Our Changing
Landscape
BY DR.TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
ORTHOSE OF YOU WHO VISITTHE WILKES CAMPUS, I'M SURE YOU'LL NOTICE
the significant improvements to our beautiful university grounds and
revitalized downtown. The Wilkes University Board of Trustees
dedicated alumni and regional leaders are working hard to improve
the campus and downtown business district. If you haven’t visited recently
you should see what you are missing! In the meantime, take a minute to read
| the cover and feature stories in this issue to gain an understanding of the
| latest developments.
£
The feature story on the new pergola demonstrates the impact an alumnus can
have on the landscape of Wilkes University. Clayton Karambelas ’49 and his
wonderful wife, Theresa, should be commended for their unique contribution of
a Greek pergola that will soon grace the Greenway next to the Alumni House.
This wonderful tribute will be enjoyed for generations by students and alumni.
For all of us here in Wilkes-Barre, the wait for a downtown bookstore has
taken a decade. But the presence of a Barnes & Noble College Superstore
near Public Square on South Main Street was worth the wait. It is everything
we had hoped for. With 20,000 square feet of retail space, this academic
superstore will serve students from King’s College, Luzerne County
Community College and Wilkes University as well as theater-goers, shoppers
and others looking to reignite downtown nightlife.
Wilkes could not have done this alone. Without close collaboration with our
friends at King’s, and without the assistance of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Business and Industry and the city and county governments, this wonderful
development would not have materialized. This is the first time that two colleges
have collaborated with Barnes & Noble to jointly operate a bookstore anywhere
in the U.S. It shows a commitment to think in new ways so we can best serve our
students and our community. I hope it is just the beginning of innovative ways to
improve student services and to lower the costs of doing business.
This issue of Universe also includes the Report of Gifts for 2005-2006. You
will find hundreds of names of alumni who, over the years, have supported
students through generous giving to scholarships and general fund needs. 1
want to personally thank each and ever}' one of you for your support. We
should all be pleased that Wilkes has raised SI million more this year than
two years ago. To reach our goal of becoming a premier university in the Mid
I
1
Atlantic Region, we will need everyone’s continued support.
The Report of Gifts also shows that Wilkes University raised 5100,000 for
student scholarships from local businesses and corporations in support of the
Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership “Outstanding Leadership Fund.
Hope to see you on campus soon. L! I

In Memory/ln Honor:
Emilio A. Marianelli '73
Made a Great Investment
Emilio Marianelli ’73 was looking
for ways to honor Dr. Umid Nejib,
who passed away in 2002 after
serving Wilkes for 37 years. Dr.
Nejib was a professor of electrical
engineering, dean of the school of
science and engineering and was
responsible for the development and
accreditation of the Doctor of
Pharmacy program.
“Let’s keep Dr. Nejib’s vision and
memory fresh for future genera
tions,” was what Emilio had in mind
when he made a generous gift to
increase the Nejib Scholarship Fund.
The funds of an endowment will
never be exhausted. Earnings from
these invested funds will provide
talented students with a chance to
realize their educational dreams.
Ninety-seven percent of our
undergraduate students receive
financial assistance from Wilkes,
and this support often makes the
difference whether a student can
attend or not.
Why not follow Marianelli’s lead
to increase Wilkes’ endowments
when you want to make a gift in
memory or in honor of a special
person in your life?

Development Office at 570-408-4300.

Fenner Quadrangle and
Residence Halls Get Facelift
As part of the university’s 20-ycar
master plan to create a green, urban
campus, an additional 3.2 acres of
green space is being added to the
Fenner Quadrangle, making “the
quad" a more inviting, student
friendly place. Expansion and
landscaping of the green space is
expected to be completed by the
end of the year.
An artist renderingj depicts Delaware and
Chesapeake residen
:nce hall renovations.
The project coincides with a
SI.5 million renovation of the
Delaware and Chesapeake
residence halls, which are located
at the north end of the quad. The
renovation project will add 12 beds,
a sprinkler system, central air
conditioning, a center skylight and
Wi-Fi capabilities, plus new
furniture, lighting and windows to
the halls. While under
construction, the university is
leasing housing around the Wilkes
campus until the buildings reopen
for the 2007-08 academic year.
Other residence halls arc slated for
improvement or renovations over
the next 15 years.

The campus is getting greener thanks to expansion of the Fenner Quadrangle.
The Evans Hall parking lot was
removed to make room for greenway
expansion. Parking has shifted to the
new University Center on Main
parking garage in the 100 block of
South Main Street. Another element
to the project is construction of a
pergola, a canopied walkway, made
possible by a gift from alumnus
Clayton Karambelas ’49 and his wife
Theresa. Read more about the
pergola on pages 16-17.
Wilkes Purchases High-Rise
Apartment Complex
Wilkes University officials recently
announced they have reached an
agreement of sale to purchase
University Towers, a 130-unit
apartment building located at 10 E.
South Street in Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes
will purchase the building for
S8.2 million from JPJR Ten E. South
Tower, LP, an affiliate of Trivest
Realty Group, LLC of Washington
Crossing, Pa.
The acquisition will solidify the
university’s presence as an anchor to
the downtown business district. In
line with its master and strategic
plans, the university will eventually
reduce its presence in the neighbor
hoods south of the campus and
support downtown economic devel
opment while creating increas-

ingly advantageous living/leaming
environments at the university.
“This is an extraordinary move for
Wilkes," said Dr. Tim Gilmour,
Wilkes president. “Wilkes will serve
its students better, enhance
residential living options and
further the reputation that WilkesBarre is a college town.”
About half of the University
Towers’ 205 occupants are students,
according to Scott Byers, vice
president for finance and support
operations. “There will be absolutely
no changes in the mix of tenants in
the near future,” he said.
Wilkes has had students
residing at University Towers
for the past three years in
what Dr. Paul Adams,
vice president for
students affairs, has described as “a
remarkably successful living
arrangement that has blended gener
ations in the same living space.
“This was a particularly
attractive option for the university
since University Towers is the
preferred living space for our oncampus students,” Adams said.
University Towers currently has
the capacity to house 405 students,
doubling the number of occupants
and further increasing the number
of residents living in the WilkesBarre business district. The
university does not anticipate
reaching maximum occupancy for
several years.
Wilkes will be able to offer
student programming to a much
larger audience, including support
for mentoring and studying activ
ities that are intended to increase
student success. The college will no
longer need to rent residential space
from private landlords and will sell

Colleges Connect
Students Online
BY JANET KORNBLUM, USATODAY
Andrew Seaman has a few jitters about
going to college for the first time later
this month. But upperclassmen already
have made him feel better—and he's
never even met them face to face.
Seaman, who will attend Wilkes
University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., has
inquired about student politics and
dorm living on HelioWilkes, a private
network the school created this year
for incoming freshmen.
"The other kids were able to put my
mind at ease that the dorm rooms are
livable," says Seaman, 18, of Forest
Hill, Pa.They've also doled out advice
on how to get involved in student
government.
Without the site, "I would've been
more nervous," he says.
To better communicate with a gener
ation that socializes online on websites
such as MySpace and Facebook, many
colleges are launching into the social
networking frenzy.
More than a dozen so far have
created private sites with features
from profiles to bulletin boards and
information areas.
"In a year or two virtually every
college will have something like
this," says Steve Jones, communica
tions professor at the University of
Illinois, Chicago.
The reason is "obvious," he says.
"This has become such a familiar
mode of communication for
teenagers; it's basically meeting them
on their own turf. It makes it more
comfortable to get information they
might not otherwise get."
Administrators say they use the
sites both to market their schools to
potential students and to put new
freshmen at ease.
Students find out about the sites in
a variety of ways — from e-mail and
postal mail invitations to orienta
tions. Most schools feature
prominent links promoting the sites
on their main university websites.
"We realized that in order to
communicate truly effectively to
students we needed a medium that
they are already accustomed to," says
Mark Sikes, assistant dean of students
at the College of William & Mary in
Williamsburg, Va., which created a site
for freshman this year.
Along with message boards that
allow students to connect, the site
acts as a clearinghouse for all sorts of
information on everything from
classes to regional culture and events.
College networking sites vary.
Some are little more than message
boards, others have areas where
students can write full profiles and
communicate with each other like
they do on MySpace and Facebook.
And judging by the traffic at some
sites, students are using them. At
William & Mary, for instance, 1,500 of
the 1,600 newly admitted students
have logged on in the past month,
Sikes says.
Other schools with new networking
sites this year include Harrisburg (Pa.)
University of Science andTechnology;
Marietta (Ohio) College; Wellesley
(Mass.) College; Purchase (N.Y.)
College and Seton Hall University in
South Orange, N.J.
"Universities need to be where
people are," says Cheryl Brown,
director of undergraduate admissions
for Binghamton (N.Y.) University,
which also has a new site.
Seaman and his friend, Stephanie
Gerchman, also an incoming Wilkes
freshman, say HelloWilkes makes
connections and answers questions.
Gerchman, for instance, got advice
from upperclassmen to choose
psychology as her minor.
Some kids like the idea of
"advance networking" so much
that they are even taking a do-ityourself approach.
Gerchman says she prefers
MySpace and Facebook because they
allow her to directly contact friends.
HelloWilkes has an area to post
personal profiles and to weigh in on
predesignated topics, such as dorm
living and studying, but there's no
built-in spot for e-mail addresses or
instant-messaging names.
So she created her own space on
MySpace, based on the HelloWilkes
site, open to incoming Wilkes
students. She also uses Facebook,
and already has a movie night
planned for the beginning of the
school year with another Wilkes
student she met there.
Some colleges use college-oriented
Facebook rather than building their
own sites.
"Why re-invent the wheel?" says
Christopher Oertel, director of
residential life for the College of Saint
Rose in Albany, N.Y. He created a
Facebook page for his department to
reach out to incoming freshmen.
"We're taking advantage of what's
provided for us."
Some worry that creating their own
online networks could create legal
problems. "If we exercise prior review
or censorship, we're going to invite a
whole new series of litigations," says
Michael Bugeja, director of the
Greenlee School of Journalism and
Communication at Iowa State
University in Ames.
But by and large, students' contribu
tions are valuable, administrators say.
"If you want the authenticity and
true voice of the students, you have to
be willing to take the bad with the
good," says Binghamton's Brown. "On
occasion, something sneaks in where
we go, 'gulp.' And so far we have
been pretty open about letting our
students' comments stand as is.
"For students, these really are
social connections," she says. "If we
want to connect with our students and
have them connect with each other,
we need to be taking advantage of
this medium."

WILKES UNIVERSITY
BY JOHN SEITZINGER
HE WILKES UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS
Hall of Fame inducted its
14th class in a ceremony on
Saturday. Oct. 8 on the
Wilkes campus.
The Hall of Fame was established
in 1993 to honor those players,
coaches and other non-partici
pating individuals who have made
outstanding contributions to
athletics at Bucknell Junior
College, Wilkes College and
Wilkes University.
Neil Dadurka '57
The late Neil Dadurka was a
three-sport participant during his
collegiate days at Wilkes.
On the field, Dadurka garnered
four varsity letters in wrestling and
helped the team post a 28-11-2
record. As a senior, he was one of
the Colonels team captains and led
the unit to its first Middle Atlantic
Conference (MAC) championship.
Dadurka had an individual record
of 8-3 during his final campaign,
playing a critical role as the squad
J
posted their first unbeaten season by
going 10-0-1.
Dadurka was also a four-year
member of the Colonels football
team, and played on the first varsity
golf team at Wilkes in 1957.
Dadurkas leadership skills were
evident. He served as the president of
the senior class in 1957, and was the
president of the Letterman’s Club.
Dadurka was also the vice president
of his sophomore class in 1955 and

was selected to Who’s Who in
American Colleges and Universities.
Karen (Olney) Hazleton '78
Karen (Olney) Hazleton was a
four-year member of the women’s
basketball team from 1974 through
1978, while also earning two varsity
letters in softball during the 1977
and 1978 seasons.
On the basketball court, Hazleton
was a top point producer during
each of her four seasons. She set
what was then a school record by'
amassing 731 points during her
basketball career. As a sophomore,
she earned a berth on the
Northeastern Pennsylvania Women’s
Intercollegiate Athletic Association
all-star team after leading Wilkes
with 212 points. She was voted as
the Lady' Colonels Most Valuable
Player in both 1976 and 1978, and
served as the team’s captain during
her senior year.
Hazleton also excelled during her
two seasons on the softball diamond.
A pitcher for the Lady Colonels,
she was named to the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Women’s Intercollegiate
Athletic Association all-star squad as
a senior and was voted the team’s
Most Valuable Play'er.
Kim Kaskel '96
A four-year member of the field
hockey team from 1992 through
1995, Kaskel helped Wilkes win

Bob Wachowski '89
No one in the history' of Wilkes
University athletics could energize
and unite a student body as
effectively as Wachowski. Affection
ately known as “Colonel Bob,”
Wachowski spent four seasons as
the mascot al Wilkes, serving in that
capacity' from 1987 through 1989,
and again from 1992 through 1994.
A true ambassador of athletics at
Wilkes, Wachowski always found a
way to make a grand entrance. Many
times he would arrive to an athletic
event riding his eight-foot unicycle.
Other times, he might be seen riding
his go-cart with a dummy dressed in
opponent's colors dragging behind.
He arrived at Homecoming one year
riding a horse, while yet another
time he landed on Ralston Field
in a helicopter.
Wachowski would even show
up at opposing sites, unicycle and
all, to provide inspiration during a
key game.
Wachowski was so popular that
he was asked to serve as the student
speaker at Commencement in both
1989 and 1994. He also served as
the student speaker at the
dedication of the Arnaud C. Marts

serves the needs of the general

floors of the former Woolworth’s

creating approximately 20,000
square feet of retail space.
The first floor of the historic
building looks like a traditional
Barnes & Noble store with
newspapers, magazines and a wide

an 84-seat, full-service Barnes &

Maloney explained that the term
"academic superstore" is used to
describe a store that is a mixture of a
traditional Barnes & Noble store
and a college bookstore. "An
academic superstore is typically
located on the edge of campus." he
said. "It brings the university and
community together in a different
way. improving relationships
between the two. It's a wonderful
vehicle to create that bridge between
'town' and ‘gown.’"
!
"This is the
largest single
retail project
in Wilkes-Barre
in 30 years.
It's a huge step
for downtown
Wilkes-Barre."
Barnes & Noble currently operates
more than 570 college bookstores.
Of those, nearly 50 are academic
superstores like the one in WilkesBarre. The Bames & Noble
bookstore in Wilkes-Barre joins an
impressive list of colleges and
universities with academic super
stores on the edge of campus or
close to town, including Southern
Methodist University, University of
Pennsylvania, The Ohio State
University. Yale University, Georgia
Tech, DePaul University and
Dartmouth College.
“The academic superstore that
Barnes & Noble brings to WilkesBarre is centered around the needs of
the campus with a mix of retail to it.”
14
Byers said. "The former bookstore
campus was 3,000 square feet. The
Bames & Noble bookstore will be six
times larger at about 20,000 square
feet. The company brings an
expertise that is second to none. It is
a well-recognized brand known for
its quality.”
Community Reactions
The downtown bookstore is a key
piece in the overall strategy to
revitalize downtown, and the
community has been embracing it.
“The reaction has been
unbelievably positive,” Lohman
said. “This is the largest single
retail project in Wilkes-Barre in 30
years. Barnes & Noble brings a
nationally recognized retail store to
town, adding to part of the fabric of
downtown. It's a huge step for
downtown Wilkes-Barre.”
“For a long time, people asked
why downtown Wilkes-Barre is not
more of a college town,” Newman
said. “There are 6,500 college
students here, but traditionally,
there was a divide between ‘town’
and ’gown.’ That divide is rapidly
disappearing."
Gilmour said feedback from
students, faculty and staff when the
bookstore was officially announced
in August 2006 was very positive.
"Overall, there is genuine enthu
siasm to having Barnes & Noble
bookstore,” he said. “Students will
have to walk a little farther to get
their books, but they’ll be walking
there a lot as other businesses
open. Once they walk the two
blocks and come to the bookstore,
they’ll enjoy it.”
Jenna Strzelecki, a senior business
administration student and
president of student government at
Wilkes, said the new Barnes &
Noble bookstore will help current
and future Wilkes students and
make a good addition to the city. "It
gives students the opportunity to get
down to the center of Wilkes-Barre
and see what’s beyond the Wilkes
campus, giving them a different
perspective of the city,” she said.
“Since it’s a joint bookstore, it gives
Wilkes students a chance to get to
know King’s people more and vice
versa. There is a little bit of a rivalry
place where the community could
go and congregate. It does much
more than provide required educa
tional materials.”
In addition to offering books,
magazines and school merchandise,
the Barnes & Noble location
provides another positive place to
hang out in Wilkes-Barre.
“Approximately 14,000 people live
and work downtown,” Byers said.
“People can go there at lunchtime,
shop and have a cup of coffee. It’s
another level of service that couldn't
have happened without this collabo
ration. The bookstore helps to
further revitalize Wilkes-Barre by
giving more things to do during the
week and weekend for students and
members of the community."
Competitors Collaborate
When discussing this new
bookstore, the word heard most
often from Wilkes and King’s admin
istrators, Chamber officials and
between the two schools because
we’re located so close, but the
bookstore is a good idea.”
The bookstore helps faculty and
members of the community as well
as students, Maloney said. “A
tremendous amount of books are
available to them,” he said. “It gives
them a place to come together.
Some faculty members may

oration. Despite being in-city rivals
who compete for students and wins
on the sports field, Wilkes and
King’s were able to come together.
“Collaboration was crucial,”
Gilmour said. “We had a real desire
to create this bookstore and felt it
was a real value to our students. We
[Wilkesl couldn’t do it alone, but we
[Wilkes and King's] could do it
together. Both of us can be so much
stronger if we collaborate.”
Setting aside the rivalry was not
difficult. Byers said. "The bookstore
is part of the first wave of opportu
nities to collaborate and benefit
both universities,” he said.
“Students at Wilkes and King’s
interact a lot now, but this helps
solidify those interactions.”
A New Wilkes-Barre
Gilmour believes that the project is
much more than a bookstore; it is
part of an effort to revitalize
downtown Wilkes-Barre. “There is
a definite feeling that this will be a
major step forward in the city’s
revitalization,” Gilmour said.
“With Barnes & Noble moving in,
it signals to other retailers that
Wilkes-Barre is a vibrant town.”
Strzelecki said the bookstore
is good for the city and its future.
“Economically for the city, it was
needed,” she said. "The new
bookstore will draw a lot more
people in from surrounding
areas to Wilkes-Barre. By
bringing people in, it gives
| Wilkes-Barre a jumpstart for
revitalization and could help
bring in other businesses."
Byers cites three reasons
this new bookstore is
important to Wilkes and the city.
“First, it’s Barnes & Noble—we
attracted a world-class retailer,” he
said. “Second, we couldn't have
done this on our own. Third, the
bookstore serves to further revitalize
the city, which is critical to the long
term success of the city and the
university. We can’t act as an island
and not be active with our city."
Maloney said he is happy to be a
part of the redevelopment of the
city. “1 think the bookstore is a
wonderful thing for Wilkes-Barre,”
he said. “These two institutions of
higher education located half a mile
apart were able to come together
and make this happen. The store
will celebrate the rebirth of WilkesBarre and the two schools. I hope
it’s a place that the community
takes pride in.
“I’m very happy to be a part of
this. I’m verj’ proud that we [Barnes
& Noble] were selected. And I’m
ver)' optimistic about the bookstore
and the future of Wilkes-Barre."
Wilkes alumni who have not
returned to Wilkes-Barre in a few
years may be surprised at how the
city has changed. “The difference
is amazing, and alums will be
pleasantly surprised even if their
last visit was three or four years
ago,” Gilmour said. “You have a
Barnes & Noble, a 14-screen
movie theater and night club that
have changed the character of
South Main Street significantly.
South Main is much more lively
and attractive."
Lohman said alums will see a new
Wilkes-Barre that they haven't seen
before. "They’ll sec a cleaner, brighter
and vibrant Wilkes-Barre that they
haven't seen in decades." H1

Piece of Ancient Greece
Special couple's vision for campus is becoming a reality

thanks to Clayton '49 and
I
Theresa Karambelas.
As the focal point of Wilkes’ new
Greenway project, which also
includes landscaping, a formal
walkway and a volleyball court,
Clayton and Theresa have donated a
beautiful pergola. Located next to
the Alumni House and behind
Breiseth Hall, construction of the
pergola will begin later this year
with trelliswork and Greek-style
columns that will be filled with
colorful flowers and climbing vines
in the spring.
f
“The pergola is such a nice anchor
for the Greenway," Clayton said. “As
a classic Greek structure, it is a
fitting gift from my wife, Theresa,
and I since my family is from Greece
and her family is from Italy, where
pergolas began."
A rare architectural structure for
college campuses, the Karambelas
pergola is even more unique because
it features a stage for outdoor
theatrical performances, concerts or
gatherings. The pergola is approxi
mately 56 feet long and 15 feet wide
and can be used for an unlimited
number of activities—from
weddings to relaxing in the shade.
's'
“As we worked with the architect
to develop the construction plans
we wanted to lake the idea of a
pergola and modernize it so
students would take full advantage
of it,” Theresa said. “We wanted it
to be a quiet place to contemplate
and escape but also be in the heart
of the campus. Since we didn’t
want it to just occupy space, I
think incorporating the stage was
the best idea. That way, the uses for
it are unlimited."
Marty Williams, vice president of
advancement, agrees. “The concept
of the Greenway was to improve the
space around the Alumni House and
create an environmentally friendly,
ceremonial place,” Williams said.
“The pergola is a great addition to
the university and is a strong
reminder of the power of
architecture and ideas.

drivers on River Street apprised of
the latest happenings around
campus and the community.
“I thought the sign was a good
idea because if I wanted to know
what’s happening around Wilkes,
other people probably do, too,”
Clayton said. “Theresa and I live
only a mile or so away from

students, we wanted to stay

money to Wilkes each year. “As a

he said. “After all, the university can't

How it AH Started
Since his undergraduate years,
Clayton has been extremely active at
Wilkes. Graduating in 1949 with a
bachelor's degree in commerce and
finance, Clayton was president of
Student Council and of the
Thespians. He also was an athlete.
He was on the university's first
wrestling team, first tennis team and
was the coach and co-captain of the
first swimming team.
“And he’s still a social butterfly,”
Theresa added.
Now married 39 years and retired,

eventually formed an affinity for the
university, its wrestling team and
ultimately all things Wilkes.
Community Involvement
In addition to being involved at
Wilkes University, Clayton and
Theresa also are active within their
community and the Greek Orthodox
Church in Wilkes-Barre.
Clayton has always lived within one
mile from the university. For several
years after college, he ran a restaurant
and candy shop that his father and
uncle started in 1923 called The
Boston Restaurant and Candy Shop.
After he sold the business in 1973, he
started C.K. Coffee Service and
continued to grow that company for
more than 30 years. With these
businesses and his involvement with
charities, Clayton is a prominent
member of the community.
“We’re really excited for the new
things happening at Wilkes and in
Wilkes-Barre," Theresa said. "We

Building a
Great Wilkes
BY DR.TIM GILMOUR, WILKES UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
T'S HARDTO BELIEVE, BUT I’M ENTERING MY SIXTH YEAR AS PRESIDENT OF WILKES
University. And it has been such an honor and pleasure to serve.
When 1 accepted the presidency, 1 knew Wilkes was unique. It was unique
because of its commitment to students and its active involvement in the
gion’s development. My thought at the time — and even more so today__is
that these are the very qualities that die colleges of the future must possess.
Building on these qualities over the past five years, we have become an
even stronger institution. With the help of the entire university community, we
have defined mentoring as the way we connect with and challenge our students,
grown our enrollments by 30 percent, developed exciting new academic
programs, begun to revitalize the campus, provided more competitive
compensation and strengthened our finances — all things to be celebrated.
But as our journey to greater strength has progressed, there has been a surpris
ing but significant turn of events. Without explicitly planning it, we have shifted
from being an institution that was working hard to be very good to one that has
the potential to be truly great. But to be great is even harder work and it involves
significant change. The university community is rising to the challenge, but we
are talking about change and it is both threatening and difficult. As one trustee
recently said to me, “1 admire your ambitions for Wilkes, but I’m not sure every
one has the faith in Wilkes you do.” I responded, “That’s my challenge — to help
as many as I can see the enormous opportunities before Wilkes and to believe we
can realize them.”
I know building a great Wilkes University will not be easy. But I also know
that the opportunities before us far outweigh any risks we might face. We will
need the help of our alumni — your talent, time and treasure — more than ever.
As heartening as the news about Wilkes is the progress in Wilkes-Barre. My
fitness program centers on walking around the campus and town. Lately, I’ve
been feeling like a sidewalk superintendent to an awakening city. It is exhilarat
ing. Its not just the projects about to be completed or underway — the new 14
screen theatre, the renovation of the Sterling Hotel, the development of the river
front, the installation of new streetlights, or the plans of local retailers to expand
or upgrade their establishments. It's the significant shift in tone and attitude
among those with whom 1 work. There is a growing sense that our city will soon
become a lovely, artsy college town on the Susquehanna.
I have to tell you it’s fun to walk around campus and town and feel this sense
of optimism and possibility. And it’s even more inspiring to have the role 1 have
been dealt in all of this. Come to Homecoming this fall and see it all — you
so proud of your alma mater, nestled in a great, reawakening city and in the
process of defining a vital role for itself in the 21st century. L! I

The Gift of a Lifetime
Wilkes University's development office is offering personalized illustrations
of how a gift annuity could work for you. It may be just what you are
looking for to combine your charitable giving with your income needs.
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY IS A
t % simple contract between
you and Wilkes
K
* University. In
exchange for your irrevocable gift
of cash, securities or other assets,
Wilkes agrees to pay one or two
annuitants you name a fixed sum
each year for life. The older your
designated annuitants are at the
time of the gift, the greater the fixed
income Wilkes University can agree
to pay. In most cases, part of each
payment is tax-free, increasing each
payments after-tax value.
Seven Benefits of
a Gift Annuity
1. Fixed and Secure Income for Life
Your payment rate will be locked
in at the time you obtain your gift
annuity. It will not rise or fall with
the economy. Instead, it will be
the same amount every year_
and that can mean a lot in
uncertain times.
2. Attractive Rates
When you compare Wilkes
University's gift annuity rates with
what you might receive from a
savings account or certificate of
deposit, you will likely be
pleasantly surprised.
3. Regular Payments
When you establish your gift
annuity, you decide how often you
want to receive your payments.
Whether you choose to receive
checks or direct deposits every'
quarter, semiannually' or only
once-a-year, whatever you choose,
receiving your regular payments
on a specific, predetermined date
is comforting and helpful for
planning purposes.
4. Lifetime Benefit
Gift annuities are for life. No
alter what your age now or how
long you live, payments will
continue right to the very- end
This benefit of ongoing payments
can provide security for you as
you grow older.
5. Dependable Source
Wilkes University stands behind
all our gift annuities. We have a
reserve fund set aside to meet our
obligations. We want you to feel
safe and secure and to have
confidence that your payments
will continue without fail.
6. Relieffrom Taxes
Since part of y'our contribution
for a gift annuity is considered a
charitable gift by the IRS, you will
receive an income tax charitable
deduction to apply on an
itemized return. Also, during
your lifetime, you will be able to
claim part of the annuity payment
as tax-free income.
7. Simple Process
Obtaining a gift annuity from
Wilkes University is easy. We
provide you with a tailor-made
illustration and materials you can
share with your family' and
advisor(s).
For further information about
Wilkes University’s gift annuity
program, use the postcard reply

last forever.

Oct. 11, 2006, marks the 60th anniversary of intercol
legiate football at Wilkes, part of the revival of intercol
legiate sports at what was then Bucknell University
Junior College (BUJC) following the end of World War 11.
The establishment of a football team was a major
undertaking. The college did not have a coach, property
suitable for practice or game play, or any football
equipment. These problems were solved quickly. George
Ralston was recruited from the college's Veteran's Guidance
Center staff to coach the team. An arrangement was made
with nearby Kingston High School to use its field on
weekends when Kingston was playing away games. Lastly,
Wilkes-Barre city officials gave their permission to use the
field in Kirby Park for the team's practices.
The team was assembled and organized in less than six
weeks. The players were all student volunteers, the
majority being veterans of World War 11. At the same
time, other enterprising students showed their support
for the new team. A pre-game pep rally was scheduled
along the dike, and one student named Reese Pelton
organized a band to support the athletic events.
The first football team played six games with various
junior college level teams. It gave up only two
touchdowns and finished the season undefeated. The
combined season score was BUJC - 95, opponents - 12.
As an article in the 1947 BUJC Yearbook noted, "Rarely
docs a football team make such an imposing start.”

Alumnus Flies American
Flag Over Iraq For Wilkes
Football Team
This spring, Wilkes University
welcomed home a hero. U.S. Air
Force Captain Tom Yeager ’96
returned to campus for the first time
in more than six years to make a
special presentation to the Wilkes
football team. An F-15 fighter pilot,
Yeager flew an American flag over
Iraq on a recent mission for
Operation Iraqi Freedom. He
presented the flag, along with a
mission certificate, to head football
coach Frank Sheptock and more
than 80 members of the football
team who turned out to meet and
welcome the captain. The flag will
fly at Ralston Field during the fall
sports season.
Yeager, who credits his experiences
as a student athlete and coach
Sheptock for providing him with the
leadership skills necessary to be a
good soldier, spoke to the team about
his career as a pilot, the war on
terrorism and the importance of team
building, leadership and mentorship.
“Wilkes University’ was a building
block to where 1 am today,” Yeager
said. “I feel my time on the football
field with fellow teammates and the
leadership of coach Sheptock
mirrors everyday’ life as an Air Force
fighter pilot.”
Yeager also showed the team a

■ observer of issues
affecting our global world. So it
was with great pleasure that I took
advantage of an opportunity to
meet and interview Wilkes alumnus
Fred Gedrich ’73 during a recent
trip to Washington, D.C. Fred is a
former U.S. Department of Defense
and State Department official who
is now a foreign policy expert and
national security analyst.
In his 28 years of government
sen ice, Fred traveled throughout
the United States and to U.S.
missions in more than 50 countries.
He has also attended UN World
Summits in Monterrey, Mexico and
Johannesburg. South Africa.
Fred has appeared on the BBC,
CNN, Fox News Channel and
MSNBC and has been a guest on
hundreds of radio stations
throughout the country discussing
U.S. relations with other countries
and international organizations as
well as the global war on terror. An
accomplished writer, his articles
have been published and used by
United Press International, Le
Monde, CBS News, The Miami
Herald, American Enterprise
Institute Magazine and National
Review. He is also a contributing
author to “War Footing: 10 Steps
America Must Take to Prevail in
the War for the Free World.”
Fred splits his time working as
executive vice president for
MobilVox, Inc., a software
engineering and wireless
technology firm.
For this cover story, Fred shared
his informed opinions on a number
of topics affecting our country’s
national security and political
landscape, including the war in
Iraq, global terrorism, national
security, freedom and democracy,
and the state of our post-9/11 world.
Q - Tell ns about how you moved
from a Willies graduate to the State
Department in the 1980s to a
foreign polity analyst now?
i
A - After graduating from Wilkes in
1973,1 accepted a position with the
Department of the Navy. I trans
ferred to the Department of Defense
in 1983 after receiving a master’s
degree from Central Michigan
University. At Defense, my duties
included evaluating major aircraft,
missile, shipbuilding and space
programs. In 1987,1 moved to the
U.S. State Department. My first
assignment at State took me to Paris,
Warsaw and Nairobi. Some other
notable assignments included
Beijing during the Tiananmen
Square Massacre, Beirut under
hostile conditions, several African
countries undergoing political and
economic turmoil, Haiti during the
embargo, and the newly
independent states in the former
Soviet Union shortly after the
collapse of the communist empire.
Many of those experiences, as well
as my strong interest in U.S.
national security and foreign policy
issues, opened the doors to radio
and television appearances and
publication in the print media after
my retirement from federal service.
Q — On to the hard questions. In
your opinion, can the United States
win the war in Iraq?
A - Certainly. However, final victory
will require continued patience,
resolve and sacrifice by the U.S. and
its allies, and the bravery and
commitment of millions of Iraqis
thirsting for freedom, liberty and
peace after enduring decades of
abuse, oppression and war under the
tight-fisted rule of Saddam Hussein.
Unfortunately, the quick military
victory over Saddam’s regime by
coalition forces has not quelled the
violence in Iraq. Much of the
mayhem is being perpetrated by
several thousand foreign terrorists
loyal to al Qaeda’s Sunni-bred
terrorists Osama bin Laden and Abu
Musab al Zarqawi and about 20,000
Saddam loyalists. Operating mostly
in four Sunni Triangle provinces,
they use asymmetric warfare tactics
in contravention of Geneva conven
tions and protocols by hiding in
civilian populations, wearing
civilian clothes, and deliberately
targeting innocents, mostly Shi’a, for
slaughter. Nonetheless, 14 of Iraq’s
other provinces, possessing Iraq’s
substantial oil reserves, are relatively
secure and improving economically.
Iraq’s three free elections last year
and recent formation of a
permanent, unified government
representing the country’s three
major groups strongly suggests the
terrorists and insurgents will
eventually fail. Freedom and
democracy will not come easy to
Iraq. Its neighbors include the
terrorist states of Iran and Syria and
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In those
countries, the concept of individual
liberty is disdained and conditions
allow groups like al Qaeda to gestate
among the populations.
Q — How long will and should the
U.S. military be in Iraq?
A - However long the U.S.
considers it to be in our national
security interest. In 1998, President
Clinton made it U.S. policy, by
signing the Iraq Liberation Act, to
depose Saddam Hussein's regime. In
2002, Congress voted overwhelm
ingly to pass the “Joint Resolution
to Authorize the use of U.S. Armed
Forces Against Iraq." It chronicles

Both chambers of Congress recently
voted to reaffirm the U.S.
commitment to the Iraqi people. In
the three years that have elapsed
since the U.S.-led coalition forcibly
removed the Hussein regime from
power, Iraq has regained its sover
eignty, held three free elections,
and formed a permanent constitu

achievement occurred in consid
erably less time, and with far fewer
casualties for the U.S., than
occurred during another era in
Germany, Japan and South Korea.

Truman's leadership and foresight,

suggesting, would be viewed as

Syria and North Korea. A premature
departure would also put
Americans, Iraqis and citizens of
other countries at greater risk by
ceding this resource-abundant
country to enemies who would like
nothing more than to turn it into a
terrorist-haven and totalitarian state.
Q - Has the U.S. presence in Iraq
distracted us from dismantling al
Qaeda and finding Osama bin
Laden who is thought to be in
hiding in Afghanistan?
A - No. Al Qaeda reportedly has
cells in more than 60 countries,
including Iraq. And the group has
deliberately attacked and killed
innocents in the U.S. and Iraq and
also in places like Bali, Beirut,
Casablanca. Dar es Salaam, Istanbul,
Jakarta. Jerusalem. London, Madrid,
Nairobi and Riyadh. Since 9/11, the
U.S., with the assistance of allies,
has reportedly been able to capture
or kill more than two-thirds of al
Qaeda's leadership including the
groups chief planner of the 9/11
attacks. Sheik Mohammed, and its
leader in Iraq, the late al Zarqawi.
Regarding bin Laden’s whereabouts,
various intelligence reports have
him hiding in Afghanistan, Iran,
Pakistan or Yemen. While it is
important that he be eventually
brought to justice for attacks on the
U.S. and other crimes against
humanity, he has become increas
ingly irrelevant to the war, mainly
because it does not appear that
present circumstances allow him to
exercise direct command and
control authority over his terrorist
network.
Q — Will the Iraq war remain a
polarizing issue in the U.S. and
allied countries?
A - Yes. Having two major U.S.
political parties guarantees
passionate differences on war and
peace decisions and constant
challenges to administration policy.
That is precisely how our political
system works. And it sends a
powerful message to friend and foe
alike that our country's disagree
ments are settled at the ballot box
S-aaaas
and in congressional chambers
through civil discourse and the
rule of law - rather than the dark
places inhabited by some of the
world’s most sinister forces where
scores are customarily settled by
bombs, bullets and terrorism.
However, I do not expect the
political rifts which occurred
between some Free World
countries over Iraq to continue.
France and Germany, two major
critics of the U.S.-led military
intervention in Iraq, are now
working closely with the U.S. to
prevent the terrorist state of Iran
from developing a nuclear weapons
program.
Q - You’ve traveled extensively to
more than 50 foreign countries,
two UN Summits and have been at
the epicenter of many world events.
Is American hatred or resentment
on the rise?
A - On a government-togovernment basis, I would answer
the question in the affirmative.
According to Freedom House - a
democracy focused group co
founded by Eleanor Roosevelt the 191 member-nations of the UN
are split into two main groups: 87
free nations and 104 nations that
are not. The latter group includes
45 of the most oppressive regimes
and human rights abusers in the
world and the six countries desig
nated by the U.S. as terrorist
states. Most UN members,
including some of our putative
Free World allies in Europe like
France, do not like the U.S. status
as Free World leader and President
Bush’s stated national security
strategy of defeating global
terrorism by promoting and
expanding global freedom and
democracy and using pre-emptive
force to eliminate threats to
U.S. security. And they collectively
show their disdain for the U.S. by
collectively voting against U.S.
supported positions in the general
assembly about 75 percent of the
time on important issues such as
terrorism, arms control, and
human rights. However, from the
perspective of the estimated 2.3
billion people living under
oppression and another billion or
so living in abject poverty in
developing countries, the answer
is quite different. If given the
chance, the vast majority of
[oppressed people] would migrate
to the U.S. in a nanosecond. The
long lines customarily seen at
overseas U.S. consulate offices
offer the best proof of their
feelings toward the United States.
In their eyes, the U.S. is a bastion
of freedom and the land of hope
and opportunity.
Q - Five years after the September
11th attacks, in your opinion, wliat

security in the U.S.?

building on its commitment to
mentoring with the introduction of
a new e-Mentoring program for
incoming freshmen.
“Wilkes’ e-Mentoring program is
designed to give all freshmen a
student-level outlet for advice both
online and face-to-face," said Philip
Ruthkosky, director of student
development. “As the transition
from high school to college often
presents a difficult blend of
academic, social and cultural
challenges, this program is intended
to help in the transition and provide
a supportive environment for
academic and personal growth."
For their first semester at Wilkes,
each new student is paired with an
e-Mentor from a similar major. In
May, the incoming freshmen
received a personalized letter from
their e-Mentor offering support and
inviting them to contact them with
questions or concerns prior to
orientation. “This is one of the more
exciting and unique elements of the
program," Ruthkosky added.
“Incoming freshmen will have
access to students before they arrive
on campus. While still in high
school, they are learning from the
experiences of their e-Mentors,
asking questions and learning about
topics that normally wouldn’t arise
until they've moved on campus.
“Based on the amount of infor
mation they are receiving early on,
this may be the most knowledgeable:
freshman class to ever enter
Wilkes,” Ruthkosky said.
Capitalizing on the popularity of
social networks like MySpace and
Facebook, the cornerstone of the eMentoring program is the Freshman
Mentoring Network, an online
community designed exclusively for
freshmen. The Freshman Mentoring
Network is a non-intimi
dating place for students to
send confidential notes to
£
their e-Mentors, post
discussion topics on
message boards, access
academic support resources
and receive tips on common
first-year challenges such as
time management,
roommate relations and
studying skills.
“The e-Mentoring
platform is great because it marries
mentoring with an online
component that today’s students are
already savvy and comfortable
with,” said Mark Allen, dean of
students. “It sends a clear message
to our new students that mentoring
is part of the culture at Wilkes and
they will be provided with that
support right from the beginning."
To help develop the e-Mentoring
program, a survey was conducted
last year to gather the thoughts,
concerns, suggestions and experi
ences of the then-freshman class.
The survey results showed that twothirds of the students believe they
would have benefited from a mentor
during their freshman year. Their
feedback also was used as topics on
the Freshman Mentoring Network
message boards about common
first-year issues.

With such a positive response
from the student body, it was not
hard to recruit mentors for the
program’s inaugural semester.

Freshman Mentoring Network to
communicate with her mentees.
“We have been using the e-Mentoring
network to send notes and keep
each other up-to-date with college
and orientation preparation infor
mation,” she said. “I think the best
feature on the network is the
message boards. They give mentors
the opportunity to share their
experiences with all the freshmen
in a sort of open forum."
Anthony Troianiello, an
incoming freshman and one of
Strzelecki’s mentees, agrees. “The eMentoring program has been very
helpful, and the online network is
an easy way for me to ask questions
and receive answers,” Troianiello
said. “I also like the message
boards. They give you a lot of
helpful information that you may
have not thought about.”
Although the Freshman
Mentoring Network is a key
component to the e-Mentoring
program, interaction is more than
virtual. The e-Mentors also are the

To Make Plans
Third Of 7,000 Wilkes j
Graduates Are Local
Noting that approximately 33%
of the 7,000 Wilkes College gradu
ates are still residing in Greater
Wyoming Valley, the local insti
tution's Alumni Office has
launched a campaign to reorgan
ize the local chapter.
The first meeting toward this
end was held recently at Weckcsser Hall, under the guidance
of Arthur Hoover, director of;
alumni affairs. The meeting fol-!
lowed a dinner at which the new
president of the college, Dr.'
Francis J. Michelini, and former
president and now chancellor.!
Dr. Eugene S. Farley, spoke to!
23 association members who will
work on the local chapter cam
paign.
At the same time plans were
discussed for the Alumni Asso-i
ciation activities to be held dur-i
ing the 1970-71 school year. Pete
Winebrake was named tempo
rary chairman of a committee to
work out plans for the annual!
homecoming which will be held '
October 16-17-18.
A meeting of the homecoming
committee will be held Wednes
day evening at 8 at Weckesscr
Hall. All alumni members who
would care to assist with the
Homecoming are welcome to at-'
tend.
During the recent meeting. Mr.;
Hoover explained the college’s
concern over the rebuilding of:
the campus chapter of the Alum-'
ni Association,
“Right now we have some 20
chapters sprinkled throughout
the nation,” Hoover said, “and
we have plans for many more
where concentration of Wilkes
alumni will support such effort.
But we also feel that the campus
chapter—the one which could ex
ist from the more than 2,000 local
graduates — should be molded
into a stronger unit to form the
nucleus around which the out-oftown chapters might become
stronger and more active.”
