The Last
The C.C. Reader dedicated this year to the promotion of campus community
involvement, school spirit, and overall positive mental attitude. Because the
results of this year's efforts will be seen by future students, it is unfair to label
this year's student activities as "effective" or "ineffective."
Through the course of the year, the C.C. Reader's Student Service Series has
featured most of the services available to students from the Division of Student
Affairs. These services include Athletics, Counseling, Health Services, Interna
tional Students, Placement, Residence Living, Safety Services, Student
Activities, and Police Services. Other campus departments that were featured
include the Bookstore, Campus Relations, and Financial Aid.
Also, the expansion of the Calendar of Events has hopefully helped to make
students aware of worthwhile activities in the surrounding community.
SGA and Student Organizations were active
Although some students will say that there wasn't anything to do this year,
the leaders of the Student Government Association and most other student
organizations will disagree. Some of the more notable activities were the
orientation picnic, the bus trip to U.P. for All-U Day, the Fall Road Rallaye, the
World Series Spectator Spectacular, lAA's International Dinner, MHBOG's
Communal Thanksgiving Dinner, The Novemberfest, Hillel's Wine and Cheese
Party, Thursday Night Movies, Monday Night Football, The Superbowl
Spectator's Spectacular, Ski Club's Vermont Trip, Country Rock Night, XGl's
Sadie Hawkin s Dance, XGl's Philly Trip, BSU's Fashion Show, RSC's Spring
Olympics, and RSC's Semiformal.
The most positive signs of cooperation by student organizations were
demonstrated at the Alumni Association's Phonathon, The Health Fair, and
MHBOG's Rites of Spring.
The students that participated in these activities had a good time. Lots of
memories. lots of friends. Excitement.
The students that did not participate in these activities missed the boat. There
is always next year.
It is interesting that the Student Government Association did not receive
many student complaints this year. Was everybody happy?
It is also interesting that the Administration did not receive nearly as much
student criticism this year as it did last year. Was everybody happy?
Students could be happy. They know that Capitol Campus will not change its
name, campus police won't carry guns, and students have a Dean's List. Still, was
everybody happy?
No. Students have to be discontent. If nothing else, students always complain
about dorm food. Guess again. JoAnn Nesgoda has been very understanding and
helpful in providing good food to students.

Editorial
There has been some concern that the Student Center should have a snack
bar. Hopefully, a plan will be implemented this fall.
There was concern that Vendorville had an ugly appearance. Well, thanks to
Mex Bleau, Rosanne Rosenberger, and the rest of the Vendorville Subcommittee,
Vendorville will be totally renovated by fall term.
Charles Townley has been busy improving the Heindel Library.
Roger Williams has improved the faculty newspaper and the Capitol Campus
Bulletin.
The Public Affairs Division will be able to offer a Ph.D. in Political Science in
conjunction with the Department of Political Science at University Park.
Are students happy?
The C.C. Reader recognizes the fine job that Pat Murphy and the Resident
Assistants have done by distributing copies of C.C. Reader to resident students.
Special thanks to Frank Orlevitch, Night Custodial Technician, for providing
guidance and understanding in W-129 on Wednesday nights.
Also, thanks to Ben Graybill and the Middletown Press & Journal staff for
consistently doing a qyality print job in a minimum amount of time. Your patience
and understanding is greatly appreciated.
Finally, the C.C. Reader recognizes the importance that secretaries and
administrative staff have in the effective operation of the Campus. Special thanks
