By now we’ve all heard the loud racket coming from the east
wing of the Olmsted Building’s first floor. The loud construction is
causing many disturbances and inconveniences on our campus,
mainly by disrupting classes that are close by. In this issue of The
Capital Times, we voiced some of your opinions in the “Student
Speakout” on page five. For our next issue on October our
staff is working on a comprehensive feature article about the con-
struction that will hopefully address the following questions: What new facilities will we have
when the construction is finished? When will the construction be completed? How can we mini
mize the inconvteniences of the construction?
Senior SGA Senator Daniel Storm has expressed his interest in solving construction prob
lems such as distracting noise. Both he and the SGA are attempting to be responsive to the many
complaints that they have received. Readers are encouraged to contact the SGA at their new email
address, pshsga@hotmail.com. with any complaints or suggestions.
However, perhaps PSH Communications Professor Dr. Samuel Winch describes the situ
ation the best: “It’s a pain, but there’s a price to having progress. Besides, those guys are my bud
dies, they built me a new dark room [for photography classes]!”
Moving on, The Capital Times is still looking for a few good people who would like to
join our staff. If you’re a communications major, having journalism experience on your resume is
one of the most impressive credentials that employers look for. Writing for the newspaper
improves writing skills and fundamentals, which are crucial in any of the communications disci
plines whether it is journalism, public relations, broadcasting or advertising.
* As far as any other issues that need addressing, I would like to point out the SGA rebut
tle in the “Letters to the Editors” portion of the paper on the oposing page. SGA President Parul
Luthra took the time to write to us and clear up some of the misconceptions students have about
where budget money goes and why tuition was raised. Those who were on campus last year may
think that The Capital Times is once again “picking on” the SGA. This is not the case. We simply
report what we are told. The opinions in the Tuition... article (issue no. 1, Vol. 3) were those of PSH
students, not Capital Times Staff.
Ok, enough of that. We would really like your input on what we have done in these last
two issues and what we can include in the next 14. Remember, “We are the voice of PSH” and we
need you voice to make ours stronger. Also, as mentioned in the SGA Minutes below, THON is
approaching and Captimes has T-shirts for sale in our office to help benifit Four Diamonds. Please
support kids with cancer and their families. For more info on our fundraiser call, e-mail or stop in.
