A Message
From The President
As the new term starts, it's time to get involved in the clubs you missed out on
last term. All clubs will accept new members, so don't be shy. Club mailboxes are
located in W.llO in order for you to contact the club that interests you. Just leave
a note with your name and phone number and let the club contact you. Meeting
dates are usually posted on the bulletin boards in the Main Building--so there is no
excuse for not getting involved.
I have heard some complaining about the clubs asking for ID's and proof-of-age
at the door of social events held in the Student Center. I am asking you to please
understand that these people are only following state laws. This procedure will be
enforced for the safety of you, the club holding the event, and the University.
For the suggestion of mailboxes for commuting students made at Stone
Valley, I believe that because of many factors it will not be achieved this year.
Instead, a commuter center is being designed. Look for it in the future!
The Student Center was rockin' during the recent "After The Bash Bash."

Drugs

chronic elevated blood pressure (hyper
tension), chronic irregular pulse rate,
and kidney or liver problems. In ad
dition, there is the risk of becoming
psychologically and mildly physically
addicted to these substances.
3) Potentiation effects are essentially
the same as synergistic but result from
mixing "look-a-likes" with alcohol. When
alcohol is combined with "look-a-likes,"
there is an extremely strong chance that
there can be heart, respiratory and renal
shutdown because of the shock to the
body caused by the alcohol.
WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE ON
LOOK-A-LIKES? Using "look-a-likes" is
like playing Russian roulette. The risk is
sure and the consequences permanent.
You simply do not know what you are
taking and how powerful it can be.
Taking more than one can be life-threat
ening, as indeed is washing it down with
alcohol. Therefore, if you or your friends
are considering using them, just ask
yourself . . .Is it worth the risk?
For more information on "look-a
likes," or if someone you know is having
a problem with these drugs, feel free to
stop by the Health Services Ofice (W
-102) or call us at 948-6015. We'll be
happy to answer your questions and deal
with your concerns.

Frisbetarianism?

reports that Berkeley students were recently
asked to specify their religious preference in a
survey.
One student reportedly put
"Frisbetarianism," which the student explain
ed was the "belief that when you die, your
soul goes up on the roof and no one can get it
down."

Continuing students are given first
priority over all other applicants for
housing. HOWEVER -- YOU WILL
RECIEVE THIS PRIORITY ONLY IF
YOUR APPLICATION IS FILED AND
By Kevin Spiegel
The day started out for most students as a typical Monday morning, but it
ended up as a strange experience for a few down in the Lion's Den.
It all began when a Capitol graduate from the class of 1979, Vito Valvano,
charged into the Lion's Den and allegedly stated that the Penn State Capitol
Campus had brainwashed him. An eyewitness recalled that the man then
proceeded to pull out a letter opener and attempted to stab himself.
The students who were around Valvano thought nothing of the incident until
he ripped open his shirt and tried to stab himself. Two students grabbed Valvano
and wrestled him to the ground. Police and other authorities rushed to the scene
as medical officials attended to the victim. Valvano was transported to the
Harrisburg Hospital for treatment.
I'm sorry I hurt feelings! In my first article I told you that the article was in
fun. None of the things I wrote about was serious. You see, I thought the people I
wrote about would understand that. I assumed that everyone here at Capitol
Campus could take a joke. But you know what Benny Hill says about assuming!
I want to make a special apology to the Accounting Club. There are many nice
people in that club who do not deserve the unfairness with which I treated them. I
hope you all accept these apologies.
