CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT
Timothy Hagan
My name is Timothy Hagan, and I
would be extremely delighted to be
elected president of the Student Gov
ernment Association.
Being a full-time undergraduate stu
dent--and planning to be the same next
year--I fulfill the qualifications necessary
to become an officer in SGA. Also, I lived
on campus for two terms, and am Low
residing off-campus in Middletown. This
knowledge of residency will be useful,
especially when dealing with the wants
and needs of the students.
During my short-lived experience of
campus residency, I acquired a certain
knowledge of the chain of command. I
believe this knowledge will be a major
factor in helping me to become a good
president and to help me reach my goal
which is to make social life on campus
more appealing to all students.
CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT
Roberta Bronson
Hi! I am Roberta Bronson and I am
running for your Student Government
President. My qualifications are: Secre
tary of Sophomore class, Vice President
of Junior and Senior class, member of
the National Honor Society at Blooms
burg Sr. High School, ten years member
ship in the Columbia County Wide 4-H
Dairy Club, where I held the offices of
secretary, treasurer, and vice-president
several times. I was selected for Who's
Who Among Students in Junior Colleges
and Youth in Achievement, secretary/
treasurer for the PSU-Hazelton Chorus,
and President of the International
Circle K Club-PSU-Hazelton. Current
position includes Student Government
Junior Senator for the Business Admin
istration Program. I feel that because of
the numerous offices I have held and the
experience gained from being a senator
this last year for Student Government
that I can responsibily fill the position of
President of SGA.
One of the main areas I would like to
address as president is advising. This is
a major complaint on this campus by
students. Some students are faced with
ineffective guidance on course offerings,
graduation requirements, alternatives,
etc.
The Student Center Committee is
working on utilization of the Student
Center facilities. As President I would
like to see more events happening there.
A few ideas are weekly movies, a variety
of entertainment, possible food service,
and perhaps instructional classes.
Fair distribution of SGA funds to
chartered clubs is another area of inter
est. By doing this, clubs will have funds
to sponsor more events. President's
Council will be used to exchange club
ideas and problems and enable clubs to
support one another in their events. I
also would like to see the continuation of
an annual campus event that is
sponsored by the clubs, namely "Rites of
Spring."
Bus trips are a possibility for future
activities. Perhaps short trips to hockey
games and/or to Reading outlets, on
longer trips to Atlantic City could be
arranged. •
Another major complaint of students
is that there is limited communication of
events, administrative events, and
activities. I believe that student mail
boxes should be installed to eliminate
this problem. While attending a previous
campus, small mailboxes were assigned
each term to aid communication between
faculty and students, administration and
students, clubs and students, and
SGA Platforms
students and students. The same system
could be installed at Capitol Campus.
At present there are two typewriters
available for student use, one in the SGA
office lobby and one in the library. Many
people cannot afford a typewriter, and
with this campus being upper divisional
and graduate level there are more
papers to be completed and typed. I
would like to look into placing another in
the library with their consent or another
appropriate place in the main building.
Overall, I believe there should be a
method for students to let SGA know
their suggestions, thus allowing SGA to
serve the students better, which is the
main purpose of the association. All SGA
meetings are open and have a section
especially for student's suggestions but
not too many have taken advantage of
this. In order to eliminate the communi
cation problem I would like to have a
suggestion box placed •in the Main
Building.
I will appreciate your support and
vote in the upcoming election on April 21
and 22.
Don't forget to vote yes for the new
SGA CONSTITUTION WHEN
VOTING. Have a successful term every
one! Vote Roberta for President!
My fellow students,
Election time is upon us once again. I would like to remind everyone to
vote on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Student Government Constitution is up for vote by the student
body. It desperately needs to pass. The Student Government cannot
function as well as it should until the constitution passes. We need ten
percent of the student body to vote in order for it to pass. Please take the
:ime to read it (it's published in this issue of the C.C. Reader and cast your
vote for it. Students have worked hard to get it into good form, and all it
•.seeds is your okay.
The James Jordan Award nominees are also to be voted on. This is the
student body's chance to vote for who it feels are the best teachers at
Capitol Campus. Look over the list and think seriously about who you vote
for. We need to pick people who are truly good teachers and who work
positively with students.
The Student Government offices and Senate elections are the most
Important things to be voted on. The platforms are also printed in this issue
if the Reader. Take the time to read them. Make realistic decisions about
ho you vote -for. Remember, they'll be your leaders for the next year.
hey'll have quite a responsibility--both to you, the students, and to the
administration. Pick candidates who can handle the job.
Please remember to vote Tuesday or Wednesday. Don't forget your ID.
See you at the Polls
CANDIDATE FOR
VICE-PRESIDENT
Hi, my name is Steve King, and I
want to be your vice-president for the
SGA. I feel that I have ample qualifica
tions for this office.
My qualifications include being cap
tain of my wrestling and track teams
while at Gettysburg High School. I was
also active in community organizations,
such as the Junior Fire Department,
where I served as the secretary, trea
surer, vice-president, and president over
a four-year period. I was also involved in
activities in my church, where I served
as treasurer and president for my youth
group. I also served on a committee to
improve fellowship in the church. As a
student at Capitol Campus I became a
representative to the Resident Student
Council. I then was elected vice-presi
dent of the same organization, and when
the president of the club resigned, I
became president. I am also a member of
the student chapter of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, for
which I am secretary. I am also a
member of the ski club, and made the
Dean's List during my first term at
Capitol Campus.

Steve King
My reasons for seeking the vice
presidency are simple. First, I want to
improve student involvement in campus
activities. I will try to accomplish this by
means of the President's Council. I plan
to review the amount of activity which
each club participates in, and make
suggestions to the SGA concerning the
clubs' treasuries accordingly. By this, I
mean that clubs which are not active
should either have low budgets or be
eliminated altogether. This will leave
more money for the most involved
groups, which in turn will increase the
amount of activities sponsored for stu
dents.
My second reason for wanting the
office of vice-president is that, as most of
you can tell, the facilities on this campus
are becoming too small and outdated for
the ever-increasing student body. I
would like to create an interaction with
the administration in order to state
objectives to current problems of this
sort. Through committee action, we can
offer possible solutions to these prob
lems.
However, none of this will even have
a chance of being accomplished if I don't
receive your vote. If you feel strongly
about these previous subjects, vote
Steve King for vice-president.

SGA President
CANDIDATE FOR
TREASURER
Karen Kurek
Money is a very important commod
ity, especially to those of us with very
little. If elected treasurer of the SGA, I
will do my best to see that what little
money there is works for all students
and clubs.
As a student at Penn State Schuylkill
Campus, I was actively involved in
student activities such as vice president
of the Student Government and presi
dent of the Student Union Board.
Before becoming a student at Capitol
Campus, I worked in the • accounting
discipline as an accounting clerk. My
responsibilities included involvement in
preparing budgets and preparation of
financial statements.
As a commuting student at Capitol
Campus, I am a Junior Senator and a
member of the Student Government
Finance Committee. My major is Busi
ness, with an Accounting option.
Because of my previous work exper
ience and my involvement in Student
Government, I feel I will be able to
perform well in the position of treasurer.
Therefore, I ask you to vote for me,
Karen Kurek, on April 21 and 22 as your
representative as treasurer of Student
Government.
CANDIDATE FOR
TREASURER
Judith A. Polliard
I am a candidate for the office of
Student Government Treasurer. My
name is Judi Poniard. I served on
several committees of Circle K. My
background in leadership is varied. As
finance committee chairman of the In
teract Club, I received a distinguished
Merit Award. I was in charge of fund
raising for a trip to Canada as Secretary-
Treasurer of the Chorus. The last posi
tions I held were honarary secretary of
the Varsity Club, and at the same time I
was treasurer of the student govern
ment at Mont Alto Campus. At the start
of my reign I had a backlog of three
months' book work and the responsibi
lity of changing systems. I am familiar
with the systems used at this campus.
My past.experience and familiarity with
the present system of bookkeeping
makes me an excellent candidate for the
office of SGA treasurer at Capitol
Campus. As treasurer and budget com
mittee chairman, I intend to see that
SGA funds are distributed fairly and
used properly. I would also like to work
on new ways of fund raising and utilizing
those funds. One idea would be to
involve the alumni in a campus activity
such as the Rites of Spring.
CANDIDATE FOR
SECRETARY
Tish Whalen
The time has arrived to elect next
year's SGA officials, and I, Tish Whalen,
am running for Secretary of Student
Government.
I have been active in Student Gov
ernment since high school, holding the
positions of Junior Class Secretary, Otis
Representative for Student Government
at York Campus, and Secretary of the
Beta Club. I was involved in National
Honor Society, Drama Club, Art Club,
American Government Club, and Com
puter Science Club.
While taking on the responsibilities
of being a Resident Assistant at Capitol
Campus, I have been active in DPMA
and Photo Club. Being an RA requires
close association with students and from
my experience and interactions with the
students I have developed an under
standing of their wants and needs.
Therefore, I feel I am qualified and
would very much like to represent you
as Secretary of Student Government.
CANDIDATE FOR
EXECUTIVE AND SENATE
SECRETARY
Robbie L. Adler
I believe that the Student Govern
ment Association at Capitol Campus can
be very instrumental in working for us,
the students. If used to its fullest
potential, SGA can contribute to every
aspect of student life.
I was vice-president of SGA at Mont
Alto Campus, chairperson of the Student
Activities Committee, and a member of
the Hearing Board. I also attended
C.0.8.5.G.A. meetings at State College.
Because of these involvements, I am
familiar with the government of Penn
State University. As a first term student
at Capitol, I am running for the position
of Executive & Senate Secretary in
order to assist the SGA with its unlimit
ed paper work, while also contributing to
its success during the 1981-82 school
year.
