STUDENT WEEKLY WILKFS COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Vol. XXVI, No. 12 "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1961 Miner Family Donates Home To College Carols Are Recorded By Madrigal Singers For Holiday Album DR. EUGENE S. FARLEY, President President's Holiday Message It was a happy thought of the Beacon Staff to issue a special edition for the parents at Christmas time. This special issue is particularly appropriate to the season for it is a time when we relax and allow ourselves to enjoy more fully the warmth of affection within the family and among mends. It is a season when the spirits of all of us are released and are allowed to soar a bit. All of us are better for the partial release of our finer sentiments. Something of Christmas stays with us through the year and we are happier and finer because of this lingering sentiment. As the students of Wilkes turn to their homes for the Christmas season, I hope that this issue of the Beacon will convey to all parents and students, the warmth of sentiment that permeates the larger family of Wilkes College. Mrs. Farley joins with me in wishing that the warm spirit of Christmas may be yours today, and in the months to come. Campus U.N. Group Acquaints Students wilh Other Countries The members of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations have been busily engaged in many programs during the past few weeks. They recently sponsored a visit to our campus by Mr. Saodat Hosan, chief of press and public liaison of the Arab Information Center in N ew York. The purpose of Mr. Hosan's visit was to acquaint the student body with the functions of his organization. In obser vance of UN Week, the me mbers not only set up a display in the libr ary about the United Nat ions; they also arranged for Mr. David P. Haxton to appear at our student assembly program that week. Mr. Haxton, field representative of UNICEF, spoke about the vari- ous facets of UNICEF in trying to provide aid to the millions of needy women and children throughout the world. During that same week, four CCUN members attended a Rotary luncheon where they spoke on the purposes and ideals of the United Nations. Last week, three delegates from the campus chapter attended a twoday conference in New York City. The conference entitled "1961, UN Year of Crisis", featured Prime Minister Nehru of India as the pr incipal speaker. The most recent project completed was the selling of Christmas cards, the proceeds of which have been donated to the UNICEF fund. Included among future plans for this group are : the initiation of a monthly forum, a state convention, The sixteen melodious voices of the Madrigal Singers, well-known vocal group on campus, have been recorded in a selection of favorite Yuletide carols. They are available to the students of Wilkes at the Bookstore in monophonic long play Christmas albums at $3.95 each. Splashed across the front cover of t he album is a colorful scene of the carolers in front of President Farley's home on South River Street. On the back cover are printed words to the carols. Among the selections included in the album are " What Child Is This", and "Go Tell It On The Mountain". The carols are sung a cappella, except for one selection in which the carolers also play instruments. They were chosen by Mr. Richard Chapline, director of the Singers, and are also favorites of the group. The past performance of the Madrigal Singers, according to Mr. Chapline, enables them to expand into the special recording field. ' The talented job they turn in on the tape attests to their skill and practice. The songs were recorded last April by Mr. Clewell of the Public Relations Office. Members of the group are Patricia Lutz, Evelyn Platt, Diane Smith, Nancy Thomas, Christine Bialagowicz, Bonnie Jenkins, Barbara Lewis, Sharon Nunemacher, Janet Simpson, Thomas Kanas, Michael Stretanski, Walter Umla, Merrit Wheeler, Ronald Baldwin, David Jones, Eugene Kelleher, and Richard Probert. They are divided into four-part harmony, with four voices performing each of the alto, soprano, tenor, and bass parts. Amnicola Work Advances Toward May 15 Dateline Work on this year's Amnicola is now well under way and Harry Collier, this year's editor, hopes to have it available to students on or about May 15. There are 192 pages in this year's publication featuring fi ve colored pages and several tinted ones. This year's publication also includes a great deal of individual art work. Undergraduates are reminded to have their photos taken the week after the Christmas recess if they hope to be in this year's Amnicola. and a Model General Assembly. The monthly forum, to be initiated in January, would consist of a question and answer session or a panel discussion about education overseas. Participating in these forums will be exchange students from our campus and other exchange students living in the area. The state convention to be held at Wilkes sometime during the second semester will have Jerry Shi- Soulh Franklin Slreet Building Was Home of Dr. Charles Miner It was recently announced that the College has acquired the spacious Miner home, which is located at 264 South Franklin StreeL The home was occupied by the late Dr. Charles H.

Dr. Miner was the Pennsylvania Secretary of Health during the administration of Governor Pinchot, Luzerne County Director of Health during the administration of Gov. John S.

The home was built 91 years ago by Dr. Miner's father, the Honorable Charles A. Miner. He, too, had a distinguished career and was active in community development. After being r emodeled, the home will be utilized as a dormitory. Sing Along With the Music Faculty at Next Assembly Program Student Govt.

In addition to an increase in the size of this issue, copies of this newspaper are also being mailed to the parents of each member of the student body. One of the purposes of this extended effort is to acquaint the parents not only with the Beacon, but also with many other aspects of college life. It is appropriate that this issue appear during the . holiday season when many of us will have additional time available to read a little more than usual and to look around us at the occurrences which have taken place at Wilkes in the past several months. We of the Beacon staff are pleased to present and to dedicate this issue to the parents of Wilkes College students, twithout whose help, many of us would not be able to enjoy the benefits of a college education. Lose a Minute and Save a Life Save lives - not time. This slogan which has appeared frequently in the newspapers and various other communications media during the past several years becomes particularly appropriate as the holiday season draws near. All of us are busily planning and preparing for the numerous events which will take place in the next several weeks and it is a time when many of us will be doing a great deal of travelling. It is at this time that we are reminded that accidents occur not only on long distance journeys but also on short drives. Accidents may occur anywhere at anytime. You may be the world's best driver - but what about the other fellow? A note from the Traveler's Insurane Company reminds us that more than 34 % of the drivers involved in fatal accidents in 1960 were under 25 or over 65 years of age. The possibilities of hazardous driving conditions due to seasonal weather presents another problem. Although almost 84 % of the casualties in 1960 occurred in clear weather, the threat of inclement weather always heightens the possibility of accidents if the driver does not take added precautions. Overall accident statistics for 1960 also show that most fatal accidents occurred on weekends. The Christmas and New Year holiday season is a time for joy and merrymaking, but it is also a time when we must seriously consider our responsibility to ourselves and to our fellow Americans. Another Addition The recent announcement of the acquisition by the college of another building in the community has once again instilled a sense of pride and satisfaction in all who are in any way concerned with Wilkes. The building at 264 South Franklin Street, formerly the Miner residence brings the total number of college-owned properties to thirty. Mrs. Charles H. Miner, who made the contribution, and her family have long been listed among the friends of the college. Her husband, the late Dr. Charles Miner, was a prominent physician in Wyoming Valley. Her son, Charles H. Miner, Jr., has been a member of the Board of Trustees for some time and is currently serving it in the capacity of secretary. It is with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation that we extend our thanks to Mrs. Miner, for remembering the college with this generous gift. Drinking Each campus in a state where the legal drinking age is twenty-one faces the same sort of social problem; what to do about those students under the legal age who see no harm in breaking the law. In some instances the administration expressly forbids illegal drinking by any student and backs this up with a strong policing system. In other colleges the restrictions are either half-hearted or there are no restrictions at all. One of the main factors that makes the drinking situation so difficult is the lack of social ostracism for any student taking an illegal drink. What will we comply with - the law, or social norms? As long as the law is in force, we have a duty as citizens to obey it, and the right to try to change it. On this campus the following policy has been set up, "Alcoholic beverages will not be served at student affairs." This policy has the firm support of both the administration and the Student Government. Many students who are of legal age have voiced complaints because they can not drink alcoholic beverages at certain student affairs held off campus. They are reminded that as long as any one under twenty-one is in attendance at these activities, drinking in their presence is, in the words of Pennsylvania state law, "contributing to the delinquency of a minor". Anyone who does purchase or accept an alcoholic drink under these circumstanes is subject to penalty. Although less than one-fourth of the student body of this college is legally able to drink, many more students wish to and in reality do. What sort of social interaction causes this situation? Is there a social lag between present practices in society and state law? Why do certain areas such as New York State and the District of Columbia have a legal age of eighteen for the purchasing and consuming of alcoholic beverages? We can not begin to present answers to these questions, and we admit to being curious about a seemingly arbitrary setting of legal age. If there is one reason or many reasons for the setting of this legal age, an adequate explanation of them for the benefit of college students might cause more abeyance to the letter of the law. Letters To The Editor: Dear Seniors: Thank you for thinking of the linguistic development of our college. No gift will be more appreciated than the language laboratory equipment you are giving to Wilkes. We will always remember your thoughtfulness, and Wilkes students will be ever grateful to the class of 1962. Vielen Dank, mil gracias, merci infiniment. The Modern Foreign Language Department * * * To the Students and Faculty of Wilkes College: On behalf of the members and coaches of the 1961 Wilkes College football team, we would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to you for your support during the past season. Anyone who says that the spirit at Wilkes is low should have been at the games, both home and away, to see the faithful students and faculty of the college supporting the team to the fullest. It is easy for fans to follow and stand by a winning team, but through a disappointing season, you attended the games in impressive numbers. To us, this is a .show of great loyalty to your school and to your team. A team needs moral support as much as it needs spirit and precision, and you certainly gave us that moral support at all the games. Our thanks again to you all. Sincerely, Rick Rees Tom Krisulevicz Don Eller Co-captains, 1961 Wilkes College football team Senior Education Major Feels Aclivilies Augment Academic Work The tables were turned on this week's subject for the student sketch, Cynthia Hagley, when she became the interviewee instead of the interviewer. Having been a four year member of the Beacon staff, and its news editor for two years, this senior elementary education major has interviewed both faculty and students, and has skillfully written and edited many of the newspaper's articles. "Being a member of the Beacon staff has given me the opportunity to do things I otherwise would not have done," Cynthia began. "When I visited Hampton Institute in Virginia as a member of the exchange weekend program, for example, I was allowed to attend a news conference held by G. Mennen Williams, assistant Secretary of State in charge of African affairs. "When I got there," she continued, "I was overwhelmed with the fast pace and the sharp questioning period that went on. After I got used to the procedure, I posed a question to Mr. Williams myself. To my amazement the reporters there continued my line of questioning." Then there was the time in her sophomore year when, attending the Wilkes-Scranton University football game, Cynthia tried using her press card instead of paying Cynthia Hagley the admission price. "I was not - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < > only admitted to the game, but also given a seat in the press box while my fellow Wilkes students sat in LIBRARY HOURS the rain."

Season's Greetings The Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. As we near the celebration of this joyous season, let us all recall to mind these words from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol - "I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round ... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, ... I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!" WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Wrestling - C. W. Post, Away, Saturday.

All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication but those of the individuals. Cynthia recalled several other interesting incidents as a Beacon reporter: acting as lady-in-waiting to the Homecoming court for two years; covering the Richard Nixon rally on Public Square during the presidential election campaign; and doing a last minute story on the NBC coverage of Wilkes College. Our news editor has also had experience in fields other than journalism. She has been a Sunday school teacher at the Albright Evangelical Brethren Church for three years, is presently a student assistant in the library, has worked in the Public Relations office of the College, and in her first job away from home was a cooking instructor at Pine Forest camp near Lake Wallenpaupack. "One of the most important activities that I feel I have been involved in during my years at the college is the formulation of Associated Women Students on campus. I was honored when the founding committee elected me president pro tempore at the end of last year. "AWS, I believe, can give a substantial contribution to the lives of all Wilkes coeds," Cythia continued. "Never have I been involved in an organization that was so enthusiastically accepted at its start. I can only hope and work toward the goal that A WS will develop to the potential that it displays on other campuses." When this reporter asked Cynthia, who incidentally was associate editor of the Manuscript in her sophomore year, how she managed to participate in such diverse activities while maintaining her scholastic standing, she answered, "I have often wondered if it would have been better for me to concentrate all my energies on getting better grades, but I have found that when I am most involved in extra-curricular activities I get my class work done with more regularity. "I suppose it is because, with more work to do, I budget my time and get down to business." Cynthia, as an elementary education major, said that she is in this field "not only because I love children and teaching, but also because I feel this is a very crucial and ex(continued on : page 3) �wn.n:s Friday, December 15, 1961 COLLEGE BEACON Court of Appeals Presents First Decision . of The Year Popular Bookstore Manager Recalls Many College Experiences "Millie the Mole," "Mother Superior," and "Honorary Letterman" are titles which can be applied to the well-known college bookstore manager, Millie Gittins. Millie will celebrate her eighteenth year at Wilkes College next March 15. She received her title of "Millie the Mole" from Dr. Charles Reif. Dr. Reif told his class to go to the bookstore to "Millie the Mole" to buy their biology filler. They did so and the name has stuck ever since. Board of Trustees Lend Varied Experience To College Leadership A broad variety of interests and backgrounds characterize the officers of the Board of Trustees of Wilkes College. These men, both local and out-of-town residents, represent careers ranging from chairman of the board of a philanthropic institution to a retired Admiral of the United States Navy. Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Admiral Harold R. Stark is a retired United States Naval officer with an impressive past record of service to his country. A resident of Washington, D.C., the Admiral is a former commander of the European fleet during World War II and a former chief of Naval Operations. That his services were valuable is evidenced by the fact that he was kept on duty beyond retirement age at the request of Winston Churchill. Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, vice-chairman of the board, has had experience in the fields of education, business, civic service, and writing. At present, Dr. Marts is chairman of the Board of Marts and Lundy, Inc., one of the oldest and best known fund-raising firms in the nation. Miss Mildred Gittins More bewildering is the nickname, "Mother Superior." It was bestowed upon her by the male chorus when it was under the direction of Bill Peters, '59 and '60. There was a warm relationship that existed between the male chorus and Millie. Housemother to a college distribute copies of the Beacon around campus, and to transport football equipment to the athletic field. Millie says she adores the students at Wilkes and feels that they are wonderful. Millie was informed that at the age of 25 she would no longer be able to walk. However, one can see that it was not true. Millie credits this fact to her job and the students who have kept her going. Her sentiments concerning her job and her feelings for the students can be found in this quote, "If it had not been for this job, I would have sat down and died." When asked how she became an "Honorary Letterman", Millie explained that she had been active w h e n e v e r the Lettermen had dances, especially the Christmas Formal. At this dance, Millie sold tickets and pinned on the rosebuds which the girls received. In 1947, Millie's name appeared on the program of the Formal as "Millie GitThe students of Wilkes certainly tins, Honorary Letterman". She stated that the athletes are wonder- do keep her going.

Although a resident of New York, Dr. Marts has a special interest in Wilkes College. Bucknell University founded Wilkes as a junior college in Wilkes-Barre and Dr. Marts, who served as president of Bucknell from 1935-1945, inherited the problem of formulating permanent plans for this center of learning. Since he devoted so much time and energy to this problem, he became intimately involved in the progress and development of Wilkes. In his capacity as author, Dr. Marts has written Philanthropy's Role in Civilization and Man's Concern for His Fellow Man. A local attorney with a wealth of community interests, Charles H. Miner, Jr., is secretary of the board. Besides serving as Director of the Miner-Hillard Milling Co., Attorney Miner is a Director of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund, Chairman of the Community United Fund, a Vestryman of St. Stephen's Church, and past President of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. An associate of Attorney Miner in the law firm of James, Harris, McLean, Silverblatt, and Miner, Attorney James P. Harris is treasurer of the board. Attorney Harris has both business and community affiliations, including his posts as a Director of First National Bank of WilkesBarre, Harris Hardware Company, and the Forty Fort State Bank and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Y.W.C.A. Andrew J. Sordoni, former United States Senator, 1926-1938, Secretary of Commerce of Penna., 1951-1954 and a prominent industrialist of Wyoming Valley, serves as vice-chairman of the board. Reflecting his varied business interests, Senator Sordoni is the founder and president of A. J. Sordoni Foundation, Chairman of the Board of the Sordoni Construction Company, President of the American Automobile Association, Trustee of Bucknell University and is also affiliated with the Commonwealth Telephone Company, Sterling Hotel System, Harveys Lake Light Company, and the Sterling Manufacturing Company. Court Decides Solons Erred In Chemistry Club Reimbursement Monday evening's special Student Government meeting saw Jerome Krasa, chairman of the Court of Appeals, hand down the decision of the Court in the case of the Chemistry Club vs. Student Government. The Court, in a unanimous opinion, held that the Student Government "acted outside the scope of its constitutional powers" in making a reimbursement of $47.50 to the Chemistry Club. The Court also found that an additional reimbursement of $125 asked for by the Chemistry Club would be outside the provisions of the Student Government Constitution. Krasa, in explaining the Court's decision, recalled that the case arose out of a Friday night dance date deficit of $47.50. The Chemistry Club alleges that the loss was sustained because of the interference of an unauthorized, offcampus activity, which they cont end, was held on the same Friday evening as the one granted them by the Student Government. Claiming that the Student Government is the authorized agent of the student body, the Chemistry Club petitioned the solons not only to accept the responsibility for the loss sustained, but also to reimburse them for the expected profit from the dance. The Student Government, after considering the Chemistry Club's petition, decided to reimburse the · club for the loss it sustained in the dance failure, but, at the same time, refused to reimburse the club for its expected profit. Jerome Krasa The Chemistry Club, not satis________________.,._fied with what it claimed was a shirking of full responsibility on the part of the Student Government, took the case to the Court of Appeals.

College Adds Logic Course To All Degree Programs Major change in this year's curriculum at Loras College is the addition of logic as a requirement for both B.A. and B.S. degrees. Ethics, which was formerly required of all juniors, will now be required of ecclesiastical students only. Logic will no longer apply to the 24 hours required for a major in philosophy, and both logic and general ethics will be offefed each semester, effective with this year's junior class. �WlLIES OOLI.BlE BEACON KAMPUS KAMERA Christmas at Home and Abroad The holiday season, which is now upon us, has various meanings to nearly every American. It is a religious observance as well as a period of merry-making and secular festivities. It is a time of the year which is steeped in tradition, rich in sentiment, and mingled with feelings of reverance and materialism. We as Americans have observed our holidays year after year, taking them for granted, until many of us can no longer evaluate the significance of their observance. Therefore, The Beacon has asked four of the college's students, who come from lands across both oceans, to evaluate, to compare, or to contrast the American Christmas and New Year's season with similar holidays in their own countries. Pericles Spyropolous, a native of Platy, Calarnata, Greece, is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church. Perry, as he is known on campus, is a 23-year-old senior psychology major who has spent five holiday seasons in the United States. He observed that in America these holidays have more commercial significance than in Greece. According to Perry, the Greeks celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ and there is more emphasis placed on the religious aspects of the holiday. Perry attributes this to the fact that in America there are so many religious sects and thus a more liberal outlook than in Greece where seven out of eight million people adhere to the Greek Orthodox faith and the Church has a greater influence. Perry also remarked that "Christmas trees are not too common but that nearly every home displays religious pictures and a decorated oil lamp chandelier. Hornes are not bedecked along the streets. "We do have parties and social affairs but not to as great an extent as you," he suggested. "Gift giving does occur, but, again, it is on a smaller scale and Saint Basil, the Greek counterpart of Santa Claus, comes on New Year's Eve to bring gifts to good children and to bless the family and the home for the forthcoming year." Sonjo Shoyinka, whose home is in Abeokuta, Nigeria, is 28 years old and is a junior economics major. Sonjo has been in the United States for four years, two of which he has spent at Wilkes. Raised as a Christian (Baptist) in a country that has a population divided into three religious groups - 40 per cent Christian, 50 per cent Moslem, and 10 per cent classified as others - Sonjo has observed that there is much similarity between the way his country celebrates and the way we do. He pointed out that both have been influenced by British traditions. "In Nigeria, Christmas and New Year's have become more or less national holidays which are celebrated by the Moslerns and pagans who participate in the socializing even though they do not accept the religious significance." "Christmas Day is usually observed (by the Christians) by going to church and praying, by staying at home for a dinner of fowl, or by going to the beach and relaxing in the warm tropical sun." According to Sonjo, Christmas songs are sung by groups and played over the radio stations in both English and the native languages, and Father Christmas may make an appearance with gifts for the children. Jnghae Kirn, of PoHang, Korea, is a sophomore who is enrolled in the Commerce and Finance curriculum and is majoring in Business Administration. "Kim", as he is known by his fellow students, came to Wilkes nearly two years ago after serving for a number of years as an officer in the army of the Republic of Korea. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church. "I have spent only one Christmas in this country and I cannot tell whether or not the people have the real Christmas spirit that they should have," Kirn remarked. "With all the luxurious Christmas a ctivities it seems more like a national holiday to all people rather than a church festival for people who believe in Christ and wish to observe his birthday." Kirn continued by saying that "In Korea only the Christian population celebrate the holiday and there is no particular way to celebrate. It depends on how the person feels in his heart." Although there are no elaborate decorations in the stores or homes, some may use a small pine tree or a wreath to add to the festivities. Santa Claus Halapuji, as he is called by Korean children, is expected to make an appearance on Christmas Day. Halapuji means grandfather in the Korean language and he is affectionately referred to by all three names, obviously becuse of his elderly appearance. Eliud Wechira Kabungo, a citizen of Nyeri, Kenya, is a 27-year-old Business Administration major. He has been in the United States for 14 months and is now a sophomore at the college. Eliud has been schooled as both a Catholic and Protestant and refers to himself as a non-denominational Christian. Eliud said that he was amazed by all the fabulous decorations, lights, and trees which are only found in the very large cities of Kenya, such as Nairobi. Flowers are plentiful and they are used extensively in the streets and homes. He also observed that the preparation for the holiday season begins very early in the United States as compared to the ten days of preparation in his country. During these ten days the decorations are put up and the singing of carols is common. "In a country which has only a 40 per cent Christian population (the remaining 60 per cent of the population adhere to the Moslem or other local religions) nearly everyone knows what the holiday is and participates in the celebration of it. The government has even proclaimed "Siku Kuu" (meaning "great day" in Swahili) as a national holiday. It is a day of rest and enjoyment which is eagerly anticipated by the whole country. The customs have caught on quite fast for everyone, but the Christians do regard it as a holy day and they do have services. We have adopted many of the western ways from the British." Eliud concluded with a comment that because Kenya is located in the southern hemisphere the holiday season comes during the summer and naturally there is no such thing as a "White Christmas". Friday, December 15, 1961 "College Challenge", Sunday TV Program, Brings College Aims and Views lo Community One of the many ways the college keeps in contact with the community is through its bi-monthly Sunday afternoon program on Channel 16. The program, in its second successful year, is televised from 1-1:30 p.m. Two basic aims of the program are to inform area residents of the role of the college in the community and to encourage students to make their education a living experience. Through television which reaches a wider audience than other media, the program emphasizes the role education, a basic thread of the fabric of society, plays in the development of a free culture. In addition, the program focuses attention on the importance of the freedom of inquiry. This program, which is not restricted in either ideas or subject matter, gives parents and other members of the community the opportunity to critically examine the college, its goals, and the role of its students. In addition, students and faculty members are able to analyze and discuss contemporary and pertinent ideas of a varied nature. In the past, programs have featured Mayor Frank Slattery of WilkesBarre, the Industrial Fund Committee, and high school teachers. Mr. Alfred Groh, the program's moderator, after consultation with Dr. Farley, members of the faculty, and student leaders, determines the nature of the programs. The students who appear on the programs are selected because of their interest in the topic under discussion. The varied program formats develop from student interests, faculty suggestions, and campus activities. Program time is donated by Station WNEP-TV as a public service in compliance with requirements of the Federal Communications Commission. The Wilkes program alternates with a similar program presented by the University of Scranton. AWS Recognized by Student Government; Fashion Show Planned Mr. Alfred Groh Last year, Groh prepared the entire series before the first program was presented; this year, however, he prepares only two or three programs in advance. Each program is the result of from two or three weeks preparation. This year the format of the show is more flexible and gives the college personnel a greater opportunity to appear on the program. For instance, this week Mr. Groh and Dr. Stanko Vujica will discuss Dr. Vujica's recent experiences in Asia. This program will emphasize the need for the development of an awareness of the thoughts and customs of emerging groups in Asia. This subject, as the other topics presented, is of general knowledge; yet it is directed toward an audience with a knowledge of the subject. The conversation of each program is spontaneous, but Mr. Groh does familiarize himself with the subject and meets the other participants before broadcast time to determine the scope of the program. This is in keeping with the spirit of the programs which is to be both educational and entertaining. Mr. Groh's introduction and closing is written and timed, but the rest of the program is unrehearsed. None of the participants know what questions will be asked on the •program, although similar questions have been raised in the pre-program meetings. The program attracts a wide audience which has indicated that the program is valuable and deepens their appreciation of the college's goals. In addition to Groh's bi-monthly program, 'Pop' Clewell of the Public Relations Office conducts the local five minute segment of the 'Today' show called the 'Wilkes College Capsule'. This is the first year Clewell has conducted the program for the college. As the Sunday program, Clewell's 'Capsule' program, seen every Tuesday morning at 8 :25 a.m., not only keeps the community informed of college activities, but is also a public service feature for other organizations who want to spread information through the community. The program often introduces members of various student organizations and highlights college special events. The 'Capsule' program is flexible and the format varies from general topics of interest to conversations with students and other figures of interest. Clewell plans and carries out the program, which features the role of the college in community growth. The content of the program, of course, depends upon current happenings at the college and iR the community before the show is televised, because of the shortness of the program, Clewell discusses the topic with the guests who will appear. Channel 28 donates time to the college as a public service and cooperates in carrying out the program. Labor-Management-Citizens Group Has Reduced Area Labor Friction To compile a list of the men and women of the college, members of administration and faculty, who are active community, state, and national leaders would be a seemingly endless task; similarly lengthy would be an enumeration of the area organizations these men and women have initiated and directed. Typical of these community organizations and their leaders is the Labor-Management-Citizens Committee and its executive director, Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg, chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department at Wilkes. Although Associated W o m en Students is a fairly young organization, it has already made plans to do many worthwhile projects on the campus. A WS, of which all women students are members, has already sponsored a breakfast honoring Dr. Farley on the anniversary of his twenty-fifth year at Wilkes, and it has a full calendar of events Dr. Rosenberg, a Wilkes profesplanned for the future. sor since 1948, was one of the Recently, the Constitution of founders of the Committee whose A WS was voted on and passed by aim is first and foremost to rnediStudent Government, and A WS is ate disputes arising out of area now recognized as an on campus industrial relations. organization.

In the first year of its existence the Committee successfully rnediated six industrial disputes, and, last year, of 17 local labor disputes, the Committee successfully mediated 12 and, through its advice and counsel, assisted in resolving another. The members of the Committee, in assisting both management and national unions representing teamsters, carpenters, textile and garment workers, steel workers, and food employees, have had to be as completely impartial as is possible. That they have been successful in this area is evidenced by a recent case in which both parties felt that the Commit.tee's mediators were on their side! As the guiding force behind this impartiality, Dr. Rosenberg's success as a director and mediator can be seen in the letters of appreciation he has received from both labor and management representatives. In one letter, a management representative praised Dr. Rosenberg's " ... magnificent, competent, constructive assistance,'' and, still speaking of Dr. Rosenberg, went on to say that " ... it is a credit to the community . . . and the Com(continued on page 5) �Friday, ·December -15, 1961 s WILIES COLLF.GE BEACON Shulla Sisters Describe Life, Future As Identical Twins Four Classes Make Arrangements simple yet elo- For Next Semester's Activities "It's never 'I', it's always 'we'!" With this quent statement Loretta and Lorraine Shutta describe the sometimes joyful, sometimes frustrating life of being identical twins. Biologists tell us that whereas fraternal twins are no more similar than ordinary brothers and sisters, there is an irrevocable bond between identical twins, who have sprung up from the same "seed of life." This theory has, until recently, held true for Lorraine and Loretta. Lorraine and Loretta Shutta Both girls, enrolled in commercial curriculum at Newport Township High School and the business education curriculum at Wilkes, have the same taste in clothing - on occasion they have bought the same dress independent of each other, and admire the same men - a fact which they have always resolved peacefully. These coinciding interests, along with their common heritage, has brought them a warm, close relationship, not shared by the other three children of the Shutta household. As Loretta expresses it, "Often, upon revealing one of my thoughts to Lorraine, I discover that she has been thinking the same thing at the same time." ·Both agree that this aspect of having someone really understand how you feel is one of the joys of being a twin. There is such a striking resemblance between the girls that casual acquaintances find it difficult to tell them ·apart. They are often mistaken for each other. . Being identical is very handy at times, since they can stand-in for -each other at interviews and appointments, although as . Lorraine says "sometimes you have to ad lib furiously." But along with these comforting and amusing aspects of "twinship" comes a sometimes disturbing one. In the words of Loretta - " I strive vainly to establish my own individuality. I am a unique person with my own personality, desires, and goals and yet I find that most people consider Lorraine and I as one and the same. This is sometimes very frustrating." In their quest for individuality, the two girls have recently taken different paths. Lorraine has graciously given the Beacon a scoop with this first official announcement of her recent engagement to A. Francis Riofski, a Miners Mills native. Tentative plans for a summer wedding dominate Lorraine's life at the present time, although she intends to teach locally. Any free time she might have is usually spent with Frank with whom she enjoys movies, dances, picnics, excursions, and experimenting with new types of food. Loretta, on the other hand, who has worked with the law firm of James Hiscox and William A. Degillio for the past four years while attending Wilkes, has developed an avid interest in the field of criminal law. In her capacity as secretary to the above men, she has come into contact with the workings, the people, the . "challenge in presenting your case", and the "feeling of Can you tell them apart? elation upon success" of the legal profession. Her success in coping with the problems of the legal profession led to her recent appointment as a standing commissioner by Judge Frank L. Pinola. This will entail administering oaths and taking depositions in trials, causes, cases, motions, rules, petitions, and other matters that may be brought before the caurt and will involve Loretta even more deeply in the profession that she so enjoys. She rejects the idea that there is anything unsavory about the idea of criminal law and holds the firm belief of our courts that a man is innocent until proven guilty. When queried about the problem of a woman in what is predominantly a male profession, Loretta jokingly replied that the biggest problem she anticipated encountering was wielding large record books when doing title searches. But she does recognize the inherent danger of losing her femininity while searching for success in the legal profession. This ever-present problem she feels can be overcome with a little effort and thought. Although as you can see, Lorraine and Loretta have, of late, swerved from the path of similarity, they join once again on their high opinion of the Business Education Department of Wilkes College and contend that they have profited enormously from their relationships here. Senior Class The seniors have decided to donate equipment to the school for a portable language laboratory. The vote was taken after a lengthy discussion at the recent class meeting. Besides the laboratory equipment, there were two other main choices for the class to choose from. One was the suggestion to buy several portable microfilm projectors for the library. Another was to install a cauliphone in the library and a starter record collection. Other suggestions included: typewriters for the typing room of the library, a sixteen millimeter projector for Parrish Hall, two water fountains for the second and third floors of the library, and the down payment on a parking ramp. Bud Menaker presented the Student Government report. He explained the new policy of obtaining activities forms for any social event involving Wilkes students, whether it is closed or opened, on campus or off campus. Menaker polled the class to find out how many seniors would support a dry Winter Carnival and it was estimated that about onefourth signified support. He then discussed the possibility of extending library hours, and, by a show of hands, the class demonstrated their majority approval. Junior Class Brent O'Connell, junior class president, received word yesterday that due to scheduling difficulties, the Brothers Four will be unable to fulfill their concert date on March 31. The concert committee will meet soon to act on this latest development, and will keep class members informed on committee progress. Plans for the annual class dinnerdance were also discussed. Febru- Emmel, Kocher Take Test To Improve License Status Last week Richard Emmel and Dave Kocher, members of the Radio Club at Wilkes, took the Technician Class exam of the Federal Communications Commission. The boys are awaiting the results of the test. If Emmel and Kocher pass the exam, they will receive a license which will enable them to broadcast by using higher frequencies. Novice exams are being given today for the unlicensed members of the Radio Club in the Radio room in Pickering Hall. Most members of the club will become licensed amateurs. ary 26 has been selected as the tentative date subject to approval by the Student Government cal endar committee. A future class meeting will provide more information on this affair. Paul Emmert reported that class rings would probably be received on Wednesday, December 13, and could be obtained from him during the rest of the week. After Friday, December 15, however, those who have not received their rings will have to get them from the Balfour Co. located on the sixth floor of the Miners National Bank Building in room 626. Sophomore Class Two upcoming activities of the sophomore class were discussed at a recent meeting. President James Jones announced that the Donkey Basketball Game is scheduled for March 15 but that no definite plans have yet been formulated for the game. Following this, the members of the class in attendance voted to hold a dinner-dance possibly at the end of April. Class officials are now in the process of selecting a suitable location for the affair. Following the example of the senior class the sophomores also made some long-range plans to conduct an assembly program next year. Freshman Class Recently the Wilkes College campus was ablaze with colorful and amusing posters as sixty or more nominees campaigned vigorously for offices in the Freshman class. Voting day arrived, and the candidates waited anxiously for the results to be posted on the bulletin board. Emerging victorious was Cathy DeAngelis, who fought a gallant battle for the office of president. She is the first girl to be elected president of her class at Wilkes. Th Oth e • er officers are: Bobby Segler, vice-president; Joan Davis, secretary; a nd Robert Dew, treasurer. Capturing the sought for seats on Student Government Gloria Lewis Je B •d a~e: Mostello.

The class donations amounted to $157. At a recent class meetin.,. the Constitution of the Class of 1965 was unanimously approved by the Freshman class. Also discussed was the selecting- of Class Historian, Pa_rliamentarian, and Executive Council. The president of the class announced that a paper would be placed on the bulletin board near the Commons, and anyone interested in serving on the Executive Council should sign there. From this list the council would be selected. A report was given on the Winter Carnival to be held on February 1. Also discussed were how many students would be interested in going and how many would be in favor of the Student Government hiring a bus for the Carni val? It was found that many of those planning to attend would prefer to have transportation furnished; rather than depending on private cars. Mike Mostello, Student Government Representative, also asked for suggestions as to where the Carnival could be held. I Playing for Pleasure Brings Gain To Three Men from Warner Hall Community¥ College Celebrate Dr. Farley's 25th Anniversary Recently Dr. Eugene S. Farley, President of Wilkes College, was honored by both the community and the student body on the anniversary of his twenty-fifth year of serving Wilkes. At nine o'clock in the morning of the day of the celebration, Dr. Farley was entertained at a breakfast in the Adams Room of the Hotel Sterling. This affair was sponsored by the Associated Women Students of Wilkes. Later that morning, the Wilkes College Band entertained Dr. Farley and his wife in front of their home with a medley of songs. At this time, Dr. Farley was presented with a scroll containing the names of students at Wilkes. Ed Rogalski presented this scroll to Dr. Farley on behalf of the student body. Highlighting the memorable day was a testimonial dinner for Dr. Farley at the Wilkes College Gym. The band played outside the gym to entertain members of the community attending this affair. Jesse Choper, a former graduate of Wilkes, was toastmaster of this aff air, and he presented Dr. Farley with a new Pontiac on behalf of the community for a job well-done. Choper is presently an assistant professor of law at the University of Minnesota and last year served as law clerk to Chief Justice Earl The Warner Trio - Bob King, George Evancho, and Ron Borek Three men from Warner Hall '. boys are interested in - folk mustarted "pickin' around together" sic. on their guitars last February.

The Faculty Women of Wilkes were · present to help in the pouring of · tea. They were assisted in serving refreshments by Rowena Simms, Jean Mattern and other members of the refreshment committee. Entertainment included the singing of Christmas Carols by the Collegians and several piano selectfons by Mrs. Farley. . According to Jane Woolbert, general chairman of the affair, due to the efforts put forth by the members . of TDR and the Lettermen who provided the transportation, the party was enjoyed by all. Theta Delta Rho also held its annual Christmas buffet Wednesday ·e vening in the Commons for its members and invited guests. The Lettermen's Christmas Formal - A prelude to the holidays A Man's Christmas at Bennett Hall Lettermen's Formal The Lettermen added to the holiday gaiety by sponsoring the annual Christmas Formal last Friday evening in the gymnasium. In the make-believe atmosphere of a candy-cane heaven, couples whirled until midnight. They were received by members of the administration, faculty, and chairmen of the affair who are shown in the picture. Assembly Program Yesterday's assembly program featured selections by the college Chorus and the Madriagl Singers directed by Mr. Richard Chapline. They were accompanied by the Brass Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Larry Weed. The finale, with excerpts from "The Gloria" of the Puccini Mass, concluded a program of readings of the prophecies of the Old Testament interspersed with carols and selected Christmas music. A specially recorded album entitled "Christmas at Wilkes College" was released recently for sale on campus. The Madrigal Singers taped their favorite program of Christmas music last April. The album cover is a four-color scene of the Madrigals participating- in a carol sing. Students Carol Speaking of caroling, last evening students gathered to serenade dormitory residents, guests at the convalescent home of South Franklin Street, and Dr. and Mrs. Farley. After this caroling session, the students joined their fellow celebrants of the holiday season at the InterDormitory Council Christmas party in the Commons. They danced to the music of the Eddie Shore Quintet and were treated to free .refreshments. Spanish Club Plans Program THE DOZER • • • A little com is a good thing once In a while.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety warns that drowsiness and highway hypnosis are common problems to freeway drivers. As a safeguard, stop every 100 miles or so for a coffee break and a stretch. One of the new clubs on campus is the Spanish Club, which holds its meetings on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. in Chapman Hall. The faculty advisor is Mr. Jose Ribas who is a native of Spain. With the aid of a Fulbright Scholarship, Mr. Ribas has been living and teaching in the United States for approximately two years. At the past meetings the members have had informal discussions in Spanish, about such things as hazing and Homecoming at Wilkes. Also, Mr. Ribas has led some discussions about the customs and politics of his native land. To plan a program for each meeting, a committee of five people has been appointed.

Advice Given on Final Touches for Mistletoe Season �Friday, December 15, 1961 WILXES COLLEGE BEACON 7 Wilkes Open Provides Holiday Feature Outstanding Wrestlers Headline 'Rose Bowl', Past Champions Enter One of the country's feature wrestling attractions, the Wilkes College Open Wrestling Tournament, will take place for the 30th time on December 28 and 29 at the Wilkes College Gymnasium. A record turnout of 350 wrestlers is expected. An indication of the tournament's popularity is the fact that the 350 wrestlers hail from 65 universities, colleges, and athletic clubs and 24 different states. Such countries as Canada, Japan, Iran and Hungary are also represented. The nation's largest wrestling tournament will attract some of the most famous names in current amateur wrestling. Gray Simons, the 1962 NCAA 123 pound champion and outstanding wrestler, returns to this year's tourney as does the Pan American 147 pound champion, Frank Bettucci; the Middle Atlantic champ of the past three years at 177, Mike Pacilio; and the outstanding wrestler of last year's open, Carmen Malino. Other returning winners of last year's Wilkes tournament are Charles Bush at 115 and Ron Dellapina at 147. The Bruce Blackman Memorial honoring the late sports editor of Times-Leader Evening News who actively supported the open tournament and who was an avid wrestling fan will again be awarded to the outstanding wrestler. Four wrestling sessions will be divided over the two-day period including preliminaries, consolations and finals. A wrestling clinic was held for over 300 high school wrestlers by some of the nation's foremost wrestling coaches and a banquet are additional features of the tournament. HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING CLINC - Above are some scenes from last year's Wrestling Clinic for high school wrestlers. This event takes place each year in conjunction with the Wilkes Open Tournament. Ray Sparks, Director of Athletics at Springfield College in Massachusetts, is chairman of the event. He has announced that more than 300 high school matmen will attend, as invitations have been extended to schools throughout Pennsylvania. History of Wilkes Open Tourney Traces to Central YMCA Matches Wilkes College becomes the "center of the wrestling world" on December 28 and 29 as more than 350 of the nation's outstanding matmen vie for the ten individual championships of the Wilkes Open. Sixtyfive of the East's top teams will attempt to annex the coveted team trophy. Pitt, Michigan, and New York Athleic Club have saged a fierce battle for the title in the past five years with Pitt winning the honors in las year's Open. Two of the outstanding features of the tourney are the caliber and number of the competitors. The Wilkes Open is the largest wrestling tournament in the United States. Last year the competition drew 321 wrestlers from 65 colleges while the NCAA and NAIA "outstanding wrestler", Doug Blubaugh, 1960 Olympic champion and "outstanding wrestler", and 1959 NCAA "outstanding wrestler" Dave Auble typify the caliber of wrestlers found in the Open each year.

Each year the tqurnament has grown until it has reached its present status as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling", the finest wrestling tourney in the United States. The college and post-college wrestlers use the tourney as a training ground for the Olympics. Furthermore, it is used as a training ground for some of the nation's top wrestling officials who contribute their services as do the officials and timers. Acceptance throughout the country of this event is evidenced by the statements of noted wrestling authorities, such as Robert Pickett, President of the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association, who believes "The annual WINTER SPORTS SCHEDULE Wilkes Tournament is one of the finest of wrestling tournaments of Basketball Dec .. 14 Susquehanna Away the season."

Doubleheader �WIL1CFS COLLEGE BEACON 8 Friday, December 15, 1961 Colonel Cagers Drop Two Games Ithaca, Scranton Top Colonels In the Week's Basketball Games The Colonel cagers took it on the chin twice last week as they faltered from a lack of height and dropped games to Ithaca and Scranton. The squad had to play without Dick Morgan in both contests and showed the lack of an experienced bench as the team was worn down by their taller opponents and then had a fresh squad of "road-runners" put in against them. A combination of Harvey Rosen and John Moore kept the Colonels in the game against the Bombers. Rosen continued his scoring with a 22 point outburst while Moore came to life against opponents who towered over him by five inches and dropped in 21 counters. Moore carried the club in the first half with 16 points while Rosen took up the slack in the second half with 16 counters. Bob Fleming continued to impress Colonel partisans with his topnotch work on offense. Against Ithaca he dunked five straight baskets. to keep his team in contention. Joe McAndrew and Tom Pugh carried the brunt of Wilkes' defensive load with their rebounding and ball-hawking tactics. Dave Lieb looked like a real comer with his ball-handling and sharp jump-shot in his brief entrance in the game. The University of S c ran ton Royals ruined the Wilkes College basketball debut by fashioning a 91-82 victory over the Colonels. This was the fourth consecutive loss for the Wilkesmen but the last three were heartbreakers as the Colonels had to overcome · a definite height disadvantage in all the games. The story was the same in this game as the Wilkesmen were shorter than the Royals by more than five inches per man. This disadvantage had to be overcome with hustle and good play. The Colonels fell behind in the opening minutes as Tom Foley hit on three baskets for a 10-4 margin. The height advantage played an important bit in this period as the Royals got three and four shots on each basket while the Colonels were forced to hit on their first shot. Midway in the initial quarter the Colonels cut the margin to five points before Bud Cooper led a Royal spurt with two buckets. Halftime score found the Royals Rosen scores against Royals leading, 44-36.

Faculty Five, Shawneeites Win lnlramural Basketball Openers Intramural basketball made its 1961-62 debut at Wilkes on Monday evening with the hoopsters playing six contests. Pre-season favorites Butler Hall and Gore Hall captured opening rounds in the dorm league. The Faculty Five opened their campaign with a cliff-hanging win over the Jets, while the Playboys and Shawneeites knotted their opening victories. Butler Hall ran roughshod over Warner Hall, 64-30. Ted TravisBey and Joe KrKuczek led the Butlermen with 19 and 16 point outbursts. Ron Musselman and Erwin Guetig controlled the backboards at the taller "Hoovermen" won with ease. Borick led Warner with 19 points while Roger Rolfe added eight. A smooth-moving Gore team made good use of their experience in dumping Barre, 63-30. Larry Gubanich led the Goremen with 12 points while Al Gubanich and Paul Aquilino added 11 each. John Adams played the rebounding role for the victors as coach Dick Morgan emptied his bench early in the game. Douglas led Barre with 16 points. • •• Hollenback Hall, laboring without Jerry Mohn, won their opener over Ashley, 34-22.

Barry Bryant and George Tensa combined for 16 points while producing the rebounding power for the victors. Phil Zackery led the Heads with 13 points as Foy added 12 to their cause. The Faculty Five had their hands full with the Jets before putting on a late spurt to mold a 31-26 win. Jim Ferris was the outstanding player on the floor as he put 10 goals and a foul through the hoop for a 21 point evening. Mike Dydo scored seven points in the winning cause. "Jazz John" Lore threw in five goals to lead the Jets while Ron Grohowski scored six points. Top defensive play by Marv Antinnes and Len Kibildis highlighted the play.

Brooke Yeager perienced on the whole, with only two lettermen returning from last year's team. The 1960-61 group turned in a 10-0 record in winning their fifth consecutive MAC title. The two veterans are Brooke Yeager and Ted Toluba. Yeager was outstanding wrestler in last year's MAC tourney while winning the 123 pound title. Toluba was 167-pound champion two years ago and took third in the tourney last year in the 167-pound class. One spot giving Coach Reese trouble is the heavyweight division. So far, the berth is wide open and anyone who can handle the chore will be received with open arms, or should we say grappling hooks? The 130-pound entry will be Dave Puerta, a scrappy sophomore who got into varsity action last year before Dick Stauffer returned to the mat wars. Ron Henney, former Meyers grappler, will carry the Colonel hopes in the 137-pound class. Freshman Bob Ziegler will be in the 167-pound slot and Coach Reese hopes the former Allentown matman can take up where Marty Strayer left off. Bob Ainsworth will carry the 177-pound hopes if he recovers from his multiple injuries in time. While Wilkes will rely on newcomers to carry their cause, the C. W. Post matmen will be full of veterans. This will be the fourth meet for the Pioneers while the Colonels will go to the mats for the first time this season. Leading the Pioneers will be Metropolitan Champions Mike Spetko and Gene Niedzielski. Both are juniors and seem to give Post the strongest heavyweights in the East. The lightweights are not definite as they have depth two deep in each weight class. The Pioneers have been battling for top rating in the East and a win over the Colonels would put them on top.

In view of the team's performances in the initial contests of the season, the above assertion becomes an absurd understatement. A number of factors enter into this basketball degeneracy. Already suffering from a lack of height and bench strength, the team has now suffered the loss of guard Dick Morgan through injury. Last Thursday in a practice scrimmage, Dick sustained a reinjury of a soccer wound. His left kneecap snapped out of joint and caused the rupture of fluid cavities in the knee. This condition is aggravated by calcium deposits in the same joint. Dick will be lost to the team for an indefinite period of time and as of this writing he has not yet received all of the medical reports. Dick's failure to appear in uniform has already had a marked effect on the team's play. Morgan was team floor leader and the best playmaker on the roster. He performed exceptionally well in the Albright game as he held Little All-American Tom Pearsal to 13 points and scored 12 tallies himself. His fiery play and determined spirit tends to inspire the Colonel five. His presence on the court has driven the team to performances beyond those which may be expected from players of their physical potentialities. 'All-American' Honors Accorded Jim Brunza, Senior Colonel Guard National recognition has been accorded Wilkes College in the selection of James Brunza to the second team of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Little All-American football squad. The players nominated to this all-star aggregation are selected from the 325 NAIA-affiliated small colleges throughout the nation. Jim was named as a tackle on the offensive second team, as both offensive and defensive units are chosen. The fact that member schools are authorized to use free substitution has brought about the selection of separate offensive and defensive units. The players are nominated by NAIA coaches and cross-checked with the selections of coaches of teams opposing the particular player during the season. The week to week performances of Jim may not be termed spectacular, but he played steady, aggressive football, while not attracting the attention of the fans. A right tackle, the 5'11", 200 pound Kingston High School graduate however has received much attention from the sports writers who follow the small college contests. As a result of this he was named to the ECAC Team of the Week on several occasions. 9 Experls Predicl Bowl Oulcomes, Choose Georgia Tech Over Lions This week the Sports Staff departs from its usual conservative position and ventures to predict its outcome of the major college bowl games. For this astounding feat of mysticism and wizardry we selected a board of experts in the field of college football from among the faculty and student body. These people collaborated with us in arriving at our predictions. The participating prognosticators were Steve Phillips, eminent football scholar and historian; . Barry Bryant, outstanding Plymouth dart shooter; Tom Pugh, a member of the champion intramural jaialai team; Arthur Hoover, sports publicity director and fan; Fran Mikolanis, bartender; Barbara Lore, girl; and Mary Fran Barone, another girl. The Beacon Sports Department, composed of George Tensa, Dale Jones, and Jim Jackiewicz, rounds out the lfst of experts. It is quite evident that, by virtue of their apparent qualifications, this group is splendidly equipped to forecast the outcome of the bowl games. · The first contest we considered is to.m orrow's Bluebonnet Bowl, which pits the Owls of Rice Institute against the Jayhawks of l(ansas University. This match figures to be a wide-open affair as both teams are capable of generating powerful offensive threats. However the running of Kansas speedsters John Hadl and Bert Coan should prove to be too much for the Owl defense. We pick Kansas to beat Rice, 26-i0. Another major game to be played tomorrow finds the Orangemen of Syracuse University host to the University of Miami Hurricanes in the Liberty Bowl at Philadelphia. After considering the capabilities of both elevens, we come up with Syracuse topping the Hurricanes in the cold of Philadelphia. The quarterback-end combination of Mira and Miller will not be enough to overcome the spectacular running of Heisman trophy winner Ernie Davis. Syracuse will crush Miami, 20-7. In the Gator Bowl game which is to be played at Jacksonville, Florida, the Georgia Tech Engineers will best the Nittany Lions of Penn State. Tech's defense has been superb all season as they allowed only 43 points in nine games and they did not allow more than one touchdown in any game. The place-kicking of Don Jonas might keep State in the game. Georgia Tech will stop Penn State, 14-10. Next we turn to the New Year's Day classics. The Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas finds the University of Texas clashing with the Mississippi Rebels. Coach Johnny Vaught's Rebels will find it difficult to overcome the high-scoring 'fexas team led by All-American halfback Jimmy Saxton. In a wild game Texas will outscore Mississippi, 34-26. The Sugar Bowl contest will match University of Alabama's Crimtopson Tide with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks. Boasting the top defense in the nation Coach Bear Bryant's tide will stymie the flashy running of Arkansas' Lance Alworth. The Alabama offensive machine has produced lopsided victories for the tide all season. Alabama will blast the Razorbacks, 27-12. Miami, Florida will be the scene of the Orange Bowl game. The University of Colorado's Buffaloes will collide with Paul Dietzel's LSU Tigers. Louisiana State has a formidable defensive squad and should stop the Buff attack. Although Colorado will display the talent of their two All-Americans, end Jerry Hillebrand and tackle Joe Romig, they will succumb to the Tigers, 17-7. The Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, California provides us with our final remarkable prediction. In this classic the Gophers of the University of Minnesota invade the lair of the UCLA Bruins. The Gophers will be eager to reverse last year's loss to the University of Washington in the Rose Bowl. Led by All-American quarterback Sandy Stephens, Minnesota will defeat the U clans, 20-8. These forecasts have been made by means of voluminous research, mathematical formulas of a staggering magnitude, and guessing. Besides these methods of prediction we also read the Beacon with unerring regularity. Perhaps his finest effort of the season was against the Bears of Ursinus College. In this contest Jim appeared always to be on hand to smash down any Bear ballcarrier who tried to breach the tough Wilkes line. He earned Dick Morgan Beacon Athlete of the Week honors Dick has been replaced in the lineup by Joe McAndrew and Al for this contest. Doner, who are alternated frequently.

He is the general of the Wilkes forces. Rebounding has been the major weakness of the team. This deficiency, most assuredly, does not stem from lack of hustle on the part of the team members.

Tom Pugh, John Moore, and Bob 22 W. Northampton SL Fleming, through obviously outstanding performances, have prevented the Colonels from being completely outdistanced in the rebounding department. Another striking team inadequacy is the lack of experienced players in reserve. The starting five players have been forced to assume a staggering amount of responsibility. They must play, by far, the major portion of each contest. This will, in time, lead to fatigue and perhaps inefficiency. A strong bench is essential to any team and this shortcoming is proving costly to the Colonels.

Students will have the advantage of seeing the celebrated Actor-Pantomimist, Harry Barton at the Assembly Program on January 11. Pantomime is one of the oldest, seldom seen, and least known of the Theater Arts. Harry Barton has undoubtedly had an experienced background in the art of pure motion. He studied dramatic theory at Xaviery University; characterization and recital technique with J. Bradley Griffin, Chicago, Illinois, and dancing with Ivan Fehnova, formerly of the Imperial Ballet at Petrograd. For the past four years, he has been an active member of the Uptown Players of Chicago. He also is a member of the Show Folks of America, The International Platform Association, and the American National Theater and Academy. Harry Barton's Pantomime is the only work of its kind in America today, and it is well known from coast to coast. In his work, Mr. Barton has borrowed from the F r e n c h, Italian, and Russian schools. From the French, he has borrowed the curve as the basic pattern of pantomime movement. Many of the stock characterizations which were the making of the "Comedia d'el Arte" have been borrowed from the Italian school of pantomime. From the Russians, M.r. Barton has taken symbolism in color, such as the white scull cap for romance and abstraction, the red for comedy, and the black for tragedy and despair. With his galaxy of caricatures and sketches, 1\'lr. Barton, playing many parts, will enfold the story of drama in its entirety. It is certainly worth seeing a pantomimist change from a comedian to a satirist and then to a king of tragedy on stage all within a relatively short period of time. •*********************** Look Your Best •..

Everyone has no doubt heard of the famous "pill within, a pill," but how many have ever heard of the Wilkes campus within the Wilkes campus. Unknown to most students and new faculty members, there is another Wilkes College campus. This one, however, is reduced to miniature and located on the third floor of Sturdevant Hall, packed away in boxes. But this inner campus did not always lead such a secluded life. It was the star of many exhibitions in its nine year life.

Originally scheduled for a three day run, an enthusiastic audience requested an extension of its engagement to two weeks. But what exactly is this campus within a campus? According to its creator, Mr. Stanley Wasilewski of the Mathematics Department, it is a scale model of the Wilkes College campus consisting of a nine by sixteen foot platform on which are constructed 3 0 buildings which comprised the campus at the time of the model's construction. Parrish Hall and the buildings acquired since 1959 are not included in the model because of the time required to construct the buildings. This is because each building is made of poster paper, shaped in proportion to the original buildings and to the other buildings in the scale model. Each building is so constructed that it can easily be identified as a replica of the original building. Mr. Wasilewski commented that he determined the success of his efforts by having his son, now a freshman at Wilkes, identif y the buildings. The campus is represented down to the last details ; walls, fences, trees, street lights, and even the white furniture on the lawn of Chase Hall. Although the college is continuing to add properties and the model falls one behind with every new addition, the model is a valuable record of the growth of Wilkes and should be carefully preserved for future reference. .....................

Morgan, tomorrow evening between the wrestling meet and the basketball game at the gym. George obtained this honor by virtue of a voluntary poll of the administration, faculty, and friends of the College. The poll was conducted under the auspices of the Sports Publicity Office, Arthur Hoover, director, and the Beacon Sports Department, George Tensa, sports editor. George Morgan - "Outstanding Colonel Cager" Morgan graduated from Wilkes in 1958, with a B.S. degree in Business Administration, leaving behind him a series of notable records. George enjoyed his finest season during the 1956-57 campaign. During that year he poured in 514 points for an all-time single-season Wilkes record. The significance of this feat becomes more striking when one considers that he also had a 57 per cent field goal average. The 6'4" center, in addition to his offensive capabilities, possessed outstanding defensive skills, as he averaged 16 rebounds per game. In national small college rankings for 1957, George placed ninth in total scoring and tenth in field goal percentage. For his performance during .that season he was DEBATE TOURNEY TODAY AT KING'S The Wilkes College Debating Society, under the direction of Dr. Arthur N.

The Senior class gift committee has completed preliminary plans for obtaining a college language laboratory. President Joseph Shambe announced that the Administration has agreed to match the gift fund provided by the Seniors, thus enabling the class to present enough equipment to accommodate 21 students at one time. Shambe wants to extend his personal thanks as well as the appreciation of the class to both the Administration and members of the Language Department for their efforts in making possible an additional monetary grant necessary for the purchase of the equipment. He further said that the equipment " will be ordered by the end of this week, and that the language equipment may be available for use on an experimental basis this semester. Shambe also announced that Mr. Gordon Roberts, Alumni Secretary, will distribute copies of the Alumnus to all seniors once a month at compulsory class meetings. The first issue will be given to the Seniors at their meeting later this month. Later in the semester, the class has proposed both a dinner dance and a class outing. At this time, plans for these affairs are tentative and will be completed as the semester progresses. 1a:e~~catote!~.

Oueen to Be Selected Tonight At TDR Valentine Formal by Barbara A. Lore A quickening pulse beat, fluttery feeling in the stomach, beads of perspiration on the forehead, flooding of the face with color - these are the emotions experienced by every red-blooded coed on Wilkes campus when the talk turns to the vital question of "Who will reign tonight as queen of Heart Wonderland, the Theta Delta Rho Valentine formal?" Unfortunately for the emotional quietude of the fair sex on campus, this is a question which cannot be resolved immediately. Not until intermission time when "chance" guides the hand of Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women, toward the winning ticket stub will the tension be relaxed and both joy and momentary disappointment abound. The chosen daughter of fate will receive a sterling silver bracelet with a sterling silver heart charm - one side of which will be inscribed" TDR Queen 1962" and the other side vacant awaiting the inscription of her name. A bouquet of pink carnations and porn porns will grace the arm of her majesty while a tiara will adorn her fair head. After her crowning by Barbara Piledggi, president of TDR, the queen will distribute among her subjects, favors prepared under the guiding hands of Jeanne Mattern and Rowena Simms. When the excitement subsides, the guests will resume dancing to the music of Herbie Green and his orchestra, who will play before a gigantic heart backdrop created by Ruth Boorom. Her majesty will reign over a wonderland of hearts and color as a result of the efforts of Jane Woolbert and Janet Ainsworth, chairmen of the decorating committee.

Tips to Keep Your Face Looking Its Best With Natural Glow �WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 9, 1962 Reed and Barton Offer Awards For Ten Best Table Designs During the months of February and March, Reed & Barton, America's oldest major silversmith, are conducting a "Silver Opinion Competition" in which valuable scholarship awards totalling $2050 are being offered to duly enrolled women students at a few selected colleges and universities. Wilkes College has been selected to enter this Competition in which the First Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship; Second Grand Award is a $300 scholarship; Third Grand Award is a $250 scholarship; Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Awards are $200 scholarships; and Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth are $100 scholarships. In addition, fine china and crystal with a retail value of approximately $50.00 will be awarded as prizes. In the "Silver Opinion Competition", an entry form illustrates twelve designs of sterling with nine designs of both china and crystal. (Entrant simply lists what he considers the six best combinations of these to match certain design periods.) Awards will be made to those entries matching or coming closest to the unanimous selections of table-setting· editors from three of the nation's leading magazines. Maryann Wilson and Nancy Tinklepaugh are the Student Representatives who are conducting the "Silver Opinion Competition" for Reed & Barton at Wilkes College. Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition" should contact Maryann or Nancy for entry blanks and for complete details concerning the Competition rules. Both Maryann and Nancy have samples of 12 of the most popular Reed & Barton designs so that entrants can see how these sterling patterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for these scholarships, Reed & Barton hopes to compile a valuable library of expressions of young American taste. Jackets Are Required For Evening Meal in 'Caf' YMCA •offers Course In Senior Life Saving; Classes Start Monday The official announcement has come from the Inter-Dormitory Council with the backing of Dean George Ralston. From now on it will be necessary for every male dormitory student to wear a jacket if they want to eat dinner in the Commons. Dean Ralston stated at Tuesday's I.D.C. meeting that the students had made the rule in the first place, and secondly it was best for the decorum of the college. Girls are expected to follow suit. Also at this meeting, the representatives from the dormitories decided to meet at 5:15 p.m. instead of 5 :30 p.m., Tuesday on the second floor of the Commons. Trade Lecture Wednesday This Wednesday the League of Women Voters will sponsor a noon luncheon at Hotel Sterling. Guest speaker for the occasion will be Mr. Louis C.

Further, to increase the Court's responsibility to the Student Government, the Solons deleted the phrase, " ... if contrary to that by the Student Government," from Article 7, Section 3, Paragraph 2. This change requires the Court to submit all its decisions to the Student Government. In the past, the Court had to submit only those decisions which were " ... contrary to those of the Student Government." The Solons concluded their official business in short order by imposing a $5 fine upon _the PsychSoc Club for its late submission of a February 10 activity form, approving activity forms for The Manuscript, Chapman Hall, and TDR, and submitting a Student Government budget report which showed an activities balance of $6,444.34 of a total budget of $15,200. Campus Comedy Reprint from The Reader's Digest A veritable gold mine of a business venture for college campuses seems to have been uncovered by a student at a Western university. Luckless and loveless coeds who wish to appear popular can rent a fraternity pin from a designated agent. The prices range from $2 to $10 dollars a week, depending upon the standing of the fraternity. One-half the fee goes to the owner of the pin, whose identity is kept secret. The other half is profit for the originator of the scheme. At last report, business was excellent. · Contributed by Dan Bennett * * * Campus Comedy Reprint from The Reader's Digest "I'm a bit nervous about being introduced," said Clarence Faust, vice-president of the Ford Foundation, at a conference at New York University. "Back in my native Iowa recently a toastmaster recited each step of my academic career, then added, 'A few years ago Dr. Faust took off his academic robes to don a foundation garment.' " Contributed by Leonard Lyons I I Weather, Snowy Hills Set Scene for Carnival Revised Edition It was a perfect winter setting of snow and ice. The air was just cold enough with an overcast sky. In short the right kind of day for winter sports at the college Winter Carnival. The three hundred students who took advantage of the weather found they had the Inn at Buckhill Falls practically to themselves. Only a few guests with red tags to designate them shared the skating, skiing, and sledding activities with the college group. The lodge was conveniently located with a snack bar filled with food and beverages to warm and refresh any student who took shelter there. Meanwhile back at the Inn, the card and game rooms were filled with Wilkes people seeking less strenuous activity. At 6 p.m., Convention Hall across from the Inn resounded with the music of Jack Melton's combo. Before long many semi-frozen but never-say-die students were dancing everything from the waltz to the tango, with an occasional twist thrown in. During intermission the Warner Trio entertained the crowd with some novel arrangements of folk singing and encouraged the audience to sing along. When departing time came, the students left slowly, exhausted, sore, and happy. Dinner-Dance Planned By Junior Class Date: February 24 The first major event of the Junior class for the spring semester will be the Dinner-Dance which will bEJ held on February 24. President Brent O'Connell announced that the Saturday evening affair will be held at the American Legion Post on North River Street. The Dinner-Dance will be open to all Juniors and their dates and will run from 8 :30 p.m. to midnight. A buffet supper will begin the evening and will be followed by dancing. Tickets are $4 per couple and must be purchased by February 19 to allow for suitable preparations to .be made. O'Connell also announced that committee members have been appointed to handle the various phases of planning necessary for the affair. Further plans for the class this semester are presently in a tenta- · tive state and will be explained more fully as they are formulated. ICG Plans Workshop, Visit to Courthouse The Intercollegiate Conference on Government kicks off its activities for the second semester with a tour of the County Courthouse on Tuesday. This tour will take the place of the regular meeting of the group next week. Members will leave from Pickering Hall at 11 and the ·tour will last until 1 p.m. On February 18, the group will hold a Workshop on campus, at which time members will submit bills for consideration. Each member, either· h1dividually or in cooperation_with another, is to present a bill at this time and members are reminded to begin work on their bills now. At the Workshop, the bills will be discussed and revised for presentation to the Wilkes Mock Assembly which will be held on February 25 in the Commons. The Mock Assembly is a preparation for the Assembly of ICG chapters throughout the state which will be held · on the first weekend in April in Harrisburg. Later in the semester, the ICG has scheduled a program for the college assembly and is presently arranging to obtain a speaker for the date. · 3 Practical Politics Arranged For Students Through Program Knowledge of the practical side of politics can be gained by interested students through a program of political internships being offered by the Pennsylvania Center for Education in Politics. This agency, formerly known as the Citizenship Clearing House, has openings for summer work which provide work in any of the three levels of American government: Federal. state, or local. Understanding Sectional Problems Is Goal of Universities' Program Two state universities have begun a North-South student exchange program as "an initial attack on the problem of provincialism in elementary education." The University of Massachusetts and Florida State University are the first participants in what the founders hope will be a national effort to promote understanding of sectional problems among teacher trainees. Two Florida students are now studying in the School of Education at the University of Massachusetts, and five of the latter's undergraduates are at the southern university. Both institutions have waived outof-state tuition requirements for the exchange students. According to the co-directors of the program, Prof. Vincent Rogers of the University of Massachusetts and Prof. Gifford Hale of Florida State, the program arose out of a conviction that the great majority of undergraduates majoring in elementary education are sorely in need of a personal and professional broadening experience prior to taking on classroom assignments. Dr. Rogers, in a recent interview, pointed out that the exchange is intended to give "considerably more than merely a sense of geographic contrast. Students in the program expect to be confronted with actual educational problems of a kind which, because of sectional differences, they might not find in their home areas." Music Faculty Procures Listening Library Students interested in the workings of the Federal government can obtain internships in the Washington offices of a number of Pennsylvania Congressmen, among them both of Pennsylvania's U.S. Senators. The internships available for state work provide openings in the respective party state committee headquarters in Harrisburg, while work on the county level is provided in the various county headquarters throughout the state. The latter type of internship requires work on the part of the student running through the general election in November, and, for this reason, is closed to students graduating in June of this year. The other types of internships are open to all college students. The internship program is not limited to students majoring in any specific academic field and is open to anyone interested in practical politics. Students selected for the internship program will be assigned to work with the political party of their preference. Pay scales will be graduated with the Washington interns receiving the highest compensation. Any student who cares to apply for the program may do so by seeing Professor Arthur J. Hoover for the necessary application forms. These applications must be returned no later than March 15. faculty hopes that the present facilities can be expanded and that many listening devices will be added for the convenience of the students. Mr. Robert Lovett, Chairman of the Music Department, pointed out that because of the space limitations at present the library would probably not be available for student use until September.

The mat action is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with the Colonel cagers ending the twin-bill at 8:30 against Moravian. Leading the Marauder grapplers into the meet will be co-captains Stu Meyerson and Walt Koffmeyer. Koffmeyer, their 167-pound ace, has been undefeated in dual meet competition during his four years at Millersville, while Meyerson has only one setback on his record, this coming via an injury in the Waynesburg meet. In their earlier outings the Marauders lost close decisions to powerful Waynesburg and Bloomsburg. Against the Huskies an injury to the Millersville heavyweight spelled defeat in a 17-11 meet. Last Saturday evening at the Wilkes gymnasium, Coach Reese's matmen registered one of the alltime upsets in the annals of small college wrestling, in defeating Lycoming College, 17-12. The Colonels, who were behind by seven points at one stage of the meet, surprised the heavily favored Warrior squad by recording four consecutive decisions and a draw. For Lycoming, it was their first loss in nine meets and it marked the seventh time that the Colonels have bested the Williamsport aggregation. Brooke Yeager opened the meet before a large turnout, many of whom were Lycoming partisans, with an exciting decision over Lee Wolfe. Brooke used a reversal and a neutral in the last period to fashion the 6-4 victory. Ron Kroebel of Lycoming recorded a fall over Dave Puerta in 2 :46. During the action Dave struck his head on the mat, stunning him and causing the pin. In the 133-pound division Bill Kehrig maintained his undefeated record by pinning Ron Henney in 8:10. Ron wrestled well but he could not counter the superior speed of Kehrig, who used a cradle hold to chalk up the fall. The turning point in the meet, according to Coach Reese, was John Gardner 's decision win over Bill Guttermuth, who was previously undefeated and was also a winner in the Carlisle tourney. Gardner, who was not expected to win, turned in an outstanding performance in decisioning Guttermuth, 86. Coach Reese had nothing but praise for John and stated that his win inspired the remaining grapplers to come through with the upset. Bob Ziegler followed Gardner to the mat and shut out Bob Wayne of Lycoming, 7-0. Bob was in charge all the way. He employed several predicaments in posting the win. In the 167-pound class Ted Toluba turned in another convincing victory as he outclassed Art Orassion, 6-1. Ted was in constant command of his opponent throughout the match. Ted's win gave the Colonels a one-point lead at that point in the meet. One of the most exciting bouts of the evening was the 177-pound contest, in which Bob Ainsworth, this issue's "Athlete of the Week," turned in an impressive 11-4 verdict over Dave Forten. Bob came extremely close to pinning his opponent a number of times in rolling up his eleven counters. Bob has yet to be defeated this season. Faced with the necessity of avoiding a loss by a fall if the Colonels Buy a SPORTS GIFT for Christmas SHOP AT LEWIS - DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER 11 E. Market St. - Wilkes-Barre - and Narrows Shopping Center Kingston - Edwardsville were to win the meet, Bob Herman performed ably in holding the much heavier Joe Confer to a 1-1 draw.

The aggregate capacity of these three Pennsylvania nuclear power plants will be 145,000 kilowatts. In contrast, in all of Russia there is only one nuclear plant devoted to power production, and that has a capacity of only 5,000 kilowatts! SHIPPINGPORT ATOMIC POWER STATION-the world's first large-scale nuclear power station devoted solely to peaceful uses. In addition to producing power by means of the pressurized water reactor, this station has provided extensive invaluable information on uranium oxide fuel element performance, core reactivity changes and associated control factors, and on problems of health physics, radio chemistry and waste disposal. SAXTON NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT-now under construction. This is basically a research project which will explore the most promising concept of the pressurized water reactor for economic production of nuclear power. This facility has been designed and constructed so securely that it is extremely unlikely that storms, floods, earthquakes, fire, or even a missile hit would produce a nuclear accident. The Saxton plant is being built at an estimated cost of $8,520,000 to participating investor-owned electric companies. PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION-scheduled for completion late in 1963. High Temperature Reactor Development Associates, Inc., including 53 electric power and light companies in the country, have contracted for this nuclear power project at a cost of $26 million. Employing a high temperature, helium gas-cooled, graphite-moderated, solidhomogeneous reactor system, this project represents the first application of a new high performance concept. Its purpose is to serve as an effective prototype for future full-scale plants designed to produce electric power competitive in price with conventional power.

These former Wilkes stalwarts 4:xcelled on the hardwoods dunng the 1950-1960 decade and their efforts produced the most outstanding Blue and Gold basketball records. Leading the Dream Team is 6'4" George Morgan. The "big man" was also selected "Outstanding Colonel Cager of the Fifties." (see story page one.) Len Bartlo George Gacha The high-scoring forward on the select squad is Len (Batroney) Bartlo. The former Ashley High School ace holds the Wilkes record for most points in a career by amassing 1,642 points in his four years on the Wilkes team. Basketball wasn't Len's only claim to fame at Wilkes as he led the Colonel diamondmen in batting, a sweet .497, and home runs, three roundtrips, during the 1953 season as a second baseman. Beacon "Athlete of the Year" laurels were captured by Len in 1954 as he graduated from Wilkes. Since then he has been teaching mathematics in Garden City High School, Michigan, where he is head mentor of the basketball and baseball teams. Playing one of the guard posts is Ed Davis, a regular spark plug on the Colonel squads for four seasons. Although he is small for a college p er form er, "5'9" Babs" made up for his height disadvantage with his speed and fiery play. He is one of the few men to ever earn his letter in three major sports for four seasons. Ed graduated in 1954 with an A.B. in mathematics and returned to his alma mater, Plymouth High School, to teach. In 1955 Ed took over the reigns of the Wilkes basketball team and has been head mentor ever since. In 1958 he became head football coach at Plymouth and last season was named head baseball - coach. Ed is married and the proud father of two "little cheerleaders". Joining Davis at the guard positions is George Gacha.

Before the Colonels try to even their season's record with the Greyhounds Dean George Ralston will introduce the members of the Fifties Dream Team and present them with certificates of achievement. In their earlier meeting the Greyhounds waylaid the victory hungry Colonels with a 76-57 win. Jack Zavacky led the Bethlehem men with 20 points while Demko, Kosman, and Wilson also hit in double figures. Bob Fleming led the Wilkes efforts with a 23 point burst while Harvey Rosen and John Moore added 14 counters each. The Colonels have gotten more help in their quest for a win over Moravian with the addition of Dick 'Doc' Voshefski to the team. The former Newport Township AllScholastic is a top ball-handler and will give the Davismen added reserve strength for their outside corps. Harpur Wins Against Harpur College on last Saturday, the Colonels found a quintet of red hot shooters from the outside too much to overcome and dropped a 68-59 decision. It was the unstoppable one-hand push shots from the side and some timely taps by Bob Loomis and Mickey Greenberg that proved too much for the Colonels. Trailing 31-21 at the half, Wilkes did manage to come driving back and make a close contest out of it as Bob Fleming who scored 16 tallies in the second half. John Moore chipped in 10 points in the second half to end up with 13 counters. Fleming led the Colonels in scoring with 18 points while Rosen and Moore each had 13. Tom Pugh turned in another good defensive game by holding the Harpurmen's top scorer, Ira Davis, to a scant seven points. The senior co-captain also tossed in eight points in the losing cause. Greenberg and Loomis led the victors with 21 points each. Ainsworth Earns "Athlete" Honors; Sustains Injury in Lasl Meel Ed Davis Carl Van Dyke George Morgan wrong foot sent George into 20point averages in his junior and senior years. While an offensive threat on the hardwoods, George traded his trade. mark for a defensive label on the soccer and baseball teams. He was the goalie on the soccer squad and an "ace" fireman on the diamond squad . George graduated in 1960 and traveled down the aisle in the same year. He is the father of a bouncing baby girl. George teaches at Toms River High School, New Jersey, where he is head soccer and basketball coach. Rounding out the Dream Team, alphabetically, is Carl Van Dyke. The little high-scoring forward was a consistent threat to opponents with his one-hand push shots from the outside and his accurate passes. He is considered one of the best defensive players to come out of the Wilkes ranks and was often assigned to guard the opposition's top man although he was usually taller than Carl. The former Punxsutawney AllScholastic was selected Beacon "Athlete of the Year" and "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" during his senior year of 1956. Not only a basketball wizard, the lanky performer was also a standout on the soccer field where he led the Colonels to a highly successful 1955 season. Against Hofstra he blasted home three goals in a 3-2 victory to set a Wilkes record. Carl is now teaching business education at Punxsutawney High School. The only "single" member of the Dream Team, Carl plans to make the trip down the middle aisle in the near future. Earning honorable mention on the Dream Team were: Jim Ather- ton, Bob Benson, John Bresnahan, Harry Ennis, Jim Ferris, Clem Gavenas, Charlie Jackson, Fran Mikolanis, Parker Petrilak, Bernie Radecki, Ron Roski, and Joe Sikora. The. Dream Team will be introduced to the fans at the intermission of tomorrow night's twin-bill and presented with certificates of achievement.

VA 5-4767 Greeting Carda • Contemporary Cards GREETING CARDS · CONTEMPORARY RECORDS - PARTY GOODS Bob Ainsworth, as a result of his fine performances for Coach John Reese's wrestling squad, earns this week's "Ahtlete of the Week" honors. Bob has contributed a good deal to the success of the team thus far in the season. A Junior majoring in German, Bob has competed in the 177-pound division. He is yet to be defeated this season. In the meet with C. W. Post he drew with his opponent while he racked up victories in the Hofstra, East Stroudsburg, and Lycoming contests. He did not participate in the Ithaca meet due to an injury. His convincing decision in the Lycoming meet was perhaps his most significant as he staked the team to a five point advantage with only one bout remaining. The match was undoubtedly the most thrilling of the evening. His opponent, Dave Forten, was in trouble throughout the match as Bob was unrelenting in his pursuit of the elusive Warrior. He came quite close to pinning Forten on several occasions. The match ended in an 11-4 verdict. During this writing it was learned by this reporter that Bob aggravated a prior injury in the Lycoming contest and will be lost to the team for the remainder of Men's Modem the season. The injury, which includes bone fragments in his left knee, will require surgery as the condition is responsible for related cartilage ditmage. It is apparent that the operation will render him inoperative for the rest of the campaign. The injury could not have occurred at a more inopportune time, as Bob was finally coming into his own as a top-flight collegiate wrestler. He has shown steady improvement in the grappling skills during his tenure at Wilkes under the able tutorship of John Reese. Promoted to a varsity role this year, he has become .a mainstay of the team and has provided reliable strength in the 177 -pound division. His loss, no doubt, will have a marked effect on the team and it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement. A native of Kingston, Bob presently resides in Wilkes-Barre. He is a graduate of Kingston High School where he was an outstanding performer in football, track, and wrestling. As a high school grappler he ran up a string of 26 consecutive victories. He was a member of the 1958 Wyoming Valley Conference Championship team at Kingston. At Dickinson College, in 1959, he participated in football and wrestling.

Loyola Gives Pointers On Aims of Perfect Student Government The following is not a report on how student government actually functions at Loyola College but a report on how it might possibly function. It was written in hope of suggesting a vision or a direction which student government might take. "The stimulation of thought and exchange of ideas, the basic activity of the academic community in its quest for truth, is naturally the first concern of student government. Evaluating courses, p r o po sing changes in curriculum, suggesting the use of particular textbooks a re tasks which call upon all the insight and experience of the student body's elected representatives. They are tasks absolutely necessary lest the vitality of the school community fade and the opportunity for intellectual stimulation not grow, but wither. "Should a school provide a testing program to help superior students to avoid taking unnecessary introductory courses? How do professors' salaries and the number of hours professors teach affect the quality of instruction? How do superior and poorer students fare under a limited-cut system ? On questions such as these the mature student government is informed and ready to speak. "Stimulation of thought and exchange of ideas is hardly limited to the classroom. So the student government worries about lecture series, symposia, and even the state of informal contact and discussion between students and faculty members. The mature student government takes steps to see that the channels of student opinion and thought are kept strong and open, that the newspaper, literary magazine and bulletin boards provide students with the necessary giveand-take of orthodox and unorthodox modes of thought and expression necessary for the dialogue of education. "Closely allied with the more strictly academic concerns of the student government are the problems of student welfare. In the economic sphere tuition expenses and the necessity for a great many students to work part-time or even full-time are examples of real problems which a truly representative student government cannot ignore.

The new program is not a trimester system involving an eleven month schedule, and according to college spokesmen does not represent an acceleration of the student's work. Total academic work for the year will be the same as at present; normally 30 credit hours per year with a range of 27-33 hours, but, and here's the change, 70-minute periods instead of the present 50. The longer class periods open new possibilities for combining lecture and class discussion, lecture and testing, or discussion and demonstration, according to Dr. Julian L. Ross, dean of instruction and chairman of the special committee that worked out the details. Research Institute on Communist Affairs + ;t PERUGINO'S VILLA + Italian-American Re■taunmt A.

Main St. TH£ BOSTON STORE II A &IIAT only 5.95 ' February 17 has been set as the date for a new round of Peace Corps Placement Tests to be given in centers throughout the country. These will test applicants for many new projects scheduled to begin this spring and summer in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. As in the previous tests, the Peace Corps is seeking not only people who may be skilled in a particular trade but also men and women without specialized training. An example of this is the liberal arts graduate who is sought for such things as community development projects. Peace Corps Director R. Sargent Shriver noted in announcing these tests that "no one should automati. cally exclude himself from consideration because he considers himself either too highly skilled or not skilled enough. We will match qualifications to the growing ret we are receiving from abqueSds" roa . Students interested in taking this test can receive information from Mr. Robert Morris in Chase Hall. Science, Aged Rodents Give Next Generation Longer Life Expectancy SPRING SEMESTER LIBRARY HOURS Monday-Thursday: 8 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday: 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Science is working to expand man's Biblical life expectancy from "three score years and ten" to at least five score, or 100 years; and if the trend of new discovery continues, our children may live in a time when 100 years of age is merely a respectable average. These points are made in a January Reader's Digest article by Albert Q. Maisel, titled: "Can Science Prolong Our Useful Years?" Mr. Maisel answers his own question with a decided "yes." Already science is gaining insight into how and why we age. Aging processes can be arrested or forestalled in experiments with rats and other animals. Rats kept on a controlled diet, for example, lived an average ten per cent longer than rats who were allowed to eat whatever, and as much as, they wished. Answers to all our questions about aging are still in the remote future, Maisel admits. But there are methods which we can follow now to increase our own and our children's life expectancy. Among them are the following. Avoid overeating. Life insurance studies show that 20 pounds of excess weight cuts life expectancy by about 1 ½ years; 35 extra pounds can take four years from your life VA 3-6:276 Willces-Jrorre.

Cold Weather Enthusiasts Meet to Form Ski Club A movement which started as a snowball at the Winter Carnival a few weeks ago has turned into an avalanche. More than two dozen ski enthusiasts turned out for an organizational meeting of a college Ski Club last Friday. At this meeting Bernie Cohen, a junior biology major, was elected chairman pro temp of the group and a committee consisting of Ted Toluba, Bill Hall, and Marsha Silvers was appointed to look into the possibilities of becoming a recogni~ed campus organization. On Tuesday evening, 14 of the infant club's members attended a meeting of the Wyoming Valley Ski Club. Those who attended had the opportunity to obtain information on the club's organization, hints on skiing, and area facilities. Three ski films were also shown. Future meetings will be announced; anyone interested in the sport is invited to attend. Beginners are welcome. -------------- Debating Team Places Seventh in Annual Garvey Tournament The varsity debate squad participated in the 12th Annual Garvey Invitational Debate Tournament at King's last weekend. The squad, composed of John Campbell and Lynne Dente on the affirmative and Jerome Krasa and John Pikulski on the negative, compiled an overall record of six wins and four losses and placed seventh in a field of 34 schools entered. The affirmative team met and defeated teams from Duquesne, Colgate, and Drew Universities while dropping decisions to St. John's, Hillcrest College, and Washington and Lee University. The negative team defeated teams from St. John's College, Ohio University, and Brandeis University while losing to Duquesne University and Augustana College, the tournament winner. Entering the final round of the tournament which pitted strength against strength after the first round, the Wilkes team was actually in second place. However, since it dropped two decisions in the last round while the eventual winners picked up at least one, they dropped to seventh in the final standings. Later in the semester, the team has scheduled meets at Pace College, Colgate University, Bucknell University, and College Misericordia. Plans are being discussed for entering the District 7 elimination meet at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia. This match is the elimination match for teams that will later participate in the national finals at West Point Military Academy. Michelini Will Discuss Drinking Al Next Assembly Program One of the most familiar and friendly figures on the campus is Dr. Francis Michelini, the featured speaker at assembly next Thursday. Dr. Michelini whose topic will be, "The Physiological Effects of Alcohol on the Human Body," feels that early summers spent on his grandfather's farm and his grandfather's deep appreciation of nature probably awakened and influenced his interest in science. Dr. Michelini left college after his freshman year to join the Army Air Corps where he was a radio operator. After the war he returned to college and received a B.S. degree in chemistry from Seton Hall University. He continued his studies at the University of Delaware where he earned his M.S. degree in biology. While at D e I a w a r e he was awarded an Atomic Energy Fellowship for research on radioactive effects on plant materials. At the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his doctorate degree, he continued his studies on plants and wrote 'his doctoral thesis on plant metabolism. As a result of this interest in the metabolic activities of plant materials, Dr. Michelini developed a side interest in alcoholproducing plants and the physio- logical effects of alcohol on humans. His assembly subject was first considered as a lecture topic when the Pittston Lions Club asked him to speak to their group. Dr. Michelini feels the subject is of particular importance since many people have been presented with more myth than fact rgearding the effects of alcohol. In his lecture Dr. Michelini will present the more upto-date scientific view on the effects of alcohol. He also plans to discuss some of the differences between the various types of alcoholic beverages in terms of their nutritional value and alcoholic content. In regard to alcoholic content, Dr. Michelini indicated that there is more to "proof" than is generally understood. He will relate some of the traditional myths referring to the effects of Tonight - 8:30 Irem Temple STUDENT WEEKLY WII...Km COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Five Music Majors Will Present Senior Piano Recital Sunday Concordia Concert Kiwanis Branch Formed By College s_tudents, Known as Circle KClub The organizational meeting of the Circle K Club of the WilkesBarre Kiwanis was held recently on the Wilkes College campus. At this meeting Victor F. Baiz, chairman of the Circle K groups of the Wilkes-Barre K i w a n i s, explained the objectives and functions of these auxiliaries, and then introduced A.H. Ackerson, Lt. Governor, Pennsylvania Kiwanis Division 15, who spoke at length about the Kiwanis in general. Following a question and answer period, the club was officially organized with temporary officers being elected. William D. Carver will serve as president; Edward Comstock, vice-president; Michael Cebula, s e c re tar y; and Douglas Haughwout, treasurer. Membership in the club is open to all the young men of Wilkes, but especially freshmen and sophomores are urged to join. All members will receive pins and membership cards on Charter Night to be held at the end of the semester. Future meetings will be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1962 Accounting Internships Send Seniors Throughout Country by Jerome Krasa College seniors are often criticized for the semi-natural tendency they seem to have of allowing the quality of their work to slacken off during their last semester. Few, however, are granted the opportunity presented eleven of our students of leaving the campus entirely for the first six weeks of that semester. The students in this case are senior accounting majors and they are participating in an annual program set up by the college to acquire field work in accounting prior to graduation. These internships are provided to give the student practice in the work he would be doing if he were an actual part of the firm. The internship program, itself, is designed to last for six weeks, during which time the student acts as a regular part of the firm for which he is working. The program, this year, achieved national scope with one of the boys accepting an internship in the Los Angeles office of an accounting firm. Mr. Robert Capin, instructor in the accounting department and head of the c o 11 e g e internship program, said that the only function the college plays in the program is to get representatives of the firms to come to the campus to interview the students. He noted that Mr. John Chwalek is responsible for having the firm send a representative but .that once the representative appears on campus there is no further participation in the program on the part of the college.

Friday, February 16, 1962 ' COLLEGE BEACON STUDENT SKETCH Letter to the Editor Dear Sports Editor: Your letter came as quite a surprise to me! I read your letter and announcement, and I still can't quite believe it. I feel very honored to be part of such a group that encompasses 10 years. I would like to thank the people who voted and who thought enough of my basketball ability to include me as a member of the Dream Team. Little things such as this certainly make one feel a bit warmer inside; I only wish that I could be on hand to take part in the festivities on February 10. Unfortunately, St. Louis is quite a distance from Wilkes-Barre, and since time is rather short, I find it necessary to stay here. Either Younsu Koo or George Elliot, I hope, will be happy to accept my award and forward it to me. And may I thank you for it in advance. Again, thank you for the consideration. Carl Van Dyke Chemists Visit Sites Which Relate to Major; Plan Future Trips The Chemistry Club recently made a day-long trip to the Merck Chemical Company plant Danville. The Merck Company · is a local division of one of the nation's· largest refined chemical producers. At this time, members of the club also visited the Joseph Priestly House in nearby Northumberland, Pa. Priestly, an English scientist who experimented with air, oxygen, and respiration, spent his last years in America, and his Northumberland home contains the original laboratory apparatus used in his experiments. Continuing their investigation of local industrial facilities, the club will visit the Stegmaier Brewing Company and the Scranton plant of Capitol Records in the near future.

After a five year absence Joseph Trosko returned to Wilkes and did a double take! Campus changes made him feel once again like a freshman in a bewildering atmosphere.

In the second five-minute overtime the Greyhounds sent three shots through the hoop to end the marathon. Moravian opened the contest with an eight point lead but the Colonels closed the gap to tie the score at 23-all on the shooting of Harvey Rosen. The Greyhounds put on a full-court press and added twelve points to their total before the Colonels could break into the scoring column again. Halftime came with the visitors holding a 37-27 margin. The Davismen surged the second half and tied their taller opponents, 67-67, in the closing minutes. Top shooting by Rosen and two clutch baskets by Tom Pugh led the comeback. The two squads traded baskets in the closing moments to end the regulation time. In the first overtime Rosen and Ernie Kosman traded baskets and Wolfson put the Bethlehem men into the lead before Pugh knotted the score for the twelfth time with a pair of free throws.

Rosen was the top scorer for the Colonels with 30 points while Kosman hit for a like number for Moravian. Moore took runnerup honors with 14 points. ~~~~~~~~~~ e PENN BARBER SHOP e Next Door to Y.M.C.A. 3 Barbera at Your Service Jame■ J. Baiera, Prop.

He was in command all the way as he racked up a number of predicament points to fashion the win. Bob Ziegler Last Saturday in the Millersville meet, Bob handed Hank Kenberdine of the Marauders an overwhelming defeat. He came close to pinning Kenberdine on several occasions, rolling up the highest score of the evening. Bob has improved through the season and at present is performing in expert style.

COLLEGE BEACON AUTUMN LEAVES SILVER SCULPTURI! TARA ( continued from page 1) the field of accounting and Wilkes is fortunate to have the program at the college. Mr. Capin said that, although all colleges in the country don't participate in the program, our students are in competition with boys from colleges throughout the country. H e further noted that if the firm liked the performance of the intern working with it, a permanent job after graduation was not unusual. Here, also, the college stays free of the boy's choice. The reason for Roberts being sent so far west, Mr. Capin said, was that Haskins and Sells wants to see how eastern college boys fit in with their western office. This is the farthest one of our students has been sent in this program. Commenting on last year's program, Mr. Capin concluded, that our interns were compared favorably with those from other schools and a number of them were offered permanent positions with the firm with which they had interned. Friday, February 16, 1962 TDR Valentine Queen Chosen Miss Merle Benisch was crowned Queen of Hearts by Miss Barbara Piledggi, sorority president, at the Theta Delta Rho Valentine semi-formal last Friday evening. Miss Benisch received a bouquet of pink carnations and white porn porns, and a charm bracelet. Her royal duty consisted of distributing goblets to all male escorts during intermission. Lettermen Go It Again At Annual Cherry Chop "Can she bake a cherry pie Billy boy, Billy boy?" Nobly the Lettermen's Club will ease the pain of male students forced to answer this query negatively by serving free cherry pie during intermission at the Cherry Tree Chop next Friday evening. Lest cynics too hastily conclude that eherry pie is the only boon offered by the Lettermen at their annual soiree, consider these other attractions. Dr. Francis J. Michelini, former monopolistic holder of four consecutive Pie Eating Championships, will attempt to recapture his title from Jerry Mohn, defending champion, who gorged his way to glory last year. Buzzing saws and groaning men will usher in the traditional logsawing contest f eaturing Dr. Michelini and Dean Ralston pitted against two hardy opponents representing the Lettermen's Club - a further enticement to diversion-seeking students. To conclusively squelch any arguments against attending, Rick Rees and Jerry Mohn, co-chairmen of the affair, respectfully submit the theory that the fifty cent donation is tax deductible since its destination is the Lettermen's Scholarship Fund - indeed a charitable cause.

TRIP The Psychology - Sociology Club will hold a very important meeting on Tuesday, February 27 at 11:00 a.m. in Conyngham 103. The meeting will be presided over by the following new officers: Joe Gelli, president; Tom Faris, vice-president; Barbara Savitski, secretary; and Mike Winslow, treasurer. An important issue on the agenda will be the discussion on the trip to New York. The trip will occur either the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May. The students will visit the psychological laboratories of Columbia University and the New School of Psychology. Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor of Psychology, will accompany the group. At the meeting, Dr. Riley will speak to the club about the survey which the Psychology department has made concerning the replacement of families in the redevelopment of Wilkes-Barre's H a z l e Street area. . This year helping the students decide their choice will be a panel of judges from -college personnel. These judges are Dr. Francis Michelini, Mr. Kent Kirby, Mr. Richard Chapline, Dr. Ruth Jesse, Miss Mildred Gittins, and Mrs. Livingston Clewell. Judging points which all should look for are: a good figure and excellent posture; clean, shining, wellkept hair; good grooming - not just neat but impeccable; a deft hand with makeup ( enough to look pretty but not overdone); a clear understanding of her fashion type; imagination in managing a clothes budget; a workable wardrobe plan; individuality in her use of colors; accessories; a suitable campus look (she's in line with local customs); and appropriate - not rah rah look for off.campus occasions. Student Government Makes Plans For Student Leaders Conference Notification of the next planned date for the Student Leaders' Conference was given at Monday's Student Government meeting. The time is Monday evening at 6 p.m. in the Commons. At this time the students will have the opportunity to discuss any subject matter which affects campus activiy. Any topic for discussion should be submitted to the Student Government mail box by Monday at noon. Refreshments will be served. County Vote Machines To Be Used in Elections To Fill Class Vacancies Freshman and sophomore elections will be held on Friday, March 2, to fill vacant class offices. Lou Coopey, judge of elections, and assistant Thomas Penhale have announced that voting machines have been obtained from the county to be used in the tabulation. The polls will be located in the cafeteria lounge and will be open between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday. Jeff Gallet, chairman of the committee investigating the parking problem, stated that fewer car-pool tickets were sold than was expected. Those who purchased the pool tickets will still be able to use them. The Government voted to allot $120 from the intercollegiate conference fund to defray expenses of twelve students attending the Intercollegiate Conference on Government model general assembly in Harrisburg. Total expenses for the trip will be approximately $267.60. The assembly will be held at the end of next month. Eelections for new class officers and Student Government representatives will be held next Friday in the lounge of the Commons. Regular voting machines will be used and the numerical results will be posted. Students from both classes were nominated last Tuesday to fill vacated positions.

Shoup of the United States Marine Corps. General Shoup said that Marines are taught "faith and confidence." "We Don't teach them to hate. Hatred is poison," he said. It is closely related to the fear which breeds defeatism instead of victory. It is "a disease that we cannot afford if we are to maintain our position in the family of freedom-loving people." Hatred, as a disease, causes its victims to forget good intentions and sometimes makes the result of the good they do of no effect. General Shoup has given over 200 speeches without mentioning Communism. As the Monitor editors stated, however, "if hatred is not for the Marines, it is not for those who combat Communism on the political level." May we, in figthing Communism, "be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Letter to the Editor ... Dear Editor: Ever since the snow fell last week, and due to the periods of thaw and frost, a sheet of ice formed on many of the pavements which are controlled by the college. No work has been done by the maintenance crew to salt or even sand these danger spots. I realize that the crew is kept busy, but don't you think that the welfare of the several hundred students is important enough to bring about the correction of such a hazard? Friday, February 23, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Richard Rees, Active in Athletics/ Gives Views on Education by Gloria Zaludek Richard Rees, the subject of this week's student sketch, might have stepped from one of those sidewalk posters, emblazoned with the now-famous adage: "The Marine Corps Builds Men." An average boy - blond, blue-eyed, handsome, wellbuilt - Rick was moulded into a tough Marine Corporal with an interest in history. In approximately two weeks, this senior will turn loose his rugged charm and his knowledge of history as he begins student teaching in one of the local high schools.

Mariella College Publishes Manual · To Assisi Faculty Advisors A manual for Marietta College's faculty advisors to help them evaluate the academic potential of their freshman advisees has been produced by Jack M. Scott, director of college-high school relations at the college. The manual discusses the interpretation of objective admissions data in predicting or determining just how well a student should do. Scott presents guides for evaluating a student's high school record, discussing in detail: type of course, grades, rank-in-class, c o 11 e g e recommending grade, recommendation of high school official, and secondary school test scores. A second section deals with the use of Scholastic Aptitude Test scores to determine a student's relative ability and to predict his performance. Scott found that when the two objective predictors are used - rank-in-class and SAT scores - the rank-in-class should receive 67 per cent weight and the SAT score 33 per cent. The final section of the manual tells the advisor how to use both the high school record and test scores to identify "over-achievers" and "under-achievers" among freshmen. WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Elizabeth Taylor Look, Hip Hugger Sportswear Herald Spring Fashions by Nancy Tinklepaugh and Maryann Wilson The Elizabeth Taylor look is expected to sweep the nation this spring. This look is a frilly blouse which comes in pastel checks such as, pink and white, plain white, or pastel solids. The blouse can be very frilly or just softly feminine depending on how many ruffles it has. Some of the blouses have a single ruffle about the neck and cuffs of the sleeves while others have a mass of ruffles at the neck, down the front of the blouse, about the cuffs of the sleeves, and around the hem of the blouse. This look has also been carried out in some of the prettiest dresses for spring. A new and daring style for spring and summer is the hip hugger look. Skirts, slacks, and Bermuda shorts are now cut to hang on the hips instead of fit the waist. Two piece bathing suits which are supposed to catch on this season after two unsuccessful seasons are also featuring this look. For you gals with slim hips and a little daring, the hip hugger look can be very attractive. Richard Rees Rick, a social studies major, will graduate in June with a bachelor of science degree in secondary education. Of the Wilkes history department, he says, "In my opinion, the members of the department not only present material in an enlightening and understandable way but relate men to events in history, making the past as interesting as the present. Rick's "present," however, is also quite interesting. He has been a four-year member of the Lettermen's Club and is its present vicepresident. A two-year member of the ICG, he is student chairman of the Chapter and its Northeastern Pennsylvania publicity director. Rick has played football at the College for four years and was cocaptain of this year's squad. He has served his class as a member of its executive council and is now one of its representatives on the Student Government. When asked what were his feelings concerning bis years of Wilkes, Rick, who was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, answered in words which seemed to echo the Marine Corps motto: "Semper Fidelis." "As one continues here he grows attached to the College and realizes a certain loyalty to it. He feels proud of it now, and he will feel even more so after graduation." Rick expressed his satisfaction with the tremendous improvements made in the athletic program here, specifically making mention of the recent acquisition and renovation of Artillery Park. He believes, however, that the College needs better facilities for student teachers on campus. He pointed out that the rooms in which student teachers prepare for actual teaching do not present natural situations. In some instances, these rooms are too small or have inadequate blackboard space and are thus not comparable to actual elementary and secondary classrooms. Finally, Rick sees a need for bet(continued on page 4) University of Detroit i Raises Graduate School Admission Requirement Detroit, Mich. - The Graduate School at the University of Detroit has raised admission requirements from 2.5 to 2.7 overall average in undergraduate work. The change, made by the Graduate Council, requires all applicants to have the 2.7 for at least the final 60 hours of undergraduate work. In addition, they must have a 2.75 in their field of graduate specialization. Rev. Allen P. Farrell, S.J., dean of the Graduate School, said the change is the result from a need to bring admissions standards more in line with those of top Graduate Schools in the country. "This will mean," he said, "if past evidence is valid, that instead of the usual one-third rejections, at least onehalf of the applicants will be turned down. · Manuscript Film, "Pather Panchali" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7 p.m. Cherry Tree Chop - Gymnasium, Tonight, 9 :00 p.m. Levittown-Trenton Alumni Chapter Meeting - Bristol Motel, Tonight, 8:30 p.m., Mr. George Ralston, ,Speaker.

Mr. Gordon Roberts, Executive Alumni Secretary "Undoubtedly Colonel Glenn's successful flight will have positive scientific and technological implications. However, I believe the most profound implication related to this historic event is that is was listened to and watched by the entire world at the invitation of a nation which believes in an open and free society. I believe this successful space endeavor will help to convince other countries of the United States' strength and knowhow; I hope many Americans are convinced, also!" Mr. George Elliot, Assistant Professor of Economics "I hesitate to say this on a day of deserved national pride and achievement, but I doubt that Glenn's flight will make one iota of difference in world affairs. I say this with full appreciation for the present and future contributions of American science to ourselves and to the world. "The question assumes that world affairs are like an athletic contest where the only thing that counts is who scored the last basket. This is an important, but isolated, battlefield in a struggle of vast scope. We should be proud, but we should not delude ourselves into any false sense of security and we should not divert ourselves from other equally important issues and problems." �WILIES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 23, 1962 3 Wrestlers Close With Gettysburg Matmen Close Season With Veteran Bullets; Moravian Triumphs Tomorrow afternoon the wrestlers close out the dual meet season at Gettysburg against an experienced Bullet squad. Gettysburg is currently enjoying another successful season and are a much better team than the one that succumbed to the Wilkesmen last season. Brooke Yeager will be back on the mat for the Colonels after a week's absence due to a bout with the ffu. After the Gettysburg meet only the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament remains on the matmen's schedule. Last Saturday evening the grapplers suffered their first home defeat in nine years, as they were edged by a potent Moravian squad. The victory, as it turned out, resulted from a Wilkes loss of the opening contest of the evening. Ned McGinley, substituting for an ill Brooke Yeager, was pinned in 7 :22 by Dave Wilson.

The Wilkes team will be facing their opposition who, at this time, have a 3-2 mark. In the swimming tilt at Pennsylvania Military College I a s t Saturday, Wilkes succumbed to their host in a 56-38 defeat, as the aquamen managed only two event wins. The diving event, captured by J. J. Miller, with Ron Masters placing second, and the 400-yard freestyle race, composed of Jack Barnes, Ron Masters, J. R. Miller, and J. J. Miller, were the extent of Wilkes' victories. Jack Barnes, a budding contender, has been with the team only one season, and has added many vital points when he placed second in two of the matches. Tomorrow's event will be Wilkes' last contest of the season and Ken Young expects a grand finale from his boys. REHAB.

Rich, who plans to be a high school science teacher, succeeds Bob Januszko as team captain. Bellas as a sophomore and junior compiled an amazing record for the Colonel divot-diggers, having gone through two years of Middle Atlantic Conference play undefeated. One of the best competitors ever to play on the golf team in its fiveyear existence, Rich has a cool, even temperament, unusual among collegiate golfers. Certainly the feat for which he may be most proud occurred in the 1960 match against Scranton at Fox Hill. When his driver went so sour that it cost him a point for the front nine holes, Bellas proceeded to play the back nine with irons exclusively and came home with a two-one victory. While the loss of Bob Januszko, Al Stralka, Joe Hiznay, and John Pierce will make unlikely a repetition of last year's 6-3 season, it will be interesting to observe for how long the new captain can keep his individual winning streak alive. Six dual meets, a triangular meet and a pair of tournaments make up the 1962 golf schedule for the Colonels. The return of Juniata and Albright to the schedule means that the golfers will have a hard time living up to the 6-3 record compiled last season. Giving the team strength at the top will be veterans John Adams, Jim Ward, and Captain Rich Bellas. Adams, in his third year on the squad, was one of the five junior golfers from the Allentown area. He is capable on any given day of beating any golfer in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Hard-working Jim Ward, veteran of a decade with the United States Marines, had what was for him a most disappointing inaugural season. The trouble that wasn't corrected until late summer provided Jim with many woes. The Mississippi native is a long-accurate iron shooter who must fill the spot left by Al Str~lka if the Blue and Gold golfers are to have a winning season.

Important, therefore, is the constructive thought which should go into a consideration of the potential for different approaches, more effective programs, and better developed methods of student involvement, all leading to more extensive effects resulting from both action and thought.

Student Violations College Development Student leaders voted unanimously to back an. idea for a student arbitration board. The duties of this board would be to investigate any student violations on ·or off campus and prescribe a just punishment. As a college, Wilkes has few of these violations. Those that occur are handled by the Dean's office. Under this proposed plan, Student Government members with representatives from faculty and administration would handle these matters. Proposed additions to the college were discussed at this meeting because of the apparent interest of members of the student body in a Fine Arts building. Mr. Morris explained that originally the Fine Arts building had priority in future college construction, however, certain occurrences have altered this. For example, the graduate program in chemistry and physics, and the possibility of an Area Research Center doing industrial research and development necessitates an addition to Stark Hall across to Chase Theater and up to Bennett Hall. Also the Urban Renewal program has provided for college growth in part of the block between South and Ross Streets. Plans have been made for the building of a dormitory for 250 male residents and a new dining hall for the entire student body. The new dormitory will probably be built on the unit plan with a designated number of male students per unit. This is to maintain the comrad·e rie of the present dormitory units. Activities Bulletin All attending agreed that the activities calendar in the Student Handbook becomes out-dated soon after the beginning of the fall semester. A remedy for this has been made with the publication of a weekly activities bulletin through Mr. Morris' office. · Any organization having an activity is advised to g1ve the information to Miss Joan: Borowski in Chase Hall before Wednesday, noon. Tuition A discussion of tuition increases brought out the points of rising costs in college operations and a planned increase in faculty salaries. The latter point is the most important reason for the . tuitiori increase. -R9om and board costs are also i_ncreasing next year. Several dormitory . membe.rs present wondered if this increase will facilitate needed repairs in the dormitories. Mr. Morris' comment was a ·r eference to a recent. male dormitory suryey which revealed that only three men's· dormitory students would be willing to leave the present building set-up for a modern dormitory. To quote Mr. Morris, "No matter how many complaints we receive, you still want to remain in the present dormitories." Insurance There was a long discussion on the ten dollar deductible clause of the medical insurance plan. It was brought out that many dormitory students in the throes ·of the present flu epid_emic were hesitant about obtaining medical care because of the initial fee. As a result the germ is pas·s ed quickly from ·p erson to person in the dormitory and classroom. Three nurses in the dormitories have been ·busy making house calls and handing out advice concerni_n g this · illness. Dormitory residents at the meeting were noting th_is service because it was sometimes difficult to get medical attention. They felt that since they must pay the initial office fee, they should be given access to the same office hours as regular p·a tients. Drinking Long a subject of great interest to the student body, the drinking policy of the school came up for discussion at Monday's meeting. The policies committee of the Student Government is preparing a new approach which they hope will find acceptance with the administration. Finale At the end of the meeting Albert Kishel, Student Government president, complimented the students present on their contributions, and added that he had hoped more than twenty-six students would be present and a greater percentage of the some forty-odd organizations be represented. Ed Club Plans Forum Members of the Education Club are planning an April forum to bring together high school members of the Future Teachers of America and Wilkes students majoring in education. The forum will be held on Tuesday, April 3, from 7 to 9 p.m. Ron Grohowski, chairman of the forum, reports that following introductory remarks by Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Education Department, and Pat Rossi, ·president of the Education Club, a series of detailed panel discussions will be held. The panel discussions, with Wilkes education majors and high school students participating, will also, according to Grohowski, "afford opportunities for younger students to acquaint themselves with the challenges and rewarding experiences that they will encounter as they prepare for the teaching ·profession." The committee making preparations for this high school-college forum will meet in Parrish Hall on Monday at 7 p.m. Other business before the Education Club at its recent meeting was the organization of a Wilkes Student Teachers Conference which will conduct its first formal meeting in the college Commons tomorrow at 10 :30 a.m., and a motion to conduct educational and explorative field trips to the Kis-Lyn Industrial School and to the "gifted children classes" of •the WilkesBarre Public School System.

'Duke' Coming March 31 For Junior Jazz Junket; Tickets on Sale Now Nancy Palazzolo A series of seminars designed to stimulate intellectual thinking and discussion will begin on Sunday evening at McClintock Hall. · Nancy Palazolla, chairman of the seminar committee for Associated Women Students, has announced that this first seminar will determine whether enough interest is present on campus for a continuation of the series. Dr. Riley, chairman of the psychology department, will lead the first seminar group on a topic of popular concern. All students and faculty members interested in attending are welcome. The seminar will start at 7:30 p.m. Students on campus are familiar with Dr. Riley's presentations, having heard them either in class or at assembly programs. Miss Palazolla stated, "We asked Dr. Riley because of his popularity with the faculty and students, and because we were sure his choice of a topic would be a pertinent one." She continued, "I have received many approving comments about the starting of a seminar series, and I am sure all who attend will consider their time well spent." Opera Company Members To Appear in Assembly Next Thursday's assembly will lend a musical note of cheer to brighten the dreary days of winter on campus. Rosalie De Felice, coloratura soprano, and Bob Tarboax, baritone, of the Binghamton Opera Company, will perform for the student body. Miss DeFelice has had many leads in light operas with the company each season. Mr. Tarboax has also performed in a number of productions with the company. Mary Lou Egan, who is the official accompanist for the Binghamton group, will accompany them on the piano. Frosh Schedule Tryouts For Class Talent Show The Freshman Class announces a change in their plans for a class project.

At the musical competition, representatives from Capitol Records, Liberty Records, Lycoming Music Corporation, and Continental Artists will be present. There is a chance that some participating groups will be signed by booking agents in the audience. Winners will not go unrewarded, for prizes consisting of $600 in cash, various trophies, and other non-cash items will be distributed to those groups or individuals considered the best in competition.

While we may not necessarily agree with the reasons for the stand taken by this group, we must recognize the motivation which caused these students to take such a stand. Undoubtedly, most of those who participated had thought a great deal about the problems involved before coming to a conclusion and it is for this that they must be commended. College students must become aware of the existing important problems in the world today. All too often, we become so deeply engrossed in affairs which affect us personally and at the present time, that we fail to see the problems which may have an indirect affect upon us in the future. These students whose concern about this impersonal, national problem was great enough to lead them to take the stand which they have taken have once again brought to light the need for interest and enthusiasm on the part of the college student in the affairs of our country. Our interests must rise above the near and the present and include within their scope the realm of things distant and future. Advancements Made by Peace Corps Is Subject of Magazine Article A year after its inception, the United States Peace Corps has almost 600 volunteers working overseas, with another 200 training at home and some 18,000 a·pplications on file. It has not had the unqualified success that some predicted for it, but neither has it been the catastrophic failure that others feared it would be. Rather, it has established itself as an effective force for international good will. These are among conclusions to be drawn from an article in the March Reader's Digest describing "The Peace Corps One Year Later." Most closely watched of all Peace Corps programs is the communitydevelopment project •i n Colombia. Unlike other Corpsmen who are basically teachers, Colombia's 62 PC'ers are pioneers who work at chores that range from building roads to teaching sanitation to people who have never seen a flush toilet. Aided by the support of President Alberto Lleras Camargo and of the powerful Roman Catholic Church, Colombia's Corpsmen have earned the trust of the people they work with despite Communist charges that they are preparing the country for sale to the United States. But if the Corpsmen have proven themselves abroad, they are still controversial here at home. Opposite views are epitomized by University of Chicago historian Daniel Boorstein, who character:zes the Corps as another demonstration "of both American naivete and arrogance," and by New York University psychologist Morris Stein, who says: "These kids represent something many of us thought had disappeared from America - the old frontier spirit." PC Director Sargent Shriver readily admits that mistakes have been made, but argues: "The fact is that the project works and the job is being done."

Dear Sir: On behalf of the basketball team I'd like to thank the fine student attendance in the latter part of the season. The team effort in the second half of the year was superb and the fine school spirit present at these games undoubtedly was an important factor. To all the loyal fans the basketball team says, "Thanks." Harvey Rosen Co-captain, '62 cagers Wall Divides World, Presents Wide Contrast In Education, Thought A wall can change education and thought. But it cannot harness freedom of the mind that is given a chance to break the chains. Kelly Smith contrasts education on the two sides of the wall in a Daily Kansan editorial. Two girls, university students, walk along the still streets. It's dark. They're talking and laughing now and then as they play a children's game of hop-scotch with the shadows. In another city, two more girls are walking along a street - a quiet street because there is a curfew. There is no laughing. The few words spoken are almost whispers. There are shadows, but no hop-scotch. The difference? The two girls are students at the University of Kansas, USA; the other two are students at Humboldt University, East Berlin. Without further explanation, we recognize immediately that between these girls there is more than distance, more than a language barrier, and more than a mere variety of professors and textbooks - there is a world. A world now separated by a wall. We talk about the "limited, tersely selected material" available to students on the other side of the wall. We talk and complain about the fact that two girls cannot laugh as freely on one campus as on another. We talk about the restrictions of students behind the wall. But what do we do about it? Nothing. And what can we do? We can educate ourselves more aptly and fully. We can learn that there is a difference in degrees of academic freedom, and we can learn that those differences produce two kinds of people Communist-inspired and democratic-inspired. We can learn that freedom of the mind cannot be harnessed within a wall if given a chance to break the chains, and we can learn that one person, one student body, one country is enough to break the vacuum seal over the student, any student, anywhere.

The Beau-Bow Hairdo Need a quick hair set, but you simply can't be seen in curlers? Take heed to the new beau-bow hairdo! Here's how you do it: Separate damp hair into clumps about the size of a fifty cent piece and tie with half-inch-wide ribbon cut about ten inches long, draw the half-knot out to the ends of the hair; tighten, using the knot like a roller; wind the hair up to the scalp; tie the ribbon again. Now who could object to a bunch of bonny ribbons? They'll revive your curls in about half an hour, too!

Friday, March 2, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Senior Reveals Sound Thoughts On Occupational Philosophy By Barbara A. Lore "E Duco" the Latin base of the word education means "to lead out of the darkness." This exactly fits the philosophy of Mary Ann Foley, senior secondary education major, who views the educator as a dominant, positive force. According to Mary Ann, "The influence of the home on the American child is steadily decreasing. Because of the prevalence of working mothers and the increasing reliance on the school for the molding of youth, many obligations formerly the property of parents have been switched to the teacher. Teat:hers cannot avoid controversial issues but must express opinions and impart values to youth since this may be the only avenue to intelligent appraisal the child has. Controversial issues such as communism must be objectively discussed in the classroom since an intelligent person cannot honestly and effectively reject an idea until he thoroughly understands all its implications." These profound, seriously c o n s i d e r e d thoughts coming not from John Dewey or an education manual, but from a pert, attractive, extremely feminine coed are a bit discon::erting. Mary Ann Foley Writing May Improve With Use of Experts Reading Student Papers A two-year project at Case Institute of Technology is providing one answer to improving the writing abilities of college students. Called the Case Reader Service, the project uses a staff of experts to grade the writing quality of student papers written for non-composition courses in science and engineering. Initially begun two years ago, the Reader Service was applied originally to some 16 courses covering 340 of Case's 1600 undergraduate students. Last year, on an expanded basis, it was applied to 18 courses covering 620 students. This year it has been further e~panded to include the entire sophomore class in the required Physics Laboratory course. The program is in addition to the freshman composition course which all students must take. The Humanities Department has also introduced a new objective grading system in second semester Freshman composition courses.

Laboratory reports, term papers and analyses are checked for accuracy in grammar, punctuation, spelling and mechanics as well as for clarity, coherence and logic. With a torrent of words flowing from her lips, Mary Ann continued expounding on this subject vitally important to her. "Failing a child is demoralizing. It causes disinterest, discouragement, social problems and leads to further failurea vicious cycle. The basis of many scholastic problems is emotional rather than intellectual, therefore a concentrated effort to discover these underlying problems and alleviate them is much more constructive than indiscriminate failing." As a potential English teacher, Mary Ann enthusiastically claims that this oft-dreaded subject can be presented as a vital, pleasurable experience. She contends that grammar should not be taught out of context but as a technique of effective speech while literature should be viewed as a mirror of man's ntost pulsating thoughts which are of vital practical, as well as aesthetic interest. Realizing that theories must be tested to have validity, she is anxious to test the mettle of her ideas during her student teaching experience at C o u g h 1 i n High School beginning next week. In true scientific spirit, Mary Ann will further experiment with her educational theories when she embarks on her official teaching career next year, preferably in the suburbs outlying Philadelphia so that she can attend graduate school at one of the many universities in the City of Brotherly Love. To conclusively test her ideas and satisfy a lifelong desire, she hopes to teach in Europe in the not-toodistant future. . . In her capacity as pres1de_nt . of the Future Teachers Association at.

While at Wilkes she has been a member of TDR, Senior class executive council as well as chairman of the senior class gift committee, and vice-president of the Education Club. In her evaluation of the Wilkes English Department, she found that not only are a wide variety of courses offered to the English major but also that instructors manifest genuine interest in the individual student.

He will visit under the auspices of the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics as part of a broad, nationwide program to stimulate interest in Physics. The program, now in its fifth year, is supported by the National Science Foundation. The American Association of Physics Teachers is one of the five member societies of the American Institute of Physics. Other member societies are: American Physical Society, Optical Society of America, Acoustical Society of America, and the Society of Rheology. Dr. Lazarus will give lectures, hold informal meetings with students, and assist faculty members with curriculum and research problems. Dr. D. P. Detwiler, Chairman of the Department of Physics at Wilkes is in charge of arrangements for Professor Lazarus's visit. Professor Lazarus, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, in 1949 came to the University of Illinois as an instructor, and in 1959 was made a full professor in the Department of Physics. His special interest at present is in solid-state physics and he is author of some 25 papers on this work, mainly in fields of intermetallic diffusion, imperfections in solids, and behavior of solids under high pressure. He also has been connected with military research in fields of electronics. Dr. Lazarus is a member of American Physical Society, American Association of University Professors, and Sigma Xi, and former member of American Society for Metals, and American Association of Physics Teachers. Jaycees Offer Variety to Prospective Members; Assembly on Agenda The Jaycees are making plans for their annual membership drive held in late March and early April. Prospective male members are required to make an application and appear before the assembled members of the club at a special evening meeting. The requirements for membership are a 2.0 or better average, and an active interest in school affairs, particularly the Jaycees. According to Robert Conway, membership chairman, the Jaycees offer the student a chance to develop his talents and abilities so he may more successfully serve his college and community. The Wilkes College Chapter of the Jaycees has the distinction of being the first unit of the Junior Chamber of Commerce on the collegiate level. This achievement has brought them nationwide recognition, Co n way stated. Some of the service projects completed by the Jaycees on campus have helped to beautify the college and the community. The most recent of these projects was the "Retreat Hospital Book Drive" by which the Jaycees acquired some two hundred books for that institution. To help stimulate voters last November the Jaycees sponsored a "Get Out and Vote Campaign." In conjunction with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce, the campus Jaycees held a campaign on February 4, 5, and 6 to help bring the 1963 Pennsylvania State Jaycee Convention to Wilkes-Barre. Future plans for members of this organization include sponsoring an assembly.program at which William Johnson, _president of the State Junior Chamber of Commerce will speak; attending the Pennsylvania Jaycee Convention at Allentown in May; holding a bake sale; the annual awards banquet; and ushering for the June graduation exercises. For further information regarding the club, their activities or their coming membership drive, see Robert Conway, or any of the members. Ame,rican Scholars Get Educational Assists As Communities Dig Deep A rapidly-spreading idea to raise "dollars for scholars" is offering American communities a new ap•p roach to the problem of providing scholarships for deserving students. In an article in the March Reader's Digest, Robert O'Brien tells how more than 100 towns and cities are using "home-grown" scholarships to help bright, needy students gain a foothold in college. "Dollars for Scholars" - more formally known as the Citizens' Scholarship Foundation of America - is the brainchild of Dr. Irving A. Fradkin, a Fall River, Mass. optometrist. Concerned because lack of finances was keeping many bright youngsters out of college, Dr. Fradkin in 1958 convinced skeptical Fall River leaders to launch a community scholarship drive. Contributions came from sales of one-dollar "memberships," from religious, civic and business groups, from working men and students. Some $4500 was collected and awarded to 24 outstanding high school seniors. T y p i c a 1 Citizens' Scholarship Foundation gr an ts are small, usually around $250 a year. They are designed to help a youngster get established rather than to pay his way. The success of the Fall River program has spread to other communities in a way that delights Dr. Fradkin. He estimates that by next June there will be more than 100 CSF chapters in 30 states, awarding 1500 scholarships with a total value of $750,000. All C$F scholarships are "no strings attached" gifts although recipients are encouraged to repay the funds if and when they can. As education costs continue to soar and as a college education is more and more the key to a rewarding career, the CSF idea offers every community an exciting opportunity to increase its stake in its own future and that of its young people. As Dr. Fradkin puts it: "It's the communities themselves that stand to gain the most. Year after year, they will be enriched by the return of young men and women they've helped through college." Sorority Plans Tea For Senior High Students The second tea sponsored by Theta Delta Rho Sorority for senior high school girls will be held Wednesday afternoon, March 14, in McClintock Hall from two to five o'cloek. This tea will be held for all girls from the eastern section of Wyoming Valley who either plan to enter Wilkes in September or who desire to acquaint themselves with the campus social atmosphere. Invitations have also been issued to Wilkes faculty and the dormitory housemothers. The women of TDR will act as hostesses and all members are urged to attend. TDR members have planned decorations in accordance with a Saint Patrick's Day theme and will serve refreshments and provide varied entertainment in an attempt to create an informal party atmosphere conducive to friendly conversation. Chairman of the affair is Mary Moritz, who will be assisted by the following: Paula Mesaris, Rosemary Hagel, refreshments; Judy Sisco, Jerry Baird, decorations; An- Shown above are members of Cue and Curtain who will appear in "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" next week at Chase Theater.

Contest winners will have their stories published in an annual hard-cover volume, "Best College Writing." The competition includes any college or university student or member of the Armed Forces accredited to educational institutions anywhere in the world. The search for promising young fiction writers is the sixteenth in an annual college short-story contest conducted by Story magazine. Prize money is being provided by the Reader's Digest Foundation, which is adding a grant of $5000 to cover administrative costs of the contest. Prize for the best short-story submitted in the contest will be $500. The number two entry will win $350, and third prize will be $250; The next eighteen winners will receive honorable mention awards of $50 apiece. Announcement of the contest was made by Whit Burnett, Editor of Story and by Sterling Fisher, Executive Director of the Digest Foundation. Both urged contestants to prepare entries as soon as possible, noting that the contest deadline is April 20, 1962. Manuscripts should be from 1500 to 9000 words in length and should be submitted to Story Magazine College Contest, c / o The Reader's Digest, Pleasantville, N.Y.

Don Jacoby lo Appear on Campus Wednesday in Brass Clinic Usual directing procedures will be reversed next W e d n e s d a y through Saturday at 8 p.m., when two members of Cue and Curtain Society, Stephen Schwartz and Emily Weinberg, direct two oneact plays, The American Dream and The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden. Since education as well as entertainment is a goal of Cue and Curtain, Schwartz and Miss Weinberg will have the opportunity to learn more thoroughly another aspect of the theater. The student direction will be under the supervision of Mr. Alfred Groh, Cue and Curtain dramatic coach. Stephen Schwartz, senior English major, will direct the biting comedy, The American Dream, which is, according to its author, Edward Albee, "an examination of the American scene, an attack on the substitution of artificial for real values in our society, and a condemnation of complacency, cruelty, emasculation and vacuity; it is a stand against the fiction that everything in this slipping land of ours is peachy-keen ... " Thornton Wilder's The Happy Journey To Trenton And Camden is a light, satirical comedy that presents both realistically and symbolically, a father, mother, son, and daughter attempting a "happy" journey. Of this play Mr. Groh says, "The frequent productions of this play have amply proved its success in creating illusions. It is a telling example of the author's i n g e n u i t y in stimulating the viewer's imagination to supply scenery and properties on a stage bare of everything but chairs." The play is directed by Miss Weinberg, a sophomore mathematics major. Casts have been selected for both plays. The American Dream will star Ruth Friedlander as "Mommy," David Fendrick as "Daddy," Joan Pitney as "Gra'ma," Pat Chapracki as "Mrs. Barker," and David S. Peters as the "young man." The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden stars Stephen Panken as "Elmer," Marsha Hefferan as "Ma Kirby,'' Lynne Maslanka as "Caroline," Ray Gleason as "The Author," Walter Dexter as "the stage manager," and Sieglinde Vallot as "Beulah." Bob Dew and Jim Stanton are stage managers for both productions, Ed Lipinski and Mindy Weinberg are in charge of lighting, and Arthur Palencar is art director.

The new approach, emphasizing engineering science, "calls for an unusual degree of imagination on the p a rt of instructors." Teachers need both academic and practical experience in both science and engineering, and they need "an unusually fortunate freedom for creative faculty endeavor." 2. Students emerging from new programs may not be adequately prepared for "the team effort which the profession of engineering must represent." They may be too specialized, able only to move toward one of several possible goals. 3. How can all the material which today's students need be covered in a four-year curriculum? "There is a general belief that, as our sights have been raised higher, we must be prepared ultimately for some more extensive engineering educational program."

What's wrong with the Colonels? Although never engulfed in an air of invincibility the Colonels have always been respected on the hardwoods as a very formidable team. Basketball fans from all ends of the Valley adopted the team and learned to cheer, cheer for old Wilkes. In recent games the cheers have become mingled with an occasional catcall, for Wilkes was running into trouble. But even though some fans were able to drop lightly the deterioration of Wilkes basketball, no one was prepared for this season's humiliation. Last week's loss to Scranton was the seventeenth of the season - a record for ineptitude unmatched in the school's history. So what is wrong with Wilkes? The answer: plenty. And no one knows it better or more bitterly than Coach Ed Davis, a dejected mentor who weighs his words as though measuring out a prescription. As a youth growing up in nearby Plymouth, Davis learned his basketball in winning doses. From 1950 to 1954 he was a sturdy and aggressive guard on some of Wilkes' solid teams. In 1955 Davis took over the reins of the Wilkes squad and continued with the team in its winning ways as head coach. Throughout the first five years of his mentorship Davis was greeted by a well-balanced crop of athletes from which to form his team. George Morgan, Carl Van Dyke, George Gacha, Fran Mikolanis, and Bernie Radecki are just a few of the men who graced his squads. Although he loyally denies the fact, Davis was shocked by the poor material he inherited this season. Not only was the squad weak in natural ability, but it did not measure up to Davis' stiff standards in fundamentals of passing and rebounding. Last year Davis bravely managed a 7-14 record. This year, with only one freshman of varsity caliber out for the squad, Davis was hit by a numbing series of injuries, including the loss for the season of Dick Morgan, the scrappy field-general of the team. While teams of the past would have found new 'stars' chafing on the bench, this season the bench was bare. But the trouble with Wilkes basketball is far more basic than sidelined stars. When Coach Davis was asked for an answer he fiddled with a pencil and painfully answered, "Time changes many things." . One of the changes is the fact that far fewer local basketball stars automatically long to go to Wilkes. Too many other colleges with bright new reputations are making too many good offers. Rival recruiters score points by warning boys of the high scholastic standards at Wilkes and the "lack of campus life" while dangling full scholarships within their grasp. After one mauling of Wilkes this season, a Hazleton fan remarked, "I don't mind so much losing but to have local products furnish the victory margin for the opponents is too much." Brain vs. Brawn - More important the administration is determinedly hauling up the college's academic standards and sees no reason to grant exceptions to athletes. There are dozens of good basketball players who want to come to Wilkes that can't even be considered. Thus the price of academic progress is athletic trouble. Luckily for Coach Davis he is not measured by any nostalgic calculus of wins, losses, and league championships, but only by the spirit of his team. Davis himself claims to be optimistic about the future, feeling this year's team is just the shell of the team he is going to have. With the ideal of there will always be a segment of qualified students who are good players, he hopefully eyes the future. The poem reads, "Somewhere the sun is shining," ~nd w~o knows, with scoring leader Harvey Rosen back for his senior year and crafty Dick Morgan back in one playable piece, the sun may shine on · Wilkes basketball next year. Chances are Davis, caught between a tough schedule and tough academic standards, may be able to produce an occasional good season, but the golden days of Wilkes basketball are likely to be gone forever.

This brought the final mark for the Colonel hooosters to three wins and seventeen losses. Against Rutgers the old nemesis of first half blues had the outcome of the contest shakv as the Camden club grabbed a 37-31 margin at intermission. John Moore and Harvev Rosen each hit for 12 in the initial half to keep the Wilkesmen in contention. Second half action found the Colonels showin~ their extra spurt as thev outraced their taller opnonents to a tune of 36-21. Rosen continued his fine plav in the second stanza with 14 points while Don Mattey made his finale with a ten point performance.

All four stalwarts are seniors and will receive their sheepskins in June. Scalp The Warriors Last Saturday evening the Colonels ambushed the Warriors of East Stroudsburg State College in the South Franklin Street gym finale, 85-72. The visitors came to town with a well-publicized fastbreaking team that was famous for running its opposition into the ground. The opening minutes found the Warriors living up to their press clippings as John Polanchak and Russ Hopewell set up Scott Weaver with sharp passes for five quick baskets. After the Teachers took an early lead the Colonels began to chip away at the margin w:ith Harvey Rosen tossing in jump-shots from all angles of the floor. At the half the Davismen were down by a scant two points, 39-37. Again the second half spurt carried the Blue and Gold to victory as they rattled off seven straight baskets before the visitors could score. Rosen combined a 26 point first half with 17 counters in the second . stanza to hit his all-time high and a season's high of 43 points. John Moore tallied 18 points against the Warriors as Tom Pugh and Doc Vosheski combined for 17. Will Ripfly led the Warriors with 22 points while Scott Weaver hit for 18. Tom Pugh turned in a yeoman's job in holding Jack Murphy to a scant eight points, twelve below his average. 18 W.

Would he be the highest scorer? Would he be the top rebounder, the player with the best assist average, or the chief holler-guy? Professional's yardstick, fashioned by the experts through experience, is the following: The most important player to a team is the one it can least afford to lose. Typifying this ideal on hardwoods across the nation are key personnel such as Chet Walker of Bradley, Utah's Bill McGill, three-time All-American Jerry Lucas and John Havelick of powerful Ohio State, and fiarvey Rosen of Wilkes. . Harvey Rosen These players. are prime examples of the basketeers who will grace the All-American teams that will hit the sports front in the near future. Each player is a star. Each player is the backbone of his team with his scoring thrust and floor play, but hidden in the glamour of the h e a d l i n e s is the s t r o n g e s t characteristic each player possesses teamwork. Lucas is currently leading the nation's best in goal percentage as he would rather set up a teammate than take the shot himself. Havelick is the "big defender" for the Buckeyes while Walker is the floorman for the Braves. On the local scene is Harvey Rosen. The six-foot junior has been the scoring leader for the Colonel cagers for the past two years and last year ruled the nation from the foul-line with a phenomenal .910 percentage. This season the lanky guard "slumped" to 88 per cent accuracv from the charity line to lead the MAC and rank with the nation's leaders.

These scoring surges led the Wilkesmen to impressive v i c t o r i e s over East Stroudsburg and Rutgers of South Jersey. This season Rosen hit 152 goals and 128 fouls for a 432 point total. This gave the Ashley Hall resident a 21.3 point per game average. In addition to playing the "scoring thrust of Wilkes", Rosen pulled in 116 rebounds and was credited with an · unscored amount of assists. · · Since the _underlying characteristic of hoop greatness is teamwork, many instances of Rosen's qualities could be written. One of the most recent was during Saturday's upset of Stroudsburg where Rosen was enjoying the best offensive show of his career. With 37 points tucked under his belt and a hot hand on the ball, coach Davis gave orders to set up "the Rose". Harvey rebelled and instead showed a plan of attack where he would sacrifice points to act as a decoy for his teammates.

The Wilkesmen will be looking for their sixth consecutive crown in the tourney but are expected to find lots of strong competition in the race. Leading the Blue and Gold grapplers into the tournament will be defending 123-pound titlist Brooke Yeager who won "Outstanding Wrestler" laurels last year. Brooke has been undefeated this season and will carry a long skein of winning matches into the competition. Lee Wolfe of Lycoming is e:icpected to give the Colonels' pride and joy the stiffest competition for the crown. Ted Toluba will be one of the top contenders for the 177-pound title as the Colonels' captain has retained the winning ways of his freshman year when he reigned in the l57-pound class. Rounding out the Wilkesmen in the tourney are Tom Gladtke in the 137-pound competition, Dave Puerta in the 130, freshmen Bob Ziegler and John Gardner at the 147 and 157-pound posts, 177-pound Bob Herman, and Jim Brunza in the heavyweight division. The top competition for the Wilkes matmen for the team title is reportedly coming from Bucknell, who just completed an undefeated season; Moravian, Lycoming, and Hofstra. The Colonels will be out to uphold the tradition that has carried them to five consecutive MAC championships under their able coach, John Reese. Past seasons have found the Colonels ruled out of contention because of the "green" squads but the grunt and groan squad has always found the extra spark to end the tourney as "kings. of the MAC mats". Last Saturday afternoon Coach Reese's grapplers closed out the dual meet season by presenting Gettysburg College with a 27-3 defeat in their home gym. The Bullets came through with only one decision as they were outclassed by the well-coached Colonels. After Brooke Yeager won on forfeit, Dave Puerta turned in an 11-7 decision over Ron Kline in a fast-moving bout. Dave used a number of take-downs to gain the victory. At 137 pounds Tom Gladtke enabled his team to take a 13-0 lead as he also won on forfeit. John Gardner followed with a 3-2 verdict over Gettysburg's Ray Bushnell. The match was not particularly exciting with each wrestler displaying evident respect for the other's ability. , The only fall of the afternoon was executed by Bob Ziegler as he applied a cradle hold to pin his opponent in 6 :35 minutes. Bob has been a consistent p e r f o· rm e r throughout the season and this match was an example of his mat prowess. Ted Toluba followed Ziegler to the mat and came up with a 7-1 nod over his able opponent. Ted rolled up an early margin and had his adversary in trouble a number of times. In the 177 pound division, Bob Herman was edged by Joe Young of the Bullets, 4-3. Bob was in the bout all the way and, according to a number of people who witnessed the clash, was the victim of inferior officiating. Jim Brunza closed the meet with a 3-1 decision over Herb Shriner of the Bullets. Jim outmuscled his heavier foe to fashion the win. The matmen, by this victory over Gettysburg College, ended the season with a record of four wins, two losses, and two ties. �WILKES 'COLLEGE 6 Ballet Guild lo Present Annual Performance al Irem Temple by Mary Alice Gabla The Wilkes-Barre Ballet Guild will present its annual performance Saturday, March 17 at the !rem Temple, North Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.

Prominent among the changes is the fact that many courses which were required for one semester have now been extended to two semesters. · This will provide a greater depth of knowledge of the subjects taken, and at the same time accomplish the purpose of the committee had in mind. This is to provide Wilkes students with a broader liberal education background than they now have.

Lore Hear ye, hear ye, - All budding literary geniuses and philanthropists, come to the aid of the Manuscript! With blithe confidence in the generosity of the students of Wilkes, the literary society is seeking contributions both literary and monetary. One-Act Plays Continue Tonight, Tomorrow at Theater Two one-act plays will be presented by Cue and Curtain tonight and tomorrow night in Chase Theater. The club's first offering for the spring semester will include "The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden" by Thornton Wilder and "The American Dream" by Edward Albee.

Literary and artistic contributions are being sought for this Spring's issue of the Manuscript literary magazine, a representative collection of the creative writing and art work on campus. Most authors and artists are not appreciated until they are residents of that "other world" but members of the "artistic elite" on campus can avoid this fate by publishing their work in the Manuscript and thereby reaping a bounty of widespread fame and admiration. March 15 is the deadline for submission of these artistic gems, according to Stephen Schwartz, Manuscript editor. In their efforts to present films that would not ordinarily be shown to the student body, Manuscript plans to present "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" on April 27. In the words of The Saturday Review of Literature, "No more genuinely moving motion picture has emerged in years." This combination love story, plea for peace pairs a French actress and a Japanese actor in the setting of Hiroshima. Placing matters in their proper perspective, the film paints both the individual German and Japanese soldier with soft brush pointing out that it is the blistering forces that sear and destroy life and that collect individual human lives into ranks of enemies that are to be hated. Since this film is not one of the regularly scheduled films, which are paid for by administration funds, the Manuscript staff is forced to solicit funds to cover the rental fee. • To accept donations from campus philanthropists wishing to exercise their art, Erin McCormack, chairman of the fundraising committee, will "man" a table in the cafeteria every Friday at noon. To further stimulate interest Joel Harrison and Dolores Amir ~II solicit the boys' and girls' dormitories respectively. In conjunction with their regular film program, Manuscript will offer "Rasho-Mon", a Japanese movie dealing with that fleeting entity, '61. Once again, the Faculty Flashes, led by Dr. Michelini and Dean of Men George Relston, will match their muleheads with those of the Student Stars, captained by Don Eller. The Flashes are a team of experts on qualities often found in mules. Besides Dr. Michelini and Dean Ralston, the faculty roster includes John Whitby, Robert Morris, Larry Weed, Francis Pinkowski, Al Zawadski, John Reese, and Girard Gaughan. Listed among the Student Stars are Rick Rees, Buddy Menaker, and Joe Shambe. Four members on each team, two forwards and two guards, get set under a basket, using the opposite basket as their goal. The players remain close to their scented burros until the ball is thrown into the middle of the floor. Once he receives the ball, a ,p layer must be mounted or holding the reins if he wishes to pass it or shoot a basket. No player is allowed to hold the ball for more than 15 seconds. Other than these four basic rules, anything goes since there are no out-of-bounds, time-outs, or fouls, and even the mules can exchange players. Jerry Shilanski, experienced muleteer, will give the play by play of the donkey classic. During intermiss)()n, while the mules are giving the players a rest, there will be a few surprises. Jim Jones, general chairman of the jackass extravaganza, is working with the Circle K Club to entertain a group of underprivileged children. The tickets for adults are 75 cents. Children under 12 will be admitted for 50 cents. Children's tickets will be sold only at the door. Assisting Jones are Ed Rogalski, publicity; Gail Roberts, Barbara Stevens, Fred Smithson, personnel; Jerry Shilanski, program; Alan Gubanich, technical arrangements; George Evancho, Roger Rymer, ticket sales; Rosemary Hagel, Sally Schoffstall, refreshments. Class Meetings Scheduled All classes will conduct compulsory meetings on Thursday at 11 a.m. Students should check the campus bulletin boards for announcements concerning the location of their particular class meeting. Truth, on Friday, March 16 at 7 p.m. in Stark 116. To further organize plans for both the movie and the forthcoming publication, the staff will meet next Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Pickering 101. All students interested in joining the Manuscript staff are invited to attend this meeting. �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIAL- Decision President Kennedy's reluctant decision to resume nuclear testing in the atmosphere has brought a wide variety of reactions from all comers of the world. In Japan, the foreign ministry issued a letter urging President Kennedy to "reconsider your present decision to resume testing." Britain and France, who had been consulted in advance by Kennedy, have officially indicated support of the decision. The official Soviet news agency, Tass, called the president's offer "a clumsy attempt to justify himself before the world." Here in the United States, the decision was also met with a variety of reactions. Many citizens have praised the president's move to resume on the grounds that our nation is falling behind Russia in the field of weaponry. Other groups have criticized Kennedy because of the threat to the health of the nation which may be involved. The president emphasized the fact that the decision was reached reluctantly and after a great deal of deliberation. Examination of the more than forty tests made by Russia last year revealed many technological advances made by the Soviets. We as a nation must be prepared to keep the peace, but we cannot allow ourselves to stand idly by while the Soviet Union makes advances in this all-important field. We must proceed cautiously in our efforts to reach a peaceful agreement, but these efforts must not endanger the security which comes as a result of being adequately prepared. The decision of the president must be evaluated by considering all aspects of the resolution. The question of a possible health hazard has been debated by the nation's scientists for some time. Some feel that it presents a serious threat to the health of our people. Others feel that the effects of the testing would present little or no menace. In any event, we cannot allow our fears to take pessession of our better judgment. Decisions such as the one made by Kennedy are necessary if we are to prove to ourselves and to the world that we are a nation to be respected. Korean War Orphan Adopted by Compassionate Girls of Sterling The Korean War of 1950-53 and the years that immediately followed left literally thousands of Korean children homeless, without fathers or mothers, and suffering from starvation and disease. Yoo Kyung Sook Obviously repulsive to States and tries. The such conditions were citizens of the United other civilized counquestion was, "What could be done?" Some people merely recognized the dilemma, while others decidde to do something about it. It is because of those, who decided to act instead of shaking their heads in dismay that an eleven-year-old Korean girl, who had lost both her parents, today has not one but 21 young mothers. Little Yoo Kyung Sook is undoubtedly very grateful to the residents of Sterling Hall who have adopted her and have agreed to he1p finance her education and life at the People Loving Christian Orphanage in Choonchun City, Korea. The girls decided a few weeks ago that they would like to do something worthwhile and found that through the Everett Swanson Evangelistic Association, Incorporated, they could sponsor a Korean orphan for as little as $8.00 a month. This was all the compassionate girls needed and without further delay arrangements were made for (continued on page 4) WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Cue and Curtain One-Act Plays - Chase Theater, Tonight, 8 p.m. Harpur Invitational Swimming Tournament - Saturday.

To the students of Wilkes College: On behalf of the entire staff of WRMC and the student body of Moravian College, may I extend our sincere appreciation of your kind hospitality as shown February 17, the night of the Wilkes-Moravian wrestling match. Without the necessary arrangements made with your Director of Athletics and his staff, as well as the welcome extended by the student body, this broadcast would not have been possible. May I also extend an invitation to all of you to visit Moravian at any time. Thank you again. Craig M. Borst Program Director, WRMC The Radio Voice of Mora~ ian College, Bethlehem Dear Editor, On behalf of Associated Women Students we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to those members of the faculty, administration, and student body, who graciously gave of their services for the recent "Best Dressed Coed on Campus" contest. These faculty members include Dr. Michelini, Dr. Jessee, Mr. Chapline, and Mr. Kirby who served as part of the judging panel. They were complemented by Miss Mildred Gittins and Mrs. Livingston Clewell. Our thanks also go to Mrs. Gertrude Doane, who assisted the organization in selecting the ten finalists, to Mr. Livingston Clewell, who .p rovided the excellent musical background for the show, and to Mrs. Barbara Fritz, whose clerical work aided our program. V-! e would especially thank three men from Gore Hall, Alan Gubanich, Richard Bender, and Alan Gilbert, who handled lighting and props. Associated W o m e n Students wishes to thank all who assisted the organization in making this show a success.

This w~ek's subject for ~e Student Sk.~tch, senior chemistry ma1or David Edwards, certamly has an electric" personality. He has made, from old radios, speakers, and "junk" around the ho~e, a setr~o set that actuall}'.' works. It is not quite as professional looking as the conventional type since it has six old speakers and wires under rugs; nevertheless, it works. Dave's galvanic interest began when, this year, he assisted D~. Detwilt:r. of !he P~ysics de~ent,_ in a research project with electricity m solid state physics mcluding crystals and salts. The research was sponsored by the Air Force and will be a project worked on in the new graduate program within the next two years. David Edwards Although his interest in electricity began recently, evidences of Dave's "electric" personality may be found throughout his high school and college years. He was president of his senior class at Meyers High School, and vice-president of its student council. On campus he has been, for two consecutive years, vice-president of his class and president of the Chemistry Club, and a member of the male chorus. Recently he was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Dave says that he has enjoyed his college years and is looking for ward to, after graduation, continartists of the Town and Gown Concert Sunday afternoon at 3 :30 to be held at the Wilkes College gym. Both programs will feature Mozart's "Serenade No. 11, · K. 375" and Dvorak's "Serenade in D Minor, Opus 44". Members of the ensemble are Donald Jones, oboe; Edward Yadzinski and Robert Kundreskas, ued laboratory work in analytical chemistry. He hopes to do graduate work and perhaps teach on the college level. For this work he believes that he has been well prepared at Wilkes. "I have found that industry," he explained, "is satisfied with the background and experience we receive here. Then language and science backgrounds which I have received at the College are certainly, I believe, comparable to those of any other highcaliber college. "Wilkes has been experiencing 'growing pains' in several fields," he added. "The science departments, for example, have grown r8:pidly since my freshman year with the addition of buildings and equi.pment." D a v e enumerated several scientific additions in equipment which will help students beco~e aware of what industry is us 1 n g: spectragraphs, graph-recording instruments, and x-ray defraction units for crystal study. Indeed as important, or perhaps more important, than laboratory space and equipment is another advantage of the College: professor-student contact. Dave says that he prefers a small college because one realizes a closer relationship - both academically and non-academically - with his professors. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Edwards of Wilkes-Barre, Dave has been making "sparks fly" in the chemistry and physics labs for several years. Who knows? Perhaps he will soon "electrify the world" with some shocking discoveries. He could, for instance, add video to his stereo! clarinet; Robert Eike, bassoon; Donivee Miller, horn; William Zaykowski, trombone; and Ray Nutaitus, tuba. Messrs. Martin Friedmann and Lawrence Weed, members of the music faculty of Wilkes, will conduct the Orchestra Festival and the Town and Gown Concert, respectively. KAMPUS KAMERA What is your opinion of President Kennedy's decision to resume atmospheric nuclear tests? Pat Rossi, junior, elementary education major Under the existing world circumstances, I sincerely believe that President Kennedy had no other choice but to resume nuclear testing. I think that the United States has every right to continue nuclear testing, as long as we keep in mind the possible consequences of fallout and world dissension, and attempt to work within certain limited bounds. Jerome Krasa, senior, political science major I favored our resumption of atmospheric testing after the Soviet Union did so last Fall and felt that it was only a matter of time before the President would make the announcement he did last week. However, he showed his political skill in the intervening months by winning public support for his stand, even from such former opponents of testing as Dr. Hans , ,, Beta of Cornell. Alfonso S. Zawadski, Registrar I am in favor of immediate resumptiQn of nuclear testing. This forthright action will deter the Soviet leaders from further attempts to deceive us. As a nation, I believe we have finally matured when we realize that to conciliate the matter with the Soviets is futile. It is my- sincere hope that this action will sober the thoughts of the Soviet military officials thereby causing a rift between their military and political chiefs concerning aggression. Bronis Kaslas, Associate Professor of History It is regretable that the United States bas to resume the nuclear tests. The motives, as expressed in the President's speech, for resuming the tests are very serious, and, I believe, that this will contribute to the preservation of peace. Allowing Russia to acquire an absolute superiority in military technology would, I think, increase the dangers of war. �Friday, March 9, 1962 Ted Toluba Registers Four Pins To Capture 167-Pound MAC Tille As a result of his stunning victories to gain the 167-pound championship at the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament at West Chester last weekend, Ted Toluba has been named Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. Ted began his victory skein by pinning Kenny Beaman of Delaware in 4:55. Next came Sam Goldberg of Albright who was disposed of by Ted, using a cradle hold in 1:15. Ben Portinof of Bucknell provided the next challenge for Toluba, but succumbed to the Wilkes grappler's superior speed and ability in 2:04. WILXFS COLLEGE BEACON 3 Aquamen Finish Season At MAC Tournament; Injuries Hamper Team Malmen Dethroned al West Chesler; Gardner, Toluba Capture Titles by Kathy Thomas The mermen were represented in the MAC tourney at Gettysburg last week, and although they bowed to defeat, the swimmers gave their opponents a struggle never to be forgotten. Colonel aquamen in the tourney were John J. Miller and Ron Masters in the diving competition, and Gary Greaker in the 200-yard backstroke. In pre-season practice, prospects looked bright for the on-coming year, but during the season, the team was faced with disaster time after time. In the first meet, the mermen were winning when one of the better swimmers was disqualified and this forced Wilkes to a defeat. Gary Greaker, a strong backstroker, suffered a broken bone in his elbow, causing him to miss two important meets. The two team captains were also lost to the squad, due to school averages. Tom Troy, a sure pointgetter, dislocated his knee before the first meet; thus he, too, was lost to the team for the remainder of the season. The practice schedule of Wilkes' swimmers was restricted because of complications of their practice pool at the YMCA. These difficulties undoubtedly had some effect on this year's success of the team. However there were a few bright spots during the season. The team had set three new school records. In the 400-yard relay against Drexel, Gary Greaker, Dick Bender, Roger Rolfe, and John J. Miller lowered the record by two seconds. The time was 5:02.7 and reduced to 5:00. In the 50-yard freestyle against Harpur College, Jack Barnes cut the record of 25 :4 to 25 :3. In the backstroke, Gary Greaker broke the 200-yard recourse twice during the year. In the last meet of the season he reduced the record of 2:58.8 by 5 seconds, making a new time of 2 :53.5. Even though the mermen have not had the successful season expected by all fans, next year's TED TOLUBA meets might be more gratifying, For the past four seasons Ted especially since the team now has The finals found Ted matched with Swarthmore's Al W at 1 er. has been one of the stalwarts of three freshmen who stand high in After leading throughout the bout, John Reese's wrestling squad.

Chuck Robbins After five years of domination of Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling, the Wilkes grapplers were dethroned last Saturday by the Warriors of Lycoming College at the MAC tournament at West Chester. The Lycoming wrestlers, whom the Colonels defeated during the season in a dual meet, amassed 70 points to unseat the defending champions. Although the Colonels came out of the tourney with two individual champions, John Gardner at 147 pounds, and Ted Toluba at 167 pounds, they were able to account for only 37 points and were delegated to a fourth place tie with Hofstra. West Chester was runnerup in the tourney with 55 points while Bucknell came in third with 44.

Heavyweight - Warden, Drexel, pinned Brunza (W), 7:23. John Gardner Several key factors contribute to the fall of Wilkes from the apex of MAC wrestling. A disabling injury to Bob Ainsworth, 177-pound performer, who had been undefeated this season, created a vacuum in his weight class. It is ironic that the champion at 177 this year was Lycoming's Dave Fortin, whom Ainsworth had beaten soundly in this year's dual meet with the Warriors. Another factor in the Wilkes defeat was the failure of Brooke Yeager to secure his expected championship. Brooke got to the semi-finals by registering two falls. In the semi-final, however, he was decisioned, 8-2, by Don Hannon of Hofstra. The significance of this loss lies in the fact that Brooke defeated Hannon earlier this season. John Gardner turned in an outstanding effort in winning the 147pound title. John fashioned his victory through three decisions and one fall. The former West Side Catholic wrestler took a 5-4 time advantage decision from Bernie Coyle of Bucknell in the final to acquire the championship. Ted Toluba collected the Outstanding Wrestler award in winning the 167-pound title. (See "Athlete of the Week" story, this page.)

The play is scheduled to run five evenings with the champion being crowned on March 21. In late action the hoopsters of Warner Hall captured a cliffhanging victory over Barre Hall, 51-48, as Bob King tapped in two late baskets for the margin of victory. Barre held a fivepoint lead at the half but the Warnermen made a major comeback to score the win. Bud Menaker led the victors with 16 points as Gary Einhorn and Bob King combined for 17 points. Bill Douglas led the Barremen with 18 points. The Playboys kept their winning skein alive in American League play by downing the Hot Ashes, 69-41. Dave Peters led the victors with 19 points as Smith, Fudjack, and Gelli also hit twin figures. Joe Cobleigh led the Hot Ashes with 10 points.

To date Sterling Hall has r eceived Yoo Kyung Sook's adoption papers, her .photograph, and an outline of her foot. A brief outline of her background was also r eceived by Sieglinde Vallot, the dormitory's secretary. Sieglinde r elated that the little girl and her sister were foun d roaming the streets by the superintendent of a religious home. She was only eight years old, her father had been killed during the war, and her mother had died of disease. Sieglinde described the little Korean girl as a cheerful and excellent student in the 6th grade at the So Yang Primary School. Her health is normal now and her favorite subject is the Korean language. She also has a talent for handiwork. Mrs. Mary Crawford and the girls from Sterling Hall have made plans to write letters and to send packages as often as possible to their adopted daughter. They expr essed a hope that the tradition they have -i nitiated be handed down from year to year until Yoo Kyung Sook is ready for college.

A CAREER The "New Eyes for the Needy Campaign", which is being conducted by the Economics Club, will continue until March 24. The campaign will aid a non-profit organization which services sixty-seven hospitals and clinics in the United States and in foreign countries. Last year the Economics Club collected three thousand, five hundred pairs of glasses for the organization. Solons Set Policies, Clarify Constitution, Create Minor Court Members of the Student Government made full use of their administrative power on Monday evening as they reviewed several new policies submitted by Mike Bianco. The policies, if adopted, would broaden the scope of Student Government action. The first policy permanently defines the much disputed term "recognized activity" as one whose constitution has been submitted to and approved by the Student Government, or, in the case of a campus activity with off-campus affiliates (A WS, CCUN), one whose constitution has been approved by the Student Government and the Administration. The second new policy deals with dispersal of funds by the Student Government. In distributing funds from the Extracurricular Activities Budget, the solons' new policy, which affects the Intercollegiate Conference Fund, a fund which provides for the partial sponsorship of student participation in off-campus conferences, would increase the $10 personal reimbursement to $15 per member per conference and would increase the total club reimbursement from $150 to $165 per year. As a part of the last policy submitted, the Student Government, sitting as a Committee of the Whole, would be empowered to act as a court, adjusting differences between students and faculty members without the aid of the Deans. Under this policy students would have the privilege of "judgment by their peers," and could take adverse decisions to the formal Court of Appeals of the Student Government. According to Ted Begun, junior Student Government representative, "The enactment of this policy would provide the first positive step t o w a r d a student-administered honor system." Tacked on to all policies submitted is a provision for the enforcement of all Stud!mt Government decisions by means of financial and social penalties. The solons, after hearing and reviewing the new policies referred them to committee for final revision. A collection box was placed in front of Pomeroy's Department Store in addition to those which have been placed on campus. Gold and silver articles, jewelry, and sunglasses are also being collected. The gold and silver is melted down and sold to the government; then the money is used for purchasing glasses for the needy. The Economics Club is contacting local eye doctors in order to locate discarded glasses. The lost and found departments of city department stores are also contacted as sources for the glasses. Members of the campaign committee are Andrew Serafin, Joseph Demarco, Rob e rt Chamberlain, William McIntyre, chairman; Joseph Barnard, Martin Schultz, Anthony Butsavage, Gordon Schneider.

Seminar Thursday, 8 p.m. Commons The Beacon WILKES COLLEGE Vol. XXVI, No. 19 "Censorship and Individual Responsibility" is the topic of the second seminar to be sponsored this semester by Associated Women Students. The seminar will be held Thursday evening at 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Commons. Joseph Kanner, member of the psychology department, will lead the discussion. The topic of censorship has become a co~troversal. iss1;1e. Many people feel it comes m direct conflict with democratic ideals. The Pennsylvania state government, for example, has abolished its censorship board, feeling that this responsibility can be left in the hands of the family unit and public opinion. State courts, however, made decisions on alleged obscenity in certain motion pictures and works f f' t· 0 ic ion. Public opinion has been responsible for certain forms of censorship in this community. Any students and faculty members who have opinion on this topic or are interested in the discussion are invited to attend. With this in mind, the need of government censorship can be questioned. If censorship is needed, to what extent should it be used, and in what way restricted. These, and other points, will be brought out at Thursday's seminar. Marine Corps Interviews To Be Held on Campus The Marine Corps Selection Officer Captain F. H. Mitchell, Jr. will be on campus Wednesday and Thursday to interview men and women students for the Marine Corps Officer training programs. In addition the Officer Selection Team will also be at the Commons to provide information and interview applicants. All Marine officer training is conducted at Quantico, Virginia. Qualified seniors who accept the challenge of Marine leadership training will be draft deferred upon enrollment until they have met the requirements for their degree and graduation. Upon graduation, they will attend a tenweek training course and then be commissioned. Qualified applicants may choose to go to Marine flight training, after commissioning, to win the coveted "Wings of Gold" of a Leatherneck pilot. Women applicants, with extensive background experience, may be guaranteed initial assignment to the field of their choice.

Rees will enter into final competition with the choices of four other districts. The General Session opened at l p.m. with Rees presiding in the capacity of Wilkes' permanent chairman. He was assisted by five parliamentarians. Legislative interests ran high at Sunday's meeting which was attended by approximately 200 members of ICG chapters from colleges in eastern Pennsylvania. Registration of the participating schools began Sunday morning followed by a meeting of the rules committee at which time bills from Cedar Crest College, Keystone Junior College, King's College, Kutztown State Collge, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Lycoming College, Marywood, Hazelton Extension of Pennnsylvania State University, University of Scranton, Stroudsburg State College, and Wilkes College were docketed.

This is an eternal philosophical question which has troubled mankind from the Peking Man to the twentieth century moralists. Rasho-Mon, a Japanese film being presented tonight at 7 p.m. by the Manusccript Film Society, explores this rather abstract concept on the level of human action. Unfolding what seems to be at first a familiar tale, the film describes a brutal act-the waylaying of a merchant and his wife resulting in the murder of a merchant. Giving this time-worn plot a new twist, the crime is enacted four times from four different angles by the bandit, his wife, a witness, and the dead merchant through a medium. Comprehensive Fee Plan Approved by Board An increase in the annual comprehensive fee at St. Olaf College from $1575 to $1700 to become effective in September, 1962, has been approved by the college's Board of Regents. The increase will only affect students enrolling here for the first time and those few students on campus who did not attempt to take advantage of the college's optional four-year guaranteed cost plan. Approximately 75 per cent of eligible students elected the plan which protects them against cost increases. Present students under the plan will continue at annual fees which average $1575 per year. New students can elect to have the $1700 fee guaranteed for their four years. The guaranteed cost plan, introduced in December, 1960, as the college's effort to ease the effects of spiraling educational costs on parents and students, guarantees to the students who choose the plan that the comprehensive fee will stay the same throughout their college career. An increase in the college's financial aid program was also approved. In the academic year 196162 the aid program totaled $555,000 in scholarships, loans, part-time work and other forms of aid to 1,079 students. In 1962-63, the aid program will total $615,000 for 1,125 students. In weaving these four contradictory tales into an engrossing and intriguing film, Director Akira Kurosawa has employed both a sometimes ghostly camera work and a careful use of musical background to emphasize the violence and basal animalism of his characters.

One of the most evident to the watchful eyes of student leaders is the lack of participation in collegiate activities by the students in general. Many members of the senior class are away from campus a good part of the time in connection with special studies in their major field. In addition to this, however, we have noted that general student cooperation seems to have reached a low. A reminder is in order here that although we are rapidly approaching the end of another year, the time for a vacation has not yet come. We still have an important responsibility to fulfill to our fellow students and to our college in the form of participation in college-sponsored activities. The Beacon. like many other campus organizations, joins in a renewed plea for student assistance in all extracurricular projects. Learning from Other Cultures Boston University's College of Liberal Arts has announced that a Greek major language sequence has been instituted and revived in the college curriculum. According to a spokesman for the university, the revival has been sparked by the National Defense Education Act and a broad general feeling that Americans are backward linguistically. Recognition of a lack of understanding of our own language and of the benefits which can be gained through the study of another language is a step forward in the development of the American mind. The university spokesman also pointed out that people who have sudied translated versions of the classics in great books courses are now anxious to read the original. The addition of this sequence at Boston University vividly points out that there is virtually no limit to which educational advancement may go. There is much to be gained from a knowledge of civilizations of the past as well as from present-day cultures other than our own. We as Americans have come to realize that although our culture is superior in many ways, there is still much to be done to maintain this superiority in a world of nations that are ever striving to make advancements. Harvard Freshmen Prove Capable Of Holding Own in Seminar Group In his annual report, released recently, President Nathan M. Pusey of Harvard University points out that "the fact that the incoming Harvard . College ·student is now better prepared and motivated than was his counterpart a decade or more ago has resulted in a variety of changes in the instructional program and related activities of the College. These changes have come about gradually, often without central planning, but taken together they illustrate a new, exciting, and flexible pattern in undergraduate life. Who would have forecast, thirty years ago, for example, that the customary Freshman Week could feature lively student discussion of C. P. Snow's 'The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution,' based on an interchange of views by Professors MacLeish and Wald? Or who would have foreseen the series of smaller meetings at which freshmen heard, over cider, a variety of other Harvard luminaries talk about books, music, and art along avenues suggested by an optional summer reading list? Yet these things happened a year ago and this last fall. In addition, the college continued the popular system of credit seminars designed to draw new students into some• what less formal, more personal relationships with mature scholars than is .p ossible in the traditional courses offerings. In its second year of trial, this scheme attracted 300 students into 36 seminars. Another innovation was the division of the freshman class, for advising and counseling, into five geographically convenient dormitory groups of 200 to 250 students each, roughly comparable to 'Houses.' Each group has a Senior Adviser and a number of other advisers. Each group, too, has a common (continued on pace 8) WHAT - WHERE - WHEN Manuscript Film, "Rascho-Mon" - Stark 116, Tonight, 7-9 .p.m. Sophomore Class Dance--Gym, Tonight, 9 p.m. Wilkes-Barre Ballet-Irem Temple, Saturday, 8 p.m. Beacon Staff Meeting-Pickering 101, Tuesday, 12:15 p.m. Assembly, William D.

Of course, the worldfamous "Kickapoo Indian .Sagwa", including the anti-pain oil, salve, cough cure, and worm killer, is Nature's best remedy made from roots, herbs, and barks. These "sure cures" recall the self-doctoring of Grandpa's days-the days when picturesque and flamboyant characters made their fortunes by thinking up a disease, a pill, a catchy name. In his book, One For A Man, Two For A Horse, Gerald Carson reviews the story of symptom counting and self-treatment down through the generations. Hnudreds of rare pictures and captions tell the story of a spectacular industry of home cure which shrouded its patent medicines (for man and beast) in secrecy and advertising. Mr. Carson's book, which our library has recently added to its collection of "Reading for Fun and Enjoyment", has several interesting chapters: Manhood - Lost and Found; Weak Women; She Put It In Her Papa's Coffee; It Hung Behind The Kitchen Stove.

Friday, March 16, 1962 A great honor has been bestowed upon Michael Bianco in having been the first Wilkes College student to have been accepted by the Peace Corps. After taking the competitive examination, Mike has fufilled the reqirements for becoming a Peace Corpsman. He reported that he has been given his preference of going to Africa. As Mike stated, "I like the African people, and I feel that these countries need the most aid from the United States. It presents the greatest challenge to me." Even though Mike has been accepted, he is not certain that he will enter the Corps. It is understandable since he has also been accepted by graduate school and law school. Whatever Mike selects t~ do, _it will be toward fulfilling his desire to make a career in public service and government. In preparing for his career, Mike has had .p lenty of experience in government work. On campus, he has been a student government representative for the past three years se:"ing as Vice-President this year'. His work has been beneficial to both the students and the organization. Last year, he initiated the work in formulating the evaluation committee on extracurricular activities. From his own observations, he commented that it is the students' fault if they do not receive proper representation, in which students Michael Bianco with ability can be elected. As Mike stated, ."This can be carried over to public offices as well. The TRES CHIC people are at fault if there is graft and mismanagement of government.'' Mike would like to see the Student Court developed in order that the students would eventually have complete jurisdiction over themselves. Another change which by Maryann Wilson Mike desires is an alteration of the i:eople who work in retailing are campus drinking policy which resigned to think of themselves as would add more to the student reSaturday's children, forced by cus- sponsibility.

While it is true that in the few short years of its existence the college has been able to acquire, both through gifts and outright purchases, extensive property holdings, the school is still in its relative infancy. Changes and improvements in its existing holdings, along with several proposed acquisitions, are planned for the future. These · changes are designed to beautify, as well as add to the value of, the physical side of the school and to create a "true campus" on which the intellectual side can develop more fully. Although many of these improvements will not be completely accomplished for several years, they are awaited with a keen sense of anticipation. Of course, far more is being done than merely waiting. These plans are being implemented as fast as opportunities and resources permit. Such development has not gone, and really cannot go, unnoticed. City Council, in planning for the redevelopment of the city, is vitally interested in whatever plans are being made by the college as to its future expansion. The Council recognizes the contributions that the college makes to the community's economy, intellectually and socially as well as financially. However, it must, of necessity, also 'Preserve as much taxable property within the central city business district as possible. This is the most lucrative taxing district in any city and much of such property in Wilkes-Barre has been removed from the tax rolls in recent years as the two city colleges have expanded toward central city. Faced with reconciling the need for this growth with the future needs of the city itself, Council solved the dilemma by creating in its Zoning Ordinances a classification titled "Special Purpose Districts." Under this plan, Wilkes' future growth will be channeled in a direction to the south of central city. This -p lan precludes the college from expanding any further into central city. It does not, however, mean that the college must relinquish any of its present holdings. In fact, Dr. Farley explained to Council that the college contemplates retaining all its present properties in the city. This is necessary, he said, if the college is to meet the demands that will be placed upon its facilities in a few years as the -p ost-World War II "baby-boom" reaches college age. The first phase in the college's southward expansion will be the construction of the proposed dormitory on land that the college hopes to obtain in the general area of Wright and South Streets. With the completion of this facility, set for September 1963, the dormitory capacity will be increased by 250 rooms and will also provide for new eating facilities. Many other ·p lans are being made for the next several years in the continuing program of developing the college. However, final details on some of these are still tentative and will be announced as they are made definite. STUDENT SKETCH (continued from pace 2) than to benefit the organization. Having been a commuter, he realizes that they often do not have the time. He also said, "In fact, some clubs do not offer appealing programs to get the student to join." In addition to his other achievements, Mike has been named -t o the Dean's List and to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

Private Citizens Urged To Support Kennedy In Fight Against Crime After one year in office, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and his staff of young, idealistic lawyers are moving toward a showdown with major league crime. But victory over the barons of gangsterdom will depend equally on millions of "average citizens" who until now have shown alarming willingness to go along with organized crime. In an article in a recent Reader's Digest which makes these points, Lester Velie details some of the frightening influences wielded by Big Crime, which reaches its tentacles into business, labor, and just about every other segment of our society. The "take" from gambling alone, for example, is between 10 and 15 billion dollars yearly. Kennedy is changing things as much as 'Possible. He has pulled together talent from 20 government agencies, has them cooperating instead of competing as they once did. He has built a national anti-crime force led by his own staff of 53 brilliant young lawyers, who serve at salaries just about equal to those of skilled construction workers. Among the significant accompishments of these crime fighters is the first f u 11 y comprehensive "Who's Who in Big Crime," with complete dossiers on some 600 crime chieftains. But the Digest article warns that Kennedy's work can be robbed of much effectiveness if the average citizen continues to ignore or to gloss over organized crime. Maybe you don't think of yourself in these terms. But consider for a moment. Have you ever placed a bet with a bookie? If so, you're encouraging crime. You are, indeed, a co-conspirator in a crime. Do you take an active part in politics? Crooks do. They spend approximately fifteen per cent of the total sums contributed to all state and local election campaigns. It is only when each of us refuses to accept crime as "just one of those things" and takes an active role in helping to stamp it out that we will be clearly on our way to smashing it for good. Bob Kennedy and his staff are doing their part. Are you doing yours ? Bio-physicist Suggests Study of Mind's Mysteries EVANSTON, ILL. (IP)-Biophysicists, now scattered among many departments at universities, should get together for an organized attack on the mysteries of "the most complex and wonderful phenomenon available to scientific investigation, the mind itself." This was the challenge thrown out by MIT Biophysicist Francis 0. Schmitt in a recent lecture at Northwestern University. While bio-physicists have prospects "thrilling and challenging beyond (those) of any previous period in the history of science," they are nevertheless in too many scattered lications on American campuses, he asserts. In such centers should be located "the most expensive hardware and specialized technicians" needed for the most advanced research. And if well-planned, such research centers result in cross-fertilization of ideas and backgrounds, have the William D.

The heavy artillery of the West Pittston corps proved too strong for the undermanned Serutan squad. Wruble and Foy registered 34 points between them for the Heads as Len Yoblonski proved to be the whole Serutan offense with 29 points. After dropping a much-disputed 61-60 decision to the Playboys in regular season play, the Shawneeites proved the fast-breaking guerrilla tactics superior with a 50-39 victory. "Tosh" Karmilovich ripped the opponent's defense for 24 points while Matt Himlin added 10 to the winning cause. "Snuffy" Smith and Ray Marchikaitus were rebounding specialists for the Shawneeites while John Tensa and Barry Bryant were the field generals. Dave Peters and Joe Fudjack led the Playboys with 10 points each. Counter-attacking Warner Hall overcame a three point deficit at intermission to upend the Barre Hall forces, 62-59.

Teams interested in participating in the intramural softball league this year are asked to turn their rosters in to Mr. Reese at the gym. The league will start as soon as the weather breaks, and information on the number of teams expecting to enter the competition is needed to form a schedule. j Matthew Himlin With one eye on the ball and the other anxiously watching the skies for signs of outdoor practice weather, the 1962 edition of the Colonel baseball team began indoor workouts in the gym last Monday afternoon under the tutelage of Head Coach Mike Dydo. The hopeful candidates, numbering in the twenties, are using the indoor sessions to learn the basics of base running but are eager to get to the Wilkes field diamond to make their bid for a starting berth. Top holdovers from last year's squad are Matt Himlin, Lou Zampetti, and Paul Aquilino. Himlin played his first year of intereollegiate ball last year and ended the season among the MAC top batters. The cagey leftfielder is a "spraytype" hitter and should be a valuable leadoff man for the Colonels. Third baseman Lou Zampetti will be counted on to furnish the "power" in the lineup. Last season the "hot cornerman" teamed with Bobby Ontko to give the Wilkes- Louis Zam.petti ••• of electric power This is Pennsylvania's "highway system" of electric power . .. ready for any demand or any emergency. The lines charted on this map are part of the great electric grid that covers the nation, connecting the facilities of more than 100 investor-owned electric companies. This vast network of power is a reality today because the forward-looking, business-managed electric industry planned it that way. And now, even greater facilities are under construction or on the drawing boards, to secure the nation's power future for many years ahead. Over the next 20 years electric utility companies will be spending more than $143 billion for construction of facilities. This money will come, not from taxes but from voluntary investment by individuals who have faith in the performance of an industry which has always been ready to meet all power demands . . . which has continuously contributed to a higher standard of living at progressively lower cost. men a longball threat. Aquilino will be ending his collegiate career this season and early indications show it should be a highly successful year. "Ack" will be the first sacker after patrolling the outfield the past three years. Returning to take their place on the mound will be veterans Bob Fleming, Joe Krucek, Nick Alesandro, and Mike Schwefel. These pitchers will have a veteran receiving corps of Len Yonkoski and Ken Ludmer to back up their "fastballing". Leading first year candidates are 'Doc' Vosheski, Tom Trosko, and Len Rishoski. Vosheski is a slickfielding second baseman who led the Newport Twp. nine into Valley finals last year. Looming as a topnotch shortstop candidate is Tom Trosko, a scrappy ex-Plains High diamondman who may team with Vosheski to give the Colonels a very effective double-play combination. Rishoski is a 'dark horse' candidate for the catching chores of the Colonels. 'Big Len' starred as a 'junior Yogi Berra' while serving with the U.S. Army. The top candidate for the centerfield post is veteran Bill Mulford. He covered the center grasses for the Dydomen in the closing games of last season and did a very formidable job. Opening action for the squad will be April 3 when they travel to Muhlenburg to meet the Mules in an exhibition game. $ PENNSYLVANIA ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION 20 Independent, Investor-Owned Electric Companies of Pennsylvania "Even back in Grampa's time there was something to make ,-ou sleep ••• they called it work." �'Friday, March 16, 1962 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON Major League Oulcomes Predicled By Group of Assorled Experls CAGERS TOP M.A.C. FREE-THROW LINE This week the Beacon Sports Staff again departs from its usual conservative position in attempting to predict the outcome of the 1962 Major League baseball season. Of course we were compelled to throw away our Goldwater buttons, but we chose to make this great sacrifice in the interest of journalism, and .b esides this is the only way that we can fill up the sports page. Aiding us in this journey into mysticism was a group of our cohorts, who, through their wise counsel, enable us to circumvent our capacity for incompetence. Among these wizards of baseball prognostication were Bill Roots, eminent Dupont pool-shark; Barry Bryant, barfly; John McDermott, noted restauranteur (who also received one vote for National League Most Vaiuable Player); Joe Lukavitch, carpetbagger; Mr. Harvey Jones, custadian of Pringle Street School; Jim Shilling, head mat coach at Kingston High School and George Tensa's cooperating teacher; Francis A. Mikolanis, bar-maid; Steve Phillips Wanamie temperance advocate; Jerry Krasa, dedicated student of logi; and football fan; Lou Rauscher, S:p orts Editor of the SUNDAY INDEPENDENT, Arthur Hoover, Wilkes sports publicity director; Walt Sweetra, one of the King's men; Lo Zampetti, third-baseman; and Donald Hancock, die-hard Pirate fan. Further advice come from Barry Goldwater, a Congressman or something; and Pancho Herrera, formerly the world's largest secondbaseman. Also aiding and abetting in our predictions were assorted table-hoppers and sundry other people who, although not interested in baseball, happened to be standing around when we handed out poll sheets.

The Wilkesmen sank 244 shots of 309 attempts in 14 games to register the league-leading average. Harvey Rosen, for the second consecutive year, proved himself "King of the Free-Throw Line" in the MAC. He tossed in 76 of 87 attempts for a percentage of .873. Bob Fleming and John Moore also ranked among the top ten foul shooters in the same division with .818 and .781 percentages respectively. In individual scoring, Rosen also placed high in the ranks by coming in fifth with a 19-8 average. He summed up a grand total of 278 points, falling behind the first ·p lace scorer by only 94 points, a mere total when comparing individual scoring for an entire season with all the colleges in the MAC recordings. . John Moore again won recognition by placing eleventh with an average of 16.7, aided by his 218 total number of points scored. Another Davisman placed in the top twenty-five leading scorers by totaling 180 points for an average of 13.8. Bob Fleming was listed as the twentieth place ·p layer in individual scoring. . The Wilkes basketball team has proved itself a great and promising contender in the -hoop league, with strength and determination the main factors. by the poll. These were leading batter, most home runs, runs batted in, and Most Valuable Player. The other department voted upon was that of leading pitcher and, although there was concerted effort from various lobby groups about campus, we just couldn't convince Mr. Mantle that he was a ·p itcher. The honor, however, did go to a teammate of his, Whitey Ford. Individual leaders in the Senior Circuit created quite a bit of discontent and general indignance ( especially from the Goldwater Camp) among the participants in the poll although physical violence was averted through the skillful arbitration and good offices provided by the women of TDR. Selected to lead the league in batting is Henry Aaron of the Braves followed closely by Roberto Clemente of the Pirates. RBI honors will go to Orlando Cepeda of the Giants after a close contest with Aaron. Cepeda is also designated to be the home run king of the circuit. The honor of Most Valuable Player will go to ·p erhaps the best all-around player in modern baseball, Willie Mays, the colorful centerfielder of the Giants. The leading pitcher will be the perennial Warren Spahn. As one might easily discern, a good deal of research and contemplation has gone into the forming of the above predictions and they should be looked upon as a hallmark in the annals of the Beacon sports coverage. Brooke Yeager Captures 4-1 Championship During Weekend Tournament at Kent State; Ed Rutkowski Annexes Second 191-Pound Crown Take a junior biology major, add a pinch of wrestling attire and a dash of mat savvy, sprinkle in a campus at Kent State, and mix in the 4-1 wrestling tourney and you have Brooke Yeager annexing another title to his long list of conquests.

Brooke Yeager -------------6 Athletes To Be Feted At All-Sports Banquet Drawing a bye in the opening action Yeager met Robert Hamilton of CCNY in the quarter-finals and disposed of the New Yorker in an easy fashion, 10-0. In the semifinals he met his toughest opposition in the person of Dave Abling of Toledo University. Abling carried a 10-1 ledger and the title of the Mid-American Conference into the match but couldn't cope with the agile moves of Yeager and dropped a 5-3 decision. In the championship match Yeager utilized a reversal and riding time to decision Tom Vataha of Kent State, 3-0. For his winning effort Yeager received a trophy and the college also received a winner's plaque. Ted Toluba also saw action in the tourney and advanced to the semi-finals before being decisioned by AAU champion Eric Moyer of Springfield College. Ed Rutkowski, former Kingston High School grappler and now wearing the colors of the "Irish from South Bend", won the 191pound action for the second consecutive year by running roughshod over four opponents.

The impresario brings his orchestra to the gym next Saturday evening at 8:30 o'clock for the Junior Class Jazz Concert. Contrary to popular opinion, Duke Ellington's music is not the type that is confined to the back street "dives" of our larger cities. His listeners range from the lovers of "le jazz hot", through fans of long hair, to that noble group of modem young Americans, the Twisters. Because each of these groups can find something of merit in Ellington's music that has remained on the American musical scene since the early 1920's. Such works as his Mood Indigo have set the pace of contemporary American music. His appeal to all age and social groups is shown in some of his recent works. He composed and recorded the score for the movies Anatomy Of A M:Urder and Paris Blues as well as the score for the television series Asphalt Jungle. Serious audiences have, too, accepted his work. He was the first bandleader to "crack" Carnegie Hall and has returned there annually since 1943 to premiere a major work. He appears yearly at Acamemy Hall in Philadelphia and at the Civic Opera in Chicago. His composition Harlem was commissioned by the NBC Symphony Orchestra when that group was led by Arturo Toscanini. Yet, his works also receive wide popular acclaim. In recent years, he has recorded many albums and long play records which enjoy widespread circulation. Because hi~ works become and remain standards his appeal to all age groups increases continually. Editor's Note Students can judge the results of this extensive background for themselves next Saturday evening for a general admission charge of $2. Tickets can be purchased at the Square Record Shop or from members of the junior class. Reserve seat tickets cost $3.50 and reservations can be made by calling VA 3-9003 or by writing Conrad Wagner, in care of the College. Music Students Present Varied Compositions At Next Assembly Radio Club Expands Station Equipment To Achieve Goal The Amateur Radio Club has reached their goal of owning a complete set of equipment for their radio station. This was achieved with the purchase of a receiver set. Previously, the radio equipment used by the club was owned by individual members with the result that when a member graduated, the group lost the use of that person's equipment. "Having a complete set of equipment will help the club attain a permanent status among the activities of campus," says Richard Emmel, president of the ARC. As the students who eat lunch in the Commons know, the members of the Amateur Radio Club provide an announcement service during lunch hours. Each Tuesday and Thursday at noon, John Biga, secretary of the ARC and a radio announcer for WPTS, broadcasts announcements concerning campus activities by way of the PA system in the Commons. There is no charge for this service and any member of the faculty or student body may have announcements made by placing the information in the Amateur Radio Club mailbox in the bookstore. Another current activity of the Radio Club is that of advising the School Spirit Committee now in the process of •p urchasing equipment for a new public address system to be used at college activities. As for the future, the club members are making long range plans which will probably be completed sometime during the next school year. These plans include the initiation of a radiogram service, and the establishment of a college "net." The amateur radio clubs in other colleges will arrange to be on the air at the same time, thus enabling them to have discussion. Officers of the ARC for the spring semester are as follows; president, Richard Emmel; vicepresident, William Shukis; secretary, John Biga; treasurer, Jerry Berk. Members of the music department will present a varied program consisting of choral and instrumental music in assembly next Thursday. The Women's Chorus will begin the program by presenting several folk songs, including three lively HUngarian Folk Songs and two American folk songs, Ten Little Indians and I have Decided To Be An Old Maid. The group will also sing several show tunes, including So In I.C.G.

Philharmonic Group Offers Brahms Concert; Rabin Is Soloist by Mary Alice Gabla The internationally - celebrated violinist, Michael Rabin, will star in an all Brahms program this Monday night when the WilkesBarre Philharmonic presents its annual Spring Concert at 8 :30 at the Irem Temple. Though he is now only twentyfive years old, Mr. Rabin has made numerous tours, transversing the United States and Europe with an appearance in Israel, as well. His training began when he was 6 years old and his official debut was made when he was only 14. He is considered the youngest soloist ever to have appeared on the Bell Telephone Hour. Credited with being Rabir,'s principle teacher is Ivan Gallamian, a violinist, famous in his own right. In the course of his career, Rabin has played with, among others, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. A student rate of 75 cents per ticket is available.

Several other proposed constitutional revisions were made at this meeting. One involved changing the number of freshmen representatives from three. to four, another proposed that the deans review the grade average of all nominees to class offices on the basis of the semester during which the nominee is running for office. It was also brought out that the sophomore class is circulating a petition on campus for an increase in library hours. Any member of the student body may sign this petition. Government members passed a motion to make this year's Cinderella Ball semi-formal. The vote was eight in favor three against, and one abstention. A committee is investigating the possibility of having a name dance band at this year's ball. It was announced at the meeting that a Spanish film, the "Spanish Civil War", narrated by the late Ernest Hemingway, and sponsored by the Student Government, will be presented May 30. Naval Information Team On Campus Next Week A Navy Information Team will visit the campus on March 27 and 28 to discuss the Navy Officer Candidate School Program with interested students. The Information Team will hold the discussions in the Commons. The Navy Officer Candidate School is a program whereby young men with college degrees may obtain commissions after four months of schooling at Newport, Rhode Island. Applications for selection may be submitted at any time after completion of the junior year. In order to qualify a student must have a college degree, be a citizen of the United States, and be between the ages of 19 and 27. Classes convene at Newport every two months. Applications are now being accepted for the 1962 classes. �Friday, March 23, 1962 • WIUES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS- Student Government Aid A group of students at the University of Colorado recently formed a campus political party called the Students' Council of Political Education (SCOPE). According to a spokesman for the party, the group aspires "to a daring concept of education and dedication to ideals which can make student government more responsible to the students as a whole." By inviting political leaders to speak before the group, SCOPE plans to mold both farsighted and practical leadership. The group is not designed to serve as a critical body to the student government, but rather to aid the campus salons by keeping students informed of the activities of their leaders and by helping the individual students to understand the problems encountered in working toward the various goals of the student government. Such an organization recognizes a need prvalent on many campuses today, that is, the need for a liaison b.e tween campus leaders and the students they represent. Forums are held at which time problems common to all students are aired. Programs such as this, which provide the general student body with an opportunity to meet with and question the policies of student leaders are beneficial to all concerned and in many instances, small problems may be solved before larger problems develop. Peace Corps' Birthday The Peace Corps recently celebrated its first anniversary and the accomplishments which it has made during the past year have brought a great deal of attention to the program. Since its inception, the Corps has sent trained, qualified personnel to work in twelve foreign countries. Although criticism of the program ran high at its beginning, the effort put forth by the Corps has proven the idea worthy of acclaim. In addition to the good will it is building up abroad through its many services, the Peace Corps is also providing a great service here at home in the training which is being offered to our young people through the program. The services which will be rendered by these people upon their return to the United States will be invaluable. Applications for the Peace Corps have been received from every state in the union, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. The Corps has selected 698 volunteers from a group of 18,000 applicants. President Kennedy has asked that the Peace Corps budget be increased to $63,750,000, an increase of some $33 million over this year. With this, he plans to have some 6,700 volunteers in the field by mid-1963. If present high standards are continued, this increased amount will be justified. The Peace Corps is a powerful force for good in a world torn by bitter threats and accusations. Extensive Laboratory Equipment Planned for Slark Extension by Barbara A. Lore An x-ray laboratory, radioactive laboratory and storage room, instrument shop, several research laboratories, and a science library are only a few of the features to be included in the new research center of Wilkes College, according to Dr. Daniel Detwiler, Chairman of the physics department.

Senior music education major Robert Eike has the answer, "Listen to music, of course." And perhaps by that time it will be Bob's music that moon travelers will be listening to. In the interim, however, Bob plans to study for his master's degree and teach. He is presently student teaching in the city grade schools. Unlike the other fields in student teaching which enable seniors to spend eight consecutive weeks teaching in one school, music education majors student teach during both semesters of their senior year in various area schools. Bob taught general music last semester at G.A.R junior high school. This semester he is teaching instrumental groups in the local grade schools. Shilanski Attends CCUN Regional Conference; Varied Topics Discussed Jerry Shilanski, state chairman of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, attended the Middle Atlantic Regional Conference of the CCUN in Washington, D.C. on March 10 through 13. The purpose of the Conference was to coordinate the activities of the CCUN chapters in the region and to discuss methods for solving the problems which arise among the member nations of the United Nations. Robert Eike The region is comprised of the _______________ A States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware and the District of Columbia. It was repre- TRJ;:S CHIC sented by 100 students, the number of those attending being restricted to provide a more personal nature to the Conference. Colors In Leather Brighten Spring Scene In conjunction with the CCUN conference, the American Association for the United Nations was conducting its 12th annual meeting of national organizations. The program of the CCUN conference merged with that of the AA UN from Sunday evening through Tuesday. During this time, various groups were held with the subjects ranging from "A Disarmed World With Law" to "A World Without Want." The delegates were addressed by people in government, business, and labor. Some of the experts were Harlan Cleveland, Assistant Secretary of State, Calvin Kytle, director of public relations of the Nationwide Insurance Company, and Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers of America. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai E. Stevenson addressed the final luncheon of the Conference. from a budding two-year undergraduate program to a fast-blooming graduate program. The graduate center is the college's contribution to the community drive to attract new industry since Radio Corporation of America, a recent acquisition located here with the stipulation that such a center should be created. The value of this program has been proved by the fact that, since its inception last fall, it has attracted students from a variey of industries and institutions of higher learning including RCA, Mountaintop, TungSol, Hazleton, Silvania, Towanda, and Marywood College, Scranton. Although at present only two courses, an advanced chemistry and an advanced physics course are offered, additional courses will be offered in subsequent semesters. An evidence that this progress is being noted by outside sources is that Dr. David Lazarus, of the University of Illinois, who recently visited Wilkes as guest lecturer sponsored by the American Institute of Physics, praised Wilkes' progress as noteworthy and atypical of a small, community college. Patent leather in luscious candy colors, lime orange, toffy, and strawberry, has hit the scene for spring-see it in bags, shoes, belts and hats. Shoes in patent and other leathers are biggest news items when they have oval toes and lowered heels. The "spectator pump" is a classic, revamped this year into an azure fahion hit.-Wear it in patent for daytime, gilt snakeskin for evening. Bag s are worn over the shoulder, under the arm, or just about anywhere you want. Must they match the shoes ?-prefeably not, harmony in leather and color is better than a direct match. Petite berets and great straw rollers will be perched on the smartest heads this spring. Of course, for the romantics there are bows of all sizes. Be a little daring with your accessories this spring, try something new, if you do, you're sure to be the star of the Easter parade. Myriad of Activities On Psy-Soc Club Schedule Newly elected officers have planned an active schedule of public service and private enjoyment for the remaining months of the semester. Beginning this week several members of the club under the leadership of Dr. Robert Riley, chairman of the Psychology department, and Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the department of political science, will take part in a redevelopment survey for the WilkesBarre area. This survey will involve interviewing families who live in the area to be redevelo·ped and finding · their attitude toward the change. The trip to the Wilkes-Barre Veterans Hospital which had been planned for the immediate future has been cancelled but will probably take place after Easter. During the weekend of May 4 some Psych-Soc members will be in New York where they will visit New York and Cornell Univerities. They will also vis.it the brother of Mr. Joseph Kanner, the club's adviser, who is presently conducting Bob does not, however, have to wait for space travel for recognition, since he has gained campus distinction as director of the Collegians, as a Dean's List student, and a member of Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. Incidentally, the male chorus under Bob's direction was given the "best assembly" award last year. Bob is also a member of the chamber music and woodwind ensembles, the student MENC for music educators, and the oratory society. This student leader plays bassoon for the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic, for the Stegmaier Gold Medal Band, and for the Wilkes band. For three years he has performed in The Intercollegiate Band Festivals, and this year will appear in the Choral Festival. He plans to give his senior recital in the gymnasium in early i',fay. Bob, who is a former member of the madrigals and the mixed chorus, but he admits having been manager for his Coughlin High School basketball team. His versatiliy has secured for him two unusual parttime jobs. He worked in the College book store for two years, and he was a member of a summer dance band, "The Mello Tones," which entertained at various Pocono Mountain resorts. (As a member of this seven-man band Bob played saxophone - an instrument which he theretofore had never played.) Although Bob has enjoyed his yearg at Wilkes, he feels that the College is suffering from the lack of an adequate fine arts building. "We definitely need areas for concert presentations, and . practice rooms for music students." he said. "Despite this handicap of adequate space, however," he continued, "I have found that .om' campus music department is doing a superb job in preparing students for a career in music. "We have here excellent teachers and certainly a variety of courses both interesting and valuable." To prove that the music department's standards are high, Bob cited the instance of three Wilkes musicians having been selected to play first chair in last year's Intercollegiate Band Festival. He forsees, also, Saturday classes at the College, since many students now find their class schedule tightly packed. Saturday classes will, he feels, give music majors much needed time for extra practice. When this reporter asked him what he wanted most, Bob answered, "Time!" He explained that music majors must spend four or five hour in daily practice. The experience is invaluable to a prospective teacher. Bob added that teachers should begin to stress music theory in the junior high schools, instead of simply teaching pupils how to sing. To be adequately prepared to teach, he thinks it necessary for college graduates to work toward their master's degrees as soon after graduation as possible. experiments for the federal government. The new officers elected for the spring semester are Joseph Gelli, president; Thomas Ferris, vice president; Barbara Savitski, secretary; Mike Winslow, treasurer; Jeannettee Bucholtz, social chairman.

In the final league playoffs, the Heads and Shawneeites battle for top laurels in the American League while a four-team contingent seek top status in the National League. The Shawneeites, f eaturing the scoring antics of Matt Himlin and Stan Karmilovich, ran roughshod over the Playboys in two consecutive contests to capture a final berth. The Heads battled regular season champion Serutans in three contests and won the series, two games to one. In the rubber contest of the series, the action was fast and furious with the lead wandering back and forth between the two squads. The Heads held a 24-20 margin at halftime, but the high-scoring antics of the Serutans tied the contest, 49-49, at the end of the r egulation time. Both squads scored three points in the first overtime to send the contest into a second three-minute period. 1-M Softball Rosters Needed for Scheduling Of Two Leagues' Play John Reese, Director of Athletics, has asked that all softball players get started to form their rosters.

New Mentor, Courts Featured As Tennismen Ready for Season How would you forecast your next few years!' Today, the young man planning his life realizes as never before that in today's world his own future is tied inevitably to America's future. How can he serve both? Many college graduates, both men and women, are finding a rewarding answer on the Aerospace Team - as officers in the U.S. Air Force. Here is a career that is compelling in its challenge and opportunity. And it is a way of life that holds the unsurpassed satisfactions that come with service to country. As a college student, how can you become an Air Force Officer? If you have not completed Air Force ROTC, Officer Training School provides an opportunity to qualify for a variety of vitally needed jobs in the Aerospace Age. A graduate of this threemonth course earns a commission as a second lieutenant. Also open to college men is the Navigator Training program.

The Colonel tennis team is rapidly approaching what appears to be a highly successful season. This campaign will inaugurate the new courts which have been constructed at the College's newly-acquired land area adjacent to KJrby Park. The courts are directly across Northampton Street from the soccer and football fields which are in the former Artillery Park area. The squad boasts a new coach in Tom McFarland, who is regarded as one of the best local tennis players. From early indications he is doing a fine job with the squad and has set up a rigorous training schedule which includes calisthenics, running, and long periods of actual tennis drills and practice each day. Lettermen returning to this year's squad are Owen Francis, Buddy Menaker, Gary Einhorn, and Bill Kline. Menaker is the newly elected captain of the team. These lettermen will form the nucleus of the squad, while a good deal of support is expected from freshmen Bill Douglas and Gary Frank, who apparently will be delegated to varsity posts. With the talent displayed in early workouts, it appears that the team will improve on its dismal record of last season. From all indications, it is apparent that the tennismen have regained the form which they displayed at the end of last year's matches. The team's losses of personnel through graduation appear to have been remedied by the corps of skilled freshmen. Coach McFarland and Captain Bud Menaker have urged that anyone interested in playing tennis for the Colonels report to the Central YMCA any week-day. Practice is from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and will be held indoors until the weather permits moving to the outdoor courts. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + ❖ + SPECIAL TUX GROUP PRICES tor ,.

Those who wished to have the library hours extended signed a petition which was circulated during the meeting. It stated that the library should be open on Sunday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. for the convenience of dormitory students and weekdays till 10 p.m. for the convenience of students who attend night classes.

In view of the poor response of former years - 30 to 40 pints from a student body of over 1,000additional beds and personnel have been obtained to ease congestion, solicitors have been named to mobilize donors, and an appointment schedule has ,been instituted to economize minutes for the student. To reach the quota of 200 pints, each men's dormitory is being asked for 7, while the women's dorms are requested to donate 4 each. The remaining student body, it is hoped, will complete the total. Count will be taken for residents by the dormitory presidents; whereas commuting students will be solicited by their respective class presidents: Cathy DeAngelis, freshman class; Jim Jones, sophomore class; Brent O'Connell, junior class; and Joe Shambe, senior class. Pat Rossi of the Education Club, and Bill Carver of Circle K will also assist in registering donations. Any student in good health is qualified to give ,blood.

Guest conductor will be Mr. Leonard Falcone, director of bands at Michigan State University. The Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Band, 144 members strong, consists of outstanding music students from 35 colleges and universities throughout the state, and as such, may be considered as a sort of honor group. It is one of the oldest collegiate bands now in existence. Mr. Larry Weed, music faculty member and also member of the Pennsylvania Collegiate Band association, will accompany Wilkes students to the festival as chaperon.

President -Alumni Seminar Set For Tomorrow Evening in Commons Secondary Students Are Guests Of Education Club This Tuesday �wn.n:s 2 EDITORIALS-- Give A Minute - Save A Life The date of the semi-annual Wilkes College Blood Donor Day has been .set .for April 4. In the past, those wishing to contribute blood had to go to the Red Cross Blood Center to do so and were often faced with annoying delays. As a result of this, and no doubt as a result of other factors as well, blood contributions by Wilkes students in the past have amounted to about thirty or forty pints per campaign. This year; in an · effort to in c r e a s e the student contribution to this all important program, Blood Donor Day will be conducted is the gymnasium. Numerous doctors and nurses will be present to enable the student to make his contribution as quickly as possible. With this improvement in the blood donor program, no student who is eligible to give blood should fail to do so next Wednesday. A goal of 200 pints has been set for the student body which consists of about 1200 members. This means, that if only one-sixth of the total student body donates a pint of blood, the goal will be reached. It takes so little of one's time, and yet means so much. The goal of 200 pints is very small as compared with the tremendous potential available on our campus. We all realize that there are many who for various reasons : are unable to give blood, but these exceptions are few. Every healthy man or woman, however, can safely donate blood five .times a year. Blood Donor Day comes to campus just twice a year and the opportunity should be met by all who are able to contribute. Giving blood is safe and easy. Receiving blood means life to thousands each year. It is time that we as students assumed some of the responsibilities of adulthood. Take the time and make ·the effort on Wednesday to do your share for your fellow man. Give blood . . . and help save a life. It will cost you nothing cincl the reward is one whichcannot be measured by any human standard. Welcome Hampton ... . . This weekend marks the first phase of the annual Wilkes. Hampton exchange program. We of the Beacon would like to Jake. this opportunity to .welcome these students to our campus . and. to extend to them best wishes for an enjoyable weekend. •. Mtitji cc;m be gotten from this annual program. In addition to the entertainment factor involved, much can be learned by both •parties involved regarding life on another campus. The improvemertls in all phases of collegiate life made by both Wilkes and Hampton can be greatly beneficial. · Alumni Seminar Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Congratulations A s h l e y Hall! Once again you have proven your virility, perseverance, and maturity to the whole campus. Ashley Hall, which year after year allows us to share the knowledge of its Albert Einsteins, admire the agility of their Spartan athletes, and chuckle at the satire of their Swifts and Steeles, has done it again! By combining all of their talents, abilities, and the like, they played the role of Jason and daringly stole Butler Hall's golden fleece, a flag symbolizing years of unity, scholarship, and leadership. Only there were no minotaurs, Medeas, or Argoses to contend with when the "men" stole into Butler Hall's lounge at 3 :30 a.m. and sneaked off with the flag. Rather, Ashley Hall's representatives did what any common thief, or otherwise misguided individual could have done if he so wished. I iimagine that the realization that this flag is a symbol of what Ashley Hall has never been able to achieve probably spurred these idiotic Jasons into action. Regretfully, Michael Landesman, Butler Hall Debate Society Travels To New York City For C. W. Post Meet The Debate Society will attend a three-round debate tournament tomorrow at C. W. Post College on Long Island, New York. The debate question is "Resolved: That labor unions should be under the jurisdiction of anti-trust legislation." Debating the affirmative side of the question are Lynne Dente and John Campbell, and opposing the resolution are Jerome Krasa and John Pikulski. On the following Saturday, the group will travel to City College of New .York, uptown campus, for a tournament. There will be a change on the team. Andy Majikas . will replace Campbell on the affirmative team. The final debate will occur at Bucknell University. The Good Neighbor Tournament is an annual affair, and it will be held this year on April 14, 1962. At each of the tournaments, the top three teams will receive awards. Seminars have made frequent appearances in the news · lately and no doubt much profit has been gained from such gatherings. Tomorrow evening, a step forward in the area of alumni development will take place when the first President'sAlumni Seminar is conc;lucted. The planning of such a conference14i itself recognizes the need for the establishment of .a progr~ which will · bring the alumni into closer contact with the college. The seminar is a means which will aid greatly in shortening the gap which develops between the graduate and the college after the individual leaves the campus. ···· Several other purposes will be fulfilled by such a conference. In addition to bringing alumni from widely-scattered areas closer together and to the college, the session will also provide an opportunity for the free expression of opinions, many pf which may contribute greatly to the development of the college. Our alumni represent a wide variety of fields of endeavor Humor in Uniform and their professional opinion, accented by their personal ex- Reprint from The Reader's Digest perience with the college will prove invaluable.

STUDENT SKETCH Krasa Chooses Legal Profession/ Speaks of Debate Experience by Gloria Zaludek "Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking ... ', thus began this interview with a senior who is undoubtedly one of the best public speakers on campus - Jerome Krasa of Hanover Township. "Modest Jerry," as he is known to his friends, is a senior political science major who has had three years' experience with the Wilkes Debate Society and previous debate experience as a member of the Hanover Township High School debate team. Jerry has also coached a group of high school student debaters of Jewish Community Youth. Of his debating experience Jerry says, "Traveling and exchanging views with students on other campuses is both exciting and educational. I've enjoyed travelling with the debate team, and I believe this speaking experience will prepare me for my chosen profession." Jerry intends to study law, and has been accepted to Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville, Tennessee-how will he possibly lose a case with such a well-modulated, and expressive, voice? Active in other segments of campus life, Jerry was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. He is a Dean's List student, and a member of his class executive council, the Court of Appeals, the Beacon staff, and a former member of CCUN, the engineering club, and SAM. He was also chairman of "Students for Kennedy .and Johnson" on campus. Readers will remember his articles written for the Beacon last year in the Krasa-Robertson debate on the political campaign. An avid baseball fan, Jerry also enjoys reading "although I was once told that reading wasn't a hobby." He paused, then added, "I like to sing, but don't mention that since my voice sounds like a warped record." All right, Jerry, we won't mention it. Having changed his major from engineering to political science, he has had the opportunity to take a variety of courses on campus. "I Jerome Krasa - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < ' > have learned ,much from my courses, primarily because the proSpanish Club Offers Film; fessors in their respective fields are not only well-versed, but also Hemingway Is Narrator interested in their subjects. "They have a keen interest in The Spanish Club in cooperation with the Student Government and their students. For these reasons I the School Spirit Committee will chose a small college instead of a present a film entitled The Spanish large one." Jerry, the son of Mrs. Earth tonight at 7:15 in Stark 116.

Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor, psychology dept. Yes, I would build a shelter! To prepare for the worst while I work for the best, whatever the best or worst might be. And what if the worst becomes a nuclear holocaust, a nightmare of destruction, would I want to survive in such a world? Yes, I would want to survive in such a world! To rebuild. To recreate. To reach once again for the moon, the stars, the universe. To ask once again the same questions and hope for better answers. Why? If you must ask, you wouldn't understand. No answer would satisfy you. Barbara Lore, sophomore, English major I believe that building a fallout shelter at the present time would be a waste of time, energy, and money. Not only has modern technology dimaned the prospect of a nuclear war but also the "package deal" fallout shelter kits on the market are inadequate for the prolonged protection which would be necessary after a nuclear attack. Unfortunately that fallout shelter idea has ,been misused by unscrupulous people seeking a "quick buck." George Gavales, senior, political science major I wouldn't build or live in a fallout shelter any more than I would live in a cave or a tree house. People who build fallout shelters forget one important fact: the next war can only be won if never fought. Burrowing in holes, surrounding ourselves with concrete walls, and storing canned water sold at exhorbitant prices does nothing to prevent the next war. Such action simply adds a touch of grim humor to a situation that is deadly serious. Dr. Frederic E. Bellas, Associate Professor of Physics Your q u e s t i o n might be reworded as "Would you want to survive a nuclear war and be part of a post nuclear war society?" My survival instinct wants to answer "Yes," but my spirit wants to answer "No." I should not, therefore, build a shelter. �Friday, March 30, 1962 Wil.KFS COLLEGE BEACON Shawneeiles Win American Crown Circle-K Will Operate 1-M Softball Leagues; As Nalional Playoffs Continue Last Call for Rosters In a modem marathon of speed and endurance the Shawneeites ended the long American Intramural Basketball League trials with one last scoring surge to capture their league laurels. The long awaited clash with their National League counterparts was further delayed by a maze-like" playoff series to determine the leading team. At last count four teams were battling for play-off berths in the junior circuit. Taking the lead with a beginning tally of ~our co~secutive goals, the Shawnee1tes gamed a lea<_! ov~r the He:1ds that they never rel~ng~nshed. Quick goal~ b~ Matt H1mlm _and Stan Karm1loVIch gave the highflying Indians their opening scores before "Head" Wruble put the Pi_ttston~en on the score-board with a Jump-shot. .. The Plymouthmen ut1hzed a fastbreak to take a commanding lead at the half as the Heads were on Fair Weather Or Foul the short end of a 39-22 score. In the third period the Heads put a full-court press into operation. With Bond and Carver scoring and Len Yankosky sweeping the backboards clean the Heads cut the Shawneeite ~argin to a scant three points. With two minutes left in the period, the five ironmen of Plymouth rallied to up their lead to nine points 49-40 at the threequarter ma;k. ' Final period action found the Shawneeites opening an explosive attack which sent thirty-two points onto their score while the Heads could only tally twelve markers. The Heads lost their star rebounder, Len Yankosky, in the final minutes and could not recover to catch the rampaging Indian tribe. Final score was 81-52. All five Shawneeite performers tallied in double figures with George Tensa netting 20, Matt Himlin and Stan Karmilovich 16, Bob "Snuffy" Smith 17, and John Tensa 12. "Head" Wruble led their opponents with 14 counters as Bond added 12 and Carver lO to the losing cause. Ron Musselman and Larry Gubanich handled the officiating chores. CL' CO. INC. IN2 This year the intramural softball league will operate under the auspices of the newly-formed Circle K Club. Club officers ask that rosters be turned in as early as possible in order that games may be scheduled. Rosters will be assigned by Mr. Reese or Mr. Dydo, or may ,b e deposited in the Circle K mailbox at the Bookstore. As in the past, games will be played on Mondays and Thursdays, beginning in the near future. The teams will again be divided into two leagues. Taking over the league this season, the Circle K Club plans to innplement some changes in hopes of improving the league. Today, sheets on which students may place suggestions for improving the league will be distributed in the cafeteria and Parrish Hall. These will be collected by the Club, and any useful suggestions will be put into effect. Posters will be placed at both ends of campus. On these, information pertinent to the league ( cancelled games, makeup games, etc.) will be placed before a specified ttme. This will circumvent great inconvenience on the part of commuting students. Another possible innovation will be an all-star game to be staged at the end of the season. This game would take place after the threegame championship series between the leaders in each lague. It has b e e n proposed that individual trophies be given to members of the championship team.

Last season the Dydomen blasted the Mules 11-4, as they connected for fifteen singles behind the steady nine-hit hurling of Mike Schwefel. The forces from uhlenberg on their home field will be seeking to reverse this humiliation. Coach Dydo has been drilling the squad for the past few weeks and will be going into the opening engagement with a team composed essentially of underclassmen.

Reif, chairman of the biology department, will conduct the third seminar discussion sponsored by the Associated Women's Students Sunday at 8 p.m. on the second floor of the Commons. Dr. Reif's topic wil be "Overpopulation", a controversial subject of universal concern. Overpopulation has become a major crisis in an age when the infant mortality rate has been lowered and the life expectancy has increased. Experts estimate that ultimately at the present rate of reproduction there will be only one square mile of living area per person. The controversy centers around the means to r~duce the ever-increasing poulation explosion and its resulting effects. Last Thursday, Mr. Joseph Kanner, instructor in the psychology department, led the seminar group in a discussion on "Censorship and Individual Responsibility." Mr. Kanner introduced his remarks by briefly discussing the cause of delinquency, one of which is, supposedly, obscene material. The controversy arises, he said, when a society tries to determine what will be censored and who will ,b e censored and who will do the censoring. In certain cases, legislation against obscene literature would not ,b e effective because parents often do not know, or cannot control, what their children read. Then too, surrendering individual responsibility in one area leads to surrendering responsibility in other areas, thus reducing all freedom. At the conclusion of the discussion, the group hadn't found a workable definition of who should censor what material. The A WS seminar discussions are open to all students interested in thought-provoking conversation. ForPi~n Movie Based On French Novel To Be Presented The Red and the Black, a movie based on the novel by Stendahl, has received international acclaimation. In 1 9 6 4, it was awarded the Grand Prix of the Academie du Cinema. Students will have the opportunity to see this classic on Monday and Tuesday in Stark 116. Stendahl based his novel on an , opportunist's career in the ninej teenth century French society. It I was one of the first psychological novels. The sensitiveness of the novel can be found in the title. The main character, Julien Sorel, was born too late to ,b e a member of Napoleon's arnny, accounting for the red in the title. For this reason, it necessitated Sorel to direct himself toward the priesthood. As the story progresses, the character struggles to surmount the obstacles placed by class society. · The Language Department will' Seek and Ye Shall Find The well-dressed student can show the film at three different, claim the following of his belong- times.

Defendant's Rights: The ac- ernment. Sludenls Given Opporlunily To Name New Alhlelic Field Group Attends Sessions At United Nations Following Building Tour �2 WII.ns COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS-- Important Decision Important changes in the student body constitution have been proposed by Student Government for serious consideration by all. One of the most striking changes in the set of rules is that dealing with jurisdiction. The new amendment states, "To the Judicial Committee of the whole Student Government has been delegated jurisdiction over all cases where undergraduates have violated college rules anywhere on or off campus." This additional power granted to the campus ruling body would place that group in a very strong but responsible position. If the measure passes, the delegation of such powers to the Student Government will be a tribute to the abilities of that body. The question, however, which should be pondered by all mempers of the student body is essentially this - Do the members of the Student Government have the knowledge and experience needed to successfully perform the task of judging their fellow students? We belive that a competent, capable group of students could conceivably perform the tasks required of them in this amendment, but, we must be very particular in our selection of student representatives. They must be people who can be objective and fair. They must not allow any personal feelings to enter into the judgment of cases, and they must also keep all matters related to cases in the strictest confidence. Only when our representatives realize these responsibilities and can accept them will these policies be feasible and effective.

"Asphalt Jungle," a theme the Duke wrote for a television program made the audien ~e wish that the show could have held its sponsor. A slow piece from the "Paris Blues" score was followed by a brazen "Stoonpin' At The Savoy" which featured the saxophone mastery of Harry Carney, an Ellington charter member. Jimmy Hamilton's willowy clarinet work on "Tenderly" led into a selection from "A Drum Is A Woman", a composition by Duke and Billy Strayhorn. Solos by drummer Sam Woodyard and bassist Aaron Bell accounted for the rhythm section in a weaving pattern of brass and percussion with primitive native passion. The announcement made by Dr. Farley last Saturday night regarding the pledge to the college of $500,000 by anonymous friends of the college has brought an even greater light to the college's hopes for expansion. The announcement of this gift has brought closer the construction of the long awaited fine arts building as well as numerous other improvements here at Wilkes. It is significant here that these friends have desired to remain anonyomus, thus silently adding their names to the long list of others who have for many years sacrificed to contribute to the growth of the college. At Saturday's meeting, Dr. Farley also emphasized the tremendous strides made by the college since its founding. The improvements proposed as a result of this latest grant represent another in the series of steps forward taken by the college. Cat Anderson emerged with his We of the student body owe a vote of thanks to these un- always-screaming t r u m p et in known people who have once again provided for the further "Summertime", and he proved that he hasn't lost much roar or purr advancement of the college. Enter - the Twist The current dance rage which has been "sweeping the country" and has thoroughly invaded the college campus has taken a prominent place at the Wilkes Friday night dances. Organizations sponsoring weekend affairs boast the offering of twist bands, dances, contests, and anything that gyrates, vibrates, or bounces in order to spur the attendance at their particular event. No doubt exists that there are many who enjoy an evening of "twisting" to the music of their favorite Peppermint Lounge refugees, but there are still many in the crowd who long for the strains of a good old fashioned waltz at least once in a while. This is something for the dance-planners to consider when arranging future dances at Wilkes. The twist has its place and no doubt it is here to stay (for a while at least), but there is still a place at Wilkes affairs for emphasis on other types of music as well. Any Ideas? An opportunity for students of Wilkes to display their intellectual skill avails itself with the publication of this issue and the announcement of the athletic field name contest. The college board of trustees at a recent meeting requested that the student body of Wilkes submit their ideas for a name for the new athletic field located in Kingston. Several names were suggested by the board, including Pennsfield, Sullivan Field, and Dadurka Field, but other suggestions which students wish to make will be carefully considered. The reward'---the student whose appelation is chosen will have the distinction of having given a name to the college's growing athletic plant which will live for some time to come.

Mechanical Dept.: Schmidt's Printery, rear 59 North Main Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Friday, April 6, 1962 during the decades with the Duke. For Ellington afficianados, the satin sax solos of Johnny Hodq;-es cried "I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good" and ended the first part of the concert with "All · of Me". A trumpet player named Bill Bailey, who should have gone home, opened the second half with a disappointing and mediocre version of "Lullaby of Birdland". Fortunately, conditions improved quickly as the · brilliant tenor sax of Paul Gonzalves 'dominated the "Diminuendo and · Crescendo" from Ellington's 1958 Newport score. The remaining portion consisted of the Ellington standards in a medley. "Satin Doll" and "Solitude", two of: the most beautiful Ellington melodies done with deft polish. Carney, Hamilton, and Brown played "Mood Indigo" with sweet sadness, and the former proved over again that the Lady is ever as much sophisticated as she ever was. The ever-Nomadic "Caravan" blended the entire unit together in a tightness that was flawless. Toward the very end of the program, a new singer appeared who had been heralded as another Joe Williams. Unfortunately, at best, though, he sounded more like Billy Eckstine with laryngitis. "Don't Get Around Much Any More" with "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" as a counter-melody ended the program. As if we don't get enough Chubby Checker, an encore cleverly titled "One More Twist" was tastelessly done. Duke Ellington is a legend in his own lifetime. He has earned his internationally famous reputation because of his good taste and impeccable compositions. With only a few exceptions, the concert was thoroughly enjoyable, fresh, and done in good taste. It is unfortunate, though, that more people didn't attend, for provincialism offers few opportunities. Duke Ellington has s u r v i v e d through the years, through swing, the bop, and certainly through the potpourri of trash that prevails today. It is disappointing to see even one vacant seat along with an air of apathy when tribute is due an artist like Ellington. He paid the price of provincialism. "As important, certainly, as my campus work is the experience I have received working on a research project at the Wilkes-Barre Veterans Hospital."

Linda Ewing, left, and Marsha Hochberg Allens en France avec Mademoiselle Marsha Hochberg and Linda Ewing. These two girls have the opportunity to spend their junior year at the University of Aix-Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, France. Commenting about the opportunity, Marsha stated, "It is something I had always thought about and hoped to do." Leaving at the end of August, Linda and Marsha hope to travel by ship to Marseille, France, from where they will go to Aix-en-Provence to register on September 12, 1962 at the University. They both will reside with French families while they attend the University of Aix-Marseille. The University was established in 1409, and is presently the second largest university in France. It is a participant in the program of the Institute for American Universities. The program is specifically designed for those colleges who do not have overseas facilities for their students. In connection, with this program, Linda remarked that she would like to see Wilkes adopt a program for students to study abroad. Included in the plan is an academic program similar to that of Wilkes. Starting classes on September 17, the girls will have two French courses per semester, and they will attend lectures, which will be given in French. In addition to the French courses, Marsha, who is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in French intends to take an additional French course plus a history and a fine arts course. Linda, however, who is majoring in sociology, will take a philosophy, a studio art, and a history course. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities are available to the students of the University. Marsha mentioned a few of these activities such as French and Provencal cooking, ballet, drama, and boules, which is an ancient form of outdoor bowling. There are also chances for camping along the Riviera and among the Alps. The itinerary for the girls' Christmas and Easter vacations is already planned. During the Christmas holidays, both will travel to Paris to visit relatives, and then, Linda will proceed to Essen, Germany to see other relations. A Mediterranean cruise will dominate the itinerary during Easter vacation. They will have stopovers at Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Israel. When asked about the processes which they went through to be accepted at the Universitv, Linda and Marsha proceeded to tell what was required. Involved in the process is the requirement of good academic standing. In addition, a recommendation from the chairman of one's major department, the dean of the college and another faculty m em b er is necessary. Farley Announces $500,000 Gift At Alumni-Presidential Seminar by Cynthia Hagley A gift of $500,000 to the college for the construction of a Fine Arts Building was revealed to some 185 alumni attending the dinner-seminar last Saturday night in the Commons. How this donation will alter the original plans to build a $550,000 Fine Arts center is not yet known. The original plan included a matching federal grant and loan. This planping was based on the proposed Federal Aid to Education Program now facing Congressional action.

Perhaps the most important of these purposes was that of providing the students with specific information in the various areas of study available on the college level. This was done through the use of seminars presided over by Wilkes students who have done, or presently are doing, their student teaching. Elias pointed out that another ·p urpose was to help initiate Future Teachers of America Clubs in high schools that presently don't have such clubs. Further, these prospective teachers were introduced to the facilities of Wilkes. Finally, the event took on some aspects of a social gathering as refreshments were served and entertainment was provided by the W omen's Chorus under the direction of Nancy Thomas.

In his address to the alumni, Dr. Farley said, "Only an intelligent and informed people can combat the extremes of communism and fascism. Thanks to a dedicatei faculty and a dedicated board of trustees, Wilkes College is nurturing and developing such intelligence in the minds of her students." He revealed that during the last ten years, the College trustees had contributed $2 million and that "today, we can look forward to advancements we dared not envision a few years ago." A chronology of progress was presented to the alumni as a reference material during the seminar. It stated in part, "In the years that have ·p assed, the college has joined with others to create a new economy and a new community. With these changes, a new and stronger college has grown." Enrollment in the college for both day and evening students has grown from 193 in 1933 to 1,608 at the present time. Selectivity has increased with this growth. For example, only 38 per cent of the applicants were a d m i t t e d in September, 1961. The president emphasized that this is a comparatively good percentage, but that it could be better. All applicants should come from the top one-half of a high school senior class, and only 35 to 40 per cent of these should be admitted. Dr. Farley also explained that the ,b oard of trustees is in favor of ·keeping the enrollment at its present level. "Yet," he continued, "it is highly probable that we shall be forced to raise our college population to 1,600 to 1,700 students by the year 1970." Spirit Committee Plans Spring Carnival, Outing by Frances Corace At its meeting Monday, the School Spirit Committee discussed plans for the forthcoming Spring Carnival and outing. The Carnival will be held on Saturday, May 12 at the Parrish Hall parking lot. Booths will be set up offering various amusements. Dancing and other entertainment are planned for the evening. Applications for the booths may be picked up next week and submitted to James Jones at Warner Hall. A $1 registration fee will be charged which will be used to pay for the Sunday outing expenses. On Sunday, May 13, the School Spirit Committee with the cooperation of the Economics Club will sponsor an outing at Rocky Glen Amusement Park. There will be no charge for the grove's facilities. Intramural sports and evening dancing are two highlights of the activities planned. Mr. Kent Kirby, instructor of Art at Wilkes College, has announced that the paintings of two art students at Wilkes have had their work accepted at the Regional Art Show in Hazleton. This show is sponsored by the Hazleton Art League, 225 East Broad Street in Hazleton.

(continued on page 5) �wn.n:s Friday, April 6, 1962 EDITORIAL-- Why Athletics Athletics play too important a role in our life today. This statement has been debated for years as people question the position of athletics in our educational system, and too often the question is left unanswered. Last year's infamous basketball scandals brought the question out of the limelight where it had faltered and placed it in the scrutinous public spotlight. The altercation continues today as both the pro and con endeavor to inundate the opposing apprehension. With a propensity to promote a better understanding of why athletics are such an important phase of · today's educational program, we present our philosophical answers to five basic questions regarding scho_ol athletics. Question One - What benefit will a player derive from participation in athletics? Remember one principle: athletics are education; they are, in fact, one of the most important parts of our educational system. There is no other course in our schools today which can offer to a boy all the following benefits. COMPETITION - Our entire way of life is based on competition. Every person in industry, business, or a profession is competing to improve or maintain his economic standing. What · better way is there to teach this important principle than through athletics where a person faces a struggle, not only against opposing teams, but also against his own teammates for a ,p osition on the squad. PHYSICAL WELL-BEING - Our nation, as a whole, is becoming more conscious of the inadequacy of our youth in physical fitness, as is evidenced by President Kennedy's establishment of a Physical Fitness Program. It is stated that "A strong ,body is the hand made to a strong mind", and where can this strong body ·be formed better than it is in athletics? A foundation is built through athletics that can be a model for developing a program to correct our "national physical inadequacy". Never minimize the advantages of a strong healthy body the students receive from a sound program. THE RELEASE OF PHYSICAL BEING -Someway, somehow, students will find a way to release the physical energy which their bodies hold. Athletics offer a means of releasing this energy, and it's a much better means than joining a gang of destructive hoodlums or becoming a "regular" at an alcoholic abode. RECOGNITION - Through guidance, players can learn to accept recognition in a proper manner. They learn that the praises they receive are not due to their effort alone, but to the effort of the team. They learn pride in themselves and their individual efforts, but only in terms of teamwork. UNDERSTANDING - Athletes work together for a common cause and learn to take victory or defeat in an acceptable manner. Team members learn how to understand each othe.r and to make compensations for the team. How can this help but be beneficial in later years when an athlete enters the business or professional world, where it has been proven that eighty per cent of the people who lose their jobs do so because of their failure to understand and get along with their coworkers. EMOTIONAL CONTROL - "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"-a well-used phrase in athletics which can be diagnosed as meaning the successful athlete learns to get going by tackling the task at hand. The most important element in the athletic structure is the ability to "stay loose". So it goes in future life; he who learns not to have emotional blow-ups and remains ca1m whatever the situation is he who will be successful. DISCIPLINE - The main cry about our young people today is that they don't know how to discipline themselves or how to accept discipline imposed on them. However, athletics force a player to discipline both his mind and body and also accept commands given by those placed over him. PERSEVERANCE - How many times do adults miss the goals they are seeking because they quit trying too soon? Any person who has participated in athletics will probably never fall into this situation since through his participation he has learned to stay with the job and not give up until the contest is over. Even the lowest sub on a sixtyman football team never stops trying since he has the desire to someday make the first string. : THINKING UNDER PRESSURE - Any accomplished businessman can contribute much of his success to this factor. The athlete learns to think under pressure early in his areer and uses this ability every ti,me he engages in a contest. In order to win he must think, quickly and accurately, under ~uch pressure. It is impossible to cover or describe adequately all the benefits a student derives from athletics but some of the more outstanding ones were covered. Each individual receives these benefits in different degrees, depending upon his psychological makeup, but the factors mentioned help develop a well-rounded citizen. Question Two - Is it more important for a boy to earn money than to participate in athletics? Ask yourself this question, can a car or spending money offer the educational benefits that are found in athletic competition? Upon close analysis we find that most of the money earned by students after sc~ool is not spent wisely. True, many campus athletes must work to contmue their education, but jobs on the immediate campus are usually open for the sport participant. Scholarships are also usually available, but that brings up another controversy. Too often the money earned by the student is "pocket money". Too early in life he finds he has large sums of money and in rnost cases has not been taught how to use it wisely. This can create an unwholesome situation which carries over into adult life. Think of the number of students who get a job to get a car, and then work every available minute to support the car. The many recent surveys illustrate all too clearly the effect a car has on students' grades. Students anxious to work can usually find enough summer employment to afford the adequate spending money. A picture is worth a thousand words, so it is easier to utilize Don Eller as the typical married athlete - active in sports, campus activity, and family life while working - than to write a lengthy explanation. The best answer to this question is to compare the educational advantages of athletics and money. Question Three -What happens to a player's grades during the sport season? · . , . Studies show that in general student s grades go up durmg the sports season. To understand this, let us first analyze whY: a man receives poor grades in school. First: there may be a lack of mterest; second: a lack of ability; and third: lack of or improper use of study time. . . When a player is participating in a sport, he has a great mterest m school in ge11eral. At this time his life is centered on the sc~ool. and sport in which he is engaged. Also, he knows he must mamtam a 5 COLLEGE BEACON Golfers Open Season Thursday At Scranton; Bellas Leads Duffers Captain Rich Bellas and the Colonel golf sextet open the golf season at Fox Hill against University of Scranton on Thursday. Returning lettermen Bellas, John Adams, and Jim Ward provide the experience that the untried Blue and Gold golfers will have to contest the Royals. Filling the remaining three positions poses a major problem at least until a starting aggregation can be tied together. Senior Frank Lepore, junior Bob Smulowitz, and freshmen Chet Kolley and John Occhiato appear the best among a dozen as·p irants for the remaining positions. Lepore and Kolley look impressive in early practice rounds. Scranton has, in the opinion of Coach Peter C a r 1 e s i m o, the strongest squad in its history. Cocaptains Ralph Chase and Jim Barrett are old tormentors of Colonel golf teams. Chase was the only Scranton golfer to win against Wilkes in last season's meets while Barrett whipped Pete McLaughlin soundly in 1961. Both are scratch handicap golfers at Scranton Country Club. Sophomore J. B. O'Donnell from Elmhurst is also a recognized regional golfer. This meet involving two strong match-play teams should give an early line on the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships to be held at Fox Hill on May 14. BILL CARTER (continued from page 4) When probed about these magical feats, this calm, dignified, little man who takes all things in his stride says only, "It's a challenge to keep things running smoothly down at the gym and I guess that's why I enjoy · my job so much. There's never a dull ·m oment" quite an understatement! Who is this man whose domain is the gym - who not only understands the care and attention necessary to keep his "ward" iil top Kruczek Turns In 4-Hit Effort As Dydomen Open With Victory "Play ball!", the long-awaited cry, will ring out over the collegiate diamond tomorrow as the Colonels open their home baseball campaign with the Upsala College nine. Last season the Wilkesmen scored a surprise upset over the East Orange diamondmen, 1-0, behind the three-hit pitching of Bob Fleming. The MAC contest is scheduled to get under way at 2 p.m. at the Wilkes Athletic Field. In their season opener at Bethlehem on Tuesday the Colonel nine sent a strong Muhlenberg squad down to defeat at the hands of veteran hurler Joe Kruczek. The tall righthander tossed a neat fourhitter at the Mules and only a twoout single by Tom Rothrock in the sixth inning wrecked his bid for a shutout. The Colonels broke into the scoring column in the third inning when Kruczek opened with a single and Matt Himlin sent him to third with another one-base -blow. A sacrifice fly by 'Doc' Vosheski sent one run home and advanced Himlin to second and a single by Ron Grohowski plated him. In the ninth inning the charges of Coach Mike Dydo sent three more tallies across the plate as singles by Himlin, Vosheski, and Grohowski loaded the sacks and a base-clearing triple by Lou Zampetti sent them all home. The fielding of the Wilkesmen was great in the opening contest with the infield turning in two snappy double-plays. physical condition but watches over it with fierce pride and interest? Born in Virginia, Bill lived there until the age of nine when his family moved to Harrisburg, where he spent the remainder of his youth. Again his family moved and this time their path led them to the Wilkes-Barre - Scranton area - Bill's home for the past 35 years. This recent grandfather lives with his wife, Hazel, and sixteen-year-old son, Dan, on Wright St., in close proximity to the gym. His past experiences read like the pages of a novel since during his lifetime he has been a bus boy, chef, mechanic, proprietor of a garage, anthracite miner, and custodian. The tales of his many adventures and the people he has encountered furnish material for many an exuberant story-telling session between Bill and "his boys" down at the gym. One of his favorite tales is that of Mr. Jones, a steady customer at the Man h at tan Restaurant in Harrisburg, where Bill, as chef, was in charge of the kitchen. An avid coffee fan, Mr. Jones continually complained that his coffee was never hot enough. Rather than becoming irritated at this constant complaint, Bill and his crew took positive action. Upon Mr. Jones' arrival in the restaurant the message would be relayed. "He's here!" At this signal, Bill would pop a cup in the oven so that it would -b e steaming hot when Mr. Jones ordered. This curtalied all future complaints. As Bill says, "Perhaps he was too busy manipulating that steaming cup and soothing his burnt fingers." This consideration for his fellow man is a part of his ,b asic philosophy of life - attempting to treat his fellow man as he would have him treat him. This philosophy, which is such an integral part of his life, probably stems from his deep religious convictions. As Deacon of the Mount Zion Baptist Church, a post which Bill describes as proxy minister, he often brings the church to people confined to their homes. In addition to his lectures in the church, Bill visits the homes of sick members of his congregation weekly, furnishing them with comfort and sympathy. Religion plays an important part in the 'life of both Bill and his wife, who is aiso an active . member of the Mount Zion congregation. In religion as well as ail other phases of their life, Bill and Haz·el work together causing Bill to describe their life as a "joint effort". Hazel and Bill are also active in community affairs - Hazel as President of the Negro . Community League and Bill as a member of the local Masonic Order. In reflecting back on his tenyear association with Wilkea, Bill finds that his relationships with the athletes composing his crew have made the most outstanding impression on him. Many outstanding Wilkes athletes such as Eddie Davis, John Bresnahan, and Frank Fenis have worked under Bill and shared in his tall tales of adventure. As a tribute to them and the other students who have composed his crew Bill claims that he would prefer having students work for hill). rather than adults - a true indication of the communion between Bill and "his boys". satisfactory scholastic average to remain a member of the team. If a · student lacks ability in a subject, he will strive to master it to stay on the team. His efforts during the season will exceed those he puts forth after the season is over. Seldom do students study after school, even if they are not in athletics. Those who would, soon learn to budget their time to cover both athletics and scholastic work. Parents are ,b ecoming increasingly aware of the importance of academic achievement. An over-emphasis of school work is not physically or emotionally desirable. It has not been proven that a strict diet of studies is the answer to good grades. Question Four - What of the injury problem in athletics? Space limits the number of statistics that can be presented in this article. Briefly here are a few from the many studies that have been conducted. These figures cover students in the time from August through December. There are 240 motor vehicle deaths for each football death, 17 to 1 with firearms, 26 to 1 from drowning, and 6 to 1 from ,burns. It is also reported that there are 3 deaths for every football fatality of all ages involving roller skates. The fatalities involving bicycles are about 9 to 1. Thus, it seems reasonably safe for a boy to participate in football, a sport where body contact seemingly invites injuries or death, rather than to spend his time in the roller rink or peddling a bicycle. Other arguments disregard the fatality rates and stand strictly on injuries. Consider here that a boy not playing football is probably engaging in one of the above-mentioned activities. Few statistics are available to show how many injuries result from cars, etc., for each death. One quota has approximately 20 injuries in auto accidents for each death. This should startle quite a few people. One school is known to have recorded 34 injuries in sandlot football among their students in one fall. This was in excess of their own organized program. Most physical education classes have more injuries in one year than do the football teams. Rule changes, better coaching techniques, and improved equipment are the main essentials behind the lowering of the accident rate among athletes. Also considering the delinquency problem and its relationship to unsupervised activity, one should remember "that a broken bone will mend, but a twisted character will hardly ever straighten out." Question Five - Why the emphasis on winning? This boils down to the simple ideal that if we don't teach winning, we teach losing. There is no middle-of-the-road in sports. This is not unwholesome as some people think, but rather normal and desirable. Winning is the American way of life, both in the business world and on the athletic field. The overemphasis on winning usually comes from outside the school and does not come from the coaches themselves. Winning is the reward. If it is not taught, then mediocrity is taught, and there is no place for that if the businessman as well as student is to succeed in life. In answering the five questions asked coaches and players, we have not proposed these as absolute answers, but as sound retorts to show the advantages circumventing the athlete. The advantages which help turn the boy of today into the well-rounded, well-developed citizen of tomorrow. • PENN BARBER SHOP • Next Door to Y.M.C.A. 3 Barbera at Your Serrice Jame■ J. Baiera. Prop.

This arises because few students are aware of the duties of the Recorder and, in some cases, are unaware that one even exists. Unaware, that is, until the student has occasion to use the Recorder's office for himself. Then, he expects every effort to be made in handling his particular problem in the fastest possible manner, regardless of whatever else may be on the schedule. Overall, a Recorder is responsible for all grades handed in by the professors, be they mid-term or final grades. The responsibility for this job at Wilkes is held by Miss Ruth Bishop, a charming individual with a .pleasing personality, which proves to be a great aid in performing her job. Miss Bishop, who came here in March, 1953, from the Pittsburgh area, handles the records of all day students. She must record their grades on both the master and permanent transcripts, in addition to sending grade reports home. The latter include the infamous "pink and yellow" mid-term deficiency slips. Elementary education m a j or s will have the opportunity to take twelve more hours in academic departments as a result of certain changes that have been made in the curricula in education. Beginning next year the elementary education "block" will become a onesemester program consisting of seventeen credits, offered each term as "the professional semester." The el e m en tar y education "block" for "the professional semester" will include teaching of reading, arithmetic, social studies, and science, elementary school curriculum, visual education, and student teaching. The remaining semester will include principles of elementary education plus sufficient or required elective courses to bring the student's total to 127 credits, the graduation requirement for this curriculum.

All five musicians placed with high honors, three taldng first chairs (for the second year in a row), and the other two took first chair seconds. Edward Yadzinski, Donald Jones, and Ray Nutatis, all seniors, took first chairs on the clarinet, oboe, and tuba, respectively. Student Body Praised Fer Their Cooperation During Recent Drive At a recent meeting of the Economics Club, Jerry Moffatt, president, praised the entire student body for the enthusiasm and cooperation displayed during the recent eyeglass campaign. Bill McIntyre, general chairman of the drive, announced that this year's drive was one of the most successful since its origin. Over three thousand glasses were collected this semester, and of this number approximately 1440 pairs have already been packed and shipped to New Eyes for the Needy Incorporated of New Jersey. Among the upcoming social activities of the club is the All College Outing which will be held on Sunday, May 13, as part of the Spring Weekend. Richard Hohn, ticket committee chairman, stated that the affair will be held at Rocky Glen Park and tickets will soon be available. Assisting him will be Tom Tomalis, activities chairman, and Jerry Shilanski, transportation chairman. Ron Sebolka reported that mem;b ers of his stock committee are in their final phase of making their decision for a future investment. The club at present owns eleven shares in General Motors stock. The club will also assist the Lettermen, TDR, and the Circle K in painting the fence around the athletic field some time in the spring. In addition, members have been actively recruiting donors for the College Blood Donor Day in order to aid in reaching the quota. First chair seconds were taken by Robert Eike, senior, on the ba,soon, and Donivee Miller, sophomore, on the horn. Guest director Leonard Falcone of Michigan State University said that of the 30 colleges participating, Wilkes was "by far the best group there, not only in musicianship, but also in attitude." This was the first year that the Festival employed the audition system for choosing its best musicians. It was done in this way so that smaller schools would have an opportunity on a par with the larger colleges. Competition was keen, exemplified ,b y the fact that Yadzinski competed with 12 other clarinetists to win first chair. T.D.R. NOTICE TDR will sponsor a bake sale in the cafeteria on April 12 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. All girls may bring their baked goods to the cafeteria at any time that morning. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Look Your Best •.• Be Well Groomed!

Approximately eighty high school seniors will take part in a "typical cam.pus weekend" to become acquainted with the college, its dormitory life, and its academic and social functions. As guests of the college the prospective freshmen will room with dormitory students and talk with members of the administration and department chairmen. They will also be the guests of the Accounting Club at the Friday night dance. The Lettermen request that no men wear tuxedos and that no women wear corsages.

Circle K Receives Charter The college chapter of Circle K Club received its charter from the International Circle K group recently. At this time, the local Kiwanis presented the club with a gavel, gong, banner, and a set of flags in addition to its charter. Membership pins and sweatshirts were presented to the club's 33 members. The administration has provided a filing cabinet for the club's materials and has also given it a regular meeting room, Conyngham 109, in which the club will meet on Tuesday.

What is to be hated now are the blistering forces that sear and destroy life, that collect individual human lives into ranks of enemies. "It then becomes difficult to detail and outline the entire story of Hiroshima, Mon Amour. It is not simply a love story, it is not a document, or a plea for peace. It is a creative work, lovingly, poetically written by the French novelist Marguerite Duras, conceived cinematically ·b y Alain Resnais, acted with purity by a French actress and a Japanese actor. It is, of eourse, a work of enormous dignity, a landmark in motion pictures." �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITOIUALS- A New Record The Red Cross has announced that a total of 118 pints were collected at the recent campus Blood Donor Day. Although the amount was slightly more than half of the goal of 200 pints, this figure looms much larger when compared with the results of past drives. The total collection of 118 pints represents the highest amount collected since Blood Donor Days were originated on campus in 1950 and far surpasses the previous high of 63 pints set in Ma;y, 1960. An additional item should be mentioned in connection with the drive. Although the total amount collected was only 118 pints, some additional 40 students were turned away from the gymnasium because of a lack of parental consent which is needed by all students under the age of 21 who desire to donate blood. The results of the drive are a good indication of what can be accomplished with a little effort. It is hoped that these results will spur members of the student body on to an even greater response next semester when perhaps the goal of 200 pints may .be realized. Wilkes -Hampton Tiie second phase of the Wilkes-Hampton exchange program will take place shortly after Easter when twelve Wilkes students will journey to Hampton Roads, Virginia to spend several days on the campus of Hampton Institute. This visit, part of the program which brought Hampton students to Wilkes two weeks ago is one designed to promote not only an understanding of life on other campuses, but an even deeper understanding of the problems faced by other groups. The Hampton exchange program stands as a symbol of brotherhood and of the relations which bind man to man. Holiday Ahead We have been informed via the college calendar that Easter vacation will begin next Wednesday. We of the Beacon staff would like to take this opportunity to extend best wishes to everyone for a happy holiday. Along with this wish, however, goes a warning to all who may be driving during the holiday period. An increased amount of traffic will be traveling the nation's highways particularly for the ,p eriod beginning next Friday night and ending the following Monday. A little extra caution, care, and consideration can save a great deal of time, expense, and perhaps e·;en a human life - so drive carefully. Trustees Seek Name For Athletic Field For the first time in the history of the college the student body has been given the opportunity of naming a piece of campus property as the Board of Trustees seek a fitting title for the Artillery Park athletic field. The Board of Trustees is considering three already submitted names - Dadurka Field, Sullivan Field, and Pennsfield. From a group of names which will include the student contributions the Board will choose the most suitable name. To aid them in making their decision, board members request that students include a short explanation of their reasoning along with the name they submit. The field, the former Artillery Park and home of the Wilkes-Barre Barons Baseball Club, was taken over by the 109th Field Artillery seven years ago. The college obtained a long-term lease from the 109th, under which they will provide caretaker service and increase the attractiveness of the area, with no cost to its owners. The field is also available to the 109th for special occasions and physical conditioning of their men, and to the community during the summer through the Recreation Association. Serving as a combination baseball diamond, gridiron, and soccer and field hockey field, the area was initiated last spring by the Athletic Department. Students may submit proposed names and accompanying explanations in written form to the 'Beacon' at its Bookstore mailbox.

Friday, April 13, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Eller Excels as Sports Siar, Sludenl, and Working Family Man by Jerry Shilanski Most of us still go along with "old Tom Jefferson" and all that stuff he had to say about men being equal, but it certainly makes some of us wonder when once in a "blue moon' an extraordinary individual is born. Now it is quite evident that one of two things happened to Donald F. Eller: either the moon was blue on a night twenty-two years ago or he just took what he was given and developed it to a fine point of perfection.

For his fine pitching performance in the team's initial contest, Joe Kruczek has received the nomination. The veteran hurler handcuffed the Mules of Muhlenburg College, allowing only four hits and a lone tally. The Mule score was driven across on a two-out single by Tom Rothrock in the sixth inning . single and a run scored. Although he received excellent defensive support from the team, Joe was the central figure in the victory as he displayed poise and confidence on the mound in setting down a succession of Muhlenburg batters. A native of Manville, New Jersey, Joe is a sophomore residing in Butler Hall. He is majoring in history. During his freshman year, he participated in football, basketball, and was a letter winner in baseball. It appears that Joe has improved greatly since last season when he had a rather disappointing record. He is throwing hard and his control has been somewhat amazing. He and Bob Fleming have been designated to form the core of the Colonel mound staff. A fine athlete at Manville High School, he won letters in football, Joe Kruczek baseball, basketball, and track before coming to Wilkes. Tewell, and Pete Lehr.

He was accompanied by his wife on this his first trip of the campaign into Luzerne County. Mr. Dilworth outlined what he considered to be the major differences between his stand and that of his opponent. He then discussed the basic issues of the campaign and offered ways by which he would conduct the governor's office, if elected, in light of the problems facing the state. Following his address he opened the floor to students' questions and answered many on subjects ranging from education and its needs in the state to the necessity of attracting new industry to alleviate the problems of unemployment. His program is basically one of carrying forth the accomplishments of the present state administration. However, he also has several suggestions which he feels will improve the quality of the state's government. Included among these are proposals for allowing the governor to succeed himself in office and in this way provide a realistic basic for advocating a revision of the state's outmoded constitution. In addition, he favored the extension of the state's civil service coverage to lessen the amount of patronage available to the governor. Although he feels that the state revenues could suffice to meet his proposed programs for the length of his administration without any increase in taxes, he does advocate a revision of existing tax sources with a view to closing many of the existing tax loopholes.

"Enemy of lhe People" Performed By Cue and Curlain Players by Barbara A. Lore One man waging a battle against the forces of societythis is the drama which will unfold tonight and tomorrow evening at Chase Theater as the Cue and Curtain players present Henrik Ibsen's Enemy of the People. This three act drama, adapted by Arthur Miller, is set in a Norwegian village recently blessed with a thriving, profitable business in mineral springs and baths. Conflicts arise when Dr. Stockman, the man against soci-ety, discovers that water in the springs is polluted and demands that it be purified.

The final amendment passed states tha.t the Studelllt Government will meet to consider decisions made by the Court of Appeals only when such decisions are contrary t9 those made by the Student Government. In !the past, it was necessary for the Student Government to meet to consider all Court of Appeals decisions. In the student balloting, the Class of 1963 also elected Jerry Mohn to the vice-presidency, and chose Rosalie Kackauskas and Conrad Wagner for the respective positions of secretary and treasurer. Student Government representatives selected from a field of five candidates in the Class of 1963 were James Walters, Gerald Moffatt, Bernard Cohen, and Ted Begun. The Class of 1964 chose Al Gubanich who ran unopposed as vicepresident, and selected Lorraine Dyers as secretary and John Campbell as treasurer. Five candidaites ran for Student Government representative in the Class of 1964. Those elected were Gail Roberts, Richard Burns, Fred Smithson, and Lou Coopey. The Class of 1965 elected Alfonse Bayo as vice-president from a field of four candidates, Sieglinde Vallot as secretary, and Ronald Grohowski as treasurer.

Consideration Needed The term paper season is upon us once again and the facilities of the college library are being heavily taxed. Although the material avo:ilable at a small college library such as Wilkes possesses may be small, it would not be inadequate if used properly. All too often, students stealthily place library books in briefcases, purses, or notebooks and "accidently" bypass the librarian's desk on their way out the nearest door. Not only is this dishonest, but it is also inconsiderate and unfair to the many students who depend upon the library as their source of information. In addition, library cards are issued to every student and so no reason exists for such action. Many valuable books have been missing from library shelves for great lengths of time and are probably not being used by anyone because the student who has taken the book out illegally is too unconcerned about the welfare of his fellow students to return the book so that others may use it. Such lack of consideration is becoming a common trait among college students who are supposedly being educated to know better. The library is provided for the use of all students. Books which .are removed by students for long periods of time may contain information vital to other students and even faculty members. A little consideration will go a long way. Plan your time carefully. Take only those books from the library that you know you will need. Have them checked out, and then return them as soon as possible. Only in this way can the library furnish the student body of Wilkes College with adequate library facilities. A New Trend Along with the many new trends which seem to be constantly growing in our world of today, one conspicuous trend has made itself known here on the college campus. It seems to be a trend for members of our student body to forget that they are just that - members of the Wilkes College student body. As such, they have a definite responsibility to uphold high standards of conduct both on and off. campus. It has been called to our attention that numerous occurences involving theft and damages caused by Wilkes students have taken place recently. These students who seem to care little about their own reputation are seriously jeopardizing that of more than 1,000 other students who may be classed with this small group. The question before us now is what can be done? The movement to improve student conduct must come from the students themselves. The student body itself must take action now to halt such action before steps are taken outside of the student body which may prove to be more harmful. It is totally up to us. We can continue to add to the good reputation developed by Wilkes students in the past, or we can set a new precedentone which labels Wilkes students as childish, complacent, individuals lacking any concern for their college, community, or themselves. Adminislralion Reviews Policies On Drinkingl Student Court On Monday night at the Student Government meeting, the Policies Committee stated that the Student Government proposed drinking policy and the ideas concerning a student honor court are in the hands of the Administration. Another item of business was the third reading of a proposed amendment, making it a mandate to send all Court decisions to Student Government, and meeting to reconsider only those decisions which are contrary. All three proposed amendments had been approved by the Administrative Council, which approval ena:bled the Student Body to vote on those amendments on Wednesday. I Editor, Wilkes College Beacon Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Editor: During the past few weeks, a number of things have come to the attention of this office concerning student conduct which is adversely affecting the reputation of each Wilkes College student. Because a few individuals are damaging the good name of all students of the College, I thought perhaps you might like to inform the student body of these matters. First, a letter from Captain Morgan, Wilkes-Barre C h i e f of Police, indicated that persons have taken nine parking meters ($75 each) from the area around the College. These persons were observed by plainclothesmen entering Wilkes College property. Although the City has not said that our students have -t aken the meters, the implications are rather clear. If any students know the whereabouts of the meters, the meters may be returned by placing them in an obvious location for collection. Second, in addition ito the above, Chief Morgan .stated that students have been jamming parking meters with stones. One student has already been apprehended. Future violators will ·b e prosecuted. Third, last week a freshman student parked in the Gies Lot. Some ill-mannered student(s) pushed his car out of the lot, moved it across the street, and blocked the drive of a doctor who was called out on an emergency. The student had to pay a $2.50 City parking fine and $5 in towing charges. Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time to save the -p atient. Next time these ill-mannered students might have someone's life on their consciences for their irresponsible actions. Fourth, recently the personnel who clean the buildings have reported that some young men(?) seem to take great delight in writing obscene words and phrases on the walls of the men's rooms. It must take a small person to do something in private that he would not do in public. Fifth, a few individuals have been taking entire shelves of books and stacking ,them on the floors of the library. The above eV'ents are being presented because it is felt that the student body will want to do something. They are being done by a handful of students, but unfortunately their actions reflect on each student at Wilkes College. Each of you, as mature men and women, know right from wrong, good from bad. Where do you stand? Will you speak up against such actions when you see them taking place? Sincerely yours_, R?bert B. Morris . . . Director of Student Activities Two petitions were submitted to Student Government at this time. One concerned the changing of library hours, and the other petition was a proposal that the Student Government president be elected by the Student Body. Among other items of business was the granting of permission to the Junior Class to have a booth at the spring carnival in order to raise money to help pay for the Duke Ellington Concert.

WHAT - WHERE - WHEN - Friday, May 4, 1962 STUDENT SKETCH Collier's Talents Tried As 'Amnicola' Publication ·Dale Nears by Gloria Zaludek Does the work reflect the man? Will a yearbook mirror the qualities of its editor? When, in the last week of May, the Amnicola is distributed perhaps its readers will recognize the hidden qualities of its editor, Harry Collier. Harry is a handsome senior commerce and finance major from Duryea. A three-year member of the Amnicola staff, he served as assistant editor of that publication last year. Although Harry declined comment on the cover and design of the yearbook, ("Let everyone be surprised"), he did offer one clue, "It will have pictures and captions." This reporter was able to learn that the staff devoted many hours to writing captions which are both thought-provoking and humorous. Indeed the yearbook should be proof of Harry's perception and his lively sense of humor. "Editing is not, however, perpetual fun and relaxation," Harry mused. "It involves perserverance and concentration." Hard work is alien to his personality, though; he worked as a typist at the Tobyhanna Signal Depot last summer, and has worked part-time as a garage attendant and mechanic. He also served with ,the U.S. Army.

First of all, he looks like a hitter at the plate. He stands six feet tall and is a solid-muscled 185 pounds. He's black-haired and handsome. Secondly, he is a hitter - and a fine ·one. Through the first 7 games of the Colonel schedule, he hds a lusty batting average of .340, and has totaled 2 home runs and 10 RBI's. Third is his versatile defensive ability. Although generally listed as a third baseman, he can produce a competent performance at any of the outfield positions and first base. What he lacks in speed, he makes up for with one of the best throwing arms in the MAC. He even has the little intangibles that make one ball player stand out among others. There is his background as a G.A.R. star performer on the gridiron and diamond. Lou gained All-Scholastic honors as a thundering guard for the 1960 Grenadiers and helped the Hilltoppers to one of their best years in baseball with his staunch play.

Dydomen Home Tuesday With Susquehanna U.; Split with Lycoming On Tuesday, Coach Mike Dydo's baseball team will clash with the Crusaders o f S u s q u e h a n n a University a-t the new athletic field. The down-river nine are currently enjoying another successful season and the Colonels are hoping to better their 3-4 won-lost record against the Crusaders. Game time is 3:30. Next Thursday the Dydomen will travel to Reading to meet Albright College. The Lions are another of the more potent teams in the MAC and can be expected rto subject the Colonels to a rigorous test. Last Saturday afternoon Wilkes was involved in a double-header split with Lebanon Valley College. Both ends of the twin-bill were action-packed affairs as the Colonels took the opener •b y a score of 14-3, while Lebanon Valley gained a 6-4 victory in the night-cap. Captain Lou Zampetti was the hitting star f o r Wilkes as he slammed a homer in each game in addiltion to a triple. His circuit blow in the second game came with the bases full and accounted for all of the Wilkes runs. The Colonels collected 17 hits in the opener for their season high. Alt home again this past Tuesday, the Dydomen once more split a double-header, this time with Lycoming College. In the first game, Joe held the Warriors to five hits while fanning four. Paul Aquilino and Len Yankoski, in addition to Kruczek, collected two safeties apiece. The second game ended in a 10-6 extra-inning victory for Lycoming after the Colonels tied the score wilth a five-run outburst in the fifth inning. Each team collected seven hits, but eight bases-on-balls presented to the Warrior hitters proved to be the difference in scoring. . Lou Zampetti and Matt Himlin garnered two hits apiece in the losing effort. vert who endears ballplayers with his clubhouse needling, and fans wirth his never-failing courtesy. Last season Lou took over the hot-corner for the Colonels and teamed with Bobby Ontko for the "long ball" power of the squad. This season, with Ontko absent via graduartion, the full measure of the Colonel's power lay on the sophomore's shoulders. He has responded to the challenge and with the "big swing" of his bat, has been the top hitter for ,the Colonels. But last Saturday the sturdy third-sacker sent two balls over . the left-centerfield fence for home runs.

The award is for the academic year 1962-63, as graduate assistant in the department of sociology and anthropology at Duke. In addition to the Duke assistantship, Krall received one-year scholarship offers from the University of Wisconsin, the University, of Pittsburgh, and Penn State University. He chose Duke because of advice offered by our sociology department and because of the program offered at the school. Krall's duties as departmental assistant will include correcting tests, p1'ootoring classes, and assisti~g in research dealing with methods in such sociological areas as complex social organizations and social psychology. Krall's position as a department assistant will afford him insight into both teaching and research as prospective career fields.

In a characteristic statement, he went on to say that he feels he owes j future Wilkes students all the knowledge and experience he can command to aid them in overcoming the problems and complexities of a college education. It will .be a long, hard pull to I the end of the road, but he will ; have his family - his wife, Patricia, his son, Jeffrey, and his daughters, Pamela and Susan, who are going with him - to cheer him along.

Giving the legend a new twist Cinderella's kingdom will be a Tea~ house of the August Moon created from gold and orange crepe paper bright lanterns, and opaque, flower~ bordered screens. An oriental rock garden, encircling an ebony tr;e laden with yellow lanterns, will dominate the central position in this Oriental paradise and complete the regal setting. · All wHl watch with bated breath as a, procession of eleven potential Cinderellas march through the midst of this regal setting shortly before the magic hour. The pageantry, narrated by Joe Shambe and Mimi Milson, will lead up to the "magic moment" when her royal majesty will be presented to her anxious subjects. The triumphant sovereign will then accept her royal duty and lead her subjects in the quest of pleasure as they cavort to the tunes of her majesty's "royal musicians" led by Gene Dempsey. As delegates of her ma,jesty Al Kishel, Mr. and Mrs. Robert MorDr. and Mrs. John Doane, Mike Mr. and Mrs. John Doane, Mike Bianco, and Gail Roberts will form a receiving line to greet all visitors. Dean Ralston and Mr. Morris, as royal chaperones, will see that justice and order prevail in the kingdom. Royal commissioners in charge of the affair, Gail Roberts and James Walters, have proclaimed that tickets for the ball are now on sale in the cafeteria at $2.50 per couple. Assisting them in their royal duties are Harvey Rosen, Bonnie Jenkins, Louis Coopey, Ted Begun, Richard Burns, Catherine DeAng-elis, Joseph Shambe, James Jones, Virginia Mason, Fred Smithson, Patricia Ropetski, and Jeff Gallet. Spring Carnival Mary Lee Vannoy, her majesty's press agent, has announced that the coronation will have radio a,nd television coverage - proving that not even this Far Eastern kingdom can remain untouched by modern technology. Continuing in this festive vein, royal ,merriment will prevail at the Spring Carnival tomorrow evening in Pa,rrish Hall Parking Lot. Two huge clowns at the entrance to the lot will welcome entertainment-seekers to a world of concessions, variety acts, refreshments, and open-air dancing. The variety of concession booths ranging from a rat race to a wheel of chance and presided over by campus organizations, will be available for the amusement of students of all interests. That most necessary ingredient of every carnival - a beauty contest - will be the highlight of the evening - and a most extraordinary beauty contest this is, since instead of featuring the usual feminine pulchitrude, its subject is legs - male legs.

As of this writing, no suggestions from the student body have been submitted. While we are well aware that everyone may not have talent in this area, it is obvious that there must be someone in a student body of more 1200 members_who has some opinion regarding the field. It has been suggested by off-campus sources that the field be named in honor of some distinguished local personality and suggestions in this area are also welcomed. Students are invited to use the ballot on this page and may submit it with their suggestion to the Beacon mailbox in the Bookstore, to the Beacon office in Pickering 202, or to any member of the staff. This is an opportunity for some Wilkes student to display his ability and to bring acclaim to himself and to the general student body. than On Spring Weekend Spring Weekend with a number of gala affairs is once again upon us and many students are hurriedly making final arrangements for this event. Many thanks in advance go to those who have given of their time and talent to prepare for the Weekend and to make it tlie success which we are sure it will be. All of us can help, though, simply by being in attendance at these affairs. Every possible arrangement has been made to insure the students at this year's Spring Weekend an enjoyable time and the location of the events makes them convenient to all. Stephens ·College Signs·Paci Wilh .U.S ..Office of Education Stephims· College and the U.S. Office of Education recently signed a contract for a· project involving final planning for the selection and integration of a wide variety of educational media to be used in the Stephens College of Learning Ceniter; · , . 'l'he project is entitled "The Planning of Educational Media for a new Learning Center, and the Preparation of a Record Suitable for National Distribution." Primarily the project will enable Stephens to identify the most modern and functional resources of ' the newer media for learning .that are to be incorporated in the five structures that will create the James M.

The first building article. acquired by the college, when it was. still Bucknell University JuI)for' College, is perhaps symbolic <if all buildings that have become ,part of Wilkes. Chase Hall was presented ,t o the college by Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark, present chairman of the Board of Trustees, in honor of his sister and her husband, , Mr. and Mrs. Fred M. Chase. Du.ring the years it has belonged to the college, Chase Hall has ·served many purposes. It has been used continuously as the AdministratiQn . Building and presently houses the offices of the President, the Deans, and other administrative · officials. In addition, Chase Hall was used to house the first college cafeteria, once housed the language department, and has also provided space for recreation centers. The beauty of the building, constructed about 1917, prompted its selection, in 1958, as one of the most prominent , . and interesting buildings in Wilkes-Barre. A. Aubrey Bodine, photographic director of the Baltimore Sunday Sun, so selected Chase Hall in behalf of the Baltimore Life Insurance Company.

You take a long stick with a fat hitting surface and then you swing at a small ball that is . rock-hard .and absolutely stationary. No curves, no sliders - not even a change of pace. That's all there is to it. But, for some curious reason, golf isn't quite as simple as it appears. Major-league sluggers, who can time perfectly a curve ball that breaks a full foot, suddenly freeze when faced by a motionless golf ball. Pro fullbacks who regularly bull their way through 1,600 pounds of furious flesh cringe when they see a sand trap. Golf ultimately becomes a demanding game and in the past two decades only a few hundred men have mastered it well enough to win a top tournament. More significantly, only a handful have mastered the sport so thoroughly that they were able to win a lot of tournaments. To establish himself as a top. notch golfer, a player must possess three distinct talents : 1. He must have a perfect or near-perfect swing with the grace of Bobby Jones. 2. He must be willing to practice constantly, with an eye toward improving his strokes. He must possess the dedication of an Arnold Palmer. 3. During a 111atch, he must be able to ignore everything except winning. The true intensity of Ben Hogan -is a necessity of becoming a top performer. The degree to which any golfer can combine these three skills will eventually determine his greatness. Arnold Palmer. with his explosive play and Gary Rlayer with an everpresent air of consistency have filled the sports pages across the country with their top play. Too often local players are taken for granted and their heroics, which long match the play of the pros, are pushed to the back page of the newspapers. A sudden streak of greatness, comparable to •t he feat of Ken Venturi in the 1956 Masters, is needed to bring the heroics into view. Last week the Wilkes duffers b a t t l e d the East Stroudsburg golfers to a 9-9 tie in regulation play, sending the margin of victory into a sudden-death playoff between the ,t wo number-one men. Roger Stern, Bethlehem Metropolitan champion and top golfer in the state college circuit, led off for the Warriors against John Occhiato, an unknown from Wilkes. The first hole was bogeyed by both golfers. Both men got great tee.shots off on the second fairway with Occhiato's shot out-distancing Stern's by 30 feet. A top wedgeshot carried the ball -t o within two feet of the cup for the Colonel number-one man. A short putt with a dense air of excitement hanging overhead scored a birdie, a victory for Wilkes. Out of the darkness of obscurity came another topnotch performer. The degree to which John Occhiato combines the three skills are without question. So far, there is no doubt about his swing. It is fluid and efficient, an applied blend of accuracy and power. He possesses hand-speed, timing, and balance. Occhiato's willingness to practice is unmatched on the Colonels' squad. Although he is hampered by a heavy schedule of engineering subjects, the freshman duffer has a rigorous training schedule so "Old-Timers" Return Tomorrow for Annual Alumni-Varsity Contest The Colonels will turn back the sands of time . tomorrow as the baseball stars of the 1950-1960 era return to the Wilkes diamond to participate in the second annual Alumni-Varsity baseball game. Game time is 2 p.m. Last year the stars of yesteryear took an early lead, but couldn't hold back the tide of youth as the Varsity captured a thrilling, and somewhat humorous, 12-11 victory.

I The Colonels staged a major uprising in the inning to knot the score, 7-7, to send the contest into extra innings. In the tenth inning, Joe Kruczek, who relieved Schwefel on the mound in the ninth, led off with a double. Tom Trosko advanced the runner with a bunt single and, after Aquilino grounded out, Matt Himlin sent the winning run across with a single off the third baseman's glove. The Royals loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning, but failed to score. Tuesday's game with Susquehanna University was rained out.

May 11, 1962 Gridders Hold Spring Praclice Under Schmidt's Able Leadership This year for the first time in the history of Wilkes College football, the Colonel gridders are engaging in a two-week spring practice session. Under newly-appointed head coach Roland Schmidt, the team is busy shedding excess poundage acquired during the winter months. In a meeting with the team last Thw:sday, Coach Schmidt presented a straight-forward approach to football. He said that it was up to the players to put forth their best effort. Schmidt further stated that the team was capable of playing winning football if they could muster the desire and will to win. Co-Captain Bill Meneeley, Coach Schmidt, Co-Captain Jerry Mohn Actual practice sessions began last Monday at the girls' hockey field with the team undergoing rigorous calisthenics and running through plays. Notebooks containing most of the plays to be used next season have been dis•t ributed to the team to study over the summer. The team is practicing without pads, and, of course, there are no contact drills or scrimmages involved in the practice sessions. Although the squad of thirty-odd players is running through plays, the purpose of the spring drills, according to Coach Schmidt, is to verse the team in the basic fundamentals of the game of football. This is to enable the team to begin practice nex,t fall in a smoother and more rewarding manner. As a result, the Colonels should be well-trained and better-equipped to challenge their MAC foes this falL Working with Schmidt at practice have been Jonah Goobic and Frank Spudis. Goobic, who was formerly a halfil>ack at Bloomsburg State College, is concerned chiefly with the backfield, while Spudis is performing in the capacity of line coach.

In an interview with guard Jerry Mohn, this reporter learned that the outlook for next season is definitely bright. Mohn said that he was truly impressed with the spirit that the team has shown and the caliber of players present. There are a number of fast halfbacks working out along with a bevy of quarterbacks. The number of players is expected to increase in the fall, with the incoming freshmen and a numiber of players who, for various reasons, are not available for the spring practice session. Mohn, who is certainly looking forward to next season, intimated that from what he's seen during the practice sessions thus far, the team would be prepared to meet Moravian next weekend. If Mohn's enthusiasm is indicative of that expressed by the rest of the team, Wilkes football is in line for a long-overdue uprising. 18 W . Northampton St..

Golfers Win Thriller From EaSt stroudsburg; Play Tournament Today Tournament time hits the Colonel golf schedule this weekend as the Blue and Gold duffers prepare for play in two post season tourneys. Today the linksmen are in New York state playing in the Annual Harpur Golf Tourney. This is a medalist type tourney with both individual and team champions chosen. On the road for ,t heir second tourney, the Colonels will be at the Fox Hill Country Club on Monday for the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference championship. Scranton is the host college this year with Wilkes coach Welton Farrar acting as chairman for the annual play. A record number of 25 -teams are entered with LaSalle and Bucknell as the early favorites. Last year the Colonels acted as hosts for the tourney with Bucknell capturing the .title for the third consecutive year. · An interesting sideline on the tourney is that John Occhiato and Frank Lepore, both stalwarts for the Colonel golfers, are regular golfers on the Fox Hill course and will be "dark horses" for the individual medalist title. Edge East Stroudsburg Last Saturday the Wilkes linksmen played the East Stroudsburg golfers to a 9-9 tie in a regulation match. This sent the ·p lay into a sudden-death overtime between the two number-one men for the clubs. Bob Stern, the top player for the Warriors, and John Occhiato played in the Do-or-Die playoff.

Tennismen Meet Royals Tomorrow; Drop Decision lo Susquehanna . . Tomorrow afternoon the Colonel tennis squad will take to their home court to meet the Royals of Scranton University. The visiting netmen are eager to avenge last year's humiliating defeats by the Colonels. Last season saw the Wilkesmen crush the Royals, 9-0 and 8-1. Scranton is reported to be a much-improved aggregation this year, as they have a number of returning lettermen. Their number-one man, whom Bud Menaker has beaten twice, has shown vast improvement over his performances of last year. Scranton has already beaten a tough King's squad during the current campaign. On Monday the Colonels will journey to Bethlehem to end the season by battling the Greyhounds of Moravian College. Last year the Greyhounds came away with a 6-3 victory over Wilkes and are expected to provide the Colonels with a tough match again this year. Sam Kilpatrick, who has coached tennis at Moravian since 1947, has a nucleus of five lettermen from the 1961 team that posted a fine 10-3 record. The five lettermen are expected to hold starting posts, with Merr Trumbore again playing No. 1. Last year he paced the Greyhounds with nine victories in 13 matches in the leadoff spot. He was named most valuable player on the squad. Moravian also has a group of experienced players sta·n ding by to fill any vacancies in <the starting rotation. Wilkes saw its season log fall to a disappointing 1-3 won-lost total as they dro,p ped a 5-4 decision to Susquehanna last Saturday. The Crusaders gained their victory in <the contest in the last doubles match as Wilkes' Owen Francis and Fred Smithson lost in three sets. Captain Bud M e n a k e r and Fred Smithson won their singles matches. In the doubles Menaker and Bill Klein won in straight sets and Gary Einhorn and Gary Frank took the second doubles match in three sets. Thus far in the season, the Colonels have been experiencing a run of tough luck as far as victory is concerned. Of their three losses, two were by 5-4 margins and the other was by a 6-3 count. They have played excellent tennis and have just fallen short of victory match play. Also there have been three contests which were rained out. The chances of a Wilkes victory in each of these contests were quite good according to the records posted by these teams this year. With the two remaining games on the schedule the Colonels hope to even their season record at three wins and three defeats. Men's Summer Fashions Forecast; "Tall Look" Latest Male Styling by Robert L. Green, Fashion Director of "Playboy" Magazine There is neither a full nor sloppy line to be found in men's clothes this spring and summer. The shape is the "tall look." Suits, jackets, and slacks are cut along the lean, lithe lines demanded by young men who have influenced the entire market. Every trick of line and design that slim down and stretch out the well-fed figure of less than towering height is being used. Ski and sea are the hottest fashion trends in outerwear for summertime. Winter sportswear items have been translated into summer clothes: ski stretch pants into lightweight slacks and jackets, hoods on many different jackets, also draw string bottoms on slicker cloths. Nautical motifs are on everything (but watch it - a little motif, anchors and flags, etc., goes a long way.) The best of the boating trend are the water-repellent poplins in flag designs. "Stretch" fabrics ( originated in Europe for skiwear) are now ready to "give a little" literally to add stretch to outerwear, slacks, walk shorts sport shirts and swimwear. As the peasant soup of one country becomes a gourmet's delight in another country, the stitched "workshirt" look is moving toward high fashion acceptance. The fresh thought for sport shirts is double duty - on the beach at the club, in the garden or any place under the sun. Typical is the sport shirt cut along the lines of the cardigan sweater or sports coat (rounded front, three buttons, et al.). Summer sweaters are seasoned for summer comfort. The word now is "shirting-weight" sweaters and there is a wide choice of knit and texture. We endorse the "uncluttered" and classic lines. Fashion First: The matching cardigan and shirt set - same yarn, same weight, same texture. These sweatermates can give you a "Fashion First" this summer. Ascots are gaining in popularity and are very useful as a bold color accent or when used in subtle shades to tone down a bright jacket or sweater. Fashion Detail: The p o c k et handkerchief (all white or colored silk square) worn in the breast pocket of a business suit can ei- ther be a touch of sophistication or a bit of a cornball. Avoid the precisely folded points. The handkerchiefs should be in casual fold or in the "puff fold". The straight even line is definitely square and out. Color: The spring and summer scene is bright and dynamic with raw "hot" shades having cooled down a bit. Color takes on a white, lighter appearance about a frosted quality. There is a blaze of color :in swimwear with the shorter boxer type the most popular shape. Note: The most predominant color impact is being felt from new style treatments of the classic red, white and blue. Look for the upcoming fashion trend of the use of white and whitened eff ects in the summer wardrobe. You'll see it in slacks, blazers and shoes - a clean, fresh, cool look for summertime. Wardrobe Hint: Balance your wardrobe with one dark and subdued jacket. The dusky blues are running strong. Note: A new model in sports jackets is the 1962 version of the double - breasted c o a t with a rounded front and a button-off back belt. If the pattern in the jacket is a bold plaid, make it a strong color. For stripes, the colors should be more subdued. Comfort is the important feature in the summer headwear. Straws will increase in popularity. Many men who disdain dress hats may find the "right thing" for them in a beach or fun hat. �6 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON STUDENT SKETCH . Barry has never performed as an actor, either in his high school group, The Buskins, or in Cue and Curtain. According to Barry, most people interested in the theater make the mistake of not joining a theatrical group because they· can't act. He states, "Besides the acting, all other fac ets help to create the illusion; the staging, makeup, lighting, and so forth." Take for example, as Barry did, the production of Ibsen's Enemy .of the People. Work on this play started immediately after the One Acts presented in March. Theater members began working on scenery or "flats" as they are re·ferred to in the theater. As soon as the barest skeleton of scenery is r eady, it is plac~d on the stage to help the actors become accustomed to dt. Soon the lighting people begin to string the lights above and along the stage. They work with the color and placements of the lights as the play moves through rehearsal. In the meantime, makeup, costume, and properties t echnicians are fulfilling their end of the production. This aspect of theater plays has involved Barry for the last eight years. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Gun.tel, he was born in Brooklyn and now lives in Woodmere, Long Island. He is a senior business administration major. Barry chose to come here after investigating the fadlities of many colleges. "I saw a number of colleges, but when I got here, I liked what I found. The people were friendly, the college was small, which was something I wanted, and when they wrote me I was accepted, I wrote back, 'I am coming.' If I had to select all over again, I would still come to Wilkes." When asked about his Cue and Curtain experiences, Barry replied briefly, "Many varied and wonderful. I wish more people would take advantage of the theater as workers and spectators. Response to programs should be greater among students and faculty members." Mrs. ~nne Liva, faculty member of the Wilkes College Music Department, has returned from her first tour as adjudicator of the National Pia~o Auditions, sponsored by the Nat10nal Guild of Piano Teachers. . Si_n ce A•p ril 8 she has been judging m South Carolina. She left May 10 for North Carolina and Georgiia and will return May 26. On June 15 Mrs. Liva will open the new aud~tio~ center jn Stroudsbur.g. Begmning June 20 she will judge the entire audition of The Greater New York Institute of Music in Brooklyn. Mrs. Liva is the Scranton Chairman of the Nat,ional Guild of Piano Teachers; a faculty member and adjudicator of the Guild; and "District Two" chairman of the Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association. This district includes seven com_ities in northeastern Pennsylvania. Barry Gintel Gintel has resided in Barre Hall for the past four years. His comment on the men of Barre was short, "Fantastic bunch of guys." He has been a member of the Asse:r:nbly Committee s,ince the end of his sophomore year. This committee as a whole plans any assembly that does not involve students or faculty members. Barry's particular responsibility is making staging arrangements for every assembly program. In his experience on the Assembly Committee Barry has found, "It is difficult to get an assembly program that is both enterta,i ning and educational." Barry commented on the Jazz Concert programs, "Fantastic idea, if you get the right performers, the right organizers, adequate support, and -e liminate the word "jazz". This particular word has a stigma that is unfortunately not understood accurately by many people, and may not invoke the response that is needed for this type of event. It has to be the type of program that will appeal to a large group of people partially because of the finances involved.'' Off campus Barry has served as a Red Cross volunteer driver and a 1,ighting technician for the Fine Arts Fiesta. POME ROY' S Men's Dept.

The position, vacated by Mr. Robert Morris (see Beacon.

Dean Doane began her assignment here in 1954 and in addition to serving as Dean of Women, she has also served as advisor to Theta Delta Rho and to the assembly committee. Students at Wilkes have always been in close proximity with Mrs. Deane's office because all were welcome to come in and discuss serious personal problems, plan affairs, or merely pass a few moments of the day. All of us have become acquainted with her geniality and willingness to assist in any way possible. . We indeed owe a debt of gratitude to Mrs. Doane for he:r untiring, unselfish dedication to the college. It is a privilege and to her husband, Dr. John Doane, best wishes for every and o her husband, Dr. John Doane, best wishes for every possible happiness. Identity of .Eighl-Year:wOld 'Manuscript' Contributor Is Revealed by B·a rbara A. Lore Many readers of the current Manuscript were probably perplexed by the vague identification line--a contribution from an 8-year-old girl whose mother is a student-on the poem "The Love of the World." The identity of this mystery writer can now be revealed. She is Sybil Fischman, 3rd grade daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Fischman, 107 Maffett St., WilkesBarre, an extremely precocious child who has written a play, short story, and several other poems besides this one. Sybil wrote this poem as an anniversary present for. her parents since she as the youngest child had no allowance with which to .purchase a gift. Dr. Philip Rizzo, advisor of the Manuscript, discovered the poem when Sybil's mother, a student in the Temple Graduate program, brought the poem into class to share it with a friend. Impressed with the quality of the verse, Dr. Rizzo suggested the possibility of having the verse printed in the Manuscript. Sybil, who also enjoys reading poetry immensely, has been encouraged in her literary interests by her mother who is an instructor in the Wilkes-Barre City.

Dear Editor: As the end of the year grows nearer with each tick of the clock I feel that the time has come to reflect on the "Spirit of Wilkes." Complaints of apathy and lack of social life float around campus like a heavy cloud and those who complain most are those who do the least to dispel the gloom. Wilkes is relatively an infant school and it is natural that a college such as ours would not have the traditions or the extravagant social functions that the ancient Ivy League is noted for. But we, the students of the present, have an opportunity that others do not have or can not ever hope to have. We can initiate the traditions of Wilkes and help to raise the college to ne:w heights scholastically and socially. A college should be more than a diploma factory. It is a way of life to which more should be given than is taken away. The years one spends in school should be period of growth, both mentally and socially. It is a time when attitudes change and develop and it boils down to one thing: Wilkes is what the students make it, and the success or failure of all activities depends on the attitude of the participants. Incidentally it does take participants to make any function possible. I personally believe that Wilkes has come a long way in a short time and it need not take a back seat to any comparable institution. If some of you disagree with me, speak to students who attend other colleges. I have found many who are amazed at the number and type of social activities we have here. I am proud to say I am from Wilkes and I am happy to have had the opportunity to serve as Chairman of the School Spirit Committee. It · has meant many headaches but it was worth every pain. I wou.ld like to thank the clubs, organizations, and individuals without whose help and cooperation the task would have been impossible. In particular I wish to commend the regular and loyal mimbers of the committee itself who gave much of their free time to insure the success of our many projects. The · recent Spring Week end could not have taken place without the ai-d of Mr. William Jervis and his crew, Jerry Moffat and the Economics Club who handled the arrangements for the Outing, John Biga and the Radio Club who supplied the sound equ1pment, Mr. William Denion who helped in procuring the refreshments and food, and Mr. Robert Morris, Mr. Arthur Hoover, and Miss Millie Gittins who have served as advisors and chaperones for many of the year's activities. Thanks also to Mr. Robert De Young and Senor Jose Rebas who served as chaperones for Sunday's outing. It should also be noted that many groups outside the school have contributed the use of equipment to us. A special thank you goes to the Wilkes-Barre Park Department, Major Webber of the National Guard, and the WilkesBarre Junior Chamber of Commerce who supplied the lights for the Carnival; the Sun Oil Company for the use of the pennants; and Dairy Dan Incorporated for the fine publicity. In conclusion I say thanks again to everyone for everything. Let's keep Wilkes going in one direction - up! Jerry Shilanski Chairman, School S1pirit Committee Editor: On behalf of the Student Government we would liike to thank the entire student body for their excellent co-operation in making the Cinderella Ball a success. The enthusiasm and co-operation of the many people who devoted hours of Friday, May 18, 1962 Umla, Versatile Instrumentalist, Specializes in Church Music by Gloria Zaludek Walter Umla, a senior music education major specializing in organ and piano, made his musical debut at age two when he sang a solo for his church choir. Since then he has developed his love for music by studying violin, piano, and organ. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Umla of Mountaintop, he accounts for his deep interest in music by recalling, "Good music has always been a part of my home life." Walt's family enjoys not only listening to, but also playing, good music. Having studied violin and piano, Walt had never had lessons on the organ. But when, at the age of eleven, he was asked to play for a church service, he consented. He remained for eight years as organist for his church in Mountaintop. His interest in church music has been augmented by his three-year position as director of music and as organist for the W estmoor Church of Christ in Kingston, and as organist at the Westminster Presbyterian Church of WilkesBarre. A graduate of Fairview High School in Mountaintop where he was accompanist for the mixed chorus for three years, Walt has been extremely active in campus life at the College. As a freshman he was in the chorus for the Cue and Curtain production "Annie Get Your Gun." He has been accompanist for the Collegians and a member of the mixed chorus throughout his college years. He is a three-year member of the Oratorio Society, and for two years Walter Umla has sung with the Mad rig a 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~ Singers.

They are especially impressed by those buildings which front on South River Street and feel that the River Common, fronting on the dike across the street, forms a beautiful lawn for the campus. Thus, this area provides the campus with the further feeling of traditional college roominess.

Captain Bud Menaker is one of these performers who deserves such a ranking. During his two-year career at Wilkes, Bud has been a consistent player who displayed superb conditioning and a good deal of skill A senior Political Science major, Bud compiled a 3-4 record in singles competition this season while logging a 4-3 mark with his partner Bill Klein in the doubles matches. These records include one exhibition match in addition to the regular MAC contests. At Wilkes, Bud played intr amural basketball with no little proficiency and also clinched the intramural tennis championship last year. (This tournament was not held this year). Bud resides in Warner Hall where he serves as dorm vicepresident. He has also ser ved ably on the Student Government this yea r . In an interview with this r eporter, Bud said that this year's t eam was capable of producing a winning season, but it was hampered by a lack of experience on the part of a f ew players. He stated that the t eam generally was in excellent condition, thanks to the expert training and coaching of Mr. Tom McFarland. Bud Menaker Bud is a native of Harrisburg where he starred for William Penn High School in tennis, captaining the team in his senior year . . Before coming to Wilkes, Bud went to Pennsylvania Military College where he pariticipated in varsity tennis in his freshman year. The team, Bud stated, was disappointed in their performance. They were provided with new fa. cilities, including twenty thousand dollar s in courts and excellent equipm.-ent, and the team f eels that they failed to prov,ide a.n adequate return on that investment. We on the ·Beacon Sports Staff, however , feel that the team has not let Wilkes down, but has been a tribute to the Wilkes spirit. They played spirited t ennis with a high regard to sportsmanship. Bud Menaker has been the foremost exponent of this type of play and we extend congratulations to this skilled and gentlemanly performer. We take pleasure in naming Bud "Athlete of the Week."

Working out at the quarterback slot during the spring drills have been 'B ill Schwab, a letter-winner from last campaign; Don Brominski, a transfer from Dickinson; and Rich Dallon, a newcomer to the ranks. Schmidt noted that returning members of last year's squad have shaped up well in drills which have featured skull sessions and light-dummy workouts. Returning letter-winners on the line, co-captains Bill Meneeley and Jerry Mohn, Bob Herman, Len Rishofski, Chuck Cherundolo, Ed Reese, Ron Mussleman, Roger McLaughlin, and Pete Winebrake, should give line coach Frank Spudis a formidable forward wall for the season. The quarterbacking chores will be ably handled by the three candidates mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The biggest problem facing the Colonels is the lack of "bulling backs." Coach Schmidt stressed the necessity of high morale on the team in order to produce a winner. When confronted with a prediction for the fall season the first-year mentor replied, "We will do the best job we can. That is what I ask and expect of my team." Training rules for the squad are few, loyalty and self-discipline. When the players realize that they must be in top physical condidtion to give their best, loyalty and self-discipline will set the individual rules. Each player must know "the team is only as strong as the slowest man getting back to the huddle." When asked the most important element in winning football S?hmidt answered, "Mental stance--never estimate your opponent to~ high or too low but face them as an equal. Conditioning, know how to block, know who to block, and don't make mistakes complete the picture." In tal!king with the new coach this reporter found the enthusiasm and determination to return winning football to Wilkes. If the team can respond with "the best they can" enthusiasm found in their mentor Wilkes football will return to the top of the sports world. ' Independent All-Stars Conquer Dorm and Facully All-Siar Teams Last Friday afternoon the Independent League intramural softball all-stars bested the Dorm League all-star aggregation, 9-7, in an exciting contest, the outcome of which was not decided until the late innings. Led by the staunch pitching of Evan Jenkins, the Independents banged out a string of singles to cap the victory. The game was strongly void of long-ball hitting and the defensive work of the Independents was excellent. The Gauchos placed five men on the allstar team while the Naughty Nine and Seagram's 7 added three and two ·players respectively, to the roster. Although the Dorm League allstars mounted an impressive offense, they were unable to push across the deciding tallies.

On Sunday the victorious Independents met a team of faculty members at the all-college outing at Rock Glen Park and the faculty emerged from the contest on the short end of a 10-3 score. Buddy Huntgarter was the winning pitcher. He was relieved in the sixth by Evan Jenkins who finished the game. Huntgarter also provided much of the offensive power for the all-stars as he crashed a home run and a single. The faculty had its own stars in John Chwalek at second base, John Reese at short, Dean Ralston catching, and Dirk Budd on the mound. Mr. Capin, Bob Morris, and Francis Pinkowski also provided the cheering fans with a good share of thrills. Roy Peters, Hayden Ferrence, Jack Tredinnick, Willie Brown, Joe Lukovitch, Carl Walp, Jerry Seckler, and Mike Elias rounded out the Independent lineup. Bowling Tournament of Champions To Be Televised from Indiana top prize of $16,000. The bowlers will begin the Tournament on Saturday, May 19 by rolling 24 games. Each bowler will roll against every other bowler. The 25th game will be a "position" game. Each bowler will bowl the man who immediately precedes him in scoring, thus second-place man bowls the firstplace man, fourth against third, sixth against fifth and so on through the entire list. In this round, as in the 24 preceding games, the bowler is credited with one point for each game he wins and one point for every 30 pins he knocks down. The three top scorers meet on T.V. and the winner is determined by total pinfall for two games. As with many bowling spectaculars of the past, AMF will coproduce the "500" Festival Tournament of Champions. �Friday, May 18, 1962 Wll.KES COLLEGE BEACON 6 STUDENT SKETCH Schwartz Broadens Knowledge Through Varied Experiences by Barbara A.

This issue of the Beacon marks the twenty-seventh and final in a series of issues know as volume twenty-six. In looking back over the past academic year, we find that the college has noted some proud achievements in practically every possible area of expansion. Glancing at the past issues of the Beacon has brought back to us many pleasant and a few unpleasant memories, with the pleasant recollections by far in the majority. Beacon volume twenty-six has reported stories of wide and varied interest from football games to semi-formals, from student elections to the plans and activities of any number of groups and individuals. No single issue of the Beacon could have been possible, however, were it not for the tremendous amount of assistance rendered by many, many people. To our own staff members we extend a multitude of thanks for their many deeds of sacrifice and service. In particular, the untiring efforts of news editor Cynthia Hagley and feature editor Bob Bombay in producing each issue were invaluable. George Tensa and his sports staff did a tremendous job of keeping us and our readers informed of sports developments and an important post on any newspaper, that of the business manager, was capably filled by Ronald Sebolka. A faithful staff of reporters supplemented the work of the editorial board and many of these are to be commended for services above and beyond the call of duty. Noteworthy among these were Jerry Krasa, whose experience and dedication of time and energy proved to be inestimable, and Jerry Shilanski, who took time out from a busy schedule of other campus activities to share his writing and photographic talents with us. Included also in this group of outstanding reporters are the men and women who will compose next year's editorial staff. Gloria Zaludek, Mary Frances Barone, Barbara Lore, and Jim Jackiewicz spent many hours in -the Beacon office not only during the past year, but during all of their years at Wilkes. To Mr. Francis J. Salley, faculty advisor to the Beacon. go many thanks for his continued support and advice throughout the past year. To the members of the Beacon staff, Mr. Salley has served not only as an advisor, but also as a close friend. Mr. Livingston Clewell and Mrs. Barbara Fritz of the Public Relations Office were constantly ready to lend a helping hand by making news and pictures available which the Beacon staff sometimes missed. Mr. Stanley E. "Pop" Schmidt and his sons, Leo and Ed, of Schmidt's Printery also contributed much to each issue which went beyond the normal task of the newspaper printery. In addition to those directly associated with the Beacon, there were many members of the faculty, administration, student body, and college employees who were always ready to assist in any way possible with information or advice whenever needed. Last, but by no means least, my personal thanks and appreciation to my parents who have persevered through a year which has been filled with "never a dull moment". It has inded been an eventful year, and one which, needless to say, I shall not soon forget. With all the difficulties and problems of the past year, there is still a bright side, one which I am sure we all wish we had the opportunity of living over again. Fellow classmates and friends, In a ve~y short time, the Cla~s of 1962 will graduate. As pres1dent of the class I wish to express my -gratitude and thanks to the faculty and student body for their help in making this a very pleasant four years. .

Thus do the k b h 1 foreign students on campus spea a out a senior psyc o ogy major from Butler Hall, Pericles Spyropoulos. Perry can well understand the apprehensions and problems of a foreign student. Arriving in New York from Platy, Calamaea, Greece five years ago, he was able to read English but could not speak the language. Concerning his arrival at the airport Perry said, "I didn't understand what people were saying to me, so I simply smiled and hoped for the best." He added that he has certainly received the besta college education, friends, and fun. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodoros Spyropoulos, Perry attended ·Anargyrios High School in Greece where he had the highest academic average for three years. He then came to America and was graduated from St. Paul's High School in Garden City, New York. "After six months," he said, "I had a little trouble with English." Incidentally, P erry has mastered the language, and has only a slightly detectable accent which adds to his charm. Studying at the College oh a scholarship under the auspices of the Anglo-American Hellenic Bureau of Education, Perry plans to study for his doctorate degree, then r eturn to Greece where he will teach and do research in psychology.

In announcing the proposed display, Jim Jones, president of the sophomore class, explained that the purpose of the display is to supplement the community celebration of the holiday which is held directly across the street on the River Common. This project is intended to be only the initial one of a continuing annual program which will be ext ended each year. Fran Corace, assisted by Michelene Wysocki, has succeeded in accumulating approximately 200 flags for the display. Homer warned, "Beware the Greeks bearing gifts." But those gifts which Perry has brought to the campus poise, ambition, friendship - and the gifts which he will take home - knowledge, foresight, maturity - are to be accepted and cherished.

Many of these buildings were the former homes of the fabled coal "barons" of the area. Other such buildings have come to the school either through gifts or outright purchases.

Bialogowicz Named New Chorus Director; Officers Elected College Offers Credit For Televised Course; To Begin in September A college credit television course for teachers entitled "The American Economy" will begin this September over WDAU (Ch. 22) . The importance of this course lies in the fact that it is the first of its nature for which the college will give undergraduate credits. Six credits will be granted for the 32-week period of t elevision presentations scheduled M o n d a y s through Fridays from 6 a.m. to 6 :30 a.m. with a follow-up session on Saturday mornings from 9 a .m. until 10 :30 a.m. at the college. The course session at the college will be taught by Mr. Welton Farrar. Dr. John R. Coleman, head of the Department of Economics at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, will be the national teacher. He will develop the content of the lessons, introduce guest speakers and panelists, and coordinate the course. The course is aimed primarily at high school teachers because an economics course will be required subject for all Pennsylvania high school students beginning in the Fall of 1963. Wilkes College is cooperating with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction in making available this course for college credit to assist high school teachers in developing the competence to improve the teaching of economics in their courses. This program has been obtained through the Learning Resources Institute in cooperation with the Columbia Broadcasting System. The fee is $100 for the 32-week course payable in $50 installments at the beginning of each semester.

Miss Rhone was one of the few selected from nearly 13,000 university women who submitted entries. For her entry Miss Rhone made the following pattern selections: Reed and Barton's "Silver Sculpture" sterling silver, Syracuse's "Wedding Ring" china, and Tiffin 's "Cara Mia" crystal. For her prizewinning entry, Miss Rhone will r eceive approximately $50 in sterling silver, fine china and crystal.

Offered To Rauscher and Sebolka The senior athletes who each year make their marks in small college sports often are lost in the maze of glamour that surrounds the fellows who participate in the major college events. But without backdrops of screaming crowds or accompanying fanfares of large-sized headlines and booming publicity, they do quite well for themselves and receive fair praise from the small bands of well-versed fans who keep abreast of results in the lesser-known competitions Eller Krisulevicz Friday, May ·25., .1962 Gavel Occasionally, though, a big hero will catapult from the unpublicized realm of small college sports to the public limelight. Last autumn, Jim Brunza, a ruggedly-built 210-pound Colonel tackle, was-for a while-one of the kings of the sports world. Jim had gained little All-American laurels for his fierce lineplay on an outstanding vote of the opposing coaches. Jim was praised throughout the East for his All-American rating, a fitting tribute to one of Wilkes' stellar performers. In addition to being a skilled gridman, he is a strong heavyweight wrestler, and last week garnered Beacon "Athlete of the Year" laurels. Hearty congratulations are in order this week to Lou Rauscher, sports editor of the Sunday Independent. Lou will meet his match in Scranton's Holy Cross Church, where he will wed Miss Marion Gower. The Beacon sports staff salutes the amiable sports editor as its "Athlete of the Week". * * * Mr. and Mrs. Theodore F.

Erwin Guetig, a junior, majoring in business adm.iriistration, was elected ,to preside ov.er the Lettermen's. Club in a meeting on Tuesday. A previous "Athlete of the Week", Erwin has participated famously in soccer, earning him honors and collegewide recognition. With his home town in Union, New Jersey, he has temporarily moved his residence to Butler Hall, where he previously filled the post of president. Elected vice-president was Jerry Mohn, a junior whose major is chemistry. Dick Morgan, a . sophomore E-z~glish major, will reign as secretary of the club. The treasurer's position will be filled by a junior commerce and finance major, John Adams. Pete Winebrake, a sophomore business administration major, and Brooke Yeager, a junior, majoring in secondary education, will act as the executive council for the lettermen. Elected to the publicity staff were Bob Smith, a junior secondary education major, and Dick Bender, who is a junior with biology as his major. Chuck Cherundolo, a junior, majoring in biology, will serve as sergeant-at-arms. The club also announced recently that this year's recipient of the Neil Dadurka Memorial Scholarship award is Robert Weston of Although Jim is a powerful performer, the real test of a team is its balance.

Instead of height the trio outfought and outplayed taller opponents with their driving spirit and aggressive play. The St. Louis Hawks of the NBA scouted Pugh and put the senior co-captain on their option list for next year's action. Aquilino Rick Rees, and Don Eller with Tom Krisulevicz and Paul Aquilino. Eller was named to the All-East squad twice during the past season for his play in the interior of the Wilkes line while Gavel got "Athlete of the Week" honors for his proficient tackle play. Rees, the shortest end in the conference, t eamed with linebacker Aquilino to make the right side of our defensive front line impregnable. Krisulevicz carried the offensive :burden of the team and s·p arkled with his defensive chores as safety man. John Miller, a thrilling performer whose sports uniform is a bathing suit, is the reigning king of divers at Wilkes and •p erhaps the best diver in the history of swimming as an intercollegiate sport at Wilkes. John is an engineering major who will transfer his studies, and highboard talent, to Penn State in the fall. Wrestling, although generally associated with the growling antics of the show business-minded ,professionals, has its serious side, too.

Bell_as, duffer captain, ha~ only suff~~ed one setback on the links durmg his four years of varsity competition, a record comparable to the record of pro golfing's finest performer, Arnold Palmer. Rich has sparkled on the greens with his "red-hot" putter and has developed into a strong driver under the watchful eye of Coach Farrar. Bud Menaker is considered the top courtman for the netters with a powerful serve and strong volley. Bud captained the tennis squad this season and acted as the backbone in the number one spot. The long -ball hitting of Paul Aquilino has been a strong point in the attack of the Colonel nine. "Acq" is a four-year veteran of the diamond wars and shows his playing maturity with his patroling of left field. Since many of the athletes listed have performed in an outstanding manner for four seasons with little or no recognition for their performances, the Beacon salutes the senior stalwarts for their skills and det ermination while r epresenting Wilkes on the athletic field and commends them for being a valuable asset to Wilkes. . . ·I /, ki- 41111 I · Tensa Roberts sport.

Marine Corps, Mr. Dadurka, rather than parachute from his disabled aircraft and possibly cause it to crash ·in a residential section in the Los Angeles area, stayed ·with: his . plane and guided it to a relatively desert ed location, where it crashed, causing his death. In the honor of this great man, Wilkes bestows the scholarship. The Lettermen's Club, which serves mainly as · a service organization, has been a · tribute to WHkes this past year. Probably the most outstanding event that the club has sponsored was the annual Christmas Formal, a success because of a record attendance. The April Showers Ball and the Cherry Tree Chop are two activities not to be slighted. The lettermen put fort}!, their best efforts to make the latter dances successful. In the final . days of October,' the lettermen held a raffle campaign, with first prize a pair of 'tickets for the world's most fa mous gridiron classic, the Army-Navy game. To make the iprize ~ven more popular, transportation was .included. This raffl e, an annual event at Wilkes, is one of the few opportunities the Lettermen's Club has of raising the .money necessary to support and continue their scholarship program: . Last week, the club sponsored its last • activity of the year, wlien "Shoe Shine Day" was held on campus. The purpose of this event was solely to raise money for the scholarship fund possessed by the organization. · · As in past years, the lettermen performed .many feats which -were gratifying and prosperous to both the .college and their own club, and I their prospects for admiration for 1 the coming sc~ool t er~ look g99d. �Friday, May 25, 1962 wn.KES COLLEGE BEACON Staff Sportswriter Reviews Statistics Looking over the records of the various athletic teams for the past year, it is evident that Wilkes College sports has generally experienced rather dismal camipaigns. However unimpressive the records may appear to some sports enthusiasts, we feel that the various players and t eams have had a most commendable season and proved themselves very worthy opponents, considering the caliber of our opponents and the ,p olicy of the college not to subsidize our athletes. Win and loss records never tell the entire story, only the final results. Hidden behind the final statistics are the loss contests decided by one run or a touchdown, or a scant foul shot. Again this past season, the football team experienced a losing campaign, posting a 2-7 record. Here again, the Colonels suffered from lack of p ersonnel and numerous injuries. The 2-7 record fails to show the true ability of the players. We believe that the footballers should be commended for their stellar defensive play and for their persistent, · ggressive spirit in the face of sometimes insurmountable odds. This past season also marked the end of the five-year regime of Francis Pinkowski as head grid coach. Recently-appointed head mentor Roland Schmidt has held a spring practice session with surprisingly profitable results, and is looking forward to a winning season next fall . The soccer squad finished the season with a 4-6 log and were 3-5 in MAC competition. Led by Clyde Roberts, Chuck Weiss, Frank Lepore, Erwin Guetig, and Ted Toluba, the hooters played spirited soccer, but were hampered by a lack of experience on the part of several players. Though not as proficient as former teams, this season's Colonel hooters were a tribute to Wilkes. Next on the list for review is the basketball team. Here we find a performance which may be deemed embarrassing to the college. The Colonel cagers finished the season with 2 wins and 17 losses. This pathetic performance is not indicative of the caliber of the players on the roster, for there were many fine ones, but it only accents the obvious lack of height on the team and a number of injuries to key players at inopportune times. In its first year of competition under Coach Ken Young, the swimming team splashed through the season without a victory. The swimmers showed no lack of ability, but suffered quite a bit from lack of experience. This can be eliminated only by meeting more opponents. The team hopes for a heavier schedule next year to enable the swimmers to gain the needed experience and put together a well-rounded team. After five years of domination of l\Iiddle Atlantic Conference wrestling, the Wilkes grapplers were dethroned by the Warriors of Lycoming College. Although the Colonels defeated Lycoming during th e season in a dual meet, they proved to be too powerful in the tournament. Coach Reese's wrestlers finished with a 4-4-2 slate. Although not compiling a winning record, the wrestlers were a tribute to Coach Reese and the college. The team lost a number of key men through graduation and academic shortcomings, but the replacements found by Reese to fill their glaring gaps were more than adequate. Though generally inexperienced, the team was never overpowered by any opponent. The baseball team finished with a 5-7 won-lost record and played aggressive ball throughout the campaign. Hampered by a lack of pitching depth, the Colonel diamondmen had a generally successful season. With a goodly number of players returning, the baseball team is hoping to contend for MAC title honors next season. The tennis team ended the season with a 2-4 ledger, which could have been reversed with a more fortunate set of circumstances regarding their contests. Three contests were rained out, and two of these would probably have proceded victory for Wilkes. With only one senior on the team, pros pects for next season are definitely bright. The _golf team recently completed another successful season with a victory over Albright College. The team placed thirteenth in the Middle Atlantic Tournament, and ended the season with a 6-2 chart. In closing may we express our thanks for many entertaining and often times, thrilling contests 1p erformed in the various sports areas by the numerous Colonel athletes.

Last Saturday the Warriors of ESSC downed the Colonels in their home finale, 9-4. In the first meeting of the two clubs the Warriors used two fourrun innings to mount its winning advantage. The visitors scored four runs in both the third and ninth innings. Doc Voshefski kept the locals in the game with two hits while Bruce Carroll went three-for-five for the winners who garnered 12 hits off the combined slants of Bob Gentile and Bob Fleming.

The last issue of the Beacon for the 1961-62 school year has been put to bed and there is nothing to do but sit back and reminisce on a year as sports editor. It seems like just last week that we put out the first issue, and twenty-seven issues later we have managed to place a sports section in each issue. Twenty-seven issues-that means lots of stories and lots of news ,t o cover. All of the intercollegiate sports w ere covered along with the intramural sports and a few fertures to cover a person that has played a major part in the athletic world at Wilkes College with little or no recognition for his endeavors. " Outstanding Cager of the '50's" and a Fifties Dream Team were chosen by the student body and honored at a special ceremony at a wrestling - basketball doubleheader. (One thing I still can't figure out is how Dean Ralston managed to steal his way into all of the Dream Team pictures. I had everything planned so I could be in the photos but the agile Dean of Men always beat me to ~he flashbub . Oh well_ as the Wilkes sport saying goes, you can't wm them all.) Twenty-seven issues of sports coverage means lots of work among a balanced staff and the Beacon is proud of the efficiency of our small, but closely knit, staff. Jim Jackiewicz, who takes over the reins as head mentor of the sports page next year, was a constant Tuesday night seven-to-two companion. I only hope Jim gets an assistant next year who will render as much aid to him as he did to me this year. Dale Jones and Barry Bryant gave good coverage to all their assignments and responded with top stories. Feature stories by Barbara Lore and Kathy Thomas added the female appeal to the page. Kathy and Earlene Jones played a steady tune on the typewriter keys to •k eep output at a fast pace. Jerry Shilanski and Don Hancock proved invaluable for their great photographic work. Our honorable editor-in-chief, Wayne Thomas, was a great help with emergency page make-up at the printers and, in s•p ite of his lack of allegiance to Jerry Krasa's Phillies did a very good job in keeping the sport page in balance. (That m·eans half sports and half ads.) "Pop" Schmidt and sons Ed and Leo were invaluable with their helrpful hints. If it wasn't for Ed I doubt if I would have ever learned to spell Bill Meneely, or is it Meneeley. Not enough praise can be heaped upon the Public Relations Office where "Pop" Clewell and Barbara Fritz were always ready to lend a helping hand, or to .Sports Pub 1 i city Director Arthur Hoover, assistant professor of business administration, who worked hand in hand with the Beacon s;ports staff to get top coverage of all the athletics. Local sports editors, Bob Patton of the Record, Jim Lee of Times-Leader, and Lou Rauscher and Tom Heffernan Jr. of the Sunda,y Independent, co-operated in all the endeavors and showed the spirit of good athletics prompting good citizens. The coaches, managers, and athletes have all been very helpful in getting the back-of-field angle on many of our stories. Rick Rees was top football ex,pert for the staff but wanted his picture in the paper every week as a reward. Frank Lepore of soccer, Tom Pugh of basketball, Brooke Yeager of Wrestling, Jack Barnes of swimming Rich Bellas of golf, Bud Menaker of tennis, and Matt Himlin of baseball all added the personal, locker room air to the stories with their remarks. Not to be forgotten in credit lines is Lee Rohlfs, a secretary with a magic touch of good work, who handled the tallying of the Dream Team voting. Twenty-seven issues lot of work by lots of people some connect ed directly with the Beacon and others as remote as one could imagine. To all of the peo,p le named above and all of the others who have helped make the Beacon sports page into a well-balanced news media, I can only humbly say "thank you for a job well don e." - G.J.T.

How she ever won this epithet remains somewhat cloudy and it brings a blush to Nancy's face whenever she is referred to as the "Breakfast at Tifany's" girl. This nickname may be due to Nancy's sprightliness, grace, and beauty. Modest as she is about these qualities, the students on campus must recognize them, for she was nominated as a Cinderella candidate. A further sign of deeper recognition is the diamond on Nancy's lef.t hand. Her fiance, Mike Armstrong, class of '61 is currently in Naval jet pilot training, Meridan, Mississippi. He attended pre-flight training in Pensacola, F I o r i d a . Mike joined the Navy in July, 1961 and will be in for five years. He was a business administration major at Wilkes and a member of the wrestling team for four years. Mike and N a n c y plan to be married in August. They will live in Texas for several months. When asked for her reactions about being a Navy wife, Nancy replied, "He loves it, be has always wanted to be a pilot. He might make a career of it." It is obvious that whatever Mike wants is fine with Nancy. She would rather talk about him than herself. Nancy is really interested in her art work (so is Mike). Even with her major career of wife and homemaker, her future spouse will encourage Nancy's continued study. During her four y e a r s here, Nancy has studied under four different art teachers. In her freshman year, all of her art courses were taught by Mr. Chester Colson, now head of the Art Department. She studied under Mr. C at ha I O'Toole in her sophomore year, Mr. Andrew Palencar in h e r junior year, and Mr. Kent Kirby this year. She said, "I consider this to be an advantage since the philosophy of one particular teacher has never ,b een predominate. We h av e received the best of all four."
