BURDA CHAIRMAN by Maryan Powell Today Wilkes College and the community will honor Admiral Harold R. Stark, a member of the Board of Trustees, and a man with a most distinguished record of service to the United States Navy. Admiral Stark, along with Mrs. John Conyngham, was one of the first donors to the college. The buildings which they contributed, Chase Hall and Conyngham Hall, are still in use today. After the generous donations of Admiral Stark and Mrs. Conyngham, five hundred Valley residents contributed funds to adapt the buildings to college use. Throughout the years in the history of Wilkes, expansion has been made possible only through the generous individuals who gave willingly to provide more space and better facilities for the youth of the community and other points throughout the nation. On this day, as we salute Admiral Stark, we express our deep appreciation to the many other benefactors of the college who gave so magnanimously. -Jan Theta Delta Rho will hold a punch party today from 3 to 4 on the lawn between Chase and Kirby Halls.

So far the response of freshmen and upperclassmen has been most enthusiastic so we're keeping our fingers crossed for the remainder of the year. However, the business and circulation staffs need personnel very badly. Tom Myers and his two assistants have been working especially hard to do the work that should ordinarily be done by a large group of people. If a few more students would kindly volunteer to help Tom and his staff, the responsibility could be shared and a heavy task could become a lot of fun.

His is the compact body of the man who has spent considerable time on the playing field; hard and firm, capable of instantaneous execution of the demands of the mind. This semester he will :put to good use the experience gained through a half lifetime of playing and coaching in the :performance of his duties as head coach of the Wilkes football squad. By no means a newcomer to sports at Wilkes, Dean Ralston serves as Director of Athletics for the school. Four years of varsity football and baseball at Susquehanna High School prepared him for participation in the same sports at the 1University of North Carolina, as a result of which he received Grail Scholarship trophies. J ncidentally, while at the university;·· Dean Ralston roomed with George Stirnweiss, who was later to achieve fame as second baseman for the New York Yankees. World War II saw Dean Ralston in khaki, and in 1946 he was discharged from the Army with the rank of major, whereupon he came to Wilkes and was appointed Director of Athletics. That fall, he Coach Ralston spark-plugged the football team with uncommon zeal, leading the squad to an impressive undefeated, untied record. Again in 1949 he produced a superlative team, the highest-scoring in the state for that season. In 1955 Dean Ralston left Wilkes for a :period of one year to study for his doctorate at Columbia University, returning not only with his degree, but also with a wife, the f o r m e r Mrs. Helen Bitler Hawkins. During his absence Mr. Russell :Picton served as head grid coach. A graduate of Wilkes and president of both his class and the Letterman's Club in his senior year, Mr. Picton had worked under the Dean as an assistant coach for two year. An advocate of sports for everyone, Dean Ralston believes that such activities constitute an intrinsic part of education, providing opportunities for development not available in the classroom. Quoting a former president of Harvard College, the Dean r e f err e d to sports as '',probably the best lab in college," a place to develop such virtues as sacrifice, self-discipline, and self-reliance. During the course of a 60-minute football game, a quarterback is required to make a minimum of 163 instantaneous, un-aided decisions1 probably more than those made by a business executive in a month. Dean Ralston intends to employ a basic single-wing attack this year, as he has in the past. INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations · in the newly renovated 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 cafeteria. Becaus·e of the new automatic pin-setters, the -p rice of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund fee 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 ha-s been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap m et h o d of scoring will be employed {his year, it was announced ·b y 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 beawarded to the lesser team. That figure 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 contest, 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 ·b e determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the season, 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 i n immediately preceding each series. If sufficient bowlers are avaitable, 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 .t o bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, as the hand-set lLll!S made THE GO FOR UM .. ..Today's most exciting cigarette!

IN .PRODUCTION by Peggy Kratz Cue 'n' Curtain has already cast for musical and speaking roles in its first production. Rehearsals will soon be getting under:way. 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 bigger and better than the two p ast shows according to 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 Myers, 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 t o ·which freshmen interested in joining the club will be invited. · Groh announced that positions are open .for backsta•g e workers in the lines of lig,hting, set designing, costuming, and make-up. by M. L. Onufer Eleven three point students were among the eighty-seven spring semester dean's list students according to official announcement. These included six members of last year's graduating class, two each in the classes of '58 and '59, and one member of the class of '60. They were: John Bucholtz, Jesse Cho1>'er, Gwen Evans, Bettyjane Eisenpreis, Francis Gallia, 'Dhomas Kaska, Jean Kaswirikle, Barry Miller, Richard Myers, J er om e Stein, and Marilyn Williams. Other dean's list students were: Earl Bahl, Robert Battie, George B 1 a ck, Phyllis Charnecki, John Chmiola, Alfred D'Anca, George Davis, Harriet Davis, Norma Jean Davis, John Doran, Robert Drexinger, Joseph Durishin. Also Lee Eckert, Ann Faust, John Fladd, Michael George, Robert Gercak, Evelyn Godleski, Richard Heltzel, Thomas Hoosie, Albert Kaiser, Ann Kennedy, Al Kislin, 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 ,t here are four eager newcomers waiting to move into the position. They are Ben Jenkins, ,Phil 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 5. 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 t eam is unable to vie for the Middle Atlantic States Conference Championship. STOCK EXCHANGE Some lucky Wilkes student may get to b e a "Wall Street Wizard" before the semester is over. All it takes is an entry blarik 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 •b rokerage 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.

DR. 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~pressed 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 average by a girl during her first year at Wilkes was presented to Miss Evelyn Godleski. Mi's. Doane presented the award on tbehalf of the Women of Wilkes. Miss Margaret Stevens received the Linda Morris Award 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 I Distributors Mr. Wern er to Dr. Riley : "When you and Mr. Kanner ha ve a departmental meeting what do you do, get two couches and lie down?" ,;:::;:::;:::;:::;::::::..:;::::::..::::::;::::::::;:::;:::;::: PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Le ttering 1 LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS 11 E.

The Bea~o1:1 is willing to cooperate with all campus organizations by g1vmg them as much publicity as possible. However, we need help from individual clubs in order to be informed of their respective activities. We suggest that every class and club elect a publicity director to represent them on our staff or else send a list of their coming activities to the Beacon office. The Chemistry and Biology Clubs and the senior class each have a representative writing for this publication so their publicity has been a great deal better than most organizations'. Yours can be the same, We're willing tQ cooperate. Axe you? -jan Parking Manners The college received a phone call from a Terrace Street resident earlier this week. A Wilkes student had parked in front of his driveway, and consequently the man could not move his car without going over his neighbor's lawn and a high curbstone. This person did some Wilkes student a big favor, he could have had the car towed away but he was nice enough not to, The next time something like this happens the student may not be so fortunate. , Anyone old enough to be in college should, by this time, have learned enough common sense to know some simple rules called courtesy.

The final part of dorm hazing was held last night with the traditional "hell night" march downtown. Frosh were dressed in cositumes ranging from long underwear to pillow-stuffed dresses for their walk through the stores. The "hell night" march was started at W e c k e s s e r Hall and ended in Public Square. Catlin Hall was responstble for the little pennants and the crepe paper decorated goal p o s t s at Saturday night's game with Lebanon Valley. The Student Council appointed Dick Salus to contact the girls and plan for similar activities for the future games. Butler Hall held their dorm elections early in the semester. The following were elected: President, Reginald Mattioli; secretary, Dave Roebuck; house officers, Jay Keller and John Schade. ·Cliff Kobland reports that Gore Hall's intramural football team may very well win the title this year even though this is Gore's first year of .p lay.

Carol ,B reznay, senior sociology major, is beginning her sixth year at the Swoyerville C om m unity Center. Carol began her work in her junior year of high school as a volunteer aide. Since then she had received several promotions until last year when she was made full-time social director. Carol will continue her work in this capacity this year. She also works at the center during her summer vacations, and this summer her activities included coaching one of the area's Little League -baseball teams. Herr Disque, head of the modern language department, was honored at a birthday party last Friday afternoon. The ,party given by members of his German 206· class was held in his office preceding the Stark Dedication ceremonies.

Unofficial response has been quite encouraging. The first recreational night is to ,be held next week, the exact date and time depending upon the availability of the gym. PARKING The Administration has expanded parking facilities for both the students and faculty during the past summer, but space is still at a premium. However, there are still same students who have not recognized this .fact. One still finds cars locked and left in spaces which ,b lock others from getting their vehicles out of the lots. We suggest a more courteous approach to the situation. Let's co-operate with the lot attendants and follow their directions. Careful parking will enable more cars to park in thelimited space available. And most important: if your car is blocking another car's exist, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR KEYS INSIDE! While we're on the topic, we would like to enlighten those members of the student body who feel that they've been "bit"' by the new schedule of parking fees. Actually, the precise· figures are not available, but it boils down to the fact that the)parking fees pay no more than five per cent of the costs of providing the facilities. The money received does not cover the cost of the time of the lot attendants. That does not even consider buying the properties, razing buildings, leveling, grading, paving, and the costs of the stickers. If students were charged for parking at a rate that would cover the costs of providing the space, it would be much cheaper to take the bus. Around the Campi The following bit comes from the Maryland J)iamondbaclc via the Bloomsburg Maroon & Gold: "Sophomores want their women to be like cigarettes, slender and trim, all in a row, to be selected at will, aflame and when the flame has subsided, discarded only to select another. "A junior wants ·h is women to be like a cigar. They're more expensive, make a better appearance and last longer. "A senior wants his girl to be like his pipe . . . something he becomes attached to, knocks gently but lovingly around and takes great care of at all times. . "A man will give you a cigarette, offer you a cigar, but will never share his pipe. "P.S.-Freshmen are too young to smoke!"

B!ology Club Receives Research Grant; STARK OFFICIALLY D· E·DICAT EDCiba Five Projects Outlined Eisenhower, Churchill Send Congratulations 'i'o Admiral H. R. Stark by Jim Eidam Under a bright autumn sky, an a u d i e n c e of over 900 -p ersons gathered on Stark Lawn last F _riaay afternoon for the ceremonies which officially dedicated the new Admiral Harold R. Stark Seience Hall. Admiral Ben Moreell, USN (ret.), was the princiipal speaker. The program commenced at 4:30 o'clock with an academic procession of honored guests, trustees, and faculty members. The program followed the order which was published in last week's issue of tne .Heacon. Dr. l<"arley, -prior ,t o introducing Admiral Jv.wreeU, stated how indebted the college was for this most generous gift. Stark Hall is an assurance that the first twentylive years of Wilkes College will bear fruit in all of the years which shall tollow them. Dr. Farley added tnat Wi1kes must not only .p erpetuate the name of Admiral .:starK, ,but also the high ideals for wnich he stood. Admiral ,vioreell's address began with an outline of the highlights of Admiral Stark's forty-sevenyear naval career, which was marked with four distinguished service medals. Moreell praised Admiral Stark for "endeavor and achievement far above and beyond the normal° requirements of duty." In further praise of his longtime friend Admiral Moreell declared: "Hi~ tireless energy, his sympathetic understanding of the foibles of human nature, his patience and quiet persistence in time of great stress ..•have set standards of personal conduct in the Naval Service which will never be exceeded and rarely equalled." The theme of Admiral Moreell's address was ,Science, Industry a.nd Education. Declaring that science, education, and religion are the three major cultural forces in the American society, he added that these three, to become effective, have to be sustained by a fourl;h element, which is industry, or the economic factor. Economic activity of America supplies the means for all our ends, and an intimate relationship between science, industry, and edu• cation is necessary for our achievement of social ,p ro.g ress, which is· necessary for our survival as a free nation. Admiral Moreen traced the recent change in the concept of science. He stated that Ka.rl Marx interpreted science as the only avenue to truth, and up to the present day the world has been de• ceived :b y Marx's followers who seek to mold society according to a master scientific plan.

There is no doubt that the 6:07 tailback was the most outstanding Colonel ,on the field as well as one of the best hacks that trod onto the bright green gridiron Sa.turday night at the new Kingston Stadium. Wilkes took it on the chin, 21-0, from Lebanon Valley College, but -R eseigno's play gave the partisan crowd plenty to cheer about. Ronnie, who is now in his fourth year of intercollegiate ball, carried the pigskin an amazing total of 26 times for 109 yards, better than four yards per carry. He was also involved in eleven pass plays. But more important was the "Runt's" never - say - die attitude. When the final gun sounded the Colonels .w ere deep in Valley territory, with their little signal caller leading .t he way. In the interest of faifness and equality, several important changes have been made· in this year's bowling arrangements; In order to have a well-bala-nced league, it has been decided that all bowling this Sunday evening will be for the sole purpose of establishing an offici~l league averag~. With the avera'!es thus recorded, teams will be drawn up man effort to provide each team with an equal number of high- and low-average The Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon bowlers. · Ronnie Rescigno Rescigno was tired and he had reason to be. He was getting hit hard as the Lebanon linebackers knew he was the man to stop. But he never gave up. He blocked like an All-American guard on reverses, tackled with authority, was all over the field shouting encouraging .words to his teammates. As in ,t he Hofstra tilt, and in the previous three years, he has been the force that has kept the fighting spirit alive in all of the Wilkes football squads. Fans of the college have wondered how the diminutive senior can keep going against overwhelming odds. The answer is s1JJ14)le. Rescigno loves the game of football and gives it all he has. And tha.t, in the case of Rescigno, is plenty. SUPEa-W!USTON PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS , Valley gave the Wilkes Colonels a football lesson on Saturday night at Kingston Stadium. Led by Tquarterback Bill DeLiberty, the Dutchmen found the Colonels' line no puzzle, scoring three times to register their first win of the season by a 21-0 count. DeLiberty was just a little less than super,b with his canny calls, pitchouts, and passing. He hit for a total of five completed passes out of ten attempts. llis baClkfteld men, Ed Slezosky, Bob Longenecker, and Len Holstein played their ,p arts beautifully in Coach McCracken's well-oiled machine. DeLiberty convel'ted all three extra point attempts. The Colonels, on the other hand, found their defense just not up to stopping the slashing charges of the Lebanon squad, their own offense lacking in nearly every department, but certainly not through any fault of any particular individual. The Wilkes squad was playing its usual hard-fought brand of football; it was simply a case of one team out-dassing another. That the defense of the Colonels' has improved since 1966 is evident in the manner in which the team has suffered its two defea.ts. Last year, the Lebanon squad took the measure of the Colonels, 39-6, and in the Hofstra ·t ilt, the Blue and Gold reduced last year's 40-0 score to a respectable 14-0. The thing ,t hat sent the Colonel fans home happy was the brilliant display put on by senior tailback Ron Rescigno (see "Athlete of the Week" story). Rescigno has made such play a pleasant ha:bit to ob(continued on page 5) There have ,b een fifty-nine people who have shown a desire to participate in this year's program. These people will be divided into two groups for Sunday's action. The first giroup will begin bowling at 6 :00 P..M. ,p romptly, the second group will follow immediately. I,t is hoped that everyone interested will make a sincere effort to be punctual in order that all may have a chance ,t o esta:blish an average. The Jewish Community Center is taking Sunday night away from its members who would like to bowl then, in order to give the college an opportunity to further its intramural recreational activities. Because of the concession the Center makes, it is necessary for the bowlers to shoulder a few responsi,b ilities in return. There will be two leagues bowling on the same night, one beginning at 6:00 ·P.M., ,t he other as soon as -p ossible after the first is finished. Each team will carry six members on its roster, but only five will ·bowl each time, giving some break for the pocketbook of each player. However, each team will be res,ponsible for five bowlers each week, and will be penalized for absent bowlers by paying the cost of the missing man's games. The Center expects to have two leagues of six teams, each with five players every Sunday night; a total of sixty three-game fees, and the College must live up to ,t hat figure out of courtesy for the hospitality offered. The first group, to meet at 6:00 P.M., •Sunday night, will be the following: Alley 7: Stan Yurkowski, Joseph Ackamey, Ray Litman, Dick Myers, Jim Judge.

Alley 3: Don Wilkenson, Al Ullman, John Macri, Bill Duffy. The second g r o up will begin bowling as soon as the first has finished, around 8 :00 P.M. Those in the second group are: Alley 3: Marion Klawonn, Doug Kistler, Carolyn Goeringer, Peter M~holik, Clete Miller. _ Alley 4: Barry Miller, Paul Schecter, M a, r i e Realmuto, John Reese, Art Hoover.

Rider College is the newest addition for this season. The Colonels journey to the Rider campus for a night game on October 9. After the addition of soccer to the varsity sports program here at Wilkes, and a lengthy losing streak, Rider was the first school the Wilkes hooters beat. They lost to Rider the last two years by close scores. The Rider contest is the scond game on the Colonels' slate, for they open the season Saturday, 0 c t o b er 5th, at Elizabethtown. Wilkes was one of the few teams that beat a very good Elizabethtown team last year. They did it by a 5-3 score. Since both squads are return i n g almost intact a thrilling game is expected. The Colonels appear to be in excellent physical shape, with no apparent injuries. The injured Bill Lloyd will make the trip and, depending upon the doctor's approval, may even get to play.

The Colonels, smarting under the sting of two straight defeats at the hands of teams which they equaled or bettered in all the statistics but score, are win-hungry. Their last victory was against thl;' same Bomber squad. Wilkes will be without the services of their starting center, Bob Yokavonus, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in the first quarter of the Lebanon Valley game and will be lost to the Colonels for several weeks. The Wilkes single'ilring attack will be led by cocaptain Ron Rescigno who averaged 4.36 yards per carry in the Lebanon Valley game and was a standout throughout the game. In the last two games the team has shown that the potential :for a winning season is there. It haa shown the ability to drive against and run around heavier lines; however, it lacked the final scoring punch. The coaches are working hard with the team and hope to have the rough spots polished up for tonight's game. The team has · a fighting spirit even in defeat. Tonight may be just the night when their fighting spirit and the breaks of the game, which so far this season have gone against them, will come through and give Wilkes its first win of the 1957 season.

Of this amount, Wilkes is expected to contribute $3,850. Last year the -s tudent body contributed $880. This year, because of the greater enrollment, it is estimated that the students will be able to collect $1,000 for the fund. The various clubs, which in past years have given donations, are once again urged to participate to help make the drive a successful one. Faculty members, the administration, and the maintenance workers will be working hard to raise the remainder or $2,850. Added credit should be given to those students who not only contribute as individuals, but as members of the various clubs as well. Dr. Reif, head of the United Fund Drive for Wilkes, commented that last year the students showed much enthusiasm about the campaign. With such enthusiasm a11d much partici,pa,tion in the drive this year, it is expected that Wilkes can show its interest in the valley, just as the valley has shown its interest in Wilkes.

However, to date NO NOMINATIONS HA VE BEEN RECEIVED. We feel that the Queen and her court should be nominated by th~ir fellow classmates, not by the Beacon staff; but if no letters of nomination are written, there will be no other alternative. T4e Beacon is not introducing this system of selection this year. We are merely following last year's procedures. We feel that everyi girl on campus is worthy of the title so we cannot understand why none of our co-eds have been nominated. ANY GIRL ELIGIBLE Contrary to any opinion expressed by ONLY ONE member of the editorial staff, ANY girl is eligible to compete regardless of her class. Every member of the judging committee was asked if he preferred to limit the competition to seniors or if the selection should be based on the entire enrollment at the college. ONLY ONE member felt that the judging should be restricted to include only seniors; every other member voted to maintain the traditional rule that all girls nominated should be considered for the title. ALUMNI COOPERATION The Alumni Association is working hard to make this year's Homecoming one of the best ever held at the college. Anita Janerich, Alumni Secretary, and Russ Picton, Alumni Executive Secretary, have been working on the details and have set up a schedule of homecoming activities. Mrs. Janerich has informed us that she will make a gift of a crown and a royal robe to the Beacon on behalf of the Alumni Association. The regal attire will be available for all college aeUvities, such as the Homecoming and the Cinderella Ball.

Letter to the Editor •.• Dear Madam Editor: We, the men of Warner Hall, both freshman and upperclassmen, are appalled and grieved by the antics of a certain notorious senior. This senior, amazingly enough, holds a respectable position as one of the representatives of his class to the student council. One of the things that amazed us with this senior is that he was recently a member of the Tribunal. We alwa ys thought that Tribunals were set up to administer justice, but apparently this is not so. We also thought that members of a Tribunal should be the first to uphold the philosophy of such an organization. We were repulsed and disgusted when we heard that this "high. minded" s e n i o r student council member and Tribunal representative had the effrontery and brass to compel a "lousy frosh" to get down on her hands and knees and eat grass. We were doubly repulsed to note that the "frosh" concerned was a girl. But, what really made us sick to the stomach, disgusted, repulsed, and words that we cannot use, was the recent action of this notorious individual at the Freshman Dance Friday evening. We'd like to ex t en d our compliments to the young lady involved, for holding her temper. We extend our sympaty to her, that she was subjected to a proposal by such an egotistical and such an inferior creature as the jackass involved. We were reminded of the section in the freshman handbook that talked about social ostracism for the "frosh" who could not live up to the standards of a freshman. We suggest social ostracism for this egotistical slob who has become a senior in college, a sergenat in the Air Force, reached the age of manhood, and yet who has never been able to lean, the social amenities and the qualities of decency and humanity t h a t characterize even the lowliest "frosh" who has ever entered Wilkes.

The student organizations have all submitted their budgets to the Student Council. As usual, the requests exceed the amount given by the Administration to the Council. Thus our representatives are stuck with the thankless task of paring the budgets, without impairing the services provided. This year the council has $12,360 to distribute. Last year's council had $11,000 to apportion between nine different activities. This was done with a ]illinimum of confusion and a maximum of efficiency. But then, at the end of the "bookkeeping year", it was reported that the Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) Fund was some $1400 in the red. In some cases the reported deficits were correct as stated, although in others the situation appears to have been remedied or at least improved by late receipts. So, that, in the final analysis, the fund did not fare as badly as the bookkeeping "system" would lead one to believe. Be that as it may, it ROOM TO GROW appears that this year's allocation to the fund has been based on last year's $11,000 with the $1,360 increase being added to offset amounts that the activities allegedly went into the ho 1 e last year. And this y ear there's another organization sharing the fund! By the way, did you ever wonder what became of the half of one per cent that was cut f r o m the ECA allotment? We still have nothing but rumors. A Deserved Tribute This deparhnent today salutes a man who has devoted the last three years to making the Class of 1958 one of the most unified and strongest classes ever to grace this campus. B e g i n n i n g in the Freshman year, he took the reins and led the class to a year of financial and social success. In the past two years the class h a s progressed i n this vein, growing sounder and more sure of itself under his "Hope they fit at the end of the year, Ronnie!" leadership. He was originator of many novel and unusual events on campus; many others were not his own ideas, but were pushed by him and thus became realities. Among the many accomplishments of this individual we can list the establishment of the Class Memorial Fund (an idea imitated by most succeeding classes); the annual Class Banquet and Dance; the creation of a Class Council, with representatives from all departments; and the ever-popular Beard Dance. Besides his untiring work for the Class of '58, he also has done a great deal for the college as a whole. This senior was the chairman of the School Spirit Committee, which attempted to get some positive response out of the students in the way of support for the athletic program. To this end, the idea of a parade and bonfire was brought up and carried out under his able leadership. The list of his accomplishments could go on to mention that he founded the Wilkes College chapter of the Collegiate Conference for the United Nations, carried out a hazing program, started the selling of chrysanthemums at the Homecoming game and originated the Chrismtas holiday dance. These are but the most notable of his achievements. We have not mentioned the numerous class meetings he ran, the work at dances, supporting himself with one or more jobs off campus and keeping up with studies. We take this opportunity to load all 21 guns for a salute toDave Vann.

It Carroll was noatchore to follow Mr. Groh's suggestion to let the imagination fill in for any lack in stage setting. For a few moments the audience did not see the stage of the gym as such, but as a Victorian drawing room; a study belonging to Professor Higgins, or an Irish cottage. The first scene that Miss Carroll and Mr. Rosqui reproduced was from Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest", in which the young lady, receives a suitor called Earnest. A convenient coincidence, for she says she has always wanted to love someone named as such. In .the course of the conversation she admits that he "produces vibrati_ons" in her, but finally rejects him beca,use of his lowly birth. As a baby, he had been found in a hand bag in Victoria Station.

His is the compact body of the man who has spent considerable time on the playing field; hard and firm, capable of instantaneous execution of the demands of the mind. This semester he will :put to good use the experience gained through a half lifetime of playing and coaching in the :performance of his duties as head coach of the Wilkes football squad. By no means a newcomer to sports at Wilkes, Dean Ralston serves as Director of Athletics for the school. Four years of varsity football and baseball at Susquehanna High School prepared him for participation in the same sports at the 1University of North Carolina, as a result of which he received Grail Scholarship trophies. J ncidentally, while at the university;·· Dean Ralston roomed with George Stirnweiss, who was later to achieve fame as second baseman for the New York Yankees. World War II saw Dean Ralston in khaki, and in 1946 he was discharged from the Army with the rank of major, whereupon he came to Wilkes and was appointed Director of Athletics. That fall, he Coach Ralston spark-plugged the football team with uncommon zeal, leading the squad to an impressive undefeated, untied record. Again in 1949 he produced a superlative team, the highest-scoring in the state for that season. In 1955 Dean Ralston left Wilkes for a :period of one year to study for his doctorate at Columbia University, returning not only with his degree, but also with a wife, the f o r m e r Mrs. Helen Bitler Hawkins. During his absence Mr. Russell :Picton served as head grid coach. A graduate of Wilkes and president of both his class and the Letterman's Club in his senior year, Mr. Picton had worked under the Dean as an assistant coach for two year. An advocate of sports for everyone, Dean Ralston believes that such activities constitute an intrinsic part of education, providing opportunities for development not available in the classroom. Quoting a former president of Harvard College, the Dean r e f err e d to sports as '',probably the best lab in college," a place to develop such virtues as sacrifice, self-discipline, and self-reliance. During the course of a 60-minute football game, a quarterback is required to make a minimum of 163 instantaneous, un-aided decisions1 probably more than those made by a business executive in a month. Dean Ralston intends to employ a basic single-wing attack this year, as he has in the past. INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations · in the newly renovated 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 cafeteria. Becaus·e of the new automatic pin-setters, the -p rice of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund fee 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 ha-s been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap m et h o d of scoring will be employed {his year, it was announced ·b y 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 beawarded to the lesser team. That figure 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 contest, 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 ·b e determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the season, 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 i n immediately preceding each series. If sufficient bowlers are avaitable, 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 .t o bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, as the hand-set lLll!S made THE GO FOR UM .. ..Today's most exciting cigarette!

This current is neither fa,vorable, complimentary, nor in some cases - well founded. It is not the intenNick Giordano tion of this r epor ter to present arguments which cannot be backed up · by sound logic, nor is there any intent to allow this column ,t o be used by irate fans and students as an outlet for their ire over the ha,pless eleven. There are, however, a· few comments which are stric-tly objective and pose merely academic problems which can be debatd without undue heat entering the discussion. The ma,i n complaint, of a technical nature, seems to be that the offense employed by the Colonels is outdated and ineffective. The results of games played to date seem to give this argument considerable merit. The single-wing formation is basically a power play, requiring a high degree of skill, fine timing, and a .backfield capable of ripping _ through a line at high speed. The linemen must be big, heavy, and fast. On paper, there is no reason why such a formation should be unsuccessful with the Wilkes squad. The fact of the matter is that with Last Friday night, a fired-up barely two full teams in uniform and in condition to play, the Colonels Ithaca team, led by Al Cain, ripped are sadly lacking the essential ingredient for a singl~wing team the Colonels hy a 19-0 score at. the manpower. 1 New York State home field.

There are no rosters available to the Beacon at the time of this writing, therefore i,t is not ,known whether the champs have been assimilated into other teams, or have decided to rest on their laurels. Perhaps the absence of team captain Elmer Snyder, who is not at Wilkes this semester, explains th e Trojans' •departure from the touch football scene. . . Oh ·T uesday, October 15, the Vets will take on the men of Gore Hall in one game, while the SixtyNiners will test the Freshman Six. On Wednesday, October 16, the Engineers will bang heads with John Wasiokannon's Incinerators, and the Dirty Rotten Low-down Hom :b re s will tackle the Ray's Recruits squad. The following day, Thursday, October 17, will find the Vets opposing the Freshman Six and Gore Hall against the Sixty-Niners. Mr John Reese Director of the Wilk~s intra-murai sports program, has asked the Beacon to publidze the fact that officials a,re needed for the league. There is no verification in this office at this time but it is believed that the official~ who volunteer to handle these games will be paid one dollar for their services.

The second period was hard-fought _ on fairly even terms, with no score. being made. In the third period, Giordano booted in a goal from 15 yards out to make the score 2-0. In the final period of play, he smashed in another from a scramble about five feet in front of the goal for the final touch. ·· Co-captain halfback Tony Bianco teamed up with goalie Bob Payne to turn in some brilliant defensiv&. play to keep the Riders thwarted on every scoring attem~t. In last 'Saturday's game at Elizabethtown, Payne was outstandingon defense, turning away over twenty shots, but the Blue Jays managed to smash in two counters. The second of these was scored by center-half White with only six minutes left in the game. Even in defeat, however, the Colonels looked good. Coach Jim Ferris has been training the men !tirelessly, and they are in about ,t he finest physical condition of any Colonel squad ever to ta:ke to ari athletic field.

TWO CO-EDS TO SPEAK ROOMER'S RUMORS AT ED. CLUB MEETING by Marion J. Klawonn by Ruth Younger Indications predict that the program for the E d U C at i On Chm meeting October 17, at Sturdevant Hall will be exceptionally fine. Mary Lou Spinelli and Carolyn Goeringer will speak on the social conditions of Europe and show slides of that continent. These two co-eds are well qualified to speak on this topic, since they traveled in Europe this summer with the National Student Council of the YWCA and the YMCA. Their tour was quite extensive, including such countries as France, England, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, and the Netherlands. In these countries, the students observed several social and economic conditiohs which affect education. By understanding these conditions, it is hoped that our own American education system can be evaluated more thoroughly through comparisons. Joseph Ludgate, ,p resident of the club, will -p reside at a short business meeting following the program. Plans for the Homecoming Decorating Party, to •be held October 22, will be made. Last week, Rita Matiskella and Ruth Younger gave reports on the Na ti on a I Education Association Conference which they attended with Joseph Ludgate on September 27 and 28. Joe, who is also vicepresident of the Pennsylvania State Naitional Education Association for Students, led discussions at this conference. The topic was "The Purposes and Programs for the Local College Student Education Association of Pennsylvania". Apologies to Ashley Hall for not mentioning that they worked in cooperation wi-th Catlin in decorating the goal posts for the Lebanon Valley game. Jim Mosier a,nd the JDC have an n o u n c e d that the interdorm basketball season will begin as soon as the teams can be drawn up and the gym arranged for. Most of the dorms are enthusiastic about p I a yin g. Paul Schecter is in charge. Immediately after discussing the basketball s e a s on, the council brought up the necessity of emergency first-aid kits for the dorms. Whether these two subjects have any connection or not isn't cleaT at this writing. Speaking of basketball, Mary Rose Sidari tells us that she is ,t hinking seriously about joining the girls' basketball team, the Colonelettes. She claims that she is going to -be the team's secret weapon because she is short enough to run under the opposition instead of around them - Misericordia, beware! Rumor has it that one dorm girl had to hike across the Market Street bridge the other day because her car broke down. Sounds like a good idea for getting in shape for the oncoming interdorm basketball season. Mary Darling has been elected sports representative from Sterling Hall for this year.

With the goal of $3,850, the entire college is working dilligently to achieve the mark. The students under Chairman Tom Ruggiero ;md Co-chairmen Ed Kotula and Ron Tremayne are pl;m11j11g to raise $1,000 toward the ultimate goal. Each class president is acting as class chairman and has a•p.pofnted committees to collect the donations from individual students. Every student is expected to contribute at least one dollar (although any amount will be accepted). Considering that we have 950 students, the classes expect to contribute approximately $950. The chairmen hope to raise t}:ie remainder of $50 through campus clubs and the United Fund Dance which the Biolog y Club has consented to sponsor. Class competition is urged.

MqttiQU Pep Rally to be Held Next Friday Evening At Kingston Bonfire by Barbara Vose The School S•p irit Committee has started the year with flying colors by laying plans for a combined parade, bonfire, and pep rally. The tentative program begins with the forming of a parade, including the band, cheerleaders, a car caravan, and Wilkes students backing them up, in front of Chase Hall on Friday, October 25, at 6:30 P.M. Also, the traditional Wilkes Colonels will make their first appearance of this year. Elected by the School S•pirit Committee, they are Andy Pavlock and Charles Kirschner. Clubs and dorms are asked to enter their individual cars in the caravan, perhaps using decorations which will carry out their Homecoming theme. The Homecoming queen and princesses, the coaches, and teams will ride in the first few cars. A -p rize will be awarded to one of the competing cars. The parade will go to a designated place in Kingston where a bonfire and pep rally will be held. This is in preparation for the soccer and football games which are to -b e held the following day. The program will be over by nine so that the students may proceed to the dance sponsored by the Biology Club. ASSEMBLY CANCELLED Mrs. Gertrude A. Doane. dean of women, announced that next Tuesday's assembly has been cancelled. The assembly, which was to be presented by the Cue 'n' Curtain, was cancelled because of illness of many cast member!J. Miss Phyllis Ruby is the feature attraction of the "Club Oasis" and is well qualified as a night club entertainer. She has ap.peared in various resort hotels and night clubs in the Poconos, along the New Jersey shore and in Florida. She has also released a record, "Hey There, Baby", on the Arco label. Miss Ruby is appearing at the Twin Grill - Europa Lounge nightly with the Lee Vincent quintet. The Diplomats, a talented and · versatile ensemble appearing in, this area for the first time, will p·rovide music for dancing. To carry out the theme of a night club, various members of the Junior Class will serve as waiters for thirsty dancers desiring refreshment. There will be cigarette girls in the traditional outfits and, pf course, coat-checking girls.

Presently the group is planning a bonfire which is tentatively scheduled for next Friday. This activity is designed to create more enthusiasm within the student body and to begin the Homecoming festivities. School spirit cannot be developed merely because a group of people get together to sponsor an activity, however. It can only be developed when every student shows his interest in the college by supporting athletic teams and social organizations. Last year's Homecoming was the best ever in the history of the college because of the enthusiasm shown by students, members of the faculty, and members of the Alumni Association. We can all enjoy the same type of affair this year if everyone will let his hair down and join in the festivities next weekend. Last year's Homecoming was a memorable one; let's make this year's even better. Need New Shoes? Tom McHale, who has been a regular advertiser in the Beacon to date, is offering a free pair of The Hub's well-known Bostonian shoes to some lucky Wilkes male. Mr. McHale, because of his interest in local schools, has stated that the shoes will be given away if one hundred men from the college will stop in the shoe department of The Hub and register as contestants for a drawing, which will be held after the hundredth student has registered. There is nothing to buy, no obligation. Simply go in and sign up with Tom McHale. Who knows? You may be the lucky winner of a pair of Bostonian shoes. Give the United Way Support the United Fund Once again the college has made an appeal to every student to donate a very small amount of his spending money to a worthy cause, the United Fund Drive. This is the only time of the year that we are asked to donate money to any charity, but we are frequently given free public services, such as the Chest X-rays sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Department of Health. -Jan WIL~ COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes CoUege, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Friday, October 18, 1957 by Dick Bibler During the past two years, over $2500 has been given or pledged to the improvement and development of Wilkes College by members of the student body and recent graduates_ The agency which is responsible for this valuable aid has been the Class Memorial Fund Plan - a plan conceived in their sophomore year by this year's graduating class and adopted by every class since that time, beginning with the class of 1956. The plan was introduced by Dave Vann, a senior this year. Graduating classes since time immemorial have given class gifts to their colleges as a means of perpetuating the memory of their classes_ Many times because of insufficient funds, the gift was of no consequence or of little value. to the college. Usually, in order to make up for this lack of funds, each member of the senior class was assessed just when it could be least · afforded - in the senior year. In addition, the gift was often destroyed because of the physical changes on the college campus. After considering these problems, the class memorial plan was originated so that the graduates could ~ive something worthwhile with the minimum of difficulty. By class direction,the funds are to be raised from an assessment of $1.00 per semester for each student. Upon the request of the classes adopting the plan, Dr. Farley directed the com1>troller to add $1.00 to each student's tuition which would enable the classes to have the funds collected and recorded for them without any bookkeeping ;problem on their ,p art. The funds then would be used as the classes decide in their senior year. It has proved to be highly successful with only a minimum of financial strain on the individual student. A report of the class memorial funds follow: Class Memorial Funds Class of 1956 .... . . .. $ 407.80 591.00 Class Class Class Class of of of of 1957 1958 1959 1960 .. . . .. .. . .. .. ... . 998.80 596.57 350.00 565.00 $2,510.31 The Class of 1956 also contributed a Trophy Case in addition to the Memorial Fund and an Alumni Fund. The Class of 1957 gave a globe as a gift to the college, in addition to the Fund. Each year the Memorial Fund Report is publicized in the Beacon and in the Alumnus, Alumni magazine, so that everyone is informed of their class achievement. The class funds of 1958 and 1959 are not yet completed and are still growing. The class of 1960 will begin the fund this year as voted upon by the class last spring. As indicated by the class of 1956 report, annual alumni contributions will be added to the class totals each year so that at any time, the graduating classes can see how much they have given to the college through their memorial funds and •purposes for which it was used. The Class Memorial Fund is a new idea in class and alumni giving designed to be of service to the college in years to come.

During the week of November 4, all Orientation Classes will meet at their regularly scheduled times in the Projection Theater. There is only one of "us". "We" exist in only one body and "our" opinions are the product of one mind. But "we" are "we" as a matter of journalistic form. In the early Nineteenth Century, the editorials of a newspaper were written by one man, the editor. When he expressed an opinion, it was prefixed with: "I believe . . . " Later in the century newspapers became Big Business and complexity of organization led to editorial staffs and soon the 'T' was replaced by the editorial "we". Since that time the use of the first person plural has spread so that today it is used almost exclusively. "We", in "our" column, therefore adopted this form of expression, which also is used by nearly every columnist in the field of journalism. When "we" express an opinion, it is "our" singular opinion and not that of this newspaper or an official statement of the Beacon's policies. We are "ONLY ONE" member of the editorial staff. However, as a columnist "we" have the right to differ in opinion with the views of the editor. This right was established by the late Heywood Broun of the New York World and WorldTelegram, notably in his championing of Sacco and Vanzetti. Since that time editors have realized that readiness to show both sides of an argument emphasizes to the readers that the paper is broadminded and fair. For Example We do not agree with the majority opinion of the editors on the matter of the selection of the Homecoming Queen. We feel that the honors should go to the senior girls, the ones who have earned the respect and confidence of the students and faculty and have proved that they are worthy of the honors bestowed. Not that we have anything against any of the previous Cinderellas or Homecoming Queens, but from the standpoint that girls who are popular as freshmen may not even remain at Wilkes for their degree, but may leave for any number of reasons_ There has been some favorable comment on the proposal from the faculty and students, but so far no one has made a survey of student opinion as a whole. We did do some looking into the situation ourselves. Last week we had the pleasure of interviewing one of Wilkes' royal ladies, Miss Jacqueline Oliver. In case you're a frosh, Jackie was Cinderella in 1955. She had some interesting comments. For one thing, she agreed with us that the honor of being Cinderella means a good deal more to a senior than it does to a freshman. Jackie stated that having won the title as a frosh was a thrill, but that the honor would have been a great deal more meaningful if she had been a senior. Moreover, it made for awkward situations the following year and last year when she was nominated again. What girl would not like to be Cinderella, but she didn't want to deprive the others of a chance. And yet, how many times could she refuse a nomination without injuring the feelings of the friends who had nominated her? P.S. We still think that she's lovely and charming enough to be Cinderella, even though she's now an "old" senior. Scattershots After chewing out the Paint Your Wagon cast at one of those rehearsals where everything seems to go wrong, Al Groh made amends as follows: "I apologize, but I don't take back a word I said!" Sometimes the only thing that keeps Wilkes students going is the lack of a parking place. A hobby is a habit that costs money. But don't worry, money isn't everything; good health is 5%. Then there's the one about the homesick artificial moon that looked down as it passed its home base and saw a glow. Whereupon it radioed back: "Is satellite in the window for me?" You Never Had It So Good! Next time anyone complains about the Beacon, were going to refer them to Louis Fischer's latest book, Russia Revisited. He states: "Soviet newspapers are as unappetizing as regurgitated dishwater and as exciting as the minutes of last month's meeting of the board of directors of a zipper·factory." The book is an interesting commentary on life in the Soviet Union. Fischer, who lived in Moscow from 1922 to 1938 as a foreign correspondent, returned in 1956 and spent his entire stay talking with the people of Russia and the satellite nations. The crowded living conditions are disclosed - four or five persons living in one room with no plumbing, while the state builds skyscrapers to honor its "heroes". Soviet incomes are compared with those of the United States. The average Russian worker's 500-800 roubles per month would be equal to about $200 maximum in greenbacks at the official rate of exchange. However, at that rate an egg sells for 25 cents, cotton pajamas for $66.75, and an ice cream cone for 50 cents. Political conditions have changed in Russia since the death of Stalin, according to the author. People are more willing to discuss and even, albeit quietly, criticize their government. Fischer writes about people he knows and of those he meets on the streets. His style is direct and readable. One of the best sections of the book is the description of the Poznan Revolution, which is quite vivid, as though one were re-living the experi(continued on page 6) �Friday, October 18, 1957 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON GIVEN BY MERCK CO.

This brings the total of Middle Atlantic Conference games to six, the minimum required for eligibility to the MASCAC postseason playoff tournament. The Bisons and Colonels have been in some thrilling games during their series. Two years ago, for instance, the teams battled to a 2-2 tie. Last season they went at it again with another frustrating tie game, this time by a 1-1 score. The Wilkes soccer team opens its home stand this coming Thursday, October 24, in a match with Philadelphia Textile Institute at Kirby Park The match starts at 3 P.M. and the field, for the information of those who have never attended before, is located along the dike opposite the tennis courts. The Philadelphia team has always had a very good record and last week the current team showed good power and :balance in tying a very powerful Howard University squad, in a one-one match. The Textile team is loaded with talent and is the slickest ball handling 1 club the Wilkes hooters will meet. The ball handling ability is provided by the foreign born players that man the forward wall for the Philadeliphia ,h ooters. That city is in itself a hotbox of enthusiasm for soccer. Therefore, experienced players are always available. The ,Colonel boo.ters lost to the Textile team by a 3-1 count last year and are out to avenge the defeat come Thursday afternoon. Coach Jim Ferris' hooters appear to be in excellent physical shape for the coming contest with no a,p parent injuries. In addition they are in excellent spirits after the 3-0 Rider victory and have a right to be, for Coach Ferris had praise for the whole team in what he called a "team victory" over a rugged Rider squad. So with the first home game of the season, and an excellent one at that, being played at Kirby Park on Thursday, October 24, here is your opportunity to come out and cheer your hooters on to their second victory. For many this will be the first soccer match they have ever seen, but whether a new fan or an old one, get out and root for your team on Thursday. 1 by Dick Myers, Sports Editor There was a question raised during the pas.t few days over last issue's 'Athlete of the Week'. The question concerned itself with the cho-ice of a man who stopped twenty-some scores in a losing game over a man who scored three goals himself in the first win. The answer is now rather evident, •b ut still needs •p ossible clarification. This is simple to do when one has concrete exam.pies to use. The game for which Bob Payne was chosen last issue's honored guest was played on Saturday, the last day of the week. Any athlete who ,p layed up to that day was eligible for selection to the award. The game in which Nick Giordano scored three goals was played last Wednesday and for which he is this issue's 'Athlete of the Week'. It's really quite simple to explain when one understands that last week's games had no bearing whatsoever on last week's award winner. In fact, Payne had been chosen before Wednesday's game had even been played. For all we know, he might have been the outstanding player of Wednesday's contest and then would have been this week's winner. The winners are chosen on Tuesday night - Beacon :publication night - for games ending the previous Saturday. That's all there is to it. For those who are curious about the method of selection, we must remind .them that the men so chosen in no way reflect the opinions of coaches, other players, or fans in general. The "Athlete of the Week" feature is a Beacon ,p roject, and the men honored are chosen by the Beacon sports staff. In that maitter, this writer has one vote, just as his reporters have. It is true that we often ask the coaches and other .p layers for advice in our selections, but these queries are personal, and as such, are only used as guides for the aid of one man in making his selection. THE SAME OLD PROBLEM The ,bowling leagues began with the College League rolling in an absence-studded night last Sunday. This is particularly discouraging to those who are responsible for the league's existence but is quite annoying .to the teams who had at least .p a1tial representation. Anyone who agrees to participate in such an activity has obligations to fulfill, if not to go to participate unfailingly, at least to give ample notification of their inability to participate. Out of the eighteen people who failed to put in an appearance last week, only two had notified their captains beforehand. It is true that this was ,t he first week of action, therefore, some confusion may have been the cause of the trouble. Even the members of the Faculty team were laoking in their co-operation. This is a good time ,t o nip the thing in the bud. There will be schedules posted and ,p ublished, team captains will be aware of all details regarding their nights of bowling, ,t hus we should e~pect no more failures, which may give the College a bad name with its community affiliations. Anyone - who .put his name on the .list posted on the bulletin board has signified his desire to be a :part of the program; it should not then be left to the directors and team captains to face the embarrassments to which they were subjected last week. MORE ABOUT AN "OL' COLONEL" Cliff Brautigan, formerly of Wilkes and now with .t he Jersey Sharks professional football team, suffered a shoulder separation in the game with the Venango (Delaware) Bears. It was the Sharks' second game of the season and their second win. Brautigan earned a starting berth on the 60-man squad as offensive tackle. Last week, the pros' coach cut the team Ito 45 men, but still carries Brautigan on the roster, which could be an indication of the wo1th of the former Wilkes athlete to the "play-for-pay" ,b oys. Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels will take a trip to Ursinus Ronnie Rescigno, who has been making news on the local scene, College in Collegeville, Pa., with nothing on their minds but has added the wire services to his their first win of the year. lis.t of news media.

Both Thomas and raffle chairmen Eddie Birnbaum and George Gacha are well ,p leased with the response that the Lettermen's RaQ'le has received from the student body · of Wilkes. The pri-zes offered this year are bigger an·d better than ever. The first 'Prize is either tickets for two to the Broadway play, My Fair Lady, or two tickets to the AnnyNavy game.

Though no official figures are available, returns have not yej; reached full ex,pectations, as many students have been absent from classes. Students who have not made their contributions as of today are asked to do so as soon as possible. The coHege's goal is $-3,850. Of this, the student body must raise $1,000. Each student is 11,~ked ,tq contribute at le11,st one dollar. In view of the many services one m11,y receive from the Uni j; e d Fup.d throiighout the year, t}lis is a smaJI amount to contribute tow11,r!i its support. The Uni.ted Fund has been organized with an eye toward eliminating the many separate fundraising campaigns held throughout the year in Wyoming Valley. Class presidents are acting as chairmen of their respective class campaigns, and h a· v e appointed committees, whose duty is to solicit ''d mtributions from individual students. The Freshmen have coliect ed ap.p roximaitely $135. The Seniors are also doing quite well.

Though :ticket sales have been good, some doubt existed as to the use of student activity passes. Paint Your Wagon will be featured four days, November 6~9, at the lrem Temple in Wilkes-Barre. Thursday has been set aside for students from area colleges. Season tickets are available, for the price of $5.50, which will .be good for the three productions to be presented by Cue 'n' Curtain: Paint Your Wagon, Witness For The Prosecution, and Holiday. The use of s rt u d e n t activity passes on one day only, will be followed for the three plays. At this time there is no indication that there will 'be any tickets sold at the door. Season tickets can be obtained from the Cue 'n' Curtain committee: Chairman Ray Litman, Betsy Hoeschele, Anita Braff, Ron Christman, Dave Roe·b uck, Mike Piccarrata. by Frank Gallia The Wilkes Biology Club is sponsoring a sport dance .t onight at the college gym, with all proceeds to be donated to the United Fund drive. Dancing will be from 9 to 12, with Al Anderson's band providing the music. Last year the freshman and sophomore classes introduced the practice to the college of sponsoring a dance for the benefit of the United Fund. The practice will be continued this year, under the direction of the Biology Club, at this evening's dance. Several novelty dances have been scheduled for intermission. Refreshments will also 'be available. The donation is fifty cents. The co-chairmen for the dance are ,Ronald Olshefski and Martin Tansy.

The title of this column is intended to indicate the policy of the writer (see dictionary). Just three weeks ago today, a small round object, literally hooting derision at the Free World, began its orbital journey into history. The U,S.S.R., using rocket engines with five times the thrust of the largest we have, launched a satellite or "Sputnik" weighing 184 pounds into an elliptical path varying from 170 to 570 miles above the Eaiith. This triumph coupled with the now undoubtedly successful firing of an intercontinental ballistics missile on August 26 has, at long last, jolted us out of the state of smug complacency into which we had been lulled by over-confidence in the judgments President Eisenhower and the deliberate half-truths released to us through a friendly press. Lt is now apparent that Russia is a technical grant second to no nation. It is no longer safe or relevant to rationalize her development of an atomic bomb three years before we expected her perfection of a thermonuclear device only a year after ours, and her successful release of an H-'b omb from a plane five months before us - by protesting that she stole our atomic secrets and used cap- tured German scienitists. The Soviet, by scrapping the latest Five-Lear Plan, has been able to concentrate on certain phases of science - relatively easy in a regimented society - and she now has the potential rto hit any spot in the U.S. with an atomic bomb. Neither the American p u b 1 i c, nor, I suspect, most Congressmen had any inkling of the scope of Russian accomplishments, so the largest amount of blame for the clamor for military budget limitations lies elsewhere. Although the -Central Intelligence Agency had no ,knowledge of the actual Sputnik launching until Tass, the Soviet news agency, informed a startled world, the administration had been warned in March of the ,p ossible launching of a Russian satellite in the second half of 1957. And according to Aviation Week, a respected technical magazine, U.S. radar stations had ,been tracking -Soviet missiles for two years. It is clear that our ipolicy makers (continued on page 6) NEXT ASSEMBLY Mr. J.

Homecoming Sports Program Starts RESCIGNO WINS CONFERENCE FAME, !!~n.!.~~lra Soccer Maleh al 10:30 GAINS ATHLETE TITLE THIRD TIME Tomorrow morning at 10:30 the Wilkes booters will meet the Hofstra soccer team in a match at Kirby Park. This match is in conjunction with the Homecoming activities and will be presided over by the Homecoming <),-.:.._Queen. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ This game is also the last home appearance of rthe Wilkes soccer team for this season. The hooters played their first home game of the season last night in a contest at the Kirby Park field. Because of the lateness of the maitch, and because the Beacon had gone to press, the results were not available for this story. Now back to the Homecoming match with the Long Island college. The Hofstra hooters went down before the guns of the Wilkes soccer team in last year's match by a 2-0 count. This year's edition of the Flying Dutchmen is a vastly improved club and has gotten off to a fine start this season. The team is coached by Paul Lynner and he has back all 'but two of last year's stars. Hofstra, after giving up soccer about a decade ago, have fielded a very good :team since they renewed competition in 1955. The Wilkes hooters are ready for a hard fought match and are expecting a fast contest. The Colonels suffered a setback this last week when Clarence Michaels came wp with a blood clot in his leg. This letterman will be lost to the hooters for about two weeks. Except for this injury, the team is in excellent physical shape. Coach _Tim Ferris has contemplated no major changes in his starting lineup for the Homecoming match. The defensive ,p lay of Colonel cocaptains Ed Masonis and Tony Bianco has been outstanding. Both halfbacks have been in the thick of every game so far. Coach Jim Ferris is depending upon both to bolster the backfield in the rugged Hofstra match. Again for the information of the spectators, the 'hooters' home field is located .b etween the tennis courts and the dike at the rear of Kirby Park. The Wilkes hooters are away for their next game next Wednesday at East .St r o u d s b u r g State Teachers College. In this match, the Wilkes team meets one of the best soccer :teams in the East. The Teachers team was the national champion in 1951. And this year's club is a replica of their usual strong teams; they pass well and are strong on defense. The Wilkes hooters have never defeated the East Stroudsburg :team, and this year's Colonels are out to break the losing streak. Ed Masonis Named 'All East' Back In Weekly ECAC Poll; Records 93-Yard Romp Ron Rescigno once again is the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week". The opinion of this paper's staff of sportswriters is shared by the sportsminded of the Atlantic seaboard, for he was named to the All East t eam of the week by the E a s t er n ,Colleg-e s Athletic Conference on the strength of his fine performance in the startling 39-0 upset of Ursinus last Saturday. Ron gained a total of 120 yards from scrimmage, scored two touchdowns, set u,p another with a 38yard breakthrough, and turned in the longest run recorded in any of Saturday's collegiate games. The run was started on the Wilkes seven-yard line when the speedy little hustler took the second half's opening kickoff, scooted up t he right side of the field, reversed his direction twice, eluded s e v er a 1 would-be tacklers, and outraced :the last two Bear saftey men to record * * * * * Ronnie Rescigno Est. 1871 ··rri!it •:;/Jt.

Most of the college's clubs and organizations have been busily iplanning and preparing their decorations during the past weeks. Following ere some of the displays which will be seen around campus. Members of the Biology Club are including a large, colorful tepee in their display. The decorations, which adorn the lawn between Chase Hall and the Library, include a load of dynamite, and the Wilkes Colonel is standing by, ready to ".b last off" the Lycoming Warriors. Theta Delta Rho girls are reSIJ)onsible for the decorations on the lawn in front of Chase. This display contains the Wilkes Colonel standing between two warriors. Two totem poles nearby convey the impression that the Golo_n els can turn the warriors into worriers. The musicians of Gies Hall have a display to capture the fancy of ell local space-enthusiasts. Sputnik is the central theme of this display, and from outer space Colonel Wilkes is spying on the Lycoming Warriors. The Economics Club display at tI_>ickering features the W i Ike s Colonel holding a football in one hand, and totaling up the score of the game on a calculating machine with his other arm. Names of our football players appear on the keys ·o f the ca l c u l at or. The chief warrior is seen pleading for mercy of the C o l o n e l, following the warriors' defeat in the battle. · . Sturdevant's e d UC a t O r S are -feat~ng a large blackboard de~icting various football players. Two football players are on the ~cene, both commenting on the g11me. In addition to these and other displays by cailllJ)us organizations, the dorms contribute much color to the local seene. : Sterling Hall is the scene of a· three-dimensional p i c t u r e of a warrior beating upon a tom-tom, with the Wilkes Colonel standing by, beating the warrior on his head.

Ron's performance on Saturday brought his total yardage for the year to a very respectable 338 in four games, which should place him high in the running for Conference leadershi>p in this department. Ron's selection to the honor of the Athlete of the Week was no problem in the light of the above honors, but the selection committee faced a perplexing problem this week. Ron would probably be the first to admit that the victory was a team effort. Were it the .policy of the Beacon to make multi-pie awards for members of the same Wilkes team, thre would be 18 men named to t he title this week. The team was superb both on offense and on defen se, but few will deny that Rescigno's leadership and fire inspired his mates to excell in such j a manner. For that reason, Ron was named this week's winner in , a close balloting over seventeen other great guys.

MATMEN TO DRILL MONDAY IN GYM Coach John Reese has issued the call for the grapplers to begin flexing their champions' muscles and report for workouts on Monday, October 28. S e v e r a I good men were lost through graduation last year and new material is needed to replace them. Coach Reese stated that be is looking for new blood to get some depth on his squad. He emphasizes the fact that no p1·evious ex,p erience is required, that men are welcomed to come out to the gym and give the sport a trial. There may not be a lot of newcomers who will make the starting squad at once, but they will be able to gain valuable e~perience and get themselves a good head start for later seasons. The Wilkes campus will be the wrestling capitol of the East this year, with the gym being the scene of two major tournaments. The firs,t of these will -be the annual Holiday Tournament, dubbed the "Rose Bowl" of wrestling which is attended each year by hundreds of wrestlers from Pitt, Navy, Michigan, and many other big schools. The other tourney will be the Middle Atlantic Conference championships, the tournament won last year by the Colonels. Defending Veterans' Air Reserve Are you a veteran? Do you need money? -Do you want to help your country as well as yourself? If your answer to these questions is "yes", you may be interested in a newly formed organization, the 8457 the Air Terminal Squadron. Meetings will take place one weekend a month ( 4 days regular base pay). There will also be an active duty tour, which will be held at McGuire A.F.B., New Jersey. It will last for two weeks and there will be 15 days regular base pay. The location of the 8457th Air Terminal Squadron is the Air Reserve Center, Wilkes-Barre, Penna. the title on their own c a m p u s should be more incentive for the Colonels to show the Conference what a fine team they really are. The team will be led this year by co-captains Jim Ward, 1957 Beacon Athlete of the Year, and hard-working Dave Thomas. These men, along with Coach Reese, are looking forward to a fine turnout, not only of freshmen, but men from all classes. Rosters will be published in a few weeks, after Reese has had a chance to evaluate his candidates and ,pick his 1957-58 squad. • ANY SALT worth his salt will gripe when told to paint a dull hull, varnish a vast mast, or swab a dank plank.

WILKES COLLEGE BLOOD DONOR DAY · Mrs. Roosevelt will speak at the AT RED CROSS CENTER - DF.CEMBER 4 (continued on page 2l I Yes, they are in the show! The Wilkes Collegians, musical ambassadors of good will, are entering the final week of rehearsals for their featured role in the Wilkes-Kiwanis -p roduction of Lerner and Lowe's Paint Your Wagon. The men have been :practicing an hour a day, five days a week; and several hours in the evening, three nights a week. The musical centers around a gr ou p of hard-wo,r king, harddrinking, hell-raising, fun-loving gold miners in the early days of the California gold rush. Needless to say, the Collegians fit perfectly in this role. The miners in the show are living in a Western tow of several hundred men and one girl, teenage daughter of the town's big man. The story reaches a high point when the first stage coach of the season reaches town bearing a much-awaited c a r g o of fifteen dancing girls. As the coach comes into view, the men await its final arrival singing_, "There's a Coach Comin' In". The miners sing five other songs, four of which continue in the same wild, rollicking manner. The other is the haunting baled, "Maria", the song of the wind. Most of the main s,p eaking parts among the male characters are held by members of the Male Chorus. Sam Lowe is the hard-fisted Jake, owner of ,the town's salooh. George Richards plays Morman Jacob Woodling, who brings two wives with him to further confuse the womanless miners. Stan Yurkowski plays the part of Steve Bullnack who wants to strike it rich and get home to his wife. His sidekick, Mike Mooney, is an Irrishman who wants to go north into the Redwood country to look for the lake of gold he heard about in Sacramento Mike is played by Dick Myers. Carroll Davenport hakes the part of Reuben Sloane, town ne'er-dowel!. who is a,lways in trouble. Fred Malkemes plays the owner and proprietor of rthe town's general store, Salem. John Salva is the square dance caller, and Larry Chooer plays "Doc". The musical written by Lerner and Loewe of Brigadoon and My Fair Lady fame is set in the mining town of Rumson during the gold !rush era. Marilyn Carl as Jennifer Rumson, daughter of the town's founder, and Wayne Walters as Julio, a Merican boy, share the romantic leads. Jerry Luft as Ben Rumon, the town's founder, plays the other chief role. All three have had previous experience in musicals, appearing in Bloomer Girl, the last musical presented at the college. The theme of the play centers around the woman shortage in Rumson. The ratio is now up to one hundred and fifty men to one woman. Jennifer Rumson, in fact, is the only female in rthe town. This idea adds to the confusion and comedy of the musical. A variety of characters have come to Rumson to try their luck at mining. Among these are Edgar Crocker, an Englishman portrayed by Peter Gale; Sandy Twist, a Scotsman, whose accent adds a humorous element to the musical, played by Gene Stickler; and Mike Mooney, an Irishman, portrayed by Dick Myers. Included in the other important roles are Stan Yurkowski as the rug.g ed and robust Steve Bullnack; Fred Ma Ike mes as Salem, the storekeeper; Steve PoJeskie as Pete Billings; and Cairroll Davenport a,s Ruben Sloane, whose stealing of gold from Pete Billings requires a Kangaroo court to be held. Sam Lowe as Jake, the owner of the town casino, falls in love with Nicki Rosenbaum, the leader of the Fandangoies, a grouip of can-can girls from Paris. The other dance hall girls are Jonell Carey, Gail Roman, Arlene Martin, Lanna Planitzer, and Josie Mieszkowski, choreographer for Paint Your Wagon. Josie also appears in a "•p as de deux" with Bob Evans. George Richards, the M o rm on with his two wives, Elizabeth and Sara, played by •P hyllis Judge and Marian Laines, respectively, brings a female element into the story. The musical arrangements have been made by Mr. John Detro,y , head of the music department, and the sets have been designed by Mr. Catha! O'Toole of the art department. Al Groh is director. The m u s i c a l will open next Thursday in Irem Temple. Student activity passes will be accepted only on Thursday night.

The students contributed only $611.39 this year as compared to $767.54 contributed last year. This contrast seems ridiculous since the enrollment has increased largely this year. Evidently enthusiasm was lacking this year. However, the senior class as in the past, was the outstanding group to donate to the fund since 75% of the class contributed to the fund. This is an example of class unity. We tip our hat to Ron Tremayne and members of the class. Another fine example of class unity was diplayed by the sophomore class which had 67.7% participation in the drive. This shows fine organization on the part of John Mulhall and his class council. Even the freshmen did fairly well. What hoppened to the juniors? What's in a Letter The other day a member of the senior class submitted an article to us severely criticizing the community's Philharmonic orchestra. The senior who gave us the article was representing another person on campus, the author, who requested to remain anonymous. When the publication refused to print the article, the author's "agent" told us to sign his name and print it as a Letter To The Editor. However, when we refused this request, the person became indignant and felt we did not treat him fairly. To clear up a few points, we ould like him to give our conception of what English 101 taught us about letters. We learned that a letter consists of three parts. First of all, it must be addressed to a person or group of persons. Secondly, it must have a body; and thirdly, it must be signed by the person or group of persons who compose the letter. We do not feel that we have discriminated upon this person, since we told him we would print "his" article if he submitted it to us in proper letter form. Patience is a virtue, and if certain individuals would stop to listen to reason, we might be able to understand each other much better than in the past. -Jan 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 ROVING CHIMERA by Fred Roberts On November 5, Pennsylvania voters will be expected to express not only their political preferences, but also to decide if the state constitution is to be amended to permit the state legislature to grant Korean veterans a bonus. It is important that the average voter give more than his usual attention to this issue. In order to vote intelligently, he should seriously consider these questions: First, does the Korean veteran merit the bonus? Secondly, If so, is it to the best interests of the general public to .g rant it? Although both major parties support the grant, and recognizing that I am calling down the wrath of local veterans, I must oppose the bonus. True, the veteran of Korea inten-upted his normal existence to risk his life in an unpleasant country, but he was after all, fighting for his own rights as much as for ours, and for pay, allowances, and postwar federal benefits greater than any other country's soldiery has known. Moreover, most did not go out of any sense of ,personal patriotism or sacrifice - they were drafted. If we are to r eward those who make personal sacrifices for the common good, perhaps those who do so by choice, such as teachers, social workers, ministers and civil servants come higher on the gift list. The Korean veteran does not deserve an additional r ecompense anymore than World War II veterans did, but, it seems to me that the answer to the second question should be the determining factor. The public would a ctually suffer, in the long run, rather than benefit from this unnecessary largesse. The state is now barely staggering a long under its financial burdens; to float an additional $150,000,000 ·bond issue would make it much more difficult to 1·aise monies for schools, hospitals, highways and other social necessities. The state, unlike the federal government, has only limited credit. Finally, opposition can be justified on a purely economic basis. It is unfair and ill-advised to put additional purchasing power in the hands of an already extremely employable group during a period of an expanding economy. That can only add additional pressure to inflationary tendencies. We must not again capitulate to groups furthering their own interests or to political organi'z11tiom, vying frantically for votes by backing these groups, Friday, November 1, 1957 Letter to the Editor ••• Dear Madam Editor: I would like to express my appreciation, publicly, to three young men who assisted me in changing a flat tire on Wednesday of this week. I don't recall their names, a I t h o u g h two of them attend Wilkes and the third works in the college cafeteria. On my way home last W ednesday, I stopped at the Hoted Sterling to pick up my son, a senior at Wilkes. Noticing the three young men standing nearby, I offered them a ride as far as Kingston Corners. While enroute on West Market Street, the flat tire occured. After parking ithe car safely near the curb, I proceeded to change the tire. Without any hesitation, the younl!' men helped me with the task and in no time, we were finished and on our way. Not remembering ,t heir names, I felt an open letter to the Beacon was the best wav of expressing my grateful thanks to these three young- men who in my opinion, represent the younger generation to the highest degree. Very truly your, Mr. John Sa1:aka 27 Myrick St. Edwardsville, Pa. Orchids to Alumni Congratulations to the Alumni Association for its fine conducting of the Homecoming festivities, which were the best of any in our mind. The members of the association who did the work of arranging the various events can be proud of the results they achieved. The "visiting firemen" from out of town say they really enjoyed themselves. And participation was very good; both among the alumni and students. Perhaps we shouldn't single out any individuals for mention, among all those who did the work of organizing the weekend, but we will mention Clayton Bloomburg, general chairman; Russ Williams and Lloyd Davies, co-chairmen of Friday n.ght's warm up party; and Dr. Shad Jones, dance chairman. Saturday was really a big night for Shad, for not only was the dance an outstanding sucess, but he also became engaged. The lucky lady is Miss Beverly Heuer of Chase, Pa. She is a worker for the United Fund. We count the Country Club dance Saturday night to be the finest we have attended since the demise of the Cabaret Party. Jack Melton and his orchestra played to a standing-room-only crowd of 300. The elimination dance was won by Ronnie Rescigno and his date. Nobody deserved it more than the'Runt'.

The Colonel ~oters turned in a hard fought 3-1 victory over a tall and expenenced Hofstra team. Sharp Offensive Play . With. Rugged Defense Responsible for Win The Beacon Athlete of this week, Joe Morgan, played a large part in .the soccer team's 3-1 Homecoming victory over Hofstra last Saturday. The hustling, heads-up iPlay of the Letterman right halfback was a main factor in the Colonel domination of the game. Morgan showed great drive and determination in both offensive and defensive ,p lay. His steady footwork started many Wilkes offensive moves and his rugged defensive work cut down many budding Hofstra drives. Late in the third period Morgan picked up a tired Colonel team and led them in dominating the remainder of the game. Morgan is a graduate of Girard College in Philade1'phia, class of 1956. He entered Wilkes the following fall. .While at the Philadelphia school he participated in wrestling and track. He won seven letters in the sports with four coming in his favorite sport of wrestling. Although Girard is known for its soccer team, Joe had participated in this sport only on an intramural level. But since coming to Wilkes he ha,s developed into a fine booter and has been a great help to the Blue and Gold squad this season. Besides earning a soccer letter here at Wilkes, Joe also lettered in wrestling with Coach John Reese's Middle Atlantic States Conference Champions. A nartive of Tunkhannock, Pa., he resides with his mother at 65 Franklin Ave. In his sophomore year, Joe is working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce and Finance. The choice for the award this tRAY'S RECRm·TS' HOLD PERFECT MARK Joe Morgan week was very difficult to make. Morgan won in a close ballot over two other athletes, one from football and the other from soccer. J. H. WILLIAMS SPEAKS Mr. J. Harvie Williams was the m a i n speaker at the Tuesday morning a,s sembly. Mr. Williams is head of the Alexander Hamilton Bi-Centennial Commission, the headquarters of w h i c h is in Washington, D. C. Mr. Williams' visit was a timely observance of the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of our greatest early statesmen, Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Williams stated that through wonder and analysis, one ma,y gain realization of the bearing Hamilton had on the formation of our Union. Elaborated points of the talk were: Hamilton's success in the Revolutionary War, work with the Continental ·Congress, promoting of national banks, and work at the Philadelphia Convention where his thinking reflected the fundamental With Ray's Recruits still undef eat ed and unscored upon, next week's action in Intramural touch football promises to be exciting. The Recruits will take on the second-place Vets in the game that may well decide the championship. Wrestling practice has obliterated the 69'ers, since they are now preparing to defend their Middle, Atlantic mat crown. Th e Freshman Six seem to ha,v e had difficulty recovering from their first loss, because they ha,ve not shown up for any more games. On Wednesday, the rained-out games of October 17 will •be played. The schedule: The Vets vs. Freshman Six, 69'ers vs. Gore Hall. On T h u r s d a, y, the rained-out games of October 24 will be made up: The Dirty Rotten Lowdown Hombres will play Gore Hall, Ray's Recruits are slated to ta,ke on the 69'ers. All t eam captains are reminded that they must have six men ready to .p lay before each game. This is the last week of action. Teams are requested to be present to finish the season with as much enthusiasm as was seen at the stai,t. framework of our Constitutional policy. Mr. Williams said, "This fundamental t h i n k i n g was the basis for our present day school of thought in government." Some other accomplishments of Hamilton's were: his appointment as the first United States Ca'binet member, position as ambassador to France, and his co-authorshi,p of George Washington's farewell address. The . match . was de!ayed fortyfive mmutes m startmg, because one of the cars of the Hofstra team developed engine trouble in the Poconos. Both squads were at full strength for the contest and the match moved at a rapid pace for the entire playing time. Through the aggressive play of halfback Joe Morgan and outside right Carl Ha·v ira the Colonels dominated the play for the entire first half and the fourth period. The Flying Dutchmen stai-ted their only decisive attack in the third period and through a slip of the Wilkes defense banged home .their only score of the game. The Colonels, opened the scoring in the early moments of the game with some beautiful ball handling by Carl Havira and center forward Nick Giordano. Giordano banged home the first goal on a beautiful assist from Havira . Late in the first iperiod Havira blocked a free kick ,b y the Hofstra goalie, Patterson, and the pressure was back on the Hofstra defense. Ivan Pappanicholas, freshman outside left, smashed home the second score from 10 yards in front of the Dutchmen's goal. Pappanicholas ended the Colonels' scoring in the second period by banging home a score from the side of the goal on a beautiful rd as~~! f~:s~;; ;:a~ came on a momentary relapse by the Wilkes defense.

The Blue and Gold booters dominated ·p lay by out-hustling and outfighting a determined Hofstra club. The Dutchmen's defense had too many mental lapses and they allowed their goalie to stand alone in the face of a powerful Colonel attack too often. The m en ta 1 la·pses on Hofstra's part can be attributed to the spirit and drive of the Colonel halfbacks and the faking and speed of the Blue and Gold forward line. The victory can thus be attributed to fine all around team play and stout defensive work •b y the Colonels. The booming kicks by Dave Polley, Ed Masonis, and Tony Bianco combined with the heads up .p lay of Cad Havira, Lou Davis and especially Joe Morgan kept the pressure on the Hofstra team the entire game. Davis, making his first appearance in the Wilkes lineup, showed great promise for the future. It was a great team victory for Coach Jim Ferris' hooters and was enjoyed by the fair sized crowd that did attend. ~ JOHN B. STETZ SPORTING GOODS - Expert Clothl• 9 E.

Your ol' Sports Spurter has come into a bit of criticism from "a female student at Wilkes College". Naturally, we get a great deal of criticism; we welcome it. This particular bit, however, we feel is not completely warranted. The complaint was registered about the naming for the third time of Ron Rescigno as Athlete of the Week, when many of the linemen and his fellow backfield men have also ,p layed good ball. First, gentle reader, it must be understood that the Athlete of the Week award is given by the Beacon sports staff to the OUTSTANDING athlete of the past week. It is true that the linemen and other backs have played some tremendous ball, but playing the assigned position well is only one of the criteria for selection. The man must show good sportsmanship, display exceptional qualities of leadership, and be an all-around morale leader of his fellows, in addition to playing well-or even superlatively. Is this undemocratic or unfair? We of the sports staff have had several difficult choices to make, particularly this and last issue. However, when ALL factors were added up, the game little guy was the winner three times. We still feel that, on those grounds, we were justified in our triple choice, critics notwithstanding. Observe this week's winner, who never made a headline, never made the scoring column, but exhibited superiority in each and every facet of his sport. We don't deliberately ignore the guy who doesn't stand out. We try not to omit anyone in our stories, but this is a regretable failure that keeps cro·p,ping up. We do, however, honor the man who stands head and shoulder over the others as did Joe Morgan on Saturday and Ron Rescigno three times past. NOTE TO LETTER-WRITERS The students of the College are invited to register any "beef" they may have at any time, but in order to have these letters published, the authors must sign them. The young lady who wrote the letter mentioned above has some opinions which others may well share, but she deprived herself of the opportunity to present those views, in full, to the others by failing to sign her letter. COPYRIGHT 1957 THE COCA·COLA COMPANY ,, ~Go to Gettysburg For Tilt Tomorrow The Wilkes College League, still suffering from poor attendance, showed two teams winning by forfeit in last Sunday night's bowling. The Bagel Benders took an automatic four-point win from the Faculty team when John Reese turned up as the sole representative of that squad . The Benders, rolling for average, rang up 1,334 ;pins. Allen Luster led with 141-393, followed by Larry Choper, 133-335; Jerry Roth, 134-332; and Merle Cohen, 109-274. Reese's solo performance produced games of 150, 129 and 167 for a 446 series. The Rose Tatoo's, who lost four points rtwo weeks ago via the forfeit route came out of the evening with an even record when the Uzzies .ga,ve them four points in the same manner. Joe Ackourey led the Tatoo's with his 162-452. Al Ulman had 158-419, Rose Weinstein ,rolled 147-395, and Fran Bishop had 145-374. The losers turned in nice games to boost their ave rag e s, even though they lost the match. John Sa,piego had 138, 149 and 156 for a 443 series; Jim Ross bowled a ver" respectable 471 on games of 163, 159 and 149. The most exciting match of the evening took place when the Teertotalers and the Sandbaggers collided and came out with a split decision, 2-2, on a.Jleys 1 and 2. Paul Katz. led the Teetotalers to a 40-pin win in the second game with his 204, hi!!"h game for the night. Katz had a 451 series. The Sandbaggers, who lost the las.t two games, rode on their 98pin bulge g-ained in the first game to pick up the fourth point on total pins. In that first game, Dan Lewis and Bill Duffy led with 164 and 16Q while th e Teetotalers floundered. S c o r i n g for the Teetotalers: Katz, 204-451; Hall Shaver, 156438; Dkk Myers, 152-421; and Ron Palaq,zi, 148-320.

Former First Lady Featured Speaker At W. C. Assembly by Dave Vann The student body and faculty members of Wilkes College turned out in full force today to hear Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt speak at the weekly assembly program. The program sponsored by the Wilkes Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations brought to campus one of the most personable speakers in the field of international politics in the world today. Mrs. Roosevelt, speaking about current events in the United Nations, gave to the audience a clear and concise ,p icture of the problems which are presently being fa ced by the entire world. Mrs. Roosevelt represents more than simpl y a former first lady t o the people of the world.

HISTORICAL PLATES ON SALE ON CAMPUS 'PAINT YOUR WAGON' OPENS OFFICIALLY AT IREM TEMPLE �2 WJLKm COLLEGE BEACON Thursday, November 7, 1957 EDITORIAL- Welcome, Mrs. Roosevelt Today ls another great day of historical significance in this year of Wilkes College's Twenty-fifth Anniversary Expansion Program. We are deeply honored to welcome Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt to the campus and to the comm.unity so that she can share with us her knowledge and understanding of the United Nations. Mrs. Roosevelt. one of the world's outstanding personalities, has worked tirelessly to insure the success of this organization. As a former president's wife, Mrs. Roosevelt played an unusually active role in the capacity of the nation's first lady as well as taking an interest in politics herself. A woman of many talents, she has written many works and has travelled throughout the world representing the American people as an ambassador of good-will. We feel that we are indebted to Dave Vann and members of the Wilkes College CCUN for making Mrs. Roosevelt's visit with us possible. -Jan THE ROVING CHIMERA by Fred Roberts The response to last week's article on the Korean bonus, rather forcefully impressd upon me the fact that this column has readers - many of whom do not agree with me. I do not feel it necessary to re-defend my arguments, but I ask my critics to re-read them to see if some of their angry charges of inconsistency and un-Americanism aren't unfounded.

Letter to the Editor ••• Dear Madam Edi,t or: Being a student of Wilkes College, I look forward to reading something of intellectual value in the Wilkes Beacon. It was with regret that I observed such a ridiculous and narrow-minded article as the one written on the validity of granting the vets a, bonus. I am quite sure that the author is sincere in his assertions, but I can't help being a little shocked that he doesn't believe that every individual, regardless of how small or meaningless his job may a,ppear, equally contributes to the welfare of the country. Neither can I understand the attitude that the men and women who, in time of war, have gone beyond their normal obligations and have sacrificed their time, careers, health, and even their lives should not be appreciated by those who were more fortunate. Howev er, if Americans have slipped to such a low level that greed transcends moral obligations, then, I must agree with the author that he should not vote for the bonus. Instead, he should crawl into his private, little hole, lock the door tightly behind him, and count his money, but I must ask him, as his dollar bills float to the floor, to remember the .p oor vet, with his insides shot out, who must live his last few yea.rs on the goodness of charity. Sincerely, Robert Battle 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 III --PERSONALS-•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Biology major Nick Giordano visited Philadelphia last Sunday to view the new medical center and school of medicine at Temple University.

Klawonn The Inter-Dormitory Council is busy making ,plans for a horsebackriding party to be held sometime this month. The ,p arty, an annual affair, will be followed by a picnic. Suggested dates for the outing are November 17, 23 or 24. Mary Rose Sidari, Allyn Jones and Nancy Wuester are committee members working on plans.

The three teams of Juniata's Blue-and-Gold had passed on and off the field at various points in the game and even the third string had managed to score, while holding the overtired Colonel "11" in check. Co-captain Ronnie Rescigno of the Wilkes Blue-and-Gold was calling the signals, carrying the ball and making his share of the tackles. And we would be remiss if we failed to note that his share is always a lion's share. Finally, the big-hearted little man tired and Coach Ralston sent in a substitute for him. What followed was one of the most gratifying scenes we have ever witnessed, on the gridiron, or elsewhere. As Ronnie trotted off the field the entire overflow crowd in the Juniata Stadium gave him a standing ovation, which lasted until he sat on the bench. When asked how he felt about the tribute, Ronnie commented that there were ten other men on the field who deserved just as much recognition. THEY CAME TO PLAY While there were more than 11 Colonels who did see action in the Juniata game, all of the players who were in uniform did not play. We don't think that this is as it should be. Certainly Coach Ralston had no hopes of pulling the game out of the proverbial fire with 11 men who had been battling two teams throughout the afternoon and were now pitted against a third. But still the men on ·the bench were not given a chance. VIOLA TES POLICIES It doesn't fit in with the athletic policies of the college, which are supposed to ,b e based on the participation of as many individuals as possible. The Wilkes athletic program has not succumbed to commercialism and its subsequent restriction of-c.. participation. But here we have another form of restriction and it's just as unfair. How can these players ever gain experience if they aren't given a chance? What does it matter if they don't do as well as the tired varsity - an extra touchdown or two would be no disgrace. At worst they would be playing against a third string team with little more experience than they had. Lastly, tired players can get injured more easily than fresh ones. To paraphrase somebody or other: It matters not the final score, But if you played in the game. IT'S A DOG'S LIFE Whether you call it Sputnik II or MUTTNIK I, everybody's got a yuk. The song writers have been racking their brains to come up with such gems as: How much is that Dog in the Sputnik? and You Ain't Nuthin' but a Dog Star. It seems that the Russians have been breeding dogs especially to meet the requirements of space travel. In that respect, the West is way ahead. We have Airedales. Scientist Dr. Bastress commented: "Think of it. A half a ton hurtling around up there." To which the more mundane Miss Millie Gittins quipped.: "Hope it doesn't land in our back yard." The satellites are somewhat reminiscent of some Wilkes students - going around in circles without knowing where they'll end up. Muttnik is probably responsible for the epidemic that's presently making the rounds - Asian flea. Some Wilkes students want to volunteer Sam Gore - Weckesser (or W eckesser-Gore, if you prefer) as the first passenger in the U.S. rocket. After all, he has the benefit of a college education. When asked his opinion of the plan, Sam had no comment. Millie would rather the Russians had sent one of their party men, preferably Kruschchev. She thinks its quite cruel to send a four-legged canine. Harry Moyle commented: "Look at all the dogs killed on the streets every day." Millie squelched him: "You look, it's messy." - SCATTERSHOTS Wonder when someone will come out with filter chewing tobacco?

SENIOR JOB SEMINAR , TOMORROW AT NOON by Bill Zdancewicz Seniors! The camfPUS Placement Office is offering something new this semester. To aid in preparing for future employment, seminars will be held on campus. The first employment seminar will be held tomorrow at twelve, in room 203, Pickering Hall. All seniors in the ·Commerce and Finance Department, majors in economics, liberal arts, mathematics, sciences, and English are invited ,t o attend. The ,purpose of this seminar is to a cquaint seniors with the procedure necessary to follow, in pre.paring for application into the field of their choice, before and after graduation. A discussion will be presented concerning the employment opportunities. Literature will b e distributed which will prove helpful in future interviews. These en1iJ)loyment seminars are very valua-ble in ipreparing college seniors for what is considered to ,b e their most important decision in life. Acquisition of employment with any organization is arrived at only through accurate preparation on the part of the individual. Thus far, a total of sixty companies have notified the campus placement office of their coming to Wilkes to secure applicants for employment. Seniors ,i nterested in applying for interviews with any of these companies, should maintain contact with the Placement Office for news of their arrival.

STATE HARVARD by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor The " Beacon" sports staff, unable to reach a definite agreement on this week's award-winner, went into a huddle with the coaches and after balloting came up with a . familiar face for the honor. This is the fourth time this season that Ron Rescigno has captured the title, an honor he rich ly deserves. Ron's p la y in the d'ismal 38-0 shutout in Huntingdon at the hands of the Juniata Indians brought forth peals of a,pplause from the ,p a, r ti s a n, overflow Homecoming crowd. Coach Ralston removed Ron from t he game after the final fourminute signal had been given. The "Runt" was limping slightly and visibly tiring after a hard day of some tremendous football. The fans gave him a standing ovation, even the members of the gigantic Indian squad gave him accolades · and ,p ats on the back. The fleet liittle <backfield a ce was bottled up time after time due to the smashing line play of the Juniatans, who never stopped their rel entless pounding of the nearly-exhausted Colonels forward wall, but he never quit charging. Ron's high standing in the Eastern Colleges Athletic Conference may have suffered somewhat as he gained only 20 yards in 18 carries, but there was just cause for the lo w output. Time after ,time, the s p e e d y tailback was forced to suffer large losses beca use the Juniata defense was just too powerful for the Wilkes line. He actually gained over 90 yards, but the pass attempt losses were his downfall. Ron is in his last year of collegiate football and has lefrt; !behind him a trail of magnificent foo1lball which mary never be equalled. H e has ca,ptured the fancy of football fans in every city in which the team has played. The press-boxes fairly buzz with comment every time the S•p eedster breaks through for one of his patented broken-field jaunts and coaches and v layers alike share the feelings of his fansthat he is one of the finest backs in t he nation's sm all college football.

The st udents viewed the manufacture of parts and the assembly of freight cars. In addition, they also toured the accounting department, whieh was almost entirely an IBM setup. The Berwick division of AC&F Brill, has 180 acres under roof, with approximately 3600 men em,p loyed. A rpea,k of 13,000 men were employed during wartime. Besides railroad freight cars, streamlined trains are also manufactured at AC&F Brill. The divisions of atomic energy and aircraft were restricted to visitors because of the confidential nature of production. The manufacture of shells is being done at the newest branch of the Berwick plant. As with most industries, diversification has become the policy of AC&F, Brill. .Students attending found the tour interesting and educational in light of production methods used in industry today.

BOOTERS EDGED OUT (continued from page 4) Gettysburg team put the pressure on ,t he Wilk~s defense and only the fight and dnve of the Colonels kept the score to one goal. The Colonel defense proved equal to all, except one, of the Getty~burg attacks. In the secon_d half the Colonels finally came ahve and through the aggressive play of Carl Havira ~nd Joe Morgan began to turn the tide of battle. Nick Giordano ban?'ed home ~he only Wilkes tally, m the third period. A penalty kick by Giordano was blocked by the Bullets' g.oalie but rolled free to the right s1~e of t_he field where ?ne of the ~1lkes lmemen passed_ 1t iback to Giordano, who boomed m a ?ea~ty from twelve yards out. This tied the scor~ and gave the Colonels a needed hft. The fourth quarter was very even un~il the_ Gettysburg attack g~t rolhng with les~ than four m1:1utes to play .. With but two m 1 nut es left, lmeman Ed _G_utkeuns,t banged home the dec1~mg sc?re from 25 yar?s out. Agam a miscue by the Wilkes defense allowed the score, for one of the Wilkes defensive backs got in the vision of Bob Payne, the Colonel goalie, and the ball was in before Payne could react to it. The Bullets turned back a last-minute Colonel drive to win a tight contest, repeating their victory of last season. It was a tough one to lose but even in defeat the Wilkes team looked good, with the play of Havira, Morgan and G i o rd an o standing out above the rest. Giordano's goal was his sixth in six games, a great average. The purpose of these semmars is to give information about the college courses in the fields that those students are interested in studying. The next seminar will present the opportunities in the careers in mathematics. Next week being Education w ee,k, it is fitting that the first seminar be for students who are interested in the teaching profesion. The activities of the conference will begin a,t 9 A.M. on Friday when the guests will register and have coffee with their hosts. At 9 :40 A.M. they will see the film entitled "No Teacher Alone". ,s o~e Wilkes students will make up a panel discussion on the topic "Why I Want To Teach". Afte; luncheon, Mr. George Ralston will give the main message of the conference and conduct a question and answer period. Finally, the guests will be invited to a coke party at Sterling Hall for relaxation and fellowship. Mr. Chwalek and Joseph Ludgate, president of the Education Club, request the cooperation of Education Club members to make this seminar helpful to the guests by talking with them about your interest in teaching.

SORORITY SPONSORS TEA THIS AFTERNOON I �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 15, 1957 I11111111111111111111111111111111 II IIII 111111111 EDITORIALS- Bravo! This week the Beacon salutes the four groups at the college responsible for the success of last week's musical production, Paint Your Wagon. The incorporation of the art and music departments, along with the Collegians ~d Cue 'n' Curtain, gave us one of the finest productions ever held at the college. Every member of the cast performed with the assurance of a professional actor and the singing equalled that often found in a Broadway smash hit. Likewise, the art department did an excellent job with the scenery. Attending suoh a performance makes one aware of the exceptional talent that we have on campus. However, we don't use our talent enough! For instance, many clubs and classes hire local dance bands for the regular Friday night dances instead of using many of the bands which are available in the music department. WHY LOOK IN THE YELLOW PAGES? Many of these same bands, which are so easily available to us, are in demand throughout the Valley in some of the most prominent business places; and other big colleges, such as Penn State, Lafayette, and Lehigh, hire Wilkes College groups for many of their important affairs. One of our bands has been hired to entertain the Governor on Saturday night at the ILGWU convention which will be held at the college gym. In spite of all this, our clubs and classes import talent to the campus. It is such a shame that we don't make use of our own talent more often. -Jan Your Help Needed During the past month several students have asked why we have discontinued the What-Where-When column which appeared in last year's Beacon. Our main reason for not printing the column is that we received little cooperation from the club presidents last year. Most of the dates and places of meetings or practises came from the leg work of the editorial staff, very few organizations bothered to come to the office and tell us their plans for meetings. We feel that since this column is for the benefit of the student body, the students should contribute to it and help us in not only making it complete but also making it accurate. We will print the column again provided that we receive the information on the Tuesday one week before the scheduled event or meeting. If there are less than ten meetings or events given to us, the column will not appear that week. -M.J.K. THE ROVING CHIMERA by Fred Roberts Last week this campus was much dignified by the presence of the outstanding stateswoman in the world today. I wonder iust how many of us recognize the greatness of this woman. Before Thursday, I would have doubted the justification of this extravagant praise; I must confess to having classified her rather vaguely as a super-do-gooder - rather naive idealist espousing high principles but never really accomplishing anything practical - an ex-president's cultured wife. But then I heard Mrs. Roosevelt speak. She picked a truly challenging subject - the need for world understanding furthered by the United Nations, the dangers of underestimating the U.S.S.R., her confidence in the American potentian, and her trip to Russia. It could have been a lecture in platitudes. It wasn't. She related personal experiences and impressions that were both amusing and interesting, but ,t hey were a great deal more than that. Those innocent - appearing anecdotes very concisely sum up the whole communist ideology and the dangers inherent in it that have been only sketchily revealed to us. The picture of Russian peasants lined up blocks deep for twenty years before the tomb of Lenin and now Stalin gives us some idea of their pitiful search for something to r eplace the "bourgeois" God that they had worshipped abjectly for hundred of years - it appears that at least the younger generation has found what they want because the churches are empty. The windows full of goods at exorbitant pri ce s illustrate the Communist principle of -p rice dietation in order to control consumer buying and thus channel resources into capital good production.

While in New York, John also visited Ann Bates former Wilkes student who is now a junior at Columbia University. Jerry Stein, '57 graduate and present student at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, returned to Wilkes-Barre s ever a I weeks ago to visit Evie Lebowitz, sophomore elementary education major. Mrs. Eleanor Detroy is currently appearing in the Europa Lounge singing selections from romantic musical comedies. Mrs. Detroy, the wife of John Detroy, head of the college's music department, previously appeared locally in several of ,t he Little Theater's productions as well as Girl Crazy, a college musicale. Neil Dadurka, president of last year's senior class, visited Wilkes last Monday while on leave from the U.S. Marine Corps. Three members of last year's graduating c 1 a s s, Pats" Reese, Norma Jean Davis, and James Alcorn, who are presently teaching in New Jersey, visited the campus over the Veterans Day vacation. Students assisting Mrs. Edna Stevens, publicity director, are : Janet Zieg 1 er, Jean Shofranko, Rosalie Huber Brothers, Dorothy Ford, Dick Myers, Cliff Kobland, James Hennighan, John Rinko, and Bill Zdancewicz. Dick Myers is in charge of sports publicity and Cliff Kobland serves as his assistant. Frank Cuscela, who received his degree in C&F last year is currently making 200% of his quota as a salesman at •t he Uarco Business Company in Newark, N.J. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nicholas announced that they are expecting an addition to their family sometime next spring. Mrs. Nicholas, the former Grace Major, received her terminal in secretarial studies from Wilkes last June. Mr. Nicholas is stationed with the U.S. Air Force in Florida. QUALIFICATION TEST DEC. 7 AT COLLEGE The National Security Agency is offering a Professional Qualification Test for students interested in careers in the nation's intelligence service. The test will be given December 7, 1957, at the college. Applications must be rec e iv e d before November 30, 1957. The examination is given in a single four-hour session. For further information and a copy of the brochure see Mr. Tener or Mr. Chwalek or write to Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. The expectant waiting by all Russians - even Khruschev himself, for new and better hospitals, planes, and houses, gives us some idea of how Communism can give the people just a little more than they had under the Czars and then satisfy them with ,t he -p romise of the "socialist soon". Most significantly Mrs. Roosevelt pointed up the striking contrast between Russian and American production of scientists - the production of inquiring minds may in the long run destroy the Communist dynasty, but will the United States still be in the race? Mrs. Roosevelt is far from a naive, aging ex-president's wife. She stands out as an example of all that is good and hopeful in internationalism. But, I wonder if her complete faith in American youth is justified, will what she gave us here be appreciated or will her idealistic confidence be betrayed as we •b rush aside and soon forget her words? I am frankly inclined to be -pessimistic. HOW'S YOUR SHOWCASE? Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt advised us last week to make ourselves "Showcases for Democracy". To that end she recommended that we have confidence, know our adversaries, use what instruments we have to support the United Nations and learn more about the organization. The former first lady also urged that more students take foreign languages, a suggestion which gladdened the hearts of Miss Sylvia Dworski and Herr Elwood Disque. The two language professors have been saying that for years. In the afternoon session, she went into more detail , :bout the Soviet mass production of scientists and engineers. :- ie U.S. lag in this vital area must be overcome in order to keep up with Russia. STARTED THINKING The talks started us thinking and we hope that a lot of others have been doing the same. Tuesday's assembly was a good followup to Mrs. Roosevelt's visit, since Mr. William Averitt is also well-informed on the world situation today. The two speakers have pointed up the possibilities of world progress through the U.N. Now it's up to you to make the most of it. How is your "Showcase for Pemocracy" coming along? PERSONAL DATA Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Brothers. Cliff, former Warner Hall resident, and Rosalie Huber had the marital knot tied by the Mayor of Phillipsburg, N.J., on Saturday. Cliff is teaching in Allentown, while Rosalie pursues her studies here. Welcome to the chili, folks! Rumor hath it that Carl Van Dyke, Beacon Athlete of the Year in '56, is engaged.

One of our favorite TV shows is sponsored by a sewing machine company. The story isn't very good, but the commercials leave us in stitches. Speaking of TV, we saw one Western that was so adult that even the horses were neurotic. One of the beer companies is putting out kegs that can be used for drums when empty; proving that you can have your keg and beat it, too. OVERHEARD He: "John cut me cold in The Commons this morning. He thinks I'm not his equal." She: "Why that stupid, brainless, good-for-nothing, square moron. You certainly are his equal." THE LAST SHOT HE~re's a last bit of advice to any optimists who may be left on campus: "One day as I sat musing, sad and lonely, without :x friend, a voice came out of the gloom and said: 'Cheer up, things could be worse.' So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse." -tim JOIN TBE COLONELS' CARAVAN �Friday, November 15, i957 WIIJCF.S COLLEGE BEACON 3 LETTERMEN ANNOUNCE PLANS THANKSGIVING DAY DANCE FOR CHRISTMAS FORM~~L DANCE TO FEATURE COLLEGIANS New Repertoire Ready For Social Functons And Year's Activities M.

MEMBERS PLAN EXCHANGE PROGRAM I by Bob Martin The Wilkes Collegians, f r e s h from their triumph in Paint Your Wagon, will face a busy schedule for the remainder of the year, according to director Sam Lowe. The popular chorus, which performed in over thirty concerts last year, already has many offers pouring in for this year. In two weeks, the ,thirty-nine man group will be featured here at the Thanksgiving Day Dance, I Sam Lowe which is sponsored by the Student Council. On December 12, the group will sing for the !rem Temple Ladies' Auxiliary. Many new songs have been added to last year's repertoire. Included in these are two stirring numbers, This Is My Country and the Pilgrims' Chorus from the o p e r a Tannhauser. In addition to these numbers, a beautiful ballad entitled Aura Lee, a western ballad, Cool Water, and a lively Russian folk tune entitled Russian Picnic will be f e a t u r e d by the Collegians. These numbers, added to the fine group of choral selections from the musical show Paint Your Wagon and last year's songs give the Male Chorus the best selection of music it has ever had. Bill Peters, sophomore music major, is ably serving as the accompanist for the Collegians, havjng been a member of the group since the spring semester. In addition to their musical activities the Collegians endeavoring to contribute to and co-operate with the school spirit movement, are planning to attend the WilkesScranton ,U. football game tomor-1 row. Following the game, which ithey will attend in a body, the Collegians will hold their annual winter outing. I BAUM'S ~i~:1b~\~~m:~!! t;~~~!:::iJ!!

This is the third successive week that the Beacon sports staff has had some lively discussions before deciding on the winner, but Nick's name was on all lips because of his outstanding play.

The league, in operation since October 14, had eight teams fighting for the crown in twenty-eight games. To the surprise of no one, Ray's Recruits have come out on top of rthe heap. They compiled a 7-0 record, more impressive is the fact that they allowed no scores against them all season.

The .Royals of Scranton, forty men strong under head coach Pete Carlesimo, :boast twelve returning lettermen. They have won two games this year against Albright and King's,, beating the latter by a whopping 34-0 score. They have lost to Middle Atlantic foes Hofstra and Gettysburg, both Eastern powerhouses. The Royals run from a T-fOJ'mation featuring the fine running of fuHbacik co-eaptain John Podkul and the bruising line-play of center Leo Broadhurst. They have suffered much from the flu and from injuries, but have shown plenty of fight when they are at full strength. They are expected to be at full strength for tomorrow's game. The Wilkes ,Colonels, fresh from their shutout of the Red Devils, boast a two win, five loss record, their best season in some years. They too will a pp e a r at full strength, although their numbers have shrunk to 20 since John Macri left the squad. These men have come to form a strongly-knit unit, however, as they demonstrated against Lycoming, Ursinus, and Dickinson. They have played outstanding football with their single-wing attack grinding out yardage and their defens e st o p p i n g many of their larger opponents' drives cold. With the brand of ball exhibited by the Colonels to date, it would not be too surprising to see the scrappy underdogs pull another upset tomorrow in n e u t r a 1 Bone Stadium. �WILKES COLimE BEACON Friday, November 15, 1957 FORMS AVAILABLE TDR CARD PARTY WEDNESDAY; FOR TEACHER EXAMS WM.

Formerly on the staff of the New York Herald Tribune, Mr. Averitt is presently affiliated with the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. The speaker was not a new one to everyone at the college since Mr. Averitt had spoken several years ago at a Wilkes Baccalaureate. The topic of Tuesday's talk, as suggested by the speaker himself, was "An Objective on the Present World Situation". The presence of the Russian satellites, "Sputniks I and II", was frequently referred to in the talk. Although, as Mr. Averitt pointed out, this singularly tremendous feat of the Soviets may tend to reduce American prestige in the other areas of the globe, it may also have a somewhat beneficient effect, in that it may serve to "jar" the people of the United States out of their so-called good old-fashioned American complacency. Peoples of the Soviet Union, according to Mr. Averitt, have always felt a sense of inferiority, or as the speaker describes it, a weakness, when faced with the progress and achievements of the Western world. As a result of this, the Soviets naturally feel a sense of hate and envy of the people of the West. With this in mind, it is not difficult to see why the space strides which they have made might ,p ossibly tend to instill in them a sense of strong confidence in themselves. .Perhaps this sense of security will serve to bring about better worldrelations in the near future by causing the Soviets to at least partially desist from their constant ridicule and harsh criticism of the United States. If this is done, then the S:putniks may not have been as had as the majority of us seem to think. On the contrary, the moons should serve as a warning to the people of the free world to ever be on the alert for new achievements and to keep up with their own, lest we all fall under the heel of a dictator so powerful as to he the complete master of minds and spirit.

I �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 22, 1957 II III II IIII111111111111111111 III IIIll II II IIIIIII EDITORIAL Nice Going Congratulations to the school spirit committee and the students of Wilkes for the fine demonstration of enthusiasm shown at the Scranton-Wilkes game Saturday. Even though the team was behind, the students kept cheering until the final gun went off, something that very few of ua have ever seen here at Wilkes. The lack of Scranton students at the game was surprising to us since the game was a home contest for the Royals. We may not have beaten Scranton on the football field, but we certainly out-cheered them in the ·stands. -mjk Lellers lo lhe Editor Dear Editor: The sidewalks on South Franklin and South River Streets will accomodate four persons walking abreast, no more. Of course, one realizes that the students at Wilkes College, going to and from classes, are much engrossed in their subject matters just learned or a:bout to ;be learned. However, one is inclined to think that if they shook themselves out of their deep concentrations long enough for the one on the end to "break ranks" to allow a mere passer-by to proceed without trespassing on someone's lawn or going into the street, it would be a very fine idea. There are many exceptions to the rule, of course, and as such no criticism is directed. A splendid impression toward the co I I e g e would accrue, were all of its student body to observe the rules of common courtesy on the ,public streets - and sidewalks. N eighborhood Resident Ed.

It will be quietly eliminated in 1959, with possibilities of retaining it virtually nil Therefore, we urge the Student Council to get busy with their planning for this year's Carnival and make it the best ever. Show the Administration by the conduct of this affair that the students deserve the responsibility of having it annually. Should these measures fail we suggest that a Spring Carnival be attempted in 1959. Such a plan would eliminate some of the main objections to a winter affair - the early nightfall, bad weather and dangerous roads. THIS IS THE END This is it. This is the final, absolutely last, concluding tale you will read about satellites in this column. It is reported that the Russians are attempting to develop a new breed of miniature sheep. When they have ten of them, the tiny sheep will be put in a rocket and fired out in space to orbit around the earth. So what? It will be the herd shot around the world. That's it. Please don't tell us any more, unless it's a good one. LET'S PICK ON TEXAS Since we've worked Sputnik to death, about all that's left is America's old standby - Texas. It seems that there was a lady sheepherder down in Texas. One day while she was dyeing some blankets in her yard, a careless sheep came gamboling along and fell into the tub of blue dye. She picked him out and he ran off, none the worse for his adventure, but decidedly blue. An oilman came along and saw the azure sheep. Thinking it natural and desirous of another few million (He wanted to buy Las Vegas), he offered her $10,000 for the beast. She took the offer and gave the sheep to the man. With an eye to a quick profit herself, she decided to dye another of her flock. Well, she sold that one, and another, and another, 'til today she is the biggest lamb dyer in Texas.

Art Tambur was ithe only Wii'kes ball-carrier who could pick up any yardage worthy of mention with 28 yards in 11 carries. Ron Palazzi picked u•p five in four carries. Wozniak and Rescigno were nailed for losses on several pass attempts and Wilkes ended up in the red on ground gaining. On the ground, the Scrantonians p o u n d e d out 261 yards while holding Wilkes to minus twelve John Podkul, senior fullback, led the ground attack with 71 yards in 14 carries, followed closely by Joe Belluci with 68 in 9 tries. After a well-played, scoreless first period, the Royals capitalized on a bad breaik when Ron Rescigno fumbled a pass from center and was nailed by Ned Panfile for a safety in his own end zone. Moments later, the ,R oyals scored a six-pointer on a beautiful twoman 90-yard run. Podikul started on his own ten, skirted his right end for 35 yards where he was hit by two Colonels. He flipped the ball neatly into the waiting hands of sophomore Tom Shopple who raced untouched for the TD. Just before the end of the first half, quarterback Vince Cesare threw to Shopule for a 62-yard touchdown pass play. The extra point was missed again, but the Royals led at halftime, 14-0. Early in the ,t hird period, the deadly arm of Cesare found open receiver Belluci and connected for a 22-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was good, •S cranton led 21-0 at the close of the third period. Third-string quarterback Mike Melnik, late in the fourth quarter, swept his left end on a lkeeper play and rolled ten yards to the final score of the game. The Colonels tried 21 passes and completed five for 86 yards to bring their total yardage for the af,ternoon to 73.

I Chuck Robbins - SPOR'PING GOODS 28 ·North Mam Street �Friday, November 22, 1957 s WILKES COLLEGE BEACON COLONELS CLOSE SEASON TOMORROW j Hoping for Third Win END OF THE GRIDIRON TRAIL j ,,.. by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor Tomorrow afternoon brings down the curtain on another football season. Once more we place our sacrifice on the altar of the gridiron gods. Eight times the gods have viewed the titanic struggles of the "Tiny Twenty", twice our offerings evoked the sought-after smiles and fickle Fate visited the Colonel scoreboard. Six times the gods frowned and willed that Victory alight elsewhere. The "Tiny Twenty" never noticed the abandonment, the priestesses in their scanty garb continued to exhort supplications from a neversay-die congregation, and the choir lifted its brass voice to the Olympian heights in hope of changing Fate's decision. Tomorrow we will try again after a disappointing service last Saturday. We were, however, treated to the heart-warming and gratifying sight of the Wilkes worshippers attending the sacrifice with droves of drivers in some thirty vehicles. We can only hope that such enthusiasm and spark will remain for a long time. Our prayers of "fight-team-fight" will not go unheeded, rather, they will aid a great deal. For some reason, last week's heart-warming display of zeal for the first ,t ime this season did not have the desired effect, but you can't get what you want every time and tomorrow IS another day. CA USES AND EFFECTS Lack of enthusiasm, though universal, seems to have no concrete basis. It is a national trend and a sign of a somewhat less easily excited generation. Here at Wilkes, however, we have been able to locate some inkling of the cause of local apathy for the sport. The student body on Tuesday asked why all of the "Tiny Twenty" were not given a chance to play ball, especially when things were such that even forty men would not help an obviously lost cause. The reply was somewhat less than exact. In fact, one observer was heard to remartk that the reply was "evasive"; another less polite term heard was "hedging". Lost in the comments about the inferiority of these pages was the admission that perhaps it was a coaching fault that allowed the benchwarmers to ply their trade week after disappointing week. Could that fault be the reason that the twenty-eight man squad has shrunk to twenty? The answer which informed us that those non-players are not seniors does not take into consideration the fact that the 60-minute men are only human, and as such , have the annoying habit of getting tired. How much grinding, gruelling, bone-crushing punishment can eleven men take, particularly when the opposite eleven dishing it out are not the same players throughout the game, but ones fresh or refreshed? How many weeks are the others to warm the bench before they lose all interest and desire? How Jong after they lose the desire will they decide to quit football? Merel y because they are not of the caliber and experi ence of the playing eleven is no reason to exclude them from gaining some experience, particularly when the starters are on the shor t end of a 38-0 score. Where else are they to get the experience? It is true that our t ender years may not have permitted us to gain as much knowledge of football as some of our superiors, yet certain inconsistencies appear self-evident and need public scrutiny. If we are setting up an athl etic policy of amateurism (praiseworthy in every respect) in which everyone is given an equal chance to participate regardless of skill, we defeat the purpose when we deprive some of the chance to get on the field and bang heads for a while. If used for no other reason, they should be inserted just to give the weary warriors of the "first t eam" a chance for a breather.

Much has been written about these men, many of the thrills 'on the gridiron ·during the past four years have been provided by them; Wozniak is the hard-running, hardworking halfback who shares the spot with Art Tambur, another of' the splendid backfield aces. Rescigno is known throughout the East as one of the finest_ com:, petitors in the sport, and Puma .is the recipient of this week's Athlete. of ,t he Week award (see page 4). · The four will lead the Colonels in tomorrow's game against the Moravian Greyhounds, who took a 45-12 win from the Colonels last year. The Greyhounds will be led from their T - f o rm a ti o n offense by quarterback Tony Matz, who, before last week's win over Wagner, had completed 8 of 17 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Paul Slifka and ·Rod Miller, halfbacks, are the I ea d i n g groundgainers along with George Hollen- · dersky, fullback. The team has gained over 1,000 yards in registering three victories: against two defeats. They have held their opponents to less than 800 yards and have one of the better pass defenses in the East. The Hounds have beaten Albright 19-6, Upsala 21-6, and Wagner. They lost by 34-13 to Lycoming and 6-0 to the powerful Pennsylva..: nia Military College. Their games with Lebanon Valley and Juniata were cancelled be-· cause of the Asian Flu epidemic. This will be the seventh meet1n~ in a series which has seen only one win turned in by the Colonels. With tomorrow's game closing· th e football books for the four seniors, it is hoped that they will be able to turn in a win to close on a. happy note. For such an occasion as the departure of some of the fin est football tal ent on the local scene in years, it is a lso hoped that a large crowd will be on hand to give moral support and show appreciation for a job well done. · !.t!.E FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 0-Wilkes Hofstra-14 0-Wilkes Lebanon Val.-21 0-Wilkes Ithaca-19 39-Wilkes Ursinus-0 7-Wilkes Lycoming-13 0-Wilkes Juniata-38 13-Wilkes Dickinson-0 The Colonel tan!kmen will meet 0-Wilkes Scranton-27 schools of the same size as Wilkes.

The event, the first joint council meeting, was ,planned after a previous invitation by the King's members could not .be accepted because of previous engagements. Presidents of the King's and Wilkes councils, Tom Hoban and Ed Kotula, hoped that this meeting would bring about better relations between the two city colleges. Both hoped that, perhap·s, sveral inter-college activities would be !planned in the near future. If the ,plan proves successful, it will be eJGtended to include some of the other area colleges such as Marywood, Misericordia, and Scranton University. The King's members were guests at a short council meeting during which they observed the operation of the Wilkes council. After the meeting, the members of both councils and other guests became acquainted at a social, during which they were able to discuss any prevalent ideas and plans.

OPEN LETTER To Wilkes Students Dear Students: Thank you for your support in helping us complete our two recent surveys concerning the possibility of sponsoring a dance with a "bigname" band. We have discovered that a great majority of those students who took the time to complete the surveys are in favor of having a "big-name" band. We hope to be able to use this information to its greatest advantage at some time in the future. However, we find it impossible, at this time, to sponsor such a dance which would r e q u i r e financial backing far beyond our immediate class treasury. .Nevertheless, it has been agreed that our class has .built the foundation for such an affair. We now intend to submit this information and the results of our surveys to the Student Council with certain recommendations that may enable that organization, with the cooperation of other groups on campus, to combine enough financial backing to make this project economically feasible. We sincerely hope that we will be able to create enought interest to make this dance possible within this school year. .Respectfully yours, The Senior Class Ronald Tremayne President 11111111111111111111111 I I Ill I II I I IIIII 1111111 Ill --PERSONALS-111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Steve Poleskie spent his Thanksgiving vacation in New York City as guest of Miss Allegra Kent, who recently was promoted to soloist for the New York City Ballet.

Another Mystery Solved After an absence of several days, Sam W eckesser-Gore (or Gore-_Weckesser) turned up at the Bookstore early Monday mornmg. It seems that Sam, in display of independence, had gone off on a tear. Perhaps he bit off a little more than he could ?~ew, _fo_r he came back a little chewed up himself. Milhe G1ttms, Dave Vann and George Elliot (Sam's mouthpiece") befriended the wayward waif and provided him with the services of a physician. New Diet Said physician confirmed the suspicion that Sam's ear had been host to a canine's choppers and provided the necessary medicants. The doctor also cleared up another mystery - Sam does not have worms! . _Since Sam is an independent cuss, he pays the price for his mdependence. His eating habits are irregular and when he eats, he overloads. Sam's stomach is like anyone else's, when he overloads it, it rebels. Therefore, the doctor recommended an occasional milk of magnesia, to make him "feel good again". Who Won? Sam had no comment when asked about the particulars of his altercation; he simply shambled off with a disdainful look that said: "You should see the other guy!"

The two Nimrods are Larry Pugh, senior C & F major from Hunlocks Creek, and his roommate Ken Evans, sophomore Electrical Engineering student from West Pittston. Each shot a four-point buck on opening day. The scene of the kill was Arnold's Notch, near Red Rock. Larry got his at 7:15 a.m. and Ken downed his about 1 p.m. Each buck weighed a,bout 140 pounds. Welcome Back We're happy to welcome the smiling face of Mrs. Jean Jones back to the Finance Office. She had worked there for many years and has returned following a long absence. Also we'd like to urge Mrs. Joan Ostrowski to get well soon, following an operation at the Mercy Hospital. Joan also works in Finance. With the Finance Office having such a difficult time with illnesses, it has been having a hard time keeping up with things.

Pete was selected for his sparkling line ,p lay in ,t he Moravian game. The six-foot, 176-pound guard is the first freshman to get the award this year and is also the first line- man to be honored. His fierce defensive play stopped several of the Greyhounds' backs before they could get scoring drives under way and his fine offensive drive opened gaping holes in the Hounds' line ,t o enable Colonel ballcarriers to run through. The Clarks Summit native has been a 60-minute man in the last eight games, and played all but two minutes of the season opener at Hofstra; a total of 536 minutes out of the 540 ·p layed by the team throughout the season. Pete came to Wilkes highly recommended by former Wilkes Pete Winebrake (continued on page 4) iwilkes Whips Warriors Ion Wednesday, 74 - 59, ~~!""ing Bombers 1 !f!~~ The Colonels waited ten years to do it, then went about it in very thorough fashion, trimming the Lycoming Warriors, 74-59, Wednesday night at Williamsport. "Big George and Little George" (Morgan and Gacha, that is) handled the bulk of the scoring with 22 and 16 points. Fran MikoJanis followed closely with 14 and Eddie Birnbaum added 11 points to his usual all-round fine team leadership. The Colonels now have two wins in their first two games of the season. Last Monday evening, several hundred fans were present for the cage season's opener. They were joyous and they had something to be happy about; their Colonels were playing top-notch basketball, winning 100-87. During the first half most of the scoring was done from the outside and the corners. Ithaca was strong on rebounds, forcing the Colonels to make their first shots count, which they did with amazing accuracy. Bernie Radecki kept shooting and hitting from the right corner, George Gacha threw his tantalizing one-hander from the left, while Fran. Mikolanis picked up the loose • balls and swished them through the . h oop. Ed Birnbaum directed the attack; George Morgan kept the Bombers i busy guarding him, allowing the outside men to shoot. Mainly through the efforts of Ithacan Dick Slomkowski, the halftime score was knotted at 45-45. Slomkowski scored 18 in that half from all angles and ended with 26 for the night. In the first few moments of the second half, Wilkes took a fivepoint lead and stayed in front throughout the game. The Colonels' accuracy was undiminished and George Morgan got loose under the boards and began hitting. He scored 22 points in the second half and ended with 28. Bernie Radeciki had 22, Gacha scored 19, Fran Mikolanis 18, and Birnbaum hit five out of eight attempts for 10. Bob Turley, who played only a few minutes, chipped in with three points, two of which put the Colonels at the century mark. AL-ley Chatter Overheard in the locker-room: George Gacha standing, dripping . wet after his shower, on the scales: "Look coach, I lost six pounds getting into shape for the season." Little Coach Eddie Davis looked up and replied, "I lost six in the first half tonight." I What Makes lbp Corn lbp? Popping corn contains water. When the water gets hot enough, the kernel explodes.

On ,t he following Sunday, the Campus League winds up with the Aces meeting the Goofers, the Kampus Keglers playing the Bohemians and the Foul Ups bowling the Sputniks. COLONELETTES SET FOR OPENING GAME The Wilikes College Colonelettes will travel to College Misericordia next Wednesday night to open their '57-'58 basketball campaign. The girls have been practicing hard and have what looks like the winning combination for this season. Although the gals have never managed to turn the tables on 'Misery', the team feels that there is no time like the present for an upset. The Colonelettes' chances for a good season have been bolstered by the return of six of last year's starters. Adding to the team's strength is a group of ten enthusiastic freshmen recruits. The guards, as in the past, are rthe strong point of the team. Led by stellar guard Barbara Federer, they will use the man-to-man technique in trying to hold the oppositions' score down. Returning guard Karen Karmilowicz and freshman Ellie Lazarus are probable starters. Mary Darling, Elsie Ohnrnach and Sharon Parnett will pro.b ably see plenty of action as guards during the game. Several freshmen forwards have c a u s e d keen competition for starting positions for the Colonelettes' offense. The frosh, Nancy Davies, Sylvia Trewern and Beverly Major, have been playing hard and fast in practice anq hav~ ho~ of doing some . scoring ~t . Misen""::. cordia. · Returning forwards Janet Cornell, Grace Sheasley, Bernadine Vidunas and Marion Klawonn have had to do a "little extra" in order to hold their -p ositions on the team. Marion was last year's individual game high scorer with 15 points against M a r y w o o d in a losing cause. With plenty of rei:;erves and high spirits, the Colonelettes should turn in a creditable job. PETE WINEBRAKE (continued from page 3) backfield ace "Pinky" Pinkowski, now head coach at Clarks Summit. While at the upstate school, Pete won three letters in football, played in the Lions Club "Dream Game", was All-Scholastic in Lackawanna County, and received Honorable Mention for All-State honors. He prepared for college by following a college prep course at Cla1,ks Summit and is enrolled at Wilkes in the ,B usiness Administration course. He lives in Butler Hall. Pete is also known as quite a baseball player, having won two letters while catching for the high school team. He expects to try out for a posi,tion on the Colonels' nine when Spring rolls around.

We felt that since Poleskie has had several of his productions in national magazines, we were doing him an injustice by publishing cartoons created by national agencies. To date he has contributed an amusing bit of his talent to the paper for the past several weeks, and many students have informed us that they enjoy this new addition to the publication. Poleskie is one example of the large supply of talent which we have available on campus. Since the Beacon is a student publication, we welcome any creative ability suitable for a college newspaper, and we encourage students to submit their work to us. We can be reached at the Beacon office every Tuesday afternoon or on Fridays at noon to discuss new ideas for features or other additions to this paper. -Jan by Fred Roberts Early this fall young Dr. Goheen, the new president of Princeton University, issued in one of his first official actions what is destined to be one of the most controversial statements of his career. He withdrew the sanctions and privileges granted by the University to Father Hugh Halton, Catholic chaplain at Princeton; explaining, "Under claims of advancing the pursuit of truth he (Halton) has resorted to irresponsible attacks upon the intellectual integrity of faculty members. For tactics of this sort, no university devoted to freedom of rational inquiry and debate need make a home." Enough time has passed to al-1 low an objective appraisal of both sides. Hugh Halton, a Dominican priest with an Oxford degree, was appointed in 1952 to replace .t he respected Roman Catholic Chaplain who had held his post for 25 years without an iota of criticism. But, -Fathe.r Halton was not so amenable; he soon became a very vociferous critic of the whole Princeton climate. Behind his attacks lay a sincere .b elief that Princeton was destroying the Catholic ideals of his charges - doubts have long found fertile grounds at Princeton. Ha1ton was no demagogue although he claimed several times that "the teachings of some professors at Princeton are doing more harm than all the writings of Karl Marx taken together," that Jacques Maritain the noted scholar must not be allowed to speak in his chapel because he "does not have a very sound philosophical background," and that Princeton is a center of "moral and political subversion." He made these rather extreme statements and many others not for personal aggrandizement, but because he really believes them and felt they should be voiced. Father Halton resembles in many ways the medieval religious zealot. He assailed from the pulpit and in lectures throughout the East the very foundations of the Liberal Establishment. He very pungently attacked Dr. Stace, an atheistically inclined Princeton philosopher, as a dangerous teacher of metaphysics, and Dr. Elderkin, a harmless old ~cholar _who had written some anh-Cathohc pamphlets. Dean Taylor, the revered head of the Graduate School and a Catholic, complained to Halton's Bishop about his ridiculous charges. The Bishop offered no . satisfaction. The crowning indignity from the administration's point of view was Halton's criticism of the invitation to Alger Hiss to speak on campus. President G o h e e n had Halton "stripped of any official standing in Princeton University," to prevent his further use of Princeton connections to draw an audience and to provide the Catholic students at Princeton with a more acceptable chaplain. The action is not so extreme as it sounds for Halton continues as director of the Aquinas Chapel on campus, and it may be a long time before he is removed. His removal has been blown up all out of proportion by conservatives seeking ammunition, but it cannot be denied that it was poor public relations on Princeton's part. It denies the very principles that the university is built on - the freedom to hold dissenting, unpopular, even illogical views and to be held to answer only to argument, no unreasoning force. Halton could easily have been answered .b y calm, logical argument as was his dessert, but he should --PERS Of . - .-,SJUN Friday, December 13, 1957 1ll1111111111 . s -- lll111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Student members of the Wilkes I Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce assisted the Jaycees last I Saturday in their annual collection for the "Orphans Shopping Tour".

COLONELETTES DEFEATED by Jim Eidam The site for the annual Winter Carnival was selected at a recent meeting of the college's Student Council. ·Bo.b Morris, general chairman of the Winter Carnival, informed the group that four sites were available to hold the winter outing. They were: El Pocono Dude Ranch, Mount Airy, Twin Lakes, and Pocono Mountain Inn. After considerable discussion as to which site best suited the needs of the group, Ron Tremayne moved the Pocono Mountain Inn he accepted. The motion was s e c o n d e d by Pat Sanders, and voting by the group passed the motion, eight to six. Pocono Mountain Inn will be contacted by the Student Council in order that further arrangements can be made. The Winter Carnival will be held on ·January 23, 1968. Everyone has heen asked to cooperate to make this affair a success. In addition to matters pertaining to the Winter Carnival, the group was informed .that plans for the student showing of "Around the World in Eighty Days" failed to materialize. ·President Ed Kotula reported to the group on the success of the recent All College dance and commended the various committees for the work they had done. Plans were furthered for another Student Council-sponsored dance, scheduled for January 4. Various committees were appointed.

That mark, coupled with the last two wins of last year, equalled Wilkes' record for consecutive wins at six. J.n Wednesday's game, Morgan and Turley both shared the bulk of the scoring and waited until the second half to do it. With eight minutes remaining in the game, Morgan went out on fouls with 23 points on six goals and 11 fouls. Turley had 14 on 6 goals and four free throws. On Monday night, the Colonels hit a hot final period at Moravian, George Morgan 0 ~:or;e t::;ga : ,;!s ~r!:!\eh~~: with 21 on six goals nine foul shots. Gacha now has '90, Morgan 119 in five games. Last Saturday night, in the nightcap of the year's first sports doubleheader, the cagers finished strong to whip a fine Dickinson squad .by a 96-81 count. Gacha was the high man in that contest with 27 points, Morgan had 26, Bernie Radecki hit for 18, and Fran Mikolanis chipped in with 16. The sensation for the visitors was Wilkes-Barre's little John Valenti, who popped in twelve beauties from the field to lead the Red Devils with 24 points. The 6-7 junior was assisted by Ray Weaver who tallied 19 ipoints in the losing cause. With the exception of Wednesday's loss to the Bombers, :the Wilkes team has shown the finest of offensive plays, are sharp on defense, and lack only some control of their opponents' boards to run this season into the finest ever seen at Wilkes. The prospects for future seasons are equally bright with such sophomore standouts as Bernie Radecki (see Athlete of the Week story on page 4), Fran Mikolanis, and the great little "Mr. Outside", George Gacha. Freshman talent looks promising, indicating many good things in seasons to come. came from a 61-6-0 deficit at the three-quarter mark, and went on to take a five-point win for their LEWIS· DUNCAN fourth straight, 77-72.

Last week the men of the dorms went into the final round of competition in the inter-dormitory basketball rivalry. The men of Butler Hall, who call t h e m s e 1 v e s the "Bombers", came out on top of the heap after the final whistle had sounded. The Bombers met some fierce competition, but high-scoring " Togo" Palazzi, aided by the fine floor play and generalship of team captain Warren Schmid, pulled the Bombers through the rough season. The two were ably assisted by the other Butler men on the team. They are : Ken Slaody, Don Lewis, Tom Thomas, Larry Mezer, Paul Bliefer, and Ray Keller.

Parting Praise "fun's Parting Shots" appears for the last time in this issue of the Beacon since its author, Tom Myers, will graduate at the end of the semester. We feel that the Beacon is losing its greatest asset in Tom because as Business Manager, past editor, and loyal staff member, he has contributed more to this publication in the past two years than we believed we could expect from any individual. Tom and his assistants have built up the· Business and Circulation staffs to function more efficiently than they have throughout the past several years by performing their duties promptly. Besides managing the Beacon's financial responsibility, writing his weekly column, and working on the side this semester, Tom has gone out of his way to help us with the mechanical make-up of the paper every Thursday and Friday at Schmidt's Printery. We could not possibly find the space to list all of the ways Tom has assisted the paper during the past two years, and we could not possibly express our true feelings of gratitude to him. We are happy for Tom that he will receive his degree and will be able to further his education, but we are sorry to see him leave Wilkes College and the Beacon. -Jan THE LAST LAP (continued from page I) that you have everything - don't forget to get that eraser while you're at it - pick up everything and start reading the exam.

You say your' leg went to sleep? Well cross the right one over the left now and try that. ·· Everything should be fine now, unless you happen to get a twitch in the middle of your back. If this happens, the best remedy is to get up and retrieve that question sheet that fell off the board and slithered half way across the gym floor a few minutes ago (it's time you were on the next question anyhow). If you are the loquacious type, you may have the misfortune to need another blue book. Sit on the first one so that it will not slide, slither, or slump to the floor in a heap of sawdust. Don't forget to hand it in when you are finished! Remember the night before, when you were cramming and moaning because you had loafed all semes~ ter? You said, "He would never ask anything on that!"

This affair has been held annually between semesters to give the students of Wilkes a chance to relax and to enjoy the Pocono Mountains. For your enjoyment this year, an extensive program has been arranged; to insure success, however, everyone should participate in the planned program. With your cooperation this Winter Carnival can be the most successful ever held by our student body. Individual integrity can often be lost in a crowd. The Council, therefore, has agreed that while no ultimatum of any kind concerning conduct is necessary, the members will co-operate with th e chaperones in preventing any incidents which might require disciplinary action. The weather in the Poconos is always unpredictable; therefore, we urge everyone to be particularly careful while driving to and from the Pocono Mountain Inn.

A~ N. KRUGER NOTICE The next issue of the BEACON will appear on the first Friday of next semester, January 31, 1958. by Bill Zdancewicz The third edition of The Directory of American Scholars, published recently, contains the biography of Wilkes' noted Director of Forensics and Associate Professor of English, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger. Known for his work in the field of debate, Dr. Kruger has coached the Wilkes debate teams over a ten-year span to a record of 350 victories in 500 debates. The debaters have gained individual honors over the years, as well as bringing many honors to the college and the community. Among the many tournaments won by debaters under Dr. Kruger's tutelage are: Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Princeton, Bucknell, District Seven, and the State Championship of Pennsylvania, the latter of which his current team holds. His honors of debating coach also include the fact that his teams have regularly qualified in the seven-state area of District Seven for the National Tournament held Dr. Arthur N. Kruger annually at West Point. In addition, during 1955, Wilkes placed second in the nation and last year, both team members ,p laced among the top ten debaters in the country. Dr. Kruger received his A ~B. degree in 1936 from the University of Alabama; and later received his Ph.D. degree, in 1941, at Louisiana State University. Before joining the faculty of Wilkes College, he spent four years in the United States Army, serving as an officer in the Signal Intelligence Service and in the Office of Strategic Services. Prior to his army service he taught· at North Carolina State University. Many articles, written by Dr. Kruger, have been published on such topics as language, logic, and debating. These works have appeared in various journals, including The Pennsylvania Speech Annual and The Bulletin of the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges. Several articles have been c onside re d required reading for students of public address and debating. At present, Dr. Kruger is writing a text book on debating, which will be published by the McGraw-Hill Corporation. The Wilkes professor is currently editor of the annual Bulletin of the Debating Association of Pennsylvania Colleges and has served as past president of that organization. His v a r i o u s professional memberships include: the National Council Teachers of English; the American and Eastern Forensic Associations; and Phi Delta Kappa, the National Professional Educational Fraternity. Three years ago Dr. Kruger's biography appeared in the fifth edition of Who's Who In The East. Dr. Kruger is married to the former Eleanor Weisbrot.

ON CAMPUS [the lead roles of the defendent, by Bill Zdancewicz Leon~rd Vole and Mrs. Vole, re- by Fred Roberts THE ROVING CHIMERA A few weeks ago I had an opportunity to observe not only at first hand but in the first person the subway strike in New York City, and despite the remarkable friendliness and camaraderie of the subwayites, I then agreed wholeheartedly with the New York Times when it thundered editorially at the recalcitrant strikers. The Motormen's ,Benevolent Association in concert with other independent craft unions had walked out demanding separate recognition from the New York City Transit Authority, a three-man city-state agency that operates the subways. The Authority had refused to deal with any but the Trans p o rt Workers Union of Mike Quill. This issue of craft or industrial union and consequent sole recognition came to a head in November when a private fact-finding panel supported the Authority policy even though Authority intervention in labor relations has no legal sanction under New York State law. The craft unions struck when it was most effective - during the Christmas retailing season - the. department stores are said to have lost over 2 million dollars a day during the eight days of the strike. Governor Harriman and Mayor Wagner, both in a curious position because they get considerable political support from union members, refused either to deal with the issues of the strike until the motormen went back to work or to enforce the state law against strikes by civil employees by firing the strikers. But, because of tremendous public pressire, they had to do something and Mayor Wagner imprisoned some of the strike leaders and sent threatening letters to the strikers themselves, - but to little effect. Upon assurances by Republican leaders seeking political capital that the TWU's bargaining monopoly would be investigated by the state legislature, the motormen went back to work. On that day a representation election was held and Quill's TWU could muster only 10,029 of the 32,329 eligible votes or 67% of the votes cast as compared to 92% in 1954. The strike raises several important issues, .p articularly since the ineffective enforcement of the Condon-Wadlin anti-strike law led to the threat of another strike by Quill himself. Considering the MBA's position more objectively than I had, I am inclined to agree that men should TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Pric:. To Studata 198 SO. WASHINGTOlf n. BAUM'S have the right to belong to the union they want despite the inconvenience it would cause the Authority. The various jobs in the subway ranging from porter to motorman to electrician are different enough to argue against lumping them together under one horizontal union, particularly since there is such strong sentiment against it. The second question concerns the right of the subway workers to strike. The strike was settled without applying the anti-strike law, but the inaction of Governor Harriman and Mayor Wagner, nevertheless, called into view its inherent ineffectiveness - Harriman even went so far as to call it impractical. This failure of law gives me considerable misgivings, but the more basic question is, is it a good law in the first place one that merits enforcement? The theory is that a .p art of the people should not be allowed to strike against the state, which is all the people, because necessary civil processes would break down. It has been tacit ·public policy since Calvin .Coolidge's rigorous denunciation of the famous Boston police strike that every means would be used to prevent or break a civil servant strike. I do not accept in total, this principle which is in fact a denial to a selected group of an effective means to achieve its rights. There is no essential difference, at least in this case, between civil servants and any other worker who serves the public. Trainmen, longshoremen, and truckers, with certain restrictions may use the strike as an economic weapon, and they all seem as n e c e s s a r y as subway workers. I realize that transit workers are included under the law because they are legally civil servants, but I would advocate a much more restrictive definition including only the most essential civil employees such as •police, firemen, perhaps postal employees, and of course, elected officials. I propose simply, the removal of the onus of illegality from some types of government employee strikes. The senior class will present their third annual Beard Dance on Friday, January 31, in the college gymnasium. Plans are being made to make this forthcoming affair representative throughout, of the gay nineties. Indications around campus are that the men of Wilkes are really Ronnie Tremayne letting the "fuzz" grow, in hopes of getting in on one of the four prizes to be awarded. Judging of beards will be done in four categories: best combination beard and moustache, best moustache, best beard, and best "peach fWlZ". Don Wilkinson is general chairman for this affair. Assisting Don are: Rita Matiskella, tickets; Mary Mattey, decorations; Ed Kotula, program and band; Ron Tremayne, prizes; Clarence Michael, refreshments; Don Wilkinson, judges; Bill Zdancewicz, publicity. spectively. Other !'Ilember_s of. the cast are: Fred Wh1p~le, Sir Wilfred Roberts (the Queens Counsel); Jerry Luft, Mr. Myers; ~obe~t Stevens, Mr. May~en; Jac.~1e Ohv~r, Janet ~ackenz1e; Man,~n Christopher, the other woman ; Charles Slease, Inspec~or He~rn~; and Steve Cooney, Justice Wamnght. Individual student tickets, at the price of one dollar apiece, will be on sale at the college bookstore and may be purchased from the following committee: Ray Litman, chairman; Betsy Hoeschele, Elizabeth ("Mugs") Cobourn, Pat Ide, and members of the cast.

Instead of the paper receiving help from a large number of sources on the campus, we have largely depended upon a handful of faithful staff members to see us through every week. When the time comes to apply for the top positions on the publication, however, we receive letters of application from people who drop in to say hello occasionally or from people we have never heard about. Letter to the Editor .•• Madam Editor: In the last issue of the Beacon (a long three weeks ago) our Roving Chimera, Fred Roberts, reviewed the recent subway strike in New York City. He drew two conclusions in his article. First, the Condon-Wal din anti-strike is impracticable, and the "onus of illegality from some types of governNOW IS THE TIME employee strikes" should be Now is the time to start working for a top position, not in ment removed.

The issue of representation by a college newspaper. Quill's Transport Workers -jan Mike Union or by the independent craft unions is actually the old problem of the industrial vs. craft union movement. Fred stated that "this issue of craft or industrial union and consequently sole recognition came to a head in November when a private fact-finding panel supported the Authority (New York Transit Authority) ,policy even though Au1 thority intervention in labor rela. tions has no legal sanction under New York State law." This is a most interesting anaby Fred Roberts lysis. What Fred passes off as a "private fact-finding panel" was An astounding process is being developed by the same described by A. H.

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Bill Zdancewicz Welcome! Welcome to the new students who have joined our ivy surroundings and welcome to the new semester. With open arms (and minds) we enter another round of studies, with the anticipation of rising to success by the final bell. In any event, we hope the change will be better. Beginning with this issue, the Beacon's face will be changed a little. A new column, hereafter known as The Beacon Monitor, will present bits of information about campus personalities, activities, quotes, wit, and other items of interest. Our thanks to Steve Poleskie for designing the appropriate masthead for this column. The abstract design represents one student passing on 'info' to another person, and the reporter on hand to get all the low-down. Thanks once again Steve. Good Times The Winter Carnival is over but the memories linger on, and we might add, pleasant memories. Student Council reports that participation in the events that were scheduled was very good and everyone se~med to have have enjoyed himself. Portions of the Carnival were televised and shown over WBRE-TV the same night as the Carnival. (By the way) - Several weeks before the Carnival, the Student Council met and they had a long discussion as to the selection of a suitable site for the affair. Finally, the selection was down to two: Pocono Dude Ranch and P.M.I. The debate went from deciding on one, then the other, and back again. Pro and con features were mentioned for both, but P.M.L was declared the winner by one vote. (Funny though . the other resort had all the snow! Oh well, snow-K!)

With three varsity 11 d d d sports working. the b alloting was we - ivi e , all three teams had representatives in the running, but for sheer performance, Carl led the list. In the swimming team's first encounter after the sport had lain dormant for nine years, Havira led the undermanned Colonels in a losing cause. He scored 60% of the team's 18 points, missed a first place finish by a scant four-tenths of a second in his second race. His point total came on secondplace finishes in the 220-yard free style, 200-yard butterfly, and 200yard breast stroke events. In the 220, Carl finished second hehind Dicikinson's Mulligan, one of ·1e best freestylers in the Middle , .tlantic Conference. In the butter,y, he had the Colonels cheering wildly when he led all the way, · but he pulled a cramp in the last length and missed first by a stroke. Swimming in his third match of the day, the pluc,ky natator finished second in the breast stroke. Carl is an active letterman at Wilkes, having put in two busy s e a s o n s on the Colonel soccer squad. He got his training in athletics at Philadelphia's Girard Col- lege where he was captain of the swimming team, played on the soccer team, and placed his name on the school honor roll several times. His name still stands in the Girard record books. He holds ,pool records in the 150-yard medley relay and the 300-yard individual medley relay. Now in his second year at Wilkes, the secondary education major has been honored twice for his work on the soccer field. He was named to the Middle Atlantic All-Conference squad, honorable mention, and received special mention on th e Tri ..State team. He received four swimming letters at Girard, one in baseball, two in soccer at Wilkes and appears a sure bet to get another "W" for his splendid contributions to the swimming squad. _______ INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL SCHEDULES National League Feb. 4-7:00 ,Club 20 vs. Neki Hoki Nifty Five vs. Blackhawks 8:00 Rejects vs. Civ/Vets Meathounds vs. Collegians Gold American League Feb. 6-7:00 Collegians Blue vs. Phonies Gore Hall vs. Faculty Five 8 :00 Outcasts vs. 7 Plus 1 D.R.L.H. vs. Ashley Aces American League Feb. 10-7 :00 Collegians Blue vs. Gore Hall Outcasts vs. Faculty Five 8:00 j Ashley Aces vs. Phonies · D.R.L.H. vs. 7 Plus 1 Selody Leadmg Scorer th Activity in e Spring Bowling season got off to a fast start on Sunday night when the Pinbusters, led by Dan Lewis and Emil Petrasek, rolled to a 4-0 victory over the seemingly well-named Losers.

According to Rodger Lewis, chainnan of the affair, Bob Moran will bring his entire band. all gaily attired: Millie Gittins'.. crew of cheerleaders will be on hand: and a dance will follow the contests, lasting until 11:00 P. M. ALL THREE SQUADS IN RECENT ACTIVITY r Since the last i s s u e of the Beacon, all three varsity teams saw action in three contests. Two were successful, the third suffered defeat. Cagers Snap Back · Bouncing back from a disastrous, road trip, the Colonel cagers toyed with the Juniata Indians for most of the first half of their January 11 game, but were forced to snap to attention when the Indians closed the gap to one point, 32-31, two minutes before the end of the first half. They won easily, however, 81-63. Swimmers Submerged The powerful, experienced Red Devils of Dickinson showed no mercy in drubbing the green Colonnel squad by a 67-18 score. Wilkes has not had varsity swimming for nine years. After additional training and more reasonable opposition, the team could well give promising signs of future greatness. Matmen Roll On Making up for a close, 19-15 win last year, John Reese's sensational grapplers gave their fans easy breathing as they swept seven consecutive bouts and drew in one to tamp East Stroudsburg STC by a 31-2 score and run their unbeaten streak to 20. Jim Ward took a 5-3 decision for his 25th straight dual win, Bobby Morgan turned in his fifth win on an 8:07 fall (his fourth pin), and Dave Thomas and Walt Glogowski turned in falls at 6.:52 and 6:04, respectively, to remain unbeaten.

This affair is held in the spring semester for the purpose of initiating newly-elected officers of the Club. Because the officers, most of whom are seniors, begin student teaching in the spring, it has been found convenient to elect new officers who sta1t serving in the spring semester and continue in the fol lowing fall semester. This allows student teachers to devote more energy to their academic work and provides the club with officers who have time to carry out their duties more efficiently. This year the affair will be a covered dish supper. Dr. Eugene Hammer, advisor to the club and chairman of the Education Department, and Mr. Robert Bhaerman, elementary education advisor, will attend as guests of the Club. All members of the Education Club are invited and urged to be present.

(continued on page 6) �2 WlLICfS EDITORIAL Practice Makes Perfect · . There is a group of about twenty girls on campus who have, in the past, been referred to as "Wilkes' lost women of basketball." The main reason of this slighting title has been the poor record turned in by the Wilkes Colonelettes in the past three years. Last Tuesday the Colonelettes went to Marywood College in Scranton to play. After the game one of the referees sought out co-captain Jan Cornell and told her she thought that Wilkes needed more practice. We feel. that. when an unbiased official notices the lack of practice, everyone, including opposing players, coaches and students, must notice also. IS ONE HOUR ENOUGH? The girls can use the gym one hour a week. In our estimation, this is not enough practice ti.me for any team that plays intercollegiate sports, whether it be men's or women's athletics. · We are sure that if this situation, where lack of practice is obvious, existed with one of the men's teams, something would be done about it. Why hasn't something been done to get the gal hoopsters more ti.me? After all, they represent Wilkes College just as much as the men do when they go to other colleges to play. It is too late to do anything about the situation for this year, but we hope that something will be done about it when the plans are being made for next year's ti.me allotment in the gym. -mjk by Fred Roberts Since my friend Bruce Warshctl went to considerable trouble to respond and rather effectively to my article of several weeks ago on the New York subway strike, ,I am going to suspend my policy of l e ~ each column stand on its merits to devote this week's article to a re-defense of my views. Out of fairness this oolwnri is open to Bruce for final rebuttal in succeeding issues. Our disagreement can be traced at least in :part to a misunderstariding or perhaps a lack of sufl'iciettt emphasis. My position was ndt based upon the unmodified concltision that the Motormen's Benevolent Association is automatically elitjtled to separate bargaining rig'hts as a craft union, but rather tltiit since there is so much dissatisfaction with being in Quill's union and since the jobs covered ute so different then the workers probably should be allowed to reniain in their own unions. This seems like a hazy situation, but it is a crucial one because I am certainly not opposed to industrial unions per se. It is in particular situations that the principle comes into question. In this instance I tried to make clear ihat there is a considerably greater difference between a porter, a motorman, or an electrician working in the subway where tlie jobs are divided into these classes almost evenly numerically and a large :ii.umber of interchangeable production 1 i n e woflcers encompassing only a few sp~iiilizell workers. The difference between industry and transit workers seems as clear as that between industrial workers and railroaders who have had craft unions for years. This difference plus the discontent with Quill's TWU illustrated by its inability to get more than 67% in the repre~ sentation election compared with 92% in 1954 argue against horizantal representation. Bruce attempts to cast the election off as mitigated by "trying circumstances"-perhaps he means the worker u n re st at Quill's methods; and by arguing that only 51 o/o of the vote is required for a union shop under federal law. This second point is somewhat misleading because no union shop election has been required since 1951, the present 51 o/o requirement is only to determine which union is to represent the woi:,kets in the plant. There is also an essential dissimilarity between the union shop issue and that of exclusive representationi the union shop is demanded to p r e vent non-union workers from receiving the same union benefits that dues paying unionists get since the recognized union must bargain for all workers in a plant; on the other hand workers desiring to belong to sep: arate unions on a :r,articular job are willing to pay dues in return for bargaining services-the question is not whether to pay but to which union. The one demand is equitable, the other not. As to several other points that Bruce raised concerning my presentation of the facts I admit some degree of unconscious disservice, but I resent the implication of 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 label of "private fact-finding panel" given by the New York Times of December 22, 1957, to the American Arbitration Association-<picked board may not have carried the import of Raskin's "a distinguished panel of impartial experts"; and the Authority was not acting illegally when it demanded sole union representation, but this is not inconsistent with my statement that the Authority had no legal sanction, it only points up the need for legislative clarification of New Yor,k labor law; so I think my outline of the facts was unemotionally fair. In conclusion I feel Bruce certainly has a right to his views and they may be justified, but there is also considerable room to feel that the majority should not always rule.

Then, ignoring the waiter who came up, she fussed over her fidgeting animal, cooing baby talk: "There, there. Nobody's going to hurt mama's itsy-bitsy baby." Finally the dog settled down and the woman turned to the waiter. Without batting an eye he asked courteously - if somewhat coldly "Your first dog, madam?" College- and Comm.unity Rev.

I t o m ak e 'i.1ot\1 wce!;-ends meet. r· by .Jim Eidam A discussion of the important topic of "Europe Today" was presented by the distinguished Camille Chautemps at Tuesday's assembly, which was sponsored by the college history chili. Mr. Chautemps has served as the French premier on four occasions. does not pose a particularly serious threat to the nation, however, because it is not a major political faction. Many of the ,p ublic who vote for Communists are not party affiliates; this is especially true of the factory workers of the nation. The speaker discussed attempts at forming a union among the nations of Europe and mentioned the numerous obstacles, such as Ianguage and economic differences, which will have to be overcome. The advantages of a united western Europe are quite obvious. He concluded by stating that the free nations have a "better idea to fi ght for" in the cold war, regardless of the recent scientific advances of Russia. If the free world shows neutral nations that it can g ive more welfare to them, it will be successful. I Mr. Chautemps related the imtance of America's interest in the nations of Europe. Ignoring the countries of Free Europe would create a "dent" in our future security. H e proceeded to present a pieture of the present situation in Europe. Germany, since World War II, has once again risen to be the most economically powerful nation on the continent. Its most important problem lies in the fact that it is a divided nation. France is currently faced with problems of economic inflation, and her exports are not great enough to be beneficial to her economy. She is also divided politically, evident in t he fact that her government is constantly changing its leadership. The French Communist party ENTERTAINS AT "GASLIGHT GASSER" I I I I The Crewne::ks, a quintet which spedalizes in popular music, appeared at the senior class "Gaslight Gasser" last Friday evening. The members of this quintet are sophomores and are active in the ''Collegians" . Among the songs which they sang during the intermission were: "At The Hop", "Wear My Ring", and In The Still Of The Night". The members shown above are, left to right: Boyd Hoa ts, Bruce Miles, Jerome Pauley, John Wasickan:n, and Bob Martin. EUROPEAN AIRFLIGHT Anachronism? Not really. 'Cause if Coke had been around in Caesar's day, Caesar would have treated himself to the sparkling good taste, the welcome lift of Coke! Caesar's motto- "! came, I saw, I eonquered." Pretty good motto for Coke too-the prime favorite in over 100 countries today! The American-European College Student Association has planned an airflight -to Europe this summer at student prices. The flight in DC-6's will leave Montreal, Canada (9 hours drive from New York City) on July 8, 1958, arriving in London, England, and will return September 3, 1958. The cost to members is only $330 per person, round trip. Subsequent European summer flights and Bermuda spring-time flights are also planned. They will also send a free list of student approved accommodations in Europe. I Free membership is open to all ' college students and teachers. Interested persons should write soon to AECSA, 62 Park Street, Canton, New York.

To Keep Record Clean by Jim Hennighan The Beacon sports staff was almost unanimous in its selection of the Athlete of the Week. Walt Glogowski won the honors with his speedy victory in the Colonels' 21st straight win. The 177-pounder, known as the "Tiger" to the followers of the Colonel mat team, pinned his opponent in the fabulous time of 32 seconds. The City College of New York 177-pound senior Harvey Werblood, never knew what happened to him, for Walt took him down with what is known as an "ankle sweep" and pinned him in nothing-flat. It was one of the fastest pins ever recorded in the history of Wilkes College. With this victory, Walt has run his string ,t o nine straight in dual meets, the string includes six victories this year and three at the end of last season. His wins so far this season were registered on four falls and two decisions which total up to 25 <points. Walt's overall three year won-lost record is 23 and 4. He had a 9-2 record last year and had an 8-2 record in his freshman year. The 26 points place him two behind Bobby Morgan as the two battle down to the wire for the individual point-scoring record, set last year by Jim Ward. The record seems destined to fall after only one year on the books. Ward scored 41 points last year to eclipse Bob Masonis' mark. Walt is a popular member of the Junior Class and is well known for his artistie ability. Most of the backdrops for the College's formal dances are the work of the "Tiger".

Last year, the Colonels defeated the Leopards handily here, 27-3. On Wednesday, however, they are to face their most serious threat in Millersville. The team has been pointing to this match all season as "the one" to win. All members of the squad are sharpening up with the expressed intention of avenging last year's 13-13 tie, the only blot on their brilliant three-season record. In preparing for the vital match, the Colonels turned in two recent decisive victories by 30-5 at City College of New York, and by 29-5 on Wednesday here over Lycoming. Bobby Morgan moved closed to the College scoring record when he turned in beautiful pins in both contests. The scrappy 1,2 3-pounder .pinned Sam Berkowitz of CCNY in 6 :56, and nailed Jack Fortin of Lycoming in 6:52 for his sixth pin in seven wins. He has now registered 33 points for the Colonels. Jim Ward took his 26th and 27th consecutive bouts with a 4-0 win at CCNY and a 4-1 win here on Wednesday. Skeeter Williams turned in a 4:16 fall in New York and pinned Lycoming captain Don Flick in 6 :59 to remain undefeated this year. Joe Morgan lost a tough 4-2 bout at City College, but bounced back to a 5 :03 fall over his Lycoming opponent. Dave Thomas pinned his Warrior foe in the identical time of 5:03, and halved that time at CCNY with a fall in 2 :40. Marv Antinnes nailed his City opponent in 2:40, then took a thrilling 7-4 win in the Lycoming battle. Walter Glogowski made one of the fastest falls in Wilkes history, pinning CCNY's Harvey Werblood in 32 seconds, but fell victim of a freak fall in the Lycoming meet in 2:22. Joe Dombek got a draw, 1-1, in New York, then electrified the fine Booster Night throng with an exciting 7-5 win over 230-pound John Joe, fullback of the Warriors' excellent football squad. For the Millersville match, a number of students are planning to make the trip after Wednesday afternoon classes. Those interested in driving or riding to the meet should see Dick Myers, who is attemptin;;- to organize a "Colonels' Caravan" for the contest.

The fifth was Walt Glogowski (see Athlete of Week).

George Morgan scored 17 points, Fran Mikolanis 11, in the easy win, which capped a successful "Booster Night" twin-bill. The Colonels now stand 7-2 in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division, one game behind the idle Scranton Royals who lead the loop. Defeat Elizabethtown The Colonels continued their victorious ways on their home court by defeating Elizabethtown College, 78-62. Both teams started slowlv, but after seven minutes of play Wilkes forged ahead to ta;ke a lead they never relinquished. The halftime score showed the Colonels leading by thirteen .p oints, 39-26. Although they tried, the Colonels could not get the ball to George Morgan, the team's leading scorer Morgan was covered strongly all evening by Jim Chase and Bill Pensyl of the Blue Jays. The Davismen gained their halftime lead on the strength of Fran Mikolanis' brilliant one-hand shooting from the corner, and Bob Turley's long bullet shots which never seemed to miss the mark. At the start of the second half Elizabethtown started a full court press causing Wilkes to lose the ball several times. The -Blue Jays worked a fast break, and cut the Wilkes lead to five points. Fran Mikolanis and George Morgan got hot and Wilkes pulled away, never to be caught. Mikolanis scored 26 for the evening, followed by Gacha with 12, Morgan with 11, and Turley 10. The win moved the Colonels to within one and one half game of leading Scranton in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division. AL-ley CHATTER George Gacha seems to be completely healed of his ankle injury The game Saturday served to get George back to his normal playing ability. Now he is ready to go, go, go. A.U LEWIS.

The vlsitors to,;. night will be the East Stroudsburg State Teachers College. Game-time, 8:00 P.M.

Tonight's contest is a non-conference tilt. SWIMMERS TO VISIT LYCOMING,BUCKNELL Coach Clete Miller and his hardy mermen will be a busy crew during the coming week when they oppose two squads with little more experience than they themselves possess. Tomorrow the natators travel to Williamsport to be the third Wilkes squad to test a Warrior team this week. The Warriors have not had much more time than the Colonels to get into shape and lost their first match, against ·B ucknell, by a 5630 score. Next Tuesday, February 11, the Bisons will host the Colonels at Bucknell's new Freas-Rooke pool. Last year, Bob Latour, coach of the Bisons, had a dismal start in launching the sport. His charges lost their first three meets of the season, then copped the finale. Latour's splashers have shown improvement, however, with wins over Delaware, Franklin & Marshall, and Lycoming this season. They will seek their fourth win tomorrow at Swarthmore. The Colonels have had their troubles keeping a full roster of swimmers off the sick or injured lists. The team will count heavily on Carl Havira, who scored half of the 18 points registered in the first meet at Dickinson. Havira is 111 strong swimmer, with plenty of endurance and a good stroke. Coach Miller will be a probable entrant in several events, Pat Shovlin has turned in some good times in ·p ractice and took a second place in the Dickinson tilt, Phil Lear and !'forgan Davis are quickly rounding mto shape and are considered as threats. T.D.R. NOTICE The election of a new secretary of TDR ended in a tie between Moncey Miller and Mary Homan. The run-off election will be held today from llto 1 in the Commons.

They will tackle th~ Susquehanna Crusaders on Monday at Selinsgrove in a Conference tilt, then will go to Newark to play Rutgers next Saturday in an exhibition game. The last two games are with' conference foes; wins over Lafayette on March 1, and Albright on March 8, could possibly give the Blue and Gold possession of the~ top slot in the league, or at least a berth in the Conference's tenta · tive post-season playoffs.

The Intramural championship will rest on the results of a playoff of the top four teams in each league.

WJLKES.COLLEGE BEACON 6 START STUDYING FOR FINALS, IT'S LATER THAN YOU THIMK by Marion J. Klawonn Because of the success of the lap-board article written a few weeks ago, we have, by popular demand (Two people asked me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mother and father for making the request), agreed to do a series of stories on campus issues and problems. This week's blurb is on the subject of study (see Websters dictionary for definition of this word). When sitting down for serious study, the first thing the student needs is, naturally, a chair. Now that we have that settled, on to the particulars. The second step in the art of studying is to have a test announced-never, never study at any other time. If you haven't any tests scheduled, quit now and go to the movies. What's the sense of filling your head with unnecessary details about the situation in Afghanistan when no one will ever know that you have such information-unless, of course, the subject should happen to pop up at a cocktail party in the near future. If it does, you will undoubtedly be the life of the party. The next thing on the agenda is check to make sure that your door is locked. This is very important because if you do lose control and fall asleep, no one will ever be the wiser. When your mother spots a light under your door at three in the morning, she will assume that you are studying aggressively. Actually you probably have been slumped over your desk fast asleep since 8:30, but don't ever admit it to anyone! . 'The proper equipment for effective study is, of course important. You should drag yourself into your private study room carrying a ~aper bag, two dozen pencils, a box qf ·p aper clips, and, of course, a l>ook, The paper bag should be "hung, open end up, on the wall so you can shoot the paper clips at it during the fifty minute break taken every hour by all good students. Now get out the clear, concise, well organized and complete set of notes you took during class. Next, try to separate the doodles from the subject matter. Under that carefully drawn sketch of Dr. Thatcher, (drawn the day he gave that surprise ( ? ) quiz that was announced last Wednesday - the day you cut class, remember?) we learn that the Civil War ended in 18-gosh, can't make out the rest of the date - it's not important iinyway (it sa.ys here!!!). When you have decided that your notes are useless, get out the bookye gods!!! - you left it in the caff (oops, pardon me The .Commons). Now what? Well, hack to the notes. · Most students who spend any time on studying their notes decide to submit lhem to Mr. O'Toole - that art work must be worth something. Now that you have wasted the entire evening (it must be at least nine o'clock by now) might as well go downstairs and watch television. They say that there are a lot of educational programs on these days. Who knows, maysbe there will be a program of filmed-on•thespot scenes from the Civil War. Unfortunately, your parents insist on watching "Your Hit Parade" and you can't talk them out of it (you did try, didn't you?) When you take the test just remember that old saying - an old fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. This should make you feel better when you get the paper back in a few months. But don't worry, you can bring your mark up on the final. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111 II III IIII GLAMOUR CONTEST (continued from page 1) Jackie Oliver Jackie Oliver, a Spanish major and Kingston resident, was elected Cinderella in her freshman year.
