Although I never got directly involved with the newspaper, I always picked up a copy to get to know others on the cam pus that I wouldn't other wise have the opportunity to learn about. For Penn State Harrisburg, the newspaper is a link to student life for many commuters. To many aspiring journalists who do not have the time and/or money to do an unpaid internship, a student newspaper is vital to Official Co-editor's Retraction regarding SGA article in the Nov. 29 issue which misrepresented the Student Court at PSH Dear Co-Editors- Student Court.

What club can do this more effec tively than a student newspaper? As for Gordon Moon, who thinks that every thing must be written on a college level, I have this to say: if you'd even had read the introduction to the most basic book on journalistic writing, you'd know that profes sional papers publish material written for below the college level. It would be impractical for student writers seeking to obtain skills relevant to their profession to do oth erwise. I would also like to address the gripe about the literary journal. I was offended by Dan Zackus's comment. A sarcastic "This is w hat our money is paying for?" is an affront to the artistic endeavors made by the many contributors, including myself. If our money is considered wast ed on publishing the cre ative voices of our stu dents, I question the opin ion of our SGA. Being that my last semester is almost over, I would like to offer my thanks and appreciation to both the Capital Times and Tarnhelm Both have created a much needed link to the other students and faculty of PSU- Harrisburg.

This semester SGA will be focusing on some special issues. Dr. Graham Spanier will visit the campus and he will be meeting with students and listen ing to their concerns. The SGA will also be hosting a customer service campaign reminding the college that the reason PSH exists is because students pay to attend here. semester Since Student Government acts as the student's collective voice to the administration, those involved with SGA want to hear from you so that they can help you in any way they can. I f for any reason, you need to speak with someone from Student Government, don't hesitate to stop by Room 216 or call 948-6137.
