The heads of the committees f.or the dance have completed their tasks, and all is in readiness for the razz-ma-tazz show. There is general interest in the dance, for students are wond,ering if the MedIRChem clubs can match in quality the cabaret dances of the past at Wilkes. Accordi~-g to the members of the various clubs involved, the dance tonight -w ill be something to talk a:bout. Th,ey will probably :be right. .

Early in December --- on the seventh , to b e exact --- the film, SCHUBERT'S SERENADE was shown in Chase Theatre. At evening's end the audience was amused ,but unsatisfied, for the picture had ended in th.e middle of the story and there was no more to be seen. Since these people might become victims of some dreadful complex as a result of that incomplete .evening the film has been brought back to be shown com-. pletely on January 11, at 8:00 p.m. in Chase Theatre. Those people who saw the first .part- of -SCHUBERT'S -SERErN.ADE were very favorably impressed by the fast moving action, the fine music, and excellent comedy. It is a French language film with English titles to interpret the conversation for such of us have not visited the "West Bank" recently.

Those students wishing to -enter graduate schools should take the GRE, providing this exam i.s required for admission. Applications can ibe obtained at the main office. The ever-mysterious cabaret styled dance, sponsored by the MedlRChem clubs and -to be h~ld this evening in the Victory Room of the Hotel Redington, is in the last stages of production. The mystery lies in the fact that the floor show entertainment has a curtain of foggy matter surrounding it. The most notable facts released about the dance are that Lee Vin~ cent will furnish the music and that Marty Blake will have nothing ·to do with the event. NEWEST PROPERTY ADDITIONS TO WILKES WILKES FEBRUARY ENROLLMENT DROPS By Irene Janoski Wilkes Colleg.e will accept new students again on February 6th, when the spring .s emester !begins, according to Herbert J . Morris, registrar and director of admissions. According to the Wilkes registrar, fewer students will be admit' ted for this coming ·semester than at any time during the past four years-the period when colleges and universities throughout the country were being flooded with returning GI's who sought higher learning. . "From now on", asserted M-r . Morris, "September will be the time when colleges will admit the ·largest number of students. Most institutions admit w~ry few at the half-way mark and even today several have stopped ' this practice." The present record-high enrollment of 1,929· students will be either maintained or S'Y'elled slighlty by the enrollment -of new stud,ents in 1both branches of the college for the February se~ester.

In a recent press release of The National Foundation For Infqntile Paralysis, Basil , O'Connor, president of the Foundation, issued a special, urgent call for organized March of Dimes camJ)aign participation by college and. university student bodies. An alarming number of people in age groups that include college and university students Wl[lre victims of 1949's epidemics of poliomyelitis in this country. The last year, Mr. O'Conner said, has seen the largest number of polio cases in any one year in any country in ·the history of the world-or more / than 42,000 cases. · Of these 42,000 it is estimated that more than 10,000,were over 15 years of age with the greatest number p10portionately between the ages of 15 and 24. f Besides the tremendous cost . of patient care, extensive research and educational programs are . costing the National Foundation millions of dollars every year. Mr. O'Conner pointed out that these obligations are of peculiar importance- to institutions of higher learning, their student 'bodies and faculties. Homer Bones made it quite clear that he would soon tum his attentions to the basketball court and do his all for dear old Wilkes. In the latest interview, Hoopster Homer stated that he would do all in his power to pull the team out of the doldrums and start it on its winning way. •B ouncing Bones, one of the greatest and trickiest dribblers of all time, gave a brief account, past, pres.ent, and future of his prowess on the basketball court. A luncheon was served during the interview. •Highstepping Homer hustled into the Beacon office, set · shot an imaginary b a s k e t ,b a 1 l cleanly through the op,ening of the wastepaper basket, pivoted quikly, faked a pass to Vince Macri, then slipped into a chair. Gas,p s of amazement from those Beacon members present answered Basketball Bones' feats of lightning-fast play and deceptive maneuvering. Hilltop Homer played his first game of basketball in a basket with a ball. "If the Russians hadn't beaten me to it," he said, "I'd have claimed development of the game." Homer smiled, signaling the end of a spontaneous joke. His audience guffawed! (guffaw meaning "a shout of boisterous laughter". Homer ha.s played forward and guard, but never center. Yet, he he claims to be able to outjump the tallest center. To prove his claim, he jumped high above the heads of the match.es lying on the f.loor. No getting away :from it; Homer is good! ,H omer intends to toy with any off.ers that the .p ro team will offer him at the end of the current season. That is, unless his fiance changes his ever-active mind. Yes, Homer has a fiance. Exclusive!!! Her name is Sisalia Manila Hemp. Explosive BoRes, always one for bringing about a · surpr,i sing turn of events, released the news in , a calm manner. The news was shortlived however. Bingles Bones instantly turned the topic · back to basketball. "Well," he said, as he edged· his way toward the door, "I have to get going for practice. I'll see you all later.

P.)-The old jilbe aibout college being a "fouryear~loaf" is as <lead as the yau<leville jokester who coined it, at least as far as Ohio State University , students ar,e concerned. College is no loafing matter on tliis campus v.ihere a student service aigency whicih handles part-time employment, scholarships and loans has zoomed into the category of big business. Last year, stud.en.ts placed in jobs by the University agency earned an estimated income of $19,500.000. More than $50,000 was granted in loans by the same office to 640 additional students. Hundred·s of others were studying 'under various ,undergraduate scholarships administered by the office, many of the recipients also working for room and· board to help finance bheir educational way. 'That information ·is revea,l,ed in the annual report of the S.tudent Financial Aids Office, a Iittleknow.n per.S1onnel agency which goes a long way toward providing the conviction of University administrators •h ere that a big school cart also be !big and efficient in its s.er~ Yices to students. Forerunner was the !Student Employment Office, a smialler unit created in 1006 to com:bine services formerly scattered in the N. Y. A. committees, the Ohio Union, Y. M. C. A. and office of the Dean of Women. It was reorganized in l!M6 under the direction of Bland L. Stradley, vice president in charge of student affaiTs, when war-time and .r econstruction problems indicated need for •enlargement of all personnel ser,vices. ,currently, the ,f inancial aids service is free and available to all persons enrolled at the UniY,ersity. The 640 .loans ,g ranted to students last year ranged in amounts from $5 to $500, a.pip-roximately half of them going to up,percla,ssmen. Individual repayment plans are set up for each loan, with the usual rate of interest 4 percent. Loan sources now number 36, with fines ,p aid lby campus traffic violators providing the largest source of funds earmarked for general purposes. Traffic fines Jast year !boosted the net worth of the loan fund :by $1,5,464. Actual loan repayments during the same· period amounted to $7Q,30'2. All responsibility for . record keeping, accounting, reporting, preparation of ,literature and administration of details in connection with the undergraduate schola·r&hip program also belong.s to the Student Financial Aids.

You get the impression 1t he's a lot like Bob Moran and b Partridge. He'll work like the iii under the most adverse conions with the sparsest of mateI and still make a workable com1ation out of anything he puts rether.

In .all probability, the following II represent Wilkes: Reynolds, idvary or Ennis, Thomas or Husnd, Cromach (now suffering an jury, status unknown), Zwodniak. cmeter, Stephens, McMahon and ·oss or Radaszews!~. It is interesting to note that the uad harbors no seniors and is aded with sophomores. A harbin,r of things to come, perl aps. A few paragraphs aibove, this lumn stated that Coach Laggin !ls the type who would succeed ,spite adverse conditions. And he ill. But the question is " when will , be overloaded?" And I'm afraid e answer can be instilled into a thargic studen t body. It is amazing, how, in some hools, the job of student manager vied for just as ardently as is position on the team. Not here! :mtrarily, the coach can't beg, 1rrow or steal a student manager. One man. One man applied. oach Laggin was just about to Jt him to work when the young an asked, '"Can I have my letter 1d sweater now 'r'' When iniormed tha t he had to 1rn it first, he departed in a huff 1d Laggin is now his own student 1anager. That makes it tough on coach;when he should be teach1g wrestling, he is instead hand1g out equipment, checking equip1ent, straightening the locker 10m, and doing many other little 1ings a student manager should 1ke care of. A good student manager can 1ean a lot to a coach and a team. [e is a vital part of the machine. [is job is important, that is why e is rewarded with the exact a- ward ·the athlete gets. And the letter isn't merely given as a "thank yo u" g est ure. It is given because the manager is part of the team. If you think you are worthy, and if you are interested in becoming part of a great team, see Coach Laggin . He needs a good studen t manage.r ••••• The tro uble with Wilkes College is not that the basketball team is not a consistent winner, but that the student body is spoiled. The students are still walking in a gold tinted dream in the great foo t steps of its footbalJ team. They seem to forget that that team pyramided four years side by side play until they did everythin•g i,ut breathe for each other. ••••• ow we have a raw, green basketball team battling its heart to make its name equally held with its football brothers. And you think they haven't built step-bystep? Look at the l"ecord. In their first game, while still seeking a floor for practice, they were racked up proper. During the week after that game, they found a floor, practiced only a few days and played a return game with the opening team. They lost, but lessesd the gap considerably. Then in each successive game, just as steady as the chimes of Big Ben, the scores were lessened until two games ago they were , beaten in the last minute of play, and in their last game they took t he opposition into an overtime period before dropping the cont est. Sure, the build ing process is slow, ·and certainly the victory is a long time coming, but the Cagers schedule is no .breather. Their opposition is as stiff as will be found anywhere. And they will begin winning soon . •On ce they hit the t he win ,olumn, they will be hard to stop. All they lack at this stage is a point maker. They play •a beautiful flo or game. Dragon, Huff, and Johns are excellent playmakers. Jackson and Benson have done some miraculous shooting, but it's erratic. They need help. The team in general remind s this column of the time the S.t. Louis Cardinals got wind of a great prospect who, seeminglN, was Mr. Superman himself. Quickly, Mike Gonzales was rushed to scout t his marvel and to sign him if he had it.

Only four men representing the Wilkes cagers have had any college basketball experience. With the exception of Charlie Jackson, Bill Johns, !Ben Dragon, and Paul Huff, Ralston is working with a green team.

COLONEL CAGERS (BEACON Sports Writer) The Wilkes College wrestling team opens its season tomorrow night against Wyoming Seminary on the latter's mat. This will be the first team match under the new coaches Jim Laggin and Billy Lee. Some of the grapplers were in the "Y" tournament. Dan Sadvary, 128 class; SkinOn Wednesday and Thursday nights t he coaches held elimination mee ts to determine who will represent the school in the first match. Unfortunately this story went to press before last night's bouts·, but there was some indications as to whom the starters will be. · Wrestling at 121 will be Reynolds or Brown; 128, Krohn; 136, Thomas; 145, Cromack; 165,Echmeder ; 165, Stevens; 175, McMahon, unless he was challenged and beaten by Moran; and in the unlimited class will be either Norm Cross or Radaszewski. These are the boys who will represent our college tomorrow night, and they are also the boys who will help to supply competition to such great wrestling teams as Millersville STC,. E. Stroudsburg STC, and Ithaca. Other members of the team who were eliminated were ny Enni s, 121 cl-ass; Husband, 136 class; Moran, 165 class; and George Cross. Wyoming Seminary has always had good wrestling teams and has always supplied the keenest of competition to its opponents. It is reputed to h.a ve !lnother go<><.l.,team this year, and those who 9tend can expect some good matches tomorrow night. If you've never seen a wrestling match, this will be a good opportunity for you to see one and at the same time support your school. And if you have seen wrestling matches, you can see some good collegiate wresters . in action. The matches are being held at Wyoming Seminary which i" easily reached by bus. Any Forty Fort, Luzerne, or Swoyerville bus will take you within a block of t he school. Come and support your school's wrestling team and enjoy an evening of s'ports.

Willard Prater was appointed chairman, with the following ,assistants: Dick Shafer, Fred Ingold and Ted Krohm. The primary purpose of this committee is to formulate a constructive program of iband management. , The first accomplishment ' of the committee was to acquire from the college a fund to purchase new uniforms. The committee is now planning to establish a big marcMng band with an efficient organizatio n for next Fall. First on the agenda for next semester is ,a .Spring concert which will be held sometime in May. The rehearsals for this concert will begin '· during the first week of the new semester. They will be held ~very Tuesday and Thur,s day at 11 o'clock · in upper Pickering Hall. There will be no night rehears al; , The reason wh \" rehearsals have been scheduled ·;or : he time ind-ica ted is because many capable musicians in the college were prevent-: ed from playing in the foo~U band due to the night work involt ed. Mr. Moran would like to see these musicians come out in th.e Spring season. He stated ·that, ''co:: trary to popular opinion, I would : like both men and women in the ,band." Vacancies are open in all sections of the band except the trombone section. All students who are interested may contact Mi': Moran in room 202 of Gies Hall. . Mr. Moran summarized the situation concerning the band by saying: "Up until this time, material means have hamp~red the progresf of the band; but now that we hav~ financial aid the important th ing· . · is to build . a good .b and backed by student support. With student Sl':)port, Wilkes College can h:.:.ve t he best band in Wyoming Valley." CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS 20 North State St. Phone 3-3151 SATURDAY, JANUARY 21 9 A.

PHONE 4-4651 EXT. 19 Member Intercollegiate Press EDITORIAL THE CASE OF THE LIFTED BOOKS At the year-end inventory recently completed by the library staff, it was discovered that approximately 200 books are missing from th~ shelves since last September. The people who have these books_no longer have any use for them since a book is of little value to a person once he has read it For what reasons the books are not returned we do not know. On this score we can only speculate. Perhaps they consider the fines that must be paid on long over-due books and decide that it would be cheaper to keep the books rather than return them. Or maybe they have misplaced the books and do not realize they are depriving some other stud_ent of the use of the information contained in the books. · Of course there is probably a small minority who deliberately take the books from the shelves with no thought in mind of ever returning them. The students should remember that the books are the property of Wilkes Colleg~ and are loaned to the students while they are matriculating at Wilkes. College students should have the integrity to return the books to the -library without being , asked to do so. \ A list of the missing books will be published in the February 10 issue of this paper. If you have any of the books on the list, and these books are the school's property, your cooperation by retur:r;iing the books will be greatly appreciated. FINALE FOR SOME As another semester nears its close Wilkes College approaches another milestone in its phenomenal growth. For some of us the end of classes just means more intensive studying in preparation for final examinations followed by a short . respite before resuming the same old grind in February. For others-for those few who walk around campus with . smiling faces-it means the end to their Wilkes College · careers. For Wilkes College it means the final step in its climb to recognition which will be reached by graduation on the February class. This class will be the first to be conferred with Wilkes College degrees. Let us who remain strive to make these graduates proud of their distinction. And let _those graduates strive to make WHkes proud of them. MANUSCRIPT READY TO APPEAR SOON 'l1he faH issue of ManuscriP't, literary magazine of Wilkes College, is scheduled to make its appearance on ·c,a mpus towards the end of this s,eme~ter. According to Rfohard Rutkowski, editqr of t!he publication, it will contain a numiber of s1h ort stories, feature articles, -and poems. He also stated that a section of the magazine wUl be devoted en-ti-rely to book reviews. Innovations have been made in the format of the magazine; the pages have been arr-a anged for double columns with a new type of print for easi-e r readi.ng. An added feature of the Manuscript will be the editorial, address_ed to a 11 readers, written biy the publicat'ion's staff of editorial members.

Probably only two matiters were decided upon: (1) that the cafete- By HOMER BONES They were right! The MedlRChem dance is something to taJ k about. The Victory Room of the H tel Redington was indeed a victory room for •the tni-sponsored affa ir which was ap,parently a suc·c es fr.om ,b eginning to end. The affa ir was attended by approximatel y 200 couples --- a goodly crowd for the V room. The j,ovialness and warm friendly spirit p,ervading the room dr,essed up the occassion noticeably. The dance was well •o rganized and managed. The only hitch in the smooth e~ecU:tion of the erntertainment was the line-muffing which Chuck Gloman's "strai-ght" man committed, but ev.en that was over-shadorwed by laughter. The "sraight" man can't be blamed too much, howeve.r, because of the short time for rehears-al. The once mysterious floor show of the dance was r,evealed Friday night as one of the niftiest shows in the long line of cabaret-styled dances.

Off the record, I've learned that bhe Irem Temple on Noirth Franklin Street has already been arranged for, and also that Jack M,el•t on's fine band has been engaged to set the mood for the evening. From here it looks like a great night. But we're straying. The idea of this arti-clle is to let the Juniors who 1h a've not yet attended their class meetings know what the "attending" Juniors have decided fo-r them. I might suggest, too, that if the non~attenders .somehow dislike the decisions which have been made, only that very obvious remedy of their participation in future meetings will alter subsequent decisions. Here is what has been covered -thus far: 'Ilhe class assessment has been decided upon. Howev,er, don'.t be frightened. In fact, be thankful, for the Juniors have profited by the experience of the Senior Class, which you may or may not know, has just asked its members for a lump sum assessment which will have 1;o be paid by the end of -ne~t semester, since Seniors g,r aduate then. The Juniors are going to extract their .a ssessment quite painlessly, though, wi<th an easy-going installment set-up which· will allow members to pay their as.s essments in small am-0unts and over a period of two y,ears. The installment payment is $1.50 per semester for each of the -last four semesters.

Tihough there isn't any captain, Bob Hall has taken hold of the reins of re-c ruiting s-0me good men.

The l'a<test to join the hockey team is a thing called Martin Blake. Yes, folks, it's ,t he great Marty Blake. Marty says he played a wicked goalie while in the Army, .and he's borrowed a complete uniform from .t he USA to prove it . .Regardless, .when you have a figwre like Mr. Blake's, th.e opposition is going t o have a t-0ugh time squeeiing the puck through. The thought of Marty stopping ,pucks with his face isn't s-0 terrible, when you consider tha,t no little puck is ever going to do more damage to M.avty than nature has d-0ne already. 1,iere are -0,t hers ·on the squad with experience, but Coach 'M oran wants anyb-Ody whoever stood on a paiir of skates to come out for tme team. Bob Mor,a n, ,who has been flatt,ened many a'tmie playing hockey in Detroit, has figured -0ut a solu~ tion t9 the uniform problem. His tremendous brain has come up with the idea that they can use football shoulder pads, football jerseys, soccer trunks, their own skates and sticks, a nd ·Jong j·o hns for socks. Just what to do about the ·sock problem took a lot of bra'in work, but Bob came to the conclusion that if everybody paid 85c for a. pair of white longjohns, his wife would dye them blue, and they'd have the slickets hockey socks -in the .business. His other problem, was side pads. Since all the games are away and are play,ed in indoor rinks, side pads are a dire need because of the boards. For pure safety's sake, Bob has decided to u s.e footbdl pads, t hough they wiB slow up the boys. Our hockey tean1 may not be the best hockey team on ice, but one thing is sure-it w'ill be the most original. Due to circumstances, tihere isn't any .ice airound town, so Coach Moran and his 1boys have h.eld indoor practice on the blac_kb-Oards.

These holds are w,ay possible in their democratic the first lebter from Germany. · . 4 By ED TYBURSKI ' Beacon Sports Writer After talking to some of the sports-minded students around the campus, we have come to the conclusion that there aren't . many people that understand Collegiate wrestHng. And since we do have a good wrestling team at Wilkes, it might be a good idea to review the sport as it is scored iby the officials. Each meet ts composed of eight niate~s, and each match has three periods of 3 minutes. There is no rest between .p eriods. The first period is ,s tarted from a s·tanding position. 'The loser of this period is given the choice of top or bottom posi,t ion in th.e second period. In tp.i~ heat the wrestlers assume a kne,e ling position beside each other. W·h en a man is said to have the top position, or advantage, he i-s the one who puts Ms arms around his opponent. This is known as th.e :referee's position. This procedure is rever,s ed for ,t he staut of the third period. The scor.ing of points is not as -oomplicated as one would think. A take down, or gain~ng advantage, is worth two points to the man who gains the advantage. Another two points .is given to a man when be is on the bottom, and reverses thi,s position. Still another two points is awarded to a man who nearly pins Ms opponJnt. Then there is what is -known as a neutral, .i.e., when the fellow on th.e bottom gets free. F•o r instance, take the position the wrestlers assume for the -start of the second or third period. When th.e man who is at the disadvantage, the low man on the totem pole, ,g ets free and galins his feet, this is called a neutral and that man gets one point. E.'ach fall, or pin, that a team gets awards that team five points, determined by th.e referee, and he can award poirtts ,to the man against whom these ;h olds are used. Some of the illegal holds are the full nelson, head locks, blocking breathing, sdssor holds, and body slia ms. This is the big difference hetween professional and collegiate wrestling. There are very few holds in t h·e collegiate sport that cause pain to th.e participants. When a wrestler does . grunt and groan beyond reason, he is usually out of condiition. Points can also :be awarded for not wrestling .. . for staHing and keeping away from the other opponent. Points are given for a time advantage; one point':llor every .two minutes up to two points. And if the match is a draw, ·bhe referee decides who is the winner ... this is known as a referee's decision. That's about as simple as i,t can he explained. But a:s you can see, it is a good sport, and we do have a good beam. Come out and see ;them. While you are .being educated to -a new sport, you w.ill also be supporting your school's team.

The ,fi,g ures, r;om:pilel by Tom iMoran, show in black and whi<te why Coach Ralston's men are ;finding things toug.h -and the records don't lie! · As a team, the Colonels have only managed to scol'e 53.1 points p-er garm,e. At this rate the boys aren't going to wear out many hoops . . . and win many games. The }:iigh man on the low totem · pole is pivot man Charlie Jackson . Charlie leads the ,p ack w:ith only 10.8 points per -game. Pile-driving Bobby Benson is the number two man with 9.3 points per game, and newcomer John aMckin has averaged 9 points for his two games. After that, things just go d-0wn. Little Paul Huff, who specializes in a long-range attack, has averaged 6.6 points per game, while other va,rsity men su{!h as Bill Johns and Ben Dragon have the same average as Paul. The main fault of the Colonels this sea·s on is its weak bench. There isn't one sybstitute that Ralston can call on with an average ove-r 3 points per game! Also, the boys havenrt been collecting their share of the foul shots. Outside of Jackson and hard-drivng 'Bo'bby Benson, the te_am 'hasn't made many points from the foul line. Huff, a full-time varsity man, h_a s made only I;) foul shots, Johns only 1,6, and Ben Dragon 24. The team record is bad, but . the f.uture is bright: Jackson is a junior, Benson a sophomore, and Mac.kin and Petr.ilak are only .freshmen. The Colonels can pull up their record to a sati'Sfactory height in the remaining four games, :but it's going to take a lot of pulling and pushing. Scoring Record To Date COLONELS TO FACE TRIPLE CITIES ON YMCA OOURT TOMORROW NIGHT PRELIMINARY GAME TO BEGIN AT 7 P. M. By JOE GRIES (Beacon Sports Writer) Conquerors ·of two of their last five games, including a win over neighboring King's College, the Wilkes College basketballers will return to the hard woods Saturday evening at 8 p. m. in the local YMCA when they play hos,t to Triple Cities College. The J. V. game will start at 7 p. m . .Beaten 'by King's last Tuesday night, tlhe ,Colonels hope to make amends against the boys from Binghamton :by plac.ing another win into their season record. , Not too much is about Triple Cities team this year, but you can •b e sure they will be out to atone for the two losses Wilkes handed them last year. It was one of these games that Phil Sekerchak netted his 46-point total to lead Wilkes to victory. The second game, to decide the winner of a to;nrnament, was a thriiler all the way. W¼1kes won out in the last 10 seconds to cop the trophy given the winner. In ·both these games the margin of vktory was a small dne, and this year Triple Cities will be out to >b e the team on top at the final whistle. With all this in mind it •s hould ·be a real thriHer. Evsen though the King's game did not ,p roduce a victory for the Ralston boys, .i t did prove to tJhe diminutive mentor that he finaBy has some material to work with known for foture seasons. The play of Freshman John -Mackin was terrifiic. His jump pivot shots, a la Caz Ostrowski were something to see. Although he was only in tlhe game a short time he did manage to come out high scorer for the C<ilonels with 11 points. George May another new co.mer to the Wilkes ,s quad this year play,ed a fine game against King's. His aibility to takJ the rebounds plus his hustle on the court stamps him as a fine prospect for future games. Ben ' ,Dragon played his usual steady game and more than once kept the Colonels attack function,in-g. Ben went out on fouls ear,ly in the last period, but still managed to collect 8 points and 'b lock many King's shots from becoming 2pointers. After the ·T riple Cities game, the Colonels hit tJhe road to play M:ans.field State 'T eachers College, whom they defeated earlier in the season. They return home :Saturday, February 18 to tangle with Lycoming. 3 Player Jackson Benson Mackin Hull Johns Dragon May Petrliak Morris Team average G Gls !Fs Pts Ppg 12 12 2 12 12 12 47 36 7 36 39 4 111 35 9 79 30 16 76 . 74 20 6 4 10.8 9.3 9.0 6.6, 6.3 6:2 2.2 2.0 .7 25 24 9- •·0 3 6 l 1 4 4 2 130 18 ..printed from February 1950 Juue or ESQUIRE Copyright 1950 l,y Eoq,ur, la,e, "I'd marry yQu in a minute Herbybut what could I tell my friend•?" ~4e· C!tnlgate .tllllarnnn YoLLDD ... 53.1 M.

Scheduled For May-November Pepsi- is going to leave us. Who's Pepsi-? Ask Millie. Who's Millie? You haven't been with us very long, have you? Dkay, let's elucidate. Way back yar,s and yars ago, 'i n a'bout or around 1945, Miss Mildred Gittens app.Jied for and rec•eived ,a job from Miss !Norm•a Sanguliano, then Dean of W,oonen of Bucknell Junior Colllege. (Wilkes was at one time .BuckneLl Junior College, you know.) But Millie did not .g et the j,ob all iby herself. She had "pull". The plllll came under the term of Pepsi-, a cute ,little thing, a 1937 four~cylinder souped-up, j,et job, super-some Willyis ,Coupe---,- wi·t h the horn and a door in the trunk. Ah, it was a siglht to behold! Millie oou1dn't get t!h:e j•ob without a car, ·a nd Pepsi-turned out to be a - - car? .Mi,ss Ci.ttens would have purchas-e d the Willys ,anyway . .She was downright · hadr-tearing •a ngry. 1Some taxi drivers decided to go on •s trike, leaving MiHie n a cloud of carbon monoxide. 1S o ,she decided to 'b uy a car. She bought Pepsii-instead. Upon Pepsi-',s ar,r,ival, Miss Gittens decided it wa,s high time she learned to drive. Two wee~s later, she ,g ot her driver's license. A week after that a mail truck de.cided ~ deliver the mail to Millie's car. You know the old saying "the mai1l must go ·bhrou,g,h". Well, the q-uck went through .Peps.i-'s trunk to deliver the stuff. J.n 1947, Pep,si- was used to transport baked goods froin a No. Main Street bakery to the cafeterria. In the ,s ame year and part of the next iit was-used to haul Beacons f.rom the printer to the campus! In 1948 Pepsi- was used to haul football equipment to Kirby Park every day for football practice. It was used for many other thing,s., but Miss Gittens would not ,enumerate all of them. 'The Oongest voyage, flight, or trip (take your c'hoiice) made by Pep,si since 1Miss Gititen,s adopted it was to New York and hack. Miss . Gittens ,stated that 'Pepsi- consumed three gallons of gas and no oil for ,the trip . .She added that bhe trip was made before inflation set it, c ons.e quently New Yo,rk 1was not as far from Wilkes-Barre as it is now. The addition was made just fo:r those unbelievers who do not ·bhink that Pep,si- can go 75 miles on a gallon of gas. That's practically the who<le story. The plans for Pepsi- are indefinite save for .t he fact that it's place will ,soon be taken by a cad, a cold~hearted 1939 Plymouth. MilHe pI,a ns to ca1l,! the new oar -Cola. And the ,title -o f this, story might be Pepsi-Cola. · American Colleges Now Accepting D. P.'s in the country to which they will emigrate. The lot of the D. P.'s studying in Germany ha,s not been easy. Currency ;reform has Hmited the amount of help wMch -their fel:lowrefugees couiJd give them, and most D. P. ,students have. tried to get ,a1ong ~Y saving on food, a practice which is certainly not pra·cticabl,e from ~ !health viewpoint. Despite the •h ardships, the D. P.'s have ,a:ttadned, as a group, higlrer marks than do their fellows. These results are even more outstanding w.hen D. P. ,s tudents ar,e given a chance to study .in Univer,s ities where they are -reailly wanted and where ther p.ro:blein,s -o f eating and living a re ,l ess acute. The United ,States, under the Displaced Persons Act of 1948, authorii z.es the admission of students who have the as,s urance of a scholarship, as well as fuH living expeng,es for •a yea,r .

Forty-Three Wilkes Students Teaching In Local High Schools By ROMA YNE GROMELSKI Fort1')-three Wilkes, College students are doing their s'ludent teaching this semester at Coughlin, Meyers, GAR.

According .fo statistics from Mr. John Hall of the Wilkes Oollege groups have !been consistently larger for the spring semes·t ers than for the foB semesters. For thios Te11s·on, i,t has been difficult to place student teacihers in the sprng, and all .students cannot 'pe sure of having/ the ,opportunity ito teach ·t!he subj;ect in which he ha;s majored. Including ·this ,s,emester'-s ~ .o up, Wilk·es has s·ent ,out a total of 177 student teachers to the local ihigh schools , to fulfill their stud,ent teaching requirement. Each potential tech er mus t sati,s fuctorily complete a m:inimum of 90 clock hours of practice teaching to qualif-y fo·r a teacher's cemific-ate. During the first week, the student teacher observes while a trained teacher conducts the class. Afterwards, the student do_es, the actual teaching under the supervision of the ·exper,t and supplements his practica-1 exp,erience with further observation. To qualify for practic,e teaching, a ,s tudent mus,t maintain at least a "C" average' during his fr,esh-. man and -s ophomore yeaI'IS, . have good health, character, and personality, and tie able to speak and wri·te acceptable Engli,sh.

Every colleg·e needs dynamic student .g overnment he said, not to rep.Ja.ce the administrativ,e- professional staff, but to wor,k them and develop leaders hip among the students. Rev. .Sweeney said that "stodgy ·e ducators" are wary of the s tr on g student government because t hey have the suspicdon that student judg,ement is always going to be immature. He went on to say that the very best way to get immature judgement is to expec,t it. 'Dhe obligation of the colleg,e, Rev. 1 S,w eeney explained is to produce not only good business men, . p:r-0 fes·sional men, teachers and technicians but "men and women who are im:bued with enlightenment of leadership."

He attacked .t he faulty teaching of the humanities as ,s uffering from haTdening of the intellectual arteries and said a ,l Jberal education is the "golden theme" which fits man to be a competent leader in the broad area ,o f human affairs. .Dr. Dodds said t hat Colleges of Liberal Arts and Science.s in .t he country's univer,s-i.ties are divided ,as to methods and objectives, with a future more uncertain than that of vocational a n d professional schools.

BY RUTH GAGE COLBY AT ASSEMBLY SPEAKER BLAMES ;RELATIONS TO BLUNDERS BY BOTH NATIONS The strained relations between the United States and Russia are a result of a series of mistakes made by both countries for many years, stated Mrs. Ruth Gage Colby, internationally · known world traveller, before students and faculty at Wilkes College at yesterday's assembly. · Coming a:t a time when the try has struggled many years to United .States was prepa,r ing to ·break diploma.tic relations with Bulgari!ll, the address by Mrs. Colby traeed t'he points of disagreement and ddplomatic blunders made 'b y both countries over a period of year.s. Mr,s. Colby -contended that these mis,takes and seemingly suspicious moves planted the seeds of mistrus t "tlhat today have brought ,a bout a ,s ituation IWhere "the pot is caHing the !kettle black." She ,emphia,sized that only _through better understanding ,in tlhe dmmedlate future can we 'hope to avoid aT.i ned conflict ,b etween two major world.powers. Mistakes were made by both eountries ina merry-go-round fas'hion. Fimt, we would make a move rohat would antagonize the Russian government and it, in turn, iwould feel it necessary to make a counter protec:tive movement. This has continued from the fir,s t World ·Wiar to the present time with each move ib ringing !both countries closer to a diplomatic crisis. Mrs. Colby, who w-ais accredited by the State Department of the Undted Nations conferences at San Francisco, Lake .Success iand .Paris as a non~gov-ernmental representative in social welfare amd the peace movem~t, traced the development of RUS1Sia to its present position as a WOl'ld power, and said that coun- gain that -s tatus. Confident of d;heir power a;fter defeating Hitler, the Russian requests following the second World War wer-e iwel meant, but were misinterpreted 1by thi,s country, the speaker said. The Ru ssi,a ns, she a,sserted, ·l aug,h at our so-called dena,z,ification program, and claim we are permitting the seeds of another war to be sown by baekil\g former Nazis in the American zone of Germany. She eited the expansion of t he Russians' propaganda programs furougihout the world, and saip an eX!planation of the advantages of democracy can do much to curb the ,spread of the 'Red ·i deology. "W,e musit cont inue to demonstrate democracy, only this time we must mean it. Examples of our way of lif.e must be presented to the peoples of the world, who are t hreaitened with Communist domination and we must exert all our efforts to ,b ringing .about peace through understanding," the speaker ,a ss·e rted. -------- NOTICE!

Advisership Problem Competition Pressure Tackled By Hamline Brings On Dishonesty ,s t. Paul, Minn. (I.P.) Arunouncement of its two main projects for the second semester has been released by the A1l~College Council at Ha:mline University. They are: ( 1) facuLty advisernhtlp of ca,mpus organizations; .an<l (2) student leadenship and participation on campus. It is felt here that the problem securing a faculty a,dvis,er, which many organizations have found to be a very real •one, calls for a study and analysis of w,hat type of activity the various facu1ty members would like to par,t icipate in (suc,h as chaperoning, or having a definite club assignment), wlhi,c;h faculty members are not now taking an active part antd which are in ca,mpus orga_nizaticms, and what the organtza ti-ons themselves can do to help ,s olve the problem. ·T he Council Js going to undertake · the task of ftlnding out 1Jhe "why'.s and wherefore's" of student leaidership and participation - Why do ,t he ,s ame people have all the jobs? Why do only such a limited .number .take part in activdties? What can be done to improve the .situation? many Trips ,spon:;;or,ed ·by the A,Y H Na.tiooal :Headquarters will r.range in !length from five to ten weeks and wiH start in June and early July. On these ,t rips, •hostelel'\s will! travel in ,small mixed groups with trained ilead,ers. Estimated costs ;:range from $115 for some trips in the United States to $78'0 for trip,s to North 1S ea and Mediterranean areas. In all cases costs cover the ,enti,r e trip from .starting to finishing points. For overseas trips this means embarkation and debarkaticm points. 1n ,t he United 1States, hosteling groups will , visit northern New England, the Great Lakes, Long lsiland 1Sound and the •Colonial Virginia area. Of 'I)al'ticular inter.est are the seven-week National ,P arks and [High :Sierras trip for hikers and the RoJ.ling Hostel trip, in whic:h .specially equipped trains wdll 'take ihostel,el's cross country, perrni•t ting them to cycle in scenic areas, us'ing the train as their Hostel each night.

The versatile song-writing master of show business has many outside interests. His book. " Wine, Women and Words", published early last year, atI tained nation-wide popularity. "Pitching Horseshoes", his daily column which is syndicated in 225 newspapers, is full of gossipy stories and fancy facts. Rose is the producer of shows and spectacles that always make a big splash - especially the famous World'·s Fair Aquacade, where his wife, Eleanor Holm, was star merma-id. Twentieth Century-Fox made a picture a few years ago, about Rose's famed showplace The Diamond Horseshoe, in an extravagant technicolor production 'which starred Betty Grable and Dick Haymes.

The small lot is filled twenty minutes before eight o'clock classes begin, and remains full until 3 in the aftepioon. If the student parks his car on South River Street, he is forced to play tag' with the boys in bh1e from the city of Wilkes-Barre. This particular game ·has funny rules. The cops are always "it" and the students get "tagged". Of course, every tag _costs the car owner $1.00. We hope that the problem will resolve itself in time. However, until some satisfactory plan is worked out, students who live close to the campus should leave their cars at home so 'there will be enough room in the parking lot for those who live in the outlying areas. Tlie city of Wilkes-Barre could also help by liftidg the two-hour parking limit on South River Street. The city fathers could even outdo themselves by generously reserving the block for college parking only. Perhaps the administration could help by allowing the students to park on the vacant lot adjacent to the Temple Israel. We THINK the school owns the property and this would be a very nice location for a parking lot. Naturally, we are only speculating, but maybe some brilliant student will devise some workable plan. If anyone does, we would appreciate his letting us know. EDITORIAL WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HE-MEN? A full two weeks' have passed since the Red Cross Blood Donor Campaign was launched on the Wilkes College campus. ·Realizing the seriousness involved in this national project, the American Red Cross, in addition to its appeal to individual adults, dec.i ded to make an appeal to the student bodies of colleges throughout the country. . Students who understand the dire need for humah blood during emergencies in American hospitals are the students who have been the most co-operative. Perhaps they had once donated blood, hesitatingly, to either loved ones or total strangers when the need arose. Perhaps, days later, they had experienced that inexplicable feeling when they realized that they, they alone, had saved precious lives with life-giving blood. These students have signed their PLEDGE CARDS willingly and UNhesitatingly. They are familiar with the mentally .poignant results; they anticipate the time when they may once again aid mankind, The ~im of the American Red Cross is simple enough. In approximately five years it hopes to have a series of blood banks consisting of whole blood and blood derivatives in every hospital throughout the country. Doctors in urban and rural . c;xreas alike would have the needed type of blood at their fingertips. Every ounce of blood would be stored and utilized; not a single, valuable drop of blood would be wasted. Patients would receive the necessary number of blood transfusions, be '. they one or. a hundred, entirely free of charge. The plan has been heartily endorsed by the American Medical Association. · Results on the Wilkes College campus? Surprisingly the ·women students have outnumbered the men in .their signing of the pledge cards. A high percentage of pledges is desired of both. If each individual were to donate only one pint of blood a year, the blood banks in the immediate vicinity would ,be amply supplied. The future may unexpectedly place a student's blood in the veins of a close friend or relative. But this he would never know. good pivot man, though he's usually left there stranded with the ball while the rest of the team waits outside for a pass-out. Jumping John leads the pack in scoring with a cute 12.5 avergae. Not too far behind John is the popular Bobby Benson with 9.53. Bobby leads the team In total points, 66 points ahead of his near-est rival. The amazing part about this Is that Ralston only plays Bobby about hall the game. What do you have to be to be a regular? A senior? From here on the log· book gets pitiful. Charley Jackson has slowly slipped from his two-figure mark and is now worth about 8.69 points a gcqne. Set-shot artist Paul Hull is only good for abod t 3 long shots a game, and then he's finished. Paul, a regular 40minute , mcin ,has made only 12 foul points in 19 games. You figure it out. To go on down the list any farther Would be just rubbing it in. The team is having a poor year and- you can't expect the books to have it any different. To pull up these records will mea n some terrific scoring in their three remaining games. There's a chance that they might pull them up ·above sea level, but we won't put our money on it. Among the schools entering the contest are Temple, Ursinus, Bucknell, Pennsylvania, La Salle, Albright, and Franklin and Marshall. The quarlet sang in the assembly program last Tu esday. On Monday, they will be on the· "Wilkes College on the Air" program at 11 :45 A. M. , The idea for the Mud Gutters Society originated la st spring when the Lettermen were seeking talented singers to app ear in one of the a cts of their show. They finally found the material in John Boyce, George Ralston, Charles Reil, Robert Partridge, Phil Nicholas and Frank Anderson, and Wilkes singing society tnade its debut. The group was known as the Wilkes Barbershop quartel at that time and soon expanded to receive other male singers. Phil Nicholas is the president of the Mud Gutters and Frank Anderson is the vice president. Don Follmer serves as secretary-treasurer. Mr. Robert Moran of the Wilkes School of Music is the faculty advisor and ,holds the title, "Tracer 'of . Lost Chords". Mr, Robert Partridge is the official contact man for the society. The purpose of the organization is to enable all men of Wilkes College who are interested in vocalizing for personal pleasure to get together for song lests. Since September its members have gained renown through performances at various school functions. Many students who went to the Theta Delta Rho · weiner roast last fall will remember the Mud Gutters long alter graduation day. That night a group of Wilkes students and their friends sat around a campfire at Harvey's Lake and listened to some Mucl Gutters singing old favorites . The crowd seemed to feel the spell that such harmonizing creates. Mr. Partridge announces that all MALES on Wilkes campus who are interested in joiriing the Mud Gutters are "chord-ially" invited to come to one of the regular Monday night meetings in Chase Lounge.

Editor: mind our friend that- gym or no gym- practicing and playing basketball takes up much of the player'-s time. Does he realize we play three or four .g ames every week? These games .t ake two or three hour.s - add the time spent practicing - plus time spent traveling to the games and commuting to ,s chool. One begins to wonder how these boys have enough time to eat and sleep, let alone time to do their schoolwork. Remember that these ,b oys imah;1tain . a C averag.e in order to play; I know of a ~w of them whose average is well aibove a C. Wilkes has, made rapid strides in -a-11 :phases in the past few yea:ris. :It is Uf} to everyone of us to help the ,school continue to grow. I am' amazed that one student could 'be so wholly una,p preciative; I am amazed that one studerut could 1be so totally lacking in sohool spirit. If ,t he writer of that letter can play .b asketball better than the boy-s who now play, why doesn't :he -g et out and teach the boys somi: of his tricks? Chances are that he ,can't, and if !he can't, he has no rea·s on to back-sea.t drive. }'4:ay1b e we woirld s-ee better results in the scores if our boys _knew that they had the school behind them.

I am a . professional musician, and one of ,the disadvantages of my profession is that .p eople never remember the millions of notes that a musician plays correctly; they only remember the mistakes. Shifting the situation of a musician to th11,t of an aithlete, people never remember the nights that the athlete i,s "on"; -they can only recall his "off nights''. It is a ' simple task to cl'liticize the -s,hor.t-coming,s of individual players, ·b ut as Wilkes fans we should all think of the "on nights" as well as the "off-nights". I ad.: mi,t that Jackson, Drag'o,n, · and Huff are not at the head of bhe scoring colum:ri, ,b ut why not give them credit for all those pas'S in-terceptions and rebounds.

(Beacon Sports Eclltor) SOCCER .... Monday :p. m. at 3 Coach Bob Partridge will run through his first spring practice session with his future soccer teaJ. The entire spring practic'e will last five weeks, and according to Coach Partridge, they're going to ge tough weeks. The main objective of these sessions will be the schooljng of the fundamentals bf the game. Anyone who is sincerely interested in the game and intends to try out for next season's team is invited to come out to Kirby Park, Monday .... Returning to the squad from last year are :P aul Beers, ,Robert, Hooper, Charlie Jackson, · Cy Kovalchik, Robert Nielsen, Charlie iPetrilak, Cled Rowlands, t4,e Stocker Boys (Charlie and Jim), >D on Tosh,· Charlie Wallison, Ed Wheatley, Jerry Wise, William Mosley, Earl Wolfe, Ted Cross, D. Pelmoter and Charlie Thomas. . . . . . Petrilak and Jackson played on the cage squad, while Chuck Thomas .was on the Wrestling , team. . . . Cy K9valchik was captain of last year's soccer team .... Coach Partridge wjll concentrate on getting his men in shape, teaching · them the fundamentals, and getting them on the proper diets. . . . So far he has scheduled Franklin and Marshall, Stroudsburg, Lincoln, Ithaca, Howard, Blooons'burg, and Fort Monmouth. . . . Fort Monmouth is a new, addition to last year's schedule. . . . Any one who is interested in learning to play soccer is welcome to come out for the team. BASEBALI.J. . . . The call for the · first .p ractice is as uncertain as the weather. In fact, it's depending on the :weather. It is probable, though, that Coach Ralston will issue his call within the next week or so; At the time of this writing, Mr. Ralston was not available for comment. So we'll just have to along guessing with the others' as to the actual time of the first practice. . . . Interest is sharp, and the boys are anxious to start. from talk around 'and about the cam,pus, a big turnout can ibe expected, and Coach Ralston will have a good crop to pick his regulars from .... Wilkes has a tough schedule this year, .adding another game with Lycoming and susquehanna. , Both teams had ·b een previously scheduled for only one game. This still leaves the Colonels with tl)ree open dates. Coach Ralston is trying to fill these dates in, and before the season starts, we might very well face a 20 game schedule. . . . With the prosplects of only two pitchers so far, Coach Ralston can pull a "Durocher" and switch Al Molash to the mound. Al is plenty big with a good arm. He should have lots of steam, and if 1 he has the control, he'll be able to help· Ralston with plenty a headache. , HOCKEY . . .. · In this department, we'll start off with an apology. Last week we yelled the praise of our hockey team, and went out on a limib in hoping for a vktory. As the paper :went to press, Coach Bdb Moran received a post card frotn Lafayette saying that they couldn't make it. It seems as though their student council refused them money f..or the rental of the rink. Oh well, at least no one can say we were wrong. We could have won. BASKETBALL . . .. Last Tuesday night the ,C olonels traveled to Ithaca without the services of their coach, who is si"k in bed. They lost 89-69 .... This isn't too bad, considering the fact thit these same lthacans defeated Army the previous week. . . . Mr. Chwalek handled the team iti the absence of Coach Ralston. From all observances, he did a good job ... . Bobby Benson came through again for the Colonels with a high of 25 points. Charlie Jackson followed this with 17 .... Tomorrow night the 1Colonels close their court campaigns at Binghamton where they meet Triple Cities College. . . . We hope that Coach Ralston will . be ready for this last game.

Florkiewicz, a five-foot eleven inch, 190 pounder, played halfback on the Wilkes football teams for the past four seasons. 1Jn 1948 he was given honOJ"able mention on the Associa,ted Press All~Sta·te rteam and followed up this honor by ,g aining a position on last year's second team. Florky graduated from Nanticl>ke High ,Sohool in 1941 and spent · the next three years in the Army .. Upon his discharge he enrolled .in Wilkes and proceeded to gain an I outstanding record as Colonel football player. Wilkes football fans remember John as a hard runner and outstanding passer who :worke'd out of the Slingle wing :with Francis Pinkowski, Leo Castle and Al Nicholas to give Wilkes the rating as one of ,t he outstanding teams in the srtate.

This writer is a little sorry to see the cage sport -b ow out with all its thrills and spills (beside it gave me a Saturday night out), but the sport must take a backseat to old man baseball who is now elbowing his way into the picture, so with this column we are signing "thirty" to the cage sport at Wilkes for this year. , · Wilkes, John scored 29 times in 25 games for a total of 174 points.

By signing with :Plittsburgh, Florkiewicz and W ashco wiH play together for the third time on th:r,ee different teams. John and Gerard have broughrt a great honor ,to Wilkes by being the first ones to sign with a pro team from here and it wouldn't have happened to two nicer guys. iWe hope that thi.s isn't the last time for somertbing like thi.s to haippen at Wilkes, and. somehow we don't think it is. i In Ann Arl>or, the Grand Rapids COLONELS HOPE TO .

Beacon Reporter Visits Local Department Store, ·Horse Race; Relates His Adventures By CHUCK GLOMAN , - After spending four hours studying for my mid-semesters, I decided 'to take a walk in order to get a change of scenery. As I walked along South Main Street, I passed a police car. One of the car windows w,as open and I could hear the short wave radio blaring: "Calling car 46, calling car 46--haven't heard from you all day. Is it something we've said?" I entered one of the local department stores. What a rush! The store was so crowded that three ladies were trying on the same girdle. I recognized one of the clerks as Sylvia Siddlewhip. She isn't a very young girl; in fact, she took part in the famous Boston Tea Party. She was one of the bags they threw overboard. She really is a nice-looking girl, though. She's a decided blonde . . . . I was with her when she decided. For some reason s'he reminds me of coffee-strong and stimulating, hut weak in the bean.

In order to have the Yearbook ready fo; distribution before the end of the spring semester, the .staff had to follow this practice. Last year, so many students de1::i.yed in having their ,p ictures taiken that it was only by sheer effort that the Yearbook was ready before the end of the finals.

The decorations are ,to be in blue and yellow, and the co:mmtitee is planning to have a huge, silvery moon rise ;b ehind the , bandstand. The fact that the dance is in Nanticoke, and on a Friday, has posed a transportation problem for the members of the decorations committee, but they have found a unique solution. Shifts of students are to wol'lk on the decorations. In Left to right. first row: Virginia Bolen, Al Jacobs, Toni Menegus. Second row: Wade Hayhurst, Willard Prater.

New York City. . Claude Thornhill has a long musical background which started when he began to study music at the age of four. By the time he was six, he had organized his first orchestra, an eight-ipiece affair, which played at ice cream socials and oyster suppers in his home town, Terre Haute, Indiana. He continued to .study music at the Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati and followed mh_re of th_e same study at t~e ,Curtis Institute. He formed his own band in 1940 after working as an arranger for Hal Kemp, Benny Goodman, Bing -C rosby, and other orcestras. His career was interrupted in _1942 when he joined the U. S. Navy. The Navy put him and his band to work with Dennis Day 1 as vocalist and sent them on tours of the Pa..cific. Thornhill's classical training shows in his use of two French horns in the brass section. He uses an unusual arrangement of the reed and brass sections where he uses four -trumpets, two trombones, five men . doubling on sax and clarinet, and two French horns.

Council request s you -to select your candidates for Gilnderel!,a and then mail the ,b allot right away, if you have not already done so. Although paid admission tickets went on sale last Monday, Wilkes College students will ·not receive their complimentary tickets for GODDEN BOY until the night of the production, the Oue and Curtain Club announced this week. Tickets are priced at 60c for adults and 30c for high school students. In addition to reducing student .p rices, the Wilkes College theatre .g roup has been traveling to ·many of the local high schools and has entertained the student bodies with several of the Gue and Curtain's minor productions. This policy was instituted to increase the local audience's interest in the legitimate theatre. Rapidly nearing curtain time, the college 1p,layers will stage a dress rehearsal of GOLDEN BOY on Sunday afternoon in the Irem Temple. To be produced on the nights of May 11th and 12th, at 8 o'clock, GODDEN BOY is a drama that presents the youthful conflict between idealism and realism. Cue am,d Curtain believes that this time they ·have a "championship" production and urge everyone to get out and see G'Ol.JDEN BOY. Tickets may be obtained from any ,C&C member or at the door of the !rem TemlPle the nights of the production. NOTICE! Student Council elections will be held Friday, May 12, for ~ext semester's Sophomore, Jumor, and Senior representatives. The voting will b~ held in Chase Lounge from · 9 a. m. to 3 \p. m.

BEERS Coach Bob Partridge ends his 1950 spring practice session today for his soccer team. After a :month, it's all over. It bas been a worthwhile month for the booters. Bob and his rightband man, .R eggie Burrs, have worked· the boys into shape and have put across a lot of the finer points. The kicking has im1proved, so bas the · heading and trapping. Now Partridge is •p lanning to start off the fall in full stea,m. From here, it looks like the 1950 version of the Colonels is going to be a pretty fair outfit. Partridge has seen some good stuff out at Kirby Park these past weeks. Don Tosh, in particular, has ,gotten off some good drives and looks like a sure-shot for varsity lineman. The South American hot tomali, Carlos Ortega, is a regular · cuty with a soccer ball. On days when Carlos is eSlp ecially hot, the old ball even sits up and begs. •Rock y Reynolds isn't too big, but he has all the ma.kings of a soccer player. Partridge is keeping an eye on him. !ck Iokmeter bas shown plenty of hustle for a newcomer and could fit in as a nice backfield man for the •Colonels net y,ear. In the goal, Parker Petrilak has improved every day. Last year's goalie, Charley Jackson, is •b ack, but right now Parker is in the goal and Charley is going to have to do a lot of pushing to get him out. Things are looking up for Partridge. Now if everything turns out as expected . .. 1 ****** There has been some argument. on the soccer team over just who is the fastest man. Carlos has stated over and over again that be can go like the devil. Teddy Cross, one of the cousins of the famed Mr. Norman Cross, thinks that he's ,j.ust aibout t:he swiftest thing alive. Mr. Earl Wolfe disagrees. iHe says that he knows a faster man-himself. But the loudest al'lgument comes from the old •b oy himself, Bob Partridge. So far none of the boys have definitely esta·b lished themselves as the champion. One thing is sure, Carley Wallison and Benny Beers airen't in uhe running. It seems that the soccer team can't do without at least one clown every season. Last year the boys had to put up with the great Mr. Marty Blake-I think you've heard of him. This year Marty is gone and Earl Wolfe has walked in. "Marty" Wolfe would make a perfect Milton Berle--he never stops talking. "Haven't you heard about the time I ran 62 ½ yards for Meyers" or "You can't beat the Yankees; boys." Pictured above are the Wilkes College Colonels who have won 8 games and lost only one.

Piniky, was probaibly better known in high school for his football talents, :but according to reports from stu.dents who played with the Pinker in high school he was far from a "dud" on the baseball field. This year marked the third time for Pinky to report to Coach Ralston as a member of his squad. •I n his first season he spent most -0f the time on the bench as an understudy to Marty Warm us. That year he was used mostly in 1Pinchhitting roles. In 1949 Pinky alternated ibetween second and third base. Toward the end of the season he ,b ecame a regular at the keystone sack and played some of the best ball that was seen at that position all year. This year Coach Ralston had to fill in the hot corner ,b ecause of the loss of Captain Marty Warm us. Who else could he choose but Pinky? ·P inky hasn't let him down either as he has come through with some timely hits ~nd has been playing almost errorless 1ball at that rough spot. The Pinker got a big thrill this year in the game against Keystone College. when he banged out a long single to drive in the winning run. Two-base hits s,eem to be his specialty as he leads the club in this respect. Pinky is probaibly the most determined player on the squad. Coach Ralston can tell you that at times he gets too determined. Nevertheless he is well liked by his team-mates and wm be missed when next year rolls around. Pinkowski, like Alex Molash is a three letterman. H e runs out of the halfback -p osition on the football team, plays guard for the basketball team and third base on the ,Colonel nine. Pinky will leave Wilkes in June with a degree in Commerce and .Finance. Ed Skordinski enrolled at Wilkes in September of 1948 and this year marked his f.irst time to •b ecome a member of the Wilkes baseball team. Ed didn't have too much trouble making the squad because of his natural ability to play ball. Ed currently g uards the keystone sack and is doing a good job of it. His hitting has been good and his fielding has left little to •b e desired. Ed 1played his high school !baseball at Newport High School where he also played basketball and football. "Scubby" also played freshman basketall at Wilkes. 1 To look at his record in ,b aseball around the local sandlots you could easily get the idea he is an old veteran. 1He has played with such teams as Glen Lyon Condors, Hanover A. A., and the Glen Lyon Kanadians. This is far from the truth because Ed is only 19 years old. For the first time Blankenbush and Molash are going to get a run for the Wilkes batting title because already in this early part of the season Skordim,ki is right up near the tOlp in this department. Ed had his biggest d.;!y with the stick in the first college game he ever played. This was .also the o·pening game for the Colonels and in this contest "Scubby" banged out five for five and a walk in six trips to the plate. Truly a great record for a rookie. Ed ma,,kes his home in Glen Lyon CRAFTSMEN ENGRAVERS 20 North State St. Phone 3-3151 and is studying for a B. S. degree in Biology at Wilkes. Skordinski will 1b e around for quite a while yet and this could mean plenty of good seasons of b::tseball for Wilkes College. ****** Al Minarski came to Wilkes College from Plains High School in September of 1949. Al also played the diamond sport. at Plains where he rated the attention of a couple of professional baseball scouts. Minarski was also a member of the Plains football team. Here too he brought recognition to the school by perfor,ming admirably on the gridiron. · This year Ralston was forced to find a replacement for George Brody in the Colonel outfield. Al filled the -b ill nicely and now alternates with Waters at that position. Al was also a member of last year's Colonel football team. On that team he ran out of the half•baok 1position. Al plays his sandlot baseball with the Plains Friendship ClU!b. This Independent League team plays fast company and according to reports out of the club Al is one of their better tplayers. Minarski, like Skordinski, is only 19 years old. He will be around for a couple of more years at Wilkes and this should mean a couple of good season for future Colonel teams. Al makes his home in Plains and is studying for a B. S. in Commerce and Finance. POLICE ESCORT LEADS FROSH WIENER ROAST DAVE WHITNEY Accompanied by a police escort ,and diS1playin1g "Wilkes" signs with meticulously dotted "i's", a merry group left the Wilkes College campus, ignored red lights, and were ·o ff to an evening of enjoyment at the Freshman Wiener Roast last Saturday night. Eating, dancing, and the ingenuity of the A,merican college student kept the assemblage in a happy mood. Because of the cold damp weather, attendance was only about 150 people, · and the entire affair was held indoors, but the students' spirits were not dimmed. Carlos Ortega's announcement in Sipanish, translated 1b y Leo Lesnick, added to the gaiety of the occasion. Special thanks should go to those who helped distribute refreshments, Grace Ruffin, Henri Bush, Diana Campas, Bill Griffith, Jim Gatens, Lou •Conrad, Peter Margo, Johnny Sauciunus, ,Carlos Ortega, Nancy Raub and Elaine Nesbitt. The example of hard work set by Grace Ruffin, chairlady of the Refreshment Committee, stimulated cooperation from these peO!ple. Particular appreciation is due General Chairman, •Leo Lesnick, and the various sub-committees. Henri Bush, chairman of the Transportation Committee, worked with Thomas Vojtek, Irene Janoski and Gerald Blake. Carlos Ortega, in charge of tickets, was assisted by James Polk and John Raykovitz , The Refreshment Committee, led ,by Grace Ruffin, also included Diana ·Campas, Barbara Keatley, Aida Shulmah, Connie Olshefski and Marge Brennish. Elaine Nesbitt, head of the Welcoming Committee, was assisted by Beth Badman, Na ncy Raub, Isabel Ecker and Lois Shaw. -Members of the Entertainment Committee were Sandor Yelen, chairman; Nancy Boston, Delores Ostroski, Milton Stein and Don Tosh.

She will address the Wilkes College students and faculty on the subject " What the West Can Learn From Ghandi." Dr. Nayar is a physician and is taking graduate courses at Johns Hopkins University in the field of child and maternal care. She is also an authority on world health. Because of her activity in Ghandi's non violence campaigns, Dr. Nayar once slp.ent two years in prison. She has lived and worked closely with Mahatma Ghandi, accompanying him on his preaching tours all over India, and actually sharing the last imprisonment with Ghandi ,and his wif.e.

However, the Committee will ask ifor a contribution at the meeting as a way of financing their Peace Education Program. ,D~.

College ·: WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PA. Friday, May 19, 1950 SECOND PERFORMANCE OF "KING DAVID" EICHELBERGER TO BE MUDGUTTERS TO APPEAR IN CONTEST FINALS WILL BE PRESENTED BY CHORAL CLUB ·PRINCIPALSPEAKER MAY 24 ON STAGE OF PARAMOUNT THEATRE AT COMMENCEMENT COMMUNITY CHEST, TO SPONSOR PROGRAM By MIRIAM LONG Because of popular demand, the Wilkes College Choral Club will present its second performance of the oratorio, KING DAVID, by Arthur Honegger at St. John's Lutheran Church on Sunday evening, May 21 at 7:30 P. M. The program will be a musical performance rather than a religious service. •St. John's Church is a large, red stone ibuiJding located two blocks below Wilkes at the corner of Academy and River Streets. Mr. Dona id Cobleigh, director of the Wilkes 1School of Music, wiill conduct the performance.. The drama will be narrated by William Griffiths. !Soprano so'loists include Ruth Turn Reynolds, Nancy Boston, Carlie Jan,e Thomas, and Miriam Long. Helen Bitler Hawkins will sing -the contralito .solos, and Evan Pavker will take the tenor solo selections. Marysh Mieszkowski and Donna ·Cottrino will accompany the group on duo pianos. King David is a biblical drama ·b y :Rex Morax and is set to music by Avthur Ho11cegger, who is Swiss in descent but French in musical training. Mr. Honeg,ger',s works · show evidence .of -t.}le influence of -the modern French school and Debussy, but one is also able to sense in his mu;;ic the sturdy ,element of his Swiss culture. This sense of power 1s especially- evident in his use of sharply c O n tr a s tin g rhythms. Since there are no manuscripts of the music of David's time known to ,b e in existence, Mr. flo:negger has ep.deavored to write music as ·he imagined ft might have sounded [n the time of Davi d.

King Da~id has been produced successfully iby professional groups at such large music centers as Paris, New York, London and the Colleseum at Rome. The Wilkes Choral tC!u,b is one of the few non-professional groups in Ameria which have produced this work in its entirety. Sunday evening will offer the opportunity of hear.ing this work performed in Wilkes-Barre to those· -w ho were · not alble to attend the ·Choral Glub ·C oncert held on May 4th, and to those who would enjoy hearing this work again.

Nayar Tells Wilkes Audience Friday, May 19, 195_0 CINDERELLA BALL COMMITTEES By GEORGE . H. KABUSK Dr. Sushilla Nayar speaking to a near-capacity group in the lecture hall yesterday at 11 o'clock said that the use of hatred has never solved any problems. She asserted thtxt the ·s olution to world problems can be Gandhi's policy of noncooperation and the policy of non-violence. Basically these policies are the expression of truth and justice. :Discounting the annoucement that she was Gandhi's personal doctor, Dr. Nayar ,ex.plained that Gandhi considered notlhing personal; his service was dedicated to the people. Dr. Nayar stated that Gandhi's great contribution to the world was: an emphasis on means as opposed to ends. This was not an entirely new concept but Gandhi realiz-ed that we must dev.elop or find new ways of facing problems. Gandhi was aware of the fact that all people cannot see eye to eye o'n all issues. The r.eal problem doesn't lie within honest and genuine problems but withjn slanted opinion and selfishness. Gandhi knew that wa1· and violence wa,s not ,the answer. "Hat.e kills! Love gives life." With this idea in mind ·Gandhi adapted the idea' of non-violence and non-cooperation. iGandhi thought that with the p o 1 icy of non-cooperation evil would cease to exist because if good withdrew from a struggl e, evil would have ,to stop. Force is only a temporary squelching of evil. By practicing non-viol-ence, Gandhi contend ed LETIERS TO TH·E EDITOR Thia· column is open to any and all readers for their comments.

Gandhi's policies are helping India to pull herself up iby the bootstraps. Dr. Nayar said that all the ·people of India didn't favor a strict non-violepce policy but there were enough believers to a ·rouse a national consciousness of the Briti1>h control. "The forces of love a nd truth can be used to effect in the 'community and can be expanded to operate su ccessfull y on a larger scale." Dr. Nayar declared that we are .at. the "beginning" -we must ex-p lore d:eeper into the field of nonviolence. India doesn' t pretend to have solved all her problems. However, she does believe that she is on th.e right road. Dr. Nayar recommended that if the United Stat e~ wishes to succeed over communism, we must do "a bit or hous.e cleaning ourselves". This sta tement is directed at the th.eories of democrucy.

It was a real pleasure t o work with these boys and' we hope you enjoyed it as much' as we did. · ' ' This year th e Colonels have fielded the best nine ever to represent this college. Up to this date Wilkes nine has won twelve games while drop1p,ing only four. The losses were suffered at the hands of East Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, Susquehanna, and Scranton. One of these losses was erased last Saturday when big John Zigmund pitched the Colonels to a win over East Stroudsburg. · This will •b e the sec?nd meeting of these two teams this season. In -the first engagement Wilkes ran roughshod over the boys from Northampton street to the tune of 9 to 2. L.efty ,Chet Molley took this win and coasted through a neat performance. John Zigmund, the Colonel ace pitcher, will probably get the call from Ralston to start this contest. If h e does start the contest the fireball artist will be seeking his sixth victory in seven starts. His only loss came from Bloomsburg STC in a close contest. This contest will be of interest in two ways. First the boys will get a chance to 1p.e rform before a large crowd of baseball followers , the old canteen room in th e Cafet eria in to a hat check booth. Dr. Kemmerer told ~tudent government lead,ers, "Things that don't accomplish are not worth anything . . If state governmen t 'J)asses legislation then i.t automatically becomes a larw. But when student government passes a law, what is it? It iis something yo u ,ho,p.e ,wi,H !becom e a la<w or will ha-pp,en,'.' h e ad•ded . He said the University's student government sh ould not copy other colleges ·b ut m eet "our own ;p·r oblem.s." He told the governm,ent represen tatives that it was their job to see that t h e campus was kept clean and that traffic rules were followed . a nd second it will give them a chance to perform on a good play- ~ ing field. Both these factors are of prime impo,rtance to the final outcom e of any game and this one will be no different. In one game last year's 'team played on this field the boys were so surprised at the ·billiard-like infield that they booted the ball all over Kingston and losit a Comedy ' of Errors to Ithaca College. L.et's ho1pe this doesn't happen again. The !orig ball hitters ·in the Colonel lineup like Molash, Dragon, Skordinski and Blankenbush will find the fences that encircle the park VE)ry tempting. Only two Wilkes performers ever hit the .ball over these fences and they were Moose Galletta and Marty Warmus. Both of these raws came in the same year and in the same game. This is the year to add to that number and why not start in this game! If tbere is any advantage that goes to a team for playing under the arcs, then King's will have the edge on the Colonels in this department. The Monarchs played Lycoming College under the lights at Bowman Field in Williamsport last week and •b eat the Warrior nine. This edge probably won't mean anything because Wilkes isn't Lycoming and they sup1port a better record than their rivals. f . Let 's make ~his the la~gest turnout ever to Witness a Wilkes 1baseball game and don't forget your stud ent acti vity pass will •b e the only admission to the ball park. After this contest the Colonels will play ;U psala College tomorrow in a home tilt, Ithaca College in a night game at Ithaca on May 23, and wind up the season against Bloomsburg on Saturday the 27th at Bloomsburg.

POLIO DISEASE CAN BE DEFEATED IF CAUGHT EARLY The National Foundation for 1nfanti le Paralysis, noting that polio is striking an increasing number of teen-ag,ers and young adults, issued a message today calling for olbiservance of simple health precaution s by college students during the •h ot polio months just ahead. 1 Dr. Hart E. Van R iwir, medical direct-or of th,e Na tional Foundation, said that a spot survey of the 1948 -polio epidemic showed 25 •percent of the patients were over 15 years of a-ge. Of this total, 18 percent wer,e over 20 yea.rs. Local cha·pters have assisted hu-nd•r e& of college-age polio patients during the past year. "·Only 3.7 percent of t he patients were over 15 years of age in 1916," he said. "This ,f igure rose t o seven percent in 1931 and 15 percent in 1,944." The National Foundation listed five basic precautions for the Mayto-December ,epidemic danger season. Dr. Van ;R iper said they are 'based on the March of Dimes agency's .extensive research program and the findings of health departments,.physicians and hos.p ita,] officials . These are the recommended ,p recautions: Keep children with their own friends -- Keep th.em away fr om persons they have not been with r i·g ht along, es,pecially in close, daily living. Dr. Van Riper said many perisons have a polio infection without show.ing any signs of •sickness, yet may pass it on to others. Try not to g,et over-tired -- if you have the virus in your system, he said, .becamin:g exhausted may briil!g on serious polio symptoms. ZACHARY SCOTT Famous University of Texas Alumnus, says:.

Ahio, the yearboo,k staff asks that you come up to the office as soon as possible and get your pictures if you have not already done so. A formal Homecoming Dinner-Dance and the traditional Wilkes-King's football game will highlight this year's Homecoming Week-end. Buildings on campus are to be decorated by the campus groups which use them most. Chase Lounge will be the scene of alumni regisration from nine until five on Friday-and nine until twelve Saturday. Open Wide The Doors! It is with pride that we roll out the welcome carpet for you homecoming alumni of 1950. As the roots of Wilkes grow deeper into the finn and fertile ground of tradition and spirit and the College matures, you alumni are growing also. The spirit which pervades the campus during this 1950 hom~coming celebration is indicative of the strong and healthy growth of Wilkes in the past few years. Wilkes cannot boast of fraternities, a gridiron machine to be feared throughout the nation, or . a bottomless pool of resources with which it might "buy" its way into national prominence. However, Wilkes can . boast of the spirit of brotherhood on campus. Wilkes can boast of the quality of its products. Wilkes can boast ·of its progress. W elco:rne back, alumni. You are the marks of Wilkes College. You are its products and the examples of its progress. You have a right to feel proud. Many of the under-graduates on campus today will know none of you homecomers. Yet, through your presence and enthusiasm we forsee spirit instilled in all under-grads. And through your contagious spirit we envision even more successful homecoming celebrations of today are the foundations for those .of future years. Thank you for maldng U,.ose foundations strong!

INTER-CLUB COUNCIL BEGINS ACTMTIES The Inter-club council, meeting in the gym lobby Thursday eve'.; ning, November 9, prepared a system for the outside decoration of campus buildings by student organizations for the Homecoming week-end. The council voted that the various clubs be asked through their faculty advisers to pa_rticipate in decorating the 'outside of the buildings. After a discussion on a controversial issue, the council voted to ask for concessions at ' gymnasium athletic events. The members discussed the two new school policies : that all financial transactions of campus organizations will be handled through the Finance Office, each organiza~ tion having a separate. account of its own; and that in order to charge for a social affair at the gym, an organization must obtain ,Permission from the Student Council. The letter-to-the-editor written by Tony Andronaco concerning academic and extra-curricular activity of students was disussed.

The emphasis upon intellectual de~elopment at Wilkes College makes it infeasible to emphasize athletics. It is the belief of the administration and faculty that high scholastic standards cannot be attained when too much emphasis is placed u,pon any one phase of an extra-curricular activity. Therefore, the college .gives no scholarships for th~' sole purpose of encouraging athletes to attend Wilkes College. Athletes will receive the some consideration in admissions, in the classroom, and in the. awarding of scholarships that is given to other students. Should the winner of a scholarship wish to particl~e in any student activity, he is free to do so. In no instance will the continuance of his scholarship depend upon such participation. · High scholarship and good influences will entitle any scholarship recipient to the retention of his award. In arranging for intercollegiate competition, Wilkes College seeks to establish permanent ties with colleges adhering to the same 'policies of admission, maintaining similar scholastic standards, and offering assistance on ·the same basis.

BUT, OF COURSE, WE'RE BIASED It was interesting to us on the Beacon to note the University of Bridgeport's budget. Out of 27 organizations on the budget list, only thtee received over $700. Their yearbook received $1,169.28, the Social Activities budget was $2,736.00, and their 1 newspaper ireceived the tops of them all-$3,694.08 . However, it would not be fair to compare the budgets 'of Wilkes and Bridgeport. Their enrollment is higher and their system of budgeting is entirely different than our own. The interesting point was the difference between the yearbook and newspaper allotments. Naturally, we favor the Bridgeport idea of financial emphasis being placed on the newspaper . . . but, of course, we're biased .

Chesterfield wants ,a mateur shutterbugs to click a series of three snapshots showing photogenic students at Wilkes taking the mildness Test. The Pictures are to be EXACTLY like those appearing in the Chesterfield advertisements in the BEACON.

On the back · of each print, the photographer should give his name and address and the name and address of the student model. If the pictures are chosen to ap pear in Chesterfield's college newspaper advertising, the photographer wins $50.00. The next contest deadline is December 6, 1950. Here's a simple way to grab $50.-00 and to win some national recognition for our school. Let's have a winner at Wilkes! And look for the Chesterfield ad in the BEACON; that's your cue.

Release A ~ormal note will b.e injected into a gala week-end of Homecoming activity tonight at 7, when former students of Wilkes .College and -B ucknell University Junior College will attend a Formal Dinner-Dance in the Victory Room of the Hotel Redington . Music for the evening of dancing will be provided by Lee Vincent and his orchestra. This ipopular Wyoming Valley dance band-acclaimed by many to be the finest in the state--recently completed a six-week engagement at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. A special committee, under the guidance of -Chairman Rau and Alumni President Donald L. Honeywell, has been working for the past six weeks in order to make this part of the Homecoming a big_ success. First F,>rmal Dance The event will mark the first·, time in the history of alumni affairs at Wilkes College that a foTmal dinner-dance has been held. At first there was some objection raised about the move to make the dance formal, but a vote was taken among the members present at the August meeting and it was decided by a majority vote that thi~ dance should be of the tuxedo variety. The cabaret theme will prevail. A speaker's table will be located on the east end of the huge room. The room conforms to the traditional Wilkes College blue and gold atmosphere. It is expected that the guest speaker will be a prominent Wyoming Valley resident, who is extremely interested in the work being done at Wilkes College and also one who is well versed in the benefits of having a strong alumni association behind a growing institution.

The team which will open the season has on its roster eight veterans: Charles J,a ckson, A,l Casper, Eugene . s ·nee, Bob Benson, Charles PetriJak, . Ed Munley, John Bator, and Stanl,ey Polk. Of these men ,only three, Charlie. Jackson' at 6 feet 3 inches., and Charles 'PetrHak and Ned Munley at 6 feet 1 inch and 6 f.eet 2 inc·h es, Tespectively, wiH top the six foot mark. The .situation is much the same among the newcomers to the Wilkes squad with the tall,est candidate scraping the scoring table at 6 feet 2 inches. TheTe are, however, a few bright .spots. The team lacks the tall men who are necessary fo,r the pivot type of court game, 'b ut the squad on the whole has a f.ew members who are within the sneezing distance of the six foot bracket. In additiom, work- outs have shown that the team will have some .sp,eed. · In a word, or a few words, the team lacks a taiH man or men, hut the average height is in the vicinity of .s ix feet, ·a'.nd the team will be fast. The physical qualifications of the men plus the fact that Wilkes :h as a large court might seem to indicate that the 1950-51 1Colonel,s could develop, at ,l east on its home fioor, a fast breaking attack whkh would be difficult to stop. ·F or the past two week•s Charlie Jackson has been ,r unning the team through calisthenics, Hoor patterns, and shooting drills. The squad seems to be shedding pounds and gaining poi.se. In addition, several freshmen candidate have er,al freshmen candidates have shown a grea,t deal of promise. ~his year Wilkes has taken on a comparatively difficult schedule, with teams such a s Temple, Susquehanna University, Maryland State, University o.f Scranton, and Stroudsburg, Bloom sbur,g, and Mansfield, providing better than average competition.

Pennsylvania. The objective of the -Citizens Committee is · to obtain action on the reforms stated by the Hoover •Cimmission, a bi-partisan group having an equal number of Republicans and Democrats. Among the suggested reforms is a recommendation to center the responsibility for administration of all governmental departments and insure increased economy in the government. The reforms fall into three general groups, Departmental Plans This first group includes from numbers 1 through 6. These reforms provide for clearer lines of and Nancy Raub. Clean - up: M a r g e chairman. Brennish, , responsibility and authority in the departments of Treasury, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor. Independent Regulatory , Commissions Plans numbering from 7 to 13 seek to strengthen the internal organization in seven independent regulatory commissions. They are the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Federal Power ·Commission, Federal Trade Commission Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Communications Commission, National Labor Relations Board, and the Civil Aeronautics Board. Miscellaneous and General Plans The last group is of a general and miscellaneous character. It is concerned with such matters as labor reinforcement standards. OvE!r one-half of the reforms have already been adopted by Congress. There has been a saving of over two billion dollars per year as a direct result of their passage. When, through the work of such groups as the Citizens Committee, the rest are passed, there will be an even greater saving for our HAIL TO TH~ VICTORS - MAY THEY ALL "BE COLON~LS The "Old )3arrel" Will Be On The Line For the fifth straight year, the '.\!lonarchs and the Colonels will battle to take the '101d Barrel''. This i1s the prize b,ehind the whole affair. The idea is that the losing ;earn takes the '101d B:arrel" and ,>,aints it with the colors of the winning school, and then it must display it. If King's has suddenly ,becom,e · artistic, it's because they hav.e been painting it Blue and Gold for four straight years.

This party definitely believes that the Adnilnlstration has made a step In the right direction. Somehow· we couid never get around to the Idea that a big ·dumb tackle should drive a new Caddy·· whll~ a college president had to ride with Frank. Frank Martz Uiat ls. Subsld!dng Just doesn't make sense. Why the " little guy" should be taxed ten or twenty' · dollars In his tuition to send some football, basketball'. or soccer player to ·col• lega doesn't quite add up. Education still comes before "character · bulldlng", 10 as the coaches love to call It, though you would som~time do-.ibt It If 'you l!)O~ed: at .~me''c~ileg.es' budg~ts. But Wilkes hasn't slipped to the ' temptation, ·' 1n ~11 , ' . .. ' I ting our policy In cold print, one that goes so far as to ·state that. we1l only engage other colleges that have a similar policy In Intercollegiate competition. Wilkes has stepped up among the best. 11·. good to know that ' ~he,li°"':lrid, Colonel hits his man he does It to "hold that line", and not to hold his•• pay > •• ' "check! The attendance at the Wilkes-Maryland Stale game was nilserable, Considering the fact that (tiere was real. honest.to-goodness ~olleg'e football, lh4! stands should have been packed with fans. I doubt II ol0 percent o_l the Wilkes -student body was there. All told, there probab.ly wer:9n't more than 1S09 fems there. Tomorrow we play King's. For the first time in lour years we're the under, dogs. All the odds have II that King' a will win by 13 points or more, . but , , ' ~ they still play football games on grass, not paper. The Olshan-West passing combination of the Monarchs Is supposed to be something terrific. But Ithaca's great passing attack didn't lick the Colonels. and Maryland State wasn't so hot In the air. So far nobody could stop Mr. Nicholas on the ground. This game could be closer than you thln.k Alter all. you throw the book away In traditional games. Just don't throw it at the.Colonels. Not yet. anyway. · v •, Figure this one out II you can. Maryland State beat Wilkes, ol7-13, bu~ yet the Colonels had more than twice as .many first downs as the Hawlrs , • ; Buddy Young is supposed to be the fastest man In football, but how anyone can bo faster than Swilty Polk of Maryland State Is beyond me. I never saw anyono who could l!ft.them•UP•and•lay•them•down quite so rapidly as this stellar lelthallback. It was a thrill to see him run •• , Alter watching Swllty Polk In action, soma of the boys have compared him to Two-goals Stocker-they both eat fi~t•handed ••. Here's one for the books. Maryland State had 7 TD's to Wilkes' 2, while Howard beat the Colonels in soccer. 7-2. The only difference II that one guy "Judas Priest", while the other said " It Is the policy of this school .•. " . . . Partridge is out to bag that Steele of Maryland State. He's tho guy that took lour steps and then booted the ball 55 yards. There's soccer materia l in the rough .. . ,f or whom it may concern. 60 minutes of tough !ootbal! between the Hawks and the Colonels only produced 2 penalties, J;>oth being off.side calls ..• Out in Arkansas a football coach dropped two flrsl•slrlngers for an unprecedented reason. Usually you'd expect that football players would bo discarded for breaking training rules or ignoring practice. but the~e boys gol the boot because of an infraction that didn' t even concern football-they refused to attend classes. Butt you can' t blame the boys. that probably wasn't is that one guy said " Judas Priest", while the other said ··11 is the policy of this ers, yet its coach announced that he·ll have a "terrific team this year', Will these boys leave the water in the pool? •..

Wilkes, who was "up" for the game, was thoroughly out-cla,s sed by the high-ranking Maryland club. In the second half Swifty Polk and his friends ran things as they saw fit. To hit the nail on the head, they were just too darn good. The Colonels opened up like a ' house on fire. Disregarding the clippings that said that Maryland hadn't b.een beaten in their last 19 games and that they boasted 3 All~Negro All-Americans in Sylv,e ster Polk, Ken Martin, and Bob S,teele, Wilkes took-off. Nicholas and Minarski carried the bal,l forty yards, until they w.ere forced to kick. In four downs, Maryla-nd could do nothing, so the Colonels took over a gain. This time t hey drov-e 63 yards, being stopped on the Hawks' one yard line! Al Nicholas hit Minarski with a ibeautiful 30 yard pass right down the middle that would hav.e gone all the way if s peedster Polk hadn't hauled down Minny. After exchanging fumbl,es, Maryland had .t he ball on their own 24 yard line. "The Milwaukee Express", Mr. Sylv.ester P olk, took the ball and scooted over, around, through, and under the whole Wilkes team to register a lovely 66 yard touchdown gallop. Harris cam,e in and made .t he conv,e rsion, giving the Hawks a 7-0 lead. But the Colonels came back. Two :Straight 20 yard .p asses from Nichobs to Georgi-e Elias put the Colo·nels deep in Hawk territory. Then ·Nicholas brok,e loose, tip~toeing '23 yards for the Colonels' first ·score. The kick was bad, putting t'he Colonels one. point behind. "Baby-fare'' Raikes, Maryland ·S tate's 240 pound tackle, took t he kick-off and tried to pull off a '',Switty ·Polk". Just when fiv,e Colonels were ready to pounce on him, Rail{,es tossed the ball behind his back and Georgie Elias was ther.e to haul it in. But the break didn't .pan out. Wilkes was forced to kick. Polk to,ok Oastle's nice boot on his own 8 and raced it b~c.k 92. yards for a TD. I dare say that Kin~ton Stadium never witnessed such a sp_ectacular run. , _ __ _ _ _ _ _ lf Mr. All American couldn't fak.e them, he · ran rig ht passed them. He made speedster Nicho.Jas and Minarski look like they wer-e walking, he was that •fast. Th,e Colonels got the kick-off, but fumb led on the first play. By now the boys were a little out of gas . .Mr. Polk really drained the tank. But his substitute, Bob Steele, took the ball on the first play and w.ent 35 yards around the end for the Ha•w ks' third TD. That was th e t urning point in the game. From then on Maryland started to clown, and when they clownea they were twice a·s good. They had the -Colon.els in .h ot water and they wouldn't pull them out. The ,s econd half wa•s all Maryland State. Al Nicholas did manage to sneak in a .nice 20 yard touchdown run f.or the Colonels, but everything was Red and Gray. Polk went on to score two mor,e touchdowns, one a lovely 46 ya.r d job, while his buddies chipp.ed in with two mor•e. The Hawks' blocking was sharp as a razor. They ·puLled off a screen pas·s that coaches would say could only be don.e on a blackboard. Their All Ameirican quarterback, Ken Martin, started to flip the ball around something awful. It got so that the end11 were faking hap.d-off passes. 1n short, the joint was jumping for Maryland State. They .Jived up to their press clip,ping·s, and even wrote some ' new ones. This Saturday, it will be King's College ver,s us Wilkes. King's will he out t o tak.e their first victory of the four year old classic. The Colonels wiJ.I be there to stop ,t hem.

"SHE HASN'T BEEN HOME IN EIGHT YEARS!" CHETWA Y -BROA,DKIN Mr. Robert Chetway and Miss Alice Broadkin were married at noon Monday at the home of the bride's parents, Mr• and Mrs. P · D. Broadkin, Rev. M. L. Cassoway officiating. The groom is a popular young bum who hasn't done a lick of work since he got skipped in the middle of his junior year at college. He manages to dress well and keep a supply of spending money ' because his dad is a softhearted old fool who takes up his bak checks instead of letting him go to jail where he belongs. The bride is a skinny little idiot who has been kissed by every boy in towli since she was twelve years old. She paints like a Sioux Indian, sucks cigarettes in secret, and drinks mean corn liquor when she is out · joy-riding in her dad's car at night. She doesn't know how to, cook, sew, or keep house. The house was newly plastered . for th e wedding and th e exterior newly painted, thus appropriately · out t he decorative · sc heme, carrymg for the groom was newly plastered also, and the bride newly painted. RENTED SUIT The groom wore a rented dinner suit over underwear of imitation silk. His pants were held up by green suspenders. His number eight patent leather shoes matched his state in tightness and harmonized nicely with the axle-grease polish of his hair. In addition to his jag, he carried a pocket knife, a bunch of keys, an unpaid bill for a ring and his usual look of imbecility. The bride wore som kind of white thing that left most of her legs sticking out at one end and the honey upper end sticking out at the other. The young people will make their home with the br ide's parentswhich means they will sponge on the old man until he dies and then she will take in washing.

IT'S COMING SOON '~THE CAPITALISTS' CAPERS!" SHOULD GIRLS LEARN HOMEMAKING? IT'S A DE6ATABLE QUESTION FOR SOME New Brunswick, N. J.-(1. P.)-The hotly-debated question of whether "homemaking" courses should be taken in college recei~ed a split decision recently at New Jersey College for Women. The question, "Do you feel you should have taken courses in homemaking while you were in college?" was put to 230 graduates from the classes of 1925 and 1945. Although more than half of the '25ers answered the ques'lion in the affirmative, 53 per cent of the replies from the 1945 were negative. This would -s.eem to indicate .that the more recent graduates have not yet felt the need or else have discovered o th er means of satisfying it. ,Supp-0rters o f "homemaking'' education f o r women came out strongly in favor of their cause. ''Marriage is the most natural career for a girl, yet we give little time to its study," s-a id one. "College, of course, broadens our hor'i. . · z.ons, and as •s uch, gives us a better chance to mak,e a s,uooess of marriage - but let's -g ive future generations some of the ·short cuts." Another felt that "colleges in general are f,a iling to prep,a re o-ne for an all-a<round g-ood married life by not offering more of such cour-ses." On the other hand, alumnae opposed to "homemaking'' courses had this to say: "A liberal arts course should not be crowded · with homemaking courses. A bride will learn to cook when she has to, but if she d oesn't take political science and French or music in college, she may never learn it." • "What is the benefit of a college education if it doesn't teach how to find out and learn without a set of directions 'being handed out?" asked one graduate. "'A t. college ·one is suppQsed rbo learn· how to attack problems, how to think, how to read, and where to -f ind information. With this equip- · ment, one doesn't need homemak.: ing 'how to' courses."

Sta~di'ng, r'eft to right: Carl Scott, Bert Stein, Dale Warinouth, Wayne Madden and �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 12 PROGRAM OF A NIGHT AT AN INN, SUBMERGED, NO ORCHIDS, 1S GOOD Last Friday night, the Cue and Curtain concluded its threeday run of the one-act plays, "No Orchids" by James McHale, "A Night At An Inn" by Lord Dunsay, and "Submerged" by ;Stuart Cottman and Le Vergne Shaw. The three plays were student directed. Don Williams and James Gatens were in charge of "No Orchids", Peter Mergo directed "A Night At An Inn". "Submerged" was under the pirection of Herny Merolli. At the initial performance Wednesday night, the high spot in the evening's entertainment was Andrew Evans' portrayal of Brice, a coward who is trapped in a submarine below the surface of the sea. The role was in direct contrast with the comedy parts which Andy had previously held and he demonstrated in "Submerged", his ability to play-an intense role. Andy received very capable assistance from a group of comparatively inexperienced actors. Peter Mergo was the only other member of the cast who had previously played a major role in a Cue 'n' Curtain three act production. Among the newcomers Bert Stein stood out, and Carl Sott, Dale Warmouth and Wayne Madden handled their parts well. 'n' ,Curtain did their usual fine job of establishing a background for the Wilkes thespians. Assisting Jack Gallagher were Kay Read Andy E vans, Helen Brown, Betty Ann Smith, Ted Blasberg, Tony Andronaco, Helen Williams, Elaine Nesbitt and Johnny Moore. The make-up committee was headed by Peter Mergo, and he was assisted by Ann Azat, Peg Kocher, Marge Brennish and Jeanne Smith. Publicity was handled by James Gaetens, Ned Munley and Ruth Dilley! •p roperties were obtained by Don Stolberg; costumes were arranged by Shirley Salsburg and Murray P QIJ)ky. Bob Stackhouse a nd Robert Ladd handled lighting. The progr,ams were d,esigned and printed ,b y Ned Munley and Henry Merolli. All in all the night's eptertainment was certainly enjoyable and gave evidence of t eam-work in front of and behind the scenes. The Cue 'n' Curtain's motto is, "always room for one more". Any- The play, "A Night At An Inn" was somewhat below the standard set by "Submerged". However, the play contained several bright spots. It was highlighted by the appearance of a green-faced monster. Paul Thomas made a guest showing for that part. The acst included Ned Munley, Earl Wolfe, John Moore and James Gatens. The third play, "No Orchids", was a romantic comedy. The acting was good, but a rather weak plot did not give the cast an adequate oppo:r;tunity to interpret their parts. The cast includued Ann Azat, Helen Brown, Nancy Lewis, Ted Glasberg and Charlie Thomas. All of the cast appeared as future 3-act hopefuls.

He pointed out that Cue 'n' Curtain audiences have been increasing steadily through the years and that he believes that they will con, tinue to grow in the future. Another factor which points · to a record-breaking ~rowd at these two ·']'>edormances is the decision of the Lions Club of Nanticoke and the Hazleton Glee Club to attend in a body and to push the sale of tickets in those areas in gratitude to the Cue 'n' Curtain for it's kindness in lending them backdrops for use in their Christmas Pageant which will be held on December 11.

Dear Sir: I read in your editorial [EntitledBUT, OF COURSE. WE'RE BIASED1] last week in THE BEACON. In ' it you mentioned the fact that at the University of Bridgeport the newspaper receives $3.694.08 and the yearbook only $1,169.28. You said yoµ were in favor of their system of budgeting. Well, Mr. Editor, it is my contention that if all the University spends O? its yearbook is less than $1,200 that publication must look like an abbreviated issue of our night school catalogue printed on ~leenex. The above mentioned $\200 would P,ay for a book with covers similar to ours, and contain therein the astronomical number of twelve pages! The only method by which they could publish a book as large as our past issues would be to charge each .student $5.00 a copy. Would you be willing to drop an engraved po trait of Linco_ln into our hot little hands? Although I can understand your desire to see the .AMNICOLA's allotment reduced and the BEACON's budget increased. we should weigh the values of these two publications which are paid for by the students oj Wilkes College. The BEACON prints news, items of current interest. The AMNICOLA does no! print this type of material.

The AMNICOLA is printed on higher grade paper. and bound with a heavy, durable cover becquse it Is read and reread by the students not only while in college, but long after his undergraduate days are past. It is because of the above reasons that I believe the Student Council has rightly given the AMNICOLA a slightly larger allotment \han the BEACON. Our two publications have always worked hand-in-hand in the past. We should now strive to obtain an increased budget for both publications, not cross pens in an attempt to .obtain a few moro dollars for our respective organization aLthe expense of the other.

THOMAS LITTLETON (Washington. D. C., November 15) Last night I had the pleasure of meeting one of the most sensible and · down-to-earth young actors I have ever known. We met in front of O'Donnell's Sea Grill at exactly 5:30. Believe it on not he was the first actor I have ever known to arrive not only on time-but ah~ad of time. He greeted me with a friendly smile, a warm handshake, and a kind word, "I'm hungry-let's eat." The actor's name Is Peter Conlow, and he Is one of the feature dancers (In lact...:...I would say-THE feature dancer) in LEND AN EAR ,a musical show that has just completed 58 weeks on Broadway and about 11ix months on the road. I chose to Interview Mr. Conlow because I wondered what advice a man. who can project so much to his audience through the medium of dance, would give to others who might want to enter his profession. It wasn't difficult to get an Interview . either. He simply wrote back iiaylng, "Yes, I can sp~e some· time for an interview ••• yotl can lire away while we eat." (Not a gun. dear coeds-questions). In answer to the personal questions put to him, he said: "I am 23 years of age, not married. and was christened Francis E. Conlow. I class all types of sports as my hobby; chiefly, baseball football, and basketball. No one else In my family has ever had a theatrical career. but my dad operates a wellknown dancing sdhool in Philadelphia. I hail from Hatboro, Pennsylvania-a little town about two miles from Willow Grove." In response to my last question. Mr. Conlow said (alter taking his list out of my mouth), "No, Mr. Littleton, I DO NOT dye or use a rinse on my hair." (I discovered that It was my own loot and not his list in my mouth.) . I asked Pete ·about his past experience In the· theatre. He said he did not feel the compulsion for a theatrical career until alter his discharge from the Navy. He then made his professional debut lour years ago in the chorus line of SONG OF NORWAY. followed that with OKLAHOMA. AS THE GIRLS GO, and finally became a feature dancer of LEND AN EAR. That's pretty last stepping · 111 his profession. About the future: "Well", he .s aid. 'Tm going back to. New York. continue my studies, and then try for what I can geL When he says "continue his studies" he Isn't kidding either. In his young · life he has studied extensively under his lather's direction; Ballet under Madam Anderson; and Modem Dancing under flanya Holm; plus having Jaken several 0 ' courses. in singing, acting, and Dance Interpretation at the American National Theatre Wing. Remember the old question: Whlch is more important-the story or the music?" When I asked him this, Mr. C. replied: "DEFINITELY the story. Alter a few performances you know your music, beat, and rhythm; A singer tells a story when singing; a dancers tells a story when dancing. and In order to project proper facial expressions and feeling for the dance It Is of the utmost importance to concentrate on the story." "Of course", he added ,h astlly, "you must never forget the music, but concentrate primarily on th!i! story." From the very first I decided that Mr. C. was a genuine person. His sincere, unassuming manner, his desire to succeed made me feel that he could capably and realistically "cuss and discuss" the attributes which he believed ·a performer SHOULD or SHOULD NOT possess. ,, "Always be sincere. Never _regard your audience as being anything but 'Hep'. Live your part continuously on the stage. Have. ii possible, a contagious personality. Make your audience not only feel but believe that that they are a part of you-and. know yourself. that · your are a part of them. And for go•h sake, don•t be taken up with your own stardom. Remember, you are no more above your audience than they ~bove you. Be humble, polite, and friendly; this above all: Never display conceit or superiority on the stage." Time "marched on", or rather, "flew by", and It was getting late; so ••• knowing that Pete had to ' get back to the theatre for another performance, I decided I had better end the interview as soon as possible. So • • • I popped that debatable question, "What do you think of the old adage, 'The Show Must Go On'?" His answer was much different than I expected. "The example has been set. Each time a star is unable to 'go on', and the understudy takes over, It Is a great disappointment to the audience. An audience pays good money to see the best.
