Dick Stauffer SCIENCE LECTURE N• Y• U• DEPT• HEAD WILL SPEAK TUESDAY by Jean Shofranko by Richard J. Myers Staving off a determined try by Lycoming, the Colonels retained their Middle Atlantic wrestling supremacy last weekend at Hofstra College, rolling up 63 points to win the crown for the third straight year. Wilkes duplicated last year's domination of the annual tournament by coming out on top with three gold-medal champions, Dick Stauffer, Ted Toluba, and Marv Antinnes. To Stauffer, Colonel 123-pound stalwart, went the honor of clinching the victory. Lycoming needed three wins in the final rounds to have any chance of scoring enough to topple the champions, and Stauffer met Al Hazzard of Lycoming in the 123 final. He trailed Hazzard, who put him in trouble in the first round, but escaped early in the second period to tie the bout, then scored a takedown to go ahead. The two exchanged takedowns in the final period and Stauffer won, 7-5. Toluba met King of Muhlenberg • th e 157 fl na l , an d ·be came th e m second Wilkes titleholder with , a fine 3-2 decision.

"This year we will take our lumps." So said wrestling coach John Reese at the start of the season. The "lump" turned out to be one of solid gold, the Middle Atlantic wrestling championship plaque. Lycoming tried, but no team could stop the inspired Colonels from taking their third straight title. This, according to Reese, was to be the rebuilding year, the time to test previously untested talent on the mats. If this is a rebuilding team, then we would hate to see the opposition next year - they won't know what hit them. In our opinion this is the best showing ever made by a Wilkes team. Consider the fact that four of the varsity wrestlers were competing in their first year of college grappling, this is exactly one-half of the squad. If you still are doubtful, check into the teams they beat: F. and M., Ithaca, and Lycoming among others. These teams do not rate the title "cream puff" in our book; they are tough to beat, yet the Colonels defeated them. Our wrestlers smashed their way to seven straight victories this year, not an unprecedented record to be sure, but certainly one to be proud of. The sports world is not exactly our 'line' but you don't have to be an expert to know when a team deserves all the credit in the world for a fine showing. Congratulations! The Answer Man Every president of every organization on campus has been bombarded, via Chase Hall mail box route, with queries about his organization in connection with the self-evaluation going on. These question sheets are usually printed on white paper, · in what we call "final exam blue" ink. The ditto machine has been working until all hours of the night turning out these articles of torture. The various committee chairmen on the evaluation committee want to know ALL, nothing can be hidden from their probing questions. For instance, one innocent-looking paper contained this loaded line: name the officers of your organization for the years between 1948 and 1959. We tried, but had to give up on that one. Some presidents, however, have emerged, dusty, but victorious, from stacks of old records with the answer. On the other hand, some of our 'leaders' have discarded in disgust the _carefully planned question sheets. Why? Because they require that old stopper, work. These questions were not dreamed up by some underworked faculty member who had nothing to do. They have a purpose. We grant that that purpose is not too generally known right now, but underneath it all, there is a reason. Let's get those answers returned to the proper person, it won't hurt. We realize that there is some duplication of effort, but that just makes the questions easier. Once you have looked up the answer for the first one, it is easy to write it down for the second committee. Some of the questions may seem silly (witness the one asked the Beacon: How are the students of the campus made aware of your organization?) but they must be answered sooner or later. We suggest that you save yourself embarrassment and answer them now. The Butler Did It We have been hearing some drastic statements around campus this week about the men from Butler Hall. It seems that the dormitory is holding a dance with the profit going to the families concerned with the recent mine disaster. Since the junior class decided to use its calendar date for a closed party, Wilkes was left without a Friday night dance, something that hasn't happened in years. The men of Butler, however, have not only provided us with a dance, but they have also added the incentive of having charity benefit. It is nice to see a group do something like this once in a while. Most of you who have ever sponsored a dance realize the work involved. At the end of that work, however, is the money-counting, the knowledge that you may not go into the red after all. Butler Hall, however, is just doing the work and waiving the bank book angle of the proposition. At least they will have the satisfaction of knowing that their work has not gone for nothing, they will have done a great service not only for the community, but also for the name of the college. -mjk WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

The general chairman is Robert Payne, who is being assisted by the following seniors and F.T.A.'s: Mike Dydo, refreshment chairman; Nancy Payne, decorations chairman; Robert Sesta-k, ticket chairman; Elisabeth Schwartz, publicity chairman. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Professor of Economics, was speaker at the laSt s~ssion of the Economics Club, and discussed pros and cons of the consolidation of the City of WilkesBarre with adjacent townships and boroughs. . _D_r.

Some advantages to consolidation, as stated by Dr. Rosenberg, are: increased population of WilkesBarre, from approximately 66,000 to 200,000; more national advertising for the local newspapers; a bigger attraction for industrial concerns; general economic improvement. Consolidation would also be a step toward solution of regional transportation, health, and air pollution problems. Dr. Rosenberg stated some of the disadvantages which might arise from consolidation. Questions to be considered are the following: What would happen to the police departments? Would they work as a by Pat Fushek Theta Delta Rho sorority will be "wearin' the green" this afternoon when they will sponsor the annual St. Patrick's Day Tea at McClintock Hall from 3 to 5 p.m. Area high school girls will be guests and will have the opportunity to meet with sorority members and members of the faculty and administration to discuss various fac ets of college life. General chairman of the tea is Doris Gademan. At its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening at McClintock, tentative plans for the TOR-Letterm en's Fashion Show were aired. The date of the show is May 6. Highlighting the meeting was a demonstration of various floral arrangements by Mr. Anthony Broody of Broody's Floral Shop, Plymouth. Mr. ,B roody, assisted by Miss Sophie Kancher, showed some of the many "tricks of the trade" in making corsages, hospital bouquets, and artificial coloring of flowers. Finished floral arrangements were then passed among the sorority members in attendance. Bio Club Beard Dance Next Friday in Gym by Lee Baiera Brush up those beards, men! Next Friday the Biology Club will sponsor the Fourth Annual Beard Dance at the gym from 9 to 12. Admission price for the dance is 50 cents. The men of Wilkes have been growing their beards for a long time, and the dance should prove to be interesting and laughable. Congressman Daniel J . Flood has accepted an invitation to be one of the judges, unless he is called out of town on congressional business. Mr. Welton G. Farrar will be the other judge. The jud.g ing of the beards will take place during intermission, and prizes will be awarded to the lucky men.

What about the existence of certain zoning laws in some of the communities included in the merger? F-ollowing the comprehensive discussion of the 'good and bad points', a group question and answer period was held.

As many of us expected, there were no resounding speeches made, no momentous decisions arrived at and the meeting will probably not go down in the annals as the anything spectacular. It was however, a success in less tangible ways. The mere fact that forty students found the time and the energy fo come to the meeting and air their views is a large measure of "spirit." Suggestions were made to alleviate some of the problems; some of the solutions were good, some poor and some downright bad, but at least everyone knew how everyone else stood at the end of the session. In a meeting of this sort it is usually the case that the mop-up is left to one organization. The Student Government was the catch-all for the unanswered questions and the problems to be taken up. 1111111111111111 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IJ11 A report from Butler Hall on last Saturday's benefit dance, the proceeds from which will go to the Port Griffith Disaster Fund: Gross Profits: Dance receipts, 144 pd. $ 72.00 149.75 Raffle Refreshments 9.60 $231.35 Expenses: Printing of raffle and dance tikets Thank you cards and Envelopes Coke purchases $ 12.00 .60 4.40 4.40 He Went That-a-Way Perhaps one of the newest topics to come under discussion was the case of the disappearing chaperon. We were not aware of the fact that chaperons were hard to find, both before and during the dances here on campus. Quite a bit of talk came from the fact that a list of faculty members willing to chaperon a dance is not , available. We personally can not see why one should be. It should be a compliment to be .asked to chaperon an affair, but it seems to be a much-disliked chore. If any of the complaining students thought about it long enough they would probably see why. Who wants to go to a dance, sit in the ~ack of the gym and be generally ignored by all the students ·at the dance? Some students do, we admit, make an attempt to pass the time of night with the neglected faculty member, but the relationship is a strained and hurried one. The day may come when students attending a dance will realze that the faculty are guests and should be treated as such. Do you invite a person to your home, free of course, and then let him sit in the livingroom and ignore him? Why do it at a dance? A guest is a guest, no matter where he is; at your home or at a sport dance or formal in the gym. A list is not the solution; a little bit of friendliness could go a long way. Get Well Wishes The Beacon extends get well wishes to Mr. Thomas Richards, chairman of the mathematics department. Mr. Richards was admitted to Wyoming Valley Hospital last weekend when it was discovered that he was suffering from pneumonia.

The student discount seats are being offered to students and teachers at $3.45. They are orchestra seats, normally costing $6.90. "J.B.," starring Christopher Plummer, Raymond Massey and James Daly, has won extraordinary praise from the New York and national Press. In the N.Y. Times :Brooks Atkinson referred to it as "one of the memorable· works of the century." At this writing it has just been nominated for five "Tonys" by The American Theatre Wing. In fact, "J.B." has received international critical claim. Archibald MacLeish is a two time Pulitzer Prize winner, a former Librarian of Congress, and one of America's foremost men of letters. Elia Kazan has achieved stellar status for his direction of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Tea and Sympathy," and "Skin of Our Teeth." "J.B." is being presented by Alfred de Liagre, Jr., noted for his production of "Voice of the Turtle," "Madwoman of Chaillot," and "Janus." Special Student Discount Plan blanks, for use either by mail or at the ANTA Theatre box office, have been sent to the Chairman of the English Department and the Director of Public Relations. Additional supplies of these student discount forms may be had by writing Alfred de Liagre, Jr., 55 West 42 nd Street, New York 36, New York. Self-Evalualion program Now 0n by Connie Stukowski Early last fall Wilkes began an extensive self-evaluation program which will continue until January of 1960. This program is part of the preparation for the re-accreditation of the college by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Learning. The evaluation itself is an analysis of the college's total educational effectiveness made by its own staff, its students, and alumni, the people best qualified to do it and to whom it means the most. The basic purpose is to give these interested people a clearer concept of what they want the college to be, and thus to stimulate a new surge of common effort to develop and improve the entire institution. At the present time the major portion of the work is being handled by the faculty with Mr. George Elliot serving as the general chairman. There is als.o a co-ordinating committee consisting of Mr. Elliot, Mr. Robert Riley, Dr. Eugene Hammer, and Dr. Francis Miehelini. Each member of the faculty is participating in the various phases of the self-evaluation. They are concerned with four major groups: the admission policy; student personnel and counseling; interviewing s t u d en t s an d a Iumm• t o get reactions, such as success in one's life work; and an appraisal of the faculty and school fa cilities. The faculty holds meetings at which time they discuss their findings and make recommendations. Substantial progress has been made on several of the phases. Mr. Elliot reports that considerable information has been assembled concerning the objectives of the college, the admissions policy, the organization and administration of the college, It's easy to tell friends from ene- the curriculum, the college catamies. Your friends will tell you logue and the faculty. In the futo shut up. ture the committee hopes to gain information on finances, school facilities, the library, student personnel services, extra-curricular activities, and special programs, such as teacher training. The final phase of the self-evaluation will concern the students and alumni. In all probability students and alumni will be given interviews and polls. In using these methods the evaluating committee hopes to determine how well the college has Luzerne been able to accomplish what it set out to do.

The whole is equal to the sun, of its parts ( But some of its parts are more equal than others!) This was just one of the outstanding performances 'The Gooch' turned in this season. Many of his great games saw him playing the role of the playmaker while ranking second or third in the scoring column, although hampered by an injured ankle this year. George "ripped the nets" with a season's average of 15 points per game. This is George's third season as a starter, and the junior co-<:aptain has amassed 881 points in a Blue and Gold uniform in that time. Last season his playing ability was honored when he was named to th e Middle Atlantic Conference's AllStar second team. George is also active on the baseball field and has earned diamond letters the past two seasons. Sports seem to be George's middle name, as he has been active on the sports scene since his high school days at St. Mary's. It was here that he started his 'patented' jump shot from the wrong foot and starred in basketball and baseball. After graduation he entered the U.S. Navy where he really matured into the polished athlete of today. Evidently Gacha isn't superstitious - when playing third base with Sand Point he helped the team capture the title of the Naval District. Of the 13th Naval District, that is. But in service basketball George gave a clear indication of the sport in which he is chiefly known to Wilkes fans. As usual, it wouldn't have bee n a Gacha performance w ithout the capture of a few titles, and in the net sport George topped his r ecords in both baseball and football put together. George Gacha To begin with, he av eraged 20 points per game, a habit of his that still embarrasses opponents in cage tilts at the Colonel drillshed. Then, he was named captain of his squad, as well. And to make it stick, George proceeded to lead his team to two district titles - no wonder that he was twice named to the first A four game elimination roll-off t eam of th e West Coast Naval Allwill be held Wednesday afternoon Stars! at 4:00 p.m. to determine the After his discharge from the Wilkes representatives for the Navy George who evidently Eastern Intercollegiate Match doesn't breathe unless it's in some Game Championships to be held at sort of sports competition - hiked the end of April in New York. up the hill to Georgetown, and The roll-off will be for the top played amate ur ball for the St. 16 m en in the intramural average Joseph's team up there.

Coach Farrar has instituted a system of' eliminations for the squad that should allow him to field one of the best potential varsity t eams that the Mid-Atlantic Conf erence will see this year. The system rates the t eam m ember s on past performances from number one down to the lowest member on the t eam, then the individual squad m embers are allowed to challenge the person that is no more than two jumps on the scale ahead of him. The winner, of course, taking over the higher t eam position. The six man t eam that represents the Blue and Gold in actual play will be scored according to the Nassau system. There will be six individual matches with each match worth three team points. There is one point given for the winner of the first nine holes, another given for the second nine holes and the third point for the lowest total score. A tie for any of the points will give each player one half of a team point. In event the two teams end in a deadlock, the top two m en from both t eams will decide the outcome in a sudden death round. Wilkes golfers are well aware of this system of scoring, as they lost the last match of last season in a sudden death play-off to Mansfield State Teachers, 10-9. The first meet of this season will be against Hofstra, who took second place in last year's Mid-Atlantic Tourney. The squad will begin driving practice early next week in the Wilkes gym. The Jewish Community Center was good enough to lend the team a huge net for the indoor practice. GOLF April Away, 1:00 17-Hofstra Home, 3:00 22-Juniata 25-Lycoming .

The 265 eclipsed the previous high game of 255, set by his teammate, Emil Petrasek. Ray Yanchus was top man for the Teetotalers, who cooled the redhot Raiders, 3-1, to move from the cellar to fifth place.

PRESIDENT we Digging into the depths of our mailbox last Tuesday, discovered a very neatly printed outline of what could have become a nice front page story. But, as we said, it was an outline. The bare facts that were presented told us that there will be a Jazz Concert for College Students on March 26 at 7:45 in the Jewish Community Center. Also included was a list of "Northeastern Pennsylvania's Finest" jazz groups. These facts do not constitute a news story. We need things like the name of the sponsor, the price of the ticket, the committee chairmen, the program, and so forth. Questions such as "is it a dance, concert or both?" go unanswered. , Getting unsolicited news is one of the nicest parts of our job, but when it has to go to waste, it is nothing but a shame. Perhaps it is our fault that this type of thing happens. We should have raised our objections to incomplete stories and unsigned contributions earlier. In the future, put your name on the copy that you give to us. If possible, include your phone number or a number where you can be reached to answer further questions. We would appreciate it, and you will get better results when we can contact you for the complete story. mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

TWO DORMITORIES SPONSOR 'DANTE'S INFERNO' 'TOMORROW Dr. Eugene Hammer, head of the Education Department, was elected to the presidency of the Pennsylvania Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching at the Association's annual meeting held at Harrisburg last week. The women of Weiss Hall and the men of Barre Hall, campus dormitories, have combined forces to provide entertainment on campus tomorrow night. They are sponsoring a campus-wide dance to be held in Barre Hall. The purpose of this affair is to promote school spirit by opening a dormitory function to the entire campus. The School Spirit Committee has also endorsed this dance and has offered its services toward making it a Dr. Hammer was chairman of success. the Friday afternoon sessions at A Word to the Wise •.. Next week there will be no issue of the Beacon; therefore, all reporters, organizational publicity directors, and club officers are invited and urged to attend an informal newswriting seminar, conducted by the Beacon editorial staff, Tuesday evening. The meeting will be held in the offices of the Beacon. third floor, 159 S. Franklin Street, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Many important features of writing, editing, copy-reading and proofreading, advertising procedures, and layout practices will be explained. For staff reporters, the meeting is essential. Anyone not on the staff, but interested in "going places" with the Beacon would do well to make every effort to attend the seminar. The meeting will be of particular interest and value to club officers, because they will get a glimpse into the workings of a newspaper and gain an understanding of some of the problems confronting an editor. Through this knowledge, they will be able to get the most publicity for their organizations at the least expenditure of effort and at a minimum of confusion. It goes without saying that any member of the staff who wishes to apply in the future for an editorial position has a lot to gain by attending and a lot more to lose by being absent. A word to the wise... . RJM Friday, March 20, 1959 Dr. Eugene Hammer which problems of "The Preparation of College Teachers" were discussed. Nearly every Liberal Arts college in the State was represented at the meeting; 54 colleges and universities sent delegates. Educators taking part in the program under Dr. Hammer's session were: Dr. Ralph J. Rackley, Dean of the College of Education at Penn State; Dean William E. Arnold from University of Pennsylvania; Dean Paul A. Masonar, University of Pittsburgh; and Dr. D. Willard Zahn, Dean of Temple University. CHEMISTRY CONTEST ANNOUNCED BY U.S.C. The opening of the 1959 contest in colloid and surface chemistry among college undergraduates is announced by the University of Southern California. The contest is sponsored by the Continental Oil Company of Houston, Texas and Ponca City, Oklahoma, and is now in its third year. Students of chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering at all accredited universities of the United States and Canada are eligible if they are regular undergraduates on April 1, 1959. The contestants may enter either a report on a research project conducted by themselves or an essay on the subject, "The contribution of Irving Langmuir to colloid and surface chemistry." Langmuir, American Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, passed away less than two years ago. He was with the General Electric Co., Schenectady, New York. The best essay and the best report will receive each prizes of $500 and the second best each $200 under contest regulations. Honorable mention prizes of $50 each are also provided. The deadline for submitting entries is July 1st, 1959. Entry blanks may be obtained immediately by writing to Prof. K. J. Mysels, ·C hemistry Department, University of Southern California, Los Angeles 7, California. The prizes will be awarded by a panel of anonymous judges and will be distributed September 1st. As contest chairman, Dr. Mysels is being assisted by an advisory committee composed of Professors P.H. Emmett, Johns Hopkins University; V. K. La Mer, Columbia University; and Marjorie Vold of the University of Southern California. The Monarchs will provide the music. This well-known band was r ecently a huge success at the rock 'n' roll show held in the Wilkes gym on February 9, where they played for Fabian, a popular recording star. Members of the band have also recently played at Penn State University and Cornell University. Barre Hall will be decorated as a speak-easy named " Dante's Inferno." As the main theme of the dance is the Roaring '20's, the idea of a speak-easy promises to offer a touch of authenticity to the affair. The Monarchs will be playing Dixieland Jazz in coordination with the theme as well as their usual rock 'n' roll and slow dance music for a wide variety to suit almost every musical taste. The committee, composed of members of both Weiss and Barre Halls, are going all out to make this dance a school-spirited affair.

March 20, · 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Approval for laying the foundation of a Wilkes College track team was given by the Athletic Council this week. The Council gave their okay to students wishing to field a track team by permitting the hopefuls to exist as a club this semester. If enoug h interest is generated in maintaining a team, the Council will extend their efforts to put track on an intercollegiate basis next year. Club m embers will drill at Kirby Park and use the football clubhouse facilities adjoining the field. Drills will start as soon as weather permits and will continue for the duration of the semester. In order to compensate for the lack of equipment available, organi.zers of the track movement will attempt to schedule exhibition m eets with liocal high schools and colleges in the vicinity on an away basis. Ruth Borl/,m, Priscilla McCormack, and Rachel Altavilla, freshmen, were weekend guests at Staunton Military Academy, Staunton, Virginia, where they attended the Military Ball. Himmel Thomas Head T~nnis With four returning lettermen and many promising newcomers, the tennis team is entering its third year of intercollegiate competition. A better showing than in previou s years is predicted because of experienced lettermen: Ira Himmel, Jack Thomas, Paul Bleifer, Bill Woll, and newcomers Jim Swabuck and Dirk Dunlap. A college meet consists of six matches of singles beginning with the two best men on each team and continuing down until th e two number six men meet. The doubles competition operates with the same system but th ere are only three matches. Thi s syst em accounts for the meeting of players of near equal ability. To determine w ho the six competing individuals will be, eliminat ion matches are held among th e members of the tea m. Ira Himmel, last year's top man , will offer stiff competition for the number one position, but the other positions are less certain. The team has been practicing all week at the Central Y.M.C.A., and are anxiously awaiting the first break in th e weather so that outdoor sessions may begin. Practice .

DA VIS, Sports Editor The creation of a track t eam by student initiative and the r elatively new- inter est dev elop ed in golf and t ennis this year are evidence in themselves that the "Old" Blue and Gold's philosophy of giving no extra help to athl et es ma y be paying off in the long awaited bonus of more student participation in school activities. · Upon looking a little closer at the incr eased a ctivities in sports w e could probably find a fairl y close correlation with the g rowth of the school. The i:;robl err:s that the track and t enni s t eam s are encountering in coaching and obta ining adequate fa cilities are probabl y a preview of corning events. The fa ct that the school and inevitably the interests of the students are ex panding means that the power s that be are cramped trying to k eep apace with the desires of the student body. E xpansion has advantages and disad vantages. We will probably find a st a tisticall y large r and better informed administration, but a larger school al so means a loss of contact and more r ed tape between student and administration. Although student wants and desires will always be known a nd f elt in th e upp er levels, it will take · more time and student press ure to gain what is desired. MENTOR PROBLEMS Although Coach Pinkowski probably isn't too plea sed with the baseball turnout, we are of the opinion that things look dark est just before the dawn. Th e t eam doesn't seem overly powerful in the hurling department, but they should balance out in the fielding and slugging sections. W e believe that if Coach Pinkowski shows as much drive knowhow, and leader ship on the diamond as he did on the gridiron, 'he will ha ve a t eam at least a s successful as last year's winning baseball corn bi nation. Which brings the g eneral area of coaching under our closer scrutiny. The swimming team was plagued last year with coaching troubles and, until Russ Picton took over th e reins in the middle of this past season, they seemed doomed to a fate of oblivion. We believe that the upturn of interest in sporting activities shows that Wilkesm en are finally overcoming the lethargy that they were a ccused of having in the past. Coaches of future activities at Wilkes should begin to have less of a problem in gaining their quota of participants. BOWLIN ' 'EM OVER - Dan Lewis, shown abo ve in his favorite occupation, is currently far ahead of the 45 bowlers in the co-ed intramural bowling league.

The program, conduct ed by Pete Carlesimo, coach of the Scranton Univer sity Royals, gave coach John Reese and his eight-man squad an opportunit y to show viewers a few fundam entals in amateur wrestling. Re ese's presentation was designed to illustrate the difference between the " vaudeville" antics of the profess iona l wrestler s a nd the fine points of the coll ege and high school sport.

EMBASSY RESTAURANT JORDAN'S Est. 1871 MEN'S FURNISHINGS and HATS of QUALITY The Narrows Shopping Center Dan Lewis and his Goldbricks did what no other team has been able to do in the Wilkes Co-ed Bowling league all y ear, beat the Pinbusters, 4-0. They were the first t eam to succeed in winning a game from the league leader s in the first round of the sea son's play. Then, in the second round, they became the first t eam to take more than one point from the high-flying Pinbusters, when they won, 3-1. Now they have gone all the way , behind the sizzling 189, 215, 213-617 pace of t eam captain Lewis. Last Sunday night's a ction was a ll of th e shutout variety, as the Ra iders whitewashed the Bio Club a nd the Tenpins, currently in the cellar, rai sed up and slapped a 4-0 pasting on the second-place Play.boys, who fail ed to take advantage of the opportunity to go into a t ie: for first with the Pinbusters. The Raid ers, still firmly en-trenched in third place, moved to within three points of second and seven points from the leaders. The· idle Teetotal ers moved from fifth ·to fourth, ten games off the pace, trailed by the Goldbricks, who are eleven games away from first. For the second time this season, all t eam s bowling in the league have r ecords of .500 or b etter. This is caused by the "phantom" eighth team in the schedule. Each team g ets one night off in every seven weeks, gaining an automatic four points from the non-existent team. This method was employed to make scheduling an odd number of teams ea sier, and furth er to give weaker teams a chance to k eep in the running. Goldbricks 4, Pinbusters 0 Lewis' 617 series, coupled with Dave Sokira's 189-516, spelled doom for the Pinbust er s. The Goldb r icks won the first game by 87 pins, and wer e threatened only in the latter sta g es of the second game when they won by 29 pins. The third match was somewhat closer, 878855, but Lewis fini shed strong with strikes fro m the seventh fram e to ice the game a nd the point for total pins.

'CAF' NIGHT SERVICE SEEN IMPROBABLE remain open evenings for the convenience of evening school students have m et with little success, according to government president Robert Pitel. The management of the dining commons feels that evening openings would create financial problems, since an attendant would have to be on hand to clean up, wash dishes, etc. A large number of persons would have to use the cafeteria facilities in the evening to make this venture profitable. Since a cashier would not be employed for the evenings, an 'honor' system of paying for food or coffee would have to be put into effect. The student government would not be in a position to reimburse the cafeteria for financial loss, as has been suggested. Pitel report ed that additional meetings of campus leaders, student government, and administration may provide some s uitable solution to the cafeteria problem. ·***********************~ THE Record Shop in Wilkes-Barre JOE NARDONE'$ RECORD SHOP Just look at our ALBUM DISPLAY and you will be convinced. ************************ Navy Officer to Discuss Officer Training School A Nava l Officer will visit the campus on Wednesday, May 6th, to provide interested students with information concerning the many varied officer programs available in the Navy.

Everyone is asked affiliated University and College Bookstores. to bring his own refreshments. Principle: Catlin and Sterling dormitories The Government of Pennsylvania will have dormitory parties tomorhas placed an unfair burden on the college students in this Commonwealth. It has taxed citizens for the privilege of pursuing higher education in this state. This has been done in the form of a sales tax on purchases which includes within its limits a three per cent levy on college textbooks and supplies sold in affiliated ,University bookstores. While same state government has constantly sought means by which it might help to alleviate the acute situation of rising costs of college, it seems to have overlooked an obvious aid to the student.

Cinderella Date Set IMURRAY MGA HERE NEXT WEEK, IS CANDIDATE by Richard J. Myers Donald Murray, head of the United States de I e g at ion (the Wilkes chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations), will be a candidate for the presidency of the Model General Assembly to be held here next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Murray will be opposed by John Schloss of the French and New Zealand delegation (Adelphi College). Murray was head of the Ghana delegation last year, is a member of the Wilkes Debating club, parliamentarian of the Wilkes Chapter of C.C.U.N., and a member of the Wilkes International Relations Club. Schloss is the treasurer of the Adelphi C.C.U.N, chapter, president of the Adelphi chapter of the International Discussion group, and was a delegate to last year's General Assembly. Delegates from 47 colleges and universities will descend, over 400 Don Murray strong, on the campus for the weekend sessions of problems facing the group's parent organization, the United Nations. Designed to give college students a greater awareness of the responsibilities which nations face in a world of ever-increasing tensions, the Model Assembly resembles in nearly every way the workings of its world-wide namesake. Delegates from the Middle Atlantic States will represent the various member nations of the UN, and in the sessions will attempt to discuss and propose solutions of problems which their adopted nations face in real life. None of the delegates treats the Model Assembly lightly. In fact, the students study, for months in advance of the mass meeting, problems and issues of the nations they represent. They study the methods that nation uses in dealing with other nations in actual meetings of the United Nations, then will act accordingly in the Model sessions.

There will be no admission charge for the performances at Chase Theatre. Drama club members will enact modern adult drama as created by three of our foremost contemporary playwrights: Tennessee Williams, Christopher Fry, and Noel Coward. "Something Unspoken," by Tennessee Williams, is a moving drama of southern life in the contemporary scene. It is a story of two women who live in the same household, but fear that there is something unspoken between them.

Better Late Than Never With the spirit of the aged and the enthusiasm of a thoroughly saturated blanket, the CCUN plods along with eyes partially open to what could be brilliant disaster. Exactly one week from today the curtain will be flung open on the second and probably last Model General Assembly to be held here. Last year at this time the major speaker of the session was contracted, had written and forwarded the written draft of his speech to the Public Relations Office and everything was set. This year - nothing. At press time (Tuesday evening) no speaker had consented to appear here, no publicity on any type of speech had been released, Public Relations officers were planning a mass jump from the Market Street bridge and the phone wires were jammed with frantic calls to Washington, D.C., home of some of the country's best speakers. Four hundred delegates from forty-seven colleges will probably witness one of the most fantastic flops in history if something isn't done - and done NOW. No one member or officer of CCUN can get the full blame for the disorganization of the affair. The fact is that there are few individuals in CCUN that have been in one position long enough to take any criticism. CCUN over the past month and a half has had all the moves of a grotesque checker game. Appointments, resignations, promotions, demotions and what have you have ruined any semblance of order in the group. Since the happy announcement that we were again to be honored to have the MGA here, there have been at least three publicity directors, all going mad because they had nothing to publicize. No one in his right mind would venture to criticize the publicity directors (all three of them). There was little to be said and less to be written. Few organizations are given the opportunity to gain such priceless publicity, and not many of that few have passed ii up as CCUN has done. The disorganization of CCUN is inexcusable. The result of this mayhem could be tragic for Wilkes, it certainly has already left its mark. not only on the college, but also on the Public Relations Office and the Beacon. The early stories printed in the town papers and the Beacon made the community and the student body aware of the fact that something big was coming up. THE MAILBAG 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 To Students of Wilkes: As captain of next year's cheering squad, I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in trying out for cheerlead~r for next year. Practice sessions will begin on Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m. in the gymnasium. The cheering squad will need seven new members as we have only four returning from the past season's squad. Everyone is welcome to attend these practice sessions followed by the final tryouts in May. Just as the purpose of a captain of a footb a ll t eam is to organize and to co-ordinate the team in order ·for it to operate effectively, the pur pose of a cheerleader is to organize and co-ordinate the spirit and support that the spectators of an athletic event wi sh to express for their t eam. v;~hen people go to a game, they a ttempt to support their favorit e t eam by shouting words of encotfragement. These words are lost in a jumble of shouts unless the shouts of all the spedators are org ani zed.

A treasurer's report showed a balance of $588.01 in the government activity fund. In response to the question on why only the freshmen received xrays by the mobile unit, the government reported that a state law allows x-rays to be taken every four years, and therefore the incoming freshmen are chosen .

Again in the th ird inning he smashed a liner into the outfield to drive in Bobby Ontko. In the sixth inning he again rapp ed out a single, but no runs crossed the plate. John is just recov ering from a broken ankle and until just previous to Monday's game it was doubtful whether he would see any intercollegiate competition this year. Although the bone in his ankle is just recently healed, John overcame the difficulties of th e catch er' s cro uched position and played a masterful defens ive gam e in that position.

Winding up a successful season, the Wilkes team composed of Cliff Brothers and Gwen Evans on the affirmative, and Roberta Feinstein and Fred Roberts on the negative, tied for fifth place with the girls from Misericordia. Dr. Kruger's orators made a creditable showing by posting a record of seven wins and three losses . It is interesting to note that they defeated Lehigh, Grove City, Westminst er, Gannon, Temple, Misericordia, and Marywood, while losing to Scranton, King's, and Dickinson. The Wilkes record at the end of four rounds was 7-1, second highest in the tourney, but two losses in the final seeding round eliminated the local contingent. This is the first time in four years that Wilkes fail ed to qualify for this round. Last year Wilkes placed third, in 1957 first, and in 1956 second. The winner of this year's tournament was the University of P ennsylvania. In seven tournaments this year Wilkes debaters had an aggregate r ecord of 37 wins and 23 losses, for a winning percentage of .602. Yest erday the debate squad presented a modified debate for the Dallas Rotary Club. Accompanied by Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, debate coach, the squad acquainted the Rotarians with the mechanics and techniques of debating. Fred Roberts took the affirmative, Roberta Feinst ein the negative, and Cliff ·B rothers acted as moderator.

Memorial EDITORIALS - Welcome Delegates The Beacon staff extends a cordial welcome to all the delegates who have come to Wilkes for the Model General Assembly this weekend. This will be an active weekend for all the participants and we sincerely hope that your stay here will not only be enjoyable but also profitable to you. All the sessions of the M.G.A. will be open to the public. This should be an ideal opportunity for all interested persons not directly connected with the sessions to get an insight on the workings of the parent organization, the UN. The major speaker at tonight's opening session, Mr. Willard Johnson, will deliver his address at 7:30. Mr. Johnson has an interesting and varied background and is well suited to speak to the assembly on matters pertaining to international affairs. We hope that the student body will not pass up this opportunity to attend the sessions and learn a little about the processes that coordinate world relations. Neither Rain, nor Sleet ... Spring may not have been here as reported and forecast, but that small detail did not in any way lessen the success of the first annual Spring Weekend. The tremendous reception given the series of events was a welcome surprise to the planners of the affair. The April Showers dance had perfect weather, it rained all evening. Saturday's outing at Wolfe's Grove was more of an inning, but nobody seemed to mind the lack of baseball playing and other such strenuous activities. Catlin and Sterling Halls had well attended dances Saturday evening. The decorations in both dormitories were well thought out and effectively arranged. All the dorms outdid themselves cleaning and polishing for open house Sunday afternoon. The whole weekend ran smoothly despite the adverse weather conditions. We think that this fact is high praise to the planners and coordinators. Mullie Spinelli and Skip Gladstone of the School Spirit Committee and Allyn Jones of the I.D.C. deserve a carload of credit for a job well done. The Beacon extends its congratulations to all who helped make the first annual Spring Weekend a rousing success. -mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

AU opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pultlication but those of the individuals. Dear Madam Editor, It is a well-known fact that the freshman class is a new organization on campus. Since when, however, does this fact give other organizations the right to take that which rightfully belongs to the freshmen? Recently, the m embers of our class were informed of the loss of our calendar date for ou1· dance. Because plans had already been made by another club on campus, ·we r elinquished our date without hesitation. We were promised (in return for our generosity) another date. After accepting the only other available date and making plans accordingly, we were subjected to another change in plans. This too we will have to accept, but in the future we would be glad to see all classes and clubs dealt with equally. An irate freshman (Ed. note: name withheld) Fund Status Revealed, Called Foresighted Plan for Giving Special to t he BEACON, from Alumni Office Since time immemorial, graduating classes from colleges and universities have given class gifts to their Alma Maters as a means of perpetuating the memory of their classes. Many have been wonderful additions to their campuses, but many have not. Lack of planning has too often meant a gift of no consequence or of little value to the school. One of the primary causes of this misfortune has been lack of funds. To correct this, oftimes this meant that each member of the class was assessed when he could least afford it - in the senior year. By class direction, the Class Memorial Fund grows from an assessment of $1.00 per semester for each student. Each Freshman class decides by voting whether or not they would like to adopt this plan. A majority vote decides if the vote is favorable - th en the plan is put into effect. Upon the request of the classes adopting the plan, in 1956 Dr. Farley directed the comptroller to add $1.00 to each student's tuition and to establish r ecords which would enable the classes to have the funds collected and recorded for them without any bookkeeping problem on their part. As a result, the class treasurer receives a report each year from the comptroller m entioning the total of the class fund as of that year. The plan has proved to be highly successful with only a minimum of financial strain on the individual student. The last three graduating classes have been able to give gifts of great value to the College without any financial difficulty. The second phase of this plan involves class contributions after graduation - as alumni. An independent college such as Wilkes must look to its friends and alumni for financial support, for it receives no aid from other sources. It is a simple truth that no student by benefit of paying his tuition fully pays the full cost of his education. Tuition alone does not balance the Madam. Editor, On March 18 the sophomore class of Wilkes Coll ege sponsored a Donkey Basketball game for the benefit of the General Hospital's Building Fund. In spite of the fact that on the same night a "dream basketball game" and the opening of the Shrine Circus competed with our game, I am happy to inform you that the project was a great success, with the Faculty defeating the Athletes, 18-14, before approximately 1,300 people. After taxes and other expenses the class last week was able to turn over to Dr. Samuel Buckman, chairman of the Building Fund Drive, a check for $337.62. This amount is one of the largest ever given to a charity by any single - student organization at Wilkes. We realize that this project could not have been the success that it was without the co-operation of the following : Public Relations Office, the Beacon, the gym crew, the General Hospital staff, and the athletes Class of 1956 and faculty members who participated in the game. To those listed, the class of '61 say an humble (as alumni) "thank you." Because of the success of the (as alumni) project and the show of co-operation by the people at Wilkes, our Class of 1957 class has decided to adopt the Donkey ,B asketball game as an annual affair. (as alumni) Respectfully, Gil Davis, president Class of 1958 Class of '61 To All Students: On May 4, 1959, the Wilkes College Intercollegiate Government Organization will hold a political meeting concerning the local elections. This meeting will bring together both parties, Democrats and Republicans, plus all the factions of the Republican party. As you probably realize, the Republican party has split into three factions this year. They include the Real Republicans which is the Stroh faction, the Victory Republicans which will be Flack's group, and the Regular Republicans which consists of the Clark faction. At this meeting, each group will present its platform and will then be open for questions. To this date, we have received information along the line that Attorney Silverblatt will be here to represent the Real Republicans, Mr. Olexy will be representing the Regular Republicans ; the Victory Republicans claim they might be bringing their whole ticket to this important pre-election meeting. The Democrats will probably be represented by Dr. Dorris. From the looks of things at the present, this meeting should prove to be interesting and enlightening. The public and the entire student body is invited to attend. The meeting will take place in the Commons and will begin at 8:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Plan to be there and bring an interested friend. I'm sure it will prove worthwhile. Frank Steck I budget. This additional financial support must come from other sources, and more and more colleges and universities are turning to th eir alumni for this support with wonderful results. Upon graduation, the class memorial fund really becomes a ctivated, for the second most important feature is that it is in effect a "joint savings plan" whereby all funds raised through your class annually are placed in your Class Memorial Fund until the class trustees, elected at graduation, have decided through polling of the class the purpose for which they would like the funds used. You can see that this is a longrange plan. The Class Memorial Fund Plan can become the means by which Wilkes can grow in futur e years. It is conceivable that any given class in years ahead can acquire enough money through annual contributions of its class m embers to do something substantiali.e., construct a portion of a building, endow a faculty chair, give scholarship aid, contribute toward faculty salaries, or any other purpose that will help to develop Wilkes College. The benefits received from the fund in its short history are illustrated below. Even in the plan's infancy, the College has benefited from the generous foresight of the last three classes. We hope that it is the beginning of a tradition.

BAD WEATHER HAMPERS GOLF PRACTICE, TEAM TRAVELS TO TEST FLYING DUTCHMEN by Dan Lewis Hampered by bad weather in their practice grounds at lrem Temple Country Club, the Colonel golf team is meeting topranked Hofstra Dutchmen today at the Hempstead, Long Island, links. The high-Flying Dutchmen have been consistently in the first three ranks of the Middle Atlantic playoffs for the past five years, and they are rated as one of the top small college golf teams in the country this year. Last week they shut out Seton Hall, 18-0, and Tuesday they again beat a powerful N.Y.U. team, 17-1. The m en representing the Blue and Gold at H empstead are : Probable leadoff player, Eddie Mikolaitis, graduated from Hanover High School and is presently a senior education major. Ed is noted for his very good work with the irons and should address th e ball with good results today. Second man on the roster is Bob Janus co. Last year Bob finished in the semi-finals at the Hollenback tourney and is expected to do great things for th e youthful Wilkes team. In third spot on the team is P ete McLaughlin. Pete is a returning letterman from last year's team with an improved game and shows top form when he is put under pressure. Paramus, New Jersey, sends us two-sport letterman Pete Perog, who is holding down fourth spot on the team. Pete is one of the most consistent golfers on the t eam and the 5 foot, 8 inch golfer should produce results in reverse ratio to his short stature.

EDITORIAL Redevelopment Petition Circulating Students of this college are taking an active part in the eventual redevelopment of the Wyoming Valley area through the means of a petition to President Eisenhower to use his in-fluence to help passage of Senate Bill 722, the Area Redevelopment Bill. The petition cites a continued reduction of employment in the anthracite industry as a disruptive influence in the lives of area families, with women going to work while men are forced to remain idle because of the lack of jobs open to them. It is fitting and proper that students, many of whom are planning or hoping to remain in this Valley as permanent residents, should see fit to circulate such a petition. It is even more fitting that it receive the whole-hearted support of the remainder of the students, who are receiving an education through the foresightedness of those Valley citizens responsible for the existence of Wilkes College, an entirely public-dependent institution. We urge that you not wait for the petition to reach you, rather, search out Gordon Roberts or any of the members of the _S tudent Government and ask to be a part of this undertaking. -RJM WHAT •. • WHERE . •• WHEN ..• Engineering Club Square Dance - Gymnasium, Tonight, 9:00 Senior Class meeting - Pickering 203, Tuesday, 11 :00 Junior Class meeting - Sta1•k 109, Tuesday, 11 :00 Sophomore Class meetin·g - Stark 116, Tuesday, 11 :00 Freshman Class meeting - Gymnasium, Tuesday, 11 :00 (Newly-elected officers will take office at these meetings.)

Swigert (Some!hing Unspoken) Below: Fred Malkemes and Jocelyn King (A Phoenix Too Frequent) ------------- ~ Three One-Act Plays I Well Received; C'n' C I Versatility Displayed Cue 'n' Curtain's presentation of three one-act plays last week again proved the versatility and imagination of the group. Not enough praise can be given to the cast, crew and directors of th e productions. "Something Unspok en," direct ed by Mr. Al Groh, was th e more serious play of the three. Starring Misses Mary Frances Swigert and Ginny Lyons, the play contained a message that unfortunately was missed by a large part of the audience who were looking for 'the lighter side. The slightly unreceptive mood of the audience did not in any way distract the two a ctresses. Miss Lyons did a splendid job in the role of Grace, despite the fact · that she stepped into the part only a week before the curtain went up. Miss Swigert's aristocratic stature and slightly shaking southern accented voice established her as a versatile and dependable actress. Miss Jocelyn King brought down the house with a tremendous dis-1 play of acting talent "A Phoenix Too Frequent." Her inperfect facial •_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ __;. i expressions added just the right touch to what could have been a slightly morbid play. Fred Malkemes added to his laurels with a thoroughly convincing portrayal of Tegeus in "Phoenix." Malkemes has the ability to relax in any part or costume and was at his best last week. Miss . Sally Price, as Doto in "Phoenix," was the surprise of the Cue 'n' Curtain season. Miss Price, although a little too aware of the audience, carried the part well. "Fumed Oak," starring Miss Audrey Bartlett and Robe1t Stevens, started with all the effects of an out of control whirlwind but unfortunately began to drag toward the end.' The first scene was so typical it was hysterical; however, the second scene lagged woefully behind the terrific punch of the first and gasped to a rather uninteresting finish. Miss Bartlett snapped and yapped through her part with the polish of a professional while Stevens, attired in baggy suit, was perfectly cast for the part of Henry Gow. Stevens was delightfully smug, pompous, arrogant and diffident throughout the play. Miss Judi Coplan sniffed and slumJ_Jed to perfection while Mrs. Chester Colson, although slightly forced at times, added the needed feeling of maturity to the part of the typical mother-in-law.

Award Competition for percentage increase." This statement was received in a recent letter from Professor Harold Fischer, the Director of the University Chapter Division of the Society for Advancement of Management. The Hamilton Watch Award Competition is a method by which the University Chapter Division of S.A.M. stimulates the growth of the University Chapters. At the end of the school year each of the six chapters who qualify (two in total membership increase, two in absolute membership increase, and two in percentage increase) is presented with a citation and a Hamilton electric watch. The watch is then presented to the member who had contributed most to the membership increase of the chapter. Pictures of the presentations are published in Advanced Management magazine, which has international circulation among colleges and universities and business and management personnel. Since its reorganization in January the Wilkes Chapter of S.A.M. has been working under the assumption that a dynamic chapter with a broad program of activities and expansion of services to its membe1•s will experience a significant growth in membership. As a result of its numerous and varied activities the chapter has experienced a phenomenal growth. At present the membership t o t a 1 stands at 110, a 647 % increase over last year, thus making the Wilkes Chapter the 10th largest of the 151 chapters in the nation. The Wilkes S.A.M. Chapter has also won the distinction of having been elected into the "100 Club", a select group including only those chapters which have exceeded the 100 mark in membership enrollment. Some of the activities which the chapter has sponsored are: forums on employee motivation, discussions on management training on both college and plant levels, a lecture on what management seeks in college graduates, an enlightening view of medical compensation insurance, and field trips to local industries. In addition to the activities spon~ sored directly by the Wilkes Chapter, the members have taken the opportunity offered by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Senior Chapter to attend many of their meetings. The Senior Chapter has presented excellent speakers and lively discussions on current management problems. The highlight of the year was a visit of Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, the foremost expert on time and motion study. The Wilkes College Chapter will continue to present activities which will aid in supplementing the text book and in developing the philosophy of management in the student, "Industrial Progress Through Enlightened Management." The progress of the Wilkes Chapter of S.A.M. is in keeping with the spirit and highest traditions of Wilkes College! �wnn:s COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL Letter to the Editor ...

In the first place, we don't agree with you in your accusations, and we further see no point in "blasting" the officers. The election officers are perfectly aware that one machine was not enough and we have been told, by the president of the election committee, that having one machine was the idea of the officials in the Court House - not the election officers. The people who bothered to go to the trouble of getting a machine here should be congratulated for their thoughtfulness. As for those who couldn't vote, we would like to point out that when we went into Chase Theater at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon there was no one using the machine. If you had to work, or had a ride home or had nine hours of class on Thursday, then perhaps you have a gripe. We have the feeling however, that anyone who really wanted to vote, could have done so.

First aid instruction is offered at many of the leading colleges and universities throughout the country, and it has proven to be a worthwhile undertaking. No one ever knows when such training may save a life. I have submitted this letter in the hope that the idea will come to the attention of the administration, and that they will look into the matter.

As a part of that calendar, they awarded to the Freshman Class two activities dates, October 31, 1958 and April 17, 1959. Unknown to the Student Government, or the Administration, the CCUN, at some subsequent time, scheduled the MGA for April 17-18-19. By the time the conflict was discovered it was too late to reschedule the MGA and the Freshman Class · had to make arrangements for another activities date. On April 1, the CCUN submitted a formal letter of apology to the Student Government. The Student Government feels that this does not wholly resolve the issue. It still remains that the CCUN irresponsibly scheduled an activity on a date which had been previously reserved for the Freshman Class. This type of promiscuous scheduling by any organization can not be tolerated. Were it tolerated, it would mean that any organization could hold any event they desired on any date they desired. This would lead to unwarranted competition and eventually mayhem. Student loyalty would be split and eventually they would refuse to attend any social affairs. NO ORGANIZATION IS PREFERRED TO ANOTHER. In view of the circumstances, the Student Government suggests that CCUN make a public apology to the Freshman Class.

Clem Gavenas pitched an excellent game for the Recruits in their 5 to 4 victory over the Snafus. The victory was the third in sue-· cession for Recruits and sets the scene for th e game next week between them and an oncoming Phonies team. A victory for the Phonies next Tuesday would throw the National League into a threeway tie between the Phonies, Snafu s, and Recruits. In Wednesday's game the Recruits showed evenly balanced hitting power as Selody, Yanchus, Kemmere1:, Havira, Kubicki, and Lewis all had one hit apiece. The fa.ltering Snafus were bolstered by a triple and a single from• Gil Gregory and hits by Norm Chanoski, Bill Michaels, Marv Antinnes, and "Perky" Perkowski. The Blivets are still top dogs in the American League and should succeed in their pennant drive as their one remaining game is with a comparatively weak Financeer team.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HENDERSHOT'S HITS AID WILKES VICTORIES; BOOMING BAT EXPLODES EXTRA BASE BLOWS Ralph Hendershot, one of the best long-ball hitters to wear the Blue and Gold spikes in some years, earned the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" title for his performances in the Colonels' two recent diamond victories. With his explosi ve bat, he provided the winning blow in the 5-4 squeaker over the Lycoming Warriors last week; then, before the Saturday home crowd, led the parade of extra base hits in the Susquehanna tilt. quehanna nine, he even answered an SOS by Coach Pinkowski to relive another converted outfielder, Mike Dydo, on the mound. Although he was treated not too kindly by the Crusaders, he did a creditable job in the unfamiliar role, and showed promise of easing Pinkowski's pitching headaches. In the Lycoming game, he singled sharply to move John Harvey home with the winning run to climax a two-run rally for the 5-4 win. A two-letter man, Ralph also puts in a busy season in indoor competition on Eddie Davis' basketball team. He has been a member of the team for three years and the fans still bring his name up when speaking of long shots, remembering his 60-foot thriller in the 1958 season. Prior to Saturday, however, the big outfielder had to settle mostly for singles. In the game against the Crusaders he found the range and his bat began to boom again to the tune of a soaring, 375-foot round-trip blast and a fen ce-rattling double to account for three RIBI's.

PYATT TO PRESENT C'n'C ELECTS OFFICERS TODAY; AWARDS DINNER NEXT WEEK Thanks, but Not Good-bye RECITAL ON SUNDAY Five and a half years ago Wilkes was honored by having Mrs. Gertrude Allen Doane come as Acting Dean of Women. Original plans called for Mrs. Doane to stay for only three months, to finish out the semester. Through the urging of Dr. Farley and the student body, she has remained with us for a much longer and gratifying stay. The Dean of Women's office at Wilkes has been different · from those in other colleges since Mrs. Doane came. In other institutions of higher learning, to be "called to the Dean's office" usually means only one thing, - trouble. Here at Wilkes, a call from Mrs. Doane or a visit on the spur of the moment usually mean a pleasant experience. Mrs. Doane has been nothing but courteous and helpful to all students who sought her aid whether it be a personal or academic problem. Many times she has been sought out to answer questions on any subject from where to buy cokes for a dance to the scholastic average necessary for graduation. Men and women students have always felt free to just drop in to see and chat with Mrs. Doane emphasizing her amiable disposition and willingness to serve others. Theta Delta Rho has also gained much by having Mrs. Doane as their advisor over the years. She has been the guiding force behind the growth and spirit of that organization, helping in many ways to solve the problems common to most organizations. The Inter-Dormitory Council has recently honored the retiring Dean by naming the Outstanding Female Dormitory Student award after her. Since Mrs. Doane has been an outstanding Dean, it is fitting to give an award named in her honor to the outstanding female resident. Her services have not been limited to the Wilkes campus. She has been a prominent figure in service organizations throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, serving on many child welfare committees and charity projects. Her life has been dedicated to the betterment of young people. We hope that her retirement will be in word only, and that she will continue in her work with young people because we firmly believe that she has done much to make Wilkes a friendly campus. Her ability to remember the name of each and every student has never ceased to amaze us, and we have the feeling that she will never forget the students of Wilkes, just as those students will never forget her. We are sure that the students join us in thanking Mrs. Doane for a job more than well done and wishing her and Dr. Doane all the happiness that they deserve. -mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

Wilkes Chapter of the Inter - Collegiate Conference on Government and Politics sponsored the affair. Speakers were three Republican candidates for the office of District Attorney a n d one Democratic candidate. The moderator was Dr. Harold W. Thatcher, chairman of the history depa1tment. The speaker - candidates were Attorney Stephen A. Teller, candidate on the Regular Democratic ticket; Attorney Arthur Silverblatt, candidate on the Regular Republican ticket; Attorney Joseph P. Olexy, Loyal Republican Party candidate; and Att9rney Peter Kanjorski, Victory Republican Party candidate. Dr. Thatcher termed the session "a discussion of democracy at the grass roots level". Each candidate employment in Luzerne County and spoke for fifteen minutes. Attorney lamented the decline in hit the Republican administration in Was~ington_ for sendi_ng money to certam foreign countnes but defeating a distressed areas bill that would help this region. Attorney Silverblatt told of the social welfare program of the present county administration and what is being done for the benefit of the area's aged and infirm. He added that th e county commissioners, T. Newell Wood and J. Bowden Northrup, who are seeking another term in office, went into office with certain pledges and have kept them. Attorney Olexy said that there were two issues in this campaign. He enumerated them as "bossism" and simple morality in government. He commented that certain types of unsavory characters who exist in th e county as "hangers on" ought to be eliminated. He claimed the members of his ticket are "unbossed". Attorney Kanjorski, Victory Republican Party candidate, managed by Senator Harold E. Flac,k, said that it is th e wrong time to build a county home for the aged and infirm and struck out at the unwarranted expenditures of the present county commissioners. He asserted that this is the time the county is least able to finance a county home because of the drop in coal assessment.

METCALFE WILL ADDRESS ASSEMBLY FOR TENTH TIME by Lee Baiera · Mr. John C. Metcalfe, distinguished Washington news analyst and commentator, will make hi s tenth return engagement to Wilkes as a speaker at this Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Metcalfe is also one of the foremost prize-winning journalists in the nation. With over a quarter of a century of reporting experience on some of America's greatest newspapers, he has gained a wide reputation as an interp1·eter of American foreign policy. Metcalfe has traveled extensively in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, covering many great international conferences in these parts of the world for leading publications. His articles from Washington, New York, Europe, and Latin America have been syndicated throughout the world. Among the awards given to him for outstanding achievem ent in Am eri can journalism are: National Headliners Silver Plaque, Chicago Advisory Board Americanism Gold Plaque, Chilean Legion of Merit Decoration, and Norway's St. Olav Medal. H e began his journalistic career in 1925 with the Associated Press in Chicago. H e subsequently reported for the San Antonio Light and the Chicago Times. Later he became the Washington Diplomatic Correspondent for Time Magazine and the New York Herald-Tribune. He ha s also been the chief Washington analyst and syndicate writer for Worldwide Press Service. Mr. Metcalfe· is a contributor to various publications of articles on national and foreign affairs. He has also been a commentator and news analyst on t elevision and radio . networks.

Federal funds will be available to colleges on a basis of $20 for every enrolled student. Any requests in excess of that proportion will need an extra form to justify the extra allotment. A committee of government officials and educators will review requests requiring justification to determine whether the extra funds should be awarded. This necessitates a careful approach of the student applications by the colleges before submitting their requests to the government. Final figures should be available by September. Last year $7,847 was awarded to Wilkes, to which the College added $1,0()p. These funds were distributed to 40 applicants. The administration has expressed an opinion that the 1959-60 allotment ma y be as much as three times last year's figure, but emphasizes the need for students to use reason and careful study in making their applications. Qualifications Students applying for loans under this National Defense Student Loan program must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, fulltime students in good standing, and giving evidence of need. Special consideration Will be given in extraordinary cases where a student has a superior academic background with a desire to teach in secondary or elementary schools. Also, special consideration will be given to those entering science, mathematics, engineering, or foreign language fields. Loans will be made up ~o $1,000 per fiscal year, and should be used only for college expenses. Exceptional cases will be given consideration when necessary for a student to rema in in college. Repayment Repayment may be made in monthly payments, but the principal and interest shall normally be repaid in ten equal annual installments. Interest does not begin until one year from the date a student ceases to be in full-time enrollment.

For the past seven years the Sports staff of the Beacon has polled the coaches of the various intercollegiate teams, the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, and Beacon Sports staff, to find the athlete most deserving of that select title. Last year's winner of the award was Ronni e Rescigno who is presently teaching and coaching in a high school on Long Island. The year. before saw an undefeated season for Jim Ward on the wrestling mats and he walked away with the year's honors. The athletes eligible for the award qualify by being picked "Athlete of the Week" sometime during the school year under consideration. No other qualifications are necessary. He does not have to be a Senior nor to have lettered in more than one sport during the year. This year the balloting should see several men in real contention for the title with possibly a single vote or two deciding the issue between the approximately 18 eligible men. TENNIS The t ennis team seems to have acquired the ailment that is peculiar to young teams. The swimming and golf teams both had difficulties drawing their first blood, until they gained full-time coaches in the forms of Russ Picton and Welton Farrar. The tennis team now seems to be in the throes of "being or not being." Besides the lack of a fulltime coach they don't have a regular home court on which to practice and gain the advantage of meeting teams from opposing schools on grounds with which they are entirely familiar. On the credit side they seem not to lack for enthusiasm and seem to be getting closer and closer to winning their first meet. Hopes are especially high that they may be able to take Lycoming the second time around this season. BEST WISHES Best wishes are in order for Wrestling Coach and new Director of Athletics at Wilkes, John Reese. (See story on page five.)

The champs finished the regular league schedule with an unblemished 4-0 record. The college championship will be decided by a threegame playoff between the Recruits and the Blivets, American League champs. The Recruits started off with a bang, scoring all four runs in the first inning. Paul Klein, leadoff man, drove the first pitch into centerfield for a single. The next man, Bernie Radecki, received a free pass. Ra y Yanchus then reached first on an error with Klein scoring. Carl Kemmerer followed with a single, driving in the second run. The two baserunners were advanced by Fred Williams as he flied out to center, and then scored as Ken Selody doubled down the rightfield line. PARK SHOP and EAT You can reproduce the experiment.

Reasoning backwards, the discovery proceeds as follows : first, you will l}Otice a delightful flavor, in the class of fresh coffee or of bread baking. Obviously, such flavor cannot come from the filter. Therefore, it's what's up front that counts: Winston's Filter-Blend. The tobaccos are selected for flavor and mildness, then specially processed for filter smoking. This extra step is the real difference between Winston and all other filter cigarettes.

Mike Dydo pitched for the Colonels and was charged with his second loss of the season. Harvey's hit came with two down in the seventh inning and was a clean blow. Saturday's Results Saturday the Susquehanna Crusaders edged Wilkes, 4-3, in 10 innings, the winning run coming on a single by Ted Okimura as he was being intentionally walked. Okimura lunged across the plate at a wide pitch and plunked the ball into right field for a gameclinching blow. Freshman Pat Monaghan, former Meyers chucker, opened on the hill for Wilkes and worked seven innings limiting the Crusaders to three runs on three hits. He was relieved by Mike Dydo, who was working after pitching 9 innings the previous day, and brought his record to 3-3 for the season. Wilkes took an early lead with a run in the third inning. Shortstop J erry Lawrence singled, stole second and scored on an error. The Colonels increased their lead in the fifth when Dick Harvey singled, Ralph Hendershot walked and both scored on an error by the Susquehanna third baseman. Susquehanna came back in their half of the fifth as they collected their first base hits of the contest and tied the game with a run in the seventh, setting the stage for Okimura's unorthodox hit. Jerry Lawrence, Ralph Hendershot, and Paul Aquilino each hit safely twice for the Colonels while Dick Harvey garnered the other Wilkes hit. ~~$~~/;~==~~~~$ SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES for WIUES DANCES KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 141 Wood Street roHN i B.

FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1959 MIKE DYDO IS ATHLETE OF YEAR IN BEACON'S ANNUAL BALLOTING by MORGAN DA VIS, Sports Editor MIKE DYDO, senior all-round intercolegiate athlete was selected from a field of seventeen contestants to be 1958-59 Athlete of the Year. For the four years that Mike has been active in school athletics he .has been held in high regard by both the Coaches and BEACON staff, but his real value to both the baseball and , football teams didn't appear in its proper perspective untill this, his final year at Wilkes. Mike Dydo Photo by Swett With the realization that "Big" Mike won't be around next year to stand the 60-minute grind in filling the holes on the line or to be pulled in from his regular fielding position to take his turn on the mound and win four games at this writing, the impressed coaches and writing staff selected Dydo to be the Beacon's outstanding athlete.· Mike was co-captain of the grid team this past season and if he didn't fill the tackle position with a lot of weight, he did fill it with a great deal of know-how, experience, and determination. He was selected a little earlier in the year to receive the Howard W. Davis Award for excellence in athletics. His strong outfielder's arm was utilized to the maximum this year when he took on the regular role of pitcher for the Blue and Gold diamond men. He has a winning season going so far and is still more impressive at the plate when he gets his usual collection of doubles and triples. Balloting for the honor took place earlier this week, with the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, coaches and the Sports staff of the Beacon turning in their votes. The official voting showed some real competition for top honors, with sophomore wrestler and gridder Marvin Antinnes giving Mike (continued on page 4) 'Cindy' Features Fantasy/and Scene Jean Pyatt Helen Miller COMPTON GETS AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING JOB Dave Compton, senior Commerce and Finance student, received the Hamilton electric wristwatch in recognition for his outstanding work in enabling the Wilkes Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management to gain honors in the recent membership drive.

Schmidt on the birth of-a daughter, Nina, last Thurs- APPEARS NEXT WEEK CONGRATULATIONS ... day night at Mercy Hospital, Wilkes-Barre. Nina weighed in 6 pounds, 6 ounces. Eddie is the fellow who sets the Beacon type every week - and is the only person to read every word the Beacpn every week. The Beacon staff takes pleasure in dedicating this issue Nina Schmidt. A somewhat altered and extenat in sively enlarged Manuscript will apof pear on the Wilkes campus next to EDITORIAL Observations of An Editor With the announcement of the Beacon Athlete of the Year and the big story of Cinderella dominating the front page, we suddenly realize that there is only one more week of classes left for the '58-'59 school year; consequently there is only one more Beacon after this one. The last issue of the year usually has an editorial devoted to the thank you's and congratulations befitting the occasion of off with the old, and on with the new Editor, so with this our last chance we want to let you in on some of the feelings and experiences we have garnered through editing twenty-nine issues of the Beacon - more than any other Beacon editor can take credit - or blame - for. Unlmown to most students, we were plunked down into the Editor's chair back on May 2, 1958 when we took over unofficially in the absence of the Editor-in-Chief. Since then we have learned a lot, some of the impressions we got were good but the majority of them were, unfortunately, bad. One of the things that interested us was the fact that Wilkes students do not have the strength to stand behind their convictions or to support their ideas. We do not make this statement as an authority on the subject, we make it only through our own personal observations of the actions of students in connection with not only the Beacon, but also with other campus activities. Our editorial policy this year has been decidedly liberal, or even a trifle on the leftist side, if you wish, but we had a purpose in mind when we started to "tee off" on a few things. We perhaps over-emphasized things that possibly could have gone by, but we did so because we wanted to make people think. We wanted to get students so annoyed that they would sit down and talk, yell or scream until they reached the point where they would realize that some things were not as they should be on campus. Letters, ·We Don't Get Letters We made it a point to be around the Commons when the Beacon came out every Friday so that we could see the results of our work. Either one of two things happened; the people we criticized ran for cover or they came at us like madmen threatening all sorts of letters to the Editor. How many of those letters answering our editorials did we get? TWO. What happened to the rest? We are inclined to think that the people who were so indignant, and they probably had a gripe because we overemphasized many things, were afraid to defend themselves, they were afraid to refute us, afraid to express their side publicly, afraid to stand behind their convictions. Through the twenty-seven issues this year, we have received ten Letters to the Editor all together (this figure excludes open letters to the student body not concerned with the Beacon or addressed to the Editor). As we mentioned above, only two of these letters criticized us for picking out the bad spots on campus and pounding them into dust. Other college newspapers are filled with letters answering editorials that are much softer than ours have been. We are of course not competing with other colleges in the Letters to the Editor department, but the fact remains that Wilkes students, as compared to other college students, will not stand up for what they think is right. It stands to reason that students do things because they think they are correct in their actions, but when we proceded to criticize those ·actions, the students responsible just crawl away to sulk instead of letting us know how they feel. Dr. Farley Wouldn't Like It? Just as Wilkes students refuse to defend themselves, they also give up without even trying. Again, this is just our opinion based on what we have seen during our tour of duty. Many times we have seen or heard about meetings or informal gatherings where someone comes up with a brilliant idea - something that would raise school spirit and dispel some of the gloom that sometimes hangs over the campus. The idea grows, with others catching the enthusiasm until the whole thing seems wonderful. Then some disspirited, dis-illusioned and work-fearing wet blanket casually remarks that "Dr. Farley wouldn't like it" and there goes another idea out the window without even a decent burial. We frankly think that Dr. Farley would be amazed at the things he "wouldn't like," the number is overwhelming. He is reported to dislike things he never even heard of and we don't think that this is his fault. We think that the kill-joys on campus are using him as an excuse possibly to avoid work, and possible because they are afraid to try something new. Many times we have been a member of a group that was sure that the administration would stop an idea, yet we have never seen or heard of a sensible idea that, when asked, the administration has stopped. · We don't advocate the plan that everyone having an idea go rushing up to Chase Hall with a chip on his shoulder and demand that he be given his way. We merely suggest, meekly perhaps, that next year students ask before they give up an idea. You may be surprised to find that the Administration is composed of rather broad-minded and sensible people who are see~g the best for Wilkes, just as the students should be. End of lecture. -mjk week. Once again, the literary and art magazine of the college has been constructed to contain diversified expressions of student creativity which should prove interesting to all. The sixty-eight page edition will be prefaced with an editorial and dedication of the magazine to Wilkes, upon completion of its successful twenty-fifth anniversary. Included in the contents is a section of art and music expression, in which will be found pa intings by Michael Crush, Jim Connell, and Jim Cornelius. An original musical setting for the words of Thomas Wolfe, "Something Has Spoken to Me in the Night," has been submitted by Audrey Bartlett, senior music student and prominent pianist and organist. A select ed group of short stories, several of which wer e submitted by students of Dr. Philip Rizzo, occupies a major portion of the magazine. Among the short sto ries are the following : "The Platonic Seedsower " by Ronald Kryzn ewski is, in the words of the author, "a philosophical fantasy which satiricall y compares Romanticism and Rationalis m." The conclusion of the story "is a reaffirmation of Keatsian Negative Capability." Clifford Brothers' "Paul Gauguin Wept" is concerned with the trag ic life of the prominent French painter and his last days on the isle of Tahiti. •Barbara Poris has contributed a novel short story, "The Card Game," which reveals its meaning through sharp dialogue around a card table. Helen Klatt's "Blind Date" is a teen-age story which clearly r eveals a great amount of insight into the character of two 'young at heart' at their first r endezvous. Other stories are: "A Success Story" by Jim Eidam, "The Departure" and "The Raward" by Albert Valenia, and "Soldier " by Jim Cornelius. A theological essay, "The Old Testament and Criticism" has been contributed by Gordon Roberts, and poetry of varied nature by Pat Hemenway, Cliff Brothers, Robert Stevens, and Harvey Stambler is the remaining material in the publication. It is significant to note that this year has been one of great expansion for the Manuscript, for the association is not only presenting a larger publication than those in the past, but it also organized a film society, expanded its editorial staff, and enlarged its exchange program with many colleges and universities.

Myers Re-Elected President In last Friday's elections, president Dick Myers was re-elected for another year. Myers is a junior majoring in English, has been a member of the chorus for three years, is student director of the co-ed intramural bowling league, and is N ews Editor of the Beacon. Dick Wileman, junior Commerce and Finance major, was elect ed vice-president. Wileman is a native of Dallas, Pa., and is taking a ccelerated courses in an attempt to gain his degree in three years. He succeeds Wayne Wa lters in the position. Maury James of Kingston, a sophomore, was elected treasurer to replace Carroll Davenport, who held the position for three years. Harry Owens, a sophomore majoring in music education, was voted secretary. Owens will fill the post held fo r merly by J ohn Salva, who complet ed his degree work in F ebruary. A newly created post in the chorus, librarian-historian, went to freshman music education major Bob Eike, a graduate of Coug hlin High School. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

When the exchange program is completed, according to Harvey Stambler, exchange editor, the Manuscript yearly publication will be sent to at least fifteen colleges and universities in several foreign countries plus a large number of American institutions of higher learning. During the past year, the Manuscript exchange progTam has been broadened to include some sixty prominent American colleges. For the first time in the history of the Association, the Manuscript will be sent to Manchester University and North West University in Great Britain, the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and Sydney University of Sydney, Australia. When the exchange program is complete, the Manuscript will be "circling the globe" with creativity of Wilkes students. EDUCATION MAJORS TO VISIT RETREAT by Steve Cooney As a group project for their hygiene class, senior elementary education majors will make a trip Thursday, May 21, to Retreat State Hospital for a tour of facilities. The visit will include a tour of the rehabilitation workshops and talks with individual p a ti e n t s undergoing therapy. This will give the future educators a glimpse of what is being done to help our mentally ill. The information they learn they can then pass on to their st u d e n ts when they become teachers. Prior to the tour, Miss Florence Bueno, Directr ess of Nurses at Retreat Hospital, will visit the h ygiene class and explain the procedures used at Retreat. George Sura, Harold Klein, Martha James, and George Black are in charge of arrangements for the trip.

The paper, entitled "All About Me", is a collection of original poems by Mr. Alfred Groh, and will be recited on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. The Wilkes-Barre Fine Arts Fiesta was started two years ago, and is now considered to be an annual affair. Miss Annette Evans, Fine Arts Chairman, was well pleased with the performances of the Cue 'n' Curtain last year, and as a result, has asked the club to repeat their st erling portrayals. Awards Assembly T d H ues ay lo · onor Accomplishments by Jean Shofranko Students who have attained outstanding scholastic and service records will be honored at the annual Awards Assembly to be held Tuesday. The program will begin with an address by Dr. Eugene S. Farley. Presentation of the "Dean's Cups" will highlight the awards. Each year the senior man and woman who have achieved the highest scholastic averages for four years are awarded engraved cups by the deans. The Assembly Award is presented to the organization who has produced the best sudent assembly of the year. Members of the Student Assembly Committee will choose the winner. Sports awards, Cvmmerce and Finance award, Education club award, Cue 'n' Curtain awards, and Beacon awards are a few of the presentations to be made. May 12th Assembly John C. Metcalfe, White House correspondent, spoke on the Big Four foreign ministers' conference at last Tuesday's Assembly. Metcalfe considered a wide open conference as the best general approach for the United States, in regard to summit meetings. Both the United States and Russia would agree to let each party discuss what they wish. The only danger of the Berlin situation, according to Mr. Metcalfe, is that a trigger happy incident might occur which would be extremely dangerous, for if a conflict started, war would not be confined to one area. Mr. Metcalfe also commented on the high rate of migration from East to West Germany. He said that if ever an unfortunate conflict between East and West Germany occurred, East Germany would crnmble overnight. In conclusion Mr. Metcalfe said that we cannot let down our front line in Germany, for if we do, there wjll be a stampede of governments running to Moscow for cover . ."Our life is at stake," he said, "and appeasement is only the road to destruction."

Tuesday's game was the second of the three-game playoff and gave the Recruits the flag after they soundly whipped the Blivets last Friday by a lopsided 21-4 margin. Ken Selody was the big gun in the series for the Recruits, with a total of eight hits in nine trips to the plate, including three home runs and a doubl e in Friday's game, good for eight runs batted in. In Tuesday's contest he went four-for-fiv e. Fred W i 11 i ams blasted a three-run homer in Friday's game and had three-for-four in the title contest. Dan Lewis had a perfect day at the plate for the Recruits on Tuesday in the clincher with three hits in three at-bats, to lead the 17-hit barrage by the Recruits. Scoring fast, the champs rang up six fast runs in the first inning and added four more in the second to ice the win quickly. For added measure, they tallied two runs in the third and two more in the fifth. The Rceruits thus concluded a most successful season, in which they romped to six straight wins for an undefeated performance. The closets threat came from their National League rivals, the Snafus, who lost a close 5-4 decision in the third contest of the season. Clem Gavenus pitched each of the Recruits' games for a perfect 6-0 season's record.

The Colonels got off to a good start and were in second place at the end of the first nine holes , but ran into tough luck in the back nine and finished fourth in a field of twelve. The Colonels were led by Bob Januszko with an 83 and Pete Perog with an 84. The four-man sq uad totaled 341 for the round. Lemoyne College retained their champion ship with a winning total of 324.

The Ithaca score was not turned in. Last Sunday and Monday saw the same four-man sq uad in action at the DuPont Louviers Country Club, the scene of the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference golf tournament. The Linksmen had a toug h time of it finishing 16th in the 19-team field with a team score of 735. The best individual score for the Colonels was Bob Januszko's 168 followed by Al Stralka's 181. Par for the 36-hole play was 140. First place was captured by Bucknell University with a score of 640 while defending champion Lehigh University finished second with a score of 656. First in the individual scoring was Bucknell's Bob Etzweiler with a 154 score. Teammate Bob Schad carded 159, good for fifth place.

A youthful Wilkes team will attempt to overpower the experienced squad of Juniata courtmen at 2 p.m. in Kirby Park. The Colonels are confident of a win because of valuable experience gained through six games played on foreign courts this year. Last Thursday the Colonels played the over-rated Susquehanna Crusaders, but lost, 6-3. Led by Dirk Dunlap and Paul Bleifer, the team showed their potential power but dropped the match, 6-3. In the singles Jim Swaback showed his best form of the season but dropped the set, 7-5, 6-4. Ira Himmel then lost a close set, 6-4, 10-8. Paul Bleifer turned the tables on the Crusaders when he defeated his man by the score of 6-4, 7-5. Dunlap followed with another win, 6-0, 4-6, 7-5. Bill Woll then lost a tight set, 4-6, 6-4, 9-7. Jack Thomas was outscored, 8-6, 6-4. In the doubl es, the combination of Dunlap and Bleifer proved decisive over their opponents, 6-2, 4-6, 9-7. The combinations of Himmel-Swaback and Thomas-Halperin were then edged in closely contested matches. On Tuesday the t eam was overpowered by the Ursinus Bears, 7-0. The doubles match of Himmel and Bleifer was rained out when the combination was winning, 4-3. The team got off to a poor start when Jim Swaback lost, 6-0, 6-0, to the Grizzlies' number one man.

Albright boasts a 5-i record as of last week, with victories over Gettysburg and Ursinus .. Fireballer Fred Dietzel is responsible for a majority of the Lions•· wins and has struck out 15 batters in one game and 12 in another.

Game time is 4 p.m. The Colonels will be out to make it two in a row over the Bears, having won, 3-2, last season. Rider Nips Colonels Last Saturday Wilkes came close to upsetting a highly confident Rider outfit but finally succumbed to the Broncs, 6-5. Rider jumped off to a three-run lead in the second inning on a walk, two singles and a base-clearing triple by second baseman Bob Heist. Wilkes came back with two runs in the third when Don Goobic singled, and scored on John Harvey's groundout. Rider scored two more runs in the fourt h and the Colnels matched them in their half of the inning. Ralph Hendershot led off with a single and Bobby Ontko r eached base on an error, both men advanced on a throwing error and J erry Lawrence slashed a single to bring home both runners. In the sixth, Hendershot hit a 430-foot double, advanced to third on a n infield hit by Ontko, and scored on a hit by Sam Zgarski. Wilkes threatened in the seventh, loading the bases with two out, but a runner was out at home attempting to score on a wild pitch. Goobic, Hendershot, Ontko, and Lawrence had two hits apiece for the Colonels. Monday the team went down to defeat at the hands of a powerful Ithaca nine in an abbreviated cont est, 10-2. The game was called at the end of 4 ½ innings because of rain. The Bombers unloaded 13 hits to put the game out of the Colonels' reach. Jerry Lawrence once again came throug h with two base hits. He has accomplished this feat in the last fiv e games, as did Paul Aquilino. One of Aquilino's hits was a double to drive in a run. John Harvey and Sam Zgarski collect ed the only other Wilkes hits.

The popular bandleader, under the impression that he was to appear at the Legion to play for a private party, walked in on over 100 people already assembled and waiting, with flashbulbs, brass ensemble to play a fanfare, and a gaily decorated banquet table. One of the key figures in planning the party, Miss Phyllis Clark, was also surprised to discover that she, too, had a seat of honor at the table and was honored with a going-away gift of a portable radio. Mr. John Detroy acted as toastmaster and devoted his remarks to reminiscences of his association with Mr. Moran.

Our job this year has been an almost easy one at times, the number of activities carried on through the year gave us something with . h f"ll h . . V-:h ic to i t ese pages. . We are grateful_ to all those individuals and groups who helped us by making news. Volume XXIII consisted of twenty-five six-page, two eightpage and one four-page papers, for a grand total of 170 pages for the year. These pages were put out by a few loyal and dependable staff members who wrote stories, typed and did the general leg-work that comes with the job. The reporters . on th e staff are sort o f !he _unsung heroes of the Beacon. Unlike many_ club_ and orgamzahon members, Beacon_ reporters work at their assignments each and every week. Theirs lS a constant challenge for which there is small reward. Their picture never can appear in the paper - it is unethical. If they are chairmen of an affair they play it down, probably through modesty. Because of the general lack of recognition they receive, we feel that some small credit is due them here; whether it be ethical or unethical ,we would like to thank and congratulate all the • . Beacon _reporters w ho have made Volume Twenty-th~ee possibl':· ~ithout them there would be no need for an editor or _an editonal staff because there would not have been any stones to edit. As a newspaper cannot function without reporters, neither can it·run wit~out an adviser. Mr. Francis J. Salley, the Beacon adviser, has been, in our opinion, a perfect adviser. He did not at any time forbid us to try some of our odd ideas, he always told us what he thought and let us make the decision. If we · h" d · h" h f l - d"d • went against 1s a vice, w ic we un ortunate_y i · at times, we always found out the hard way that he was nght. We thank Mr. Salley for letting us try our wings and we apologize for catching him off guard with our editorials every so often. After the stories are written and the paper is ready to go to press, the Schmidts step into the picture. Schmidt's Printery is Wilkes College'.s unofficial school of journalism, it is the place where every Beacon editor obtains a wealth of knowledge that no textbook could ever give or attempt to give. The Schmidts . h~ve alway~ outdone themselves when it. comes t'? the Beacon, witness the hme they stayed ~p ha}£ ~he ~ught rushing to put out the paper when the mechanical difficulties made us late. We would like to thank the Schmidts for the patience and understanding they have shown us this year and for the knowledge we have gained and will never forget. During the year, several faculty members have kept us on our toes by giving us gentle barbs, kind words and lots of constructive criticism. We appreciate the interest these faculty members have taken in the Beacon and we want to sa th nk Y a you to_those 01_1 the facul!y who help~d us _through the y~ar. Miss Sylvia Dworski, our long-time friend and adv1Ser, deserves more than the thanks we can give her here. Without Miss Dworski's help we would never have learned to accept responsibility and do the job entrusted to us. Jim Eidam, Dick Myers, and Peggy Salvatore also deserve sincere thank you's for the work they have done on this ,year's Beacon. Jim and Dick as assistant editors did more than their share of work writing headlines typing and doing two or three . . ' . , st~nes a wee~. Dick took on the hon~ share of work at the pnnt shop while we were student teaching and deserves much of the credit for having the paper on campus early Friday mornings. We cannot end the year without expressing our sincere thanks to Bill Zdancewicz, former Beacon reporter and now director of public relations. Bill's aid to us has been invaluable. He has opened the picture files and let us dig through for pietures many times during the year. Valuable tips for stories have . . . come from ~Ill an? his staff and on a fe':" occa_s1ons he has_ let us borrow his stones when we were late in getting the matenal. Our congratulations and thanks also go to Morgan Davis for doing such a fine job on the sports page this year. Morgan has proven himself to be a good editor; his coverage on the sporting events of the college has been more than adequate. Following Dick Myers into the sports editor position was a tough job for anyone, but Morgan proved his ability to do the job well. Looking ahead to next year we wish Dick and his staff all . ' . . . . the luck in th': worl~. We leave Wilkes with the feeling that the Beacon will be m good hands, and that many new and interesting things will fill the paper next year. Our thanks to every student, club and organization on campus for making this a banner year for the Beacon. -mjk WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including ietters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pultlication but those of the individuals. Dear Madamoiselle, the Editor: Since reading your note in a Bea~on of several w~eks ago concernmg your expectation of ~ letter from me, I have been trymg to think of what to say in such a letter. Usually one must be rather concerned about some problem befor_e he works up enou_gh steam to "'.r1~e a let!er to an ed~tor, and 111:Y difficulty_ is that this academic year, which draws to a close all too soon has been one unmarred by even' the least of irritations. My experience as advisor to the Class of Sixty-two, the honorable frosh, has been most pleasant. The Freshmen had all the breaks, no one_ crowded th~m out of the gymnasmm on meetmg days. They ~ad the ~est dates on the calendar w1t~out interference. The elect~d off1cers were on the Dean's List for the first semester. Their class meetings were sparkling examples of proper parliamentary procedure so that not once were the officers mixed up with illegal motions, etc. The pride which all of the stude?ts, not just the . majors . in sc1e~ce, have ta~en m ke~p!ng sta~k Hall as bright :1nd shmm~ as 1t was on the day 1t was ded1cated has been a constant joy. Cigarette butts neither litter the floor nor do footprints mar the walls. The biology majors have cleaned the table tops meticulously before leaving the laboratories. '.(Jsed paper towels have been placed m waste baskets carefully and the gentlemanl_y students have kept ~he wash basins in the lavatories sparkling. The dormitory students have sung the praises of the food they have been served. Oh, some have groused about eating too much but one cannot expect things to be too pei:£ect. But listen to this item w~1ch I learned_ as a member of the ~ibra~y Com~ittee. For th e first time m_ th e hiS t ory of th e college not a smgle book has been lost by the library. Imagine, a perfect record! Not one volume has disappeared from the open stacks. My students in Biology 100 last fall were especially· well prepared to use _the English language. Try as I might I was_unabl~ to find one st udent ~ho was weak m gramm~r or spellm? a nd consequent_!~ did not turn m any E for deficiency in the use of English. Not only were they articulate no one cut my classes. And such promptness! Every student was in his seat when the bell rang and their politeness in listening to my lectures with rapt att~ntion w8:s divine. Their penetrating questions rev~aled. an un_su~pected grasp of b~ological prmc1ples and I had practically to drive them from the room at the close of each period. I was fortunate enough to attend a few dances at which I noted tremendous social development. Every girl who_ w_ent to a dance found hersel~ wh1rh~g about the_ floor the entire evemng; not a smgle wall flower could I find. And the men were so gallant and such smooth dancers! How my heart swelled with pride when I saw our male students attired in white shirts, ties, and neatly pressed suits instead of sweaters, leather jackets, and sport shirts as has been the custom in the past. Thus it has been all year. I certainly hate to disappoint you, Madamois'elle, the Editor, but I just cannot think of a solitary item with which I am dissatisfied. I believe, if I have read your editorials correctly, that you share my feelings. If school spirit is at an alltime high, I frankly believe it is thus because the students have taken your editorials to heart and have pitched in with vim, vigor, and vitality so that success was inevitable. However, to be honest, I should confess that I have one little misgiving. I feel sorry for whoever (sic) must edit the Beacon next year. Since everything is so perfect, nothing remains to be done. How dull! Suspectfully remitted, CHAS. B. REIF by Richard J. Myers During the paat year, Wilkes student classes and organizations took an active interest in the comm.unity which supports the College, and em.barked on a program of charity drives which. in some measure, should show the citizens of Wyoming Valley that the students have an interest in the affairs of the area. Many of the projects were designed to supply funds directly to charitable organizations for distribution at the discretion of the recipient organizations, other projects were directly concerned with specific charities in mind. The Beacon has attempted to r ecap the year's charitable activities, and with the cooperation of the Public Relations Director-William Zdancewicz, has compiled the following report. If any organization has been slighted, it is a result of human failure, not through intentional oversight. In December, Theta Delta Rho held the first of three charity drives when it collected, repaired and donated toys and dolls to Captain William Ramage of the Salvation Army. Mary Homan, president of the sorority and chairman of the drive for repaired toys, made the presentation to the Salvation Army which then distributed the toys to needy children of Wyoming Valley. The sorority also held an •~Old Folks' Party" at the college for residents of the Sutton Home for Men and the Valley Old Ladies' Home. This Christmas party was held at McClintock Hall and was complete with entertainment, refreshments and gifts. Then in January, the sorority held a dance for the benefit of the local March of Dimes campaign. Attorney Charles Lemmond, Jr., was presented with $125, proceedi!I of the dance, for the Valley's campaign. Jaycees The Wilkes College Chapter of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce repeated its annual drive for gifts for the Retreat Hospital. Ira Himmel and John Rentschler were general cochairmen of the drive. Reginald Trzeskowski, Myron Suseck, and Himmel presented Dr. Claude H. Butler, superintendent of the hospital, with the gifts collected. The list of items shows an endless variety of donations, including: phonographs, records, books, magazines, lamps, clocks, tobacco, used clothing, and many other useful and needed items. Also, the Jaycees held a children's party for the South Branch YMCA at Christmas time. They entertained thirty children ranging in age from six to ten at the Commons. The children enjoyed candy, ice cream, and cartoons, and were treated to an appearance by J oily Old Saint Nick himself, and live entertainment by s i n g er s and dancing. Cue 'n' Curtain Cue 'n' Curtain, working with the Wilkes-,Barre Kiwanis . Club, presented a performance of Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun," with the proceeds going to the Wyoming Valley Council of Girl Scouts of America. Proceeds of the show, $3,500, were presented to the Kiwanis, who used the funds to provide improvements and repairs to Girl Scout Camp Onawandah, on the Susquehanna River near Tunkhannock, Pa. Freshman Class The Class of 1962 put on a spaghetti dinner for the benefit of the Undeprivileged Children of Wyoming Valley. General chairman for the dinner was Albert Kishel. Butler Hall Men of Butler Hall held a sports dance at their home for the benefit of the twelve families of the men who were lost in the tragic January 22 mine disaster at Port Griffith. General chairman of the dance was R. T. Mattioli, who reported a net profit of over $214 which was distributed to the twelve families. Econ Club The Economics Club sponsored an unusual, but highly successful drive for collecting eyeglasses, lenses, and frames in the "New Eyes for the Needy" project. Over 2,000 pairs of glasses or frames were collected and tui:ned over to,-the New Jersey charity which annually sends the collected items to needy people in this country and overseas. General chairman of the drive was Reginald Trzeskowski. Sophomore Class In one of the most hilarious events ever presented on campus, the sophomores sponsored a Faculty-Athlete game of basketball played on the backs of donkeys. About 1,600 people jammed the gym to witness the game and not one of them failed to get more than his money's worth of laughs. The class president, Gil Davis, presented $337.31 to Dr. Samuel Buckman, chairman of the General Hospital Building Fund Drive. Choruses Men and W omenof the two vo"°, ::· tary choruses combined for severaJ.,concerts for the benefit of building fund drives of local churches. Following their success in their first joint appearance at the Edwardsville Eisteddfod, the two groups presented concerts for Calvary Episcopal Church, City; Firwood Methodist Church, City; Dallas Methodist Church, Dallas; and the-;' First Methodist Church, Dunmore.' In addition, the Girls' Chorus entertained several times at the Sutton Home and the Old Ladies' Home. The Collegians, 30-voice male chorus, presented a full concert at Nanticoke High School in October. The Men's Club of the Nanticoke First English Baptist Church sponsored the concert, and the proceeds went to that organization's charity purposes. Juniors Last week's car-wash, hampered by bad weather, netted the sponsoring Junior class more than $60, which will be turned over to the Wyoming Valley Association for Mentally Retarded. Blood Drive Finally, Wilkes students donated nearly thirty pints of blood to the local Red Cross Blood Bank. This is a double purpose annual charity project, for the blood is used by the Valley residents and families of Wilkes students and faculty through the Red Cross Blood Bank program. a-· DAVE VANN ADVISER TO S. AFRICAN M.G.A., SPEAKING TOUR COVERS ENTIRE COUNTRY by Richard J. Myers Dave Vann, Wilkes '58, is currently attending Rhodes University at Grahamstown, Union of South Africa, under a scholarship awarded him by the Rotary International. Up to his old tricks, Vann is to organize, supervise, and act as adviser to a one-day Model General Assembly to be held by the National Union of South Africa College Students. The MGA will be held at the National conference of the organiza- tion at their July 6 meeting in Johannesburg. It will be the first ex p e r i enc e the South African students have had with a Model General Assembly, and more than half the colleges in South Africa will send delegates. Vann has been engaged in a busy round of speaking tours since his arrival in South Africa, recently completing a fi_v e-day speaking tour of Capetown, in which he made six speeches.

I �Wn.KES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, May 22~ 1959 TAKING OVER Stall Sportswriter Reviews Statistics by Dan Lewis While browsing through the results of the various athletic events of the school year, it was found that the accumulated .._ won and lost record of all the Colonel teams showed a 30 and 42 - slate. This record may not appear to be too impressive to some sports enthusiasts, but on the contrary, considering the ca~i~er of our opponents and the policy of the college not to subs1d1ze our athletes, we feel that the various players and teams have had a most commendable season and proven themselves very worthy opponents. Win and loss records never tell the entire story, just the final results. Hidden behind the final records are the close contests decided by one run or a touchdown, or a measly little foul shot. Grapplers Shine Once again the wrestling team proved to be the pride and joy of the Colonel followers as they finished their season undefeated and topped it off by repeating as Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference champions for the thil·d straight year. This year, again, the Colonel football team suffered from lack of personnel and numerous injuries, finishing with a win and loss record of 1 and 8. Here again the records fail to show the true ability of the players. Never has so much been done by so few in a losing cause. We feel that the footballers should be commended for their stellar defensive play and "never-say-die" spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. The soccer team seems to have finally come into its own finishing with a 7 and 3 record. This has been the most successful season for the hooters and we feel it is only a sample of what is to come. During homecoming weekend a remark was heard from an alumnus letterman to the effect that this year's team has really improved over past teams in that they can kick with both feet. Though made in jest, it only proves that this year's soccer team was probably the best ever to take the field in a Wilkes uniform. Next on the list for review is the basketball team. Though finishing with a fairly good 9 and 11 record, we feel that they could have had a winning record with the ald of a few breaks here and there. The individual ability was there in abundance but the lack of consistent team play helped to turn Lady Luck against the Colonels on many occasions. However, the future appears to be very bright because of the return of the entire squad. In its second year of competition after a layoff of some eight years or so, the swimming team did a fine job. Finishing with a 1-3 record with two meets cancelled, the splashers showed no lack of ability, but suffered quite a bit from lack of experience. This can only be eliminated by meeting more opponents, so we hope for a heavier schedule next year to enable the swimmers to gain the needed experience and put together a wellrounded team. Our records, incomplete at present, show that the Colonel baseball nine possesses a 5 and 8 record. We feel that the lack of a pitching staff is greatly responsible for the losing season. The diamondmen have shown their ability to hit and field well even though several of the starting nine are freshmen and inexperienced in collegiate play. Relatively new in Wilkes athletics, the golf and tennis teams improved steadily throughout their abbreviated seasons. Inclement weather and the lack of practice areas hampered both teams considerably, especially the tennis team, but did not detract from their fighting spirit. With this spirit and proven ability, we look for much better records from both teams next year. In closing may we express our thanks for the many entertaining and oft-times thrilling contests performed in the various sports arenas by the numerous Colonel athletes and say 'so-long and good luck' to the graduating seniors.

Open a FLEXIBLE CHARGE ACCOUNT �Baseball Team Meets Warriors Away Tomorrow by MORGAN R. DA VIS, Sports Editor Finals already! Wasn't it just the week before last that we were over in the Kingston Stadium watching the kickoff against Ithaca? Maybe we haven't suffered as much as we thought in getting out the "rag" commonly referred to in lighter moments as the Beacon. At least the suffering couldn't have been as painful as we had been in the habit of broadcasting to every pair of available ears unfortunate enough to be within listening distance. Since this is now the final editorial of the year, (and possibly of this young reporter's life) it might be appropriate to reminisce and get slightly maudlin in regards to journalistic feats and the varying amounts of prowess of athletic teams. However, since it was slightly next to impossible to miss the errors that cropped up on the Beacon sports pages in the past year we will concentrate on describing our good features - if any exist. Perhaps it hasn't been too obvious but in our own way we have tried to be as fair and impartial as we could possibly be. It is a rather difficult feat to sit in a judicial position and pass judgement on some of the finest athletes in Wilkes without becoming slightly prejudiced. In all sincerity we hope that we have offended only the smallest possible number of people. THANKS In all due respect to the people that have at least enjoyed a few column inches of the last 27 publications of the Beacon (excluding Lennie Dziedzic), we feel that the majority of the credit goes to Dick Myers for his ever faithful adherence to correct journalistic practices, Editor Marion Klawonn for her constant criticism and compliments in the correct places. Also in line for special awards for putting up with the antics of the Sports section of the Beacon are Bill Zdancewicz and JoAnne Yurchak, who embody the spirit of many indefatigable virtues. Next year's sports editor, Ray Yanchus, will need all the diplomacy he can command to regain the good graces of these most important people. Again placing credit where it belongs, we would like to thank Fred Jacoby, Dan Lewis, Dave Kline, and Jim Hennighan for their priceless assistance. The writing team of Jack Thomas and Carl Borr was invaluable. And last, but far from least, the printing industry has more than made an indelible impression on the Sports writing of this paper in the form of Pop, Leo, and Ed Schmidt, the Beacon's mechanical department at Schmidt's Printery. PREDICTIONS Since the only radical change on the sporting scene that may affect the foreseeable future is the rise of John Reese to the position of Athletic Director, we predict that there will be a new look in scheduling intercollegiate sports. Teams such as Scranton U. who have scheduled swimming events with Wilkes for the past five years and failed to show up, will be dropped from the schedule. Fledgling teams like the swimming and tennis teams will be matched with teams that are comparable in experience and size. This tremendous job of Athletic Director has long been a full-time duty at our expanding school, and the countless duties of George Ralston have divided his attention among at least two of his most important posts on campus. We wish both Dean Ralston and John Reese continued good luck and success in their separate duties.

Market St. VA 2-8220 by Ray Yanchus The Wilkes College baseball team ends its present campaign tomorrow at Stroudsburg, Pa., when it meets the East Stroudsburg State Teachers College Warriors. The Colonels will be seeking to finish on a happy note with a victory and trying to avenge last year's defeat at the hands of the Teachers. Mike Dydo will assume the mound duties for Wilkes with John Harvey behind the plate. This senior duo will be closing out its intercollegiate c a re e r after contributing four outstanding years of baseball thrills to the students of Wilkes College. Dydo has been an all-around performer for the Colonels for 4 seasons, playing first base, second base, the outfield, and, this season, handling most of the pitching chores was named the Beacon's "Athlete of the Year". Harvey has been the number one backstop for an equal number of years. He has provided the baseball teams with fine defensive play, besides constantly ranking high among the leading hitters and RBI men. Wednesday's Results A fighting Wilkes team got as hot as the 90 degree weather and came from behind in the ninth inning Wednesday to defeat the Ursinus Bears, 2-1. The Colonels trailed, 1-0, as a result of an Ursinus run in the fourth, wheri they quickly scored two runs in the last frame to pick up their fifth victory. In the ninth, Ralph Hendershot doubled with one out; pitcher Mike Dydo sent a scorching single to center with Hendershot first holding on at third but tallying when the throw home skipped off the catcher's mitt; Bobby Ontko then reached base on a fielder's choice; a walk loaded the bases. With the infield drawn in, first baseman Sam Zgarski drove a single down the third base line to score Dydo with the winning run. Mike Dydo, the Beacon's Athlete of the Year, went all the way for Wilkes, giving up one run, on six hits, while striking out nine and walking three. Wilkes totaled 11 hits for the contest with Jerry Lawrence producing three, Paul Aquilino two, Ralph Hendershot two, Dydo two, and Gene Matthews and Sam Zgarski one each. Lose to Albright Monday the team met defeat at the bats of a strong Albright team, 15-2. The Lions unloaded 15 hits, including three home runs for the victory. Wilkes was only able to get to Albright's Jack Wertz for five hits, one a homer by third sacker Bobby Ontko. The remaining four bingles went to Sam Zgarski, J. Matthews, John Delmore, and John Mattey. Lebanon Valley 7, Wilkes 4 Saturday, with backstop John Harvey on the mound, the Colonels were beaten by Lebanon Valley, 74. Harvey, who for four years has called signals, suddenly found himself pitching in the second inning, due to an injury to pitcher Pat Monaghan. Wilkes jumped off to a two-run lead in the second, on Mike Dydo's single, another hit by Bobby Ontko, an error, and a bingle by Pat Monaghan. Lebanon Valley tallied one run in their half of the frame and added four more in the third. The Colonels scored their final runs in the fifth, when shortstop Jerry Lawrence was safe on an error, Harvey doubled to score Lawrence, and centerfielder Ralph Hendershot singled to tally Harvey. Ontko and Dydo garnered two hits apiece for the Colonels.

Despite the cold, rainy weather, Torn ,Bolko got Moravian off to a fast start by defeating Bob Januszko, 3-0. Bolko was runner-up for the State public links crown last year. Jay Olexy and Pete Perog garnered the only individual wins for the Colonels. Olexy moved around the course in fine fashion to defeat his opponent by the shutout route, 3-0. ·Perog, in one of the closest matches of the day, defeated his opponent, 2½-½, in a corne-frombehind effort. After finishing the front nine one down, Pete turned on the steam on the back nine to finish two up and an 85 stroke total for the par 71 Bethlehem Municipal Club course. Ed Mikolaitis rounded out the scoring for the linksmen by managing ½ point from his Greyhound adversary. The Colonels finished the season with two wins and six losses. The results: ,.

Pitcher Buzz Flanagan limited Wilkes to two hits while striking out 15. The Wilkes hits were two singles by Jerry Lawrence and Sam Zgarski. Now it can be told : One of the best bits of coaching advice offered to a batter in a crucial situation was given to a Wilkes sticker this past campaign, when Coach Pinkowski yelled at a batter with the count three balls, two strikes, bases loaded, and the Colonels in dire need of some runs; "Take it, take it, but hit it if it's in there." End quote, end of column for this year. EMBASSY RESTAURANT 55-58 Public Square EXCELLENT FOOD Perfectly Served Moderately Priced by Fred Jacoby This semester's last issue of the 'Beacon' brings to the fore a steady athlete who has been chosen Athlete of the Week. Hot corner man Bob Ontko's defensive play has been an invaluable factor in the excellent Wilkes infield. Monday at Albright, Ontko p1·0~ vided almost all of the action for Wilke's. He not only made a few Bob Ontko spectacular plays while at third; but cracked out a home run when at bat. •Ontko has starred with the Blue and Gold all year. His steady dependable defensive play has taken many a hit from the opponents and his bat hammered out many hits for the Colonels. iBob has had two or more hits in more than a few games this spring and the Colonels know that a ball hit toward Ontko will be well played.

Results of the election are as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Ronald Kryznewski; Associate Editor, Cynthia Hagley; and Business Manager, H arvey Stam bl er. Editor Kryznewski is following a liberal arts program here at Wilkes, with a major in English. Miss Hagley, also an English major, will be a sophomore next year. Stambler, who is also moving up to the sophomore class, is similarly studying in a liberal arts field and majoring in English.

Three-Year Program Divided into Phases; Other Colleges Enter a by Fred Jacoby In order to meet the demand for qualified engineers, Wilkes College will initiate a four-year course in electrical engineering. Two graduate programs also scheduled to begin as soon as facilities are acquired, are the post-graduate courses leading to Having joined with Temple Uni- a masters degree in Physics and electrical engineering. versity, Wilkes College is now offerIn an interview with Dr. Farley ing an opportunity for all those holding a Bachelor's Degree to earn a Master's Degree in education under a three-year graduate program. The first class will be held on Saturday, October 3 at 12 noon in Stark Hall, Wilkes-College. The program consists of 18 semester hours of general education, six hours of professional education, and the last six hours will be designed to meet the special n eeds of the student. This general education program will be divided into three phases; the H um a n i t i e s, the Social Sciences, and the Natural Sciences. The first phase, Humanities, will start October 3. The instructors will be Dr. Robert L. Chapman, chairman, associate professor of Engli sh at Wilkes College; Dr. Dani el Gilbert, professor of hi tory at Moravian College ; and Dr. Francis J. Michelini, associate professor of biology at Wilkes College. The e instructors have been chosen because they represent three distinct viewpoints of the humanities. The course, "Changing Perspectives Within the Humanities," proposes to increase the student's awareness of the major concerns, the rival attitudes, and the significant tendencies and discoveries men have experienced in attempting to understand themselves, their relations to others, and the world in which they live. During the summer phase of the course, a symposium in education will be offered which will be centered around principles in psychology, anthropology, sociology and philosophy developed during the 1·ecent past as they suggest changes in school practices for all levels. This program was started at Temple University in 1955. Each participating college is under the direction of Temple University. Participating in the program are Albright College, Reading; Franklin and Marshall College, Lancast er ; Lebanon Valley College, Annville; Muhlenberg College, Allentown; Ursinus College, Collegeville; and Wilkes College. A different phase of the graduate study will be offered each year during the three-year program at the above-named colleges, to enable the students attending to complete their education at the college nearest to their present location. Officers Dick Myers is president of the group, and Dick Wileman is vicepresident. The positions of secretary, treasurer and librarian are held by Harry Owens, Maurice James and Robert Eike, respectively.

Agenda Sel Al Isl Meell•ngs it was learned that these innovations could be ready perhaps by September, 1960. One of the main reasons for this new program is the coming of a Radio Corporation of America plant to this area. Without these facilities the RCA corporation cannot acquire locally the trained m en necessary for its expansion. To assure the building of a plant in this area, it was necessary for RCA to be convinced that a supply of skilled men could be obtained in this area. RCA and Wilkes will work together in the technical training of these undergraduates and those who wish to advance further in these fields. Since men who are skilled in electronics are re.4.?ired, Wilkes will need equipment and a large building to h·ouse this eqtrl_pment. Classro.9m space for new ti,idents and t he new faculty membexs required to inst-rnct..-1;.hese ~~ students must be provided. A iJOSsibility exists that a new science building will be erected to fulfill this need, but this cannot be positively confirmed- as of this wi•iting. Valley Prosperity Seen The size of the plant that will be erected at Mountaintop will be sufficient to house a minimum of two thousand employees, and if labor-management relations are satisfactory, perhaps almost double that number will be employed eventuall y. The engineering department of this RCA branch will contain over one hundred men. This expansion is seen as the beginning of a new era in the history of Wyoming Valley and surrounding communities; an era in which a surplus of labor is unknown and prosperity is not "around the corner" but has arrived at last. r ;Major Issues ReviewedBudget, Homecoming, School Spirit Committee by Marilyn Krackenfels In the two Student Government meetings held since the opening of the fall semester, the budget, School Spirit Committee, and the comi ng Homecoming activities were among the items discussed. Dick Salus submitted the following report, showing a balance of $655 : $88 from the 1958-59 Extra-Curricular Activities Budget; Beacon $303.33; Cue 'n' Curtain $112.88; Debating Society $144.52; Dor mitories $3.20; Male Chorus $3.04; Manuscript $8.77; Amnicola $263.18; Inter-Collegiate Conference Fund $112.15; Student Activities $30.26; Women's Chorus $.91; Contingency Fund $200.00; E.C.A. Budget $655.88. It was decided that this balance be presented in the form of four $162.50 scholarships to Wilkes upperclassmen on t he basis of need, promise of success at Wilkes, and l eadership record. Forms for applicants will be available in the Student Government office for approximately two weeks. Dick Salus and his committee comprised of Bill Davis, Rhea Politis and John Hosage, will narrow the field of applicants down to eight. The selection of the final four people will 'be made by Dean Cole and Dean Ralston. Jim Stephens was appointed chairman of the School Spirit Committee, with Doris Gademan as cochairman. The first item on the School Spirit Committee agenda is the Homecoming Bonfire slated for October 3. The Freshman Class will assist in this project, and Steve Robertson, a member of the freshman class, has been appointed chairman. Cow bells are being purchased by the Committee to be distributed at all Wilkes footba ll games. A special cheering session, roped off in cr epe paper, is hoped to foster spirit among both freshmen and upperclassmen. F lash cards, to be lettered by TDR, will also be used at the games. At present plans are in progress for a modified buffet- style dinner dance to be held for undergraduates at the gymnasium as a climax to Homecoming Weekend. A committee headed by Gwen Gould is in the process of planning the affair. A special Student Government meeting will be held next Tuesday to discuss Homecoming activities. Student leaders are welcome. AMNICOLA SEEKS EDITOR Mr. Catha! O'Toole has announced that he is accepting applications for positions on the staff of the Amnicola, the annual College yearbook publication. The two positions open are those of editor-in-chief and art editor. All applications should be submitted to Mr. O'Toole as soon as possible. His office is now located on the second floor of Conyngham Annex. NOTICE .... The Biology Club, one of the largest and most active groups on campus, is planning its first event on the a ctivities cal endar, "The Campus Capers," a sport dance to be held on Friday, October 12. Louise Gatto is general chairman of the dance. All members are urged to volunteer cooperation in the presentation of this affair. 5200~ �2 Friday, September 25, 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 11111 II I II I 111111111111111 JI I 1111111111111111111 EDITORIALS -· In Memoriam During the summer Wilkes suffered a· great personal loss when Gilbert S. McClintock, Chairman of the Board of T~tees, died following a heart attack. Attorney McClintock was one of the small group of Valley citizens responsible for the existence of this college as a four. year institution. He held positions of importance on every major committee of local interest in the Wyoming Valley area and the list of these is so vast that the imagination boggles. Lawyer, author, historian, philanthropist, cultural leader-he was alJ, of these and more: but to those of us at Wilkes, he bore the most revered title of all-friend. To his memory we humbly dedicate these pages. Let's Be Reasonable _Thanks to the Class of 1959, a shiny new bulletin board now services the campus. No more-we hope-will we read of Christmas parties six months later, or books for sale when it's time for_ 9:ad~ation. There is ample room for every organization to publicize itself and its activities without the need to crowd other notices out of sight. However, perhaps some general information about the use of this board would be useful. From our sources of information we have learned that students will be allowed a limited amount of freedom in the use of bulletin space. General notices must be placed only where they belong, not with notices classed under "Student Government," "Placement," or other sections of the board. Locks will be removed around nine in the morning and replaced at five in the afternoon. Anyone wishing to place notices thereon outside of these hours is requested to deposit the information in the student mailroom, in the box marked "BULLETIN BOARD NOTICES." Someone from the Public Relations Office will pick these up and place them on the bulletin board when it is opened in the morning. It is emphasized, however, that these notices are for the bulletin board. Notices to be added to P.R.O.'s "College Bulletin" must still be delivered to the third floor of Chase Hall as in previous years. If students abuse the privilege of free use of this bulletin board, we have been assured that steps will be taken to keep order and neatness even if it means placing the responsibility for posting notices into the hands of one solitary organization or individual. F¢her, those who do post notices are advised-and urgedto reme-ve same as soon as they are no longer applicable. PostID'S; should not exceed dimensions of 8x l O inches for obvious reasons. The 'Beacon' Grows For a change, the usual first-issue plea for help in the Beacon office is to be tempered considerably. We were gratified to be greeted by nearly twenty aspiring reporters at the Monday night meeting, and assurances of aid from another dozen or so who will be working for the paper in the next week or two. The response from the freshman class has been particularly encouraging. Seventeen people indicated on the forms provided by the Student Leaders that they wished to work on the staff and most of these have already visited the offices for assignments. Those who have not done so will be contacted by us directly within a week. For the first time in the memory of old-time Beacon hands, more reporters than assignments were in the offices of the newspaper this week. We wouldn't want this fact to discourage others, however. The Beacon provides a working knowledge of practical journalism through the experimental attempts of a group of amateurs who acquire that knowledge through the age-old "trial and error" school. It's great fun, good experience, broadens one's knowledge of campus personalities and activities, and may well lead to the discovery of a future Pulitzer Prize winner. There is plenty of work for plenty of people.

Count Almaviva is in love with Rosina. However, Rosina's guardian has his own designs on his ward. Figaro, a barber and meddling busy-body resolves to aid the Count wed Rosina. Of course, grand confusion with the police, lovers' quarrels and mixed indentities, plus the dubious help of Figaro do not pave an easy road for the Count.

NEXT ASSEMBLY WILKES COLLEGE BEACON �Friday, September 25, 1959 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Colonels Open Against Dutchmen ILockeroom Chatter I By RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor Another semester is here. another football season is about to open, another college newspaper ts being put to press, and another new sports editor is attempting t o get over the opening hurdles and go home for food and sleep. Kng Football is here and will be with us from the high school, college, and pro viewpoi nts, up to the 'Bowl' games of January 1, and further on to the 'Pro Bowl' sometime in the middle of that month. There's no getting away from it. It'll scream out at you every Saturday and Sunday from the radio and TV. Sunday sports headlines will glorify it to t he point where you ma y not be able to find the score of your favorite baseball t eam as they come down the wire, battling for the pennant. If you look real close, a one inch spread will probably be given to yo ur "one and only's" on the bottom of page five. Good Hunting. When football reigns, it reigns. It dictates like Khrushchev. So, accept the fact, try to live with it, and it'll be go ne in fo ur short months. Football also r eturns to Wilkes with the Colonels opening the campaign tomorrow against a strong Lebanon Valley aggregation. If you are expecting t o follow this column and read some Monday morning quarterbacking talk, stop right here. I'm in the fortunate position of also being the Saturday afternoon QB, a nd I don't intend to cut off my own head even if that wo uld get rid of twenty pounds of ugly fat. This colum n will concern itself mainly with w hat the column indicat es, lockerrom chatter. This is brought about by the fact that I spend a little time in lockerrooms and may be able to present some sidelights and item s that never reach the student body. (With the coaches' approval, of course.) Speaking of coaches, congratulations are in order to Mr. Pinkowski on his recent marriage to Wilkes coed Mary Lou Bender. Coach Pinkowski, a confirmed bachelor until he suggested bringing dates to last year's football party, entangled alliances with Mary Lou in late August. Quoted on the first month of ma rried life, "Pinky" said, "Love those hot, home-cooked meals." The marriage bug seem s to have searched into the student body, too.

George was annexed by Misericordia graduate Marge Smith, whil e Clem went strolling with Wilkes coed Judy Wa rnick .

Danforth Fellow Applications Available at Placement Office r Jaycees Plan Dinner - Meeting C'n'C Drama Schedule Reveals Three-Phases I �wn.n:s COIJ.EGE BEACON 2 Dirk Budd, Happy Birthday! Looks like the little birdie who keeps us up to date on James Bohning campus doings failed to leave his nest last week. We overJoin Faculty looked the birthday of our President, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. The birthday was Tuesday and our "birdie" dropped the EDITORIALS - nugget of information that evening while the Beacon staff was in the process of preparing this week's issue. Let us hasten to correct this unintentional oversight; permit us to extend our heartiest best wishes to the "Great White Father." For over two decades, Dr. Farley has been the guiding hand of the College in its progress from a rented-office junior college to its present position of one of the most highly regarded small Liberal Arts colleges in the country. The entire Beacon staff joins the students, faculty and administration in the sincere hope for many more happy, fruitful and productive years for a devoted community leader. Stop, Look, Listen On the same day we discovered the above intelligence, we were disturbed to notice that an old problem has reared its ugly head once more. After Tuesday's superb assembly program, the hungry crowd surged into South Franklin Street with careless abandon, nearly upended a somewhat non-plussed traffic policeman, and, blithely risking life and limb, blocked cars and pedestrians, ignored red lights, in general made the area a somewhat dangerous place to be found. Anyone not wishing to walk the sidewalks in the general direction of the Commons was hard put to make his way against the stampede. We realize fully that there was no deliberate malice motivating that mob scene, but feel strongly that a little common sense and common courtesy can make the lot of our neighbors a somewhat happier one. Besides the obvious discourtesy this behavior reveals, there is a factor of safety to be considered. As motorists, most of us have been in situations where pedestrians have interfered with our right of way. Then, with annoyance and chagrin, we have stewed and fretted while allowing the obstruction to run its course. There is little doubt that the motorists on Franklin Street Tuesday morning experienced the same frustration. Students, particularly those who drive, would do well to remember that when they leave their cars they become pedestrians themselves and should extenc:l to drivers the same considerations they expect when driving. To quote a well-worn phrase, "Safety costs nothing; use it freely." What Is a Newspaper? Somewhere around the beginning of the school year, it would be advisable for an organization such as this paper to make a general statement of its intentions and its policy. Perhaps our aims can be summed up best by answering the question: What is a newspaper? We have borrowed the answer from some now-forgotten source, not our own original writing, but adequate for our purposes: A newspaper is a disseminator of happenings, an advertising medium for businesses. It is both of these, plus a number of things; but above all it is a free voice. People may disagree as to what a paper should do, but most will agree that a paper must be free . No one denies that ,freedom can be abused; nevertheless, freedom must be qualified, when necessary, by truth, decency and high ideals. In the pursuit of noble goals we are not infallible. When commenting editorially we believe we are right. And because we are free to voice our opinions, this same freedom which applies also to our readers, who are always free to arrive at their own opinions. Journalistic freedom on the campus means a newspaper with an opinion, a living newspaper. Not a tool for a few, but a mirror for all; an independent voice reaching out to everyone. When we fail to achieve these goals, it is the right and duty of our readers to tell us so. We expect no praise and welcome criticism. We know no other way to improve ourselves. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... New Instructors Are Added to Chem, English Deparhnents i................................... Friday, October 2, 1959 The Campus Observer ! Last week, dormitory students, the campus, and the college in general were aroused from sleep when an automobile going down South Riv er Street collided with two student-owned vehicles pa1,ked on that thoroughfare. Extensive damage was caus ed to all three of the vehicles. Students flocked to the scene, which was directly across from Butler Hall. A telephone call was made to the police, who dispatched a cruiser to in vesti r:ate. At the time of its arrival, a crowd had formed on both by Doug Keating sides of the street.

The cost of the course for nonmembers is $6.50. Members need only pay for the text book, which is 50 cents and for a badge, if they wish, for 60 cents. In order to qualify for the course one must be 17 years of age and be able to swim 50 yards of the side, breast, elementary back, and crawl strokes. The course will consist of learning the regular life saving rescue routines and defensive tactics plus 6 different methods of artificial respiration. At the end of the course a water and written test will be held to verify the qualification of the aJJplicants. This course is not sponsored by the American Red Cross but is under the authoriZation of the Y.M.C.A. and is fully recognized in aquatic circles. Tony Thomas, aquatic instructor of the Y.M.C.A., and his assistant, Dick Bradshaw, will conduct the course. Any further questions may be directed to them.

Sanlayana and Dewey Biographies Will Be Published Oclober 20th On the centennial anniversary of Prof. John Dewey's birth, Oct. 20, there will be published an unusual treatment of his life ond work in "Dialogue on John Dewey," to be released by Horizon Press, New York. A companion volume, " Dialogue on 'George Santayana," will appear the same day. Both books in this series of dialogues on modem philosophers are edited by Dr. Corliss Lamont of Columbia University. The two books contain transcriptions of tape-recorded personal conversations about the g reat phiIosophers by their intimate fri ends and colleagues. The participants in the spirited discussion on Professor Dewey, whose views are still the subject of passionate controversy, are: Professors Jam es Gutmann, Ernest Nagel, John H. Randall, Jr., Herbert W . Schneider and Mr. Milton Halsey Thomas, all of Columbia University; Prof. Horace M. Kallen of the New School for Social Research and Dr. Alvin Johnson, director emeritus of the N ew School; Dr. Harry W. Laidler, director emeritus of the League for Industrial Democracy; Dr. Harold Taylor, president of Sarah Lawrence College ; Mr. James T. Farrell, author; and Dr. Lamont. Participants in the dialogue on Santayana include Professors Gutn ann, Kallen, Nagel, Randall, Schneider, Dr. Lamont; and Prof. Milton Munitz of New York University. Professor Kallen, who was for years assistant to Santa.yana, leads this discussion which contains many revealing sidelights on the complex personality whose literary essays and philosophical works have now becom e established as classics.

Stark Elected Chairman of Board of Trustees Early Pioneer Of College Honored Contributed Much to Growth, Science Building Bears His Name Adm. Harold R. Stark Undergraduate dinner-dance Saturday evening. This year, as always, the queen and her court will be awarded numerous gifts. The Alumni Association and the Student Government will present the queen with gifts and gift certificates; and the Beacon will present mementos of the occasion to the queen a nd her princesses. Student Government Auditors lo Scan Organizational Requests for Financial Aid by Cynthia Hagley The Student Government will review all budget requests at next Monday's meeting. So far, all organizations except one, have handed in their requests for 195960. The total at Beacon press time is $9,815.55 requested, with an administration grant of $13,600. This does not include the Amnicola, whose budget request will approximate $4000 to $4500. Monday night's meeting will be held on the second floor of the Bookstore in the Student Government Office. The heads of each organization have s,pecific Friday, October 16, 1959 time limits assigned to them. They are as follows: Organization Time Beacon 4:00 Male Chorus 4:20 Cue 'n' Curtain 4:30 Women's Chorus 4:50 Manuscript 5 :10 Dormitories 5:30 Deabting Society 5 :50 Amnicola 6:10 Intercollegiate Conference Fund Student Activities Contingency Fund Request $3081.50 100.00 1577.05 100.00 1200.00 387.00 850.00 750.00 1570.00 200.00 by Stephen Cooney Admiral Harold R. Stark was elected chairman of the board of trustees at a regular meeting of the board held in Parrish Hall. Admiral Stark has been associated with Wilkes since 19'3'7, at which time he and Mrs. Stark donated their former home at 184 South River Street to the college. The home was named Chase Hall at the r equest of the Admiral as a memorial to Fred M. Chase and his wife, Admiral Stark's sister. Admiral Stark is the former Chief of Naval Operations and Commander of European Naval Forces during World War II. In his European naval capacity during World War II he played a vital role in the events which led to the final victory in Europe, and for his service, he was a w a r d e d two Distinguished Service Medals, one each for the Army and Navy. In 1956 friends of Admiral Stark donated the necessary funds to the college for the erection of the new science hall and suggested that this building be named in honor of Admiral Stark. The new Admiral Stark Science Hall has greatly improved the college's facilities, and it is significant that without the erection of this modern building, the college would have been unable to make commitments required to bring Radio Corporation of America to Wilkes-Barre. Admiral Stark follows in the footsteps of the late Gilbert S. McClintock who had served as board chairman until his <lea.th recently. Admiral Stark has been a member of the college board of trustees since 1949, and was born and raised in the city of Wilkes-Barre. He has always maintained strong ties with Wil<kes~Barre, even throughout his varied and extended service career. 100 %. The press comes from the cradle of modem printing, Germany. One of the results of the miraculous recovery of that defeated nation has been an upswing in industrial output. This modem printing giant from overseas will be a welcome addition to the Beacon's plans for greater papers, better journalistic principles, and a strict adherence to the quest for constant selfimprovement. Cause of the magazine style this week was the shift from the old press to the new. The old one is now completely dismantled and on its way to its metallic graveyard. The new one is being assembled under the direct supervision of German workmen from the manufacturer. A certain amount of trouble was expected and encountered. In ironing out the "bugs," unavoidable delays in assembly forced the Beacon to seek aid from a smaller press, capable only of handling pages such as make up this week's edition. We hope that the students will bear with us in this brief transitional period. Although the casual observer, in all probability, will not notice the difference, we can assure our readers that the speedier, more efficient service will result in other improvements perhaps more noticeable. When the modernization is complete, the Schmidts \ l Friday, October 16, 1959 plan an open-house celebration. At that time, we would be pleased to see our readers drop in to get some idea of the methods used in printing the Beacon. Your Newspaper ... Freedom's Textbook The 20th annual observance of National Newspaper Week takes place this year from October 15-21. The theme of the observance is as the above headline indicates, the role of newspapers in safeguarding Freedom. While the humble efforts of your campus newspaper may fall far short of professional standards, a newspaper, regardless of its size or importance or influence, is echoing the ringing phrases of one of history's most stirring documents, commonly called the "Bill of Rights." Observe your favorite papers closely. Read them well. The news reports are as factual and objective as human beings with human failings can make them. Special writers and columnists offer a variety of viewpoints on subjects universal in scope. Look for the emblem of National Newspaper Week. Designed by Nick Ruggieri, staff artist of the Harrisburg, Pa. Patriot-News, it portrays the theme with the design of an open textbook and a hand bearing a rolled newspaper in the form of a freedom torch. Let that light shine through the rolled pages and illumine your thoughts. Become aware of your surroundings and the day-to-day happenings in the world which affect your life directly or indirectly. Being educated goes further than gleaning facts, dull and dry, from musty texts. Education demands a rounded person; education means more than simply learning. Being informed is vital, let Freedom's Textbook help you. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The Campus Observer The Observer received a letter last Tuesday containing some excellent ideas and views on Initiation. The letter could not be printed. It was unsigned, except for the words "A Disappointed Upperclassman." Unsigned letters cannot be printed, although name will be withheld on request. Several pointed questions were asked concerning Initiation, such as: Who has the final say on the matter ... the student government? The upperclassmen, for the most part, were left in the dark! The announcement Friday night that Initiation was over startled most of the student body. What pressures were exerted, and by whom, to cause such an unscheduled and sudden ending to the Initiation program? The student body in genera.I and the ·Observer in •p articular would like answers to these questions. Open Letter Open letter to C. Eugene Stickler, President Barre Hall: Not wishing to continue this difference of opinion indefinitely, you will find here- in a short statement in answer to your letter. In the second paragraph, you mention "fraternalism and spirit" as an attribute of Barre Hall. Fraternalism and s,pirit should be standard procedure in all dorms. They are not standard procedure; thus the lack of school spirit. If Barre Hall is all you say it is, The Observer congratulates you, but that's a -big "if." As the saying goes, "seeing is believing." Another Open Letter Open letter to Dave Roebuck, Secretary, Butler Hall: For your information, The Observer did make a few sensible suggestions as to what the Initiation program should be like. In your last paragraph, you state " . . . infantile displays, with a few exceptions, are within bounds." It was these few exceptions that were important. The Observer made a point of them because they were the exceptions, not the rule. 1 A Sentence Carried Out! Freshmen and many other students were surprised last Friday night at the United Fund Dance when Ira Himmel carried out his "sentence." Himmel had been told to learn to play a musical instrument, which he would play at the dance. Himmel, who has played the banjo for several years, was well prepared. The freshmen somehow got wind of his ability on the banjo, and tried to "doublecross' the upperclassmen by presenting Himmel with a clarinet. Unknown to the fr eshmen, he has played the clarinet for nine yea.rs. Moral: You can't outsmart an upperclassman. Sign Those Letters All letters addressed to this column will be printed the week they are received, and answered the following week in this column.

I wish to emphasize that it is Wilkes College, not Mr. Reif, which will meet its goal. And, as you know, thirty-eight hundred and fifty dollars is the quota assigned Wilkes College as its share of the amount to be raised by the Private Schools Section of the Public Service Division in the 1960 United Fund Campaign. Contributions on campus are credited to !our groups·: administration, faculty, mamtenance, and students. Nearly everyone in the first three groups has given generously. Now we expect a good showing from the students who can raise fifteen hundred dollars easily if all the classes do as well as the Freshman Class has done thus far. Outside of education which is, of course, the principal goal of Wilkes College, the annual United Fund Campaign is the only all-college function in which everyone on campus can and does pa,r ticipate. Mr. Jervis' maintenance workers, the administration (including all of those wonderful office workers), each member of the faculty, and, I hope, every single student at Wilkes College - all make possible the attainment of our common goal. As I see it, each of us in giving freely to the /United Fund is demonstrating a loyalty without which we would be much the poorer. By contributing we express loyalty to the Wyoming Valley community, to Wilkes College, and to our personal a-spiration of being educated men and women as expressed by Point Eight in the Marks of an Educated Man. Thus to me the attainment of our goal in a United Fund Campaign is one of the grandest expressions of school spirit possible. Even though promoting the United Fund on campus r equires much time on my part, I _am always gratified to be able to say at the final repo1t meeting of the campaign that Wilkes College has "gone over the top." Thus I wish to thank everyone on campus for his share in what I am now sure will be a successful drive this year. Res•p ectfully, Chas B. Reif HOMECOMING DISPLAYS Allyn Jones, chairman of the Homecoming Displays committee, urges all clubs and organizations to construct a display for Homecoming. Information concerning theme, rules, and limitations on the displays can be found in last week's 'Beacon'. Any organization planning to create decorations are asked to be sure to notify Jones before Wednesday, October 21. Frosh Contributions Lead As Student Gifts Hit 27 % by Gloria Zaludek Wilkes College students are shifting into high gear in order to reach the goal set for the United Fund Campaign of Luzerne County. The student contributions now total $402. This is approximately 27 per cent of the announced student quota of $1500. The Freshmen made the initial class contribution of $152 - the profit from the Freshman-sponsored United Fund dance held last Friday evening in the gym. Donations from the Chemistry and History Clubs and individual contributions, have been received. However, this years returns are below the amount received at this. time last year. As announced, various class committees were organized to collect individual donations from day students. Chairmen of these committees are: John Mulhall senior class president; Gilbert Davis' junior class president; and Murray Da,vis: sophomore class treasurer. The Freshman Advisory Committee has appointed a committee for freshman collections, and dormitory students will aid t_he United Fund through Allyn Jones, president of the Inter-Dormitory Council. On October 28, Dr. Reif, director of the 1960 United Fund Campaign at Wilkes, will attend the U.F. dinner where he will deliver the final report on the success of the campus drive. Ex-'Beacon' Editor Queries Gov. Lawrence Thomas I. Myers, Wilkes '58, was among a group of journalism students from the Pennsylvania State University who met with Governor David Lawrence and enjoyed a .p ress conference as part of their training in the Penn State School of Journalism. Myers, a former Editor-in-Chief and business manager of the Beacon, questioned the Governor on two points. He asked about tuition costs and their effects on married students in pa1ticular and about the Governor's budget allocation for the University in view of the universally accepted inadvisability of low faculty salaries. Myers is in his final phases of work toward a Master's degree in Journalism. He lives in Pleasant Gap, Pa., a suburb of State College, wi,th his wife, the former .Shirley Baroody, Wilkes '59. The couple has a child, Thomas, Jr., one year old next week. Band to Accompany Team On Collegeville Journey As Morale-Builders by Pat Rossi Yes, the band will be at the Wilkes College - Ursinus football game this Saturday afternoon at 2:00! Mr. Larry Weed, the band members, all of their instruments and music, and the cheerleaders will be transported to Collegeville, Pennsylvania, by -t wo big 3·7 passenger_ busses. Ursinus will be celebrating then· hom ecoming this weekend when they play host to Wilkes. The band usually employs a car caravan to ,g o to all of the games within a 60-mile radius. But for all games beyond the 60-mil e radius, an allotment is made in the budget to cover the bus trip and an evening meal for the band members and cheerleaders. School s,pirit certainly picks up when the band is around as .p roved by the exceptional spirit at the two games and three pep rallies at which the band performed. They will be at Friday's pep rally and at the rest of the games. As Jong as the team plays, the band will be there to ,play and to back them! Wilkes Graduate Earns Commission Ensign Samuel T. Buckman, Wilkes '58, was among 126 ensigns graduated from the Coast Guard Officer Candidate School at New London, Connecticut, last summer. While attending offic~r training school the newly commissioned ensign was trained in theory and practical aspects of navigation, seamanship, gunnery, communications, law enforcement, and administration. His firs,t assignment as a Coast Guard Officer was aboard the CGC Ingham out of Norfolk, Virginia. A member of the class of '58, Ensign Buckman was graduated with an A.B. in Sociology. While at Wilkes he was president of the Psych-Soc Club and a member of the Education Club. (Editor's Note:-Ensign Buckman is the fiance of senior elementary major Joan Llewellyn, who was Homecoming princess in her sophomore year. "Form.al Wem" RENTAL Special Price to Students BAUM'S 198 S. Washington St. 4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 16, 1959 Women Voters' League Will Exhibit Election Aids Dean of Women, Librarian/ Retailer, Among New Members of Faculty The League of Women Voters of Wilkes-Barre once more plan to display election information for the enlightenm ent of Wilkes students on election procedures. The display, as last year, will be in the Commons on Tuesday, October 27, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. League members will -b e present at the display to distribute the League's Voter's Guide, to answer questions about the issues of the coming elections, or about voting procedures. The Guide contains information supplied by the candidates themselves and will be useful in aiding new voters in the student body -to decide which candidates will receive their first votes . As college enrollments swell everywhere, more students than ever before are coming of age during their college careers. As a group they are probably the best informed on government and public affairs of any new voters added to the rolls. This makes offering information on voting and issues to college students a similar operation to carrying coals to New Castle. The League realizes, however, that no-t all potential voters register as soon as they are qualified, or begin promptly to exercise that most precious birthday gift of their adult lives, the right to vote. A voter becomes of age on the day BEFORE his twenty-first birthday. The registration commission of the County boards of election may register any person whose birthday falls on the day after any election or prior thereto during the regular registration period, provided the elector is otherwise qualified. Students are urged to take note of this display and to use the guides provided by the League. The League, a non-partisan organization, is interest ed in seeing that the voters of the Valley are as fully informed of the candidates and the issues as possible. The L eague is not concerned -..vith how or for whom the individual votes, but whether or not he does vote. This is the fourth in a series of articles about the new instructors at Wilkes. The purpose of these articles is to acquaint the students with these instructors and their backgrounds. SOPHOMORE CLASS MEETING The Sophomore Class will hold a class meeting Monday at noon in the Jewish Community Center for the purpose of discussing plans for the Class dance to be held on November 6. All class members are urged to be present. LOST - PAIR OF GLASSES A pair of girl's glasses were lost in the vicinity of Gies Hall. If found, the owner will pay a reward for their return.

The Student Government has answered the undergraduate's prayer for a student activity to conclude the Homecoming weekend and is sponsoring an •;Undergraduate Dinner-Dance" Saturday, October 24, in the gymnasium. All undergraduates - this means seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen - are cordially invited to attend this affair. However, seniors have received a dual invitation to attend either the student dinner-dance or the Alumni Homecoming semi-formal dance which will be held at the !rem Temple Country Club that evening. According to John Mattey, general chairman of the affair, an unusual, interesting evening has been planned. Among the many features will -be the appearance of the Homecoming queen and her court, a dinner which will delight the hearts of all Wilkes ,g ourmets, the swing and dream music of Herbie Greene, and an old-fashioned songfest. Decorations will revolve arc).md the central theme of Homecoming and autumn. Table centerpieces and decorations will be designed and manufactured by the TDR girls, under the direction of Bernardine Zapatowski and Beverly Butler. The senior class, which is sponsoring a dance the previous evening, has graciously offered its decorations to enhance the gymnasium. Paul Klein and Betsy Hoeschele, ticket co-chairmen, ha,ve announced that tickets are being offered at the nominal price of ~ '.00 per couple - a bargain price in any man's language. Committee chairmen are: Dick Salus, finance; Gwen Gould, food; Rhea Politis, music; Paul Klein and Betsy Hoeschele, ticket; John Mulhall, program; Beverly 'B utler and Bernardine Zapotowski, decorations; Mike Armstrong, arrangements. including the Audubon Society and the Mental Health Association at Washington plus many other organizations. Mr. James L. Eidam, the instruotorlibrarian, is not really new to Wilkes at all. He received his B.S. in Secondary Education here. Last year he was Feature Editor of the Beacon and a member of the Manuscript staff. During the summer, Mr. Eidam began studying at Columbia University for his M.L.S. In addition to his work at Wilkes library, he plays the organ at Christ Lutheran Church. Formerly a native of Hazelton, he now resides on South River Street, Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Frederick Flower, an instructor in the Retailing Department, is a fo=er native of Philadelphia. He received his B.S. degree from Grove City College, Pennsylvania and his M.S. degree from the School of Retailing, University of Pittsburgh. Before coming to Wilkes he held a position as assistant ,b uyer at John Wanamaker's, Philadelphia. He is a member of the Eta Ma Pi, a retailing fraternity. His residence in Wilkes-Barre is at Hollenback Hall where he is the proctor of this boys' dormitory. Hazing Grinds to Halt After Himmel Fiddles by Marilyn ,K rackenfels Last Friday at the United Fund Dance, the upperclassmen affiliated with freshman hazing carr.ied out the sentences handed them by the frosh a.t last week's "turn-about" tribunal. Judge Ira Himmel, sentenced to master a musical instrument within twenty-four hours, displayed talent heretofore unknown before the large crowd. He gave creditable r enditions on both clarinet and banjo. Bob King, an executioner on the ,t ribunal, accompanied Himmel on the bongo drums. Steve Cooney, prosecuting attorney; Bill Roots, defense attorney; Bob Washburn, co-chairman of the hazing program, and several other upperclassmen campus leaders entertained the audience with two vocal selections, a .p arody on "Sweet Violets" and "On Top of Old Smokey." The big surprise of the evening, saved for the last item on the intermission agenda, was Gordon Roberts' annoncem ent that hazing was officially ended. However - and Roberts placed great stress on the word "however" - dorm hazing was decreed to be still in force, including the infamous "Hell Night." �Friday, October 16, 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Wesleyan University Unveils Plan For Giving Courses Without Grades by Steve Cooney Courses without a grading system is no longer a dream of the future, but a reality. Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut has adopted a system of gradeless crediting on a limited basis to junior and senior classes. The "course without grade" system was first proposed to the administration by the student curriculum committee, which decided to give it a one-year trial beginning this fall. Under the plan, each junior and senior, as a part of his regular quota of courses, is permitted to elect each semester one course for which he will be granted the usual academic credit, but without an official grade on his record. This has often been confused with the 5 credit-audit system, but under the audit syst em the records indicate that the course was only audited. Under the new plan the stud ent is given regular credit. If the student fails to achieve a minimum standing of performance sufficient for cred it, the student would receive no credit for the co urse. All that is necessary to m eet the r eq uirements is that the student p erform the work and otherwise fulfill all the r egular requirem ents of the course to the satisfaction of the instructor. The main advantage of the new syst em is a better outlook on the values of a college education. Students may concentrate fully on gaining a well rounded education, instead of concentrating their time on achieving grades. Car Competition Set In Homecoming Parade Preceding the Homecoming game with Lycoming, the students will parade in a car caravan from the campus to Kingston Stadium. The ,parade is under the direction of the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Competition will be held for the best decorated car in the caravan. Judging will be based on originality of thought. All cars entered will be given numbers and will be judged en route. Announcement of the winners will be made between the halves, of the game. In the lead cars will be the Homecoming Queen, her court of Princesses and escorts, Dr. and Mrs. Farley, Cheerleaders and officers of the Alumni Association. The Association has obtained the services of one of the E"ast's top Drum and Bugle Corps to march in the parade. Arrangements for the entire caravan were made by Skip Gladstone, general chairman and by Gil Davis and George Reynolds. Lambda Omega Rho Some fraternities get athletes. Some get brains.

Friday, October 16, 1959 Colonels Go Bear-Hunting Tomorrow, Seek lo Spoil Ursinus Homecoming The Colonels carry their colors to Collegeville, Pa., tomorrow when they meet the Ursinus Bears at 2:00 p.m. Both teams will be after their initial victory, the Colonel record standing at 0-3, and the Ursinus slate at 0-2. The Bears have been roughed up in their two outings, having lost to Susquehanna, 63-0, and to Johns Hopkins, 50-6. Coach Ray Gurzynski started the season with 27 players, one of the smallest turnouts ever r eported at the Collegeville institution. Included in this group are 13 lettermen, all of whom saw action against Wilkes last year in the Homecoming game. Wilkes was the v.ictor in that contest, 8-0. A situation which saw only four Ursinus freshmen report for football has been bri-ghtened by the addition of several upperclassmen who never played previously. This group includes senior heavyweight wrestler Wally Nielsen who weighs in at 285 pounds and junior fullback Jerry Leatherman, a transfer from Juniata. Coach Gurzynski still has All-ECAC center Bob Peterson, tackle Holly Fitts, and junior John Brackin to plug the center of the line, and has two veteran quarterbacks in Ted Kershner and John Detweiler. Added help is expected from halfbacks Jack McCrae and Gary Leach, along with senior returnee Dick Boggio of -B ogota, N.J. Injuredl Colonels Return The Colonels should find their forces bolstered this week with the return of tackle Jerry Loewen. Loewen has been working out all week and has shown that his leg injury is coming along better than expected. Also slated for actioill is quarterback Bill Schutter, who has been nursing an ankle injury for the past two weeks. PMC 21, Wilkes 6 PMC turned the only Wilkes misplays into touchdowns as they countered after a fumble and two intercepted passes to come out on top of a grueling battle last Saturday at Chester, Pa. Wilkes put up a gallant fight against -the Cadets as they came back from a 6-0 halftime defi cit to tie the score in the third quarter. However, a bad center on a Wilkes punt attempt put the Colonels in -the hole again as the kicker was down ed in the end zone for a safety. Behind 8-6 in the final frame, Wilkes decided to go to the airways, only to have a pafr of .passes pulled in by the Cadets. Both interceptions led to PMC scores, as the Cadets put the game out of reach and went on to .g arner the victory, 21-6. Sidelights of Saturday's Game: Once again it was the running of fullback Marv Antinnes that led the Wilkes offense. Antinnes carried numerous -tim es off tackle and up the middle to emerge as the top groundgainer for the Colonels with 40 yards in 12 tries. Antinnes also registered the only tally for the home forces when he plunged over a mass of bodies from the one-yard line. The sprinting of freshman Tom Meyers from the right halfback slot was also a bright spot in the Wilkes attack Meyers, in his first running play in college ball, set up the Wilkes touchdown with a 9yard sweep around end to the one-yard line.

His performance against PMC was one of the finest displayed by a Wilkes lineman in many years. Although he is not regarded as a spectacular-type player who makes the team's winning score or bats down the opponent's desperation pass, "Jungle Jim" is the steady- -type player whom you find in the pile ups and throwing that key block to spring a fast back loose. He is the calibre player who, without gaining p er s o n a I recognition, earns praise for the Colonel team. Jim's athletic ability was definitely defined by a coach when he said "Jim is the type ball player you can depend on t,o play good, hard football that is a credit to Wilkes." This was further emphasized as the 5' 11", 195-lb. guard was named co-captain of the Blue and Gold squad for the season's opener against Lebanon Valley. An aggressive warrior on the football field, Jim is very friendly and pleasant off the gridiron and can usually be found wandering around the campus with his "shadow," Rick Rees. Jim .g raduated from Kingston High School in 1955 before playing soldier boy in Germany for Uncle Sam. He is now a sophomore at Wilkes, majoring in Secondary Education, and is also an active member of the Lettermen's Club. Like most of the Colonel athletes, Jim is an avid Huckleberry Hound fan and never misses a Three Stooges comedy.

PROVIDENT MUTUAL Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia Seek Third Win In Five Years Over Tough Bisons by Donald B. Hancock After being defeated by Stevens T ech on Wednesday, a high-spirited Wilkes soccer team bounced back Saturday and tied Wagner College by a score of one to one. It was a fast game, with a good deal of action on both sides, Wagner breaking the ice with a goal in the second period. The Colonels' goal came in the third frame when a drive from Joe Morgan dented the net, aided somewhat by a deflection off the head of an obliging Wagner fullback. The Wagner game showed that a great deal of improvement had ,been made on the Wilkes team in just a few days. However, the Colonel hooters next come to what may very well be termed the game of the season; against one of the strongest teams ·B ucknell University has fielded in its soccer history. Armed with ten returning lettermen, the Thundering Herd this afternoon plays host to the Wilkes soccer team at Lewisburg. Coach Henry J. Peters (Penn State '39), has built up a powerful machine since going to Bucknell seven years ago. Two of the team: Steve Flam haft, center halfback; and Roger Mackey, fullback; both seniors, were named to the second team All-Middle Atlantic Conference team last year. They have the fortunate ability of :b eing able to field a fully experienced team without having to add any freshmen or aspiring first-timeout upperclassmen. This surplus of lettermen, most of whom are seniors, has perhaps one rather pleasant indication, at least as far as next year's soccer team is concerned. Because it is so top-heavy with seniors, the Bucknell soccer team stands to be hit just as hard if not harder by graduation than Wilkes was last year. This of course is pure speculation, and only time itself will provide an answer. Aside from possessing two men who were second team All-Middle Atlantic Conference choices last year, they sport a 2-1 victory .o ver Penn State, perenially one of the finest teams in the east. This pa1-ticular victory marks the first time Bucknell has managed to defeat Penn State in twenty-three contests, the best they had previously done against the Nittany Lions had been a 0-0 tie in 1943. Last year the Wilkes hooters defeated the Bisons in two overtime periods, two to one. The total record against Bucknell over five seasons of play is two wins and three ties. This afternoon the Ferrismen have a real fight on their hands when they go against one of the toprated soccer teams in the country. Friday, October 16, 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 8 Coed Bowling League Set for Reorganizing; Meets at J.C.C. Sunday Intramural co-ed bowling moves to the Jewish Community Center lanes at 7:30 p.m. Sunday night. The new quarters are available at the 7 :30 time for the first week only. After that the league will begin at 6 :00 p.m. every Sunday. Another new feature will be the addition of a sixth team to the league. To do this, it was necessary to rearrange the five existent teams. Teams have been drawn up with an attempt to balance averages as carefully as possible to avoid any one team becoming too powerful. The directors of the league are drawing up a season's schedule and will have it published and ready for distribution at the JCC lanes Sunday night. Also to be distributed will be the new team rosters. Every attempt will be made to keep teams as nearly balanced as possible while still honoring reasonable requests by individual bowlers to be on the same teams. New Bowlers Sought Attention of all bowlers is drawn to the fact that this is a new start for the league and new bowlers will be received gladly. Any person interested in joining the league is strongly urged to get in while the reorgani.z ation is being accomplished this week.

We hope that the returnees enjoy their weekend. Students have worked hard and long to do their part in making this weekend a success; . It seems that everyone on campus has had something to do with some part of the preparations. There are so many events, arranged by so many people that it wquld be too great .a task to list them here. Student Governnient, the classes, clubs, administration, faculty - all have played equal part in the beehive of activity which has led to this day, the beginning of Homecoming 1959. We on the Beacon staff have been besieged with space requests throughout the past four weeks. We have done all in our power .to honor these requests in order that all of the Homecoming affairs receive ample coverage.. If, in some way, we have · missed some coverage, blame it on the hectic times, not on intentional oversight. Get Home Safely . Perhaps we should inject here a sober thought. We enjoy . having ·our friends back with us, but more important, we want fo. see them again, year after year. With the wid~ range of parties scheduled between now and Sunday evening, it is a good guess that a certain percentage of the high spirits will come from bottles. We neither condemn nor condone, we merely state a fact of Homecoming life. For those of the celebrants who find themselves subjected to the rigors of too many liquid refreshments, may we sincerely express the belief that gasoline and alcohol form a lethal combination? A casual examination of past years shows that there have been no reported · cases of serious accidents involving Wilkes people at Homecoming time. .The record looks good. We hope everyone takes special pains to keep it clean. Hail to The Queen! CLASS MEETINGS SENIOR CLASS by Steve Cooney A variety of topics were discussed at this week's senior class meeting held in Stark Hall. Final plans were made for the class sport dance to be held in the gym ton ight. Jack Melton's orchestra will play, and cider and donuts will be served. The name of the affair is "The After Glow" keeping with the theme of the Homecoming Weekend. '!he senior class gift committee was also formed, and Christine Winslow was appointed chairman . Volunteers were asked to join this committee. The class gift committee will decide to what use the class memorial tund will be put. Each senior will have donated eight dollars each by the end of this year, and the money will be used to leave a lasting memorial of the class at the college. Gordon Roberts, president of the Student Government and member of the senior class, spoke to the group about the many fellowship opportunities being offered to seniors. Any senior interested in finding more information about these fe llowships should see Dean Cole or iV1r. Chwalek. Final report of the Homecoming committee was given, and chairman Bob Beneski asked for volunt eers to help set up the class display. The next meeting of the senior class will be on November 12, in Stark Hall. . No H;omecoming celebrat(on is complete without its Queen, and the.

Campus Observer I ! Homecoming Weekend provides the opportunity to show some school spirit. Decorations, dances, the bonfire, and t he football and soccer games would be a failure without school spirit. The alumni show enough interest in their school to return to it; students should show their interest in the decorations, attendance at dances and the bonfire, and support of the football and soccer teams. SECRET KEPT "Who is the Homecoming Queen?" could be heard all over campus this past week. In previous years, the supposedly "well kept secret" was known by 50 % of the student population before the official announc•e ment. This year it was different. No one, except the officials concerned, had any knowledge of the winner. Even the names of the nominees were not divulged. This is the way it should be. The excitement and surprise are well worth the waiting. QUIET, FROSH! The fr eshman class m eeting last Tuesday brought many critical comments, both from freshmen and from Mr. Hoover, an advisor of the class . The comments stemmed from the rowdy actions of several fres hmen during the meeting. While campaign speeches were in progress, a group of freshmen was so noisy and disrespectful that their own classmates could not be heard. Freshmen, you are no longer children in high school; you are college students, and should act like college stud ents. CAN'T SPELL A "flyer" distributed last Tuesday informed the student body of a ;,DINER-dance." Just out of curiosity, which DINER will it be held at? Or how many "DINERS" wi ll be dancing? CURTAINS FOR C'N'C? Cue 'n' Curtain has made several requests to the administration for new curtains .. . to no avail. The Cue 'n' Curtain has been promised a new theater for S•e veral years, but it has never become a reality. The curtains are almost a "must" this year. The stage curtains now in use are so tattered that they are used as little as possible. New curtains will cost about $700. The budget is cut as small as possible with the hope of including the curtains; if the curtains ARE included, the other items on the budget will suffer.

In soccer, Wilkes has a record of fiv e wins and no def eats against Hofstra, winning the last time by a score of fi ve to one.
