    More club moves suggested to Provost
By Maria Kent
and Neil Myers
The Capitol Times may be
the latest office scheduled to
move to the west wing of the
third floor of the Olmsted
Building if Provost/Dean Ruth
Leventhal approves plans sub
mitted by the Humanities
Division.
According to James D.
South, Assistant Provost for
Student Affairs, the
Humanities Division has
developed plans for a graphics
lab and student publications of
fice in the third floor space now
occupied by part of the Instruc
tional Services suite.
Leventhal said that both
Humanities and instructional
Services had submitted plans
for the use , of the space and that
"total space utilization" was
being evaluated. She said the
proposed change was in its ear
ly stages, and that it was part
of a program to re-assign space
that could be used more
efficiently.
Administrators from both
Humanities and Instructional
Services declined to describe
their proposals in detail.
William Mahar, Head of the
Humanities Division, denied
the existence of any plans to
move the Capitol Times.
The Times is currently
located in W-129 Olmsted.

Administration officials are
considering two sets of pro
posals submitted by Don
Strausburger, program director
of WNDR last semester. Both
plans would use W-343 but the
second plan would use part of
W-341, according to
Strausburger. W-341 is part of
Instructional Services and could

In a letter to Schnier, dated
Feb. 5, Dezamits objected to
the spreading of "immorality,

that a few students should not
be allowed to decide what the
rest of the campus sees.
Jennifer Krohn, Director of
Student Activities, has oppos

Schnier proposed it in October.
Krohn said "the issues in the
film deal with violence toward

The first set of floor plans in
cluded the front half of W-341
for future use, such as the
possible conversion to FM.
W-343 would then be divided
into three sections including the
already existing AM station and
offices for the music director
and program director, accor
ding to Strausburger.

this is the appropriate place for
it."
Krohn, in a letter to Schnier,
suggested the formation of a
panel to discuss "the issues of
victimization and violence."
Schnier objected to the original
proposal which called for
previewing and postviewing
discussions with admittance to
be closed after the start of the
first discussion. Initially,
Schnier refused the proposal.
Later, however, Schnier
volunteered, in conjunction
with the Residence Living Pro
gram, to sponsor a panel
discussion which will be held
Monday, Feb. 18, at 12:15 in
the Gallery Lounge.

The WNDR switch from the
first to third floor could begin
sometime this semester accor
ding to South.
South said the move is
necessary to correct the lack of
staff relationships with the
radio station. WNDR is cur
rently a student activity run by
students; the Humanities divi
sion hopes to change this by in
volving more Humanities
students, South said.
Mahar said, "it makes sense
to have all the humanities
(media) in one place." He said
Provost to Student Affairs, ex
pressed his concern by saying,
"the film is inappropriate and
films like it should not be
shown for a number of reasons
that have to do with the nature
"The film is inappropriate and films
like it should not be shown."
or content of the film."
"Capitol Campus is a public
land grant university," stated
South. "We don't condone it
(the film), we think it's inap
propriate, but likewise, we are
a public institution and as such
we would not be in a position
to preclude the film."
SUBOG has met all the
university's requirements for
showing the film; therefore, the
university will-not interfere.
Individual reactions to the
film are a mixed bag. Some
students such as Liz Roberts, a
senior majoring in business,
think that "Jeff Schnier is try
ing to take into consideration a
wide variety of audiences in
stead of a particular set. I think
that if you find it objectionable,
you shouldn't attend."
On the opposing side you
have views like those of Randy
Markle, a business manage
ment major. "To tell you the
Bookstore to open

food, clothing, etc. The book
store will look more like a
department store, he added.
"It will probably be as good
as any bookstore in the [univer
sity] system," Kemp said,
The CC bookstore was fund
ed through the Bookstore
Systems Commonwealth,
Kemp said.
The idea for a new campus
bookstore came from former
Provost/Dean Theodore Gross.
Gross approached University
Park with the idea and the pro
ject was awarded in March,
itol Times Pare
there has been no decision
made yet regarding WNDR's
move to the third floor.
"It's great," South said. "It
opens a number of possibilities.
It enhances the facilities and
makes them more usable."
He continued, the move will
enhance relations with faculty
and make the radio station
more professional. South
replied that the move illustrates
a better use of campus
resources and that a better en
vironment will produce a better
radio station.
truth, I'm not in favor of it,"he
said, "not at all. I just don't
think it's appropriate. This isn't
the place for that. You can go
to town if you want to see
that."

Assistant Provost
for Student Affairs
Some students feel though
they may not want to see the
film, they have no objection to
its being shown. Vince Fisher,
a BCT major and a junior,
summed this feeling up when he
claimed, "it doesn't bother me,
you know. I feel that if these
people want to do it and they
can get a turn-out, ok. They
aren't forcing anyone to come
to it."
So the controversy goes on,
with both sides continuing to
stand firmly by their beliefs.
Reguardless of the outcome,
both sides agree there is
something of value to be gain
ed from this controversy. This
belief was best summarized by
Jennifer Krohn- who said, "I
think it is real important that
concerns be aired in some kind
of forum which means that we
put this whole thing into an
educational setting."
Bill Kistler, manager of the
campus bookstore, sees the
move to the new facility as a
good one.
The bookstore will provide a
bigger display area allowing
more space to display maga
zines, books, clothes and
display cases, Kistler said.
He pointed to rows of boxes in
the back room of the present
bookstore that will remain un
til he finds more space.
Kistler added that there is a
possibility of hiring students, to
work as cashiers.
