The Answers to "Your
Questions " •'
by Vicki Koon
Ypur answers to our second survey further our
profile of who you are. You are a bored, but humorous,
bunch who answers "idiotic" surveys for entertainment.
You were evenly split on whether or not dances
should return to 8.Y.0.8. Probably the wisest answer
was, "No, leave them at the C.U.8."
Most of you would like to see coat racks put in,
although the question of "where" popped up several times.
Some of you felt that the coat racks that we already have
are enough. A few of you would like the use of locker
space.
To the question, "Are you happy at Capital
College?" there were two strong "yes"’s and the rest was a
resounding "no." The reasons that you are not happy are
grand and petty: the atmosphere is not that of a four year
college where the instructors are interested in the lives of
the students, registration is unorganized, there is no hot
shower water in the gym, the library is too small, the
Lion’s Den is too small at noon, the lab equipment is
outdated, we are academically inferior except in
engineering, the business division stinks, there is not
enough girls and activities and nice bars around, there is
not enough free time for the students, the pool table is
bad, and not last on many of your lists - the water stinks.
The best answer to this question was, "Where is the why
for a ’yes’ answer?"
Almost all of you are anxious to see this campus
grow, and you would like to see it grow "qualitatively"
rather than "quantitatively.”
Only a few of us would rather see a theatre than a new
learning center put in the new library. And yes, a few
people did complain about the walking distance to "Outer
Mongolia" and back, but generally everyone is happy with
the H2L2 plan.
The question on registration and voting was a bit
vague. It was meant to refer to our political processes,
taVhet than getting into the only night section of Business
Law. From your answers I gather that some of you
assumed the latter, so I disqualify the evenly split
decision.
Our last question was "Why is the city of York's
bus system facing cutoff?" One of you referred to this
question as the Bonus Question. You were not only asked
to answer this question, but to answer it in the space
allowed for a five-letter word. Most of you squeezed more
than one word in this space anyway. Many of you said
that you didn't care because you drive, and live in
Middletown, besides. Only one person actually answered
the question by stating that "the working poor are not a
political force." Although this answer does justice to the
question, another answer solved the problem differently:
"The person responsible for this question should be shot!"

Model UN
(continued from pg. 1)
"People think liberation
of South Africa must come at
the barrel of a gun," said
Mokofeng. People want to
fight, but the violence is still
being avoided. "We have shed
enough blood," he said.
Most of the whites in
South Africa don't know what
Soweto is like because their
living areas are geographically
separated. However, according to
Mokofeng, "the pain (of the
unrest) is being felt by everyone.
We are still trying to get aid
from the US government If you
put pressure on them, then we
will get our aid."
The Model UN, which
is in its 15th year at Penn State,
Harrisburg, is organized by the
International Affairs Association
under the leadership of Clemmie
Gilpin, instructor of Afro-
American studies. Anne Marie
Yastishock, president of lAA
was co-director of the program
this year. The program, which
has seen continuous growth
since its inception, had 450
participants from 27 area high
schools this year.
The Model UN is
designed to promote greater
understanding of the UN and to
provide a forum for discussion of
major international issues and
concerns.
Planning for this event
begins as early as September.
Schools are sent information and
are asked to list their preference
of what country they would like
to represent. This allows each
delegation to begin preparation
early in familiarizing themselves
with all aspects of their country.
Within the framework of the
Model UN, they work to
represent their country's policies
and attain solutions for
contemporary international
problems.
This year's session
focussed on such current issues
as international terrorism,
discrimination against women,
world hunger and population
growth, and the Middle East.
