Member Intercollegiate Press BDITORIAL WE POINT WITH PRIDE Our debating society, under the direction of Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, has proved its worth to · Wilkes College. A finer, more thorough public rela-tions job has never been done by any other campus organization than the nationwide spreading of Wilkes' greatness through the excellence of our debaters. At the recent Brooklyn and Penn State tournaments, our dis- putants amazed the judges with their effectiveness of presentation, argument and clarity of organiza,tion, development of evidence, adaptation to the opponent's case, rebuttal, and ability to clearly define the issue. , In the Brooklyn Tournament our logicians tied with Notre Dame for first place honors in a contest involving 52 ' colleges . and universities, including Army, Navy, Fordham, University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Tech, and Colgate. At the Penn State tournament the Wilkesmen took a firm grip on keen competition and skyrocketed their score to an incredible l 00 per cent victory. Only Mother Nature could stop the group's rapid climb toward final first place honors. Now a part of Wilkes College history is the fact tha·t an unexpected snowstorm prevented the debaters from returning to the tournament for the fourth ro~d to defend their 6-0 record. In saluting the Debating Society it is only proper that the Beacon direct its praise to the five persons immediately responsible for the group's overwhelming success: Dr. Kruger, who in addition to his teaching committments and yearbook adviser duties is . taking time out to develop the talents of the deba,ters and to accompany •them on tournament trips (Dr. Kruger, incidentally, is the founder of the Debating Society), and the debaters themselves: Fred Davis and John Murtha, who have proved their abilities to contest with words, to handle brilliantly the negative side of a dispute; James Neveras and James "Roxy" , Reynolds, who have scored highly for their abilities ~o copy the affirmative. The Beacon feels that the Debating Team's phenomenal soar to success is only· the beginning. We are certain that the group will continue to rise in pres·tige and popularity, and are confident that the Wilkesmen will place high among the 28 colleges arid universities .c ompeting in the National Invitational Debate Tournament at West Point next month. The Beacon points with pride to a group of whom we can justly be proud-the Wilkes College Debaters. --------------QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE AMERICAN RED CROSS CAMPAIGN Q. Does the Red Cross ever charge for cigarettes marked "gift of the American Red Cross"? A. No. Red •Cross does not sell and has never sold cigarettes! To do so would be a violation of Bureau of Internal Revenue regulations. In some instances, shipments of cigarettes marked "Gift of the American Red Cross" were delivered through error to post exchanges and sold, while Red Cross received the unmarked cigarettes shop for them. Sometimes it is misunderstood. Patients in neighboring beds, seeing money change hands and cigarettes or other articles passed from the hospital worker to the patient, may have concluded that Red Cross supplies were being sold. - ~~~ssga:~p~t:i: ~:~:stolen and fell into the!1!o~ti::~ hands of balck marketeers who sod them. There were only two definitely known instances of illegal sale of Red Cross cigarettes that involved Red Cross employees. Both employees were tried for the offense and dismissed from service.

AT TEA TODAY Life With RADIO By CHUCK GLOMAN History· tells us that in the late 1860's a Scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell unified the discoveries of Ampere, Oersted, Faraday and Henry into a single theory of electromagnetics, paving the way for what is known to the modecl world as "radio"-an ingenious device that, in my opinion, wa~ invented primarily to teach mankind the blessings of silence. S~nce the 1920's the radio has ibecome a vital part ,o f every Amell"ican home. The radio is faml!iar to ev&-yone. Yes, the .radio is wo.thin tM reach of all, and ,i t's a wonder more a<ren't smas,h.ed. W,h y? Weil, just think of those early pioneet.s. They spent countles·s years perf.ecting a device whieh they thought would prove to be a boon to mankind. Actually, if they ' had h.ad any idea of what their "boon" would become, they would have exclaimed in do.,s gust, "Oh, what's the used!" When someone turned on his boon back in 1000, the early day,s of radio, there emitted fa·om tM squawking rect,a,ngular box a highpitched, excited voice saying·: "Ladies and gentlemen! Th'rougih the g,r.eatesit medium of mass communication ever devised the radio - station KD:KA br.ings you the ret11rns of the Harding-Cox preso.dential election." But today (right this mi-nute to be exact) when a pood unfortunate being twists the dial of his streamJ.ined, .u ltra-modem, static-free, mahogany - veneered, chromiumlJlated, Super-deluxe structure, what does ·h e hear?

The doors will be opened at 7:30 with the festivities commencing at 8:30 P. M. As there will be no admission charge, it is expected that there will be a capadity crowd in attendance. ' The Pageant is under the direction of Robert Partridge with Miss Charlotte Lord of the G. A. R. High School English department and meml?er of the Wilkes Evening School faculty acting as narrator. The Pageant will featur e the folk dancing, folk singing, and hymns of twelve ethic groups. Each one of these groups : Greek, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Lithuanian , Negro, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, Syrian and Welsh-will be on hand on show their traditional costumes and dances. In addition to the "liye" p erformances to be held on the Gymnasium floor proper, there will be an exhibit held in ·the lobby. This exhibit will consist of one table for each group fashioned in their nattve dinner settings. In this way the china, linens, silver, centerpieces, fo_od and table " objects d'art" of each nationality will be displayed. The purpose of the Pageant as stated in the theme of the United Nationalities Pa,geant written by Al Groh is to "demonstrate that t,h:is nation i,s a pr-0jection of every ma-n's, every rra•tiona:li ty',s dream; that the song-11 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." The Pageant, now an annual affair at Wilkes College, is a direct outgrowth of -point three of the "Marks of a n Educated Man" listed in t he Wilkes catalogue. Embodying the tr ue democratic spirit, point t hree states in r egard to an .educated man : "He has faith in man. H e respects differences because he knows how they have come to be . .H e fears uniformity because it confines both mind and spirit. He is aware of his own limitations and his neighbors possibilities." The •United Nationalities Pageant certainly deserves the support of the entire Wilkes student body, so plan to be on hand .Sunday evening, March 30, at 7 :30 when the gymnasium doors open.

Charles B. Reif, chair-man of the Biology Department, has been teaching here at Wilkes since 1942. He came. to W.ilkes aite.r receiving his P.h. D. in Biology. All three of his degr,ees: bachelor and master of arts and Ph. D., were granted by the University of Minnesota . Asked about: his choice of Biology fur his profess.ion, Dr. Reif stated, "As far back as I can remember, I have always been in,t erested in biology. Fi.sh.ing trips · with my father aroused an int erest in me-th e ,o utdoors." Dr. Reif's interest .in the outdoors m anifested itself in many ways. He joined the Boy Scouts 'of America and worked himself up the ranks, eventually becoming an eagle scout with two silver palms. The United States F>ores.try Service uti.lized D;r. Reif',s talents by appointing. him a foreman in the Civilian, Co!lJServation Corps in 1936 and 1938. For fifteen summers, Dr. Reif worked as a professi•o nal counselor ·a t suimmer camps. Through thls counseling work and his boy scout exper,i ence, Dr. Reif has bec·o me a very proficient .swimmer, and has twi ce saved pevsons from drowning. Dr. Reif served in the U.S. Navy for two years. He saw action at Iwo J.ima and Okinawa. While at Minnes•o ta, Dr. . Reif served as · Curator of Education at the Minnesota Museum of Natural History, a university institution. Speaking on Biology "Biology today is inseparable from its associated .field,s such as chemistry and Il!edicine. The biologist who ·does not wish to take · chemistry or go into medicine has a mor-e 'limited future; in fact, about the only field the general biol'Ogist can enter, is that of education; that is to teach it." Dr. Reif went ·on to ,say, "The person with bio1'ogical training cannot ·s et up a shop or business as the · p,el'lson with business training does, rather he must coordinate his ·-training with some other field." !When asked w:hy medical sc.hools are so difficult to enter, Dr. Reif said that t'here are too few medical .school,s in the country for one thing. Secondly, for the 7000 placements these schools offer annually, there are ten applications· f'Or ,ea.oh place available. · Many •s tates with fi.ne univerisiti~s, have no medic.al scihoo1s due to state antivivisection laws,_ . People generally f.ail to recognize the role of the biologist. They fail to s ee that many of their everyday problems c-0uld be ,solved with the biologist's help. For instance; in :regard to farming, it' would be extremely beneficial for a c·o mmunity about the size of a township to hire a biologist. This biologist .could ,a ssist the farmers no end, by carefully watching crops, insect p,es:ts, animal pests, s-0il management, etc. At the present time, most of the positions open to biol-Ogists are government jobs. "'Dhere is a dire need for private capi,tal to ,s ponsor bi·olog.ical research," he said. In speaki•n g on Wilkes, Dr. Reif referred to the eig,hth mark of an E,'.d ucated Ma~, whicp concerns par,t icipation. "The students here at Wilkes should participate more as opposed to merely being s pec;tators .in their ca,mpus organizat ions. Many students fail to realize the importance of extra-curr.icular activities," Dr. Reif stated. WhHe at Minnesota, Dr. Reif belonged to the following fraternities: Phi Delta Theta, Sig.ma Xi, a national ,science honor society, Gamma Alpha, a graduate hono.r society. National -0r state organizations to which Dr. Reif belongs are: American Association for the Adva•ncement of Science; Pennsylva.n ia Academy of Science; Ameri,c an Society of Limnology and Oceanogra'p hy; M.ic.roscopical Society of America; American Forestry Association; M.innesota Ornithologi,sts Union; Phycological (not psychological) Society of America. D.r. Reif i,s also a · member of the Letter•men's Club of Minnesota. As an undergr,a duate he ~as a member of the track team. He is married .to the former Garoly·n HoMa, wh-0 worked at Wilkes ,College for sev,en years. Among hi,s hobbies, br. Reif includes: photogr.a'PhY, woodwork ing and d r a w i n g. H,e has built some of hi,s own furniture. Last •s ummer he ,s tarted to buHd hi,s own home ,out at Buckwheat Hollow, ·Penna.

Pairtridge, Director •o f Activities After discussing each ::i,spirant for the presidential office of the United States the Wilkes IRC took a student poll in as,s embly last Thunsday. The results, as interpreted by Dr. Hugo Mailey, ar~: General Eisenhower received 29 percent of the total vote; foHowing him is President Truman with 14 percent; Taft with 13 percent; Kefauver with 12 percent and Warren with 7 percent. It may be noted bhat 13 percent of the students indi cated they had no opinion. 'l he wo men went all out for Ike, giving him 45 percent of their vote. The man the women dis liked •most was Taft, who got only 7 percent of their vote. The men a lso gave Ike t heir popular vote of 34 perc•ent but t hey spread their votes among the various candi•dates. If the election is close this year the women could de<;ide it. The lowercla,s smen showed that they wanted Ike more strongly :than did the up·p,ercJassmen, by giving him 60 percent of their vote to the 40 percent of the U'Pperclassmen.

Kruger. After fiv e hours of intervi ews in Philadelph ia on March 14, Fred Davis, a senior, was selected for the Executi ve Training program, at the college level, of the Federal Res erve System. The appointment, a much sought after one (only three graduates are chosen from the entire 3rd Federal Reserve District, which includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland) provides for two years of t raining in every phase of centml bankiing and additional schooling at the University of Pennsylvania fo.r a Master's degree. The Federal Reserve System estimates its cost for training Davis will be $10,000, approximately $6,600 of which will go to Davis in salary while he is learning banking research and operations. Aft!')r he completes the two-year program, he will become a junior executive in the Federal Reserve System and will have excellent prospects of advancing in the field of banking. The directors who interviewed Davis were so impressed by the way he answered questions under fire that they de'viated from their usual practice of informing prospective candidat es by mail and chose him on the spot. Davis is well known on the Wilkes campus, having been active in the Economics Club, the IRC, the Amnicola and the Debating Society. He is perhaps best known ~s a debater, having served as president of the society and compiled the best record . ever made 'by a Wilkes debater. In three years against the best in intercollegiate debating, he has compiled the phenomenal record of 30 wins to '3 losses. He attributes mucfu of his success in the interviews at Philadelphia to the debate training received from his coach, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, director of debate at Wilkes. Among honors Davis has received this year are his selection to "Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities" and "Leaders In American Colleges and Universiti es".

BEERS THE END OF NOTHING We are now in the period of the school year where the sporting scene shivers and shakes on the vine and almost withers for lack of attention. Except for ballplayers throwing balls one way and another around In the Gym. nobody is doing much at all in the athletic world. Basketball is over and so Is wrestling. Even the cynics have forgotten about football and soccer. The same crowd that attends the muscle events don't go in for debating, and vice versa, sq the old pros that sit around the campus ,:ire in a dither as to what to talk abou\. Coll!)ge baseball has been In skid-row since Frank Merriwell left Yale, so even the coming events don't yield much to the usual hehemmlng-and-h,:xw·wing round and about in Community College Number One. Outside of a few sharp cracks at various marking policies. most scholars now sit and stare sadly into their cup of coffee, saying absolutely nothing. All this is just peaches and cream for any sports writer. There Is nothing like a good old bed of nothingness to \ ,,rite about.

Many Wilkes-Barreans will remember Ham Fisher as the young journalist who got his start at the age of 20 by working for the Wilkes-Barre Record. After working there for two years he left to take a job with the Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader, and later with the Pictorial. Finally he transferred to a New York syndicate where 1le originated the "Joe Palooka' ' comic stri-p. This creation was not accepted at first, for when Mr. Fisher reached New York in 1926 he held various jobs, started a newspaper which folded, and went through a stock market crash. He returned home ,t o Wilkes-Barre, only to set out again after revising the comic strip . This time he met with success for today Joe Palooka appears in 600 papers with the approximate r circ ulation of 45 million.

No other college, Mr. Chwalek said, 6ffers such a service to its students.

The Wilkes Debaters left yesterday for Princeton, New Jersey, where they are competing in the Eastern Forensic Tournament. Due to a broken rib, Fred Davis was unable to make the trip. Doris Gates is substituting. The tournament, the last of the season for the Wilkesmen, brings together the best colleges and universities in the East. At the threeday meet, ending tomorrow, each team will debate six times on each side of the current debate question. Dr. Arthur Kruger, debating coach, is optimistic over the chances of his boys who have established a record of 20 wins and 3 losses thus far in the season. 'Ah, Wilderness!'

Radio listeners of Wyoming Valley will have an opportunity to 'heat a panel discussion of prob.lems of the community, m~inly the task of attracting industry to the valley to alleviate acute unemployment problems. Interested residents of the valley will have the opportunity to air their · views in public. Local industrialists, college students, and the general public are invited to participate in our town meeting. Admission is free to this replica of the nationally broadcasted "town meeting". The moderator for the broadcast will be Roy Morgan, manager of station WILK. Mr. Morgan will join such notable speakers as Wm. ·O.

All of these men are actively interested in Wyoming Valley. William 0. Sword is a member of an organization which hopes to organize our community into a better place to live. The group is concerned with correcting the employment problem in the valley and enticing new industries to enter the valley.

In recent years there ihas been an increase in the amount of history ,taught in our coJ.leges and universities, he said. A reoent New York Times survey has given impetus to this trend. Dr. Thatcher s·aiid that -t his s urvey di,sclo.sed that many colleges did not requi.r e the teaching of Amer.ican hi.story. However, because of this survey, the conditions have been g,r eatly improv-ed, in fact some medical and engineering s-chools have added an ex:tra year to their oour,s es for the study of social sciences. "The fi,e lds opened by the .;.tud y of hi story are r ather limited," he stated. T,ea•ching and government service are about the only fields fur ,t he historian.

Lost Manuscript Found By Smith. Connie Smith, the girl bard of Sterling Hall, came to the rescue of a fellow poet last week when she turned up a copy of the long lost "The Red Rooster's Destiny", by PRO poet, Dale W armouth. The two Wilkes poets, alon ·' with Wend ell Cla:r,k, had been published in the National Poetry Association's recent college anthology and· the Manuscript secured reprint rights to the three poems. With deadline approaching, Warmouth could not find a copy of his poem among his bales and bales of half-finished and rejected writings. In desperation he wrote to the NP A, but to no avail. Due to some snafu, the home office of the publishers had lost even the file copies, and the "Red Rooster's Destiny" seemed to be its exclusion from the Manuscript. Wandering helplessly and hopelessly about Osterhout Lrbrary, he was accosted by Connie who listened to his woes and informed him that she just happened to have the book in which it appeared. It was turned over to him that night and the poem will now b1,,, included in Manuscript this spring, along with "Can't Sit Still" by Connie, and "Propinquity" by Wendell Clark.

Krei.tzib,er,ger, lighting co,nsultants for the Luzerne Division of the Pennsrl vania .Power and Li,g1ht Com.pany, at Lecture Hall on Tuesday morning. Many 1/ecent developments were presented including a 10,000 Vl'.att J.amp used for lighting Hollywood stages. A model of Thomas Edison's 'hail'lpin in a .bottle' latlllp which was rated at 100 watts was compared with the modern 100 watt lamp which prov.i des more lig,ht at a fraction of the cost. A display of lamps for s•p ecial use, such as i.ndoors and outdoors, the 'grain of wheat' latlllp for medical use as well as others for ,specific lighting jobs were shown. An interesting portion of the show included 1Jhe use of lamps depending upon -electrical dis•charg,e in a gas to produce light. The sodium lamp which is used to penetrate fog, and · the mercury lamp much used i,n '.f actories were shown an:d t heir effect on various colors demonstrated. Their lack of certai.n wave lengths in .the Ught spectrum wa,s made evident by the use of colored cloth. A color corrected meroury lamp was also demonstrated -to s'how the effect of replacing ,s ome of tJhes·e color,s in the light :produced. A ~blacklight' lamp was also us-ed to show the effect of ultra-violet light. Some of the billboards in Wyoming Valley are at .present using this ty,p e of light on their displays.

CAMPUSES NOW HAVE 30 462 FOREIGN sru'DENTS New York, N.Y.-(1.P.) - The final returns from the Institute of International Education's census of foreign students .i n the United States are in. Our colleges and univ,er,sities, today, have j,u,st about twfoe as many students from a.broad as there were in 1946. The presence ITT 30,46·2 foreig_n students on U. S. campuses-some 600 more >than last year-Slh ows that despite monetary exchange barr~ern and the conti-nuation of a critical international situa<lrlon, the flow O'f students from -a broad to the United States is holdµig its own. The Institute reveals that t!he leading fiields of ,study for for,ei.gn -students ihave remained fairly con,stant -o ver the .p ast few years: engineering, Jirst; followed b-y the social s ciences; liberal arts and medical sciences; then the physical sciences; business -s tudies, religion; education; agricultu:re; and fine arts. Particularly significant is the fact that the social -sci,ences are attracting increasing numbers o.f students. They ,h ave moved from third to second place this year; in 1949, .t hey ranked fourth.

This ·ir&n',t a knock ,ei,ther, not at all, just a fact. After thoroughly thra,shing Wyoming Seminary last Tuesday with one of those foot-ball scores, the Colonels went over to ,Sem and got beat, 4-3-. On Saturday a big Ithaca cam,e into town, swung a -mighty .bat, and cru,shed us, 11..2. !Many folks have •boon wondering and shaking ,t heir heads. In the firat Sem game we looked wonderful. The boys were actually playing ball as of old, which means hitting the ,g ood ones and doing what one ou,g,h t to when upon the green. tBut then on Friday, with many folfowers eager for the ,b oys .t o take a second one, the team folded like a.n accordian, letting the same pitcher that they had murdered on Tuesday handcuff them on Friday. The many followers w,ere disappointed. Saturday's ,g ame ·has an excuse. Ithaca was good, Goa.ch Bucky Freema,n, an old major leaguer him.~lf, has s ome fine prospects and a fairly well-rounded clUJb. Thris club is so fairly well-rounded that an old Wilkes aCEl ,pitcher, John Zigm-und, -Sllt on .t he ·b ench. This to many Wilkes rooters is being well-rounded indeed, as Ziggy is known around this Valley as a very excellent twirler and a not-too-bad slug,g er either. The coming schedule for the club looks ,something like thi-s. Today the Colonels ,p lay Utpsala rC-Ollege in East Orange, N. J. Tomorrow· they travel -t o Lycoming College in Williamsport. Neither of these· schools are as clas~y ,as Ithaca, ·b ut they'll still be !l)retty fair game · for us. On ,M onday East Stroudsburg State Teachers College will -be . ,here. Last year we did a nice job on -t he Teachers, with Zi,ggy thu.mp,ing a tremendous blast, but t~ey ,shou,ld offer us mucli trouble this year. On Wednesday the team takes on Ha.rpur College. in En9icottr N. Y., and next Saturday Susqueha,nna will entertain us in Selins·grove, Pa.

(I.P.)-"A teaoher',s effectiveness depends upon whether he reali.z,es .that he is not teaching eng.inee11ing, but that he is teaching students ,engin-eering," declared Dr. -M. D. :Steer, diirector of ,th-e ,speech and hearing clinic •a t Purdue U:nive11sity, dn a recent .talk on "Speech .in itihe Classroom" before seventy-five members of the General Engineering School.

'!Tue GE .teachi,n g committee on this oampus has been a ctively work,ing on the program of ithe improvement of teaching standards over three years. In his speeoh, Dr. Ste.er covered what he termed the basic essentials of successful J.ecturing and the impoo,tance of v·oice in the lecture. Self-confidence, a back gro und of knowledg-e, and skill in deJ.ivery were emphasized a,s the thre.e -essentials needed for an effective lecture. Dr. Steer pointed out that the normal reaction of a -t~oher is to feel unc-o mfor.table and nerv•o us in fr-0nt of a class. Instead of trying .to concen.tirate on overcoming his ,stag-e fright and losing control of 'the cla,ss, Dr. S.teer recommended that the dnstructor concentrate on 1ihe thought of t he lecture; "i-n 90 seconds the nervousness will -s tart to disappear."

FOSTER'S Esquire Menswear * ·" · . . ... - =·=··- - - - MEET THE FACULTY ELEVENTH IN A SERIES OF FEATURE ART[CLES ON THE WILKES FACULTY Mr. Robert W. Partridge is the subject for this final MEET THE FACULTY. Mr. Partridgl! came to Wilkes in 1947 as a history professor. His duties now are: Director of Activ•ities, Director of Physical Education, coach of both the soccer and baseball teams. Mr. Partridge received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. This degree was in history. He returned to that same institution to be granted his master's degree ii\ education. Fraternities to which he belonged a1-e Phi Si:gma Kappa of which he was president, and Kappa Phi Ka·ppa, a national education fraternity. Mr. Partridge was also vicepresident of the senior class, captain of the soccer team, member of the baseball team and the highest honor of them all was a membership in the Sphinx Senior Honor Society. During the war, Mr. Partridge served in the U. S. Navy which he entered in 1941. In 1942 he was commissioned an ensign. Serving on the U. S. S. ·Columbia, a light cruiser, he ·participated in eight major campaigns, one of which was the Solomons campaign. He later transferred to the IU. S. S. Topeka, also a light cruiser. On the Topeka, Mr. Partridge participated in two more campaigns, and saw duty at Okinawa and Japan. Speaking on his navy duty, he said, "Toward the end of the war, there was a time when I didn't see land for 84 days. This was very unusual as prior to this, we would pµt into port at least once a month to replenish our supplies." He went on to say, "My greatest thrill came when we engaged the Japanese fleet off Bouganville island in the battle of Empress Augusta Bay; a battle we won even though outnumbered." Mr. Partridge was discharged with the rank of lieutenant. Speaking on hygiene and ·p hysical education, Mr. Partridge said, "Hygiene and physical education are necessary to everyone. The two should be learned by everyone whether attending colleg,e or ,n ot." ,Concerning the physical education at Wilkes, he went on to say, "Our purpose in this course is to teach a few games which can be used even after college to keep in shape." Questioned about his first degree (BA in History) Mr. Partridge replied, "As far back as I can remember, I have always like history. I taught it when I first came to Wilkes and I'm looking forward to teaching it again this summer." "My interest in sports also goes back a_s far as I can remember. I think I can honestly say that I've Uked sports ever since I have been old enough to lift a ball," he said. "However, I can trace my interest in teaching back to my high school instructors. They instilled · the incentive and desire to teach in me. Their m,ethod:s a-nd attitudes were of the type that were very inspiring." Mr. Partridge said that his duties as Director of Activities are, "to coordinate the activities .p rogram and bring it to its highest level. By this program," he went on to say, "we hope to afford opportunities to socialize which is a very important phase of college life°:" -~ Speaking On Wilkes "I believe that Wilkes College is a dynamic force in Wyoming Valley and it will continue in that role for some time. Wilkes is becoming known nationally and even internationally. Our school has a sound academic basis and a good hardhitting faculty. I further believe that Wilkes is a definite help to the community." Mr Partridge cop.eluded by say- ing, "One of the nicest factors about Wilkes is that it is a small college where the faculty can get to know the students well, even to the point of knowing them by their first names · and not by a number as I was known at Penn. One of the most important factors we should take into consideration is that Wilkes College is a growing institution and how it grows depends a lot on us. We should meet this challenge with determination." Wilkes Male Chorus ·scores At Assembly T:he Wilkes Col,l egians scored another gr.eat ,suc-cess at the college assembly in .the Jewish Community Center yesterday morning. Performing under .the skillful lead.er.ship of Bill •C rovider, freshman director, the hoy,s went through their nmrlber with profe;;,sfonal ease · and competence. Numbers rang.i. ng from the dignified a.nd powerful "One World" anthem to the graceful, .rhythmic lov·e song, "Waters Ripple and Flow" were himdled with equal faci.Jity. Adding to the .sparkle of .t he program was the chorus' rendition of th.e peppy no v e It y .tune, "Johnny Schn1oker", an ,adaptation from ,an o!<l Germain folksong. The soloists in the program were: William Foote, Dick Gribble, Anthony Safranco, and F.Ji.p Jones. Proof of their exceient :performances was the long applause at the end of each of their numbe-vs. The Collegians f.eel that .the cordi-a) r,eception _given -to their first two public appearances warrants the continuance ,o f ·a ,n active male chorus at Wi,l kes.

For -centuries .physici,a ns have pondered over the problem and so far have been unable to suggest any pos-sible ·c ure for the suffering victims. But, ,a fter years ·o f mental oonf,Jict, I -have discovered a four-way -t echnique which, if followed carefully, will enable the .student to live 'through the exam period with a mi:nimum of hardships. ,· First, -GET PI.JENTY OF SLEEP ... .during the daytime! I think you wiU find th.at long hours of uninterrupted s.lumb,er in the evening are unobtainable ,t o the student inflicted with -e xaminitis. Second, DON'T DRINK HARSH DRU1GS. In order to do your best in the next day',s exam you must refrain from gulping harsh drugs. Hadacol, lemonade, ,p rune juice and other :potent solutions are definrtely out. T,h ird, KNOW YOUR PROFE-S,SOR'S F.AIMILY. That',s right. Be s-oci.able. S,pend the evening before the exam in pleas-ant oonver.sation with your profes.sor',s family. Who knows, maybe you can persuade someone in ·h is family to persuade him ,to ask only semi-difficult questions - questions like "When was the War of ~12 fought?" "Who -s leeps in Grant's Tomib ?" "What ,color is ,t he iblac·~ board ?" etc. In thi·s• way, anyone with even the ,slightest degree of mentality ,c an walk away from ah· exam with utmost self-confidence. Fourth, BE FAMILIAR WITH MORSE CODE. With such knowl~ edge, you can ,be sure of answering ev-e ry question correctly. Here is the idea: bribe, •or -shaU we s,ay "enwiggle" ·one of your friends to sit home wi,th your t,extbook and lecture notes in ,o ne h and and a wireless sending set in the other. Then, when you take your seat in the exam room quickly set up your wireless .sending-receiving ·a pparatus, and begin the exam. (When t he proctor hands you your booklet, <though, don't greet him with •a n ear-to-ear self-conscious grin. You're liable to .g ive yours·elf ,a way.) Just -~ asp ,t he .b ooklet firm ly and ibegin 1Jhe test. When you come aeross any . questions which awear difficult, simply s•end a message over your telegraph apparatus, Informing your assistant ·o f ,t he .p age on which the answer may be ,found.

A turnout of 50 grid aspirants is not unusual at most colleges, but at Wilkes, where a no atltletic scholarship policy exists, it was gratifying. A week later, the squad totaled over 55 and was still grownig. Says Coach George Ralston, "Tp.ere seems to be a revitalized interest in football at Wilkes and I'm all for it. It sute strengthens our belief that scholarship should come first and then extra-curricular activities, which of course includes athletics." Wilkes announced a strict athletic policy in 19"50 which •s tated that "At Wilkes College a balance must be maintained .between scholastic and extra-curricular activities so that scholarship will not be impaired." The policy further stated, "The college gives no scholar·ships for the sole purpose of encouraging athletes to a tiend 'Wilkes College. Athletes will receive the same consideration in admissions, in the classroom., and in the awarding o fscholar.ships that is given other students." For the first few years the code hurt teams of the small school, and today its effects are still felt. Last year the football squad numbered only 33, and other sports also felt the pinch. But the teams carried on and always put on fine showings, even -though undermanned. Good proof of the systemis success is the eleven's record in six years of play. It now stands at 29 wins, 15 defeats and three ties.

There should be no condoning of the late actions of the Amnicola. No one should laugh and -say that it at least beat Christmas, as punctuality is one of the prime virtues of a publication. The editors are at fault, though one should remember that such a publication as a yearbook is always hard put to be on time. Its very nature makes it difficult to put it out on time. Late or not, the 1952 Amnicola is one of Wilkes' finest yearbooks. The edi1ors are to be congratulated on that score. H is full of new idea-s. It contains the first yearbook color shot. The newspaper-like divider ,pages are originally at-tractive. The layouts are something new in lay-outs, which in yearbook work is pretty near always set. Some photo shots are excellent; others poor. It contains some weird-like cartoons of · a campus cat with a square jaw, which adds a spicy touch to the book and is the first bit of art work in its seven-year history, Now if our 'fellow staffers can only keep up the splendid old friends, making new ones.

"Nick" carried lots of mail for dear Qld Wilkes in his time and all of us here knew that he was good. But last week Ralston, in one of his somber moods, what with the eleven shaping up slowly, reveaJe · just how highly he regarded our former flashback . . . Ralston, who has lost no little sleep worrying about who will fill Al's shoes at tailback, was trying to talk some of the old Nicholas ginger into about half a dozen aspiring pjgskin toters . . . George frankly admitted that he hasn't found the man who can run like "Nick" yet this year, and that it doesn't look like he's going to find such a shifty speedster for many ·years to come. Said Ralston, ex plaining how "Nick" would run the various plays from tailback, "He was just about the best runner that . I've seen. He got to the holes fast and never let up until he was either over the goal or brought down. I'm tellnya, the boy could run." Al had his best year, by the record books anyhow, in 1950 when he was chosen Small Coll ege All-State Halfback by the Associated Press sportswriters. That season ole "Twinkletoes" ran through, around, over and under the opposition to the tune of slightly more than 1000 yards . . . Ask any King's College gridder who faced little lightning at Kingston Stadium that year . .. He'll tell you as many of the Monarchs have told us that "I had a shoulder on him, but before I could close my arms, the little so and so was gone." , .. Frustrating, to say the very least . . .

Dancing will be from 8 :30 to 11 :30. By LEE DANNICK The football season is now upon us. Tomorrow night at Athletic Park in Bloom s burg the Colonels will meet the Huskies in the opening game of the campaign for both teams. ·Coach George Ralston and his charges will be looking to gain their second victory in this football rivalry that dates back to 1948. The Colonels' only victory in this series was in 1949 by, a 20-7 count when Leo Castle, John' Florkiewicz, and the 'Seven Blocks of Anthracite' were on the rampage. Last year, with Al Nicholas riding the bench because of injuries, the Huskies ran over our outmanned team, 27-7. In Bloomsburg, Wilkes faces one of its most formidable opponents of the season. It will not be an easy task to upset the team that last year won the Pennsylvania State Teachers Conference title with a season's record of seven vicRICHARD HELTZEL tories and no defeats. The outlook JOHN CAST A YNA brightens considerably, however, LOIS JONES when one takes into account that Coach Ralston has had on.e of his MARY ZAWATSKI largest turnouts in years with some BERNICE THOMAS forty-four men showing up for the BOB LYNCH practice sessions.

FOWLER, DICK AND WALKER CH ES TE.RF IE LD TO OffER BOTH REGULA_R & KING-SIZE BOTH regular and king-size Chesterfields are premium quality cigarettes and come in the smart white pack. BOTH contain only those proven ingredients that make Chesterfields the best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents ( to keep them tasty and fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy - nothing else. BOTH are much milder with an extraordinarily .good taste and, from the report of a well-known research organization - no unpleasant after-taste. BOTH are exactly the same in all re• I spects. There is absolutely no difference except that king-size Chesterfield is larger - contains considerably more of the same tobaccos - enough more to give you a 21 o/o longer smoke, yet costs little more. - * CONTAINS TOBACCOS OF BETTER QUALITY AND HIGHER PRICE THAN ANY OTHER KING-SIZE CIGARETTE -EITHER WAY YOU LIKE 'EM � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The crux of the issue, l believe, is that perhaps -t he Admi-n istrntion, could with the co-o,pemtion of the city authorities,, work out some •p lan whereby the students would be allowed a three 1hour.limit on parking.

Intercollegiate Press Editorially Speaking BEAU GEORGE Coach,, George Ralston's impromptu speech on the "spirit of football last week at the pep rally was one of the finest pieces of oratory given around here in quite some time. It is remarkable that a man so close to football so long as George Ralston can still see the trees in spite of the forest and know and appreciate the real heart and soul of the game. It is remarkable that that heart and soul, that vast intangible, could be put in words and gestures and transmitted to a light-hearted audience as George Ralston did. But George is a remarkable man. We kept no notes on Ralston's speech-it's too bad we didn't_,but we were moved by the message. George took the T-formation, gate receipts, and plunging fullbacks out of football and . put in the fellowship, the rewards of hard work, the good sportsmanship, and the moving passion · of the game. George's ' "spirit" and "victory" aren't synonymous like they are in many other places. Many would disagree, but George is right, . It is too bad Judge Saul Streit of New York City wasn't on hand to hear Coach Ralston. The Judge would have liked George arid would have enjoyed the little talk. Last January Judge Streit was · fore~ to. hear bigger coaches . say such garbage as, "My boys didn't throw games they just shaved points.''. "SPIRIT OF FOOTBALV' PERSONIFIED The BEACON tips its hat to the football team for its glorious showing against Bloomsburg last Saturday night. Considering the odds, the Colonels did excellently.

We'll leave that for Joe Harris, Herb Altschall, Stan Baumgartner, Bob Patton and the rest. But there is one thing that we will venture. Things look promising for the grid Colonels this week as they prepare to leave for Bridgeport, Conn., where tomorrow they engage the University of Bridgeport's Purple Knights. The men in Blue and Gold stand a good chance of coming home with their first victory of the '52 season. The Knights haven't had much success thus far this season. They've played to games, dropping both, 14-6 to Up sala, and 32-6 to Brandeis. SAD SONG FROM KNIGHTISM Press releases from the Bridgeport PRO sing a tale of woe. Thi!· year the Purple Knights could more aptly be called the Knights ill shin.ing black and blue. The University seems to miss its former ace scatbaek JOHNNY "BABES" LONGO, who, incidentally, never really showed much against Wilkes. Of course, he could have had off-nighta when he faced Ralston's Raiders. He was touted highly as a "Little. All-American" as was End LOU SA.CCONI, whose name appears on the team's roster agam this year. Coach WALTER KONDRATOVITCH hasn't been able to find a suitable replacement for Longo and is said to be experiencing a season with inexperienced personnel. Sort o:t'. green Purple Knights. He should trade places with GEORGE F. fo~ a year. The pre-game propaganda out of the Connecticut city would have us think that Bridgeport will be a pushover.

A win will bring the Colonels record up to an even keel, .500, from where they can start out again, fresh. TEAM SHOWS PROMISE IN LOSING ABOUT LAST WEEK: Most people who saw the Colonels drop their opener to Bloomsburg last ··Saturday night are inclined to agree that Wilkes didn't look as bad as the 32-12 score would indkate. The first half was a fiasco, we'll admit, but it was an entirely different team, that was out on the field in the second half. EDD-IE DA VIS and RUSSEL. PICTON were hitting like crazy with ·passes and our receivers were really getting out there in the clear. The Wilkes ground attack was nil and then some. The game statistics showd the Blue and Gold with a deficit of 16 yards r~nnings; but it must be remembered that much of the yardage lost on the ground was due to the long losses inflicted on our passers in the first half, when they didn't have . time to get rid of the ball, N.o football coach likes to see his team h>se, and that goes doubly for GEORGE RALSTON . He was not altogether disappointed though. . . (. ' * * * * THIRD TD \\r AS HEALLY GOOD Actually, the . "Raiders" scored that third tou chdown. Here's how t~e story goes . . .

The ball was brought ·back to about tre one foot line. The odd thing is that in such _an instance, the runner ·' receiving assistance from his teammates calls for an automatic 15-yard penalty. No such penalty was called'. One way or another, the officials were at fault. A few plays later the officials again blundered by calling an offensive holding penalty ag~inst number "10" which jersey was at that time being worn by co-captain GEORGE ELIAS, who in turn was getting a rest on the bench. We're not saying that that third TD would have meant the difference, but it could have. MUCH GAINED FROM INITIAL TILT Even in losing, Wilkes got a lot of good out of the game. Ralston got a chance to see what he actuallyhas. He discovered an addition to his backfield in Joe Krop. The contest showed Wilkes fans that the team never gives up--no matter how much the underdog it may be. You can rest assured that there were times in that ball game when Bloom Coach JACK YOHE was plenty worried. We're bound to iRtprove. A better pass defense is, of course, the big need right now atld the team has been drilling hard all week with that need in mind. The ground attack wa,s not sharp by any means, but it will improve, too. If the running offense can become respected by the opposition, then the passing will click even more. And if the passing continues to look as good as it did last Saturday, the running attack should prove more successful. At least, that is the philosophy of Coach Ralston. POSSmLE COLONEL LINE-UP Pos.

BOTH contain onlythoseproven ingredients that make Chesterfields the · best possible smoke: the world's best tobaccos, pure, more costly moistening agents (to keep them tasty and, fresh), the best cigarette paper that money can buy - nothing else. BOTH are much milder with an extraordinarily good taste and, from the·report of a well-known research organization - no unpleasant after-taste. BOTH are exactly the same in all re• spects.

Education Club To Hold Meeting Monday Night _Budget Balanced In Record Time lege Debating Society. which in sharp contrast with the yearbook . was granted -an increase of thre~hundred and ten dollars over last year's allotment. Mike Lewis started things rolling by presenting a tentative budget to the Council. This budget was not a ccepted by the Council but w as deemed worthy of consideration, and the Council decided to vote upon the appropriations for each organization separately. The results were -as follows: The Beacon was appropriated $125Q. This figure is $3 07 less than th,e amount requested by the Beacon, and $200 less than the amount received last year. Cue 'n' Curtain was alloted $475, receiving $75 less than its request of $21 0w and ~126 less than last year's approprial.ion. The Debating Society was granted $600, which called for a reduction of $ 19 from the request submitted by the society and $31 0 more than last year's allotment. · The M-anuscript accepted a $146 reduction from its request of $446. The $300 granted the literary magazine was $100 less than last year's allocation of $4 00. . ' The International Relations C1ub w a s allowed $350. This sum is $8 less th-an the request submitted and $150 more than last year's offering. The Amnicola, of course, will receive $3000, taking a reduction of $800 from the amount requested, but an increase of $40Q over last year's sum. The dormitories were allot:ated $100, the same amount as was requested. Four organiz-ations on the campus which did not receive any funds whatsoever in previous years were grcrnted $75 each. These are the Male Chorus. The Economics Club, Chem ,Qlub . and the Biological Society. The generosity of the 'stude,nt'- Council should not be overlooked, for in granting the Council $678 for the social activities fund they will receive $22 less than the requested $100 . and $251 less than last year's appropriation of $929. The grand total of $7,053 appropriated by the Council this year is $483 more than the amount allocated last year -and $ 1.~97 less than the total amount requested by the various organizations on the campus. · , Roxy Reynolds, president 6f the Student Council, did a commendable job in keeping order at. all times througho_u t the• meeting.

Ironically, Columbia's students, where Eisenhower was not too long ago president, are having a difficult time deciding. The D9:ily Princetonian, of which Stevenson was managing editor in his -undergraduate days, endorsed Dwight Eisenhower. · At Wilkes the story is still the same-a complete · mix-up. When Nixon came to town last week, a large Wilkes aggrega·t ion went over to cheer ·and wave little "I Like Ike" signs. On the Stevenson side, Mike Lewis is organizing _support fast and furious, the intellectual Poets' Corner now being almost completely Adlai adherents. TOUCHDOWN: ELIAS Down at the bot-tom of last week's Ithaca box score appeared a little item-"Touchdown: Elias." Even at this early date it has probably been forgotten by most folks, but to Georgy Elias himself it is a personal triumph. His act alone of tossing the ball over his head and spraying forth to all the fans his ,wide handsome smile testifies to that. Personal triumps usually don't rate editorials, especially in such fields as football. But with Gig it's different. After three years at Meyers and now four at Wilkes, blocking back Elias has scored. There's real human interest there. And George did it the poetic way too. In the second quarter Wilkes had the ball on the four-yard line. Gig carried. He made it to the one, and then Davis scored. But in the third quarter George plunged the ·whole way, two yards, for his big one. For the rest of the evening ~and after the game, George was thoroughly satisfied with himself. Elias, as Coach Ralston will tell you, is a great ballplayer. We of the BEACON can't let such a glorious event for the guy go by without mentioning it. BEERS, editor College life can be expensive.

ROOTERS AND SENIORS CLOSE OUT FOURTH WINLESS SEASON AT TRENTON TOMORROW By PA UL B. BEERS BRIBE CASE SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY GEORGE ELIAS After two years of varsity ball at Meyers and now four at Wilkes. handsome George Elias scored his first touchdown.down. In the Ithaca game George plowed across from the two-yard line. For the co-captain of the team and all his fans it was wonderful. George is one of the really solid football players at Wilkes. He was a topnotch center in high school. making second team All-Scholastic. At Wilkes he was alwavs a standout. last year being nan;ied the Backfield Man of the Year. Blocking backs usually don't come in for much fanfare , but the team last year figured dependable George rated the honor. This season. as in the past. George also plays ilne-backer-up on defense. • A good time to watch the 180 pound. 5-10. 20-year-old star will be in the King's game. George has never played a bad one. Two years ago he was simply great in stopping the Monarchs. Last year he intercepted a pass and lumbered 60 yards before he was pulled down. much to his own sorrow. His shoe-string tackling was something beautiful. Tomorrow night George will be around. but he is suffering a bruised face> and a hurt shoulder. Still, he is almost certain to go the full sixty minutes. The attempted football bribe case at the University of Maryland points, strongly than ever, to the steadily mounting and already dan ' gerous overemphasis of football in American Colleges and Universities. The Maryland case is the first widely publicized collegiate gridiron bribe case, but one is led to believe that there •must have been many more than have come to the public's attention. Not being in a position to advise as to what should be done, we will have to be content by stating that something should be done-and pronto. ' The very fact that a Maryland student saw fit to approach three Terrapin stars, shows just how open gambling is on "big time" college football games. But, to get to the base of things, if our country's Fall pastime hadn't been allowed and encouraged to grow to such tremendous proportions, there would more than probably not be such cases cropping up in the headlines. Why must schools like the University of Southern California and Pitt spend upwards of $500,000 per year just on football'? Not that we're. trying to make Wilkes a "Knight in Shining Armour", but look at football on our level. We'll admit that our crowds are sparse, but· to those who attend, isn't there a closer relationship to the players than in an institution with enrollments number· ing in the thousands'? And then, we're not buying good football teams at $500,000 per to suit overwrought alumni or to publicize our alma mater. NO MONEY MADE HERE To say that .Wilkes is trying to make money on football would be absurd, but it is a very important factor in present day amateur football elsewhere throughout the nation. Pretty nearly everybody, it seems, wahts to make the fast buck. The almighty dollar has taken over where simon purism left off. Wilkes College loses money on every sport in which its teams compete on the intercollegiate level. But officials of our school, like those in other athletically "sane" institutions, realize that much good is derived from athletics when handled correctly. Therefore, in spite of the losses incurred, which are not too great, · little colleges like Wilkes carry on with athletic programs, which adhere to the philosophy of the "Golden Mean"-middle of the road. '(World Lit. 151.) Then, there is not great pressure on the administration or coaches from the alumni to produce bigger and better teams. Not _one person called for Coach George Ralston's head last fall when his team lost to King's for the first time- in six years. Had Ralston been coaching at, say, Minnesota or · some other big time university, he might well have gotten the axe. Sounds unreasonable'? Well, in 1950, over ten of America!s top grid tutors got their walking papers just because their teams failed to have winning seasons, and in most cases, it was the alumni which was res·p onsible for the ousters. · · The last chance for a victory comes up for the soccer Colonels tomorrow.
