If positions are still open after the fall election, SGA can then appoint people to those positions. To fill those appointments SGA must first advertise that are positions open and take applications and screen them. The applicants are then brought before SGA, and the president makes a recommendation as to who he or she would like to see fill the open position. Then the Senate votes on the applicants. There were five ballots thrown out because they were improperly filled out. Mike Hermick, outgoing SGA president, said that the pollworkers were instructed to assist voters in filling out ballots so there would not be a large number of ballots that could not be counted. Ballots were considered invalid if a voter does not check their division, if they vote for more than two senators, or if they vote for two senators but do not vote for at least one in their division.

Lawrence Bates Capital Times Staff A solar cooking contest held April 14 at the Penn State Harrisburg Engineering Lab produced several unique cooking ovens. The contest, sponsored by the Student Activities Office and the School of Science, Engineering, and Technology, was opened to the students of MET 420 Solar Energy, and students from Penn State Harrisburg. The entries included six teams, five from MET 420 and one not enrolled in the class. Any Lau, associate professor of engineering, described the contest as "an opportunity for students to experiment with solar energy and gain an understanding of the cooking needs in a contest." "The students had to design and build a working oven with easy access materials,” Lau said. Included in the materials were PSH NEWS/5 cardboard, aluminum foil and wood. The contest featured four awards: the E.F. Schumaker Award (for the oven constructed of easy access materials), the Bucky Fuller Award (for unique, yet functional geometry), the Rube Golberg Award (for strangest contraption) and the Julia Childs Award ( for the tastiest dish). Toward the end of the contest, Lau saw it appropriate to award all six entrants a prize. Among the prizes given were a solar battery powered boat, solar powered AM/FM radio, battery charger, high efficiency compact fluorescent lamp, a sun dial paper weight, and an unknown sixth prize. The guidelines for the contest provided each student with instructions for creating a solar box which could cook 10-15 lbs. of food. The designs included one large inner box covered with aluminum foil, and a See Solar, page 10
