WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1947 .Bison Quintet Ready For Pottsville :student Body Gets New Constitution. :STUDENT ASSEMBLY OF SEVENTY APPROVES NEW CONSTITUTION IN FIFTEEN MINUTE SESSION Final Examination Schedule The Registrar's Office will soon release the final examination schedule. The office wishes each student to note that in case . of conflicts, the course with the. largest enrollment will prevail. Therefore, . th~ student should contact the instructor of the course with the smallest enrollment figure in order to arrange a special examination. The eni'ollmentt figure is indicated in the italil!s followin~ the course listed, i.e. Economics 10:i~En, rollment · 175. It is ' neees'sary that all arrangements for spe- · cial examinations be made with the faculty pri,o r to January 18. Classes will end on February . L Following several months of debate, discussion, rejections, and several assembly programs devoted entirely to constitutional · discussion, the student body of Bucknell University Junior Colleg~ this week unanimously accepted a new !Student Constitution. The necessity for a chanire from the old Wartime Student Constitu.tion .b ecame evident two semestera ago, when it was found that several points in that blueprint of student ·goveI\Ilment were obsolete and con~licted with the i~creased number ;ff students that flooded the college <;following the end of hostilities. ,. The first attempt at drawing up a .n ew constitution was made by 'the Student -Council of this institution. After sevei:'al weeks of work th~ couhcil presented what it considered . to be a fairly acceptable piece of work only to have ~t rejected .by the members of the stu,dent body wheri. it came 'u p for final approval at an assembly period. . . - 'l'he task of writin1t a new con'atituticin fe!r upon a special committee, elected by the various achools wnd classes in Bucknell. Almost immediately after election the apecia,l committee 'be'g ari work on writing the new cciristitu,t ion: Just . before the Christmas holidays the finished product was presented to the me:i:tibers of the ·studeht body ao that ii might be studied over the . yacation,, Last ' Tue~day . at .a apecial assembly, which saw· only about seventy members of t.h e i!n° stude,nt . enrollment show up, \he new constitution was presented for approval' arid vote. The ' new Hr~ constitution was accepted unanimously in the record breaking time of fifteen mi.nutes. The members of the Constitution Committee were present at the meeting and were willing to clear u,p any bad points of the new charter that might have been turned up. The members of the Constitutional Committee did . an excellent job in preparing this ~ew constitution. They worked to compose a constitution that would be satisfactory and entirely fair to the members of the junior college student body. The climax of their fairness in presenting this new constitution came when it was presented to the BUCKNELLIANS TO PLAY members of the student body before officially becoming the new ,ol?.ening· -the curtain on the 19.47 Buckn.ell Junior College Student Bucknell University Junior College · Constitution. The fact that only a social activities •will be the allsmall number of the student body school sports dance, which will. were interested enough to attend take place tonight at 8, in the St. this meeting was no fault of the Stephen's Church house, located on Constitutional Committee.

Reese Pe!ton. . The · Buc~nelhans have provided the school with some top-notch musical entertainment in the past and the same fine brand of music can .be expeeted tonight. One of the feature nttractions of tonight's dance will be the introduction of the new .vocal trio, composed of girls from this college. This trio has been rehearsing for time for the spring season. Arrangements will have to be several weeks and will, undoubtedmade with city officials so that ly, add plenty of extra sparkle to courts can be assigned to the junior the evening's activities. The daince was arranged by th e college for practice. There are many good courts throughout the members of the junior college Stulocal area. Kirby Park has five dent Council; under the direction of courts and there are two along the Joseph Callahan. Tonight's dance may be the last river common on the east side of social affair of the semester unless the river. This runs to five the ,number of the school sponsors one more semisports that Bucknell Junior College formal dance or possibly a cabaret will be sponsoring.

JUNIOR COLLEGE TO START TENNIS TEAM IN SPRING Buck,nell ' University Junior College Athletic Department announc~d this week that plans are underway at present to add another 11port to the already greatly expanded athletic program that is being enjoyed 1by this institution. The new addition to the sports activity achedule at the junior college will :be the formation of a tennis team. Coach George F. Ralston put the ~tamp of approval to the addition bf this new sport after he was 11pproached during the week by several tennis enthu•siasts of the junior college. Ralston agreed to send out ·letters to other schools in the area and eeemed quite confident that a schedule could be worked out in JC SPORT DANCE TONIGHT OPENS '47. SOCIAL CALENDAR r 'i BUCKNELL CAGERS HOPE TO ENTER WIN COLUMN AFTER FOUR SET-BACKS The Bucknell Junior College cagers hoJ')e the new year has a few breaks in store for them as they launeh their cam-- , paign to climb on the winning bandw.agon. The Pottsville,, Undergraduate Center will play host - to - Coach George , Ralston's orange and blue quintet tomorrow evening .i n a, , dow.n-state match slated to be a real hot tussle. · The local basketball squad has not shown a great deal of spark during the five games in which they have participated; After shading Pottsville in .the initial conte5t of the season, Bucknell proceeded to drop four straight. The orange and blue· cagers found that Friday the thirteenth .b rought them ill luck as they went dow;n to defeat before Hazleton Undergraduate quintet in a close, well-played contest at the local YiMCA. The foilowing evening came a setback at the hands of Mansfield STC on the latter's court. The York Junior College aggrega.tion came to town on Dec ember 18 and returned home with a one-sided triumph over a com paratively unorganized Bucknell quintet. Two days later the junior college team journeyed to Scranbn where the freshman team from the University of Scrainton emerged victorious in a loosely-played- highscoring duel. There are various significant reasons for Bucknell's present -r ecord. In the fir's t place, the loc~l courtmen were forced to open their j . · schedule with t>nly five days of pra-ctice . 'under,· their ,b elts. The ,· breaks seemed to favor them as they managed' td edge out Potts- ' ville. ·Theri'°lady luck cha,nged ,sides.

A few.rpontha ago, there wa,s a movie entitled "The Big Sleep", Up until now, we couldn't figure out the reason for the title-but last Tuesday morn_ing, .it came to us in a flash ~he "BLG IS LEEP'' was written for the students at BUJC .a nd the charasteristics for that play were those lethargic ;soritnaibulists who "skipped" the student assembly meeting 1(6ecause it wasn't compulsory') called for the purpose of ,rlitifying the new ConsUtution. The majority of ,the student body missed a lesson in real democracy when Chairman John Riley, in a brilliant example of oratory, presented the Constitution to the assembled 'b?<fy for its vote. Chairman Riley made it plain that the Crina,titutional Committee was merely present to clarify any doubtful IJ)Oints, if any, and not to defend it-the new Constitution co·uld stand on its own merits. However, the absence of a large portion of students definitely points to their lazy, lackadaisical attitude towards school affairs. When students exhibit laCJk of pride in their school, they're also displaying a lack of pride in themselves. W4at's wrong with us - have we been bitten by the t~tse fly? Or don't we give a "hoot"? Remember-it's that latter attitude that helped give rise to W oriel War II. Let's wake up, students! The dawn is breaking and this isn't the time to pull a ~ip Van Winkle. . . 1 THE COLLEGE SPORTS INDUSTRY Are college sp8rts becoming a business? Thi,s question has been asked quite frequently of late and as yet no one has come up with sufficient evidence to swing the answer to either yes or no. During the recent football season we heard many charges against various schools throughout the country which stated that, one wa:y or another the college in question was making ~ business out of the grid sport. Somewhere between the time the English started the ga:me of football by kicking around the skruU of a Dane and the first under-the-table hand-out to a college gridster, the game was taken away from the gridders and put into the hands of shrewd behind-the-scene businessmen. It definitely started to lean toward the business angle and away from the Sportsmen's idea of the game. · As the situation stands today everyone must admit that t,he business of handing out side gifts to better than average gridders in order to lure them to a certain college has gotten out of hand. It's true that scholarships have helped good many boys receive educations that otherwise mi.ght have been impossible. This situation is tops and ,should be continued, but the blacik mark comes when colleges begin to r.iot only offer reasonable scholarships, but toss in an apartµient, car, several thousand dollars, and tie the whole thing up iby giving the prize gridder a real tough job like winding the clock in the boy's gym. Naturally, the clock being one 9f those eight-day affairs and requiring a considerable amount of the gridder's time, it pays a fairly good weekly waige. a 1 RESOLUTIONS FOR 1947 Since the new year is only ten days old and everyone has, more than likely, recovered from even the most violent forms of celebrating, there is no reason in the world why the student body shouldn't be . • w1 11 mg to adopt a few resolutions for 1947. 1. Let's stop smoking in the Presbyterian •C hurch house. The notice in the last issue of the Beacon · stating that smoking in that building was prohi,b ited was not written to fill up space. 2. Try to be a little more thoughtful in the cafeteria, espe•eially during the crowded lunch period. Although it is taken for granted that everyone eats before he comes to school in the morning, even the most powerful of human beings desires to consume a l"ttl 1 e some th'mg a b ou t f our h ours after breakfast. It's very discouraging to stand in the cafeteria watching- the precious minutes tick away while some unintentional joker is ,p layful1y sailing the crumbs of his sandwich around in his saucer. Confine all such ...naval operations to the late afternoon when the cafeteria takes on all the aspects of Old Mother Hubbard's Cupboard. 3. How are the chances of the male population becoming a. little more courteous to the weaker sex? Naturally, there's ,no · reason for concealing a choice mud puddle with your new red and white checkered sport coat in Sir Waiter Raleigh fashion , but holding the door, picking up books, or bidding the time of day to the little lady may revive the long dead chivalry. 4. Let's not give vent to you r wrath in the boy's lounge by makin!!' ki,n g size -toothpicks out of the new cue sticks just after you, have lost a game of pool. Be brave, losing a game of pool happens to the best of people, but breaking the tools of the game may prevent you from winning some other time. If worst comes to worst, go over in the corner, hold your •b reath and count to one thousand, get real mad a,nd eat worms, or punch the smallest guy in the lounge in the nose, but please don't break u,p those nice new cues. 5. Let's support the athletic teams of the college. When you go to a contest and you witness an exceptionally fine play, let the men kinow that you, enjoyed it. Yelling doesn't bother the players one bit. Those people jumping up and down and making wild, fantastic motions with their arms are cheerleaders. They are not there for the amusement of the people who have lost interest in the athletic contest, but were created for the sole purpose of leading the cheeri,ng section. 6. Let's not make fun of the engineers who are constantly surveying the river common. They've been doing that for years and the latest word has it that the project is just about complete. 7. Let's support Bucknell activities. Sports dances are not held for the ·pu11po11e of givi.n&' the Bucknellians practice. They don't need it, but might develop an inferiority complex if they see the same faces (although they be nice, the number is small) at each affair. 8. Last, but not least, when you belong to an organization give it you,r full support. After all, when the bows are to be taken and the organization has counted on about a dozen to accept the credit, it gets crowd ed when the stage becomes full of people bending at the waist. It's very discouraging to see some unfamiliar characters taking part in the exercises. SEASON'S RESULTS Friday, January 10, 1947 FINAL REGISTRATION The final registration period will be held in the Reception Room of Chase Hall the week of January 20 through January 25. Each student is requested to call at the Reception Room to obtain his or her trial registration form from Miss Brennan in •order to complete the registra• tion during this time. It is necessary that each student register in order to be admitted to classes for the following semester. It is also of the utmost importance in the case of veterans to register during this time in order that the 11chool may report these registrations to the Vetera1U1 Bureau.

LETfERMEN MAKING THE ROUNDS -8-00-KS-TO-RE-CL-OS---.-IN----:G CONDUCT DANCE OF THE MUSIC CffiCLES with MARTIN Despite rain, sleet, and icy roads, a large crowd attended the Lettermen's Dance at lrem Temple in Wilkes-Barre on December 20, 1946. It is likely that a larger crowd would have attended had the weather been more clement. Though the city temple proved to be much less satisfactory than the Country Club in Dallas, where Bucknell held its previous dance, it was probably fortunate that the affair was held in this area on that particular night -b ecause of its convenient location. The hall was colorfully decorated with a Christmas tree in the center of the dance floor and with ether yuletide decorations placed throughout the hall. Jack Barrett and hi ■ orchestra played for the aancera. The purpose of the dance was to ebtain enough money to buy sweaters and letters for the lettermen. In spite of their efforts the lettermen did not receive enough funds to accomplish their pu?IJ)ose. BUCKNELLIANS PLAY AT NEW YEAR'S DANCE On December 31, the Bucknellian■ provided music for a New Year's Eve party and dance held by the Young People's Association ef St. Stephen's Church. The affair took place in the church house on South Franklin Street and dancing eontinued from 9 :30 to 1 :30. A good time was had by all, and the music was enjoyed by everyone present. Besides providing music for dancing the band also . preii'ented a few extra features. The most outlltanding of these was presented by the "band within the band", Schultz's Hungry Five, when they rendered - some rare German music, especially for Professor GU,g1renschlucker-Heinamenschmittel. Reese Pelton, leader of the Bucknellians, was featured at the piano, and vocals were handled by Johnny Martin.

This column predicted that Tommy Dorsey would win his girl singer contest, and he proved that statement r ecently, by selling Sherry Sherwood's contract to a movie producer. "Three Little Girls in Blue" has the best musical l!lcore to be written for a movie in a long time.

Naturally, this fact alone will sell the record, but buyers will also be pleased with the excellent ballad on the other side. It's called "Heaven Knows". Local Notes-If you want to hear one of the best vocalists in Wyoming Valley dig Mickey Carvel singing with Lee Vincent. I'd advise you to do it soon, ,b ecause Mickey is big time material, and shouldn't be around here long if he desires to better himself . . .Charlie Gittens, trumpet player with the Buckmellians (the cine who smokes while he plays), also has what it takes to go piaces ... By the time you read this, Duke Ellington's newest, "Just Squeeze Me" should be sweeping the country. Don't miss Jack Melton',s renditeon. Hats OffThis issue's Hats Off award goes to Harry James for continuing to feature Willie Smith on alto. Considering that Harry has a reputation to ,p rotect, he is doing a lot to prove that there isn't any room for Jim Crow in the music business, and he is setting a fine example for other band leaders to follow. This time men are in the fashion spotlight. Just because no o.ne looks to see what the groom is wearing at the wedding, men needn't think they don't have to be fashion conscious. Around our campus we've noted that men are again wearing the N orwegia,n sweaters which the women almost took from them. The comebacks are louder and heavier than ever. For example there's that brown, yellow, and red one that Jim Catnes has been wearing. Bold-plaid shirts are now in widespread use. Originally worn by lumbermen or miners, they are .now worn ,b y college men everywhere; usually in a plaid, but sometimes in a c,heck de11ign. Haven't you noticed Bill Arthur's red and black "Shawnee" plaid or Buddy Klesa's brown and green one? These shirts have conventional sports collars that can be worn with a knit or wool necktie. Speaking of ties, we saw J 0>1 Liehtman's 1c.d, white, and bla,·k number a mile away. Ted Harwood isn't doing so ,b adly with his Sinatra styled ties, either. A typical campus suit is Hank Anderson's green one. It has a dark green coat and green striped trousers. It certainly is a change from the many colored army shirts which are flourishing right now! The bookstore will close for all sales as of tomorrow. This includes both cash as well as veterans' sales. It is necessary that the bookstore close at this date in order to take inventory and close its accounts with the Veterans Administration before the beginning of the February semester.

I +-··-·•-11•-··-··-··-··-··-··-··-··-·-··-··-··-··-·-··-----··-·----+ • By MORAN T CAROLYN JONES NELDA BROUNSTEIN After starting off the winter sports program by winning the first game of the !basketball season, Bucknell's quintet suddenly began looking for a monkey wrench that became tangled in its cage machinery. Judging from the results of the last contest, which saw the junior college five go down to defeat at the haaids of the University of -Scranton Freshman team, the tool is still causing both the coach and the team plenty of worry. The trouble, according to several members of the squad, seems to lie in the fact that several members of the squad have banded together while others remain independent. Needless to say, this doesn't help our chances in so far as winning games is concerned. Let's get down to business and play the game for the sport's sake, not for individual glory. No team ever finished a season successfully without the two most important items in sports. sportsmanship and teamwork. Carolyn Jones , affe cti o,n ately dubbed "Jon sey" , is a native of Wil kes -Barre. Laru,y n is s tric t ly an outdoor girl. She loves the snow and a good snowba •l fight ..Jonsey has traveled a great deal and enjoys it. Sh 2 likes semi-classical and popular music. She love,- to dance, especially with a certain aiavy man. Her favorite sport is basketball. Jonesy is always ready to battle with a good dish of spaghet ti. In her spare time she knits and reads. Carolyn's ambition is to g raduate and teach history. Because she loves to talk we are sure she will be successful in thi s field . JOHN MILANO J ohnny Milano, well - known around the camp us for his contagious laugh, wa s born in WilkesBarre. During the war he was an arm or-gunner on a B-24 in the 8th Air Force. John's likes are music and non-fiction books. His hobby is ph otography . Johnny believes that the best w~.y to obtain an educat ion is t o travel. He e,njoys watching football games, boxing and wres tling matches. He likes an all-around girl with plenty of person ality. Joh n's favorite subject is political science which is understandable since he aspires to be a lawyer. SPORT COATS Plain Colors and Plaids TROUSERS Gabardines and Coverts -AT- LEVENTHAL'S 2 EAST MAIN STREET, NANTICOKE, PA. Nelda Brounstein, more commonly known as "Nell", hails from Endicott, New York. At this point Nell's one ambition is to pass psycholog y. In her spare time she likes to listen to records and to l'ead. "For Sentimental Reasons" is her favorite popular piece. Nelda is known fo1; her ·constant talking and wide griai. When asked what her favorite food was, she cast her vote for steak. Nell's ideal man must be tall, dark, a _good dancer and above all, must have personality. Coach George Ralston has his hands full at present with the basketball team and duties connected with his new position as Dean of Men. There has been no word from college authorities to date concerning the appoi.ntment of an assistant to Ralston, but it is expected that an annauncement will be made shortly as several people have been interviewed for the •p osition, but nothing definite has bee111 decided .upon. Our guess is that a man now coaching at one of the township Dr. C. B. Reif Attends ·1ffgh s.chools will be named as RalBoston AAAS Meeting ston's new assistant. Dr. Ch:i rles Braddock Reif, member of Bucknell's biology department, has returned to school with many interesting stories and facts a bout •his holiday experiences. Dr. Reif spent three days of his Christmas vacation in Boston. His reason for goilllg to Boston was to attend t.he o,n e hundred thirteenth meet1 n-~ of the American. Association fo1· the Advancement of Science and Cooperating Associated Societies. Thes e meetings and sessions were held December 26 to 31, 1946. Dr. Reif also attended the Lim.nological Society and the Ecological socie '. ies' meetin gs. Th e purpose of the A.A .A.S. is tn further the advancement of science. Every year at these meetings men . ·o f' science meet at sessions of their respective interests, studies, and fields to present research on their discoveries during the year . It wa s at these meeti,ngs and discussions that Dr. Reif obtained hi story and information about research, which will be used in his lectures. The newly o.rgamized Bucknell Lettermen's .Club is still trying to figure out how much it made on its ·recently sponsored Christmas dance, held December 20, at the Irem Temple. Jerry Munzing, chairI11an in charge of dance arranges ments, woul<l like all lettermen, who have 111ot mad·e their returns, to do us as soori as possible. · It would be a nice gesture on th~ part of the college to provide the Lettermen's Club with the balance of the money it will need to purchase eit,her sweaters or jackets for the forty meni.bers of the organization. Friday, Jantiaty 10, 1947 LETTERS TO EDITOR MUST BE SIGNED It was announced in the last issue of the Bucknell Beacon that all letters sent to the Letters to the Editor Column must be signed. Although this has not been the policy of the Beacon in previous issues, we feel that any person who has something to say, either for or against something or someone, should be willing to stand behind his statements. Initials will be used on all Letter To the Editor if it is requested, but in all cases the full name must be signed to every article submitted for publica- tion.

Hershey, it is reported, has a t opnotch ball club and has been giving most .o f the other schools in the Penrisylvani,a Junior College plenty of trouble in previous contests. Arrangements for turning the proceeds of tomorrow's night game over to the Infantile Paralysis Fund were completed during th e week by George Ralston with Bob Patton, Sports Editor of the Wilkes-Barre Record and chairman of the drive. The usual custom of admitting Bucknell students on their pa sses will not be in effect Saturday night. For the benefit contest all atteding will pay the usual student or adult admissions. Ralston has expressed the hope that the junior college cagers will be able to turn the tables on the vi'siting Hershey team. Having run into some bad luck during past contests, the junior college five will be pointing towards winning most of the contests remainit11g on its schedule. The junior college team will be depending upon such veterans of last year's sq,uad as Bill Johns, Joe Swartwood, and Bill Zukausky to provide the local quintet with the needed scoring power to top the visiting cage ,t eam. :Some of the other men who will undoubtedly, help the junior col~ Iege club are Harry Black, Joe Pinola, Joe Savitz 2nd Danny Gilroy.

Thespians Ready To Present New Play On Feb. 21 After several months of planning, casting and intensive rehearsal, the Thespia.ns, campus drama.tics organization, has been able to make definite arrangements for its forthcoming production, "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." The play, which dramatizes several incidents in the life J of the poet Robert Browning and his wife, Elizabeth Barrett, will be presented on Friday, February 21, in the college theatre. Mr. Alfred Groh, former Thespian and featured player in the Wilkes-Barre Little Theater presently offering, "Night Must Fall", is _director of "The Barretts." While on campus, Mr. Groh was p1'8sident of the T,hespians and star of several productions, among them ''Gammer Gul'tOt11's Needle" and Mpliere's "le M;isanthrope." At t~yracu_se Univers,i•t y, where he received his bac~elor s degree,. Mr. Groh was prommently associated with ~he Boil-r's Head, collegiate thea!rical gro_up. With technical schedule and rehearsals progressing according to plan, the production pro~ises to be one of the best which the Thespians have offered within several _semesters: The f1;.st American comp~ny to produce The Barretts of W1mpole Street" was that of Catherine Cornell under the management ·o f her husband, Guthrie McClintock. Because the play is of English origin, l\fiss ICornell has he!~ /all producing rights, and it has been only recently that ilt has been released for amateur presentatiOt!l. The Thespians are one of the first of college dramatic groups to .produce the play in the United States . Several years ago the drama was seen in the movies with Frederic March and Norma .Shearer in the starring roles. All students are urged to attend and support one of the cultural activities· of the college. A student pass is all that is necessary for admissiOt!l. The Thespians announce that any person who is interested in taking an active part in the production of "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" is welcome to attend production Betta Gamma Chi To Hold Dance Valentine's Day Ithaca, N.

Mrs. Henderson will join the faculty with . the start of the spring term on February 12. Her home town is Endicott, New York, but she has. spoot considerable time in Wyo-· ming Valley as a member of the staff of the local YWCA. Mrs. I{enderson is a graduate of Tusculum College at Greenville, Tennessee. She received her Master of Arts degree in history and social studies from Syracuse University. For several years, prior to her coming to Wilkes-Barre, she taught in the New York State schools. Following this period of teaching, Mrs. Hendersom was appointed to a position on the staff of the Wilkes-Barre YWCA. Among hee duties at the local center were the organization of activities programs and the counselling of young girls who belong to the Girl Reserves. One of Mrs. Henderson's position!! was Director of Girl Reserves. As Dean of Women, Mrs. Henderson will come in close contact with the girls who a:re in residence at the dormitory and with the larger group of women who comprise the daytime students. With her previous experience in cou,nselling and. in planning activities, Mrs. Henderson will be able to offer valuable assistance to the student council and the women's sorority in their social and goveming programs. In 11ddition to her position as· Dean of ·Women, Mrs. Henderson will also serve as an instructor in history.

On Tuesday, January 28, another meeting will be held in Chase 209 at 12 o'clock, at which time additional plans for the trip will be arranged. Everyone who is interested in making the trip is invited to attend. It is interesting to note that Pan-American Airways has made this offer only to students of Bucknell College. Such an event has no parallel i.n the history of this college, the advantages of the opportunity which has been extended are obvious. A trip of this nature will be a memorable one. �BUCKNELL BEACON Page Two THE BUCKNELL BEACON EDITORIAL STAFF ~ Editor ... .. ...... ........... ........... ............. ....................... ........ .. ....... ........

And once again the campaign posters, bearing a varied assortment of promises, are being plastered around the school. Some of these promises are sound while others seem to have been made by "tongue-in-cheek" candidates. i>ublicity campaigns singing the praises of an individual accomplish nothing unless those individuals are really and truly capable of assuming the responsibilities of a Student Council position. .Students! when voting, do illOt be influenced by personal feelings, favoritism or flamboyant posters!

Cagers Come Out Of Slump With Recent Win the apathy toward the school's activities on the part of many An informative lecture describing the newest surgical suturing technique was given to the PreMedical Society 001 Friday evening, January 3, in Conyngham Annex. Several of the stat? of the Singer Sewing Maching Company succeeded in portraying a graphic picture of the technique used by surgeons in suturing incisions. The suturing instrument is of a radical design, being at least six inches long with a detachable curved needle. A spool holding the thread is constructed so that it keeps the suture taut at all times. Since the needle is movable, the surgeon can sew at any possible angle hundreds of intricate knots, depending upon the type of incision. Among the other features of the instrument are its adaptability for either right or left hand and its universal use in all fields of surgery. It is unique inasmuch as it can be sterilized as one compact unit. The lecture was supplemented by motion pictures of an intellectual nature, following which the stu-. dents were given an opportunity to manipulate the iillstrument. All students interested in making the annual trip to Philadelphia with the society should contact Edward Burtsavage, president. The trip will be made on February 14.

Having stopped, looked, and listened, and admired the Bucknell co--eds for about a week, all we can say is that Santa Claus was mighty nice to some of them. For instance, take a peek at the numerous good-looking belts worn by the girls. There is Peaches Kaftan's red leather belt with two buckles; Louise Dodson's similar one with a bow for a buckle· Carolyn Jones' and Helen Krufka'~ red leather ones each with one buckle; and L;dia Blancodini's black patent belt with two buckles - all of the belts as wide as a dainty waist will permit. When it came to blouses we couldn't help noticing J e' a ,n Hughes' exclusive model. It's black silk with a high pointed collar cap sleeves, and button-down-the~ back. What's more, all over the fr_?nt are painted white cigarettes with red sequins as the lighted ends and smoke curling lazily up from them. It's quite the thing Marthta Hoyle has a black silk one, .too, with light green birdsin flight painted on it. Then th~re's Charlotte Najaka's wide stnped bLue and white blouse which ties at the neck. Not a blouse but nevertheless attractive s Evelyn Penaligon's blue and white plaid wool shirt. It just matches her eyes. A woman's dress, so we hear, should be long enough to cover the subject and short enough to be nteresting. We noticed three which exactly fit these qualifications Louise Dodson's white gabardine dress with gold buttons; Del Woynoski's grey flann~l dress with which she wears a wide tan leather belt· and Joan Wylie's aqua dress ~ith black stripes and a wide black patent leather belt. Something in the "different'' cl~ss is Naomi Hons' jerkin suit. Its a green skirt and a jerkin with a green back and a .g rey front upon which are' appliqued felt flowers.

The Beacon extends Mr. Feelzwell a hearty welcome to the campus and wiB'hes him success in his work. However the Beacon feels it should warn the students that anyone who has a brush with Mr. Feelzwell will soon find himself worked up into a fine lather. Ed. Note. "Well said: that was laid on with a trowel.'' (As you Like It, Act I, Scene II, 1. 97) Authorship of the above tour de force is disclaimed by all members of the editorial, reportorial, busiess, and circulation staffs of this newspaper. Faculty members who have ·b een accustomed to complain about the efforts in whimsy which have occasionally been submitted to the Beacon ·b y student reporters are hereby cautioned against making unduly severe comments regarding the "Feelzwell" article. One never knows when he may be criticizing a colleague to his face. Herkimer V. (V for Victim [of what has yet to be determined]) Feelxwell, newly appointed instructor in exterior decorating, when interviewed by the Beacon reporter said he filnds the indigenous fauna of the campus most fascinating. Mr. Feelzwell is a former pupil of Prof. C. Lose Shaver at Nickem Junior Barber College. Herkimer FeelzweM admitted in the cutest of bashful manners that he never graduated from Nickem because ,he was a ·g ay young blade and took too many cuts. In order to save face the faculty asked him to take his mug elsewhere. When asked what extracurricular activity he would sponsor on the campus Mr. Feelzwell revealed that he had been tryilng to promote a whisker-growing contest among the male faculty members. "Why should the Thespians have all the fun?" he asked with his usual bashful aplomb. "But what difficulty I'm having in getting entrants !'' Then he told our reporter all of his troubles. Pop Gies' chief problem is in getting bis whiskers off each day, not in getting them on. Pop claims that Bach didn't wear a beard so why should he? V. B. Hall, iron man of physics, believes he is at present doing his bit. Mr. Hall's soup strainer is a blue ribbon specimen and his 1948 project includes a goatee, but until the blueprints are completed for that, he'll have no time for amateur productions. Mr. Feelzwell claims that Professor Hall cam really produce when he just WE ARE lets things grow. Mr. Richards and Dock Reif DISTRIBUTORS say that growing hair on their for faces is the least of their worries. "We have much higher asBUCKNELL pirations", they told Mr. Feelzwell in mournful harmony when JEWELRY approached to enter the contest. Easy Payments Doctor Ward of the genetics department says that Mr. Richards' mother was undoubtedly frightened by a billiard ball but that it is difficult to account for Doc Reif. Mr. Disque was invited to enter the contest but he contended that since he grew a beard several years ago when he had a Thespian role he should be disqualified as a professional. Said he, "lch spreche ja doc'h nur durch meinen Bart." Dr. Donnelly and Mr. Williams hold that if anyone should be disqualifier itt is Mr. Symo.nolewicz, judging from the hoary tonsorial decorattions on his lecture jokes. HeHnry Steinmann who has . been very eager to enter the pro- ' 20 North State St. posed contest may be permitted to do so but there are those who Phone 3-3151 doubt if Mr. Steinmanm's rosy cheeks, blooming in the vigor of youth, have yet been kissed by the razor's edge.

DOLORES SEITCHEK - There aren't enough outstandi<ng activitites to hold the interests of the students. PEACHES KAFTON - They find that they can enjoy themselves much more outside of school because of the lack of social adivities. ELEANOR KRYGER I feel that the student activities are not publicized enough to wanant a la!'ge attendance. MYRL STEELE - The majority of students live away from school amd have their main interests in outside activities. JOE' HUDAK - Mainly because the school is not yet a fouryear institution. After it becomes ·one the student body is more likely to center its interest around it. HERB LEVY - Since most of the students are local they retain interest in high schools. JOE MARION - There is a lack of drive for sports, and the proper facilities for activities are lacking. 1 ANN HAVIR - (Special Student) !

The great event finally took place - Buckcriell's quintet broke a six-.g ame loosing streak last Saturday evening in the YMCA when it defeated, by an eightpoint margin, the quintet representing Wyoming Seminary. While the second win of the season for the Juinior Bisons was not the biggest thing that ever happened to collegiate basketball, it proved that the Bucknell quintet is still capable of and interested in winning ball games. meetings. It's about time the club was sponsoring another affair since it seems that this is the only way that it will ever -r aise enough to get the members of the club sweaters ... .... It is reported that the mats, recently purchased for the wresttling team, cost somewhere around $1,100. Does anyone still want to know where all the money goes? Some just can't be convinced ,that it costs the school money to run athletics. We dropped around to see the squad several times and it looks mighty .good. The experience is centered among the men· in the upper weight divisions. However most of the men in the lower weight brackets will be more than holding their own when the season really gets under way. Our guess, despite the fact that John Q.

RESULTS: School Orchestra To Provide Music At St. Stephen's The new .Student Council of Bucknell Junior College has announced the first function of its·. social calendar. The Buck.nellians,. popular college orchestra underthe direction of Reese Pelton, will be on hand toni·g ht to launch a. star-studded musical program de-signed for the dancing and listening pleasure of everyone. A wide variety of old and new melodies are included. The playing of "Deep Purple," theme song of the Bucknellians, will be the opening number tomorrow night at 8:30 in the S t . Stephen's Auditorium on Franklin Street. Pelton Leader The junior college's musical organization has reached heights undreamed of when it was foi,med by Reese Pelton in the summer of 1945. The band hit a high note of success in its initial engagement ' at a cabaret party held in Chase Hall on August 3, 1945. A list of highly s~cessful engagements was responsible for the present standing of the Bucknellians as one of the top-notch orc<hestras in local collegiate circles. The local musicians did no_t confine their playing to dance halls; many of tl).em appeared in the band at the football contests to create added color and to lead team support. An attendance, estimated at 500, danced to the music of the junior college orchestra following the BucknellKing's College grid battle. The Bucknellians have recently played outside engagements for various hi gh schools and organizations in Wyoming Valley. With the increase of the orchestra's activities, John Martin, feature soloist, has taken up the position of manager. From all indications, one of the highlights on tonight's program will be the rendition of "Sonata" featuring Maestro Pelton at the key,b oard . For those who cast their votes for soft-flowing ballads "The Old Lamplighter", with a vocal duet by John Martin and Sybil Ichter, should fill the bill. The fan1-0us Glenn Miller arrangement of. "Moonlight Serenade" and a sparkliJ1g new arrangement of "Stardust" should prove to .be two of the specialties of the evening, while the Sinatoo-revived old-<timer, "Among My Souvenirs", promises to furnish easy listening pleasure. For those who prefe r the faster t emp o. the Bucknellians will feature "Musket Ra mble," "Casa Loma Stomp," and the lilting new Artie Shaw anangement of "Beg in the Beguine." A .bright swingarrangement of the hit parade favorite, "Gal In Calico," promises to meet the fancy of all present. Nove lty selections such as "In my Merry Oldsmobile" and "Last Night On The Back Porch" will feature vocal choruses by the band. I J. C.

LE1'TERS TO THE EDITOR )1HESPIANS SCORE HIT i.n NEW STUDENT COUNCIL ·FEELZWELLMARVELSAT.BEAUTY .' OF JUNIOR COLLEGE .CAMPUS ' PAPERHANGERS, PATHFINDERS, AND SMOKERS LEAD DAILY DECORATING CAMPAIGN The following paper was presented hy Professor Herkimer V. Feelzwell before the American Society of External Decorators whose annual meetings were held last week in Kirby Park. The initial r esearch undertaken upon my assuming the Chair of Exterior Decorating at Bucknell in Wilkes-Barre was to assess the college's external values. The ca mpus was found to have grand specimens of elm, maple, hackberry, and beech. English ivy and wisteria covered the buildings. Fine expamses of lawn were bordered by beds of iris, lily, and myrtle. The Bucknell landscape was beautiful. The second project was a sur.vey of the efforts made by the student body toward keeping the campus in: such immaculate condition. · The results of the survey were very revealing and most gratifying for it was discovered that the students were excelling not only in the accumulation of factual knowledge but i'n the development of their esthetic appreciation of natural beauty a& well. One phase of the survey was study of the decorations on the campus who use . cigarette bu,t ts. It was found that the students, both male and female, );lave .unerring judgement in the arramgement of butts about the entrances of the college buildings. Observations showed that they consis'tently avoided the use of the ugly butt cans and the . very unattractive sand jars. The students' skill at flipping lighted cigarettes artistically about the steps, walks, a.nd ·lawns (especial.ly 'in front of Conyngham) showed inherent good breeding and an exquisite delicacy of taste. · The Bucknell smokers . have proved themselves to be most lavish · and · generous in their contributions to the campus landscape. They ·are not content to place stingy little butts .about. The great majority of cigarettes contributed •b y the students, and faculty, too, in some cases, are nearly entire, only one or .two puffs having been taken from them. As educators, it shoul-d be gtatifyittig to ui;: to note how, as the students rourid out their educations, they can better judge the statements made in tobacco advertisements and can weigh the facts concerning smoking. How the beauty of the Buckneil campus would suffer were it not so. But the smokers are ,not the only landscap!!rs on camirns. Many of the scholars, even while engrossed in the deepest of discussions, automatically distribute c and y wrappers, glim papers, old copies of the Beacon, and notices from the Dean: a.bout the terrain! Bucknell may well be proud that its sons amd daughters are taking theit places in and are making their contributions to the Wyoming Valley with such effortless ease. included in this second group of artists is a small esoteric society whicl). m erits special mention. Its ivory tower is the set of benches under the spreading boughs of the Chi,nese haw tree between Kirby Home for Education and Brennan Hall (commonly known as . the cafeteria) . During the fair summer days that elect circle gathers each noon to bring into being its formal garden. Only through the co,ncerted action of sheer genius can such a conglomeration of wax paper, chocolate imilk bottles, straws in bottle caps, crusts of cheese sandwiches, and apple cores a la orange peel be brought into a living vibrant creation. A third group which was studied may be called the 'pathfinders'. Students m this last group, un- a daunted by s,now or rain, mud or fence, beat new paths about the campus. It is they who break the uninteresting expanses of lawn into exciting patterns. They leave footprints in which those who come after may follow. Their motto, taken from the smokers (many of whom are i<n the trail blazing category), is 'Something new has been added'. In concluding, the situation may be summarized by saying that among the exteriot decorators of the student body, even though we group the paper hangers and the pathfinders, it is still the smokers two to o,ne who keep the Bucknell landscape beautiful. No other campus can make that sb,i .tement. BASKETBALL Season's Results Bucknell 25-P-0ttsville Undergraduate .22 48-Hazleton Undergraduate .. .53 35-Mansfield S. T.

Keystone Favored 1While the Keystone squad will be the favored club on the boards tomorrow night because of its win over Bucknell in the previous meeting of these two clubs, the Bucknell five will be out to end the season with a win. From all indications, and taking into consideration the showing the club has made during the last few contests, the R~Istonmen will give the upper-state club plenty of trouble. It's rather difficult to put the finger on the reason for the sudden improvement in the junior college cage squad, but there definitely is new life in the club. Only about two memlbers of the team that started the season are still playing first-string ball, while the remainder of the club is composed of men who started the season parked on the bench. Joe Savitz, who really ·beg,an ~dropping the 11pber_e through the cords in the first King's College-Bucknell contest, has become a permanent member of the starting five. Danny Gilroy, who was virtually a scoring machine under cover, has also been firmly embedded on the starting squad, and has proven by his recent scoring feats that he can be a powerful factor in determining which end of the score the junior college is going to own . The last of the recently added scoring triplets is Joe Harvey, former Nanticoke High gridder and cage star, who has been dropping the pill through the hoops quite frequently of late. Harvey was not an active member of the squad during the early part of the season, but since joining the club has added considerably to the junior college scoring power. The two regular members of the squad who have -b een seeing plenty of action since the season started are Bill Johns, former GAR cager, and Joe .Swartwood, es- 119 Ashley High performer. Both men have been playing excellent ball :1nd a1:P Amo~g- ':!::. ~ tu:.:, "'"" 1.,,,. u.i. tl·e "•'ut • • '" ·_ _ _ _ _ __ I R C Plans • • • .

Sports Program Grows Only a few semesters ago Bucknell Junior College's sports activities consisted of basketball and an intra-mural sports program, which never did include every member of the student body. Today, the junior college has a better sports program than most colleges in this section of the country. The basketball team provided a foundation upon which today's sports program could be built. The second team to enter the junior college sports agenda was baseball, added to the list a year ago. Next came the am;iouncement that football would be sponsored by the school in the fall. Soon afterwards, wrestling was on the list of active sports. Now, as things stand, a tennis team will represent Bucknell in the collegiate sports world starting April 19. 1 Before too long this institution may go one step furth er in the sports world and. bring the girls into the ' sporting spotlight. Many of the colleges throughout the country at the present time have girl's basketball, field hockey, and sw:mming teams. Although no definite statement has been made there is reason to believe that the tennis team will be open to women players. SPIRIT IMPORTANT Ever since we can remember we have been hearing about college spirit. It was always the proper thing to say at a crucial moment when a fan came up with, "Let's give 'em the old college fight." Believe it or not, thi-s spirit, although sometimes the butt of many jokes, is really important. There is hardly an affair, either socially or athletically, that could be the least bit successful if the s,pirit was not driving the people involved. iD uring the war years, when this institution had an enrollment of approximately 3•00 students, there was little in the way of college spirit. This, however, could be expected, because people had a war on their minds. What i,s the ·e xcuse today ? The recent basketball and ~restJin~ contests were not the best example of college spirit. Perhaps, it is because the average college student is more matured to. day than the college lads of .old, who thought nothing of wearing a heavy fur coat, a silly dinky, and waving a school banner when dear old Siwash was playing its collegiate rival. S ince the · increased enrollment at this institution, there has been a noticeable rise in the amount of college spirit displayed by the members of the school, but it is still not • up to what it should be. There's really nothing wrong with yelling your head off when the occasion calls for such action. Many of the students think nothing of paying a dollar and a half to see a baseball team play and feel as though they have not received the most for their money if they don't · come home hoarse. Here at Bucknell the student is admitted to athletic contests free of charge and the only thing the student fans say all evening is -s omething like, "Gosh, it's hot in here. I wonder how much longer this thing can last?" LETTERS TO THE ED/TOA A Lettier to the Editor Dear Ed, I have often enjoyed the fine satire written .by Mr. Feelzwell which is very prudent in it's philoso,p hy, and I crave more of this material. Not for humor's sake, but for the Truth which is inherent therein. May I add a little note to his latest rema·r k pertaining to the carelessness of our manners about the campus grounds. !People are greeted in a very poor manner about the campus and the class. This merely reflects upon the students' poor breeding which was developed in the home and surrounding community. Res.pect has been tossed to the winds. The girls at our school are many times treated as mathematical equals, that is like "dogs". Disrespect has been prevalent in our school entirely too J,ong . A re-examination of social values is urgently needed within many student members. This reflection may also be shown in the young ladies' manners. Some of them are sloppy, and the use of good language is sadly lacking. Modesty, poise, and dignity has also •been cast aside. It is about time this institution developed something besides bookworms, crystal gazers, and nightclub specialists. We need more young ladies and irespectful gentlemen. William Tomusko Dear Ed, In reference to the spleindid Thes,p ian production o f "The Barretts of Wimpole Street", I was amazed at the ignorance of the student audience, who constantly laughed or giggled when an actor had to give his or her best in a profound dramatic moment which requires a tremendous emotional strain. Thi;! actors were besieged a nd distracefi by witty retors which probalbly satisfied the facetious jokers and mimics in the forward part of the audience. I know the majority of the people appreciated the fine acting combined with the sincerity and zest which the members of t he cast candidly presented. But the difficulties they encountered from a part of the audience and the dignified manner in which the play continued is a tribute to patience, diligent work, and the tremendous sacrifice of time which they so eagerly expended towards the play's success. My hat is off to excellent Thespian organizati on of which the school can acknowledge with pride. William Tomusko Friday, March 7, 1947 BISON. .GRAPPLERS CLOSE MAT SEASON WITH WIN DEFEAT BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY VARSITY GR.AiPPL-ERS, 19 TO 11 By HANK ANDERSON CROMWELL THOMAS Cromwell Thomas finished his first year . as coach of Bucknell Junior College's first wrestling team, when his aggregation topped the Bucknell University varsity grappli,ng t.eam, 19 to 11, Saturday night a t the Wilkes-Barre YMCA .

C. wrestling team finished its first season with an impressive ·19 to 11 victory over the Bucknell University varsity matmen at the YMCA last Saturday nig.h t, to make it two wins in five starts for the institution's first year at the mat sport. The wrestlers met some stiff competition in their initial season. This is evident by the large scores made by the junior college mat opponents during the first three meets, which the local grapplers lost to Cornell, Franklin and Marshall, and Princeton, before taki.ng their first victory over King's College grapplers. After the first three losses the junior college wrestlers· were shifted down to Joy.er weight divisions and with the experience they picked up during the early part of the season, the club began to shape up. Sparked by Vince Cavanaugh, former Forty Fort High School grappler, who had contributed the only team points during the first three meets, the junior college grapplers began to rack up victories when it met King's College. During the final two meets the team did some fne wres.t ling. The inexperience which had previously held the squad back was i!lO longer a h~ndicap. Cavanauglh, who compiled four victories in five starts, was Buck-: nell's outstanding matman. Captain Jim Farrell, also an ex-Forty Fort matman, and Steve Wolff, former Seminary grappler, gave good accounts of themselves. Walt Hendershot, who had no experience at the grappling game before coming to this institution, prove'ir in his last two matches that he has a genui,ne talent for the sport. Coach Cromwell Thomas did an excellent job of training his wrestlers. Wit'h most of the present material returning next year he will likely produce one of the best grappling squads in the East.

At Bucknell the change has not been too noticeable, but the girls go "allout" for the newest styles in clothes and hair-do's. Those good-looking suits with the long jackets, bustle effect, attractive 1buttons, and straight skirts have made their appearance and are becoming more numerous all the time. White or colored blouses with ribbon ties give the wearer that certain schoolmarm look and constitute an ideal outfit for school. Tidiness is one of the main factors of our modern dress, exemplified by sweaters tucked in skirts; wide belts around waists; skirts longer and more tailored; blouses with full, long sleeves and lots of embroidery. ·The girls are decidedly getting away from bobby sox. Attractive, low-heeled 1black or brown shoes are coming to the front, and a welcome sight they are. We think the . men will agree with that. 'Hair styles change little except to become more extreme. Upsweeps adorn a few heads, George Washington hair-do's (hair brought back and tied at the nape of the neck with a colorful bow) some others, feather cuts are losing out, we're sorry to say, and long hairdo's prevail. As for the remainder of women's fashions, they are · concerned mainly with jewelry aind accescessories too num'e rous to mention here. Frank Parkhurst, Inc.

SPANISH CLIM CUBA TRIP SET Under the sponsorship of the Pan American Airways, about 40 students of Bucknell Junior College will spend a week's vacation in Havana, Cuba, April 3-10. They will live in the Royal Palms Hotel during their stay, and will entertain in many different ways by the Havana Cham:ber of Commer,ce. The students will be the guests of the University of Havana and thus will be able to promote Pan American relations. They will tour various parts of Cuba and will see the cock-fights and sugar plantatiolils (for a slight fee you might obtain five pounds) . But most important of all, these Bucknellian ambassadors will be in Cuba for the spring fi esta and thus can expect top-notch hospitality from their Latin-American neighbors.

Mitana To Address Polish Club I opened the door to Kirby 306, took a few steps into the room, and froze in my tracks! I blinked twice, swallowed my gum, reached for my cigarettes and crumpled the package (making a mental note to report t he cigarette dealer to the Narcotics Bureau), swore off spirits for life, and wished wholeheartedly that I'd gotten some sleep the night before, because directly in front of me stood a naked skeleton (cartilaginous framework) thumbing its nose at me. I pretended that I didn't see it and quickly walked to my seat. I tried looking the other way, but with a magnetic force the framew,o rk of ,b ones drew my eyes back to it. I had seen it in the room before, but I had never seen its thumb (or what had been its thumb) perched on its a1ose (or what had been its nose). Beads of perspiration formed on my ·brow, and my left eye began to twitch. No one else seemed to notice the spectacle, and that increased my sweating and twitching. I looked forward to a dreadful hour of delirium tremens. Then the persOlll sitting n.ext to me laughingly said, "Did you notice what ,s ome jokester did to the skeleton?" Until the day of his death, that wonderful p,erson will never know why I embraced him and shed happy tears all over his camel's hair jacket. Thus relieved, I sat back and breathed easily again. At peace with my mind once mare, I began to think about the skeleton and wondered of its origin. Hundreds of questions rushed to my mind. Who was it? What was it? Was it a he or a she? How did it get here? My curiosity plagued me so that L decided to investigate. I dashed down to the office in Chase Ha.II and made inquiries of the proper authorities.

J\ large percentage of the top tW1es arp, merely written by putting modern words to classical melodies. The terrific hit "Till the End of Time" was written by using formula. An additional large percentage ar!'l tunes of yesteryear that nave been revived, because of the lack of enough good .tunp,s being produced by our writers of today. ' 1Guilty" is only one of the many t.u nes of this type. This leaves a small percentage of tunes coming from Tin Pan ~lley, and many of those arp, of inforior quality because they are copied from other songs. Perhaps you have noticed that "Oh, But I Do" sounds a lot like "Soft H.'larted" which was recorded in '38 by Freddy Martin. "What More Can I Ask For", one of Guy Lombardo's illewest releases, .reminds the listener of the popular hit, "Sonata". Upon furth,er ob 0 servation you will notice pairt of "Remember Me" in the Latin number "Managua, Nicaragua", and you will find that "You Broke Tbe Only Heart That Ever Loved You" has part of "You Won't & Satisfied" in it, which in tum was lifted from Peter DeRose's "Never A Day Goes By". The list is endless, but why go on? The ,p roof is obvious, sinCf! you've heard f?O many of · these songs yourself. · To support the accusation further, I irefer you to the popular novelty ".Mabel, Mab.<!l". · Dvorak wrote the music years ago. Recently it took three modern songwriters to add words and convert it into a ,below-avp,rage song. The same is true of Tchaikovsky's theme melody which you now know as "Save Me A Dream". Two of the popular songs making the rounds at present have been banned from the NBC network because of their . suggestive wordage. "Last Night On The Back Porch" is one of the two, and the.rp, are others. Speaking of songwritiillg, have you happened to see the Columbia musical picture "Sing Whil.<! You Dance"? It's impossible to construct a song by using the method that Ellen Drew used to write "It's A Blue World". This song incic,~ntally, is a good song which was featured by . Tony Martin severa\ years ago, and it wasn't written by the method shown in the pie. ture. Until Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter r~sume writing the kind of music which made them famous, and until capable men can be found to replace the loss of such musical greats as Gershwin and Kern, the, future of popular songwriting is not too bright. After days of intensive and thorough research through the archives of Bucknell, I was able to assemble a complete dossier on the past life of the skeleton. It was a she! (My findings fail to -s tate how this can be pointed out today.) Her name was Regina Mol'ltis. Her friends called her "Riggie." She was born in 1918 to fabulously wealthy . parents, who later lost their entire fortune in the Big Crash. This was a · great blow to Riggie, as she was exceptionally intelligent, being able to descri-be the arcbitecture of the Parthenon in detail at the age of two, and this meant that she couldn't continue her education. Her father, who became a circus barker, told her that if she wished to attend college, she must raise the money herself as there were no funds in the family coffers. After. After many failures to raise the mony, Riggie finally struck on a plausible idea. She decided to sell the rights to her corpse and skeleton to a college! With th e monetary allowance granted her, she would then be able to complete her education. Riggie made arrangements with the proper authorities and her corpse and skeleton were signed over to Bucknell Jr. College. Everything was fine until the fact that she wasn't eating .began to show. Rer ,t uition had ,been paid, but she had failed to make provisions for food. After six months of existing on illothing ,b ut Wrigley's chewing guip and Sen~Sen, she quietly passed away. It' wasn't a very full and happy life for Reggie. She had sold her skeleton and had got the short end of the bargain. To add insult to injury, she has been forced to stand all through the years and listen to countless Lectures, yet she is unable to get college credits for her attention. How this must hurt her heartless chest. Probably, if ,eyes filled the hollows in her face she would w.eep. Thumb your nose, Riggie! I don't blame you.

Only when the last cyst was• removed and the lung sutured .did anyonp, .show a semblance of ease. Streptomycin was injected in the pleural cavity, and only the tedious task of suturing remai.ned. The rib-retractors were r.P.moved and final suture completed. At this moment the child, shaking off the effects of the anesthp,sia, began to ,beat the air wildly with its hands. Relief, thankfulness, and joy were written on every face in t he room. The child, smothering to death a fow hours before, was i11ow obviously feeling better. Needless to say it was a well-pleasp,d group of students which boarded the bus for home. She: "Sometimes my fath er takes thi111gs apart to see why they don't go." He: "So what?"

STATION AT 7:45 OF FIRST FROSH EVENT; FORWEEK IN HAVANA~CUBA BUCKNELLIANS TO PLAY By TOM MORAN By HANK ANDERSON Since the mountain won't come to Mohamed, Mohamed simply must pick up his toothbrush and comb and journey to the mountain, or so it goes with the Spanish Department of Bucknell University Junior College, which is working on the assumption that if the Spanish speaking people won't come to the Spanish Department, it will bundle up its students and take them to the land of Spanish speaking inhabitants. The freshman class will sponsor the spring term cabaret party tonight at 8 :00 .P, m. in the St. Stephen's Church House Auditorium. This will be the initial event staged by the freshman class. The affair, moreover, will be the first of its. kind since the last summer session. The committees for the atfair have arranged a lively and entertaining evening for tonight, one that no one should miss. And next Thursday morning at 7:45 from the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station, approximately 46 student s and guests of the institution's Spanish Department w ill board a special car which will start them off on t he fir st leg of their seven day educational tour of Havana, Cuba. 'The first stop will ,be in Philadelp hia, where t he group will switch to the crack coast train of the Atlantic Coast Line for the remainder of t he trip to Miami, Florida. At the Miami airport t he local students and guests will board two transports for t he ·last leg of the journey ,by air. The trip will end at the Havana Airport late in the afternoon of April 4. As ~r as can b,e determined this is the first time in t he history of Pennsylvania colleges t hat such a trip ha s- been made possible by an institution for t he mcmb,ers of one of its language clubs. Word has been received by Miss Martha J . Silseth, head of the junior college Spanish Club, that both the Amer ica n and Cuban consuls, as well as t he t ravel a gencies of P an American Airways, WilkesBarre, Miam i, a nd Havana, have planned one of the most interesting trips ever arranged for a grnup touring the Lat in capitol. Every minute of the local group's stay in th e Cuba n capi tol has been pla nned so as t o provide the 45 WilkesBarre r esidents wi th the best in entertainment, both socially and educatio,nally.

Formal and ca ndid shots have been taken of everything that is in any way "photogenic" (and of some things that aren't so " photogenic") to make the publication all the more imteresting.

By JOHN HUDZIK "There is no intellectual confusion in the world today", said Dr. Thaddeus Mitana, well known Polish-American educator and l eeturer, in his speech delivered to members of the Polish Club and their guests on Sunday aftennoon, March, 16 in Chase H all. "However", stated Dr. Mitana, "we are in a state of moral confusion. Science has advanced to the stage where it follows intellectual g eometric plan. Everything is predetermined, and man is just am ephemeral part of a Ji ving mass. Natur e made man as a by-product in its ag eless p rocess of change. Man is just a fli cker in t ime; yet, in a ll etern ity, man alone is aware of his be ing-he alone is awar e of t he beauties of na ture. The rest of nature is una ware of its own existence."

Pictured above is supporting the subject of .story in the last issue of the Beacon co,ncern ing Regina Mortis, t he skeleton that has listened to countless lectures, bu t has never bee n given enough credit hours to become elig ible for a diploma. The Beacon avticle, written by Harold Rein, caused considerable conf usion among the instructors ( co ntinue<l on page 2) "It is here where moral confusion enters. Although man is aware of his being, he cannot answer the fundamental quest ions of why he is here or where he · is going aft er death.

Many fundamenta l fac ts of nature have 'r ecently been discovered and ca st a reflection on the t heories of the past. · Attention Veterans!!! Although begun only a few years ago, Bucknell students ap prove.cl of the ca baret party so er,thusiastically that it has become one of the few social traditions a t Buckr,ell Junior College. It has been correctly stated that the caba ret parties ,h ave more atmosphere than arty other affair. For each party, the auditorium is decorated in cabaret style : the room is dimmed to candle light ; tables for four are placed within good view of the stage; andrefreshments are ample and are conveniently served t o t he guests. To highlight the evening, the party invariably unveils a great deal of student ta lent. The summer cabaret party fea: tur,ed a wide variety of acts ranging from music to comedy. In the musical department, Reese Pelton and his orchestra did some of · its consistently fine work; John Martin crooned several numbers; and Tom Mol'8ill did some fine impromtu work on two Irish ballads. Winst o,; H ali' did some excellent pant omining and a comedy skit. A group wh ich called itself Anderson and Co. (Faith Davis, Nelson Nelson, Tom Moran, John.ny Milano; Hank Anderson) dramatized two skits, "Dick Tracy" and "A Da te with Harry". Featured as chief waiter for the pa r ty was Wesley Lane, who served refreshments from a cha r iot which was pushed around by his cohorts.

Such a situaition is a matter for the Dea:n of Women since it is absolutely against the criminal code for a male skeleton to impersooate a female.

While working on the sport dance plans were being wade to sponsor one of the biggest and most colorful semiformal dances ever held by this college on April 11. One of the reasons for the organization's success is completing plans for its future social activities is the cooperati:m among its members. Unlike the pre-dance meetings of committees of other organizations, there is no bickering among the members of the club, and everythiing moves along in an orderly and speedy manner. Poss.1bly, this is due to the fact that the members of the club have learned through their e~perience on the athletic field that there can be only one captain at a time and if success is to come of any attempted project, members must take orders from the selected captain.

Deciding to investigate, h e walked back and started to peek in the side window, · wh,en out of no where a booming voice said, "Who's out there ? Can they act? Bi:ing them in. What're their names?" Befo["e the associate .editor of the paper could say, "Open the Door Richard", he was whisked into the lighted th.eatre. Someone shoved a book into his hand and pointed toward the stage, ,O ne hour later, Anderson made his way out of the theatre thoroughly convine,ed that something was going on in the theatre and troubled by the thought that he had several pages of Shakespeari.ain play to memorize.

BISON CAGERS END SEASON; Student Council WIN CUP IN PJCAA.· TOURNEY Offers Minutes By iGARFIELD DA VIS This year's Bucknell Junior College basketball team finished with a less imposing record than that of the 1945-46 team but, as always, it provided its followers with many t hrills. As in the last, season Jo.e ·Swartwood dropp ed them in from all angles and made it look like the easiest thing in the world. Bill Johns could still be s.een barging down the court, eyes on the opposing team's .basket, looking like that much-spoken-of issesistible :force. And Bill Zukausky was still COlllfusing th,e opposition with his wizardry under the basket. We've been wondering for two years how 'Zuk' gets those shots off. Probably we'll n,ever find out. A talented group of basketeers turned out to support the three holdovers from last year's squad. Danny Gilroy teamed up with Swartwood at forward, and with his accurate shooting threatened to make . the Bucknell roote.r s forget the ! famed .Swartwood-Wit.ek duo of a 1 year ago. i J~e Savitz hook shot artist alternated with Zukausky at ' the center post. Joe also excelled in a puzzling maneuver or two, his favorite being a hook shot out of a quick pivot that he sent basketward on a fast, straight line. Bill Havery, on joining the team early in February, quickly sew,ed up the secOllld guard position, and like Bill Johns, was a superior defensive player. Harvey will be remembered for his aggressiveness. The res.erve forwards, S. Balchum, Paul Hufl, Earl Fritzges and Carl Gi,b son, and the reserve center, Bill Leeker, performed creditably when called on, as did the reserve guards, Danny Norman, Joe Pinola, Bob Anthony, and John Kane. Two of the contests this year RECORDS VICTOR DECCA COLUMBIA and Accessories -THE- CampUS Record Shop 14 W. NORTHAMPTON ST. Phone 2-07 40 were espe1;iaily exciting-the first games with :Pottsville and King's College. 'I'he Pottsville game was a thriller from start to finish. The teams were never separa ted by more than two points at any time in the contest. With two minuted to go, Pottsville l,ed, 22 - 21. On a wide-awake play, Swartwood intercepted a Pottsville pass and tossed to Harry Black, who tallied on a Jay-up shot. A few seconds latet Of Last Meeting BUCl(NELL LIFE-LINES By N. PERKOWSKI Bucknell's "Life-line to the Needy" began I a s t Monday. Through this Red Cro1,s campaign, the students have the opportunity 'to contribute their share toward the unfortunate persons who ne,ed it most. The altruistic efforts of this worthy organization are to be commended. Its servic,e in war and peace has received world-wide praise. But ther,e is future work whihch will hav.e to be done. Spring, to most people, means cherry trees and blossoms; but, to a lot of others, it means swollen ,r ivers and f,looded homes. The homeless families must b,e cared for .... that is the job of the Red Gross. It can't be done without funds. Each member of the community must ,extend his personal "Lifeline" to these disaster victims, regardless of what his contributions might ,b e. Several veteran rumors are currant on the campus concerning the activities of the Red Cross during the last year. These complaints have been answered in a brochure which may ·be found in Chase Hall.

There is No Substitute For QUALITY FRANK CLARK Jeweler 63 South Main Street �BUCK.NELL BEACON 4 Students Urged To See Advisers Time for mid-s,e mester grades .. Time to go see your faculty adviser . .. Time to find out where you stand in your scholastic career .. . and her,efore, it is also a good time to review briefly the system of student-faculty adviser relationship, which may be rather hazy in th.e minds of many but which should be clearly understood if it is to work effectively. East s.tudent is assigned to a facul t y member who is to act as his or her special adviser. As much a s possi ble, the faculty member is a tea cher in that student's major fi.eld of interest; however, this is not always possible to arrange, for it would overload some teachers and leave others with few advise.es. Once a student has been notified as to who his adviser is, th.e success of the system depends on the individual student and his cooperation in it. An entering student firs t conf.ers with his adviser about the course of study he should pursue, based on his i-nterests, background, and abiliti.es. If the conference goes alon g smoothly, the advisee may not see his adviser again until it is time to receive the mid-s.emester grades. this is a good time to review the weakn esses that have shown up and make plans to remedy them . However, the giving out of grad.:,s and th,e advising on the course of study are not the ooly purposes of this counselling system. If that were so, it would be very cut and dried. The couns.elling system is ,b ased fundamentally on two objectives: to give the student advice and assistance in obtaining th.e most out of his college life; amd to assist in preparing that student as much as possible for useful and happy living after college. With such goals in mind, th.e adviseradviseee relationship should not be limited to just the scholastic aspects of college, but should include also th.e social and the personal, which after all may have more permanent effect upon the indidvidual. The whole purpose of the counselling system breaks down if: 1. The adviser is not informed accurately through records and other information about the advisee and about the scholastic requirements to be met. 2. The student does not take sound advice given to him or fails to seek advice when it is needed and in time for it to be of real valu,e. 3. The personal relationship between the two individuals is not satisfactory. None of these things need happen, and it is up to both adviser and advisee to see that they do not happen When you go to see your advis.er about April 14 to obtain your mid-semester grades, have the attitude that you are going to get som.ething more permanen t out of the interview than g rades, and that you are going t o give something, too.

By GARFIELD DAVIS Coach George Ralston has announced that Bucknell Junior College's 'b aseball team will begin practic.e for the 1947 season soon after April 1. The squad will h old its practice s es,s ions at Kirby Park . At the present time the field- · house across the street from the Bucknell practice field is being whipped into shape for u se as a dressing r oom . Coach Ralstoo stated that he has been havi ng some trouble obtaining certain equipment, but that h e expects to have all required paraphernalia by the tim.e the trainin g session begins. Prospects fo r t his season are good, as many members of last year's successful t.eam are expected back this season. These include Al Valunas, outst anding hurler who came through with several victories and pitched one threehitt.er; Al Darte, slugging first baseman; Jerry Munzing, secondbaseman; Jack Reese, Shortstop, and Marty Warmus, clever thirdhas.eman who ran Bucknell's opponents diz zy with his speed on the basepaths. Also expected to be out for the team are George Russ, capable catcher oo last year's .s quad; Joe Baltrushes, who doubled as speedball pitcher and slugging flychaser, and Jack Kloeber, who stood out defensively as an outfielder last year. Newcomer expects to try for -p laces on this year's squad are Walt Hendershot and Crane Buzby; pitchers; John Jones and Bob Wat,:s, catchers; and John Florkie\\rrcz, outfielder. Coach Ralston is decidedly optimistic about the coming season and urges all men with previous base·h all experience, as well as others who would like to play, to come out for the team. Notices will be posted on the bulletin boards soon announcing the date of the first practice season.

Mary Porter, Sylvia Roth Proo:fireaders COUNCIL SCORES AGAIN Several issues ago we mentioned that the junior college could at last boast of a Student Council and the recent an"' nouncement that Charlie Spivak, one of the key-men in the musical world, would bring his orchestra here on May 24, proves the statement. The council handl-ing school government at the present time is definitely for the school and students. All one has to do to be sure that there is a competent group handling student affairs at Bucknell is to attend one of the Student Council's meetings. Everything about the meetings suggests sound handling. J ohn Reilly, president of the organization, has complete control during a meeting, but does not exercise his powers to th e point where one feels that he is unreasonably dominating the session. Outsiders are given a chance to taike part in the meetings, although such proceedings are not called for the student constitution. PEGGY WOOLCOCK PEGGY WOOLCOCK is the girl who captivated you with her performanc e as Elizabeth Garrett in the Thsepians' production of "Th.e Barrets of Wimpole Street'. She sings with the Dulcet Teens, local singing group, in h.er spare time. Peggy is another Coughlin High School graduate. At Bucknell she is studying for a B. A. degree, hoping to become a journalist. A little praise should be given to Joe Savitz, who is one of the most active members of the council. Joe .seems to specialize in arrang.ing for the junior college's dances. He was instrumental in arnt+1ging fo~ tonight's affair, which is being sponsored by the Lettermen's Cl-ub, and also did most of the work in connection with bring "The Man Who Plays The Sweetest Trumpet in the World" to this college on May 24. By JOE SULLIVAN The Bucknell Junior College baseball players have reached their peak in pre-s,eason practice drills and will play an exhibition contest with King's College tomorrow at Kirby Park. Both the · Bisons and the Kingsmen have been working out daily at Kirby Park, and th,e two coaches feel confident that their respective teams will be strong in the impending diamond campaign. Th.e local nine will play its first· ga me against a reportedly strong Hanover High School outfit on Friday, April 25, on the latter's field. The following afternoon, Coach George Ralston's lads will face th.e first real t est when they travel to .Selinsgrove where th.ey will take the field against S usquehanna Unive rsity. This game should throw some light on the comparative str.ength of the home team. Local city rivalry will be resumed between Bucknell a n d King's College in a regular league csqntest scheduled for April 28 at Kirby Park, with the Bisons being the home team. Coach Tom Brock has already indicated who will bat in the clean-up spot. Teddy Sherba, former M,eyers High School performer and batting star of a highly-rated Army team, has been levelling the fences with his tremendous drives and is set to cover centerfield. Otherwise, Brock has not hinted at his probabl.e starting lineup. Coach Ralston likewise has not decided on his opening-day 11neup. There are a number of candidat.es out for various positions on the team, and the competition is keen. Among the holdovers from last y.ear's diamond squad are: Outfielders Jack Klob er and Joe Baltrushes; Infielders Al Darte, Marty Wa rmus, J-ack Reese, and J erry Munzing. G.eorge Russ, catcher and third baseman, is back for th e 1947 campaign. Several valuable additions will -strengthen the local club, especially in th.e pitching department.

Mary Porter, Sylvia Roth SUPPORT ADVERTISERS In each issue of the ,B EACON there is approximately two and one half columns of advertising, paid for by the merchants of Wyoming Valley. Last week, when one of the organizations of this college sponsored a dance, there was occasion to order about 10 dozen roses. Instead of the club ordering from a merchant who supports one of the school activities, the floral arrangements were taken care of by another concern. This is the first time such a thing has happened, but having ha,ppened once it was costly enough. The florist who was left out of the picture completely, even though he offered the flowers at a cost much lower than was paid, decided there .was little sense in supporting a school that failed to recipro,.cate when it had a chance. All clubs in this school are asked to be particularly careful before placing orders. Remember, the ;vearhook, the literary magazine, and the college newspaper, can use the support of people outside the school. When a merchant is gracious enough to support a school activ;ty, let's return the favor when possible. Rogers Bill May Raise Vet Pay $35 Recognizing the necessity for a raise in veterans' subsistence allowances, a bill will go before the •House Sub-Committee on Veterans' Affair-a, on May 10 asking for a flat $35 increase to both single and married veterans. According to figures released rea,ntly by the Veterans Administration, 300,000 veterans have dropped out of ~hool because of inadequate funds. The· Rogers ·Bill is the first offidal move taken toward increasing the veterans' subsistence. . Robert L. Johnson, president of Temple University, sent a telegram to the Houses Sub-Committee on Veterans' Affairs, supporting the new proposal. Before bacl<ing the bill, the president of Temple University carried out an investigation of his own. His survey covered over 4,000 student veterans and revealed that single vets required between $90 and $100 per month to remain in school, and that married vets require between $125 and $150. Here on our campus the situation is the same. Veterans need more money. Out of the $65 per month received by the s :ngle veteran there is little that can be saved after the monthly expenses are met. The married veteran is even worse off. He receive-s ·only $25 more and out of this has to come the rent and food bill. Without a doubt, the married veteran can not get along on the subsistence alloted to him by the government. Most of the veterans must devote part of the time that should be used .in studying, on outside j01bs. Harry Dubin, president of the Student Veterans Coordinating Committee, which is sponsoring the drive at Temple University, stated that further campus action is necessary because action on the bill is coming to a crisi,s. If you are interested in seeing this bill passed write to your represent~ tive in Washington and tell him you would like him to give his support to the proposal. LETTERS TO STUDENT POLL THE EDITOR In view of all t he semi-formal D.ear Editor: At present the Student Council is trying the perplexing parking problem. The letter in last week's issue of the .Beacon by John Martin has demonstrated the grave need for a solution . The facts of the case clearly indicate that some provision mu-st be made to aid those students who drive to school. They must have parking space for certain periods of time daily. It is unjust to expect them to park their cars in city lots where the f.ees are expensive, considering the irregular class periods most of them have and the necessity, in most cases, of parking five days a week. The Student Council has done an excellent job to date. The existing parking situation is the most difficult issue the ·Council will have to face. The problem will become even more complicated when the college expands to assume the responsibility of a four-year institution. The logical answer would seem to be a parking lot operated by Bueknell a.nd for Bucknell students. However, the immediate possibility of fulfilling such a measure is extremely doubtful. In any event, prompt action must be taken toward finding a remedy for the existing state of affairs. JOE SULLIVAN Dear Ed, This is not a gripe but merely a constructive suggestion. First of all, I would like to tip my hat to the student council for creating a new spirit at the college. However, in spite of the new spirit and all the new social events, there is something lacking. To help locate this somethiing which ls lacking, I would like to suggest the formation of at least one B. U. J. C. Inter-Collegiate Athletic League comprising the various clubs on the campus. I may l;.e wrong, but I think the league would strengthen the clubs and create a new iriter.e st of friendly rivalry between the differe,n t clubs. , I am sure the boys of the PreMedical Society, the I. R. C., or the Polish Club, not mentioning the other various clubs, would enter into a B. U. J. C. Inter-Collegiate SoftJball or Tennis League. Since the college vet s are not re• quired to take physical tr,a ining, wlhich w:!ry few do take twice a week, ( am sure the boys would enjoy a few hours ooce a week of athletics to maintain their muscular form. I know quite a f,ew of the boys are very interested in athletics ibut are unable to play for the college on th.e regular ,t eam because of the time involved for daily practice; whereas, a B. U. J. C. Inter-'Collegiate League would eliminate tJhat problem of practice, give the boys an hour or two a week of athletics, stimulate the clubs, and create an interest or new spirit that seems to be lackiing. I am sure Coach George Ralston would cooperate 100 per cent and help form the new athletic league if he w ere approached. Ralp:h P . Carey· and Edwin M. Kosik Dear Professor Feelzwell: We hereby inform you that we are particular as to who accompanies us on our expedition! The few students that you have chosen do not measure up to our standards. We'd rather have "Smoe" and "Joe" accompa,ny us. Their company is much more refined. As for our destination, we'd like to go and find out how things ar.e in Glocca-Morra. If we find a wishing well there, we'll wish thatwell, never mind. If our wish comes true, YOU'·LL never know what it was, anyway. If w,e can't go there, we'd like to go to India and find out the answers to our many questions-you know, like Tyrone Power did in dances that have been held in the past and those that will be held in the near future, th,e Beacon has decided to use this week's Student Poll as a means of discovering just what the student think of semiformal affairs . Question: What is your opinion of semi-formal affairs? PA UIL WII NTERS - There are too many. A cabaret party -at the Country Club would .be a novel idea. ·OLAJYTOIN KARAMBE-LA.S - I like the idea of having a lot of. semi-formal dances because it gives everyone a,n opportunity to go at one time or another. H!ARRI.S HA V A~D - They are very niee but we are having too many. CLAIRE FISCHER- There can never be too many semi-formal dances as far as I'm conc.e rned. ANDY ROAN-Instead of semiformal dances, there should be some strictly formal affairs held. EARL WOLFE~ Once a month is okay. If there are t oo many, however, they lose their flavor. CHARLOTTE DAVIS-They are very nice, but I thi,n k a farmer dance would be fun for a change. Meet Me Tonight By The River Meet me tonight by the river, When the moon is riding high, When the stars above inspire love, As they sparkle in the sky. J. C. NINE - NOSES OUT l(ING'S, 11-10 WATERS STARS Monday, April 28-Bobby Waters, rightfielder for this colleg.e 's baseball team, may not be the fastes t thing on a diamond, but this afternoon the gods of baseball added wings to the feet of the little man as he pounded down the basepath from third in a successful attempt to steal home with the winning run to beat King's College 11-10. In a contest which• saw the lead change hands about four times, both teams finished the ninth i,n ning in an 8-8 deadlock. Aft€.r a scoreless tenth inning, King's added two runs in its half of the elev,mth and it looked as though th.e other city college was going to take home the win. Pulling a Frank Merri.well finish out of the bag, Bucknell filled the bags, as a result of a hit and two walks, when Jack Josephs drove out a single· to bring in two runs. Jack Jon.es, who looks like one of the best catchers in the. collegiate circles, stepped up to the plate, with the winning run, in the form of Bob Waters, perched on third base. Sudde.nly the pudgy rightfielder broke for the plate and amid a cloud of dust and plenty of confusion, slid safely across with the big run.

'!'hat's a point that no one can ar gue on, not even you, dear Fellzwell. Someone asked the Lieutenant who Professor Feelzwell was and she told him. He said he fell-z-well, do.esn't he? To which the Lieutenant replied, "'The Captain a,nd I don't think he looks too well. We think if he took a trip somewhere -a trip to Minnesota would bring back that ruddy complexion that mak,es the men look SO handsome -he would live up to the name Feel-z-well or Feel-zwell !" We can't under.stand why h.e won't leave. It's either because of oi.:r outstanding sweetness or becaus.e he just doesn't _think we (the Captain and the Lieutenant) can get along without him. I'd be willing to swear that a few days after he departed, we-th.e Captain and the Lieutenant - would take the first means of transporta.tion whether plane, train, or car ; I, the Captain, would even walk (only if I had to) and the Lieutenant would, too (if it were an order) and follow him. That's because h.e simply fascinates us; .there's no one in the world like him. Almost choked on that.

Wilkes Charter Day An Historical Event WILKES RECEIVES CHARTER IN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY By ROBERT MIKULEWICZ Wilkes College receive-d its charter last Thursday in an impressive, stirring eaeremony witnessed by trustees, friends, and students of the newly born college. The speakers, which included Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, former Preside?it of Bucknell University; Dr. Herbert J. Spenser, pres.ent President of Bucknell University; Attorney Gilbert S. McClintock, Chairman o.f the Board of Trnstee.<J; and Dr. Eugene S. Farley, President of Wilkes College, discussed the g.rowth, transition, and futu.re of Wilkes College. The program was opene-d by Dr. Charles S. Roush of the First Baptist Church who asked for blessings and guidance for Wilkes College. Following the invocation the choral club, under the leadership of Mr. Paul Gies, sang "Ave Verum '' by Mo:i:art. During the rendition th e cloudy skies cleare-d and the s un shone direetly upon the singers, like an omen of good will and happy clays. Attorney Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the board of trustees, made the opening address and in- troduced Dr. F; ugene S. Farley, the President of Wilkes College, who took charg.e of the proceedin~s. Dr. Farley then introduced Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, who was President of Bucknell University from 1935-1945. Dr. Marts told how Bucknell University Junior College was started in the trying days of 1933. At that time Dr. Homer Rainey was President of Bucknell Unive"rsity. Dr. Rainey, approached by Dr. F . Davis on the proposition of establishing a Junior College in Wil}t.es-Barre, enthusiastiically accepted the plan. A building was rented, equipment was installed, and about a dozen instructors began commuting from Lewisburg to Wilkes-Barre. The first enrollment at BUJC numbere-d 153 students. That was the picture our school presente-d in 1933. These were dark days in our school'i- hstory, and when Dr. Arnaud Marts became President of Bucknell University we were in the midst of the country's greatest depression and BUJC was operating at an annual loss of several thousand dollars. At that time it was JULY 10 DEADLINE . FOR APPLICATIONS FOR ENGINEERS I stated that Dl·.

He was determined to keep the Junior College functioning in spite . of the difficulties that were being encountered. Dr. Marts told of inducing Dr. Eugene Farley to come to WilkesBarre in 1936 to take charge of the institution. It was under the leadership of Dr. Farley, who, with the cooperation of the truste.es, led BUJC to a position where the school was able to go out on its own. , Dr. Marts paid public tribute to Dr. Farley, Attorney McClintock, th.e trustees, and to all who furthered the advance of our school. Dr. Farley's speech which was titled, "The Realization of a Dream", discussed events leading up to the granting of the charter by the State of Pennsylvania. Dr. Spenser, President of Bucknell University since 1945, offered his congratulations and expressed his appreciation to all who made possible this first charter day celebration. Dr. Spenser explained that when he became the President of Bucknell University, he found the Junior College a flourishing institution. Dr. Spenser continued the work started by Drs. Rainey and Marts. Dr. Sp,enser presented to Attorney McClintock the official document, turning over to Wilkes College assets totalling approximately $1,000,000. Attorney McClintock also accepted for the school the State Charter from Dr. Henry Klonower of the State Department of Public Instruction. · On presenting the charter, Dr. Klonower said, "A debt to an emerging generation is being paid with the establishment of this institution." Dr. Marts summarized the feelings of the alumni, the students, the faculty, and · the community when he said, "Never take Wilkes College for granted. It is an institution built on years of planning and human sacrifice.'' 1 Photo l>y Hiznay Dr. Eugene s. ·Farley, addressing the Charter D_a y audienc,e, Left to right: Dr. Charles S.

Marts, former president of Buck representative of the State Boarc McClintock, Chairman of the Boar John Wilkes Lover of Liberty John Wilkes was born in England on Octo~er 17 ,1725. He was destined to become one of the most famous men of his · gene·ration. John was a ch.ii<;! of exceptional ugliness. Howev.er, he overcame th's defect by an engaging personality and during the whole of his childhood he won the .esteem of everyone he met. He spent the first nin.e years of his life studying :it home, where he was dominated by a stern and Puritanical r.eligious training. In 1734 he was sent to a boarding school at Hertford. Five y,~ars later he was placed under the care of the Rev. Matth.ew Leeson. Then in 1744 he enrolled in Leyden University where h.e made some staunch friends. Soon after his twenty-first birthday he discontinued his studies and married Mary M.e ade, In 1750 the eouple had a daughter Polly, who became her father's constant companion. During his entire life, John Wilkes advocated freedom. He was the editor of the newspaper called the NORTH BRITON. His most "famou s issue, "?'•fo . 45", contain-~d a criticism of a speech of the King's. This caused serious reper·cussions and he was prosecuted by the law. However, he was soon d1s. clia1'ged with the cry of "Wilkes and Liberty"-and · his name became a household word on the lips <if his fellow countrymen.

The afternoon was spent swimming, hiking, and playing soft ! ball. The ball game lasted only five ·. innings because of a sudden show, er, but the sun soon came out ; again and everyone gathered · around the outdoor fire place for refreshments. There were grilled · wieners and hamburgers with all the trimmings, potato chips, pretzels, cookies, and soda. After ev.e ryone, including t he mosquitoes, had finished eating, the more energetic members of the group went swimming while the rest went to the cottage to listen to records and play games. Late evening found a tired but happy, well-fed BEACON staff returning to the city. It is hoped that future BEACON picnics will be just as big a success as this one was and that anyone who missed th is affair will be sure to attend , the next one. At last Friday's meeting, The International Relations Club completed the installation of officers for the Summer Semester. The following officers were elected: President, William Tumusko; VicePresident, Ralph Car,ey; Treasurer, Howard Trammel; and Secretary, John Pelish. During the elections an irregularity occurr,ed, which gave the members an opportunity to display their knowledge of democratic ,election procedure. The first ballot tally indicated that Ed. Kosik and Bill Tumusko were tied for the chairmanship. After much discussion concerning the merits and demerits of another secret ballot vote, the club decided to continue elections until the other office vacanci.es were filled. As soon as the other officers were elected, another ballot vote was held for the presidency. This time the vote 1·evealed that Bill Tumusko had been elected to the presidential office. Following the business meeting, the group held an open discussion on the Taft-Hartley Labor Bill. "Tex" Trammel served us moderator for the discussion. At next week's meeting the group will discuss "The Marshall Plan For Europe". STUDENT COUNCIL PRESENTS MINUTES Election for the above nominees will be held on Tuesday, June 24, 1947 at 11 :00 A. M. Sophomore elections will be held in Chase Theatr,e. Junior elections will be held in Chase Lounge. Mr. Savitz made a report to the Appropriations Committee.

Their departure to the realm of Mor,phe,Js neither disturbed nor was noted by Feelzwell until some gentleman with ventriloquilic capacities began to snore. Unable to determine which of the sleeping scholars was audibly inhaling and exhaling Feelzwell attempted to ignore the disturbance. However, as th,e sounds changed from the putt putt of an outboard motor to the roar of a PT boat Feelzwell himself inhaled deeply and .emitted a deafening roar which blasted the eyebrows from the students in the second row (no one .ever sits in the front row). From then until the end of the lecture all went well. Half of ·i;he class had be.en so startled by the professor's yodel that they had the jitters. The other half which had been awakened managed to remain thus until the finish. As the professor lowered his voice, indicating that he was almost through with the .eyebrows, there was a sla,p ping of notebooks being closed accompanied by a s·huff!ing of feet as the seekers after knowledge herded toward th door, migrating to greener pastur,e s of learning. , ff.A.WHITEMAN· 3 WLLKES BEACON Library Receives More Books .

The team from West Point has not lost a coI1Jtest in the past two years and repor ts from that area have it that the Jayvees will be even stronger this season. * * * * Back in 1943-44 Kingston High School had a fairly good imitation of the Army Touchdown Twins, in the form of Leo Castle and Jack Feeney. Both lads attained all-scholastic honors in the valley, Ca-s tle for his .brilliant passing in 1943, and Fe.eney for hi fine wo1;k on the end post in 1944. The announcement from Coach Ralston, last week '111-ade it known that both boys will be playing in Wilk.es uniforms this season. Feeney •played plenty of ball while in th.e Navy and following his discharge went to Lafayette College where he was a member of that institution's football squad last season. 1Castle also played a good bit of ball in it.he Navy and following his discharge he emolled in Wyoming Seminary. Everything went well for the fast little backfieldma·n during the early part of last season, until he injured his right knee and had to take it easy during most of the remainder of the season. However, th.ere is a good chance that the ex- Kingston star will be in good shape when he reports to this institution. * * * * Plans are .b eing completed for the issuance of new Student Passes, which will be good for all student activiti.es as well as all home athletic ,contests during the 1947-48 season. Unlike last year, the passes will not be good at games played away. Here goes with the suggestions again and this time it's the sam,e •old story that we've been harping on for the last two semestersWhy isn't the King's-Wilkes football gam.e changed to the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 29? · Here are the advantages: 1. Since b~th schools are still' new at this promoting of athletics, they cannot hope to meet all the expenses with the proceeds of the contests, :but must hop.e for a fairly good size profit from the athletic events. 2. The game at present is scheduled for Saturday, October 25 at Kingston Stadium. There also wi,!J ,b.e 14 other high school contests played on that same day here in the valley. As we mentioned befor,e this collegiate sports business is still something 'new to us and even newer to the folks that do not go to school-they, incidentally, make up the majority of the adult admissions. Therefore, the ouitsiders will go to a contest which is establish: d as a yearly affair~in this case -the high sch661 foot/ball contest that 1,h.ey've been attending every year. That leaves a few loyal mothers and fathers to attend the King's Wilkes contest, as well as s.e veral hundred of the stude!1lt ,b ody, who will be admitted on student passes. 3. Now comes the •punch line, we hop.e. If the contest is played in Kingston Stadium on November 29, the _Saturday a:titer Thanksgiving, it will be the curtain closer for Wyoming Valley football and it will be the only contest scheduled on that day. The fans are a little sorry itha:t th..e season's over after the ,usual Turkey Day classics . We know we are, and t hey would welcome a final contest in the form of a college grid game between two local colleges, who are naturals as a drawing power. . Maybe there are a few points which could be brought up against th.e changing of the date, but they aren't worth looking into. Let's do something about it NOW. LE-T 'S NOT W Arr until the season is here, or until King's has signed a contract with some big school to play a Thanksgiving contest. If the school is looking for a contest which will break all attendance records once it's been .established-change the King's-Wilkes grid contest to the SATURDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. ij .; Although the fall and the sharp, biting football weath,er are still two months away, the Wilkes College Athletic Department, under th.e direction of George F. Ralston, la st week r<!leased an eight game schedule for the 1947 grid team. The announcement lists three new teams on th.e schedule of opponents for the local institution. The new opponents are Army Junior Varsity, New York A&M Col1.ege, and National Junior College. Bucknell University Junior Varsity has been dropped from the schedule. The first game of the season,, and more than likely one of the toughest on the agenda, is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, when the Wilkes eleven will journey to West Point to meet the powerful Junior Varsity squad representing the U. S. Military Academy. The second game of th,e year will find the local squad meeting Pittston Vocational School on Saturday, October 4, at West Pittston Stadium. On Saturday, October 11, Wilk.es will make its debut before the home fl'OWd when it engages Keystone College ,eleven at Kingston Stadium. On Saturday, October 18, New York A. & M. College will be th.~ opponent at the Kingston Stadium. The biggest game of the s.eason, will 1be the King's College-Wilkes gam.e on Satmrday, Octobe~- 25 at Kingston Stadium. After an open week, the Wilkeseleven will journ.ey to Doylestown on Saturday, November 8, where National Junior College will play host to this institution's squad. Back home on Saturday, November 15, Wilkes will meet Dickinson Junior College from Williamsport. This contest also scheduled to be play.ed at Kingston Stadium. The Ralstonmen will write finish to their 1947 season on Saturday, November 22, when they will run · up against a strong Wyoming s.eminary club at Kingston Stadium. According to George Ralston, coach of the Wilkes eleven, this institution will be repr,e sented on th 1947 collegiate gridiron by a club that will have plenty of power. Many of the men who will b,e battling for berths on this year's Wilkes squad have had experi,ence on other collegiate gridirons. Campus Clowns Take Second Straight Tilt From I. R.

Mr. Ralston has been working with a student committee whose duty it is to investigat,e and make recommendations to the Student Council concerning the establishment of an honor system at Wilkes. Basing his report from a study of ,extant honor systems, Mr. Ralstoa said that an honor system requires the ultimate in a student, that the most effective factors have their roots in tradition, and that those who break this tradition are expelled. Thus an effective honor system r,equires the ultimate in personality. Mr. Ralston further stated that we are desirous of making for Wilkes College a tradition whereby the democratic way of life will become a vital part of our college It was pointed out that honor systems have had .a toll levied on them sinc,e the war, because of the influx of veterans into our colleges and universities. Such a condition is probably caused by a state of unrest, and a relaxation of ethical codes such as is evident in all our people today. As a result of a late education, veterans have been hurriedly meeting reqiu,ir,ements and have not been obtaining the training needed in intellectual integrity. This training might possibly be received by establishing an honor system. Mr. Ralston also sta ted that an honor system must - evolve. The students must first be enlig.htened, and then gra<lually shown the benefits derived from. an intellectual integrity. Mr. Ralston promised assistance from the ad.ministration, bu:t pointed out that the honor system must come from the students themselves. As a result of investigation (continued on page 3) IRC Speakers Discuss Present Condition of European People Attorney Charles N.

Can't Take It With ~ou, a h1lanous comedy about a unique fa~ily and their oddities, has been hailed as one of the foremost American comedies. The play is centered around Grandpa Vanderhof, a retired businessman who decided to enjoy life. The role is played by David Jones, who last appeared in The Barrets of Wimpole Street. Grandpa's family is made up of his daiughter Penny Sycamore, her husband Paul, their daughter Alice, and a niece and nephew. H,elen Davidson, who was last seen as a Lady-in-Waiting to Lady Macbeth, portrays the impulsivtl Penny very effectively. Dani.el Williams plays Paul in the same easy manner as he played the sea captafo in Twelfth Night. Paul's and Penny's daughter, Alice. the only sane memb.er of the family, will be enacted alternately by Miriam Golightly and Shirley Salsburg. The role will be in capable hands as both actresses have had experience with that type of role. James Walsh, who has appeared as Fleance in Macbeth, will play the role of Ed, the child-genius in the family. His sister E:ssie, an aspiring ba!Let dancer, will be played by Catherine Stuccio. The aristocratic Kirby family, which acts as a direct contrast to the fun-loving and carefree Sycamores, is introdu.ced to Grandpa's menagarie through Tony Kirby's -amorous pursuit of Alic,e. The role is divided between Sheldon Fried and Edward Morgan, both of whom display a natural ability for the part. Caryl Galow and George Dale enact the roles of the stuffy Kirbys. They give a true and skillfuul interpretation of the wealthy Kirbys. , In addition to Grandpa's immediate family, there are various characters who contribute toward the s,emi-lunacy which prevails over the household. Rheba, the colored maid, and Donald, her boyfriend, contribute their share toward the existing confusion. These roles are colorfully portrayed by Sylvia Roth and Alfred Moskowitz. The family's iceman who came · to dinner and stayed i-s played by Alfred Colmer, and as Mr. De Pinna, he too adds to the gen.era! confusion. Essie's ballet teacher, a boom· R · h t d d · mg uss1an w o ra es ancmg lessons for meals, is played by Harold Rein. As Kolenkhov, a lost member of Russian aristocracy, he introduces the Grand Duchess Olga Katrina to the Sycamores. The Duchess is expertly portrayed by Vye Hunsi. A visiting cast-off actress who contributes nothing toward the much-needed peac,e in the Sycamore home is played by Edie Rudolph. N. A. Perkowski, w.ell known for his work in "The Barrets," is unable to cope with Grandpa as Hendeitson, a f~trated Income Tax Co!Lector. Robert Nolan, Jack Powell, and Eugene Baut play the G-Men who temporarily shatter the make-believe existence of th Sycamores.

We wer.e reluctant to say anything because we felt t hat the r.~cent Council -e .ections might have some influence toward making that group a more efficiently functioning unit. However, t he Council has had an opportunity to demonstrate its abilities in numero us instanc-es during this semester. The results show that it has fallen down on the job. Th.e Council's recent action of cutting the Pre-Medical Club's request,ed budget from $56.00 to $10.00 before passing it was the mistake · · error was one of a senes · that finally aroused us to say somethmg. This of g reat errors made by the Student Council since lat:! last s.emester. In re·, rospect, we should like to list some of the decisions made by the Student Council which have l;een the results of poor judgment. The first of these faulty measures occur.ed during the closing weeks of last semester. At that time this college was invi·, ed by th.e National Student Organization to send two delegates to its convention at Madison, Wisconsin (May 16 issue of Beacon) . The trip expenses of the r.epresentatives were to be paid by th.e Council. Despite ferven t efforts made by Jo-e Savitz, a member of the Student Council, to have this colleg,e represented at t he conv.ention, the Counci l refused to send the delegates to the convention. Yet at the same time, the Council was preparing to appropriat.e $3,000 for a dance, from which it knew it wou ld suffer a terrific loss. Representation at the National Convention wou-ld have brought ____ y aluable _i nformation and needed prestige to this column. Furtgermore, such representation would have created intell.ectual activity among our students. The dance, at best, could bring us an ev.ening of entertainment. We wish to say that despite the fact that th3 dance committee chairmen wrote in the $1500 loss as "balance saved on Ent.erprise", the Council suffered the biggest sing le financial s.et-back in its history. The chairmen apparent1y felt they were entitled to call their loss a saving since they had only lost $1500 of the $3,000 they wer,e authorized to spend. This, however, is odd reasoning. The Council obviously felt it could not afford to sponsor an activity of intellectual scop,e, one which would have cost very little. It was, however, ready and able to lose $1500 on the dance. Now, we understand, the Council is s,ill in the thro.es of finding just wh_a t its financial status is. In the meantim.e, the Council apparently is guarding its budget to the best of its abiliLy. Since the Cind.erella Dance of last semester, we h_a ve had only one dance of any kind. The one dance we had was arranged so carelessly that the Beacon was forced to wait far past its <lead-line in an effot to discover what band was to be engaged for the Friday night affir. When the printer could wait no long.er, the Beacon had to carry its story without th-e name of t he band. On Thursday night, the Council got around to engaging the Bucknellians for t.he danee. No one knew there was ·to be a dance until the Beacon was distribut.ed on Friday. 'Iben no one knew who was to play. The dance story in the newspaper was vague, and we suspect that the vaguenness might have been mistaken by sludents as a reflection on our staff. Needless to say the crowd at the affair was small. Had Wilkes students been accustomed to having dances provided for them on Friday nights, the crowd undoubtedly would have been larg,er. Since no dances had preceeded rthis one, the s~udents prob!lbly f.e lt that Friday night affairs were out of vogue. Even in the days of the most inefficient Student Councils, of which we have had a number, students wer-e able to plan for Friday night activities. But not now! And certainly not tonight ! Is the Council saving for a gigantic affair in September? During a period of eight weeks, the Council has sponsored t wo affairs, one of which was an outing held on Tuesday afternoon, a difficult time for students to do anything but attend classes. The Council provided funds for the language clubs to hoi<l their Fiesta, but was not required to help plan the party. Sponsorship of two affairs in eight we,eks is not a record of which to be proud. The Pre-Medical Club, as previously mentioned, requ.ested $56.00 to pay for trips pertinent to th.e activities of this club and for expenses incurred at meetings. Ed Burtsavage, president of the club, was stunned (and rightly so) when he discov.ered that his club was granted only $10.00. One should compare thi s ·budget proportionately with that of the Thespians, which the Council declared was outrag.eou-s . But the budget was ultimately passed . If one were to compar.e the Pre-lM.ed budget with any oth 2r budget in this ins '. itution, he would find it is practically negligible. The Pre~Medical Club felt that it was being extremely cons.ervative in its request. The Council felt that the •Pre-Med Club was being terribly avaricious. The Council does not want to pay for any trips that the future doctors ever intend to take. Bu,t r.emember, the. Cinderel,a Ba,! was run at a $1500 Josi. Doesn't the Council k~ow that the Pre-Med Club i·s mor.e of an asset to Wilkes ·college ihan any dance? (Poet Harold Rein says so on t his page in heroic couplets). Doesn't the Cotincil r,ealize that trips mad-e by the Pre-Med group help increase the knowiedge of members of that club, that such trips encoura-g.e pre-medical students to enter this college, and that such trips produce publicity which adds prestige to the school? At the same meeting at which the Pre-M.ed Ckb was turned brutally away, the I. R. C. budget of $41.00 was approved. Why was one budget d.enied while another was approved'? Was it because the PreMed Club is not well represented on the Council? Actually there is no reason why th.e I. R. C. -should not be granted its budget. But is the Pre-Med Club less deserving? It might be added that the Beacon requested $100 for awards from the Council. The request was rejected unanimously. The Cou,ncil stated that it will not grant moneta1·y awards to anyon,e. The Council suggested that the request shou,d be submitted which would involve no monetary awards. Perhaps the Co1;ncil is rig ht in making that decision. At any rate, the Beacon is off.ering no complaint. It intends to fo i,Iow the advice of the Council by finding another method of awarding. ·Th.e Council has demonstra ted to the students of Wilkes that it ~ill give little cooperation to activities that try to promote intellectual activity at this college. '!'he Cou-ncil is interested in watching its budget. It has established a false economy. How carelessly "tight-fisted" the Counci-! is! }·or example, at a 1·.ecent Student Council meeting (minut.es printed in Ju,y 18 issu-e) a member of the Council -made a motion that the Council should p1,rchase a !Public Address system. The members stated that a commit,ee had investigated prices of various P. A. systems and that on<! could be obtain,ed for $300. Several thoughtful members of the b ro:.. p suggested that further investigations be made. One of these men:b.ers suggested to the Council that he was certain he could obtain ; the item at a lower price. But the rest of the Council would listen to no such "foolish.ness". It wanted a P. A. system, and it want.e<l it immedia te! y. Th · 1·1cabl e m · th a t t he co II ege h as b.een wit • h· e h as t e 1·•s mexp out such a system for years. Nevertheless, the Council proudly pur chased its new instrument. Now we hear from sources other than members of th.e Council that the sbudent group could have obtained a P. A. system for half the price somewhere else. Some Council members wondered also who d~legated the authority to provide for an investigation committee. The president of the Council, as we and many others understand, do.es not have the authority to appoint anyone to anything without at least calling a special meeting of the Council. · Paying much more than the value of an it.em is bad business. And it is worse to refuse to listen to a fellow member who warns that t he price of an item is too expensive and that it can be obtained elsewhere at a more reasonable rate. As we hav~ l!_~temptetl to point out, the Council has lacked good judgment. The Council shou,ld remember that Wilkes students want better student government, and they intend to have it! INTRAMURAL PROGRAM The Intramural softball program has stimulated more interest among Wilkes students than has any other extra-eurricular activity in the past. Such a plan was J.evised last summer by student:; <>f this college, but it was not until this summer that it was decided to have an intramural program. Almost ev,ery day students are engaging in this activity held at Kirby P.ark. As a result of this program every student has an opportunity to engage in the sports program. Those who ar,e participating in baseball are taking the game and the league seriously. EveryoM is out to win the proposed trophy which is being asked of the Stud.ent Council. The intram,u-r al program should not confine itself to softball. It should envelop football, basketball, wrestling, and those other sports Wilkes will sponsor on an intercollegiate basis. In fact, ,the program should not confine itself to sports. It should include activities such . as debating, oratory, and other activities of an intellectual nature. We hope the softball league will start an .expansive intramural program. JORDAN Est. 1871 Men's Furnishings and Hats of Quality tt 9 West Market Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

The Clowns won · their third straight game when they beat the Pr.e-Med Club 10-2. The Pre-Meds scored two in the first on a round tripper by Glowacki, but were Ull.7. able to tally thereafter. The ·Clowns displayed more of their hitting power by pounding extra ba-se blows. "Moose" Galita, · Clown catcher, drove a homer over th.e left field wall in the fifth. The game marked the third time that Marty Blake has issued seven hits this season. The Clowns won th.eir second vietory over the untied and unprac. ticed Beacon team by a 19-3 score. i The Clowns, aided by numerous · B_ea~on errors, put on a powerful h1ttmg . attack to make a rout of th e tilt. Beacon Loses in Tenth Th.e Beacon outfit with the benefit of one game's experience under its belt lost a close game to th,~ Faculty nine by a score of 9-7. The Beacon had a 5-2 lead until the ninth when th.e faculty gathered four runs to go ahead 6-5, but the determined Beacon lads tied it up in the last of th.e seventh with two out . The game then went into extra innings. In the ninth Tom Moran in crossing homeplate bump.ed into catcher Ralston of the Fac-ulty nine who dropped -the ·bal-1. -'-Fneumpire called Moran out on interference, but the Beacon players contested that Moran was safe in that the catcher must hold the ball. The Faculty scored 3 in the tenth while the Beiicon t.eam could score only one thus ending the game. The IRC went into extra inning-s to overtake the Pre-Med Sq,u-ad 5-4. In the last of the ninth with one out, John Kelly of the lRC batted in the winning run. Kelly also homered in th.e first with one on base.

GERTRUDE WILLIAMS LEE VINCENT WILL PLAY By Robert Mikulewicz By the start of the fall semester, the Polish Club hopes to have its Slavic Social and Culturail Center functioning. The aim of this undertaking is purely cultural. The club and its faculty adviser, Mr. Constantine Symonolewicz, want to bring to the Wilkes students and Wyoming Valley residents knowledge concerning a section of Europe which has been slighted for too long. This area includes the territory which the Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Carpath-0-Russians, Yugoslavs, and other groups of peoples in that section of Europe occupy. It is an area full of dynamic forces; two world war.s were instigated because of this area; it is and area which is forcefully being made into a communistic satellite. The club plans to study the historical traditions and the important contributions that were given to the world by these peoples. The Polish Olub has been busy collecting money and materials to complete the center. '}Jhe financial goal is $5,000. With th., $5,000, a,nq the literary material!! contributed to and by the club, the center will be opened this fall. The Polish Club intends to add to the :.:·oct.tl Center until a complete stock of materials has been compiled. From time to time, the club will sponsor lectures and discussions for the benefit of those interested in furthering their knowledge of Slavic Culture. The location of this center has not •been definitely assigned. Dr. Farley, who heartily indorsed th.e undertaking, has agreed to aLlow the Polish Club to establish the Social Center in two rooms of one of the college buildings. The Slavic Social Center will be opened to students and residents of Wyoming Valley. The Center should be of great interest and benefit to the many people in Wyoming Va,Jley who are of Slavic descent.

Of cours.e, it wasn't Wilkes then, it was Bucknell Junior College. The most logical place to ],earn something about a· college is in its newspaper, so I went to the Beacon morgue and searched through the files until I came upon an old copy of the Bucknell Beacon. The paper at that time was in the form of a booklet. Th.e copy was dated Sept., 1937. The cover was a pa:le o·range with a picture of Conyngham Hall on th,e front, and one of Chase Hall on the back. Chase Hall at that time didn't have its walls covered with ivy, and there was practically no lawn. · When I opened the first page· of the paper, I saw a picture of Dr. Farley. Under his picture was hi s welcoming address to the freshmen. Doctor Farley stressed the need for a friendly atmosphere then just a,s he does today. To the right of Doctor Farley's picture were the greetings from the Class of "40" extended to th.e Clas.s of "41". Under the greetings was an article about freshmen cooperation in activit)es, stressing the idea that all freshmen were ientitled to partici, pate in any activity. · The second page contained · a1, article on the Thespian production of "'Pomeroy's Past"; The cast included Joseph Donnelly, Betty Tonks, Ralph Johnston, Betty Fenton, Elizabieth Davies, Monroe Freed, Ilaria Sterniuk, Stanley Daugert, and Walter Thomas. The fourth page contained t!itl editorial, entitled "TO BE OR NOT TO BE". The Co-Editors, Jack Saricks and Walter Thomas, warned thie students to be careful when they used the two new buildings placed at the disposal of the college by the civic-minded Stark and Conyngham families. On the sports page there were two pictures, on,e of Capt. Thomas of the '3·6 -'37 cage team, and one of Charley (Stretch) Romane. Both men were confident that the Jay Gees would return to their winrting ways that season, The Junior College had a bowling team in the House League at the Y. M. C. A. They also had an intramural league in bowling. It made me think that it would be fine if Wilkes Collegp, could have an intramural bowling league this year too. Th.e swimming team of that year had a full schedule of eight meets. Coaches "Hank" Peters and Clarence (Slats) Obitz had their picturies on page seven together with Walter (.Shorty) Thomas, a basketball and basieball star of that year. 'l'lhe last page of the BEACON is the · one which took particular note. •O n this page is the list of frieshmen entering Bucknell, and tucked away in the corner of the page is a lis_j; of freshmen rules. Thiese ruJes were adopted to encourage spirit of friendship between the classes and to create a pleasant atmosphere within the col1ege. The sophomore class was given the responsibility of enforcing the freshman rules. These rules might seem silly and childish to many of our veterans, but thiey were and still are a very integ.r al part of college life. Here are the rules: A. Rules that would be enforced for a period of two weeks. 1. Men and women will carry sulphur matches. 2. Women will wear no makeup.

By CAUOf GALLOW At a meeting of the Honor Committee on Friday, August, 15, tentative plans were made to establish an honor sy-stem at Wilkes College. The objectives of such a plan are to instil honor and promote scholastic achievement on the part of the students. The procedure concerning tests or examinations is recommended to be as follows : (1) In all examinations there will be no proctor. (2) Each student will sign the following pledge: "I pjiedge my honor that during this examination I have neither given nor received assistance." (3) Violations of the honor system will consist of any attempt to receive assistance from writtP-n or printed aids, or from any persons or paper, or of any attempt to give assistance 'whether the one so doing has completed his own paper or not. This, rule holds both within and without' the examination room during the · entire time in which the examination is in progress, that is1 until all papers have been hancied in. -( 4) Violations also will consist of obtaining or· attempting to obtain, previous to any examinations, copies of the examination papers or the questions to appear thereon, or to obtain any illegal knowledge of thse questions. (5) Any undrgraduate not signing the pledge placed upon the examination paper will be notified by the professor holding the examination, and if unable then to sign he will be repoI'ted to the committee for investigation. Fai!u.re to sign the pledge to an examination paper upon notification by the professor or by the committee shall be prima facie evidence of violation of the Honor System. This procedure also concerns term papers and all phases of college activity. A stipulation made in the plan is that all term papers muslt be the original work of the student. College activities will also be conducted as provided for in the Honor System. These provisions are a result of the meeting of the honor committee on August 4. Nine students will constitute the governing body of the Honor Council : three seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshmn. The officers, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Secretary will be respectively :the ranking senior, the ranking junior, and the ranking sophomore. The Vice-Chairman automatically will become a member of the council in his senior year, with ranking privileges withheld. However, if this member for any reason becomes unable to hold office, the next ranking junior member automatically will succeed him. This member will be responsible for introducing all records of past proceedings at the first meeting of the new Council. E;ach memb.er of the Honor Council ·m ust maintain at least a C average. Provisions for the ,election of these members were also made in ,t his tentative plan. The members of the Honor Council will be nominated by the Faculty Committee and elected by the student body. .This factulty committee will be LEE VINCENT WILL PLAY - PARTY STARTS AT 8:30 By HAROLD REIN T·onight at 8:30 the student partygoers of Wilkes College will begin an evening of cabaret fun at the Thespians' "CAMPUS QUARTER," the nightclub for a night.
