I College Friday, December 8, 1950 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PA. CAPITALISTS' CAPERS TOMORROW NIGHT - DEBATORS WIN -HONORS NEWS BRIEF ·_Wilkes' Debating Teams Win High Honors; Teams Win "Superior" and "Excellent" Ratings Culminating several week!; of intensive preparation, the Wilkes College debating teams, under the direction of their coach Dr. Arthur Kruger, · took up where they left off last year and compiled an outstanding record over the weekend in two debating tounaments. The Varsity team traveled to Hofstra, Long Island, where it took part in the Third Annual Hofstra Invitational Debate Tournament and the Novice team journeyed to Philadelphia for the annual Temple Novice Debate Tournament. The National Debate Topic, "Resolved, That the NONCommunist Nations of the World Form a New International Organization," was used in both tourneys. The Wilkes varsity, composed of Tom Morgan, Fred Davis, Julian Goldstein, and Ann Belle Perry, won •s ix out <:>f eight debates at Hofstra and placed second 1in the •final · ,s tandings to Barnard and Kings Point, who tied for first with a seven ,and ·o ne record. A de. cision over Barnard, to whom Wilkes lost by the slim margin of three points out of a .possible 12-6, would have put Wilkes .into a firstplace tie with Kings Point. As it is, the team received high praise from the judges in winning over Queens College, Wagner, Seton Hall, St. Peter's twice, and Brooklyn College. Wilkes' only other loss was to Kings Point. The team of Tom Morgan and Freel: Davis, upholding the negative side of the question, added to their phenomenal record in intericoll_e giate debating !by winning four out .o f four, giving them an overall total thus far of eleven wins in twelve debates. In the in'ividual standings, both boys rated 'slliPerior". The affirmative team of Julian ,dstein and Ann Belle Perry, winni ng 2 out of 4 debates, ught their total to 5 wins out their last 8 debates. Last F ebry at the Barnard Tournam ent v won 3 out of 4. They were , a: ."excellent" at Hofs tra. hough the Novice team of John 1rtha, Bill P oltrock, Phyllis Dei,er, and Diane Travis did not walk off with any honors at T emple, their ·p erformance was highly creditable. Debating eight times, they won four contests against Drexel, Georgetown, Brookl · , College, and Elizabethtown, losing to Princeton, Duquesne, · Georl!'etown; and Temple. The Wilkes affirmative team of Murtha and Poltrock received an averag,e rating on all d-ebates of "excellent" and inthe Emzabethtown debate were rated "superior". The negative team of Deisher and Travis were the only ones to defeat the Georgetown affirmative team. It was the largest Temple tournament since the inception of the event,, with 84 teams from 6 states taking part. George Washington University had the only _undefeated affirmative and negative teams. On Tuesday the debating society conducted a forum ib,efore memhers of the Wilkes student body and faculty at the weekly assembly program, using as the topic for t he forum, ":Sihould We Reject . The Welfare !State?'' The program ·was ta,pe-recorded for a future broadcast over W]LK. On the forum were Nancy Fox, Phy.His Deisher, Gytelle Freed: and Bill Poltrock. W.ednesday night, Morgan and Davis j-ourneyed to Easton where · they met the Lafayette affirmative .t eam on the national topic. The debate was presented to the Facuity Club of Lafayette College.

It is with pleasure .that we doff our hats to the debating chili members for their fine work during the recent intercollegiate d.ehates at Hofstra and Philadelphia. Without a doubt, the excellent performances turned in by th~ me~ers, of the teams produced laurels for Wilkes College. Dr. Kruger has done a fiµe job with the group, .and has produced, .in the Wilkes Debating Team, an intercollegiate competitor of the highest order. According to the "Beacon", chaperones must fill out reports after studen~ social functions, down at Wilkes-B=e. After reading the questions I felt they were not complete enough so here they are with the necessary addilions: · · Was there any use of Intoxicating liquors or bevera.g es? (Did they offer you any and why are youl' e~es bloodshot?) Any smoking on the dance ilooor? ·cu so, what brand?) Were there any prolonged absences from the building Including occupancy of ~ked cars? (This question co~cems only -the students.) EDITORIAL NO FAMINE, PLEASE! In our endeavors to obtain money by approacping prospectiv advertisers, we hci:ve been made aware of a significant point. Some businessmen in Wilkes-Barre are somewhat peeved that they do not receive requests to submit bids whenever Wilkes .is out to buy merchandise. Various department store heads have startled our ad-seekers by voicing their feelings in no ~certain terms concerning - for instance - the purchasing of Wilkes sweaters. Apparently, the department stores were not approached in any way. Strangely enough, the critics modified their accusations immediately by stating that the stores probably wouldn't be interested anyway. For all we know, it might have been a ruse to ge rid of the Beaconites who were trying to get ads. Nevertheless, it is something to think about. Wilkes is 1a community college. It should go all out to foster and maintain sound relationships between the people of WilkesBarre and itself. Advertising is bread and butter to the Beacon and the Amnicola. Let's not have a famine! . .. . . The latest news from the "Racquette" is this little item. "The radio announcer was transmitting a play-by play account of the World Series game.

SOPH-FROSH DANCE SUCCESS LAST WEEK Braving foul weatherr, some people came to the Soph-Frosh Joy.Jaunt, hoping to dance, sing, eat, drink and make merry. Most of these people claim they did so. The superlatively executed decorati-ons put the patrons in a mood of anticipation. Many of the men and maidens stayed eager for the remainder of the evening. After a period of dancing to Paul Finley',s orchestra (aided by Stan Miles with his sax), the p,eople gathered around the stage for some entertainment. By the time the soiree wp.s over, everyone was ·g lad that S,kinny E'nnis was Master of Oeremoni,es. Even Skinny's pcresence makes ·p eople feel gay. Mr. Bob Partridge led some group singing and smiled at Mrs. ·Partridge. Flip Jones helped people enjoy the evening and each •other with his singing. A riotous skit enacted by students from Conyngham Hall left grins on the faces of the audience after the laughter ,su'bsided. The skit, written by Dick Glace, was put ·over by Harry Graboske, Dick Glace, Bill Holtzman, Jim Hartman, and Diana Campus. This gave the Arts students, and the science students, themselves, a chance to see the science students in action.

B E E R S - - - - - - - - - The fifth annual AthleUc Banquet went over big last Thursday evening, Giving Mrs. Brennan an assist for the very tasty turkey dinner and a well•theytrled to_ those three good•hu~or men, Messieurs Partridge, Ralston and Laggen, the affair was very enjoyable. Partridge 'opened up the evening by pointing out lo all concerned the remarkable improvement of his 1950 soccer team over tho 1949 one. "Our '49 record was 0-7", said Robert, "but in '50 we had a 0-1•7 one-ah, progress!" Then Jim Laggen said that he dldn;t know exactly -.vhat to expect from his present wrestling team, being that there are lour soccer play.e rs on It. When the booes died down. George Ralston look the floor and held it until baseball. basketball and football had been thoroughly covered. But try as they may, the three good•h~r men couldn't steal the show-Ed BoguJ sko and Al Molosh did that. Big Ed walked off with the Outstanding Lineman Trophy and the Joseph Gallagher Memorial Trophy, an award made to the foot. ball player "who most embodies team spirit, loyalty, faithfulness and competl• tl~e drive/' Ed Bogusko deserved ~ laurels. And then Alexander _Molosh of Brooklyn. N. Y.. was named 1950's Outstanding Athlete 'of the Year at Wilkes College, Big Mo, following 'In the footsteps of Waite Hendershot, Pickles Lewis and Poop Walten1, made the grade In everything-leadership, acholasUc ablll• ty, sportsmanship and athleUc 'a blllty. If you had ever seen him •play shortstop or defensive end, you'd agree that he was The Man In 'SO. Just 'ask King's. Al Nicholas took the Outstanding Back Trophy, going the full twenty yards to tho speakers' table without a hand being laid on him, as per usual. 'And finally, for the fifth straight ·year the Colonels took the Bill Pierce Tro.p hy, which goea to the victor of the Wllkes•Klng's game. That trophy is taken for.granted any• more. It was announced at the Banquet that George McMahon and Al Molosh ha,d been vote4 the 1951 co-captains of the football team, succeeding Leo Castle and Norm Cross. It was generally agreed that the team ihad mad& a good choice _for co-captains. Both George and Al, both ends by the way, are good boysand can be counted on for a job-welld•one. Carl Wallison was named captain of the 1951 soccer team In a post•season meeting of the te'am. Wally has great possibilities-In either direction. One thing is sure, ·th?ugh, he will be colorful, and we do mean colorful. The big news this week is the starting of •the Intramural Basketball League in the Gym. If pre-season enthusiasm Is any Indication of what's to come, then the League should really take 1~e School bY' sJorm. After a so-so intramural football season, which just ended yesterday, Bob Partridge stuck his head out of his office and meekly said, "Now boys, we're going to have a basketball league." The response was terrific. In fact the Director of Student Activities got so excited by the rush that he consumed a bottle of Seritan in two days. Part• ridge ls just shaking off the effect of it now. As ~f date, there are 18 teams of 6 or more members in the League! The Boss has taken eight of the clubs and put them in the Blue League and ten of them in the Gold League, blue and gold being Wilkes College's colors. There w~s _a lime . when Partridge wouldn't bet a busted balloon that he could get together one ·1eague, let alone two, Now if all the teams stay whole, show up on lime, play their games like gentlemen. and don't beat any helpless, referee to a pulp, the first annual Intramural Bosket· ball League will be the headliner of the year;. Partridge is banking on it-if this doesn't work, nc\hing will. Don't feel too . low about the basketball team dropping its first two games. _That could --happen to anyone. But to tell the truth, Hartwick and lthac!l were both beller•than•average ballclubs. Hartwick, in th_e opener, piled up 92 points, a pretty fair l(llal ,even for our dearly.beloved Barons. Ithaca could only got 13 points, but most colleges are lucky lo do that two or three times a whole season. Tho Colonels are a much improved team from the I one that tried hard in '49. . Lasi yeqxr we averaged 53 points a game. That average was topped both limes this year ,and against pretty fair teams at that. 'IJ'.lhy are the Colonels a better ballclub than that gang of '49? Word from those who know is: 1. Team gets a decent chance lo practice in our new gym: 2. Some of Ifist year's bums have left, and the ones that haven't left have been converted: 3. Charley Jack• son did a remarkable job in his pre-se?son warm-up se;ision; 4. A real lighUng spirit has developed: 5. The team is -making Its foul points (topping both Hart• wick and Ithaca in that department); 5. Parker Petrilak Is shutting his eyes now• adayo and hilting the backboard a little more oftener. One thing Is definite-the Colonels are on the way up. They'll be an interesting team to watch. Tha wrestling team has commenced hostiliUes. Their early efforts to whipup Into shape have so far been reduced lo brain•work, or, trying to find some! spot big enough in the gym to practice. The original wrestling room was soi small ,that Monster Eckmeter had to walk outside to scratch his back. There and then it was the lime for a change. The boys are now down on the main floor in a bigger spot. You can look for them to give dear old Wilkes a terrific I . s,czson, or ~t least that's what comes out from the money•boys.

This -q uestion may seem absu,rd, but yet such .a marvelous opportunity _looms upon the Wilkes social horizon, and there are many who will fail to exploit the .advantage of the occasio_n . The reference naturally pertains to the Letterman's Christmas Formal on Friday, December 15, 1950, at the Wilkes gymnasium. There, one will be able to gamer those sweet minutes for memory, fired to inspiration by the mellow melodies of Jack Melton's orchestra.

Y., (I. P.)-Education wilts and dies if the free discussion of ideas is proscribed, dedare·s Dr. John Cranford Adams, president of Hofstra College. Dr. Adams believes that students must know foreign ideologies as well as their own. He points out that those members of the American public who feel that any mention of Russia in the classroom is tantamouI_1t to treason must be taught to realize that teaching an understanding of forei,gn ideologies is not the same thing as teaching an allegiance to foreign ideologies. "I have studied page after page o,f the speeches of Karl Marx, of Lenin, Hitler, and Stalin. I am more convinced after Slich study that such doctrines are not for me and my children. I can read the Koran without the risk of becoming a Mohammedan. In fact, it .makes me more a champion of Christianity than ever before. "We have reports in many areas (sometimes, I am disturbed to hear, on this very campus) that some students a,s well as older persons feel that it is wrong to teach anyone about the t;tature of foreign ideologies. They feel, it is ·un-American to, explain why foreign countries have ideologies different from our own. "They feel it is wrong to have teachers on our faculties who know enough a·bout· for,e ign ideologies to inform us about them and explain their good points and their bad points. How can such attitudes be reconciled with the great dictum: ' 'Know the truth, and the truth will set you free'? This dictum is cent- r al to any tru e system of education. "Are newspapers subversive because they are filled day after day with n ews and editorials explaining reasons behind the actions of our enemies ? And shouldn't the classroom, and especially the college classroom-filled with responsible men and women seeking knowledge and understanding.-offer just a s important a platform fo r under standing? "At Hofstra College a full course in American history is requfred of all students. Our own American ,w ay of life is taught first. Every teacher at Hofstra has willingly taken the teachers oath. And I know at fir,st hand that everyone subscribes to' that oath. "We have, and I hope "we shall always have, persons on ou;r staff who are expert lecturers on international affairs and the various economic and political systemst ea chers wi.th background to evaluate ·the g ood and bad points of each major system, who can explain these good and bap. points without per sonal or professional bias."

THOMAS LITTLETON Well, I went to the New Gayety and met Miss Judy Holliday; i;;he arrived exactly on time. We climbed t.yo flights_ of stairs ,a nd entered a cubby-hole--::-better known as a dressing room. lLhad all the comforts of home (if you happen to live in a barn). . When I asked this young star about her study I got the surprise of my life. "I never did study, either at a school or under a tutor," she told me. This, needless to say, is slightly more than amazing. Most of you, I imagine, have seen the Little Theatre's . production of ".Born Yesterday" starring Catherine Flood. Well, if you have, you may well ima_g ine the difficulty of . interpreting a role such as C'Billie's". -And here, a great actress, one who was cheered by the critics as giving "the greatest portrayal of a dumb blonde in years," telling me that she has had absolutely no training. She's dumb all right-"dumb as a fox." Another fact that may amaze you-she has been in only two plays in her life: "Kiss Them For Me" in 1945 and "Born Yesterday". For the former she had the regular run of rehearsals, but for the latter, anq get this, she had exactly f0ur days. If you remember, Jean Arthur was slated to play the role of "Billie", but she resigned four days before the opening ~ue to "illness". This forced the very versatile Miss Holliday to carry a show on her shoulders with only four 'day's preparation. She did a fine CR,AFTSMEN ENGRAVERS * Street, 20 North Stqte Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Phone 3-3151 job too. Don't believe me-just read the critics' notices. I asked Miss Holliday if she· felt an actress ought to have some practical experience before going, on the stage. She said that; while she hadn't realized it at the time, , the best practical experience she has had came from Night Club entertaini:og. You see, when you perform in a Night Club you face all sorts of competition. The noise, the moving sound; the jibber-jabber, the other attention-getting devices will focus an audiences' attention away from the entertainer. If you can force an audience to listen to you, des·p ite all of thes~ odds, th~n you have the best possible expenence to test your personality. Miss Holliday describes the difference between a regular Night Club · audience and a legitimate th,eatre audience rather accurately Lei: to right: Marita Sheridan, Sam Meline, Nancy Raub, Skinny Ennis, Murray Popky, Peter Margo and Dale when she says, "The first time I Warmouth. played legitimate theatre, after J:iaving played nothing but Night ture is a Heaven-sent gift which Clubs, I suddenly felt a~ if I had enriches man's mind with the bounpic:ked up a 50-pound weight after tiful, -p riceless, enhancing treasure having carried ·a 300-pound weight known as cultural heritage.

Impossible. , There probably aren't twenty.five men who can carry a pigskin better than our Little · Albert in the whole United States, let alone twelve In Pen~ylvapia! Anyone who has seen Al in action once kno:ws that. Just ask King's. Our opponents came up with a number of good backfield men In our games t~is season. but none could compare with Al. Swllty Polk had speed over Albert, but he also had the blocking. so any comparison between the two would be useless. The record book bears out Al's ability as a ball. player. He made 60 of the Colonels' 88 points this season. In four of the Colo• nels' seven games he was the only man to score for Wilkes. Nick made 10 TD's. The ' three other touchdowns that the Colonels made Al was in there all the time. He passed to McMahon and Manarski for two. and set up a l•yard . dive by Picton in the Ithaca game with hi's 25•yard gallop. And then they put him down as " honorable lJlention". From now on they should let Dorothy Dix choose the All•State team. She couldn't do worse. PRESS-TIME BULLETIN!! WILKES BEATS SUSQUEHANNA, 68-47 .

It has been announced that Wilkes College Day at the Blood Bank, is Friday, January 19, 1951 between 12 noon and 6 p.m. Blood banks throughou& the country are depleting their reserve of blood and blood plasma· to the Armed Forces. The international situation indicates that this drain will continue. Even though the Armed Forces continue to need blood, civilian demands have not diminished. This, of course, threatens the ' health and well-being of the entire nation. One of the finest gestures ypu, as a i:itudent of Wilkes, and citizen of the United States can make, is to donate a pint of your blood to the Wyoming Valley Blood Bank, South Franklin Street on Friday, January 19, between the hours of 12 and 6. ·Pledge cards can be obtained through class presidents or at the Physical Education office in the gymnasium.

It is really a shame that some college students . have the mentality of two-year-olds, but suth is the case with certain students on the Wilkes campus. Did you hear the latest? Now they have added a new twist to the old story of stealing books from the liibrary. The latest black deeds are the, heights (or depths) in uncivilized actions. Just this week it wa~ brought to our a}tention that students have been tearing pages from Encyclopedias and biographies-keeping them for future references, no doubt. , What can be done to stop these atrocities upon civilization and the Wilkes College Library? Very little can be done. Any action will have . \o be done by students themselves. Respect for the rights and properties of others is a law which is difficult 1o enforce, particularly in our library where there is no strict supervision"of the handling of books. It would not surprise us to learn that ,this editorial did little good, for very likely those who committed the infantile acts cannot read anyway. Neverthless, we appeal to those of you who can read to be on the lookout for some neuroti't: individuals, disguised in colleg_e clothing, who are suffering from mental quirks. If you spot them making with books like the Johnson office makes with pictur_e s, don't feel the least bit squeamish about d,ra,gging them .to the authorities. •••••••••••••••••• The answer from Syracuse to "what means diplomatic . phraseology?"

Not only did they take a page out of the mighty Baro,n s l>ook; , but they silentlly ·a ppropriated the en ti r e j•o urnal. They scored 101 points while d,efeating Harpur 101 to 73. Everyone from P etrilak to Bator g,o t into the routine. The Harpu.r quintet had been advertised as a better than average team, whic,h had gone to the semi-fin,a ls in a tournament in whi ch Wilkes had failed to place. By all the systems of comparative analysis, the Colon.els were scheduled to sing 'another chorus I of the "Locker R o·o m Blq,e s". However, ye olde Wilkes .quintet seemed to have forgotten the melody. They jumped to an early lead, ,a nd literally ran away from the Harpurians in the s,econd half. Oharlie, alias "Parker" Petri~ ilak led the scorers with 24 points. · Bens,on, Zigmund, and Batr<;mey had 116, 15, and 14 points respectively.

What more can on.e say. The developm'ent of 'Park~r Petrilak as a scoring threat may herald a new, more rounded team . In th,e p,a st, the team suffered from la clk ,o f r ebounding strength when "Big Pa'rk'' sat on the bench, and ,they 1mffered from a lack of inside ,scoring .p,ower when he . played. In the last three games Parker has boosted his average to 20 points per game, and ·has provided m o s t of the teams r e b o u n d strength.

Intramural Basketball League, preserving their undefeated record. The Gophers' most serious threat comes from Moody's Mumblers, 'a club that has won three, games also, but a club that still must prove itself to be in the Gophers' class. The only other undefeated, untied team in either league with a dark-horse chance is tJhe Soph Engineers, led by their high-scorin g ace Joe Weng·y n. Good sec&nd-place teams are the Hotshots and the Missing Links, both having a 2-0 .record. The surprise of the league so far has been the poor showing of the Lemon Drops. This club was rated as a top contender at the b ~ginning of the season, but they have yet to win .a ballgame, dropping three in the attempt. Peeps Garbor and his boys aren't c licking, though there is too much talent on the team to remain in last pface. The Bar Rags have made a nice showing despite its 1-1 record. ,Under the leadership of big .A.lex Molash and George Elias the Rags have turned out to be the foulingest team in the league if not the best. Right now it's a toss-up for individual scoring honors between Jumpin' Joe Wengyn of the S9ph ·Engineers, Jimmy Richardson of the , Missing Links, and that undefeated rassler, George Dvorzniak of the Soph Engineers. All three boys are close in the race, though Wengyri's 20-point' . game average puts him ahead. .' fhe battle will probably last until the final gong. *Rental Servic~ *Ask For The ''WILKES SPECIAL" -PRICED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU JOHN B.

Students are also asked to report directly to the gym, promptly, on the hour. Each lesson lasts 50 minutes, so they will be started promptly on the hour. All other students, as well as faculty members, are invited and even urged to attend any or all of the classes. Each lesson can be taken ~eparately. The schedule, as set up for the week of March 12, will cover 2·3 lessons. First aid instru,ction will be given in this manner once each month, so that by June it will be possible for all students to have been exposed to about eight lessons. These lessons will not, in c;dl probability, have been in consecutive order, but as previously mentioned that will in no wcry detract from the value of the program. . , It will be necessary for all participatjng students and faculty members to bring: with him a piece of cl~th (preferably of muslin) 40 inches square, and a note book. Text books will be available at so·apiece, but are NOT REQUIRED. What you learn here mcry save your life.

Crider Editor-in--Chief The Boston Herald and Traveler 1SENIOR SPECTACLE SNOWBALLING At last week's writing it was intended that the Senior Spectacle would be a single basketball game between the faculty men (the Fearsome Faculty Flashes) and a thousand pounds of senior men (the Hilarious Half-tonners). But the faculty wives have got-ten so worked up over the idea that now they want to play too. The accommodating senior class, therefore, has arranged to match the wives (the Fanciful Faculty Flames) against an unspecified tonnage of senior girls (the Frivolous "51" Flirts). The Senior Spectacle has -thus snowballed into major proportions. I And what began as a game "just for -the fun of it" is now assuming a different light. With the faculty team gradually looking more and more ,formidable, the seniors are beginning to question the prudence of the "half-ton handicap" which, with sweeping benevolence, and nonchalance, -they granted the faculty. It has even been runmored that they tried-<md failedto disqualify "Tiny" Halpin of th~ Chemistry Department on the grounds that seven-footers were not allowed to play in nonprofessional games. H owever, there may be consternation on the other side of Oil.

C. N. Y. te.a m came from the ranks of the country's major basketball teams and succeeded in winning both the N. C. A. A. and the N. I. 'I'. basketball championships. This feat had neve:t: been accomplished before; and the sports writers of the country were high in their praise of three sophomore members of. the C. C. N. Y. team, Roman, Roth and Warner. ' Great things were expected of these three young men and the sports world was disappointed· when, in 1951, ,the team seemed unable to win consistently. . Last week, Roman, Roth and W emer were , arrested on .the charge that they had accepted bribes to throw certain games on their schedule. Three young men had succeeded in discrediting the sport, and had placed their names among, the infamous group of men who are willing to sell their honor for a shoebox full of money. The blame for their actions has been traced to diffeI'errt sources. Many authorities trace the incident to the fact .t hat C. C . N. Y. plays its games at Madison Square Garden. As a result, the players are more apt to fall under the influence of the city "slickers". In part this ex'planation is true, but, participation in sports at the "Garden" is merely one of the factors. The basic cause for a scandal of this sort is the fact that some American colleges seem to have gone out of the ·e ducation business and into the sports promotion business. When basketball players find that their efforts are part of a huge commercial enterprise, there is a tendency to seek commensurate remuneration. When a man is faced with sight of a school which exuloits him, and presents him to huge paying audiences, it is not unlikely that he will wish to share in the financial advantages which accrue from his athletic ability. Luckily, we at Wilkes are not faced with this problem . .The athletic policy of the school has as its core, student participation in sports merely for the entertainment of the student body and for the mental and physical betterment of the athletes who' participate in t!J.e spqrt. Expenses, in most cases, outrun profits, and for the most part, put back into the athletic program for the benefit of the students. Our athletes are not paid, and as a result, are not faced with the incongruous sight of an unethical teacher preaching honor and ethics. We may not produce athletes like Roth, Roman and Werner, and the basketball which accpmpanies such athletes. We. do, however, preduce men like Benson, Davis, Batroney, Petrilak, and Bator who know the meaning of honor and sportsmanship. As this was being written Sherman White, last year's basketball player of the year was accused of accepting a bribe. This incident seems to add another act to a tragic situation, which may destroy the sport. However, we believe that in the final analysis, the colleges which do not subsidize athletics will be the colleges which will keep the sport alive. JAMES TINSLEY .

It is the general opinion that the wrestling •team had had to bow once too often. From now on it ,will be the groaners on ,.,p, . In fact. outside of Dr. Kruger's splendid debating society and the razzle• dazzle baseball club of last spring, the wrestling team is the only competing or• ganization above the live-hundred mark. But the grunt and groaners have not been given a square break by any• body. When the season opened, the boys found that the wrestling room on the second floor oi the Gym was absolutely too small. They were forced to move downstairs and huddle up against a wall wf-h green lines all over It to avoid being runover by crazy basketball players. The union would never ' approve of ~uch working ·conditions. The top.off came when the boys went out and beat ,some ml ghty big schools like ~Jarthmore, Lafayette an<i, ;f:ast Stroudsburg, not mentioning dear old Wyoming Sem, and never even got as much as a howdy.do in certain sch,ool publications. This hurts. And we will assure you that it will never happen again. Meanwhile the 'basketball team had been rolling merrily along, winning one and losing lour and then winning one again and repeating tho process, and receiving gobs of publicity. The hoopsters even drew better crowds. The wrestlers' bee! w~s a justified one. From now on we'll be a little bit laire.r. Coach Jim Laggan and Captain Zip Cromack have made ~e wrestlers one of the State's best, and there are very few schools our size 7,fho could beat us, by a lot ol hard work. Under Laggan's steady hand a numb~r of the boys have improved a hundred fold; Cromack is the hustler. He' s the buy who keeps everyb.odtt- 'on their toes every minute, allowing for a brief pause every now and then for the boys· to criticize the basketball t am. Zipper Is one of the few athletes around this scj:,.ool w ho honestly trys to keep in tip•lop condition. His record of 5 wins, lour of them pins, and only 2 defeats, both of which were lost by one point, ·bears this out. It's the inside story of the Colonels' five wins that makes them the top team In tho school. George Dvorszniak and Phil Husband were both pretty good wrestler~ last season. This year they dug in and sweated it out. Both boys have contributed five win~ for the' Colonels. Joe Stephens came up with a bad shoulder injury early in the season. Fighting his shoulder, a wicked course of Frenc:ih 103, and some .mean opponents. Joe kept hustling.' He' s added 'lour vie• tories to the Colonels' cause. Heavyweight Bob Javor has come ·a long way in !lhaping up as one of the best heavyweights in ·these•here parts. His lour wins certainly put him in the running for the Rookie of the Year at Wilkes, Eddie Davis '.being his only close competitor. Both Joe Reynolds and ,Stan Schlosser were fill.ins for injured me~. Though inexperienced, Joe and Stan the Man have done : a commendable job and they deserve a harty pat on the back. All of Mouse McMahon's blood, sweat, and tears paid.off galore. Though it's still too early to say, Mouse·s excellent wrestling and his ability lo haul in forward passes on the football team rates him a better•than•even chance to cop this year's " Athlete of the Year" award. One always does well to notice things as they happen. So stands the wrestling team. Tomorrow afternoon they finish their season wilh the annual tussle with King's. 'Null said. Tho only pleasant news on the basketball side of the ledger is the lour•man race for top scoring honors on the Wilkes' team. Right now Bobby Benson is leading the pack by a very slender margin. Parker Petrilak. Eddie Davis or Len Batroney might catch him. As for winning ball games, well, we beat King's didn't we? GYM TO BE BUSY SCENE TOMORROW Tomorrow will be a ibusy day for all phases of the Wilkes athletic machine. The wrestling team under the direction of Jim Laggan wm seek their fifth win in the meet against King's College at ·3 :-00 p.m. in the Wilkes Gym. George Ralston's oasketball team will oppose Lyc·o ming College at 8:00 , p.m. The varsity game will be pr,eceded ,by a junior varsity -e ncounter starting at 7 :00 p.m. · Tn last. year's wrestling meet Wilkes handed King's a s mashing '28-8 defeat.

(I.P.)-The University of Massachusetts recently completed a full scale "Anti-Flunk ,Campaign", according to a report by Robert S. Hopkins, Jr., dean of men. The legend goes: freshmen who dwadle while the leaves fall in October are seldom on campu s to view the buds of spring. One reason: too much time devoted to "bull sessions". A second reason: midyear exams weed out scholastic lightiweights. Believing that many students who flunk out of college are lost because of poor study habits rather than lack of brainpower, Dean Hopkins ~eized the deadly "bull session" and turned it to good use. Eight weekly "bull sessions" on "How to Study" were held in freshman dormitories. Capacity crowds attended, according to Dean Hopkins. Students learned how .to take notes, how to budget time, how to •improve reading efficiency and how to plan for exams. , ATTENTION!

T.he U.S. is unable •to strike at its aggressors, since it ,i s difficult fo prove that the Reds are behind the Chinese and North Korean Communists. Ca.p tain Fielding reminded -s tudents that Korea i,s only a tiny f.adet of the g,en,eral p·rolbJem,; yet, iby permitting ourselves to become weak, our forces have fought and fai,led there. We cannot win over communism by defeating Korea, alone; we must control the entire ,S. E. Asia. The mag.nitude of thi-s task has resulted in hysteria and panic in W·a shington, and the ridiculous sug,gestion of dropping the Bomb or aibandoning Korea completely. There are three .final steps. necessary to win a war through orthodox military means: invasion of the enemy ihomeland, des-truc,t ion of the resistance, and occupation. Fielding insisted that we can not fight in a war with machines only, that it takes men! A great number of men would be needed to defeat Russia's large land mass. In the words of the late Teddy Roosevelt, "we should · talk softly but carry a .b.ig stick,'' (our military strength) . .So far, the U.S. has ,been .behaving in •a n opposite manner. Therefore, to defeat th.e basic design of the soviet plan, we must defeat the military and ideological aspects. We can do this by re-establi,shing the balance of power in the strategic positions of western Europe; we must build up the "local" fighting power in these ar.eas. With this done, any potential a,g,gr'.es:S<or wiowld ibe threatened :by immediate conquest. I,n dealing with the ideological aspect, we must substitute another idal :which i,s better than communism and prove that it is better. In this case, the ideal of democracy would !be -stress-ed. One approach would be by alleviating •t he hunger problems of the aisatic peoples. "A man absor.bs his political view not through his intellect ,but through hi ,st.pm-ach." We would have to ameliorate the prevailing econ om i c instbility. Thi,s wO'Uld entail millions of dollars and more effort than is ap~ parent. Captain Fielding concluded his speech· on an optimistic note. He said, "We Americans can still lead the world through a long period of peace without slllbmitting to appeasement and without a suicidal World War .

It . had been one of the plans of the senir class that no one should I-earn the ,a nswers to these , questions until the ni>g'iht of the Spectade. Pressure upon the seruiors became terrific, though. And finally, when a few of the senior cl:a ss m/ember,s were threatened with physica:l violence, it was solemnly decided that for everyone's best interests, the players' identities slhould be divulged. •P erhaps it should be mentioned, fir.st, that at the officials' table, in the capacities of timer and score'k,e eper, will :be f-ound Welton .Fa:rrar ,and Don Follmer, two faculty gentlemen, it is a pleasure to remark, of. unquestionable honesty.

GAME THE OWL WITHOUT AVOWEL TO BE GOING FOR NEW NATIONAL SCORING RECORD Tomorrow night should find the Wilkes Gym packed to the locker. rooms as the Colonels play host to the Temple University Owls in the next to •t he last basketball game for the Colonels this year. The Owls are top-heavy favorites. Consequently, the game does not havt=i the drawing appeal of a Wilkes-King's struggle. However, local basketball fans from far and near will be drawn to see the highest scorer of the nation, Bill Mlkvy. The Wilkes Basketeers' season .h as ,b een mediocre in .. the record book. But the te-am has been able to come up with some atomic perf.ormances which unnerved even the experts. If the Co.l onels are key,e d to the. right pitch the game may bear the earmarks. of a clas,s ic struggle. •T,e mple's record, too, is mediocre. They have been going along with a ,50_5,o rec•o rd most of the ,s eason. It is something: of an unuS'Ual situation since the r ecords show that Mlkvy, the "Owl without a vowel'', is scoring at the rate of nearly 30 points per game. Bill Mlkvy, 6 feet, 4inches, 190pounds, has already ibroken five records. These include: (1) Fouls scored in one season, (2) Total points in one seas,on, (3) Field goals in one · season, (4) Points 1 in a ,s ingle Conventfon Hall game, and (5) Field goals in a single Convention Hall game. Mlkvy, currently the scoring leader of the nation and also second in rebounds and assists, has a 27.1 average for 23 games and if he does a scoring jib of 2ll poinits or better on Saturday night he will have registered a new national record for per game scoring. The mark of 26.8 is held by Ernie Galverly, formerly of Rhode Island State. A junior in th School of Dentistry, Mlkvy crossed the 1,000:point mark last Saturday night when he netted 27 points.

E �-2 ........ ............... ..........................~....-...................................-....~...__...._,.........,..__......_.....,.... ~ EDITORIAL ~ DON'T BE HALF SAFE! In Mobile, Alabama, last week, a 15 year old school boy was tarred and beaten with leather straps by members of a high school fraternity during initiation ceremonies. Following that session he was forced to hang onto a fender of a speeding car while his "fraternity brothers" whooped and hollared and had a grand time. Many readers must have skimmed over that small newsstory with a simple "Oh, my" or "Tsk, tsk." How many persons, we wonder, really caught the significance of that item. We cannot merely cast it off as a case of adolescent immaturity. We must realize that one of the high schools in our educational system was involved, a school supposedly turning out the future "thinking" citizens of the U. S. We are forced to ask the questions; What is a fraternity organization doing in a high school? What. type of supervision does that fraternity have? or any organization in that school? How many schools are there which lack proper supervision and concern for activities, much less the school program itself? How many high schools are taking in immature adolescents and turning out immature adults? · Each of us, in his own little way, can aid the situation. We will be the guiding forces of the U. S. in the future. Let's see to it that the high schools our children attend will be safe . . . physically and mentally safe. TOM ROBBINS Editor-!n-Chie!

He must be capable of f,eeling the samt emo- . tions which run through the plot. In this, Lee said, there is an almost endless variety. Ethic values are paramount in a book's worth . The writer is a teacher. He brings to the fore " new beauties and old truths". The fifth matter which the reviewer scrutin~zes is memorable characteri-zatio·n. "Books," he said, "are longest remembered by their characters. Most of us can instantly visualize Jean Valjean in 'Les' Miserables' and Charles Dickens's 'Martin Chuzzlewit'. Through such recoUections, th,e reader can usually supply a syno,p sis of the novel." The last feature is · substance. Substance sums up tlhe total worth of reading, for it ,c arries a "cargo for the spirit." The art of reading, Lee stated, .r equires time and energy. He said most people who rlaim they have no time for reading could spend a half hour daily. Even a slow reader, he said, could go through . at least 2:5 hooks a year. There are only a do7len or so worthy !b ooks published yearly in each · reader's particular field of interest, Lee said. Thus it is pos,sible for 1h im to read these, plus several others which he has miss,ed in the ,p ast. · Lee supplied the foHowing · figures on the pulblieation of 'books. 1Since the inv,ention of printing some 18,000,000 tities have been issued in the world. Six million of bhese in the last 50 years. Every day in tJhe United States about 30 titles are published. The art of reading, Le.e said, consists of the .p ro.p er atmosphere, the individua:l's capacities and comfort. Albout atm'Osphere he said reading is best ,enjoyed in homes where there are many books available. The lack of books among American families is quite g eneral. In fact, on occasions when a member of the family ,b ring a hook home for reading, it is preempted by the others of the family. "The s1olution," Le,e claimed, "is to hav,e at ],east two good book!s or one good hiding place." .According !Jo survey made by P rinceton, ,books occ.upy a very small place in the averag<l American budget, less than one-onehundreth of ·o ne per cent. -Magazines, movies, radio, candy and tobacc.o rank far ahov,e.

SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED: QUALITY POINTS FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR READING Coral Gables, Fla. (I. P.)-Students at the Univ~rsity of Miami are now able to earn quality points for extra-curricular reading. The ' new voluntary readi~g plan encourages Liberal Arts stu~ents to re~d° outside their major and mirlor fields of study. According to the plan, one-third, two-thirds, or a full quality point will be awarded for each book read. Length, ,complexity, and importance of the selected material will b,e important factors in granting point credit. Dean Charles Doren Tharp ha,s requested each department ihead to compile a list of books to be made available to students. The , hook,s, . charted in order -o f ."toughness'', will stress general, informative material. A student will ,se,e the department faculty for information on books included . in the reading list for that department. The reader will later return to discuss the book :briefly and report verbally on his findings. According to Dean Tharp, "the faculty member will ask pertinent, general questions related to the book,'' and ask no fin~, interpretive evaluations qr · a report. The , faculty questioner will fin- ally forward his recommendation for quality points earned to the office of the dean. Every quality po.int earned will he recorded at. the registrar's office as soon · a,s part credits total one quality point.

St.. �' Wednesday, March 28, 1951 WILXFS COLLEGE BEACON FASHION SHOW MODELS .., INTERVIEW, SENSE By WENDELL CLARK You closed the door behin,:1. you and walked down the hall, frowning _a little, wondering ,why you didn't get the job. It was an Important job. and you ~ew that you were qualified to hold It. You asked yourselL what went wrong? You, and others like you, who fall to pass the test of the Interview, should know something about lhe odds you are up against. Anythlzig can go wrong during an interview. An interview goes sour as easily as a bottle of yesterday's milk. Even a limp handshake may spoil an oth4;1rwls1{ fav,orable Interview. Before you come face to face w·i th the man who may, or many not, give you a lob, look at yourself · through his eyes. What does he look for during an interview? Tho interviewer's basic p11-rpose Is to pass judgement on you as an lndlvldiual. He Is interested not only In your knowledge and J1kill, but also In your personality and behavior. It Is understood that you must be able to do the work, put, equ_ally Important, you must be able to get along with people. The interviewer forms his opinion of you from _your manners, your personal appearance, your attitude, and your ability to answer questions. His opinion Is the' result of many small Impressions which you make, and which, with a little forethought, you can control. For example, if you· dramatize or exaggerate' your accomplishments, the interviewer Is likely to wonder wlhy such a highly-talented 'person Is out of a job. Remember, your Interviewer is a business man who is good at spotting bluffs: he has been bluffing his own way fc:lr years. There are a number of common-sense principles to be observed in the interview-. You should be prompt In keeping your appointment, and, when you arrive, try not to look like a grade school boy entering the principal's office. ~et the interviewer offer· to shake hands with yo.u , and let him .lead {n asking questions. Look at \he interviewer, but avoid staring like a dead haddock. Sit still Don't be a body-twister, a knuckle-cracker, a chair-tapper, an ear-puller, or an Adamsapple-adjuster. ' Be careful of your personal appearance. Sports jackets and T-shirts are no more appropriate for an Interview than a deep-sea helmet and rubber suit. And, in business circles, the hat Is still regarded q!I a mark of maturity. Wear a conservative tie. Loud ties have a hypnotic effect on some Interviewer,, and you want to be the center of attention, not your tie. The Interviewer is interested in what you say, when you say It, and how you say It. Don't mumble, unless you have a ·few radical Ideas to express. Honesty is an admirC\ble quality, but that d~esn't mean you must tell everything you know. The m~n who says spiteful things about his last employer paints as clear a picture of himself a~ the man who says his wile doesn't understand him. Ask a few thoughtful questions of your own/ but don't interrupt. If you d(!mlnato the conversation, you wlll talk yourself right out of \he door. Following thl) Interviewer's lead, portray yourself, as ct- person, by giving pertinent details about y.o ur work experience, education, leisure activities, and relations with family, frinds, and neighbors. Finally, have a g'oal or am_b ltlon which you can effectively put into words. ., The interview Is the critical point in your search for a lob. If you appreciate Its Importance and observe ·Its principles, y~u may walk out of the next office with a satisfied smile on your face and a note In your pocket telling you when to report to work. Ma)ce a good impression: your job may depend on It. Left to right, first row : Connie Olshefski, Diane Llewe•llyn, • May Woy, Jane Carpente;, leanne .. S~ith, Ann Azdt:: back row, Lucille Reese.

Tho word slowly leaked out that the 1951 version of the Wilkes baseball •=m Is loaded. Three freshman candidates w(!re staging a knock-down, dragoul battle for two infield positions. When the smoke cleared away last week. Len Batrol}ey had taken complete possession of 2nd base, and Davis and Trosko wero still fighting for the 3rd base spot. Coach Partridge has stated that the club looks strong down the middle. He added, " Big league coaches say that ,a team with ·a strong 2nd-short combination and a good centerfielder can take a pennant." Coach Partridge certainly has the second-short combin~tion in Al Mblash and Len Batroney. Molash was the mainstay of the 1950 club, and Len B~troney had created a small · sensation with his defepsive play around second base. Don Blackenbush, filled out the "strong center", He has performed on three Wilkes baseball teams and has acquired an enviable reputation as ·a fielder and hitter. The rest of the team looks good. At · third base, Partridge had ct difficult choice. Both Davis and Trosko were good, but both needed experience. First base has been a problem for three years, and this year Is no ex" ception. Bob Hall Is the only man with experience, but the position Jacked hitting strength when Hali played . it. In bhe , outfield the situation seems rosy. Manarslci has. one year of experience and he seems refdy.' Gavlick and Trosko could play the outfield. and Kropinickl alternated as catcher and outfielder last season. Behind the plate is Deschak, who has play ed a great .deal of baseball In a lot of different leagues, Kroplnlcki, of course, did a terillic job behind the plate In ' 50. but he might be need~d in the outfield. The pitching is the same as 1950. but John Milliman has been added. Coach Partridge stated. "I caught Zigmund last week and he seems ready to go; Milliman is also in good shape. Molley isn' t quite ready yet. Right now he could probably go about ' four or live innings. I'm hoping he rounds Into shape soon." The only worry Coach Partridge has in the pitching department is the lack of left-handed pitching. After he got past Chet Molley he found only one pitcher who t-.w from the port side. Joe Sikora throws from the port side. but• he needs a g;eat deal of experience. When you look at the team as a unit. it looks as if it might win _its, share of games, Dormitory Quickies ·. NOTICE!

At the meeting this committee, which has been created to give the students a greater voice in the selection of speakers, entert ainment and so forth for next year's assemblies, discussed plans for greater stu- dent participation in these programs, It was decided that, pending the coming meeting of the inter-club council (this is a reference to yesterday's meeting) a .t which time the prexys of the various campus clubs would be que ried concerning 1he ability of their organizations to handle programs, members of the <committee shou ld, in the meantime, gather ideas from the student b~dy itself for an increased number of s tudent ass emblies in the 1951-52 school year. It is believed that the creation of this Student Assembly Committee will serve two prime function,: (l) to give ~he student body an opportunity to make felt its 1 desires concerning the selection of programs, thereby increasing ,student enjoymenl of these p rograms, a'nd (2 ) to pave lh!! way for a broadening of student participation in assemblies which also tend to raise student enthusiasm for these required assemblies. Classes, clubs, or even groups of students are to be encouraged to put on programs. The committee wants to have completed at least general tentative plans for next year's program by the e nd of this s emester. All proposed _assemblie s w ill have to b e cleared by th e committee. Anyone who desires fur\her information or 'who has an idea for a program should contact Mr. Partridge or any memb e r of the committee. The permanent membership of this committee sh all consist of the fol.lr class p residents, one representatives of the inter-club council, plus four members of the s tudent body who sihall be named by the other members of the committee. 1'his year's members are as follows: Vester Vercoe, :\lob Eltus, Lou Bo;,anni, Dave Whitney (ch!=lirman), Al Wallace, Mike Lewis, Jean Helms, Sharon Dotter and Jane Carpenter.

The stall met at various and sundry spots and proceeded at various and sundry hours to the appointe1 camp equipped to the hilt with cameras, axes, funny papers, search-lights and a .405 Winchester, H & H Magnum caliber gun -but no sugar, ' . No one was hungry on their way up. We all vowed we had a heavy lunch and were lull up to here. But once there we began to immediately forage for food, Gloria Chiloro, chairman and thoughtful hostess, displayed her culinary skill by splitting hot dogs, filling them with cheese, wrapping them in bacon, sticking them with ·toothpicks and cremating them over the open lire-place. The only co~plaint in the process of wolfing was: "This dog had bones", by people who had forgotten to remove the toothpicks. After everyone had satisfied the inner man we split · into three groups and set out in di~erent dn;ections . . . not to hunt for the buried wealth of long-dead p~ates, but to "lay up treasures in memories where neither the rust nor · the moth doth consume." .

Refreshingly enough neither the President nor the Genaro:] came along. No ·one was psycho-analyzed, we did not look for motives and only occasionally did we stop to think about split infinitives when we remembered the presence of Mr. Foxlow, who puffed contendedly on his bowl. All along the stream, silent and hopeful men , were fishing for trout. Mr. Myers, head librarian at Wilkes College, remarked that the reason the men couldn't catch any fish was that the government sent out postal cards to all the fish stating that the hunting season ended as of Saturday and from Sunday on the fish were on their own. Wade Hayhurst and Vester Vercoe tried to catch the fish by hurling huge ro cks -into the water in imitation of the Greek Discus throwers. The fish, at a safe distance, flipped their fins and murmurred: "A couple ol throwbacks from the Cenozoic Era," · Midway we rested on a moss covered ledg~ above the roaring river. In no time at all we had two water accidents. Topsy, Mr. Myers' wi~e-haired terrier, fell in headlong into th~ turbulent stream while attempting to lap up some water . . .There was a surprised and reproachful look in the canine's eyes as she crawled out and promptly proceeded to shake off the icy water indifferent to the feminine shrieks that pierced the air. Amid all this confusion Romayne Grornelski fell into the water. But what shall mystify everyone to their dying day was · why Gloria rnurrnurred: " Thank God! " at this unfortunate incident. We were anxious to get back to the cabin, but it wasn't until we observed M1, Myers, our gide, flipping a coin at a fork in a road that our worst fears were realized. The more realistic members of the party began picking red berries andstoring them like mad in every available pocket.

PHONE 4-4651 EXT. 19 Member Intercollegiate Press , TRIBUTE Students of Wilkes College had the privilege of h earing Mr. Harold R. Isaacs, noted correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, speak before t he ·a ssembly on Tuesday morning. The speaker spent nine years studying problems in the Far East. where he viewed Chines.e and 1-~ dian situations at first hand, Mr. Isaacs served as war correspondent for Newsweek magazine d uring World ·W-a,r II and in addition, he wrote several books dealing with Asia. Mr.' Isaacs conf.ii1med -t he fa ct that there is a current cloak of confusion over the world today in matters pertain-i ng to the Far Easter.n Policy, 1-t h overs about the fi gure of General MacArthur and his idea on what to do in A sia; it ·is a controversy wrapped up in the domestic poUtiool situation of our country a nd the military issue of M-ac•Arthur. Mr. I saacs insisted that we must n o.t let th.is controver-s y cover up t he r,eal, und erlying problem in our relation to w ·e stern E'urope. H e said .that we JllUSt not let prejudices and h igh emotions prevent our .s eeing the world situation in reality. He stressed the point that we cannot afford t o let "domestic partisan politics endanger our country or force us to take drastic steps that would prove irreparable." .Mr. Isaacs concurred that the main · 1ssue arose from the Pres.ident's speech, in which he and , his Administration announced their belief that th e war can and shou.ld be limited to Korea; that the U. ,s. can find a way out of -the conflict without reverting to further hostilities or a possible third world war . Friday, April 27, 1951 Theme For United Nationalities Pageant America is the realization ot' a dream of freedom on the part of all men, of every nation. The dream does not · belong to any one peqple, to any' one land; as if is shared, the dream grows and enriches life. People everywhere must continually respond to the principle that the destiny of mankind is determined by what happens to one man; that enslavement of one person, one race, one nation dimi:mishes . freedom for all men; that the dream of freedom is not dn act of law, but an act of faith. The purpose of the pageant is to demonstrate that this nation is a projection of every man's, every nationality's dream; that the songs and dances of each nationality reflect the devotion of its people for a great dream: the liberation of the human spirit imprisoned by the treatment of inhuman beings. - ALFRED GROH We like the intellectual beauty that yoH. possess. We UKRAINIAN DANCERS ON PROGRAM admire the bit of truth that you are. We respect you beca:u-se you know what you are and because you try to be what you are. Generally s.p eaking, this is how some students of Wilkes College feel about Dr. Frank J. J. Davies.

EDITORIAL Work Together We wish to congratulate the members of the Letterman's Club for the fine work which they did in p resenting the April Showers Ball. ' ~· On the last page of the program, the Lettermen addressed a message to the students. They thanked all those who had attended and urged attendance of the Cinderella Ball. It is an example of the type of spirit which will break down the "isolationistic" feelings of some organization_s. Chet 'Malley, a member of the Letterman's organization stated, "It's about time that the clubs on this campus begin to work together.". Congratulations, Chet and members of the Letterman's Club for taking another step towards the "work together" goal.

OF ARTl£LES BY SENIORS Chambersburg, Pa., (I.P.).-The experimental curriculum at Wilson College, which made its bow to general education five years ago, is the subject of a series of articles by senior students who have participated in it for the past three years. The two J:?asic principles of the program include: 1. The freshman year shall ground students in some things a\l need to know; 2. Before choosing the field of conqmtration, and later side by side ,with it, the student shall round out her education by an independent redding program under guidance. · Evaluati-ng the progriam, the sel!l.ior experimental students declare that "most valuable of all, the program does fulfill its purpose of interrelating and SUiPplementing the oou11ses of the regular college pro·giram. Dur.ing -our fresh:man summer,' for example, we read :Some of the great narratives, from -the ancient epics to the- modern ·noveJ.s. During the ·sophomo·r e sum·meT we were introduced through ,owr reading to our fields Off concentration and also to biograp_;hies, essays, letters and other books refleeting the American lif,e and ·heritage. "The junior summer reading is devoted to abstract thought and incl,udes not only philos,o phic treatises but a1so great novels and poems of philosophic content. Tlhe ,s enior reading cours·e, the culmination of the p rogram, serves to supplement the coll ege study. The senior reading program is comipen0 satory and gives an opportunity for an introduction to course.s which the student has been unable to take. "11he summer reading l>ridg,es a gap between one academic year and the next, providing us with worthwhile reading for the summer mo,n ths and the priomise of stimulating conferences with faculty members and other students on our return to school. "These conferences .h ave b.een one of the, mo.st welcome feature·s of the pirogram: they . have giw.m us ,a .chance to discuss our reading with the faculty in a very informal manner and have, in some instances, noticeably aided the mutual understanding and respect of faculty and students.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. : Reed Pelto':1 Travis, of Kingston. Conover judged the contests on the basis of photographs sent to him by John Guerra, editor of the yearbook. In his reply to Guerra, Conover said he· found the selection of. the Campus Queen difficult in view of the keen competition. "However", Conover wrote, "the pictures of the 25 coeds were judged by the process of elimination. Miss Travis and the five runners-up were chosen for their wartnth, personality, and for a natural. outdoor look rather than for glamor and sophistication."

THREE-HOUR ·SESSION AT CAFETERIA; MUCH LEFT UNSAID AND UNACCOMPLISHED ' system on campus, the student constiThe communications tution, repres~ntation in the council, the activities' philosophy, the role of the "class" at Wilkes, and the mystery of the disappearing activities funds in past years were some of the chief topics brought up at a teacher-student dinner last Tuesday evening in the cafeteria. Leaders of all campus groups were invited, as were administration members and advisers to student activities. The three and a half hour dinner-meeting provided an opportunity for many constructiv,e sugg,estions • to be presented about campus p,roblems, but at the same time, left much unsaid and unaccompli-shed. "Glittering gern.eralities" were toss,ed about with abandonment. The topic most discussed and which recurred time and again, was that of the student government, its powers, constitution, and representation. Dr. Hugo Mailey's call f.or a more representative group was met with varied r,eacti:ons. iMr. Alfred Groh felt that c,o n,s truction of a definite philosophy and purpose of activ-ities should come be:fore ·cons1truction of a more effici.ent governing organization. Dr. Eugene ,S. Farley made clear the differences between th,e old and present student constitutions. The old constituti-on called for clu'b ·r epr,esentatiVes to be voting members of the council. The president of the coLleg,e ,h ad v-e to p,ower in the old constitutiim. In th.e present constitution, co,~•s tructed in about 1945-46, the pre'.s i-d.ent has no veto power. N or is any club repr esented on the council, except by chance. It wa,s pointed otrt t hat at one t ime the student council spent $312,000 in one year. It was at a time when the ,earlier cqnstitution was in ,effect. A]tho ug,h it allowed vetoes and more administ!'lation contl"ol, there was more cooperation and closer cont/let between adminis tration and student activities. ' Dr. Farley ,s tated that the college policy fa built upon the 'marks of an .educated· man'. Any activity on campus which follows those marks, •or any -o ne of them, will receive the full sanction and cooperation of the ad,ministration. The statement sprang from t he discussi,o n of th.e Junior - Senior Party at .the American Legion Home which was alleg edly "frowned upon" by the administration. Mr, Ralston settled the i-ssue by ,saying tha_t the party was not so much frown.ed upon as "not. smiled 1 upon". , From thes•e central ideas came many alHed and foreig,n suggestions which went around and around. 'T,h e cycle of discussion repeated itself once o,r twice before any indication that those present realized the discussion was getting nowhere - sl o,w ly. Almost everything on campu.s was touched upon at one point or another. There was even a plug for the Cinderella Ball. The inefficiency of ,t he campus governing bodies was one point gen,erally agreed upon by those present. "There are too many groups," said D,r. Mailey.

Announced; May tWas Success Day Members Listed AT 2-nd ANNpAL LABOR-~ANAGEMENT FORUM· . May 1st was "success day" for the students and faculties of this country's colleges who worked last Fall for the CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM. For on May 1st a great new radio station was opened in Germany, by Radio Free Europe, to beam straight at Czechoslovakia. The new station is the direct, tangible · result of the CRUSODE FOR FREEPOM. Day by day, it will be on ·t he air, helping to undermine Communist influence. It is an dchievemeht in which college men and women can take special pride. When General Lucius D. Clay last Fall issued his special Message to College and University Students to join the CRUSADE, student and faculty bodies alike were quick to respond. Their enthusiastic support played a vitally important part in making the CRUSADE FOR PREEDOM a success. In the brief space of s,even weeks Last fall, 1-6 million Americans joined the CRUSADE thereby signifying their .r ealization that unless -Communism is energetically countered, it will inevitably destroy freedom everywhere - even in America. The one and one,third mill-ion dollars contributed during the ORIUIS,AJDE was us.ed to build the new 'station. The four transmitter towers · of the station are located in the quiet vi!l-age of Holvkirchen ·i n the foothills of the . Baviarian Alps; the three story studio building i,s in Munich. '.Dhe f.ace of the building bears , a bronze plaque with these words·: "'.Dhiis voi-ce · of freedom made possibl,e by -the contributions of 1.6 million American citizens to the 19-50 -CR!USA'D.E F O R FREEDOM.''

There were 1many votes c a s t from the -present Freshman and Junior Classes, but the 1S ophomore Cla-ss voting was very low. The members of t he Ta,'bul-ation Committee for the election were Robert Eltus, Julian Goldstein and Lou Bonanni.

"Industrial warfare will plague America until leaders of labor and management unde~stand and respect the survival needs of each other," stated moderator John Reilly, economics instructor at Wilkes College, in opening the 2nd Annual Labormanagement Forum last Monday evening in the Wilkes Science Lecture Hall. The topic was "Laber Relations Are Human Relations." ' A. L. Weg,e ner, Director of Labor Relations for the So.rdoni Enterprises, .represented m an a g ement, and Charles Sabol, unio.n representative of the T e x·ti 1 e Workers of ,Am,erica, p,11esenited. ,t he labor viewpoint. Wegener, once .head of the NnternationaI Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union, stated that good relations with all employees is necessary in any plant. "One employee i-s like a cog on a gear," ·said the former representative of E'. C. A. The whole .system d,s disrupted if that one employee is not · satisfied. Employees should be treated with understanding,"' he avowed. ''I like to think of all workers as associate workers, wo.rking with and not for the one in charge," contended !Wegener.

Blue and Gold Seeks First Win Aller Losing Tough Batlle To St. Francis By HANK NOV AK _ Tomorrow ni•g ht at 8 in Kingston Stadium, the Wilkes Colonels usher in fhe first home ,g ame on their 1951 grid schedule when they iplay host to the invading Purple Knights of the University of Bridgeport. The Ralston-men, still smarting from the 12 to 7 defeat handed them last week by St. Francis, will be out to 1break into the winners 'column and' consequently 'hand the Purple and W.H.ite from ,Connecticut their first defeat of the season. .For fubher incentiv~, the Ooloriels can just cal! to mind last yeai·'s fray when Bridgeport ran •r oughshod over the Blu,e ,a nd Gold t o the tune of 25-13. The last time the Knights tasted defeat at the hands of Wilkes was in the first meeting of the two teams, when the .sensational 1949 Colonel aggregation flattened them by a 2113 S'core. Coach Ralston has been wor,king hard with his team in preparation for the third clash between the two elevens. The greater .portion of the Colonels' offensive will again -be cent,ered around those two -s terling backs, Al Nicholas and Eddie Davis. Nicholas, one of the greatest ball ca·r riers ever to wear the Blue and Gold, will be, with the proper support of his team mates, working hard to surpass his 1950 g ridiron achievements One can remember that it was aga·i nst the U. of B. last year tha,t Al played one of his greatest games, and although Wilkes . lost the contest, Al consistently wreak ed havoc on the Purple Knights all evening. Eddie Havis, a Plymouth High AN-Scholastic pr-o duct again will te counted on for some flashy ball toting. Davis, who runs from the fuHback position, made the only touc:hdown against the Frankies last week. The probable offensive team looks somethill'g like this: Ends, J-Olhn Strojny and Co-captain McMahon; tackles, Ray T-a it and Frank Radaszewski; guards, Dan Pinkow:Slk:i and Gene .Snee; center Joe Yanovjtch; wingback Bill Veroski; fuUba·c k Eddie Davis; and tailback Al Nicholas. 1 Beacon Cabarel Parly On The Way; I.

College Men Can Buy ROOTERS BOUNCED 'Inside' Dope On Co-Eds BY F&M 'DIPLOMATS' New Haven, Conn.-(LP.)-Since so many, college men spend both time and money on weekends at women's colleges, a group of Yale ·students have now compil,ed a handbook to help the young ·m an when he dates a college girl. The book ·is called "Going Places'' and is a :guide to 20 Eastern women's colleges. There is a map of eac,h campus, important telephone numbers, details about curfew, as well as a critique of nea:rfby res.tau.rants and nightclubs. lGeorge P. Craighead, '52, of Detroit, Mich., is editor ?f the Yale' board that .prepared tlie handbook which they plan to sell for one dollar to c~llege me througihout the East. ' 11hformation about each women's college co.mes directly from the college officials," he ex,p lained, but added that his bQard did not stop there. A:bout 40 college girls from the 20 colleges supplied "inside" facts albout their own campus to aid visiting men. Of th.e 20 colleges outlined, 19 are real schools, the twentieth is mythological. The editors have created 8- non-e:x;istant · woman's college locat,ed on a non-existant hill in New Hampshire. Life there is ea13y and the regulations lax, and the ed•itor-s are hoping that the 19 ooher colleges may follow suit. FROM THE S10.ELINES By BOB SANDERS Opener: fl'he Colonels emerg~ from a losing game with a winning attitude ler their belts after th1i "Frankie" ,g ame· last Saturday night when { dropped one of the toughest games ever encountered by the Blue .i Gold. The main xeason for the loss is not :becau:se the Colon,els ·e outplayed but because of two of the flukiest plays eviEir witnessed any football fan. !How many times in your life have you seen a hack run the ball back 174 yards on a ki~k-off and th.en score on a play or two later? How many times have you seen a punt lb'locked near the end zone in the closing minutes of play? (How many times .have you seen a punt ,blocked, PERJJOD?) The Colonels and their coach are not the ones to gripe about losses beca.us,e of losing to a ·better team. The .p oint remains that St. F'l'ancis didn't have ,anything to talk a,'bout ,except an ability to play hard football. Wilkes earned its touchdown on a sustained 65 yard drive. Tha:t .is real football! Chalk up the Frankie game a~ a ·win and not a loss becaus,e the win for St. FTancis Wl}S only due to the courtship of Lady !Luck. Resuts of the Game: Al Nioholas suffered a broken nose resulting in two beautiful blue ,eyes ....George Elias lost his ma,rbles for a few minutes .. .. Ed Ed,g erton's k:hee swings in both directions .. ..manager Lou Steck finally recovered from a case of jangled nerves. Coming Attractions: ,Saturday night--;Brid'g,e,p ort University! Nicholas will play despite his Saturday injuries and will probalbly be fealJ.'ed bby the opponents. After last year'.s game, the Bridgeport coach gave Al the game football ,wi'th th.e colll/IIlent that he deserved it for the game he played against the New England squad. Bridgeport is looking forward to this game ·because they now st.a nd one and one with Wilkes College on the ,g -ridixon. Last year, th.ey won the game on sn!IIP'Py ,b ootleg plays pulled off lby a back named Longo. This will be one of the games of the year. From the Sidelines : From all corners it seems that th,e Wilkes line is in fairly goocl shape excEffit at the middle positions. •St. Francis scored both of their goals through the Wilkes forward wall plus the facl that they blocked a •p unt throug-h that area. I.f the Colonels can strengthen ~he middle of their defens;e, they should be abble to ta1ke almost all of their o,p ponents; The backfield is the main plug of the attack. Edd,ie Davrs came into the limelight with his TD on Saturday night and with the 814 yards he racked up from the line of scr-immage. Nicholas piled up 144' yards from the center slot. New.com.e r: In the event that Nicholas is pulled out of a game, Wilkes has a replacement who has .a lready won honors as an ·athlete here at Wilkes. Len Ba¢roney showed his '.s kill at basketball aJJ.d !baseball last year. Now, he's out for football working at the tailback position with Nicholas. Batron,ey won honors with Wilkes-'Barre Township as a halfback in tbe Luz.erne County League while in hi-gh school. At last, maybe N•ioholas can rest once in a while. To the Freshmen: .How a!boµt turning out for the game Saturday night? Although you won't ,b e playing, it would sound good to hear a little cheering and team support f.rom the stands. Most of you have never seen a singlewing in operation in football so this is your chance to watch how a hard ~unning outfit operates . . To the Soccer Players: How albout winning JUST O:NCE? e by Paul B. Beers Hopes of turning over a new leaf 'by startinig -o ut a soccer s,ea.son with a victory went down the drain very !fa:st when our .ColOOJ.els were ·b ounced and bounced good in their 1!}51 opener last SatuTday, 81:1, by Franklin and MaMhall. It wasn't ,even close. The ,r eferee's wihistle was stiU vibrati,ng from its opening shrill l'\1\,·hen the Diplomats dumped one throwgh Wilkes' .g oal. Seconds later they canned .things with another one. But like all Lancaster gentlemen the tDi;plomats didn't want .t o ru1b it in, 50 tlley waited d'iv,e minutes to taUy their third goal. Just for fu,n they ·a dded a fourth ,a minute or ,so later. It was all so easy. 'B y then the Colonels were a !bit -sha'ken up, so to sipeak, and ' bhey settled down to the task at hand. One unrudely F and M'er was caught elbowing Lefty Kemp in the penalty region. Cent,er halfbaC'k Flip Jones took .t he 12-foot penalty shot and bl,asted it toward a: far corner of :the ,g oal. The ball !bounced of!f the goali,e's knee, Lefty Kemp ibounced into the .g oalie, and amid all the bouncing rookie Jim Hartman ibounced the hall into the ,g oal. The Colonel,s n,eveT were able to score again. 3 THE VARSITY LIMP By PAUL B. BEERS Don't cut it of!f, Doc! Much aching and groaning can b,e heard these days i n the disting.u ished clwbhouses of the football and soccer teams. In fact, with the atmosphere of ta'Pes, bandages, wintergreen oil, braces, and horr~ble 'b,elJ.ows, the clu,bhouses are 114)'1; to remind one mor,e of a hospital ward than a locker room. And rig<htly so. A loO'k at the personnel of the football and soccer teams shows everything from colds to ,bust,ed beaks. As of yet no maternity cases have been reported·. . Here',s· a modifi,ed version' of. the medical report for the pa-~t ,,week. Al Nicholas has a broken and two · beautifuil shiners. Joe Yanovitc~, first string center, is cut up some. Co-captain George Mc!Mahon is .out for the season with a little water on the knee. Georgy E.1ias suffered a slight concussion last w,eek against St. Francis and is slowly turning punch, .so saith the reports. Leo Solomon has a very sore sniffer, along with Ray T-a it and Al Wallace. Ed Edgerton has a real varsity Hmp in a stiff leg. End John Strojny has a bad a nkle. Shell-shocked Gritsk'.o has a puffed lip. Dan Pinkowski is still groaning and moaning a:bout his sore back. Dick Scripp has a hurt horseshoe muscle. Al Molash and Frank Rad'asz.ewski finis·h things UiP with colds. Incidentallly, first string end Bill Morgan, the .s mallest man on the squaJ is in perfect health. T.he situation isn~t quite so bad on the soccer team. Flip Jones pulled a leg muscle 41 ·t he F and M game, ,b ut looiks good for this week. Captain '.l'oo-.Long Wallison has a sore foot.
