Not that spor ts will come to an end at Wilkes College. In our opinion, they are really just beginning. This has been an eventful year for Wilkes College sports-p~rhaps the, most eventful in the history of the college. The memories of the ye... sh,o_uld linger for a long time. THE BIG STORIES Fi.rs.t of all, there was practically a complete turnover of coaches. Youth taok over at every position with Russ Picton, John Reese and Eddie Davis guiding Colonel fortunes. The soccer' team• smashed the school's record in compiling a third straight winning season alt:hough Reese was coaching for the first year. Not satisfied with his soccer laurels, Reese led his wrestling team to an unprecedented 9-1 season which sa.w the grapplers topple Hofstra and Lafayette in two of the biggest upsets of the collegiate year. Atty,vay, Upsets are what the newspapermen like to call thett1.. The boys never had any doubts about the outcome. Continuing: along the fist of big stories for the year, we remember that .t he college added two more varsity sports .and made plans. for a third next year. Tl!re terinis and golf teams swu:ng right into action against neighboring rivals to get the experience they will need next year.. , :I! you grads eome back in a year or two, you probably WO!;t1t recognize the , schedules Colonel teams wrn 1b e playing. Arrangements were finally,made to card some of the c>pponents the college has been seek~ng for thJl.past eight years. The quality of t _h e schools on the forthcommg st ,edu.Jes will add prestige to Wilkes-and we will also stack up better agajnst them. The Hawks, winners of the league championship in the regular season, knocked off the Spanish Flyers, 6-4, in the tail end of a twin-bill last night in •K irby Park. Jim Stocker was the winning pitcher, scattering eight hits over the seven innings. Also one of the leading hitters of the game, his bat acc6unted for the first two runs for the Hawks with a double in the · first inning. Howie Gross, manager of the championship club, followed with a single to drive Stocker home. Howie chased him home ahead ahead of him again in the fifth when the Flyers center fielder dropped a long fly in deep center for a four-base error. Stocker added another single in the sixth, to bring his total of hits to three. ' An insuraRce run was added in the seventh with Marshal Jenkins doubling it home. NAVCADS ACCEPT JOHN BRESNAHAN J o h n Bresnahan, outstanding Wilkes basketball and soccer performer, has been accepted for aviation training by the United States Navy. Bresnahan is uncertain of the date he will commence flight training. The Plymouth athlete completed the Navy tests early this month and the date of entry into 'f light training has been left pending his final acceptance of the Navy offer. MAY WE' BF.ST IN PEACE However; we think the fondest memory we will carry away from this year's sports pages is the way the baseball team made us eat our wqds-uttered in a mad midseason moment. We had .t hem all but buried, but they came back and buried us. Couldn't be happier about a mistake! 1 The way the dub is playing now, it looks like they could just keep rolling on forever.

Up to this point your reporter has discussed the requirements for opening the auction and those for responding to a suit bid of one from your partner, also, the one NT opening and its responses trump raise needs and double raise~ and how to reach game when combined holdings total 26 points or so. You will also remember that for ma•j or suit and no . trump games your combined point holding should total 26, but for the minor suit games one should add two or three points for this eleven trick game. . Now we shall qiscuss the competmg -p hase of the auction. This is when the right hand opponent has opened the bidding with a suit bid of one, and it is your turn to call. This is known as the competitive position or the spot where you are g.o ing to compete for ,t he ultimate contract, and you are not satisfied to permit the opponents to reach a maka:ble contract impeded - irt ?rder to buv the privilege of playmg the deal on your terms. There are many ways to compete but we will discuss three of the more common methods of entering the auction. 1. The Takeout Double, requirements for: This call is reserved for hands that hold from 12 to 16 points and rugged support for at least two if not the other three suits such as the following: (opp. has opened with one spade).

You can readily see that each hand easily complies with the regulations for a takeout double. Now your partner has a good picture of your holdings and can take appropriate action when the auction gets around to him. 2. The Overcall in a Suit, such as one spade from the opponent and two hearts, two diamonds, two clubs from you. This is k nown as the Simple Overcall, and it descr ibes a hand holding approximat ely the equivalent of an opening bid or so (13 Friday, Mgy 18, 195' IDC ELECTS OFFICE8S,: KAYE MAKES REPORT by Jerome · Stein The new members of the InterDormitory Council elected officers for the fo rthcoming year at their final meeting last Monday. Jim Moser, freshman chemistry major was elected president, and Judy Menegus, sophomore a·ccounting major, ~ecretary. Representatives to the council were elected two weeks ago by their individual dormitories. The council members for the 1956-57 school year are: Ashley Hall, Jerry Stein and Bob Chase; Warner Hall, Jim Moser and Earl Bahl; Butler Hall Max Friedlander and R. Mattioli: Weckesser Hall, Bill Duffy and Art Rogovin; Sterling Hall, Joan Rishkofski, Mary Eshleman and Car olyn Goeringer ; McClintock Hall, Judy Menegus, Pat Yost and Mary Rose Sadari. Irwin Kaye, outgoing IDC president, presented the first president's report for the organization at the final meeting. Reviewing the year's work, he commented on the success of the numerous IDC projects, such as the annual dormitory-sponsored Christmas party, the Homecoming dance, and the presentation and acceptance of the new organization'z charter. "T nese achievements," declared Kaye, "are exemplifications of the effective tradition the IDC desires to establish at the college.'' The retiring Council head expressed his hope that the relatively new group would continue as suc.c esful an organization as it had proved to be in its first year. Reviewing the Council's cooperation in such affairs as the recen1 Hampton visit, Kaye noted again the effect~veness of the group, and added praise for the two deans who besides being t he Council's ~ eans of contact and cooperation with the administration, also served as advisers for the group. Concluding his r eport, Kaye noted that it was this first Council which laid the foundations and p1·epared the way for ,t he incoming members, who have before them what he hoped would be an even more successful year.

CHANGING SCENE ON CAMPUS - Making good speed on the construction of the Admiral Stark Science Hall workers were going busily about the task of completing the science building while the rest of ;he campus was relatively quiet this s ummer. The foundation has been laid and the basement has been just completed. The new building will ha ve the lecture hall for one of its wings and extend from there toward Chase Hall behind three dormitories: Butler, Ashley and Warner. Construction, which was begun early in July, is expected to reach completion in the pring semester. Nearly 400 Frosh Attend Orientation Week Activities orma Jean Davis For the past few days, as upperassmen have been relaxing and joying their last few days of isure before settling down to as es, nearly 400 freshmen have en occupied by tests, addresses rom members of the college adinistratjon, an introduction to azing, and parties and reeeptions.

M. CLOSING TIME Due to the fact that the Cafeteria has not been able to balance its budget in the past, new hours are being put into force which will, it is hoped, remedy the situation. The following .is the schedule which the cafeteria will maintain until further notice: DI ING HALL 7 :00-8 :00 .................. Breakfast 11 :30-1 :30 ············:····· Luncheon 5 :45-7 :00 ........................ Dinner CAFETERIA 9 :00-4 :00 . .... ... .... .... ... .... ... Daily The dining hall hours are· set for dormitory students, and it will be impossible for dormitory students to reeeive dining hall service at any other time. The cafeteria service will be available to all students between 9:00-4:00 daily. This will, of course, include both dormitory and day students. ATTENTI ON! This morning finds the frosh again involved in inventory tests. These are expected to last until sometime this afternoon, after which the freshmen girls will attend the annual Coke Party sponsored by Theta Delta Rho. Friday's schedule includes an address by Mrs. Getrude A. Doane, Dean of Women, on "Marks of An E ducat e d Man", Departmental Meetings, and Student Activities. The week will be rounded off by the big "Come and Meet Us" dance Friday night in the gym.

Someone will get in touch with you. Experience is not necessary. A research team headed by Dr. Francis J . Michelini of the college biology department has already commenced preliminary investigations on a basic research ,project on growth that may possibly provide a clue to the cause of cancer in human beings. The 2-year project will operate on an $8,000 grant. The grant, awarded to Dr. Michelini by the National Research Foundation, will go toward the construction of research greenhouses to be added to the now-building Harold R. tark Science Hall. Other monies from the funds, are ear-marked for salaries of student assistants on the project and for summer salaries of Dr. Michelini, chief investigator for the two-year project. The study Dr. Michelini and his assistants are under-t aking will involve the growth process of plants, with special attention being given to the process of differentiation, a process by which the simple singlecelled seed that first forms the plant beeomes the varied and unlike forms of cells in the complicated forms of the plant. The significance of the study lies in the similarity of human cancer spadeful. The building was made posible by an anonymous donaton of $900,000, with the stipulation . that the structure be named in honor .of the Admiral. The demolition of Ashley and Butler Annexes, .t he Art Department rooms and the stairway to the second floor of the Lecture Hall were completed shortly after the start of summer classes. Excavation and construction work have been continuing at a busy pace. When completed, the college will have some of the finest scientific laboratory and classroom facilities in the country. Another development this past summer was the acquisition of theWadham residence at 275 South Franklin Street. The gray stone building is directly across from the gymnasium and has a lot in the rear which will be used for faculty parking facilities. On Wright Street, which runs between South and Ross Streets and is between River and Franklin, the College acquired a lot which has been set aside for student parking. Several old garages on the lot are being torn down at present, and when that is completed there will be space for approximately thirty-five automobiles. The building at 159 South Franklin Street, former home of the Countess Elena DeSilva, has been altered for use by the Art Department. The third floor of the building has been given over· to the Beacon and Amnicola, and the offices of these publications are located there. Mr. Whitby will shortly be moving into his new office in what was formerly ,Chase Lounge and Mrs. Connolly will move into the office vacated by the Reg.istrar. Mrs. Connolly is the College Comptrol~~ . differentiation may provide a clue to whatever may trigger cancer by causing a possible lack which may prevent the cancerous cells from differentiating. Co-operating with the Wilkes group will be an English scientist studying in a Canadian ull'iverstty. Pointing up the international character of such scientific research will be the work of Dr. Victor Runeckles, formerly of the University of London, now at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Runeekles, now working in post-doctoral studies under a grant from the Canadian Science Foundation, as distinguished from the one given Dr. Michelini by the U. S. group, will co-operate with the local Dr. Francis J.

Perhaps some fast friendships have been begun. In this hectic week you have been learning a good deal about how to get around on campus and what is to be expected of you. Your Freshman Handbook and speeches have told you all that. Soon, classes will convene, and with them will come hazing. Usually the period of hazing makes Orientation Week seem routine. "Confusion and mixed emotions" are the order of the day. Every year the group administering the hazing has promised to do all they can to make it constru,ctive and worthwhile. However, each time the result has not been all that it could be. It is improving. So please •b ear with-it. · The frosh have been very good sports in the past and the upperclassmen, we hope, will go about the hazing with a mature, progressive viewpoint. · Hazing should be a constructive time of acquaintanceship with your classmates and the upperclassmen.

The change, in keeping with the amazing expansion program at Wilkes, will serve a dual purpose in creating a newer and more comfortable lounge for both men and women students, and providing additional living quarters on ,t he first floor of Butler Hall, men's dorm, which was the original location of the lounge. Among the many changes, the new lounge will provide a study hall, and for the less studious or those who simply want to relax there is a television set and a coffee On the walls are several original paintings, and the furniture is supplied from both the original lounge at Butler Hall and from former Chase Hall lounge. Mr. Whitby, Registrar, now has his offices in the old lounge at Chase Hall which has been completely redecorated with new office furniture and much more window space. The student lounge now occupies former classrooms which have been moved to a new acquisition at 275 South Franklin Street, just across the .street from the gymnasium . .

LOOK WHO'S BA:CK. A welcome back to all you fellow students and to you athletes, to George Ralston, who after a year's absence, is back as Dean of Men and Director of Athletics, and to Jim Ferris, who after four star-studded years as a Wilkes athlete, has returned to the College sports scene as assistant soccer coach. _ WHAT'S UP, DOC? With the first football game only a little over a week away, lots of action is due to pop around campus. J?ue to all the hustle-bustle of registration and because it is so early m the school year, not all the details have been ironed out; but we can let you kno what we know. 'T'he junior class, like all of us Wilkes well-w.i shers, anxious to see issance of school spirit, has so far taken the lead in setting the , fire. The juniors are planning a bonfire rally and pep session y ];'ark prior to the Wilkes-Hofstra clash and intend to have a g ht parade with the band, cheerleaders, majorettes, and of e, you, there whooping it up . . ,nother mammoth. rally will be the junior-sponsored Kernel Cotton ..... Kin' Pep Rally to be held at the College gym .on the eve of the 28th in preparation for the grid Colonels' battle against Lebanon Valley on the twenty-ninth at Annville. This big contest, the Bologna Bowl, will mark the first time that a Wilkes College athletic team will ever have played in a bowl game. A car caravan, sill in the planning stages, may be used as a means )f conveyance to Annville if student interest · in a caravan is heavy nough. Students sliping down to Annville in a caravan of cars creep,ng ith blue and gold streamers may have a good time honking things up to let people know that Wilke~is in town. If you would like to see a car caravan, or if you would li'j{e. to 1:i-ee your car in a car caravan, get in touch with either Dave Vann or me. While yours truly is not the .p ublicity director for the junior clas.s, one more small item should be recalled. As was mentioned before, all the final arrangements have not been made. As soon as every little thing is settled, the details will be published in the Beacon. Right now, however, is a good time to plan to sup.port the Colonels. This looks like a big year. The football team, drilling hard for their first encounter, may very well come up with a winning season; and their dike counterparts, Coach Reese's hooters, are seeking their fourth straight sweet slate. And Wilkes fans have an opportunity to see the squads play a total of 10 out of nineteen games at home. S o FALK CHOSEN TO HEAD P.11.0. IN N.J.

I h. t onm, or ·. van ·as is paren s November: Nineteen soccer candidates completed their first week of practice yesterday. After four days of conditioning drills, the hooters have donned their shin pads and knee socks for intra~quad scrimmages. Coach John Reese, faced with the prospect of rebuilding his top-notch squad after losing ten men through graduation, continued beefing his charges into shape for their first tilt, which is still three weeks away. The s occer squad will not be at full strength until shortly after registration when additional candidates including four returning lettermen will reinforce the team. Lettermen Ahmed Kazimi, Ed Masonis, Dave Polley, and Tony Bianco will join Jim Stocker and Nick Giordano - these last two mentioned already with a week of practice under their belts to form the nucleus of this year's squad. FERRIS APPOINTED TO ASSIST REESE WITH '56 SOCCER SOUAD Jim Ferris, one of the finest allaround athletes ever to graduate from Wilkes, and one of the spark plugs of coach John Reese's topnotch 1955 soccer squad, has returned to Wilkes this fall to serve Reese again-this time as assistant soccer coach. A native of Kingston, Ferris compiled an enviable record while wearing the Wilkes Blue and Gold. A three-sport letterman, he excelled in soccer, basketball and baseball. In his junior year, he was awarded the Beacon "Athlete of the Year" trophy and the Howie Davis Memorial trophy. Last year he was the first Colonel to be named for the ne:w Outstanding Basketball Player award.

The Colonels are dated for a tengame slate with some of the leading soccer schools in eastern collegiate circles. · The soccermen open their season away at Lafayette on October 4th and then travel to Hofstra on the 6th before returning to Kirby Park for Homecoming Day on the 13th to engage Rider College in the first of five straight games to be played at the home nets in Kirby Park.

Two Former Gridders Named "Decade's Best" In Wilkes P. Ra 0. Poll Al Nicholas, "Outstanding Back of the Decade", and Gerard Washco, "Outstanding Lineman of the Decade", will be presented with trophies on Alumni Homecoming Day, October 13, for being named top Wilkes gridders of the decade by ex-Wilkes football players in a recent poll conducted by the Wilkes College _public relations office. Nicholas, a native of New York, first entered Wilkes in 1949 and became an . immediate sensation. Exceptionally ·e lusive and known for his long runs, Nicholas, scored twenty-four touchdowns while running out of the single-wing tailback slot. Wa,shco, who lives with 'his wife and children in Nanticoke, was the bulwark in the Wilkes line · that came to be known as "The Seven Blocks of Anthracite". . A member of the first Wilkes team in 1946, he played tackle for four years, winding up his brilliant career with We-.i-Y4~'\::-ui:6rreril :wn'o · i~a 'th'e state in scoring. The selection of the two former gridders gives them automatic nomination to the Wilkes Hall of Fame, which the public relations office hopes to •p lace in the gymnasium upon completion of the current building program at Wilkes. Hofstra holds a 4-0 edge over Wilkes in its football series with the Colonels, so Coach Russ Pieton's charges will be doubly anxious to win th eir first from Hofstra as well as notching a victory toward a winning season, This year's reports from Long Island say that the Dutchmen lack depth, but Coach Howdy Myers can. always be counted on to field a-. team which will hold its own in, small college competition. Coach Russ Picton •has built his·: team around 12 lettermen. The· line looks solid and has plenty of experience with Bob "l\fol' Masonis, Bill Farish, J erry Loewen, Bob Yokavonus, Joe Reese, and Neil Dadurka ba~k from last year's squad. Bill Rinken, who played a year of football at Penn State, is also slated for action, as is end Ron Ercolani from Allentown. Ronnie Rescigno, running from the tailback slot, will direct a single-wing attack with Al Manarski, Art Tambur, Dick Wozniak and Sam Puma; all back from last year. Things picked u:p in the Colonel camp on Monday with the addition of four new candidates. The four, all with plenty of experience, are: center Mike Ternowski, back Boyd "Porky" Hoats, guard Jim Stephens, and end Frank Rossi. Mike T e r n o w s k i hails from Kingston High and also played for Wyoming Seminary, plus a hitch with the Seventh Army Headquarters club while in the service in German;)'· . Besides being a topnotch center and line-backer, he is also a fine .p unter and will give Sam Puma a run for that job. "Porky" Hoats was a standout at Meyers last year, both on the grid scene and on the diamond, where he pitched several no-hit games. Jim Stephens is a graduate of Plymouth High and the 185-pound guard will be giving Farish and Masonis a fight for a starting berth. Frank Rossi was a three-sport man at . South Huntington High School in New York, starring in football, wrestling and baseball. After hosting Hofstra, the football team will journey to Annville the following Saturday, September 29, to engage in its first bowl game, the Bologna Bowl, against Lebanon Valley College. The gridders are dated for a ninegame schedule: four of these games are home contests, as compared with only two home ·events last year. The college football fans will thus get to see some· fine smallcollege football.

Franklin St. will make possible another increase in dorm space, which would allow a greater number of these students to be admitted. The building will be adopted as a dorm sometime in the future. Mr. Whitby, Registrar, states that the frosh are fairly evenly divided in their selection of courses. This well 0 balanced proportion does not hold true in all respects however. The exception should gladden the hearts of our co-eds, because the males outnumber the females by a whopping 2 to 1 margin. Good odds in any league.

At last year's Kiwanis-sponsored affair, a slim crowd of 500· heads sat through a rainstorm to see the Colonels tackle the boys from Bloom. Tomorrow's clash-rainstorm or not-should attract a good crowd for several reasons. First of all, the game itself has drawing potential. It looks as if the game is going to be a close, hard-fought contest. Both teams will start out on the same foot, mutually opening each other's seasons. Last year's Colonel grid team was at a disadvantage in its opener for it traded punches with a squad which already had one fight under its belt. Both Wilkes and Hofstra are rather shorthanded. The Flying Dutchmen lack depth in their reserves while the Colonels lack not depth, but manpower. Only twenty-one gridders comprise the Blue and Gold squad, but they will be fighting to capture a victory from Hofstra after four previous fruitless encounters with the Long Island gridders. Secondly, the proceeds of the game are to go for charity. This fact may bring some souls to Kingston Stadium tomorrow night. But if a large attendance is on hand, it will be mainly be~au sc Wilkes College students want to see their team play. We can remember back to last fall and the complaints because the football schedule listed only two home games. Ho hum. . . . KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING Headed by Dave Vann, the School Spirit Committee, alter last night's blazing tmfire rally, has itself rallied to keep the fir e going.

The hooters are at their full s trength as far as manpower is concerned, but Reese is still faced with the problem of whipping his relatively inexperienced charges into shape for the October 4th opener a t Lafavette. At ~ recent squad meeting, Reese told his team that g etting into top shape is half the battle. He emphasized that a new club is bound to make mistakes and lose the ball, so its players must be in too rnnning condition to chase that ball and get it back. This -p ast week the hooters have been put through a rough training program with things beginning to pick up in the dike sector of Kii·b :,c Park.

Kruger yesterday issued an invitation .t o all students interested in public speaking or debating to attend the rE'gular Thursday morning meetings of the debate team in his office at 11. The debate ,t eam is preparing at these meetings for the coming '56'57 season, will debate the question "Should the U. S. discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries ? " The team will have a busy schedule this year, with some ten tournaments slated and several dual meets also listed. Returning to the team from last year's season are Jesse Choper, John Bucholtz, Bruce Warshall and Fred Roberts, who were finalists in the four-man :;;tate tournament in the spring. Also returning are Virginia Brehm, Seymour Holtzman and Frank Lally. Lally won the ·novice tourney at Scranton last year when paired with Warshall. Two newcomers have been added to the roster thus far this year as sophomore Gwen Evans and Robert Beneski join the veterans on the talkers' team. · Backbone of the team this year will be Choper, who last year placed third in ,t he state extemporaneous s·p eaking contest, has won o ver 70 per cent of his debates. An equally important pillar to the team will be Bucholtz, who, with Choper, fills out the senior position on the squad. NOMINATIONS BEING SOUGHT FOR 1 YEAR Of STUDY FOR W.C. HOMECOMING QUEEN In spite of the many attempts the school spirit committee has been making to boost the s•p irit here at Wilkes, it is apparent that interest in campus activities is still lacking. Tom Myers, Beacon editor, stated yesterday that no letters of nomination to select the Homecoming Queen have been received despite his announcement last week. In his editorial last Friday, Myers stated that any student on campus, either day or night, can nominate any Wilkes coed to reign over the Homecoming festivities by writing a "Letter to the Editor", stating the name of the candidate. Nominating letters may be mailed to or left at the Beacon office located at 159 South Franklin Street. All letters must be signed and if fewer than six nominations are received by the closing date, October 8, the editorial staff reserves the right to nominate enough candidates to bring the total to at least six. THE WAY THE BALL BOUNCES (continued from page 3) game. This big game is the Bolog na Bowl and will be ,p layed down in Annvill e, Pa. A car caravan is being organized for this important game. Dave Polley, who is in charge of arrangements, requests that those who can supply cars get in touch with Cliff Brothers, indicating to him if there is passenger space available. Polley also urges passengers to share expenses with the driver. If enough students are interested, buses will also be used as a means of conveyance to Annville. Students should see Sam Puma about this. So by caravan, busbound, or even by TWA, take a weekend off and get down to see that Bologna Bowl. Dr. Konstantin Symmons, Pro- of all Poli sh-British anthropolofessor and chairman of the depart- gist!i. ment of sociology and anthropology at Wilkes, has received a Social Science Research Council Grant. The grant concerns the topic: "Political and Social Thought in Poland Between the Two Wars" in the field of East European studies. Dr. Symmons, who has taught at Wilkes since 1945, received a year's leave of absence. He plans to further his studies in the New York and Washington libraries while making his home in Allentown. His wife has been working as a case-worker in the Family Service of Lehigh County for several years. Receiving his education both in Europe and the United States, he earned an A.M. in European History from the University of Warsaw and a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University.

Gawlas WC Photographer BONFmE PEP RALLY Dr. Kruger's Treatise SPARKED BY COLONEL On Extempore Contest In 2 Speech Journals by Janice Schuster More than three hundred students honored the college football t eam last Thursday n ight at one of the finest activities held at Wilkes in many years. School spirit was at a peak as the crowd displayed eager enthusiasm in cheering loudly to spur the team on to meet Hofstra, the first opponent. A caravan gathered at Gies Hall and paraded to the site of the bonfire with a Wilkes Colonel, portrayby Larry Groninger, in the lead. The noisy group could be heard for several blocks as horns blared and a pick-up band played peppy school songs. Sirens screamed as Kingston firemen joined the gala affair to insure the safety of the pep rally. The students gathered in a large circle around the blazing fire and the ·p e r k y cheerleaders. After much vigorous cheering, Dean of Men George Ralston s·p arked the bonfire crowd as he did an original Indian dance. Ralston, attired in a brightly colored Indian blanket, declared, "This is the finest pep session ah've evah seen here at Wilkes!" Coach Russ Picton and his scrappy football team were introduced to the noisy group by the team cocaptains, Ron Rescigno and Bill Farish. Afterwards, Pat Kennedy and Larry Gr oninger Jed the cheerleaders and the crowd in individual t eam cheers. By the light of the last f ew sparks of the fire , T ed Jones direc t ed everyone in the singing of the Alma Mater. Then Dave Vann, chair man of the rally, instructed the frosh to march back to the campus behind the upperclassmen, who headed the par ade in sporty, new (a nd old) convertibles. Back on campus, the spir ited crowd a ssembled in front of Gies Hall wher e, after a few final cheers, Dan Gawlas, official Wilkes and Beacon photographer, is a vailable on campus in the P.R.O. photo lab. Dan is charged with photographing all s•por t s and social events at the College. He also maintains a private studio in Swoye rville. tho pep se5:;;ic;in rnlminat(ld, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, associate professor of English at Wilkes, has recently been notified that one of his latest articles, "The Extempore Speaking 'C ontest" , is currently appearing in the September issue of two professional journals, The Speech Teacher and The Register of American Forensic Association. Another composition, "The Debate Judge as a ,Critical Thinker", will appear in this month's issue of Today's Speech. This brings the grand total of articles by Dr. Kruger, which have been published, to 13 and the number, which have been accepted, to The dance is to be both square and round, and calling the dance will be two of the area's top callers, Carl Hanks and Harry Wilkie. With their bands the two are wellknown thr oughout Wyoming Valley and have been received with enthusiasm wherever they have gone. It was announced by John Stahl, g eneral chairman of the dance, that during intermission, Sam Lowe will get the ·pep rally underway with the cheerleaders directing yells and songs. Another intermission 'treat' will be a special square dance set composed of John Stahl, Dave Vann, Sam Lowe, and Ted Jones and their partners, who will give an exhibition dance for those less accomplished in the fine arts of stompin' and clappin'. The four have been square dance .enthusiasts for a number of years and they feel that "if we can do it, any one can." Chairman of the dance is John Stahl, who is filling his first spot as general chairman of a dance. In char.ge of ,publicity is Cliff Brothers, chairman of the only standing committee of the Junior class and working with him as a special committee to a ssist in publicity and art work are Larry Groninger, Janice Schuster, and Jackie Oliver. The ticket chairman is Roy Hayward. Maryan Powell, chairman of the refreshment committee, stated that a variety of soda, plus potato chips and pretzels, will be available for the evening's stompers. Tickets , which have been going fa st, can be purchased from any Junior or at the ticket office at the gymnasium for 50 cents. NOTICE Dr. Arthur N.

It was a great indication that the School Spirit Committee is doing the job it set out to do. The students really responded. The· rally got no coverage on these pages, much to our regret, since it was an off-again, on-again affair, due to the difficu~ties encountered in securing a suitable place to hold it. Limitdtions of time and space had to be considered. In the end, the site selected turned out to be ideal for the type of rally. The planners received excellent cooperation from the King~ton Police and Fire Departments, who went along in their usual gracious and courteous manner. A vote of thanks is hereby extended to those worthy gentlemen. The parade was fairly well planned and executed, although it looked rather haphazard. Too many automobiles. Perhaps for the next one (and after the fine job done, a next one seems inevitable) some semblance of a marching parade can be arranged, with the band and the students all marching. Perhaps with torches. If anyone is to ride, let's make it the members of the team. After all, they are the ones who are being honored. . All in all, the rally was quite a success. It showed that the students at Wilkes are capable of putting on a good show. Let's have more.

The council discussed plans for several projects and formed committees to take action on three major iss ues. Ron Tremayne, Ginny Brehm, Larry Amdur and Don Reynolds are the committee responsible for the improvement of the parking lot on the northwest corner of South Franklin and South Streets. They will meet with Dr. Farley to see if the curbing around this property can be removed or lowered. This would relieve the difficulty encountered by the users of this lot in entering and leaving. The council will meet with Dr. Reii, who is chairman of the Wilkes College United Fund Committee. This year, the fund is expanded to include more charities thereby cutting down the number of times the student body will be asked to contribute to local organizations. The tentative goal is set at $2,000 to be equally divided between the student body and the faculty. With the enrollment of the college at nearly 1,000, the amount •per student will be approximately one dollar, while the faculty will be asked to donate slightly less than seven dollars per person. Still in the formulative stage is an All-College dance to be held late in November. In an effort to promote interest in intercollegiate activity on a social level, the council discussed the possibility of forming a male vocal quartet to enter into competition with similar groups from other colleges. If such a unit materializes, it is planned to introduce them to the student body as part of the entertainment at the All-College dance.

Small as college linemen go, Farish never-the-less cast a tall s_hadow last Saturday night as his spe'ed and aggressiveness hi,g hlighted his performance out of his guard spot. . In o·n e particular sequence of four plays, ··Farish was seen to make three straight tackles and then: pounce on a Hofstra fumble. The defeat suffered by the Colonels in the se~ond ' half of the game Saturday night was one for which we lay the responsibility right in the lap of the Administration. ·. 1n three weekf.3, a very short time, Russ Picton .triec:l to weld cm in!ercollegiate foptball team <iH1t of.

All we want is one assistant ·coach. NOWlll And before someone brings up the old barb about not being a football foundry, we would like to be put on record_as not aa~ vacating the hiring of Waldorf, Tatum, or Brennan. They alIready have jobs and that's not the type of .football for Wilkes. But it seems a shame that a group of men; who want nothing and get nothing for playing ball, except the fun of the sport, should not have the help they need to be welded into a team. The potential of this year's Colonels is great. Th~y have the drive, desire, and the native ability. . But one man .can't see all and do all.

And Ralston has · seen som e pretty good football teams. Because last Saturday's tilt was the first game, the boys were naturally fiervous. When a person is nervous, he tends to tire easily. Then along came two quick touchdowns that took the heart out of the Colonels.. You saw what followed. But so what? The game was played last Saturday. We don't pretend to make excuses, and we don't mean that the team won't lose any more games. •But we expect to see Picton's charges in some pretty good contests. If we may s_uggest a happy parallel, the 1955 soccer squad copped only one victo1·y in their first five starts. Then they caught fire to chalk up a 5-3-3 season, the best record ever com1iiled by a Wilkes soccer team. ODDSERVATIONS . . .

Looking for their first win over Lafayette in the soccer wars against the Leopards, the Blue and Gold hooters will field a relatively new and inexperienced club. Coach John Reese has been faced with the prospect of rebuilding his top-notch 1955 squad after losing ten men through graduation.

After a scoreless first half, WC threatened once when Ronni e Rescigno broke loose for a forty yard run that brought the ball down to the Hofstra 17. After that, the Blue and Gold attack stalled. In the second half, Hofstra's Charley Pease ran back the opening kickoff for 89 yards and a TD. After that, it was all Hofstra. Included in the final scoring was a blocked punt and a recovery for a touchdown, a 59-yard run through the middle of the Colonel line, and a safety. This was the fifth meeting between the two schools and Wilkes has yet to walk away with a victory. · HOMECOMING BONFIRE TO INTRODUCE QUEEN INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL SOCCER Any group interested in playing Coach: John Reese intramural football should submit Home Field: Kirby Park a team roster as soon as possible.

College Men * * * * by Cliff Kobland The Colonel grid squad moves down to Annville, Pa., this Saturday to encounter some more Flying Dutchmen; this time, the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College. The game sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Lebanon, will be the first bowl game that a Blue and Gold squad will have ever participated in. This one is the annual Bologna Bowl game, played every year at Lebanon. The Colonels will be looking for their first victory of the season, after taking a beating last Saturday night at the hands of some, other Flying Dutchmen team, those of Hofstra College. Wilkes will have mostly the sairie line-up that o~ened last Saturday., Ron Resclgno, star tailback, in-jured his leg in last week's battle and it is up in the air now as to whether or not h e will see action this Saturday.

And from all reports, Lebanon Valley looks good. As Lebanon Coach Ellis R. McCracken puts it, "Prospects are the brightest since I have been coach at L.V.C." And Coach McCracken has some good reasons to be happy. He has 16 returning lettermen and has a very fast backfield headed by a youngster who ,w as ineligible last year beacuse h e transfered from Dartmouth. His name is Dick Smith, and he will be seeing plenty of action at the fullba ck slot. Besides a fast and powerful backfield, L VC has a good line spearheaded by diminutive guard Joe Toy with two fine ends in Glenn Thomas and Ross Plasterer. The Bologna Bowl starts at 8 P.M.

GYMNASIUM• BEACON, Committee - - - - - ' ~~=:a:~~!::e ::~ t::c!l:~:s; ANDERSON TO PLAY 00 by Mary Louise Onufer The biggest bonfire - pep rally of the year will be on the eve of the Homecoming game with Ursinus. The Beacon, headed by Torn Myers, and the school spirit committee under Dave Vann, have been working to get full co-operation of all the students while Jack Curtis and Russ Picton have b.e en doing the same with the Alumni. So, all in all, this should be the best remembered event of the football season. The event will begin at 6 :30, when the student body will assemble on Chase Lawn to watch the Freshmen carry Jud to his crema tion at the bonfire at Baldwin field. There, Ron Rescigno, football captain, will light the bonfire and begin the pep rally. The football and soccer teams will be ,p resented, and their captains and coaches will speak. It is also believed that Al Nicholas and Gerard Washco, WC back and lineman of the decade, respectively, will be there. The festivities will be highlighted by the presentation of the third annual homecoming queen and her princesses. The queen ,will be escorted to h er throne by Colonel Wilkes and the princesses by Ahmad Kaz imi and Bill Farish. Perhaps we should mention h ere that anyone who has not nominated a homecoming queen candidate and wishes to do so, please drop a letter to the Beacon editor. After all, this is your queen. Finally, the Freshmen will cremate poor "Jud", who, after all he's been through dese rves some pal'ticipation in th ese royal festiviti es. The bonfire will be ended by a parade to the Wilkes gym . Gil Gregory, parade ch airman, anno unced this s.c hedule. The queen and princesses will lead the parade wit h Dr. Farley and the Deans. The student body wi ll follow on foot and then the football and soccer t eams and their coaches in cars. Osterhout WiHExhibit titerature a,n:d Photos On Sesquicen.bnnial The Osterhout Li brary, Wilkes' cultural neighbor in the first block of South Franklin Street, holds its exhibition of Sesqui-centennial pictures and photos this weekend. Pictures, maps and books tell the story of Wilkes-1Barre and its development from the sleepy agricultural town it was 15 years ago to the industrial city it is today. ·Coal mining, transportation, industry, buildings, disasters and entertainment are all features of this graphic glimpse of local history, past and present. The main sources of the pictures are the Historical Society, Ace Hoffman Studios, the Wilkes-Barre Transit ·Corporation, Ralph DeWitt and Gilbert McC!intock, as well as other residents of the Valley. The hours are 3 to 5 P.M. and 7 to 9 P.M. today and 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. on Saturday and Sunday at the Osterhout Library Annex. 8 Four Big Changes City Police Set .Ban Don Reynolds_, president of the Student Council, announced on Tuesday that several new procedures for student activities will be instituted on the campus. In a meeting held at Harding Lounge, the council decided that in the future, all requests for organizational funds will follow a standard pattern. Forms will be available from Treasurer Larry Amdur. Requests must be made in person. United Fund co-chairmen Neil Dadurka and Ed Kotula and Don On Overt1·me Parking During the •past months the City officials have tried to accomodate Wilkes ·College students by extending many courtesies and by offering every possible consideration. Unfortunately, a few students have taken advantage of the desire of the <City officials to cooperate and have abused the courtesies that have been extended. In consequence, it is now necessary for the police to enforce the law - to the letter. Starting Monday, October 8, cars parked on South Ri ver Street after 4 P.M. will be towed away - costs $5.00, plus $2.50 for the ticket; and cars in prohibited areas or parked beyond the time allowance will .be tagged and a $2.50 fine will be collected. City and Police officials regret that this action is necessary, but they cannot keep traffic moving or serve the other citizens of the city without enforcing the traffic laws. They w ill appreciate your cooperation for they derive no pleasure from fining any student.

Scheduled for tonight's dance will be an original skit at intermission time as well as vario us novelty dances throughout the evening. Those who attended last year's 'Fall Ball' remeber the very amusing skit ,presented by some of the members of the club in which a take-off from an "actual" operation was done. Tonight's skit is another original one which should also prove to be very enjoyable. George Weaver and Tom Dreisbach were appointed by President Leslie P. Weiner as gen eral cochairm en of the dance. The Publicity Committee consists of Ronnie Olshefski, Sal Valenti, and Steve Demchalk . Bill -Pembridge is Band Committee head. Thanks are given to Barbara Plesko who helped in the making· of posters. Fifty cents per person will be the admission charge. The "Fall Ball" is the first of two annual dances given by the cl ub.

The club's calendar has made provisions for members of the faculty and members of the community to speak to the biologists at specified times during the year on various phases o:f biology. Scheduled also in the curriculum are movies, re search projects, and outings. NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS Since the first meeting of the Tribunal, I have received conflicting comments from students regarding the character of hazing and its effect upon the entire student body. Several persons have informed me that the hazing has been handled by the ,proper committees and by the students in a constructive fashion. Others inform me that certain individuals have formed "kangaroo courts" and are y_iolating hazing policies established by the Student Council. These students sho uld recognize that in so doing they are placing themselves in op pcsition to the representatives of th e student body and to the Administration of the College. I have been happy to hear, however, that the Stud ent Council is trying to correct thes e abuses and hope that the stud ent body will support their elected representatives in checking abuses of the plans developed by their own responsible representatives. Signed, Eugene S. Farley President �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - Homecoming Pep Rally The School Spirit Committee has lined up an excellent program for the bonfire rally to be held the night before the Homecoming game. The Queen and the Princesses will be crowned. Both the soccer and football squads will be present. We may even see Al Nicholas and Gerard Wash co in attendance. Plans are being worked out for a snake dance (perhaps by torchlight) over to the rally by the frosh. As you can see, quite a bit of planning and work have been put into this . by the persons involved. There are a few things they would like to see YOU do. l. Leave your cars on campus. Or if you don't want to walk over and watch the snake dance or even participate in it, stay out of the homeward parade with your car. 2. Attend the rally. 3. Cheer at the rally. Everything else has been done for you. You. need only to cheer the teams on. Let's have some fine co-operation on this and make this Homecoming one that will be long remembered.

STETZ~• ~ The Wilkes College Mixed Chorus is to be featured on the Parents' Day Program, which · will take place Sunday, October 14. Mr. Ferdinand Liva will be director of the chorus again this year. Audrey Bartlett, sophomore, will be filling the shoes of Ruth Remley, former accompanist for the chorus. Miss Bartlett, having studied piano for 13 years, is exceptionally •Well qualified for this position. As a result of winning no less than four superior ratings as pianist in auditions for the Northeastern Federation of Music Clubs, Audrey plans to give a recital for the Federation tomorrow in Dushore, Pa. Also, next Spring, Miss Bartlett plans to represent Wilkes by entering the Young Artists Competition at Pittsburgh. Ml'. Liva is pleased with the many new voices added to the chorus this year, the Music Department is larger than ever with more than its share of the new freshman class. The Mixed Chorus plans to sing many new numbers this year, largely in the same style as in the past, with a few of the old favorites repeated. WC Male Chorus to Use St. Stephen's Church For Evening Rehearsal by Richard J. Myers Same Lowe, director of the Male Chorus, announced on Tuesday that the usual three hours of reharsal each week will be augmented by an additional session. The tentative time will ,be every Monday evening at St. Stephen's Church. Lowe said that this year the Chorus, with nearly forty men, is too large to be able to have satisfactory rehearsals in the three onehour lunch ,p eriods through the school week. Several of the members have noon classes on various days. In order to have a fuller representation and more thorough coverage of the material to be used this year, the evening meetings are being scheduled. Lowe also announced that the members are planning to hold their Annual Fall Festival sometime in the near future. No definite plans have been made as yet, but the members are urged to submit any suggestions concerning the type of affair they would like tp have. Because this is one of the group's two major social events of the year, the men are asked to give their full support to make the party a successful one. Several new numbers have been added to supplement such old favorites as the Fred Waring arrangements of "Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and "Dry Bones", traditional college songs and selections from musical comedies.

A feature of the evening was a beautiful display of dolls by Elnora Metroka. This year, as one of its charity •p rojects, the sorority will dress dolls for Christmas for the Salvation Army. Qualifications for membership were reviewed, and a history of the sorority was read. Freshman Revolt Slopped al Slarl; Funeral Monday All of Wilkes College was in mourning on Monday, for "Jud" was laid to rest. Many curious upper-classmen as well as the lowly freshmen paid homage to the guest of honor, "Jud". For those who don't know, "Jud" is a dummy which was hung in effigy by the freshman class, representing a sophomore tribunal member. This was the froshs' last sign of active resistance to the haz-· ing program. Since then they have accepted the dictates of the upper-classmen and have entered intq the fun and enjoyment of the hazing program. But back to the funeral. Jud laid in state on Chase Lawn from 10 until noon. His casket, although not pretentious, was the hearty work of two upperclassmen, Carroll Davenport and Warren Glass. At noon the services for the dummy began. All freshmen were obliged to visit the casket and "button" before the "deceased". Then under the direction of Johnny Saba and other tribunal members the freshmen escorted the casket of "Jud" on a last trip around the campus . and back to Chase Hall, and so went "Jud" to rest. This was the first attempt of the sophs to regain their control after the Student Council had pre-empted last Thursday's Tribunal meeting to bring the freshmen under control. The meeting was well attended by both upperclassmen and freshmen. Don Reynolds stated that this hazing program can be a success only if all .the student .body participate. All upperclassmen are asked to co-operate with the tribunal from now until the conclusion of the hazing period. "The hazing program is not a time to settle ,p ersonal grudges," commented Reynolds. So let's keep the rest of the hazing period free from grudge or vengeance punishment. · Freshmen should be only punished for real offenses not imaginary ones. Reynolds stated that tribunal meetings will be held every Thursday in the Gym at 11 o'clock. All freshmen are obliged to attend and an attendance check will be made. So from now on let's make the hazing period a success. To do this it is necessary for ,b oth upperclassmen and freshmen to lend whole-hearted support to Johnny Saba and his sophomore tribunal members. NEED MONEY?

With Ronnie With only one day of rest after yesterday's clash with Lafayette, the Colonel kickers will leave for Hempstead later .this afternoon for tomorrow's contest with the Hofstra College hooters. The team will stay at Hofstra overnight and then will face .their hosts the followi1:1g morning at 11 o'clock on the soccer field. - Coa~h John Reese has been pleased with the way the squad is shaping up. The line has looked sharp and is starting to play as a unit, and · the backfield has shown plenty of spirit and fight. Reese's netmen are anxious to cop Saturday's tilt as the two following games are with Rider, a t eam which always gives Wilkes a tough time, and big-time Temple, which perennially fields a powerhouse. Soccer is a big s,p ort out Long Island way, and Hofstra always comes up with a strong squad. Last year's meeting between the two schools saw_ Wilkes notch a 3-2 victory in ii tight tussle._ Playing in their second-straight Kiwanis-sponsored game, against another team of Flying Dutchmen, this time from Lebanon Valley, the Co 1 o n e 1 s suffered their secondstraight setback, this .time by a score of 3·9-6, at Lebanon last Saturday night. Completely fooled by the faking and passing of Valley's capable quarterback, Dom Garda, the Blue and Gold was never in the ballgame. Garda threw two quick TD passes late in the first quarter and early in the second. Then, the Dutchmen tallied once -before intermission and led at the half, 20-0. Leading 26-0 by virtue of another Valley score, the Colonels broke into the scoring column in Rescigno i;idelined by a bad leg, the tailhack chores were shared by Ray Yanchus and Dick Wozniak. Wozniak was the man who sparked the Colonel touchdown drive that started on the Blue and Gold 18 and ended in the Valley end zone with "Woz" tossing to end Neil Dadurka for the score. But ·t he Colonels were too far behind to pose any serious threat to Lebanon. The game was the sixth annual Bologna Bowl_ a nd th e fir st bo~l game that Wilkes has ever part1cipated in. This was also the first win in six tries in the Bologna Bowl for the Flying Dutchmen. In a post-game ceremony, Wozniak received the outstanding player award for Wilkes and Dom Garda won a like award for Lebanon. AND VARIETY SHOP Books - Supplies • Novelties Subscriptions Hours:· 9°12 - Administration Fiddles, Fans Burn Anyone who attended the Bologna Bowl last Saturday night at Lebanon, saw dramatic proof of what we contended in this space last week. A strong Lebanon Valley College squad romped over our Colonels, 39-6. But the Lebanon club isn't that strong. _ However, the line of the Colonels showed up very poorly. Playing straight football, the Dutchmen went nowhere. But on any play they ran that involved more than elementary play, the Wilkesmen were easily deceived. On several screen passes, the offensive set up the Colonels in a way that would have been beautiful to watch, if you were not a Wilkes fan. The line looked mostly good on defense, although they pulled a few rocks. The ·pass defense and the backfield ,defensively were poor. Coach Russ Picton has done a fine job in the time he has had available. He deserves a lot of credit for the unit he has formed. But he has not enough time to cover all the subtleties of line play, work with his backs, run scrimmages, and so forth ad infinitum, every day.

Neil Dadurka, president of the club, stated that since these dances are not to make money for the club, but rather for the benefit of the student body, it is urged that everyone help the Lettermen by buying as many ticke_ts as he can.

An ankle injury which kept speedster Ronnie Rescigno out of action in the disastrous s econd half against Hofstra forced the Blue and Gold's biggest scoring threat to sit out the entire Lebanon Valley contest. Ron was joined on the sidelines by stalwart guard Bob Masonis, who had suffered a hand injury. One bright prospect is tha:t both boys will soon be back in action. DICK WOZNIAK 'ATHLETE OF WEEK' FOR BOLOGNA BOWL PERFORMANCE COSTLY MISTAKES. It was costly mistakes that cost the the Colonels the Bologna Bowl loss . And these mistakes were defensive errors made by the line-backers and by the backfield. The forward wall was rough. All its members played a steady, hard Wins Kiwanis Trophy As Leading Colonel In Press-Coach Ballot game. Four of the six touchdowns scored against the Colonels came on pass plays or as a result of pass plays. Except for Sam Puma, who did a neat job of backing up the line, the defense past the line of scrimmage was weak. It was here that we saw several costly mistakes in pass defense made. LACK OF TALENT. Lack of talent, we feel, is only 4 per cent of the footballers' trouble. We sincerely believe that the team is high in potential. Of course, Picton could always use n ew faces on his squad to give some deµth to the team. LACK OF A LINE COACH. The Colonel line has looked good in the two games ,p layed to date; but with a line coach drilling the forward wall, perhaps Picton could turn most of his time into correcting the defense weaknesses in the backfield. George Rlaston has given some of his free time to drill the line; Al Nicholas spent his week-long vacation doing the same; and in between time, co-captain Bill Farish has been putting the line through its paces. A full-time line coach, whom the players deserve, certainly would not hurt the team or the school's name as a non-football factory. LACK OF HUSTLE. We think that the team's hustle has been great. We feel that hustle and spirit are all-important as some games can almost be won on spirit alone. We saw the team stop for a breather only once - after Hofstra's first two quickies. Someone remarked to me that the team isn't giving me very much praise-worthy material to say. To paraphrase John Paul Jones's famous remark, "I have just begun to write." I hope. JUST SLIPPING AROUND THE EDGES . No use kicking . . . Jim Stocker, running at outside right on the soccer team, has a wicked foot; but he often fails to keep his toe down when kicking for the goal. Consequently, he sometimes lofts the -b all over the nets instead of into them. At a recent scrimmage, Stocker changed his tactics as he used his usually weak head - no insult intended, Jim - to score a neat goal and to bounce some neat passes to his mates. After the scrimmage, Stocker jokingly announced that in future games he was going to head everything that came his way even if it was rolling on the ground. Quick like a bunny ... With the ball one yard away from a touchdown, the football team was so anxious to score against Lebanon Valley that on their fourth down, the Colonels did not_calmly file from their huddle in their snaky pattern. They just ran up to the line of scrimmage, took their places, and banged over. That's our Zack ... Zack Zachman, the hooters' student manager, was heard to say the following after soccer practice had ended for the day : "I guess I'll take two laps 'cuz I'm goin' to a farmer dance tonight, and I don't want to get tired too fast." SPORTS EDITORIAL (continued from page 4) easily resent it. We have enough difficulties without adding dissention to the woes of coach Russ Picton. · So, the only alternative we can see is to find a lirie coach. The Colone1s deserve more of a break from the Administration than they've been getting. The fans we've talked to are all of the same mind. They want action! - tim WOZNIAK AND HIS BOLOGNA BOWL TROPHY KEG LEAGUE READY MATTIOLI ELECTED Reginald Mattioli was elected FOR COMPETITION Anyone who can lift a bowling ball is eligible to join the 1956 Wilkes College Mixed Bowling League.

H e will be assisted by Charles Robinson, house secreary; and Ira Himmel and Edwin Vail, dormitory house officers. by Barry Miller This week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week'' award goes to speedy tailback Dick Wozniak. For his sparkling efforts against Lebanon Valley in the Bologna Bowl, Dick not only r eceived our acclaim, but he also was presented with a trophy from the spon sors of the game for being the outstanding player on th e field for Wilkes College. Dick, called on to fill the vacancy caused by Ronni e Rescigno's leg injury, did a more than adequate job. Besides taking over as field general, Wozniak led the Colonels' attack with 91 yards in 23 carries. After Dick had spear-headed an 85-yard drive withnis running, he flipped a short pass to end Neil Dadurka for the lone Wilkes touchdown . Coach Picton, although disappointed in the final outcome of the game, was pleased with .the job Wozniak turned in. Russ feel s that Dick has the potential to develop into one of the finest tailbac:ks we've ever had. The brightest aspect of all is that Dick, who is a junior, did such a fine job even though the position of tailback is comparatively new to him. He ordinarily works out of the halfback's spot. Dick, w hile attending Nanticoke Hi.g h School, lettered in baseball as well as football. Here at Wilkes, h e is majoring in Commerce and Finance. TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Price To Studenta 198 SO.

Both princesses, like the queen, were chosen for the honor on the basis of poise, beauty, and charm. Tonight, pert, blue-eyed, blond-haired Marilyn Carl will be crowned Homecoming Queen of 1956. Miss Carl, who will reign over all of the homecoming festivities culminating with the informal dance at Irem Temple Country Club, was chosen by the BEACON from 14 other candidates for her poise, beauty, and charm. They will be feted at a swirl of social activities this Homecoming Week end, and will be given gifts by the Beacon and the Alumni Association.

IDC Homecoming Party At College Cafeteria Will Honor Royal Trio Princess Debbie Princess Debbie is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. George Deisher· of Kingston. The twenty-year old member of the royal trio is a member of the junior class at the college, majoring in elementary education. by Cliff Brothers The second annual inter-dormitory-sponsored Homecoming Party will be held in the cafeteria after the football game tomorrow. The party will begin immediately after the game and continue until sixthirty. Jim Moser, president of the council, announced that the new Homecoming queen will be there to greet the students, alumni and faculty. The I.DC initiated the Homecoming Party in the cafeteria last year, and this year the affair is considered one of the major campus events. A large attendance is expected and preparations are completed to accommodate all who attend. The committee in charge of the affair is headed by Earl Bahl of Warner Hall, a sophomore; Judy Wenger, a freshman from McClintock Hall; and Bill Duffy, a senior from Weckesser Hall; are the other two members of the committee. The upstairs section of the cafeteria which will be decorated is reserved for the occasion. In addition, the IDC is supplying free cokes, pretzels and potato chips for refreshments. Space and records will be ·prepared for dancing, and card tables will be set aside for bridge and ·pinochle fans. The IDC wants to emphasiz.e the point that all students, faculty and alumni are cordially invited and encouraged to attend. She is a lovely blue-eyed, honey blond, but unfortunately for the male population at Wilkes, she is already engaged to Howard Allen who will be her escort for most of the Homecoming activities. A graduate of Homestead High School in Pittsburgh, our ,princess will long be remembered there for her interest in the chorus, dramatics and the French Club. Debbie is also an accomplished pianist. .Being a member of the National Honor Society in high school, proves that beauty can be accompanied by brains. Princess Debbie was recipient of two women's club scholarships to further her education. Queen Marilyn Princess Carolyn Princess Carolyn is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry F. Goeringer, Sr., of East Dallas. ,She is a junior at the college and her major is business education. The twenty-one-year old brownhaired, blue-eyed beauty is a dormitory student at Sterling Hall where she has been elected to serve as social chairman of the women's dorm. ,B eing a transfer student does not hinder Princess Carolyn's activities at Wilkes. Proof of the fact is that she is a member of the :I nterDormitory Council, the junior class council, Theta Delta Rho, and Cue 'n' Curtain. At Wyoming Seminary, from where she graduated in 1953, Priness Carolyn was active in the Mixi Chorus and on the basketball 'lm. .She is a very avid sports ;husiast. )ave Polley will escort the prins to most of the Homecoming ,ities scheduled for the week- STUDENT COUNCIL DISCUSSES BUDGET Princess Debbie BEACON MEETING There will be a meeting of the BEACON staff today at noon in the office.

The .Student Council met Tuesday night in Harding Hall to consider the budgets received frorn campus organizations. President Don Reynolds refered all proposals to a s•p ecial committee for further study. Due to a decrease in funds allotted for student activities, the Council will be forced to seek more funds from the Administration. The committee has appealed the unfavorable activities fund allotment and was scheduled to meet with Dr. Farley some time this week. The coronation of the queen will take place at the big bonfire-pep rally slated for tonight at Baldwin Field. Dr. Farley, assisted by Gloria Dran, the first homecoming queen, will officially crown the lovely coed. She will then be presented with gifts befitting her royalty by Tom Myers, Beacon editor, and Mrs. Anita Janerick of the Alumni Association. Following the pep rally, Queen Marilyn (in a Ford Thunderbird, courtesy of Motor Twins), will lead a parade back to the gym. The queen will be guest of honor at the Alumni Warm-up Party at O'Connell's Kingston House Friday evening, and, later that night, will make an official appearance at the Big Band Blast to be held in the gym. Saturday, too, will be a very busy day for the 20-year old junior. She will begin her royal duties at 11 by pre~iding over the soccer game at Kirby Park, and will also appear at the Wilkes-Ursinus football game in Kingston. At that time, . she will be escorted by three members of the Marine Reserve detachment from Wyoming. Following the game, the busy queen will attend the Inter-Dormitory Council party in the Cafeteria. Saturday evening, Queen -Marilyn will windup he royal activities as guest of honor at the Alumni informal dance at lrem Temple Country Club. Miss Carl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Merton Carl of 68 Bedford Street, Forty Fort, is a music education major at Wilkes, and is ac, tive in both the Band and Theta Delta Rho. A talented singer, Marilyn is a member of the Orpheus Glee Club.

Gene Stickler, freshman, has the dist inction of being a r eal "Kentucky Colonel", since he hails from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and now is the official "Wilkes Colonel". Gene began his duties last week in the Ithaca game and did a fine job. He has lots of pep and adds color and life to the cheering section. His big smile and the tip of his hat are quickly becoming tradition on t he sidelines . The •Colonel f r o m Kentucky works well with the cheerleaders, since he was a cheerleader himself in his high school days, down at Fern Creek High, Louisville. He is majoring in philosophy and religion here in the land of the Colonels, while living with friends of his family in the city. Plans are being made to purchase a new outfit for the Colonel, one with more life and color. Also, it will be more -p ermanent. Head cheerleader Phyllis Walsh is quite happy about the new addition to the sidelines crew and hopes that it does a lot to add spirit to the Wilkes cheering section. HAZING RETAINED Last Friday night, in the lobby of the gym, .the Student Council voted 6-4 in favor of the Sophomores retaining F r o s h hazing. However, the ,Student Council will help supervise the proceedings. Members of the Tribunal were present along with Reginald Mattioli, president of the Sophomore Class. The necessity of hazing was discussed and it was emphasized that hazing is being backed by the Lettermen's Club and the veterans on the campus. Some of the questions the Student Council asked Mattioli were as follows: "Are the Sophomore Class and the upperclassmen behind you in the Frosh hazing?" "Do you think you can run ha,zing better than you have been doing?" Mattioli assured the Council that the Sophomore Class would make the remaining days of hazing the best ever. How about it gang?

Mike, in his second year with the Colonels, was the leader of a hardcharging line which opened up holes offensively and dropped the Ithaca backs in their own backfield defensively. The 6-foot, !WO-pound ex-serviceman tackled so hard that he twice caused the Ithaca backs to fumble, one of which he himself recovered. Big number 74 spent most of the evening in the Ithaca backfield stopping the up-staters from New York before they could get started. Dydo, also a star baseball ,performer, is the regular first sacker on the diamond nine. Nick Giordano, the shiftiest ballhandler and probably the best shot on the soccer team, broke into the starting lineup last year as a freshman and ended the season tied for top scoring honors although he did not register a goal until midway during the campaign. This year Nick is starting out on the right foot. He scored one goal on a terrific head shot and picked up an assist for the other goal scored. ,1 · . • (j/tf:1 vrf(Jlflf!/l, Cite (/lteol/enng tdfllf 11 EA " o· ¥:S- a r-e- · :. ffl·.

The first homecoming took place back in November, 1948, the year after the South River Street institution's football team was first called the Wilkes Colonels. This initial homecoming welcomed back graduates of both Bucknell University Junior College and of Wilkes College, which was in its second year was a four-year school. The opponent for this first homecoming game was a small college located elsewhere in this valley. Although this was not the first meeting between the two schools, it was the start of a homecoming grid classic between King's and Wilkes that lasted for half a decade. Wilkes College defeated the Kingsmen in the first homecoming game by a score of 26-0. Homecoming in 1949 and in '50 saw Ralston's Raiders claim two more victories, 47-7 and 14-12. But in '51 and ·•52, the King's gridders turned the tables and took the last two games ,p layed between the two teams. BE'CAUSE ONtY VICEROY In homecoming games in following years, the Blue and Gold gridders were defeated by Hofstra and Moravian. Last season the Wilkes · eleven battled to a scoreless tie with Bridgeport before the onlooking alumni. Twice As Many Filters So this means that in eight homecoming contests, the Colonels have recorded but three victories. And all three have been at the expense of King's College. We were still struggling with our grade school geography during the Wilkes-King's series and did not focus our eyes on either of the two colleges. But from what we understand from reading copies of old newspapers; from viewing photographs of torchlight ,p arades past the King's ,College Main Building, and of pep rallies held right on Public Square; and from seeing the "Beat King's" sign still scrawled in white on the red brick King's Science Building, we are convinced that it was a great local football rivalry. But the past is a bucket of ashes, we guess. ROOTERS COME HOME FOR HOMECOMING Tomorrow is really a big day for the soccer team.

But the field has no accomodations for spectators other than they stand around on the sidelines. Usually this makes little or no difference as the soccer tea.in very rarely gets the student support that it deserves. But with a large number of grads in town who would like to see the hooters in action, we would like to see the soccer game on Homecoming scheduled as part of a big doubleheader played in the football stadium right before the gridders take the field. Maybe then the hooters, as well as the gridders, can pick up a few more supporters.

The scor e was 2-0. Although the team he took to New York was r elatively inexperienced, •Coach John Reese returned home proud of the showing his boys made. Goalie Bob Sokol, playing in his first soccer game, held the Hofstra kickers scoreless. Ed Masonis, A hmad Kazimi and Tony Bianco played outstanding games at halfback; and Dave ·Polley turned in a noteworthy performance at fullback. The Colonel goals were chalked up by hustling Nick Giordano and by freshman Carl Havira. Mr. Reese felt that all in all, the team turned in a good solid gam e and played well together. Of course, there were the usual first game mistakes, but the coach expects to have them corrected before the Homecoming game with Rider tomorrow.

He is expected to field essentially the• same starting lineup that defeated the Flying Dutchmen last Saturday. The line, paced by Nick Giordano, worked well together. Wings Jim .Stocker and Bill Lloyd handled the ball neatly from their outside spots while ,earl Havira, Seth Ansah, and Timmy Jenkins looked good at their inside positions. The defense was strong with Ed Masonis, Tony Bianco, Ahmad Kazimi, and Dave Polley turning in sparkling performances. After tomorrow's clash, the boot:ers will have a weekend's rest before hosting the mighty Temple team on Tuesday at 2 :00.

The outfits, which will be permanent, will feature navy blue Bermuda skirts, navy knee socks with gold tassels, and "<links". They will continue to use the same blouses and sweaters which t hey previously used. The transformation in costuming came about when the necessity of purchasing new skirts was realized. Recognizing this need as an opportunity to raise the level of cheerleading from a high school to a more collegiate level, plans for a new grab were discussed. Bermuda skirts were decided upon, and the enthusiastic girls offered to make their own. Be sure to come to the game to see the r esults!

Myers A political -preference poll was spirited debate at Tuesday's assembl y. In the discussion period following their opening remarks, the candidates stirred an enthusiastic student body to frequent burst s of applause. Mr. Flood was asked to comment on the statem ent made by Harry Truman condemning Adlai Stevenson as unfit for the presidency. He replied, "It is not true - period." When asked his opinion on the administration's handling of the Suez crisis, Mr. Thomas replied that .Secretary of State Dulles had shown an error in judgement. Both avowed support of the Powell amendment which limits Federal School Aid to those schools complying with the ,Supreme Court decision on Segregation. On this subject, Flood made mention of his proposal for Government scholarships to 12,000 students each year for fifteen years. The grants will be given to those students majoring in scientific courses with provisions in the bill requiring them to teach for a period of three years. On the subj ect of Social Security, both men were in agreement. However, Thomas stated that he felt a long-range approach to the problem is necessary. Flood was of the opinion that immediate action sho uld be taken. A major point of disagreement , was disclosed when both men were questioned about their feelings on the matter of H-Bomb tests. Flood appro ved .Stevenson's request for immediate cessation of the experiments, but is in favor of increased emphasis on tactical nuclear weapons. Mr. Thomas said that the prospect of loss of Ame rican lives would be a n exorbitant price to pay for the -p olitical a ppeal such a suggestion holds. i....a c.: h made frequent use of every opportunity to praise his party's r ep resentatives, but later in the program Flood condemned the Dixiecrats, while Thomas refused to defend Senators McCarthy, J enner and Welk er.

All the events came off well and enthusiasm was high on all sides. We are sure that everybody wh9 entered into the spirit of the occasion had a good time. And that is what Homecoming is for. The Beacon especially wishes to thank alumna Anita Janerick for her wonderful co-operation and assistance in handling the arrangements for the Queen. And to all the alumni, the alumni office, the public relations office, and the students who worked so hard, deepest thanks. UNITED FUND HAS KICKOFF IN ASSEMBLY; CAMPAIGN DEADLINE ANNOUNCED AS OCT. 26 Letters to the Editor . .. U1mecessary Evi1s Contest Entries Digest and to this department, also. We have been trying to plug the contest on this campus, for its successful conclusion means that more will be forthcoming. More contests mean more advertising for the Beacon, and hence, a bigger and better newspaper for you, the reader. Just pick up a copy of the Beacon of October 5, two weeks ago, and tum to page six. On it you will find an entry blank. The simple rules are printed on the page. Decide which of the 47 articles in the Octol:5er Reader's Digest you think will appeal the most to the most readers and put the number of the articles on the coupon; then drop the entry into the nearest mailbox. (Here would be a fine spot to plug the sale in the bookstore, if we had the magazine.) For a 2-cent card and a little reading and thought. you may be the winner of $5000 for yourself and a similar amount for the college's scholarship fund. Do it today! All entries must be in the mail by midnight of next Thursday, so this is the last time we can call it to your attention. STUDENT AD CONTEST wide and ten inches deep. The first of these monthly winners will be printed in the November 9 issue of the Beacon. All entries must be submitted to Mr. Stein not later than the 1st of November. That's all there is to it. Remember that all entries must contain the name and major of the contestant. The winner's name will appear with the advertisement. GRAHAM TO SPEAK Tuesday's assembly will be a red letter assembly. Dr. Frank P. Graham, special mediator for the U.N ., will speak on behalf of the Woodrow Wilson Centennial. His speech will be entitled "Freedom for Man - A World Safe for Mankind". Graham is an internationally known educator and world diplomat, and, is in the minds of many, one of our greatest living Americans. All faculty and students are urged to avail themsel ves of the opportunity to attend this assembly. The United Fund campaign was officially op ened in last Tuesday's assembly by Don Reyn old s, Student Council president a nd co-chairman of the campus drive. Reynolds ann ounced the goal at Wilkes a s being $2,000 - $1,000 each for students a nd facult y and urged the students to "Cut do wn and g ive!" The drive will las t un ti l October 26 . The United Fund is a once-a year campaign designed to eliminate the nuisance of many appeals. It will be the only drive held on campus. The U.F., which was initiated in 1949, is the forward look in charity dri ves , and embraces some 59 different agencies. Dr. Charles A. Reif is chairman of the school drive. Assisting him will be the following student cochairmen: Don Reynolds, Ed Kotula, and Neil Dadurka. The student campaign is being conducted on a class basis, thus insuring personal contact. Each student is asked to give 100 pennies, which as Mr. Reynolds pointed out, is equivalent to only 10 coffees or cokes. . . . and you needn't be cokes'd. \Veckesser Display Wins Alumni Trophy A timely display by the m en of the "Jewel of Jewel s", Weckesser Hall, copped first prize in this y e a r ' s Homecoming decoratio ns contest. Done along a political line, the decorations were right in keeping with the forth coming election s, and caught the judges' fan cy . Members of the judging _c:ommit-tee had difficulty deciding; t he win ner, however, as competit ion was keen. All the groups did their best, and the displays showed the result of hard work and ingenious planning. The Weckesser display preser1ted a "platform" which offered a welcome to the '56 Alumni, mo re s•pi-rit for Wilkes, and defeat for U rsinus. They cast eighteen votes for Colonel Wilkes, and also presented campaign signs of the Democrat and Republican parties (the preceding was an unpaid political plug.) Ashley and Butler Halls, two other men's dorms, recei ved honorable mention for their efforts, which both featured old cars. Butler Hall had its car on the porch roof , while Ashley's also was used at the game. In the Warner Hall display, the Wilkes Colonel threatened the Ursinus Bear with a shotgun.

Nicholas and Washco were nam ed top gridders of the decade by their teammates in a recent poll conducted by the Wilkes Public R elations Office. Nicholas first entered Wilkes in. 19,19 and became an immediate grid sensation. "Nick" scored twentyfour touchdowns running out of his single-wing tailback slot. Washco, who played on the first Wilkes football team, was a four year letterman and the greatest tackle ever to don the Blue and Gold. Presentation of t he awards was made by George Ralston, their former grid mentor and now Director of Athletics . Although the Colonels w e r e 'g-ed in both contests, Tony's brilant defensive work stood out aoove all else. He was constantly blocking kicks, stealing the ball, and breaking up enemy plays. "'<'rom his tailback position, Bianco was also a s,p ark on offense, as he set up numerous plays for the Wilkes line. "Watash", as some of the fellows call him, hails from New Canaan, Connecticut, where he attended New Canaan High School. While in high school, he won varsity letters in football, baseball, and basketball. Tony first entered Wilkes in 1952. After one year at Wilkes, he joined Tony Bianco the armed forces and served with the Seventh Army Division in Ko- memb er . He lives in Ashley Hall, 1 rea. where he is dormitory president.

During the first week in December, Cue 'n' Curtain will present three one-act -p lays to the student and friends. All three plays were chosen by the members of the club, and they will be student-directed. It was decided at the October business meeting that a fres hman be elected to the executive council, thereby giving the freshmen mem -• hers equal voice in the decisions of the club officers. This will be the first attempt, since the beginning of the College drama club, to give the freshmen equal "say" on important issues. At last Wednesday's meeting, the heads of various committees for the year were chosen.

Giordano's goal came in the third quarter on a penalty kick. The ptay against Bucknell was ntp and tuck !!,ll the way, but not so agl!-inst Gettysburg last Saturday. The visiting bullets readily controlled the game and went home with a big 3-1 victory. Although a look at the Wilkes record shows but one win, this was the only game, so far, in which the Colonels failed to outplay their opponents. Giordano rifled in the lone Wilkes goal. .

AFTER THE RINGS ARRIVE. pounded out a 26-6 victory over Wilkes College last Saturday night at South Wiiliamsport High School stadium, as the Warriors scored in all but the third period. The scrappy Colonel crew unleashed an early first period drive that penetrated to the Lycoming 27 yard line, but lost the ball on downs. The situ~tion 'reaily reversed its~lf as on th~ flnit Lycoming play, halfback Dick Grier broke free and riiceq the )Vilke~ 20-yard stripe. Six: chops ~t the Colonel line produced the Warriors' first score. On the next series of Wilkes plays, halfback Wayne Bohn intercepted a Rescigno pass and raced 40 yards to score. Another pass ipterception early in the second period paved the way for the third Lycoming tally, which was scored by 225-pound sophomore fu llback John Joe. Wilkes fought back gamely in the second half to try to close the big twenty-point gap, and Picton's charges battled to chalk up a total of 12 first downs as compared to their rival's 13. ,B ut in that all to Bob Masonis They sa y you just can't keep a good man down, and Bob Masonis really proved this adage as he returend to the lineup after an absence of three games to turn in a sparkling performan~e against Lycoming College and cop this week's award as "Athlete of the Week".

Last week t he Trojans copped wins number two and three by lopsided scores of 42-0 over Butler Hall and 27-6 over the Shawneeites. This latter tilt p.r.obably decided the intramural championship as the Trojans and the Shawneeites have thus far fielded the two classiest teams in the league. The Trojan ':,,. . . . offense was so well balanced that in the two games played, eight different players scored touchdowns.

The drama club plans to entertain student s and friends with at least three - possibly four - one-acts. Diversity in the plays chosen will make for an evening of entertainment suitable for an y audience of adults. The performance dates will be December 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Larry Amdur, senior, has been chosen by Mr. Groh, the club's advisor, to direct the one play definitely decided upon thus far; it is "Seeds of Suspicion", dramatized by John McGreevy from Doroth y L. Sayers' book, "Suspicion". The play is marked by a contemporary setting, and the plot centers around Harold Mummery's suspicion that someone is trying to poison him. Be around, the first week in December, to see your fellow students portray this plot on the stage. Although members of Cue 'n' Curtain and Mr. Groh have not yet definitely decided upon the other two or three ,p lays to fill in a twohour performance, two comedies, "The Roman Kid" and "If Men Played Cards As Women Do":-were tentatively chosen. The final decisions will be made at the club's next business meeting on Monday. "The Roman Kid" is a comedy with romance, -b uilt around t he story of two Americans in Italy. The other comedy, "If Men Played Cards As Women Do", is, as the title obviously suggests, a parody on a women's card game with an IRC TO OBSERVE ELECTIONS The I RC will meet on Tuesday night to analyze election returns in the presidential election.

All club officers and all publicity chairmen of campus organizations are requested to leave notices at the Beacon office stating the time, the place, and the day of meetings scheduled for their specific · groups. The office is located on the third floor at 159 South Franklin Street. Notices of the meetings will be published in the paper's column "What . . . Where . . . When". The Beacon pro.posed to stimulate interest in campus _activities by publ~hing this column, but we cannot succeed without the cooperation of the college's organizations. For better unity of the campus groups and for better representation at all meetings, the Beacon urges all publicity chairmen to make use of its faciliEes. J.T.S. Letters to Editor Welcome We are quite happy to see that people on campus are writing letters to us, although we wish they could always b_e in a constructive vein. However, all letters and of course, their answers, will be printed if they are signed and not in conflict with the ethics of the Beacon. The views expressed in the letters column are not necessarily those of the paper, and as such we will endeavor to allow for wide latitude of thought. But all letters will be welcome and printed as space allows. If there is something that you wish to bring to the attention of the college, don't hesitate to write. It is requested that all letters be typed on one side of a sheet, double-spaced and neatly written. Brevity is 4esired, but we have nothing against longer letters. Letters may be placed in the Beacon mailbox, left at the office-or given to the editor. Let us hear from you - remember, constructive ideas are no good if you tell no one about them. Whal.~. Beacon.

Several strange observations have therefore caught my attention in the past few weeks. One was the completely "squirrelly" letter written by Sam Weckesser to the editor of the Beacon last week. We Squirrels, I thought, were the ones who were supposed to be nutty, but I guess we will s.tick to oranges and let the " nuts" go to the dogs . Anyhow, one night in my tree, just outside a window at Weckesser Hall, I saw a group of boys standing around Sam. Sam was diligent ly pecking away on ~he typewriter. I knew something was up because occasionally one of the fellows would laugh at something he thought was funny. By the way, Sam implied in last week's lett er, that he was a student from Weckesser, however, from the quality and style of the letter, I feel that he just might have been the ghost writer for the "Dean's Corner" in the Beacon last year. When I read the letter, I knew that the mental ability of the boys from Weckesser just wasn't up to the intelligence of the dog who wroLe the letter, and I said to mysel£, "Ah, ha! Just as I thought! Sam has been sticking his cold nose intc someone else's business again." So, for fear that the men and women of the campus might be above replying ,t o someone of Sam's canine heritage, I thought that I'd point out a few fallacies, or at least illogical conclusions that Sam made. Now, I think Sam should know that, when we play football for example, we play along clearly defined rules. This answers the first of manv false analogies he used. The signs W eckesser called a Homecoming display, seemed to be consistent with .the rules of another contest. Further, Sam is confusing good s,p ortsmanship with stoicism. I have occasionally seen Mr. Picton literally tear his hair, and members of ,t he team "speak" to the referees when the officials called bad rulings against us. If this were not so, I would consider our team rather weak-kneed and gutless. This I feel, is not one of our problems in football. Dignity is fine, as Sam put it, but so is indignation when it is called for. Yet, I certainlv don't think our team lacks sportsmanship. Something certainly smells, and Sam is right; it is not kennel-rations. -I t is his logic. Now, suppose a contest were given for the best poem. Supposing five poems were submitted, and the judges awarded first prize to someone who submitted a painting to the contest. Would you smile and say that the judges have "reason and rule and a formula behind them", then in a sort of gutless stoic resignation say, "We must not bring this mistake to anyone's attention for we might be accused of not being good sports"? You see, when one group of people says a thing is good and another group says it is bad, their values must be set upon different standards. -One doesn't judge the value of a car using same criteria as one would when one judges the quality of a tennis racket. This was the gripe. The judges and Weckesser Hall missed the boat. The rest of the campus maintained that the judges need clearly defined areas to which they will restrict themselves in their judging. How else will the clubs and dorms know what to do when constructing a display? If all that need be done is to throw together a few signs, then I assure you that you will see a definite lack of originality ( except perhaps in wording), lighting and creative imagination in future years' Homecoming dis- Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, head of the Wilkes College Political Science department, is sponsoring a contest based on predicting t he outcome of the November 6 National elections. The contest requires predicting the presidential electoral votes a nd the Senatorial seats from each state, as well as the 21st Senatorial and first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh legislative districts of .Pennsylvania. It will also be necessary to predict the presidential vote in this state within 10,000; the Clark-Duff vote within 1,000 and the FloodThomas results within 1,000-. This contest should promote some interest on campus in the election returns. Three winner., will be chosen and prizes will be books on election trends. The contest is open to the entire student body. Application blanks can be obtained from Dr. Mailey. CS BROCHURES AT LIBRARY The U. S. •Civil Service Commission has announced the publication of a new directory of government career positions. · The booklet is entitled "Federal Careers a Directory for College Students". Thirty-nine F e d e r a 1 agencies hel,ped compile the description of over eighty different types of Government jobs. All of these positions are ones for which many college students might qualify. The Directory is easy to read, illustrated, and emphasizes career opportunities, not just jobs. rrn addition to listing these openings, complete information is given concerning the federal government as an employer. All students are invited to read this publication, available in the College library and with the Placement Director. ,p lays. Also, since Sam has been around Weckesser Hall for well over a year he should know (in the words of several of the boys from that dorm, before the judging) "The r eason we .put up such a 'lousy' display this year, is -that we lost last yea r." So I'd like to know a student 's - definition of sportsmanship . Is demanding a definite crit erion by which to work the equivalent of poor sportsmanship, or is putting up a 'lousy' dis.p lay to compensate for one's disappointment in losing the year before sportsmanship? I, too, love Wilkes College, for about the same reasons that Sam does. But when he said that he wished that there was a little more Brooklyn spirit on campus, I raised an eyebrow. Not only do I hear the words "Wait 'till next year", (which I didn't hear and which wasn't evident from Weckesser last year), but I also hear an awful and mighty growl from the heart of Wilkes shouting in one great indignant voice "We Wuz - Robb ed! !!" Your for Future Sportsmanship, SONNY SQU:IRREL Dear Editor: The sheen has worn off our trophy. We walk by it and hardly notice it. For a time, we revelled in our glory. But, alas, this is college, and there are more important things to be accomplished than to gaze at yesterday's trophy. The Men of Ashley Hall realize that. Soon, we hope, the boys' dormitories will realize the same thing. We tire of this adolescent foolishness. We have work to do. Yours for better sportsmanship, The Men of W eckesser Hall P .S.-If you have a bare mantel piece upon which to display a rather small, tarnished and battered trophy, by all means come on over and take it. (,B ut it is an awful dust collector.) Campus Groups Will Organize Underclassmen Political conventions come to Wilkes College. It has been suggested by many Wilkes students that political parties be formed at the college to stimulate inter est in school activities, to give the little guy a say in campus affairs, and to get the coll ege out of its alleged "rut". The Campus Party, the instigator of the idea, has suggested that each party will hold conventions to nominate class officers from their particular group. These candidates will then be put in front of their party and one will be selected to represent their party in the class election. The other candidates will be selected in the sam e way. Thus, with two political parti es working on campus, student r epre sentation will be complete. The minority groups, often forgott en, will have a chance to organize into a strong organization and have their say in class and campus activities. Parties will be organized in only the freshman and sophomore classes. Criticism by the .party which is rtot in power will literally keep the party in power "on its toes". Instead of small groups talking, there will be a powerful group discussing ideas, selecting ideas and presenting the~ to the student body. Acting chairman of the Campus Party, Bill Smulowitz said in an interview Tuesday night: "Give it a chance - come around and listen and get a better idea of the party system before you reject it. Come and see me, and ask questions get out of the rut." Dean Ralston has been consulted about the parties and seems to like the idea. The set-up will allow the students to become acquainted with the workings of national politics. The -p arty system's goal is summed up in the preamble of the Campus Party: "We the students of Wilkes College, in order to form a centralized cam.pus ,p olitical organization, offer more representation to more people, have formed t he Campus Party. We are hereby dedicated to the betterment of our student body and our college." The first meeting will be held today, Friday, at 12:15 in Pickering 20-1. Students are invited to come to the meeting, listen, offer suggestions and opinions, but come before you decide.

Nick scored three times for the Colonels and his spark set the whole club on fire as they picked up win number two. The Blue and Gold has lost three and has one tie. Wilkes scored twice in the first period on goals by Giordano and Tom J enkins . After the Lizzies notted the score at two-all in the third period Carl Havira and Giordano untied it. Nick finished the scoring with another tall y in the last quarter. Tuesday the Wilkesmen journeyed t o Easton to meet the tough L eopards from Lafayette. The game was tightly played, with the Colonels going down to a 1-0 defeat . Scoring early and often, the ·Crusaders from Susquehanna University made their homecoming a success by downing Wilkes, 31-7, last Saturday at the victor's field. The Crusaders scored twice in the first period, once after a blocked kick and once on a ,pass interception. Dick Purnell, Orange and Maroon quarterback, scored twice and led his teammates to three other TD's. Trailing, 19-0, in the second quar ter, the Colonels broke into the scoring column after Bill Farish had recovered a fumble on the Sus·quehanna 21. On fo urth down, Ronni e Rescigno, starting on the home team's 10, raced back to the twe nty-five before find ing blockers and then went into the end zone for t h e scor e.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler NICK GIORDANO WEEK'S 'ATHLETE' FOR FINE ELIZABETHTOWN GAME The Intramural Bowling Leagues completed the first round of competition last Sunday evening at the· Jewish Community Center. The " B" League featured its opening night with three shutouts. The S hamrocks, rolling with the luck of the Ir ish, swept four points from the Superchargers. J esse O'Choper was high man for the victors, but the win was the result of steady team bowling. Rose Weinstein cam e through with a 158-384 series to becom e high w oman bowler for both leagues. Frank Rossi spa rked the losers with a three-game total of 429, high for the match. Barry Miller led th e Ashley Hall Aces to a close win over the Athlet es with his 229-585. The losers just mi ssed t aking the first game as Coach Reese scored a 200. Art Hoove r and Dr. Michelini both looked prety good after their long summer layoff. Th e Strikers gathered four points by forfeit as on) -- one m ember of the still un-named team 10 failed to app ear. All bowlers are reminded by League officials Barry Miller and J ane Keible that the tournam ent is being held to promote additional social a cti vities among the stu dents. The fa ilure of t eams to a ppear w hen sched uled defeats the purpose of the event by robbing those in attendance of a pleasant evening. League "A" will again tumble the maple wood n ext Sunday evening, November 4th. The schedule shows the Ghost Rid ers opposing the Aristocrats on alleys 5 and 6. Warner's Learners meet the Sext ets on 7 and 8, and the Flying Jets meet the Mixed Ma st ers on 3 and 4.

And after it is over, how would you like to hear some people say that you didn't give it all you have ? This is the situation the m en who don the Blue and Gold have faced this season. They have been cl'itic ized from within the school itself and from outsiders. I say that if they think they can do better, why aren't th ey out there and playing instead of critici zing. They may say that it is your privilege to criticize. True, but let's think before we criticize. This team started out with 30 m en. They had one coach. Now the t eam has 24 men and they still have one coach . This does not build a winning team since t h e coach is still the most important link in a winning unit, and one coach can not handle the load of teaching football to 24 men. But Russ Picton tries, and he has don e a good job. And every Saturday these 24 m en suit up and go out to the gridiron to -p lay the best they know how. This is not an easy job, but t h ese m en pla y their hearts out for WHkes. They practice every afternoon when other students are takin g it easy or doing some studying. Then a t night, home they come, tired, battered and bruised. Then they start on their night work. And what do they get for this? Nothing! No gratitude, no recognition, n o glory, just criticism . Then what do the y play for? They play for the fu n of playing football and, maybe, deep in the backs of their minds, t hey ho.pe that we will say, "Nice game, boys. You tried!"

Vol. XXI, No. 9 - WILKES COLLEGE THE BEACON ~~Beacon Serving the College since 1936 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1956 Mailey Analyzes TEXAS X FEATURED Tuesday's Election AT WC 'HARVEST HOP' For w. C. Students---. Scranton Band AMDUR WILL DIRECT ,. Exclusive Interview For BEACON by Carol Breznay Dr. Hugo V. -Mailey, head of the Political Science Department at Wilkes College, has offered an interesting, informative analysis of the recent elections. In an exclusive Beacon interview, Dr. Mailey gave his opinion on this vital issue. In his first statement, he brought out two main points. According to Dr. Mailey, "·T he. vote for President Eisenhower and the Democratic party represents a victory of the middle 'Class who seek moderation through the image of the Eisenhower .p residency, and on the other h.a nd also represents a victory for the same middle class which seeks to allay its fears from the tormentine- m em en t o s and ghostly scars of the depression era, through a preference for the Democratic Congress." This election proved that military heroes are still popular in the United States. This was a ,personal landslide for Eisenhower, and the decision for the voter was between Eisenhower and the Democratic party. The voter resolved his dilemma by voting for Eisenhower on the one hand and the Democratic Congress on the other. An indication that this was a :personal victory is the fact that Eisenhower did not take the Republican Congress into office with him, particularly the House of Representatives. It is the House that usually reflects the political temperament of the people, and usually votes as the president. This is the first time since Zachary Taylor, another military hero, that a .p resident was not able to carry the House. There have been four times when the president was not able to take the Senate, the last time being 1916. Eisenhower's popularity and glamour are not transferrable, and his name is not magic. It does not rub off on other party candidates. Another indication of a personal vi ctory, according to Dr. Mailey, is the fact that in the Republican National Party Convention Debates of 1952 and 1954, party stalwarts made blunt m ention of the fact that the y could not win without Eisenhower. Dr. Mailey brought out several other points. Third was that there is a tinge of isolationism in the voting for presidency. A number of groups were highly impressed by the presidential statement that we would not become involved in war. The fourth point was that there were no real issues in this campaign. Basically, Stevenson and Eisenhower are both moderates, and had the same views on domestic and foreign ,p roblems. Stevenson did try to manufacture some last-minute issues, such as his Hbomb stand, bµt he did not get much mileage out of these coined To Play Tonile Al Econ Dance 'SEEDS OF SUSPICION' Dr. Hugo V. Mailey ideas. Such. regional issues as farm prices did have an eff ect on the Congressional returns; farm discontent was registered not against Eisenhower, but against the Republican Senatorial and Congressional candidates. A fifth .point is that there has been no basic reshuffling of party alignments as a result of this election. After four years, the Republican party has not been able to construct a foundation on which it can rely to produce large majorities. The party has not turned to its most readily available force, the newly - developing urban - middle class. As far as the South is concerned, the Republican party has failed to develo.p a two-party South. The southern voters voted the man and not the party. Eisenhower had a· personality appeal to voters in the South, just as he had to the northerners. The group to which the Republicans can turn to build a two-party South is again the urbanmiddle class, because it is this class that is pushing industrialization, and they are presently creating the strongest pressures for two-party politics. Yet, it might be some time before this class attains any ,power in the South because they are presently disenfranchised by local gerrymandering. The group is restive and ready, but the Republican .party has done nothing to cultivate their interest. On the present world situation, Dr. Mailey feels the European and Middle East crises affected the voter, and perhaps helped the president more than .Stevenson. In summary, Dr. Mailey stated that "The most significant thing is (continued on page 3) ED. CLUB TO MEET The Education Club is slated to meet Thursday at 11 in Sturdevant Hall . Special feature of this meeting will .b e a skit presented by members of the c 1 u b entitled "J>SEA in Action". All students interested in education are urged to attend. Members of Cue 'n' Curtain, the college drama club, have decided to present four one-act plays to students, parents, and friends nexe month. The dates will be the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of December, and the place - Chase Theater. All the plays will be student-directed, and, of course, Wilkes students will be cast in the productions. "Seeds of Suspicon", dramatized by John McGreevy, will be directed by Larry Amdur. The play has a present-day setting; the ,p lot centers around Harold Mummery's suspicion that someone wants to poison him with ars.enic. A little color is injected into the story in a character called Dimthorpe, a deliberately slow-spoken chemist, who analyzes Harold's cocoa. for poison. Marion Laines will be one of the featured players in this play. Carl Ernst, a junior, has been cho sen o direct "The Leprechaun", a one-act fantasy-comedy with d little philosophy thrown in for good measure. The plot revolves around Egan Malloy, who started life as a leprechaun, but persuaded the King of the "Little P eople" to grant him the guise of a mortal, so that he might win the love of Katy, a heart- Larry Cohen INTERESTS MEASURED BY COMMITTEE POLL The School Spirit Committee met Wednesday at 12 :3 0 in Warner Hall Lounge. Dave Vann presided at the meeting. The committ ee considered the questionnaire which the students were r equested to complete at Tuesday's assembly. Among the suggestions found on the questionnaire were: the establishment of fraternities, the scheduling of record concerts ( classical and jazz), having better programs at intermissions of dances and better bands for them, more formals and semiformals, with name bands; and better publicity for campus affairs. It was also suggested that the clubs on campus did not have adequate programs for their members. Many students were in favor of the bonfire pep rallies held this fall and wanted to see more of the same and similar events to be held in the future . These suggestions have not been completely tabulated as yet, but when the analysis is finished, the resu lt~ will be sent_ t? the.

The story is complicated by the well known fact ( ? ) that a mortal can never return the love of a leprechaun. "How to Propose", a hilarious comedy by Conrad Seiler, and "If Men Played Cards As Women Do", another short comedy, were also selected by members of the club and Mr. Groh to round out the ,program. "How to Propose" o.pens with a lecturer in front of the curtain, speaking on the subject in the title. The curtain parts; on stage, a,ctors illustrate the lecturer's remarks. Shirley Baroody (she is directing this play) guarantees that the play's ending will have the aud;ence rolling in the aisles. TO: All Students Your respon_se to the appeal of the United Fund was one of the most encouraging experiences that I have had during my twenty years at Wilkes. You demonstrated a sense of social responsibility that is much needed in every community. Leaders o.f the United Fund have already thanked me for your fine response. In passing on their thanks to you, I wish also to express my great gratitude for your fine work. You have established a tradition which, I hope will guide all of us in the future. Gratefully yours, EUGENE S. FARLEY President 1 · by Mary Louise Onufer The economists of Pickering will "grand right and left" to the gym tonight to sponsor their "Harvest Hop". This, their first dance of the year, will start at 9 and last until 12. The Premier Pioneers, a well known band of the Scranton area, will supply the music for the square and modern dancing with Texas X doing the calling. The Economics Club plans . to go all out to decorate the gym in a harvest atmosphere. It won't be surprising to see a few cornstalks, hay bundles, and perhaps, even a few leafless trees. In place of the usual entertainment at intermission, the club will play records. Larry Cohen, club president, appointed Peggy Salavatore general chairman. The other committees are: Publicity, Marie Verbalis, chairma n, Andrew Rushin, Charles Billings, Armand Caruso, and Caroline ,O'Rourke; refreshments; John Scandale, chairman, Peggy Salvatore, Len Mulcahy, Carl Jurish, Charles Grymko, Ron Tremayne, Larry •Cohen, Frank Kogut, and Bill James; tickets, Marlene Moduski, chairman, Irene Tomalis, and Judy Menegus. Jack Carling made the arrangements for the band, and Ron Tremayne invited Mr. and Mrs. Welton Farrar and Mrs. and Mrs. Albert Christopher to serve as chaperones. The club believes that this dance will be as successful as those of previous years. The dance begins a list of social activities for the Economics Club which include parties outings, and guest speakers. The admission price for the affair is 50. cents. WC Car Caravan Be1·ng Planned For Lasl Game Plans are being. formulated for a "Colonels ' CARavan" to next week's game against Moravian College at Bethlehem. The trip is under the auspices of the school spirit committee and the chairman of the affair is Dave Polley, Ashley Hall. Tentative plans call for departing from the campus at 11 A.M. next Saturdav. The trip will be don e at a leisurely ,pace, but plenty of time is allowed to make sure that the group will arrive at the game safely and on time. These caravans have always ,b een enjoyed J- · those who have traveled in them and the plans call to make this one of the best ever. Those interested in securing a ri de or having room for passengers are urged to get in touch with Dave Polley or any member of the Spirit Committee.

It showed that the people of America can.think for themselves. The very fact that the voters picked a Democrat Congress in the face of the overwhelming majority of the President's vote, indicates that there was a great deal of split-ticket voting. This splitting of the vote indicates that the people thought before voting. It confirms the faith of the founders of he nation, who believed that the people are capable of governing themselves. Democracy will live, when people think before they v:ot~ and vote as they think. We believe the voters did just that this week. The .C. C. U. N.

The extra-curri cular budget of the .Student Council was accepted by the Administrative Council with two exceptions : $25 was added t,o the Manuscript's budg et and $25 was deducted from the Student Council's fund. Dr. Farley praised the members of the council for the fine work they had done in preparing the budget. The Council discussed several places as possible sites for this year's Winter Carnival, but nothing definite was decided.

The verdict was for a Republican president and a Demoaatic Congress. The verdict was one for moderate policies and moderate politics. The solid vote of confidence went to Eisenhower and to the Democratic part y. This means that in 1956, the American voter is still a moderate man, and that the dominant influence in Congress will be m iddle-of-the-road. And therefor e, under these conditions, a divided Congress and Pl'esidency ought not necessarily to cause paralysis in government." Ginny Brehm is chairman of the dance. There will be no admission charged at this annual dance. Free refreshments will be served. Bill Smulovitz spoke on the Campus Party.

Bill Smulovitz, who has taken it upon himself to form this group, is chairman of the party set-up. Smulovitz, who admitted that the organization cannot be democratic in this early stage, has limited membership to only members of the fr e s h m a n and sophomore classes. However, one student attending the meeting reprimanded Smulovitz for discrimination in the party since the constitution of the organization, printed in last week's Beacon, says, "We, the students of Wilkes College . . ." Under the proposed system there would be a slight change in nomination -p rocedures for class and student ·Council elections, according to Smulo vitz. Nominations within the class would be completely eliminated and the nominees would be chosen at a convention within the party by its members. The idea is that another political party would form to nominate another slate of candidates. A party chairman, such as Smulovitz, will run the party. A vicechairman will be in charge of a steering comm ittee and a campaign committee. A secretary will also be chosen within the party to record minutes of the meetings. The elected officers will therefore be responsible to the party and the chairman. Smulovitz, when asked how the party· proposed to operate, stated that formation of such a party, is a slow .p rocess. He said, "For example, the incoming freshmen will be 'green'; we will get a hold of them as they come in, and tell them what we are." The pro-tern ch airman went on, "The reason for the parties will be to ke ep a check on the elected people. The op.position party can see and check if he doesn't keep his promises. His own party will help him keep his promises. "Most of the people who get nominated in the first place are those who are well-known, ,p opular, usually the Big Men on Campus. Many times a really-deserving person who can do a good job doesn't get elected because he isn't known enough. "What the party will do is to back such an unknown and help him get elected and then help him keep his promises." ·One class president at the meeting was contacted at the early stages of the planning of this organization. However, he refused to join the party since he was informed by the chairman pro-tern that the group would combat a secret organization on campus and because veterans were not wanted in the party.

' . · The Golden T1·ojans, as usual, won the 1956 intramural football league championship. But the big surprise of the year was the Weckesser Hall victory, their first in seven years. The victory gave the Weckesser men the dormitory championship with a Ql-12 win over Butler Hall. Bill Duffy a nd Lou Davis paced the victors, while Morgan Davis had a 100-yard touchdown run for th e losers. In other last week play, the Snakes won by forfeit over Weckesser, Tro jans forfeit over the Snakes, and Shawneeites swomped Butler, 46-6, with Danny Lynn, Frank Mickolonis and Roger Lewis leading the attack. This year's all-star team a s picked by tl~e man in charge of the intramural le.ague, Bill Morris, is as follows: Dick Morris and Bob Rahl of th e Trojans, Danny Lynn and FTank Mickoloni s of t he Shawneeites, Joe Ludgate of the Snakes, Lou Davis and Bill Duff" of Weckesser, and Morgan Davis of Butler.

But most everybody knows these .unpleasant statistics. We have some other statistics which are not as well known about the men who have donned the Blue and Gold for the past seven Saturdays. The little whiz kid, Ronnie Rescigno leads in about every department there is except pass receiving and punting. Ron has carried the ball 112 times this year and has gained 492 yards. But he has lost 124 to leave him with a total of 368 net yards gained. Ron's understudy, Dick Wozniak, is right behind Ron in passing and total yardage. Woz has passed 27 times completing 8 one of those passes going for a touchdown. ' Rescigno has passed 45 times completing 10. His passing yardage is 160 yards, while Dick has gained L2,7 yards through the air lanes. On the receiving end of those aerials, Neil Dadurka is ahead with 12 passes caught for 220 yards and one touchdown. The other end, Jo e Reese, has caught seven passes for 99 yards. Punting leader is Tom Doty. Tom has kicked 14 times for an average of 37.3 yards per punt. Sam Puma has kicked ).2 times for a 30.8 average. The leading scorer is Rescigno with 5 TD's and one extra point. Al Manarski, Neil Dadurka and J im Walsh have one touchdown each while Dick Wozniak has kicked the only extra point the Colonels hav~ made. · Injuries · have hurt two men who could give Rescigno a fight for the passing and ground-gaining honors. * * * * Art Tamhur and Ray Yanchus have both missed the last three games.

Dave Thomas, chairman of the raffle, Bill Lloyd and Bob Sokol, co-chairmen of the publicity committee, have worked very hard to make the raffle a success. With the exception of Shoe-Shine day, this raffle is the only moneymaking project ta'k en on by the Lettermen's Club during the year. Neil Dadurka, club president, and the rest of the lettermen wish to thank everyone who .p urchased tickets. A few words to the losers, ",Better luck next year."

TOPIC AT ASSEMBLY MURRAY'S -DANCERS AT GYM NEXT FRIDAY by Richard J. Myers N ext Friday, November 16th, the Arthur Murray dancers will offer a Dance Party at the Wilkes College Gym . The dancers will be featured in a recital, following which a free dance lesson will be given to all those who care to participate. The School Spirit Committee is concerned with the lack of interest shown by the students who attend the weekly dances at the Gym. Too many couples spend the entire evening sitting on the sidelines; too many "stag" men and wotnen stand around for the whole evening without taking advantage of the good dance bands we have performing for us. This is an excellent chance for Mr. Liva, director of the Wilkes these "wallflowers" to get out of Mixed Chorus, announces that re- their rut and get into the spirit of hearsals are underway for the the occasion.

Kruger, debate coach, feels that the. outlook for this year is fairly bright. He is pinning his hopes for the national title on two of the keenest debaters whom he has ever coached - John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper. When questioned about the opposition, Dr. Kruger said that the main threat is from our own district in the form of Princeton and St. JosJph's. The Wilkes ' team may run into some trouble from the University of Pennsylvania team which is coached by Nick Flannery, a former Wilkes debater •and student of Dr. Kruger. e I by William A. Zdancewicz A report of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations (CGUN), recently held in New York City, was given in a ssembly Tuesday by Ahmad Kazimi and Dave Vann. Both speakers expressed their impressions and personal experiences of the conference. Ahmad reported on the background and major functions of the C.C.U.N . He mentioned highlights of the conference, which included speeches by U.N. members, films on· the structure of the U .N., tours, and luncheons. -Topics of discussion included Atoms for Peace, Peaceful Settlement of National Disputes, and Problems Faced by the Organization. Ahmad mentioned the resolutions made by the Committee on International Disputes, of which he was a member. Dave r eported on the Committee for Economic Aid to :Underdeveloped Countries, of which he was Chairman. This included resolutions and recommendations made by the committee. Dave mentioned the possibilities of having a •Collegiate Council of the United Nations here at Wilkes, which would have national affiliation. After assembly, Dave gave additional information to those interested. The purpose of such a Council would be to enlighten peoj pie concerning th~ functions of the U .N. -Students mterested s?ould contact Dave or Ahmad for hterature on this subject. Such an organization should benefit both the students and the college. CHEM CLUB LECTURE FEATURES 1955 GRAD The -f irst in a series of lectures to be sponsored by the Chemistry Club will be held on Wednesday, November 14, at 8 P.M. in the College Lecture Hall. The speaker will be Warren Blaker. His subject is Chromotography . Blaker, who is a graduate of Coughlin High School, received his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Wilkes in February, 1955.

His trip to Wilkes-Barre to give this lecture is being sponsored by the Okonite ·C ompany. Large Participation On Campus Indicates Widespread Interest by Neil Turtel With upwards of 175 students and guest s watching and appraising the pres idential election returns, the IRC conducted a most worthwhile and entertaining evening in Harding Hall last Tuesday. Refreshments were served. The club did its usual thorough job by providing two TV ·sets and a like number of radios. Several members of the club analyzed the -returns as they came in. Special t;hanks should _be given . to Miss Millie Gitterts, who chaperoned _the affair, and to Pon Jaikes who managed ·.publicity and. refreshments. The party broke up at 3 :30. IDC Holds Swim :Party For All Dorm Students At JCC Monday Night by Marion Klawonri Joan Rishkofski, chairman of the I.D.C. recreation committee, announced last Tuesday night that the dorm swimming party will be held on Monday night, November 12. The party, sponsored by the Inter-Dormitory Council, will be held in the Jewish Community Center from 7 to 9 - enough time for anyone to get thoroughly watersoaked. Miss Rishkofski also stated that bathing suits for men can be rented at the center. Girls will have to bring their own suits and caps. Students without suits must bring t ents at least. The party is for dorm students only. Working with Joan on the committee are Mary Rose Sidari and. Art Rogavin. The I.D.C. has also started on the inter-dorm sports program. This -program gives the dorm students a chance to participate in intramural football, ,basketball and volley-ball. Members of the sports committee are : Ashl ey Hall, Barry Miller, chairman; Warner Hall, Jerry -Minturn; Weckesser Hall, Don Murry; MC'Clintock Hall, Elaine Stein; Butler Hall, Fred Lujicich; Sterling Hall, Marion Klawonn. The Kernel's Korn by Dick Myers College is a fountain of knowledge wherP. a ll come to drink. Several of our friend s claim that they never drink a drop, but it has been our observa tion that they never dro-p a drink. One of the Wilkes lads claims that aft er last weekend. he is going on the straight and narrow road. The only trouble with that road is that there is no place to park. Strange as it may seem, there are some people who are violently opposed to drinking. A member of a local women's t emperance g roup recently took a suite of rooms in a resort hotel When she saw a fifth of whiskey and a bottle of bitter s in one of the rooms, she stormed down to the desk and demanded that the offending articles be removed at once. The clerk told her that he would remove the whiskey, -but she'd have to take the bitters with the suite. Some folks go to a bar optimistically and go away misty optically. Then ther e's the cow that drank a bottle of purple ink and mooed indigo. With these sage comments, we will now imitate the man who slyly slip ped a counterfeit penny in the scal es a nd softly steal a weigh. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

So much has been made about feminine beauty that the Beacon decided to even the score and give the males on the campus a chance to disprove the ludicrous idea that only women have nice legs. The fertile brains of the aforementioned staff began working, and amid much smoke, an idea appeared. To you, dear readers, we present our contest - "The Guys' Greatest Garns •Contest". The rules are simple - to enter, you must be a male from the Wilkes campus . If you fit into this category, report at once to Dan Gawlas with your :pants rolled up. Pie- .The Arthur Murray School will hold a Dance Party this afternoon at 4 p.m. at th e Wilkes gym. In addition to th e dancing, the Murray dancers will give a recital, illustrating the degree of skill which can be attained by their students. Following this exhibition, a free lesson will be given to those in att endance as part of the Murray program to acquaint Wilkes students with the type of instruction available to them. Besides adding a n o th er few hours of dancing to the weekend schedule, this Party offers a chance for those afflicted with "two left feet" to do something about correcting their deficiencies. The dance school is prepared to form a Wilkes dancing class at special rates. The entire course is twenty hours in length and the student is given instructions in all modern dance forms, polkas, LatinAmerican styles and any other form desired. The cost, too, is reasonable. The -c omplete course costs just $11.00. Arrangements can be made to fit th e ,program of instructions into the college schedule in order to p ermit a maximum number of people to participate. It doesn't matter if you have never danced before. The Murray School is well-equipped to handle a beginner's class and is capable of moving such individuals out of this class in a remarkably short time. This is an excellent chance for the students of Wilkes to take a big step forward in making all of our future dances completely successful. There are no coupons to clip, nothing to send in, no slogans to write, everything will be arranged for you. The bargain is there, you owe it to yourself to come out and take advantage of it. Be at the gym at four, and come as you ar-e. Moran's Ivy Leaguers to Play At Freshman Sponsored Dance; Class President General Chairman by John Pisaneshi . The freshman class of Wilkes will sponsor a dance, "The Silhouette Serenade", at the gym tonight. Dancing will be from 9 to 12 and the price of a ticket is only SO cents. Decorations of bla·ck, silver, and French blue and candles set on small tables will give an exotic and misty atmosphere to the gym. ALL COLLEGE DANCE IN GYM NOVEMBER 23 by Richard J. Myers The All-College Dance, one of the biggest social events of the School year, will be held at the Wilkes gym next Friday night, November 23. The Student Council sponsors the affair. Over the past several years, this has been one of the most popular and well-attended events to be held on campus. This year, as in the past, invitations have been sent out to all the colleges and universities on the Atlantic seaboard. Crowds in excess of 1,000 have been recorded and it is expected that this fi gure will easily be passed this year. Gene Marchetti will provide the music. The popular local musician will be making his third appearance on the Wilkes scene and brings with him his "Seven Sinful Syncopators" who will get things underway at nine· o'clock. The septet will play until midnight, with a half-hour intermission. During th e intermission, Sam Lowe and the Wilkes Collegians will be fe atured in part of the entertaining program. The all-male chorus will present a varied menu of vocal favorites in its second informal concert before the student body. Fred Walko, the group's arranger, will accompany them at the piano. If these first-class entertainment and d a n c in g fea.t ures are not features are not enough to attract attention to the dance, the low cost of the affair should settle any doubts. Admission will be free, and there will be no charge for Bob Moran and his Ivy Leaguers will provide the dreamy music. The refreshment committee will be on hand to serve the apple cider and doughnuts. Take heed, guys! The publicity committee has also invited the pretty nurses from the General Mercy, Wyoming Valley, and Nes~ bitt hospital s. Invitations were also sent to the high schools throughout the Vall ey. The committee had th e announcem ents in the local newspapers and beamed over -the local radio stations.

'MISTER X', LLEWELLYN, SHAW, TREMAYNE WINNERS IN ELECTION GUESSING CONTEST Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the Political .Science Department, announced last night that the winners of the election prediction contest are: Joan Llewellyn, Bill Tremayne, Andrew Shaw, and an unidentified fourth party. Miss Llewellyn tied Tremayne for first place by correctly predicting the electoral vote in 45 of the 48 states and missing only four senatorial contests. She missed on three local contests, but correctly estimated the Luzerne County vote for Enoch Thomas and James Duff. Mr. Tremayne missed the electoral vote in only five states and successfull y chose all but four of t he successful senatorial aspirants. He sagely predicted every local contest correctly and also chose the correct Luzerne County vote for re-elected Congressman Daniel J. Flood. Mr. Shaw picked 44 of the 48 states as they actually went and missed only four senate contests. He missed only one local race, but was not abl e to estimate the numerical votes for any of the candidates. The last winner, who tied with Mr. Shaw, is as yet unknown, due to the fact that the identities of the contestants were concealed to• make marking objective. The unknown contestant, "Mister X", missed six s-tates' votes, but was more accurate on th e other parts. He, or she, miscalculated on but three senate races and but one local co ntest. "Mister X" also successfully predicted the Luzerne ·County vo,te for victorious Joseph Clark.

We would like to take this opportunity to salute the City of Wilkes-Barre for its 150 years of growth and progress. Happy Birthday! Newswriting Seminar Tuesday night at 8 p.m. will be the first of several seminars on newswriting which the Beacon will conduct this year. An invitation has been issued to have all those who would benefit by such experience be present. The Beacon especially welcomes those outside of the staff, who have an interest in journalism. We would like to take time also to point out to club and class presidents, that their clubs should be represented at this seminar. We can't publicize events of which we have no knowledge. Publicity directors of organizations on campus must inform us of news from their clubs. Sometimes they even have to write the stories themselves. It helps if they know how. We'd like to have your representatives present. Friday, November 16, 1956 'CHROMOTOGRAPHY' TOPIC OF CHEM CLUB'S SPEAKER '55 Wilkes Graduate Presents Principles Of M.I.T.

Mr. Corsi told of his first impressions of America upon arrival at Ellis Island at the age of ten, and also of his return there twenty years later. Then the speaker explained the outstanding achievements made by immigrants in our country. Aside from laying the foundation of America, successes have been made in fields such as business, politics, music, and nuclear fission. Several laws were mentioned pertaining to immigration, including the McCarran-Walter Act, Restriction Act, and the Quota Law, in addition to the two bills now in Congress, Lehman a nd Ives. The speaker mentioned that America has an obligation to immigrants and that the debate of these two new bills is of great importance. Mr. Corsi concluded by stating that we should remember that the immigrant helped make America what it is today, and also, that through immigration, America has shown the world that people of different backgrounds .c an work together.

The loss was the seventh of the season against one victory for the Blue and Gold. Bridgeport won its first game after seven unsuccessful tri.es. The Purple Knights scored the first time they got their hands on the ball. After Wilkes lost the ball on downs, Knight quarterback John Donahoe passed to halfback Ed Hall for 52 yards and the TD . .Bo.th teams fought to a standstill the rest of the first half. Twice the Colonels drove deep into the home team's territory but they could not score. In the second half, Bridgeport broke the game wide open taking advantage of every Colonel miscue and making some of their own brea:ks to score 19 points in the third period and 25 in the last. This was the worst defeat suffered by the Blue and Gold this year. Wilkes still leads in the series between the two schools, 4-3, with one game ending in a tie. with sport clothes from THE HUB Sport Coats $30 SOMETHING WORTH NOTING An interesting note from Temple University's News of October 19 - it contains the sentiment expressed by the -Owl's soccer t eam following their over.time victory over the Colonels: "The team as a whole after the game agreed that the small Wilkes team, that had appeared to be a pushover, was the roughest team faced this year."

I b Cu ovbeen ··: 1 E'S IN PRIVATE CONFERENCE Willi MISS LUSH-CARE TOWAIT+'• �Wll..KES COLLEGE BEACON 6 POLITICAL PARTY MEETS by Mary Louise Onufer Bill Smulowitz, acting chairman of the Campus Party, presided at its last meeting. Reports from the Publicity and Constitution committees which were established last week were heard. The Constitution committee headed by Mike Melchior with Bob Pitel, George Schall, Louise Marcus, Judy Ruggere, and John Allen met earlier in the week to revise the -Constitution of the party. The constitution must be presented at two meetings in revised form before any attempt at ratification is made. The ,p ublicity committee, composed of James O'Dwyer, chairman, George Schall, John Saba, Francis Steck, Bill Edwards, and Emmanuel Ziolno, was urged to do a more complete job of publicizing-I future meetings. Smulowitz remarked that lthis was perhaps one of the causes for the small attendance at the present meeting. Smulowitz also requested that the members of the party try to bring in ideas at the next meeting to establish the party platform. These should include what characteristics are to be sought in the various class nominees. The purpose and policies of the · party were reviewed for the new members. Bill stated that the party is not a radical movement as considered by many, but rather, an organization which will attempt to reorganize the election system at Wilkes. The party will nominate candidates for the class offices at its meetings. These people would run on a strong ticket with a party platform and a backing of the party. These candidates would be then nominated at the class m eetings to run against whomever else is chosen by any other method. A considerable part of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of the article on the party which appeared in last week's Beacon. The general idea expressed by the m embers was that the article was "untrue", "slanderous", "confused", and "expressed no main thought". " The material was · taken out of context". Bill Smulowitz alleged that he said what was written, but that the interpretation was wrong. Any person not familiar with the Campus Party would get the wrong idea about it. Smulowitz also declaimed the .p art of the article which mentioned him as being quoted by a class president to have said that this gro up would try to -c ombat a secret organization which was being formed on campus and that veterans were not wanted in the party. Smulowiitz claimed to have proved his point by mentioning that in the same paper a .personally signed letter appeared which invited veterans to join the party. THE KERNEL'S KORN hy Dick Myers In our last session, we discussed the fine international collegiate in-door sport, drinking. Since that time, several of our acquaintances have asked if this sort of thing really goes on in college. Actually, we can't say this with any real a uthority, but the following incident is related for what it's worth. Last week a ,pink elephant, pur:ple tiger and seven blue snakes entered a local bistro, but the bartender told them they might · as well leave because the gang that usually saw them had to study for tests that night. . Speaking of snakes, we hear that they put snakes with the D.T.'s in a people.pit. Incidentally, those pink elephants are beasts of bourbon. One of the Wilkes lads was seen in a local pub staring into the mirror at his bloodshot eyes. H e vowed he'd never go into a .b ar again, that the TV was wrecking his eyes. 'She was.__only the bootlegger's daughter, but he loved her still. On Monday morning, one of our instructors entered a noisy classroom and announced that he would not start the class until the room settled down. A voice from the rear of the room suggested that he go home and sleep it off: Not all college activities are confined to drinking. There are those on campus who are fond of devoting all their time to the pursuit of the opposite sex. One co-ed came dashing in the dorm wailing that she had caught her boy-friend necking, to which her roommate blandly replied, "Yeah, that's how I caught mine, too." The irate father met his daughter at the door in the wee hours of the morning and asked her escort what he m eant by bringing his daughter home at that unearthly hour. The lad explained that he had to, because he had a class at 8. The women today don't really have a big choice. They can either be old maids and look for husbands every day, or get married and look for their husbands every night. In the same vein, husbands with bett er halves are worse off than ba.chelors with better quarters. One of our associates claims that marriage is like going into a restaurant with a friend. You order what you want, then when you see what the other guy gets you wish you had that instead. In a local restaurant a few days ago, we asked the waiter what was the matter with the eggs he served us. He answered that he didn't know, he'd only laid the table. Some cannibals were getting ready to cook up their weekly meal of missionaries. They wouldn't boil one of them, though, he was a friar. We see in the paper that the women of Wilkes have started a new club, the WA•C. P ersonally, we have nothing against clubs for women. They are quite effective when all else fails. Strange as it may seem, there are some in our midst who attend classes. In a History class the other day, the instructor interrupted his lecture to ask the students in the back of the room to stop passing notes back and forth. One of them informed him that they were not notes, but cards and they were playing bridge. "Oh," said the 'prof, "excuse me.'' Another instructor pointed down to the floor of his classroom and sternly asked whose cigarett e butt was thrown there. One of the seniors replied, "You can have it, Prof, you saw it first.'' STUDENTS INVITED TO ORGAN RECITAL The students of Wilkes are cordially invited to attend an organ r ecital featuring Louie W. Ayre on Sunday at 3:30 P.M. at St. Clement's Church, Hanover Street, Wilkes-Barre. The recital is being sponsored by the Guild Student Group, A.G.O. of Wilkes-·B arre The repertoire of musical works will feature such noted compositions as Pastorale by J. S. Bach, Adagio by Josef H. Fiocco, and Meditation -b y Jan Nieland, in addition to others. The afternoon promises to be one of entertaining music for all. A free will offering will follow the recital.

The Lettermen are currently making preparations for their annual ·Christmas Formal, to be held December 14. The only formal dance held during the school year at Willkes, the annual ball is always number one on the social calendar. In keeping with the usual high standards maintained by the Lettermen in the past, the dance will feature Jack Melton, who leads one of the area's outstanding orchestras. General chairman for the formal is Al Manarski. Committees include: Decorations, Tony Bianco and Mel McNew; tickets, Bob Sutherland; programs, Bill Farish; refreshments, Dave Polley; fa.vors, Bob Sokol; and publicity, Rodger Lewis. CUE 'N' CURTAIN SHOWS SET DESIGN At the recent workshop of Cue 'n' •Curtain, Larry Groninger was disappointed because of the poor turnout. The wor,k shop was on set design, and was expected to attract a large number of students out side the club. No~ that rehearsals are in progress for the sem ester's plays, all students, especially Art and Education majors, are encouraged to stop in at Chase Theater and see either Al Groh or Larry Groninger about set design and stage lig hting . Mr. Groh believes t hat both students and the College, through the drama group, will benefit because of any interest future teachers might show. WC FACULTY WOMEN TO FE T E RALSTONS The Wilkes Faculty Women will sponsor their annual facility tea on Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. The tea, to be held in the Cafeteria, is in honor of Mr. and Mrs. George Ralston. ·Mrs. Samuel Rosenberg, who is in charge of arrangem ents, stated .that the purpose of the tea is to acquaint the members of the faculty and their wives with the student body in an atmosphere more personal than that of the class room. The tea is an informal affair and the Wilkes Collegians will sing. legiate . Government ·C I u b) will sponsor the college's first jazz concert November 3,0 at ,t he gymnasium. It isn't a dance, but popular local bandleader Lee Vincent will have part of his group there as a jazz combo, playing from 9 'ti! 12. Featured at intermission of the concert will be two contests for those attending. The first contest will be for the old-fashioned "cats", a Charleston "dance-a-thon". The winners will be the "flaming youths" who can cut the best figur., in the late-twenties' fa v o r it e. Prizes will be awarded. The second feature will be a big talent search. The club is seeking "Mr. Elvis Presley of Wyoming Valley". All those with vocal and pelvic talent are invited to enter. You may be the winner of the silver cup being awarded the victor. The arrangements committee for the concert are: Bill Tremayne, Paul Kanjorski, Neil Turtel, Jim Alcorn, and George Silewski. Admission ·p rice has been set at 75 cents. The concert idea was brought up to make an improvement in the college's social activities. If the event is as successful as it is predicted to be, the club intends to make the affair traditional. DORM SWIM PARTY AT J.C.C. MONDAY by Marion Klawonn The Inter-Dorm ,Council's swim party was held last Monday at the Jewish ,Community ·Center from 7 to 9 o'clock. A good time was had by all who managed to tear themselves away from their studies. The few "grinds" who didn't go were briefed on the proceedings by dormmates. A few g ir ls reall y "went ape" on the diving board while others just splashed around in the water. Several races started but ended halfway down the .pool amid puffs a nd grunts by the participants. .E veryone enjoyed the party except a few who were heard to exclaim , "I'll never be able to studymy brain is water-soaked." What brain? A meeting of the Wilkes C. _ legiate Council for the United Nations was held last night at Warner Hall. One purpose of this m eeting was to explain just what the CGUN is. Plans were also made for a constitution, which will be submitted to the Student Council for approval. Dave Vann and Ahmed Kazimi are interested in forming a wellorganized OCUN affiliated group at Wilkes, and have as!ked that all people desiring to join this group do so a t once. Briefly, the OCU N is an organization which helps students become more familiar with the United Nations. The group has as its aim the development of a well-informed American public. Dave Vann, who was elected to the office of Middle Atlantic Director, is making a trip to Nashville, T ennessee, this weekend. Vann will attend a meeting of the National Board of Directors of the COUN at .Scarrit College. He will make the trip by plane, and is leaving the campus today. The purpose of this m eeting ;s to help the Middle-South region become organized. .Specific problems will be discussed, and suggestions as to how they can implement the CGUN program, and organize chapters, will be offered. HIMMEL PRESENTS POLICIES TO CLASS The freshman class held a meeting in the 'Lecture Hall last Thurs~ day, November 1. Presiding at the meeting were Ira Himmel, president; Pat Shovlin, vice-president; Elaine Stein, treasurer; Georgianna Sebolka, secrtary. F r e s h m e n representing the Frosh Council are: Bob Evans, Ed Duncan, Merle Cohen, Ray :Sordoni, Francis Stec'k, John Mulhall, Moncey Miller, Marilyn Russ, Jerome Gutterman, Judy Richardson, and Bob Washburn. It was stressed, however, that those council members who refuse· to work in the interests of the class will be removed from the council.

Ed Duncan and John Mulhall were put in charge of writing a class constitution.

BEACON Contest Seeks lo Prove Males Superior The males on the Wilkes cam pus h ave been busy proving to the girls that they a r e a group of fun-loving, collegiate, hig h-spirited young men after a ll, and incidentall y, the superior sex. The enthusiastic response which t he Beacon's " Guys' Greatest Garns Contest" has r eceived seems to prove that the Wilkes m en are not the stuffy, dull, unimaginative g uys which the girls have often accused them of being, but are exactly the opposite. Wagers are being made as to whether or not one of the Lettermen will cop the title of nicest legs, but some eyes have been turned to, members of the faculty. And the Beacon has been informed that it's going to be quite a battle for the title. The struggle for the hairiest legs and knobbiest · kn ees title will also be a close one, with many campus organizations vying for the honor. Dan Gawlas, the official ·p hotographer for the contest, has announced that pictures may be taken today in Chase Theatre from 12 :45 to 1:15, and from 1:45 to 2:15. All that's necessary to enter is to report to Dan during these hours with your pants legs rolled up. The Beacon will print these pictures from time to time, but with numbers only. The picture schedul e for next week has not yet been a nnounced, but will be posted on the main bulletin board as soon as possible. A committee of Theta Delta Rho m embers headed by Patsy Reese, Janice Schuster, and Norma Davis, will select winners from photograp hs submitted to the Beacon. The pictures of the winners as well as those of their legs will appear in the Wilkes paper, and these fortunate fellows will be -p resented with trophies and useful ana practical gifts. H eading the gift committee will be Beacon editor Tom Myers, Dick Myers, Mary Louise Onufer, and Marion Klawonn. The committee is k eeping the prizes secret, but so far have divulged that trophies will be presented. The closing date of the contest has not yet been announced and will depend upon the response of the m en. If the present enthusiasm continues , Editor Myers hopes to announce the winner in the next f ew weeks . So, hurry and enter men, get your so upbon e in the stew. by M. L. Onufer JAZZ! JAZZ! JAZZ!

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1956 VARSITY DEBATERS ENTER N.Y.U. TOURNAMENT TODAY Photo by Dan Gawlas The four varsity debaters and their coach, who will represent Wilkes today and tomorrow at the N.Y.U. Hall of Fame Tourney, are (left to right): Jesse Choper, John Bucholtz, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, Fred Rob erts , and <Bruce Warshal. Choper and Bucholtz will debate in the negative, Roberts and Warshal will take the affirmative of the national collegiate topic: Resolved, That the United 'States should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries. Dr. Kruger, coach of the team, will accompany them and will act as judge of events not involving his team. Twice in the past, Wilkes College has been well represented at this tourney. Three years ago, the team finished second with a 6-2 record, matching the placement and record of a previous Wilkes entry. Before the debates begin this evening, a. panel of experts on international affairs will hold a preliminary panel discussion of the to.p ie under con. sideration. Dr. Kruger expects to meet an old friend and former student at the tourney, Nick Flannery, now Director of Debate at the University of Pennsylvania. Nick will be remembered on campus as one of the mainstays of former Wilkes debating teams. In the Novice class, two members of the team will also see weekend action. Paul Kanjorski, sophomore, and Armand •Caruso, freshman, will travel to Philadelphia tomorrow to participate in the Temple University Novice Tournament. When interviewed by the Beacon, Dr. Kruger said that the biggest threat from the opposition rests in our own district. The Princeton and St. Joseph's teams will be hard to beat and the Flannery-coached Pennsylvanians may also cause some trouble. Dr. Kruger feels, however, that the four veterans on the varsity will be a tremendous help. Bucholtz and Choper, whom he considers two of the keenest prospects he has ever coached, may well lead the team to the national title. If the debaters meet the qualifying requirements, they will enter the West Point National Invitational meet, which is the Rose ·Bowl of Debate. Dr. Kruger feels that qualification and subsequent high honors in this tourney are not beyond the realm of possibility; that his team has the potential; and that with a few successful meets behind them, the outlook for this year is very bright.

Man's generosity to his fellows sometimes becomes an i;;spiring thing. Everyone speaks of the "Brotherhood of Man. At Wilkes, we to see this generous spirit of brotherhood start before the Christmas season. Next week, Friday, is the College's annual Blood Drive. We can demonstrate our holiday generosity by donating a pint of blood. It should not be necessary to tell college students why the drive is needed - we just want to make everyone aware that the drive is on. Brother, can you spare a pint - of blood? - tim Between the Seasons A very famous sports writer once remarked that the good Lord will judge how they played, above who won and loat. This, in essence, is the story of the Wilkes football and soccer teams. Between the two teams, the college could win but three games, tie one and lose 14. The record may not be very impressive, but they never stopped trying for the Blue and Gold. They played clean and fought hard and did justice to the name of Wilkes. Now, they ask justice from us. The football team played under one coach, which is utterly ridiculous. Both teams could have used more support, and some more and better players. Some people are afraid to promote a better team, for fear of turning the College into a "foundry". We, and many others, are against the idea of creating a college built around a football or any other athletic machine. But we are going from one extreme to another. We have only one grid coach, while high schools in the area have at least three. The men who are the Colonels don't ask for much. But they ask for more than one football coach. Modem football really requires three, but two is the absolute minimum. They ask for more help for the soccer coach, who, at the end of the season, must take charge of wrestling workouts, take care of the gym and administer the intramural programs. An then there is the touchy topic of "Athletic Scholarships". We give free tuition to people who have special ability in all the other fields, from music to math. But not athletes. Every team that Wilkes played on its schedule ·gave athletic scholarships, yet they weren't factories for men who could do nothing but carry the pigskin or play soccer. Many of these players may be too poor to attend college. And they may have an ability to excel in football or another sport. They may have the intelligence and desire to do college work. But they are not given a chance. It is too bad, for these men go to other colleges, where they get assistance. We spoke to one such local athlete, who played for one of the Colonels' opponents. He has a high "B" average and is not being pushed through just because he is a star. He is competing at the same level as any other student in the college. This year's story is in the books. Both teams made mistakes and some fine plays. But they were outclassed because WE, the College - faculty, students and Administration - gave them only token supporL Next year, let's do it right, or not do it at all. C. K. Whal. ~.

Press-History Club Dance by John Pisaneschi Scranton Ballet Guild, under the direction of J ames Sutton and Alexi Ramov, presented a program of Ballet at assembly Tuesday. The premiere showing of Ballet Shoes, composed by Ferdinand Liva, highlighted the program. Mr. Detroy op.ened the program by introducing Mr. Ramov, choreographer of the Ballet Guild. Mr. Ramov spoke briefty about the origin of the term "ballet" and explained that it encompassed not only dancing but also music and drama. He mentioned that dancing and music are a part of our heritage. · Exhibitions of the many different types of ballet dancing were given on the program. Mary Ann Strilka presented a dance in the modern jazz mood. An unusual Spanish character dance was shown by Joan Marie Mc H u g h. Following Miss McHugh's dance, Mr. Ramov explained that character dances are not authentic folk dances but that the ideas for the dances are taken from the folk and national tunes of a country. The exciting Dance of the Bluebird, from Sleeping Beauty, was presented by Sheila Casoria as an example of classical ballet. Classic toe-dancing in the modern jazz idiom was displayed by Romaine Strilka. Linda Bennington and Alberta iBarbini each performed a number from Les Sylphides. The entire troupe danced to portions of the ballet, Pas De Six. Members of the Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Ferdinand Liva, provided the accompaniment for the program. BOWLING MATCHES AT JCC ON SUNDAY Donor Day at Local Red Cross To Commemorate Observance Of Pearl Harbor Anniversary by Richard J. Myers Fifteen years ago, on December 7, the United States was thrown into a global war. Thousands upon thousands of American men were sent into battlefields all over the world to spill their blood on foreign soil. TDR CHARITY AFFAIR DRAWS LARGE CROWD Over 100 faculty, students, and parents attended the annual Theta Delta Rho Card Party Wednesday night in the cafeteria, making this affair one of the most successful in many years. Entertainment, prizes, and refreshments added to the evening of fun. One of the luckiest in the prize department was Dr. Ch'ungTai 'Lu, a memiber of the Economics department. Dr. Lu managed to cop the door prize ( a picture), the raffle prize (a coffee pot), and the table prize. A trio consisting of . Cathy Modica, Judy Menegus, and Peggie Salvatore opened the entertainment for the evening. Following the trio, Joan Rishkofski sang "'Somewhere Along the Way". and Peggie Salvatore played several solos on the accordian. The program was rounded out by a hill-billy comedy routine by Pat Yost and Doris Dzurie. Proceeds from the card party will go for a scholarship which the sorority offers each year to a freshman girl on the basis of scholastic and leadership ability. -------------- Quotable Quotes It is all over now. Many lives have been saved, many men are now gainfully employed, living useful and vital lives because of the source of all human life ... blood. None of us is too young to remember the posters advertising the need for this life-giving fluid. The riflle jammed into the ground, the precious bottle of ,p la·s ma suspended from its stook, and the injured GI receiving a reprieve from death were familiar sights on billboards and in publications throughout the country. Because we are now enjoying a somewhat uneasy peace does not mean that the need for blood donations is over. John Reese, chairman of the Wilkes College blood donor program, announced today that next Friday, the anniversary of the most momentous day in our history, will be Wilkes blood donor day at the Blood Center on South Franklin Street. The hours of collection are from eleven to five. ·L ast year the College set a.n alltime high, donating 100 pints. It is hoped that this year will find our College topping that total. The important feature of the Wilkes donor program is the fact that anyone who donates may later obtain blood for themselves or any member of their family if the need arises. This has the effect of serving a dual purpose in allowing the Blood Bank to serve the community, while the students insure that blood will be available to them without undue difficulty.

City Shoe Repair by Carol Breznay The following is a summary of the results of a survey conducted by the m emb ers of Dr. Mailey's Public Opinion and Pro.p aganda class. The persons contacted in this survey were the Wilkes College faculty and their wives. Eighty individuals were polled, fifty-five of these were faculty, twenty-five were wives . The survey was taken in the two weeks preceding the 1956 presidential election. The poll consisted of twenty questions dealing with various factors which might have contributed to the formation of the interviewed i)erson's party preference or which might have suggested his probable preference : friend's , wife's, parents' preference, interviewed person's age, racial background, etc. The poll had three major purposes: To determine wherether there is a correlation between the party preferenc-e of husbands and wives. To ascertain whether the survey could indicate the interviewed person's party preference on the basis of .his profile. To find out if there is a tendency among the group to be influenced by environmental factors in preferring one •p arty over another. From the survey, the following conclusions were reached: 1. There is a high correlation between the :party preference of husbands and wives. 2. The voting profile can serve as a reasonably accurate predictive device. 3. Wilkes College faculty mem, bers and their wives have been influenced only slightly in their party preferences by the preferences of their parents. 4. Environmental factors are undoubtedly important in contributing to the party preference. ~'";,JUCCD ~~.~~1 ~--:::?--1,,.,- /• E n¥1~ l r~ JORDAN CHARGE ACCOUNT POMEROY'S 3-E.

Press Club Activities Tentatively Scheduled At Wednesday's Meeting The date: December 7, 1941. The place: Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The incident: Japan's infamous attack on an American base. The result: Many Americans Jost their lives and America's defenses received a serious dent. Our great nation, however, recovered from this great shock and soon ended the threat the Ja·panese aggressors posed to the world. Today, the anniversary of that dreadful infamy, is Wil-kes College blood donor day at the Blood Center on South Franklin Street. The hours of collection are from eleven to five. Every student, who can, should give a pint of blood. This small sacri fice can men so much to a sick person in need of this life-giving fluid. There is nothing to fear in giving blood and nothing can compare with that feeling one gets when one r ealizes he will be helping someone. A normal, healthy body replenishes the liquid part of the blood in less than four hours. You can look at the donor program as being a form of insurance. Anyone who donates may later obtain blood for themselves or any meber of their family if the n eed arises. This eliminates the task of looking for donors when a member of their family needs blood. ,By donating, the students allow the ·Blood Bank to serve the community and the blood will always be available whenever they need it. Another important feature of the program is the fact that the Civil Defense program of America is aided. One of the mottos of the Civil Defense organization is Don't be scared, be prepared. This motto can very well fit the description of the donation of blood. Wilkes College is the largest group donor in the Valley and last year set an all time high donating one hundred pints. John Reese, chairman of the Wilkes donor program, hopes the college top that total and he believes 1t can 1f every student will support this project. . Every person over twenty-one 1s eligible to benefit from the experience of donating blood; those students under that age must obtain their parents' permission. :wm STUDENTS PRAISE IRC JAZZ CONCERT by M. L. Onufer The first Jazz Concert held at Wilkes was a tremendous success. The audience seemed to thoroughly enjoy the unusual entertainment and style of the evening. Most of the comments heard were extremely favorable; and the I.R.C., sponsors, intend to continue this as an annual affair. Lee Vincent and his orchestra gave an excellent program of varied types of jazz. Probably the best received was the unprogramm ed di xieland jaziz number When the Saints Come Marching In. Suc,c essfully finishing off the evening was the Elvis .Presley Contest. Only Bob Turley and J esse Choper chose to display their pelvic talents, singing Don't be Cruel.

Speaker for the evening was Mr. Joseph F. Rocereto, senior partner of J oseph F. Rocereto and Company, Consulting Accountants and Management Consultants. The topic of his speech was "Management Cost Controls". Mr. Rocereto discussed the ty,p es of reports that management needs for controlling costs in manufacturing, administration, and sales. He stated that management cost controls consisted of four parts: Financial ,p urpose, Management for Marketing and .Sales, Operating reports, and reports for general purposes. Further discussion included various ideas and descriptions of what a good managerial report should contain. A group discussion period followed the speaker. The students in attendance were also asked to partieipate in the discussion. Mr. Rocereto is also a Director in many well-known organizations: Planters Nut and Chocolate Company, the Third National Bank & Trust •Company, Scranton; the Coaldale -M i n i n g Company, and others. He is the author o;f many books about business, and has also been r ecognized nationally in Who's Who in Industry. The monthly meetings of •S AM have always been very interesting and enlightening. Students attending not only hear a s·peech concerning important business matt ers, but, also, they have the opportunity to see and hear how these problems are approached and set.t ied. L eonard Mulcahy, president of the college chapter of SAM, extends an invitation to all Commerce and Finance students to attend future Senior Cha,p ter SAM meetings. The knowledge gained from these meetings will give a better understanding of the functions of business.

Cue 'n' Curtain ,p resented three one-act plays on three nights this week, and played to near capacity crowds each time. The audiences had much favorable comment for the productions - Seeds of Suspicion, The Leprechaun, and How to Propose. Under the direction of Larry Amdur, a cast led by Fred Whipple and Daisette Gebhart handled the very difficult Seeds of Suspicion quite adequately. Andrew Evans was most effective as the loquacious chemist in his 90 seconds on stage. Marian Laines played the supporting role of Mrs. Sutton quite well. Ronnie Price was the outstanding star of the three -p roductions as the title character in the comedy, The Leprechaun. His Irish brogue could not bury his pixie wit, which completely dominated the play and left the audience roaring. Merri Jones turned in a fine performance as the light-footed, danceloving Katy O'Donnihan. Gen e Stickler was good in his role as a love-sick fisherman and Don H enry portrayed an adequate King of the Leprechauns. A hilarious finish was added to the entertainment by the last play, Whal.~.

Top Team Scorer ASHLEY LEADS KEGLERS In Three Games; BY DEFEATING SHAMROCKS Good on Defense Scoring 74 points in three Colonels' cage contests, veteran George Morgan captured this week's top athlete award. Morgan, one of the leading scorers in small colleges last season, turned in a sparkling performance before the home crowd "in the East Stroudsburg game last week, netting 30 points. In other contests, Morgan scored 18 in the Dickinson game and 36 at Ithaca in the team's opening contest. The six-foot-one junior sparked the ,Colonels in their bid for the first win of the season at home with his splendid ball-handling and timely work off the backboards. U sing his ·fine sense of timing to best advantage, he cleared the ·b oards and tapped in several <key goals in what proved to be a losing cause. The Blue and Gold went down to a heart-breaking 80-85 defeat in overtime in that game. Morgan, a graduate of Plymouth High School, came to Wilkes from Potomac S tate Junior ,College last year. He is a Business Administration major. With his 18 points hel,p ing the Colonels capture their first win of the young season against Dickin,s on, Coach Eddie Davis is looking forward to a successful conclusion of the season. With George in there with his scoring -p unch and backboard ability, it 1 o o ks as ,t hough the Wilkes cagers have an excellent chance to improve last year's r ecord and suriprise a few of the tough opponents on the schedule. PLAN NEW PROGRAM F O R INTRAMURALS A new program for intramural sports will be introduced at Wilkes. John Reese announced he would like to have four freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior boys from the intramural basketball teams help him during the season . These team representatives will take care of scheduling games, keeping scores and r ecords, and other matters done in the past by Mr. Reese and a student director. Relieved of these res•p onsibilities, Mr. Reese will be able to provide a better intramural program for the students. The schedule of the basketball teams participating in the program will appear in next week's issue of the Beacon. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIII SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for ,. 1~ WILIES DANCES at JOHN B.

Six men were in double figures as the ·Colonels poured on the power and romped over the home club, 8·3-58. The game was never close, as Eddie Davis' crew took an early lead and was never headed. The halftime score had the Colonels leading, 42-20. Led -b y George Morgan, with six goals and -s ix foul conversions, the Wilkesmen rang up their first win of the campaign. Freshmen George Gacha and Bob Turley added ten points each to the cause. Eddie Birnbaum contributed 14, Bob Sokol 12, and Elmer Snyder had 10, as all four varsity lettermen hit in double figures. Ray Weaver was high for t he Red Devils with 24. The Colonels dunked 35 goals and made 13 of 19 fouls tried. Dickinson scored 22 goals while converting 14 of 21 throws from the fou l line. Playing in their initial home game of the season Monday evening , the cagers made it two losses in succession, as they were upended by the East Stroudsburg five, 85-80. The Colonels showed excellent board strength and good offensive team play a s they broke through their opponent's zone defense for most of the game. However, superior pressing ability on the part of the Stroud quintet in the last m oments of the regulation game, which ended in a 76-76 deadlock, and good shooting in the overtime period proved to be the difference. George Morgan led the Wilkes attack with 30 points, as he gave TUXEDOS TO RENT MATMEN COP OPENER AGAINST ESTC, 19 - 15 Wednesday afternoon the matmen opened their season in fine style, travelling .to East Stroudsburg to down the Teacher s, 19-15.

Chuck Robbins - SPORTING GOODS 28 "North Main Street The brightest spot of the current campaign has been the fine play of George Morgan. If Morgan's floor play and scoring continue at its present :pac'e, he should be a candidate for state and national honors. Geo rge moves well in the pivot and is exceedingly adept at the give and go. Th e -b ig surprise of the season has been in the quality of the fresh~ man ballplayers. George Gacha, the solidly built,, 5-9 guard, showed plenty of offensive punch at Ithaca College last Saturday evening, as he poured 26, points through the hoop. The expected lack of r ebounding strength fa iled to develop as Bob Turley, an all-valley basketball selection from Nanticoke, played a fine board game against Stroudsburg. Bernie Redecki has lived up to t he expectations and has given the hoopsters strength up front and under the boards. Wilkes seems to lack most the team play and confidence which comes from working together. They have the hejght and the scoring ability; all that's needed is time to develop themse1ves into a cohesive unit.

Can you choose the winners? The girls of Theta Delta Rho evidently are going to have a tough time, but with perseverance, we're sure they will come through. The victors' photos will be printed in the first issue of the Beacon after Christmas - the January 11 issue. So that no one can accuse the judges of being biased, two precautions have been taken. First, the pictures are identified by numbers only, and no one, not even Dan Gawlas, Beacon members, or editors, know to whom the legs belong. And second, a set of standards have been set up to facilitate judging. Here they are: Nice legs: Framework must contain a tibia and a fibia. These should be covered with layers of cells w hich are round, firm, and fully packed. A final layer of epidermal cells must b e present. The presence of pilus is optional--the legs may he improved by the process of depilation, but if this growth is present, there should not be an excess. Hairy legs: Needless to say, here pil us is of the utmost importance, and ther e must be a minimum grow th of at lea st t hree strands per square inc h . Th e amount of curl is left t o t he discretio n of the judges. Knobby knees: The most important feature in thi s category is the presence of a protrudin g patella at least one inch beyond the t ibia (which also must be present) .

We have enjoyed our work as a roving reporter, because it pro:71ded a_ wonderful opportunity to get around the campus and get acquamted with people. We were able to get plenty of writing experience on varied subjects of interest to the Beacon readers. The editor of the sports ·p ages has too much work in his own dep~rtm:nt to go traipsing around after other stories; and though we will miss these activities somewhat, it is time now to get down to the business at hand, begin spurting some sports, and end the explanations. RESCIGNO WINS MENTION We received from the publicity department of Hofstra College a sports release in which our own Ron Rescigno was given honorablemention on the Flying Dutchmen's all-opponent football team. Ron was runner-up to Maryland State's Lenny Butler. Still speaking of football, further consolation for our not-tooimpressive winning record ean be found in the words of one of the offieials of the Lebanon Valley game. We had the pleasure of driving to that game with Dr. Steinman of Scranton, who was referee. After the contest we asked him what he thought of the team. He replied that he was impressed with their scrappiness and determination. He had never seen a team being beaten so decisively still tontinue to fight. We'd like to go on record as concurring whole-heartedly with that opinion. CAGERS FINDING RANGE Better days are in sight, though. While the cagers of Coach Eddie Davis had a slow start, their games have been anything but dull, and the stirring finish to Monday night's pulse-pounding contest with Moravian should provide assurance that all future home games will be held in a packed gym. We hope so, anyhow. Art additional bright spot on the horizon of Wilkes athletics is the mat team. If they can continue to match or approach the record of last year's stellar squad, we can look forward to many happy days in campus sports.

No definite plans have yet been made for the dance, but it will be a modern sport dance instead of a square dance as last year.

The name of the winner of the best combination beard and moustache will •b e inscribed on a permanent trophy. .In addition, he will receive a Sunbeam electric shaver, which should be quite "a propos". Three other priz.es will be awarded for the mostest moustache, the peachiest ,p each fuzz, and the bushiest beard. Last year's event was judged by ,Congressman Dan Flood, radio and 'TV personality Hal Berg, and Bob .Moran. The council will meet Mon·day evening to select judges for this year's contest. Carl Ernst has been appointed to seek possibilities. ,S ophomore Bill •S tewart was last year's winner of the best combination. Len Mulcahy, Al Jones, and Ed Kotula also captured prizes. Mulcahy and Sam Puma also added a little interest in last year's contest by wearing their hair in the style of the barber shop quartets and wearing quite ·b right colored shirts. Since the contest is expected to be bigger and better than that of last year, the males should start thinking about g row in g their beards. ________ them in a ten-inch cigarette holder, the campus character replied that his doctor told him to get plenty of exercise and to stay away from tobacco.

This year the college is trying something new. · Most exams are being given in the gym. · One of the main reasons for this is the construction work which is going on for the new Science Building. The work has greatly reduced the amount of classroom space available for examinations. The Lecture Hall would not be suitable to the concentration necessary for a final. The two annexes were quite often used for this purpose, but they were torn down during the past summer. · So, examinations in the gym are a necessary evil. The chances are that it will still be necessary to hold them there for the Spring semester. Everything will be done to make conditions as easy as possible and the best thing to do is just to bear with it. It's another part of the price of progress. Professor H. V.

(V for Variable) Feelzwell is, or was, one of the leading molders of student opinion on the Wilkes Campus. His first ap- ' pearance in print was in the Bucknell Junior College Beacon way back in the last decade, around 1945. Since then, the Professor has voiced his opinions on nearly every phase of life on campus, but not lately. To the faculty, we issue a warning: Take care if you choose to be critical; you never can be sure when you are criticizing one of your colleagues to his face. To the students: Manuscripts accepted from moles do, not necessarily reflect the opinions of the editorial staff. MENTAL HEAL.TH TALK GIVEN AT ASSEMBLY Dr. Edward Janjigian, chief psychiatrist at the Wyoming Valle•, Veterans Hospital, was the feature1 speaker at Tuesday's Assembly, held in the gym. Dr. Janjigian, a former member of the faculty, spoke on mental h ealth. He traced the development of personality through the influences of heredity and environment, using a portable blackboard to illustrate his examples. In describing the various mechanisms of the mind, Dr, Janjigian explain.e d the manner in which th e s e mechanisms make adjustm ents, although often in conflict with one another. The lecturer emphasized many mental processes, such as rationalization, which are often employed by healthy minds, and are at times of great assistance in helping the individual make adjustments to the environment. 12:00 9:00 8:30 8:30 4:00 9:00 12:00 9 :00· 9:00 1'2:00 12:00 4:00 7 :30 4:00 8:00 11:00 12:00 li2,:15 12 :00 11:00 12:00 4:00 9 :Of DEBATE TEAM ENTERS (continued from pag& 1) WHAT IS A COLLEGE GIRL? Betwee~ the sedate older woman .and the jitterb ug of the teens, w_e find a h~ht-hea~ed character 1known as the college girl. College girls come m all sizes, shapes, and various dyed locks. The coeds' motto: . Not study, of course, but boys, boys, boys, and more boys. (That mcludes men, too.) . Colle?e girls are found anywere . . . near men's locker s, engineermg drawmg rooms, calculus classes, physics lab, and anywhere she can find a m ember of the opposite sex. Mothers love them, fathers love them, but most of all, m en love them. A college girl is bobby socks and bermuda shorts, loveliness with peroxide on her shelf, and the budget-maker of tomorrow who spent next week's allowance last week. A college girl combines the charms of Zsa Zsa Gabor with the naivete of Judy Holliday, and no matter what she wants she geneerally gets him. ' She likes college weekends, crew cuts and dirty bucks, cancelled classes, football games, Cadillacs and dates, dates, dates. (And not the kind that grow on trees,) She breaks the h earts of the dorm housemother, the Dean of Women, and the fellow she happened to date last n~ght. The coed is an en chanting creature .. . you can get her off your mind but not out of your hair; you can lock her out of your heart but not out of your wallet.

Feelzwell took a look at his trusty timepiece which at that moment read 1956 A.D. "Nearly 1957," he thought, "things certainly have been quiet around here recently." And that they had. As a matter of fact, things were still rather quiet. Six feet above Herkimer's comfy little coffin the lawn between Kirby and Chase was covered with snow. Even the paths were covered with snow. No one could expect Jervis' genii to shovel snow on Christmas morning. As a matter of fact no one had even made tracks in the snow on the paths. The campus was deserted. Herkimer V. (for Veracious) Feelzwell turned from his left side to his right side and then bumped his head as he tried to sit up. After .six years in his fur-lined coffin Herkimer still forgot that his quarters had low ceilings. He turned back to his left side and looked at the mole who had just stuck his head in the .win~o':';', or s_tarboard port~?le to be ex?ct.
