by Jen Dell’Alba and Beverly Halbrook
Capitol Campus professors
have received $1.5 million since

a new computer language to
women gaining self-confidence,
according to Kathryn Towns,
Associate Dean for Research.
“It’s great!” said Towns.
Capitol Campus has a 70 per
cent acceptance rate for re
quested research grants. Towns
explained that a normal success
rate is 40 percent (approval of
two out of five proposals).
Ten professors received
grants ranging from $10,340 to

The Cai
Autumn Buzz
By Maria L. Kent
An antique car show, road
rally, picnic, semi-formal and a
double feature were all a part of
this year’s Autumn Buzz Week
at Capitol Campus.
The annual event began on
Friday, October 18 and con
tinued through the weekend,
according to Student Union
Board of Governors president
Louise Kleinknecht.
This year SUBOG and the
Black Student Union sponsored
the three day event which began
with the showing of the
“Revenge of the Pink Panther”
and “The Invasion of the Body
Snatchers.” According to
Kleinknecht, approximately 25
people came to see “Pink Pan
ther”, but few people showed
up to see the “Invasion”
movie.
Autumn Buzz continued on
Saturday with a Road Rally of
about 20 different cars. The
Meade Heights Community
Council sponsored the Road
Rally. A registration fee of
three dollars was required for
each car that entered the
contest.
First and second place win
ners received prizes of $5O and
$2O. Cars finishing last receiv
ed “booby prizes”; trophies
with a “donkey’s ass” on them.
SUBOG raised funds for
future dances by selling
Autumn Buzz T-shirts. The ear
nings were split with Strohs,
who sponsored the T-shirt sale.
Kleinknecht said she was sur
prised at the turnout of the
“Dress to Impress” dance held

on Saturday from 9p.m. to
la.m. Between 100 and 150
people attended the dance
despite apprehensiefn that the
“no jeans” rule would
discourage students from atten
ding, according to Kleinknecht.
Kleinknecht said that no one
seemed to mind dressing up for
the occasion. “They really got
into dressing up,” she said,
“Some people went all out.”
A disc jockey provided enter
tainment and refreshments in
cluded hors d’oeuvres and
punch said the SUBOG
president.
The BSU and SUBOG split
50 percent of the money col
lected from the dance
festivities. The organizations
donated the other 50 percent to
the Red Cross to help the peo
ple in Ethiopia.
