Ten years ago, it was one large room
in what is now the library. It was
partitioned only by a thin curtain and it
was called, quite simply, the nurse's
office.

The Business Office would like to
remind students that there is a Lost and
Found department. If you have lost
anything, please report it to them.
The Lost and Found department has
collected many items, including an af

Today, however, Health Services is a
four-room suite consisting of a waiting
room, an examination room, a bath
room and an office. It is located across
the hail from the Records Office, on the
first floor of the Main Building. It
provides many services, and has a
variety of equipment available for stu
dents to take advantage of. Some of its
equipment is unique to small campuses
such at Capitol, and for this reason it is
to the students' benefit to utilize it.
Inside the Health Service Office, one
finds a relaxed, calm atmosphere, and is
greeted by the friendly face of one of the
nurses.

Westmoreland County Hospital in

COMMENDATION
On Friday, November 14, 1980 an
incident took place here on campus
which demonstrates the importance of
remaining calm during a crisis. A Capitol
student had pushed his arm through a
glass pane in a residence hall door,
severely cutting his wrist. Having wit
nessed the accident, Glen Baldwin, an
other Capitol student, realized instantly
that immediate steps should be taken to
prevent a dangerous loss of blood. Glen
applied direct pressure with his hands to
the slashed artery until the arrival of
professional medical help. Without
Glen's quick thinking, the student's con
dition would have been very grave.
Thank you Glen!

Congratulations to the new Junior
Student Government Association sena
tors and good luck with the work ahead
for them this year!
The four junior members who will
represent the junior class are: Joni
Rogers, Behavior Science and Educa
tion; Karen Kurek, Humanities; Ruberta
Bronson, Business Administration; and
Mike Treanor, Public Administration.
The four juniors, and two others who
are currently being screened for sena
tor-at-large positions, have the opportu
nity to represent their class and study
program in SGA's various meetings,
activities, and educational recommenda
tions.
The other issue offered during the
election held on November 4 was the
acceptance of the new Student Govern
ment Association constitution. Because
of a rule stating that 10 per cent of the
students must vote the issue failed,
causing the present government to work
under the past outdated constitution.

group. The students are fun to be with."
Mrs. Kresge has been at Capitol Campus
for ten years.
Also working at Capitol for the past
ten years is Mrs. Bonnie Petrosino, the
night nurse. Mrs. Petrosino is a graduate
of Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh,
and enjoys working at night because she
participates in extra-curricular events
during the day, such as golfing. Before
coming to Capitol Campus, Mrs. Petro
sino was a staff nurse in the Coronary
Intensive Care Department at the Poly
clinic Medical Center in Harrisburg.
Mrs. Petrosino said of her job here,
"This is much more quiet and relaxed
compared to there. There are still
responsibilities, but here they are less
pressurized, and it's not as exhausting
and demanding." Mrs. Petrosino is on

The issue of the constitution is not
yet buried. Another opportunity to vote
is being arranged. Students are urged to
vote in favor of the new constitution and

vote for it.

positions was:
Joni Rogers, Behavior Science and
Education -- 50
Ruberta Bronson, Business Adminis
tration -- 62
Karen Kurek, Humanities -- 13

Any student who still wants to be
considered as an SGA member is urged
to pick up a petition at the SGA office,
W-104, or ask any member of the SGA
staff for instructions. Being a member of
SGA is advantageous for members of
any club.

Donald Conrad, M.D., whose office is
in Middletown, is also available to help
students on campus. Dr. Conrad attend
ed the University of Pittsburgh, and
graduated from Hahneman Medical Col
lege in Philadelphia. He is on campus
every Tuesday morning from 10:00 to
11:00. Students may also visit his office
in Middletown any time during his office
hours for treatment, free of charge, if
they are sent there by one of the nurses.
In fact, most of the services and
medicines in the Health Services Office
are available at no charge and are
confidentially dispensed. This comes as a
surprise to many students, who are
reluctant to visit the nurse because they
