Wilkes has risen rapidly in the past 23 years and looks toward a bright future as the generous gifts of the friends of Wilkes College show their faith in the future of the institution and hence in Wyoming Valley's future. The year 1957, although still young, shows promise of being equal or perhaps better than 1956, the year in which the college began its development program. The expansion of facilities is vital to the College and to the community, since the number of students graduating from local high schools is increasing. Now operating at full capacity, expansion is the only way in which Wilkes can live up to its motto of community service. ___________________ .___February 1, 1957 Friday, _;,,~:;:;;;;:....::.,::;..:;;;;;;;;;;;.,;;;,;.;;;;...;;;.;;;;;;.;;..;;._;;..;;.; WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 More Homes Acquired In Expansion Program Allergy Study Findings Pointing up the work of the College's biology research laboratory is the coming meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, which will be held in Los Angeles.

These homes were acquired in the Twent y-fifth Anniversary Ex1>ansion Program which is now in progress. The Dobson home was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss, the former being a member of the board of trustees of the college. Wilkes College's acquisition of two more South River Street buildings has boosted the number of campus properties to a total of thirty-four. The transaction, which is part of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Expansion Program, is another step forward in the growth of the college. The properties of the late W . F. Dobson and Dorrance Reynolds , respectively, are adjacent to each other and face the River Common. The W. F. Dobson home at the corner of South River and West Northampton Streets was given to the colleg e by Aaron Weiss who purchased it as a gift to the school. It is understood that the home will bear the Weiss family name. Mr. Weiss, a very prominent businessman and found er of the Triangle Shoe Company in this city, is a member of the college's board of trustees. According to available records, the Dobson home was built in the early 1900's. Dr. Eugene S. Farley has stated that the property will continue to be used as a residence and for offices for at least another year. Presently, it houses the offices of the Charles S. Rockey accounting firm. The late Mr. Dobson, who presented the W. F . Dobson Accounting A ward to the outstanding accounting major, had always hoped that his home would someday be part of Wilkes College. Mr. Weiss' beneficence made this hope a reality. The Dorrance Reynolds ho m e which was purchased by the college, will be used as a women's dormitory, ma,king it the third girls' r esidence on South River Street and bringing the current total number of dormitories to seven. The Reynolds building is an area landmark since it is one of the oldest structures in the locale. It was built in the early 18'4.0's about the same time as was the McClintock home, a short distance north of it. The M<:Clintock dormitory was given to the college by the chairman of the board of trustees, Gilb ert S. McClintock. Dr. Farley also revealed that an- FRESHMAN HAYRIDE AT POCONO RESORT The Freshman class will hold a "cool" hayride at the El Pocono Dude Ranch on Saturday, February 9.

But move, "man", move because the money has to be handed in by February 1. other r ecent acquisition, the former Stella Wadham's home, across from the gymnasium, will be converted into a men 's dormitory next fall. In · accordance wi-th the college expansion program, the Admiral Stark Science Hall is presently being const r ucted and will be ready f or cla sses next semester. Future plans for coll ege growth include the building of a n ew arts center a nd a uditorium. - WILKES COLLEGE - Beacon A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

The speaker also stated that the trouble in the Middle East started with the creation of the state of Israel. Because thousands of people flocked to the new state, the Arab peoples were forced to move. Since there are over 800,000 Arabs in the world today, they cannot be taken lightly. Mr. Webb declared that the Egyptian dictator, Nasser, is determined to wipe out Israel. This fact, plus the Russian build-up in Egypt, caused Israel to attack Egypt. Great !Britain and France came into the skirmish, but withdrew their troops when the United Nations ordered them to. Plans for a United Europe are being considered by the countries of Italy, England, France, Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Guided missiles will take the ,p lace of manpower. He said West Germany does not favor the plan of a United Europe; however, elections will be held soon and new men favoring •t he plan may head the government. The West Germans are concerned with uniting their country and may come to, an agreement with the Russians or regain East Germany by force. The free world must work together to combat Communism. This will be possible through a stronger and more equal U.N. He referred to the fact that the Security Council, composed of five nations, controlled the U.N. Mr. Webb remarked that revolutions similar to the recent Hungarian revo lution can be expected in all Communist nations.

The handicap is so arranged that the lower the average, the higher the handicap each individual receives . The first tourney will be between t eams of five bowlers. The distribution of males and females on these teams will be left to the team captains. Following this event, there will be competition for mixed doubles and male doubles. All events will consist of one round of play. They will be held Sunday evenings at the Jewish Community Center; starting time will be 7 :00 p.m. Rosters for any or all events may be given to Jane Kei-bel, Sterling Hall; Beacon Sports Editor Dick Myers; or ,B arry Miller, Ashley Hall.

Early in the season rthey romped over King's College and then barely eked out a victory from Yeshiva, a t eam soundl y beaten by King's. The Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra, beaten by the Colonels, beat Scranton by better than 15 points. If such a comparison can be considered, the Colonels should even up their record at six wins and six losses. Four of the five wins were consecutive. Lycoming broke the four-game winning streak of the Wilkes cage team at Williamsport, wi,th the Warriors on the long end of an 8477 score. Morgan was high for the Colonels with 32 points.

The r eport was dated January 5, at which date the Plymouth junior h eld a 25.2 average with a total of 252 ,p oints in ten games. George scored 3,2' in a losing cause against Lycoming at the Williamsport college.

WILKES JOINS MASCAC Wilkes College t ennis, baseball, an d basketball teams will enter into organized leagu e competition with other m ember colleges in the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conferen ce (MASCAC.) in addition to exist ing participation in soccer, golf, and wrestling leagues. The MASCAC will divide the schools into three divisions, the larger school s to be named the University Division, the smaller ones in the Collegiate Division will be divided into North and South groups. Along with Wilkes in the North Colleg e Division will be Albright, Dickinson, Elizabethtown, Gettysburg, Hofstra, J uniata, Lebanon Valley, Lycoming, Moravian, Scranton, Stevens, Susquehanna, and Wagn er. Competition in at least 11 games will qualify for the championship honors of each group. For the first time in many years, the closedMy ers door wrestling tournament held annuall y by the MASCAC will see the Colonels in the act. The tourney, held at Gettysburg College this year, will find several of the teams which the Wilkes squad has defeated this year. Should the men of the Blue and Gold continue their winning ways, they may well enter the tournament as favorites. HELP WANTED - WHISTLE TOOTERS Bob Pitel and his student committee are doing a great job with the organization and supervision of the intramural basketball l eagu es . His officials, however, could use a little h elp. Coach J ohn R eese, Director of Intramural Sports, asked us to issue a plea for volunteers to give these lads a hand. The only r equirements are a knowledge of basketball rul es, a desire to learn t h e fin e art of " callin ' them as ya see them", and a good quantit y of intestinal fo rtitude. THOSE "IN ACTI VITY PA SSES" W e have always been of t he opinion that a ti ck et paid for is one to be u sed. Perhaps the ma jority of the students on campus don't realize that they are paying for the student a ctivities passes which they put into their wallets a nd then us e only on rare occasions. These and oth er privileges are taken into consideration when the tuition rates are fig ured. Therefore, it seems rather pointless to us that more people do not take advantage of this pass Ther e are two t eams presently active, both requiring admission fe es (or activity pass) and the support they are receiving from t h e student body is something less than inspiring. The cagers always put on a good show for the home fans, and would b e capable of even better things if the gym w ere filled as it should be when they play. Those who claim they "don't understand" or "don't enjoy" wrestling, are missing a good entertainment bet, a s the Wilkes matmen are currently riding on an unparalleled eleven-straight victory string.

Friday, February I, 1957 Three Seniors Accepted By Med. Schools Meyer, Stein, Weiner Satisfy Requirements BIOLOGIST TO REPORT Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, director of the college's biology research laboratory, will present a •p aper dealing with the findings of Wilkes' allergy research .p roject to a nationwide group early this month. The paper, d(;)aling with the experiments of the Wilkes group, will be presented at the 13th annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy on February 4 in Los Angeles. Aiding Dr. Cohen in the research ,p roject were Dr. Francis J. Michelini, assistant ,p rofessor of biology, and res ear c ,h assistants Daniel S. Dzury and Vincent Drapiewski. The research ,p roject studied the effects on rabbits of staphylcoccus aureus, a common bacteria responsible for infections. The study indicated that the bacteria used on the rabbits is not only responsible for infection but causes allergic reactions as well. Value of the Wilkes experiments lies in that the reactions of the rabbits studied by Dr. Cohen and his researchers may parallel the reactions of human beings, thus.· providing science with a clue to possible causes of allergies in humans. Protection against the type of -bacteria studied in the Wilkes laboratory has proved difficult up to n ow, inasmuch as bacteria used in the immunizing vaccines injected into humans undergo changes in the treatment which make them differ from infecting bacteria, or so laboratory experiments indicated. The study also suggests that changes may therefore .p erhaps be needed in current methods of immunization agains,t bacterial infections. WHAT IS A COLLEGE MAN? Between the senility of second childhood a n d t h e light-hearted lechery of the t eens, we find a loathsome creature called th e college man. College men come in all assorted sizes, w eights, and states of sobriety, an d all have the same creed: To do nothing every second of every minute of eve ry day and to protest with w h i n i n g noises (their great weapon) when t h eir las minute of inertia is finished and Les Weiner Art Meyer THE KERNEL'S KORN by Dick Myers The New Year's celebrations are over and the already-broken resolutions lay behind about as firm and strong as a pretzel after three days' immersion in beer. We didn't make any of the customary resolutions, following one made ten years ago: to whit, never again to make a New Year's resolution. It's the only one we've ever b een able to keep. In attendance at one of the local New Year celebrations was a very drunk plumber. Guess you'd call him the pie-eyed piper. ·Some college lads got a bit gay on this festive occasion and decided to conduct an old-fashioned "panty-raid". When apprehended and hauled before the judge, they were all booked but one. He was set free when he explained that this was his first slip. A big Texan, his wife, and his six-year-old son entered one of the local bars. The man st epped up to th e bar and ordered two doubl e shots of whiskey. The little fellow looked a bit puzzled, then turned to his father and asked, "What's the matter with Ma, ain 't she drinkin '?" Then t here's the guy who delivers coal.

GRAD STUDY EXAMS I J Jerome Stein LOAN FUND CREATED BY FACULTY WOMEN The W i 1 k es Faculty Women's Club has announced the creation of a Girls' Loan Fund for the women students of the college. The plan is already in operation. The fund, which now has a capital of almost 50 dollars, is designed to aid girls on the campus who find th emselves in minor financial crises. The money can be obtained immediat ely, and may be repaid t o the fund at the con venience of the student with absolutely no interest charge. The loan, which will be negotiate<l through Mrs. Doane's office, may be obtained from Mrs. Doane, Miss Jesse, or Miss Clark and will be handled with the strictest coniidence. Money for the plan was raised through contributions of the Wilkes Faculty Women's Club to meet what th ey thought was a real need on the campus . Eventually, this group hop es to increase the capital of th e fund. Three biology majors have recently been notified of their acceptance by medical schools, according to an announcement by Dr. Alfred W. Bastress, Dean of Instruction. The students, all seniors, are Leslie Weiner, Forest Riis, N. Y.; Jerome Stein, N ew York City; and Arthur Meyer, Exeter. Upon graduation from Wilkes, Weiner, a resident of A shley Hall, will study at the medical college of the University of Cincinatti. He is th e son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Weiner of Forest Hills, and has been a consistent dean's list student. Weiner is president of the Biology ,Club, Ashley Hall, and is currently a laboratory research assistant for the college's ragweed sensitization project. He has been a member of the Student Council for ,t h e past several years, and is presently serving as parliamentarian of that organization. J erry Stein, the son of Mrs. Ida Stein Barish of New York, has .been accepted at the medical school of the State University of New York. A roommate of Weiner, he has been active in many campus organizations. He has served as treasurer of the Biology Club, vice president of his dormitory, a representative on the lnter-dormitorv council, and a member of the Beaoon staff. He has been a dean's list student, and is also c urrently a laboratory research assistant for the college's ragw eed sensitization project. Art Meyer, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Meyer of 124 Lincoln Street, Exeter, will go to the Jefferson Medical School, Philadelphia..

The Beacon believes that one of these yo ung women may be here on ,campus. A campuswide contest will be held to choose the women of best taste, grooming, and planning here at Wilkes. A judging committee will choose ten young co-eds as candidates for the title, "B e st Dressed Woman on Campus". From these candidates, -the student body will elect the campus clothes queen. This is not a popularity contest. Three photographs of the winning contest will be submitted to Glamour Magazine for entry in the national contest. Ten national winners will be photographed for the August issue of the publication, and will receive a "iBest Dressed" award from Glamour. For the very fi rst time, the magazine will devote an entire issue to college fashions, featuring these winners. Tom Myers, Beacon editor, has been invited to serve as campus chairman of the judging committee. He has selected the following campus leaders as members of his committee: Beacon Associate Editors Norma Davis and Janice Schuster; Theta Delta Rho president, Patsy Reese; and Student ,Council president, Don Reynolds. �2 Friday, February 8, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON News, Photo Contest to Give Cash Prizes EDITORIALS - Student Views Manuscript The Beacon is happy to see that someone is noticing some of the poorly organized dubs and organizations on campus. By this, we mean Tom Kaska's Letter to the Editor in this issue. In his open letter to the student body, Mr. Kaska expresses his views on ALL that is lacking in the College's "literary" magazine, the Manuscript, We sympathize with Mr. Kaska's criticism and feel that more students should voice their opinions on what they consider campus shortcomings.

Si;iJRii.SiURTS......t GACHA CHOSEN AS WEEK'S ATHLETE I byDICKMYERS,SportsEd;to, I FOR PLAYMAl(ING, SCORING SKILL During the past few days, we have been sampling opinion on campus concerning the Student Council's decision to take action on the purchase of a bus for the us e of Wilkes athletic teams. The general consensus seems to favor such action. It is rather pointl ess to list the innumerable advantages of this move, but we can't resist the opportunity to mention at least one safety. The tell,ms generally travel to their games in cars, very often with the players themselves at the wheel. Tension due to the impending contest, dangerous road conditions, and driver fatigue following strenuous physical activities are but a few of the pitfalls faced by the men who carry the Blue and Gold into athletic combat. These obvious dangers, together with the other annoyances and inconveniences involved in this m ethod of transportation are excellent reasons for the whole-hearted support of every student in this proposed effort by the Student Council. Dean George Ralston, when queried by this writer on the matter, replied that the Administration has wanted to do something along these lines for many years. He noted also that the very high cost of purMyers chasing and maintaining such a vehicle has made it difficult for the College heads. We don't know what plans the Student Council will reveal to co·p e with the financial difficulties, but this looks like an excellent opportunity for the student body, through the classes and campus organizations, to get together in a concert'ed fund-raising effort to help with the purchase of a bus. · Colonels Even Record With 90 to 78 Victory Over Scranton Royals The Colonels of Coach Eddie Davis reached the .500 mark last Collected 53 Points In Last Two Outings Ou Fade-away Shooting This week's Athlete award goes to George Gac ha for his consistent ball handling a n d rebounding.

E very man on the team won, all by pins except in the 167pound class. John Macri turned in the Colonel's seventh pin in 4:29 to complete the shutout and make the score, 38-0. Macri, in the heavyweight division, weighed 191 to Frank Agnello's 240. The only man who did not gain a fall was Walt Glogowski, who barely missed that accomplishment in the second period, when the bell saved his opponent, Ed Receski .. Walt won, 10-2. Jim Ward and Don Reynolds, both undefeated, wrestled twin brothers. Jim, at 130 pounds, pinned Jack White in 3:58. The other White brother, ,Bob, fell to "Tiger"· Don Reynolds in 4:49 in the 137~. pound class. Keith Williams, recent returnee to the squad, pinned Don Flick in the 123-pound division in 6 :28. In the 147-pound class, Joe Morgan met Howie Eisenbeis in one of the fastest bouts of the evening. Both men were quick and aggressive, but Morgan, leading, 7-2,; took his man down in the third period and turned in another Wilkes fall at 7:59. Wrestling at 157, Terry Smith met Ray Sobol. Not much can be said about this bout, as Smith got his man early, executed a quick take-down, and neatly pinned his man in one minute and three seconds. Neil Dadurka took only a few more seconds to dispose of Jack Ayres in the 177-pound class, gaining his fall in two minutes even. The win was the eighth straight this year for Coach John Reese's men, and their twelfth in succession, going back to last year. They have now won 19 out of their last 20 m eets, a n .enviable record . minutes; Woods emerged the winner by a 10-8 score. Terry Smith and Dave Thomas, in the 157-pound and 167-pound classes, won hard fought matches. Terry bested his man, 4-2, while Dave won, 7-2. In the 177-pound class, Walt Glogowski wrestled the ca.ptain of CCNY, Bernie Stolls. During the first period, the two strong wrestlers traded points, but Walt took control in the second period. He pinned Stolls at 6:35. Neil Dadurka, wrestling in the heavyweight class against a larger man, picked up his fifth victory of the season by a seore of 6-4. Although the score does not show it, Neil was in control all the way, always one move ahead of his opponent. As a team, Coach John Reese's men were superb. Their excellent training and conditioning stood out, a major factor in the Colonels' decisive victory. This win was a big one for the team, since •CCNY was the strongest team they have faced this season.

The Center offers many recreational facilities to its members and many of the men and women of the college have availed themselves of this privilege. iBowling, swimming, ping pong and basketball are among some of the more popular sports on tap at the South River Street institution. Mrs. Sophie Cohen, managress qf the Coffee Shop, has a close affection to the students of Wilkes, not only because she meets so many of them on the job, but since her daughter, Merle, is also enrolled in the college. Merle is a freshman studying medical stenography. Dave Vann, an economics major, also lists many other activities on campus after his name.

The short story course is not offered often enough, and when it is offered, it too inevifably suffers from the limitations which time ( one semester) ,p laces upon both student and teacher. The over-all result of· such a policy, in my opinion, is that in the long run, the college does not attract students interested in writing for the sake of writing. There is not, in other words, a camp of developing young writers on the campus upon whom the Manuscript can depend. It must, instead, depend for success upon the individual student with extraordinary talent. When such students leave the college, the quality of the magazine necessarily dips. However, the college is not completely devoid of creative talent, as past issues of the Manuscript will attest. Such talent appears in the magazine in an unpolished, undeveloped and often crude form, a direct and more-openly-visible result of the ,policy. It is such talent, also, that elicits the second of the major criticisms. The end result, as I see it, is that the magazine, as a result of adverse criticism, has ·sunken to a low level of esteem in the eyes of the student body, and more significantly, in the eyes of those with writing ability.

Poland, said Mr. Linder, the area of the earliest revolt is now involved in an anti-Semitic campaign. The speech was -continued with a reference to the Middle East situation and Nasser. According to the speaker, it seemed that the U.S. left her most important European friends to side with a dictator. This dictator has shown through h is ,past actions that he is more interested in advancing his own dictatorial power than the econ.omic and cultural gains of his country. Mr. Linder made mention of another ruler, King Saud of Saudi Ara•b ia, whose visit to the U.S. caused much debate. He, too, said Mr. Linder, engages in many practices contrary to the ideals of this country, but our diplomats blindly ignore these facts. To prove his point the speaker referred to the fact that Saudi Arabia is the largest slave trade center in the world. Also, the speaker claim ed that King Saud uses th e American-Arabian Oil companies to satisfy his own pleasures rather than to improve his country. During his reign, he has built only ten grade schools and two high schools. Mr. Linder also mentioned that during the last Geneva convention the issue to abolish slave trade internationally was discussed. Countries like Red China and Russia voted in favor of it while the U.S. voted against it. The reasons given were that no outside country had the right to mingl e in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state. Slavery in this case was considered an internal affair. The speaker mentioned th at while the diplomatic position of the U.S. is secure in countries like Iran, West Germany, and South Korea, the leaders of these countries are old and hold their positions on shaky grounds. Their absence, says Mr. Linder, is bound to cause a vacuum in the international affairs of their countries . The speaker tried to emphasize the need to foresee and thus avoid such so-ca.Jled "Jughead Diplomacy". Mr. Linder believes the r ecent plans for a United Europe are one such step. If such had been the situation during the Middle East Crisis, the result might have been different. TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Price To Students 198 SO. WASHINGTON ST.

Ward Wins Tenth, Approaches Mark Held by Masonis by Dick Myers The W i l k e s. College wrestling team's winning streak was halted Wednesday night at the WC gym with a 13-13 tie. Jim Ward's win in the 13·0..pound match gave him a total of 36 -p oints scored this. season on three pins and seven decisions. 'l'his. is three points. short of the all-time Wilkes scoring record, set last yea.r by Bob Masonis. 1Bob had a 9-1 season, with six of his wins coming on falls, for a total of 39 .p oints. With two bouts remaining, the Colonels held a 13-7 edge, but the future teachers from Millers.v ille used their heavy "artillery" to good advantage. Both Walt Price . at 177, and Paul Baiker, heavyweight, turned in decisive wins. over Walt Glogowski and Neil Dadurka. Keith Williams opened the meet with a closely-fought battle in the 12G-pound class. Both boys w ere evenly matched, but stalling tactics by Millersville's Ja.c k Webb cost him a point, and Keith turned in his third straight win. Jim Ward, at 130, met a local product, Kingston's Al Husband. W·a rd was in control most of the way, and looked sharp to turn in fos tenth straight win, on an 8-3 count. In one of -t he close.s t and fast.est bouts of· the evening, Don Reynolds found his. 5-4 decision over Ed Graham t1.1rned into a 5-5 draw, i,.s Referee Bill Lee awarded Graham <me point for "riqing" time.

J esse Choper and John Bucholtz, · both seniors :who have represented the college well in several contests, will take the negative stand on the question: Resolved that the United States should discontinue economic aid to foreign countries. Bruce W arshall and Fred Roberts, who have had much experience in debate contests although a junior and sophomore, respectivel y, will ta,ke the affirmative stand on the issue. Kruger stated that thirty teams are entered in the tournament. Def ending titlist will be the St. John's quartet which has claimed the top honors for the past two years. The St. Joseph's debaters, who were runners-up last year are also entered in this year's competition. Since the Wilkes debaters won at Buciknell and placed second in team points at New York University, Kruger expects his team to rank high among the winners. Dr. Kruger stressed the need of replacements for his debaters. Any interested persons who desire to begin training this semester may have the opportunity to gain a top position on next year's varsity debate team. Frank Lutinski Speaks At Joint Chem Meeting In King's Science Hall The Intercollegiate Chemical Society of Northeastern Pennsylvania held its annual Meeting in Miniature last night in the auditorium of the King's College Science Building. One student from each of the members schools (King's, Wilkes, Scranton · U., and Misericordia) gave papers on various phases of chemistry. Topics included were: Physical, Nuclear, and Biological chemistry, with a question-andanswer session at the end of each talk. One of the principal speakers was Frank Lutinski, a senor chemistry major and vice-president of the Wilkes College Chemical Society. Mr. Lutinski, a graduate of Plymouth High School, gave a very interesting and informative lecture entitled "The Nucleus ~ What Holds It Together," in which h e described the various th e or i e s which have risen as possible solutions to this all-important problem. Mr. Lutinski also said that this is a problem which scientists have been struggling to solve since it was discoveJ:'.ed that the atom has a nucleus. It is a problem which has consumed more man-hours both I Student teaching began last Mon-· day when twenty-eight secondary education majors and nine elementary education majors reported to various public schools to begin their duties. The student teaching block is eight weeks in duration, and aims at placing the Wilkes students in as nearly a realistic teaching situation as possible. All other education classes, which the student t eachers are ta,king, are accelerated courses. This means that in a three-credit course, for example, one would attend class six hours a week before and after student t eaching, but not at all during the teaching period. This year, students have been placed in Coughlin High School, Meyers H i g h School, Kingston High School, Hoyt School, Franklin School, Third Avenue School, and Rutter A venue School.

The central thei:ne of the dance will commemorate the giving of the first Valentine and the crowning of the first Valentine Queen.

These Valentines will be attached to the walls of the gym and will bear the names of the co uple who bought them. In an interview Tuesday, prom chairman Peggy Stevens said that this new and unusual idea not only will make the gym more festive, but it also will give the couples a souvenir of a wonderful evening.

The college student comes generally as a youthful, unshaped individual who has had little experience with independence. As he goes through the education process, he is supposed to learn how to .z;egulate himself and his habits. They word is selfregulation. . In a democratic society, man is supposed to have the freedom to choose his behavior patterns, as long as they do not interlere with the rights and privileges of others. On Tuesday, a ·ban on card-playing in the Dining Commons was announced. What are the jutifications of this ban? • First and foremost, there is the fact that too many students who play cards are doing poorly in their class work. We see some justification in this, but also some injustice. There are many who are making good grades. . Secondly, there is the fact that the large number of people who use the Commons for eating purposes cannot, be adequate- · ly served if space is given · over to other · activities. Another sound claim, and hardly disputable. Moreover, an eating place is not the proper place for such activity. GUILTY PARTIES SILENT For these and other reasons, the Administration has found it necessary to lay the ban on cards. And the anguish wail . arises. And, as usual, it is the cry of the innocent. The. guilty parties mumbled in their beards 'til about one o'clock on: Tuesday, then decided to lay low, rolled over and went to sleep. Those who play cards for diver-sion and social fun decided to see what could be done about it. It was learned that the ban does not preclude playing in the campus lounge, one of the purposes for which it was created. The Administration is willing to provide more adequate facilities in the lounge, providing that the same abuses do not creep in there. · . WORK GOES FORWA~D - In spite of the bad weather, workmen on the Admiral R. Stark Science Hall have made much progress. Work has been started on the sides of the structure and plastic sheets have been added since the above photo wa.s taken to protect the workers from the weather. The frame is completed and pipe fitting on the lower floors is almost finished. It is expected t,hat the building will be· dedicated before start of the next school year. SPOILERS NOT WANTED .niose whodo not wish to engage in sociable play and m· dulge in it with moderation are not wanted in the lounge. Miss Mildred Gittins, .patron '.'saint" of the student lQ:µn,ge,. will be on ihand to exert a healthful and wholesome influence. · ' Card playing; as .we and many others see it, is not a vice. Many.happy and fruitful social,hours have been spent over the games in the C~mons; , This social activity is also a part of college 1 lif,e and· learning. Social courtesy and bearing learned in games can be very useful in meeting and getting along with others. · Those who cannot regulate their own habits and force themselves to put aside enough time for study will be punished b:ylower grades and perhaps failure. They .can hcn:cily be pitied for falling by the wayside. But they , are the spoilers who inevitably panish the others, those who regulate and are moderate in their card-playing and study habits.

To be List~d Mar~h 1 Dear Editor:. For Student VOt l n g I would like to take this opportunity to express my sen~itnents regarding the new law at .:Wilkes College that there will be no card playing in t he Dining Commons. I am a Senior and have seen many groups of students come and go. Many of these people have managed to gmduate with good marks and have acquired excellent jobs despite the fact that they are amang those who played cards during the school hours. I do not believe that the two facts, card playing and marks, can be correlated with any degree of accuracy. There have been a few examples of people who have bad marks and have played cards. However, there is no proof that these bad marks are the result of card playing. There are numerous other people on campus who do not play cards and yet they still have poor grades. The grades can be dependent on whether a person plays cards or not but there are few people who have flunked out of school or pull- The "Best Dressed· Girl on Cam-• pus" Contest ...which . the Beacon is running in collaboration with Glamour magazine will officially open. on March 1, when the Beacon will publish the names of the t en nominees and a ballot on which members of the student body are to indicate their selection.

Both judges and students are reminded that this contest is not run on the basis of popularity. We are looking for a well-dressed girl. Perhaps in the choice of this girl, it would be well to keep a few pertinent points in mind. Be sure she has a nice figure, since a well-dressed woman is never· careless about her shape.

He was a one-man gang as he cut the Wilkes nine-point lead drastically with seven points, while the Colonels held on. Bob Turley was the leading rebounder of the game, grabbing 18, while Birnbaum turned in a fine floor performance. The Colonels, after enduring a seven-hour drive and some nasty road conditions, required the entire firS t half to get loosened up, enabling the Knights to take a 38-33 halftime lead. The most satisfying factor, however, was the fine showing made by the six freshmen of the squad. Coach Eddie Davis has promised that these men will see plenty of action in the future.

It shouldn't surprise you then that it took some time before John Jackson discovered the one brand of mathematics that seemed customtailored to his ability and temperament. John is an Applied Science Representative, working out of the IBM office at 122 East 42nd Street, N. Y. C. First of all, what's it all about? What does a fellow like John Jackson do all day? In his own words, "I keep in touch with the executives of many different companies-advising them on the use of their IBM electronic data processing computers. I personally consult with these customers, and analyze their scientific and technical problems for solution by IBM. Occasionally, I'm asked to write papers, and give talks and demonstrations on electronic computing. All in all, it's pretty fascinating ... something new pops up every day." In other words, John is a full-fledged computing expert, a consultant ... and a yery important person in this Calling on a customer coming age of automation through electronics. Since the IBM laboratories are always devising easier and faster ways to solve the problems of science, government, and industry, an Applied Science Representative can never say he's learned his job and that's the end of it. At least once every two months, he attends seminars to be updated on the latest developments in engineering and operations research. ,.. ·,. ,t:q Swank, Crew Cuts ,Meyer, Ashley Aces Mattey , Lazy Eight .

Later, for this same company, John organized the establishment of computer systems for aircraft performance pre~ctions . . . for data reduction of wind tunnel tests ... and for wing stress analysis. At the same time, he worked with this company's own employees, training them in the use of IBM equipment. John still drops around to see that everything is running smoothly. Another service that John performs is the constant reappraisal of each customer's IBM operation. Occasionally, a customer may tie himself in knots over a procedural "stickler." Periodically, in fact, John brings IBM customers together ... just to talk over what's happening in each other's business-how everybody else handled that old bugaboo in any industry ... details. New fleld for Mathematicians During the two years that John has spent with IBM in Applied Science, he has guided innumerable IBM customers to new and better ways of doing things electronically. For example: about a year ago, a leading aircraft manufacturer wanted to experiment with a radically different design for a nuclear reactor. Although the basic format had been established, the project still required many months of toil with mathematical equations.

Even now, this kind of work may be news to you. It was to John Jackson a few years back when he was an undergraduate at the University of Colorado. At that time, he was considering actuarial work or mathematical research. But John liked the excitement and diversification of science and industry and he wanted to use his • NATIONAL LEAGUE G p 3 48 B.

Seven foreign sturents from the college related incidents from their lives to point out the fact that in spite of war and hatred, there is a spirit of brotherhood in the world today. Dr. Eugene Farley introduced the speakers and expressed his ideas on the need for brotherhood. He said that as he returned from -his trip in the Near East a few years ago, he realized that fear is the greatest danger to the world today. Our fear of the Russians and their atom bombs and their fear of us and our atom bombs indicates that we have not gained their confidence. "Confidence," Dr. Farley staed, "is the basis of our civilization," therefore the lack of confidence in the world is a challenge to our way of life. LETTER TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) THE SPIRIT OF TRUE BROTHERHOOD was shown to everyone who attended Tuesday's assembly program as the seven foreign students, pictured above, related moving personal experiences to illustrate the true meaning of working together.

I would like to have a survey taken to ·p rove that there is a correlation between the two. I doubt sincerely if it would show that card playing is the cause for failure. An hour between classes does not provide enough time' for concentrated studying. Card playing, as it was done in the cafeteria, was sociable and a .means · of meeting new people. Friendships w e r e formed that otherwise might not have been. However, the true situation as it appears, is one of whether the college student· is mature enough to decide for himself. We all were taught in orientation that the first step in becoming a college student is to develop our own study habits. We must be able to judge for ours.e lves what is affecting our grades. The new rule implies that we are not college students but rather high school students who must be constantly supervised. We are all now being told that we are not able and should not be able to think for ourselves. We cannot judge if card playing has affected our study. I feel that the situation should be reconsidered with the fact in view that the co.llege student is m a tu r e enough and intelligent enough to know when an outside influence is disturbing his grades.

After telling a poignant story about a Jew who showed the spirit of brotherhood to the Knights of Columbus, Nasser said that since no nation is self-sufficient, one nation should seek to work in harmony with the others . . A realiza- . ,t ion of the oneness of man is needed in the world today. Henriette ;\.benmoha, a junior French major who came from Casablanca, related an incident in Morocco which let her see the need for the .b rotherhood of all. She testified of the richness which is attaineg by exchanging ideas one with another. Nick Giordano, a member of the soccer team who formerly lived in a small town south of Naples, Italy, where, he said, the Biblical commandment of brotherhood, "Love thy neighbor as thyself", is practiced. He told of an incident during the second World War where he saw Brotherhood in action . . Seth Ansah, a sophomore from the Gold Coast, stated that to him brotherhood means that "You are your brother's keeper. Seth told of Rev. Scott and Dr. .Schweitzer and others who displayed love for the Africans. Ki Hwan Lee, from Korea, who is student-teaching this semester in .the city schools, told a story which showed that there is an undercurr ent of love in man. R eddy Horbaczewski, a freshman from Poland, told a significant story of a Russi an who had been taught only hatred ·b ut the flame of love for his f ellow-man showed through and caused him to nobly sacrifice himself for the life of a Polish child. Ahmad Kazimi, a senior from Jordan, concluded the program by discussing the basic reasons for the conditions existing in the world today. To gain peace the inner life of man needs to be transformed rather than the outer life. Mr. Kazimi suggested that to create peace in the world, human dignity for all individuals should be established and all should be taught the same basic education and moral code. To the students who attended assembly, Brotherhood Week means more than a week designated to honor an abstract term because they saw what the spirit of brotherhood does for people all over the world. at ' ,\~~,i R'!r':;. - ~I rt~ 'v JOHN B.

Wilkes-.B arre, P ennsylvania Letters To The Editor: Polio Shots Through the generosity of a group of doctors in the Luzerne County Medical Society, Wilkes students will have a chance to be innoculated with the Salk polio va·ccine. In order to make this group innoculation possible, permission slips have been sent to all students. The cooperation of all students is required to facilitate acceptance of this offer. Time is an important factor. The sooner this can be done, the safer the students will be. · Therefore, we urge everyone to see that his slip is signed and returned to the Office of the Deans as soon as possible. "Open Door" Policy We have observed numerous instances in the past few months of a situation which is unnecessary and could be dangerous. At dances, assemblies, sports events and other social activities in the gymnasium, there is usually but one door open in the front of the building. In the event of a fire, riot, or panic, a crush could develop at these front exits; needless injury or even death could result · from the crush. These possibilities, while remote, are nonetheless real dangers. It would require very little effort to prevent them. Let's take the effort. We demand an "open door" policy. Congratulations Last week was a big one for the family of our printer, Mr. Stanley E. Schmidt. Early in the week, the engagement of his ~n, Ed, was announced. Ed operates the linotype machine which sets up all the stories for the Beacon. On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt celebrated the.ir 45th wedding anniversary. Saturday, a big family gathering honored Mr. Schmidt on his 67th birthday anniversary. From all their friends on the Wilkes campus, we of the Beacon extend our congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Schmidt and his family. - tim Where . . . When ...

Since response so far has not been overwhelming, he urges the classes to put forth an extra effort this coming week. The campaign is being conducted similarly to the United Fund Campaign. The class councils of each class are in charge of obtaining the .p atrons of their own class members. Each class c o u n c i 1 representative will contact a certain number of individuals to secure a patron. Since patrons cost only a dollar, the drive should improve considerably. There will be an important meeting of the Assembly Committee on Tuesday, February 26, after assembly in the gymnasium lobby. *** Hug: Energy gone to waist. Movie: Television with washrooms.

Dear Jane: Your letter in last week's Beacon is tremendously a·p preciated for I quite agree with you that college people should govern themselves so ,t hat they could have complete freedom of judgment. I am also in agreement with you that many of the people who play cards in the Dining Commons have gained a great deal of harmless and perhaps profitable enjoyment from their associations and the game. It is unfortunate that a small handful can s·p oil the pleasure of a larger group, and personally I am most sorry to have felt it necessary to ask students to refrain from card playing in the Dining Commons. Perhaps we can come to a constructive agreement, and I will very m u c h appreciate any suggestion that can be made by you and other students who feel as you do. I want to thank you for your statement in 'l ast week's Beacon for it should help to clarify an unfortunate situation that has long persisted. Very sincerely yours, EUGENE S. FARLEY President Dear Editor : Tom Kaska's letter to the Editor on the poor quality of writing which is contributed to Manuscript contains one very pertinent suggestion. Creative writing has little in common with most college courses of rhetoric and so-called composition. There is a spark, says John Ciardi, director of the Bread Loaf school, without which there may be much smoke but not clear burning flame. Some of this stems from inspiration, more of it comes from the fun of writing and the release of inhibitions and complexes which might otherwise someday flatten us on a psychiatrist's sofa, at thirtyfive dollars a flatt en. Finally, anyone who writes creatively must have something to say. The things I've sold to Coronet, Esquire and Mercury, were about ideas I just had to tell to someone. How about letting me see some of the best issues of Manuscript. I may have some suggestions. Cordially, WALDO CARLTON WRIGHT Director of Public Relations, Keystone Junior ·College FREE POLIO SHOTS ]Team Rated Supe~ior DONATED TO WILKES For Most Team Pomts; The college has been offered free shots of the Salk polio vaccine, according to a recent announcement from the Office of the Deans. In order to receive these shots, students must receive permission from their parents. Everyone is requested to return his permission form promptly, in order to facilitate scheduling of the inoculation. The donors of the vaccine are a group of doctors from the Luzerne County Medical Association. The polio vaccine is administered in three "shots". The second is to be administered four to s e v e n weeks after the initial inoculation and the third is to come about six months later. Foreign Scholarships In Several Countries Listed in Handbook T0 EIlter BOSton Event The Wilkes debaters placed second in the seventh annual invitational debate tournament of King's College in competition with twentythree east ern and southern colleges. The Wilkes team was represented by J esse Choper, John Bucholtz, Fred Roberts, and Br u c e Warshal. Jesse Choper and Bruce Warshal made an unusually fine showing for the college by placing among the top five speakers. Warshal h eld first place until the final round when he was edged out by Sue McCue of Marywood. He was first, however, in total aggregate points with 177 - a superior rating. J esse was ranked fifth. Until the last round Wilkes was tied with Georgetown, the first place winner, but Georgetown was able to defeat the Wilkes affirmative team by an 81-79 score. The affirmative won three of their four matches by beating St. Joseph's , Fordham, and Columbia. The negative team of iJucholtz and Choper were undefeated and ranked 1-2 in each of the debates. They beat King's 88 to 49; Messiah , 73-20; Marywood, 87-71; and New York School of Forestry, 75-57. This was the second tournament in which the negative team was undefeat ed, the other time being the Bucknell Tournament. Their season record now sta.nds at 22-8. Wilkes was the only team with a · superior rating and the highest aggregate of t eam points. The team had an average of 44 points per man out of a possible 50. The next tourney will be the B o s t o n Invitational Tournament. This can almost be considered as a preview of the national tournament because of the various colleges which will be represented there. Some entries are Yale, Harvard, A1my, Navy, Fordham, St. Joseph 's, Miami, Northwestern, Vermont, M.I.T., Dartmouth, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. Jesse Choper and John Bucholt z will represent Wilkes in this two-man tournament.

ORREGO-SALAS RELATES ·C C PROBLEMS OF MODERN CHILE ■ ■ by Maryan Powell "Chile Today" was the topic of an interesting and informative talk given at Tuesday's assembly by Carmen Orrego - Salas, prominent Chilean educator, social worker and lecturer. She is one of the eleven "World of Women" in H o 1 i d a y Magazine's (1954-'55) series of articles, in which the magazine chose women from round-the-world as illustrations and inspirations to women everywhere. ·C armen rOrrego-Salas is married to Juan Orrego-Salas, who is recognized as the leading contemporary compos·e r of Latin America. She has traveled widely in the United States and South America. ·She was formerly a social worker and presently she teaches English to adult classes of men and women at the Chilean North American Institute. Mrs. ,Orrego-Salas founded the first •private nursery school in Santiago patterning it upon a New York Nursery School which her son, Juan, attended. ,Mrs. Orrego-Salas told of life in Chile today. She stated that the most significant factor in Chile was the number of people who are seeking individualism. According to the speaker, each is. trying to find "his place" as an individual and a citizen of Chile. The speaker compared the educational syst em in Chile with the American syst em. The educational system of Chile is patterned after the French schools. That is, their high schools are called colleges and their colleges are termed universities. The speaker referred to the fact that Chile's army was modeled after the German army and that its navy was patterned after that of the British. According to Mrs. Orreg o-Salas, the political situation in Chile is very loose and unformed. To make this point clear, she declared, in answer to a student's question, that "there a re as man y political parties in Chile as there are people." Communism has very few follow ers and no strength in her country. At the conclusion of her speech, a question and answer period was conducted. uN ■ 3 GRANTED CHARTER • .

He has scored 103 of these in his last five games, and was instrumental in · helping the cagers continue their winning spree with his 23 ·p oints against Lycoming on Wednesday night. Far more important than his scoring ability, however, is his attitude as a team man. He )las passed off on many occasions when he could have tried difficult shots, thus depriving him s e 1 f of the -chance to "gun" for 30- or 40-point performances. In addition, George took 16 rebounds in the Lycoming game, and can always be depended upon for at least that many in any game. He has taken as many as 25 from the backboards in one contest.

Cagers Win Home Game, Play Same Team Away Next Wednesday Night t!✓..~:1: I.ti~ Bob Pdatl On Wednesday night, the Wilkes BASKETBALL CHAMPION, SAYS: cagers will again tackle the Crusaders of Susquehanna U. The game will be played at the Selinsgrove court. Coach Eddie Davis is putting the men through extensive drills in preparation for this game, despite the 93-7'2 lacing they gave the down-river lads in their visit here last Saturday night. Because they will be on their own home floor, and because they have one of the hottest cage prospects in the state, the Crusaders may give the Wilkesmen a rough time. F . h · ran k.h1e R o m a n o, h 1g -scormg ace oft e Susquehanna squad, will be given plenty of respect for his 40-point performance here in the last meeting of the two teams.

Should his teammates proyide him with any additional scoring punch, it could be a tough night for the Colonels. Morgan, Gacha Key Men in Win As usual, George Morgan led the Colonels with 25, followed closely by George Gacha, who had 20. Both had perfect nights on the foul line. Morgan hit for fifteen and Gacha netted eight. ·B etween them, they scored 45 points to offset the 40 by Romano . Dick Purnell and big Dwight Huseman kept Morgan bottled up in the lane for the most part, and held him to five field goals, but the SU PER S~ 0 0 TH ! Only Viceroy smooths each puff tremendous night he had on the through 20,000 filters made from pure cellulose-soft, snow-white, natural! free-throw line enabled George to score 25 markers and maintain his 25-point per game average. The two teams played to a stand- I off for the first ten minutes, but fast-break goals by Snyder and Sokol gave Wilkes a lead which they never relinquished. At halftime, the Colonels led by a score of 43-32. Following the intermission, the Crusaders put forth a valiant effort to get back in the .b all game, and at one point had closed the gap to 51 -4·9. George Gacha then cut loose with three straight beauties from far out to stop the threat. This was the end of the game as far as the boys from Susquehanna were concerned. From that moment on, the ·Colonels ran wild, building a lead which reached 26 points when four minutes remained in the game. •Coach Davis then ,p ut in some of the reserves who showed plenty of spirit. JV's Win Preliminary Game In the early game, the Wilkes Junior Varsity tangled with the Jayvees of Susquehanna and came out on the hea vy end of a 6-1-50 score. John Mugford scored 16 points, and Ralph Hendershot contributed 12 to the winning cause. \\VICEROY HAS THE SMOOTHEST TASTE OF ALLl 0 ! Tomorrow night at the Wilkes gym, the student body once again has a chance to get out for a bargain. Both the wrestlers and the cagers will see action, with the matmen closing their season against a strong Muhlenberg squad. To date, the grapplers have amassed a total of 243 points in dual meets, while holding their opponents to 77, in ringing up nine straight wins before being tied by Millersville STC. Leading the parade of scorers is Jim Ward with 3,6 points on three pins and seven decisions. Walt Glogowski has 34 on five falls and three decisions. Don Reynolds, also with five pins to his credit, has a total of 33. The figures for the rest of the team clearly show the power balance of the Colonels: Neil Dadurka, 28; Terry :Smith, 27; Joe Morgan, 23. Keith Williams has rn points with his perfect record of three wins and no defeats, with two falls. Dave Thomas is a 5-1 with 16 ;points, Dick Weiss is 2-1 for eight points, Bill Smith's record is also 2-1 totaling 6 points, and John Macri turned in a pin for his only appearance of the season giving him a 1-0 record worth five •p oints. Such balance speaks well for the training, coaching, and individual attitude of the team. · LET'S GO TO GETTYSBURG Several of our friend s have shown an interest in taking a trip to the Middle Atlantic tourney next month to provide moral support for the Colonels' first entry in this event. No plans have come out of the talks as yet, but we are open for suggestions and would appreciate hearing from anyone who would be in interested in journeying to Gettysburg for this purpose. The preliminary eliminations will begin on Friday, March 1 at 7 :00 P.M. The semi-finals will be held on Saturday afternoon and the championship rounds will .be Saturday n ight. If sufficient interest is shown, a "Colonel's Caravan" could .be made up. For further details, contact Bob Sutherland or this writer. The sooner, the better. ' WILKES ROOTERS OUT-CHEERED . In last Saturday's action against Susquehanna, it was interesting to observe that the relatively small crowd which followed the Crusaders to _W ilkes-Barre made more concerted noise than the home fans. True, the Colonels' rooters responded finally, but it would be nice to see more visiting teams with such enthusiastic supporters, if only to spur the home crowd into a bit more spirited cheering. "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME" The time is fas a-pproachi'ng when the crack of the bat and the cries of "play ball' will herald the start of another baseball season. To those of us who second-guess the diamond g,e niuses during the "hotstove" league, the waning days of February bring reports of major league teams making their annual hegira to the Southlands. Here at Wilk-es, we must wait a few more wee:ks before we can see diamond action, but to find evidence of the approach of the season, one need only visit the Wilkes gym any afternoon. Here he will find a few lads tossing a horsehide, working the muscles into shape and loosening the arms, Coach John R~ese, ~ardly relaxed with his mat chores, already has stated that he 1s lookmg forward to another good· year. The Colonels had a fairly good record last year, and Mr. Reese expects to be able to better that record if he gets the pitching he needs. A welcome addition to his crop of flingers will be cage star George Gacha. Geo:ge, a fresh~an and a Navy vet, has had plenty of service ,b all under his belt, and 1s known as a slugg,e r of considerable talents.

CAGERS WALLO.P LYCOMING FOR THIRD STRAIGHT VICTORY On Wednesday night, the Colonels won their ninth out of the last thirteen cage contests, downing the Lycoming Warriors, 74-53. Georg,e Morgan led the team with 23 counters, George Gacha followed with 14. The game started very slowly, with neither team able to register a score until nearly three minutes had gone by. Wilkes managed to talrn the lead on some fine floor play -b y Fran Mikolanis and timely tap-ins by Bob Turley. Both teams played a "hands-off" game for the most part, going twelv,e full minutes before George Morgan stepped to the foul line line in the first infraction of the game. Besides Morgan, only two other Colonels even got a chance to take a free throw. Gacha converted the two he tried, while Elmer Snyder sank one of his two. Both of these men shot their two fouls on single penalties, having been fouled while in the act of shooting. A rather unique offensive pattern developed in the latter portion of the second half, when George Morgan took a mid.-court pivot position to feed off in a smoothly-functioning fast break pattern. Coach Eddie Davis had his c h a r g e s running fast and hard whieh, in effect, ran the Warriors ragged. These tactics increased the Colonel lead to more than 20 points. Davis then inserted men from the bench in wholesale lots. The Warriors, behind by 34-27 at half-time, could not get a score for two and a half minutes of the second half, and found t hemselves 15 points behind after five minutes had :been played. Only the fine all-round play and timely goals by big Jim Wilson of the Warriors kept the visitors from being beaten by a larger margin. For the Colonels, it was sweet revenge for the off-night they had at Williamsport against the same team, losing that game by an 84-77 decision.

Tomorrow night's double-feature attraction at the Wilkes gym will find the gra-pplers closing out their home season and the cagers trying for their fourth consecutive win. The Student Council, in an effort to promote further interest in the · fortunes of the two teams, has designated the activities as "Booster Night". To provide further interest to what should be an exciting evening of sport, the Wilkes band will be in attendance, and the full complement of cheerleaders will .b.\.l present to lead the noise-making. This will be the t h i r d such doubl e-header of the year, and the last opportunity to see the two teams in action on the same program. Matrnen Meet Mules In the opening half of the doubleheader tomorrow night, the Wilkes-wrestling team will make its bid' for an unbeaten season. If the team comes through with a victory, . it will be the first undefeated-wres-· tling team in the history of the col-· lege, and the first undefeated athletic team at Wilkes in the past decade. Muhlenberg, however, is pointing for an upset, and they will be in top shape. They will .be led by the 177-pound MASCAC champion of the past two years, Tom Billy. In addition to looking for an undefeated season, two of the wrestlers will be out to tie or break the record for most points scored by a WC wrestler in one year. Jim Ward, undefeated this season, needs a pin to break the present record of 39 points, while Walt Glogowski needs a pin to tie it. Another undefeated wrestler, Keith Williams, will be out to keep hi s slat e clean. To strengthen the team for this very important meet, Coach John Reese has placed Glogowski at 167, Dave Thomas at 157, and Terry Smith at 14'7. Neil Dadurka will wrestle heavyweight again, where he has done a commendable job all year. The 177-pound spot will be filled by either newcomer Bob Morris or sophomore John Macri. Macri has won his only match of the year by a pin over his heavyweight opponent from Lycoming. No matter which of the two qualifies for the position, he will be in for a tough battle as the opponent at the 177-pound spot will be the undefeated Billy, who has several pins to his credit to date. The matmen, after more than a week's rest, should be in top shape, and are determined to win this final ,meet. Cagers Test Red Devils When the "rug" is rolled back and the excitement of the wrestling has died down, the basketball team · will take the floor against the Dickinson College five. The Red Devils, whose anemic 1-17 record changes their color to • a rather pale pink, won their only . game of the season from Susquehanna, strangely enough. It was their first outing of the year and they are, needless to say, hungry for a win and revenge. This is only the seeond meeting of the two teams. The first game was won by Wilkes at Dickinson, by a score of 83-58. Several local boys will be present in the Devils' lineup.

This guy has rocks in his head. For no logical reason, we are reminded of the fact that although every man may have his wife, only the ice-man has his pick.

The college girl simply asks: where is he? Incidentally, it has been sagely observed that even a girl with a negative personality can be developed in a dark room.

SENIOR CARNIVAL FEATURES DANCING, GAMES/ PRIZES I TUESDAY NIGHT FIRE ROUTS DORM MEN, "BEACON" STAFF I is �2 Friday, March 1, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE 'EACON EDITORIALS - Records Established Fate, in the form of a utility pole, conspired to hamper the efforts of "the valiant few" in preparing this issue of the Beacon for the pi:ess. The pole caught fire and caused lights to go out over most of the campus. Thus, the Beacon staff was stuck with but half a :newspaper, since we were in the midst of preparing this issue. However, through the co-operation of all, the Beacon has come shining through. For the fifth week in a row, the paP._er contains six pages - a record. This also marks the eleventh six-page issue of this school year - another record. Polio Shots Monday, the doctors of Luzerne County will be on campus to give free polio shots to the students. If you have not informed the deans of your intentions, whether or not you are going to take the shots, please do so at once. And remember: "It's better to be safe than sorry." Looking to the Future Tuesday's assembly, while quite enjoyable, pointed up the need for the college's projected Arts Building. It can't come too soon. While the gym is a very good place for athletic events and dances, it leaves quite a bit to be desired as a theater. The public address system is fine, but actors and actresses don't usually carry microphones, and acoustics in the gym are not the best for an unassisted voice. Level seating is another problem, since the arrangeme)}t does not allow those in the rear seats a very good view of the stage. . · We are looking forward, therefore, to the construction of the Arts Building, the plans of which are drawn. The land is also available. However, no definite date has been set for the start pf the building. · We only wish we could be here when the dream became~ a re~lity. -hm Where • • • When • • • Whal • • • Male Chorus Rehearsal Senior Carnival Tiine WC-Harper,. basketball Polio Inoculations CGUN Meeting Band Rehearsal Male Chorus Rehearsal Historical Society Lecture Assembly Male Chorus Rehearsal Mixed Chorus Rehearsal Mixed Chorus Concert Male Chorus Rehearsal Band Rehearsal Economics Club Meeting SAM Meeting Male Chorus Rehearsal Mixed Chorus Rehearsal Male Chorus Rehearsal Gies Hall Gym Gym Gym Warner Hall Gym Gies Hall 69 S.

An extemporaneous s p e a k i n g contest in which Choper will '!)articipate will also be held during this tournament. Choper's record at the present time is 14-4. This tournament might be termed a selective tournament since it is a preview to the West Point Tournament where approximately one-half of the teams from the Boston Tournament appear to vie for the National Championship. Some schools represented are Yale, Northwestern, Miami, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Princeton, M.I.T., Dartmouth, Notre Dam ton, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, Navy, Army, and M.I.T. Although Wilkes has had a fine record in the past, this particular event has eluded .them. Dr. Kruger will accompany the team and act as a judge for debates other than those which Wilkes will participate in.

The Council has already sent out one hundred and eight letters to the Wyoming Valley Council of Churches urging their help . In Tuesday's Assembly, Gordon Roberts, an officer in the organization, asked Wilkes students to donate any books they may not be using. The type of books request ed are all coll ege-level textbooks published s ince 1945, including the humaniti es such as sociology, English, and psychology, as well as any books by standard authors such as Hawthorne, Hemingway, and Shakespeare. Mrs. NadaVujica and Miss Millie Gittins have announced that the library and the bookstore, respectively, will collaborat e with the CGUN on this project. ,B oxes will be placed in the bookstore, in the library, and in all dormitories.

The affair, which will be held Saturday, May 4 in the America Legion (-Post 132) home, will provide the class members with an opportunity to meet off campus. The theme will center about the t en- year growth of Wilkes as a four-year college, since the junior class will be the tenth graduating class from Wilkes. Bob Scally, general chairman of the event, announced that the affair will be open only to those with invitations, which will be sent to the faculty ,class members, and the presidents of the other classes. Tickets are only $1.·00 per person, $1.50 a couple, and these include either a lobster tail or turkey dinner. All girls present will receive flowers.

The 13'0pound grappler was deprived of a chance to show his mat superiority, when the Muhlenberg squad forfeited their 130-pound ,b out in last Saturday night's action. The five points credited to Jim for that default brought his season's total points to 41, to brea:k the record of 39 held formerly by Bob Masonis. · More important than this point figure,. however, is the fact that Jim is the first wrestler in the history of the sport at Wilkes to go through an entire seasori, wrestling in every meet, without a defeat. His record now stands at three pins, seven decisions, and the one forfeit. Coach John Reese is counting hel!-vily on Jim to help the Colonels in their first entry intq, the Middle Atlantic States tournament being held tonight and tomorrow at Gettysburg. The ex-Navy man is an old hand at tournament wrestling, hav.i ng held s.e veral service titles. His speed, s t a m i n a, and endurance s:\l,ould serve him well in the tourney as it has throughout the successful campaign he led for the Colonels.

The five-foot-ten guardian of the back-court proved to be a most valuable man in the Dickinson cont est . His timely set shots enabled a faltering squad to pull itself together and take command of the game. His ten field goals accounted for 20 of the team's 78 points, and were instrumental in bringing home the 10th win of the season for the Colonels. With the exception of a couple driving lay-up shots, all of Eddie's counters came on hi s patented "rainbow" t ype set shots from beyond 30 f eet. In the overtime period of Saturday's near-disaster, Ed dropped one of these arching beauties to give the Wilkesmen a 66-64 lead. From that moment on, the Colonels' attack went unchecked. Never known as a high scorer for Wilkes, Ed does hold one of the best field goal percentages on the t eam. He leads his mates \vith an average of better than 75 per cent completion of tries from the field.

The former record for an individual basketball player was held by Len Batroney. In the 1952-53 season, Len hit for . 471 points. In their home finale against Hari,ur at the WHkes gym, the Davismen teamed up with Morgan to register the season's highest score. The goal by Morgan that put the ,Colonels at the century mark for the second time this year was the goal that eclipsed Batroney's rec,ord. Morgan connected for a total of 41 ,p oints in that contest, bringing his season's mark up to 47!) points with one more game left on the Blue and Gold schedule. George scored four more goals after the basket that made him the new scoring champ. Then Coach Eddie Davis took him out of the :game with only seconds remaining for a well deserved, standing ovation py the happy home fans. Morgan's work on the hardwood <:ourt has been superlative all year. The six-foot-four junior has been a defensive power for Wilkes as well. He averages around 16 rebounds per game, and is constantly in the fight for a loose ball. In the listings of the Official Service Bureau of the National Coll egiate Athletic Association, George rates tenth in the nation in fi eld goal percentage with a healthy 54.1 ,p er cent. These figures were released on February 23, which means that he may well be ranked higher by this date. Also listed were the top twenty scorers in the country. At the t ime of the release, Morgan's 3,76 points were good enough to rate him ninth in the nation in that department. Following his 41-point performance, the final statistics released by YEARBOOK STAFF SEEKS STUDENT AID by Toni Scurernan 'l'his year the editors of the Amnicola are hoping to p u b 1 i s h a memorable yearbook.

Every year the yearbook has had patrons who ha ve contributed $1.00 e ach. This year, however, they are stepping up the campaign because of the more pressing need. The class councils have agreed to help the staff in soliciting gunds. Each class council has a tentative quota of $100 which will be m et by contributions of the members of the respective class. The name of each patron will be printed at the back of the yearbook. Neil Dadurka, director of the campaign, urges the students to cooperate. Each contribution will help to achieve an improved Arnnicola, BREAKS RECORD Nip Second Place Mules By Margin of 2 Points In Gettysburg Tourney by Dick Myers, Sports Editor The Wilkes College wrestlers lived up to their pre-tourney status as favorites and came out on top of the heap at Gettysburg College last Saturday night. Although the Colonels could not produce an individu~ champion, they piled up points in the early rounds, placed six of their eight entrants in the running for the first three places, then hung on to capture the team trophy. Four of these men were in the finals. At 123 pounds, Keith Williams dropped a heart-breaking, double-overtime decision to Tom Carlson of Lafayette. In the semi-finals, "Skeet" pulled a major upset in defeating Art McCall of Temple in one of the most thrilling bouts of the day. McCall was top-seeded _in the 1_23pound class, but Williams executed a take-down m the first period and allowed only a neutral for the rest of the bout. WINNING COACH George Morgan the Bureau will probably continue to show him well up among the individual leaders in national small college basketball. George is seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce and Finance here at Wilkes, majoring in Business Administration. The 21 -year old Plymouth native, like his coach, Eddie Davis, is a g raduate of Plymouth High School, and was an outstanding • player there, having been named to the Wyoming Va 11 e y All~Conference basketball team.

Wilkes. The fine representation ~f Wilkes fans saw another of their heroes fall in the second match of the finals. In the 130-pound class, Jim W a r d, after trimming two-time winner of the Middle Atlantic 130pound crown, Bob Wamsley of Gettysburg, met John Orr of Drexel. Jim had been leading all the way in the bout, and with less than one m i n u t e remaining in the third period, got Orr in a pin hold. Suddenly, the tide turned, Orr reversed the hold and Jim was trapped. With only 21 seconds remaining in the bout, the referee's hand came down and Jim was pinned. Don Reynolds put up a gallant fight in the 1'3 7-pound division, but in a tie match with a minute remaining, Don was .b ehind in riding time and went for the take-down. Again the Colonels' hopes were reversed as Don himself was taken down with less than 3·0 seconds remaining. The two points thus gave Dick Padula enough to take the bout by a 5-3 count.

The book is supported by the extra-curricular activities fund and its advertisers, but the cost of publication for the type of book is high and the budget set by the Student Council has been exceeded at this point. Therefore, since the book is for the students, the staff of the Amnicola is asking the students to be patrons of the yearbook. The cost is low, only a dollar, so let's all get in the act. P. S. - It will also put your name in the book one more time. What's in a Name? The Test Tube Trot. The Formaldehyde Frolic. The Sliderule Swing. And so forth, ad nauseum. Wilkes organizations seem to prefer this type of nomenclature for their dances. We print the titles, but so far have refrained from commenting on the situation. And now, we are saved the effort, since the Utica College Tangerine, in a column titled The Campus Beat, beat us to the punch. The item read: "Wilkes College is holding The Formaldehyde Frolic, sponsored by the Biological Society. It will be a square dance in every respect." To which we can only add: Amen! The Power of Positive Thinking It seems that nearly every student government body in intercollegiate circles is struggling with the problem of "school spirit". Here at Wilkes, the problem received considerable attention during the past semester. . Thanks to the backing of the Student Council and the able leadership of committee chairman Dave Vann, the Wilkes School Spirit Committee performed admirably. The group gave the college some of the finest pep rallies seen here in the past five years. At Utica College, also in an issue of the Tangerine, we learned that the Student Senate recently named an Apathy Committee. One would think that such a group would be at a disadvantage to start. We would suggest a more positive approach, beginning with a new and more forward-looking title. -tim STUDENTS RECEIVE POLIO INOCULATION before the doctors who efficiently injected the precious serum.

In the Harpur gam e, about the only cause for excitement was the breaking of the Wilkes individual season's scoring record. George Morgan dropped in 41 points to crack the mark form erly held by Len Batroney. George now has 479 points, eight more than Batroney's 1952-53 effort. Sokol scored 16 points and Turley hit for 15 in ringing up the 109-60 rout. Tomorrow night's road performance will .be the final game for the Colonels, who have accomplished their goal of turning in a winning season. Their record is now eleven wins and eight losses. Most of the losses were close affairs, with a couple of extra-period games, so th e record is deceptive.

"We feel the best way to sell is to be able to consult. The best way to consult is to know something of value your customer doesn't. IBM's 'some• thing of value' is profit through automation.'' Gene's thoughts on competition: "The entire Office Machine Industry feels the lead pencil is the biggest competitor. You've no idea how many time-consuming clerical jobs can be mechanized, thus freeing people for important, creative jobs. IBM's success in the field is due to service, knowledge, 'know-how'." Does Gene find his youth a handicap? "It's what you know-not how old you are-that counts.

Meanwhile, the Wilkes novice team of Armand Caruso and Gwen Evans fared better at the annual Scranton Novice Tournament, winning all three of its debates and taking home the beautiful first ,p lace Noel Chaba:nel Trophy. In what is considered to be the toughest debate tourney in the country outside of the National Tournament at West Point, the Bucholtz-Choper duo defeated Harvard, Yale, and Brandeis, while dropping close decisions to Bowdoin, -St. Anselm's, and Vermont. Vermont, winner of the District VII Tournament last year and a quarter-finalist in the West Point Nationals, gained sweet revenge in decisioning Wilkes, the only team to .beat them in both the Boston and Harvard tournaments last year~ Vermont managed to edge Wilkes by t he scant margin of two points out of a possible sixty. The Wilkes team placed seventh in a field of 28 and received a Certificate of Merit for its efforts at Boston.

Before the meeting terminated, two m embers, Larry Amdur resigned a chairmanship and Les Weiner resigned from his elected position as .p arliamentarian. Larry Amdur's decision to resign as Chairman of the Constitution Committee was not wholly unexpected. Amdur explained to the Council that personal obligations, such as outside work, make it impossible for him to continue serving his chairmanship efficiently. L es Weiner's resignation, however, was tot a 11 y unexpected. Weiner withdrew from his office as parliamentarian since he felt that parliamentary procedure was being violated. At previous meetings, the Council voted not to engage singer Steve Lawrence for the forthcoming Cinderella Ball. However, Larry Amdur challenged the decision by recalling the issue to the floor for a re-vote. This resulted in Weiner's action, since the balloting was tied and Don Reynolds, Council president, cast the deciding vote against bringing the issue to the floor. In a statement to the Beacon, Weiner said, "The issue of having Steve Lawrence sing at the Cinderella Ball has brought before the Council a problem in parliamentary procedure. "'U~ until this issue was .brought before the Council, it was my opinion that the Student Council was being run a<:cording to Roberts Rules of Orders, Revised, which it was my duty to enforce. " The Coun cil has, in my opinion, refused to follow these rules on this issue; and therefore, I submitted my resignation to protest this unprecedented action." The Council voted to reimburse promoter Len Brader for the expenses he incurred while obtaining Steve Lawrence for the Ball. Jim Stevens, engineering student, represented the engineers and stated that the latter department do es not want to .b e listed with the seniors in their sophomore year.

The new election will take place next Tuesday from twelve until three o'clock in the cafeteria, and t he voting will be supervisedthat is, a Beacon member will furnish ballots to each person as he votes, and will use a student roster to prevent any "honest" student from voting twice. Lynn Boyl e, a pert blue-eyed blonde, comes to W i 1 k e s from Kingston High School where she was active in dramatics, athletics, and the school publications. Although she is only a freshman at the coll ege, she is active in Theta Delta Rho and the college band. Mary Homan, a suave, brownhaired lass who resides at McClintock Hall is aJso one of the proud possessions of the freshman class. A Medical Technology stud en t, Mary is a representative on the S t u d e n t ,Council, the Freshman Class Council, and Theta Delta Rho. Nancy Frey, another blonde, blue-eyed bea,u ty on campus, is the only upperclassman in the trio. Nancy, who is an English major, is active in the college sorority, Th eta Delta Rho, a nd modeled in the sorority's spring fashion show last year. She was graduated from G.A.R. High School where she was a drum majorette and newspaper editor. Although the Beacon has mentioned this fact many times before, we feel that the importance of this warrants repetition-this is not a popularity contest. Students a1:e urged to judge students on the basis of imagination, use of accessories, personal grooming, and just plain "common sense." We think we have one of "the" well-dressed women on ca,mpus, and we hope that the students have the interest to help us prove it. SOFTBALL LEAGUE SEEKING ENTRIES John Reese, Director of Intramural Sports, has announced that all persons interested in playing softball should begin to assemble their teams. Team captains will be required to present their squad rosters to Mr. Reese as soon as they a,r e able, in order that schedules may be drawn up. Th ere are no requirements fo,r entrance into the softball leagues except having enough players to field a t eam. Anyone who is interested in acting as an umpire is urged to contact Mr. Re ese at once. When all teams have .been made up and rosters submitted, a m eeting of team captains will be announced. At this meeting, schedul es will be a,rranged, student officials and directors will be ap,p ointed, and rules governing the conduct of the games will be explained. FOOTBALL PLAYERS Voting for co-ca·p tains and the Joseph G. Gallagher award will take place all day Monday in Mr. Picton's office, third floor, Chase Hall. Be sure to vote! �Friday, March 15, 1957 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS - Three One-Act Plays Cast EDITORIAL-- Orchids The fine work of six biology majors in preparing research papers for the Eastern Colleges Science Conference, being held this weekend, will again put Wilkes in the academic spotlight. Four of the papers were prepared as by-products of the research project being conducted in the college's Biological Research Laboratory. Dr. Sheldon Cohen supervises the laboratory. This is another example of the fine work being done by the science students of the campus and should be a sign of future achievements which will come when the completion of the Stark Science Building improves the facilities of the science departments. Our congratulations to Les Weiner, Jerry Stein, Vince Drapiewski, Sam Mines, George Weaver and Sam Puma. *** * * Manners and Parking While our athletic teams have made favorable impressions with their good manners and fair play at home and away, the rest of the students have been quite lax here at home. One has but to park one's car in the student parking lot at South Franklin and South Streets to find this out. Through common courtesy one would expect a person blocking another car in to leave the key in the cor. This is unusually done. However, it would also be nice if those who take cars out of the lot would put the cars they move back in proper places. We do not mean that each car should be put back in the same spot from which it came, but that they be returned to the lot so that anyone wanting to repeat he procedure may do so without a major feat of engineering. It all boils down to the Biblical philosophy: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ***** Ah-h-h Spring!

Notre Dame Scholastic �Friday, March 15, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON. 5 Tattoo's Top First Round Keglets MORGAN NAMED ATHLETE OF WEEK, Rosie's Crew Checks Checkmates By 41 Pins; Perog and Schecter RECEIVES AWARD FOR TH.IRD TIME Make Bid for All-Events Crown Hits 514 Point Total, Leads Team to Finest Performance in Years George Morgan, th e Colonels' high-scoring champion, was selected the Beacon's Athlete of the Week ofr the third . time this year. In the final game for the Wilkes cagers at Stroudsburg last w eek , George hit for a remarkable 14 out of 18 tries from the field in rolling up 32 points. The night's work brought the prolific scorer's season total to 514 points, th e highest ever recorded by a Wilkes basketball player. Proving that this mark is no acciden:,t, due to the "saturation" type of scoring employed by some of the nation's I ea d in g pointmakers, George has hit for a percentage of nearly six completions of every ten attempts. His final record shows that his shots were completed no less ,t han 57 per cent of the time, a mark that will probably stand for some time. George has been the leading scorer for the Davismen all season. He has b een a constant team player as well, and has been a defensive standout in every g ame. The six-foot-four junior has managed .to take away 20 rebounds on several occasions, and can be counted on for at least 15 or 16 every g ame. His height is an obvious advantage for these duties, but Morgan goes b eyond that.' He combines a keen sense of timing with plenty of natural grace and ability in order ,t o salvage two-pointers from what might well become goals for the other team. George is the first man to be honored with the title of "Athlete of the Week" ,t hree times in one year since the great Jim Ferris turned the trick two years ago. The 21-year-old . Business Administration major will b e returning to the cage wars next season, and with the veteran squad he will have helping him, he may pose a threat to his own scoring record. With the last publication of the National Collegiate Athletic Bu- r eau's statistical report, the stel~ar center was listed ninth among small colleges in the nation in points scored, and · tenth in the nation in average. Since that r eport was published, he probably h a s advanced in both departments, making him a good candidate for "Little All-American" honors. The Sports staff of the Beacon wishes to extend him their h eartiest congratulations on a job well done.

Banquet SPORTS SPURTS by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor Pity the poor Student Directors. They never get any thanks, never any pay, and never any co-operation. Last Sunday night's second-round team championship event in Intramural Bowling provides dismal proof of this fact. Three teams remained to vie for the trophies available. Two men, out of fifteen entrants showed up. These m en had hope~ of qualifying for one of the awards, one had even traveled in from Dallas just to bowl. Imagine their disgust and dismay when they were deprived of their right to compete for the honors just because of plain thoughtlessness. If these two men were disappointed, imagine how bad the League officials felt. They were forced to t ell the manager of the JCC alleys that they would have to cancel their claim to the lanes for that evening. The chain of chagrin stretched on. The manager had turned down a couple of teams who wanted to use the alleys, because he had been assured that the Wilkes students would be using them. Therefore, he lost money and good will. Naturally, this didn't cause him a large amount of joy. Then the matter was brought to the attention of Mr. Reese, faculty Director of Intramural sports. MYe rs Again, disappointment touched another base. A letter of apology was composed, signed by Mr. Reese, then sent to the officials of the JGC. It is hoped that this action will help to smooth matters and enable us to continue to bowl at the JOC alleys. Such a course, however, should not have been necessary. We are in an institution of higher learning, in which we are supposed to be learning how to get along with people. We are college students, supposedly interested .in community harmony and mutual co-operation. We are desirous of being treated as adults; but our actions in this matter belie all -of the above statements. Elsewhere on these .pages is a list of all the two-man t eams who will compete for the Male Doubles Handicap Bowling trophies. The time, place, and date are listed. There should be no confusion, no excuse for any of these peo,p le to be absent. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind, he need only get in touch with Jane Keibel or this writer, immediately, to ·g et straightened out on the matter. The trophies have already been ordered. There could have been no way to purchase these items without knowing how much money would be collected in trophy fees. The entrance fe e was set at 75 cents for all three events, and the total number of entrants pledged was multiplied by that figure, and the total cost of the awards was thus determined. The Directors are now committed to produce that amount, since the trophies are already in transit. If the people who have agreed to enter the tourney do not attend and pay their fee, there will be a discrepancy which will have to be met out of the pockets of the Director. To avoid this, it has been ruled that any person whose name is on the, roster fails to put in an appearance, he will still be required to pay the fee. It is only fair.

The teams will be limited to fifteen members. The games will be played in Kirby Park. Reese has also called for volunteers to act as student directors of the league. The duties of these individuals will be to keep the statistics, make up the schedules, and supervise the organization a n d conduct of the league. Umpires will be needed, too. No experience is necessary for any of these duties, and anyone who has a desire to help in the officiating of the games is urged to contact Mr. Reese immediately. As soon as the rosters have been submitted, a meeting of the team captains will be called, for the purpose of clarifying the rules and regulations under which the games will be played. Team rosters may be submitted to Mr. Reese in the gymnasium office, or to the Beacon Sports Editor. Coach Jack Curtis has been drilling the 1957 Colonels' golf team d u r i n g the past week in preparation for the second year of intercollegiate competition at the college. The team faces a six-match schedule, including the annual Middle Atlantic tournament to be held at Mount Union, Pa., American Legion Country Club, May 10-11. Several experienced men have reported for ,p ractice, and Curtis has stated that there is still plenty of room for other men on the squad. The team opened their pre-season drills at Kirby Park, using only the seven-, eight-, and nine-irons, and wedges to iron out the rough spots. In an effo rt to avoid bad habits and poor p ractices, the coach will have his eyes on the men as they use the practice t ees. He hopes to be able to spot potential flaws in this manner, and nip them in the bud. These hitting drills will be held until the weather permits full-time use of the home course Chuck Robbins at the !rem Temple Country Club. The first match of the season will be held at the Scranton University home course in a three-way match between the Colonels, Hofstra, and Scranton on April 26. Other matches with Lycoming, Moravian, and a return match with Scranton are scheduled for May. �6 Friday, March 22, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON FUTURE ELEMENT ARY TEACHERS INTERVIEWED THE KERNEL'S KORN by Dick Myers A lot of talk is circulating ·a bout the increasingly high cost of living. It seems to get worse all the time. Stea:k hasn't been so high since the cow jumped over the moon. A good steak costs more than three dollars now, and usually isn't very ,g ood, anyhow. That's what you call spending a lot of ·money on a bum steer. Doesn't do any good to beef about it, though. Reminds me of the baloneymaker who retired after 30 years. Think of it, she spent three decades try·.ing to make ends meat. Never sausage ambition. All she asks ,n ow is that people liver alone. She .lived right over the butcher sh<>i); every morning she went from bed t o wurst. She made liverwurst, iblutwurst, ·knockwurst; nothing .but the best of the wurst. The sign in her shop window proclaimed that if her meats were any fresher, they'd be •indecent. She had a young boy clerking for her for a while. He didn't complain when she had him place the bottles on the shelves, he didn't squawk when she made him set the boxes on counter displays, but he quit when she told him to lay the eggs in the window. .She fired her next helper when he ·b acked into the meat-grinder. She never liked her help to get a little behind in their work. F o o d prices are really bad, though. You go into a market these days to buy a bottle of prune juice, and it cleans you out. Even cakes and bread require a lot of dough. Things won't get any batter. When sh<>i)ping, you really have to know· your do's and donuts. If you're s m a r t, though, you'll come through with fl ying crullers. Then there's the tale about the lad who was fired from his jo.b in the lollipop factory. All he had to do was cut the candy slabs into small chuillks, but it seems he could never give a sucker an even break. JOE OLIVER SWITCHES [BLAKER IS AWARDED POLITICAL ALIGNMENT THI Rn FELLOWSHIP Joe ·Oliver, senior political science major, has switched parties. Joe, once a staunch Democrat (he :took off his Stevenson .button two weeks ago), is running for the •office of Burgess in Tunkhannock ,on the Republican ticket. An active and outspoken advo•cate of Adlai Stevenson in last fall's election, Joe's •political realignment comes as a great shock to many campus politicians. On campus, the 27-year-old veteran has been quite active in the affairs of Cue 'n' Curtain and the International Relations Club. He served for four years in the Air Force before coming to Wilkes and expects to receive his degree next February. Joe is known as a hard worker for any pro j e c t that he sup·ports and the Beacon h<>i)es that the hard work he puts into his campaign brings him success. ANALYSIS OF A WOMAN Symbol . ..

In emphasizing the gravity of the mental health problem, Mr. Oliver pointed out that seven thousand Pennsylvanians can expect to be admitted to mental hospitals as patients in 1957.

FUND DIRECTOR SAYS DRIVE NE ARS GOAL PROGRAM OFFERED BY GIRLS' CHORUS The college Chemistry Club will sponsor a ·s quare and round dance, the Spring Swing, tonight from nine to twelve o'clock in the gym. It has been an annual tradition with the club to sponsor a spring square dance for the past several years. Harry Wilkie, pop u 1 a r caller throughout the Valley, will make a return appearance to the campus. Wilkie has ·played a prominent role in the success of square dances sponsored by several Wilkes organizations in the past. Natalie Gripp, club president, has announced that the Sharpe Trio will provide both modern and country style music, with r ecords to provide dancing during intermission. This will be the second social function sponsored by the club this year. Early in the first semester, a modern dance was offered to the students at the college. Fr.om all indications, ,t onight's dance ipromises to be even b etter than the highly successful dance last semest er. Leslie Barstow, chairman of the refreshm ent committee, h a s announced that a large variety of soft drinks will be available for tho se who may be slightly overheated from the more strenuous square dances. The following committees have been working hard to make the affair a large success: publidty, Raye Thomas and Pat Levandowski; tic'kets, Carole Lowcavage; decorations, Sal Valenti; chaperones, Mary Mattey. I I Constitution Committee Lists Recommendations On Campus Government The Student Council Constitution Study Committee met last Tuesday evening to discuss revising of the ,p resent college constitution. The revisions were discussed on a tentative basis and are subject to further ratification. Les Weiner, former council parliamentarian, was in charge of .t he meeting. Four committee members were present. A proposal was made to initiate a Court of Appeal s at the college as well as to form an Advisory Council consisting of students, administration and faculty members. Recall of Student Council officials was also considered in cases where class r epresentatives show inefficiency and / or disinterest . Vo t i n g procedures were also treat ed at the meeting. One of the main issues concerned the class with which off-semester students would vote. Delaying freshman elections was another problem considered. The council also decided to include a clause in the constitution .p roviding for presidential appointment of a 'Praliamentarian. The number of students necessary to petition will also be revised. Tentatively the size of a quorum was changed from eight to ten, and a change of the number of class representatives was also considered, �---,-----------------------------------------------------------------EDITORIALS 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON An Unbroken Promise It couldn't go on indefinitely. Contrary to the opm1on expressed by many campus sages, there are some speakers who know when to stop. This was proved at 11 :32 on Tuesday morning, April 2, 1957, in the Wilkes gymnasium. Mr. Robert Oliver, Central Area Director of Pennsylvania Mental Health, Inc., was the speaker who shocked the estimated 650 students in attendance at assembly, not only with his startling facts and figures on mental health, but also his consideration for theirs. The speaker promised to deliver his talk straight from the shoulder, with no excess padding. He did so. This honest, straight-forward delivery earns Mr. Oliver a Beacon salute, on behalf of all the students of Wilkes. We wish that some of the other "outside" speakers would adopt his "Stand up; speak up; shut up" technique.

Next year's staff will not come out of the air, however, The positions will be awarded to those who have contributed their efforts in putting out this year's paper. That's the proper procedure as we see it. Every year graduation ta~es its toll and new faces and new hands must be found to replace those who leave. Empty chairs ' have to be filled. But it's not just filled chairs that produce newspapers, but chairs filled by those who have the ability. Willing, capable workers are always needed and welcome in the college newspaper office. Journalism cannot be learned in a day. Moreover, it cannot be learned without work. To those of our fearless readers who have continued reading after coming across that terrible word, we say: why not give it a try, I if you're still interested? Next year at this time, when applications are being made ' for top positions on the newspaper staff, you may be one of those chosen. You can't start at the top, but in a year or two you can be there. Start going up - NOW! Philosophical Note In case any of our campus philosophers have an aversion to reading ads in the Beacon, we take this opportunity to point out that one of our advertisers, the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, is offering $50 to the author of any philosophical verse which is accepted in their Chester Field competition. This strikes us as an excellent chance for the more materialistic type of philosopher (abounding on campus) to lift himself out of his grubby, money-craving rut. And there's no stigma of work attached. -tim EDITORS, BUSINESS STAFF SOUGHT FOR '57-58 'BEACON' Letters of application for positions on next year's Beacon executive staff are now being accepted from students interested in such positions.

ASK ABOUT OUR COLLEGE CLUB �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 5, 1957 COLONELS DROP FIRST GAME, HANDICAP BOWLING TOURNEY ENDS; OPEN HOME STAY TOMORROW Coach John Reese's worst fears were realized on Wednesday evening when his team went down to a stunning 13-4 defeat in a darkness-shortened five-inning contest at Moravian . In the first inning, third-sacker Bob Sokol was safely ,p erched on first base thanks to a Moravian error. Freshman Ralph Hendershot, in his first at-bat in his college career, whacked a home run that sent Wilkes into a short-lived 2-0 lead. The Greyhounds took advantage of the shaky Wilkes pitching corps, waiting Eddie •B irnbaum out for twelve bases on balls, and collecting a grand total of t en hits. They scored six big runs in the first inning, three in the second, two in the third, then finished their scoring in a big fourth inning attack. In that frame, Greyhound catcher George Hollendersky hit a triple with the sacks loaded. A R. WEINSTEIN, TREMAYNE CHAMPS three-run h om er by left-fielder Tonv Matz completed the tallies for the Bethlehem nine. Hollendersky had a perfect day at the plate, getting three safeties in three at-bats. For the Colonels, first baseman Mike Dydo and Sokol each contributed two hits to .the Wilkes total of six. Freshman "Porky" Hoats, in the brief appearance he made, showed poise and style and promises to be a great help to the hurling woes of Coach Reese. Ron Rescigno, at his shortstop position for the third straight year, played his usual fine game in the infield and contributed a hit to the Colonels' attacik.

Two men on campus so far have expressed. a willingness to represent Wilkes in these events. They are Bill Tremayne, Intramural AllEvents Handicap Champion; and Pete P erog, member of the First-place Rose Tattoo's of the Handicap Tournament and of the Mixed Masters, champs of the Fall term league. These men would li,ke to hear from any other interested parties. The tourney will hold elimination rounds on May 4 and 5. Sixteen men will qualify to enter the semi-finals. The eight. "'.'inn ers will then meet in head-to-head compet1t10n, bowling under the Peterson point system. The school of the winning bowler will receive the beautiful 22-inch V. Loria Collegiate Trophy, which becomes permanent if won three years in succession. The winning bowler will receive a smaller replica of the trophy for permanent possession, in addition to a gold medal. Speaking of bowling tournaments, the Intramural bowling has come to an abrupt end, with still four or five weeks left in the term. A few individuals have expressed a desire to get in a little more competitive bowling before the summer vacation Myers begins. Due to the limited time remaining, any bowling will have to be started immediately. A tournament could be run on the same basis a s the Easterns m entioned above, with the top man being declared the Wilkes College champion bowler. Depending on the number of bowlers, an entrance fee could be set to purchase trophies for the winners and runners-up. Anyone ready to do a little more bowling this year, contact this writer before next Wednesday. THE SILENT SPORT If it's good enough for the Sports pages of the New York Times, it should be worthy mention in the WHkes Beacon. The "it" in this case being chess. With considera,ble interest being shown in the endless games observed on campus, perhaps a tournament in this less strenuous sport would appeal to the m embers of the student body. Several of the players have mentioned such a proposal from time to time, and we feel that perhaps some action can be initiated if the matter is given a bit of publicity. Failing in this goal, it may be possible for the devotees of "moody ❖ (continued from page 4) the inexperienced m e n on the squad. . The announcement that the men will soon be working out on the !rem greens should heighen interest in the pre-season activities, since it means that the men will be able to get some real e~perience with intra-squad competition. The rules under which meets will be held show that the old best-ball partner system will be abolished this year. Instead, the six team members will tee off in order of their placement in qualifying eliminations, u n d er individual match play rules. There will be one point for the first nine holes, one point for the second nine, and one point for all 18 holes. The possible score , therefore, will be 18 points per contest. Coach Curtis is still looking for team members. Anyone interested in t rying out for the team may see Mr. Curtis in his office on the third floor of Chase Hall, or may contact any member of the t eam.

Perhaps the Administration can show us an example of how high standards can be bought, but we doubt it. On the other hand, the second reason cited was "to maintain the faculty". There may be quite a bit of necessity here. College faculties have been notorious for their low salaries and Wilkes is no exception.

The Colonel golfers, hoping for a break in the weather, have spent most of the week practicing indoors at the gym. The grounds at the Irem course are still unplayable as a result of the heavy snow- and. rain-fall of the previous week. The move to s h e 1 t e r was p-r ompted by the realization that there is little time remaining for the opening match on April 26 at Scranton. This is a triple event between Scranton, Hofstra and the Colonels. The weather has delayed the team so much in their outdoor drills that the warm, dry confines of the gym seemed to be the best solution to the problem. The team has not yet elected a captain, however team spokesman Sam Dilcer reports- that the group is beginning to show some promise, but can use more players.

At least one person has seen fit to enter a protest with the Beacon concerning the proposed tuition increase, although there has been much comment about it on campus, nearly all against it. While we can appreciate the position of the Administration to some extent, we cannot be said to be very strongly in favor of the proposal. The average student, as well as the family man, is faced with tightly strained budgets. Most student incomes are from unskilled jobs, where pay scales are lagging behind the cost of living. That is, lagging even further than those of college faculty members. The squeeze is on. The main bone of contention among the students is the 22 % increase in tuition fees in the last two years. That's a big jump; then to increase it to · a total of 44 % over the four-year period is really piling it on. Granted that an education at Wilkes was the biggest bargain in education (up until two years ago), today the situation is somewhat different. Many students want to know just how different it is. We suggest that the Administration present the facts to the students - all the fa-cts. How can an intelligent decision be reached any other way? If the students had facts and figures on salaries of department heads, instructors and other members of the faculties of Wilkes and comparable, ·small, independent liberal arts colleges, along with their tuition rates, a fair and satisfactory decision should · be reached.

Onufer The date for the mailing of the R.S.V.P.'s to the Junior Class dinner-dance has been extended. The invitation committee, headed by Rita Matiskella, decided that this was necessary because many of the class members overlooked their invitations during the East er vacation. The committee rescheduled the deadline for five P .M. today. The R.S.V.P.'s should be placed in Dave Vann's mailbox . Dave also m en,t ioned that anyone making a reservation and failing to use it will be r equired to pay the full price of the dinner. That is the price which it costs rather than only the sum which the individual member pays. Class members failing to make reservations for the dinner can still attend the dance which will follow. This begins at eight P.M. and an invitation is not necessary for admittance. Rita also requested that class members planning to attend with more than one couple should specify so by placing a list in Vann's mailbox so that suitable seating arrangements can be made. The affair will be held Friday evening, May 3 in the American Legion Home (Post 132) on North River Street. Flowers will be given to all girls who attend.

In addition to supplying background information, th e proprietor also had to ,t ak e a count of the spaces still a vailable on his lot, every hour during the day. Survey stud ents were also required to take "s·pot checks" of these parking lots, which would act as a double check, to be u sed later for tabulation. Forms from the business firm phase are still being r eturned. The survey group r eported that of th e total, only a small percentage of fi r ms refused to co-operate. However, due to the seasonal aspect, many firms misplaced or lost the forms . These were replaced with n ew ones. Wilkes College statistics classes a re now tabulating the information rec eived from the bus transportation ·pha.se of th e survey. Their work is under the sup ervision of Dr . Samuel Ro senberg. They are tab ulating s u c h information as days traveled, hours , or igin of t r ip, classification , reason s for t rip, and other facts . At present the survey group is coll ectin g backgro und ma.terial and other pertinent facts, which will be combined into a booklet to assist t he -co mmittee in the final tabulation. lllil 111111111111111111 ii 1111111 ililll llll ll II ll SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for WILKES DANCES at ,. 1~ ~ ,l-d fOHN B.

WASHINGTON ST, BAUM'S �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, May 3, 1957 BIRNBAUM IS ''ATHLETE OF WEEK'' HENDERSHOT, GACHA HONORED IN TARDY 'ATHLETE' AWARDS FOR SPARKLING SIX-HIT PITCHING Ed Struck Out Seven· ' Walked Three Batters In Win Over Warriors Eddie !Birnba.u m was awarded this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" title. Moving up from last year's role as relief pitcher, the 21-year-old junior is now the Colonels' number one starting pitcher. Last Saturday, against the Lycoming Warriors, Eddie pitched the first full nine-inning game recorded by a Wilkes pitcher this season, scattering six singles throughout the contest to record his second win. The stocky left-·h ander had himself a busy day at the plate, in addition to his stint on the mound. He had two hits in four times at bat, scored a run, and had a run batted in. On the hill, Eddie was in trouble in the fourth and eighth innings, but came out of both jams. fo the final sta,ges of the game, Eddie called on his hidden reserves and uncorked a hopping fast ball that had the Warriors guessing and swinging badly. He allowed six hits, but only in the fourth inning did the visitors get more than one. He walked three men, struck out seven, and left only three men on base. It was a ,good day's work for the southpaw hurler, who has played courageous ball all season; but most satisfying is the fact that in turning in his nine-inning sixhitter, Eddie has proved himself to :be ready and able to handle any assignment. The team he beat on Saturday afternoon was, and is, a strong contender for the Mid-Atlantic crown. They had won four in a row when Eddie slapped them down. . .

CITES w.c. GRADUATE FOR RESEARCH ON 'THE BENDS' Friday, May 3, 1957 Lettermen Select Pat Reed .. Beauty, Poise, Service Bases for Selection Of the Colonels' Queen George McMahon, a Wilkes graduate, has made a valuable contribution in the field of science. He has received a special award for a research project done at University of Pennsylvania Medical School involving caisson disease, commonly called "the bends". This affliction is one of the many· hazards fac ed by the daring deep sea divers and sandhogs, for if not fat~l it f,requently causes paralysis. It 1s due to the great pressures divers are subject to in the ocean depths and is also encountered by the men who work in pressurized compartments driving tunnels beneath rivers. McMahon's award-winning project was entitled "Use of Multiple Inert Gases in Decompression". The decompression involved is the gradual ascent to normal pressure with an attempt to replace .the fatal nitrogen with inert harmless gases. The research in which McMahon was engaged is a part of the U. S. Navy's medical .p rogram at the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving his M.D. this June from the university, he will immediately begin his internship, While a student at Wilkes, where he received his ba,c helor of science degree in 1953, he was co-captain of the football t eam, wrestled for rthe -Colonels and was one of the first lettermen to receive the "Athlete of the Y.ear" award presented ,b y the Beacon.

His dissertation fa, "The Eightenth Century Allegorical Essay". Dr. Heinle said that these essays were a popular literary style during that ,c entury, and. appeared in many of the journals, such as the Spectator. Dr. Heinle added that the principle writers of this .period were Addison, Steele, .Q.oldsmith, Swift, Fielding, and Johnson. These writers turned to this style when they were ,p ressed for something to write. Dr. Heinle said that his study shows how these allegorical essays use two ancient Greek allegories, The Choice of Hercules and The Table of Cebes, as their models. He stated his study also shows the relationship of the Renaissance and eighteenth century allegorical paintings to these essays. Dr. Heinle also included some of the fascinating -p re-Freudian theories of dreams in his dissertation since INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL most of the allegorical essays were presented in a dream framework.

It is impossible to estimate Jim's true value to his team! for he was in all ways a steady, aggressive, dependable performer. Wrestling in the 130-pound class, Jim turned in a total of eleven wins for the Colonels, three of these by falls. His total of points scored for the season was 41, an all-time high here at Wilkes. It was his consistent winning in the earlier bouts of every match that helped to fire up the spirits of the rest of the squad. The value of such a morale-building factor is undeniabJe and is in a large part responsible for the undefeated season turned in by Jim and his teammates. The honors bestowed upon Jim's shoulders this year are numerous. He is one of the co-captains of next year's mat team, dano, Bob Yokavonus, Al Manarski, Don Reynolds, Walt Glo- ~ Jim Ward WILKES he has received the Howard W. Davis Award for excellence in athletics, at the Lettermen's All-Sports Banquet he was named the year's Outstanding Wrestler, and he took second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference 130-pound division championship tourney, in addition to his team records at Wilkes. Balloting for the honor took place earlier this week, with the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, the four coaches, and the Sports staff and editor of the Beacon participating in the vote. Given honorable mention were: Neil Dadurka, George Morgan, Mike Dydo, George Gacha, Bill Farish, Eddie Birnbaum, and Bob Masonis. Others eligible for the award by virtue of being named "Athlete of the Week" throughout the Beacon's current publication year were: Dick Wozniak, Tony Bianco, Nick Giorgowski, Keith Williams, and Ralph Hender~hot. . . The job of selecting a winner from this formidable list of athletic standouts was no easy task, but it is the opinion of those concerned that the final decision was a just one. Jim is the sixth man to receive this award. It was first given in 1952 to Parker Petrilak. Others so honored were George McMahon, Len Batroney, Jim Ferris, and Carl Van Dyke. Ward's name will be placed on the permanent trophy on display in the trophy case in the lobby of the Wilkes gym. In addition, Jim will receive a replica trophy for his personal possession. Presentation of the award and trophy will be formally made at next Tuesday's assembly.

The retailing students have just completed a very important survey for the Mayor's Traffic Committee and today are presenting a Retailing Careers Conference for high school students of the area who are interested in such careers. A great deal of credit should go to the group's advisor, Mr. Eric Stein of the Economics Department. Mr. Stein was the leading light in the establishment of the organization and has been inspiring as its leader. The members of the club have all worked hard for the success of its projects and also deserve a lot of credit. We would like to express our thanks especially to Bill Zdancewicz, who has done a standout job as the group's publicity director. -tim "Hams" A group of amateur radio fans on campus are endeavoring to organize a Wilkes College "ham" club. The proponents of the club are forced to ask for donations of equipment, no matter how outworn, to help get them on their feet. The establishment of a "ham" station at Wilkes would enable many people interested in this hobby to put their interests to practical uses. One of these functions is participation in the Civil Defense communications system. For obvious reasons, the telephone cannot be expected to fulfill the needs of disaster communications. Amateur operators need no elaborate wire connections, rather, they use the airwaves for their contacts. Throughout the country, "ham" operators have worked with state police and Red Cross in disaster areas, and with Civil Defense authorities in attack drills. They have proven their value to the nation in time of distress. Less vital, but infinitely more enjoyable, is the opportunity to contact other similar stations all over the world. These stations are waiting to exchange ideas and pleasantries. It will only take the flick of a switch to make contact, but first that switch, and the accompanying equipment is needed. -R.J.M. ·STUDENT COUNCIL APPROVES CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS by M. L.

Program; 0 - lu.r.i , -· Darrow Chief Speaker by Jim Eidam Saturday, May 4, 1957 From the Journal of a playgoer: Last night the s pirit of comedy came to Wilkes Coll ege, making us not poor with the stillness of death but rich with the mirth of life as the m embers of the gentle craft mended the rips in our souls with their wit and ha•p py laughter. Not for a long time have a ca st of college students presented Th o m a s Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday so spiritedly, re vealing thoroughly the Elizabethan zest for the com edy of domest ic life. From the moment that lean Sir Hugh Lacy ent er ed from the side wing until the commanding k i n g knighted the romantic Rowland, the spirit of com edy in the true tradition of the cobblers of fairyland prick ed the audience with the n eedl e, thread, and awl of boisterous humor and common g ri ef. For this dom estic comedy, the poor man's Sha:kes peare, the student cast found the audience alert and appreciative, the ·poetr y of Dekk er lively and ca,pable of great beauty, and the plot filled with action and word play. When they were done, the audience knew that it had seen a g ood play well p resented. That feeling of chilled suspense susceptible to a moment of great grief was given to us when Jane wept, "Gri ef likes to be alone." On her solitude intruded the audience with the dimming of the lights as she walked toward the side wing; with her pronounced the audience, "Death makes m e poor." Her interpr etation, however, made that line rich. The exuberance of song, dance, and word was on that stage last night. Who will not remember the word play on heart and hart, on dear and deer, or the teasing light of all-knowing laughter in Rose's eyes when she asked Hammon, The strangest hunting that ever I see. But where's your park? Who could feel the impish joy of Firk when he tricked the Lord Mayor and Sir Hugh, or not hear his honor urging his conscience while his hand was hungry for angels, Shal I betray my brother? no! Shall I prove Judas to Hans? no! Shall I cry treason to my corporation? no, I shall be firked an dyerked then. But give me your angel; your angel tell you. Fine lines and actions make good (continued on page 6) Capitol Correspondent Reports on Diplomacy; Germany 'Key to Peace' by Ruth Younger John Metcalf, a White House correspondent, spoke at the student assembly program on Tuesday. He has come to Wilkes as guest speaker ·many years. His experiences a s a correspondent for Time, the Christian Science Monitor and as a world traveler have provided him with u nus u a I information, which h e presented clearly with its interpretation in r eferen ce to the situation in the rest of the world. Mr. Metcalf's t opic was diplomacy. He explained some of the grave problem s that our ambassadors face . As an exam ple he revealed the problem in Germany. Mr. Metcalf said: "German y is the key to world peace, the anch or of freedom ."

Colonels Whip Lebanon, ESSTC; Edged by Mules In Last Week's Action On Tuesday afternoon, the Colon els turned in a 10-6 win over the Flying Dutchmen at Lel;>anon Valley. Southpaw Eddie Birnbaum won his fourth consecutive game, although h e r equired aid- in the fifth inning. Another lefty, . "Porky" Hoats, came on and finished the game to preserve the win. Hoats allowed only two hits , one of wh ic h was a home run, struck out two, and iss ued three passes. Ron Rescigno, playing s e c o n d base , held up his season's batting average of .500 with two hits in four trips to the .plate. Shortstop Joe Pa'rsnik had himself a perfect day at the plate with a single, doubl e, triple and a walk in three official trips to the plate. The win brought the Colonels' record for the year to .s_ix wins against three losses, but their record in the Middle Atlantic Conference stands at four ~ins and two defeats.

Entwined in these thoughts are several names which never seemed to ma,ke the h eadlines, never made 'Athl ete of the Week ', never even seemed to draw the cheers of the spectators. Even though these men weren't formally honored, we feel that the sports pages cannot close for the year without some mention of the unsung heroes. Of course, we could begin the simplest way by naming every man on every roster of every team, but please bear in mind that these are just the personal observations of an individual spectator. This spectator cannot forget the fleet-footed dashes of little Ron Rescigno, his gameness, the M Ye r s daring fake punts, lightning-quick spot passes; yet his de eds went with only superficial mention. Nor can h e forget three-letterman Bob Sokol and his valiant efforts in the unaccustomed role of soccer goalie; his fine, steady, heads-up brand of aggressive basketball ; and his sturdy hitting ability on the baseball diamond. There are, of course, many more. Ahmed Kazimi , Seth Ansah, Red Walsh, Fran Mikolanis, Elmer Snyder, Dave Thomas, Dick Weiss, Bob Turley, Joe Parsnik, John Harvey, Bob McGurrin and countless others. To all these men who received no honors, no individual awards, our heartfelt thanks for many thrills. "VICEROY HAS THE SMOOTHEST TASTE OF ALLI" S U PER S M O OT H !

L. Onufer The ninth annual Parents' Day reception will be held in the college gym Sunday afternoon at four. The event is held each year in conjuction with the college band concert and gives the parents of Wilkes students an opportunity to meet the facuty informally. Bob Moran, Wilkes music instructor, who is directing the band concert for the eighth time, said the program will feature music by American composers. The concert is held during National Music Week which has as its theme, "Music by American Com-p osers". The main numbers are: Overture to Rienzi ,by Wagner, Water Music Suite ,b y Handel, Mississippi Suite by Grofe, Selections from My Fair Lady arranged by Rob ert Russell Bennett, and Trauersinfonie by Wagner. The program will also include a number by H en r y Fillmore, in commemoration of the recent death of this composer of band music, who is considered by many to rank second to Sousa. NOVICE DEBATE TEAM THIRD AT DICKINSON The novice debate team, entered for the first time into inter-collegiate competition, ,placed third in the Fourth Annual Dickinson Novice Debate Tourney held over the week<end at <Carlisle. The m embers of the team were Louis Marcus, a sophomore from Scranton; Christine Winslow, a freshman from Wilkes-Barre, Gwen Evans, a sophomore from WilkesBarre; and Armand Caruso, a frosh from Wilkes-Barre. In addition to the team trophy, Marcus received a plaque for third best negative spe3!ker, bringing to 29 the number of individual and team awards won •by Wilkes in -forensic contests this year. Judged on their ,performance this weekend, the novice team shows promise of filling some gaps which will be left by the graduation in June of the two Wilkes stars, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper, tenth and third 'b est debaters in the nation this year. BASEBALL RESULTS (continued from page 4) from third to behind the plate, relief er George Gacha played the "hot corner", Mike Goobic took Ron Rescigno's place at second, and team captain Joe Parsnik played at short. The big blow of the game was firstbaseman Mike Dydo's second four-bagger of the year. Mike's blast was of the inside-the-park variety. The T eachers, unbeaten· in State Teachers Conference games, had a chance to score in the fourth, but a double play, from Parsnik to Gooib ic to Dydo, erased the t hreat. For the Colonels, it was four runs on eight hits; the Teachers had one ru n and only three hits. Shown with the Ham11ton students are the hosts to the Hampton party during their visit.

This will be , the final regular game of the season for the Colonels, who have begun to make the Middle Atlantic Conference sit up and take notice after last week's setting Ursinus Bears. Last night, the sluggers were up in 1Scranton for a night contest, in an effort to gain permanent possession of the trophy which was presented by the old S c r a n t o n Miners baseball club, to be. given to the winner of the series between the two schools each year. The trophy is now in the Wilkes trophy case, having been captured by the -Colonels last year. ·On Wednesday afternoon, 'Poriky' }{oats came through with a fine three-hit iperformance. His teammates came from a three-run deficit in the seventh, and wen on to win in the eleventh inning, 4-3. Ronnie Reseig no, who has been hitting the ball at a better than .400 clip all year, scored the winning run in the 11th inning. Ron got on base when he was hit by a pitched ball. He brought the run in with some fancy base-running, including a theft of second base; :then scoring on Bob Sokol's hit. Sokol went wild at the plate, having one of his finest days of the year. Bob turned in four hits in six trips to the plate. The ,Colonels enter the game this Bob Sokol Ronnie Rescigno afternoon with thoughts of winning their fifth straight game. Their record now stands at 8 wins, 3 losses for the year; in Conference ,p lay, they lead the loop with 6 conference wins against 2 losses. At the time of this writing, t here was a strong possibility that Eddie Birnbaum, left-handed winner of his last five games, would be the starting pitcher. The .team is looking forward to the return of John Harvey, the formidable b a ck stop, who was suffering from a virus infection during the past few games. Tomorrow afternoon, Artillery Park will be the site of the annual Alumni game, when the "old men" of Wilkes return to do battle with the current aggregation. G a m e time is 2:00 P.M. These games are usually surprisingly well played, and even if they are not, there is conside~·able fun in watching some of the former athletes don uniforms again and cavort on the diamond. A large crowd is expected for both gam es. This is the last chance to see baseball at Wilkes for the season. Don't miss out on a good -e ntertainment bet for the week-end.

In order to enaible more students to get in more games, there will be two separate seasons, Fall and Spring. Two leagues will operate each semester, with playoffs between league winners at the end of each season. In an effort to equalize the bowling somewhat, the team handicap system will be in effect. For the first three-game s e r i e s, no handicap will be used. For all games after that time., each individual's average will .be listed with those of his teammates and added up before the match. The total of the opponents' averages will then be compared, and two-thirds of the difference will be added to the lesser total as a t eam handicap. The team handicap will apply for all three games bowled in that match. Trophies will be awarded to firstand second-place finalists, holders of high male and, female averages, bowlers of high single games, and to the high three-game s er i e s bowlers. League secretaries will be appointed, whose duties it will be to record and publish the w e e k 1 y averages of all bowlers in their leagues. All entries will be called for shortly after the Fall semester begins, Team entries will be accept-ed, as well as individual entries. Individual s will be grouped into teams and captains chosen as soon as possible. All captains will meet with the director before bowling begins to discuss methods of trophy ,purch9.se and distribution. AW ARDS PRESENTED (continued from page 2) Bergstra.sser, and Paul Smith.

NEW GRADING SYSTEM by Michael Salinsky This year, Wilkes College has ent irely r evi sed its system of gr ading. Instead of the old-fashioned let t er method, a n ew system, that of numbers, is going into operation. From now on, the number 4 is established as the hi gh est grade attainable for a Wilkes student. The revised system is as follows: Superior, 4; Very Good, 3; Good, 2; Passing, 1; Failing , 0. Averages are computed (as similarly described in the '67-'58 catalogue ) by multiplying the grade earned in a subject by the number of credits. The totals thus obtained for each subject are added and the total for all subjects is divided by the total number of credits taken by the student. This quotient is called the point average. The following averages are required for advancement fr o m class to class. To be admitted to these classes the following averages are required: Sophomore, 1.4; Junior, 1.7; Senior, 1.85.

Stark Science Hall will be dedicated. As students we will· have the opportunity and privilege to witness the first phase in the development of a new Wilkes College, for we have reached an era of expansion. As we watch history being made next Friday, we can look back at the record of Wilkes' development and marvel at the rapid progress the college has made. However, this progress would have been impossible without the intere.st and generosity shown by prominent citizens from the community. From classrooms in a rented office building we have advanced to classrooms in one of the most modem buildings available anywhere, mainly because the Administration and Board of Trustees have worked hard to make a dream a reality. We can show appreciation to our benefactors by attending the dedication ceremonies next week. ***** Welcome Frosh Speaking of new additions to the college, the Beacon welcomes the three hundred and fifty new freshmen who are now being orientated into college life. This year's class appears to be an active group, and evidently the college will gain much from their enthusiasm in the same way that they will benefit from the college. ***** Cooperation at Its Best TheBeacon tips its hat to our Kingston students and the cpmmunity of Kingston for the wonderful spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm displayed in its recent Centennial program. -Jan . ·Council Takes Reins; Name Days Scheduled By Student .C~~mittee by Marion Klawonn The .Student Council has taken over the reins of hazing this year in an attempt to revive the camrpus tradition. Representatives have been chosen from each class to make up the formerly all sophomore tribunal. It is hoped that, with this plan, all the upperclassmen will feel free to join in the tradition and make it more of a success than it has been in past years. T h e Council aippointed representatives have been making plans for the three-week hazing period since last spring. This week the frosh have been required to wear full r e g a l i a, next week actual hazing will begin with a full program of scheduled events. Monday has :b een dubbed "Rain Day" and all frosh will carry open umbrellas to and from classes. At noon, a Rain Dance will be · held on Chase Lawn. Tuesday will be "Cleanup Day". Frosh must carry buckets and .tooth brushes all day and at noon they will scrub some unannounced site. Wednesday has been dedicated to ,the shoes on campus. Frosh will carry shoe brushes and will use them upon request by upperclassmen. Thursday has been named "Beat ·'~Hams" ' ' A grpup of amat.eJJJ radio .fctjls on campus are endeavoring to organize a Wilkes College "ham" club. The proponents of the club are forced to ask for donations of equipment, no matter how outworn, to help get them on there feet. · , ':I'he establishment of a "ham" station at Wilkes would enable many people interested in this hobby to put their interes~ to praf!ical uses. 011-e of these functions is participation in the Civil Defense C!)mmunications system.

Amateur operators need no elaborate wire connections, rather, they use the airwaves for their contacts. Throughout the country, "ham" operators have worked with Civil Defense authorities in attack drills. They have proved their value to the nation in time of distress. Less vital, but infinitely more enjoyable is the opportunity to contact other similar stations all over the world. These stations are waiting to exchange ideas and pleasantries. It will only take the flick of aswitch to make contact, but first that switch, and the accompanying equipment is needed., - R.J.M.

But because of their past lives, potentialities, and the inspired urge to succeed, they realized within the ensuing days of orientation their common goal each was an intricate part of the group, and the group they were now a definite part of was Wilkes College. Every item of orientation equaled a noteworthy one. From the fine, clear-eut and inspiring talks by the Dean of Men, Mr. George F. Ralston; Dean of Instruction, Alfred ,B astress; and the College President, Eugene .S. Farley to the equally memorable ·points of the Freshman Sing-Song, registration, photographs, group pictures, reception, testing, and the inclusion of the get-together of the Frid a y Luncheon, and Friday Night "Come and Meet Us Party". It was the equivalent of these four days which lent ease, and reflected warmth of a stationary group, ready to add a new appendage of life - the Wilkes freshmen of '57. And when class began for the freshmen of '57, there was understanding in the form of appeal. There was eagerness before and after the set-up of each new class was realized. They knew at this point that whatever hazing incident might involve them, it was for the purpose of personal adjustment, necessary faith and interest in the Alma Mater, discipline, to }Jlention only a few of the constructive points necessa.r y for ,proper development of one's potentialities.

They have finally infiltrated the "Inner Sanctum", and the girls flag of victory waves over Weckesser Hall. Our eighteen girl army has now concealed the boys' former bare shades with pretty curtains. Also to our growing list of dorms has been added George Catlin Hall and Obidiah Gore Hall. These buildings were purchased for the college by the Board of Trustees. George Catlin Hall was acquired from Colonel Dorrance Reynolds, while Obidiah Gore Hall was obtained from the Wadham's estate. The old Dobson building now called Weiss Hall was donated to the college by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss. The dorm students who hail from Texas to the New England States are guided by their able house superintendent. Mr. George Elliot, a familiar face on campus, is head of Weiss Hall. Our other dorms are guided by three newcomers to our family. They include Mrs. Luther Crawford of Weckesser, Mrs. James Langdon of Catlin, and Mr. Russell Miller of Gore. These people aid a total of sixtyseven students.

Friday, September 20, 1957 INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations in the newly r enovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafet eria. Because of the new automatic pin-setters, the price of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. 1Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund f ee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys has been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap met h o d of scoring will be employed this year, it was announced by student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will be-· awarded to the lesser team. That fi g ure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will be played with no handicap. For the second cont est, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will be determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the sea son, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a in immediately preceding each series . If sufficient bowlers are available, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance to bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, a s the hand-set :e,i_ns made THE rpfl - llli!!

With the start of a 'brand-new publication year, this writer has his share of both to distribute. First and foremost, our sincerest thanks and compliments to Marleen Hughes, whose artwork graces the otheFwise, dull space taken up by these editorial comments. · Our compliments and congratulations to the administration for realizing the importance of sufficient talent and experience in the guidance of athletes. This realization is manifested in the naming of Dean George Ralston to the post of head football coach. It has been this .writer's opinion for many years that no gridiron team, regardless of its size or ability, should be forced to prepare for a sixty-minute grind of gruelling body contact without enough men to do the coaching. Dean Ralston is an old hand at whipping even the most inexperienced line into a well-knit unit of gr owling demons. . Coach Picton is now free to devote his t ime to his real love, the backfield.

Rehearsals will soon be getting underway. Their first presentation will be a smash musical comedy, Paint Your Wagon, which will open November 6 and continue through to the 9th at the Irem Temple. Other musicals presented in the past were Girl Crazy in 1954, and Bloomer Girl in 1955. It is expected that Paint Your Wagon will be even ·b igger and better than the two :past shows according tQ Al Groh, club adviser. · For the coming year the officers are as ·follows: Merri Jones, president; ·Paul Abrams, vice ;president; Fred · Wipple, treasurer; Daisette Gebhardt, secretary; and Shirle B a r·o o d y Myer.s, historian. The club's .adviser and director, Mr. Alfred Groh, has announced that Cue 'n' Curtain will meet once a month in ·chase Theater.' · Plans are in progress for a party to ·which freshmen interested in joining the club will be invited. · Groh announced that positions are open .f or backsta-ge workers in the lines of li~hting, set designing, costuming, and make-up. Merri Jones BOOTERS SHAPING UP (continued from page 5) gan, Tom Jenkins, Dave Polley, Bill Lloyd, Seth Ansah, Carl Havira, Clarence Michaels, Nick Giordano, and Maurice Hurley. The greatest blow to the team has been the loss of Bob Sokol, the team's top goalie. The big hole in the goal should be ably filled by returning veteran Bob Payne. If Payne needs help there are four eager newcomers waiting to move into the position. They are Ben Jenkins, ·P hil Baker, Fran Mikolanis and John Wasickanin. Ivan Pappannicholas is the most promising of the- newcomers in the forward line. The team's first game is at Elizabethtown on October 6. The first home game is on October 9 with Philadelphia Textile. The Wilkes hooters play only two home games in a seven game schedule. Because of the small schedule the team is unable to vie for the Middle Atlantic States Conference Championship. STOCK EXCHANGE Some lucky Wilkes student may get to .be a "Wall Street Wizard'' before the semester is over. All it takes is an entry blank for Remington Rand's "Share of America" contest, in which the winner gets stocks of his choice equal in value to a share of every common stock on the New York Steck Exchange. Remington Rand will pay all brokerage fees. In addition to the first prize, there are 504 other stock prizes. If the winner has purchased a Remington Electric Shaver during the contest period, from September 30 until December 1, all prizes double.

FARLEY FEATURED AT FIRST ASSEMBLY; TWO CO-EDS RECEIVE ACADEMIC AWARDS by Joe Todryk Dr. Farley addressed the student body at the opening assembly for the fall semester. The main theme of his speech concerned the challenge that we, as individuals, must face. Dr. Farley stressed the idea that the material changes of our time are progressing very rapidly and that we must meet these changes by becoming aware of them. Otherwise, if we do not meet them they will lead to destruction rather than promise. Edward Kotula, president of the .Student Council, e:icpressed the desire of the College that the student body attend the dedication of the LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS new science building, Stark Hall. The dedication will be held Friday, September 27 at 4:30 P.M. Preceding Dr. Farley's speech, two awards were made. The award for the highest academic ,a verage by a girl during her first year at Wilkes was presented to Miss Evelyn Godleski. Mrs. Doane presented the award on ,b ehalf of the Women of Wilkes. Miss Margaret Stevens received the Linda Morris A ward which was presented by Mr. Herbert Morris in memory of his daughter. The award is given annually to the girl who has maintained the highest academic average during her first three years. by Dick · Bibler Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Lettering LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS PERUGINO'S VILLA IIIIIIIUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll THE BOSTON STORE They were: John Bucholtz, Jesse Chop·e r, Gwen Evans, Bettyjane Eisenpreis, Francis Gallia, Thomas Kaska, Jean Kaswinkle, Barry Miller, Richard Myers, Jerome .Stein, and Marilyn Williams.
