Pennsylvania State University at Capitol Campus ■■
Vol. 8 No. 13
Students
demand
TMI refund
The recent closing of Capitol
Campus, in response to the
emergency at Three Mile Isl
and, nas raised several ques
tions. On-campus students are
asking whether there will be a
refund forthcoming covering
the period when services were
unavailable to them.
Students who have part
time jobs on campus are con
cerned about their loss of earn
ings during that week.
Those people who had to
make unplanned, long distance
trips home have expressed the
hope that traveling expenses
would be reimbursed.
Dr. Jerry South, Director of
Student Affairs, said “The ad
ministration of Capitol Campus
is very much aware of students’
interest in housing and food
service fees.” In the hope of
resolving this difficulty, John
Taylor, Finance Officer at Cap
itol Campus, attended a meet-
by Joan H. Klein
ing at University Park on April
11th and 12th. A decision on
this matter by senior members
of the university administration
is anticipated and an announce
ment is expected in the immed
iate future.
The outlook is less hopeful
for students who have part
time campus employment.
Work hours are not guaranteed
and employees are called to
work as needed. Since no help
was needed, students can only
hope they will be able to get
some work hours on those days
designated for “make-up.”
Reimbursement of out-of
pocket traveling costs will not
be made by the University.
Dr. South suggested interested
students contact American Nu
clear Insurers, the company
insuring Metropolitan Edison
Co.. The telephone number of
their special claims office in
Harrisburg is 233-9021
