FEATURES Teams Now Forming For Spring Intramurals 1 n the last issue of The Capital Times the "Speak Out" question was "What do you feel are the key issues on campus?" Gino Pasi, an American Studies student, said he felt there was a "lack of community." I have an idea to help build a bit of community in campus: form an intramural sports team. PSH offers a couple intramural sports this spring. I challenge you to gather a group of friends or even someone you do not know—make a new friend—to pro duce an intramural sports team. Get your team started by heading over to Room 122 of the CUB. and picking up an official entry form. The team captain or a team representative must attend a cap tain's meeting. Do not forget to pick up a game schedule. Check the bulletin board in the CUB. for any possible game changes and to fmd out your team's statis tics. Questions or concerns should be directed to Bud Smitley at 948-6267 or Marilyn Demey at 948-6266. The following is a list of intramural sports now forming, along with some important dates.

Bud Schuster's serving Pennsylvania member of work for his constituents will be truly Congress, with a majority of the missed. Pennsylvania dele- gation in his own Republican Party, Congressman Bud Shuster has announced his retire ment at the end of January 2001. Shuster and his wife, Patty, are struggling with various health difficulties. Shuster 's stun ning upset in his first campaign sent him to Congress 28 years ago. Nine times he was elected with both Republican and Democratic nomina tions. Shuster said his resignation allows for a special election to choose a successor to com plete his term.
