In general , I think tha t its p sycholog ical part was o v erpowe ring, so much so tha t one could easil y forg et that the mov ie has a definite sociological se tting . What I mea n here is firs t, the fam ily; second , class, or a ctua ll y respective cl;,isses; and third , w ha t mi ght be conveniently called the reference group - Bo rstal boy s. F o r tha t rea son, while not forg etting its individualistic a sp ect, I tried to see the central figure in the to ta lity o f the sociological set-up . VIEWPOINT '64 President Johnson's Decision Once you ma p a nd explore th e te rritory in w hi ch th e hero was o peratin g, you ma y cl ea rly recognize a fa mily o f low soci o-economic cl ass. Th e contras tin g class v alu es a nd id eologi es a re pretty w ell illustra ted in th e scene in w hi ch two boys w atch a television speech of a representa tive of society. Th ey eli mina te sound a nd enjoy th e ca rica ture o f man . Th e scene shows a la ck of communication between cl asses. Fu r ther, y ou see a drama in a sketchy form ; one relev a nt part of th e family 's hi story is presented th e dy in g fath er a nd his easy rep la cement by a " fath er " subs titute. F o r o ur hero, th is fath er substitute is a n intruder for ever. Now, here in this socio-cultural milieu, one has to look for the foundations of the actor's ego-identity. Here one may locate the grounds for growing consciousness of w hat Collins, the hero, is about to become in a society, his conception of himself, and his own role in life. D O YOU THINK COLLINS WAS LONE LY? C ollins is not a " lone wolf." He has a fri end . Both belong to the same class ; both a re membe rs o f the same age group ; both share th e same values. But w ha t is more importa n t, they transla te th em in to ac tio n - fi rst, into a n a lmost pla y ful autom obile theft, a nd then , into th e burglary . F rom th en on , a nd ma inly from th e moment o f a pprehension , th e soc ial stigmatization b egins to operate in a new w ay - imprisonm ent. HOW WOULD YOU EVALU ATE THE LIFE AT THE BORSTAL INSTITUTION? Th e Bo rstal clima te has both an authoritari a n and a p ermissiv e atmosphere. F o r me, however , the therapeutic cl ima te is mo re impo rta nt, beca use here is a chance for chan ge in th e psyc holog ica l a nd valu e ori entation of these young inmates. C ertainly there is a cha nce for C ollins, for he has an exce ptiona l position owing to his phys ica l fitness. H e a lso has f,tll support of the directo r o f this institution. (Cont inued on Page 3) - by Jeff Gallet Who w ill be the D emoc ra ti c Vi ce- Presidenti a l nominee? This is the question facing Presid ent Johnson . H e must pick a candida te who is not only technicall y qua lified to be President , but a lso one who w ill a dd politica l bala nce to the ticket. The li st o f potentia l ca ndidates is long . It ranges from S ena tor Muski e of M a in e to G o vernor Prown of C a li forni a. Th e only th ing that is certain is that the fin a l choice w ill be up to P resident Jo hnson a nd tha t he won 't make it until a ft er th e R epublica n C onvent ion in Jul y. _ The R epublica n ticket w ill be a big fa ctor in th e decision . If the R epu bli cans nominate a conse rva tiv e ticket, for exa mple , one headed by S ena to r Goldw ater, th e D emoc ra ts could lean towards a mo re conse rvat ive candidate. Th e theory is tha t the libera l vote will go D emocratic beca use it has no other cho ice. The liberals a re no t goin g to vo te for a ve ry conserva tive cand idate because they don 't like President Johnson 's middl e of th e road polic ies. The dange r in tha t theory is tha t th e lib era ls, ra ther tha n ma kin g a choice be tween two tickets they don' t like, w ill sit home a nd not vote at a ll. On th e o th er ha nd , if the R epublica ns nominate a mo re li bera l cand ida te , th e D emocrats w ill try to balan ce their ticket w ith a strong lib eral , one w ho is po pular w ith the la bor uni ons and civil lights groups. Th e na mes tha t com e up most often in th a t contex t a re Adla i Stev enson and Hubert Humphrey . A noth er consid erati on is geograph y. Th e President is a south westerner. This gives an advantag e to aspirants from the wes t coast (prefera bly California) a nd the northea st. E ven th e geogra phi cal a spe ct is dependent upon what the Republi ca ns do . If they nomin a te a northern er fo r th e Pres idency , th e D emocrats w ill pro bably lea n toward s a northerner, There are certa in cand ida tes w ho are not connected with any state or region in the public mind. Stevenson is one. R obe rt Kenned y is a nother. Th e la tter is a n interestin g case. H e ha s inh erited much o f his b roth er 's po pula rity , but he a lso has his own fo llowin g. H e has the reputation o f bei ng a to ugh, competent public o ffi cia l, but he has made man y enemies a nd w a s known a s hi s broth er 's " hatchet ma n ." H e would ca rry well in some northern industri a l a rea s, the predo mina ntly N egro sec tions, and the areas still loy a l to his brother, but he would hurt the ti cket in th e So uth a nd in some areas w here hi s economi c views have been qu estioned as being too co nse rv ati ve. Stev enson can be passed o v er a s a two- tim e loser w ithout a political ba se. His bes t cha nce w o uld be if th e R epubli cans nominate a liberal and LETT ER TO THE E DITOR run him on a liberal platform , but tha t seems unlikely . And eve n if that were to happen , Humphrey wo uld probabl y have the inside track. Thornburn Amusing? O f course, there are others in the runnin g: R. Sargent Shrive r, M ayor Ro bert Wa gner , S enator Eugene M cCarthy, a nd S ena tor " Scoop " Ja ckson, D ear Editor: jus t to name a few . Who w ill the D emocrats pick? Only time w ill tell, but I don 't consider Mr. Thorburn 's one can be sure that , w hen he is chosen , qualifications oth er tha n those for column an intrusion . In fa ct, I think th e job w ill be considered . it 's ra ther amusin g. Even Walt D isney would be p roud o f his fai ry tale. H e seems to be blindfold ed tow ard the fact that Russia w ill never accept :::::--- p ea ce. Disarmam ent wi ll only lead to o ur destruction because C ommunism is consigned to enslave the world. Another fac et a gainst th e tes t ban is that R ed C hina and France continu e to produce w eapon s. There can and never should be peace on earth while one country still rema ins under C o mmunist control. Hi s de fense o f th e U . N . is even less convincing . U . S . interest should be promoted fi rs t a nd foremost because we a re th e only country ca pable o f lea dinq the world . M r. Thorburn states, " In nu mero us instances in th e M iddl e East, in Africa , and now C y prus , th e U . N . has shown its a bility to help ma inta in p ea ce." H e seems to forg et tha t eve ry country w ith whi ch the U . N . has been involv ed (Egypt, A lqeria , C onqo, and Ghana, to na me a few) have becom e p eaceful a t th e cos t o f th e country turn ing C o mmunist. I th ink it's a bout tim e fo r him to re turn to reality and reali ze C ommunism is a high price to pay for p eace. F inall y, I say to Mr. Tho rburn , yes, the usurpa tion of s ta tes ' rights has been unnecessary because the sta tes can best solve th eir own internal problems.

RON CZAJKOWS KI �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 13, 1964 Page 3 , Wegimont Speaks On Diplomacy; Engineering Students Awarded Scholarships Views New Trends In College by Andrea T emplar M. Pierre W egimont, the newest member of the language department, is a ruggedly impressive man. The burn of fresh air on his face suggests that he might have spent winters in the French Alps, and his well-reasoned ideas reflect long hours of discussion over hot coffee and blazing fires. M. Wegimont is a native of Belgium. He received his Bachelor of Arts at Our Lady of Peace at Namur and his Doctorate of Law at the University of Brussels. A Bachelor of Arts degree in Europe requires a two-year course of study at a university. A doctorate in Law necessitates an additional three years and is equivalent to our Master's degree. By studying law, M. Wegimont prepared himself for almost any profession in the humanities, because the required courses are designed not only for lawyers, but also for journallsts, teachers, political scientists, or any number of professions. H e began th e interview by a discussion of the attitude of today's students as compared to that of students of past years. M. Wegimont noted that both Europe a nd America have been caught in a new trend of education which necessitates the decline of the witty, controve rsial man of old universities. The new studen t studies in an atmosphere devoid of the romantic traditions of yesterday 's college world. CORE Heors Smith 0n Negro Militoncy Last Saturday the C oll ege was visi ted by Mr. Charles Smith of the Philadelphia chapter of the Congress cf Racial Equali ty. Mr. Smith , a volun ieer worker for the Philadel phia chapter, and himself a N eg ro , has deep insight into the current racia l situatio n. Mr. Smith also has ex tens ive knowledge of the workings and goals o f the Civil Rights Moveme nt , gai ned through his experience on nu merous CORE projects, both in and out o f Philadelphia. H e was invited to Wilkes by the coll ege cha pter of CORE in order to help th e group clarify its own position a nd become more fully aware of CORE's role and methods. Meeting informally in the lounge of Chapman H all , Mr. Smith and the s tudents discussed various aspects of th e Negro militancy. A distinction was frequently drawn between CORE and the othe r civ il rights organizations such as the NAACP and the National Urban League. Where the la tter two groups are essentiall y mid dle class, and have primarily legishtive and judicial aims, CORE, as Mr. Smith explai ned, has been successful in appealing to th e hardpressed slum -dwelling N egro and in leading the drive for better homes , better schools, and better jobs. In ad dition, although CORE recognizes the value o f new legislation and progressive court action , they th emselves rely on d irec t-ac tion methods. The group saw CORE's role as provi din g leadership and initiative to th e N egro community and as awakening the white population to dementa l problems o f disc rimi nation.

Wegimont spoke also on di plomacy, a subj ect of foremost interest to him . H e suggested seve ra l reasons for France 's recent recognition o f Red Ch ina. H e said that diplomacy can be analogous to a chess game. Each calcula ted move is part of an entire scheme, and each has its equated va lu e. As pawns are moved, as bishops take ranks, diplomatic relations between Europe and Asia w ill be streng th ened , until one day a ll o f Europe will probably recogni ze Red China. From th ere its acceptance into th e U .N. will be inevitable. M . W eg imont's adventurous nature and appetite for difficult tas ks ha ve taken him across Europe , to Canada, and to th e Belgian Con go in Africa. In th e Congo he taught for a year. In Canada he worked summers as a welder, laying the pip eline which carries natural gas across Canada.

Al fred S . M artin , preside nt of King Fifth Wheel, made the presentations "LONELINESS" (Continued from Page 2 ) Yet this does not prevent him from suffering pain inflicted by the members of his reference group - other Bor• stal boys. He is ridiculed, beaten, ostracized. The impact of such group pressure and sanctions should not be overlooked. Certainly it is relevant to me, because this sanctioning power of the group, coupled with the ambiguity of the goal of the director expressed in his words, "If you help ME, I will help you," does not presumably create a favorable climate for a motivational and attitudinal change. D espite this, at one moment one is tempted to believe that th e change is already occurring . It is the scene in which C ollins is allowed to run w ith ou t cont rol. H erc he might be seen as being intoxicated by th e freedom , breathing freely , bein g alone. At times during th e run , he almost dances. HOW COULD YOU THEN EXPLAIN THE END? You mean the contest, don ' t you? This contest, the race, has also a very importa nt soc iologica l d im ension. As I think about it, it is basicall y a fight between a representative of an upper or upper middle socioeconomic class a nd a representative o f a lower socio-economic class. The picture clearly em ph asizes th e difference, o r if I may use another term taken from the tit le of the movie, a distance. For this reason, the run for Collins is not a simple run, for during it a recapitulation of previous experiences occurs. But more importantly, it is the final and most decisive part of the process I have called search for identity. At this moment one should recall the short episode in which Collins meets his friend and fellow in crime at the Borstal institution. This appearance is a living reminder of his past. To start again , as you may recall , during his run there is a rapid succession of gay and inviting pictures, and depressing and sombre ones. And to Kenneth L. Ma loney, a chemistry records, their evidence of needs and major , and Anthony P . Suda, a phys- th eir decision to pursue a career in ics major. science. M aloney a nd Suda were the two s tudents fin a ll y chosen.

These particular grants ifi ed on th e basis of th eir academic have no sti pulatio ns atta ched to them. then , the climax - to give up the race . While there may be num erous psychological ex pl ana tions (and I am not excluding th em), I am inclined to think that the abandonment of the race has its symbolic meaning and that it has to be related to the sociologica l variable; that is, th e family fram ed in a valu e system and constra ined by the condition of a lower social stratum. •••••••••••••••••••••••• College Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets •••••••••••••••••••••••• Dalon's Fireside Room FRANK CLARK 248 Wyoming Ave ., Kingston Jeweler One of the Nicer Places to Dine •••••••••••••••••••••••• Steaks & Seafood - Our Specialty RAZOR HAIRCUTTING •••••••••••••••••••••••• STERLING BARBER SERVICE Look Your Best . • .

This will be the largest swimming tourney of its kind ever held in the local area, and swimmers from all over Eastern Pennsylvania are expected to compete for be rths in the Eastern Regiona l Championships to be held later this month. The Senior division swimming will be held at the YMCA and the younger age groups will meet at the Wyoming Seminary pool. The meets are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday. Several members of the Wilkes swim team have been selected to officiate at the meet. lntramurals by Lee Wasilewski Last week 's intramural basketball action was characterized by a game which set a multitude of records. Most records set in intramural action this year were attributed to high score or low score, but the Rejects and See-I-Owes will go down in the record books for playing the longest game in intramural basketball history. At the end of the regulation game the Rejects and See,1-Owes were all knotted up at 52 all. Then came the first of five overtime periods. The game ended with the Rejects winning 82-79 and clinching first place in the American League. In the dorm league, both Butler and Gore Halls, the two pennant contenders, . were victorious. Gore edged out Holl$nback 36-32 for their 5th win in a row as Larry Gubamch and John Holmstrom paced the attack with 14 and 12 points respectively. Lloyd and Spencer split 16 for the losers. Butler also stayed undefeated in 5 games as they swamped Ashley 65-28 with Joe Kruczek and Ted Travis-Bey ~plitting 55 points. Don Mason and Dick Burns split 16 for the losers. In other games. Miner Hall walked over Slocum 54-36 as Curry rimmed 18 for the w inners. Barry Hall took the measure of Gore 55-27 to tie up the dorm division last Monday. Barre, Gore, and Butler are in the three-way deadlock and will play off at a date to be announced . The Beacon sports staff is continuing in presenting " Seasonal Sports Awards" to outstandin g athletes for their performances in the various sports. In this issu e, winter sports awards are given to individual standouts on the wrestling, swimming, and basketball teams. The awana for the outstanding wrestler this past season goes to Brooke Yeager. An aggressive wrestler, Brooke has a fine mat record and sets a precedent for upcoming novices. As a result of his talent for winning , his grappling career shows win after win over strong competition. Brooke has won numerous awards for his wrestling and has established himself as one of the most talented wrestlers Wilkes has seen. Dick Morgan gains the nod for the outstanding cager this season. As team captain, Dick has been valuab le defensively and as a spirited playmaker. Dick produced two records this season, most points scored in a single game, and most field goals in one game. Dick a lso shares high point honors for the season with Dale Nicholson. The Beacon sports staff feels Dick is deserving of this award for his value to the Colonel basketball team. Th ere is no doubt that Ron " Whale" Daggett sets the most grueling pace for the swimming team. Skillful in all phases of aquatics, Ron regularly swims the 200-yard individual, butterfly, and breasts troke events. This season Ron set a new 200-yard individual medley record with a time of 2:33.6, breaking a mark which stood since 1960. Along with Jon C arsman , Jack Barnes, and Mike Schooley, Ron was part of the record setting 400-yard free relay team which broke a long standing mark of 4: 12 with a new time of 4:04. Ron began swimming competitively at the age o f thirteen and has come a long way since the start of his career. His contributions to the swim team have greatly helped the Mermen during the past season, and the Beacon staff is looking forward to observing Ron's efforts next year. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• . . .

The purpose was to address "Friendly Sons of St. Patrick" organizations. Few, if any, expected throngs of people to greet him. However, at every arrival and departure, Mr. Kennedy was greeted by large crowds of people. The crowds, eager to see and to touch Robert Kennedy, literally blocked his path to his destination at every stop. Typical of th e situations occurring at every stop was the scene at the airport at the time of the Attorney General's departure.

Yeager clinched the silver medal by dethroning last year's champion, Dan Goughty, of Western State College, Colora do . Yea ger' s victory did not come easily as Goughty forced the Colonel mat s tar to overcome a 4-0 deficit. At th e end of the match the score was tied 8-8. Hoireve r , Yeager gained the nod by a dding one point for time advantage. In a ddition to guaranteeing Yeager at least a silver medal, the vic tory assured Yeager of a place in the fin a l competition in the NCAA national tournament to be held at Cornell Uni versity on March 27-28. It a lso qualified him to take part in the Olympic team tryouts to be held later thi s year in N ew York. Howard Ganstead of M a nkato I Minnesota} State College spoiled Yeager's hopes of returning home with the NCAA coll ege di vision championship when he gained a 9-6 decision over th e former Meyers great in the finals. Yeager 's impressive showing marked the first time a city coll ege wres tler has gone that far in th e NCAA tourney . Marv Antinnes, a fo rmer mat star for the C olonels and now coach at Pl y mouth H igh School. participated in th e finals of th e NAIA several years ago.

Dress is casual ECONOMICS MAJOR AWARDED FELLOWSHIP by Leona Sokash A Woodrow Wilson fellowship has been granted to Richard H. Hohn, an economics major. He is among 1,507 college seniors from 357 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada who have received this year's award. Hohn plans to do graduate work in the field of economics at either the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, or Emory. As a Woodrow Wi lson Fellow, Hohn is awa rded full tuition and fees for his first year at the graduate sc hool of his choice and a stipend of $1,800 and dependency a llowance . Commenting on the honor received by Hohn , D ea n Ralston said: "Wood row Wilson fellowships, wh ich are financ ed by the Ford Foundation, carry grea t prestige to the w inners and to th eir coll eges. It is a hi gh honor to th e student chosen and to Wilkes, for there are on ly over a thousand winners chosen, and the competition is very stiff." An honorable mention has been awarded to English major Barbara Gallagher. She is one of 1,216 students receiving this honor. Notice of it will be sent to the deans of grauuate schools in the United States and Canada in order that she may be considered for awards from th ese univers ities o r from other sources. Because th e numb er of Foundation grants are limited, th ese honorabl e mentions are given to deserving candidates. In orde r to become ,recipients of the fellowships, stud ents must be nominated by the facul ty members of th ei r respec ti ve coll eg~s. The list of eli gible students is narrowed considerably by th e careful screening of regional and national committees. It is the basic principle of the foundation to a id outstanding stud ents with fund s for graduate work in the hope that they may become teachers at th e college level. Hohn is the College's second fellow, ship winner. A ccording to one source, most small colleges see only one Fellow during its lifetime. Previously, Gwen Evans, an honor graduate in English, obtained a Fulbright to study in France. She later received a Woodrow Wilson fellowship and did graduate work at the University of Chicago.

According to Student Government , most fac ulty members have accep ted the memo in the spirit it was intended a lthough a few felt that SG should have gone through the Administration rather than to the faculty directly. We feel that Student Government performed its function as the representative of the stud en t body in acq uain ting the professors wi th a stude nt problem tha t only they cou ld solve. One of the most va lua bl e features of a small college a tmosphere such as ours is the close relationship and rapport between studen ts and faculty. To demand that students go throu g h a middle-man to contact the faculty is to deny this rapport . We commend stude nt government for their direct and efficient action and hope the effects of this memo wi ll not fade with its immediacy. B.A.L. freedom Here, Now It is a common misconception that there is very little academic freedom on the Wilkes campus. Possibly the people w ho believe this fallacy h ave never tried to exercise this freedom . We have. T wo years ago there was an independent s tudent newspaper c;a ll ed the STUDENT VOICE . This p aper certainly was not p opular with the powers that b e. But, when the paper ran into a problem in finding a place to print, the ad mi nistration stepped in and a llowe d the paper to use th e Multilith machine in Chas2 H all. One student w ho exercised hi s academic fre edom is Steve Flood . Flood objected to the foundation of a CORE chapter on campus. He was warned that his s tand would bring th z wrath of the administration d own upon him . He received , instead, encouragement to continue to express his views. Many stu d ents believe that the administration controls and checks w hat is printed in the BEACON . Th is is untru e. The members of the administration read the paper the same time everyone else does - Friday afternoon. We are sure that thev would have it no other way. Editors of certain other college papers are surprised at the amount of freedom we have . M any schools have w hat are known as pre-readers. Pre- readers are faculty members w ho read and pass on the material that goes into the paper. Wilkes has no comm ittee to pass on w hat we print. Aca demic freedom exists . It is something we are sure of. And we feel secure in that sureness, a sureness based on long tradition . J.H.G. Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! How You Can ... ? T oo mu ch thought has b een spent on the id ea o f w hat Joh nny wants. We h ave given him everything to " help him find himself." Yet one wonders whe th er or not Johnny is w illing to sea rch . From a ll available sources , on e is led to the conclusion that he is not. We h ave provided him w ith a Forum . Thi s gives him an opportunity to present a speech on any topic he so desires and ,to listen to other speeches given b y s tudents w ith , in most instances, the same am_ount of potential as Johnny h as. "'( et, recent meetings of the Forum have been poorly populated. . . O ver th e past two years, speec hes have been given on the haiku , jazz , airp lanes, German litera ture , existentialism, and home rule. What more does Johnny want? We have provided him wi th a Beacon, a colh:ge newspaper directed to the wants, needs, and capricious desires of Johnny. Yet , does Jo hnny comply? Does he offer his opinions, ideas, or thoughts? Does h e answer the pleas for his ideas , opinions and thoughts? We h ave likew ise provided him with a Manuscript, a literary magazine designed to give him the opportunity to have his literary efforts put in print. And now , the time has come for Manuscript to solicit material. And it w ill probably be as difficult for th em this year as it has been in the past. There seems to be more than a grain of w heat in Mill' s theory that if a ll of man's wants we re completely realized , he still would not be h a ppy. Yet, could it be at all possible that today's man doesn't want? I have surroun d ed myself with w o ndro us things. And h ave spent myself foolishly. I have bargained wi th humans over the price of Thing. And have lost my Self. A .P .

Four Exhibiting Seniors THE BALLOT BOX THE REPUBLICAN DILEMMA by Andrew Thorburn As the 1964 Presidential elec tion approaches, the situation in the Republican camp remains cloudy and crowded . In a few rron ths Republicans will have to settl e down to the business of deciding w ho will carry their banner in the coming election. They could deci de to establish a clear line in American politics and campaign on differences in basic party philosophy. If they decide upon this course of action, surely they will nominate Senator Barry Goldwater. The lib erals refer to him as " the proph et arisen in th e West," and a campaign between Goldwater a nd Presid ent Jo hnson will present the voters with a cle\lr r;4oic;~ l:i e tw ee n two conflicting and irreconc ilable interpretations o f the role of the Presid ent and extension of federal p ower. The Republican party could do th is , but it w ill not. It will , at convention time, turn not to the most Republican candidate, nor to the candidate who is most clearly within the Republican tradition , but to the politician most likely in their eyes to defea t President Johnson in th e elec tion . Rockefeller Resurgence Govern or N elson Rockefeller, the Republican front-runn er before his remarriage, seems destined to be, as he was in 1960, merely a lib eralizing influ ence on th e party and its platform. Of a ll th e Republican aspirants, hi s views are closes t to th e President, esp ecia ll y on fis cal matters. For this reason he fail s to app eal to th e grassroots Republicans of th e middle and far W es t. It is in these key areas of Republican support tha t hi s di vorce and remarriage have don e him th e most damage, and it is doubtful that he could swing th e north eas t away from Johnson. As Rockefeller lost much of his sup port after his divorce, Goldwater's candidacy gained momentum. Y et, even if nominated, there seems to be no way in w hich he could win the election. H is party w ill probably realize this fact by convention time. Goldwater's Problem Suppose, for exampl e, that Gold water swee ps, as Eisenhower anfi WHAT * Nixon did not, th e entire once-solid South, wins Florida and Maryla nd , and takes all the southwest and mountain states. In addition , if he carries Iowa , Ka nsas, N ebraska , Ma ine , N ew Hampshire, and V ermont , he will still need 58 more electoral votes to reach th e 270 votes required to win. There is, of course, no reason to expect Goldwater to sweep th e South , since curren t polls show Johnson w ith a commanding lead . At convention time, armed wi th such statistics, it seems likely that the northern Republicans will block Goldwater's nomination because it would insure another Republica n defea t. 4 t oqe til))e Q~qrge Rpi;npey W~§ a prominent dark horse. Now , however, he has lost much o f his home support, and Republica n leaders in Michigan favor Goldwater's nomination. H e has lost the support of Michigan 's N egro population and fail ed in his effort s to solve the state's financial problems. Losing support at home and unabl e to w ield much power at the convention , Romney 's chances seem slim in deed . The Others Other names are being tossed around. Harold Stassen, H enry Cabot Lod ge , M argare t Chase Smith, and P en nsy lvan ia 's own Governor W ill iam Scran ton all have some Republican suppor t. But, behind closed doors and intent on winning th e election, th e Republicans w ill probabl y turn to their one truly national fi gure, Rich a rd Nixon. A tire less campaigner in 1960, Ni xon has proven his votegetting abi li ty . A lthough he remains a n unannounc ed candidate, he has rece ntly begun to rustl e in the wings , deploring Goldwater's dogmatic poli tical stance a nd publicly refl ecting on the effect of Rockefelle r's remarriage on his chances. Faced w ith an array of regional ca ndidates, the P..epublican party w ill be reluctant to bypass Ni xon , and w ith the prima ri es unlikely to settle much, Ni xon will have the most powerful a rgument of all on his sid e - over 33 mill ion votes in 1960, a nd a margin of defeat of less than one per cent.

Sincerely Stanley S . G utin D ept. o f E nglish Here We Go Again D ear Ed itor: If Mr. Czajkowski found Mr . Thorburn 's colu mn " amusing", I find Mr. Cza jkowski's own rebuttal to be an un am using admission of his reac tiona ry desire to turn back the signifi ca nt progress a lrea dy made by both countries, the United States a nd the Soviet U nion, towa rds a mutua l, open declaration of peace and a promise of grea ter und erstanding. You flatly state , Mr. Cza jkowski , th a t " the Russians will never accept peace". There is no evid ence that you can poin t to that will uphold your sta tement. On the ot her hand, there has been , in recent years , more evidence to th e contrary. Even past events have proven your th esis fa lse. During the Second W o rld War, th e Russia ns lost more men in battle than any o ther natio n; war had completely broken the Ru ssian "warmongering" sp irit ( if suc h a spirit did indeed exist ). N o, Mr. C zajkowski, I do not believe that th e Ru ssian peopl e or th eir leaders would wi ll ing ly steer a course o f war, eve n for the sake of furth ering the acceptan ce o f ·their ideology. A notable example o f Russia 's relucta nce to face the horrible consequence of war is Mr. Khrushchev's backing down in N ovember 1962, w hen th e Cuba n Crisis threatened to become a cause fo r war. It was, of course, President Ke nnedy's position on the question that ma de Mr. Khrushchev realize that to challeng e the U nited States was se riou s business. And can you be so narrow-minded as to compl ete,ly discount th e partia l Nucl ear Weapons T est Ban Treaty , which renounc es tes ting in the three environm en ts? Of course , it is not a perfect assurance o f p eace. N eve rtheles3, it is th e bigg es t s tep ever taken towards universal peace endorsed by both nations. Furthermore, at the p resent time, cultura l and educationa l exchang e programs a nd the proposed plan for an American- Russian venture to the moon contin ue to contribute to increased cooperation and ulti ma tely to a more " Peacefu l Co-existence". When you say, "Th e Ru ssia ns w ill never accept peace", you mean th a t the Russia ns w ill never accept peace under our conditions, just as we w ill never accept the Russian bra nd of p eace. H ere, you a re p erhaps right. In this case, both sides must make an e ffort to compromise. T o my mind, the United N ations represents the only means available o f attaining a just compromise and the only hope we have for lasting peace. (Continued on Page J ) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 20, 1964 ;A~~.R~A~iN SEES KAZAN'S LATEST AS PUBLIC DISPLAY OF PATRIOTISM by Andrew Thorburn During the McCarthy witch hunts in the early fifties. both Elia Kazan and Arthur Miller were called to testify before the House Unamerican Activities Committee in connection with their political activity in the thirties. Miller refused on principle to give the Committee other names to investigate. Kazan, however, not only gave the committee the fuel it needed, but also took a full page add in the New York Times to explain that his action was dictated by feelings of high patriotism. Now, in his last movie, America America, Mr. Kazan has once again made a public display of his patriotism. America America is the story of Kazan's great uncle and his dream to reach America . The film is insensitively made , overnarrated , and trite. The hero is born a Greek but lives under Here We Go Again (Continued from Page 2) Turkish oppression. (In Anatolia the Greeks are suppressed, but not as much as the Armenians.) Stravo's character is never clearly delineated , and few of his actions are ex plainable within the film. H e has, for exampl e, enough idealism not to stop associating with his Armenian fri end despite the possible repercussions, but later has little visible reaction to his father' s fawning friend sh ip with the local Armenian bureacrat. Al though he gets momentarily angry, the incident has no apparent effect on his relationship with his father. M y words, I a m confident, are not sctfficicnt to convince you. Therefore, I wou ld like to quote the words of a Russian student, majoring in English a t Moscow University, who w rote the followi ng : ·· I heard President Johnson 's speech to Congress and hope that he will follow President Kennedy and in his turn will do much for peace . . .

" In Ier -Organizational Cooperation Displayed 'Silver Competition' Deadline Nears There is only one week left in Reed 6 Barton's "Silver Opinion" Scholarship Competition. The competition, in which th e College ha s been selected to participate, is open to all und ergraduate women on this campus and o ffers ove r $7,000 in scholarships and awards. Th e Firs t Grand Award is a $500 cash scholarship; Second Grand A wa rd a $300 scholarship; third a $250 scholarship; fourth, fifth, and six th awards $200 sc holarships each; and seventh, eighth , ninth , and tenth awards $100 scholarships each. In addition , there will be one hundred other awards consisting of sterling sil ver , fine china, and crystal with a retail value of approx imately $50 each. In th e "Silver Opinion Competition " twelve designs of sterling and eight designs of both china and crystal are illustrated. The entrant simply lists the three bes t combinations of sterling, china, and crystal from those shown. Scholarships and awards will be made to those entries matching o r coming closest to the unanimous selections of tabl e-setting editors from three of the nation 's leading magazines. Mary Russin a nd MiMi Wilson are the Student Representatives conducting the competition for Reed & Barton . Those interested shou ld contact Mary or MiMi for entry blanks and for complete details concerning th e competition rul es. Both also have samples of the twelve Reed & Barton ste rling patterns featured in the competition so that entrants can see how these s terling pa tterns actually look. Through the opinions on silver design expressed by college women competing for the scholarships, Reed & Barton will compile a valuable library of ex pressions of young American taste. Page 3 Ewing's Visit To Bussia Enlightening by Lois Petroski At the Forum 's last session, Linda Ewing, senior French major, related personal discoveri es from what she considers the " highlight of her year abroad " - a journey into the Sov iet Union. At the opportunity ma de available by th e French University Touring Office, w hich has its office in Paris where Linda was pursuing stud ies, the young woman traveled through M oscow, Leningrad , and Warsaw, invariably gaining knowledge and pl easure. Linda arrived at the lntourist Hotel, the lodgings most frequ ented by foreign touris ts in Moscow, after a SOhour train ride w hi gh she considered somew hat tiresome. ,'With constant quests, both day and night, for the pa pers and passports of eight passengers traveling in one second-class car," mu ses Linda. "one has difficulty acquiring rest." She was ha ppy to a rriv e at the hotel and to begin her tour. Although the scheduled trip which began at the Leni n Museum was proving educational, Linda and a group of studen ts decided to venture through th e city a lone in order to gain "a most intimate view of th e mos t interesting sight in Moscow the M oscovite himself." This individual, and more speci ficall y the "Joe C oll ege" in Moscow Uni versity, consti•uted the greatest part of Linda's talk at the Forum mee tin g. Linda gained insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the Russian scholar. During her stay, Premier Khrushchev denounced abstract art. In the debate which followed his ban, one student stated that "it is fine that he ( referring to Khrushchev) should take an interest in art, but he himself is not an artist nor a qualified art critic." Another noted that "good art is need ed , not the patriotic sensationalism that has so long been forced upon us." Also last Spring, S. A . Vorinin, ed itor of the literary journal Neva , tried to expound the new party line against poetry readings of ·the youth . Students met Vorinin with loud derision. Linda Ewing No Physical 'Type' Our traveler pointed out tha t no " ty pical " Russian physical type wa s present there, chiefly because M oscow is the melting pot of the Sovie t Union. Because of th e num erous free scholarships awarded by the Russian government , many foreigners constitute the s tudent body. CAMPUS NEWS WILKES HOSTS MUSIC FESTIVAL Music D e.pt.

First o f all, I'd like to congratulate th e Pike Town Three on their recent appearance on W ARM 's Hoo tenanny. A few weeks ago, th e Three and the N ewcomers from the University of Scranton were featured by th e station on its evening show. Th e group did a few numbers for w hich th ey are known on campus and also several which I haven 't heard them do before . A s · I listened to th em, I began thinking about the fi eld o f folk sing ing in general. A s one well-known sociology professor would probably say, folk songs are the songs o f folk. U sually they deal with some protest, with some religion , or with some form of transportation . Since people have always liked to sing, folk songs have been around for a long tim e, in many cases handed down from generation to gen eration. According to the Old School, true folk songs should have no definit e a uthor , but should simply have " happened." To the majority of folk singers, however , this is not necessary. Many write thei r own songs. P ete Seegar and Bob Dylan have written many " folk songs" that have been incorpora ted into th e folk singers' song bags. Some of ou r own campus tal ent has turned out some original material that is worthy of notice. One term that is associated with folk music is "hootenanny ." This is neith er a cross between an owl and a goat, nor is it a goat from Scotland. The term refers to what we might call a "jam session" among folk singers. I understand that suc h a congrega tion takes place down at th e Snack Ba r (affectionately called Gerard's Villa) eve ry Friday afternoon. If you haven't dropped in on it yet, you might try it. Wilkes is by no means devoid of talent in the fi eld of folk music. Besides the Pike Town Three, the campus has the Warner Trio, Barry Singer, Jody Morrison, Nels ' Seagren, and many more. However , despite such observation , Linda is certain that to describe the average Soviet s tudent as "impatient to break the bonds of Sovie t tyranny would be a gross error." Through her many associations with him , she found a n individual more sa ti sfi ed than rebellious. H e feels that his leaders' policies a re essential to the betterment of his nation, that socialism is basically good , that the real criterion of a good society is the common ownership of property. Letter From Russia This yea r Linda received a letter from a Soviet scholar, named Valery, who presen tly is teaching English in his " school practice" in Russia. Val ery wrote , more than two months after the death o f President Kennedy , " W e we re a nd still are much aggrieved over th e assassination of President Ken nedy. It 's sad that only after someone's death do we appreciate him . H e ha s don e much for humanity and ever will live in peoples' memories." Valery listened to - Johnson 's ..address to C ongress.

Matt Himlin of the Rejects was the high scorer in the game with 20 points. Many upsets characterized dorm action with a three way tie emerging after this week's play. The League leaders, Butler Hall and Gore Hall. both with unblemished records , met head on in a game which was to set the stage for one of the most exciting weeks in Intramural play. Gore hall jumped off to a 9-5 lead in the first period, but Butler Hall quickly rebounded on the stalward offensive play of Ed Comstock to take the lead at half 16-15. Larry Gubanich then took charge of Gore's offense and was <1ided by J. Holmstrom and B.

Gore's only obstacle to the Dorm Championship was once b eaten Butler Hall. But Butler Hall had no inten tion of relinquishing their title as Dorm champions. In the first quarter Barre jumped out to a 7-4 lead, and this was the closest that Gore came for the rest of the evening as Dunn and Houliston split 30 points in leading Earre to a 55-27 upset. Larry Gubanich was high for the losers with 11. With Barre 's win over Gore the Dorm League was thrown into a three-way tie for first place between Butler, Gore and Barre.

Hoover To Explain Student Aid Program by Linda Edwards A Financial Aid Sem inar will be held for those students see king to ren ew th eir sc holars hips and to apply for studen t loans. Scholarship renewal form s and applications for National D efense Student Loans will be available at thi s Seminar which w ill take place at two different times - Tuesday, April 14 at 11 a.m. and Wednesday , April 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Stark 116. Arrang ed by Arthur J. Hoover, director of stud ent activities, this Seminar has been crea ted to help those stud ents participating in the financial programs to better und erstand them. At th e mee tings Hoover w ill acquaint th e stud ents with other possible sources of financial aid , and he will review th e overa ll financi a l aid progra m, its requirements, and th e policies wh ich govern it. H e will also answer any questions relative to the program. The purpose of th e double time is to insure an opportunity for all students to attend th e Seminar. Since th ere are approximately 500 men and women in volved , the meetings had to be split to accommodate them. Hoover said that it was preferabl e that commuting students attend the Tuesday mee ting and th a t the dormitory students mee t W ednesday. This eliminates the transportation problem that any commuters might have, although th ey ca n attend either se,ssi_on. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Letters to the Editor Editorial ... GIVE THE CLUBS A CHANCE The hard core of our extracurricular activities is the clubs. Unlike the legislative bodies, the classes, the athletic teams, and the service organizations, they are interested in the professional and intellectual development of the individual. And after all, what is the main purpose of college? The College has recognized their importance by scheduling an hour each week when there are no classes so that the clubs may function effectively. To fulfill their purposes the clubs must have money. Their activities necessitate films , speakers, books, trips, and special equipment. A lack of funds would cause them to limit their activities, and therefore the pragmatic education of the school's club members. This year many of the clubs have reached a cns1s. To effectively carry on their activities , they need money. Since as a whole they receive little financial assistance from either the College or the Student Government, they must raise their own funds . Each year, this becomes more difficult. In past years, the clubs were able to make a reasonable profit from almost any dance they ran, and fund raising was no problem. Most clubs were able to subsist on earnings from the dances and their dues . But in order to improve the dances as social functions , the Student Government has passed a set of rules that has decreased the fund raising potential. The clubs have resorted to bake sales, car washes and the like. As the number of the activities increases, their effectiveness decreases. What once were lucrative projects have become only marginal money makers. We must find a solution before this situation degenerates further. One suggested solution is for Student Government ·to subsidize the clubs. But we realize that this would be impossible for various reasons. Another better suggestion, is to give the clubs a chance at the more profitable fund raising activities. The concessions at athletic events, formal dances , special events, etc., could be made into a rotating system whereby each club would have an opportunity to have a concession. When a project like the Intercollegiate Hootenanny comes along, let the clubs in on it. True, a system of this type would lead to some extra paper work, but certainly the result would be worth it.

Concerned Reader Views NSA Editori al The snide editorial from the Colleg ian , " NSA Ab andoned," regrettably reprinted by the Beacon, was so biased in presenting its facts that I felt another view must be aired: 1. NSA defended the right of Japenese studen ts to protest th e v isit of form er Presid ent Eisenhower. Unlike our sedate, middle-of-the-road citizens, those of other cou ntries are more adama nt in their protes ts. They believe in their v iews more s trongly than our "protesters," thus American newspapers always call these protests "ricits." 2. a. NSA pra ised Castro "s ed ucational reforms justly. The Cuban leader , however much we hate and disagree with him , has made good reforms. No government is all bad, as we feel his is, or all good, as we feel ours is. b. NSA condemned Batista 's suppression of academic fre edom only because Batista did suppress academic freedom . No politics were involved, just a concern for the Cuban students under his reign. 5. a. NSA criticizes the United States. D on' t we allow that anymore? At va rious times the following peopl e have been very critical of the U .S .: Washin gton, Lin coln, Jefferson, Wilson , R oosevelt, E isenhower, Kennedy, and Goldwater. Are they all Communist-sympath izers? b. NSA criticizes Spain a nd Po rtugal. True, they are our allies an d are a nti -Communist, but Spain a nd Portugal are also dictatorships . The U nited States is supposed to be for democracy , but apparently only when it suits its purposes. Otherw ise they'll suppo rt any undemocratic, cruel, repressive dictatorship , as long as it's "a nti-Communist." 6. The McCarran-Walter Act, which NSA opposes, su pposedly regulates C omm unist activity in our country . In fact, though , it not only hinders Communists but an indeterminable number of other Americans. It is unconstitutional and inflicts a strong censorship on all Am ericans. The way of prese rving democracy is not to become a dictatorship, always in fear for its life. 7. NSA p rotests the firing of alleged C o mmuni st teachers. Who does the alleging? The right-wing which includes isolationists, segregationists, and religious fanatics . T eachers have been fired for teaching evolution, in teg ration , peace, and broth erhood . These teachers ha ve been called " communists." 3. NSA recommends that the House Un-American Activiti es Committee be abolished. President Truman ca ll ed th e Congressional Co=ittee: " the most un American thing in Am erica today. " Eleanor Roosevelt fought aga inst th e H .U.A.C. because it violates the U .S . Constitution and Bill of Rights. Among th e members of th e Committee are Southern segrega tion8. NSA denounces our costly ists, Ku Klu x Kl an members, a nd John struggl e for nuclear domination, but Birchites. also the Ru ssian, British, and French 4. NSA is opposed to student loy- attempts to become supreme . NSA is alty oaths because they are not effec- for a world where stud en ts can grow ti ve, not democra ti c. and degrade the up . Th ey a re against nuclear destruchuman spirit and dignity. tion . THE BALLOT BOX Lest We Forget by Vince McHale Refl ecting upon the recent death o f Genera l MacArthur and our confused and muddled si tuation in South Vietnam, I cannot help but bring to my mind the w hole problem of our past and present involvement in Korea. Will Vietnam meet the same fate, hopelessly div ided? It has been a lmos t eleven years since th e signing of an armistice agreement at Panmunjom , July 26, l 953, and divid ed Korea technically is still at war. A peace trea ty has neve r bee n signed, nor is there any real hope tha t one will be signed in the forseeable future. The 2½-mile wide demilitarized zone along th e 38th parallel crackles w ith tension a nd ve ry often an occasional burst of gunfire aimed at the U .N. patrols. Th e weekly meeting of the Joint Military Armistice Commission is al most wholly taken up with the problem of charges and countercharges of violations of th e armistice agreement. Since 1953, there has been a total o f 8,3 19 alleged violations recorded for both sides. Considering each s ide separately, the United Nations Command in South Korea is charged by the Communists in the North w ith 6,044 v iolations , while th e U.N. Command has registered 2,275 by the forces of the N o rth. Current Stalemate Unsa tisfactory as the current stalemate may appear, after interviewing a recent U.S. soldi er returnee, this w riter found that the troops in Sou th Korea consider it better than fighting . In retrospect, it seems likely that the North Korean Communist attack on South Korea was based upon a miscalculation , for it occurred in an area where the W est's "vital interests" had not been clearly defined. Secretary of State Acheson, in a speech to the National Press Club in Janu a ry, 1950, exclud ed specifically South Ko rea from th e perimeter which in case of attack the U .S . would defend unila terally. The withdrawal of U.S . troops from South Korea must have gone far to convince the Com munists that th ey could take our policy at face value. Looking over the past records during the 37 month s of active fi ghting, the price to restore th e statu s quo amounted to 157,530 A merican casualties, including 33,629 battle deaths a nd 20,617 deaths from other causes. Appro ximately 55,000 American servicemen are station ed in South Korea today , a nd the Sou th Korean Arm y total s another 600,000 men. From all indi ca tions, N orth Korea arra ys abou t half that many along the dividin g line, but th ese forces are buttressed by th e proximity of Communist Chi na. All indications, howeve r, reveal no signs that the North Koreans are preparing to la un ch a new offensive. "Police Action" As a n aftennath of the " police action, " South Korea remains largely dependent upon United States aid for its survival. An estima ted $4 billion in U .S . military and economic aid has been poured into the country over the last decade, but unemployment and poverty a re endemic. Am erica has encountered many difficu lti es in trying to transform South Korea into a show place of democracyincluding a period of military dictators hip. Governmental p rob I e m s still do not appear to be resolved. When coupled to th e si tuation in Sou th Vietnam, perhap s this is an example of the limits to success th e U .S . can expect for its milita ry efforts in A sia. T . R . Fehrenbach , in writing This Kind of War ( 1963 ) ,seems to spell ou t the reality of the Korean truce: "In exchange for peace along th e parallel. the United States agreed to accept the R epubli c of Korea as its ward , perha ps forever . .. In exchange, Sy ngman Rh ee agreed not to obs truct th e annistice . . . Th ere was no more war but there was no peace. There was no victory. It was call ed ceasefire ." ' 9. NSA condemns our involvement in th e plot to overthrow C as tro. If our ego and prid e and investments were not at stake, we would recognize the C astro government, admit that the revolution in Cuba succeeded, and realize that Cuba holds no terrors for us. What about Hungary? Tibet? Poland? Where has all our " huma nita rianism" gone when the only country we acti vely want to liberate is Cuba? 10. NSA condemned the resumption of nuclear testing. We now have a test ban treaty. Were Kennedy and Congress a ll dupes of C ommunl!m, or were th ey trying to secure peace for us all? The Virginia Military Institute condemned NSA for being too "radical." But we must remember, wha t is "radical" to a Southern military school is not necessa rily ra dical to millions of intelligent, non-Southern, non-military minds. The fact that a s tudent newspa per cou ld believe in such insane reasoning as quoted in the editorial is shocking. Somew here, in the back of my mind , I thought that students were supposed to be informed human beings who believed in peace, truth, and love. That is w hat the editors of the Beacon a ppa rently do not beli eve in. Concerned Reader Cue and Curta in Tryouts D ear Ed itor: Is it now the policy of Cue and Curtain to cast a play without hold ing public tryouts? I have believed, (perhaps I am wrong), tha t the Cue and Curtain is a theatre group designed to give studen ts an opportunity to display their hidden talents. It appears, through several phone calls to select indiv idu a ls and the holding of a secret meeting, that a cast was formed w hich includes o nl y those privileged few w ho were contacted . This is ce rtainly not conducive to fostering new tal en t, and if th ese tactics continue the future of Cue and Curtain certainly w ill not brighten. DEJE CTED CUE AND CURTAIN MEMBE RS What A,n't We Got? In reply to a recent speaker at assembly I would like to note that . We got railroads, we got mines. W e got w inter snows and crim es, W e got P enna. scenery, a nd some mountains yo u can climb , We got poolrooms, un employme nt , a nd uneducated slobs, What ai n't we got W e ain't got jobs.

The all-day meetings began on April 2 in Stark 109 and will continue every Thursday until April 30. The committee hopes to enlist the aid of the community to establish facilities and information centers, which would resolve this problem. The chairman is the Reverend Burke Rivers, pastor of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Dr. Francis Michelini is the seminar chairman. The maximum number of registrants expected was 50; however, 63 people have signed up .

Ferris' move to the Colonel fac ult y is by no means a tota ll y new a ffili ation with Wilkes. H e first came into contac t w ith the school as a stu dent and grad uated in 1956. Upon graduation F erris turned to Bucknell Uni versity w here he received his Master 's degree in adm in istration in 196 1. While a t Wilkes, Ferris compiled a record of awards which would be the envy of any at hlete. On th e basketball cou rt he proved himsel f by having been chosen the first C olonel cager to receive th e Outstanding Basketball Playe r Award. In his junior year, Ferris was reci pi ent of the Howie D avis Trophy a nd at the end o f his senior yea r he was chosen as the BEACON Athlete o f the Y ear. H e was a lso presented with numerous other honors and was a frequent " Athlete o f the Week" recipi ent.

H e is a regular member o f the Swoyerville club w hich last year won the Wyoming Leag ue championship.

Jed M iss G enevieve Bla tt , Sta te Secretary o f Internal Affai rs an d candida te fo r Uni ted S ta tes Senate , in an exclusive inte rv iew with th e Beacon, pl edged that she would be in favor of outright grants to depressed a reas. She expla ined that the present system o f ma tching grants is ina dequa te because the areas that need it don 't have the money to ma tch. She further stated that she thought there was a great need for a domestic peace corps as supported by President Johnson. She said, "We can put boys and girls to work training in libraries, ALL WE WANT IS YOUR BLOOD hospitals, schools, settlement houses, courts, children's homes, parks, and playgrounds." She also pledged support for research into new uses for coal saying, "I feel most deeply about the need for the expansion of research and development of new uses for coal and its by-products, and I shall direct my best effort toward this goal. We know in the Department of Internal Affairs' Topographic and Geologic Survey that a breakthrough is near in discovering new applications for this resource so vital to the economic health of the hard-pressed coal regions. I shall support federal assistance for this program." Musmanno's Chances T urning to th e political scene, Miss the Vol .

She went on to sa y she would have supported certa in other candid a tes ha d th ey been nominated by the D emocratic pa rty orga nization, including Sta te Sena tor C asey o f Scra nton. She strongly urged· Judge Musmanno to give up his judicial post if he wishes to make a bid for office. When asked whether she would resign her own state post, she stated, " There is a world of difference between an ad- ministrative and a judicial post." She pointed out that legal canons require a judge participating in partisan politics to resign. There are no such requirements of an administrative or legislative office. Miss Blatt clarified her position on a id to education on the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels by saying she w as strongly in favor of fed eral aid to all .

This is the very first time an eight-piece band - four singers, four musicians - will play for a Friday night dance. The Economics Club is presenting the Endells, a rock'n roll band from Baltimore, at the Friday night dance. The band', costing $400 (bands the past have rarely been paid more than $100 for a weekly dance at Wilkes), has played at Cornell, Penn State, Lehigh, Dickenson, and Bucknell. This is the very first time the Endells have played in Wyoming Valley. Evidently, the Economics Club is entering a rather passionate love. affair with Chance. And it is probably the very first time one would want his love affair well-attended. It is the very first time that admission to a Friday night dance will be one dollar. Four hundred dollars must be. made; Chance must be. paid. The Economics Club is heavily publicizing this dance. Posters have been sent to King's, Misercordia, Scranton University, Marywood, Penn State. Extension, and Wilkes-Barre Business College. Local radio stations and newspapers have also received releases about the dance. An all-out effort has been made by the Economics Club to have as many in attendance as possible. NOW, IT IS UP TO YOU. The Economics Club is taking a chance. And the reason for the flirtation with Chance? Joe D eMarco, President of the Economics Club: " Students complain that there's not enough s~ial life on ca~pus. By bringing in. the Endells from Baltimore, the Economics Club has tned to arouse enthusiasm among the students for school affairs. Should the dance become a failure, Jet's not hear about social life on campus, for we are to blame, and not the administration." The same case may be presented by those who have endeavored and succeeded in taking the Cinderella Ball out of the gym. If the Friday night dance this week bums up, no phoenix will arise from the ashes. A. P. !n GOT 15 MINUTES? Twice each year, we the students of Wilkes College are ~ked to donate one pint of blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank. As we rapully approach April 24, the date scheduled for second semester's blo?d donor day, it. would be well for us to review both the success of the plan 10 the past and its outlook for the. future. Since its inception, this program has continued to be more successful each year. Last semester, we reached our peak in donations, with appro11;imately 200 pints being given. Hopeful as these results may seem, they are still a far cry from our potential when we realize that we have 1300 students on campus. Interest in the program generated through clubs is perhaps the best way to insure the success of the plan. In the past, the Circle K Club has done an excellent job by encouraging almost 100% of its membership to donate blood. Their enthusiasm alone however, is not enough to insure complete succ;-ess. Their blueprint must be' followed by other students and' groups. ' .. Failure to participate in the program is actually without excuse, unless .of course the prospective donor is physically incapable of making the domi'tion. The process itself is quick and painless with the donor actually benefiting, for it has been medically proven that periodic donation of blood is good for the body. Another point to keep in mind is that, by making a donation to the blood bank, a person is entitled to free use of blood not only for himself and his family, but also any friends he wishes to aid. The benefits are great while. the sacrifice is small (15 minutes of one's time), so why not make Blood Donor Day of April 24 the most successful that has taken place to date. J.J .K. CONDOLENCES The entire Beacon staff extends its sincere condolences to "Pop" Clewell on the death of his wife. During the past four years we have worked closely with "Pop" and now feel that we share his loss. W e are certain that this sentiment expresses the general campus feeling.

Dear Editor: I would like to go on record as publicly condemning what I think is an insult to the student body of this college. This insult is in the form of an infantile booklet entitled Things I Should Know About Me. Since the booklet was sent to prospective students, it is likely that most of you haven 't seen a copy. The booklet proclaims, in no uncertain terms, the importance of wash ing and brushing teeth daily; instructs us to keep our rooms and persons neat; informs us . that cheating is wrong and that cotjrfesy and good manners right; it re~irtds us that our teachers love us anll:,1 " are , after all, human beings" ; it declares that our futures will require patience and good taste. The booklet goes on in this vein for ni ne asinine pages, every now and then fle cked with a bit of humor (as if th e idiocy of the book weren' t humor enough) as in th e aphorism "I am not couth when I 'cuth'". The whole level of the booklet is that of a second-grade primer. I wonder what caliber of student the authors of thi s booklet anticipate. C ertainly it is not one wit h a normal upbring- J oh n Si ckler , Rog er Squ ie r, Da ve Co ral, Todd Gibb s, Bob Koz inski, ing and normal intelligence. I cannot believe that this booklet would have appeared in any college other than Wilkes for only here is the dignity and in telligence of the student demeanored to so base a level. It's time we received the courtesy due us and that booklets like Things I Should Know About Me remained unprinted . Harris Tobias Dear Editor: I have just read the latest publication to come out of thi s institution of higher learning, and am considering asking for my $5 application fee and the past two years tuition back, on the grounds that I was falsely mislead into thinking this was a place of higher learning ; namely a college. The publication seems to be directed toward those children who, upon reaching the second grade and having the impulse to pick their nose, are sharply told that it is not the thing to do, and they should have learned that in the first grade. Having commi tted this and other similar laws to memory some years ago, and having finished at least 12 years of schooling , I no longer consider myself in the same classification with the people who 'IIE'IVPOli'l . f SHADES OF GREY by Jeff Gallet In listening to the vociferous opponen ts in the civil rights dispute , one might come to believe that the issues are absolute, and all the individual has to do is to choose one of the three major positions. (Which I will refer to as segregationist, conservative, and liberal, for want of a better name.) I rejec t this idea. I reject the idea that any extreme position should dictate my actions. What the advocates of these positions say would be fine if they were di scussing vague philosophical problems or mathematical questions, but there is little room for ivory tower reasoning in ' practical politics. 'P 6lilical · questions must be decided on practical considera tions as well as the ethical and philosophical aspects. The liberals tell us we must have complete integration now - send the troops down south, bus the chi ldren in N ew York , investigate every business, put a Negro on every block. What is going to happen if we do as they say? Are the troops goin g to make th e bigot love his new schoolmate? Is bussing going to guarantee a better education to all , as we are told? Does moving a block above your economic and educationa l means create acceptance or does it add to the very stereotype that you are trying to destroy? I believe that the Negro or any other citizen has the same right to equal housing, employment, education , and opportunity as any other citizen has. There is no question in my mind that the liberals and I have the same goals in this situation . The qu estion is the means of accomplishing these goals. I do not believe that simple legal and political equali ty will be suffic ient. There is a social equality that is as important. This social equality will never be achieved as lon g as the "liberals" go running through society like a blindfold ed bull in a china shop, flailing out a t every windmill and Mummers' parade. This is not to say that all militancy is wrong. Direct action in the North as well as in the South is necesssary. But possibly there should be a little pragmatism sprinkl ed in with the idealism. Actions should be evaluated as to what will be accomplished, rather than whether or not they are philosophically in th e right general direction. The conservative argument that the state should deal w ith almost all civil rights questions is insupportable. Their main arguments were written during a different tim e in our history . The nation is no longer made up of thirteen scattered states with poor communications. We are a large closelyknit nation. A nation committed to equality and justice. We cannot tolerate anyone repressing the rights of our citizens. The conservatives always quote the works of Jefferson, but these quotes are out of the context of the time. I have no doubt tha t Jefferson , if he were alive today , would be a strong advocate o f equal rights. The segregationist position that any citizen is less equal than any other because of race is so ridiculous I will not even dignify it with comment. I am not trying to discourage the extremists from expressing their opinions, but I am asking the public, the average man, to think and act with reason and not to get involved in th e strong emotional tides that are enveloping our country.

An attendance quorum is mandatory! have to be told th ese things with an air that this is the first time they have heard them. I would like to say this in answer to Things I Should Know About Me. perhaps there are a few things this institution should know about me. First of all ,I come from a home where we have always had showers, soap, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, and not merely as curiosity pieces. I have finished the second grade and am supposed to have the intelligence and ability to handle the work of an American College Sophomore. I feel that it is an insult to me and the gr'ossest hypocrisy on the part of f\lie college to expect me to have finisji~d 12 years of schooling , have befter than average intelligence, some degree of ability in learning, and yet bring up a matter of "not being couth to cuth ," or being nice to my campus friends, as if I had never heard of them before. Perhaps a title that would best sum up the stupidity and hypocrisy would be something like "You're Now Men and Woman, Kiddies." Theodore J. Gourley, Jr. SO YOU WANT SOME MONEY D ear Editor, The editorial in the Beacon of April JO, entitled, " Give the Clubs a Chance" indicates an apparent importance of money to campus clubs. But, does an active program which encompasses the features you have listed really require a great deal of money? I don 't think so. However, because you have pointed out a situation which you believe is affecting the operation of many clubs, a special meeting to discuss this " money problem w ill be, held on organizations will send reprfsentatives Wednesday, April 29. I hope that all and be prepared to discuss their particular financial sta tus. Sincerely, James Jones, Treasurer Student Government POSITION CLARIFIED D ear Editor: As a result of complaints from, and suggestions by, the studen t body, Student Government formulated a group of policies concerning dances. The policies were put into effect in September in an effort to satisfy these requests, and to improve the quality of the dances. We have repeatedly asked for , an in most cases received , the co-operation of the campus organizations holding dances. The policies are: I . A COAT CHECK with numbered tags, must be provided and attended all evening - at no cost to the students. However, tips may be accepted. 2. Dances are open to COLLEGE STUDENTS ONLY. Activity cards are to be checked at the door. Students from other colleges are welcome. A college student may, of course, bring a date or guest who is a high school student. 3. All men must wear SPORT JACKETS. Sweaters are NOT acceptable. 4. It is the responsibility of the organization sponsoring the dance to enforce these policies. Failure to do so will be taken into account in the awarding of future dates. Since these policies came about as a result of requests by the student body, we are once again asking for the support of all organizations in enforcing them. Thank You, Steve Paradise Chairman, Calendar Committee THANK YOU D ear Editor: I would like to take this time on behalf of Student Government to publicly thank captain-elect Tom Trosko of the football team for his capable assistance in coaching the Student Government football team . It is without question that the time he spent with us proved to be a valuable a sset toward our victory last Friday night. Thanks again, Tom . Sincerely yours, Ron Czajkowski �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 17, 1964 BINDER: SIN, STARVATION, SALVATION by Andrea Templar Barrett F. Binder joined the College's English Department at the beginning of the present semester. On his first teaching assignment, Mr. Binder finds the College an ideal ground to test his methods. Having earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania and his Masters degree at Columbia University, and having augmented his education by attending Columbia University's Law School, he is able to compare the teaching methods of the large university and the small college. Mr. Binder feels that the small college places a greater emphasis on teaching than on scholarship, a situation opposite to that at a large university. ··1 don"t minimize the importance of scholarship, but I believe that a good teacher must be a scholar, and to be a capable scholar he must also be a good teacher. Teaching requires that the student and teacher learn from each other. The teacher-student relationship on the small college level permits this interaction which is so difficult to attain at the large university. In choosing English as his major field , Binder turned from chemistry, a field equally attractive to him. He found literature to be a " peaceful involvement, " and its importance to people, immeasurable. He believes that good literature is not written for the academic elite, but for great groups of people. His goal is to promote this realization through his teaching. He earned his Masters degree in 17th Century English literature, writing his thesis on "Sin and Irony in George Herbert's The Temple". In this field he is particularly concerned with Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton. In 19th Century Russian literature, his other chief area , he is interested in Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Goncharov, Gogol , and Pushkin. Writes "Guitar Operas" Mr. Binder spends considerable time writing music and has written what he calls "guitar operas". These are stories without words, the stories being told by the tones and rhythms of his electric guitar. INTRUSION one of his Barrett F. Binder first compositions, is a tale of loneliness. Single notes reflect the quiet is created by a similar theme, played despondency of a man viewed from a loudly and harshly. As the figure condistance.

The picnic, IEC's first project, will be held in Kirby Park on Sunday, April 19, from 1-6 p.m. There will be sports and hootenanny groups for entertainment, and refreshments may be bought at the concession stand. From 6-9 p .m. the Starfires will play at a dance in the Wilkes Gym. FLY FOR ZOES IDC'S second annual Fly for Zoes Day, cancelled from last week, will be held Sunday, April 19, at the Forty Fort Airport. Tickets may be purchased at the airport for a mere fee of $2. by Ruth Partilla The nam es of the eleven candidates for Cinderella, chosen by student body vote in last week's assembly have just been released. Lorraine Dyers, Jane Edwards, Barbara Gallagher, Rose Hagel , Barbara Lore, Ginny Mason , Rachel Phillips. Joan Pitney, Gail Roberts, and Jo Signorelli will vie for the title. The Cinderella Ball, to be held this year on May 15, will take place at the Gus Genetti Hotel ( formerly the Hotel Redington) in Wilkes-Barre instead of at the gynasium, as in former years. Voting for Cinderella will take place Friday , April 24, along with class elections. Jerry Jean Baird, general chairman of the affair, has announced that the week-end will also include a concert by the Smothers Brothers, popular comedy folk singers. Those students who purchase tickets for the concert will be able to attend the Cinderella Ball for the price of only two dollars per couple. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• College (happiness) approaches to comfort him. The opening theme, originally somber, now portrays happiness, for it is now played in a major key. That is, the musical keys are attitudes, two ways of viewing a situation, with sadness and with happiness. The two characters disagree, their anger re• sounding in electric vibrations and emotions. The Intruder, failing to cheer his lonely friend, leaves, and the theme takes up as it had begun, single notes reflecting a man's loneliness. Mr. Binder makes multiple recordings of some of his music. He tapes the melody , and then records the harmony to it. H e and some fri ends once recorded an album called "Music for the Mentally Unbalanced." Its cuts included "Rock around the Clock" , played as a sonata, and the " Hungarian Dance", set to a rock'n roll beat. H e also mentioned having once created a successful ensembl e during his teens , a jazz group called The Salvation Army Band. D etails on this , however , were not in abundance. Mr. Binder nearly starved himself as a undergraduate.

Since the weigh t limit was 155 pounds, he dieted until he qualified. By that time he was nearly too weak to row. Finally he adjusted and managed to make the team. The value of this feat may be questionable , because his crew lost all but one race - the one the other team lost by default. Speaks of Kennedy Mr. Binder spoke of his admiration for the late President Kennedy. " Wh en I was an undergraduate, I took little interest in politics. I'm ashamed to say that I never even took a political science or history course in college. But when Kennedy came to office my attitude changed. H e generated in me an awareness of and an enthusiasm for what was going on in America and in the world. His actions mad e me see the importance of equal rights, compassion, energy, open mindedness, and dignity. I th ink this was his greatest contribution as President," Mr. Binder indicated that although he greatly enjoys teaching at the College, he must comple te his graduate study. Therefore, he will teach and study at Tufts University next year.

U. Here Tomorrow by Don DeFranco The Wilkes College tennis teams opened the current season at home last Saturday by dropping a 6-3 decision to Lycoming. Last year the Warriors defeated the Colonels by an identical score. The Colonels compiled an enviable record of 6 wins and 3 losses last season, and they are confident of an equally successful season this year. Coach Thomas MacFarland's squad is composed of six returning lettermen led by Bill Douglas, who was defeated in singles matches last year. Douglas Still Unbeaten In the Lycoming match, Douglas extended his winning streak by downing Taylor 6-2, 6-2. Fred Smithson garnered the only other win in singles play defeating Marty Sher 8-6, 6-1, while the number three team of Smithson and Owen Frances had the only doubles win. Tomorrow the Colonels meet the Susquehanna " racquetteers" on the home court at the Wilkes Athletic Field. Fred A. Grosse, now in his fourth season as tennis coach, guided the Crusaders to a 10-2 log last year, winning the final eight matches on th e schedule. The team this year is somewhat hampered by th e loss of Wall Woernle, Clark Mosier, Bob Summer, and Dave Sales via the graduation route. Wednesday, April 22 the Colonels will travel to Scranton University for a match at Weston Field. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Friday, April 17, 1964 YEAGEB RECEIVES TOP ATHLETIC AWABD DUBING ANNUAL ALL SPOBTS BANQUET ROSEANNE HALLET & embodies team spirit and is given in honor of a former Wilkes player who lost his li fe in an automobile accident shortly after the 1948 season.

Friday, April 24, /' Rants 'n Raves Duty, Honor, Country by A. M. Airola "Duty-Honor-Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, and what you w ill be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when th ere seems to be little ca use for faith ; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn ." D ouglas MacArthur ment reaffirm their belief in free enterprise , and at the next conspire to fix prices in industry? Flag waving editorials try to convince us that the conspirator and the slanderer are only minorities. NO! NO! Those people are not a minority. With pride we say that we have no racial problems in WilkesBarre. And yet, a brick is thrown. Was that brick-thrower a minority? Or, perhaps, did not some of us sit back and acquiesce in our opinions? Did not some of us agree? Or, worse ye t, did not some o f us even lack the courage to commit ourselves in either direction and merely say nothing? What do Duty and Honor mean to such people? Is one ·s duty to his company so great that he must prostitute his honor in order to cheat and steal by fixing prices at the expense of free enterprise? D oes duty to country mean so little? Letters to the editor or sermons do little because each one of us disassociates ourselves from the conspira tor or sland erer: W e are not guilty o f fixing prices; we did not throw a brick. We turn to each other wi th smug smil es of complaisance. Who did do those things? The person who was caught; certainly not us. A man died recently a man of hi gh ideals. He was laid to rest in a memorial. P erhaps we have buried his concep tion of "Duty, Honor, Country" with him. Another monument to something whic h once was, another mon• ument to a people that were. What is the solution to this hypocrisy? It is our Duty not only to respect the rights of others, but to defend those rights against the brick-thrower. Similarly we are Honor bound to protect free enterprise from the selfish conspirator. Only through such appli cations of Duty, and Honor can our Country hope to rema in viable.

For the most part, these changes will effect only incoming freshm en. However, upper-classmen will have to ad just their courses to the changes. The presen t requirements for one semester survey courses, such as Biology 100 and Sociolog y 100, will be extended to include two full semesters or Biology 101 and 102 and Sociology 101 and 102. This change will necessitate the need for more close counselling between students and advisors. Previously , the catalogue requirements under which all students originally registered prov ided for the basic survey courses. Howeve r, in some cases the student may fulfill his course requirements by registering for one semester of the two-semester courses. In other cases, both semes ters are necessa ry to fulfill the stud ent 's req uiremen ts. Another major change will include the corporation of these general subject requirements into th e total Bachelor of Arts progra m: English 101, 102, 151, 152; Hi story IOI, 102; Philosophy IO I, I 02; Fine Arts IOI or Music I 00; Foreign Languages I 01, 102, 103, 104; Math ema tics 10 1, 102, Physics 101 , 102, or Biology 101 , 102; Econom ics PIOI, 102, yPolitical Science IOI , 102, sycholog IOI , 102, or Soc iology IOI, 102; Physical Education 101, 102. 103, 104, 105, 106. The req uired program for the education curriculum has also been greatly altered. Th e Bachelor of Science d egree in Education has been eliminated from the curriculum. Students who pla n to teach either at th e elementary or secondary level must choose a major from one of the major subject areas. This subj ec t must be chosen from those listed under th e Bachelor o f Arts o r Bachelor of Science degree programs. Th e individual department will then advise the stud ent on what su bjects he should take to fulfill the state teaching certification requirements, which can be scheduled as electi ves in his junior and se nior yea rs. T eaching certification requirements necessa ry for most s tates can be met at th e College. Howeve r, s tudents are ex pected to familiarize themselves wi th s pec ifi c state requirements. In addition to changes in the curri culum , there have also been many changes in the catalogue itself. A number of new sections have been added by the Administra tion. A special section devoted to social activ ities has been added to interest prospective fr eshmen.

Bei ng a consistent win ner, Bill is especially outstanding in singles matches. Last year Bill produced an unblemished singles record and is continuing along an identical road this season. To date he ha s won fifteen consecutive singles matches and has exhibited many fin e performances in the doubles events which he has participated in. Bill has stated hi s desire for an increase in interest in tennis by the student body and feels that the tea m would be greatly supported by an increase in attendance at the matches. Bill's play has certainly been one of the main reasons the Colonels look forward to a winning season.

Outstanding tea m play was instrumental in gaining the win as Bill Douglas, Gary E inhorn and Dave Closterman turned in twin victories for th e day. The Colonels took three of the six singles matches and made a clean sweep of the doubles. Einhorn, playing exce ptionally consistant tennis, overcame his opposition 6-2, 6-4. Closterman, inconsistent at first, lost the opening set 4-6. Not ready to give up , he pushed hard and overcame a deficit of 0-3 in the second set to eventually win it 6-4 and fol lowed this with a beautiful 3rd set win of 6-3. Douglas smashed his way to another one of his many triumps 6-2, 6-3.

The Trojans pulled out to an early lead in the game and were neve r hea ded , even though Barre threatened th eir lead several times.

Vetter turned in the most prolific scoring effort of the night as he compiled a total of 33 points. Barre Hall was led by Craig Houlis tan , who played a masterful game from the pivot position and racked up 8 goals and 4 fouls for a total of 20 points.

Among those who went down to defeat were Junior Class president, Al Gilb ert; Sophomore Class president, Bob D ee ts; and Student Government secretary, Vicki Tatz. The Sophomore Class retained only three of its eight officers in an election - marked by bitter campaigning. Joe Chanecka, a dormitory student from Binghamton, New York, defeated the incumbent Bob Deets and the incumbent vice-president Phil Cheifetz for the presidency in a close race. To Student Government, the class elected Ron Searfoss and John Cavallini and re-elected Harry Wilson and Simon Russin .

Marybeth Kennedy was re-elected secretary without opposition. The Junior Class, following the school-wide trend, turned out its president, Al Gilbert, a veteran of two years in that post. He was defeated by Ed Comstock, a Secondary Education major from West Pittston. Coms~ock's only challenge came from Larry Gubanich, brother of the current Senior Class President, who came within twenty-eight votes of victory. The class turned down the re-election bids of Steve Paradise, ending his three year tenure on the Student Government and Marie Shutlock, who was running as a junior although she is serving on the Student Government as a sophomore. The victors were incumbents Cathy De Angelis and Don Ungemah; incumbent vice-president, Ken Antonini; and a dark horse, John Lore.

Friday, May 1, 1964 De ANGELIS, UNGEMAII NOMINATED HAMPTON EXCHANGE COMPLETED AS 16 SPEND WEEKEND AT WILKES by Andrew Thorborn This weekend Wilkes will serve as host to six teen students from Hampton Institute in Virginia. The weekend will complete the annual exchange program between the two schools which was begun in 1956 through th e close friendship between Dean Ralston and D ean Hawkins of Hampton. Two weeks ago, twelve Wilkes students, accompanied by George Elliot and Millie Gittens, spent an active weekend at Hampton as guests of the Hampton students. Th e Wilkes students left by car after classes Wednesday afternoon, April 15, spent the night in Bowie Md. and arrived at Hampton on Friday, about 4 p.m. The weekend's activities began immediately after dinner with an informal fellow ship hour aimed at giving the Wilkes visitors a chance to meet as many Hampton students as possible. "' Friday was one of the busiest days of the entire weekend. The morning was devoted to visiting classes and the afternoon featured a tour of th e beautifully-landscaped campus. In addition to the natural beauty of th e campus, the v isitors were treated to a tour of the new two-million-dollar communication building. This modern concrete structure, eventually to house all - departments of oral and written communication, contains one of the finest little theaters in the country - complete with a revolving stage, a fully equiped television studio, and fully -operative radio station. In addition, it houses the music department, including practice rooms and a small rec ital ~ hall , and a modern language lab. Th e social highlight of the weekend was th e dinner-dance Saturday night in a private club near the campus. This was the last official event of the weekend, and Sunday morning , after church services, the students left Virqinia and the 80-degree temperature for the cold and rain of th e Wyoming .. Valley. Y es terday , the Hampton students arrived to complete th e exchange. After arriving and eating in the cafeteria , th e visitors were shown to the dorm s where th ey will stay for the rest of the weekend. In the evening, an informal get-together was held in the new Snack Bar to which all Wilkes students were invited. Today , th e Hampton students are free to visit classes on our campus, and tonight , there will be a free dance in the Gym , featuring the Concepts, a singing group. Saturday, the students who went to Hampton and the I.D.C. which sponsors the program, will join the Hamptonians in a picnic as the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg. Saturday night, th e same group will attend a buffet dinner at th e Europa Lounge here in Wilkes-Barre. The v isitors from Hampton plan to leave for home at 12 Sunday morning , but judging from past years, both th e guests and th e hosts will see that their departure is delayed for some lengthy good-byes. Students Decide May 11 by A. M. Airola The most important topics of Monday night's Student Government meeting were discussions concerning the newly passed Constitutional Amendments, and the nomination of candidates for Student Government President. President Ridi_ilrd Bums• prefaced his remarks by saying that this is the first time that Wilkes College has directly elected its Student Government President. He emphasized the point that this is a trial period, and that all membens of the student ~ dy should take the election seriously, and vote for the candidate they honestly think would pro·: vide the most · effective leadership for Student Government in the coming year. SCIENCE ACADEMY INDUCTS YEVITZ by Lois Dr. P . C. Martin, president of the P ennsylvania Academy of Science, recently notified Marguerite Yevitz, freshman chemistry major, that she has received membersh ip in the Academy. College professors almost entirely constitute th e organization; Marguerite is one of the few undergraduates ever invited to join. Th e young scientist attended the Academy's spring meeting conducted during the Easter recess at Penn State Universi ty . The purpose of th e gathering was to familiarize members with the latest achievements in science. Many professors delivered papers on their recent research. Marguerite, the sole undergraduate in attendance, was asked to give her paper entitled " Protection from Total Body Irradiation." The essence of Margu erite's paper, written after much individual research , is " ra diation protection in a bottle." In her laboratory work, the young chemist fed a number of agents to mice prior to a lethal dose of radiation with a controlled group of mice. After this irradiation , all of the controll ed animals were dead , while the treated animals showed no ill effects. The agents which have shown the most promise to Marguerite are an PROSPECTIVE FROSH PREVIEW COLLEGE LIFE by Sandra Gassner Over 200 prospective day and res' ident stud ents were on hand to view college life on ca mpus. For the first tim e local students participated in the I.D.,<;::. sponsored " Freshman W eekend . As the students began to arrive ea rly Friday afternoon , they were welcomed in the different dorms where they were to stay for the nex t few days. Friday evenin(:I these futur e students were served dinner at th e Commons after which they were given some time to rest and prepare for th e evening ahead. At 7:30 they were entertained at a film given by the Manuscript entitled "Viridiani". This marked th e first event of the long weekend ahead. At 9:30 the prospective freshmen were guests at the " Freshm en Frolic" , a dance sponsored by the Accounting Club. Members of the different stud ent organizations were on hand to make eve ryone feel at home and have a good time. The music was provi ded by the "Starfires" and the Wilkes Collegians provided inter- mission entertainment. The long program for Saturday began with a me eting of both the day , and resident students in the gym. The D ean of Women, Margaret Ahlborn , a nd th e Dean of M en, George Ralston , welcomed the freshmen and gave brief talks on "College Life". Alphonso Zawadski also talked about college finances . Following the meeting the students were given a glimpse of what a typical class would be like by attending mock classes conducted by Stanley Gutin , Dr. Robert Riley , Rob(Continued on page 3) Petroski ultraviolet, light-absorbing benzophenone, Uvinul MS-40, and ethyl alcohol. The young woman describes the person who is most likely to survive radiation fall -ou t as " he who is caught dead drunk in an underground cold-storage cellar." A discussion succeeded Marguerite's report at Penn State. Academy mem bers advised her to continue working along the same lines. "Protection from Total Body Irradiation" will appear in the summer issue of the Duquesne University Science Counselor and in the March issue of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science newsletter. While still a student at the local St. Nicholas High School, the young woman first integrated the paper for the 1962 King's College Science Fair, in which Marguerite gained th e outstanding honor of being the first girl ever named Grand Champion. Preceding completion of her paper, she did immense researc h at King 's, where the Biology Department chairman, Reverend William H . Donahue, advised her a great deal because of the deep interest he took in her work. Marguerite continued to prepare her radiation paper and, with it, captured the Grand Championship in the University of Scranton Science Fair, also held in 1962. In addition, she took first place in Biology at Scranton. By winning , she gained an all-expense-paid jet trip to the National Science Fair International in Sea ttle , Washington. H ere Marguerite received a fourth place award in medicine and health. Also on the young woman's impressive list of scientific honors is a first place award in chemistry at the 1962 and 1963 State meetings of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science held at Kutztown . Marquerite was also winner of the Pennsylvania Science Talent Research project, and was selected as regional delegate to the Fourth Youth Conference on the Atom held in Chicago. Before the opening of nominations there was a short hassel concerning whether or not Seniors would be allowed to vote. However, because of the way in which the newly passed amendment concerning the direct election of President was written, Seniors will be allowed to vote. Nominations were opened and Cathy D e Angelis and Don Ungemah were selected to vie for the Presidential spot. In a surprise attempted draft , John Lore was nominated but declined and refrained from giving any reason . In an interview Tuesday afternoon, both Cathy and Don said that they were eager to face a popular election for President. Both mentioned that they were happy that the election of the Student Government President was now before the entire Student Body . When asked what issues they hoped to stress in their campaigns, Don said that he would campaign on the basis of '' not what has been done, but what can be don e." Cathy, on the other hand, said that her primary concern was to carry on the work that had been started this year. She approved strongly the apparent willingness of Student Government to take a stand upon specific issues, such as the recent stand taken on the prompt dismissal of classes. She hopes to see a continuation of the trend of planning "big weekends." Also, Cathy expressed the desire to see the establishment of regular meetings between administration and Student Government leaders. Don, maintaining his desire for forward progress, hopes that Student Government will take a definite stand (Continued on page 2} SPECIAL MEETING OF STUDENT BODY Tuesday, 11 :00 a.m. - Gym Cathy DeAngelis and Don Ungemah, Student Government presidential nominees, w i I I speak to students.

We are referring, of course, to the enthusiasm which was generated by the candidates at each class level. academic year, and crawle d out, depressed by its bald shock techniques and its complete cynicism. The emotional Posters were so numerous that many students had difficulty recognizing the various buildings on campus simply because most of them were so completely covered with them that it was impossible to decide whether they were class buildings or political head quarters. In addition to the posters, parades, political rallies, and personal contact were all part of the campaign. The result of this was the largest Student election vote in the history of the college. Analysis of the cause and effect relationship of this event discloses the fact that the result of this over-whelming turnout at the polls was the enthusiasm generated by the respective candidates. This conclusion raises a very interesting question with regards to the other "activities" conducted by other campus organizations. If candidates were able to encourage a large turnout at the polls, why, we ask, can't club members use the same technique to insure the success of their club sponsored projects. With the proper amount of honest enthusiasm internally generated, financial failures would be unheard of, and clubs would function more coherently, both as an operating unit and financial success. Money problems would disappear and apathy would be nonexistent. A remedy is known, the procedure is simple ... let us just follow in the path which has been cleared for us by our leaders. J.J.K. NO 'THING' Sixteen students from Hampton Institute arrived at the ton exchange, the purpose of which is to promote understandCollege yesterday to complete the ninth annual Wilkes-Hamping and to offer an experience not gained from mere academic studies. While not undermined, the purpose is perhaps relegated to the rear during the exchange, for, after speaking with those who have visited Hampton, one is left feeling as though something was left unsaid. Few mention the word " understanding." This in itself is understandable for many Things are designed for the promotion of understanding. And Things spend the rest of their time endeavoring to prove it. Understanding itself, however, is a feeling , not a " doing." Such adjectives as " gratifying" and "pleasing" do not exactly explain what happens in the Wilkes-Hampton exchange program. But then, how do you explain the sight of a rainbow in the sky reflected in a raindrop? A.P. Welcome, Hampton.

Kla ips impact, negative and non-carthartic though it may be, is strong. There is no sweetness or light in the devastating picture of rural Spain, catching up on a technological lag uder th e master-minding of Jorge, a twentieth-century Nietzschean illegitima te son and heir to an estate that has been neglected by his wealthy landowner father Jaime, lost in an erotically wishful past. Certainly what Bunuel, director and collaborating script writer, had to say has been said many times. Charity is outdated. The Flesh is the Word. Etreme poverty degrades and turns men into pigs. Christ's teachings are a mockery in our world. The film won the Grand Prix at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival. This is understandable because it is, despite its pessimism, stark, bold, and artful. Some of its power lies in exaggerations, in its prototypal characters, in its use of tradi tional symbols in a more objective manner than those of Bergman. Its startling realism is carried almost to the point of melodrama. Even the young and fair novitate Viridiana with her sen timental charity shows traces of spiritual weakness and misdirection early. As her name , from the Latin: green, fr esh, indicates, she symbolizes Christian idealism a nd wa nts a life of service to the Church. Against her instincts she visits her Uncl e Jaim e before taking her final vows. His drugging ruse , his subsequent deception when he cannot take her, and his suicide cause her to renounce , direct service to religion. The sheltering of a group of th e blind, th e deformed , the hopelessly impoverished on the country estate, inherited w ith Jorge, is a substitute; but she is broken w hen the mendicants, left alone, engage in a wild orgy and on her return assault her. Disillusioned , she g::ies to Jorge's room to lea rn "to play cards" with his servantmistress and him . This is her penance and her death. This is the bare and ugly continuity. Symbols carry heavy weight in the th ematic treatmen t. The Christ-like properties of Viridiana are concretized in the crown of thorns she wears , in the nails and th e Cross before w hich she prays. The crown is later destroyed in a cleaning-up bonfire. H er innocence is th e child's whose skipping rope is at first a thing of innocence and play. The same rope becomes in turn a noose with which Uncle Jaime hangs himself, a belt for th e lascivious beggar's trousers, and a sign of desperate hanging on to the las t shred of purity in the scene where she is attacked.

C athy and D on agreed that next year holds special promise for Student Government because of the excellent choice of Student Government Representatives by the Student body. Concerning qualifications, Cathy has held important offices throughout her three years, She has been Freshman Class President, Secretary of Student Government in her sophomore year, Vice-President this year, and is currently in her third year as VicePresident of Sterling Hall, Don, also has had a wide degree of experience in his three years at Wilkes. He has been a member of Student Government this year, a member of the Student Union Governing Board, a member of I.D.C., football manager in his sophomore year, and an officer of Butler Hall. Elections for Student Government President and presentation of eighteen more Constitutional Amendments will be Monday , May 11 , 1964. Sample ballots of the Amendments will be ava ilable before the election. Attempts are a lso being made to secure th e use of vot in g machines for this election. Following the election of President, Student Government will nominate and elect its Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary for next year. In a white-black contrast, Jorge , the handsome, confident Ma ster, modernizes the estate a nd scorns her piety. H e is the superman. However, in his purchase of the weary dog, tied and running under the wagon, and in his bribing of the diseased beggar to murder th e assaulter of Viridi ana, there , are glimmerings of unsentimental feeling. H e is power; he is ruthlessness; he is "modern" man, eschewing moral codes other than his own. Did Franco ban the film because he saw too many parallels to his own career? O r was he perturbed at the aspersions cast on th e Church 's power machinations and a mbiguities when Viridiana sat down to th e card game - and the Master smiled in triumph? Whose face was Franco saving by th e film blackout? Do you think such an ethical code can be w ritten? If so, exactly what points should be included ?

The Wilkes College baseball diamond had this atmosphere last week in its game with Lebanon Valley, where the Colonels showed their "'stuff" in all positions. The Beacon sports staff covered this game and from it the selection of '" Athlete of the Week"" was made. This issue's choice is southpaw Rick Klick. Rick attended Kingston High School and lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He was a member of the Key Club and the National Honor Society . In his senior year at Kingston, he co-captained the football team, which produced a winning season. In 1962, Rick entered Wilkes and in his freshman year played football and baseball. His performance on the baseball team earned him a letter that year. Now in his sophomore year, he intends to put his main efforts in baseball. Lefty starts slow Rick, a lefty , pitches true to form in most games, starting slow and ending strong. He states that the first inning is his most difficult, but he qainst control as the game progresses. Rick has begun to rely on his curve ball to pull him out of tight spots. In the contest with Lebanon Valley, Rick pitched every inning in the 14 stanza contest. In that game, 3 of the 4 runs scored against him were unearned. Rick credits the whole team with the win, but the staff feels that his coolness under pressure was the outstanding factor in the victory. The team sports a 3-4 record, and Rick predicts the team will end the season with a majority of wins. The standing line-up is all veterans, and the prospects do look good. Rick is a sophomore Commerce and Finance major. With two more years to go, he is one of the reasons for optimism on the Colonel baseball squad. For this reason and for performance last week, the Beacon presents him with "'Athlete of the Week" honors. TWO CONTESTS TOT AL 30 INNINGS AS WILKES WINS IN 14, LOSES IN 16 Rick Klick . . .

Rick Klick went the distance on the mound for Wilkes, picking up strength as the game went along. Even in the extra innings, Klick appeared as if he was breezing along on his record win , gaining 6 of his t I 3 strikeouts in the overtime stanz~s. Lebanon Valley drew first blood on a freak infield error in the 5th . Th e three runs plated by the Flying Dutchmen in that inning were all unearned. In the home team half of the same inning, D el Giberson smashed a long drive to centerfield ending up on 2nd with 2 R.B.I. "s to his credit. Wilkes came back in th e 8th to take a 4-3 lead , but Lebanon Valley ~notted the score in the top of the 9th to send the game into overtime. Matt Himlin put the clin cher on the game in the 14th by singling in John Uhl w ho opened the fram e with a si ngl e.

In 1961, approximately three hundred archaeologists attended a state convention for which the College granted the use of its facilities. Mr. Rusbar, who has done extensive lecturing on the subject, is available for any group which is interested in slides and information pertaining to the excavations. Students interested in the project,, which is under the direction of Mrs. George Picton, are urged to be at the site of the new athletic field tomorrow morning at 10:30. Under the supervision of members of the Frances D orrance Society, each student will be allowed to keep whatever relics he excavates and can carry home. Mr. Rusbar feels certain that, due to the abundance of relics found in the past, almost everyone who digs will find some type of relic in the excavations.

ACTION is what I will take if I am elec ted to become the President of the Student Government. In order for one to take action , he will have to move ahead. I don ' t believe that we as a s tudent body can be content with just what has been done by the Student Government, or even content with just moving along those same lines. We a lso must do more and better things. We must rely upon what CAN be done, and this is ACTION. ABILITY is what I believe I have for this job . It is true that I have not concentrated my interes ts with the Studen t Government alone, but have diversified interests. I have in the pas t been a member of IDC, the Student Union Governing Board , Treasurer of CCUN, Football manager, Studen t Activities Committee, and an officer of Butler Hall. ACHIEVEMENT is what I plan to work towards if elec ted. I believe that a great many things can be accomplished. I think that the Student Government must, as the representatives of th e student body, take th e position as a liason more and more between the Student Body and the Administration. But in doing th is it should at all times represent the student body . I think that the Student Government can at least try to do more. But the only way to do this is to stand up and be counted. Now, do not get me wrong, I am make if Student Government or anfor Big Weekends on the Campus other organization on campus gets and am always open for any sug- credit in its minutes that it accomqestions concerning them.

Jim Jones, Treasurer of Student Government, recently conducted a discussion for represen tatives of all campus organizations interested in new ways of increasing their club 's treasuries. In the course of discussion Jim stated that the proposed social calendar would have o nly twelve dances during the year, four of these would naturally go to the classes. H e said that th is was in line with th e Student Government's policy of promoting bigger weekends on campus next year. Jim also asked for possible suggestions for new fund-rai sing projects. H e explained the possibility of the clubs having one collective treasury to be regulated by Studen t Government , eliminating returns to the administration of fund s alloted for the ac tivities budget. This meeting was called in response to an editorial appearing in the Beacon, April l 0. The editorial called for more opportunities for small clubs to make money to carry out their Don Ungemah programs. by John Lore This year's election of the Student Government President will mark an important milestone in the history of Wilkes College. For th e first time the Presid ent will be directly elected by th e student body. The innovation is a result of th e passage by the student body of the popular election amendment along with nine other changes to th e Student Body Constitution. Under this setting , the Student Government s till retains the nomination of it's Presidential candidates, but the election is given to th e whole student body. Further, Student Government still maintains the nomination and election of its other three officers. For this initial popular election, two candidates have been nominated: Cathy D eAngelis, junior Biology major; and Don Ungemah, junior History major. These nominees explained their platform to a spec ial meeting of the student body last Tu e~day . Miss DeAngelis said that she favored th e carrying on of actions started this year by Student Government, such things as student Seminars and big weekends. She also stressed the fact that nex t year 's Student Government w ill'_ have nine new members, and while this results in new ideas and vigor, the group will need ex~ perienced leader-ship to correctly channel their energies. Un gemah's platform is based on his triple "A " theme of Action, Ability, and Achi evement. Some of his proposals are monthly seminars between Student Government and (Continued on page 4) DeAngelis Stresses "Experience" Cathy DeAng elis Travel Seminar Planned The Student Seminar Committee under the auspices of Student Government will present a seminar on American Students Abroad next week. Cha irman Sumner Hayward announced that Gail Roberts has arranged for several Wilkes Students who have traveled abroad to a ttend the seminar. Discussion will include hosteling , vacations, and winter and summer study programs. Th e seminar should be very beneficial and interesting to any students planning to study or travel abroad . Hayward requested any individual or organization interested in sponsoring a seminar next semester to speak with him about obtaining a date from the Sem inar Committee. Also , any suggestions for informative and interesting seminar topics will be welcomed by the Committee. The stu den t body of Wilkes will be faced for the first time with the problem of selecting the best candidate for th e office of Student Government President on Monday. This change to popular balloting is a good example of the transi tion that is beginning to take place at Wilkes. Our College is striving forward academically and expanding its facilities to meet th e demands of progressi ve tim es. Student Government has also recogn ized th e need for expansion and the necessity of providing for the stud ents' interests, both intellectually and socially . This past year we have innovated a program towa rds thi s end. Such changes as th e Student Seminar Program, Student Activities Nights, a nd combined high-light activities, such as the upcoming Smothers Brothers-Cinderella Ball-Spring Weekend, are only the beginning o f a much needed stimulating social calendar.

Under th ese amendm ents, a three-fourths instead of a two-thirds vote of a pproval of the Government's membership on recall , on proposed amendments, and on ove rridin g the decision of the Court of Appeals w ill make it more difficult to ve to th ese important issu es. Also considered in this change was the difficulty of obtaining a two-thirds number of sixteen , which is th e number of mem bers voting when the president abstains. C lass officers will be nominated the ninth week of th e Spring semester instead of the previously advocated tenth week, thu s allowing for two weeks of campaigning before elections. A change in the number req uired for a quorum from ten to nine is fel t necessary to facilitate the transaction of business of the Government in the early part of the Fall Semeste r. At this tim e the membership is thirteen, due to the absence of Freshman representatives who are not elected until later in the semester. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 EDITORIALS .

I would like to avail myself of the own decisions as to what is right and I know what is coming next. You We have already passed an amendment allowing the government, by its own determination , to close its meetings to the student body. This power, when exercised, would allow the government to take action without the direct scrutiny of the students. In addition , we passed another amendment allowing the government to meet as a committee of the whole. This amendment means that a meeting may be held informally and off 'the record . It further means that the Student Government President, the only school-wide popularly elected official, must yield the chair to another member of the body. Now the Government is asking us to pass another amendment. This amendment would lower the quorum needed to conduct Student Government meetings from ten members to nine members. We are offered this lo wer quorum even though th e total number of representatives ha s been increased. This mean s that, in the past, ten members out of a total of sixteen were needed to conduct business. Under the new amendment, only nine out of seventeen would be needed . Coupled with the above amendments , the dangers would be obvious. Nine members would be able to meet in secret and off the record , unseat the president, and pass legislation. In fact , only five members would have to be in favor of a motion in order to pass it. We are sure that no present representative had this in mind w hil e he was working on the amendments , but we must remember that these amendments a re also wri tten to govern Student Governments of the future . For this reason we strong ly urge a " no" vote on the amendment to Article 6, Section 5 to decrease the quorum at Student Government meetings. J.H.G. BRING YOUR SHOVEL Wilkes College is the proud owner of one fifteenth-century Indian village. The v illage is buried under the plot of land recently acquired for the new athletic field. Robert Ru sbar, president of the Frances Dorrance Chapter of_ the State Archaeological Society has invited s tudents to help m the excavation of the village. In addition to the adventure of di scovery, Mr . Rusbar has offered to let everyone keep any relic he finds . He also suggested that the material could be used for an exhibit at the college. The Archaeological Society has offered to set up the exhibit. All the college would have to do is supply the place. Of course the students invo_Jved_ woul~ have to lend their finds to the exhibit, but we don t thmk this would be a problem.

The C ompany , following the recent trend towards such proj ects, made a survey of the morals of Sekliw College women. The survey, in which some 500 girls participated, was done on an anonymous basis. The girls were asked to fill out questionnaires, but were not required to sign thei r names. The results w ere. in the words o f one college official, "shocking" . On th e question of hand holding 82% of the girls admitted that at one tim e or another they had held hands with a member of the opposite sex. Of those, 54% had done it in public and 37% with more than one partner! Even more shocking was the fact that 94.2% of the girls admitted wea ring bermuda shorts in public places; 89.7% had even worn them in the vicinity of th eir town 's central business district. The college administration lost no time in taking action. Immediately the D eans sent letters to the dormitories forbidding such actions under penalty of expulsion. A student assembly was held, and the students were instructed concerning the dangers of these immoral acts. It was explained that th e dangers were two-fold ~ th e reputations of both the coll ege and the individual were involved. The Dormitory Council, acting w ith characteristic speed and dispatch after only ten minutes of debate, passed a resolution endorsing th e Administration's stand. A representative of the organization said , "We feel that these regulations encourage dignity and maturity and will make the dormitory students feel more at home ." ,The Student Council , after meeting in an executive session as a committee of the whole, decid ed to postpone any action on this subject for a t leas t two weeks. The Council's publicity chairman told the press, ··w e need time for furth er study. W e wouldn't want to take any impetuous action on a subject as grave as th is." He did say , though, that the Council planned to hold a student seminar on th e subject. Various ex planations have been given for this situa tion. Leading among th em is the penniless condition of college students. They simply do not have the money to buy gloves during the winter, and they find handholding a partially acceptable substitute. Furthermore, bermuda shorts being only twothirds of a pair of slacks are more suited to the students' pocketbooks. Some community leaders, aghast at th e survey 's revelations have demanded that the college take stronger action to try to arrest the growing infirmity of moral turpitude infecting our young citizens. One college official best summed up the adult community's reaction to the w hole furor by saying, "It 's more uncouth to wea r shorts than to cuth." WHEN * wrong w ithin the framework of legality.

Right? Wrong : you might end up up with the film version of Tom Jones, a film which wavers uncertainly between lusty sensuality and socialistic realism and finally se ttles down to a highly forced and artificial humor. There are two things about Richardson, as a director, that are notably consistent. Both Tom Jones and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Richard son 's ea rli er and also highl y successful film , are taken from works of fiction ; one from a classic English novel, the other from a contemporary English short story. Both originals are far better than Richardson's usual interpretation of them. Tom Jones is further from Fielding than Loneliness is from Sillitoe's. Richardson 's other consis tency is more fortunate and is his one virtue as a· director.

Art Club Prepares For Annual Art Fair To Be Held Here Next Weekend by Andrea T emplar An obscure legend has it that Chase Hall was once used for the filming of horror movies. Chase's career supposedly blossomed about forty years ago under the direction of the Black Diamond Motion Picture Company. The building 's abundance of secret panels and passages effectively provides a setting for any Gothic novel, or fitting residence for any respectable vampire. Inside the main door, to the left and right are two panels which open at the release of a doorbell-like spring. Although they are now a telephone booth and a broom closet, respectively, undoubtedly they once provided a vampire with excellent means of disposing of the golden-haired young ladies he lu red into his parlour. If he chose, however, to invite his victim into the main room to enjoy a toast of sherry, he might whisk her away by any one of its hidden egresses. Flanking the fire place are two panels which also operate on the spring principle. Once closed they can only be opened by someone standing behind them ( another vampire, perhaps.) Another choice might be to use the mahogany door which otherwise remains flush against the panelled wall, its ominous sec ret undetectable. If the young lady is perceptive, she may suspect her host's actual motives. If she seeks refuge aga inst the mirrored wall outside Mr. Hoover 's office (vampires wither at the sight of mirrors, crucifixe s, herbs), she finds it not the protection it appears to be, but a hidden door leading to , of all places, the kitchen . Note: To substantiate the possibility o f the vampire's existence, upon close inspection no rosemary bushes nor bay leaf branches are found in Chase's garden. Motion Picture Fame During the period of Chase 's stardom , Wilkes-Barre itself also appeared to be heading toward motion picture fame.

The Trio has made several appearances throughout Wyoming Valley which played an important role in securing th ei r television debut.

Nevertheless, the student body has failed to exhibit moral support by attending the con, tests. We feel that one reason may be due to an inadequate knowledge of the rules. In carrying through with a precedent set by a similar article on wrestling earlier in the year, the staff wishes to briefly outline some of the rules of play and the method of scoring in an attempt to boost attendance at the meets. Starting the game - Each game is started with one player acting as server. The server stands behind the right side of th e base line to deliver the serve. Wh en served, the ball must fall w ithin the bounds of the receiving court diagonally opposite the server. A second serve is allowed if the first fails to land in the designated area. A point is gained by the receiver if bo th serves are faults - that is, if both fai l to land in the receiving court. players until one fails to return the ball across the net , or hits the ball out of bounds. The server makes a new serve wh en the ball is not returned. The second service - The second service is from the left side of the base line. The serve continues to alternate from side to side until the end of the game. At the end of the game, the receiver becomes the se rver and viceversa. The winner of six games, by a two game margin, wins a "set," and th e winner of the best out of three se ts wins the " match." In college play, there a re six singles match es and three doubles matches. Return of the service and rules of play - The serve must be returned on the first bounce, but other balls may be returned either on the first bounce or before touching the ground . Th e ball is hit back and forth between Scoring - Each ball not returned gives th e opponent a point. The points are des ignated as follows : 1st point - 15 2nd point - 30 3rd point - 40 4th point - 60 one game In order to win a game, the margin of victory must be at least 2 points. If both sides reach 40, the situation is called deuce, and one side or the other must gain a 2 point margin to win. A score of O is called love. Intramural Results Wednesday, April 29 Games postponed until May 15th Playing in a driving rainstorm , the Wilkes College golf team bowed to Susquehanna Uni versity last Thursday, 13½-4½. Coincidentally, last year 's match between the two foes was played under similar conditions and the id entical score was turned in, with Wilkes the v ictor, however. In Thursday 's match , the only victors for the Colonels were Jim Ward , who downed his opponent 2½-½. and Bob Myers, a 2-1 w inner over his foe. The loss brought the Wilkes record to 1-3. Monday , the duffers of coach W elton Farrar will play in the annual MAC Tournament being held this year at Susquehanna University. announced an intramural track meet slated for Thursday, May 21 at 4:15 p.m. at Kirby Park. The idea of an intramural track meet was initiated last yea r; however, it did not attain the enthusiasm and support which was hoped for. Although many team rosters were submitted only two teams actually participated in the meet. It is hoped that thi s will not occur again this year. This idea of an intramural track meet was sugg ested last year by Beacon Sports Editor Clark Line. Clark got the idea from Temple Uni versity, which he attended in his freshman year. An intramural track meet is common in many schools and should be an exciting addition to the intramural program at Wilkes. depend ent Division and a Dormitory Division.

In order to make it fair for everyone track shoes will not be allowed. Reese also added that individuals w ill be allowed to partitipate in four events.

An award of this ty p e was non-existent in the past; howe ver, due to the superb performance of rookie coach Arthur Hoover, it was deemed necessa ry to present such an award. Although somewhat hesitant and envious, coaches Reese and Schmidt with the cooperation of Chuck Robbins concluded that Hoover was undoubtedly entitled to receive the award. U nfortunately Hoover was unable to attend the dinner due to previous commitments; however, the award was presented at a later date. Hoover's great performance came when he was asked to fill in for Reese at a J.V. wrestling meet with D elaware Valley. The colonel squad fought hard but were left at the short end of a 2 1- 13 score, leaving Hoover with a lifetime record of no wins and one loss. H oover attributes the loss to the poor pre-match preparation by Coach Reese. Actually the loss came about by Don D eFranco Monday, May 4 , proved to be 'Black Monday' for th e Wilkes College tennis team as they suffered a depressing defeat at the hands of Moravian College, 9-0. The score, however, is not indicative of the fine spiri t displayed by the Colonels as they fought valiantly in the face of overwhelming odds. C oach MacFarland's sq uad was at a disadvantage even before ste pping on the court because of th e loss of captain Gary Einhorn through illness. As a result, each of the members of the team was moved up a slot and forced to play an opponent of a somewha t higher seeding. As the match progressed, the disadvantages became more obvious, but th e superior ability of the 'Hounds cannot be slighted . Competi tion for berths on the Moravian squad was so fierce that only three of six returning lettermen could make the team this year, and the number 1 man on the squad was a sophomore. The bleakest part of the afternoon occurred at the number 3 position w here Bill Douglas suffered defea t a fter scoring 18 straight w ins over the past 2 seasons. Douglas lost to George Kelhart, a former Junior Davis Cup Champion and undefeated thus far this year. Th e outstanding quality of the Moravian team is evidenced by this match in that Kelhart ranked only 3rd, two places behind the top men. A l Doner played an impressive match for the Colonels as he moved into the vacancy left through the loss of Einhorn. Th e match was Doner's first in varsity competition. In spite of the devas tating loss and the subsequent demoralizing effect on the team, the Colonels are confident of victory in their future matches. Tomorrow the netmen take on a potentially dangerous Ursinus team and the following Saturday they have a return engagement with Moravian. ASSISTANT TO DEAN OF MEN SELECTED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE when the colonels forfeited the 130 pound class giving thei r opponents the edge. Hoover's background has been one of many awards. After graduating from N ewport High School in 1951 , he entered Wilkes. W hile at Wilkes he was elected president of Student Government and was named to Who 's Who. H e was also a member of ICG and served as Business Manager of the Beacon for four years. Upon graduating from Wilkes, he was named the Outstanding G raduate o f the Year and selected as permanent President of th e Class of '55.

Can a vote of 550 out of a possible 1313 be considered conclusive? Can a person chosen by less than half of the student body be considered the "people's choice?" We think not. This is not to imply that the election results would have been different had the vote been doubled - but the implications certainly would have. A sparse turn-out such as this defeats the idea of popular election which we all voted in so heartily a few weeks ago. Why the change? Why should a student body, who only a few weeks ago, turned out in an enthusiastic 80 per cent mass and voted in the idea of popular election ( as well as class officers), have suddenly lost this enthusiasm. Commenting on the encouraging turn-out of the previous election, the BEACON editorially suggested that perhaps the enthusiasm of the masses was only the reflected enthusiasm of the candidates themselves. And now unfortunately we must suggest the lack of enthusiasm in this election must be at least partially attributed to the failure of the candidates to arouse student interest. Oft- times we felt that the most noise about the campaign was emanating from the pages of the BEACON. Certainly the spirited campaigning and intense personal contact of the class elections were lacking. We realize that the candidates wished to conduct a dignified and serious campaign. But it also turned out to be a dull one. It seems that rules laid down for the campaign limiting the number of posters and ruling out flyers was a mistake. The " banners in the oddest places", which the candidates of the last election so ingeniously created, made it impossible to ignore the campaign as many students did this one. It is easy enough to attribute the sparse vote to student apathy, but it should be one of the foremost goals of a student leader to spark student interest. And if this necessary spark can be struck by ridiculous, redundant posters, their use is justified. Once you capture your audience you can deliver your punch line. BAL TO THE EDITOR Thorburn's Damning Damned "Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates however nice and whimsical these may prove; and if everything is not agreeable to their taste, will, challenge a right to censure, to abuse, and to d - n their dinner without control." Fielding's comment on critics is most appli cable to th e young man who so unjustly attacked Richardson 's film version of Tom Jones. It is apropos to add that one should not criticize unless he knows his subject. It is evident that he w ho criticized Tom Jones is poorly versed in 18th century novels, especially those of the incomparable Henry Fielding. If he were, the following errors may well have been avoided: ( 1) The dining scene in the fil m was partaken by Tom Jones and Mrs. Waters, not the most honorable Sophia Western. (2) Tom Jones was not the first novel (even the first English novel) to use characterization. (3) The novel, as well as the film , was not "sometimes satiric." The author's intention was to make th e entire work a satire; in th e dedication of Tom Jones to George Lyttleton, Esq., Fielding wrote: " ... I have employed a ll the wit and humour of which I am master in the following history; wherein I have endeavoured to laugh mankind out of their favourite follies and vices. " Richardson did not tamper with this purpose; it is regrettable that 18th century satire fell on many 20th century deaf ears. · In addition to those trifling literary errors, it may well be noted that the accusation of Richards~n 's having done the novel an injustice is quite an em pty wail. Richardson did not inRANTS 'n RAVES ject "socialist rea lism" ( an obvious error for social realism - an entirely different concept) into the film ; it was there a lready. Fielding was deeply concerned about the social conditions o f his age; this can be testified to by reference to Amelia and Joseph Andrews in which he wrote qu ite deby Jack Hardie precatingly about rural and urban The common denominator of any body of college students might be that (London) life. In Tom Jones, as well a ll shou ld have learned to read in an intelligent, even critical manner before as in the other two novels mentioned , th e time of the coming of the distribution of graduation certificates. This Fielding graphicall y described the " abil ity" (if not a necessity) is not necessa rily one " taught" in th e classroom , realistic scenes which Richard son used but one attained th rough a certain self-imposed rigor. Th ere are, to be sure, for the film - there was no fabricamany means by which the student might practice this ability and gauge his tion. Tom Jones, in novel form , covers progress; at Wilkes, for example, the student might read the Beacon. Last week's issue offered the student body a number of paragraphs of eighteen books (or 885 pages, as you critical material in discussion of the recent motion picture, Tom Jones. The will), and twenty-odd years of Tom 's discerning reader may recall some littl e of wha t was written: Tom Jones, a life. The film covered all of this in a film which wavers uncertainly between lusty sensuality and socialistic realism few hours by the use of "action and finally settles down to a highly forced a nd artificial humor." "The film- freezes" and narration. These cineing of the foxhu nt and , later , of the scenes of London 's slums, epitomizes matic techniques, far from being (director) Richardson 's dil emma of w hether to make a pure comedy or a " flashy" or "superfluous", telescoped comedy with social comment." "Much of the film is funny , but beyond some passage o f time into seconds. The narration , another of Fielding 's own sensuous humor the film has little to offer.

But somehow thi s man , this unlikely poet can hypnotize an audience. Who is this man? Who is John Ciardi? What does he have that can cast a magical spell over a room full of people? Who is this man who tells them that th ey are ignorant dead hea ds and gets away w ith it? John Ciardi is the poetry editor of the Saturday Review, a leading poet in his own right, a prize winning translator of the classics, a professor of English, and a televi sion p ersona lity. John Ciardi is a big man , barrelchested, big nosed with a somewhat deform ed left leg. John Ciardi is a schola r, a man of letters. John Ciardi uses th e language well, but he doesn 't flaunt it. An intell ectual but he has no Ph.D. to wear on his sleeve as a status sy mbol. John Ciardi is a thinker. The poet said you can't teach poetry with a categorical mind. You can't put a poem in a neat little cubbyhole . You ca n't say, in two lines explain the meaning of this poem. All an exam question such as that accomplishes is to show the ego of the instructor. What he really wants to say is "rewrite the poem the way the poet should have written it if he had been as smart as the teacher". No , that is not how to treat poetry! Poetry is rhythm and motion, feeling and emotion. Poetry shouldn 't send words to your mind; it should send pictures. Emily Dickinson in some pri vate place saying, "I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us - don't tell They'd banish us, you know." should conjure up a picture in your mind. A picture of peaceful solitude possibly. But it doesn 't matter what image because poetry is personal. Why, asks Ciardi, does our educational system take third graders, children who are a great audience for poetry, and tum them into YOU. Ciardi says that, if there had been a Communist plot to make children hate poetry, they could not have done a better job than our schools have. We are taught to look at every word as a symbol, every line as a trap for the unwary reader. This is not poetry. Poetry is the whole. Poetry is relevent, to the child, to the individual. Most people graduate from high school believing that all there is to poetry is "Sonnets from the Portuguese" and "Evangeline." Poetry as an art form is something to be encoura ged. Burns' line "My love is like a red , red rose" can't be said any better. As a form of expression poetry can't be surpassed. As a stimulus to th e feelings and emotions, it is unmatched. A change in th e elementary school primers is long over-due. How long can we keep the attention of even a first grader with "Run Dick Run, Look Jan e Look" . I would rather follow Ciardi 's suggesion of taking (Continued on Page 3) �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, May 15 , 1964 Page 3 MANSILLA DEFENDS FRANCO Tobias' "Brain Child" Due Today AS PROTECTOR OF MORAL CODE by Helen Dugan $1,223 Pledged To Senior Alumni Fund Following the precedent set by the Class of '63, the Senior Class will establish an a lu mni fund wh ich will be distributed eventually by the decision of the perman en t class officers and th e tru stees of the class.

The reader has no doubt disce rned th e writer's desire to resolve a contended movie-book dich otomy . Support of the Dichotomy Th e va lidity o f the being of this dichotomy, however, is supported in the following manner: " the greatest fault of the film as a whole is Richardson's failure to conceive of a purely v isua l film . Films are first and for emost visua l, and reli ance on anything other than v isual images, dialogu e or na rration for exa mple , detracts from e ff ec tiveness o f the medium. Tom Jones is grossly overnarra ted and is studded with ve rbal asides to th e audience." ''Richardson' s inability to translate Fielding 's tone into visual im ages for ces him to overuse narration and negate the cinematic form ." The stand taken here is unpardonable. Fielding, himself, abounds with narration , with " asides " in an explicit reader-wri ter dialogue; this is Field in g's tone and his style. Richardson has ed ited the novel' s material , certainly, but not tone , not style. Asks Polonius, "What do you read, my lord?" Answe rs Hamlet, "Words, words , words." Literature is verbal and visual in that order. Cinema is v isual and ve rbal in contrasting order. Richardson 's Tom Jones is a uniqu e and admirable inversion of the cinematic. Richardson does not disguise or distort the written art in an a ll -toocommon , insip id, Hollywoodian manner; rather, he most effectively presents th e undiluted fl avor of a literary Fielding.

I am only going to comment on the paragraph conce rning Franco. How can a parallel between Jorge and Franco be suggested when one knows utterly nothing about the latter 's life? To imply that Franco may have banned the movie because he is a fraid of facin g his own portrait shows a lack · of knowledge concerning his personality. If th ere is something that can be confirmed about Franco, it is his sheer coura ge. Besides, even shallow know ledge of the man would immediately revea l how remote his personality is from that of Jorge. With regard to th e Church, I am a fra id that Miss Lord ha s completely mi ssed the point. First o f all, Franco, once again , is not concerned with a ny mi sconceptions which "Viridiana 's ca rd game sce ne" may develop. In banning the mov ie, Franco does nothing but w ha t a traditional Spaniard, faithful to his religiou s principles (w hi ch I hope nobody doubts}, would do . Traditiona l Spain still lives according to a severe moral code, and whether right or wrong it is Fra nco's privilege, as head of th e government, to protec t such a code.

Harris Tobias, serving as editor-in-c hi ef for the second year, said , " W e will publish anything that is of good quality and is creative: recipes, music, any thing." By "anything " Harris means any ty pe of creative work. H e doesn't mean to imply that just any work the club can get its hands on will be printed. H e admits, " I would rather print a good pamphlet than a Manuscript of low credit." Before any article is printed in the MANUSCRIPT it is read aloud before the members of the club. The article is then examined carefully through a general discussion and torn apart. Any article which can survive this ordeal is definitely of superior quality. These work shops, where th e tearing a part and putting togeth er of articles take place, are held eve ry Tu esday during regular club meetings.

For the past thirteen years the BEACON hai. given honors to an "Athlete of the Year" and is continuing that tradition this year. Balloting proved to be indecisive as the members of the BEACON sports staff were unable to choose between two outstanding Colonel athletes. The staff was led to choose both Brooke Yeager and Dick Morgan as this year's "Athletes of the Year." Yeager and Morgan have partici• pated in a total of eight seasons for the Colonels and their play has been consistent and dependable. Yeager is a skill ed wrestler, while Morgan is a mainstay on the soccer and basketball teams. Brooke Yeage r has been honored on numerous past occasions for his wrestling prowess. H e has been "Athlete of the Week," MAC Outstanding W res tier in the 123 pound class, and recentl y placed second in the Wilkes Open in w hich national talent was reoresented. During th e sp ring , Y eager received the Beacon " Seasonal Athl ete·· honors a nd gained th e laurels as " Outstand inq Athlete" in Wilkes College by a vote of th e entire coaching staff. The majority of these honors are based upon a vote of the entire coaching staff w hich consid ers the athlete 's sc hol arsh ip and lea dership, as well as his athl eti c prowess. On th e mats Yeager has hair-trigqned action a nd is intent on winning. These are two qualities he combines to gain an ea rly pin or a wide margined decision. In some matches Y eager wrestled in a heavier weight class than his own and usually won the match , demonstrating that his adversary' s greater weight cannot match his sk ill. It can be said that Brooke Yeager has been a standout for the Colonels during hi s entire grappling caree r. Dick Morgan graces th e socce r fi eld and basketball court with athleti c enthu siasm. Morgan is a well condi ti oned athle te a nd displays a high degree o f maneuverability w ith his fee t on the soccer fi eld . His fine work w ith th e booters earned him the position of co-captain. Morqan has lent th e soccer team his skills for the past three seasons. H e has let tered in that sport and was presented three Stagg awards. H e is one of the fin est soccer pla ye rs the Colonels have witnessed; it is notabl e that he had never played soccer before entering Wilkes. Zampetti Hits The Dirt On the basketball court Morgan proved invaluable. As a playmaker and sparkplug of the tea m he managed to keep life in the Colonels when all seemed lost. His record this past season demonstrates his spirited drive a nd defensive skill. Morgan produced two records thi s season: most points scored in a single game and most field goals in one game. He a lso shared the seasons high point honors with Dale Nicholson . The basketball and soccer tea ms w ill have a great handicap to overcome nex t season in the loss of Dick Morgan . Brooke Yeager and Dick Mors:ian now join such athletes as George Mc M a hon , first "Athlete of the Year" reci pi ent; Marv Antinnes, the only athlete to capture the award two years in a row ; and more recent recipients as Jim Brunza and Bob Herman.

Inevitably farewells bring expressions of thanks and this farewell will be no different. As might be suspected, the past 28 issues of the BEACON are the results of the efforts of many, many people on and off campus. We have tried to thank personally all those who helped us this year, but in the event that we have slipped up anywhere, we thank them again now. We appreciate not only the aid that we have gotten from so many areas - Chase, PRO, AMNICOLA, to name just a few - but also the attitude with which all our requests were met. This positive reception encouraged us to try many experiments that a less enthusiastic one might have squelched. In the realm of cooperative attitudes, our printer, Llewellyn & McKane, has been foremost. "Denny," especially, has put up with our occasional lapses of efficiency ( during mid-terms, etc.) and worked with us "creatively" to put out our weekly issue. To show our gratitude we may even replace his quickly decreasing supply of aspirin. Finally, dropping the editorial "we", I must personally thank my staff without whom the BEACON ship would have sunk and its captain with it. I am grateful to " my people" not only for the vast amount of physical labor they expended during the entire school year, often neglecting academic studies for our BEACON, but perhaps more for their " esprit de corps," for the spirit with which they have made any task I set for them not only plausible but pleasurable. The experiences I have shared with them this year have been among my happiest moments, which I know will prove invaluable to me in the coming years. B.A.L. THE LAST WORD With our pen still dripping with the ink of our first fledgling editorial, we find sorrowfully that it is already time to deliver our parting speech. Being forced into the realization of the end of a year, of a reign, of a way of life inevitably leads one to a self-analysis, a review of the passing era. We launched this year's BEACON with a definite goal that of establishing our paper as a clearing house for student news and opinion; of making it an effective media of communication from which an individual student could speak to all 1300 of his fellow students at once. The experiences of this past year have taught us many lessons, one of the most important being that the goals so easily formulated in our relaxed, bermudaed summer sessions were not as e~sily attained in week to week reality. We have succeeded in introducing more student opinion and controversy into the paper through the Rants 'n Raves, Viewpoint '64, Ballot Box, and Letters to the Editor columns. We got so many letters this week we couldn't print them all. One of the main goals of any publication is to be read. Judging by the number and intensity of the comments and answers to these columns and letters, we feel safe in concluding that the BEACON is read and with some interest by the student body. In the area of news coverage, we have attempted to present a cross section of news to represent the interests of the average student. Of course, working on the basis of a four-page weekly issue ( with intermittent six pages), some news just didn't fit. In deciding which to use and which to delete we worked on the basic premise that the average student is and should be interested in international, national, and state affairs, as well as campus issues. Thus, if, for example, we had to choose between an interview with Genevieve Blatt and the Friday night dance, we chose Miss Blatt. Some would maintain that the Friday night dance is more important. We must disagree. We still insist, as we have insisted all year, that a college newspaper which deteriorates into a mere bulletin board or publicity sheet is not only a waste of money but ineffective, since nobody would read it. Posters and Flyers are much cheaper and just as effective. Of course, some stories were inadvertently left out through one of the myriad of technical things that can go wrong in a weekly publication. One last point - our decisions in cutting articles were always made on the objective basis of appeal to the greatest number of people. Despite suggestions to the contrary, our decisions were never influenced by personal feelings toward any of the departments on campus, but by our basic philosophy of the functions of our paper.

This was not merely another series of committee meetings. This was not merely another convention whic h would leave with bright hopes and promises for the future, but with nothing accomplished. These men and women met with the serious intent of aiding those individuals whose personal life, family , and occupations were disrupted or destroyed by their inability to control the drinking of alcoholic beverages. These are the facts. Alcoholism, the inability to control the drinking of alcoholic beverages, is a disease. And like any disease, it needs immediate medical attention and whatever additional assistance is necessary. The alcoholic must know and accept this fact. He must also know where to go for help .

According to the Univer·s ity of Minnesota's critical service. established for the sole purpose of ripping College newspapers apart, one must present snappy headlines to the reader, headlines full of zip and im, aginatfon. This is a helpful and nottoo -difficult to-fulfill idea when one has zippy, imaginative articles. But then there are the assembly write-ups. Try making a snappy headline for the chorus singing at the Christmas assembly and it would come out something like this. "Snappy, Zippy Vocal Chords Intertwine . at . Wing-Din!! Gathering of Happy Homo Sapiens." In truth, the critical service would probably inform the BEACON that their headlines are too zippy and bey ond the stretch of imagination why not say -something like, "Chorus Entertains at Christmas Assembly?" To zip or not to zip is, in many cases, the question. SPECIAL ISSUE Phone again rings. Reporter again answers. Man on line screams, "Tell Pop Clu to come down here at once!" Man hangs up. Reporter dashes over to Chase Hall to tell Pop Clu to go down - Reporter has no idea where to tell Pop Clu to go .

It will be held on October 10. This year's committee plans to improve upon its previous schedule of events. Prior to last fall, Parents' Day was held in the spring, and it consisted of a band concert and general tours of the campus. The administration felt that this program did not give parents a realistic view of college life. In order to increase the program's value, the date was changed to the fall when more events are taking place. This past fall a more informal and interesting day was planned. The campus organizations provided exhibits to facilitate the parents seeing the various works which occupy students ' time. The parents were guests at by Marshall Evans the soccer and football games and The Collegians and the band con- later on tours of campus by their sons cluded their program schedules for the and daughters.

Those elected for the 1964-65 year were Ephraim Frankel. president; David Levy, vicepresident, Leona Sokash, secretary; Rosemary Rush, treasurer. The debaters had an active year with both varsity and novice teams competing in various tournaments. The subject for this year's debate was that of the federal government guaranteeing an ·opportunity for higher educa tion to all qualified high school graduates. Varsity tournaments began in earll November with initial invitations frbm La Salle Universi ty and Villanova University. At La Salle the College debaters , represented by Doug Kistler and Dave Levy for the affirmative and James Tredinnick and Rosemary Rush for the negative, recorded four wins out of ten rounds of debate. Results from Villanova were six wins out of ten rounds. The latter tournament was a "switch" debate where the two teams had to be prepared to debate both sides. Meanwhile , the novice teams, composed of Al Airola and Paul Macko for the affirma tive and Mark Hamdi and Larry Di Gregorio for the negative, scored well at Temple University's Seventeenth Annual Novice D ebate Tournament. The team accumulated a record of seven wins out of eight rounds of debate. Including their wins at Lehigh University during the previous Workshop-Tournament in September, the novice team compiled an entire record of eleven w ins out of tw elve rounds of debate. The final varsity tournament was the Liberty Bell Tournament sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania. Wilkes was represented by Al Airola and James Tredinnick who fin ished with three victories from six rounds of debate. The list of schools defeated by Wilkes at these various tournaments is impressive. Some of the more notable schools are: Un ivers ity of Pittsburgh , C. W. Post, Middleburg, King 's, Temple University, University of Pennsylvania, Villanova, Old Dominion, Virginia, Trenton State College, Army , and Georgetown University. CINDERELLA Dr. Cees Frijters and Charlotte Lord In spite of the usual difficulties, Miss Mansilla insists that she is very sorry to leave the College. ··rt really has been a wonderful experience and I have , from beginning to end, been very happy here, " she emphatically states. Miss Mansilla would like to return to the United States sometime in th e future to take more courses in linguistics, to transfer her degrees to this country, or possibly to teach. Roberts to Scotland Gordon Roberts of the English D epartment will study at Edinburgh Universi ty in Scotland this summer, but will return to Wilkes in the fall. Presently working on his Masters degree at Wesleyan University , Mr. Roberts will study and do more graduate work in Engl ish while in Scotland. Among his other studies will be British history and philosophy. Graduating from Wilkes in 1960, Mr. Roberts carried a double major of English and philosophy and religion. Another member of the English Department, Miss Charlotte Lord, will leave the College next year to do advanced graduate study in English and Italian at the University of Pennsylvania.

Merle Bolen �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 6 Friday, May 22, 1964 COLONEL TENNIS TEAM COMPILES GOOD RECORD Wilkes Tennis Team Netmen At Close Of Successful Year; Face SU Tomorrow by Don DeFranco The tennis team wraps up the current season tomorrow, facing Scranton in a match scheduled for 2 at the Wil!tes Athletic Field. At present, the squad bears a record of 5 wins and 3 lqsses. Tlie netmen started off the season with a bang as they edged Susquehanna, 5-4, for their initial win of the year. Despite some rusty spots, the Colonels showed good teamwork in gaining the win. Playing their first home stand of the year, the Wilkes racketmen suffered their first defeat, bowing to Lycoming College, 6-3. Fred Smithson and Bill Douglas collected the only wins in singles competition, while Smithson later teamed up with Owen Frances to turn in the lone doubles victory. The following week, Wilkes entertained Susquehanna in a return match of a tilt held earlier in the year. For the second time, the Colonels emerged victorious, this time by a 6-3 margin. Instrumental in gaining the win were Bil Douglas, Gary Einhorn, and Dave Closterman who turned in twin victories for the day. Wednesday, April 22, saw Coach MacFarland"s squad turn in its most commanding victory of the season, a 9-0 drubbing of Scranton University. Wilkes swept the 6 singles contests, then proceeded to capture every doubles match. Lebanon Valley provided the 4th win in 5 starts as the Wilkesmen romped over the Flying Dutchmen, 8-1. Don Austin starred for the Colonels as he registered his second shutout in a row, while Bill Douglas continued his torrid pace, extending his win skein to 18 over the past 2 seasons. Monday, May 14, will be remembered as "'Black Monday" by the Wilkes netmen as they suffered a staggering 9-0 defeat at the hands of Moravian College. The most heartbreaking event of the afternoon occurred at the number 3 position when Douglas suffered his first defeat. Tennis Squad Loses To Moravian by 8-1 Margin by Don DeFranco Absorbing its third defeat of the season, the Wilkes College tennis team bowed to the powerful Moravian netmen last Saturday by a score of 8-1. The Greyhounds once again displayed their mastery of the courts, having previously defeated the Colonels, 9-0. The score of the match is not, however, indicative of the fine play turned in by the Wilkes racketmen. The outcome of many of the matches was difficult to predict, as members of both squads battled furiously with the lead changing hands several times. . .

The following Saturday, the Colonels returned to the winning path, as they halted Ursinus College by a score of 7-2. After dropping the first singles match, Wilkes bounced back to sweep the next 5 and iced the contest. In a repeat performance of a match held two weeks ago, the tennis team bowed last Saturday to the overpowering Moravian netmen, 8-1. The only win was turned in by Fred Smithson as he defeated Nick Hunt, 6-2, 6-2 in a singles match. CIRCLE K GOES SPORTY Circle K will complete a busy year of projects on June I when they will conduct a bake sale at the Pennsylvania Gas & Water Co. Money gained from the sale will be used to send delegates to the International Convention to be held in Chicago during the first week of September. Circle K is also in the process of conducting a drive on campus to gain funds to support the U .S. Olympic Team. Containers at the Bookstore, Snackbar, and the Commons are available for donations. Nine members of Circle K also painted several cabins at the YMCA Camp Kresge last Sunday. LOU ZAMPETTI, ACE INFIELDER, NAMED "ATHLETE OF THE WEEK" The Colonels wrap up the season tomorrow afternoon, facing Scranton in a match set for 2 p.m. at the Athletic Field. Results of Wednesday's contest with Muhlenberg were unavailable at the time of publication. Lou Zampetti is awarded this issue·s "Athlete of the Week" honors. Zampetti holds down the hotspot of the infield, 3rd base, and is team cocaptain, sharing honors with Matt Himlin. With . four seasons of intercollegiate baseball under his belt, he has given the Colonels tremendous aid this current season. Schmidt Plans For Grid Campaign; Equipment Issued Bec.i~se of Rollie Schmidt's duties as baseball coach, it was not possible to hold a spring football drill. Coach Schmidt, however, made an announcement that shoes and footballs have been issued for the summer, and that any student seriously interested in playing football in the fall should get in touch with him for equipment. Standing 6-feet tall and weighing a solid 185 pounds, Zampetti is typical of a big leaguer. At the plate he smashes powerful line drives into the outfield and can produce a needed hit when the team is in scoring position.

Schmidt remarked that these new changes will not be so much in the type of football to be played, but rather in the utilization of personnel. Schmidt said he would be using a Wing-T formation with variations. He hopes to put more agility into the squad, and will be trying out his guards at defensive end. In addition to the switch in playing positions, Schmidt commented that he will try to put more plays into every game by cutting down huddle time and using a quick snap offensive attack. New Talent Expected Schmidt mentioned that he will be counting on some freshman talent and cited the following examples. He is expecting an all-county tackle from Metuchen, New Jersey, to bolster the Wilkes Ii'ne. Roger Beatty, an Allstate nominee from Exeter and West Side Conference All-scholastic, is expected to be a welcome addition to the Colonel backfield. ""An All-state nomination from the West Side Conference is an unusual honor," Schmidt remarked. Schmidt also mentioned that three area boys may find a berth on next year's squad. These three are Brinley Varchol of Hanover, Dick Cronin of Kingston Catholic, and Ron Grohowski,s brother, Jerry. Varchol was captain of the Hawkeyes and plays in the backfield.

Russin resign ed as vice-president. In his statement of resignation, he cited academic reasons for his withdrawal from the organization. At Russin's request , the members subsequently elected Don Ungema h to fill the vacated position. This move was necessary because, according to President Cathy DeAngelis, a vice-presiden t w ill be v ital in the weeks of work ahead. After an exhausting week of listening to speeches in stuffy rooms in connection with the orientation program, the frosh had an opportunity to get some fresh air and healthful exercise by participating in the Freshman Class Project. The purpose of this project is to unify the class members in a common effort while performing a service to the community.

Polls of the student body were conducted during the Spring to gain suggestions for improvements in the social life of the College. In order to encourage larger dances with name bands from outside the area, the number of Friday night dances has been reduced by one-half. Usually two groups will share a dance, thus providing more manpower and larger resources from which to draw. On weekends with no dance, Manuscript will provide films. A new large screen was purchased by the administration to enable films to be shown in the gym. Manuscript will not limit its selection to foreign films.

Jrs• Sponsor Hop After the first hectic week of campus activities and classes, the Class of '66 is sponsoring a rock 'n ' roll dance in the gym to provide an outlet for the pent-up emotions and suppressed desires of over-enthusiastic underclassmen. Joe Chanecka, president of the Class of '66, has announced that the Rhythm Aces and their feature vocalist Mel Wynn will be on hand to provide the musical backbeat for the evening. Tickets for the dance will be on sale at the door for the nominal price of 75 cents. Activity will begin at the gym at 9 p.m. and continue till 12 p .m. Dave Greenwald is General Chairman of the dance. Assisting Dave in his duties are the following committee chairmen: Dennis Kuigley, refreshments; Irene Dominguez, publicity; and Carol Saidman, tickets. As part of this project, four hundred flailing frosh descended upon Kirby Park in an attempt to clear sections of the park that had become congested with weeds, shrubs, and fallen trees. This statement immediately strikes terror into the heart of every upperclassman, we know. But do not fear! These lowly frosh were not permitted in any way to deface this park, this jewel of nature nestled next to our scenic Susquehanna . They were capably organized into work details and carefully watched by their superiors, so as to prevent any harm from befalling the picturesque landscape. GROUP COMPLETES PUNS ; PARENTS' DAY SCHEDULED The Parents' Day Committee has completed its pi.ins for the annual Parents' Day, which will be held on Saturday, October 10th. They have added a number of new activities in addition to the usual events. Along with registration, which will be held in the gym, the Art Club will provide an art exhibit. From the gym, the parents will be conducted on tours of the campus by members of the Lettermen's Club. They will also be guests at the soccer and football games. A tug-of-war between the freshmen and upperclassmen will be held during half-time at the football game. Another new event will be the awarding of a trophy for the dorm with the most unusual welcoming sign. The highlight of the day will be a concert given by Theodore Bike). an internationally known folksinger and guitarist. General admission tickets can be obtained from Student Government representatives and Class Executive Council members. Reserved seats can be purchased at the Bookstore only. Now Here's Your Dink Seeing the lowly frosh cutting shrubs, carrying logs, and raking leaves into piles for the homecoming bonfire would have brought a sadistic smile to the face of any upperclassman. Sad to say, but the otherwise pleasant afternoon was marred by one incident. A trio of brazen frosh made a feeble attempt to kidnap three upper(Continued on Page 4) Van Dyck In by Helen Dugan The United States once again retained the America's Cup when on Monday, the Constellation defeated Britain's Sovereign for the fourth consecutive time since September 15. Nilkes College was represented in ·his important global event by Steve Van Dyck. Van Dyck, a junior economics major, while in school, is a member of the crew of the 12-meter sloop, Constellation. On the 'Connie', Steve holds down the all-important job of spinnaker trimmer, a responsibility that places him in virtual command of the boat during crucial maneuvers. Many people, especially those at the College, are hearing about the America's Cup races for the first time. Actually they started 113 years ago when the British Royal Yacht Squadron offered a 100 guinea cup to the winner of a 53 mile race around the Isle of Wight. This cup was won by the visiting schooner America. In 1857, the syndicate which had built the America gave the cup ( thereafter known as the America's Cup) to the New York Yacht Club as a perpetual challenge to be raced for by yachts of foreign countries. Between 1870 and 1937, U. S. yachts successfully defended the trophy against 17 challengers. These races have since been called "The World Series of Sailing." The race has changed a great deal since then. For example, in 1939 when the U . S.'s entry, Ranger, defeated the British Endeavor, both vessels were 135 foot " J" class sloops with a crew of 35, which included the wives of the captains. Now the boats are 69 feet with a crew of twelve highly trained , determined men. 01 Winning 'Connie' not race till '64. The last British challenger was in 1958 when the Sceptre went down 4-0 to U . S .'s Columbia. Britons sourly nicknamed their boat the Spectre and didn 't challenge again till '63. During the latter part of August '64, eliminations began in order to pick one contender on each side for the best of seven races. The U . S. had four vessels: Columbia-the 1958 Cup defender; Nefertiti - an unsuccessful '62 candidate; The American Eaglethe favored ship; and the Constellation. Within four days, the former two were eliminated leaving the two ships which were newly built for this occasion . Constellation had lost four of its first six races in the p~eliminary trials and was 4-2 in the observation trials, while the American E~gle remained unbeaten. The Constellation then made the most decisive move she could make. The "Connie 's" helmsman Eric Ridder decided to share the command with Bob Bavier and the crew began to click in perfect rhythm. Both vessels then entered into the New Steve Van Dyck York Yacht Club cruise races. These races didn't count towards anything 'Constellation' Chosen except, perhaps, the biggest thing In 1963, Britain's Royal Thames morale. The Constellation was vicYacht Club challenged the U.

Such is the case with regard to this year's hazing program. The freshman class, 535 strong, is full of enthusiasm because college is, for them, an entirely new experience and they are determined to make their experience as enjoyable as possible. Hazing plays a vital role in determining whether this enthusiasm is to continue, or whether it is to diminish to the point of extinction. Through the hazing program, the freshmen as individuals are molded . into the class unit through the necessity of joining forces against their common adversary, the upper classmen. If the upper classmen do not follow through with the hazing of the freshmen, they leave the frosh without a common adversary and hence little reason for forming class unity. But this apathy on the part of the upper classmen can have more farreaching repercussions than meet the eye. When the current frosh enter the ranks of upper classmen next year, they will be without memories of their hazing program, and consequently, might be reluctant to take part as upperclassmen in the current hazing program. Therefore through upperclass participation and freshmen cooperation, the tradition of hazing will not only be preserved, but also it will increase in importance as far as all involved are concerned. SEMESTER IS A-COMIN' IN Realizing that lengthy welcomes, besides appearing formal, look as phony as Holden Caulfield's sights, the BEACON would like to extend a newsy welcome to all incoming freshmen and a welcome hack to all upperclassmen. And, without preamble, thie ftWS)'aper likewise invites all to its dusty chamber in Pickering to aid in filling its pages with lusty prose and prosaic ramblings. Again, the BEACON is open to comments, opinions, letters, et al, the only qualification being that the author sign his name. However, we will withhold your name upon request. Such columns as Viewpoint '64 and The Ballot Box are designed to handle any topic of collegiate interest from politics to education in Russia. Rants 'n Raves is another column devoted strictly to airing complaints of students, faculty, and, at times, angry editors. So, love, let us he true to one another. We will print if you will write. Workshops are held every Tuesday night in the BEACON office. At this time, the BEACON is laid out, headlined, and, with a hope and a prayer, sent to Llewellyn & McKane print shop. These workshops are open to students interested in learning how a newspaper is put together. And now, we dedicate this issue: for you, our readers. Goodnight, Chet. Goodnight, David. WHAT • • WHERE WHEN Friday, September 25, 1964 THE BALLOT BOX A Platform 1.s To Stand On by Sam Baccanari and John Lore "Order, order, will the convention please come to order." So shouts the-~ hairman, while fervently pounding his gavel, as he tries to make himself heard over the deafening roar of his party's delegates. In this somewhat chaotic and circus-like atmosphere, a ritual occurring every four years under the direction of our two major political parties, we find that these delegates, as stated in their countless number of speeches, are gathered together in order "to nom, inate the next President of the United States." But choosing a candidate for the Presidency isn't their sole task. They perform other important non-nominating functions, and onz of ,t hese is that of writing a platform. Evolving from occasional efforts made by the parties to address the people, platform-writing has become a routine function of the convention. In this voluminous document we find in detail the program, stating positions on various govermµental issues, upon which the party will c:mduct its campaign. Not to be understood as ends in themselves, pl11tforms are electioneering documents upon which the party hopes to achieve national office. Rather than being blueprints for specific action, platforms tend to be ambiguous and tend to indicate only the geMral direction in which li candidate and his party intend to go. Every platform usually contains some major issue upon which the parties disagree; this antagonism has occurred in the past over such issues as slavery, tariffs, and social labor legislation. Yet, these differences do not o,:cur over all issues or in all elections. For the most part, the platforms and campaigns of both major parties, except fo r general ideological differences, tend to run along similar lines. Because it is seeking public office, a party needs to obtain a majority of votes, and this is achieved by adopting a program which has a broad appeal to the electorate. If for some reason one of the parties adopts a radical innovation and thereby is elected to office, the opposing party will then proceed to incorporate this winning technique into its own platform. In the current Presidential campaign, for the first time since the era of - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Franklin D. Roosevelt, we find the Republicans and Democrats deeply divided over numerous major issues. As both party conventions were completely dominated by their respective Presidential candidates, Barry M. Goldwater and Lyndon B. Johnson, the platforms reflect the views and personalities of the Jack Hardie nominees. Both candidates have extremely divergent points of view. In offer- Olsen Schroeder ing "a choice-not an echo," Republican Goldwater is bucking the mainstream of American political thought.

However, with the British film industry practically sterile, an(producing few really first-rate films, " A Shot in the Dark" assu mes a more exalted position. Its fast moving direction , its reliance on well-timed sight gags, its surprise ending, and, above all, Peter Sellers' comic ability, make it an enjoyable and welcome departure from the usual dull movie fare. The action stems from a much-used characterization-a clumsy, bumbling police detective who , despite his own intense efforts to the coa trary, manages to solve a series of baffling murders. Peter Seller-s plays the fumbling, but always suave, Inspector THE BALLOT BOX {Continued from Page 2) In the area of taxes, both party platforms promise reductions. The Republicans pledge a removal of wartime federal excise taxes on certain items and also further reduction in individual and corporate tax rates. The G.O.P . standard bearer, Senator Goldwater, has said he would like to reduce taxes five percent a year for the next five years. The Democratic platform plank is much like that of the Republicans. It also promises a further reduction in taxes but makes no specific statement like that made by Senator Goldwater. The Democrats prefer to wait and study the full effects of the present tax. It is then that they will decide what action to take for further tax reductions. Civil Rights Issue Also a very important issue in this year·s race for control of the White House is the controversial and extremely sensitive Civil Rights issue. The Republican platform, in a brief plank, promises 'full implementation and faithful execution of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and all other civil rights statutes." This plank was framed deliberately mild so that Senator Goldwater, who opposed this bill in the Senate because he thought some parts of the bill, such as the public accommodations section, were unconstitutional, could run on such a plank. The Goldwater supporters, possessing a vice-like grip on the platform committee, had little trouble obtaining the kind of civil rights plank they wanted. On the other hand , the Democratic platform pledges "full observance" and " fair , effective enforcement" of the new civil rights law. The Democrats, as did the Republicans, also went on record as opposing discrimination of any kind. The architect of this relatively mild Democratic plank on C ivil Rights was the same man who ran the whole Democratic Convention, President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson, one of the most astute politicians ever to occupy the White House, purposely avoided a strong civil rights plank because he didn't wish to additionally aggravate and alienate the South. Because of this maneuver and because he is a Southerner, Johnson now · has a good chance of capturing a respectable portion of Southern electoral votes. Through this move, Johnson lost none of the Negro vote, for they have no other place to turn. Backlash and Frontlash In conclusion, both parties promise to carry out the Civil Rights Law. The one unknown in conjunction with the Civil Rights issue is the so-called "white backlash." This "white backlash" allegedly consists of those people who would normally vote Democratic, but this year will vote for Goldwater because of their fear of the too-rapid rise of Negro rights and status. These people identify Goldwater with the slowing down of this movement because he vetoed the Civil Rights Bill. Conversely, Democrats claim that this "white backlash" is exaggerated and will be more than offset by the "Republican frontlash." This "Republican frontlash" is composed of those people who would normally vote for the Republican Presidential candidate, but this year will vote for Johnson because of the conservative views of the Republican hopeful Goldwater. As the campaign progresses during the coming weeks and the issues are more fully developed, we will find that the public will be presented with a distinct choice on November third. The election will serve as a type of public opinion poll to determine whether America wants to remain in the mainstream of the social, political and economic thought which has developed in the past thirty-five years or whether, growing weary of this course, it wants to change direction and revert to the simple life of our ancestors. Cluseau with masterful ffourishes. His initial act after arriving at the scene of the first murder is to fall debonairly into a fountain. Undaunted, Cluseau falls from couches, tears his pants to shreds, gets himself arrested twice, and drives nude through the streets of Paris with Elke Sommer, also nude, beside him. Through all his gallant misadventures Cluseau acts as if he were in complete control of the situation. It is from Peter Sellers· ability to combine suaveness with clumsiness that "A Shot in the Dark" derives most of its humour. And in the final confrontation scene, with all the suspects assembled, Sellers stalks his prey, all the while tripping, falling, and generally fumbling about. Two Sour Notes Organized On Campus In order to provide college students with an opportunity to acquire experience in political affairs, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania has organized a Young Republican College Council. The Council is affiliated with the College Service Committee of the Young Republican National Federation. The College Council of Pennsylvania has established campus units in thirteen Commonwealth colleges and universities, including Penn State, P.M.C., Bucknell, Temple, Wilson, Franklin and Marshall, and the University of Pittsburgh. Under the general directorship of Paul Bachman, junior business administration major, Wilkes Republicans will soon organize and apply for a charter from the College Council. Both Bachman and William Webb, junior biology major, served internships at the first Republican Young Republican Leadership Training School held this past summer at Penn State. The objectives of the Council according to the Constitution are to contribute to the growth and influence of the Republican Party among students in universities and colleges in Pennsylvania ; and to promote good government; to provide Republicans of Pennsylvania's local Young Republican units, the Young Republicans of Pennsylvania and the Young Republican National Federation; to train young people in practical political activity in campaigning on behalf of the Republican Party; to encourage college students to continue participation in the activities of the Young Republicans and the Republican Party - local, state, and national - after graduation from college. Most of the gags are genuinely fun ny and beautifully executed . Only two strike a sour note. The recurring gag of Sellers· Japanese judo student practicing surprise attacks is never really funny, and finally becomes offensive when he attacks while Sellers is about to consumate, in his usual inept way, a torrid affair. The other sour note is the well publicized foray into a nudist colony. Sellers is forc ed to strip in order to follow his suspect and is left _with only a guitar with which to maintain his dignity. None of the rest of this sequence really utilizes or relies on the nudist colony for its humour.

When questioned recently about what Student Government has accomplished so far, Miss DeAngelis proudly stated, "The plans for the Theodore Bike) Concert, Parents' Day, and Homecoming are already well under way." In addition to preparing for these immediately forthcoming events , Student Government has also cut the number of Friday night dances in half in orqfr to employ better bands and to lessen the danger of financial loss, increased the number of MANUSCRIPT lllms with an activity following each film , and helped to arrange "Wilkes Review" , a five-minute radio program on WBAX that can be heard on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:55 until 6 p.m. Although Student Government has held only two meetings so far , every major committee has already been selected. Asked to explain what she felt were her qualifications for her office, Miss DeAngelis replied that she felt her past three y ears at the College have certainly prepared her for the year ahead. She has held every Student Government office except that of treasurer. Having been chairman of almost every committee, she feels that she can better understand the various problems of each committee. For this reason she will assume ultimate responsibility for every major committee, but will appoint a committee chairman who will be directly responsible to her. CRASEns In regards to the permits which those students wishing to park in the College lots must acquire, Arthur J. Hoover, assistant dean , stresses that these permits do not guarantee the driver a parking place. Mr. Hoover also reminds each person who avails himself of the facilities to be considerate of the rights of others and to extend courtesy to his fellow drivers. Mr. Hoover feels that responsible college ·students should accept these rights and obligations and agree to follow them to the letter. If they cannot, they should consider using the $6 parking fee for off-campus parking or bus fare . Although Miss DeAngelis has given up many of her other extra-curricular activities, she still retains a few which will allow her very little leisure time. As head of the nurses on campus, she mu st accept responsibility for the new Medical Room . Through a grant from the National Science Foundation she is presently doing research work under Dr. Sheldon Cohen. "Among those activities I have given up are a few incidentals like sleeping, eating, etc.," she reluctantly admits. Because of these time-consuming activities and because she worked on campus all summer, she spent a great deal of time doing Student Government work during the summer months. This, she feels , gives her a definite advantage over her predecessors. Of the present College parking areas those available for student parking are the one at Parrish and the Wright Street lot. The latter area can facilitate 175-250 cars. It has been patrolled daily and will continue to be as long as the need exists. Previously for students , the Geis lot has been converted for faculty and staff parking. If any upper classmen are interested, there is a limited supply of handbooks and calendars at Chase Hall. These may be found in Chase lobby or acquired from Mr. Hoover or Joan Borowski, his secretary . lrem Temple Concert To Feature Martinon The Chicago Symphony Orchestra will present a concert at Irem T emple, Cathy DeAngelis October 4, under the direction of the French-born composer-conductor Jean The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martinon.

Modern movie-makers after an initial success are often overwhelmed by the flood of script writers, technicians, and artists, a movie demands, unable to dominate so huge an undertaking see their talent swallowed up and are never able to fulflll the promise of the early films. Bergman, Kurosawa , and the other greats of modern cinema maintained their pre-eminence by remaining in control of all the facets of movie production. Bergman is notorious for his meticulous attention to all the details of every frame of his movies. The constant unified vision that seems so hard for modern directors to maintain is the quality that makes the works of Charlie Chaplin stand in the forefront of cinematic development. Chaplin was always able to impose his vision, on all his work. He never lost sight of his central character or his central theme. At the same time Chaplin manages to avoid another pitfall of modenr cinemahe is never dull. The films of Resnais and Antonini, for example, have some dull. if artistic, moments. Chaplin's art is never dull. A consistent motif and constant motion are the hallmark of Chaplin's art. It was the early shorts which made Chaplin both rich and famous - that he sharpened his comic genius. His mind is ceaselessly inventive; there is always a new gag. And once discovered, Chaplin uses each gag to its fulfillment and no further. He is always in danger of· ~oing too far, throwing one too many pies, or tripping once too often, but 'he never does; Chaplin ex hausting a · g_a g is like a symphony. He sta tes the motif, carrying a ladder in THE PAWNSHIP. for example; then he shows it in all its variations. He knocks down the boss, from the front , from the back, from the side each time unexpectedly. When it is expected, Chaplin gingerly avoids hitting anything at all. City Lights is the earliest of Chaplin's memorable full length films. We · follow the tramp, already a carefully delineated character of Chaplin's mind, through a series of adventures, including his friendliness to the blind flower girl. The development, typically Chaplinesque, is episodal, al most picaresque; and the mood alternates between pathos and laughter. In many ways it is a kind of cinema tic Adventures of Augie March. The tramp faces life with boundless optimism and allows life to control him rather than forcing his own fate. The only redemption from the tramp life of day-to-day existence is love. The flower girl answers this need. At the end of the film the two are reunited ( the tramp has just got out of jail) and the film closes with a stunning close-up of Chaplin's illuminated face , one of the most moving and touching frames in the cinema. Modem Times is similar in many ways. The tramp is back. The development is episodic and the ending is again an affirmation of the promise life holds, the joy of life itself. To the explicit poverty and misery of city lights however, is added a brilliant satire of mechanized society. The opening of the films is a terrifying scene of an assembly line with each man like an automaton, fulfilling his function. A great screen lights up with the face of the boss ordering more speed on the line, and an antecedent of Orwell's all-seeing Big Brother is evident. The whole sequence shows man's subservience in the new machine age. In one brilliant sequence Charlie is pulled into the machine and finds himself surrounded by giant wheels and gears. Still jerking spasmodically from the assembly line, Charlie calmly tightens the two nearest screws.

Chaplin film I know in which the FRESHMEN ORIENTAT/ON character of the tramp is entirely absent. Chaplin plays a rural Frenchman who turns to the murder of wealthy women to support his family. A grim subject, but one that Chaplin handles beautifully. The victims are never too sympathetic, and Chaplin's portrayal of Verdoux is a tour de force. The order of the film spans the great crash and Hitler's rise to fame. The fllm rail5es serious questions about guilt and innocence to the moral world. Verdoux is clearly guilty but surrounded by wartime atrocities; he is unrepentent. In the final sequence, Chaplin is taken to the guillitine. His executors are dressed in black; he, in a white shirt.

Game time is at I :30 at the Lebanon High School Stadium in Lebanon. Wilkes will be trying to turn the tables on Lebanon Valley who have given the Colonels 7 seasons of frustration in a row. The last time the Colonels were able to come up with a victory in the series was in 1954 when they shut out the Dutchmen 19-0. Last season Wilkes was edged out 13-6 by the Blue and White and will be out for revenge. The going will not be easy tomorrow afternoon, however, despite the promising outlook of the Wilkes squad . Lebanon Valley will field an experienced team, in spite of the fact that their big gun, Wes MacMillan, was lost through graduation. Coach William McHenry, starting his fourth season, will have one of the most well-balanced squads in several years if some of the injured personnel return to form . McHenry will be relying heavily on returnees Terry Herr and Glen Stech, the co-captains of the team and both of whom were on the injured list last year. John Vaszily will return as quarterback for the Dutchmen, and will pose a problem for the Colonel defense. Backing up Vaszily will be Dennis Gagnon, who will also see action at the tailback slot. Halfback Rich Spallone also shows promise of developing into a fine halfback with three seasons left to play. On the line, Stech and Al Bullard will be at tackle; Bill Hohenshelt, guard; and Jim Duke, center. Hohenshelt had a fine 1963 season and was named to the ECAC first team and a spot on the MAC Southern Division Second T eam. Duke missed most of the 1963 season with a broken arm.

Michael Kanyuck As a part of their orientation program this year, the incoming fresh men were asked to read three books. Of these , Anti-Intellectualism in Amer, ica was required reading, while the frosh had their choice of two out of three other books to complete the assignment. In a series of classes, several upperclassm en led groups of fr eshmen in discussing these books. In order to find out the attitude toward this new addition to the orientation program, the Beacon conducted a survey among the freshmen . Pat Haydt - " I think the book gets us in the mood for the kind of thinking we will have to do ." Liz Slaughter - "I think no reading at all is useless, but without discussion groups you couldn't understand them fully ." Mike Pituch - "The anti-intellectualism book could have been thrown out the window. It was a waste. The Prophet and The Sea Around Us were good. " Hope Kwochka "It wasn't a waste of time; but I wouldn't have read th em on my own." Stuart Blaustein - "I don 't exactly think it was a waste of time, but if you didn 't come in during the first five minutes of the class, you wouldn't have known what they were talking about." Mark Bauman - "I thought it was overly long and drawn out. The author evidently disregarded the principles of unity. Through the discussion group h1s points of anti-intellectualism in America were well taken. It appears that the layman of today doesn't know enough about intellectuals to be anyth•ng but anti-intellectual. It's a good idea, but there should be books more prone to discussion, perhaps some more controversial issues," Ray Bonita "The best of the three books, I believe, was the one on anti-intellectualism. I agree with a lot of ideas in the book, and I liked the organization of it. Hofstadter is a very good writer. H e shows clearly that anti-intellectualism exists now as it did when the country was founded, although not in the same form. It is a worthwhile program to read the books. It gives you mental activity during the summer, and gives fr eshmen an insight into different moral values which they normally wouldn 't encounter on their own." Keith S. Russin - "The be'ginning of the book seemed to drag, but when it entered into controversial discussion, the book became very fascinating and interesting. The part on education was most interesting to me. It shows the lacks and needs of our educational system, and how the people on the whole are fooled by the poor educational system. "The orientation program is quite worthwhile. The books covered many fi elds which made the reading easier and more interesting to the individual." Matt Fliss - " It is difficult to categorize this book because it was so broad. It's certainly nothing that you would read for enjoyment but rather for information. It hasn't yet had any practical applications for me. "This type of orientation is generally good because it tends to make you more inform ed , which is fine with me. Any book is broadening, and consequently four books are even more broadening. " The Beacon then proceeded to interview two of the discussion leaders on their opinions of the book on antiintellectualism and the reading program as a whole. Ephraim Frankel - "This orientation program is far superior to any other. Reading these books will open the minds of the freshmen to areas hitherto unexplored by them. "This informative and searching book dealing with anti-intellectualism brings to the surface unpleasant aspects of American cultural, religious, educational, and political doctrines. It will point out to the freshmen that they can be more critical of the doctrines and dogmas which they accept. The book also places on the students a responsibility to be critical, objective, and well-informed, and encourages free speculation and creative novelty." Cathy DeAngelis - "Even though it is hard to read , Anti-Intellectualism in America presents contemporary them es a nd timely topics. Up to now Americans have disliked intellectuals. This book explains to students what an intellectual really is. "Since it is hard to apply a moral code to everyone, this new program allows the students to select things for their own code from the various books which they read. These books should also give them some idea as to what they should be thinking about."

They spent a great deal of time speaking to their frequent visitors, counseling them on the ways of the old wor ld, the ideas of the new world, and the prospects for the world to come. And the visitors came from all parts of the world to listen to the sound of history. But, alas, all vlsitors were not benevolent. There came one who stole into the secret chambers of the house and, catching one of the special people in slumber. proceeded to cut for himself a lock of hair. H is intention for doing this was not known, since he could not show it to anyone for fear of having his guilt carried back to the people. Thus, each night before he went to bed, he brought out the lock of hair and said, "I have clipped this from the head of a special person. It is now mine." However, he soon grew tii'ed of idolizing the lock in private, and, as time passed. completely forgot that he had it. Meanwhile, when a few of the visitors learned that someone had managed to get a part of the speclal people. they, too, grew defiant, and began to blatantly take souveni~s from the house until finally the house was closed to the public and only special visitors could go to hear the special people talk. And the world grew dumb for it did not hear the passing of eternity. And, in reality, all had lost. Recently, someone walked into our house, the LIBRARY, and, being inclined to laziness, ripped the numb~r _o~ th,~ book he desired from the card catalogue. The next Visitor grew more defiant and nonchalantly took the complete card. And, as all things lead to logical conclusions. the third persqn walked out with the book. Three visitors, a million losses - for you see, the world desired to read the book and it was not available. Another perennial problem the library staff faces is that of maintaining silence. The library is not for the purpose of holding roundtable discussions. Nor is it a ~moking or eating establishment. Mrs. Vujica, head librarian, has asked that students report changes in address and phone number, and also t~e loss of a library card. Book3 should also be checked-out with the student's own card. Because many library books are known to be "lying around" in dorms and private homes, the BEACON is asking all dorm presidents to begin a campaign to return all books, regardless of the amount of time they are overdue, to the library. We are also asking day students to do the same. For the next two weeks, Mrs. Vujica has agreed not to fine anyone for a book long overdue. There are many facilities available in the library for student use; amon~ them are a typing room and a reading room for the blind. Students may also borrow books from the ten local Ebraries through the inter-library loan plan. Let us keep our fpecial people, the novelists and their characters, in our special house. Otherwise, we may grow dumb and not hear the passing of eternity. A.P.

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 2, 1964 'DREAM' THEATRE BECOMES REALITY by A. M. Airola A dream became a reali ty, for ground w as broken and cons truction begun on the College's new theatre on August 12, 1964. For Alfred S. Groh the theatre represented the culmination of seventeen years of dreams and ambitions. A building such as this is not merely the work of one man, a college, or even an entire community. According to Mr. Groh, ""Encouragement came from all factions of the student body, faculty, alumni , and community, regardless of their particular orientation ." The new thea tre has interested Donald Oenslager, who is currently on the staff at Yale University, and is also a consultant for the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. As a consultant for th e theatre , Mr. Oenslager has given of his time and talent because, as Mr. Groh stated , ""He has developed quite an affection for this project. " Lacey, Atherton, and Davis, the architects, schedule the theatre 's opening in September of 1965. The theatre will have a capacity of 500 seats. Mr. Groh was anxious to state, "This is a college theatre, for a college audience . . . 500 seats should be more than adequate . . . A larger theatre would destroy the very nature A I um n i Augment Faculty Roster The new school year has been ushered in not only by the influx of 535 freshmen , but also by the arrival of new faculty members. Approxima tely twelve people have joined th e te3c hing staff of the College. The new instructors are: Rosemary Allmayer-Beck, Jose Ribas , and Murray Force - foreign languages; Benjamin F . Fiester, Chester N. Moll ey, Warren G . D eArment English ; Marene M. Olson - sociology; and Anthony J. Evangelista - art education. Michael J. Barone has joined force s with th e education department, and Stanley B. Kay has done likewise with the philosophy department. The music department has acquired th e services of Raymond J. Nutaitis, and the chemistry department has reac quired those of James Bohning . Several facts may be noted about the group. Three of them are returning to the College after havin\1 previou sly taught here. They are: Mssrs. Ribas, Fiester, and Bohning. Three were graduated from the College. They are: Mssrs. Fiester, Molley, and Nutaitis. Two of them have come here from European countries. Senor Ribas is originally from Spain; Fraulein Allmayer-Beck's home is in Austria. of the program developed at the college . .. A theatre of the size we are building will be more beneficial for the players as well as the student body." or as an orchestra pit with any number of intermediate heights. Traps are planned so that characters can make entrances or exits directly from the center of the stage. The theatre will have a fully equipped workshop and ample rehearsal and storage facilities , enough to allow work on several projects to go on simultaneously. An electronic lighting system, developed by Century Lighting, will provide a pre-set panel and console. The apron will be hydraulically operated so that it can function as an ex tension of the stage However, the final reality of the new th ea tre is but, in itself, the beginning of more dreams and more plans. Already plans are being prepared for an addition to provide facilities for the music and fine arts departments. Long -range plans include the establishment of a Department of Drama and the offering of a drama sequence for credit.

Meetings will be held this year at the Club House of St. Stephen"s Episcopal Church, due to the efforts of Rev . Burke Rivers , Pastor. The Forum, in its third year of existence, is a club consisting of informal speakers; its purpose is to provide students with the opportunity of discussing wide topics , or, to quote Mr. Gutin, "any topic of general intellectual interest. "" Last year 's Forum included such topics as "" Modern Jazz ," ""Airplanes," and "" E xistentialism. " Each week one student will speak on a topic of his choice. Said Mr. Gutin, and to allocate the showings from Stark 116 to the gym . Since the gym will accommodate a larger audience than Stark 116, the need for two showings no longer exists. There will be only one showing at 7 p .m., after which Student Government has pl anned activities. Earlier this week, Manuscript held its first meeting of the year. Workshops will be held weekly on Tuesday at 11 a.m. when students' literary work will be analyzed. Material is now being accepted for discussion and for publication. "This is an unusual opportunity for students to give them a knowledge of topics otherwise untouched, and it is also an opportunity for informal speaking before a friendly group." �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Editorials The Ballot Box CAUTION URGED Each of us possesses certain humanitarian instincts which often motivate us to give assistance to distressed animals. Their relative helplessness, due either to illness or accident, makes us feel compelled to render these animals any assistance possible. Surprising as it may seem, by doing so we oftentimes endanger our own health. Last week, a few students exposed themselves and the science department at the College to this particular danger. The incident began when these students carried a sick pigeon to the biology department, with the hope that the bird could be helped. Realizing the speed with which infections from birds and other animals can spread if not carefully controlled, Dr. Grace Kimball of the biology department ordered the bird destroyed for the good of all concerned. Unfortunately, this was not accomplished in time, for a few days later it was found that the infection from the pigeon had apparently spread to a number of experimental animals being used by Dr. Sheldon Cohen. This infection very possibly contributed to the unexpected death of the animals. This not only presents a health menace in the laboratory, which incidentally had to be closed, but also destroyed the efforts of six months' experimental work performed on these particular animals. Dr. Grace Kimball informed the BEACON that it is very possible for the same virus. which apparently killed the experimental animals, to cause illness of a serious nature in humans. Diseases such as psittacosis, histoplasmosis, cryptococcus, and salmonella, just to mention a few, can be transmitted from infected birds to human beings in a number of ways, aside from direct contact with the infected animal. These germs can be contracted through inhalation and, in many cases, even through exposure to the droppings of the infected animal. The widespread nature of this danger necess 'tates that we be extremely cautious whenever exposed to these conditions. Students are urged to avoid contact with any sick or injured animal and also to refrain from taking any such animal to the biology department. This is asked not only because of the apparent danger, but also becam:e of the lack of facilities and knowledge on the part of the department for treating such cases. Humanitarian instincts are fine, but don't try to be the hero and endanger your own health. If you see an animal in distress, call a veterinarian or the S.P .C.A. You thereby deal with those who have the training and know-how necessary for handling the situation. Students are urged to personally avoid any such animals completely, regardless of the nature of the animal's illness. J.J.K. ALL THE ANSWERS? The Warren Commission released its report on the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. The central finding of the report was that the vile deed was the act of Lee Harvey Oswald alone; there was no conspiracy, foreign or domestic. If this is so, then the real questions, the answers to which lie beyond the realms of our conception, all remain. Why? What possible reasons could have prompted the irrational coldblooded act? What did he have to gain? The Commission tells us that Oswald was a man "characterized by isolation, frustration, and failure;" that he is a "product of his life." and in doing so telh us nothing. Don't we all know that only a man who committed two successive murders and felt no remorse could have these characteristics? For those who are willing to believe, who seek some answer ,....., right or wrong - the Warren Report serves its purpose. F~r the rest, the case remains open. For the rest, there may be someone who can drive a desperate man to such extremes and who may do the same again. There 'a re those who loved President Kennedy; there are those whose convictions led them down the other path, but we are sure that they are all disappointed in such a weak explanation of a grievous tragedy.

JUST A HEARTBEAT AWAY by Sam Baccanari " The Vice-Presidency isn't worth a pitcher of warm spit. " In these somewhat "elegant" terms, John Nance Garner so described the office he held in the 1932 and 1936 terms of the administration of Franklin D . Roosevelt. Another Vice-President and our first one, John Adams, stated that this was the most insignificant office that man had ev er contrived or conceived. When Daniel Webster was asked to be the running-mate of Zachary Taylor in 1848, he gracefull y declined by stating that he didn't intend to be buried until he was actually dead and inside a coffin. All of these statements ex emplify the lack of respect which America ns historically have had for the Vice-Presidency, especially by those who have assumed th e position. Constitutionally , these are w ell-founded claims to have made , for the V ice-President's only designated power is to preside over the Senate. It has been mainly a ceremonial office, leaving th e incumbent, on many days , with little or nothing to do but to visit the President in order to check up on his health. I don 't know how true the statement is, but it was said that during Eisenhower 's two major illnesses Richard Nixon was constantly seen carrying a Bible while walking with hi~ right hand raised and repeating th ? words "I do solemnly swea r . . . " After political parties arose, factors other than quality were taken into consideration when it came time to choose a running-mate for the Presidential nominee. A party 's primary purpose is to win an election, and this is more ea sily achieved by picking someone who can balance the ticket and conciliate party factions . As has happened in the past, the most capable person for the job is overstepped in favor of someone who can better unify the party and solicit additional support for the ticket from the electorate. Many times these persons have been of mediocre ability , and this has served to lower the prestige of the office. Y et we must not overlook the omnipresent factor, already hinted above, which hangs like a dark cloud over this office. That is, when the public casts its votes for th e President, it is also choosing among two other men who will be the President's successor. This is not of insignificant consequence. Twice within the last twenty y ears two men have become President because the incumbent had died in office , with the most recent example being the tragic assassination of President John F . Kennedy, resulting in Lyndon Johnson's becoming the President. Because the modern Presidency has become so complex, our nation can 't afford to have a man assume this office who is not capable, morally or intellectua lly , of handl ing the job. However, if recent trends continue, we shall see a steady rise in the prestige of the office , which will entice more high -caliber persons to aspire to the position, as has already occurred with such men a s John Kennedy and H enry Cabot Lodge. Our latter Presidents, Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy, have extended powers to the office. More and mo re the V ice-President is becoming a confidant of the President. H e is informed on various domestic and foreign problems, and , as was seen w ith Nixon and Johnson, the Vice-President became a roving ambassador who represented the President in various foreign capitals. The two current Vice-Presidential nominees are Republican William Miller and Democrat Hube rt Humphrey. Both were specifically hand-picked by their respective party 's Presidential nominee. Who are these men and what factors were considered in their selection? I William Miller A sharp-tongued lawyer from Lockport, New York , Miller serves to en hance the balance for his ticket by being from an eastern , urban-industrial state by Marshall Evan-s and being also of the Roman Catholic faith. He has been a Congressman, S enator Parry Goldwater com- beginning in 1950, but his record is undistinguished . In 1961, he assumed the a dditional responsibilities of Republican Chairman. This divided his loyal mented in a recent speech on nuclear ties and resulted in the neglect of his constituents. After being re-elected by policy that v aluable tim e would be a slim majority in 1962, Miller apparently concluded that his Congressional lost in locating President Lyndon career w.as coming to the end of the line. R ealizing that his chances for reJohnson in order to ga in his authority election w ere slim , he did the " gentlemanly " thing of stating in 1962 that he to use nuclear weapons should the would nqt run again after his cur rent term expires , no t wanting to put hi s situation arise.

Miller has been characterized a s a " gut fighter ," clear weapons; however, President and Goldwater 's underlying motive in choosing him was for campaign purJohnson is guilty of putting party be- poses. As has been seen already , he violently jumps into the heat of a fight fore country or of being penny-wise and , with his sharp tongue, makes cutting remarks at the personalities of his opponents. A s GOP hatchet man , it is Miller's job to make caustic remarks or pound-foolish. which aim to keep the Democrats on the defensive.

Nama ra and Secretary of State D ean The Whole Story Rusk have entered into the political Campaign Comment: L. B. J. Too Thrifty B. G. 's Claims Porous Senator Goldwater and his aids, particularly Dean Burch, have claimed that th e issue o f delegating authority to use nuclear weapons without the President's approv al to the NATO commander has been falsely attributed to them as radical. Until now the Administration has not answered this charge explaining the condition of the "agreement " ; nor have Senator Goldwater or his aides revealed the entire situation. It is clearly understood that the NATO commander may use nuclear weapons only in the event the United States should suffer a nucl ear attack; under no other conditions may he use them without authority from the President. He cannot, as Senator Goldwater suggests , initiate a nuclear exchange. Senator Goldwater's suggestion of the term "Conventional nuclear weapons" fo he under control of the NATO commander is certainly striking. Surely the mere mention of the two words together is a contradiction. Since when is a weapon which has the capabilities to exceed the destruc- discussions for one main reason . They believ e it is essential not to let false accusations concerning this nation's defense go unanswered. They also do not want any issue put into the campaign which is really not an issue. In this effort th ey are trying to prevent a recurrence of a situation which existed in the 1960 campaign. The issue of a missile-gap arose during the 1960 campaign because of Democratic charges of same. However, the Defense Department and State Department chose to let these charges go unanswered even though U -2 Bights had clearly shown the United States superior to Russia in the area under criticism. Not until the final days of the campaign, which was too late, did Secretary of Defense Thomas Gates repudiate these claims. S ecretary MacNamara and Secretary Rusk deserve much attention in their efforts to p revent non-issues or issues without proper foundation s to get into the campaign.

Burton did a fine job, of playing Burton, that is; however he never fully worked himself into an effective interpretation of the character of Hamlet. Although in various scenes his acting was excellent, Burton's overall presentation did not demonstrate his well-known superior ability. He barked and growled excessively, made jokes with his eyes and actions at awkward times, and mumbled his lines between the famous speeches, causing him to lose the action and mood of the play. His acting ability blazed brightly during the soliloquies, but between them the flame of his thespian genius burned low. Alfred Drake, in the role of Claudius, did not create the image of the hard-hearted, greedy character which Shakespeare intended. Hume Cronyn did a good job as the doddering, meddksome old-fool Polonius, although in his famous advice speech to Laertes he was guilty of overacting. Overacting Not A Real Crime But in this particular presentatior, of Hamlet, overacting was not thf" real crime. Underacting was the mon, apparent problem. There was little feeling in the play, perhaps due to the mediocrity and unobtrusive job of the rest of the cast. At the beginning of the movie, John Gielgud, the producer, explained to the audience that his purpose in pro· ducing Hamlet without props and costumes was to allow the play to be judged on the merit of its words alone. Gielgud's plan may have been well- It staples term papers and class notes, photo• graphs, news items, themes, reports. intended; however, merit of words alone cannot compete with confusion. Hamlet was garbed in an old sweater and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were clothed in snappy sports jackets, while the queen was costumed. The lack of order in the type of clothing worn by the actors created the confu sion. A simple uniformity in dress would have enabled the audience to focus their attention on the spoken word, thereby becoming completely absorbed in the dialogue which Gielgud proposed was his intention, and incidentally was very much the author's. Technical Weakness Viewing the movie from a technical standpoint, electronovision falls short of its promise. This new type of filming does not allow any more rapport between the audience and the actors than do ordinary movies. The effect of the new type of movie was no different from that of a black-and-white picture. In addition, the voices of many of the actors were inaudible and difficult to understand - a result of technical difficulties rather than faulty elocution of the actors. This reviewer feels that this production of Hamlet was not a bad example of Gielgud 's talents but rather a sad example of the way he chose to use them. The play was never allowed to attain its high dramatic potentials. There was some very good acting in parts of the play; however, these parts were scarce. Instead of having the smoothly flowing beauty that Shakespeare meant it to have , the play beca~e rather like an ebbtide , with a few occassional waves washing over the shore.

A spirited Wilkes defense led by Dale Edwards and Bill Schne'ider contained the Dutchmen. The Colonels took the ball and began to drive toward another score; however, a fumble halted the Wilkes threat.

WILKES PARENTS' WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Vol. XXIV, No. 3 CAMPAIGN COMMENT BOLE or DEATH OF APATHY CABINET . -- -·• •w by Marshall Evans The present Presidential campaign has had much attention devoted to charges and answers by the cabinet, questions on the activity and policies of individual cabinet members. Senator Barry Goldwater and Representative William Miller have evidently decided that the two Democratic candidates, Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, do not offer enough opposition. They have decided to bring other members of the cabinet into the campaign, particularly Defense Secretary Robert MacNamara and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. President Johnson has obliged his opposition by using every cabinet official to his advantage. This aspect of the campaign was in particular evidence last week when two members of the cabinet were in Wilkes-Barre at the same time, addressing two different dinners. This reporter obtained brief but exclusive interviews with both of these cabinet officers. On October 19, the Postmaster General will appear in Wilkes-Barre, and efforts will be made to obtain an exclusive interview with him also. ~ ~ Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges was in Wilkes-Barre to address the textile worker's and manufacturer's annual dinner. Mr. Hodges' central theme was to explain the condition of our economy. He also explained how commerce in the United States has expanded, unparalleled in history, during the present administration. This is his role, to present to business and labor communities, a beautiful picture of our economy. When asked to comment on William Miller's recent statement in regard to the low tariff, (Mr. Miller indicated an advocacy of a protectionistic tariff), Secretary Hodges commented, "Mr. Miller is running for office in an 1864 society. This shows the American public how uninformed he really is in this area." Secretary Hodges further stated that our commerce is at such a good point due in part to our tariff policies. Secretary Hodges responded to a question concerning international trade and the Wyoming Valley Area by stating, "While the area for trade is very limited, efforts to take advantage of this area are being made. European countries are excellent markets for the area 's coal because of the price difference. American textiles were widely admired for their quality at an exhibition in Europe which I recently attended." Stewart Udall, Secretary of the Interior, appeared at the Wilkes-Barre Democratic Dinner to deliver a political speech. Mr. Udall played a major role in the Kennedy campaign during 1960. His speech was of two main thoughts. He spoke of the many ways his department has aided this area, due to the efforts of Congressman Daniel Flood. He also used every opportunity to attack Senator Goldwater and his views. I The junior class will sponsor a hayride for class members only on Friday , October 9, at 8 p.m. A car caravan to the El Pocono Dude Ranch will leave from Parrish parking lot between 7:00 and 7:30 p .m. Plans for the evening, as stated by Hank Edwards, chairman, include a hootenanny and an unlimited food supply. Those who own guitars are urged to bring them. Tickets for the affair may be purchased for $2.99 per couple. Farley Emphasizes 'Quest of Meaning' by Vicki Tatz At last week 's assembly Dr. Eugene When asked whether he expected to play a similar major role in this election, Secretary Udall responded: "I hope to. I think it will be of similar Farley spoke on the quest for meannature. " Questioned on whether the Supreme Court should be an issue in ing.

It seems he made one mistake by taking on Johnson's tion. and confusion. cabinet, and he now seeks to gain help from " his cabinet." Richard Nixon is "Secretary of State." Perhaps Senator Goldwater will appoint Governor Rockefeller as U. N. Ambassador, Governor Scranton as Secretary of Treasury, George Romney as Secretary of Defense, Milton Eisenhower as Chief of CIA. We may also look forward, perhaps, to Governor Wallace as his Attorney General and when Chief Justice Earl Warren resigns, William Knowland may well head the Supreme Court. To top his appointments off, he might appoint Huntley and Brinkley as Presidential press secretaries. Now Senator Goldwater has decided to send General Eisenhower, Admiral Burke, Dr. Judd and others to Viet Nam to find a solution to that problem. Why , Senator? General Eisenhower remarked while in office that should fighting ever come again, he would yield to younger men who have experience in modern field strategy. Granted, Senator, that advice on foreign policy would be highly useful; however, to ask them to endure the physical strain required by a trip to Viet Nam from these men at their advance stages is RIDICULOUS! In his effort to gain votes Senator Goldwater may have started a new trend in Presidential elections, that of announcing appointments during the campaign preceding the election. In effect people would vote for the entire "team." This indeed warrants study; however, Senator Goldwater's suggestion to send distinguished elder statesmen to a country where guerilla warfare exists demands further explanation from Senator Goldwater. In the struggle against Communism, it would be more effective to strengthen our own system than to oppose Communism with military might. Our greatest assets are our ideals and our institutions, and we should develop them to their fullest capacity as an example to the world . All men, no matter how different their respective cultures may be, have common aspirations. In the midst of our own process of adjusting, we should be able to sympathize with the greater problems of the less advanced peoples. Our social conscience should motivate us to bridge the cultural gap. A respect for differences and an understanding heart can help too. It is the responsibility of students to prepare themselves for the task of reducing conflict and misunderstanding. Friday, October 9, 1964 PARENTS REIGN ON CAMPUS; HIKEL CONCERT HIGHLIGHT The Second Annual Parents' Day will be marked tomorrow, October 10. The purpose of the affair is to offer the parents an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the College, its campus, its faculty members and administration. First on the list of the activities for the day is Registration, which will be held in the cafeteria lounge from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a .m. Following Registration the parents will have time to visit places of interest on campus. In order to facilitate their tours, student guides will be available to accommodate them. All buildings will be open and faculty members will be in their offices for consultation. The Wilkes soccer team will oppose FDU-Madison at the Wilkes Athletic Field at 10 a.m. After the soccer game the parents will attend a buffet luncheon, which will be served at the College gym. Dr. Farley will be the featured speaker at the luncheon. Following the luncheon, a football game in which Wilkes opposes Upsala is the next activity on the agenCollege Rearranges da.

An entire Boor of the YMCA has been secured to house 43 male residents. In addition, six men are living on the third Boor of the Carlisle home on 224 South Franklin Street. The latter two facilities are only temporary arrangements. In the spring, the College hopes to begin construction of a new men's dormitory capable of housing 250 students. Thus, many of the male students will be accommodated in this new dorm. Some of the present men's dorms will later be occupied by women students; the older buildings will probably be razed. Concerning the growing resident population, Dean George Ralston emphasized that " the College is not interested in growth, as such, but in growing with qualified students." He also added that this growth would probably be concentrated in the area of dorm students. Last year's female resident populaTheodore Bikel tion occupied eight dorms.

EDITORIALS PLEASE We were led to believe that one of the purposes for changing the scene of the MANUSCRIPT movie from Stark 116 to the gym was to accommodate the influx of 535 freshmen who, for some unknown reason, were expected to attend the movie en masse. Needless to say, there were very few freshmen in attendance. Were the movie held on the plains of Troy, one feels it would have played to no larger an audience. · Another purpose for the change was to hold a "fun and games" night directly after the film. In the first place, there are eight more MANUSCRIPT films scheduled, and only one more activities night, thereby decreasing the weight this purpose supposedly carried. In the second place, activities night, unfortunately, was not a success. The third purpose for showing the film in the gym was to make use of the new screen, which will be set up in the new cultural center when it is completed. There were no disadvantages over the screen in Stark, either. Thus, the advantages of having the movies in the gym are sorely outweighed by the disadvantages. The gym, to be sure, is much cooler than Stark 116 could ever be - sans fans, sans air-conditioning, sans everything. As to acoustics, the gym is much too large - the sound reverberates somewhere along the walls before it actually reaches the audience. There is likewise little merit to the seating arrangement in the gym. One has to sway to the beat of the head in front of him; whereas, the step-seating in Stark 116 calls for easy viewing. Another disadvantage to showing the films in the gym is that the showings were narrowed down to one. This eliminates, for those students who must work Friday nights, the possibility of attending the film - meaning a smaller audience for MANUSCRIPT. The double-showing practice was also favorable to the faculty, as they cannot attend the 8 p.m. film due to a seminar - again meaning a smaller audience for MANUSCRIPT. With the films in Stark, one could also look forward to a muchneeded coffee break. However, the greatest loss suffered by the move was in the intimat~ atmosphere that reigned in Stark. One felt lost in the G,;and Canyon environment of the gym. The comfort of Stark and, yes, the temperature in Stark put one in the mood for watching such movies as "The Seventh Seal," "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," "Rashomon," etc. Somehow, even Marlon Brando could not make up for the lack of camaraderie formerly associated with MANUSCRIPT movies. A.P. REFLECTING ON 'REFLECTIONS' A room - cluttered, piled, stacked. A staff - busy, relying, producing. A reflection - bold, strong, lovely. The component parts of AMNICOLA. Long after classes were dismissed for the year, and other organizations had set aside their work, the AMNICOLA staff gathered in the evenings to edit what is perhaps the finest yearbook in the College's history. During the year, the photographers spared no ingenuity in capturing the reflections of the College, sometimes superimposing one upon another, sometimes allowing them to speak alone. The picture editors then clipped, fitted, juxtaposed and suggested - reflections. The writers came and added lines which underscored the artists' thoughts of black and white balances and forms. As might be suspected, one personality must stand ahead, creating the esprit de corps and possessing the judgment of harmony whicl\ makes the efforts of fine writers, artists, photoHraphers, and staff workable. Such was the editor-in-chief, Robert Hrynkiw. For the first time the campus waited until September for the publication of the AMNICOLA. A worthwhile wait, indeed. A.T. 'ST ARK' SURVEY Letters To The Editor 11 1'D RATHER DRIP THAN DRIBBLE" Dear Editor, The Manuscript Society is the sole agent responsible for bringing art films to the Wilkes campus and displaying them at times suitable to the greatest number of students and in an atmosphere conducive to intellectual enioyment. One showing of On the Waterfront in the gym hardly fulfills the Manuscript's responsibilities. I saw the Brando epic when it first came out and several times since on television. However, I left work early and arrived at the gym about nine to see the rest of it again. After chatting with Dr. Rizzo, who was alone in the lobby, I had to get a chair from one of the stacks, dribble it down the floor through the sawdust to the haphazardly huddled group of students under the giant screen, and find a place to open it where my head would not be in someone's way. The acoustics were terrible, which helped Brando to out-Brando his own voice quality; "the poor, illiterate thing has a cleft-palate." As I left the "Gymnasium" after the movie, the Greeks were being entertained with a hootenanny and fun and games. It was a fitting Capper to an evening of Waterfront, but hardly within the province of the coldly formal Manuscript. The Society's next film offering, The Little World of Don Camillo, deserves something better. Stark 116 with a coffee break will do. David Stout 4.

TO HEAR, OR TO THE GYM THANK YOU, I.D.C. ''Un 'Coustic'' Complaints Aired by Nancy Ldand and Michael Kanyuck One of the innovations made by Student Government this year was moving the Manmcript movies from Stark I 16 to the gymnasium. The Beacon feels that presenting these movies in the gym seemed, in effect, to detract from the atmosphere generated by the type and quality of movies the Manuscript shows. This is to say that such movies as "Wild Strawberries, " "The Loneliness of the Long-distance Runner," and "The Magician" would lose their effect in the "Grand Canyon environment" of the gym as compared to the more congenial and intimate atmosphere of Stark I 16. The Beacon, as well as the majority of the students interviewed, feels that these elements are missing in the gym. Rick Hackett, "I like the movies better in Stark. I just feel that there's more of an atmosphere there for a movie. They could always hold two showings of the movie if they don't have room . I think they 'll get more people at Stark." Many might say "such are improvements ? ? ? " But the fact is they ARE improvements brought about by I.D.C. in cooperation with William Denion improvements which your representatives have striven for during the past year and have finally succeeded in obtaining. Vicki Tatz, "I think it is more comfortable at Stark. If they had bigger crowds, then they would need the gym. ~ Another function which I.D.C. has handled amicably this semester has been the Orientation and Hazing program for the incoming freshmen. Intelligent handling on the part of the orientation committee has brought the hazing program to a conclusion with little or no dissension. Nick Wartella, "There is a loss of atmosphere at the gym. Sawdust and movies don ' t go together." Marilyn Davis, "From what I saw, I think I would rather have the movie in Stark.

A graduate of the College, his homecoming was not as a student, but as a professor in the English department. Prior to his college career, he was in Patton's Third Army, the Blue Ridge Division, and was stationed in Germany and Czechoslovakia during the Second World War. He was a member of intelligence reconnaissance because of his fluency in the Polish and Ukrainian languages. When the war was over he was sent by the army to study civil engineering at Brigham Young University. In 1948 he entered the College.

Although the council is still in its organizational stages, the membership is actively involved in the current Presidential election on the local level. Several of the council"s members are also members of the Luzerne County Young Republicans and were present at a recent meeting of that organization, when plans were discussed for the council"s participation in the election campaign. Paul Bachman, chairman of the College's council, gave a report on his internship at the Republican Leadership Training School held at Penn State this past summer. Attorney Stanley Brockman asked the Wilkes group to help him in his efforts to win the Sixth Legislative District seat in the Pennsylvania Assembly. The Wilkes group was also asked to help in engaging several young women at the college to act as hostesses for a testimonial dinner in honor of G~vernor William Scranton, October 17. In addition, the Wilkes council is expected to organize Republican College Councils in area colleges, and also to form a teen-age Republican club. The Wilkes Republican College Council is a realization of efforts begun last year by the Luzerne County Young Republicans to organize local college units as part of the Pennsylvania Republican College Council. Charles Petrillo, Paul Bachman, and Ernest Krute, all juniors, were asked to organize the Wilkes Republican unit , which will soon be chartered by the State Council. The Pennsylvania College Council is an autonomous federation affiliated with the Pennsylvania Young Republicans. State organizations of Young Republicans are , in turn, the building blocks of the Young Republican National Federation , an official branch of the Republican Party designated for reaching the young people of America. The Young Republican National Federation recognized early the importance of college people, their ideas, enthusiasm, and interest in the American political processes. The Federation formed a standing committee and charged it with the formulation and d evelopment of a national college Republican program. Through the efforts of the Luzerne Coun ty Young Republicans and the generous co-operation of the college administration, the Wilkes Council is organizing to provide the student body with the means for getting practical political education. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• {Continued from Page 2) Jim Leone, " I enjoy seeing the movies in Stark.

After virtually sweeping the Academy Awards over ten years ago , it has rapidly become a classic of the modern American cinema. Although a powerful experience in itself, it also serves to deepen the disappointment with which one views the later work of both Kazan and Brando both 0f whose later work in the cin~ma nev~r reaches the peak of On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire. by Nick Wartdla V is the first novel of Thomas Pynchon, a graduate of Cornell who now lives in New Mexico.

U.LIC: se ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 9, 1964 LINE UP by CLARK LINE Last Saturday I witnessed the Moravian-Wilkes football game. I sincerely regret that after seeing the contest I felt obliged to write this column, if for no other reason than to relieve my own disappointment at the showing of the team. Nor am I the only one who was disappointed by the 23-8 defeat handed to us by the Greyhounds. My predecessor, James Jackiewicz, critically accosted not only the football team but all of the Wilkes athletic endeavors. I do not wish, nor do I feel capable to write in the caustic and cynical style of Jackiewicz, for on a small campus such as Wilkes, where there is a more personal social relationship among students as compared with a larger school. it is not desirable to lash out with untempered blasts of derision. My purpose here, then, is not to criticize, but to fathom some of the possible reasons why our Colonels have failed to produce, especially so far below their potential as they did in the Moravian game. Part of the poor performance by the Colonels was due to the continued absence of Tom Trosko from the Wilkes line-up. While Rich Roshong played a fine game for the Colonels and led the team in rushing, it is felt that he still lacks the experience which Trosko possesses. Ted Travis-Bey was also sidelined with pulled leg muscles, and thus further handcuffed the Wilkes attack. Secondly, coach Schmidt has been working with a team with nearly half of its members in the freshman class. Because of the injuries to Trosko and Travis-Bey, Schmidt has had no other choice than to rely on his young talent. It is not meant to imply that these newcomers are incompetent. However, it cannot be denied that mistakes are to be expected and mistakes are costly. Schmidt commented, however, that the freshman members of the team are willing and possess an enthusiastic determination to play football. Thirdly, Schmidt is faced with a problem which is not unique to coaches, but which is somewhat complex and difficult to solve. The last time Wilkes fielded a winning squad was in 1950, 14 years ago. Schmidt has had 3 years to undo 11 years of defeat. This long period of loss after loss is bound to have some psychological effect on the members of the team. The situation becomes a vicious circle. The team has a defeatist attitude. The team must win to repair the defeatist attitude, but cannot secure a victory until the state of mind is alleviated. Finally, the caliber of Wilkes talent is slightly checked by lack of financial aid to athletes. We shall not argue the merits of this issue here, but merely state it as a fact. Wilkes plays hot and cold football . I feel that their lack of a sustained effort is in part due to their poor showing in the past. If they draw ahead of a team they relax. It seeems that they are just not satisfied to play unless they are behind. Evidence of this may be seen by a quick survey of the box scores. In the majority of cases, Wilkes has been a late starting or a second half team. It is hard to believe that Wilkes is inferior to its competition, especially when one considers the squad player by player. I do not profess to be a football analyst. I can only speak as an interested and concerned spectator. This editorial was written out of a very deep hurt and disappointment, not vindictively or out of a feeling to be purposely malicious. I am sure that you must agree I have not been sarcastically critical. My purpose here is simply to bring to the attention of the students and even to the players themselves that something is lacking. Be it experience, spirit, coaching or lack of support I know not. I hope it may be remedied in time to prevent such action as was taken by King·s College last year. Though disappointed, I still have great faith in the capabilities of Coach Schmidt and his staff, and in the team itself. I can sympathize with the existing situation and say that it is unfortunate , but in the final analysis it is up to the players themselves to provide the remedy to the existing conditions. by David Dugan Despite the effects of Upset Gulch and hurricane Hilda to subdue, I managed to come out with a fairly healthy average in my predictions. Last week I picked 14 right and 5 wrong to bring my season total to 30 right and 9 wrong for a .769 percentage. Hilda postponed the Louisiana State-Florida game to December 5. Upsets raged across the country as Southern California, Navy, Kansas, and California fell prey to this mean foe. Quite amazing is the sudden rise of Notre Dame. The Irish seem to be back on the victory trail after years of frustration . It looks like Kentucky is the surprise team of the year after beating Mississippi and Auburn soundly. Here are the big clashes this week: Illinois over Ohio State - This clash goes a long way toward deciding the Big Ten title . Ohio St. plays a conservative, yet crushing, gr_o und game. It will provide a stern test for the Illini defense led by Dick Butkusf Michigan over Michigan State - This game is a traditiona rivalry in the Big Ten. Michigan St. upset Southern Cal, while Michigan stopped Navy cold. The winning margin for Michigan is their all around offensive threat. Texas over Oklahoma - Oklahoma is the biggest Hop of the year and Texas will again prove this point. Texas has the best defense in the nation and tailback Ernie Koy can"t be stopped. Southern California over Texas A&M - On the way to the National Championship, the Trojan train was derailed in Michigan. The express gets rolling again, however, as the Trojans will make fewer mistakes while quarterback Fertig and halfback Garrett supply the power. Wisconsin over Purdue - Secret information from a mysterious Mr. X, who bears a remarkable resemblance to a well known educator in the business department, has come to me concerning the Badgers. Other selections include: Navy over Georgia Tech Duke over Maryland Army over Penn St. Missouri over Kansas St. Pitt over West Virginia Rice over Stanford Mississippi over Florida Mississippi St. over Tulane LSU over North Carolina Arkansas over Baylor Washington over Oregon St. Notre Dame over Air Force California over Miami (Fla.)

As in the past, there will again be two leagues. The Dorm League will of course consist of teams representing the various dormitories on campus, while the Independent League will comprise teams composed of day students. At the end of the season, the usual championship game between the first place teams in each league will be held. All games will be played in Kirby Park. Mr. Reese has asked that all rosters be made up as soon as possible and be turned in to him. His office is located on the second Boor at the rear of Chase Hall, or he may be contacted at the gymnasium. Mr. Reese has also requested that anyone interested in participating in the program as an official should likewise submit his name. Wrestling P r a c t i c e Tentatively Scheduled To Begin October 26 John Reese has announced that wrestling practice will formally begin on October 26. He remarked that there are few returnees from last year"s squad, and that a recent meeting was attended by a host of freshman hopefuls. The turnout of 25 pros'.)ective wrestlers shows a good d<>a l of enthusiasm and Reese made it clear that all positions are open. Some of the would-be grapplers have already donned sweat suits and have begun to work out. Ree,se further stated that he would be glad to issue equipment to anyone interested in joining the team. The first match of the season will be held on December 12 at Ithaca . Girls Hockey Team Opens with Victory Over Moravian, 4-3 The girl"s hockey team opened their season successfully last Monday on their home field . In a close game against Moravian , the Wilkes team c-m ero~d victorious with a score of 4-3. Injuries were incurred by Leslie T ohias and Rosanne Hallet. Under the direction of Mrs. Doris Saracino, the squad used a new method of preparation for this season. Extensive exercises were instituted for two weeks prior to the opening game. in addition to the regular practice. This year's squad has approximately sixteen girls, including some new members. Two scrimmages have been played with local high schools prior to the openinQ game. The number of regular games has been lessened considerably due to the !'limination of girls" hockey hy several local schools. Next week the team will compete against Muhlenberg at home and a second game with Moravian at their field . ... lor naluraI shoulders 1 Always a classic, but bigger than ever this year and favored by natural shoulderists . . . the best-dressed men on campus today.

The Greyhounds took the kickoff and returned the ball to their own 35 before being l,rought down by several defenders. Afte·r 4 downs Moravian was forced to punt. Roger Beatty took the ball on the Wilkes 35 but was tackled before he could move. Popovich smashed for a Wilkes first down, but the Colonels were stopped on successive plays and were forced to punt. Bill Schneider's kick was blocked by Pat Mazza of Moravian and the Greyhounds took over. The threat was snuffed out 3 plays later with an interception by Roger Beatty. The game was a stalemate until late in the second period when Moravian end Billy Babinchak hauled in a 21-yard pass from quarterback Jerry Transue. The point after was missed. Wilkes received the kickoff at the s tart of the second half but was forced to punt. Moravian then drove down to the Wilkes 27 at which point Vince Seaman kicked a field goal. Ed Comstock took the kickoff and returned it to the 35, but the Colonels punted 3 plays later. Roger Beatty intercepted his second pass of the day , picking off the Moravian pass on the 46. T en plays later fullback Popovich scored from the 3-yard line. Rich Roshong fired a pass to Popovich for the 2-point conversion. Moravian took the kickoff and drove f~r the final score with Jerry Transue scoring from the 3. Wilkes took the kickoff but was forced to give up the ball on downs . Moravian had taken two plays when Mike Romeo intercepted a pass for the Colonels. Wilkes began to drive for a score but time ran out. COLONELS GET A BREAK looters Defeated By Moravian and Upsala To Bring Log To 0-3 by Ivor Smith Playing away, the Wilkes hooters were handed two defeats last week at the hands of Moravian and Upsala, bring the Colonel log to 0-3. The Greyhounds of Mo r av iii h s•omped on Wilkes 7-2 in a game made hazardous by a driving rain. Moravian netted two goals in the first period, and came back with two in the second, making the score 4-0 at half time. In the early part of the second half , Wilkes produced their only two qoals, with Bob Eurich tallying both. Moravian went on in the final periods to counter three more times, as the Colonels went down to thei r second loss of the season in as many starts. The \'.Jame with the Upsala Vikings found the Colonels hungrily lookin\1 for their first win as they led at half time by a score of 2-1. Richard Eeck and Al Gilbert made the pointer~ for Wilkes. Standouts for the Colonels were freshmen Roger Beatty with two interceptions, and Mike Romeo with one. Bill Schneider, Dale Edwards and Jack Gallagher threw Moravian for several big losses. In the backfield, Popovich, Ed Comstock, and Beatty usually picked up long yardage whenever they carried the ball. Key injuries plagued the Wilkesmen. Center Ralph Hend ershot and wingback Jack Jarvela were sidelined with injuries suffered against Lebanon Valley. Senior halfback Ted TravisBey was also put out of action by a leg injury in the first quarter. Tom Trosko saw limited action but still showed some of the effects of a preseason injury. Wilkes completed 3 of 17 passes for 43 yards. Moravian compiled 244 yards rushing compared to the Colonels' 173. Penalties nullified key gains for the Wilkesmen throughout the contest.

SOPH QUARTERBACK SHINES IN SUBSTITUTE ROLE WHILE PACING COLONEL GROUND GAME RICH ROSHONG to- (pass) . Secures Nod The Week'' by Leah Anderson The score of last Saturday's football game against Moravian showed the Wilkes Colonels to be the losers, yet the Blue and Gold was not without an outstanding player. From this contest Beacon's choice for Athlete of the Week. The award goes to quarterback Richard Roshong who took over the role of signal caller after senior quarterback Tom Trosko was injured in a scrimmage. Rich is from Spring Mount, Pennsylvania . While at Wilkes the 19 year old education major stays at Dennison Hall. He played his high school football at Souderton Joint High School where he was not only an outstanding football player, but he earned letters in track and wrestling. During the Wilkes-Moravian game, Roshong displayed all the talents of a poised and able quarterback. He passPd the ball with accuracy, completing 3 important passes for 43 yards. The second half proved ill-fated for the Colonels as the Vikinqs took advantage of the faltering Wilkes defense and countered three times in the final stanzas. Wilkes vainly attempted to score time after time , and some heated arguments developed on several occasions. The Colonels finished the game on the short end of a 4-2 score in dropping their third straight. His pass to Gary Popovich in the end zone accounted for the 2 point conversion made after th e only Wilkes touchdown of the game. He ran the ball with .speed and deception, gaining 77 yards on 13 carries to emerge as the team's leading ground gainer. Two of these carries, one for 15 yards and the other for 10 yards, set up the Wilkes touchdown. FERRISMEN EYE INITIAL WIN ON PARENTS' DAY Tomorrow the Wilkes Colonels takeon a strong fo e in Middle Atlantic C on ference competition when they vie with the Vikings of Upsala College in the 2nd Annual Parents' Day contest. Upsala is a new addition to the Colonel sch ~dule this season and looms as a formidable foe. The Vikings were defeated by Montclair St. last weekend but the loss was no indication of the caliber of the Upsala squad since Montclair is listed high among the MAC contenders this year. Upsala is the squad which put an end to the long winning streak of Susquehanna University last season by stopping the Crusaders 34-12.

Maybe it was Mr. Frank Burnside, a member of the board of trustees at the College, who let us borrow the follow spot from Irem Temple. But it was Mr. Al Groh who told us where lights were available. Then there was Millie at the Bookstore who took seat reservations. Was it people like Ron Grohowski who came into the gym and asked what he could do to help? Or was it Mr. Hoover? Maybe it was Ed Lipinski, who worked two nights setting up the lighting. It could have been Mr. Gasbarro who kept a threequarter bass available throughout the entire performance. I'd like to express a sincere thank On March 26, 1962, in Baker vs. Carr, the Supreme Court of the United States, by a vote of 6-2, held that citiyou to everyone who helped to make zens whose votes in elections of state legislatures are "diluted" (made less influential than those of other citizens by the Theodore Bike) concert a success. malapportionment of districts) can seek and obtain relief in federal courts. On February 17, 1964, in Wesberry vs. The attendance was approximately Sanders, the Court, by a vote of 6-3, held that congressional districts in states must be as nearly equal in population 1500, a very pleasing approximation I as possible. On June 15, in a group of cases headed by Reynolds vs. Sims, the Court held that states must apportion might add, which should allot a net representative in both houses of their legislatures on the basis of districts substantially equal in population.

Because the concert was arranged through an agency, Wilkes will derive the benefit of 20% of the net profit. -H~wever, now that we know what can be done on our own, the next concert will be arranged directly through the entertainer's manager in order to cut out the 80% middleman. I have been asked to comment on these decisions. Since I have not been able as yet to study the opinions in these cases as carefully as their importance warrants, I am not prepared at the present time to take a final stand in regard to them. On the basis of my knowledge of our previous constitutional history , however, I can make a few more or less random ?l>servations which may help to stimulate thought and discussion of these momentous decisici1]1'· Let me say at the start that I think these decisions are good for the nation as a whole. There is no reason w~~ the preponderant political power of the rural areas of the country, achieved in a period when the majority of Americans were farmers, should be carried over into an era in which the rural population is very definitely a minority and in which the problems of the farmer are being pushed into the background by more pressing problems of our increasingly complex industrial civilization. Yet, because of the refusal, frequently in violation of their own laws and constitutions, of state legislatures dominated by rural politicians to reapportion representation, the rural voters have Plans are now being made for the been able to retain political power out of all proportion to their numbers. Quite obviously this is unjust in our twenspring concert which will be held on tieth-century democratic society. Just as obviously there could be no reform via legislation as long as state legislatures were dominated by rural politicians. An impasse had developed: no possibility of reform without reapportionment; no Saturday, May 8. possibility of reapportionment by rural dominated legislatures. This Gordian knot has been cut by the Supreme Thank you once again for your Court's decisions; or, to use another metaphor, its decisions have by-passed the impasse.

It is a place in a man 's heart, a man 's thoughts, a man's art. The man - Bob Smith. The thought - of a wonderful summer. The art - the result of the thought and the man. Signs advertising "A Summer Place" have been fluttering around campus all week. The purpose of these signs is to announce an art show consisting of 20 to 25 works done by Smith, a sophomore art major from New York City. He has been a self-made artist for the past five years and has sold numerous works in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Smith has also been commissioned to design "The Cellar Door, " a new coffee house opening on South Main Street. According to Smith, " the display promises a show unique in itself." His choice of topic was prompted by the fact that the majority of the work on the display was done this past summer in Ogunquit, Maine. Working in a quiet seashore village in southern Maine gave Smith the opportunity to roam along its rugged coast. Ogunquit and its surrounding area offered him endless sources of inspiration. The show will be held in Conyngham Annex, October 20-25 during the following times: Monday through Friday from 12 until 5 p .m. , Saturday from 1 until 4 p .m. , Friday and Saturday nights from 7 until 10 p.m. All works on display are for sale with the price range from one dollar to fifty dollars. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 8cJtcn 8i6/icpAile Jtrf(UiHJ telephone calls, typing, posting signs, urging registered voters to vote, and baby-sitting on Election Day.

The Colonels came on the light end of the 28-8 score. Ted Travis-Bey took the opening kick-off and snakehipped his way to the Wilkes 31 before being brought down. Rich Roshong then ri~ed a pass to Ron Grohowski for 18-yard gain. On the next play Roshi:mg carried the ball to the Upsala 42. Gary Popovich barreled his way to the Upsala 26. Roshong tried to complete the TD pass play to Roger MacLauchlin only to have it intercepted in the end zone by Lou Checchetto. Upsala took the ball on the 20 and began to drive. Fourteen plays later Vikings ' sophomore quarterback, Joe Valenzano, crashed into the Wilkes end-zone on a 7 -yard quarterback keeper. After an off-sides penalty against Wilkes, Tom Papa ran the two point conversion. Wilkes took the hall , but was forced to punt. Upsala drove to the Wilkes 20 before being stopped and tried an unsuccessful field goal. In the second quarter Ted TravisBey intercepted an Upsala pass on the Wilkes 6. Four plays later the Wilkes attack bogged down. Bill Schneider attempted to punt only to have it blocked by Dave Brenner of Upsala. The Vikings took over on the three. Two plays later Valenzano smashed in for the six point tally. The PAT was no good. Uosala got its next break when Wilkes fumbled near midfield. Viking, Phil Huhn, recovered. V alenzano hit Tom Olivadotti with a 32-yard pass. Rich Davis scored Upsala 's third TD from the 15. The PAT was good. The third quarter was a stalemate with neither side able to score or able to put together a sustained drive. In the fourth quarter Dick Giessuebel intercepted a Wilkes pass. Papa picked up good yardage. Lou Checchetto connected with Ed Smith on the one-yard line. Tom Papa smashed in for the Viking score. Checchetto connected with Roger Caruso for the two point conversion. The Colonels hit paydirt late in the game. Tom Trosko tore into the end-zone after a short Upsala point. Trosko then fired a pass to Ted Travis-Bey for the final score of the day. Outstanding for the Colonels was Ted Travis-Bey grinding out 107 yards on four carries for an average of 26.8 yards per carry. ~p MacLAUCHLIN BREAKS UP UPSALA BID by David Dugan Despite big upsets last week, I picked 15 right and 6 wrong to bring my season total to 45 right and 15 wrong for a percentage of .750.

Farley at halftime. Queen Cathy and princesses Mary Russin and Josephine Signorelli Russin were honored with a kiss from Dr. Farley and congratulations from the capacity crowd that attended the game. Miss DeAngelis received a gift certificate from Student Government, a charm bracelet from the Beacon staff, and a rose bouquet from th e classes of '65, '66, and '67. Presentations of the awards for the outstanding dormitory and organizational Hom ecoming displays were then made by Len Mulcahy, president of the Alumni Association. An alumni committee consisting of five members chose the winning displays for their respective categories. For the second consecutive year, Weckesser Hall won the trophy for the best women's dormitory display, and capped the title of the best over-all display with their appropriate theme "Cubweb the Bears." This intricate ropeweb, covering the entire front lawn of Weckesser Hall, had "caught" the miniature Ursinus football players. The colorful "Big Wilkes" Colonel, built by the men of Dennison Hall, won the best men's dormitory award. The threes:ory Colonel cho!ced an Ursinus Bear in one hand and a Lycoming Warrior in the other. The Education Club rec~ived the best organizational display award. The title of their display was "Cage the Bears," and appeared next to the College Library on South Street. The award for the best-decorated car in the parade, which was also chosen by the alumni committee, went to Simon Russin. Accompanying and also complementing the decorated cars were the colorful antique cars, which were engaged through the efforts of John Lore, general chairman of Homecoming, who carefully executed every aspect of the Homecoming activities. Queen Cathy then selected the winners of the Annu 1l Lettermen's Scholarship Raffle. Following the presentations, the kickline and the majorettes, accompanied by the College Band, displayed their special Homecoming routines. The bonfire on Friday night was a great success, due to the combined effort s of Jerri Jean Baird, Diane Alfaro, and their committees. Saturday evening's activities included a dinner-dance for undergraduates, arranged by Grace Jones, Charlotte Wetzel. and Marshall Evans, and decora ted by Sylvia Dysleski. The alumni, on the other hand , were entertained in the Alexander Room of the Hos t Motel. Vol. XXIV, No. 5 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 23, 1964 Sophs Plan Day . D0rm Weekend BEACON 1 by Irene M. Norkaitis The sophomore class, under the direction of Hermon George, is sponsoring a Day-Dorm Weekend to strengthen the relationship between the day student and the dorm student. It will give the day student a chance to experience life on campus, and the dorm student will have the opportunity to be part of a family for a day. This project originated last year when George, candidate for president of the freshman class, used the idea for such a weekend as a major campaign issue. Although he was defeated in the election , a Day-Dorm Committee consisting of five day students and five dorm students, with George as chairman, was appointed. Because the spring semester was nearly completed, the project was postponed until this semester. Now that the fall semester has started, the committee has arranged for all interested sophomore day students to spend the weekend of October 30-3 1 in the dormitories. Following dinner in the Commons, the students may attend the Manuscript film, The Little World of Don Camillo, which will be presented in Stark 116, and the entertainment which has been panned to follow the film. Saturday morning will be reserved for much-needed sleep mi ssed the night before or for doing chores in the dorm. After lunch in the Commons, the football game featuring JunStudents wishing to apply for the iata vs. Wilkes will be nex t on the National Defense Student Loan to be agenda.

SENDS REPRESENTATIVES Johnson Victory TO CHICAGO PRESS CONFERENCE by Sheryl Napoleon Predicted ly Poll President Lyndon Johnson amassed an impressive victory over Senator Barry Goldwater during the recent political poll conducted by the Intercoll egiate Conference on Government. Johnson gleaned 69 percent of the total vote cast as compared with 22 percent for Goldwater and nine percent remaining non-committal. To carry this a bit further, for any political bulfs, an analysis of the percentages of Republicans, Democrats, and lndependents voting for each of the candidates will be given. Ninety-two percent of the Democrats voted for Johnson, four percent for Goldwater, and three percent remained noncommittal. Goldwater captured 47 percent of the Republican vote, Johnson 40 percent and the remaining 13 percent remained noncommittal. The Independents cast 70 percent of their votes for Johnson, ten percent for Goldwater , and 20 percent non-committal. Results of the other balloting revealed a close vote in both the Pennsylvania Senatorial race and the Wilkes-Barre area representative race. Miss Genevieve Blatt received 41 percent of the vote as compared with Hugh Scott's 59 percent. Brockman squeezed through with a 54 to 46 victory over his opponent O'Brien. The business of the convention began with the Convocation last night at 7:30. Today the delegates will attend meetings where they will discuss such items as layouts and reporting in depth. Max Schulman 's appearance as guest speaker at tomorrow 's banquet will climax the three-day scholastic publication workshop. Wednesday evening four members of the Beacon staff travell ed to Chicago to attend the A ssociated Collegiate Press Conference.

SG PLANS HOOT FOR TOMORROW ROYALTY TAKES TO THE FIELD In the New York Senatorial race Robert Kennedy eased to a two to one victory over incumbent Senator Kenneth Keating, defea ting him 63 percent to 37 percent. A breakdown of the campus into poli :ical parties produced approximately 47 percent Democrats, 38 percent Republicans , and 15 percent Independents. The results are tabulated, but only time will tell how the College voters compare with the national voting scene. A further evaluation of the presidential candidates, as seen through the eyes of Wilkes students, can be secured by consulting the Beacon survey of the students presidential preference , located on page two: Homecoming queen Cathy DeAngelis and her court were presented with flowers at their crowning, which took place last Saturday during halftime of the victorious football game against Ursinus. Pictured above are the Homecoming court and their escorts, from left to right: Michael Russin and Princess Jo Signorelli Russin, Chuck Freed and Queen Cathy, and Louis Szabados and Princess Mary Russin. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Friday, October 23, 1964 LETTERS TO TBE EDITOR EDITORIAL Well Done Too often individuals are hesitant to put forth any effort in assisting with a project because they do not feel that their efforts will be recognized. And it may well be that we will not receive individual recognition, but the sooner we realize the importance of group, rather than individual effort, the sooner we will be assured of success in all undertakings. Beacon Slanted Dear Editor: Just one question - how soon can we expect the Beacon to endorse President Johnson? It would seem, from your columns, to be almost imminent. I have been following your fatuous Campaign Comment, and have come to the conclusion that it surely must be completely tongue-in-cheek; no intelligent student could possibly come to the same inane conclusions that ·your 'political' writers do. ·· This group effort idea was, we are sure, instrumental in the success of Homecoming Weekend, one of the most significant weekend~ of the College year. Not only were individuals willing to work together, but organizations also contributed their time and energies to insure the success of this project. To these individuals goes the long overdue credit to which they are entitled, and in extending this credit, it is our hope that others will assume the attitude exemplified by these students. -----------------WHAT •WHERE• WHEN Faculty Seminar - Dr. Hugo Mailey - FACULTY LOUNGE - tonight, 7:45 p.m. Dance - Radio Club, Junius Society - GYM p.m. As a transfer student, I find it most discouraging to find that the Beacon is dedicated to mis-representing the views of this campus; or does it presume that there are only Liberal-Democrats at Wilkes?

Wilkes next score came with The Colonels snapped their three game losing streak by defeating Ursinus College, 42-13. in the Homecoming game at the Wilkes Athletic Field, Saturday. Ursinus took the opening kickoff and returned the ball to the 27. On the first play from scrimmage Ursinus bobbled th e ball and Ralph Hendershot pounced on it for the Colonels. It took only eight plays for the Wilkesmen to score with Gary Popovich blasting through the center of the Ursinus line for the six pointer. Len Rishkofski split the uprights for the seventh point. On the kickoff Ursinus fumbled again ; this time Jim Drager recovered the ball for the Colonels. The threat ended, however, when the Wilkesmen gave up the ball on downs. Midway in the second quarter the Colonels moved down to the Ursinus 15. Paul Purta took the handoff from Tom Trosko, momentarily fumbled , picked it up , and raced for the goal line. The PAT was wide. In the second half Wilkes exploded for 21 points. Ed Comstock broke through off tackle and powered his way 55 yards for a TD. Ursinus scored on a 94 yard touchdown run through th e Wilkes defenders by Jim Wrestlers to Begin Wrestling practice will officially begin on Monday in the gym.

The Colonels scored on their next two drives with Paul Purta smashing in from the 16 and Ted Travis-Bey faked his way through the Bears to end th e scoring for the Colonels. Purta kicked both ex tra points. The Wilkesmen had phenomenal success in their ground game. Eightyseven plays were run from scrimmage for a net total of 419 as opposed to the Bears 47. The Colonels got 27 first downs to the visitors 8. Two Bears passes were intercepted by Ted Travis-Bey and Joe Roszko. The Colonels were forced to punt only three times for an average of 37.7 yards. INTRAMURAi. FOOTBALi. Butler Hall won a hard fought struggle over Miner Hall in the dormitory division of the intramural football league by a score of 7-0. The game was decided in the 2nd quarter on a long touchdown pass from Bill Tinney to Dennis Quigley . The extra point was added by Pete Galderman. Leon Obrzut and John Cavalini each scored twice as the Roadrunners trampled the Transfers 40-0 in the Ind ependent Division. Teams are asked to check their schedules for next week's games. by I. Jones Smith Nearing the halfway mark of the season, the Wilkes hooters are winless. Last Saturday the Lycoming Warriors turned up a 4-2 margin to down the Colonels. The Colonels MAC log is now 0-5. with 7 games remaining. Wilkes succumbed to Lycoming in the last quarter, much in the same pattern of past games. Early in the 1st quarter Lycoming scored in a fast play. Wilkes evened it in the 2nd as the Colonels scored on a goal by Bob Eurich. The score stood 1-1 at the half. The 2nd half began to the Colonels' advantage when Rich Beck countered on a quick play. The Warriors came back with a goal making it 2-2 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The last stanza proved to be illfated for the Colonels. Lycoming countered twice, taking advantage of the Colonels slacking rein. Lycoming held the margin until the final gun. Rain made a hazard of the playing field and curbed many Colonels goal attempts. The field is slanted and has a pitched mound at one end. This, along with the mud , made playing difficult. The Colonels will have to fight hard to even their record season. M.uhlenberg was host to the Colonels last Wednesday ( the score was not available for this issue). Tomorrow the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra host Wilkes. Both Muhlenberg and Hofstra were lower in the standing last season than was Wilkes, so the Colonels may pick up a few wins. •••••••••••••••••••••••• One Block Below Campus On the first lap John Surtees, driving a Ferrari , shot into lead only to have Cla_rk, driving a Lotus, take over on the twelfth lap. Clark set a terrific pace until the 44 lap when his car began having ignition trouble. Graham Hill in a 1;3~M took the lead on the 45 lap and kept it until the end , finishing about thirty seconds ahead of Surtees. · Clark had changed cars with his teammate, Mike Spence, also driving a Lotus and was still running third near the end when his second car of the day faltered and he was forced into the pits to stay. Out of a field of nineteen cars starting, eight cars finished. Graham Hill added nine points to his thirty-two points giving him forty-one , thus confirming for the championship . Surtees is second with thiry-four and Clark remains with thirty points. There is only the Mexican Grand Prix left and even if Clark did win , Hill would still have more points. • •• • • •• • • •• • • • • • •• • • • • • • •• • • • • • • •• •• • • •• • • •• • •• • • • STUDENT PRICES Get An "A" In Preparedness at your OFF-CAMPUS BOOKSTORE COMPLETE line of school supplies DEEMEB'S • TOP QUALITY WILKES-BARRE 6 WEST MARKET STREET • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • o• • • • • • • • • • • .;~~ •. •: • •· - _:: P,·<.t· ✓,.,..' ...... .. , ...

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Vol. XXIV, No . 6 Friday, October 30, 1964 Chicago Press Convention Campus Vagabonds Rally Round 'Loop' MAX SCHULMAN ADDRESSES 1105 COLLEGE STUDENTS ON "OBLIVION MADE EASY" Zawadski Announces Registration Time by Charlotte Wetzel Mr. Alfonso Zawadski, College Registrar, has announced the following schedule for the registration period: SPniors, juniors, and engineering students , Nov. 2-6; sophomores, Nov. 9-13; and freshmen, Nov. 16-20. Students are reminded that a fee will be required for late registration. Prior to meeting his advisor, each s·udent must pay a $25 tuition deposit at the Finance Office in Parrish Hall. The student must present the receipt to his advisor before he will be allowed to sign the registration forms. Master schedules of the courses to be offered in the spring semester are now available on campus. In order to save time for all concerned, the student should review the master schedule and prepare a tentative program. The advisor's signature, which must appear on the registration form, will make the schedule valid. The College reserves the right to make changes on the master schedule and to balance sections after the comple tion of registration. If a student desires to change his schedule, he must obtain his advisor 's consent in writing and pay an additional course change fee . The approval of the Dean and the department chairman concerned must be secured by a student who is requesting a change of major. Schedules and billing data will be mailed to the students in January. The balance of tuition and other fees must be paid by January 16, 1965, preferably by check or money order. There is a fee assessed for late payment. Those who want to obtain financial assistance through scholarships or loans may secure further information from Mr. Arthur Hoover's office, which is located on the first floor of Chase Hall. Students who fail courses in the fall semester and find it necessary to repeat them can make final schedule changes on January 28 at the gym between 2 p .m. and 4 p.m. Last week four members of the Beacon staff, Alis Pucilowski , Linda Edwards, Ruth Partilla, and David Stout, attended the Associated Collegiate Press Convention at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. A total of I 105 students attended, representing 41 states, Washington, D. C., and Canada, 324 colleges and universities, 516 publications, 608 papers, 447 yearbooks, and 50 magazines. At the convocation Mr. Frank Eyerly, nationally known journalist and editor in Minnesota, opened the convention. His topic concerned trends in newspaper writing with specific attention paid to campus editions. Mr. Eyerly said that a generation ago flabby journalism reigned supreme. Between World Wars I and II little news in college papers concerned political and economic problems. Today, however, there is more communication in our society. There may be, he said, a problem of "over-communication," in which case editing becomes a game of musical chairs. That is, the editor is often faced with the problem of not knowing "whom to seat." SG PUBLISHES BUDGET FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES stark by Vicki Tatz On election night, November 3, Student Government and I.D.C. are cosponsoring an Election Night Party in the Commons. Four television sets will be available to watch returns, and refreshments will be served. Women students who attend will be granted special I a.m. permissions. Ken Antonini and Sandy Faux, representing Student Government and I.D.C. resp~ctively, are chairmen of the affair. Six scholarships, each worth $220, are being offered by Student Governmeut. Applications can be obtained from Millie Gittens at the Bookstore on November 2. The deadline for returning applications to Miss Gittens is November 16. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of need, academic achievement, and participation in extra-curricular activities. The Extra Curricular Activities Budget for this year has been drawn up, subject to the approval of the Administrative Council. Its provisions are as follows : Grant Request Grant 63-64 64-65 64-65 Organization .. .... Amnicola Beacon Collegians ..... .. . Cue 'n Curtain .....

The discussion is scheduled for October 30-31, and will be held in the Hotel Warwick, Philadelphia. Dr. Moravec will moderate the October 31st meeting, where his duties will include introduction of the speakers and channeling questions from the floor to the panel members. This will be the fifteenth annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Sociological Society. Other members at the discussion will include faculty from Lycoming College, West Chester State College, Grove City College, and Johnstown College. The first part of the Day-Dorm Exchange program, sponsored by the sophomore class, will take place today. Hermon George, chairman of the project, emphasized the purpose of the two weekends, which is to give an opportunity for day and dorm students to become better acquainted. If this first affair is successful, other such weekends may follow to give those who were unable to participate another opportunity to do so. Fifty students are participating in this exchange fourteen pairs of women and eleven pairs of men. Day students will have an opportunity to learn about dorm life apd to participate in the activities of this weekend. After dinner in the Commons this evening, the "dorm " students may attend the Manuscript movie , The Little World of Don Camillo, in Stark 116. Saturday morning is reserved for relaxation. Following lunch, there will be a car caravan to the Wilkes vs. Juniata football game, leavin\'.l Parrish parking lot at I :30 p.m. After the game, the weekend is officially ended. Next week, November 7, twentyfive dorm students will visit the day students' homes. The main feature of this day will be a home-cooked meal. WITCHES RIDE TOMORROW NIGHT The class of '67 and T.D.R. are sponsoring a Halloween Hayride tomorrow night at the El Pocono Dude Ranch. Immediately following the hayride there will be an informal dance, du ring which hot-dogs. hamburgers, chips, pretzels, and cokes will be served. As a special feature, the Dude Ranch will be decorated according to the Halloween theme. Students are asked to dress casually ... and advised to dress WARMLY. 11& Hosts Manuscript Film Starr!ng Fernandel The Manuscript films will return to Stark 116 tonight with the presentation of The Little World of Don Camillo, starring French comedian Fernande!. It is the story of a lively, human, charming village priest battling in his own unusual way the Communist mayor (played by Gino Cervi) of the town. It tells how he outmaneuvers him , sometimes gets into trouble , but always battles for both the spiritual and physical welfare of his flock . Don Camillo is played by Fernande!, whom many critics consider to be one of the three greatest comedians of all time, along with Cantinflas and Charlie Chaplin. He is considered to be the comedian of French theater , and is the biggest box office attraction in France today. Through personal contacts, the students exchanged many valuable ideas about other school newspapers. Many other clues toward more effective collegiate newspapers were obtained at meetings. Avant-garde headlining asserts that it is proper to have a seemingly larger headline than a story set in such a way that the difference is not perceptible. Make-up has, in the past five years, been moving towards a "horizontal" style; that is, more material runs across the page than down. Bigger Pictures It has likewise been the opmmn of the delegates at this convention that pictures should be bigger and sharper. In the future the BEACON intends to make full use of the artistry of Bob Cardillo, its "ace" photographer. At the discussion dealing with form and content of editorials, the delegates proposed that each newspaper include in its policy a statement whereby news of international importance might be commented upon. The BEACON has, in the past, taken a stand on such issues as the Cuban invasion, the Warren Report, and has, in thi-s issue, endorsed a political candidate for President. Because of a position held by Miss The movie will be shown at 7 p.m. Pucilowski last summer, the copy and 9:30 p.m. in Stark I 16; and re- reading technique has already been (Continued on page 3) freshments will be served.

Last week-end the first intercollegiate hootenanny for the term was held at the gym. This event was sponsored by the Five College Council. An exceptionally good turnout of approximately one thousand students made the F.C.C.'s first 64-65 endeavor a complete success. Throughout the year other such hootenannies will be sponsored in various gyms. The F.C.C. will also be active in bringing independent college events to the attention of the five area colleges. �Friday, October 30, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 "The Spy Who Came In" EDITORIAL WE ENDORSE Dear Editor: During the past few months the American public has wit- I have often wondered what transpires behind the hallowed doors of the Beacon office during the hectic night prior to publication.

Our hard-working lady editor, Miss Alis Pucilowski, was busily engrossed with another staff member in Our choice for President is based upon the issues of nuclear what appeared to be a scene from "Lady Chatterley's Lover." (Ed. note - Tropic of Cancer) Over in one corner a group of "staff" members had gathered and were engaged in something reminiscent of policy, foreign policy, role of the federal government in civil the fertility dance of the Laturka tribe. (Ed . note - Kwakiutl tribe) rights, aii.d domestic programs. Senator Barry Goldwater advocates nuclear authority for the NATO Supreme Commander. President Lyndon Johnson maintains it should be the responsibility of the President to initiate the use of nuclear weapons. Senator Goldwater changes his stand on the United Nations weekly. President Johnson maintains it is the best conceived method yet devised to deal with international problems. WE ENDORSE PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Senator Goldwater implies the necessity of a federal police force to combat crime and juvenile delinquency, while he disavows federal authority to enter into the civil rights cases. While President Johnson advocates increased efforts in combatting crime and juvenile delinquency, he has not proposed a federal police force to patrol streets to combat local crime. WE SUPPORT PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Domestic economic programs is another area of disagreement. Senator Goldwater does not favor federal aid. President Johnson has favored programs giving aid, loans, and matching grants. These programs include ARA, which has played a major role ih the redevelopment of the valley and the development of our ca'mpus. WE SUPPORT PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Senator Goldwater has sought to offer the people a choice in this election. From the comments of voters it is evident that this is not the choice wanted in most areas. Many voters are not in favor of one candidate, rather they are against the other. On the issues of the campaign, the BEACON endorses the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson. At the same time it is our hope that the many good Republican candidates ( conservative, moderate, and liberal) will not suffer defeat on the basis of their party's Presidential candidate. Eventually, upon the entrance of a seasoned "staff" member, we were treated to an exhibition of Judo technique, or at least some of the more basic elements. The main consternation of the evening seemed to center around the inability of anyone to produce a headline for the article on Homecoming. Poor Ruth Partilla just sat there in a complete dither bemoaning her sad state of affairs, since this seemed to be her assignment. Meanwhile, between orgies and various appraisals of the physical characteristics (muscle content) of men , including actual tactile evaluation, Miss Pucilowski barked orders to the " group-at-large." A group which included Misses Edwards, Partilla, and Pucilowski (in alphabetical order) busily discussed essential !~ems relating to the Chicago press conference. Monumental decisions as to clothing apparel, "will it clash ... ? , and accessories took place. Joseph Klaips sat quietly to one side, perhaps contemplating some major doom for all present, or maybe just analyzing the situation, which was in dire need of analysis by a "qualified professional." (Ed. note Steve Gavala) Occasionally a character known as " Peggy Cass" would dart in, issue some profound statement or emotional outcry or proceed to threaten someone, and then disappear as suddenly as she had entered. Marshall Evans contributed his usual belligerency, refusing, among other things, to write a letter to the editor unless he was given sufficient space. (Ed. note - 21 inches) The tenseness and excitement of the evening seemed to be building up to fever pitch as everyone anxiouiily, awaited the appearance of the vern1r'.:. able "Mr. Softee." As the natives became increasingly restless, their chant was heard originating from the back room - "Mr. Softee . . . " - to the tune of the jingling bells. Then, all at once, this divine emissary appeared, and the mass exodus began. The revolt of the natives was in full swing and This is Old Town, Chicago.

Editorial and business offices located at Pickering Hall 201, 181 South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on the Wilkes College campus. SUBSCRIPTION: $2.50 PER YEAR 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. Offsetting this attitude are the dormitories that achieved 100% cooperation and those that far surpassed this goal. The students' cooperation, on the whole, coupled with the efforts of their I.D.C. representatives, manifested itself in the amassing of almost 90% of the desired goal for the dormitory students. This, however, was not the case with the day students. While the apathy displayed by the dorm students was confined to one dormitory and a few individuals, the apathetic attitude of the day students was the rule, not the exception. With the exception of a minority of students who fulfilled their obligations, the overall showing of the " day-hops" was minimal. Four hundred and fifty dormitory students contributed more than twice the amount of the 1100 day students. It seems quite ironic that these are the same day students that complain about the lack of unity on campus - the lack of rapport between day ·and dorm students. They were not a part of the college effort in this drive, yet they expect to be considered a part of school in other areas. Let tangible evidence, not meaningless words, convey the attitude of these individuals. One can discuss "ad infinitum" the amount of apathy displayed _ everyone by now has had his fill of this subject _ but can one do anything about it? NO!! One person alone cannot, but perhaps if everyone who has been satiated with this subject to the brink of despair would unite and do somethin(I about it, another " United Fund Episode" would be avoided. Thatcher Tips Hat Dear Editor: I am writing this letter to express my thanks to all the Wilkes students who volunteered to aid in registering those who attended the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Assoc iation recently. I wish especially to compliment those who were on the firing line when the going was heaviest. The skill and efficiency with which they handled an unfamiliar and difficult job was impressive and most commendable. Their aid was greatly appredated by the committee on local arrangements. I should also like to take this opportunity to express the appreciation of the committee to the Commons em- ployees who served the refreshments in the faculty lounge on Friday afternoon and to Mrs. Nada Vujica and her assistants who arranged the display of Pennsylvania books in the lounge at that time.

Stephen Gavala �Friday, October 30, 1964 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Cox. Farrar: The Great Debate Spooks Ride MarkTwainCastsPearlsolWisdom Button Your At a recent assembly, Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Welton Farrar debated on the merits of the presidential candidates. Mr. Farrar pointed out that in Goldwater's campaign there is a departure from the type of campaign that gave Dwight Eisenhower success and nearly put Richard Nixon in the presidential office. He then went on to define the "radical right." Mr. Farrar said that the execution of Goldwater's foreign policy would have made a more dangerous situation of such political crises as the invasion of Cuba and the Hungarian revolution. Furthermore, he stated that Goldwater's domestic policy is a departure from the accepted principles of Democrats and most Republicans because it does not have provisions for broadening social security and civil rights. In his opening_ statements, Dr. Cox stated that from a military aspect, the qualifications of Goldwater were superior to those of Johnsons because of Goldwater's military experience. In the field of domestic policy, Dr. Cox asserted that Goldwater advocated measures that would allow for less centralization of power in the hands of the national government. He emphasized the fact that the change in Russian government demands that the United States show a more "judicious suspicion" towards the Russians as is advocated by Goldwater. The present administration, he felt , maintains a more "friendly" attitude. SMITH ON MARK TWAIN At Thursday 's assembly the College will be entertained by GeorgeWilliam Smith, famous for his performance of "An Evening with Mark Twain." Dr. Smith is a graduate of Hamline and Northwestern Universities. As a professional actor, he has portrayed leading roles in over 175 plays. Since he took part in the Mark Twain Memorial Birthplace Shrine in Florida, Missouri, June 5, 1960, Dr. Smith has been portraying Twain and he intends to devote the entire 1964-1965 season to the lecture platform. He is under the management of the Redpath Bureau, the same agency that booked the original Mark Twain many years ago. Dr. Smith appears in a white suit and white mustache and wig , leans on the lectern, and entertains the audience with timeless words of the great humorist. His imitation is so great that one person who had seen the original Twain in the early I 900's thought it was the original gentleman re-incarnated. Dr. Smith is planning a coast-to-coast tour which will start in the East and take him through the southwest to Los Angeles and San Francisco. He will then return to Virginia City, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago. When one hears Dr. Smith, Twain's marvelous and original humor is evident. Twain was more than a humorist, he was as Albert Bigelow Paine said, "a great writer, a great philosopher, a great man . . . the supreme expression of the human being, with every strength and weakness." Among the list of folk heroes, Twain rates only a little below Lincoln. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Boston Bibliophile Inquires Toga - Lock Your Chariot by Helen Dugan Tomorrow is the long-awaited day.

The intended victims are the Juniata Indians, wqo have a record of 3 wins and 2 losles. The game will be played at the Wilkes College Athletic Field in Kirby Park. Although Juniata is favored to down the Colonels, the spirit of the team couldn't be higher after the recent victory over Ursinus 42-13. This should be one of the Colonels' most exciting games this Th e Wilkes soccer team played two games last week. Both games were away. The Wilkes hooters failed to bring home a win, but did play to a tie in both encounters. Hard play and extreme effort on both sides led to a 0-0 deadlock between Wilkes and M u h 1 e n b e r g . Neither team had an overall advantage, but Wilkes was lucky to hold the Muhlenberg squad pointless. In last Saturday's action , Wilkes and Hofstra battled to an indecisive 1-1 standstill. Wilkes outplayed the Flying Dutchmen, who were lucky to get their counter. Wilkes ' goal was scored by Rich Beck on a cross from Al Gilbert. season. BUTLER HALL TOPS DORMITORY LEAGUE IN I M COMPETITION In the Dormitory Division of the Intramural Football League, last year's championship Barre squad proved to be too much for the newly grouped Hollenback team. Evan Evans was the offensive standout for Barre , scoring 12 points. Quarterback James Dunn also played a good game for the winners. Hollenback's lone touchdown was scored by Bob Vanderoeff. The fina\ score was 37-7. In the: Independent Division, the Simple S\X: defeated the Barons 26-19 in a seesaw battle which saw the rugged Simple Six defense hold up under pressure. The Simple Six were led by the brilliant catching of Zoborski and Sharoh, while Lebowitz scored 2 touchdowns for the Barons. The Colonel log is now 0-2-5 as they pass the halfway mark in conference competition. The hooters have five games remai ning in which to produce a win. Pictured above is Wilkes quarterback Tom Trosko carrying the ball. Trosko resumed his starting role in Last Wednesday the team played the Ui sinus game after several weeks on the injured list. Susquehanna (score unavailable) , and letter from The Editor Returning to the thoughts expressed in a Line-Up column of some weeks ago, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the football team and Coach Schmidt. Unfortunately, we have been faced with an obvious space problem the last few weeks and regret that room was not available to do justice to the squad for its fine showing against Ursinus. The victory proved that Wilkes has what it takes to be a top contender in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Perhaps the Colonels will begin to show their power more often and defeat the attitude which I feel is largely responsible for the mediocrity of the last few seasons. However the fortunes of the team evolve, I feel the team deserves the congratulations herein. I was impressed and would like to once more give the team a hearty , "Well done ." Clark Line, Sports Editor On Wednesday an outweighed YMCA squad scored a surprising upset over the big Gore team. A safety and 2 touchdowns accounted for all of the points. The final score was 14-6. The Impalas, of the Independent League, controlled the ball throughout most of the game, but the Mets, nevertheless, were able to squeeze a last minute score to tie the game at 6-6. Morgan led the Impala attack while the Mets used many different playmakers. In the final game of the week, Butler Hall gained its second win of the season and took sole possession of first place in the Dormitory League with a 22-6 decision over Hollenback. N ex t week's games are as follows: Monday , November 2, Butler vs. YM CA; Tuesday, November 3, Road Runners vs. Mets; Wednesday, November 4, Gore vs. Hollenback; Thursday, November 5, Barons vs. Impalas; Friday, November 6.
