    C.C. Reader
State of the campus
Yep, it's me again. Last
term, I received a great deal
of feedback concerning my
little "chats" with you. Some
of it was constructive, some
was not. The majority of the
students that I talked with
felt that I should continue the
practice of letting you know
what's going on in your Stu
dent Government as well as in
the Executive Branch. Ergo...
This term, we have some
bad news for you. Sam
Bookheimer, the - senior Social
Science representative, has
resigned from his duty as a
Senator on the S.G.A. Due to
a voluminous amount of work
that Sam will have to do this
term in order to complete an
internship, he felt that it
would be better for the stu
dent body if he simply resign
ed the position and thus al
lowed someone the opportu
nity 'to take his place. I'm
sorry to see Sam leave the
group. He is one heck of a
worker and he carried his
duties with the utmost integ
rity. Good luck Sam and thank
you for all that you've done!!
However, the good news is
yet to come. In Sam's place,
the Student Government has
acquired two (count 'em) new
additions. David Kinder and
David Austin have joined in to
do their part to better this
joint.
I'm really going to try to
keep this short!
Last issue of the CC.
Reader, I believe -- or should I
say hope -- you read that
letter from the W.S.D.C. con
cerning the proposed name
change of Capitol. Well, what
they say is partially true.
There is a name change in the
wind. As for the rest of the
allegations, when I asked the
Provost about them he stated
that he felt they were "inac
curate and unfair." Maybe.
Concerning the name
change, you will notice that in
the center section by the
round table, a box bearing the

ity to the box, there will be a
stack of ballots. On the ballots
will be a choice of proposed
names that have been kicked
around. Please choose just
one! If yin down more than
one, the ballot will be disre
garded. Dr. Gross says that
he wants our vote as to how
and what we feel about this
matter. Hey, I'm just relating
what I heard!!!! Anyway,
please make an attempt to fill
one out and drop it in the box.
There's still no word on
the mixer which was stolen.
The Student Government
voted to put a t.v. in the
gallery lounge. We felt that
that area should be utilized as
a meeting place or central
point on this floor since yen
dorville is such a dump. Over
the past years, the lounge
seems to have developed into
a library. This is not what the
original intent was. Now, that
doesn't mean that the t.v. has
got to be blaring everyone
out, so try it before you react.
I'd like to organize a pro-.
youof vendorville. How do
you feel about it? Would you
care to participate in a good
old fashioned, sit down and do
it protest? We have been
talking and. talking and talk
ing and talking and talking
and nothing seems to be get
ting done. The prices are too
high and the food isn't that
good. If McDonald's can do it,
then why can't Penn State????
Let me know by putting a
note or something in my mail
box, otherwise, I'll just as
sume that you don't care, so I
won't either.
As for the bookstore
well there's another joke. You
know, I spent ALL last sum
mer in this place attending
Bookstore Task Force Meet
ings. I really believed that
something could be done.
Well, at Comedy Campus, the
joke is on the people who pay
to come to school here.

DONE!!! You're still paying
through the nose and the
administration of this school is
STILL examining the prob
lem! Nonsense! I'm no bright
eyed kid who just left home. I
don't think the administration
WANTS to do anything. And
as for the manager? Well, I for
one know that there is a
certain attitude problem
there. I experienced it long
before I was elected to the
S.G.A. and I'm sure a few of
you have had your "encoun
ters".
Michael Benner just told
me nmneishtifh nsnirnft.
Which in Benner talk, means
don't write them a book. So,
I'll stop my weekly tirade for
now but you will hear
from me as well as the rest of
the Student Government.
Oh, as for "I. M. Fedup
crawl back under your rock.
I'm Fed up too -- with the type
of attitude you display. If you
have nothing constructive to
add to your boney-finger
pointing, put it back in your
pocket. When people resort to
pointing out problems CON
STANTLY with no solutions
ever offered, with no ex
change of free comment, and
with no guts to stand up and
be identified as someone who
wants to help correct prob
lems rather than just point
them out, then your com
ments and monologues fall on
deaf ears.
