Frank Edwards Catlinl Engineers Cop Display Prizes Chapman, Hollenback, Bio Club Runnersup by RalJ}h Price The rains which prevailed all through homecoming w e e k e n d dampened everything but the spirit of the students. They simply ignored the dampness and set up some of the finest homecoming displays seen in quite a while. The first prize for the best girls' dormitory display went to Catlin Hall. Their exhibit depicted a Lycoming Warrior being " emulsified" by a huge drop of Lestoil. This was topped by a sign upon which was the slogan "Emulsify Lycoming." Chapman Hall's display came in second. This scene portrayed Lycoming's football players being mowed down by a lawn mower pushed by the Wilkes Colonel. The first prize for the other displays wa s awarded to the Engineering Club. Their exhibit also received the awar d for the best overall display. This scene consisted of four Indians revolving around a campfire, a Colonel shooting the Indian chief, and a painted backdrop depicting the Lycoming and Wilkes campuses. The Lycoming College buildings were represented as being teepees. The Biology Club and Hollenback Hall ran close seconds to t he Engineering Club. The Biology Club displayed a Colonel turning an Indian over a fire on a revolving spit. Hollenba ck Hall's exhibit was a large crepe paper train a ccompanied by the figure of a bowing Colonel. Dick Salus Guests attending this ceremony will include Congressman Daniel J. Flood, who was instrumental in secur ing the flag; George Russett, President of the Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce; and Hugh Carr, a national director of the Jaycees. Wilkes will be represen ted by Dr. Eugen e S. Farley. Dick Salus, president of the Wilkes Jaycees, received congratulatory notes from prominent officials, extending best wishes to the Wilkes Jaycee Chapter on its fifth anni versary. Among correspondence received were letters from the White House, Vice-President Richard Nixon, and Governor David L. Lawren,ce. One of the main reasons Wilkes was chosen for this honor is the fact that Wilkes College had the first collegiate chapter of Jaycees in the world. The Wilkes Chapter was established by an a ct of the Pennsylvania legislature in 1956. Its members are juniors and seniors who are interested in promoting mutual understanding among its members, the college, and the people of Wyoming Valley. The Jaycees have played an int egral role in the Parade of Progress, City Parking Project, the Or phans' Shol?ping :our, the _R etreat State Hospital Gift Campaign, the Jaycee State Convention, "Get Out the Vote" Campaign, Junior Golf, and the Youth Fitness Program. The most recent project of the Jaycees is t)-ie Fire Prevention Program for Wyo ming Valley. P lans for the future include a pamphlet designed to reduce n egative opinion on the future of Wyoming Valley. Drama Group DeIayed iI BY Lac k Of Tryout s,. El.ghteen Actors Needed Cue 'n' Curtain planned to present a two-act play early in December. However, members of the gro up and Alfred Groh, club advisor, are in a quandary because of lack of student interest. Mr. Groh exp r esses hope that such lack of interest is due to insufficient advertising. The play in question-and it definitely is, right now, in questionis "The Man Who Harried a Dumb Wife" (The adjective refe r's to t h e lady's inability to speak, not to her stupid ity.) The play is a two-act farce-comedy, set in the middle ages; it will very likely be done in costume. The cast requires eighteen people, including eight men. Mr. Groh points out that he is not looking for people who are trained or experienced in acting or theater work. The purposes of the college theater are educational, a nd interested students will have the opportunity to learn about theater and to develop any latent talent they may possess. The play selected is one that would not be done by a high school group; Mr. Groh h opes that a lack of mature interest in theater by the students is not the problem. Nor do the Cue 'n' Curtain officers plan to do any personal proselytizing. Any student interested in trying out for a role should contact one of the officers of Cue 'n' Curtain or Al Groh in his office a.t Chase Theater. Rehearsals, when the casting is com pleted, w ill be planned according to the schedules of participating students. There is no reascm why a student cannot do all his curricular woi,k and take part in theater work. Ashley Hail Haunted! Goblins, Witches Prowl At Free "Spook Party" Spooks, spiders and witches will haunt Ashley Hall tomorrow night beginning at 8 p.m. as the resid ents of that dorm invite all students to their big Hallowe'en 'Spook Party.' The Ashley men promise an eerie setting for this bewitching nightdecorations in keeping with the Hallowe'en tradition, party-goers dressed in appropriately weird costumes, and who knows what fun will be brewed in t he witches' cauldron ? Admission to the affair is free; the men of Ashley are trying to promote a good time, nothing else. A full evening of entertain _nent and prizes is promised. There will be dancing to the music of "Web Stereo," prizes for the best costumes, refreshments will be a vailable. Games and contests will be held to supplement the dance. A pieeating contest, bobbing for ap ples, dance contests, "pass" dances, miscellaneous relay contest s and man y oth er entertaining acti vities are scheduled. Althoug h the men of Ashley hope to have many costum ed g u ests, a costume is not necessary. The affair is listed as "stag or drag.'' �2 WII.l(ES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 30, 1959 •••••••••••••••••• EDITORIALS Parking Problems Last Friday one of our enterprising young students had trouble extricating his car from the Franklin-South Street parking lot. Undaunted by propriety, he removed a car blocking his passage and went on his merry way. The only trouble with the maneuver was that he forgot to replace the other car. Left it right on the sidewalk in fact. Perhaps he drove off with a chuckle at his great practical joke, but ii wasn't very funny to the owner of the car, who was working at th(!! time at Chase Hall. When the unsuspecting owner reached the scene later in the a fternoon, the City police had already been past. They left their calling card, too. A pretty blue one. Worth $2.50, but not to the car owner. This is not the first time this has happened. Similar cases have been reported, but not recently. Other times people have moved cars out of their way from the lot to spaces either on South or South Franklin Streets. Sometimes they parked them legally, more often they merely left them wherever convenient. The results have usually been the same . . . a parking ticket. At the meters, however, a ticket only costs one dollar. Needless to say, this practice does not reflect the habits of all student drivers, nor does it indicate that the few who abuse others' rights are of the caliber of people we think are attending Wilkes. However, if it becomes necessary to put rigid controls on what has been generally a well-behaved co-operative activity, so be it. We're Proud We've pulled a sneaky trick this week. Editorial comment concerning sports belongs normally on the sports page, not the editorial page, but we must make an exception in this week's edition. There may be some ethical violations involved, but we have named as our "Athlete of the Week" none other than our own Sports Editor, Ray Yanchus - above his strenuous objections. It is unusual enough to find a man who acts both as the quarterback of the football team and editor of his college paper at the same time. It is more unusual to find a man displaying outstanding talents in both fields. We have it here, however. He has shown solid progress throughout the season on the team, but his performance in the Homecoming game was bordering on sensational. Details of the show he put on are in the page three story, we needn't go into them here. It's a Boy! The staff also wishes to extend congratulations to the family of its adviser, Mr. Francis J. Salley. M r. Salley's wife gave birth to a baby boy Sunday morning. The young fellow joins the other two Salley children in their new home in Forty Fort. And the Rains Came! After a great amount of preparation for the various Homecoming activities, which depended on good weather, we had a full weekend of rain, rain, and rain. It was unfortunate, because the displays, the game, and especially the half time ceremonies, which ~s the culmination. of all the festivities, were almost completely rumed by the torrential downpours. The Homecoming game usually attracts the largest crowd of the season, but on a dismal day such as last Saturday, one w ould expect to find only the handful of regular "loyal" fans a ttending. But this was not so. Nearly 1,000 turned out to see the game, and not only that, most of them stayed at least until the final minutes, many of them without benefit of raincoats, umbrellas, and other protective paraphernalia. The half time ceremonies, the crowning of the queen, and the special flash card section were all abandoned because of the inclement weather, but the spirit of the players and the fans was still there. This is especially noteworthy, since Wilkes is often accused of lacking school spirit.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pu!Jlication but those of the individuals. Letters To The Editor: • • • • • • • ♦ • • • • • • • • ♦ ♦ OPEN LETTER Since Wi!Jkes College encompasses a much larger area with the addition of Parrish Hall, much more difficulty arises when one must go from one end of the campus to the other, in a space of ten minutes or less. Steps should be t aken to allow students to leave their respective classes as soon as the bell rings. Also, all the bells should ring at one time and all the clocks be set at one time. At present, when one clock reads 10 :00 at Parrish, the gym clock is either later or earlier. This situation holds true with all clocks. They all seem to have their own time. Since most of us are not track stars, we cannot make our classes on time. Why can't warning buzzers be installed that would all ring at the same time? Respectfully yours, Ronald Diamondstein Seniors Reminded Of Scholarships Fellowship Opportunities Available for June Grads by Lynne Dente Fellowship applications are still available for students who plan to continue their education. The Wilkes-Barre chapter of the national Secretaries Association International is offering a scholarship to any student who plans to do secretarial work after graduation.

The student may be preparing to teach in any academic discipline common to the undergraduate college. At the time of appointment a student may not have undertaken any graduate study. The applications are for one year and may be r enewed throughout the years of graduate study, and on to the doctorate if the graduate's record is distinguished and the relationship proves agreeable. Financial assistance to the Danforth Fellowship is based on need. Students are encouraged to apply even though they do not need assistance. Applications must be submitted to Mr. Chwalek before December first. Harvard Fellowships for graduate study are available for students who wish to work for a Ph.D. in biophysics. Students of biology and physics are eligible to apply for these fellowships. Non-teaching fellowships are also available. Stipends are up to $3,000 per year with a possibility of a supplementary stipend for summer study.

Although the p osition was a long time in being filled, Edwards should prove well worth the wait. * **** Next Tuesday the polls open, and votes will be cast to elect county officials. Eligible students are urged to vote. The League of Women Voters was in the cafeteria last week, ·p resenting intelligent, educational, and unbiased information for any person interested. Voting is not only a privilege, but a duty. Every vote counts. Get out and VOTE! ***** Students parking at Parrish Hall should take notice of signs posted prohibiting parking in either of the two driveways. Both entrances and exit have been blocked simultaneously. In case of an emergency, this practice would be disastrous. The sharp corner on the approach to the exit is made worse by cars parked in this small space. For safety's sake, let's park only where allowed. ***** Congratulations to the following students as the newly elected freshman class officers: Steve Rob ertson, president; Tom Saba, vicepresident; Conrad Wagner, treasurer; William Hunt, secretary; Lorraine Rome, Jim Walters, and Dick Barnes, Student Government representatives. Good luck in your term of office. ***** Man y thanks to Dick Blisick for the cartoon heading that appears on this column . . The same cartoon will be used on all subsequent Observer columns.

There will be NO shows at the Irem Temple this year; all performances will take place in Chase Theater, with only one major production, in place of the two major productions usually performed. Short plays, involving less costumes and materials, will be presented to keep the costs low. ***** Dick Myers, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, has been at a loss these past two weeks because his faithful car stopped being faithful. Myers' auto stopped c~mpletely on the return trip from the Ursinus game.

Working the "keeper" play to perfection and utilizing an eff ective option, Ray pic,ked up 87 yards in 17 carries. This gave him a 5.1 yard per carry average and crowned him the leading Blue and Gold carrier. Ray proved to be equally dangerous with his aerial antics as h e completed 4 passes to gain an additional 59 yards. In all Ray was responsible for 84 per cent of all yardage gained by the Colonels, running for 5 first downs and passing for three more. This one game performance is a typical show by Ray.

Lycoming 12, Wilkes 0 The Lycoming Warriors matched the weather last Saturday as they put the damper on the Colonel grid team and on the sports finale of the Homecoming activities, when they defeated the home forces, 12-0, in the rain and mud. The Warriors tallied quickly for one score on a first quarter fumble to gather in the n ecessary points for the victory. The Colonel offense was mired in the mud throughout the first h alf and didn 't get slushing until the end of the third quarter. From that point on the Blue and Gold pushed Lycoming all over the sea of mud and were knocking on paydirt's door twice, only to have intercepted passes stop each threat. Outstanding in the Wilkes off ense was end Frank Spudis, who grabbed three passes for 50 yards and quarterback Ray Yanchus, who led all r unners with 87 yards and passed for an additional 59 yards. The Colonel line also played a fine defensive game, stopping the Warriors numerou s times in scoring territory. the final score duplicating Wilkes' tie with Wagner of two weeks previously. The Colonels again outplayed th eir opponents but the failure to score and to win the game represents the presence of a difficulty which the Ferrismen ha ve yet to overcome in order to break into the win column of the record book. ~~t;::1t:1t':'1~ Sam's Kosher Delicatessen For a Snack between Meals Groceries - Dairy Food - Kosher Meats 298 So.

The persons selected were : Allyn Jones, a senior who is majoring in Commerce and Finance. Allyn is from LeRaysville, Pa., and is active in school activities. He is a member of the Inter-Dorm Council and the Jaycees. James Neddoff is a graduate of Wilkes-Barre G.A.R. and resides in this city. He is a Secondary Education math major and is a member of the sophomore class. Ronald Kryznewski is a resident of Nanticoke. He is majoring in Secondary Education and has the additional honor of having been ch o s en Editor-in-Chief of the Manuscript Association. Albert Kishel was graduated from West Pittston High School. He is majoring in Commerce and Finance and has been elected president of the sophomore class. Ideas for the Winter Carnival, which is yet in the planning stage, were also discussed. Enlarged facilities, program, and possible change of location were the principle topics discussed. Mount Airy and Pocono Manor were two of the possible locations, but other possibilities will be considered. Last year's bad weather resulted in extremely crowded indoor facilities, since these were not intended to accomodate the huge crowd of people attending the Carnival. Hence, the prime consideration in selecting the site will be indoor space. For people who prefer the outdoors, a larger ice-skating area and outdoor sports area will ali10 be provided. _______ Blood Donor Day Friday the Thirteenth, Big Turnout Sought by Cynthia Hagley Friday the thirteenth, a black day for all superstitious people, will not present a gloomy face on campus this month. Instead it will give Wilkes students the opportunity to give blood to the regional Red Cross center. The hours for donation will be from 9:45 a.m. till 2:45 p.m. Since the attendants give juice, a sandwich, and a cup of coffee to every donor, it is suggested that the students visit the center before lunch. This Blood Donor Day will be the eighteenth since the campaign began on campus. The greatest turnout was in December of 1952 when 136 people were present. Compare this to last May's turnout of 31 students. In the past 17 collections Wilkes has given 1250 pints of blood. This averages up to approximately 73½ pints per Donor Day. The past two contributions have fallen far short of this average. Blood can be given by any student under 21 with their parents' permission. Forms for this release can be obtained at Mr. Reese's office. Students over 21 have no such forms to fill out and may drop by at any time. dent Education Association of Pennsylvania at a regular fall busit ness mee ing.

The Colonels rose on their toes and swung a mighty sabre to unseat the Crusaders in a 12-7 upset win. Susquehanna had been riding the crest of a spectacular season, averaging 40 points per game offensively while holding the opposition to a total of 28, and had amassed a record of 3 wins against 1 loss. Wilkes showed the signs of a truly tough competitor, though they dropped behind early in the contest, but came on strong late in the game when tqe chips were down. The Crusaders jumped off to a quick lead when they scored in the fird period on a run by halfback John Yanuklis around right end. The extra point was made by center Tom Sa:ttuel to ma!ce it 7-0. The Colonels battled the rest of the first half as their offense sputtered along. Finally, with less than a minute remaining in the second stanza, Wilkes dro ve to the Susquehanna 18, but time ran out at that point. The Tide Turns The Blue and Gold defense unit really came alive in the third quarter as they pushed the Crusader attack back into their own territory where they remained for the rest of the contest. An intercepted pass by halfback Tom Krisulevicz turned into the first Wilkes break of the game. Two plays later end Ray Marchakaitus grabbed a short pass t hrown by Bill Schutter and broke away from a sure tackle going to · the Crusader 6 yard line. A _penalty moved the bail to the 3 and fullback Marv Antinnes drove over for the score to make it 7-6. A pass for the extra point was knocked down in the end zone. Wilkes came back again at the start of the final period when Antinnes grabbed off a Crusader pass and returned it to the Susquehanna 32. A series of ground plays, with Antinnes and Krisulevicz doing most of the heavy work, moved the ball to the 2. Antinnes dove into paydirt for what proved to be the winning score. Both TD's cam e within 5 minutes. Defense Contains Foe There was still 11 minutes remaining when Wilkes tallied their second touchdown, but the defensive play of the Colonels made the seconds tick off faster and faster as the Susquehanna offens·e bogged down deep in their own territory. The Crusaders were unable to get past their own 30 yard line in the fourth quarter, and were held to one first down during that time. The Colonel secondary played heads up ball throughout the second half as they stifled the Susquehanha passing attack with 4 timely interceptions, three of them coming in the final frame. The line play of the forward wall was slightly above tremendous all afternoon and the fast rushes put on by the "up front guys" made ( continued on page 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Blood Donor Day November 13 Blood Means Lite If medical requirements for whole blood are to be met during the coming year, one out of every 20 people in the nation will be needed as a blood donor. The use of blood and blood fractions in medical practice will continue to grow as new discoveries are made. Every healthy man or woman can safely donate blood five times a year. Giving blood is safe and easy. Receiving blood means life to thousands each year. Make it a habit to donate blood regularly - give the ill and injured an extra chance for life.

After having attended the October 20th meeting, two questions came to mind concerning Student Government activities in this area. The first question is: Does the Student Government have power to appropriate funds specifically allocated to it for the purpose of maintaining student activities to a project that can hardly be conceived of as an extra-curricular activity? The second question: Is there a reason why the balance of the 19581959 extra-curricular budget could not have been added to this year's grant, thus making available to students through their activities money taken from their tuition for that purpose? Let us consider the first question. Does the Student Government have power to change the purpose for which funds were granted them? According to the Wilkes College Bulletin, included in the tuition fee of $3•25 is a charge for maintaining student activities. This is made available to the Student Government through an annual grant. According to the Constitution of the Student Government, Article II, Section 2, this body may draft a budget of appropriations for recogni,zed activities. At the close of last year, a balance of $655.88 remained in the Student Activities Fund. Evidently this money did not have to be returned to the general college fund, but remained in the hands of the Student Government, for at the beginning of the fall semester, this money was appropriated by the Student Government to form four scholarships. While the motives of the Student Government are not questioned, the issue remains that money alloted for student activities from student tuition was used for an entirely different purpose. Nowhere in the Student Government Constitution is this au tho r it y granted. This brings us to the second question : Why was not last year's balance of $·655.88 added to this year's grant to make all the money allotted from student tuition, past and present, available to students for their extra-curricular activities since the money is taken for that purpose? The size of the ExtraCurricular Activities grant for 1939-6·0 is $13,600. The total request by organizations was $14,919. Apparently cuts totaling $1319.35 had to be made - and they were. Had, however, the $655.88 remaining from last year been used for its proper purpose, the difference might have been cut by more than one-half. This would not mean that Wilkes extracurricular activities are too big for the budget, but that maximum use is being made of available funds. This cannot be done if funds are allowed to be diverted to worthy, but not appropriate channels. Respectfully, Roberta Feinstein To the Students: As Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association, may I extend, on behalf of the Alumni Association, a heartfelt thanks for a job well done. In spite of the inclement weather, the spirit of Homecoming prevailed through both alumni and student activities and helped to make the week-end a success.

Mr. Whitby putting anti-freeze m his car? . . . Dick Salus' nickname, "The Lover?" . . . and finally, the long, long walk from Parrish Hall to the gym? We are ~appy to see that Joe Andrejko finally got a ROLO. Now maybe he will stay off our TV screens. SCHOOL SPIRIT LIVES ON School spirit is not dead. It is very much alive in some students. These students constitute the cheering section and other students who travel to the a'."ay games. Approximately two-hundred fifty students traveled to Selmsgrove, Pa., last Saturday. Wilkes was represented at the P.M.C. game by about two hundred students. In these students, school spirit is a living, growing thing. But a small group cannot, and should not, represent the school spirt for this college. If the rest of the student body would only have a fraction of the spirit expressed by these f ew, we would not have need for a school spirit committee. A committee can not arouse spirit where there is none. This is not to ~ay that there is no school spirit here ; rather, it is lying dormant. Lets remove ourselves from this stagnant pool of "do-nothingness." Moral Re-Armament Seen By Student Columnists by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts THERE IS AN ANSWER . This is the first in a series of articles designed to present the issue facmg the world today. This column is dedicated to presenting not who is right but what is right. From a historical point of view many thousands of years ago there was an Ice Age, then a Stone Age, and then 5000 B.C. the world enterec' the Bronze Age and then ,t he Iron Age. Only 180 years ago mar harnessed steam-power and ushered in the Industrial Age. And now today, we are in the Ideological Age. You'll only understand what i~ going on in the world when you understand an ideology. . An ideology i~ a faith which grips m en and nations. It gives a philosophy, a passion, and a plan to change the world and it creates the force of people ~o do it. There are two ideologies bidding for the world today. One is Moral Re-Amament which believes that God's mind should control the world through human nature that has been changed; the other is communism which believes that man's mind should control the world through human nature which has been exploited. One or the other must win. Admiral William H. Standley, former Chief of Naval Operations and United States Ambassador to Moscow, stated this point clearly when he said, "the choice for America is Moral Re-Armament or Communism." William Penn put the alternative of Moral Re-Armament or Communism explicitly when he said, "Men must choose to be governed by God or they condemn themselves to be ruled by tyrants." . A closer l?ok at Communism will show that it is an ideology, an idea that dommates the whole of a person, his motive, his thinking his living, and he fights with a strategy to get everyone else to li v~ the same way. It cannot be met on the military or economic level alone but only by a superior ideology. Moral Re-Armament is that superior ideology with a superior strategy because it meets the needs of the whole man and it is available for all men everywhere, non-communist and communist alike. It is for more than an answer to Communism . Radio Moscow violently assailed this idea when it said, "Moral Re-Arament is a global ideology with bridge-heads in every nation in its final phase of total expansion throughout the world. It has the power to capture and change radical revolutionary minds. It is contaminating and upsetting the minds of the masses. It substitutes for the inevitable class struggle the eternal struggle of good and evil." To bring an answer to the world's problems there are absolute standards one must apply in daily living. It is because we do not apply absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness, and absolute love in our daily lives that society is in danger of collapse. Why absolute? Because the world needs an authority to accept. A standard must be absolute or it is not a standard and who would want a parachute that almost opens? To find an answer for the world the best place to star t a chang e is within yourself. Remember - when you point your finger at your neighbor there are three more pointing back at you. The fact is that human nature can be changed, that is the root of the answer. National economy can be changed, that is the fruit of the answer. World history can be changed, that is the destiny of our age. Absolute honesty, honest apology, is the high road to lasting peace; absoluate purity, a great cleansing force through nations ; absolute unselfishness, there is enough in the world for everyone's need but not enough for everyone's greed; absolute love, if everyone cared enough and everyone shared enough, everyone would have enough.

Each year, many people travel to central city to walk or drive around the campus to view the displays but, unfortunately, Mother Nature frown ed on us before very many people were able to see them. In my opinion, the displays were the fin est we have had. To the queen and her princesses, go our congratulations - and our sorrow that more people were not able to see the pageantry that is so much a part of Homecoming weekend and so thrilling for the queen. We cannot help but feel that you were cheated of a wonderful experience. To the men who worked so hard planning the Car Parade and the half-time c e rem on i e s, go our thanks. The program was worked out so diligently and t imed so carefully that it could not have been unsuccessful. We, of the Alumni Association thank you once again for your interest and enthusiasm which mad r our Twelfth Annual Homecoming a complete success.

While Shupert doesn't pretend to be a member of the "beat generation," he can see that there is lot of good fun to be had at this dance and he wants to be in the picture. Having recently shed his own beard, he has a soft spot in his heart for the lads who are raising their beat beards for the contest and wants to be around to see that the best fuzz wins. Moreover, he's heard the crazy news that a couple of Wilkes profs are going to spout off during interml·ss1·on, reading beatnik poetry and singing folk-ballads in the Burl Ives manner. That's not all. Just about everyone going to the dance is eligible to compete for a prize for the best "beat" costume. Even the Blue Notes, whose live music will provide the dancing before the intermission high-jinks, will save their dirty T-shirts and berets to lend the proper atmosphere. Rumor has it that the profs entertaining immediately before the contest judging include maybe even a Ph.D. or two. You think you've seen Friday night dances at Wilkes? Man, this beatnik thing's going to top them all. Although the planners haven't committed themselves yet, they think that some of the proceedings may get on Channel 22's news programming, too, if technical requirements are ironed out properly. Of course, all this isn't news to you night-owls who listen to Shupert's Alley. He's been talking it up on the show. Well, like, listen. Hear for yourself and join the fun next Friday. Dancing from 9-12, 50-cent donation, music by the Blue Notes, intermission fun, what else could there be? You want coffee espresso, too?

United Fund Drive Final Figures Revealed, College Gives $4400 In a report released by Dr. Charles Reif, director of th e Wilkes United Fu nd Drive, it was disclosed th at contributions have exceeded th e proposed goal of $4000. The combined contributions of the students, faculty, and administration amount to $4428.20. By far the greater portion of donations came from the members of the administration and faculty. This group presented the Fund with $3607.50. The gifts from the student body fell far short of the goal of $1500. A total of $820. 70 was donated by the students. This compares unavorably with the $892.78 given by students last year. The social sendoff of the drive on campus, the Freshman United Fund Dance, netted a profit of $152 which was turned over to the UF. Only 54 per cent of the student goal was reached. The student body of King's College contributed 25 per cent more to the United Fund Drive. Supers11·11·on Is No Excuse TQ Mar CQIIege BIQQ dprogram by Cynthia Hagley . Today is the day people are prone to follow age-old superstitions. They avoid black cats, step cautiously around ladders, handle mirrors with care, and leave their moonwatching to other nights. Time, however, has proved these superstitions to be unfounded and utterly ridiculous. Today people spill salt, drop s1•1verware and enact ot h er ta b oos without any qualms because they know they will realize no harm from these ant1·quated v1·01ations. ture it is going to be converted into a dormitory for boarding students. There is also a strong possibility that Stark Hall will be expanded to cover the territory behind the Bennett building. This expansion will allow increased facilities for the research laboratories.

With an eye to the future and following th e program of expansicn already initiated, the College has also purchased the building at 157 South Franklin Street. This building, more popularly known as "the other half of 159 South Franklin Street," brings the total nu mber of buildings now owned by the College to twenty-nine. There are no permanent plans for the buil d ing because it is going to be completely demolished, but after th e b u i l d in g has been destroyed, a lawn will be planted on the grounds, and a driveway will be built which will serve as the South Franklin Street entrance to Stark Hall. one supers t 1·t·10n remams · · prom1nent on all of our hori·"ons. Per-~ haps its greatest harm is that it affects more than just one person. This common superstition is that giving blood hurts. Why is this superstition harmful? Because it not only keeps people capable of giving blood from donating it, but it also deprives someone who needs the blood from having it. If superstitions were rated as to truthfulness this one would be put under the heading Absurdity. The prospective blood donors of Wilikes will shun one of the biggest wives' tale in the world when they congregate at the blood center behind the Red Cross building between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. today. Their contribution of blood will help fill the annual quota of four million bottles of blood needed in this country every year to treat ill and injured. Two million bottles · supp 1·1ed t h rough Red of th"1s 1s Cross bl oo d cent ers l"k th e region· J e al center in Wilkes-Barre. This local blood center serves forty-three hospitals in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region. The center makes regular weekly deliveries to these hospitals and emergency deliveries in extreme cases. Thirty-two American Red Cross chapters around Luzerne County bring their donations to the Blood center in Wilkes-Barre. In the fiscal year starting July 1, 1957 and ending June 30, 1958, residents donated 38,031 pints of blood. Some of this went in the Civil Defense collection of blood, but most stayed right in Wyoming Valley for local use. Nine counties and areas fulfilled 90 to 100 per cent of their quota in donations. Students of Wilkes will be doing their part to help Luzerne County reach its goal. NESBITT NURSES Chapman Hall Girls Planning Open House CCUN NOTICE Congressman Daniel J.

The scene is delightful; every year people look forward to it and glory in the beauties of the season. But, the falling leaves foreshadow the coming of Winter. A hint of snow and frigid, blustery weather is evident in the brisk air of Autumn. Winter sports enthusiasts look forward to the snow, but they join everyone in dreading snow's effect on highway's. Soon we are going to have a holiday; maybe there will be some snow with it. The National Safety Council will take all this into consideration and predict-with distressing accuracythe number of people who will die in traffic during that festive period. Premature with our warning? Perhaps we are, but Safety has no time limits. We cannot sit by, idly nodding approval of the experts' forecasts of highway slaughter. We must say something to add to the warnings of the experts, whose warnings often go unheeded. In the first eight months of 1959, 23,810 people died in traffic. Over 800,000-nearly a million people! - have suffered disabling injuries in that period. Property was damaged to the extent of $1.85 billion! Mere figures, of course, do not tell the complete story. Appalling though the numbers may be, they cannot begin to tell the story of broken hearts, broken homes, orphaned children forced into lives of insecurity and despair. Only the actual experience can really give us an idea of the frightiul waste caused by traffic accidents. We don't think that having that experience is a good way to appreciate the need for safe driving, however. This year we are joining the Advertising Council in its FallWinter Stop Accidents Campaign. The same people who give us "Smokie" the Bear and other public service advertising have provided the Beacon with the safety posters we will display from time to time. We hope our readers know enough about the dangers of careless driving to make the publication of such material superfluous. We know better, however. Even the most careful driver has lost his temper from time to time, or has been bothered by a problem at the office, or has been fed up with _his mother-in-law or a million and one other distracting mental problems. These are the careful, sober, upright citizens who find themselves suddenly, viciously, agonizingly thrown into ·,he horrors of highway accidents. They are sensible people, but Death isn't particular. He awaits the first mistake. When Te~per takes the wheel, safety slips away. Stay sane, stay ahve. Make every day safety day. Let Us Know Next week will be the last issue of the Beacon until December 4. We make this clear now to avoid misunderstandings later. Every reasonable effort is made to cooperate with the publicity needs of campus affairs; nothing is refuse~ when the requests meet with our requirements of space and time. . To continue with this cooperation, we make the remmder of the week's gap in publishing on account of Thanksgiving holiday. Anyone who has any event scheduled between the dates November 14 and December 3 should make every effort to see . that the Beacon is notified in order to insure adequate coverage. We try to get all the news, and we get all that people tell us about, but we're not .clairvoyant. People who keep details of their activities a secret run the risk of having nobody there when the event takes place. Help us to help you. "I was fighting mad . . •" Too often the innocent suffer when tem1,er's at the 'W'heel! When another driver burns you up-cool off! Losing your head can cost you control of your car, make an innocent party a victim of your spite. Last year traffic accidents brought death to 37,000 people, p ainful injuries to hundreds of thousands more. Too many were innocent victims of good drivers who momentarily let emotion blindfold judgment. When all your mind's on driving, you'll be a safer driver. Letter to the Editor ... • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ♦ • Dear Mr. Editor: In reply to a letter of Miss Feinstein which appeared in last week's Beacon, I would like to state that Miss F einstein did not present a factual view of the issues raised, simply because she did not have th e fa ct s. Her first question was : "Does the Student Go vernment have power to appropriate funds specifically allocated to it for the purpose of maintaining student activities to a project that can hardly be conceived of as an extracurricular activity ?" Her second question was: "Is there a reason why the balance of the 1958 - 1959 extra-curricular budget could not have been added to this year's grant, thus making a vailable to students, through their activities, money taken from their tuition for that purpose?" · At this point Miss Feinstein states, "Let us consider the first question. Does the Student Government have power to change the purpose for which funds were granted them ? " If one looks closely at Miss Feinstein's first stated question and then at the one she wants to consider as the first question it becomes obvious that they are not identical; therefore, the answers to them will obviously not be the same. We, therefore, now have three questions: Question 1: The answer to this question is that the Student Government did not appropriate the balance of $655.88 to an extracurricular activity, that is, the scholarship fund. The Student Government was advised by the Administration of Wilkes College to use this figure for scholarships. It should ·be pointed out that at all times the Student Government is handling funds appropriated to it by Wilkes College. Therefore, when there is a balance at the end of a fiscal year this balance is automatically absorbed by the college general fund. That is what happened this past year; howe ver, because the Student Government did have a balance of $655.88, we were advised by Dr. Farley to use this amount for scholarships. This is to say that the Student Government actually had a credit of $655.88 with the Administration, and that the administration, through Dr. Farley, advised using this credit for scholarships. The answer to question 2 is yes. The reason is that such a balance never existed but was automatically absorbed bv the college general fund. The Student Government simply had a credit of $665.88 and was advised to direct this credit for scholarships. The answer to Miss Feinstein's third question is that the Student Government never did nor never assumed to have the power to change the purpose for which funds were granted to it. The funds granted to the Student Government were used at all times, for the specific purpose of maintaining student activities. I would like to point out that Student Leaders Conferences, and Student Government meetings are open to all students who have questions and who would like to have them factually answered. The n ext meeting of the Student Government is No vember 17th at 6:00 p.m. on the second floor of the Bookstore. It is my hope, also, that these issues may be discussed before the entire student body on December 1st, at the Roving Mike Assembly Program. Student Government President Respectfully, Gorden E. Rob erts BOWLING SCHEDULE Sunday's Garnes Contests begin at 6:30 Alleys• 3 and 4 Smashers vs. Kingpins Alleys 5 and 6 Gutterdusters vs. Blitzkriegs Alleys 7 and 8 Pinbusters vs. Flatballs l................................... Campus Observer I Friday, November 13, 1959 rPRIVA!c lo fl HONESTY - THE BEST POLICY Miss Dworsiki, French instructor, used the Honor System to give tests to French 101 classes. With the students' cooperation, Miss Dworski gave the same tests to both sections. Students in both sections promised not to reveal anything about the exams. Miss Dworski soon learned that certain unscrupulous persons did give information to the other classes. Because of this, she can no longer place trust in these classes. If she has enough faith in the students to trust them, you, as students, should not misuse this trust. You are the only ones who can redeem yourselves. Remember, "Honesty is the best policy." The above is only one example why Wilkes does not have an honor system. You can't ha ve an honor system without honor. It is only the minority that prohibits the establishment of an honor system. QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY Why don't the various clubs and organizations on campus band together and hold one big, well-planned dance? If all the clubs would join together, they could finance a big name band. This would give more quality and less quantity to the social activities. Quality is the desired factor which has been absent from many of the activities. PARKERS BEW AREi Student parking has always been a problem. This problem has turned into n predicament, growing worse every day. When students move cars to provide an exit for theii- own car, they are expected to return the other cars to the parking lot. This is not being done. Cars are being left on the sidewalk, on the street, and in 'no parking' zones. There is enough trouble about parking fa cilities already, without parking tickets and summonses being issued by the police department. If the parking problems continue, the administration may further limit the students allowed to park on campus. Dick Myers, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, has found his own solution to the parking problem; he still has not purchased a car. This is not r ecomm ended as the answer to the problem, but it may come to this unless the situation vastly improves. Yours truly, The Observer WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

The Shaw play will be presented "in the round," as are all of the King's productions. In the Theatre in the Round method, the audience is seated on all four sides of the playing area and through intimate contact with the actors almost feel that they are a part of the production. Tickets for this season's opener are $1.00 and can be purchased at the door or r eserved in advance by callin~ King 's College (VA 4-5731). Curtam for all three evenings will be at 8:30. Coincidence Occurred One of the most unusual circumstances involving this production is the fact that our own Cue 'n' Curtain had made plans to do this same play next semester. Play books had been ordered and the technical crew had alre~dy begun to draw up temporary staging and costume plans. While all these arrangements were being made at both King's and Wilkes, neither college knew that the other was planning to produce the same play. This is the first time in the history of the two colleges that such a coinciden ce has occurred. When Mr. Alfred Groh C 'n' C advisor, was contacted' by the Beacon he said that he had not yet decided whether or not to continue with plans to do the play. Mr. Groh pointed out that it has never been the intention of either drama tic group to compete in any way and .by doing the same play in th~ same year, audiences seeing both might compare one production with the other, defeating the purposes of the two dramatic groups. Mr. Groh also pointed out that the fact that the Cue 'n' Curtain production of "Major Barbara" had been scheduled for May six months from now - which might allow the Wilkes theatre group to continue with their plans and thereby not lose any of the money already invested in the production. ~~ SIGN OF GOOD TASTE Bottled under authorify of The Coca-Cola Company by KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Wllk. .Barre, Pa.

He stated that the suggestion had been made for selling individual student patron tickets at $1.00 per person. This subject was taken up by Jim Stephens, chairman of the School Spirit Committee, who said that the committee had a wide representation from the clubs and classes; therefore, it would be willing to undertake the patron ticket project. Because of the abundance of last year's Amnicola still remaining in the bookstore, it was suggested that all students be reminded that they are entitled to a yearbook free of charge. It is part of their tuition paid for each semester. Winter Carnival Discussion of the Winter Carnival presented at the meeting included sites for the affair. Pocono Mountain Inn and Onawa Lodge are the only two places out of nine approached that can handle the Carnival on the date planned. The choosing of the site has been tabled until the special meeting of the Student Government next Tuesday night. Chairmen of the various committees have been chosen by the cochairmen of the Winter Carnival, Mike Armstrong and Dick Barnes. They are as follows: program, George Reynolds; publicity, Judy Butchko· chaperons, Cynthia Dysleski; a;d music Rh ea Politis. Report on the car caravan showed that 30 cars participated with over 100 students going along for the ride. The comments were many and favorable on both the decorated cars and the spirit of the students. The Policies Committee of the Student Government has set up their proposals on school calendar and events along with other programs and will mimeograph these for next Tuesday's special meeting. At that time they will be voted on by Student Government members. The minutes of each Student Government meeting are also mimeographed. One copy is posted on the bulletin board and others are placed in the mail boxes of all campus organizations. Dick Salus suggested that there be a Student Leaders' Conference some time in January before the committee of evaluation visits the college in February of next year. This proposed meeting will be held some time in January of next year. Because of a conflict in schedule, the Freshman dance date was moved up from February 26, 1960 to December 4, 1959. This unprecedented move was approved by the Student Government. Gordon Rob erts made the suggestion that the Christmas vacation All-College Dance, sponsored by the Student Government should be handled by the underclassmen members of the government. This proposal received approval from the group of representatives, and in particular, the senior m embers.

WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA All-College Dance 'Beatnik Bop' Next Friday Night Seeks Area Group Offers Poetry, Collegians to Sing; No Admission Charge To Gala Holiday Affair NEXT ASSEMBLY FEATURES 1 HARRY TREBILCOX, PIANIST Mr. Harry Trebilcox, pianist, ' will present a musical program at i next Tuesday's Assembly program. Harry Trebilcox, a native of Trucksville, Pa., form erly a student of Wilkes College, is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, N.Y. While at the Eastman School, he contracted paralytic polio with the tragic result that it left his right arm paralyzed. He did not turn away from his major interest, the study of the piano, but continued to develop his left hand. The repertoire of works for the left hand alone is extremely limited, and it was for this reason that Mr. Trebilcox began making transcriptions of works for the left hand. His program will consist of his transcription of "The Pictures At An Exhibition" by Modeste Moussorgsky. Moussorgsky, one of the famous Russian "Five", was inspired to write this suite after viewing a set of paintings by the artist Alexandre Hartmann. The original paintings have long since disappeared, but Moussorgsky's suite lives as one of the most popular of music in the piano literature.

The discerning reader of the 1959-60 Beacon will note that the Page One headline stories have not been about the weekly dances until this week. The reason for that is simple. We prefer to have greater space given to stories concerning the role of the College in the Community, the activities of organizations which best publicize the College's attempts to take an active role as a source of cultural development, and put feature storiesconcerning regular dances-in the feature section, Page Four of a four-page edition. The exception this week is that the personalities involved in tonight's dance are NEWS. While we don't intend to suggest that the Beacon staff advocates "Beatnik" tendencies, we do see this night's activities as a possible source of real amusement and entertainment enhanced by the appearance of a prominent jurist and a popular radio personality. In addition, some faculty members are also going along with the fun and will take active part in the intermission program. We don't imply that we will automatically reject a dance story as Page One material but if such affairs are given advance publicity consisting only of the names of committees, the name of the band and a brief description of the decorations, its news value is limited and it will receive feature treatment. When a great deal of planning, originality and unique "gimmicks" are part of the advance news, we will go out of our way to see that ambition to present a different program is amply rewarded by all the space we can afford it. Friday night dances are a wonderful thing for the College, giving all people from a variety of interests a chance to gather at the same time on common ground. Those sponsoring these social calendar dates have an obliga'lion as well as a chance to make a little money for their organizations. The responsibility is simply to provide an interesting night for the people who make the treasury-fattening activities a success or a failure. Give the entertainment-seekers something to interest and entertain them and he affair can hardly help being a financial as well as social success. We think tonight's program may well fall into that category. We can only hope that every Friday night dance will offer as much. • • • ♦ ♦ ♦ • • • • • • • • ♦ • • Letters To The Editor: + • ♦ ♦ ♦ • • ♦ • • ♦ ♦ ♦ • ♦ • • • Dear Mr. Editor : Mr. Roberts' recent letter gives much additional information about the procedure involved in initiating the scholarship fund, but it does not answer the basic issue: tuition money is being used for a different purpose from that stated in the college catalogue. The Student Government's role may have been no more than to carry out the suggestion of the administration, but this is of little consequence. What is important that funds that might have been and ought to have been used to enrich the program of the entire student body have been diverted to a program that benefits only a very few individuals, worthy as that program might be. This matter assumes its importance when we consider the source of the money.

These persons are, of course, preparing for the Beatnik Bop which will take place tonight at the gym. Bill Shupert of " Shupert 's Alley" fame will judge the beards and pick a winner.

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON �Friday, November 20, 1959 WILKES COLLEGE :tiEACON 3 Basketball Season Opens December 2nd Honeymooners Beat ❖Hoopslers Face Strong Crusader Outfit in Selinsgrove Road Till; Shawneeites, 19-18; Playoff Game Sunday Davis Welcomes Veteran Squad ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Versalile Joe Morgan Honored, Helps Tie Final Soccer Maleh On Sunday afternoon the Shawneeites and the Honeymooners "banged heads" in one of the season's top contests and when the "dust had settled" the high-flying Honeymooners emerged with a hard-fought 19-18 victory. This ended the Shawneeites winning skein at thirteen games over the last two seasons. Two-Letter Man Excels Also As Grappling Ace, Choice for MAC Honors This week's recipient of the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" award is Joe Morgan. His aggressive play brought a frustrated Wilkes soccer squad from defeat to a tie with a highly-charged Lycoming squad. "Tiger," as he is known by his aggressive play, carried the soccer team through an "off" season and his general attitude of sports on and off the field is tops. A gentleman and true sportsman have made Joe one of Wilkes' top athletes and a rr:an we all can be proud of. Although the soccer team enjoyed little success this season, Joe's play salvaged a few strands of victory. His "never-give-up" attitude led the young soccer squad to many close contests and his example has earned much praise for himself and Wilkes. Joe earned All-Conference honors for the past three seasons at halfback and should be a top contender for the position again. Soccer isn't Joe's only athletic endeavor as he is one of Coach Reese's top grapplers and will serve as captain of this year's wrestling team. Last season he The Shawneeites drew "first blood" when Ron Roski caught an aerial from Tom Pugh and outraced the Honeymooner secondary to the goal line. The score was set up when "Tosh" Karmilovich intercepted a Clem Gavenas pass. Clem Gavenas drew the Honeymooners into the scoring column soon after when he hit "Chopper" Ontko with a touchdown pass and then put the Honeymooners into the lead by hitting "Daddy" Radecki with an extra point toss. Joe Morgan was partly responsible for the undefeated season and captured third place in the 137-lb. class of the M.A.C. Joe is married to a very pretty form er Wilkes coed and this year they were blessed with a baby girl. Joe resides in Forty Fort. Before coming to Wilkes, Joe attended Girard College where he lettered on the wrestling team all four years. He also captained the grapplers in his senior year. Legmen Gain Tie in Final Game; Roberts Scores Colonel Goal by Don Hancock The Wilkes hooters traveled to Williamsport last Saturday and there tied Lycoming College, 1-1, in periods of overtime play. It was an evenly played game, the Warriors first breaking the ice and banging home a goal in the second period to take the lead which they held all th e way into the fourth and final frame. With but four minutes remaining in the r egulation period of play, outside left Clyde Roberts scored the lone Colonel goal and tied the score.

F & M 3, Wilkes 2 Last Thursday afternoon, November 12, the Wilkes soccer team was defeated by a score of three to two by a strong Franklin & Marshall t eam on the victors' home field at Lancaster. The game was a tough one, the Diplomats proving to be a rough and tumble team that played a rough game. The Diplomats possessed a powerful line that constantly harried the Wilkes d ef ense, g1vmg · · Morgan, D av1s, · Chew, Gacha, and Freed a very busy afternoon. The Lycoming game marked the end of the season for the Wilkes soccer team, the final record being one win (over Muhlenberg, 1-0), seven losses, and three ties. The Colonel line never had ample opportunity to build up a strong drive to score enough to win. The two Wilkes goals were scored by co-captain Carl Havira and by inside-right Chuck Billings.

Score at the end of the third period was 18-13 in favor of the Shawneeites. With three minutes left in the game, "Chopper" Ontko gave the Honeymooners their margin of victory when he scored on a pass from Gavenas. With time running out, the Shawneeites were unable to pentrate the Honeymooners' goal again thus setting the stage for a playoff game next Sunday. This do-or-die contest will take place in Kirby Park at one o'clock. One of the most interesting parts of the contest was the Mattey brothers playing against each other. John played center for the Honeymooners while his "little" brother Don played halfback for the Shawneeites. ***** INTRAMURAL TOUCH FOOTBALL .

Sporting Goods, 28 North Main Street For the past three weeks coaches Eddies Davis and Al Goldberg have been putting their '59-'60 edition of the Wilkes basketball team through their drills for the season's opener against a strong Susquehanna squad on the latter's court. This year's Colonel squad should improve last year's 9-11 record and will be a strong contender for the MAC crown. Some of this year's Davismen who will see plenty of action are: co-captains George Gacha and Bernie Radecki. Gacha, although deadly with his jump shot, will again be called upon to be the playma,ker while Radecki should again be one of the scoring leaders. The two tallest men on the squad are veterans Ron Roski and Bernie Kosch. Roski, who stands 6' 4", will again be counted on to control the backboards but will receive much help this year from 6' 6" "Moose" Kosch. Two returning juniors from last year's team are Clem Gavenas and Barry Yokum. Both of these "outof-towners" are probable starters with Gavenas having the inside track because of his scoring ability. Among the returning veterans seeking a starting forward berth are John Salsburg and Don Mattey. Salsburg, a junior from Harter, is a topnotch rebounder while "Walrus" Mattey from Hanover combines his soft-touch shots with aggressive rebounding in his bid for a starting berth. Eddie Kemps is one of Coach Davis' better ball handlers and will see lots of action along with Tom Pugh and George Tensa, both fro!ll Plymouth. The top losses to the squad are Fran Mikolanis, who last year earned three berths on the AllEast team for his scoring ability, and Ray Y anchus, one of the squad's best cornermen, who was injured playing football, and may miss part of the season. Among the top freshmen are Phil Russo from Exeter, Garry Vanderberg from Plains, Lee W ashuleski from Dupont, and Harvey Rosen fr om Brooklyn. • ki Star; HeWJ•tt, GaJeWS TOp Three TeafflS FaII, PiIlbUSterS Lead bYOne 1 by John Nork The Pinbusters' lead was cut to one game Sunday night when the F latballs defea ted them, 3-1. The Kingpins gained sole possession of s e c o n d place, defeating the Smashers, 3-1. The Gutterdusters slipped into fourth place after suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Blitzkriegs. The victory put the Blitzkriegs into third place, only two games out of first. The race is a tight one and first place can still be an ybody's prize. As the season progresses, the bowlers can look forward to many an exciting match. Emil Petrasek, one part of the 1-2 punch for the Pinbusters, again proved to be the big gun of his team as he roll ed a 181-495. Staying close behind was the other half of the punch, Dave Sokira, with a 177-460. However, the effects of this blow were not seen Sunday as the Finbusters went down in defeat. Jerry Chisarick proved to be a powerful factor in his Flatballs' victory with a 192-503. Dick Barber pitched in with a 199-501. The Kingpins took 3 points from the Smashers winning the total pinfall by a mere three pins. Adam Gajewski starred for his Kingpins toppling a 199-579. Jules Heller rolled a 191-521 for the victors.

At the last meeting of the organization officers for the 1960 school year were nominated and at tomorrow's meeting the election will take place. Joan Leggetts, a junior secondary education major at Wilkes, has been nominated to the vice-presidency of the regional SPSEA organization. Each college chapter is allowed five votes in the election, and representatives from all liberal arts and state teachers colleges in the northeastern area will take part in the election. Retiring officers for the year are: Bob Kearns, Scranton University, president; Kathleen Purcell, Marywood, vice-president; Pat Fushek, Wilkes, secretary-treasurer. Name Has Been Changed In case the name of the organization or the symbols - SPSEA do not seem familiar, it was formerly known as the Student Education Association of P ennsylvania, or the SEAP, but at a recent meeting the name was changed by a unanimous vote of the members. The group felt that since it is the student chapter of the PSEA, it should adopt the name of the parent organization. e PENN BARBER SHOP e Next Door to Y.M.C.A. 4 Barbers at Your Service Jamea J.

The new plan calls for the early registration of seniors first, then registration by classes downward to the freshmen. This was explained as an attempt to see that each student gets at least one chance during his four years to be registered with a first choice in the making of his schedule. In the past, seniors often have been denied the chance to take electives because sections are quickly filled by underclassmen who must take the same courses as requirements. Also, the new idea for spacing out the registration crowd will facilita te each student's chance to realize a tailor-made program, if each student adheres to his pre-registration schedule. Seniors will be the first to register from 9 until 10 o'clock on the morning of January 29. Class determination will be by the Student Roster. Students entering 7th or 8th semesters will b e considered seniors. From 10 until 11, those entering their 5th and 6th semestersjuniors-will register, and sophomores-those entering 3rd or 4th H mesters-will register until Noon. All others will have from 1:00 until 2:30 p.m. to complete registration. All students are advised to see that their financial affairs are in order before attempting to register. Long Over-due Reform along the;;;e lines has been needed for a long time, b ut we must inject here the observation that, despite apparent hap::1a zard tactics in the past, there has been a steady speedingup p rocess taking place. Each semester found things progressing a bit mere smoo'hly in spite of constantly increasing enrollment. Students will probably hail the latest development as one of the final stages of a saner registration program, although we °' t th t there may be some initial unrest among the lower .,uspec a . . . . classes. We can only offer the consolation that therr time will come. .+ • • • • ♦ ••••••• ♦• ♦ •• Editor, Beacon Staff Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mr. Editor: I would like to thank all persons who joined the caravan to Scranton University and helped to make it a huge success. There were thirty cars in the caravan, and of these, ten entered the competition for best decorated car. I feel that I am correct in stating that a good time was had by all. Special thanks to Steve Robertson, my assistant in the venture. Dr. Farley also receives thanks for a cting as judge for the decorating competition. In addition to expressing gratitude for cooperation, I would like to comment on the article in last week's Beacon which covered the caravan. The first comment I have to make is that the caravan was ten minutes late in leaving, rather than 30 minutes as stated by your n).Jorter. This delay was caused by the large turnout which had not been anticipated. The second comment I have to make is that the article more aptly describes a drag race with cars "zooming around corners." S~ch was not the case_, ~or at no time was any spee~ hmit exceeded as there was a pohc_e escort every f?ot I of the way; Wilkes-Barre pohce, State Police, and Scranton police. I This leads to another comment, for the police were not primarily LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler concerned with getting us out of their hair as is implied in the article. The Wilkes-Barre escort led us over a route which enabled many -p eople to see the caravan. In doing this, he encountered more traffic signals, etc., than he had to. The Penna. State Police served as an escort for the primary purpose of safety, for their presence acted as a deterrent to speeding, passing, etc. At the Scranton city line we were met by a police cruiser driven by a traffic control sergeant. He led us through lights, in and out of traffic, and got us to the stadium in record time. Though the route covered was short, I would like to add that Chief Ruddy had proposed a route through the shopping district. I felt that this would involve too many problems for him and chose the shorter route. At that time he also stated that he would be willing to cooperate every two years as long as Wilkes plays at Scranton. I feel that the behavior of the drivers reflects their intelligence as college students. Though a few gave in to the horn-blowing urge, most observed the city ordinances of .Scranton and Wilkes-Barre which forbid horn-blowing. The sergeant who escorted us to the stadium remavked that he was glad that there weren't too many violations of this ordinance.

B. Reif Dear Mr. Reif: This letter is being written almost immediately after the incident which occurred in your 8 o'clock Biological Science class on Tuesday morning. l................................... Campus Observer I Friday, December 4, 1959 ARTILLERY PARK The administration has been attempting to lease Artillery Park in Kingston for use as a Wilkes athletic field. The lease must be granted by the State, and as yet, several politicians in Harrisburg have neglected to sign the necessary papers. The lease, once granted, is to be of long duration. For this reason, the administration has made certain plans to renovate the entire grounds of Artillery Park. First, the grandstand will be torn down completely, with the possibility of using certain sections for bleachers. The main part of the park will become a football stadium, with other sections devoted to tennis courts and other athletic facilities. The grounds are in dire need of care, but once they are landscaped, they should remain in good condition. The bleachers on the grounds at present in center field may or may not be used, depending on their condition. The approval of the politicos in Harrisburg is expected at any time. As soon as these signatures are received, work will begin at the park. To the Observer's knowledge, no name has yet been selected for our new athletic field. The Observer suggests that students submit their ideas on names for the field to this column. These entries will be published in this column, at which time the student body will be asked to make a selection. The entry chosen by the student body will then be submitted to the administration for approval. POLICIES QUESTIONED Did you observe the assembly program this past Tuesday? Several prominent and pertinent questions were asked, but were not really answered as much as they were explained. Dean Ralston's statement that athletic scholarships are not given because of "policy" does not answer the question. WHY is "policy" against athletic scholarships? Dean Cole also excused herself very nicely when asked about the 9 o'clock curfew for freshman females. Dean Cole stated that it was "policy" here when she arrived, and she merely continued it. WHY is it "policy"? What is the reasoning behind these policies? Mr. Robert Morris was asked a question concerning the shortage of space. He answered that plans have been formulated to remedy the situation next semester, but that doesn't help the students now. These plans should have been made previous to the start of this semester last Semester. The assembly session was far too short to answer all the ·questions. This column will attempt to answer these questions in the near future. STUDENT MAIL ROOM The student mail room is located in the basement of Chase Hall. An occasional visit to this room by students, both day and dorm students, would clear out a backlog of mail that has accumulated since the beginning of the semester. DOCTOR? An item of humorous interest appeared in the local papers recently: "DOCTOR George Ralston gave a short after-dinner speech. " Didn't know we had such a person on campus, did you? Russian Students Visit Temple U.; Discuss Soviet Education System - - .... by Steve Cooney Twelve Russian college students visiting various colleges in the United States were dinner guests recently of the Temple University's Student Council. At the dinner meeting they revealed many interesting facets of Russian education. As you fully reali.ze, you read a letter pertaining to you and your methods, whih was written in extremely bad taste. It was amazing, that a college senior had the gall to write such a childish letter. To us, Dr. Reif, a gross injustice has been done to you. We know that the "poison pen" child who claims to be a mature individual represents not even one per cent of your students. As far as his proposed duel with you is concerned, it is evident that the individual is a frustrated hero who has been watching too many adult westerns. •Only a neurotic individual would have had the gumption to write a letter of that type. Dr. Reif, we're with you. (Names withheld by request) Appreciative Students. I • •• "We have no colleges of business, arts or sciences," one of them said. "In Russia, the university is divided into faculties, and the course of study is given completely by professors who are academic experts in one area." Upon graduation from high school the Russian students are given tests to determine what field of interest they should enter. Once a Soviet student begins university study, he is completely subsidiz ed by the state. The most gifted students receive extra benefits and are given preference in many ways.

All members of the student body and faculty are invited to bring their musical instruments and join with Jack Melton to play in this session. Dance music for this gala affair will be supplied by Melton's orchestra. The band will specialize in jazz. However, there will be plenty of slow dances for those who don't Charleston, Black Bottom, or Jitterbug. The "Ramble" will sport a theme of the "Roaring Twenties" with all its traditional "flappers," "bathtub gin" and jazz. The members of the sponsoring dorms will be att ired in costumes of the fabulous 30's. However, costumes are not ·equired. Decorations will center around the "~eakeasy" theme. The refreshment committee is planning to serve its version of bathtub gin from a real bathtub. Refreshments will be free; however, a donation of 49 cents will be asked at the door to help cover expenses.

Girls Get a Kick Out of Practice by Sandy Biber "One, two, three, tap, kick, knee kick, all together now, group." If you happen to pass by the Commons some evening you'll probably see a group of bermuda-clad coeds energetically kicking their heels in a sort of unison to the above directions. This group will perform its routines at athletic events, the Winter Carnival and any other function at which it is asked to perform. These girls have organized themselves into a "kick-line" under the leadership of Jan Bronson, junior in education from Sweet Valley. Miss Bronson, who is a transfer student from West Chester State Teachers College, was in a "kickline" there and decided to introduce the idea to Wilkes. This group, which consists of about 20 coeds practice every Monday and Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. on the second floor of the Commons. Most of the practice is concerned with coordination and precision. As any man probably knows it is pretty difficult to get 20 women to do the same thing at the same time and on time. Miss Patricia Lutz, sophomore in music education from Hazleton, is the a ccompanist for the kick-line.

The following appeared in the sports section of the Maryland "Diamondback" after the Wilkes upset victory over Susquehanna last month. "SENTIMENTAL FA VO RITE: Last Thursday the DBK predicted the outcome of 31 college gridiron clashes. Included was one small college game billed as a "sentimental favorite." In this one, favored Susquehanna played underdog Wilkes. The contest was printed strictly as a laugh. "The DBK sports staff picked Wilkes on the basis of a comparative score. The only common opponent for the two was Ursinus. Susquehanna had slaughtered Ursinus 63 to O while Wilkes had its hands full but finally won, 25-15. On this common ground it figured that Wilkes would be ground to ashes at the hands of Susquehanna. "Thus Wilkes illogically received the nod as the tearful choice. The result? You guessed it. Wilkes 12, Susquehanna 7. Amen brother, Amen." COLLEGE BEACON Shawneeites Defeat Honeymooners, 26-6; Take Touch Grid Title by George Tensa The Shawneeites caJptured their s e c o n d consecutive Intramural touch football championship by downing a game Honeymooner squad, 26-6. This contest was a ·'do or die" bid by both teams for league laurels as they ended the season with identical records of ti wins and 1 loss. John 1v1attey started the scoring when he pulled in a Clem Gavenas pass and scampered 45 yards !or the Honeymooner score. This run was one of the most exciting gallops of the season as "Crazy Legs' " broken field runnmg coruused the entire Shawneeite secondary. This was the lone score of the tirst quarter as the Shawneeite defense held and Ralph "the Toe" Hendershot's punting for the Honeymooners kept the Shawnee1tes deep in their own territory. Early in the second stanza Tom Pugh hit Don lVJ.attey with a 36yard pass and then arched a TD pass to "Tosh" Karmilowicz. The try for the extra point was unsuccessful and the score remained knotted, 6-6, at halftime, although the Honeymooners did muster another threat. This threat was thwarted .by George Tensa as he intercepted a pass in the end zone. Tensa struck again in the third quarter when he intercepted his third pass of the game and legged it into touchdown land. The play was set up by the hard charging Shawneeite line of Ronnie Roski, Yorath Evans, and 'Mountain Man' Salsburg. A pass for the extra point was successful when Tom Evans made a beautiful catch of a Walt Ciolek pass. The Shawneeites scored again in the third quarter after Clancy Dennis deflected a Honeymooner pass into the hands of Ken Thomas who returned the interception to the 20 yard line. Again the Pugh to Karmilowicz combo clicked and the Shawneeites enjoyed a 19-6 lead at the end of the third quarter. A "sleeper pass' from Walt Ciolek to Tom Pugh accounted for the fourth Plymouth score and Jim Stevens' pass to "Rabbit" Polanowski accounted for the extra point. The ,Shawneeites captured the crown with their valiant 26-6 vie tory and accepted a bid to oppose the Colonel football team in the Kernel Bowl.

A "hefty" Colonel varsity football squad was a thirteen point favorite over a gallant Shawneeite team in the first bowl classic. The first quarter went scoreless with a strong Colonel line, boasting "Jungle Jim" Brunza and Freddy Williams, keeping the Shawneeites off balance and a Shawnee secondary knocking down Schutter's passes. Tom Krisulevicz scored for the Colonels early in the second quarter as he followed the "flying wedge" into the end zone. Rich Rees pulled extra point. Late in the same stanin a Marv Antinnes aerial for the za Bill Schutter hit Al Dobrowalski with a pass and behind some nice blocking by Ray Marchakaitus and "Mustang" Marv, Al scored the second TD. Score at halftime was 14-0 in favor of the Colonels. In the middle of the third quarter George Tensa intercepted a Colonel pass and this set up the Shawneeites' initial score. Tom Pugh hit Kenny Thomas and the lanky end outdistanced the Colonel defenders in a 65 yard pass play. The attempt for the extra point was blocked by Brunza. Late in the final stanza the Shawneeites scored again after Tom Pugh recovered a fumble on the six inch line. A pass from Ciolek to Karmilowicz accounted for the touchdown but again the attempt for the extra point failed and the game ended with the Colonels victorious, 14-12. T.D.R.

Colonel Bowlers Test Bloomsburg "Five" Girls' Basketball Season to Open by Lynne Dente Miss Marita Zoolkoski, girls' basketball coach, recently welcomed a banner turnout of 26 aspirants for the starting positions on the team. A schedule has been arranged and will include the teams of Moravian, Muhlenberg, and Misericordia. However, the girls saw action Wednesday in a scrimmage with Wyoming Seminary. Miss Zoolkoski, in her coaching debut, has some fine prospects to work with this season especially among the large turnout of frosh. She urges the students and faculty to lend their support to the team by attending both the home and away games. Home games will be played at the gymnasium and no admission will be charged. An unofficia.l Colonel bowling team travels to Bloomsburg on Sunday to tackle the Huskies of BSTC at the Midway Lanes. Both teams are composed of the leading scorers of each college's intramural bowling league. This is the first venture by either college into competiti ve bowling, a new idea in local intercollegiate sporting events. The match is billed as an "inter-intramural" affair, neither team having any official san ction or recognition as representative of its school. Plans are for the two teams to r: eet again in a return match in \'i ilkes-Barre within a short time. Site of the match will be the Jewish Comm unity Center, with Jimmy's Central Lanes and Kingston Lanes a s alternates in case of conflict. Repr esenting the Wilkes co-ed lea gue will be Dan Lewis, Emil Pet asek, Dave Sokira, Bill Watkins and Dick Myers. Alternate memt ers of the team are Fred Jacoby, Joh n a pi ego and Jerry Chisarick. Tea m members are reported to be in . est igating other matches to keep a ull schedule. One reason for the int er collegiate venture is to promote interest among the students in bowling, particularly in the int ra n:ural program. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL NOTICE This is the final call for Intramural basketball rosters. Rosters plus captain's name must be turned in to Mr. Reese no later than December 11.

A clean sweep victory by the Gutterdusters over the Kingpins highlighted the events of the evening. The victory dropped the Kingpins from second to fourth place, and put the Gutterdusters, formerly in fourth place, into a second place tie with the Blitzkriegs. In other contests, the Blitzkriegs defeated the Flatballs, 3-1, and the Pinbusters copped three points from the Smashers. Dan Lewis and Bernie Shupp led their victorious Gutterdusters with a 200-559 and 170-486. Jerry Kulesa, 173-430, and Tom Dysleski, 157-418, were high for the losers. Fred Jacoby rolled a 235-529 to help his Blitz.kri egs in their drive for first .place. Dave Godsiskowski helped with a 179-487. John Mattey was high for the Flatba.Jls with a 189-501. Jerry Chisarick stayed close behind with a 194-484. Dave Sokira regained his old form Sunday as he toppled a 245617. Along with Emil Petrasek, 162-4'68, he enabled the Pinbusters to hold on to first place. John Sapiego, 175-462, and Mark Adelson, 155-437, were high men for the last place Smashers.

OPEN WITH VICTORY The Colonels defeated the Susquehanna Crusaders in their opening game Wednesday night, 73-66, on the latter's court. Wilkes grabbed a 43-38 halftime lead as a result of an all-court defense against the Crusaders whkh paid off in the point colu:nn for the Davismen. Susquehanna came back to tie the score in the second half at 5959, and then took the lead at 67-64. However, a last minute spurt by the Colonels brought the victory to Wilkes, 73-69. George Gacha was high man with 26 points, and Be:-n!e Radecki tallied 14 counters. Home Opener Eddie Davis' charges will give the home fans their first look at Wilkes basketball Monday night when they meet the Juniata Indians in the college gymnasium at 8:15. Coach Arnold Greene wel : omed back only two lettermen from last season's team which won 13 games while dropping 9. The returnees are Jack Heading, a junior from Johnstown, Pa. and Steve Gerlo: k, sophomore from Mount Union, _'a . Heading led the team in scorin 6 an J rebounding in his freshman yea . and should be the biggest threat in the Juniata lineup.

Because of the liberal turnout, the party was quite successful. General chairman for the affair was Bianca Moscato. Publicity was handled by Carol Tangora and arrangements for refreshments were made by Mary Ann Lee. An Oriental atmosphere was supplied by Chinese decorations and the Chapman girls wearing oriental apparel. Further adding to the Oriental flavor were Japanese low tables and cushions for those having refreshments. Dance music was provided by the Ambassadors. During the party, the Chapmanites presented an unparallelled floor show. Annette Barbini danced a jazz interpretation to begin the production. Her act was followed by two piano solos by Tom Hrynkiw. A hula and chorus line, composed of Chapman girls, were the climax of the extravaganza. by Doug Keating An open house will be held at Parrish and Chapman Halls, South River Street, this afternoon from four to six.

Pat Fushek, senior Elementary Education major, and Joan Leggetts and Diane Yudiskas, junior secondary Education majors, attended a meeting of the lntercollege Education Association at the University of Scranton. Applications for loans for the coming spring semester will be available on the first floor of Chase Hall today until December 18. A sample application will also be ost ed. Any student who has a -;uestion regardin g the loans should :ee Mr. Morris, whose office is located on the first floor of Chase Hall. A co.mmittee composed of most of the members of the administra°tion will evaluate the a,pplications. Grants will be made on the basis of need, and each candidate must have an a Yerage of at least 1.85. The application of any student whose grades are in doubt will be held until the grades for the present semester are received in order to make a fair evaluation. Although some preference will be given to students majoring in education, engineering, mathematics, n:odern foreign languages, or science, the basic criterion for determining who shall receive a loan will be the n eed of the student. If a student who receives a loan becomes a teacher in a public elementary or secondary school a fter graduation, the paym·ent of his loan will be reduced 10 per cent a year up to a maximum of 50 p er cent. For example, if a student borrows $1 ,000 over a period of four years and enters the t ea : hing Deld, his payment will be reduced ,,100 plus interest every year for his first five years of teaching. The remaining $500 may be paid within ten years after graduation. It should also be noted that interest does not accrue while the student is in college, in graduate school, or in the armed forces for a period up to three years, nor does r~avment begin during this period. If a person who make a loan becomes disabled or dies, the unpaid °l:::alance of the loan is cancelled. If a student transfers to another college which is participating in this program, the student's records regarding the loan will also be transferred.

Kool Yool Ramble Tomorrow; Speakeasy Theme Prevails 11 11 by Leona Baiera Grab your rqccoon coat, bring your swinging horn, and come to the "Kool Yool Ramble", the latest of many recent campus-wide dorm parties. This affair will arouse the campus tomorrow night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., after the Wilkes-Wagner basketball game and will be held in McClintock Hall. School Spirit Committee Backs Christmas Caroling McC!intock and Barre Hall have combined forces to sponsor this party which will featur e a "Jam Session," the first public jam session on campus in recent years. All members of the student body and faculty are invited to bring their own musical instruments and join with Jack Melton and his band and "let their hair down." Although the Melton orchestra is well-known for its appearances at campus formals, it will assume another role when it brings jaz,z to tomorrow's night's party. However, students attending will find that a variety of dances - fox trots, cha-chas, polkas, and jitterbugs - has been planned by the program committee. McC!intock Hall will be t emporarily transformed into a "speakeasy," complete with "flappers," " bathtub gin," and jazz. Several surprises, designed to startle and amuse all party-goers, will be on the agenda. Refreshments and "good cheer" will be free, but a nominal 49 cent donation will be required from each person attending, to help cover expenses. Committee heads for the party are: general chairmen, Augusta Sidari and Gene Stickler; general coordinator, Les Andres; decorations, Janie Palka, Owen Francis, Vince Capo; refreshments, Claire Handler , George Gavales; tickets, Sylvia Natt, Rich Friedberg; publicity, Ann Curley, Bill Hunt. by Wayne Thomas The Christmas Caroling project is the major item on the School Spirit a genda for next week.

Alice Bailey, chairman of the caroling committee, has announced that approximately one hundred songbooks are available for the carolers. After leaving the gym, the carolers will sing at all the dormitories, and at the residences of Dr. Farley and Dean Cole. Donuts and cocoa will be served at Chapman Hall, which is the last building to b'c! visited by the carolers. Jim Stephens' chairman of the committee, announced that there will be no meeting next week due to the busy holiday schedule of events.

KC Opens New Building; Library, Science Units Included in Structure by Steve Cooney King's College's new Science Building was formally dedicated at exercises held last Sunday at the college. The ultra-modern fourstory structure was built at a cost of $1,125,000. The basement of the building contains the new cafeteria, which has facilities for the entire student body. On the main floor of the new structure is the new auditorium which has a complete stereophonic sound system and a seating capacity of 500. Also included on the main floor is a huge lobby for the use of theatre-goers at intermission. The second and third floors are devoted to biology, physics, and chemistry labs and classrooms. The new library takes up the entire fourth floor. This new addition to the college is adjacent to the main building on North River Street. Before the dedication exercises an open house was held for the public. IDC Plans Yule Party; Refreshments, Dancing Highlight Seasonal Affair by Steve Cooney The Inter-Dormitory All Student Christmas Party - a traditional part of campus Christmas celebration - will be held next Thursday evening from 9 to 12 in the Commons. As in the past, there will be no charge for the evening of festivities, and although the party is being held by the IDC, it is open to the ENTIRE STUDENT BODY. Music for the evening will be furnished by the Dynamics, and members of the faculty have promised to provide entertainment. The buffet style m enu for the evening will include Christmas "goodies," sandwiches, cookies, sweets, coffee, and soda. Pat Belardinella is general chairman of the affair, and each of the dormitories is responsible for providing some aspect of the evening's entertainment. by Jay Olexy A Christmas panorama, complete with myriads of colored lights, stately evergreen trees with shimmering icicles ... a g igantic, fluffyw bite snowman . .. a colorful winter snow scene ... and a canopy of f esti ve blue and white streamers will unfold at the gymnasium tonight. This will be the setting for the thirteenth annual Christmas Formal, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club. The "socialites" attending will waltz to the music of Lee Vincent and his orchestra from 9 p.m. to midnight. They will be received at the door by Dean and Mrs. George Ralston, Dr. and Mrs. Harold Thatcher, Dr. and Mrs. John Gaito, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Morgan, and Messers. Carl Havira, Ray Yanchus, and their dates. General co-chairmen for tonight's affair, Joe Morgan and Carl Havira, have worked diligently to insure that the high standards of entertainment and pageantry, outstanding in past formals, will be met this year. Jim N eddoff and Ron Simms, heading the decorations committee, have come up with some unusual ideas which are sure to add to everyone's enjo yment of the holiday season. Supplementing the huge snowman in the center of the gym will be a small imitation brick wall around the bandstand which will be incorporated into the winter scene. The area between the wall and the bandstand will be blanketed with snow rising to the level of the stage. The whole effect will be crowned with a canopy of blue and white streamers which will extend over the dance area. In addition to the dazzling panorama, each table will be adorned with small "yule logs" and candles. The women of TDR have voluntarily aided in this project. Special credit and a word of thanks go to Frank Polanowski and Clancy Dennis, who painted the beautiful backdrop, which will feature a typical "Currier and Ives" winter scene. Joe Hiznay, program chairman, and Eddie Kemps, favors chairman, have helped to make the occasion a memorable one for every young lady attending. Each lady will receive an attractive program to add to her college "memoirs,'' and Santa will be on hand to present her with "something extra." The intermission program will again feature the singing of Christmas music by the Lettermen, under the direction of Mr. John Detroy. Millie Gittins, "most esteemed" honorary member of the club, will accompany. Bob Chew and Barry Yocum, ticket co-chairmen, r emind those still wishing to attend that tickets will be sold at the door. Price is $4.00 per couple. Other committee heads are: Pat Shovlin, refreshments; Lou Davis, invitations; Jay Olexy, chaperons; Marvin Antinnes and Paul Aquilino, publicity. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Friday, December 11, 1959 IXIIIXIIIXXIIXIIXIIIXIXX EDITORIALS A Vicious Circle Letter to the Editor ... comment on any but campus affairs. For reasons too lengthy to discuss here, we have adhered to that policy but only while waiting to observe general trends in campus conversations concerning non-campus topics. The recent steel strike and its resulting tie-up in the industrial output of the Nation, have demonstrated clearly a development toward insane headlong drives into the realization of Mr. Khrushchev's "overtaking" boasts. .Through constantly rising wage demands the unions are forcing the price of goods made by their members so high that they can't compete with foreign goods. American manufacturers then tum to automation to make their products more cheaply, or quit making their products. Either way, the employee is out of work. In areas such as ours, traditionally strong for labor, this trend has led to growing unrest in the minds of citizens, union members included, concerning the misuse or abuse of power by the unions. Government then comes along to swing its axe through taxes to drain off job-making capital and through inflationary spending that destroys savings. There can be no jobs unless somebody saves enough money to buy the tools, plant, and raw materials for employees to work with. In a vicious circle, high taxes mean less to be saved, while inflation means that more money must be saved for necessary equipment, thus crippling the saving and investing process which creates jobs. If government and union officials intend to see "full employment," they had better drop ''I'll eat my hat" statements and take another long look at their plans. Unfortunately we have no solution to offer. Breaking a vicious circle is a vicious task. As college students, leaders in the too-soon-here future, we must be aware of these dangerous practices. We should observe, discuss and consider the trends and all possible angles for solutions. If the pendulum swing from the Industrial Revolution's management abuses to today's labor unions' excessive power is to be set at rest somewhere near a median point, government must be wary when fooling with the adjustment mechanism. Government, labor, management-tomorrow that's us-had better stop pointing fingers at each other and start pointing towards the future. * * * * * Editor, Beacon Staff Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mr. Editor: Like, I want to thank the students of Wilkes College for their participation and co-operation in making the "Beatnik Bop" such a swinging affair. The response to the theme was the greatest and the atmosphere created by the students the most. Again, "thanks" to the student body. Sincerely, John G. Gavazzi Pres., Psych.-Soc. Club It has been a general policy on the Beacon to avoid editorial IIIIIIIXXIIIIIXIIXIIIXXI Before You Register One of the reasons for speedier and more efficient registration has been the elimination of the Finance tie-up in the gym. This was accomplished by the department accepting payments in advance and giving the student a stub receipt. With the new policies revealed last week, we see that positive steps toward faster registration continue. Before you register, however, you would do well to pay a visit to the Finance office to do as you did in September-pay. No student will be allowed to pass the first desk if he doesn't have his receipt. Payment is set, as in September, at a minimum of $100. Mrs. Connolly has announced that the receipts will be ready for use following the Christmas holidays, giving everyone ample time to pay early and avoid lengthy lines and unnecessary delays. As in the start of the Fall semester, anyone paying by mail will have his receipt sent to the Registrar's office, where the receipt will be held for the student. Any student whose tuition is paid by an outside agency must report to the Finance office early to check with Mrs. Connolly on the payments which will be made for him. Dormitory residents are reminded that registration time means that dorm fee payments are due also. Another reminder for both day and dorm students is that the insurance paid for at the start of the school year runs until June. No further payment is required on either the $7 accident or the $21.50 health insurance programs. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Lettermen's Club Christmas Formal - Tonight, 9 - . ' Gymnasium.

Dues, Charity, Buffet Major Items for TDR There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts The evidence of moral malnutrition lies around us in every college and community as a result of the dictates of the public enemies who make money out of moral defeat and care not a darn for the hell on earth they cause. Addressing the Asian and African nations recently, Mr. Khrushchev, referring to his visit to a Hollywood show, said, "If that display of pornography was any example of American morals, I foresee an easy task in burying the Americans in their own defeat." Today atomic war is a threat so terrible that men shudder to think of it. Yet there is a ·p enetration into the heart of society that promises a slower but more effective extinction. Moral decadence has defeated many civilizations before ours. A wise man would not argue that better schooling and antibiotics have cured this growing cancer in modern life. These two tragic destinies, atomic war and moral decadence, must be understood and the answer-moral rearmament-brought with the utmost speed on a world scale. The strength of a nation is measured by its fight for purity. When this moral bastion goes, decay creeps through the whole society. Then honesty depends only on the possibility of getting caught. Loyalty lasts only as long as it is expedient. Cooperation must pay an obvious cash dividend, or give way to "every man for himself." Then moral judgement becomes the matter of a daily plebiscite, and what is morally good becomes identical with what the crowd wants and accepts. What a man ought or ought not to do becomes determined, not by moral standdards, but by the whims of the people. Moral awareness of the student is less easily explained. Students are apprentices in that noble work of finding and proclaiming the truth, not tried by the demands of society, by and large, to compromise their moral convictions; they look to the professor as a disciple looks to the master. IT HAPPENED HERE What happens when a Wilkes student of presumably superior intelligence and breeding, supposedly sensitive to the moral issue of truth, finds that he was wantonly accusing his professor of the same things he was doing himself? First, he realized that he was part of a group that betrayed the people around him by telling them what they wanted to hear and not what was right. Secondly, this Wilkes student went to his professor and apologized for defaming his moral standing. This student told the professor how he had criticized him for his morally questionable methods of teaching. At first the professor was silent; then he thanked the student for coming to him and related some of his own experiences. From then on a new cordial relationship developed between the student and professor simply because the student changed. No longer is the student blasphemous and the professor has changed his teaching methods. Today the lives of many people alternate between the excitements and depressions of immorality in every form because the modern world is full of deliberate appeals to sexual stimulation. In this age moral obtuseness signifies the beginning of the end of civilized society and is evidenced by self-centeredness and immaturity. There is an answer for the man or woman who is seeking to breaik the chain of enslavement to their desires. If their danger is falling off cliffs, why walk along the edge? People know well enough what books, pictures, and associations to avoid. Leave one weak spot in the dike and the whole land may be flooded. The progress of defeat is the look, the thought, the fascination, and the fall. The progression is best stopped after the look-the first one. If we do not look at the wrong thing, we may have a better chance to think the right thing. "Sow a thought, reap an act; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap destiny." YOU ARE . . . OR YOU ARE NOT Moral Re-Armament has no membership. You are in or out of it according to the quality of life you live. No dues are paid. Contributions by various people finan ce the movement. M.R.A. means honesty purity, unselfishness, and love-absolutely, personally, and nationall/ M.R.A. means power to change people--our enemies as well as our friends-the other fellow and the other nation. It is God's gift to bring an insane world to sanity. by Jean Shofranko A surprisingly large number of TDR members "braved the elements" Monday evening to attend the combination monthly meeting and Christmas party of the sorority. President Beverly Butler began the discussion of old business by complimenting Augusta Sidari and members of committees on the success of the Old People's Party held last Saturday. Miss Butler reminded members that each coed must pay her dues and meet membership requirements each semester in order to remain in good standing in the sorority. Barbara Bachman, chairman of the annual Christmas buffet, announced that plans were near completion. She reported that the buffet will be held on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Commons. Next on the agenda was a report by Doris Gademan, chairman, who announced that the main projects for December concern the Salvation Army. Members have volunteered to "man" kettles in Central City on December 10 and contribute and distribute gifts at the Salvation Army's Children's Christmas Party to be held at the Citadel W ednesday. A report on School Spirit activities was given and members unanimously agreed to purchase an ad in the 1960 edition of the Amnicola. Miss Butler began the discussion of new business with a request for m embers to aid the Lettermen in decorating the gymnasium for the Christmas Formal to be held tonight. The possibility of holding a bake sale in January was discussed next. Since the TDR treasury must be supplemented by a money-making project, members decided to take immediate steps in planning the sale. Claire Handler, chairman, requested full cooperation from members. After the business meeting members enjoyed a Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged, punch Sunday, December 13, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the and cookies were served, and carols Wilkes College gymnasium will open its doors to an expected were sung. large audience which will come to hear fifty young musicians Symphonelle lo Make Debut; Three Wilkes Students Featured Novices Take 2nd Place; Future Contests Awaited by Ralph Price Last Saturday the Wilkes College novice debating team placed second in the 13th Annual Temple Novice Debating Tournament. This tournament was held at Temple University in Philadelphia and 56 schools competed. Wilkes was edged out .by Dartmouth who had an 8-0 record. Wilkes' record stood at 7-1. The affirmative debators, Barry O'Connell and Jerry Krasa, defeated Misericordia, Fordham, and Villanova, while losing to Seton Hall. The negative t eam of Brent O'Connell and Francis Riofski defeated Rutgers, St. Elizabeth's, N.Y.U., and Brooklyn College.

CITY SHOE REPAIR WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Dutchmen lo Display Tall Team; Cagers Face Strong Texlile Quinlel in Road Tilt Wednesday RECORD WIN Wilkes opened its home campaign Monday with a 71-63 win over the Juniata Indians. The victory was the third of the present season for the Colonels and also the seventh in a row going back to the four wins posted at the end of last year. This is a new school record for successive basketball wins. The record of six victories was set in 1947 and later tied by the 1957 team twice. Once again it was guard George Gacha who paced the Wilkes scoring attack. Gacha tallied 13 points to emerge as high man for the evening. Forward Barry Yocum was a giant off the boards and also scored 11 points to finish as runnerup to Gacha in scoring. Ron Roski was the only other Colonel to hit double figures. Roski scored 10 points. Wilkes Pinmen Defeat Bloomsburg, 2624-2380; Meet Again in Kingston The Wilkes bowlers, winners in their first "inter-intramural" bowling contest, will meet Bloomsburg State Teachers College in a return match on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. This will be match game competition, total pins to determine the winner. Scene of the action will be alleys 7 and 8 at the Kingston Lanes, Wyoming Avenue, Kingston The newly expanded lanes are equipped with ample seating arrangements to handle spectators for the meet. Colonels Strike Quickly In last week's match, the Wilkesmen opened fast to roll up an eve~ 900 points, sparked by Dan Lewis 228 and Dic,k Myers' 201. The Huskies were beset by bad breaks and could only muster 726 pins Final score was Wilkes 2624, BSTC 2380. Wilkes widened the gap in the second game as Emil Petrasek 207, Dave Sokira 201, and Lewis with 197 led the 903-807 win. Weakening in the closing frames of the third game, the locals dropped an 847-821 decision. Tom Payne, with 189-535, and Jim Wagner, 196-483, were top scorers for the Huskies. Scoring: Wilkes: Lewis 609, Sokira 520, Myers 508, Bill Watkins 177-494, and Petrasek 493. BSTC: Payne 536, Wagner 483, Harry Criswell 168-464, John Huda 180-459, and Bud Weber 158-439. 1111111111111111 II IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII You Are Cordially Invited The basketball team meets two of its most admirable foes of -the season in the next few days when they engage Wagner College tomorrow night in the college gymnasium and then journey to Philadelphia on Wednesday to play Philadelphia Textile Institute. Wagner comes to Wilkes with a tall team, led by John Orlando, senior guard, who has been the sparkplug of the squad for the past three seasons. Orlando was hampered with a leg injury most of the last campaign but seems to have recovered sufficiently and is expected to see lots of action this year. The Dutchmen will also depend upon 6'6" center Bob Junta to aid their rebounding game. Junta ranked high among Wagner's scorers last year and led the team in rebounds. The Colonels were beaten by Wagner last year, 70-62, on the latter's court on Staten Island, New York. Wednesday the team goes to the City of Brotherly Love to take on Philadelphia Textile Institute. Textile has been coming up with fine teams year after year and this season figures to be no exception. The Weavers have posted two victories already but were defeated by Long Island University in their last outing, 83-78. Senior Bob Simons, is one of the leading scorers on the team and has always spelled trouble for the Colonels. Simons tallied 21 against L.I.U. Herb Magee, a freshman from West Catholic High School in Phila delphia, has provided the Weavers with added scoring punch and ranks as one of the leading point-getters on the squad. Magee scored 22 in the L.I.U. game. Wilkes has been rough on Tex tile the past two years, having de feated them twice and last season eliminating them from a possible small college post tournament bid with an 83-69 defeat. Friday's Results Clem Gavenas' second half scor ing s·purt lead the the Colonels to a 70-64 win over the Lycoming Warriors last Friday at Williams port. Wilkes trailed at halftime, 37-33, but Gavenas got hot and made 6 of 8 long two-hand set shots to spark the team to their 70-64 victory. Gavenas was the leading scorer with 18 points along with guard George Gacha who also tallied 18, ten of which came in the second half. Bernie Radecki made 11 of 14 foul shots and finished with 13 points. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -· T.D.R. NOTICE TDR Is collecting toys for underprivileged children.

President John Mulhall presided. The major portion of discussion centered around suggestions for the class gift and the possibility of having a class dinner-dance next semester. Christine Winslow mentioned several popular ideas for a class gift. She then explained the administration''s adverse response to all of them and proposed some new ideas. A spirited discussion ensued. John Mulhall then asked for discussion on a class dinner-dance. Discussion was favorabl e, and a motion to have a class dinner-dance on March 4 was passed. Gil Davis, junior class president, appeared at the meeting to outline plans for the forthcoming Louis Armstrong jazz concert which will be presented next spring. Davis asked for volunteers to sell tickets for this affair and thus insure its success. Frank Edwards, Amnicola editor, explained the need for student support in financing the yearbook. A motion to purchase a $30 ad in the yearbook was passed by the class. This motion concluded new business and the m eeting was adjourned. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING The Junior Class held its meeting last Tuesday in the auditorium of the First Presybterian Church. The most important issue discussed was the proposed hiring of a 'big name' for a jazz concert in early April. After some discussion the class unanimously voted to engage Louis Armstrong if plans for this concert are approved. The fact was mentioned that this band would cost more, of course, than any other band previously appearing at Wilkes. For this reason one hundred and fifty people are being asked to promise to try to sell ten tickets each to insure the success of this venture. Tickets will sell for about two dollars each. This is considered a moderate price for an evening of entertainment by a famous musician. Campus and local participation will be necessary to insure the success of this and anticipated future projects. SOPHOMORE CLASS by Marilyn Krackenfels The Sophomore Class meeting, held Tuesday at the Jewish Community Center, centered around the discussion of several class projects slated for the near future. The first of these, a Christmas party for some of the underprivileged children in the area will be handled entirely by the students in conjunction with the Valley welfare agencies. The children will be treated to a party in their honor and each presented with a personal gift. Mike Bianco is in charge. The second project on the class agenda is the sale of second-hand books during mid-semester. The book committee, headed by Judy Butchko, will collect books during and after finals, catalogue, price, and have them ready for sale before the second semester. The basement of Stark Hall will be used for the collection and distribution center. Gil Davis, president of the Junior Class, requested that the sophomores aid in the advance sale of tickets necessary before the Junior Class can proceed with its plans to bring Louis Armstrong on campus. Old business attended to was the presentation of bowling trophies to Sally Smith and Bill Watkins who attained the highest women's and men's bowling scores at last year's class outing. Sandy Sidari accepted the award for Miss Smith. Friday, December 11, 1959 ----------------------=----------Winter Carnival at PMI; FRESHMAN CLASS by Lynne Dente The second meeting of the class of '63 was opened .by the class president, Steve Robertson, who introduced Gil Davis, president of the Junior Class. Gil spoke to the class about the possibility of bringing Louis Armstrong and his band to the Wilkes campus on April 2, 1960. In order to secure Mr. Armstrong's services for the evening, Dr. Farley has stipulated that 200 people must sell 10 tickets apiece. A paper was passed and signed by students who felt they would be able to sell the tickets. The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting, and the treasurer reported a $65 profit from the Freshman Dance on December 4. Jim Walters, a student government representative, reported that the class constitution was submitted to and accepted by the Student Government. He told the class that the Student Government is preparing an activity calendar for the benefit of the students .Walters also mentioned that all students who are interested in helping prepare for the Winter Carnival should sign the notice on the bulletin board. Brent O'Connell expressed a desire for more participation at class functions. STUDENT LOAN NOTICE National Defense Student Loan forms are now available in Mr. Morris' office on the first floor of Chase Hall. All applications must be returned by Friday, December 18.

Among the gifts distributed were a large number of toys collected by sorority members. Instead of repairing toys solicited on campus, as was done last year, the coeds set up a collection box at Chapman Hall. Sorority members who distributed the toys reported that they had a very enjoyable time entertaining the children and selecting appropriate toys for the various age groups.

This machine, which in reality is a bacteria "crusher," was created by Hanover students, under the supervision of Hanover's biology department. The crusher operates by applying pressure to plastic tubes, which contain both the bacteria and quantities of microscopic glass beads. The bacteria are crushed, then these harmless bacteria are used to study the possibility of creating immunizing drugs from the harmless bacteria. Members of the Wilkes faculty directing this research project are Dr. Sheldon Cohen and Mr. Calvin Freeman.

Legal? Today is the deadline for application for loans under the National Defense Education Act. According to Robert Morris, who is in charge of distributing these applications, only 23 have applied for aid under the Federal program. Last Spring 70 applied. Mr. Morris states that there is a danger that the Wilkes appropriation under the act may be cut if the response doesn't come up to expectations. We can scarcely believe that our college has become a haven for financially independent students. Furthermore, we suspect that there must be some valid reason for the lack of interest in picking up aid to further one's education. Some inkling of the reasons behind the hesitancy may be seen in the public skepticism concerning the act expressed by high-ranking government officials, including President Eisenhower. In a report prepared by the Harverd "Crimson" recently, the center of dissatisfaction seems to be section lO0l(f) of the N.D.E.A. This is the famous-or infamous-"loyalty oath" provision which has caused seven prominent colleges to refuse even to participate in the Title II loan program. They were: Princeton, Haverford, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Amherst, Antioch, and Reed. Later, Oberlin, Harvard and Yale reconsidered their participation, withdrew, and returned the funds that .had been granted to them. The main objection seems to be that under Title II loans, each institution is given a certain lump sum to distribute to its students as it deems proper. Therefore, the institutions do more than send in the applications, they directly administer the loyalty provision. Furthermore, Title II of the N.D.E.A. is the only program of its kind which requires matching funds from the college. In effect, this means that the college not only administers the loyalty provision for the government; it must also require an oath and affidavit in return for its own money. Dr. William P. Fidler, testifying before a Senate committee on behalf of the American Association of University Professors, stated the A.A.U.P.'s objections to the disclaimer affidavit: "First, our belief that it is a denial of due process of law to compel an individual to gauge his conduct by such vague criteria, when criminal liability may tum on his action; second, our grave doubts as to the constitutionality of a provision which may infringe upon the first amendment protection of freedom of belief and association; third, our repugnance against test oaths of any kind; and fourth, our particular objection as educators to being singled out and being required to testify that we are not being disloyal." The matter certainly bears closer investigation. While few loyal citizens would refuse to swear to their loyalty, any man would .object to having to prove his loyalty to the United States, particularly when a subversive agent at whom the provision is aimed would not hesitate to perjure himself, oaths be damned. The disclaimer affidavit suggests a lack of confidence in youth by its government through means of a device which is ineffective at best, and perhaps unconstitutional.

Read fices appear in the "Dean's Corner" them and heed them DAILY. of the College bulletin board behind December 14, 1959 Dear Editor: Last Friday's edition of the Beacon included an article concerning the compulsory class meetings held last week. The portion of the article dealing with the meeting of the senior class included a resume of a report submitted by myself concerning the work of the class gift committee. The resume, which stated that my r eport included an explanation of the administration's adverse response to all the suggestions proposed for a class gift, was rather inaccurate. In my report, I stated that Mr. Picton, who has been kind enough to work with the committee, gave us some comments, from the administration's viewpoint, concerning the suggestions that had been made. It was felt that some of these suggestions were not suitable as a class gift. However, other suggestions were favorably commented upon and additional ones were made concerning areas which my committee had overlooked. Since I am convinced that the inaccuracy arose from the condensation of news which is necessitated by a number of characteristics peculiar to the press medium, I feel that the opportunity to use this column to correct this inaccuracy sufficiently deals with the matter. Sincerely, Christine Winslow "To The Campus Observer: December 8 1959 We the undersigned believe that there should be some change' as to the date of registration between semesters. As of now, most dormitory stude~ts have to travel back to school during their between-semester vacat10n, many as far as 200 miles. This is a great inconvenience and we definitely feel that some change should be made. We feel that a 'good date would be that of a dormitory students' last final exam. This would only pertain to dormitory students." The above was signed by many students from several dormitori es. The Observer talked with Mr. Whitby about the situation; Mr. Whitby made the point that the above example would not be fair to other students. He offered the suggestion that dorm students have another student register for them. The idea also arose for dorm students to fill out the large schedule blocks as much as possible before registration leaving on!! the actual classes to be fill ed in by the other students who would register dorm s!ud~nts. This would be a registration by "proxy." Another obJecbon to the plan proposed by the dorm students is that students would not know at final exams if they had passed all their courses or not. Failure in one course alone would disrupt the early registration. The administi:ation . reali~es the hardship that is felt by dorm stustudents due to this_ reg1st~·at10n plan. If any worthwhile suggestion is brought forth to reheve this hardship, and still be fair to ALL students the Observer is certain it will he used. It must be considered from not only the student angle, but also from the viewpoint of the faculty and the administration. APPOINTMENT "POLICY" Have you ever made an appointment with a member of the administrati~n? If you have, you probably have been kept waiting long past the time scheduled for the appointment. Take for example the person who has an ~ppointment at 2 o'clock. Arriving a few minutes before 2, he seats himself for what· is supposedly a few minutes wait. Two o'cl_ocik comes and goes and still he sits. Two-thirty arrives, the buzzer rmgs, :ind someone else gets the nod to enter the office. Finally, your turn arrives, only to find that someone has just arrived that MiUST see so-and-s? immediately. So you sit and wait some more. At last, you are admitted to the inner sanctum, and the purpose of your appointment is r evealed to you. This practice occurs too often. If a business office were run in this manner, very little if anything would be accomplished. The Observer From: Court of Appeals Chairman would like to know if this practice is becoming one of the "Policies" o{ To: Student Body the school. If so, the Observer suggests that this "policy" be changed. Subject: Court of Appeals LETTER FROM KRIS Recently the Court of Appeals The Christmas Season has finally arrived.

TDR members will exhibit their culinary masterpieces at a bake sale to be held Saturday, January 30, at P o m er o y' s Department Store, fifth floor. Baked goods, including cookies, cakes, breads, and candies, will be sold from 10 a.m. until the supply is exhausted. Claire Handler, general chairman of the affair, announced that members contributing goods must bring them to McClintock Hall on January 29. Since dormitory students and other coeds wm be unable to bake goods for the affair, members agreed that each person who does not contribute food will have the opportunity to contribute money which it would have taken to make a particular item. Thus, all members will be able to take an active role in the project, designed to supply needed funds for the Valentine semi-formal. Semi-Formal Ne~t on the agenda was the Valentine semi-formal, to be held Friday, February 12, in the gymnasium. Herbie Greene will supply music for dancing from 9 to 12 at the traditionally girl-ask-boy, boyask-girl affair. Although plans are well under way, general chairman Marty Menegus reported that a chairman for the ceiling committee is still needed. Miss Menegus also commented that this affair provides an excellent opportunity for members to begin fulfilling membership requirements for next semester. Coeds wishing to work on committees of their choice may do so by seeing the following committee heads: .backdrop, Nancy Tinklepaugh; table, Anne Curley; lobby, P e g g y Churchill; refreshments, Judy Powell; invitations and chaperones, Betsy Tubridy; coat check, Mary Beth Brown; tickets, Leona Baiera; programs, Carol Thomas; favors, Mary Ellen Zewibel; hearts, Priscilla McCormick; decorations co-ordinator, Doris Gademan. Members who ordered shirts and pins may pick them up at McClintock Hall where Jane Palka is presently holding them. Chinese Actress ToSpeakTuesday Chinese Theatrical Producer Here for Next Assembly Program by Lynne Dente One of the most prominent women of today will be the guest speaker at the last assembly program assembly of the semester, Tuesday at 11. Li Ling Ai, lecturer, writer, and actress will speak to the students on a topic which should be of in- Li Ling Ai t erest to theatre lovers, a comparison between Chinese and Western Thea,tre. The title of her lecture is "Behind the Embroidered Fan." Miss Ai, who was born in Hawaii, of distinguished Chinese parents, was graduated from the University of Hawaii. Following her graduation she went to China, where she did research work on the Chinese Thea,ter and directed plays for the Fine Arts Institute.

In his address, "The Beat Generation and the Careful Young Man," Dr. Vujica contrasted the seriousness of Russian writers such as Dudintsev and Pasternak with the frivolousness of such western philosophers as the existentialists and members of the "beat generation." Explaining the "beat phenomenon," Dr. Vujica presented colorful quotations from "beat" literature in which the "square," a slave to commodities and conventions is scorned. The "beat" practice voluntary poverty and unconventional living and spend their time writing and reading poetry, painting, meditating and listening to music. They seize the present, living it to the fullest extent in order to gain every ounce of enjoyment. Dr. Vujica pointed out that the "beat" philosophy contains a grain of truth for it rebels against the commercialized civilization of the machine and atomic age in which man becomes a slave to gadgets. Concluding, Dr. Vujica said, "In dramatizing certain evil tendencies of our society, the 'beat' generation may be doing the 'square' a service by shaking him out of his complacency. The tragedy is that these rebels have nothing more constructive to solve the problems of the Atomic Age." Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, associate professor of Biological Research, will have a paper presented next week at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy in Miami, Florida. I.t will be presented during the Scientific Program between January 11 and 13. The paper is entitled "Serotonin and Histamine-Effecting Agents and E xperimental Vascular Sensitization." It is based on studies conducted in ,t he Department of Biology by Dr. Cohen and Theresa Sapp, research assistant. Research grants from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association and the National Heart Institute of the U. S. Public Health Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen Service supported these studies.

Final contracts were signed by the end of December. The class will also sponsor "Donkey Basketball" - a rematch of the faculty versus the athletes early in March. Last year seventeen hundred spectators attended the basketball match, and the profit, $340, was donated to the General Hospital Building Fund.

Salle is now recognized around the world. The man responsible for the Salle vaccine has become one of medicine's great figures and his name is a household word. . Yet 17 years ago, back in 1942, Jonas E. Salle was just another name on an application blank, another young research scientist, requesting fellowship assistance to study viruses. An award of $2,100 was· granted. A little over 10 years later this man announced to the world the first effective means of preventing a disease that had left human wreckage strewn across the face of the globe for centuries. The $2,100 invested in 1942 in Jonas E. Salle was an investment of the American people through the March of Dimes. Since 1938 more than 8,000 other young Americans have been aided in training through March of Dimes fellowships and scholarships. Dr. Salle is not the only famous "alumnus" of the professional education program of the The National Foundation. A Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Frederick Robbins, of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, was also a one-time "student" of this program. In 1959 The National Foundation started two new programs to help the Salks of tomorrow. Through a new fellowship program it will give resident and practicing physicians opportunities for advanced training in rheumatology or in the treatment of patients suffering from birth defects of the central nervous system, both part of The National Foundation's new program. In the health professions there is never any unemployment problem. The reason is that there simply are not enough of these skilled medical workers to fill the need. According to recent figures, there are now some 460,000 nurses caring for the sick; but at least 56,000 more are needed. There are 8,550 physical therapists; but 5,000 more are wanted. There are 5,800 occupational therapists; but 14,000 more are needed. There are 5,000 medical social workers; but 6,500 more could be used. There are 227,000 doctors, but not enough new ones are being trained. And most of the other health professions are equally understaffed. To alert college students to the unlimited opportunities open to them in the health fields and to aid some of them to get the training necessary, The National Foundation is now supporting a multi-million dollar Health Scholarship Program. In the summer of 1959 the first 403 of these scholarships were awarded to students throughout the nation. In 1960 The National Foundation will offer more than 500 Health Scholarships. Each scholarship will pay $500 a year, or a total of $2,000 for four years of college training in five key health fields of medicine, medical social work, physical therapy, nursing and occupational therapy. For prospective medical social workers, scholarships will be awarded starting with the junior year of college and extending through the two years of required graduate work. For prospective physicians, scholarships will be awarded to college upperclassmen who have been accepted for admission to · medical school. Health Scholarships, which are made possible through the New March of Dimes, are open to students in every state. Application blanks for these scholarships, which must be filed before April 1, can now be secured from the local chapter of The National Foundation. The Health Scholarship Program represents a tremendous March of Dimes investment in human resources. It is the first of its kind ever attempted on this scale. The cost is estimated at $12,000,000 over a 10-year period. But through it, thousands of young Americans will be trained for jobs worth doing and those jobs will be waiting for them wherever they choose to work. New Year's Day Wedding For Nesbitt Faculty Member by the BEACON Staff Dick Myers, chief whip-cracker at the Beacon office, has met his match at last through his New Year's Day marriage to the former Lois Tremayne. According to our reports of the big occasion, the poor young thing considered to enter wedlock with our illustrious Simon Legree a short nine days before old 1959 made his exit. In the hectic week, the couple found a vacancy at 81 W. Northampton St., behind Weiss Hall, in .the apartments maintained by the College for married students. The nuptials took place at Christ Lutheran Church, City, the Rev. Raymond A. Reed officiating. A Mrs. Richard J. Myers r eception for close friends and relatives was held at the Adams Room, Hotel Sterling. No invitations were issued for the short-notice affair. Mrs. Myers was graduated from Wilk es in 1957 with a B.S. in Nursing Education, received her R.N. from the Wyoming Valley Hospital .School of Nursing, and is a graduate of Westmoreland High School. She formerly lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Tremayne, Chase Road, Trucksville. Presently she serves as instructor at the Nesbitt Hospital School of Nursing. The Editor will leave Wilkes in June with an A.B. in English. He is a veteran of three years in the A'l'my Security Agency, spent twc years in the Philippine Islands as a sergeant at Clark Air Force Base. Following the ceremony on the clear, crisp first day of the year, the couple honeymooned in New York; however, both were back in Friday, January 8, 1960 There Is An Answer Dishonesty is contagious; it multiplies with alarming speed. A nation needs defense against subversion from within and attack from without. Dishonesty weakens a nation's strength through the personal actions of its citizens. What about America? It does not take long to realize that absolute honesty is not suffering from overuse today. Realization of corruption in high and low places comes so thick and fast that they leave us numb with apathy. We need to find a production line of character , and fast. According to FBI reports there is an army of 7,500,000 persons engaged in crime in our country. The cost of crime comes down on every man, woman and child in an average of over $200 per year. Perhaps you congratulate yourself that you have not robbed a ban:k or committed a murder, or forged a check, but the cutting of moral corners comes for most of us in more subtly concealed fo r ms; the mother who t ells the bus conductor her child is half-fare when he is in fact overage and is surprised when the same child starts to lie to her; the man who boasts about smuggling items through customs and is indignant when his son smuggles out of his cellar the best bottle of scotch and out of his humidor his choicest cigars; the woman whose tongue cuts across the group and robs other women of their reputations; more commonly, the students who pass and receive answers to zoology exams; the chemists who collaborate on unknown reports and quantitative analysis; the students who copy reports from encyclo·p edias; those who "doctor up" personal information for self-esteem. Dishonesty no less prevalent lies in the masks we wear to dress up our personalities. Most of us have worn one among our friends. Dishonesties we condone in ourselves we condemn in others. We are horrified when others do blatantly what we do quietly but we often forget that as dishonesties· multiply in a nation they undermine its character and destroy its strength. We preach wrath against a condition we have helped to create. The meaning of absolute honesty will be plain to everyone who seeks it. There may be doubtful areas where you need advice. There are likely to be more areas about which there are no doubts. Start with them. Think out the restitution you need to make in order to put right the path. The guiding light from God will show you what, how, and when restitution should be made. Does absolute honesty pay ? Those who pioneer in absolute honesty may not need immediate cash dividends the dividends will come in inner peace. They may come in the certainty that we have done what we were meant to do. They will, above all come in the solid ·p eace of eternal life. (Ed.

The Ithaca mat squad comes to Wilkes seeking revenge for the 1713 victory the Wilkes grapplers won last year. Coach Herb Broadwell has six returning lettermen to give the Bombers another strong mat team. They are exceptionally strong in the lower weights, 157lb., and heavyweight classes. Last week the Ithaca grapplers edged out the tough Syracuse University squad, 16-15. Most of the Lthaca ·wrestlers come from Ithaca High School which has one of the best high school wrestling systems in the country. The Ithaca matmen work out with Cornell, the wrestling pride of ,t he Ivy League, so their· personnel are always in top shape. The Colonel wrestlers enter this match with a 33-3 victory over Lebanon Valley's wrestling team. Coach John Reese's charges showed their best in the initial match of the season with Capt. Joe Morgan, Brooke Yeager, Dick Stauffer, Glen Rittenhouse, Gerard Senick, and Marv Antinnes turning in falls. Bob Sislian won a decisive decision in the heavyweight class. Returning to the Blue and Gold lineup for the Ithaca match will be 157-lb. MAC tiitlist Ted Toluba. Ted was hampered by a sprained shoulder but showed he was back in top shape by capturing third place in the Wilkes Open Wrestling tournament. Also in the Wilkes lineup will be Marv Antinnes, runner-up in the 177-lb. division of the Wilkes Open. Marv became the first Colonel grappler ever to enter the tourney finals with decisive victories over some of the East's top wrestlers. In the battle of fullbacks, Al Rushatz of West Point, edged out the Colonel pride to win the 177-lb. title. I Ray Hollie's "':::•::~:'.:::"r~!

Club Aids Needy; Plans Stock Purchase by Gloria Zaludek Members of the Economics Club are sponsoring a "New Eyes For the Needy" campaign which will last throughout January and February. The idea is to collect all types o:e used eyeglasses including sunglasses and frames, regardless of their condition. These glasses will then be sent to the "New Eyes For the Needy" organization in Shorthills, New Jersey, where they will be repaired, reground and donated to needy individuals. Last year over three thousand pairs of glasses were collected, a total which the club has set as its goal for this year's campaign. Chairman Joseph Durishan stated that interested students may deposit their used glasses in the variour boxes located on campus. The club is receiving off-campus publicity from area newspapers, and TV and radio stations in connection with a telephone answering service. Various organizations, such as the Girl Scouts, have also offered their support. Investing Committee Sixteen members of the Econ Clu1b have formed a stock committee which wiU investig:ate individual stocks, record the findings, and by next semester will be prepared to offer recommendations for the purchase of stock. The club has an estimated $6700 for this purpose. An interest in stocks prompted the club's field trip to New York on Friday, January 8. Thirty-five members, with chaperon John Hotson of the Commerce and Finance Department, left via, Martz Lines at 5:30 a.m. Upon arrival in New York they toured the Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, RCA, and the NBC studios. Bill Morris was chairman of the affair. A bake sale is planned for the near future. Wilkes Jaycees Plan for Spring; To Give Awards by Marilyn Krackenfels The big event on the Wilkes College Jaycees' second semester agenda is "Bob Clark Day," scheduled for early spring. The affair, honoring Mr. Bob Cla1·k, president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce, will include a dinner at the Hotel Sterling to which all Jaycee chapters in the surrounding counties will be invited. Special guests, in addition to Mr. Clark, will be Mr. Harry Light, president of the Pennsylvania Junior Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. George Russett, Wilkes-Barre Jaycees head. A committee of three, consisting of John Mattey, Frank Steck, and Jim Morgan, is presently making plans for the day. A wards Banquet Another project in which the Wilkes Jaycees is participating is the Distinguished Services Award Banquet, being held by the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce. Frank Steck is cochairman of the affair, which centers around the honoring of the young man selected as outstanding in the Valley. In choosing this person, applications are sent to the local employers and social organizations who submit names of members of their organizations whom they deem worthy of the award. The nominations are limited to men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five, and- the final selection is made by a panel of three judges, whose names are well known in the community.

Plans for the revision of the District PSEA constitution were discussed. The revision would concern the election of members and which members would be allowed to vote at the meetings. It was decided that each representative present would take a copy of the constitution to his respective chapter and ask for suggestions. These sug.g estions· would then be taken back to the next meeting of the Student PSEA which will :be held on February 27 in the Commons at 10:30 a,m.

With the last day of classes upon us, we suddenly realize that the day of reckoning is at hand. Editorially speaking, we find that we have very little to say, as usual, and plenty of space to say it in. Thoughts of the coming final exams have pushed all issues to the farthest comers of a cluttered mind. We take this opportunity, therefore, to clear the Editor's notebook of little items we never took the time to express previously. IIIIXIIIXIIIIXXIXXXIXIXX On Finals "How come," one of our fledgling frosh reporters how-come'd this week. "we hafta sit for three hours in folding chairs, balancing lapboards to take exams?" From our lofty Olympian heights we condescendingly explained that this is policy, was adopted several years ago and worked well, puts all the eggs in one basket, provides for better supervision and frees all classrooms for such improbable things as renovations, meetings, or other worthwhile endeavors. To his anguished lament that such herding of students under such uncomfortable conditions was cruel, inhuman torture, we could only agree. "Perhaps," we perhaps'd, "future years will show a reversal of this policy. Scheduling obstacles for classrooms can be hurdled and humanitarian officials will provide lounge chairs and secretaries for the harried examinees." We didn't really believe that, though. We consoled the poor lad with the thought that if conditions do change at all, they will probably get worse. · On Advertising This week's issue brings up a matter we had intended to mention earlier, the Beacon's student rates for advertising. The Student Government, in a laudable attempt to see a better and saner Winter Carnival, has bought an ad in the paper for the dual purpose of encouraging maximum student participation and trying to head off a repeat performance of objectionable behavior. Any organization or individual on campus may make use of this service of the Beacon at reduced rates. Local advertisers pay one dollar per column inch for their ads, students who wish to advertise their activities may do so at 60 cents per column inch. Naturally, the newspaper will do all in its power to see that every activity gets adequate coverage. but there is a great difference between publicity and advertising. In nearly every case, publicity is limited by fairly standard journalistic practices. Stories must be written in a general framework conforming to these practices. Advertising, on the other hand, frees the publicity chairman from the restrictions of journalistic "who, what, where, when and why" statements and enables him to plead for support or publicize his affair with no more restrictions than those imposed by common sense and good taste. For further information, drop a line to the Editor via the Beacon mailbox, basement, Chase Hall. Dea r Sir: There are many girls who are dissatisfied with the prevailing conditions in the girls' .g ym classes. In the beginning of the semester, we were requested to purchase new gym suits, rather than use those that we had used in high school. For some girls, this was a financial strain which was completely unnecessary. Then we were informed that we were required to take showers. Although this rule was not strictly enforced at times, when it was enforced, approximately fifty girls fought over six showers. This led to mass confusion. There was also a great lack of privacy in the showers. The first activity that we undertook was the playing of children's ga,mes. These games were specifically designed for young children and were of little interest to anyone but, possibly, elementary education majors. After being sufficiently exposed to these .g ames, we started to play ,basketball. This is satisfactory in a limited amount, but it does get a little aggravating when little else is done. Some students, especially those who have gym classes twice a week, find this routine very monotonous. If more variety were added to the gym schedule, the classes would be more enjoyable for everyone concerned, and there would certainly be better attendance. (Name withheld by request) On Respect -- A New S~ant Some time ago, a professor - who shall remain nameless startled us with the suggestion that ,t he students should take pains to show a little less respect to their instructors. Before we recovered from the shock, he went on to note that too many sudents sit quietly and respectfully, happy to accept as gospel every word uttered from the front of the room. This same prof went on to reveal that he had, on several occasions, made blatantly ridiculous statements in hopes of stirring up some class participation, only to be greeted with the industrious scribbling of note-taking automatons, happily gobbling up a lot of hogwash. He concluded that "respect" was probably not the true description of this phenomenon; instead he attributed it to plain intellectual sloth. This writer has found himself on all too many occasions mirroring these regrettable actions along with many of his supposedly more intelligent colleagues. Is this a trend? We fear it is. That we are aware of it is an encouraging sign. Whether or not we can change the situation is another thing. Are students entirely at fault, or is this another case of a vicious circle? It could be that a moderately argumentive class may slow down, forcing the prof to become more pedantic and take larger steps to dominate discussion to the end that he simply lectures until the bell rings and then forgets he ever faced a class. There are probably several other explanations for the decline in class discussion. Instructors themselves may be wholly at fault. We don't know, nor can we propose any other solution than that startling request: let's have a little less respect and a little more intellecual exercise. With a new semester facing us, we have a perfect chance for a fresh start. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ... Bible Study Group _ Bookstore Lounge, Today, Noon.

The object: an uprooted parking meter. The meter was intact, with a,bout t en pounds of concrete still affixed to the base. It was presumably returned to the City, as it was no longer in evidence by mid-morning. The Observer is curious as to what explanation was given to the City officials. Who got the blame? WE WERE OBSERVED A scheduled visit by the "Feature Writing" class of night school last Tuesday didn't pan out. The class arrived; the instructor, Mr. John C. Bush, didn't. Members of the class began arriving at the Beacon office about 8 p.m., •but by 8 :30 Mr. Bush still had not arrived, so the members of the class departed. Mr. Bush's absence may have been due to what is termed "inclement weather," specifically snow and ice, making hazardous driving conditions.

WHIPCRACKER GETS GIFT Richard Myers, whose marriage announcement appeared in last week's Beacon, was given a wedding present last Tuesday night by members of the Beacon staff. The present was a bottle of imported champagne. Dick's only comment, beside a thank you, was " ... everything we got so far is my wife's : her iron, her toaster, etc. Now I've got something for myself." Even so, the Observer f eels sure that the champagne will be shared by the missus.

He was "Athlete of the Week" on December 18, 1959. Radecki wa9 chosen for his sensational playing in the Moravian and Dickinson games. Against Moravian he tallied 26 points to lead a.JI Wilkes scorers. 20 of those tallies came in the first half as he kept the Colonels in the ball game. All this was accomplished even though the hard-driving forward was suffering from intestinal flu that finally caught up with him in the second half. Most of Radecki's baskets came on long jump shots from beyond the foul circle and he drew the applause of the Moravian fans as he continually poured the •b all through the hoop. He again proved to be the big man in the Wilkes attack against Dickinson as he scored 22 points to pace the Colonels. Once more the long jump shot stood out as the big factor in the Wilkes victory. Radecki was also top rebounder for the Colonels in both contests, often outjumping men who towered over him. For his fine work in both games Radecki was named to last week's first team on the ECAC All-Star squad for small colleges. This is the highest honor that a college Bernie Radecki basketball player can receive in east coast competition. The allsta.r team is chosen each week by a board of ECAC officials on the basis of a player's performance over the span of games played during the week. 1.-M.

Least year Hofstra won the contest played at Wilkes, 73-70. The Colonels hope to continue their winning ways following an impressive win over Dickinson last Saturday, 102-81. The victory broke a four game losing streak and evened the team's record at 4-4. Bernie Radecki led the Wilkes scorers against Dickinson as he tallied 22 points. He was followed closely by George Gacha who hit for 21. Hofstra will ,g o into tomorrow's game with an 11-1 record. The Dutchmen have beaten such teams as Army, LIU, Loyola, Delaware, Upsala, and Albright. They were also the winner of their own Long Island Invitational Tournament as they won over Adelphi, Rutgers, and Lehigh. The lone Hofstra loss was to Wagner, 50-48. Wilkes will have to stop the Dutchmen's two top scorers if they expect to win. Ted Jackson, a junior, cra,cked the starting lineup last year as a sophomore and led the team in scoring. He is a big threat again this season. The other man to watch is guard Steve Dunn another starter as a sophomore last year. He finished second to Jackson in scoring. The ·Colonels continue to play through final examinations. On January 23 they journey to Oneonta, N .Y., to meet the Hartwick College Warriors. The Warriors are usually a hard team to beat on their home court and a,J. ways give the Colonels a rough time. They will depend on their captain, Barry Lewis, senior forward from Carbondale, Pa., to do most of their heavy work, in the scoring column and off the backboards. Wilkes beat the Warriors at home last year, 92-79. The Scranton Royals will furnish the opposition on January 27, at Scranton. This will be the first of two meetings between the teams. Scranton returns to the Wilkes gym on February 3. Scranton is off to a slow start this year after enjoying several good seasons. They lost their first five games and were beaten by Moravian College this week, 104-89. The Royals biggest threat is Captain Bobby Meckwood, senior guard from Scranton. Meckwood was last year's most valuable player for the Royals and has been their top scorer this season. Scranton · beat Wilkes last campaign, 82-69. Saturday, January 30, the Colonels again play on the road when they go to Trenton, N .J. to face Rider College. The Broncs have come up with another topnotch team and have beaten some of the better schools in South Jersey. Last year they defeated the Colonels, 7763. After their most extensive road trip of the season, the team returns to the friendly confines of the Wilkes :gym' on Monday, February 1 to meet a strong Laf111yette organization.

Collection boxes were placed in various locations on campus for students to deposit the used glasses. · These glasses will be sent to the "New Eyes for ,t he Needy" organization in Shorithills, New Jersey, where they will ,b e repaired, reground and donated to needy individuals. This campaign has not been confined to the campus. Regional TV and radio stations and newspapers (continued on page 2) activities. A discussion of the sporit dance to be held in cooperation with the Amnicola March 18 concluded the meeting. He a rt Fund Dance To Be He Id Tomorrow The four "drum-beaters" will literally do just that, taking with them drums, bugles, hats and other ,p araphernalia in an effort to sell the virtues of the Wyoming Valley to the delegates. The Altoona meeting, in addition to settling the issue of the 1961 convention site, has been called to honor the State's ten "Outstanding Young Men." Accompanying the Wilkes representatives will be local Jaycee executives Hugh Carr, George Russett, Len Mulcahy, Al Alberts and Bill Zdancewicz. They also will have in their possession materials publicizing the city and the valley. Campaigning for the securing of the convention will be taking place all day today and tomorrow. Pressing hard for their cities will be delegates from Pittsburgh, Scranton and Reading. Early indications are that the real competition to Wilkes-Barre will come from Scranton and! Pittsburgh. When the last convention was held at Scranton, delegates report that they had the time of their lives. The former "Smoky City" has undergone a great transformation in recent years and its businessmen are offering the attractions of the new "Golden Triangle" as bait to the delegates at Altoona when they vote tomorrow night. Local hotels and motels ha,ye made special -p rice considerations to counter these efforts and the I ~:~te:i:~e~-!~r;: t1:te:up~roert eif the smaller c1t1es aJt the Board meeting. The Wilkes students are attending the meeting by virtue of the campus chapter's status as the first collegiate unit of the Jaycees ever formed. Since the group was formed, its members have taken active and effective part in community prnjects, including the annual drive for gifts for patients at the Retreat State Hospital. They have received national recognition for their "firsit" as well as for their activities.

While we realize that such recommendations are not binding upon next year's governing body, we feel that sober thought between now and then may reveal to the opponents of the measure that the demise of the Carnival has been a long time coming. Each year the behavior of just a few succeeds in creating animosity where only good will should exist. The College has taken 27 years to build up that good will; it is inexcusable to allow it to be destroyed in one day. Further, it is regrettable that the trite cliche that "it only takes one rotten apple" must be resurrected, but this excuse can no longer be considered valid. We know that the inconsiderae ones may be few in number, but the outsider only sees one thing - disorderly conduct. No line is drawn between individual and group; what one does is considered to be a reflection on the whole. Next year's governors would do well to take this recommendation under advisement and give it most careful consideration before taking action. More is at stake than a good time. English, German Cultures Stressed Al British, Austrian Summer Schools Four British and two Austrian summer schools are offering American students six weeks of liberal arts study this July and August. Applications may be obtained by writing to: Institute of International Education 1 East 67th Street New York 21, New York Applications to the British Summer School programs must be received before March 1 for scholarships, and March 31 for admission applications. Austrian scholarship requests must be returned by March 1, admission applicaitons by May 1. British Program Under the British University Summer Schools program, students can apply for study at one of four schools, each concentrating on a particular subject and period. At Stratford-on-Avon the subject will ·be Elizabethan drama; at the University of London the course will be the study of English literature, art and music of the 17th and 18th centuries using materials preserved in London's buildings, galleries and records; at Oxford the subject will be English history, literature and the arts from 1870 to the present. The theme of the Edinburgh School will be the political and economic history, philosophy and literature of Britan from 1559 to 1789. Although the courses are designed for graduate students, undergraduates in their last two years at a university will be considered. The Summer School fees, including full room, board and tuition, range between L8O-L90 (approximately $245-254). A few scholarships which partially cover univer- sity fees of well-qualified undergraduate students and a few full scholarships to graduate students are available. Austrian Program Both Austrian summer schools include in their programs the opportunity to attend performances at Salz,b urg's famed music festival. The Salzburg Summer School, sponsored by the Austro-American Society, emphasizes German language study, but courses in art and music and on foreign policy are taught in English. Also included, in addition to attendance at the music festival, are a variety of conducted tours of Salzburg. The fee for the entire program is $190, with an optional three-day trip to Vienna costing $25. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 40, and must have completed at least one year of college wo1°k. A few full scholarships are available. The university of Vienna, offering summer courses at its St. Wolfgang Campus near Salzburg, combines study with outdoor Ii.re at a mountain lake. Its aim is to enable .l!;nglish-speaking students to become acquainted with Austrian educational arid social values. Courses being offered include German language, law and political science, education, arts and history. Students who have completed at least two years of college are eligible .to apply for either a three or sixweek program. The fee for the full six-week program, including tuition, maintenance, tours and excursions, and attendance at the Salzburg Festival is $250, with an optional four-day trip to Vienna costing $30. A few scholarships covering partial or full fees are available to six-week students. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Bible Study Group - Bookstore Lounge, Today, Noon.

Finnegan Memorial Fellowship Fund Awards. The Fund has been founded by the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee in honor of James A. Finnegan, a prominent figure in state and national politics who died in 1958. The winner or winners of the competition will serve a six weeks internship in a suitable government or political office during the period from June to December of 1960. The exact dates will be mutually agreed upon by the awardee and the Trustees of the Fund. During his internship the winner will receive a weekly stipend of one hundred dollars. Any Pennsylvania student enrolled in any accredited college or university or any non-resident student enrolled in any accredited Pennsylvania college or university who is interested in pursuing a political or government career is eligible to enter. Those interested may fill out an application. The awards will be based on academic background, active pa.rticipation in extracurricular a c t i v i ti e s and demonstrated aptitude for a career in government or politics. The decision of the judges will be final. The last day for filing an application will be March 1, 1960. Application forms may be obtained by writing to: James A. Finnegan Memorial Fellowship Fund 510 North Third Street Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club has offered to sponsor Cue 'n' Curtain if they will perform a musical at the Irem Temple. The offer was taken to a vote by members of the club who voted, with one exception, unanimously to accept the offer. Cue 'n' Curtain has submitted the offer to the administration for approval. At a later meeting, however, a compromise appeared to solve the question of having another musical. It was finally decided that the dramatists would make the attempt ... but not until September. The plan seems to be that casting will be done at the end of the Spring semester and that rehearsals will go through the Summer, possibly at one of the Pocono Mountain summer stock theaters, where profess.ionals abound and much practical experience can be gained. The Observer hopes that the financial problems to cast members will be overcome easily. Otherwise, it looks like an excellent idea. Collegians Present Concert February 15 At First Presbyterian by Gloria Zaludek The Collegians will present two full concerts - one on February 15 at the First Presbyterian Church, the other on February 24 at the First Reformed Church of WilkesBarre. They will also perform at Exeter High School on Lincoln's Birthday, and on Friday evening, February 19, will entertain at the Westmoreland Club for the Peabody Award Dinner of the Wilkes-Barre AdvertisingClub. At the present, members of the male chorus are rehearsing selections from "Oklahoma," and Bali Hai from "South Pacific," which they will present at their assembly program on March 15. The program will open with "Gloria in Excelsis" from Mozart's twelfth Mass. One feature of the assembly will be the introduction of the student who will become the conductor of the Collegians for the next two years. Another innovation will be the use of two pianos, which will be played simultaneously by accompanists Tom Hrynkiw and Walter Umla. While touring southern New York state on April 1, the Collegians will sing in the Oxford, Norwich, and Greene High Schools. The male chorus, combined with the Women's Chorus, will enter the annual Eistedfodd competition in Edwardsville on March 12. They will compete against other outstanding local choruses. This year the choral group has selected "Glory of the Lord" from Handel's "The Messiah." Last year the combined groups won accolades for their first prize performance. By early spring, the Collegians, under the direction of Bill Peters, plan to make a recording which will be sold on campus. The songs to be recorded will be chosen from their standard repertoire. Campus Observer C'n'C MUSICAL ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR The Observer wasn't alone in noticing a glaring misfortune in the progress of final exams. Over a hundred bitterly disappointed students had to leave the gym when their instructor failed to show up with their exam. It seems that the "absent-minded professor" stereotype still exists, for the prof got his calendar mixed up, thinking he had the exam on Wednesday. While at first blush this would seem to be a huge faux pas, later reflection seems to have accepted the incident as just another one of those things. The Observer extends his deepest sympathy to those poor people who spent the whole night cramming for the final that never was. CARNIVAL A "SMASHING" SUCCESS Did you observe the incident at Pocono Mountain Inn during the recent Winter Carnival? One of the students, anti-rock 'n' roll, no doubt, managed somehow to get his fist through the glass of the jukebox. Could it have been an accident? Was it done in anger? Or did old John Barleycorn have some influence on his actions? At any rate, it's a good way to insure having the "No Vacancy" sign hung out whenever Wilkes is in town again. THE BOSS'S NEIGHBORS Beacon boss Dick Myers and his bride of one month have new neighbors since John Wozniak and Grace Schneider got married last Thursday and moved in next door. John was formerly dorm proctor at Warner Hall, Grace a resident of Sterling Hall. May all their problems be as simple. The Observer hopes they both like cats, as the Editor has an animal in his apartment that thinks it is the landlord of that property.

Coach John Reese's matmen registered five falls while overpowering the game, but outclassed Warriors. Brooke Yeager started the Colonels on the victory path by pinning Gleason in 8:25. Brooke was ahead 10-4 when he got the Stroudsburg wrestler in a "cradle" hold to score five points for the Blue and Gold matmen. Some unorthodox leg wrestling was the feature of the 130-lb. class when Dick Stauffer registred an 8-2 decision over Woods. The home team registered its lone victory of the day when Al Deibler scored a fall in 8 :50 over Girard Senick. Senick suffered a leg injury during the bout and couldn't overcome the physical handicap. Mike Armstrong's 3-0 victory over Jones was one of the outstanding bouts of the match. Mike reversed Jones in the third period and rode him to score the victory. The 157-lb. class bout found Ted Toluba back in top form as he pinned Zarbatany in 7 minutes. The effects of the shoulder injury which has slowed down Ted seem to be past and the Colonel grappler is ready for heavy action. The closest bout found Glen Rittenhouse emerging victorious over Lawrence. The big 167-lb. gridder used two escapes and a takedown to register a 4-3 win. Marv Antinnes continued the Colonel romp by making short order of "Bucko" Williams. Marv used a half-nelson to register a fall in 1 :04. Bob Sislian closed the match with a very imp.ressive 8:40 fall over Wilgard. The Colonel heavyweight was leading at the time of the fall, 4-1. Last week-end the Colonel grapplers traveled to West Point where they engaged the Plebes and Cadet J.V.'s in exhibition matches. Although no results were kept, the Colonels scored more victories over the Cadets than they had reverses. Marv Antinnes again shone for the Colonels. This week-end the matmen will again take the exhibition trail when they engage the U. of Pennsylvania's grapplers in an exhibition match at Philadelphia. A long time between matches made these exhibitions a "must" as the Colonels get ready to defend their winning skein against a tough Lycoming College squad. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Bernie Kosch Scores Heavily, Plays Big Role in Upset Win by John Nork Towering 6 ft. - 6 in., 210-lb. Bernie Kosch receives this week's Athl:te Awar~ for _his sparkling performances in the past week. Sconng 5 l pomts m three games, Kosch turned in some of his best performances of his college career. Normally an average performer, Kosch suddenly burst forth with a surge of shooting accuracy, enabling him to score 22 points against Scranton, 20 points against Bernie Kosch Rider, and nine points against Lafayette. Although defeat was in the making for Wilkes against Scranton Kosch drove on, keeping the team'~ morale high by never giving up. An interesting point concerning this game is that he started the evening on the bench. Called in to do a job, he <lid it to the best of his ability. Rider College saw Kosch combine shooting accuracy with good board action as he hit the net for 20 points, 11 of this total coming in the first half. He also was responsible for a good number of rebounds that evening. Although his game against Lafayette was not as rewarding as his previous two, scorewise, he continued his successful feats as an all-around player. Kosch, a mild-mannered senior political science major from Nanticoke, has intentions of attending gr a d u ate school after leaving Wilkes. He shows signs of repeating again and again his scintillating performances on the court as the season progresses and should be an important factor in Coach Eddie Davis' future plans.

The 4-0 win in the first night of action in the second half gave the Smashers a first place slot while pushing the mighty Pinbusters into the cellar. The Smashers had spent most of the first half in last place, while the Pinbusters enjoyed the league lead most of the season. In other action, Dick Myers led ,t he Gutterdusters to a 3-1 win over the Kingpins with 209-550. Adam Gajewski was high man for the losers on 202-552. Also 3-1 winners, the Blitzkriegs tied for second place with the Gutterdusters as Fred Jacoby was top man in the win with 194-515. Jerry Chisarick led the Flatballs on 190522. Taking over the lead, the Smashers had a balanced attack, with all five men in the high 400's. Besides Brooks' 186-499 and Sapiego's 197493, Bernie Radecki contributed 471, Mark Adelson 463, and Andy Benoska 459, including a game of 190. Emil Petrasek, 193-533, and Bob Barovich, 175-515, were top men for the Pinbusters, who start the second half in an unaccustomed last place spot. Half Ends April 8 The second half will end on April 8. Whichever team is then in first place will meet the Pinbusters for the championship. of the Coed Lea,gue. The loser in the postseason playoff will receive second place trophies. Should the Pinbusters repeat in first place, then the second place team for the second half will meet the Gutterdusters for the runnerup trophies. Should the Pinbusters and Gutterdusters finish one-two again, each will receive the proper trophies and no playoff will be necessary. The league tentatively plans a handicap tournament for the final two or three weeks of the year.

In a comparison of the only common foe that the schools have faced, Wilkes lost to Philadelphia Textile by 10 points while Rutgers was beaten by the same team by 4 points. The Pioneers will be without their top scorer of .the past few seasons, Joe Bretschneider, who rewrote the record books in his stint at the South Jersey college. Bretschneider graduated last June. Coach Albert Carino will present a team composed of three upperclassmen and a scattering of underclassmen in important roles. Leading the Pioneers will be senior cocaptains Frank Del Rossi and Fred Setzler with Gar Miller giving the only other upperclassman support. The first five is rounded out by two juniors, 6'-3" Fran Dick and 5'-11" guard Jerry McCullough, both of whom saw plenty of action last year as sophomores.

Another defeat came at the hands of Hartwick, 85-59, with the Scranton Royals handing them the third loss last Wednesday, 96-87.

Faculty Women Meet; Discuss 'Business, Social Agenda The Wilkes Faculty Women held their regular monthly meeting earlier this week at Chapman Hall. Following the business meeting refreshments were served and a hairstyling exhibition was presented. The Wilkes Faculty Women ,is an organization composed of women faculty members and wives of the male instructors.

Francis Riofski is new to debating this year. He took part in the Temple Novice Tournament with Brent O'Connell. Debating on the question of whether Congress should have power to reverse Supreme Court decisions, Riofski and O'Connel posted a 4-0 record. The Johns Hopkins Tournament attracts some of the nation's top debating teams. Wilkes teams have compiled a very impressive record in ,this event and have one of the highest averages of all the teams which have competed. In 1955 Wilkes won the tournament hy defeating Princeton in the final round. That year Wilkes was unbeaten and had seven wins. In 1954, 1956, and 1957, Wilkes debaters placed third with 5-1 records each time. This year the team of Feinstein and Riofski will debate six rounds, three affirmative and three negative. After the second round competition gets rougher because winners are ,p itted against winners and losers against losers. Following this event the Wilkes debaters will participate in a tournament sponsored by King's College. This is a four-man tournament and Wilkes will be represented by Barry O'Connell, Brent O'Connell, Jerry Krasa, and Francis Riofski. This will take place next Saturday. John Hotson, Mrs. Herbert Bernstein, and Mrs. Margaret Ba~ber, Chapman housemother. Mrs. Paul Werner is this year's president of ,t he organization. Other officers are Mrs. James Langdon, vice-president; Mrs. Sheldon Curtis, treasurer; and Mrs. James Parmenter, secretary. Future plans for the Faculty Women include a covered dish supper February 27, and a card party March 18. Both of these affairs will take place in the college Commons. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - · •~ Manuscript to Present Films; Tickets Available To Students, Faculty by Cynthia Hagley Plans for film showings have reached the final stage, Kurl Roberts, chairman of the Manuscript Film Society, announced before the end of last semester. The dates for the films have al.so been set up by the executive council of the Manuscript Association. The films for this season's showing have been selected for their educational and entertaining aspects. Dates for the films are February 19, March 3, March 18, and April 8. The particular film to be shown on a certain date will be announced in the Beacon the week previous and posted on all bulletin boards. Birth of A Nation is a silent film made in the early twenties. It is an epic in film-making and an essential part in all .p rograms designed to demonstrate the history of .t he film industry. The camera and story techniques are far in advance of other films made at the time. Three other films to be shown are: Death of a Salesman, from the Broadway hit by Arthur Miller with Frederic March in the leading role; Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Jose Ferrer and based on the drama by Edmond Rostand; and finally, The Wild One, a film that started Marlon Brando on the road to film success. Season tickets are priced at $2.00 and can be purchased from any member of the film society. At some future time, a ticket sale will be held in the cafeteria. Nesbitt Nurses Hold Dance, Issue Invitation to Wilkes Mr. Chapline, in his second year as a member of the faculty, has prepared a varied four-part program. Firat, he will play a series of four solos for the lute. This music daites back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries when the lute enjoyed its greatest popularity before the invention of the harpsichord. The lute is similar to a guitar in design and was aotually a forerunner of the latter instrument. Mr. Chapline plays a bass lute consisting of eighteen strings. For the second part of the program, Mr. Chapline will sing four love songs, each in a different language, English, Italian, French and German. The third part will include five vocal selections based on the contemporary writings of Fletcher and Hausmann which were put to music. In the last part of the program, Mr. Chapline will present five ballads native to the Hebrides Islands, where he lived for six months. This mu,sic will be sung in the traditional Gaelic and old English language. Mr. Cha-p line is a native of Philadelphia. His musical background includes a degree from the Juilliard School of Music and piano study with Leo Ornstein of Philadelphia. Mr. Ornstein was a former instructor of Mrs. Eleanor Farley. Mr. Chapline also spent two yea11s of study in Europe upon receiving a fellowship from the Fulbright Foundation. He presented concerts in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, and other countries of northern and eastern Europe. He took part in the recent television series, "Omnibus," when he .p articipated in a program with Leonard Bernstein, impressario and conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Mr. Chapline is also pictured with a singing group in Mr. Bernstein's recently published book, "The Sound of Music." In addition to his teaching duties, Mr. Chapline directs the Madrigal Singers and the Mixed Chorus. He is soloist at the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre. He is an active member of the English Country Dance and Folk Song Society, and the Country Dance Society of America. Sunday's program is as follows : Lute Solos .. Dalzo Pavava alla Ferraese ...

Evaluation Team Visits School,. Random Interviews of Students Wilkes College faculty and students will act as hosts to an evaluation ,t eam from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools during the first three days of next week. The purpose of the program is to secure a constructive and objective picture of the College and to seek to discover ways and means by which the total effectiveness of the institution can be improved. The visit is the logical climax to a year and one half of effort on the part of the faculty, alumni, and students to try to asses-s the worth of the College and to discover both its strong and weak points. Our efforts will now be supplemented and strengthened by the observations and recommendations of representatives from other colleges and universities.

These educators will be here to take an objective look at the College, its policies, activities, personnel, and other factors which total up to the concept o(a college. Not a "final exam" or any other type of competition for which a relative grade is awarded, this visit will point out the areas where improvement is needed and will reveal other areas where this institution has achieved notable standing. When the evaluators approach students, they will question them about normal, routine affairs and they should be answered in a frank, but objectively truthful manner. This is not an opportunity to complain needlessly about fancied injustices, but a good chance for serious-minded students to help a group of professional educators arrive at opinions which may well turn out to be beneficial to Wilkes. Number 50,000 A milestone of sorts was reached recently in the College library when volume number 50,000 was recorded. Its appearance was unobstrusive enough as Mrs. Thom, one of the library assistants, slipped the book in under Mr. Ermel's eyes. Under the pretense that something was amiss with the machine which records each new acquisition, she was able to secure Mr. Ermel's aid. When he had stamped ,t he volume, his face lit up as he saw the string of zeroes marking the occasion. No special celebration occured, the workers just went on about their duties. Approximately 70 books each week are processed in this manner, we are pleased to see this growth. Your Yearbook in Difficulty Our sister publication, the Amnicola, is having its troubles this year. Actually, they have only one serious problem money. Their method of overcoming this deficit is simple and effective. They hope tha,t by the sale of "booster" or patron advertising, they will be able to give you what you would like to see, the best yearbook in the history of Wilkes. It's not impossible, nor is the help of ,t he staff seeks unreasonable. For one dollar, the patron's name is listed in the patron section. Special five dollar patron ads will also be taken. Organizations are asked to take ads as a sort of "thank you" for their places in the yearbook. This is not to be construed as "payola" to the Amnicola. Rather, it should be seen as a good chance for campus groups to come ,t o the aid of another; especially one whose finished product is a lasting memento of college days.

There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Khrushchev is trying to bluff Ameri ca and the fr ee world into co-existence with the threat of nuclear war. Recentl y the Soviet head denounced the stand taken by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer on coexistence, German unification, and West German nuclea.r r e-armament. Adenauer was smeared because he is the number one en emy of the Communists and clea.r ly sees the issues facin g \.Vest ern Germany and the free world today. The Communists attempted to create a crisis situation by plac.ing extreme pressure upon the West to r ecognize the East German governm ent and to unify Germany under quasi-Soviet t erm s. To this end, the Communist underground inspired a,n ti-S emitic demonstrations in several West German cities . The whole strategy was to arouse resentment against Adenauer and his gover nment, thereby threatening stabilit y both within and outside of Western Germany. More re cently, Khru shchev called Aden:1uer "another Hitler," an aggressor a nd a foe of pea ceful co-existence . Khru shchev went on to say tha t the Chan cellor was a tyrant and a man who, if un chec,ked, will become another dictator just like Hitler . Khrushchev fails to see that the Communist drive for power is more t yranni cal and di ctatorial than the worst shades of Hitler's era. It is no accid ent that the Communist Party has made Adenauer t he ta r get of their attack, nor is it an accident that 200,000 magazines and newspapers are distributed three times a month in W estern German y by the Soviet Embassy. Th e Central Intelligence Agency reported that the East German government spends close to twenty million dollars per year on Communis,t propaganda. This divisive propa ganda is sent to West Germany in the form of magazines, newspapers, radio and t elevision broadcasts. East German tel evision stations have "adopted" the same channel as the West German stations so that viewers in the West receive East German transmissions. By 1964, forty-four more transmitters will be built to advance the range of the East German broadcasts. The Communists know they have a free hand because they jam our broadcasts while we allow their programs to pass freely to the West. Adenauer is the bulwark that Communists are striving to destroy. He had ideological clarity which is the r eal force against the s,p read of Communist ideals. Chancellor Adenauer said in the New York Journal-American recently: "Moral Re-Armament has given most valuable stimulation to uniting Europe. Unless this work (MRA) is carried forward, peace in the world cannot be maintained. MRA has become a household word in .post-war Germany." Chancellor Konrad Adenauer needs the support of the United States and the free world - the defense of Western Europe is at stake. For the Communists have an ideological commitment - world domination . Unfortunately the West is still groping for one. If you do not believe me you might heed the words of Admiral Seaton and Admiral Standley, former Chief of Naval Operations and the United States Ambassador to Moscow: "The choice for America is Moral R-Armament of Communism." �Friday, February 12, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Lockerroom Chatter by RAY Y ANCHUS, Sports Editor Wilkes College basketball fans a re seeing an unprecedented record being established this season on the local hardwoods. For the first time in the annals of Wilkes basketball there will be two players finishing t he season and th eir career s with more than 1 000 in t h eir kitties. Guard George Gacha, an outstanding performer for th e Colonels for four years, became the third player to turn th e trick when h e registered his 1,000 point in th e Dickinso n game last month. Gacha now stands at a total of 1163 tallies for his career. He s tarted the season with 881 in the till a nd has scored 282 t o ela t e in t he 1959-60 campaign. The other player in line to join th e ranks of the record book makers is Bernie Radecki, 6' 2" forward from Ashl ey . Radecki has accumulated a total of 9817 points over his four-year stint on the cager squad, needing only 13 more to -p ut him into the sele~t group. Tomorrow night very well could be th e time when a new re cord is made at W-i lkes as the basketball team pla ys Elizabethtown. Rade ~ki has been put on the draft list of th e Eastern Professional Leagu e and ha.s received letters from several teams in the league, the last being from the Wilkes-Barre Barons who are claiming him as a territorial draft choice. By the ·way, the two other .p layers to score over a 1,000 points in their Wilkes careers were Len Batroney who holds th e all-tim e record with 1690 and George Morgan who turned the tri ck in three years to finish around the 1,100 mark. Basketball never knew better days at the college than the enthusiasm accorded the t eam by the local crowd during the las t two home games. During th e Lafayette game the entire gym actually rose as a body and scream ed wildly as the home team ti ed the mighty Leopards, 40-40. Ah, sweet music! Th en to prove that this outburst was not a fr eak occurence a throng of senior boys led by the one and only Dick Salus showed up at the S cranton game with bells and a big bass drum. The spirit of this group seemed to spread to the confines of the entire gym and th e place was throbbing throughout the evening . Who sa.id that spirit was dead at Wilkes? The persons most pleased with the add ed sp irit s hown in the past week, -i f you care to ask them, are th e playe rs themselves. Call it what you like - psychological eff ect, playing for the grandstand, or school spirit - but the team, or any team for that matter, seems to fun:tion better when they kno w that th e peopl e present are interested, trul y concerned with the final outcom e. Defeat at a time like this seems to han g a 1,000 tim es heavier a nd no one wishes to avoid this situation more than th e players or· participants who are the center of attraction . To th e victors belong the spoils, the teams want the spoils just as the fans do and the s-p oils come a lot Jaster and ea:!ier when there is cooperation. Remember that word - COO PE-RA TI-ON! It may hold th e key to the future sports at this college. Swimmers, Matmen, Cagers See Action at Home Saturday Mermen Meet MSC; Suffer Loss at ESSC, Protest Lycoming 'Win' by Donald B. Hancock The swimming team begins a full day of sports activity for Wilkes tomorrow when they meet Millersvill e State Coll ege at 2 p.m. at the YMCA ,pool. Millersville sports an early season victory over Lycoming and as a result of the splashers' close match with the Warriors last Saturday th ere is an indi·cation of s!tiff competition in tomorrow's dual. Last Wednesday the Wilkes swimming team lost its opening m eet of the season to an overpowering East Stroudsburg State College team by a score of 61 to 32 in the vicitors' pool. The rnermen's efforts to give Coach Pinkowski a victory in their first m eet under him were thwarted by th e stron g East Stroudsburg team. Carl "Ironman" Havira, the only t ripl e winner of the day, turned in the outstanding p erformance of the meet as he took first place in th e 200 yard in.clividual m edley, 200 yard butterfly, and the 200 yard br eaststroke events. Art Eckharit accounted for six .points as he captured second places in the 50 and the 100 yard freestyle events. Shovlin and Bender ha,uled in four points a s t hey took second and third places r espectiv ely in the 220 yard freesty le. Gerry Mohn aocounted for three additional i:; oints for W·i lkes as h e took second place in diving. Pat Shovlin took third in the 200 yard bac,kstroke and in the next event, t he 440 yard freest yle Bender took second to gain three more poi nts for Wilkes . Defeat Lycoming Saturday the Wilkes swimming team traveled to William sport and there defeated .th e Warriors of Lycoming College in a meet, th e r esults of which are being protested by Wilkes to th e Middle Atlantic Conference. The protest arose with the disqualification of both teams in the 400 yard freestyl e relay and the official's decision to have the event s,va-m again. The Colonels swam the event again a.nd lost it. However, a1:> far as 'Wilkes is concerned, it won the meet by a score of 44 to 39, prote&.ting the last relay. Again, "Hummer" Havira was the outstanding performer of the day as he hauled in fift een points through his efforts . Pat Shovlin and Art Eckhart a,ccounted for six points each; Gerry Mohn, five; Bender and Rolfe, four each; Hungartner, two; and Lesiuk and Donn, one point each.

The Lycoming Warriors com e to Wilkes with an unblemished record and an urge to "clump" the defending MAC champions. They are led by 137-l b. Harry Romig, outstanding wrestler in last year's MAC ,t ournament, who returns to action for tthe first time this season. Bob Pak, MAC champ at 147 lbs., is lost to the school for the remaining ,p art of the season because of academic diffi culties. The F&M squad features 123-lb. co-captain, Cleon Cassel who is undefeated this season in seven matches and 147-lb. gra,ppler Neil , DeLoz.ier who has compiled a 6-1 record season. The squad has a five win, two loss record with impressive vicltories over Harvard, Princeton, and VM I. Their losses have been to S:pringfield College and Syracuse University. Hofstra, is the only common foe on the Lycoming schedule and the Warriors ran roughshod over the Hofstra matmen, 28-7. F&M and Wilkes have no common fo e but as usual, both •n~akhes sho uld real~ !y be the top wrestling mrutches of th e year. I Blitzkriegs in First; Lewis Leads Parade Of High Games with 611 by John Nork The Smashers' short-lived stand in first place end ed Sunday night as they went in def eat, 3-1, at the hands of th e Blitzkriegs . The victory put the Blitzkriegs into first place, and put the Smashers into a second place tie with the Gutterduster s. T he Pinbusters started .their road to revenge after suffering a humiliating clean sweep defeat a week ago. They took 3 points from the King.pins. Other a ction saw the Gutterclusters and Fla,.tballs in an ev,e n split, 2-2. The second half must have some added charm attached to it because there are so.me interesting scores being turned out. Bill Watkins is a fine example with his 224-551 for his victorious Blitzkriegs. Fred Jacoby, 192-522, was second high for his team. John Sapiego was high man for the losing Smashers with a 192-527. Aid in va,in was given by Mark Adelson, 168-449. The last place Kingpins saw their duo from Nanticoke, Adam Gajewski and Jerry Kul esa, roll a 194482, 179-449, respectively.

BASKETBALL CIIXXIIIIIIXIXXXillliiil by Thomas Evans Action reached a fever pitch this W<'-ek in intramural basketball as the Rowdies strengthened their hold on the top spot in the National League, while the American loop was thrown into a practical fourway tie by the defeat of Gore Hall. A good team effort led the Kookies to an upset win over Gore Hall, 54-42. Sharp inside shooting by Frank Smith who was high scorer with 20, aided by the fine playmaking of Walt Ciolek and Tom Evans were featured by the Kookies. Lou Davis led Gore Hall in rebounding a.n d scoring with 18 points. Barre Hall moved into a tie for first place by winning two games. On Tuesday they squeezed past Warner Hall, 42-35.

The three phases include a fundraising campaign for equipment and facilities to train students in a graduate program of chemistry and physics. This is in connection with RCA's movement into the Valley. The second phase is that of an advanced scholarship program based on the achievements that past Wilkes graduates have obtained through this financial aid. The final phase will be to raise money in order to take advantage of present opportunities to acquire more property for athletic facilities.

For all those who have not yet purchased their season tickets, admission to this film will cost 60 cents. During intermission at the film s h o w i n g refreshments will be served without charge. The film society has had a good response to its ticket sale this semester. If the total program proves successful, there is a possibility that it could be a fall and spring semester project. Deadline Moved Up The Manuscript executive board has announced that the deadline for manuscripts ito be submitted to the literary magazine is now February 28. All college students . are encouraged to submit original literary, art, and music works. They may also submit any term papers or themes which were used in class rwor,k provided these themes were graded above average by their professors.

Contributions to the Manuscript do not exclude this type of factual writing. �Friday, February 19, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - Lilerary Sociely We are accustomed to criticism each week when our edition Elecls Van Dyke Praise for a Change reaches our public. Sometimes scathing, frequently chiding, often helpful, these criticisms point out to us our weaknesses and Great Books from History Subject of Discussion Groups aid us in trying to improve our newspaper. . However, last week's issue, despite a glaring typographical error in the headline of the main story, brought praise for a change, and from an unexpected source. Remarking on our page one stories on our page one stories on King's and Misericordia activities, the Times-Leader Evening News, on Monday, said in an editorial: In promoting two major activities of Misericordia and King's, the official publication of Wilkes demonstrated the good relations that exist among the three higher institu lions of learning. The development is as reassuring as it is stimulating. This is not to imply a lack of school spiriL There is plenty of that and room for team work as well, as there is no conflict between friendly rivalry and neighborliness. Each has its place. We are. pleased that the editorial writer of the local newspaper has understood our intentions so clearly. We have always felt that the insane and childish refusal to recognize the existence of neighboring colleges is folly. Most of the resentment which formerly existed, especially between Wilkes and King's, stemmed from half-remembered, fancied injuries dating back to the days of athletic competition between the two. Relations with College Misericordia have always been cordial, including the athletic relationships between the Back Mountain College and our own girls' basketball squad. We have often felt that a resumption of athletic competition between King's and Wilkes would be desirable, enjoyable, reasonably peacable, and even profitable. The debate teams compete, the Student Governments of both Colleges enjoy joint meetings and discussion groups, the Chemical Societies have particularly gra~g c0-0peration, and there is talk of the newly formed, unofficial and unaided bowling team meeting King's bowlers in match game competition. All these, ,v iewed in retrospect, may be seen as "ice-breaking" co-operation in an inevitable direction towards resumption of athletic competition. Unlikely? Perhaps, but the mind fairly reels at the possibilities of a King's-Wilkes football game for a Homecoming weekend for either or both colleges. We will continue to cherish this dream. If we can provide more evidence of friendly relations through our journalistic efforts, in addition to continuing friendly contacts in other areas, we will be quick t9 emphasize that evidence and make it public. by Steve Cooney Ned Va,n Dyke, freshman English major from the Bronx, New Y o:r.k, was elected ,p resident of the newly formed Wilkes College Literary Society at the society's organization meeting held recently in Weiss Hall. This new organization is composed of various members of the student body who are interested in reading some of the greatest books ever written. With the guidance of Dr. Davies, the club moderator, the society will formulate a list of books which its members wish to read. This list will be arranged in a chronological order beginning with the writings of Horner. Most of the books will be selected from the St. John's College "List of 100 of the Greatest Books." Society's Officers Elected to the office of vice-president at this organization meeting was Steve Schwa:r.tz. Schwartz and Van Dyke were responsible for the original formation of the organization. Meetings will be held every Sunday afternoon at 2 p.rn. in various dormitory lounges with the advisor, Dr. Davies, acting as chairman. A few other members of the Philosophy and English departments have volunteered to aid in the discussions each week, and the club has issued an open invitation to all interested faculty members to attend these discussions when ever they desire so.

There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts LEST WE FORGET A global answer is being sought to a global problem. Recently in Kerala, India a fierce election battle took place between the Communists and the non~Cornrnunists for government control. The non-Communist fa,ction won w.ith Ma.nnath Padmanabhan elected to head the Kerala government. Mannath Padmanabhan, the man most responsible for the triumph of the democratic forces over the Communists in the South India state of Kerala, said after his election to office, "The ideas of Moral ReArmament inspi.red the victory." He urgently called for the sending to Kerala of an MRA ideological force to consolidate the victory. The 83-year old leader of the united front said in a cable to Dr. Frank Buchman, initiator of the Moral Re-Armament: "We thank God for the democratic victory, yet the results indicate the Communist fortresses have not been pierced through. Ideological clarity alone can rout the canker. We are grateful for the ideas of Moral ReArmament which inspired us to victory. MRA is needed now more than ever to answer Communism completely by demonstrating a superior ideology available to all and winning men to God-inspired democracy." By popular vote last week the people of Kerala, the former Communist-ruled state, rejected Communism and put in power a united front of democratic parties. Five months ago, after the 28-month old Communist government was removed from office by President Prasad of India, Padmanabhan, who had headed the liberation movement, brought leaders of the bitterly divided relgious and political factions to the MRA conference in Switzerland. There they found the unity and the ideological task force to Japan for an all-Japan tour. Kishi, you recall, signed a mutual defense pact with the United States and has ;received much opposition for this political-economic move. The Prime Minister would like to solidify his position against subversive elements by inviting an MRA task force to Japan at this time. Kerala and Japan will determine whether Communism advances in highly literate and religious states or falls by the wayside as an outdated ideology as it has for the present in each of these states.

Though drops are essential in good eye care, few people understand their value and benefits. Yet drops are often .the key to the prevention of blindness and even to the saving of the eye itself. Contrary to popular opinion, they do not cause any marked discomfort. This information comes from a prominent ophthalmologist (eye physician), Dr. William T. Hunt, Jr., Philadelphia, a member of the conservation of vision committee of The Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. • Dr. Hunt advises people to see an eye physician once a year for an eye checkup, just as they see their family doctor or dentist regularly for medical or dental attention. This is because an eye physician can often tell whether trouble is brewing, at times through using different kinds of drops. For example, a trained eye physician can detect, during the examination of the eye-grounds, the beginning of inany common diseases - long before the illness is far enough advanced to show up elsewhere in the body. He does this simply by dropping medicine called a mydriatic into the eye. This enlarges the pupil and permits the doctor to look directly at the retina to see whether diabetes, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, or some kidney ailments may be present. The effect of the drops lasts only a few hours and causes little or no blu.r ring of vision. Other types of drops are used to prevent or treat infection, to Wilkes College Reversible Jackets See the new Quilted Corduroy Look Both with Wilkes Lettering 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

Sometimes the physician uses artificial tears as a wetting agent to give relief to people whose eyes are too dry. Since all drops are medicine, only a physician may use them or prescribe them for you to use. Sterility of eye drops is an important consideration. Drops are your friends. They won't hurt you. So be sure to see an eye physician to determine if you have any need for drops. Some of the symptoms might be inflammation, discharge, or persistent redness of the eye, blurred vision, halos about lights or pain in or about the eye. •Professional medical society of Pennsylvania eye, ear, nose and throat physicians.

Explains Policies I.C.G. to Attend Regional and Distant ·Conventions in Future by Steve Cooney The college chapter of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government is. making ,p reliminary plans for two conventions scheduled for the near futre. A regional convention will be held at Marywood College on March 6, to make final arrangements for the state nominating convention which will be in April. The state convention will be held in Harrisburg and this year will be geared to a mock presidential nominating assembly. Various chapters will support a candidate for the presidency. Caucuses and balloting will be employed just as in a political nominating convention, the only difference being that this will be a two-party convention. At the Marywood meeting the regional chapters will also run through a mock convention to get acquainted with the methods and various procedures. It is interesting to note that at the 1956 assembly Wilkes' delegation backed Adlai Stevenson who later won the Democratic nomination. The college group sent a telegram to Stevenson, and he later mentioned this fact, quite ha1ppily, at a political rally on Public Square. The I.C.G. club hopes to finance these convention trips by holding a candy sale for Easter. A self-ap-p ointed committee has drawn up a constitution and has submitted it to the Student Government for approval. Among the problems of the fledgling organization is the need for an advisor and ,a room in which to store equipment and hold meetings. The grourp also requires sufficient interest on the part of the student ,body. Necessity of having a radio operator's license is not a ,p rerequisite to membership in the club. 'Only an interest in radio is required. The club, when organized, plans to provide a number of services to students of the college, among which are the uniting of Wilkes with other colleges that have amateur readio stations, and the providing of free contact between the college and homes of dormitory students by means of both radio and telephone. Also included in the plans is the holding of classes in electronics and the theory and ,practice of code. Group Meets by Ralph Price . To Read!

The girls' basketball team won their first game in eight years! Eight years without a drink of water is a long time to be dry and the drink that came ,t o the scrappy bunch of Wilkes coeds will finally be entered on the record books. In checking around the college as to when the female set last did win a game, the trigger-sharp brains of the many professors were unable to come up with an answer. Mr. Reese, Director of Athletics, and Dean Ralston, former DA, could not remember when the girls had ever won a game. So there it is the first official basketball win in the history of Wilkes College in girls' intercollegiate competition. A salute is appropriate at ,t his time to the coach of the team, Miss Marita Zoolkowski, who is serving her first year as physical instructor of girls' hygiene and also her initial season as basketball mentor. Miss Zoolkowski has her charges hustling, hustling so much that they drive the varsity team off the hardwoods to hold practice sessions, and who knows with two game remaining on the schedule her coaching may lead to victories that will establish an unbeatable record at Wilkes.

Coaches Reese and Davis holding out for money as radio audience appeal increases. The Colonels made it four in a row and five in their last six games as they defeated Lycoming W ednesday, 70-61. It was the second win over the Warriors this season and raised the cagers' record to 9-9 with three games left to play. Wilkes dropped behind at the start of the game and didn't move ahead until five minutes left in the half. Wilkes led at halftime, 39-38. Lycoming pulled within two points of the Colonels at the 60-58 mark but 5 quick buckets iced the game for Wilkes. George Gacha led all scorers with 22 points on 11 field goals, 14 tallies coming in the first half. Bernie Radecki added 16 points and ,p ulled in 14 rebounds. Ron Roski chipped in with 15 markers, 9 in the first half. The basketball team enjoys a week's vacation as the men rest up for the final drive of the season starting with Drexel Institute of Technology on Wednesday. The game will be played in Philadelphia with starting time listed for 8 :30. The cagers have only two games left after the Drexel contest and play their last home game nex:t Saturday against East Stroudsburg. This will be the first meeting with the downstate team as the Colonels atld opponents in the Southern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. The only other southern division team the cagers meet is Dickinson. Drexel has been in a nip and tuck battle for the southern division lead with Ursinus all season. They took over .the top rung last week as they registered three victories to move into first place with a 6-2 record in conference play. However, the Dragons were beaten in their last contest by Lebanon Valley, 74-64. Wilkes dropped a 77-73 game to Lebanon Valley early ,t his season. Bob Morgan, junior guard, leads the Dragons in scoring with an 18point average per game, while junior forward, Rich Hilmer, is hitting the nets for 14.2 per game. Saturday's Results On Saturday the cagers won their third game in a row as they Lewis Leads Keglers In Win Over Penn State; Meet Bloom Sunday Dan Lewis led the bowling team in a close, 41-pin win over the Penn State Center Wednesday night at Lispi Lanes. The win completed a sweep for Colonel sports as both wrestlers and cagers won earlier in the evening. The new squad's record is now three wins, one loss.

The match was close all the way with F&M jumping off to a 3-0 lead on Cleon Cassel's decision over previously wibeaten Brooke Yeager. Wilkes then went ahead to stay on Dick Stauffer's pin in 4:26. I Brooke Yeager scored a 96-73 victory over Elizabethtown. The game was close at various times as Elizabethtown pulled to a 36-36 tie in the first half and then came within two points, 63-61, midway in the second half but Eddie Davis' charges put on the extra drive when it was needed and the game was soon out of the hands of the boys from Elizabethtown. Bernie Radecki paced the Wilkes scorers as he threw in 24 points, 17 coming in the first half as the senior forward hit long jump shots and registered 12 of the Colonels' first 15 tallies. Guard George Gacha scored 20 points to aid the Colonel cause with most of his goals corning on drive shots. Gacha backed up Radecki's first half assault with 14 points in the initial period. Center Ron Roski was the only other Wilkes player to hit in double figures. Roski scored 19 points and was a giant off the backboards. Girard Senick then took a 5-2 decision in the 137-lb. class. Captain Joe Morgan was shut out, 5-0, but Ted Toluba came back with a 10-2 win. Freshman Glenn Rittenhouse was beaten by F&M co-captain Skiip Taylor, 10-3. Marv Antinnes posted an 11-2 victory to put Wilkes ahead in the match, 14-9. Heavyweight Bob Sislian put the finishing touches to F&M as he ,b eat Cliff McClain, 2-0, to insure the Colonel victory. Moravian Tomorrow The next opponent for the Colonel grapplers will be the Moravian "Greyhounds" tomorrow at 4 in the college gym. The Moravian wrestlers come to Wilkes with an undefeated slate in eight starts. Their latest victim was Lebanon Valley whom they defeated, 24-8. The Colonels defeated the "Flying Dutchmen", 33-3, earlier this season. The Moravian squad will feature six undefeated wrestlers with Bill Rinker, a 130-lb. sophomore, as their biggest threat. Dave Bryant, Greyhound 177-pounder, comes to Wilkes-Barre with a 7-1 record including a victory over Dave Miller of Lebanon Valley. Lycoming Meet "How beautiful is victory but how dear" can best describe the attitude of the throngs of people who watched Bob Sislian (see Athlete of the Week) put a pressure pin on Lycoming's lumbering John Wilbur and give the Wilkes wrestlers a much deserved16-11 victory over the Warrior rnatrnen of Lycoming. The tenseness of the match was carried throughout the crowd by Colonel rooters who wanted to return the "crying towel" to Lycoming and when the score was tied, 11-all, the fever had reached the breaking point going into the heavyweight bout. Big Bob Sislian, the Colonel bread-and-butter man, lost little .time in bringing the winning laurels ,to the Blue and Gold squad when he reversed Wilbur and applied a half-nelson hold for the pin and the match as the house went wild. The stage for the fabulous climax was set when the Warrior 177pounder Bob Jones edged out Bob Herman in a thrilling match. The Wilkes hopeful was wrestling in his first college meet and looms as one of the top grapplers of the Wilkes ,b right wrestling future. In another thrilling match, Dick Stauffer of Wilkes and Bill Kerig maintained their undefeated records in the 130-1:b. class by emerging with a scoreless draw. Another battle of unbeatens found Marv Antinnes, Colonel 167lb. kingpin, decisioning Ed Receski, 5-1. Marv missed making it five consecutive pins of the season by not touching Receski's shoulders to the mat. Brooke Yeager, 123-lb., and Ted Toluba, 157-1,b., were the other victorious Colonels as they won decisions over Lee Wolf, 8-5, and Pete Dutrow, 7-1. Summaries Wilkes: Lewis 204-592, Myers 201-531, Jerry Chisarick 191-519, Gozdiskowski 200-501, and Fred Jacoby 158-459.

The Pirrbusters, defeated by the Blitzkriegs, 3-1, continued their slump and slipped into a last place tie with the Flatballs. Other action saw the Kingpins cop three points from the Flatballs. Dan Lewis and Dick Myers, the mainstays of the powerful Gutterdusters,, rolled 204-581 and 233-553. John Sapiego's 190-511 performanee proved to be in vain as his Smashers went down in defeat. Mark Adelson rolled a 146-421 for the losers. Fred Jacoby and Bob Hewitt were high men for the victorious Blitzkriegs. Jacoby had a 180-494, Hewitt had a 159-457. Emil Petrasek, 235-557, welcomed a surprise 515 series from Bob Barovich, but their efforts were not enough to overcome a determined Blitzkrieg team. A faulty first game prevented Adam Gajewski, a top ten bowler, from reaching the 500 circle as he settled for a 200-493, for his Kingpins.

PM,C, like Wilkes, was defeated by Millersville. Although they won seven of the elev,e n events against Millersville, PMC was nevertheless defeated, indicating a lack of depth in its squad.

Art Club Organized; Poster Painting Service Offered to Campus Clubs Initial plans for the organization of a campus Art Clu'b have been completed and submitted to Dean Ralston and the Student Government for final approval. For a considerable length of time, art majors have felt the lack of any organization, save Cue 'n' Curtain, to provide an outlet for artistic talent. As a result, tentative plans drawn up by Marie Realmuto and Leonard Yoblonski were seized upon by approximately twenty-five art students and put into effect. Membership in the club would be open to all students - especially art students, weekly meetings would ,be held, a workshop and field trips would ,be sponsored by the group, and exhibits would be set up. A feature of the Club which should be especially interesting to harassed publicity chairmen is the poster-making service. Members of the Club would design and paint posters which would be available to other campus organizations for a nominal cost which would cover the cost of materials. This service would not only provide a much-needed service for publicity committees, but would also provide lettering pra,ctice for art students. Therefore by organizing such a club the "Rembrandts" of the campus would :provide benefits for •b oth the college-at-large and their own group. .

Several athletes have volunteered to attempt to ride these hannless-looking ornery little donkeys. Last year the athletes proved that man was the master by amassing a score of 14 points, to go down in defeat, 18-14. Their superb donkeymanship came to the fore as they were thrown, buckedoff and dumped to the floor. They spent more time getting up from the floor than riding. • S.A.M. Hosts Speakers, • JncIUde AVia • tion, Top1cs . Insurance and Umons I At the regular weekly meeting of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management held last W ednesday, Mr. E. B. Stringham, District Manager of the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, addressed the group. His topic concerned the new clauses that have come into being in life insurance and w,h at to look for when buying a policy. Mr. Stringham also spoke of the role that SAM has played in his business life. His address should prove beneficial to the total membership. On T.hursday night, February 18, the Society sojourned to the American Legion, Post 132, on North River Street. The key attraction · at -this meeting was the presence of Mr. Richard O'Donnell, process engineer at the Murray Plant in Scranton, and for several years the President of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Senior SAM Chapter. Mr. O'Donnell was not confined to any :particular ,t opic. This provided -the members the opportunity to ask as many questions as they wished concerning ,business practices, unions, and production. Seeking New Members SAM is constantly seeking new members. Anyone who feels that he or she could benefit from SAM is cordially invited to sit in at any of th e regular weekly m eetings held each Wednesday at 12:15 p.m . in Pickering, room 203 . The Society for the Advancement of Management at Wilkes is devoted to extracurricular education. Although the members fully realize that the SAM program is no substitute for classroom activity, the Galloping George Ralston and team took advantage of the situation as they dumped in point after point, when they weren't getting up, remounting, or being thrown. They piled up enough points to win easily, 18-14, over the game but often thrown athletes. The athletes vow revenge this year, and some mumbling to the effect that someone tampered with ,t heir donkeys last year. One althlete claimed his nasty steed had been fed red ,p eppers and couldn't stand still. A <tentative list of athletes who will attempt to ride the "untouchalbles" includes : Frank "Texas" Spudis, Marv "Quick-draw" Antinnes, "Panhandle" Dobrowalski, "Two Gun" Gacha, "Fighting" Fred Williams, and Carl "Waterhole" Havira. The names of the faculty team are ,b eing kept secret mainly because five faculty members who wish to commit suicide are hard to find. particpaition in SAM is felt to be supplementary to regular schooling. Keeping in direct contact with ,business and professional men supplies a greater perspective, a 1broader view, and a clearer look to the future for student members of SAM. Future Programs The Society has more of the same t ype programs planned for the near future. Several members have requested an authoritarian view regarding opportunities for employment in aviation and surrounding fields. •S uch a program will be presented. An overall view of large-scale department store operations will also be :presented by the executives and division heads of Fowler, Dick and Walker - The Boston Store. The la.tter will be presented as a series and the entire student body and guests will be invited. , •..I kept worrying about the job •••" • , Behind the wheel, , your only job is driving!

The case should prove interesting. We have heard arguments from people concerned with each side of the debate. We have not yet seen the full report of all action taken on the matter and realize fully that each side of the story was explained to us colored by the interests of the people who related 1he "facts." We haven't formed an opinion on the matter yet, but an interesting side-light was revealed when the issue was made public. It seems that the I.C.G. failed to provide chaperons for its recent dance, "The Merry Mixup," a prophetically apt title. Further, the reasons given for this failure to follow procedure was that the committee responsible for chaperons was unable to locate faculty members to serve in this capacity. We see here a curious thing. Certainly not every faculty member was consulted. All dances in the past have had chaperons in attendance; it is unthinkable that there should suddenly be none available. Whatever the cause for their absence, we cannot help but observe that it is a distressing sign that faculty members who will support student social affairs are so scarce, especially when nothing more is required of them than their presence. It is further distressing to note that all the chaperons who ~o so support the affairs are generally the same people. Here is the curious aspect of the case. We h~ve a certain numbe~ of really interested faculty people who will act as chaperons time after time. Further, most of these people will dress in weird costumes, read "beat" poetry, gobble watermelons and cherry pie, saw logs, and even risk life and limb playing basketball on the backs of donkeys. That's real cooperation. On the other hand, we have faculty members who have never been seen in the gymnasium except for final exams and who compound the felony by frequent and vociferous criticism of the conduct of social affairs. It may be further true that these people are really unable to attend because of other commitments, but it seems inconceivable that of nearly 90 faculty members, only about two dozen are on the "available" list. We are fully aware that employment as ':1n in~tr_uctor _in this College does not carry any obligation for social mixmg with the students. We also are aware that there are far more important matters than chaperoning social affairs, but we are told as freshmen that the marks of an educated man include more than mere academic achievement. We are told that practice of social graces is of considerable value. Wha~ puz~les us is . how w'! are to attain this well-rounded personality without seemg sufficient examples of it from those who preach it to us.

Senior Dinner Dance Next Friday Evening; Nork, Cardone Entertain Seniors are reminded that the Dinner Dance will be held next Friday night at the Wilkes-Barre American Legion Home, North River Street, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. Mr. Robert C. Riley, instructor in the psychology department, will be after-dinner s p ea k er. He has chosen "Love and Marriage" as the theme for his address. Following the dinner, the comedy t eam of Nork and Cardone will entemain. Both are Wilkes students and have been making rapid progress in the entertainment world. Joe Cardone is a junior business education major, John Nork a sophomore psychology major; both men are from Nanticoke. The menu for the dinner includes a choice of m eat or seafood. Seniors may indicate their choice when purchasing tickets. This is the last planned activity for the class as whole before final arrangements for graduation; it is seen as a final chance for seniors to meet socially before ending their college careers. Music for dancing will be provided by the Statesmen immediately following the dinner until midnight. Student Leaders Comment On Fund Drive, Weekend by Jim Jackiewicz The first Student Leaders' Conference of the spring semester was held Tuesda.y evening in the College Commons. A report was presented on organizational leadership and the need for the training of future student leaders. The annual S,p ring Weekend was discussed and a number of club and dormitory representa,.. tives consented to have their respective organizations construot displays similar to those of Homecoming, should such a ,p lan be adopted. The Arnnicola and the Beacon submitted financial statements. The major topic of discussion was that of .t he College Fund Drive for the development program. A question concerning student -p articipation in the drive was raised. An informal vote was taken in favor of the students' contributing. Also various, plans for donation were brought forth and discussed. A pledge plan, such as a dollar a month for a ,p eriod of several months was suggested and voted upon favorably by the students in atitendance. A number of various announcements were made at the general discussion portion of the meeting. The King's Players To Present "Hamlet" by Steve Cooney The King's Players of King's College will present William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" on March 10, 11, and 12 at 8 p.m. in their new theater locat ed in t he new King's College Science Building. In addition to the use of the arena and proscenium stages, the "Hamlet" produc-tion will be presented on an open stage. It is expected that this three-way stage will offer greater flexibility and greater sweep, scope, and color to classical staging techniques than has ever been used in the theater. Mr. Carl E. Wagner, director of The King's Players, stated that he believes the open stage set-up as it will be used in "Hamlet" is the only one of its kind in the United States. Invitation Extended to C'n'C As a part of the continuing closer relationship of the two colleges, the King's Players have invited the Cue 'n' Curtain Club to an "Open Theater" gathering on Sunday, March 13. Several scenes from "Hamlet" will be presented to demonstrate the new open stage technique followed by a social hour and tour of the new facilities. l................................... Campus Observer ! Friday, February 26, 1960 CAMPUS PROGRESS Last Tuesday's assembly revealed plans for an athletic field, but did not mention any other future developments. Several projects are planned for the next decade : A Fine Arts Building, a new library, a new wing on Stark Hall for the graduate and research program required by RCA, new dorms to house 200 additional students, a dining hall capa:ble of serving 400 boarding students, and finally, an engineering building. • Improvements and renovations are planned for some of the buildings presently on campus. One of the few buildings on campus that is un-named is at 159 South Franklin Street, which now houses the English offices and the Beacon office. This building is scheduled to be torn down; the land will then be partially landscaped, the remaining section to be used to widen the driveway and entrance to Stark Hall. Many of the dorms are presently in the process of being painted and r epaired. TALK -TALK - TALK In a recent education class, a student happened to mention the possibility of recall concerning certain members of the Student Government. The possibility of recall, which is similar to impeachment proceedings, was mentioned in connection with the a-c tion taken by the Student Government in cutting the funds entirely from the I.C.G. No Student Government members were present in the above-mentioned education class to defend themselves. The Student Governme:rut later, after more consideration, reappropriated one-half of the funds to the I.C.G. It is important to mention here that the Court of Appeals is used to arbitrate any Student Government decision that a student may object to. PERSONAL NOTES Sal Valenti, a graduate of Wilkes, was accepted for graduate work in the Bio-Chemistry Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Shirley Bachman, Dean Ralston's secretary, was married to Michael J. Weiss, Jr., in West Pittston on February 12, 1960. OPEN DATE REQUESTS An announcement was made last week by the Student Government that the date of May 6 was open because of a cancellation. This announcem ent brought a torrent of requests from many of the various groups and clubs on campus to use this date. No organization has as yet been chosen to fill this open date. POOR ENGINEERING This past week the Manuscript was showing "Death of a Salesman" when, right after intermission, a loud crash was heard. The film was being shown in room 116 of Stark Hall, and several persons went into the hall to find the reason for the noise. Nothing could be found at that time, but after the film was completed several persons passing the Engineer exihibt noticed that the top shelf of the display had collapsed. One of the viewers commented, "No wonder Russia is ahead in the missile race!" Yours truly, The Observer I There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Until just a short time ago, Cyprus was an island of bloodshed and violence due to strife between the British, Turks and Greeks. Now, on the first anniversary of the signing of the London pea ce agreement, the Greek President-elect, Archbishop Makarios, and Turkish Vice-President-elect Dr. Kutchuk today issued messages of welcome to Cyprus to the force of German miners who are on a world mission with the ideological play, "Hoffnung" (Hope). In an island alive with anticipation of the coming of independence, disappointment over deadlocked negotiations, fear of renewed violence, and sharpening of the ideological struggle between Moral ReArmament and Communism, word of the coming of the MRA force of seventy-five sent on the world mission by Chancellor Adenauer has gone from town to town and village to village. Enthusia sm mounts hourly. The following statement was issued from the Archbishopric today: "Archbishop Makarios has noted with interest that the German miners sent by Chancellor Adenauer are going to Kerala, India, Japan and America at the invitation of national leaders; that on the way they will pass through Cyprus where they would be prepared to give a performance of the play, "Hoffnung". His Beatitude is aware of the distinctive role played by the miners' force in creating better understanding at the time of Chancellor Adenauer's visit to London. Having in mind the high moral objectives of Moral Re-Armament the Archbishop welcomes such a timely visit by the miners to Cyprus." In his message Kutchuk said: "I have heard with great interest of the force of German miners sent by Chancellor Adenauer who have gone to the countries of Europe with a m essage of hope and unity. Their power of reconciling countries and of giving a strong moral foundation to every nation is what Cyprus needs at .this very crucial hour in her history. I fully support the high moral purposes of the ideology of Moral Re-Armament. That is why I warmly welcome this force of German miners to Cyprus with their play, 'Hoffnung'." This visit and showing of 'Hoffnung' is a main news item on the Cyprus Radio and the talk of the island .press. A leading Cypriot Communist paper attacks the manifesto "Ideology and Co-Existence" in a series of front page articles on MRA. A guerilla leader of the EOKA revolution said, "The choice for Cyprus is Communism, r enewed bloodshed, or Moral Re-Armament. Cyprus is the island where the United Nations P eace Force had all but given up hope for a peaceful settlement!!! WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ...

Wilkes started fast and moved to an early 7-4 lead but then dropped behind to 45-30 at halft1me.

Both men have scored over a thousand points in their college careers and in doing so set an unprecedented record at Wilkes. It was the first time in the history of the school that two players hit 1,000 in the same year. Gacha is a 5'9" guard who hails from Wilkes-Barre. He is leading the team in scoring this year and is averaging 18 points per contest.

Leading the Colonel matmen will be MAC champions Dick Stauffer, 130-lbs., and "Mustang Marv" Antinnes, 177-lbs. Gettysburg will counter with a well~balanced squad featuring Mike Basilio, reigning MAC heavyweight champion. The Bullets have always had a strong wrestling team and were MAC titlist until four years ago when the Colonels captured the crown. PJ,aying before a crowd of 1,100 fans, last Saturday the Colonels trimmed a -p reviously undefeated Moravian mat team, 20-10. Brooke Yeager, flashy 123-lb. Wilkesman, pinned Dick Gross in 1 :20 after having a ten-second takedown. Dick Stauffer followed with a pin in 4 :29 over Bill Rinkin who had entered the meet undefeated. Rinkin was reversed early in the second period and Dick tangled the "Greyhound" up with a split scissors hold to register the fall. Gene Medei captured Moravian's first points by out-pointing Gerard Senick, 6-2. The closest match of the evening found Joe Morgan, 147lb. Colonel co-captain, and Dan Turner ending the match with four points apiece for a draw. The Colonels returned to their winning ways when Ted Toluba decisioned Dick Bedico, 12-4. Ted led throughout the match and had a fairly easy time with the Moravian wrestler. The 167-lb. clash was the second draw of the afternoon when Glen Rittenhouse and Dave Bryant ended their bout, 10-10. Marv Antinnes continued his mastery in the 177-lb. class by decisioning Steve Edraney, 4-0. The Moravian matman seemed to take pride in the hope of not getting pinned and spent most of the afternoon on his stomach, •k eeping Marv from registering a fall. The heavyweight bout was slowmoving with Moravian's Dick Schaeffer decisioning Bo:b Sislian, 2-0.

That is how Dr. Michelini explained his proficiency in all sorts of eating competition, after winning the cherry pie-eating contest at last week's "Cherry Tree Chop." He has brought home three trophies for eating the most watermelon in the Lettermen's Shoe Shine Day contest, and four trophies for the cherry pie gorging events. This makes Dr. Michelini the undisputed champion in these gargantuan endeavors. Dr. Michelini has admitted that his fondness for watermelon knows no bounds, ,but h e adds that cherry pie is not to his liking . Whether his victories were the cause of this, he did not say. With this secret out, it should ,b e easy for any future competitor to win out over Dr. Michelini. As for the start of it all, he recalls a Biology Club dance at Thanksg iving time in 1956. The refreshments were cider and doughnuts. Owing to bad weather the crowd at -the affair was quite small, leaving a, ,p lentiful supply of doughnuts that no one seemed interested in consuming. When the chaperons were approached with this ,p roblem, Dr. Michelini, as one of them, suggested a doughnut eating contest and volunteered to compete. From then on he has served religiously in any such contests. H ere may be added t hat this was the first and last eating bout that he ever lost. Dr. Francis Michelini Rumor also has it that the students will be seeing him on top of a four-legged obstinate creature tion las-t year will remember that within the next few weeks. All he wa.s the leading scorer for the those who saw him in such a posi- faculty team. Juniors Boosl Two Allraclions; Presenl Second Donkey Baskelball The Junior Class will present two outstanding events in the near future: the Donkey Basketball game and the Louis Armstrong Show. The Donkey Basketball game is an annual event, with athletes on one team and members of the faculty on the other team. This year the game will be held at the gym on March 9. A trophy will be presented to the winning t eam and to the highscoring player of the game. The faculty team, the defending champs, will consist of : Dean Ralston, Russell Picton, Bob Morris, John Reese, Dr. Francis Michelini, Richard Kutchkoff, Dr. John Ga.ito, and Francis Pinkowski. Opposing the faculty team will be the following students: Joe Morgan, Bernie Radecki, Ray Marchakitus, Frank Spudis, Marv Antinnes, Fred Williams, George Gacha, Carl Ha vira, and Al Dobrowalski. Anyone who attended the game last year will remember the excitement as the "Faculty Flashes" defeated the "Student Stars." This year's game promises to be even more exciting when the students try t o a venge their loss. Jim McCarthy, local sportscaster, will again be on hand to relate the blow by blow and the fall by fall description of the game. Dean Ralston feels confident that history will repeat itself and the faculty will be triumphant once more. He commented: "It will be a good game and the competition PIZZA will be tough, but it's a sure thing for the faculty. How could you beait a coonbination of faculty members and donkeys? The faculty can easily beat the students because of the faculty's experience, maturity, and donk ey sense which the students don't have. Students drive cars too much and don't get enough exercise. Therefore, the fa culty is in better ,p hysical condition and has more ri,gorous stamina." Advance tickets will soon be on sale for this game at the cafeteria. "Louey Day" Planned" The second outstanding event will be t he Louis Armstrong Jazz Concert. The Juniors have designated March 15 as Louey Day, the initial campaign day for this class project. Television and radio stations will publicize this affair, and students will canvass the various colleges to sell tickets for this show. Chase theater will be the publicity headquarters for the sale of tick ets. The two-hour show will take -p lace Saturday evening, April 30. The Class of '61 is also planning a Junior Weekend, which will proba,bly be h eld at the end of April. CASA Famous for Its Italian Food 24 Public Square PIZZA BAKED DAILY 11 A.M. to 12 P.M.

Present at Monday's report meeting was David Vann, an alumnus of Wilkes, who spoke about the scholarship aid program. Mr. Vann r ec,eived scholarship aid while at Wilk es and he stated that this aid not only enabled him to attend college, but also provided him with the opportunity to show leadership abilities which resulted in a Rotary Scholarship for one y,ear of study at Rhodes University in South Africa. Dr. Farley and Russell Picton are going to visit the various alumni chapters in places such as Binghamton, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Easton, Allentown, and Reading. In rthis particular area a committee of 50 alumni has been established with Clayton Bloomburg as division leader. These people will visit the graduates of Wilkes living in the Valley to solicit their aid in the campaign. Other divisions of the campaign are being led by: James P.

Senior Dinner Dance Tonight at Legion; Music by Statesmen by Pat Rossi Next Wednesday evening the "Student Stars" will oppose the "Faculty Flashes" in one of the funniest basketball games on the court - Donkey Basketball, a combination of a rodeo, a circus, and a basketball game. The "Student Stars," the Wilkes athletes, will try to avenge their loss of last year to the "Faculty Flashes," members of the college faculty. In this game, there are only four men on a team, two guards and two forwards. To start the game, each team gets set under a basket using the opposite basket as their goal. Players can retrieve the ball and pass it only if they are mounted or if they have the reins in their hands. A ,p layer can ride the length of the floor with the ball, but he cannot hold it more than 15 seconds. All of the baskets must be made while the player is mounted. As a change from the regular basketball rules, the players can substitute anytime they wish merely by walking onto the ftoor and taking the other player's place. In this game just about anything goes because there are no out-of-bounds, time-outs, or fouls. The "Faculty Flashes" will have as their player-coach, Dean of Men George F. Ralston. His fellow teammates will be: Dr. Francis Michelini, Dr. John Gaito, Francis Pinkowski, Russell R. Picton, Jr., John Reese, Richard Krutchkoff, and Robert Morris. On the opposing team, Al Dobrowalski will be the captain and player-manager of the "Student Stars." Members of his team include: Joe Morgan, Bernie Radecki, Ray Marchakitus, Frank Spudis, Marv Antinnes, Fred Williams, George Gacha, and Carl Havira. The starting lineup of each team is still a deep-guarded secret, but don't worry, you shouldn't have too much trouble distinguishing them from their four-footed accomplices. Jim McCarthy, local sportscaster, will be on hand to relate the description of the game. Bill Hawke, general chairman, has announced that two trophies will be awarded - one trophy to the winning team and one trophy to the high scorer of the game. Donkey Basketball is being brought to Wilkes-Barre under the sponsorship of the Jnior Class, and it will be played in the college gymnasium on Wednesday night beginning at 8 p.m. The price for this unusual night of entertainment is only 65 cents for adults and 35 cents for children under 12. The various chairmen and their committees have worked hard to make this event a success. Ray Van Why and Jane Jablonski are cochair.men of publicity; Al Dobrowalski, the riders; Dave Kline and Bob Ontko, the door; Edward Kemps, arrangements; Herb Kline and Phil White, tickets. by Lynne Dente Today is the last day that tickets for the Senior Class Dinner Dance will be sold.

The dance will be held at the Wilkes - Barre American Legion Home on North River Street. Dinner will be served at 7, and afterward Mr. Robert G. Riley, instructor in the psychology department, will speak to the group on the subject of love and marriage. Following the dinner, the comedy team of Nork and Cardone will entertain.

Perhaps we have enough to do without meddling in the affairs of campus organizations, but the following is meant as constructive criticism. The School Spirit Committee was formed several years ago as a self-appointed guardian of student enthusiasm. Whenever any event concerning the entire student body was in the planning stages, this group made it its business to see that everyone was informed about the activity and encouraged to take active part, or at least give active support. At first the group performed cheerleader duties, to put it simply. Since, however, the Committee has taken a broader interpretation of its function and is active in nearly every phase of campus life. Few organizations with worthwhile projects have operated without moral support from the Committee. The Amnicola, for example, has benefitted greatly from the Committee's efforts to see that "booster" ads to aid publication are taken by individuals and clubs. When the Committee was first formed, we felt that its existence was unnecessary, the result of a pessimistic view of campus spirit, even an insult to .the active students who cheerfully supported every activity possible. We felt that the admission by the Committee that school spirit needed boosting was a negative attitude, but said nothing about it. Since, many people from many areas ouside the College have commented on the good spirit of the Wilkes students, their pride in their College, and their participation in worthwhile community efforts. We feel that these welcome comments are all the reward needed by those who render such community services. Whether these recent comments reflect an increased show of school spirit is debatable. We have always insisted that Wilkes College has always had plenty of spirit and therein rests our argument. We feel that the need for a School Spirit Committee - if such need ever existed at all - is no more. There is need for what the Committee is doing, however. Rather than concern itself with whipping up enthusiasm where enthusiasm is already sufficient, we are pleased to see that the Committee is taking upon itself such important duties as the conduct of the coming Spring Weekend. We are not advocating the abandonment of the Committee, but we do request it to consider a change of name. It is an active group and an enthusiastic one. It deserves and gets, support from all phases of campus life. More important, however, is its need for a more appropriate title. An outsider would get the irnression that all the school spirit at Wilkes is found in the committee of the same name and that the organizations it supports rely upon it for getting results. This is far from the truth. School spirit belongs to all the students and giving the title to one group is a negative reflection on every other group. Finally, we feel that the group does it~elf a disservice with the title, since its work concerns itself with far more important things than mere "drum-beating." We feel it should take on a name with broader implications and let the term "school spirit" stay where it belongs - with every student and every group active on campus. WHAT . . . WHERE . . .

STICKY TACTICS (ACP) - A dean at Henderson State Teachers College (Ark.) has come up with a new system of getting students to attend class, says the Henderson Oracle. -The dean suggests that schools begin giving stamps for class attendance. !Upon filling a ,book of these stamps, students would be awarded gifts from stores downtown. The dean also suggested that stamps be given for grades. The Oracle comments: "While this seems very improbable at present, several schools have had certain systems in awarding special letters or awards to students with special scholastic ability. One school in the northern states (unidentified) used the same lettering syst~m as the athletic department in all departments. If a student made top ,g rades in math classes, he received a sweater and letter signifying that he had lettered in math." held at the first meeting in May, and elections will take place the following week. In the future, the members plan to set up an am exhi,b it displaying creative and artistic works in oils, pen and ink, water colors, and charcoal. They are also planning a field trip and a possible museum tour during the ensuing months. :,That horn-blower behind me got my goat.;•" • Even good clrivers can be :forced into accidents!

A total of 21 schools have entered teams with the top contenders for the crown being Wilkes, Lycoming, Hofstra, and West Chester State College. The large number of wrestlers insures keen com,petition, and to make rnatiters rougher, there are six 1959 chMnpions and one 1958 titlist among the more than 150 entries who will compete for eight division crowns. Wilkes has three defending champions on its squad. Dick Stauffer, with an undefeated record, is last year's 123-lb. titlist ,w ho has moved up to the 130-lb. class. Ted Toluba is the defending 157-lb. title holder. He is back in top shape after a bad start this season because of injuries to his shoulder. Marv Antinnes, who has an unblemished record for the last two seasons, moves up to the 177-lb. class after capturing the laurels in the 167-J.b. class last season. Other champions entered include: Harry Roonig, 137-lb. champ from Lycoming, who was outstanding wrestler in last year's meet; Mike Pacilio, Gettysburg heavyweight, who has a 10-0 record this season; ,a nd John Ayre, 130-lb. titlist from Bucknell. Down Gettysburg, 27-3 The Wilkes wrestlers tuned up for the MAC tournament with an impressive 27-3 victory over the Gettysburg grapplers.

Marv Antinnes scored his twentythird consecutive victory by pinning Gettysburg's Lindley with a crucifix hold in 4 :04. The Colonel's 177lb. grappler looked as impressive as always in extending his winning skein. Wilkes' captain and 137-lb. wresler, Joe Mor,g an, finished his collegiate wrestling career in dualmeets in fine style by registering a 4:44 fall over Norm Maisel. Dick Stauffer also continued his winning ways by scoring a second period pin, via the cradle hold, over Jim Comas in the 130-lb. class. Freshman Brooke Yeager also looked very ,good in decisioning the Bullets' Tom Propst, 9-7, in the 123-lb. class. MAC 157-lb. champ Ted Toluba scored his third win in a row with an impressive 6-0 decision a,t the expense of Jim White. Mik~ Armstrong and Glenn Rittenhouse, 147 and 167-lb. Wilkes wrestlers, saw things pretty much the same way. They wrestled twin brothers and each won by a decision. Armstrong decisioned Norman Henry in a close bout, 5-4, while Rittenhouse widened the gap and decisioned brother Pat Henry, 8-1.

The Wilkes delegation will be led by Carl Havira who will swim in the 200 yard butterfly, 200 yard :b reaststroke, and the 200 yard individual medley events. Pat Shovlin will compete in the 200 yard butterfly and the 200 yard individual medley events with Havira. Art Eckhart will be entered in the fifty and the 100 yard freestyle events. Dick Bender will participate in the freshman diving event. Wilkes versus Pennsylvania Military College Wednesday, February 24, the Colonel tankmen took advantage of Pennsylvania Military College's lack of depth to defeat them, 51 to 44, and ,b ring home their first win of the season. Despite the fact that they won seven of the eleven events, the weakness which PMC had displayed against Millersville State College again proved to be the reason for their defeat. Leading by a slim margin of three points, Carl Havira withdrew from the 200 yard breaststroke to participate in the 400 yard freestyle relay, the last event of the meet. PlYiC tied the score, 44 to 44, in the breaststroke event but the Colonel team of Ed Gavel, Pat Shovlin, Carl Havira, and Art Eckhart won the relay to clinch the meet, 51 to 44. Blitzkriegs in First; Gutterdusters Fall As Pinbusters Gain by John Nork First place has changed hands so many times in the scond half of the season that onlookers are led to assume that equality was the essence when the ,b owlers were parcelled out to their respective teams. Each team, with the exception of the Pinbusters and the Kingpins, has claimed at least once to have possessed the coveted position. The process was repeated once again Sunday as the Gutterdusters were forced out of first by the 3-1 victory of the Blitzkriegs. In other action, the Pinbusters flattened the Flatballs, 4-0, and the Smashers copped three points from the Kingpins. Dave Gozdiskowski, 177-515 and Fred Jacoby, 178-511 led their Blitzkriegs in their victory upset of the Gutterdusters. For the first Ume in a long time, Dick Myers and Dan Lewis' efforts failed to formulate in victory for their Gutterdusters. Myers had a 203-556, Lewis a 186-512. The Pinbusters finally snapped out of a slump, and in a big way, as .they took a clean sweep victory from the Flatballs. Emil Petrasek showed tremendous form rolling a 222-617. Dave Sokira, the No. 2 bowler of the league, chipped in with a 203-556. The Flatballs had Jerry Chisarick and Tom Evans roll a 199-504 and 169-487, but their (contmued on page ,) Next time one of her dates bring up the SchleswigHolstein question, she'll really be ready for him.

The girls will bake the cookies with the assistance of the home economist from the P.P.&L. The cookies will be sold from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The girls will prepare pineapple and ranger cookies. The cookies will be priced at 45 cents a dozen. Pre-sale orders will be taken by chairman Jane Neddoff and her committee on first floor of the cafeteria on Monday from 12 to 1. Any girl interested in working on Monday night or Tuesday for the bake sale should contact Jane Neddoff today or Monday. Workers are needed to .prepare the mixture on, Monday night and to bake and sell on Tuesday. Members are reminded that cooperation and organization are needed to make the sale a success. There is the ,p ossibility that, if there is no co-operation from the members of TDR, the bake sale will be cancelled. Chairman Neddoff has stated that there has been little interest shown so far. Another reminder is that other organizations have held bake sales which have been successful. Science Departments Plan High School Exhibition by Steve Cooney The various science departments of the college are formulating plans for the annual high school science show which will be presented April 1 and 2 in Stark Science Hall. The biology, chemistry, and physics departments will each make contributions to the show, with Dr. Charles Reif, chair.man of the biology department, acting as coordinator and general chairman of the group. Exact plans of what will be presented at the show have not been released yet. One show will be given on Friday evening, .April 1, and one each on the morning and afternoon of Saturday, April 2. Student chairman of the affair, Bill Davis, has announced that the two-day program will be free to the high school students and also interested members of the student body. It is interesting to note that the science show had its beginning at a time when the college did not have adequate science facilities, but the recently constructed science hall provides perfect accomodations and atmosphere for the annual show. -and- Sam's Kosher Delicatessen Narrows Shopping Center Kingston - Edwardsville For a Snack between Meals Groceries - Dairy Food - Kosher Meats 298 So.

At this time all tickets will have been giv~n out to all Valley and neighbormg colleges. Tickets are also being placed in various stores and agencies in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and all surrounding towns. Students are r equested to purchase their ticket s early because a limited num ber will ib~ sold on campus. The tickets will sell for $2.00 each and can be purchased in Chase Theater, or from a member of the Junior Class. The campus publicity committee headed by Vince Capo has planned some surprise publicity for the campus to make this publicity day a success. . All persons who signed up to sell tickets and any other interested persons can pick up their tickets Tuesday or Wednesday in Chase Theater between 11 and 2 o'clock. The Girls' Chorus and the Collegians will join forces tomorrow evening when they enter the 71st "_Cynonfardd" Eisteddfod competition ait Dr. Edwards Memorial Congregation Church, Edwardsville. The Eisteddfod, traditional Welsh talen~ festi val, features all-day competition in music and recita,tion. The final event, the choral competition, is the highlight of the day's a ctivity. Last year the two choruses combined to sing the prize song, "The Heavens Are Telling." Their performance was widely acclaimed by the spectaitors and the adjudicators of the competition awarded the Wilkes group the first prize of $250. The choruses will be conducted in competition by Bill Peters Collegians' director. Janet C~rnell will accompany the group at the piano. This year the song for choruses will be "And The Glory of the Lord," from Handel's Messiah. The choruses entered all sing the same number, then the judges comment on each performance before announcing rthe winners. The prize awarded depends upon the number of groups entered. If one chorus enters, the prize is $150, two choruses boost the value to $200, and three or more, $250. NOTICE 'BEACON' REPORTERS The Assignment Sheet for next week's issue is now posted.

Scoring 60 points to Bucknell's 42, the locals had four men in the running for first place came out with two champions Ma;,, Antinnes at 177 •p ounds' and Dick Stauffer at 130. For each man it was a repeat win, but in different weight classes. Stauffer was the 1959 123-lb. champion, Antinnes was 167-lb. champ. Each moved up one weight this year. Captain Joe Morgan finished second in the 137-pound division losing a good bout to Lycoming's Harry Romig. For his performance, Romig was named the tourney's Outstanding Wrestler for the second straight year. Freshman Brooke Yeager finished second in the 123-pound class, losing a 6-1 Dick Stauffer decision to Hofstra's Don Hannon.

Several students have given the usual reaction - snorts and snide comments, but we feel certain that the students on the whole will cooperate in this drive. We feel this way because we have faith in the sense of fair play Wilkes students have always exhibited. As we see it, the serious and thinking student realizes that the good citizens of this community have been asked to help the development of their community college many times in past years. In almost every instance, these citizens have come through generously and the campaigns have always succeeded. The last one, three years ago, was a resounding success. Without the splendid cooperation of the students, that campaign would have been short of its goal. We remember that campaign and the looks of pleasure on the faces of local citizens when the final report meeting showed that student contribution provided the margin of success. We feel that such help by the students makes a solid impression on the people who have supported this institution for over a quarter of a century. Once more the students are asked to lend a helping hand. No member of the campaign committee expects that hard-pressed students will cough up the whole $270,000. They would be pleased, however, to see that the beneficiaries of their efforts have an interest in their success. We are, in effect, asking these citizens to tour the Valley and ask other citizens to contribute to the College. While these people do this, we can hardy sit back and watch the coins roll in. If we can't show interest in a drive to improve our own facilities, how can we expect others to have any luck soliciting donations? Trite, but true is the old chestnut - it's not the gift that counts in this instance, but the thought behind it. If the entire student body contributed a total of only a few dollars, the local citizenry would be impressed by its effort to pull itself up by its own bootstraps. We feel that a cash contribution, no matter how small, would make a tremendous impression greater even than a higher amount pledged over a long period. We do not suggest that the latter method of helping out be forgoMen, but we do sincerely suggest that every student think carefully and decide which way suits his financial situation. Congratulations, Vol. IV Once more we have the pleasant duty of extending congratulations to coach John Reese and his wrestling team, four-time winners of the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. This is getting to be a habit, and one we would hate to break. We here at Wilkes have more to be proud of than we realize. For instance, we overheard several of the coaches and officials commenting on the sportsmanship and manners of the Wilkesmen. Always polite and soft-spoken, every man made a good appearance, was neat and orderly. Even other wrestlers mentioned the fact that the Colonels were a "bunch of nice guys." This is the highest compliment, since wrestlers as a class are perhaps the best-natured competitors off the field of battle in any sport. For the record, the Colonels went to Lebanon Valley with a string of sixteen straight meets without a loss - there was one tie with Hofstra. Now they have added their fourth straight Conference championship, an unprecedented record. Further, since a highly disputed loss to Bloomsburg in 1955, the team has chalked up 36 wins, two ties, and one defeat. During that time, the other tie, with Millersville, was the only blot on a 23-meet unbeaten skein. The same Millersville team stopped Wilkes on the next-to-last meet of the 1957-58 season. The current 16-meet streak without defeat goes back to the last meet of that season, an easy win over Fairleigh-Dickinson. Spring Weekend, Prom, Parties On Committee Agenda by Wayne Thomas Plans for Spring Weekend, which will be held on May 13, 14, and 15, were the major topic of discussion at ithe School Spirit Committee meeting on Tuesday night. The Cinderella Ball will be held on Friday, May 13, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., in the gymnasium. The dance will be a formal affair. The commiittee voted to conduct two dormitory .parties on Saturday night, May 14. An orchestra will be provided at each dormitory ·for dancing. The particular dormitories to be used have not been decided upon as yet. Jim Stephens, co-chairman of the committee, announced that an atitempt will be made to have the baseball game and tennis match scheduled to be played at Albright on May 14 moved to Wilkes on that date. The group also discussed a possible outing and the use of decorations similar to the Homecoming displays. The proposed plans for decorations will be submiitted to the individual organizations at their next meetings. Each individual organization will thereby have an op,p ortunity to express its views on the decorations proposal. Representation Lacking The view was also expressed that many organizations are not sending representatives to the meetings and that these groups are being deprived of their representation on the committee. It was also emphasized thait due to the coming of Spring Weekend many more participants will be needed if the committee is to make a success of the spring affair. ,P residents of the various campus organizations will be contacted and asked to check on their 1·especitive representatives. The School Spirit Committee is continuing its campaign for Amnicola patrons and iboosters. Anyone wishing to have his name appear in the yearbook as a patron or a booster s~ould contact a member of the commiittee. . . The recent Beacon ed1tonal dealing with school spirit was discussed and the committee as yet has taken no action on it. .1'.he next meeting of the School Spmt Committee will be held on Tuesday, March 22, on the second floor of the Bookstore.

The Faculty Flashes won the laugh-filled · contest, 18-16, in a sudden death overtime period. The Flashes also won the game last year, proving that the faculty athletes know their oats. Jim McCarthy, the game's public address announcer, attributed the win to the fact that the faculty deals with jackasses every day. l................................... Campus Observer ! Friday, March 11, 1960 Two alumni of the college have received national recognition recently, both in the profession of law. Attorney J. Harold Flannery, Jr., the son of Judge Flannery, was one of the three members of ithe Justice Department counsel who pre.pared a brief and helped the Solicitor General present the case of 1,377 Negro voters who had been dropped from the voting rolls in Louisiana's Washington Parish (county). The case was presented to the Supreme Court; on February 29 the Supreme Court ordered that the 1,377 Negroes be restored to Louisiana's voting rolls. The decision by the Supreme Court was unanimous. Previous to coming to Wilkes, Flannery attended Wyoming Seminary and Lafayette College. He transferred here from Lafayette in February of 1953. While he was here, Flannery was a member of the Cue 'n' Curtain, the Manuscript, and the Debating Society. He graduated in 1955 with an A.B. degree in History. Jesse Choper has been chosen by Chief Justice Earl Warren to be his clerk for the coming year. Choper is currently a senior in the University of Pennsylvania Law School. This is not the first time Choper has had national recognition. While a student here he won national acclaims as a debator, ranking third individually in the United States in 1957. That same year he won the Harvard Invitational Debating Tournament. Af:ter .g raduating summa cum laude from Wilkes, with the highest academic average ever achieved by a Wilkes student, Choper received a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Sta,nding secontl in his class, he was elected to the Law Review in 1958 and this year served as its research editor. Prior to his appointment by Chief Justice Warren, Choper had accepted a teaching position at the University of Minnesota Law School, which has now granted him a leave of absence so that he may fulfill his new duties in Washington. Dr. Kruger was heard to say in one of his speech classes that he wouldn't work three minutes for two dollars. Wonder what kind of wages he gets here? Or maybe he doesn't consider teaching work? :i:::1* * ** Have you observed circulation this week?

Whatever "IT!" is will probaThe Observer admits that "IT!" is stirring up A special holiday was observed one week ago today: Wilkes College, for the first time in the memory of many students, was closed for the day because of the large amount of snow. It was a welcome relief from classes. At the announcement Thursday night, many of the dorms had impromptu parties, and numerous snow-men were erected. Yours truly, The Observer Assembly Organization Explained; Commillee Members Listed by Lynne Dente Every Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, the majority of . . · d h f h kl students direct their footsteps towar t e gym or t e wee y assembly program. Yet few of these students know. the background of "assembl(: ?ow it ~ organized, the purposes,. or its powers. The orgaruzation behmd the weekly program IS the Assembly Committee. I The purpose of the Wilkes College Student Assembly Committee is to help the administra.tion prepare the assembly schedule, proctor the planning of assemblies by campus groups, and to select the yearly winner of the "Best Student Assembly Award." The membership of the Committee consists of six to twelve members, and new mem!bers are elected by the current members. The members of the Committee for this school year include Robert Amey, Pat Belardinella, Mike Bianco, Barry Gintel, Betsy Hoeschele, Jocelyn King, Al Kishel, Moncey Miller (Chairman), George Reynolds, Dick Salus, Nancy Tinklepaugh, and Sandy Ungar. The advisor is selected by the Administration, and the chairman of the Committee is selected in the spring for the following school year by the current members. Meetings are called 1by the chairman or the advisor. This year's meetings have been held at Miss Cole's residence on Sunday evenings. The budget is approximately $1,000 per yea.r , and is contributed by the Administration for the use in faculty assemblies. Student assemblies are presented by the campus clubs, which take full responsi•b ility for the program. The clubs fill in application forms which indicate the desired date for the program, the chairman of the program, the president of the organization, the faculty advisor, the type of program, the number of participants, the necessary props, and the expenses involved. Class Meetings Alternating with the assembly programs are the class meetings. Previous to placing class meetings on the Tuesday calendar there was not enough time for class officers to work with the members of the class. In order to promote greater student activity, the class sponsors requested that certain assembly dates be set aside for class meetings, since the assembly time was the most convenient time for the meetings. This program has been in effect only for the past two years. It is hoped that atfter graduation the various classes will continue to show an interest in the college and participate in their class memorial plans. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ...

To illus- The road to victory was not an easy one for the good-looking grappler but in his usual style he overcame the difficult O'bstaeles to help ,b ring ,b ack the MAC championship to Colonelsville. Marv's first match of the tournament was against Ed Callahan of Muhlenberg and the "Colonel Mustang" registered a fall in 4 :39 to begin his conquests. A 57-second pin was the story of Marv's next victory with Gettyslb urg's Irving Lindley's shoulders finding the mat in short order. The semi-final match was the biggest threat to the crown as Joe Martins of PM-C was riding on a 32-meet victory skein and loomed as a co-favorite to win the title. Marv ended his hopes and winning ways by registering a hard-fought 4-0 victory. The championship bout sent our "Blue and Gold" matmen against Barry Gi1bson of West Chester State College. The match was one of the best of the season and, as he has made a habit of it, Marv emer,g ed victorious with a 9-4 victory and the coveted 177-lb. crown. Marv led all matmen in scoring in the ·tournament with 15 ,p oints and emerged as runner-up for the outstanding wrestler award. Winning the MAC championship is nothing new for Marv as last year he wore the 167-lb. MAC crown and his freshman year was runner-up in the tournament. The Wilkes Open Tournament found Marv a runner-up in the 167-lb. class, the furthest a Colonel grappler ever went in the tournament. The mats aren't the only sports ence swimming tournament ait Bucknell University. Although they failed to place at all in any event as a team, the Colonels did manage to wdn the protested meet against Lycoming that had been lost earlier in the season. The best the tankmen could do in the individual competition were Jerry Mohn's and Carl Havira's seventh place showings in their events. Jerry took sevenith in freshman diVling and Carl, although he turned 'in his best times of the season, took seventh in the 200 yard individual medley, 1butterfly, and breaststroke events. Also ait the tournament, the coaches of the teams discussed the Wilkes ,p rotest of the results of the first meet of the season against Lycoming. I.t had been under protest because afiter both teams had been disqualified in the final relay, the event was run again, the Warrtlors won it and submitted the results as their victory. The coaches Marv Antinnes decided in favor of the Colonels giving them a season record of two area where Marv excels. He led wins and three losses. the Colonel gridders in scoring and ball-can-ying for the .p ast two seasons, and each time rated as one of the top ball-carriers in the conference.

I by Thomas Evans The Rowdies squeaked out a 4644 overtime victory against Gore Hall last Tuesday to win the interleague playoff game and emerge as Intramural basket/ball champions for the 1959-60 season. First half ac:tion saw the Rowdies take an early lead with the score 21-14 at the end of the second quarter. Howev•e r, a fourth quarter surge 'by Gore which was paced by Paul Aquilino's steady shooting and the ball-hawking of Lou Davis, brought about a 40-40 deadlock rut the end of regulation time. Fearsome Fred Williams and Ed Gavel shared scoring honors in the overtime period to give the win to the National Leaguers. This pair also took scoring honors for the game with 14 and 13 points.

POMEROY'S by Frances Olack The Collegians, directed by Bill Peters, will present a program of vocal music at t he student assembly next Tuesday. Highlight of the program will be the announcement of the selection of the chorus director for the next two years. The Collegians are an all..male chorus, forty members strong. However, t he forerunner of this group was a quartet begun in 1950. Preceding directors have been: Bill Crowder, Bob Lynch, and Sam Lowe. The chorus has grown gradually, and now enjoys a prominent spot in the community. The Collegians ~erform at high schools, civic groups, church organizations, and college functions. Oftentimes they combine with the Girls' Chorus for programs. The present officers of rthe Collegians are: Dick Myers, president; Dick Wileman, vice-president; Harry Owens, secretary; Bob Eike, librarian - historian; and Morey James, treasurer. Accompanists fo r the group are Walter Umla and Thomas Hrynkiw. It is interesting to note that every curriculum in the college is represented in t h e Collegians' ranks. Impending plans include a tour of upper New York state high schools in April and the making of a long-playing record in early spring. This record will include sacred songs, folk songs, and music from Broadway shows. The program of the assembly will include selections by Mozavt, Shaw, and Thompson. The chorus will also sing medleys from "Showborut" and " Oklahoma" as well as The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Soloists for the program will be Merritt Wheeler, Don Jones, Ray Nutaitis, and David Lear.

Winter's Roughest Attack Ineffective As Beacon Staff Delivers On Time Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor lack of classes . . . nothing can stop the Beacon. That was shown last Friday when the Beacon made its regular appearance, right on schedule, even though there was hardly a soul around to read the paper. Beacon boss Dick Myers and his circulation manager, J erry Chisarick, were seen blithely guiding their snow-chained chariot around the campus, dropping off the newspaper into the dese1ted buildings. Several observers noticed that delivery was about 40 minutes behind the usual 11 :35 completion time, but nobody offered any complaints. The two delivery men blamed that on the weather, but informed sources attri,b uted the delay to Chisarick's avowed desire to remain in bed on a day when there were no classes. Roused out of bed at the unearthly hour of 9 :15 on a day of no school, Chisarick answered Myers' call with a few bear-like grunts before returning to hibernat e until 11. The whole intent behind the distribution wa,s maintaining the Beacon's years-long standing of ,p rompt delivery. Even when the print shop was replacing its outdated, full-size press earlier in the year, the Beacon staff rallied around the small-job press at the printery and put out the famous "comic book" edition - on time. Also, last year a mechanical breakdown caused the editorial staff to work with the printer up until midnight in order to make sure that the Beacon got out on time - the following day. Friday's delivery, despite a heavy snow and deserted campus, kept perfect a record of at least five year's standing, a record of always having the Beacon in the hands of its readers before Noon on Friday. MATMEN GAIN ,coniinued from page 1) in 57 seconds. He had ea.r lier thrown Ed ·Callahan of Muhlenberg in 4:39. The two falls were worth four points and his decision over Joe Martins, P.M.C., in the semifinals was worth one. He scored ten •p oints for the .c hampionship in his class. In defeating Barry Gibson of West Chester for the title, Antinnes was taken down for the first time this season. Gibson pulled the trick in just 36 seconds of the bout, but Antinnes escaped in six seconds. Later, Gibson reversed Antinnes, but the Colonel was free again in 26 seconds and won the bout, 9-4. A Flexible Charge Account - at - The annual exchange program between students of Wilkes and the Hampton Institute, Virginia, will be held this year on April 9. This program is held each year to promote better understanding between students and has always been a memorable experience for those who participate. This year, at Hampton, the program prompted the students of that institution to declare the weekend "Wilkes Week" and they have planned a full schedule of events. Highlight of ithe visit will be attendance at a concert performed by the Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra. Dean Hawkins of Hampton recently spoke here at a student assembly on the occasion of Brotherhood Week. His address was wellreceived by students attending. Any m ember of the Wilkes student body who is interested in participating in this year's exchange is asked to speak to Allyn Jones, Butler Hall. The Wilkes group will be guests of the Hampton men for the entire weekend and will be given a tour of the campus in addition to t ours to points of local interest. Jones emphasized that the weekend visit is open to women as well as to men. Plans are now being formulated for the trip and interested students are requested to indicate their desire to go as soon as possible.
