We Need Child
Care Facilities
There are probably as many reasons against child
care facilities at Penn State University at Harrisburg, as
against any other program which benefits only a small
group, particularly liability insurance costs and start-up
expenses.
But, this can be said about a lot of present
campus activities, like sports for instance, that we all
accept without question. Now before you turn off, I’m
not against sports. On the contrary, I would endorse
mandatory athletic requirements for graduation. But, let's
face it, few people are going to refuse coming to Penn
State, Harrisburg because there is no sports program.
Realistically though, there are parents who put off, some
forever, coming to school because they can make no
arrangements for children. How many times have you
seen parents bringing children to classes? There are times
when you have no choice.
A child care facility would alleviate these
problems at the same time as providing an in-house
resource for the elementary education division. It's an idea
whose time has come. For Penn State to continue to be a
diversified university, it must be willing to attract
different groups, one of which is parents. Let's stop
talking, and start doing, something about it.

"Sure, and the state should pay
for it since Penn State has such a
high tuition compared to other
state schools. It's the least they
can do."
March is Women's History Month. A committee is in
the process of planning programs for the campus.
Everyone is invited to attend the meetings held every,
Wednesday, 12:00 in the Lion's Den Vault.

"I think that child care is
important but I also think that it
should be paid for by those who
use it and not every student on
campus."
