TAKE PEN IN HAND by Jack Hardie and Olsen Schroeder The recent news that the National Defense Education Act is up for renewal should be of interest to many of us, since nearly 500 members of our student body are now benefitting from the National Defense student loans. Needless to say, the advantages of the NDEA - low interest rates and long-term repayment period -would be difficult to find elsewhere. And discontiuance of this government assistance would "throw a kink" into mariy stud·e nts' well-laid plans. We all know this just as we all realize the importance of the Act. Let's let our Senators know that we are alert and intereste.d in the outcome of the extension proposal. Take your p~n in hand right now and urge your Representative to support the retention of the NDEA as part of HR 4955 when it comes up shortly for Senate floor action. THE HEAT'S In the cafeteria the other day we chanced to overhear our two Sophomore friends discussing faeries and brownies and, because we have interest in W.B. Yeats too, we thought we would join the conversation. 'Yes,' we interrupted, 'Irish folk-lore was one of the formulating influences on Yeats' poetic imagination; of course you must remember that . 'W.B. Yeats?' asked Miss Dover. ON No longer can minors caught in establishments serving liquor skip blithely through the raid, the subpoena, and the hearing itself with no scars and perhaps even a check for testifying against the owners. For the State Liquor Control Board has finally taken the "fun" out of fooling cafe owners - with a "crack down" on minors and a tightening of the state laws. A recent change in the statutes makes the minor in such a situation responsible for his own conduct and liable to as much as a $ I 00 fine and several days imprisonment.

IS IT WORTH IT? Dear Apathetic Onlookers (Creeps): * * * The men of BUTLER HALL, to TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS THREE Since each of us is aware that enrollment at our coUege is steadily increasing, we are apt tq _presume that the impact created by student movements would also increase in the same proportion. This, however, is generally not the case, and to substantiate my statement, I would like to compare the student conducted United Fund Campaign results for the past three years. In 1960, the total amount contributed was $1,148; in 1961, it dropped to $1,090, and finally, last year, we reached our lowest total of $736. These facts definately show a lack of interest on the part of the students in their campaign, for if each student had contributed his $1.00, the increased enrollment would have been evident in an increas'f~ of total contributions. Our problem, as it exists, can be remedied, and this remedy can be administered immediately. The procedure would be a simple one, · and would merely involve the effort on the part of each student to contact his class representatives, and make his individual contribution. Once this has been accomplished, this year's campaign totals will begin a new trend in the right direction.

From the brief description of the study, the conclusions made can be stretched one more notch. Can one obtain a fair trial under the conditions set forth? This is a very difficult matter to decide, for how does one go about eliminating the prejudice factor? Perhaps it is the quality and administration of our juries that needs overhauling, not the system itself. With si, many categories of persons excludd from jury duty, it becomes extremely difficult if not impossible to obtain the cross-sectionalism so vital in a fair trial by one's peers.

Comstock rolled up 170 yards on 21 carries for an 8.1 yard per carry average, which earned him the "ECAC Outstanding Back" award and also the BEACON "Athlete of the Week" award. PMC capitalized on a Wilkes fumble to draw first blood in the game. In the second period, with four minutes remaining, the Colonels rebounded on drives by Comstock and Don Brominski drove into paydirt from the one. The score at the half was a 6-6 tie, as Ed Brominski's PAT attempt was wide. After a scoreless third period, Frank Wallace returned a punt to the Wilkes 48. On the next play, Comstock carried the pigskin on a 52 yard touchdown jaunt through the midle of the PMC defense. Wallace missed the PAT. The Cadets, fired up by a Homecoming crowd, roared back with a drive that covered 62 yards in 9 plays and resulted in another PMC score. Bob Heiser iced the game by booting the PAT, but just for insurance the Cadets trapped Frank Wallace back to punt and added two points to their total. At Ursinus Tomorrow Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels meet the Bears of Ursinus in a game at Collegeville, Pa. Last season the Wilkes team displayed a tremendous effort on two goal line stands to turn back the Bears 12-6. Last year the Bears were lucky to score even once against the Colonels with all the breaks going their way. U rsinus had the ball twice in succession inside the five yard line and failed to score on the teriffic defensive effort of the Wilkes line. Coach Richard Whatley, in his 4th year at Ursinus, has 13 returning lettermen. Included among these veterans is senior quarterback Ron Emmert, who scored the only Ursinus touchdown last year. The game will get under way at 2 p.m. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Chuck Robbins Sporting Goods Pat Davis Sparks Hockey Team In Moravian Win by Lillian Bodzio As a result of quick thinking on the part of freshman Pat Davis, the Girl's hockey team recently scored a 4-3 victory over a tough Moravian squad.

Pass defense was the key to the Barre victory. Barre scored 3 touchdowns on interceptions. Evans scored three times for Barre, while Dunn, Witt, and Douglas added one apiece. George played a good game for Miner, scoring two touchdowns. The Independent League showed two strong teams this week as the Macedonians and Rummys played to a 7-7 tie. Both teams posed a scoring threat throughout the game, but the defenses rose to the occasion. The Rummys scored first on a long pass from McAndrew to Zabonski, with Mc Andrew adding the PAT. The Macedonians came back to immediately tie the score on a pass to Himlin. The extra point by Jim Vindunis was disputed. Ray Sorokanich and Harry Vogt led the Rummys' defense.

With the season half com pleted, the Wilkes College soccer team brought its log to 1-4-1, but the Ferrismen feel they can improve on this record during the second half of the schedule. The Colonel boaters dropped a 1-0 squeaker to Stevens last Wednesday but bounced back on Saturday to battle the Madison campus team of Farleigh-Dickinson to a scoreless tie. The contest with Stevens indicated, as in previous tilts, that a scoring threat is definitely lacking in the offensive team. The one-point edge was all that Stevens needed to clinch the contest, as the Colonels absorbed their third shutout in four games. The defense, as in all previous games, was the mainstay of the team, as they time after time stopped the charging Stevens' offensive unit. Undaunted by the inabil ity of the offense to score, the Colonel defenders never ceased to perform admirably. In the game with Madison, the Wilkes defensive unit sparkled as they shut out their opponents. The Colonel offensive team,. however, was similarly blanked, and at the end of regulation play, a scoreless tie prevailed. Two five-minute overtime periods were played, but neither team was able to score in the contest at the New Jersey college. Outstanding defensive play by left fullback Larry Gubanich and halfback Dick Bucko, while the offense was led by the fine play of Dick Morgan and Walt Prusakowski. The boaters will play two games at home this week, meeting Muhlenburg Wednesday afternoon and challengin g Hofstra tomorrow morning.

Vol. XXV/11, No. 6 Miss Cail Roberts To Reign As 1963 Homecoming Queen Princesses Complete Queen's Court P14ttceJJ Jc,-nritte Miss Lorraine Dyers, a blonde French major from Kingston, has been nominated Princess of Homecoming Weekend. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Dyers, Princess Lorraine hopes to work abroad this summer. Her other plans for the future include teaching languages, doing graduate work, getting ma rried, and raising tri-lingual children. Charm, personality, and ambition clearly are person ified in Princess Barbara, a hazel-eyed, brunette beauty who hails from Plymouth. Daughter of Mrs. Donald Lore, Barbara is a seni or English major who has narrowed her future plans to two alternatives. The first of these is graduate work here in the states. Her second choice includes a program of simultaneous teaching and studying abroad. The Princess has dreamed of traveling to Europe for many years, but she hasn't expected her desi re to pass the fairy-tale stage. However, next summer, Barbara's dream may convert into reality for she and a few classmates are considering overseas employment for the warm months following graduation. During past summer seasons Barbara has worked in the Bell Telephone Company Sales Office - a job which has given "Barb" a chance to utilize her secretarial skills. Presently Princess Barbara is editorin-chief of the Beacon. For two years she served on the staff as a news and feature reporter, and last year she gained the position of feature editor. Even though the Beacon occupies most of Barbara's time, she still manages to act as associate editor of the Manuscript and to represent her class on the Executive Council. AWS and the Education Club also have claimed the young woman as a member. Barbara disproves any concept about the separation of beauty and brains. The lovely Princess has merited a place on the Dean's List every semester of h~r ·college career. She also was a fouryeil.r honor student during her high school days at Plymouth. There Barbara began to develop her journalistic instincts. She served as editor-in-chief of The Shawnee Arrow, Plymouth High School's newspaper, and also acted as correspondent to the Sunday Independent. During her freshman year she was class vice-president and an elected member of "Who's Who Among High Schools." These college prep days also (Continued on Page 6) Along with her Spanish and educati on minors, Princess Lorraine has been a cheerl eader for the past three years, and has acted as capta in in her junior and senior years. She has been secretary of her class and pres ident of th e W omen's Activiti es Association in her junior and senior years. Princess Lorra ine has been active in TDR for four yea rs and was elected to the position of treasurer in her seni or year. She was a member of Student Government Court of Appeals in her junior year and was on the Parents' Day Planning Committee. She is presently an active member of the Ski Club, French Club, Spanish Club, and the basketball team. She was also on the dean's list in the spring of 1963. Lorraine lists, among her other interests, folk music, chess, horseback riding, snow and water skiing, and traveli ng. She also plays the gui tar. Last summer, Princess Lorraine worked as a waitress in Yellowstone Nati onal Park in W yoming. She traveled to California and spent a week in Los Angeles. In previous summers, Lorrai ne worked in the Poconos as a wa itress. She has also been a camp cou nselor and a salesclerk. Presently, she works in Chase Hall, typing and filin g. During her high school years in Kingston, Princess Lorrai ne was a cheerl eader, editor of the "Kingsto ni an", class secretary, and a member of the hockey team. She has also received the D.A.R. Citizenship Award and the Edward R. Janji gan Memorial Sportsmansh ip Award. Princess Lorraine will be escorted by Alan Gubanich, president of the senior class. Queen Gail and Court face Busy Schedule by Lois Petroski Lovely Gai l Roberts will reign as "Miss Homecom ing Queen of 1963." Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Ellis Roberts, Queen Gail has been an acti ve member of Student Government and its committees for the past three years. The honey- hued beauty has also been co-cap tain of the cheerleaders, and an active member of TDR. A graduate of E. L. Meyers High School, Queen Gail has also displayed her varied talents during the formative years. At Meyers, she was ed itor of the £Imprint, President of Student Government, and a cheerleader. In addition to these activities, she distinguished herself by bei ng admitted to the honor society. During her four years at the College, Queen Gail was secretary of W AA for two years, and a member of the Fall Parent's Day Planning Committee during the present semester. Queen Gail is by no means unaccustomed to the idea of assuming a regal role, for last year, she was bestowed the honor of bei ng crowned Snowfl ake Princess at the Winter Carnival. Perhaps the most recent of her end eavors on campus was the work which Gail did on the honor code committee durin g the last semester. Queen Ga il spent seven weeks of the past summer in Europe where she studi ed and visited various points of interest. Belgi um, Bonn, and Switzerland were only a few of the places she visited while on tour. In the future, Queen Ga il plans to enter the fi eld of teaching or social work. Her actual teaching experience wi ll begin next semester, when Miss Roberts does her stud ent teaching. Presentl y, however, Queen Gail will have little d ifficulty in planning the futur e as far as the current weekend goes, for along with her court, she will rema in the center of attraction for the entire weekend. Activities Begin T oday An ant icipated 500 men and women graduates will return to the campus today to commence observa nce of the Sixteenth Annual Homecoming. The committee, which has Mr. Donald McFadden acting as alumni chairman and Lou Coopey as undergraduate cha irman, meti culously has pjanned a full schedule of events whid-i should provide enj oyment and fond memories for both alumni members and undergraduates. This past week the dormitories and various ca mpus societi es have spent many hours constructing di splays which fully project the desi re in the hearts of all those treading the campus this weekend-"Beat Drexel!" The groups responsi ble for the displays deemed best by a judicial committee of three to five alumni members, will receive trophies at ceremonies during the half-time of Saturday's football ga me. The judges will consider four categories: men's dorm itories, women's dormHories, club di splays, and over- all ori ginality. The judicial tour wi ll begin at 7 p.m. Simultaneously at 7 p.m., students will fo rm a car caravan at Butler Hall. Rid ing atop convertibl es, Queen Gail and Princesses Lorraine and Barbara wi ll lead the parade. The whole cheerin g caravan will be police-escorted up South River and Market Streets, around Public Square, and finally over the Market Street Bridge to N esbitt Park, the site of the pep rail. Here, the Cheerleaders, Majorettes, and Kickline will perform. Coaches Ferris and Schmidt will introduce the soccer and football teams. Students will celebrate the highlight of the rally - destruction of Hofstra and Drexel in effigy. TDR Sport Dance Immediately following the pep rally the car caravan will journey to the gymnasium where TDR will sponsor an undergraduate sport dance. In susta ining the festive spirit of the weekend, the Rhythm Aces will provide musical sounds amid colorful decorations. While students are dancing in the gymnasi um, graduates will be gathering at their first official reunion of the weekend at the Host Motel. Comradeship and reminisci ng will dominate this Warm-up Party which begi ns at 9 p.m. For alumn i and students alike, Saturday's events wi ll commence at 10 a.m., when Wilkes meets Hofstra in a soccer game at the athletic field. At 12:45, elaborately decorated cars wi ll form a parade line at Butler Hall. Anyone desiring to participate is invited to enter his car in the parade formation. Transportation for those lacking automobiles also will be available. The alumni judging committee will select th e best-decorated car. Royalty On Parade Once again the royal Homecoming court will be guests of honor in the parade which will extend the route of the previous evening to include North Main, Union, and North River Streets, then lastly the Market Street Bridge. This time the destiny will be the athletic field . Here, traffic directors donning arm bands will be available to park the cars from the caravan. Students will proceed to a section of the bleachers which will be roped off for them. With military escorts, Queen Gail and Princesses Lorraine and Barbara will cross the field to participate in the pre-game ceremonies. The alumni will be formally welcomed and Queen Gail will be officially crowned. She and her princesses will receive gifts from Student Government, the Beacon, and alumni. Kick-off time between the Colonels and the Dragons is set for 2 p.m. Halftime ceremonies will include performances by the Kickline and Majorettes to the accompaniment of the College Band, the awarding of trophies for the campus displays, an award for the winning car, and the Lettermen's raffle. A new practice of singing the Alma Mater before the second-half kick-off will be introduced. Two Dinner Dances The evening agenda includes two dinner dances. That of the alumni will be held at the Dorian Room of the Host Motel. Dinner is slated for 6 p.m., and dancing is scheduled for 9 p.m. The College gymnasium will be the scene of the undergraduate dinner dance of which John Campbell is chairman. From 7 to 9 p.m., a dinner featuring roast beef, Italian and Swedish meat balls, and Hawaiian pork will be served. Bobby Baird and his band- will furni sh music for dancing until 12 p.m. This hour will mark the termination of the dinner dance and of all scheduled events of the Homecoming Weekend. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday , October 25 , 1963 LETTER TD EDITOR Men of Butler H all : in reply to your letter to the Beacon Editors of last week, we can only say this (would that it were more): ROADS ALL LEAD TO WILKES HOMECOMING EDITORIALS WILKES REVISITED Th e "homecoming" experience can be a disconcerting one for both alumni and undergraduate - one finding himself a little perturbed at occupation of "his room", "his table in the caf", "his nook in the library" by some young upstarts who can't really appreciate them , and the other a little disturbed at the commotion caused by those funny , sentimental "old timers" in racoon coats disrupting their routine . But seriously speaking, this little jolt out of the routine is a healthy experience for all. Th e alumnus comes away from revisiting the "s pawning ground" of many of his hopes and ideals with renewed vigor and determination while the undergrad, cuddled in the warm security of that special college world, peers out at the "real world" he will soon be thrust upon. Lest we underestimate the importance of this contact between generations, we must realize that the alumni are the roots of our school - the unsee n, often-neglected providers of nourishment for the blosso ming tree. Without them the tree cannot flourish . Alumni returning to campus this year will find signs of the continuing progress on campus - the new extension of the Science Building, the new W eckesser Hall dorm and the largest student body in the history of the school. They can take justified pride in their part of these accomplishments and relax and enjoy themselves this weekend. THE BALLOT BOX After disposing of the American Jury prob lem in last week's colu mn, we will now approach the second major problem in civi l litigation facing the American Judic ial System - delay. Should you be unfortunate enough to be pressing a case in Chicago's Cook County, your case will in all probability be delayed for more than FIVE AND ONE-HALF YEARS! These statistics are among several revealed recently in the 11 th annual survey of the status of 108 state court calendars, conducted by the Institute of Judi cial Administration located in New York. According to the most recent survey, it takes an average of 18.7 months for a personal injury case to reach jury tri al from the date on which a written answer to a complaint is filed with the plaintiff's attorney. Considering other factors in the 108court survey, 23 courts reported delays of more th an 30 months, with the degree of calendar congestion generally NHU? WHAT'S paralleling the population figures. Th e stir caused by the glamorous Madame Nhu's visit to the Some of the worst courts in this reUnited States is entirely out of proportion to either her or her spect, in addition to the Cook County Court, two of our own Pen nsylvania country's significance . Obviously this petite " Oriental Audrey Hepburn" is not unaware of the importance of advertising and public relations because she has taken full advantage of the "raves" she has received for her " road show." Th e newspapers and other communication media have not had such a " natural'' since Liz Taylor and Burton and have all jumped on the bandwagon. Th e American people, as gullible and as celebrity-hungry as ever, have swarmed to see her, according her receptions from the ovation at Fordham to the egg-throwing at Columbia - neither one says much for the intelligence and maturity of the average college student. A reassessment is in order. W e must unfortunately strip Madame Nhu of some of her glamour. W e must separate the creature created by press, radio, and TV from the real 38 -year old sisterin-law of the pres ident of a small, troublesome country and then react accordingly. Above all let's not take her too seriously. The thi ngs she says are not always that important - she just has a goo d press. • At Misericordia (a ll women) and at King's (all men, in case you didn't know), the average donation per student to the United Fund is one dollar.

Thomas H. Kiley, president, First National Bank; and Frank W. Anderson, president, Miners National Ba!lk, are the new trustees. Attorney Shaffer Focus, the Wilkes College radio program, wi ll resume broadcasting for its third consecutive year on Sunday at 11 p.m. on WARM. Under the direction of Livingston Clewell, creator and producer of the program, plans for a broader scope of topics are now being organized. The moderators of the program are George Ralston, Dean of Men, and Arthur Hoover, Assistant Dean. They select topics of national current interest which are weighed by the panel members prior to the broadcast. When the discussions take place, the students sta te their controversies before making final ana lyses or conclusions. In this manner the listeners are given an opportunity to establish a solid viewpoint on the situations being covered. .; This year, there are three panels consisting of four members each. Panel one includes Cathy De Angelis, Harry Wilson, John Campbell, and Alan Krieger; panel two includes James Hansen, Joyce Cavallini, Douglas Bennington, and Steve VanDyke; panel three includes Barbara Gallagher, Bill Carver, Joe Klaips, and John Lore. Attorney Louis Shaffer, who succeeds the late Senator Andrew J. Sordoni to the vice chairmanship, is a graduate of Coughlin High School, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, and New York University Law School. He is president, Luzerne County Bar Association; president, Committee of 100, Incorporated; senior vice president, Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; chairman, Board of Trustees, Temple Israel of Wilkes-Barre; acting chairman, Wyoming Valley Committee of Pennsylvania Economy League; Life Director of Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley; and a director in the following organizations: Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley, Property Owners Protective Association, Miners National Bank of Wilkes-Barre, Wilkes-Barre Rotary Club, and Industrial Loan Corporation of Wilkes-Barre.

Everybody who is somebody, and even us poor clods who aren't, make it a point to be at the Snack Bar by three o'clock in order to get a good seat for the 'hootenanny.' The idea of the Friday afternoon hootenanny was orginated by the Student Government. There are two reasons for these hootenannies; first, the great interest shown in folk music, and secondly, to publicize the Snack Bar. Jody Morrison, who is secretary of her class and editor of the Student Government N ews Letter, has been appointed ch airman of the "Friday Afternoon Hootenanny." Every week song sheets are typed up for this gala event to acquaint those in attendance with new and old folk songs. In the two hours, from three to five, the group sings approximately forty songs. This means that in the thirty-five hootenannies of the year, they will sing nearly 1,400 folk songs. And this means there will be a couple hundred cases of laryngitis on the campus before June. So everybody get their gargle out and start hooten. Jody and Singer The leadership of the hootenanny last Friday consi sted of one guitar and two singers. Well, one Singer but two singers - one guitar. One of the singers was Barry Singer; the other was Jody Morrison. comes from New York City and li ved only ten miles from "the Village." It was in Greenwich Village that her love for fo lk singing was born. Jody says, "I love all folk songs but my preference is for lesser known groups with lesser known songs whi ch are closer to the people." Scotch and Soda Jody led the group in many popular fo lk songs, such as: "Five Hundred Miles," "Lonesome Travler," "Oh Mary," "The Hammer Song," "Blowing in the Wind," "Scotch and Soda," and many others. Then Barry took command of the "hootenannyers." Barry's home is in Drums, Pa. Transferring from the University of Scranton, he came to Wilkes this year as a junior political science major. He is staying at Warner Hall. Barry is a very dedicated fan of folk songs who has "always been interested in folk singing." "Gunfight at O.K. Corral," which he sang Friday, is one of the songs that he wrote himself. Another product of Barry's talent is "The Search." This is his latest song. Barry's favorite folk so ng is "Far Side of the Hill." Other songs that he sang were: "The Everglades," "This Land is My Land," Jody Morrison Strums "M.T.A.," "Ain't It Hard?," "Bad Jody, who launched the hootenanny, Man's Blunder," and many more. He is a junior English major who hangs also made a desperate attempt to teach her guitar in W eckesser Hall. Jody everybody the words to "Pretty Gi rl .'' The question of Constitutional revision will be debated in next week's assem bly. Sponsored by the Inter-Collegiate Conference on Government, the debate wi ll feature two prom inent va lley res idents, Attorney Stanley Brockman and Attorney Reynold Kosek. Arguing in favor of revision of the constitut ion by amendment wi ll be Attorney Kosek, Wilkes-Barre city solicitor. Attorney Brockman, secretary of the Luzerne County chapter of the committee for constitutiona l revision, will oppose Kosek and speak in favor of revision of the constitution by convention. Those who favor revision by amendment feel that the needed improveml)nts could be made on an individual basis and that the ori gina l document should be rEtained. The advocates of a convention accuse the present constitution of having too many weak and outdated parts; they argue that amendments to individua l sections would be ineffectual and would make the constitution a greater "bramble patch". However, both sides are working on the basic assumption that the Pennsylvania constitution has many poor sections and should be improved. Miss Alis Pucilowski, a junior English major, will introduce the speakers and give a brief resume of each attorney's achievements. I.C.G.'s program chairman, Gai l Roberts, has announced that the debate will be moderated by Richard Shemo, a senior politica l science major. Carol Meneguzzo, vice-chairman of I.C.G., will be in charge of the technical aspects of th e debate. On Tuesday, November 5, the voters of Penna. wil l have the opportunity to call a convention, since a proposition to that effect wi ll appear on the ballot. Advertisers Hold Conference by Mi Mi Wilson "Advertising - Your Image Builder" was the theme of the thirteenth an nual Advertis ing Conference and Clinic under the sponsorship of the Advertising Club of Wilkes-Barre held here Saturday. In attend/l11ce were representatives of adverti sing agencies, newspapers, broadcasting companies, public relations agencies, and retailers from the Wyoming Valley area as well as from Rochester, Harrisburg, Pottsville, Allentown, Hazleton, Scranton, and Philadelphia. Frank Bozek, president of the WilkesBarre Ad Club began the morning session with a word of welcome followed by rerparks from Lee Vincent, conference chairman. Dr. Francis Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, welcomed those in attendance. In the morning sessions the conference delegates were add ressed by Maxwell Fox, Director of Public Relations of the Advertising Council of America, by Miss Elizabeth Strauss, General Secretary of the Advertising Council of West Germany (Akt ion Gemeinsinn) and by Wilbur G. Kurtz, Special Promotion Director of the Coca Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia. Miss Strauss told the conference delegates that the German people do not understand "gemeinsinn" which translated into English means "community spirit" and pointed out that the primary objective of the German Advertising Council is to build an image of "gemeinsinn" in the public's mind. It is most interesting to note that the Germans use a negative approach. For example, posters will read "I don't help old people cross the street. I don't wo rk without pay." Miss Strauss believes that "community spir it" is poorly understood because of Germany's political history, but she feels that under the present democratic form of government in West Germany, this concept of "community spirit" can be propagated in the minds of the people. Public Service Mayor Frank Slattery presented the key of the city to Miss Strauss at luncheon in the Commons. Congressman Dan Flood, luncheon speaker, was introduced by Larry Greenspan luncheon chairman. On the afternoon agenda was Dolf Drage, Director of the Vietnamese Service with the United States Informat ion Agency, Washington, D.C. who spoke on " Image Building Around the World." Mr. Drage claims "performance builds the image" and if you don 't intend to perform just fo rget about the image. He poi nted out that one of the major barriers to communication with people overseas is a cultural one. The Vietnamese view on education is quite enlightening: "If you plan for five years, plant rice; if you plan for ten years, plant a tree; if you plan for one hundred years, educate men." James Adshead, Department of Public Relations, E. I. DuPont De Nemours & Co., Inc., spoke to the assemblage on "Better Image Through Better Advertising." He outlined severa l of DuPont's major campaigns with stress on their campa ign to " infuse fiber with glamour." The closing speaker of the conference was Martin Jaffe, vice president and design director of Robert Zeidman Associates who spoke on "Building the Corporate Image in Terms of a Corporate Id entity." The conference was followed by a cocktail party at Hotel Sterling. In hi s speech "Creating National Interest Campaigns" Mr. Fox discussed t he public service campaigns of the Aavertising Council which include such familia r promotions as College Is America's Best Friend, Support the College of Your Choice; Give the Uni ted Way; Keep Freedom in their Future .. . With U.S. Savings Bonds; Every Litter Bit Hurts and many others. BLOOD DAY TURNOUT GRJ\ TIFYING, SJ\ YS RALSTON by Harry Russin A total of 205 students and faculty members participated in Blood Donor Day; of this number 33 were deferred for some physical reason. The American Red Cross collected a tota l of 172 pints of blood, 35 pints more than were collected last year. Dean Ralston was gratified by the increase and was grateful to those who donated their blood. He also praised the Circle K Club for their enthusiasm, which aroused greater interest and participati on than ever before. A number of students who could not find time last Friday wi ll give blood later, on an individual basis. This will bring the grand total to 200 pints of blood or more. Wilbur G. Kurtz gave an informative history of the Coca Cola Company and noted how various slogans such as "thirst knows no season" and "the pause that refreshes" as we ll as the coke bottle which is a trademark of the company have contributed to building the image of the Coca Cola Company.

The minor league pro game was played in the mountain city to test interest, with the possibility of the Broncos establishing permanent residence there.

The former Kingston ace exhibited a stellar performance as he displayed a brillant example of determination and rugged line play. The Bear's offensive hopes were repeatedly stifled as they tried to penetrate an almost impregnable staunch forward wall throughout the game. Led by MacLaughlin the Colonel line succeeded in breaking up Ursinus' plays before they could become a serious threat. Roger also contributed his efforts to the contest in the third period after Paul Purta scored the second Colonel tally. A pass from T ed Travis Bey to MacLauchlin for the PAT was good, to make the score 14-8 with the Colonels out in front.

The Ferrismen have been improving with every game, and it is hoped that the Homecoming atmosphere will provide the extra incentive necessary for the soccer team to dump the strong Hempstead, New York hooters. Last year, Hofstra overpowered the Colonels 4-1, enroute to a fourth place berth in the N orthern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Their 8-3-1 record this year has been bettered only by Elizabethtown, the conference champion, but the Dutchmen were able to log only a 4-2-1 record in conference play. Two open dates in the schedule last week were put to good use as Coach Ferris held practice sessions every night in preparation for tomorrow's game. The Colonels have been finding it difficu lt to mount an offensive threat, so th e defense has been forced to shoulder the brunt of the responsib il ity of keeping the team in th e game. It· is hoped that the superb play of the defense, led by Lou Szabados, Larry Gubanich, a nd D ick Bucko, plus an offense featuring the excellent passing of Dick Morgan, Walt Prusakowski, and Al Gilbert, can overcome the Hofstra scoring machine. Following tomorrow's contest, the hooters will have three games left to nlay in the current schedule, meeting Susquehanna, Wagner and Elizabethtown. Elizabethtown is the defending charm pion. The Colonel gridders gained their initial victory of the season against 3 losses, by downing the Ursinus Bears 28-8 at Collegeville last weekend. Coach Schmidt stayed with his devastating ground attack as fulback Gary Popovich and halfback Paul Purta accounted for all four of Wilkes' touchdowns. Popovich ran for one PAT, whi le Roger MacLaughlin gathered in a pass from scat-back Ted Travis-Bey for another two point conversion. Wi lkes has been extremely strong in their running game t his season, and last week's game was no exception as the Colonels rolled up 247 yards to Ursinus' 136. A fact worthy of mention is the Bears' ability to gain only 2 yards rushing in the second half. Purta led the Colonel ground game with 81 yards on 14 carr ies, gaining the tribute of his team mates by being voted Stagg Medallion winner. Purta averaged 5.8 vards per carry. John Gardner gained 66 yards on 13 carries for an even 5 yard average, while workhorse Popovich was held to a 2.3 average. Popovich, however, cracked , the Ursinus defense for two touchdowns and a two point conversion run. End Roger MacLauchlin starred on defense for the Colonels. His name was like an echo all afternoon. Wilkes drew blood the first time they got the ball marching 57 yards and climaxing the drive on Purta's JS yard sprint up the midd le. The PAT attempt was wide. When Ursinus recovered a Wi lkes fumble, converted the miscue to a score, and added a 2 point conversion, it looked like the Colonels' hard luck jinx was returning. With Ursinus leading 8-6 at the 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 half, Wi lkes came right back in the final two periods to score three times, icing th e victory when Popovich scored from the 3 after Rich Verhanovitz recovered an Ursinus fumble. Wilkes lost to Drexel 14-12 last season on a two point conversion and will be out to avenge that decision. The Dragons will not be an easy foe to vanquish, however, as the experts see Drexel as the Southern Division Champions of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Last season, though, the Dragons were co-champs with Western Maryland. You may draw your own conclusions. On the other hand, Wilkes' record is no indication of the team's potential. All of the defeats suffered by the Colonels were hard fought, close games, and in at least two, Wilkes won the battle Coaches Plan Strategy The Wi lkes coaching staff, led by of statistics. head m entor Rollie Schmidt, are picCoach Tom Grebis, who is in his tured above.

Farleigh Dickinson Univ ersity is situated in three areas of N ew Jersey, i.e., three co- equal campuses in T eaneck, Rutherford and Madison . Until a few years ago, T eaneck and Rutherford , which are just a few miles apart have operated jointly, a full ten (10) sport intercollegiate program under the expected des ignation, " Fairleigh Dickinson Univ ersity." When the Madison campus was initiated in 1958, in order for the students at Madison to participate in this intercollegiate program required travelin g some 35 to 40 miles. This early attempt, I'm sure you can understand, created many hazards and was difficult to say the least. Four years a go, therefore, the Board of Trustees of the Univ ersity, in order to provide equal opportunity of participation without undue hardsh ip, decilied to establish a co mpletely separate second intercollegiate program for its students at Madison. A second intercollegiate program at Madison, so lved the time and distance problem but, as you might expect created difficult public relations problem as the result. This second program of Madison has worked out well and is here to stay. H owever, for the purpose of scheduling and press, radio and television contacts the following formula I hope w ill be meaning{ ul.

Comments on the United States from Teutupe Vaita of Fagatogo, American Samoa are as follows: "I think America is fine and a very industrious nation in the world. Compared to my country, America is such a very big place; the population is far greater than that of my island. The thing that amazes me is that people rush and so do cars. I wonder, 'Why the rush?" "Samoans are very happy, cheerful, loving people. They don't take life seri- ously. They believe in this saying, 'Let tomorrow worry for itself.' Unfortunately Samoa does not have colleges, or I wouldn't be here. Students in America have the advantage of having anything they want concerning education. In my island it's very hard to get all the things you want since it's a very small place." "I think Wilkes campus is one of the nicest school campuses around, but I'm so sad to see that the school spirit is not what I had expected. The greater percentage of the students are not interested in the school activities." " I am not planning to stay in Wilkes for the four years, but I am hoping after two years I may be transferred to a nursing college or the West Coast so that I may be nearer home.

EDITORIAL LET'S DO IT BY CONVENTION The Pennsy lvania Constitution prevents the growth of industry, obstructs the attainment of judicial excellence, binds the executive to outmoded methods, and makes the legislature non-representative. These are just some of the problems caused by our basic document. The constitution was writt.'.m in 1874 as a result of the Civil War. It was written specifically for that period and is not adequate for our present age. Governor Scranton has said, " I feel very strongly that our state constitution is outmoded for the type of life that we hewe in the United States today and in Pennsylvania, particularly. I do think that it should be revised and very generally . My personal preference would be for a constitutional convention." In the Minor ity Report of the Pennsylvania Commission on Constitutional Revision, his opponont in the last election, Richardson Dillworth, and Miss Genevieve Blatt concurred in saying, "Our constitution is utterly inadequat.e. We urge that the legislature provide the necessary machinery for a general revision of the constitution rather than for piecemeal amendments." How may the constitution b.e improved? One method is amendment, but this is slow. I t takes at least three years to pass one amendment. Only a small number of amendments are consider.ed by the legislature, and, of these, very few are able to pass both houses of the legislature twice and reach the ballot. The W oodsid.e Commission on Constitutional Revision stated in its report that THE CONSTITUTION NEE DS 123 AMEND MENTS - 33 OF T HEM CRIT ICALLY! This is in addition to the more than 60 that have already been passed. We must make a basic choice; shall we patch up our constitution a little bit at a time or call a convention to write a document applicable to our modern society. We feel that the latter course is preferable. Former Governor Lawrence in discussing revision by amendment said, "Amendmt~nts, after all, have a way of becoming quite specific and enormously detailed - and if there is one thing Pennsy lrnnia's constitution does not need, it is more detail. Then , too, there is a natural tendency toward wordiness when documents are being amended piecemeal - and the constitution is verbose enough already." A convention, on the other hand, would provide a method by which the whole document could be re-evaluated and re-written. It would offer the people of Pennsylvania a fast , efficient, democratic method to chang.e their constitution. The convention method has been endorsed by both major political parties and specifically by Governor Scranton, Senators Clark and Scott, and former Governors Fine, Lawrence, and Leader. On November 5, we urge you to vote YES for a constitutional convention. J. H . G. Vol. XXV//1 , No. 7 WILKES COLLEGE, WI LKES-BARRE, PENNA.

Assembly Enlightens Student Body On Problem of Constitutional Revision by Virginia Todd Pennsylvania, hampered by a postCivil War Constitution that has earned such epithets as "poor," "doddering," "obsolete," "wasteful," "inadequate," has realized the need for improvement for the past number of a century. However progress in constitutional revision has been retarded by various proposals for diverse methods of revision. Representatives of organizations favoring the two most popular methods, revision by constitution and revision by amendment, debated the merits of their respective methods in yesterday's assembly. Intercollegiate Conference on Government sponsored the assembly, which presented Attorney Reynold Kosek, in favor of constitutiona l revision by amendment, and Attorney Stanley Brockman, in favor of revision by constitutional convention. Recent Ruins Offer No Relief For Drought-Plagued Eastern Penna. No relief is in sight for drought-plagued Northeastern Pennsylvania. The United States Weather Bureau S tation at the Scranton -Wilkes-Barre Airport stated that the effect of the recent rains has been, for all practical purposes, negligible. The rains, it seems, have done little more than settle the dust; the problem persists. According to a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, Mr. Stephen Kish, all hunting and fishing and entry into state forests is prohibited. He said the water table is dropping, but there is no danger as yet to wildlife. As of now there is no plan for refund of hunting fees for the 1,000,000 hunters in th e state, but if the ban Varsity Debaters To Compete In LoSolle Tournament this Afternoon At l 0:00 a.m. this morning, four vars ity debaters departed for LaSalle College, 20th and Olney Avenue, Philadelphia.

SPORTS CAR ENTHUSIASTS PLAN CAMPUS ORGANIZATION by Marshall Evans "Tonneau-coverl" "Independent rearsuspension!" "Quad overhead camshafts!" Have you overheard students on campus discussing such subjects? If so, no doubt you have wondered what such things were. These terms pertain to sports cars, and the students who use these terms are either sports car owners or sports car enthusiasts. Over the past few years sports car sales in the United States have been rising rapidly. The influx has also shown on the Wilkes campus for there are many proud sports car owners here. Because of th e increased interest in sports cars, some of these proud owners are forming a sports car club on campus. Douglas Haughwaut is one of the students trying to organize such a club. Douglas explained that the group not only welcomes owners of sports cars, but they would also like owners of other types of ca rs to join their group. The main object of the group is to form a team and to enter their cars in competition as a group. Locally, the sanctioned contests are held at Zayre's in East End on Sun- continues, the hunting season will probably be extended. Kish said that he was pleased with public cooperation on this matter. Although experts disagree, it has been estimated that approximately three inches of rain during a short per iod would alleviate the problem. No Imminent Danger Mr. Rulison Evans, of the Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company, stated that there is no imminent danger of water shortage, but he advised discretion in its usage. He said, "Use all the water you need, but don't waste it." Dr. Potter, of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, reported to the Beacon that some Pennsylvania cities have been forced to use secondary supplies of water because their primary water sources have dried up. He also stated there is no other danger to health as a result of the situation. Mr. Louis Trax, of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Chief's office, stated that there has been a disproportionate jump in the number of brush fires in the city for the month of October. He reminds the public that there should be no burning of trash or leaves because of the obvious danger of these activities under drought conditions. A spokesman for the Wilkes-Barre Park Department announced that city parks will remain open to the public as usual, but no fires will be allowed, and the public is cautioned to use care when smoking or using matches. day afternoons. In the competitions there are several classifications for different types of sports cars and regular cars. The competition consists of speed trials through an obstacle course. The best tim e of each classification wins the race within his group. The group hopes to have badges, which are being designed by Jan Pethick, by November IO when they plan to enter a team in competition at Zayre's. Anyone interested in obtaining more information about the group, or anyone wishing to join the group should contact Douglas Haughwaut. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL Friday, November 1, 1963 I WOULD HAVE G.

ARE We are gladdened by the death of a very good friend, a friend who in these arid weeks offered us many cathartic experiences. He succumbed in New York, Oct. 18, 19, and 20. His lingering illness was due to his altruistic desire to be heard. Unfortunately, he was misunderstood. People thought his only concern was for those who took him to dinner, those who enjoyed reading his mail, and those who lovingly put him to bed every Tuesday night. Now, he sleeps the sleep of the down-trodden apostle. Du-e to the recent Associated Collegiate Press Conference, the editors who attenqed have decided to formally announce the death of the old BEACQN and the birth of the new. This conception, mothered by Necessity, indirectly gave rise to a new philosophy, Beaconism. The adherents, called Beaconites, have postulated their own commandments: I. We promise to take a firm stand on all issues brought to our attention that are of vital importance to the student body. 2. We promise to present a wider range of articles that are of interest not only to the student body, but to the student body as individuals interested in world events. 3. We will ENTHUSIASTICALLY support those events which have as their genuine purpose student unity. At this conference, we discovered that there are three major problems on almost all campuses; namely, apathy, parking space, and cafeteria food. Since these problems are so "world-wide", we have decided to "define" them. We intend to dismiss the first, apathy, by working from the point of view that THERE IS NO APATHY ON CAMPUS. When this editor questioned people as to whether or not they were apathetic, all said no emphatically. Therefore, if no one deems himself "that way", then "it" does not exist! Intricate Persian Rugs Add Oriental Aura To Weckesser by Leona Sakash With the aquisition of Weckesser Hall the College also acquired a number of very valuable oriental rugs. Their worth is quite difficult to determine precisely, but if a tenative guess would be helpful in judging their significance, Dr. Michelini surmised that they could range from fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. When some of the people of Weckesser were queried concerning the rugs, the responses varied from deep appreciation of their beauty and workmanship to Joanne Zuchoski's remark, "Actually, I didn't know we had any," and Margaret Gallagher's practical However, the case is different with the other two problems. comment, "They slip." esser are of the Kerman class. These carpets are characterized by their light surroundings. The Chinese carpets are distinguished by their clearness and simplicity and especially by their wide, free, background spaces when contrasted with the tight concise design of the Persian rugs in Weckesser. The prevailing background color is yellow and the carpet in Dr. Farley's office substantiates this generalization. This particular carpet has, superimposed on its lemon background, rose, pink, and purple geometrically-styled vases and flowers spaced at regular intervals.

Those who wish to rant or rave don't necessarily have to sign their names to the articles, but should. reach the zenith of perfection in their employment of various combinations of subtleties of color and in their hues which were not even attempted by craftsmen of other countries. These subleties and combinations were harmoniously resolved throughout the carpet's design.

Three years ago, James Tredinnick read a book entitled Black Like M e by John Howard G riffin. G riffin's book, telling of the sensations of being a Southern Negro, initiated a spark in Jim, who by now was beginning to accept Christianity, that wa~ to grow into the flame eventually setting off a chain reaction of bonfi res, both for Jim and for Wilkes. Jim switched his major from engineering to psychology, aiming for acceptance into a semiary and eventua ll y a parsonage in the deep South. All hi s further plans were directed toward this goal. He began following racial problems in Birmingham and other southern cities. And finally this past summer Jim got a chance to taste some of the problems of his future. Tak es Part In March Wh en Ji m heard of plans for a march on Washington, he decided that bis place was with the peaceful demonstrators. He went to Washington expect ing to spend a few days and return to Wilkes-Barre, having had an enlightening, if uneventful experience. But fate had other designs on Jim. During the Washington demonstrations, a Negro minister from Danville, Virgin ia, asked for volunteers to march on that city, some one hundred miles from Washington. Jim, feeling his duty lay in Danville, hitch-hiked the bun- Sparks CORE dred miles at night, slept in woods outside of Danville, washed and shaved in a near-by gas station, and appeared in Danvjlle at 11 A.M. He immediately went to the N egro Baptist church where the demonstration was being planned. Inside the church thirty Negro students and two white students were inform ed how to ca rry out the two small demonstrations. The group Jim was in was instructed to go to the court house, passing inconpicuously through the streets, carrying small signs and buttons concealed under thei r clothing. They were told that police action would be brought against them, and that arrest was probable. They were instructed to go limp at the time of arrest and to allow themselves to be carried away to jail. The eleven students and Jim went to the courthouse and began marching on the steps, singing "We Shall OverCome", the nat ional anthem of the Civil Rights Movement and " Black and White Together". In a few minutes the police arrived, informed them of their arrest, and literally carried the¢ , to jail They spent two days in a prison fa rm, Negro and white in the same cells. They were transferred to the county jail for five days, taken back to the prison fa rm for an additional day, and finally set free on a two thousand dollar bail, provided by various Negro groups. Out On Bail James is now out on bail and must rema in prepared to go back to Danvi lle if the Federal Court which is scheduled to review the case decides to ca rry out the charges against him. He is charged with violating a city injunction against demonstration, inducing minors to commit misdemeanors, and resisting arrest. If the courts JAMES TREDINNICK decide to revi ew the case, Jim faces a heavy fine and a possible prison term. Jim, however, being a singular young man, did not allow these forboding events to darken his bright outlook. When he settled down to Wilkes again, he found other students interested in the N .A.A.C.P., a nd now he and Margie Harr is have become the backbone by Richie Kramer of the Wilkes chapter of CORE.

Dick Morgan these two words best describe last W ednesday's 6-3 victory over Muhlenberg. Setting a new scoring record of goals per game, Morgan boomed the ball into the net 5 times as the Colonels completely overpowered the Mules. The first goal came midway through the first period when Morgan took a beautiful pass in front of Muhlenburg's goal and zipped the ball past the goalie. Not content with a one point lead, Dick stole the ball at midfield and headed toward the Mule's goal. His fancy footwork completely deceived the goalie, and Morgan scored again. The Colonel dkfense, playing another outstanding game, once again stole the ball in the closing minutes of the first period. Morgan set himself before the opponent's goal, received the pass, and again outmanevered the goalie, splitting the net for his third goal of the period. The second period saw a fierce battle between the enraged Mules and the stubborn Colonels. Each time Muhlenburg attempted a drive, the Ferrismen stepped in and took the ball away. Led by Al Gubanich and Dick Bucko, the Colonel defenders refused to yield to the hot-tempered Mules. With time running out in the half, the Wilkes hooters set up their play and ended the period with Dick Morgan's fourth goal of the game. MORGAN SELEC:TED "ATHLETE OF THE WEIil" IN MUHLENBURG C:ONTEST by Merle Bolen For the first time this year the BEACON is traveling to the Soccer tea m in search of a recipient of this week's "Athlete of the Week" award. Having long overlooked the fine performance of the Ferrismen we feel that their efforts are long overdue the recognition which it deserves. Upon visiting the team the one name that seems to stand out above all is that of center forward Dick Morgan. An outstanding performer all year, Dick has proved his value to the squad many times. However, in last Wednesday's game with Muhlenburg he really outd id himself. Setting a new scoring record of goals per game, Morgan boomed the ball into the net 5 times as the Colonels completely overpowered their opponents for a 6-3 victory. A well conditioned athlete, Dick always di splays a maximum effort in both games and practice sessions. His hustl e on the field has earned him three Stagg Awards and has led him to rec:eive high acclaim as one of the fin est soccer players Wilkes has seen in many years. Dick's leadership ability is evident having been chosen co-captain of the team. His fine work is not new to the team.This can be seen by reviewing last year's games in which hi s efforts were awarded by receiving his letter for his stellar performance. Dick is a native of Spring City, Pennsylvania, and now resides in Gore Hall. The 5 foot ten, 150 pound English major attended Phoenixsville High School where he captai ned the basketball team and the cross country tea m. Also contributing his efforts to the track team, Dick holds letters in all three of these sports. The ski ll displayed by Morgan on the field cannot be fully appreciated until one stops to think that he never nlayed the sport before coming to Wilkes. Because of his capacity for leadership and inspired play, Dick Morgan has been selected as the BEACON "Athlete of the Week." 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 HARRY SONNY LAZARUS Refus ing to become complacent, the Ferrismen continued to maul their opponents in the third period. Two minutes after the opening whistle, Bob Eurich took a pass, sped down the sidelines, and iced the game with a 30foot boot. Dick Morgan padded the margin four minutes later when he scored his record-setting fifth goal. With a comfortable lead, Coach Ferris decided to rest his starters inserted some of the new men on squad. Muhlenburg capitalized on mistakes of the Colonel novices, scored three goals in the period. Jim and the the and Not since 1953, when they defeated Lock Haven, have the Wilkes hooters scored six goals in one contest. Morgan's five goa ls, of course, were instrumental in this win, but the fine pass ing of Walt Prusakowski and Al Gilbert and the 17 saves by goalie Lou Szabados should not be overlooked.

ROAD RUNNERS WIN 33-0; BUTLER HALL VIc:TORIOUS The Road Runners clinched a virtual tie for the Independent League by defeating a strong Rummy's team 33-0. The Road Runners used their defense to full advantage as they picked off 5 enemy passes. Gionett i, Covalim and Balewski were outstanding on defense. The Road Runners have not been scored upon in three games. In the Dorm League, Butler Hall played a tough Miner Hall squad and emerged victorious 26-6. Butler is now in contention fo r the Dorm title as MEET JUNIATA TOMORROW The Drexel Dragons discounted a brilliant 67 yard touchdown run by Colonel quarterback T om Trosko in coming from behind to hand Wilkes its 4th loss in 5 games by a 23-14 margin last Saturday. T ::e Wilkes team was worn down by the Dragons until the Philadelphia institute finally exploded for two touchdowns and three extra poi nts in the final stari:i!a, and just about defeating all hopes of an anticipated stellar season. The ca use for the Colonels being ground away was attributed to the fact that several key players were on the injured list. Among th e injured last week was speedy halfback John Gardner who saw limited action, and stalwarts Ed Comstock, Frank Wallace. Ralph Hendershot, and Ed Brominski. Tomorrow Wilkes faces Juniata. Last season the Indians scapled the Colonels 21 -14 in overcoming a late Wilkes rally which saw Wilkes lose the ball on the Juniata 14 yard line. The Indians are under new leadership, with Fred Prender in his first year as head coach. Prender w ill be trying to live up to last year's 6-2 record. It is hoped that Coach Schmidt of Wilkes will be able to overcome the injury jinx which seems to be plaguing the Colonels. they moved within one game of league leading Barre Hall.

Flood and his supporters contend that stu- dent activity funds should not be used to help finance CORE's programs. The petition which Flood is circu- lat ing reads as follows: We, the unundersigned petition the Student Governm ent to withdraw recognition of the CORE chapter at Wilkes College on two grounds: First, that CORE should not be allowed to use the name of Wilkes College, or Wilk es College Student Government, or the Student Body on the grounds that such would imply that they are endorsed or sup- ported by these groups; Second, that our Student Activities Funds should not be used to support any political group on campus. Flood stated that he and his group are not against integration; they are merely in oposition to the sanctioning of CORE as a campus organization. At the latest report, the petition has been filling rapidly. A tally of the signatures cannot be made at the time of this wri ting due to the fact that the copies of the petition have not been collected. However, Flood reports that the petition has been well received by the student body. His only regret is that many students are not willing to sign their name simply because they are afraid of chastisement from the administration.

Registration Policy Clarified by Jo e Klaips During the past week, there has been a great deal of concern on the part of the student body in regards to the registration procedure which wil be followed during registration for the spring semester. When are we going to be able to register? With whom should we register? What procedure will be followed for registration this time? All of the preceeding questions are valid, and it is believed that each one will be sufficiently answered in the article which follows. Delay in the registration for the spring semester was due primarily to the underestimated length of time required for the administration in research and analysis of each possible registration program for our campus. The adm inistration feels the program which they have set up wi ll be most beneficial for the student body as a whole. During the research period, many tenative ideas 'leaked out' and began circulating throughout the student body. One of these ideas, for instance, was that each student would have to contact his prospective course instructor in order to register for that particular course. This procedure is NOT go ing to be in effect. The following complete informati on on registration plans has superceded all previous ideas. Regis tration Times Announced Registration for the seniors, juniors and engineering students will be held from November 18 - 22. Registration for the sophomores will be December 2 - 6, and freshmen registration wi ll be held from December 9-13. Aside from the fact that the various groups will register at different times, the registration procedure for all groups will be the same. Beginning on Monday, students may pay, at the finance office, a $25 deposit which is a prerequsite to registration eli gibility. After the student receives his receipt, he may go to visit his advisor anytime during the four day period assigned to him. Each student, upon visiting his advisor, will receive a registration Form consisting of three copies and a master schedule of courses being offered, and the day and time during which each class will be conducted. The student will then select the courses and sections which best fit into his schedule, and enter these in his registration form . After the student has his schedule approved by his advisor, he will receive his copy of the form, which will, in effect, be his 'final' sched ule for this spring semester. Schedules to be Mailed The administration will then process and confirm all schedules, so that there won't be any overload in one particular section. Following any necessary minor adjustments as to section, the adm inistration will send to the students a copy of the corrected schedule, along with a bill for the balance of tuition due. The tuition payment deadline will also be an- nounced at the time of billing. This, in general, is the registration system as it wi ll operate. There may still be, however, numerous questions concerning the system. To clear up all problems which the students might have, possible questions will be presented along with the correct answers. It is hoped that this will clear up the situation in the minds of those concerned. A few examples of possible questions are: Q. Will the $25 deposit be applied to our tuition? A. Yes. Q. Why do we have to pay this $25 deposit? A. There are many students who do not plan to return to school next semester. If there were no harder, financial or otherwise, placed upon these students, they would register for the spring semester, causing a great deal of administrative expense to the college. It is believed that the $25 deposit will prevent such registrations. Q. What if I should fail out of school, will m!J $25 deposit be returned? A. Yes, if there is a legitimate reason, the deposit wi ll be returned. Q.What if one fails a course which happens to be a prerequsite for a course for which he has regis tered? A. January 31 has been set aside as the time for all students to make such correct ions with their adv isors. Q. Wh en will copies of the master course sheet, listing courses and times, be available to the students? A. Such schedules should be posted on the bulletin boards on Monday. Q. When will the schedules be processed b!J the administration, and sent to the students? A. At the end of December. Q. Wh!J has this system been instituted? A. After a great deal of research, the administration feels that this will be the best system under which students can register. Q. ls this our final registration? A. Yes. Qualifications To Be Published Twenty-Four Freshmen Nominated FRESHMEN NOTICE For the first time in the history of the Wilkes College Beacon, we are giving all freshmen nominees the opportunity to express their individual platforms. We ask that all those nominated for a position subm it their individual statement of policy no later than Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 5 p.m. These statements should be left in the Beacon office, placed in the Beacon mailbox, or given to any ed itor. Any nominee who does not submit a statement of policy risks losing the confid ence of his fellow classmates. Twenty-four freshmen were recently nominated for the positions of class officers and student government representatives at a special class meeting.

IDC Dispute Budget A dispute concerning the Inter-Dormitory Council's financial allottment for 1963-64 was the main topic of discussion at the regular IDC meeting last Tuesday. The main participants in this discussion were George Evancho, IDC president; Dick Burns, Student Government president; and Jim Jones, Student Government treasurer. Evancho explained that IDC operates through four separate funds : Student Union Fund, E.C.A. Fund, Dorm Party Fund, and Agency Fund. The E.C.A. Fund is the regular extracurricular activities allotment from Student Government; the Student U nion Fund is for the care and opera- tion of the student union; the dorm party fund is for the operation of nine free dorm parties; and the Agency or Concession Fund is for the foreign orphan and miscellaneous expenses. Evancho further stated that IDC's activities this year would be seriously curta iled for lack of funds due to a small student government allotment He emphasized the need for the full $790 requested to efficiently perform their many functions, "including the sponsorship of the foreign orphan; presenting the Outstanding Dormitory Student awards and academic trophies; sponsoring the annua l Christmas party, the dorm parties, Prospective Freshman Weekend, Hampton Weekend, a stu- dent seminar, a dance at the gym, and concessions at athletic events." Jim Jones took opposition to Evancho's statements and explained why Student Government considered many of the expenses superfluous. He emphasized that only aher careful study of the IDC budget over the last five years and thorough discussion with the council's officers and advisor, had they decided that this year's request, whi ch is double last year's allocation, was excessive. Dick Burns, SG president concurred with Jones and contended that IDC should attempt to finance some of their expenses as do almost all of the other organizations on campus. Burns further contended that IDC should consider applying a greater portion of their income to the E.C.A. Fund rather than channeling almost all of it into the Agency Fund as they have been doing. He also pointed out, that by admin istrative ruling, Student Government is not allowed to support certa in activ ities for which I.D.C. requested money, the largest and most expensive of those being the support of the Greek Orphan. Jones pointed out specific items such as secretary's expenses and various miscellaneous amounts-which did not seem valid _ as well as various incomes - from student Union vending machines and athletic concessions for example that could be used to defray expenses of the council. He emphasized that Student Government has only a lim ited amount of funds to allot to many organizations on campus and that each organization has a duty to contribute as much as possible to its own support. He concluded that the tentative budget figure of $330 might be reconsidered if Evancho and the other officers of IDC would re-meet with the Student Government Budget Committee and intraduce new facts to justify their request. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, November 8, 1963 EDITORIAL SAY - TO GIVE OR NOT TO GIVE THE QUESTION ABOUT THAT STORY ••• We changed the "look" of the BEACON last week, with both the drought and constitutional revision coverage, in blithe confidence that our readers would understand our meaning and appreciate it. by Barbara Graytok This is the last Chance. The deadline is five today. At that time, the United Fund campaign will conclude for this year. During the hours remaining, the multitude of procrastinators attend ing this College may flock to the campaign chairman of their respective class and donate any amount they can afford. But we've gotten enough comments like, "Gee, you must have been really short on news last week to use those big, front page fillers," to shake our confidence. Obviously we haven't made our point, so let's try it again. We intend ,to broaden the scope of our content to more accurately parall.el the scope of our readers' interests. We qre writing for the "compleat" reader whom we define as one who is concerned with the local and international scene as well as with the activities of his school. The tlay students, especially, should harken . to this plea because they are aiding their neighbors by contributing. Yet, the commuting students are lax in their responsibility to help others and are allowing the "burden" of contributing to fall on the shoulders of the dormitory students who will reap no benefit from the drive. Even though our main function is to report on school news, we cannot validly ignore the other facets of a student's existence without adding another link to the chain which of ten encircles and isolates that strange creature called the college student. In short, drought and constitutional revision were placed on page one purposefully. A glance at exchange newspapers from the top coll.ege press organizations throughout the U.S. will reveal that we are not alone in this view . 'LOANS' AMENDMENT MISCONCEPTION DISCUSSED BY 'FOCUS' PANELISTS by Barbara Simms REGISTRATION YES J CHAOS NO!

This is not true; the money, in most cases, would be a loan, not a grant, and it would be fully repaid. The student would be able to borrow up to $l000 a year, but the average amount would probably be $600. This is not enough to suport a college student; he would have to supplement his loan in some way, probably by part-time work. Another point brought up and discussed at length was the plan of not granting a loan to a student until his sophomore year. Under the present proposed amendment, freshmen would not be eligible for this aid. The advantages and disadvantages were examined, and it was agreed that freshman loans should be granted. The freshmen dance kicked off the campaign last month. Since then students in each class have solicited donations and during the past week, a box covered with blue and gold has been in the cafeterias from 11-1 so that anyone could deposit his change. Yesterday at assembly, a canister was passed around for donations. Besides these attempts, contributions were collected from the four class treasuries and from the overtwenty clubs on campus. Everyone has certain ly had the oportunity to contribute, yet the response so far has been disheartening. At the onset of the campaign, a goal of $1200 was set for Wilkes College. This amounts to less than one dollar per person. But in a month, only a few kind-hearted souls have managed to part with some money to help others. This implies that the rest of the student body has been without even an extra penny for a whole month. The best point is that the results are not final yet. Students still have an opportunity to redeem themselves. With the donations of these procrastinators, the campaign will at least go over the half way point and be successful. In this, however, we find ourselves confronted with the problem that (sad to confess) only an insignificant number of college students actually read books. Were this not so, viz., actually true, we might find it in ourselves to make witty little comments about recently published novels, like Salt, for example, " that it be read with the proverbial grain," or that Lord of the Flies is breaking all precedent, drawing readers in swarms with its cynically social "vinegar." As the situation stands, however, the Onlooker finds itself confined to that rare classification of book which no student on campus reads (book reviews are written to spark interest) , but which a good majority of students are supposed _to read. We will therefore turn our interest to that fine volume, now running into its fourth edition, American Education by Chris A. DeYoung. Because this book, a textbook, is written for the individual who will eventually teach high school, it is, of course, written on the high school level and is then most naturally the book that would more efficiently appeal to the average college student, viz., the student of the average college. The book is well constructed, it has wide margins; there is no thought which is not repeated at least twice, viz., two times; and there is a wonderfully wide assortment of illustrations (textbook writers are paid by the page). In Chapter One there are twenty-four large, easy-to-see pictures in its twentyseven pages; Chapter One should appeal to those students who did poorly in Freshman Composition, viz., English 101. ism, consisting of skin, bones, muscles, nerves, glands, organs of special sense, and a digestive system, working independently." When the reader has managed to comprehend such a philosophy he will find that he is also able to define almost any living mammal, and can therefore assume that dogs, cats, and even aardwolves are also the pupils which Mr. DeYoung discusses. To prevent such confusion, however, the author has brilliantly included an One of the main features is a small entire chapter on " Pupils," Chapter but useful Glossary in the back of the Ten, to clarify the subject, an excellent book. American Education is one of feature for an Education book. the few textbooks on campus which And, though somewhat anti-climatic, actually includes a small but useful on page 289, the author finally finds Glossary.

Dr. Holden, who did hi s undergraduate work at Brooklyn, N .Y. and hi s graduate work at Alfred University, Alfred, N.Y., is residing in WilkesIlarre with his wife and his four and a half month old son. Before receiv ing his Ph.D. in Physics. Dr. Holden worked for one year at Westinghouse Electric as a physicist. He also taught at Alfred University while working toward his Ph.D. degree. At present, aside from teaching at Wilkes College, Dr. Holden and Dr. Detwil er are engaged in solid state research for the U.S. Air Force. Working under contract to the Aeronautical Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson A.F.B., Dayton, Oh io, Dr. Holden and Dr. Detwiler are doing research on internal fricti on in non-metalic solids. Dr. Holden's non-scient ific interests include the appreciation of music, literature, and painting. Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Goethe, and Thomas Wo lfe are included among Dr. Holden's favorite authors. Baroque pieces by Bach and Handel are Dr. Holden's favo rite musical select ions. Preferring modern or abstract art to classical art, Dr. Holden mentions Picasso and Feininger as two of his favorite painters.

T h is intercollegiate conference had as its domi nant theme the goals, needs and responsibilities of American higher educat ion with the subsi d iary theme br in~ civil rights. The two delegates parti cipated in lectures and discussion grou ps centered around these topics. The Conference attracted approvi matedly 125 students from colleges and universities from such geographical York and Atlant ic Christian College, t'xtremes as Hofstra University, New North Carolina. The presence of such a varied group enabled the continual excha nge of ideas and information among the members of the group. matically, Dr. H olden stated that he doesn't look at physics or mathematics with a strictly utilitarian outlook. "Mathematics and sciences are themselves beautiful structures, as a building might be beautiful; and, in this sense, they might have an aesthetic quality," said Dr. Holden. Dr. Hold en's future plans include helping to build an active research center at Wilkes and also working toward esta blishing a Ph.D. program on campus. In order · to acquaint interested individuals with the Peace Corps and its operation, Miss Joan E. Morgan, program coordinator of the Peace Corps in Puerto Rico, wi ll be on the campus Tuesday, November 12. The agenda for Miss Morgan's visit is as fo llows: from 9-10 a.m., she will be in Mr. Arthur Hoover's office at Chase Hall; from 10-11 a.m. she will visit a class, after which there wi ll be a meeting open to the entire studer:it body and faculty at Stark 116 during. :the activity period, 11 a.m - 12 p.ln. At noon Miss Morgan will be generally available during luncheon in the Commons. At 1 p.m. she wi ll attend a class in Economic History in Parrish 35 and then a Political Science 100 class at 2 in Stark 11 6. The last stop wi ll be a coffee hour in the Commons from 3-4. This schedule has been ar- ranged for Miss Morgan by Mr. Hoover along with Allen Gubanich, Allen Gilbert, and Bob Dietz, presi dents of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes, respectively. At the general meeting during the activity period, 11-12, Miss Morgan will discuss the Peace Corps program and answer questions. Students may have their minds cleared on such subj eels as th e selection of volunteers, training, term of service, question of the draft, vacations, health care, taxes, insurance, student loans, etc. Miss Morgan is a 1956 graduate of Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Va. She received her M. Ed. degree from the University of North Carolina in 1958. Her major course of study was Spanish, which she taught for several years before joining the Peace Corps staff as program coordinator at Camp Cozier, Puerto Rico, in 1963. She traveled in Mexico as a studen t from June to August, 1959. DEBATORS GAIN RECOGNITION IN LASALLE TOURNAMENT The College debaters brought back a record of fou r wins out of ten rounds of argument from the recently held LaSalle Invitational Varsity Debate tournament. Four varsity debaters entered the competition as quests of the Gavel Society. Controverting the proposition that "the Federal Government should guarantee an opportunity for higher education to all qualified hi gh-school graduates" were Rosemary Rush, first negative speaker, and James Tredenni ck, second negative speaker. In defeating Mt. St. Vincent's, Middlebury College, and Temple University, the pair won three rounds of debate. The first speaker for the affirmative team was Douglas Kistler. Acting as hi s colleague was David Levy. This team won its debate with the University of Pennsylvania.

An interesting note is that Kings plays Drexel Tech, a previous Wilkes foe, tomorrow. Drexel downed Wilkes 23-14 in the Colonels last home game. The Road Runners continued to remain supreme in the Independent League. Last week the Runners crushed the Rummy's 33-0. The Road Runners still remained unscored upon after three games. The Macedonians and Heads had a di spute and agreed not to play their game settling for a tie. Hollenback continued to lead the Dorm League, but Barre is closing in on the leaders. Barre sq ueaked out a 14-13 win over Butler in the closest game of the season. Ash ley pushed Slocum farther into the cell ar by shutting them out with a 19-0 wa lloping.

Tomorrow, the Colonels close out the season against Elizabethtown, defending champion of the M.A.C. Wednesday's contest with SusqueJ,anna exhibited strong defensive play by both teams. All the scoring was done in the first period with Dick Bucko accounting for Wilkes' lone tally. The remaining three peri ods saw both teams try unsuccessfully to score. Time and again the Colonels tried to mount a scoring threat to be thwarted by the stubborn Crusader defense. Beat Wagner Undisturbed by Wednesday's defeat, the Ferrismen rebounded on Saturday to defeat Wagner College by a score of 2 to I. This game marked th e final stand of the season for the Colonels. Both teams battled on even terms throughout the game. At the end of re!(ulation play, the score was deadlocked at 1-1, Wilkes' goa l coming on a beautiful boot by center forward Walt Prusakowski .

Ill PONDERS BALL Ii HOOTENANNY by R ichie Kramer An appeal by members of the accounting club, and suggestions for enhancing two of the college's annual formals were two of the many topics discussed at Tuesday's action-packed meeting of the Student Government. Passing of Librarian, Mrs. Dorothy Molloy, Is Loss To Campus The Accounting Club, represented by Joe Klaips, submitted an argument on S. G.'s decision to award the dance on Freshman Weekend to I.D.C. The Accounting Club contends that it should have been granted the date because it was the originator of the activity, the Freshman Fling. Because of the need for a policy interpretation, the proposal was tabled until next week's meeting at which the S G. members will reach a decision upon it. Andrea Templar proposed to the Student Government that it consider converting the Cinderella Ball into a Formal Viennese Ball. The affair would call for formal attire and would be held off campus, probably at the Irem Country C lub. Sponsored by at least five campus orga ni zations, the Viennese Ball, according to Miss Templar, wou ld give the students a chance to accustom themselves to the act ivities they wi ll encounter after graduation and would be an exciting and interesting experience for all. Jim Jones proposed that the Student Government sponsor an Inter-Collegiate Folk Festival to be held in the Gym on the Saturday followi ng the Christmas fo rm al. This hootenanny, .it is hoped, would create a weekend which would not end on Friday evening after the formal. Although the S. G. members expressed an interest in this event, it was felt that the suggested date would leave too little time for the Mrs ..

SG IDC Continue Budget Dispute; Decision To Be Announced Soon The recent Student CovernmentIDC disagreement over IDC's budget fo r the 1963-64 school year initiated a special meeting of the Student Government Budget Committee last Tuesday morning. George Evancho, president of IDC, discussed a budget figure ad justed from $790 to $460 with the committee members. In their original calculations, Student Government figured IDC's expenses at $440, subtracted $115 of their Morgan expected income from this figure, and offered them a $325 budget. Evancho contended that income producing projects such as the concessions at athletic events and Student Union machines were specifically designed for the support of the foreign orphan and designated for the Agency Fund which is separate from the regular E.C.A. or extra-curricular activities fund. His questioning resulted in the appearance of Jim Jon es and D ick Burns, Student Government Treasurer and Michelini Discusses Education by Ginny Todd Education, that dynamic force which Paralle ling our educational system to is a Child of th e Past and the Father t:iat of other countries, Dr. Michelini of the Future, was the subject of Dr. cited such countries as India, where Francis Micheli ni's ta lk in yesterday's fifteen years of education may yield assembly. on ly ten productive years before death.

LETTERMEN MAKE PLANS FOR TEA 6. XMAS FORMAL Friday, November 15 , 1963 President respectively, at the IDC meeting last week to explain the manner in which the budget was decided. At that t ime, the two groups agreed to re-discuss the matter in another budget committee meeting. l In this re-meeting, Evancho sta\ed the inability of IDC to operate efficiently with the budget tentatively allotted to them. He also commented that many other organizations had received budget increases and that IDC, representing an expandi ng dorm student population, was also entitled to an increase. Jones countered with the statement that only those organizations that showed sufficient need had received additional funds. He further explained that Student Government was ask ing only that IDC apply $100 from its dance date income toward the budget and that any other income may go towards the support of their foreign orphan. Since the budget meeting was only for purposes of di scussion, no decision was made. But Jones pointed out that if IDC re-submitted an adjusted budget request, it would, of course, be considered.

Peace Corps To Students Mr. H oover and Miss Joan Morgan �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, November 15, 1963 Editorials AplltAetic 011/ccke,- VAGUE ••• WITH REASON If this week's story on the JDC-Student Government budg.et d.isagreement seems vague and general, there is a valid reason. We just couldn't plow through the mass of figures to the facts. Realizing the importance of this issue, the BEACON staff o.ttempted to corroborate the "facts" brought out at Tuesday's budget meeting by a check of the fi gures with both sides before the story was released. Three BEACON staff members, all upperclassmim, all familiar with the problem, were equally astonished to find that some of the figures given in this subsequent check not only disagreed with the report from the meeting, but also with each other. As a matter of fact , we are not even really certain of the $460 figure given as the adjusted JDC request. Student Gov.ernment has a. figure of $485 and to confuse matters more, both figures were mentioned by JDC at the budget meeting. In addition, at the time of this printing, both sides differ on whether or not JDC has, in actuality, submitted a new budget request. We are confused and concerned. If after attending meetings and talking with representatives from both sides, we don't know quite what's going on, how does the average student feel. And what's more how can a logical decision come out of this cloud of confusion and innuendoes. Certainly neither Student Government nor JDC want misconceptions circulating about this situation. We've already offered to print any statement of the JDC president who disagreed with some points in our story last week. Student Government is certainly aware that they can clarify their position in our pages. The responsibility for "clearing the air" lies with both organizations. WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY Th e sudden death of Mrs. D orothy Malloy of our Library staff has saddened not only her colleagues but the student body as well. ' Although Mrs. Malloy was with us for only a year, in this relatively short time, she made many friends through her quiet, .efficient , and always pleasant manner to students and faculty alike. Mrs. Malloy exuded that rare quality - a genuine interest in her fellow human being - which encouraged students to approach her with their problems, confident of their solution as w.ell as of cordial treatment. Her loss will be deeply felt both in her family and on our campus. • 111,e,.e • Manuscript Film - Throne Of Blood - Stark 116 - Tonight, 7 and 9 p.m. Dance - Women's Chorus - Gym - Tonight, 9 to 12 p.m. Football - Wilkes vs. Haverford - away - Saturday, 1 :30 p.m. Dorm Party - !DC-Commons, 2nd floor-Saturday, 9 to 12 p.m. Debate - Wilkes at Lehigh - Lehigh University - 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. - Jack Hardie Olsen Schroeder Thought for the W eek "A word to the wise is too often accepted at face value." At the present time a petition is circulating on campus asking that the Wilkes College Student Government reconsider its official acceptance and endorsement of the local CORE chapter on grounds that CORE is "political" in its organization and purpose and not strictly a "collegiate" activity. Would it not be somewhat humorous, we ask, if some one enterprising student were to circulate a petiti9n advocating the abolition of Student Government itself because of its political nature? It is true that the politics of S. G. pertain essentially to matters of the campus, but what, however is the function of this organization? Pragmatically, S. G. is a sort of undergraduate internship for Polit ical Science majors, ev"e n though every other student who feels so di sposed may also fling himself and his interests into the fray. This manner of student activity is undertaken, we point out, merely because it's " fun ," because its "something to do," and because it is one way to waste time which might be spent in the library. The functions of S. G., we declare, might easily and more effeciently be taken over by the Administration. Non Compulsory Assemblies! What Do Those Students Think They Are ... Adults? (Continued on Page 4) RANTS 'n RAVES ASSEMBLIES CANNOT FORCE CULTURE by Alis Puc ilow ski and Jeff Gallet Is compulsory assembly achieving its purpose of broadening the cultural background of the student body? We think not. We feel compulsory assembly is failing for various specific reasons, among which is the fact that the assembly programs provide entertainment for specific interest groups, not for the student body as a whole. We offer as an example, last year's program concerning recent biological discoveries. We are not arguing that this program was not effec tive. We are simply pointing out that if any particular department desires to bring a speaker to the campus, the program should be limited to a voluntary attendance lecture. Secondly, the assembly programs are loosely controlled and organized. Last year, the program list for the year was distributed at the beginning of the fall semester. A study of this list indicates that more than half of the programs were providing entertainment already available to the student body. For example, the program includ ing scenes and songs from Cue a nd Curtain's production of The Music Man could be seen simply by attending the show. by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG COLLEGE BOARD MEM Step up to high fashion in the leather look which is distinctly yours in genuine, soft, supple, suede coats. A full length coat in pink suede is pastel pretty. Piping trim and buttons in black leather provide a pleasing contrast. Style notes include deep side slits and three quarter length cuffed sleeves. Another version of the leather look is a taupe suede coat with luxurious natural mink collar. Fashion high points include the drop shoulder, covered buttons, and wedding ring collar. Suede is a go everywhere fabric. It goes to school, it follows your career faithfully, it travels, and it dates. A motor coat is a must in every girl's wardrobe this Fall. Ideal for days when you just don't feel like wearing a full length coat or for winter sports events. White wool always performed well but it rates a standing ovat ion when its scarf and lining are color mated in a bright red plaid. Favorite style notes include long sleeves and huge pockets as well as the ease of movemert an unfitted coat affords. Example of Ineffi ciency As an examplt of the assembly committee's inefficient policies, we cite the recent I.C.G. program. Last spring, I.C.G., as all other interested organizations, submitted a request for an assembly date. The club asked for a date in early fall so that it might obtain a national political figure to speak in reference to the elections held November 5. While a program was guaranteed, the specific date had not yet been set by the end of the semester. The club was asked to inquire again in July. When I.C.G. did so, it was informed that precise dates had not as of yet been set, and was told to inquire again in September, which it did. I.C.G. was told three weeks beforehand that it had finally been given a definite date. This left an insufficient amount of time to procure the intended national figure. The third reason accounting for the ineffectiveness of the compulsory assemblies is that the College does not have the funds to provide interesting programs each week. As a so luti on to this problem, we offer the course taken by our neighboring college, King's. As is evidenced in a recent dean's bulletin, King's College has rearranged its assembly programs because of problems sim il a r to ours. King's Syste m King's has initiated a system whereby th ere are eight assembly programs a year, two of which must be attended by the student body as a whole. The new system also requires a particular class to attend one other assembly program. For example, the assembly program held today must be a ttended by juniors; the program being held in February must be attended by sophomores. Thus, of the eight assembly programs, two are compulsory, two are voluntary, and four are designated for specific classes, though they do not excl ude those who desire to attend. Should one decide to cut a compulsory assembly, he would receive one cut for each class he has scheduled that day. We feel thi s is a fair policy, and that it or a reasonable facsimile should be adopted at Wilkes. 'BEACON' CONDUCTS STUDENT SURVEY ON SUBJECT OF COMPULSORY ASSEMBLY by Bill Kanyuck As a result of queries ori compulsory assembly, the BEACON has conducted a survey to determine the students' opinions on this subject. The gen era l opinion of the student body seem s to be that the program s can be improved by in ten s if icd attention given to few er programs. SuE WIEGEL, JUNIOR: "If it were worthwhile, I'd !(O. There should be one good program once or twi ce a month." CAROL MENEGUZZO, JUNIOR: " It is the most insulting thing imposed on students. There is no purpose. If it is supposed to entertain and educate us, how can it do so with someone who is not rece ptive every Thursday at 11 a.m. Instead of thirty programs, there should be four good programs." AL GILBERT, JUNIOR: "There should be one good assemb ly once a month or every few weeks." MR. GunN, ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: "The idea of having all students assemble periodically is a good one, I think, for promoting a sense of unity; but it is the ob li gation of the college to make such assembli es worthwhile and their content significant and interesting. To meet for the sake of meeting is not enough." GEORGE EVANCHO, SENIOR: " I am against it. Some are educational and some a ren't. College stud ents should have a choice of the assemblies they attend. These assemblies should provide social and academic betterment." JOHN LOUGHNEY, FRESHMAN: "Assembly which is compulsory is as outdated as the Middle Ages. In reality, assembly should be, for whatever it does accomplish, limited to once every three or four weeks and even then should not be com pulsory. In eight assemblies there have only been three worthwhile programs, the stage plays, the debate,. a nd the speaker who couldn't attend." WALTER F. DEXTER, SENIOR: " I think that the problem with compulsory assemblies is not that they are compulsory, but rather that they are, as a general rule, lousy assemblies. If the assemblies were worth goi ng to, there would be no need to make them compulsory; the student would want to go."

M arie Shutlock �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 1.s , 1963 Cox Checkmates Campus In Commons IMG Seeks To Fulfill Democracy; Offers In-Service Training Page 4 by Helen Dugan The time: 12 noon. The place: Second floor of the cafeteria, but right now it has a greater resemblence to New Year's Eve in New York City as seen by the guy on the bottom. Competing with the screams, chomps, slurps, and crashes, a muffled sound makes its way from a distant corner. After a few more meager attempts to be heard, the speaker lets out with a bellowing, "CHECKMATE" (ya all); and Dr. Harold Cox reigns once again as chess champ. This is a common Friday scene (or should I say-Friday's Commons scene?). From Market to Ross Street people have heard of these famous chess games; and by now word must have leaked into the condemned area of King's College. Meanwhile back in the Caf, spectators are eagerly waiting for some brave person to step forward and attempt to match his wit with that of Dr. Cox. Finally a shy little chess player slowly makes his way towards the table. As the game starts, Dr. Cox has a smug, self-confident smile on his lips. As the game progresses, it becomes more exciting. It is inspiring to watch such a gifted chess player in action. Dr. Cox is playing a good game too. After almost an hour of tedious maneuvers, the shy little guy ends victoriously. Thirty -Six Wins In A Row But that was just an 'off' game for Dr. Cox. Since he came to Wilkes he has established a record of thirty-six straigr.t games without a loss. In order to prove his skill, Dr. Cox once played two games at the same time. It was a long hard predicament; but finally two 'checkmates' separated by only a few minutes, rang out. Unfortunately Dr. Cox hadn't said a word. Accounting Club Tours IBM Plant at Endicott Charlotte W etzel Members of the Accounting Club, accompanied by Mr. Chapin, traveled to Endicott, New York, to tour the I. B.M. plant located there. The group departed from Parrish parking lot in six cars. One outstanding feature of the tour was observation of the construction of an I.B.M. machine from the drawing board to the finished product. The group was conducted to the section of the plant where machines are programmed through the specifications of the purchaser, and then are given a thorough going-over. Another facet of automation which the group witnessed was the construct ion of one I.B.M. machine by another through the use of tapes. The accuracy of a machine constructed by a precision process such as this is much greater than one which is built by human beings. Even though automation has progressed this far, the guides emphasize that these I.B.M. machines are only as good as the men who can program them. They also pointed out that while many jobs have become unnecessary due to increased automation, new ones are constantly being created. Photo Enthusiasts To Organize Monday by Marshall Evans A new organization, the Photography Club, is making its debut on campus Monday. The group will welcome all interested students to its organizational meeting in the Chase Photo Lab (Chase Hall Basement) at noon. The only requirements to join are that the person have a camera and an interest in photography. The group also plans to hold a " Miss Seasons Contest" to end in June. Each month four photographers, two each from the Beacon and Amnicola, will select a Miss Month. Photographs of the monthly winners will be presented to the student body for their selection of " Miss Seasons." On Fridays, from 9 to 10, the game room is the history office. That is on floor I ½ in Stark Hall. Dr. Cox says that the first eight steps in chess are the most important. These are also the most fundamental; but it seems that here is where so many students go wrong. "I would like to teach the fundamentals of chess to the students, since so few know them. Also I would like to see a regular time set aside for chess games," Dr. Cox admits. He says his greatest difficulty is finding some one to play against him. So all you brave chess players, and even you chicken hearted ones, scramble down to Stark Hall Fridays from 9-10, or to the Commons from 12-1, and try your skill. This is a CHALLENGE! PIGEONS VS. PEOPLE De Young Is For The Birds by Helen Dugan As everyone knows, there are certain people who are trying to have the pigeons banned from Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Robert De Young, assistant professor of economics, has become very interested in th is situation but isn't choosing sides. He merely stands back, smirking at the whole affair. Whether or not the birds can out last the people is his only concern. The pigeons are on the defensive. They were minding their own business and obeying the law, except for walking on the grass, until some catfancier came along to start trouble. It was then that Wilkes-Barre's peaceful pigeons were changed into frustrated fiends. Professor DeYoung points out, "The pigeon forces are mobilizing. They are training their troops to avoid traps." Humans beware! There is nothing more dangerous than a perturbed pigeon. They sneak up on top of you and .......... ! Professor De Young says, " The Pigeon War is almost over. The casualty lists reads as follows: Pigeons 35, People O." But he believes the pi geons will still win. " The people are Onlooker (Continued from Page 2) "How then," it will be asked, "will students maintain their 'rights' as students?" And What," we ask, "are the rights of students? The students' rights are merely, simply those of taking lecture notes and reading library books. The "student," by word definition, is merely one who studies; this is his vocation. "But without Student Government there would be no Beacon, no Amnicola, no Manuscript, as some few examples." With respect (which we have) for the students in charge of these organizations, we must nevertheless remark that the Beacon is read on Friday mornings and then left to "rot" on cafteria tables; the Amnicola is looked at every five years when the alumnus decides to reminisce a little between Homecomings; the Manu script is appreciated by a very small minority on campus in spite of its attempted creativity. Beacon. Amnicola, Manuscript, and Student Government are merely "valves" by which the over-energetic student "lets off steam." It is not wrong for the "steam" to be allowed to escape; it is necessary; let us, however, channel it into something of lasting good. The turbine is more important than the teapot. This year Student Government was the aggressors; which puts them at a disadvantage ffom the start." But disaster may still be imminent. Word has reached the outside that the pigeons are fighting among themselves and their fighting arena seems to be Professor DeYoung's window sill. He has been known to bet on these pigeon battles. But all students should disregard that last sentence. Professor De Young says, "Betting on pigeon fights is an adult activity and can only lead to the demoralization of a student's mind." This Pigeon War isn't just a local skirmish. It is becoming nation widefirst Wilkes-Barre, now New York City. Authorities in New York say the pigeons are making a mess of the statues in the parks. A well versed comedian, Alan King, has a solution for this problem. He says, " They should get rid of the statues; they're pretty ugly anyway." So the Pigeon War still goes on. As a final thought, Professor De Young says, " Right will be on the side of the stronger force in this crusade." granted a $17,000 budget. Imagine, if you will, what this annual grant would accomplish toward the building of the now-poor selection of our Ii brary's books. More student hours are wasted in extra-curricular activity than the curricular. Too many college graduates cannot spell, cannot read, cannot speak, cannot Think! Students, it seems, would rather live the life of transient, gold-washed, extra-curricular glory than develop any educated taste for art, music, literature, intellect, or life! Did you sign or refuse the petition in the cafeteria or the library? by Charlotte Wetzel The Institute of Municipal Government, under the direction of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of the political science department, has engaged in various community services since its inception in 1951. The activities of !MG were supported primarily by the College and by local officials until 1960 when the Ford Foundation granted a substantial sum to help meet the costs of its expanding program. The fundamenta l purpose of the programs of !MG is to "help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems." !MG intends to fulfill this basic purpose through the improvement of local government and administration in Northeastern Pennsylvania by providing in-service training for local government officials and public employees; by making technical advice, assistance, and research material available to local officials; and through the selfimprovement of local government personnel by assisting and cooperating with other government and community agencies. In accordance with these objectives, !MG offers non-credit, non-degree educational courses for the in-service training of municipal officials. These courses are provided in cooperation with the Public Service Institute, Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Courses Offered Among the courses which are offered this semester are Arson Investigation, Criminal Investigation, Magistrates Criminal Law, and Rural Assessment. Next semester the courses which will be conducted are Fundamentals of Fire Fighting, School Directors, Small Arms, Townsh ip Supervisors, and Youth Control. The courses listed above range in length from 5 to 24 sessions. Instruction is conducted by the members of the Institute staff, supplemented by sPveral guest lecturers. In addition to in-service training, IMG also conducts surveys which provide information concerning problems confronting local government officials. Recently representatives of IMG have begun a survey of the King's College Development Project. The survey is being conducted in cooperation with the Wilkes-Barre Redevelopment Authority and involves a nine acre area of land which will supposedly be used for the construction of a dormitory, student center, and gymnasium. The representatives of: !MG are distributing brochures which explain the project and are securing information to be utilized for the planning. Other projects in which IMG is presently engaged are the Wright Street Project, which concerns an area of land intended to be used for the future expansion of Wilkes College, and a sanitary landfill study which will attempt to bring together the communities of the East Side in a prospective solution to the refuse disposal problem. Mr. Philip Tuhy, educational and research associate of Dr. Mailey, serves as. a part-time planner for the WilkesBarre City Planning Commission. Library Established To provide and supplement its various programs with pertinent information, !MG has established a reference library of contemporary printed material on municipal government. It consists of reports, surveys, studies, and periodicals avai lable for use by public officials. An additional source of information for local officials is the Luzerne Count~ Newsletter published monthly by !MG, It highlights everyday problems of local government and presents the experiences of communities which have successfully overcome such problems. Dr. Mailey attributes the success of !MG "to the government officials and employees who have taken the time and expended the effort to use the facilities which it provides both the studies and the instruction." Survey of forcing eighteen and twenty year old college students to come to these purposeless gatherings is reminiscent of high school days. 'Nuff said." MR. MISTICHELLI, ENGLISH DEPT.: "The students should be allowed to attend the assemblies which they wish to attend. It would be better and more adult if it were optional." CATHY DE ANGELIS, JUNIOR: "Because of the apathy on this campus, assembly has to be compulsory to get the students to attend. However, I would like to see it on a voluntary basis." GAIL D1xoN, SOPHOMORE: "Compulsory assemblies defeat the purpose of the assembly program which is arranged for the enlightenment and enjoyment of the student. If a student is interested, he will go without force." RUTH ScH!MMELBUSCH, SENIOR: "The purpose of the assembly is to provide the student with an interesting form of entertainment which he would not ordinarily be able to provide for himself. However, if the student is not interested in a particular program, why force him to degrade the speaker or entertainer by reflecting only boredom?" STU JED, SOPHOMORE: "It's a necessity; after all you're paying for it." (Cont inued from Page 2) ToM CURRY, FRESHMAN: "Since the main purpose of assembly is entertainment, why not have some?" JoE Auus1, SENIOR: "If not made more palatable, they should do away with them altogether. To begin with, anything that is compulsory goes against the grain." Another popular opinion is that assembly should be held on a voluntary basis. CAROLE MAYER, SOPHOMORE: "They sr.ould be voluntary so that those who go wou ld get more out of it. It is a waste of time, for I've seen students sleeping, studying, and writing letters. The money saved by not holding it every week can be used to get a better program once or twice a month." MARIE PARCELL, FRESHMAN: "The programs are not good. They take up time w)lich might be used for studying. They should be on a voluntary basis." JuuE EVANS, JUNIOR: "Compulsory assemblies are childish and detract from the independence of a mature college student. I fee l as if my high school days are still with me." CARL LoucK, FRESHMAN: "Compulsory assembly in a college is a downright insult to the maturity and intellect of the college student. The idea Debaters Allend Workshop Al Lehigh by Mary Quinn The College debaters recently attended an intercollegiate workshop at Lehigh which focused on the methods of debating, rather than the debatedecision tournaments normally held. The tightly-scheduled day began with three forums, consisting of lectures on the analysis of the proposition, the att itude of the debater, and the efficient approach to debating for maximum beneficial results. Professor Hopkins of Bloomsburg State College and Professor Heisly of Messiah College were the main speakers. The demonstration debate, following the forums, was presented by debaters from Lehigh, for the affirmative team, and from Rutgers, for the negative team. After a luncheon for all the participants, a practice debate between Wilkes and Lehigh students was divided into two rounds and was evaluated by four faculty judges, who gave a critique rather than a decision. In the first round, the Wilkes affirmative speakers were Al Airola and Paul Macko. Paul Bachman and Mark Hamdi took the negative position in the second round. Miss Charlotte Lord, advisor of the college Debating Society, and several other novice and varsity debaters also went to the Lehigh workshop as observers. - �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 15 , 1963 Wednesday, December 4, Saturday, December 7 Monday, December 9 Wednesday, December 11 .. ..Tuesday, January 7 Thursday, January 9 Monday, January 13, Wednesday, January 15 Saturday, February I Wednesday, February 5 Saturday, February 8 Monday, February 10 Wednesday, February 12 Saturday, February 15 Tuesday, February 18 Thursday, February 20, Saturday, February 22 Wednesday, February 26, Saturday, February 29 - BASKETBALL Lycoming Ithaca Scranton Dickinson Phila.

CAQA\l ~~ WHO'S AFRAID OF CONTROVERSY THE BALLOT BOX We picked up our acid pen to write another scathing indictment of the apathy of the student body when sounds of activity coming from the Student Government office interrupted us. Running right down to investigate, we discovered that, startling as it may seem, there's life surging on our campus and much of it is centered in the SG office. The students are interested, thinking, questioning, non-apathetic. Just look at the signs: The Accounting Club appealing the change of their dance date, !DC questioning their budget, CORE group's right to student funds challenged, Stu Jed's committee investigating apathy, and Andrea Templar laboring for a formal Viennese ball. All of these are good signs; signs of blossoming student interest. Yet, unbelievably we have heard cries of alarm at this discussion and debate from sorric: elements on campus, intimations that we shouldn' t mention these points of difference in our paper. This attitude is difficult to accept not only because of its suggestion to ignore facts but also because it implies something amiss in students questioning tradition and each other. THE RISK OF BARRY GOLDWATER by Jeff Gallet Bow to the Southeast, wave your flag, the meeting of the Goldwater for President Committee is called to order. Ridiculous, maybe, but too close to the truth for comfort. The Goldwater people are a dedicated, loyal, fanatical group. They aim to get their man into the White House and they are organizing for the big push. Their devotion is impressive but one has to wonder if these people realize what their hero stands for. For the purpose of enlightening the Senator's suporters I will review some of Goldwater's avowed positions.

Just thirteen days before he told the A.P., "The United States should begin act ing like a world power and quit groveling on its knees to inferior people who like to come to New York." Does Senator Goldwater expect us to withdraw ourselves from the stream of world diplomacy? If you ask a Goldwater supporter this question he will smile at you knowingly and patiently explain that Goldwater simply wants to deal directly with the Russians rather than through a world group. I life and appeal to the majority of students, and act as a fact finding committee, to determine the students' attitude toward particular assemblies and to find out \\hat they would like in the future. The assembly committee does not have dictatorial authority over assemblies or the way they are run. It is subject to the 11pproval or disapproval of the administration. The assembly committee meetings are open not only to members, but also to any student or faculty member who is sincerely interested. Miss Puci lowski and Mr. Ga llet accused the assembly committee of loosely organizing assemblies. This is not true. The committee begins in November to organize an assembly calendar and to acquire guests for the following year. Let it be known that neither of the co-authors of last week's article has had the initiative or interest to attend a meeting or even to discuss the matter with a member of the assembly committee, (an example of the afore mentioned cardinal sin) . The committee was also accused of having assembly programs providing entertainment already available. A study of this year's program reveals that there is not one single assembly which provides the student with any entertainment or knowledge which is already close at hand. The committee was also accused of being inefficient. This, of course, is a false and biased statement. U nfortunately, rebuttal to this accusation wou ld require a full issue of the Beacon. In summation, let me say that the article entitled "Assemblies Cannot Force Culture" can be compared to a Texas Longhorn - It has a point here and a point there with lots of bull in between.

Dean of Academic �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, November 22, 1963 DEBATERS COMMENT ON BENEFITS GAINED by Lois Petroski Resolved, That the Debate Society can regain and surpass the fine reputation which it held among top schools in the country between 1955 and 1959. After a relative decline succeeding the 1955-59 "intellectual boom" among the College debaters, the Forensic Society is working eagerly in hopes of regaining its lost reputation. Prior to 1961, Dr. Kruger and Mr. Harold Flannery, former faculty members, coached the College group. John Campbell president · of the club since last year, was a ~tr1ber of the Debate Society at this tfrfle. Mr. Campbell admits : "I knew nothing of debate routine before I joined the College organization in my sophomore year. Practice as a novice provided me with knowledge of the rudiments, the style, and the technique of debate." Being the sole debater with collegiate experience, Mr. Campbell aided Miss Charlotte Lord and Mr. Dirk Budd last year when they began to organize teams and transfer the activities of debate. They worked with a quartet of novices, Douglas Kistler, David Levy, Rosemary Rush, and James Tredennick, who joined the club in September. Ephraim Frankel augmented membership when he joined at mid-semester. Along with devoting at least four hours of each week to library research, the group practiced a great deal. As a result, these novices had a very successful season and became varsity debaters this fall. Mr. Levy gained recognition in two tournaments. At Harpur College he won the Outstanding Speaker award, and at C.C.N.Y. he receiv~ a trophy for placing second out of approximately 60 speakers. · More lnvitat-io,j,s "Because of last year's success," remarks Miss Rush, "we have been invited to more tournaments this year." Miss Lord, who is directing the organizat ion alone this season, accepts invitations. Varsity debaters already have participated in two tournaments this semester - one at Marywood College in Scranton and another at LaSalle College in Philadelphia. The novice debaters took part in the Lehigh University tournament last Saturday. At the present time Miss Lord has accepted invitations to two other tournaments. On Nov. 22, the varsity crew will travel to Villanova University where they will participate in a two-day "switch" tournament. Here the teams will debate both affirmatively and negatively. On December 6, the novice debaters will journey to Temple University. Besides the increase in tournament invitations, Miss Rush cites the augmented allotment to the Debate Society's budget as a consequence of last year's success. "Once again," Miss Rush believes "the school is beginning to realize the significance of debate." The increasing importance also can be seen in Mr. Kistler's working experience of this past summer. He reports that "industry shows decidedly more interest in debating than in any other activity." Mr. Kistler feels that " debating is more beneficial to a college than is any other competitive event." Expounding his concept is Mr. Frankel : "In one tournament the debate teams encounter in competition as many colleges as the athletic clubs meet in their entire season. Public relations are very extensive." Miss Rush interjects that "debating adds to the prestige of a college by providing opportunities for the dissemination of campus history, views, and activities. The College name is becoming more and mart known and respected among the many institutions competing in tournaments." "Intellectual fame is better than athletic fame," concludes Mr. Kistler. Personal Benefits Many personal benefits also can be derived from debating. Mr. Tredinnick joined the organization to improve his speaking ability before entering the ministry and to become better acquainted with political affairs. Two Problems of Nonviolent Resistance Explained at Student Assembly by MiMi Wilson MLLE MAG BOARD MEM It's time to drift to sleep in the dorm in long pajamas for that midwinter night's dream, or, if you please, a night shirt for those visions of sugar plums. Long pajamas are a natural for sleeping. They cover you up softly and loose ly which makes for some of the best dreams going. Greet the sandman in a pair of white batiste pajamas delicately trimmed with white lace and blue satin threading. A classic way to fall .is_leep is in long pajamas with soft blue bottoms which blend becomingly w ith the tiny blue flowers scattered on the pajama top which shows a mandarin collar. Satin cord outlines the collar, cuffs, and pockets. The college gal loves nightshirts because they're comfy and give freedom of movement. One selection is a pink and white stripe nightshirt. But it doesn't stop there. It's cuffed in green and white check and collared in blue and white polka dot. Cute little pink and white stripe pants accompany the nightshirt. The college gal might look anything but sleepy in a gray and wh ite stripe nightshirt. It's ripe as harvest time with bright pieces of fru it strewn in frivolous fashion . For that final touch of bright color the nightshirt revels in red trim and shows tiny bows atop the shirt tail slits. To greet that unexpected caller enter in a floor length hostess robe of arnel triacetate and nylon in American beauty red. The cuffs and collar are edged in satin. It is waisted in front but not in back. by Linda Edwards Mrs. Edward Schechter yesterday addressed an assembly sponsored by the senior class. Mrs. Schechter is the authoress of The Peaceable Revolution, a book dealing with the problem of segregation. In it, she offers her solution to this pressing problem-nonviolent resistance. She feels that this idea would be acceptable to young adults for a variety of reasons. One is that with the Negro protest movement a vital part of American history is unfolding before they could better see its meaning and their eyes and, knowing its background, feel its excitement. Another of her reasons is that a new breed of heroes has emerged from the nonviolence resistance movement in the United States and these heroes are younl(. In their endeavors they are peacefully displaying the idealism, patriotism, and willingness to sacrifice and suffer for a just cause that all young Americans fee l. Thirdly, Mrs. Schechter believes that this story of nonviolence points up the power of ideas at a time when reliance on material strength threatens to overshadow everything else. She presents to her readers this story of nonviolent resistance, a method of fighting oppression and injustice that matches courage and goodwill against overwhelming odds - and wins. In a world where men stand in frightened awe of their own terrible weapons, Mrs. Schechter believes that the Peaceable Revolution may prove that man's capacity to destroy has not outpaced his power to do good. Mrs. Schechter was born and raised in New York City. She attended the Birch-Wathen School, graduated from Smith College in 1942, and for the fol lowing three years worked in the United Nations Information Office. At present she and her husband and their three chi ldren live in Kingston.

Mistichelli, English Dept. Akira Kurosawa's film, The Throne of Blood, is a masterpiece of cinematic craftsmanship. However, as some critics have suggested, the film's success derives from Kurosawa's singular vision of a proud warri or's failure to realize his ambition for power. He shifts the scene of the action from Macbeth's Scotland to sixteenth century Japan during the Singoku civil wars. By changing the setti ng and characters he is able to play out the story in his own terms. He does not give us a Macbeth "too full of the milk of human kindness," who destroys himself by a transgression of his moral principles. Kurosawa's protagonist, Washizu, is a proud Japenese war lord. blinded by an ambition which makes him helpless against the forces at work to destroyhim. Credit must be given also to Asaichi Nakai's photography. The film's theme which centers around man's quest for power is kept vivid in the viewer's imagination by a series of scenes in which screaming warriors and their powerful steeds thunder across the bleak countryside. Nakai carves out a setting essentially stark and primitive to blend with the emotions of the characters. Even the gestures of the actors, stylized no doubt after the manner of Japanese classical drama. reinforce the picture of violence. Toshico Mifune in the part of Washizu goes through his movements as though he were performing some ritualistic dance in defiance of his predicament, his eyes pierci ng and his teeth clenched. Falls Short of Tragedy Despite its awesome power, however, Kurosawa's story comes short of tragedy. Though his protagonist fall s from a position of hol)or to disgrace, he does not possess a nature grand enough to stir the audience's feelings of pity and fear. The tragic hero must claim a superior nature and must be able to relate to the audience the signifcance of his terrible destiny. Though Washizu represents a formidable hero, he is inarticulate. At times he reacts to his misfortunes like a ranting maniac. The remorse he suffers after having murdered the lordship of Forest Castle goes little beyond exped iency, since he is troubled primarily with his failure to successfully seize power. It is fitting, to compare Washizu's motives with those of Macbeth. Macbeth responds to his wife's plea to kill Duncan only partly from ambition. He feels compelled to fill the shoes she has made for him. In Macbeth we have the case of a superior man motivated by a great pass ion. He bends to the will of his wife even if it means overstepping the bounds of his conscience. After his transgression his love cracks and he is t 11rown into a void he cannot endure. Because he has known the glories of a noble life he is equipped to tell us wliat it means to fall from greatness. When Macbeth calls life"a walking shadow" and "a tale told by an idot" we realize that he is no longer able to di scern the figures of the spiritual world that once governed his soul. This is the same man feared before the murder that Duncan's virtues would Cue and Curtain to 'Present Audience With Experiement in Field of Drama by Charlotte W etzel The College thespians are once a feeling such as this is not justified." again preparing to present its audStarring in Pirandello's play are iences with an experiment in the field Mary Russin and Marc Hirschman. of drama.

He has since become so pitched in darkness that his angels are now shadows and the clear sound of trumpets, the babbling ' of an idiot. The once brisk vision of his imagination has become sinister and blurred. Washizu, on the other hand, along with !-:is ambition for power. murders from motives of suspicion and fear. He becomes a victim of his wife's cunning. She first succeeds in making him suspicious of his friend, Miki (Banquo), and warns him he must kill the lordship of Forest Castle before Miki informs him of the witch's prophecy. She later manages the death of Miki, himself, by working on her husband's fea r that his friend is anxious to secure the throne for his son. The fact that Washizu is tricked by his wife's scheming shows him to be a man whose power lacks both moral restraint and intelligence. Consequently, Washizu's crimes are not so grave as those of Macbeth and do not stain so greatly his intellect and will. His death scene. strikes the keynote of his situation. The emphasis is placed on physical torment. Throughout his agony Washizu remains dumb. He wades throuv,1-i an ava lanche of arrows, grunting like a wounded animal. As he lived 50 he mu~ die: as a warrior, a man of action. 4 Ils life runs its swift cou rse from one brutal deed to the next. It is fitting that his end be one of great physical pain. The tragic hero's rleath must be more lofty. Because of his superior endurance and his gifted tongue he is able to maintain eloquence in the depths of his suffering. This is what gives him his distinction.

It doesn't seem to bother him at all that this plan would destroy much of the civi lian contro l of the military of which we have always been very proud. As the topper to all of this, according to the senator's statements and voting record, he would also cut off most of our foreign aid program, both economic and military. Assuming Goldwater becomes President and takes all of these steps; where would they leave us? (I) We would have no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. (2) We would pull the rug out from under our allies. (3) Our military commanders would, for all practical purposes, have the power to declare war. To me it seems tli at this road can only lead in one dirnction - nuclear war. Conservatives tell us that Goldwater doesn't really mean what he says. They say that he will temper his actions if he becomes President. This does not seem li ke a reasonable argument to me. If we cannot trust Gold-water to keep his word, how can we trust him with the responsibilities of the Presidency? If we take him at his word, it then appears that he will lead us down the path to disaster. Either way I find it a little harder to fall asleep these nights thinking of what wou ld happen if Barry Goldwater were to become the President of the United States. by Ruth Partilla :Page 5 Boat Line in New York City.

Previously, no one had been hired to devote all his time to the IBM machine. Asked what was wrong with the machine, Mrs. Frijters replied, "Nothing!" She proceeded to explain that the fault lay not with the machine but with the processing of incomplete or vague data and insufficient experience with such machines. She feel s that time will gradually perfect the mechanism. Mrs. Frijters received her doctoral degree in economics at the Netherlands School of Economics in Rotterdam.

This is the overall feeling of the student body, the faculty, and the football team itself. As can be reflected by the photograph of halfback Frank Wallace to the right, the 1963 football season has been one let down after another. Surely the team had the potential to produce a victorious season with its ample supply of players. Its line, although somewhat weakened due to graduation losses, performed admirably throughout the season. Its backfield contained a more than adequate number of fine players. The coaching staff, as all will agree, is one of the finest Wilkes has seen in many years. Yet something was lacking that proved to be the downfall of t1-ie Colonels; spirit, morale, cohesion - possibly. We must recognize, of course, the fact that injuries greatly hampered the efforts of the Colonels. The Colonels dropped the season's opener to the Dutchmen of Lebanon 1P In the second grid contest the Colonels were overpowered in the Parent's Day thriller by the Moravian Greyhounds. Taking an early lead the Colonels stalled on several occasions later in the game to drop a close 14-10 decision to the visitors from Bethlehem. Against P.M.C. the gridders were stopped again in a hard fought contest that ended in a tight 15-12 defeat. Despite the efforts of fullback Ed Comstock, who produced a 52 yard touchdown run, the Colonels once again succumbed in a close decision. The Colonel gridders gained their initial victory of the season against 3 losses, by downing the Ursinus Bears 28-8. With fullback Gary Popovich and halfback Paul Purta accounting for all four Wilkes touchdowns the gridders exhibited an extremely strong running game to produce their first win. In the annual homecoming tilt the Colonels were downed by Drexel Tech despite a brilliant 67-yard TD run by quarterback Tom Trosko. With several key players on the injured list the ~~l~~~lsDfa~ l~ ~o l~c~t c~h~~~~i~~r Colonels were _unable to hal~ the Dragattack in a contest which resulted in on attack wh,ch resulted m a 23-14 a 13-6 loss. defeat. 0 Road Runners ~own Barre, 26-0, To Capture Intramural Crown Wilkes dropped their 5th game of the season by losing a bruising contest to the Juniata Indians. Hampered by an injury jinx which claimed many outsta nd ing players the Colonels again failed to reign victorious as they fell to Juniata by a score of 7-6. The Delaware Valley contest saw the Colonels produce a 19-13 victory in which Ted Travis-Bey scored two touchdowns. ;fhe Aggies almost retaliated to prevail due to two miscues that almost resulted in another Wilkes' defeat. In the final contest of the gr id campaign the Colonels were triumphant as they downed Haverford 14-0. Both touchdowns were scored in the second quarter. Quarterback Tom Trosko took a Haverford punt on the 23 and raced 77 yards down the sidelines for the score. Good blocking, especially a key one by halfback Frank Wallace, cleared the way for the score. In the final minutes of the first half, Wilkes marched 60 yards in a drive that featured a brillant aerial attack. With the ball on the four yard line Ted Travis-Bey bolted the remaining distance for the tally. BARONS CAGERS EMBARK ON 1963 - 64 CAMPAIGN; FEATURE LOCAL TALENT by Don DeFranco The Eastern Basketball League opens its 18th season tomorrow with a full slate of four games. This year the loop has expanded to eight teams, Wilmington being the newest franchise. The Wilkes-Barre Barons, local representative to the league, travel to Williamsport on Saturday to battl e the Billies, and return home on Sunday for a game with the Scranton Miners. Fans will see an almost compl etely new team this year, as only three former Barons are returning from last year's squ ad: Bob Keller, T ed Luckenbill, and Eddie Simmons. Howie Montgomery and Jack Johnson, stellar performers on last year's squad, have gone on tour with the wor ld famous Harlem Globtrotters. General manager, John Solovey, and coach Chic Craig have once again succeeded in signing some top-flight personnel, such as Jim Buckhalter, a 6'7" fo rmer Globetrotter who also played with the Cincinnati Royals of the NBA; center prospect Bob Wollard, a 6' 10½" giant obtained in a trade from Wilmington; and Jerry Nixon, jump shot artist from Lincoln University. Two area cage products have also inked to play with the local club. Clark Mosier of Dallas, is one and the other is Gene Gaurilia, released this season by the Celtics. The Barons have dropped two exhibition games as of this writing, bowing to the Williamsport Billies 106103, and to the Scranton Miners 127121. Wilkes-Barre travels to Williamsport tomorrow night for the opener for both teams. Road Runners - Champions of Intramural Football (Left to Right) First row .

I, for one, have emerged from that shattering experience with a renewed sense of pride in my adopted country. For it is obvious to me that, far from revealing any fundam ental weakness, these sad events helped to place in sharp focus and show to the whole world the essential soundness and invulnerability of our political structure as well as the basic maturity of the American people. The sudden and brutal slaying of the dynamic and beloved President Kennedy has not resulted in a paralysis or a dangerous administrative vacuum. The instant the late President died the country had a new Pres ident, the man who was elec ted by the peo ple for that very contingency and who had been well prepared for the assumption of his aweso me responsibilities. There were no behindthe-scene maneuverings, no secret machinations, no danger of a military takeover, no street demonstrations. The conduct of the American people during those momentous days when the world stopped to watch history unfold itself before our own eyes, was truly remarkable. H orrified and saddened to the very marrow of their being, our peo ple remained calm and dignified through the whole cruel ordeal. When asked if he would reappeal the decision, George Evancho, president of IDC, stated that "too much time has been wasted on needless discrepancy nominees.

There is no need to rehears e the melancholy events, or to bemoan once more the sheer senselessness of it all. My first reac tion, like that of other Americans, was one of utter horror, piercing sorrow, and burning shame. But now that those agonizing hours and days are behind us, it beco mes possible to go beyond the grief and indignation and attempt a less sanguine appraisal of that tragic weekend. Although the news came early that the accused assassin was a pro-Russia and pro-Castro Marxist, there were no outbursts of anti-Communist hysteria, no flag-waving or slogan-shouting street demonstrations, no war cries, no breaking of windows of Russian or Cuban embassies or consulates.

Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald. These deaths could have been avoided. In reviewing the events of that tragic week-end we are shocked at what we find. It appears that the Dallas police, through the use of simple precautions and common sense, could have prevented the tragedy. Prior to President Kennedy's arrival in Dallas, the FBI informed the Dallas police that Lee Harvey Oswald, who was on their subversive list, was in the city of Dallas. The police w.ere advised to keep track of his movements. This apparently was not done. On the day of the President's arrival, Dallas policemen were assigned to check the people entering and leaving buildings along !he presidential route. When Lee Oswald, the alleged assgssin, entered the building from which the fatal shots were fired, he 'was stopped by a policeman. At that time he was carrying a long package in which the FBI later assumed he carried the murder weapon. Oswald told the officer that he worked in the building and his package contained a window shade. The officer let him go through WITHOUT CHECKING THE PACKAGE. A few hours later John Kennedy was dead. When Oswald left the building he was again stopped by a policeman. Again he explained that he worked in the building. Again he was allowed to pass. A few hours later J. D. Tippit was dead. Oswald was finally arrested by the Dallas police. He was brought to Dallas police headquarters for Questioning. During the time he was being held there, the police department released statements to the effect that he was guilty of the assassination. These fanned the flames of public hate. The Dallas police, as a normal procedure, pr.epared to move Oswald to County Criminal Courts Building. Before they made final plans on how to move him, the FBI informed the police they had received a threat against Oswald's life. Instead of doing the logical thing and moving Oswald quickly and secretly, he was moved publicly, with advance notice. A crowd of newspaper and television reporters gathered to watch him being moved. In the crowd was Jack Ruby. A few hours later Lee Harvy Oswald was dead. When a human being is murdered it is a tragedy. When the President of the United States is murdered it is a catastrophe. This catastrophe was unnecessary. We don't wish to imply that the Dallas police department was solely responsible for the tragic events, but we can't help thinking that if the Dallas police had acted with reasonable competence and intelligence these horrendous acts would not have occurred.

Apparently, Mr. Frances is so active on the Assembly Committee that, in a recent interview with Dean Ahlborn, Mr. John Campbell was presented as the chairman. We wish to remove some misconceptions held by Mr. Frances. Before writing that "appalling article" concerning the ineffectiveness of compulsory assembly, we spoke with the aforementioned John Campbell cin the phone. We wanted a statement, written or oral, concerning the purpose of the assembly programs. We did not get it. The accusation made by Mr. Frances, i.e., that we wrote on something about which we know nothing, is untrue.

Alis Pucilowski Jeff Gallet RAvEs Why Not? * * * by Andrea T emplar WILSON THANKS ALL Why aren't you going to attend one of the two formal affairs held on our campus? We have the answer. Going to these affairs is like going to a high school prom. You can't take the gym out of gymnasium. No matter how you puff, powder, lipstick, or decorate a gym, those baskets and floor markings don't move an inch, but peep from their crepe paper and stare hideously over your shoulder. And the smell of a gym, however pleasant at a wrestling match, becomes disastrous at a dance. Chanel and sawdust just do not mix. The music. You've had those same bland, dance bands since your eleventh grade proms. You have had enough. In other words, you downright refuse to spend money on a fancy Friday night dance. You have to rent a tux and your girl appears in a black sheath. The whole degenerate situation of our formal affairs is not shameful, but disgusting. Answers Given We said we had the answers. Here they are: First of all, instead of trying to take the gym out of the dance, let's take the dance out of the gym. We don't need those baskets, and they don't need us. There are plenty of places to hold a formal : The Irem Temple Country Club, The Mansfield Ballroom, The Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. (Transportation to these places would be no more of a problem than it is for any dance date.) Instead of the usual bland dance band, we offer ballroom music, featuring Viennese waltzes, but including all types of modern dances. "Hold it," you say. " Waltzes?" Yes, waltzes. You sway for thirty seconds to three-four time, and the rest comes naturally. Now. We've taken our dance to a ballroom; we've given it beautiful music. We assume you're interested. What are you going to wear? We would like to see it become white-tie. Our reasons for this are both unusual and logical. First, we have never, in our memory at Wilkes, held a formal affair. (If you're an individualist, this is reason enough.) Secondly, black tie affairs have not proven themselves successful, anyway. Thirdly, almost every girl at Wilkes is harboring (or has access to) one floor-length gown. Whether anybody wants to admit it or not, long gowns make us feel more feminine and you more masculine, and there's no better arrangement than that. While white tie is not absolutely essential for this; we feel it will be beneficial because of our fourth and most important reason: The educational benefit derived from holding a truly formal affair. Broadens Experience Our education must touch on every aspect of our knowledge for future reference. Because it takes on the guise of a formal does not diminish its importance. In this world we are being prepared for through college, exists the practice of consummating business over formal affairs. Suppose your employer informs you that tonight at a formal dinner party you are going to bring about an important merger. You walk in feeling completely ill-at-ease be- I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who made the Thanksgiving All College Dance, sponsored by Student Government, a success. Dick French, Marie Shutlock, and Simon Russin headed the committees. John Loughney, Bob Deets, and Ron Czajkowski ably assisted. To Miss Millie Gittens and Mr. Art Hoover, chaperones, and to "Pop" Clewell, publicity, my special thanks. Harry W. Wilson Chairman ALL COLLEGE DANCE cause your white tie is too tight and your stick pin is stuck wrong, and you cower in the corner because you feel like a penguin in all-too unfamiliar attire. During this, just how do you intend to carry out intricate business manipulations. These are our logical answers. To say that most other colleges such as University of Pennsylvania, Oberlin, Scranton University have formal affairs would be superfluous, as would be the question - why must we leave Wilkes to have a "great" time at a formal affair. We would like to see the Cinderella Ball turned into a Viennese Ball. The subject will be open to your comments and criticisms through a survey to be taken especially for you. Our purpose is not to turn a formal hi-brow, but your-brow. TWO LEVELS OF IMPLICATION SEEN IN 1 WIikes College BEACON . ... .................. .......... Barbara A.

He is installed at a fashionable spa hot.el, and has started work on a new film (which sounds like the movie we're actually watching) while taking a rest cure. His writer is with him. His producer, his production staff and his star, Claudia, descend on him. He summons to the hotel, in turn, his mistress, Carla, and his wife, Luisa. 8-1;2 is a movie about making a movie, but it's also a movie itself (this obvious point, which we might at first have a tendency to forget, is given importance by Fellini who implicates the viewer in the action of the film). The artistic or creative process is the spine of the film; the questionable distinctions of illusion and reality ar.e the heart of the film. Fellini concentrates on the form of Guido's experience, and on the use to which Guido puts this experience. As to the form of Guido's experience: his experience is never just a simple thing; it's a minestrone of memory and madness, of fact and fantasy, of dream and desire. For example: when Guido sees a nurse, she is transformed into the girl of his dreams of innocence, and when he sees a solidly put-together, fleshly, woman, she is transformed into a prostitute of ancient memory. As to the uses to which Guido puts the form of his experience: it is important to state the question just this way. Most of us experience our experience. Guido makes use of it. In one sense, he plays an essentially passive role in his experience, in that he doesn't guide it; he lets it happen; and only later uses it, or acts on it. But in another sense, he dynamically and creatively participates in the experience, in that he uses it to support his im- aginative or filmic conceptions. He uses reality for imaginative purposes and these imaginative purposes in turn, serve the reality of his films. It's a nice irony. Life and art move in and out. For example: we see people trying out for parts (in the film Guido is about to make) that we have seen they have already played; excepting, however, that the parts they have already played were not parts to begin (Continued on Page J) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1963 Page 3 Ricki Hahn Selected Miss November Holiday Activities CHRISTMAS MUSIC TO BE F'E ATU 'R ED AT LAST 1963 ASSEMBLY, THURSDAY Continuing the tradition set in past years, the College Music Department wi ll present its annua l Christmas Ser1vice at next week's student assembly.

The writer, Jimmy Cannon, recalled nostalgic scenes of bygone days at the Garden and the restaurants and tap rooms which filled the bellies and quenched the hea rty thirsts of the pugs and ringsiders alike. He said that boxing was dying, not in those exact words, but that's what he was saying - and that's how it reall y is. Even the attempts at reviving the sport by switching the T .V. broadcasts back to Friday night could not provide new life and action, at one time captured in the canvas arena beneath the hot 1igh ts. country like the Garden on fi ght ni ght.

Up by Clark Line, Sports Ed itor Back then, in the middle of the century and before, when Dempsey, Louis, Tunney, Armstrong, Pep, and others were the big draws, boxing was a ritual - even a way of life. It is still a way of life today, but only as far as it brings in money to the pugilist. Golden Days In the golden days of organized boxing, from about the time of its birth with Sullivan to its boom in the Dempsey-Louis era, th e sport was characteristic of the nati on. A country fi ghting for world supremecy and survi va l and peo pled with men who were sometimes rough, sometimes ignorant, but always made of sturdy fiber.

The lead changed hands innumera ble times with the Barons down by only one point at the end of the third period. The Billies rallied in the fourth period, however, outscoring th e Barons 35-28. Bob Ke ller, the Barons leading scorer la st year and fifth hi ghest man in the league with a 27.8 average, dropped in 42 poi nts and comb ined with Ted Luckenb ill's 20 to pace th e squad. Juli us McCoy led the Billies with 43 points. Playi ng before a crowd of 3,000, the Barons lost their home opener to Allentow n Thanksgiving ni ght. The defendin g league champs overpowered the loca ls in handi ng th e Barons a 126-100 pasting. With standout Bob Keller sidelined for two weeks because of a pulled leg muscle, the Barons were unable to contend with th e fast break and deadly accuracy of the Jets. Allentown jumped to an early lead and held their margin throughout the ga me. Roman Turmon paced the visitors with 22 points, whi le Joe Roberts led the Barons with 21. Hometown favor ite, Clark Mosier, displayed his talents in the fou rth period as he dropped in 13 quick points. Saturday ni ght the Barons traveled to Allentown for a rematch with the Jets a nd were sent home with a 1171IO defeat. Poor foul shooti ng cost Wilkes-Barre a chance to wi n their first contest of the yea r as both teams made 44 goa ls from the field. The locals, however, hit on onl y 22 of 36 fouls attempted. Nowell and Buckhalter, with 28 and 20 points respectivel y, topped WilkesBarre, whi le Simon's 27 and Whitney's 25 headed the Jets. Sunday ni ght Wi lkes-Barre suffered its 4th st raight loss, a 122-1 04 drubbing by the Scra nton Miners. The contest eru pted into a slugfest as the two arch riva ls met at the Scranton CYC. The first period saw a batt le of the giants as 7' I" Bill Spivy and 6' 7" Joe Buckhalter exchanged a few punches. In the second period, Spivy aga in disp layed his " prowess", this tim e knocking out Tom Fitzmaurice with an elbow to the chest. In spite of these antics by th e Miners, the Barons bore the brunt of the punishment as they were called for 56 infractions to onl y 28 for Scra nton. Roberts' 22 points for W il kes-Bar re and Richi e Gaines' 27 for Scra nton were the team leaders. Recent acqui si tion, George Raveling, formerly of the Camden Bullets, dropped in 15 points fo r the Barons.

Maybe you're asking what I'm so interested in a lost cause for; or why I am writing about old stuff in a newspaper. It might be that I'm just rem iniscing and recalling the time my parents saw W illie Pep wearing blue suede shoes at a night spot in Hartford. That made Pep real to me and I idolized him. I wasn't very old when I saw him beaten - badly. T ears came into my eyes. I t h ink I would have felt that way even if I was older because I was part of the great spectacle of boxing. No one wants to be part of the spectacle anymore. So what, if in varying degrees the spectators, society, and even the crooks have left boxi ng to the vultures? And that's the whole argument. W e have big names today. Sonny Liston is only one colorful figure in the world of fi sti cuffs. He doesn't smi le, beats up on non-fi ghters as well as his ring opponents, and gets into trouble with the law. Liston is only one, but even though his number be increased . . . nobody cares.

Two years ago the Forum was organized by Mr. Gutin, who is still occupying the position of !'acuity advisor. The Forum meets every Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Chapman Hall. One of the major ideas the group would like to impress upon the students is their informality. They have only as many by-laws and rules as are needed. Keeping with the tone of informality there are no officers elected. The only recognized leaders seem to be Margi Harris and Linda Ewing, who take care of the refreshments. Mr. Gutin believes the Forum is an important means of training for the future. It gives the students a chance to give papers, that is, speeches, on topics in their chosen profession. There is no formal way of becoming a member of the Forum. Anyone who is willing to give one paper during the academic year can be a member. People other than members are also invited to attend the discussions. The meeting is opened by the featured speaker. Then a question and answer period follows, after which there is a genera l discussion of the topic. After the discussion, refreshments are served and the forum is closed. These meetings usually last about two hours. In th e forum so far this year, the students have discussed such subjects as: Mark Twain, The Power of the Major Jang Hae Kim, South Korean Army, Korea assignment - front line, duty-officer in charge of coordinating air and ground artilleries. During the course of this war, which could shape or sever a man's life at any instant, Kim's preparation for his future began without his actually knowing it. For his "excellent performance in combat line" and for his ninety five percent accuracy in direct hits, his country and government awarded Kim the Silver Star. But war is not si lver ornaments, "War is tragic," says Kim. Its coldness and futility manifested themselves for him in the last moments of that war. Here is his account. "North and South were informed that at JO p.m. on Armistice Day all fighting must cease. Minutes before the deadline every piece of ground and air artillery exploded as if incensed with animalistic, passionate rage. Never before had the fight been as loud, as desperate, as pathetically wicked. At 10 p.m., earpiercing si lence. Two armies came forth to face each other, openly, without arms; they stood on hills and watched.

'Forum' discussion in the round College Press, Highlights of German Literature, and The Meaning of Civil Rights. This past Tuesday's topic was A Presidents Death; it was given by Douglas Bennington. 'F OCUS to Discuss Value of Frats I by Carolyn Kaplan What is "Focus"? It is more than a radio program; it is a vehicle for selfexpression and a forum for free thought. It is a half hour devoted to the discussion of topics pertinent to our times. Twelve Wilkes College students participate in these discussions which are taped in Chase Hall and broadcast over WNAK every Sunday at I :30 p.m. These twelve students are divided into groups of four. Each Sunday a different group participates in a discussion. On December 15 Group three will discuss the question: Fraternities and Sororities-How Valuable are they to a College Education? Members of this 1;roup are Barbara Gallagher, Joh n Lore, Joe Klaips, and Jim Tredinnick. Moderator will be Arthur Hoover. In the past, the "Focus" panelists have tackled such controversial subjects as integration and civil rights, the tormented generation, and the proposed amendment to the state constitution to r,rant scholarships and loans to college students. Mr. Livingston Clewell, who is- the Director of Public Relations at Wil~es, is the creator and producer of "F~i;is". and understood a minia ture cross sect ion of th e U nited States as a whole. This is Kim the way he presents himself. But we went to Ashley Hall where he is proctor to uncover how the fellows feel about this modest man who is responsible for their behavior. The Quotes of five young men represent the _ dorm's feeling about Kim. Dick Burns said, "In his capacity, he more than offers governing advice in all matters. He is extremely interesting because he makes you realize there is a lot more to life than you would ordinari ly see." Highly Respected Al Gamble was emphatically direct , "Very interesting. Well organized. High character. Quite profound." Al Airola: He is a person whose op in ions you respect immediately. He sets exa111p les rather than just using words. It's hiird to say if it's more of an honor or a pleasure to have known him." Perry Sangston: "I have more respect for him than for any one else. I'd take his advice before any others. He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, and I'll never forget him." Jeff Gallet: "You never really know a person until you live with him. I've li ved with Kim for three and one half years in a great variety of situations. I have never known a finer man. There just isn't one." high-minded, and egg-headish. Mr. Gutin is trying to impress upon the students the invalidity of these beliefs. He says, "Dealing with ideas can be a pleasure, and coll ege students should Study, The Hom e The Forum deserves more credit and realize it." It was this feeling that brought Kim interest than it is now being given. Out Mr. Gutin is hoping for a larger turn- to Wilkes through his cho ice of eduof 1300 students there are 12 in the Forum.

At th e beginning of the semester, each new reporter accom pa ni ed on an assignm ent an experi enced reporter who instructed the cub in the proper method of gettin g a story effeciently as well as how to write it up. Secondly, in order to insure th e best possible coverage of certa in important areas on campus, one reporter has that same assignment, or " bea t," every week. It is believed that in thi s way he can esta blish a closer relati onship with the department, and thus, give it a more profess ional covera ge.

Hallmarks of high fashion some are candle slim; others gently full. Necklines are scooped, squared, or strapless. Waists are most frequently encircled by cummerbunds. Bodices are encrusted with rhinestones, embroidered with delicate flowers, or lavished with white sequins. Flattering shades include ice blue, a sugary pastel, champagne white, hot pink, American beauty red, and Kelly green. Ball gowns are accompanied by dyed to match heels, above the elbow gloves ( in white of course), and envelope clutch bags resplendent with sequins, beads, or tiny pearls and sometimes dyed to match the gown.

It is not gift giving, or going to parties, or vacations, or high-living, or having a good time. It is something deeper; something common to all sects, all religions, all mankind. It is a deep feeling of love and brotherhood. Everyone shows their best side. Courtesy and consideration become an important part of our daily lives . LETTERS TD EDITOR .

During this Christmas season, however, we have an excellent cpportunity to not only express gratitude to our parents for their aid and encouragement, but also to convey to them our many experiences, which lack of time has prevented us from doing throughout the year. Trivial as these events may have seemed to us, to our parents they constitute, perhaps, their only exposure to our campus experiences. executive council thought that due to the lack of response from class members in the past these proposed changes were a necessity for the smoother handling of class business. At this meeting, the proposed amendments were read, discussed and defeated. Speaking for myself, and I think also for other officers and executive council members, we are not discouraged. For the past year and a half, the class of '66 has remained a little stagnant. something to say and would not be railroaded into any situations is important. I hope that this enthusiasm will remain for the next two and a half years. Again, speaking for myself and the other officers and council members of the sophomore class, we were defeated; however, we plan to serve this class to the best of our ability as long as we are members of this class. Executive Council M ember Stuart Jed In forma l fashion is a strapless taffeta ball gown in hot pink. The floor length skirt is gently gathered at the waist. White sequins, rhinestones, and spa ngles embellish on the skirt a vine pattern. A beguiling creation is a ball gown of white satin. A decolote neckline dips into a slight V in back. The skirt is candle slim. Both bodice and skirt are encrusted with silver threading, tiny tassels, and embroidered delicate white flowers. Rhinestone earrings, above the elbow gloves, and satin clutch bag add the final feminine touch. A taffeta confection in Kelly green is a striking choice for that very special evening. It is unsleeved and the scoop neckline dips to a lower scoop in back. The bodice is designed with an OV!l,fblouse effect. In back a huge bo'w adorns the waist. Frankly feminine is an ice blue taffeta gown. The floor length skirt fa lls in soft folds from the waist. The overblouse bodice is edged in white sequins and silver beads. Regally stunning is a satin ball gown in American beauty red. The neckline is squared in front and back. The bodice insert is resplendent with multi-colored sequins. The fitted waist eases into a softly pleated skirt.

In view of the fact that each of our parents wil receive a copy of this issue, we feel that at least on this one occasion during the year, they will share the events which we have experienced throughout the year. The R epublican political picture has changed radically. Three weeks ago it appeared that Senator Goldwater was a fairly safe bet to get the Presidential nomination. His lib eral opposition was weak. Now , since the tragic death of President Kennedy, the Goldwater star seems to be on the descent.

There is only one man who fits this description - Henry Cabot Lodge. Lodge has an extensive background in government. He has been a state legislator, United States Senator, Ambassador to the United Nations, and is presently Ambassador to Viet Nam. Lodge gained national prominence first as a U .N. delegate and later as a VicePresidential candidate (without being hurt politically in the defeat of the Nixon-Lodge ticket). Lodge's main weakness is his spotty voting record in the U.S. Senate. He has been subject to attack along the lines of his statement made by N ew York Post columnist William V. Shannon.

MAILEY EXPLAINS THE IMPACT OF DALLAS READER COMMENTS Dear Editor: EDITOR'S NOTE - This column is a reprint of a story f irst run in the WEST SIDE NEWS, Dece mber 5, 1963. The tragic events of last week have given us time for so ber thinking and reflection. Many varied points have been rai sed on the drama of last week. I. Our Federal system being what it is ,there has been no Federal crime committed. Oswald's act was strictly a state act under our system of law. Under present conditions, there is no possibility that he could have been prosecuted for treason, for this act is specifically defined in the Constitution, which states that treason is a cri me against the U nited States and not against the States. Furthermore, it is def ined as "levying war agai nst them (the U.S.) or in "givin g the enemies aid and comfort." Moreover, a person cannot be so convicted except on the testimony of two witnesses to the overt act, or on confession in open court. If this act by Oswald was treason, it will never be known in view of his murder. 2. If a conspiracy to overthrow the government did exist, there is the possibility that Oswald could have been tried in the Federal jurisdiction under the Smith Act. While the States can still deal with sedition (Uphaus V. Wyman, 1959), the Supreme Court in two cases involving Pennsylvania laws (Hines Davidowiz in 1941 and Pennsylvania v. Nelson in 1956) , basing its decision on the doctrin e of "supersession" placed sedition and subversion in the U.S. jurisdiction. W e will never know wh ether or not the Oswald case was one that could have been tried in the U.S. jurisdiction . 3. A number of questions involving civil rights wo uld have arisen had Oswald been tri ed in either jurisdiction over the meaning of due process and fair procedure. Ri ght to counsel, imparti al jury, protection against self-incriminat ion, the atmosphere of an inflamed public opinion in Texas, coercion to obtain a confession, etc. would have taxed our judicial processses. Whether Oswald could have obtained counsel in view of the fact that his family had difficulty in obta ining a minister for hi s last rites will never be answered. The America n people will never know whether an impartial jury could have been selected for hi s trial, in view of the fact that the first reaction of most Am er icans was that " it served him ri ght." While every police officer is convinced that the circum~tanti al evidence was overwhelming in favor of convi ction, the courts will never decide whether it was enough. Convictions have been obtained on much less ev idence than that amassed against Oswald. Ti ghter Rules N eeded 4. The Dallas Police Department needs more than a tightening of its security rul es and regulations. It is impossible to permit hangers-on around a police station without affecting the effi ciency of the police force. The friend ly and chummy relations th at Ruby had with Dall as police spells a ruined image for police everywhere. What is the real basi s on which he is supposed to have known so m any Dallas policemen that he could walk into a security area without being ordered to leave? Any six-year old who watches TV thrillers knows that suspects such as Oswald are moved at unusual hours when people least expect it. Was it the press and TV that insisted on bri ght daylight? 5. Just what is the role and function of th e newspapers, TV, and radio? Is it to replace the criminal investigation of competent and professional police offi cers? The reporters certainl y did that last weekend. Is it to psychoanalyze peop le to determine what in their makeup or past hi story ca uses assassinations and murders? The TV boys certainly acted like amateure psychiatrists. Is it the role of a press or TV reporter to pry into the pri vate li ves of people who have been saddened by tragedy? They certainly entered the homes of such soul s. Bringing a TV camera into the kitchen of the Dallas police officer's home to interview his wife and family was cruel, inhuman, and devi od of respect for those poor people. T o scoo p a competitor in a story has its outer bounds - when people are sadd ened by tragedy and shock and th ey want to be alone to pray. To be with God at such a time is a private matter, and not a tripartite conference including God, the bereaved , and the newsman. Texas 'Enemy' T erritory 6. A point has been made that more security precautions should have been taken since T exas was "enemy" territory to the President. If those in charge of securin g the safety of th e Pres ident failed to round up Oswald and deta in him until the President had departed, or if he was cleared aft er hi s record was reviewed, then a compl ete over-hauling of the organizati on and personnel so charged is of paramount importance. But it is one thing to revise security regulations, and still another to ex pect to shut the President away from th e public that elected him. One of the ri sks that a democrati c society runs is that its official s must li ve lmder conditions tr.at are public necessarily fraught with dangers. No public offi cial can refuse to expose himself to the people who elected him. Whi le a distinction ca n be made between a public official's private life and public life, nevertheless it is on the basis of his public image that he is elected. It was on the basis of the activities (parades, speeches, hand sha king:, etc.) that the Pres ident was enj oy ing in Dallas that he was elected to the Pres idency. Therefore, fo r both the philoso phic and the practical reasons, our Pres idents must appear in public. 7. The media of communi cations - press, TV, and radio - did a remarkabl e jo b of giving the American people an opportunity to share the inside drama of hi story as it was being acted on the stage. But, the medi a is not without its failings. Nor, is it the sacred cow of American institutions that it should not shoulder a share of the responsi bility for what transpired. If newspapers and TV insist on taking credit for enlightening the public. they must also assume t he blame for fanning the flames of hate and venom by their vitriolic statements. How about the responsibility of th e press, radio, and TV in a city where the people had manhunted Lyndon Johnson and hi s wife in 1960, spat on U.S. Ambassador to the U N, Stevenson, and whic'1 has been known as a hotbed of dtra-conservatism? Specificall y, why did th e Dallas News take that ad against the Pres ident of the U.S.? Home for Extremists Dallas has been known as the home for extremi sts of al l persuasions. The people of tb e City have shown an inability to maintain a condition of temperate discussion. Furthermore, the habit of intemperate speech has been deepened in Dall as by th use of the mass media. Vituperati on of the President by a hostile press tend to influence people who are suggestible, who can easily displace to the person of the President all th e hates and fears they have against other people. It was in this atmosphere of violence and hatred that the assassin l ived feeling alienated against all humanity. The climate of Dallas - helped in its creation by th e press and TV - was conducive to murderous thoughts. Th e press has got to learn that there is a difference between a free press and a responsi ble press. TV has got to learn that unrestrained speech is inherently subversive. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRESS AND TV TO PROHIBTT ITS USE TO THOSE WHO CREATE A DISREGARD FOR AUTHORITY AND GRADUALISM. I can't tell you h ow much I enj oy and appreciate reading the "Wilkes College Beacon ". This fall's issues are rea ll y outstanding. The editorials are thoughtful, timely and provocative. The reprinting of Dr. Vujica's guest editorial on the front page of the recent issue of the "Beacon" is an excellent idea. His message is the finest that I have seen anywhere in reaction to die trag ic loss of our late President. • Pirandello's 'It Is So' by Alis Pucilowski, Jeff Gallet The performance of Mary Russin, as Si gnora Proia, the " insane" moth er-inlaw, in the Cue and Curtain presentati on of Lui gi Pirandello's It l s So If You Thin k So, was magnificent. Wh en Miss Russin came on stage, one could feel a bored audience snap to attention. When Miss Russ in left the stage, the spell was broken. That she should give such a fine performance is certai nly no surpri se. Her acting in such vehicles as Enemy of the People and The Music Man was impressive. Pirandello's play appears to be a scathing attack on goss iping for gossip's sake. One is left with the idea that PirandelJ o consid ers goss ip th e root of evil. He defends a family's ri ght to privacy. H owever, this potential was lost through Pirandello's weak hand)ing of c!1aracter and dialogue. Against th ese defects, Dick French performed admirably in hi s first role at the college. French shows the type of talent that Director Groh has a reputation for developi ng to its utmost. Durin,r the two hours traffi c of the stage, Mike Mostell a, gave a rather pedestrian performance. However, one must note the burden of poor characterizati on he was forced to bear. His un expected display of emotion in one of the final scenes revea led a surge of feeling for the personality he represented. Marc Hirschm an, who has shown the a bilit y to do better, performed hi s part in an authoritative manner that the sub~ta nce of hi s character did not warrant. In contrast to this, Dianne Alfaro, as his wife. exempl ied the low key in ,,,hic11 a role of th is type should be played. As thf' daughter, Miss Sylvia Du tcher, in her first trip to thi s stage, fell. Mr. Stephen Gavola, playing the middle-aged, Italian goss ip, portrayed hi s character with great gusto, a gusto which at times overfl owed in to the lines being delivered by the other actors. The rest of the cast gave adequate, if not inspired, performa nces. Special attr.,tion should be given to Darlene Moll, whose facial expressions were apposite; and Iris Collins. whose pertinent role wa.s handled with skill. Bill Pucilowski aga in effected set designs of the hi gh est calibre, allowing Director Groh a wider range of interpreta1ion. • (Co ntinue d from Page 5) D im Crepe for Cocktails Russin Resplendent In Sincerely yours, R ev.

In th e midst of a peri od of rebuilding, the team is lackin g in experi ence in the heavier we ights and is left with freshmen to occupy the 157, 177, and heavywe ight classes. In the opening session Coach John Reese was faced with an unexpectedly poor turnout created wh en ma ny excellent prospects, whom he was ant icipatin g, fa iled to make an appeara nce. U nfortunately the team is looking forward to a long, hard season due to th is lack of enthusiasm as displayed by the non-support of potentia ll y excellent grapplers. Not all is di scouraging, however, since th e team is st renghthened by the return of fi ve lettermen. Among these are two outstanding grapplers, Ned McG inley and Brooke Yeager. McGinley who holds dow n the 123-pound slot, ranked third last year in th e 11 5pouncl d ass of the NAI tourn ament and second in the Wilkes Open Wrestling T ourney. Now a sen ior, N ed has performed admira bl y in the past and has contributed numerous victories to the Colonel squad. Wh at is remarkable about Ned, in additi on to h is w inning, is the fact th at in college he is giving h is opponents a dec ided we ight advantage, as ev idenced by his wrestling in the ! IS- pound class in the Open. W it h his knowledge of the moves and possession of speed Ned makes up for his lack of weigh t and controls hi s often stronger adversari es. Brooke Yeager, returning after a year of a bscense is another asset to th e team. Occupyin g the 130-pound class, Brooke also wrestl es a bove his actual weight. In the past he received the outstanding MAC award for the 123-pound class. Brooke's skill and maneuverability has greatl y helped the team in th e past and most assuredly w ill be of grea t value in the future. strong competition from schools wh ich in the past were of litttle worry. The Colone ls have a real challenge facing them, but with th e strong determinati on th ey possess, they should produce a victorious season. Also among the top eliminators is John Gardner, wh o fill s th e 167-pound slot. John produced a cham pionship in the MAC tourney in hi s freshman year and has greatl y added to the Colonels strength. Brooke Y eager Scranton clouts Wi,·kes After Colonels Bow to Ithaca; Lose 4 in a Row It looks Iike another rough year for the Wilkes cagers as the Ferri smen made it 4 losses in a row at Scranton on Mond ay ni ght. The Royals pasted Wil kes in a 108-51 runaway which saw Scranton in front 49-24 at halftime. For Scranton U ., Witaconi s was hi gh with 22 points. Joe Chanecka paced t he Colonels with 14, while Jim Vidunas dropped in 10 counters.

Up by Clark Line, Sports Editor N aism ith's Brainchild Basketball was in vented by Dr. James A. Na ismith in 1891, although the first ga me was not played until January 20, 1892. The ga me is completely Am erica n, havin g no predecessor in any other coun try. It originated at th e Y.M.C.A. College in Springfi eld, Massachusetts as a mea ns of curtai lin g the dwindling enthusiasm in gymnas iums, where th e order of the day was calistheni cs and we ightlifting - both of whi ch becam e extremely boring after a time. Basketball was devised as an old man's game ori ginally, by its lack of body contact. At the time of its birth it was considered a sissy sport, and many of its enthusiasts were a bused bo th verbally and physically. Yet, basketball players proved their ruggedn ess in post- ga me brawls, and th e , port ga ined popularity until today it ranks as the foremost spectator sport wi th more th an 20 million participants throughout the world. The reasons fo r its popularity are its fl exi bility, its a bility to be played outdoors or indoors, asd the indifference to age. In add iti on their are no sex limitati ons. Furthermore it appeal ed to the youth more th an to the older generati on for which it was designed due to the im portance of speed and agil ity, m upled with skill. N a ismi th did away with the carryi ng of !he ball as in foo tball, and thus lay- ed down the basic premi se of the ga me - the negation of roughness caused by body contact, since there is no need for tackling. A final interestin g oddity is a solo game played by Pat McGee of St. Peter's Hi gh School in Fairmont, W est Virgini a. McGee's teamates fouled out of a game between the seni ors and juniors of St. Peters, and he was left alone on the court to carry on th e game wi th fo ur m inutes rem aining and the score ti ed 32-32. McGee scored a goa l and a fou l and th en held off his opponents to win tre game 35-32. W res tl in g H as Lon g History Wrest ling looms as one of the oldest orga ni zed sports in the world, hav ing had its ea rli est ori gin among th e cavemen. The old timers found a practical need for wrestling as a means of selfpreserva ti on, and conducted practice sessions within their Families. Dr. S. A. Speiser and hi s party of researchers from the U n iversity of Pennsylvan ia uncovered so me tablets in the Middle East which make wrestlin g as a. sport a bout 5,000 years old. The Greeks engaged in w restlin g matches, and the participants in the sport were revered throughout the world. As the Greeks developed a taste tor more acti on, Pa ncreat ium came into bein g. Perh a ps pand emonium would be a more fittin g word. Pancreat iu m was a ~cratching, bit ing, gouglin g, no holds barred type of wrestling.

The team is sufferin g from a signed a tedious task. Making something of what he has inherited will be quite a job. Rebuild ing, however, is something th at is not new to him. After taking over the helm of the soccer team, he has greatly improved their record. It is hoped, with a great deal of confidence, that he will do the same with the basketball team. The cage team under previous coach Eddie Dav is managed to win on ly five games in the past two campai gns. Last season the team won two and lost twenty for a .097 average, the lowest in their conference. C oach Ferr is Jack Ba rnes should better its past records for the last three years. Having an ample supply of swimmers in each event except the butterfly, the team is looking fo rward to giving it's opponents a hard t ime in each event. Brighetest member of the tea m is Ca pta in Jack Barnes, who holds th e pool record for the 25-yard free style event and was voted the outstanding swimmer fo r th e past two years. Also returning is letterm an Ron Masters who was selected as the outstandin g di ver of th e T eam last year. Last Saturday, the Colonels lost to Ithaca 98-66. The Bombers un leashed an attack which ga ined them a halftime lead of 50-29, using the bench heav il y later in the evenin g.

The Colonels wi ll be idle until aft er the Christmas holidays, when they meet Phi ladelphi a Pharmacy on Janua ry 7 at home.

Evolution of S wi m min g Those swimming enthusiasts among us, and es peciall y th e members of th e Wilkes College Swimming Club, should be interested to know th at swimmin g as a word ca me from th e Old English "swi mm in", and that th e sport of swimmin g ori gin ated, in modern civili za ti on, with the E nglish . A boo k entitl ed "The Complete Swimmer", by Guy Larcon and H arold S. U len, stated th at competiti ve swimming bega n a bout 1837, in London. The first contests were spo nsored by lhe " Nati onal Swi mmin g Society in England". In 1844, North Am erican Indi ans participated in an English meet. Flyin g Gull won the event with a hi ghl y unorthodox, un-European "windmill" stroke whi ch feat ured "grotesque antics." Actually, th is was probably the first public ex hibit ion of th e crawl stroke. The English, who were not concerned with speed, had been accustomed to the breast stroke, wit h vari ations of th e side stroke. The crawl ori ginated with the nati ves of South Amer ica and the South Seas. A ma n by the name of ). Arthur Trugen (so metim es Trudgeo n) introduced th e stroke whi ch was descr ibed as a double overhand, and eventually came to bea r hi s name. The Australian crawl was developed as such by Frederi ck Cavill and hi s fa mily, who incorporated the nati ve kick wi th the overh and stroke. Syd Cav ill was hJ red by th e San Francisco Ol ympic Club to train swimmers. Charles M. Daniels saw Cav ill in action and, in order to avoid bein g a copy cat, revised the kick and developed the Amer ican crawl. With his hybrid stroke, Dani els ti ed th e world 100 mark in 1906, with a time of 57.6 seconds. In March of the sa me yea r, he set a new record of 56 seconds, and then broke hi s own mark with a 54.8 second t ime. In 1862, the growth of swimming as a competiti ve sport necessitated direction by the Associated Swimming Clubs organi zation. In 1869, the Amateur Swi mm ing Associat ion of Grea t Britian too k over th e reigns with auspices over 300 clubs. The peri od from 1869 to 1890 is rath er vague as to the activities of the cl ubs. But during that period, in 1875, Capta in Mathew W ebb, of England, became the first person to swim the English Channel. If you desire any furth er enli ghtenmen t on the subj ect, you can get in touch with a fellow by the name of Lea nder something-or-oth er, who was last seen heading fo r the bottom of the H ellespont. Just in case Lee didn't resurface, you can fi nd Jack Barnes at the bottom of th e YMCA pool at 4 o'clock, and the "Y" is much closer than t he Hellespont. �Page 10 Friday , December 13 , 1963 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Sports Staff Honors Athletes With BEACON Fall Sports Awards Barons End Losing Streak With Wins Over Billies and Mercuries Don DeFranco Winebrake, Trosko & Morgan Gain Nod In Football and Soccer Shakeup By Craig Seen Responsible For New Life In Local Club The Beacon Sports Staff has decided to add one more award to the num erous honors availa ble to cam pus athletes fo r the ir efforts in th e various sports.

Roosevelt was in the White House.

Andrew H our igan Time Changes Made In Class Schedules by Alis Pucilowski Many ch anges were recently made in the registrati on schedul es compl eted by the stud ents. Mrs. Ri a Frijters, program director of data processing in the va lley, h as announced that of the 1,273 schedules submitted, roughly 400 were changed. None of these changes, she explained, were mad e on an arbitrary bas is. Consideration was given to every deta il involved in the student's academic life. No Class Changes Mrs. Frijters explained that n o class changes were made, but the students' desired sections were. This was done to all ow each teacher of the same subject to have a pproximately the sam e amount of students. For example, if four hundred students were to take English 102 and if there were ten teachers offer ing th is course, each teacher would be given forty students. If more than forty students registered fo r one sect ion, thus creating an overload for one teacher, the "extra" students were pl aced in different sections in an orga nized manner. The distance traveled by the student and the time of hi s other courses were taken into considerati on. If th e stud ent did not register for any 8 a. m. classes, Mrs. Frijters explained that her crew tri ed whenever possihi e to keep th at hour open for the student. Moreover, if the student did not schedule any classes for one day, thi s was likew ise catered to. Mrs. Frijters asks that those stud ents who have phys ical educati on check with th e respect ive teachers because of sli ght vari ati ons wh ich were made on th e students' schedul es because of confli ct ing courses. An example follows: A stud ent registers for section H of physical educa ti on, which offers bowling at 8 a.m. on Thursday and gym (Continued on Page 3) NOTICE Students please refrain from usi ng the parking lots at Gore Hall and at the corner of South and S.

Johnson's decision to appear at tomorrow's convocation exercises caused a furor on campus is a tribute not only to her position as First Lady but also to her personal appeal as a challenging, interesting woman. It would seem that th e Cue and Curtain Society has so far put forth a rather disappointing year. Starting out with I Spy and C ecile, Cue and Cur- _ tain recently produced It Is So, If You Think So leaving a bitter-sweet taste in this person's mouth. Apparently li ght comedy is not Cue and Curtain's forte. Rumor has it that a Shakespeare production is in the offing. One can only wonder what the result will be. We only hope that our "northern hospitality," sure to be touched by her "southern charm" will successfully convey our pleasure that she has given us this opportunity. GREAT EXPERIENCE To criticize Cue and Curtain is not the intent of this letter. The organization certainly does a marvelous job in providing excellent entertainment and experi ence for bot h audience and actors. H owever, perhaps a more judicious choice of play, and more careful casting would resu lt in productions reminiscent of last year's Look Back in Anger. In all honesty, with the exception of Cecile, Cue and Curtain's casts have not been provided with the best of veh icles. HOPEFU L The prese nce of so many illustrious persons - Mrs. Johnson, Governor Scranton, Dr. Graham, Mr. Shapp and a host of local dignitaries - will undoubtedly focus national attention not only on the Convocation and the dedication of our million dollar research center, but also on the community of Wilkes-Barre itself. Their interest will illustrate to both local and out of town residents the importance of the work of the Redevelopment Authority and the progress that a small community in a "de pressed area" is making in the realm of advanced learning. ouri) and 18 other senators. The main purpose of the bill was to grant the public and the press increased access to the records of government agencies and to solve some of the numerous complaints against government managed news. The fact that these important people took time out from their busy schedul.es to take part in this weekend's activities leads the rest of us to take a closer look at the significance of the event. But perhaps more important is the intangible gift that they hav-~ brought to us, in the area of human experience and relationships. Probably never before in the history of the College has there been such visible exhilira tion on campus; so much excited attention c_o ncentrated on campus activities by both students and non-students. The exhiliration and spirit spread by the vitality of these visiting people, as well as the entourage of associates and communications men who invariably accompany them, is infectious . The experience of meeting these people who "make the news" in our world is not only a valuable and an exciting one but also an educational experience for the average student 1;LJhich is unattainable in any textbook. • • 1dl,e1t DISAPPOINTED Dear Editor: Thus we eagerly await meeting her for both reasons .

All final agency opin ions and statements of policy would be made available for inspection and copy. A current index would be kept of all opin ions, rules, and orders. In addition times, places, and procedures for inspection of records would be specified. Perhaps the most important of all provisions in the bill is that the Federal Courts can order the production of improperly held records.

The real reason seems to be that MacMillan, afraid of public displeasure, decided to withdraw the book rather than risk carrying an unpopular one. Th is is not meant as a defense for Lasky's book, which is at best undistinguished. It is rather a reaction to the wave of fear that came over me when I reali zed that after MacMillan's action not one ripple of disapproval was heard, not one word. Right to Dissent One of the cornerstones of our way of life has always been the right to dissent, the right to voice an unpopular opinion. I am not saying that the dissenter was welcomed with open arms in the past. He wasn't. But he was tolerated. He was allowed to speak. The argument comes up that people have not changed. In past times society would have done the same thing. But it could not. It was not mobilized. This was before the days of radio and television, of Gallup, Roper, Nielson. and Harris, of mass transportation, of printed but in having it distributed and read. As a political science student, I cannot read the publications of either the far left or the far right without the fear of getting my name on some black list that will come back to haunt me in t r. e future. I know of a co llege newspa per which bega n to receive copies of communist propaganda. Along with the literature ca me a ca rd from the United States government explaining that what the paper was receiving was communist propaganda and asking the editor if hP. wished to continue receiving it. The editor answered that he would. The edit or has since expressed misgivings about thi s. This should not have happened. A college editor should not have to fear examining all sides of an issue. The theory behind our poli tical and educational systems is the free exchange of ideas. This means all ideas, not just those passed by a censor. Wilkes -Barre C en sors The most dangerous of all censors is the private self-appointed type. Soca lled decent literature groups are of ideas? If they do they are wrong. It is ludicrous to defend fr eedom by attacking it, to secure fr eed o m by taking it away. If di ssent in print is difficult, di ssent on the airways is impossible. Not only is political di ssent discouraged but political dissenters have difficulty taking part in any radio or television activiti es. Peter Seeger, long considered one of the nation 's leading folk singers, is never seen on television and rarely heard on radio. The reason given is that Seeger has "communist connections." This situation is not getting better. It is getting worse. It will continue to get worse until the public does something about it. It is about time community and civic groups stop stifling new ideas and rather encourage their free flow. It is about time for students to become exposed to these ideas, particularly on the college level. Ideas contrary to our own should be discussed rather than censored beca use di scussion and not censorship is the way to preserve the Ameri ca n system. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, January 10, 1964 Page 3 Clewell Originates New Te I e vision Pro CJ ram i Applications for Finnegan Scholarship Talent Of Fourteen Area Colleges To Be Featured Available for Govt.-Minded Students by Lois Petroski "Varsity-Accent on College," a completely new television program embracing the talent of 14 northeastern Pennsylvanian colleges and universities, will make its debut on Sunday, January 12.

In Finnegan's M emory This foundation, which has enabled over fifty-nine students to fulfill summer internships at the State Capitol, is a memoriam to the late James A. Finnegan. At the time of h is death Mr. Finnegan was the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was President of the City Council of Philadelph.ia in 1951 and served as National Campaign Mana ger for Ad lai Stevenson in the 1956 Presidential campaign. Knowing the va lue of education, he spent much of his tim e helping young people to continue with thei r studies.

Those p)ans already on the agenda fo r next semester include a trip to New York in April, fo llowing the tax season, to visit various accounting firm s. At such time, members will be given an opportunity to observe the activiti es they some day hope to become a part of. In March , representati ves of the Ge neral Accountin g Office in Washington will be the guests of the Account ing Club at one of its regularly scheduled meetings.

According to Co-cha irmen, Fred Smithson and Ruthie Schimm elbusch, th is year's event should be the best of severa l very successful Winter Carnivals. The affa ir is scheduled fo r Friday, January 31, at Buckhill Falls in the Poconos. As in previous years, the tickets are being sold for $1.50 each. Winter Sports For the bravest of the brave, skiing faci lities will be available. The lifts, wh ich will be operating from 10 a.m. unti l 4:30 p..m., ca n handle up to 2,000 persons an hour. Therefore, there should be plenty of room for you on the slopes. Skis and equipment are $3.50 and up; thi s includes the use of the lift. If you own your own skis, the only fee is the $2.00 charge for the use of the lift. Incidentall y, previous Winter Carniva lites give thi s advice: Don't be afraid to try skiin g just because you're a beginner; everyone has fun learning. If figure skating is one of your outstanding accomplishments, you can enjoy th e skating rink at the Falls, wh ich covers an area of 22,000 sq uare feet, an increase in size since last year. Skating is free if you bring your own skates. If you prefer to rent skates, the charge is 55 cents. For those winter sports enthusiasts who are afr a id to ski and ca n't skate, sledd ing fac ilities will also be avai la ble. The use of the sleds h as been included in the price of the ticket, which mi ght account for th e fact that at th e last two carni va ls, sledding h as re- ported ly been second in popularity to sk iing. Snow{lake Queen The hi ghli ght of th e day will be the crowning of the Snowfl ake Queen. This event will take place in the afternoon at th e skat ing rink. Details concerning the "coron ation" are not complete at th e tim e, but the Committee hopes th at the use of a PA system and television coverage _:;viii add interest and excitement to this part , of the day's program.

In reference to this same subject, he was asked about Senator Margaret Chase Smith's potential as a presidential candidate and replied that she was remarkably able and a good speaker and that he hoped she would follow through with her intention to run - if it is her intention Continuing along national lines, the reporters queried the Governor on the Panamanian situation. In his answer, Scranton, although stressing that he was not well versed in the background of the problem because of his recent busy schedule, commented that he concurred with the action taken by the President. His reason was that we must preserve our rights in the Canal Zone. When queried about the proposed sale of wheat to the Russians, Scranton saw no reason why we should not get rid of our surplus as long as it does not endanger our security but he definitely feels that the power of interpretation of this bill should be put into the hands of the President rather than the legislative body. Turning to state issues, Governor Scranton explained his position on the proposal to change the unemployment compensation laws. The changes supported by the Governor would reduce the amount of benefits to certain workers, as well as the length of the period during which benefits would be paid. i;It gave two major reasons for the necessity of this action. First, he noted that in some cases the Pennsylvania rate of employer contributions is the highest in the nation. He felt WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. that this high rate was an important stumbling block to the state's acquisition of new industries. Secondly, and more important, he reminded us that the state had borrowed heavily from the federal government during the previous eight years and that the already dangerously low reserve fund would not be able to repay this debt. In response to a question on federal and state aid to education the Governor replied that he was happy to see an increase in such aid, but that he thought more was necessary, particularly on the high school and college levels. The interview was concluded at this point so that the Governor could resume his busy schedule. Wednesday, January 15, 1964 rirsl Lady Con1mends NelV Research Center; Graham Discusses Area Redevelopn1enl by Lois Petroski and Alis Pucilowski The convocation and dedication of the research center highlighted by the appearance of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, began at approximately 2:40 p.m. when the Academic Procession entered the gymnasium. As Dr.' Eugene S. Farley escorted Mrs. Johnson to the stage, she received a standing ovation. The Reverend Jule Ayers then proceeded to deliver the Invocation. Congressman Daniel Flood was introduced by Dr. Farley to an ov erflow aud ience of approximately two-thousand people. The Congressman opened his speech with th e remark that "there was a time wh en the possibility of having two democrats on the same stage was almost unthinkable." The day's circumstances made th e Honorable Mr. Flood quite happy. Congressman Flood introduced Dr. Frank P. Graham , U . N. Representative to India and Pakistan, and chairman of the Area Redevelopment Administration. Dr. Graham congratulated Dr. Farley as "a dynamic leader in the renaissance of the anthracite region. The speech delivered by Dr. Graham was entitled "Regional Rede velopment as a National and International Challenge in Our World of Peril and Hope." It included a survey and discussion of the ten main regions within the sovereignty of the United States. Dr. Graham remarked that "Basic and general education are needed to equip youth, and the people, to develop victorious personalities, civic understanding, social and spiritual ins ights as citizens and spiritual beings." He proc ee ded with the explanation of the new needs of vocational education which , he said, must now be oriented to include "industrial. commercial. technical. civic and social skills to meet the needs of a growing society." He cited Massachusetts as an example of the valu es of education as a bulwark against becoming a depressed area. tific research as a center for the renExpounding upon her husband 's aissance of the anthracite region of statement that "the nation cannot afPennsylvania and beyond." ford poverty," Mrs. Johnson said that a student lost to poverty represents a After Dr. Farley's introduction, Mrs. loss in future strength.

Scranton, Busby Optimistic About Valley by Joe Klaips and Charlotte Wetzel At Friday evening 's convocation ex ercises, Governor William Scranton and Mr. Jack Busby , president of P ennsylvania Power and Light Co. , discussed th e topic of "Regional Dev elopment." Mr. Busby, first speaker for the evening , began with congratulatory remarks directed to Dr. Eugene S. Farley for the fin e work he has done in helping th e dream of a graduate research center become a reality . In his ~peech on "Industry and Regional D evelopment" , Mr. Busby pointed out that there is general agreement that th e area should s trive to revitalize its economy through the expansion of diversified industry. Busby stated . that, although the community is apt to view its situation as grave. it should realize that its economic position has recently been improving. "As we view the recent past, we can properly take great encouragement from the fine progress that has been made. The region as a whole has broken away from that grim pattern in which, year after year, the record has shown decrease after decrease in employment." Although , as Busby pointed out, th ere has been an increase in employment, more rapid gains in employment are being sought. As a solution to this problem Busby pointed out live underlying questions that would be involved: "Do we meet the basic requirements for industrial growth? What are our local environmental nee ds? What kind of industry are we after? What is our top priority need in the region? What must we mainly rely on in rebuilding our regional economy?" In elaborating upon these points, Mr. Busby said , "The disappointments in industrial and regional development are those that come about wh en a region , or a community, under-values its own worth and commits its limited resources, perhaps all of the resources available for a considerable period of time, to a marginal undertaking. All too often, having risked everything on a poor gamble, the community and its citizens lose all then invested or, at best, gain only marginal benefits." Busby had the following to say about the College Research Center: "Communities and regions that build quality into their structure, as typified by thi s Science Center, can attract and can hold out for industries of good quality which have sound prospects for future Qrowth." Busby closed by revealing some of the future plans of PP&L, including th e investment of $500 million in ma chinery and equipment to replace old facilities over th e 10 ·year period from l 964 to 1973. Governor Scranton, prior to delivering his address, presented a signed agreement to Dr. Farley for a $15,000 research project in the anthracite mine drainage field. This agreement between the State and the Research Center brings the total research contracts to between $150,000 and $200,000. Selecting "Regional DevelopmentA State Challenge" as his topic, Governor Scranton continued Mr. Busby's trend of optimism . "It is common to refer to our region as ·a depressed area.' Certainly we have our economic problems , but in matters of the spirit we are not depressed." Quite to the contrary, "the economic challenges of the past decades have renewed our faith and our conviction that the coal region is a good place in which to live." Regional strength, Scranton point~d out, is the bas is upon which to solve development problems. "As you !fee, the idea of regional development js to me a most exciting one. If there were a single unifying cord to the activities which we as people are waging to achieve a better future , I would say that regional development might provide such a unity. It is involved with all our problems, and all our problems are involved with it." In closing, Governor Scranton saluted those persons responsible for the establishment of the Research Center, and assured the college it would be more steps, such as this one taken on the campus, that would lead the drive for regional development in Pennsylvania. Shapp, Carpenter E1-nphasize Education by Carolyn Kaplan and Barbara Simms Doctor Eugene Farley was host to th e approximately 280 people who attended the "special invitation" luncheon held at the Commons on Saturday. Speeches by Mr. Donald F . Carpenter, retired manager, Films Departmept, E . I. Dupont and Company, and Mr. Milton J. Shapp highlighted th e affair. They spoke on the afternoon's theme, "Education, Research, and Economic Development." Mr. Shapp stressed that education and educational institutions play an ever-increasing role in today's econ-· omy. He feels that we must invest our energies in developing the human mind and its potential. Shapp pointed out that only five out of one hundred •jobs are open to the unskilled. Therefore, the com- munity needs educated, skilled, employable people. Industry, he stressed, looks for a trained labor force when selecting a site for a new plant. That is why this new center is so important. In conclusion, Mr. Shapp stated that education has a tremendous impact on the economic development of any part of the United States. Mr. Carpenter expanded on the subject of research and industrial development as related to Wyoming Valley. He stated that research is important, "but of greater importance are the men and women who have done this research. They have learned by doing, . . . they have been important factors in revitalizing old industries as well as creating new ones." He feels that it is significant that Wilkes College developed at a time when the need and desire for higher learning was growing, and that the College, especially with its new grad uate and research center, will provide extensive training and the specialized facilities that are needed, as well as leadership in development. Carpenter conduded with the statement: " Gentlemen, you have the need, you have the people, you have the leadership, and now you have the facilities to meet that need. I congratulate you ." �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Wednesday, January 15, 1964 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW EDITORIALS LEST WE Dr. Graham Stresses Education, Cooperation FORGET by Marshall Evans Although we have been honored during the past weekend by visits from many dignitaries , both on the regional and national level, we must be careful not to overlook the reason for their visits or the true significance of the weekend's events. We are referring, of course, to the fact that w e were honored by the presence of many guests because of our dedication of the Graduate Research Center. Not only should we realize that the center will attract new industry to this area, but also we should be aware of the fact that the establishment of this research center is another step forward in our free educational system. In a n after-dinner discussion with D ean George Ral ston, Th e Rev. Dr. Jul e Ayers , and Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Dr. Frank Graham revealed many of his views on both local and national matters. A most fascinating person, Dr. Graham did not dodge any questions , and always gave straightforward answers. He is liberal-minded, believing that every individual has the right to express his own opinion and to be heard. Commenting on the Area Red evelopment Administration, Dr. Graham had many words of praise for Congressman Daniel Flood, particularly for his long and difficult efforts in bringing about thi s Administration under the " Flood-Douglas Bill. " In his s peech Satu rday afternoon, Dr. Graham stated: Th e A . R . A. . . . seeks and hopes, wisely, in response to community initiative, to provide .. . cooperative guidance. Stating six needs common to depress ed areas, he continued: For a ll these , cooperation between local, state, and federal governments is indispensable for full realization of the potentialiti es of the region . prise the public, and local, state, and federal governmen ts to realize a goal w hich shall benefit all - cooperation as witnessed by the expanded science fa cilities a nd the graduate and research center of the C ollege, dedicated this past weekend. Of these needs, th e first is "more and better general education." He also made seve ral comments in his speech concerning the important valu e of "libraries as well as research centers," for an area and state to better itself. It was, perhaps, most appropriate that in last Thursday's When asked about the possibility cssembly, Attorney Charles Casper based his address upon the of the Federal Government creating very idea of freedom of thought and expression, and free eduan agency, similar to the A.R .A. , to cation for all.

He continued to say that this plan does not have unqualwithout a great deal of hard work. There were times when it ified su pport from the South because was felt that the realization of such a dream was beyond all of th e F ederal insistence on integrahope. Nevertheless, as Mr. Casper pointed out from the lives ti on where aid is given. of Beethoven, Milton, and Zenger, these men did not lose hope After the integration issue has been in spite of mounting odds; this same example might be applied solved - not overnight - most areas to those persons involved in this project who did not yield bewill support such legislation and th ese cause they had the courage to stand up for what they felt was programs will come into existence.

It is our belief that the research center will provide assembly rooms in which these weapons can be developed , and that each by Jeff Gallet person who comes in contact with its facilities will be armed ... yes, armed , but with ideas. J. J. K. In an exclusive interview with the Mr. Shapp is well-known as a lec- Shapp Picks Shriver V. P. Nominee; A m e n d m e n t s Retard Constitution T H A N K S • • Beacon Mr. Milton J. Shapp, considered the leading candidate for the D emocratic nomination for United st ates Senator from P ennsylvania, predicted · that R. Sargent Shriver, brother-in-law of th e late President Kennedy would be the running -mate of Preside nt Johnson in the upcoming presidential election. In appraising his own chances for the Senate, Shapp said that of the .five or six candidates being lmentioned for the nomination, he thought Miss Genevieve Blatt would be the one to give him the most opposition. He dedared that if it were necessary he would enter a state-wide primary fight to gain the nomination. Turning to state issues, Shapp, who was the sparkplug of the movement to call a constitutional convention , ter med the proposed amendments to modernize the state constitution "a step backward." He feels that it will take at least eight to ten years for the legislature to act upon the subject of a convention. Shapp said that the new Wilkes C o 11 ege R esearc h C enter is t h e b eginning of a new era for this area. In the past, he pointed out, the area has attracted only low-wage industries such as clothing and shoe manufacturing. The new center will attract highwage industries such as chemical and electronics plants. • When we conceived the idea of this special edition we were warned to expect a rough time in "getting our stories" in the melee of the weekend's activities. When the convocation and dedication assumed national proportions,. so did the press coverage. As "insignificant college kids" we were prepared to b e pus he d asi de in f avor o f important visitors. But to our pleasant surprise just the opposite happened: Mr . James B. Post, County Commissione11, Mr. Joeph Salsburg , Beacon advisor and Mr. Jack Conmy, Governor Scranton's Public Relations man, combined their efforts to arrange for an exclusive Beacon press conference afte'r the public conference Friday and the Governor not only kindly agreed but even skipped dessert to prolong the session. The Honorable Daniel J. Flood and the local newspapers opened their files to us for background on Mrs. Johnson and the other distinguished guests. turer, author, and businessman. He is a consultant to the D epartment of Commerce , Area President of the American Jewish Congress and a special consultant to-the P eace Corps. In 1950 he instituted the Shapp Scholarship Fund. On the subject of politics and the Republican party 's Presidential Nominee for I 964, Dr. Graham had the following statements to make: "A contest between Senator Barry Goldwa ter and Presid ent Johnson would be healthy for the country, giving the voters a clea r-cut choice between a most definite Conservative and a Moderate-Liberal. " However, he added: I do not think it will happen. He said , "Governor Rockefeller has a wonderful program, and would be the candidate if it were not for his marital problems." Scranton! H e stated that Governor Scranton and former Vice-President Nixon were very formidable candidates for the nominations, and he hinted it would be narrowed down to these two men. He does not discount Governor Romney, but fe els he has been hurt beca use he has not been able to establish his full economic prog rams. H e also agreed that Gov. Hatfield of Oregon will probably be the Vice-Presid en tial nominee. Dr. Graham also gave some most informative and interesting views on th e integration issue. He commented on his first experience wi th the integration problem twenty-five years ago in North Carolina . In th e next issue of the Beacon, there will be an entire article devoted to this subject. Batt Instrumental Mrs. Johnson's In Visit "Mrs. Johnson is delighted to accept your kind invitation to attend the Convocation on Saturday. She looks forward to meeting you and the members of the student body and to seeing the new research center." Elizabeth Carpenter, press secretary to Mrs. Johnson. This was the telegram wired to Dr. Farley that brought the First Lad y to the campus and •made Wilkes College the focal point of nation-wide communications for several days . Behind the Scenes Of course , like all major news events, there is a story behind the scenes and this one centers on Bill Batt, form er Pennsy lvania Secretary of Commerce. During his tenure of office in Harrisbu rg , long before he moved to his present position with the Area Redevelopm en t Administration , Bill Batt was a friend of the College. H e not on ly recognized the importance of indu st rial development, but also realized that it must be accom pa ni ed by research facilities and advanced education. He saw the significance of a visit from Mrs. Johnson and propelled her in this direction ; hence her appearance at the Con vocation exercises. Mr. Milton J. Shapp took time out from a heavy schedule to grant an interview to Jeff Gallet, who was aided in contactmg him by Miss Nance Cordy, secretary to Dr. Farley. The reporters and photograp h er.s o f t h e C o Ium b ia Broa d casting System, United Press International, and Associate d Press allowed our reporters to act as guides, shared their information with us, went out of their way to help the staff in h d di f getting their stories.

" by Pauline Bostjancic, Bill Kanyuck, and Rich Kramer Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson arrived at the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Airport at 10:05 Saturday morning accompanied by Congressman Daniel J. Flood and a group of White House reporters. The First Lady was met at the plane by Mrs. William Scranton and was o fficially welcomed to Northeastern P ennsylvania by Dr. and Mrs. Eugene Farley. Mrs. Johnson greeted members of thf, press and local officials, and was presented with a floral bouquet by Cathy DeAngelis on behalf of the students of the College, while the Wilkes band played the "Yellow Rose of Texas." After a great ovation from the assembled crowd, Dr. Farley formally introduced Mrs. Johnson, who expressed her gratification that the people of this region are actively solving their problem. The First Lady also stated that the Federal and State government should continue to work toqether on just such projects as the Wilkes Research and Graduate Center to give the people more help. Mrs. John son and her party departed from th e ai rport at 10: 15 and proceeded to the Scranton Courthouse where they were greeted by Mayor Schmidt; the First Lady was then presented with a key to the city of Scranton. At 11 a.m. Mrs. Johnson le ft Scranton and proceeded to WilkesRarre's Public Square where she addressed the crowd briefly . She then went on a tour of Goldsmith Mills, a tex tile plant aided by the Area Redevelopment Administration. The First Lady also toured the Wyoming Technical Institute where courses are offered in various technical fi elds. After Mrs. Johnson left the Institute, she proceeded to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Farley where she lunched privately and relaxed momentarily before the afternoon·s dedication exercises. Arrives at Farley's Arriving at the Farley residence , Mrs. Johnson was greeted by scores o f new smen and students. Before she entered the house, one BEACON reporter approached Mrs. Johnson and spoke with her. Asked if she planned The main topic of the meeting was the Governor·s thoughts about a possible Presidential nomination. When asked if his indecision in announcing his candidacy would hurt his chances, Governor Scranton said, "It doesn't bother me. I don"t want to be President." Later, when a possible Vice-Presidential spot was mentioned, the Governor remarked, "I don"t want to be a candidate for any national office." Despite these denials , Governor Scranton left the door open for a draft by stating that he was still considering President Eisenhower's request that he enter the race. C oncerning other Republican presidential aspirants Scranton said, "I wouldn 't discount anybody as a potential candidate." Turning to local topics, the Governor suggested a solution to the problem of the Laurel Run mine fire which he had inspected earlier in the day . The Governor added "At present only one home is endangered by carbon monoxide gas." Scranton observed that the extinguishing of the fire would not in itself solve the problem. A redevelopment program would have to be instituted to find new homes for residents whose present homes are in jeopardy . The fire can be controlled within 18 months to 2 years at an approximate cost of 3.5 million dollars, which can be covered by the Mine Drainage Fund, originally backed by Governor Scranton and Congressman Daniel J. Flood. In closing, the Governor said that he was "certainly thrilled about the Resea rch Center"' and emphasized that it would aid in creating new jobs ;,nd attracting new industry. First Lady and Dean Ahlborn at the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre airport. to make many trips of this type the First Lady replied, "At the moment I am not aware of any such invitations, but if asked I certainly would like to go." A second question concerned whether or not Mrs. Johnson had any information to aid the President in decisions. Her answer was, "I'm very interested in what I've seen here, and I plan to have a discussion with him when I return home." Then Mrs. Johnson entered the house. At 2:30 p.m., students again had an opportunity to see Mrs. Johnson when she met with them in Stark 116 and addressed them briefly. When Mrs. Johnson entered the room the assembled students and newsmen rose and applauded. When the applause subsided, Mrs. Johnson approached the lecturn and said: ··r hope you all are having as interesting a time in education here as I am having in my education this morning. I feel in my short stay here of five hours that I have seen a slice of American spirit . .. of how to take hold of a serious probl em and deal with its local impetus, ideas, and mon- President Declares War On Poverty Batt Has Long Career In Government Work by Ruth Partilla Escorting Mrs. Johnson to the airport after her visit to the College was William L. Batt, Jr., present Area Redevelopment Administration director and former State Secretary of Labor and Industry. During his administration, Batt supervised the collection of an unemploymen t trust fund for state workers through the Bureau of Employment Security, in addition to presiding over one of the world"s largest employment agencies. P ennsylvania "s Fair Employment Practice Commission and its Older Worker Program evolved largely as a result of his interest. Shortly after the 1960 presidential elec tion . Batt was chosen by the late President Kennedy to work with a committee planning a federal aid program for chronic unemployment areas. This was followed in 1961 by his appointment as administ rator of the Area Redevelopment Administration. This act set up a federal loan and grant program for the purpose of drawing industries into areas that have been deprived of their chief economic support. Before Batt was .appointed to state office by Governor Leader in 1957, he was .the executive secretary of the Industrial Development Council in Toledo, Ohio. He organized Toledo's first planned industrial district in a program that drew more than seven thousand new jobs to the area in three years. President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his first State of the Union message last Wednesday before a joint session of Congress. The 42minute, 2,900-word address was the shortest presented by any President in 30 years. On the domestic side the Presi dent called for a tax reduction of $11 billion, for th e strongest civil rights bill in 100 years, and for an "all -out war on poverty." The President wants more area-development programs, work for jobless youth, and a National Service Corps, to work in this country as the Peace Corps does abroad. aiding the economically handicapped. The Federal government is going to put $1 billion on the line in a drive to help those afflicted by poverty. For the ten states from Alabama to Pennsylvania, this means direct Federal assistance to hard-hit areas. This "unconditional war"' on poverty was undoubtedly the reason behind Mrs. Johnson ·s trip to WilkesBarre and its environs. Governor Scranton Offers Word of Caution '"Let me raise one word of caution. The regional idea should ,not be used as a mask for vast and inefficient projects designed to enhance the power of a national · bureaucracy. The region should be identified with the State, which traditionally has been the object for regional loyalties in America." ey. I am proud and heartened with what I've seen, and thrilled to have seen th e new Science and Research Center, Thank You ." Then Mrs. Johnson, accompanied by Congressman Flood , Mrs. Mary Scranton, Mrs. Farley , and numerous newsmen , was taken on a tour of the new addition. During that time, the First Lady in an exclusive statement to the BEACON voiced a message to the students of Wilkes College. She said: "It is thrilling and heartening to be here. I am enjoying, to no end, seeing what the community can do in the handling of its problems." Speaks to Reporters From the time Mrs. Johnson left the new building until she entered her car on S. River St., two Beacon reporters walked along to converse with her. They first asked her what her reaction was to the building of this new sci ence center. She said, " It will be thrilling to see the jobs and type of people it turns out. Also, it means so much to this area in keeping the brains at home." Nation--wide Coverage For Mrs. L.B.J.; Forty P u b I i c a t i o n s Represented by Helen Dugan and Andrea Gallet (Channel 10) of Philadelphia, was also represented. Early Friday morning the press began the set up of its equipment for a busy weekend. The second floor of Stark Hall was the location of the wire-photo machine. All the photos sent over the machine went to New York first ; from there they were sent to news media throughout the United States. The photos were then sent to countries all over the world. NBC carried a special program narrated by Nancy Dickerson entitled "a Day in the Life of Ladybird." C 0 S also did a special program on Mrs. Johnson's visit, on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. The plane from Washington brought 57 people including Mrs. Johnson, reporters, and secret se rvice men. Whil e in the air, Mrs. Johnson greeted each person on the plane individually. A chartered plane from New York carried the team of NBC reporters in order to assure the return of the newsmen to New York with their stories by deadline time. Two bus loads of newsmen met Mrs. Johnson at the airoort. One of the buses carried the White House reporters and the other carried local reporters. The Associated Press was represen ted by three cameramen and two newsmen. In th eir estimation, they were sending photos to approximately 1800 newspapers.

The Beacon staff The million dollar Graduate and Research Center of the College was recently enhanced by the installation of an air liquifier. The procurement of this apparatus was made possible by a Morris Foundation grant of $10,000 which had been earmarked for thi s particular piece of equ ipment. Joseph Ritts , plant manager of American Cha in and C able Company, presented the C ollege with a check for the apparatus on behalf of the Foundation. The air liquifier will be used to make objects cold for studies in low temperature. The machine operates by drawing air from the atmosphere and liquifying it to minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It can transform the atmosphere into two gall ons o f liquid air per hour. The addition of the air liquifier to the Graduate and Research C enter is the latest of many advancements made by the College. �Friday, February 7, 196'4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 LETTERS TD EDITOR Editorial WHY DON'T THEY ONE SPORT EMPHASIZED BELIEVE ME? To the Editor: A recent Lettermen's Club meeting pointed out once again the added emphasis that is placed on one sport at Wilkes. The group which normally seems to receive the major allotment of the athletic appropriations - the best of equipment and the fringe benefits at the gym - began their push in the cafet eria and carried it to the meeting in Butler Hall. I enjoy w restling, but I also enjoy basketball, football, and soccer. Is it not possible that they too be pushed for a change? DISGRUNTLED After five months of dealing with our fellow students, the Beacon staff has come to a quite reassuring conclusion- Wilkes students will never be taken in by propoganda or high pressure salesmanship or any such evils that we understand are rampant in our age. We have none of that "gullible type" here. No, indeed, for, in putting out 14 issues of the Beacon, we have encountered everywhere a questioning attitude. Again and again, our bright*eyed, idealistic "This is your paper; we're open to all suggestions and contributions" has been met by cynical questioning looks of "Sure you are." ---- STUDENT HAS PROBLEM The only ray of light in this otherwise gloomy picture is the occasional instance when a hestitant student has come fur* tively up to our office clutching a neatly typed letter to the editor and mumbling awkwardly "Just dashed this off in my spare time. Thought you might be able to use it - if you have the room." As we desperately grab at his receding figure darting quick* ly off and welcome him and his article enthusiastically, we see the recognition dawn in his unbelieving face _, he really is welcome. But this happens seldom. And it's a good thing. "I don'!, care what your excuse is. If you're not in your seat, I'm marking We are thankful that the student body doesn't believe us you absent. when we tell them that we welcome columns, feature articles, reviews, suggestions; that we want them to "fight out" the burning issues on campus in our pages; that we want all areas of campus represented. THE BALLOT BOX For people who would believe absurdities like this might also believe that world peace is necessary for survival or some other such ridiculous thing. We salute the incredulity of our readers.

Brave New World? by Jeff Gallet Like the proverbial Pied Piper. current time Conservatives and Objectivists are leading a large part of our youth down the wrong path. The fallacy of the Conservative and Objectivist philosophy can be best summed up by looking at Ayn Rand 's For the New Intellectual. Miss Rand divides all people into three types: the producer, and two inferior types, the Man of Force and the Man of Feelings. The idea of removing feelings from our lives is a key factor in her philosophy. By removing feelings, she also may logically remove altruism and in its place substitute egoism. This egoism is particularly attractive to a college student who feels superior to th e world and is in a big hurry to reach the top . As Objectivism is the philosophical background, Conservatism is the political tool. The aims of the Conservatives, such as laissez-fairism, antiwelfarism, and general favoritism toward the business and moneyed classes, are the practical means to Miss Rand's possessive ends. The Objectivists and the Conservatives both believe that society should be ruled by the "superior" group in society - business. This type of philosophy appeals to businessmen for obvious reasons. But why has it suddenly acquired a large following among young people? The reason is simple; it allows a young person, anxious to shirk his duty to society, a philosophic and pragmatic way of doing so. .Objectivism - Conservatism is a simple philosophy, full of back and white alternatives and set rules. It requires little or no thought for the individual. Plato said that men must learn to adjust to society, even if the adjustment might sometimes hold the more talented people from reaching their zenith, for this is the price one must pay for civilization. Conversely, if one keeps people from reaching their potential heights, we keep others from reaching their potential depths and the society is the better for it. To say that welfare and a mixed economy are basically wrong is archaic. To assume that society has no duty to its less productive members is to hide from the economic and moral facts of our times. To say that society should have no control over its means of production is ridiculous. But the Piper pipes on and the masses blindly follow. Heard ■ ■ ■ from the Herd Xavier College, The Xavier News - The student body of Xavier College recently voted against a proposed address by Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett because of his opposition to racial integration. His position on segregation, the newspaper stated, " contradicts the Christian and American ideals and is, we feel, basically immoral. " Penn State University . The Daily "The sorority women's fall term academic average topped the fraternity and non-sorority women 's averages. The all-sorority average was 2.785, as compared with the allfraternity average of 2.382. The allUniversity women 's average was 2.656, and the non-sorority women's. 2.611." Collegian - Feb. 27 . 28, and 29. " Juniata College, The Juniatian . . . we have been currently trying to figure what Juniata students are reading for entertainment and thereby have some basis for decision on what to order. As it has turned out we have a fairly open fi eld of choice, since some science majors don't have time to read anything, most everyone else is reading next to nothing, and the handful of English majors on campus are either drowning their sorrows in Pooh, S. J. Perleman. and John Updike or furtively poring through NYU catalogues. The old 'pornographic' classics such as Lady Chatterly's Lover and Tropic of Cancer are still going strong among both depraved and deprived students, and many are currently jotting page references on th e back covers of Harris' My Life and Loves and Cleland's Dear Editor: Students living at home who drive to campus have a problem in common, namely, where to park. Arriving on campus at 6 A .M. presents no parking problem to the commuting student. Arrival at a reasonable hour makes it impossible. The attendant stands in front of the entrance of Parrish Hall and waves one away if he arrives at any time after 7:35 A.M .. forcing the rejected driver to continue his search for a parking space. The next stop is the "Sardine Can ," better known as Gies lot. Here the cars are parked haphazardly in the lot three and four deep. Trying to get a car out of this lot is like working a jig-saw puzzle. Parking in the lot endangers the car. For example, one, in entering or exiting, often has a tail pipe broken on the high curbs that surround the lot. Rental of additional parking space by the college might help alleviate the problem on campus. Another alternative might be for the administration to sell just as many stickers as there are parking spaces. Of course, this leaves a great many students' without a place to put their cars. I am sure that the administration if it would give some thought to the problem - would be able to reach some firm conclusion on the subject. A REJECTED COMMUTER KIWANIS APPRECIATION D ear Sir: Inasmuch as Wilkes College aided the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes-Barre to get started in this wheelchair project, we thought you might be interested to know that we spent $14,642.00 during the year 1963. The profit we made on the play "The Music Man" is, of course, part of this expenditure. We deeply appreciate the cooperation we always receive from the student body at Wilkes, and to you and the faculty we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Very truly yours, Warren E. Myers, Presiden t Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Wheel Chair Club, Inc. in the latter of which many are disappointed to find a liberal sprinkling of literary value. Perhaps a more healthy attitude can be seen by the fact that a delightfully clinical sextext en titled Modern Sex Technique is outselling Golding on at least one major campus, and another, The Marriage Act, (don't worry, it's safe published by Dell) is even making a few sparse appearances on our own.

Tickets, which will soon be on sale, are $3.00 per couple. Contrary to several current rumors, everyone is invited, not just TOR members and their dates. Named Miss December Although there are generally many persons on college campuses interested in the Peace Corps, they have been handicapped in the past by the fact that placement tests were given at inconvenient times, and often at locations which presented a transportation problem. This month marks the first time since the inception of the Peace Corps that tests will be given on individual college campuses throughout the country. The test on our campus will be given on Saturday, February 22, in Stark Hall 109. beginning at 9 a .m. Before anyone becomes discouraged at the thought of a test , a few words of explanation would be in order at this time. The tests which will be given are placement tests and are noncompetitive. The basic test consists of two parts; General Aptitude, and Modern Language Aptitude, with the entire test lasting only one hour. If an applicant so desires, he may take an optional test in either Spanish or French, which is also one hour in length. Incidentally_ even if you are not currently interested in joining the Peace Corps, you may take the test without placing yourself under any obligation. In the event that you should need the results of this test in the future , a record will be maintained for you for this purpose. At the present time, four alumni from the College are serving in the Peace Corps, and three currently enrolled students have been accepted for Peace Corps work following graduation.

The party is free . Margie Harris Covers Capital Subiect Last Tuesday at 8:00 p.m., Chapman Hall was the scene of Margi Harris ' talk on the problem of " home rule" in Washington. In addressing the Forum Miss Harris stated that the probleiii was the lack of home rule in the nation's capital. According to the Constitution, Congress has exclusive power over all territories. Of course, the writers of the Constitution never knew that the nation's capital itself might someday be a territory . As a result, Washington, D. C. has no representation at all. However, in 1871 . Washington did have a mayor for a short time. He was handicapped by a $4 million debt and an order to closely follow the budget allocated by the federal government. In a short time , the debt had risen to $20 million dollars and home rul e was removed. Gives Reasons Miss Harris stated that two of the major rea sons for this situation were, first , that the city of Washington cannot tax the federal government as other cities can do with their industries, and , second . the federal government owns the land on which the citizens pay taxes. Miss Harris further mentioned that certain groups in Washington have a fear of home rule because of the rising Negro population. Settlement of the civil rights dispute is vital to the city . Many people in the past have had the tendency to regard Washing ton as a " temporary city," since the population chang es every six years. However, there are now many permanent residents in Washington who are in no way connected with the federal ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• government in their occupations. Denied Rights Miss Harris explained that residents of Washing ton are denied many of th e rights which other citizens enjoy. They are taxed quite heavily without representation; they were not, until 1961 , able to vote in a presidential election; they cannot elect representatives to protect their rights as citizens. They do have three commissioners who are little more than puppets who must do what Congress says. Any commissioner who does anything on his own is applying false power which would be nullified if it were ever challenged. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• NO CARDS - NO PRESENTS Although prohibition will reign in this "speakeasy ," refreshments will be served .

With three meets remaining , the worst that could happen is a .500 year. and that seems highly unlikely. After dropping a meet to undefeated E. Stroudsburg State College, Wilkes brought its log to 4- 1 by soundly defeating Moravian College last weekend. ,, · The Greyhounds started in the hole when they were forced to give up two forfeits in the 123 and 147 pound brackets. After Ned McGinley was declared the winner in the 123 pound division, Brooke Yeager, who was runner-up in the "" Rose Bowl of Wrestling," shutout Dave Wilson of Moravian 11-0. The Yeager-Wilson match was only one of two contests to go the full nine minutes. In the 137 pound class, Tim Adams was involved in the most exciting match of the evening for the Wilkes fans . Trailing through most of the match Adams reversed Tom D ickerson to make the score 10-5 and then clamped Dickerson with a cross- body ride to gain a fall with only 12 seconds remaining. Bob Weston, wrestling up a weight at 157, followed Adams" lead and pinned his heavier opponent in 6:19. In the 167 -pounds class, Dave Hall gave up a first period takedown and then added five more points to the Wilkes score by gaining a fall over Steve Rayda . Moravian's only victory came in the I 77-pound bracket. John Gardner moved up to that weight and was on his way to a win when his heavier opponent managed to work out of a cross-body ride and subdue the Colonel captain. Bill Tinney ·then proceeded to decision Bill Henderson 6-2, which brought the final total to 31 - 5. Adams triggered an explosion of leg rides which highlighted the evening's wrestling.

Results o f Moravian match: Harry Heesch Harry began his swimming career at Lewistown-Porter High School near Niagara Falls, New York by serving four years on the varsity swim team. In compe tition with swimmers from his area, he won first place in the 400 yd. freestyle event. Among other honors he attained in high school was that of president of his junior class. A Liberal Arts major and a resident of Miner Hall, he also enjoys tennis and holds a badge in Senior Life Saving . Studies are important to Harry _ but he still manages to find time for practice at the YMCA pool. His specialties on th e team are centered around the 200-yd. and 500-yd. freestyles . In a meet against Harpur, he was on the 400 yd. relay team that set an unofficial school record . The secret of his swimming skill is a strong flutter kick and smooth arm stroke. This, combined with his physical endurances. is the winning com- bination he uses to defeat his opponents. Harry has great confidence in his team and praises the coaching ability of Ken Young. Harry states that it is a team effort that wins the meets and he is proud to be on the team.

The idea of such a show is an entirely new concept for the . art department, and its advantages ·are staggering. These three seniors, ai!d those to follow, ordinarily would have to display their work of the last four years, their required exhibits, at the regular Art Fair at Conyngham Annex. This proposes two disadvantages for the senior art major: first, Conyngham Annex is simply too small for such a large exhibit. The second disadvantage , which is a by-product of the first, comes to light when the Seniors' meticulously prepared works are hung as mobiles, propped against windows, or perhaps, were they lucky , hung on an important " in-the-way" door at the Annex. The new idea of separate, three man shows takes the Seniors' exhibit from Conyngham Annex to a newly renovated building behind W eckesser Hall. With more space, the artists are able to hang their work at advantageous points which will complement rather than detract from it. The public will now be able to examine more carefully than before the products of four years' concentration and study. The aspiring artist who feverishly prepares for this most important exhibit in four years is assured none of his work will be overlooked and all of it will be appreciated.

Seniors Excel On Low Boards; On Hansen School Leader With 757 by John Lore Results of the Law School Admissions Test, taken by ten Wilkes College seniors in November, 1963, show that the group did exceptionally well and had an overall average of 552, according to Dr. Hugo Mailey, head of the Political Science Department and Law School Advisor. James Hansen's score of 757 was the highest mark attained by a Wilkes student this year, placing him among the top one-half percent of all students taking the test in 1963. An indication of how high the overall average is can be obtained from the following statistics. The national mean for 122,342 students who took the Law Boards between 1954 and 1962 was 484. During the same period of time, the average of the Wilkes students who took the Boards was 469. These facts illustrate that this year's group did considerably better than the College 's eight-year average. The seniors who took the Admissions Test are: Richard Burns, Walter Dexter, Alan Doner, Jeff Gallet, Malcolm Gropper, and James Hansen. Others are Leonard Koerner, Alan Krieger, Michael Landesman , and Jeff Raschal. According to Rachel Phillips, G eneral Chairman of the affair , the Parisian setting will contribute to the gala, romantic atmosphere of the soiree. The D 'Amo!Jt will have a replica of the E iffel Tower depicted against a sky of shaded blue for the background . Assimilated clouds will enhance the mag ical effect of a night in Paris. The decor of the Cafe D 'Amour will include tables with red and white checked table cloths, wine bottles, and candles. On the walls will be favors with the names of the couples, which can be purchased for a mere 25,;.. Given to each couple, with the compliments of TDR of course, will be miniature fraternity paddles six inches in length as a remembrance of the Valentine semi-formal. The head table for the guests of honor will have large wine bottles and a floral centerpiece designed by Anne Maisley . If the couple would like to have a pictorial souvenir of the Cafe, Bill Williams and Nick W artella will be on hand to accommodate them. The highlight of the evening's activities will be the coronation of the Valentine Queen. Any TDR member is qualified to submit her name for selection. The Queen and her date will receive gifts. She will also be presented with a bouquet of roses. Tickets are $3 . For refreshments punch , potato chips, and pretzels will be served. Sharon Sislian, who is in charge of obtaining the chaperones for tonight's affair, has stated that Miss Millie Gittens and Dean Ahlborn have graciously consented to perform the service.

Perhaps the most effective ones don't receive front page attention. One such political group is the National Student Association which because of its continual leftish leanings is being abandoned by many schools of national prominence. ETSU is not a member of NSA but holds membership in the Southern University Student Government A ssociation. Although not a member, it may be well for State students to know some of the radical proposals this organization has made. These resolutions include: 1. · Defense of Japanese student rioting against former President Eisenhower. ' 2. Praise for Fidel Castro's educational "reforms" - and earlier condemnation of the Batista Government for suppression of "academic freedom ." 3. Recommendations that the House Un-American Activities Committee be abolished. 4. Opposition to loyalty oaths for students receiving fed eral loans. 5. Criticism of U . S . and such anti-Communist allies as Spain and Portugal. 6. Calls for repeal of the McCarran-Walter Act, which regulates Red activities in the U . S . 7. Protests against the firing of Communist teachers. 8. Denunciation of U. S . measures to achieve nuclear superiority. 9. Condemnation of the involvement of the U . S. government in the Cuban refugee invasion of April, 1961. 10. Condemnation of the resumption of nuclear testing ( 1962, prior to the test ban treaty) . Virginia Military Institute which recently dropped from the rolls of NSA reported in the school paper that NSA .... . desires the slow move to the socialistic status for the United States, complete political recognitfon of Cuba, admission of Red China to the UN , and other equ~lly radical measures . .. " This is the group which supposedly represents the students of America. Recently in regard to the number of schools renouncing NSA, the group changed the wording of its constitution to " a" instead of "the" national student organization. These thoughts are intended to inform, not to create meaningless controversy on a campus relatively free from political turmoil. Students are being used for ulterior motives in a great many areas and many former NSA schools are aware of this . STOMP 1 D ear Editor: It seems to me that Jeff Gallet is a man with a one-track mind. Week after week he criticizes the conservative philosophy and Senator Barry Goldwater. H e is entitled to his opinion, but apparently he seems only to understand what he wants to understand. !wonder if Mr. Gallet even knows what he is talking about which seems very unlikely. f;:lis articles ( "'The Risk of Barry Gdldwater"' and " Brave N ew World"' ) have been an insult to the ideals and values which millions of Americans cherish. H e so explicitly claims it requires no thought for the individual to become a conservative. It requires more thought than he thinks. To become a conservative requires a person to examine his conscience and decide whether to co-exist with Communism or become violently opposed to it. We cannot let the Communist world impair our welfare by slowly conforming small nations all over the globe. This cannot be said for liberals It's so cold in our dormitory that they put anti-freeze in all the showers. who are unwilling to face the fact that the sole aim of Communism is to enslave the world. We must not wait until it is too late; we must stop this menace before it spreads more. This is the main point of the conservatives.

LET'S DO IT DEMOC:RATIC:ALLY Massachusetts has its Kennedys, Texas has its Johnsons, and N ew York has its Rockerfellers; however, only Arizona has Barry Goldwater. Senator Barry Goldwater is now the hottest contender for the G .O .P . presidential nomination, and we Goldwater people aim to get our man in the White House. We believe in Mr. Goldwater because we feel, as he does , that great changes are needed in our government if America is to survive as a free nation. Foreign Policy Critized Vastly criticized is our present foreign policy regarding the U .S.S .R . Why is it that the Soviet Union always seems to call the plays while the United States struggles with the problem of peaceful co-existence? Senator Goldwater proposes wi thdrawal of recognition of the Soviet Union as a solution. However, it must be understood that withdrawal of recognition does not mean that we refuse to parley with the enemy - it does not mean that we refuse to negotiate with them, to discuss matters of mutual concern by exchanging communications directly or through an intermediary. Doesn 't it stand to reason not to maintain diplomatic relations with an imperial world power that has the expressed determination to "'bury us?" We do not recognize Red China or R ed Cuba ; why should we recognize Russia? Peace - Preserving Agency The belief that the United Nations is an agent devoted to preserving the peace is a little hazy when we consider the large Communist membership which prohibits that. Mr. Goldwater sees the U .N . as a peace-making agency only "'after its membership is composed of nations genuinely interested in mutual respect and toleration "' - and we hardly think Rus~ia is one of th ese nations. We cannot see lasting peace until v ictory over Communism is achieved. Let us look at Senator Goldwater·s views on civil rights. Mr. Goldwater believes in integration, but as a states rights advocate he is not prepared to impose his judgment on the states by telling them what methods they should employ in striving toward that goal. This is a power of which a state should not be deprived. Fed. Govt. In Education Nowhere in the Constitution is there a clause designating th e field of education to the Federal Government. This is an exclusive right of the state. How then does our government justify the use of federal troops present in Southern states w hen integration is attempted in school? We believe with Senator Goldwater that this is a matter which should be settled by the states concerned, not by interference of the F ederal Government. Education is constitutionally an exclusive sta tes right that needs to be reaffirmed for many. Excl uding violence, we believe a s tate's effort to solve its internal struggle with civil rights ought to be supported rather than interfered with by the Federal Government; that is, unless the state so requests federal assistance. (Continued on Page J) �Friday, February 14, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT • Two Interpretations p O S S I b I e Fo,r Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" by Mrs. Anne V . Kish Wild Strawberries, the Manuscript's film presentation on February 7, was another artistic achievement of the Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman, whose past efforts have been much touted but seldom understood. However, anyone attending this motion picture with the expectation of being hopelessly confused must ha ve been disappointed , for there is nothing obscure in either the action or the theme. To be sure there are the usual Bergman touches in the use of symbolism, in the Kafka-like dream sequences, and in the startlingly effective chiaroscuro photography, but these enhance rather than interfere with the action; thus the theme emerges quite clearly. The s tory is simple. It concerns the seventy-eight year old Doctor Borg, who, accompanied by his daughterin-law, is traveling to a distant university where he is to receive an honorary degree for his contribu tions to the study of medicine. Through: a combination of present experiences and dreams of the past, he comes to realize that his life has been ego-centered -and that however he might have benefited mankind , he was, in his god-like detachment and judgment, cruel to tHose who meant the most to him. There is none of the half-real half-dream atmosphere so often used in modern film s. We are not only always aware when the doctor is dreaming and when he is awake, but he even interprets his dreams for us . In the superbly filmed death dream, he sees his own featurel ess image collapse and disintegrate as its blood pours into the street; then his corpse tries to drag him into its coffin. Awake, he sees himself as lonely , empty, dead though alive. Doesn't Sacrifice Present The dream spurs his reminiscences during the journey, and memories combine with present incidents to form more dreams. It is in these dream sequences that Bergman's masterful direc ting is especially evident as he captures the peculiar reality of dreams, complete with symbols, conversa tions, and experiences both pleasant and painful. But even in the dreams we are kept aware of the presen t, for we see the doctor always old , witnessing a past in which he has played a most detached role , failing as a lover, a husband, · a father , and finally even as a doctor .

In this way , the old doctor represents th e older generation which, so concerned with work and scientific accomplishment, has neglected to develop the human qualities of its children ( th e estranged couple and the hate-fill ed couple) , who emerge as robots or animals, sans hope, sans faith, sans love. The present generation, upon whom the future of any nation depends, is significantly leav ing the country. Reasonable as this interpreta tion may seem, the theme which concerns the human heart seems much more important when it is applied to a human being rather than to the state. OUR BOY BARRY (Continued from Meet Gerald Bou'rland Page 31 Goldwater's Stand Senator Goldwater's stand on th e civil rights issue will undoubtedly throw support behind him. But this is not the Senator's main object. His vi ews are unquestionably correct and constitutionally backed. How ever, gaining Southern support certainly won't injure chances of winning the Republican nomination. The United States is basically a conservative country . Thus there is a good possibility of a conservative victory within the ranks of the G .O .P. The radicals and liberals have had their chance with littl e success.

He has forgotten that the first law of a doctor is "to ask forgiveness," and he pronounces as dead a woman who is really alive. After this selfrealization, there is an optimistic note as he determines to become a more human human being and moves into th e tranquillity of old age. In the world of reality there are the passengers whom the doctor has picked up - a middle-aged couple whose vituperous dialogue might have been the model for that in Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and three wild but lovable teenage rs whose boldness and lack of inhibition is both shocking and refreshing. These characters later appear in his dreams , which reveal in his memory of a child hood sweetheart picking wild strawberries, his fai lu re as a lover.

(Conti nued on p ag e 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Editorial Letters to the Editor MERIT OR SPOILS? A few weeks ago, a great furor was raised over the hiring of an engineer for the county mapping department. There was no question of his ability to do the job. The only objection was that the engineer was not a resident of Luzerne County. We feel that a man's ability, rather than his residence, should be the main qualification for employment. That public officials are appointed on criteria other than their qualifications is nothing new , either to Luzerne County or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Many public employees are chosen on the basis of their connections, political service, residence, or other similar factors . This type of arrangement is unsatisfactory, because it does not have as its primary objective getting the most qualified people to work for the government. Uryder our spoils system, we often get public officials who are not qualified for the jobs they hold. This is due to the poor method of appointment and the large turnover of employees. Each time there is a change of parties there is a wholesale change of personnel. This discourages many qualified people from going into public service and leaves the field open to political hacks. Another objection to this is that jobs are often filled by political leaders on the basis of party loyalty rather than ability. The alternative to the spoils system is the civil service or merit system. This system is used by the federal government and more than half of the state governments. Under this type of program, employees are chosen on the basis of their ability rather than their connections. Competitive examinations take the place of political service as the main qualification for employment. The mechanics of this type of program are first explained in Article V , section 6 of the New York State Constitution: " Appointments and promotions in the civil s·e rvice of the state and all of the civil divisions thereof. including cities and villages, shall be made according to merit and fitness to be ascertained, as far as practicable, by examination, which as far as practicable, shall be competitive . . . " A civil service system leads to a ca~~er service of professional employees. These people are traiped for and experienced in the job that they hold. . A civil service system gives all citizens an equal opportunity to work for the government regardless of race, creed, religion, or political affiliations. A civil service system has been proven to be cheaper, more efficient, and less corrupt than a spoils system. The victorious candidates for both the statehouse and the courthouse have pledged to run the government in a businesslike manner. Certainly no business can operate on the spoils system. Now is the time for them to make good on their promises. Pennsylvania needs a comprehensive civil service system; Luzerne County needs a comprehensive civil service system, and they need it now. J.H.G . 1t/A11t Friday, February 21, 1964 • GALLET REPLIES Last week on this page we were privileged to print a column by Miss Rita Soboski of College Misericordia. Whil e I disagree with much of what she said, I respect her views as a legitimate political philosophy legitimately presented. Not so with a recent letter to the editor from a so-called conservative who does not have the courage of his convictions to sign hi s name. Mr. A. Conserva tive 's letter reads like a tex tbook example of logical fallacies. He has a total of eight fallacies in three paragraphs (argumentum ad hominem, misuse of emotional words, pandwagon, black and white, slanting, oversimplification, lifting out of context , and poisoning the wells). And just to set the record straight Mr. Conservative said, "It seems to me that Jeff Gallet is a man with a onetrack mind. Week after week he criticizes the conservative philosophy and Senator Barry Goldwater." The fact is that out of eleven columns and reviews which I have written for the Beacon, only two concerned Senator Goldwater or conservatism. Moreover, these columns were separated by a span of ten weeks (Nov. 22 and Feb . 7). Mr. Cons~rvative uses every trick in the book to avoid discussing the real issues. First he attacks me instead of the opinions I expressed. Then he tries an emotional approach. He tells us that the ideals of millions of Americans have been insulted, but at no time does he explain exactly which ideals have been insulted. Instead of explaining issues, he gives the trite argument that liberals and all others who oppose his ideas ( whatever they may be) are Communists, Communist sympathizers, or are completely ignorant of world affairs. To suggest that either President Johnson , Secretary Rusk, or Ambassador Stevenson is guilty of any of these accusations is ludicrous. I suggest that Mr. Conservative sit down and write another letter. This time I propose that he forget the personal attacks, the emotionalism, and the fallacious logic and write on the issues.

TODD GIBBS JU DY VALUNAS Joe, I'd like you to meet Bingo our new foreign exchange student from England ... he's' a music major with a minor in money and banking. D efection today has become a variety of things - a method of solving personal problems, an alternative to suicide, a cure for neurosis, a relief from emptiness, and perhaps intermingled with all of these a basic idealogical decision. The range of defectors stretches the entire gamut from government officials, high-ranking intelligence agents and famous scientists, to mental patients, tourists , simple folk , and ballet dancers. We, in the West, maintain a peculiar, but natural ambivalence in our attitude toward defectors. We describe Russians and East Germans defecting to the West as heroes, yet on the other hand , Americans and West Ger- mans who fl ee to the East are traitors. It is not easy to unders tand why someone would want to leave a free society and place himself under the strictures of a totalitarian regime. We feel the person must be unbalanced , so to speak, or rather desperately beset by overwhelming personal problems to cause his defection. On the other hand , we consider it as quite normal that any Russian would aspire to escape from his country and come to the United States where he may live in fre edom. da only slightly less than the average American believes the journalists that Hitlerism and Communism are one and the same." The Western policy, especially that of the United States, toward defectors is fraught with contradictions.

This disturbing monster, symbolizing in a weak analogy the va·s t body of state-required education "·courses, is quickly des troying , in many instances, the dusky atmosphere that ~nee developed the satisfying and diligent pursuit of the liberal arts and the physical sciences. It is as greedy as dragons usually are and is sidlin g its bulk into the curriculum of the already frantic undergraduate overladen with the particular requirements of his own fi eld of study. The student's academic mili eu is shattered as this gluttenous fi end grows fatt er every year by gobbling up valuable , tim e that should be spent on courses of content. On campuses where more than half the student body intends to be either elementary or secondary teachers, th e students, rather tha n devoting their time to becoming scholars, must become busy little credit seekers. They must manipulate their schedules with quickly a<;quired agility to fit in th e various and sundry education requirements from H ealth and Safety to that final ignominy ( especially for math or science majors) the Teaching of Reading. Students ha ve no choice but to offer their sometiif.ies staggering semester loads in sacrjfice to that unappeasable pest guard ing the sacred treasure of certification. ,,., L' Ah , but w hile the little magicians, reputedly masters of the methodologies, ideologies, and psychologies of education, huddl e in their citadels hidden away in the stat e capitals slapping their dictums onto th e overgrowing list of requirements , what is happening to the caliber of teachers being produced? Education is an art. It is the accumulation of practical ski lls designed to aid the teacher in molding individuals - students rather than mere pupils. How can the appreciation of lea rning and th e development of personality be combined in th e child if the teacher has been saddled with educational theory , th eory , and more theory? State requirements such as American History broaden one's eve r incomplete background and are thus necessary , but w hat purpose is served by dis tracting the undergraduate with th e trivia required to teach teachers how to teach? In the training o f qualified personnel needed to staff the Am erican school, it is necessary to equip the prospec tive teacher with a thorough and well grounded mastery of the subj ect matter she will be responsible for teaching. Whether in elementary or secondary, the student seriously preparing himself to be a teacher of tomorrow 's youth should have th e opportunity to become a well rounded appreciator of the wonders of the printed word in order to transmute this awareness to his future classes. Whether th e fi eld be Hi story, English, Biology, or Hom e Economics, requirements should demand that teachers have fact s and figures at their fing ertips . . . rather than being concerned w ith th e accumulation of education credits. It w ould be folly to deny completely th e need of acquaintance with educational methods . But could this not be sa ti sfi ed by one dilig ent methods course to encompass theory and by student teaching to develop the practical skills needed ?

Hi gals! There's a career in retail advertis ing for you . . . IF you 'ge t a long with' people . . . IF you have imagination and the ability to temper it with com mon sense . . . IF you a re fl ex ible and en joy a challeng e ... IF you know that advertising and glamour a re not synonymous ... And, assuming of course, that you have a fl a ir for words and a wellrounded education. The retailer 's most important ad ve rtising medium is the newspaper. Then why do we list the above requi sites rather than technical ones such as layout and copy , knowledge o f type fac es, use of illustrations and so on? Because the technical aspects are easy to lea rn . You must have, or have the desire to acquire these other requisi tes. First things first . . . getting along with people! You will work with all personality types and temperam ents ... from artists to printers, to buy ers, merchandisers, to the Presid ent or Gen eral M a nag er. Each one thinks himself an advertising spec ialist. So, keep an open mind , be truly interested in all their ideas. Whether you think so or not, you' ll learn something from each on e. Now season thi s interest liberally wi th tact , tolerance, and patience, and you're well on you r way to a successful career. Imagination Important Imagination is important only if it's tempered with good old -fashioned common sense . Never allow yourself to be carried 'far out' on wings of fancy . . . even though it makes beautiful sounding copy. Y ou must know when to ask yourself .. . "if I read this ad in tomorrow's paper, would it make me want to buy thi s item?" . . . then give your-self a n hon est a nswer and take it from there. Yo u mus t be fle xible enough to change your thinking or ad approach on short noti ce. A store's job is to compete for the consumer dollar. You are the salesman w ho entices the peopl e with th ese consumer dollars into your store. Your sales strategy has to change with th e tim es and th e business climate. Your fl exib ility in appealing to all ages and types is a necessity. You must get just as exci ted about wri ting an ad for a powe r mower as you do over the latest Paris fashion. A s you can see , retail ad vert isin g presents a constant chall enge .. . the challenge of writing ads th a t sell merc handise . . . the challenge of writing a ds that fill your store with people eage r to buy items that will make th ei r lives happi er ones. Gratifying Work Ad vertising has been surrounded with an aura of glamour in several recent novels. Don 't let this misconception lu re you into retail advertising . It isn't glamourous. It's just plain down to earth work. Gratifying work , yes! And , we think, fun-work! But still , tim e- consuming work , no job for a clock watcher! Your ultimate goal will be that of Advertising Manag er, a nd this job being largely undefin ed , is as big or as little as th e person who has the title. This fact, we think, has th e chief appeal. Women make especially fine retail advert ising managers, inasmuch as most of the purchasing for the family is done by women . And w ho knows how a woman thinks and what motivates her to buy better than a woman! IF this brief resume gives you the urge to "get into advertising", do just tha t, a nd we can say from ex peri ence you'll never regret it. You'll find it extremely sa tisfying. It will keep you young and a lert , and there 'll never be a dull mom ent. �Friday, February 2 1, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Tuhy Chosen Winner 01 Speak-Up Contest; Senior Art Exhibit Continues 'Government Should Be 01 Lows, Nol 01 Men' partment, was recently chosen as winner of the Speak U p contest, which Mr. Philip Tuhy, educational and is an annual event of the Jaycees. The research associate of Dr. Hugo V . participants use one of the six lines Mailey of the Political Science De- of the JCC Creed as a basis for their speeches. There were seven contestants in this year 's contest. by Charlotte W etzel Mr. Tuhy selected the following line as the theme of his oratorical presentation: W e believe the government should be of laws rather than of men. He continued to say, "Even though we disagree with the law, we cannot take it into our own hands." Furthermore, he cited the events which occurred in Dallas on November 22, the assassination of President Kennedy , and on November 24, the slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald, to illustrate the effects of the action when, "one man assumes the position of judge, jury, and executioner." He therefore came to the conclusion that if conditions need to be changed, we should proceed through legal methods. Mr. Tuhy currently holds the position of executive vice-president of the Wilkes-Barre Jaycees. Besides serving on num erous committees, he held such offices as secretary, external vice-president , and internal vicepresident. Last year he served as state Vice-President. Mr. Philip T uhy Seen Through A Cloud Of Smoke by John B. Hall How's Your T horn? Constantly appearing in the vocabulary of ordinarily sane, normal individua ls are certain \\Yords whose etymolog ical origins defy examination. They come from nowhere and return there when their dubious usefuln ess has run its course. I say "dubious usefulness" since their introduction into an ordinary conversation usually indicates a loss of memory on the part of the speaker. Probably the best known of these linguistic corruptions is " furn ," spelled with a " u." It can be used in an idiomatic (and idiotic ) expression, "How's your furn ?" , meaning "How are you?" P eople have also been known to for get their furns , to have a meeting with th eir furns , to have to study their furns for an exam the next day , and to generally be at a loss without their trusty furns somewhere close by . Furn , like life, signifies nothing. When one is not using his furn , it reposes in a " furndoc ." Other abominations of the English language, such as "kreel," "clyde" (or "clyve"), "veeblefetzer," and "snarfl e" achi eve th e same nerve-grating effec t. Not since the advent of "Jab berwocky " has the language been so rife with syllabic freaks . At last, however, a word (a term I use loosely) has come into vogue that I can, with some reasonable attempt at accuracy, trace to its source. The word is "thorn ." In Old English phonetics, there is a Runic symbol for the voiced and unvoiced " th " sound. This symbol, called th e " thorn, " resembles a "p," has a dec ided starboard list, and possesses a kickstand. With such an idiot symbol, this term could very easily have come to represent such an id iot concept as the " furn-kreel" school of terminology. Regardless of its origin, it is at least a recognized English word. Th ere ought to be a de finit e movement started to keep this word in our vocabulary. Students, unite!

The Warriors sent an extremely strong and fast team to the mats in securing the 17-5 victory. However, the Wilkes team has been rebuilding in an attempt to regain MAC supremecy, after they were dethroned by Lycoming two years ago. Evidence of the growing strength of th e young C olonel sq uad is found in th e fact that although Wilkes has been going with three freshmen on the varsity this season, th ey stand a good chance of bettering last season' s log.

When Ja~k attended Wyoming Seminary, he ea rned his letter in swimming and was captain of th e team. Hi s other interests include the Circle K Club and the Accounting Club. Jack states the team has grea t possib ilities in that it is composed o f talented freshmen and sophomores. Jack says the team has much spirit and because of this it has overcome the poor facilities in which the team must practice. The Beacon sports staff feels Jac k Barnes is deserving of this acclaim beca use of his interest in the swim team and for the fine performance that his efforts have produced. • • • • • • •• • • •• • • • • • •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • • • •• • • • • • • Jack Barnes •••••••••••o••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• POMEROY'S Book Dept. - Third Floor FEATURES ALL THE BEST SELLING BOOKS at EVERYDAY LOW DISCOUNT Prices ! .

A recent column in the BEACON proposed that in the future the President ought to be chosen by popular election. Out of the twenty-six students - interviewed in a recent BEACON survey, sixteen favored popular election, while the remaining ten opposed the idea. Students favoring election by the s tudent body included: Neil Remland , freshman : "The election should be taken from the floor to let the student body know who is running. A student may have voted for two certain people for Student Government representatives from his Did The Beacon Get A Date? class, but he may have a p reference as to which of the two he would like to see as president. " Sumner Hayward, junior: "Nominations by Student Government with popular elections for president of the governing body is desirable. Such procedure can increase student interest in their government and yet provide Student Government with some control in th.e selection of THEIR president." Sylvia Carstensen, freshman: "The student body should elect the president for two reasons. First, such elections would arouse school spirit as the s tudents backed the candidates of their choice. Secondly, the United States Congress doesn 't elect the the Vol. XXV/11 , No. 18 national President; why then should the representative body of Wilkes elect the president of the Student Government?" Anonymous: " Of course the student body should choose the president. Otherwise those students who are interested but who aren't in Student Government are deprived of a voice in the election." Those opposed to popular election included: Gary Einhorn , senior: "I feel that the Student Government president should be elected by the class representatives rather than by popular vote. Because Student Government representatives see who is in action and who possesses the material needed in their leader, they are better qualified than a rather divorced student body in the selection of president." Carolyn Koslowski, freshman: "The president should be elected by the Student Government because the members know who is better qualified for the position; otherwise the election may become a popularity contest." Carolyn Kaplan , freshman : "The representatives should choose the president of Student Government, but if the students elect him , the candidates should first appear before the student body to explain their platforms and qualifications. " V emie Shiposh, freshman: "The student body elects the members of the Student Government as their repre- Beacon WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. sentatives. If they don't have faith in their choice of a president, they shouldn't have elected them as their representatives.'' John Cavallini, sophomore: "Student Go v e r n m en t representatives should be elected by the student body , but the president of Student Government should be elected by the representatives. The representatives, rather than the students, know who is best quali.~ied to preside over their meetings. Ed Pashinski , freshman: "The whole student body doesn't know the person well. Student Government members know him well and know his qualifi cations and can make a better choice." Clay Is The Greatest! Friday, February 28, 1964 Senior English Major Selected LODGE, KENNEDY LEAD IN STUDENT POLL In Clamour's 'Best Dressed' Contest by Charlotte Wetzel Last Friday, in addition to the election of class officers, a campus-wide political primary was sponsored by ICG . The purpose of this poll was to determine student preferences concerning the Pres idential and Vice-Presidential candidates who have been mentioned as prospective nominees for the national conventions to be held this summer. The members of the committee who directed the activities were chairman Joe Grohowski, Charles P etrillo, John Lore, Karen Volgamore, Andrea Petrasek and Judy Valunas. The local preliminaries for Glamour Magazine's annual Best Dressed Coed Contest were held recently at the College. Miss Barbara Gallagher was chosen as Eest Dressed Coed among ten women w ho demonstrated their tastes and fashion sense by modeling on-campus, off-campus, and evening ensembles. Th ey were Misses Pam DeHaven, Jane Edwards, Ruth Friedlander, Bonnie Hyatt, Lee McClosky , Ann Marie Mickle, Marie Persic, Joan Smith, and Regina Watkins. Miss Gallagh er's on campus selection was a blue and white V -neck shift jumper complemented by a blue silk crepe blouse, a gold bracelet, and tan kid flats. She chose a dark blue three piece knit suit for off-campus wear. The collarless jacket, trimmed in white, topped a sleeveless shell and straight skirt. Miss Gallagher's evening dre;is was a black crepe j"jth the bodice forming a V in front and back. The bronze peau de soie overskirt accentuated the slim black skirt. A topaz dinner ring and silk clutch bag completed the evening ensemble. A bouquet of American Beauty roses was presented to Miss Gallagher by the Lettermen.

According to Jeff Gallet, Chairman of ICG, the Republican returns illustrated sev eral interesting factors . Although Republican supporters campaigned for Nixon, Lodge , who is not an avowed candidate, superceded all o ther GOP candidates. Furthermore, even though the Conservative wing of the Republican Party has stated that Am erican ~ollege campuses are continually advililcing towards their fac tion , Goldwater, the leading Conse rvative of the party, ran fourth in the Wilkes poll. In fact , all the candidates who led Goldwater have Liberal tendencies. Assuming that President Johnson would be renominated for the Presidency , !CG restricted the D emocratic poll to the Vice-Presidency. Concerning the results of the Democratic Party, Gall et remarked, "It is significant that Attorney General Kennedy received 52 .8% of th e votes for the Democrats, while no Republican candidate achieved this accomplishment."

'Silver .Opinion' Scholarships Available To Women Students During the months of February and March, Reed & Barton, America 's oldest major silversmiths, are conducting a "Silver Opinion Competition " in which valuable scholarships totalling $2050 are being offered to duly enrolled women students at a few selected colleges and universities. Wilkes College has been selected to enter the Competition in wh ich 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 a re $100 scholarships. In addition , there will be 100 other awards consisting of sterling silver, fine ch ina and crystal with a retail value of approximately $50. In the 1964 "Silver Opinion Competition" , an entry form illustrates twelve designs of sterling with eight designs of both china and crystal. The entrants simply list the three best combinations of sterling, china, and crystal from the patterns illustrated. Scholarships and awards will be made to those entries matching or com ing closest to the unanimous selections of table-setting editors from three of the nation 's leading magazin es. Mary Russin and MiMi Wilson are the Student Representatives who are conducting the "Silver Opinion Competition" for Reed & Barton. Those interested in entering the "Silver Opinion Competition " should contact either Mary or MiMi for entry blanks and for complete details concerning th e Competition rules. They also have samples of twelve 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. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, February 28, 1964 Letters to the Editor Editorial Is Freedom of Speech An American Myth? Revilo P. Oliver, classics professor at the University of Illinois, tested the principle of freedom of speech recently, and the repercussions were violent. A torrent of comments, invectives, pans, barbs, and the like have been unleashed at the right-wing professor who attacked President Kennedy in a lengthy treatise in American Opinion magazine, the official monthly of the John Birch society. In the midst of this whirlpool of criticism, Oliver staunchly maintains, "What I have given was fact." His "facts" describe President Kennedy as a clever Communist agent who won the Presidency by "'peddling boob-bait for the suckers" and who was assassinated last year because be botched bis assigned role to capture the U. S. He also charges that Kennedy collaborated with Khrushchev on a "fake invasion" of Cuba to strengthen the Communist stronghold on the island and concludes that all the late President's activities were aimed at subverting and sabotaging our defenses. As · &ight be expected, the collegiate press throughout the nation responded vigorously - and in some cases surprisingly. Roger Ebert of the Daily Illi, of the University of Illinois, commented that "only a strong and free society could permit Professor Oliver bis own freedom. I see nothing wrong with his speaking out - particularly because by doing so he is disproving his own charges." Jack W. Peltason, acting provost of the U., degraded Oliver's views, but firmly defended his right to the sacred, untouchable freedom of speech. Competent Judges? Dear Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that in the future the Associated Women Students look into the possibility of obtaining judges for the Glamour Magazine contest for the best-dressed coed from among the population of Wilkes-Barre outside of the College Administration. These persons could be chosen from the local store managers and other individuals having a knowledge of current styles of clothing as well as modeling techniques. This move would render the nest choice possible and would eliminate any implication of bias in the choice of the contestant most qualified to represent our school in the national contests. To Members of the Junior Class: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for electing me as your representative to Student Government. As your representative, I will try my best to serve you.

The Editors Concluding that freedom of speech is restricted and that partial freedom is non-freedom, this editor berated people who wasted time arguing the point and inferred that they should instead calmly accept the fact and face reality. In our opinion, this attitude is far more dangerous than the professor's extremist charges. Especially dismaying is the fact that this passive attitude is becoming an accepted tenet of the youth of today. Thanks Last week Mr , Gallet proposed that write on the issues.

On F ebruary I 8, 1964, two paintings w ere removed from the Senior Art E xhibit at Conyngham Annex . Mr. Barzun is right. Liberal arts is dying, dying not because what it teaches is unnecessary in our modern world , but rather because of academic and social parochialism. That the artist of numbers 56 and 63 is a talented creator of Fine Arts is not in question. That the subject is a legitimate one for artistic expression is not in question. That these paintings have been displayed in other exhibits (Wyoming Valley Art League's current exhibit) is not in question. That the art department ad vocates the study of the human figure as "the most beautiful form " is not in question. But the question is the closed mind of society. Society no longer allows the fre e expression and free thought that is essential and paramount to a liberal arts education . The removal of the paintings is only a small and minor incident, but it points out the demise of a liberal arts education. Goya and Picasso (who have painted nudes) are considered " masters ," but students who try to follow masters are stopped. How can this be rationalized? World Literature students are required to study Chaucer, but "woe betide" if a student tried to write w ith the " masters '" realism. The demise of liberal arts might be a product of our times, but somehow we find we must still look longingly back upon the period when higher education was personal - interested I KNOW THE ARTIST IS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE BUT I DON'T in the individual, his thoughts, his UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS! development, and his freedom of expression. �Page 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday , February 28, 1964 Former Student Tokes Long Wolk; THE BALLOT BOX Jerry Shilonski Makes Headlines THE CASE AGAINST HOME-RULE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. by V ince McHale Within the past several years, a strong movement has emerged, bent on securing home- rule for the citizens living in our nation 's capitol. In fact , this topic was highlighted in a recen t session of the Wilkes College Forum. Yet despite all the propaganda in behalf of hom e- rul e, there are several important reasons why such a course of action is neither favorable for the citizens living in Washington, D.C., nor feasible from the stand of the U .S . Government. ·• • The District of Columbia was established specifically as the seat of the F ederal Government . U nli ke most o ther ci ties, Washington did not grow at a geographically favorable site; it was deliberately chosen . In addition , its boundaries are fixed by law and cannot be increased. Washington has no specific industrial complex within its boundaries, and its revenues are limited to levies on light consumer and service businesses, a real estate tax , a levy on incomes, and sales and excise taxes. Fifty percent of the D istrict's area has been retired from the tax rolls because so much of its land is either fed erally owned or under irrevocable trusts. Each year , more of its land a rea is made tax exempt. Average Income Fell Most important, in re cent years, the average income of District resid en ts has fallen below that of their n eighbors in Virginia and Maryland. Property values in some parts of the city have dep recia ted , thus furth er reducing potential revenue source;;. Washington has little opportunity '-to increase its tax base because it has been almost wholly developed with in its own city limits. IF THE DISTRIC T OF C OLUMBIA WERE GRANTED A U TON OMY, IT WOULD IMME DIATELY BECOME BANKRUPT! Th e only remaining untapped reve• VIEWPOINT (Cont inu e d t o :n p ag e 2) Walsh said, " It is a known fact that the Communists exploit this kind of literature in order to break down the morals of our youth, thereby making th em more susceptible to Communism." It is only a short step from years. Since these men are by their that kind of statement to political censorship. In fac t, there a re "decent litera ture" groups attempting political censorship now . A democracy cannot tolerate poli tical censorship. The late John Kennedy told the Senate, "The lock on the door of the legislature , th e pa rli a men t, or the assembly hall by order of th e king , the commissa r, or the fuhr er has historically been fo llowed or preceded by a lock on the door of the printers, the publishers, or the booksellers." Let us not be misled by emo tional pleas.• As individuals we must reserve the right to read and to think unhampered by arti fi cial restraints. The right to read freely and the right to think fr eely are basic parts of o ur way of life. The censors ask us to surr end er thes e rights. I refus e. nue source then would be a payroll tax on residents of other areas who work, but do not live, in Washington. But thi s tax could hardly offset the substantial federal payment now made to it. In fact , this would tend to discourage expansion of faciliti es within its boundaries such as new service industri es, consumer installations, and perhaps federal offices. A full y autonomous Washington, D .C. would have no more legitimate right to demand money from the federal government than would any other pla ce that has a post office, a military installation, or a federal building within its boun daries. If th e District of C olumbia w ere to receive such a payment, every congressman could successfully argue that his district or any municipality in it a lso should receive such a paymen t for eve ry acre of land owned federall y and therefore not on its tax rolls. The C onstitution, in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, states in part, that Cong ress shall ha ve the power "to exe rcise exclusive legislation in all cases, whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding 10 mi les square although enlarged to 70 miles square by a retrocession act in 1846) as may , by cession of particular states, and th e acceptance of Congress, become the sea t of the government of the U .S ." Even if th e word "exclusive" and the phrase "in all cases w hatsoever" ha d not been used in the above quotation , th ere would be no qu es tion concerning the authority and responsibility of Congress to govern and rule th e District of Columbia . But the very fact that they are used 'seems to emphasize that th e Framers ·were determined that there should be no conflict over federa l interest in and control over the D istri ct. In Hands of Congress Until 187 1 the D istrict was governed by a mayor and a leg islat ive council chosen by the people, and be- tween 1871 and 1874 the District was represented in the House of R epresentatives by a delegate chosen by th e voters. But due to inefficiency and corruption, especially in 1874, the present system of gove rnment was created in that year , whereby residents of the District elec t none of the officials w ho run the government under which they live. To insure the greatest good to the largest number of people, authority for running the District's affairs is placed exclusively in the hands of Congress. Let there be no misunderstanding. There is no quarrel with the desire to grant a ll citizens a maximum of selfgovernmen t. But, actuall y, the status of our nation 's capitol does not differ from that of any military pos t, federal reserva tion , park, or federal installation anywhere in the United States. P ersons living in fed era l complexes outsid e o f th e District o f Columbia have all the rights of other citizens, but th ey do not have the right to govern the affairs o f the places w here they live. In th ese areas , federal interes t a nd control are predom inant. By the same token , resid ents of the District of Columbia a lso are forbidden to have home-rule. Not only is the federa l interes t in a ffa irs of th e D istrict dominant , but th e federal responsibility, prescribed by law, must not be relinquished or redelegated. Th e advocates of home- rule have many complaints. In a ddition to being denied the right to govern themselves, they argue most congressmen are little concerned about District affairs. Housing , hospital, and educational conditions in Washington, it is argued, are deplorable. I wonder just how ma ny of these complainers availed themselves of the frequent sessions of th e House and Senate Committees, at wh ich interested residents and organizations may appear. . .

SG Passes Popular Election Amend1T1ent AMENDMENT DEBATED AT ICG MEETING STUDENTS WILL NOW DECIDE FATE by Barbara Simms At a recent ICG meeting , a debate was held on a proposed amendment to the Student Government constitution. If thi s am endm ent is passed, the President of the Student Government ' will be chosen by the student body, rather than by the Student Government representatives, as he is now. Dick Burns, President of Student Government, and Jeff Gallet, member of th e Court of Appeals, argued that the President should be popularly elected. They were opposed by Rich Shemo, Chairman of the Student Governm ent Constitution Committee, and Fred Smithson, parliamentarian of Student Government and chairman of the Court of Appeals. Shemo opened the debate with the assertion that the students are not w ell enough versed on the abilities of each of the members to choose the Pres ident from among them , and for this reason, the choice heretofore has been left to the members themselves. H e stated that since the student body elects its representatives, it gives a vote of confidence to them to choose th eir leader . He also pointed out some dangers of popular election. It might be reduced to a mere popularity con- OF PRESID ·E NTIAL AMENDMENT tes t. It might lead to bloc voting, in which a large group of students might get together and vote for a candidate for no better reason than that he is a member of their class. In an election where there is a lack of interest, a mediocre candidate might gain a victory through a small group voting for him . by Rich Kramer ARTICLE 5, SECTION 2. The If current legislation is approved by newly elected Student Government Maturity Involved Gallet opened the affirmative argu ment by stating that the question is not whether a small or a large group votes, it is whether a student is mature enough and capable enough to choose his own leader. H e said that because college students are more intelligent than averag e people, they are less likely to vote for a candidate for poor reasons . Under the proposed amend ment , he continued, the nominations would have to come from the Student Government members; th erefore , the candidates would all be capable. He said, "There is little doubt in my mind that the present system of electing the Student Government President is objectionable and unacceptable." There is politicking within a small group, and although we have been lucky in getting good leaders so far, this does not a lways have to be the case. As far as the students not being aware of the qualifi~ations of the members, he claimed 'iJ. to be a poor argument. The purpos·e of the campaign in the general ' election is to acquaint the voters with the candidates' a chievements. Rich Shemo the United States to th e Congress is a weak one. In Student Government, the relationship is closer and is only developed by allowing the members to choose their own leaders. A popula r election might create animosities by the fact that the members might not want to follow that particular leader. Burns closed the affirmative argument with the points that an elected candidate would work harder and better to make the students notice him, that he would have to take stands on controversial issues. These actions lead to growth. The popular election would give the students a chance to s how their material. As for animosities arising, he answered that in the Negative Argument present system, the group could be split by a 7-5 vote , that it is up to Smithson began his argum ents J-,y the President to mold the group into stating that in a campaign a candi- an effici ent organization. date can give his qualifications by listing the offices he has held a nd the committees he has been on, but only NOTICE th e members of the Student Government know whether he worked at IDC President, George Evancho, th ese jobs or not , or w hether he would has requested that students make a good leader. He reasoned that keep the Student Union, clean, the analogy between the relation of or it will have to be closed. the President of Student Government to the members and the President of * Dick Burns * SMOKING SURVEY a plebiscite of the student body, the next President of the Wilkes College Student Government will be elected by popular ballot. This resolution was the outcome of debate at the regular meeting of Student Government on Monday afternoon. The attempt to alter the constitution of the Wilkes College student body is the first tangible result in a series of proposals pending action by Student Government for some tim e. A long-standing topic of debate in student government circles is the election of a Student Government representative to replace the newly chosen President of that group. Since the President is elected in the spring, several Student Government members felt that the replacement represen tative should also be elected at that time to maintain the membership in the organization at full force and to give the new member time to become acclimated to his new responsibilities. Many members, however, felt that the present custom of electing this re placement representative within the first three weeks of the subsequ ent fall s ~mester would enable prospective candidates for the position to raise their academic averages in order to qualify. Since Student Government could not reach a decision on this matter, its presentation to the student body for their approval may be delayed indefinitely. Below is a partial text of the proposed changes in the constitution of the Wilkes College student body. These amendments, in their final form as passed by Student Government, will be presented for the approval of the entire student body. ARTICLE 3, SECTION I, PARA. GRAPH 2. Upon the election of the President of the Student Government, the class w hich he represents shall thereupon be entitled to an additional representative who shall be chosen by a special election as stated in Article 4, Section 3. LMC Committee members s hall meet within one week after their election to nominate from within their group candidates for the Student Government Presidency. ARTICLE 5, SECTION 4. Nomination and election of the vice-president, treasurer, and secretary of Student Government shall be by the newly elected Student Government mem bers from within their group at the last meeting of the spring semester. To be elected, a candidate must receive a plurality of the votes cast. All officers-elect shall take office immediately after all elected offices are fill ed. Their normal terms of office shall continue for the duration of the Student Government's term in office. ARTICLE 7, SECTION 3, PARAGRAPH I, SUB-SECTION (a) The appellant shall file with th e Chairman of the Court a written summary, as determined from the minutes of past Student Government meetings, containing the argumentation and evidence presented by him. No new evidence shall be adduced at this time. The Student Government, in turn , shall also file a written summary on the same case, listing the reasons for its decision and including the minutes of the meeti~ g(s) at which the question was argu'ed. ARTICLE 7, SECTION 3, PARA, GRAPH 3. The Student Government may override the Court's decision if a three-fourths vote of the Government's membership is obtained in favor of such action. If not, the decision as rendered by the Court of Appeals will be final. ARTICLE 9, SECTION I, PARAGRAPH 4. Student Government meetings shall be open to members of the student body unless otherwise determined by the Student Government membership. Members of the student body attending meetings will be without voice until recognized by the president. Solves Disputes Queens Do II, Pioneers Do II, Indians Do II, Mammy Yokum Does 11Have Wilkes students seriously heeded the recent reports linking lung cancer and other diseases to cigarette smoking? Are the students going to qui.! smoking completely? When presented with thi s question , none of the students intervi ewed in our Beacon survey answered aff irmatively. Most are cutting down, or would like to cut down, on their smoking, while the rest are still smoking the sa me amount of cigarettes. Dian Schoenfeld: "I cut down from a pack a day to about three cigarettes a day. The same thing will happen in th e United States as it did in Eng land. Th e people will go back to smoking as man y or more than they did befor e." Rosemary Baiera: "I am smoking as much as I did before; I have no will power to stop. If I stop smoking , I'd probably bite my nails. I enjoy it, a nd I feel healthy. " a cigarette I felt as if I needed one. " Donald Powell : "I will cut down , but I won't stop completely." Mary Lou Snee: "I enjoy smoking too much to quit." Dr. Bliss: "By smoking, I am recogn iz ing the inevitable." Pete Palmere: "I must have a reason to quit. To me the advice of the comm ittee is not a valid reason, even though their findings might be true." S ara Perugino: "The p i o n e e rs smoked, famous queens smoked, the Indians smoked , Mammy Yokum smokes, and they all lived a full , rich life." Senor Val ero: "I began smok inq (American cigarettes) at th e age of 25 when I was in the military service. After coming to America , I doubled my smoking - probably in accordance with th e fast -moving pace of society."

CCUN Represents Finland In Assembly by Marshall Evans Members of Wilkes ' CCUN are attending the National Model General Assembly being held in New Yark this weekend. Colleges from all over the United States send representatives to this conference each year to take part in a model assembly. Each school re;:,resents one country. Its representatives consider and debate the same problems that fac e the actual General Assembly. The initial meeting will take place in the General Assembly of the United Nations, while other meetings take place at the Commodore Hotel. During th e conference. students attending will be addressed by officials of the Un ited Nations. Wilkes· CCUN delegates will be representing Finland, and, as such, will visit a nd be briefed by members of the Finnish delegation before they attend the assembly. They will be advised as to the Finnish stand on issues, and the delegates will then vote accordingly when resolutions are drafted. Members of Wilkes' CCUN attending will be Alan Krieger, Jim Jenkin s, P auline Homko, Carol Mayer, Don Ungemah , Jeff Roberts, and Dr. Bronis Kaslas , advisor to the group. by Ruth Partilla Due to the high unemployment rate caused by the decrease in anthracite coal production in the I 940's, WilkesBarre attempted to attract new industries to this area. With these new industries came the problem of labormanagement relations. Late in 1956, M'.lis problem was partially solved by ·the establishment of a Labor-Managem"1t-C itizens Commi ttee containing thi;ty members: ten representing organized labor, ten from management, and ten chosen from the public, one of which was appointed chairman. The purposes of this committee, as stated in the charter, are to "mediate industrial disputes after they have occurred or preferably before they started; to offer industry and labor the best management-labor climate in the country; and to establish and build up a national reputation of excellent labor-manag ement relations and a positive favorable labor-management, and the public will all participate to their mutual advantage". The execu tive director of the LMC. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, explai ning membership on the Committee, stated, "All members are individuals of stature in the community. Some represent various churches, some are presidents and vice-presidents of their companies. a nd some are officers of labor unions. All are vitally interested in community affairs." Five Principles The charter under which the LMC Committee operates is founded on five basic principles: I. Workers have the right to join a union. Dr. Rosenberg 2. Management has the right to direct the operations of the enterprise. 3. There should be no racial or national discrimination against workers. 4. Labor and management are to be offered voluntary use of the LMC Committee in the areas of mediation, fact finding, and arbitration. 5. An educational program should be made available for better understanding between workers , stewards, union officials, foremen, supervisors, and managers. The Committee is usually consulted when local organizations are involved in a dispute in which local (C~tinued l'" P.•9• 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIAL .... APATHY As you are well aware, our campus seems to be no exception w hen it comes to being a target for accusations concerning the apathy of our students. Some individuals seem to have a great knack for inflating minor incidents where students have failed to show interest and stating, ··Boy, are the students on our campus apathetic." But, on the other hand, these very same students fail to recognize the amount of activity in which many students are participating and displaying a great deal of concern. In the past few weeks, Jeff Gallet has taken the time to express his views on a number of political subjects, and we are pleased to say that his views were not passively accepted, but that he was challenged by a letter from one of our students. The week before last, our campus w as the site of a fashion show. Students not only absorbed what they saw, but through this paper, one particular person expressed his feelings on the manner in which this affair was organized. In citing these instances, I am not in any sense trying to say that the students should constantly disagree among themselves and thereby accomplish nothing. I am saying that through such actions , more individuals become involved . . .. someone's feelings are hurt .. .. someone is disturbed to the point of action . We can never hope to encourage participation merely through group efforts. People just w on ' t respond . But stimulate their ego, and they are immediately brought to realize the importance of participation, if only for the purpose of defending their own ideas. Another instance which probably might have gone unnoticed is one in regard to Freshman Weekend. During this weekend the potential freshman students visit the campus for two days and are oriented to various phases of college life. This weekend had bee n part of our school's policy for a number of years. and under the direction of IDC , it has developed into quite an enjoyable weekend. A fe w w eeks ago, the administration decided to cancel freshman w eekend, saying that it was not va luable to the freshmen , because it failed to present any phase of academic life. Had our students been apathetic, this decision w ould have been sustained, and freshman weekend would have vanished. BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN . Through the efforts of IDC and the Accounting Club, the weekend was reinstat~q. Both these organizations not only expressed the desire to contribute their time and effort. but also each decided to personally assume all the respective costs for the weekend, thus relieving the administration of their burden. All the previously mentioned cases are examples of nonapathetic s tudents actively pursuing their own fields of interest. This goes to show that students do respond, and I am sure that if one would carefully examine the situation , he would find that the majority of the students at Wilkes College are not apathetic . J.J.K. WITH FEELING Mr . Richard Chapline, member of the music department , was involved in a head-on collision in Dover, N. J. , las t Saturday . He suffered abrasions and v arious injuries, none of a very serious nature.. He is recuperating in Dover General Hospital. The Beacon wishes him a speedy recovery. We regret the recent death of Mr. Stanley Gutin's mother. Mr. Gutin is a member of the English department . The Beacon joins wi th him in his grief. • • Friday, March 6, 1964 Letters to the Editor AWS ANSWER D ear Editor: I would like to answer Mr. Squier's letter of February 28, concerning the judges of Glamour Magazine's contest for the Best Dressed Coed. Associated Women Students is aware that fash ion experts are more capable than college teachers of rendering an accurate opinion concerning c u r r e n t styles. The object of the contest, however , is not to choose a coed with a professional look, but one who exemplifies the dressing habits of the American college girl. Glamour Magazine believes this purpose is achieved by having members o f the faculty participate as judges, since they have the opportunity o f seei ng these girls every day. Sincerely, DANA SALADON President, A .W .S . WHO'S TO BLAME? D ea r Editor: F or some tim e now people on this campus have been waging a losing battle wi th apathy. Th e students of Wilkes College as a whole seem to do much complaining, but never actually do any thing else. As an interested person, I have looked into this problem . One answer to it consistently comes up . This a nswer seems to put the blame on th e administration. The feeling is that the studen ts a re ti ed down by conservatism. It is my contention that , before such a complaint is ma de, the students should first look at themselves a nd their own organizations. It seems that there is more dissension between the different organizations on campus than th ere is between politica l parties in a troubled A sia tic gove rnment. Dates for events are so juggled , or else so hard to get, that no one can organize a ny fun ction adequa tely. Clubs and oth er groups have to struggl e so hard against th emse lves, in order to survive, that the average student gets no benefit from their existence. Every time a new a nd fresh id ea or a spark of spirit is conceived, it is qu enched by all the "red tape" and " party politics" o f almost every group on campus. I feel that th e Beacon as the voice of the students should expose these goings on to th e entire student body, so that they ( the students) will be aware of the problem and arise to do something about it. This the students can accomplish by writing letters to the Beacon, attending Student Government , roe, and thei r own class meetings.

Tha nk you, Bill Williams, Jan Pethick, Len Yablonski WHERE'S THE MONEY FROM? D ear Editor: It is no t our purpose to continue a con troversy with the Student Government, but we do believe that all organizations at Wilkes College should opera te under the same sta ndards o f eq uality and treatment. C ertain actions of the Student Government in the recent past seem to viola te the very principles w hich were la id down to the Interdormitory Council prlier in the school yea r. We now mevely raise a point o f informa tion, and we hope that the Student Government will clear up our feelings of curiosity. D u ring th e discussion over the budge t requests, we understood that gifts, whether financed by allotment o r by earnings, could not legally be made by any Wilkes College student organization. Speci fic a ll y, th is limitation LA YING IT ON THE LINE D ea r Editor: Wh y is a Wilkes cafeteria line like a middle-aged adult? Answer: because it grows in the middle where it 's not supposed to. Why do some people feel that it is their right to cut into line in front o f those w ho ha ve been waiting quite a whil e? The purpose o f a line is to maintain order while being served. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if everybody would demand to be served a t once? The purpose o f a line, in normal behavior, is to move forward. T o the astonishment of th e s tudent at the end of the Commons lin e, however, he find s the line moving backward! Some students, who think Mann ers is th e name of a butler, install a fifth column in the lin e to move alon g with the un suspecti ng innocents. When the space retainer reaches th e bulletin board . the cutter, apparently sta rving beyond all power of imagination, waltzes up and performs hi s " Open , Sesame!" act with a "Hi! Let me in , w ill you?" Not only does he get in, he brings his relatives, friends, and anybody else he hapo ens to pick up a long the way. IDC is aware of this problem and has discussed it, but it is up to the students to act. It's tim e we tau ght th ese people some mann ers. If these line penetrators are that hungry, perhaps some special provision could be made for th em. In any case, they should a t least remember that it takes more than one person to ma ke a line.

N . because it has done noth ing to promote our interests above the rest of th e world. " What are our interests, a nd s hould th ey be prom oted over th e rest of the world? Clea rly our overriding interest is th e maintenance of peace without the loss of our own na tional sovereignty or freedom or undue intrusion on th e sovereignty of o th ers. In numerous instances in the M iddle East, in Africa, and now in Cyprus, the U . N. has shown its ab ility to help maintain peace. The U . S. has, of course, other in teres ts as well. W e protec t our investments abroad , and we have a v ested in terest in democracy and ca pitalism. The U . N . does not , a nd never should , promote these narrow U . S . interests, just as it never promo tes the narrow interests of any o ther nation or bloc. Does it negate the value and function of the U. N . if it can no t be manipulated to Am erica n purposes? One final point. "The rights of th e states have been unnecessarily usurp ed by the F edera l Government." Undoubtedly the Federal Government nci> w o pera tes in sha res previously fe's·e rve d for th e sta tes. Has this usurpation been unn ecessary? In many a reas the states proved th emse lves ei ther unwilling or unabl e to cope wi th th e problems o f modern socie ty . Seg regation, mass un employment, urban deterioration, and industrial development of areas like the T ennessee River Valley are probl ems that th e Federal Government has been forc ed to han dl e. The government has been forced to intervene in matters of intersta te commerce a nd mass communications only because the states were unable to do an adequate job. This is not usurpatio n. It is a necessa ry extension of government if a na tion is to achieve full and equal prosperity for all its citizens. •••••••••••••••••••••••• N O TICE Philadelphia CO RE Representative at Chapman Hall at 2:30 P .M.

BEACON Honors Dick Morgon With 'Athlete 01 The Week' Laurels Cage Captain Holds 3 Game Records On Season In Ending Court Career by Ivor Smith The Beacon turns to the basketball team in search of a recipient of this week 's "Athl ete of the Week." Team captain, Dick Morgan, is given this issue's Beacon laurels. An outstanding performer all year as a guard, Dick has proved his value to th e squad many times. Dick is a native of Spring City , Pennsylvania, an English major and current resident of Gore Hall. He attended Phoenixville High School where he captained the basketball and cross-country teams. His high school track team also had the use of Dick's talents. Dick holds letters in all three of these sports. The Colonel soccer team has had advantage of Dick's fine work for the past three seasons. He has also lettered in that sport. His soccer talents have earned him three Stagg awards, and he is one of the finest soccer players Wilkes has seen in a number of years. It is interesting to note that Dick never played soccer before he entered Wilkes. On the basketball court, Dick has been invaluable to the team as a playmaker and sparkplug for the Wilkes cagers. Although the team has not produced a winning season, Dick Morgan is still to be noticed. When the current of the game slows, he manages to keep life in the team. Dick's record this season demonstrates his spirit and drive, along with Dick Morgan his defensive skill and role as playmaker. He holds the current season's high for Wilkes in total points scored in one game - 27 against Albright. H e also made the most fie ld goals scored in one game also against Albright. When Wilkes challenged Harpur, Dick had th e free -throw high for the Colonels, dropping in 8 out of 11 from the foul line. Dick Morgan is to be congratulated for his efforts on the basketball team , and the BEACON sports staff does so in awarding him "Athlete of the Week" honors in this issue . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
