In an impressive and colorful ceremony, witnessed by a capacity crowd of friends and relatives, 130 regular and terminal students received the first four-year diplomas presented by the new full-time institution. The memorable affair began with an academic procession, composed of memlbers of the Wilkes College _faculty and the '48 graduates, which,proceeded from the Presbyterian Church House, through the courtyard, and · <lown Fraruklin Street to the Church. Dr. Charles B. .Reif, head of the Wilkes science department, led the procession. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of Wilkes, introduced the principal speaker, Dr. Everett Hunt, Dean of Swarthmore College, w!:to g~ve the graduates some sound advice, saying that "instead of tryin g to cure the world, you might learn to endure it". Dr. Hunt cited the differences between the students who attended college during the last war, and thoes who attended later, using this example as a means of showing the graduating class the contrast between the persons who accept the world's challenge and those who continually complain about life. He stated that war-time students, who were sorely lacking in the preparation needed in order to face life, complained considerably more about hardships than the veterans who comprised the post-war classes. Dr. Hunt concluded his talk with four suggestions to he followed in living a life of stability, "satisfying work, a satisfying amount of ,play, a large amount of love, and a reverend attitude of worship". · Following the presentation of diplomas and certified by Dr. William Coleman, dean of Bucknell University, Dr. Farley extended his congratulations to the graduates . He gave a brief account of the struggle for existence the college had undergone since its beginning 15 years ago to its pre. sent four-year rating, and thanked those who had in any way contributed to and assisted in the growth of the institution. "Today the coilege i& serving not only the youth of the commun- ity but the 'community itself", Dr. Farley said. Dr. Charles Roush gave the bent ediction, and Mr. Donald Cobleigh directed the Wilkes College Choral Club in opening and closing selections. Special awards were given to Reese Pelton and John Gooch for outstanding achievement while attending school. Following is a list of the graduates: B. S. IN C. & F.

(See pictures inside) WILI(ES BUREAU OF SAFETY OFFERS 2 SAFETY COURSES GENERAL SAFETY COURSE, !DRIVER AND TRAINING EDUCATION WILL COUNT AS CREDIT HOURS The Wilkes College Bu,reau of Safety, . under 'the direction of Clemens A. Pell, will offer two courses ' in safety education to Wilkes students during the sum" mer ,s emester. They are a General Safety course and a course in Driver Training and Education. Both these courses are thre e c_redit hours and will have a duration of six weeks, July 12 to August 20. - There will be no tuition charged fo r the Driver Training and Education clas-s. However, students in this class must possess a learner's · pe,rmit or a driver's lic'ense. The course consists of ~lass work and actual behind-theJwheel training. Successful completion of this course entitles the student to teach driving in t:he public secondary schools of Pennsylvania. The class will imeet from 8 :00 A. M. to 9: 30 A. M. daily. The General Safety course requires the payment of the usual semester hour fee. This cou,rse .covers industrial, farm, pedestrian and all other fields of safety practices. This cl.ass will meet daily from 11 A. M. to 1'2 :30 P. M. Both courses will lead fo provisional teacher'·s certificates to teach these subjec,t s in public schools. ..., Mr. ,Pell stated that starting September, 1948, teachers in all public schools must have six hours credit in these subjects.

Wilkes Enters Drive The Langel welfare drive was instigated by the Times-IeaderEvening News and was carried on. by some of the civic-minded people of the city. The purpose of the drive is to raise enough funds so that Michael Langel, a paralysis victim of World War II, may be provided wirbh a new home. Being the Student governing bodv •of one of the most important institutions in the valley, the Student Council thought it proper that they should enter the fight and see what they could do for the vet.

His plight prior to an interview with a reporter of the Evening News, was generally unknown ~eyond a small circle of relatives, friends and officials of the Veterans Administration. It may be noted that of 350,000 veterans from 3:2 counties in Eastern Pennsylvania, Mike, whose spine was severed by a piece of shrapnel during the war, was the only one with .pa,raplegia, a complex form of paralysis.

June, 1948, marks an important milestone in the history of Wyoming Valley. The sixty-'One seniors who received their degrees at that time bear eloquent testimony to the eminent success to those hardy pioneers who. planned and built Wilkes College into a four year institution of higher learning. A grateful community can do naught but bestow its humble respect and honor upon those who have made possible so magnificent an achievement. E'specially so, in the case of the man under whose guidance, courage, and devotion the school developed from a handful of professors and students into a sound, progressive institution. We might very aptly say indeed, Wilkes College is the shado,w of its trail-blazer and first president, Dr. Eugene Farley. To him the community say,s, "thanks for a job w~ll done". And that is not all. To found ' the school is part of the job: to maintain and to increase ils high liberal and academic standards remains for the future. For who among us does recall, nor remember the totalitarian methods of education as practised in the recently defeated Axis countries. There we saw rigid governmental direction and control of · ~urricula and selection of texts. There we saw the careful indoctrination of professors not as teachers_....,but as overseers of the government's program. There we saw independent research and • education perverted and prostituted for the production of mental and moral ciphers, who could in turn be more easily molded to state ends. The individual was submerged, and by one means or another his energies were channeled into activities determined by the needs and interests of a government, whose sole aim was world conquest. Thus we have borne sad witmess once again to the facts that attend the surrender of individual rights and resiponsibilities to a.n ambitious few. We want none of that here in these United States! The American tradition of education has ever been the champion of individual freedom and dignity. It has ever held open the door to freedom of career and occupation. And free Americans, educated and enlightened in · free in sti t utions have made American democracy the greatest power on earth . That is the meaning and significance of a college in a community. By educating and broadening the minds of its citizens, it keeps them free; by educating and making them skillful, they become more productive; by educating · and making them socially conscious, they become more humane and considerate of their fellow man. Education iis an endless task, n~y a duty, of ever·y thoughtful citizen within the community. It is only through education of its members that a community can -survive and progress. Only education can provide the better life. Edward Jan Wasilewski REiCORDS VICTOR DECCA COLUMBIA and Accessories -THE- CampUS Record Shop of KNlFFEN 14 W. NORTHAMPTON ST.

In &pite of the comparatively light membership of the club during the summer sess.ion, el Spanish Club, making up in quality what they lack in quantity, have announced a tentative schedule for the summer semester filled with educational and social highlights. Picnics and social get-togethers (some at the · summer homes of certain members) promise a 1bonanza of camraderie, fun, and real college spirit. , The , summer highlight ·o f the club's cultural and educational efforts is the full thirty minute broadcast, "On 'W ings of Imagination to South America", which is sent over the ether every Saturday morning at 10 A. M. thr:0ugh the courtesy of station WHWL. The program is dedicated to the better understanding of our Latiri American neighbors, their customs, their language, and ' their music which has become so very popular in pur own country. Tl).e first ibroadcast, initiating the ~eries, received a successful send-off Satur,day, June 26, when the fir.s t strains of the program's theme song, the lively South American "Tico-Tico", entered the homes of wise radio listeners. The theme s·o ng was followed by thirty minutes of sparkling dialog ue by Miss Martha J. S:ilseth, Spanish instructor, and George Ermel, caipable Spanish student at Wilkes ,College, and beautiful, catchy Latin American music. ' ~Culban Pete", "La Ultima Congo", and "The Em~riaguez Bolero'' are just a small sample of the musical treasures heard on . thi.s program. . ''l1he enter.taining script . is competently written :b y Miss Silseth who is assisted with the technical side of broadQ.astin.g iby Mr. Clem Waclawski, also an active student at Wi1kes College. Remember every .Saturday at 10 A. M. over station WHWL - A chance to· see South America and hear South America wifbout leaving your own comfortable bed. It is hoped that within the near future the college's Careers Library wil,J ibe foI'lnally opened for general u se, Mr . Paul Mehm, Consultant on Careers, announced recently. In the meantim e the Careers Consulting :Service is available to all students having specifk questions. Du.r ing the past two weeks a number of students have sought information on specific careers for the purpose of completing personnell forms for ib oth employment and admission to pr,o fessional schools. In some instances direct contact was established with the source of the desired information. As a consequer{ce, all students are invited to use these facilities. ,I The Wilkes College Public Relations Department, located in the rear of the tJhird floor in Chase Hall , will be open daily from 1 to 5 p . m . and on Saturday from 9 a. m . to 12 noon, during the summer semester to · handle college publicity and assist the various departments and their clu·bs in providing outside publicity for their funct ions . All outside releases for publicat ion must be sent through the Public Relations Department or t he y will not be .published by valley newspapers. This action was deemed necessary because of confli ct s which arose in past semesters when independent news releases clashed with the ·publication of more important releases s·cheduled for definite dates. If the information is sent to the Pu h I i c Relations Department, where it will be handled by either John C. Bush or Thomas J. Moran, it will be marked for publication on a date it will not conflict with other college news releases and, therefore, will receive a greater display. News may be sulbmi5ted to the Wilkes College Public Relations Department three ways, in person during office hours, by calling 3-3148, or by dropping information in the Public Relations box in th e Faculty Mail-room. Tihe liibrary, which is the nucleus of service is located on the first floor of the Ashley building, i64 South River Street. FALL SEMESTER SCHEIJULE (September 20, 1948 to January 29, 1949) ' . . .

M. and terminating next Friday, July 9, as "Fill The Barrel Week" in conjunction with the drive they have undertaken to aid in the Luzerne County Langel Welfare Drive. The Lucky Barrel Sport iOance, originally scheduled for tonight but postponed to next, Friday evening, will mark the end of the drive here at the college. Collection depot for all contributions toward, this dr ive wi ll be two barrels conspicuously located on the campus. One of the .g olden fourleaf clover containers will be placed near the ·boy's dorm, and the other will be found in Chase Lounge. ·T hey will remain in those positions until next Friday night when they will be removed to the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling where the dance will be held. The use of the ballroom for this affair was donated by the management .o f the · ,S terling. Admiss1 on to the dance will ,be free, but the Barrels will ibe iplaced in the middle of the floor for donations. Dancing, with Reese Pelton's Collegians providing the musit, will take place from 9 to 1. Ading Council Chairman George Brody stated that although the affair is sponsored .by the college, arrangements are being made with local broadcasting companies to extend invitations to all teen-agers and students of the various high sch@ols. This drive, which was given impetus by the Times Leader-Evening News, is for the purpose of giving high-spirited World War II vet Michael Langel, of N orlh Main Street, ' city. a better chance in the world. Langel, who is the only paraplegic among 350,000 veterans in 32 counties in Eastern Pennsylvania, is showing slow recovery and has gained some use of one of his arms. The Wilkes-Barre vet's condition occurred when his spine was severed by a piece, qf s<:hrapnel during the last war.

The worst. Or so it seems. Strange it is, that with all the brilliant progress we have achieved in thi_s country in mass production, in our inveptive genius, in educa- ' tion, in our free social, institutions, in creating the highest standard of living the world has ever known-we should make the least progress in the most important field of all ... that of go'{erning oikselves. Everywhere; · in industry, in our schools, in business, in our churches and home, and even in our daily social contacts we demand efficieney, ;promptness, honesty, alertness and general ethical conduct. We are all of us very careful in adhering to social convention, and insist that others do likewi,s e . . . with the exception of that ;peculiar speciman of society commonly known as the politician. Whereas for the rest of us, t'he way of transgressor is hard, the sins of the politician are excused by a sly wink, or a hopeless shrug of the shoulders. Throughout the history of civilization we have found this particular species of the human famil'y enga·g ed in one activity or another relating ·to man's attempt to .g overn himsel1'. These · men, and in a few cases women, seemed to· have been possessed of extraordinary abilities, some motivated by -p atriotic zeal, others by the prospect of personal gain. ,Collectively, however, they have held a single philosophy of life . . . The ends justify the means And to this doctrine they have 1dliered with religious devotion. To all appearances it wouild seem ~his was their only endowment. • Well what albout their modern countei;part? The ,p opular notion of a politician ,t oday is a short, fat, cigar-smoking inan with an apopletic face, always hidden fr.om public view inside a plush-lined, oak•panelled office. Not at all. In reality he is usually a fine, handsome looking fellow, respectaible, popular and-ubiquitous. Not usually noted for scholarly achievement, he makes judicious use of his intuitive intelligence with .such f~cility and success as to amaze the brightest scholars. The smart politician with his finger on the •public pulse can pretty well judge the extent and capacity of public patience and suffering. When the peoiple rise in righteous anger and indignation over corruption and incompetence in pulblic offices-he is ever ready with some fancy reforms by which the suffled feelings of the people are soothed and calmed. ·Once the heat an_d excitement have had time to cool, he is back at work; same place and same manner. Now it seems from past futile attempts to meet this -p roblem and eliminate it by civic-minded citizens interested in good, sound government, that tihe phenomenon is a necessary social evil, and that we may as well get along as best we could with it, since we can't be i;.id of it. Yet there is muc'h that can be done about it. The individual citirzen in the first place, should /be taught the moral and ethical importance of self reliance and responsibility . . . instead of running to the politicians for favors. -Secondly, interest in civic matters should be fostered by appropirate institutions ~uch as church, schools and colleges and the various civic and social clubs and association~. Third, public -office holding should be made a more attractive and secure career, Which would in turn attract more competent and able personnel. Finally, there should be instituted in our colleges and universities courses leading to degrees in pUJblic administration . This sort o;f tr!!ining coupled with higher standards of physical, mental and educational qualifications for public office might conceivably promote more efficient and reS!ponsible government for the whole community. Improvement of ·s uch magnitude are not made overnight. However, knowledge, ,p erseverance, and a will to improve the situat~on on the part of an enlightened public will go a long way in establishing 'higher standards in a sound, healthy gov~rnment. Once s~cured, good government should remain under the ca-reful scrutiny of vigilant and responsilble civic groups. in- this respect, college students should be in the vanguard in the march of progress to good government.

CO-$TARRING IN Grid Schedule Near Completion As iTeam Prepares For Fall Season Around the campu ,; there is already a great deal of interest in the coming foo,tball sea~on. The schedule is now almost completed, and Coach George Ralston is attempting to secure opponents for the . two open dates on the schedule -,October 9 and October 16. Indications are that this season's · games will :be the toughest yet encountered ,b y the Colonels, who this year face for the first time the gridders from Mansfield State Teacher's College and Rider College of Trenton, New Jersey. The football teams of both institutions have always been powerful, and no doubt will be strong enough this year to make the Wilkes gridders work hard to win. St. Francis College, of Loretta, Pennsylvania, and Hartwi•ck College, Oneonta, New York, also are teams Wilkes will meet for the first time this season. The stiffest task to be faced by Coach Ralston when practice sessions open the last week in August will ibe that of strengthening the severely weakened left side of the line. All three of last year's leftside wingmen have left school and will not be lb ack for football this season. Clem Hiller has transferred to Susquehanna University, Joe Gallagher has taken a job, and Francis Brokus has moved to California with his family. The loss of the three ends will be a severe blow, the Colonel team having been noted for the excellent. play of its wingmen. Mill McDonough, hard-working blocking ,back of the 1947 team, has also left school, giving Ralston a.nother headache. Good blocking !backs, of which McDonough was one, are hard :to find. As the schedule stands at the present time, onJy two of the seven games are to !be played at home. However, if either or both of the open dates are filled, there is the possibility that they may be home games. Chances are g ood for the arrangement of a game with National Farm School, now a fouryear college. Next year almost all of the Wilkes grid contests will be played at home. Football .practice will be ·held at Kivb.y Park this season and will begin the last week in August, under the leadership of Co-Captains Hank Supinski and Sammy Elias. Reports of new football talent in . t'he ,September class have been slow coming ifi so far, ,b ut one good bit of news is that 205-pound John Conrad, ex ..Hanover High grid star, will be seeking a guard berth.

CoUege has announced that the Michael Langel Drive. and the Lucky Barrel Benefit Sport Dance •held last Friday evening . at the Admiral :Stark Ballroom of the Hotel 1Sterling collected a total of $213 in all. This is in addition to the $150 donation the Council gave to the County Langel Drive a few weeks previous. The Drive consisted of "Fill the Barrel Week" which ran from July· 2· to July 9, and the Sport Dance Friday evening. '.Dhe use of the stelj,ming hot Admiral Stark Ballroom was donated · by the management of the Sterling. Music for the affair was provided by Reese Pelton's Collegians, who also donated their services to the affair. Pel.ton's orchestra is one of the most popular aggregations in the valley, and at the Langel Dance showed more talent than almost versity. He later did graduate work at Columbia and North Carolina Universities. He expects to receive his doctorate in E'conomics later this year. Prof. Rose111berg was professor of Economics and,.Social Studies at Hampton Institute and later field administrator of Office of Foreign Relief and Rehaibilitation Organization for the Department of State. any other music~maker who has a-ppeared at Wilkes affairs in the past. The two blue-and-gold four-11.eaf containers , located on South River Street in front of Chase Hall, and in the Cafeteria, yielded approximately $68, and the Sport Dance realized a total of $145 for an over-all amount of $213. Although the ,ballroom was · a trifle too hot for comfort, much less dancing, -n early 25-0 people turned out for the affair and danced from 9 to 12. Special dances were announced whereby the dancers were asked to throw a certain amount of money into the barrel, located ,in the center of the dance floor,, for that certain dance. This added a little more spice to what might have otherwise been a comparatively uninteresting evening. All in all, everyone had a good time, and the affair, in fact the entire drive, experienced moderate success.

This movie was the third in a series of weekly foreign films being presented this semester by the club. LA BOHEME, Giamco Puccini's great grand opera in four acts, was founded . on a tale by · Henri Murger and first produced at Turin, Italy, in February, 189·6. It was the composer's fourth opera and at once placed him at the head of the younger ·Italian schooi' and gave him an international reputation. The plot is constructed out of four slightly connected scenes, each complete in itself, presenting, in admirably contrasted light and shade, a vivid picture of the Lat.i n SEASON'S RESULTS FILM SCHEDULE RELEASED quarter of Paris of the period of Clowns 1830.

RE-OR&ANIZATION .MEETING CLUB WILL DISCUSS BERLIN ORISIS AT NEXT MEETING By ART , SPENGLER A regular meeting of the International Relations Club was held Fr,iday night, July 2, in Chase Lounge at which the following officers were elected: John Faneck, ~£esident; Julius Likowski, vicepresident and parliamentarian; Allan Miller, treasurer, and Dolores Pi"Sarri, secretary. Dr. Harold Thatcher, head of the History Department, was chosen as the new faculty advisor replacing •Mr. Hugo Mailey who hai:l taken -a dvantage of the summer vacation period. The adv<isory post will be satisfactorily filled by Dr. Thatcher since he specializes in constitutional history. During the last war he served as Ohief of the Historical Section, Office of Quarterma"Ster General, War Department. Freedom and Union and the American Political Science Monthly Review are two of the many magazines which have carried some of his writings. The International Relations Clll!b is an organization originally esta;blished ,b y the Oarnegie Endowment for Peace. It had its genesis on our campus on Decemlber 13, 19·46, when Dr. Edward Hartmann, now teaching at Suffolk College in Massachusetts, assisted and advised several students in drawing up a constitution. Just an interest in · current international . events qualified any student to. become a member of the organization. The club has had many prominent speakers on some of its weekly agendas. Former governor Arthur H. James and Attorney Daniel Flood have addressed the club on separate occasions; Dr. Thatcher and Douglas Falconer, faculty members, have also given interesting talks. Last semester the I. R. C. was more active than ever before. It s,p onsored a joint rally with the liltercolleg iate Zionist Federation of America when the U. S. reversed its decision on the Palestine p,r oblem.,. Representative Flood and Dr. · Farley were the principal speakers. Prefatory remarks were made 1by Mr. Thatcher and Mr. Falconer. In March the Wilkes College I. R. C. played host to the regional conference of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government in which twelve colleges and universities from Northeastern Pennsylvania participated. At the ·statewide convention of the I. C. G. in Pliiladelphia many of the Wilkes College "planks" were accepted into the platform drawn up by the delegates. , This Friday evening at 8:00 P. M. the clulb will again rireet in ·Chase Lounge. The business meeting will be followed by the usual discussion period which, for this . meeting, will center around the Berlin crisis . BROOl(SIDE W. JONES BACI( IN WILKES SOCIAL CIRCLES Brookside W. Jones was a bit late getting to school for the sum~ mer semester. Seems he was out of town putting in his bid for the hand of the young matron who offered herself as a marriage partner to any man willing to give her $10,000 · the day the holy vows are exchanged. According to Brookside, the young lady is a highly interesting companion. Jonesie's first move upon his return t Wilkes-Barre was to scout around for a Danny• Kaye movie. He found out that Marty Blake had been practicing diligently in Jones' a•bsence and had become more proficient in mouthing the Kaye routines than Jones himself . (or Kaye him se 1f, for that matter). And since Brookside covets the master .,f ceremonies spot on the next ca!baret party floor show, he decided it was time to polish up his routines to eliminate the advantage the commi ssioner had gotten on him in hi s absence. · When interviewed by this reporter, Jones sovnded off 'in hi s best English 131 manner on several controversial subjects . As to the presidential candidates, Jones refused to ex press a preference, but did say he would be willing to help in the coming Democratic and Third Party campaigns in any way .he can, even to the extent of carrying on the work on President Trumali.(s White House porch while Truman's time is taken up with the convention, or tending ~r. Wallace's garden of corn, while Hankus is in \Philly disclosing the secret that he can be talked nito accepting the Third Party nomination. .Brookside was a ,b it hurt by" a conversation he had with Bill Tomusko soon after returning to school. Tomusko is a resident of Brookside, one of the ritz;er sections of our town, and was struck lby the fact that Jones should have the · rather unusual first name, "Brookside". The latter was sho'c ked to learn that Tomusko didn't know that Jones, in spite of his tender years, has long been ·considered one of Brookside's more· prominent and respected residents, . and was named Brookside for the simple reason that he was. born there. In fact, he was born right next door to Chuya's, which makes him a 'bona fide resident of Brookside if anything .would.

First, the patient receives two electric shock treatments which produce unconsciousn ess. Then the surgeon drives a slender steel "pick" thr~gh the 1b ony portion of the eye socket into the fronta l ·1obe of the :brain. By swiftly turning the instrument he severs certain brain connections. The instrument is withdrawn and the procedure repeated on the other eye. 'I\he · operation requires only ten minutes and within an hour the patient is awake with no memory of what had occurred. All acute anxiety had disapp eared being replaced by obvious cheerfulness. The operation ,can be performed by any competent psychiatrist with little \ special equipment. Best re. suits rae obtained with patients who have ·been ill less than one year and who ·have failed to respond to electric sh ock treatments.

CRAFTSMEN ENG RA VER.S SPORTLIGHT Sports Quiz: What major league player hit the longest , officially measured home run in the history of baseball? (Answer below). Bob Chesnes: Chesnes, of the Piitts,burgh Pirat es, is one of the most colorful players to hit the majors in years. In addition to his good pitching record (5~2) at ,p resent, he is somewhat of a hitter and is used very often ·as a pinch hitter. He is so conceited about his hitting, he has asked to be switched to the outfield. Robin Roberts : Another Phillie bonus player. He is poise personified. He is sure to be a star for years to come. Ned Carver: A rookie pitcher who has been a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds of St. Louis. He is so highly thoug,ht of that in the near future he will undoubtedly be sold to the Red Sox. Herman Wehmeier: An outstanding pitching prospect of the Reds. He was picked off the sandlots of Cincinnati by the Rhinelanders. In addition to being a local 'boy who made good, he also ha s a name that will appeal to the large German element in Cincirina1li. · Alvin Dark: The real "Dark horse" of t,he group is this young ~hoftstop of the Braves. His hitting and fielding of late have helped the Braves to hold on to their lead in the National League. With Stanky at second to steady him, he s,h ould develop into one of the league's brightest stars. * * * Answer to Sports Quiz: In an exh~bition. game at Tampa, Florida, on March i5, 1941, Ken Selv-estri of the N.

The players have turned out eagerly to join in the fun, and though there has been a good deal of creaking of joints during the games and aching muscles after, everyl,iody has had a good time. Play thus far has certainly not ibeen of big-league calibre, since mos·t of the players had not played softball for quite some time prior to the opening of the current season. Errors and "whiffs" have been uncomfortaibly frequent for many of the lads. who did not play in last year's league, while those who did play last year have been showing the benefit .o f their more recent par ti cipation.

" That is the wail of a considerable group of educators in thi,s education conscious nation. 1 These are the Ivory. Tower Thinkers; and their ideals and goals revolve about an absolute freedom .o f unperturbed erudition. Their notion of a scholar it would seem is one who is removed and sheltered from the hubbuib and confusion of everyday life; who is steeped in the love of Greek and Latin classics; and who faces a quarrelsome world with a .philosophic calm of one familiar with the eternal truths. Until the turn of the ,c entury, such was the vogue in the education of our hright, young .people. Graduates at that time entered the more learned and scholarly professions: leaving the mana:gement of the more rough and tumble ·affairs of business and politics to the less educated. But a brash, young, up and coming nation flexing its newly-found sinews after successful and decisive pa:rticipation in World !War 1, was entertaining new ideas as to how its promising, young citizens were to be educat ed, too. As a result, the free elective curriculum was introduced into our schools of higher learning-accompanied by howls of protest from the keepers of The Ivory Towers. And the invaders didn't stop there. They demanded that colleges and universities 1produce graduates who were trained for specific vocations, to be employed as specialists in various fields of business, industry and government. The classicists quickly dubbed the new school as one suffering from "specialists". The controversy roars on, with all sorts of new concepts of education ranging between these two extremes ib eing proposed-and rejected. We are quite certain at any rate .. . if we do not have the best educational system in the world, at least we are conducting the greatest experiment along these lines. And how goes the battle today? The battle lines are drawn most clearly between those who favor what they term "progressive education", which is little more than a student undergoing a given college course at his own speed, the only qualification being that he satisfactorily pass the required examinations. On the other hand, we find those who propose the s tudy of the One Hundred greatest boo1cs in recorded time over a four year course at the college level as the ideal of a liberal arts education. Most institutions it• seems have sought a compromise between a :g eneral education in the liberal arts and specialized training in limited fields. To specialize fully the student must pursue 1post-graduate work in most instances. A recent innovation has been the setting up lby•industry of its own. training schools. Accepting college graduates as "promotable" material ; these indus tries then provide the most promising among them a thorough technical training, thence utilizing them as specialists or- ex,p erts within the organization footing the expense of the education. Notwithstanding this bewildering diversity in educational institutions, the average student finds that by judicious selection of available cour" offered, and by diligent study he can secure for himself ~~:..at can be considered ·a fine, wellrounded education by any standards. Those students, especially, who know what they want, and what they are going to do with it ... Now the cry has been raised in many quarters that the state of American education is nothing less than a state of anarchy. To the casual observer or the prejudiced eye this claim may seem to hold some validity. But to those who are well-informed and familiar with the workings of a true democracy will be far from dismayed.

FOWLER, DICK AND WALKER �Medical Modicums ~?c:1'!!:da1s, MUSIC, MAFSTRO - - By DON FOLLMER-- By JOHN BURAK THE WHITE PLAGUE This week's · coluntn is devoted to a .brief summary of one of the most . ,important problems . confronting the American public · top&Y• The f ~cts presented herein canm>t be stressed too often; the 'a.takes l.n this game are too high. 1\'hat are these stakes-and why s,o high? They are our very lives. * * * People shudder when they read descriptions of the Black Death or i,ubonic plague which swept Europe in successive centuries through the Middle Ages. They became lulled, however, into a false sense of security by the idea that medical science has advanced to the point where $uch disasters are forever banished from the realm of actuality. Now we must begin to realize, most of u s belatedly, that a new scourge, a White Plague, far worse than· the Black -Death is now upon the world. And, in this instance, medicai science is completely shackled, fo:r the scourge is taking one life every 3 minutes, and if not checked, will eventually claim the lives of 17 million American people or one out of every eight now leading a healthy existence. This Killer is known by the simple name-Canter. Cancer is a disease characterized by a malignant tumor or growth, the cells of which multiply so rapidly that the surrounding tissues are destroyed by wasting away from lack of a blood supply. In other words, the blood supply of the tumor is insufficient to supply both its own cells and the healthy cells of the surrounding body tis-. sues. The length of-time required for this break-down depends on the type of growth, its location, age of the patient, and the condition of the tissue, among other factors. Cancer never develops in healthy tissues which means that any condition which results in a breakdown of normal cells may be laying the groundwor,k for the disease. Early symptoms, if they can be referred to as such, again depend upon the location and type of growth. Cancer is rarely painful in its primary stages, a fact which only partially explains why patients delay in seeking: medical advice when an abnormality is discovered. A false sense of pride and shame actually account for most of the delay. Early diagnosis of cancer is often possible with the presence of other manifestations at a few of the sites more commonly affected. Briefly, in the breast, a lump is felt beneath the skin; in the lip, a raised sore with a hard base; in the tongue, cheek and floor of the rniuth, an ulcer with hard edges and base painful if irritated by salts or seasoned foods; in the skin, a small, non-healing painless ulcer, enlargement or ulceration of a preexisting mole or wart; in the stomach, indigestion coming on at a fairly regular interval after ingestion of food, often relieved by vomiting. · Naturally, many of these symp 0 toms are not exhibited by cancer alone, however, their frequent appearance in cancer cases indicates the immediate necessity of skilled medical attention. Because early diagnosis is usually the only means ..

Beacon Sports Editor Clowns Maintain Fast Pace In Softball League To the surprise of no-one in particular, the powerful Clowns have taken the lead in the intra-mural softball league, and have maintained that lead over three full weeks of play. Featuring brilliant hurling by Tanky Celmar, with an occasional assist from Manager Marty Blake, and heavy hitting .by just about every player on the team, the Clowns have rolled over all opposition. Strangely enough, the Clowns had -to work hardest to win over two teams which thus far have been the league's weakest - the Dorm and Beacon squads. McKie and his Dorm aggregation started it by extending the Clowns to a 12-11 count. Then, last Wednesday, the Beacon team was so impertinent as to lead the Clowns by a 7--5 score going into the seventh inning, which ordinarily would have been the last. The Clowns saved their winning streak by putting two runs across in the seventh to tie the game, then going on to win in the tenth. Marty Biake started on the hill for the Clowns, and was amazed at the number of pesky Texas Leaguers that •b ounced off the bats of the scribblers. And when the Texas Leaguer.s had reached the point of monotony, Jack Feeney, Beacon hot-corner man, introduced a bit of variety with a screaming homerun over the center-fielder's head. Tanky Celmar ended the uprising when he came on in the seventh and proceeded to mow 'em downthree swings per man. Perhaps the most interesting .a spect of the game, however, was the hilarious base-running of the -Clowns. Some confused maneuvering on the -b ases cost them four runs, when, on two occasions they had home-runs nullified because ·the man on base at the time the mighty ·blows were struck failed to · -touch all ,b ases. In the tenth inning, however, a ·Clown ' runner managed to circle the bases in the approved manner, and won the game, 8-7. A frightening afternoon for the lads, but another successful one, at that. Draft .Dodgers Fail · To Halt Clowns ·T here's an old sports maxim which holds that the fans like to see the high-riding teams knocked off their perches. This doubtless applied when the game between the Clowns anq the Draft Dodgers came up last week, many persons rooting for the Clowns to get their come-uppance at t he hands of the Dybach crew. The Clowns, however, had their hitting caps on for this game, while the Draft Dodgers played very loose ball afield, all of which resulted in another Clown For .

CAFETERIA COMPLAINTS larly scheduled U. N. Club broadBy VINCE MACRI Beacon 'Associate Editor After waiting some time for the arrival of enough members to create a quorum, the Student Council meeting of last Tuesday was called to order by Chai•r man Tony Zalbiegalski. . There was no Appropriations Committee report, so Mr. Zabiegalski called on Mr. Feeney of the Social Activities Committee :f or a :recount of the doings of that group. tMr. Feeney stated that the Soft. ~11 League quting would be ' held · on Saturday, August 28, at Toby's Park. On August 20 · the Indian Summer Serenade, a semi-formal dance, will take place at the pavilion of the Irem Temple Country Club. Music will be supplied by ack Melt.on and his orchestra. The long awaited Lawn Party will be sponsored by the United Nations Club and is scheduled to take place on Wednesday evening, September 1st. Mi:. Za:biegalski then opened a discussion eoncerning the cpmplaints of many students about the conditions in the cafeteria. He stated that he and Jack Feeney had talked with Mr. Kersteen, and any future complaints on this matter should be referred to either Mr. Feeney or the Chairman of the Council. The matter of the Pre-Med Club budget for $180 was then discussed. The Pre-Meds had submitted an tlPPropriation to the Social Activities Committee for a Weiner Roast at a farm near Harvey's Lake, at the meeting of August 3. At that I time the Council had acted as a committee-of-the-whole and after some deliberation, and much pushing by the Pre-Med members of the council, had moved to accept the budget. The motion had been made by Boyle and seconded by Brody. · · At last week's meeting, however, it was decided that since the PreMed Club had not gone through the proper channels (the Social Activities Committee is not authorized to appropriate money) the budget would be ignored and the club would not have its weiner roast at the expense of the Student Council. ·T his action by the council was significant in many ways. The PreMed Club had not ask_ed for a date on the social calendar, and had not submitted an appropriation to the proper committee. If the club had done this in the correct fashion, the Social calendar might have been set up differently and a possible date would have been given them. As it now stands, there would have been three outings in the course of about one month. There is such a thing as overworking a good horse. Mr. Feeney moved that the council accept the audit of the books for last semester. This was seconded. by Mr. Boyle. Following this action, the meeting adjourned. DORM TO GET REGISTRAR ANNOlJNCES COOL WATER cast, "-On Wings of Imagination", heard every Saturday morning at ten o'clock over station WII:WL. The well balanced script is resulting in increasing popularity for the prgoram. This · is only natural, for the program is constructed along the lines encouraged by radio reformers, namely: no commercials, educational, entertaining. For instance, tomorrow the program takes you to Peru, where you learn some of the customs of the country and enjoy some of the music of Pizarro's former stomping grounds. In fact, almost threequarters of the program consists of music cleverly interwoven into the dialogue which consists of wellchosen word - quality not mere quantity is the keynote of the script. · If you're exasperated with the radio announcers who are constantly telling you how to live or if you've worn your teeth to the gum line gnashing them at the pro-' grams that play one song between telephone directory readings, commem-0rating someone's birthday, then by all means tune in "On Wings of Imagination"-it's purpose is to please, not tease. JACK MELTON TO ,PLAY FOR SECON[) ANNUAL SEMI-FORMAL Coucil Invites All Students To Affair By BILL KASHATiUS The Second Annual Semi-Formal "Indian Summer Serenade", one of the most colorful affairs of the college social iprogram, will be held Friday, August 20, 1918, at the Iirem Temple Country Club Pavilion. An unusual and attractive feature of the dance will be the decorations employing an Indian theme. This affair, the first Semi-formal dance of the semester, is sponsored by the, Student Governing Body of th e college. Jack M~lton's orchestra, one of the oldest musical aggregations of the valley, will provide the music for dancing from 9 to 1. Melton's Band has played for many of the Wilkes College dances including the Lettermen April Showers Ball. Melton's music, which is slow and smootih, will add to the enjoyment of the evening. Plans for the decorations and program a:rrrangements as yet, have not been C'ompleted; but students who attended the initial Indian Summer .Serenade last year · can assure us that the elaborate program in store for the student body n,e xt F.riday, is one that will long be remembered. Last year's program consisted of star-stuq.ded floor show featuring Ed Clard, the inimitable, witty, sensationalist. and Billy and Marsha, WilkesBarre's outstanding dance team. Feeney has been named Cihairman of the affair and Mr. Burak presides over the arrangement committee. Tom Moran has been appointed head of publicity, and Tony Zabiegalski, assisted by Ray Mechak, presides over the Decoration Committee. Jack Feeney pointed out that all Wilkes students, whether they are abtending school this summer or not are invited to attend, a IRC DISCUSSED BERLIN CRISIS, 'Wilkes Alumnus' PRESIDENTIAL RACE RECENTLY Issued Rece~tly By ART SPENGLER The summer edition of the The IR:C Cluib held another of its weekly meeting in WJLJKES ALUMNUS, the official Chase Hall on Friday evening, July 30.

And because of it millions upon millions of people are living out theit lives in fl'lllstration and despair. ,T heir fears range from fear of war and economic depressions to personal and financial worries. So much are they concerned with what the future dimly holds that they a.Te unable to enjoy whatever goodness and fortune holds out to them. Life for them means sitting in darkness and gloom ... or within the shadows of death. These are the miserable ones. And parado,xically enough most of their fears are of their own invention, or else little fears which are overly exaggerated. For fear is a normal human drive. Only when it becomes distorted does it work its pernicious effects, and if not finally checked leads to disturbances in the human nervous ,s ystem, or even to physical impairment. 'Now there are two schools of thought on this business of fear. There are those who cluster about the late President Roosevelt'IS Four Freedoms, one of which was . . . freedom from fear. They believe that society can be so planned, arranged and adjusted, that m ost if not all causes of fear can bE; removed, and hU1manity once liberated from its awful grip can advance to new peaks of civilization. Opposing this philosophy are those who lay down the claim that fear in the human !b eing is necessary . . . They point to the fact that the primitive man was able to survive only because of this sense of feaT, which provided him with the indispens,ible faculties of caution, cunning and alertness, necessary for ,s urvival in a strange and hostile•world. And that need is no less today! F~r in our competitive society the · very same attributes, slightly modified, spell out success for the individual in the strug,gle for his daily bread. So long as human greed and will to poweT remain the mainsprings of action in man, they conclude, so long human fears will remain the catalysts to progress. Undoubtedly there is a great deal of wisdom to be found in both these theories; and a great deal can be learned from them. It would seem, however, if carried to their logical extremes one would lead to a state of apathy and inaction for lack of incentive, while on the other hand the theory which upholds fear would eventually introduce a state of. an~rchy , ruled by the law of the juni le-or the ,s urvival of the fittest. It would appear that then that a healthy balance between the two would afford the most adequate means of es tablishing an equilibrium between the individual and his environment. BIOLOGY IGOE T\JILK5 At this point we run across a characteristic human dilenrna. So soon as an individual, and even nations, attain or even feel themselves secure from internal and external dangers ... they themselves become the aggressors. Oftentimes they adopt the very same strategy and tactics used by their oppressor,s ; then it is the conqueror who screams for mercy! And so it goes throughout recorded history. What then is the solution if any? I It would seem the most efficious approach to the problem could be made from the standpoint of the individual. Sound training in moral living . should begin with the child in the home, in the church, and in the school. The child should be made aware that life is a give and take propos ition, which leads us into .the field of ethics. The growing child should then be educated in the finest tradition, rules and regulations on how 1best to fulfill this fundamental proposition of life. Esl)ecial stress should be placed on man's relationship to man, in form of the Golden Rule. Finally the individual should be inculcated with a willingness to assume and shoulder responsioility. Nothing else succeeds in building character so well" it seems, as personal responsibility, whether. it be great or small. Our greate,s t source of trouble is that which springs from irresponsible individuals or groUJps who hold no values, human or material, hence no worthwhile attitudes. These people are prone to give vent to uninhibited primitive urges, ,ultimately colliding with the firmly established institutions of society based on moral and e~hical concepts of humanity. We speak of Atomic controls; tbut even more important is control of the hand that holds the fuse. CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS * 20 North State St. Phone· 3-3151 For.

"AN OMINOUS SILENCE" Editor, Wilkes College Beacon: There a,ppears to be an ominous silence surrounding the c•a mpus concerning the Student Council budget report -0n the Cinderella Ball; I propose to break that silence by posing a few questions. What unlimited powers given to the council sanctioned the net expenses -of $2368.79 for one dance? Admittedly, the Council constitutes the elected representatives of the student majority. Is the present silence an indication that the students passively condone the actions of the Council ? I will await further reaction to this letter before making a decision. The Miscellaneous Expense will be overlooked, this is always a part of a well-orga-ni:zed budget. The $91.3'5 question will conclude the inventory. By what rational means •did our representatives decide to spend such art amount to entertain the entertainers? My-curiosity awaits the distorted reply to this query. · A •p roblem cannot be solved by merely placing blame, but neither can a solution be found by denying its existence. It is -0bvious that .m any weaknesses are contained in the functio1,1i,ng of the Student Council; only an investigation the causal factors which · make for such an irresponsible condition will help aileviate .the. present tension. Too many discrepancies now exist, and for these discrepancies the Council must answer to the Student Body. Joseph H. Kanner of This fall. Reese Pelton will be employed in th.e office of Wilkes College as Assistant to the Dean of Men. Part of his job will be to organize and direct a military band here for athletic events and a concert or two. 'T herefore, I _am directin,g an invitation to · those student musicians who have enough college s,pirit to wish to see•Wilkes' band among the best in the valley, to actively participate in any or all musical aggregations under this college's name. Among the estimated 12.00 students expected next term, there will be enough musicians to more than fill the bill, but only a handfull will be willing to rehearse with the band just once a week in order that Wilkes may make a good showing- on AND off the gridiron. Last year's band was a good start. It did a good job at the football games, and Mr. Pelton was s-0 encouraged that he planned a concert tfor the spring. But' after football season, the membership lagged consideraibly, with the result that the concert was necessarily cut to much less than it otherwise could have been. The band did very well with tl\e instruments avaHable, but there is ne good reason why such restrictions should be placed on it again. Now that it has music and heavy instruments of its own, it lacks •o nly student enthusiasm to make it a top-notch outfit. So get c-0llegiate-minded and plan to help make the Wilkes band a band of which any musician would proud to be a member. oe by marty blake We used to wonder about that famous baseball portrait that shows Schoolooy Rowe taking a last l-0ok at the mound at Briggs Stadium, Detroit, prior to his transfer to the Minor Leagues and wonder just what thoughts might be running · through his mind. The sight of ole Schoolboy standing in the shadows of the grandstand always touched a tender spot in our otherwise cold and somber• heart. But the other day, Monday to be exact, we felt somewhat the same way watching the multitude of Draft Dodger batsmen galavant around the base paths like a runaway herd of rampant steers. The Clowns had lost. History had repeated itself. 'Twas this same time last year and the Clowns were again undefeated in the Summer Softball League. We had a power-packed lineup stressing the Ruthian clouts of Mosse . Galletta and Joe Greco and the fancy-fielding antics of Chick Good and Joe Goldberg. We were riding a crest of a :nine-game winning streak. Naturally we tho1:1ght we were "in" with plenty ·to ~pare.

Gorski took care of the hurling chores. Somehow they kept up to our rapid pace. And then the day came for the big game. Our crew was loud in the prediction of an overwhelming victory.

In your column, you have consistently failed to mention that Joe Gries of the Clowns is the best first baseman in the softball ieague. His field.i ng reminds one of the late Lou Gehrig..

I think he should make the All~Star team. signed, Joe Gries JOIN THE COLONELS CARAVAN Speaking of softball, the league is going along nicely in spite of the fact that the Clowns are making a farce of the race. The reason the league is running along smoothly is because of the enthusiasm shown by all the players on all the teams. They are playing the game to the hilt because they love it. The C. P. A. team led by Walt Hacewski is typical of this spirit. Although they don't have the best team in the league, they do have two of the outstanding players in Phil Kennedy and Jim Morse, short fielder and 3rd baseman respectively. The rest of the team is coma;. posed of Jerry Finn, a very good outfielder1 Clyde Ritter, Len Czaj.kowski, Harris Harvard, Jim Spanos, , Mike Elchak, Bill Boyd, Jerry Bush, Allan Smith; and a smooth pitcher, Tom Richards.

BE A BOOSTER ~PORT ~HOTS . . By GARFIELD DAVIS Beacon Sporis Editor CLOWNS DROP FIRST GAME The truth of that old sports adage, "You can't win them all", was pressed upon the previously allvictorious Clowns last Monday afternoon when they lost their first game of the intramural softball league to Nick Dybach's hardhitting Draft Dodgers. The Dybach men had their hitting togs on and combed the Clown pitchers, Blake 1md Celmar, for ten hits, nine of them coming off the not-so-puzzling slants of starter Blake. As all habitues of Jacobs Beach know, Blake is the lad whose chief claim to fame is his recent shutout victory over the Pre-Med team. On Monday night it was a different story. The Draft Dodgers were at their best at the plate, and that, .plus .a few fielding lapses by the Clowns, brought them their victory. The Draft Dodgers' were leading by a 5-3 count going into the bottom half of the sixth inning, and sewed up the game at that , point when Earl Albright touched Tanky Celmar for a bloping single that scored two runs after Blake had loaded the bases, just before Celmar entered the game. The Draft Dodgers got an added run for "insurance" when Celmar walked in a run before Albright's ~ timely single. Al-bright, supposedly a weak hitter, shared the spotlight as hero of the day with Al Morse, who pitched another good game for the Draft Dodgers, limiting the Clowns to three runs while his im. mates poured eight runs across the plate. Repercussions from the game have been numerous, Manager Dybach having announced that two of his men we'r e guilty of "insubordination". Seems that every man on his squad of fifteen was anxious to get in there and tel!,r the Clowns apart. However, since there were only ~en positions to be filled at the start of the game, five men had to sit the game out. Two of the five were highly resentful and said so, using words . which perhaps were not as polite as words addressed to the dignified Dybach should be. Nick thereupon annouced that the two men would immediately be "placed upon the trading block" as punishment for their impertinence. Blake, Clowns' tnanager, not to be outdone in the elocution department, announced that he will personally conduct a collection among his teammates to purchase bushel baskets to be used by certain members of the team when the Clowns take the field. Such goings-on--and by the dignified and stately leaders of the league, too! , CLOWNS, DRAFT DODGERS LEA VE RIVALS FAR BEHIND Sad to relate, the race for · the crown in the intramural league has turned into a two-team affair. With most teams having five games or less remaining to be played; it is very unlikely that any team can challenge the Clowns or Draft Shown here are the Clowns, currently leading the intra-mural softball league with eleven 'wins -.and one loss for a percentage of .922. The Clowns suffered their only defeat of the season last Monday when the sec~nd-place Draft Dodgers wo!l over them, 8-3.

Ralston Calls GRID PRACTICE TO BEGIN For Managers AUGUST 23 AT KIRBY PARK Football practice sessions for the coming season will begin August 23 at Kirby Park, according to a recent announcement by Coach George Ralston. Ralston urges all students with football ability to come out for the . team as there is a need for replacements to fill in for several of last year's first-stringers w.ho will not be back this year. Ralston hopes to have another strong grid squad to add to the fine record compiled by the teams which represented Wilkes College the past two years. Those teams iost only one game and tied one while winning twelve. Many positions on the squad are wide open, and Ralston hopes for a turnout of at least1 fifty men to fight for those ll .s itions. To make it convenient for; out of town students to get to the ,practice sessions between semesters, arrangements have · been made to allow those students to room at the boys' dormitory during the drills. Practice drills will be held daily from four to six in the afternoon. Because of the fact that the firs.t game of the season will be against Bloomsburg State Teachers ColDodgers for first or second place. Only thing remaining for the other four teams is a chance to act as "spoilers" in .an endeavor to topple the leaders-to make the winner really work for the ~rown. •Chances are that the CPA, PteMed, Dorm and Beacon teams will be gunning for the leaders from here on in, which is as it should be . The team which finally ends up on top should be made to earn that position by knocking down all comers, which is exactly what the pace-setters will have _to do. That joyful feeling of knocking off the top dog is sure. to provide ,a strong incentive to the weaker teams in the remaining .g ames. RALSTON AND TEAM MANAGERS .

RECENT TRIP REGISTRAR Montreal Auto ANNOllNC£S Trip Planned DISAPPOINTING For Sept. 11-15 The Pre-Med Society, in collaboration with Psychology Club, made a tour of the Danville State Mental Hospital on Thursday, August 12. The Wilkes group was gr,eeted by Miss Brown, head nU!'se of the nursing staff. Dr. Fitzerld, member of the Psychiatry staff, rendered a lecture on IDlectric Therapy, a recent discovery in the treatment of the mentally ill. Later in the afternoon · the students were taken on a tour through the various wards where they viewed the conditions under which the patients must recover. . In the opinion of the various students who took the tour, · in all, the trip was a great disappointment. Most disappointment was expressed when the students were r:efused an administrative clinic. The fact that the students were unable to ,p roperly view the patients also brought about many comments. ATI'ENTION !

Bill Griffi,th, Earl Jobes, Bill Kashatus, Tom Lasky, Ruth Lawlor, AJ.'!t Spengler, Ed Wasilewski, Russ Williams, Don FoHmer John ·B urak, Marty Blake EDITORIAL The Social Leech It is becoming increasingly evident from observation and experience that dishonesty can never be completely eradicated from the moral slate of any society. Of course this is true of any of the moral tenets of humankind, but not so prevalently as of dishonesty. And the wounding information is that dishonesty doesn't stand one modicum of a chance for entire obliteration from the ranks of our moral talboos, for there are too many ethical loop-holes whereby our dishonest members are able to find a means of escape. · Honesty, as you must realize, is .s elfish in aspect, for who, actually, will make strong endeavor to follow the path of honesty if he foresees no personal gain? Try to count these persons on your ·r i,g ht index finger and see for yourself. Thfs, however, is not condemning for it is entirely comprehendible, as witnessed by the history of man's social relations. · On the antithetical side of the iposition of honesty in society's moral digest stands dishonesty, logically enough, synonomous with honesty in asipect, for it too is egocentric in nature, perhaps more so. But its particular egocentricity is much more vicious, mote cruel, more destructive than in the case of honesty's self-centeredness. ••show me a liar, and l'll show you a thief" runs the ancient adage. It could 'more effectively read "Show me a dishonest person, and I'll show you one who is working harder AGAINST the progress of culture than one who is working FOR the progress of culture." For that'.s exactly what the dishonest person is doing. He is laboring under self disacknowledgement, attempting to retard the advancement of culture through the medium of personal achievement and gain. ''.Culture is the study of perfection", said one eminent man. Unfortunately, dishonesty stands out, and is represented, as the little blots of imperfection on that study, blots that will never e~perience plenary· aJbsorption. It is a great misfortune th~t such is the case. Much has been done .in the. past to combat this ever-sJ)resent trend of dishonesty, ipartly successful, partly not successful. However, more can be done and should be done, and it is up to the cultured individual, the intellectual-conscious ,person, to extend this campaign to the utmost; to rid this civilized :World, as much as possible, of the dishonest ones, of these.soclia leeches, as it were, the cribibers of society. And this evil is- not so far from home, for no community or society is immune to this terrible disease. Wake up to the world and to yourself, look around you, study the situation, and see the reasons why the world can be a much better place in which to live if honesty could only hold undisputed sway over its rival. Ted Wolfe ,322 Of Our Books Are Missing Three hundred and thi'rty-two (332) of the most popular volumes in the library are missing from the shelves of that domicile of knowledg.e, announced Mr. Joseph H. Meyers, Wilkes librarian, recently. One or more copies of each title, in most cases the' only copy the library possessed, were not in evidence at the time of inventory. Some of them have been gone for two years. The majority of the books are directly related to the subjects taught here. Thus, they are of major importance to the students and faculty of the collge. Consequently, it has been requested that anyone having any knowledge of the whereabouts of these books notify some member of the lilbrary staff.

Important Beacon Me~ting Monday!· Only The·~ustard Was Left · �· Friday, August 27, 1948 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Medical Modicums By JOHN BURAK In medici_ne these days, most of the emphasis is on research and discovery. However, -one thing is being overlooked: Who will administer the new treatments and cures once they have been discovered? Private medical schools which have been turning out more than 60 per cent of our doctors and doing the biggest share of the present research, are slowly going bankrupt. Unless something hap-p ens fairly soon, not only is the research going to drop off but the doctors who might apply its results to the public's healbh will simply not be around. According to recent estimates made by Dr. Alan Valentine; presi'tlent · of the University of Rochester and spokesman for the floundering medical schools, the U. S. will already be short 15,000 M. D.'s by 1960. In order to keep going from year year a bare minimum of $40,0-00,00 annually is an absolute necesty. This sum shrinks to insignificant size when we realize that we spend 5 times this amount each year on vitamins alone. The situation is indeed thought-provoking. f • • • The state of Connecticut has recently helped to pave the way. to the long-deserved classification of alcoholism as a curable diseai:ie by :breaking ground, in Hartford, for the fi.r!!t hospital to 'be devoted ex.elusively to alcoholics and alcohol- :tsm. The hospital will be small--,-having 50 beds-'but i,t s importance, in two ways, far overshadows its size. First, it will estaiblish eonclusively that alcoholism is a disease rather than a dls'gtace:- Soon you Cl!-n te11 your friends , "Joe's ip. the hospital being treated for his alcoholism", and get the same reaction that a reference to a bad appendix would produ~e. Second, the hospital plan will point the way for other states and communities to do something concrete about their own alcoholics. Even its financing is unique: it will !>e supported and maintained by funds collected by the State Liquor Control ·Commission as fees for liquor ,p ermits. Individuals with a dominating fear of hypodermic syringes and the pain associated with injections have cause for relief with the recent 'd evelopment of a new type syringe - without an aggravating needle. The Hypospray, as it is called, operates on the principle of a high pressure jet spray which forces medicine through the skin in a jet so small (only .075 millimeters in diameter) that not enough nerve cells are contacted to cause pain. Results have proved so successful that the U. S. Public Health Service has been testing the instr11ment for possible use in immunizing large masses of the population in the event of germ warfare. Dr. Robert Hingson who made a survey for the USPHS on the Hy,pospray also found it to be extremely useful in dosing leprosy patients who are suffering from periJ)'heral neuritis, a neurological condition of a hypersensitive nature which makes needle injections unbearable. * • * The fact t hat nine out of every ten children have decayed teeth by the time they enter first grade has prompted the writing o:(_ a bill, now before Congress, which would allocate $1,500,-000 for child dental care. The servi_ce to ,be provided by these funds is the application of a revolutionary technique in preventing tooth cavities. The method is extremely simple. Children will have their teeth s,wabbed with a s.o lution of sodium fluoride: there will be four such swalYbings at the age of 3. and four more each at the ages of 7, lO, and 13. This type of treatment will reduce tooth decay , by 40 to 50 per cent. No one knows, with certainty, why sodium fluoride .prevents dental decay, but the evidence is undeniable: In certain areas of the country, sodium fluoride is naturally present in the drinking water in a proportion of one part fluoride per million parts of water. Tooth decay is rare, In nearby communities where the proportion is smaller, tooth decay is correspondingly more frequent. As •for cost, a gallon of 2 per cent solution costs a nickel, and will suffice to swab all the children's teeth in an average-size school. * .• -Wi thin a few minutes after a drowning victim's brea th ing halts, his chances for survival drop toward z.ero if artificial respiration has not been begun. Because of this, the artificial respiration technique fir st -aid au th0 rities recommend is th e one which is quickest and simplest to start ,and continue for long periods. This is the Schafer prone pressure me th0 d whi <:ih can be utilized by one man using no equipment 0th er than his bare ha nd s. Alt!;iough it is used widely, the Schafer method has one big disadvantage: It does not force a large breath of air into a victim's lungs. For this reason, the British navy adopted a newer (Eve) technique in which victims are rocked on a teeter-board or see-saw. In some ways the Eve system is the best method of artfficial respiration yet developed, for it is easy to perform and causes deep breathing movements. It is unsatisfactory as a first-aid procedure however since it requires equipment not often available ·--at a · w·atel- 'front or beach. This is no problem in the British navy where all life-boats are equipped with teeter-boards. In addition to the Schafer method, most organized life-saving groups use mechanical equipment for , restoring breathing. The inhalator supplies oxygen and carbon-dioxide gas to the victim but does not in any way force the victim to breathe. Inhalation is dependent upon the application and release of pressure by the operator's hands. The recusitator eliminates the need for hand artificial respiration; it alternately inflates the lungs with oxygen and then deflates them. If you ever have to give artificial respiration to an immersion, gas poisoning, or electric shock victim, here are the steps to follow: 1. Lay t he victim on his stomach with face resting on hand. · 2. Kneel straddling the patient's thighs, and place your hands on th0' small of his back with the little fingers along the lowest ribs. 3. With arms held straight, swing forward slowly, so that the weight of your ,body is gradually brought to bear upon the victim. Your shoulders should be directly over the heel or the hand at the end of this swing._ Do not bend your elbows. This should take about two seconds. 4. Immediately swing backward so as to remove pressure completely. '5. After two seconds, swing forward again. This will result in twelve to fifteen respirations for the victim per minute. 6. Continue artificial respiration without interruption urttil natural breathing is restored. If necessary, work for four or more hours, or until a physician declares the vietim dead. 7. During the operation an assistant should loosen any tight clothing about the victim's neck, chest, or waist. Keep the victim warm, and do not give any liquids .µ ntil he is fully conscious. 8. To avoid strain on the heart when the victim revives, he should be kept lying down and not allowed to move. If a doctor has not arrived by then, he should be given a stimulant like hot coffee.

One of the unique features of the event was the colorful decorations which caused many in attendance to express their !b elief that it was one of the most colorful dances ever sponsored by the school. The pavilion was transfigured into an Indian viUage, typical of 17th Century America. Jack Melton's orchestra, one _of · the oldest musical aggregations of the valley (they aren't grey-haired, though), provided the slow and smooth music for dancing which added enjoyment to the evening. The affair owes its success to the following members of the Committee : John Feeney, chairman; Anthony Zabiegalski, programs; John Burak, arrangements; George Brody, refreshments; Ed.

Thursday, September 16, 1948 JOIN THE COLONELS' CARAVAN They Need Us, Too By TED WOLFE The Wilkes College Colonels' football team is entering its third year of activity this fall with the initial game being played under the lights Saturday nite at Crispin Field in Berwick, where the squad will meet the able Bloomsburg STC eleven. In this game, the Colonels are looking for their thirteenth victory in fifteen starts, in an attempt to better a record that is, to date, an admirable one indeed. This can not be done, however, merely, with eleven men and a hopeful coach. It is an undertaking that must recruit the whole-hoorted backing of a student body and a hpme town, a game that must see the ball , cross the Wilkes goal not only through the efforts of the · giidders themselves, but with the help and encouragement of people who wish to see the Colonels triumph. You get no material satisfaction as a result of your supporting spirit, true, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have made the players realize that their efforts are not in vain. You will thrill at hearing people say, "With that support, how can the team be anything but victorious?" You will be thoroughly pleased in knowing that the combined endeavors of YOU and the team have helped bring a "name" to Wilkes College, and to Wilkes-Barre. If the team continues to be successful, the word "Wilkes" will be on the lips of nearly every football enthusiast in the East, and you, as a spirited, supporting body, will want to share in that glory. ''WE LOOK WITH PRIDE ...,, AllTaken Reservations At Chase By ART SPENGLER By the summer of 1946 Bucknell University Junior College had expanded sufficiently to qualify for participation in athletics on an intercollegiate level. George •Ralston, now Dean of Men and Director of Athletics, was chosen to shape the destiny of the grid organization in rn46 competition. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Ralston acquitted hims elf admirably on the gridiron for four years. His athletic prowess also evidenced itself in baseball and basketba(I. After graduation he did mound duty in the Coastal Plains League for some time. In 1938 he attend~d the University of. Pittsburgh's Coaching School for football. Prior to entry into service Coach Ralston wa,s head basketball and assistant football coach at Forty Fort High School. He came to BUJC: in 1946 after being discharged from military service as a major. . The response to Ralston's call for football candidates was gratifying, approximately 60 men gathered for the initial workout. This contingent was sprinkled generously with outstanding talent in such men as: Jack Feeney whose playing for Kingston High obtained for him the recognition as Wyoming Valley A,ll-Scholastic End in 1943; Bob Gorgas who received All-Scholastic honors in 1942; Sam Elias who was Meyers' High School contribution to the All-Scholastic roster in 1943; and Bob Waters who merited AllScholastic recognition while playing for Forty Fort High School. These were some of the men with the more scintillating football pasts. However, there were excellent performers among those who had not received All-Scholastic honors. What coach could overlook Supinski, Florkiewicz, Castle, Galletta, Washco, Lewis, Knapich, to mention a few? Faith in the coach and players was vindicated that first season when BUJC came thro_ugh undefeated. The squad amassed a total of 95 points to the opp·osiiion's 13. Bucknell Junior Varsity and Dickinson Junior College were the only two teams that scored on BUJC . Keystone Junior College. King's College, Pittston Vocational School, and Wyoming Seminary failed to score aerially or through our version of the Maginot Line. As was expected, the King's-BUJCgame attracted the greatest number of fans . Some 2000 people saw Florkiewicz pass to Waters for thewinning touchdown. Most of the lettermen returned for the 1947 season; consequently there were very few changes in the varsity lineup. Eight games were placed on the schedule with the Army J. y. unbeaten in three years furnishing the oppositoin for the first game. Unfortunately this first game resulted in the only defeat handed this institution's football team . The Wilkes aggregation extended itself magnificently but its best was not enough. At that, the score was only 13-0. Pittston Vocational School, Keystone, New York A. & M., and King's succumbed in that order. Again King's provided opposition that satisfied thrifl-hungry fans. Waters endeared himself. to the hearts of Wilkes fans with itn encore of his 1946 performance by once more scamp~ring t or the winning touchdown. National Junior' ·Colleg.r doi;gedly fought Wilkes to a 6-6 tie.

Wilkes College will be well represented by the students accompaning the team in the Colonels' Caravan. The Caravan will be made up of chartered buses, cars and anything else that has wheels and gears. The students will meet in front of Chase Hall at 7:00 P.. M. Kick-off is scheduled for 8:30.

Reservations can be made i~ Chase Hall today and tomorrow. The price of the trip is $1.65, which includes transportation to and from the game and admission to the field. Reservations for bus transportation can be made with Tony Zabiegalski, Evelyn Penaligon, George Brody, Jack Feeney, Mr. Robert Partridge of the faculty or Earl Jobes. Nonstudents will be required to pay the full admission price of $1.00, consequently the price of the trip for them will be $1.90.

As a result of this dynamic nature · we have become the richest and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. We have produced wonders in the arts and sciences and government on so prodigious a scale as to command the respect and envy of the world. And unfortunately our position is such that we have been challenged in our rights to that preeminence by less fortunate 'nations . . . Not less so today. Notwithstanding the triumphs we have achieved by virtue of these dynamic attributes of our people, as fate would will it, there are also some drawbacks. Because of this increased tempo of living we are individually subjected to certain stresses and strains in our daily life . . We are all struggling human beings as we are caught up in the i.J::nmediacy of "today's decisions". We tend to lack or lose our sense of direction. Then again we know so little of "what it is all about" in a chaotic institutionalized world much too big for most of us. And in the contest of our workaday lives we find the pressures generated bear more heavily on some individuals than on others. So we all resort at one time or another to some means of escape as we run up against seemingly insurmountable obstacles: real or imaginary. The most typical escape mechanism is to shift the onus to someone else. Or we rationalize our position to justify our actions. There is also a strong tendency to iiarcotize our anxieties by drowning ourselves in hard work, excitement-or drink. To protect ourselves, at times, we stay away from places and do not read things that will cause anxiety. And when external pressures upon us become very great we either redoubie our aggressiveness or withdraw within ourselves. We are quite apte to promise according to ·our hopes . . . and act according to our fears. · And even in matters of recreation pressure and anJtj.~ty dog 6ur steps. . We became so terribly earnest about the problems of daily life-that we use our leisure time as an escape instead of ·time for relaxation, rest and stimulation of tired minds qnd bodies. Most of our typical forms of recreation appear to be of a purposeless and aimless nature, providing neither the relaxation nor the stimulation which are the prerequisites of a commendable form of recreation. Albeit one must concede they are stimulating . . . however not necessarily in the way of creative and constructive thinking and doing. What seems to be the real need or desire expressed in the wants of the majority of those who seek recreation is a sense of real participation combined with a genuine concern in the welfare of all the others sharing· in the activity. Now if this be true, college students should find much to their taste and interests in the activities which the campus .so richly provides and in such great abundance. Foremost is the stimulating companionship of so many interesting personalities among one's fellow students. It seems the fine old art of conversation has been sadly neglected in the past; but there are gratifying signs of a vigorous revival of that lost art. Then there are the many other variegated and wholesome activities with which the student should concern himself. It would not' only serve to broaden ,a nd enrich his background and cultural life,, but also inspire in him the indispensable confidence of living a full and satisfying social life. In short to get along with people. · To study hard also means to play hard ... And there ·are plentiful opportunities for both here on the campus. Edward Jan Wasilewski loved students and classmates, Ann Marie O'Brien, who died Monday afternoon in Mercy Hospitql as a result of an automobile accident Sunday morning. Ann Marie, an active member of the Spanish Club at Wilkes, would have entered her sophomore year here this fall. She will be sadly missed by students and faculty alike.

Marty Blake EDITORIAL PENNSYLVANIA WEEI( During the week of September 26 to October 2, Pennsylvanians will celebrate Pennsylvania Week for the purpose of showing to other peoples just what it is that makes Pennsylvania the great state that it is. We, as active, intelligent students who desire to advance not only the welfare and culture of our own state, but also that of the United States in general, can help to a large extent. . In the course of this period, Pennsylvanians will point out the outstanding facts of Pennsylvania, showing how we excel, in certain ways, other sections of the coutry. We can, for instance, make it kno~n that Pennsylvania outproduces every other state in fifty major industries, that we have more farms than England and Wales together, that we produce more power than any other state, that we are the largest coal-producers in the world, that our steel production is among the highest in the world. We pos.s ess a great amount of ; aw materials, and proudly assert that our scenery is comparable in beauty to most sections. The major percentages of population, manufacturing industries, and industrial workers are claimed by Pennsylvania~ By boosting our state, we can incite more people to live here, more industries to locate here, which in turn will produce better business, industrial, and social opportunity for us and the future generations. Our part as college students can help immensely in attaining these objectives. By hard work and study, creative thinking and planning, we can make it possible for Pennsylvania to rank among the top cultural and educational centers of the United States. We can work towards putting the name of our college, ,a nd in turn our city and state "on the map," so to speak. in a way that will make it stand out more prominently and importantly, and thus become a hub of cultural, industrial, and social activity that will be an inspiration. During this week, help to make the above ambitions become realities. Help promote your state, and as a result, the civilized world in general. T. Wolfe Hazing Can Be Good Hazing can be a good thing. The initiation of Freshmen is almost as old as colleges themselves. It is an excellent tradition and traditions are something that every school strives to establish. • Wilkes College is presently taking its place with the other institutions in this country. Last year it was decided that the hazing of Freshmen would be under the direction of the Lettermen's Chili. The boys formed the Freshmen Tribunal and "punished" violators of freshmen regulations. This was done in a friendly manner and everyone, including the freshmen, had a good time during freshman week. · This year the same plan was put into effect and the first transgressors were brought to trial. The session of court was going along quite smoothly, with the upperclassmen having the upper hand and the freshmen saying nothing, as usual, until one freshman decided to defend himself. He was not given much of a chance to say anything, but whenever he did manage to get a word in, he would "stump" the esteemed attorneys. It was at this point that the hazing got out of .hand. The judge decided that the jury should file out and reach a verdict without hearing any more testimony from the defendant. He was 11aturally- found guilty of all charges and the extreme penalty was recommended. He was then th.r own upon a table and given a free haircut. This punishment was not surpnsmg considering that the · defendant had been brought to trial on thirteen charges and had been adjudged guilty on all accounts. The surprising part of the whole affair, however, was the action taken by his antagonists who no longer expressed a friendly · attitude. In fact, one of them consistently threatened him.

This writer has heard many compliments a.bout the band from' varied sources, chief of which was fromthe director of · the famed Berwick High School Band, Mr.. R R. Llewellyn. He was particularly impressed with the marching tempo and the instrumental balance. Others have said that the uniforms, though far from b~ing os tentatious, •a re adequate and impressive on the field In fact, the worst thing that has been said to date' is that they didn't play enough, a fa ult that is easily understood considering the lack of rehearsal time. I heartily agree that the band h as promising possibilities. However, they still lack about thirty members who could fill out the instrumental departments to even better proportions. Besides the many legitimate excuses offered by would-be band members, there have been voiced many weaker ones. Some say they can't play well enough or are out of practice. My answer to them is, come around . and practice with us once a week and have fun doing it. Others say that they are too busy to take part in extra-curricular activities. Of course, homework takes up a large portion of your time but part of college education is learning how to plan care~ully in order tohave some time to do other things. Once Shakespeare, when confronted with t he question of why music was ever ordained, replied "-was it not to refresh the mind of man, after his studies, or his usual pain?" Band work is a profitable way to spend your extra hours, for while you are improving yourself, you also aid the schopl by adding , spirit, especially a t sports activities. Everyone loves a good band, but a half-hearted one is worse than none at all. Perhaps you have in mind some suggestions for improvements or alterations that you feel should be made in the present organization. If so, get in touch with Reese Pelton, Vester Vercoe, or me, and we will give your thoughts seriou,s consideration. Identification Cards Required For Book-Users In order to identify students of Wilkes, ali pupils using the library will be required to produce a library card. This card may be obtained at the library's circulation desk on the first floor of Kirby Hall at the corner of South · and '"), South River Streets. A card will -"""?· .be issued to any student showing his registration card or burser's receipt to the attendant at the desk. Whenever a book is taken from· the library, the student must present his library card at the desk Without the card, no books may b• taken out.

FOR TOMORROW NIGHT'S GAME School and Office ·,1, iPORT §HOTS By GARFIELD DA VIS Beacon Sports Editor EVERY DAY SOMETHING 11,EW The Wilkes Colonels spent last Satu;day evening in what was for them an unaccustomed fashion. Having been used in the past two years to being oh the Jong end of the s·c ore, the Colonels must have been profoundly shocked to find that at the end of the struggle the scoreboard read, Bloomsburg 25, Wilkes 0. The game was played at Berwick's Crispin Field before h crowd in excess of 7,000. , The Colonels were unable to get g-0ing with their celebrated runniilg attack. with which they operated so successfully in the past two years. The Bloomsburg team, using a line which outweigheq the Wilkes forward wall by a comfortable mar,gin, displayed a host of shifty backs who. ran and passed only too well. The Wilkes pass defense was I)ot clicking, and the Huskies were q-qick to .take advantage of it. With Backs J oe Apichella, Bob Lang a.nd Jim Reedy leading the way, the Huskies rolled up eleven first downs while . scoring four times on passes and Jong sprints. Lang provided the highlight of the evening when he intercepted one of Leo Castle's .passes and- ran 78 yards for a Bloomsburg touc_h down. For the first time in three years the Wilkes backs were unable to roll, Florkiewicz, Supinski, Evans, Pinkowski and Castle being stopped consistently by the rugged Bloomsburg line. The only bright spot in ·the game for ,Wilkes was the play of Johnny ·DeRemer. former Scranton University footlballer. DeRemer ,did most of the running and pass~ ing for the Colonels, and did very well by himself on both counts, especially in the ball carrying department, ·where he showed considerable speed and elusiveness. Castle, ordinarily a dependable passer and kicker, had an off night in both departments, but, luckily, DeRemer filled in for him as passer, and End Al Morse acquitted himself ~ el\ . as punter. According . to Coach George Ralston, the Colonels are not taking the defeat too much ' to heart, but instead are busily readying themselves for their next encounter, against St. Francis College, of Lorettii., Pa. Ralston stated after the game that his team just "wasn't up" for the contest, and. that the Colonel pass defense was much more ine~ficient than it. has been in the past. He had kind words to say for the Bloomsburg team. Praising their powerful line and clever backs. The Berwick Lions Club staged an affair which, had it concluded in the proper fashion, might have salvaged something for the WilkesBarreans present at the game. After the contest the L10ns chanced off a new Buick sedan, for which they had sold chances at a dollar per. If a Wilkes fan had come home with a new Buick, obtained for one dollar, he might have been able to forget his sorrow at having se~n his team smothered by a 25-0 count. However, in keeping with the rest of the evening's occurrences, a -resident of Bloomsburg was the lucky winner. ·so we lost out dn t hat one, ·,t oo. · i :s T. FRANCIS NEXT Elias, ·supinski and Company get their next chance to break into the 1948 win column next Saturday night at 8 o'clock when they ,t ake on the gridders of. St. Francis College at Meyers High School $tadium. Coach Ralston scouted ~he St. Francis gridders in their game against Canisius at Buffalo, ~- Y., recently, and reports that, though they lost the game, · they have a strong team and will doubtiess make the 'Colonels work hard to win. St. Francis' style of play is similar ot ours, except that they use a "T" formation to a certain extent, whereas the Wilkes team relies almost exclusively on a single wing formation. Unlike the Bloomsburg team, the St. Francis outfit will not have a weight advantage over t he Colonels; both t eams are about the same in that department. Canisius beat St. Francis with passes, so it might be that t he Colonels will take to the air tomorrow night. We didn't venture to hazard a g uess on last Saturday's game because we had too much respect f,o r that Bloomsburg team and hated to make a prediction that find s Wilkes on the short end. This time, however, we'll -take a flyer and say : Wilkes 20, St. Francis 6. And, to paraphrase a certain sportswriter you may know of, don't be remiss in disclosing the fact that we so enlightened you. See you at the game! SHORT SHOTS Several Wilkes gridders came out of the Bloomsburg game with assorted aches and pains, notably Paul Thomas, w.ho was "sat on" by one of the ponderous Bloom tackles and has several sore ribs to prove it. . Bloomsburg's sensational Bob Lang made quite a hit with the fans last Saturday night. His 78-yard touchdown jaun t was something to see. "Witchaboo" ran with a deceptively fast gait, as -the Wilkes team found out in attempting to nail him after he intercepted Casble's pass and started for the Colonel goal line . .. Marty Blak e, the reserved one, now has two more schemes up his sleeve-intramural basketball and boxing. On the latter, Blake claims that there are no less than 23 Wilkes students who 'Possess considerable boxing talent. Colonels Dumped Bv Bloom, 25-0 ,.I The HLV!kies of Bloomsburg S. T. C. and the Cplonel s of Wilkes blew the lid off the local inter-collegiate football season last Saturday night at Berwick's Crispin Stadium. In the process the Colonels were nearly blown off the field, coming out on the short end of a 25 to O score. An overflow crowd of 8,000 saw the outweighed and outma,nned Colonels fi gh t desperately all the way trying -to get their attack clicking. The Huski'es led by two hard running backs, Lang and Peterson, and working behind a hard charging line rolled up some very impressive yardage. The Colonels took the wra-p s off a new star m John DeRemer. DeRemer proved that he can run in fast company, and thrilled the Wilkes rooters on several occasions with several nice runs . Bobby Waters was a demon on defense, and his blocking was really impressive. One of the high lig-hts of the game occured when Chet Knapich rushed the Bloom passer, blocked and intercepted the pass, and alinost got away for a touchdown. The main difference in the two teams was in the line. On several occasions the Colonels linemen didn't seem to k ~ow their assignments. One bright spot in the line was the play of Jack Feeney ahd AI Morse at the ends. Feeney was on the receiving end of a couple of completed passes and Morse's kic:-ks were long and went out of bounds not giving the Huskies any chance to return them. This Saturday night at Meyers Stadium the Colonels hope to break into the win column when they meet St. Francis College of Loretta, Pa.

Members of th e freshman and sophomore classes heard Mr. Ram sey explain the need for funds, the rising cost as it affects the Chest, and the benefits to be derived from the Chest by the public of Wyoming Valley. Mr. Ramsey stressed the fact t hat the Chest as a welfare agency does not exist. He pointed out that it merel y coordinates thirty-two Wyoming Valley social service groups. "Therefore," he reminded students , "when you give keep. in mind that your contribution is for thirty-two agencies to do their necessary work for one year." A plan is also being considered which will mean that the Chest will also embody the drives for the American Cancer Society and U. S. 0. As is easily seen, the idea of one drive by a central coordinating Qffice is more efficient for the various agencies concerned and means that the entire Wyoming Valley social aid field is covered in one drive, thus eliminating the inconvenience of separate drives. All individuals working in Wyoming Valley will be asked to contribute one day's pay to the drive. Corporations and company administrators are being asked to double their form er donations. The rising costs of maintaining these agencies means that this year the Chset is asking for, and must receive, a record fund. The Community Chest drive here at Wilkes will get under way very soon. Various campus organizations will act as teams with the winning group feted at a party with food and dance music furnished free. It is expected that these organizations will solicit juniors and seniors only. The two lower classes will receive their pledge cards at the October 12th -assembly. These two classes will be pitted against the upper two in competition. The Chest needs money badly. Remember, everyone in Wyoming Valley benefits when the less fortunate are helped. ,Pleading for aid in the 1948 Community Chest "Red Feather" Drive, Mr . James Ramsey, formerly of Bucknell Junior College, called to mind the importance of the Community Chest. He spoke preceding themain address at the Tu esday assembly. The Wyoming Valley Community Chest 1948 goal is $854,000. and and the proceeds will help to support thirty-two health and welfare agencies in the community. The ch est supports such organizations as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Y. M. C. A., Y .. W .. C .. A . , Y. M. H. A., Catholic Charities, Jewish Welfare Organizations,. and many other welfare groups in the vicinity. • Mr. Ramsey mentioned that if the current goal is reached, the chest plans to consolidate other organizations which heretofore have raised their funds independently. In the current campaign, all donors are asked to double last year's pledge. The rise in the goal is due to the higher cost of living and the expanding coverage of the community chest. Dr. Farley followed Mr. Ramsey's plea by announcing that Reese Pelton will discuss the matter further at the next assembly which will be at 11 o'clock on Oct. 12 at_ the Baptist church House. •· - .:.J ATTENTION ALL JUNIORS AND SENIORSl!I All fifth semester Liberal Arts Students will receive a notice from the Regi strar's Office at some later date concerning the number of semester hours needed for graduation. This will apply only to those students in their fifth and sixth semesters. It is necessary for all Liberal Arts majors to know exactly what courses and electives are required for graduation. All people taking Bachelor of Science in Biology, Chemistry, Commerce and Finance, Commercial Education are expected to follow the catalog; those who. follow the prescribed courses in the catalog will meet the requirements for their particular field.

Although there was stiff competition from the local scholastic football games, there was n o excuse for the small crwod that was present. }from a student body of well over fifteen hundred, only two hundred and seven were on hand for the dance. Considering this fact , it was a poor showing on the upperclassmen's part. The only upperclassmen that could be accounte;l for, with the exception of a few, were either from the Letterman's Club or from the Student Council. ·bespite this fact, a good time was had by those that were there. Dancing was made enjoyable b:f the fine music of Reese Pelton's orchestra, and upon the instigation of Jack Feeney, some diversion s were added. Feeney lined all the Freshmen up in the center of the floor, and with the year l:>_ook's photographer standing on the band stand, the Frosh marched toward him and had their pictures snapped. Then Feeney picked twelve Freshmen and made them kneel and pray for a Wilkes' Victory against St. Francis. Also appearing in the yearbook will be the picture of the "Frosh Band". Not that we had any music from them; there were no musicians among . them. It was just the idea of some upperclassmen to make eome Frosh 11it on the band stand and make like musicians.

EDITORIAL A NOTE TO THE FACULTY TO MEMBERS OF THE WILKES FACULTY: You may have heard, recently, of a "movement" that took place on and around the Wilkes College campus a couple of weeks ago. This movement was an attempt, on the part of certain interested students, to bring the spirit of those concerned directly or indirectly with Wilkes College at least up to par. These students had realized that heretofore events that have taken place at Wilkes were, in general, poorly attended. These students were rather tired of seeing their money, especially in these times, being used to finance affairs that time and again proved not successful. And too, school spirit here was at an ebb that, as far as is known, has been experienced in no other institute of higher learning in the United States. With the exception of the Cinderella Ball (and that famous orchestra leader was the impetus for attendance there), many of the school's social · activities were, so to speak, flops. This was especially true with attendance at the football games (and in recent years it has been the football team that has helped give Wilkes a "name"). So Earl Jobes, an enterprising Wilkes student, and a few others decided to do something about it. Thus was born the movement which had no name, but which made an honest and sincere attempt to raise school spirit, and attendance at the football games. These persons realized that Coach Ralston and his boys needed more than just practice and gumption to go up against the opposing teams. They needed the backing of a home town, and more essentially, of a student body-and faculty. Theµ- slogan became "Join The Colonels Caravan," and it received a marvelous response. Previously, the Wilkes team was fortunate if it played before a crowd of 300. (In fact, it was considered a large crowd.) But this year, as a result of very hard work, the team played its first game before no less than 7000 people. This was amazing. The next game was played before 3000. These were the two largest crowds that had ever wit~essed a Wilkes game. Everyone was satisfied, especially the team. This heartened the players, who were rather skeptical over the Caravan idea. They realized that there were some who DID hope for a Colonels' victory, and that more than a few people were backing them. Everyone was satisfied, that is, until it was reported that only 10 of more than 100 Wilkes faculty members, bought tickets for the game. It was then that the students began to wonder. For the first game, approximately 500 Wilkes students were in attendance. That is nearly half of the entire student body. A good percentage. But only one-tenth of the faculty attended the game. A poor percentage. A school can only- be as good as its' i~tructors. It is in their teachers that the students place their trust and faith. Without SPIRIT soldiers cannot win a battle. Without SPIRIT football players cannot win their battles. C olonels man your helmets-<md gun. 0 pen up that line-and run. ' L unge an extra yard-<:md score! 0 peration touchdown-and more!

As we are free to choose and elect those who would lead us-we can control our destiny to that extent. Insofar as our governmental organization under the constitution permits peaceable transfer of authority-we are assured of maintaining our cherished beedoms. Conversely when a people must resort to violence to remove those who rule-liberty is dead! As free and intelligent Amricans we must guard our right to exercise the vote as one of our most cherished possessions, ,perhaps the most valuable of all. For what is life without liberty? ! Finally it must be understood by all that there can be no absolute solution to the problem of leadership in a progressive society, for this is necessarily an endless evolution. Adequate leadership will depend upon the continouus appraisal of the sentiments and understandings by which the people are guiding their actio~. as the most important factor involved in organizing purposeful activity. Social sentiment should not be regarded as an obstruction-but as a reason for the existence of that purpose in the first place. We are all to a certqin degree leaders in our own right, as we intermingle with fellow members of our society. We conduct ourselves with concern. for others, and with a reasonable expectation which their form of behaviour will assume. Thus we all make our contributions in constructing a way of life . . . the American way of life. And that way of life has at its bottom a wide spread of social responsibility· in a relatively high degree among all its members. Yet notwithstanding all the safeguards that have been devised, the price of liberty remaias the same eternal vigilance. So soon social respqnsibility begins to degenerate, it necessitates excessive guidance from the top. And there are those only too happy to provide that guidance, ill equipped though they may be. A progressive society is neces~arily a self-analysing society, in which an experimental attitude with ~espect to social and political activities is combined with a wide spread concern for the accepted ways of life. The essence of a democratic way of life is the exercise of instructed and effective living with social concern for one's fellow man. "Your Right To Know Is The Key To All Your Liberties." This is the siogan of the 1948 National Newspaper Weelf. which will be l).eld from October 1 to October 8. This period was originated by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' Association in 1932 and became a national program in 1940. In addition to being the fifteenth year in which Newspaper Week is c~lebrated, 1948 is the 244th year of newspaper publishing and printing in the .United States. It was in 1704 that John Campbell published the BOSTON NEWS LETTER, and the first daily paper, the PENNSYLVANIA PACKET AND DAILY ADVERTISER, was founded in Philadelphia in 1784. ,.Thus, the newspaper as we know it today has quite a history. Almost synonomous with the founding of the first newspaper was the rising significance of the cry "Freedom of the Press," a cry which has become the keynote on which is based all the fundamentals of the newspaper. As Americans, we, more than any other nation in the world, have enjoyed that inheritance of those who wished freedom in all manners of living-an inheritance the like of which is as yet unknown in any other part of this world. Standing out very prominently among these freedoms is that which we call "Freedom of the Press." It has been rigidly set forth that such freedoms are unalienable and unquestionable rights by legal statutes. · . In exercising its freedom, however, the newspaper has realized that there are certain tenets which it must follow (and consequently has done so quite successfully). It has been mu~ually conceded that a newspaper is restricted by consideration for the welfare of the public. A newspaper that uses its powers only for its own selfish purposes is a traitor to its cause. Non-partisanship in editorial comments and unbiased opinions in news reports are prime requirements .of every newspaper, and if these tracks are departed from, the newspaper is acting antithetically to all the canons of the law of the profession. • Impartiality, fair play, honesty, decency, accuracy, truthfulness, and sincerity should be the goal for all journalists, for they represent his obligations to society. If 'he refuses to uphold these doctrines, he is not a true journalist; rather, he becomes Edward Jan Wasilewski ci menace to the successful progress of culture. Newspaper Week will try to present the public with the true story of one of their most important working parts, for the newspaper is a vital mechanism of today's society. More than 100,000,000 people read the newspapers, and it will be the job of the journalism. profession this week to show its many readers the actual picture of the newspaper world as it is today, and to B'y TOM ROBBINS show what occurs behind the scenes of the most widely-circulat"Human Relations in Industry" status to the list. He placed special ed literature of the day. was the topic of Mr. Roy Head's emphasis on the status factor. address at last Tuesday's assembly Mr. Head\ who is a graduate of Ted Wolfe 1 ASSEMBLY SPEAKER STRESSES HUMAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS EDITORIAL How Free Can We Be? No society can survive, in which its members act without regard for its stability or well being. Therefore if we are to retain a sound social framework that will guarantee security and well being for us all there cannot be absolute liberty-regardless of consequences. This is not to say that we must accept our system as perfect -or even the best possible. Only a fool could t_h ink that way. However, genuine freedom for an individual is possible only in \SO far as he identifies his satisfactions with the general well being. , Democracy, hence, does not mean personal irresponsibility; it is contranwise the widest possible diffusion of personal responsibility that is the man characteristic of a genuine democratic society. · How could it be otherwise? A society based on personal irresponsibility must end in chaos, or its evil alternative-regimentation. And that is exactly the foundation on which ambitious dictators lay their plans for gdining control of a natioJ?,. In fact it is practised today 'a s a fundamental part of the over-all strategy of the greatest dictatorship the world has ever seen. . It is not to be presumed that in a democracy all people are equal either ,in their natural endowment or iri the functions they perform. Obviously not everyone can be president of a bank, the head of a state or the manager of an industrial enterprise; To put it another way, we shall always have among us those unique personalities known as "leaders". Now it is in the manner in which these leaders are accepted, the conditions under which they retain their leadership and the way in which they conduct their activities as leaders, that determines the type of society and the opportunities of the citizen in the Baptist Church-house. 1Mr~ Head explained why the world of business should be of interest to one and all of the students in college today. He mentioned that; when a youth, he used to daydream of high adventure whenever the topic of business came up. Since that time he has realized ·that any actuality of high adventure or of the world of living as we know it is not possible without business. The current civil war between labor and business is second in importance only to the present problems with Russia. Mr. Head stated that when either ,l abor or business has complete power, corruptness of government sets in. To hit a happy medium there must be a balance of power. '1n mentioning the cause of the disagreements, Mr. Head pointed out several differences between the labor and business groups. For one thing, the businessmen look back to the "good old days" and hope for the return of those times. The laibor leaders, meanwhile, are opposed to any kind of labor-saving machi,nes. These are only little differences, and the failure of both sides contributes to the difficulties. The basic difference is so small that both sides could obtain their goals by comprom1smg . and thereby achieve a Utopia in industry.. The most discus§!ed labor wants include steady jobs, high wages, chances for advancement, and better working conditions. Mr. l:Jead added some o:i' his own factors which he feels are· as important as any which were mentioned. Recognition of human ri¥hts and of a job well-done were main factors which the speaker felt were omitted from the wants of labor. He also added justice, opportunity, and Harvard and now the Director of Research of the International Correspondence School, stated that one of his first experiences as to lack of recognition on the job came soon after the First World War. At that time he journeyed to the west and obtained a job at Pueblo, Colorado as a supervisor in a grocery stor~. Two days later, he left because he discovered that his predecess,or had been making fifty p·e rcent more salary. He held many jobs in those years, realizing more and more the complete lack of human relations between business and labor. Moving back east, Mr. Head joined an advertising agency and stayed there for sixteen year, eventually becoming president of the firm. He recalled that in those sixteen years he completely lost track of the workmen's ways of life. His chance to relive all of the forgotten days as a workman came during the Second World War. Hired by the Bethlehem Steel Company, Mr Head was appointed one of the personnel managers and soon rediscovered that American workmen are proud and smart and that they want to be treated as humans instead of as machines. Some employers who have club houses, bonuses, and other specials for their employees seem to have no labor troubles. However, Mr Head stated· that the employers ' main fault was that they wer e classifying the employees in a sci . entific manner. Workers want som e values which are not material. Mr Head cited some examples of per. sons who, though not wealthy, ar e happily occupied because they re . ceive some recogni,tion for th e work they do. Mr. Head climaxed his talk b y submitting these proposaJ.s: LOUNGE AROUND By JOE PINOLA and ED PERMOWICZ In the heart of the campus and in the hearts of most of t he male members of the Wilkes populus the men's lounge stands high. H;ere can be found more Kants, Thorndikes, Benets, Summers, and Zilches ·than Millie has wrapped up in bindings at the college book store. Commencing with this issue and continuing for the duration of this school year, ",L ounge Around" will take its place as one of the many features of your BEACON. It is the inten_tion of' this column to bring to you the events and happeniI)gs from the lounge as you l ounge. 1M,any new names will appear in this ,column, the names of those fellows who attend the dances, the athletic events and the various club meetings. These will be the names of the gentlemen who contribute immensely to the general good will among our students. Perhaps even more important, these will be the names of the BEACON readers. As the scribbling representatives of you members of · the lounge, we fervently hope to make this column one that you will thoroughly enjoy. We 'hope to express your beliefs. and note your suggestions. We hope to poke fun at you but intend to laugh with you, not at you. Besides humor, satire, creative criticism, and t he like, we intend to inject sports, polls of various kinds, and the opinions of you, the members · of the lounge as a unit. Concerning . the serious side of this column, we also intend to ·note the as.p ects of your activities, dull as well as. bright. · Perhaps through our efforts in words and phrases, we may be able to correct some of the wrongs being done to such a place of recreation. With yqur co-operation, we can succeed: First, the employllr should not try to fool his employees; he should follow the golden rule. Second, business should be allowed to temporarily influence schools, particularly elementary schools. Third, churches should adapt themselves to the modern way of life; mini~ters of all faiths sh?uld be -contmuously aware of their duty throughout the week as well as on Sunday. In s u!llmin~ up, Mr. H_ead called for a triple ahance of busmess, edu~ation and r~ligio1: t? help human1ze the relations m mdustry.

MARY CRAIG REPORTS BRITISH DETERMINATION IS OF THE HIGHEST CALIBRE By N0RB OLSHEFSKI Under a blanket of mental depression caused by excessive government red tape and regulations, the British people are still staunchly independent and determined, according to Dr. Mary Craig, head of the Wilkes English department, who just recently returned from a summer tour of England. When asked about conditions in Great Britain under the socialist system, Dr. Craig gave many keen observations which demonstrate to her knowledge of England and the English people. Foremost in the minds of the people who are interested in this great socialist experiment which is going on in England is the question of how the average English worker is faring. From Dr. Craig's observations, the average worker in England today is receiving a great many more benefits than ever before in the history of that country. He has a National Health Insurance Program; he is receiving higiher wages, and better working condtions. However, for these added benefits he is paping higher taxes and faced with more governm_ent regulations. For instance, English workers are made to pay 9 shillings 6 pence on every twenty shillings earned, or; to put it in American terms, he is paying $1.9-0 out of every four dollars he earns. This heavy rate of taxation, combined with high prices has been particularly hard on widows, living off small income, country gentlemen who have small savings accounts and pensioners. Rationing of meats and fats is sti'll severe and people augment their meagre ration by eating 1in restaurants and hotels as often as they can afford it. This practice, however. is not pleasing to the people. They feel that food should be distributed to the famjlies, tp.ere!by avoiding the necessity of playing a strain on public eating places. The housing shortage in England is even more acute than it is in America. Dr. Craig reports seeingrow upon row of English 'houses empty and badly in need of repairs in order to make them habitable. The owners of the houses either do not have the capital to make the repairs or cannot wade through government regulations to get the required materials. However, there has been some government· building in the suburbs of manufacturing areas. These new houses are reported to be well equipped with the latest facilities and are" much better than the tenements of the slums. But, in spite of the hardships the Britisher must go through, he still enjoys his festivals, hunts, regattas and musicals. On his two week holiday, he still travels through the countryside enjoying his vacation. However, he travels by bus tod_ay whereas before the war he traveled by rail. This is a sta_rtling change because before the war the British railways were probably the most used railroads in the world. The change· has been brought about by an increase in fares . In some instances, rail fares are three times tJhe price of bus fare to the same destination. There is still one entertainment which has not increased in price. This is the series of Shakespearian plays which are ;produced annually at the Stratford Memorial Theatre. Dr. Craig reports long queqµes of people standing for hours in the hope of obtaining standing room. The hig,hest ;pxice seat in the house is $2.10. the lowest is fifty cents. This great educational force has attracted people from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Dr. Craig said that hundreds of people were disappointE)d when the Malvern Festival was cancelled because of lack of funds to repair the theatre which was damaged during the war. This festival was to have had as its highlight, the presentation of a new play by George Bernard Shaw. He will not allow the play to be presented· at any other place but Malvern. There are hopes that the Festival will be produced next year. Compliments of Along with the desire for rich educational entertainment is an upsurge in registration at the colleges A and universities. Most S<!hools of higher learning are overcrowded FRIEND with both British and foreign students. Schools have adopted a policy of finding room for any eligible student. There was a heavy registration of American students at St. Andrew's for the summer semester. One of England's oldest colleges, EXPERTS IN SOLVING Eton, is undergoing extensive reDIFFICULT pairs to the heavily bombed porPLUMBING AND HEATING tions of the school. PROBLEMS No trip to England would be complete •w ithout visiting the famous old castles and the favorite haunts of famous literary figures. Dr. Craig made her trip complete by visiting such famous castles as Warwick, Windsor, Caernarvon and Edinburgh. She also visited the 27 E. Northampton St. burial place of Duncan and MacEst. 1871 ' beth on Iona. Another famous spot which is dear to the hearts of writers and which Dr. Craig visited is Greta Hall, where Coleridge, Southey and Shelley all lived at various intervals in tJheir lives. The pity that Dr. Craig had developed for Dr. Johnson who wrote his lexicon in an attic, turned to envy when she discovered that it was not a dim, dirty, stuffy room set under the eaves of his home in Gough Square. It was, instead, a cheerfully lighted and well heated studio. All things considered, Dr. Craig considers her first visit to England, Wilkes-Barre.

After having witnessed the Jatest version of the Wyoming Massacre, one's fiiist inclination is to criticize the Colonels' general ineptness. After thinking things over, one comes to the conclusion that it is_ easy to "ride with a winner," but 1t takes a real sport to support a losing team. The winning team doesn't need a pat on the back as · much as a losing team does. The . qolonels' hav,e been trying hard to break into the win column, and _that may be the source of the trouble as a team that iis pressing too hard is likely to make too many mistakes. Your reporter knows that ,t he players have been impressed by the support shown them by the support shown by the students, and it could be possible that they are trying too h~rd to please. Last year when the •s tands were practically empty, the team wasn't under pressure and consequently made a better showing.

The Wilkes team, after the Bloomsburg debacle, and then the St. Francis game, has been forced . to conclude that its opponents this year are not at all impressed by the fine record compiled by Colonel . t earns of th e past two years, m which time Wilkes won twelve games while losing one and .tying one. While Bloomsburg used a host of fast backs to beat Wilkes, ' St. Francis relied on a smooth-functioning passing attack to roll to five touchdowns, four of them coming in the first half. The Wilkes backs were unable to stpp the touchdown passes of Paul Tomko, . an 18-year-old freshman who threw 'em far and true. The Saints couldn't pick up yardage through the Colonel line, but with Tomko and John McHenry pitching, they didn't have to. • The Colonel backs demonstr-a ted t,hat they could get through the St. .:F'rancis line for go'od gains, but most of the yardage they picked up was nullified by six costly furnbles. Francis Pinkowski, particu:Jarly, got away for several good ·runs_, but on the longest of his jaunts, good for twenty yards, he too f.ailed to hold the ball when hit. St. Francis recovered that one, as well as the other five. The Saints made good use of the opportunities presented them by the backfield miscues, turning most of them into scores. As one Wilkes fan exclaimed in a hurt tone,. "Somebody greased the ball!" few years the Hartwick team has been a successful one, and the Colonels will have to go some to to get that coveted first win of the s.e ason. We got a bit foorhardy last week and attempted to divine the score of the Wilkes-St. Francis game, our guess as to the outcome being: Wilkes 20, St. Francis 6. Needless to relate, we were off considerably. _Apparently it's gos ing to be a hard winter for prognosticators, _so we hereby relegate our crystal ball to the junk heap, and leave the wild-prediction department to hardier souls. Short Shots Leo Castle, whose kicking was off in the Bloomsburg game, fared somewhat better against St. Francis, getting off several long-distance punts ... The hard running of Francis Pinkowski in both the Bloomsburg and St. Francis games has been just about the only bright spot in the Wilkes football pieture so far this season. Despite his lack of bulk, Pinky is a hard~ hitting fullback, and he racked up considerable yardage in the two contests, being· the only back who could really move against St. Francis. . . . The Coo<lnels have b een h ampered considerably by the absence of Florkiewicz and Supinski from the line-up. The two backs provided most of the spark for Wilkes last year ....:..:. Florkiewicz with his running and passing, and Hank with his blasts into the center of the line.

Fortunately, however, that is one of those things which happens now and then and will not likely recur. Ralston was well pleased wi"th the work of his line in the St. Francis game. The Saints, though they couldn't be stopped through the air, could not pierce the Colonel line, which is beginning to play as it (lid the past two years, when Wi~kes opponents had so much trouble going anywhere on the ground. The Wilkes backfield has been hampered considerably by the absence of John Florkiewicz half back. and fullback Hank su'.pinski. Neither had been able to play very much thus far this year because of injuries, but chances are that Sl'lpinski will be in good shape for tomorrow night's contest, with Florkiewicz an outside possibility . p ro b a bl e s t artmg . lineups: Hartw-ick Wilkes Kaminski LE~allagher Lynd LT---Mendershot Bullis LG-Koscinski Cardillo C-Elias Nemlich RG-Lewis Beardsley R'T-Washco Beasley RE-Feeney Longo QB---'Cross Syn!!cl HE-Waters Coilis • HE-Evans Sant Angelo FE-Pinkowski ALUMNI NEWS Cue 'n Curtain Formulates New Working Plans The Cue 'n Curtain held its first meeting of the esmester last Monday night at Chase Theatre. About 60 members, 32 of whom were new, attended the meeting. With the beginning of the fall semester, this group is operating on a ·departmental basis, that is, ten departments have been established through which each individual of the group can contribute his or her talents and also learn the special techniques needed to accomplish the various theatre tasks in order to present more professional productions. The new members signified what departments they would be interested in joining. De,partmental meetings will be held during the coming week where at such time, heads of departments will be elected. Upon completion of the business meeting, refreshments were servetl and music was played for dancing. A cordial welcome is extended to anyone else who would like to join this organization. This can be done by attending the Cue 'n Curtain meeting next Monday evening, Oct. 4, 7:30 p. m. at Chase Theatre. Ocicers of the Club are: Mr. Alfred Groh, Director; Wllliam B.

EDITORIAL On Achieving Maturity We are presently at an historical turning point of transition in ideas, codes, relationships, and delicate balances of group power. These things produce fears, frustrations and confusions that generate conflict rather than cooperative readjustments. We are all in hearty accord with such common goals as mounting standards of living and full employment opportunities. We differ however on the means of attaining these worthy goals ... sometimes quite violently. To be sure, this is an imperfect world-with much injustice and wrong doing, and as it were, we are quite apt under stress and strain to obtain immediate satisfaction by yielding to the prime emotions. We strike back in anger at someon~ who is part of the situation, or retreat into the reassuring approval of our own group. Worse still we unthinkingly denounce and hate anyone who does not behave in terms we w~uld want them to. We don't stop to realize those people are laboring under stresses and strains of daily living quite as much, perhaps more, than ourselves. · It appears then we must develop a capacity to react to our total environment. It is this totality of environment that is the strategic factor amongst the patterns of the stimuli and response that yield characteristically mature behaviour. Very few activities indeed in which we may engage do not involve us in relationships with other people. It is precisely these inter-relationships in which other people are reacting within the same situations of material and cultural forces that form an integral part of the realities to which we must constantly accommodate ourselves. ~he quality of characteristic way in which we make the accommodation marks the degree oi our maturity. An emotionally mature person is one who accepts unpleasant facts, whatever their genesis, as concrete situations to be handled rather than hated. Accordingly the mature person avoids penalizing the developments that are distasteful. i.e., he avoids ascribing responsibility for them to individuals who then can be blamed and fought and punished. It has recently been discovered that any given individual functions at any given time on a few different age levels; chronological. biological. mental, emotional and social. The first three are natural endowments about which there is little we can do. Fortunately. however, each normal individual can by his own conscious effort modify or can be helped to modify, his characteristic modes of response so that he can develop emotional and social maturity ad.equate enough to meet his own responsibilities in sih.j.otions confronting him from day to day. The ·college student in preparing himself for social success and his life career is in the most strategic position for improving not only his intellectual skills, but of achieving the emotional stability necessary for a fruitful life just ahead of him. In this respect he cannot ignore the old injunction "Know Thyself". Only by understanding his own actions as he is spurred by multiple drives, motives, interests, ideas and values can he properly evaluate the actions of others. In contrast to the emotionally mature individual w·e find a discontented and maladjusted element in our political and social life--<md even in our schools and colleges. These individuals masquerade as "liberals".

The youngsters around Pittsburgh played smart heads-up ·football and . the backs 'and linemen tac)ded with collegiate ferocity. One of the better high school elevens in that sector was little _ - ~. They had a great line and a fast, shifty backfield. The star of that "dream" backfield was a rugged 215-pound fulliback w?o co~ld run like a deer, crack a !me with such power that he was compared to the famous Bronco Nagurski, and toss the pigskins 60 yards. This great back was also a star basketball player and, when time permitted, he helped acquire a few points for the golf and track teams. Scouts from every major college in the United States were be.a.ting a steady path to his door, offering him everything from greenbacks to Cadillac convertibles if he would do or die for dear old Siwash. The New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics were only two of the big league clubs after his baseball services. This great scholastic athlete liJed, ate, and slept football. He would dream of the day when he would be playing college football. Every summer he would borrow an old football from his coach and practice kicking and passing whenever he had a ,spare moment. Football was his life. But there was a bigger job to be done. The Japs · had attacked Pearl Harbor. America was betrayed. He wanted to get into the thick of the fighting. Football would now have to wait. He wound up in the Infantry and, after basic training, was ship,p ed to England and then to France. He was in the thick of the D-Day Invasion and later the push into France and Germany. And then he was wounded. Wounded in the back. ·arms and legs. The Army doctors checked over his case, then ca:me the sad news. He would never play sports again. And he might never regain tp.e use of his arms. This great athlete took the news in stride. His dreams of gridiron glory were shattered. After a year in the hospital, he was discharged from the Army. He had regained the use of his arms and through determination and grit, had developed his shoulder muscles to the extent where he could acutally throw a r'ootball. The big schools and major league clubs weren't interested in him now. He was just another war hero. And a badly wounded one at that. He entered a small college in Eastern Pennsylvania, deciding upon engineering as his life's work. But his great love of sports was still in his heart. He continued to exercise his bullet-torn }>ody, hoping aga,inst hope that he might play again. Every weekend, unknown to any- one on the campus, he journeyed to New York City to visit the army specialist, now a civilian doctor, who operated on his arms and back in the service. Together they built up his body. It wasn't the perfect physique he once possessed. He couldn't run as he once had. His shrapnel-torn legs wouldn't cooperate. But he would play football again. He , made the football team at this small school. And the rest of the squad marveleld at his 50 and 60-yard heaves. Last Sept. this great athlete started at fullback for his school against the Army Junior Varsity at West Point. His school didn't win the game, maybe because he suffered a broken leg in the second quarter. But while he was in the game they were a constant threat. Re completed a 45yard pass to nearly score. He has since shifted to Bucknell the long, tedious, painstaking months in the hospital were rewarded. His broken leg healed a,n d in the spring he went out for baseball. It was seven years since he had played the diamond sport but he gave it the old college try. And when the season was over, he had batted in 23 1·uns, hit 6 homers, and swatted the pill for a .359 av'tirage . The fellow they said would never play sports again was playingand for WILKES COLLEGE. He had since shifted to Bucknell University and their gain is our great loss. Perhaps now that the Colonels ·h ave dropped two consecutive football games by large scores, and school spirit is at new ebb, we might think of this Y?~ng m~n who had more school sp1nt acc1dently than most of us have on purpose.

Phone 2-0740 By ED TYBURSKI On the third floor of Chase Hall is a large L-shaped room that once belonged to the men of Wilkes. They had proudly referred to it as their lounge. Today however, a change has been made. The 1 girls now dominate it and just as proudly call it their lounge. This exchange took place last spring. Previously to this exchange, the girls used the second floor of Chase as their favorite resting place. Here they held all of their activities, of wihich serving teas seems to have >been the foremost. In the old days they had to cart the tea and other refreshments from the cafeteriaa most unpleasant task. Now, however, they have the beginnings of a modern kitchenette, which is conveniently located a few steps from the lounge. All th-at is needed to complete the kitchenette is a hotplate. They have everything else on hand, including a spacious closet for storing their china and other equipment. This is the most important improvement, since the lounge is centrally located, and most of the school's social teas are served there. Among the renova:tions the outstanding addition is the new furniture. A complete set was obtained, and has added immensely ._to the beauty and comfort of the lounge.

Questions h\ye been accumulating on our desk for sonie time now, so here goes: 1. What very well-known dance band leader features his own dau~hter in the vocal spotlight? 2. You've heard of "Basin Street" boogie-woo.g ie, barrel-house and the blues, for years now, but could you say j-u st where Basin street ·is? 3. And while we're on the subject, what street would you visit in New York City if you wanted to dig the best in jazz? 4. Is there any difference between a dance band arid a dance orchestra? ' 5. Who is that mad 'chi-chi" girl of the modern jazz set? 6. Judging roughly, would you say there were about ten, fifty , one hundred, or more recognized symphony orchestras in the United States and Canada? 7 1 When a conductor calls for · more volume from the "horn" section, does he point to the English horns, French horns, bass horns, or fog horns? 8. Would you venture to guess just where most of the common cymbals seen in every band are made? 9. Name the following instruments common to the jaz·z band or "combo": "licorice-stick"; "dog house"; "skins"; "slip-horn", or "slush pump"; "plumbing"; and "keys". 10. What popular orchestra leader tried out for opera before turning to popular music? Another band leader was orginally a football coach. Who? Still another couldn't even get in the choral club at college. Any idea? Here's a bonus question: How many of you upper classmen can sing the Wilkes College Alma Mater as well as the freshmen can?

Blake and Macri, whose inspira:tion was resp'onsible for the formatH'.m of the league, will not participate in the action. It seems that they have decided to limit themselves to behind-thescenes masterminding. Short Shots Coach George Ralston is having a tough time this season getting enough backs on the field to play a game, No less than five Wilkes backs Florkiewicz, Supinski, Waters, Paul Thomas, and Johnny DeRemer - are ei-ther on the inactive list or are not at their best because of injuries.

K,ing's plays Bloomsburg S T C (ouch) tomorrow nig ht at Bloomsburg. . . . Jack Feeney, who kicked most of the Wilkes extra points last year, must have been restless throughout the first two Wilkes games of the current campaign. Since the Colonels were un~ble to score in those games, Jack · did no 'converting. However, against Hartwick Wilkes p u t across two touchdowns and Feeney gleefully kicked the two extra points. - After the dark days of two trouncings by Bloomsburg STC and St. Francis College, the Wilkes College, the Wilkes College gridders finally saw 'the light of victory Saturday night at Neawha Park Stadium, Oneonta, New York, where they defeated the Hartwick College team by a 14-6 count. The Wilkes fumbles were not quite so numerous as they were in the St. Francis enc·o unter, and the Colonel pass defense, non-existent against St. Francis, functioned at Oneonta, all adding up to the first 1948 victory for the Ralstonmen. The Blue Warriors must have had a few spies at the Wilkes-St. Francis game who relayed to Coach M. Beal Banks the news about the obvious shortcomings 'in the Wilkes pass defense, for Banks had his passers fill the stadium with no less than 18 aerials. This time, however, the Wilkes defenders were on the alert, foiling all but five of the 18 passes Hartwick attempted. One of the five was good for Hartwick's only score. The Wilkes line, as always, was thoroughly efficient in its custom_ary hard-hitting manner, leading the way for the Colonel backs all night, and stopping the Hartwick backs cold when they attempted to gain on the ground. The Wilkes forward wall, in fact, did its job ,so well that it was not necessary ior the backs to go through the air for their yardage. Only four "Wilkes passes were thrown; one ·was completed. Halfback Leo Castle, who had .a hard time getting started in the ~first tw.o galfles this season, came j nto' hi-s own against Hartwick.

In that game Wilkes had the better of it until the Doylestown team pulled a sleeper play that was good for a touchdown·; tying the game at 6all. That was the way the game ended, being one of the only two blemishes on the Wilkes record last season. Prior to this year the Doylestown institution was a junior college, and for that reason was not too anxious to face the Wilkes team on the gridiron. This year, however, when the school became a four-year institution, an attempt was made to arrange a game between the two schools.

Coach Rais.ton is anticipating a har,d -fought contest, especially since he learned that the National Agricultural College won a game last week by a 3·9-0 score. The team opemtes from a single wing forinsi.tion, viarying i:t occasionally with a T formation. Ralston spent most of the past week drilling his team on its pass defense, so weak against Srt. Francis College, and which yielded one touchdown to Hartwick. There's not much drilling a team can do in an effort to break the fumbling habit, but, luckily, that seems to be on the decline. It is U111likely that Ralston's chief "cripples," Hank Supinski and John Florkiewicz, will be able to start in the Wilkes backfield tomorrow \ afternoon. The starting b~ackfield probably will consist of Cross, W , aters, Evans and Pinkowski.

The crowd of co-eds parading over the bridge these afternoons isn't practising for long · distance walking, for the girls are on their way to Kirby Park. Thi~ semester Wilkes Women have 'a new physical education instructor, Miss Raby, who has finally managed to incorporate field hockey into the curriculum. A section of Kirby Park has been measured off and lined for a playing field. New equipment has been purchased and the girls are enthusiastically learning the rules and reg ulations of the game. Miss Raby comes to our campus from the Germantown Y. M. C. A. where she taught physical education for six years. She is a graduate of Temple Uni-versity. Miss Raby is encouraged by the girls eager response and feels that they are making rapid progress. She has promised that if enou~h girls are interested, inter-class . games can be arranged. Since she has coached ¥arsity hockey, she WO'llld be qualified to form and coach a varsity squad at Wilkes to play i-nter-colleg,iate teams of neighboring colleges. proved Wilkes pass defense, whiyh limited Hartwick to · five completions out of 18 attempts.

Wallace seems to be running a high political fever -just as are a number of other citizens along about this season of the year. Well, we are all engaged in doing a little politicking our. selves from time to .time i.e., persuading others to our point of view. And if Mr. Wallace should attempt the same-that is his privilege, so long as it remains on the level of peaceful and legitimate persuasion. There are, unfortunately, other means of gaining the same end---as surely any thinking adult must be aware. Now there are many who disagree with Mr. Wallace's viewpoints on many things, and have expressed their feelings in a ,variety of ways ... some not too complimentary. · There is no doubt that Mr. Wallace is a sincere American expounding his honest convictions, and as such he should be permitted to have his say-unmolested. The electorate in this free country is under no compulsion to vote one way or another. We may listen to a candidate or we may not. We may vote for, him or we may not. Therefore, we should conduct ourselves as citizens worthy of that high honor. College students traditionally\ have been wont to wax enthusiastically for or against political issues and personalities, and it is therefore quite important that the students of this institution on October 20, when Mr. Wallace speaks at Kingston Armory, express their good sportsmanship by refraining from any demonstrations that could be classed as un-American. Let's set an honest example, of practising what we preach. Edward Jan Wasilewski On Borrowed Lines By RUSS WILLIAMS Al Spivak rem1mscing in his "Zot Hoot" column, which appears in the Temple University News, recalls the following frosh poem: • My <link and I are just like that, I'm never seen without the hat, And yet, despite wnat others think, i'd rather wear the k.i tchen sink Than wear my little freshman <link. * * * This joke, which must have been referring to one of the larger' lecture classes, appeared in the "Off the Cuff" column in the Drake Times-Delphic. First Coed: "Why didn't you find out who he was when the professor called the roll ? " Second Coed: "I tried to, but he answered for four different names."' * * * Bob Gittins, of Drake University, defines a student council as "a body of students surrounded by faculty." Jim Sahl of the same university says "a univeTsity is a college with a stadium seating over twenty thousand." The dance promoters at the University of Buffalo and Duquesne University have coined some new names for their big events. The engineers at the former university presented "The"' Slide Rule Slide" * * • and the Journalism Association at Duquesne held a "Harvest Shmoon Clyde Steele, photographer for Ball." The Parthenon at Marshall College, * * * has this to .say about his subjects: "Sullivan Suggestions", a column "Very few men look like Robert in the Temple University News dealing with "books of interest to Taylor, and even fewer women look students", lists a book which might like Lana Turner; but a good many be recommended to the new mem- persons seem to thi11k their photobers of the student council. The graph should resern.ble these stars." title, So You Were Elected! by Vir- Clyde says he loses his patience when he is expected to change hairginia Bailard, does and, reduce waist-lines. * * * The past week found the lounge to ·be the center of much concentration. Between the A. M. sessions of class, the boys could be identified only hy the covers of the books which encircled their faces as they studied intensely for the initial tests of the semester. Only the turning of pages or the cribbling of pens and pencils could be heard while the usual bangs and bumps of pool balls were noticeably absent . .Between the P. M. class sessions, however, the urge for solitude was powerfully overshadowed by the sporting tendencies of our members as they huddled together to listen to the slants of Mel Allen and Jim Britt and the description of the World's Series of 1948 ... .During one of these descriptions, a Wilkes ,p rofessor entered our premises and could not help noticing the encircled mass. His remarks against the gathering drew the unanimous assumption that dice, and not the aging battery radio, was the cause of the gathering. This, sir, is a false assumption and interpretation of the integrity of the lounge members . We are sportsmen but confine our interests out side of gambling. A note of interest pertaining to the seeries found amid the lounge members Des!!lite the sad set of papooses that Cleveland sent to Wilkes-Barre this year, Walt Hendershot seemed to be the only real threat of resentment to be found. Maybe we should classify the local Cleveland rooters as "Indian Braves" with the Indians, of course, predominant. * * * Tuesday, October 12th, was designated "E" day in reference to the 11tudent council election. Not only did it bring new members to the council, but it also created a new and unique method of advertising, Headlines such as "Do You Know Marty Blake" and . "Did You Get An A in World Lit' Last Semester" confronted the students as they moved from class · to 'class. Lists of candidates followed the headline. W'e do not believe that such absurdities as the· two previously mentioned adhere to good advertising principles. We will admit, however, that the uniqueness of both lines did draw attention. Attention veterans and non-veterans! ! Anyone wishing information concerning Reserve forces, please contact Harry Black, the Nav~l Reserve's only sergeant. Harry, at one time, was a regular attendant at the meetings, but his a·bsence of late can be accredited to the enactment of an I. D. card system in which he played a vital role.. From Pinky Pinkowski comes this tale: He and Jack Vale did not attend Masses last summer and so have not received su:bsistance checks as yet this semester. They will probably have to wait until the first of November for such payments. This lack of funds was the chief topic of cqnversation as Jack and Pinky ambled down South Main Street last week. Interrupting their gripes, a beggar walked up to Jack and pleaded, "Say Bud, you got a dime for a cup of coffee?" ",Gee, Mac, I haven't," replied Vale, but don't worry a,bout me. I'll get along 'till the first of the month somehow." . A science professor asked one of our more brilliant freshmen this question. What happens when a body is immersed in water? Typical of freshmen intelligence came this answer: "Sure. prof, the telephone rings." We -feel sure that the Letterman's Court of Honor will see to it that justice prevails in the case of this· character. ....'Don't marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper .

"Include Milk in Your Daily Lunch" CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS * 20 North State St. Phone 3-3151 �4 Friday, October 15, 1948 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON ~PORT ~HOTS By GARFIELD DAVIS Beacon Sports Editor WILKES WINS SECOND Things are looking up. The Wilkes College football team is looking more and more like the ~ilke_s teams of old. After dropPlng its first two games this year by scores which were anything but close, the Colonels began clicking uwo weeks ago at Oneonta, N. Y., against Hartwick College, winning the game, 14-6. Last Saturday, at Doylestown, Pa., .the team improved on that performance, taking its second victory of the season on a 28-13 win over the National Agricultural College eleven. The game was highlighted by some sparkling runs by the Wilkes backs, who, prior to this game, had not been performing this season with their customary efficiency. However, against the Aggies 't he backs turned in an interesting perform_a nce, featuring a 60-yard run by Leo Castle that was good for Wilkes' ,t hird touchdown. Castle also had another good day in the kicking department, getting the best of the punting exchanges which took place whenever the teams weren't busy scoring touchdowns. Francis Pinkowski and Bob Wat. ers also showed plenty of power and speed when carrying the ball. Pinky scored what would have been the first touchdown of the game if it had not been called back because of Wilkes clipping. Nothing daunt-ed by that turn of events, he went over for two that counted later in the game. Both scores came on plunges from the 4-yard line. Pinkowski set one of them up when he intercepted an Aggie ,p ass and carTied it to the farmers' 30-yard line. Bob Waters, who had· been hampered by an injury received in the Bloomsburg game, performed like the Waters of old against the Aggies. "Poqp" shook himself loose on a 27-yard sprint that preceded Castle's 60-yard excursion in the third quarter, and he set the stage for another score when he snared a Leo Castle pass. . It almost goes without saying t hat the Wilkes line played excellent football. It limited the Aggjes to four first downs, and at one point in the game, after the Aggies · had .tried to penetrate the Wilkes line for three downs, they found that it was fourth down and 16 yards to go for a first down, which provides a pretty good example of the kind of a ball game the Wilkes linemen were playing. M.AN:SFIELD NEXT WEEK Next Saturday afternoon might well be a pretty rough one for the Wilkes footballers and fans, for on that day the Colonels take on Mansfieeld . State Teachers College, at Mansfield. The embryo teachers feature a line-up that is composed almost exclusively ·of players from Wyoming Valley, and a former G. A. R. High School football coach Ted Casey. · ' Most of the linemen are from Wilkes-Barre, and most of them are big, The backfield is loaded with capable footballers, notably Nello Burian, Joe Cunningham Ed Netski, Bill ' Conwell, Jerry M~Eneny and Francis Bradshaw, all of Wilkes-Barre, and Tony Amendola Hanover Township. The team lost a valuable performer when end Joe Harrington went out of action with an injured leg, but still has three outstanding wingmen in Ed .Johnson, Joe W.alsh and Francis Bromfield. Walsh, from Plains, won recognition in 1946 as one of the best ends in the state. Mansfield recently played a hardfought game with Bloomsburg State Teachers College, losing by a 7-0 score. The team showed its power, however, two weeks ago against Indiana State Teacher's College, winning the gaipe, 27-0. WILKES FORTUNATE WITH KICKERS One thing that can never be taken from the Colonels is that they never fail to come up with several good kickers each year, both punters and extra-point specialists. Last year Bill Johns doubled as a burly fullba-ck and punter extraordinary, and the year before Ed Nattras took care of the extra-point department, missing very few of his tries. John consistently got off kicks that went 60 yards or more, and he was amazingly efficient at coffin-corner kicking, often booting the ball out of bounds inside the opposing team's five-yard line. This year, with Johns gone, Leo Castle has taken over as punter, and after a slow start, is getting plenty of distance on his boots. End Jack Feeney took over Nattras' job of kicking extra points, and so far has a record of six out of six, not bad in any league. A few more successful boots and Jack will doubtless be known as Automatic Jack Feeney. Wilkes Ploughs r.:=====THE Farmers. 28-13 Sporting World I By BILL APFELBAUM The Wilkes College football team won its second game of the current season at Doylestown, Pa., Saturday afternoon, beating the National Agricultural College team, 28-13. The WiJkes offensive, which came to life the week before against Hartwick College, also clicked in this game, the Colonels scoring on the second play of the game from scrimmage. Jack Feeney kic~ed ·off to get the game underway, and when the Aggie ball carrier fumbled, George Lewis recovered for Wilkes on the Aggie 25. Runs -b y Castle and Pinkowski pushed over the touchdown, but it was called back because of Wilkes clipping. The 15-yard penalty put the ball on the Aggie 19yard line. At this point Leo Castle hit the line for four yards then passed to Jack Feeney in t he end zone for the first touchdown. Feeney kicked the extra point. Francis Pinkowski scored the second Wilkes touchdown in the second period on a line buck from the four -yard line. The Aggies scored their first touchdown in this period when one of their backs broke loose on a 25-yard run. Leo Castle, who turned in a sen sational 79-yard r un against Hart wick last week, got loose in the third quarter and dashed 60 yards for the third Colonel touchdown As in the Hartwick game, the long run was made possible by the exceHent blocking Leo received from his mates; no Aggie tackler came even close to Leo on his long-di stance jaunt. Notable in the game was the ex cellent play of th e sturdy Wilkes line, which played excellent football, end to end. Guard George Lewis did double duty in helping the line break up the Aggie plays and r ecovering Aggie furn bles as well. Lewi s made his second recovery in the final period on the Aggie 48. The Wilkes running attack went into action and moved the ball to the Aggie four-yard line. Pinkowski hit the line for the final Wilkes touchdown. Jack Feeney kicked the extra point, his fourth of the after. noon, giving him a record of sixfor-six for the season. SHORT SHO'tS A game which should h old incidental interest for Wilkes football fans takes place tomorrow when King's College opposes Lycoming College. It will be interesting to see how well the King's team does against Lycoming. So far this season King's has a: one-and-one record, having lost to Bloomsburg STC, 26-0, and beating Wyoming Seminary, 13-0. Wilkes m eets Lycom ing October 30 and plays Kirig's November 19 John Florkiewicz, Hank Supinski and John DeRemer, Wilkes backs who have been on the injured list, will probably be ready to go against Mansfield next.

Let's Look At The Record: In , last week's BEACON, Joe Pinola and Ed Permowitz, · who write LOUNGE AROUND took exception to this reporter's use of the adjective "pitiful" to .describe the 1948 edition of the Philadelphia A's. In the fir st place, in 194:7 the A's did not firiish in the cellar as reported, but in fifth · place; so climbing up t he ladder to fourth place wasn't such an amazing feat. Secondly, as for the A's being a bunch of National League castoffs, (Majeski, Joost, and Franks) no one will deny, but is t hat anything to be ,p roud of? The statement that Connie Mack is "Mr. Baseball" is open to debate. Just what has Mac,k done for baseball ? He started out in baseball as a catcher and wound up as an owner .. I would say that baseball has done more for hi411 · than vice versa. Did Mr. Mack ever do anything for the Philadelphia fans? Again the answer is "no!" He sold every good ALUMNI NEWS RALPH G.

('.I' for, Terrific) Dyback, an attraction featuring Marty (serutan yob) Blake, with a guest artist, Sandy Menta, and a number by Arvilla Travis. It has been reported from a relialble source that Joan Walsh will do her hair-raising act. Nick Dyback will present, as an added at. traction, that unforgett3ble and heart-warming ballad "The Murder of Dan McGrew." In addition, many entertainment surprises will be on the agenda that evening. . The refreshment committee has promised to present' enough appetizing food so that no one will go away from the ,dance hungry. The committee also announced that there will be a variety of beverages offered at the dance. Ted Wolfe, editor of the Beacon, grasped the idea for the dance some time ago, and since that time has been working constantly on the plans. Just recently, the completion of the pl11ns was made, -and the realization of the idea became evident. Marty Blake was named general chairman of the committees. Chairman Blake has asserted that there will be more music, more !)ntertainment, more dancing, more refreshments, and more of everything in this event than in any other activity on the Wilkes campus before or after the 30th of October, 1948. The committees for the <lance are as follows: Refreshment committee, Don Lennon, Romayne Gromelski and Bob Sanders; House and decorations committee, Ed Tyb11rski, Pris_cUla Swartwood and Russ Williams; Entertainment committee, Marty Blake, Bill Griffith 'and Vince Macri.

This group of twelve fine musicians has already made two appearan.ces this year at Wilkes sport hops and are to be the featured · artists at Genetti's Nite Club, Hazleton every Saturday night beginning November 13. Using original arrangements by the leader and featuring a smooth semi-sweet style the band has made rapid strides in improvement, and this year is slated to be one of Wyoming Valley's leading dance aggregatio ns. The 1948 edition ·of the band boasts three trumpe ts, trombo.rie, four tenor, alto, and baritone sax men who double on clarinet, bass, drums, and piano. Featured with the orchestra are two fine vocalists. Paul Shiffer, who plays tenor-baritone in the band, has done remarkably well in appearances so far and can be counted on for -consistently good work. His voice is a pleasant baritone and his enunciation is good. Sybil Ichter, who handled the female 19cals last year is again with / the orchestra. In addition to these soloists the orchestra boasts a fine chorus, which those who attend the function will hear on such novelties as "Last Nite On The Back Porch" and "Hair of Gold." Featured instrumentalists include Sammy Reese, who will be featured on the alto sax in Ray Noble's sensational "Harl!!m Nocturne," Carl Messinger who hand~s the tenor solos, Leon Gilbert on trombone, and Bob Levine on trumpet. This year's addition to the brass section has greatly improved the depth of that section, and the intonation of the entire band has been greatly smoothedout. Many musical surprises are promised to those who enjoy both dancing ,and musical entertainment. The new theme, "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" is designed to mean the best of dance music. ROBERT GREEN Noted Psycholo'ist To Speak At Next Assembly Pcrograrh. ~ , ·'RicE . . 13y..... AtfT Robert Green. Execµtive Director of the Institute of Contemporary Ads at Washington, D. C,, will be the speaker at asl:!embly next Tuesday, October 26. His . topic, "The Psychology of Motivation," shows that Mr. Green is a psychologist. His vocational experiences range from prison psychologist at Jackson Prison, Michigan, to counselor to juvenile delinquents. After completing his preparatory education in New York, Mr. Green studied at Harvard. As a special student he won the Gideon A ward for graduate studies and continued his education at the University of Michigan. Later. at that University, he taught criminology, juvenile delinquency, social psychology, and the phychology of the modern novel and play , He wrote his master's thesis after doing research on child phychology in a summer camp for maladju!!ted children. During the peace-time draft, Mr. Green worked with Dr. William Derbyshire of Harper Hosp.ital, Detroit, to evaluate the eligibility for s~rvice of men with head i-n juries or a history of fainting. This was d·one with the aid of electroencephlography, which measures brain waves. While America was at war, recently, Mr. Green served in several ca:(!)Rcities in the Army Air Force. He set up an academic training program for illiterate soldiers and established a consultation service to aid servicemen with psychiatric problems. In addition, Mr. Green lectured to servicemen on problems of psychological adjustment and he organized Group Psycho-Therapy in a number of Army hospitals. Upon leaving the Army he was given a meritorious award for excellent service as a psychological consultant and le~tvrer. It is evident that Mr. Green believes in practical experience, for he accqmplished most of his ,'<raduate . work on field work assignments. Mr. Green had be.en scheiuled to speak at a previous assembly program but was unable to appear at that time. Wilkes College Lettermen held their annual election of · officers at a meeting and smoker held last Monday evening in Chase 1 Hall. The following people were elected to offices in the letter winners organization: President, Bob Waters; Vice President, Alex Molash; Secretary,~ Tom Moran; Treasurer, Chester Knapich. Gerrard Washco and John Florkieiwcz. were elected to the Executive Committee. ' Bob Waters, 'who has . been . a member of the club since its inception in February of 1947, is well known for his footba}l and baseball accomplishments. In 1946, Bob was co-captain of the first Wilkes College football team. That was the year in which Wilkes had its first undefeated season. Waters will be remembered as the boy who was responsible for the two defeats that King's College has suffered at the hands of the Colonels. Bob also played in center field on the 1947 baseball team. After the election of officers last Monday, a .business meeting under the guidance of the new officers was held. · Plans for this year's Christmas Dance were discussed . One of the points raised was the question of whether or not this dance should be strictly formal, or as in past years, a semi-formal affair. It was decided to take a poll of the students to find out whether or not the students themselves want a formal or semi-formal.· The coming Wilkes-King's game will have an added feature when the Wilkes Lettermen will chance off five turkeys at the halftime. Further plans will be /1.iscussed at a meeting to be held in Chase Hall Lounge this coming Monday evening at 7:30. ,All members of the club are requested to attend. NOTICE! Correction, Please In last week's Beacon, the title of one article was · "Girls Refurbish Chase Penthouse." Some readers thought the word should have been "refurnish." However, "refurbish" was correct, since, according to Webster; it means "to renovate." Frank Anderson and Donald Rau, gears of the present yearbook staff who have done so much inspiring work •in the past, are co-planners for the occasion, and gave impetus to the idea after realizing that Wilkes coeds needed some recognition for their beauty other than through the usual hum-drum business of "queen-pickings." Twenty girls from the Wilkes campus are to be chosen as semifinalists and notified by the yearbook illstaff, who will act as the board of judges. Cards bearing the names of these finalists will be mailed to all students, who will check one name on the card and drop the card in a ballot box located at a convenient· spot on the campus. The ten girls receiving the most votes will be the finalists. From this group not one, but seven girls will be na_m ed the .pi::ettiel}t . Wilkes coeds.· The names of the final seven beauties will not be re, vealed until the June '49 edition of the "Amnicola." In that issue of the yearbook, a full-page. picture of each of the seven will appear. The pictures of the ten finalists will be taken by a professional photographer from New York city, and the final seven will appear in a special section of the yeabrook. The board of judges will select the seven contest winners. However, the pictures of all twenty contestants will appear in the yearbook, though only the seven winners will be given full-page pictures. Ballot-postcards will be sent to the students next week, and voting will take place on Wednesday, November 17. The entire undertaking promises to be a novel and interesting- affair, and it is requested that all students give it their whole-hearted supporl. Tl\e board of judges is comprise.d of students who are very wellknown and respected about the campus. Hon!)sty and fair play in selecting finalists and winners have been guaranteed, and the possibili- . ties of all contestants will be carefully and thoroughly studied. To prevent "stuffing" of the ballot box, all cards will bear a number designatin1; Jne person cniy,' ths! one who is su;1,a1itting th,i Yote. ·Choral Club To Plan Yule Show A recent meeting of the Choral Club was held for the election of officers.

EDITORIAL The Departmentalized Mind We've all met him at one time or another. The individual with the limited perspective on the whole of life. These individual~ seem to feel that the only things or events of importance in the world revolve about their own person, or their own interests. Granted that we all possess a great deal of self interest, and tend to stress the importance of our personal sentiments; but some individuals persist in playing up their own . • . at the expense of their fellows, be they workers, student~ or professional people. The unlucky victim of thes~ marathon talkers is subjected to untold misery as he or she listens ta. just what is wrong with this sick old world. And the grand design for sav_ing it from inexorable doom; their own pet aches and pains; that all politi• cians are crooks; frustrated plans ad infinitum. The narrower the mind, it appears, the broader the statement. And these are not the only offenders. There is another type which is quite prevelant. That is the serious minded personthe kind that is utterly lacking a sense of humor. They-go about life with a diligence that is unnatural, and exp:r;ess themselves in the most solemn tones. Finally there are those who not belonging to the above mentioned types become so engrossed in their interests or their work, that they acquire a very similiar attitude. They become departmen!alized, so .to speak, in their outlook on life. Instead of integra:ing their personal interests with the rest of life in a sound workable balance, they are wont to interpret life tbrough part of the whole ... rather than the whole itself. Now the people who most frequently adopt such a limited ·perspective seem to be scientists-and you guessed it-professors. Scientists are continually bewildered by the versatile use of their discoveries. They themselves, it seems, almost naively go about laboring for the betterment of mankind whereas their inventions are utilized in a sense which they coulcl have barely imagined. Many have died of broken hearts as they witnessed the perversion of their honest inventions. As for professors, if the student be allowed to unburden a legitimate gripe, no doubt the most oft-mentioned would be that of short-sighted professors. Those who have come to think the subject they are teaching is by far the most important in life, while all the others have been secondary, or .e ven pale into insign·ficance. These same professors usually sacrifice quality for quantity in the work _they require. This not to disparage these professors. Tlley are counted among the best-and the most esteemed. But they become so absorbed in their subject, that they either lose sight of, or the importance of, integrating their own teachings with life in general. Modem life in all its complexity, . and increasing interdependence of individuals upon each other, is demanding a mentally adaptive type of personality rather than the specialized individual of yesteryear.

This comes after 4-0 years of attempt; The state of Israel exists in Palestine because the 800,000 Jewish citizens there have the armed force necessary for its maintenance. That the state of Israel exists has been recognized by 17 sove;reign nations of the world including the United States. It was admitted, as well, by Count Folke Bernadotte in his Palestine proposal to the United States. Assuming this to· be true, assuming that Israel is a state, it is fitting that -the world begins to think of Israel as a soverign nation. By reason of its existence a s a state and nation, Israel is sovereign. Let us now examine the recertt Bernadotte Proposal ·in that light. Count Folke Bernadotte had one of the most noteworthy records among contemporary statesmen in working positively for peace. He devote<l much of his life to the task. And he accomplished some concrete things. Among them was the negotiation of the German surrender to Russia, England, France and the United States in 1945. On the basis of his record he was chosen United Nations medi ator for Palestine. Let us turn to a consideration of his proposals: The Bernadotte proposals are, in the main, these: (1) That the Negeb Desert be· ceded to the Arabs; that Israel get Western Galilee. (2) That the city of Jerusalem be placed under international control. (3) That the port of Haifa be made a free city.

Colonels, 7-7 Record; Plans Active Semester 1 By BILL APFELBA UM The Wilkes College Colonels played a tie game with the Mountaineers from Mansfield last Saturday afternoon at Mansfield, the game ending in a 7-7 score. Wilkes led by John Florkiewicz, crossed the Mansfield goal line in four minutes of the first quarter, then limited the Mansfield team to one touchdown to earn the tie. Wilkes kicked off to the Mansfield team, and when the Mountaineers got nowhere Wilkes took over on its own 40-yard line. With Florkiewicz, Pinkowski and Waters carrying, the Colonels rolled to the Mansfield 4 on ten ground plays. From that point Florkie·vicz went through center for the "ore. Jack Feeney kicked the exa point. A sensational Burian-to-Dokas 1ss that was good for 67 yards 1ve Mansfield its score in the cond quarter. Leo Castle had .. ,.::ked out on the Mansfield 22. Burian carried for eleven yards for a first down on the Mansfield 33, then tossed a long pass to Pete Dokas, of Hanover Township. The pass, thrown by Burian · from the Mansfield 25, went 45 yards through the air, • Dokas •catching it on the Wilkes 30. He caught it over his ' shoulder and went on to score. Tackle Tony · Dombroski kicked the extra point. The p~sing attacks· of both teams were hampered ·considerably in the second half because of the steady downpour of rain. On the last play of the game Jack Feeney attempted to kick a field goal .from the Mansfield 30-yard line, but the kick was short of the mark. Wilkes rolled up 10 first downs to Mansfield's eight, and gained a total of 165 yards, compared to Mansfield's 186. The Colonels completed three passes out of eight attempts, while Mansfield tossed seven and made good on four of them.

This rate includes round trip transportation, transfers, hotel bills, city tours, Morro Castle tour, night tour and country tour. It does not, however, include the cost of meals. An English speaking guide wrn accompany the party on visits to many outstanding spots in Havana. The travelers will see the OUR LADY OF MERCY CHURCH, the site where the U. S. S. MAINE was sunk, La Plamt de Armas, where Havana was founded in 1519. The night trip consists of visits to open air sidewalk cafes, the slums, and Chinatown. This trip lasts five hours and is the longest. The visit to Morro Castle is one of the high spots of the tourist's travels. The visitors will be shown the differei;it dungeons and cells which were used when Morro Castle was still a military prison. Today it is used as a school for cadets. After seeing the modern sections of the city, the group will make a .c ountry tour where they will have the opportunity to see · rural Cuba. One of the last stops will be at an experimental farm .to se how various plants and fruits are raised. Cuba (continued on page 2) Featured at the Cabaret Party tonight will be the only college dance band in this region comprised of students from any one college. The Reese Pelton Orchestra, known also as the "Collegians", is a twelve-piece orchestra that has recently jumped to a high standing among local dance bands. From an organizi:lltion of students who made possible the first sport dances at this institution in 1945 the group has emerged as a full-scale dance band with a complete schedure of Wilkes and outside dances. At present the band is preparing to open for a threemonth season at Genetti's Nite Club, Hazleton. Also on the docket are a great many high school proms and sport affairs. · At . present the band is concentrating on clear.1cut ballads in a semi-sweet style and a variety of novel and unusual fast tunes. A la11ge number of the orchestra's arrangements are penned by the leader. Tonight, those in attendance will hear music typical of the outfit's best. Paul Shiffer, baritone sax man, will be featured as vocalist. Paul's ri-ch full baritone voice has' been acclaimed wherever the band has appeared. He is truly one of the valley's leading male singers. Sybil Ichter will again hold the female vocal spot. When the four reed, four bass , and three rhythm give forth with "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" · at 9 tonight, Wilkes' greatest Cabaret Party will be well underway. Further arrangements for the· proposed five-school joint meeting of the IRC were made at the regular IRiC meeting last Friday evening. Secretary Toni Menegus was instructed to wi;ite to International Relati-ons Clubs of King's Colleg_e, Marywood College, University of Scranton,·. and College Misericordia, requesting each school to send a represe;tative to Wilkes College on November 12. The date and top:ic for discussion of the joint meeting will be di sc~ssed at that time. An IRC delegation from King's Oollege had previously approved of the tentative meeting. Preceding the business discussion on Friday evening, Narcy Perkowski, ·member of the executive co~mittee, reported on the ICG Convention of next April. George Maisel submitted the treasurer's report that the College would pay the reg-i stration fee, and room and board for five Wilke College delegates to the Intercolle~ giate Conference on World Problems. No program was planned for this evening's meeting; therefore only a business session is scheduled. NOTICE! Any Sophomore engineerihg student who is interested in forming an engineering society is asked to see either James Morrash or Moses ·s lrotkin as soon as possible. By CHET MOLLY From all present indications, the outstanding social event of the year at Wilkes College will be the Beacon Cabaret Party and Dance being held tonight. Undoubtedly, if all the people holding reservations manage to get there, St. Stephen's Hall will be crowded to capacity. Marty Blake, who is in charge of the entertainment program, . has amassed a large amount of jokes, skits, and zany songs that should bring down the house. THE MURDER OF DAN McGREW, THE SYMPHONLC FIDDLER, the recitation of a few choice poems, and a couple of character portrayals are the main ingredients. Combirie these with the originality that emanates from Marty Blake, and from the entertainment angle alone the caoaret party and aance · should prove to be a howling success. The musical program of all Wilkes social activities has always been outstanding because of the fine orchestration of 'Reese Pelton's band. TheFe will be the usual amount of dreamy music for "the young in love", and enough 'Be~p' music to keep the hepcats satisfied and happy. 1 The affair will begin at nine o'clock, continuing through until midnight. The admission, of course, is free. The only requirements are the spirits of joviality and goodfellowship . It will be a memorable event on the Wilkes College calendar of · social successes. Get there early, and come prepared for a wonderful evening. WEDNESDAY TO BE VOTING DA.Y Spanish Club Mask FOR 'MISS PHOTOGENIC' RACE Party Successful The Spanish Club held a masque20 GIRLS FINALISTS IN YEARBOOK-SPONSORED BEAUTY rade party last Friday night at CONTEST 8 :30 in Chase Theatre. .B y BOB SANDERS The young co-eds and cute chickens of Wilkes College have been thrown into competition and confusion in preparation for the Amnicola Beauty Contest. Twenty females have been selected to run for this honor of honors. The main purpose of the contest is to choose the seven most photogenic girls of Wilkes College. Post catds will be sent to each member of the student body. The student body' will vote for one and will return these post cards to the Amnicola staff, who will select the ten receiving the most votes. From these ten, seven will be chosen by the Amnicola staff. Each of the seven will have an individual picture, a full page in length, in the 1948 edition of the yearbook. The winners will receive the title "The Miss Photogenic of 1948." Ou,r college beauty department has to be built up and the Amnicola staff has instituted a cor:.test which is the first of its kind but may some day become a tradition at Wilkes. The photographs of the twenty selected girls have been placed on the bulletin board at Chase Hall. These photographs are not the ones to be used in the final contest, but are only recognition photos for all to see. Those contending for top honors are well known and well chosen coeds. Among them are Doris Gorka, Wyoming Valley Career Girl con~ test winner, and Janet Gearhart, a career girl finalist. Peggy Woolcock, last year's Cinderella Queen, is also in the running. Here is a list of the contestants: Doris Gorka, Marianne Tomasetti, Beryl Colwell; Marie Stamer, Eleanor Vispi, Marita Sheridan, Nancy Yaufman; Pat Boyd, May Way, Norma Persiani, Scotty Rutherford, Janet Gearhart Frankie Markowitz, Toni Menegus, Elaine Turner, Audrey Seaman, Gwen Clifford, Marion Weltman, Peggy Marty Blake, president of the club, was acting host to more than fifty couples who came for fun, food and frolic. The evening's fun really began at 9:30 when all the couples arrived from the early show. The dance music was slow and sweet with a fast number now and then. Marty Blake added an extra bit of zip to the party when he tried to give instructions in the art of the rhumba. (Note: anyone wishing to take rhumba lessons can contact Marty Blake at Boyle. and Dunn's anytime after 7, Monday through Saturday nights.) The refreshment committee served cokes, cookies and chips as a climax to a delightful evening. Woolcock and Doris Gauger. All votes will be taken next Wednesday, but the seven winners will not be revealed until the year book is published in June. �2 WILKES 'COLLEGE BEACON . able to adapt and train themselves to m~t the new nequirements and qualifications.

EDITORIAL The Departmentalized Mind We've all met him at one time or another. The individual with the limited perspective on the whole of life. These individuals seem to feel that the only things or events of importance in the world revolve about their own person, or their own interests.

The unl~cky victim of these marathon talkers is subjected to untold misery as he or she listens t0. just what is wrong with this sick old world. And the grand design for sav_ing it from inexorable doom; their own pet aches and pains: that all politicians are crooks; frustrated plans ad infinitum. The narrower the mind, it appears, the broader the statement. And these are not the only offenders. There is another type which is quite prevelant. That is the serious minded personthe kind that is utterly lacking a sense of humor. They go about life with a diligence that is unnatural, and exp:r;ess themselves in the most solemn tones. Finally there are those who not belonging to the above mentioned types become so engrossed in their interests or their work, that they acquire a very similiar attitude. They become departmentalized, so .to speak, in their outlook on life. Instead of integra:ing their personal interests with the rest of life in a sound workable balance, they are wont to interpret life through part of the whole ... rather than the ·whole itself.

This comes after 4-0 years of attempt: The state of Israel exists in Palestine because the 800,000 Jewish citizens there have the armed force necessary for its maintenance. That the state of Israel exists has been recognized by 17 sove,reign nations of the world including the United States. lt was admitted, as well, by Count Folke Bernadotte in his Palestine proposal to the United States. Assuming this to· be true, assuming that Israel is a state, it is fitting that the world begins to think of Israel as a soverign nation. By reason of its existence as a state and nation, Israel is sovereign. Let us now examine the recent Bernadotte Proposal in that light. Count Folke ' Bernadotte had one of the most noteworthy records among contemporary statesmen in working positively for peace. He devoted much of his life to the task. And he accomplished some concrete things. Among them was the negotiation of the German surrender to Russia, England, France and the United States in 1945.

The action opened immediately. Nothing was included that was unnecessary (at least what he thought was unnecessary). All of the action was immediate, blunt, and to the point. As a result, one had to interpret as well as read his plays, for much was left unexplained. The painstaking work and research that has been undertaken to interpret his plays are proof of this.

An inkling of what was to come was given by the group of cheerleaders who were sitting in Chase Lounge for about 20 minutes before the meeting was called to order by president Tony Zabiegalski. , Secretary Ed Tyburski read the minutes of the previous meeting and the council was ready for new business. Joe Marino, reporting for the appropriations committee, moved that the sum of $46.715 be given to the delegates to the Middle Atlantic States Intercollegiate Conference. A committee composed of Hugo Mailey, Dean George Ralston of the faculty, and Tony Zabiegalski of the council will choose five delegates from the student body to attend this conference. Toni Menegus, who claimed she represented the IRC, wanted to know what the . council's objections were to having the delegates chosen from the lRiC. She was informed that the IRiC was among the clubs not recognized by the newly formed administrative council, and therefore, delegates to the conference would represent Wilkes and not an organization on the campus. Mr. Olshefski stated that since the IRiC had taken the initiative in intercollegiate conferences in the past, that' body should continue to do so. A · roll call vote was taken on Marino's motion and it was carried 8 to 5. Mr. Feeney then gave a report on social activ.i ties. He stated that his committee has been working on a plan to hold a dance after the Wilkes-King's football game. The affair will be sponsored by the student council, and students from both schools will be invited. He reminded the council that foll~wing last year's game, bdth schools held separate dances. Both dances were well attended but one dance would have had an even bigger turnout. Mr. Feeney pointed out that a tradition could be established with' the hom~school sponsoring a dance after the game. As yet, no answer has been received from King's. Joe Marino then ,sraid that num.e rous students had· complained to him that there was no coordination ,:among cheerleaders, that they (the them, has suggested it before, but why not get rid of them-at a profit to yourself? Here's the simple formula: First, make a list of the records you are willing to trade, including suc·h selling points as "very slightly worn," or "rare item." Then , make another list of records you would like to have in exchange, such as old favorites no longer sold, or of a type which you collect. Finally, file these lists, together with your name and address, under my name at the BEAC ON office, 154 South River Street. This column will publish any such lists in the Swap Shop, and who knows, maybe we can arrange some neat exchanges and make everybody harppy! Speaking of rare items, Art Bloom has come up with a real one. It's an advertising disc of about 1932 vintage proclaiming the new low prices of Chevrolet cars at $435! I have thought of taking it to the local Chevy dealer and making him eat it between two slices of bTead, but I still lik e to listen to it and just eat my heart out. While you're weighing the merits of your old records, look for S0METI MES, an old one by Eddie Duchin. Ralph Antrim tells me us has looked from Memphis to St. Joe, 'etc., for that one so see if you can help him out. Joe Gries is looking for the record HARLEM PARADE by Charlie Moore on a Savoy label.

Don Follmer 1 students) believed that some of the cheers could be changed, and other cheers could be added to supplement those already in .use, and that the cheerleading squad was not proficient. James Catnes said that he thought the fau1t was with the student body. He claimed the students were not . cooperating with the cheerleadens. He cited the last pep rally as an example. The cheerleading squad and the band were on the river .common, and there were no more tha:n 50 students at the rally. · · Keith Rasmussen entered the discussion by stating that at the Lycoming game there were three cheers in the first half and only one in the third qu·a rter. He .thought , the fault lay iri the head cheerleader and the faculty advisor to the squad. · Jack Feeney thought · it was everybody's fault. Hte stated that t he band should play more often .. He recommended that a committee composed of some members of the faculty and some studen,ts be appointed to coordinate everyone's efforts. · Bruce Mackie challenged Keith Rasmussen to write the alma mater. He explained that the spirit should start at the top - in the council itself. Joe Marino reported that at the St. Francis game, the students yelled. for cheers and were "rejected" by the cheerleaders. Rasmussen claimed that in the Lycoming game, the ball was on the Lycoming five yard iine and Wilkes ha<f 'a fir.st down. It ~s a Wilkes timeout and the logical place for a cheer. "'I1he team needed a cheer," said Keith. However, Rasmussen stated, most of the c_heerleaders ·were on the five ,yard hne ;yatching the »game. Bruce MaoKie sugsgested that there be an inside pep rally and it be a required assembly. He approved of Mr. Feeney's plan for coordination. Mr. Ralston said that he thought the pep rally was a good one but it could have been better. There should have been a bigger turnout. He said that a plan for coordination was needed. He suggested thait a commiftee work on ideas for the remaining home games. He and Reese Pelton will work with Elvira Thompson, Barbara Hartley, Joe Marino, and Norb Olshefski. Lettermen To Meet Monday To Decide Final Dance Plans Next Monday evening, at 7 :30 the Wilkes Letterman's Club will meet to decide upoh the final plans for the formal ball which will be held sometime in December. Bob Waters, president of the club, urges all lettermen to attend. · Ticket sales for the raffle which . will be held after the Wilkes-King's game are continuing at a very satisfactory rate, according to committee chairman, Clem Scott. "We are well above the 350 book mark", he said. · Tom Moran, secretary of the club, reports that a committee of lettermen have approached various clothing rental companies in Wilkes-Barre and finally reached an agreement with Baum's Clothing' Rental Co., 198 S. Washington S,t. Mr. Baum a-g reed to rent tuxedos to Wilkes students for $4.50. The formal attire will include a tuxedo, shirt, tie and buttonaire. The committee said that any fellow who wishes to rent a tuxedo for t his first Wilkes formal dance can go to Mr. Baum's establishment anytime after December 1 for a fitting. �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON WILKES COLLEGE, CHEERLEADERS .

FROM THE CAREERS LmRARY The University of Alaska, at "C.o llege" post office not far from Nrbanks, just outside the Arctic Circle, is farthest north among the world's institutions of higher education. '-For the summers of 19417 and 1Q48 the U. S. Maritime Commiss·ion, at the request of the Departmeat of State, put two semi-converted C-4 ships at the disposal of the Institute of International Education for the transportation of students and teachers to and from Europe. In the S-Outhern Hemisphere the academic calendar is April to December with the summer vacation usually extending from mid-December to mid-March. Very few universities in non• English s·p eaking lands provide any such thing as dormitory facilities.

But JACKSON'S PRECEDENT FOR PRESIDENTS (continued from page 3) During the times of presidential traveling many records have been set ..... Up to President Roosevelt's appearance as champion rail traveler, President T.aft had worn the crown, with 114,5'59 rail miles in his record. Roosevelt traveled 243,827 miles, completing his 399th trip when he died at Warm Springs, Ga. The honor of the longest single trip is held by President Taft when he traveled 12,961 miles on a six wet!k trip. But record breaking is not on the agenda when the Presidential train moves out of its station. The train travels at a m-0derate speed which accounts for the fact that there never has been a serious a ccident. nothing more than an occasional air-hose break. The President's journeys are long planned in advance and there is never any secrecy about them. No information is withheld, time of departure or embarking station. All is known far in advance that when ready to leave all aboard know each other and are quite familiar with everyone. When a train trip is seen on the horizon, D.e wey Long swings into action.

Nothing ever is lacking, so when it comes to train travel you can still be right and be President. · (Ed. note: This information comes to the BEACON compliments of the Wilkes College Careers Library.) the part that really struck home , was the second paragraph of the story which read, quote: "Frank Anderson and Donald Rau, gears of the present yearbook staff who have done so much inspiring work in the past, are co-planners fo·r the occasion, and gave impetus to the idea after realizing that Wilkes coeds needed some recognition for their beauty other than through the usual hum-drum business of 'queen-pickings'."

Hailed as Wilkes' most successful affair thus far. Norton, Hollywood's master comic-inebriate, was highly gratified with the applause he received. The popular actor of stage and screen made an immediate hit with t he enthusiastic audience the minute he was introduced by master of ceremonies Marty Blake, gener1 al chairman of the affair. After a ' few preliminary remarks concern' ing his experiences during his short stay in Wilkes~Barre, Norton immediately became one of the crowd and warmly made Reese Pelton, leader of the Collegian orj chestra which played for the dance, the target of his joke attack. Then he gave the audience what they were waiting for, his world-famous drunk act. This literally brought down the house, and Norton retired Wilkes College once again ha s aid Vernall, Edward Wasil ewski from ,t he party with a deafening shown itself as a school of high and Anthony Zabiegalski.

(W~at p'eoplE:) Talking of John Flork1ewicz the · Monday followi ng the game, I conceived the idea for a wonderful story. The Nanticoke Powerhouse stated that he was tackled on an end run one time and happened to look up at the opposing bench. Who di.d he see · adorning the Rider hardwood but that old master of t he art of baloney - slinging, t he amiable "Swisher" Katz. And in that name lies the tale of one of the zaniest char~cters ·ever to grace a college campus. The one-man basketball, football , baseball, lacrosse, and soccer star was a m'ilmber of the Whlkes student body last September (lucky us) after honorin g the University .o f Richmond with h is presence. But it was the man'n er in which the versatile Mr. Katz made his ap pearance on the campus . of Wilkes that impressed the writer. Ole Swish showed up one day totally unannounced, which my good amigo Paul Huff will testify would be unusual for •him, and decided to give the school l.;i break. Par~ing his bag, the one with the sign plastered on . it "I Am Swisher Katz, former AllState New Jersey guard ," he transgressed to the office to register. After he completed the formalities of announcing •to 'o ne and all t hat he would bring gridiron gl~ry and court acclaim to t he school, he proceded to canvass the t own in the h ope of finding some ·iiitting.• ,ite_m qf . wearing a~fy.eI ·to justify his use. S'ears Roebtrck . came to his rescue and soon the Swisher was wearing a gawdy cont raption bf 37 different colors which he claimed was presented to nitn by a grateful high school upon his graduation. , Then the school's big me, ;ent came. Swisher was ready to go · out for football. On the initial day of his appearance, t he boys were going through a short "dummy" scrimmage, which to youse illiterates means running through P lays without pads on. But that didn't mean anything to the Swisher. He jaunted out on the .ield decked out complete with shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow !!'Uards, rib pads and hip pads. On the first play of the scrim- , · h · d t mage, Sw1s was statione a a guard post and promptly broke through two un-padded Oolonels to half-maul the ball-carrier. After this went for several palys, Chet Knapich, the lVlanassa lV!au ler of the Wilkes line, called for equipment and the boys decided to teach the Swisher a lesson. The Richmond h ollocker broke t h rough th e line and headed for th e ballcarrier. And then the roof feJ on h im. Chet hit him high, Waschko him him low, and Hendershot gave him th e one-three and Barry applied the two. Eighteen minutes later, wheri he was revived, Swisher picked up his teeth and boa st ed l oudly as he jaunted off t h e field, "I'll make the basketball team th e be st in th e land." The court seas on opened wi th a bang, Swisher slipped on a cake of s oap. Wiikes ,was indeed forturia te that it had a: star of sµch magnit ude in · its lineup. But th e Swisher fizzled. It seemed he took nine minutes to get set for a . shot and even that was too long ;for Wilkes. Swisher was doomed to th e bench for the remai nd er of th e season. But Wilkes happened to be playing Rider College in Trenton, N. J ., and fou nd th emselves losing a ball ga m e. Swisher, after th e Rider star forwa rd , Herb Klapprodt, has scored his 21st point, told t he Wilkes coach, George Ralston, tha t he kn e w away to stop th Klapprodt a nd to put him in e ball game. Ralston, flg·uring th e game was lost anyway, inserted Katz and settled back to watch the fun. Swisher stopped Klapp .rodt a lright-wi th a hard right to the chin. After the official had tolled ten, Herbie · got up, made his two free throws, a nd remained in the game. He did this three times ,before Swisher was eiected from t he fray for, of all th ings, slugging. Among the other comical things the.
