The Renaissance is coming to Capitol Campus!
Is this the Renaissance? Two concert and one recital for the entire
year. All performers and their conductor were tremendous. Under the
auspices of the Humanities Department, we were able to hear a sample of
singing and playing talent that abound in the school. Well done!!
But what about the theatre? Where are the dramas? Where are the
Charity shows that students love to participate in? Where are the poetry
readings? Where are our painters and potters and sculptors that would
surely like to show their skills?
What about the debating teams for future politicians? What about
anything that involves the participation of students and their talents-and
faculty members and their talents?
Since when did a University not have a play produced yearly, and the
house completely packed with all the friends and relatives cheering the
players on?
College years are experimental; this is the time to develop ideas, try
Winner 5.....................................
John Taylor for successfully attaining TMI refunds for resident students.
The administration for banning keggers. Hopefully a wide variety of
activities will be the case from now on instead on the ole Tuesday
nighters.
.......................................Sinners
Dr. Gross, Provost-Dean for refusing to acknowledge student
sentiment and choose to switch Commencement from the Zembo
Mousque in Harrisburg to campus on the front lawn or if it rain in the gym.
If ft does not rain and the ceremony is held ouside then Dr. Gross can
possibly be forgiven. But, if it is held in the gym the number of guests will
be limited to two per grad. This would not be the case if Commencement
were held in Harrisburg; guest per grad would be unlimited.
For Critics Only
A potentially powerful
voice is slowly fading away at
Capitol Campus. That voice is
the C.C. Reader.
Since accepting the posi
tion of faculty adviser to the
C.C. Reader, I have become
more aware of its problems
and shortcomings, i also see
a few dedicated members
who are concerned about
publishing a quality news
paper.
Unfortunately, their
efforts are being overshad
owed by an apathetic group
of students, primarily multi
media journalism majors,
who apparently feel they
would be wasting their time to
get involved with the paper.
I realize part-time jobs
and other commitments de
mand much of students’
spare time. But, as a former
journalism major, I can’t be
lieve a graduate would walk
into a newspaper office and
expect to land a job without
having any published writing

samples to show an editor. It
just isn’t a smart move.
The C.C. Reader staff
accepted the help offered by
two Humanities students,
who recently submitted an
edited issue of the C.C.
Reader, pointing out typos,
misspellings and other er
rors.
Yet where were these
students when they were re
ally needed? They could have
put their editing talents to
good use by proofreading
articles for the next editon.
If reporting and editing is
not your forte, other positions
are available in advertising,
photography and layout. The
valuable experience you re
ceive will be well worth the
time invested.
The current staff is doing
its best to offer the Capitol
Campus student body a qual
ity publication. Yes, there are
problems, yes, the paper is
far from perfect. And yes,
some people do care.

What about you?
The voice of the students
is too important to be si

Thanks Abt!
This is a letter to John
Brown
Dear John,
I realize that you wanted
to remain anonymous in your
efforts to present the concert
this past Friday, but you
worked so hard and put in so
much time that I thought it
was unfair not to thank you.
So Mr. Brown, Thank you for
your help. Without your ef
forts and the efforts of G.P.P.
we would have never had it.
One attaboy for you!!!

them out and see
The seeing is the fun for everybody, whether it be charity shows,
dramas, dancing, singing, composing poetry or songs, playwriting,
playing instruments, poetry reading , debating teams, tiddlywinks
matches, ad infinitum; the forum for all these talents is the University.
Without the forum and the encouragement, there will be nc
Renaissance at Capitol Campus. Dr: Gross-do you hear us?
It is depressing to hear young people say that there is nothing for them
to do on campus. How can it be! Enthusiasm costs only the energy of the
people around. The enthusiasm exists. It has been thwarted. If the powers
that be will not help, let them at least not hinder.
For the sake of this future cultural center of Harrisburg, let’s sock it to
’em. Let’s get buzzing with student talent at its best and brightest at
Capitol Campus.
Let the University community become conversant with the Arts.
Onward, Renaissance!
The super musical entertainment of :TyWalker, Merle Millhimes and
Faith Wilberscheid for their May 24 Piano-Vocal recital,
The Madrigal Choir, the chorus, the instrumental ensemble and Dr.
Mahar for the May 31 “A Return to Music” concert,
GPP for coming through with a great (mini) spring concert,
MHBOG and f%PE for providing some fine music for ‘‘Rites of
Spring.”
Again Dr. Gross for again refusing to acknowledge student imput and
making his own choice for the commencement speaker.
The administration for not informing the campus community of the
Health Resources Planning & Development Hearing on Three Mile Island
held May 22 in the Gallery Lounge.
Letter from President
Dear Fellow Students,
At last, Summer is just
around the corner and I’m
sure that like me, you are
finding it tough to concen
trate on the fast approaching
barrage of finals.
For some of you, the
“finals” mark the end of a
portion of your life which you
may or may not choose to
remember. As you venture
forth into the world of the
unemployed, I and the other
members of the S.G.A. wish
you the very best that can
possibly happen. You’ve put
in some tough hours here as
well as some good hours and
you deserve the best. Go out
there and claim it as your
$$
As for the rest of us,
summer can harbor all types
of goals with varied shapes
and sizes (ahem). If you plan
to travel, please take care of
yourself. It’s never easy to

IN MEMORIUM OFTALCOT PARSONS
Structural-Funtional what can it be?
Will it outline my values for me?
Is my life not what I want it to be?
Oh Talcot Parsons come back.
c.c. reader
read about a fatality which
involved someone you know.
I guess at this point, I
should put in an advance
’’plug” for the Student Gov
ernment. This coming fall,
there will be a lot of seats
open in the Senate and on
varying committees. We
need your talents as some
one who wants to do more
than talk. If you like music,
concerts or the field of Enter
tainment, we most difinitely
can use you. If you 're a
Public Policy or Business
major, (or any program for
that matter) the S.G.A. will
provide an excellent oppor
tunity to learn and practice
leadership and decision-ma
king. So much for the plug.
Above all, enjoy yoursel
ves this summer, get blind as
much as you want to, and
come back ready to fight.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Sheldon, Pres.
