Prior to the addition, there were places to hang out, but none were more aesthetically pleasing than the new wing on the first floor. The computer lab is too cramped and I always feel like I am inter fering with someone's work whenever I talk to any one in there. The library has plenty of space, but is obviously not a place for spirited conversation, and the front porch of Olmsted probably is not fun for non-smokers. Now we have a beautiful wide-open hallway with comfortable places to sit, laptop computer ports, and good food. The atmosphere of Penn State Harrisburg has been greatly improved. Though I still hear complaints from former students who were promised a food court and never got one, it is great for those of us here now Look for two big screen TVs to be placed in the food court in the coming weeks, one behind Biscotti's coffee shop and another by the special events room. Peter Strella I also want to let students know about their new Student Government President, Lee Cutchall. I have worked with four SGA presidents to date, and Cutchall has been the easiest to work with out of them all. He is accessible to students because he does not hide-out in the office all the time. He already has good ideas for events and knows a lot about this campus. I encourage all students to come to him with their problems and concerns regarding this campus. He, along with the staff of Capital Times, can and will do something to help resolve any issues. FE,ekMB 3 We have plenty of good stories to be written in the coming issues. Penn State Harrisburg is expecting a couple hundred more freshmen in the Spring 2004 semester. As of then, Penn State Harrisburg will offer freshmen and sophomore level courses for all of Penn State's 160 majors. The Capital Times will follow this situation throughout the year. Also, we are hoping to write an article about the inter-collegiate sports we used to have here on campus. It will address whether or not we can bring them back. Next issue will feature an article about our campus radio station, WPSH. It is not up and running now, but we are attempting to find out when it will be. We will try to find out what will happen to Meade Heights, which is where stu dents lived on-campus until Fall 2002, when the Village opened. We will also investigate what will happen to the Lion's Den, our old cafeteria in the base ment. As of now, both places are collecting dust. We will have humorist Dave Barry columns in almost every issue, an adventure and nightlife column, intramural sports coverage, concert, album, and movie reviews, and coverage of campus events.
