To celebrate the Orchestra's season, Miss Jennie Toure! will sing Ravel's "Scheherazade." "One of the top four recitalists singing in the United States today and probably the most versatile"thus has Miss Toure! been referred to by Time magazine. After starring in the Opera-Comique in Paris for several years, she came to this country in 1942 and was chosen by Arturo Toscanini to open the 100th anniversary year of the New York Philharmonic in the lead role of Juliet in Berlioz' symphony, "Romeo and Juliet." This Carnegie Hall performance preceded Miss Tourel's appearance as soloist with Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony and Stokowski and the NBC Symphony. She has since been selected by various composers, from Stravinsky to Bernstein, to premiere their current compositions. Monday night's performance of "Scheherazade" at the Irem Temple will be repeated by Miss Toure! later in the year with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein.

Next Wednesday is the night at Catlin Hall. Bring your beer mugs and get ready to take part in the best party of the year from 8 to 12. No admission will be charged. It's free! Due to the success of last year's Near Bier Brawl, Catlin Hall and Gore Hall have decided to give everyone another chance to "let off steam" before the holidays. (This means you!) As you enter the bar room through the swingin' doors, you can dance to the music of the Ambassadors. Colored lights and a dice table will add to the theme. Anyone under 21 (not having proper I.D. cards) will be asked to enter through the back door. The fellows from Gore Hall, under the supervision of Paul Aquilino, will run the bar to which, we hope, you will make many trips to quench your thirst. Catlin waitresses will carry trays of snacks to feed the hungry guests. Ellie Nielsen and Ronald Ciccone are the general chairmen. Plans were started before Homecoming in hopes of making this year's party outdo last year's. Pat Schwartz is in charge of decorations. Peggy Churchill and Bob Amey will be stationed at the front door to check for I.D. cards. So, put on your "dancin' best" and come with beer mug in hand to Catlin Hall on Nov. 22 and, "have a blast!"

Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Wilkes College president, will moderate a panel consisting of Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman, Wilkes College Political Science Department ; Hon. J. Harold Flannery, Judge, Luzerne County Cour t of Common Pleas; Hon. Benjamin R. Jones, P ennsylvania Supreme Court Judge ; and Attorney Peter Paul Olszewski, City Solicitor of Wiikes-Barre. Subject of Sunday's t elecast in "The Maintenance and Extension of Constitutional Government Responsible to the P eople". The series of panel discussions was suggested recently by an article in a national magazine by Clinton Rossiter, in which he declared, "A s·e nse of mission has been a national necessity. The world, w e must think, would be in a far different and unhappier situation today if there had never been a United States . . . . If we think that, we must also· think it will be a far different and unhappier situation in 25, or 50 or 100 years unless the United States survives and flourishes." In the originating telecast of the series, panelists concluded that freedom can be maintained only when people of diverse backgrounds, interests and beliefs are united by their acceptance of a common purpose; that the fanatical deter mination of the Communists to "bury us" requires a clear understanding of our National Purpose. If we are to survive and prosper, we must match their fanaticism with mature conviction. Assuredly, this r equires sense of mission and sureness of purpose. Sunday, the panel will discuss one purpose that it believes essential to freedom - "The Maintenance and Extension of Constitutional Government Responsible to the P eople". The panel will answer the following questions : What is meant by constitutional government; Should constitutional government alwa ys be responsible to the public will; How can we mainta in responsibility to the people ; How is a written constitution kept abreast of changing times? Dr. Farley declared recently, "We are convinced that the maintenance and extension of constitutional governments responsible to the people are necessary and legitimat e purposes of the American people. Governments of this type satisfy the great aspirations of mankind even though they may place upon the people r esponsibilities for which many are ill prepared. We must always remember that fre edom exists only for those who are ready to carry responsibilty. As Benjamin Franklin said long a g o, 'Those who sacrifice freedom for security will ultimately lose both."

JXXXXXXXXXXXXIIXIXIIIIXI Letters to the Editor ... XIIIIIJXIJIIIXIIXXXXJXIJ Dear Sir : Toda y we r ead a very appalling letter, published in the Beacon. The letter concer ned the Sophomore Class m eeting of November 8. The purpose of our letter is to answer a f ew of Miss Ania Symmon's questions, questions which are probably puzzling others at this time. Firstly, if Miss Symmons would have taken a closer look at the group attending the class meeting, she would have noticed that there were over 100 students in attendance, 126 to be exa ct (not "50 or 60"). This group represented approximately 50 per cent of our class, which, in our opinion, is an excellent r epresentat ion at a nonrequired class m eeting. The next order of business is to answer the questions set forth by Miss Symmons. The first is "Did we consider the benefits which the student body, as a whole, will derive?" This is very simply answer ed. The only benefit the student body, as a whole, can derive, is from a good, well planned concert. Presenting the best possible concert is not only a goal of the class, but also a responsibility of the class. When the Sophomore Class submitted a plan for a jazz concert, they did so with the intent of pres enting a concert which will bring the greatest degree of pleasure to all who attend this event. Miss Symmons' second question is, "Did we try to benefit the college as a whole?" If your guestion is to be interpretted as meaning that the collaboration of both classes could be more benefiicial to the school, again allow us to correct you. We fail ' to see any way in which the school or our class would benefit by joining forces with the Junior Class. As someone with a ver y exuberant wit once said, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." Respectfully yours, Owen Frances Parliamentarian, Sophomore Class · Brent O'Connell President, Sophomore Class :~ * * Editor Wilkes College Beacon Mr. Editor: Last Saturday I witnessed one of the most appalling sights I have seen in a long time. Because I .usually work Saturdays, I have been unable to attend the Wilkes football games. However, having last Saturday off, I attended the Wilkes-Haverford game. Well, Mr. Pinkowski and the football team were there; Mr. Weed and the band were there; the cheerleaders, the majorettes, and the Kick Line attended; the faculty and the administration were well represented; there were some Cub Scouts from the Kingston area at the game ; and, oh yes, there were a few Wilkes students among the spectator s too. I realize that many students work Saturdays and, therefore, cannot attend the football games. But what about the rest of the students? The dorm students, who are supposedly the backbone of school spirit, were conspicuous at last Saturday's game largely for their absence. Moreover, there are many day students who do not work on Saturday. Where were they? I have no doubt that, if the Wilkes team had won its first few g ames instead of losing them, these same students who were too busy to attend last Saturday's game would have been there sporting their Wilkes jackets and, in general, strutting around like proud peacocks. But, because the Wilkes football t eam has been in a slump, most of the students did not have time to attend last Saturday's game. It is when the chips are down that a football t eam or any other team for that matter needs the support of the st udent body most. Perhaps, if our football team had had this support, they would have fared better this season. School spirit is -important. If the students get behind their football I Teachers Renew Educational Problem I Last :veek's walkout by 4,600 teachers in New York City once agam brought to the surface the question of whether or not it is legal or even "proper" for members of _the teaching profession to resort to the strike as a means of obtaining better working conditions. The legality of the question seems to be clear cut. A federal law, the Condon-Wadlin Act provides for the suspension of civil service strikers, with three-year forfeiture of pay raises and fiveyear loss of job tenure of job protection. This law was not enforced in the New York strike, largely because it is generally regarded as being overly severe and unrealistic. To further point up the illegality of the strike, organized labor made it clear that they disapproved of the walkout. The National Education Association also condemned the strike as a demonstration of "unprofessional conduct." _ The propriety of such action also seems in doubt, although this would no doubt be staunchly defended by the American Federation of Teachers who organized the strike. · The failure of the New York strike cannot be considered victory or defeat for either the teachers themselves or New York's City Hall. The fact that such action was taken by a body of teachers points up all the more the facts that: (1) the teaching profession, as a whole, is grossly underpaid, (2) school reform plans which call for scholars in the sciences, social studies, and the humanities, can and will not succeed if suh scholars cannot be swayed from high-paying markets, such as industry, and (3) organizations such as the American Federation of Teachers, and the National Education Association have been recruiting members at a terrific pace. If the teaching situation does not improve - and quickly it is possible that these groups may continually resort to such measures as those exhibited in New York City. A national trend of this sort could move the American educational system toward the final, intolerable result - federal control. team and all the other org anizations on campus and give these groups their full support, both Wilkes Colleg e and the students themselves will profit.

At 6 a.m., November 1, it arrived in Sommerville, Tennessee in the heart of Fayette County. An independent group of students traveled to Fayette County to deliver the food to Negro citizens, black listed by Fayette County merchants for their attempts to register and vote in the 1960 elections, and to gather information and films on the situation there for presentation to the nation's students. During the trip, they were stopped by the Fayette County sheriff who told them, "We don't want you hanging around," were met in neighboring Haywood County' by the sheriff there who escorted them back to the county line, and were accosted by the White Citizens Council who forced them to take dirt roads into Memphis. The students were Gavin MacFayden, former Shimer College student who drove the truck, and Chicago students Bill Hard, Mark Eastman, Kevin Krown, Ed Cohn, and Len Levin. Their account of conditions in Sommerville follows. "We were able to travel around the town while we were there and see the effects of the 'economic squeeze" on the Negroes of the town. Those people who had registered to vote in the coming election, some 1500, were denied all credit iri the town, and many ·had been refused food and clothing although they were willing to purchase them in ·the town's stores; Stores owned by Negroes were unable to purchase supplies from their u·s ual · wholesalers. · ·"Although food has .been coming from the North and from stores in Memphis, there is a severe lack of food in the county. The real prob!em is yet to come. As the crops come in, Negro sharecroppers and tenant farmers are being thrown off their land. There are very few legal .docurrients · or contracts to protect these farmers. The few contracts ·which do exist will terminate on January 1, and the.. small amount of existing credit necessary to people .who live without money uritil their crops come in . will be stopped. "John McFerrin, head of the Fayette County Civic and Welfare League of Sommerville, is storing food for what he foresees as 'difficult times to come'. McFerrin also is setting up tents as temporary housing for those Negroes who have been removed from their homes and 'still have enough strength to stay around for election day.' McFerrin hopes they will all stay and 'use the right they are fighting to gain." "One of the Negro farmers who has moved into a tent had previously been sharecropping on a farm owned by another Negro. The Negro landowner, a school teacher in Fayette County, was pressured into removing his tenant because the tenant had registered. Many of the residents had tried to register and were unsuccessful. Economic pressure has also been used against those who unsuccessfully attempted to register. "The medical clinics in Fayette County have stopped treating Negro patients. They had at first refused to treat only those who had registered and their families. At this time they will not treat any Negro patient and no doctors are available to Negroes in the county. One registered Negro could not even find a doctor to pronounce his just deceased father dead. "It is the opinion of some white people in the county that the 'pressure is being exerted by three people who control the county. They are supposedly a doctor, a lawyer, and a banker.' Nobody knows how much truth there is in this specu!ation.''

Madrigal Singers Plan Christmas Programs Discusses Carmval by Bonnie Jenkins The Student Government plans to strengthen its policy concerning the scheduling of school events. This was announced at the Student Government meeting of November 7. To insure a smooth functioning social calendar, Bill Davis suggested that activity and chaperone forms be distributed to campus organizations when they receive their calendar dates. Action on this projected policy change will be taken at the next meeting. A second policy change was put into effect. Jim Walters called attention to the waste and expense caused by the indiscriminate use of the ditto machine and paper supplies. A motion was made and carried whereby the Student Government shall charge twenty cents per ditto per fifty copies of all dittos. All transactions must be paid on a cash basis. This fee will not result in any profit, but will help defray operating expenses. Jan Bronson reported that the School Spirit Committee plans to organize Christmas caroling for the coming holiday season. The Student Government feels that the possibility of holding a Winter Carnival is growing dim. Ralph Pinsky announced that thus far he has been unable to find a site for the carnival. Al Kishel reported that the campus contributed $1154 to the United Fund. The Student Government acknowledged his fine work as chairman of the drive. Second Semester Applications for National Defense Loans Available Sudents desiring a National Defense Student Loan for the spring semester of the 1960°61 academic year may pick up their applications on the first floor of Chase Hall before December 16. Freshmen who were granted loans prior to coming to college may pick up their checks for the second semester at the finance office after January 3. Any full time student in good academic standing and in need of a loan to continue his education is eligible regardless of any other aid he may be receiving. Dean's Tea for All Women To Be Held in Commons by Leona A. Baiera The Dean's Tea, a new function on campus, will be held for ALL the women of Wilkes on December 4 from 2 to 5 p.m., upstairs in the Commons. This tea was initiated by Miss Beryl Cole, Dean of W omen, with the assistance of a committee of girls from Theta Delta Rho. Merle Benish, sophomore Elementary Education major, is chairman of the committee for the tea which is for all day and dormitory students. About 400 girls are expected. Mrs. Farley and other women faculty members have been asked to pour tea. Background music will be provided for this Sunday afternoon function. This will be an opportune time to wear your "Sunday best" and enjoy talking with and meeting other women students on campus. Northeastern Regional Meeting of ICG Plans Model Legislature for Spring A student may borrow up to $1,000 in one academic year and up to $5,000 during the entire course of his higher education. The repayment period of the loan begins one year after the borrower ceases to be a full time student and must be completed within ten years. No interest on the loan may accrue prior to the beginning of the repayment period. Interest thereafter is at the rate of 3 per cent per year. The borrower's obligation to repay the loan is to be cancelled in the event of his death or permanent or total disability. Student borrowers who become full time teachers in public schools need not repay 10 per cent of their loan plus interest for each academic year of teaching service up to 50 per cent of the loan. The loan may be repaid in less than ten years if the student so desires. Although loans are available to all students, special consideration will be given to students with a superior academic background who expect to teach in the public schools or whose backgrounds indicate superiority in science, engineering, mathematics, or a modern foreign language. The possibilities of s,e curing a loan for the second semester are very good for any student who meets the above criteria. The college feels at the present time that no student needs to obtain a loan from private sources if the student's financial need can be determined and if he has a good academic record. Clinic Explains New Tax Laws Betsy Hoeschele, permanent chairman of the college's ICG chapter and last year's Northeast Pennsylvania Regional Secretary, is shown, above, speaking at Sunday's regional meeting.

Stark Hall will be the scene of the clinic to be held Friday and Saturday, December 2 and 3. Approximately 1,200 invitations have been sent to public accountants, trust officers of various banks, and attorneys throughout Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. The purpose of the clinic is to explain new tax laws that have been passed during 1960. Experts from Philadelphia, New York, and this area who are qualified in this field will discuss traveling and entertainment expenses in relation to income tax deductions, partnership termination, organization and acquisition of a corporation, employee benefit plans, and deferred compensation, and recent developments of estate planning.

November 18, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Boaters Lose Closer To F & M, 2-0 Basketball Home Opener Dec. 1 Against Albright; Roski and Gavenas Named Co-Captains of Squad With time running out on the fall sports activities, the resounding thumping of basketballs on the hardwood floors of the gymnasium gives ample notice to Colonel fans that the basketball team is preparing to assume its reign over the sports scene. The '60-'61 edition of the Wilkes basketball squad has been drilling for the past three weeks under the watchful eyes of coaches Ed Davis and Al Goldberg for the season's home opener against Albright on December 1. With the loss of Ray Yanchus, George Gacha, and Bernie Radecki through graduation, the Colonels will have to depend upon better ball handling to offset the loss of scoring power. Leading the hoopsters into the campaign will be co-captains Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas. Roski has been an outstanding performer for the Davismen for the past three seasons and will be called upon to lead the offense. Gavenas is a 6'-1" guard who specializes in the set shot and will be counted on to provide the Colonels with a seasoned ball handler. Bernie Kosch, John Salsburg, and Ed Kemps are the other senior members of the squad. Kosch, a 6'-6" center, has been very impressive in practice with his hook shots and rebounding. Salsburg is a hustling forward and is a leading candidate for the vacant corner position on the strength of his rebounding abilities and "squat shot" offense. The "road runner" of the team is Ed Kemps, 5'-9" guard. He is one of the top ball handlers and possesses a deadly jump shot. Tom Pugh and Phil Russo are the top candidates to battle the seniors for starting berths. Pugh has put on a few extra pounds which he uses to a good advantage under the boards. Russo, although only six feet tall, gives Bernie it's e1~Y P.V.P. to recognize true diamond value Even the boldest can become a bit bewildered when choosing a diamond engagement ring.

The curtain fell on the Wilkes Other returning veterans slated 1960 soccer season Saturday as to see a lot of action are John Franklin & Marshall edged out the Adams, George Tensa, C o n r a d Colonel hooters, 2-0, in Kirby Park. The first half of the game was Wagner, and Harvey Rosen. Adams scoreless with the Colonels threatening constantly but always lacking the "educated toe" to put the ball into scoring territory. Several shots by the Blue and Gold legmen bounced off the goal post and eluded the net. The first break in the contest came late in the third period when a missed kick by a Colonel backfield man put the ball into scoring position. Diplomat right wing Dan Juliard took advantage of the al- RINGS Beloved by brides for more than .100 years (1850-1960) most perfect setup and shot the ball past goalie Bob Ontko into the net. The Colonels came roaring back and appeared to have a sure goal on a left foot shot by Frank Lepore but the F & M goalie made an outstanding save to keep Wilkes from tying the match. The Diplomats got their second tally on a play that gave them an indirect kick at the Wilkes goal. Center halfback Kessler tapped the ball backward to Rossini who drove the ball into the net on a very hard, fast straight shot. Play ended with the Colonels threatening but unable to mount the offensive strength to score. Playboys, Ebonites Tie for Lead; Williams' 233-524 Sets Record Three 4-0 victories were registered in Sunday night's intramural bowling with. the Playboys and Ebonites defeating the Alley Cats and Tornadoes respectively, thereby gaining a tie for first place.

The gridders will be out to close on a winning note, hoping to make it three straight victories after defeating Dickinson and Haverford. The Blue and Gold were defeated in last year's contest between the two teams, 15-0. Earlier this season the Royals romped over King's College in the same stadium and since then have played an even .500 ball. The experts have picked Scranton as a two-touchdown favorite but the Colonels counting on the rW1ning of Antinnes and Krisulevicz and the strong defensive wall of the line, hope to hold the evenly balanced passing and rushing offense of Sccranton to a minimum and push across enough to win. Tomorrow's game will mark the final one in the college careers of three members of the team. Antinnes, Dobrowalski, and Spudis will all be lost to next year's team through graduation. Each one of these men has displayed fine, really excellent offensive and defensive work throughout the season and have consistently put forth their best efforts to help the Colonels' 1960 football campaign. · For the second consecutive week, Marv Antinnes, senior fullback of Coach Pinkowski's gridders, has been named the Beacon "Athlete of the Week" for his outstanding performance on the gridiron. "Mustang" Marv continued his workhorse role as he carried the ball 36 times for 175 yards, an average of 4.9 yards per carry, and scored two touchdowns. His ground-gaining and scoring feats against Haverford won him the nod of the press attending the game, whose nomination of him to the Eastern Collegiate A th 1 e ti c Conference (ECAC) All-East Team of the Week gained him that honor. Antinnes and Nick Alesandro, sophomore tackle, both earned national recognition for the performances they turned in during the game. Antinnes was named fullback of the ECAC All-East Team Marv is the first Colonel to have earned this honor of being named to the ECAC team. This hcnor is of particular significance when one considers that he beat out Al Rushatz of Army, Wally Pagan of undefeated Wagner, Sam Sobczak of Penn State, and Jim Cunningham of Pitt. If his ground-gaining of the past several weeks continues tomorrow against Scranton, he should make things difficult for Royal coach Pete Carlesimo's charges. "COKE" rs Haverford then took to passing to overcome their inability to penetrate the Colonel line and moved steadily up the field to the six from where fullback Bill Shermer scored the Mainliners' second touchdown Marv Antinnes A REGISTERED TRADE-MARK.

Northampton St•• Wilkes-Barre Al Dobrowalski of the Week and Alesandro was nominated for Sophomore of the Week and gained honorable mention on the All-East Team. Last Saturday the team erupted for its biggest offensive showing of the season as it ran amuck over Haverford College, 33-12, for its second win of the season. The Colonels scored in each quarter except the third and racked up 275 yards against the Mainliners. Antinnes continued his role of groundgaining workhorse as he picked up 175 yards and scored two touchdowns. Tom Krisulevicz gained 44 yards and scored two TD's while Paul Aquilino accounted for the final score and the three extra points via point-after-touchdown boots. Haverford took the Colonels' opening kickoff and after losing thirteen yards to the Wilkes defensive wall on three ground plays, was forced to punt. Wilkes then too:k over on its own 45 and with Antinnes doing the bulk of the ball carrying, got to the Mainliners' 19, from where Antinnes crashed his way through an opening in the Haverford left tackle and outran the Haverford secondary to score. Aquilino then added the p_o int after touchdown with a boot between the uprights. After the kickoff the Mainliners were again forced into a punting situation and the boot was· partially blocked by Colonel guard Frank Spudis, enabling the Colonels to take over control of the ball on the Haverford 35. With Mulford and Krisulevicz doing the carrying, Wilkes moved to the 24 before losing the ball on a fumble. Frank Spudis of the season. An attempted pass for the points after touchdown failed as it was blocked by Ray Marchakaitus. Three plays after the kickoff, Al Dobrowalski intercepted a Mainliner pass on the 46 and returned it to the 33 yard line to set the Colonel offense in motion again. Four plays later Kr i s u 1 e vi c z smashed over from the one to give the Colonels a 27-6 lead. · Aquilino's try for the extra point was blocked. Chuck Cherundolo later broke through the Mainliner defense to block a punt and gave Wilkes possession of the ball on Haverford's 14. Two plays later Aquilino faked a handoff to Antinnes through the middle of the line and pitched to Krisulevicz in the flat from where he dashed around end to score.

Now, it appears, Student Government has set up a committee to make a "last ditch" effort to obtain a site. For those who wonder how the present dilemma came about, an explanation is in order. The Winter Carnival has always proved to be a huge success each year since its inauguration. However, the past few years have been marred by small amounts of damage caused by students who couldn't contain the joy of having completed final exams. The owner of the establishment where the carnival had been held decided last . .

This is an unusual improvement because most of the people in villages and in towns cook on small charcoal-burners outdoors. The fuel used is a sun-baked cow-dung; the outside walls of almost every house and courtyard are covered with fresh cow-dung cakes plastered on the wall for drying. ,Occasionally dried grass or kerosene may also be used for fuel. The village diet is monotonous; a gruel made of parched gram flavored with salt and helped out with "chappatis" (pancakes of unleavened bread).

We were told that the village supports thirteen Mosques and fifteen m u 11 a h s (priests), this large number being due to the fact that several Moslem sects are represented in this village.

The Royals used two first period breaks and two final period drives to pound the hapless gridders. Although they were penalized 117 yards, Scranton had the punch to take advantage of fumbles and pass completions and have little trouble with an offensively weak Colonel eleven. The Colonels were hampered by a leg injury to Marv Antinnes which saw him in limited action in the second half. The opening kickoff by the Colonels was an attempted onside boot which went two yards and gave the Royals possession of the ball on the Wilkes 42 yard line. A series of ground plays got them to the two where the Colonel defense h eld, giving the Blue and Gold the ball on downs. Tom Krisulevicz's gain of seven yards in one play was futile as Wilkes was soon forced to punt. The boot was taken by Royal back Roy Davis on the Wilkes 42 from where he dashed down the sideline to score. The run for the extra point was blocked by Jim Brunza and Bob Herman. Later, a pass from center on a Colonel punting situation was low and the punt was never made. A Scranton punt shortly thereafter -was fumbled by Wilkes with the Royals recovering on the Colonel 35. Three plays later Davis picked up one of his team's fumbles on the Wilkes 42 and scored. The plunge for the extra points was blocked. The second and third periods were highlighted by Royal fumbles and penalties and Wilkes' only threat of the contest. Taking the Scranton kickoff to open the second half, Antinnes alternated the ballcarrying chores with quarterback Paul Aquilino to get to the Royal 41 from where Antinnes broke through the line and got to the eight. However, the drive halted on the one as Antinnes could pick up only two of the three yards needed on a fourth down situation. The fourth period opened with the Royals taking possession deep in Wilkes territory as another Colonel punt never got off the ground. Scranton quarterback John Wastak then completed a pass to halfback Vince Panette on the one from where h e stepped over for the touchdown. Later, Carl Rader intercepted a Colonel pass on the Wilkes 40 and again Wastak completed to Panette at the 30, with Panette getting to the 14 before being hauled down. The Royals managed to score shortly thereafter but were called back on a penalty and on fourth down quarterback Joe Murray completed a toss to George Brooks at the ten, from where he went over "COKE" IS A RE G IS TERED TRAOE•MARI<, COPYRIGHT@ 195B THE COCA-COLA COMPANY .

The game, played before a crowd of 750 at the South Franklin Street gym, saw the Albright Lions feature snappy ball handling and accurate passing as they led throughout most of the contest. Both teams started slow, but the Lions started to click late in the first half and at the half-time intermission had built up a 47-36 lead. Tom Pearsal, fiery Albright guard, took charge of the Lion scoring power as he dumped in 23 points in the first half. The Colonels stayed in the con- I test on the defensive play and rebounding of Bernie Kosch. The 6' 6" Colonel blocked five Lion scoring attempts and grabbed 11 rebounds in the first half while scoring eight points . Clem Gavenas added eleven points to the Wilkes cause with five set shots and a foul. The Colonels started fast in the second half and with Ed Kemps leading the way managed to narrow .the margin to five points midway in the stanza. The Lions came back and countered with Evans' five straight baskets to build up a comfortable lead once again. Although the team stopped Albright's Little All-American Dick Van Dine with five points, Pearsal and Evans took up the slack with 27 and 23 points respectively. Sommerstadt proved to be their top rebounder and added 19 points to their cause. Leading the Colonels was Gavenas with 22 ·points. Kemps, who played with his left ankle taped of an injury he received Wednesday, added 15 while Ron Roski and Bernie Kosch each had 12.

Th · • e mternsh1p lasts from February 1, 1961, until March 16. John J. Chwalek, placement offleer, announced that the following have been accepted: William Van Fossen, James Skesavage, Martha Menegus, Charles Keast, Maurice James, Fred Pello, William Morris, Christopher Loesch, Joseph Zielinsski, Irving Moses, John Rinko, Joseph Chisarick, and John Lehet. It has been the custom for some years past for accounting firms which are represented in major cities throughout the country to make an annual visit to the Wilkes campus for the purpose of interviewing those seniors interested in making accounting their career. Those selected are sent into the field and are paid a salary during their internship. After this practical experience, many are given permanent positions. The current list of interns will begin their practical training program in New York, Chicago, Newark, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre. Companies participating in the program include Laventhal and Krekstein, Baron Strassman and Abraham Marcus, of Wilkes-Barre; Jack Yanover, Scranton; Haskin and Sells, Burdman and Cranston Price Waterhouse, Peat, Marw1'ck' and Mitchell, all of New York· Price Waterhous'e, Chicago· and Price Waterhouse, Newark. ' Insofar as accounting as a career is concerned, Mr. Chwalek reports the field "wide open". "There is a crying need for trained accountants not only public accounting but i~ the fields of government and industry.

Many residents living in this area have already complained-and justly so-to the Administration about cars being parked in private driveways and lots, and also in front of these areas, thus blocking the entrances. These people have tried to be tolerant, but no doubt this situation has caused much hardship to them. Now, action must be taken. It will be much easier for everyone concerned, if students and those attending functions at the gymnasium would be considerate enough to use the meter stalls on the streets, the college parking lots, or other commercial parking lots in the vicinity. Since the Wilkes-Barre police have been alerted to the situation, a little consideration and patience on YOUR part will save YOU the price of a fifteen dollar towing fee. Let's have no more announcements over the gym's public address system concerning cars illegally parked. The Golden Rule is not an idealistic rule. It can still apply to practical situations; such as illegal parking. Tuhy Joins Slaff On New Project by Wayne Thomas Dr. Farley announced recently the appointment of Philip R.

While a r esident of Hollywood, Mrs. Pauker was employed by McArthur High School as principal's secretary and office manager. Upon leaving Florida two months ago Mrs. Pauker "sorely missed the friendships of her 'southern years'." She f eels that her homesickness will soon leave her, however, because of her warm, cordial introduction to our campus. Mrs. Pauker is impressed with Clewell's "pleasant personality and extensive on-the-job training in the public relations field." · Her professional philosophy can be summed up in her desire to aid Clewell in his program of public relations calculated to raise Wilkes in the eyes of the community and the world. In addition to the duties eng endered by her career, Mrs. Pauker has found time to :keep a house and raise a family. She presently resides with her family at 36 Irving Street, Wilkes-Barre. She has two sons, David, 19, a sophomore at the University of Florida and Andy, 10, a student at Lafayette Elementary School in Wilkes-Barre.

She is in Pakistan with her husband, Dr. Vujica, who is studying the Hindu and Moslem religions.) Every household gives a t enth of every crop to the mullah. Most of what was left used to go to the moneylenders who charged as much as 70 per cent interest. Now the government has established village co-operatives which charge only 12 per cent interest. Our host is the chairman of that agency, too. We saw many i n t e r e s t i n g branches of home-industry. An old man displayed his weaving art with great pride and joy. One young woman, wearing jewelry in her nose and many bracefets on her wrist and ankles - like almost every woman in Punjab - showed us her skill at "charka", Gandhi's beloved spinning w h e e I. Her kitchen had some shiny brassware on the shelves, even a wooden butter-churner, and a rice storagetank built on the wall to protect the rice from termites. We also saw at work an oil press, the rice mill, the open oven where they made popcorn for us, the "Chuka", the grindstone for wheat and rice, a tailor's shop where men were sewing sitting cross-legged on the flooi'. Occupations in villages are for the most part hereditary, each village having its hereditary farmers who till the soil, blacksmith who sharpens plows and repairs domestic utensils, the carpenter, the potter, washman, barber, weaver, and the winnower. An interesting and rather romantic figure is the village minstrel or piper, who figures pr ominently on such festive occasions as marriages. Marriages are expensive events for the villager, for his social status and prestigethe proverbial oriental face-saving -depends on the food and entertainment he provides. In the view of the grinding poverty of the Indian peasant it is rather interesting to note that he is quite a cheerful fellow who likes fun of every kind and seems to derive pleasure from what seems a drab existence. Going from one home to another we had to cross the open drainage which runs through the middle of every street. As it had not rained since August, and as this part of the Punjab is flat, the refuse in this canal does not move. Thousands of fllies congregate between the drainage and the food openly displayed on the road in front of the stores, or in the courtyards being prepared for meals.

The decorations, favors, guest book, publicity and many other details were responsibly and efficiently handled. The Head Residents of the dormitories worked cheerfully and creatively in preparing the attractive sandwiches. Mr. Jervis and his crew willingly worked after hours to make the room ready. -Mr. Denion and his staff gave a ssistance with their customary helpfulness far beyond the call of duty. Mr. Clewell arranged splendid publicity and planned the photography with care. Mary Ann Kachmar, Janet Rinehimer and Jean Ann McMahon added much to the festive atmosphere with their background music. Our special appreciation is sent to Mr. Detroy, also, for arranging for this contribution. Dr. Jessee very capably supervised the supply of t ea a:nd the s·p an of pour ing by each of the faculty members.

Wilkes, trailing 41-27 at halftime, struggled to close the gap between the two teams during the final 20 minutes and on the scoring of Ron Roski and Bernie Kosch managed to tie the score, 63-63, in the final minute. The Blue and Gold scored on a free throw and shortly thereafter the Indians regained the lead on a field goal only to see Wilkes ice the game seconds later on Morgan's basket. Ron Roski led the Colonels with 21 points while Long accounted for 16 for Juniata. Roski and Bernie Kosch combined to account for 34 rebounds between them to lead the team in that department. Face Scranton, Susquehanna and r Ithaca in Three Game Home Stand, Defeat Juniata and Lycoming Ron Roski's salient performance in leading the Colonels to a comefrom-behind triumph over a taller Juniata squad has earned him laurels as this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". He ripped the nets with a 21 point outburst while pulling in 16 rebounds in the team's squeaker win over the Indians. In spite of the opponents' tight defense, the 6'4" senior cornerman spearheaded Coach Eddie Davis' charges with his agile jump shots, nimble lay-ups and foul shots.

He was outstanding on defense, his aggressive rebounding thwarted many scoring attempts by the baffled opponents. Although seemingly small for a top-rebounder in college ball, he possesses great jumping power and the speed n ecessary for all-around outstanding play. One of his greatest accomplishments has been in overcoming the pressure which came to bear upon him as h e succeeded Wilkes' alltim e Mr. Basketball, George Morgan, in the pivot post. With two full seasons as the Colonels' scoring leader under his belt, he has established himself as one of the greater Colonels on the hardwoods. A 1953 graduate of Plymouth High School, he lettered in football and basketball. While at Plymouth h e gained honorable mention on the all-scholastic football team and was a member of the Wyoming Valley Basketball All-Star Team. After graduation from high school, he enlisted in the army and spent three years working for Uncle Sam before entering Wilkes in 1957 to seek a degree in secondary education. H e has been a member of the Shawneeites' intramural championship teams for the past three seasons and is an active member of the Lettermen's Club. Next week the basketball team takes on three teams in six days in a grueling home stand just prior to the Chrishnas holidays. Tomorrow they face Ithaca College at 8 p.m.. in the gym and take on the Royals of Scranton University at eight on Monday evening. The Colonels had two games with Scranton last season, winning the first, 87-76, while losing the second a week later, 96-87. The final game of the three is on Thursday evening against the Crusaders of Susquehanna University. Coach Eddie Davis' cagers downed the Crusaders last seas.o n, 73-66. The Susquehanna team was defeated in its first outing of this season, 63-49, by the Owls of Temple University, a perennial eastern basketball power. The team pushed its season record to two wins and one loss Wednesday as it defeated Lycoming College, 73-70. The Colonels staved off a late Warrior rally in the second half and dumped in three consecutive baskets in the last three minutes to win the game. The smoothly functioning Blue and Gold machine had a comfortable halftime lead of 41-27, but the determined Warriors ground away at the lead and had chewed it down to a 63-63 tie with only three minutes left in the game. It was then that the quick scoring push of the Colonels won them the contest. The Colonels took an early lead on the accurate shooting of guards Clem Gavenas and Harvey Rosen and the rebounding of Ron Roski, Bernie Kosch, and Tom Pugh. Gavenas scored eight points in the opening half on set shots and Rosen added eight on jump shots to keep the Warrior defense off balance. Sharp playmaking and -p assing prevailed as Pugh and Gavenas added to the Lycoming dismay with their antics. Pugh was especially strong in the assist department and led the Wilkes rebounders with eight in the opening half and nine in the second.

Bill Kauffman led the assault as he registered 14 points on left-handed hook shots. The ball handling of Jim Heintz and Boyd was also outstanding in the rally. With the score tied at 65-65, Pugh and Dick Morgan came through with timely steals of the ball to set up Gavenas and Roski with lay-up shots on fast breaks. With only a minute to go and possessing a 73-70 lead, the Colonel combination of Rosen, Gerko, Morgan, Pugh, and Gavenas froze the ball and won the game. Leading Wilkes was Gavenas with 20 points.

The principal speaker of the meeting was Daniel Connolly, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, in Harrisburg. The meeting was sponsored for the benefit of local Luzerne County officials. Mr. Connolly spoke on "FederalState Funds for Mine Drainage." In connection with the tremendous interest generated about the mine drainage program and the possibility of using nine million dollars in surplus funds to carry out the project, the deputy secretary of mines discussed and explained the program in detail. Local officials were concerned as to whether some strip mining operations could not be back-filled, utilizing the surplus funds to carry out the work. Mr. Connolly spoke on this phase of the overall project and answered questions pertaining to the perplexing problem. Mr. Connolly began his work with the Department of Mines and Minerals Resources twenty-two years ago as a mine inspector. Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the College Political Science Department, and director of Institute of Municipal Government, was chairman of the meeting. Chicago Holiday Center Plans Season Program For Foreign Students by Jerry Shilanski The Chicago Holiday Center for International Students has extended an invitation to students here at the college to visit Chicago during the Christmas vacation.

The Hospitality Center also provides year-round services to foreign students throughout the country. The facilities of the ninth annual Holiday Center are free of charge and will be available from 10:00 a.m. until 8 :00 p.m. beginning Tuesday, December 20 through Saturday, December 31, with the exception of Christmas Day when the visiting students will be invited ECONOMICS CLUB as guests in Chicago homes.

I I All-College Dance Monday, Dec. 23rd by Neil Castagnaro On Friday, December 30th, the Student Government will again sponsor the annual All-College Christmas Dance which will be held in the gymnasium from 9 p.m. to 12 midnight. Invitations have been extended to colleges throughout the East, and a large crowd is anticipated. Wilkes students will have an opportunity to reunite with their friends who have been attending schools away from home and are now visiting their homes for the holiday season. The music will be provided by a local orchestra whose services are provided at no cost by the local chapter of the Musicians' Union. Carol Thomas, president of Theta Delta Rho, is chairman of the affair. She announced that the Collegians will be featured during the intermission with a performance of appropriate seasonal, secular, and sacred music. All are invited to this gala affair; admission is free. Young Democrats Plan Yule Dance The Young Democrats of Luzerne County will sponsor a Christmas Social at the Victory Room of the Hotel Redington on Monday, December 26, from 9 until 1. Music will be furnished by the Dukes. Admission to this affair will be 75 cents and refreshments will be served. Tickets may be purchased from Cathy Brominski or at the door. Co-chairmen of this affair are Eileen Moran and Clarke Kushke. Invitations have been sent to other local colleges, nursing schools, and various local business and professional organizations. by Gloria Zaludek We will have our Winter Carnival! The Student Government held a special meeting last Monday at 5:00 p.m., at which time a vote of 9-1-1 was received in favor of having the Carnival. The Inn at Buckhill Falls will be the site of this year's mid-term holiday outing. Although the Inn has excellent indoor and outdoor facilities, Mr. Bob Morris, who represented the administration at the meeting, informed the Student Government of the following rules which must be followed. In order for the Carnival to be approved by the administration, the Student Government must submit a planned program of the day's activities. This is to insure the proper conduct of those attending. One stipulation of the program is that there will be no alcoholic beverages served or allowed on the premises. Anyone violating this rule is threatened with expulsion from school. At Monday's meeting the members also approved two activities forms. The first was for the IDC Christmas Party on December 15 in the Commons from 9-12 p.m., and the second for the Economics Club Dance tonight in the gym from 9-12 p.m. Several activity and chaperon forms have been submitted late. Student Government reminds all clubs that these forms must be submitted two weeks before the planned event. Failure to follow this necessary rule may result in suspension of the activity or cancelation of future activities. Some of the selections to be presented include three Sp an i sh Christmas carols of the sixteenth century, "Cantemus Domino," by Sidney Nicholson, "The Stable Door," by C. Armstrong Gibbs, and "I'll Go to Bethlehem," a Czechoslovakian carol. A madrigal is a four-part form of song always performed a capella (without musical accompaniment). Songs for Madrigal singing were written in great abundance in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries. Some compositions of this nature are written today along more modern lines. The Madrigal Singers have already given two Christmas concerts at the Shavertown M et ho di st Church and at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Members of the group include: sopranos, Patricia Lutz, Sallie Price, Mary Jean Sakoski, Nancy Thomas, and Carolyn Warren; altos, Christine Bialogawicz, Bonnie Jenkins, Sharon Key, and Beverly Major; tenors, Robert Eike, Raymond Nutaitis, Walter Umla, and Merritt Wheeler; basses, David Jones, Donald Jones, Richard Probert, and Edward Yadzinski.

Since most of the dorm students will be leaving for home by car today or else getting a "hop" with other students, this editorial is directed mainly toward them. However, a glance at some of the safe driving tips listed below and observance of them by ALL students who drive would be a wise thing to do if you expect to see your college friends again on January 3rd. Here are some words of wisdom to help combat the dangerous effects of the holiday mood, increased darkness, and unsafe weather conditions. Holiday Mood Stay alert. Don't become so preoccupied with merry making that you go into a holiday haze. Keep your wits about you whenever you're in traffice - on foot or in a car. Don't venture into the street - walking or driving - if you've drinking. At parties and other holiday gatherings, arrange rides for guests who have been drinking. Darkness When you drive, darkness is a signal to reduce speed and increase watchfulness. Be sure all lights are in good working condition. When you walk, darkness gives the same warning . . . to proceed more cautiously and to be more alert. Remember, motorists can't see you in the dark. Wear light-colored clothing, especially when walking on rural roads. Weather Bad weather is another condition which means SLOW DOWN! Reduced speed is your best weapon against snow and rain or muddy or icy pavements. Use tire chains when pavements are snowy or icy. At 20 m. p.h. it takes a car without chains 69 feet to stop on packed snow. With chains on rear wheels the car can stop in 40 feet. On glazed ice tire chains make a difference of 81 feet in the stopping point. If ycm must drive on slippery surfaces without chains, keep an even pressµre on the accelerator. Taking the foot off the pedal suddenly and braking quickly is likely to cause a skid. Always be on the lookout for ice patches on seemingly dry pavements. Ice patches are particularly treacherous beyond hillcrests, around curves, on bridges and in shaded spots. Keep the windshield clear at all times. Do not allow ice and snow to accumulate on windows, especially on rear windows. Carry an ice scraper to clear off ice and snow that cannot be removed by a windshield wiper. All of the preceding thoughts merit particular attention in view of the hazardous driving conditions which now exist. Stay alert and you will stay alive. The holiday season will be much more enjoyable if a little care is exercised when driving a car. Dear Editor: Through this letter I would like to express my thanks to an unknown Campus Santa Claus who showed the true spirit of giving on Monday by giving me an early Christmas present. It is one that I had hoped for and one that many told me I needed, but one that I had neither the time nor the ambition to do or to obtain myself. With ten inches of snow on the ground and the thermometer hovering sixteen degrees, I was told that I had been the recipient of a "free" car wash. Curiously I went out to inspect the job, not knowing what I would find. Sure enough, there next · to Chase Hall stood my 1958 Chevrolet sparkling as the newfallen snow. Someone somehow (I was told by Santa's helper who was shoveling the sidewalk) had mistaken my car for his and had driven it to the garage and had it washed as his own. I would like to take this opportunity, Mr. Campus Santa Claus, to thank you and to wish you and the entire student body a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely yours, Robert B. Morris P.S.-lf you will come forward and let me know who you are, I will be more than happy to reimburse you for the wash job. Manuscript Deadline Set For Early February; Four Films to Be Shown All students planning to submit contributions to the Manuscript are urged to use the Christmas vacation to do the final polishing on the works that they wish to submit. This may be the last opportunity to finish any manuscripts since the deadline for contributions has been set for early in February, and students are often caught in the lastminute squeeze during finals. Students are reminded that this year the Manuscript Association will award prizes for the most outstanding entries in the fields of the essay, the short story, poetry, and art.

' · apers on ergy ro ems · Two Wilkes professors will read papers at a forthcoming meeting of The American Academy of Allergy in Washington, D.C., according to Dr. Eugene S. Farley. They are Dr. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, both associate professors, Department of Biology of the College. Both men have been notified by the American Academy of Allergy that they will read their respective papers before the scientific session of the academy to be held in Statler Hilton Hotel February 6, 7, and 8, 1961. Dr. Michelini will report on "Histochemical Studies on the Ragweed Pollen Grain in Evaluation of Extracting Procedures." The biology professor joined the faculty in 1955 and teaches comparative anatomy, embryology, and histology. He received his B.S. degree at Seton Hall University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at University of Delaware and University of Pennsylvania, respectively. He is the author of a number of articles published by the American Journal of Botany and other medi- cal publications. Dr. Cohen's paper discusses "reactions of tissue sensitization". He joined the faculty as associate professor of biological research in 1957. Attending Syracuse University and Ohio State University, Dr. Cohen received his Bachelor of Arts Degree. At the College of Medicine, New York University, he received his M.D. degree, and interned at Bellevue Hospital, New York. He is chief of allergy, Mercy Hospital, and attending physician in allergy, V.A. Hospital. A Fellow in American College of Allergists, American Academy of Allergy, Academy of International Medicine and New York Ac a de my of Sciences, Dr. Cohen is also the author of many articles published in medical journals. Students Favor Multiple Terms; Financial Problems Cited In a recent article appearing in this paper, the advantages of a multiple semester system were discussed. We asked that students respond with their opinions on the possibilities of such a program being initiated here at the college. The following quotes were solicited from students. Howard Hall, senior, Political Science "From an economic standpoint, it would be very beneficial because students could finish school much sooner, giving them an opportunity to begin earning a living earlier in life. It would also make it possible for students to attend college, and it would probably . help to make more courses available, particularly in the summ'e r session." Gary DeHope, junior, Education "It would get more students through college in shorter time, therefore making it possible for those' who would be deprived of the opportunity a chance to get in." Jerome Krasa, junior, Political Science "A 1th o ugh a four-semester three-year program would make it possible for students to enter and leave school at more frequent intervals to meet their financial needs, this program would necessitate offering courses such as those in the languages more often than present. This would have to result in an increased cost which a school such as Wilkes might not be able to meet without government assistance." Barbara Gallagher, freshman, Liberal Arts "If Wilkes is willing to make the costly and time-consuming changes to adopt a new semester program, it should adopt the four-semester program, for that one will probably be requested or required in a few years due to its greater efficiency. This program would necessitate much expansion and development at Wilkes, which is always a move in the right direction." Patricia Boyle, senior, A.B. in English "I would be happy to see the trisemester system instituted at Wilkes because it would enable students to concentrate their attention on four courses instead of dispersing their energies on five. Also, I like the idea of having a semester ending before holidays; it would relieve a considerable amount of the pressure that students are now subjected to during holidays." Max Alper, freshman, Liberal Arts "This program would undoubtedly offer to students a greater variety of courses. It would permit many students to further their knowledge not only in which they might be interested." Gloria Zaludek, sophomore, A.B. in English "Although two important advantages of this plan would be: (A) students would receive their degrees in three years, and (B) the problem of school over-population would be alleviated, many studep.ts who depend on summer jobs would be at a disadvantage. Sallie Price, senior, A.B. in English "I would not get on my soapbox to advocate or denounce the trisemester plan.

Some of the wrestlers represent colleges and universities, others compete affiliated with YMCA's and various athletic clubs and still others compete in the tournament unattached. This year, as in the .p ast, four wrestling sessions will be held over the two-day period. Additional features of the tournament include a wrestling clinic, a tourney .banquet, and consolation bouts. Individual trophies will be awarded to the victorious wrestlers in the various weight divisions and to the winning team. The Bruce Blackman Memorial, honoring the late sports editor of the Time-Leader Evening News who was an avid wrestling fan and supporter of the open tournament, will be awarded to the outstanding wrestler.

The Ithaca game saw the hoopsters lose a quick-opening lead of 12-3 and fall behind on a scoring drought and a flood of personal fouls that paved the way for the Ithaca victory. The Davismen appeared to be on their way to their third consecutive victory when suddenly the bottom fell out of their offense and the Bombers found the scoring range to build up a 46-33 halftime lead. The biggest blow to the Colonel offense was the three personal fouls against ,t op scorer Ron Roski. Roski was forced to ride the bench for the major part of the first half and the Wilkes offense sputtered. Ithaca built up a thirty point lead halfway through the second half and foiled Coach Eddie Davis' attempts to field a combination capable of holding back the Bomber scoring attack.

The Shawneeites thundered back in the third stanza with the Pugh to Polanowski combination hitting for the score. Russo added the extra point on a pass from John Tensa to tie the score. Kingston - Edwardsville With time running out, the team started to click. Two consecutive steals and goals by Tom Pugh and two lay-ups and a foul by John Salsburg gave the Colonels new life as they rallied, late in the game. Ron Roski, Phil Russo, and Steve Gerko added late ,p ointers for the late surge. Leading the Wilkes scorers were Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas with 12 points each. Harvey Rosen had 11, Bernie Kosch 10, and Steve Gerko 6. Kosch, Pugh, Rosen, and Ger:ko were effective, off the boards for the Davismen but their rebounding was in vain as the offensive shooting was off the mark. The Scranton game saw the Royals erupt for eight consecutive points in the closing minutes to break open a close contest and send the Colonels down in defeat. The Royals won the game at the foul line, each team having dumped in 33 baskets but the Royals converting 17 of 28 foul tries while Coach Davis' boys made eleven out of twelve. The game started fast with both squads hitting with great accuracy and the lead see-sawing back and forth between the two throughout the first half. Harvey Rosen and Ron Roski carried the scoring punch for the Colonels with jump shots and drives to give the Blue and Gold a one-point halftime lead, 43-42. The second half was a carbon copy of the first, the lead being held by each team as it managed a quick two or three basket scoring burst. With three minutes to go, the Scranton team took a four-point lead, only to see it lost on shots by Gerko and Rosen. With two minutes left, the Royals used a fast break to take an 81-73 lead. The Colonels tried vainly to rally but their efforts fell short as the Royals froze the ball to win the game. Rosen led all scorers with 23 points, Roski had 21 and Gavenas 14 for the Colonels. ************************ GENE SHAKER'S BOWLING SUPPLIES Gene (Shaker) Shaskas, Prop.

Variety of Topics To Be Discussed Stevens Institute Offers New Freshman Writing Course by Gloria Zaludek Hoboken, N.J.-(1.P.)-How can you turn out articulate scientists and engineers? Everybody talks about the professional man's inability to tell others precisely what's on his mind, but nobody does anything about it, say teachers at Stevens Institute of Technology. Stevens is taking a fresh approach to this problem by requiring a new freshman writing course that The ship, the 96-foot brigantine he _adds, ~or students to cont1~ue cuts beneath the superficial answers of more grammar and iny anke_e, will sail from Miami July their stud~es aboard 1:1nder profes- creased vocabulary. 1, 1961, and follow the trade winds to such places as Pitcairn and Easter . Islands, . the South Seas, Africa, the Orient, and 'round-thehorn to South America and the W est Indies. · The 25 persons aboard will actually serve as crew and help navigate and sail the ship. They will share expenses of the cruise. Besides a rare chance to become proficient in traditional windjammer sailing skills the 'round- th e-wo rld voyage offers a unique educational opportunity, according to Yankee's owner Capt. lV1ike Burke of Miami. "We'll sail to places far off the beaten .tourist path," says Capt. Burke . . "Fqr example, we can get a glimpse of history by talking to descendants of The Bounty at Pitcairn, and by studying customs and people from Tahiti to Zanzibar." Arrangements have been made, swnal gmdance . durmg the ~8month • . 50,0UU-mile voyage. .

Yankee, which gained renown as a result of countless magazine articles and six books about four earlier 'round-the-world cruises u n d er command of Capt. lrving Johnson, was built in Emden, Germany, and operated as a North Sea pilot vessel until captured by the British in World War II. When Capt. Johnson purchased her in 1947, Yankee was changed from schooner to square-rigged brigantine. Her 15 sails total 7,775 square feet. Information concerning Yankee's 'round-the-world cruise may be obtained by writing: Capt. lVlike .tlurke, Windjammer Cruises, Inc., P.O. Box 1051, lVliami Beach, Fla. The real difficulty, says Stevens Humanities professors, is incomplete thinking. Most people are not troubled by a scarcity of words to express themselves. Rather they are unable to a s s e m b 1 e their thoughts, to make them clear to themselves as well as to others. The course requires students to recognize how much their attitudes and prejudices have shaped their awareness of things around them, whether they are writing about their adjustment to college life, a Van Gogh painting or Einstein's theory of relativity. Twice a week the freshmen write a 250-word paper on themes carefully contrived to make them aware that a writer's first task is to establish a point of view in his approach to a problem and that every- one twkes a somewhat different view of the same circumstances. The same method used in science and engineering is applied to writing. The students learn that men like Einstein and Newton first had to structure their own thoughts, to decide on a point of view, before they could express order in the physical universe. Several students have already reported that the course helped them in solving physics problems. Intrigued by the new course, the Mathematics Department is cooperating with Humanities by requiring students to write two essays on calculus this year. The course started as an experiment and has already been so successful that it will probably ):>ecome a permanent part of the curriculum.

These students are William J. by Gloria Zaludek The Winter Carnival has been Davis, William Hawke, John Hosage, and William Malcolm. cancelled! At the Student Government meeting last Tuesday Al Kishel, chairman for the Carnival, explained the procedure he and James Walters followed in order to locate a setting for this year's mid-term outing. He also explained the reasons for the cancellation of the winter holiday. "I wrote to the Pocono Chamber of Commerce for a list of hotel establishments which could accomodate our needs for a Winter . Carnival. From this list I selected those resorts which were suitable on the basis of size, facilities, money, and distance, and contacted each one." Of the four or five resorts which are available, the Inn at Buckhill Falls had the proper outdoor facilities. It could not, however, furnish indoor recreational facilities because a convention would be occupying them. John Hosage William. Hawke The Inn offered to allow tis to use the outdoor facilities, but, we would have to secure indoor g:i.thering rooms elsewhere. Onawa Lodge stipulated that we could use its indoor recreation rooms providing that they serve us a lunch and dinner for $5.00 per person. Since this plan, which would cost approximately $1,000, is not feasible, Student Government ruled out the possibility of having the Winter Carnival this year. ~ One footnote in the minutes for Student Government's last meeting is: the primary reason for our rejection of the various Pocono resorts was due to improper facilities, size, money, and distance. Plans are, however, to possibly contact these resorts for future carnivals or outings. It should be especially noted that few resorts refused us because of our past reputation. William J.

Mr. Milstein is recognized on all continents as one of the greatest violinists of our time. His perform~nce at the !rem Temple certainly' proved this praise is justified. Milstein showed in each work that he was the complete master of his Stradivarius. He was able to produce tones that seemed impossible on a four-stringed instrument. In short, the tonal quality was a joy to hear. Although I have not played the violin, I could well appreciate Mr. Milstein's technical versatility. . In the familiar "Preludium and Allegro" by Fritz Kreisler and the "Nocturne and Tarantella" by the Polish composer, Szymanowski, the violinist's fingers fairly flew along the strings. Only an artist such as Milstein could exhibit such precise, crisp fingering and smooth bowing technique. Campus Observer In addition to the previously mentioned works, the soloist played works by Handel, Bach, Beethoven, and the Swiss composer, Ernest Bloch. BRASS AND CHAMBER MUSIC ENSEMBLES PRESENT DlfFICULT PROGRAM AT ASSEMBLY WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - PRIVATE ~ There's not going to be a Winter Carnival! Indignant voices have been bellowing this warcry all week. All around, people are yelling, "They can't do :that!", pounding their fists on tables, and threatening to march on the Student Government Office. Everyone is positive that a terrible wrong has been done to the student body by their hallowed governing body. Everyone is sure they have a gallant cause to fight for. If a few of these bellowing students would quiet down long enough to find out the reasons for the decision, they'd feel pretty silly. First of all, to have a Winter Carnival, one must find a suitable place to hold it. Nobody wants us. Not many of them have moose heads or juke boxes that are insured against college students. The people of this school have worked hard to make Wilkes Col- lege a respected name. The Winter Carnivals in the past have done nothing but detract from the college's name. Whett I put them on the scales, I get this answer: it isn't worth it! I'ni very glad the Student Government got the same answer. It has also come to my attention that the Sophomore Class is going to sponsor a jazz concert with the great Dave Brubeck. I say Bravo! The response which this concert is receiving is a good example of the "uncollegiateness" of the students at this school. If a few of our students would remember that they aren't in high school any more and trade in their "rockin" 45's for some good music, they might realize that there is more in life than Elvis Presley. Let's get with it, people. It's about time the social life at Wilkes took on a few collegiate aspects! death of Alexander the Great. It is reported that the great ruler held women as a menace to his victories until - he met Roxanna, the daughter of a local defeated chieftain. Even after becoming his wife and mother of his children, the proud mountaineer woman resented the conqueror of her people. Once after a heavy dinner she challenged him to go swimming in a very cold pool. He took up her challenge and died of fever. place. Pathans are tall, lean people, and the merchants are proud and friendly. As usual, there was hardly a woman in sight,, but what surprised me pleasantly was that the men went about their business, paying no heed to us. These mountaineers are either used to strangers, or too proud to show any curiosity. For generations these people have been skilled riflemakers and the government erected on these lonely cliffs a gun factory for all armed forces in Pakistan. Finally after 30 miles of very dangerous, winding m o u n t a i n climb, we stopped at the Afghanistan border. One sentry on each side .guarded the entrance to his country. We came to the end of the Khyber Pass. Nada K. Vujica We hired a taxi to take us through the rugged beauty of the Khyber Pass, where camel caravans, unconcerned and dignified, have been for centuries bringing smugglers and conquerors into the rich plains of the Punjab and Hindustan. Many bloody tales are still told about the turbulent past and the many invaders; the Aryans invaded this area around 2000 B.C.; armies of Alexander .the Great marched in 327 B.C.; Islam was brought by the Afghan Mahmoud of Ghazni in 1000 A.D., the Moghul dynasty which ruled India for three hundred years conquered the passage in 1505 A.D.; the British occupied Khyber in 1838; and many incidents in Kipling's Indian novels took place on the slopes of Khyber. Kipling himself spent many years in Lahore where the place in which he lived is still proudly pointed out. In Khyber we also saw the fort where young Winston Churchill lived. On our way our car was stopped a few times for the permit to visit this area, which is considered unsafe for . travel. These barren cliffs, rugged, mysterious and foreboding, still considered untamed tribal area, speak of feuds and battles of revenge. The tribal customs prevail, and the basic law of human relationship still is "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and a man for a man." A whole clan lives in a heavy walled compound with a watch tower towards the road. Right now the Indian movie industry, second in size only to Hollywood, is trying to cash in on the popularity of the "wild west'; stories from the Northwest Provinces. We saw a wedding procession. The groom covered with a red and gold plated mantle was riding, blindfold, . a white horse. Each of his friends had a gun and was shooting to excite the horse, but the groom stayed bravely in his saddle. He was being led with music, dances and cheers to the home of his bride, whom he was to see for the first time. We met a camel and donkey caravan on the road, and saw goats and foxes on the hills. The air felt invigorating in t~e clear December sun. At _t~e little outpost we stopped to v1s1t the market I Why didn't the Beacon give any recognition to Cue 'n' Curtain's production, The Matchmaker. .. This is one of many questions we would like the editor of this profound literary sheet to answer. Does the Beacon give space to only those activities which are headed by members of its staff. If this is so then the Beacon is no longer a campus publication. It has become the instrument by which a few people become well known about campus. The production which was given at Chase Theatre drew favorable comment from one of our local critics. If the Beacon staff had anyone capable of reviewing a play it would have been quite simple to have him attend one of the performances. If not, they might have asked one of the faculty members to do so. It is a sorrowful state of affairs when a college production receives no mention whatsoever in its o.wn campus newspaper. We maintain the Beacon should give equal space to all activities be they small or large. Failing to do this the Beacon fails to achieve that for which it was intended. Cue 'n' Curtain (Ed.

Brooke Yeager Tankmen Host Harpur Team, Lose lo Dickinson in Opener The swimming team starts the home sports activity for the weekend tomorrow afternoon in a meet with Harpur College at 2 p.m. in the YMCA pool. Harpur is a relatively new school in intercollegiate competition and one with which Wilkes has no record. Coach Carl Havira and his tankmen look for a close meet and hope to win it after having lost their opener at Dickinson last Saturday by a score of 81-13. Pat Shovlin took second in the 220 yard freestyle and Bob Smith took second in the 440 freestyle to account for six of the Colonels' thirteen points. Shovlin also took third in the 200 yard backstroke event. Art Eckhart accounted for The team got off to a fine start last Saturday night with a strong 29-3 win over Ithaca College at Ithaca, New York. By winning, John Reese's crew maintained the streak which has them emerging victorious in all their league meets since they lost a 15-14 decision to Millersville State College three years ago. The Colonels now have but one loss on their record in four years as they continue to field one of the better small college wrestling teams in the country. Four new men competed for the Colonels Jack Richards, 130; Mike Armstrong, 137; Harry Vogt, 147; and Marty Strayer, 157. Only Richards failed to come up with a win, dropping a tough 4-0 decision to Aaron Bone. Bob Herman, who wrestled in the heavyweight class only once before, displayed fine form in dec1s1oning M i k e Raymond, 5-0. Coach Reese's charges won every bout but one and managed four falls among their wins. Marv Antinnes came up with the fastest pin of the night, putting Henry Henk to the canvas in 3 :37 minutes. Brooke Yeager, Mike Armstrong, and Ted Toluba produced the other pins for the Colonels. After defeating Ithaca, the matmen came back on Tuesday evening to defeat the Lebanon Valley wrestling team at Annville, 30-0. The Colonels took every bout, with pins being scored by Jack Richards, Harry Vogt and Marv Antinnes. Brooke Yeager, Mike Armstrong, and Ted Toluba scored shutouts in copping decisions while Ma,rty Strayer and Bob Herman triumphed by identical 3-2 scores. · two points as he took third place in both the 50 and the 100 freestyle, the 50 yard event was the closest of the meet, Eckhart clocking 25.7, only two-tenths of a second behind the winner. Dick Bender took two third places, one in the 200 yard individual medley and the other in the 200 butterfly. Bob Borkowski took third in diving and · Roger Rolfe accounted for the final point with his third place showing in the 200 yard breaststroke. The Colonels were hampered by the absence of John Miller and Ed Gavel, both of whom were lost to the team through injuries. Miller, a diver of outstanding ability, had been injured . during practice while freestyle distance man Gavel had sprained his ankle. Miller is expected to be ready for the home meet against East Stroudsburg State College on January 28 and Gavel will rejoin the team against Harpur in tomorrow's meet.

The swimming team starts things off with a swimming meet with Harpur at 2 in the afternoon. The natators will be looking for their first win against one loss. The wrestling meet against Hofstra will be one of the toughest all season for the team as the Dutchmen are sporting one of their finest teams in years and defeated Temple University last Saturday, 25-2. The cagers will take the court against Harpur College in an attempt to get back on the winning trail after having suffered three consecutive defeats. Wilkes lost last year's meeting between the two teams, 78-69. The team suffered its third consecutive loss Wednesday evening as they were downed by their hosts, Lebanon Valley, 86-55. The hoopsters could not continue the winning ways set by Coach Reese's wrestlers earlier in the evening and were hampered by co-captain and high scorer Clem Gavenas' inability .t o score a single point in the time he was in the contest. The Dutchmen shot off to a 47-30 lead in the first half and boosted it the rest of the way as all ten members of the team managed to score. Ron Roski, not beset by his stomach troubles, showed indications of getting back on the scoring trail as he led the Colonels with 14 points. Bernie Kosch and Dave Tawil each entered the double figure column with 12 and ten points respectively. Eddie Kemps had five, Tom Pugh four, Harvey Rosen and Dick Morgan three each, while Steve Gerko and John Salsburg each had two. Defeat Susquehanna The team's latest victory was a 66-60 win over Susquehanna University just before the Christmas holidays. The lead see-sawed back and forth from the opening whistle and was clinched for the Colonels by Kosch, Rosen, and Gavenas in the waning moments of the game. The two squads traded goals during the first half and the Crusaders held a slim one point lead of 37-36 at halftime. The second half started exactly as the first and after seven minutes of play, Bill Moore gave Susquehanna a four-point lead on two hook shots. The Colonels came back and on goals by Salsburg, Gavenas and Rosen, and a pair of fouls by,Roski, built up the biggest lead of the evening, 60-51. The Crusaders then chewed away at the lead and with two minutes left in the game had narrowed it to'· 60-58. It was then that a goal by Kosch and fouls by Rosen and Gavenas in the final minute won the contest. Harvey Rosen led the Blue and Gold scoring attack with 19 points. Bernie Kosch and Clem Gavenas each dumped in 13 while Dave Tawil had 11. John Salsburg and Ron Roski each had four and Tom Pugh accounted for the two remaining counters. Downed by Moravian Wednesday, January 4, saw the cagers suffer their third defeat of the season as they lost to the Grey- For Complete Shoe Service CITY SHOE REPAIR hounds of Moravian College in the Gym, 90-74. The Moravian freshman team defeated the Colonel frosh in the preliminary action, 9067. In the varsity contest, both teams took narrow leads in the opening minutes but neither could build up a substantial margin until the Moravian team used a series of fast breaks and Kosman's accurate shooting to pull 19 points ahead of the Colonels. The Davismen came roaring back and at halftime had narrowed the difference to three points, 42-39. Dick Kosman, Moravian forward and the game's high scorer, dumped in ten goals and five fouls in the first half. Bernie Kosch led Wilkes with six goals and Clem Gavenas added eight points to the cause. The Colonels fought back into the lead briefly early in the second half but a fast-breaking Moravian squad, with Len Zavacky leading the way, regained the lead. Midway in the second half the Greyhounds enjoyed a 16-point margin but twin goals by Steve Gerko and a goal by Tom Pugh put the Davismen back in the contest. Once again Moravian employed the fast break and with Fran Demko and Leo Stimmer registering goals, took a large lead again. The Greyhounds' Dick Kosman led all scorers with 33 points and for his performance against the Colonels was named to the ECAC All-East Basketball Team this week. Bernie Kosch led Wilkes' scoring with 14 while Gavenas and Tom Pugh added 13 and nine, respectively. Ron Roski, bothered by stomach trouble, managed to score eight; Steve Gerko, Phil Russo, and Eddie Kemps each had six, Harvey Rosen and Dave Tawil four apiece, while John Salsburg and Dick Morgan scored two points each. Red Devils Win Last Saturday the Dickinson basketball team c o m p 1 e t e d a doubleheader sweep of Red Devil athletics over Wilkes teams. Their swimming team defeated the Colonel tankmen and the cagers romped over the Davismen, 79-58. Wilkes had entered the contest holding down third place in the nation among small colleges in free throw percentage behind McNeese State of Louisiana and Randolph-Macon of Virginia, but could come up with only 12 free tosses all night. Dickinson got off to an early bulge and mounted its advantage to 46-29 at halftime. They continued to add to their lead and maintained their scoring power throughout the later periods to win hands down. Harvey Rosen and Dave Tawil led Wilkes scoring as they accounted for 14 points apiece, Roski and Morgan had six each, Pugh and Kemps four each, Gerko and Kosch three apiece, while Russo and Gavenas each had two . e PENN BARBER SHOP e Next Door to Y .M.C.A. 3 Barbers at Your Service James J.

January 13, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Richard Chapline Performs al Modern Language Conference by Bob Bomboy Mr. Richard Chapline, a member of the Wilkes-College music faculty, recently appeared professionally before 3,000 Modem Language Conference delegates at Philadelphia. Chapline, accompanied by harpsichord and violin, sang a solo and participated in several duets and trios. The program, cons,i sting of dramatic music of the French, Italian, Spanish, and English theater of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, was pr·e sented on December 28. A musical background for a poem by the German writer, Goethe, was one of the selections presented by · Chapline. Questioned about the kind of selections presented, Chapline, a professional singer who had sung in England and on the Continent before coming to the Wilkes campus, said that obscure dramatic music is his particular specialty. Music of this type was composed to be presented as an integral part of a particular play, and, as such, it is of great importance to those who study literature of the period. At one time in his career Chapline was employed by the Library of Congress to present this little known music to scholars. Now, however his interests are centered closer to home; his last college appearance was as conductor of the Christmas assembly.

The members who voted against the motion felt that this money, originally intended for use on the Winter Carnival in the Poconos, should not be distributed to such a small representation of students. The members in favor of the motion were of the opinion that this move would promote the public relations and school spirit of the college. They also felt that those students would be there as supporters of the wrestling squad who will meet the Dartmouth team that weekend. The Dartmouth Winter Carnival, held on their campus in New Hampshire annually, is nationally known for its ski slalom and jump competitions, its display of elaborate snow and ice sculptures, its fine arts events, and the outdoor sports available for all students attending the carnival. As of press time, the School Spirit Committee was making arrangements for transportation, and room and board at the carnival. At a cost of $24.00 per person, a student will have transportation, room and two meals a day. Activities at the carnival include wrestling and basketball events, skiing, skating, an all-college dance, and other items. Any person interested in attending the carnival should contact Miss Janice Bronson. Activity forms and the policies thereof were also under fire at this meeting. The representatives finally decided to invest the president of the body with the proper authority to approve forms, if submitted after a meeting, but before the deadline. Further changes in procedures involving a ct iv it y forms were hinted at with the definite statement that any club or organization that did not comply with the rules as they now stand would be met with speedy and severe action. $1.00 Ray Hollie's TONY'S EXPERTLY REPAIRED AND SERVICED . . .

The Tornados dropped to seventh, the Screwballs jumped up to sixth place from their cellar position and the Alley Cats were forced by forfeiture into last place. The 'Cats' Jerry Zeller set a league high series with 214-603 as his team lost because not enough bowlers appeared for the evening's competition. The high number of forfeitures forced by insufficient players has forced the commissioners to drop from the league roster those bowlers who have been chronically absent. This will leave a number of vacancies ready to be filled for the start of the second half. Anyone interested in joining the league has been requested to get in touch with either Jerry Chisarick, Dave Guss, or Bob Hewitt. This Sunday's bowling will mark the half-way point for the season. At the start of next semester's bowling, team standings, records and percentages will revert to zero across the board. Individual averages, however, will continue into the s e c o n d half.

Students Attend Dartmouth Carnival Cheer Wilkes Wrestlers The culmination of an idea generated by the School Spirit Committee will be reached today when a busload of thirty Wilkes students arrives at Dartmouth College to attend the spectacular Dartmouth Winter Carnival. Besides observing the various sporting events and displays, including the famous snow sculptures, the students will cheer the Wilkes wrestling team on to victory. Jan Bronson, School Spirit chairman, with the help of the Wilkes and Dartmouth Public Relations Offices, has secured accomodations for the group at the Woodstock (Vermont) Inn, located approximately 18 miles west of the New Hampshire college. The reservations were secured with considerable difficulty, since the Carnival attracts visitors from throughout the nation, and accomodations are difficult to come by. chaperones. Students making the trip include: June Vaanenen, Lyn Joseph, Ellen Sunde!, Myrna Fischman, Rosalind Deretchin, Ruth Friedlander, Anne Ligeti, Joan Smith, Ann Sedovy, J -e anne Mattern, Rowena Simms, Judith Berger, Merle Benisch, Linda Paonessa, Carolyn Olsen, Paula Lickver, Linda Ewing, Carol Thomas, Johanna Borowski, William Hunt, Leslie Andres, John Adams, Dick Lillienfeld, Paul Aquilino, Dick Barnes, Thomas Budd, Len Yoblonski, and Hana J anjigian.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1961 Ideas To Be Presented at Women's Assembly by Cynthia Hagley Preliminary plans have been made for the organization of an Association of Women Students on campus. This was accomplished at a meeting of women representatives from each class with Miss Beryl Cole, Dean of Women, presiding. Miss Cole explained some of the functions of such a women's organization and met an enthusiastic response from the women present.

It's Thursday, February 9th, in the midst of this long cold winter, and those valuable assembly "cuts" will be worth much more this spring. Furthermore, this coming program will be one that will hold your interest and keep your eyes on the stage and off the textbook on your lap, so don't plan to study. At the risk of editorializing and believing all advance press releases, Richard Corson and his monolog should prove to be one of the outstanding programs of the year. Corson, a young New York monoactor, who calls his unusual program of original character sketches Theatre Portraits, is one of the few men to make a success of the difficult art of monolog. This versatile young man is virtually a one-man theater, and has spent most of his adult life in various phases of the theater world. He has won acclaim as an actor, director, scenic designer, dramatic writer, make-up authority, and teacher. Richard Corson, born in Illinois and educated at DePauw University in theater arts, where he earned his Phi Beta Kappa key, wrote and produced his first monodrama while still an un(l.ergraduate. In addition to acting on stage, radio, and television throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, he has taught dramatics at Vassar and the University of Minnesota. For several years he was makeup editor of Players Magazine, and he had contributed to Theatre Arts, Dramatics Magazine, Quarterly Journal of Speech, and other publications. His book, Stage Makeup, has been used for a number of years as the definitive text on the subject on about 90% of the col- Such an organization would provide the much needed self-government for women on campus. It would serve as a co-ordinator of oil women's activities and clubs and would not threaten the sovereignty of any organization now in existence. Groups such as Theta Delta Rho and the Girls' Athletic Association which was recently formed will work in and with Associated Women Students. The women attended this meeting at 11 o'clock last Tuesday in Weckesser Hall. After discussing the functions and organization of the A WS they were served coffee. Presently, the girls are gathering ideas for the coming special women's assembly in March. Some girls are also planning to meet Miss Jesse Janjigian, a former president of a similar chapter at the college she attended. She will be on campus today for this purpose. Anyone interested in hearing her experiences with this organization should be in Miss Cole's office at four this afternoon. Even though only a few members of each class attended the initial discussion meeting, any girl who is interested in the forming of this Association is encouraged to speak with Miss Cole. There will be another meeting of the group at W eckesser a week Tuesday at elev-en o'clock. Amnicola Seeks Support The yearbook will again attempt to secure the co-operation of the student body when it schedules underclassman pictures to be taken Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, February 8, 9, 10, respectively. The Amnicola staff wishes to remind students that a class represented in the yearbook as having a membership of fifty students presents a rather poor ,p icture to interested observers. Pictures will be taken in Chase Theater from 9 to 1 on the days mentioned. The sitting charge for the picture will be $1.00 to be paid at the time the picture is taken. No particular attire is required for the picture. A club picture schedule will be posted on the main bulletin board. Club leaders are asked to check this list. Picture-taking will start Monday, February 6. Accountants Elect Officers Robert H. Yetter, junior accounting major, has been elected president of the Accounting Club, and will succeed Fred Pello the club's first president. The elections were held between semester because of the internship program of the senior accountants. Other newly elected officers are: Frank Kline, vice-president; Mike Cebula, secretary; Clyde Roberts, treasurer. Club meetings are held Tuesdays at 11 :00 in Parrish Hall, Room 36. All those interested in joining the club are invited to attend the next meeting. leges and universities offering courses in theatrical make-up. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 t~~,;~•;h; Eili~; 1 Editorial- A Resolution to Keep . Although it may seem a little late for making New Year's resolutions, we wish that one resolution would be made and kept by the student body at Wilkes. It is important because it involves a matter of courtesy. I will act in a courteous manner at all College assembly programs. In this respect, acting in a courteous manner involves three areas of conduct. l. Coming to Assembly - Students should make every effort to be on time. This means getting to the gymnasium and being seated no later than 11 :05 a.m. One of the reasons for this is that. many times, the performer is engaged to appear at one of the local service clubs at a noon luncheon meeting. Thus, the program must begin on time and end on time. 2. Attending Assembly - Although some people would disagree, one of the finest attributes of self-discipline is the ability to listen and be attentive. This attribute is also a sign of maturity. It is not asking too much to request all of the dedicated Wilkes students to lay aside their books for one half hour of the week. A performer is always most appreciative of an audience. Just ask any music major. 3. Leaving Assembly - This is the area where rudeness has .come to the fore. The student seen rushing for the nearest exit as soon as the final word has been heard or the final note has sounded appears to be training for the 100-yard dash. Certainly, getting to the cafeteria five minutes later than usual will result in no deaths from starvation. The Student Assembly Committee with the help of Dean Cole has scheduled some interesting programs for this semester. Of course, every program will not interest every student. But there is still no excuse for rudeness or ill manners. Only through the cooperation of the student body in this respect can the Student Assembly Committee be expected to better its efforts in bringing interesting programs to Wilkes assemblies.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN I ~ 1 1 ::~ OOXIIIIIIIIIIXIIIOIXI Mr. Jay Olexy, Editor The Beacon Dear Sir: In its last issue, The Beacon printed a letter which was signed, "Cue 'n' Curtain." I wish to bring to your attention the fact that although the people who wrote the letter were members of the Cue 'n' Curtain organization, the club did not write the letter, nor did it request that the letter be written. Any correspondence to The Beacon comes from the advisor, the president, or the executive council of the club with proper signatures. Although the club endorses the content of the letter, the signers were registering student protest rather than one authorized by Cue 'n' Curtain. Sincerely, Barry Gintel, President, Cue 'n' Curtain Research Continues As WC Professors Receive Grants The National Science Foundation of Washington, D.C., has awarded two grants through its Undergraduate Research Participation program to Dr. Francis J. Michelini and Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, both of the Wilkes biology department. The grants will enable Undergraduates to engage in scientific research either as an individual working under the direct supervision of an established scientist or as a member of a research team working directly with the scientist. To help build the interest of superior students in research, to widen their understanding of the scientific method, and to improve their ability to employ scientific investigation p r o c e d u r e s, the Foundation has made $3.2 million available in 357 grants. . While participating in this program, students, chosen on the basis of applications made to the institution fostering the program, receive nominal stipends. As Dr. Alan T. Waterman, director of the National Science Foundation, has remarked, "Research experience has long been recognized as absolutely necessary to the training of a scientist. Few undergraduates have the opportunity, however, to actually engage in research. Few have the opportunity to strike out for themselves, under guidance, into areas or levels of study beyond normal curricular offerings." The Undergraduate Research Participation program is one way to aid and encourage colleges and universities to provide research of comparable experience to highly selected students with a view toward accelerating and deepening those students' education in the sciences.

The swimmers face Lycoming twice and Pennsylvania Military College and Millersville State College once each. Coach Hcivira has high hopes that his natators will finish the season strong. Sickness and injuries have hindered the team a great deal so far this season. John Miller, who needed 19 sutures to close a severe cut to his leg, will not be available for the first Lycoming meet but Havira hopes that the former Girard star will be ready for the last three. The latest bad break has been the loss of Art Eckhart, the team's foremost sprinter, because of a high fever. Art missed the East Stroudsburg meet and it has not been determined yet if he will be ready for the first Lycoming meet. One of the biggest losses to the squad has been that of the graduation of Pat Shovlin. Pat has been a stalwart of the team for the past four years and his loss will be sorely felt. His great versatility enabled him to swim any event for the team. In the first three meets he collected fourteen points and made a consistent showing in all events in which he swam. Despite the early season losses, the team is beginning to take a new shape and newer outstanding members are emerging. Roger Rolfe has especially looked impressive in the last two meets. In the 64-33 loss to Harpur, he garnered eight points with a first in the 200 yard breaststroke and a second in the 200 yard butterfly. He also picked up six points against East Stroudsburg with a winning time of 3 :51.3 in the 200 yard butterfly. Dick Bender looked strong in winning the 200 yard individual medley against Harpur and collected four points in the 69-25 loss to East Stroudsburg with a second and a third. Art Eckhart collected eight points with a first in the 100 yard freestyle and a second in the 50 yard freestyle against Harpur. Bender, Rolfe, and Eckhart were the three winners against Harpur while Rolfe was the only one against East Stroudsburg. The team is young, there are no seniors at all on the squad and shows promise of a good future. Bob Borkowski took a second place in diving against Harpur and has looked very good on the board. He shows real promise as a breaststroker and also swims on the medley relay team. Gary Greaker, who leads off the medley relay team, is coming into his own as a backstroker. He took a third place against Harpur and will be counted on as the best backstroker in the last four meets. (continued on page 4) Dutchmen Are Strong Colonels Defeat Harpur, Lose to Wagner Tomorrow evening the cagers host the Flying Dutchmen from Hofstra College in a MAC contest slated to get under way at 8 :00 p.m. The Dutchmen, after a spectacular season in 1959-'60 with a 23-1 record, are again having another fine season and will provide tough competition for the Colonels. The Davismen will be without the services of tall rebounder Bernie Kosch, who graduated at the close of the semester. The hoopsters gave their tall 6'6" pivot man a fine going away present as they turned back Harpur College, 81-78, just .p rior to exams. The team opened fast and had built up a twelve point lead iby midway through the first half with Harvey Rosen and Clem Gavenas showing the way with accurate field goals. With eight minutes left in the half, the Eagles started to eat away at the Colonel lead on the scoring of Mike Greenberg and Jim Davis. With only five minutes remaining in the first half, the Harpur squad came through and on an eightpoint outburst, gained a short-lived lead which soon disappeared as Dick Morgan and Phil Russo combined in a series of fast breaks and scoring to give Wilkes a 41 to 37 halftime lead. The second half was nip and tuck, the two teams matching goals for the first eight minutes before the Eagles again began to chew away at the meager Colonel lead. With three minutes remaining in the game a goal by Harpur's Ess tied the score at 72-72. Ron Roski registered a goal for the Blue and Gold only to have it matched iby Greenberg's two-handed set shot. At this ,p oint freshman Dick Morgan took command of the situation and scored on a fast drive and then added two fouls to give the Colonels a four-point lead with only two minutes remaining in the game. Harvey Rosen led the Wilkes scorers with 24 points, Ron Roski had 17, Dick Morgan and Clem Gavenas added 11 apiece, and Bernie Kosch scored eight points and was credited with sixteen rebounds and nine assists in his final collegiate game. Pugh, Gerko, Russo, and Kemps each had two while John Salsburg added one to the winning effort. The team ran up against just too much height last Saturday night, as it dropped its seventh game of the season against four wins in a 98-62 loss to Wagner College at Staten Island, New York. The Colonels fell behind early in the game and then saw the Seahawks pull away and take a never-to-berelinquished lead. The score at halftime saw the Wagner team holding a comfortable 26 point lead, 57-31. The Seahawks were led in scoring by 6'-7" Don Larsen, who dropped in 12 goals and seven fouls for 31 points. For the Colonels, team captain Clem Gavenas was high man as he connected for eight goals and two fouls for 18 points. Harvey Rosen was close behind with 17 points, Eddie Kemps had eight, Steve Gerko and Tom Pugh six each, Ron Roski had four and Dick Morgan three. ~*********************** TONY'S S.

The team left for Hanover, New Hampshire last night for a meet with Darbnouth College scheduled for three o'clock this afternoon. The meet, part of the annual Dartmouth Winter Carnival, will not be viewed by a partisan crowd as a group of Wilkes students will be on hand to support the team. Brooke Yeager On Tuesday the matmen meet Lycoming at Williamsport in a meet which shapes up to be one of the roughest of the season. The Warriors defeated Hofstra College last weekend, 2.6-3, with Hofstra having been defeated by Wilkes earlier this season. The Flying Dutchmen had been expected to give the matmen their toughest meet of the season and the fact that they were responsible for the only blot on the 21 consecutive meet winning streak of the Colonels by virtue of last year's 16-16 tie made a victory over them more desirable. Brooke Yeager, this week's Athlete of the Week and the first Wilkes athlete to turn the trick this year, started things off in the Hofstra meet with a strong 6-0 decision over Don Hannon in the 123-pound class. For Yeager it was an instance of revenge, Hannon having defeated him for the MAC crown in that weight class last year. In what was probably the most surprising match of the evening, freshman Dave Puerta, wrestling intercollegiately for the first time, pinned Frank Baselice in 7:47 minutes. Trailing 7-5 midway through the final period, he combined a half-nelson and a crotch hold to pin Baselice directly in front of the Hofstra bench. A lull came in the Colonel's winning ways as the Dutchmen's John Ryan came through with an escape and a take down in the final period of his match with Mike Armstrong to break a 3-3 deadlock and win, 6-3. Harry Vogt then pinned Karl Fortmeyer early in the final period in the 147 pound match. He was followed up by Marty Strayer's 5-2 decision over Jack Gleason. In one of the closest matches of the evening, Ted Toluba was decisioned by Hofstra's Dick Muller, 3-0. Muller, who was warned once by referee Bill Lee for stalling, used a reversal and riding time to pick up the win. Marv Antinnes then put the meet out of the reach of the Dutchmen as he pinned Dick Hippner in 8 :05 minutes. Hippner constantly avoided Marv's attempts to get down to the business of wrestling and was warned once by the referee for stalling before Antinnes pinned him. The final match was taken by Smith of Hofstra who overcame outweighed Bob Herman's resistance and pinned him halfway through the second period. The team made Appalachian State Teachers College of North Carolina their 22nd consecutive victim last Thursday evening as the Colonels won six of the regular bouts in taking the meet, 24-6. Brooke Yeager continued his winning ways as he pinned Gerald Swain in 1 :09 with a cradle. Brooke had taken the Southerner down with a fast leg dive and quickly applied the cradle for the fall. Appalachian's hopes rose somewhat in the next match as Bill Cook decisioned Dave Puerta, 8-1. Cook, runner-up in national small college competition in the 130 pound class, proved to have too much experience and savvy for the Wilkes freshman and used two takedowns and a reversal to build up his score. Mike Armstrong resumed the team's winning ways in an 8-3 decision over Charles Boyer in one of the fastest matches of the evening with Armstrong using two takedowns and an escape in the opening period to build up a 5-2 lead. The Colonels then picked up the 147 pound match on default when Ken Shelton was injured in the second period of his bout with Harry Vogt. Vogt led at the time, 6-0. Marty Strayer continued the team's sweep as he registered a 5-2 decision over Mike Lassiter. In the 167 pound class, Ted Toluba brought the fans to their feet with a very impressive win. He caught Bill Mayhew with a reverse half-nelson and crotch hold and pinned him in 3:28. "Mustang" Marv Antinnes proved too much for .Southerner Farrell Anderson and won an easy 6-0 decision. The heavyweight bout proved the roughest and perhaps the poorest judged of the evening. Bob Herman, outweighed 30 pounds by his opponent, Joe Bailey, proved to be his match in skill and in the final several minutes, held a 6-4 edge. Bailey then used a reversal and picked up three points on a near fall to win the bout, the three final points having been awarded after (continued on page 4) I �WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON 4 Student Radio Series Presents National Objectives lo Panel This Saturday at I :05 p.m. Wilkes students will present the fourth in a bi-semester series of radio programs dealing with our national objectives. The programs were inspired by informative Life magazine articles on "Our National Purpose" and by published recommendations of the President's committee on National Goals. Produced through the cooperation of radio station WBAX, the program this week will feature four panelists: Betsy Hoeschele, senior, English major; Jerry Krasa, junior, Political Science; Joe Shambe, junior, Business Administration, and Ned Van Dyke, sophomore, English major. Mike Bianco, junior, Political Science major, will serve as moderator. Bianco will try to keep the discussion informal yet knowledgable, and at the same time lively and quick-witted. The program aims to develop cross-sectional and inter-class opinion and enlighten current problems of typical interest. All of the programs have been tape recorded; they will be kept in an on-campus record reference library and made available to students, teachers, and to the public in general. HA VIRA'S SWIMMERS (continued from page 3) Ed Gavel is beginning to get into shape after spraining his ankl1;1 earlier in the season. He collected four points against East : Strouds,, burg and is a member of the free-' style relay team which includes Mark Troy, a promising freshman with a great deal of power. Mark is also used in the sprints and took third place against Stroudsburg. Dave Smudin has turned into the endurance swimmer of the team and is also one of the promising individual medley men. Dave collected four points against Stroudsburg with a second in the 440 yard freestyle and a third in the individual medley. Bob Smith has proven to be a valuable asset to the team as he is able to swim both distance and sprint events. He placed second in the 440 against Dickinson and collected two points , against Harpur. Craig Huddy has been consistently bringing his time down in the 200 yard breaststroke and if he can build up his endurance will be a real threat. Dale Jones is a freshman diver who also doubles as a freestyler. He's beginning to work his way into shape both as a diver and as a sprinter. MATMEN AT LYCOMING ( continued from page 3) the buzzer had sounded signifying the end of the match. The Colonels proved to be just as effective in the exhibition bouts as in the meet as they won all three bouts. Rich Burns won in the 115 pound class over Mike Raydon, 4-2, and Ron Henney turned in a 7-4 decision over Joe Yatsko. In the 191 pound clash Bob Ainsworth proved that a 21 pound w e i g ht disadvantage was not enough to overcome him as he pinned Greg Van Orden in eight minutes. The matmen won their fifth consecutive meet of the season last Saturday night as they defeated East Stroudsburg State College, 23-5. The Colonels won every match except one and lost that through a severe injury to heavyweight Bob Ainsworth. Bob, wrestling his second match within two hours, was not forewarned about his opponent, Ron Mata,kaitis. Matakaitis had just entered Stroudsburg and was in his first intercollegiate meet after having placed third in New Jersey all-scholastic competition in high school. Ainsworth was at a definite weight and strength disadvantage from the outset and when he found himself about to be pinned, pulled his chest muscles so severely in a bridging •e ffort that he had to retire from action and be hospitalized in order to determine the extent of the injuries. X-rays proved that there was no bone damage but it has been disclosed he will be lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Brooke Yeager and Tom Gleason of Stroudsburg started the evening's competition off to a rousing start, exchanging points on reversals and takedowns at a fast clip before Brooke took the 20-6 decision. Dave Puerta handed Stroudsburg's Ken Nickitcher his first defeat of the season by a close 5-4 margin in the 130 pound class match. Mike Armstrong defeated Stan Woods in the 137 pound class while ************************ GENE SHAKER'S BOWLING SUPPLIES Gene (Shaker) Shaskas, Prop.

The additional courses and research work, which will tentatively begin in the fall semester, 1961, will entail expanding Stark Hall, its faculty, and its equipment. In preparation for the masters degree in. physics, courses in theoretical, solid state, and nuclear physics will be offered. Courses for the masters degree in chemistry will include physical, organic, and radiochemistry. Three faculty members have been added toward the graduate program: Dr. Swain of the chemistry department, Dr. Detweiler and Dr. Ripley of the physics department. Because RCA plans to locate in this area if a graduate program for engineers could be offered, the College will expand and make available this program as a public service to the community. Harry Vogt continued his unbeaten record by recording a 6-2 decision over Hugh Lawrence after ·a scoreless first period in the 147 pound bout. Marty Strayer continued his consistent performance through .p ast meets into this one and remains undefeated after having beaten Pat Rock, 16-4. Ted Toluba decisioned Mel Williams, 7-1, while Marv Antinnes pinned Jan Beliveau in 5:53 minutes after Beliveau had been warned once by the referee for stalling tactics.

Tuesday afternoon after finals, 22 music majors, members of the Music Educators' National Convention, left by car on a field trip to the Eastman School of Music, Rochester, New York. These students toured the school, noting particularly the numerous and well-equipped practice rooms, recital halls and the large theater, some 12 pipe organs and other facilities. They also toured the Sibley Music Library, the third largest music library in the world. One interesting feature of this library is a vault containing priceless manuscripts and volumes of music. The M.E.N.C. group, the only music club on campus, were pleased to renew acquaintances with two former Wilkes teachers, Miss Phyllis Clark, who teaches piano and theory at Eastman, and Mr. Robert Moran, former Wilkes band director who now teaches in the Rochester public school system.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Fas hi on Footnotes Dear Editor: It was with a certain amount of alarm and surprise that I read in last week's Beacon about the final examination "taken" by the German 205 class at the end of last semester. I was surprised because I thought finals are supposed to be the final test of what the students have learned from the course. Since German 205 "covers the German dramatists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries," it seems to me that performing a play, while certainly in the spirit of the course, does not test the students' understanding of the movement of the period nor their understanding of the many differences which must certainly exist among Kleist, Werner, Anzengruber, or Hauptmann. Performing a play merely shows how well the students can act and speak a German dialogue. I was alarmed by this event because I can foresee this whole wild scheme becoming a fad, and students in other courses being required to "perform for final examinations." I can just picture the chaos that might ensue if chemistry students were required to combine their talents with the physics and engineering people to invent, assemble, and perfect a simple atom bomb or three-stage Hercules rocket. Or imagine the students in the education field having a "clearing house" wherewith they could meet with teachers to solve their problems. And students in political science courses would have to begin a third party and see their candidate at least as far as the State Assembly. How many girls by Wayne Thomas Two members of the college physics department attended the annual meeting of the American Physical Society in New York City last week. Dr. Daniel P. Detweiler and Dr. Julien A. Ripley attended the convention which began last Wednesday and continued until Saturday afternoon. Several sessions were held simultaneously and many papers were presented. Dr. Detweiler participated in a discussion on a paper concerning dielectric loss in iotic solids. He also attended a luncheon meeting on Thursday of the American Association of Physics Teachers committee on research in small colleges. Dr. Detweiler left here on Wednesday morning and returned on Thursday. Dr. Ripley, who was in attendance at the meeting from Thursday night until Saturday night stated that ' in the secretarial studies could clean and repafr a typewriter as a final examination? And how many commerce and finance students would enjoy having to invest in a fluctuating stock market in order to pass their courses? Worst of all, I foresee very serious repercussions if the people in the philosophy and religion departments were to erect a twenty-foot statue of Buddha atop Parrish Hall. I do not think "performing for final examinations" as the Beacon headline so boldly stated, is a good idea. It degrades the honor and dignity of presenting oneself at the gymnasium to take a three-hour written examination with ones friends and fellow classmates; it degrades the students as a whole, because they are in the same category as a menagerie where animals are kept to perform stunts. Please understand that I am not criticizing any department or chairman of that department; I am only voicing my protest against a practice that might soon turn the students of Wilkes College into a coterie of circus performers rather than sober, intelligent, and educated man and women.

We would also like to thank Mr. Clewell for making arrangements for the trip.

Seniors Prepare for St. Patrick's Dance, Donkey Basketball Game by Sandy Biber Plans for the Donkey Basketball game which will be held on March 8 were discussed by the senior class at their meeting last Tuesday. The class voted to invite orphans to the game which will be held in the Gym. Suggestions for giving door prizes and presents to the orphans were also discussed but not acted upon. Also, the faculty will be asked to compete against the donkey-riding students. The senior class' Friday night dance will be held on March 17. Irish traditions will probably be worked into the theme' of the dance. Peter Back, chairman of the memorial committee, announced the following suggestions which he has received for the senior class gift: a public address system in the cafeteria, student typewriters in the library, and a synchronizing system for the college locks and bells. A contribution to the student union building fund, a language laboratory, and funds to lease a computer were also suggested. Back asked for more suggestions from· the class. It is estimated that there will be about $1500 appropriated for the gift. The suggestions will be narrowed down at the next class meeting and the final decision will be voted upon by the entire class in March. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 10, 1961 3 Matmen Away; Defeat Lycoming 17-11 Faculty Five, Playboys Cagers Away for Two, Herman Week's Athlete, Lead in 1-M Basketball; Lose 2nd, 3rd Straight; Heavy's 3-2 Win Decides Forfeitures Cited Rosen Paces Scorers Lycoming Meet The intramural b a s k et b a 11 league, although it started off to what seemed to be a very promising season, has lately been blighted by lack of attendance, resulting in games lost by forfeiture.

Mr. Michael Dydo, faculty coordinator, has requested that all teams which do not intend to play any more games and wish to withdraw from the league, notify him as soon as possible so that the schedules may be drawn up without risking any more forfeitures.

Textile, 86-68 The squad has 'been defeated in its last two outings, losing, 86-68, to Philadelphia Textile and dropping a 99-68 contest to Scranton University. Textile continued its drive for a bid to the NAIA basketball tourney by downing the team in a game which, despite the final score, was nip and tuck most of the way. The Colonels opened strong and held a slight margin over the Weavers until about midway through the first half, when the Textile team called a time-out . to adjust their offensive tactics to the strong press brought to bear on them by the Davismen. The Philadelphia team then 'began to slowly pull away from the Blue and Gold and led at halftime, 42-35. The two teams traded baskets for . s e v e r a l minutes, Steve Gei<ko dropped in three for the Colonels . and Junius Johnson added three in the Textile effort. With five minutes left in the contest, Bob Simons and Bill Miller teamed to score four quick baskets to give the Weavers a ten point lead. This seemed to break the back of the Colonel effort as the Textilemen continued to hit the mark and had built up an 18 point spread by the close of the game. Harvey Rosen led the Colonels with 18, Steve Gerko had 13, Clem Gavenas 12, Ron Roski 11, Eddie Kemps 7, Dick Morgan had I four, and Pugh had three.

It was in 1958 that the matmen's streak of 23 consecutive wins was brought to an end by Millersville in a 15-14 thriller which saw the Marauders overcome a 9-0 deficit and win in the last match with a fall. Coach Reese's boys will go against the down-state squad with a 25-meet winning streak, the only blot being a 16-16 tie with Hofstra last season. Moravian College will provide the team with its last road competition at 8 p.m., Thursday evening at Bethlehem. The grapplers turned back the Warriors of Lycoming College on Tuesday night after overcoming an 11-3 deficit by winning the four final matches in a suspenseful 17-11 meet. The team remains unbeaten in 25 meets. Tuesday's contest at Williamsport was somewhat like last year's meeting between the two teams here in Wilkes-Barre, the meet not being decided until the heavyweight match. Last year saw Bob Sislian pin his opponent and break an 1111 tie to give the Colonels the meet, 16-11. This year, Herman's opponent in the heavyweight match needed a decision to tie the meet and a fall to win the meet for his squad. Herman, however, proved too good for Joe Confair and despite the fact that he was outweighed by 33 pounds, won by a 3-2 decision. Two Colonels dropped from the unbeaten ranks as Brooke Yeager lost an 11-10 decision and Harry Vogt was decisioned by Lycoming's Wilkes Open Tourney Champion, Bob Pac, 12-6. Marty Strayer and Marv Antinnes, however, continued their winning streaks as they each picked up their seventh wins of the season. The meet progressed dimly for the Colonels through the first four matches, the only win being picked up by Dick Stauffer with a 10-7 decision. Yeager lost, George Dussinger was pinned, and Harry Vogt lost to Pac. Fae's decision ended Lycoming's scoring for the night. Strayer then won a decision, Ted Toluba closed the gap in the score to 11-9 with a 5-4 decision, and then saw Marv Antinnes put the Colonels out in front for the first time as he pinned Bob Jones. Bob Herman then won to give Coach Reese's matmen their 25th straight win. · Bob Herman twenty-fifth consecutive mat victory with a stirring 3-2 decision over Lycoming ace, Joe Confair. Although outweighed by 33 pounds the crafty Colonel utilized a first period takedown and an escape to fashion the win and team victory. Being outweighed by forty and fifty pounds against each opponent is nothing new to Herman. The sophomore grappler regards this as a greater challenge to his wrestling ability and uses his slender but muscular 177 pounds to the best advantage. Bob has proven his ability to cope with and overcome this weight disadvantage by registering four victories this season and winning post-season tourney honors last year. . . . For Your Shop at . . . The amiable grappler won third place in the MAC tourney and then proved his worth by winning third place in the NAIA small college nationals. The third place finish in the nationals was won by downing several opponents who had won their league championships and were considered tops in their sections of the country. Herman graduated from Nanticoke High School in 1955 where he starred in the Nans' sports as a four year letterman in football and wrestling. He won a berth on the West All-Stars after his senior * * * gridiron year and was runner-up in The Colonels' first venture into district wrestling. After graduation he joined the Marines where Ivy League competition saw them trounce Dartmouth College, 28-0. he played baseball and football.

Beacon first asked, "Miss Hoeschele, how has your impression of i Wilkes College changed since your freshman year ? " She replied, "In my opinion the greatest and probably the most disheartening change has been the tendency of some organizations to lose their importance in. the eyes of the students because the organizations have lost their sense of purpose." When asked if she was satisfied with the school spirit on campus, Miss Hoeschele said that, "Our school spirit is improving, but it is not yet intense, it is really not yet equal to that deserved by the college personality." Finally, we queried, "What do you like best about Wilkes College?" "The one thing that really stands out here at Wilkes is · the open friendliness of the student body. This, to me, is the best attribute of our college," she answered. Miss Hoeschele, an avid reader who will be graduated in June with an AB in English, will . student teach in .a local high school this semester.

Dear Cynthia, A Beacon reader commenting on my previous letters, asked me, "Do Pakistani cities have paved streets and sidewalks, skyscrapers, theatres, parks? How does the city look?" In an attempt to answer these questions, I shall sketch a profile of Lahore, the city in which I have lived for the past five months, and which exemplifies both the beauty and ugliness of most Asian cities. The earliest image I remember having of the Orient was one of a beautiful dancer, adorned with shining trinkets, peering from behind "a white muslin curtain". In my childhood days in Sarajeve, "The City of 100 Mosques", I heard the exotic stories of a Thousand and One Nights; feverish evenings were spent in riding on the magic carpet, hunting for Ali Baba's fabulous treasure with the help of Aladdin's lamp. My girlhood dreams were enriched by the delicate music of Tagore's lyrical prose and Rumi's mystical verse. The picture of Japanese landscape ethereally graceful with cherry blossoms and the cold beauty of Fujiyama were invitations to my imaginary travels. But, alas, the Orient I have seen is much le.ss romantic. The PakIndian subcontinent had a glorious past which is preserved in marble, gold and other splendored things, but to visit these monuments of former glory one must pass through dirty streets with open sewers, mingle with half-clad, unwashed; emaciated bodies, see fly-infested food displayed on the ground, _pass by half-starved dogs, dodge the disorganized traffic of modern cars and medieval oxcarts, tongas and rickshaws. However, I shall describe some of the more pleasant aspects of Lahore. I will divide my impressions into two parts; in this letter I wiil speak about the historical Lahore, and in the next one about modern Lahore. The history of Lahore has been rich indeed; it served as headquarters to Moghul Emperors; it was the Sikh political capital; it was the center of rabid religious nationalistic Hindu organizations before partition, and it is now the seat of the West Pakistan government and the Muslim cultural metropolis. The rule of Moghuls was at its height in the 16th and 17th centuries, and from that time date most of the monuments. Near the Old Fort, Aurangzeb erected the Badshahi Masjid (Imp er i a 1 Mosque) built in 1673 in imitation of the famous Al Walid Mosque in Mecca. The courtyard is a quadrangle 530 feet long paved with brick, and is the largest place of Muslim worship in the world. The Mosque itself is surmounted by three large, marble cupolas crowned with pinnacles of ·b rass, a characteristic feature of Moghul architecture. Under the central dome is a handsome niche turned westward toward Mecca with the pulpit for the Ulema. Each corner of the quadrangle pas a minaret of red sandstone, tall- and majestic towering above every other object in the city. The view of the top is breathtaking, but the climb up to it by means of narrow winding dark stairs is even more so. This impressive mosque was used as a military magazine during the Sikh rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, but was restored to the Muslim in 1856 by the British. Right now it is being polished and restored for the visit of Queen Elizabeth. The Fort Lahore, surrounded by a high brick wall, was built by Akhbar, the greatest Moghul Emperor. One of its many gateways was called "Elephants Foot Gate" because the ladies of the harem, when going out for fresh air, passed through on their elephants. Within the castle is the palace, which was enlarged and beautified by Emperor Jahangir. In paintings and enamels one can recognize images ■ by Mary Frances Barone Dorothy Ford, the Beacon's student personality of the week, has held a variety of positions in the business world. The experience which she has gained in these various positions will aid her in her field of endeavor - business education. Her on-the-job training has ranged from a clerk typist, to secretary, to an accountant, to a private secretary, to secretary to an electrical engineer. Miss Ford feels that the training and the experiences which she has had will make her adjustment easier in her job as a teacher. In her job as a private secretary to an electrical engineer at Weston Electrical Instrument Co., she set up a filing system with a crossindex reference for her department. It has enabled her replacements to find materials without difficulty. Moreover, by working and living in the Newark area, she found herself in contact with various types of people which she had never encountered in Wilkes-Barre. Miss Ford commented that living in a cosmopolitan area as Newark enabled her to develop a cultural aspect of life. In recalling her experiences in an insurance office, Miss Ford related that she developed an interest in insurance and that she might consider it as a summer occupation. Besides her experiences in the business world as a basis for her preparation in her field of en.deavor, she believes that she has received thorough training at Wilkes. According to Miss Ford, Mr. George Elliot was one of the most interesting and informative teachers who aided her in her adjustment and preparation for college life. However, one of the weaknesses that she finds at Wilkes is the organization of social activities on campus. She feels there is a lack of student participation and effort on the part of most of the students in the social activities. Moreover, she stated that there should be more of an integration of day and dormitory student activities. The basis for lier statement is the feel- Photo by Hancock Dorothy Ford ing that there is a lack of school spirit and social contact. Miss Ford worked for the library in the cataloguing department during her four years at Wilkes. She feels that she has had the opportunity to keep up to date with all the latest information and books in the various fields. During her stay on campus, she has been treasurer of her class, a member of the Beacon staff, TDR, varsity basketball team, and Education club.· She has been a member of the dean's list. Miss Ford is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Ford, 19 S. Hancock St., Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of G.A.R.

Harvey has led the team scoring for the past four contests, each time breaking into the twenties and dumping in 25 points in the team's losing effort against Elizabethtown last Saturday. He became the season's first Colonel to score 30 points as he dumped in 32 against Lycoming on Wednesday. His fine efforts were somewhat hidden from the spectators earlier in the season but since the Christmas holidays his consistency in s c o r i n g and fine playing has brought him to the fore. He led the Colonels' rally in the second half of the Elizabethtown contest as he scored 19 points, 87 per cent of his shots from the floor hitting the mark. From the foul line against the Blue Jays he hit for a percentage of 56 and currently leads the Middle Atlantic Conference in that department with 91 %. Harv averaged 15 points a game so far this season, 6 rebounds a game and has hit for a 41 % field goal average. A 1959 graduate of Lafayette High School, Brooklyn, New York, Harv captained the basketball team and was a member of that year's All-Metropolis Basketball Team. At Wilkes he is majoring in Political Science and is a resident of Ashley Hall. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant A. Perugino Buon Pranzo 204 S.

The second half of the intramural bowling league got off to an inauspicious start Sunday night as only one team, the Playboys, champions of the first half's play, appeared with a full complement of bowlers. The persistent lack of attendance has brought forth an invitation from the student co-ordinators of the league to the student body for any interested students to report to Jimmy's Central Lanes Sunday evening at 5 :30 or to get in touch with Jerry Chisarick, Bill Watkins, or Dave Guss. Playboys 3, Tornadoes 1 The Playboys continued their dominance exhibited in the first half as they started strong, winning the first two games and amassing enough pins to win the series. Bill Watkins led the attack with 196-529. Jim Antonio assisted with a 175 triplicate 525 series. This marks the first time in the history of the Wilkes Intramural League that a league bowler has recorded a triplicate. Bob Hewitt fired a 195-541 for the Tornadoes. Playboys: Watkins 196-529, Antonio 17 5-525, Tom Dysleski 180490, Joe Shemanski 159-446, Mary Fox 138-397. Tornadoes: Hewitt 195-541, Frank Machung 159-446, Jerry Chisarick 1618-443, Joan Balutis 116-270. Alley Cats 3, Boo,zers 1 The Alley Cats entered a first place tie with the Playboys as they defeated the Boozers, 3-1. Frank Di Gennari recorded the night's highest series as he overcame a slow start to roll a 212 and 220 in the second and third games for a 580 series. Regina Ritzie, sporting the best coed average in the league, led her team with 165-457. Alley Cats: Di Gennari 220-580, Jerry Zeller 193-475, Al Johnson 134-342.

Harry Vogt and Marv Antinnes both pinned their opponents while heavyweight Bob Herman came out in the favorable end of a 6,-1 decision. 123: Rinker decisioned Yeager, 7-5. 130: Stauffer, Medei drew, 0-0. 137: Armstrong, Grubbs drew, 6-6. 147: Vogt pinned Bedics in 5:26. 157: Strayer, Turner drew, 3-3, 167: Toluba, Schaffer drew, 3-3. 177: Antinnes pinned Wilkins in 5:21.

Coach Reese's grapplers close the 1961 season Wednesday night as they host the Bullets of Gettysburg College in the opening half of the wrestling-basketball doubleheader scheduled to get under way at 7:00 p.m. The matmen picked up their 26th consecutive victory last Saturday as they downed the Marauders of Millersville State College, 26-6. It marked the first time a Wilkes mat team had triumphed over Millersville and avenged the 1958 loss to the Marauders, a loss which had brought to an end the team's 24-meet winning streak. Marty Strayer and Marv Antinnes both picked up their eighth straight wins, both via the fall route. Strayer pulled the trick in 5 :05 minutes while Mustang Marv Antinnes' fall took a short 3:59 to complete. Brooke Yeager resumed his winning ways in convincing fashion by registering a fall over Jones in 3:51 minutes. Dick Stauffer turned in his third straight win since returning to the mat and picked up five points for the Colonels as he pinned Bartlett in 3 :58 minutes. Mike Armstrong's match was the closest of the evening, with Mike having to press hard all the way to win the 8'-7 d.e cision over Ted Leaman. Nick Stefanowski assumed the chores in the 147-lb. class, taking over from the injured Harry Vogt, and was defeated, 4-0, by the Marauders' Meyerson. Ted Toluba was the only other Colonel to be defeated, losing a 10-7 decision to Kettmeyer. Heavyweight Bob Herman finished the team's scoring as he registered a 6-1 decision over Bruce Wagner. Screwballs as both teams suffered from lack of attendance. Paul Bankovitch rolled a 17 4-454 for the Gutterdusters and Ed Clause fired a 159-458 for the Screwballs. Gutterdusters: Bankovitch 17 4-454, John Niznik 186-444, Dave Guss 150-435, Jerry Walter 161-393. Screwballs: Clause 159-458, Jerry Kulesa 176-457, Shevchuk 136-392. Ebonites 2, Pinbusters 2 The Ebonites split with the Pinbusters as both these teams also were short on bowlers. Dave Sokira with 171-457 led the Ebonites while Jack Turner's 162-429 was the high for the Pinbusters. Ebonites: Sokira 171-457, Ken Fox 150-344, Elva Chernow 115-319.

Upsala was defeated. by Wagner earlier this week, 78~ 65. On Wednesday evening the team returns home and will host Drexel in the second half of a wrestling-basketball doubleheader scheduled to get underway at 7 :00 p.m. The cage action will start at 8:30. The team displayed its two sides last Saturday evening . in dropping an 80-76 overtime decision to Elizabethtown. The Blue Jays displayed their best scoring production of the year in the first half of the contest as they ran up a 42-23 halftime lead. The second half started out as a repeat performance of the first as the Jays scored two quick goals to grab a 23 point lead. The Colonels' play, unspirited and slow in the first half, suddenly came to life after the E-towners two quick baskets. With "Athlete of the Week" _Harvey Rosen and Steve Gerko leading the scoring parade, the Wilkesmen began to narrow the Jays' margin. The aggressive rebounding of Tom Pugh and Ron Roski led the Colonels to a four successive basket outburst. Only the "roller skating" maneuvers of the Blue Jay center kept the E-towners in the game. Time after time, the lanky pivot man performed his "one-two-threekick-skip" offense to score. His questionable footwork escaped the notice of the officials throughout the game . . With three minutes remaining in the contest, the E-towners possessed a fast, dwindling eight point lead and tried to freeze the ball in an attempt t9 win. The ballhawking tactics of Tom Pugh and Rosen gave the Colonels three fast baskets and, after lo~ing Pug,h and Roski on fouls, tied . the score\ in the closing minutes on Ste\'e Gerko's sweeping hook shot. Rosen again stole the ball with but four seconds remaining and his desperation shot rolled around the rim before deciding to take an E-town roll and not go in. The score at the end of the regulation time was 68-68. In the five minute · overtime period, Clem Gavenas drew first blood for the Colonels but the scoring punch of the Davismen went ice-cold for four minutes as Elizabethtown grabbed an kight point lead. Last minute goals by Rosen and John Salsburg put the Blue and Gold back into contention as the seconds ticked away. The play became fast and furious in the closing seconds but neither team could score and the Blue J~ys held an 80-76 margin as time ' ran out. Defeat Lycoming; 72-70 The Colonel basketball team broke out of its loss doldrums Wednesday evening at Williamsport and defeated Lycoming. College, 7270. The squad's fifth win saw Clem Gavenas dump in a pair of foul shots after the game had ended. Gavenas had been clipped on a layup shot just as the final buzzer had sounded with the score tied at 7070. He made the two tries and gave the Davismen their second win over the Warriors this season. Harvey Rosen led the Colonel attack as he dumped in 32 points, the first WC hoopster to break into the 30 column this season. He had 13 goals in 22 attempts and sank six foul shots.

Once this is learned, there is no limit to what he can do. In the long run, the quality of a man's liberal education will be more important to his success in business than his specialized knowledge of business facts." This quote was taken from a recent spech delivered at Wayne State University by Theodore Yntena, the Ford Motor Company's vice-president of finance. The quote is also the essential theme of a recent article written by William Benton for a leading magazine. The article, titled, "The Failure of the Business Schools", is an urgent plea to American colleges to put an end to their narrow specialized business curriculums and to place greater emphasis on the liberal arts as a means of training the minds of youth to make intelligent and wise decisions which will affect our nation's future economy. Mr. Benton's provocative critique calls for some very deep thinking on the part of college administrators, faculty, and students. This thinking should begin with an analysis of liberal arts versus the specialized training offered, as such, by a business curriculum. The business curriculum is intended to prepare an individual to cope with near or immediate experiences. It trains an individual to cope with every known .problem that has been recognized by the author of such a textbook. The business student is taught, "principles of ..•"; he is taught to list in his notebook, for future reference, "advantages and disadvantages of ..." But - and without exception - a business curriculum cannot develop the mental discipline and reasoning powers which are so necessary for one's mind to think and reason beyond the known - beyond the immediate areas of human experience. And, after all, isn't this what a modem business world demands? Aren't business people looking for the deep-thinker; the creative thinker for their top level executive positions? As an afterthought, students should not forget and should face up to the fact that the modem firm is not looking for college. graduates to fill the lower management positions. These positions can easily be filled from within the company or from graduates of private secratarial schools. The next phase of our analysis should be, then, to consider how a future business executive can be properly trained to assume the awesome decisions and responsibilities which await him. The answer is simple, but not simple to attain. Only through tough mental exercise and "concentrated doses of English, mathematics, the natural sciences, history, psychology, economics, and the humanities" can a student be brought to a level where he is equipped to cope with the complexities of our modem life. No amount of specialized training and "principles" of this, and "principles" of that, can ever produce what is truly sought. Although the nearly complete disregard for all liberal arts courses in the business curriculum is widespread, the abuse of the English language, and the lack of ability to communicate is perhaps most apparent. The standards of English maintained in our undergraduate business schools are horribly low. English is left to the English class. No one is ever judged in a business course on his ability to write or speak correctly. In relation to this point Dean Teele of the Harvard postgraduate Business School said, "We're supposed to get the cream of the crop, but an incredible number of college graduates who apply for admission can't write a passable sentence." A valid conclusion, therefore, might be that two freshman composition courses are not enough for most students. Courses in advanced exposition or creative writing will lead to creative thinking. A course in logic will aid in the development of mental discipline: not a course testing one's knowledge of the principles of a successful brush salesman. The American fondness for shortcuts has only recently come under close scrutiny, only because these "shortcuts" have entered into the field of learning - a field where there is no substitute for mental discipline, and lengthy mental exercise. As Mr. Benton concluded, "Shortcuts to difficult objectives have a nasty habit of leading to blind alleys."

Almost every year this has been one of the questions addressed to members of the administration during the "Roving Mike" assembly, an assembly program during which the students may ask the administration any questions they might have regarding college plans and policies. This year, however, there will not be such an assembly, but partly because of the attention focused on the subject in an element of the local press, it deserves explanation. To those who are unfamiliar with the background regarding lack of athletic competition between the two colleges and the reasons for not resuming relations, the situation is indeed puzzling. The fact that the two are similar in many respects, and are located near each other seem to be the conditions necessary to establish and maintain what some would consider an avid and interesting intra-city collegiate athIetic rivalry. It is doubtless that a resumption of athletic relations between the two colleges would provide healthy barbershop and barroom conversation throughout the year and fill many sheets of foolscap. However, one should reserve judgment and criticism until he is familiar with all aspects involved. Immediately after World War ' II, when veterans had college education made available to them through the GI Bill, there were many in this area who enrolled at both Wilkes and King's Colleges under that program and as would be expected, participated in intercollegiate athletics. The two colleges did compete with each other at that time, there being an understanding that neither would engage in a wholesale reccruitment program and subsidization of athletes and that the place of athletics in the two schools would remain at the same level in relation to "more scholarly pursuits." The relationship continued on this basis for seven years, during which Wilkes dominated the gridiron and King's held sway on the basketball court. However, the emphasis on sports at King's underwent a change when Mr. Rocco English was named Director of Athletics. King's openly stated that it was going to build a powerful athletic machine and thereupon initiated a program under which it awarded, in one year alone, forty scholarships ·based primarily on athletic prowess. It was then obvious to those in positions of responsibility at Wilkes that the athletic policies of the two schools in relation to their place in education were entirely d1ssimilar. As a result, King's has not been scheduled on any Wilkes sport calendar since. The •situation is .now different. Mr. English is no longer at King's and ·King's College no longer ·. endeavors to acquire the reputation "Notre Dame of the small colleges." The philosophies of the two concerning the place and emphasis of athletics in a college are similar. At this point, one might be inclined to declare that because the two are so much alike, athletic relations should be resumed, however, more is involved in the maintenance of the status quo than consideration of academic, athletic, and scholarship policies. The primary reason is the past performane of th~ students of the two colleges at the games. In the first several years, a King's-Wilkes football or basketball game was an occasion for rallies and speeches on Public Square, bonfires, and other orderly conducted revelry. However, as often happens under such conditions, there were elements in both schools that thought such orderly conduct was highly irregular and decided to add a bit of what they considered to be the proper air for these events and began throwing paint and in other ways made the events not particularly pleasant to look forward to. Reminders of those days may still be viewed. One is quite close to Wilkes - the inscription "Beat King's" prominently displayed in white paint on the east tide of the old King's Science Building on West Northampton Street. The argument now naturally arises that hostile and disorderly elements no longer exist in either college. Attention should be brought to focus on the King's-Scranton basketball game played at the Scranton Catholic Youth Center last month. Newspaper reports attest to the near riot conditions that existed among the spectators at the game, and the fact that prefects in dormitories at King's were often up until two o'clock in the morning re-establishing order for a period of two weeks before the game is an indication of the spirit aroused. If such intense feelings, easily aroused to violence, exist in two colleges eighteen miles apart, one shudders to think what might happen twice a year involving two colleges just four blocks apart at athletic events considered traditional by the public. The respect that both colleges have gained in the community cannot be subjected to risk through possible destruction of private property and ugly public displays of rivalry. This lack of athletic competition between Wilkes and King's has recently been a subject for discussion in a local weekly newspaper, brought about primarily by Scranton University's decision to discontinue football. The subject has long been withheld by_people sincerely interested in the weltare of athletics at the two schools rather than those whose interest in the matter is more like that of a spectator and one interested in a source of newspaper copy. The increasing number of colleges discontinuing football has led some to erroneously believe that both King's and Wilkes may soon follow suit, pointing out that the heavy costs involved and the steady decrease in gate receipts will force the two schools to drop the sport for financial reasons. First of all, neither college is going to discontinue .football, nor are they going to resume athletic relations. Neither one considers football a source of revenue. It is merely another cost involved in the budget and is treated as such. It is understandable that colleges and universities which relegate to football the task of providing income will drop the sport when it consistently runs a deficit. This is strictly a cold, wise business decision. The great interest shown in professional football for the past several years has been instrumental in accelerating the decline of small college football. The shrinking gate receipts and increase in the number of losing seasons at a college might force a decision as to whether to discontinue the sport entirely or subsidize it to the extent of packing the teams so well that winning, profitable seasons are assured. _ ( continued on page 6) Team Away Against E.

The team captain made Tim Wong of Gettysburg his ninth consecutive victim of the season by pinning the Bullet hopeful in 1 :36. This was the "Mustang's" eighth pin of the season with his lone decision victory coming over his Dartmouth opponent. Marv made short work of Wong by taking him down early in the contest with an airplane spin and spent the next minute attempting to put Wong's shoulders to the mat.

The squad turned in its 28th consecutive win and ninth of the season Wednesday night in downing Gettysburg, 31-3. The only Colonel to be defeated was heavyweight Bob Herman who was decisioned by defending MAC champion Mike Pacilio. Brooke Yeager and Dick Stauffer both won on forfeit and Marv Antinnes, Ted Toluba, and Mike Armstrong all turned in falls. Armstrong made short work of Maisel with a 1 :40 pin. In the 147 pound class, Nick Stefanowski, wrestling in place of injured Harry Vogt, won a decision over Gettysburg's Gisman. Behind, 3-2 in the last ten seconds, Gisman got an escape from Stefanowski to tie the score but the Colonel won the decision on time advantage. Behind at the start of the final period, 2-1, Stefanowski worked a reversal on his opponent and spent the rest of the time on top. Marty Strayer kept his victory skein intact as he won a 9-0 decision over White. Toluba picked up five more points for the Colonels in pinning Young in 2:20. In the shortest action of the evening, Marv Antinnes put Tim Wong's shoulders to the mat in 1 :36. The heavyweight match saw an outweighed and weaker Bob Herman utilize his utmost in strength and skill against Pacilio. The MAC champion, however, used takedowns and reversals to pick up sufficient points. Herman's four points came on a reversal and two escapes. The determination and courage with which Herman wrestled the match can best be demonstrated by pointing to the lunge he took at Pacilio's legs in the last fifteen seconds in an effort to make a takedown.

In a rare venture beyond that of producing a newspaper. the Beacon took on the task, last week, of sponsoring Glamour magazine's "Best Dressed Coed on Campus" contest. The response from the student body and from the general public was beyond our fondest expectations. The fact that the contest itself was a success was evidenced by a turnout of approximately 250 fashion enthusiasts despite the inclement weather. As anyone who has ever worked with or organized a fashion show would know, it takes the full cooperation of quite a few people to insure a smooth program. We did not have many in number, but those who worked with us on a purely voluntary basis put in many hours "above and beyond the call of duty". The contestants, themselves, would no doubt wish us to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Juanita Miller who, along with her smooth, professional commentary, helped each girl "put her best foot forward" with some valuable tips. Miss Jan Bronson was her usual "ball of fire" self in taking care of the many small but important details which we had overlooked.

Varied Prorgam Planned For Freshman Weekend WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - The subject of this week's student sketch is Patricia Boyle, senior co-ed, who will graduate in June with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I talented Miss Boyle, a 1957 honor graduate of Hanover Township High School, was the recipient of an academic scholarship upon her matriculation at Wilkes. She began as an art major, but decided, in her fourth semester, that her real interest was in the English field. Pat has since accumulated fifty-five credits in English, fifteen credits beyond that required for an English major, which would seem to indicate that she is happy in her present field. However, her interest in art has not been neglected. She continues to paint, sketch, and do woodcuts. Some of her work has appeared in the Manuscript and in campus exhibitions. Pat also finds time to design and make many of her own clothes. _______ The eldest of the seven daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James F. Boyle of Hanover Green, Pennsylvania, when asked, "What do you do in your leisure time?" replied, "Who has U leisure time?" This remark may be partially due to the fact that Pat is a staff member on all three camt, . ' pus publications.

Many students, particularly those who are not properly considered liberal art students, could broaden their education ·by participating in and attending the programs sponsored by the Art, Music and English departments."

Stroud. Highlight Roski's Play Tomorrow the basketball ieam closes the 1960-61 season with a game away at Trenton, New Jersey against Rider College. It will be the last game for the four members of the team slated for June graduation; Eddie Kemps, John Salsburg, and co-captains Ron Roski and Clem Gavenas. The Davismen dropped a 105-92 decision to East Stroudsburg State College last Saturday at East Stroudsburg. It marked the first time this season that scoring by either team in a Colonels' contest has gone over the 100 mark. Harvey Rosen led all scorers with 29 points. Ron Roski had 22 for the Colonels, Ed Kemps had 13, Tom Pugh and Clem Gavenas each had 12 and Steve Gerko had four. Their home finale was a winning effort as they downed Rutgers of South Jersey at the gym Monday night, 98-83. After overcoming an early 6-2 Pioneer lead, the Colonels opened up with a wild scoring spree with Gavenas and Roski leading the way. Halfway through the opening half Tom Pugh connected for three consecutive jump shots to give the Blue and Gold a 34-17 lead. The two teams matched baskets for the remainder of the first half and at the between-halves break Wilkes held a comfortable 48-29 lead. After an apparently inspiring talk from their coach, the Pioneers came back strong in the second half and used a full-court press to keep the Colonels busy. The Rutgers team cut the Colonels' lead from 23 points down to seven by midway in the half, 74-67. The Colonels again began to pull away as speedster Kemps and Harvey Rosen worked effectively against the press. Kemps and Rosen offset the aggressive Pioneers' drives as they dumped in 15 fouls in the last twelve minutes to maintain the Colonels' scoring edge. Six men hit in the double figures for the Colonels. Harvey Rosen led the team with 20, Clem Gavenas and For his salient performance in leading the Colonel cagers to a hard-fought 98-83 home finale victory over Rutgers of South Jersey, Ron Roski was chosen this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". Tornadoes .Blank 'Cats; Playboys Lead Pack, Williams' 211 Sets Pace The 6'-4" co-captain registered a 17-point scoring outburst with eight goals and a foul and was a "bull of the boards" as he pulled in 18 rebounds. This eminent display of basketball ability was rounded out by his great defensive play illustrated in his many blockings of Rutgers field goal shots. This is "Big Steve's" fourth season in the Blue and Gold ranks and his third season as a starter. During his freshman year he played in the limelight of Wilkes' all time great, George Morgan, and was thrown in the center post to replace Morgan during his sophomore year. The pressure on Ron was great but he fulfilled his role as "big man" of the Davismen. Last year the amiable cager hit a high point by leading the Colonels to a near .500 season and was counted on to be the leader of the '60-'61 squad. He started the season with a bang and led the basketeers to a 3-1 record. Shortly after the Christmas vacation he was stricken with a stomach disorder and was unable to carry the leadership load as the Colonels faltered. In the last three weeks Ron has regained his stature and has led the Colonels to wins over Lycoming and Rutgers and to near-victories over Drexel, Elizabethtown, and Upsala. "Big Steve" is a graduate of Plymouth High School where he won All-Star ratings in football and Ron Roski each had 17, Ed Kemps 14, Tom Pugh eleven, and Steve Gerko had ten. John Salsburg and Dick Morgan rounded out the scoring with five and four points respectively. The wrestling team is at Moravian College in Bethlehem this weekend to defend its MAC wrestling championship for the fourth consecutive year. Marv Antinnes and Dick Staulfer will both be defending their titles for the second straight year. The squad brought the curtain down on another undefeated season last Saturday afternoon at the gym as they downed a strong C. W. Post team, 24-6, for their 29th consecutive dual victory and third straight undefeated season. · The only Colonels to be defeated were Mike Armstrong and Bob Herman, who lost by decisions to their opponents. Brooke Yeager won the 123 pound match with an 8-5 decision over Tom Frangella. Frangella started fast by picking up three points with a take-town and a preSunday night's action saw the dicament in the opening minutes of cellar-dwelling Tornados come out the match.

Sophomore Class to Kick Off Jazz Concert; Shubert Gives Album Junior Class Launches Dinner Dance as First Social Function Manuscript Fine Stands· Student Govt. Upholds ' Activities Regulations by J. L. Shilanski After considering an appeal made by Kurt Roberts, president of the Manuscript Society, the Student Government voted to uphold its previous verdict. The Society will be fined twenty dollars for failing to comply with the Student Goveernment's policy on the submission of an activities form for all open functions held on campus and for not obtaining permission from the organization which had been awarded that particular calendar date. The Manuscript Film Society neglected to file the proper forms for the showing of The Idiot, which was held February 24, the sam e evening as the Lettermen's Cherry Tree Chop. However, no definite date has been set for final payment of the fine and the society still has the prerogative to refer this decision to the Court of Appeals. At Monday's meeting plans for th e forthcoming Spring Weekend and the Cinderella Ball were also discussed. The Weekend of May 12-14 has been chosen and will begin with the Cinderella Ball on Friday evening. After much discussion a motion to make the attire for this dance formal was carried by a 9-4 majority. Herbie Green has been engaged to provide music. Price of the tickets will be $2.00 per couple. It was announced that a Student Leaders Conference will be held on March 13 in the cafeteria beginning at 6 :30 p.m. All student leaders are asked to attend this meeting, at which will be discussed topics of interest to all. Two new committees w ere appointed. Mike Bianco will head a committee to be known as the Student Organization Evaluation Committee. Plans are being made to conduct a survey on student leadership here on campus, and it is expected that this survey will continue into next semester. The other committee formed Monday night was a Committee to study the parking facilities and to see what can be done to aleviate the parking p r o b 1 e m. Betsy Hoeschele was appointed chairman of this committee. Plans for a joint meeting or seminar of the Wilkes and King's College Student Governments to be held in the near future were also discussed. It was decided that topics of mutual concern should be considered. It was noted that the Student Government Office has recently been redecorated and a suggestion to send a letter of appreciation to members of the crew will be enacted. Betsy Hoeschele reported that arrangements for Student Government Pins had been made. This year's pins will be engraved with the words Student Government rather than Student Council. Jim Walters, treasurer of the organization, moved to transfer the necessary funds from the Student Government treasury to the treasury of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations so that the club might attend the Model General Assembly, to be held in New York later this month.

Arrangements for the conference have been made under the direction of Miss Betsy Hoeschele, permanent chairman. Miss Hoeschele and Michael Bianco, Northeast Regional Director, are shown above. Similar conferences will be held in each of the other districts of the state including southeastern, cent er, southwestern and northwestern parts. Schools sending delegates to the northeastern assembly are: East Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, Hazleton campus of Penn State, Keystone Junior, King's, Kutztown, Lafayette, Lehigh, Lycoming, Mansfield, Marywood, Misericordia, Moravian, Scranton, and Wilkes. Delega.tes numbering 125 to 200 are exepcted to attend. Those planning to arrive on Saturday will be greeted by a reception at Chapman Hall, under the name of "Hillbilly Party" and will be housed on campus overnight. The conference itself will begin on Sunday morning with registration at 9 a.m. in Stark Hall. Coffee and donuts will be served to delegates at this time. From 9:45 to 10 :15 the Executive Committee will be in session. This meeting will include the nomination and election of Regional Speaker, Clerk and Parliamentarian. Mike Bianco, junior political science major, is a candidate for the office of Regional Speaker with a large bloc of votes pledged to Wilkes. The Speaker's main job is to preside at the general assembly. Also at the Executive session, the proposed Constitution for the region will be discussed and voted on. After the Executive session the Legislature will meet. For this session, each delegate will be assigned to one of five committees. These committees will be: Labor and Industry; Health, Education and Welfare; Highways, Transportation, Agriculture, and Natural Resources; Judicial and Congressional Reapportionment; and Taxation and Finance. Each committee usually introduces and debates three bills concerning its particular area. All of the bills have been written by the students themselves. Bills are then sent to the Gen eral Assembly for discussion and vote. Dinner will be served to the delegates in the cafeteria after adjournment of the Legislative session. Syracuse University were also made available. Immediately preceding the business meeting Bill Davis, parlimentarian of the Student Government, led the group in a workshop on parliamentary procedures. Activity forms accepted this month were as follows: Manuscript Film Society, showing of Little Fugitive to be held in Stark Hall March 17; Senior Class Sham Rock Dance, March 17 in the gymnasium; Chapman-Ashley Dormitory to be held in Chapman Hall on March 11; and the Sterling-Barre Dormitory, April 28. Members present at this month's meeting were: Betsy Hoeschele, Beverly Major, Bill Davis, Mike Bianco, John Hosage, Rich Rees, Carol Thomas, Ted Begun, Lorraine Rome, Jim Walters, Tom Schaffer, Lou Coopey, and Fred Smithson. As an added touch just to show that the Student Government is not made up of a bunch of "dead heads" who lack humor, Mike Bianco moved that a sympathy card be sent to President John Hosage in consideration for his administrative problems. The motion was unanimously carried. At 1 :30 the General Assembly will meet to debate and vote on the bills returned from the Legislative Committees. Dean George Ralston, Mayor Frank Slattery, and representatives from the Democratic and Republican caucuses were invited to address the General Assembly by Mike Bianco, Northeastern Regional Director. This conference is being held in preparation for the State Convention of the I. C.G. in Harrisburg, to be held on April 13-15. The purpose of the organization is for the students to learn government •b y participation. �Friday, March 10, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Wilson Fellowships Awarded To Future College Professors 'Manuscript' Sets Dates For Literary Art Work Deadli~e sTuDENT 5K;TcHEs • PRINCETON, N.J., March 10-The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation today named 1,333 students from 381 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada as Woodrow Wilson Fellows for 1961-62, the largest number ever elected by the Foundation in its 15-year search for prospective college teachers. In announcing the 1961-62 winners, Sir Hugh Taylor, President of the Foundation, estimated the total value of this year's awards at $3,000;000. The fellowships cover the first year of graduate study and are meant to encourage the newly-elected fellows to consider college teaching as a possible career. Nominations for these highly-competitive awards are made by the students' professors. Screening of candidates also is done by 15 regional committees drawn from the academic profession. Winners were chosen from 10,453 nominees, representing a 21 per cent increase over last year and a five-fold increase since the program was expanded in 1957 by a $24,500,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. "The unprecedented increase in the number of nominees," Sir Hugh said, "has enabled us, after the keenest of competitions, to recruit young people who possess the highest qualities of intellect and character, and particularly those who had never thought of a professional career, or at least were undecided about it." More than 23 fields of study, nearly all in the humanities and social sciences, are represented by this year's winners. Those in mathematics and natural sciences represent 15.9 per cent of the total. The winners, of whom 28.2 per cent are women, will be enrolled in 90 different graduate schools in this country and Canada. The Foundation accorded Honorable Mention to 1,614 others. A list of their names, fields of study, and their undergraduate colleges has been sent to the deans of all graduate schools in the United States and Canada and to the Foundation's faculty r epresentatives on 1,126 campuses. On the basis of past experience, the Foundation anticipates that most of those winning Honorable Mention will receive alternate awards either directly from universities or from other organizations. Dr. Hans Rosenhaupt, National Director of the Foundation, noted the following points about this year's competition: 1. Larger numbers are turning to college teaching as a "prestige" career despite opportunities to earn more in other fields. 2. More students of outstanding ability are being recruited from hundreds of colleges indicating the high quality of education in many lesser-known schools. 3. Candidates are choosing their graduate schools on the basis of their own needs rather than the general prestige of the institution. Inconsequence, their choices of graduate school represent a larger list than ever before. In addition to the awards for first-year graduate study, the Foundation annually makes subvention payments totalling nearly $2,000,000 to the various graduate schools where Woodrow Wilson Fellows enroll. Three-fourths of the fund must be used for second-year awards to graduate students regardless of whether they are Wilson Fellows. The remainder may be used at the discretion of the graduate schools to improve library facilities, raise faculty salaries, provide counseling services, or otherwise to improve their program of study. Since the Fellowships program began, the Foundation has elected a total of 5,608 Woodrow Wilson Fellows, including those announced today. At the recent meeting of the Manuscript Association, the membership considered the possibility of extending the deadlines for the acceptance of manuscripts and art work. It was decided that the deadline for art work will be ext ended until March 31 and the deadline for manuscripts until April 8. These deadlines must be met if the publication is to be ready for distribution on campus during the third week of May. Students wishing to submit manuscripts may give their work to any member of the Manuscript Association or may drop their entries into the Manuscript mailbox n ear the back door of the Library. Students interested in having their art work published may either give their contributions to the Manuscript members or submit them to the art department where they will be kept until the judging of art work to be held in Conyngham Annex on Tuesday, March 21. The election of works to be published will be left to the discretion of the editorial board. Students are reminded that prizes will be awarded at the A wards Assembly to the students who have submitted the most outstanding contributions in the fields of poetry, the short story, the essay, and art. Manuscripts already submitted are presently on file in the Library where members may read and evaluate them at their leisure upon presenting the librarian with proper credentials as bona fide members of the Manuscript. by J.

WISE POTATO CHIP PLANT Members of the Accounting Club w ere g uests of the Wise Potato Chip Company last Friday. The students, led by Leonard Reese, toured the Berwick plant and business offices. The tour began in the conference rooms of the firm with a showing of a film on the actual production of potato chips. The students then proceeded to the general offices where they obs-erved the various procedures and techniques used by the business offices. The most interesting aspect of the tour was the operation of the IBM "Ramac" computer which analyzes and retains production data with its electronic memory. A visit to the Internal Revenue's district office in Scranton in the near future is the next field trip on the agenda for the Accounting Club members and their guests. · Percussion V1rluoso Plans lo Further Education in Music While rambling about the campus this week, looking for a likely subject, who we could immortalize in the annals of the Beacon, we came across a percussion virtuoso, lurking in the gables of Gies Hall. He is none other than Harry S. Owens, a senior music education major, who as rumor has it can play anything you can hit and get quite a bang out of life doing it. Owens, a resident of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, has been beating the drums for more than ten years, and is the winner of the DeWitt Music A ward, presented annually by the Forty Fort High School to its outstanding music student. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Owens and the eldest of their three children. He has a brother who is a freshman at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and a younger sister. Immediately after graduating from high school in 1957 Harry entered the Music Education curriculum at Susquehanna University. He transfered to Wilkes after his first semester and has since become a valuable asset to the growing Music Department here on campus. He is president of the Concert Band; Secretary of the Collegians; Secretary of the local chapter of the Student Music Educators National Conference; a member of the Harry Owens Mixed Chorus; Percussion Ensemble; and the Wind Ensemble.

EYEGLASS DRIVE PROGRESS The Economics Club's annual eyeglass collection campaign is proceeding on schedule and collections have been good. Jim Allen, chairman of this year's drive, reports that students on campus and the public in general are .contributing generously. According to Allen every type of spectacles has been received from monacles to the fanciest bi-focals of today. Contributions have been made in boxes especially provided for that purpose; the containers last week were placed on campus and members of the Eyeglasses Committee personally manned pickup stations on Public Square. T h e eyeglasses contributions were spurred last week by a display on Public Square by the American Optometries Society. Students who wish to contribute discarded spectacles will find containers in conspicuous places on campus next week. C.C.U.N.

I �2 Friday, March 17, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL 111111111111111111111111 Horatio Alger Award We recently received some interesting material from an organization known as the "Horatio Alger Awards Committee of the American Schools and Colleges Association". The title of the committee means nothing, of course, if the name, Horatio Alger, draws a blank. Alger was a famous American author specializing in juvenile books. After graduating from Harvard in 1852, he settled in New York and became interested in the condition of self-supporting boys. He wrote approximately fifty novels on this subject. including "Ragged Dick", "Tattered Tom", and "Luck and Pluck" - all of which became very popular. Alger is also recognized for his series of juvenile biographies on the lives of such notables as Webster, Lincoln, Garfield, and others. Thus, to honor the name of Alger and to foster the American tradition of the opportunities and rewards for initiative, ability, and hard work, the committee was formed approximately fifteen years ago. Some of the previous winners of the Alger Awards have been: J. C. Penney, Bernard Baruch, C. L. Kettering, Charles E. Wilson, Adolph Zuker, Benjamin F. Fairless, Joyce C. Hall, Clifford Hood, Dr. Milton Eisenhower, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, and Herbert Hoover. Ballots for this year's Horatio Alger Award conduc:ted by the American Schools and Colleges Association have been mailed. Wilkes has received five ballots. Eighteen outstanding Americans are listed on the ballot from which nine are to be chosen. Those students who are sincerely interested in taking part in the selection of the award winners are invited to drop into the Beacon office and pick up a ballot. The deadline for submitting the ballots is March 31, and we again remind you that we have only five ballots. Ballots will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. We expect some response!

Folek, subject of band, Dr. Stanko Vujica, who is this week's "student sketch", it is the opinion of this reporter studying on a Fulbright grant. * :;: :;: that the future will find Walt somewhere in the city of New York Dear Cynthia: Often I become very sad when evening falls over Lahore. There is a blue-gray haze in the air, and the birds, nestling in the mangotrees, twitter their evening song. The muezzin calls for prayer, and in this holy month of Ramazan, at sunset the Muslim breaks his fast; the streets are deserted, as everyone is at home preparing for the m eal. The dust grows darker and softer. Only the monotonous rhapsody of the crickets breaks the sudden, weird silence. This is the time to take account of the day and put into one's notebook impressions and thought. Leafing through my notebook, I . find a number of topics about which I intended to write, but the subject which is uppermost in my mind and which keeps coming back to me is the position of the woman in the Orient. I don't think I shall ever be completely happy after having seen that half of the population of the teaming Orient are in a state worse than that in which slaves ever lived. As one prominent Pakistani woman, the only woman in the legislature, said, "The greatest slavery that the world has ever known and that the twentieth century has to conquer, is the subjugation of the women." V erY seldom do women venture into the outside world. When they do, they are scared, bewildered, and terribly curious, almost dumbspelled. There are many pleasant things in this land - flowers in a riot of colors, marble palaces, exotic birds, a stroll along the flowering wheat fields, or a lazy chat in a tea-stall, but not for the secluded women: their faces are covered, their minds are closed and their hearts are afraid. To illustrate, let me relate a few personal experiences. She was accompanied by an older gentleman and a little girl. As she was signing her check, she lifted her veil, and I saw her deep eyes, full of unspeakable sadness. She smiled meekly, and I asked her if the man next to her was her husband and if the child was her daughter. The question was not unusual, because very often you can see a very old man married to a child-bride. She told me that he was her father; her husband h:i,d just sent her back home. No formalities were required by Muslim law - she was simply told to leave. The reason given was that she bore him four daughters, and no son. "He does not support me or the children, and he does not give me a divorce either. He says that he is punishing me for not having sons." She spoke in adequate English, being a graduate of a women's college in Lahore. "He got married to a young woman." "How many sons did she 'give' him?" I asked. She smiled shyly. "They don't have children." "My t w o grandfathers a r e brothers," a rich Pakistani begum told m e. "My parents are first cousins, and all my children married their cousins. This way, ..." she added with a tone of pride in her voice, "the men keep the wealth in the family." Raj, our cook's wife, is twentyfive years old, and they already have five children. She is a Christian, an.d does not cover her face, but otherwis~ her life is just as drab and secluded as that of her sisters. The . Christians are converts from the lowest caste, the former untouchables, and they belong to the poorest segment of the population doing only menial work if they are lucky to find it. I met Niget, a young college girl, who was engaged to a rich boy she has not yet met. She will see him for the first time when she moves into his house. Whenever . . . either on Wall Street or Yankee Stadium. However, whether it be a stock exchange or the infield, we at Wilkes will surely hear of this versatile senior commerce and finance major. It is largely through his efforts that a defunct program which originated here at the college in 1956 has been revitalized. As chairman of the Economics Club's stock committee, Walt explained that his committee's purpose is to create an interest in the investment field and the buying of stocks. One of its primary aims at the present is the investment of approximately $250, which the Economics Club raised through raffles and other money-making projects. Plans are being made ,t o invest this money in the stock of such companies as Sperry-Rand, Ronson Corporation, and the Peabody Coal Company. Dividends from this investment will revert to the club. From the athletic standpoint, this Wilkes-Barre Township resident has been a valuable asset to the college baseball team since he came to Wilkes as a freshman in January of 1958. · Wait recalls playing third base that year with his present coach, Mike Dydo, holding down "first". Folek, now 25·, says that they probably had one of the oldest teams in college baseball that year, since nearly the whole team was made up of veterans. He has played varsity ball for the . past three years and is looking forward to a good season for himself at second base and a winning team for Wilkes. Walt, a 1953 graduate of WilkesBarre T own s h i p High School, played four years of baseball and two years of football. He entered the U. S. Navy immediately upon graduation. He spent four years in the service at various bases across the country and completed most of his last two years aboard the large attack carrier, USS Saratoga, CV A60. During his · tour of duty he rose to the grade of Aerographer Second Class, a nd was trained by the Navy to do weather forecasting. While he was stationed on the Atlantic Coast, he visited "ports of call" in Scotland, England, France, and Cuba. It was during his enlistment in the Navy, when he put some of his savings into a mutual stock fund, that be became interested in the investment field, and he decided to enter college. Walt has accelerated his program here at Wilkes by attending summer sessions, and he will graduate in June, after having spent only three and one-half years in college. He hopes to work in the New York area as an investment researcher, and to continue his education at night, so that he might Walt Folek receive his master's degree and realize the long range plans of becoming an investment analyst. Folek feels that the liberal education that he received here has provided him with the basic tools for entering the business world. He was particularly appreciative of the help he received from his instructors in the Commerce and Finance department. He added that he has thoroughly . enjoyed his years at Wilkes and would choose it ·again for his undergraduate work, if he had to do it. However, one change that. he . would like to see m ade in the business curriculum is ,t he requirement of the six semester· hours to twelve semeste~ hours in accounting. He reasoned that by doing so the business student would find the advanced courses in accounting very beneficial. Among the other activities in which Walt participates are the Society for the Advancement of Management, of which he is the treasurer, and the Lettermen's Club. He has also worked at various jobs during his summer vacations. Last summer he served as playground instructor for Wilkes-Barre Township, where he resides . with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph K. Folek of 62 Spruce Street. Cue 'n' Curtain Plans Spring Performances by Mary Frances Barone The Cue 'n' Curtain has a numerous amount of activities planned to finish the season.

Now that swimming, basketball, and wrestling competition have been brought to their natural ends and before we are subjected to batting averages, love sets, pars, birdies, and fielders' choices, it is well to examine the efforts of the three winter sports mentioned above. The brightest spot of all is, of course, wrestling. The dieters and orange-eaters retired from the mat with an unblemished record of nine wins and no losses and capped the season by taking the Middle Atlantic Conference tournament at Moravian College. The two toughest meets were against Hofstra and Lycoming Colleges, with Moravian threatening an upset by moving its men down a weight class in an effort to bring more strength to bear against the Colonels. The Moravian meet was highlighted by draws and the pin victories by Harry Vogt and Marv Antinnes were the deciding factors. Marv Antinnes broke Jim Ward's old records in number of points scored and consecutive victories. Marv racked up 146 points scored and won 36 while losing only one match in dual meet competition during his four years of collegiate wrestling. Marty Strayer turned out to be the surprise of the season. He went undefeated and has only a draw to mar his record. The 157-pounder went on and took the title in his weight class at the MAC tourney. A smooth operator on the mat, it is a distinct pleasure watching this freshman at work against an opponent. The support given the wrestlers by the student body has been particularly good during the season. Large crowds at Lycoming and Moravian attest to the squad's loyal following. The basketball team was off to an impressive start at the beginning of the season but early in December hit a snag and lost its winning record. Coupled with an illness to Ron Roski and the loss of Bernie Kosch through graduation were the opponents' ability to use fast breaks and fancy passing to great scoring advantage. Harvey Rosen was the dark horse at the beginning of the campaign but emerged as the most outstanding performer. The consistent play of Roski and Gavenas after the Christmas holidays, with Roski handling the backboards and Gavenas dumping in his accurate set shots, led the way. The team began to function smoother and defeated Rider to end the 7-14 season on a winning note. The swimming team was beset by lack of experience and the loss of two of its best men for a considerable part of the season. Art Eckhart contracted infectious mononucleosis after having participated in only two meets and John Miller, diving ace, severely injured his leg in a practice dive. Despite the fact that Miller won three out of the four diving events in which he participated in addition to aiding in the freestyle relay, the three meets in which he did not participate would not have gone the other way if he had been able to swim. Roger Rolfe and Dick Bender garnered most of the scoring while Eckhart matched his own SO-yard freestyle record. Needless to say, the team can only improve from here on in.

While the Department of State in Washington has continuous openings for stenographers and typists, the urgent need is for secretaries and stenographers fo r the Foreign Service, and there are also positions in the Foreign Service for communications clerks. "Our Foreign Service •is expanding with the creation, in the last year, of several n ew independent r epublics, and with the prominence of the United States in world. affairs," said Miss Chalker. "This o.ffers increased opportunities to those persons who have . a real desire to serve their country in a much-needed .capacity. While living conditions are often quite different from those at home, and while duties may be routine in nature, the majority, by far, of Foreign Service p e r s o n n e 1 find their greatest r ewards in t erms of service to their country, opportunities for the development of their understanding of the customs and pr oblems of other peoples, and the challenge of adapting themselves to new situations in an exciting, behind-the-news atmosphere." "These are civilian jobs in embassies and consulates, with starting pay ranging from $334 to $375 a month, supplemented by overseas allowances and offering six weeks of paid home leave in the United States between each two-year tour of duty." How does one qualify for such a position in the Foreign Service? Basically, Foreign Service secretaries, with beginning salaries of $4,495 annually ,must type 50 words a minute and take shorthand at 96 . Stenographers starting at an annual salary of $4,010 must type at 50 and take shorthand at 80 words a minute. Communications clerks, with the same starting .salary as stenographers, must type 45 words a minute. Preference for the communications clerk position is given .to male applicants. All must be at least 21 years of age, high school graduates with office experience, single with no dependents, in excellent health, and American citizens for at least five years. In order to qualify for positions in the Department of State in Washington, D.C., they must be at least 18, and American citizens in good health. A typist must have a speed of 40 words a minute and a stenographer must type 40 and take shorthand at 80 words a minute. Beginning salaries range from $3,500 to $4,345 annually. Interviews will be conducted in Philadelphia from M arch 20 through March 30, Pennsylvania Employment Service Office, 1218 Chestnut Street, 9 :00 a.m. to 4 :00 1 p.m., Monday through Friday; Wednesdays, until 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday, March 25, until 12 noon.

"Patents have been issued for filtered glass, filtered gas, filter tip pens, and the ever-present filter tip cigarettes. "An even more serious type of filtering is carried out by the patriotic ·societies, religious groups, and special interest cliques who regulate the press, .television, and radio to filter away the undesirable. Communications media must express the safe, the sound, the right viewpoint. Indelicate thoughts, unpretty language, and tabooed topics are filtered out - they must not be discussed and debated before the easily offended American public. "Where and how ·often may one hear an unbiased television discussion of socialized medicine, of recent improvements within Red China, of birth control, or of euthanasia? "Our educational system which also reflects the 'filtering' trend of our culture indoctrinates young and growing minds with the values and mores o four society. And through the process of public school education the student gets the impression that it is b etter to study and have unquestioning faith in the principles of 'our two-party system,' of 'Christianity', of the 'American Way' than to examine the 'undesirable ideologies,' the 'unChristian' philosophies, the 'unsound' ideas · for truth. "Castroism, Communism, Socialism, agnosticism, atheism, Hinduis, Mohammedism, or the beliefs of the classical philosophers can offer no wor thwhile values for the right way of life - the American, the Christian way. "Do you feel uncomfortable, offended, resentful .a t the mere mention of these ·isms?" If so, you may be a victim of filterism. "The searching mind, the open mind - the mind not conditioned to the automatic acceptance of the good and the true as directed by our society - retains its individual identity, its awareness of a multiplicity of choice, and its stimulation from a challenging and exciting world. " Yet the realization of an open and inquiring mind is a major goal of higher education - to teach the student to think for himself and not be merely a stereotyped record, a mimic, an elaborate filtering machine. "Or is what 'They' say correct after all ? - That questioning the 'traditional truths', the 'eternal truths' and looking for other answers; other explanations, and by Joyce Cary This novel is the final part of Joyce Cary's trilogy consisting of Herself Surprised, To Be A Pilgrim, and The Hurse's Mouth. The trilog y tells the stories of three people, the engaging amoralist Sara Monday, her eccentric lover Thomas Wilcher, and the renegade artist Gulley Jimson. Each of the characters relates events from his own viewpoint and familiarity with the trilogy increases one's appreciation of the individual novels. . In The Horse's Mouth we meet Gulley Jimson, a delightful cut-up who lives to paint. At sixty-five he has the freshness and candor of a child. His days are spent "borrowing" painting materials from the local store in addition to evading the police. His frequ ent visits to the prison are spent in the spiritual companionship of his erstwhile inspiration, Billy Blake. Sara Monday, his former lover, is an old coquette who still puts LITYLE MAN ON CAMPUS THE HORSE'S MOUTH Gulley in a flutter on occasion. Much of the novel reverts to Gulley's memories of the days when he and Sara lived, loved and created ar.t together. At that time Gulley pr oduced his finest work. But the present finds him frustrated in his attempts to paint. His mind overflows with ideas, yet he lac,ks the money and materials to put them down on canvas. Cary gives us the picture of an artist. Gulley's whole life is art. If he has a piece of paper, he begins to sketch; if he finds a good wall he begins to paint. He is perfectly amoral, inconsiderate and delightful. He is not a paper character but an alive being-type artist. Sara also is a renegade. She is naive and calculating, thoroughly b elievable and most endearing. Cary's genius for creating real people is well illustrated. His character s become an art of the r eader's memory pattern, as if they w ere next door neighbors.

The jazz concert will consist of two full hours of contemporary jazz renditions of original compositions and "old time" favorites. Brent O'Connell, president of the Sophomore Class which is sponsoring the affair, and general chairman, has announced that it will begin at 8:30 p.m. Cooperation Planned In Areas of Interest The Student Govei·nment was host to King's Student Council on Monday night. The joint meeting was held to diiscuss areas of mutual -interest and areas where cooperation between the two colleges could be improved. It was ·ei:nphasized that the colleges cooperate in various areas at the present time, these areas including the debating tournaments, the chemical societies, the I.C.G., and .the library exchange program. Tl).e main topic of discussion during the evening centered around the resumption of King's-Wilkes athletic competition. Neil George of King's gave the history of the existing controversy as he understood it. It was decided that the conflict at the time of the break o'f athletic relationships between the colleges was based chiefly on the fact that King's did not then belong to the Middle Atlantic Conf erence and was not governed by the same rules to which Wilkes adhered. _ It was then pointed out that · · K1ng's has since become a member _of the Middle Atlantic Conference and is governed by the same rules that Wilkes follows. The problem of the double standard is thereby alleviated. : The question of damages caused by over-zealous s t u d e n t s was raised. The consensus of the King's students seemed to be that damages dii.d not create a serious problem; Wilkes students were less optimistic on this issue. lt was suggested "that; should competition be resumed, the students of both schools be reminded of their role in maintaining a reasonable calm. Bill Davis moved that a mutual recommendation be presented to both admiillistrations suggesting that athletic competition be resumed. Dick Buckley of King's -seconded the motion on the resolution. The resolution was passed unanimously. Other questions discussed by the group included: the possibility of a joint jazz concert, the functions of the respective student governments, the method of representing the · freshman class before class elections, areas of cooperation for community services, and the possibility of acquiring joint speakers. ·W ilkes' Student Government will travel to King's for a second joint meeting some time during the month of May. Kdngsmen attending the meeting included: Frank Harrison, Student Council -president; Bob McDonald, Student Council secretary and Senior Class president; Jim Grutko, Student Council treasurer; Douglas Kerans, Junior Class president; Neil George, Junior representative; Dick Buckley, Sophomore Class president; Vince Oina, Sophomore Class president; Bill Rooney, Freshman Cla:ss president; Howard Fedrick, Freshman representative; and Bernie Grzyb, editor of the Crown.

I The Dave Brubeck Quartet consists of Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, and Gene Wright, in addition ,t o Brubeck. The group has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Symphony Hall, Newport Jaz·z Festival, and New York Jazz Festival. The quartet has also played at such famous night clubs as Birdland, Blue Note, Storyville, and Town Casino. The repertoire of the group includes numerous contemporary jazz selections and "old time" favorites including "Indigo Blues", "Strange Meadowlark", "Swanee River", "Three to Get Ready", "Lonesome River", "Camptown Races' and "Old Man River". The group has made tours in Turkey, India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq. Besides the various foreign countries, they have been to various college and unli.versity campuses throughout the nation. Dave Brubeck, the originator of the group, began as a concert pianist. However, the main product of the artist is jazz. He was one of the jazz stars chosen to salute Duke Ellington at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958. One of his achievements us his ability to blend three cultures in some of his music-the formalism of classical western music, freedom of jazz improvisation, and the complex pulse of American folk music. He has even used a Turkish folk rhythm. His background as a concert pianist has affected the harmony of the group. However, it has been said by some critics that some of Brubeck's piano solos seem so far removed from melody and harmony that one doubts whether any return is possible. Brubeck started with a trio, but when Paul Desmond added his alto sax to the group, it became known as the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Desmond and Brubeck first met while they were in the army. After the war they met again in San Francisco and worked together. Their musical ideas blended so well that they have been generally recognized as one of the finest of jazz artists dn the use of counterpoint. Joe Morello, drummer for the Quartet, began his career with the Johnny Smdth Quintet. Later he worked with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, and joined Brubeck in October of 1956. He is considered a keen wit by the group and he hails from Springfield, Mass. The newest member of the Brubeck staff is Gene Wright, who joined the group in January, 1958. He joined the group in time for the U. S. State Department tour of the Middle East. Gene is considered an excellent 'Bunny Brawl' Is Theme of Education Club Pre-Easter Dance The last dance before the Easter vacation will be the 'Bunny Brawl', sponsored by the Education Club, in the gymnasium tonight from 9 to 12 p.m. Eleanor Brehm, chairman of the decorations committee, has announced that the gymnasium will be decorated in the Easter motif of gold and purple. Bobby Baird and his jazz ensemble will provide music for this dance. During intermission, the lucky ticket stub holder will receive a surprise door prize. The admission price is fifty cents. General chairman of the dance is Mary Ann Foley, vice-president of the Education Club and junior English education major. Assisting her are the following: band, Jan Bronson; decorations, Eleanor Brehm; refreshments, Bill Mulford; tickets, Rena Lewine; publicity, Leona Baiera. bass player by va11ious critics and musicians, and he has worked with other prominent groups before joining Brubeck. The Quartet tries to blend the practices of serious music with those of jazz. They improvise on harmony and rhythm as well as melody. Except for the set beginnings and endings, the players improvise wiith freedom. Owen Francis and Ted Begun, cochairmen of arrangements for the affair, announced that the seating capacity of 3200 persons will be provided 1n the gymnasium. Other arrangements have been made for the co-operation of the city police and fire departments. The police will supervise the parking situation. The publicity committee has also worked a great deal under the management of Mark Levy and Ron Sebolka. Approximately 500 posters have been distributed throughout the Valley and at various colleges. Wilkes College students have also appeared on the Lee Vincent radio program in behalf of the concert. Conrad Wagner, chairman of the ticket committee, has announced that 500 reserved seat tickets are on sale at the price of $3.50 each. The general admission is $2.00.

The women of Wilkes have voted to organize an Associated Women Students group on campus. This move was made at the special women's assembly held last Tuesday in the First Presbyterian Clubhouse. Associated Women Students has as its objective uniting the wonien of the college through self-government and the enlarging of their general education. This would be accomplished through various boards whose members would be selected by the women themselves. The organization also hopes to stimulate the interest of the women of the local communities in the college, and provide women students with the benefits of community work. XIIXIXXXJXXXIIIXXXXXXIXJ Dear Editor: Tonight one of my roommates went to an oratorio practice in Gies Hall and brought home a copy of the February 24 Beacon. My compliments on an excellent edition. You seem to have achieved something which is the aim of all college papers but also a very elusive goal a paper which draws reader interest as a magnet draws a row of pins. Your editorial was timely and hit hard at something which might be a tender spot within your own institution, yet its objective presentation avoided any possible offense. The editorial on King's vs. Wilkes was also timely, especially since Scranton will no longer provide the opposition for K,ing's "traditional rivalry" football game. I have seen and heard of the antics of both colleges over the "traditional" games and agree that unless a more mature attitude is displayed, King's and Wilkes are bett er without changing the status quo. The news articles were interest-ing even to me, a non-Wilkes student, so I am sure they were interesting to the members of your own student body. The letter to the editor provided an added feature which I enjoyed as much as your other feature articles. The "Ode on a Coffee Urn" was as good a take-off on Pope as I have read recently. S.ince our editorial positions run from February to February, I no longer get .the opportunity to read the Beacon each week. This is the first one I have read in several weeks and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good luck to you and your staff on your future issues and keep up the good work.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Student Activities Survey to Be Made by Evaluation Committee I Martha Menegus When time permits she enjoys reading, knitting, and an occasional set of tennis. "Marty", who lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Menegus of 143 Lakeview Avenue, Clifton, New Jersey, ,i s a 1957 graduate of the C1ifton High School where she was a member of the National Honor Society, sergeant of Majorettes, . secretary of the band, and a member of the mathematics club, and Girls' Athletic Association. Coming to Wilkes in the fall of 1957, "Marty" quickly became active in campus life and was the recipient of the Women of WHkes Award. This :is an award which goes to the freshman girl with the highest scholastic average for the year. She has held a leadership scholarship for her four years here at the college and has been a Dean's List student. She was recently named to Who's Who Among Students of American Colleges and Universities. A resident of McClintock Hall since her matriculation here at the college, she was this year elected dormitory president. Her present position as secretary to the senior class is a fitting climax for a girl who has served on her class executive council for the past three years, and as secretary for the Student Government during her sophomore and junior years. She has also served as a secretary and vice-president for the Theta Delta Rho sorority. In answer to what she thinks of Wilkes, "Marty" remarked that she found her courses very good and well-rounded, because they tended to give even the business students a good background in English and liberal arts. She expressed her appreciation for the influence and encouragement she has received from many of her instructors. The biggest thrill of her college life, she feels, was the fact that she was able to make .the Dean's List in her first semester here by knuckling down and applying herself. "Marty" expressed the fact that she had observed much growth and many changes for the better here at Wilkes in four years as a student. She hopes that dt will always stay relatively small so that it may retain its friendly atmosphere in which students can get more attention and become more (continued on page 4) �Wil.I{f.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 24, 1961 Colonel Netmen Strong; Anticipate Best Season, List Twelve Meets Rosen Gains Nalional Recognilion; Leads NCAA, NAIA al Foul Line Tornados Trounce Screwballs; Gulterduslers Slop Playboys The 1961 edition of ,t he Wilkes Away 3:00 18 Lycoming tennis team has begun its drills in 22 Dickinson Kirby Park with a promising turnHome 2-00 out of freshmen and other newHome 3:00 26 Su~que_hanna comers to bolster the returning Away 1:00 29 L~a1:on Val. lettermen.

The Screwballs were thus dumped into fifth place from their tied position for second with the Gutterdusters, who split with the Playboys to gain second place. In the Tornados' whitewashing of the Screwballs, Bob Hewitt and Jerry Chisari ck led the Tornado attack with near identical scores as they posted 200-490 and 169-488 respectively. Ed Clause was high man for the losing Screwballs with 190-458. In other competition the Boozers downed the Ebonites, 3-1, and the Alley Cats defeated the Pinbusters, \ 3-1.

Of course, all officers may apply for pilot and navigator training if they meet the eligibility requirements. There will always be a need for piloted aircraft. And it is foreseeable that in your working lifetime, there will be piloted spacecraft-piloted and navigated by Air Force officers. But right now, there is also a big future for college-trained Air Force officers on the ground. New and exciting technical jobs are opening up. Important administrative positions must be filled as World War II officers move into retirement. How can you-a college student-become an Air Force officer? First, there's Air Force ROTC. Then for college graduates, men and women in certain fields, there is Officer Training School. The graduate of its three-month course wins a commission as a sec• ond lieutenant. Other ways are the Navigator Train-· ing program, and the Air Force Academy. Some benefits that go with being an Air Force officer. Starting salary plus allowances compare with the average in equivalent civilian jobs. Then there's free medical and dental care, thirty-day vaca• tion, the chance to win graduate degrees at Air Force expense, and liberal retirement provisions. No, Air Force officers do not need wings to move up. There's plenty doing on the ground. Perhaps you could be one of these young executives in blue. Ask your local Air Force Recruiter. Or write, Officer Career Information, Dept.

Howie Williams bowled a big 199-569 for the Boozers and was assisted by Butch Kaplan with 190-521. Dave Sokira had a 190502 for the defeated Ebonites. In the Pinbusters' loss to the Alley Cats, Frank DiGennari rolled a 195 and 189 in the second and third games and finished with a 530 series as his team came from behind to down the Pinbusters. Emil P etrasek was high man for the losing team with a 199-535, the highest total of the night. Despite the fact that they split with the league-leading Playboys, the Gutterdusters gained the unique distinction of being the only team so far this season to win more than one point from the red-hot Playboys. The 'dusters won the final two games but could not overcome a 112 pin lead established by the Playboys in the first game. The high man for the Gutterdusters was Paul Bankovich with 191-478 while Joe Shemanski fired a 201531 for the Playboys. W L Pct.

After losing to Bloomsburg State College two weeks ago, the Colonel keglers came back strong last Sunday to defeat the Scranton Jewish Community Center Collegians at Jimmy's Lanes in Wilkes-Barre. In the Bloomsburg-Wilkes contest, the Teachers consistency overcame a fine 952 single game effort by the visitors. Bloomsburg's team total of 2599 was spearheaded by Russell's 205-559 and Criswell's 199-550. The other scores were Weber, 197-527; Gardner, 20,3-518; and Dantis, 162-445. Bloomsburg had ,t hree games over the 850 mark while Wilkes started very slowly, came roaring back, and then faded again. The middle game of 952 was the highest of the year for the Wilkes team as both leadoff man Joe Shemanski and anchorman Dave Sokira each topped the 200 mark. The Colonels' individual scores for the match were Watkins 182-512 • Pe,t rasek 180-509· Sh~manski '202504; Sokira, 2i6-475· and Chisarick, 167-486. ' Last Sunday the Colonels balanced their season's bowling record at the expense of Scranton's Jewish Community Center Collegiate team. Bill Watkins was the hero of the encounter as he put .together games of 235, 207, and 176 for an allseason record high of 617. Assisting Watkins' winning efforts was Dave Sokira with a 191538, Emil Petrasek with 205-508, Jerry Chisarick rolled a 171-454 and Joe Shemanski bowled a 145427. The Colonel pinmen again cracked the 900 mark, this time a 904 in the first game. Their 2544 three game effort proved to be too much for the hapless Scranton contingent. The Scranton squad had a great deal of trouble getting used to the alleys. Their last game, a respectable 880, was ,t he only game they managed to break 800. The visiting Collegians were led by Weinstein's 184-527 while Germaine rolled a 174-475, Fichter a 214-463, Reis bowled a 179-445, while Book came through with a 190-470. The Collegians have challenged the Colonels to a rematch, which will take place the Sunday after Easter in Scranton. Guard Leads Nation In Foul-Shooting With 91.3 Percentage Harvey Rosen Athletics at Wilkes got another pat on the back this week as Harvey Rosen was crowned King of the Foul Line. The scrappy sophomore guard gained national prominence as he was named leader in both the NCAA and NAIA ratings for his foul shooting percentage. Harvey made 105 free throws of 115 attempts to end the season with a remarkable 91.3 percentage from the foul line. This feat is further lustered by the news release of the National Basketball Association which named Bill Sharmen of the Boston Celtics as Ruler of the Free Throws with an 89.4 percentage. The best game the 6'1" guard registered from the foul line was in the season's finale against Rider when he dropped in twelve of 13 attempts to give the Colonels their necessary margin for victory. In 14 games Rosen had a spotless r~ord from the fo1;1l line and in eight contests he mISsed only one [ "charity thr?w·". , , 1'.'oul shootmg 1sn t Harvey s only claim to fame as he led the Colonel basketeers in scoring with a 17.9 point average.

ALONG THE BOOKSHELF Conlroversial Works Head Library's List of New Books by Gloria Zaludek Among the new books which the library has added to its collection of '·Reading and Enjoyment" is one which has produced cries of anguish and denial from many proponents of· our national ·system of values - 1'he Waste Makers by Vance Packard. ln this startling expose', the author shows how waste has become a virtue, and questions the morality . and economic validity of a system · that .practices "planned obsolescence" - artificially shortening the useful life of products. On the more practical aspect of money earning, the library offers a book entitled Hand Weaving for ' Pleasure and Profit by Harriette J. Brown. Written clearly and simply, this book introduces the reader to every operative aspect of twoharness-weaving, enabling an in. dustrious weaver to earn money and work his way through college! An undoubtedly controversial book concerned with one of the leading writers of our time, William l!'aulKner, is Quest for Failure by Walter J. Slatoff. The author contends that Faulkner is fascinated by a certain kind of relationship, one involving unresolved conflict and extreme tension. The deliberate ambiguity and irresolution in Faulkner's artistic intentions and t emperament engage him ,in a quixotic quest for failure. The Life of Hilaire Belloc, the sailor and the good companion, the violent individualist, the man who dared to prophesy the decline of all good things, the versatile genius (poet, satirist, historian) _ here is the authorized biography of Belloc by one who knew him, Robert Speaight. This is the story of a crook _ a characterless character which serves to put the reader on his guard against specious acquaintances. In Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour, R. S. Surtees, the author who fears no one and rolls no logs, leads a r eader into an atmosphere as brisk as one of his hunting mornings, sharp and raw. Sur,t ees' book is highly unflattering to everything in sight - faces, trees, greasy plough _ but it is indeed a thoroughly bracing experience to a reader who appreciates a masterpiece quite different from ordinary fare. 1 Large WC Delegation To Attend Annual Model -PERSONALS UN General Assembly April Showers Ball to Be held at American Legion :::Sprmg scenes will provide the bacKground for--the April Showers Bau on April 14.

In a move similar to that frequently seen at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the twelve Wilkes students who represented the views of the Union of South Africa at the Annual Model General Assembly, stormed out of the assembly hall when intolerable economic sanctions were placed against their adopted country, because of its apartheid policies. The Wilkes chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations was one of sixty-three groups representing colleges from all over the Northeastern part of the country. This year's assembly was held at the Hotel Commodore and the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 24, 25, and 26. The first meeting of the assembly took place at the United Nations headquarters itself and was climaxed by an address given.by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who is now serving as a delegate to the United Nations from the United States. The group was later broken into smaller committees which discussed various current problems concerning the United Nations. . . The Wilkes delegat.10n. was hea_ded by _Gary DeHope Jumor educat10n maJor. Other members who attended the MGA were: George Watson, Sally Zupka, Howard Hall, John Moore, ~onrad Wagner, R?bert Bond, Elame Adams, Josephine Chopya~, Jeanette Picko~owsk~, Gar~ Siegal, and Jerry ~hilanski. Advisors were. Dr.. Broms. Kaslas and Mr. Francis Pinkowski. . At the club's last meeting the effectiveness of the organization and delegation to the MGA was discussed. . Election of officers for the forthcoming year were held. LOST and FOUND NOTICE An irradescent raincoat was taken by mistake from the Bru·beck Concert Saturday night.

Elected president for the year 1961-62 was Gary DeHope; vicepresident, Jerry Shilanski, freshman, liberal arts major; treasurer, Gary Siegel, freshman, political science major; secretary, Elaine Adams, sophomore, psychology major. After being elected to the presidency, DeHope spoke to the group outlining tentative plans for club activity next year. H e called for closer cooperation between the campus group and the local American Association for the United Nations. He also expressed a desire to arrange for more speaking . engagements and other outside activities for the club. A committee was appointed to investigate ways of increasing the group's membership for next year.

"Brandenburg Gate", a zestful type of melody is an example of the skill Mr. Brubeck has to intertwine a classical Bach scale with progressive jazz chords.

After an intermission the group ran through an arrangement of the W. C. Handy masterpiece, "St. Louis Blues". A Desmond written piece "Take Five" highlighted the relatively brief second half of the concert as Morello remained alone on stage for almost fourteen minutes, his drums drawing loud audience reaction as he brilliantly changed beat and tone, time and time again. Throughout the program, Mr. Brubeck's graceful fingers discovered many chord combinations, Paul Desmond captured the audience with his improvisation, and the sidemen, Wright and Morello, provided constant beat patterns. The overall result was highly favorable.

Roaring Twenlies Theme Prevails Al Tonight's Jaycees Dance The Inter-Donnitory Council has "adopted" a child from Athens, Greece. Polyzoes or Zoes, as he is called for short, is a sturdy and active boy, who always gets the highest grades in every class he attends. This intelligent and diligent child is now the foremost pupil in the 5th grade of his Grammar School. His family's poverty has influenced this resourceful boy and made him more eager and impatient to make his way in life. His dream is to go through the University to become a scientist and more particularly to pursue a course in atomic studies. Dr. Farley has agreed to award a full-tuition scholarship including mom and board to Zoes when he reaches college age. His transportation costs will be paid by the IDC. Until he is ready to come to Wilkes, the IDC will support his secondary education in Greece with a yearly contribution which totals $150. This most promsiing boy looks smart in his picture, wearing a sweater, knitted by his mother, and khaki shorts, which he wears in the winter. He did not keep his coat on, through a certain innate sense of dignity, for it is very much the worse for wear. Zoes is very badly in need of proper clothing . Because of his great need for clothing the IDC is holding a drive to begin today. Contributions of new or unused cotton or woolen garments, wool yarn, cotton or woolen dry goods, school supplies, Polyzoes O. Marrommatis and inexpensive toys will be grate- - - - - - - - -- - - ----ofully appreciated. The IDC will have a box inside the main entrance of the cafeteria for deposit of these contributions. Your cooperation is requested in this drive which will last for two weeks.

The motor route which the students will follow consists of approximately 450 miles. The grour, will pass through the Civil War country. The guests will stay in the dormitories of Hampton. The program usually involves a special dance on Friday evening, attendance at Saturday morning classes, and a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning, the exchange students will attend the chapel program. The AU-Negro chorus of Hampton Institute will perform. It is one of the best choral groups in the nation. Many of the buildings on the campus of Hampton have been financed from the proceeds of the concert tours of the chorus. The exchange students include Mike Armstrong, Cynthia Hagley, Ted Toluba,, Peter Greenberg, Ed Reese, Bob Amey, Nancy Tinklepaugh, Claire Handler, Nancy Palaz.z ola, Andrea Crease, and Myrna Fischman. The group will be chaperoned by Mr. George Elliot and Miss Mildred Gittins. by .Gloria Zaludek Theta Delta Rho Plans Tea in Honor of Incoming Frosh Class At last Monday's Student Government meeting, a discussion on the purpose and success of Friday evening college dances was entertained. It was pointed out that these affairs have degenerated from what they were originally intended to be - social functions. They have instead, it was noted, become very casual gatherings of both college age and high school age persons. Following this discussion which is to be continued after further investigation, a resolution was passed concerning this situation. (The text of this resolution can be found in the editorial of this issue.) The treasurer reported existing surpluses in both the Student Government account and the Extracurricular Activities account. Special committee reports included those from the Constitution Committee, the Student Organization Evaluation Committee, the Student Handbook Committee, the Student Government Dinner Committee, and the Elections Committee. Ted Begun of the Constitution Committee reported that the Constitution of the Class of 1964 was accepted as corrected, and that there were no other documents pending before his committee at present. Mike Bianco of the Student Evaluation Committee reported that he had a good turnout of volunteers for service on this committee from the student body. At -p resent this group is in the process of compiling and analyzing the data which they have obtained from two of their own to facilitate a more detailed, up-to-date evaluation of campus organizations and student leaders. Fred Smithson of the Student Handbook Committee reported that production of next year's handbook is going along as scheduled. He expects to have it at the printer's before the close of the semester. Lorraine Rome reported on plans for the annual Student Government Dinner. At this session it was decided that a buffet style dinner will be held at the Carousel Motel on May 8th at 6 :30 p.m. The cost is $2.00 per person. Each Student Government member will be allowed to invite a guest. Selected members of the administration are to be invited. Bill Raub of the Elections Committee reported that all arrangements for the holding and tabulating of class elections had been completed. He also proposed the suggestion for having regulation voting machines on campus for the facilitation of the all-college voting procedure and final tabulation.

Among the most noted. is that of decreasing attendance over a eriod of years at the weekly dances in the gymnasium. This has presented a challenge to the organizations holding these dances. ::,ome have worKed with unusual themes, a popular musical group, and other drawing cards. For the most part, this type of ana1r is rmher successiul in attracting our college students. On the other hand., organizations have turned to musical and aavenising gimmicks to ctraw in high school students. We can not comp1eLely 0bJect to having tne local students on our campus for these social events. It gives them the opportunity to see one tacet 01 college lite which tney may participate in one day. however, we can not allow some of these students to attend. our dances if they come with the attitude of getting away wim conauct that would not be accepted at their own schools. !-"or example, the chaperones at a recent Friday night dance, and some 01 our smdems, were forced to ask several people to leave becouse of their unbecoming conduct. They were met wim a very belligerent attimde and subjected to needless humilimion. lncidems ot this nature are not about to improve the chances 01 obmining chaperones for these dances. ~mdent C..-overnment members, discussing the situation at this week's meeting, moved that: "The Student Government go on record as encouraging all organizations to use utmost discretion in holding social evems, and conduct these events on a mature level with the foremost purpose being to provide a social outlet for Wilkes students and their guests in accord with standards of Wilkes men and women, and that sport jackets be recommended for dances," W nether or not this recommendation will prevent any future disturbances depends on the "discretion" of the group sponsoring a sports dance. The last part of this motion is meant to discourage sloppy apparel on the part of students because people are prone to have more mature behavior when dressed properly. It was not the opinion of the body to prevent organizations from having special themes which encourage various costumes. It is our opinion that this motion should serve as a springboard for further consideration and re-evaluation of Student Government policies on the social calendar, with particular emphasis on the weekly dances. STUDENT SKETCH Letters to the Editor · · • Senior 0 De-:e ~~i: :embers of the Wilkes College Collegiate Council for the United Nations wish to report to all those concerned that the recently attended Model Gen eral Assembly, held in New York on March 24, 25, and 26 was a successful endeavor and very beneficial to our organization. We also wish to thank the administration and all those who made it possible for our group to attend this assembly. Their aid was greatly appreciated. Our deepest gratitude goes to Dr. Bronis Kaslas and Mr. Francis Pinkowski, our advisors, who guided and counseled us, unselfishly giving of themselves so that we might benefit from the experience of such a meeting. Respectfully, Wilkes College Collegiate Council for the United Nations · Editor, the Beacon Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to express publicly my thanks to those people who helped make the Dave Brubeck concert the success that it was. The heads of the various committees: Mark Levy, Ronald Sebolka, -Conrad Wagner, Owen Frances, and Ted Begun devoted themselves to this project. To me, they were all . a chairman could wish or hope for: de_d icated, unselfish, original, and helpful. I would like to thank Mr. Clewell from PRO and Mr. Carter from the gymnasium for their help. To Barry Gin tel and Warren Hartman, I am very grateful. I woµld like to thank the students of Wilkes for their cooperation and our fine newspaper, the Beacon, for the coverage the concert received. A glance at the college calendar reminds us that there are Brent O'Connell Chairman only four weeks of classes remaining in this semester. It marks Students Asked To Participate a time when all of us are kept busy preparing for tests and the grand climax of the school year, final examinations. More than this, however, these last four weeks are also a busy time on the college activities calendar. The seniors and terminal students are hurriedly preparing for graduation, the Student Government Cinderella Ball is slated for the night of May 12, many campus organizations are planning banquets and final get-togethers, and numerous baseball games and other activities adorn the schedule for the latter part of the spring semester. Three of the four classes here at the college met yesterday for the primary purpose of nominating officers for the coming school term. On Tuesday, the classes will meet again to enable the nominees to acquaint their classmates with the qualifications which they possess for the offices to which they are aspiring. Despite the heavy burden placed upon students by scholastic and extracurricular activities at this time of the year, it is the duty of each member of the student body to be present at his respective class meeting on Tuesday and to make an intelligent decision regarding his selection of class officers for the coming year. It is also essential to the welfare of the student body that representatives be selected who are intelligent, reliable, and capable to serve on Student Government. Careful consideration should be given to the selection of officers and only after this is done should the student feel that he has fulfilled his obligation to his fellow students and to the college. Election day is Friday, April 28. It is indeed a busy time, but it is also a time when it becomes more important than ever that we do not neglect our responsibilities.

Dear Mr. Editor: It goes without saying that Wilkes profited enormously when Stark Hall _opened for classes in September, 1957. It offers to students in biology, chemistry and physics modern and well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. The conveniences both lecture halls offer need not be mentioned, since they are so obvious to all. Wilkes is honored to have a man like Admiral · -Stark on its Board of Directors, arid to be sure, his efforts made our science building possible. Out of gratitude to him, for his many services, his portrait is placed in this building for all to see. Some jackass, who most obviously is maladjusted and in need of help, drew a mustache · under the nose of the Admiral causing this once beautiful and expensive portrait to become marred. I hope the person or persons responsible for this act feel some remorse I do, and I am sure that I am not alone in this r espect . Yours truly, H erbert M. Kline (Continued from last week) Agra, like any of the former Moghul cities, has a huge walled~in fort, with marble palaces, gorgeous halls, mosques, gardens-, government buildings, usually erected near a river. Many of these Moghul forts were abandoned because the river changes its course - as the capricious Indian waters are in the habit of doing - or the water supply died out. Built on a little slope, all in red sandstone with marble dressing and intricate carving over doors and windows, every fort is a tourist attraction. We have seen a great number of them never stopping to marvel at the colorful past, even more amazing by contrast with the bleakness of today. Otherwise the city of Agra is no different than any other city in India. But Agra has the Taj Mahal. Standing in the middle of wellgroomed gardens, the Taj Mahal is a wonderous marble mausoleum erected in the 17th century by Coed to Continue Study In Biology Research Field by Jerry Shilanski The science department here at the college may not have a zoological park, but tucked away in a little comer of Stark Hall are twelve of the best fed and cared for rabbits that ever went to college. And who do they have to thank for their tender treatment? Non other than a senior coed by the name of Arlene Gallia, a biology major who has emphatically stated that she loves every bit of bunny in the building. However, she is a true scientist in every sense and has resigned herself to the fact that her charges have but one fate. Arlene's rabbits are destined to cooperate with Dr. Sheldon Cohen, associate professor of biology and a local allergy specialist on research in the field of immunology. Dr. Cohen is conducting research here at the college on grants from the national government and the Heart Fund. Arlene has been one of his student research assistants since last May. In talking with this rabbit-raising coed, this reporter sensed a great admiration for Dr. Cohen and his work, which has evidently influenced her decision to continue working in the research field after graduation. In this interview Arlene explained that at one time she considered the art field but was quickly converted to her real love, biology, after seeing the facilities of the newly-completed science building. She implied that at first she was not too keen on the idea of coming to Wilkes, but now her attitude has completely changed. She emphasized this by remarking, "I Arlene Gallia - - - - - - - - - - - - -- -,)'· am in love with Wilkes and feel that I wouldn't be satisfied at any Shah Jahan to his favorite wife other college.

Finnegan Award. The award was given to Bianco by Governor David Lawrence at a ceremony held in the State Capitol at Harrisburg. As holder of the award Bianco has the opportunity to work in a government office for the summer. He has received offers from both the governor's office and the Secretary of Labor and Industry but is, as of now, undecided as to his choice. Nearly one hundred students from colleges all over the state competed for the award, which is given annually by the James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation. This foundation was established in 1958 for two purposes: to honor the name of James A. Finnegan who at the time of his death in 1958 was one of the outstanding political leaders in the state, and to encourage young men and women of college age to follow careers in government and politics. There are a number of criteria used for picking the recipient of the award: scholarship, extracurricular activities, recommendations from faculty and college officials, and an essay regarding some aspect of the political life of James A. Finneg an. The award consists of a six weeks paid internship in some governmental or political office with a weekly stipend of $100 Michael Bianco a week. Wilkes students who are inter- 6----- - -- - - - - - - - - - ested in careers in g overnment or politics are urged to enter next year's competition. Peace Corps Sends Forms for Application . · By Interested Students The Beacon has received Peace Corps volunteer questionnaires .. Peace Corps headquarters has mailed samples of the questionnaires to presidents of 2,000 col. leegs and universities for campus distribution. Those who have written either to the Peace Corps office in Washington or to the President will automatically receive questionnaires directly in the near future. These questionnaires are also available at local Post Offices and will be distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture Directors of State Agricultural Extension Services for relay to their county agents. The questionnaire is four pages long and consists of 28 questions. It also asks prospective volunteers for a list of references. An instruction sheet is also attached. Areas covered by the questionnaire include: Education, job experience, proficiency in languages, technical skills, availability for Peace Corps service, special foreign area knowledge, health, military service, avocations, hobbies and athletic participation, organizational activity and leadership, and geographical preference for assignment. Charles Johns Accepted As Delegate to Summer Convention in Europe Convinced that he had no chance of being accepted, Charles Johns almost missed a six-week vacation in Europe next summer because he couldn't make up his mind to send in his application. A sophomore majoring in music education, Johns finally mailed his application late. Result? The application was approved and Johns will attend this summer's convention of the Methodist World Council in Oslo, Norway, as pne of two delegates from this area. Johns was graduated from Pittston High School in 1959 where he was active in the music organizations and the Oratorio Society and vice-president of the senior class. He has shown himself a leader both on campus and off participating in the band, the wind ensemble, the Chamber Music Group, and Oriental Theme Set For Tomorrow's Dance At Weckesser Hall by Cynthia Hagley A movement in space will occur tomorrow night at precisely 9 p.m. in W eckesser Hall. This is the hour when the men of Butler and the women of W eckesser will transport a little section of Wilkes to that faraway port of Shanghai. The social rooms of the coeds' dormitory will become a "Shanghai Shac-k " with bamboo slats, fish nets, and assorted Shanghai characteristics. Those in attendance may dress casually. Any type of sailor's apparel, and other appropriate costumes are suggested. The hosts and hostesses will serve mixed fruit drinks from a bar to further add to the oriental atmosphere. All this for a paltry 49 cents (they know that sailors are poor). Music for the evening will be rendered by Tom Kanos and his quartet, a group of our own campus students. Butler and W eckesser h a v e planned in great detail to make this a different and casual evening so, if you are looking for any outof-the-way place with an out-ofthis-world atmosphere to take you away from it all, bring your friends and swing. Pre-Law Tests Changed Administrators Attend To Include History And Writing Knowledge Philadelphia Area Princeton, N.J., April 14 - In Alumni Meeting the future, prospective law stuby Sam Book Gordon Roberts, Livingston Clewell, and Miss Mildred Gittins recently attended a meeting of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Wilkes College Alumni Association. The purpose of their visit was twofold. First, Mr. Clewell briefly spoke to the group concerning general activities and proposed future plans. Then, Mr. Roberts discussed the 1961 Appeal Campaign. The group was told that the 196-1 Appeal Campaign will begin on May 1 and that the goal is $160,000. The meeting was held in the Sylvania Hotel in Philadelphia.

Outfl.elder's Blast Sa1·1s . .eld Fen · ce Over Centerfl • At Kingston Stad1um Bob Ontko, s 1 u g gin g center fielder - third baseman on the baseball nine, is this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week". Ontko was cited for his consistent hitting and run-producing bat in the Colonels' MAC contest against Ursinus. The speedy flychaser registered two hits in three trips to the plate and knocked in the Colonels' lone two runs with these timely hits. Figures being what they are, Ontko averaged a run produced every time he got a hit. The hustling senior started the Colonel scoring in the first when he sent a sharp single into left field to score Matt Himlin, last week's recipient of the Athlete award, from third base. This score ;ave the Wilkesmen a temporary ead. In t~e sixth inning O~tko brou~ht the chilled fans to their feet with a mighty b_last over the cen!er field fence. This tremendous drive carried over the 390 foot sign and landed in a Pierce Street market. A Kingston groundkeeper stated after the game that it was one of the longest home runs he has seen at the Kingston High field and had every indication that it would have been a round-trip blow in most major league parks. Ontko's performance in · the Ursinus game wa~ not : all offensive as his ball-hawking tactics robbed at least three Bears pf hits !).nd his shot-gun arm kept the Ursinus base-runners from attempting to take that extra base. Last season the sturdy performer was chosen to be the recipient of the "Outstanding Baseball Player" Award by his teammates. He led the Blue and Gold batsmen in circuit blows and triples and ranked behind Walt Folek in batting percentage. At the annual athletes' banquet held late last month, Marv Antinnes became the first athle1e at Wilkes to win the coveted "Athlete of the Year" award for two consecutive years. In addition to achieving this distinction, Antinnes also duplicated his accomplishment of last year by copping the most valuable player tropnies in football and wrestling, the Gallagher Memorial Award for football and a specia! athletic "honor roll"' award for superior and record-breaking performance in intercollegiate wrestling.

Artcarved® ·o I A MO N O A N O W E OOI N G RI N G S The diamond game isn't Bob's only athletic endeavor. The amiable athlete held down the goalie post for Coach Jim Ferris' soccer forces last fall and was selected to a position on the Middle Atlantic Conference's Second All-Star team. The Elizabethtown soccermen, small college national champions, called Bob the best goalie they faced in regular season competition. This is the "Slugger's" fourth year of varsity baseball competition and was also familiar to college basketball as he wore the Colonel uniform on the hardwoods for two seasons. He is currently student teaching at Coughlin High School and will graduate this June with a B.S. degree in Secondary Education with a major in history. While in high school the Colonel co-captain led the Kingston baseball and basketball squads to league titles. He was chosen honorable mention all-Valley for his endeavors in both sports as a Huskie. The story of this week's "Athlete" seems to circle around his honor-laden athletic endeavors and ; his to~ scholastic grades. Bob is an active member of the Lettermen's Club and Education Club. I This next week will see Coach Arthur Hoover's tennis team try to brea:k into the win column after having been defeated twice. Tomorrow they host Dickinson at 2 p.m. and on Wednesday Suesque- · hanna University will come into town for a match scheduled for 3 p.m. Thus far freshman Gary Einhorn has turned out to be the backbone of the team. In Tuesday's 7 ½ to 2½ loss to Lycoming at Williamsport, he was the only netman to turn in a win. In the squad's losing 7-2 match against Scranton on Saturday, he again was the only one to notch a win. Dept. SP-11 216 E. 45th St., New York 17, N. Y.

The only split of the night came between the first place Playboys and the fourth spot Screwballs. Top spot in the league's high series for the year changed hands as Jerry Chisarick rolled a 609 to dethrone Jerry Zeller, who had previously held the post with a 60·3. These are the only two 600 series in this year's action. Playboys 2, Screwballs 2 The absence of Bill Watkins from the Playboys' lineup was felt as the team lost the first two games but narrowly squeezed by in the third to make an even split. Joe Shemanski led the Playboys with 184-523. Barry Shevchuk's 168-484 helped carry the Screwballs to two wins. Tornados 4, Gutterdusters 0 The Tornados' sweep of four games carried the team from sixth into sole possession of third place. The win was a team effort as all five rolled consistent games several pins over their averages. Chisa- rick had games of 197, 210, and 202 to hit .his league high series. of 609. Paul £ankovich led the Gutterdusters with 504, with close support from Dave Guss with 492. Alley Cats 4, Ebonites 0 The Alley Cats got off to a fast start behind Jerry Zeller's 222 first game and were never threatened as they collected four from the cellar - dwelling Ebonites. This match just barely missed being placed on the books as only three men from each squad showed up for the evening's competition. Roger Rymer was top man for the Ebonites with 170-460. Boozers 4, Pinbusters 0 Howie Williams of the Boozers kept up his torrid bid for top average honors with a big 213-578. Regina Ritzie, the league's top woman bowler, chipped in with 180458. Emil Petrasek, in New York for the All College Tournament, was missed as the high score for his Pinbusters was registered by John Turner at 163-436.
