LAWRENCE STRESSES SUPPORT OF STATE'S HIGHER EDUCATION Pittsburgh's Mayor David L . Lawrence, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, addressed the student body of Wilkes College at noon, Tuesday, October 7, on the law of Chase Hall. Lawrence's visit to Wilkes was sponsored by the college Student Council. Members of the council met with Mayor Lawrence and members of his party in Dr. Farley's office. Among those present were: Dr. Hugo Mailey, Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Dr. Bastress, Dr. John Dorris, County Democratic Chairman, Senator Martin Murray, Mr. Al Briden, and Miss Genevieve Blatt. Mayor Lawrence called for "an awakening of all Americans to the crisis we face in higher education." He praised George M. Leader for his program for higher education which failed to be enacted in the last session of the General Assembly. "Once again, Governor Leader demonstrated his alert awareness of the challenges of our times when he conceived his program for improving educational opportunities for Pennsylvania's young people," Lawrence asserted. "It is important to emphasize that his program, calling for college scholar- s hips and loans as well as a system of junior colleges throughout the Commonwealth, was presented before Sputnik jolted the free worl<l into serious concern about our educational program." In explaining the situation of young people going on for advanced education, Lawrence said, "It is shocking to know that only one out of three high school students go on to college in this nation of ours. It is even more shameful that here in Pennsylvania, with its wealth of good colleges and universities, only one out of every four high school graduates have the opportunity to continue their education. "No one is advocating an easy way to become educated," he added, "What we must have, however, is the broadening of opportunities to make certain that every qualified young man and woman can go to college if he wants to do so. There is nothing more important to our civilization and to human advancem ent than the revitalization of our system of education . "This, of course, includes improvements in public schools, in which the State government has such a major responsibility here in P ennsylvania." · · Until officers have been' elected arid the organization of ·the · class is c6'mplete, the frosh have · bee~ aicjed ..by u pperc)assmen in. the ~t;e~\:gha~\;:: a~~~i\~-~e~:r:~ chairman_: assisted •by.'Student Gov.~ . b\J~t:sT~;~:;e li?eman !rank t:o~;~~~i:o~:~:!a;t::~1~:f:_er, Spudis . has bee~ · p1ck~d · by · the_' ' · The· 'new students have go'fle into Eastern College Athleti~ Conf~r- the projt# imdei; full sail' aria ha.'VB' I ence fot . hol'lorable mention '?11 )ts line'd •up a:n evening . of; entertain,.

Beal P. M~ C. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON wc Placement Director W. GASBARRO J PARMENTER EDITORIALS - Laryngitis??? Well, what happened? All of a sudden everyone was speechless, or should we say songless. The response to the usual, expected, routine hymn singing in assembly was worse than usual this last Tuesday. We expect all sorts of excuses ranging from "Didn't hear the number announced" to "Didn't have a book." Gosh, we feel sorry for you, poor little children, so helpless and deserted by everything, even common reason. It must have been embarrassing to say the least. All we have to say al this point is "thank Allah" that the assembly program did not include some dignitary from the community. What a sorry sight that would have been. While we are on the subject of assembly, we can't help but think of the speeches that were given in such earnest voices last Tuesday. What promises were made! We wish we had a tape recording of the entire program to play back next April or May. We are not being facetious, but how many times have we heard the same things promised each year? For three years we have sat, squirming, in the gym listening to the same old story about including the Vets in class activities, getting together with the dorm students, etc., etc. This MAY be the year for such promises to be fulfilled, we sincerely hope so. It was refreshing, however, to hear someone, other than a donn student, admit that the resident students were more active in school affairs than day students. Tell Us More The United Fund Campaign gets its official start on campus tonight with the annual United Fund Dance in the gym. All proceeds from this dance will go into the fund. The rest of the money expected from the college will, we hope, come from each and every student. All of us will be asked to contribute a dollar to the fund. This isn't much to ·exp~t from the students as we ·see it. Let's back this drive, we have a lackluster reputation around the community in connection with this annual affair because of last year's miserable showing. · Let's get back on the right side of the ledger! . - mjk WHAT . . .

There can be no doubt that we must provide more funds, at every level of government if we are to have the school buildings, the curricula, the training resources, and the teachers we need to properly educate the young people of Pennsylvania. "Although the Congress recently enacted legislation providing some degree of Federal aid to education, there still remains the need for broader Federal assistance both at Friday, October 10, 1958 the public school and the college levels." Lawrence further added that, "America's competition for world leadership will be won or lost in our public schools and in our colleges and universities." Lawrence concluded his remarks by stating that, "We should have a State program of scholarship loans, completely free of political influence; we should be planning now for a State-wide system of community colleges; we must work now for a broader program of Federal aid to education; and we cannot be satisfied with an educational program in Pennsylvania until we take first rank among the States in the nation." Named Liaison Officer For Danforth Fellowship The Danforth Foundation, an educational foundation located in St. Louis, Missouri, invites applications for the eighth class (1959) of Danforth Graduate Fellows from college senior men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and are planning to enter graduate school in September, 1959, for their first year of graduate study. The Foundation welcomes applicants from the areas of Natural and Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities and all fields of specialization to be found in the undergraduate college. President E. S. Farley has named John Chwalek as the Liaison Officer to nominate to the Danforth Foundation two or not to exceed three candidates for these 1959 fellowships. These appointments are fundamentally "a relationship of encouragement" throughout the years of graduate study, carrying a promise of financial aid within prescribed conditions as there may be need. The maximum annual grant for single Fellows is $1400 plus tuition and fees charged to all graduate students; for married Fellows, $1900 plus tuition and fees charged to all graduate students with an additional stipend of $350 for each child. Students with or without financial need are invited te apply. A Danforth Fellow is allowed to carry other scholarship appointments, such as Rhodes, Fulbright, Woodrow Wilson, Marshall, etc., concurrently with his Danforth Fellowship, and applicants for these appointments are cordially invited to apply at the same time for a Danforth Fellowship. If a man received the Danforth Appointment, together with a Rhodes Scholarship, Fulbright Scholarship, or Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he becomes a Danforth Fellow without stipend, until these other relationships are completed. All Danforth Fellows will participate in the annual Danforth Foundation Conference on Teaching, to be held at Camp Miniwanca in Michigan next September, 1959. The qualifications of the candidates as listed in the announcement from the Foundation are: men of outstanding academic ability, personality congenial to the classroom, and integrity and character, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition. All applications, including the recommendations, must .b e completed by January 31, 1959. Any student wishing further information should get in touch with Mr. Chwalek. T.D.R. INITIATION SET FOR OCTOBER 13 by Lee Baiera The initiation of new freshman members of the T.D.R. sorority will be held on Monday, October 13, in McClintock Hall.

The Colonels, al,t hough e d g e d out in a r eal squeaker, lived up to pre-season estimates. of having a real powerhouse when they unlea shed the pent-up furies exhibited by fullba ck Lou Davis. Although the Wilkes hooters did not rise to their full potentialities in the first half, they were k ept in the game by the determination of this sturdy player who attempted almost single-handedly to stem the concerted attacks of the Blue Jays. Lou's tremendous efforts weren't limited to the first half, where it was estimated that he halted at least eleven key goal tries by the opposition; he also formed the apex of the Wilkes wedge that smashed back in the second half. Wilkes' own 'Lou the Toe' spearheaded the drives that culminated in goals ,b y teammates Giordano and Havira. The loss of Carl Havira, All-Conference Honorable Mention last year, hurt the Colonels' chances in the second half, but 'the Toe' assumed Carl's r es ponsibilities also with seemingly no extra effort. Lou spent 17 months in France with the U.S. Army after graduating from William P enn Charter School in 1952. He lettered on t he tradk team in high school and played baseball and basketball in the service. He is a junior Commerce and Finance student and an active member of the L ettermen's Club and a native of New Hope, Pennsylvania.

PMC Brings Air Attack To Kingston Stadium; Colonels Drop Third by Richard J.

BOOTERS TEST WAGNER TEAM by Don Hancock After suffering a 3-2 defeat at the hands of a strong Elizabethtown team, the soccer team tomorrow journeys to Staten Island, New York, to play Wagner. Tomorrow's game will be the -f irst meeting of the two teams and is the second game of a three-game road stand for the Colonel hooters. Coach Jim Ferris has been working hard to eliminate the· team's ·weaknesses which were brought out into the open in Saturday's· game. Inexperience, which plagued the backfield throughout the game, was the principal weakness. It can be eliminated solely through continued practice and hard work and as anyone can attest, inexperience is a bitter but . nevertheless excellent teacher. · Gari Havira, outside right and scorer of one of the two Colonels' goals, reinjured his right anikle and saw limited action in Saturday's game but expects to be in condition for tomorrow's game. With the continued excellent play of the line and constant improvement of the backfield through experience and coaching, the team will be a hard one to beat tomorrow at Staten Island. If you are unfamiliar with the game, go over to Kirby Park any afternoon of the week and watch the men drive up and down the 120yard field. They work hard and, like all other campus activities, need your support and avid interest.

Most students, especially upperclassmen, have accum~lated quite a few b o o ik s in introductory courses, for which they have no longer any use. The Lettermen's plan is to collect all these unused "dust gathering" books and distribute them to financially pressed students. John Thomas, chairman of the project, is in the midst of organizing a workable plan whereby books will be collected at the end of each semester and redistributed to other n eedy students at the beginning of the following semester. No partiality will be shown in th selection of the recipients of these books. Boys, girls, and Veterans will be equally eligible, provided all have a real need.

CONYNGHAM HALL, SECOND BUILDING Today, Gies Hall is used as a Conservatory of Music by the college. In addition to the many classrooms in Gies Hall, there are also several practice rooms for music majors, and hi-fidelity facilities for use in the music department. PICKERING HALL Pickering Hall, 181 S. Franklin St., home of the late Dr. S. P. Mengel, was purchased by Wilkes College in 1949. The Mengel Home was renamed Pickering Hall in honor of the famous soldier, Timothy Pickering, who was an early supporter of the Revolutionary movement in Massachusetts. He led a Massachusetts contingent to join Washington's Army in the winter campaign of 1776-77 and in May, 1777, he accepted the military position of Adjutant General of the U. S. Army. He was selected as Quartermaster General in 1780. His Letters constituted an invaluable Commentary on the course of the Revolution. Pickering Hall is presently used by the Commerce and Finance Department of Wilkes. The Conyngham property, 120 S. River St., was given as a gift to the college on August 19, 1937, by Mrs. Bertha Robinson Conyngham, widow of the late John N. Conyngham. The building was since named "John N. Conyngham Hall." Conyngham Hall was the second building given to Wilkes, when the college was still affiliated with Bucknell University. The Conyng- ham residence was built by Mr. Charles Parrish, noted coal-mining figure of Wyoming Valley. Formerly used for Chemistry and Engineering, Conyngham Hall is now used by several departments, mainly Commerce and Finance and the evening school division. The two-story garage behind the main building also provides additional classroom facilities. Girls' Dormitories GYMNASIUM The Wilkes Gymnasium was completed in September, 1950, and is considered to be one of the most modern in the state. The Gymnasium is 100 x 200 feet and has a playing area of 98 x 144 feet, large enough for three basketball courts. The seating capacity is flexible, accomodating from 1200 to 2200 persons. Large shower and dressing rooms are located on both the first and second floors, rear; and in the front are located offices and a conference room. A kitchen has also been installed to provide facilities for food preparations for the many college and community affairs held at the gymnasium each year. Of the ten buildings presently used as dormitories, five are used by young women attending Wilkes from out-of-town. One of the first buildings to be used as a girl's dorm, when Wilkes was known as Bucknell Junior College, was Weckesser Hall, 78 W. Northampton St. This building was donated to the college by Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Weckesser in 1938, and it was first used as a school of music by Wilkes and also as the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Farley. Clintock, chairman of the college's Board of Trustees, donated his home at 44 S. River St., to the college, for use as a women's dorm. Weiss and Catlin Halls are the latest dormitory additions to the campus, both being acquired in 1957. Weiss Hall, 98 S. River St., was donated to Wilkes by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss. Mr. Weiss is a trustee at the college and also founder of the Triangle Shoe Company. The Reynolds home, 92 S. River St., was purchased by the college and renamed Catlin Hall after George Catlin, one of our great native painters, who devoted himself to the Indian cause. George Catlin was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1796. Catlin Hall is considered to be one of the oldest buildings in this area, being built in the early In 1951, Attorney Gilbert S. Mc- 1840s. In 1949, a bequest of Colonel Walter C. Sterling gave the college Sterling Hall, 72 S. River St. This building, with its lacy ironwork reminiscent of the New Orleans Latin Quarter, extended the campus into the first block of S. River St. �Friday, October 17,1958 5 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON DURING HOMECOMING, 1958 Chase Hall, First Building STURDEVANT HALL The gracious old Sturdevant Home, 129 S. Franklin St., was purchased from the heirs of Miss J essie Thomas Sturdevant, in the summer of 1952. John L. Butler sold the building to Rev. John Dorrance, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, in 1841. During this period, the building occupied the edifice now the Osterhout Library. Rev. Dr. Dorance lived there throug hout his ministry, 27 years, and upon his death, the property was acquired by Dr. Jesse Thomas and his wife. When Mrs. Thomas died at age 99, the home and lot passed to her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Sturdevant, mother of the late Miss Sturdevant. Sturdevant Hall presently houses the Education Department. Chase Hall, home of the late Fred M. Chase, was presented to Wilkes in 1937 by Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark as a m emorial to Mr. Chase and his wife, who was Admiral Stark's sister. The building was the first to be donated to the college, and at that time, Wilkes was 1 known as Buckn ell Junior College, being affiliated with Bucknell Uni- · versity. Chase Hall was first used as an Mr. Chase built this three story administration building, and in building about 1917.

HARDING HALL The Board of Trustees of Wilkes-College purchased the HardingResidence, 141 S. Franklin St., in 1954. Funds for the furnishings of th~ building were provided by Attorney Gilbert S. McClintocik, chairman of the Board, and Marian Murtin Winsor, granddaughter of Judge Harding. Judge Harding built this home over one hundred and seventy-nine years ago. The Harding Home is a landmark of Wyoming Valley. Glen Alden Property, Most Recent Harding Hall was first used as a snack -b ar for students and faculty. Today the building houses the college bookstore and a students' lounge. CAFETERIA The latest acquisition to Wilkes College is the Glen Alden Property, S. River St., which includes the 5story building, the adjoining President's home and a large parking lot. The purchase was made on May 6, 1958, through generous contributions including gifts from Albert A. List Foundation, Inc., and RKO Theatres Foundation. The Glen Alden Building was formerly the Lehigh & WilkesBarre Coal Company Offices. The building was erected on the former site of the old Wyoming Valley Hotel. The Glen Alden Building will be renamed Charles ,P arrish Hall and the adjoining building will be renamed Isaac Chapman Hall. Future plans call for Chapman Hall to be used as a girls' dormitory, and t entative plans for Parrish Hall may include the college finance offices, a snack bar, the bookstore, the Polish Room, and classrooms, perhaps the Commerce , and Finance Department. I In the fall of 1955, the extension to the cafeteria was completed, connecting with the former Kirby garage. Constructed of brick and steel, the new structure is 42 feet long and parallels the walk from the cafeteria entrance to the Kirby Hall library. The bottom level of the original cafeteria is used by dormitory students while the extension and the second floor are used by the day st u d e n t s. With the extension, about 500 to 550 students can be accomodated at one time. Large •p icture windows beautify the exterior and furnish ample light, while inside knotty pine paneling and colorful modernistic wall paper complete the attractive surroundings.

This building, which adjoins the former Lecture Hall, was named Harold R. Stark Hall, after Admiral Harold R. Stark, former local resident, now retired, in recognition of his extensive generosity and service to the college. Stark Hall is used by the Chemistry, Physics, and Biology Departments, providing ample facilities for laboratories, classrooms, and research. A greenhouse has been constructed on the roof. The three-story structure is located in the center of the campus, between West South and West Northampton Streets. �Friday, October 17, 1958 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 6 SPUDIS CAPTURES SECOND AWARD FOR FIERY PLAY,-· VERSATILITY 1/i,ae Tackle, Guard, End Positions Conquered By 'All-East' Athlete ovt From tackle to guard to end and watch out ,b ackfield, Frank Spudis is Athlete of the Week again. Last Saturday's game proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks, and very well, as newly converted end Spudis caught one pass for two points and snagged another to set up the Colonels for their second TD of the afternoon. Versatile Frank feels that the backfield might be a little more challenging for his varied and impressive talents. Last year Frank held down the tackle position, then when the season opened this year he switched his devastating bulk to tackle and then more glory came his way while playing offensive end for the Colonels. He might become the grid sport's first eleven position player as he worked out all week with the backfield. Too bad more fans didn't attend last Saturday's thriller at Kingston Stadium. The people who did go will carry with them the memory of a determined Wilkes squad going down under the 'burden of an injury-packed last quarter. The game was marred only slightly by a few of the miscalculations that are obvious only to us suppressed football coaches.

Joe Shemanski set the high marks with 220-578, Hill Hoffman rolled a "Dutch" 200, and the Ros e Tatoos w ere put out of commission before t he night had really begun. The "Dutch" 200 is alternating strilkes and s pares throughout t en fram es, t he only way in which an even 200 can be made without gettin g two strikes ,in a row. The Tatoos were short-handed and it was decided that they would be dropped and their players put on the other sq uads so that a sevent eam league would be foi:mecl . This eliminates the necessity of having a 6 :00 p.m . seri es and gives one squad a ni g ht off each week.

The Colonels had lost two contests previous to this win. The match was played on the loser's field at Staten I sland, New York. The extent of the offense can be determined by the fact that the Colonels took 32 shots at the losers' g oal while less than 12 shots wer e taken at the Wilkes g oal.

Definitely hungry for a win after last week's pulse-pounding near•miss, the Colonels will go into action tomorrow primed for battle even though there was some doubt at press time that the team's injuries were fully healed. Mike Dydo and Bob Yokavonus, co-captains, were banged around, but ,both seem to be about ready for action. Other injured men, notably quarterback Jay Kubicki and Ii n e m an Joe Stralka also suffered extensive pains and may not see action tomorrow. Ursinus has not fared too well this year, having lost a good many key men through graduation. Bob Famous, the one man who kept last year's 39-0 Wilkes win from being a devastating rout, has graduated, along with some great baoks, Dick Dickerson, Chris Rhom, and Andi Arger. l The Grizzlies will be out toavenge last year's shutout, but t~e Colonels are rated favorites in this contest, a position they haven't held this season. . . . . .

Whether or not the teams can continue to keep up the young tradition of spoiling each other's Homecoming weekends will depend on how well head coach Ray Gurzynski can overcome his shortage of experienced players. Local product Bob Allen of Scranton, a 6-2, 230-pound freshman tackle, is the heaviest man on the 175-pound average line. The Bruins will thus be the lightest squad to face the Colonels this year, another equalizing factor in coach Pinkowski's bid for his initial win.

United Fund Campaign Reaches Fifty Per Cent As Deadline Approaches The United Fund drive is scheduled to end next Wednesday on campus with little more than fifty per cent of the student total of $1200 reached, as of Tuesday evening. Individual class contributions, as reported by Gordon Roberts, student chairman, have totaled $378; freshmen have contributed $126, sophomores, $92; juniors, $80; and seniors, $80. The student contributions have been swelled ~reatly by proceeds from the United Fund Dance, which netted a $162 profit. Various clubs and organizations hav e contributed $70 from their treasuries. These, added to the class total, produce a student total of $610. The faculty contributions have reached the total of $2500, according to latest reports, to increase the all-college total in the drive to $3110. NOTICE!

Wednesday night the Collegians will present the first full formal concert in the eight-year history of the chorus at Nanticoke High School. . The event will mark several "firsts" for the popular choral group as they embark on their most ambitious season. It will be the first unveiling of the new costume adopted by popular vote of the members. For the opening half of the program, the men will wear the familiar blue choral gowns as they perform their more serious music. After the intermission, they will be dressed in white coat sweaters on which will appear black, goldtrimmed, interlocked letters, "WC", and will wear dark charcoal slacks, white shirts and black knit ties. Another new feature for their concert format will be the incluDon Murray sion of a soloist.

BEAT LYCOMING! �2 WILKFS COIJ.EGE BEACON EDITORIALS - 'The Mighty Dollar' Even though the following is not the opinion shared by the whole editorial staff, we feel that it cannot be thrust aside without comment. We refer to the United Fund story: the "drive is scheduled to end next Wednesday with little more than fifty per cent of the student total of $1200 reached .... " It has been pointed out to us that without the aid of various clubs and the proceeds from the United Fund Dance the student total would be even more insignificant. What's wrong??? Is one dollar too huge a sum to part with? Are we a bunch of paupers, or are we just plain stingy? We realize that many students contribute to the United Fund through a place of employment; yet, $378 is hardly representative of the remaining students. Certainly if everyone who is able to participate would participate, the showing would be better. If you haven't been contacted by canvassers, just don't sit back; Give! There is still time to meet our goal if we want to meet it. Fortunately, our faculty does not find giving to a worthy cause such an ordeal. United Fund is the One Drive per year on campus. Let's help our neighbors of Wyoming Valley and obliteraie the red faces we should be wearing for such a poor response. JLE Can't Compete The decorations are down, and the trophy is safely locked away in the confines of Gore Hall - where it belongs. The men of Gore had a beautiful display - for about ten minutes. Lights flashed, horses ran all over the lawn and people shot at each other in violent activity. But then the judges left, and so did the men of Gore, leaving the display as dead as last week's Beacon. We have no personal complaint about the final decision of the -judges, we merely wonder how the women's organizations on campus are expected to compete with such intricate wonders of engineering. Not many of the girls can hook up a rocket takeoff, complete with lights and moving Colonels, nor can they be expected to construct a moving football supporting the figure of a Colonel. Girls just don't have that much engineering talent. . We humbly suggest that two trophies be purchased for Homecoming next year - one for the displays put up by the predominantly male organizations and the other for the women's organizations. We have checked back into our musty files of Beacons and have been unable to come up with one story that mentions the fact that a girls' dorm or organization won the trophy or even an honorable mention in the annual display contest. This can be discouraging to the eager bevy of girls who troop to the roof each year with hopes high. We hope the Alumni Association will consider this suggestion and act before the women lose interest and do not bother to put up displays again. mjk Strike Up the Band! No doubt about it, the 1958 Homecoming weekend was a smashing success. The decorations were inspiring, the caravan impressive, the Royal party attractive, the football game a win, and the parties something to be remembered for some time to come. One of the best examples of the overall enthusiasm concerning the two-day celebration was shown by the band. This fine group, always ready and willing to boost any event, outdid itself last week. Without any great deal of practice time, they gathered at the field at 10:00 a.m. and by game-time had worked up a marching routine worthy of "Big Ten" bands. Their rendition of the popular "76 Trombones" was flawlessly executed. Bob Moran and his stalwarts will, we hope, take the hint offered by the appreciative applause and repeat this performance at a future game. Additional praise is due Russ Picton for his chairmanship of the whole affair as well as to Bob Morris, student chairman for the gala weekend. On behalf of all of us who had duties directed by these two, our heartfelt thanks for a job superlatively done.

This win evens the Wilkes team's record at 2-and-2 for all, the Colonels had 37 shots at this season and gives them a second-place berth in the league the Hofstra goal. standings. For the first time this season The game was played under a fair sky and from the start the Colonels forward wall put the pressure on the Hofstra goalie. This was the reverse of the pattern of play that had been bothering the Colonels, for in past games the Blue and Gold had been on defense most of the time. The inability of the Dutchman goalie and fullbacks to cope with the power of the Colonels was evident throughout the game. Carl Havira, Len Franckowiak, Nick Giordano, Lou Zwiebel and Ivan Pappanicholas started for the Blue and Gold with Havira, Giordano and rP appanicholas featured in the scoring, with Giordano getting three, one on a penalty shot. In Booters Represented In "Athlete" Honors by Star Center Forward the Wilkes team was unscored upon, and the credit goes to goalie Bob Payne, who did a fin e job all afternoon.

The prolific scoring center forward punctured the Hofstra goal with three big points. He scored twice from scrimmage and once with a a penalty shot. The first score was made with a head shot. The Flying Dutchmen, always one of the stiffest soccer competitors in the East, have been dumped by the underdog Colonels for the past five successive years. Four of these years Nick has been one of the short fuses that has exploded in the face of this powerful Hofstra team. Nick is not new to the "Athlete of the Week" award as this is the sixth time in his four years at Wilkes that he has gained this coveted award. He has also won honorable mention for the AllMiddle Atlantic squad in previous years. He first saw a soccer ball at an age when most American boys are still playing with marbles, for he was born in Italy, where soccer is one of the national pastimes. Nick attended high school in Naples, but graduated from Kingston High School in 1955 where he lettered on the track team. He is a 21 year old senior majoring in Biology and plans to attend medical school. I Sports Schedule FOOTBALL 0-Wilkes .......... Ithaca-27 0-Wilkes .. Leh. Val.-12 8-Wilkes .

Both teams were winless before the contest and the victory broke a two-year ~'Homecoming jinx each team held over the other. A satisfied throng of some two thousand cheered lustily as they witnessed the first Homecoming win in five years, and the first entry by the Colonels into the winning colunro: since Coach Pinkowski took over the reins. The injury-plagued Wilkesmen pulled the trick with a beautifully balanced attack and a fin e exhibition of team play. Ra y Yan chus filled in fo r Jay Kubi cki and did yeoman duty as quarterback while Bill Michaels and Ma rv Antinnes did th e lion 's share of the ballcarrying to make up for the loss of Tom Kri sulevicz . Michaels carried 21 times for 48 yards as a workhorse and scored the two extra points on an offtackle smash, while Antinnes averaged nearly five yards per carry with 52 on eleven tries. Eller carried four times for eight yards. Following Eller's TD effort late in the second quarter, the two teams fought to a standstill. Near the end of the game the Griz·zlies threatened twice, but a determined Colonel line held beautifully once on the three, then pushed the Bears back to the ten to thwart another drive. The Colonels completed four of eight passes, one a 49-yard thriller from Michaels to Ray Marchakaitis, and registered 176 yards total offense, 101 by rushing.

Jay Kubicki is a doubtful participant in this week's encounter as he is still nursing a knee injury. When Wilkes makes the trip to Williamsport, they will be facing one of the more powerful teams in small college ranks in the state of Pennsylvania. The Warriors are big, fast and have compiled an impressive 3 wins and 1 loss at this point in the football campaign. Their lone loss was irt the hands of Juniata, whom Wilkes faces here at home on November 1. The Colonels will again be looking at two men who have given them plenty of trouble over the past two years, they are fullback John Joe and halfback Jack Grier. A couple of boys who can "pick 'em up and lay 'em down." The Blue and Gold will be out to contain these two tomorrow night, and return to the campus with win number two under their belts.

This game will also be played at Kirby Park, but at 3:30 p.m. Popularity Increase To most of those native to this area, soccer is a relatively unknown sport; their only contacts with it being through what they read in the newspapers or the few minutes they might see of a game or intrasquad scrimmage in Kirby Park. In the larger metropolitan areas of the country, particularly here on the eastern seaboard, soccer is a well-known game and there are organized professional teams and leagues in New York and Philadelphia. In Europe, the sport is comparable to baseball, our national sport; but to the Europeans soccer is somewhat of a passion and a. national gam e with which everyone is familiar. It is not uncommon for a single game to draw crowds of 100,000 or more and there is a stadium in Moscow capable of holding 120,000 people with ease. In South America, soccer is followed with a somewhat more zealous and often violent interest. Rfots are commonplace and gunfire is expected at championship matches. During the international championship matches this past year, the government offices in Bra~il were ordered closed and boarded because the government officials feared the soccer-induced enthusiasm would boil over into the streets and have its political implications. The continent of Africa is not without it. There is one native tribe which plays a crude version of the game using a human skull as a ball. Here in the United States soccer is rapidly gaining in popularity, more and more colleges and high schools are adopting it as a varsity sport.

The results have brought many smiles and sighs. As for the statistics, they run this way: First prize for the Homecoming display went to Gore Hall for their production of "The Ursinus Massacre." Those who viewed this display had no doubt that the men of Gore would win. Second prize in this section went to the ,B iology Club for their creation, "Bowl Them Over." A lot of hard work on the part of the members of the !Biology Club went into this display. Third prize was awarded to the Junior Class for the surrey they had on display behind the library. This showed a touch of originality and color on the part of the juniors. The prize for the best decorated car that took nart in the car caravan on Saturday, October 18, was presented to Hugh Gladstone, a sophomore. His theme was "Pink Toyland." The Lettermen also announced the winners of their raffle. The first prize was a choice between two tickets to the "Music Man" in New York, or two tickets to the Army-Navy football game. This was won by John Harvey, a senior. Second prize was the remaining pair of tickets and this was won by G. Linko. There were three tm,keys given away as prizes. These were won by William Zdancewicz, Marie Opsitos, and Earl Harvey.

How many of us are going to trouble ourselves enough to go to Chase Theatre and vote for the candidates of our choice? How many of us will take the time to consider the pros and cons of the proposed constitutional changes? Obviously, the situation confronting most organizations on campus confronts our class leaders, as well. The 'situation' we refer to is known as "apathy". It was recently demonstrated at senior class meeting when some individuals wondered why there is an organization called the student council. The same apathy has made it necessary to hold class meetings with compulsory attendance - not enough persons bother to attend the regular meetings; not enough persons bother to inform themselves of what is going on in THEIR school. So, if you can possibly spare five minutes on Wednesday, YOUR vote for the fellow classmate of YOUR choice will be appreciated. - JLE Same Old Song and Dance Tonight we again have before us one of the "usual Friday night sport dances" that have suddenly become the rage on campus. The "usual" invariably consists of, ONE, an admission price - always known three weeks in advance. TWO, a bandthe name of which is never known for sure until the Wednesday immediately preceding the dance. THREE, a publicity director who comes tearing up to our office late Tuesday evening w ith the above mentioned information and a list containing the names of three hundred committee members. The publicity chairman wants, in the order mentioned, the headlines, preferably page one; a full column of details, if possible the story should run over to pages three and four; and last, but not least, his or her picture on the front page. We are not "picking on" any one particular club, all the organizations who have held dances this semester are at fault as we see it. If we may be so bold as to ask, what in the world has happened to the good old intermission program complete with gimmicks? And while we are at it, has the price of a roll of crepe paper gone up again? To our sometimes oversensitive feelings, this looks like a definite lack of interest and planning on the part of the clubs that have held dances this semester. The general feeling seems to be "just open the gym and everyone will flock to the lights". Perhaps they will for a while, but people will soon get sick of the "usual" and consequently clubs with later dates on the calendar will suffer. We have tried to publish good long stories in this paper, but a story can be padded only to a certain extent. We want to help you with your publicity, so just don't sit there, get up and do a little work that will attract our readers' attention. -mjk CLUB CO-OPERATION IS GOAL OF CONFERENCES by Jean Shofranko Everyone knows that a co-operative effort put forth by all concerned individuals is sure to lead to better results. With this in mind the student leaders of campus organizations held the first in a series of Student Leaders' Conferences last week. Rob ert Morris, President of the Student Council, explained th e purf th f t th e poses O e con er e~ce ~ 111 forty-thr ee representatives att endance. The main purpose of th ese conferences is to provide the officials of th e many campus clubs with an opportunity to becom e better acquainted. The second obj ective is to advise these officials of current Student Council policies. The final purpose is to enable each officer of a club to disc uss his program policies and problem s with his a ssociates. Morris stated that clubs can achiev e success in acti vities through the use of financial reports and through filing reports for fu - ture r eference. H e added that th e lack o~ a c~ive p_articipatio_n in m~ny organizations 1s due to meffect1ve planning. H e advised th e stud ent leaders to use careful judgement in planning meetings in order to attain smooth, effici ent organizations . The purpos es and fun ctions of the Amincola, The School Spirit Committee, The Student Assembly Committee, a nd the Beacon w er e explained by th e officers of th ese orga ni zations. Detail ed plans for Hom ecoming were also disc ussed. Prior to adjournm ent Mo rris, General Cha irman, question ed th e a ssembly as to th e desirabi lity of s ubseque nt meetings.

Collegians Plan Formal Concert Ensemble Change Wilkes College's musical ambassadors of good will, the Collegians, are rapidly rounding out their Fall program in preparation for several important engagem ents. Under the baton of their new director, Bill P eters, the choristers are planning to present the fir st full formal concert in th e eightyear history of the group. This concert will be on W edn esday, October 29, at Nanticoke High School, and is sponsored by the Baptist Men 's gro-up of that city. Several short performances as warm-ups are scheduled prior to the concert date. The first of these will be Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., when the men will sing at the gymnasium as part of the entertainment for the Parent's Day program. On Friday night, they will sing at th e intermission of the United Fund Dance at the gym. Membership in the chorus is now at an all-time high of 41 voices . The men practice daily during their lunch time and are even scheduling night reh earsals in order to work their r epertoire up to concert pitch. New Uniforms Planned The first major change in uniform is w ell beyond the planning stage . This year's chorus, in concerts of full -scale size, will w ea r t wo costumes. For the sacred and serious numb ers, blue rob es will be worn. In the s econd part of th e show, th e new uniform will be u sed. White coat-s weaters with black , gold-trimmed "WC" embl e ms w ill be part of th e new look. White shirts, black knit ties, and charcoal slacks compl et e the ens emble. Reasons advanced for the change are that the interlocked initials will represent both th e Colleg e and the chorus, and that the overall effect w ill give the chorus a more " collegiate" appearance. In k eeping with the other inno vations, the format of the concerts has al so been slightly r evamped. President Dick Myers will act a s master of ceremonies, reli eving the director of the distracting task of introducing th e numbers.

'................................... l THE ROVING CHIMERA f ~ by Fred Roberts The United States, as of September 30, finds herself at the very questionable mercies of the Red Chinese and of her own allies, the Nationalists, in the Formosa Straits. If Dulles' gamble is not called and a war does not break out, our blunder could paradoxically be a good thing. At least our basic Far Eastern policy in regard to Nationalist China will be subjected to reevaluation - despite the administration's accusations of treason. Chiang Kai- sh ek would like to con tinue his garrisons on the Quemoys and Matsu beca use these islands have effectively blockaded the Red ports of Amoy and Foochow. He also professes to hope that they will serve as stepping stones for his r eturn to the mainland. They are of more immediate import too, because th eir loss might unsettle his r egime on Taiwan. But they are also useful to -Chiang as pawns in drawing th e U.S. into closer s upport of Nationalist aims. If th e U.S. 7th fle et became militarily involved with Red China by attempting to run the bloc-k ad e of Chinese artillery or by aiding th e Nationalist air force in silencing th e Red g un emplacements, or even to bail ·Chian g out afte r a misst ep, Chiang could r eturn to th e mainla nd on the wings of the U.S. eagle. Chia ng expects too much when he a sks us to help defe nd these r eall y insignificant islands at th e r isk of war. The r eds ha ve nothing to lose in maintaining th eir blockad e because we almost surely would not a ttack th e m unl ess they make othe r aggressive mo ves ; so t he islands wi ll eventuall y ha ve to be g iven up . The Warsaw talks th er efore are foredoom ed unl ess we offer something s ubstantia l in r eturn for a cease fir e. Call it appea sement if that term is still valid in thi s nucl ear era, but do not cite Munich to shut off arg um ent, beca use there is little similarity. It is only so und s trategy to meet Communist cha!lenges from so und positions. As an immediate solution to t his s ituation, I s uggest that we agree to forc e Chiang out of Quemoy and Matsu. In return for his withdrawal we would r enew our pledge of mutual defense with Formosa and offer increased aid. We would also promise Red China recognition, a seat in the U .N., and eventual membership on Security Council if she stops her aggressive acts in straits and agrees to an extended cease fire. If she does not a ccept, we will have to continue aiding Chian g in supplying the islands, but we must at all costs ikeep him from attacking the mainland. By becoming a party to U.N. obligation s, th e Red Chinese a ctions would be subject to world debate and censure and th e Reds wou ld lose their 'biggest talkin g point in Asia. She would also be s ubj ect to decisive issues raised by th e West in th e U.N. to separate he1· from th e Soviet and to incr ea sed trad e loosenin g h er dependence on her Communi st a ll y. Ther e is no ess ential moral principl e involved. The isla nds are indefe nsibl e military outpost s h eld by one s ide in a continuing civil war. We ar e not committed to th eir def ense unl ess t hey are deemed vital to Formosan defense, and w e gave up th e Tachens in 1955 under t he sam e condition s. Our presti ge in As ia, .moreover, would probably incr ease a s we yield an unsound pos ition with courage. W e would not lose an ally because Chiang coul d not exist with out us . Recog nition is a r eali sti c acceptance of an a ccompli shed fact; the Reds have entrench ed th emselves on the mainla nd, in fact, abetted by Nationalist s' threats and U.S. hostility, and non-recognition has certainl y not noti ceably weak ened them. It is tim e to retreat from stubborn pos itions to lines which can be defended by the whole Free World. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ... Ed Club Dance - Gymnasium, Tonig ht, 9:00-12 :00.

ALUMNI TO AWARD DISPLAY TRO HY P by Cynthia Hagley · At halftime of the Wilk es-Ursinus game on October 18 , t he alumni will present a trophy to the dorm, or organization that has produced the best display on the Homecoming th em e "Wilkes versus Ursinus ." The displays will be judged on originality of thought, lighting, overall appearance, and adherence to the theme. No more than $ 25 may be spent on each one. Aside from the individual trophy, the name of th e winner will be insc ribed on a permanent trophy kept in one of the Wilkes trophy cases. Any organization wishing to enter the exhibition please contact Allyn Jones in Butler Hall. H e must know, for the alumni, the name of the organization putting on the display, the location of the display on campus, and the person in charge of the production. - - -- - - - Activity Forms Rules Discussed by Leaders In Conference Thurc-day ~ by Florence Gallagher At th e r ecent student leade r s' conference, a report was made by Barbara Federer about the rul e r equiring activity forms to b e filled out by clubs planning various affairs and submitted to the Student Government. Miss Federer told the conference that the lack of information about these forms was the cause of th e frequent violations of thes e rul es. These rules were not laid down by the student body, but w ere handed down by the administration. Until now there have been penalti es imposed for failure to comply with them. However, this year, the penalties retained from last year were considered too harsh and were dropped. No definite action can be taken by the Student Government until it is certain that everyone is familiar with the rules which state that a report of any event being planned must be submitted two weeks prior to the date on which it is to take place. Indications are that a report will be made to Student Government in approximately one month, after which a similar report will be made to representatives of every club on campus to acquaint them with the rules and penalties decided upon.

There was plenty of courag e s ho wn both and off the field as the Colonels faced rugged playing conditions, while three ultra-lo yal fans stood behind them in the driving rain a nd cheered th em on. The game, reflecting th e impossible conditions, was marred by a total of twenty-four fumbles of the sodden pigskin. Thirteen of these were recov ered; six by Wilkes and seven by Vall ey. Runners were ta ckl ed repeatedly because th ey were unable to get going on the gooey s urface, and line play was slow and sluggish. Th e Colonels had a touchdown call ed back when a Spudis-blocked pu nt was grabbed and carried into the end zone by Mike Dydo; there was a penalty against Wilkes, nullifying the score. Later in th e game, the Colonels lost a heart-brea·king scoring op portunity when they fumbled on first down, kno ciking on the touchdo wn door on the Valley three-yard stripe. Rugged line play by Spudis, who blocked two punts and recovered two fum bles, in addition to some fine backfield work by Tom Kriselevicz, Ja y Kubicki, Ray Yanchus, Marv Antinnes, and Bill Michaels kept the Colonels in the game. Of particular value was the uncanny punting of Bill Michaels, this week's w inner of the Beacon Athlete of the Week award. - • SPALDING-RAWLINGS and WILSON Distributors Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES LetterlDg LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS 11 E.

Evenin g stud ents and students not attending this meeting will be mailed forms. For the benefit of fre shman students and some upperclassmen, the Senior Index is a compilation of ea ch student's activities during his college term. This index appears at the end of the yearbook and is important because immediate access of each senior's activities can be obtained. Two of the many new instructors at Wilkes this year are Mr. Chester Colson and Mr. Francis Pinkowski. Mr. Colson is now teaching in the Commerce and Finance department and is also assistant professor in the Art Education department. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Education from Massachusetts School of Art, and later his Masters degree from Columbia University. Before coming to Wilkes, Mr. Colson held the position of an "In Service Teach er" in the Burlington, Vermont, School System. An InService instructor is a unique n ew occupation developed r ecently in education. The instructor is a prob I em solver; he visits the teachers in the individual schools and solves any pr oblems or questions that may have arisen in the classroom that the regular teacher could not handle. He also demonstrates and instructs the t eachers in the new methods of presentation which have EMBASSY RESTAURANT been introduced, or methods that 55-58 Public Square the t eacher did not have in college.

The Rov~g Mi~e assembly fell flat on its face last Tuesday. The usually mterestmg and informative session just couldn't get ~ff the ground. Some of the answers given seemed to us to be little more than beautiful examples of evasion and hedging. Almost every time a question was asked, the answerer began his response by saying that he was "not really an expert on this, ~ut ... " If these people are not the 'experts' on all campus questions, who is? Why weren't the 'experts' up there on the stage where they could answer the honest and well meaning queries asked by an expectant student body? As was the case in past years, several pertinent questions concerning the finance office were asked, but the comptroller was not at assembly - she had not been asked to be there. As a ~esult of this, Mr. Whitby was put on the griddle and made a valiant attempt to answer, as best he could, questions conc7rning the finan':e office. These questions were evidently dll'ected at Mr. Whitby because of the proximity of his office to the con:iptroller's: but we doubt very much that Mr. Whitby makes it a practice to eavesdrop on the conversations carried on in the finance office and therefore he may not be entirely up to date on the plans of that department. VUJICA, HOOVER, AND PICTON NAMED TO COURT OF APPEALS Letters To The Editor: Editor of the Beacon Wilkes ,College Wilkes-1Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Madam Editor: Because I have served on the board of directors of the Georgetown Settlement House for mo·r e than fifteen years and am closest to the work of that institution, the success of the United Fund's current campaign was especially gratifying. The effort gladly put forth by the thousands of workers was characterized by an infectious enthusiasm and a rewarding esprit de corps both of which helped to assure the sixty agencies of more than minimal support for the year, 1960. I am indeed proud to have Wilkes College subscribe its fair share of the total amount raised. Coming after the United Fund's best campaign in years was the offer of Clifford Brothers to contribute five dollars directly to an organization. I want everyone to know how deeply touched I am by this spontaneous and entirely unsolicited donation on the part of Mr. ,Brothers and although he has not specified the G e o r g e t o w n Settlement House as the agency to which he wishes to give directly, I suspect he knows of my connection and I shall be pleased to accept his gift in the name of the settlement house. I can also assure him that the directors are more than pleased to see that the youth of America recognize creeping socialism and are ready to fight it by assuming personal responsibility for the welfare of others by giving freely of their time, talent, and money. Respectfully, Chas. Reif THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION . yve were utt~rly amazed at the response given to a perfectly le~ihmate question concerning the food situation in the cafetena. The general attitude of those 'in the know' seems to be one bordering on the 'that's the way the ball bounces' stand. v_Je are reasonably sure that every member of the administration who ~as on the platform for T1;1esday's assembly knew that the question of the dorm students diet would be raised. Unfortunately none of these officials saw fit to prepare a satisfactory answer to the question. We feel that there is an answer to this problem somewhere, but_ as yet no one has attempted to provide this answer to the resident students. Perhaps the cost of one meal is an irrelevant fact when Jt is considered by a person who is not paying for the meals or, for that matter, eating them - either. But, to the students who are ~aying and eating, this is a relevant point. If ~he explanation can be given in mathematical figures, these fi~ures should not o~ly be given, but they should be acc~pamed by an explanation of how the figures are arrived at. To J~t state that _one meal costs 40 cents is fine - it means nothing to th~ ordmary student. We admit that we know little about the _pnce food when it is bought in quantity, and we h~ve the lDlpression that we are not a minority when we say this. If someone would take the time to sit down with the students and explain the ins and outs of the budget, it will elimithe men of Wilkes: nate most of the complaining that has shown all signs of getting To(To be sung to the tune of "Take out of hand recently.

Named to this group are two faculty members: Mr. Arthur Hoover and Dr. Stanko Vujica; an administrative member, Mr . .Russ Picton; and two students, Fred Roberts and George Reynolds, who were named at the October 21 meeting. Carl Zoolkoski, chairman of the Thanksgiving All-College Dance, reported that a band is being contacted through help of Bob Mo1·an. It was reported that there will be a charge for refreshments to help defray expenses, but that, as usual, there will be no admission charge to this aff'air. In discussion of the Intercollegiate Conference Fund, which is to provide aid for organizations participating in such conferences, the group accepted the plan that financial assistance may not exceed $125 to any one group. A group which is using this fund may request $10 per person or half of total costs. Whichever figure is smaller will be acceptable, so long as it is $125 or less_ Gordon Roberts reported that the United Fund report in last week's Beacon was not the final report; student contributions were much greater than those listed in the paper_ A complete report will be made at a later date. I by Fred Roberts Now that all the political tub-thumping is over, it seems relevant to make a few comments on the state campaign since we saw a good sample of it here on campus. Unfortunately neither party nominated its best candidate for governor, but for the Republicans the choice was more disastrous. On the other hand, both nominees for senator were extremely attractive; young sincere, liberal Governor Leader against experienced, intelligent, hard - campaigning Congressman Scott. The governor's contest became one of isolated issues and party loyalty rather than personality and plaforms. Neither candidate really caught fire, but Lawrence was a more competent campaigner. In general the Democrats tried to campaign on the 'Lawrence-Leader record and on the lack of national leadership by a Republican president - especially in bringing back full employment to Pennsylvania and in formulating a successful foreign policy. The Republicans found these issues rather unattractive, and they tried to turn voter attention to the wage or sales tax, bossism, and Democratic inefficiency in government. This, of course, was legitimate politics, but then the Republica_ns Jed by Scott began running scared, and the innuendos and unproved charges began to circulate. relatively clear despite the usual beclouding. Some form of new tax is necessary if we want the state to provide large-scale social services. The Democrats were charged by the Republicans with intending to push through a wage tax. They backed away from the issue, but the fact is that the Democrats will be mor~ prone to accept new taxes, as Governor Leader had to, in order to meet state debts. Unemployment is a serious prob!em here in Pennsylvania and would have been whether or not Eisenhower were in the White House or Leader in Harrisburg. The Democrats will probably have government take more positive action than the Republicans. As for efficiency, corruption, and waste, the candidates, all -b eing partyoriented, leave little to choose. The Republicans, when they were in, gave us as much bungling and bad politics as they charge the Democrats with. The local Republican handling of the gambling indictments is typical.

Dear Madam Editor: The purpose of this letter is to communicate my sincere "thanks" to the many students of Wilkes, and to the campus organizations who helped this year with our student United Fund appeal. It was a pleasure working with them. Dr. Reif and I wish to extend our appreciation to those who conducted the solicitation and to those who responded. Working for such a worthwhile cause is a privilege. I was happy to be asked to handle this job, and, in so doing, it became for the discharge of a pleasant duty. Many of us are aware of the tremendous good that is done by the United Fund.

The Williamsport school is going through the efforts of establishing soccer as a fall sport and despite last year's 4-0 loss to the Colonels, they are by no means to be underestimated. Last year's Lycoming team is returning almost intact after a fairly successful season. Included in the team roster are a lot of converted football players who play a rough and tumble style soccer game. The game tomorrow should pl'Ove to be, if nothing else, one of the bloodiest the Colonels will participate in.

So far this season, the opposition has scored nine goals compared to twenty-one netted by Wilkes. That is an average of three a game for the Blue and Gold hooters and 1.28 per game for the opposition. The team's record now stands at 4-3 for the season and three wins and two losses i-n Middle Atlantic Soccer Conference play, good for second place. Three games, all against Conference teams, remain in the season. The excellent play of the backfield and the continued fine performance of goalie Bob Payne, coupled with the great line play of Nick Giordano et al, is responsible for this statistical advantage. Next Wednesday, the team travels to Philadelphia to play Philadelphia Textile Institute and on Saturday, November 22, they return home for the final game of the season against Bucknell University. 2-Wilkes 0-Wilkes 4-Wilkes 5-Wilkes 4-Wilkes 0-Wilkes 5-Wilkes SOCCER ..

GERA, CALVIN FREEMAN APPOINTED TO TEACH HERE One of the many new instructors at Wilkes this year is Mr. Calvin Freeman. Mr. Freeman is now teaching in the Biology and Chemistry Deparbnents. __He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He spent two years in the University of Amsterdam in Holland and five months in the University of Barcelona in Spain, . Mr. Freeman received his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia and later his M.S. degree at University of Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman are formerly of Philadelphia and are presently residing at 26 W. Ross St., Wilkes-Barre. They h a v e announced their first addition to their family in the latter part of September. Mr. Freeman said that he is quite pleased with his first teaching position here at Wilkes, and especially admires the friendly attitude displayed by the faculty as well as the students. One of the college's newest teachers is Mr. George Gera, who teaches in the Commerce and Finance department. He is from Eckley, Pennsylvania, a small town near Hazleton. He received his ba.c helor's degree from the Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1949 and his master's degree from the Columbia University in 1951. He did graduate work at the University of Maryland. Mr. Gera taught for two years at the Arlington County and the :Baltimore County public schools, in Maryland. He also taught extension courses at the Pentagon for the Department of Agriculture, and .at other military installations. He taught management courses at the College of Business and Public Administration at the University of Maryland for four years; and for three years he taught night school at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Mr. Gera is particularly interested in the field of personnel problem's of business administration. He considers his post at Wilkes a new challenge in that it is his first at a small college. He is in favor of the small classes at Wilkes, which tend to improve the relations between the teacher and the students, and aid in improving the relationship of the college with the community. CJIEERLEADERS GET NEW UNIFORMS Thanks to the efforts of the Athletic Director, Mr. Ralston, and the Dean of Women, Mrs. Doane, the Wilkes cheerleaders are getting new uniforms. The new outfits will consist of blue and gold gabardine skirts and blue vests. The skirts, which will be the gored type with gold inserts, will be longer and fuller than those of the old uniforms. White or gold blouses will complete the outfit. The uniforms are expected to arrive ~ithin the next two weeks, ~o, w1_th luck, ,,our gals may be , s,p ortmg them on November 15 at the Wilkes-Scranton game. .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - QUALITY Debut of Henrietta II Special Dance Feature At the 'Junior Birdland' by Steve Cooney Henrietta II will make her debut on campus on the night of November 21, 1958, at the Junior Class Dance. Henrietta II is the successor to Henrietta I, the proud lady turkey that was given away last year by the then sophomore class at their annual Thanksgiving Dance. The response to the idea was so tremendous that the juniors have decided to offer a turkey as doorprize once again this year. The theme for the affair will be "The Junior Birdland," and Herbie Green and his eight-piece orchestra will provide the music for the evening. General chairman Lynne Boyle has announced that the admission price will be 69 cents for the dance. IFavors will be given to everyone in attendance. Chairmen of the individual committees are the following : Band, Allyn Jones ; 1·efreshments, Betty George; tickets, Jim Stevens; planning, George Reynolds; decorations, Paul Klein. Publicity chairman Bob Beneski announced that a long-time problem of Wilkes dances will be solved at the "Junior J3irdland." He mentioned that everyone is always complaining about the crowds huddling at the door, but no one ever does anything about it. But the Junior Dance will feature decorations arranged in such a way that it will be impossible to crowd the door. Friday, November 7, 1958 by Florence Gallagher On Wednesday, -October 29, practice began for the girls' basketball team, the Colonelettes. Only a few girls ventured onto the floor for the initial practice but on Monday, November 3, the ranks were swelled by an influx of aspirants. The fr e s h m a n and sophomore classes are well represented, but there are many openings for members of the junior and senior classes still going begging. Membership is open to all girls who have the desire to combine fun with building friendships and the feeling of good sportsmanship through the game. (Ed. Note: It's also a good way to get your shape into shape let's go ladies!) The Wilkes students and faculty would be proud if the girls' team were a good one. The Colonelettes can be a winning team if the girls of Wilkes support it by their spirit and interest. Practice will be held on Mondays at 3 o'clock and Wednesdays at 4 o'clock. All interested girls are urged to attend these practices and try out for the team. e A Varied Menu Superb Drinks at Expert Clolhl• 9 E.

As you can tell by its moniker, the dance will center its theme around Ye Olde Dogpatch. This was chosen because of the nearness of Sadie Hawkins' Day, an occasion which deserves to be well celebrated around Wilkes. The intermission entertainment includes a sack race and an eggthrowing contest (in traditional Dogpatch style). Also, a mysterious personage who has been bewildering Wilkes students for over a week will be revealed at that time. Some lucky person with the right ticket number will win a door pdze. Those are all the vital statistics, now here are some of the details. Dick Kniffen is general chairman of the affair. Working with him are Sandy Ungar and Skip Gladstone, co-chairmen of publicity; Peggy Kratz, chairman of decorations; Bill Davis, chairman of ticket sales; Nick Gatto and Jane Jablonski, co-chairmen of refreshments; Elizabeth Cobourn, chairman of intermission entertainment; and Barry Yocum, chairman of clean-up. The dress will be sporty, but if any hardy souls want to make -up something "Daisy Mae- or Little Abner-ish", go right ahead. At any rate, come to the dance and bring your friends.

At the beginning of the year the old topic of an honor system reared its head and galloped fleetingly across the pages of the Beacon. The story was given the headline on page one simply because we thought that there might have been some feeli~g. pro or con, about the idea. We even suggested that opinions be expressed via the Letter to the Editor column. But, as usual, there was no response to this rather interesting and controversial question. . The so-called Student Leaders didn't show a tremendous amount of interest either, as only about one half of the questionnaires distributed to this esteemed group have been returned to the Student Government Committee. We wonder what would happen if the committee in charge of evaluating the system recommended that it be adopted. If they did this, and if the suggestion were passed into law - so to speak - the turmoil would be tremendous. Everyone would either be screaming or cheering, the Letter to the Editor section would overflow with complaints and compliments, and the Commons' walls would quiver and shake with gusts of wind emitted with the lusty bellows of those stung. The point is, to get any opm1on from anyone on campus you almost have to do something earthshaking like sticking students with pins, or passing a rule without consulting each and every person. We, however, will never let an opportunity to sound off go by. We waited for a full month before we decided to force our opinions on the student body. We had hopes of being able to get in the last word; however, if we must first, that's all right too. Up until May of last year we wouldn't even have considered an Honor System a sane idea, but after finals last spring, we changed our minds fast. The cheating at the annual 'Lap Board Party' was the rule rather than the exception. We discovered that we were not the only one to see the mass departure from honesty, many others commented on it also. With an Honor System, students who see cheating can report it and. have their statements listened to. Under the system we have now, you almost have to have a picture of the crime being committed before the authorities will consider your complaint. This is natural under our present system, we have proctors and they are supposed to be the only viewers of cheating. But we would like to see how four or five faculty members can possibly cover the massive gym effectively enough to see all. They just can't do it - nor should they have to. Four Wilkes Students Passed State Board Nursing-Examinations by Jean Shofranko F our junior Nursing Education majors, listed below, w ere notified recently that they have passed their State Board Nursing Examinations which were held September 26 and 27 in Harrisburg.

Last year Scranton took the measure of the then single-wing eleven by a solid 27-0 score. P et e Carlesimo's Royals earlier this year took a beating at the hands of Boston College, but it was felt that they showed plenty of power a s they stepped far out of their class for that game. They proved this power a week later when they walloped a hapless King's eleven by four touchdowns.

No Politics, ·Please After some heated debating Tuesday night, the Student Government voted to send congratulatory messages to the winning candidates who spoke at the college during the recent campaign.

The JC's drive to get gifts for the patients at Retreat Hospital has gotten tremendous response on campus this year. People are so interested in what is being donated that they have stolen a collection box from Stark Hall in order to inspect the articles more closely.

On November 10th, the Retailing Merchandise classes toured the Lynn Organization, an advertising concern located in the Brooks Building on South Franklin Street. The Lynn Organization, which is a million dollar concern, is primarily connected with manufactured products, such as Wise Potato Chips, Purvin Dairy, Quinlan Pretzels, etc. Mr. Matt Field and Mr. Donald Smith, creative directors of the organization, conducted a question and answer period for the group, which was headed by Mr. Ronald Michman, head of the Retailing Department. The group was shown the various departments in the advertising structure of the organization. For each department, the group was told how that one particular department was directly related to each of the other departments. Similar field trips are planned in the future for the Retail Merchandising classes and for anyone interested in the field of retailing, whether they take retailing courses or not.

The meeting was opened with delivery of the "62 Salute" by Dr. Charles Reif, class sporn,or. President Vic Turoski presided . and asked for suggestions on how to dispose of treasury funds. A .plan was suggested which would channel the money into a scholarship fund to be set up by the class. A definite decision will be made later in the year. Rhea Politis and Mike Bianco gave a report on student government activities concerning freshmen. The class approved with a show of hands the choice of Pocono Mountain Inn as a site for the Winter Carnival. Dr. Reif praised the class for its fine organization and warned against participation in too many extra-curriculars. He also mentioned preparing for mid-years. After adjournment, the class hurried en masse to sign up for having their pictures taken. JUNIOR CLASS At Tuesday's meeting of the junior class, members were urged to support the ticket committee's sales program for tonight's Junior Birdland Dance. Class president John Mulhall promised some unusual "gimmicks" for those in attendance. Plans for a hayride were shelved until after the Christmas holidays, and plans for a class scrapbook will be investigated. Bob Washburn, Student Government representative, will propose that alteration suggestions on final exams procedures be made by the Council. "I have a woman boss." "I'm married too."

The treasurer's report showed a balance of $84.00, but it was not complete since all the dance expenses have not been determined. The Sophomore Executive Council will decide to which organization the money made by the public service project will be donated. Jim Skesavage, Chuck Sorber, and Betsy Hoeschele were nominated of Student Government representatives to take the place of Nick Gatto who has left school. The. voting on this new representative will take pla'ce on Monday at Chase Theater between 10:50 and 1 o'clock. SENIOR CLASS The senior class held its second compulsory class meeting Tuesday morning in the gym with President Rodger Lewis presiding. A final report on United Fund contributions by the class was made, and it was disclosed that approximately 68 per cent of the class gave contributions. Under new business, the class Christmas dance was discussed. The dance will be held on December 19, and Al Anderson's band will provide the music. Lewis stressed sending of personal letters to stu,dents in other schools to inform them of the dance. Plans for an informal party for the January graduates are being formulated under the leadership of Reginald Mattioli. Announcement was also made that at the January 8 meeting, nominations will be held to fill Bob Morris' seat in Student Government. It was announced that a suggestion box has been placed in the Library to collect class suggestions for a class gift to the college. The next class meeting will be December 11. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ••••• ♦• ROVING CHIMER ~-\ ~f ► by Fred Roberts Our allies will inevitably feel less Secretary of Defense McElroy, at his news conference last week, secure in their reliance on us for made it clear that budget considera- military help to equal Russian tions in the Wilson vein are still might in a crisis.

Sixty-minute man Dydo was selected as an outstanding example of determination, endurance, and rugged line play. Mike's qualities on the grid field bring to light all of the good characteristics that should be incorporated in a ball player. The proper combination of aggressiveness and defensive prowess isn't found too often in small college ball, but Dydo's ' abilities would place him on the first string of colleges much larger than Wilkes. The Scranton U. game was just one more test for the 60-minute man, who found this hour test of endurance to be a weekly occurence. The Scranton Royals made a relatively large amount of yardage against the undermanned Colonels, but they did not make it through the tackle position. Mike has had this position 'sewn' up for practically the whole four seasons he has played Colonel ball. The 185-pound guard played his last football game for the Blue and Gold Saturday, but should show us some more sparkle on the baseball diamond next spring. He has lettered in two sports here at Wilkes and also played football and baseball for his high school alma mater, Hanover Township high school.

Royals. There was only a two-point difference on the scoreboard between the opening game and last week's finale. In losing eight games while winning only one, the Colonels suffered five shutouts and themselves hung one on the Ursinus Bears. That win, the first Homecoming win in five years, was thus the only one of the current campaign. The Scranton juggernaut wasted littl e time getting into high gear. On the opening kickoff, junior end John Henling scampered from his own 27 to the Wilkes 19, a jaunt of 54 yards. Following an eight-yard first do\vn pass to Herrling, the sensational sophomore back Bill Kasulis swept his right end for a five-yard touchdown romp with only two n:iinutes and 47 seconds of playing time elapsed. Scoring again in the first quarter, Kasulis put on a brilliant display of end running when he galloped 81 yards to paydirt.

DA VIS, Sports Editor The football curtain rang down for four all-giving seniors last Saturday at Kingston Stadium. These men have given four years of sweat and sometimes even blood to accomplish something that they started out to do. Sometimes finishing a task or reaching a goal that you have to set for yourself turns out to be one of the hardest things in life to accomplish, as many who fell by the wayside will attest. It's just too bad that there isn't space enough in the Beacon to put each of their names in screaming banners and let the world know about these four seniors: Mike Dydo, Ron Ercolani, Bob Yokavonus, Bill Michaels. _. This may seem a little like hero- or athlete-worship, but I'm sure athat anyone who has attended Wilkes these last four years with these people know something of the trials that they encountered in playing for the honor and glory of Wilkes. Now we are engaged in a great contest, testing whether freshmen or any underclassmen think that they can attend Wilkes and maintain their scholastic average while still being active in sports. FACT OR RUMOR? The dark rumors in the air have it that this is a school where you "_either-or." That is if you go out for sports you are either on probation or out of school. Let's use the example of our four seniors to dissipate the fog surrounding this falsehood. This year the basketball team has a total of three freshmen out for what has, for the past three or four years, been a winning team. The swimming team, although relatively new on the campus, has now a total of eleven men out for its second season. Even the ever-illustrious wrestlers are a little sorely pressed for manpower. What tremendous catastrophe has sapped the strength and de-flowered the budding manhood of our young and vigorous males? The football team had a total of 17 men dressed for the Scranton U. game. It is common knowledge on the campus that if only half of the eligible males came out for football, or for that matter any of our eight intercollegiate sports, Wilkes would have some of the 'winningest" teams that ever brought home the bacon to their alma mater. DREAMERS I for one might be considered one of those incessant dreamers who every once in a while, catches himself musing over making that last~ minute TD or swishing the ball through the net from mid-court in the last few seconds of play. What is it that transforms some of our dreamers into athletes of real note? "'." e have had some very good athletes emerging with degrees from this college. Could it possibly be that our students might be tagged with the ugly word, "lazy"? Let's hope not. I would rather believe that they are "snowed" by the nasty rumors. TROUBLES It is true that some of our athletes have been in academic hot water, but so have students who have never even been remotely connected with sports. It might be that our males have no confidence in their abil!ties, that is, underconfidence in their ability to study and also compete m sports. Whatever the reason for our lackadaisical attitude the least that we might sacrifice for the valiant few who do make ~p the sporting world, is to attend the games played. CHEERS Which brings up another subject. Where were all of the lungclearers and color-wavers at the last few home games? We know that it is sometimes difficult to attend the away games, but last week we would bet even money that the Scranton crowd was just as large as our own. Now there is also a "littl_e" known game of soccer that is played by some of the students at this college and I have it by the grapevine tha~ they _are playing a team ~ailed B~cknell tomorrow at Kirby Park. A ht~le bird also let o~t the mformahon that our team is one of the best, if not the best, which ever donned a Blue and Gold soccer uniform Now, if it wouldn't disturb your lethargy too awfully much I'm sur~ that the team would like to have a little background noise as they wind up the season. · Chuck Robbins e PENN BARBER SHOP e Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods.

The action taken by the Administrative Council was the first of its kind in recent years. The Administrative Council ap,. proved the budget with the exception of the $100 contingency fund. This contingency fund is money set aside as a buffer in case of emergencies. The Administrative Council suggested that this fund \should be raised to $200 by decreasing the original $1000 Manu. script budget by $100. George Black, editor of the Manuscript, was present at the meeting and added to the discussion by enumerating thP. policies of the Manuscript and by stating that the increase in the Manuscript's budget has been gradual. Although he said that the Manuscript would , oppose the $1~0 cut, he did state that the cuttmg of the Manuscript's budget would cut its capacity to publish an adequate literary magazine. Black also commented that other colleges, smaller than Wilkes, published a larger magazine. Winter Carnival Another important topic of discussion was the Winter Carnival which will be held on January 29 at Poconom Mountain Inn from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The total cost of this affair will be $200 which will -,be taken from the student activities fund. All students wishing to ski or skate should supply their own equipment. Refreshment and entertainment will be provided. Transportation will be provided by buses. All College Dance The forthcoming All College Dance on January 2 from 9 to 12 was also discussed. The general chairman of this dance is Bill Davis. Assisting him are Rhea Politis, chaperons; Cynthia Dyleski, publicity; Marty Menegus, music; Charles Sorber, decorations; Mike Bianco, refreshments; and G or d o n Roberts, entertainment. Music will be provided by Jack Melton and his twelve-piece band. Charles Sorber, a member of the ophomore class, was recognized as a new member of the Student Government. Since this is Bob Morris' last semester at school and Barbara Federer has resigned from the Student Government because of illness, the dates of the nominations and elections of two senior members of the Student Government were decided. On December 11 the nominations for the two senior representatives will be held, and on January 8 elections will take place in Chase Theater. Post cards will be sent to those senior accounting majors who will not be able to vote at this time. by Richard J. Myers Today is the day when over 1,000 Wilkes students have an opportunity to help their community to help others. Never has there been a more worthy cause than the blood-bank insurance program instituted by the college. The South Franklin Street home of the Wilkes-·B arre Chapter of the American Red Cross will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. today for students to help fill the blood insurance supply for themselves and their families. The program works on a deposit and withdrawal basis. Each pint of blood donated by a Wilkes student or faculty member represents a pint of blood credited to the needs of not only the donors, but even the needs of the families of Wilkes people. Whatever is used, however, must be replaced. In past years, participation by Wilkes students has fallen off considerably. John Reese, chairman of the campus drive, stated that he would like to see this lack of participation erased this year. Past years have seen competition for percentage of donors between clubs and organizations on campus, but it has been said that such donations should not have to come as the result of artificial inducement, rather from the free will of the people who are most likely to benefit from the program, should the need ever arise. The freshman class has served official 'notice that they intend to present the most solid performance as they attempt to get the highest percentage of donations from their ranks. Officials at the local Red Cross chapter are quick to realize the fears some people may entertain at the thought of giving their blood. They cite two important factors to dispell the fear. One: the body is supplied with approximately a gallon and three or four pints. The pint taken will not damage the body in any way by its absence. Further more, the liquid will be replaced in about 24 hours. Two: modern processing techniques permit almost indefinite storage of the vital fluid. This enables the organi,z ation to preserve blood whole or as plasma and the operation of the usage procedures allows a wide range of storage and transportation methods designed to get the blood where it is needed in the shortest possible time. Best selling point of all is the simple, truthful statement, "It doesn't hurt a bit."

This year's party, according to co-chairmen Mary Louise Spinelli and Hugh Gladstone, will be bigger and better than ever. First and most important, all students and faculty members of Wilkes College are eligible to attend the party free of charge. For the gourmets of Wilkes a tasty buffet style meal will be served. Those attending will also Plans Nearly Complete For Christmas Formal Following through with their theme the Psychology-Sociology and History Clubs, who are jointly sponsoring the dance, promise a full evening of dancing and refreshments and a "low overhead" admission price of only fifty cents. This meager admission charge will be accomplished mainly by a streamlined budget, and through the use of "plain pipe racks" (for coats.) Because of the upcoming Lettermen's Formal, and the holiday season, the clubs felt that student Bob Davis by Richard J. Myers Men of Wilkes are warned that time and tickets for the annual Lettermen's formal dance are running out. The limited ticket supply is reported to be dwindling fast, but the remaining ducats are still in circulation and can be purchased from any letterman. Time, of course, continues on its relentless march to the magic date, Friday, December 12. All arrangements have been made to ease the task of preparing for attendance at one of the most popular events of the school calendar. General co-chairman Carl Zoolkowski and Bob Yokavonus have put the committees to work arranging for decorations, favors, program, entertainment, refreshments, and have left no stones unturned in providing ways and means of getting flowers and wearing apparel. The only thing a Wilkes man has to locate for himself is a date. Millie Gittins, charming proprietress of the Bookstore, has a list posted in her domain telling of the best in corsage bargains, while Baum's and John B. Stetz offer a wide selection of men's formal attire to suit any form, any pocketbook.

EDITORIAL - Closed Doors? Two weeks ago the Administrative Council rejected the Student Government's pro 'p osed extra-curricular activities budget. The budget then went back into committee. The new Student Government Constitution states that meetings of the goyernment are open to all students - yet we were not allowed to sit in on the meeting. We had no intention of contributing our two cents worth to the discussion, we just wanted to hear what went on, and we feel that we were completely within our rights in asking this. In our opinion there is no reason to have closed meetings of any part of the Student Government - full session or committee meeting. The Student Government is composed of representatives of the student body, they are not a group of individuals chatting over a cup of tea at a social. Every decision made in committee or in a regular session of the Student Government concerns the students and they should have the right to see how these decisions are made. We hope that this matter will be discussed by the government and that their decision is included in the constitution. -mjk SENIOR INDEX 'LOCAL GOVERNMENT' DISCUSSED TUESDAY by Phyllis Iannuzzo THETA DELTA RHO TO HOLD OLD PEOPLE'S YULE PARTY At the December second Wilkes College ·a ssembly, Dr. Hugo Mailey addressed the student body. The topic he chose to speak on was "Local Government." The program was opened with a hymn and a reading from the Bible. Dr. Farley read a few announcements and introduced Dr. Mailey. Dr. Mailey stated that political office holders cannot be professionals because they would not have the people at heart but would be interested only in their personal gain. He also stated that definite trends are being sh.own towardplanning and that unplanned communities are expensive places to live in. Planning is done on a regional basis using such devices as -z oning and housing programs. Local officials are putting more emphasis on the future. The different systems of government used in this area and the percentages of cities using them are: 41 % of cities have mayors, and 40 % of cities use the manager system. The manager system is moving up at the rate of 2 and 3% a year. by Marilyn Krackenfels Tax Clinic on Campus Today and Saturday; Guest Speakers Listed For the benefit of those seniors who were not at the last class meeting and therefore did not fill out their senior index cards, the Beacon is providing a form to be filled out for this purpose.

December 5, 1958 WILKES COLLEGE l3EACON BERLIN HIT BASED ON TRUE STORY Tunes, Sparkling Story Made Show a Success Throughout the World Hailed by critics as Irving Berlin's greatest musical comedy success, "Annie Get Your Gun," Cue 'n' Curtain's curre nt production, sparkles with music, romance, and guns. The play, honored by theatregoers with a 144-week run on Broadway, is based on the real life story of Annie Oakley, America's most famous markswoman who could shoot "the fuzz off'n a peach" with her trusty rifle. The play comes from the pens of the famed brother-sister writing team of Herbert and Dorothy Fields, who wrote it specifically as a vehicle for well-known songstress Ethel Merman. ABOVE - Annie is asking why she has to share a stateroom with two Buffaloes on the trip from abroad. Steve Cooney, center, portrays the role of Buffalo Bill Cody in the play. The company is returning triumphant, but broke, from a tour abroad. The 'card table' is a chest full of medals won by Annie on the trip. The glamour and excitement of Buffalo •Bill's Wild West Show during its American and European tours of the late nineteenth century provides the background for the musical. The story relates how sharpshooter Annie proves herself an equal to the show's crack shot, Frank Butler. A romance blooms between the two, yet, it is almost destroyed because of their professional rivalry until Annie realizes that "You Can't Get a Man With a Gun." ***** BELOW - Barbara Cusick, left, as Annie, is shown singing "Doin' What Comes Naturally" in the first act of the WilkesKiwanis production at lrem Temple. Annie is trying to sell quail to the hotel manager who wants two dozen birds - all killed with one shot. Helping Annie are her three sisters and brother played by Sally Smith, Jerry Baird, Valentine Williams and Donnie Rosensweig. Barbara Cusick and Wayne Walters in the leading roles of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler As a composer, Irving Berlin needs little introduction to America's lovers of pops. Since his first big hit back in 1911, "Alexander's Ragtime Band," he has written literally hundreds of songs, in. eluding: "Give Me Your Tired Your Poor," "God Bless America,: perennial favorites "White Christmas". and "Easter Parade," "Say It With Music," and "This Is the Army." His score for "Annie" treats the public to more of his fine achievements in son2'. "Annie Get Your Gun" opened its noteworthy iBroadway run on May 16, 1946, with Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton in the principal roles. Widespread praise of the production brought about the formation of a London company ' (starring Dolores Gray) which continued there for some 500 performances, and a number of tourtg· tmpanies throughout the rl ,--------------------- ...... ,,.,-,,, w~~~ro~~~i~~~ c~:ee% i::~ 0!~~a~ ~.~~~::;:~::·;:::; • ~ CITY SHOE REPAIR February 12, 1949, it had played to approximately 1,500,000 persons for a box office gross of $6,000,000.

Millions of others were able to view the production via Hollywood and the M.G.M. musical of 1950 which starred Betty Hutton and Howard Keel. "Annie" was revived in New York ea1:ly this year as the first of a series of musicals at City Center.

Tomorrow at 8 p.m., Team Travels Monday Booters End Year In Overtime Win Over Bucknell Us Coach Jim Ferris and his booters wrote a successful finish to the 1958 season, taking a thrilling, 2-1 overtime victory over the Bucknell Bisons. The victory was the seventh of the last eight contests and the two goals were the 25th and 26th of the year. The Colonels held the opposition throughout the season to a mere total of twelve in ringing up a 7-3 record, best in Wilkes history. The Bucknell game, played before a fair-sized, chilled home crowd on November 22, ended in a 1-1 tie. The Colonels jumped to a 1-0 lead with only minutes gone by when Carl Havira arched a neat pass to Nick Giordano, who rifled a bullet-shot past the Bisons' goalie. The Wilkes offense continued to dominate the game through the remainder of the first half, keeping the pressure on Sharp, the Bucknell goalie. The tide turned after the halftime intermission, however. The Bisons put on a sustained drive, but the Colonels managed to stall each scoring third period threat and throughout much of the fourth. Late in the final period, however, the Bisons ganged up on goalie Bob, ·P ayne and banged in a goal to tie the match.

Keeping up their home winning stretch, the Blue and Gold ran hard, shot well, and fought gamely. Even though a last second goal was registered by Lycoming the final score read Wilkes 79, Lycoming 71. Led by the amazing jump shot of Fran Mikolanis, the home team jumped off to an early lead which they never relinquished. Mikolanis' deadly corner shot broke the resistance of the Lycoming Bears in the first half, when in a matter of 60 seconds he poured three long attempts through the hoop. George Gacha played his usual fine floor game, and also contributed 18 points. George displayed excellent ball-handling near the climax· of the contest when Lycoming went to an all-court press. Ron Roski, ex-Plymouth cager, came through in a banner manner, taking over for the the depa1·ted George Morgan and scoring 17 big points.

Drink ~~ SIGN OF GOOD TASTE Bottled under authority of The Coca-Cola Company by KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY 141 Wood Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Last year the Colonels had little trouble with Coach Ellis McCracken's squad, but the Dutchmen are rapidly improving and count on the Wilkes loss of four key men to equalize the meet. Three of the four graduated team members were first-place winners in the second straight Wilkes team-championship in the Middle Atlantic tournament. They are: Jim Ward, Bobby Morgan, and Dave Thomas The fourth Keith Williams, wa~ also a st ell;r perform er for coach Reese for four years and has now taken over the coaching chores at Meyers High School. Despite the loss of these stalwarts, Reese is banking heavily on sensational Walt Glogowski, captain and speedy 177-pounder; and newcomer Dick Stauffer, Kingston grad and Pennsylvania State champion last year, to bring the team through the season. Marv Antinnes, last year's surprise package from the freshman class, will return at 167. If last year's brilliant work by this twoletter Forty Fort whiz ..kid is any indication, he should be one of the top men on the team this season. The lower weights cause Reese a lot of concern. After he fills the 123-slot, he still has to face the problems of filling the 130, 137, and 147 classes. Both Joe Morgan and Ron Bienkowski are both good bets for one of these spots, most likely at 137 and 147. The troublesome weight appears to be 130, where Bill Smith and Mike Armstrong both seem to present the best c h a n c e s but neither have had a great deal of varsity wrestling. An outside possibility at 130 is newcomer Jim Brewster. Brewster has ·the strength for the spot, but a seven-year layoff since high school wrestling days may prove a tough obstacle to overcome. Brewster will enter the Holiday Open Tournament, which should give an indication of his ability to get into competitive shape. Trimming down to 157 pounds, Joe Dombek may. very well take permanent posses~10n of that class. Joe developed rapidly last year and wa~ use~ '.1~ several of the upper weight d1v1s10ns.

Several others bear watchmg as possible "sleepers" for starting berths. Dick Weiss, at 123 pounds, is a proven performer, as is heavyweight Bob Sislian. Newcomers who may break into the varsity ranks are: Bob Conway and Warren Greenberg, 123; John Hosage, 130; Girard Senick, 137; John Delmore, Jim Neddoff, Ed Stofko, and Ted Toluba, 157; Nelson Pappucci, 177; and Tony Korch at heavyweight.

Some of the Davismen who will face this year's stiff competition are: r eturning letterman George Gacha, who was one of last year's ace playmakers; Bernie Radecki, another junior holdover from last year's tremendous squad; and Fran Mikolanis, who seems to be showing plenty of the rebounding ability for which he is particularly noted. The two tallest men on the team are veteran Ron Roski at 6'-4" and Bernie Kosch at 6'-6". They should have their hands full trying to fill the shoes of last year's all-time high scorer George Morgan. Roski and Kosch are both sophomores this year with plenty of time for improvement. Two more r eturning juniors from last year's team are Walt Angielski and Ralph Hendershot. Angielski is a 6'-3" junior, form erly from Plymouth High School. Hendershot, who will see a lot of action at guard, hails from Larksville. Two "out-of-towners" Barry Yocum and Clem Gavenas, 6'-3" and 6'-1" respectively, will also be out trying to nail down two permanent forward positions on the squad. John Kuhar, a junior from Plymouth, is shooting for a steady guard position. John Salsburg, a sophomore from Harter, who should offer steady relief at the forward position, make up the rest of the upperclassmen on the team. Three freshmen, who will probably see no action in the first few games are George Tensa, Richard Foy, and Tom Pugh. All seem to be adding to the Colonel depth and all three are additions from the Plymouth side of the river. SWIMMING January: Home, 2:00 IO-Dickinson December 24-Scranton ..... ,..

All is peaceful - or is it? Let's listen in ... Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa-la-la . . . SHUT UP!!! Now is the time to be merry ... W.ILL YOU SHUT UP!!! !But . . . QUIET! I have to finish this termpaper now. ,B ut . . . I said I have to do this paper now, so I can start on the one that was due two weeks ago and have that finished by vacation time. Then I can start on the one that was due last week and get that done so I can start on the one that is due when we get back. Oh, how do you write a term paper? Well, first you cut class the day the paper is announced - that way you put off the inevitable for a little while. Then you rush up to your instructor and tell him how interested you are in the educational facilities on the island of Window shade and could you do a little outside work on the topic? ? Don't look too surprised when he tells you that you have to do a termpaper - after all, he knows that you have friends in the class. The 'word' gets around the faculty too. Now that you are stuck with the topic - go to the library and look it up in the card catalogue. Find it? No? Wonderful!! This is a good excuse to put the whole thing off until next Friday. Unfortunately next Friday d·oes come around and you return to the library and, by some stroke of disastrous luck, find your topic, listed under 'The Educational Facilities of Window-shade'. There's no getting out of it now - onward to the books. Four flights of long, steep stairs later, we find ourselves in the far back room, standing on a chair reaching for the top shelf. Not there! Gone! How could they? Now what to do . . . . Walk down the steps, don't jump, that will attract attention. Don't look lost or bewildered as you pass the desk, some helpful detective may just happen to know where the book is - avoid Librarians at all costs, they know who has the book. 'Beware. Look out! Here comes Prof. Hickenhopper. Ye gads, he has the book! Act nonchalant, the paper is only a week overdue. Thank you Prof. Hickenhopper, yes, I was looking for it, yes, I know that the paper is late, but you see I was trying to get all available sources so I could do a really good job on it. Oh, your doing your thesis on the subject? Since there will be no plagerism on this one, and Hickenhopper knows the subject, what's the use? Friday, · December 5, 1958 I.R.C.

The terian Church next Tuesday at 11 meeting was held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. o'clock. Featured in the always enjoyable program will be the Mixed, Girls' and Men's choruses. The traditional affair will include a brass ensemble in addition to the individual and combined efforts of the three choruses. Each of the choral groups will present a sampling of its Christmas music. John Detroy, general conductor of the program, will direct the mixed chorus in several traditional C{lrols. Jean Pyatt, conductor of the Girls' chorus, and Bill Peters, director of the Collegians, will lead their groups as each sings its portion of the program. Wayne Walters will sing the baritone oratorio solo and the combined choruses will fill in on "The Heavens are Telling." The program will present a complete and varied range of choral work. The mixed chorus numbers are arranged for four-part harmonies with two male and two female parts. The girls' chorus will present music written in three-part harmony for female voices, while the Collegians' contributions are written for four-part male voices. The combined choruses will climax the program with the moving Maria Callas has a job at Cape and forceful "Hallelujah Chorus" Canaveral. It is the only place from Handel's o r a t o r i o, "The she has not been fired from. Messiah." This organization has the following aims: (1) To coordinate the activities of the International Relations Clubs of the various colleges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, (2) To encourage individual International Relations Clubs to discuss international affairs objectively, and to promote an interest in international problems among the student bodies of the various colleges. The object of the meeting was to elect state officers, plan a convention, and to select a college to act as host for the convention. The f o 11 o w i n g people were elected to state offices in the Pennsylvania Association of International Relations Clubs: President, Clinton P. Chin from Villanova; Vice-President, Bob Milkman from Penn State University; Secretary, Kay Kirsch from Wilson College; Treasurer, D a 1 e Wagner from Wilkes; Parliamentarian, ,Bob Davis from Wilkes; P.A.I.R.C. Adviser, John M. Hodgson of Wilkes. It was decided that the P.A.I.R.C. State Convention would be held at Villanova College in the latter part of February. The theme for the convention will be problems in the Middle East. The three State officers of P.A.I.R.C. and various other members of the Wilkes College International Relations Club will represent Wilkes College at this conven- tion in February. The International Relations Club would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to all prospective members to attend the weekly meeting at 12:00 noon on Wednesday.

LETTER TO THE' EDITOR EDITORIAL - Orchids for 'Annie' The saga of sharp-shooting Annie Oakley hit a new high last week as the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis and Cue 'n' Curtain combined to present what was, in our opinion, the best musical ever put on by the college. After some of our more careful snooping, we finally found out how that bird managed to fly off Dolly Tate's hat in the first act; but try as we may we still can't figure out how Mr: O'Toole painted such beautiful scenery effects. We have seen quite a few plays recently, some 'big time' and others 'small time', but this is the first occasion that we have ever heard an audience burst out in spontaneous applause for the scenery. Mr. O'Toole out-did himself on the setr, for the harbor scene in act 3. Our sincere congratulations to Mr. O'Toole for a job well done. While we are passing out the bouquets, we would like to givo the biggest one of the bunch to director Al Groh. He did an amazrng job of getting the play into shape and ready for opening night Mr. Groh did yeoman duty during the long rehearsals and rates enthusiastic congratulations from everyone. Proving that there's no business like show business, the entire cast of "Annie" performed like professionals. Miss Barbara Cusick, as Annie, had 'em rollin' in the aisles through the whole show. Her devilish interpretation of the Berlin hit, "Doin' What Comes Naturally", had the audience gasping for breath as they tried to laugh, cheer and applaud at the same time. When the audience wasn't in hysterics, they were sitting up and taking notice as Miss Cusick did a beautiful job of acting her part. Wayne Walters was his usual superb self. His charm thrilled not only the gals on the stage but those in the audience as well. Out of the Wild West came the one and only Buffalo Bill, alias Steve Cooney, who did an excellent job of handling the idiosyncrasies of show people. Mr. Cooney did much to make us feel that we were actually back in the days when men were men and women were women, and they'd shoot anyone who said it wasn't so. The insults fired back and forth between Fred Malkemes and Judy Blutman kept us on our toes. We didn't want to miss any of them. Gene Stickler, Robert Stevens and John Salva and on through the cast; the chorus, dancers and the crew - everyone did their share, and they did it well. So, to the nearly one hundred people who helped Annie get her gun - congratulations! mjk W-B-R-E AIDS RETREAT DRIVE; JAYCEES TO FETE CHILDREN by Lee Baiera The Wilkes Jaycees will hold a Christmas party for the underprivileged children who belong to the S o u th er n Branch of the Y.M.C.A. The affair will be held from five to eight tonight on the second floor of the College Commons. Each Jaycee will bring two gifts; these gifts will be distributed among the children. A mock wrestling match will be held between ",B attling Bob" Morris and "Gorgeous John" Rentschler. Refreshments will be served, and games and cartoons will round out the evening. General chairman of the party is Dick Salus, assisted by the following committee heads: Frank Steck, refreshments; transportation, Bob Dominick and Myron Suseek; and clean-up, John Suseck. Santa Claus, in the person of Paul Schecter, will visit the assemblage, and distribute the gifts to the children. ***** Retreat Collection The annual collection of articles for patients at Retreat State Hospital, which began on November 10 and ended on December 10, proved I I to be very successful. In this year's collection the following articles were collected: four phonographs, twenty record albums, three cameras, stuffed animals, cards, jewelry, and clothing. A substantial boost was given to this collection by the men of Butler Hall at a party at their dorm on Tuesday evening, Novemher 25th. Admission to the party was a donation to the hospital. The party proved to be a huge success. On Friday, December 5th, from 9 to 5 o'clock, members of the Jaycees were on hand at the gym to receive telephone calls to collect articles which people wished to contribute. At a special broadcast from the Wilkes gym, Frank La Barr informed listeners of thls drive over his program, "Hall of Hits." The articles that were collected will be presented to Mr. Dayton at the Retreat State Hospital at a future date. Ira Himmel served as chairman of this drive. He was assisted by the following committees: Mike Goobic, publicity; Paul Schcter, Myron Suseck, and Dick Salus, transportation; Bob Dominick, posters; Jim Moser, fliers . WILKES COLLEGE BEACON The rush of applause and the glitter of the floodlights are all gone now. The excitement backstage, the congratulations and the condolences, they're gone, too. By most reports, Annie Get Your Gun was a great show; it was compared by many to the Broadway production which played before packed houses for two and one-half years. Now that the excitement of the extravaganza is all gone we, the members of the cast, would like to express are deepest appreciation to the three men who MADE the show: Al Groh, Bill Crowder, and Catha! O'Toole. Without these men, the director, musical director, and the set designer, we would not have had a show, good or bad. Often times in cases such as this, the persons who really deserve the credit somehow get lost in the shuffle. This is the reason why we are taking the time and space of the Beacon to say simply "thanks" to our three co-ordinators. Members of the Cast and Crew. Musical Organizations Combine in Christmas Assembly on Tuesday by Marilyn Krackenfels The annual Christmas assembly of the college was conducted on Tuesday in the appropriate setting of First Presbyterian Church, South Franklin Street. The three choral organizations of Wilkes, the mixed chorus, the Collegettes, and the Collegians, under the direction of Mr. John Detroy, Jean Pyatt, and William Peters, respectively, rendered various appropriate Christmas selections. The numbers done by the entire group were: "The Heavens are Telling" by Haydn, featuring Jean Pyatt, Wayne Walters, and Walter Umla, and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah. The mixed chorus performed three _numbers: "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" by Shaw, "The Lord Reigneth" by Williams, and the spiritual "Go Tell It on the Mountain." For their part in the program, the Collegettes sang two carols, "Hasten Swiftly, Hasten Softly" and "Rise Up, Shepherd." Mary Jean Sakoski was featured soloist in the latter number. The contributions to the program by the Wilkes Collegians were "The Echo Song" and a Slovak carol entitled "Rise Up Early." In a slight change of pace, Wayne Walters gave a baritone solo of Haydn's recitative "In Splendour Bright." In addition to these numbers, the entire assembly joined in singing three carols.

Davis Business Manager _-------------------------------- Peggy Salvatore Faculty Adviser ------------------------------------------------ F. J. _S alley December 8, 1958 Editor Wilkes College Beacon Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Madam Editor: You were not allowed to sit in on a budget committee meeting. Did you even once stop and ask yourself why? I should say not; otherwise, you would not have painted such a distorted picture as the one presented in your Editorial, Wilkes College 'Beacon,' December 5, 1958. The committee in question met with each organization prior to drafting the Extracurricular Activities budget. The Beacon was given equal time to express their "two cents worth". The committee, much like a jury then had to deliberate and render their decision. It is such a deliberation and not "over a cup of tea at a social" that you wished to sit in. You were refused admission to this committee meeting out of fairness to each and every organization on this campus. The action of the budget committee is entirely justifiable in so far as to do otherwise would have been in poor taste. In closing, madam editor, I would simply like to make note of the fact that as always "Student Government" meetings are open to all students who wish to attend. Very truly yours, Paul A. Klein M r. Klein : The very fact that we wrote an editorial about the subject in the first place answers the above question. We are not in the habit of dashing off editorials without giving the topic considerable thought. In fact as shown by Mr. Klein's question, we did more thinking on th subject' than he did. We took the trouble to do more than a little thinkimr, we also did >"o me checking into the s ubie~t. You. Mr. Klein , evidently did not find it necessary to do anything more than explode an angry burst of personal anger. Before we voiced our objection to being excluded from the meeting, we talked with the Parliamentarian of the Student Government, Gordon Roberts. Unfortunately Mr. Klein, you did not bother to do this. Mr. Roberts agrees with us in our objections and if anyone is an authority on constitutional interpretation, Mr. Roberts is. We also took the time and trouble to ask Bob Morris what he thought of the situation. It is a _shame that you did not find it necessary to check a few facts yourself. Morris stated that he did not know the answer to the problem either. As far as our "painting such a distorted picture" of the circumstances, this is but utter nonsense. We were writing about something that happened to us, we were there. You, Mr. Klein, were not there when we were refused admission to the meeting, therefore you are not in any position to know what is a distortion of the facts and what is the truth. You also found it to your liking to turn your back on the point of the editorial we wrote. You ignored the fact that we were not, in any way crticizing the buget committee alone. We stated quite clearly that we "hope that this matter will be discussed by the Government and that their decision is included in the Constitution." We do not feel that this needs any explanation; however, if we must spell out our meaning we will do so. We have found in the past that there is some confusion among members of the Student Government as to whether members of the STUDENT BODY are to be allowed to sit in on committee meetings of the Student Government. We were, and still are, seeking an answer to this question. We want this to be discussed by the government and we also want their decision on the matter made public so that the confusion will be cleared up. Whatever the Government as a whole (not one member) decides, we will abide by their decision simply because the Government is USUALLY a sensible group and should know what is best. We still hold that committee meetings should be open, however. Finally, a word to the wise. Mr. Klein, the next time you become the mouthpiece for someone else, instead of listening to only one side of the story, check the facts. You are never wrong when you are sure of the truth. mjk PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant Editorial and business olfices located on third floor of 159 South STEAKS - SEA FOODS - CHOPS Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, on Wilkes College campus.

Second, it is moot for two reasons whether a small college like ours should undertake massive musical productions like this one. For one thing, the expense of time and energy on the part of all hands may be excessive. For another, this is at best popular musical theatre, which can be done better and more appropriately by others. It can be argued that the college ought to do experimental or classical shows which do not necessarily have a mass appeal, but which can be done modestly and seriously in a college while they are not likely to be done anywhere else. These are reservations, not detractions. Mr. Groh and his whole gaudily bedizened troupe merit only our applause. What a crazy world we live in, It's wonders never cease.

Chapman The critic's despair here, trying to give a sound report of last week's Annie Get Your Gun, is numbers. About a hundred people took part in the production, and they all did well separately and in ensemble. Merely to print their names would take more space than we have, and so much that ought to be said will go unsaid. To speak of the total impression: pace, coherence, balance, composition, and the like, it could hardly be improved. Everything worked together to give the show a gay and a crisp style. The director, Mr. Alfred Groh, must be especially praised for adapting this rapid and witty musical bit, designed for rthe small Broadway houses, to the appalling vastness of !rem Temple, surely designed for pageants with r eal elephants. Mr. William Gasbarro and his •pit orchestra not only played the Irving Berlin music brightly, but held their dynamics in check and never drowned out the singers. The settings by Mr. Cathal O'Toole and his band of illusionists defined the usable playing space while their audacious colors gave a vibratory lilt to the whole show. The third act setting of New York Harbor in itself evoked murmurs and applause from the audience. Barbara Cusick both as singer and actress played a plausible Annie IOakley, stressing the girlishness of the great sharpshooter. She thus wisely avoided comparison with Ethel Merman, who could be imitated only by a large airraid siren. And an air-raid. Wayne Walters, of course, we can now depend upon for a polished performance. He acts well, and he sings better than any of us deserves. Fred Malkemes had much to do with the pact of the show, whipping it along as Charley Davenport, the pitchman-impresario. by Connie Stukowski The Student Government is making final preparations for the second annual Christmas All College Dance which will take place on Friday evening, January 2, in the gymnasium. The turnout at the annual Thanksgiving Dance for all colleges had been so great in the past that last year the Student Govern,.. "nt initiated the Christmas affair. The result was an instant success. All vacationing students of the Wyoming Valley area are invited to attend the dance which will feature dancing from nine to twelve to the strains of Jack Melton's 12piece orchestra. Bill Davis, general chairman for the function, has announced that the decorations for the evening will feature pennants from the various colleges attended by local students. No admission fee will be charged, and free refreshments will be served to all those attending. Because the event will take place during the holiday vacations when students will be home, invitations will not be sent out, but rather the event will be publicized in the local newspapers. Assisting Bill Davis on the dance committee will be the following students: Cynthia Dysle!l'ki, publicity; Gordon Roberts, entertainment; Rhea Politis, chaperones; Bob Washburn, music; Charles Sorber, decorations; and Mike Bianco, refreshments.

He proved to be a worthy successor to Wilkes' all-time great George Morgan by "ripping the nets" with 17- and 20-point outbursts in the initial contests of the season. In spite of the opponents' tight defenses, the 6-4 sophomore center spearheaded Coach Eddie Davis' ch11-rges with his agile hook-shots and his nimble lay-ups. Both the Warriors and the Crusaders had extreme difficulty in finding a man who possessed the height and speed of the Blue and Gold "bucketman." This proved disastrous to both teams as they were forced to double-team him, thus allowing other sharpshooting Wilkes' cagers to roam loose. He was also quite eminent on defense; his aggressive rebounding thwarted many scoring attempts of the baffled opponents. Although seemingly small for a pivot man in college ball, Ron possesses the great jumping power and speed necessary for stardom. With two more full seasons ahead of him, he should become one of Wilkes' greatest performers. "Big Steve" graduated from Plymouth High School, class of 1953, where he starred in football and basketball.

This motion was made by Paul Klein and the vote on it was ten in favor, one opposed and one abstention. The discussion on this subject lasted for about fifteen minutes. It was pointed out that ·a n organization such as the Beacon could attend a committee meeting and then print a biased article on that meeting. P ertaining to the part of .the motion that states the president can close a committee meeting if he find s it necessary, it was mentioned that this would give a committee m emb er more freedom to discuss an activity if members of that activity were not present. The president must be convinced of the importance of having a committee meeting closed· before h e officially decides to close it. The Parlia m entarian of the Student Government said that nothing has ever been stated legally about Student Government committee m eet ings being clos_ed or opened.

Teachers come in all t ypes - small, large, funny, boring, experienced, just-out-of-college, sadistic, and kind; but all have the same creed - to get as much work as possible as often as possible out of as many as possible, and to protest with ·o•s, their only weapon, when the student's natural inertia fails to produce. Prin cipals hire them, students tolerate them, mothers suspect them, and t enure of office protects them. A teacher is Mercy passing out final exams, Wisdom barreling through t he halls against traffic, Love handing out "Subtract three from 10 thousand," Interest saying "What are you doing in your locker now, son?"

But the Russians quickly pricked the newly inflated national ego with their pioneering moon shot coming only a few days after their announcement of an 8700 mile range missile. The Red Lunik passed within 4800 miles of the moon and speeds on into space to orbit around the sun for perhaps a million years . It is the first man made planet. In view of this, and its speed of 7 miles a second and 3425 pounds last stage of which 796 pounds are instruments, the New York Times calls the lunik "the greatest achievement of the Space Age." The Russians have again demonstrated that we are lagging disastrously behind . The Atlas sat ellite was a long step forward; it is the first satellite placed in orbit with the aid of ground radio guidance, and it has miniaturized radio equipment that can receive and broadcast messages. But the 8750 pound, 85 foot Air Force Atlas had only 150 pounds of instrument payload. It was a, simple one-stage rocket; the spent rocket itself was included in the orbited mass. The Russian Sputnik III of May, 1958, in comparison, weighed only 2925 pounds, but 2129 pounds of that was instruments. It is estimated the Russian missile technology is so f.ar advanced that the lunik had five times the thrust of onr lunar probes. Moreover, the Atlas' attained speed of 17,000 miles per hour even fell short of what our scientists had expected. The Atlas achieved an orbit only 118 to 625 miles out. Sputnik III orbits as 150 to 1168 miles. Although our allies were to som e ext ent re--assured, the rest of the newly missile-sophisticat ed world Admiral Harold R.

Either our technical shortcomings were fully appreciated or the President's. "Christmas message" did not impress. The first is undoubtedly true, but the second, if it is likewise the case, is more discouraging because it indicates that our pro-• testations of good will are no more believed than those of the Russians. Although I do not doubt the President's sincerity, I am inclined to agree that the m essage was a rather pretentious bit of hypocrisy. "I convey to you and to all mankind America's wish for peace on earth," corning from a military weapon fir ed as a device in the cold war seems somehow inconsistent with the principles associated with this time of year. The message, rather I think, pointed up our sanctimonious moral posturing. Either we ue morally consistent and adopt a true pacifist approach - an unfeasible position, or we are to openly take part in the struggle for world power and the control of the minds of men who do not even accept large portions of the American philosophy_ If we are to protect democracy we must, it seems to me, give up moral preaching in favor of simply presenting our society as a less regimented way to achieve social and economic ends. It is apparent that we face a year in which our technical lag becomes more crucial. Our leaders must dedicate themselves to pushing us on to r enewed efforts even if it costs us som e of our traditional comforts.

Larry Choper, business r epresentative of the group, revealed that their first platter will be cut sometime early this year. Subsequent r ecordings will depend on sales of the first one, and t entative plans fo r a tour and t elevision appearances would follow if all goes well. In addition to Choper, the Crewnecks are : Robert "Boob" Martin, second tenor; Bruce Miles, first tenor; J erry "Germ" Pauley, baritone and instrumentalist; and Boyd "Porky" Hoats, who sings lead. Choper, who also answer s to the name ''La," and Martin are juniors, at Wilkes. Pauley, the group's leader, and Hoats will enter the first sem ester of their junior years in the Spring semester. Miles, who was married during the summer, does not plan to re- enter Wilkes in the immediate future. The group was organized almost by accident. Last Fall, the fi ve were just sitting around after a rehearsal of the Collegians, when they began to imitate a current, rock 'n ' roll hit song for fun. With a little bit of polishing, they reali,z ed that it might be possible for them to work up a routine of their own, perhaps as a part of the Collegians' programs. Someone heard them first however and invited them to m~ke a sol; debut at the Beard Dance conducted by the class of '58. • h • F rom t h at time, t eir nse was meteoric. A performa nce at G.A.R. High School was followed in rapid succession by appearances at most of the local schools. Then in February, the Crewnecks got a date at the Forest Hills Inn and have appeared there as headliners every other week since. During the summer they toured the Catskills and Poconos singing at summer resorts, an d somehow found time to appear at the Blue Dahlia in Ocean City, Maryland.

As the student body journeyed hom eward for the holiday vacation , the Colonels also journeyed to Carlisle, Pa., to engage Dickinson in a Middle Atlantic Confer ence game. Jumping off to an early lead the men of Wilkes led at halftime, 43-39; however, Dickinson staged a hard fought, up-hill battle to overtake the Colonels and em erge as the victors by the score of 96 to 74 . The home team was paced by two former local area cagers, namely John Valenti of WilkesBarre and Joe Elinski of Nanticoke.

Under the new system, there will be five pick-up poin:ts on campus: the Library, Stark Hall, Conyngham Hall, the Bookstore, and Pickering Hall. Deliveries will no longer be made to the Commons. It is felt by the editorial staff that the five spots are the best representative locations, making the Beacon more easily available· to more students. The reason for the shift in policy is not an arbitrary or capricious whim, designed to put more people to work. It is, ATTENTION! rather, a serious effort to alleviate a serious condition. When this issue was distributed, the Commons was a scene No books or papers will be alof furious noon-time mob action as hundreds of eager hands lowed in the lobby of the gymnaripped at the newly arrived newspapers.

Finally, the waste, i.e., coffee-stained, crumpled, doodledupon newspapers are left for disposal while hundreds of students who don't get near the Cafeteria on Friday afternoon are deprived of a copy. These students have every bit as much right to a Beacon, but are often disappointed. The new policy may not guarantee better distribution, but with student cooperation, it is a step in the right direction. The students will help by picking up one copy only. Nearly every student will be in one of the five buildings at some time during .the day, and needn't feel that he must wait for a friend to pick up an extra copy for him. Also, we suggest that students, when finished reading them, keep their copies. At a later date, they may be valued as mementoes of Wilkes. In addition, we are sure that parents by Richard J.

Fifty cents, payable a t the door, will admit everyone to an evening of dancing to the music of Bob M o ran and the Ivy Lea g uer s. The sorority has also planned big intermission activities, none other than Wilkes' very own Crewnecks. The dance is one of the many charity projects sponsored by TDR, and all proceeds from it will be donated to the March of Dimes. Miss Mary Homan, TDR president, attended a coffee hour Wednesday night, sponsored by the Women of the March of Dimes. At this m eeting, plans for having the proceeds of the dance donated to a single cause were discussed. At press time, no definite word had been received as to whether the dance proceeds would be given to a specific cause or to the local March of Dimes fund. Should the March of Dimes receive the entire donation, the money would either be used to help <the crippled or to do researcr on birth defects.

Morris will play a major part in the interviewing and orientation of the incoming frosh , and will assist in counselling and scholarship investigations. He will also work with the placement office to seek employment for those students who must work to get through college. He will assume his new duties in February, following completion of his work towards a degree in Business Administration, with a major in Personnel Relations. In addition to his educational preparations for the post, Morris gained invaluabl e practical experience in the fi eld , serving a fouryear tour of duty with the U. S. Navy. He has expr essed a strong desire to a ssist with t he new program at Wilkes, partly beca use the work by Connie Stukowski Intending to prove the old proverb that two heads or two organizations are better than one, the I.R.C. and freshman class will jointly sponsor a dance, appropriately entitled the Final Fling, on Friday, January 30. As usual, the place is the gym and the time is from 9 to 12 o'clock. Originally -the dance was scheduled to be sponsored by the International Relations Club. However, after r epeated requests by the frosh to sponsor more activities, Victor Turoski, the class president, persuaded the I.R.C. to make the dance a joint affair. Thus, the dance is now being sponsored by the I.R.C. and the freshman class, with profits being split on a fifty-fifty basis. The dance will commemorate a momentous event at Wilkes - the end of finals. Students will have an opportunity to forget past pitfalls or to celebrate past achievements as they dance to the strains of The Blue Notes orchestra. Appropriate decorations are also being planned to further accentuate the theme. All this will be provided for the mere admission price of fifty cents. Each committee for the dance is composed of two students, one from each organi2ation. General chairmen of the dance are Carol Emanski and Robert Davis. Assisting them are Cynthia Dysleski and John Salva, decorations; Paul Levin and Stephan Hellersperk, r efreshments; Daniel Lewis and Rhea Politis, tickets; Al Gordon and Don Wilkinson, publicity; and Elaine Lefikowitz and Arthur Evans, entertainment. Under sponsorship of the student government, the event incorporates winter sports, indoor games and contests, g ood food and drinks, and dancing, plus myriads of other a ctivities for everyone's enjoyment. The following schedule of cont ests and activities for .the day was r elea sed by activities chairman Dick Salus, at a meeting of the carnival committee Tuesday aft er noon in the commons.

For the physically fit, outdoor facilities include skating (bring your own skates), skiing (bring ski boots), "flying saucers," football, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, deck shuffle, tennis, badminton, and archery. Members of the entertainment committee have stated that all contest participants are expected to register at the contest site at least fifteen minutes before starting time. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to winners at dance intermission.

All students, according to the unofficial word, will be allowed to fill in their own schedules before registration for the Spring semester. As you enter the gym, you will be presented with your trial registration form which already has your subjects on it, and a schedule of class times and rooms. Each student will choose his own section and class time from the sheet and then attempt to get the corresponding card from the rear of the gym. This new system will give the student some leeway in planning his day and choosing his instructor. We think that this may be ihe answer to the long debated question of schedule changing.

ANSWF.RS: Leona A. Baiera In order to ha ve a n honor syst em at Wilkes there must be impli cit co-operation and honesty among the stud ents. Each student should kn ow what an honor system incorporates, an d must be awa re of its advantages and disadvantages. Al Kishel I definitely believe that there should be one at Wilk es , but under present conditions "temptation" would be too great for one to exist. Mar y Homan I think it's an excell ent idea, and it is not right to say that it would not work unl ess it wer e first given a chan ~e. Grace Schneider I th ink the honor system is unr ealistic, impractical, and of no benefit to the students. The honest students wouldn't cheat anyway, and an honor system would only benefit the dishonest. It's similar to a communistic or fascistic form of government, because it turns the honor students into informers. It is also an easy way for one student to take out revenge on another student. I know what I am talking about, for I went to a school that had an honor system. Marie Realmuto I am against having an honor system at Wilkes because it will not guarantee a student won't cheat. If he would cheat without an honor system, he would also cheat with one. Fred Roberts I am against having one at Wilkes because I don't think it would work. Constance Stukowski Before I could express my sentiments on an honor system, I would have to have a clear conception of all that it entails. I do know, however, that to be successful, an honor system should be 100 per cent student backed. Fran Bishop I think that it is a fine idea one that should be acceptable to anyone who is interested in the improvement of Wilkes and themselves. Bob Beneski I think that an honor system is good, but I do not think it would work at Wilkes. Students are too wide-spread. If one were started, it should be with incoming freshmen. Waif Glogowski Even though we don't have an h h t W'lk t d 0on~r syS em ~re a t ;h ~s,h ~e k ave many ti em:n s ab re P I up; eret ~ret, ffetie~et tmhate'fone a I one were pu m o e ec 1 Id k ' ;ou C wor ~- o:no / h t tO nk or e~ ?rd~n.d o~or sy! em ;:or 'b e_ac ~n ivi ~us llpr~~die\1 emg th on~ra e ~n a t is ea dngs, to erkwise sue a sys em wou 1 no wor . • M • k" A rme rozms 1 I am satisfied with conditions the way they are. Sheila Williams If an honor system wo1,ks at other schools, there's no reason why it wouldn't work here. Mrs. Mary R. E. Brown It is impossible to state categorically that an honor system will or will not be successful at Wilkes. The desire for one must arise from the students themselves, and the students must be willing to implement it wholeheartedly. There must be complete co-operation among the students and an atmosphere created which will make a student value his honor. One who violates the trust thus imposed should feel that the action would be disapproved by the student body and that he would no longer be worthy to attend Wilkes College. Dixie Lee Harvey It would r eally be a good idea to have an honor system here, but much indoct r ination and teaching must be ·on e first in order to put it across.

President Rodger Lewis was in charge of the meeting. A final report was submitted by committee members of the senior dance held during the Christmas recess. R. T. Mattioli is serving as student chairman for a dinner to be held in the cafeteria in honor of the January graduates. Russ Picton, general chairman of the affair, has announced that it will be open to the graduates and their guests only. Services of a caterer have been engaged. Wayne Griffith presented information gathered on a gift from the class to the college. Four sensible suggestions were received from the students, and the class will vote their preference, via post card, in the near future. Members were reminded of the class dance to be held on March 13. Bob Payne is chairman for this affair. The president also reminded the class of the student government e lection. Results of this election, held last Thursday, to fill student government seats vacated by Bob Morris and Barbara Federer, were the appointments of Elisabeth .Schwartz and R. T. Mattioli. MORRIS APPOINTED (continued from page 1) ship. He served as business manager of the school paper, treasurer of his class, four-year member of the Student Government, as well ,as being an honor roll student. As if this were not enough to keep one man busy, he also found time to participate in football, wrestling, and track, was co-captain of the football team in his senior year. While in the Navy he continued his wrestling, taking the A.A.U. 167-pound championship in the Washington, D.C., area in 1952. After entering Wilkes, Morris continued to excel in both studies and extra-curricular activities. H e has wrestled actively and now serves as assistant to Coach Reese. In addition to serving as Student Government president, his name appears in "Who's Who in American Colleges," he is a member of the senior class Executive Council, and is treasurer of the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. In spite of his h eavy load of outside work, he has still found time to do better-than-adequate academic work, proof of which is the Dean's List, where his nam e has been recorded often. If further proof of his abilities to deal w ith people were needed, a check of his part-time and summer jobs will provide it. He has variously worked as: waiter, gas station attendant, grocery store clerk, tobacco farm laborer, and supervisor of activities at the Forty Fort swimming pool. In addition, he has worked actively with the present freshman class this year, teaching orientation classes and generally preparing himself to work in his chosen profession. The Wilkes Colonelettes displayed a snappy bra nd of basketball last Monday when th ey defeated the Wyoming Seminary varsity squad, 43 - 15, in a practice gam e h ere. The Colonelettes junior varsity grabbed the lead early in the first quarter and never relinquished it throughout the entire conte st . Newly elected captain Jocelyn King led the home team scoring with 16 points in her first college contest. Florence Billings was second with 8. Beverly Major and Nancy Davies, veterans of laS t year's squad, tied for thi rd place in the scoring honors wi th 7Freshman Mary Ann Furey alternated between the forward and guard positions and picked up 7 points.

The Colonelettes held their own during the first quarter, the period ended with a 7-all score Wilkes moved ahead, 13 to 9 , at the beginning of the second period, but gradually lost the lead to the more experienced Marywood team Final score was 5l-30. Both teams suffered on the foul line, Wilkes made only five out of fifteen free throws, while Marywood collected only five out of eighteen on the charity line. Sophomore Florence Billings was the only Wilkes player to hit double figures in the scoring race. Florence tallied 14 counters, with fiv e in the last quarter. Captain Jocelyn King contributed nine points to the score before fouling out half-way through the last quarter. Beverly Major connected with two long shots and hit on three out of three foul tosses for a total of 7 points. Retired Recruits vs. Varsity?

The negative t eam of Roberta Feinstein and Fred Roberts logged a perfect record of four wins, while the affirmative team, Gwen Evans and Cliff Brothers, lost only one of four. Fred Roberts was named first speaker and received a gold medal, while Brothers earned the silver medal as second speaker. It is the fourth year since 1955 that "Good N eighbor" first speakers have been members of Dr. Kruger's teams. Roberts joins Bruce Warshal, Jesse Choper, and J. Harold Flannery, Jr., as a member of debating's "elite". Brothers was participating in only his second tournament. In fact, until the N.Y.U. "Hall of Fame" tourney a few weeks ago, he had never even seen or heard collegiate debate. The affirmative team at Bucknell defeated Penn State Wom en, Dickinson, and Bucknell and lost to Penn State Men. The negative team defeated the affirmative members of the same schools. On the weekend of January 3031, Wilkes will be represented in the Johns Hopkins Invitational at Baltimore. Fred Rob erts and Roberta Feinstein will enter as a twoman team. A business m eeting of Cue 'n' Curtain was h eld recently, at which time three resignations were accepted, and three n ew committee h eads were named. Howard All en, a senior, resigned as head of the lighting committee and Roy Morgan, a junior was named to the post. Paul Abrams, w ho will graduate at the end of this semester, gave up his position as chairman of the backstage committee and Dave Kistler was named as h ead.

A question which has arisen with increasing frequency from many members of the student body here at Wilkes is, "What is S.A.M. ?" An explanation of exactly what S.A.M. is, its activities and its objectives, is necessary if this question is to be answered fully. POPULAR LECTURER TO SPEAK NEXT WEEK by Cynthia Hagley The platform guest of the n ext assembly is Joe Callaway known as "the best young lecturer on the theater today." Mr. Callaway is an actor who has performed on Broadway with such stars as Martha Scott, Victor Jory, Judith Evelyn and McDonald Carey. His lectures have taken him on nine successful coast-to-coast tours, besides a year's tour in Europe to fourteen different countries. Mr. Callaway's experience on Broadway is only a small part of his stage career. He has played in sixteen different Shakespearean plays as a member of the famous Globe Theater Company and has directed a Miami Beach stock company and the San Diego Community Theat er. Recently, h e has dir ected and been featured with outstanding eastern summer theaters. Two of Mr. Callaway's most popular programs are Play Parade and Shakespeare a la Mode. In Play Parade h e comments on, acts in, scenes from great comedies and com edy-dramas. In the Shakespeare program, h e portrays characters from scenes in Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing and others. The following are comments made by various organizations and newspapers on Mr. Callaway's lecture: the New York Times - "Pay suitable attention to Joe Callaway;" the New York Daily Mirror " Outstanding;" the Honolulu Advertiser - "Joe Callaway knows his theater, views it with insight, treats it with rare humor and understanding;" Evergreen, Washington State College - "Callaway left the campus in an hilarious uproar over hi s devastatingly amusing presentations from Broadway." The students of Wilkes may look forward to an educational and amusing program. The initials S.A.M. stand for The Society for Advancement of Management. This Society is the recognized national organization of management in industry, commerce, government, and education, and is dedicated to the promotion of the art and science of management. . Through the more than 137 Um versity Chapters located in the United States, this organization en-1 deavors to strengthen managemen ed ucation. While the program ha been primarily designed for stu dents preparing for careers in business and industry, the various ac-· tivities of individual college chapters have been developed to further the growth of all students, regardless of their academic major, by stimulating their thinking and widening their knowledge in such area s as materials, machines, and the efficient utilization of manpower. Society activities include seminars, clinics, lectures, and plant visits, all of which help the student gain an insight into the actual practice of the management profession. This type of program imparts to each student a fuller appreciation of the working t echniques of American industry. The three basic objectives of each University Chapter are: 1. To bring together business executives and students preparing for careers in the business world. 2. To distribute information concerning the present problems and policies of industry. 3. To provide stud ents with the opportunity of participating in the planning and direction of an organization dedicated solely to furthering the advancement of management. Management is a profession. Like any existing profession, it is an art composed of its own body of principl es, tools , and skills. Even more than this, it is an attitude of the mind, a point of view; it works toward a better understanding of the problems facing industry and business in today's complex societ y. !

In the competition Wilkes defeated Northeastern and Navy in the first round. In another round which paired winners against winners, Maryland and Wheaton defeated the Wilkes representatives. Later, in another round, Wilkes rallied to defeat St. Michael's of New Hampshire and Johns Hopkins. In th i s year's tournament Roberts, with a total of 141 points ranked eleventh in the individual scoring. In previous years Wilkes placed third three times with 5-1 r ecords and won the tourney in 1955 with a 6-1 r ecord.

The choi.c e of classes was enth~siastically approved by those who managed to get to the gym at _7 a.m. on Friday and therefore got firs1 choice. For those who didn't get there early, or those whose names don't begin with R to Z, there was much dissatisfaction. The A to M lines wound around the jam-packed gym, out the door and back to Ohav Zedek Synagogue, while the rest of the alphabetically lucky ones marched right into the gym, up to the registrar's table and on to the best classes. We can not see why: 1) the alphabetical distribution was not checked beforehand and made more equal; or 2) why there were not more registrar's tables - perhaps one on each side of the gym. We fully realize that to have more tables means more people will have to be paid for working; that is if the system of employment continues. On this topic there are several suggestions. _ The first and foremost is to have TDR, a service organization, or the Lettermen, volunteer members to assist in giving out trial re~istration forms at two tables. This would free experienced personnel to help at the finance desk, and would also facilitate the possibility of having a more equal breakdown of the alphabetical lines. The second suggestion calls for a club or organization on campus, such as the Student Government or the Economics Club for instance, get together and volunteer to assist in the registration. The finance line, usually the worst in the entire process, was improved considerably with the use of already printed receipt. However, this line could be speeded up by instigating a new system. Perhaps payments could be made due by the week before registration. For those who could and would pay, the line would be eliminated. For those who do not pay before registration, the usual long grumbling line would be the only solution. There could possibly be a separate table set up for those who have paid, or for those who have tuition scholarships and do not have to pay. Having to stand on a long line just to tell someone that you do not pay tuition is annoying to any student. On the whole, registration this year was better than ever just like the movies; but like the movies, improvement is not impossible. -mjk Oh, Say Can You See Wilkes College is by far the most patriotic institution in the United States. This statement can be made without reservation if one considers the fact that the American Flag is rarely, if not never, taken from its station atop the flag pole on Chase lawn. • Students who leave the library at 9:30 at night have the opportunity to admire our beautiful red, white and blue through the inky blackness. Neither rain nor shine nor night will deter -us from our whole-hearted patriotism. 'Nough said? -mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

Letters To The Editor: Since a few Student Council actions have rece.ntly . come in for some criticism, it is worthwhile at the beginning of the new semester to point out ·that Article VII of the Student Constitution provides a means of effective protest against Student Government decisions. According to that section a Court of Appeals, made up of two faculty and two student members and one r epresentative of the administration, has the power · by majority vote to overrule the Student Council subject only to a two-thirds vote by the Council upon the Court's final decision. The procedure for g etting a matter before the Court is relatively simple; just give a written brief containing a summary of the argumentation and evidence presented on the matter before the Council. The Council in turn shall also file a summary of the case presenting its reasons and the minutes of the meeting at which the matter was argued. The Court may, before r endering a decision, require further investigation before a hearing. If there are any other questions as to the particular form of the briefs, the chairman would be happy to consult with any interested party.

Musto, a bit of a linguist himself, is faced with the big job of t eaching them English so that they can move into regular classes. He also tries to incorporate Americanism and democracy into their regular class work, giving them a clear er picture of life in the United States. By t eaching them five or six new words a week, he has now gotten them to the stage of writing complete sentences. Musto explained that he "lets them work at their own pace and doesn't move them along as a group." He now has two groups - one well advanced, and the others beginners. He pointed out that an Hungarian-speaking girl who had been in his class at ,t he start of this year already has gone into the regular eighth grade English class. He said that he hoped another of his pupils would be in senior high school before the year is out. All of the students ·range from the John Musto junior high school age up to 17.

Dear Editor: It was brought to my attention that some individual in our student body had placed an unauthorized notice on the blackboard in Pickering Hall to the effect that the S.A.M. meeting was cancelled. The notice caused several members to miss the meeting held at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, February 3. The notice was also falsely signed with the name of one of the S.A.M officers. I can not help questioning the intelligence of the person responsible for that notice. I am also sure that that person would not have the courage to admit his guilt to me personally or to any other member of the S.A.M. Chapter. I am only consoled in knowing that students whose character shows disregard for the rights of others are in the very minority at Wilkes. by Jim Eidam With regret, David D.

N0ted CZeCh- Sta teSfflaD WI·u be Featured at I Next Assembly Program 1· by Connie Stukowski The Honorable Stefan Osusky, the noted Czechoslovakian statesman, will make an appearance at Wilkes as guest speaker at the February 10th assembly program. Dr. Osusky, who has been described as a dynamic speaker and brilliant diplomat, will present a talk entitled "The Way of the Free." Our speaker is well qualified to expound on this subject, for he has had a diverse and renowned background. In World War I Dr. Osusky was the youngest collaborator of President Thomas Masaryk and was one of the founders of Czechoslovakia. From 1920 to 1937 he represented HON. STEFAN ·osusK.¥ , his country at the Assembly of the League of Nations. For his exceptional service r e n d er 'e d to Czechoslovakia, this cou~try awarded him the Karlik Prize, the Czechoslovakian Nobel Prize. From January, 1921, until the fall of France, Dr. Osusky served as minister of Ozechoslovakia to France. Upon the fall of France Dr. Osusky took refuge in London. There he became a member of the Czechoslovakian government in ex,ile and of the Legislative State Council, organized on British soil after the fall of France. For the past four years Dr. 0susky has been a Visiting Professor of European Civilization and Culture at Colgate University. The work of this great statesman has not been limited only to his native Czechoslovakia. He has received decorations from France, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania, Luxemburg, Bolivia and Chile. The students at Wilkes are privileged to have such a renowned person to share his experiences with them. This assembly program will undoubtedly prove one of the high spots of this year's program.

Dick Stauffer set the scene with a 1 :45 fall over sophomore Barry Silverstein after taking about one minute to execute a takedown. Ted Toluba set the Wilkes fans buz.zing when he turned in his third straight fall this year, pinning sophomore Phil Rodman in 38 seconds of the second period after a scoreless first round. Captain Walt Glogowski showed his fans some· more of his famous whirlwind brand of wrestling when he came from behind to pin Jerry Levkov in 3:15. Levkov led at the end of the first round, 2-0. Walt escaped in three seconds of the second period, only to be taken down before the period was five seconds old. On his back, and momentarily in trouble, the wily 177pounder pulled a beautiful reverse and pulled off the pin. All this fa &t action took place in just fifteen seconds. Senior Jack Izower, co-captain of the Beavers, turned in the only win when he was awarded the decision in the 147-pound bout with Ron Bienkowski. The score at the end of the bout was 1-1, but lzower had a time advantage and saved the meet from being a shutout. Gerard Seniek took a sturdy 130pounder, Ron Alter, by an 8-3 score. Tunkhannock's Joe Morgan, at 137, won a solid, 6-1 decision from junior Ron Reis. Marv Antinnes displayed fine riding ability to register a 5-2 d~cision over J erry Horowitz in the 167-pound class, and heavyweight Bob Sislian took a 3-0 win from the other -Beaver co-captain Milt Gittleman after holding his man in check throughout the entire second period when he was "up" in the referee's position.

The Mid-Year Graduation Dinner was held on Wednesday, January 28 in the Commons. Honored at the dinner were fifteen day school and eight evening school students who completed their requirements for degrees on January 27. The dinner, originally suggested by the senior class executive council , will become an annual affair in the future. The program for the festivities included an invocation which was followed by the singing of several selections by the Wilkes Collegians. Mr. Russ Picton then said a few words of welcome to the graduates on behalf of the Alumni Association . Mr. Picton then introduced Dr. Farley who gave the principal address of the evening. The following students have compl eted their requirements: B.S. in Nursing Education: Theresa Elizabeth Abate, Helen Elizabeth Beizup, Ann Margaret Richards, Florence Dorothy Shusta and Elizabeth Leona Talmon. B.S. in Business Administration: Paul Rubin Abrams. B.S. in Commerce and Finance: William E. Acornley, Ernest Ashbridge, Jr., Arnold Marty Hoeflich, WRlter F. Horchheimer, Robert Burton Morris, Larry George Pugh, Ronald Arthur Reed, Donald Earl Wilkinson, Jr., and Raymond Edward Wilson. B.S. in E lem entary Education: Mary Boretz Brand. A.B. in History: Eileen Maureen Fatsie. B.S. in Secondary Education: Robert Clem Gritsavage, James John Hennighan and Robert Joseph Sacco. A.B. in Political Science: George Sander Morris.

Fish II. Crustaceans." Thirty - three original r esearch papers prepared by research workers and physicians from universities, medical schools, and :teaching centers throughout the U. S. will be presented at the 15th annual meeting of the Academy. Dr. Cohen's original investigation involved animal experimentation and was re lated to certain problems in allergic reactions :to fish and shellfish. Dr. Cohen explained the research project to have been divided into three parts. !'First," he said, "we found that in some instances that certain vitamin preparations and pharmaceutical products of fish origin, were capable of causing allergic reactions. We then studied the relationships between eatable fish and shellfish that would explain allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. "Certain water insects are used in the preparations of commercial products are used as food for tropical fish and goldfish. We studied the properties of these insects that would indicate their potentiality in causing reactions in people who are a llergic to related eatable shellfish such as crab, lobster, and shrimp." In the collection and study of water insects, Dr. Cohen was assist ed by Dr. Charles Reif, head of the Biology Department.

HOLDS HAPPY FRIDAY BEST DRESSED CONTEST THE THIRTEENTH! (see page 3) Vol. XXIII, No. 16 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Applications Available For Government Loans Applications for loans under the Federal Aid to Students program are available in the Finance office. The loans will be available to students who need financial aid in order to complete college. The National Defense Student Loan plan was devised by the U. S. Government to help people who otherwise would either have to suspend their educations or drop out of college entirely because of financial need. Applicants must obtain the forms as soon as possible and submit their requests by February 20. Submission of the request, however, does not guarantee in any way that the applicant will receive the grant. Of the request for $3,836,435 made by colleges in the State of Pennsylvania, only $354,192 was granted, about one-tenth of the total. Of that amount, $7,847 has been alloted to Wilkes, far below the amount requested. The primary factor in determining who shall get a loan will be need. In addition to being needy, a student must be attending college full time and be in good standing. A certain preference will be given to those planning to be teachers, as well as to those majoring in such fields as science, mathematics, and engineering. Repayment plans for borrowers under this program are designed to give future teachers a reduction depending upon the number of years they teach. Others have the advantage of taking up to five years to repay the loans in the Federal government's plan to make a college education more readily available to those who now cannot afford it. A.

For those of you that missed getting your Beacon last week, we apologize. The system has two main features; first, Beacons will be left in five buildings on campus, excluding the Commons; second, the paper will _b e out well before noon and will therefore be available to students as they emerge from their 11 o'clock classes. For the most part the system worked, but we were unavoidably late in getting to campus with the paper and several students reported that they had not been able to find a copy of the Beacon anywhere on campus. We hope that this week's distribution will be better, bu_t we would appreciate any suggestions for improvement. Nice Going As mentioned above, we had some trouble with last week's issue of the Beacon. We have heard some comments to the effect that the issue 'Jl.'.aS not up to par and we feel that an explanation is required. Our Thursday schedule usually ends at 3 o'clock when the forms are put on the printing press. Last Thursday however, the linotype machine refused to operate and we were faced with the situation of having only a quarter of the copy set in type. At five o'clock we were seriously considering the possibility of cancelling the Beacon completely. Even if the machine could have been fixed, there was still over eight hours of work to be done before the paper could be ready for the press. The usual quitting time for the Schmidts is five o'clock and we never even considered asking them to stay overtime. As it turned out, we didn't have to ask - they just stayed there until 11 Thursday night and they were back on the job at 8 o'clock Friday morning. This kind of cooperation is not a common thing in the business world; it is, however, the kind of cooperation that Schmidt's Printery has been giving the Beacon for years. Ooops! We Did It Again! . Last Saturday night, Mr. Carl Zoolkoski brought to our attention the fact that one of our fillers contained a mis-statement. M~.

By Assembly Speaker; Brotherhood Next Week ~ by Lee Baiera Dr. Stefan Osusky, noted Ozecho- · slovakian statesman, gave a · dynamic, informative talk entitled "The_ Way of the Free" at Tuesday1s assembly. Since Dr. Osusky just came back from a three months stay in Europe, he began his talk by sharing some of his latest experiences with the student body. He said that the struggle for . domination between the free world and the communist countries was no longer a struggle of military might but an economic one. He also said that the United States is economically no longer independent. Osusky stated that Khruschev commented that in 1970 Soviet Russia is going to outstrip the production of the United States. Dr. Osusky has a diverse and renowned background. In World War I he was the youngest collaborator of President Thomas Masaryk and was one of the founders of Czechoslovakia. From 1920 to 137 he represented his country at the Assembly of the League of Nations. For his exceptional service given to Czechoslovakia, this country awarded him the Karlik Prize, the Czechoslovakian Nobel Prize. From January, 1921, until the fall of France, Dr. Osusky served as minister of Czechoslovakia to France. When France fell, he took refuge in London. There he became a member of the Czechoslovakian government in exile and of the Legislative State Council, organized on British soil after the fall of France. During the past four years Dr. Osusky has been a Visiting Professor of European Civilization and Culture at Colgate University. The work of this great statesman has not been limited only to his native Czechoslovakia. He has received decorations from France, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania, Luxembourg, Bolivia, and Chile. Next Assembly Featured speaker at next Tuesday's assembly will be Dr. Abraham Barras of Temple Israel, South River Street. The assembly will mark the observance of Brotherhood Week in America - a week marked with special emphasis of the spiritual ties of the national and religious groups of the nation. _Dr. Barras is a prominent speaker in the Valley and has done much in promoting co-operll,tion among various peoples.

The paper is concerned with a variety of important factors having to do with the general area of problem-solving. The basic hypothesis on which the expreiment was conducted is that people can very easily be "set," that is, conditioned, to react in similar ways to similar stimului, and that there are certain stimulus conditions which are important in the development of "set," but that the individual characteristics are most important to the subject's recovery from "set."

Bedner, William (continued on page2) �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL - Friday, February 20, 1959 DEAN'S UST During the first semester the Student Government organized a student leaders conference. The conference was a resounding success as evidenced by the majority vote by the leaders to hold another session in the spring. The question . we would like to bring· upright now is: why hold these productive meetings only twice a year? What is the argument against having regular meetings of the leaders on campus? Let's face the facts, we need more cooperation between campus groups. We have, in the past month or so, heard complaints that one group is deliberately trying to out-do every other group on campus. There seem to be some toes being stepped on, according to the rumor. We personally can not see why there should be . any bad feeling about a group trying to get ahead, but nevertheless, there it is. A student leaders conference might be able to clear up this feeling, if such a meeting does not solve the problem, at least everyone will know where everyone else stands. Another factor in favor of more frequent meetings is that clubs will be in a better position to assist each other in activities and problems. As an example, we have an idea that the CCUN will be needing some help with their Model General Assembly in April. An organized unit of clubs could and should help. How are these far-flung organizations going to know that they may be needed? They might get a throw-away notice in their mailbox. Unfortunately, the nickname given to these mimeographed sheets is often their fate also, they get thrown away. A mimeographed noticed is, to us, a rather cold, impersonal and incomplete way of explaining anything in the first place. Student leaders, if they live up to their title, should want to lead the student body as a whole, not just the small group that ha:epens to be in the organization that they are leading. All too often we see and hear about clubs that are trying to do some constructive good for the college but are failing because they have not gotten the full cooperation that they need to achieve their goals. Why? Because the groups who could give help either do not know, understand ·or care about the project. This problem can be easily eliminated by having meetings of the people who are supposedly running the show the student leaders. The November 17, 1950 issue of the Beacon carries a front page story about the Inter-Club Council, an organization that consisted . of the presidents and editors on campus. If the students felt a need for a council of this sort when the student body totaled much less than it does now, why don't we feel the need for it? You may want to blame the lack of interest on the socalled poor spirit that everyone cries about. The fact of the matter is that school spirit hit an all-time high on campus right after the first student leaders meetings. If you do not believe us, take a look at one of last year's Beacons and then compare it with a Beacon of this year. You will find that there is almost twice the amount of activities this year than there were last year. We believe that there is a definite corelation between the student leaders conference and the improved school spirit. Why should we neglect a good thing? We cannot continue to push everything off on the Student Government, they can not handle everything, nor should they have to. In our opinion the only way to get together is to get together at least once a month. Until we all realize this, we will continue to be a go-home-after-the-lastclass campus. -mjk LETTER to the EDITOR To: The Students of Wilkes College Subject: Winter 'Carnival The following are excerpts from letters received from Walt Fossa, an owner of Pocono Mountain Inn, after the Winter Carnival. January 30, 1959 "We also discovered that four of our blue "No Parking" signs are missing and were torn off the two benches by our lucky maple tree, off one pole and one tree. One of the four was on the ground and broken in half horizontally. The cost for making· these signs this past Fall was $2.50 each, or a total of $10.00." "Someone took along the bridge stick used on the pool table." "The cost for this Challenger .B ridge with head made by Brunswick - Balke - Collender Co. was $2.50." • February 5, 1959 "One thing we omitted from our letter of January 30, was a deer's head missing from the little coat rack room." "In speaking with one of the other large resort managers that once entertained you, we were told that they would never again entertain a Wilkes College group. We hope that you will reply to our previous letter and make good on this deer's head, or we too will join in their attitude." In reply to our query as to the value of the deer's head, Mr. Fossa sent the following reply: "You mention 'damages are something a resort owner should be well accustomed to and accept as an overhead experience.' I've got news for you. We seldom experience the lifting ·of items by guests. In fact, your group has been the first in twelve months to do this.'' "The deer's head was my first personal trophy from hunting. It cost $25.00 but you can't replace the sentimental value." On February 3, the Student Government passed by a unanimous vote a motion to pay $12.50 for the missing "No Parking" signs and the missing bridge stick. This in no way excuses the actions of those individuals who participated in these offenses. P etty larceny and vandalism cannot be excused simply by saying "students will be students, you know.'' The theft of the deer's head poses a more serious problem, not because of the monetary value, but because of the social implications. At the stake is the reputation of an entire student body and perhaps each individual graduate of that student body. I hardly think these reasons are of any importance to the guilty person or persons. But they are important to the innocent.

(continued from page I) by Fred Roberts Again last week we were rather strongly reminded that the United States faces a very grave challenge from the Soviet Union. Dr. Osusky, the renowned Czech patriot, was surprisingly objective, in his presentation in assembly, of the Russian menace. He did not. as so many refugees from Communism did, tell us that the Soviet satellites, in a state of swelling unrest, are ripe for revolution and U. S. intervention. Rather he said that the U.S.S.R. by "rationalizing" the economic relationships among the Soviet countries and because of its monolithic, dynamic, imperialistic totalitarianism system, resting on substantial theoretic grounds, has solidified Communist control. One of the ideas from his talk that I would like to consider here involves these realities of world economics. The other, presented earlier in his address in another connection has implications that can serve 'as a conclusion to what I am going to suggest.

Ted; the Colonels' scrappy 157-pound matman, continued his undefeated skein by pinning Don .Steele, Lycoming's veteran wrestler, in 3 :44. The pin set Coach John Reese's charges on the path to victory after the Warriors had built up a 13-3 lead. The victory was number five for the freshman grappler who also registered his third pin of the season. Although young in years, Ted is old in "wrestling know-how" as his L&Mis Lovv i~ tar Ted Toluba father has been coaching him since he was "knee-hig h." All this training proved itself when Ted got to the semi-finals of the Wilkes Open Wrestling Tourney before losing a close decision. This result was significant to Colonel wrestling followers as Ted's great showing in his inter-collegiate tournament wrestling debut proved the middle weights of the Blue and Gold squad are in good hands for the next four years.

Ahead 7-6, he got two points for a reversal, one point for a predicament, and three points for a near fall in less than 30 seconds. Then, ahead 13-6, he recorded the second Wilkes fall in 5 :08. Marv Antinnes completed the ,Wilkes wins with a beautiful performance, icing the meet with a 6-0 win over Skip Taylor. Walt! Glogowski had his winning streak broken when he lost, 3-2, on riding time to Dave Thomas. Dick Stauffer lost to Cleon Cassel's brilliant tight-waist tactics, 7-0, in the 123-pound class. Ron Bienkowski looked good :°against the mat-wise veteran Neil LeLozier, but lost a 6-0 decision. Heavyweight Bob Sislian fell t'o Charles Pfrommer in 2 :36. Come from Behind A packed gym at Williamsport, with better than sixty Colonel fans to support their t eam, saw one of the most thrilling come-from-behind wins in r ecent years, as the Wilkesmen downed a strong Lycoming squad, 18-13, last Saturday. The win came on three beautiful performances turn ed in by T ed To- The Colonels will be counting on the advantage of their home court to bring about an improvement on their seasonal record. The game will be the first of the final home stand which will close the season for the Blue and Gold. Eddie Davis is hoping that the home atmosphere will bring about the return of a high scoring performance from the Wilkesmen. Hartwick comes to Wilkes with a big experienced team.

Marv Antinnes, at 16'7, cradled Gail Frye halfway th rough th e second period, got three points for a near-fall, then, from his back, pinned Frye with 48 seconds in the round. The fall tied the meet at 13-13. Then Walt Glogowski came roaring out, and nailed 177 pound Warrior Don Dyke with a crotch-cradle hold after a takedown in just 29 seconds. With only 40 seconds elapsed, the referee's hand signalled another Wilkes fall. The scoreboard showed Lycoming trailing, 18-13. Heavyweight Bob Sislian only had to keep John Wilbur at bay to insure the victory. In doing so, he was required to play "cautious" and lost, 4-3. The loss, however, insured the meet win, 18-16. Dick Stauffer started the Colonels off on the i·ight foot with an exciting 7-3 win over Al Hazzard with his deceptive, "upside-down" style. In the 130 pound class, Gerard Senick ran into trouble, losing a high-scoring bout to Bill Kehrig by a 7-5 count. Mike Armstrong, in his first appearance of the year at 137 pounds, ran against Middle Atlantic 137 runner-up Harry Rohmig. The Warrior showed the fans a splendid variety of holds and led Armstrong 9-0 when he recorded a fall in 1 :16 of the second period. Armstrong displayed a great deal of courageous effort, but was no match for the sensational Warrior captain. Joe Morgan moved up t en pounds to the 147 pound class to take on Bob Pac and suffered the same fate, but not without throwing a good scare into Pac. Morgan led, 2-0, GOALS FOR PICTONITES Posting a record of one legitimate and two forfeit wins the Colonel swimming team travels to Lycoming tomorrow to test the Warriors for the second time this season. The natator squad may again have to spot an opposing team eight points before the contest starts. In their attempt to attain a legitimate .500 SE•a son, Coach Picton's team may have to do without the services of star diver Clete Miller. Tennis Coach Needed, Also New Racqueteers Plans are now in progress to obtain a coach for the tennis t eam. Any student or faculty member who feels that they are qualified to hold this position are urged to contact Director of Athletics Ralston. Also any students interested in trying out for the "racket" team are. urged to contact Ira Himmel. Three known lettermen returning for this year's competition are: Jack Thomas, Paul Bleifer, and Ira Himmel. Bill Woll, a transfer student, will be eligible to compete this year and should be a valuable asset in the team's favor. Two lettermen who were lost via the graduation route are Jim Hennighan and Bill Savitsky. at the end of the first period, but Pac ;.eversed l)im within 30 seconds of the second period and required only 18 more seconds to register a pin. Lycoming then led by 13-3 and things looked black for Coach Reese, who then unleashed the "terrible trio," who iced the meet for Wilkes.

Freshman sprinter Art Eckhart has shown more and more improvement as the season has progressed until now he can be counted on for an almost sure five points in either the 50 or 100 yard freestyl e sprints. Another factor that might tip the scales in the favor of the Wilkes squad is the possible loss of Lycoming's best 220 and 440 yard man, Sam Thompson. Thompson was hospitalized with a concussion when he failed to negotiate the first turn in a 220 yard freestyle event against Wilkes two weeks ago. Pat Shovlin and Ken Selody will be the mainstays for the Blue and Gold in the backstroki,ng events, with Shovlin probably also competing in the rigorous butterfly event. Walt Zionkowski will also be another starter in the short distance events. Letterman Bernie Wahalla will be out to better his time in the 440 along with another newcomer in the aquatic scene, Jake Zook. Jake has been steadily decreasing his time in the long distance grind. Berrill Friedman, another Picton stalwart, has been steadily improving on his time and has been showing an increasing fondness for gathering team points. He will also be counted on to bring home the bacon for Beacon readers. This will be the last Colonel swimming meet of the year and the team members are exuding a real aura of self-confidence for the first time since rthe natator acti vity has been re-activated. squad and has built the nucl eus of his team around these boys.

The contest was close all th;-;.--;;:,, being a hard-fought battle with a minimum number of fouls. The biggest lead of 8 points was held by Wilkes near the end of the game~ Center Ron Roski was high man• for Wilkes with 22 points. The· majority of his total came on spectacular shots under the boards. Fran Mikolanis came through with 16 tallies and rebounded well. Guard George Gacha added to the cause with 11 counters and Bernie Radecki hit long jump shots and finished with 10 points. Monday th e Davismen journeyed to Huntingdon, Pa. and en ~ountered the Juniata Indians. Final score: Juniata 80, Wilkes 64. The Colonels played excellent ball at the start of the first half and led the Indians for 15 minutes. The attack then bogged down and Juniata took the lead at half time. The Blue and Gold came baok strong at the start of the second half, narrowing the Juniata lead to 8 points, but once again the..drive stalled and the home t eam went on to win. Ron Roski was high man for the Colonels with 16 points, Fran Mikolanis netted 14 tallies, and Bernie Radecki garnered 13. Radecki suffered a n ear-serious accident at the start of the contest when his glasses were shattered and pieces of glass entered his eye. However, "Doc" Davis operated on the floor and Bernie stayed in the game and performed in his u sual fine manner. The Colonels were unable to corral Juniata's high scoring small man, Don Burnich, who poured 28 counters through the cords. Last Thursday Wilkes traveled to Ithaca, N.Y. and were defeated by the Ithaca College Bombers by the score of 111-73. 5 GOLF LETTERMEN RETURN TO TEAM The golf t eam had its first r egular meeting last Tuesday with Coach Welton Farrar. With five lett ermen returning from last year's team, Coa~h Farrar seemed • optimisti c in hi s evaluation of the team's chances for a successful year.

The sixth position on the link team will probably be taken over by one of seven frosh and upperclassmen who also reported to Coach Farrar on Tuesday. Dr. Ben Marshall, winner of the Anthracite open last year, will take over as assistant mentor of the team. Dr. Marshall is considered to be one of the top amateurs in Wyoming Valley.

Ralston and his family on the recent passing of his father. Our Reputation at Stake Aftex last week's letter to the editor and the facts contained therein, we begin to wonder at the obvious lack of thought by the student body in general. The request by the owners of Pocono Mountain Inn not to bring "hard" beverages to the Winter Carnival was ignored along with all the common rules of decency. M embers of the student body not only found it necessary to bring their own, but they also found it necessary to take a few things home with them. The exchange. of merchandise was not equal. or do we have to mention it? The reputation of the student body of Wilkes took a tremendous drop after the much debated carnival. They managed to smuggle out several no parking signs, a bridge stick, and the stuffed head of a deer. If this little incident doesn't cancel any future reservations that we might have made with the Inn, nothing ever will. No one in their right mind will ever take on a Wilkes group after this year. Frankly, we can't blame the owners of carnival sites for refusing to allow their places to be picked clean of anything movable. The All-Powerful The first editorial we wrote way back in September advocoted the acceptance of the revised constitution of the student body. We will now proceed to saw off the limb that we climbed out on at that time by finding fault with the constitution. To be a member of the student government, one must have that mythical thing called the "cumulative '2' average." This, as we understand it, is to protect both the student and the college. As the story goes, the student with the 2 is supposed to be able to devote more time to the organization because he is not bothered by excessive hours of study. On the other hand, the student with a 1.99, or lower, average is required to study so much that he will not be able to do justice to his position as a representative to the Student Government. This, we regret, is as we understand it. Anyone who considers this and other reasons for the allpowerful 2, will begin to wonder just exactly what the individual student has to say in the matter. Right now, he has nothing to b h Ir d h d h h h say ecause e a ea y a is say w en e voted for the installation of the constitution. We look at it this way; there has to be a line drawn somewhere along the grade line if only for the protection of the extracurricular crazy student. Some people ca~heerfully plod along in three or four__ activities while they are, at--the same time, on probation. This student obviously needs some'--l:es_triction because he has shown no sense in planning his activities. But s ince when are we, undergraduates, so thoroughly trained that we might set such a limit on ourselves? Administrators have set a minimum requirement for graduation. That minimum average is a 1.85, not a 2! If we are to leave the constitution as it stands now, we are saying in effect that it is more difficult to be a member of the Student Government or a president of a class than it is to graduate. If anyone should ask us, we will be only too happy to tell them that we would much rather get that little piece of parchment than be a member of the Student Government or the president of our class. If the administration is willing to allow a student with a 1.85 average to graduate, we should be willing to let him represent us on the Student Government or as our class president. We also advocate a change so that sophomore representatives not be required to have more than a 1.4 and the juniors a 1. 7, as it is required for admission to the class. For those of you who are about to sit down and call us a traitor for changing our view, we suggest that you check back in the first issue in September.

GRAPPLER Booster Night Planned Aller 30-4 Moravian 'Warm-Up' 5 :18 Pin and 3-0 Defeat Earn Award for 137-lb. Point-getting Grappler . Joe Morgan is named "Athlete" with t he adjective "tremendous" not inclusive enough to herald his talents. Joe's 3-0 victory over previously undefeated Hartman of Franklin & Marshall College was enough to set hearts beating faster, but the clincher cam e when Joe came on again Friday night to slap another good wrestler's shoulders to th e mat and hold them for the r eq uired 3 seconds during the Moravian meet. Joe is not a newcomer to the Wilkes athletic scene, he took the "Athlete" award during the soccer season and filled in the 147 pound slot very nicely on last year's championship wrestling team. Although the wrestling team has had a long streak of victories, this is the first season that they have ·. been unbeaten and untied and Joe is one of the major point-getters that has made this possible. He has always been an aggressive type grappler, but this year his attitude on the mat seems to have changed enough so that he always has his opponent on the defensive. Joe might have acquired additional motives along with a new Joe Morgan bride. Last year he was married to a former Wilkes coed and they are presently residing in Forty Fort. Before coming to Wilkes Joe attended Girard College where he lettered on the wrestling team four years running. He also captained the grapplers in his senior year. HAVffiA PACES TEAM IN FINA.LE, WARRIORS AVEN·GE EARLY LOSS by Morgan Davis The Lycoming swimmers struck back in their second contest of the season with the Wilkesmen to gain a 51 to 37 victory. Coach Picton's splashers were afflicted with the maladies of cramps, forfeits, and disqualifications in their efforts to beat the Warriors in their home pool. With the Lycoming pool only 20 yards long, not the required 25 yard pool, the Colonels had a rough time of it last Saturday as they started out by dropping the first r elay, a medley 400 yard event, to the hard kicking Williamsport men. The next event showed the "Ironman," Carl Havira up to his old tricks in the 220 freestyle; he topped the field of contestants to win the event almost two full lengths ahead of his nearest competitor. Again in the 200 yard butterfly, "the roughest grind in swimming," Havira showed his heels and took an easy first place. Jake Zook, usually the Wilkes distance man, surprised the pack by pulling into the second place slot. The "Ironman" was also way ahead in the 200 yard breaststroke when he was disqualified on a t echnicality. Teammate Zook again took up some slack in the score with a first place in what is normally Havira's best event. Art Eckhart, freshman sprinter for the Colonels, was ruled second in one of the most disputable calls in Wilkes swimming history. Art took second in this 50 yard freestyle event while another Wilkes cohort, Walt Zionkowski, came in for the third. Again in the 100 yard freestyle, catastrophe seemed to dog the heels of Mr. Eckhart, as he was hauled from the pool with a bad case of stomach cramps. ·B errill Friedman saved part of the show when he copped the second place in the event. . . . After domg his part m the 400 medley relay, Pat Shovlin broke his 200 yard_ backstroke time with a fast 2 mmutes, 57 seconds to take a sure first place from the Warriors. Ken Selody also came in for an additional counter in that cont est. In the 440 distance contest, Bernie Wahalla seemed to be unwinding for the first time since last season as he came in for an easy second place. The Colonels forfeited the diving event to lose another 8 points and the meet. BOOSTER NIGHT Support Your BASKETBALL TEAM Tomorrow Night · +************************************************ Eddie Davis' Wilkes College cage squad m eets one of the top independent t eams on the eastern seaboard tomorrow night on the home court. The Philadelphia Textile Rams, coach ed by Walter 'Bucky' Harr is and sporting a 15 won - 3 lost r ecord, will invade the Wilkes gym at 8 :00 p.m. Last year the Rams, though beaten by Wilkes, r eceived a bid to play in the Eastern Regional At Large Tournament and are pointing for another bid to the same tourney this season. Philadelphia Textile will be led by Bob Simons, sophomore guard, the scpring leader in the Delaware Va lley area. Bob has amassed 424 points for a 23.8 average per game. The Rams also possess a fin e center in 6 feet - 3 inch Bob Molmgern who leads the team in rebounds. A booster night is being planned for this big game with all the high school basketball squads and their coaches being invited to attend. Student participation is also requested to make this project a success. Albright Game Wednesday night, Wilkes will close its basketball campaign on the home floor when they face the Albright Lions from Reading, Penna. Game time is 8 :00 p.m. The Lions have compiled a record of 10 wins and 12 losses this season under the direction of Coach Will Renken. Fred Dietzel is the scoring leader for the Lions, averaging 19 points per game. He will be aided by Stan Kaminski and Sam Preston who are also averaging scores in double figures. Saturday Night's Results Last Saturday night the Wilkes Colonels came through with their best played game of the campaign and a victory over Hartwick College. Final score: Wilkes 92, Hartwick 79. With five men hitting in double figures, the Blue and Gold took command early in the contest and never r elinquished their advantage. Fran Mikolanis returned to his high-scoring form by zipping 26 points through the hoop. Center Ron Roski played one of the best games of his Wilkes College career. He scored 21 tallies and was a tower of strength off the boards. George Gacha hit for 16 counters and played a good floor game. Clem Gavenas, sophomore guard, came through with 13 markers and sparkled on defense. Bernie Radecki produced 11 points and led the Wilkes fast-break attack. I COLONELETIES BEAT BLOOMSBURG GIRLS by Lee Baiera On Wednesday, February 18, the Wilkes Colonelettes p 1 a y e d at Marywood and were defeated, 79 to 29. In the first quarter, the score was even, however, in the second quarter, Marywood took the lead, and the Colonelettes were unable to catch up to them. High scorers for the Colonelettes were Florence Billings and Sylvia Trewern, ten points, and Beverly Major, nine points. Although the Colonelettes made seven out of thirteen shots, the Marywoodians marched on to victory. Wilkes vs. Bloomsburg On Saturday, February 21, the Colonelettes defeated the Bloomsburg Varsity "B" Club at Bloomsburg. In this game Wilkes took the lead and kept it to win the game, 37 to 16. High scorers for this game were Carol Thomas and Sylvia Trewern, eleven points, Florence Billings, by Richard J. Myers Seeking their third consecutive title in the annual Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling tournament, the Wilkesmen are at Hofstra College tonight. The defending champions enter the contest as light favorites to take a n unprecedented third crown. Ted Toluba and Marv Antinnes are the Coloneh' two unbeaten entrants. Coach Reese's cha rges went unscathed t hrough a brief, seven-meet season , running into difficulty only with th e a lways powerful Franklin and Marshall team, and with a s~rprisingly strong Lycoming crew. Last Friday night the matmen re fused to believe the press clippings of the Moravian Greyhounds a nd came out of the 'Hounds kennel with a resounding 30-4 win.

Stauffer spent much of the first. period on his back, then picked up· three points on a: near-fall in thesecond. He was reversed then~ but Jed 7-6 . going into the third round. A wild and wooly final period saw Stauffer come out on top, 10-6, and the parade was on. Jerry Senick met game Dave Cornelius in the 130-pound bout and Marv Antinnes got a takedown midway through the first round, rode throughout the second, reversed Cornelius in the · third, then drove like a man possessed to turn in a solid fall at 7 :31. . Joe Morgan pinned 137 pounder Bob Sallish in 5 :18, to put the Colonels ahead, 13-0. Morgan, fresh from his sensational win over Hartman of F&M, looked even better at Moravian and got the nod as this · week's "Athlete of the Week" for his efforts. Moravian broke into the scoring for the first time when Ron Bienkowski and Dan Turner wrestled to a 1-1 draw in the 147-pound class. Ted Toluba met ex-gridder Bob Silvetz in the 157 bout and turned the halfback every way but loose t ,:) ring up a hard-earned 7-1 win. Toluba nearly pinned his man on several occasions, but had to settle for the decision, his third of the £Eason and seventh straight win. Four o.f his wins have come on falls.
