HEY, SENIORS!!!
Do you want your college years to fade
into the woodwork? Or would you rather
treasure them in this year’s CAPITOLITE?
Last year,SGA spent money to make a
yearbook and it fell through.
WHY?
Because the senior class left it all up to
one person! Lucky for them, a Kind soul
put together a “supplement.”
SGA doen’t want to see this year’s senior
class without a yearbook, so they’re asking
for your help!

“If all goes well with the
festival, it has the potential of
becoming an annual
event,’’said Krohn.
Area artists will demonstrate

Saturday morning on the front

Krohn and Ross said they
want to provide the campus and
the community with a day of
festivities that are “both educa

“It’s been a real headache to
put together,” said Ross. “But
atleast it will be something nice
here on the weekend.”
The cost for the festival is be
ing paid for by the Greater Har
risburg Arts Council according
to Linda Ross. Most of the ex

University will establish a com

Capitol Campus according to
Penn State officials.
The center, (to be built at the
admissions building) will serve
not only Capitol Campus
students but the greater Har

Minority
enrollment

Nine international students
at Capitol Campus, of which a
couple might be considered
minorities because of their
ethnic background, represent
six different countries. The ma
jority of international student
come from Malaysia.
Penn State recruits interna
tional students through educa
tional ministries, Dave Doaty,
coordinator of international
students said. These ministries
provide the students with a list
of U.S. approved schools which
includes Penn State University,
Doaty added.

established when the center wil
open. . ,
“The community center will
serve as an outreach base for
minority students in the greater
Harrisburg area,” said yictoria
Vallestaples, director of minori
ty admissions and community
affairs, University Park.
Also, the center will be a part
of a coordinating recruitment
process with University Park,
Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh,
according to Price.
Currently, there are 16
minorities enrolled for the this
semester at Capitol Campus of
which 8 are transferees from
other campuses in the Penn
State University system.
“The Harrisburg center will
be different from the centers
located at Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh in that it will recruit
minorities within a regional
scope,” Vallestaples said. The
center will recruit students from
other counties within the South
Central Pennsylvania area, ac
cording to Vallestaples.
Since Harrisburg has a high
urban population, the universi
ty decided to' have the center at
its Middletown campus. “The
center better serves minorities
in th underdeveloped areas of
Harrisburg,” said Vallestaples.
Although the center will
focus on recruiting minority
students, “the center will pro
cess all students,” Thelma Price

“The more people you get on
campus, the more who will
enroll,” she added.
Penn State faculty and ad
ministrators will be brought to
the campus. “It’s time for an
update,” Zerby said.
Another contact day which is
designed to build awareness of
Capitol Campus' is scheduled
for high school guidance
counselors, according to Zerby.
“These people don’t know
what’s at Capitol Campus,”
she said. “There’s been very lit
tle visibility in the past. We
want to make people aware of
the many strengths here at
Capitol.”
She said these strengths in
clude job placement, location,
outstanding faculty, relatively
small size, top-notch programs
and housing options.
Zerby’s long-term goal is to
develop a program that will use
faculty and alumni to attract
new students.
“Capitol is a close-knit, car
ing community,” Zerby
said,“it has a lot to offer.”
