Two people showed up for the wellness seminar hosted by Martz, Penn State Harrisburg's health services coordinator. Realizing competition from the band was likely to blame for the small turnout, she decided to proceed anyway. "If you know how your body should be functioning, you can help to prevent illness," Martz said as she spoke about minor ailments common to the eyes, ears and nose.

The nearly two hour debate ended quickly when there was a call for a vote on whether or not to approve the proposal. While some faculty were ready to vote on the proposal, others said more debate was needed, calling the procedure "rushed" and "ridiculous" as they left the meeting.
