Approves Club Constitutions, Conference Funds Student Government, at Tuesday's meeting, granted funds to the Biology and Chemistry Clubs in order that those organizations may attend the Eastern Colleges Science Conference at Hunter ·College, New York. The Conference will be held la,te next month. In other action, the gr oup a lso voted on a number of constitutions submitted for approval. Accepted were the constitutions of the Accounting Club, the Class of 1963 , the Amateur Radio Club, and the Coll egians. Cue 'n' Curtain's document was approved fo llowing revisions as requested by Student Government. A report was ,g iven regarding the briefs prepared by the Government which wer-e submitted to the Court of Appeals. The !brief explains Student Governm ent's punitive action against the I.C.G. The Court met yesterday to decide whether the action, revoking half of I.C.G.'s shar e o,f Intercollegiate Conference Funds, was within the ,pow-er of Student Government. Mike Bia,nco, regular chairman of the Court, has disqualified himself because he is also president of !CG and has been replaced on the bench by Allyn Jones . The judges are members of both fac ulty and student body. Student Government, regardless of the Court's findings, will still have final say in the matter, for the Student Constitution provides that the Governm ent may override the Court's decision with a twothird's vote. • • • • • ♦ • • ♦ ♦ • • • • • ♦ • • IT'S COMING! • • • • ♦ ♦ • • • • • • • • • • • • FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1960 Fund Drive Reali~es 91% of Goa·1 Group Represents India At CCUN Conclave by Ralph Price The Middle Atlantic M o d e 1 United Nations General Assembly will be held at the Albany State Teachers College in Albany, N-ew York on A·pril 8-10.

At that time an added $69,287 was pledged, bringing the grand total to $249,306 or 91 per cent of the goal. At Tuesday's meeting, a, pledged contribution of $1500 was given on behalf of the Wilkes student body by Gordon Roberts. An added contribution of $50 was made by the Collegians who entevtained at the meeting. John Mattey and·-.Ste:ve,·, Robertson, co-chairmen for student participation in the drive, urge everyone who is planning to contribute to the development drive to make their pledges to: John Mattey, seniors; ChristOl!)her Loesch, juniors; Al Kishel, sophomores; and Conrad Wagner, freshmen.

Mrs. Farley suffered from a coronary attack last Friday and spent several days under oxygen for relief of her condition. Our latest reports reveal that she is resting comfortably and that her condition is improving. Many students and organizations have sent cards and flowers. Others wishing to do so may address them to Mrs. Farley in care of the General Hospital. The gracious First Lady of t-he College has been a favorite with Wilkes people for over a quarter of a century, with her ready smile and pleasant disposition. She is always prepared, and happy, to have visitors at her home. Students as well as faculty a·n d administration personnel always receive a warm welcome and seldom does one leave the Farley residence without having enjoyed her famous spiced tea. We all join in wishing Mrs. Farley a speedy and complete recovery. Student contributions to the Three-Phase Development Drive are currently in the neighborhood of $2000, a very nice neighborhood to be in. This response came in the short space of less than two weeks and has been sparked by several noteworthy contributions from the students. Reports have reached our editorial desk that the men of Butler Hall have been responsible for something in the vicinity of $600 and they expect that to go up when the proceeds of their "House of Horrors" gimmick are totalled. The Butlerites will share the honors of that donation with the girls from Sterling Hall, co-sponsors of the "IT" affair next Saturday night. The Collegians have also recorded a $50 gift in addition to personal pledges made by some of the individual singers in that group. The outlook for eventual realization of the entire $270,000 seems good, since many distant alumni of the College have been contacted by mail and their cards have not yet been returned. It is estimated that even if only a small percentage of these outstanding cards are returned with minimal pledges, the remaining nine per cent of the goal will be met. A Dangerous Situation The Court of Appeals began reviewing briefs of the Student Government-I.C.G. controversy yesterday. We would strongly urge that all students take careful note of the proceedings and become familiar with the case. The Student Constitution is getting its first real test and the outcome will affect every student as well as each organization. For the "sea lawyers" on campus, we suggest a check of the student Handbook which contains a reprint of the Constitution outlining Student Government's powers and areas in which those powers are in effect, as well as explaining the Court of Appeals and its role. The I.C.G. claims that Student Government has wrongfully deprived it of use of funds to which the club is entitled. The Government counters with I.C.G.'s failure to comply with stated policies concerning procedure for affairs on the social calendar. The funds under consideration are in the Intercollegiate Conference treasury, money under the supervision of Student Government for distribution to duly constituted groups wishing to attend out-of-town events pertinent to the interest of qualifying organizations. This is not to be confused with ,t he Student Activities Fund, distributed to such oragnizations as the Amnicola, Beacon, or others for their year's operation. The I.C.G. receives no money from ,t his source. . Whatever the outcome of this dispute, we see a dangerous situation developing. A weak governing body will be of little use, one too powerful can - under radical hands - destroy all that years of careful planning have developed. Either condition could result from the present controversy. No student will be without an opinion when the case is settled. The logical place ,t o air said opinions is in the "Letters to the Editor" column of this paper. 1ihe time to stand up and be counted is now. Public opinion is the ground from which progress is harvested. Don't let your plot of that ground lie fallow. An International Student Tour to Washington, D.C., and Virginia, April 10-16 is being sponsored by the Committee on Friendly Relations Among Foriegn Students.

" There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Student Donations Help Campaign Student Tour Unveiled Friday, March 18, 1960 I _,,,,"";. by Leona A. Baiera A German film entitled Fidelio will be presented by the modern language department Wednesday afternoon from four to six in Stark 116, and Thursday from 11 to 1. Fidelio, Beethoven's only opera, has been brought ito the screen in a magnificent motion picture which represents the full realization of his theme. The setting of rthe film centers in eighteenth century Spain. The sitar, Claude Nollier, plays with overwhelming intensity the faithful and blessed woman who as Fidelio, also known as Leonore, a noble lady of Seville, bears the torch of freedom to her husband's dungeon. Her husband, Florestan, languishes in an unknown prison as a political prisoner. The film Fidelio is not just a reproduction of a stag-e performance. In its scope of production, its settings, its imaginative and' stirring unity of acting, music, and singing, it is an original and !brilliant cinematogra-p hic formulation springing directly from Beethoven's masterpieces and serving the idea of Fidelio with full and beautiful im,pact. Marcia Davenport, the music critic and biographer, has paid tribute to the opera, Fidelio in these memorable words : "A simple story of indomitable courage and the will to freedom was symbolic to Beethoven of his own long fight to free himself from the intolerable limitations of life. . . . Through this music he wrung from life the freedom of immortality. Therein he frees us all from imprisonment in our mundane selves." ARE POLITICIANS GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD? 1960 is the year of choice. Men must choose the man who will be the th~rty-fourth President of the United States. 1960 is also the year of choice for many people around the world; the choice is totalitarianism or democracy as the leader of the free world. As election time draws near in America, more and more virulenit attacks are being exchanged .by the presidential candidates in an a;ttempt to defame the opposition candidate. Name calling is not the answer; we need a regeneration of loyal spirit inside of the government outside of the government, in -t he loftiest places and in the lowli~t if we are to meet the force of totalitarianism fully prepared. The -p oliticians obviously have failed to apply a vita.J factor in our government. If "hones.t" in the absolute sense of the word was applied by the public office holder, he would find that he is one of those involved in organized dishonesty or self-exploitation by the several at the expense of the nation. Absolute honesty applied to the political field would reveal much. We would see that greed is not confined to any class nor is selfishness a rare character of those who can have a little or much more material things than others. We' would find thait people who blame everybody else for the present situation are really at fault themselves. The politician would go on •t o admit that he covers up the truth by telling the American people only those things which will look politically favorable and that we never permit ·a word of s-e lf-criticism emana,te from our midst lesrt it tarnish our pattern of perfection and self-praise. Instead of frankly admitting mistakes, we will go to extremes in order to pass off errors and imperfections. On the other hand, we might find the opposition leveling criticisms merely rto win an ar,g ument and not because he wants better government and equitable legislation for the people. A minority faction should ·place the interests of ,t he nation before the interest of the party. History has shown that government itself, whether Republican or Democratic, is not free from the desire to ex,p loit exercise of political preference, from handing out jobs for ·political favors, or from handing out favors that are not essential for good government but are very necessary for political reasons. The politician admits that his actions are controlled by his fear of losing power and not by his deepest convictions. Why is it that people do not rebel more strongly against all that politics has done and still does to cripple democracies of our time? The answer to this question is one which all of us are reluctant to admit, an answer which should penetrate to the very heart of Americans everywhere. It is an admission that selfishness has so blinded politicians and the ,people a.Jike that the football of religion has slipped in a world torn with bitterness and passions.

WILIIBS COLLEGE BEACON �WILIF,S COLLEGE Friday, March 18, 1960 Lockerroom Chatter BEACON 3 Wilkes Matmen Seeking Another Title by RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor Although John Reese's matmen came up with their fourth consecuti,ve Middle Atlantic Conference championshi,p two weeks ago at Lebanon Valley, the price of victory seems ito have been a paradox with the choosing of an outstanding wrestler for the tournament. Dick Stauffer at 130 pounds and Marv Antinnes at 177 pounds, who were both undefeated during regular season matches, quickly showed the fans and the coaches present how the y had built up their records . . The two men emer,g ed as champions in their classes at the end of the two day event as a resu1t of sensational ·p erformances against top performers. With Stauffer handling what many felt was the toughest weight class and Antinnes scoring the highest point total in the tourney, the two ·Colonel wrestlers established themselves as leading contenders for the coveted award at the conclusion of the itwo days of "grunt and groan" antics. However, the parodx unfolds to its full est extent at this point, for wiith two tremendous performances by both Wilkesmen, they split the vote of the judges who picked the Outstanding Wrestler. It was ironical that both Stauffer and Antinnes drew 5 votes apiece out of the total votes cast and that Lycoming's Harry Romig emerged as the Outstanding Wrestler with a total of six. It can 'be seen here that the two Colonel grap,plers outscored the one Lycoming candidate, however, only one man wins, and that was the price that Wilkes and her two champions paid because they were so good in the Tourney. MORGAN ADDS COLOR 'Dhe entire story concerning the outstanding wrestler award cannot be left at that without mentioning the tremendous performance staged by Wilkes' captain, Joe Morgan, as he met Romig in the finals of the 137-pound class. It was the consensus of many fans and reporters · pres·e nt at the tournament that it was the drive, determination, and all-around hustle shown by Morgan in the bout that presented the Lycoming wrestler with the opportunity to put forth his besit effort. The final score of the match was 6-1 but it does not describe the action that took '])lace on the mat during the nine minutes of wrestling. Morgan was all over the mat trying every trick he had learned in four years of varsity wrestling and his effoits made for the most exciting bout of the evening. Another point not made known concerning the bout was that Morgan had his man in plenty of trobule as he flung him around for a takedown and then gave up two points and a possible three as Romig showed signs of being hurt and Morgan released his hold and lost the points. So this is a belated salute to the departing ca.ptain of the matmen not only for his competitive s,p irit shown in the recent tournament but also for his contribution to the Wilkes sports scene for the past four years. Af ~ AA Statistic! The other day our vice president in charge of good news announced that someone, somewhere, enjoys Coke 68 million times a day.

Softball Season Ready to Start, Rosters Sought Gulterdusters, Smashers Sweep To Take First, Second Places by John Nork John Reese, Director of Athletics, has announced that iplans are now in progress for the coming intramural softball season. The league is expected to get underway as soon a,s the weather breaks, possibly immediately following Easter vacation. Mr. Reese has issued a call for team ca,pttains who will enter a squad in the competition to start getting their rosters together and turned in -to his office on rthe second floor of Chase Hall. They may be left at the gym, if desired. Teams are limited to 15 players and a player will be limited to playing for one team only. A student director is needed to manage the affairs of the league. Compensa,tion will be allowed for the ,w ork '])Ut in by the director. Umpires will also be needed to officiate the contests and they too will be paid for their services. Anyone interesited in assuming the duties as the student director or in umpiring for the games is asked to contact Mr. Reese as soon as ,p ossible.

He started with nothing but ambition and worked himself up to the very top. He is now the king, the greatest of t he living j azzm en, and it looks Hke he's going to remain king for a long time. A critic of jazz told reporters not long ago that Louie was not only important to modern ja:zz, he is the mother and fat her of jazz.

Marv Antinnes became the first Wilkes wrestler ever to gain national honors last week when he was crowned champion of the 177pound class in the third annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament. Four other Colonels carried the Blue and Gold colors into the NAIA event at Lock Haven State College and emerged from the coII11petition with a fourth place t eam finish. Bloomsburg State won the team championship, edging out defending champion Southern Illinois University. Host Lock Haven, Wilkes, and Lycoming completed the top clubs to give a " neighborhood look" to the top sta.ndings. Athlete of the Week For his winning performance, Antinnes- gains another award as Beacon Athlete of the Week. This is the fifth time he has earned the votes of the sports staff this year as he has clearly demonstrated his athletic superiority. Two other Wilkesmen shared in the fourth place finish as Bob Herman, 191 !Pounds, took third, and Brooke Yeager, 115 pounds, took fourth. Both m en were competing in classes outside their normal divisions. Championship Battle Antinnes continued to rule the roost in his weight division, winning the championship with a hardfought, 4-2 victory over strong Ken Houston of S. Illinois U. He set the stage for the title when he trimmed Bloomsiburg's Stan Elinsky, 9-1, after an initial win over Jim Domin of Baldwin-Wallace. The Illinois grappler registered a taikedown in the latiter part of the first period to take a 2-0 lead. The second period went scoreless with Antinnes gaining a full period of riding time as he thwarted all of Houston's eca,pe efforts. The third period went very slowly as Houston was content with trying to "breeze" into the championship circle, until the referee gave Antinnes a ,point for the stalling tactics of the Illinois grappler. With 50 seconds left in the match, Antinnes escaped to tie the score, 2-2, then took the strong gra•ppler down to register a 4-2 lead. Antinnes kept t he hold for the fad ing seconds of the match to win t he ·b out and the small college National cha,mpionship, thus ,p utting the finishing touches to a perfect season. His record was unblemished in dual meets, he won the Mid-Atlantic 177-pound crown, and was runnerup in the WHkes Open Tournament.

Allyn Jones, chairman of this year's visit to the Virginia Negro Institute, will gladly accept your reservation for this rewarding trip. l:;ach year the students of the two institutions exchange visits to help break down barriers of senseless racial prejudice. Those participating in years past have always given glowing reports of the enjoyable experience and have named it as one of the outstanding memories of college days. Dean Hawkins of Hampton was here recently during Brotherhood Week to address the Wilkes students at assembly. He and Dean George Ralston are friends of long standing and take particular care to see that each visit will be well planned and organized when his college is the host. This year Hampton will host Wilkes. The time for the trip is fast approaching - April 9 - and the Hampton students have gone to great lengths to insure a memorable weekend. Highlight of the "Wilkes Weekend" festivities will be the concert presented by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Image America We don't intend this to be a free ad for the National Broadcasting Company, but we think that their coming "Image America" series will provide interesting and valuable listening for all Americans, coliege students especially. Beginning Monday, hnage America will present sixteen 90minute radio broadcasts designed to improve public understanding of the workings of American society. The Fund for Adult Education is presenting the series in cooperation with NBC and following its completion, the series will be released to noncommercial educational stations. The Fund also plan-s to make available records based on the series together with related reading materials, to encourage maximum educational use of individual programs by study-discussion groups. Enlisting the best minds of the nation to present its series, the Fund will attempt to reveal the true character of the nation, its people and institutions through a clear and honest appraisal of \heir strength and weaknesses and their probable future. The local outlet for the series is WBRt:-radio. Broadcasts will take place from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Bob Considine, noted national columnist, sportswriter, and announcer, will narra-te the programs. Format of the series is based on two previous "Image· ' series, hnage Russia and hnage Minorities. Participants in the project are numerous and the lis,t reads like a Who's Who of any subject you can imagine. Their interests are varied: politics, labor, governmnet, literature, music, art, dance, industry, business, education, law, sociology, religion and many other areas. An infinitesimal sampling of the people show such as: Moss Hart, playwright; Paul M. Butler, Democratic National Committee Chairman and his Republican counterpart, the Hon. Thurston B. Morton; Norman M. Thomas, American Socialist; Robert A. Kennedy, McClellan Committee counsel; Ashley Montagu, anthropologist who addressed a Wilkes assembly two years ago; Vincent Price, actor; Dave Beck, ex-president of the Teamsters Union; Raymond Aron, Professor of Sociology a t the Sorbonne, Paris; and many, many others. For you convenience, we have listed below the dates of the programs in the series. Whether or not this program turns out to be blatantly propagandist in nature or paints an accurate and objective picture of America and its shortcomings as well as its good points is immaterial. As college students we should take every opportunity to increase our knowledge of our environs. Whether the programs live up to their promise or not, they should help us form opinions. Students the world over have always held firm opinions and ihave even broken out in riot to support them. We don't see many examples of such firmness of opinion - right or wrong on the American scene and almost none at all on the Wilkes campus. We do not ad v o c a t e riots and demonstrations, of course, but we do believe that it is the duty of every citizen, especially student citizens, to be fully informed. This series appears to promise a fine starting point. Lillle Thealer Presenls Comedy "Great Sebastians" Features Frances Clack.

In this issue it might be wise to consider the important rol e of non-political individuals like the businessmen, who hold economic 'Positions of ,p ower similar to those in the political r ealm; and t he stud ent, who hold an academic trust of great significance. Prying into the conscience of the business world would reveal many busin essm en who would not give in one iota to the point of view of social responsibility and that these same men believe in t he highest return without conceding that anyone else is entitled to more than a fraction; even if laboring people are the prime part of the mechanism that produces w ealth for us all. Businessmen would adm it, in light of the Southern "lunch counter" strikes, that th ey are so timid aibout striking out against the abuse of th e .polit icians, so r eluctant to sacrifice what we have fought for, that they have mutely acknowledg ed legislation and demonstrations so a s to violate the Constitution in law and in spirit. Moreover, the closing of business establishments to N egroes in the South is a direct assault on the idea that all men, regardless of color, are created equal and the right to peacefully demon st rate. Obviously t he idea of Character and not Color has been subverted in the interest of materialism and bi,g otry. Possibly these businessmen dislike the loss of any material wealth because they beli eve that time and money cu.res all, and because they know others will do th e fighting for them . They hesitate to fight injustice for fe ar of losing their fortunes and their political friend, engaged in the Civil Rights filibuster. How can America represent a democracy of free enter-p rise at the coming Summit Conference or at any other meeting of East and West? P erhaps one of the biggest disap,pointments would :be revealed in purging the mind of the average student to find his views on the bus-,iness and ,political situation in America. 1 Maybe w e would find that as students we should take enough time and effort to h ear both sides of a controversial question, but fail to do so because we are satisfied by the men with the mellowest voices and the most lucrative 1>romises. We want opinions that soothe u s and we dislike people who just might stimulate our thinking. We prefer indecision to decision, b ut scorn those who tell us so. Most of us are so emlbroiled with daily tasks and the pursuit of the B.$. that we overlook current events in the world in general, and politics and business in particular. In our haste have we failed to note that Negroes in America have been deprived of their rights; that an American bishop has been imprisoned for life in Red China; that Communist r evolts have shaken the Caribbean to our south ; and that Indonesia, center of Southeast Asia, has excluded all anti-Communists from the government? All this within the last month and scarcely a word on these events uttered in student conversations! Is such an atmosphere, neiither businessman, politician or student can make unselfishness a national aspiration. Human understanding has been stunted in the race for material things and the uplifting of individual freedoms halted !because the influence of r eligion itself has a.bated in this world torn by ,bitterness and greed and hatred. There is an a n swer to all the things that ,p lague our world today. The key to the answer may be found in "that Code of Codes handed down to us in the New Deal of over two thousand year ago."

Any combination of Gutterduster wins and Pinbuster losses adding up to five will clinoh the pennant for the Gutterdusters, who now boast a four-game lead. The third~place Blitzkriegs must ,c ount on the Pinbusters to beat the Gmterdusters to keep theh- hopes alive. Their "magic number" is four. Sould the Gutterdusters win three points from the Pinbusters, the latter will be eliminated Sunday and the Blitzkriegs would have to win four to stay alive. Then they would have to beat the Gutterdusters on the final night of play, 4-0, to win. Trophy Seekers Dan Lewis a,ppears to have the hi,g h average trophy wrapped up with a 187 average over a 54-g ame span. Dave Sokira is next in line with a 181 average in 51 games and Emil P etrasek is coming on fa.st with 179 for 54 games. Dick Myers is fourth with 171 for 54 and Bill Watkins rounds out the top five with 170 for 52 games. Three men share the high single game honors at present. Dave Sokira has hit the 245 mark twice, while Lewis and Petrasek have each made it once. Only two more weeks remain for the deadlock to be broken. The high series trophy may go at 629, rolled .by P etrasek. If he takes it, this will be the lowest three-game series trophy in three years. Dan Lewis has won that hardware four times in the past. Lois Myers holds the lead in the race for the girls' high average with 130 for 53 games. Trophies will also ,b e given to each member of the first and second place teams. A playoff at the end of the regular season will be held between the first and second half winners to d e t e r m i n e these trophies. The Pinbusters were first half champions. Should they repeat, a playoff for second place will be necessary between the Gutterdusters and whoever finishes run- ************************ neru,p in the second half.

After the Dance Business Is Good Wilkes College BOOKSTORE by John Nork A sure sign of spring, as any spo11;sman can tell you is the crack of the bat, and the familiar cry of the umpire's "Play Ball!" However, spring is her.e to everyone except the candidat es for the 1960 'baseball team. For the past two ,w eeks the practice sessions have been held in the gym as Coach Pinkowski ho·p es for the day when his boys can take to the fi eld, pull the bats from hibernation, dust off the ,ba.Jls and get the practice sessions officially underway. With just on e week left before the season starts, Pinkowski would welcome a break in the weather so he can g ive his charges a taste of the .ball agains,t the bat and the "smack of the pill in the old pad." Seven lettermen headline Coach Pinkowski's list of vet erans with only three men ,p laying for the last time. John Mattey, reserve catcher from la~.t yea r, hopes to t a,ke over the first team chores this season. Mattey is being given stiff competition by P et e Lesiuk, a promising new contender. Another senior member of the squad is hard-hitting centerfielder Ralph Hendershot of Larksville. Hendershot has been a leading member of the Colonel t eam for the ·p ast three years, and was voted the team's most valuable player for ,play in his sophomore year. The second base-shortstop duo of Dick Harvey and Jerry Lawrence is returning to, the squad, claiming to lbe in better form than last sea.son. Vet eran Bobby Ontko will be back "to hold down the hot corner for another year. Outfi.elder Paul Aquilino and •p itcher Gene Matthews round out the list of r eturnees, along with pitcher George Gacha the only other senior member of the squad. Gacha will likely handle most of the pitchi ng chores a s he is the chucker with the greatest amount of experience. Matthews is ex;pect ed to see !Plenty of action in a supporting role. At the ,p resent time the pitching staff is in need of more help due to the tight schedule the team will encounter as the season progresses. An adequate mound corps can be the determining factor in the final overall r.ecord for the season's play. Coach Pinkowski is also concerned about his outfield strength as Aquilino and Hendershot may be moved into other positions where their services would lbe needed. First base is vacant and Piillkowski is toying with the idea of moving Aquilino to the initial sack. The Colonels open the season at home next week as they meet defending Middle Atlantic champions Moravian in Artillery Park. So. River St. ".........

As a result of the continued cold, however, Farrar will pin his hopes on his six returning lettermen for the Hofstra meet.

Don Murray will ,preside over all ·plenary sessions of the Assembly. Head of the college delegation is Evelyn Godleski . As the representative of India, Wilkes must defend the point of view that Kashmir is an integral pa1t of the Union of India. India maintains that Pakistan must vindicate the ag,g ression committed in Kashmir before a solution to the dispute can be attained. Since the major portion of the work of the Assembly will be done in committee meetings, India's problem will be brought before the Special Political Committee considering the Kashmir siituation. Representing Wilkes on the various committees will be the following students: Political Committee considering the question of disarmament, George Watson; Special Poli,t ical Committee considering the Kashmi r situation, Al Luster; Economic CO'Illimit,tee considering the problems centering around the U .N. Technical Assistance Program, Vince Capo; Social and Humanitarian Committee considering the problem of world refugees, Owen Frances; Trusteeship CO'Illmi,t tee considering the independence of non-self-governing territories, Gary De Hope; Legal Commrt tee ,c onsidering increasing the membership of the Security Council and strengthening the International Court of Justice, Bianca Moscatta.

Mailey, chairman of ,t he Political Science Department, will be guest speaker at the meeting of the Education Club on Thursday morning at eleven in Conyngham Annex 101. Dr. Mailey will speak on Politics and Education in Wyoming Valley. This is a topic which has attracted a considerable amount of attention in this region in recent years and is of special interest to prospective teachers. Dr. Mailey will call upon many years of experience in the field of politics as well as in the field of education. He is a graduate of West Chester State Teachers College and Pennsylvania State University. The meeting will be open to the public and anyone iterested is cordially invited to attend. "BEACON" NOTICE Because of the Easter holidays, the BEACON will not publish on April 15th or 22nd. All organizations are reminded to plan any publicity campaigns with this in mind in order to assure that planned affairs get proper coverage in next week's BEACON. I.C.G. Appeal Upheld Unanimously; Tuesday's Meeting of Government Okays Funds for Harrisburg Trip The decision of the Court of Review in the case of the Intercollegiate Council on Government reversed action of Student Government in denying that organization use of money in the Intercollegiate Conference fund. The unanimous decision of the Court admitted ~hat the I.C.G. erred in failing to comply with established policy for the conduct of social affairs, but that Student Government acted out of its sphere in denying I.C.G. funds. Debaters Go to CCNY • • dia After MJSenCOr TOUrney SUCCeSS Ading in harmony with the decision of the Court, Student Governm ent on Tuesday received a delegation from I.C.G. a,t iits regular meeting. The delegation requested, and was granted, money to send eight members to the State convention in Harris.burg. The amount awarded was $80. Other Business In other aotion, the Government discussed the "Cinderella Ball" which will rbe held during Spring Weekend, April 13-15. Cost of the affair is $2.00 iper couple. A bill will be paid for the damages incurred during the Winter Carnival at P.M.I. An announcement was also made that student activities calendars are available at t he Student Govern.ment office, Harding Hall, and with Dean Ralston's secretary. Organizations should check these schedules before ,p lanning any event. At the meeting, activities forms were submi<tted and accepted by the Student Government. The affairs which will ibe scheduled on the activities calendar are: a free dance sponsored ,b y the band on Friday, April 1; the Senior class Friday night sport dance on A,pril 8; Cue 'n' Curtain's "Night of Theater" at Chase 'T hea,ter, April 5, 6, and 7; rthe Lettermen's Clwb initiation, an off-'C ampus affair, on April 2; a Manuscript film, which will be shown immediately before the Senior Class dance; and a TDR punch ,p arty during Spring Weekend.

At that time all previous aibsences at meetings will ibe discussed, and members will volte upon the inflicting of penalties for failure ,t o attend past meetings. rl by John Nork This weekend, the Wilkes Debating Society ,t ravels to New York to participate in a varsity tournament at OCNY after a rather successful weekend at the Misericordia Novice Tourna,ment. A last-minute emergency making it impossi,b le to obtain a fourth member, forced the debaters to enter a three-'ll'lan team in the event. Despite the obvious handicap, Jerry Krasa, upholding the afffrmative side of the question, "Resolved: Tha,t Congress should be given the power to overrule decisions of the Supreme Court," performed a surprising feat. Filling both positions of a usual two-num rteam, Jerome handed King's College team A, the team which compiled the best record of the tournament, its sole loss. Later in the day, he dropped close decisions to Temiple and Marywood. The negative team, comprised of Brent O'Connell and Frank Riofski, compiled the highest point total of the participating teams. They defeated Penn State Women's team and Lehigh, while dropping a decision to CCNY. The handicaipped debaters re-1 turned satisfied, gaining the second highest overall team •point total. In addition Frank Riofski was honored by being named the fourth lbes,t negative speaoker in the event. ATTENTION JUNE GRADS!

Now that the reasons for this advertising are past, it might be well to consider the question from a viewpoint of taste. Are these outward displays all that we can offer to the citizens of the Valley as evidence of our purpose in attending college? We on campus know why these signs were made and even appreciate the work involved in composing and displaying them, but we would also do well to consider the effect of such display before future repetition. Local people know little of the inner workings of a college. They judge generally by what they see on the surface. When Homecoming time comes around, they look forward to the interesting campus-wide decorations as a welcome break in the monotony of sober building fronts. Homecoming decorations are part and parcel of every college's Fall social calendar, but there is always a danger that too frequent a display, especially one not up to par with elaborate Homecoming displays, can be excessive - even in poor taste. We feel that the recent brown paper artwork and window decorations did serve some purpose, but that they were unnecessary and overdone. Sufficient outlets for publicity are available on campus; disfiguration of buildings is an excess. Besides, the affairs thus advertised were strictly sponsored by the donns themselves. Other affairs on campus do not get such coverage - and definitely should not. Let's see to it that the ivy-covered walls henceforth remain just that. Nature's decorations are far better and more enjoyable to the public eye. Let's not destroy the traditional college symbol for the sake of affairs which are already adequately advertised and usually well attended. Breaks with tradition are laudable in some cases, but not at the expense of creating an eyesore. by Ralph Price The Wilkes Band will present its annual assembly program next Tuesday. Under the direction of Mr. Weed, the band will perform an unusually difficult program. The selections which the band will play would not even be aittempted by many ·bands from schools larger than Wilkes. Among the pieces to be played are Celebration Overture and Suite of American Dances. The latter was composed by Robert Russel Bennett, whose accomplishments include the orchestration of South Pacific, among others. Another fine work on Tuesday's program is Procession of the Nobles by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Also on the list for the concert is Fanfare and Allegro. Clifton Williams, the composer of this work, has won the Oswald Competition A ward for 1956, 1957, and 1958. Mr. Williams went to school with the Wilkes director, Mr. Weed. In the future, the Wilkes Band plans a Town and Gown Series concert on April 1, in the Wilkes gym. This will be a Sunday afternoon concert. Student Govt. Caught Off Guard Mr. James Bohning, member of the College chemistry faculty, will ,p resent a pa:per to the American Chemical Society next month. The •p aper, entiitled Kinetics of the Oxidation of 3-Mercaptoproponic Acid with Potassium Ferricyanide, is the result of two years research at New York University. While at NYU, Mr. Bohning was aided in his research by Karl Weiss, assistant professor of chemistry at NYU, who is co-alllthor of the ,pa,per. The report has also been accepted for publication by the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The national meeting of the Society will be held on A pril 14 in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Bohning received his B.S. degree from Valparaiso University, Indiana, and his M.S. from NYU, where he also worked part-time as teacher and research assistant. Following his g r a d u a t i o n, he worked for the U. S. Department of ,Oceanography in New York. We were delighted to read the decision of the Court of Review in the Student Government-1.C.G. controversy. A wellwritten document, it succinctly reaches the core of the matter and manages to point up a weakness in the Constitution. The Government, says the Court, was not fully acquainted with its powers and duties in regard to the policies under fire and that a loophole for organizations does exist. In effect, the I.C.G. was able to avoid compliance with established policy and escape with only a slap on the wrist. The Government emerges from this case no weaker than before, but unquestionably wiser. The fault was not Student Government's in failing to penalize effectively; the fault was in the policy governing the situation. It is regrettable that Student Government, probably one of the most reasonable and moderate in the memory of any-student here, had to be put in the position of acting from a position of weakness - of having to punish when no punishment was possible. This only proves one thing, however. Student Government must give searching study to its policies and its powers under the Constitution. We feel that its action against the violator was taken from a point of view narrowed by too frequent compliances. The Government was lulled into a false sense of security by the smooth-running of accurately observed policies and failed to anticipate carefully enough any possible violations. When the violation occurred, Student Government acted too late and from inside its narrowed perspective. This reminds one of the old adage that when things go too smoothly, look for trouble. Invitation to Learning Friday, April I, 1960 Bohning to Read Paper At National Meeting 1 There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Communist aid to Cuba, Indonesia, and Egy;pt has caused concern in Western government circles. The main reason for this concern stems from the fact that these countries were relatively neutral in world affairs prior to the deals with the Reds. By and large these countries leaned neither to the West nor to the East. After the Communist economic ,pa-cits were signed, significant leaning toward the Communist Party line was evident. Cuba is the most obviously infiltrated government whereas Egypt is the least disturbed on the surface. Economic aid or subversion, as the case may be, is the main ideological strategy of the Communist today. When aid will allow Communist influence to permeate a country, then aid will be used as a strategic inroad in the government. When economic subversion is advantag.e ous the Communist will use it to advance his ideology. Last summer Tom Keeps, ex-British Communist union leader, told the authors about his role as a member of the party in the union. Between the years 1947-52, the Communist dock workers, led by Keeps, staged a series of strikes to cripple the London docks and the British economy. Keeps was awarded the Lenin Medal by the Party for his work, particularly the 1947 strike which cost the British economy considera:ble money. The Red strategy here was to nullify Marshall Plan aid. Fortunately the Communist strategy was broken later when Keeps, who had been a loyal Communist for 25 years, broke with the Party because of his commitment to Moral Re-Armament. A similar plan for South America evolved from the Communist Party of South America. The plot was to control the docks of Brazil through dock unions headed by Red agents. Before the plan gained impetus, leaders of the dockworkers were given ideological clarity by men like Tom Keeps, who had given his life to fighting domination by Communists and capitalism alike and was effective in his meetings with the Brazilian dockers. The Russian government cornered ten per cent of the total trade with a Scandinavian country last year and then demaded a seat on that government's cabinet for a Red agent. The Scandinavian country refused to do this and the Russians cut off all trade. As a r esult, the small country was in financial difficulty. By using trade the Communists tried to infiltrate this government. Great Britain aided the strategy by making trade agreements with the Russians instead of the Scandinavian country. In s,pite of the problem of a fellow NATO member, England signed trade agreements because they received a lower price by a few cents! Communist strategy is to subvert the economy of the Western countries and to gain ideological advances with the neutral countries. Cuba, Indonesia and E gypt have all received aid from Russia during the ,past year; all of these countries have taken steps closer to the ed line. Cuba is collectivizing, Indonesia excluded all anti-Communists from the cabinet and Egypt has allowed a number of Russian "technidans" to enter the country - all this af.ter economic aid from Russia. You do not have to accept our idea that the Communist strategy is to subvert the countries of the West with a.n ideology based on economic principles. Heed he words of Nicolai Lenin: "When the capitalist countries of the West begin trading and accepting aid from the Communist bloc, they will sign their death warrant."

These same two teams will meet in a playoff series on April 10. to decide the championship of the league. The Smashers went into a second place tie with the Blitzikriegs by defeating the last place Fla.tballs, 3-1. In the other contest, the Blitzkriegs shared four points with their opponents, the Kingpins. Dan Lewis 204-594 and Bernie Shupp were the ,big footors in the Gutterdusters sweep of the Pinbusters. The total ·pin fall of the winning Gutterdusters was 222 pins better than that of the Pinbus,ters. Dave Sokira and Emil P etrasek were the leading men of the Pinbusiters with a 199-53 and 170-475, respectively. Marshall Brooks rolled a 180-497 to help his Smashers cop three points from the Flatballs, John Sapiego helped with a 169-495. Tom " Dewey" Evans and John Mattey were top men for the losing Fla,tballs. Evans had a 180-465 while Mattey hit for a 170-458. Adam Gajewski rolled a tremendous 212-556 but his effo1ts proved to no avail as his Kingpins shared two points with the Blitzkriegs. Tom Dyslewski came in a close second with a 195-512.

Washburn Meeting of Minds students to its open meeting on Tuesday, April 19. The meeting will be held on the third floor of 159 S. Franklin Street from 6-8 p.m. Publicity directors and organizational leaders are cordially invited to attend and air their views on how we on the newspaper can serve the College better. The staff members are requested to be prompt so that several matters of interest to them can be settled quickly and more general matters taken up. The meeting will be of particular importance to all who intend to apply for editorial positions on next year's staff. Congratulations We were pleased to see the honors heaped on junior Marv Antinnes in recognition of his splendid year of accomplishment in athletics. We were further delighted to see the editorial page of the Wilkes-Barre Record devote a half column editorial to his exploits. The article appeared in Wednesday's edition and recounted all his honors, so well known by all here at Wilkes. We wish to extend our own congratulations and a hearty, "well done," to the year's outstanding athlete, sportsman, and student leader. Dear Sir: The last edition of the Beacon referred to the Court of Review decision in the headline and story which followed. I would qualify this misnomer by saying that the Court of Appeals made the decision referred to in this instance. The Court of Review had no say in this case since it is confined to ruling on dormitory violations. The ·C ourt of Appeals wrote the decision for the case involving the Intercollegiate Conference on Government and .the Student Government because it ha.s the power to act upon appeal of any decision of the Student Government. In closing I extend my gratitude to William Raub, who assumed the chair of the Court in my absence; Allyn temporary member, and theJones, remaining members of the Court of Appeals for their endeavor in this initial case. Yours sincerely, Michael Bianco Chairman, Court of Appeals (Ed. Note: Ooops!

WHAT ••• WHERE ••• WHEN ••• I --PERSONALS-- WILKES COLLEGE BEACON The editorial "Excessive Decoration" appeared on April 1, and it was very a-p propriate to "April Fools' Day." It certainly was your day Ed.; I hope you enjoyed it as you lurked about our fair city. The Wilkes campus lacks many things in the way of school spirit, so let's not kill the little we have. Several weeks ago, the wrestling and basketball doubl e-headers were fine examples of the spirit that should prevail, but is seldom shown. If the banners on the dorms were an eye-sore to anyone but you, it has not been heard at present. To most of us, the banners gave River 1Street a "campus" look and were a sight for sore eyes. Ron Simms (Ed. Note: Reader Simms has a good point; we · would have been happier had he kept it under his hat.) ***** Dea.r Editor: The editorial in the Beacon April 1, 1960, has created considerable conversation throughout the past week. This, I presume, was one of its purposes and in that resp ect it might be considered a successful editorial. I do, however, disagree with many of the statem ents and opinions presented in the editorial, and I am making these disagreements the subject of this letter. Throughout the editorial, the advertising placed on the front of the dormitories during the previous week was referred to as displays. I would like to point out that the purpose of these advertisements was not to provide displays, but was simply to promote two events sponsored by the dormi.tories that weekend. As advertisements I believe they performed their purpose and were not in the least "overdone." The editorial also stated that college "affairs are already adequately advertised and usually well at- t ended." As• for attendance, I think it wise that the editor check some of the Friday night activities sponsored by the college organizations during the past semester. I think he would find that most of these activities were not "well attended." This, I believe, is due largely to the publicity given to these activities. The advertising placed on the dormitories was a new idea in promotion for the CaJlllpus, and created considerable interest in both of the affairs that were adv ertis ed. Also, I would like to interj ect that both of these affairs were successful, and were very well attended. The editorial also elaborated upon our annual Homecoming displays, and suggested that such adve rtisements during the Spring semester might detract from ,th e in terest given to these displays in the Fall. Being chairman of the Homecoming diplays for the past two years, I feel well qualified to discuss the subject. These advertisem ents were not intended to resemble or compete with the Homecoming displays, and it is my opinion they will not detract from our Homecoming festivities in any way. Last, there was considerable discussion at to the impression such advertisements give the residents of this area. I fully appreciate the editor's interest in maintaining the goodwill of the people of Wyoming Valley, but I hardly think these people expect such a noteworthy institution as Wilkes College to cater to them in every activity the students of the college sponsor. Nearly every John Q. Public has an elementary knowledge of the activities of college students, and I certainly believe ,t hat an activity as harmless and innocent as these advertisements are included in such a knowledge. Sincerely, Allyn Jones (Ed. Note: May we quote "Arnold," Beacon No. 21, March 18, "But is it art?") _ --------------------=-----------• .. There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Eighty-six million copies of the MRA handbook Ideology and Coexistence in 24 languages have been distributed throughout the world to date. The Honorable Ben F. Jensen, Congressman from Iowa, referred to this handbook while addressing the members of the House of Representatives on March 14. Congressman Jensen stated: "In the years since World War ideological softening up of the free II, Adenauer has stood out as a world.' dauntless fighter for freedom and an architect of the unity of the West. Better than most he understands the nature of the ideological struggle we are in right now. For he and his country are on the very front line of that struggle. He and his family were among a group of 150 picked leaders of Western Germany, who, at the end of the war, came to the Moral ReArmament Assembly at Caux, Switzerland. There began the close friendship of the Chancellor with Dr. Frank Buchman, the initiator of Moral Re-Armam ent, an association which h as grown and deepened over the years, and which has had a profound effect on the history of Western, Europe. It is by a most happy combination of events that at this time a new weapon in this ideological struggle is being ·p ut into our hands. It is this handboO'k, Ideology and Co-Existence, prepared by Moral Re-Armament. It has been published as a. weapon to put America and the free world on the offensive in this war of ideologies. It sets forth in pungent sentences the true nature of communism and presents the one effective universal answer. The strength of the statements in this handbook and the ideology which it represents is proved by the violence of the attacks which Tass, the Soviet News Agency; Pravda, Izvestia, Trod, Life and Literature, and the Moscow, Tashkent, and Peiping radios have launched against it, noting that this handbook 'is putting an end to the To my knowledge this handbook is receiving one of the most ma.ssive simultaneous distributions in the history of the world. A copy _ has gone to every home in the Sandinavian countries, including Greenland and Iceland, to every home in Holland, and in Switzerland where it was given a foreword by General Guisan, the famous commander-in-chief of the Swiss armies in World War II. Last week it went to every one of the 4½ million homes in Canada. At this very moment it is being distributed to every family in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia, and before the end of this month it will reach every home in this nation's capitol. It is fitting that at this time of _ Chancellor Adenauer's stay in this country means such as these are available to strengthen the fundamental beliefs and qualities of the American people and restore to new life and power the precious heritage of our forefathers and the great destiny of our land.'' Eleven of Congressman Jensen's col!eagues from the Democratic and Republican Parties concurred with his feeling when they called Dr. Adenauer and asked to have the Moral Re-Armament play, Hollnung, in Washington this Spring. The 'bi-partisan signatories are: Senator Everett Dirksen, Minority Leader, and the Senators Francis Case, John Sherman Cooper, Hubert Humphrey, Estes Kefauver, Oren Long, Russell Long, Eugene McCarthy, John McClellan, George Smathers, and Alexander Wiley. �WILICES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 8, 1960 3 Marv Antinnes Named Top Athlete Colonels Host Upsala, Twinbill Tomorrow; Gacha Wins Opener, 9-4 by Tom Evans The baseball team makes another try at their home opener as they meet the Upsala Vikings at Artillery Park. Game time is 31:30 p.m. Wilkes will be out to avenge last year's 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Vi·kings. The starting assignment for the Blue and Gold will go to veteran pitcher George Gacha. For George the game will be important in that he was the losing pitcher in last year's tight contest. .Saturday the diamond team will take on a strong Western Maryland outfit in a double-header. First game gets underway at 11 :00 a.m. Gene Matthews, one of Coach Pinkowski's returning pitchers, will handle the opener. The Colonels hope to get plenty of long-ball power from centerfielder Ralph Hendershot and thirdsacker Bobby Ontko to back up their pitching. Monday Wilkes will taike on the Scranton Royals at Schautz Field in 1Scranton. The colonels will be out to try and trim a Scranton team ,t hat trounced them twice last year. 1S cranton has their ace pitcher, Bob Meckwood, to lea<l a veteran team. Wilkes will counter with Gene Matthews who is expected to come back with two days rest. Wednesday's Results Veteran pitcher George Gacha threw seven-hit ball at Muhlenberg College as Wilkes won its opening game of the 1960 season, 9-4. The game was played in 30 degree wea,ther. Gacha, who struck out eight and walked two, was backed up by the fine hitting of thirdsacker Bobby Ontko, second baseman Walt Folek, and rightfielder Dick Harvey. Each collected ,t wo hits, with Folek driving in three runs and Ontko two. Wilkes jumped off to a two-run lead in the first inning as both runs came across on an error. Muhlenberg came back with one in the second and the Colonels scored again in the third on Paul Aquilino's single. The Mules tallied again in ,t heir half of the inning, but Wilkes scored two in the fourth on Folek's hit. Folek produced another run in the sixth and Muhlenberg finished off their scoring in the bottom half of the frame. The Colonels iced the game with a three-run outburst in the eighth. Ontko doubled in a pair and Ralph Hendershot sent across the final Wllkea College Reveraible Jacket& See the new Quilted Corduroy Look Both with Wilkes Lettering 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

Full House Seen For Concert Junior Class Event Brings Living Legend Of World-Wide Fame A living legend, Louis Armstrong brings his golden horn and gravel voice to the gym tomorrow night for a two-hour jazz concert similar to those he has given before the crowned heads of nearly every European country. He used his brass to penetrate the "Iron Curtain," ma'king the usual big hit with the Moscow crowds on his most recent European tour. The 60-year old giant of the musical world has been a part of the jaz·z scene since his teen years, when he played in gin-mills for a dollar a night. He now commands the top dollar wherever he goes and has played before standing-roomonly crowds since 1925. When he toured the country in the thirties, he picked up his fantastic following as he barnstormed his way to fame with his improvisations of long-established hit music. He himself waxed many of Tin Pan Alley's top money-ma,king records, including: "Shine," "Chinatown," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and, of course, his best known, "Ain't Misbehavin'."

Information about the concert, posters, and tickets have been sent to colleges in Eastern 1Pennsylvania through the efforts of Ann Curley, chairman (continued on page 8) �2 Friday, April 29, 1960 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS Prejudice, Discrimination Hit Home We are pleased to welcome as guests this weekend students from Hampton Institute, who are here in the exchange program between the two colleges. With the "Free for All" tonight and the Jaz~ concert tomorrow night, they couldn't hav, picked a better tune to come for a week end of excitement and entertainment. Perhaps nothing _which takes place this week end can top what happened to Wilkes students when they visited Hampton, however. A routine exchange visit was turned into a hectic situation which pointed up the South's determination to continue keeping Negroes held to second-class citizenship. The situation was odd and happened as follows: A Wilkes student was driving a car belonging to one of the Hampton men. A policeman, seeing the integrated carload, stopped the vehicle and asked for the usual show of cards. The Wilkes driver produced his driver's license, but the owner's card was not available. The Hampton student owning the car had just recently purchased it and had not yet received his permanent record. He produced the legal binders showing legitimate ownership, but the policeman was not entirely convinced that all was in order. The Wilkes man was then taken to headquarters, fingerprinted, and booked for driving an illegally licensed car ... which was not in fact illegally licensed, as later evidence proved. We must emphasize here that the Hampton officials were prompt to act, sending lawyers, school officials, and bail bond money to get the Wilkes man released. We learned Tuesday evening that Dean Hawkins of Hampton informed Dean Ralston that the case was thrown out of court Monday as ridiculous. We further wish to make it clear that there were no violations involved when the arrest was made. The only reason that the policeman stopped the group was that the occupants of the car were of mixed color. The fact that he had found an apparent legal violation was only incidental. The students and citizens of the locality were outraged and were quick to offer help. The officials and students of Hampton were embarrassed by the action and of course were in no way responsible for the unhappy circumstances. Perhaps the reasons for the arrest may be that some Hampton students were at the time picketing various businesses in Richmond and Newport News in connection with the "sit-in" strikes which have recently been formed to combat the discrimination in the South. Whatever the reasons, we can only deplore the whole mess from the present "race" problems right back to the first day man put another man in slave chains. Finding the solution to the problem is no easy task, but before we go off to other continents, officially and officiously criticizing racial subjugation, we might better heed some good advice: "Physician, heal thyself." Misericordia Hosts Press Members of the Beacon staff recently attended the Second Annual Intercollegiate Press Conference held at College Misericordia. All those who attended had the opportunity of hearing professional journalists speak on various aspects of the newspaper business. They were encouraged and discouraged alternately as the afternoon progressed through the words of these experienced men and women. , During the discussion of these periods however some of the more common problems of running a college newspaper were brought out and various solutions that have been discovered on the college level were analyzed for their appropriateness at the present time. Beacon staff members were glad of having the opportunity to compare problems and solutions with students from Marywood, King's, and Misericordia. The only disappointment of the day was the lack of representatives from more colleges and universities. Since the conference was so well planned and organized, the loss was to those who were not in attendance. The afternoon proved revealing for us and we hope the other college students felt same. To the women of College Misericordia who surmounted many difficulties and pressures surrounding such an affair, we wish to express our appreciation, and hope that we were as gracious as guests as they were as hostesses.

In a sense it seems to me that our long de~ liberations and sincere interest in trying to arrive at a just solution resulted in naught. Either we were derelict in not being able to put across to the members of Student Government clearly and effectively our several reasons for deciding in favor of ICG, or else Bob chose only to emphasize the one part of our -~ easoning that seemed to justify his contemplated actions. Our decision, Mr. Editor, was a lengthy one. To our minds far more important than the immediate issues in this particular case was the I_>a_ramount _question of a legal pro_v1s1_on ( Pohcy 3, section b) which 1s so dangerously ambiguous so woefully inadequate, and so care~ lessly written that it leaves unlimited and arbitrary power to the particular individuals serving on Student Government at any given point in time. Strangely enough, however, we also saw in this provision a possible loo·p hole by which certain organizations, no less guilty than IOG, could conceivably escape any possibility of punitive action by the Student Government. In summary, Mr. Editor, it seems to us that if Policy 3 is allowed to continue unchanged all subsequent decisions of the Government must at best be subjective interpretations of doubtful legal activity. In the decision of the Court we were trying to say in effect to the members of Student Government "Put justice first! Do not punish an organization, no matter how guilty, as long as there exists any uncertainty as to what Student Government can constitutionally do." We were also making what we considered to be a necessary constructive ;recommendation to Student Government, a recommendation that we feel is of immediate and acute importance to every Wilkes College student and campus organization. In order to provide ~qua! protection before the law, 1t behooves Student Government to initiate steps by which its constitutional '})rovisions will be made to conform to at least the minimal standards of common and statutory law. Otherwise, long after the details of the IOG case have been forgotten this provision may continue to plague the Student Government and to newtralize its effectiveness. Permit me to express one final thought, Mr. Editor. I was amused and slightly nonplussed at some of the actions of individual members of Student >Government following the decision of the Court. They rushed out to consult with a trained lawyer to check on whether our understanding of legal processes was correct. Secondly, they showed, however momentarily, obvious irritation and resentment twoard a student member of the Court. Thirdly, I understand that a proposal was made for a secret ballot at the meeting of the Government on the question of upholding or over-riding the Court's decision. Finally, I read about "spinelessness and lack of intestinal fortitude" because of a position taken by certain members of Student Government on an issue that is at least subject to conflicting interpretations. Let me try to make cel'tain things clear. We, the members of the Court, are not trained lawyers. We can only offer to the students our judgement, our sincerity, and our objeotivity. We are wasting our time and our energies if deci2ions we are supposed to make judiciously can be upset by subsequent actions of Student Government based upon political and personal animosities. We do expect that certain of our decisions will be over-ridden by the Government, but we would hope that such action by Mary Frances Barone Last weekend James Walters and Gordon Roberts represented Wilkes in Washington, D.C.; they were attending the National Student Conference on the Sit-In Movements. Approximately 600 delegates from student governments of colleges and universities throughout the United States attended. •~ Strunk Appointed to Administrative Staff; Heads New Department In an effort to coordinate the functions of the development office, alumni office, and public relations, the College has named J. Horace Strunk, a former newspaperman, to fill the newly created post of Director of Development and Public Relations. Mr. Strunk will direct the activities of these offices, and will be charged with coordinating their related functions. The present change has occured in part as a result of the acceptance of new positions by the present administrators. Russell R. Picton, Jr., director of development and executive alumni secretary, resigned to accept a similar position with Randolph-Ma-con women's college in Lynchburg, Virginia, and William A. Zdancewicz, director of public relations, is leaving the college to accept an executive position in industry. Mr. Strunk comes to Wilkes from Bethlehem where he was administrative assistant in the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Bethlehem, A graduate of Blair Academy and Lafayette College, Mr. Strunk served as director of public relations at the institution. He is a veteran newspaperman, served in the European Theater during World War II, and became director of Alumni and Public Relations at Blair Academy after his honorable discharge. He has also served as executive secretary of the Pocono Mountains Chamber of Commerce and Vacation Bureau, and is former editor and publisher of Homefront, a wartime magazine p,repared for servicemen both home and abroad. He resides with his wife, the former Mona Lloyd, at 227 South Franklin Street. Freshman Piano Recital Given by J. A. McMahon Jean Ann McMahon, a scholarship student in the music department, presented her freshman piano recital on Palm Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Liva, Scranton. Miss McMahon is on the dean's list at Wilkes, she is treasurer\ of the Young Musicians Society of Wilkes-<Barre and Scranton, a member of the National Guild of Piano Teachers and National Fraternity of Student Musicians. A graduate of St. Patrick's High School in Olyphant where she maintained the High Honor average, she acted as the school pianist through her four years of high school. She has performed annually in the National Guild Auditions and holds a superior rating for eight programs. In May she will receive the Collegiate Freshman Diploma from the National Guild of Piano Teachers. She will perform a fifteen-piece program. Her recital included: Organ Prelude and Fugue No. 5, Bach-Kabalevsky; Allegro, from Sonata in C, K 284, Mozart; Concerto in B flat, No. 2 (Allegro), Beethoven; Tom Hrynkiw, second piano. Also included: Valse in C sharp minor and Revolutionary Etude, Chopin; Cirwill only be taken on the basis of logic and reason. Either the Court of Appeal represents an effective and dependable safeguard of the rights of individual students or it ought to be abolished as a meaningless and ineffective sham. Sincerely yours, George Elliot The conference was sponsored by the United States National Students' Association, composed of student government presidents. A special Taconic Foundation grant made this conference possible. On Friday, Donald Hoffman president of the USNSA, presided over the general session. The session was held in the auditorium of the All Souls Unitarian Church. The topic for this meeting was "The .Southern Movement in Pro~ spective." Several speakers represented southern colleges. One of the main speakers was Mahendra Widjesinghe, a representative of Ceylon University of India. The next general session on Saturday considered ,t h e topic, "Northern Supporting Action." After the general session, delegates participated in various discussion groups. In these groups the delegates considered recommendations for solving the Negro equality problem in the South. The conference, according to the Newsletter, of the USNSA, was called because of "the wide spontaneous spread of the student demonstrations, which began in the South on February 1, 1960, has generated interest and concern among students across the United States and around the world . . . ."

SWE-E-E-ET AD-O-LINEI Local ''Society'' Members Sing In Barber Shop Concert Parade by George J. Tensa In the village barbershop the gaslights illwninate four men: the barber and three of his customers. As the barber removes a ho~ towel from the face of his last customer, the man in the chair sits up, smiles and begins to hwn softly. As if this was the cue for which each had been waiting: the barber pauses, strokes his mustache, his eyes twinkle and he hums a sweet tenor; the man holding the Police Gazette stops reading an article on Anna Held and contributes a baritone; and the solitaire player, sitting in front of a shelf of ornately decorated mugs, adds a deep bass. Soon the room is filled with masculine voices singing in close harmony. The gaslights of the "Gay Nineties" are gone but the era's singing style of close, four-part harmony has remained with us throughout the years and has become an accepted part of the American music heritage. Because of the interest in barber shop quartet singing today, the barber-shoppers are organized into a national organization known as ,t he Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America. This month the 26,000 balladists of .S•P E1BSQSA are celebrating their 22nd anniversary. Among these are the 30 carolers of the Wyoming Valley Chapter. The local group meets every Monday evening at the. Kingston House. They extend a "chordial" invitation to all male music lovers to join them. Among the festivities of the local organization will be the Annual Parade of Quartets which will be held at Kingston High School next Saturday. Headlining the Parade will be the Pittsburghers, International Champions; the Check-Mates, Mid-Atlantic Champions; and the WC Students Recognized At I.C.G. Convention by Ralph Price On April 7, 8, and 9 seven members of ICG attended the State ICG Convention in Harrisburg. The Wilkes group was quite active at the convention with many delegates holding important positions during the proceedings. Mike Bianco and Betsy Hoeschele were on the State Executive Committee. Bianco was also a parliamentarian. Rose Neuser held the position of secretary of the major committee, the Commi-ttee of Labor and Industry. Carol Tangorra was timekeeper, and Pat Shovlin was a sergeant-at-arms. In addition to his other positions, Bianco was elected to the office of director of the N or-theast Region of IOG. This region numbers among its members such schools as Lehigh University, Lafayette College, Scranton University, Moravian College, Marywood College, and Mansfield State College.

"La casa de! angel" is based on the novel of the same title by Beatriz Guido, who is one of the most noted Latin American novelists. The movie deals with the adolescence of a 15 year old upperclass Argentinian girl in the 1920's. She is aroused to free herself from her pietistic and stern mother who raised her in a background of strict puritanism when she meets a politically inclined young man who is also a victim of his rigid upbringing. This film which was selected for exhibition at the Cannes International Film Festival and the London Film Festival in 1957, is an excellent example of Wilsson's skill as a director. The London Times states that, "The film's atmosphere of prurience and moral decay is evoked with such authority as to leave no doubt of a rare and uncompromising talent. . . ."

Pete Perog and Bob J anuszko provided the only scoring as they blanked their opponents by scores of 3-0. Perog astounded himself as well as his opponent by sinking a wedge shot from 100 yards out on the tough ninth hole for an eagle 2. Januszko beat Moravian's Volko who is considered in many ranks to :be one of the top players in Eastern college competition.

Three Research Gran~ Received by College; Two for Undergrads Soph Car Wash �2 Friday, May 6, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS XXIXlliiiXIIXXXIIIIIIXIX Ex-Athlete Injured It was with shock that we learned of the jet plane accident to Lt. Neil Dadurka, Wilkes '57, in California on Wednesday. The Beacon received confirmation yesterday of the critical nature of Lt. Dadurka's injuries. He was injured in a crash near Los Angeles on a routine flight from the U. S. Marine air base at El Toro. One leg was amputated and he is still listed in serious condition. Mary Homan, Wilkes senior, is in California now to be near her fiance. The couple had planned a June wedding. Sports fans at Wilkes will remember Dadurka as one of the outstanding Colonel football players and the heavyweight wrestler on the first Middle Atlantic championship team for John Reese. He was president of his senior class and was an honored member of the list of Beacon "Athletes of the Week." We join his friends on the campus, his family, and his fellow pilots in wishing him a speedy recovery. As a Wilkes athlete, he was accustomed to come-from-behind battles and his efforts frequently saved the day for the Colonels. We are sure that his playing-field courage will be a vital factor in this, the greatest battle of his life. A Job Well Done We are awaiting the final financial report from the junior class Armstrong jazz concert, but all indications are that the project was a resounding success at the box office. That the affair was otherwise a success goes without saying. We have heard glowing reports from people we never expected to see at a jazz concert in addition to the expected praise from longtime Satchmo fans. When the juniors' president, Gil Davis, first asked our support for this project in the Beacon offices late last year, we lauded his ambition and offered the opinion that he couldn't possibly have picked a better drawing-card to break the "big-name barrier" at Wilkes. We felt certain that he and his class could do the job, but we expressed grave doubts that a profit would be realized in excess of $150-200. It is apparent that when the final figures are known we will have to "eat crow," for it looks like our cautious estimate will be nearly doubled. This is of no consequences to anyone but the juniors, however. The important thing is that a long-argued project has been attempted at last. We feel that the day of big name bands for formal dance affairs is far in the future, but the class of '61 has proved that big-name entertainment is not only possible, but profitable. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Letters To The Editor: lilllllililllllllilllill Dear Sir: In order to clear up any misconceptions that might exist in the minds of Wilkes College students, we wish to record our common agreement on certain matters of principle and procedure. Although there has appeared to be serious differences of opinion among us, we find ourselves to be in basic harmony in regard to the essential problems and challenges now faced by the Student Government. In fact, we solicit the interest and cooperation of all members of the student body in attempting to correct any weaknesses which may now hamper the further effectiveness of student self-government at Wilkes College. All of us belive sincerely in the Student Government and the Court of Appeals, and we feel that both agencies have served the student body well. We also support both the action of the Court and of the Government in the recent I.C.G. case. We are convinced that a serious violation of the law did take place in regard to the chaperon requirement, and we are disturbed that unforeseen difficulties made it impossible for the ,Student Government to exercise its proper and desired function of protecting the interests of all Wilkes College students. We feel that this inability to exercise its constituted authority can not and should not be interpreted as any r eflection on the integrity or ability of present Government members. If any ambiguities or loopholes exist in the law, every member of the WHkes College community bears some responsibility and everyone should be desirous of correcting this deficiency as quickly as possible. The students of Wilkes College can have as good or as bad selfgovernment as they wish or deserve. It is, after all, their government, and it can only function with their continued interest and support. The careful election of members of the Government is, of course important, but of much greater significance is the good citizenship and responsibility of the various leaders and organizations on campus. Their actions and attitudes can either make student government effective and productive, or they can destroy it. Sincerely yours, George F. Elliot Gordon E. Roberts Robert D.

John Pierce and John Adams, two freshmen, closed out the Colonels' triumph with 3 to 0 matches. Lose to Scranton The Colonel golfers suffered their second loss of the season to the Scranton Royals last Thursday by the narrow margin of 10-8. The match was tightly contested throughout the afternoon as the Colonels forged into a slight lead after nine holes, but the Scranton boys displayed a fine, all-around iron game on a golf course which played "long" to win coming home on the back nine. ·P oint winners for Wilkes were: Bob Janus7;ko, 2-1; Al Stralka, 3-0; John Adams, 2½-½; and Pete McLaughlin, ½-2½.

Air Force Navigator. As a flying officer on the Aerospace team, he has chosen a career of leadership, a career that has meaning, rewards and executive opportunity. The Aviation Cadet Program is the gateway to this career. To qualify for this rigorous and professional training, a high school diploma is required; however, two or more years of college are highly desirable. Upon completion of the program the Air Force encourages the new officer to earn his degree so he can better handle the responsibilities of his position. This includes full pay and allowances while taking off-duty courses under the Bootstrap education program. The Air Force will pay a substantial part of all tuition costs. After having attained enough credits so that he can complete course work and residence requirements for a college degree in 6 months or less, he is eligible to apply for temporary duty at the school of his choice. If you ,think you have what it takes to earn the silver wings of an Air Force Navigator, see your local Air Force Recruiter.

John C. Metcalfe was engaged in the fascinating game of espionage himself when he posed as a Nazi-American Bund member to expose the storm trooper taotics by Nazi Germany in this country. That the pilot of the U-2 jet was trespassing is openly admit-ted. That the U.S. was caught red~handed in an act of airspace violation and espionage is likewise openly admitted, said Mr. Metcalfe. He further suggested that the U. S. had no other course but to smile and say, "Well, we both play the game, but you guys caught us off-base." He allayed fears that this incident would have adverse effect on the summit talks because, in his opinion, the talks would not have settled much anyhow. We can heartily concur with this opinion. The Soviet leaders have indicated a desire to take over ,t he free world by fair means or foul from the time they first took power in 1917. Lenin, Stalin, Malenkov, Bulganin, Khrushchevwhat's in a name? All have pursued, in one way or another, the same simply stated goals of the Qctober Revolution. The only thing the Reds intend to do is keep pressure on the West. They want neither war nor a lessening of international tensions. The former would ruin them, or at least give them control of a devasttated, wasteland world if they won. The latter, however, serves their purposes well, as it served them at Potsdam and Yalta. During the recent world war, the Allied propaganda machine ground out messages of brotherly love twoards the U.S.S.R. At the same time, Allied leaders shivered in mortal fear of the consequences of that unholy alliance. They knew ,t hat Russia's imperialist designs on what are now its satellite nations would threaten the mutual security of the West and post-war events proved the truth of those fears. We needed Russia to defeat the Nazis and trusted in diplomacy to contain the big.bad Bear. Diplomacy failed. The Reds got what they wanted and have never let up the pressure to gain -t he rest of their desires. \Ve knew that they were out to create a Communist empire by absorbing contiguous nations. The creation of that empire is a continuing process. They won't stop, and by maintaining international tensions, they know that we will only continue to make concessions and thus goes the vicious circle. What's the answer? Nobody seems to know. The fear of a devastating World War ill looms as a specter too menacing to risk force. BUT - in every instance of Western insistence the Reds have backed down, or at least made efforts to create tension in another area of the world. If we intend to get anywhere in this grim game of defensive chess, we'd better change our tactics and per,haps some of the rules of the game. It's time for Western powers to take off the gloves and try a little tough talk. The Berlin blockade failed when the Reds realized that the West would not back down. Berlin is still a sore spot. If our gambits at the summit contained a little offensive spirit - which the Reds are not accustomed to seeing perhaps they would be forced to try some concessions on their own.. Perhaps not. but we do know for certain that a defensive position will only result in more humiliation for the West. Somewhere the West must throw down the gauntlet and proclaim, "they shall not pass." Berlin is a better spot for such a s,t<;md than our own shores. If this be "brinksmanship," then so be it. The time has long passed when the West can take the word of Red diplomats. A strong stand at the summit is the only way we can come home from Paris with any prestige at all. The U-2 incident can be a blessing in disguise if we will only take the initiative and proclaim a firm intention to take positive steps towards providing a defense for W estem nations and selfgove~ent for all who wish it.

Lockerroom Chatter by RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor IN MEMORIAM Neil Dadurka, ex-Wilkes all-around athlete and past president ~f the Lettermen's Club, died last Thursday at 9:10 p.m. at March Air Force Base Hospital in Riverside, California, of injuries received when his jet plane erased nose down between two farm houses. Much has been written in the past few days about Neil and his heroic act of riding his crippled ship over heavily populated areas when he had a chance to eject himself into space and safety - and people have a sked, " Why?" Why didn't he leave the plane when he had plenty of tim e to do so'? To answer this qu estion one would only have to have met and talked to Neil once and I'm sure they would have realized, a s we who knew him realized, he would have never considered any other outlet. As we witnessed by his actions on the foot ball fie ld and on the wrestling mat, N eil was never one to turn away from a challenge. Most of the time the odds were stacked against Neil as he continually faced bigger and faster men on the line and on the mat. However, hustle and determination, plus an extraordinary will to win, were always added to Neil's side, and when he put porth his efforts on the athletic scene this extra someNeil Dadurka thing sort of evened things up. I was fortunate to have played football with Neil, thus giving me a personal relationship with him, and one thing I remember distinctly was when we played our final game of the season against Moravian. On a certain play Neil flashed downfield as we were going for a long scoring pass. Neil hadn't scored a touchdown that year and this was his final college game. Both he and the other end broke into the clear as I dropped back to throw. The ball didn't go to Neil and his teammate missed the pass. Neil n ever said one word to me as he hustled back to the huddle, shoutin g that we'd get them on the next play. That's the kind of guy he was, I never knew him to say one unikind word to anyone. His popularity was reflected in his being chosen to co-captain the wrestling team that year and in the opening match against East Stroudsburg he went along for the ride as the football season had ended just a few days before. At the last moment, Neil was asked to wrestle in a trial match. As things developed, Neil went into his heavyweight bout with Wilkes losing, 15-14, and quickly responded with a pin victory to win the meet for Wilkes. Neil won nine and lost two that year as he completely r eversed his previous season's record of no wins and four losses. As we sat in the cafeteria one day before the wrestling season started, he commented to me about the insanity of the wrestlers for electing him co-captain after his showing the year before. However, his teammates on the squad realized, I'm sure, as we who 1knew him, that it wasn't records that counted with Neil, it was his heart, and plenty of heart he had. Neil's heart can probably be best shown by his meeting with the president of TDR at the beginning of his senior year. He approached the sorority head in the capacity of president of the Lettermen's Club, and he posed this question to her, "What can the lettermen do to help you girls in any way this year? The lettermen are getting the reputation of being slobs," he continued, "can we help in any project, even serve at teas?" And there was the criteria for the year, serve at teas we did, .and what's more, we enjoyed it. THANKS Thanks Neil, thanks for being you to the end. We'll always remember the contributions you made to the college, to your friends, and to the future generations that will pass on this campus. But most of all, we'll remember the day you gave your greatest contribution to the people you ·c hose to protect, the day you entered the "AIi-American" honor roll for action above and beyond the call of duty. and several Wilkes rallies Netmen Meet Albright, ' season as Dirk Dunlap and Ron Bieknowdropped their first singles sets Close Year at Moravian; ski but came on strong in the second and third to win their matches.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Ira Himm.el Shows Heart Drive, Paces Nelmen lo Third Win The Colonel baseball team will travel for two games this week before returning to oppose a strong Scranton squad. Tomorrow they don the visiting uniforms when they tangle with Albright. Coach Pinkowski will be trying to shake the away jinx which has been hampering the locals in the win column . Senior George Gacha will probably get the starting bid against Joe Wertz, the hard-throwing righthander for Albright. On Tuesday the Ursinus Bears will host the ·Blue a nd Gold squad. The Bears are in third place in the power-laden Southern Division with a 6-3 record. Jim Whenhold, Ed Savastio, and George Armstrong head the Ursinus batmen while Len Drummond is their leading hurler. The Scranton Royals highlight the returning game to Artillery Park as the Colonels attempt to avenge an earlier season 6-5 loss. The Royals are the top team in the Northern Division with a 5-1 log. George Gacha will be the sure starter in the Colonels' avenge try. Ralph H endershot, Walt Folek, Jerry Lawrence, and John Mattey will furnish the power for the Blue and Gold. Bob Meckwood, who- is leading the league in strikeouts and earned run average, will get the Rayols nod for mound duty. On Saturday the Colonels lost a 22-5 contest to Susquehanna University. The Crusaders celebrated their Alumni Day by having a fireworks at the expense of the Colonel hurlers. Nick Alesandro started for the locals and absorbed his first defeat. Gacha, Folek, Lawrence, and again the "Gooch" hurled for the hapless Blue and Gold. The highlight for the Colonels in the romp was the hitting of Paul "Untouchable" Aquilino. The lefthander finally broke his hit famine by banging out three bingles. Dick Harvey also had three hits, including a double. Bob Ontko and 'B ill Schutter chipped in with triples. Ira Himmel captain and coach of the Wilkes tennis team, has been named as "Athlete of the Week" for his outstanding play at Susquehanna University. Wilkes emerged with a 6-3 victory. Last Saturday we saw Himmel fight his heart out to overcome a player w ho had defeated him previously this year. Jack Wurster, Susquehanna singles netman, had defeated him fo a. hard fought contest by 6-8, 6-2, and 4-6. Howe\·er, on Saturday Ira was determined to ·come out the victor. The match began with Wurster taking a quick lead over Ira by 4-1. Ira then foug ht from behind to tie the score at 5-5. Wurster then took the next game plus the first three points of the following game. The score then stood at 5-6 in games and 0-40 in favor of Wurster. Ira then realizing his disadvantage clamped down on his opponent and took the next five points to tie the set at six games apiece. Having come back fro m this edficit of set point, there was no stopping Ira. H e put the pressure on and won the next two games, giving him the set, 8-G. Not being satisfied with this score, he finished off his opponent in a fashionable manner of 6-0. Ira has also defeated singles players from Lycomine; and Rutgers. It was three years ago that Ira started the game of tennis on an intercollegiate level at Wilkes. Since then he has worked hard with the team both in playing and coaching. Ira is a senior with a major in Commerce and Finance. He resides at Butler Hall and comes from Passaic, N.J. Ira intends to continue his education by attending George Washington Law School next fall. One of his goals is to see the tennis Ira Himmel team have their own courts and also possess a winning record. Both of these goals are finally becoming a reality. GOLF NEWS The golf team, whose record now stands at three wins and four losses, will host Lycoming this afternoon at two o'clock on the links at the Irem Temple Country Club. The Colonels will be out for their second win over Lycoming, having defeated them earlier in the season at Williamsport. Tomorrow the team travels to Harpur College, New York, for the Tarpur Tourney.

They pulled the upset of the year by downing the previously unbeaten Rowdies by a 9 to 5 score. This stinging defeat threw the league into a three-way tie between Ray's Recruits, the Rowdies, and the Blivets. The game was close all the way with the lead changing hands three different times. In the sixth inning Tom "Guffy" Pugh blasted a grand-slam home run to ice the game for the Blivets. The former Plmouth ace had three-for-four with six RB'l's to lead his club to victory. Gary "the gazelle" Vandenburg astounded the crowd with a circus catch in right-centerfield in the last inning to choke off a final threat .b y the Rowdies. The way it looks now the underdog Blivets are the dark-horse team. Look for them to surprise the haughty defending champs, the Recruits, and the slugging Rowdies in the playoff games.

We on the Beacon have our share of such people and we can't close our pages for the year without giving them their long overdue recognition. · First and foremost, we are grateful to Bill Zdancewicz of the College Public Relations Office. Bill has been a member of the staff both before and after his graduation from the College. His office has been a gold-mine of information and supplies, but more than that, his cheerful willingness to assist us in every way and his unquestioning "Okay" ,t o every request we've made are in no small way responsible for whatever success the Beacon has enjoyed this year. To Bill go our hearty thanks and good wishes as he leaves the Colege scene to make new friends in industry. To our advisor, Mr. Francis J. Salley, we also give a tip of the editorial hat. Mr. Salley has been patient and long-suffering and has given us encouragement, free rein, and several good "tips," in addition to serving in his official capacity. We Jmow we've made him sweat a few times, but he has always supported us fully in spite of our forays off the straight and narrow path. We have made mention of our mechanical department several times in the past as being the "unofficial school of journalism" at Wilkes. Now that we have finished the year, we can only add a hearty "amen" to our previous praises of Schmidt's Printery. They have been more than good to the Beacon over the past year and have never hesitated to help us solve a technical problem or advise us on our plans for future editions. With their recent acquisition of a brand new imported printing press, the physical appearance of the Beacon has been improved and the efficiency of this modem mechanical marvel has enabled them to keep intact our record of prompt appearances every Friday. To "Pop" Schmidt, proprietor and compositor; to :Eddie Schmidt, linotye operator, our technical advisor and punster par excellence: and to Leo Schmidt, pressman and the last one to handle the Beacon before it is transformed from idea to finished product, we wish to express our sincere thanks for a long and warm friendship which goes far beyond the mere niceties of a business relationship. We have our share of critics, whose comments also go a long way towards making a newspaper. Without defining the limits of the membership of this group of citizens we would have to include just about every one of our acquaintances. We'd like ,t o narrow the field to several faculty members whose words have been most valued. Miss Dworski, in her triple role of teacher, critic, and friend, has been one of these, as has Mr. Disque. Both have served as ex officio consciences by means of subtle admonitions, gentle proddings, and a general observance of our work which served to keep us on our toes. Just about every other member of the faculty and administration has aided us in this respect, but to single out a few of the . most prominent, we'd like to recognize the influence of Dr. Reif, Mr. Miller, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Elliot, who have always taken an interest in our efforts. Closing out the round of bouquets to the non-student citizenry, we salute the grandest personality of them all, without whom Wilkes College would be a very gloomy place indeed, the genial manager of the.bookstore, Miss Mildred Gittins. Millie has been on the scene Jor 16 years and has seen a lot of students come and go. She has alvyc;1y~ been a cheerful source of information, but we are more ~ to her for something of greater value than material hi!tlp ..,..J, that is her friendship. Letter to the Editor .•. iiiiiiililliiiiiiiliiiii To: The Wilkes College Student Body From: Gordon E. Roberts, Student Government President I would like to extend to you the appreciation of your Student Government and myself for the tre1mendous cooperation rendered to this governing body in the past year. We feel, as we hope you do, that Student Government at Wilkes College has continued to grow. This growth is the result of serious thinking, adequate planning, and genuine cooperation among those who represented you on the Student Government. It is my hope that this thinking, planning, and cooperation will continue. The newly elected officers of the Student Government will need all the assistance that can be extended to them. I am sure that this help will be forthcoming, for every action and decision of the Student Government should be geared to the goal of making the vision of Wilkes College reach its fruition. Tennyson once wrote, "I am a part of all that I have met." Surely, Wilkes College is very much a part of all of us. Sincerely, Gordon E. Roberts --PERSONALS-- The newly-elected officers of Barre Hall for 1960-61 are: president, George Gavales; vice-president, George Watson; treasurer, Mike Samberg; secretary, •Bill Hun; and I.D.C. representatives, Dave Peters and Vince Capo. Senior Ira Himmel has been accepted to George Washington Law School. Bill Cox, senior accounting major, has accepted a job with Herdman and Cranston of New York. Bill will be working as a junior accountant. Frank Edwards plans to teach in the music department of West Pittston High School immediately following graduation. Two chemistry majors, Pat Levandoski and Carol Lowcavage, will be employed by DuPont, Inc., as chemists in Gibbstown, New Jersey. Another senior chemistry major, Bernie Radecld will be working with DuPont at Parlin, New Jersey. Three mathematics ,m ajors have accepted positions in Radnor, Pennsylvania. .Bob Beneski will be with I.B.M.; Nick .Siecko and Arnie PopAmong the student body ,there are many who have aided ky have been hired by Burroughs, us in our weekly task. We can't single any of them out for Inc. . .·staff and Students, Too mention here; the list would be too vast. We are deeply grateful for the help .of every organization. In particular, we are happy to hc;ive had the valued aid of the Student Government. We feel that this year's group has been the best in recent years, showing .a most reasonable and moderate attitude in their conduct of student affairs. Of course, our own staff members have made great contributions to this year's Beacon. Special thanks ·go to Cynthia Hagley, who stepped in ,t o fill a vacancy smoothly and efficiently and to Jay Olexy, next year's editor, who has taken to his tasks like a duck to water. Also of significant import has been the business department under -t he unbelievable efficiency of Dan Lewis and his small, but effective staff. Steve Cooney and Gloria Zaludek have done yeoman service with our exchange service, as well as giving the Beacon files their first updating in twenty years. Professional critics have rated our sports section as the top feature of the Beacon. We are proud of the accomplishments in this field, the sole responsibility of Ray Yanchus, who took time out from a busy schedule to edit that section. Our chief asset in preparation of copy for the press has ibeen the flying fingers of Jean Shofranko, a first-class typist who has also borne a lion's share of the reporting and writing chores. We don't mean to overlook any staff members, but there are many more whose names we. can't list here. Their by-lines have appeared above their stories, however, and that is our way of thanking them for ;their work. A Blanket Apology In the course of our duties we have made more than our share of mistakes, perhaps. This is inevitable, ·b ut in our case inexcusable. It is ou, duty· present the news accurately, objectively, and coni,p~teJy. We know that we have failed to do this in all too mall-y cases. We have had "goof-ups" large and small under the pressure of time and human error. Jo AMNICOLA EDITORS (continued from pap l) Campus Observer I PRIVATE ===s:~=-===••$•.~-•~•••$· ~. THANKS As this is the last column that will appear this year under the title of the Campus Observer, r would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the many persons who have helped to make this column the spiall success that it was. At times during the past year, there was a large number of persons, both students and faculty members, who knew the identity of the author of this column. No name or by-line was used, not for the purpose of secrecy, but to provide interest and inquisitive- ness on the part of the students. Much of what you have read here was mere rumor; a larger part was fact ; and a small part was prediction. Some of the rumors were true, others turned out to be false; some of the predictions came true, others did not. Facts are still facts: I didn't make the news just reported it as I saw it. True, much of it was personal opinio~: mine. Many of those who disagreed with the opinions printed here took the opportunity to voice their own ideas. This was one of the purposes of this column: to bring into print controversial issues. At times I took sides, but I always took the side that I thought was right. Such is the freedom of opinion. I would especially like to thank Dick Myers, editor of this publication for the help and advice he has given in the past. Without his help this column would still be a dream - or maybe a nightmare. Stev'e Cooney has numerous times provided information that otherwise would never have been known, as had Fred Jacoby, Cynthia Hagley, Jean Shofranko, Bob Washburn, Gordon Roberts, and many, many others. As the Campus Observer, I could not be everywhere; but, through the eyes and ears of others, I could report the happenings on campus. The cartoon that has appeared at the head of this column several timeg was drawn especially for use in this column by Richard Blisick, a resident of Butler Hall. Mr. Arthur Hoover has helped and guided me on numerous occa- r sions as has the faculty advisor for this publication, Mr. Francis J. • Salley. I am happy to say that this column has never been censored edited corrected, and guided, but never censored. This freedom from censo;ship was a privilege, not a right, and not infrequently this privilege was trod upon. Myers, as the editor, knew that even though he was not the author, anything that appeared in this column would be thrown right back in his face. Several times he took the brunt of the attack by persons disagreeing with the opinions voiced here. Again t' Dick, many thanks. . . . Last, but definitely not least, I wish to thank Rose Ann Bellet1eri for the moral and psychological help in writing this column in the past year. To one and all of you who have read and shown an interest in this column, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! •• • • • ACCIDENT VICTIMS Last Tuesday afternoon two young men from Wilkes were riding down Market Street, Kingston, on a blue motor-scooter when they were suddenly strucJk down by an automobile. The impact threw the stude~ts over the automobile. They landed head first on the pavement, knocking them both unconscious. The students were Bob Kundreskas and John Thomas both day students from the West Side. We hope that by the time this is published both of them will have already recovered.

Some of us will be coming bacik next year to enjoy another semester or two of study, finals; study, finals; and that sort of thing. For others graduation is here, myself included, and it's back to the salt mines. With this issue we close out the Beacon for another semester, and as you know, to accomplish any project, many hands are needed, hands · that work in cooperation with each other, and therefore, a thank you is in order to all the friends who helped us make the deadline every Friday morning, and present to you the sports scene as we saw it. A paper is only as good as its head and I believe we had an exceptional one at the helm this year in Dick Myers. Many a time he pulled me out of trouble spots with page layout, more space, and especially a most boring job of proofreading my atrocious typing. The sports action could only be reported by a number of snoop and scoop hounds such as pounded out their message on their keys throughout the various sports campaigns. Don Hancock, next year's sports editor, was a great aid; George Tensa added life to any story he wrote; John Nork kept us alive on the bowling news; Jay Olexy told us about inside golf; and Tom "Dewey" Evans made the intramural program a big part of the campus. Something we never could have done without was the typing aid . given by Jean Shofranko when circumstances piled up, and that was usually every week. .Steve Cooney took us across the nation and gave us helpful tips from other newspapers with his roundup of the exchange program, and Dan Lewis kept us squared away in the financial department. Our friends in public relations, headed by Bill Zdancewicz and Mrs. Herbert, took excellent care of us, as did the rest of the personnel in Chase Hall. · Russell Picton was always available to give us a life when it was needed. Mr. Reese and Mr. Ralston rendered their services inumerable times with their cooperative gestures on any type of matter. A special note of appreciation is necessary for Art Hoover who wovked hand in hand with us and gave us first call .on all sports literature coming into the college. His was an enduring task of putting up with our constant chatter and shortcomings. No paper is workable without a mechanical George Gacha and Ralph Hendershot department and we had the best, barring none; Pop, Leo, and Eddie Schmidt took us over the ropes and were invaluable throughout the year with their patience and understanding. And finally, deepest appreciation is in order to the sports teams ATHLETE OF THE WEEK and their coaches. They provided. us with the action that could be turned into copy and presented to you, the .reading public. Without them we hadn't any existence. They gave us plenty of thrills, loads of excitement, and lots to be proud of in the way of prestige and good sportsmanship. They were the backbone, not only of our department, but of the entire sports activities at the college, and so to you, the athletic squads of 1959-1960, a most special salute and thank you for Bobby Ontko, slugging third baseman on the baseball team, a tremendous year. earns this week's "Beacon" Award for his play during the past Face Lycoming in Home Games as Season Ends; 3 Seniors in Finale The baseball team closes out the 1960 season tomorrow against Ly. coming College in a doubleheader . that will get underway at 1 p.m. in Artillery· Park.

The premiere production, which will be presented in the Irem T ernple Monday evening, October 10, will be the exciting Ballet Espanol Ximenez-Vargas of Madrid. New and imaginative ideas are brought to the dance theatre by the proudest of Madrid's dance companies; featuring two of the leading male dancers in the world today Roberto Ximenez and Manolo Vargas. . These co-stars are supported by a company .of twelve dancers, singers, and musicians headed by the beautiful Maria Alba, who joined the company this year. The second " Theatre 3" presentation on Tuesday, December 13 will headline the superb pantomime artist Marcel Marceau and his Compagnie de Mime. Perhaps the most difficult and the least practiced of anv of the spectacular arts, pantomime is the very essence of the theatre. Mr. Marceau has 'Written concerning it: "Everything can be expressed through the art of mime, which shuns the deceitful words that raise barriers against comprehension between men." The final theatrical offering on Friday; March 10th will be the most lovable of all Italian operas, by Patsy Rossi The Inter-Dormitory Council is sponsoring the "Student Union Swing," which will be held this Friday evening from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. in the gymnasium.

Peter Greenberg, president of the I.D.C., stressed the importance of a large attendance at the dance. All proceeds will be used to defray the costs of the student union which is to be located in the basement of Barre Hall. The student union will be availabl e to dormitory and day students alike.

The plot of "The Matchmaker" revolves around an old, rich merchant who finally decides to marry. He subsequently employs a female matchmaker who becomes involved with employees of the merchant, the headwaiter of an expensive r estaurant, and an assortment of other people. The encounter with the headwaiter moves this swift farce headlong into a hilarious climax of cdmplications. "The Matchmaker" employs 16 thespians, with some roles as yet not cast. There are nine male roles and seven female parts. Anyone interested in trying out for a part should contact Mr. Alfred Groh. Mr. Groh, theatre advisor, announced the following committees for the fo1-thcoming play: David Meinster, properties and furnish ings; Romelle Gomba, costumes; Bianca Moscata, make-up; Warren H a r t m a n, lighting; and Steve Robertson, publicity.

September 30, WILKES COLLEGE. BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- Let's All Pitch In With the distribution of this issue, the Beacon is proud to "kick off" the 1960 United Fund campaign on campus. The part we will play in this campaign will be minute tompared to the roles which Al Kishel, the freshman class, and others have played in the organization of this year's drive. Unfortunately, some members of the student body will show a lack of mature thinking when they are asked .to make a contribution to this worthwhile organization. Many individuals will give a multitude cif reasons why it is impossible or unnecessary to contribute. These sam.e reasons are heard every yeax:. What these people fail to realize, however, is that they themselves will benefit. either directly or. indirectly, from one or more of the 56 agencies supported by the United Fund. Actually, there should be no need for putting the campaign on such a competitive basis as the plan outlined in the story on the previous page. We, as adults and citizens of a country upon which so many blessings have been bestowed should be grateful for the chance to help ourselves, rather than accept aid from others. One of the "Marks of An Educated Man", listed on the first page of the college catalog states: "He is conscious of his responsibility as a citizen. and participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community." Certainly, no better test of a "citizen's responsibility" could present itself than the challenge to each Wilkes student to do his part in seeing that the goal set before us is attained.

Wilkes, bolstered by eleven returning lettermen, of which only three are seniors, lost to Lebanon Valley, 14-8, in the season opener. The Colonels' spirits have been high, with only a few minor injuries up until Tuesday afternoon when Marv Antinnes was injured during an intra-squad scrimmage. Dr. Griffin, team physician, who was fortunately present to give first aid to Antinnes, stated that he had sustained a "clavicular separation" in his left shoulder. He was taken to Nesbitt Memorial Hospital for x-rays to determine whether or not any bones had been chipped. How soon he returns to the team depends on the extent of damage to the ligaments. RETURNING LETTERMEN-Front row: Frank Spudis, Al Dobrowalski, Marv Antinnes, Jerry Mohn, Tom Krisulevicz, Paul Aquilino. Back row: Rick Rees, Don Eller, Jim Brunza, and Ed Gavel. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK TRooters Go to Rider With Loss of Roberts; Beaten by Alumni, 3-1 Dobrowalski Earns First "Beacon" Award; End Sparkles on Defense Al Dobrowalski, (No. 82, above), senior gridiron standout at en~ this year was named the first "Athlete of the Week" for his outstanding offensive and defensive performance against Lebanon Valley last Saturday. He was named outstanding lineman of the game and also received honorable mention on the All-East team of the East ern Collegiate Athletic Conference. A 19'57 graduate of Plymouth High School where he lettered in football, Al started hi s collegiate football career in his sop homore years as center and this year was shifted from center to offensive end and defensive halfback. Majoring in Secondary Education, he is also a member of the Lettermen's Club and the Education Club. Coach Francis Pinkowski, in switching to an "I" from the straight " T" formation from which the Colonels operated last year, has switched FrankQ Spudis from end to quarterback to plug the gap left by the graduation of Ray Yanchus. In other changes made, Al Dobrowalski has been shifted to end and Bob H erman has taken over at center with Don Eller moving from the halfback position to the line as guard. Paul Aquilino will continue to call the signals as quarterback along with Spudis and Jim Brunza has been shifted from guard to halfback. Tom Krisulevicz continues as halfback, Marv Antinnes a s fullback, Ed Gavel as tackle, J erry Mohn as guard, and Rick Rees as an end. The game tomorrow shapes up to be another tough one for the Colonels as Moravian sports a strong team which has weak spots only in pass defense and offense. Top-heavy with fifteen freshmen, the 'Hounds are building for the future and are admittedly looking to 19'64 as th e year when they hope to have a powerful team. Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels opened their 1960 season by dropping a 14-8 decision to Lebanon Valley College at Annville. The lone Wilkes score came halfway through the final quarter when Ray Marchakaitus ran forty yards with a ball which had been deflected from the arms of Lebanon Valley quarterback Wesley MacMillan by Wilkes lineman Jerry Mohn. The two t eams engaged in a scoreless first quarter b e f o r e Brooks Fletcher recovered a fumble for the Dutchmen early in the second. The Lebanon Valley t eam made the game's first deep penetration mid-way in the second period after taking a Colonel punt on their own thirty-eight yard line. Moving behind a series of three first downs, the home team was on th e Wilkes two with about only by George Tensa Tomorrow the soccer team will travel to Trenton, N.J. to meet a strong Rider College squad. Rider was one of the top offensive teams in the nation last season and featured a high-scoring line which carried them to national r ecognition last year. The last meeting between the Colonels and the Roughriders was in 1958 when the Wilkes hooters blanked the visitors, 4-0. In series play, the two teams are tied at three victories each. The Colonels s uffered a severe blow last Saturday when Clyde Rob erts, veteran lineman at outside left, was injured during the alumni-varsity game in Artillery Parle He will be lost to the team for an indefinit e period of time. The loss of Clyde's "big foot" will be felt as Coach Ferris was counting quite highly on him to help offset the lack of experience on the t eam. After a scoreless first half which featured topnotch defensive play by both backfields, the Alumni erupted for three goals in the third quarter to down the Varsity, 3-1. After four minutes of play in th e second half, Tim Jenkins, Alumni outside right, took a pass from inside left John Reese and dented the net from thirty-five feet out to put the Alumni ahead, 1-0. Moments later, Younsu Koo intercepted a Varsity pass and set up a "head" shot for Tom Ruggiero to collect the second Alumni goal. Clyde Roberts put the Varsity in the scoring column midway in the third frame when he took a pass from inside left George Tensa and booted it past Alumni goalie Bob Payne and into the net. Moments later, the Alumni added an insurance point as Carl "Hummer" Havria, outside left, blasted the ball out of the reach of goalie John . . .

Frosh Sponsor UF Dance �Friday, October 7, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- A Lack of Interest As the first two weeks of the semester go "by the boards," we seem to have sensed a certain apathetic attitude on the part of the student body in regard to extra-curricular affairs on campus. Others, as well, are aware of this apathy but are not in the position to be as concerned about the situation as one whose job it is to report the activities of a college campus. To be sure, many have been working hard to promote and plan those things which add to the complete development of the college student. Unfortunately, it seems, these are the same people who have been "carrying the ball" in former years. We do not mean to imply by any means that extra-curricular activities deserve prime attention in deference to scholastic matters. We all realize our main purpose for attending college. We do, however, urge those who are not taking part in some form of extra-curricular activity to do so. By missing this aspect of college, they are losing the best chance to develop intellectual confidence, poise, sociability, and many other traits which help an individual to a full, mature life. One aspect of student apathy can be shown by the fact that no "Letters to the Editor" have been received by us as of the present. We don't mean to encourage a flood of letters about trivial matters, but we think that you should be aware of your chance to voice sentim.e nts concerning any form of student life. Address your letters to the editor of the Beacon and sign them. Your name will be withheld from print, if requested. We were also informed of the lack of cooperation exhibited at a recent Student Government meeting. Some members called upon to give reports were totally unprepared. This is certainly no way to insure a smooth operation of student affairs, and such conduct isn't indicative of responsible individuals. Finally, lack of preparation and planning is evident at the club level. Club meetings have been cancelled or postponed, and those organizations who have already conducted affairs have not cooperated with the Beacon to insure the receipt of adequate publicity. Let's all attempt to cooperate with the heads of the various clubs and organizations and to show some enthusiasm. If you are asked to do a task-get it done and on time. It is often the seemingly insignificant tasks that determine whether or not a project is successful. This will be in evidence next week when the best Homecoming display is selected. Sludenl Governmenl Elecls Two lo Appeals Courl by Gloria Zaludek Two students were elected as members of the Court of Appeals at the Student Government m eeting h eld last Monday night. The students elected were Sally Price, senior English major, and Pete Greenberg, junior biology major. Serving also on the Court of Appeals will be two faculty members and one member of the administration. Al Kishel, chairman of the United Fund Drive, announced that students contributing to the fund through clubs and dormitories need not make additional contributions to the class. It was announced that organizations sponsoring an affair will be notified by the Student Government three weeks in advance of the affair. This will give these organizations time to fill out and submit their student activity and_chaperone forms to a Student Government member two weeks in advance. Student Government will hold its meeting promptly at 6 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of every month. WIIAT - WHERE - WHEN Art Club Meeting - Conyngham Annex, 4 p.m., Today.

Homecoming Display, Halloween Dance On Senior Agenda Presenting The Issues by Sandy Biber The Senior Class discussed its plans for Homecoming Weekend at its meeting last Tuesday in Pickering 203. Jim Neddoff, chairman of the Homecoming Display Committee, briefly described the theme and the type of display which will probably be built. If the class can obtain a truck, N eddoff hopes to construct a flotit with "Colonel Cro0kett" presiding over it as it leads the car caravan to the football game on Saturday afternoon. Nominations were held for the Senior Executive Council. The senior student government members and the class officers will choose the members of the council from the nominees. Day students of the class were asked to donate to the United Fund. Boarding students will make their contributions through their respective dormitories. The class also voted to give twenty dollars to the United Fund from its treasury. Plans were formulated for a dance which will be held Friday, October 28. The dance, entitled "The Cat's Meow", will have a Halloween theme. by Steve Robertson and Glen Beebe, Co-chairmen, "Students fo-r Nixon - Lodge" Education Club Has Record Attendance At First Meeting by Mary Alice lsganitis Members of the Education Club began the Fall semester with a record attendance at the first meeting. Included on the agenda were futur e plans for discussions on teaching in foreign countries, psychology and education, and teaching the physically and mentally handicapped. A field trip to a home for mentally retarded children and a visit to Kis-Lyn Industrial School for boys are also included in future plans. A panel of student teachers will discuss their experiences in student teaching later this year. This discussion will aid students in finding out more about their vocation and in gaining knowledge which will be helpful to them as teachers. Wilkes is a charter member of the Student Pennsylvania State Education Association and the permanent home of the Northeastern District of the SPSEA. Meetings with various colleges throughout the Valley are held each year. Officers for the coming school year are: Robert Amey, president; Joan Leggetts, vice-president; Peggy Churchill, recording secretary; Nancy Davies, corresponding secretary; Sallie Price, treasurer; and Janice Bronson, librarian. All students interested in the field of education are invited to attend the next m eeting which will be h eld at 11 a.m., October 11, in Pickering 203. PERSONALS by Robert S. Evans William Space, Robert Austin, and Foster Swan completed the Junior Platoon Leaders Class at Quantico, Va. this summer. Upon completion of the senior program they will be commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Marine Corps. Miss Jean Shofranko, 1960• graduate, and Robert Payne, class of '59, were honored by members of the Meyers High School faculty at a t ea recently. The two former Wilkes students are members of the English department at Meyers. Josia Mieszkowski, former student at Wilkes and active participant in Cue 'n' Curtain musicals, is spending a few days on campus visiting friends. Miss Mieszkowski is now residing in New York. Miss Barbara Ba chman, 1960 graduate and campus personality of that class, recently became engaged to Frank Edwards, r ecent graduate and editor of the Amnicola. This is the second in a series of articles concerning some of the issues prevalent in the current presidential campaign. Students of Wilkes: We agree with the only intelligent statement that appeared in this column last week: "Foreign policy is the primary issue of this presidential campaign." We will take each of Mr. Krasa's other statements and show, not with sweeping generalities, but with facts, their obvious absurdity, and, at times, their complete departure from truth. The famed kitchen debate between Vice-President Nixon and Mr. Khrushchev is certainly open to many interpretations. But the fact of the matter is that Mr. Khrushchev was expounding another variation of his oft-repeated theme, "I say that your grandchildren will live under Communism," and that VicePresident Nixon was also expounding the hope and genuine desire of multitudes around the world by telling Mr. Khrushchev that his grandchildren will live under freedom and democracy. This is the huge backdrop to the main issue-foreign affairs, whether or not the world will live under Communism or Democracy. Mr. Krasa has stated that in Japan "the friendly Kishi government fell." Mr. Krasa has a remarkable consistency for being absolutely wrong. The FACTS are as follows: Nobusuke Kishi resigned as head of the ruling Liberal Democrats and as Prime Minister of Japan. The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan DID NOT FALL and Mr. Kra$a's statement that it did is an insult to the intelligence of those who simply read the local newspapers. To set the record straight, Prime Minister Kishi, a pro-western Japanese and a man absolutely oppos.e d to Communism, was succeeded by Trade Minister Hayata Ikeda. Ikeda, like Kishi, is definitely prer, western and, likewise, realizes the menace of international Communism. In fact, Ikeda's position as Prime Minister and the continuation of the Liberal Democrats as the ruling party of Japan insures continuous close relations with the United States. (Newsweek, July 25, 1960, p. 49) Mr. Krasa stated: "In South America, he (Nixon) provoked hatred both to himself and the country he represented." If Mr. Krasa had not been so obviously disinterested in the facts, he could have found that the riots in South America were Communist inspired and directed. To show the general approval with which Mr. Nixon's actions were met, when the Nixon plane put down at Washington's National Airport, fifteen thousand people were jammed shoulder to shoulder on the apron; among them was the Senate leadership-Lyndon Johnson for the Democrats and Senator William F. Knowland for the RepublicansF.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover, Senator Hubert Horatio Humphrey, A.E.C. Chairman Lewis Strauss, students bearing handlettered signs in English and ungrammatical Spanish, but all pro-Nixon, and, as a spec_ial gesture, the President. Along the motorcade's route, another eighty-five thousand people lined the streets-the biggest crowd to turn out in Washington's history. Shortly thereafter, the Democratic controlled House of Representatives commended Nixon unanimously for "his courageous and dignified conduct." Mr. Krasa has stated that Christian Herter had no experience in foreign policy before being appointed to the State Department. As early as 1947, Mr. Herter was made chairman of a select committee, known as the Herter Committee, on foreign aid and relations. This committee made an on-the-spot study of the requirements and resources of countries receiving aid under the Marshall Plan. Mr. Nixon was also a member of this committee which visited each of the countries in question. (Congressional Quarterly 8-12-60, p. 1397). Mr. Nixon has visited a total of sixty-two countries since becoming Vice-President. In 1953 he visited twenty-one countries; in 1955, ten; 1956, eleven; 1957, nine; 1958, nine; 1959, two. His missions to foreign countries have given him a unique opportunity to study at first hand the problem of U.S. Foreign relations, to get acquainted with the heads of foreign states, to implement the policies of the administration abroad and to formulate his own opinions on how they can best be dealt with in the future. His activities on the National Security Council have given him an intimate knowledge of the highly classified measures that are required for the national security, and of the reasons for these decisions. Therefore, we submit that, on the basis of these extensive and numerous travels, on the basis of his exposure to policy formation and decisions on both national and international levels, Mr. Nixon's experience is anything but nil, as Mr. Krasa has indicated. For the sake of clarification and as a basis for comparison, perhaps Mr. Krasa would be gracious enough to inform us as to just what Mr. Kennedy's proved abilities are. (And may we ask that this reply be based on fact and not upon hasty generalizations.) (to be continued next week) Debators Prepare Topic The second meeting of the Debate Society was held last Tuesday in the organization's quarters, located in the rear of Barre Hall. New members of the society who attended the meeting, which was highlighted by a brief discussion of the national debate topic by the team advisor, Dr. Arthur Kruger, were Evelyn Frantz, Jim Garrahan, and Tom Halsted. Frank Riofski, president of the Debate Society, announced that the members of both the varsity and novice squads will be meeting regularly and collecting evidence for forthcoming debates. The novice t eam will participate in the Lehigh University debate clinic which will be held on October 29. Plans were made for the varsity team to attend the St. Joseph's and N.Y.U. "Hall of Fame" tournaments. In addition to the n ew members, Frank Riofski, Jerome Krasa, Bob Bombay, David Jaikes, and Frances Olack also attended the meeting. �Friday, October 7, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3 Colonels Host Cadets In Home Opener \ Fumbles, Weak Offense Hurl as Gridders Lose lo Moraviani 14- 2 - Bowling League Opens; Directors Reshuffle Unbalanced Rosters Last Sunday evening the Co-Ed Bowling League opened its rn60-61 season with a full complement of eight teams. Immediately several difficulties -arose which prompted the co-directors to set up new teams. There was a large turnout of newcomers and at the same time a number of people who had signed up for the league failed to appear at the first competition. Because so many new members were in attendance, the teams were hastily prepared and slightly unbalanced. The directors have announced that the league, with rev-amped teams, will start officially this Sunday. Because the team rosters have been changed, team scores and wins are not listed. High scores of the night were turned in by Bill Watkins with 563, Sam Book who rolled a 552, and Jerry Chisarick with 528. There are still several openings on a few teams and anyone interested in joining the league may do so by contacting Jerry Chisarick, Bob Hewitt, or Emil Petrasek. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Chuck Robbins Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods 28 North Main Street Tomorrow afternoon the Wilkes football team will face Pennsylvania Military College in the first of a two-game home stand. The Colonels will be out for their first victory against two defeats after having been defeated by the Greyhounds of Moravian College at Bethlehem, 14-2. Soccer coach Jim Ferris and captain Lou Zwiebel discuss strategy before tomorrow's game with Lafayette at 2 p,. m. in ,K irby Park. Rooters Host Lafayette; Ferrismen at Home After Dropping Three Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel hooters will host Lafayette College in a match in Kirby Park scheduled to begin at 2 -p .m. The Leopards have an experienced squad and are currently having one of their best seasons. Last year's meeting between the two teams saw Wilkes edged out, 3-2, in a closely fought contest. The Colonels will be strengthened by the return of outside left Clyde Roberts and right fullback Chuck Weiss, both of whom have been out with injuries. The Colonel hooters opened the season on a low note as they were defeated by the fledgling Susquehanna University t eam, 4-3, at Selinsgrove on September 28. The Ferrismen took a quick lead and held the edge, 3-0, at halftime but were held scoreless in the remainder of the match as the Crusaders scored four times to take the win. Team captain Lou Z w i e be 1 started the scoring midway in the first period by taking a pass from George Tensa and "chinning" the ball into the net. The combination of Tensa and Zwiebel scored again early in the second quarter when Tensa took a -p ass from Zwiebel and banged home the second score of the i.ame. The Colonels' last tally was scored late in the second quarter ' when Zwiebel stole a Crusader I pass and scored his second goal of i the game to give Wilkes a 3-0 lead. In the second half the Crusaders erupted with the "educated feet" of Fuller, Schneider, and Burns, who collected four goals for Susquehanna while their defense held the Colonels scoreless. Those offensive threats that the hooters were able to mount against the Crusaders were thwarted by offside penalties. Rider 14. Wilkes 0 Wilkes soccer suff ered the most severe defeat of its • history last Saturday as the team was overwhelmed by a strong Rider College team by a score of 14-0. The Roughriders were held scoreless by the Colonel defense throughout the first quarter but in the second frame their offensive line broke through and scored seven goals before the halftime whistle.

They have experience and depth, particularly in the quarterback slot with McElroy, Allen Brewster, and Al Filoreto. All other positions are filled with experienced men and Coach George Hansell has an adequate bench to back up the first line. Last Saturday the 'Hounds of Moravian came from behind in the second half of the last quarter to defeat the Colonel gridders in a game that featured fine defensive play but a weak offense on the part of Wilkes. The absence of offensive fullback Marv Antinnes was sorely felt as the gridders netted only 36 yards on the ground. It is not yet known when Antinnes will be able to return to the team. Statistically, Moravian overwhelmed the Colonels but for three periods the score read 2-0 with Wilkes out front. The lone tally came when Bernie Kosch tackled 'Hound quarterback John Williams in the end ,z one as he was trying to run the ball out after having fumbled an attempted punt. Moravian came on strong in the final period to score two touchdowns, the first one came on the first play of the quarter as Jim Frank went through the line from the Wilkes one to score. The final score of the game came with just four minutes remaining . Williams handed off to Jim Kelymen on the Moravian 48 and as he appeared to be hauled down by Colonel tacklers, broke through and went 52 yards for the touchdown. Both extra points were kicked by Edraney. The real picture of the game can be seen in the fumble figures, the Colonels fumbled the ball eight times, recovering it only once. Severa! times these fumbles came after substantial gains which could have led to first downs. Statistics of the Game w First downs 4 Passes 3-7 Yardage, passing 28 Yardage, rushing 36 Total offense 64 Passes, had intercepted 1 Punts 5-29 Fumbles lost 7-8 Penalties, yards 40 M 16 2-10 15 200 215 2 2-36 1-2 70 Krisulevicz Earns 'Beacon' Award; Stymies Moravian's Aerial Attack In the second half the hooters could not mount any offensivethreat, their efforts being concens trated in staving off the Rider offense, which scored seven more times in the second half. Leading the Rider attack was their cocaptain center forward, Ed Parrish, who was a member of the 1959, AllAmerica squad and who netted seven goals to lead in that department. Rider College, which does not have a football team, concentrates its fall sports activity on soccer and last year was ranked fourth in the nation. After last Saturday's crushing defeat of Wilkes, it appears that the men of Rider are well on their way as top contenders for national ranking again this year. Stevens Tech 4, Wilkes 0 In its home opener on Wednesday in Kirby Park, the soccer team suffered its third consecutive defeat since the start of the season as it was shut out by a strong squad from Stevens Tech by a score of 4-0. The Engineers scored twice in each of the first two periods but in the second half, the Colonel defense tightened up and prevented further scoring . The .game, which was witnessed by a small group of students, featured fine defensive play by Chuck Weiss, Frank Lepore, and Walt Prusakowski while Lou Zwiebel, Clyde Roberts, and Rudy Schoenfeld sparked the offense. . . .

Any students interested in 3-4128 these positions have been asked to contact Mr. Reese either today or Monday. GRAHAM'S 96 South VA hy Jim Fitser Stepping into the spotlight as the Beacon "Athlete" this week is Tom Krisulevicz, a junior majoring in secondary education and social studies. His strong defensive play against Moravian broke up several pass plays and prevented the 'Hounds from mounting a strong aerial attack. Offensively, he stepped into the vacancy at fullback created by Marv Antinnes' injury and carried the ball for 36 of the Colonels' 53 yards gained by rushing, leading the team in that department. His consistently fine defensive and offensive play prevented the Greyhounds from rolling up the 35-7 score that had been predicted by the sports editors of the Comenian, the Moravian College newspaper. A native of Larksville and a standout performer on the Larksville High School football team, h e had no difficulty in adjusting to collegiate competition and easily earned his letters in his freshman and sophomore years at Wilkes. �4 New Instructors Named In Physical Education, English Departments Majorettes Featured At Homecoming Two of this year's new faculty appointments are Anne V. Kish in the English Department and Doris Berdy in the Department of Physical Education. Mrs. Kish, a member of the 1953 graduating class at Wilkes, is presently working toward her master's degree.

Queen Beverly, in our estimation, is an ideal representative of a growing, young college attempting to achieve the peak of excellence. For she, herself, with her sparkling personality, fine qualities of leadership, high intelligence, and a burning desire to do well in anything she attempts, presents an outstanding impression of herself and of Wilkes College. Likewise, Princesses "Betsy" and Janice are also typical of o,u r young college. Both are hard workers in all forms of campus ac;;tivities. Both have shown a conscientious and willing spirit 1 in anything which they have been called upon to do. They add a great deal of charm and beauty to the royal court. .. We were delighted as well with all of the sixteen nominations. Certainly, any of the nominees could have been fine representatives for this occasion, as all possess royal qualities. 111111111111111t11x11xxx Dear Mr .Editor: . As_ of _today the student partic1pat10n m the United Fund Drive has r eached approximately 33 per cent of the student goal of $1200.00. To be sure, this is an excellent start. However, it also means that Wilkes students have another half mile, as it were, to go. This, too, can be accomplished. Thus far certain clubs, dormitories, and classes have made their contributions, in part, as they continue their solicitation of members. All other dormitories, classes, and clubs are urged to make their Uni~ed Fund returns as money is receIVed so that a daily progress ' report posted in the Commons can be accurate.

Roberts The whole job is certainly a credit to those responsible for Executive Alumni Secretary This is the third in a series of articles concerning some of the issues prevalent in the current presidential campaign. by Steve Robertson and Glen Beebe, Co-chairmen, "Students for Nixon - Lodge" (This article continued from Octobe~ 7, 1960 issue of the Beacon) Mr. Krasa said: "We need a man of Senator Kennedy's proven ability to initiate a program of action to restore American prestige to former great heights." What ability? Proved where and how? What program? Rep. Sam Rayburn (D.-Tex.), Speaker of the House of Representatives, said: "It's ectsy for someone to say 'I can lead a great cause, but untested we cannot put faith and confidence and our perpetuity in hands like that." (N.Y. Times, 7-14-60) Mr. Krasa said that it was wrong to say that Kennedy would have apologized for the U-2 incident but merely would have expressed regrets. I would like to answer this with the words of Senator Kennedy's running mate, Sen. Lyndon Johnson, who shouted to a Washington State Democratic Convention at Spokane: '1 am not prepared to apologize to Mr. Khrushchev-are you? I am not prepared to send regrets to Mr. Khrushchevare you? (N.Y. Times, 5-13-60) On July 2, 1957, Senator Kennedy declared before the Senate: "Algeria is no longer a problem for the French alone, nor will it even be again," and introduced a resolution to support "an international effort to derive for Algeria the basis for an orderly achievement of independence." The New York Times had this to say about Kennedy's resolution: "Perhaps the strongest criticism which can be made I of the Senator's (i.e., Kennedy's) is that he has run a strong risk of making the situation worse. . . . Moreover, the impression that the United States may try to mediate on behalf 01 the Algerian nationalists will surely stiffen their resistance against the French." (N.Y. Times, 7-3-57) · . Dean Acheson, Secretary of State in the Truman Administration, in a lecture in Medford, Mass., on October 25, 1957, declared: "Nothing could be more · injudicious than Kennedy's proposal, excepting making it." Mr. Acheson said that if it were followed, the United States would join the enemies of France within a year to force that nation to an American concept of proper conduct. (N.Y. Times, 10-26-57) Robert Lacoste, the French Minister for Algeria was shocked by Mr. Kennedy's demand for U.S. intervention in the Algerian revolt. (N.Y. Times, 7-3-57) France's defense minister suggested today that Senator Kennedy was encouraging Algerian rebels to prolong their bloody rebellion. "I don't know whether Mr. Kennedy has nights without its appearance. It is a near certainty that the college is to gain nightmares," said the Minister, Andre Morice. *** ;much praise and perhaps some new friendships because of the "What I know well is that this will result in a great increase u;npression of growth-scholastically and socially-which "The Dear Editor: I wish to extend my sincere ap· of innocent victims and the prolongation of a drama that would ,Alumnus" gives. preciation to the student body and have been long ended if so many of our unthinking friends had to th0 se of th e Junior Class who weighed their words on their acts.

Main St. Oh, how I hope this letter has Wilkes-Barre, Pa. brought a little cheer into your Tony's Parking Center • • •••••••••••••••••• • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) October 6, 1960 Dear Editor: A major point in Mr. Nixon's campaign speeches is a declaration that the issues before the country are bigger than any party; therefore, the citizenry should vote for the man, disregarding the party. While this argument may seem plausible at first hearing, examination reveals that it is tenuous. A party system is a fundamental part of our governmental framework. At the apex of this framework is the President, whose success depends upon his ability to work adroitly within the party s~ructure. Consequently, the parties of the respective candidates are of great importance, and must be considered in conjunction with their nominees. The ability of the two parties to produce strong national leaders and to respond to national problems deserves careful consideration and evaluation. The two parties, contrary to often heard opinions do ~ave major differences, especially m ,t he area of national leadership. In many instances the G.O.P. has simply failed to respond to national problems. Renublican Presidents have generally been weak. Lincoln was nominated because his party believed that he could be controlled. Soon after his death, Lincoln's humane and liberal reconstruction program was repudiated by the Republicans. Theodore Roosevelt became President by accident, and he was forced to form a third party to _seek a second elected term. Just this year, Nelson Rockefeller was frozen out of a chance for the G.O.P. Presidential nomination, because he was too liberal for the Republicans! Those controlling the Republican Party have consistantly desired "safe" candidates for public office and protection of status quo. Thei; desires have been fulfilled as the lack-~uster records of Grant, Hayes, Harr~son, Arthur, McKinley, Taft, Hardmg, Coolidge, Hoover and Eisenhower demonstrate. ' Unlike the G.O.P., the Democratic Party has shown that it is the party of action and imagination Wilson responded to the problem~ of a new industrial society with his "New Freedom." Franklin D. Roosevelt responded to the socioeconomic problems of the Great Depression with his New Deal. :rruman responded to the challengmg problems of internationalism with a sound program of economic and technical assistance to the wartorn and underdeveloped nations; he also fostered the establishment of the defense alliance system now protecting the non - Communist world. There are vital differences between the parties. This is why Mr. Nixon is on shaky ground when he urges the voters to disregard party labels and vote only for the man. Perhaps he is hoping that the public will forget the compplacency that has characterized his party for nearly a century. Citizens everywhere should realize the truth of James Reston's contention, "The great issue in this campaign is which man and which coalition of forces he can wield will be best able to deal with the changing problems of the world." History shows us that the "coalition of forces" led by Wilson, Roosevelt, and Truman has been most responsive to the challenges of the twentieth century. That coalition is the aggregation of political elements which constitutes the Democratic Party. Senator John F. Kennedy offers strong leadership for this coalition for the 1960's.

This surpasses the amount collected at this time last year, and is a good indication that the college's goal of $1200 will be reached. The clubs, dorms, and classes are separated into divisions and there will be an award given to the group and class who has contributed the largest amount to the drive. All contributions should be brought to the third floor of Chase Hall as soon as possible, or they can ·b e given to the student representative of each class: Al Kishel, freshman class; Brent O'Connell, sophomore class; Joe Shambe, junior class; Bill Morris, senior class. Two bulletin boards will be in the Commons. One shows the amount collected so far and the other shows the various divisions and how much they have donated. The drive ends on October 21, and we urge everyone who has money to hand in, especially those who sold tickets to the United Fund Dance, to do so immediately. Organizations that already have contributed to the United Fund are as follows: Biology Club, the Collegians, S.A.M., Education Club, Lettermen, Psychology - Sociology Club, Butler Hall, Freshman Dance committee, and the four individual classes.

Reese 194-531, I. Guetig 158-4.48, R. Seifert 172404 and R. Blisick 135-392. Because of the addition of the Butler Hall and faculty teams, new bowlers are needed to complete a ten team roster. Anyone interested has been asked to be at Jimmy's Central Lanes Sunday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. I For his stellar perfonnance in leading Wilkes to a 3-2 victory over Lafayette Lou Zwiebel was chosen recipient of the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" laurels. The speedy center forward scored one goal, set up another and led the Colonel offense throughout the contest. As this season is considered a year of rebuilding for the soccer squad, coach Jim Ferris has placed the bulk of the attack on the sboulders of Zwiebel. He responded in good fashion and the senior captain has been the leader of the team's offensive wall throughout the early part of the season. In the MAC contest against Lafayette, he displayed his soccer ability by dribbling and passing the ball through the Leopard backfield with little opposition. In the third quarter he took a pass from Jim Neddoff, carried it around the fullback and drove home the score with a left foot boot into the opposite corner of the net. In the final stanza he carried the ball through the entire Lafayette backfield a_nd set up Clyde Roberts for the wm-1 ning goal. The skill displayed by Zwiebel on the field cannot be fully appreciated until one stops to think that he never played the sport before coming to Wilkes. He has won his letters in soccer the past two years and last season led the team in individual scoring. A graduate of Meyers High School, he is majoring in Business Administration, is active in campus activities and is President of the Lettermen's Club. "TRESJOLI" is Ready to Serve You ...

M. Tyred Homecoming athletic activities will start early t omorrow morning when the Lycoming Warriors invade the Kirby Park soccer field to meet the Colonel soccermen. Gametime for the match has been moved forward to 9 :30 from 10:30, ithe time originally scheduled. Lycoming battled the Wilkes hooters to a 1-1 deadlock last year. This season the Warriors have essentially the same team back and a g ood game is anticipated. The only common foe on the schedules of the two teams is Susquehanna University. The Crusaders downed both squads, edging Wilkes, 4-3, while shutting out Lycoming, 4-0. The Colonel soccermen scored their initial victory of the season last Saturday afternoon as they downed a strong Lafayette College team, 3-2. The Blue and Gold legmen scored early in the contest when inside right Frank Lepore dented the net on a pass from Pete Eckert. This goal stood up throughout the first half as top defensive play by fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Irwin Guetig and goalie Bob Ontko drove off Leopard attempts to score. The Colonel boot ers scored again midway in the third period when halfback Jim Neddoff stole a pass from the Lafayette line and set up Lou Zwiebel for the second Wilkes goal. The Leopards came roaring back minutes later as McCarthy scored on a twelve-yard penalty kick. Throughout the remainder of the third quarter the defensive play of Bob Chew and Ted Toluba kept the ball deep in Lafayette territory but the Ferrismen were unable to score. The fourth quarter was evenly fought until late in the stanza when Lou Zwiebel dribbled the ball through the Leopard backfield and set up outside left Clyde Rob erts for the third Colonel score. Again the Leopards roared back and with but three minutes remaining in the contest, Bruden scored the last Lafayette goal. Lafayette tried to recover the ball again in a desperate attempt to tie the game but the aggressive play of the Colonel backfield and linemen Dick Duffy, Walt Prusakowski, Rudy Schoenfeld, George Tensa, and Lou Zwiebel kept the ball in Leopard territory. ·***********************~ . . .

M~H~$$~~$C$$~~~~ CITY SHOE REPAIR View from the Sidelines Another semester is upon us and the fall sports program has already swung into high gear before this column could make its first appearance. Football coach Francis Pinkowski and his assistant, Mike Dydo, have been working the team hard, developing a series of formations and plays all of which ·P inkowski says the opposition has not seen yet. The Colonels have been hit hard by Marv Antinnes' injury. His absence has forced Pinkowski to shif.t players about in an effort to mount a strong offense while maintaining the strong defensive line. The injury to halfback Jim Brunza's knee labels him a question mark as far as tomorrow's game is concerned. A testament to the gridders' line came from Moravian quarterback "Jabby" Williams. In private conversation following the 'Hounds victory over Wilkes, he stated that the Colonels have a very strong line and that Moravian had not expected such spirited resitance. The key to a successful season now seems to be in the avoidance of injuries and in Pinkowski's ability to develop a strong offensive attack out of the available material. Incidentally, as an added incentive to the gridders in tomorrow's game, Tom McHale of the Bostonian Shoe Department of The Hub has announced that he will give a pair of Bostonian shoes to the member of the team who makes the longest run against Ursinus. Soccer coach Jim Ferris has admitted that in soccer, 1960 will be a year of rebuilding. The hooters were hard hit by graduation last spring with the loss of Carl Havira, Joe Morgan, Lou Davis, George Gacha, Charles Billings, and Ron Simms. However, the team has come a long way since the start of the season and has greatly improved. We had our first opportunity to see the Ferrismen in action last week during the Stevens game. T·he principal weakness of the team appears to be a lack of cooperative teamwork. An overeagerness to get to the ball regardless of where it was and a failure to effectively cover the Tech linemen were the weak points of the Colonels. The s•p orts doubleheader which highlights tomorrow's Homecoming activities will provide the student body with chances to see both teams in action. Soccer gets underway at 9:30 and football at 2:00 p.m. One might be inclined to shrug off soccer on the grounds that he doesn't understand the game. It is simple, much simpler than football and its incessant huddles, time-out periods, and accompanying headgear and armor. The object is to place ,t he ball in the opponents' goal in any possible way; with head, foot, knee, chin, kicking it, but without deliberately picking up the ball and throwing it, the goalie being .the only member of the team who may handle the ball. We hope that as many as possible will attend the games tomorrow. Athletics at Wilkes needs a definite boost from the student body. There can be no incentive to win unless the teams feel that ,t he student body is interested in them and can be assured of its support. agreement of both team captains. Makeup dates for postponed games will be November 15, 16, and 17, with the championship on November 21 between the top team in each league.

This is the B-52. Advanced as it may be, this airplane has one thing in common with the first wargalleys of ancient Egypt ... and with the air and space ve hicles of the future. Someone must chart its course. Someone must navigate it. For certain young men this presents a career of real executive opportunity. Here, perhaps you will have the chance to master a profession full of meaning, excitement and rewards ... as a N avigator in the U.S. Air Force. To qualify for Navigator training as an Aviation Cadet you must be an American citizen between 19 and 26½-single, healthy and intelligent. A high school diplom a is required, but some college is highly desirable. Successful completion of the training program leads to a commission as a Second Lieutenant ... and your Navigator wings.

I Jaycees Aiding Campus • • IPolitical Groups: C WaSh AlSO Planned . ar I by Neil Castagnaro The Jaycees announced this week the start of their Get Out and Vote campaign. The purpose behind this movement is to stimulate interest among students and residents of the surrounding community in the forthcoming presidential elections. The Jaycees will be working in conjunction with the Students for Nixon and Kennedy groups on campus and also with the Beacon. William Van Fossen is chairman of this campaign.

The tentative date for the car wash is October 22nd at the Richfield gas station on East Market Street from 9 :00 a .m. to 4:00 p.m. Donations will be accepted at this time. Proceeds will be used to finance the various service projects which will be sponsored by the Jaycees for the benefit of community and college. An organizational meeting was held last Wednesday evening at the Sterling Hotel. It was sponsored by the Junior Chamber of -Commerce. At that time the membership of both the Wilkes College Jaycees and the Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce were oriented as to the significance and type of work that faces them. Manuscript Readies Artistic Film Program, New Student Conte~t At this year's first meeting of the Manuscript Association, held last Tuesday, Kurt Roberts, editor, introduced the club's new advisor, Dr. Philip Rizzo, to the group. The membership discussed activities to be sponsored by the Association this year. Tentative plans were made to continue the Manuscript Film Society's program of presenting films of literary and artistic interest during the year. The members also decided to consider a plan to sponsor a series of contests which would offer awards to the students whose contributions to the "Manuscript" are judged most outstanding by the editorial board in each of four categories: poetry, fiction, exposition, and art. These contests will be open to all students, and procedure for entering will be announced when plans are completed. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 16, at 11 :00 in Pickering 202. All members and those interested in becoming members are asked to attend since the editorial board will consider the appointment of members to staff offices.

Eichelberger, Executive Director of the American Association for the United Nations, will speak at Tuesday's assembly.

Mayor Frank Slattery, in proclaiming October 23 through 29 as United Nations Week, locally, explained that the importance of the U.N. cannot be minimized. : Two years ago, Eichelberger, drawing on years of public service as a statesman, author, and world traveler, delighted our assembly with his warm Illinoisian humor and easy manner. As National Director and Chairman of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, Mr. Eichelberger served the nation and the world. Eichelberger materially assisted the preparation of the American draft of the Charter of the United Nations in his capacity as Consultant to the Department of State during World War II. Later, in 1945, at the San Francisco Convention, Mr. Eichelberger aided the U .S. delegation which helped •p repare the Charter of the United Nations. Eichelberger will discuss some of the problems now facing ,t he United Nations, in rapid-fire succession on Monday and Tuesday, to audiences at the Hotel Sterling, the Jewish Community Center, the Rotary Club, and the Wilkes assembly. by Patricia Boyle The Institute of International Education has announced that November 1 is the deadline for accepting applications for Fulbright scholarships and InterAmerican Cultural Convention awards.

I I Beggars Welcome at Paupers' Swing Tonight Nation~] Poetry Contest Open to Students �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 21, 1960 EDITORIAL- A Memorable Weekend Last week's Homecoming festivities were certainly a credit to all, students and administration alike, who worked so diligently for its success. Special mention must also be made of the fine weather which greeted the beginning of the weekend and continued through Sunday. The weather added immensely to the colorful Homecoming pageantry-the student displays, the soccer game, the crowning ceremonies, and the football game. As expected, Queen Beverly and Princesses Betsy and Jan gave each activity which they attended a refreshing touch of royal beauty. The Undergraduate Dinner-Dance was, as last year, attended by a capacity crowd. All seemed especially exuberant over the singing of Dean Ralston and the Collegians. From the alumni view point, the week-end seemed to be the best ever. The Warm-Up party was held at the Carousel Motel for the first time, and many remarks were heard concerning the pleasant atmosphere which prevailed. The weekend concluded with the Alumni Dance at the !rem Temple Country Club. As in the past, this affair was well attended. We certainly enjoyed seeing many friends and renewing acquaintances at the dance. Special commendation should go to Gordon Roberts, Executive Alumni Secretary, and Bill Davis, Homecoming Chairman,. for their fine efforts in bringing about a successful Homecoming.

XXXXXIIXXXXXIXXXIXXIXIXJ To the Members of the Student Body: This letter, unfortunately, will be published at th e end of the 1960 Freshman Orientation Program. Lt is not being published in time to put an end to the injustices of this program, but we hope that it will act as a catalyst, to speed up a long-overdue r eappraisal and r econstruction of Freshman Orientation . . The purpose of orientation is astonishingly simple : it is designed to help the incoming freshmen adj ust to a new way of life so that the years he will spend at colleg e will be rewarding ones. A s a result of ,t he weakness of the present program, thoug htless or misguided upperclassmen a re permitted to r elease their near-sadistic tendencies or to compensate for th eir feelings of inferiority by taking advantage of ,t he naive and inexperienced freshmen. If the purpose of the program is to help th e freshmen adjust, bravo! This is a fine and noble task to w hich the upp erclassman must apply himself arduously and maturely. But if, in reality, there is an ab erration, a deviation from the normal course and purpose of the program, the intelligent observer or par ticipant in such a program must, in accordance with his rationality and reason, shun such a falsifi ed and ignoble pr ogram a s arduously as we work ed for the fine and noble. But, you sa y, what are the injustices of which I am speaking? When the incoming freshman arrives at Wilkes College, he is bombarded by a w eek of welcoming speeches, teas, dinners, a nd parties. During this week, life for him is relatively easy and fre e from stress; he is handled with kid gloves . But as he wakes to begin his first day of classes, the ,t reatm ent of the previous week abruptly comes to an end. Not only must he contend with the trying a nd sometimes fru strating problem of academic adjustment, but he must also accomplish this while under the additional inconvenience of generally being subservient and pandering to requests of the most ridiculous and humiliating nature. If we examine the situation carefully at this point, we will see one of the more illogical and unjust deviations of the program. We refer to the inequality and imbalance of it. The day student, who continues to life in an atmosphere which does not facilitate speedy adjustment to his new educational environment, is left relatively untouched and unassimilated, while the dormitory student, who is constantly surrounded by students with whom he lives, is made to bear the greater effects of upperclassman maliciousness. In the dormitories, the freshman's burdens are compounded. Ther e, he must study in between answering phones, shining shoes, going out for food, scrubbing stairs with a toothbrush, and otherwise catering to the whims of his sup eriors. The dormitory freshman, further more, is subjected to acts so crude and barbaric in nature that many of them defy description in a n ewspaper. It might here be advantageous to enumerate some of the less barbaric practices which are performed on Dormitory Hell Night: Subjection to physical mistreatment as exemplified by paddling and the application of heat and pain-producing ointm ents to the body. Subjection to processes which amount to brainwashing. Subjection to the willful destruction of personal property. Subjection to acute and unnecessary servitude and humiliation. Subjection to situations of dangerous and traumatic effect. Subjection to mild physical disfigurement, e.g., the shaving of W's and the dying of hair. You say, "Well, the great majority of dormitory freshmen come (continued on page 4) This is the fourth in a series of articles concerning some of the issues prevalent in the current presidential cainpaign. by Jerome Krasa, Chairman, "Students for Kennedy-Johnson" It is necessary at this time to correct the misleading statements which were presented in this column for the last two weeks. Much that was presented was not the truth. Regardless of what may be said about the kitchen debate, the fact remains that the Vice-President admitted to the world that the United States was behind the Russians in certain areas of scientific rocket development. (N.Y. Times, 7-25-59) A well known and undisputed fact of the constitutional law of any nation is that, should a Prime Minister and his cabinet be forced to resign, his government is said to have fallen. This remains true if his party stays in power or not. Before making his trip to South America, Mr. Nixon was warned by our State Department that trouble was brewing there. He was stoned as a symbol of adverse reactions to GOP policies in this area. These riots were "Communist inspired" only because Eisenhower policies toward Latin America provide a fertile bed for Communist infiltration. Walter Lippman, the noted columnist, wrote that "those who are responsible for the management of our relations with South America must answer to the charge of gross incompetence." Although it is true that a large crowd turned out at Washington's National Airport to welcome Nixon home from South America, they came to pay their respect to the office of the United States Vice-Presidency which had never, under any administration, been so humiliated and degraded in the eyes of the world. It is interesting to note that many points of my previous article were not even considered. It was not denied that only the Democratic Party cared enough about our foreign policy to make use of the best brains the Republican Party had to offer, and that the Republicans have disregarded this element of bipartisanship. It was not denied that the Eisenhower policy of tying economic aid to acceptance of military bases has caused many nations to join the neutralist camp. The Kishi Government <lid fall, along with the friendly governments of other nations. World opinion toward us is deteriorating. Every year we find fewer nations supporting our fight to keep Red China out of the United Nations . . The 22 nations who abstained this year were more than enough to have turned the close vote against us . It was not denied that Cuba is now a member of the Communist camp. Our prestige in South America has slipped so far that the new president of Brazil had to curry favor with Castro in order to win the election. These items were not even mentioned in the last two weeks for even twice as much space cannot deny the facts. In consideration of Nixon's experience, we find that his past record is incompatible with the claims of experience now being put forth in his behalf. In 1947, Nixon was a member of the GOP · 80th Congress which disregarded President Truman's request for aid to Korea. In 1949, Nixon cast the deciding vote which killed the Korean aid bill only 5 months before the Communist attack. Three months before this attack, Nixon was absent and unrecorded on passage of a bill for 100 billion dollars in military aid to Korea. He voted to cut initial military aid to our European allies by 50 per cent. (8-18-49) He voted to place a four division limit on U. S. troops in Europe. He was absent and unrecorded on the Point Four Program of technical assistance. (3-31-50) He followed the GOP "restrictionist" line in the fight for reciprocal trade. That was his foreign policy record. Merely to have travelled to many countries is no evidence of an understanding of the problems of these countries. Columnist James Reston commented as follows, "Senator Kennedy has probably been a deeper student of foreign affairs for longer than the Vice-President." (N.Y. Times, 8-2-60) Evidence of this comes when we consider the record of Senator Kennedy. Despite what anyone may have said to r epudiate Senator Kennedy at the time of his Algerian speech in 1957, the fact remains that Charles DeGaulle presently is seeking a solution to the Algerian problem along the moderate lines laid down by John Kennedy. A member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chairman of the sub-committee on Africa, member of the Far East and Disarmament Sub-committees, Senator Kennedy recognizes and understands the problems of the world. In 1959, he co-sponsored a resolution which would establish an international free world mission to explore the long range foreign exchange needs of India and Pakistan. His proposals on India, such as the Kennedy-Cooper Resolution, his support throughout his terms in Congress of the Point Four Program, and his efforts to shift the emphasis of our foreign policy aid program away from a purely military basis are recognized as integral features of the realistic approach to foreign policy needed in the '60's. In 1958 and 1959, Senator Kennedy was joined by Senator Aiken in leading the attempt to drive a wedge between Moscow and her satellite nations by use of U. S. aid at the discretion of the President through an amendment of the Battle Act. He was one of the original co-sponsors of the Food-for-Peace Act which would greatly expand America's ability to meet the food and development requirements of needy nations. He co-sponsored the development of a 5-Year Development Loan Program as part of the Mutual Security Act. His views have won acceptance in such publications as Foreign Affairs (10-57), The Reporter (9-18-58), The Progressive (1-58), and The New York Times Magazine (7-8-54) to name only a few . His book "Why England Slept", a best seller published in 1940, was an acute analysis of public thought in England before World War II.

Both squads have a small nucleus of returning veterans but are faced with the identical problem of having to use inexperienced men on the starting lineup. This contest should be one of the best matched games on the schedule. .. Last year the two teams battled to a 1-1 tie in a muddy Wilkes Homecoming match. In the Homecoming contest last Saturday, the Colonel hooters were defeated by a spirited Lycoming College squad, 4-0. The team seemed to lack the spirit and drive that has kept Wilkes soccer at a high level. The Warriors started fast by stealing the ball from the Colonels early in the first period and promptly setting up Fred Feigley for their first goal. The hooters fought back throughout the quarter with Frank Lepore and Walt Prusakowski leading the way. Only the topnotch play of goalie Bob Ontko kept the Warriors from scoring again. Lou Zwiebel set up several scoring opportunities but there was a lack of a "big foot" to dent the net. (Photo by Y oblonski) Colonel outside left Clyde Roberts, in striped shirt, and an unidentified Lycoming defender collide in an effort to gain possession of the ball during Saturday's Homecoming game. "COKE" IS A RCQlSTEREO TRADE • MARK , COPYRIGH T 19S8 THE COCA• COLA COM,.ANY. Dear Diary... As I take my pen in hand, I take my bottle of Coke in the other hand! Yes, dear diary, where would I be without Coca-Cola? Just a social outcast. Why, everybody drinks Coke! John and Bill and Barry and Charley, Horace too. Confidentially, I think I'll have another bottle of Coke. Outstanding defensive play by both backfields highlighted the second period until a bad kick by a Colonel defender put the ball in front of the Wilkes net from where Travis banged it home for Lycoming's second goal. Lycoming struck again early in the third stanza for their third score when Mike Burr headed the ball into the net on a corner kick. The Colonels kept the ball deep in Warrior territory for most of the r emaining time in the quarter but failed to score. They came as close as possible when the ball settled on the goal line but although several linemen had a kick at it, the ball eluded their efforts and their biggest opportunity was lost when a Lycoming defender booted it out of scoring territory. The Colonels kept the pressure on the Warrior goalie throughout the first half of the last stanza but still lacked that "little extra" needed to score. When the Ferrist men began to fade with the final minutes ticking away, the Warriors reversed the situation and applied the offensive pressure on John Adams, the Wilkes goalie. Adams stood up against the sudden offense and robbed Lycoming of three goals with difficult saves but Travis hit the net for the second time in the day and gave the Warriors a 4-0 victory over Wilkes. Pinbusters, Alley Cats Tie for First Place; Watkins' 211 Sets Pace In last Sunday's intramural bowling competition the Alley Cats entered a first place tie with the Pinbusters by virtue of their,· 3-1 win over the Tornados. The Pinbusters split with the Scre"W;balls, winning the first two games only to lose the series by one pin. The Gutterdusters slipped to ,t hird place after managing to tie their first game with the Boozers. The only 4-0 shutout of the night was turned in by the Ebonites as they romped over the Playboys, giving the Ebonites a firm hold on second place. Mike Dydo, assistant football coach displayed fine form as he turned in a 381 total for two games and a league high average of 190 in the Boozers 3½-½ defeat of the Gutterdusters. Ebonites 4, Playboys 0 Behind Dave Sokira's 183-515 the Ebonites fought their way to a clean sweep over the Playboys. Bill Watkins' 211-528 was high for the Playboys. Ebonites: Sokira 183-515, 'fony Doknovitch 161-430, Bob Schechter 152-404, Steve Klein, 151-368, Elva Chernow 149-362.

Boozers 3 ½, Gutterdusters ½ The score closest to a clean sweep without actually going all the way was turned in by the Boozers as they and the Gutterdusters tied their first game before the Boozers took control of the situation and HUNTERS BOW Drink ~~ BE REALLY REFRESHED ARCHERY HEADQUARTERS For All TOP NAME Equipment In Stock WILKES REVERSIBLE JACKETS KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 141 Wood Street The football team travels to Williamsport tomorrow to take on the Warriors of Lycoming College in an effort to pick up their first win of the season and to try to rid themselve,s of the seeming inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities., The Colonels were defeated, 13-0, in last year's contest between the two teams and their record against Lycoming stands at one win and five losses. The Warriors have essentially the same team as they had last year, having lost only three men through graduation. Their record so far this fall is one win and three losses, having picked up their first victory last Saturday as they downed Edinboro State College, 12-6. The gridders lost their fourth consecutive game of the season Saturday as they were defeated by Ursinus, 12-7, before a large Homecoming Day crowd in Kingston High School stadium. The game was highlighted by the Bears' left halfback Ron Ritz's 82 yard scoring return of the Colonels' second half opening kickoff to give Ursinus a 12-7 lead and all the scoring that was then needed to win. Wilkes' first opportunity came early in the first quarter when Al Dobrowalski's punt was fumbled by Ursinus on their 33, where it was recovered by Tom Krisulevicz. The scoring chance faded shortly thereafter as the Colonels gained only four yards to the 29 where the Bears took over on downs. Minutes later Krisulevicz intercepted a Ursinus pass and returned it to the 50, from where the Colonels marched to the Bears' five before again losing the ball on downs. Marv Antinnes, who had returned to the lineup after recovering from his shoulder injury, and Tom Krisulevicz did the bulk of the ballcarrying on this futile drive. The gridders' defensive wall held and Ursinus was forced to punt, with Krisulevicz returning it to his own 49. With Antinnes and Krisulevicz again carrying the ball, the team moved to the Ursinus one, from where Antinnes scored through a hole in the Bears' left tackle slot. Quarterback Paul Aquilino added the point after touchdown with a boot between the uprights. Wilkes led, 7-0. Ursinus came roaring back to the Wilkes 46 but were forced to punt. Again the Colonels started to move but a fumble gave the Bears possession of the ball on the Wilkes 36. Emmert, the Bears' quarterback, took to the air and hit Leatherman with a pass on the ten. Leatherman then carried the ball five more yards b e f o re he was brought down. Two plays later Emmert completed a pass to Allenback in the end zone for the Bears' first score. Wilkes led, 7-6. The second half started fast with Ritz' runback of the opening kickoff which gave Ursinus a 12-7 lead and all the scoring necessary to win the game. Statistically the Cplonels led by piling up thirteen 'first downs to six for the Bears. They outgained Ursinus on the ground, mostly on the running of Antinnes and Krisulevicz. Jerry Mohn was not the only member of the team to gain ECAC recognition for his outstanding play in the game as fullback Marv Antinnes received honorable mention from the conference in its weekly poll of press observers. Antinnes won the pair of Bostonian shoes which Tom MacHale of the Bostonian Shoe Department of The RUB had offered to the member of the team who made the longest run against Ursinus.

Rickover at Teachers' Meeting by Wayne Thomas The inferiority of American schools as compared to European and Russian systems was the important theme of a talk given by Vice-Admiral Hyman G. Rickover at the ninetieth annual Education Meeting of the Luzerne County Teachers yesterday morning in Coughlin High School auditorium. "Criticism - Why?" was the title of the admiral's message in which he stated that our country is in danger of being taken over by an adversary of a better educational Vice-Admiral H. G. Rickover system because our educators are resisting criticism. He said that the public is biased against the critic because individuals themselves do not ·want to be criticized. Admiral Rickover stated that all reform has always been .sparked by criticism. In comparing our school system with that of Russia, Rickover pointed out the fallacy of the belief that the Russians devote more time to the sciences in their schools aµd neglect the humanities. The fact is, he stated, that the Russian school system devotes more time to BEARDS FOR NOVEMBER 11 STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES· COUEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Town and Gown Series Presents Concert Tenor The greater part of Mr. Patton's recital performances have been in the mid-West with the Minneapolis Pops Symphony Orchestra, at the Little Theatre of Cafe Espresso, · and at the Minneapolis College of Music. Concert tenors are always in short supply, and in his debut recital the following revue remarks were made: "His tone is even and clear . . . good range . . . consistency of timbre . . . interpretive imagination." At the present time Mr. Patton is studying in New York City at the Manhattan School of Music, and before this year studied in Rochester, New York. The program will cover a wide range of works from the vocal literature, including works of Moneverdi, Bach, Schubert, and Warlock. Mr. Booth will .p erform a group of solo piano works. The public is cordially invited to attend without charge. MEN: GROW THOSE both the sciences and the humanities than does the American system. He also said that greater achievement is expected from a graduate of the Russian ten-year system than that expected from a graduate of our twelve-year schools. Rickover also challenged the argument that many Russian school chil°dren do not complete their education by quoting the fact that in 1957, only 58 per cent of American fifth grade school children completed their high school training. In comparing our system with European schools he said that 3 / 4 of the students in Europe who go on to higher education receive state support. He also said that the ability of the individual European student in foreign languages is superior to that of the American student. Rickover also criticized our methods of school administration when he said that administrators often make decisions about such matters as school building construction and curricula without consulting the teachers who have the greatest amount of knowledge in, this area. He said that Americans 1 regard the clerical aspect and the "housekeeping" of education more highly than the actual teaching. Admiral Rickover also com. mented on the status of the American teacher as compared with the teacher in Russia or in Europe. He said that the teaching profession outside the United States is respected much more than it is in our country. A d m i r a 1 Rickover graduated from the Naval Academy in 1922 and received his master's degree in electrical engineering from Columbia in 1929. He was assigned to the Bureau of Ships for the greater part of World War II and in 1945 he was named to the staff of the Commander, Service Force, Pacific Fleet, following which he became Industrial Manager at Okinawa. He was later assigned to the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and for his work there he (continued on page 3) FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1960 No~ce Debat~rs Meet at Students to Participate in Mock Les high; Ya rsity Obpens Election at Next Assembly Program eason m 0ecem er b y Doug K eat·mg "' byBob Bomboy The Wilkes College Debate Society will prelude this year's forensic competition by entering Lehigh University's Novice Debate Tournament at Bethlehem. The novice debaters are: David Jaikes and Frances Olack, affirmative; James Garrahan and Robert Bomboy, negative. Teams representing most of the colleges and universities of the eastern seaboard will participate in the tournament. A novice debater is one who has never debated in intercollegiate forensic competition. Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, the Society's faculty advisor and one of the top debate coaches in the United States, explained that tomorrow's debate will be for purposes of instruction; the contest will not be officially judged. Also journeying to Bethlehem will be Frank Riofski, president of the Society, and the following varsity debaters: Jerry Krasa, a junior majoring in political science; Brent O'Connell, a sophomore science education major; and Barry O'Connell, sophomore engineering major. President Riofski announced that the varsity team will open its campaign in December by attending the St. Joseph's Invitation Tournament at St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia. Cat's Meow Offers Halloween Then1e by Sandy Biber All the cats are meowing about the senior class dance which will be held in their honor Friday night at the Wil:kes College gymnasium. The felines will gather there at 9 p.m. and purr to the music of the Bill Jerome Quintet. The cats will be admitted free to the dance. All other creatures must pay fifty cents. A Jack-o'-Lantern contest will be held at intermission. Humans attending the dance may bring a pumpkin carved as grotesquely as possible. The creator of the most frightful lantern will receive a Halloween surprise. Cider , and doughnuts will be served as a tonic to those timid souls who may be frightened by the decorations. However, if you are the type of -p erson who thrives on horror and have your own skelet,;m in the hall closet, you, too, may support the senior class by buying as much cider as your ghoulish souls desire. Mr. and Mrs. Cromwell Thomas and Mr. Welton Farrar will chaperone the dance and also supply smelling salts to the dancers. The senior class hopes that all who wish to have a memorable haunted Halloween will shiver along to the Cat's Meow. ATTENTION SENIORS! A member of the "Amnicola" staff will be downstairs in the cafeteria every morning next week to make appointments for senior pictures to be taken by Ace Hoffman Studios, West Market Street. Appointments will be available from 9 through 11 o'clock daily begin• ning on Monday. Sitting will take approximately fifteen m i n u t e s. Please make your ap-p ointments as soon as possible. Th e coming election will provide the theme for the next assembly program to be held in the gym on Thursday at eleven o'clock. Tentative plans have been made for a debate on the campaign issues. Steve Robertson and Glenn Beebe, president and vice-president, respectively, of the campus Students for Nixon and Lodge organization, will present the Republican side of the issues. As of yet no one has been chosen to offer the Demoerotic viewpoint. Students Raise $1154.24 Toward United Fund; Freshmen Lead Donors by Cynthia Hagley The student body came within $45.76 of their $1200 goal in this United Fund campaign. Final reports gave a total of $1,154.24. Final contributions included donations from all classes, dormitories,, and a total of eighteen extra-curricular activities. Eight more organizations contributed to the United Fund since last week's totals were presented in the Beacon. The classes improved their contributions over last week from six per cent to thirty-two per cent. Certificates will be presented to individual organizations in the near future. Awards given in Divisions "A", "B", and "C" will be based on per capita. That is the award will be presented to the team in each division which makes the greatest contribution per person to the drive. In Division "D" the award will be presented on the basis of the largest contribution, regardless of the size of the club. The contributions are as follows: Division "A" Ashley Hall 18.05 Barre Hall 25.00 Butler Hall 90.69 Gore Hall 36.00 Hollenback Hall 14.00 Warner Hall 22.00 Division "B" Catlin Hall 8.50 Chapman Hall 17.00 McClintock Hall 16.00 Sterling Hall 10.00 W eckesser Hall 10.00 Weiss Hall 22.65 Division "C" Senior Class 83.50 Junior Class 97.78 Sophomore Class 102.00 Freshman Class 168.00 Division "D" Accounting Club 5.00 Beacon 20.00 Biology Club 50.00 C.C.U.N. 5.00 Chemistry Club 5.00 Cue 'n' Curtain 10.00 Collegians 10.00 Economics Club 5.00 Education Club 5.00 Girls' Chorus 5.00 Jaycees 10.00 Lettermen's Club 25.00 PsycvhologySociology Club 5.00 Radio Club 3.00 Retailing Club 5.00 S.A.M. . 5.00 Student Government 25.00 Division "E" Freshman Class United Fund Dance 177.70 Miscellaneous 27.37 Vincent O'Karma, -p resident of the Urban Development Association, will discuss the bond issue on which residents of Wilkes-Barre will vote on November 8.

The I.C.G. will conduct a mock election which will decide which presidential and vice-presidential candidates are favored by the students. Each student will find a ballot sheet on his assembly seat. The ballots will be so arranged that students will be able to vote for either of the presidential nominees and either of the vice-presidential nominees. It will be possible, therefore, for students to cross party lines in their selections. Members of the I.C.G. will tally the ballots and the results will be published in next week's Beacon.

Jvy-COVered Walls One of the beautiful features of a campus is that of ivy spreading itself over college buildings. We have many halls which fit in this category. The question may be asked, however, are we allowing the ivy to cover us? As time and ivy move over our college, so does the need for adjustment to twentieth century progress. The administration has emphasized progress in many facets of college life. One segment of college life has gained the attention of other institutions, and might be food for thought at our college. This is the gradual equalization of regulations between men and women's dormitories. At the University of Kansas, a Privilege Plan for senior women has been inaugurated. This plan entitles any senior woman with 80 hours and 90 grade points, and written permission from her parents, to check out a dormitory key permitting her to come in after closing hours. The success of the plan will be reviewed after a one semester trial and the advisability of making the program a permanent one will be considered at that time. Certainly, a program of this type involves the concord of all dormitory women with the administration. It should be based on the maturity and proven ability of the women students of the school. The success or failure of the program at Kansas will be observed by colleges and universities across the nation.-C.A.H. It's Yours -- To Read and Share For the past several weeks it has been noticed that a large number of copies of the Beacon have been unnecessarily going to waste because many students, after glancing briefly at the paper, discard it even before leaving the campus on Friday afternoon. It should be pointed out here that the Beacon prints 1500 copies weekly at the rate of approximately eleven cents per copy. The expense of producing a sufficient number of copies for distribution is passed along to the student through his tuition charges and therefore it is up to the individual student to make good use of his investment. The business staff of the Bea.con takes great pains to insure that there will be a sufficient number of copies for all students. It is hoped that students will share their copies of the paper with their family and friends outside the college in the future instead of carelessly discarding their copy within a few hours after the Beacon is released on campus. W.W.T. Education Club Visits Service Center; Plans Field Trip to Industrial School by Pat Rossi Members of the Education Club are planning a field trip to the KisLyn Industrial School next Tuesday. About 60 students will tour the school to note the various methods of instruction and the educational set-up. The group will leave from Wilkes at 12:45 and will travel in cars to the Kis-Lyn School. Senior members of the club will receive preference. Last Tuesday, October 25, other students from the Education Club visited the Wyoming Valley Children's Service Center on Franklin Street. They toured the building and observed the educational procedures used in training the children. This visit proved to be very informative and interesting. Officers of the Education Club are: Bob Amey, president; Joan Leggetts, vice - president; Peggy Churchill, secretary; Sally Price, treasurer. Miss Roderick and Dr. Hammer are the club advisors. -WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Dear Editor: Why is the school spirit at Wilkes at such a low ebb? Why aren't the students taking an active part in supporting their teams? A justification cannot be found for the lack of enthusiasm shown by the students. Is our college one of the many that must have championship teams before they get behind them? Remember it's much harder to support a losing team. A losing team needs the cheers and shouts of a cr owd, much more than does a championship team. You have a fine organization on campus which is trying to instill some vim and vigor into the crowds at the games. But they can't do it alone, they need your help. So as they say, "get with it," fill up those empty bleachers, and cheer our team on to victory. The Spirit of Wilkes *** Dear Mr. Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all people who participated in the organization of Homecoming Weekend. In my opinion, this year's Homecoming was very carefully -p lanned and executed in all of its many phases. The car caravan and the bonfire on Friday night were very well attended. The spirit evinced at the football game on Saturday did credit to the work of the School Spirit Committee, the cheerleaders, the band, the kickline, and the newly organized twirlers. The Undergraduate Dinner Dance on Saturday night was well attended, as was the Alumni Dance at the Country Club. I would like to extend a special thanks to Bill Davis, Homecoming chairman, for the wonderful job he did in coordinating the various activities, and to Jay Olexy and his Beacon staff for their moral support throughout the weekend. I was proud to be a part of the weekend, and I will remember it for many years to come. Sincerely, Beverly Major * * * Dear Mrs. Slattery: On behalf of the Wilkes College Chemistry Club I would like to thank you for your offer of the use of your power supply for our homecoming display.

(continued on page 3) I Friday, October 28, 1960 Presenting The Issues (REPUBLICAN) (DEMOCRAT) by Steve Robertson, Glenn Beebe The Eisenhower administration and the Republican Party in general have been accused time and time again of being against social legislation such as: Social Security, Medical care for the aged, and workmen's compensation. "Let's look at the record." Social Security was expanded to cover an additional twelve million people. Unemployment insurance was extended to an additional six million three hundred thousand people. The Administration made it possible for hundreds of thousands of mothers to deduct the cost of child care during working hours. The Federal Government alloted a total of three billion five hundred million dollars to public health. Eighteen million families now take larger medical expense deductions on their income tax. Fifty million more Americans are covered by medical and hospital insurance. All this from a Republican Administration that isn't supposed to care. As Mr. Nixon has said, "We are not going to stand on this record, we are going to build on it." (Saturday Evening Post, 10-8-60, p. 113) American education will be no better and no worse than the individual American wants it to be. This r esponsibility cannot be passed by the people to Washington, it must be undertaken in the school room, in the P.T.A., and in the local school board. We need higher teachers' salaries and more classrooms desperately. No one is more aware of these problems than Richard Nixon. "Let's take a look at the record." Under the Republican Administration new classrooms have been added to our schools at the rate of sixty thousand a yearthree times the rate of the previous administration. The Federal Government provided an additional $899 million to colleges and universities an d federal research grants direct to schools and students totaled over $430 million dollars. The Republican Administration has done all of this without federal control, without interfering with the right of the local school boards to set the standards for the education of their children. Mr. Nixon, when elected, will initiate legislation to provide funds for the construction of urgently needed new schools. These appropriations will free the funds of local school districts so that they may be used to raise teachers' salaries. The Democrats, on the other hand, propose legislation which would give the state the funds. The state would then allot these funds to the local school boards. The funds would then be used for either teachers' salaries or the construction of schools. Nevertheless, we must not lose sight of the fact that these funds are Federal funds. There is not a single case on record of Federal spending without Federal control. Under the Democrats' proposal, the funds would be . allotted according to ,Population. This means that concentrated areas, which invariably have the best schools and the highest teachers' salaries, would get the greatest share of the funds. The Republicans, however, will allot these funds to the areas of greatest need rural and suburban areas where the need is great and the tax income is low. Vice-President Nixon wants higher teachers' salaries and better schools just as much, if not more, than Senator Kennedy. However, he wants this to be accomplished in the American way, without Federal control or restriction, thus preserving the right of the American people to decide how their children should be educated. Much has been made of the fact that President Eisenhower vetoed the Democrat depressed areas bill. As would be expected, his reasons for doing this have never been mentioned by the Democrats. We feel that these reasons, based wholly on fact, completely vindicate the President's judgement in this matter. (continued on page 6) by Frances Olack, Jerome Krasa At this time we will present the truth concerning the following three facets of domestic policy: depressed areas legislation; federal aid to education; and medical care for the aged. Republicans concede the need for depressed areas legislation. The Republican inconsistency between word and deed is evident when we see that twice in the -p ast two years the Republican President has vetoed depressed areas legislation passed by a Democratic Congress. Senator Kennedy led the floor fight in the Senate in 1958 for this legislation. When contacted earlier this week, Congressman Daniel J. Flood, cosponso:r of the depressed areas bill, had this comment to make concerning this legislation: "The Republican leadership has been against this kind of legislation and principle from the ·b eginning. They consider it socialistic, un-American, and unnecessary. Only the violent reaction from the people in the depressed areas, Republicans and Democrats, caused them to belatedly change their minds by offering a totally inadequate substitute, in keeping with the very best Republican tradition. The Republican statement concerning the superiority of their bill is a sham and a fraud. The Republican bills are authorization bills and not appropriation bills. No allocation of funds to any area could be mentioned legally in any such bill. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I would not be in a position to decide 'who got what!'" Republican inconsistency is evidenced again when we look at the r ecord concerning federal aid .to education. Despite strenuous efforts of local and state governments, we are not keeping up with the growing need for schools. As a result, there is a present shortage of 130,000 classrooms and 135,000 teachers. The Republicans pay "lip service" to a concern for this problem and promise to do all in their power to ameliorate these conditions. Their true "concern" became evident when Richard Nixon cast his tie-breaking vote this February against a Democratic bill which would have provided $1.1 billion a year for four years to be used for school construction and-or teacher pay, as each state chose. Thus, anything Nixon says must be regarded as having little relationship as to how he would act on such an issue. Democrats propose to include health insurance - as a right under the Social Security insurance system. Slightly higher Social Security taxes, ,p aid during one's working years, would entitle a person to paid-up health insurance in his old age, with a free choice of hospital, nursing home, and doctor. The use of general revenues to finance health insurance for the aged would be restricted to those not covered by Social Security. The Democrat's health insurance proposal has received impressive support from experts and independent observers. J. Douglas Brown, dean of faculty at Princeton University, said of the Democratic proposal: "No other means or mechanism can perform this necessary function with as much economy in cost or with as much respect for the needs, rights, and dignity of all concerned." (Washington Post, 4-6-60) Political expediency finally forced the Administration, late in the 1960 session of Congress, to come up with a rival, cumbersome, costly, and probably unworkable -p lan. It is a charity plan requiring an "income" or "means" test - a degrading experience for the applrcant, and an administrative headache because verification of eligibility would be required annually. It would shift the administrative burden and half the cost to the already overburdened states, which may be ( continued on page 6) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 28, 1960 3 Grants Offered For Graduate Work Danforth Foundation Scholarships Availahle in All Fields of Study Dr. Farley has named Dean Ralston as the liaison officer to nominate to the Danforth Foundation two, or not to exceed three, candidates for 1961 fellowships. This program is open to sen,ior college men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and who are planning to enter graduate school in September, 1961, for their first year of graduate study. The foundation welcomes applicants from all fields of specialization to be found on the undergraduate level. Those accepted may hold this fellowship concurrently with other scholarship appointments such as the Rhodes, Fulbright, and Woodrow Wilson. The qualifications of the candidates are outstanding academic ability, personality congenial to the classroom, and integrity and character, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition. All applications must be completed by January 15, 1961. All interested students are requested to see Dean Ralston as soon as possible. "Beatnik Bop" Planned by Mary Frances Barone The Psychology - Sociology Club will sponsor the Beatnik Bop on November 11 in the gym.

Union Progressing by Neil Castagnaro The main emphasis of last Tuesday's Inter-Dormitory C o u n c i 1 meeting fell upon their proposed adoption of a foreign student. Nancy Palazzolo, who is chairman of a committee which includl'S Hugh Gladstone and Lida Gerstel, outlined their plans to date. A foreign orphan will be selected by the Save the Children Federation. This student will be supported by contributions from the student body through the I.D.C. and proceeds from the Student Union. Also an anonymous donor has promised $50.00 per year for the support of the foreign orphan. When· the foreign orphan reaches college age, Dr. Farley has promised a four-year full tuition scholarship, so that he may continue his education at Wilkes. To defray transportation and dormitory expenses a separate fund is to ·b e establish ed by the I.D.C. A report on the conversion of the basement of Barre Hall into a student union was also given. All the main supporting beams have been set in; the tile flooring and electrical wiring will be installed within the next two weeks. This work is to be supervised by a committee of I.D.C. members and volunteers headed by Richard Lewin and Dave Peters. A sum of $400 has been provided for the completion of this project - $200 from the Student Government and $200 from the administration.

Il'i HOMETOWN A:M:ETIJICA LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (continued from page 2) Wilkes College hazing system "Bravo!" We are, however, a bit confused as to your reasoning, Mr. Van Dyke. In fact, we doubt very much whether or not you know what you are talking about. To our knowledge, you have been an avid fan of the hazing program and have used it to inflate your otherwise depressed ego. We have indeed noticed that you participated most actively in the so-called "brainwashing," and may we add that you were very effective in this program. You also enjoyed hell night, did you not? In fact, you took many pictures of the proceedings to ever hold these precious moments. Were they precious insofar as you witnessed men (both freshmen and upperclassmen) enjoying themselves, or were these moments precious because you saw men being "sadistically" treated. We heard no screams of agony. We saw no blood. We saw only a ritual in which freshmen were being formally accepted into the dormitory. ·what is so terribly "foolish," "illogical," and "sadistic" about that? In reference to your comment about the "weak," do you realize the serious consequences that can arise in protecting the "weak"? The weak must be strengthened rather than mollycoddled. As one of our freshmen (after h ell night) so aptly put it: "Hazing does not make or break a person; rather it brings to the surface that which has always been within." No doubt, gentleman, a small minority will always take advantage of a situation to appease their own "weak" tendencies. However, must you, "in all truth and sincerity," condemn an entire school for the actions of. these few? We feel that on the whole, this year's hazing program satisfied the needs of the incoming freshmen, and made their adjustment into college life easier and more enjoyable. For this, the upperclassmen should be praised rather than degraded. Au contraire, (we too know French) hazing can only be improved by constructive rather than destructive criticism. Sincerely, John Adams and Ronald Ciccone Two Programs Presented by National Science Foundation by Bob Bomboy Approximately 1200 graduates and 150 postdoctoral fellowships in two programs during the 1961-1962 academic year will be awarded by the National Science Foundation. --• • P ERS ONALS by Roberts S.

The performance of the New York Yankees against Pittsburgh can well attest to the fact that as far as sports is concerned, compiling the most impressive listings of statistics is an empty accomplishment unless you actually win the game. Taken individually, each member of the starting team is en excellent player, four of them have received national recognition so far this season by being given honorable mention on the ECAC "Team of the Week." Marv Antinnes, Jerry Mohn, Tom Krisulevicz, and Al Dobrowalski have all received this honor, with Mohn also having once been named Sophomore of the Week. However, the team has so far failed to utilize its potential and win a game. The soccer team's prospects are not too good this weekend. Elizabethtown, perenially one of the strongest teams in the east, is now riding high with one of the most powerful teams in its soccer history. The Bluejays' line is fast and accurate, having scored an average of 11.25 goals per game in its first five games this season. Last weekend they defeated Drexel Institute of Technology, another school that annually fields exceptionally strong soccer squads. The Hofstra game saw the backfield display fine defensive play, especially by Chuck Weiss and Bob Ontko. Both of these men can kick the ball beyond the mid-field marker with little effort, Weiss having actually set up Zwiebel's score which was the deciding margin against Hofstra. Perhaps the backfield that played so well against the Hofstra line that possessed fine passing abilities and accurate "head" ball, will be able to keep Elizabethtown from scoring and set up some goal shots for the linemen.

The Bluejays sport one of the finest teams in their history and are undefeated so far this season. In a highly defensive MAC contest, the ,h ooters won their second match of the season last Saturday by defeating the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra College, 1-0. The game was hard fought throughout, but the Colonels played flawless defensive ball to keep the Hofstra hooters out of scoring range. Lou Zwiebel got the only score of the afternoon early in the third period after Chuck Weiss had set up the play with a booming kick from deep in Wilkes' territory. Zwiebel missed his first shot at the goal as it bounded off the Hofstra goalie's knee but Lou quickly retrieved the ball in the scramble around the net and shot it in. Outstanding for the Wilkes legmen were the fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig and goalie Bob ·Ontko. Ontko registered 25 saves in chalking up his first shutout of the season. Insides Frank Lepore, George Tensa and Changee Chae played good defensive ball. the operations of business, industry, science, and government.

Last Saturday saw the team lose its fifth straight of the season as is was defeated by Lycoming College, 10-0, on Bowman Field in Williamsport. The Warriors' scoring came on a seven-yard field goal and a plunge from the three. Wilkes threatened three times during the game but could not muster enough offensive push to score. The Colonels threatened early in the game after Nick Alesandro recovered a Lycoming fumble on the Warriors' 27. Lycoming's defense held and Wilkes lost the ball on downs after netting only nine yards in four plays. Early in the second period, Tom Krisulevicz recovered a Lycoming fumble on the Warriors' 37. Again the Colonel ground attack bogged down as they managed to gain only eight yards on four plays and had to hand the ball over on downs. Lycoming managed to put some points on the scoreboard late in the second period as end Al Bouvier blocked a Colonel punt which was picked up by end Don Dyke who got all the way to the Wilke·s seven before being brought down from behind. The Colonel defense held and after three plays had gained nothing for the Warriors, Stan Okotkewitz came in and booted a field goal, giving Lycoming a 3-0, lead. The .only good complete drive of the game was made by Lycoming halfway through the third period, when, after taking possession of th.e .ball on their own 44, they went 56 yards on the ground in ten plays for a touchdown.

The two teams fought a scoreless ballgame until late in the fourth period when a shot by Muhlenberg lineman Kindred bounced off Colonel fullback Erwin Guetig's knee into the net. The score came during a mix-up in the Wilkes backfield and Kindred's boot looked like an easy save for goalie Bob Ontko until the fluke bounce off Guetig's knee. Such freak goals happen rarely and marked the second time this season that the Mules have been on the receiving end of such a "gift". Outsta.nding for Wilkes were goalie Bob Ontko, who made 25 saves, fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwing Guetig. Despite the bad bounce off his knee, Guetig continued the fine defensive play that he displayed against Hofstra. Halfbacks Ted Toluba, Bob Chew, and Jim Neddoff aided the Colonel defense and added offensive support to the line of Roberts, Zwiebel, Prusakowski, Tensa, and Lepore throughout the game. I ing for the day. For the Colonels Marv Antinnes was top ground-gainer of the game with 62 yards. Frank Spudis was one of the top men on defense, highlighting his .p erformance with a pass interception in the fourth period on the Lycoming 42 and carrying it to the 28 before being brought down. Wilkes, however, could not advance any further. The game came to a close with Wilkes on the offense again, this time on the Lycoming 18 following a. blocked punt.

It dispersed the money of the bill so thinly that the effectiveness of the legislation was greatly reduced. This bill did not restrict itself to dealing with chronically depressed areas, but also covered areas which were only temporarily depressed. For example, two areas which were covered under the stipulations of the bill when it was first written, no longer were eligible for aid when the bill came to a v ote. This showed a complete lack of understanding concerning the problem at hand. For the information of the people in this area, the Administration bill would have guaranteed twice as much money to this area as would the Democrat bill. This is not a debatable opinion; it is a fact and has been proved. The truth of the matter is simply this : the Democrats are using this as a ,political issue, and are showing no concern for the depressed areas in question. If they cared they would have passed suitable legislation on this problem. This should be evident to anyone with the slightest amount of intelligence. . Did the Kickline look a little less than perfect at the WilkesUrsmus game? If so, there was a reason other than wayward bears and football players. The twenty-eight members of the "Line" had been practicing faithfully the past two weeks in anticipation of their first appearance of the year, the Homecoming Game. By Thursday preceding the game, the girls had all their costume accessories, but the eagerly awaited outfits hadn't been completed. However, the dressmaker who had been hired to sew the costumes assured Jan Bronson, captain of the "Line" that all costumes would be finished by early Saturday morning. Members of the "Line" were told they would be able to pick up their costumes .bY 11 :00 a.m. at Chapman Hall, but when the girls arrived at the dorm they discovered that half of the costumes had not been delivered! ! Peggy Churchill, co-captain of the "Line" had gone for the costumes and discovered they had not been finished. She then called the dorm and told the girls to meet her at the Kingston Stadium. The Kicklin was scheduled to appear at 3 :00 p.m., but five minutes before the scheduled performance Peggy still had not arrived with the costumes. Just when the girls had given up hope of performing, Peggy made her appearance. Upon hurriedly changing into the costumes, the girls made some startling discoveries. None of the costumes fitted well, the workmanship was poor, and all the outfits were lacking hems. However, the show had to go on. Once off the field further confusion was caused by the rambling Ursinus Bear and members of both football teams, but in spite of all obstacles the girls proved that the "Line" has the fortitude to perform even under the most unfavorable conditions. Moo-Moos lo Acl Al Home Games oy Neil Castagnaro This past weekend was the deb ut of the newest branch of the School Spirit Committee (S.S.C.) in its performance at the Homecoming game. The Moo-Moos, under the capable leadership of Jeff Gallet, are a group of freshmen who are dedicated to increasing school spirit at all athletic functions. At the Homecoming game they were active in leading cheers and getting the "Home" fans seated in the res erved sections. They continued their spirit-raising antics with the aid of water pistols and clown makeup throughout the entire game and were successful in this endeavor. The Moo-Moos will continue to function throughout this semester and next. Their captain plans activities and antics for all future athletic events at home. The MooMoos are seven in number. Their captain expressed a desire that more people join. Membership is open to all male freshmen. See J eff Gallet of Ashley Hall if you are interested in membership. The charter members of the MooMoos are Jeff Galet, captain; Boyd Manzer, Walt Dexter, Bill Schmidt Gary Einhorn, Harry Tobias, Mik~ Landesman. BARTLETT'S QUOTATIONS Wise men through the ages have had some pointed things to say about education and study. As we face the new semester with high hopes and some trepidation, perhaps some words from the wise might offer solace. Below are listed quotations all having to do with academic life. How many can you correctly identify? 1. The learned are seldom .p retty fellows, and in many cases their appearance t ends to discourage a love of study in the young. 2. Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel. 3. Of making many books there is no end; and much studying is a weariness of the flesh. 4. Educational relations make the strongest tie. 5. For the student there is, in its season, no better place than the saddle, and no better companion than the rifle or the oar. 6. Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject - the actual enemy is the unknown. 7. No profit grows where is no .pleasure ta'en; In brief, sire, study Trethaway Attends SAM Meeting byJerome Kulesa Mr. Harold P.

This is a mock United Nations meeting whereby stud ents of various colleges in the Mid-Atlantic Coast area take the part of m ember country delegates. World problems are discussed in accordance with United Nations rul es. The question of whether or not it is beneficial to hold the MGA at Wilkes arose, and a motion was passed to allow Vince Capo to make the decision. Capo, vice-president of the MGA, will attend a continuation m eeting in N ew York, and if he decides that the m eeting should be at Wilkes, h e will submit an application. A delegation will be sent to Montreal to attend the UMGA. This is a similar organization in which students from colleges from various parts of the world take part. Heading the delegation is Gary DeHope. The other delegates have not as yet been chosen. Michelini Discusses Role Of Research at Directors Conference in Capital by Mary Frances Barone Dr. Francis J. Michelini, assistant professor of biology, addressed the directors' meeting of Undergraduate Research Programs at the Statler Hotel in Washington, D.C., on October 28. The text of his speech included the role of r esearch in undergraduate science curricula and foundation science program for undergraduates of Wilkes College. Dr. Michelini presented to the directors from variou s colleges and universities the liberal arts college philosophy with regard to research. His discussion included the techniques developed here at Wilkes. Dr. Michelini stated that research plays an important part in a teacher's academic activity, but it is a greater value as an influence in the academic activity on the student. He presented the problems which have occurred at Wilkes in establishing its research program. The programs were the stimulating of faculty research and the stimulating of student participation in research. The first problem is a precursor to the stimulation of student participation. The purpose of the conference was to acquaint the non-experienced directors of the Undergraduate Research Program with the experiences of other colleges and universities who have participated in such programs. by Wayne Thomas Vice-President Richard M. Nixon was the choice for president of ·the United States of the majority of students who attended yesterday's assembly at the gymnasium. The mock election, held under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government sowed Nixon to be the favorite by a vote of 443 to Kennedy's 371. A total of 841 votes were cast. Prior to the collection of ballots, Steve Robertson, president of ICG, introduced Jerome Krasa, co-chairman of Students for KennedyJ ohnson, and Glenn Beebe, cochairman of Students for NixonLodge, who presented the ,views of their resp ective candidates. . In addition to the 1·eg:ula1: poll, students were also asked to indicate their choice for president and vice-president if they were allowed to cross party lines in choosing from among the nominees. Although the results of this poll have not been tabulated as yet, there was strong t endency here for Kennedy supporters to choose Lodge for the position of vice-president. The mock election is the climax of the campaigns for both parties which have been conducted on campus for the past several weeks . Both the Students for Nixon-Lodge and the Students for KennedyJohnson groups have been active in conducting rallies and displaying posters favoring their particular candidates in various spots on campus. In addition to the debate, Henry O'Karma, executive director of the Wilkes-Barre Redevelopment Authority, gave his views on the need for urban redevelopment in the city of Wilkes-Barre. He also explained to the students the need for the present bond issue which has been placed on the November 8 election ballot for consideration. ICG is also sponsoring an election night party in the cafeteria at which time those present will be served refreshments and will watch the election r eturns on television .

Philip II, whose empire stretched as far as the Pacific Islands known today by his name as the Philippines, Franco's Valle de Jos Caidos, the memorial cathedral literally carved into the rocky mountain, presents the largest and probably the most modern Roman Catholic church in the world. The cathedral is dedicated to the fallen people of the Spanish Civil War on both sides. It is interesting how the bloody civil war is still on everybody's mind and lips in Spain. The Iberian peninsula owes the uniqueness and charm of its architectural designs to the Moorish influence, and much of its medieval glory to the Arabic and Jewish scholars.

The price (continued on page 3) Friday, November 4, 1960 Presenting The Issues (REPUBLICAN) by Steve Robertson, Glenn Beebe The Democrats, in this election, have tried to portray Jack Kennedy as a friend of the laboring man. In truth, Mr. Kennedy is not a friend of the laboring man, but a friend of the powerful union leaders of this country. This is clearly evident when you examine his record. Jack and brother Bobby were both connected with the McClellan Committee, which investigated the corruption in American unions. Senator Kennedy was certainly aware of the advantage taken of the working man within the unions by powerful union leaders. However, when Sen. McClellan (D.-Ark.) introduced his "Bill of Rights" amendment to the Landrum-Griffin bill, Sen. Kennedy voted against it. (The vote on the amendment ended in a tie, which Vice-President Nixon broke in favor of the bill). This amendment provided the working man with the right to vote as to whether they wanted to go out on strike, fairer elections within the unions, and, in general, gave the member a larger say in the internal workings of his union. Why did Senator Kennedy vote against this? - Needless to say, the majority of the union leaders in the country were violently opposed to this bill. Mr. Kennedy said of the bill, "This is the most vicious piece of labor legislation in 20 years." · To say that he is not at least partly controlled by the powerful union leaders is to be very naive. Senator Kennedy has branded as a lie the Nixon statement that the Kennedy farm program will boost food prices 25%. The Nixon charge is not merely campaign oratory, however, it is based on the detailed analysis of the program by career Department of Agriculture economists - many if not most of them Democcrats. The Department of Agriculture analysis is a devastating critique of the Kennedy program. The report declares: 1. The 3/ 5's of American Agriculture not under Federal Control would be brought under government regulation. 2. Administrative costs for the program would be three hundred eighty million dollars. The number of administrative personnel would be quadrupled. 3. People would be forced to leave the farm at a record rate. The farm plant would shrink 20% and the farm employment would decrease by more than one million workers. Another million people now engaged in servicing the American farmer would be unemployed. 4. Food prices would jump 25% and the cost of Jiving index would jump 6 points. 5. The cost of the farm commodity program would be shifted to the consumer. 6. Food prices would rise so high that no farm product could be exported without large subsidies. At present, the subsidy needed to export a bushel of wheat ' is $.50. Under Mr. Kennedy's program, this would have to be increased to $1.75. Mr. Nixon's program, conversely, will be, if anything, less expensive than our present farm program. He will initiate a program of graduaily reduced farm price support that will eventually leave the fa-r mer on his own two feet when our swiftly increasing population creates the demand for ail that he can produce. The American farmer should find him self in this position within the next 20 years . (N. Y. Mirror, ·10-19-60) There can be no argument that ( continued on page 3) (DEMOCRAT) by Jerome Krasa, Frances Olack A decent minimum wage is the right of every American citizen. The Democratic Party is the party which consistently works for an adequate minimum wage. We find ample evidence of this when we look at the record of both parties. It was the Democrats who raised the minimum wage to 75 cents an hour. In July, 1955 the Democratic 84th Congress raised the minimum wage from 75 cents to one clollar an hour despite Eisenhower-Nixon opposition. In the 86th Congress, Democrats introduced a bill to extend coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act to more than 7 ½ million workers and to raise the minimum wage to $1.25 an hour. Again the Democrats ran into stiff opposition from the Administration who claimed the raise was exorbitant. But in the five years since the $1 minimum was voted by the Democrats, the increase of productivity and the rise in the cost of living have provided new justification for an increased mm1mum wage. The Democrats recognfae the need for a realistic minimum and work to increase the minimum to keep wages on a par with living costs. Looking at the record of both parties concerning labor, we again find the Democrats on the side of the worker while the Republican Party traditionally resists efforts , to improve the condition of the working man. Eisenhower Administration refused to honor its 1952 campaign promises to amend antiunion provisions of the Taft-Hartley Law. Martin Durkin, the first Eisenhower Secretary of Labor, resigned in protest over this in 1953. The Administration us ed its influence in blocking a bipartisan labor .reform act in 1958. The GOP filled vacancies on the Labor Board with anti-labor, pro-management spokesmen. The Democrats, on the other hand, have a proud record concerning labor legislation. In addition to increasing the minimum wage, the Democrats have put through measures dealing with unemployment compensation and fair labor standards. The Democratic 85th Congress created the McClellan Committee to root out corruption in both labor and management. This Committee made great strides in cleaning up corruption in this field. In the 86th Congress, Democratic bills in both House and Senate proposed to improve unemployment insurance by higher benefits, c o v er age of workers in small companies, and grants to states in financial difficulty because of high unemployment. These improvements were opposed by the GOP. A Democratic Administration can be trusted to continue to recognize the human rights of the worker, his essential economic value and his fight to share in the prosperity which could not exist without him. We again come to the vital issue of foreign policy. We have seen no improvement in the Administration approach to this subject since we first discussed it. Cuba is still a Communist camp. Belatedly, the United States has taken economic sanctions against the government of Cuba. But until we obtain a multi-lateral agreement with all the Latin American countries with respect to sanctions, they can't be effective. Senator Kennedy has consistently advocated such a multilateral agreement. Richard Nixon would have committed this country to the defense of Quemoy and Matsu even if attack on these islands were not a prelude to an attack on Formosa ( continued on page 3) WHAT - WHERE - WHEN I.C.G.

Coach Jim Ferris has been working his forces very hard this week . in hopes of overcoming the Colonel's biggest weakness, the inability to score. With this added emphasis on scoring, the Colonels have hopes of unleashing their biggest offense of the season. Last Saturday the Elizabethtown College soccer team invaded Wilkes with hopes of adding the Colonels to their list of victories. After the dust had cleared, the Bluejays had picked up their sixth win of the season, 6-0. The E-towners scored in every period to keep their leadership in national scoring honors but a spirited Colonel defens!! kept the NAIA champions considerably under their game average. The highflying Bluejays had been averaging close to twelve goals per game but the stellar play of goalie Bob Ontko and fullbacks Erwin Guetig and Erwin Guetig Chuck Weiss allowed only six "COKE" IS A IIIEQISTlll:ED TRAOE•MARI(. COl'1'RIQHT@ 1958 TME COCA•COU. eoM,ANY. , goals also set MAC and Elizabeth· town records for season play. The Bluejays drew first blood late in the first stanza when Carroll Hershey took a pass from his brother Al and dented the Colonel goal with a left foot shot. With seconds remaining in the first half, the E-towners got their second goal on a corner kick by Yurchak which Al Hershey headed into the net. Yurchak found the range in .the second half to bang home three goals as the hard-pressed Colonels began to tire. Although they were lacking in experience, the Colonel team gave the Bluejays their roughest game of the season to date. Goalie Bob Ontko registered 33 saves to keep the scoring down. Halfbacks Toluba, Neddoff, and Chew teamed with insides Tensa, Changee Chae and Frank Lepore to harass the usually effective passing game of the Elizabethtown eleven. Clyde Roberts and Lou Zwiebel once again were the top offensive threats for Wilkes. With three inches of water covering most of the field, the soccermen were out-sloshed, 3-1, by the East Stroudsburg Warriors on .T uesday. Field conditions gave · spectators visions of water polo matches as the two teams chased the ever-eluding muddy ball about the park. The Teachers drew first blood as Barry Wray scored a goal halfway :through the second period. He had kicked the ball into a puddle in front of the Wilkes goal and al_though goalie Bob Ontko had dived at the ball, it floated into the goal. East Stroudsburg struck fast for two goals early in the third period as Paul Grube and Karl Dickl dented the Wilkes net. The 'mudriddled Colonels tried to fight back but couldn't get the necessary power behind the ball until late in the third period when outside left Clyde Roberts struck home with a left foot shot into the net. Both teams threatened in the last stanza but the watery field, poor footing, and heavy ball prevented further scoring by both teams. Susquehanna s 34-yd. Pass Play, Pass Interception; Field Goal Acco uni for Colonels 9-0 Loss 1 Tomorrow the football team _travels to Carlisle, Pennsylvania to take on the Red Devils of Dickinson College in a MAC contest scheduled to get underway at 1:30 p.m. The last contest between the two teams was in 1958, the Colonels losing to the Demons, 12-0. The composite record of Wilkes against Dickinson is one win and one loss. · The Colonels will be without tackle Ed Gavel, who pulled ligaments in his right leg during practice Monday afternoon. Ed Gavel While the Colonels were losing to Susquehanna, 9-0, last weekend, Dickinson lost a close game to Lebanon Valley, 10-8. The Dutchmen shook off the scare of a Dickinson first quarter touchdown and came on with a touchdown and field goal to win and retain their dominance of the Northern College Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Saturday's game with Susquehanna was a defensive battle for the team as their deepest penetration of the game took them to the Crusaders' 24 early in the fourth quarter. A 34 yard pass play and an interception of a Colonel pass which set up a field goal accounted for the afternoon's scoring. Marv Antinnes and Tom Krisulevicz accounted for the Colonels' 104 net yards, Antinnes with 84 and Krisulevicz with 20. Despite the efforts of the strong Wilkes defense, Susquehanna picked up 215 yards and completed two out of six passes. The Crusaders' touchdown followed an exchange of punts early in the first period. After taking possession of the ball on their own 17, Larry Kerstetter and John Luscko brought them down to the I Wilkes 34 on a series of running plays.

The remainder of the second half · was a defensive battle between the - two teams, with rival tackles Frank · Spudis of Wilkes and Dan Remler of the Crusaders turning in out' standing play. Spudis recovered one fumble and forced another while Remler came up with two recoveries of Colonel fumbles. None of the breaks turned out to be of any advantage to either team. The Blue and Gold opened strong . in the third quarter but Susquehanna halted the running successes of Marv Antinnes, who had brought the ball all the way from his own 34 to the Crusaders' 34. . Susquehanna then turned around- and moved to the Colonel 38 after a pass interception by Glen Bowman and a series of penalties against Wilkes. Halfback Terry Kissinger then raced around his left end and got all the way _to the six, from where center Tom Samuel booted a field goal two plays later. The Crusaders missed another scoring opportunity in the fourth quarter after Barry Hengst recovered a Wilkes fumble on their 26. After several fine runs by Bowman, the Crusaders got to the nine from where Luscko dashed into the end zone but lost ;possession of the ball on a fumble and Wilkes was awarded a touchback.

This paper, which marks the beginning of English periodical literature known today as the magazine, was the joint work of Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. It satirized the middle class and offered literary criticisms, but contained no news. Dr. William J.

Library Lists New Book Selections on Folklore Which Combines Reading Pleasure, Information by -Gloria Zaludek For anyone interested in reading for pleasure and enjoyment, among the new books which the library has purchased are The Realm of the Incas by Siegfried Huber, and The Aztecs: ' People of the Sun by Alfonso Caso. Both of these intriguing books are accurate and living portrayals based on original sources. The Realm of the Incas Peru has always been a land of mystery with its snow-capped Cordilleras, hot valleys, man-made terraces exploiting every inch of soil, and megalithic remains whose riddle has never been solved because the Incas never had a script. Siegfried Huber has written a lively and scholarly account of the Inca Kingdom from the arrival of the Conquistadors to the final capitulation of the last Inca, Tupac Amaru. He delves deeply into the myths and legends in an attempt to prove that the kingdom of the Incas fell into the hands of the Spaniards like a rotten fruit. This white-skinned race of autocrats had produced a fossilized constitution, in which there was no possible chance for human freedom and initiative. The Incas lived in a dream world of grotesque and bloody divinities. Huber is a keen observer and obviously fell under the spell of the country. The result is an entertaining, readable study which contains a number of plausible and intriguing theories. Having taught in South America for many years, the author knows the surviving remains of Peruvian culture at first hand. Above all, he has worked on the old Spanish documents and literature of the period. He concludes that the impassive natives today have changed little since the days of the Incas. They are still indolent, poor, and enigmatic; their noble faces differ little from those found on their pottery, or on the rare stone sculptures at Tiahuanaco. The Aztecs: People of the Sun At the time of the Spanish conquest of Mexico, Hernando Cortez and his lieutenants found there a people committed to the human sacrifice occupying a city so magnificent that the Spaniards viewed it with wonder and amazement. Here, illustrated with colored drawings and photographs, is a brilliant account of the Aztec people, their art, customs, religion, and practice of magic. Alfonso Caso, an archeologist and author of the book, surveys the gods that appear in the codices and archeological remains - the gods who make up the pantheon of the Aztecs. Being fundamentally a religious people whose daily lives were shaped by their gods, the Aztecs considered worship of the gods essential to their way of life.

We appreciated your assistance and apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you. Again may we offer our Sincerely yours, Frances Olack, Jerome Krasa Co-Chairmen "' "' "' Editor of the Beacon, Today, November 8, I attended my sophomore class meeting, one at which attendance was not required. I would guess that there were 50 to 60 present. The main topic of discussion was consideration of consolidation of the sophomore and junior classes for the proposed "jazz concert" of this coming April 8. Our president, Brent O'Connell, declined to present his opinion concerning this consolidation, but did invite the president of the junior class, Joseph Shambe, to express the opinion of the junior class. Ralph Pinsky also attended the meeting as a representative of the junior class. A rather heated debate arose between sophomore class members and the two junior class representatives. Points in this debate were efficiency, prestige, profit, and cooperation versus animosity. Supposedly - the efficiency remains at the same level, whether or not the junior class helps the sophomore class; the prestige of the sophomore class is not increased by consolidation; the profit is cut in half by consolidation; and the reaction of individual junior class members, upon refusal of consolidation, will be either cooperative, or uncooperative. Obviously, all of these points can be contested from two different points of view. My purpose in this letter is not to condemn or approve the final decision which refuted consolidation. I simply would like to ,p oint out a lesson which I learned from this meeting. It is connected with political science. We have -learned from study of political sciimce the fact that American national politics is partisan. We have learned that party politics often disregards national welfare. I see our Wilkes sophomore class meeting as a miniature imitation of our national ,p arty politics. To make myself clear - we, the sophomore class, considered the benefits which our class will derive, - did we consider the benefits which the student body, as a whole, will derive, - did we try to benefit the college as a whole? Respectfully submitted Ania Symmons Sophomore P.S.-I reasoned out my feelings about the subject after the meeting was over, and use this opportunity to express my views now. Friday, November 11, 1960 ELECTION ANALYSIS by Michael Bianco A record turnout of some 67,000,000 voters contributed to what may be called the most crucial Presidential election in this · century. The results of the election are fairly evident, but the unpredictable factorspersonality and religion-may never be measured accurately; these factors may have been the most important determinants in the election. Nonetheless, a close analysis of the evident factors in the campaign will point to several highlights. Foreign affairs was one of two areas where the candidates clashed directly. Within the foreign affairs area the issue of policy toward Quemoy and Matsu was probably the most hotly debated. Mr. Nixon, you recall, maintained that not one inch of free soil ought to be ceded to the Chinese Communists. Mr. Kennedy stated that the islands were indefensible and not worth the lives of our men. Eventually both men ml;>ved closer to the policy of President Eisenhower and the issue , nded. M#. Nixon attacked Mr. Kennedy's position on Cuba when he deplored armed intervention as tantamout to world war. Mr. Kennedy changed his initial position from armed intervention to the use of propaganda in Cuba. Mr. Kennedy suggested that the prestige of this country was at the lowest level in the history of the country. Mr. Nixon maintained that the status of the United Statets in world affairs was at an all time high. In domestic affairs, the main issue centered around the role the new administration would play in the nation's economic and social problems. Vice-President Nixon stated that the Eisenhower administration had given America great prosperity. He pledged to build on this foundation through programs encouraging individual responsibility in the "business section" of the economy. Senator Kennedy assailed the inertia of the Eisenhower administration in the economy and advocated greater government spending in areas such as education, agriculture, and medical care for the aged. Both candidates urged greater development of the economic and social aspects of the nation. Other factors were the elections for the Senate, House, and governorships. In the Senate thirty-four seats were at stake, twenty-three of these were held by Democrats, eleven by Republicans. With twelve of these seats certain to be Democratic, it appeared as though the Senate would have a Democratic majority. In the House all 437 seats are up for election, but, continued Democratic control is likely even though the . Republicans gained several seats in the election. Twenty-seven g~vernorships are at stake; fourteen of these positions are held by Democcrats, thirteen by Republicans. With governors divided at thirtythree Democrats and seventeen Republicans, a Democratic majority seems assured. Early returns show that Senator Kennedy's large vote in several states swept in underdog Democrats in local and guebrnatorial contests. Perhaps in no other Presidential election has the personality and image of each candidate been so vital; this factor was borne out by the widely televised debates. More than Mr. Nixon's stumping 65,000 miles and fifty states or Mr. Kennedy's travels of 78,000 miles and forty-four states, the television debates gave the electorate a closer glimpse of the image and personality of the candidates. Political observers seem to agree that neither candidate "won or lost" the series of four debates; however, Mr. Kennedy greatly benefited from the joint appearances since he was less well-known than the Vice-President. Nixon aides said the debates were disastrous for the Vice-President because Kennedy was given equal footing with his opponent. Although both candidates tried admirably to disregard the religious issue, the "silent religious vote" was decisive. Senator Kennedy's religion would undoubtably be the sole reason for millions of votes being counted for and against him. A fifteen to thirty per cent increase in the Catholic vote over 1956 aided Kennedy's win in the large industrialized states; the Jewish vote was 85 to 95 per cent for Kennedy. The latter may have swung South Carolina, Texas, and Maryland; these and other states with large Negro populations could have negated the rural Republican vote for Nixon. This religious issue may be one of the factors contributing to the record turnout but it is not unlikely that the televised debates and get-out-the-vote drives aided in diluting the religious factor. Consolidation Denied Freshmen Meet Tuesday In Sophomore Meeting As Official Organization by Doug Keating Plans for bringing in a famous name musical group were the main topics of discussion at the sophomore class meeting, held Tuesday at 11 o'clock in the Jewish Community Center. President Brent O'Connell re,p orted on the progress made so far in regard to the concert. He said that the administration had approved the class's having the concert, and Saturday, April 8, 1961 had been set aside on the school calendar as the date on which it is to be held. O'Connell submitted a list of musical groups which are available. Among those mentioned were Ralph Martieri's orchestra, Duke Ellington's combo, and the singing groups, The Brothers Four and The Four Freshmen. The class came to no decision on which group it wished to have. This question will be definitely decided at the next class meeting. The Junior Class had also planned to have a similar program, but, since the administration will allow only one concert during each school year and since the sophomore class had been first to receive permission to hold one, the junior class proposed that the two classes should cooperate on the concert.

Edward Rogalski, president, outlined the immediate purpose of this meeting; that is, to mold the largest freshman class ever to enter Wilkes into a well-organized solid-functioning unit which will be able to satisfactorily fulfill its obligations. The procedure for appointment to the Freshman class Executive Council will be explained at this meeting. The first duty of this group will be to draft the constitution of the Class of 1964.

The Diplomats from Lancaster won last year's rough and tumble affair, 3-2. Wearing the Blue and Gold uni- form for the last time will be center-forward Lou Zwiebel, centerhalfback Bob Chew, left halfback Jim Neddoff, and goalie Bob Ontko. These Colonel legmen will graduate in June, 1961. With a cold drizzle and muddy field setting the scene, an aggressive Gettysburg College soccer "COKE" IS A R EOIS TERED TRADE::•MARK, COPYR IGIH @ 1958 THE COCA-COLA COM PAN"r Elementary... my dear Watson!

Colonels Down Dickinson, 6-0; Antinnes Leads Way, Scores TD On Plunge lo Cap 81-Yard Drive Antinnes Named Athlete; Fullback Scores TD, Carries Ball 120 Yards Laurels for this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" have been be st owed upon "Mu st ang" Marv Antinnes. Marv, the bread-andbutter ball carrier of the Colonels, gained 120 yards _ 61 in the important touchdown march - and scored the touchdown in Wilkes' 6-0 win over Dickinson last Saturday. He was lost to the team after the first two games of the season when he injured his shoulder during an intra-squad scrimmage. After he returned to the team, he quickly regained his form and has since done the bulk of the ballcarrying. The amiable gridder ranks second in the MAC in yards gained by rushing and is averaging 3.5 yards ,per carry. This is especially impressive when one realizes that he missed three contests because of his injury. Football isn't his only claim to fame. He became the first Colonel wrestler to gain national honors when he was crowned 177-pound class champion in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament. He also gained top runner-up honors in last year's Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament, was 177-pound Middle At!antic Conference champion last year and was named the Beacon Athlete of the Year for 1959-60. Marv is a senior secondary education major and graduated from Forty Fort High School where he won honors in football, wrestling, track, and debating. He is active as vice-president of the Lettermen's Club and is a member of the Education Club. team handed the Colonel hooters their fourth consecutive shutout, 3-0. The Bullets scored their initial goal midway in the second stanza when a corner kick by Gettysburg outside Tom Truex bounced off Colonel defender Jim Neddoff's knee into the net. This was the second "gift" goal the Wilkes legmen have given up this season. The Blue and Gold threatened many times in the opening half but always lacked that extra push needed to score. A mixup in the Colonel backfield set up the second Bullet goal and Gettysburg inside O'Gore promptly took advantage of this error by banging home a score. The third tally of the contest came late in the game when an ever-eluding ball sli.pped through the Wilkes defense and halfback Seitter bounced the loose ball into the net. Outstanding for the Colonels were fullbacks Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig and goalie Bob Ontko. -Ontko registered eighteen saves while the booming kicks of the fullbacks kept the ball out of Wilkes territory most of the afternoon. Halfback Bob Chew teamed with linemen Lou Zwiebel, Clyde Roberts, Frank Lepore, George Tensa, and Walt Prusakowski to give the Colonels their most frustrated offense. Tomorrow the football tea:m takes on the Mainliners of Haverford College in the first game of a two-ga:me home stand which will close the Wilkes 1960 football season. Haverford, which holds down last place in the Southern College Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference, has no victories against six setbacks. There is no football record between Wilkes and Haverford. While the Colonels were picking up their first victory of the season last Saturday at Dickinson's expense, 6-0, the Mainliners suffered a 22-·0 defeat at the hands of Ursinus College. Despite the fact that they possess one of the top ten pass r eceivers of the MAC in end Bob Jenks, they have been plagued by scoring difficulties, a 20-6 loss to Pennsylvania Military College being the only game in which they have managed to score. Last Saturday the team won its first game of the season as it defeated the Demons of Dickinson College to ruin their homecoming wee½end. Fullba~k Marv Antinnes, leadmg_ groundgamer of the afternoon W1th 120 yards, put the game on ice in the final seconds of the second quarter a~ he. capped an 81 yard Colonel dnve ~1th_ a plunge through the Red D~v1l lme for a to1;1chdown. The d:1v~ came after vy11ikes had held D1ckm~on on the eight after center Durbm Wagner had blocked a punt. The game had opened with Wilkes launching an early drive. The Colonels took the Red Devil kickoff on the 25 and returned it 30 yards to the Dickinson 45. A series of line plays took the ball deep into Dickinson territory but the drive was stopped when fullback Bob McNutt intercepted a Colonel pass on the 25. The game was played in a slight driz.z le that turned into a steady downpour in the final period. The Wilkes touchdown drive in the second period was the only sustained drive that either team was able to mount throughout the game. The second half saw both clubs bog down and exchange punts near the midfield marker. The only casualty of the game was Colonel guard Don Eller who suffered a slight concussion in the final period and was kept in the Carlisle General Hospital overnight for observation. Don, however, will be able to play in tomorrow's game with the Haverford Mainliners.

Time·for Pictures Altered Contrary to previously announced plans, seniors may make their own picture appointments at .the Ace Hoffman Studios, West Market Street (VA 3-6177). This system will facilitate arrangements for all involved. The studio can take appointments from 9 through 5 daily. Sittings will take no longer than fifteen minutes. Seniors must have had their pictures taken by the Thanksgiving recess. This change in plans has been made primarily to accomodate the variant senior schedules; it is hoped that the seniors will take advantage of this change and will have their pictures taken as soon as possible. The price of the sitting is $3.00; this price will be applied to the total cost of the picture order if the order totals ten dollars or more. A schedule of club pictures will be placed on the main bulletin board near the Cafeteria entrance. All club pictures will be taken in the gym, unless the club is notified otherwise. Club presidents are urged to check this schedule ' and to notify their club members of the date and time of the picture. ************************ TONY'S S.

Dr. Michelini stated, "One of the things that every student should learn is that the sciences are not a static thing to be learned once and for all, but a continually growing thing in' which new:, developments r equire periodic overhauls of _ our ways of looking at, ind understanding: the world and universe _around u s. One of the , niost important thi~gs that a ·young person cah learn in school is the necessity of keeping up with his - field, and probably the most important things that such a young person can learn are the m_e thods of , study and the habit of study which make it possible for him to do so." Michelini -pointed out that research experience has an important influence upon the undergraduate student. H e stated that our goals should be a shift in emphasis from acquired knowledge and techniques as-· an end in itself to its proper role · as means to an · end and the inculcating of an awareness of the · static nature of our knowledge. Dr. Francis J. Michelini . Michelini told ·the group that · y Wilkes has approached this problem by stimulating faculty research a!1d en~ouraging students to part~c1pate m or select a research proJ0 ect.
