Supervisor's Kegga rs Etiquette A recent unpleasant public outburst by a Capitol Campus staff supervisor has been brought to our attention. It deserves comment. It is definitely in bad taste to yell, shout, scream, shriek, bark, bellow, roar, or holler at employees publicly. It really is. No one likes to witness that kind of behavior. It's embarassing for the employee and it's embarassing for the people who have to witness it. Besides, it makes the one who is doing the yelling, shouting, screaming, shrieking, barking, bellowing, roaring, or holler ing look like a fool. It really does. To verify the correct procedure, we turned to the soon-to-be-released book, Supervisors' Etiquette, which was written by an anonymous' author. It really was. According to the book, a supervisor who notes an employee's need for corrective advice should wait for an opportune time to invite the employee into a secluded, private office -- prefer ably one with a door that closes. Once inside, the supervisor should give the corrective advice as politely as possible to the employee. The employ ee will appreciate it and the public will appreciate it. It will keep the supervisor from looking like a fool. It really will. No supervisors could possibly dis agree with the simple perfection of this system. Unless, of course, these super visors are ones who just get a kick out of throwing their weight around in public. In which case, it would be best that those supervisors take their weight up on the roof of the building and throw it right over the edge. It really would. A Poem For A Loved One For Doris Hughes -- in fond remembrance from all of us whose lives were touched by the sweet generosity in her soul. I think continually of those who were truly great. Who, from the womb, remembered the soul's history Through corridors of light where the hours are suns, Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition Was that their lips, still touched with fire, Should tell of the spirit clothed from head to foot in song And who hoarded from the spring branches The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms. What is precious is never to forget The delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth; Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother With noise and fog the flowering of the spirit. Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields See how these names are feted by the waving grass, And by the streamers of white cloud, And whispers of wind in the listening sky; The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's center. Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honor. -- Stephen Spender Editorial/Opinion I THINK CONTINUOUSLY OF THOSE WHO WERE TRULY GREAT TO BE OR NOT TO BE Thursday, . p 0, 1980 The C.C. Reader has learned that Consolidation alcoholic beverages were permitted on campus during the March 21 Recep- tion-Dinner held for the Pennsylvania State University Board of Trustees in the Multi-Purpose Building. Since sev eral student organizations were not permitted to serve table wine at special on-campus events this year, a double standard has been set. The students have been cheated! Even if the Board of Trustees is Penn State's top governing body, why is its members allowed to break a University-wide regulation which pro hibits alcoholic beverages on campus? Even considering the friendly atmosphere that was a part of the Board of Trustees visit at Capitol, why were alcoholic beverages permit ted in the Multi-Purpose Building? Why wasn't the Reception-Dinner held at the Host Inn (where breakfast and luncheons were provided)? It is a sad fact that many Capitol Campus students hold their alcohol very dear to them. Although the C.C. Reader does not condone mass drunk eness, it does feel that students have the right to their drink because of the March 21 action.

Moyer Editor-in-Chief LETTERS POLICY CAPITOL CAMPUS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Of Divisions continued from page 1 "Faculty look on their work as a nine-to-five job. The aura of profes sionalism is eroded. Ultimately, the students are shortchanged." "The welfare of the students is my primary consideration," said one who favors the proposed changes. "If I didn't believe consolidation would ben efit the students," he said, "I would not have voted for it." In this professor's view, faculty registered offense oh this ballot because they were asked their opinions, then their opinions seemingly were ignored. "What faculty members, and students, must remember," he said, "is their opinion is a valuable source of input, but administrative decisions must rest, finally, with the administration. To date, the plans for consolidation of divisions will become effective July 1 as planned. Business Manager - Jeffrey R.
