It might be titled "How To Be A College Student" and was taught hy over 1200 students and faculty and administration members of Hampton. They showed our students what it was like to live on a campus that is almost 100 years old and has as much · · · ·t now as 1t · d"d p1oneermg spm 1 th e d ay it was opened . The congeniality with which the students and • their two chaperones were received made everyone feel very much at home. Normal campus activities didn't alter or change because of the presence of other students. On the contrary, since the Hampton campus is rarely without guests, the administration follows the policy of allowing the exchange students to be caught up into the normal stream. of activity.

On Tuesday afternoon the duffers will entertain their counterparts from Mansfield State College at the Fox Hill Country Club in West Pittston. Tee time for this match is also 2 p.m. The golf team, under the watchful eyes of coach Welton Farrar, has emerged this spring as the only spring sport with a winning record thus far. They boast vietories over both Lycoming and Moravian and have been defeated by East Stroudsburg State College. i The opening match, against Stroudsburg, was played in a continual drizzle at Glen Brook CC and saw the squad come out on th~ short end of a 12½ to 5½ score.

The fire-balling righthander hurled a three-hitter to give th e Colonel diamo ndmen th eir first victory of the year as they upset Upsala College, l-O. The lanky pitcher kept th e Vikings off balance with his array of curves and sliders and utilized a blaz,ing faS t ball to set th ree batters down via the strikeout route. Upsala, usually a ha rd -hitting squad, couldn't solve his delivery a nd mustered only three hits, all singles, from Bob th roughout th e game. Fleming loomed as the ace of Coach Dydo's pitching staff at the season's start but was faced with a big "if". During basketball practice early in October, Bob injured his left ankle a nd was forced to th e sidelines. As he hobbled around on crutches the hopes of his pitching for the Blue and Gold this spring grew dim. Soon after having the cast removed from his ankle he started exercising his leg under the watchful eye of Bruce Belding. After weeks of exercises and rubdowns, the ankle grew strong enough to be given the big test. With fingers crossed, he played in the last two intramural basketball contests for Butler Hall and the ankle held up. Bob learned his baseball as a Little Leaguer in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania and moved up through the baseball ranks through Teener, American Legion, and high school ball. While in Hopewell High School Bob twirled a no-hit ball game against Columbia Junction High School for the biggest sporting thrill of his young career. He was also active on the hardwoods and was chosen to the WPIAL Sectional All-Star team during his senior year. The moundsman attended Valley Forge Junior College for two seasons and once again was the leading figure in baseball and basketball. He captained last year's Cadet diamond squad while hurling them to six wins. One of his outstanding performances was a neat twohitter he tossed in shutting out the Blue Knights of Wyoming Seminary. Basketball was also one of his top endeavors and Bob captained the Cadet hoopsters and led the scorers with a 17 point average. This year Bob transferred to Wilkes and is seeking a B.S. in Business Education and is a resident of Butler Hall. Their first win came at the expense of Moravian College at Bethlehem, 13½ to 4½. The squad picked up its second win of the season on Tuesday by downing the Warriors of Lycoming College at Irem Temple CC in Dallas, 17-1.

The diamondmen then return home on Tuesday for a game with the Royals of the University of Scranton scheduled for 3:30 p.m. On 'lhursday the squad is away at Bast Stroudsburg State College for a game at three o'clock. Wednesday saw the team lose to Susquehanna, 5-3, for its fourth loss of the season against just a single win. The game had breezed along as a pitchmg duel for tive innings betore Susquehanna drew first blood in the top of the sixth. Green and Butler singled back to back to put runners at tirst and third and then Blevit laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Green. The Colonels came back strong in their half of the inning when Bob Ontko was hit by Williams' pitch, went to third on Paul Aquilmo's single to left and then scored as he and Aquilino pulled a douole steal. Aquilino scored after being sent to third on an infield out and then going home on a wild ptich. The Crusaders regained the lead by putting across two runs in the top of the seventh on two walks, an error and an intield single. They added a single run in the eighth on pitcher Williams' double to center tield, and then picked up their nnal run in the ninth on four bases on balls. A Colonel rally in the bottom of the ninth was nipped in the bud by Williams' control. Sam Cooper, pinch-hitting for rightfielder DeGuisto, sent a sharp single to deep short, went to second on Hengst's bad throw to first. Kruczek then replaced Cooper at second when Cooper limped in with a thigh injury. Nick Alesandro bounced a shot to Blevit at third who bobbled the ball, allowing Kruczek to score. Williams .then got Yankosky, pinch-hitting for relief pitcher Schwefel, on strikes, and made Walt Folek pop up to end the threat and give the Crusaders the win. The Crusaders managed to collect four hits off righthander Bob Fleming but made use of ten bases on balls. Both pitchers had been breezing along for the first five innings with Fleming holding the Crusaders hitless and allowing only three men to reach base. Errors and walks cost the Colonels the game. The team staged a surprise in East Orange, New Jersey Saturday afternoon by upsetting the host Upsala College nine, 1-0, behind the three-hit shutout pitching of Bob Fleming. The Colonels, winning their first game of the year, scored in the tirst inning and played fine defensive ball the rest of the way in downing a team which earlier in the week had beaten tough Hofstra College. The game's lone tally came in the first inning on a single and a pair of errors. Matt Himlin led off for the Colonels and got on via an error. He went to third on Walt Folek's single and then scored on another error on Bob Ontko's grounder. Folek had been erased when he tried to stretch his single into a double. After such a loud start, the remainder of the game proved to be somewhat disappointing as the two pitchers engaged in a duel. Fleming struck out three and walked five but had fine defensive work behind him. His mates backed him up with five hits, all singles, as the game failed to produce a single extra base hit. One of the outstanding defensive plays of the afternoon was Paul Aquilino's unassisted double play. �Eboniles Shul Dul Playboys; ~ Screwballs Down Pinbuslers, 4-0 -: League Leaders Downed First Time -This Half; Screwballs in Third The only change brought about in the league- standings as a result of Sunday's bowling competition was the Tornados and Screwballs trading positions; the Screwballs blanked the pinbusters, 4-0, while the Tornados defeated the Alley Cats, 3-1.

Last Tuesday's student government election saw close contests for all but one of the available offices; Jim Walters, incwnbent student government treasurer and a three-year representative of the class of 1963, ran unopposed for the office of treasurer. In contests for the other offices, however, it was a different story. Active and able leaders were almost evenly matched in every contest. Carol Thomas, a representative of the class of 1963 and an elementary education major, defeated Ted Begun, a two-year representative of the class of 1963, for the office of secretary. Mike Bianco, a senior majoring in political science, successfully opposed Rick Re~,s. and was elected to the office of vicepresident for the 1961-1962 year. The biggest clash of the election. however, was the tussle for the presidency. Here Al Kishel a one-time president and twice-elected representative of his class (1962) defeated Mike Bianco.

SANE ELECTION The Wilkes College Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy will meet Tuesday, May 9, at noon in Stark 309. Nominations and Elections of officers will be held. BIOLOGY CLUB ELECTION Biology Club elections will be held on Monday, May 8, from 8:00 a.m. to 4 :00 p.m. in room 300 of Stark Hall. The votes of newly elected representatives to the Student Government helped to make the outcome of the election unpredictable. The following new members voted for the first time in Student Government sessions: Bonnie Jenkins and Mark Levy, class of 1963; Richard Burns and Ed Rogalski, class of 1964. Climaxing the elections, Mr. Alfonso Zawadski, Assistant Registrar,_ discussed the presentation of the controversial film, "Operation Abolition". This film, secured for last night's 7 p.m. Stark Hall showing by the Student Government in cooperation with the administration, frankly portrays the actions of a 11 e g e d Communist-inspired rioters at San Francisco sessions of the House Un-American Activities Committee last year. Local showings of this film have elicited calls from area clergymen for objective interpretations of the more controversial scenes by a qualified and detached person familiar with the background of the riots. As the final order of business. it was announced that the final student government meeting will be held at the Carousel Motel. Lorraine Rome, chairman of the May 8, buffet ·dinner-business meeting submitted final plans for the affair. The dinner meeting will cost each member and guest two dollars; the final meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Roberts, Van Fossen, Chamberlain, Davis Gain Jaycee Awards by Lynne Dente Four members of the college division of the Junior Chamber of Commerce were recent recipients of awards for outstanding service during the year. The awards were presented to Gilbert Davis, Clyde Roberts, Robert Chamberlain, and William Van Fossen. Davis, a senior majoring in secondary education, received the award as "Outstanding Rotating Chairman." He received the award on the basis . of his thorough control over meetings, amiability between himself and members, and because, in the opinion of the judges, he possesses and exhibits a workable knowledge of parliamentary procedure. �2 Friday, May 5, 1961 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITO~ STUDENT SKETCH Another 'First' for Wilkes Letters to the Editor ...

Busy Senior Favors Teaching; Class President for Three Years by Jerry Shilanski It wil ltake more than eight weeks of student teaching to change Gilbert Davis' mind about teaching or discourage him from continuing in the education field. Summing up his recent teaching experience at ·Meyers High School, Gil remarked that "each day was a new experience; I got along great with my students and I really enjoyed the work. One could probably write a book about the incident~ that occur during these eight weeks. l really feel that they will be of tremendous value to me when I enter the teaching profession this fall." In talking with this gregarious senior secondary education major, it is quite evident that he thoroughly enjoys being with and working with people. In view of this it is not surprising that he is so enthusiastic about his field. Nor is it surprising that his classmates have elected him president of their class for three consecutive years. Gil's p 1 ea sing personality is echoed by the fact that he was one of the students chosen for this tion. year's Who's Who In American If our fear of fear leads us to Colleges and Universities.

The Bisons, led by co-captain Bob OF THE WEEK Freshman Gary Einhorn Turns in Impressive Court Victories The week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" award goes to Gary Einhorn, who thus far this season has turned out to be the tennis team's secret weapon. Gary boasts the best singles record on the squad, having been defeated only once, at Susquehanna. His overall record of four wins and one loss has been amassed at the expense of Rider, Lycoming, Lebanon Valley, and Dickinson opponents. The "sleeper" of the team at the outset of the season, he promptly turned in the only victory in the match against Rider and thereby announced that he'd be an opponent Gary Einhorn not to be reckoned with easily for - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - v t h e remainder of the season.

Etzweiler and Curt Mull, shot well on the last nine holes to edge Lehigh and the University of Delaware for the title. At the mid-way point of the tourney the Bisons trailed Franklin and Marshall by a single stroke but the F & M golfers faltered on the wet, rainy afternoon round to fall out of contention. lV1ichael Turbill of the University of Delaware won the Ron Stuart Memorial Trophy for having the 36-hole low score of 152 with rounds of 77 and 75. Turbill putted well on the afternoon round and in spite of a steady drizzle shot 75, just three over par. Bob Goodman of Albright matched Turbill's performance but had a double bogey on the 16th hole in the mornmg round to end the day with 154. Mike Reynolds of F & M faltered in the afternoon and after leading the golrers at the 18-hole mark ended the day with 155 at third place.

Thanks, too, go to Don Hancock, this ye~:xr·s sports editor, who, in addition to his usually competent sports writing, preserved many exciting sports thrills for Beacon readers with some good camera shots. To Mr. Francis Salley, Beacon advisor, we wish to express our gratefulness for his guidance and gentle admonitions which were sometimes needed but aiways appreciated as a demonstration of his sincere interest in the Beacon. Much of the credit for our ability to be able to inform the student body of new developments concerning the college goes tci Mr. Livingston Clewell, director of PRO. Although he was subjected to the rigors of his first year on the job, Mr. Clewell often went out of his way to help the Beacon - our dee.pest thanks, "Pop". The paper would never be a reality, in spite of our efforts, were it not for the cooperation and extra courtesies shown to us by our printer - the Schmidts. Po.p, Leo, and Ed.die, more than once, went out of their way so that we could get the latest news into the Beacon - which often times isn't possible with a Tuesday deadline. Schmidt's Printery - our "unofficial" school of journalism - has been a second home to us, and we are deeply indebted to the Schmidts. To the students who were, for the most part, cooperative to the professors and instructors, and to the administration in Chase Hall, we wish to express our thanks for the contributions and helpful hints which have made this year's Beacon successful. In closing l find it necessary to substitute the singular subject for the journalistic plural to express my deepest appreciation to_my parents who have persevered through an eventful - if not predictable - college year. Their influence, praise, and admonishments will forever be a part of my memory.

Dear Cynthia: India is a holy land. She is lacking in many things, but holiness sh e has in abundance. Several million holy men roam the country roads on a perpetual pilgrimage from one holy spot to another, from one holy city to another. Varanasi (Benares) is the holiest of the many holy cities of India. Benares has to be seen from the boat on the river, because there the most interesting and unique Hindu religious and social activities take place. A long stretch of the banks of the Ganges is lined up with the staircases (ghats), above which tower temples, shrines, mansions of former wealthy maharajahs, and houses of the devout Br~hmins.

Others are modern, erected recently liy the Buddhists from all over the world, including the ubiquitous Tibetan refugees. ·A few pilgrims are here, and the place has the air of lonely dignity like a deserted palace of a once great aristocrat. Calcutta, the city of six million people, is only 250 years young, built by the British as their seat of administration. In contrast to Benares, the city of sanctity and death, Cal-cutta presents the picture of a bustling, industrial city of factories, banks, and business establishments; like any other international port she is full of life and pregnant with a thousand vices. Calcutta is the home of the greatest Bengali poet, Rabindra Nath Tagore, and the latest Hindu religious reformer, Ramakrishna, the repository of Ghandi's ashes, and the place of the famous temple of the bloody and cruel goddess, Kali. Calcutta is the seat of one of the largest universities in the world. The city's lung is the large park called Maidan, stretching for miles in the middle of the new business section. The grass is cut low every day; this done by cows and goats, which our guide called "our lawnmowers". It is very romantic to ride in the pre-monsoon March nights to a dinner party in an open bicyclerickshaw dressed in the lightest cotton dress and open sandals with- James Neddoff Voices Praise For His College Experiences by Jerry Shilanski "Tremendous!" . . . he said, and with that one word James Neddoff summed up his feelings about Wilkes. "Why?" ... he was asked and without hesitation the senior education major spouted a list as long as this column. "It's the little things that make this college superior. Each student is a personality, not just a number; he has a faculty advisor and he is able to talk directly to his instructors. The required liberal arts courses are great because they give the student a broad education in all fields that he just couldn't get in a specialized school." "You 'brush elbows' with many people who have varying interests and you are liable to get their points of view," he went on. "The education is here for those who want it. I've never been sorry I came to Wilkes. I constantly brag about the college to everyone I meet and I try 1:o influence as many high school students as I can to come to Wilkes."

A tropic isle theme prevailed at this the final formal dance of the school year. In the center of the gymnasium floor. was ll volcano of brown and green foil. Lighted angel hair provided a smoke effect for the inferno. The backdrop depicted a southern Pacific scene with palm trees, moonlight, and the like. The ceiling of the gym was decorated with green and white paper to achieve a cob-web effect. The bleachers were folded and covered with colored foil on which were suspended leis and other appropriate articles of decor. To complete the theme, the tables were bedecked with half coconut shells and candles. Herbie Green and his orchestra provided music for the ball which was well-attended. Outstanding Students Reco.gnized by Wayne Thomas Students who have excelled during their time at the college in academic achievement or extracurricular activities were granted recognition at the annual awards assembly held yesterday in the gymnasium. Mr. Francis J. Salley, faculty advisor to the Beacon presented three awards to the graduating members of the staff. Joseph Olexy, Jr. received the award as graduating editor-in-chief of the · publication, Joseph Chisarick was awarded a pin as graduating business manager, and Sandra Biber received an award in commemoration of her two years of service on the Beacon staff; Later when we drove together to the old city and approached the temples, he refused to leave the taxi shaking his head in disguest. Beggars closed in on the taxi much to the embarrassment of our guide, clad in immaculately clean white dhoti.

We passed several carloads of luscious fruits and vegetables, which were being taken to be thrown into the Ganga Ma (Mother Ganges) as sacrifice, followed hy a multitude of worshippers with hungry looks. Our Fijian Hindu just became desperate. I was happy to witness his reaction for I realized that things need not be as they are, and that at some future time, most Indians will feel the same way that he does. Bhubaneswar is the new and modern capital of the state of Orissa on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is pleasant to see all the up-to-date buildings for colleges, laboratories, administrative offices, and state guest houses. The people are smaller in build and darker; their dress is dictated by the climate; men wear only lungi ( skirt to their knees or longer), and women only a sari-like piece of cloth without any undergarment. Brahmins, the once proud caste of of priests, serve as guides around temples, and are not ashamed to say that they are hungry. Their caste statute prohibits them menial work, and the pilgrims, poor themselves, cannot support so many priests, holy men and monks. Bhubaneswar has · fifteen hundred temples profusely and artistically decorated and many experts consider them the finest examples of pure Hindu art. A lonely giant on the sand dunes in the nearby Konarak, the "Black Pagoda", is both beautiful and frightening. But by this time, I have seen so many temples that my senses are numb. Instead of describing them, I will conclude with an account of our four-mile walk to and from a Christian village near Dacca in East Bengal. we marched on a narrow path amongst rice and jute fields, flanked by young pineapple bushes and sugar cane, but not one single tree to grant us shade. We crossed water-hyacinth infested waters over a shaky bamboo bridge, and passed along thatched-roof huts. It was high noon, the sun white ablaze, and the air was hot and humid (the newspapers reported the temperature 100 degrees and humidity 94 per cent). Natives walked under black umbrellas. We found this village clean and prosperous. who has attained -the best record in business education.

Junior English Major Selected to Head Next Year's Manuscript The Manuscript Association recently elected Stephen Schwartz as next year's editor. Schwartz, who will be a senior English major, has served on the 'Manuscript' staff for the past two years. During this past year, he has served as Art Editor. Stephen Schwartz Schwartz, a native of New York, resides at Barre Hall during the school term. He is an active member of the Wilkes College Literary Society and the Wilkes College Committee for Sane Nuclea'r Policy. He has also appeared in Cue'n' Curtain's recent production of The Duchess of Malfi; Mr. Hodges commented that after looking over this area he felt that the people here are not distressed in morale or spirit, even though 15 per cent of the work force is unemployed. "I am impressed by the fact that the people here are not sitting back," said Mr. Hodges, waiting for the federal government to help. "Even. though I am a conservative business man, I ·still believe that the .g overnment · must help where local people can not help themselves. "The idea of creeping socialism is reactionary," he continued, "It is time for the government to help the citizenry not by -a handout but- by helping the people to help themselves. "Under this bureau," the secre·tary added, "there will be grants, loans, and the retraining of workers .so that the economic growth will be able to increase at four to five per cent annually. · "We business · men must get away from our selfish motives. Now we need to join together in a national effort to help this great country to make the common and public interest the · paramount goal." · · Mr. Batt said that he hopes the provisions of the ·bill will meet the expectations · of President Kennedy and the members of the Congress, p·articularly Congressman Flood.

The long-ball hitting freshman has been slugging the ball at a near .600 pace in these ball games to move his season's average to .325. In the early part of the season Lou was having great difficulty at the plate and went hitless in the first three contests. The agile third-sacker didn't become downhearted but worked harder at his stance and finally under the watchful eye of Bobby Ontko overcame a hitch in his swing. Since then he has been the leading hitter on the Colonel squad and has moved into the clean-up spot in the batting order. Against Albright the muscular six-footer gave the Colonel fans something to cheer about by driving a long double into right field and scoring on Ontko's home run. He continued his hitting spree against the Alumni and pounded out three singles, the last one :t,/:i:,:i:C:C:c'c/c,,:cc'c',, t\ltt:tlUW ttittt It tI )@it tt t tttI? ??? t t t )'I tt:t It t ??{ MI t tt I? /%: t ? t{ ff{tt{Ft t \?lt { t %lt t:t t<:n;;; @IBIIBTII i I II : I rn 11::rn I I II:II 1\N tr : } ]} ] j]]}}{j} Ji'./ } { J}} Jfj{ } )f}}}{J t)tt{l]t %I ff rnrntt: Lou Zampetti knocking in th e winning run. On Monday Lou had another good day at bat when he delivered two hits in three times at bat.

He proved his ability to go deep into the hole between short and Boozers Down 'Dusters For Second-Place Spot; Awards Made Tomorrow Saturday marked the official end of the co-ed Bowling League's activities as the Boozers downed the Gutterdusters in r oll-off competition for second place. Mike Dydo, displaying fine form , hit the pins for 203-554 to lead the Boozers to a clean sweep. Howie Williams chipped in with a fine performance by hitting 20-0-532.

Lou is a freshman from the Heights section of Wilkes-Barre and graduated from G.A.R. High School where he starred in football and baseball. For his gridiron exploits he was chosen a member of the Wyoming Valley Coaches' Big 33 and to the Unico All-East team. He is seeking an engineering degree. 5 EDITORIAL- Al the Two-Dollar Window . " . Another year has passed and most of us women included must admit_ to being a year older. Some of us will b~ coming back ne;t year to enJoy another semester or two of studies, finals, etc., ad nauseum. For others graduation is here, followed by the step into the cruel world. For myself, academic considerations, notably a very heavy schedule for the next two semesters, have forced me to 'bring my association with the Be~con to an end. P ersonally, it has been a very enjoyable and rewardmg year. The task of putting a newspaper together nearly every week throughout the year was often tedious and, at times, frustrating. Many were the times when we sat up here in our room on the second floor of Picke~ing Hall, writ!ng h~adlines at two o'clock in the morning to the cla~kmg of t~e radiator m the corner. The radiator had a peculiar habit of makmg a great deal of noise but was stone cold when the thermometer ho vered around zero and quite warm when the men of Hollenback played stickball on the lawn while dressed in Bermuda shorts. Nevertheless, we managed to meet our Friday morning deadline each and every time. To accomplish any project, many hands are needed, people who can work together cooperatively and many thanks are in order for those without whose work the spor ts section of the paper would not have been possible. George Tensa, next year's sports editor, was a very great help. He kept us supplied with the latest doings on the soccer ~eld, _the b:isketball co~r t and the baseball diamond. Working in conJunct10n with the Pubhc Relations Office in his capacity as assistant sports publicist, he brought much material our way. Although sometimes disappointed by the way I altered iome of his material he took it i1:1 stride, kept plugging away at it, and did a fine first ~lass job. Christopher Loesch religiously supplied us with football statistics last fall along with the intramural touch football results. Bil Watkins was excellent in his coverage of intramural bowling, I could always depend on him and Jerry Chisarick to keep us informed of the bowlers' activities. Ed Rogalski supplied me with information about the winter intramural basketball program. Dirk Dunlap kept us abreast of the tennis team's progress and John Adams aided us with go!~ results. Special thanks go to Art Hoover, who provided us with vanous sports material which came into his office 1md who never hesitated to go out of his way to fulfill a request. Swimming coach Carl Havira went to no end to provide us with swimming material. lhr. Reese and Mr. Pinkowski extended the services of their good offices innumerable times while Mr. Ralston and Dr. Farley very graciously cleared up the King's-Wilkes sports situation for me. To Len Y oblonski goes a note of appreciation and thanks for the use of his photographs. His talent in this particular art will undoubtedly be greatly valued next year. Jerry Shilanski helped us get out of several tough jams with excellent use of the Beacon's polaroid camera. A newspaper can po:;sess a fine staff which produces excellent results but unless it works in close cooperation with the technial aspect of its production, i.e., printing, all the work is to no avail. We have been unusually fortunate in having al). excellent mechanical department in Schmidt's Printery. Ed Schmidt struggled with our material at the linotype, Pop set up the material in the forms and Leo handled the presswork. To each of them goes an expression of deepest appreciation for all the help, advice, and suggestions they gave us during the year. Finally, deepest appreciation is in order for the teams themselves and their coaches. They provided us with the thrills, suspense, and excitement which , turned into copy, reached you, the reading public. Their sportsmanship made us proud of them and so to you, the athletic teams a special salute and thanks for an outstanding year. ---<lbh NeImen Close aI ScranIon TOday; Lose lo AIbrighI an d Moravian Why are some girls prouder of their rings than others ?

Name,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Address,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The tennis team draws its 1961 season to a close this afternoon with a match against the University of Scranton at one o'clock at the Scr anton Country Club. The Scranton Country Club has recently built six clay courts and the match is being held ther e rather than at the Municipal Courts where it had been originally scheduled . The squad's first win of the season came at the expense of the Royals last month, 9-1. Coach Art Hoover's boys will be out to make it two consecutive wins over the Scranton team and have extended an invitation to the student body to make the short sojourn to Scranton this afternoon to watch the team in action. The netmen's latest two sorties met with disaster as they lost to Albright and Moravian by identical scores of 6-3 and 6-3. Garry Einhorn, perhaps jinxed by having been named the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" last week, dropped both his singles matches but combined with Owen Francis and Steve Klein to win doubles. The Albright match saw the Colonel's team captain, Ron Bienkowski, pick up the only Blue and Gold singles win. At number two Bill Kline was downed by Glen Ruoss by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. Dirk Dunlap lost to Bill Ruoff in the number three spot, 6-3 and 6-4. Jim Kurtz bested Owen Francis at number four, 6-1 and 6-0; Garry Einhorn lost to Mike Shalter at number five, 6-1 and 8-6 while Ron Bienkowski defeated Mike Pierce at six. 6-3 and 6-1.

The second doubles match saw Bill Kline and Dirk Dunlap take the measure of Ruoff and Kurtz, 7-5 and 7-5. The netmen picked up their third point against the Lions by winning the third doubles, Francis and Einhorn over Anderson and Zentz, 6-4 and 6-1. Steve Klein and Buddy Menaker turned in singles wins against Moravian on Monday at Bethlehem. Both were long matches, Menaker downing Bill Grosh, 6-4, 5-7, and 6-4, while Klein won out over Richard Spaugh, 0-6, 7-5, and 6-0. In other singles a ction Bill Kline lost to Merr Trumbore at number one, 6-2 and 6-4; Bob Lipkin defeated Garry Einhorn at number two, 6-3 and 9-7; at number four Dirk Dunlap lost to Ken Walsh, 6-0 and 7-5; and Grove Stoddard defeated Ron Bienkowski at number six by scores of 6-4 and 6-2. . ROWDIES COP TITLE The Rowdies won the Intramural Softball championship on Monday by out-slugging the Old-Timers, 1310. The contest was marked by good hitting by both squads. Ron Sebolka hit a towering home run and Tom Pugh had a perfect day at the plate for the Old-Timers.

Each year the club sponsors a raffle to which the proceeds go toward to purchase of stock. The reasons the club has this program are to give the members the opportunity of participating in the selection of stock, as well as to enable the club to earn money from the dividends the stock brings in. In the club there is a special committee which chooses the stock which is to be purchased. The committee members, before choosing the stock, go through an active program of meeting stockbrokers from the community who advise them on the buying of the stock. From a wide range of choices the committee narrows down the number to a few stocks which they present to the club to be voted on. The one stock to be invested .in is then chosen. The club purchases the stock through the school comptroller, Mrs. Connolly. The certificate of ownership is accredited to the Economics Club account at the Finance Office. The committee can sell and buy stock any time it sees fit to d0 so. Tickets for the raffle are being sold until 12 noon today . The cost is 3 for 25 cents.

WILKES COLLEGE Vol. XXVI, No. 1 by Jerome Krasa The Institute of Municipal Government, originally formed in 1951 as part of the Political Science Department, has grown under the direction of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey to the point where it has gained national prominence. In 1960, the Ford Foundation, cognizant of the value of the work being done by the Institute, provided it with a substantial grant which enabled it to expand its program. The Institute has as a major purpose the strengthening of American democracy by guaranteeing the effectiveness of local government. This fundamental goal is supplemented by the Institute's program designed to improve local government in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Provision of in-service training for local government officials along with the granting of technical advice, assistance, and research as a follow-up to instruction and cooperation with other local agencies highlight this by Frances Corace program. The newly formed School Spirit The basic program is made up of Committee met on Wednesday to short courses which provide non- initiate plans for the forthcoming Shilanski Conducts First Meeting of Spirit Committee degree educational opportunities for elective and appointive officials, a reference library containing among other materials monthly copies of over 60 magazines and publications, a Luzerne County News Letter published monthly for circulation to local officials, a nd an Information Service plus a Field Consultation Service intended to provide practical and reliable information of a general nature and special consultation for municipal officials on management problems. In assisting local Civil Service Commissions in selecting qualified personnel, the Institute also provides a t esting service for general information and aptitude tests. A continuous program of research is maintained to provide the latest and best information for member officials at all times. The research material, as well as the other physical features of the program including the reference library, are housed in the Institute's office on the fifth floor of Parrish Hall. The courses offered range over a wide variety of topics, covering virtually all aspects of concern to local government officials, both elective and appointive. The curriculum for the coming fall and spring semesters calls for courses in small arms, municipal fire adm inistration, and criminal law for magistrates as well as for courses of interest in other fields of local government. These courses are offered in cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruct ion. Dr. Mailey directs the Institute staff which provides the instruction in the courses, augmented by guest lectures as the need arises. Mr. Philip R. Tuhy, a member of the Political Science Department, is the Educational and Research Associate. Mr. Alfred S. Groh, a member of the English Department, is Edito rial Consultant. In r ecog nition of their efforts, the local officials who participate in the program receive certificates at the annual dinner of the Institute held late in the spring. The wide scope of activities of the Institute was demonstrated at the last dinner as local government officials from several counties other than Luzerne r eceived certificates in courses ranging from training for township supervisors to training in police detective work. New Library Handbook Published to Aid All Students by Barbara Lore For the first time in the history of Wilkes College, a t extbook, whose subject matter is the Wilkes College Library, has been published. The text, entitled "A Student's Handbook to the Wilkes College Library", was compiled by the Library Staff, which includes Mr s. Nada Vujica, George Ermel, Miss Evelyn Lex, Frederick Krohl e, Miss Joanne Yurchak, and Mrs. Beverly Williams. It will be us ed as a handbook for the freshman library orientation course, in addition to the instructor's lecture.

An Ampex Stereo Unit, which has been purchased under the g uidance of Mr. Livingston Clewell, director of Public R elations at the college, has been installed in Chase Hall. The unit has s everal purposes, one of which is to enable the colleg e to present tap e recording s of the various vocal and instrumental groups on campus. Eventually, it is hoped that the s ound system may be used for announcements or for paging. Livingston Clewell Senior Class to Fete Freshmen in Contests Tonight at Gymnasium by Alice Bakun Upperclassmen as well as "frosh" are invited and urged by the senior class to attend the senior dance, entitled "Seniors Host Freshmen," to be held tonight at the college gymnasium, South Franklin Street. Commencing at 9 p.m. the affai r will end at midnight and promises to be a gala event for all. The highlight of the evening will be a dance contest for any freshman who likes to swing and sway. Beer mugs will be awarded to the four winning couples. Three separate contests will be conducted during which students will have the opportunity to exhibit their talents in the twist, the cha-cha, and the jitterbug. The music heard over the system during the mealtimes has been tap ed by Mr. Clewell from his record library containing over five hundred recordings. He has been taping on weekends and is trying to present varied programs to be enjoyed by all.

The opening weeks of the semester will mark a busy time for all of us but it is also a time when many precedents which will be adhered to in the coming year are being set. There are several things which should be done in order to insure that the precedents which are set are in keeping with the goal of improving our college and with the many phases of cam pus life. The Beacon staff wishes to make known at this time some of the plans being made for the coming year. In an effort to improve our publication we are announcing a deadline for the acceptance of material which will be enforced. We believe that it will be for the good of all concerned if information is in our office prior to 5 p.m. on the Tuesday afternoon preceding the Friday publication. We are also asking that whenever possible this information be presented earlier than this time in order to enable our reporters to write clear, concise, and accurate stories which will be a credit to the persons and organizations involved as well as to the members of the Beacon staff. Once again we would like to welcome everyone to the college and to extend best wishes for a successful and profitable year. Upperclass Participation Urged A number of student leaders joined last week with the members of Student Government in planning and efficiently carrying out a well-organized orientation program to welcome and acquaint the class of 1965 with our campus. The time and energy expended by this group will be to no avail if participation in the overall program by upperclassmen is lacking. In previous years, most freshmen entering the college abided by the orientation rules but most upperclassmen failed to carry out their end of the program. Only when upperclassmen participate by "hazing" the freshmen and enforcing freshman rules will the program be a success. It is appropriate here also for us to review the general purposes of the orientation program. One of these is to acquaint the freshmen with the customs and traditions of the college. A second purpose is to help to unify the freshmen as a class and to enable them to work together as a group as soon as possible. The wearing of clinks and ties and the carrying of pennants helps to accomplish this as does the class project which once again this year is the United Fund Dance. This affair, which is almost totally planned and executed by the freshman class, helps each member of the class to identify and recognize the class leaders, those who perhaps will be later elected to one of the class offices. In order to insure the success of the class project and to enable the freshmen to become assimilated into the student body, we as upperclassmen must take steps now toward a successful orientation program. Once again, this is now beyond the scope of the student leaders and is in the hands of the upperclassmen as a whole. You can help by enforcing freshman rules and regulations, attending tribunals, and helping the freshmen to become acquainted with every phase of college life.

Friday, September 22, 1961 Letters to the Editor . . • Stude~I Dear Editor: On behalf of the Wilkes College Student Government I should like to extend our appreciation for the work and planning put into Freshman Orientation Week by the student leaders, namely, class presidents, organization presidents, and the representatives of various campus organizations. Their unselfish work and service made the program what it was a tremendous success. To these people, the Student Government owes a great debt. Thank you. Respectfully yours Al Kishel, President, Student Government * * * To the Student Body of Wilkes College: Before getting to the motive for this timely message I would personally like to welcome back all of my fellow classmates and also extend an ardent welcome to the incoming freshm en. I sincerely hope that the forthcoming academic year at Wilkes College will prove to be very stimulating and highly successful to both the student body and the capable faculty. In order to contribute a modicum of services toward making this academic year successful, I am writing this vestige as a manifestation of my desire to achieve this desirable goal. Ever since I enrolled at Wilkes College, one particular aberration of the student body has vexed and perplexed m e. This concerns the disrespect a small segment of the student body has for their classmates. I am specifically referring to the fact that a numerous amount of volumes in the library have completely disappeared. These students who are the cause of these missing books are denying many of their classmates the opportunity to secure valuable information. Through their selfish and dishonest conduct, these students stifle our academic resources at the College which in turn creates obstacles to the educational growth of the College community. Ostensibly, these unprincipled individuals are not aware of the inimical effect their dishonesty has upon the college as a whole. To dismiss this problem would be quite easy; however, if the current trend persists, the situation will lead to one of disastrous proportions. Consequently, we must take immediate action to prevent further loss. I propose that the library staff institute more stringent regulations concerning the present liberal borrowing procedure. Secondly, each student should take it upon himself to make sure neither h e nor any of his classmates accidently or knowingly take out books illicitly from the library. Finally, faculty members should also consider their colleagues and the students by not abusing their library privileges. I would like to remind all my college cohorts that we are living in a troubled age. Outside forces threaten our freedom like a saturnine thundercloud. Only through cooperation, veracity, self-abrogation, and assiduous toil, can we retain and secure our well-cherished democratic ideals. By instituting actions such as I suggest, we can clearly manifest our desire for continued freedom, success, and happiness. Sincerely yours, Philip H. Siegel Class of 1963 * * * Dear Editor: Once again the school session gets underway, all returning upperclassmen are greeted with both old and new sights on our campus. Heading the list of new additions are the dorms, more facilities, rooms, and a large freshman class. Yet, as the student attempts to park his vehicle, all of the kamikaze pilots that were successful in finding a parking spot between 6 and 7 a.m. have taken all of the Go~ernmenl President Explains His Role_and Policies by Jerry Shilanski Organization, clear thinking, optimism, and high standards are the words and phrases that reel before you when scanning a typewriter keyboard looking for the right combination of letters to describe this year's Student Government President. Al Kishel. "I consider myself very fortunate to be president of the Student Government; therefore, I will do my best to meet the standards of the office." This was his humble reply when confronted with a point blank, "How do you like being the head of such a distinguished organization, Al?" Al Kishel little space that was available. In each lot there is a smiling school-appointed patrol ticket maintenance officer, gaily waving you on (since no space is available) making sure to check that you purchased a $6.00 sticker, even though it won't get the driver a parking spot. The most effi ciently marked and operated lot is at Parrish. Then going to the other extreme is the lot adjacent to Gore. Cars are bunched in to such an extent that many students find it impossible to open the door once the car is parked. If the student is lucky enough to open the door, the other problem is finding a way to walk through the maze and get to the sidewalk. Entering and leaving the lot is another novelty. Unless one is blessed with a continual stroke of good fortune, it is necessary to bounce up and down the curb to enter and leave. Besides knocking the front end out of line, many students have left souvenirs behind, such as tailpipe sections, mufflers, and bent bumpers from attempting to go over the curb. The writer is aware of the high cost of purchasing land to make additional space available for cars, but each year there are more students and more cars. With all of the increases there is not even a reasonable facsimile ratio to parking space available. Isn't there something that can be done to alleviate this condition which is continually getting worse? Respectfully yours, Ronald Diamondstein Women's Lounge Will Be Constructed in Pickering Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women, has announced construction of a women's lounge, to be located on the second floor of Pickering Hall. The purpose of the lounge, according to Dean Doane, is to provide a place with "homelike" atmosphere for commuting women students to go "for rest, not sociability". The crew is working daily on the construction of the lounge and will have it completed in about three weeks. Exact opening date will be announced in a later issue of the Beacon. NOTICE The Junior Class will meet on Thursday at 11 a.m. in Stark 116. He continued by saying, "the only way the Student Government can maintain the respect of the student body is to fulfill all of its obligations." Praising those serving on this policy-making body, he promised that by tapping the ability and potential of these people the organization's obligations will be fulfilled . "I am very much encouraged by the participation and spirit displayed by the student leaders and the entire student body during Freshman Orientation Week and the first week of school," said Al. When asked to reiterate the Student Government's role and policies, Al shot back as though he had rehearsed for this interview for weeks: "One. To act as a liaison between the student body and the Administration. "Two. To accurately formulate student opinion on all matters and refer such opinions to the appropriate channels. "Three. To coordinate all student or~anizations so that duplications and conflicts in student activities can be avoided. "And Four. To provide the student body with a well rounded extracurricular program so that students will not have to go elsewhere for their social enjoyment." In reference to the expanding role of the Student Government, Al emphasized the importance of stimulating creative thinking and originality on campus, uplifting the school spirit, acquainting the students with all the facilities and opportunities at Wilkes, and encouraging them to use these facilities. Al is convinced that the Student Government President is directly responsible for assuring the accomplishment of all objectives; this, he feels, can only be done by a president who makes himself aware of the expectations of the administration, the faculty, and the entire student body. He is also certain that the Student Government president is an actual reflection of every member of the student body and must conduct himself in a manner that will do justice to his colleagues. Al considers his presidency as a full time job; therefore, he no longer participated in the many clubs and organizations in which he was formerly active. The only activity that shares his time is a part-time job in a local accounting firm. Al, a senior accounting major, has been working with the Laventhol and Krekstein firm for several months and plans to do his accounting internship there later this year. He explained that his job gave him an invaluable opportunity to gain practical experience in his academic work. Presently undecided about his future, Al is contemplating applying for the Peace Corps, Marine Officers' Training Program, or admission to Law School. Further education is definitely among his future plans. Commenting on his past three years at Wilkes he unhesitantly suggested that this period had been a time of tremendous personal growth and development for him. In a nostalgic tone Al said, "Wilkes is really an outstanding institution. Sicne I have been Student Government President, I have had an opportunity to realize the efforts put forth by the administration in maintaining and raising the standards of the college. If I had it to do over I would choose (continued on page 3) �7, September 22, 1961 Wll.KFS COLLEGE BEACON .,.- rosh Have Varying Reaclions To First Week on Campus Two more tribunals, one on September 26 and another on October 3, will mete out suitable punishments to the offending "frosh"; all tribunals are compulsory for freshmen. "Frosh" living in dormitories have found that their upperclass "brothers and sisters" are eager to assist them in adjusting to campus life. Orientation, the process of transforming high school boys and girls into college men and women, began in earnest this week as upperclassm en returned for the 1961-62 acade mic year. The freshmen, who had reigned supreme during their first week on campus, r eact ed differently to the attentions of the older Wilkesmen.

Shelves Noled Faculty Member Discusses Experiences and Opinions Abroad· Continuing its program of Reading for Fun and Enjoyment, the Library has added many new books which both entertain and amuse. One excellent example is a hilarious novel of Gl's in Tokyo during the occupation - a zany tale of an army with no war to fight and nothing, really, to do. Bob Duncan's If It Moves, Salute It tells of Pfc. Frank Ellison, a new recruit straight from the corn belt, who was to learn "the army way" while stationed on the outskirts of Tokyo in 1945 at the Shogun Hotel. This hotel was taken over by a pleasure-loving captain of the Twelfth Special Service Company who turned it into a gilded resort with a sunken marble bathtub, some lusty murals, and a whiskey decanter that played "Onward Christian Soldiers" when tipped. This novel is for all publicspirited citizens who want to know what, exactly, our boys were doing over there. Sons of the South by Clayton Rand is a stirring tribute to those who have added to the greatness of our nation and to the glory of the South. Through picture and story one hundred gallant men from the American South come to life. Rand probes the hearts and minds of such valiant Americans as Sam Houston, a man who rose from the depths of personal tragedy to achieve greatness; John James Audubon, who endured years of poverty until his genius was finally recognized; the kindly Dr. Gorrie, who invented the first ice-making machine for the comfort of his patients and who died unaware of his enormous achievement; the lanky Andrew Johnson, the only president who never spent a day in a classroom. Included in the honor roll of the South are Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Cordell Hull and Woodrow Wilson, Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie. All were men who f o u g h t courageously for their ideals; all were men sired by the South. As many of our readers know, Dr. Stanko M. Vuiica, chairman of the Philosophy-Religion department, had spent the past academic year in Pakistan and India as a Fulbright scholar. On his way to Asia Dr. Vuiica visited the countries of South Europe and Middle East and on his homeward trip he had a three-month tour of the Far East. We asked Dr. Vuiica for comments on some of his experiences. Speaking of his many contacts with college and university students abroad, Dr. Vuiica said: Colonial Dames Sponsor National Essay Contest; For Juniors and Seniors "I made it a point to see the institutions of higher learning in almost eevry country I visited. The students were hungry for information about America. In regards to the American campus life, they wanted to know if it was true that most American students work their way through school; that most ha ve "steady" dates; that there is a great emphasis on sports; that there is little interest in politics among students; that classes are conducted in an informal manner. Several students asked about the "b e a t n i k phenomenon" in the States. It was, of course, easy for me to answer such questions, but there were others. Usually there were a few leftist oriented in the group and they were more articulate when it came to such questions as the segregation in American schools, Wall Street "imperialism", American "preparations" for war, etc. I rarely had a chance to answer this type of question as the Dr. Stanko Vuiica individuals who asked them would usually be shouted down by their memorable, Dr. Vujica said, "There were · many unforgetable experifellow students." ences, but somehow I cherish most One hears a great deal about the moment of my brief venture wide-spread anti-American feelings into the cold-war diplomacy.

You and millions of others have probably missed the color and excitement of the world's most famous gridiron classic and, chances are, you will never see the game because of the huge demand for tickets. Yet here is your chance to do just that. The Wilkes College Lettermen's Club is offering you a chance to see this game at their expense and effort. Autumn is upon us and with the season's first brisk winds and frosts murmurs of "football, football" are heard from Massachusetts to Oregon. To a small but equally spirited circle, it's soccer season, time for the players to "get in shape" for one of the most gruelling and uner-attended games in sportdom. During the past two weeks the twenty-five man edition of the 1961 Wilkes Colonels squad has been doing just that under the critical eyes of Coach Jim Ferris. Finally the big day is drawing near; on Wednesday afternoon the Colonels kick the lid off their 1961 schedule when they meet the Susquehanna university squad in a M.A.C. contest at the new Wilkes Athletic Field at 3 :30. The visitors from Selinsgrove downed the Colonels in their initial meeting last season, 4-3. Despite losses via graduation Coach Ferris feels that our returning lettermen, led by co-captains Ted Toluba and Chuck Weiss, will form the nucleus of a strong team. Among the old reliables are: Frank Lepore, George Tensa, Clyde Roberts, Pete Eckhart, Erwin Guetig, Walt Prusakowski, and J o h n Adams. A great help in "Operation Soccer - 1961" is that many of the newcomers to the squad have had some soccer experience. Bill Flynn played four season of varsity soccer in Toms River, New Jersey, while Todd Gibbs played at Allentown High. Don Jacoby, Tom Tomalis, Dick Morgan, N. Doherty, Tom Bloomer, and Jack Barnes are bidding for a starting berth. In regards to our possibilities of a winning season co-captain Ted Toluba expressed the team's optimism, "with an ever-improving team that knows only hustle, the outlook is definitely bright." Of course, the Colonel booters will face formidable opposition having several ··All-MAC" players but veteran Frank Lepore says, "We'll hustle them to death." The latest word from Coach Jim Ferris indicates the starting lineup is indefinite, but will probably include Chuck Weiss and Erwin Guetig at the fullback slots and Ted Toluba at center halfback. Clyde Roberts, Frank Lepore, Walt Prusakowski, and Pete Eckhart seem to have gained berths on the line with John Adams holdini down the goal-tending chores. Coach Ferris has been driving the hooters to whip them into top physical shape, and he has juggled his lineup to balance weaknesses, both offensively and defensively. Injuries, although not serious ones, have been starting to creep up on the squad. Freshman Don Jacoby has been out for a week with a pulled groin muscle while Chuck Weiss has a swollen knee and George Tensa is still hampered by a sprained ankle. After the home opener against Susquehanna on Wednesday the Colonels will travel to Long Island on September 30th to meet Wagner in a renewed rivalry. SENIOR STALWARTS - Th'is quartet of Seniors is expected to form the nucleus of this year's soccer squad. The veterans are, left to right: Frank Lewre, George Tensa, Ted Toluba, and Clyde Roberts.

He ranked among the first or in his office in the rear of Chase ten in MAC standings in rushing, Hall on the second floor. scoring, and total offense for two consecutive years, capping his performance by being named to the northern division All-Conference squad and the ECAC team of the week. Marv also was MAC wrestling champion in the 177 pound division for the past three years. when they were seniors. This is the year of the prophecy. Last season the Colonels were two teams. Defensively they were granite-hard and allowed only 109 points in nine games. Offensively they spent the season sputtering and stalling and managed only 56 points in a 2 and 7 season. The reason for this odd transformation from a defensive Goliath to an offensive inadequate seemed to lie largely with the quarterback corps where Paul Aquilino shared the starting role with Al Gubanich. Although they proved to be ample runners, neither could throw long passes consistently and, as a result, opponents stacked their lines to halt the ground attack. As of now, Coach Pinkowski seems to have the answer to this problem in quarterback Ted TravisBey from Phoenixville. The 5'-9", 165-pound freshman has shown that he can throw the ball accurately as well as carry it effectively. He has displayed a good deal of poise and confidence in performing his role. Bill Schwab and Al Gubanich are vying for the quarterback slot also. Tom Krisulevicz of Plymouth powers the Colonel running game. The 5'10", 170 pound senior runs from fullback and has the speed to make the long gain. Last season Tom was ranked fourth in yardage gained in the MAC while averaging 3.3 yards per carry. Frank Wal- lace of Larksville is expected to run from the left halfback position while the right half post is still being contested by Bud Hardy, John Gardner, and Richie Capitan. Hardy poses a double threat with his ability to pass as well as run. The biggest asset the Wilkesmen possess is their line with a number of lettermen returning to action. Veteran Rick Rees will be hard to dislodge at right end while Larry Turel is battling for the left end position. Tackle and guard posts will be less troublesome spots for Pinkowski as he has a number of eager candidates for these positions. At tackle will be Jim Brunza, 6'1", 200 pound senior, and Pete Winebrake, returning to Wilkes after a stint in the Marine Corps where he was an All-Marine tackle. Pete also was named Outstanding Lineman in 1957 at Wilkes. Junior Nick Alesandro is also contesting a tackle post while Chuck Cherundolo is sidelined with a leg injury. At guard will be Jerry Mohn, 5'8", 210· pound junior; Don Eller, a senior; and freshman Len Kibildis of Plymouth. Mohn was the only lineman in the MAC to win Outstanding Sophomore plaudits last season. Bill Meneeley, 6'2", 190 pound junior from Coughlin, is expected to start at center and may very well Marv Antinnes be one of the best middle-men in the conference. Last season Bill showed vast improvement. Among the upperclassmen bidding for varsity spots are Dick Blisick, John Evanich, Paul Aquilino, Bill Mulford, and Joe Kruczek.

This was the opinion expressed by Michael F. P. Bianco, senior political science major, after completing a period of summer governmental service at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. Along with nine other governmental interns, Bianco was one of the winners of the 1960 James A. Finnegan Fellowship Foundation A wards. The Finnegan Foundation was established to provide practical training in government and politics for outstanding students in Pennsylvania colleges and universities and to honor James A. Finnegan. Bianco found his experience "rewarding because the members of the foundation and the representatives of the government gave me valuable insight into government and political action, and challenging because of the new groups of people and areas of responsibility which were made known to me." Along with the other winners of the annual competition, Bianco was given the opportunity to work as a trainee in the Labor and Industry Department, and to take part in an organized orientation p r o g r a m which was designed to give each intern an over-all view of the operations of the state government. Bianco spent the period of his internship with the Public Relations division of the State Department of Labor and Industry. He also did some work with the Publicity Division of the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee on a Civil Rights fact sheet. His work with Public Relations consisted in writing press rel eas es for the Department and doing research on legislation which the Department wanted passed or defeated. Toward the end of the summer, Bianco assisted in compiling a Radio and Television Directory, a publication of the Department of Labor and Industry. Along with his governmental work, Bianco participated in weekly conferences at the administrative level at which cabinet officials explained the functions of their respective departments. He and the other interns also met with Governor David L. Lawrence on several occasions, a man whom Bianco found to be a "personable and an effective administrator".

The new members will fill vacancies caused by recent resignations. The date for the election has been set as Friday, October 6. Execut·1ve w·n s k I pea To Interested Students On "The ObVIOUS • " Ted Begun was elected secretaryi for the new term, and Mike Bianco was appointed permanent parliam~ta~i:t~~n passed at this first meeting added a new facet to the Student Government body. For the 1961-62 school year an official record will be kept of the votes of every Student Government representative on each motion passed. This will enable interested members of the student body to check on their representative's vote on pertinent issues, to insure proper representation. Topics on the agenda included reports from the standing committees. Jim Walters announced that the extra-curricular a c t i v i t i e s budget had a balance of $471.66, which may be donated toward a scholarship fund, if so voted by the Student Government. Jerry Shilanski, representing the S c h o o 1 Spirit Committee at the meeting, proposed that a portable public address system be installed on campus for college activities. Reports were also submitted by the policy, calendar, publicity, constitution, and evaluation committees. An External Affairs Committee was created to consider matters off campus, such as state or federal legislation, or an event of national importance, which would involve the interests of the college. Mike Bianco was appointed chairman. Ed Rogalski was put in charge of a Bulletin Board Committee, to investigate the possible role of the Student Government in maintaining the bulletin board on the Commons. Reports were also heard from Special Events Committees. The Orientation Committee, headed by Ted Begun and Jim Walters, announced that a rope-pulling contest between the freshmen and upperclassmen will be held at the football game Saturday, September 30. Bonnie Jenkins reported that a Student Government sign will be posted at Harding Hall in the near future. Other committees discussed plans for the Undergraduate Dinner Dance, Homecoming, Dr. Farley's Day, and the United Fund. Nominations for the Court of Appeals were opened, and Activity forms from various organizations were accepted. Both the Calendar Committee and President Kishel stressed the importance of submitting these completed forms as soon as possible, as it facilitates planning of the activities calendar, and indicates the organization and forethought of the club involved. The Student Government recommends that jackets be required for all dances scheduled, ex·c ept novelty affairs. Seniors Present Assembly The senior class has undertaken a project that no other class has done at Wilkes. Aware of the criticism often directed toward assembly programs in the past, the senior class has taken what it hopes will become a tradition for this class in the years to come. With this in mind, the class has obtained Dr. Dorothy J. Lipp, Dean of Women at Pennsylvania State University, to address next Thurs(continued on page 4) Louis ·P . Shannon, manager of the DuPont Company's Extension Division, has chosen "The Disappearance of the Obvious" as his topic when he speaks h ere next Tuesday. A member of Phi Kappa Phi, an honorary scholastic society, and the Public Relations Society of America, Mr. Shannon was secured through the office of Dean Ralston to speak to the Economics and Retailing Club s and SAM. However, officials of each of these groups emphasized that the entire student body is welcome to hear this address, which will be given in Stark 109 at 11 a.m., by a man who has made a mark in both the business and education worlds. Mr. Shannon will discuss the factors that have spurred the nation's economic growth and will show how these factors have become obscured almost to the point of disappearance. When asked if he had a preference as to addressing a student or a faculty audience, Mr. Shannon pointed out that he thought the student body at Wilkes could profit more from this talk than faculty members could. For this reason, he hopes to address a large group of students. Receiving his bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University and his master's degree from the University of Florida, he has gained much experience abroad as an educator and a school administrator. Lettermen Drink to Raffle by Julie Evans The Lettermen's P r e - S ea s on Punch Party will be held today from 1 o'clock to 4 o'clock at Chase Lawn to kick off the coming football and soccer season. Y orath Evans, senior secondary education major, is the chairman. The club held teas and punch parties in the past, but the tradition was stopped a few years ago. There will be no charge of admission and the lettermen will serve the refreshments. All students and faculty members are cordially invited to attend the party. The Lettermen are also sponsoring a raffle that began Tuesday, September 26 and will continue until Homecoming. Group to Charter Buses Busses to take students to away athletic events are being chartered this year by the School Spirit Committee. Tickets for next Saturday's game with the Pennsylvania Military Academy will be on sale in the Bookstore until Thursday. The price of this ticket for the trip to PMC which is located in Chester, Pa., will be $3.00. Admission to the game will be free for students on the busses. The future of this program depends on the participation of the students on this initial trip. Attend the Pep Rally Today, Noon, Chase Lawn STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE. PENNSYLVANIA New Representatives Needed For Student Government Posis Boost School Spirit. New Instructors Aid College Atmosphere With Past Experi nces by Jerome Krasa The college continued its tradition of striving for excellence in education by again adding a substantial number of new instructors to the faculty. This year, ten men and women joined the ranks of fulltime Wilkes professors. That our faculty member are selected on the basis of what they can contribute to the student body in the way of new and varied ideas is made amply evident with just a glance at the educational background and prior experience held by these new instructors. Dr. Frederic E. Bellas, a native of Edwardsville, is typical of the new faculty instructor. After receiving his terminal degree from Wilkes in 1947, Dr. Bellas transferred to Pennsylvania State University, where he soon obtained his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees and also his Doctorate in Physics. At Wilkes, he is an Associate Professor of Physics. Mrs. Wanda Hilner typifies the beauty and charm of the new women instructors. Reversing a trend common in the Valley, Mrs. Hilner went to high school in New Jersey (Teaneck) and then came here to teach. She received her Bachelor's degree from Hood College in Frederick, Maryland in 1960 and, explaining that she recently got married, she said that she came to the area as her husband's work is situated here. She is an instructor in the Biology Department. A new instructor who left the hills of North Dakota for the valleys of Pennsylvania, Mr. Kent Kirby is a signal addition to our Art Department. He completed his studies in his home state and received his Bachelor's degree from Carleton College and his Master's degree from the University of North Dakota. His previous teaching experience includes two years as art instructor at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. His hobbies include painting, sports, and the theater. Home life is divided between his wife, Lynn, and two young children, Kalin Louise and Jeffrey Bruce. Mr. Albert Stralka is by far the youngest among the new instructors. He attended Hanover Township High School and is still a resident of the Township. Entering Wilkes in 1957, he re,c eived his Bachelor's degree just this past June. His m"a jor hobby is golf and he can be found professionally in Conyngham Hall carrring out his duties as a member of the Mathematics Department. Another bright addition to the faculty, Dr. Bernice Leagus, is also from this area. A native of Wilkes-Barre, she attended Wilkes for two years, then transferred to Bucknell to obtain her Bachelor's degree. Her Master's and Doctor's degrees were obtained at Pennsylvania State University. A former instructor at Wilkes, she also taught part-time at Penn State. At Wilkes, she is an Assistant Professor of Biology and Coordinator of our Nursing Program. Mr. Robert Lovett received his Bachelor's degree from Ithaca College and his Master's degree from Teachers College of Columbia University. His prior experience includes several positions in colleges around the country. Between high school and college, he found time FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1961 Shilanski Heads State CCUN; Sophomore Demonstrates Ability by Joe Klaips Jerry Shilanski, a member of the sophomore class, was appointed state chairman of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations. On June 14-22, .Shilanski, representing Wilkes, along with representatives of the C.C.U.N. organizations all over the nation, attended the Sixteenth Annual Intercollegiate Leadership Institute of the United Nations. Held at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. this year's institute with 165 representatives, was the largest ever held. Here, Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the group. In addition to the time spent in conference and discussion groups on the college campus, the representatives spent two days at the United Nations headquarters. A detailed tour of the United Nations building was conducted and several delegates from various countries addressed the group. At the conclusion of the Institute, elections were held and a regional director was elected; it was he in turn who appointed Shilanski to coordinate the activities of the C.C.U.N. in Pennsylvania. Incidently, although Shilanski has only been a member for one year, he was appointed to this position because of his outstanding qualifications of leadership and his sincere interest in the organization. When asked what the position m eant to him, Shilanski replied, "It gives me an opportunity to work for an organization which has, within its power, the possibility of Jerry Shilanski bringing a lasting peace in the _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _,_world." to take part in five campaigns in Europe in World War II. Married and the fat her of four children, he has published several articles and is a guest conductor of the U. S. Air Force and U. S. Navy Bands, among others. Bringing a touch of internationali sm of the new instructors, Carolyn Morris, after receiving her Bachelor's degree from Wellesley ·College, attended the s um m er school divisions of L'Ecole Polytechnique and the Sorbonne: Louvre in Paris. Formerly a parttime instructor at Wilkes, she was also Department Manager of Children's Wear Merchandising at Abraham and Straus. Very active in community affairs, she has one lively son who manages to keep her busy at home. At the college, she teaches economics and retailing. Mr. Harvey Bresler, in addition to his duties in the Commerce and Finance Department, is the college's' Director of Development. He received his AB and LLB degrees from Columbia University. At various times, he has studied at the University of California, New York University, and Columbia University Graduate School. A former member of the New York Adult Education Council, his nonprofessional hobby is book reviewing. Edward Benson Lewis is another of our new faculty members who has studied abroad. After getting his Bachelor's degree from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, he spent some time at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland in special studies on James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, Anglo-Irish novels, and Anglo-Irish drama. He received his Master's degree at Ohio State University, and is a member of the English Department. Jose Ribas studied at three of the m ajor schools in Spain, the Universities of Salamanca, Madrid, and Barcelona. This native of Ge- Discussing the subject further, Shilanski stated that it is the objective of the C.C.U.N. at this time to increase active participation in the organization by more colleges throughout the nation. In addition to serving as state chairman of C.C.U .N., Shilanski is vice-president of the organi1zation here on campus. He is chairman of the School Spirit Committee, a member of the Beacon staff, chairman of the committee for Sane Nuclear Policy, and publicity chairman for the class of 1964. From the academic angle, Shilanski is enrolled in the liberal arts program and plans to enter the field of journalism upon graduation. The experience he is gaining now as state chairman of the C.C.U.N. by corresponding with member colleges will undoubtedly be an asset to him in the journalistic field. USMC Team Coming A Marine Corps Officers Selection Team will be on campus October 4 and 5 to interview students who are interested in becoming officers in the United States Marine Corps. This Selection Team will be available during these two days in the Commons. Three basic programs are availaable: two for male students and one for fema le students.

Inter-Dormitory Council, wish to The freshmen were instructed to wear their "Sunday best" and as usual, they attracted the attention of many an upperclassman as they appeared on all parts of the campu_s on Friday morning. At noon, a contest was held to select the nicest and most unusual toys. The winners were awarded with an exemption from tribunal attendance, but the story does not end here. This year, "toy day" was only the beginning of a project which was to gladden the hearts of many children as well as to bring credit to the students of Wilkes, particularly the freshmen and the members of I.D.C. Following the noon contest, the freshmen were invited to place their toys in a container for distribution to charity. The toys were then taken by two I.D.C. members to two local institutions. Half of the 250 toys collected were donated to the St. Stanislaus Institute at Nanicoke, and he remainder were given to the Plymouth Salvation Army for distribution among the needy. This project certainly brings a great deal of credit to the college and the I.D.C. members who arranged the project as well as the freshmen who participated are deserving of recognition. Thanks to them, this year's "toy day" fulfilled not only the purposes of the orientation program, but also brought a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment to those less fortunate. Once again, congratulations to all concerned for a job well done. From the First Row Baltimore Chamber Orcheslra Well Received·by Students by Bob Kundr:eskas Th e Baltimore Chamber Orchest r a und er the direction of Elliott W. Galkin presented a varied program at Tuesday's assembly. The program was void of the usual "workhqrses" g enerally expected at such . presentations. The opening work, a rarely h eard overture by Sacchini, established the fact that the en semble was a first-rate group. The tempi were crisp and the bowings precise. In the "Concerto for Piano and Orch estra in C", by Paisiello, pianist Daniel Abrams proved himself more than equal to the demands of the composer. His playing was strong and precise. Friday, September 29, 1961 Bela Bartok's "Ro um an i an Dances" were a joy to the ear. The dan ces are · highly expressive and Mr. Galkin exacted this expressive feeling with precision in the various Rubati. "The Concert Piece for Bassoon and String Orchestra", by Phillips, was another matter. The bassoonist, Stanley P etrulis, and the conductor had, at times, difficulty in agreeing on a common tempo. The student body, as delighted as myself with the performance, ex pressed their appreciation with their hands. The warm applause awarded to the orchestra upon its c o m p I e t i o n of the ,program prompted a well -deserved encore. WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Associated Women Students - Today, noon, Pickering 203.

Europeans Interesting Co-ed _F inds on Tour by Roz Deretchin "Any tra-veler who has been to Europe can tell you about the famous sights, but Europe is not just a world of church es and museums; it is a place where life and customs are different from ours in the United States." Miss Roz Deretchin, a sophomore psychology major, who toured Europe with a group of American college stud ents last summer, went on to tell .of the interesting people she had met in Europe. Unlike most · conducted tours of Europe, Miss Deretchin's group visited many places which were off the beaten tourist path; this gave her an opportunity to meet students and natives of each co untry through which sh e passed. Recounting her adventures, she said, "One night in Edinburgh, Scotland, we visit ed a women's dormitory at Edinburgh University. We introduced ours elves as American students interested in talking to Scottish stud ents. Within a matter of minutes, -we met a group of girls who were eager to talk with us about what America is really like." Though sh e found that many of the people that sh e met believed Americans to be rich and spoiled, sh e quickly added that everyone did not share this opinion. "For example," she said, "in the small towns, people were extremely friendly and went out of their way to please us." "In fact," she added, "aside from seeing the many famous places, what I r eally loved most about Europe were those small towns, where the people wore costumes indigenous to their country, and where their way of lif e has changed little This whole thing started way back in 1957 when Lee was a junior at West P ittston High School.

"Although I am pleased with the sin cere efforts of Al Kish el and the orientation committee that helped him reorganize the 'ha,zing' program, I would like to see more effective application of the committee's suggestions.

M. Hounds Feature Passing Attack; Colonels Have Balanced Offense The Greyhounds of Moravian College will provide the opposition for the Blue and Gold gridders as they raise the curtain on their 1961 season tomorrow afternoon. Kickoff time is listed for two o'clock at the new Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Greyhounds downed the Colonels, 14-2, in last year's contest and hold a 9-1 series edge over the Wilkesmen. The Greyhounds started the season last week and were edged by C. W. Post, 21-19. Although they tasted defeat the scouting reports indicate the Greyhounds have a strong team with depth at each position. For the first time the visitors are operating from the wing-T formation with quarterback's option. Andy Semmel got the starting nod at the quarterback slot last week-end and responded with nine completed passes, good for two touchdowns. J im Frank, Bill Hino, and Jim Kelyman fill out the remaining backfield posts. The Greyhound line shows good size, fair speed and experience. Of course the Colonels will have to take a backseat to no one as they attempt to bob above the .500 mark for the first time in recent years. Last year the Colonels utilized primarily power plays up the middle to lead their offensive thrust. This season the power is still there but a better-rounded attack is expected. A sharp passing attack, quarterback Ted Travis-Bey to Rick Rees and Larry Turel, mixed strategically with the bronco-busting type running of fullback Tom Krisulevicz and halfback Frank Wallace will give the Wilkesmen their best balanced attack in years. Wallace, a converted quarterback, gives the Blue and Gold a halfback with which to operate the option. H e has the speed to make sizable gains around the end and can throw accurately to spell nothing but trouble for the opposition. The nu cleus of a winning team is a good line has been the cry of success_ful coaches d_o wn through the years. This year's team has a solid nucleus on which to build. Jim Brunza, Ed Gavel, Pete Winebrake, and Chuck Cherundolo give the Colonels plenty of "beef" at the tackles. The guards-Don Eller, J erry Mohn, Len Kibildis and Len Ri chards and Len Rishofski are small by college standards but have the speed and experience to offset this seemingly deficit. Three-deep are the centers with Ferrismen Perform Well in Clash Against Fasl Susquehanna Team Lepore Gains Nod as Athlete of the Week This year on the Wilkes soccer team the emphasis is on close teamwork. One of the players who exemplifies this endeavor is senior Retailing major, Frank Lepore. "Sweetie Pie", as he is called by his teammates, serves almost as a cheerleader for the team in addition to handling his outside right position with a great amount of skill and determination. In Wilkes' 1-0 victory over Susquehanna University Wednesday, Frank repeatedly initiated drives that ended with the Wilkesmen hammering at the Crusaders' goal. He was instrum ental in the Wilkes scoring thrust, as he helped bring the ball past the Susquehanna defenders into scoring position. Late in the game Frank made several crucial defensive moves as the team staved off a rejuvenated Crusader attack. ' With only one day of rest after Wednesday's clash with Susquehanna, the Colonel soccer team will be seeking their second straight triumph in as many games when they tangle with Wagner College this afternoon at 3 :30 at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Colonels shut out Susquehanna, 1-0, in their season's opener. The Blue and Gold hooters will definitely be up for today's contest. Not only will they be out to score their second victory but they are eager to have the winning season that has escaped them the past two years.

People of the Sun by John Blofeld is a study of contemporary Siam - the transition from its ancient ways to a type of Westernization. Characters introduced in the novel lead us to a country where the scents of flowers and incense mingle with an everthickening m iasma of petrol fumes ; where the chanting of Buddhist m onks alternates w ith the blare of radios relaying the latest "hits" ; a n d where, in an emerald settin g of rice fields and jungle, the jewelled spires of royal temples rise above rows of concrete office blocks. On April 19, 1775, Adam Cooper, a ged fift een, signed t he muster roll of the Lex ington militia. A pril Morning by Howard Fast is a story of the unbearable t ension of the next twenty-four hours of his life. This is the story of a battle, but certa inly unlike any battle story you have ever r ead. In addition to the portrait of Cooper's coming of age, of his first knowledge of love and death, and of his struggle to triumph over his own youth, it is an a ccount of t he · heroism of an unheroic people. For those of you p r a ct i c a 1 r eader s who are searching for new job opportunities, t h e library has purchased Walter de Sager's Making Pottery.

In relation to this issue Mr. Hobbs stated, "We are receiving an increasing number of requests for such skills from prospective host countries. We will have to turn down t h ese requests if we are unable to meet their needs."

Eastman Kodak has endowed Wilkes with a direct grant of $2,400 under the company's annual aid-to-education program. Wilkes is one of 58 colleges and universities to receive grants from Kodak this year. The grants are based on the number of graduates from these institutions who joined Kodak five years ago and are presently employed by the company. Kodak has contributed a total of $3,400 in direct grants to Wilkes since 1959. This year's grant is based on I. J . Swicklik, a 1949 Wilkes alumnus who was graduated with a B.S. degree in chemistry. Mr. Swicklik is now a research chemist for the Eastman Kodak Company of New York. The company's 1961 aid-to-education program calls for direct grants, fellowship awards, and special contributions totaling approximately $1 million.

A glance at the college calendar reminds us that the annual Homecoming Weekend is just two short weeks away. Many campus organizations have already begun to plan for the affair which promises to be one of the best yet. One of the functions of the Beacon staff with regard to this weekend will be the selection of the Homecoming Queen and her court. Nominations for queen may be made by any member of the student body and should be made in the form of a letter submitted to the Beacon. Students are asked to keep in mind the qualities of personality, academic ability, appearance and participation in extra-curricular activities when submitting their nominations. Only coeds who are members of the senior class are eligible. From the list of nominees, the members of Student Government and the members of the editorial board of the editorial board of the Beacon will select the Homecoming Queen and her court. The cooperation of the student body is requested in this effort and we are asking everyone to begin now to carefully consider his choice for the coed who will reign over the Homecoming celebration. ~::r';:~***************** The 'Beacon' Mailbox An unusual and welcome sight greeted us this past week in the form of some nine letters to the editor which were received on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, space did not permit our publishing of all the letters received. Needless to say, we are pleased to see the interest which has been generated in campus affairs. We are pleased also that students have recognized the Beacon as a means of communicating their opinions to their classmates as well as to the faculty and administration members. It is our sincere wish that such letters written on any subject which will appear frequently in the Beacon mailbox. All letters submitted for publication must be signed, however, the name of the author may be withheld upon request.

(Editor's Note: Because of limited space and similarity of letters contributed, several letters which were submitted do not appear in this issue.) Dear Editor, I feel it is my duty to lodge a complai nt about the apathetic and immature forces that are directing the 1961 Orientation Program. Too many upp erclassm en have shied away from responsible actions and are guiding Freshmen to carry trays and shine shoes while neglecting to guide them in the traditions of Wilkes College. If the goal of the orientation program is the annoyance of Freshmen, then the 1961 program has been successful; but if the goal of the program is the assimilation of the Freshmen into the strange world of college life, then the program has fail ed. The only reasonable cure for the errors of the program is the individual responsibility of each member of the upperclass. As amusing as it might be to have a lackey for three weeks, the Freshmen were never meant to be responsible for the needs of the upperclassmen. Strange as it might seem , it is the upp erclassmen, as experienced college students, who are responsible for the needs of the Freshman.

I have postponed writing this letter for a number of weeks, but I now realize that I should have spoken up last year. I am a senior at the college, and for the past few years have had the opportunity to witness the hazing period. The spirit of hazing is traditionally accepted as it should be, but when tradition oversteps the bounds of personal dignity, moderation is called for. It has reached that point. Let us examine the spirit of hazing. Is it not true that the purpose of that institution to create an atmosphere of good will among the students at the college? Why then must certain students seize upon this opportunity to impress upon the hapless freshman that he is an "all-powerful" individual who must be cow-towed to or else beware of the consequences. Another reason for hazing is to force the student to make friends more quickly by pulling the freshman class together through their common, unfortunate situation. In theory, this is a fin e idea, but in practice that is not the case. The day students form cliques, not beca use of hazing, but because they are from the same section of the area. The dorm students form close friendships within their own dorm and through inter-dorm rivalry. Both day and dorm students form friendships through class association. Therefore, how necessary is hazing? Yours truly, Harvey Stambler * * * Dear Editor, After reading last week's article on hazing, it made me realize that our program has much to be desired. Instead of making the Freshmen feel that they are a part of the college, it ridicules and sets them apart from the rest of the students. If upperclassmen would spend as much time helping the Freshmen as they do ridiculing them, not only the Freshman, but the college itself would certainly benefit. Respectfull y, Barry Witt * * * Dear Editor, In response to last week's article on the subject of hazing, I agree with those students who feel that the program n eeds modification. Because many dormitory students become intoxicated with power, the entire program falls short of its objectives. It is because of this, that the power of the over-zealous students must be curb ed. Sincerely yours, Carl Hirsch *** Dear Editor, Needless to say, our library staff was very pleased to see that three articles featured the Library in the first issue of the Beacon. We were particularly in agreement with Phil Siegel's plea to the student body to be more considerate of their colleagues, and particularly to check out books when r emoving them from the library. Our books from the main collection for two weeks, after which reminders are sent to the culprit and a fine of two cents per day is charged for every overdue book. Faculty memb ers do not receive any overdue notices, but as soon as it is known to us that a student wishes a book which is taken out by a faculty member, we call up the faculty member immediately. Reserve books and special assignments circulate for a restricted time and cannot be renewed. It is gratifying that from the students themselves comes a courageous voice stressing: "Only through cooperation, veracity, self-abrogation, and assiduous toil, can we retain and secure our well-cherished democratic ideals." I have visited many countries and university campuses where democracy is not fully understood. I was I Friday, October 6, 1961 Senior Saxophonist Gives Recital; Classics Featured in Concert by Jerry Shilanski A rare treat of mellow melodies, coming from the bell of Ed Y adzinski' s classical saxophone, will be available to the ears of Wyoming Valley next Thursday. The "swingin' cats" from TV Bandstand may not recognize the sounds that flow from this senior music education major's horn, but the lovers of "long hair" will be amazed by the unusual potential and techniques that can be demonstrated by a classical saxophonist. As Ed put it, "It's entirely different from 'rock and roll'," Ed, who is known at the colleg~ as somewhat of a virtuoso on the saxophone and clarinet, will climax his ten years of musical study on the evening of October 12, in the college gymnasium . The repertoire for his senior instrumental recital will contain many contemporary French works. In the past, very little classical music has been written for the saxophone. The saxophone is seldom heard in American or nonFrench symphony orchestras. Some of the selections on the program are: Concerto for Saxophone by Glazonouv; Concertino for Saxophone and Improvisation et Caprice by Eugene Bozza; Rapsodie for Saxophone, without a ccompaniment, by Debussy ; Pavanne by Maurice Ravel; Miniature Viennese March by Fritz Kreisler. The difficult orchestral accompaniment will be rendered by Tom Hrynkiw at the piano. Ed began his musical career at Hanover Township High School.

Last season the Colonels outplayed the Cadets only to drop a 12-0 decision on a blocked punt and a fumble. This will be th e third outing of the season for the Cadets who have em erged from their gridiron battles with Wagner and Wester n Maryland with victories. These wins have been impressive enough to get the ,Cadets a ninth place rating in the battle for the Lambert Cup, the symbol of Eastern small college football supremacy. Coach George Hansell has a veteran squad with twenty lettermen form ing t h e nucleus of this year's squad. Al Brewst er and Al Filoreto are battling for the quarterback slot with sophomore John Hamilton looming as a top threat as a sleeper .

In last Saturday's soccer game with Wagner College the Ferrismen's defense sparkled to provide the team with its second consecutive victory and second shutout in as many games. Instrumental in this performance was one Charles "Chuck" Weiss, right fullback and co-captain. Chuck, a junior business major, time and again boomed the ball out of Wilkes territory when t h e Seahawks attempted to break the quick-acting Colonel defense. He played spirited and determin ed soccer in conspiring with his fellow defensemen to hold t he Wagner squad scoreless. As co-captain, with Ted Toluba, Chuck aids in knitting t he team together. A well-conditioned athlete, he always displays a maximum effort both in games and during practice sessions.

It is understandable that Mrs. Namisniak would pick this incident as the highlight of the summer tour that took her and thirty-one other college and high school professors 33,000 miles around the globe. This tour, sponsored under the auspices of the NEA, was open to all professors, on both the college and high school levels, who cared to go. Al t hough the visit with Mrs. N ehr u was th e standout of the tour, many other high points suggested the mselves to Mrs. N amisniak as she thoug ht back over the trip for the benefit of this reporter. She said that she could ne ver forg et standing on th e same road that the Apostl e P aul took to Corinth, the Indian school children who sang 'God Bless America' for the group in English, or the students she encounter ed who cherished the gift of a pencil. To show that the tour was int ended to be more than the travelogue it must have seemed, 1V1rs. Namisniak pointed ou t that the g r oup met th e heads of various educational institutions in every land tha t they visited. In addition, s he pointed out that most of the count ri es visited conduct summer classes and, t hat whenever possible, th e group sat in on these. It is virtually impossible to travel fo r two mont hs and not form any impr essions of the things you have seen. Having vis ited approximately eleven countries, stretching from P ortugal to Japan, Mrs. Namisniak was candid in her appraisal of what she saw and felt. A general ap praisal of the trip is in order for the grouv aia obtam a better overall unaerstanding of the countries it visited. lvus. Namisniak pointed out that the group were nev er treated ungraciously, that they always felt at home, anu that they never encountered any anti-American feeling. r eople were anxious to meet the tour members and always wantea to try out their English. The transportation facilities and the fooa were good, but cotfee was only available in the American embashies; that is the coffee that Amencans are willing to drink. She pomted out that Turkish coffee is strong enough to stand by itself. Although the Lrip md show the group that these countnes have come a long way in developing, there still is much that can be done, not the least of which is a mutual understanding of the problems that fac e us. Through trips like this, in which Americans meet and talk to natives, many mis understandings can be cleared away.

Scholastic Merit Won By Butler, Chapman In Dormitory Contest United Fund Dance Kicks Off 1Dollar-A-Student Drive for $1200 T h e Inter-Dormitory Council, through President Peter Greenburg, recently announced the winners of the Academic Dormitory Trophies for the past spring semester. These trophies are rotating awards presented every semester to the Men's and Women's Dormitories which have achieved the highest scholastic average for the preceding semester. The George Elliot A ward for the Male Dormitory with the highest academic average for the semester was presented to Butler Hall. The Beryl Cole Award for the Female Dormitory with the highest average went to Chapman Hall. The awards have only been in existence since the Fall Semester of 1960 and Chapman Hall has received the award on both presentations. The name of the dormitory receiving the award is inscribed on the trophy and this trophy is displayed in the dormitory for the period held by it. Famous Piano Virtuoso Will Perform at Gym Wednesday Evening Adam Kapuscinski, outstanding piano virtuoso, will appear in Wilkes College Gymnasium on Wednesday evening, October 18, at eight o'clock. Kapuscinski was born in Poland in 1913. His study of music began at the age of six under the tutelage of Alexander Michalowski, a pupil of Franz Liszt. While a student at the Warsaw Conservatory in 1934, he was sent to Vienna by the Polish Government. There, he competed as a composer of Polish Ballet Music, in international competition; he won first prize. When the Germans entered Poland in 19S9, he was made prisoner and was interned in a Nazi concentration camp. Escaping, he fled into East Poland, which shortly afterward was occupied by the Russians. Together with other Polish artists, Kapuscinski was sent to the Soviet Union where he participated in concerts directed by the Soviet Concert Management. When Russia entered the conflict against Germany, he enlisted in the Polish Army. When this army proceeded to Iran, Kapuscinski gave many conce1·ts for the Allied Armed Forces. As the army moved into Italy, he remained, at the Court's insistence, as music teacher to the Imperial Family, and, a ft er hostilities cased, he became an Iranian citizen and taught at Teheran Conservatory. While there, he was awarded the Homayoun Medal, the highest award g iven by the Shah. Kapuscinski came to the United States in August, 1960, encouraged by Arthur Rubinstein whom he had met while in Paris. He has played in New York at Town Hall in 1960 and again in 1961. He has been acclaimed by music critics in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Oslo, and Geneva as a pianist who "shows complete technical mastership and deep understanding." by Barbara Lore The United Fund Dance, sponsored by the freshman class tonight in the gymnasium, will launch this year's student United Fund campaign on campus. Lou Mattioli is general chairman of the affair featuring Bobby Baird and his band, providing both regular dance music and a special jam session. Both Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, and Dr. Charles B. Reif, over-all chairman, express confidence that the student goal of approximately $1200, or one dollar per student, can be easily attained. Dr. Reif recalls that in the past student contributions have reached the $2,000 mark, therefore, he believes that with a spirited effort by the student body, this year's goal can be easily surpassed. To facilitate solicitations, the student body has been divided into three categories, namely: Division A, all commuting students; Division B, all dormitory students; Division C, campus organizations. Because of the large number of students included in Division A, the solicitations will be handled on the basis of two one-week periods. During the first week, beginning tonight and ending next Friday, all contributions will be on an informal basis. At the kickoff dance tonight, a table will be set up as a collecting area, where day students can deposit their dollars. For the rest of this week, collecting stations will be at the Commons. This general solicitation will end next Friday at the compulsory class meetings. During the second week, Saturday, October 20 to Friday, October 27, the solicitations will be conducted differently.

Once again, Wilkes students are being called upon to contribute to the only charity which solicits funds here on campusthe United Fund. A goal of $1200 has been established, a goal which can be met if each individual student contributes just one dollar. Considering the many agencies served by the United Fund and the small sum required of each of us to maintain these services, we as students should take advantage of this opportunity to aid our fellow man. We should also feel a deep pride in contributing through the college, for by so doing, we are also demonstrating to the community our willingness to help in this effort. No doubt there are many students who, in addition to meeting with the campus solicitation, are also asked to contribute at their place of part-time employment. This is understandable, and in his instance, some reason exists for the individual's lack of participation in the campus drive. These individuals must not forget, however, their obligation to their college and some effort should be made here to divide the contribution between the college and the place of employment. Once again, we urge you to share our blessings. Do your part to meet the campus United Fund goal. A Poor Showing Upon scanning the college bulletin board this past week, we were alarmed at the notice declaring the results of the recent ca mpus election. No doubt, those who were elected are worthy of the positions which they are about to fill, as are most of the candidates in such an election. The portion of the· announcement which was most startling was that part which stated the total number of students who actually participated by casting a ballot. Statitstics show that a general feeling of indifference and lack of concern reigned over the student body. These statistics are as follows: sophomore class membersip, 304, those who voted, 102; junior class, 243 members, 101 voting; senior class, membership 212, participants in the election, 59. In terms of percentage, 33 % of the sophomore class voted, 41 % of the junior class turned out, and less than 30 % of the senior class stopped at the polls. The evidence is clear that most students show little concern for the affairs of their class, and in many cases, attend only the compulsory class meetings with little regard for what happens between such meetings. It is time that we began to realize the importance of our obligation to our class and to our fellow students. We as members of a class should have a desire to know what our class is doing as a unit and to have a part in helping it to accomplish its objectives.

Femininity Accentuated By Paris This Fall I WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - �WIUES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 13, 1961 Nurses Take Science Courses To Supplemenl Hospilal Training by Joe Klaips Wilkes College, this year as in the past, is host to student nurses from the local hospitals. These young ladies, 107 in all, represent the Nesbitt, the Wilkes-Barre General, and the Wyoming Valley hospitals. Their program has been planned for them by the student nursing directors at the hospitals, who are working in cooperation with the administration here. Because nursing is a three-year program, these student nurses, unlike students enrolled in a four-year program, will enter their junior year. In their junior year less time will be spent here on campus and more will be devoted to work and instruction in the hospitals. In their senior year, nurses select their major field of sudy, which may be anesthesia, operating room work or one of many other specialties. After completing this year, if they "make the grade," they are awarded a certificate in nursing. Their certificate is a symbol of their three years of hard work, but the story does not end here. Their training completed, the nurses take a State Board of Nurses examination to become licensed as registered professional nurses. After passing this examination many nurses will furth er their education by attending regular college classes for two years to get their Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. As freshm en, the Wilkes student nurses are beginning the process of discovering for themselves the rewarding careers to be found in the fields of nursing. Problems Experienced By Faculty Member Resemble Student Life by Gloria Zaludek Shall we add a new name to the Dean's List ? Dr. Konstantin Symmons, chairman of the sociology departm ent, r eceived an 'A' in a course this summer at the University of Colorado. Under the asupices of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Symmons r eceived a fellowship to the University's summer institute in anthropology. "It was no vacation," he sighed as h e described the intensive summer course given in all fi elds of anthropology. The course was for college teachers who have th eir degrees in fields other than anthropology. When asked what he found most troubl esome in the eighteen class Musicians Announce Society's Schedule For This School Year Alberta Barbini, president of the Young Musicians Society and a junior music major at Wilkes, recently announced the society's program for t he 1961-62 season. The opening of the season was marked with a dinner-dance in September for the members of the society who entered colleges as music majors. The program, including the r egular meetings on the second Sunday of each month is as follows: This Sunday, following the regular meeting, the Young Musicians String Quartette will present a program. On November 12 and December 3, George Pappa-Stavrou will present his Town Hall and New York recitals respectively for the Young Musicians. A motor trip to New York for an afternoon opera performance and in the evening the final concert in a series of five in Carnegie Hall is scheduled for December 10. The first meeting of 1962 on January 14 will be an Opera Workshop directed by Ferdinand Liva. On February 11, Herbert Rogers and George Pappa-Stavrou, concert artists, will direct a Piano Seminar. A two-piano recital by members of the Wilkes College Music Department will be the feature of March 10, and on April 10 a Conducting Workshop will be directed by Ferdinand Liva and William Gasbarro of the Wilkes faculty. On May 8 Mr. Gasbarro will direct woodwind soloists and ensembles, and at a dinner on Jun e 5 new officers of the society will be install ed. The ' first program open to t he public will be presented Saturday evening, October 14, at the Century Club, Scranto~, when the Society will present two of its Young Mu- NEW BOOKS New Books in Library Deal with Science, Education and Military by Maryalice l sganites One of the new books which the Library has added to its collection is The Other Child by Richard Lewis, Alfred Strauss, and Laura Lehtinen. The authors explain what a brain-injured child is, his psychopathology, and what his management and education should be. It may be read with profit not only by parents but by teachers, social workers, and all those who take an interest in children and in the impact of "otherness" on both the affected individual and society. Our male readers are sure to find Gene Lyons' Education and Military Leadership a book worth reading. In this book Mr. Lyons presents a study of the ROTC. H e views this vital problem in the context of the American educational system and concludes that civilian colleges and universities must begin to educate the military as they do for oth er professions. The persistence of war even a mong civilized peoples can be attributed largely to psychological motives which Freud's work enables us to recognize. Alix Strachey, in her book entitled The Unconscious Motives of War, probes some of the less widely understood motives and shows that they spring not merely from the deeper mental levels of the individual as a private person, but from his attitudes of mind as a member of a group - in this case, the state or nation to which he belongs. Those who enjoy seafaring adv entures might try Charles Daugherty's Searchers of the Sea: Pioneers in Oceanography. The reader will accompany such gTeat explorers as Captain Cook, discover the Gulf Stream through Ben Franklin's inquiries on ocean currents, and investigate the ocean bottom in Auguste Piccard's bathyscaphe. s1c1ans: Edward Polochick, nineyear old pianist, and William Barbini, fourteen-year-old violinist. Barbini is concertmaster of the · Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic. Steven Banks will be the accompanist. Admission will be by invitation-ticket obtainable from any of the Young Musicians. Dr. Mui Explains Research Aims Involved in Tea-Drinking Sludy by Lynn Dente 3 Peace Corps Advisor Returns For Tuesday Meelings in Slark A field representative for the Peace Corps, Mrs. Marie Ross, will be on campus all day next Tuesday after 11:30 a.m. to talk to students and faculty members. Meetings have been scheduled for noon in Stark 109 and at 3 p.m. in Stark 306. If these times are inconvenient, alternate ones can be arranged through Mr. Morris' office in Chase Hall, Mrs. Ross' headquarters for the day. Mrs. Ross will be available to answer any questions a student or faculty member may have concerning the Peace Corps, be they personal or general. A talk with her can resolve many of the vague areas concerning the Corps. Science Study Promoted By National Foundation by Alice Bakun To further the progress of science the National Science Foundation plans to award approximately 2,500 graduate and 135 postdoctoral fel lowships for the academic year of 1962-1963. College seniors and faculty interest ed in these fields of study may obtain stipends from the Foundation providing they have the proper qualifications. A wards will be granted only to: 1. United States citizens or nationals or those wh o will be United States citizens or nationals by March 1, 1962. 2. those having demonstrated ability and special aptitude for a d v a n c e d training in the sciences. 3. those who will have been admitted to a graduate school prior to the beginning of the fellowship. Types Graduate fellowships are of three types: 1. First Year Fellowships for those pursuing Master's Degrees. Annual stipend will be $1800. 2. Intermediate Fellowships for those having their Masters' Degrees and pursuing the doctoral degree. Annual stipend will be $2000. 3. Terminal Year Fellowships for t hose who expect to attain the doctoral degree within one year after the beginning of the grant. Annual stipend for this type amounts to $2200. Married candidates will also receive an additional allowance of $500 together with $500 for each dependent child and aid to help defray traveling expenses. Selection Recipients of the awards will be selected on the basis of academic records and recommendations of ability, scores on examinations testing scientific aptitude and achievement, as well as other evidence of potential ability.

I explained the nature of my visit, and before I began to by writing to: The Fellowship Office ask my previously written questions, Dr. Mui explained that National Academy of Sciences although he received his research grant from the Social Science National Research Council Research Council last spring, he and Mrs. Mui began their work 2101 Constitution Ave., N .W. dealing with the Economic and Social Effects of Tea Drinking Washington 25, D.C. Applications must be received by On the British Empire in 1956. Konstantin Symmons hours per week, Dr. Symmons mentioned three problems which may sound vaguely familiar to many students. He said that the hour and a half classes made him realize the difficulty students have in sustained listening. He admitted that objective t ests are trying. And he did not like the vagueness of what was going to be covered on examinations. (continued on page 6) When I asked Dr. Mui to be a little more specific about his subject h e explained that he and his wife questioned the importance of the tea monopoly of the East India Company: how did the monopoly eff ect India, which was under British co ntrol?; who drank the t ea? In answer to these questions Dr. Mui said that the profit of the com pany did contribute to the establishment of the British Empire and the expansion of the company in India. His answer to the second question was surprising in that he stated only the richest and the poorest were the greatest tea drink ers in the late 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The rich considered drinking tea fashionable and the poor couldn't afford any other beverages. Later the gap between the two groups began to close. Tea was also considered a r elaxing beverage in that people took time from work to brew and drink it. When I told Dr. Mui that I had first thought that this project was of a sociological nature, h e explained that he and Mrs. Mui are attempting to combine sociological theories with economic history. The regulation of the tea trade was an integral part of the administration of William Pitt and this problem entailed all types of social customs and ramifications. In answer to my question concerning the grant itself, Dr. Mui explained that the grant allows both he and Mrs. Mui to make one trip a year to study pertinent manuscripts in the Huntingdon Library at San Marino, California and the Harvard Library at Cambridge, Mass. This grant enabled him and Mrs. Mui to complete their work. Now that their research has been completed, the Mui's plan to test their conclusions and analyze their material. Later, they hope to publish the results of this extensive project. the Foundation no later than January 5, 1962. Recipients of t he awards will be announced on March 15, 1962. Postdoctoral Study Postdoctoral fellowsh ips are also being off ered in the same fields. Candidates must have the same g e n e r a I requirements as those working for their graduate degrees, gree or having research training and experience equivalent to such a degree. Application material may be obtained by writing th e Fellow' ship Office at the above address. Along with the above two types, the Foundation is sponsoring fel lowships for science faculty and summer fellowships for secondary sch ool teachers. It is also administering for other agencies NATO postdoctoral science fellowships and OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Senior Visiting Fellowships for study abroad for senior scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Her trip to Wilkes is a part of a nationwide information campaign, conducted by the Peace Corps, to explain the principles of the program and the opportunities available for work throughout the world. Initially, those interested must complete a P eace Corps Questionnaire, obtainable from Mr. Morris. Although it may be possible to take the P eace Corps test without submission of an application, such submission ens ures a place when t h e test is administered. November 28 and 29 are set as the next test dates, at which time they will be given in Wilkes-Barre at the Post Office. The test, itself, takes approximately 5½ hours, starting at 8:30 a .m. The alternate dates are to enable students to take the test at the more convenient t ime. The November test date is especially recommended for seniors who are interested in joining the Peace Corps immediately upon graduation. Notification of acceptance or r ejection of those tested in November will be given by the middle of next March for the program starting next June 15. This will allow enough time for students to make arrangements with any graduate schools they may plan on attending. Details of the test can be obtained next Tuesday. Practically, besides providing an excellent opportunity for work in an overseas country, the Peace Corps offers many advantages. Training received is almost impossible to acquire elsewhere. The two-year tour, including t h e several months training program, provides opportunities for character development and expan sion not available in many other ways. Although the Corpsman will not be living on the highest level, he will not be living on the lowest level of living in the country. This depends entirely on the position held. For example, a teacher in Tanganyika would li ve on the level of a native t eacher, which in that country is quite high. Although no salary is given, several methods of remuneration are possible. Primarily, $75 a month is applied to the Corpsman's account in the United States to be us ed as he wishes. This money, however, may not be used in the country the Corpsman is working in. A government allowance is provided that completely covers all living expenses for the Corpsman from the minute h e is officially a m ember of the Corps until he is released from service. In addition, a 2½ day· leave is provided for every month in the Corps . This leave ca11 be cumulati ve at the regular allowance plus $5 a day and traveling- expenses to encoura ge travel in the country or surrounding areas.

College Misericordia will furnish the opposition for the first field hockey team in the history of Wilkes athletics. by Dale Jones The football team travels to Collegeville tomorrow to take on the Bears of Ursinus College in an effort to pick up their first win of the season. The Colonels will be trying to rid itself of the seemingly inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and to get itself into the win column. Last year the Bears ruined the Wilkes Homecoming with a 14-7 victory. The team works out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the new Wilkes Athletic Field next to Kirby Park at 4 p.m. The team is made up of eleven players and Coach Saracino has not a set lineup thus far. Any girl interested in playing on the team should report to the Kirby Park field on practice days. No experience is n ecessary to play but a firm interest and will to play are the main ingredients for a candidate for the squad. Although the team is not a member of a league this season, Mrs. Saracino has several games scheduled for this year with a league membership set for next season.

Nineteen lettermen wear the red, gold and black uniform this season and have been responding to their schedule like world-beaters. Last week a last minute touchdown gave a strong Johns Hopkins team a 13-7 win over the Bears. The gridders lost their sceond game of the season on Saturday as they bowed to PMC, 7-0. Almost 3,000 people saw a fighting Wilkes squad move the ball well during the entire game but fail to cross the line into scoring land. It was a little bit of luck ·that put the Cadets on the score card as Crate was hit on the four-yard line by a viciou s tackle and fumbled. Cadet fullback Nick Trainer pounced on the ball in the end zone and the game was won. In the second quarter the Colonels threatened when a Gubanich to MacLaughlin pass put the ball on the PMC 15. But the Cadets dug in a nd a field goal attempt by Larry Turel was wide. The third quarter saw Wilkes' ground attack start rolling. With Tom Krisulevicz, Dick Capitan , and John Gardner pulling large chunks of yardag e with driving runs, the drive settled on the Cadet 10. A Gubanich pass was intercepted to halt this drive. In the final period Bill Schwab led the Colonels in their final threat. With Hardy and Krisulevicz eating up yardage the threat reached the eleven.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Shawneeites, Butler Lead 'Touch' Gridders, Russo Leads Indians with Two Touchdowns 'Kris' Cited for Outstanding Game The 12-team intramural touch football leagu e rounded out its first week of play late Thursday afternoon. The games were incomplete at the time of this writing, with the Goremen and Hollenback meeting on W ednesday and the Boozers opposing the Bandits on Thursday. This week the accolade of Beacon Athlete of the Week goes to Tom "The Bomb" Kri sul evicz, senior secondary education ma jor.

Four downs are allowed to reach the center of the field. From there four down s are allowed for a score and points after touchdowns may be scored by passing or rushing. The games are divided into four 15-minute quarters with a sixminute break betwe en halves. Phil Russo, the Indian with Exeter blood, scored twice for the Shawneeites on passes from Pugh. J. P. McAndrews also crossed into scoring land twice with a speedy pair of punt returns to pay dirt. T osh Karmilovich and John T ensa ended the TD spree for the defending champions. Lee Wasileski, a Shawneeite loaned to t h e Tribunals for th e game, scored the lone tally for the losers. In the Dorm league the Butler Hall six sent out early warnings for league contenders with an impressive 34-6 win over the hapless Bennett Hall team. Ed Rogalski led the assault on the frosh dorm with two touchdowns while Joe Kruczek, Ziegler, and Smithson scored a touchdown each. Tom Krisulevicz Next week's schedul e finds the Rockets and Mau-Maus meeting on Monday and Ashley and Barre tangling on Tuesday.

Sharing the spotlight with our gracious Queen are Their Royal Highnesses, Rachel Altavilla and Carol Thomas. THE 1961 HOMECOMING QUEEN IS LEONA A. BAIERA. This announcement, which will bring tears of joy and moments of mixed emotion, to at least one happy senior coed, is the official word. There need be no more speculation. The Princesses will reign with Queen Leona Baiera throughout Homecoming. Car Caravan, Bonfire, Queen's Coronation Lead Homecoming Festivities Princess Rachel Her Royal Highness, Princess Rachel is a senior secondary education major now doing her student teaching in biology at Meyer High School. She has black hair, brown eyes and is five feet, two inches tall. Presently, she is co-captain of the cheerleading squad. Besides being a Cheerleader for three years, she has been in the Biology and Education Clubs, on the class executive council, and a member of the planning committee for Associated Women Students. Princess Rachel combines beauty with brains. She is a Dean's List student, and has worked as a waitress at Pocono Manor Inn for several summers. QUEEN LEONA Last year Princess Rachel attended the science conference at Syracuse University. She also took part in the Theta Delta Rho - Lettermen's Club Fashion Show. A graduate of Hanover Township High School, Princess Rachel is a m ember of Holy Rosary Church, Park Avenue. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Altavilla, 57 East Liberty Street, Ashley. Her future will be in either public school teaching or graduate study. Princess Carol Her Royal Highness, the Princess Carol Thomas qualifies as a member of the Royal Court because of her beauty, personality, and contributions to campus life.

Her taste in clothes is attested to by the fact that she has appeared in several Lettermen's Club fashion shows and was one of the ten Best Dressed Coeds on campus last year. In her four years at Wilkes Princess Carol has been a perennial leader. As a sophomore, and again as a junior, h er Royal Highness was a Student Government representative.

Lee, as she is known to her friends , is a charming brown-haired beauty with flashing hazel eyes. A winning smile, a most pleasing personality, and an effervescent spirit are the virtues that characterize our attractive Homecoming Queen. A torchlight parade, a bonfire, and a car caravan are being planned by the School Spirit Committee in conjunction w i t h Homecoming Week end. The torch parade will leave Stark Hall tonight at 7 p.m. and will proceed to Kirby Park, site of the bonfire. The bonfire is slated to begin at 7 :30 p.m. J erry Shilanski, chairman of School Spirit, will act as master of ceremonies at the Bonfire. In this capacity, he will introduce the Homecoming queen and her attendants, the football and soccer teams, the cheerleaders, Kickline, Majorettes, the Collegians, and the Wilkes Colonel, Don Ungemah. Shilanski has announced that a surprise will be unveiled at the bonfire. A sound unit, courtesy of N ardy's and lighting from the 109th Field Artillery unit will also be in use at the bonfire. The car caravan to the Lycoming game will leave from the Chase Hall parking lot on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Homecoming queen and her attendants and Dr. Eugene S. Farley will be the honored guests of the caravan. The honor court will have a military escort. As an added feature to this year's car caravan, the Kickline will be transported to the game in a convertible bus donated by the WilkesBarre Transit Corporation. The School Spirit Committee will award a trophy to the best decorated car in the caravan. Elaine Koz emchak is in charge of decorating the football field. Anyone interested in assisting this committee is asked to report to Kirby Park on Saturday at 12 :30 p.m. She is an elementary education major who loves children and plans to t each in the primary grades upon graduation. Her long range plans are indefinite but graduate study and marriage are her aims. Senior Gift Committee Requests Suggestions Most of her summers have been spent working at various jobs. She has worked as a waitress at Atlantic City, N.J., as salesgirl in a local women's apparel shop, and last summer she obtained an emergency teaching certificate to work as a playground instructor for the West Pittston School Board. Queen Lee and her court will reign over all the a ctivities planned for the Fourteenth Annual Homecoming. Her regal role begins with the publication of this article; perhaps you will know the answer to t he big secret even before her royal highness sees the Beacon. A senior class gift committee under the chairmanship of Mary Ann Foley was selected at a r ecent meeting of the class executive council. The committee is requesting that all suggestions for a class m emorial gift be placed in one of the suggestion boxes which will be located at strategic points on campus starting Monday. The class memorial fund will contain an estimated $1400 at the close of the academic year and students are asked to keep this in mind. Deadline for suggestions is Dec. 1. Committee members assisting Miss Foley are Dave Edwards, Mimi VasKorlis, Louise Gatto, Marion Ripple, and Wayne Thomas. Queen Lee, who came to Wilkes as a freshman in 1958, has been an active participant in various extracurricular activities. She is presently serving as a Student Government representative for t he class of '62. She is publicity chairman of this organization and she served as chairman of the "Come and Meet Us" dance during the freshman orientation this year. She is a Beacon reporter, a member of the Education Club, the National Education Association, the Pennsylvania State Education Association, and she has served as publicity chairman and Treasurer of Theta Delta Rho. Last year she was selected as one of the "Ten Best Dressed Coeds" on campus. Her outside interests center a round the Fine Arts.

During her senior year she was chosen Valentine Queen. She will make her first public ap pearan ce tonight in the Torchlig ht Parade to the Bonfire and P ep Rally, where she will be formally introduced to the student body. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITOlUALS- The Changing Campus Scene The alumni returning to campus this weekend are seeing two new additions in the form of recently acquired buildings. Howarth Hall, a women's dormitory on South Franklin Street and Bennett Hall, a men's dormitory on South River Street were opened to students at the beginning of this semester. Many changes have altered the appearance of the college since its founding. Many of these changes h ave taken place in the last several years and have been occuring at a rapid rate. The expansion shown by the college is seen not only in the acquisition of new buildings, but may be seen also in the enlargement of its staff, the addition of new courses, and the many intangible things which help to make a college great. Returning alumni are urged this w eekend to tour the campus. More than this, however, they are asked not merely to look at the many worthwhile displays, but also to observe the m a n y improvements which have brightened the college outlook during the past year. We as members of the Wilkes College student body and as alumni must be thankful to all who have helped to bring this about. We can truly say as a college that we a re able "to look onward with courage and backward with pride." A Job Well Done th A reminder that the campus United Fund Drive is now under way and your support is needed is in order at this time. With one week behind us and one week remaining in which to reach the goal, all those who have not done so as yet are urged to make their contributions as soon as possible. Remember, the efforts of the campus chairmen and volunteer workers will all be in vain if each and every one of us does not do his share to help out. Help the college to reach its goal of $1200 in the comin g week. It was recently called to my at- t ention by a local political party headquarters that Wilkes College is the only college in Luzern e County which does not have a campus political party. At other colleges these political parties fun ction in co-ordination with the local political organizations in their area. The campus part ies sponsor rallies, solicit for the party, and engage in oth er useful and civic activities. It would be a worthwhile project and invaluable service to the college as well as the community, if the students at Wilkes would organize such groups. First of all, campus parties would acquaint the college student with the innerworkings of the American political parties. Secondly, it would make t he college student more aware of n ational and intern ational issues. Finally, campus parties would help to facilitate students in electing h onest and qualified officeholders. Thus, t his would make America a stron ger and better country.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - STUDENT SKETCH Letter to e F.ditor • · • Senior After weeks of waiting and preparation, Homecoming Weekend is at last upon us. The identity of this year's Homecoming Queen has been revealed, the decorations are in their final stages of construction, and the best part of the entire program lies just around the corner. Homecoming provides all of us with an excellent opportunity to greet old friends and to enjoy the social side of college life. Surely at this time, gratitude must be extended to all hose who have helped to bring about this weekend of activities. The many hours of planning and preparation put into the Homecoming by students, faculty, alumni, administration, and community volunteers alike typifies the spirit felt by these people for the college. To all of these goes our thanks for a job well TRES CHIC done. A Reminder Friday, October 20, 1961 Accounling Major Aclive In College and Community Affairs by J erome Krasa An old adage holds that to have a job well done, you should give it to a busy man. This is certainly true of Clyde Roberts, who in his years at Wilkes has been active in both college and community affairs. It is easy to see why Clyde, a remarkable personality and a sharp wit, has been able to successfully combine college work with the great many extracurricular activities in which he participates. He brings to his seemingly easy going ways a determination to get a job done once he starts it. One sign of the drive that makes Clyde seek perfection is his present position as president of t h e Wilkes Chapter of Jaycees. In addit ion , he is t h e treasurer and a charter member of t he Accounting Club. A lover of sports, Clyde is playing soccer for the fourth year at Wilkes, presently at the center for ward posit ion. He commented that he had never played soccer before coming to W ilkes and t hat h e found the sport great. He has been a Letterman for the past two years. Active in community affairs, h e is superintendent of the F irst Welsh Presbyterian Sunday School in Edwardsville. His love of sports also carries over into his activities in the community. For the past two years, he has been a member of the Wyoming Valley Banker s' Bowling League.

Tomalis Econ Club Head His past work experience is varied. For the past two summers, he has worked as a nigh t auditor at Bushkill Falls. Demonstrating that he can put his knowledge to practical application, Clyde is presently a lab instructor in the Accounting Department. He noted that the Acco unting Department at Wilkes is very good. At the regular meeting of the Economics Club h eld t his past Tuesday, Tom Tomalis, junior business major, was elected to the post of vice-president, a position which was left vacant by t he resignation of the former vice-president. It has been announced that the membership will be h eld open one more week, until the m eeting on Tuesday, October 24. This will be a very important meeting sin ce details of the forthcoming field trip will be di scussed. Flyers concerning further details will be distr ibuted. In talking about Wilkes in general, Clyde pointed out that t he college was providing a great service for, not only him and his fellow students, but the community as a whole. "Wilkes is right for the community," he added.

The profit realized from the freshmansponsored dance held last Friday evening in the gym was $145. Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, states that he has received only a little over $100 from the students. As can be seen from the above figures, support for the drive seems to be lacking among students. The $1200 student goal may still be asily achieved if each student will spare one dollar as requested. The money collected will be used to sustain fifty-two health and welfare agencies throughout the Valley. Dr. Charles Reif, campus chairman of the drive, has announced that as of Tuesday morning approximately $4500 has been collected from faculty members, the administration, and the mainteance staff. In the week ahead representatives of each class will contact by phone all those who have not already contributed. Chairmen of these solicitations include Jerry Krasa, senior class; Jeanette Bucholtz, junior class; Mimi Wilson, sop homore class; and Mike Mosteller, freshman class. Contributions of the dormitory students are being handled by Peter Greenberg, president of the InterDormitory Council, with the aid of the respective dorm president. This year's theme for the United Fund drive is "Be a people helper." Down-East University Scraps Tradition to Revitalize Education Durham, N.H. (LP.) - Entitled "The University and the Future", the 120-page report relea sed by a six-member Committee on Academic Programs and Teaching Methods at the University of New Hampshire highlights these conclusions: 1. The University may be obliged to abandon its traditional twosemester academic year in favor of a three-semester or quarterly calendar. Eith er system will require 12-month operation. 2. Undergraduate courses are too narrow in scope. Education should come in "larger packa ges" to eliminate duplication, small classes, and proliferation of courses. 3. Professional programs are too narrow. The report urges that every student from English major to electrical engineer should attend a required series of liberal arts courses and follow a mandatory "great books" program of outside reading. "Its unique feature ," says Dr. Allan A. Kuusisto, professor of Government, who chaired the committee's study, "is that it was faculty sponsored and faculty conducted. Similar studies have been conducted at other colleges, but in most cases the administration played the lion's role if not the exclusive role." The study was proposed by the Faculty Council and the University Sen ate Curriculum Committee. President Eldon L. J ohnson named six faculty members to the task. Three of the professors were relieved from their teaching duties; the others worked with the committee on a half-time basis. They were given a budget of $18,000 and the authority to call in outside consultants. The professors went to work with tape measures, questionnaires, and a cold eye for tradition. Their report gave low marks to the University's approach to liberal education, a goal they found to be overshadowed in all three colleges by an emphasis on professional undergraduate training. They urged that every student should take a year's work in English, history, science, social studies, and the humanities, in addition to a four-year independent reading program. "Remedial courses in English and mathematics should be gi ven in the summer prior to entrance," the report noted, and fa- Dr. and Mrs. Farley to Be Honored at AWS Affair Associated Women Students will sponsor a breakfast in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Farley on November 11 at 9 a.m. in Hotel Sterling. Tickets will be available to all students, faculty members, administrators, and office personnel of the college for two dollars. Cynthia Hagley, president pro tern of the organization, announced that the next meeting date is Tuesday at 12:15 in Pickering 203. At this time the group will examine the new women's lounge in Pickering, decide upon a constitution for the organization, and discuss future projects. Tickets for the breakfast will also be distributed to the membership. Discussion of Dr. Dorothy J . Lipp's interview will be held at this time. Dr. Lipp, Dean, Pennsylvania State University, held an informal information session with a committee of A.W.S. members when she was on campus r ecently. The constitution committee appointed at last year's special women's assembly, and the women who talked with Dr. Lipp, are urged to attend Tuesday's meeting. All coeds from every class are in vited to attend. Accountants List Speaker University of Delaware Parking Rules Sparked By Increased Enrollment Dean of _Stu~ents John E. Hocutt ofttl~e dUmversityfof Dthelawua:e ha_s ou me reasons or e mvers1ty's policies with respect to studentoperated motor vehicles. Beginning with the 1961-62 academic year, only commuters will be eligible to operate motor vehicles on campus and in the city. With greatly increased enrollments forecast for the next decade, land which the University now owns or will purchase must be used for academic buildings or dormitories. Recent bids submitted on parking areas and driveways call for an expenditure of approximately $235 per car accomodated. These figures include only grading and surfacing and do not include the much greater cost of the land itself or the building of high-rise parking fac ilities. "When funds for basic educational programs and faculty salaries already are so difficult to obtain, we believe it would be unwise, indeed, to invest such large amounts in parking lots," Dean Hocutt added. Many other colleges and universities, especially those in small communities, already have a policy similar to that which the University has initiated. Under the provisions of the Student Motor Vehicle Code, students who commute daily from their homes and who live at such distances from the campus that travel by automobile is necessary will be given priority. Special permits also will be made available by the Dean of Student's staff to resident students who have a physical disability which makes travel by automobile necessary. While these regulations have been enacted as a solution to financial and parking problems, there also are important educational advantages to be realized. As has been true on other campuses where automobiles have been restricted, academic performance has uniformly improved. Moreover, social, cultural, and intellectual programs, specially on weekends, have shown similar and not unrelated improvement. Studies at other universities have shown an inverse relationship between high academic performance and the operation of a motor vehicle on campus by undergraduate students. On Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Room 35 of Parrish Hall, Mr. Clerio P in, a graduat e of Scranton University and a Supervisory Auditor of the United States General Accounting Office, will speak to the Accounting Club and all interested persons.

Univ. of Washington to Meet Teacher Demand Under Foundation Grant An excellent program whose purpose is to increase the supply of t eachers in colleges and universities has been initiated by the University of Washington in cooperation with other institutions of higher education in the Pacific Northwest. The other schools participating in the program: Western, Central and Eastern Colleges of Education; Gonzaga University and Whitman College. The Cooperative Program of Education for College and University Teaching, as it is known, was made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation, and seeks to encourage superior undergraduates in the participating institutions to proceed to graduate study in their chosen fields. Since the purpose of the program is to meet an increasing demand for college and university teachers, its emphasis is in the area of the Arts and Sciences, and in particular, in the fields of chemistry, English, history, languages, mathematics, and physics. However, exceptional students in other major fields will also be considered for selection. The program is designed to extend over a period of three years, commencing with the student's junior year and following through to the completion of the first year of graduate work at the University of Washington. Most of the students in the program would be able to earn a Master's degree by the end of their first year of graduate work. Each undergraduate selected for the program will be awarded a pre. graduate assistantship, and will work under the direction of a professor in his chosen field. The professor will use the services of the assistant in such a way that the work done is of positive assistance to the professor in the dis charge of his duties in teaching and research, and, at the same time, gives the assistant some instruction and experience in college and university activities. In addition, a pre-graduate counselor at each institution will advise the student concerning his general program of studies, while coordinators from the University of Washington representing each of the major departments involved in the program, will be available for consultation concerning the student's program as it relates to his plans for graduate study. The Warner Trio, specialists of vocal music, will provide special entertainment. The group is comprised of George Evancho, sophomore ; Ronald Borick, junior; and Robert King, senior. The group has appeared professionally in many local night spots. Art Club Sets Plans for New York Trip, Exhibits by Mary Frances Barone The Art Club has planned an overnight trip to New York on November 4 and 5. The members will see the Metropolitan Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Frick collection. The cost of the trip is ten dollars. A five dollar deposit is requested before October 28 and the balance is to be paid by October 28 to Michael Stretanski. There are still a few seats available and reservations can be made by contacting any member of the Art Club. The Art Club will hold its first demonstration of the year on Tuesday, October 24 at 12 :00 till 1 :00 p.m. at Conyngham Annex. There will be a discussion on materials, preparing the surface, and stretching paper. The demonstration will be given by Ed Kay, a senior art major. Long range plans are being made for the annual events, the Art Fair and the Artists and Models Ball. Four hundred people attended the Art Fair last year. Plans for the fair include some displays repeated from last year and new ideas are being worked on. The fair has been expanded to two days. The fair will be climaxed by the Artists and Models Ball which is a "costume only" affair with prizes. It is similar to the annual Artists and Models Ball of New York. At present, the Art Club is making a sign for the United Fund campaign. Mike Crush, a member of the group, is making a sign for Conyngham Annex for indentification purposes. In late November, the Club will show five films fr ee to all students. The subjects of the film are of a "How to" nature concerning arts and crafts. Bob Hrynkiw is in charge of the films. In this way the student will be able to acquire a sound liberal education, and at the same time, meet, well in advance, the specific requirements for admission to a graduate school. �4 WI.LKIS COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 29, 1961 Warriors Are Homecoming Opponents ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Tackle Brunza's Jarring Defense Earns Him "Beacon" Laurels This issue's Athlete of the Week award goes to James "Jungle Jim" Brunza, senior Secondary Education major.

This year the coeds will add a new chapter to the sports history of Wilkes College by fielding a field hockey squad. In past years the ' girls have been hampered by the lack of a sufficient playing field, but with the athletic plant becoming a reality a hockey field was set up. For the past three weeks the girls have been working out under the direction of their coach, Mrs. Doris Saracino. The team has been actively developing individual t echniques and skills while improving team play. An away clash with College Misericordia on Tuesday initiates the season for the Colonel coeds. Additional matches with G.A.R. and Misericordia will be staged throughout October. Headquarters for WILKES JACKETS Lettered LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E. Market St. - Wilkes-Barre - and Narrows Shopping Center Kmgaton - Edwardsville Colonels Meet Lycoming Tomorrow; Try for Initial Season Victory by Dale Jones Lycoming College will provide the competition for the football team in the 14th annual Homecoming program tomorrow afternoon. Kickoff time is listed for 2 p.m. at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. The Colonels will be out for their first win of the season in an effort to get themselves out of last place of the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last weekend the Wilkesmen dropped their third · consecutive one-touchdown game when the Ursinus Bears thundered back for two last quarter scores for a 12-6 win. Last weekend the Warriors of Lycoming tied a fighting Drexel Tech squad, 6-6, and showed a crashing forward wall that kept the Dragon offense at bay for most of the afternoon. With the Colonels featuring a rock-like line, a great game of line play is expected. Of particular interest will be the duel between the Kingston ends. The Blue and Gold feature three former Huskies at the wing posts with Richard Rees, Larry Turel, and Rog er MacLaughlin, while the Warriors have Bill Ainsworth working from the right end slot. Ainsworth is a junior at the Williamsport college and has started as a wingman for the past three seasons. Another local product playing end for the Lycomingmen is Wes Evans, a freshman from Dallas, who will spell Ainsworth from time to time. Ursinus 12, Wilkes 6 Last S a t u r d a y the Colonels seemed on their way in ending the victory drought that has hung over them when a sophomore quarterback named Ray Emert unleashed an aerial barrage that sank the Colonel hopes. Both teams were scoreless until the final period. With Ursinus on their own five, Emert was hit by a vicious tackle by Jim Brunza and fumbled . Colonel guard J erry Mohn recovered the loose pigskin in the end zone for a Wilkes touchdown. With time running out and a Parents Day crowd screaming for a comeback the Bears took to the airlanes. Emert hit his ends with short button-hook passes to chew up yardage before throwing a 10-yard scoring pass to Dave Khor. The drive covered 73 yards. After the kickoff the Colonels fumbled the slippery ball and the Bears took possession on their own forty-five. Emert went into action again and once again sent the Bears into scoring land with a pass. In the two drives Emert hit on nine passes for a total of 98 yards. Once again the Colonels outrushed their opponents, 127 yards to 101, but the Colonels could only collect seven yards on passes. Penalty-wise the Colonels collected a whop ping 98 yards as compared to 15 against the home club. Tom Kri sule vicz was the top groundgainer for Wilkes, picking up 48 yards.

The Hofstra team app ears to have the same fine offense it displayed last year. The only common opponent of the Ferrismen and Hofstra thus far has been Wagner College, who lost to Hofstra, 6-0, and to t he Colonels, 3-0. Last Saturday the soccer team journeyed to Gettysburg, only to drop a hard-played 5-2 match to the Bullets in the rain and cold wind. The home team's offense was spearheaded by the combination of Taylor and Johnson. Taylor collected four assists and a 13core, as Johnson accounted for three tallies.

Again in this game, the Wilkes offense failed to materialize to any great extent, as difficulties arose in moving the ball past the eighteen yard circle. The defensive secondary, with a few notable exceptions, played its usual strong game. Rider 2, Wilkes 0 This past Wednesday, the soccer team lost to a fast, strong Rider College eleven, 2-0, in a well-played game. Rider goals were scored by Sam Farrante, in the first period, and Henry Glover, in the second. Farrante, a center halfback, played an excellent match against Coach Ferris' charges. He was nominated to t he All-American squad last year and should repeat this season. The game, which was played in favorable weather conditions for a change, saw the Wilkes eleven put forth a determined effort against the h ighly regarded Rider team. Fine play by the entire squad prevented the visitors from running up the score as they had in last year'.s contest. That game was a 14-0 humiliation of the Colonels. Frank Lepore, Chuck Weiss, and Tom Tomalis gained nominations to the ECAC All-East team as a result of their play in the Rider match. •*********************** TONY'S S.

STUDENT WEEKLY Vol. XXVI, No. 6 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKF.S-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA lnler-Pormilory Council Drive To Aid Foreig~ Student The Inter-Dormitory Council is sponsoring a clothing drive in connection with the Save the Children Federation. One of the facets of this organization is selecting needy children from abroad for sponsorship by individuals and organizations all over the world. From this federation, the I.D.C. received the name of Polyzoes O. Marrommatis, a child from Athens, Greece, whom they "adopted" last spring. "Zoes", as he is called for short, is the obj ect of this particular cldthing drive · which will be held for a two week period. This twelve year old boy can use clothes of any kind with particular emphasis on shoes, socks, shirts, and trousers. His sizes are: shoes, 6; socks, 9; shirt, 14; trouser waist, 24 inches; trouser length, 24 inches. The clothing will be collected at the Bookstore. Any other size of clothing will be forwarded to the federatfon for use by other children. Collecting the clothes now will insure its arrival at Athens before Christmas. School supplies are also acceptable. All members of the student body are inviJted to participate in this project. As for Zoes, a· future generation of Wilkes s'tudents will probably know him personally. Dr. Farley has agreed to award a full-tuition scholarship including room and board to Zoes when he reaches college age. Nancy Pala~zolo is chairman of the drive and is assisted by Carol Thomas. These coeds are ready to answer any questions on Zoes and his background. The !Il!ter-Dormitory Council has appointed a committee to develop a list of suggested changes in women's dormitory hours. This liSlt will be presented to the Administrative Council for approval at their November 7 meeting. Code Classes Conducted By Amateur Radio Club; Open House Planned The Radio Club has announced an active membership of approximately thirty with Dr. Daniel Detwiler as ·its faculty advisor. The club, localted on foe first floor of Pickering Hall, owns four high)owered receivers, two transmitters md a variable frequency oscillator, .vhich enables t he club to operate ;wenty-four hours a day. The club has contacted radio enthusiasts in distant places such as A.rizona, Florida, Nova Scoltia, and Quebec. The members are all capable of operalting and maintaining the complicated apparatus. Dick Emmel, president of the club, informed the Beacon t hat the Radio Club will hold an open house on the first Friday in December for all interested in observing the radios in action. Funthermore, the club will hold code classes for inlterested students who wish to obtain their ham licenses. These classes will be held on Thursdays, with t heory classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at noon in Pickering.

Calendar Committee Cases Occupy Time Of Student Meeting Due rto the problems facing the Calendar Committee, Al Kishel, president of the Student Government, dispensed with the agenda Monday night and undertook to settle issues facing the Calendar Committee. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1961 Dr. Eugene Farley lo Be Honored On Twenty-fifth Anniversary by Mary DiGiuseppe and Barbara Lore "Twenty-five years ago - on April 1, 1936, to be exact - Dr. Eugene S.

After lengthy debate given by Joe Shambe, president of the senior class, and Jim Jones, president of the sophomore class, a motion made to grant the senior class the date was defeated.

We must be constantly aware of the fact that we are Wilkes College students and will be recognized as such no matter where we may be. The reputation gained by the college is one which is developed not only by members of the administration or faculty, but also by members of the student body. The actions of a group of students are immediately attributed to the college and to the student body in general. For this reason, we must constantly be aware of our responsibiliy and conduct ourselves in a manner which will bring respect and dignity rather than contribute to a poor reputation for the college. We are all aware of the tremendous growth manifested by Wilkes since its comparatively recent beginning. We should also be aware that if this growth is to continue, we must maintain the high standard of conduct set by our predecessors. Another phase of our responsibility to the college may be titled our responsibility toward maintaining school spirit. Parallel to the academic growth of the college has been a growth in the area of student activities. If our activity program is to grow and to prosper, we must also realize our responsibility to our fellow students and to campus organizations. We should all be possessed with a sense of loyalty and obligation to the school which will encourage us to join in its activities. We should at least own a sense of loyalty which will not permit us to in any way oppose or threaten to defeat anything which is affiliated with our college. Remember, we are all recognized as Wilkes College students. The college is what we make it. Let's do our part to maintain the good reputation gained by it in the past. Dear Editor: The following is the text of a letter which I.D.C. received from St. Stanislaus Institute upon their receipt of 150 toys, donated by the Class of '65 during the orientation program. We as members of the I.D.C. would like to thank again the freshman class for donating these toys for such a worthwhile cause. Nancy Palazzolo J erry Berk "Your recent visit to Saint Stanislaus was indeed gratifying. Due to unavoidable circumstances, I failed to meet you; but, whenever you are in our area please stop in and I shall be happy to reciprocate. "The youngsters' joy far surpassed mine when they were presented with your varied selection of lovely toys, and you can't imagine how elated they were. "You can never fully realize, my dear friends, how much your thoughtfulness means to us here. Our burden is heavy - but it is consoling to know that we are not alone. Through the generosity of kind friends like you, the burden is surely minimized. "Only the Good Lord can reward this noble gesture on your part. Please be assured of a remembrance in our prayers. "In behalf of all the youngters our sincerest gratitude, and may God bless you - one and all! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Roman L. Gizara President and Director * * * Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who gave of their time and effort to make this year's Homecoming and Bonfire a success. There were many students, too numerous to mention, who worked untiringly on decorations, the torchlight parade, the car caravan, and the bonfire arrangements. A special word of appreciation goes to a number of local citizens who generously donated their services to the college. In particular, I would like to thank the WilkesBarre Transit Company for providing their convertible bus for the car caravan; the 109th Field Artillery for the lights and power unit used at the bonfire; Nardy's Sound Service for the public address system; and the Wilkes-Barre Police, Fire, and Park Departments for their assistance and cooperation. Sincerely yours, Jerry Shilanski School Spirit Committee United Fund Help Needed At the conclusion of two weeks, · the student phase of the campus United Fund drive has still not reached its goal of $1200. The drive has been extended one more week to enable those who have been unable to give during the past two weeks to do so in the coming week. The individual class chairmen began making personal contacts several days ago and will continue this program through next week. All students are urged to respond to this effort and to aid those less fortunate. Student Government Lauded The quick thinking and fast action carried out by the Student Government members last Saturday evening at the Homecoming dinner-dance which that group sponsored was certainly a credit to that organization. Hampered by a series of setbacks in the program which had been established for the evening, the Student Government was still able to make that affair a success. The crowd which attended was exceptionally large and approximately one hundred persons were in attendance who had not purchased tickets in advance. This meant that the sponsoring group had to make last minute provision for these people. Dean George Ralston, Mr. Robert Morris, and the members of Student Government are to be commended for a job well done, despite the unforeseen obstacles in the path of success.

Repose is one of a woman's most attractive qualities. Not by any means to be confused with lack of animation. Some of the world's busiest women have repose. You can, if you eliminate erratic, nervous motion; a pounding or jerky walk; chairedge perching; rushing at projects, people, street crossings; a shrill, high voice; jewelry that jangles forcibly; h eels that clatter; clothes that need constant adjusting. Repose possessed is very fine for the possessor. She is not likely to have taut nerves or an uneasy digestion or searing headaches. She is not likely to be told by her doctor that she must relax. year. The exub erance and attendance at the bonfire on Friday night can be attributed to the efforts of Jerry Shilanski and the preparation of all campus organizations. The spirit at the game on Saturday showed that School Spirit, the cheerleaders, the band, the kickline, and the twirling squad had effectively represented Wilkes. The Undergraduate DinnerDance under the direction of Ed Rogalski was a huge success as was the Alumni Dance in the Dorian Room at the Host Motel. I would like to ext end a special thanks to Fred Smithson, Homecoming chairman, for the superb job in organizing the activities, and to Wayne Thomas and the Beacon staff for their warm s u p p o rt throughout the weekend. I was proud to play a part in Homecoming Weekend this year, and I will cherish the memory of it for many years to come. Sincerely, Leona A. Baiera The Freudian Ethic is an analysis of the changing psychology of the American Pf Ople by Richard La Piere. This bdok shows how and why Americans may be losing the very qualities that until now have made our society dynamic.

ART CLUB TRIP POSTPONED The scheduled Art Club trip for November 4 and 5 to New York City has been postponed. The club will decide on another date in the near future, possibly a weekend in December. The new date will be announced in the Beacon. "Freud, Football And Marching Virgins" Subject of Article How would football have looked to the late Dr. Sigmund Freud? What the father of psychoanalysis might have said is presented in "Freud, Football and the Marching Virgins," a November Reader's Digest article by Thomas Hornsby Ferri!, Denver poet-editor-publicist. "Obviously," he writes, "football is a syndrome of religious rites symbolizing the struggle to preserve the egg of life through the rigors of impending winter. The rites begin at the autumnal equinox and culminate on the first day of the New Year with great festivals identified with bowls of plenty; the festivals are associated with fl owers such as roses, fruits such as oranges, farm crops such as cotton. and even sun worship and appease: ment of great reptiles such as alligators .. . "The egg of life is symbolizec by what is called 'the oval,' an inflated bladder. The convention i~ rep eated in the architectural ovalshaped design of the vast outdoor churches in which the services are held. . . . Literally millions attend .. .. in anticipation of violent masochism and sadism about to be enacted by a highly trained priesthood of young men .. . "The ceremony begins with colorful processions of musicians and semi-nude virgins who move in and out of ritualized patterns. This excites the worshippers to rise from their seats, shout frenzied poetry in unison and chant ecstatic anthems." Dr. Freud's only visit to the United States was to lecture at Clark University, Worcester, Mass., as part of the school's 20th anniversary celebration in September of 1909. He also visited New Haven, Boston, and Niagara Falls and saw New York's Chinatown, Central Park and Metropolitan Museum, but nobody took him to a football game. �Friday.

Mr. William Denion was speaking in his capacity as manager of the college cafeteria. Graduated from Penn State in 1951 with a B.S. in hotel and restaurant administration, Mr. Denion is beginning his fourth year here as cafeteria manager and head of a staff of seventeen full time and twenty student employees. It is interesting to note that he is not actually an employee of the college, but rather that he works for M. W. Wood, Inc., the catering service in Allentown which is hired by the college to manage its food service. Denion is responsible for the planning of both daily menus and special dinners. For last year's Christmas dinner, for example, he began one week in advance by purchasing the food and scheduling its preparation. H e plans on one and a half times normal consumption for such an affair, which means that at that Cornish game hen dinn er "everyone got a bird." Items that can be pre-prepared are started days in advance by the entire staff of cafeteria employees. One of the difficulties which food services for schools and industries face, as Denion said, is the fact that "we are always compared to mother." Obviously the food can never quite r each this ideal, yet if mother tried to do the job which he and his staff must do she would probably find it an impossible task. How, for instance, would she supervise the preparation of three hundred pounds of turkey for this year's Thanksgiving dinner? Prior to his coming to the college, Denion was manager of the Tavern Restaurant at State College for three years . He was assistant dir ector of restaurant operations for the Williamsburg Restoration of Williamsburg, Va. and food manager at Syracuse University. ............... , Let the studious ones take the grade, the rest of us will take the maids.

No. 7 by David Stout A display of over 130 woodcuts by Stefan Mrozewski, one of the world's leading wood block engravers, will last until next Friday in the Polish Room of Parrish Hall. These prints have been loaned for display by the artist himself. Mrozewski has exhibited throughout Europe and America for more than 30 years and has won innumerable prizes and awards in over 15 countries. His works on display here cover a wide range of Polish lore and classical subjects. The majority are black and white, but there are several tinted works. Of them all, the artist's favorite is "Apocalipse." The furniture in the Polish Room◊ ------------was designed by Mrozewski and made by Stefan Hellersperk of Dallas, Pennsylvania. The exhibit is free and open to the students and the public from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Mrozewski was born in 1894 in Poland and was educated there.

What will the effects of the "population explosion" be? What images of America do t he people of Asia have? The above are some of the topics Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, chairman of the Philosophy and Religion Department, will discuss this Thursday at the student assembly. Dr. Vujica has spent the past school year in Asia as a Fulbright research scholar to Pakistan and will speak on some of his experiences there. Dr. Vujica feels that without much fanfare, without slogans, banners, or barricades, one of t he greatest revolutions in history is taking place in Asia right now because of the introduction of Western technology and science. Dr. Vujica will note in his speech some of the effects of that revolution on the physical and spiritual landscape of Asia. Novices See Debates At Lehigh Clinament by Julie Evans On October 28, Miss Lynne Dente and J erry Krasa, varsity members of the Debate Team, accompanied nine novice members to Lehigh University to participate in a program set up to acquaint novice debaters with the fundamentals of debating. In the morning, a panel of three debate coaches discussed debate strategy. Following the panel discussion, a debate t eam from Lehigh met a t eam from St. Joseph's College and gave a model debate on a national college debate topic. In the afternoon, a novice team from Wilkes, composed of Miss Pauline Bostjancic, Andy Majikas, John Campbell, and Miss Marguerite Gelli, participated in two rounds of debate. The observers were Norman Strojny, Miss Mary Ann Berger, Terry Lord, James Saunders, and William Holmes, who are novice debaters for Wilkes. Another order of business was the suggested changes of weekend hours for women dormitory students. The following suggestions will be presented to the Administrative Council: for all big weekends such as Homecoming, Spring, and those having formal and semiformal dances, 1 a.m. on Friday, and 2 a.m. on Saturday; on r egular weekends, a 12 :30 a.m. curfew in place of midnight and a 1 :30 curfew in place of a 1 a.m. Student Government has listed several weekends in the college year which have no regular dances scheduled. These weekends are open to any dormitory or dormitories that would like to sponsor dormitory parties for all students. Tonight the I.D.C. is sponsoring a dance for the purpose of dancing. They have obtained the services of Jack Melton for dancing music, and plan to sell pizza plus the usual beverages. Prizes will be awarded to persons who best represent the theme of "Mad Hatter Hop". All who attend the dance are encouraged to wear their craziest chapeaux. Joseph Lipinski is general chairman of the dance and is assisted by Vicki Bershad, Merle Benish, Philip Seigel, Steve Pankan, and Linda Paonessa. Pete Greenberg will give a demonstration of picking up coke bottles at midnight.

STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COIJ.EGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Internationally Noted Arlisl Presents Wood Cul Exhibition COLONELS AT HOME Coward's "Blithe Spirit" Rescheduled by Campus Theater Group by Mary DiGiuseppe Cue 'n' Curtain will produce "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward, in Chase Theater on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Novem ber 15, 16, 17, and 18. Alfred S. Groh is the director. Andrew Palencar and Jerry Herman will handle stage arrangements. Although Noel Coward is one of the most prolific writers in the history of th e English-speaking stage, and has to his credit a long line of stage successes, none has won a more enduring place for itself in the present-day theater as "Blithe Spirit". The play was revealed to New Yorkers in November, 1941, following a successful London run, at a time when Londoners were deep in the Second World War. Curiously, it was dashed off in a couple of weeks while Coward was resting from assignments entertaining British overseas troops. Impressed by the gallantry of the English people under the battering bombardment of the terrible air raids of that period, he decided to write a farce to help take their minds off their trouble. "Blithe Spirit" was the result. Since then, r evivals, summer stock productions, a very successful motion picture version, and innumerable amateur presentations have combined to make "Blithe Spirit" the greatest of many Noel Coward successes. The play, described by the New York Herald-Tribune on its first American showing as " ... a gay, bright and brilliant farce, filled with debonair laughter," recounts the riotous complications that ensue when the beautiful ghost of his departed wife arrives to share the home and affections of a sorelybeset writer who, until that time, had been living in bliss and harmony with his second wife. Playing the role made popular by Clifton Webb is Mark Hirschman as Charles Conrlomine. Opposite him is Ruth Friedlander as Ruth Condomine, in the role originated by Peggy Wood. Others in the cast include Siglinda Vallot as Elvira, Elaine Adams as Edith, Harvey Stambler as Dr. Bradman, Joan Pitney as Mrs. Brad man, and Dolores Amir as Madame Arcoti. Miss Vallot and Miss Adams are making their debut in "Blithe Spirit" as members of the Cue 'n' Curtain theater group. Art Club Trip Tomorrow Visits to the Cloisters, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum will highlight the New York trip tomorrow sponsored by the Art Club. The committee handling the trip, Bill Pucilowsky, Michael Stretanski, and Diane Schonfeld, has announced that the bus will leave at 5:30 tomorrow morning from Gies Hall. After spending the day both in central city and in outlying areas the group will depart at 11 p.m. for home. Although much of the available time will be consumed by visiting pre-scheduled locations, there will be some free time for those who want to explore on their own.

Chemistry Club Takes Solons' Dance Decision To Court of Appeals �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Friday, November 3, 1961 LOCAL POLITICAL SCENE Freedom - and Responsibility One of the rules of journalistic procedure which must be adhered to by all publications is that of printing the truth. American newspapers in the past have found that the only true path to success is by way of presenting to the reader direct, honest, and objective truths and allowing him to form his own decisions. This is the democratic way and as Americans we have come to accept it as a part of our heritage. Accuracy is but one facet of honest reporting. Slanting the news to encourage the acceptance of a particular viewpoint, except in editorials, though not readily apparent to the average reader is opposed to the Amerian principle of freedom of the press. Along with the freedom to express one's opinion goes a responsibility to present the unbiased, objective facts to the reader. Until such time as newspaper publishers recognize this responsibility, they are not completely fulfilling their duty which is to present straight-forward news. Editorial comment has its place, but it must not supplant the presentation of the facts. Bridging the Gap Both dormitory and day students of this college are aware of constant attempt to "bridge the gap" between their groups. Individuals, campus organization and administration have tried to bring the halves of the college closer in interest and spirit! The fact remains - there are two halves. The dormitory and day students have separate problems, separate after-class environments, and different types of interest in the college. A satisfactory college life for both halves depends upon recognizing the separateness and dealing with it on that basis. No artificial bridges will do. Are we willing to work with this separateness? Can we accept the fact that there is a difference? The Inter-Dormitory Council is an example of an organization set up to deal with one half's management. It has worked effectively in this role for many years. There is a place on campus for a day student council. This organization is needed to release the Student Government from the burden of day student problems. An outright acceptance of our differences will clear the air, and reveal what we have in common. We study together, work together in extra-curricular activities, and support the college in every way we can. These feelings are not " bridging" any gap, but uniting us solidly as the student body of Wilkes College.

Able Candidates Seek Election As County Judgeship Race Ends The whole question of judicial competency is involved in the phrase in our state constitution that requires that judges be 'learned in the law', Embodied in this phrase, and generally in the overall concept, is the total evaluation of a man's background: social. legal and civic. For a judge to be "just", he must have more than a legal understanding of the laws he is constituted to interpret. He must be able to interpret these laws by combining in his determinations a realization of present-day human factors. Incumbent on the electorate is the duty to decide which judicial candidate is most representative of these qualifications. This year, the voters of Luzerne County must fill three vacancies on the county bench. In electing men to fill these posts, they must weigh the qualifications of the candidates before their consideration. DEMOCRAT Basically, the question foremost in the voter's mind should be which candidate is most deserving of his vote. The Democratic candidates for judgeships this year possess a good legal background to go with wide experience in their fields. The work of the Ornhans' Court is highly specialized, with it s jurisdi cti on having greatly expanded since its inception. Ther efore, the man who sits as Judge of the Orphans' Court must have a gr eat deal of experience in this type of work. Edward S. Lopatto Judge Edward S. Lopatto, the incumbent, possesses experience in the work of the Orphans' Court t hat dates back long before h e was appointed to the bench. In 1950, Lopatto was appointed first assistant clerk of the Orphans' Court and served in this capacity under his three predecessors. In 1959, he was elected Regist er of Wills, in which h e was actually the Clerk of the Orphans' Court. In 1956, he received the recommendation of the Luzerne County Law and Library Association to fill a va cancy on the Orphans' Court. This recommendation, the only one of its kind ever given by the county Bar Association, bore fruit this year. His higher education was received at the University of Pennsylvania ; he is the father of nine children; and he is very a ctive in community affairs. In addition to his duties on the Orphans' Court, he also serves as presiding judge of the co unty Juvenile Court. No less important than the election of an Orphan's Court judge is the election this fall of two judges to fill seat s on the Court of Common Pleas. Jacob Schiffman Judge Jacob Schiffman, also an incumbent, likewise has a broad edu cational background, as well as much experience in state and local affairs. He, too, went to the University of Pennsylvania, graduating from the Wharton School of Comm erce and Finance. H e later went on to law school at New York University. Schiffman has been active in private law pract ice sin ce his discharge from the Army in 1945. He has served as counsel to m any state bureaus and is active in the religious, social, and civic life of the community. Joseph G. Tomascik Although Attorney Joseph G. Tomascik is the only Democratic cand idate for judge this year who is not an incumbent, his background more than prepares him for the type of work he will do on the Court of Common P leas . His educational experience is varied; he is a member of t h e bar in P ennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and the United States Supreme Court, as well as in Luzerne Count y. Presently a state representative, Tomascik helped write some of the laws h e will be called upon to interpret on the bench. A former assistant professor of Government at a local college, a lecturer, and an instruct or in commercial law, he did work of a judicial nature when he served as a Workmen's Compensation Referee. In sum mary, the way a man t empers his knowledge with an under- REPUBLICAN The Rep ublican candidates for the Luzerne County bench possess a background in legal, social, and civic affairs to make a truly representative slate in the coming elect ion. Peter Paul Olszewski As a candidate for Judge of the Orphans' Court, Peter Paul Olszewski has a background that would fit well with the work h e will be doing on the bench. H e received his higher education at Lafayette College and St. John's University School of Law. A veteran of World War II, h e is entitled to practice law before the Luzern e County Courts, the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania, and the Federal Court for the Middle District of P ennsylvania. He is also a practicing attorney before the Interstate Commerce Commission , the Internal Revenue Commission, and the Treasury Department. At the present time, he is Sol' citor for the city of Wilkes-Bar and maintains a private law prat tice in the city. He is a m emb,.,of many civic committees and is m ember of the Nationalities A visory Committee of the Republ · ca n National Committ ee. The Republican candidates fc, t he two vacancies on the Court c Common Pleas are equally qualific to sit as judges. Their backgrour is also varied in the social and civ life of t he community. Richard L. Bigelow Richard L. Bigelow possesses d g rees of AB, MA, and LLB fro Swarthmore, Pennsylvania Stat University, and Dickinson Scho. of Law. He is an able educator r well as a qualified lawyer. An instructor of political sciern and labor law at P ennsylvani State University's Hazleton can·. pus, he has also been an assistan, professor of political science ar. constitutional law at Dick in son co· lege.

Therefore, not only the way man is educated but the use '. which he puts that education · important in deciding a vacancy c. the bench. The voter should l sure that he selects men who w 'be truly representative. The R epublican candidates for judge in Luzerne County this year fill the criterion. standing of human problems is all important in the determination of who should sit on the bench. The Democratic candidates possess all three prerequisites n ecessary to act as eff ective members of the court. �Friday, November 3, 1961 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Colonel Gridders Meet Dickinson In Season Home Finale Tomorrow After the first four games of the 1961 football campaign the charges of Coach Francis Pinkowski have yet to taste victory. Morale on the squad hit a new low. With a two week break between the Lycoming defeat and the Dickinson encounter Coach Pinkowski had the major task of rebuilding his squad both physically and mentally. The process seemed impossible but Coach Pinkowski kept at his job of rebuilding the confidence that had disappeared after the Lycoming rout and soon the fruits of his labor seemed to bud. The twenty-odd men who make up the Wilkes squad began to remold into a team. With the Red Devils of Dickinson College invading Colonelland for the last home game of the season, Coach Pinkowski reports, "We're r eady." With Dickinson comes the beginning of a new season for the Colonels. Tomorrow when the Colonels take to the field a n ew team will appear. Not a new team in personnel or attire but a new team in spirit. The Wilkesmen will be a solid unit of players fighting together for a victory.

VEDDY BRITISH Hockey Season Closes Today with Misericordia The Colonelettes will close out a brief schedule this afternoon at four when they host the College Misericordia girls in a return fi eld hockey story. The two t eams battled to a 1-1 draw in their initial m eeting two weeks ago and both squads will be out to prove their superiority in this match. The action will take place at the new hockey field which is situated across the Kirby Park road from the Athletic Field. The girls have made a fin e showing thus far in their initial dive into the field hockey wars of college coeds and should have a big crowd on hand to see them attempt to down the girls from Misericordia. Tie Hilltoppers The Colonelettes got their second taste of battle on W edn esday when they traveled to the H eights to meet the G.A.R. girls. When the dust had settled on the grassless field the Colonelettes had scored a goal to tie the Hilltoppers, 1-1.

Tomorrow, when the soccermen of Coach Jim Ferris close out the season in a match with Stevens Institute of Technology, four seniors will wear the blue and gold of Wilkes for the final time. The contest, which will be held at Hoboken, New Jersey, will be the final outing for Frank Lepore, Clyde Roberts, George Tensa, and Ted Toluba. FRANK LEPORE Frank has been an outstanding lineman and t eam spirit leader for the past two seasons. From his wing position, the 5'8", 142-poud Commerce and Finance major, has sparked the team with his clever ball-handling and all-around offensive and defensive play.

The 5'11", 165-pound Accounting major is currently the team's leading scorer and co-captain. Clyde is also the president of the Wilkes Chapter of the Jaycees and treasurer of the Accounting Club.

Although they played when Wilkes soccer began its decline, the presence of any one of them in a contest made a notable difference in the team's play. The soccer team was presented with its fifth defeat of the year at Williamsport last Saturday as the Warriors of Lycoming College defeated the Colonels, 4-0, in a fast and som etimes raggedly-played contest. Lineman Joe Nucci starred for the Lycoming squad as he slammed home three tallies, one of them on a penalty kick. Ed Reyer scored the final Warrior goal. Fullback Chuck Weiss turned in an inspired performance for the Colonel eleven, making several outstanding defensive plays near the Wilkes goal. In general the team appeared to lack some of the hustle and spirit that it possessed earlier in the season. The fine Wilkes defense which performed so well previously, was found to have been weakened by the Lycoming team whose linemen moved the ball well throughout the match. Lose to East Stroudsburg This past Wednesday the team was defe ated for the sixth time in a match with East Stroudsburg State College, at the new athletic field. The Teachers fielded two fast, strong squads in a two-platoon system as they overpowered the Ferrismen, 4-0. East Stroudsburg rammed three quick goals into the net in the first quarter, striking before the Colnels' defense was set. This team has Jost but one match this season. That was a 2-1 loss to West Chester State College. Their opponents have scored only four goals against them this year. Early in the contest Wilkes lost the services of Clyde Roberts who sustained a deep gash over his right eye. Pete Eckert and Frank Lepore also were hobbled by knee injuries, and as a result the Colonels failed to mount a sustained offensive threat. In general, the Wilkesmen were outclassed by the smooth-running Stroudsburg machine, who took advantage of its depth in the bench. Constant substitution served to wear down the already tired Wilkesmen.

"Butterflies", as this phenomenon is commonly known, occurs quite prevalently among the education majors just before their big safari into the "Blackboard Jungles". Judith Ann Butchko was no exception to the rule this fall when she began her eight weeks of practice teaching at G.A.R. However, in Judy's case, it could have been "Fruit Flies" in the stomach rather than "Butterflies". What's the r eason for this unprecedented change ? Well, according to informed sources in Stark Hall, Judy, who is a senior biology major, has done a 'multiplying job' of breeding fruit flies for Dr. Reif 's genetics course. Af t er a complet ely unexpected experience, the first day of teaching Judy admitted that she was ·ready to quit. She explained that her cooperating t ea cher was absent and she was scheduled to take aver the class. "Things have changed since that first day," she emphasized. "Now I love being before a class - even the disection classes." Tea ching is the pr edominant fa ct or in Judy's fu t ure. She hopes to teach in New J er sey, near Philadelphia, next year, and som eday she would like to t each overseas, particularly in Hong Kong. Com menting on her past years her e at the colleo-e, Judy noted that, JUDY BUTCHKO "The ·s cience Department is just great.

It r eveals what experts have learned about such problems as the a ctual effects of crime and violence in the media; how children are affect ed by adult programming; and the extent to which the media shape attitudes and opinions, create apathy, and " passivity". Last Man In by Scott Greer is a study of the power structure of unions. It seeks to explain race relations within labor unions not in t erms of the social or psychological aspects of "race", but through an analysis of the functional necessities of the union as an organization and the derived demands made upon the union leader. For tales of adventure and exploration one might try Man Against Nature by Charles Neider. A collection of true, eye-witness stories by the world's greatest explorers, pioneers, and adventurers, this book contains the classic and gripping accounts of men like Lindbergh, Wright, and Schweitzer forty-seven selections of danger and excitement. C. Sharp Cook's Modern Atomic and Nuclear Physics deals with atomic and nuclear structure and associated radiations, including discussions of r elativistic mechanics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, and elementary particles. Over 200 problems, 149 illustrations, and numerous references complement the text material. An introductory critical r eport on Wordsworth as a poet and as a man may be found in F. W. Bateson's Wordsworth, a re-interpretation. Readers of this book will find here the great poet, at once more real and sympathetic - a man speaking to men - instead of the egocentric rhapsodist of the textbooks. Finally, those who are not quite sure of the modern meaning of education might try John Dewey : Dictionary of Education, edited by Ralph Winn. Dewey was constantly seeing many things in new relat ions and attempting to express original insights. Dr. Winn has att empted to give a compilation of the theories and statements of the late philosopher on the subject of educa tion and pedagogy. • PENN BARBER SHOP Next Door to Y.M.C.A. • 3 Barbers at Your Service James J.

STUDENT WEEKLY WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1961 College and Community Honor Dr. Farley .Recognitiog Given College President in Twenty-Fifth Year "Blithe Spirit" to Open At Chase Theater For Four-Day Run b yMa ry DiGiuseppe Have you flunked a math exam lately, neighbor? Are you holding up the bottom on that bio curve? Or are those pink slips making your home a battle scene from War and Peace? If so, then break out of that rut, son! Be the first on your block to commit hara-kiri. Then you can do what all the coolest ghosts in town are doing, and float over to Cue and Curtain's newest and zaniest production, "Blithe Spirit", playing at Chase 'T heater from November 15 t hrough 18. Written by Noel Coward, that smooth man with a style, this play is guaranteed to keep you ghastly souls grinning. Described by the N ew York Journal-American as "-brilliantly clever and about as cockeyed as a play can be and still stay on the stage", it presents the notion of a man happily married to his second wife who is suddenly confronted by the ghost of his first wife. The ghost calmly announces that she intends to live with the couple indefinitely and proceeds to do so. This is the starting point for a series of some of the funniest episodes ever written into a play. Mark Hirschman, Ruth Friedla:nder and Sieglinde Vallot head the cast of Cue and Curtain players who are now in their final stage of rehearsals under the direction of Al Groh. Some fanciful phantoms are passing the word that this is going to be better than the averagetype play, so if you're an astute apparition you'll make the scene, dad. You'll have the time of your death if you do. Cast in supporting roles are Dolores Amir, Elaine Adams, Joan Pitney, and Harvey Stambler. Assisting in the production will be Jerry Herman, stage manager; Romelle Gomba, costumes; Warren Harmen, sound and lighting; Robert Schecter, publicity; Barbara Gallagher, make-up; Ellen Sunde!, properties and furniture . Assisting Mr. Groh is Barry Gintel and David Fendrick is Assistant Di;ector. Andrew Palen car is Art Director with Jerry Herman and Emily Weinberg handling special effects. The cast and production crew would like to express their appreciation to William J ervi~ and the maintenance crew for their cooperation. Admission is free and the play will open next Wednesday at 8 :30 p .m. in Chase Theater. Other performances will be held on Thursday and Saturday of next week. Biologists to View Autopsy at Hospital . The Biology Club ventures mto the unusual as far as field trips are concerned within the near fu ture.

Stark A broad variety of interests and backgrounds is the chief characteristic of the principcd speakers for the testimonial dinner honoring Dr. Farley, Wilkes College President, tomorrow evening. These men represent careers ranging from financial counselor of a philanthropic institution to Norwegian educator and author of a German grammar textbook. Jesse Ghoper, an alumnus of Wilkes College and present assistant professor of law at the University of Minnesota, will act as toastmaster· for the affair. Choper, who garnered many honors while at Wilkes, was a member of the Wilkes debating team that won the Harvard Tournament and the Pennsylvania State Tournament in- 1957. At this time he ranked third in the counry. Since he left Wilkes in 1957, Choper has led an active and varied life culminating last year in his appointment as law clerk to Chief Justice Earl Waqen. Besides membership in the Order of Coif - a legal honor society whose members are the top 10 % of the law graduates of certain schools, he holds membership in the bars of the U.S. District Court for District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for District of Columbia Circuit Court. United Fund Campaign Falls Short of Goal; Trophy Winners Named The United Fund campaign on campus fell short of its goal for 1961. Lou Coopey, chairman of the drive, announced that the students missed the goal by $83.58. Two-thirds of the money was donated during the last week of the campaign. Trophies have been awarded to the winner in each of the three divisions of the campaign. The freshman class captured the trophy for Division A by contributing the most money per member. The freshman class also contributed the proceeds of the United Fund Dance. Louis Matioli, chairman of the dance, said that the dance raised a total of $150.40 for the campus campaign. Dr. K. Roald Bergethon Jesse Choper Krasa Named Chairman at First Court of Appeals Meeting Division B trophies were granted to men and women's dormitories which contributed the most money to the campaign.

Dr. Bergethon attended grammanichools and high scho'ol in Brooklyn but · returned to Tromso to complete his secondary €ducation . at the "Hoiere Almenskole". Puring World War II while working on .the constructio~ of military installations and manufa cturing plants required for war efforts, -he received a citation for meritoriou's civilian service from the U.S. Navy. In 1953, while ass socfate dean at Brown University, he. was awarded a Carnegie Corpor·a tion travel grant which enabled him fo observe undergraduate educational programs at more than twenty colleges and universities throug hout the nation. Author of Grammar for Reading German and a bibliography of Norwegian literature, Bergethon also contributes book reviews and articles concerning the teaching of German and education administration to professional journals. Arnaud C. Marts has a special interest in Wilkes College. Buck_nell University had fostered a junior college in Wilkes-Barre and Marts who served as president of Bucknell University from 1935 to 1945 inherited the problem of fo rmulating permanent plans for t his center of learning. Since he devot ed so much time and energy to this problem, he naturally is interested in progress and development of Wilkes. Marts, financial counselor for Marts and Lundy, Inc., philanthropic institution in New York, has had experience in the fields of education, business, _politics, civic service, and writing. In his capacity as an author, he has written two books, Philanthropy's Role in Civilization and Man's Concern for His Fellow Man: Chairman of the Boar d of Trustees of Wilkes College, Admiral Harold R. Stark, USN retired, will represent that body on Saturday even ing. Admiral Stark, now residing in Washington, D.C., is a former commander of the European fleet during World War II and a fo rmer chief of naval operations in the U.S. Navy. That his services were valuable is evidenced by the fact that he was kept on duty beyond retirement age at the re quest (continued on page 6) �wn.n:s 2 Friday, November 10, 1961 COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- STUDENT SKETCH United Fund Drive Successful The campus United Fund campaign which concluded last Friday realized a total contribution of $1,116.25. Although the goal of $1,200 was not reached, the drive was successful. The various members of the administration, faculty, and student body who exerted a great deal of time and effort in making solicitations are to be congratulated. The showing made by Wilkes is a credit to all connected with the college. As a community college, the impression created by Wilkes is important and each student should take a deep sense of pride in this impression. The spirit of Wilkes students was manifested in the fact that approximately two-thirds of the goal was reached during the last week of the drive. This last-minute turnout proves the ability of Wilkes students to accomplish tasks placed before them. Once again, thanks and congratulations to those who conducted the drive and to all who participated. Suggestions Needed The deadline for suggestions for a Senior Class gift to the college is drawing near and as of this issue only a few suggestions have been received. The class has approximately $1400 in its memorial fund to be used in the purchase of a gift and all students are urged to submit any useful ideas to one of the members of the gift committee or in one of the suggestion boxes. Gifts made by classes in recent years have enhanced the beauty of the college as well as provided useful items which the college would not ordinarily purchase. Each year, the Item selected for purchase has been the result of a great deal of thought and this year should be no exception. The expanding nature of the college provides a wealth of ideas in itself. As we look forward to greater things, the contribution which any one. particular group can give to the college must not be overlooked. Your cooperation is needed. Any suggestion which you may have will be carefully considered by the class gift committee. Help them in this endeavor and by so doing, have a part in the growth of the college.

Since the yearbook is free, the $1.00 fee necessary for the picture is a worthwhile investment. Thus far only the sophomores have the required amount of people signed for the pictures. Editor Harry Collier has announced that progress on the Amnicola has been slow because of the delay concerning the insufficient number of students signing to have their pictures taken. Thanksgiving is the deadline for senior pictures, and the following week is the deadline for senior pictures, and the following week is the deadline for dormitory pictures. Do Your Holiday Shop-lifting Early! by Roz Deretchin At the last meeting of the Jaycees Paul Heagy was voted in as a new member under a new admission policy. Usually one has to be a Junior or a Senior, but Heagy, who is 25 and a former member of the York Jaycees, was admitted by the group. As part of their program of informing the public of important events taking place, the Jaycees, acting under chairman Don Mattey, last week sent letters to all seniors over 21 and to all veterans urging them to vote. They also placed posters around th~ campus reminding the people of Election Day. During the weekend of October 21-22, Russ Singer attended the Jaycees State Board meeting. Singer urged the State Convention representatives to consider WilkesBarre as the sight of the 1963 convention.

Every girl is at heart a show stopper - at least to an audience of one, so if you're a girl with L.P. (Losts of Parties) on her calendar you'll be wild about those newest neons for night, Limelight and Whitelight, the showstopping colors of the season. Limelight, a yellow-lit green, is aglow in mohair, chiffon and satin. Whitelight is lit with glitter in beaded overblouse dresses and in the Great White Coat, Mademoiselle's choice for wrapping up Limelight dresses. Part-time silhouettes come in several profiles. Some shapes fall straight, others have skirts that move out. Some waistlines skip a beat, others take their natural line. Don't be surprised to find new combinations in texture, such as a chiffon skirt fluttering out from a mohair over-blouse. You can see all these great high voltage fashions in the November issue of Mademoiselle, and at our holiday party fashion show coming soon. Contest If you have considered entering the Mademoiselle College Board Contest, here are a few suggestions. Report on some trend that you see coming in at Wilkes - in the arts, humor, clothes, attitudes, social customs, anything else (but politics - which was reported on in the August issue). Tell how you would change Wilkes if you could (2,000 words or more). Choose the five most interesting fabrics you can find, and design clothes to show three different ways each fabric can be used. For example : a sportswear set, cocktail dress, afternoon dress, et cetera. Design and write an informative booklet that a national advertiser might distribute to college students. Choose any subject matter for the booklet, but relate it to the advertiser's product. For additional suggestions, see the bulletin board by the Commons or the Mademoiselle Campus Representatives Nancy Tinklepaugh and Maryann Wilson.

With planks like this in his platform "Pete's" name should have been on every ballot in the country last Tuesday. The men from Butler Hall, Pete's home away from home, suggested that Pete's ability to build platforms stems from a •job he had a few summers ago when he was a carpenter's apprentice . However, it is certain that many m embers of the Inter-Dormitory Council, which Pete has headed for the past two years, could find much better reasons for his capabilities in leadership a nd organization. In answer t o what he would like to see done here on campus, Pete hop efully replied, "There needs to be more action taken by the entire student body. Too many people can criticize and talk a lot, but too few do anything productive." He suggested that t here be more communication between the student leaders and the student body.

Mud and Guts In last Saturday's game at the Athletic Field, the Blue and Gold was submerged in a sea of mud as the Red Devils of Dickin son turned in a 7-6 win .in the midst of a torrential, day-long deluge. There was plenty of courage shown on and off the field as the Colonels fa ced rugged playing con1:iitions, while 500 loyal fans stood · behind them and cheered · them on. The differ ence in the ball game came in the· second period when John Harper -split the uprights with a p lacement after the Dickinson touchdown. The TD followed the only sustain ed drive · of the game by eith er team. The rally was set up when back Jack Thomas intercepted a TravisBey pass on the Dickinson 48 and carried it an the way to the ·W ilkes 34. From here Dickinson quarterback DiOrio lugged the ball for five yards, Dick Warden got four, and Di Orio .three more for a first down on the Wilkes 22. After an in complete pass, Bob Harlowe carried to the 15 and then Reno DiOrio pulled off the n eatest play of the game. After faking a hand-off, the quarterback threw a bullet pass up the middle to end Joe Lipinski who grabbed it in the middle of the Wilkes defensive array and went straight to touchdown land untouched.

However, Dickinson had the ball so much of the tim e it was virtually im possible to stop the club from scoring.

Address Zone City OUR ADVERTISERS State DATA PROCESSING PATRONIZE PB-16 �Colonelelles Down Misericordia; Judy Barger Scores Lone Goal Womanhood took a large stride ahead in its attempt to destroy the "legend of male superiority" last Friday as the Colonelette field hockey squad completed an undefeated season with an impressive 1-0 victory over the College Misericordia girls. This brought the season's record of the Wilkes coeds to a one win, two tie ending. The opening half action was rough-and-tumble with the defensive halfbacks of both teams playing great ball with effective ball hawking and blocking. Neither team could muster an effective offense until the closing minutes when the Colonelette passing brought the ball into scoring range. A pass from Janet Ainsworth to Judy Barger put the ball in front of the goal and Judy responded with a "bullet-like" shot at the goal. A Misericordia defender lunged at the ball with a desperation swing and got her stick in front of the ball. Instead of stopping, the ball ricocheted off the stick and into the net for the lone score of the afternoon. Both t eams threatened in the second half but the defensive secondaries were not to be crossed as the fullbacks of both squads thwarted any scoring attempts. Carol Rhin es registered her first shutout game of the season for the Colonelettes. The fullbacks, Carol Plonner and Regina Ritzie, shone with their aggressive play. The most outstanding performance of the afternoon was center-halfback Marilyn Davis. The freshman philosophy major played her usual effective game by continually stealing the ball from the Misericordia linemen as they attempted to cross into Wilkes territory. Wing halfbacks Heather Danuiel and Fran Gallagher aided the defensive play with their timely steal s and blocks. The line of Janet Ainsworth, Judy Barger, Jo Sigiorelli, Rose Hallet, and Mary Ann Vannoy looked very good with their pass patterns. The future looks bright for the Colonelettes as all of the girls are underclassmen, and gained the experience of learning to play togeth er as a team. Mrs. Saracino is looking forward to next year wh en the Colonelettes advance deeper into intercollegiate competition. ATTENTION FOOTBALL FANS!

The Engineers scored their intial goal in the second period as Lew Spiridellis headed t he ball into the net after a shot glanced off the goal post. Their second goal came early in the third quarter on an 18-yard shot by Ed Nidaasby. A pass by Frank Lepore and a left-footed boot by Clyde Rob erts accounted for the only Colonel tally in the fourth period. Wilkes threatened again late in the final period on shots by Walt Prusakowski and Rob erts. At the end of the game, Wilkes was hammering at the Stevens goal. A generally well-played match ' was marred only by the fact that both of the Stevens goals resulted from mixups in the injury-ridden Wilkes backfield. Dick Morgan and Bill Flynn, and the team as a unit, performed quite well against an experienced team which was comprised entirely of Europeans. Coach Ferris' soccer squad finished the season with a 3-7 log and were 3-5 in MAC competition. Colonel Bowlers Open Season with Victory Over Scranton Classics The Wilkes bowling team opened its season on a successful note last Sunday afternoon at Lispi Lanes. In a thrilling match the Colonel keglers defeated the bowlers of Scranton's Junior Classic League. Wilkes took a 43-pin lead after the first game on the strength of Jerry Zeller's 213, as the team hit 871 to Scranton's 828. Butch Garber led Scranton with a 220 in the first game. After the second game, which was a reversal of the first, the Wilkesmen found themselves 28 pins behind. Scranton hit for 994 in the second game as compared to a respectable 923 for Wilkes. Three of the Scranton bowlers dropped more than 200 pins in this game, while Dave Sokira with 203 topped that mark for Wilkes. Wilkes continued the torrid pace in the third game to overcome the defict and emerged a 145-pin victor. Scranton was bested 905-732 in the final game. A rematch will be scheduled for the near future.

Baiera . At the Student Government meeting Monday night vital issues were debated. Activity forms that were submitted to the Student Government by the Biology Club for a closed affair and the Economics Club for a field trip were not accepted. The Student Government felt that they had no jurisdiction over these affairs because of existing policies from last year. Under reports of the standing committees, the Budget committee r~port was giv:en _on the_ "Near Bier Brawl." sponsored by the Catlin-Gore dorm1tones towght. A moion was passed to give .these dormitories $20 each from the Dormitory Activity Fund so :that this affair would be free to all attending. In the future policies of this nature will be considered by the Policy committee. .· A motion proposed by Buddy Menaker and passed by the Student Government stated that the number ·o f v:otes received by each candidate in each election will be posted on the bulletin board as soon as they ·are known. This is a new policy instituted by the Student Government since past policies determined that only winners should be listed with no numerical results being shown. Under a special committee report on parking lots by Jeff Gallet, problems concerning Gies Hall parking lot were discussed. The Student Government resolved that the following be enacted: (1) that a system be set up in Gies Hall parking lot to park cars in set spaces; (2) that curbs will be lowered to eliminate the barriers; (3) that trees obstructing the movement of cars be removed; (4) that new parking lot stickers be issued on a rotating basis for car pools; and (5) that a new type of parking sticker that can be more easily removed be issued.

No. 9 Last April, in the First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes-Barre, a group of sixteen Madrigal Singers under the direction of Mr. Richard Chapline, music department instructor, recorded a Wilkes College Christmas Album. The Christmas carols included in the album were selected by Mr. Chapline and are favorites of the group. by Barbara A. Lore A young Cleveland pianist of international a cclaim, Joel Shapiro, will present several selections from his 1961-1962 repertoire for the entertainment of the Wilkes College ass em b I y on Thursday, November 30, at 11 a.m. Although a relatively young artist, Mr. Shapiro has been the recipient of numerous international honors. In 1959 he was awarded the coveted "Premier Prix avec Distinction, Laureat Premier Nomme" at the piano competition of the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music. At this time, he was also selected to perform with orchestra in a gala concert and recital sponsored by the American ambassador in Brussels a fact which prompt ed Congresswoman Frances P. Bolton of Ohio to proclaim that he was doing an invaluable service in contributing to American cultural prestige. At the Darche Competition h eld in Brussels in December, 1960, befor e a distinguished international jury, Shapiro captured the first prize of 25,000 Belgian francs. His most recent triumph came with the presentation of the 1961 Harriet Cohen International Bach Prize, described b y the British Government Information Service as a "sort of musical Nobel Prize." The significan ce of this award is evidenced by the fact that it is patronized by Pablo Casals, worldfamou s cellist. His background, as w ell as his performances, has an international flavor for Mr. Shapiro has studied not only with American instructors Beryl Rub enstein and Frank Sheridan, but also with Nadia Boulanger, Artur Rub enstein , and Robert Casadesus of Frances, and famous Polish pianist Stephan Askenase. Mr. Shapiro, who has been enthusiastically received on his previous tours throughout Europe, will embark on another extensive European jaunt in 1962, which will include performances in Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, and Vienna. The final performances of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" will be held tonight and Saturday night at the Chase Theater. Tonight's performance will begin at 7:40 p.m. On Saturday evening, the play will begin promptly at 8:30 p.m. Radio Club Broadcasts Announcements in 'Caf' by Mary Alice Isganitis The Wilkes College Amateur Radio Club, under the auspices of the Student Government, is now providing a new service to the students of Wilkes. Members of the club will announce important events on the public address system in the cafeteria. Any student who wishes somethi ng of importance announced is asked to place the information in the Radio Club's mailbox, located in the bookstore, twenty-four hours before announcement time. Announcements will be made on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the noon hour. Urgent announcements will be made on other days. On December 1, the Radio Club will hold open house in Pickering Hall from noon to 5 p.m. The purpose of this demonstration is to acclimate the students of the college to the activities of the club. One need not to be a Marconi to learn how to operate a ham radio, for no previous experience is required. The Radio Club has a wide rang e of contacts and is now planning to transmit messages for out-of-town stud ents. These messages will be beamed to the student's hometown at no cost to the sender. Also on December 1, the Radio Club will hold a dance in the gymnasium entitled "The Cathode Caper." The dance will be held after the School Spirit's Powder Bowl Game. Bobby Baird and his band will supply the music for the evening. John Biga is general chairman of the affair and will be assisted by Ken Krupinski, Michael Loncoski, Margaret Rutz, and Joan Sipko.

The date of the formal was moved up one week so that dormitory students would be able to attend. All indications prove it will be a most memorable occasion. In keping with the holiday spirit, the decorations will have a holiday theme with a large backdrop duplicating a seasonal scene. The air will be filled with enchanting music supplied by Jack Melton and his orchestra. Dancing will be from 9 to midnight at the gym which will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Serving as general co-chairmen for the formal are Rick Rees and George Tensa. Roger Rolfe is in charge of decorations with Len Y oblonski and Bill Schwab handling the backdrop creation. Paul Aquilino is chairman of the ticket committee and Don Eller, the favors committee. Program chairman is Brooke Yeager with Erwin Guetig handling the orchestra and lighting.

Jaycees Sponsor Drive To Aid State Hospital A book drive, sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, will be h eld from November 15 to December 5 for the benefit of the Retreat State Hospital. The Director of Nursing at the h ospital, Miss Florence Bujno, a Wilkes College alumna, made a plea for books in the following fields: anatomy, biology, zoology, histology, psychology, sociology, first aid, and all kinds of nursing books. Condition and age of the books does not matter. Students who wish to donate books are asked to place them in "book boxes" which will be located in the main buildings on campus. If it is not possible to bring them to school, contact Nick Adams or Clyde Roberts, and they will arrange to pick up the books. The Wilkes Jaycees, on behalf of the Retreat State Hospital, urge all students to contribute as many books as possible to this drive. Notre Dame Inaugurates Program to Prepare Freshmen for College A n ew program affecting the instruction of incoming freshmen at the University of Notre Dame beginning in September, 1962, was explained by the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburg, University president. The first-year student will not enter directly into any of Notre Dame's four undergr~duate colleges, but instead will commen ce a n ew "Freshman Year of Studies". Father Hesburg explained that while the fr eshman applicant will be r equired to make a "declaration of intent" indicating a preferen ce for liberal arts, science, engineering, or business administration, his decision will not be final until the spring of his freshman year. One of the chief values of the new "Freshman Year of Studies" is that the freshman will have the advantage of a year of actual experience at N otre Dame as well as Notre Dame co unseling before making final edu cational plans. He will no longer be r eq uired to make these important decisions while still in hig.h school. by Mary Frances Barone Dr. Charles B. Reif returns again to the Beatnik Bop, where he made his debut three years ago reading his first original beatnik poetry. Dr. Reif has been a guest performer for the dance since the Beatnik Bop was created by the Psychology-Sociology Club as an annual affair. Joining Dr. Reif this year will be Mr. Stanley Gutin, a member of the English department. Mr. Gut in has consented to display his poetical talents as a beatnik poet during the dance intermission. Following the poetical exploits, the n ext attraction will be contests for the best bearded beatnik male, the best "beat" male without a beard, and the best beatnik "chick". The best bearded beatnik male will be awarded a $5 gift certificate. There will be two consolation prizes for the runners-up. Prizes will also be given to the winn ers of the other contests. Dr. Robert Riley and Dr. Fred Bellas , chaperones of the affair, will act as judges for the contests. J immy Walters, master of ceremonies for the intermission, will aid the judges in their decisions. The finale of the entertainment will be the. appearance of the Warner Trio. The Trio, which includes Ronnie Borick, George Evancho, and Bob King, will chant a few folk songs for the guests at the "pad". Capturing the theme of the dance, Joe Gelli, decorations chairman, has announ ced that the gym will be transformed into a beatnik "pad", which means apartment in the Queen's English. Original modern art will help provide the unique beatnik atmosphere. To emphasize the beatnik theme, a flut e player has been added to the regular group of musicians, led by Bill J erome. Atmospheric background music will be supplied during intermission. Psy-Soc Club Goes to KC All-College Dance Set for Next Week On November 2 Cecile Gratkowski and Pat Fallon represented the Psychology-Sociology Club at a meeting held at King's College. Representatives from all the local Psychology-Sociology clubs of area colleges attended. At the meeting Monsignor Deuel explained a Papal Decree concerning the economic, social, and political conditions of America. Also included among the topics dis cussed were the psychological aspects of Communism and slum clearance. The girls received a sincere and warm welcome from the president of the college. He expressed the hope that the relationship between King's and Wilkes will improve in the future, and he extended an invitation to all Wilkes students to participate in any a ctivity conducted at King's. The thirteenth annual All-College Dance will be held one week from today starting at 9 p.m. and ending at midnight in the gymnasium. This affair, held during every Thanksgiving holiday, is open to all college students of the area who are home on vacation. Frankie Reynolds' Quintet will provide music for the evening. Lou Coopey, chairman, has announced that no admission will be charged. Student Government, sponsors of the dance, request that guests wear sport jackets. Marguerite Gelli is refreshment chairman, and Tom Penhale is in charge of coat checking. �wn.n:s 2 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 17, 1961 STUDENT SKETCH EDITORIAL- Save Lives Not Time As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, students are looking forward to a much needed rest and an intermission from the daily routine. As we go our separate ways, many to attend football games, parties, and of course the long-awaited traditional Thanksgiving dinner, a reminder to all who will be traveling is in order. Highway traffic will be at a high over the holiday weekend and once again there will no doubt be a large number of accidents. A warning to all of us comes by way of a few vital statistics: (1) Although those under 25 years of age comprise only 18.4 per cent of all licensed drivers, they are involved in about 28 per cent of all highway accidents and more than 28 per cent of fatal accidents. (2) Almost every traffic collision involves at least one law violation. (3) You can't stop your car on a dime. Actually, a car traveling at 40 mph needs a braking distance of 125 feet, at 50 mph a distance of 133 feet is required, and at 60 mph, the stopping distance is 272 feet. (4) Falling asleep at the wheel is the cause of an increasing number of traffic accidents. A factor is the spread of monotonous, high-speed expressways. Together with these, we might also point out a few winter warnings to drivers. Night falls earlier now and night driving makes special demands on the eyes. Carbon monoxide from your car engine is a sneaky, deadly poison. Always have plenty of fresh air in your car. Above all, keep in mind the rules of safe driving. Drive with caution, care, consideration, and courtesy. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and then get there, alive. FROM THE FRONT ROW Opening Performance of Campus .Group's "Blithe Spirit" Reviewed by· Dr. William Edgerton Weeks of frantic between-classes rehearsal turned into funny lively comedy last night in Chase Theater, when the Cue and Curtain Players staged Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit". A convulsed audience respond ed gratefull y to live actors in place of TV shadows and called back for repeated curtain calls a student cast who brought to life Britain's witty playwright's wild farce based on the situation of a husband being confronted with both his live wife and a dead wife's ghost until they both disappear "over there". Marc Hirschman, a sophomore from Cedarhurst, N.Y., was the •husband; Ruth Friedlander, sophomore from New York City, was his live wife, and Sieglinde Vallot, freshman from Closter, N.J., was the "Blithe Spirit" , his dead wife's ghost. Dolores Amir, a junior from Bronx, N .Y., was lV1adame Arcati, the dotty spiritualist with the schoolgirl vocabulary. Harvey Stambler, a senior from Lakewood, N .J ., played the Colonel Blimpish Doctor Bradman, and Joan .Pitney, sophomore, Springfield, N.J., his catty wife. Meanwhile, lumbering through the play "on the double" was Edith, the hopeless maid, played by Marsha Hochberg, a sophomore from Tea. neck, N.J. The play, one of Coward's lightest and r unniest, tells the story of a wife coming back from the spirit world during a seance to haunt distractingly a husband who has meanwhile happily remarried. This improbable plat makes a crazy kind of sense as Coward writes it, and high-spirited acting and expert direction, by Alfred S. Groh, Wilkes College drama director, transport the audience into a more-than-willing suspension of disbelief. Backstage a large crew of student production workers labored smoothly through a difficult and carefully timed program to help the actors on the stage create a scene where the antics of ghosts and poltergeists in an English drawing room seemed, if not possible, at least, while the play was progressing, somehow probable. The fa st laconicisms of Coward's line ("Do you see anything interesting in The Times this morning?" "Don't be silly.") and the contrasts between ultra-sophisticated, articulate characters and their opposites demand perfect timing, for the lines, funny as they are, do not play themselves. Even a door opening and shutting has to be perfectly timed. The stage contains for a minute only the "blithe spirit". She is suddenly pursued by the invisible spirit of th e second wife. Out the door fli es the ghost and the door slams behind her. Then the door opens and shuts again as the invisible wife hurries after in pursuit, and as the curtain goes down the audience reponds delightedly to a funny situation which, oddly enough, contains not a whisper of a voice. The door scene reminds the audience that not only was there competent acting and expert direction to make the flight of the blithe spirit believable, but also perfect (continued on page 4) Letters to the Editor · ·,· Dear Editor: The time has come for the general Liberal Arts students of Wilkes College to stop being required to subsidize other Wilkes students, including all students working toward a Bachelor of Science degree. I am referring, of course, to the glaring disparity in the numb er of semester hours permitted to students in the various curricula, with the Bachelor of Arts major running low man. In this respect, the 1961-1962 Bulletin is both illuminating and perplexing. Physics majors are allowed 141 credit hours; Chemistry majors, 140 hours; Secondary Education majors, 138 hours; Accounting majors, 135 hours; majors in Biology or Music Education, 132 hours; Mathematics majors, 131 hours; majors in Business Admin istration, Retailing, Secretarial Studies, or Business Education, 129 hours; Fine Arts Education majors, 128 hours; Elementary Education majors, 127 hours; Music majors, 125 hours; Liberal Arts majors, only 123 hours. In his junior and senior years, a Chemistry major may take 72 credit hours; a Physics major, 71 hours; a Secondary Education major, 70 hours; an Accounting major, 69 hours; a major in Biology or Mathematics, 68 hours; a Business Administration m a j or, 66 hours; a major in Retailing, Secretarial Studies, or Business Education, 65 hours; a Fine Arts Education major, 64 hours; a major in Music, Elementary Education, or Music Education, 63 hours; a Bachelor of Arts major, only 60 hours. Thus, in his last two years, an additional three hundred dollars in order to take the same number of hours a Chemistry major is allowed for the flat tuition rate. Is this fair? Undoubtedly, many a Liberal Arts student would like to take an extra course or two in his junior or senior year, but he is reluctant to do so because of the additional expense involved. If anyone has a reasonable explanation for the discrimination against Liberal Arts students, I would like to read it in this column in the next issue of the Beacon. If not, Liberal Arts students of Wilkes, arise! You have nothing to lose but knowledge! A Liberal Arts Student (name withheld upon request) Dean's Lisi Student Believes In Hard Work and Social Activities by Jerry Shilanski She has been a Dean's Lis student for five semesters, recipient of the Linda B. Morris Award, and probably has the highest average of any student in the business education department. With all these accomplishments to her credit, the fact remains that Ann Znaniecki was undoubtedly the last person to decide to enroll at Wilkes in September, 1958. Ann spent three days in nurses training at the Nesbitt Memorial H9spital that fall before she discovered that nursing wasn't for hlfr.

Paul Aquilino and T ed Toluba will pace in front of the Kickline bench with Jerry Mohn and P ete Winebrake coaching the Cheerleaders.

To the Editor: The recent testimonial dinner to Dr. Farley illustrates quite clearly the important part cooperation plays in making such a project successful. Althoug h the testimonial was sponsored by the Community, were it not for the splendid school spirit exemplified by the various student organizations, the dinner would have fallen far short of its goal.

WHAT - WHERE WHEN - Although this charming senior coed had never had any commercial courses at Nanticoke High School, where she won three academic awards in addition to being chosen valedictorian of her graduating class, she elected business education as her college major. In a relatively short time her skill in shorthand and typing had increased to 130 and 60 words per minute respectively, and she has taken enough courses in English and history to give her a minor in both fields. She was recently named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, she has been a member of the Economics Club, and she is presently a member of the Education Club. Ann plans to do h er student teaching next semester. Ann's future includes teaching, possible graduate study, and definitely marriage. She is engaged to Walter Grzymski, a former engineering major at Wilkes, who will receive h is degree in electrical engineering from Penn State this spring. The tentative date for the wedding is August, 1962. In response to the question, "What do you think of Wilkes?" Ann replied, "I like it. I have no complaints and I would choose it again over a larger school. H ere, a student can g et more personal attention and the small classes are conducive to direct questions and answers." Commenting on the campus social life Ann suggested that the commuting and the dormitory students should get together for more social affairs. "Maybe it's the fault of the commuting students who don't care to come back to the college once they go home; I feel that students should not devote all their time to studies. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," she offered as a bit of advice. Ann was employed last summer as a playground instructor by the Nanticoke School District. She has also worked as a secretary for the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hipolit Znaniecki of 696 East Main Street, Nanticoke, P ennsylvania. Small College Will Enable Students to Relate Ideas To be required of all seniors with a background of Western Civilization, the new "capstone" course at Alma College was developed this past summer in a faculty workshop. This completes the plans of the new curriculum which were to include Western Civilization and a senior course of some kind to fill the additional religion requirement. Varied in method of teaching and material covered, the course is titled "Man and the Modern World-The Examined Life", and has as its purpose to confront the student with the ideal which directs and integrates a Christian liberal arts education. In examining this ideal, the student will first consider wholenes. or oneness as a property of truth and wisdom. This will involve a consideration of the pre-suppositions, implications and current developments in scientific and humanistic studies. A second part of the ideal to be dealt with will be the concept of the nature of an education as a trust involving a responsibility of participation in and contribution to society. �Friday, November 17, 1961 3 WILKES COLLF.GE BEACON Gridders Face Crusader TD Machine Six Seniors Finish Grid Careers Against Highly-Rated Crusaders Tomorrow Night al Selinsgrove ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Eller Named All-East For Outstanding Play tColonels Look for Second Win Against Undefeated Susquehanna Football fans are quick to praise a poised quarterback, a speedy Tomorrow when the Colonel gridders travel down-river to meet the halfback, a bruising fullback, or a Crusaders of Susquehanna University in the final game of the current sticky-fingered end.

Winning streaks of one sort or another will be broken tomorrow night when the Colonel gridders invade Selinsgrove to meet the undefeated Susquehanna University team.

DIGEST ARTICLE STATES: Intelligence Tests No Longer Reliable Intelligence tests are no longer very intelligent ways to judge intelligence. In fact, a pupil's intelligence can be as accurately revealed by his grades and his behavior as they can by I.Q. test scores. This is among conclusions drawn by many psychologists and educators and reported by John Lagemann in a December Reader's Digest article, which criticizes toorigid reliance on I.Q. tests as outmoded and harmful. I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) scores were once regarded as accurate harbingers of academic success. "Hifh -1.Q.'s" were carefully nursed along t o w a r d college careers, while low scorers were academically sidetracked. I.Q. scores are still heavily relied upon in deciding how our children fare academically, although teachers are becoming more cautious in their use of the tests. One drawback of I.Q. tests is that they don't really measure intelligence, which is an amalgam of many different qualities. Dr. H~n.ry Dyer of the Princeton, N.J., Educational Testing Service says, "An aptitude test tells how well a pupil can cope with tasks like those in the test at the time he takes the test, and it tells nothing more." One of the qualities I.Q. cannot accurately reveal is creativity, a vital factor in intelligence .Another is adaptability. Tests tend to favor fast "top-of-the-head" thinkers over creative, reflective ones. Another objection to I.Q. tests is that they tend to equate intelligence with cultural advantages. Children in prosperous surroundings show about four times as many above 1Z5 I.Q. scores as their poorer, citydwelling counterparts-not because of greater ability, but thanks to greater exposure to such cultural advantages as books and magazines. Some educators have suggested that we throw out the standardized, machine-graded tests altogether, and rely on more individual methods of measuring intelligence. What- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1961 Student Government ActivUies Policy Becomes Effective Today by Gloria Zaludek Student Government's newly adopted policy regarding activities forms will go into effect today. This recently adopted policy states that all organizations must obtain permission from the Student Government to hold all student funcions. These funcions include both those open to the entire student body and those closed to the members of a particular group or organization and their guests. Activities forms must be submitted to the calendar committee of the Student Government for approval not less than two weeks prior to the scheduled activity. These forms may be procured from the office of the Director of Student Activities or from the Student Government. At the Student Government meetings, the calendar committee will submit the activities forms signed by two chaperones in addition to the club's president or vice-president, and the chairman of the affair. Student Government will prosecute violators of the new policy with penalties, social or financial, according to the severity of the offense. Several other issues were discussed at the last meeting. Mike Bianco and Jim Walters moved that the $471.66, remaining in the budget Al Kishel from last year, be allocated for Student Govemment President scholarships and / or for the stereo- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < > p h o n i c equipment in the cafeteria.

After that the tall Lions stayed on the winning road as they won the MAC championship by defeating highly-rated Hofstra and advanced to the quarter-finals of the NAIA tourney before losing to Mt.

The ball-hawking duo of Pearsal and Evans spelled plenty of trouble for the Wilkesmen last season and will be out to match their fifty-point outburst that spelled victory for the Lions. Also back is Sommerstadt, a I an k y forward who gathered in 16 rebounds in last season's contest. Tom Saul will replace Little All-American Dick Van Dine at the pivot post and the 6'-6" junior is being tagged with AllMAC laurels in the pre-season polls. On Tuesday the Colonels travel to Ithaca to meet the Bombers of Ithaca College. The B o m b e r s downed the Colonels, 89-73, last year and the Davismen will be out to return the favor as Ithaca opens its home schedule with this contest.

Leading the Colonels onto the hardwoods are co-captains Tom Pugh and Harvey Rosen. Pugh, a 6'1" senior, has been the mainstay of the Colonel squad for the past three seasons and has matured into a sturdy rebounder and playmaker under the watchful eye of Davis. "Guff" is especially noted for his deadly hook-shots as he rotates inthe post. Rosen, a 6'2" junior, was the top scorer on the Colonel squad last season and was crowned "King of the Foul Line" by leading the country's hoopsters in foul shooting. The "Rose" is especially accurate with his patented jump-shot. The rest of the starting five is made up of Dick Morgan, Bob Fleming, and John Moore.

Saodat Hosan, chief of press and public liaison will speak on a subject dealing with the countries of the Arab Middle East. All too often, many of us merely scan the headlines and are little concerned with affairs in countries other than our own. The countries with which Mr. Hosan is familiar are currently coping with political. social. and economic problems which frequently lead to international repercussions. Opportunities such as this, to learn first hand information, which, with the world situation today, could affect all of us as individuals. We should all make an earnest effort to attend this interesting and informative lecture. To the anonymous Liberal Arts Student : In regard to your virulent charge that Liberal Arts students are unjustly required to subsidize students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree, I feel that your alleged objections are somewhat unwarranted. A liberal arts student is mainly interested in receiving a broad education. The technical stud en t (usually taking a Bachelor of Science degree), however, is in college to receive a vocation. In order to be adequately trained for a job, the technical aspirant requires many more hours of personal instruction. The liberal arts student needs only an introduction to the material and, if he is ambitious enough, can successfully fulfill his interest in the subject matter. The college provides a library of some 55,000 volumes and numerous periodicals. Furthermore, the facilities of the Osterhout and Hoyt Libraries and if the student is a sedulous bee, he can write through the college to the New York Public Library and receive most any information that interests him. The college also presents the WilkesBarre Philharmonic O r c h e s t r a which should interest anyone who considers himself in the liberal arts. Unless Mr. Disgruntled Liberal Arts Student is a lethargic troglodyte, I feel that he can receive a very good and broad education at Wilkes by working earnestly and ardently. I have unequivocally shown that the disconted liberal arts students can mitigate their fears for they are not being treated unjustly. May I further remind my friend that is often better to have quality and not quantity. Sincerely Philip R. Siegel Class of 1963 NEW BOOKS Works of Khrushchev/ Borek, and Hall Added lo Library Shelves A major book no thinking American can afford to miss is Nikita S. Khrushchev's For Victory in Peaceful Competition with Capitalism. In its pages the Premier and First Deputy of the Soviet Union gives his "blueprint for tomorrow" as he reveals what he thinks about everything from Sputniks to "liberation" of West Berlin. American readers will be particularly interested in his unusual interpretation of history found in such statements as "The Soviet Union developed the hydrogen bomb before the United States'' and "There was never an agreement to hold free elections in Germany." Today, our most elaborate scientific · efforts are directed toward probing the vastness of space. But equally spectacular and potentially more beneficial exploration is going on within the infinitely small cell as illustrated by Dr. Ernest Borek in The Atoms Within Us. The great biochemical discoveries are discussed; how they were made, and how man's longevity and freedom from disease have grown from them. Louis Halie's Dream and Reality deals with the human nature of foreign policy. Mr. Halle, a former member of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff, writes as one who knows from personal experience that government is people. Written in a prose that makes reading a pleasure, this book covers all the aspects of American foreign policy. He is unarmed but not defenceless, for he has a deadly weaponhis tongue and his wit. He is poor, but the world is his. He is lonely, but has a million friends. Such is the hero of a novel by Leonid Solouyou e n t i t 1 e d The Enchanted Prince.

Varied Experiences Recommended For Ari Sludenls by Kajkowski by Gloria Zaludek "In art we continually search, put down what we find, then look for something better. It is the spirit of creativity that we foster." Edward Kajkowski, senior art education major and president of the Art Club, looked up from his canvas to philosophize a little about art. Ed is a realist. but has great respect for abstract art. In answer to this reporter's question, "What do you look for in an abstract painting?" Ed answered: "First check the title. If a concrete meaning or emotion is suggested, for example, 'Revolt!' then the artist has a specific, planned purpose behind his efforts. Colors would be emotional; contrast would be more pronounced; edges, jagged; movement, strong and erratic." To be a good artist one must have varied experiences. A student can often gain such experiences by working at diversified part-time jobs. Ed has done this. A former bingo caller and an employee of the Bureau of Employment Security in Nanticoke, he has also worked at the Twin Pines Dude Ranch in the Poconos. Activity is the keynot of Ed's life. In addition to serving as president of the Art Club, Ed, who will student teach next semester, is a member of the Manuscript, the Wilkes-Barre Art League, and a former member of the Chemistry Club. Unlike other student teachers who spend eight weeks in one school, art majors teach four weeks in the elementary and four in the Edward Kajkowski secondary schools. Ed has several ---------------,1->interesting views concerning art education. He says that the teaching of art does not simply involve the production of "pretty pictures".

Pointing out that federal aid to ed ucat ion is here, and here to stay, with the fe deral government now paying 80 per cent of the cost of research at universities, the SUI graduate college dean added that 95 per cent of this subsidy goes to the natural sciences. "While massive aid is clearly needed for -the research effort in the sciences , the preoccupation of the fed eral agencies with these branches of learning unquestionably brings imbalances of support into our a cademic household that we ca·n not li ve with and be true to our calling," the SUI dean said. In a n effort to develop the whole a cadem ic spectrum universities need to urge consideration of an 'Advanced Institute for Humanistic Studies' and of a 'Social Science Foundation,' Dean Weaver said. Ther e is also reason for concern lest government agencies with clearly defined practical jobs to be done divert able scholars into routine programs of testing and development, rather than leaving them free to engage in fundam ental research far more consistent with Northeastern Pennsylvania's Headquarters for College Fashions GAN THE NEW UNIVERSITYSHOP ~,.z,'"- -~t)1iaf.wt. Navy Offers Training As Sea~going Officers To Interested Seniors The Navy announced recently that college seniors interested in a training program for sea-going officers or for officers of the Navy Staff Corps are eligible to apply now for appointment to Officer Candidate School. The school, which is located in Newport, Rhode Island, provides candidates with the academic, technical , and military background necessary for Naval Service. Young men with college degrees may obtain commission after four months of schooling at Newport. In addition to a college degree, a candidate must be a citizen of the United States and between the ages of nineteen and twenty-seven. Classes convene at Newport every two months, and because of recent expansion of Officer Candidate School facilities, a greater number of candidates can now be accomodated. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes. A Navy Information Team will visit our campus next Wednesday and Thursday to conduct an informal discussion of the program as well as the numerous other officer programs a vailable to college men. This team, comprised of LCDR. Nadler and Lt. Bess Bryant, is from the Na vy Recruiting Station in Philadelphia and will be prepared to answer any questions which students may have. These officers will be in the Cafeteria on both these days.

It involved the financing of an activity sponsored by a group that is not "recognized". To be recognized, a group must have a constitution approved by Student Government and the administrative council of the college. After this they are eligible for funds allotted by the Government and for scheduling on the calendar.

Because of the cultural advantage involved, several Student Government members proposed that the Government sponsor the films under the chairmanship of Mr. Ribas, Spanish instructor. This motion was passed. Rick Rees and Bud Meneker, cochairmen of the Winter Carnival, made a report of possible locations. Buckhill Falls Inn offered the best physical set-up for winter sports, however, several other places were investigated. Another technicality was exposed when Cue and Curtain submitted an activity form with only one chaperone. The Government decided to accept it because a similar form from the theatrical group had been accepted previously. It was decided that this matter would be taken up by the calendar and poli- The Student Leaders Conference next week will give any student leader an opportunity to discuss topics of current interest.

Novice Debaters Rest; Varsity Goes to Villanova Last weekend, a novice debate team travelled to Temple University to participate in an annual novice debate tournament. This was the third tournament of the current season for the novice team and marks the end of the novices' activity until the second semester. At Temple University, the Wilkes affirmative team, composed of John Campbell and Andy Majikas, met teams from the University of Delaware, Rosemont College, the University of Maryland, and Columbia University. The negative team, composed of William ·Holmes and Pauline Bostjancic, met teams from Hunter College, George Washington University, Dartmouth College, and Holy Family College. The varsity team opens its season tomorrow at Villanova University in that school's Second Annual Invitational Debate Tournament. For this tournament, Campbell and Majikas will remain on the affirmative; Lynne Dente and Jerome Krasa make up the negative team.

In the spirit of the forthcoming season, not only will the traditional Christmas tree appear in the lobby, but, in addition, Saint Nick, in spite of an extremely busy schedule, has graciously consented to make an advance visit to Wilkes to reward all good boys and girls with favors. To further set the mood, Dean Ralston and the Lettermen will entertain with caroling during intermission. Santa's helpers responsible for organizing the affair are Donald Eller, favors; Erwin Guetig, orchestra; Thomas Pugh, invitations; Brooke Yeager, program; John Tensa, chaperones; Roger Rolfe, decorations; Paul Aquilino, tickets. The girls of Theta Delta Rho have also helped the "Merry Old Soul" by designing the table decorations, while Leonard Yoblonski and William Schwab have created the backdrop for the orchestra. Dean George Ralston, Dr. Francis Michelini, and Dr. Harold Thatcher will chaperone the affair, which will last until midnight - the witching hour, when all the magic will disappear and reality will return. Scholarships Available To Eligible Students The Student Government is now accepting applications for Student Government scholarships. These scholarships are available to any student who is not presently receiving scholarship assistance. Forms are now ready at the Student Government office and also in the office of Miss Joan Borowski, Mr. Morris' secretary. The scholarships amount to $460 and will be split into four awards and will be presented for the Spring semester. The deadline for application is January 5. A committee of Student Government members will select a list of names from the applications and these in turn will be presented to the executive council for the final decision. �2 Wll.KES COLLEGE BEACON University of Chicago Offers Fellowships lo Scholar-Teachers Herman G. Richey, Dean of the Graduate School of Education at the University of Chicago, has announced that sixty fellowships ranging in amount from $500 to $2000 have been made available for qualified college seniors who are interested in preparing for a career as a scholar-teacher in secondary schools. Recipients of the awards will enter the University's Master of Arts in Teaching program in September of 1962. According to Dr. Richey the program is designed to produce high school teachers who will be outstanding both in scholarly competence and in teaching effectiveness. This program includes up to a year of graduate study in the department of the teaching field and inquiry into the art and science of teaching, including one year as a salaried resident teacher with a reduced load. The scholar-teacher program, developed with assistance from the Ford Foundation, integrates the study of theoretical concepts, extensive practice in the art of teaching, and graduate study and research in one of twelve areas. The twelve fields for which the program provides preparation are biology, chemistry, English, French, geography, German, history, mathematics, physics, Russian, Spanish, and social studies. Students with good undergraduate records of preparation in the liberal arts and sufficient concentration for graduate study in one of the twelve teaching fields are eligible to be considered. Criteria for selection include intellectual capacity, scholarly aptitudes, and assessment of personality and other characteristics relevant to effective teaching. Additional information and application forms may be obtained from the Dean of Students, Graduate School of Education, University of Chicago, Chicago 37, Illinois. Hungry, Thirsty Explorers Gave Country Novel Place Names Ever wonder how a place got its name? Or what the name means? Writer Gary Jennings did and from his curiosity has come an article titled "Why Did They Call It That ?" which appears in the December Reader's Digest. · Among the conclusions Jennings came to during his research was that many of our early settlers wer e hungry or thirsty. This may be a natural assumption in view of the historic travails of explorers and discoverers. But Jennings bases his case on more than history; he cites such names as Bread Loaf and Sugar Loaf Mountains and Martha's Vineyard, among others as evidence of our forebears' gastronomic interest. Not merely hungry and thirsty but also tired were our early settlers, if the profligeration of names such as Kate Comfort are proper indications. Indian names, which we sunround with an air of mystery and romance, are somewhat more prosaic than we like to think. For example, the article notes, the lovely Indian word "she-ka-gong," which in transliteration became Chicago, actually means "stinking river". , .Occasionally citizens will realize the publicity value of a namechange for their community, as happened recently when the tiny community of Tightsqueeze, Va., changed its name to Fairview. Dazzled by breaking into news columns with this switch, the town fathers promptly changed the name back to Tightsqueeze and made headlines again! When last heard from the town was still called Tightsqueeze, presumably to remain so until an enterprising publicist decides the time is right for a change.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1961 STUDENT SKETCH Letter to the Editor • • • Dear Mr. Editor: Mr. Siegel's letter of last week was an ineffectual exposition of selfishness. On the whole, I agree with Mr. Siegel that "a liberal arts student is mainly interested in receiving a broad education." However, it should be obvious, even to Mr. Siegel, that so many courses are offered at Wilkes, the liberal arts student might have to carry 135 credits during his stay at Wilkes to acquire this "broad" education. If Mr. Siegel had taken the time to read the Wilkes College Bulletin, he might have saved us from the shock of his flagrant misconceptions. The truth is that "the liberal arts program is primarily concerned with individual development and with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the men who have created it and lived in it. Its studies are concerned with men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. It creates breadth and perspective as opposed to narrow skills." The purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree is not, as Mr. Siegel says, to see that "the students who are in college to receive a vocation are adequately trained for a job." As far as I am concerned, the purpose of the Bachelor of Science degree is the same as that of the Liberal Arts degree. However, most of the students I know working for a Bachelor of Science degree had decided what they would like to major in before they came to college. Because of this, _they were able to take courses in their major right from their first semester as freshmen. This does not mean that students working for Bachelor of Science degrees receive a narrow education, for they are also required to take many courses covering a wide variety of subject matter. It's just that Bachelor of Science students seem to receive a greater concentration in their major fields of endeavor during early semesters at college. Mr. Siegel is right when he says, "It is often better to have quality and not quantity," but may I further remind my friend that it is even better to have quality and quantity, both of which can be had at Wilkes. Sincerely, Michael A. Landesman Class of 1964 National Contest Will Honor All-Round Coed as Outstanding College Girl Who will be the next National College Queen? Just think, girls, it may be one of you! The annual search is on to select and honor "the nation's most outstanding college girl". All undergraduate girls, from freshmen through and including seniors, are eligible. The National College Queen is not just a "beauty queen" with charm and personality. Equally important are her academic record, her campus activities, her hobbies, and her community service. She is a typical American college girl bright, alert, and personable. There is a fabulous list of prizes at stake. The Regional winners will spend an exciting weekend in Manhattan, touring Radio City Music Hall, seeing Broadway shows, meeting celebrities, and appearing on television. The National College Queen will receive an automobile, a diamond ring, and a $500 wardrobe. So, girls, apply for an entry blank that can make you dreams come true. Just write to: National College Queen Contest Committee, Suite 1606, Paramount Building, 1501, Broadway, New York 36, New York. Classmates, fraternities, sororities, and campus clubs are able to nominate a girl as a candidate by writing to the same address. Senior Music Education Major To Give Sunday Organ Recilal by Jerry Shilanski "A man that has a taste of music, painting, or achitecture, is like one that has another sense, when compared with such as have no relish of those arts." Had you stopped at a London newstand, just 250 years ago, you would have read this statement in a little tabloid known as The Spectator rather than The Beacon. Nevertheless, where or when you read it is immaterial. The important thing is that it is appropriate today, and that it applies to a fair senior coed at Wilkes, perhaps more than any other person past or present. Nancy R. Thomas has "always been interested in music and art," therefore it is not at all urprising that she decided to major in music education when she entered college four years ago. She has devoted at least ten years of study and practice to the piano and organ. Sunday afternoon, these years of hard work will be climaxed when Nancy gives her senior music recital on the fourmanual pipe organ. The public is invited to attend. The program which includes selections from Bach, Franck, Dallier, Von Williams, and Langlais will begin at 4:00 p.m. in St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, located at 35 South Franklin Street. The recital will be under the direction of Clifford Balshaw, a member of the college music faculty and Organist and Choir Director of St. Stephen's Church.

Releases may be obtained from Dean Ralston's secretary on the second floor of Chase Hall or from Ellie Nielsen, at noon, in the Commons. Mrs. Doris Saracino, coach of the girls' basketball team, recently welcomed a gratifying turnout of 35 girls who are hopeful of attaining one of the six starting positions on the team. Four returning letter winners will form the core of the Colonelette squad. These four are Carol Rhines, Anne Ligetti, Carol Thomas, the only senior on the roster, and Regina Ritzie. Miss Ritzie was high scorer last season and, in a game with Misericordia, tossed in 34 points. The remainder of the candidates are mostly frosh. Among these are a number of fine prospects who have had experience in high school. Although, as Mrs. Saracino reports, many of the girls have not had previous varsity experience, they are all working hard to form a winning team. This afternoon at 4 the Colonelettes will journey across the river to play the Kingston High School team. This is the first of a series of pre-season exhibition games which have been scheduled to provide the girls with much-needed experience. On Monday the girls will play Coughlin High School at the Wilkes Gym at 4 p.m. and on Wednesday, Jan. 13, they travel to St. Ann's Academy for another 4 p.m. encounter. Middle Atlantic Conference competition will begin for Mrs. Saracino's charges on Jan. 4 when they travel to Moravian College for a night game. Among the other teams on their tentative schedule are Misericordia, Albright, and Muhlenberg.

The performance will begin at 8:15 p.m.; proceeds from the affair will go to the Scholarship Fund for local colleges created by the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. Students may purchase tickets for the performance from members of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Jaycees or from the Central Ticket Agency in Wilkes-Barre. The Don Cossack Group was organized in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Members of the chorus possess what is internationally considered the best of vocal and dancing talent obtainable among the White Russian emigres who escaped from Communist Russia. Their program in- Wilkes-Barre will be a varied one including Iiturgical music, folk songs, love songs, cossack battle songs, dances, and a group of English songs. In addition they will pr esent the authentic dances of the cossack regiments, national dances, and the thrilling Cossack Sword Dances, "Lezginka". Columnist Gives Views On Student Preparation Learning to earn a living is not necessarily learning how to live, feels Clyde Buzzard, Tulane Hullabaloo columnist. He comments: " ... Almost anybody can make a living these days, but almost nobody goes to the trouble of actually being alive. "How many students have seriously considered what they will do with their spare time when they get out of school? How many people have looked past the contents of their life to discover what kind of form it's going to have? Few, I'll warrant. "Don't think that I'm going to talk about well-rounded men. I prefer men with lots of corners on them. In fact the analogy would be better if I switched sexes and said I like women with curves, but not women who are all one curve. "It seems to me that universities would do well to concentrate a.little more on preparing their students to meet themselves one of these days, rather than spending the time preparing them to meet the world. "Who knows! Eventually the world might even meet them halfway."

Dean's O_ffice Announces Completion of Lounge For Women Students Freshman Coed Brings Extensive Background lo Presidential Post by Maryann Berger The women of Wilkes have been anticipating for a long time the completion of the women's lounge, and the Dean's office is happy to announce that work has been complet ed and the lounge is now ready for occupancy. Women day students may relax or study in the lounge which is located on the second floor of Pickering Hall. Highlighted by comfortabl e leather chairs in a variety of colors and pale green carpeting, it is at once r elaxing and beautiful. With the off-white walls and beige drapes the room makes one think of a peaceful haven in which to r ela x and forget everything. Another service available to the women day students at the lounge is first aid. Anv woman student needing medical ·aid is advised to call the office of the Dean of W omen and aid will be sent at once to the lounge. Voters in the freshman class recently demonstrated modem sociological trends when they elected Cathy DeAngelis president. To this reporter's knowledge, it was the first time in the history of Wilkes that a woman student was chosen head of her class. Miss DeAngelis brings to her post an extensive background in administrative duties.

Though membership is open to all students interested in German, it is not necessary to be taking German at the present time. Florence Gallagher is chairman of the group. The students are planning to sing Christmas carols at the homes of members of the group on Friday, December 22. They are also planning to have a German lunch table in the cafeteria at which German will be spoken almost exclusively. At their last meeting, Mr. Fred Krohle showed slides which he had taken on his recent tour of Europe. An informal group of twenty of the students took a trip to Philadelphia last Saturday to see Schiller's Mary Stuart. They were a ccompanied by Mr. Disque, Miss Dworski, and Mr. Ribas. Science Foundation to Aid Undergraduate Studies To meet the critical need of many educational institutions, particularly smaller colleges, for modern sci entific instructional equipment, the National Science Foundation r ecently announced a program to provide funds, on a carefully selective and matching basis, for the purchase of scientific equipment for undergraduate instruction. Colleges and universities granting science bachelors degrees may request funds to assist them in purchasing scientific equipment to be used in the laboratory or in lecture.demonstratio.n sessions. Examples of -equipment eligible for purchase under the program include microscopes, centrifuges, microtones, test eq_liipIP,ent, . and similar scientific .apparatus. . Proposals may not exceed $25thousand ii\ order that the widest possible group of departments may benefit. All grants in the program are required to be on a matching basis with at least 50 per cent of the direct costs to be incurred derived from non-Federal sources. Each institution offering the bachelor's degree in the sciences will be advised, by a letter to its president, of the maximum number of proposals which will be accepted for review. Each president will then select those disciplinary units of his school which may seek support. In those cases where r ecognition She is a registered nurse and a graduate of Scranton State Hospital. She worked last year at Columbia Medical Center in New York City. During her years in training she ser ved the area, state, and National Student Nurses Association. This association started when Cathy acted as master of ceremonies at an area talent show for the Student Nurses Association. Her next appearance came at the end of her freshman year when she presented a comedy skit about emcees at the state convention talent show. This won her an award for the best act in the show. Because of this success, she was invited to emcee the National Student Nurses Association talent shows in both Atlantic City and Miami Beach Convention Halls. These were held before estimated audiences of 5,000 to 6,000 persons. Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) elected her vice-president for the year 1959-60. She also served as chairman of the membership committee on the state level. SNAP awarded her a life-membership in their organization. This has been given to only one other woman, the founder of the Pennsylvania chapter. Cathy is presently majoring in biology with medical school in her future plans. Studying to be a doctor is a fulfillment of a long-time dream. When asked about the campaign on campus, Cathy stated, "It was a spirited campaign, one of the finest campaigns I have seen." Cathy wishes to state that Mary Leen Vannoy, h er campaign manager, "was tops, really sharp, full of ideas" when it comes to effective campaigning. She went on to say, "If all the nominees were really sincere, want to work, and will cooperate, we should really go places." " I think it's great that the students were unbiased, and I will try to prove that they were right in making this decision. There is no distinction between male and female in this capacity." of the need for improvement of the content and focus of undergraduate instruction is accompanied by adequate staffing and supported by detailed planning, the Undergraduate Instructional Scientific Equipment Program may assist by providing, on a matching basis, the necessary instructional equipment. ~- + + • + + + • • • Book & Card Marl 10 S.
