Room For Improvement
By Bruce Burns
Already in the works for the next
season is the possibility of a field foi
the Lions on campus. The lack of a true
"home" diamond to compete and prac
tice upon hurt the team this year, and
the developement of such a field on
campus should be the top priority of all
concerned. In my involvement with
the Athletic Department here at PSU-
Capitol Campus this year , I have heard
a great deal said by administration
officials about improvements of inter
collegiate athletics at this institution.
Well guys, this woulu be a great place
to start. Let's give our baseball team a
field they can practice and play on
which will not only improve the stand
ards of the baseball program, but
upgrade the overall intercollegiate
athletic picture of PSU/Capitol. Ev
eryone talks about building up athletics
here, but no one acts accordingly. Now
is the time!
etters to
The Editor
Editor,
Twice a year the XGIs sponsor the
Hershey Blood Bank visit to campus.
This time it will be held on Tuesday,
June 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of
the Main Building. We are hoping for
another successful drive for the Blood
Bank.
The Fraternity considers the Blood
Drive as one of the most important
campus activities held throughout the
year. Blood received in these drives is
credited to the Capitol Campus XGI
Donor Organization and we can release
the blood to any person in need of it.
Donors automatically become eligible
recipients of the XGI blood bank's full
donating power if the donor or any
relative should need blood.
With aid from the Capitol popula
tion, past blood drives have been
extremely successful and we thank you
for that. At the same time we ask for
your continued support in order that
this drive will also be successful.
Try to be a donor on Tuesday, June
3, and inform others of this drive and
encourage them to support this activ
ity.
There will be a sign-up sheet posted
in the Nurse's office for scheduling
purposes. Also, coffee, juice, and
donuts will be supplied by the Fratern
ity for your refreshment afterwards.
Thank You,
William F. Busher
Blood Drive Chairman
Editor,
Curently, there is a survey being
conducted to obtain students' opinions
of their advisors in the Business De
partment. Did you know that? There
are a large number of business stu
dents who, I am sure , do not. The
reason? The survey is being conducted
with selectedstudents and if your name
is not on that list, you have no chance
to formally voice your opinion on the
advisement services you receive.
Personally, I am outraged! I have
one of the lousiest advisors on campus
and would greatly appreciate the
chance to let this fact be known.
However, my name is not on the
"selected" list of students so my unhap
piness goes unheard.
Are you one of the people whose
name is not on that list? Do you have an
opinion about the so-called advisement
services offered in the Business De-

Students Surveyed On Adequacy Of Advising
students not among "the chosen few"
can present responses to the commit
tee.
By Harry H. Moyer
In the beginning of May, the Facul
ty Organization Committee on Student
Affairs conducted a survey to study the
academic advising program currently
being used at Capitol Campus.
In order to get information from all
parties involved in the advising pro
cess, the committee decided to survey
students, faculty and program heads,
and then compare and contrast the
responses across the three groups.
The committee's intentions were to
conduct the survey scientifically by
using 50% of the student body.
There are valid reasons why the
committee chose to survey only 50% of
the students instead of everyone.

partment? Then let your voice be
heard!
I am sick and tired of being bypas
sed—especially when I am one of the
students who is very displeised with
the counseling that I "haven't" re
ceived!
We, as PSU/Capitol st•ldents, are
what this institution is all about. Why
is it that only some of us are important
enough to be heard? P.S. This applies
to all the other majors as well.

Editor,
Hi again there, gang! Did ya miss
me? Well I sure missed you. Actually
Harry and I have been trying to
straighten out some policy interpreta
tion and the publishing of this letter,
plus some of the others accrued over
the last couple of issues, should be a
sign that Harry, in his infinite wisdom,
has made the right decision. Way to go,
Harry.
Anyway, enough said about my
absence. It's the end of the year and
what does the end of any year usually
signify?...You guessed it... Awards.
You've heard of the Tonies, the Oscars,
the Grammies, the Emmy's, the Olym
pic Gold, well here come the IMFy's,
Sorry folks, that's the best I can do.
Now most of you probably think
that the IMFy is a supercilious ego
centered testimonial to yours truly. No
such luck, bunky. The IMFy's are
awarded each year by the International
Ministry of Foolishness.
50... on with the show... the enve
lope, please.
The first annual Wish You Were
Here IMFy is awarded in absentia to
Drs. Duane Shuttlesworth and Don
Sugai.
The Wish You Would Still Be Here
IMFy is awarded to Lem and Yvonne.
The Don't Go Away Mad, Just Go
Away IMFy goes to their bosses.
The Silk Purse Out Of A Sow's Ear
IMFy goes to Minister of Propaganda
Dorfman.
The Father of The Year IMFy goes
to Dr. Posatko.
The Mother of the Year IMFy goes
to Dr. Towns.
A special Bromo IMFy is awarded
for years of deserved merit to Vendor
vine.
The What Me Worry? IMFy to Dr
South.

A small survey is easier to control.
When only statistical results are
desired, it is not necessary to sample
the whole group. For example, the
gallup poll would be impossible to
conduct if it were necessary to survey
the entire population of the United
States.
The committee only made one mis
take. Selection.
Although the survey is probably
representative of student thought,
there are students who resent not
being one of "the chosen few." The
selection process was controlled, no
doubt, but it is not clear whether

photographs, short stories, graphics, and other creative endeavors; [4] to serve as
a learning mechanism for all students interested in the journalistic process. This
includes reporting, editing, layout, typesetting, and paste-up.

The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and are not
necessarily the opinions of the students, faculty, staff, or administration of the

Author must be identifiable as a student, staff member, or faculty member;

In other words, in addition to a
statistical survey, it would be appro
priate to also distribute half-sheet
pages asking for students to give their
opinions.
The response will not be phenome
nal, but at least everyone will be able
to have a chance to speak up. Who
knows, maybe one of "the rejected
few" will have an idea that is new and
worthwhile.
