center.
Randy Goshert, Chairman
of the Social Committee, and
Roberta McLeod, Coordinator
of Student Activities, have
been refurbishing our Student
Center, making it better for the
students and increasing the
number of students who use it.
They moved the lounge to the
front of the Center, put in study
tables, plants, a throw rug, and
ordered drapes. This lounge is
now open for students 24 hours
a day and more improvements
are planned for it.
The game room has been
redesigned also. They have
rebuilt the pool table, made the
air hockey game available, and
ordered a new pinball machine.
Two meetings have taken
place since the publication of
the Reader.
There have been numerous
concerns brought to the atten
tion of the Senate: ITE is doing
a project to study the traffic
problem, they will make re
commendations to the Univer
sity; advertisers are still need
ed for the C.C. Reader; a pencil
sharpener will be placed in
Vendorville; police at Main
Campus are now armed.
You are warned that our
Campus Security are looking
bum past of C.C. PSU.
So what happens now? Will
students have to content them
selves with Tuesday night keg
gers? Maybe a movement per
son will come up from under
and convince someone to show
a movie every once in awhile.
Perhaps some evening some
organization could sponsor a
recital featuring a Gothic har
monica player.
But probably nothing will
happen at all.
We'll all just continue to
hear murmurs about a spring
concert.
By the way, the other day I
was sitting in on a debate
between a couple of candidates
for a senatorial position and the
murmurings generated into a
major type earthquake. The
underground was surfacing.
I tried to steady myself and
The shuffleboard is also being
refinished. Artists will be
painting murals on the walls of
the game room plus game ta
bles will be set up for a series of
board games which were or
dered for the Center, including
Backgammon, Chess, and many
others. The games will be
available for students to check
out. The Activities office is also
updating the juke-box and look
ing into the possibility of set
ting up a snack-bar in the
Center.
According to Roberta
McLeod, if the Activities office
were moved to the Student
Center, many more improve
ments would be possible. To
move the office, however, the
furniture that is stored in the
Center now would have to be
moved into a storage trailer,

"I will unify students and

The unmasses didn't. They

about replacing the concert
with a broader cultural event.

students feel that the Activities
office should remain in the Main
Building to be easily accessible,
especially commuter students
who might not make the effort
to go to the Student Center if
they needed something from
the Activities Office.
Randy and Roberta feel
that, if the Activities office
were in the Student Center, it
would certainly draw more stu
dents to the Center. And more
expensive additions could be
made to the Center since there
would be people there to pro
tect it. The student workers
would be close to the office for
closer supervision and com
munications. The Activities
office could also hold workshops
in the center, for students, and
possibly show films or sponsor
other activities.
