Hello again, everyone. I've heard a
lot of talk about my last column, namely,
"Who wrote it?" Unfortunately, the
editors of this paper thought that I
would be hurt by publishing my name.
They also buried my column on page
four, but luckily you all found it. My
byline will appear from now on, where
ever the column appears.
Let's start again with the dorm beat.
Hey Zoo--the last time I wrote about you,
you put the column up in your hall as a
compliment. Can't you take a hint?
"Animals" isn't exactlt the nicest thing I
could think of to say about a group of
guys. On the other hand, I have seen the
good side of the Zoo. There are some nice
guys up there who don't always have a
beer in their hands .. . but then there are
girls who like guys who are always
drinking. (Girls, you know who you are.)
Second floor Wrisberg is all bummed
out. The soccer season was canceled
because of injury?! The guys don't have
soccer to take up their time, so they have
invested all their time into partying!
More power to you, guys. There is
nothing to be said about first floor
Wrisberg that hasn't already been said.
Sounds like a great place to live, doesn't
it?
Again, Church Hall is a little more
lively. The feud goes on between first
and third floors. My money is on third
floor, "The Triangle" as they call them
selves. It is not, however, because they
are superior to first floor. About half of
first floor guys are crude, rude, and
intolerable when in normal human com
pany. At least third floor guys have a
little common courtesy. By the way,
third floor guys, what was that I smelled
in your lounge during the World Series?
Some first floor guys are cool, however.
Cheech and Chong are the envy of all the
guys on the floor. It seems that girls just
flock to their rooms. It must be charm
and good looks that draw girls to guys.
No wonder most of the first floor guys
are lonely.
Now some of the promised infor
mation about the second floor girls.
November has been birthday (party)
month on the floor. Reports are that
Scorpios are insatiable lovers. That's
probably why a lot of second floor girls
have boyfriends at home and at school.
The girls are all discreet about who and
where, so it would be unfair of me to be
specific. Let's just say a lot of second
floor girls have been having a ball this
term.
The Heights haven't been very ex
citing these last weeks, either, probably
because there have been campus-spon
sored parties almost every weekend and
Tuesday. MHBOG is again to be con
gratulated: The Bizarre Bazaar Hallo
ween weekend was great! There was one
problem, however. Some of my female
friends have told me that they were a
little bit bummed out that evening. A lot
of guys had masks on, so the girls didn't
know who they were. These masked.
guys would walk up to girls and be very
"friendly" without the girls knowing who
it was. When the girls found out who was
under those masks, they were angry for
being invaded by these guys. On the
whole, though, it was a great time.
Tuesday, Nov. 4 was a good time too.
The Accounting Club sponsored the Bent
Poles in the Student Center. There were
a lot of pretty "gone" people at that
party. The problem, however, was .that
the people who sponsored the party and
were supposed to be keeping an eye on
the Student Center got really drunk.
They made jackasses of themselves by
shoooting the moon and various other
absurdities. When it came time to clean
up, these guys were nowhere to be
found. The Accounting Club got a warn•
ing from the Office of Student Affairs for
not cleaning up.
MHBOG was back the following
Tuesday with another great party, the
15th Anniversary party. It was great!
The band could have been better (there
could have been more rock & roll) but
things were nice:
The big news happened on Wednes
day evening. Everyone that is anyone at
Penn State was here at Capitol. The
speeches and people were impressive,
but the formally dressed professors
were the greatest. We really got a
chance to see our professors behave
around their bosses . . . that kind of thing
puts them on our level, somehow.
There was one other interesting note
this time. It seems that the Accounting
Club sponsored a trip to Atlantic City.
They came back a few people short, and
all of Thursday evening was spent trying
to locate one girl who was still missing.
The girl came rolling in with some guy
from Atlantic City later that night while
Buzzy and Pellechia were preparing to
drive to Atlantic City. Let me get this
right--we're supposed to be adults, aren't
we?
Ihe Golden Lion Award goes to
MHBOG. Last time I just praised them
for doing a good job. This time, I'm going
to give them the award. Without them,,
this term would have been socially
unbearable. Thursday night second floor
Church had a backgammon tournament.
Friday night there was a Fifties Dance in
the Student Center. Find out what's
going on on campus, and support it!

students. Eligibility is based on family income: normally a student's family must
have a gross income of less than ;15,000 or must be eligible for some type of
welfare benefits. A variety of work assignments are available in Mechanicsburg
to fit eligible students' work experience and majors. Students who are selected

Tuesday and Friday nights at Capitol
are becoming fun again, thanks to the
efforts of our student organizations. And
if you don't already know what I'm
talking about, here's a recap of what
you've missed.
The Meade Heights Board of Gover
nors' Halloween Bizarre Bazaar was a
"howling" success. We got to see the
true natures of a lot of our friends that
night! Everything was there, from vam
pires and Martians to clowns and the
cooling towers of Three Mile Island.
Congrats go to Dennis Coleman and his
partner for winning the "Best Costume"
award as Raggedy Anne and Andy. I
could go oh forever applauding all of the
costumes I saw, but what I liked most
were the costumes that a few of the girls
were almost wearing. I did hear some
complaints about the band, but maybe
there was a full moon that night.

Association, had a good crowd. Now if
only we could get that many people to
vote! Again, I heard the band could have
been better. I wish I could say more
about this one, but I must have had a
good time if I don't remember what I
was doing.
The Capitol Campus Birthday Party,
put on by MHBOG, was definitely happy.
There were a lot of faces, both faculty
and students, that you just don't see
often enough. The band, High Tide,
could really play, though now I've had
my disco fix for the year. The birthday
cake went almost as fast as the balloons
that were decorating the place. What
didn't go fast was the "line' around the
refreshments.
All in all, the social scene this year at
Capitol is much better' than the last two
years. The highest praise goes to the
people who brought back the Student
Center parties and made them work. I'm
beginning to think that this is becoming
a real college.
