page 2 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 c.c. reader penn state university capital campus office: W-129 pnone: 944-4970 editor lyda baker buisness managers bob manley and david horn feature editor susan girolami sports editor tony gladfelter photo editor bob foster typesetter me cartoonist joe horvath staff joan klein louisa baskin jeffdrinnan gayle greenwald advisor candy the vieuvs expressed In this Coming 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. =C.C. Reader Opinion editor What about you? The voice of the students is too important to be si lenced. Don’t let it happen. --Candy Williams Instructor, Humanities Dept. 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!!! of Age 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 Anonymous 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. Maxwell
