Dr. Daniel D etwiler , head of the graduate science program, is in charge of the library because of his capacity in the science department. Graduate students who use the library have a number of periodicals, journals, and books available to them in the fields of chemistry , physics, and biology. Although the library is specifically maintained for graduate students, undergraduates who need sources other than those provided by the main library may use the volumes at this branch library. The library is located at the south end of the second floor in Stark Hall. Dr. Detwiler and the graduate students have keys to th e self-locking door and may use the library whenever they w ish . The library is equipped with a micro- film reader, used by those who wish to make a microfilm copy of material they a re unable to keep for a long period of time. This machine was purchased by the Graduate Science Library in the spring semester of last year. The only possible disadvantage that the library possesses is that of its nearness to Chase Theatre. Approximately two feet from the window of the library appears the roof of this building, obstructing any view from the window. It is hoped that with the building of the new Fine Arts Center and the removal of the present one a finer view will be obtained . The Wilkes College Library is pleased to have a new library secretary , Miss Lois Agostini, who joined the staff this semester. The College library now contains 66,000 books, the 66,000th being Modern Chivalry, by Hugh H . Brackenridge.

Westmoreland Club Hosts Two Classes For Dinner Dance Debate Society Attends Clinic At Lehigh Univ. The varsity and novice members of the College Debating Society recently attended a Novice Debate Clinic at Lehigh University . Among the colleges particlpating were: Penn State, Rutgers, ; King 's, Villanova, Columbia Ma rywood , Misericordia, L e h i g h , Temple, and the University of Pennsylvania. The purpose of the clinic was two-fold: first to observe a college debate and to introduce the novices to the new atmosphere; secondly, to give the debaters information on techniques for developing the topic, Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Institute a System of Public Works for the Unemployed. amined the topic in detail. The discussion centered in depth studies of both affiirmative and negative techniques, and proper presentation of research material. Also discussed was the matter of rebuttal, so important to a good debater. The highlight of the day came when Lehigh debated Rutgers on the above mentioned topic. The debate gave the novices their first look at an actual college debate. Preparations are underway for Cue 'n Curtain's future production of "The Sound of Music. " The musical will be presented in the lrem Temple auditorium on November 19, 20, and 21. The show is being co-sponsored by the College and the Kiwanis Club. In order to accommodate the large crowds anticipated, the Kiwanis Club has requested that a matinee be held an Saturday, November 21. at I :30 p.m. Invitations are b eing sent to 40 area high schools inviting a select number of drama, music , and art students and their teachers to a preview performance. Featured in lead roles of the production are John Hyer as Captain Von Trapp and Rhea Politis Simms as Maria.

It is being built on property which was deeded to the College in 1947 by the Wyoming Valley Society of Arts and Sciences, and is expected to be completed in September of 1965. The plot, adjacent to T emple Israel, is located in the area approved by the City Planning Commission for the future expansion of the College. A generous contribution was received from anonymous donors interested in the visual and performing arts , but construction was delayed for two years because of the need for extensive engineering tests. These tests determined the possibility of mine subsidence and rising mine waters in the area. During this time, Dr. Farley, Mr. Lacy of Lacy, Atherton, and Davis, and Mr. Al Groh visited college theatres in the northeastern United States to gather ideas for the center at the College.

" This statement, made by Mr. Raymond Nutaitis, new teacher in the College's music department, would perhaps best describe him. Mr. Nutaitis believes it is important to have a range of interests. He says, "An ordinary person just naturally turns to music as a form of relaxation from his other activities. He listens to it on the radio, on records, everywhere. A musician turns to music also. It can be easy for him to fall into a narrow path with no other interest, because his means of relaxation is also his way of life." When asked if this affected him, he replied , " It's been a problem at times." Besides having wavy blondishbrown hair, very blue eyes, and a master 's degree in music, Mr. Nutaitis has an as yet undeveloped interest in art (water colors especially) and photography (slides and 35 millimeter cameras especially.) His office is in Gies Hall, a building which is thoroughly familiar to him, since he attended the College for four y ears and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in music education in 1962. His desk is piled with books, notebooks, and papers. Although there is also a pipe, pipe cleaners, and a package of Red Maple pipe tobacco, he smokes cigarettes (unfiltered) . Across from his desk is a music stand, on which lies a book of etudes printed in Russian for the tuba. the instrument in which he specializes. H e began his musical career by taking piano lessons. His earliest influence was "my father , who played the accordion for thirty years - mostly dance music." After graduating from Hanover Township High School and Wilkes College, Mr. Nutaitis went on to Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. He said that George Eastman , of Eastman Kodak Company, donated $20,000,000 to the community and told them to build a school for music. "Someone should do that around here, " Mr. Nutaitis laughed. "Gies Hall can be disadvantageous at (Bob Cardillo Photo) RAY NUTAITIS times. It's not designed for music. Ideally , the rooms should be soundproof. But we'll just accept it and wait until something comes around, hopefull y in the near future. You can quote me on that, especially the near future ." On rock 'n' roll, he said, " I consider it music, yes. Now, the worth and the value is something else. It's important in that it provides young people with an outlet. " He paused, and added, "What worries me is that rock 'n roll is basically a very, very simple form of music." He feels that it could be detrimental to a person's cultural development because it might be the only music that he is exposed to during his teen years. H e would have no chance to develop a taste for other music. "This past year, I kind of got attached to some of the Beatles' tunes . . . what's that one?" He hummed a few bars. "A Hard Day's Night," that's it. I really like that. You can quote me on that, too." When asked about folk music, he replied, " I look at it in two different ways. As a human being, I find it catchy and appealing. As a musician, I say that it is not real folk music it's commercialized to sell." Real folk music, he believes, has an anonymous author, has been added onto fer generations , and should be sung by one person with a simple accompaniment on a guitar or banjo. Here he fingered the frets and strings of an imaginary guitar to emphasize his point. Aside from classical music, he en- · joys jazz. "I find it difficult to put any kind of lase! on jazz - modern, progressive , or Dixieland. I think any jazz artist being individual is being modern, although he may be labeled a conservative." After teaching for awhile, Mr. Nu taitis would like to work towards a doctorate, then settle down and teach in a "not too big " liberal arts college, possibly in the Midwest or the Far West. At last week's meeting of the Forum Louis AI~_ert,. a freshman stud~nt, spoke on Votmg Trends and Votmg Blocs." Albert discussed the ways in which people vote and factors that influence them. He also mentioned the "480," a computer system which predicts how the people will vote. A vigorous discussion on this topic followed.

The Indians capitalized on Wilkes fumbles an¢-· pass interceptions in defeating the Colonels. Juniata got on the scoreboard in _the first quarter on a 16 yard pass from quarterback Gary Sheppard to end Bob Pascale. Don Corle booted the extra point. The Susquehanna contest entered the last quarter in a 1-1 deadlock. Susquehanna scored their first point in the opening quarter with Wilkes coming back with a goal by Bob Eurich soon after. The scoring lapsed until the last quarter when Susquehanna talleyed for the game deciding goal. The Indians hit the scoreboard once again on a 39 yard field goal by Corle with 10:33 left in the second period. Then with 44 seconds remaining in the half, Sheppard hit Barry .

One of their first tasks is to have the seniors submit three by five glossy photographs of themselves to the Amnicola office.

William Gasbarro, chairman of the music department, is musical director, and Richard Chaplipe is vocal director. Captain Von Trapp, portrayed by John Hyer, represents one of the last of the aristocratic Austrians determined to resist the demands ma.de by the new German commanders of the Third Reich.

Association with Elsa The Captain is closely associated with Elsa (portrayed by Betsy Dukes), his wealthy, devoted friend. Although her laissez-faire actions toward the Germans begin to sway the Captain's feelings, she lacks the sincerity and depth of conyiction to have any great influence on him. The character of Max. portrayed by James Eitel, eases the tenseness of the plot and emphasizes the light political satire.

The cast of the joint Wilkes-Kiwanis Club production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music" have been busily rehearsing for the past month. We watched them for approximately an hour recently, and evidently, the play contains what it needs to make it - tritely - a "hit;" namely, esprit de corps. For the current group of thespians, the play's the thing. It will be a success. From Mark Bliss' athletic feats to Betsy Dukes' upstaging antics (both off-stage), we realized that affairs are what one makes them at the College. In re!<±ent issues of the BEACON, too much attention has been paid to what has been called "apathy." Angry letters to the editor have trickled in about "what to do about campus apathy." Admittedly, the BEACON has even been guilty of playing up the apathy bit. Well, I, for one, am tired of it. To go to the man who has lately been referred to so often, so much so that one gets the impression he is god, Webster defines apathy as "privation of passion, emotion, or excitement." And this is the word one selects to describe the campus. It is a pity we can no longer distinguish between imply and infer, uninterested and disinterested. We infer that students who don't attend Friday night dances are disinterested in Life at Wilkes. We infer that students who don't attend hayrides are disinterested in Life at Wilkes. We infer that students who don't attend sports events are disinterested in Life at Wilkes. Bah, Humbug! The implication involved in the above "don't attends" is that perhaps students are Uninterested in the particular event. Because we do not read ANTHONY ADVERSE does not imply we don't read. Dances, hayrides, and sports events are for those who are interestfc;l in dances, hayrides, and sports events. An age-old adage H~ it that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make hlni drink. Et tu, apathizers. Let us not condemn a student body for having Taste. I am sure that the cast of "The Sound of Music" would be disappointed if no one attended. I am just as sure that not one actor would regret participating in the . play regardless of the size of the audience. Each of us does a Thing because he wants to; if this is not his purpose, then he is not complete. Granted, that at times we must do some Thing, but this is how the world goes, this is how the world goes: not always forward, but two up and one back. Not for the proud man apart from the raging moon do they act; nor to strut and trade their charms across the ivory stages. One guesses that they give of their time and themselves in answer to some secret question, some common plea. Friday, November 13, 1964 Why Nol SocialiSITI? Dear Editor: I offer my congratulations to the author of "All The Way With LBJ" which appeared in last week 's Beacon. She (or he as the case may be - Ed. Note - she) has pointed out a problem which has rested a long time on the mind of this conservative, and if I do not miss my guess it has weighed heavily in one form or another on the minds of many who do not even consider themselves conservative for fear of being tagged as Goldwaterites or just plain Republicans. The problem is "creeping socialism." I call it a problem because it involves serious doubt in my mind, and I would hope yours too, as to whether it is the proper course for this nation to follow. that it destroys the incentive to work due to the high taxes. It has failed because the decisions of a few political planners are more likely to be in error than the combined judgment of thousands of free merchants, each bargaining for his own best profit and consequently the most effective and efficient combination of resources for all. 2. Socialism will inevitably lead to some type of dictatorship. The proven failure of a socialistic economy always brings further experiments in government which are designed to remedy the failure and only leading to a position which will never allow a return to free enterprise. The only difference between socialism and communism is the degree of control over the individual. One leads to the other, it is only a matter The arguments as to whether or not of degree. our government is actually guilty of this creeping socialism or in what 3.

It is much easier to collect relief than to look for a job, it is easier to have a union force your employer to keep you even though your services are not needed, it is easier to tax those who have achieved and give the difference to the lazy who seem to outnumber the ambitious by ever-increasing numbers each year.

WIikes College force rather than choice by the individuals. While it offers security it eliminates opportunity. It also minimizes the dignity of the individual. NOTICE ' In the next issue 4:>f the BEACON, a new column will be initiated. The theme of this column originated from a book by Wolfgang Kohler called THE PLACE OF VALUE IN A WORLD OF FACTS. The key to Kohler's theme is that he believes a system of morality can be derived by the use of the scientific method. The fault of this theme is that Kohler' often jumps from what is to what ought to be. The new BEACON column will be concerned with the question of morality, i.e. judgments of right and wrong. The first article will be written by Joseph Kanner of the psychology department. He will generally deal with two questions: what is or what should be the function of any moral system, and how does one arrive at a valid moral system7 Keep It Up!

Mr. Evangelista, who is the latest addition to the teaching staff of the College's art department, is also a successful artist. Some of his abstract paintings are now on exhibit in the Scranton and Everhart Museums, and he has two paintings in permanent collections at Kutztown State College and at Pennsylvania State University. When asked if these facets of his two-sided career ever conflict, he replied, "I prefer being an artist-teacher. Through teaching, I am able to influence and inform people, and I am also able to devote time to painting." He enjoys teaching because, "I find I learn a lot from students; they contribute to my betterment as an artist." Although Mr. Evangelista has done some realistic paintings, he prefers abstract art, especially in blue and green shades. The inspiration for most of his works has been his six-year-old daughter. "To me, a snapshot of my daughter is only a visual picture - what she looks like, not what she is or what she does. I paint her actions. This, to me is my daughter." After graduation from college, he taught in Hazleton area schools for eight years before coming to the College. "I like it very much here ," he said. "" It's challenging, stimulating, and satisfying." One of the courses he teaches is silverwork, a new jewE'lry course at the College. He believes that it serves the double purpose of being both functional and artistically gratifying. He sta ted, ""It's an ancient art that really has value today, and fortunately, here at Wilkes, we offer it." On his opinion of modern art in general, Mr. Evangelista stated, "'Any art reflects the era in which it is painted. I think the contemporary approach reflects the times we are living in, with the emphasis on individuality." In his opinion, an artist need not adopt an "'arty " facade to prove that he is an artist. He believes that an attempt of this sort on the artist"s part would tend to turn the layman away from developing any interest in art. ., ~fr. Evangelista has won several prizes for his art, among them the first prize in abstracts in wood-block print in the Berwick Arts and Crafts (Photo by Cardillo) Center, and the Winsor-Newton Award for art at Penn State UniverANTHONY EVANGELIST A sity. where he received his M.A . degree. When presented with his many achievements in art, one is surprised to learn that he has had no background in art and no serious interest in it in high school.

Committee Urges Cooperation Each organization and dormitory on campus was asked to send a representative to the recent meeting of the Student Activities Committee. The reason for this was to co-ordinate all student activities, combat student apathy, and, especially, to provide a readily accessible forum for complaints and ideas from the student body. COLLEGE Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets FRANK CLARK JEWELER Dianne Alfaro and George Vartlett, co-chairmen of the Committee, wish to emphasize that the entire student body is urged to attend these meetings. Many volunteer members of the Committee have been active in improving the spirit of the student body through posters and letters to the Beacon. The Committee is not asking that the students attend every game, club meeting, or dance , but they do urge that they participate in the activities in which they have an interest. In this way, school spirit would be improved and the campus would become a more stimulating place. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• Remember: Common Sense is not so common.

Costumes have been altered the necessary two or more sizes, all the lines have been memorized, and ftaws have been reduced to a minimum through two previous presentations. Tonight the cast will enact "The Sound of Music" for the third time. When the curtain goes up and the play begins, one will get the idea that these players have always been the people whom they are portraying; and that their actions and lines have always been the way that they are now being presented. ~! . Play practices were not precise, calm, and tranquil; they were mass hysteria, bedlam, and madness. Once behind the stage, the most quiet student turns into an evil actor searching for a way to remove any last trace of sanity from the mind of their devoted director. A typical conversation during a typical "Sound of Music" production may go typically as such: " All right gang, let's go! Act I Scene I." "But To~y's . . . " "Well?" "Well, Tony can't come right now. He 's . . .. well .. . he 's ... " "Oh, you mean Tony is .... " "Yeh, that's right." "O.K. We 'll take a break till Tony gets back." Five minutes later. "AJI right gang, let's go! Act Scene I.

I suggest that the the pudding, rather than the panic. The statements are so generalized and valueless in this item that any influence of education seems purely coincidental. The writer has established point-blank (mainly blank) internationally unsolved economic problems with statements such as, "Socialism has been a failure whereever it has been tried." That is a brave statement, sir, but bravery misused does not compliment rationality. Many times a student has been placed into office by the sheer power of his personality or by his friends' prodding other students to vote for their amigo. Too often has it been discovered that the individual was not capable of handling the demands of his position. Our orator's declaration that "Under the socialist system, productivity declines and the standard of living is lower than in a free enterprise system," with pudding proof since almost all Britons lack possession of two cars, is the epitome of super ignorance. Surely our 'greatness' is not in our double-garage system. But then, of course, only an American could go one way in two directions at the same time. His final oration is not worth a rebuttal's value of ink ( "Socialism is essentially an atheistic philosophy") .

I want very much to be treasurer so that I can help lead our class to be one of the greatest Wilkes has ever had. I chose the office of treasurer because I have had experience in this office. While in high school, I had the opportunity of being secretarytreasurer for the Y-Teen club for two Friday, November 20, 1964 years; therefore, I have had experience in the office I am seeking.

My primary purpose for writing this letter for publication in the Beacon is to acquaint all of you with my purposes and qualifications. In high school I served as home-room president for three years. I was also on the Student Council during those years. I have had leadership experience such as when I was captain of various athletic teams. If you elect me, I promise to fulfill all the duties and obligations of the office of Student Government representative for this great class of 1968. I know I have the ability, and with your efforts and support we will get the job done. I have been chosen as a candidate to represent the freshman class in Student Government. Elections are a necessary part of the American way. Many elections, however, become popularity contests rather than a means of selecting the supposedly better man.

Some of my more specific qualifications for Student Government are: Student Council (5 years), Student Council A ward, and several leadership awards. As far as my policies are concerned, I am in favor of publicizing and placing a greater emphasis upon Wilkes College's high academic standards which would be an important factor in the increase of school spirit, the council for day students, and the further development and improvement of the summer reading program. I am also concerned about the expansion of the Student Government as an organization because of the present growth of the student body.

DENNIS JONES My name is Dennis Jones, and I'm running for the office of Student Government representative. I'm not going to make any dire promises. I know that some of the other candidates have pointed out, or invented some weaknesses in our college, but it is useless to say that if elected, they will correct them. It takes a strong Student Government, backed by an interested and responsible student body, to accomplish these tasks. If elected, I will endeavor to do my utmost to promote towards this ideal, and do my best to contribute to the betterment of Wilkes College. CAROLE RUDY As a candidate for the office of Student Government representative, I would like to take this chance to tell my fellow students why I am running for this office. I spent three years , on executive council, the governing body in my high school. I am acc11stomed to the operations of a class in relation to a school's government.

Although they had a losing season, the team did play well, only losing by small margins in a majority of their games. The team had one win and three ties against eight defeats. The ball changed hands twice, the Colonels had the ball on their own 29-yard line and began to drive. Purta and Comstock carried for good yardage on the ground. Trosko hit Ted Travis-Bey for an 11 yard gain in the air. Paul Purta climaxed the 71 yard drive by blasting through the line for the score. The PAT by Len Rishkofski was wide. Leading scorers for the Colonels this season were Bob Eurich and Rich Beck, each booting 6 goals. Rich Bucko contributed a good all-around effort defensively as well as offensively for the Colonels. Wilkes loses five senior soccer players through graduation next year. Among them are co-captains Bob Eurich and Larry Gubanich. This year's freshmen contributed much to the team effort this past season. Next season will be a different story since six starters return for Coach Jitn Ferris. Rich Beck, Rich Harmon, Huddy Harmes, Mike Hudick and Dave Thomas will prove valuable to next year's efforts. •••••••••••••••••••••••• COLLEGE Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets FRANK CLARK JEWELER •••••••••••••••••••••••• CASH SALES ONLY.

With the help of their advisor, David Fendrick, the Society has planned a comprehensive program which will help to develop the College's forensic talent. The purpose in developing this new program, as stated by Ephraim Frankel , president of the Society, is " to think rationally, logically, quickly and humorously - on your feet!" Ephraim Frankel, president, diKusses debating topic with Mr. Robert Werner of the economics depart• ment and Dr. William Bliss of the history department. The Society feels that certain faculty members would be helpful in preparing its topic. Frankel stated that these professors will be invited to lecture at future meetings. Get your ticket from the Lettermen Vol. XXIV, No. 10 Christmas Previews At -"Wonderlond In White" The annual Christmas Formal, ··wonderland in White," sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, will be held at the Manfield Ballroom on Friday, December 11, from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. Tickets are $3.00 per couple and music will be provided by Herbie Green and his orchestra. President Tom Trosko has announced that in order to cut expenses the club has made arrangements for students to obtain tuxedos for five dollars at Baum's. Decorations for the evening will be a product of Letterman initiative. In the center of the Boor will be a massive hand-selected Christmas tree cut and decorated by the Lettermen. The centerpieces for each table, also hand cut, will consist of white birch logs, decorated with pine boughs and blue candles. The back-drop winter scene will be done in blue and white. Punch, spouting from a siver white fountain, will be served along with cookies as the night's refreshments. Polaroid pictures taken of each couple will be placed in a program and given to the couple. As a finale, George Ralston, accompanied by Millie Gittens at the piano, will _lead the Lettermen in the singing of Christmas carols.

He made the startling observation that some unemployment is due to improper training. As certain jobs increase in complexity, they require a higher intelligence in their workers. The minimum requirements of these jobs leave a certain number of people unemployed. In order to acquire information for their present topic, Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Establish a National Program of Public Work · for the Unemployed, the debaters have contacted the governors and attorney generals of the fifty states. Frankel explained, " An overwhelming amount of general information was received from the governors; the attorney generals likewise contributed information on state laws concerning unemployment." After unemployment data was accumulated, the debaters ' next step was to compile the most recent and accurate statistics for a more thorough preparation for the debating season. This program was initiated by Miss Charlotte Lord, former advisor of the Society, who is presently preparing her doctoral thesis at the University of Pennsylvania. :l~:1~~J.:!t Two faculty members have already spoken to the group.

SG Sponsors Day Student Seminar; Miller Plans CS C by Mary Quinn Recently, great interest has been shown in the organization of a Commuting Student Council, (C.S.C.) , analogous to the Inter-Dormitory Council (I.D.C.) . The Student Government is now in the process of encouraging this long-desired function via an open Seminar to be held next week. The purpose of inviting commuting students to this meeting is twofold: to assemble ideas concerning the organization of this Council, and to determine whether the student body is willing to earnestly come forward to support it. On the individual level, one example of the enthusiasm being gen, crated for this council is the mimeographed, three-page Bier written by Barry Miller, a sophomore commuting student. Miller has set up a detailed plan for a hypothetical C.S.C. to fulfill his defined purpose of ... "enabling the day students to establish closer contact with the affairs of the College . . . and to give them a more direct voice in the activities of the Student Government . . . " Miller's s u g g est ions include a twenty-member Council consisting of representatives from designated geographical districts, headed by a planning board. This board has the duty of speaking for the Council in Student Government meetings, and of distributing bi-weekly reports on their policies, decisions, and current activities. These reports will be made available to all day students through their respective representatives. Both the Student Government and Miller's Bier emphasize the importance of active student participation. The reactions to the circulated Bier and the attendance at next week's seminar are anxiously anticipated by all concerned. value to the debaters. These methods include the use of the local libraries, advice from local officials in unemployment offices, and research teams to work in the library. Dr. Bliss also Compleme~ting this program, the debaters are ·, aFquiring a library that can be used to gather reference material. They now posess 22 books including Baker's Specimens of Argumentation, an example of classical argumentation, and Modem Dd,ate, Its Logic and Strategy by Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, a former faculty member. This library will especially aid the novice debaters, who will aso be coached in certain techniques by varsity debaters. Frankel announced that varsity debaters will begin their debating program at New York University today and tomorrow. The novice debaters, following some preparation in intrasociety debating, will start the season at Temple University tomorrow. He remarked that anyone interested in debating should contact him at Warner Hall. Officers of the Society are: Ephraim Frankel, president; Andrew Thorburn, vice-president; Mark Hamdi, treasurer; and Edith Aurelia, secretary. by Barbara Simms . .. Heavy voting and large winning pluralities marked the recent election of freshman class officers. Ned Williams defeated three opponents by a landslide to be elected president. His vice-president is France Olexy, who won over four opponents by a large plurality. The race for class secretary was narrowly won by Maureen Flanley, who squeaked past second-place Sheryl Napoleon by sixteen votes. Basil Russin was victorious by a wide margin in the contest for the office of treasurer. Of thirteen students who competed, Jaqui Rubiq, .,J udy Simonson, Matt Fliss. and Joe Ki'der were elected Student Government representatives.

Vujica, Philosophy-Religion Department In response to the editors' invitation to take part in the Beacon's panel on moralitY., I shall limit myself entirely to commenting on the idea that 'a system of morality can be derived by the use of the scientific method" (which is the way the Beacon has summarized the thesis of Wolfgang Kohler's book The Place of Value in a World of Fact). This view is but a logical extension of a broader philosophical outlook which is sometimes called scientism and may be defined a~ :the tendency to think of man in merely scientific terms and to apply exclusively scientific solutions to man's problems. Friday, December 4, 1964 Who Is John Galt? Dear Editor: It was an interesting discovery for me to pick up last week's Beacon and find that I had composed .. Why Not Socialism" in a state of absolute hysteria. It seems to me, however, that the author of .. Why Not Camelot" hurled a great many insults without making a strong criticism of what was set forth in my letter. I would like to expand upon some of the points which the author questioned as having any validity. I stated, .. Socialism has been a failure wherever it h3s been tried." Miss Utopia contends that a more ridiculous statement could not have been formulated. At first glance one might accept such a criticism, but let's you and I look more closely at this one point. The largest single obstacle to the success of the planned economy has been the lack of foresight of a few planners in planning for a large country. A perfect case in point is Sweden, which has a successful socialistic economy. But her very success has been due to the fact that she is able, as a small country, to concentrate on certajp. major industries and import the necessities she does not produce. Size is of vital importance when discussing the over-all planning of the economy. The larg~r the country the more difficult it seems to have been to anticipate and plan for the diverse needs of the people who are spread across many temperate and time zones. My remarks are not intended to either attack or defend Mismanagement Problem this position, but rather to point out some fairly obvious difficulties and hazards inherent in any attempt to derive morality Goin!l from one extreme to the other, we look at Russia and Red China. Both are suffering from mismanagefrom science. ment of their economies. Illustrative of the problems in their entire systems are their farm problems.

The basic TO THEE BOWS THE PRESIDENT Should we cultivate the spirit of independence and rugged individualism, as we were urged to do in the recent political campaign, or should we develop the attitudes of cooperation and compassionate concern for our fellow man? Should we strive for the Nietzschean ideal of a "master-morality" by encouraging the strollg and the fit, or should we strive for a society which protects the weak and the unfit? Should we condition our youngsters so that they would be incapable of feeling any compunction about herding into gas chambers men, women, and children of another race? Should we inculcate into our young people the ideal of a Komsomol youth who d.oes not hesitate to denounce to the police his own father and mother for their "reactionary" behavior? Alas, on all these questions science and the scientific method are silent, and the silence, as the phrase goes, is deafening. The German rocket scientists worked first for Hitler and his ideal of a great society; later, following their capture, they worked with equal abandon for Stalin's dictatorship and for our own democracy. Is there any reason to assume that behavioral scientists would not serve the purpose of whatever individual or group happens to have the power? Society must guard against an ever-present danger that some scientists will put loyalty to their profession above all other other loyalities. The temptation to advance one's own science at whatever cost is very great. If this sounds too pessimistic, just remember again that German physicians performed experiments with inmates of concentration camps - the kind of which we would hesitate to perform with animals. than a hundred of our students. It is only possible to render such an outstanding performance when students support their directors without stint. Through this letter, I wish to express to all who participated in the performance ~ on the stage or behind the scenes ~ my warm appreciation of their work. All that they did was a credit to them and to their College. Sincerely yours, Eugene Farley President Miss Utopia has indicated in her letter that "pure capitalism is not the way to peace." Miss Utopia may not have noticed, but in the last 60 years the United States has been a long way from a pure capitalistic system.

On behalf of the students, faculty, and administration of the College, the BEACON offers its sympathy to Mr. Paul (By the way, the Communists have been saying Utopia is just around the Bedford. Add to the above the hazard arising from the reformer's zeal. A reformer's utter absorption in and fascination with his beatific vision of a faultless world makes him singularly insensitiV.e to the evilness of the means. There is no more potentially darigerous individual than a fellow with a savior-complex in his head and a blue-print of a utopia in his pocket. For, as a Chinese sage said more than two thousand years ago, when such a person "acts and finds no response, he rolls up his sleeves to force it on others." Final Point This leads to my final point. The experience with the experiments to achieve a perfect human community on a scientific basis has been far from reassuring. The Marxists take great pride in saying that their system is scientific. In a certain perverse sense scientific ·it assuredly is. The Communists believe that they have the formula of what the good society ought to be, and after gaining power, characteristically by force, not by persuasion, they proceed with the laboratory testing of its validity and do it with an impersonal. scientific cold-bloodedness, with all value judgments such as right or wrong, and all sentiments, all sentimentalities left out. If a few million human beings must be liquidated, because they oppose the experiment, it is too bad. "One cannot make omelets without breaking eggs," was a favorite proverb of Stalin. Those who survive, the human guinea pigs in this experiment in human engineering, must be kept under complete control. which, after all, is another requirement of the scientific method. The secret police and the government propagandists, versed in the techniques of conditioning and brainwashing, are assigned the task of seeing to it that the conditions of a controlled experiment are maintained until men become automatically happy and incapable of anti-social behavior. point that the example served was to point out that not only can the Average American afford to travel in a car (it might be interesting to point out that, while in England, I witnessed 10,000 Southampton dockyard workers leave work in the pouring rain on foot and on bicycle), but that the Average American has been afforded a material well-being higher than anything in the history of man, including not only consumer. goods, but medical facilities and thf like as well. I do not intend to hide th.f squalor and unemployment that exists as a result of our semi-capitalistic sys(e'fl, It exists, and to a larger degree than most people like to admit. But we hc1ve come a long way since The Jungle about which Upton Sinclair wrote, and this progress has not been due to government intervention alone. It would take a person blind to society to say that we are the only system suffering from this malady of technical unemployment; Russia in particular is suffering to a greater degree from this same problem.

Not to mention the legions of tµose who die of undernourishment and tuberculosis in coal ·and quick-silver mines, rice fields and cotton plantations, No one takes any notion of them; nobody asks why and what for; but if we shoot a few thousand objectively harmful people, the humanitarians all over the world foam at the mouth. Yes, we liquidated the parasitic part of the peasantry and let it die of starvation.

And we shrink from sacrificing a few hundred thousand corner from their system for every one of the last 30 years) I must ask you, the reader, to let your imagination run wild for a few moments and visualize Utopia College which is just up the Susquehanna a way. It is here that every student receives a grade of C in every course regardless of his effort or extent of knowledge of the subject, and after four glorious years everyone graduates together. Being very realistic in the middle of this dream, ask yourself how many people would study diligently without the incentive of grades. Honestly now, would you, if no matter what you did you got a C? And, my attentive reader, this is no different than the Utopia suggested by last week's author. If she were to take the profit incentive out of the capitalistic system, she would have very few people making the effort to keep the society going. This is just what Kosygin and Brezhnev have found in Russia. Let's face it. Ugly as it may seem, the profit motive has made the U.S. what it is today.

In the years following his graduation, Mr. Wallison has pursued various fields. After serving two years in the United States Air Force, he applied for the C.I.A. in 1954. Checking and clearing ' pf applicants takes at least six montbs, and "while awaiting the completion of this process, I began a fifth year at Wilkes to earn teacher certification. When I was accepted as a technical writer, I was engrossed in school and I decided to remain to receive my certification." After teaching in New York for two years Mr. Wallison returned to this area in 1957. He taught public speaking at Kingston High School until 1962. During his years at Kingston High, he was affiliated on a part-time basis with radio stations WNAK, WILK, and WEJL. In addition, Mr. Wallison received his master's degree in political science from Bucknell University in 1960. In 1962, he began working full time in the announcing and promotion departments of radio WEJL in Scranton, where he remained until August, 1964, when he returned to the College. When asked why he became interested in public relations, he said, "Just dealing with the public is a fas~ AAd Ql itself, · in that the public is made up of just so many individuals, each of which is fascinating in hrs own right." On his opinion of the College, he stated, "The element with which I am most impressed is the feeling of cooperation which tends to permeate the thinking of all at the College. And I believe this is as it should be, in that we are all working toward a common goal." Mr. Wallison prepared this statement concerning the functions of public relations: " If we may be allowed to utilize the Beacon as a messenger of sorts, we would direct a few words to the student body. "The main function of the Public Relations Office is communication with the public. This is accomplished primarily via the area newspapers, radio and television stations. c~aqo~ Edward Wallison '"As anyone would admit, effective communication calls for effective coordination and dissemination of the information and news involved. This is not possible if students take it upon themselves to attempt communication with the public on their own terms, whether individually, or as a representative of a student organization. Surely there is a good reason to avoid such action; it is in direct conflict with College policy, violates the protocol expected by news media, and can lead to unnecessary duplication and complication. "We would therefore ask that any student contact with the public that will carry the name 'Wilkes' along with it, whatever the reason and media involved, first be cleared through the Public Relations Office. Mrs. Fritz and I are more than willing, at any time, to offer our cooperation to any student or student organization, and hope that this feeling will be reciprocal." Mr. Wallison, in his spare time, enjoys billiards. ··1 have been known to wield an effective cue," he said with a laugh. When asked his opinion of woman 's invasion into the male sanctuary, the pool hall, he smiled and said, "I find the idea a very tasteful one because it will surely tend to change the attitude of the masses toward what is a very enjoyable and relaxing activity. Either this will be the case, or we shall end up with some rather hardened and calloused young ladies." Another of his hobbies is woodworking. Even while in the college preparatory course in high school, he took at least one shop course every year. ··1 found it personally .satisfying to create things by hand while being constantly involved with things of an academic nature. I find woodwork very fascinating. The creation of a French inlaid lamp of black walnut and white maple, which I made one time, is a challenge in one sense of the word, as would be the effective completion of an article in another." •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WILKES STUDENTS! • LIBRARY CAREERS offer excellent salaries • lo~l - national and ·world-wide placement opportunities • professional employment SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5th AT THE STARFIRE ROOM 150 SOUTH MAIN STREET The Fabulous "Walking in the Sand" - WJLKES-BARRE SHANGRI - LAS "Leader of the Pack" Music by THE STARFIRES DANCING 8 to 11 p.m. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 3 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS REX CATALDO Chuck Robbins Razor Hair Cutting SPORTING GOODS STERLING BARBER SERVICE H•irpiec.. for Men - Wig• for Women Colognes - Perfumes - Cosmetics Ready to serve you with a complete line of Sweaters, STERLING HOTEL Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods. 9 E.

The last'two weeks have produced the major upsets of the year. Nebraska 's 17-game winning streak was stopped by Oklahoma , and Army broke the spell Navy held over them. The biggest upset of the year occurred as the bubble over Notre Dame burst when an inspired Southern California came from behind to edge the " Fighting Irish." Despite the loss, I feel Notre Dame still has the best team in the country. They play the toughest schedule of any team in the nation. They have no breather games, as many of the major college teams do. Alabama and Arkansas have good teams, but their schedules are somewhat softer than that of Notre Dame. Here is the final "Top Ten": Notre Dame Alabama Arkansas Texas 5. Michigan 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. Nebraska 7. Oregon St. 8. OhioSt. 9. Princeton 10. Tulsa Finding Tulsa and Princeton in the "Top Ten" may be surprismg to some, but not if one takes a look at the records. Tulsa has Jerry Rhome. who has set over 13 new college passing records and Howard Twilley, who has se t a pass catching record , in addition to being one of the top scorers in the country. Princeton was undefeated, has one of the finest coaches in the country, and has the best fullback around in Cosmo lacavazzi. As the season ended, my record was 149 right and 54 wrong or a .733 percentage1 Since beginning my predictions last season. I have compiled an over-all record of 238 right and 87 wrong for a .732 percentage. I piJk Ara Parseghian as Coach of the Year for his bringing the Irish of Notre Dame back into prominence as a major football power. He took Notre Dame from a 2-8 record to a 9- 1 record and turned unknown players into great stars. With Ara at the helm , the Irish will be experiencing greatness for some time. Ted Travis-Bey Dale Edwards Bob Eurich The Beacon has selected Ted Travis-Bey, Dale Edwards and Bob Eurich as standouts from the fall sports season. Travis-Bey, while seeing little running action as the Colonels blocking back, managed to compile impressive statistics in other departments to gain the nod as Outstanding Back from the football team. Travis-Bey gained 208 yards on 11 passes, registered Wilkes' only aerial touchdown, rushed for 197 yards with a 4.5 average, returned 9 kick-offs for 230 yards and a 25.6 average, and compiled 14 points for the season. Currently, Travis-Bey is a resident at Butler Hall with his home residence in Phoenixville, Pa. He is a senior accounting major. Edwards, the Outstanding Lineman, has been a consistent performer all season at his guard position. He is a native of Wilkes-Barre and a senior in secondary education. Such an ob- vious stand-out made this selection comparatively easy. -~~ WRESTLERS AND Wr,stling Schedule •••••••••••••••••••••••• SONNY HARRY 5CAGERS TO PLAY D ec.

Huarte won the Heisman Trophy and was the main cog in the potent Irish offensive attack with his fine passing and daring running. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• Headquarters for Lettered WILKES JACKETS BROOKS BARBER SHOP ht Floor Blue Cross Bldg., WILKES-BARRE Alfred A .

These interesting plants live in soil which is deficient in nitrogen. Thus, they are forced to trap insects to replenish their supply. The plant dissolves the enzymes of their victims to obtain the nitrogen and opens when it has the necessary amount, releasing the dead insects to the mercy of the wind or rain. The flytraps are surprisingly strong. In fact, Mr. De Young had one of the plants in the terrarium at the time a chameleon was in it, and when the chameleon got his foot caught in the plant, he found that the only way of setting the chameleon free was to sever the plant. Needless to say, he no longer keeps a flytrap in the terrarium. by Nancy Leland Transported into a world which is a combination of both the Orient and the jungle, one finds an assortment of curiosities in the office of Robert DeYoung and Dr. You-King Chiang. Most of the "curiosities" are for the amusement of the room's inhabitants. - Both Dr. Chiang and Mr. DeYoung find their electric samovar useful when they or their visitors become thirsty; one of them makes enough hot tea in the samovar each morning to last the entire day. A gift to the office from Dr. Chiang, the samovar is of white China, and is complemented by several ornamented cups and saucers. Further investigation reveals two large tanks - one a terrarium, the other an aquarium. In the terrarium lives McTavish, a pet iguana, and his friend, a salamander. McTavish is more outgoing than the salamander, who hides among the rocks and can seldom be seen. The iguana is about three or four inches long, his tail consuming most of its length, and is a vivid chartreuse color. Recently the inhabitants had a weekend visitor, Anatole the tortoise. Anatole, a Frenchman, added a European air to the room. Knight of the iguana. Turning from McTavish to the aquarium, one can see four innocentlooking fish , which on closer inspection turn out to be piranha. The fearless Mr. De Young feeds the piranha their every-other-day-meal, usually of gizzards, liver, chicken hearts, or some other delicacy, by hand. By so doing, he remarked, the fish are tamed. The largest of the four, a dark fish, seemed the hungriest and thus the friendliest, taking the bits of meat from Mr. D eYoung's fingertips. They seldom bite hard. On the walls of the room are several maps and paintings. The maps are of the USSR, China, Burma, and India with some of the paintings corresponding to them. One painting of a Bengal officer, white-bearded and resplendent in a colorful turban, is done on black velvet and framed in gold. Two others are of vicious Indian warriors done by Jan Pethick, an art major. Completing the collection is a country scene given to Mr. De Young by friends. The walls on one side of the room are lined with books, mostly on economic theory since both professors are in the economics department. The two windows in the office reveal a view of the Market Street Bridge and River Street. Makes A Point In some of Mr. DeYoung's classes, he finds it helpful to use pointers for involved maps, charts, and graphs. He began cqllecting walking sticks when he reali%(ld that using different pointers for ·each subject made it easier to determine what he was discussing. Since then he has acquired many different kinds of pointers, among them one which was carved by a German prisoner of war in the African corps. Nearly all the pointers have an interesting background. One, a simple bamboo cane, has a silver head which unscrews to produce a fishing pole; another, invented for a thirsty owner, encases a long, narrow flask, which could hold liquids of any kind; yet another is an elegant mahogany stick, used by some dapper gentleman 50 or 60 years ago. Other walking sticks are of thornwood and birch and have been acquired through friends and students.

The tournament, held on the Heights Campus of New York University, was a two-day contest with two rounds on Friday and three on Saturday. The topic of debate was, Resolved: That the Federal Government Should Establish a National Program of Public Work for the Unemployed. For this topic, the debaters contacted the governors and the attorney general of the 50 states. The affirmative team, consisting of Al Airola and Andrew Thorburn, scored a decisive victory over Yale University on the first round. Regarding the victory, Airola stated, "It's a wonderful experience to defeat a school with a record of such excellence." The team also downed Harpur College during the competition. The negative team, consisting of Mark Hamdi and Ephraim Frankel, defeated the City College of New York, making it a record of three wins and seven losses. The teams participating included Dartmouth, Georgetown, the University of Vermont, the University of Niagara, the University of Pennsylvania, Pace College, City College of New York, and Yale University. OBOIST'S ARTICLES ON FRICSAY APPEAR; MENC PLANS TRIP by Carol Okrasinski Oboist Laila Storch, wife of Professor Martin Friedmann, has contributed to a recent publication about the internationally known conductor, Frenic Fricsay, who died earlier this month. Miss Storch was asked to write on Fricsay's experiences in the United States. During his brief appearances in this country in the 1953 and 1954 seasons, Miss Storch was first oboist in the Houston Symphony Orchestra and sa.w Mr. Fricsay in person there. Severlif plctures from Miss Storch's personal collection also appear in the book. Miss Storch wrote her articles in German, having first learned that language during her several years in Austria on a Fulbright Fellowship, and more recently having continued her interest through further study in the College's language department under the direction of Professor Elwood Disque.

THE CELLAR 000 R On alternative Wednesday evenings, the rectory of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church on South Franklin Street becomes a theatre, coffee house and open forum as townspeople and students from neighboring colleges meet to discuss issues of current importance. Movies, plays and talks are presented, followed by a general discussion of the central theme of the work, during which coffee and refreshments are served. The program so far has included Vittorio de Sica's film , Umberto D, A Study in Color, three plays dealing with race relations by Malcolm Boyd, the films Children of Hiroshima, and David and Lisa, the Bishop 's Company doing extracts from George Bernard Shaw's St. Joan, an:! Fred McKirachan's report on the Mississippi Summer Project. The program for January_ is as yet uncertain, but in February the College Coffee House will show four films by the famed Ingmar Bergman, Virgin Spring, Winter Light, The Seventh Seal, and Through a Glass, Darkly. The idea for the Coffee House was first conceived by the clergy of several city churches in answer to the question, "What should the church provide for the college community?" The Coffee House, which is non-denominational, was set up as a joint effort by many churches in the area. The purpose is not merely to provide entertainment of a high calibre, although it certainly fills that need, but to expose students to the basic issues of their era, and to provide the climate for discussion necessary to intellectual growth. According to Rev. Burke Rivers of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, the Coffee House "attempts indoctrination in nothing except that issues of this nature are important enough to be looked at in depth .. . in dialogue" - that the issues involved are worth time and argument because they are basic, "and For approximately sixty students, therefore, religious". The Coffee House, by opening its doors to everyone in the area, also prolast Wednesday marked the end of the an opportunity for students from neighbring colleges, such as Wilkes student teaching period.

STUDENT TEACHING ENDS; Teachers Become Students " ... your hungered masses yearning to be free . . . " by Helen Dugan and Bill Kanyuck "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; . . . " For proof of this, one must only venture to 369½ South Main Street. At 6 p.m. the Cellar Door is opened for business. Thus begins the prologue. The characters of this part are not as dedicated to their presentation as are those cast in the crescendo portion of the mighty performances. These early e~trees are the completely-bored-with-no-place-to-rest type. They are few in n4qiber and care more about relaxation than about their roles. They are contept to stay in their class and not give competition to the more highly organized ·actors of later curtains. But these slow-paced individuals are soon to be pushed from the stage, for the night is upon us. As night comes so do the guitars, the quarter admissions, and the special actors of the night. These actors do not take their characterizations as lightly as did their predecessors. Each 'special actor' must characterize more dramatically - yet appear to be disinterested - because if he slackens for a minute another actor might rise in his place. There is no audience as such, since no one merely watches. Each person chooses a conforming role and becomes another actor. Therefore, one must be sure to meet all requirements of his role. The requirements to be filled can be divided into a costume and custom - both being equally important. By now the comforming costume is widely recognized. One must wear a solid-color shaker, preferably navy or maroon, over a pin-striped shirt. He must don blue-jeans and loafers. Without these symbols, he can't possibly be considered an actor in the 'in' group. But while he strives for the 'in' group in costume, he must venture for the 'out' group of custom. He must at all times be in a private solitude, showing the other actors his disconcern with life. Thus our actors must be schizophrenic along with their other talents. But there is a final characteristic which plays a major part. It is the age group. Although our particular Cellar Door actors are all high school students, they mus~ impress upon one another the idea of the true collegian. . Tranquility can come after the last player has left. The stage is then quiet, but in a short time it will stage another opening night, and the actors will come alive once more. Commons Hosts Christmas Porty Today's Morality Needs Today's Yardsticks W. H. Bliss, Associate History Department Professor, As the third contributor to this series of articles in the Beacon, I have an unfair advantage somewhat analogous to the first rebuttal speaker in a debate. (Note that the word " unfair" carries some moral value but is of no scientific significance.) The title of this discussion or debate, adopted and adapted from Wolfgang Kohler's lectures delivered in the William James lectures delivered at Harvard University in the fall of 1934, seems to call for a brief historical foreword. Professors Kohler, Kafka and Wertheimer, the founding fathers of "Gestalt psychology", belong to a small minority of thinkers and writers, who, following the general methods of Sigmund Freud, tried to introduce some scientific order into the theories concerning man's behaviour and motivation. German writers often have a passion (I would say almost an obsession) for "order"; 'Alles musz in Ordnung sein" has become the national anthem of the Teutonic intellectual. No serious historian objects to attempts to introduce some order or pattern into the human events of the past. The dangers, sometimes great dangers , arise when people, especially s o 1 d i e r s and politicians, try to FORCE THE FUTURE INTO AN ORDER MOLDED BY SCIENTIFIC THEORIES BASED ON THE PAST. Preachers and teachers often join in this folly ; they interpret the past in order to direct the future. Yardsticks Required Both the disciplines of Science and of Morality require yardsticks, each discipline using its own intervals or divisions and definitions. Science TODAY measures facts in highly complex terms such as wave lengths, dynes and neutrons. YESTERDAY morality measured itself in romantic terms of devils and angels. But science five thousand years ago was a motley collection of superstitions. Morality TOMORROW may be based on a proper understanding of tolerance, and an honest belief in the value of Difference. D.V. Tomorrow's morality may truly accept not only that black, brown and yellow skin pigmentation should be treated justly, but that it is part of the wonder and the glory of this world of ours that we have these differences here. A country where only roses are allowed to grow, even the most beautiful big white roses, is still, Borally, a poor country. The world of facts todaY. is of absorbing interest to the sc(entists and moralists when they ar€ ckaling their cards. Remember that'· yqu · very seldom see them shuffled and that it is usually "dealer's choice·: when it comes to fixing the rules. It always was this way, even in my day, and the best way to win is to learn the rules the way they are. Then, if you still want to, you can modify them or change some of them to suit you and your times. No great scientist ever made a great discovery without first learning about the then existing so-called facts. No man ever had a great idea about moral values without first living with, and under, the morality of this day.

Although it was devoid of spoken words, the film was amply supplied with sounds: an oar dipping into the sea, a footstep on a hill. In spite of the unusual technique used , the film successfully presents the moving story of a Japanese family who lives on an island . The husband and wife , along with their two sons, work hard to eke out a living from a dried-up hillside. But hard work proved to be no preventative against sadness, for tragedy, in the form of death , strikes their oldest son. The epitome of the difficult life these peasants must bear is most apparent when both parents, although griefstricken by the sudden loss of their son, must carry his coffin to its grave and cover it with earth. Island, to the surprise of many , proved that words are not necessary to communicate with an audience. The faces of the players caused the viewer to know what the character was thinking at any given moment. Just a single look at the wife 's face and one knew , and felt, the exasperation she felt at the loss of her son. And only a moment's glance at the husband's face when his wife drops a bucket of water lets the audience know immediately that he is angry and will strike her for her carelessness. These expressive faces, coupled with occasional sounds of work told a complete and enjoyable story. The fact that the characters had no names , and needed no names, added to the picture's symbolism.

TOR, JAYCEES STAGE CHRISTMAS EVENTS ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• GIFT Friday, December 11, 1964 Mrs. Bosch, New English Teacher, Prefers Teaching College Students by Barbara Simms Class meetings were held yesterday at 11 a.m. Under the new Student Government policy, both written and oral reports of all class meetings will be given to Student Government. Attending the senior class meeting was a representative from the Metropolitan Insurance Company who spoke to the seniors about the possibility of a Wilkes Endowment Plan in connection yvith the class gift. A committee has been appointed by President Ed Comstock to look into the material suggested in the plan. The endowment plan is only one of a number of possibilities for the class gift. Other committees will report on their findings on the topic at a later date. On Wednesday, December 16, from 9-4 p.m. the annual class bake sale will be held in the cafeteria by the seniors. The bake sale committee, headed by chairwoman Jodie Morrison, consists of volunteers from the class. Included in future class plans is the senior sponsorship of the Donkey Basketball game, scheduled for March 12. The juniors discussed profits from the recent dinner-dance, and miscellaneous future plans. This class has no definite plans in the offing. The main business on the sophomore class agenda was the selection of the band for the forthcoming dance on January 8, 1965. The sophomores promise to present a sensational group, or to quote President Ed Pashinski, " .. . a novelty group rather than a plain ordinary band." The sophomores, who reported a successful hayride, are also planning an ice skating party and a class car wash. Tickets for the latter may be purchased from the 3-Minute Car Wash at a reduced rate of $1.25 rather than the usual $1.50. The class will receive a commission on the sales, md, as the tickets are good all year, Greek mythology, acting, and the Sunday Times crossword puzzle are all interests of Mrs. Thelma Bosch, new English teacher at the College. A native of this area, she and her family reside in Kingston. Prior to coming to the College, Mrs. Bosch taught Latin at Wyoming and Kington High Schools. Her approach to arousing the interest of her first-year language students was to teach them Greek and Latin mythology. She said that mythology ls often used today in literature and drama. She stated, "Modern playwrights often base their plays on Greek mythology." As an example, she cited My Fair Lady, which was based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, which was in turn based upon the story of Pygmalion in mythology. they would not be wasted on a car that is clean now. At the freshman class meeting the newly elected officers were introduced by Don Ungemah and a class constitution was formulated. A list for recruiting executive council members has been posted on the bulletin board at the Commons. Interested freshmen may sign it over the weekend. President Ned Williams asked for moneyraising suggestions, since the freshman treasury balances at zero. The freshman class dance, which will be held in March, was also discussed. •. -.. .. . ·' ' • .. • • •. . •. ... . ·•v.1~ft..1p,tt-r,~ If I J "------ • .• ..• •• . Mrs. Bosch, after her graduation from Wyoming Seminary, attended Penn State University where she received her B.A. in English. Mrs. Bosch and her family lived in Florida a few years ago. She said, "I found that Floridians do not seem to have the roots that people do in this area. Here, people are more interested in what their children are doing. In Florida, for instance, adults lead completely different lives from their children. There isn't a close rapport between adolescents and parents. There is a feeling of permanence here that is not found there." Mrs. Bosch's other activities include chairman of the Community Chest Drive and the Cancer Drive for the Wyoming area in past years . • . Thelma Bosch Commenting further on this subject, she said, "I like Wyoming Valley very much. We have more cultural opportunities here in comparison with many other areas. In addition, we have New York City not far away." . "• When asked her reason for coming to the College from Kingston High School, she replied, "I've always enjoyed teaching older students. I like the stud_ents' attitude. Having taught both in· f:iigh school and in college, I find that the students mature immeasurably in the short time between high school graduation and their entrance into college." Mrs. Bosch is a member of the Wilkes-Barre Little Theatre and Showplace Theatre, a new drama group organized by the members of Little Theatre. She is also active in the Drama Guild at the Jewish Community Center and has directed several plays there in the past. She has played the leads in local productions of Pajama Game, Hatful of Rain, and Watch on the Rhine. .. •.•• Although she sometimes takes two or three days to complete them, Mrs. Bosch enjoys working the Sunday Times crossword puzzle each week.

Freshman Jim Smith tossed in 13 points in that game for the team high. Ithaca' . beat the Colonels 77-54 in a frustr;jting game. Wilkes played on even terms throughout the first period, but succumbed to the Bombers in the second stanza and never regained their early lead. Jim Smith was high with 21 points and Dale Nicholson played well defensively. Joe Chanecka was second in scoring with 13 points. The Scranton University Royals dumped the Colonels 88-55 on Monday. Scranton took an early lead and the halftime score was 42-30, Scranton leading. The Royals continued their attack in the second half, as four players ended in double figures. Jim Smith and Lee Obrzut paced the Colonels with 18 points each. Wilkes lacks height once again this season and is unable to gain rebounds under the basket to get a much needed second shot. The Colonels will have to find a counter to this weak spot to bolster their scoring attack.

George ~aJston, dean of men, has once again peen named general chairman of the tournament and will be assisted by Joan Borowski, John Reese and Arthur Hoover. by Wayne Bloomburg The Wilkes Open •is the largest tourney of its kind and has gained world-acclaim, including coverage by Sports Illustrated, which dubbed the tournament the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling." The "Rose Bowl of Wrestling"' began as a wrestling tournament for high schools and colleges alike and was first held at the Y .M.C.A. However, due to the rapid increase in popularity and sharpening of the competition, most of the present entries are from colleges, universities and athletic clubs. The tournament not only serves to pit the nation 's top wrestlers in two days of mat action as a proving ground for the Olympic team, but also trai11s officials for the college circuit. The most coveted award of the Wilkes Open is the Bruce Blackman Trophy, which is presented to the outstanding wrestler on a vote of Wilkes Open Committee -1. to r. Arthur Hoover, JoanBorowski, George Ralston (chairman) and John Reese. officials and coaches. The award is given in honor of a former sports editor of the Wilkes--Barre Times Leader Evening News.

Juniata has six returning lettermen and bases its attack on rebounding, speed and multiple defensive tactics. Last Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5, the Wilkes matmen wrestled in a tri -meet with the U.S. Military Academy and Rochester Institute of Technology at West Point, New York. The Colonels defeated R.I.T. 35-0, only to lose to Army 20-8. Although the Colonels lost, there is an indication of great things to come. Five of the eight starters are freshmen , with Bill Tinney, a sophomore, Dave Hall, a sophomore, and Ned McGinley, a senior, the only upper classmen among the varsity. Backed by a J.V. team of five fresh men, one sophomore, and one senior, the Colonels should be a team difficult to defeat. GYMNASTS HERE Dickinson rolled over Wilkes 68-52 last season and ended conference play in that season with a 10-5 record. Dickinson has a new coach, Edward Ashnault, and a holdover team to make them a prime contender for Middle Atlantic Conference honors. Dickinson stresses a running game with zone ·defense and tends to use the press frequ ently.

The nomination and the certificate of recognition given by the national organization honor students for their outstanding contributions to the College and to themselves. By maintaining at least a "2" average, these leaders of the class of '65 exhibit their awareness of the primary purpose of attending college. These students also gain important employment contacts through their nomination. The organization sponsoring the publication maintains a student placement service through which the student can receive recommendations in the future on the basis of the biographical information with which they supply the service. In order to list only the exceptional students in their publication, the organization sets a quota for each school on its total enrollment. In the Fall, each department receives a request for nominees for Who's Who. On the basis of their knowledge of the students, the teachers suggest several names. These names are then sent to Dean Ralston who heads a group of seven administration and department head members. This group narrows the list and makes the final decision on the nominees of the College. -1. Student Governmenl officers met recently with representatives of the Economics Club and Women's Chorus to discuss several complaints, which had been issued by the students, concerning the dance which the clubs had co-sponsored. Miss DeAngelis asked the club representatives to explain their irregular actions, which, while not violating the Student Government rules, appeared to be less than the correct form of action. These complaints were answered and clarified by the persons responsible for the slight improperieties, to the satisfaction of those present.

"Have to tell you about old Rudolph , though," he said, picking up his story. "We don't really need him anymore for guiding the sleigh. We've had headlights installed on it.

In the distant future, Santa would like to " really go big and consolidate with the Easter Bunny and the Great Pumpkin. Might as well go all the way, y'know."

In last week's editorial, I (because Miss DeAngelis' letter is directed personally to me, I shall drop the editorial "we" and continue in the same "personal" vein) was neither feigning ig, norance noF capitalizing on the "power" of mr position. Of course I had received answers to some queries made in per, sonal interviews - I don't claim to be charismatic or to have A PRIORI knowledge about such affairs. My duty was then to present the complete situation as I had it given to me to the student body because I did not feel that the answers received in private contacts were exactly satisfactory. It is the prime concern of every reporter to present first what information he has received to the public. It is the prime concern of every editorialist to study this information and then to judge it. I feel that I have accomplished these two tasks. I likewise feel that Miss DeAngelis' letter is in no way the solution to the situation. She states that no one was "badgered" into postponing the movie. Yet, in discussing the whole affair with the two SG mem, hers I had contacted, and in a discussion with Ed Lipinski, who had come to the BEACON office to talk about the second show, ing, I frequently heard that Miss DeAngelis was "bothered" by the members of the Economics Club to call the s·e cond showing off. When a "bother" lasts from Monday - when the Econ, omics Club petitioned SG to postpone the show - to Thursday - when Miss DeAngelis postponed the movie, I call it a "bad, ger." Miss DeAngelis refers to a few "adjustment pains" that had to be made when the MANUSCRIPT movies were moved from the gym back to Stark 116. One can only guess at the amount of pain,killer that would have been needed if the place had not been changed. Watching a Japanese art film to the tune of the saving remnant that appeared for the Economics Club dance is not my idea of acting "in the BEST interest of the MOST stu, dents' • Perhaps a little calendar checking is in order? I would like to know where Miss DeAngelis received the information that only "eight" students attended the 9:30 p.m. movie, I distinctly remember counting twenty,seven students, Dr. and Mrs. Farley, plus the MANUSCRIPT crew needed to run the show. I suggest Miss DeAngelis check the source of her in, formation and compare it to that presented by those who attend, ed. In speaking to a number of students who attended the dance, I discovered that not only were high school boys and College men allowed to enter without wearing sports jackets, but also that high school girls, unescorted by college students, were allowed to en:ter wearing slacks. WHO is responsible for enforcing the rules, the clubs who are interested solely in Mak, ing Money, or SG, our governing body? As to the broad statement made by Miss DeAngelis in reference to my "three consecutive years of non,attendance at a Wilkes dance", I need only point out one irony. Last year, I wrote an editorial supporting the Economics Club for bringing in an outside band. I was happy to note, at the dance, that my editorial and the "outside" band were both effective. If Miss DeAngelis bothered to check her statement with anyone else's and still did not uncover the truth, I can only assume that her source was just another mere nationalistic prophet. In conclu, sion to this paragraph, may I refer all interested students to the editorial page of the Nov. 19 BEACON: "Dances, hayrides, and sports events are for those who are interested in dances, hay, rides, and sports events," et al. I further suggest that Miss DeAngelis reread last week's editorial concerning my contacting College Misericordia. The dean of women informed me that she had discovered that the dance at King's was not cancelled. I likewise did not state that the dean was told of the cancellation. I said "they," meaning the campus at large. As to my authority in contacting College Misericordia at all - I consider it my duty as a reporter to verify all information that I receive. Rather than rely on nationalistic prophets, I pre, fer going directly to the source. The actions of the Economics Club may have been ex, plained away to the satisfaction 0£ SG. That the club did not honor the Student Body with any explanation speaks for itself. Perhaps the president is still in search of an English major to write a "good" letter. Before returning to my garden, may I suggest that others check whether they are fertilizing Bowers or weeds. A.P. DeAngelis Explains Ber Actions Concerning Manuscript Film and Economics Club Dance Dear Co-editor: May I first make an open statement to the members of Student Government and to all interested students. One of the main points I have ·tried to stress in Student Government matters is that it is virtually impossible to please everyone, and the best precepts to follow are ( 1) consider the source of a complaint and then (2) act only after careful study of the validity of the complaints. I have never knowingly broken the second precept. Lest they fear that I now break the first, allow me to explain: since the answer to every one of Miss Pucilowski's queries was carefully explained to her long before the Beacon we~t to press last week, I can only assume that she feigned ignorance and capitalized on the power of her convenienf position with only the noblest interest of the student body at heart. For this reason I have no other recourse but to comply with Miss Pucilowski's request and explain matters so that she may know that her destiny as Wilkes College's Gadfly is complete. Pay and Enter, Or Dance In The Lobby! Dear Editor: Following the last dance co-sponsored by the Women's Chorus and Economics Club there were many complaints. One s_uch complaint that merits much thought was that many students felt they were overcharged at the door. It could be argued that they had the ultimatum to pay and enter, or to remain in the lobby for the evening. The question that remains is one of principle. In general. is the prime consideration in many of our clubs to gain financially by sponsoring an activity, or is it to work successfully toward an enjoyable evening for the students of Wilkes College? It seems the former is slowly "creeping in" on us. Is material gain overshadowing a purely social reason for many club activities? Advertising of the last dance seems to answer this question in the positive. Perhaps a revitalization of a spiritual nature is needed on campus. At any rate, a change of policy is of urgent necessity. Neither Student Government nor I was "badgered" into postponing the second showing of the Manuscript film. It was only after careful consideration of the request of the Economics Club and Women's Chorus that I consulted with Ed Lipinski, Chairman of the Manuscript films. It was then decided that in the best interest of the most students a second showing of that particular film was not necessary. May I point out that Student Government appropriated funds for twice the number of films this year. Consequently some of the films have to be shown on the same nights that dances are held. The original plan centered on the fact that films were to be shown in the gym on a screen purchased specifically for this purpose. Because students preferred the atmosphere of Stark 116, this plan had to be abandoned resulting in a few adjustment pains. The situation occuring on the Friday night in question is one example of these pains. WIikes College BEACON There is an official policy which states that no high school student may attend a Wilkes affair unescorted by a college student, and that jackets must be worn by all males. These rules are enforced by the club sponsoring the affair under the direction of a Student Government member. Student Government is not a police force and cannot be in every place at all times. However, I am pleased that Miss Pucilowski has suddenly decided to break her record of three consecutive years of non-attendance at a Wilkes dance and decided to join us in our attempts to make all _Wilkes dances fun affairs for the students. Concerning the "blemished appearance of Wilkes College given it by the shoddy actions of a few people", I question the authority of one Alis Pucilowski in representing Wilkes The reason that the two members of College in a call to the Dean of ColStudent Government contacted by lege Misericordia in which the Dean Miss Pucilowski didn't know of the was informed that certain members of Respectfully, Emily Wright decision was because no special meet- our student body had lied about the ing of Student Government had been supposed cancellation of the King 's called.

It is much more apropos than a dorsal type dagger.

Become Outlines Functions ol Board ol Trustees Apathy's Grealesl Toll, LETTERS (Con't.) • Dear Editor: I was quite concerned by the contents of your last week's editorial. I have been student teaching this semester, and thus, not too aware of events on campus. However, that Friday night I attended the Manuscript film; as usual. the second showing was the more convenient for me. The audience numbered roughly thirty. The following week when I read a copy of the Beacon, I found that due to mis-government in the Economics Club and Miss Government in SG I nearly missed seeing the movie. I do not want to believe that Cathy DeAngelis cancelled the showing on the basis of "a random sampling." She would not be "vexed" into ignoring the interests of many; she would not consult a few Attorney Charles B.

Wreaths decorate the outside of the dorms and Commons. Each of the dorms have Christmas trees, many of which can be seen through the windows. An added feature this year is a Christmas tree on the lawn between Chase and Kirby Halls. The Public Relations Office has provided music in the cafeteria. On Tuesday and Wednesday even- ings dorm students exchanged gifts and Santa Claus came to visit. Women dormitory students continued playing "angels" for each other. For seven days each girl received surprises from her anonymous "angel." When pres- ents were exchanged, the "angels" discovered the identity of their "Suzie Snowftakes."' Last Thursday afternon, the men and women from local homes for the aged were feted by the women of T .D. R. at the annual Golden Agers' Party. The Lettermen provided transportation to McClintock Hall. Refreshments, Christmas carols, and Santa Claus created a holiday spirit. The following evening the Letter- ing.

A candle-light dinner for the dormitory students and administration mem- hers was held on Sunday followed by the singing of carols and hymns.

One of the three will be crowned by reigning queen Cathy DeAngelis at the dance in the Inn that evening. by Vicki Tatz Representatives from the Economics Chili and the Women's Chorus were present at the Student Government meeting last Monday night. The inconsistency between the prices of tickets sold before and at the dance on December 4 was discussed. Such a procedure is against the policy of Student Govern• ment, which requires all organizations to submit an activity form for approval. Once a form is approved all the information contained on it, including the admission price, must be adhered to. Both .the Economics Club and Student Government emphasized that the Club's intention was not to take advantage of students, but that the discrepancy was due to an oversight. Since the Economics Club had assumed responsibility for the activity form, it was fined five dollars. Thursday, January 7, a meeting was held to discuss the formation of a Day-Student Council. The eleven students who attended are planning to hold another meeting in Stark 116 on Saturday, January 30, at 2 p.m. All those students who are interested are invited to attend. Graduate Returns To Entertain Student Body In Assembly At a recent assembly Thomas Hrynkiw, pianist, was featured . His program included Bach's Partita #6 in E Minor, Schumann's Fantasia Opus 17, and Ballade #4 by Chopin. He concluded his program with Prokofieff's Concerto #2, accompanied by Stephen Banks, a 1964 Wilkes graduate who is also a student at the Manhattan School of Music. A graduate of the College in 1963, Hrynkiw was awarded a scholarship by the Manhattan School of Music. There he was chosen by Dr. Hugh Ross as the pianist for the professional chorus, Scola Cantorum, and toured with this organization during his first semester. He has studied under Robert Goldsand and is presently in the master class of Dora Soslawski. While at the College Hrynkiw was a student of Anne Liva. When he was a senior, he was the first student at the College to give a recital during an assembly program. He was also the first student to have a record of his senior recital sponsored by the College. While still in his final year, he was chosen to perform Tchaikovski's B Minor Symphony with Leopold Stokowski and the Scranton Philharmonic.

Just as in other areas of endeavor, it is cooperation that determines its fate from the conception. Our golf team is certainly not an exception, for without the cooperation of the members at the lrem Temple Country Club, it would be without a home course. Mr. Welton Farrar, coach of the golf team, informed us that this is the. tenth year that the College has received per, mission t(\ use the lrem Temple Country Club for meets and practice s~ssions. Dr. J. B. Marshall, Greens Chairman at the Country ;Club, along with other members, has not only been generous ' in making the course available to the team, but is· also interested and ~oncerned with its progress. In 1961 the Country Club was the site for the MAC Tourn, ament, in which 23 colleges and 100 golfers participated. Those participating considered it the finest course on which the T ourn, ament had ever been held. The courtesy of club members in turning over their course at that time and in aiding tournament play made both the College and community appear in a most favorable light. Perhaps one of the reasons the College has been fortunate in having the use of the course is that the team members in the past have always been praised for the respect they have for facilities made available to them. Their conduct should set a standard for each of us, because it shows that manly decorum not only makes for better sportsmanship, but also strengthens favorable co~unity relations. J.J.K.

Freshman Selected Miss January by Vicki Tatz As a result of recent occurrences on campus, Student Government has adopted a series of new policies governing student activities. A copy of these changes will be sent to all organization presidents. The policies are as follows: : ( 1) All recognized organizations muiit maintain an account with the College Finance Office, and all financial matters must be handled through this Office. For purposes of comparison and general information, organizations should submit to the Director of Student Activities and Student Government a simplified statement of expenses and income one week after an event and any specific suggestions for improvement of a similar event in the future. (2) For any organization that is granted a date on the college calendar and contracts to use the services of a band or performer(s) , a written con• tract is required. Further, a copy of that contract must be flied with the Director of Student Activities two weeks prior to the scheduled event. (3) A definite policy should be established relative to the procedures and practices to be followed when two organizations sponsor jointly an approved activity prior to that activity; i.e., a standard 50-50 distribution of work, profits, losses, etc. ( 4) All rules included on the activity regulaBright-eyed Irene Norkaitis has been chosen Miss January by the Photo tion sheet will be dealt with under Club.

Mr. DeArment explained that the watch was his grandfather's, and holds a great deal of sentimental value. Lighter moments in his classes, when not discussing Anna Karenina, may be spent disputing the possibility of perfect love, sometimes with the benefit of Mr. DeArment's bedside literature. Ghengis Khan of English Department Sometimes Uses Bedside Literature High School Student Likes College Dances Dear Editors: WIikes College Friday, January 15, 1965 I read in Wilkes College's paper, the Beacon, a couple of weeks ago, where you (A.P.) were mad because high school students came to a Wilkes College dance. Yet the sophomore class president (Ed. P .) advertises a college dance to my friends (high school students as I am. H_e ,did a good job too) . Many of us high school kids came. Mr. DeArment's classes are always pervaded by his dry wit, as certified by his students. He does not, however, limit this wit to his class discussions. Corrected themes often display his unlimited irony. One such theme, a descriptive essay, spoke of a 'friendly' lane with multicolored trees. Mr. DeArment questioned the author of the theme, "Oh, and did the trees say hello?" Whereupon the corrected theme was returned with the answer, "No, their mothers taught them not to I am confused. What is your policy? Does Wilkes College say one thing and do another? speak to strangers." I think that it is time you be honest with yourselves. We high schoolers enjoy your dances, and your organiza. tions ( classes, clubs, Student Government, etc.) want our money. It is time you got rid of any rule which keeps us high schoolers from your dances. Either that or it is time for you to enforce your own rules. W . Smith Warren DeArment Mr. DeArment was born in Burnham, Pennsylvania, near Lewistown. He served two years in the army, where he attained the rank of first lieutenant, the position he now holds in the reserves. During his service he was active in counterintelligence. He and his wife, who was his hometown sweetheart, now reside in Wilkes-Barre with their four-year old daughter. Their home is conveniently located near the College. In spite of his many obligations: family, army, teaching and dissertation, Mr. DeArment finds time to listen to his favorite types of music, swing and progressive jazz. �Friday, January 15, 1965 Page J WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Rose Bowl Concluded; Grapplers Cop 2nd Win Colonel Hopes of Rose Bowl Cagers Continue Losing Season; Champion End as Carr Loses ~::~: s!:~; •r.: ~;~~:~~!~n:!~:;.c}~:::~}i~~-~!~!!.~ Grapp~ers Hand Post 1 0 The Wilkes matmen defeated C.

Her princesses are Marie Persic, a residen t of Sturdevant Hall majoring in psychology, and Lois Petroski, a mathematics major from Ashley. Miss Alfaro was c~owned by former queen Cathy DeAngelis during the intermission of the evening dance held at the Buckhill Falls Inn. She was presented with a dozen long-stemmed roses and a gold pin engraved with her initials. The princesses received silver pins similar to the queen's. Along with the scheduled activities, the cold, supny weather attracted a record crowd of almost 300 students and guests. T~e· snow-covered ground was glazed with ice until the evening, when a fresh snowfall blanketed the area. During the day, the weather, which was perfect for skating, drew a large crowd on the rink. The skiers and sledders were not so fortunate, however; they had to be careful to avoid the steeper slopes because of the hazards involved with the icy conditions. In spite of the potential danger, however, only one major accident, a broken ankle, was reported. After dinner in the main dining room of the Inn, the students watched television in the lounge, played pool or parlor games, or danced to the music of the Carlyles. Miss Alfaro's activities include chairman of the Student Activities Committee, junior counselor for Associated Women Students, president of Slocum Hall, and the President's Student Advisory Committee. Miss Persic is president of Sturdevant Hall , junior counselor for A WS, a member of the Assem bly Committee, the President's Student Advisory Committee, and the girls' hockey team . Miss Petroski is treasurer of the junior class, is a member of the Education Club, served on the Homecoming and Junior-Senior Dinner Dance Committees, and was on the Dean's List three times.

This debate took place during yesterday's assembly and was moderated by Ephraim Frankel, president of the Debating Society, which sponsored the program. The debate featured Dr. William Bliss and Mrs. Ann Kish for the affirmative, and Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Joseph Kanner for the negative. The Society 's purpose in sponsoring the assembly was to generate more student interest in debating itself. A vocal and ballot vote was taken at the assembly to gauge the general opinion of the student body on the topic. A scene of South Seas islands projected on the walls will lend the proper atmosphere for the theme, "Polynesian Paradise··. The profuse use of orchids will further depict the lavish and the exotic. A primitive bridge extended over a pool of orchids will be placed in the center of the ballroom. Orchid centerpieces will decorate each table. As favors , each couple will receive brandy snifters filled with orchids. Refreshments will consist of cookies and punch. Lois Kutish , chairman of the affair, stressed that the dance is an all-campus event and not restricted to T.D.R. members.

Witness the new semester. Almost every student promises to study nightly, to hand in assignments on time, to be prepared for every class. Each new beginning carries with it suspense. One wonders how long it takes the suspense to mellow into ordinary routine. Some beginnings are never given the opportunity to reach this final stage; at times we should be happy that it does not. For example, if the "dormie demonstration" concerning cafeteria food becomes routine, either the dormies must go, or the food. We hope it is the food. At times, a revolution is the only way to accomplish some required reformation. We neither condemn nor applaud the dorm students' action - actually the riot itself was predictable if the causes leading up to it were carefully considered. In our years spent at the College, we have heard very few complimentary remarks concerning the food. If mentioned at all, the food was spoken of in a derogatory manner. We likewise realize that it is difficult to please a large number of students in a situation allowing for little, if any, originality or selectivity. One cannot please all the people all the time. However, complaints should be taken into consideration. By the same token, "demonstrations" should also be considered, if not more so. Those in charge of the cafeteria have agreed to "look into the matter". We hope they are doing more than relying on the psychological effect of that statement and actually act. May we also suggest offering a varied menu to the day students? Bread and fish may have sustained the early Christians, but manna was also on the menu. In the beginning of last semester, turkey and roast beef sandwiches were sold; alas, this did not become routine. While in the mood of offering suggestions, may we further note that the removal of the cigarette machine from Chase Hall has likewise accomplished little with the possible exception of aiding the development of sturdy legs for the walk to the YMCA, the JCC, or the nearest drug store. If it was hoped that the students would drop the sometimes offensive act of smoking, then why not follow the action through to its logical conclusion and remove the ashtrays from the cafeteria? If we are to begin at the beginning we must continue through the middle and finish - at the end. by Sam Baccanari According to the traditional conception of democracy, governmental policies are enacted into law after a majority of the public has made known its interests and desires. In the pure version of this system, as is still practiced in some New England towns, the citizenry directly govern themselves by assembling periodically in town halls to initiate, approve, or disapprove various legislative proposals which will become law. Nationally, in the American system, there is in operation a common, modified version of this plan, representative democracy, in which the people possess the power of ultimate control over government officials whom they elect to and may remove from office at periodic and free elections in numerous districts. But majority rule is an idealized notion of democracy, and its mechanical operation rarely occurs in actual practice. For the most part, the makers of public policy, along with their goals and ideologies, are unrecognized by the American public. Governmental decision-making is not the simple Congressional voting process whereby public officials should stand uncompromisingly for what is right regardless of the consequences. In practice, the American governmental system is one in which many groups struggle to control or inffuence government so that laws and actions will favor their own interests. Operatipg along the sidelines of the formal governmental organization, the pressure groups or lobbyi~ts inBuence administrators and legislators, who are dependent upon them for their election, to enact specific proposals. Representing various segments of society, whether business, labor, agriculture, Negroes, the military, or the civil service, the major interest groups conduct a bartering process in the political marketplace which results in an exchange of support between themselves and the government representatives. Found in the middle of these confficting forces, the governmental officials try to harmonize the various interests through compromise or dealing, to be more explicit. Ultimately, however, one or two groups win out amon_g _all the others, and legislation is enacted and governmental actions are performed with their best interests in mind. When this occurs, over and above the over-all interests of the rest of the populace, we have what is known as minority rule. Majority Safest Guardians 1 The traditional concept of American National Government has been to place faith in the majority who rule as the safest guardians of both the public good and private rights. But what the hell is sacred about SO per cent plus one? After all, there are few things as democratic as a lynching mob, where everybody is satis&ed except a small, insignificant minority of one. There is no particular logic in numbers that give a majority the right to impose a decision on a minority. Majority rule is not a logically correct principle when, if unrestrained, it leads to majority tyranny. There is nothing unusual about minority inffuence on government policies. American government has been basically government by the few. This is evidenced in the low turnout at elections when, in most elections, about one half of the eligible voters show up at the polls. Even within interest groups themselves there is minority inffuence because most of the members are passive, leaving actual control of the group in the hands of a few leaders. The Senate itself provides a prime example of minority inffuence on government. For example, Senators from the eight largest states, which possess 54 per cent of the voters, have the same number of Senate votes as 3 1~ those from the eight smallest states, which possess less than 3 per cent of the voters, and a majority can be created by a coalition of Senators who represent less than 15 per cent of the voters. Public policy in the United States today functions upon a system of " minority consensus." There is in operation a political, collective bar'" gaining system of negotiation and compromise through which the various C "_:"'---::,"""-...:..;,;::, groups in society peacefully make 5 known their interests rather than hav""-T ing one group, even if it is a majority, completely dominate the whole of society in a tyrannical fashion. But the Embers Glow On A flame burns out. Royalty breaks tradition. A world weeps. The flame, of course, was Winston Spencer Churchill - once the torch who seared the dreams of a hated tyrant. A soldierturned-statesman whose brilliant oratory stirred a nation to limitless bravery when all seemed lost. Beloved of millions his friends count among the high and low, soldiers and civilians, statesmen and royalty. The queen - Elizabeth Regina declared a state funeral for a hero. Made an unprecedented visit to the saviour of her kingdom as he lay in state. Sent a wreath - from a grateful nation. The world the people thrilled to great heights by his valor. Two presidents, comrades-in-arms, one in quiet sadness, the other publicly bidding farewell. A world weeps. Royalty breaks tradition. A flame burns. out, but its embers glow on. ----------------· WHAT• WHERE• WBEN BASKETBALL - Harpur - Home - tonight, 8:15 p.m. FACULTY SEMINAR - Dr. Rosenberg - Faculty Lounge.

The College certainly has more to talk about since our last issue (four weeks ago) and our next issue (at least two weeks from this) than what the Beacon has reported. I am all for patronizing the advertisers who patronize us, but what about the " . . . a newspaper published . . . for the students of Wilkes College" policy? Doris Marie Woody '66 Forum Restored; Cheifetz Commands by Helen Dugan The Forum of last year has survived and improved through a complete restoration movement. This movement was initiated by the current president, Phil Cheifetz. Cheifetz, with his radical innovations, has drastically improved the overall quality of the club. Stanley Gutin, Forum faculty advisor, and the club's basic purpose to provide an opportunity for students to express their ideas on any matters of general intellectual interest - are the only remaining evidences of last year's club. "The success of the club," as Cheifetz points out, "depends on the members." This is verified by com• bining the statistics of a membership almost double that of last year, and by the higher quality in general of this year's papers. Cheifetz believes it is evident that the research done on these papers is equivalent to that done on a term paper. The new vitality of this year's club can also be attributed to 'young blood'. The club is almost entirely composed of new members. The Forum meetings have been changed from Tuesday night to every other Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in Chapman Hall. The dates run February 3, 17, etc. By having the club meet only every other week, it enables the students to attend the College Coffee House at St. Stephen's Church on the alternate Wednesdays. Membership to the club is obtained merely by presenting a paper at one of its meetings. The presentation must be between thirty minutes and an hour in length. Following this is a discussion of approximately forty-five minutes, after which coffee and doughnuts are served. The Forum, originally started for English majors, is today attended by students from many fields. "The members are of a more diversified group, and with diversity come new ideas," stated Cheifetz. He also pointed out that non-members are encouraged to attend free of charge. The February 17 paper on existentialism will be presented by Mark Hamdi. Some future papers will discuss Heinrich Heine and Kahlil Gibran. Dear Editor, We would like to express our appreciation 1t<> all those who made January 29th an unforgettable date for us. We also wish to commend Jack Brooks and Jack Barnes (cochairmen of Winter Carnival), Cathy DeAngelis and Student Government for working so hard to give all the students at Wilkes a tremendous day at Buckhill. We also wish to congratulate the athletes whose winning action on Saturday evening brought perfection to the weekend. Sincerely. Dianne Alfaro Lois Petroski Marie Persic Debt of Gratitude paid in Thanks Dear Editor: Last week the annual Winter Carnival was held at Buckhill Falls. Almost 300 students participated in a cold wintry day of skiing, sledding, and skating. As chairmen of this year's Winter Carnival, we wish to express a sincere "thank you" to all the students whose individual participation insured the success of the day 's activities. A special debt of gratitude is extended to the Student Activities Committee for their help in publicity, to the Beacon, and to the faculty members who consented to chaperone at the event. To all those people, "thank you" again for making the 1965 Winter Carnival so successful. Sincerely, Jack Barnes and Jack Brooks Chairmen �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 5, 1965 Page 3 Rizzo Wonders Aimlessly Through Wasteland . . . and so, Dr. Rizzo, you feel that Tiny Alice reveals a movement toward shocked despair in Broadway theatre?

THE UNTOUCHABLES are the ones who can stand by inert while a sick man takes an hour and a half to kill a New York secretary. The twenty-year old today can say, '1've seen it all." And he has, but he hasn't done anything. How long can this dissociation ( association w i t h o u t participation) go on? We 'll survive television, but nothing will ever be the same. The naive excitement of walking two blocks to a theatre to see Myrna Loy and William Powell is gone. The Thin Man is now at our fingertips , and the television set reduces the need for exertion. It is always there. We are in teracting with something that is not· human. The television set has replaced the co:l'ecsp'>On a'l a means with which to measure out our lives. The Fugitive is the Odyssey without any of the adventure. The theme of a wanderer searching for home (or freedom from guilt, or redemption) is a common enough one, but on television it has come across as too contrived. Penelope is killed by a onearmed man and Odysseus sets out with no destination, or plan. Television panders to the dominant lusts and fugitive desires of pe~sons caught in a reverie condition _,better left unstimulated. But the medium has found a level on which it can feed for an indefinite future , for it has become a diversion of the masses with their depravity of taste. But since no one with authority prescribes laws for television, we have allowed it to meet the level of our depravity. Since television's raison d'etre is to sell products, then its primary desire is to please. It functi,o ns to prattle about or divert, but never to challenge or require. It offers nothing which sticks to the ribs of thought. I don't think that because we are potential buyers of things that our low tastes sh,,>uld be sovereign over national expressions directed at us. TV's Pl;'}gress Condensed The great disappointment of television is the tremendous gap between the promise and the performance. Television's potential is overwhelming since it makes available to the man who delivers ice to taprooms and who lives on a side street in a poverty-str.icken town a diversion with which to completely fill his spare time. The television set is one of the greatest things that has happened to this iceman. He is able to watch a moon rocket launched or see the last scene of the Churchill story. Radio never became the part of man 's life that television has become because it is auditory and does not demand unhampered attention as the visual does. It shocks the mind for a moment to think that all the best that has ev er been written could be shown on television in one week. But no one would watch it. Instead, television chews up literature, it chews up everything and presents it in visual form . How much more will the beast put into his paw, digest, and eliminate as waste material. how much indeed. Cut this is the product which the viewer wants. To say it is pap is to be kind. I am concerned about the over-whelming number of objects that get his attention and are enacted before the eyes of others. They were never believed worthy of expression before. I fear wliat will get the viewer's attention tomorrow. Today he sees the miracle •of the elimination of a goiter from a woman 's neck by the laying on of hands. He can be made to see this with his own eyes. He accepts, he does not criticize. The boundaries of credulity have been stretched too far. The extension of reality has passed through the twilight zone, beyond the outer limits, into a ghoulish realm of monster families and bewitched wives. Indifference to Violence This hammering away at the viewer's discrimination has rendered him insensitive. Visually depicted violence no longer dumbfounds but is met with a slack-jawed paralysis which has carried over to reality. The same people who sit like frogslegs to be galvanized by LAWBREAKER or The Beverly Hillbillies has become quickly old-hat. It worries me that we are so soon bored. One of the worst offerings is College Bowl because it reflects the fac tual veneer over our lack of desire for true knowledge. News in depth is not deep; it is merely a summary of past newscasts. We are a nation of slackjawed oglers, skimming over the surface of truth without bothering to dive into background and detail. "A bomb thrown into a hotel? Just tell me how many were killed."

Summer Institute in Biology for secondary school teachers will be held at the College this year according to President Eugene Farley. This program, the first of its kind to be conducted in northeastern Pennsylvania, has been made possible by a $43,680 grant from the National Science Foundation. The purpose of the Institute is t.o strengthen the teacher's background in b:ology by exposing him to the most modern concepts in biol~. The teacher will then be better :able to prepare his students to meet the demands of college programs in biology. In addition, it is hoped that the program will encourage the teacher to continue study towards an advanced degree, and that it will enable him to gather and exchange information concem'ng curriculum development, new tea-:hing aids, and science projects. The seven week program will consist of lectures, discussion-recitation, laboratory work, and field trips. From 800 to 1000 persons are expected to apply; a special committee will select approximately 40 participants. Dr. Francis Michelini. professor of biology and dean of academic affairs, will serve as director of the Institute. D r. Charles Reif. chairman of the College department of biology, will s~rve as the lnstitute's associate director. The instructors will be Dr. Robert Ogren , associate professor of bioloqv . and Dr. Grace Kimball , assistant professor of biology. · Miss Marilyn Williams, a member of the biology department at Highland P!!rk High School, New Jersey , will superv ise the laboratory work.

STREET FLOOR �Friday, February 5, 1965 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 5 Wilkes Cagers Becord Initial Victory Over Madison-rDV 61-60 LINE UP by Clark Line by Ivor Smith Once upon a time-and not a very long time ago-I aired my feelings in this column regarding the plight of our football team. A second reading of that article and a conversation with Coach John Reese prompted me to comment further on the fortunes of not only our football situation-which is actually symbolic of our entire athletic situation in one way or another-but on the scheme of things in other intercollegiate sports at the College as well. In the column referred to above, I listed four possible reasons for the poor showing of our football squad. However, one more reason has recently cropped up. It is time that the athletes on the field, so to speak, are responsible for victory or defeat. Yet I feel very strongly about the fickleness of sports fans, which leads us nearer to the point of this article. The point is that any team cannot be expected to produce without some ultimate reward in sight, for motivation is surely important in accomplishing tasks, whether athletic or academic. Now, rewards take many forms. Let me elucidate. A reward may be money (as in the case of professional athletes), a sense of personal accomplishments, due to a kind of exhibitionism, or maybe a desire to bring honor to one's alma mater. rm sure more rewards may come to mind, but let me dwell a moment upon the final one above, namely, the desire to bring honor to one's alma mater. Suppose a college athlete, who spends valuable time practicing every evening, receives no apprciation for his efforts from his fellows. What motivation, then, will he have for putting more effort into his athletic endeavors? If he is not looking for a professional career, seeking personal gratification, and is not an exhibitionist, what may be his only gratification is not available to him in an apathetic campus. And now, I am forced to use a word which has become a bit repetitious. However, it is necessary. There was a time when students carried drums and noise - makers to the athletic events to cheer for the various teams, but such is no longer the case. I wonder why the cheerleaders, to whom much credit is due, even bother, and I could go on from here, but the word apathy is ringing in my ears. I'll be the first •l ~ admit to my emotional lapses, but it seems that any blame for a poor team showing does not rest entirely on the team members or the coach. The motivation which the rooting section does or does not provide is an important factor. I agree that it is difficult to cheer for losing teams, but what can be the damage? I was stimulated to write this sequence after a conversation with Mr. Reese. In closing I should like to carry forth his request that the students participate to a greater extent in the athletic events. A significant advance on this problem would be better attendance at the games and meets, and while you're there, why not shout a few words in your team's behalf. •••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• Look Your Be6t . . . . .

Market St . Wilkes-Barre The Wilkes College basketball team has hit the win column by narrowly defeating the Madison campus of Farleigh-Dickinson University 61-60. However, the Colonels have added three more defeats to their record since the last edition of the Beacon. Preceding final examinations, the Colonels were defeated by the ' Scranton Royals and Delaware V~li~y 7555 and 84-69, respectively. In the Scranton game the Royals got off to a good start in the first half and had a comfortable lead at the half. The Colonels failed to improve their standing in the second half as Scranton's Jim Dooley led the Royals to an easy victory. Dale Nicholson matched Dooley 's 20 points as high man for Wilkes, while Jim Smith totaled 17 counters. The Royals have their sights on the MAC championship. Delaware Valley was leading 38-28 at halftime, and once more the Colonels were unable to overcome the deficit. Smith was high for Wilkes with 20 points, aided by Dale Nicholson and Jim Antoni with 16 and 15 points, respectively. With final examinations over, the C o 1 on e 1 s gained momentum and squeezed their first victory out of ten winless outings. The contest was decided in the last moments of the game at Madison-F.D.U. was leading 5'6-55 with a minute and a half rem<1jt1ing. Joe Chanecka, of Wilkes, was fouled and subsequently sank two free throws, placing the Colonels in the lead 56-57. But as Madison regained the lead on a goal, Wilkes countered with a two-point foul conversion by Dale Nicholson with 15 seconds and Wilkes spirits rose only to be dampened once again as Madison's Bill Dale Nicholson lets fly with a long one Wickes scored from the outside. Swiftly putting the ball back into play, Wilkes drove down the court with Nicholson taking a pass at the foul line and laying up the winning goal. Mike Sharok was high for Wilkes with 15 roints, while Nicholson and Chanecka also hit double figures. Wickes was high for the game with 18 points. in a one sided game 114-88. This is the I Ith loss for the Colonels in 12 encounters. The game produced high individual scores as East Sttoudsburg had 6 men reaching double figures, with Ed Marchalonis high at 24 points. Nicholson was over-all high man with 28 and Mike Sharok hit for 22 counters.

Heesch is a native of Niagara Falls, New York, where he began his swimming career at Lewistown-Porter High School as a four-year varsity swimmer. In competition with swimmers from his area, he won first place in the 400-yard freestyle event, while managing to find time for other extracurricular activities such as serving as president of his junior class. Hersch i~ a liber:,) arts major, holds a badge in Senior Life Saving and enjoys playing tennis. He has remarked that his success as a swimmer centers around his strong flutter kick and smooth arm stroke. As a freshman swimmer, Heesch gained praise from both Ken Young, team coach, and Jack Barnes, the squad's captain. This season has proven no different for Heesch as far as his swimming Harry Heesch capabilities are concerned. Heesch took firsts in the 50-yard and 100yard against Philadelphia Textile but yard freestyle (25 seconds) and the was bested by W esternelt of East JOO-yard freestyle (56 seconds) Stroudsburg in the same two events. against Textile.

Cagers Schedule Lists 3 Contests The Wilkes cagers will have two home games this weekend, meeting Harpur tonight and Rutgers of South Jersey tomorrow night. Both games are scheduled for 8: 15 p.m. On Wednesday the Colonels travel to Lycoming where they will vie with the Warriors. Harpur is sure to feel the loss of high scorer Barry Sch~eider, but the Colonels will have to stop returners Mike Freedus, Steve Davis, and Bill Matros. Subsequent to the Rutgers game, Wilkes will find a much improved Lycoming squad, led by co-captains Irv ost and Ron Travis and coached by " Dutch " Burch . Lycoming is a young squad without a senior on the team. Two freshmen of note are George Young and Dave Pearson. Young typifies the Warriors· lack of height at only 5' 9" , but has tremendous ability. Pearson is the tallest man on the squad at 6' 4" and moves his 205 pound frame quite well. •••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• COLLEGE Charms - Rings Brooches Miniature Rings and Charm Bracelets FRANK CLARK JEWELER ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 6 Friday, February 5, 1965 Swimmers Win Isl; Away Tomorrow Wilkes Downs Textile; Lose 48 - 47 Thriller To East Stroudsburg Millersville Hosts Colonel Mermen In Afternoon Swim Meet On Wednesday, January 13, the Wilkes swimmers traveled to the newly-built Roxboro YMCA and defeated the Philadelphia Textile mermen 55-40.

The meet began with a fiery start as the Wilkes 400-yard medley team of Petrillo, Roger Rolfe, Bill Webb and Ken Wiswall won their event with a new school record time of 4:59.3. For the next six events, the Stroudsburg swimmers secured the fi rs '. places closely followed by the Wilkesmen who captured the second and third place points. Then the Wilkes swimmers broke into the first place column when Petrillo and Carsman won their respective events. In the next to the last event. Wilkes again took second and third places. At this point the score stood at 47-41 in favor of Wilkes. However, East Stroudsburg was able to sr~atch the 400-yard free style relay, worth 7 points, and win the meet.

Although no single consensus has been reached, several problems are discussed in the students' responses. Next week, the Beacon will publish an article on the school psychologist, Mrs. Frances Sears, in connection with this survey . Below are students ' reactions to the survey : Jack DeCinti - I don't believe there is only one basic problem which concerns all college students. However, the most prevalent one facing most students is the inability to concentrate on academic subject matter because of preoccupation with social activities or personal problems. Discipline of the mind is necessary - this is what I think is the most important function of college. Al Saidman - Many college students are faced with indecision . Those in the liberal arts program are merely jumping from course to course looking for a field which interests them. Tom Stetz - There are a multitude of problems facing students. As many emotional problems face college students as face the population in general However, one of the biggest is the responsibility which the student takes on. Making the adjustment to college .. the chief 'problem' he would confess would be boredom . life is often difficult because of such factors as stress of courses, choice of profession and whether or not you have actually made the right choice in coming to college. Another big pr,<.>blem is social acceptance because college students are, perhaps, the most socially concious group in the society. Rosemary Baiera - Self-discipline, adjustment and ali enation are important problems of college students. Either a student alienates himself from himself or from society. In each case he encounters a problem. David Frey and Irv Lebowitz - The greatest problem of college students is their fear of being rejected. As a result of this fear, they pretend to be what they are not or " play the role." This leads to another fear - that of exposure. Betsy Dukes - As a day student, I feel that the greatest problem is that of parental domination which leads to insecurity. The dorm student doesn't have this same problem. When you 're living at home, there are distractions such as television, chores at home, outside work which detracts from the time a student should spend on his college work and activities. Claudia Ross - Ever since 1957 educators have been saying that students aren't well prepared in the elementary and high schools. Then colleges expect us to be able to cope with the demands of college life. John Gallagher - There is too much competition in college. Mari Purcell - I feel that the greatest problem for students is the decision of a career and the search for one"s own identity. Barbara Poska - Money is the greatest problem because it is necessary for an education and to repay educational loans. Louise Edwards - In my opinion, the greatest problem for students is the pressure from parents. Cecile R,osen - For the freshman , it is the adjustment period. Once this adjustment is made, being accepted socially while trying to maintain decent grades is the hardest thing to get used to. This is because we have now entered an adult society. Elena Mendel - The basic problem lies in establishing rapport with people who have different interests and background than your own. Joanne Draganchuk - One basic problem of coljege students is learning to adjust to the personality and demands of your professors. Mary Tinner - I think too much emphasis is put on grades. If students were more concerned with how much they LEARN and not their grades, tension wnuld not be as great and good grades would probably follow. Bill Zegarski - Each person desires to seek his place in the world, be it in employment or marriage. Through this they achieve their goals of happiness and security. Noreen Considine More than anything a student looks for security, an unattainable goal. Larry DiGregori - The main problem of college students in our society is a lack of a sense of direction toward a specific goal.

Service Students Direct Modern Plays ICG Holds Classes �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Editorial Dear Valentine, NEED DENIED "I believe this section of Pennsylvania should have a community or state college in the area, so everyone can have an equal chance to secure a college education ... The lower income person can then acquire for himself an education AT a price he can well afford • . . " The above quotation is taken from a recent letter to the editor of the TIMES-LEADER EVENING NEWS. The author, who signed himself "Citizen", said that although the community provides higher education for its members through King's and Wilkes Colleges, their fees and tuition rates are too expensive for "the poor people" of the area who wish to further their learning beyond the high school level. His solution to the problem was the institution of a low-cost state or community college in the valley. Mr. Art Hoover, in answer to "Citizen", wrote a letter to the LEADER. In essence, Mr. Hoover asserted that anybody, regardless of financial position, may obtain a college education if he wants one, particularly at Wilkes. He outlined the College's policies regarding scholarships and loans and student work on campus, emphasizing the fact that the College chooses its aid recipients on a basis of proper motivation and financial need. He concluded his letter, "No qualified student will be denied an opportunity to study at Wilkes College because he lacks the necessary financial resources. With God's help, where there's a will, there's a way." Admittedly, "Citizen" was correct when he said that college is expensive. The current tuition rate here at the College is $900, not including books and extra fees. A semester for a day student at a state institution is considerably less, it is true, but there are several points to consider in Wilkes' favor. If "Citizen" is merely interested in obtaining a college degree for its own sake and not in what he has learned or what meaning the degree has, then where his degree comes from will not be important. It should be. More and more people are becoming college graduates, and employers and graduate schools not only have the opportunity but are almost obligated to be a little more selective when choosing prospective employees and students. They can now ask not only "Do you have a colle~e diploma?" but also "From what school did you graduate?" We shall pass no judgment on the quality of education received at state colleges or in their reputations as "tough" or "easy" schools. We shall say that Wilkes, with its reputation as a "tough" school, is a good school, with high educational standards, and is recognized as such. Ask anyone who has flunked a course here and passed the same course in summer school or at a state college. Wilkes has a teacher-student ratio of approximately one faculty member per eighteen students. We do not know the exact figures of the ratio at the state colleges, but the students are in a decidedly larger proportion there. Our ratio is advantageous because it provides for a more personal student-teacher relationship. The College is in the process of expanding its facilities, making possible even more educational opportunities. Some of our buildings are old, but physical surroundings are not a major factor of learning. So, perhaps four years at Wilkes costs more than four years at, say, Bloomsburg or East Stroudsburg, but considering the advantages outlined, we believe that the extra money is worth spending. Having established its worth. let us consider the sources of this extra money. As Mr. Hoover pointed out and as most Wilkes students know, the opportunities for financial aid are numerous here. This year the College awarded scholarships of almost $130,000 and National Defense Loans of $225,000. The numbers speak for themselves. There are also private scholarship and loan funds which the needy student may turn to. The College offers part-time employment for students; they may work at outside part-time or even full-time jobs; they may work during the summers. The extra work may be taxing, taken along with school activities, but it is not impossible to carry on both, if the student really wants his education. We believe that the Valley does not need a state college. Speaking for Wilkes, we say a good education may be obtained here now, and the problem of finances may be solved if the desire to go to college is great enough. WBAT • WBERE • WHEN T .D.R.

Or can one? Analyze your valentines. When your mate gives you a valentine, be quick to ask him what brought on this sudden extravagant, unnecessary show of affection. Under such a surprise attack he is likely to tell you. He might also try to get around your question by telling you he loves you. But do not accept alibis. There is a controversial method by which one can judge the meaning, inner and outer, of a valentine - any girl who receives a valentine costing anywhere from 25 to 50 cents can feel fairly safe. This type of valentine is the average type given by normal, unassuming, unfinanced boys. It says what the boy feels , yet is concise enough so that the girl does not think he is serious and should have given her more than one cheesy valentine and a "Well, Sweets, here you go." This is the outer interpretation. Bu '. by looking slightly beyond the obvious, one can discover the underlying truth. One will notice that this type of valentine is always prompted by some national or international company. At this point one should start to become skeptical. " Why should he give me such a common valentine?" The answer: because he can very easily buy 20 duplicates to give out to the rest of his 'steadies'. Labor of Love The se.~ond type of valentine is equally deceiving. This valentine was made by the boy with his ,own· little hands. The i_llpsion one gets from this type of valentine is ·that the boy wanted to give you something that was a part of him; but, if that is so, why didn't he just give you one of his sockgarters or the bandaid from the hole in his ear where you bit him last week? The girl does not think of this when she gets such a sweet love offering as her own hand-made valentine with one-side-bigger-than-the-other. Think, girl, think ! When one stops to analyze the situation, it becomes very clear. He has no money . You may say, "That is easy to explain; he spent it all on me." But now it is time to make an itemized account of the money he spent on you in the last two weeks. In those two weeks, he took you out three times. The first time you went to the Manuscript movie; then he took you for a nice walk around the square . .. $.00. The next date you had was on the following night. He invited you to his house because he had caught a cold walking you around the square last night. This of course meant you had to bring him cookies to cheer him up ... minus 79 cents. By the next weekend he was all over his cold and decided to show you the town. Perugino's for supper. A movie in town. The Gaslight afterwards . . . $25.68. Oops, you almost forgot. The most embarrassing thing happened to him. Somewhere between your dorm and Perugino's he lost his wallet .. . minus $25.68. Now that it is clear he did not spend his money on you, the next logical question appears, and you have discovered the true stimulus to his most worthy action. Boomphy? The third type is the one dollar and up plus-a-box-of-candy valentine. The underlying meaning of this type is the most obvious to an outsider, but to the girl who receives it - that's a different story. Her boyfriend is the sweetest, PUREST, greatest thing to walk the earth since God created vicious pumas. After this outer show of undying love for her, how can she possibly question where he was last night when her girllriend saw him with a boomphy brunette while he was supposed to be taking his aged grandmother to the hospital to see the last of her 36 cousins? I ask you - how could she? And once again, after a slight inquisition, the inner obvious is revealed. One knows not whom to trust these days. So girls - when you get that tender valentine Sunday, calmly look him in the eye and say, " Who do you think you are, giving me the same valentine as those other twenty girls?" , " Where'd all your money go?", and "I know who that brunette was! " Then walk out on him. When, or if, he recovers he will think you are either a mystic or a nut, and will dedicate himself to watching you very carefully for the rest of his life. Five to one it will work! Viewpoint '65 Vietnam - Why The Price by Marshall Evans The importance of the actions of all sides in Vietnam is not a triviality by any standard. After a temporary lapse in war activity due to the celebration of the New Year, the Vietnam problem has emerged into the limelight of international focus with ever-increasing stature. At this moment in Vietnam a fuse can easily be ignited which would result in nuclear holocaust and destruction. A fantasy, a dream, or an unreality? Not in the least. The thought of this possibility does not appear at the forefront of one's mind ; nevertheless, it must be considered, and very seriously so, as a possibility. What are the problems? What are the answers? Is Vietnam worth American lives and dollars? These are questions which have continued to be asked since the inception of our agreement to assist the people of Vietnam in their quest for peaceful independence. These are questions which cannot be answered here. However, basic problem areas can and will be presented, the causes of the problems discussed , and the possible solutions mentioned. The major problem in South Vietnam is the government - more precisely, the lack of orderly and stable government. In the past 18 months several coups have taken place, and each has seemed to worsen the situation. The Buddhist monks, the military and the Catholic element have not yet been able to co-exist in or under one government for any length of time. Dille.ring Values There are. $eVeral factors contributing to this problem. The Vietnamese society and its values are quite different from those. that western culture accepts as normal. The Vietnamese oo not have a strong sense. of nationalism, nor do they possess a strong loyalty to a large powerful institution - the national government - which has little direct contact with these people. Thus, the necessary interest is absent. The common people seem to appreciate the American government's participation in their effort to maintain freedom. Most reports of observers on the scene indicate that the contempt which is present originates from the small group of outspoken militant Buddhist monks and their followers. However, we cannot force our values upon the Vietnamese, nor is it .our aim to do so. We are there at the request of the Vietnamese to assist them in maintaining their freedom. We accepted this responsibility and intend to fulfill it. Why accept the responsibility? Vietnam is the key to Southeast Asia, Japan, the Philippines and Australia. The independence of this nation prevents the communists from increasing their geographic expansion and acquisition of strategic contingent bases from which they may conveniently stimulate and originate unrest and subversion to neighboring countries. The recent action of the Viet Cong guerillas in attacking Americans in Pleiku and other bases was rapidly and unquestionably answered by American retaliation, demonstrating again our intent not to ignore direct attacks on Americans. America must continue to answer these attacks by the Viet Cong guerillas with increased power, if necessary, to clearly demonstrate our intent to obtain our objective. No Retreat America cannot retreat into isolation. If we show fear, we encourage further attacks and trespasses on our rights throughout the world and in our own territories by tiese same communist plotters. American forces at present face the decision to attack the supply lines of the Viet Cong in the North or not to expand our action any further. We could also expand t'1e war even further by attacking all of North Vietnam and Red China, but this is not yet a realistic choice. Clearly, action must be taken to deplete the Viet Cong guerillas of their strength. Another course of action appeals to some, including Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield - that is negotiation. But for successful negotiation the U.S. and South Vietnam should have a strong position, something now absent. Perhaps the late President Kennedy 's words can best answer this question of negotiation: "Never let us negotiate out of fear, but never let us fear to negotiate." Victory Unrealistic? Victory - clear-cut and decisive - for either side seems out of the question. Relative victory seems more realistic. Henry Cabot Lodge, former ambassador to Vietnam, was quoted this week as saying we should aim for a stalemate, If a atalemate would enable the people of Vietnam to enjoy freedom freedom from intervention and guerilla attacks - LET US SEEK IT. Under such conditions the major problem - a stable and orderly government - can be solved, which In turn will help solve minor problems. However, if a stalemate means continued efforts of expansion in Vietnam by the communists, then LET US KEEP ON FIGHTING, The price for Vietnam may be too great to pay1 however, the price for the rights of people wishing to be free is not too high. If we retreat from Vietnam we will eventually face the same situation In other parts of the world. We have the responsibility to help the South Vietnamese retain their freedom, and in doing so, blocking communist expans!,on in Southeast Asia - LET US RISE PROUDLY AND FmML Y TO ASSUME OUR RESPONSIBILITY. �Page 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 12, 1965 FARLEY PRESENTS "STATE REPORTER WRITES DEBATABLE STORY OF THE COLLEGE" MESSAGE ; CURRENT WORTH SI I MILLION by Mary A. Quinn Dr. Eugene S . Farley"s annual report on the development of the College, entitled ""An Emerging College", has recently been published. The report stresses the establishment of a new " foundation upon which to build a more dynamic college, with new opportunities for cultural and intellectual satisfaction ." One of the foremost examples of the expansion of the College is its progressively swelling enrollment. In the first few years of the College's existence, the numb er of students attending did not exceed 350. In 1946, just ten years later, the enrollment jumped above the 1.000 mark. In 1964, there were a total of 1,980 students, ten times the original number. Accompanying the increased enrollment is the great need for a new dormitory , dining hall and library. T'hese projects have an approximate total cost of $3,600,000. Dr. Farley indicated that the attempt to finance such new assets is a challenge to the College, but he reasserts his "confidence in the support of the College"s friends , federal grants and loans." Tangible Assets Equally significant in the 30 year history of the College, as Dr. Farley pointed out, is the chronological progress of its tangible assets, including buildings and equipment, endowment and market value, and special funds, which have been amplified II.> great proportions in the pa-st few years. At the same time, the debts of the College have been ENTIRELY curtailed. Specifically, the value of the buildings and equipment has risen from $21,000 in 1936, to slightly less than $6,000,000, in 1964. The overall economic situation can be seen from the change of MINUS $7,000 in 1936 to approximately $11,500,000 in current assets. In the report, Dr. Farley praised highly advancements in the College's intangible assets, namely, intellectual and spiritual aspects, which he believes to be "the true criteria by which a college should be judged. " Due to a very tight schedule, being a student at the College and holding down a job in order to remain a student here at the College, I was not able to attend the assembly program (show?) this past week. Yet I was assigned to a story about the debate held in assembly. The only way I could do this was to obtain the information from a selected group of students - my friends. . ··•.....................,, __ ,,, Most of "my friends" agreed that the program was a debate. Therefore the first line of my story must be this: A debate was held in assembly last week. ·' Now, the next point I was after was who participated in this debate and what was this debate about. After many different answers from my friends - Answers like " there were four people on each team ," or "no, that was four people altogether,two on each side and two moderators" - I finally deduced the fact that there were four faculty members, two on each team with one moderator, in a lively ··argument" - I'm sorry, I meant to say in a lively " debate" . Therefore the second line of my newsworthy story is: The debate was made possible by the participation of four faculty members, two on each team. Tom Thomsen wanted challenging work Being a good newsman, g1vmg an accurate account of events, I next wanted to know who debated. This presented a problem, for these selected students, my friends - from whom I obtained the information for this story - all by coincidence, I'm sure, happened to sit in the last row of the gym to the far left - in other words, in the corner. My friends, all of whom must be nearsighted, must have been napping or diligently studying for the next period. Anyway, if I listed the four members of this team as given to me by each one of "my friends" the list would number all of the College faculty , including some of the folks from administration. Now how did I get the next line of my story? Being a math major, I did this: I took the four names which occurred the most number of times. Therefore, the next most important line of my story is this: The four faculty members were Dr. William Bliss and Mrs. Ann Kish , making up the affirmative team, and Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Joseph Kanner, comprising the negative team. Survey . ;.... ::•.v=·• John Wisloski Although sex ;hould not be a major problem of the college student, it is. A vast amount of his conflicts, states of depression, and anxiety which lead to lowered performance in school are associated with sex. Sex is basically a latent biological function that need not be psychologically triggered into action. Students have enough problems without being partially incapacitated by the conflict between the far too many restrictions on sex and importance of fulfilling sexual desires. .··· ~t•:::::~t~t~--• ::::::;:;::,:-:-::;:;:;:;:;:;:_:;:-:-: He found it at Western Electric T. R. Thomsen , B.S.M.E., University of Nebraska, '58, came to Western Electric for several reasons. Important to him was the fact that our young engineers play vital roles right from the start, working on exciting engineering projects in communications including: electronic switching, thin film circuitry, microwave systems and optical masers. Western Electric's wide variety of challenging assignments appealed to Tom, as did the idea of advanced study th ro ugh full -time graduate engineering training, numerous management courses and a company-paid Tuition Refund Plan . Tom knows, too, that we'll need thousands of experienceq engineer~ k,ir §upervisory positions within the next few years, And he's getting the solid experience necessary to qualify. Right now, Western Tom is developing new and improved inspection and process control techniques to reduce manufacturing costs of telephone switching equipment. Tom is sure that Western Electric is the right place for him. What about you? If you set the highest standards for yourself, enjoy a challenge, and have the qualifications we're looking for - we want to talk to you! Opportunities for fast-moving careers exist now for electrical, mechanical and industrial engineers, and also for physical science, liberal arts and business majors.

That students at the College are neglectful of their obligations? No, indeed not. The only thing I can conclude from this story is that my "selected" friends are not that ··selected." (continued from page 1) be termed , is created by the demand in our society for the student to attend college, whether he wishes to or not. The undergraduate degree has become so important; the preparation towards that degree is so cram-packed and rushed that the student "sleezes" through college, rather than preparing himself for a lifelong journey to knowledge. · . '··-. The big question, the " meat" of my story, the subject of the argument - was my next ordeal to face. The majority of my friends seemed to repeat two words - morals and law. I brilliantly deduced - there "s that word again - that the debate must have had something to do with morals and law. The difficult task was getting the exact words of the statement being debated. One fri end insisted that the argument was stated, "Morals and laws are good." Another said, "The concern of laws are morals," or still another, "Morals are enforced daily." After splicing sentences, rearranging words and punctuation, and correcting grammar, I finally grasped the subject of the debate. This is the next line of my story : The subject of the debate was, "The Enforcement of Morals is a Concern of the Law." Harry Russin - The biggest problem confronting a college student today cannot be placed in one category. Perhaps to some students the problems of money and social acceptance are their biggest worries. But I feel the problem of most students in college is the power of concentration and effective study habits. If the latter problems are solved, one's stay in college will be most rewarding , and the other problems will seem trivial. Ron Czajkowski - The major problem of today's college students is the proper use of time. He mus t utilize his time effectively between the rigors of study and the social functions which he must perform if he is to be a well-rounded and acceptable person. Neither of these can be neglected without doing some harm to the student's personality , Gene Klynott - The major problem of students in college is that they lose contact with reality due to the scholastic environment. They have tendencies towards a form of idealism. Jim Simpi,<:>n - Students don 't see m to care about appearance, actions, or their morality due to the fact that they revolve solely around what they are interested in - their major field. Most intelligent men always seem to lose contact with reality and the rest of the world. All their thoughts and actions center around their particular subject. Patric McG.µ-ty - If a student, in his first or second year, were to seek comfort in a ' psychologist, the chief "problem" he would confess would be boredom. There is a horrible lack of stimulation in a freshman or sophomore curriculum of survey courses. If there is anything beneath this veneer, something to catch the eye, so to speak, the page is turned and we move on t<.> another field. This boredom, a sort of inside-out purification, must be borne to make one worthy of exposure to "better things." There must be some kind of founda tion and, to date, survey courses are the best means of erection. They must be endured, like childbirth, until a better method is found. Marie Shutlock - The major problem , as I see it, seems to be the preservation of one's individuality. I think this idea can be applied specifically to the area of requirements for a course. Many times the teacher seems to overlook individual differences and abilities and fails to analyze the work he assigns in terms of the benefits it may have for his students. Ann Marie Micklo - One of our major problems is related to the lack of the human factor in teacher-student relationships. Students tend to become " machines" in the eyes of many teach ers. Pat Latona - I think that the tension placed on students is tremendous due to the additional work which teachers are demanding from them . Not only the complexity of the material, but also the amount of it adds to the number and degree of today 's college students· problems. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Colonel Mermen Succumb 66-29 At Millersville Standout Grapplers Extend Win Skein; Basketball Mike Sharok Named Mans lie Id, Millersville Bow 'Athlete of the Week' Carr Adds Power Last Saturday the Wilkes swimmers traveled to Millersville where the Marauders overpowered the Colonel mermen 66-29.

The problem becomes acute when representatives are also active participants in the sports at the College. Cathy DeAngelis, president, pointed out that Student Government should be the primary interest of any representative; by absenting himself from meetings repeatedly he cannot fulfill his obligations to his class and to the Government. According to the constitution, Article IX, Section I , paragraph 3, " Representatives who fail to attend Government meetings must explain each absence in writing, such explanations to be given to the secretary of the Student Government and read at the following meeting. Three such absences during a semester will require a secret ballot of the Government to determine whether or not the member should be dismissed ~nd a vacancy created. A three-fourtfis vote of the Student Government c~m also request a class to recall a representative on the grounds of inefficiency ." This article will be enforced. Barre and Sturdevant Halls were fined a total of five dollars for failing to submit an activities form for their dorm party last Saturday night. Butler Hall requested an additional date from Student Government, but the request was denied. Dates could not be granted for each dormitory , if requested, so a precedent cannot be established.

Tonight's and Saturday 's performances will begin at 8 p.m. ; those on Sunday and Monday will begin at 7:30 p.m . In the first play , a tragedy entitled Hello Out There by William Saroyan, student direc tion is done by Sumner Hayward , a senior history major, with stage management by Margaret Klein. Cast members are: Steve Davis, Lynn Mallory, Liz Slaughter, and Andrew Thorburn. The play is dominated by a theme of loneliness. intensified by internal conflict among its characters. An unusual and original production, A TRANSITION FROM TRAGEDY TO COMEDY, provides a transition from the first to the second play. Co-directed by Margaret Klein and Tony Toluba, its cast includes: Al Airola, Bill Barth, Sue Danf,orth, Catherine Davis, Ed Lipinski, Nancy Noterman, Angelo Speziale, and Dana Voorhees. In this "play", behind-thescenes workers will be seen in action, as the transition from play to play is made with open curtains. All scenery and stage changes will be made before the audience, providing a closer connection between the two plays. The cast of Man With a Tranquil Mind, directed by Anne Niehoff, is shown rehearsing. From left to right are Jodi Morrison, Sheryl Napoleon, Don Sumner Hayward is seen directing Liz Slaughter and Andy Thorburn in Conway, and Sylvia Carstensen. William Saroyan's Hello Out There. The second play, a comedy entitled Man With a Tranquil Mind, written by Dan Blue, is directed by Anne Niehoff, a sophomore English major. The cast includes: Sylvia Carstensen, Don Conway, Beverly Hanko, Pauline Homko, Jodi Morrison, Sheryl Napoleon , and Gigi Paciej. In the play, an assortment of female characters tries to restore the self-confidence of an unsuccessful health lecturer with an emotional problem. Stage manager for the play is Tony Toluba. Experimental Directing The student-directed one-act plays are an experiment with the Cue 'n Curtain group, and are intended to give the inexperienced performers both on and behind the stage a chance to gain experience. Students working under other students are graduated to the supervisory positions, where they are advised by the experienced members. This program was developed particularly for those students who plan to dir<'ct plays in high school or college i:1 the future, and offers a better opportunity to understand the total operations involved in translating the play from script form to people and action. Al Groh, observing the student-direction, admitted that the program is going well. The plays will be presented to limited audiences in Chase Theatre, with stage and light crews working around and above them. The makeshift stage stands two feet above floor level. Suspended curtains serve as barriers for backstage and offstage areas. A steep, narrow stairway to the far left of the stage is used for entrances and exits. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Edltorlal STATE OF THE COLLEGE The recently published REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT outlines in detail the progress which the College has made in the past 30 years. In most cases, we must applaud the efforts which have been made to further the development of the College. One must admit that the community has certainly benefited from this growth. Witness the Graduate and Research Center in Stark Hall. The Radio Corporation of America would not have come to the area without this Center promised by the College. The community must also thank the College for its construction of the Center for the Performing Arts. The stimulation of creative endeavor which is expected to result from the facilities of this building will ctrtainly raise the cultural level of the community. The College ~ill be given the opportunity to add to the cultural activity now dominated by the local Little Theatre groups and the Philharmonic Orchestra. Further community development has been aided through the College in the Institute of Municipal Government, the Fine Arts Fiesta, and in the Labor-Management-Citizens Committee. For all these benefits, we congratulate the efforts of everyone concerned. But there are still many areas which have been sadly neglected. The necessity for more dormitory space has been partially alleviated by the acquisition of a new dormitory on West River Street. Plans for further living space in the controversial Wright Street parking area have also been formulated. All day students who drive a car to school will agree that it is much less likely that a sturdy dormitory will sink into the mud than a lightweight automobile. An impressive list of finances spent on buildings and equipment can be found in the Report. But the glaring absence of a list of the finances spent on faculty salaries may also be noted. Perhaps some of the money spent on new dormitories and new dining halls could be channeled into higher salaries to attract more Ph.D.'s to the faculty. True, most of the heads of the var. ious departments have their Ph.D.'s. Perhaps these professors could be given the opportunity to teach only advanced courses and others without their doctorates could be restricted to survey courses. The Report states that more Ph.D.'s will be added to the science faculty, but what about the other departments? A College is judged chiefly by its academic standards. The number of dormitories, dining halls, and student unions is secondary. The Report also proudly states, "Seven and one-half acres were added to the recently-acquired field house and playing fields that adjoin Kirby Park on the west side.'' Seven and onehalf acres is a commendable acquisition of which the College can boast. What a pity that those seven and one-half acres are not located on this side of the Susquehanna. Seven and onehalf acres would make an impressive parking lot. Meanwhile, however, the College can enjoy the endeavors of its athletic teams. But after construction begins on the new dormitory, day students must find new parking areas. After public parking lots and meters have been filled to capacity, the students will be forced to park in driveways, on the River Commons, on Public Square, or on Dr. Farley's sizable lawn. But perhaps we have been too critical. Resources are not unlimited. The future of the College depends on the finances provided by "gifts from friends and Federal grants and loans". Perhaps these finances could be used in some of the areas where they are sorely needed.

Friday, February 19, 1 Sludenls Wallow In Mud Boa As Idealists J.ook To r11111rt:. Institutions of higher learning are judged mostly by the standards of their academic program. But schools should also be rated by the consideration given to the students attending their institutions. Therefore, an ideal school would seem to be one that has a high academic accreditation plus a high student-concern accreditation. When one puts the College to this test, it falls short of this ideal. How is one to judge a college that is working for the students who will be attending it in ten years, but not for its present students? Unfortunately, the College's IBM machine seems to have gone to its head. The College's function now seems to be mass tabulation of grades; bigger, better dormitories; larger, more efficient classr".loms; and greater, more spectacular art centers. While all this expansion is taking place, the forgotten day student shakes his head at a good institution being ruined by starry-eyed idealists looking toward a bigger, better Wilkes College. But with 'bigger' does not necessarily come 'better'. In 19n, when the College is rated as one of the most advanced schools in Pennsylvania, will the day students still be parking in Mud Road? Of course, the administration is considering this problem; but they have been considering it for the last ten years, and perhaps will be for the next twenty. If food riots work for the dorm students, perhaps parking riots would work for the qay students. But day students must always wait in line behind dorm students when it comes time for improvements. Dormies 'favored sons' There is no such thing as equality between dorm and day students, and there never will be equality as long as the dorm students remain the 'favored sons·. There is an I.D.C. , but where is the Day-Students" Council? Donn students have the run of the caf - day s'.udents are confined to their half. If they dare to venture to the "dorm side' they are promptly told they do not belong there and will have to move. Agreed - dorm students pour more money into the 0:>llege than do day students, but is that the reason for the partiality? It is hard to believe that the College is suddenly becoming mercenary and stepping on people's toes to get to the top. The administration may not be deeply concerned with the fact that students' cars are actually ruined by being backed into or by trying to get out of mud or ruts that reach their hubcaps. With each season comes a different problem. When the buildings on Wright Street were torn down in November, the entire parking area was gone over by what seemed to have been a tractor.

The students who will attend are Jim Jenkins, president; Mike Konnick; Jim Lasouski; Dennis Quigley; Leslie Tobias; Don Ungemah; and Bob Zebrowski. Each school attending will represent a member of the United Nations and must be prepared to present the views of that country on the topics discussed. This year the College's delegation will represent Kuwait, a small oil-rich nation on the Persian Gulf. In previous years, the College has represented Finland, the Do'minican Republic, the United State&, the Republic of South Africa, and the Congo. The Assembly will be concerned with current problems facing the United Nations, universal literacy, colonization, Charter revisi,<:>n and review, United Nations finances, disarmament, Communist China, Cyprus, Malaysia, and human rights. Kuwait was chosen by the CCUN because its members wanted to present views other than those of the United States. Kuwait is non-aligned, a member of the Afro-Asian group, and votes with either major power bloc. Therefore, the country does not always agree with United States policy.

Not for long, however; the Mercedes, when the smoke cleared, shifted into fourth and was soon on the Aston 's tail again. Pushing a different button, the driver of the pursued car glanced back to see the other car swerve dangerously on the oil slick he had just ejected from his left taillight. The Mercedes, again making a speedy recovery , showed its prowess by not only closing in behind his quarry , but also drawing up alongside the first car, a fatal mistake.

" I never got the drink, but my subconscious received and nurtured a seed labeled "help." I decided to find out more about it. Naturally, I didn't want to ask anyone, so I consulted my college catalogue. "Students may apply directly to the Consultation Service for aµpointments or may arrange for consultation through the Deans' Office." The former prerogative was my overwhelming choice. After all, I didn 't want the Dean to know. But where was the Consultation Service? Summoning a great deal of courage, I approached the Information Desk in Ch'lse Hall, opened my mouth, turned yellow, and lied in a low whisper, "I am writing an article for the Beacon on the College's Consultation Service. How do I get in contact with the department?" The petite, young secretary bellowed across the room, "Betty, what's the extension number of Dr. Sears?" I was mortified. I just knew everyone was looking at me. They weren 't. "Dial 65. The analyst's office 1s m the back of Sturdevant Hall, you know."

I understand you are a psychiatrist, or a psychologist, or an analyst, or something." Miss Frances Sears is correctly called a social worker. She resides in Scranton and has been on the Administrative Staff of Wilkes for the past MISS FRANCIS SEARS ten years. Her undergraduate days were spent at Barnard, and for her master's degree she attended Columbia University School of Social Werk and New York University. Psychiatric social work was her field of specialization . She came to the College with experience from the Family Service Association and the Child Psychiatric and Guidance Center of Scranton. It was in this second capacity that she acquired her interest in young adults.

The competition is a preliminary to the Miss Pennsylvania and Miss America pageants.

The winner of the Miss Pennsylvania title will be given the opportunity to win some of the numerous scholarships t o t a I i n g $35,000 and the title of Miss America at the national pageant in Atlantic City.

To fulfill this objective, programs will be presented at the club meetings by persons in various fields of mathematics. Lack of Understanding "Many young people do not have much understanding of psychological services. But I also feel that a college st 11dent should be mature enough to realize when he needs help. Thus, the very act of coming to me of his own free will is a healthy attitude." The question often arises in the student's mind whether he should go to Miss Sears or to someone else. "Many like the feeling of staying within the campus. Others may prefer to talk to a member of their family , or a physician, or a clergyman, but these people have not had the same training in counseling; they cannot help and then step out. But this is one of the assets of my position, for my objectivity helps the student in being frank." The basis to Miss Sears' treatment is weekly meetings. When someone first goes to the office, they set up a time for appointments which will be convenient on the same day and at the same hour every week. Needless to say, everything that is said during appointments is kept strictly confidential. Miss Sears will talk over particular situations with no one without the student's consent. Only if the student so requests will parents be c;onsulted, and he has the right to sit in on the conference. Occasionally, a student may be referred to a local psychiatrist for evaluation when Miss Sears feels the need of another opinion. His report is sent to her and usually she continues the treatment. Sometimes Joseph Kanner of the psychology department will give a battery of tests that will aid in evaluation. The length of time which a student might continue to see Miss Sears is (Continued on page 4) Two Profs Present Two Modern Plays Boyd Earl, advisor, has noted that the club members expressed a desire to keep the format of the club on an informal level. No offi-cers have been selected . In order to keep the club from becoming a social organization, meetings will be held only when a program has been arranged. Since the organization is academic and primarily concerned with providing extra material in the area of mathematics, the organization will not be fund-raising. At the initial meeting a program was selected, which will meet next week to make arrangements for the upcoming programs. Members of the committee are Jerry Cybulski and Robert Pritchard, seniors; Irene Dominguez and Phil Cheifetz, juniors; Susan West and Alice Frundut, sophomores.

Miss Sears makes it clear that she gives no academic counseling, but she knows a great deal about it in order to help students in related areas. fl,owever, a student often wants to discuss his difficulties in making a choice of vocation, and this sometimes requires encouraging him to explore his fields of interest. Being the College's only student consultant has caused another problem for Miss Sears. It. is the unfortunate situation of having a waiting list. "However, no student in an emergency is turned away." The initial step must be voluntary from the student, though. A Dean or a faculty member will often help the student make the first appointment, but only when the student is willing to go. Miss Lois Kutish, vice-president of T .D.R., was chosen queen of this year's Valentine semi-formal recently held at Genetti's Ballroom. The queen was crowned and presented a lei of orchids by Dolores Chickanosky, president of T.D.R. Miss Kutish , who was chairman of the semi-formal, is an elementary education major. She is captain of the majorettes, vice-president of W.A.A. and has served as senior counselor. Herbie Green provided the music for the romantic and exotic "Polynesian Paradise".

The Jewish Community will present two one-act plays from the theatre of the absurd on February 27, 28, and March I. The first play, written by Edward Albee, author of Who's Afraid of Virqinia Woolfe, is The Zoo Story. David Fendrick and Fred Harrison star and are directed by Joseph Salsburg. Fendrick is a member of the College's English department, and Mr. Salsburg is a member of the mathematics department. The theme of the play is the inability of people to communicate with each other. The two men act out the entire play in a park bench scene. The second play, written by the Irish ex-patriot Samuel Beckett and entitled Krapp's Last Tape, contains the solitary character Krapp , played by Joseph Salsburg and directed by David Fendrick. The theme is the lack of continuity in human development and the complete lack of understanding between the man today and the man of the past. As the play opens, the elderly man is listening to a tape which he made of his thoughts and opinions 30 years ago. He cannot understand the man which he was at that time contrasted to the man he is today. The plays will be presented in Weiss Auditorium at the J.C.C. at 9 p.m. on the three nights; admission for college students will be 75 cents. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Friday, February 19, 1965 Artists Exhibit Various Media on Campus The College library has recently added a glittering interest to all students, faculty members, and people of the community. This exhibit of art in the silver medium is located in the display case on the first floor opposite the checking desk. The display has been successfully placed there for the purpose of attracting observers from the various fi elds at the College. These pieces of silverwork were selected by Anthony Evangelista, art instructor, who initiated this course last semester. The students previously worked .only with copper in making jewelry, and Mr. Evangelista believes that the "students met a tremendous challenge for their first attempt in overcoming the difficulties of working with silver." He continued to explain that the silver is given to the students from slabs or small sheets, and also in rolls of thin , silver wire. The use of jewels, · - · wood, and ivorv, which Mr. Evangelista obtains for the students, enhances the brilliance of the silver. The pieces are designed in several techniques , includifi g applique, pierced, and linear and wire-end approaches. He also pointed out that these techniques were the "only means by which each student creates his hand-wrought expressions in developing aestheticallybeautiful and practically-functional work." One interesting aspect of this work in silver is the fact that the majority of the students taking this new course are not art majors, reflecting, according to Mr. Evangelistia, " the tremendous interest and enthusiasm throughout the campus." Nancy Czubek and Bob Ford will present their art work in the last of a series .of senior art exhibits starting Monday, February 22. Every senior art major participates in at least one of these e.xhibits during the year.

When asked about his experience in counter-intelligence, he replied evasively, '1t's classified." After leaving the Army, he accepted a post as a civil agent in Puerto Rico. Mr. Kay later taught at the University of Michigan, and was a graduate assistant at Ohio State. At the present tim e he is working toward his Ph .D .: his topic for dissertation, Immanuel Kant, has been approved and is in the process of completion .

It is interesting to note that the statements in that article seem to cover a wide spectrum of difficulties, but actually most of them can be grouped into two general categories. ' Often even these two groups are closely intertwined to the impossibility of isolating single causes. "The first, and perhaps the broadest, area of problems is dissatisfaction with relationships with people, both adults and those in their own age group. Here are the difficulties which arise problem. But the stiffness of competition is sometimes overmagnified because the students are more aware of it since they a re in a larger, more select group than they w ere with in high school."

It was the first win for the Colonels swimmers after three consecutive losses and their second win in seven meets this season. Throughout the meet the Wilkes mermen outsparkled PMC as evidenced by their placing first in 8 out of 11 events, including two firsts by Heesch; one each by Carsman, Petrillo, and Barnes; and two team firsts in both relay events.

Because the YMCA lacks a scoring board, many spectators at the Wilkes swimming meets are usually in the dark as to the score unless announcements are made periodically. Scoring a swimming meet is very easy and the brief sketch below should be of help. Fran Olexy Shines; Former St. Champ Ices Wilkes Win In any swimming meet there are eleven events. Two of the events are relays while nine events are individual races with a maximum of two men entered from each scRool. A school may enter only one team in a relay event, the winner of which receives seven points, and the loser none. The first event is the 400-yard medley relay. This relay consists of four men, each one swimming leg of I 00 yards apiece in the following order: backstroke, breast-stroke, butterfly, and freestyle. a The next nine events are: 200yard freestyle , 50-yard freestyle, 200yard individual medley, springboard diving, 200-yard butterfly, 100-yard freestyle, 200-yard backstroke, 500yard freestyle, and the 200-yard breast-stroke. With four men entered in each event, two from each team, the following scoring is used: first place - 5 points; second place - 3 points; third place - I point. Page 5 "OLD TIMERS" REUNION BEBE; ANTINNES TO RECEIVE AWARD John Reese, director of athletics and wrestling coach at the College, has designated tomorrow evening as "Old Timers' Night". Leading off the events for the evening will be the introduction of former Colonel wrestlers at the wrestling-basketball doubleheader. The Wilkes wrestling team meets Dickinson at 7 p.m. and the cagers vie with Moravian at 8:30 p.m. Highlighting festivities will be the presentation of a trophy for "Wrestler of the Decade" to Marv Antinnes, now a local wrestling coach. Antinnes compiled an enviable record in his four years at Wilkes. Over-all, Antinnes produced 36 wins, losing only once in dual-meet competition, and securing 19 of the victories on falls. The single loss came in the third meet of his freshman year. As a freshman, Antinnes was the Middle Atlantic Conference Runner-up in the 167-pound class. The following year, he captured the 167-pound title. In his junior and senior years, Antinnes copped the MAC crowns and was twice runner-up in the Wilkes Open, wrestling in the 177 -pound class. Finally, Antinnes was the 177pound NAIA Small College champion as a junior. Following the introduction and presentation ceremonies, the wrestlers will be entertained at a banquet at the Kingston House. Reese plans to show a film which will be made up of excerpts from past wrestling meets. A special point system is used in determining the winner of the diving event. Each diver performs f ] equired dive, plus five optional dives - a total of six in all. Any particular dive has a degree of difficulty. For example, the back dive, tuck position, is rated 1.6, while the forward double somer- present may then rate an executed sault, pike position, is rated 2.0. After dive, for example, as five, four and each dive the two or three judges five. This total, in this case fourteen, is multiplied by the degree of difficulty of the dive. If the diver executed the forward double somersault, pike position with a difficulty of 2.0, and the judges total was fourteen, the diver would receive twenty-eight points for the dive. The number of points for all six dives determines the first, second or third place for the event. The final event is the 400-yard freestyle relay. Four swimmers from each team swim a leg of 100 yards apiece, all using the freestyle. As with the first event, the winner of this relay receives seven points. A running account of the points from the separate events is kept, and the total at the end determines the winner.

The Lycoming encounter was the first stiff competition the Colonels have faced since Ithaca. The win was the sixth in a row for the Wilkes team. The Colonels' victory had many highlights, including a pin by Dave Hall in the 167-pound class with one second to go in the match and Francis Olexy 's draw in the heavyweight class. Hall remained undefeated, along with Ned McGinley and John Carr, by pinning Drange. The pin was the third registered by Hall this season, with two of his victories coming by defaults. Olexy. substituting for injured Bill Tinney, turned in one of the finest performances seen in a long while. Spotting Lycoming 's Pete Goguts a 55-pound weight advantage, Olexy gave up a neutral to Goguts and escaped to a neutral himself in securing the deadlock, with most of the action taking place from the standing position. Olexy was under added pressure, since a win by Goguts would have meant a loss for the Colonels. The charges of coach John Reese had to finish strong to produce the win . Ned McGinley led off with a win for the Colonels, but Lycoming took three of the next four bouts and settled for a draw to take an 11-5 lead with three bouts remaining. The Colonels copped the final three bouts to prevail. RESULTS: 123 - McGinley (W) D . Samuels 3-1. 130 - Mitchell (L) D . Kiefer, 5-0. 137 - Knoebel (L) D.

Since Coach Reese joined the Wilkes staff in 1955, he has molded championship teams and many outstanding individual talents. The teams Reese has coached have been consistent winners and currently his team boasts a 6-1 record with three matches remaining. Coach Reese is a 1945 graduate of Kingston High School, where he began his wrestling career. He wrestled 4. 147 - Stauffer (W) and Lorence three years for Kingston, winning in District meets and reaching the semidrew at 4-4. 157 - Bachardy ( L) D. Cook, 6-2 . finals in state competition.

He studied a year there Goguts drew at 1-1. and then left to enter Penn State University where he continued on to be graduated with a B.S. in Physical Education. Reese proved to have a talent for wrestling while at college. Four times he won the "YMCA Invitational Tournament", the forerunner of the "Wilkes Invitational", was outstanding wrestler one year, won in the MACAAU divisions in 1947, and placed third in the Eastern Regional Tournament. In 1951 Reese was graduated from Penn State University and joined the faculty of Kingston High School. his alma mater, and taught there two years. As wrestling coach, he molded winning teams that took first in districts both years he was there. In 1955 he assumed a full time position at Wilkes, coaching soccer, wrestling and baseball. Coach Reese demonstrated his talent for bringing out the potential in good wrestlers when he and his grapplers took MAC honors from 1957 through 1961. The teams' record from 1955 is astounding to the Wilkes sports fan. The statistics speak for themselves: 1955-56 (9-1); 1956-57 (10-0-1) ; 195758 (9-1); 1962-63 (5-3); 1963-64 (5-21) . In his time Reese has coached 13 Middle Atlantic Conference Champions. Coach Reese is proud of all the wrestlers on his past and present teams. Reese explains that you need a wonderful attitude and tremendous desire to win to make the deciding factor in matches. Reese states that he is finding it difficult to keep the same team every year, because of the number of out-of-town boys on the team, consequently, making it difficult to build the certain attitude and pride that trademarked our past. This may be true, but this year's team is heading for MAC honors if it keeps on its current pace. Reese is a member of the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association and has served as Director of the Wilkes Blood Donor Drive. He is presently wrestling editor of the sports magazine Mentor. Mr. Reese reflects the type of coach needed to produce a winning team .

Dickinson was defeated by1 Moravian last year by a score of 18-8. while Wilkes swamped the Moravian team 31-5. Dickinson does not seem to offer much of a threat this season, and M:>ravian appears to be no stronger this season than last. The Greyhounds of Moravian ,do have Dave Wilson and Dave Mucka back in the line-up at 130-pounds and 177-pounds, respectively. Wilson was 8-2 last season .;nd Mucka was 8-1. Mucka, however, will probably be forced to contend with John Carr, since the Greyhounds are required to send their man to the mats firsts.

Because of this lack of communication between Cue 'n Curtain and Student Government, the fine was levied as a warning to Cue 'n Curtain and as an example of what would result if a similar situation in the future should occur. Student Government does not profit by this disciplinary fine , since the money originally was allotted by it to Cue 'n Curtain. Also, Cue 'n Curtain did not submit an activities form for the plays last weekend. Ron Czajkowski, calendar committee chairman, stressed that it is the responsibility of organization presidents to obtain and submit a form. He supplies the forms only as a service. Ordinarily, the forms can be obtained from Arthur Hoover's secretary in Chase' Hall, not from Student Government itself. Student Government also decided that the ruling not allowing an excess of three absences a semester will be enforced retroactive to the beginning of this semester. Those representatives who already have three absences will be considered as having only two, with a warning not to miss more than one meeting during the remainder of the semester.

The second play, directed by Fendrick, has as its only character, Joseph Salsburg. The title of this play is Krapp's Last Tape, and was written by Samuel Beckett. The Zoo Story was written by Edward Albee, and both plays are from the theatre of the absurd.

Although, in all honesty, the food quality and sanitary conditions have improved since the so-called "riot" that the author cites. The glaring need for parking facilities was discussed, but this is not a problem solely confined to day students.

As far as the "run of the cafe" goes, we dorm students have no choice as to where we eat. Day students have the Commons, the new snack bar, plus the stores in town. Since we are paying for our meals in the cafe, why should we pay again just to eat in town? If it is preferable that Wilkes remain strictly a day student college, then why are dorm students encouraged to attend? It seems to us that the dorm students are the ones who are giving Wilkes a name in more areas outside of this state.

Most dorm students are cognizant of this fact before they purchase their parking stickers ( $15 a semester) . Yet, they are willing to tackle the above obstacles for the privilege, and it is a privilege (confined to juniors and seniors), of parking their cars in the lot. No Guarantee The form that each individual receives before the parking sticker is issued clearly stipulates that the student is "not guaranteed" a parking space. Yet, day students still pay their $6 to park. What do the day students expect for this momentous amount - the Ritz Plaza complete with fountains? The $900 plus collected helps defray the cost of rental and maintenance (of a sort) that the administration pays for the parking facilities . As for the insinuations that the parking lot money is being used for the benefit of dorm students or otherwise absorbed by the administration, I hardly think that anyone is going to become financially independent, or perform drastic innovations on a sum amounting to something less than $1000. Further favoritism shown the dorm students - If the writer had taken an appraisal of the dorms or solicited opinions from some of the members of the male dorms, he or she could not possibly feel that dorm students are "favored". The condition of some of the male dormitories is completely opposed to the image that Weckesser, 36 West River, or Slocum Hall presents to the public as the showplaces of the College. If one judges by surface appearances, these are the epitome of all Wilkes dormitories.

While other classes met, the sophomore class held an informal social gathering conducted under the rules of parliamentary procedure. Seventy-seven conscientious students attended. Where were the other class members? Some did not know that there were class meetings - a problem easily rectified. Others had a big test to study for - or should I say cram. Anyway, where did these grade-conscious pupils consume their valuable time? Perhaps in a "study" room, or that bell-ridden place - the cafeteria. Many had to work in order to pay the rising costs of higher education. A few were in 11'..0urning, for they had just buried their favorite goldfish. May the Lord have pity on them and give them strength. Still others attended in proxy, while the remainder maintained their flippant attitude and just did not care. In a recent Beacon (February 5, an article entitled " Government by the Majority " appeared. In it Sam Baccanari said that there is nothing unusual about minority influence. Can we, the Class of '67, afford minority domination? 1965) (Continued from page 2) DORMIES DISPUTE FAVOR We've worked with IOC to try and organize various activities to join the day and dorm students, but it is apparent by last week's letters that you are not interested. The first meeting of the Day Council boasted a total of four people! Is this any indication of how you feel about Wilkes? We love Wilkes and are proud to be students here, regardless of what you think. We have worked hard for "our school". You see, we don't feel like we're " foreigners" here. Thirteen Women from Sturdevant Hall At the class meeting, an issue was brought forward. Let us look at the history of the committee behind it. Having originated the issue, the committee presented to the class president a paper with its goals and purposes. It received the "go ahead". Later they informed the president that the committee had "'punked out". Ed Pashinski was given the idea that the issue was " dead ", when at the meeting the head of this committee took the Boor and presented the issue with the committee President Salutes Best Dressed Coed In Glamour Contest behinc:\ him. When asked a question they replied, "That's no longer on" and "oh, we just changed that". Is it right to change the whole plan and not inform the president of the change? Does this committee have another idea behind the issue at hand? Pue they trying to gain power? To take over control of the class? To overthrow the class government? Many students on campus have been members of varsity athletic teams. They know that a great team is composed of many individual efforts. Let us, the students of Wilkes College and especially the members of the Class of '67 learn from others' experience, cast away the veil of unroncem, and expose the blinding radiance of a unified effort. In the future the sophomores will be asked to make a great decision.

As a student of the College, I must say that I was thoroughly ashamed of the actions of the so-called 'students of Wilkes College'. It was as though Bashing the name "Wilkes College" across the screen while those wild antics were going on made the exhibition more and more farcical each time, for their actions were certainly not connotative of college students. I hope that the students who were on the show had the decency to feel ashamed of themselves, their actions, and their physical appearance. I also hope that viewers in the Valley did not get the impression that all Wilkes students were represented Friday. I am ashamed for them and of them. Another Representative To Make· A Mockery Dear Editor: We, as Wilkes College students, would like to protest against those who use our College as a means to satisfy their own selllsh ends. This past weekend a group of so-called students put themselves on display under the name of Wilkes College. Wilkes has established a fine reputation both in and out of our community. After so many have worked so hard tor this, we feel that this group has no right to publicize their "actions" as typical of our students. Furthermore, some of these people do not attend Wilkes College. A few of these "students" in the group participated in a contest which necessarily carries with it dignity and poise. In our opinion they certainly did not possess these qualities. The only thing this group accomplished was to make a mockery of the College. We believe something should be done to counter-act this image. Marietta Cefalo Cathy Turanski (Continued from Page 2) DORMIE MOURNS Now let us view a typical male dormitory. Open to almost anyone wishing to enter, the dormitory offers its treasures, just for the asking, to any individual courageous enough to attempt to acquire them. Most rooms are without locks. Any agile individual wishing to do so is capable of browsing through the rooms. If anything meets his fancy , and no one is around, he can politely help himself. Repeated efforts to request locks for the rooms are of no avail. Maintenance seems to have acquired hearing difficulties in relation to these requests. The dorm students continue to suffer financial losses through the pilferings. The plush carpeting and pastel shaded walls are another incentive for dormitory students. The dorm furniture, reminiscent of Early Attic, further mirrors the gorgeous decor. Some dormitories do contain some form of recreational equipment supplied by the College, but many do not. One dorm in particular, has a piano that is in such decrepit condition - completely devoid of keys - that it is more representative of a harp enclosed in a wooden box than a piano. However, the area where dorm students are favored to the greatest degree is in the sanitary facilities available . . . twenty-Ave individuals sharing the facilities of three bathrooms - two with showers . . . can be quite a sight, es pecially if everyone decides to avail himself of the facilities at once. The dorm students are willing and, perhaps, even eager to pay the cost of these minimal facilities, for the cost is also minimal. It is a decided convenience for the dorm students to room and board at the school, and I, for one, am thankful that such facili ties are available. I could continue to enumerate, practically "ad infinitum" all the other favors allocated to the much "favored" dorm students, but I will be content with the above list and close for now. Sincerely yours, A "favored dormie" Stephen J. Gavala Saroyan Misinterpreted; Blue Wrung True by David Stout "Tm lon esome as a coyote." In Cue 'n Curtain 's recent presentation of William Saroyan's one-act tragedy HeUQ Out There, directed by Sumner Hayward, this s:mile expressed the motivating theme of loneliness which none of the players seemed capable of conveying to the audience. A young man, wrongly accused of rape, has been jailed in what seems to be one of those stereotyped southern towns (Matador, Texas) where unreasoning obstinacy seethes with precipitancy beneath a lethargic veneer of peace. He is scared. He is alone in the world. No one cares if he is to be lynched. It is night. He hears a 11.Qise in the empty jailhouse and calls, "Hello, out there." The answer comes from the girl who cleans and cooks for a prisoner, "when there is one." Everyone had left but she came back to look, to listen, perhaps to talk. No one in the town talks to her; they laugh. She is lonely. The young man tells her that she is the prettiest girl he ever saw. When he gets out he is going to marry her and take her to San Francisco where people will turn and look when she walks by. To help him she runs home to steal her father's pistol as protection for him against lynchers. She returns too late. The husband of the woman who framed the young man has shot him. The wife slaps the girl to the Boor and the lynchers exit with the body. She sobs, stops, looks up and calls, "Hello, out there." The curtain answers. Andrew Thorburn brought to the role of the Young Man a dramatic voice and the necessary restlessness of being caged, but little else. He paced the cell , rattled a spoon, clutched at bars; he ordered imperiously, shouted de@antly, reasoned persuasively, and promised convincingly. He put Eldorado in his tone whenever he said, "San Francisco. " He lacked, however, ( perhaps a director's error) the occasional hollow, whimper of despair that would have revealed his essential loneliness. It was in this revelation that his plight would have been transported in our minds from sad to tragic. Elizabeth Slaughter, as the Girl, overcame the handicap of many short, often monosyllabic, lines to present the pathetic picture of a girl who clutched for a dream, "hoping it might be so," and then lost it through n,-o fault of her own. Her role was made more difficult when occasionally Thorburn himself seemed not to believe the sweet-talk he was handing her. At these times he lapsed into a conversational tone and the audience smiled. Miss Slaughter's following lines of naive, hungry acceptance broadened the smiles. She captured, however, Thorburn's San Francisco hope and echoed it in a voice of poignant optimism. Her initial shyness, which failed to convey a sense of loneliness, melted before her mounting faith. Unfortunately, when her dream was shattered, she uttered her last line in grief and not in a return to desolation. Thus, we pity her, but we cannot cry. In a very small part, Lynne Mallory was overwhelmingly effective as the sluttish shrew who framed the young man. She spit out her lines with such hateful contempt that we wish her part had been larger, preferably at the ex- pense of her husband's role, underWhen the curtain parted, Miss vious Cue 'n Curtain productions was whelmingly attempted by Steve Davis.

He has received the "All-American Scholarship Award", which is the highest award offered by Wear-Ever, and was presented with a $500 scholarship. The College also received $500 from the company. Brannon is the first student from Northeastern Pennsylvania to win this award. The Lettermen's Club recently sponsored their annual dance, the Cherry Tree Chop. Bob Weston was master of ceremonies at intermission activities, which included the pie-eating and log-sawing contests. Contestants in the pieeating competition were Joe Chanecka and Dr. Harold Cox. Chanecka won, and his reward was throwing the remainder of the pile in Dr. Cox's face. In the log-sawing contest, Dean Ralston teamed with Dr. Cox against Tom Trosko and Ed Comstock. The Lettermen won, although the opposing team felt that the Lettermen had a decided advantage in a sharper saw. The event was sponsored to pay half tuition for an incoming freshman; selection of the student is based on scholarship need and athletic ability. SPONGA REPRESENTS NEPIC; STRESSES COMMUNITY NEEDS The Northeastern Pennsylvania Independent College Council was represented yesterday before the State Board and Council of Higher Education by Reverend Edward J. Sponga, S. J., president of the University of Scranton and chairman of the Conference of Northeastern Pennsylvania Independent Colleges. The colleges in question are : College Misericordia, King 's, Wilkes, University of Scranton, Keystone Junior College, Marywood, and Lackawanna Junior College . The Council has recognized that the percentage of high school graduates in our area who go on to college is quite low - 28.8% in 1963. Reverend Sponga stated that this percentage seems even lower in comparison to the State average of 32.5% and the national average of 50%. This deficiency is due in part to the incapability of IDC Arranges Hampton Exchange; Seminar Planned A representative group of students will journey to Virginia, in the annual exchange program between Hampton Institute and Wilkes on the weekend of April 1-4. Sponsored by I.D.C. under the auspices of the administration, the program is designed to promote understanding of the problems of others and to provide a notable experience that cannot be obtained by mere academic studies, which both colleges feel arc essential to a well-rounded education.

Schools in the area already offer technical-terminal and baccalaureate parallel courses. The area is well served by independent colleges, so further expansion of this type of college is not needed, as is being done by the State University. Thus the Council suggests that taxsupported institutions be projected only after a critical evaluation of local educational needs and an investigation of the resources of existing colleges is made. Duplication involves the waste of taxpayers' money.

The game is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. The Wilkes grapplers seem to be gaining strength with every meet. In their last outing, the high-flying matmen won their eighth straight in downing Dickinson College 30-0. The shutout was the Colonels' third this year. Ned McGinley, Dave Hall and John Carr remained undefeated in dual meet competition. McGinley started the ball rolling in the 123-pound class by pinning John Euler in 5:25. Hall followed suit by disposing of Dickinson 's Cranshaw in 5:20. Carr was forced to go the full nine minutes, taking a 6-1 decision over John Rhody. Vic Altonen turned in the quickest fall of the evening, pinning his opponent in 2: 17, while Bill Stauffer scored 15 points in winning the decision in his bout at 147. The Colonels finish the regular season on the road , traveling to Moravian tomorrow. The time of the meet is scheduled for 8 p .m.

The Colonels seemed to have a new spirit in the opening moments of play, but the strength of the Lions soon poured forth and smothered all attempts of the Colonels to make a game of it. The final score was 97-66, with Albright's Mike Klahr dumping in 20 point,s in the first half and finishing the evening as high man with 28 tallies. Dale Nicholson led the Wilkesmen with 19, and Jim Smith had 13 points. Wilkes closes out its season on Monday against Philadelphia Pharmacy in the gym .

Last year's will be the Skyscrapers. Independent . . title holders swept through the season undefeated, with runner-up Ashley Hall two games off the pace. Wednesday 's game gives promise of one. of the most exciting games this year and the student body is urged to attend in support of the teams. Schmidt Needs Pitching Power a .500 percentage with an 8-8 record, one of the best logs in the history of the College. Rollie Schmidt, head baseball coach, called an organizational meet on Tuesday to lay plans for the coming season. Schmidt commented that the turnout of 40 candidates was one of the largest responses since he took up his coaching duties at the College. Commenting further , Schmidt expressed the need for players at every position. He has lost two-thirds of his outfield, half his infield, half his pitching saff and his starting catcher from last season 's team. The team posted With the opener set against Susquehanna, Wilkes will try its mettle early, since the Crusaders will be fresh from their Southern campaign. Much of the outcome will depend on the weather, and it is entirely possible that the Susquehanna game will be the Colonels' first venture into the outof-doors. The pitchers and catchers will be.gin their practicing on Monday at 4: 15 in the gym, with the rest of the squad to be called out on W ednesday , March 10.

SUMMER INSTITUTE IN BIOLOGY FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS PLANNED; FIRST OF ITS KIND IN N. E. PENNA. by Mary A. Quinn A summer institute in biology for secondary school teachers will be held this year at the College, the first science institute of this nature to be held in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The institute consists of a seven week program from Monday, July 5 to Friday, August 20, 1965. The program, which is sponsored by a $43,680 grant from the National Science Foundation, will involve no (or free) tuition for the participants and will carry a value of six credits, either graduate or undergraduate. During the seven weeks, the institute will be comprised of lectures, discussion-recitation, laboratory work, and field trips. The program is designed to meet the needs of the secondary school teacher of biology who has limited preparation in the field or no recent exposure to modern concepts in biological sciences. It is hoped that the courses in this program will present an intellectual challenge for these teachers by: assisting the participants in gaining the confidence and understanding of modern biological concepts that will enable them to stimulate high school students to con sideration of a career in biological science; providing these teachers with an opportunity to strengthen their backgrounds in biology; providing a program that can stimulate these teachers and motivate them to continue work toward an advanced degree; and giving the participants the opportunity to i:>ool and exchange information on curriculum developments, new teaching aids, science projects, and successful teaching techniques they have developed over the years in their own classrooms. McHale Elected SG Representative For Junior Class 985 Requests Although a total of 985 requests for application have already been received from all areas of the United S(ates, the institute will be limited to 40 participants for purposes of encouraging m a x i mu m participation. Final selection of the participants will he made by a committee consisting of the director, the associate director, and the staff members of the institute. Jerry McHale In a recent Student Government election , Jerry McHale was chosen to fifl the vacancy of Student Government representative from the junior class. With approximately 42 per cent of the class voting, McHale received 58 votes; Miss Tatz, 38; Cheifetz, 16; and Mocko, 13. Two write-ins, one for Schmidlap and one for Charles Petrillo, were recorded. McHale, who served as president of his class during his freshman year, is currently a member of the Accounting Club and the Debating Society. He will assume the responsibilities of his office immediately . Dr. Francis J. Michelini, professor of biology and dean of academic affairs at the College, will be director of the institute. Associate director will be Dr. Charles B. Reif, chairman of the department of biology. Assisting as instructors for the institute will be two other staff members at the College, Dr. Robert E. Ogren, associate professor of biology, and Dr. Grace C . Kimball, assistant professor of biology. Supervisor of the laboratory experiments will be Marilyn Williams, who is with the biology department at Highland Park High School, New Jersey. Institute staff members have been actively engaged in research for some time, with three programs sponsored by the National Science Foundation. line-up are Ron Czajkowski, Tom Trosko, Bill Schneider, John Cavallini, Gary Popovich, Ray Lowery, Roger MacLaughlin, Ron Grohowski, Owen Frances, Al Gilbert, Joe Chanecka, John Karpiak, Don Ungemah, Marshall Evans, and Chuck Freed. of dynamite until the ball is thrown into the middle of the floor.

Among the players on the Flashes' team will be Dean George Ralston, Dr. Francis Michelini, Boyd Earl, Dr. Harold Cox, and Girard Gaughan. Barbara Kempel, Margie Harris, Peggy Gee, Joni Kirschenbaum, and Marie Shutlock are the women students who will ride for the Stars. The men on that team's in the gym on Friday, March 12, promises, as in the past, to be an exciting, laugh-filled evening, at least for the spectators. Tickets cost one dollar for adults and 50 cents for children.

In discussing the situation with many other commuters, we all wondered what is going to happen to the day students when the constructi6n begins. Does the College plan to make Wilkes grow, mentally and physically, with dormies alone? Well - lots of luck! When local people and companies discover that Wilkes no longer encourages area students to apply, how much money will these local benefactors contribute? NOTHING! Why should area folks help educate those students from out-of-state? Why should they donate time and money to a school that doesn't care to accept their sons and daughters? OR PROVIDE PARKING? When one College official was questioned about the parking situation, the official remarked that we should get into car pools. That's a dandy Stark Hall Stays; So Does Mudhole; Remedy Offered Dear Editor: As a senior day student Veteran of the War of the Parking Lots (not without battle scars), I don 't have to wait too much longer before I'm awarded my Dented Purple Fender Badge ( for four years of survival). To prevent anyone else from receiving this cherished award, I wish to propose a solution to the parking problem. According to the rumors I have heard, there will be no student parking on campus next semester. If this is to be the case, I hope someone will give this some consideration. Off-hand I can think of nine public parking lots near the campus. Perhaps th e lot owners could be persuaded to allow a specific number of student cars to park in their lots. The students could make arrangements to use the public lots through the College. These arrangements would include: ( I ) a parking sticker, (2) assignment to a specific lot, and (3) a parking fee. The fee would be given to the lot owners to pay for a semester's parking. The sticker would identify the students' cars to the lot personnel and assignment to a certain lot would guarantee a parking place. This plan would eliminate many complaints about "no place to park" and free the lot(s) behind Gore Hall for dorm students. Thus, everyone would have a place to park. This might cost the students a little more; however, I think it would be worth the extra cost to have a guaranteed place to park. Furthermore. the issuing of parking space could be based more on need instead of desire. Those who can get to the College only by car would be issued a space, those who have other means available would not. This could cut down the number of cars and encourage more car pools. This plan will not meet with everyone's approval, but since we cannot blow up Stark Hall, perhaps it deserves some consideration . Dentedly yours. Jim Jenkins idea! But thanks to our talented IBM machine, this solution is IMPOSSIBLE! Do any of you honestly recognize your schedules when they are returned? Sometimes I think they changed my major! Several students from our town had a car pool HAD! This semester, I start at 11 a .m. three days, 10 a.m. another, and 1 p.m. on the other. My driver from last semester starts at 8 a.m. daily and finishes by 2 p.m. Needless to say, I'm not that ambitious to get up here at 8 a.m. and sit around for two to five hours when I could be comfortable SLEEPING at home. I don't think anyone is. Then maybe I should hitchhike home at 5 p.m. I wouldn't expect my driver to wait three hours when he could be home sleeping comfortably. I think the teachers should form car pools, They occupy about 14 times as many parking lots as the students do! Furthermore, being the devoted souls that they are, I'm sure they wouldn't mind sitting in their offices drinking coffee from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This would also provide several more office hours per week during which troubled students could visit these profs in order to solve the problems of the students. When the construction begins, and our mudhole or dust bowl. depending on the weather, is covered with concrete mixers, where do we park? I guess we don 't. In that case, I think all students who purchased parking stickers for Spring '65 should receive their money originally paid for parking. Besides this, all students should be reimbursed for tow charges and ruined shoes, not to mention the Hat tires caused by nails left from torndown buildings during the dust bowl season. I can hear all of the College officials telling me how fortunate I am that there is a college in the area which provides a great deal of financial assistance to its local students. But let me tell them how fortunate they are to receive the financial contributions they do from local people - and also the academic contributions they receive from the day students! Check the Dean's List nine out of ten are day students, not dormies! The day students are helpinq Wilkes attain its high rating What are the DORMIES doing? Anonymous " Day Hop " Chosen Elect Select Dear Editor: Since Mr. Stephen J. Gavala seemed to have missed the entire purpose of my article (Students Wallow in Mud Road), he therefore chose two relatively insignificant words to use as a subject for a 38 inch letter to the editor. The purpose of my article was to create an interest among students who are suffering because of the parking problem, not further split the dorm and day students as Mr. Gavala implies. Through his poor choice of subjects, he has reduced the parking problem to an unimportant point in my article; by misinterpretation he practically declared me to be an enemy of all dorm students. I referred to the dorm students as being 'favored sons' in two instances; as having the run of the caf and as having a special dorm students' council. Because of these reasons plus the fact that the College is planning for future dorm students and not present day students, I surmised that dorm students were favored. My conclusion was backed by the girls from Sturdevant Hall when they stated that dorm students arc more important and' pointed out the administration's partiality when they wrote, "We realize how frustrating it must be for you day students to be 'second best' ... " But they are not up on the facts since day students only want equality. Mr. Gaval~ wou)d like to know how I obtained my authority to judge partiality - I got it through _fxperience. _When dealing with t_he_ problem of food, !\:fr. Gavala states that day . students can eat anywhere they want to while dormies cannot. This 1s nd1culous for the simple reason that when eatmg in a restaurant or the caf a dorm student is required to pay the same amount as a day student. Students are not carded as being day or dor~ .before they are served any food . Also, a dorm student can go through a certain administrative cycle and not pay for his meals, therefore not having to eat at the caf. As far as day students not being and dormies being restricted in the caf - this is definitely false. I myself have been asked to leave the dorm side, yet have seen dormies (trays and all) on the day students' side. Therefore Mr. Gavala's statement has no truth. Et tu, Sturdevant Hall. • When Mr. Gavala cites the dormitory conditions, he has completely neglected the subject at hand. I am, as was Mr. Gavala up till this point, talking about problems that can be alleviated. Crowded conditions in dormitories is not a problem but a fact. It is the same with more than 99 per cent of all colleges and universities. This condition is a part of being a dorm student and is as much fun (so I have been informed by dormies) as it is trouble.

Co-author of the book is Leroy Alitz, wrestling coach at the U .S. Military Academy at West Point. Prior to the agreement, PrenticeHall, the largest publishing firm . in the field of college textbooks, sertt out copies of the original manuscript to coaches all over the country. The purpose of this action was to obtain reviews and comments - to test the product before selling it. On the basis of these reviews and comments Prentice-Hall decided to publish the efforts of Coaches Reese and Alitz. Scheduled to appear on the shelves this autumn, the book is the first work on wrestling to be published by Prentice-Hall. Barras Believes Faith In God A Moral Necessity by Charlotte Wetzel Featured in a recent assembly was Dr. Abraham D . Barras of the department of philosophy and religion , who spoke on the topic of brotherhood in our contemporary society. Drawing on the philosophies of Darwin, Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud, Dr. Barras illustrated the course of the degeneration of human worth. Following the study of the thinking of these men and their effects on this degeneration, Dr. Barras began with Darwin and his theory of the survival of the fittest. Nietzche, working on this basis, contributed his doctrine of power, or the idea that might makes right . Adding to this chain reaction in thought was Marx, who developed his economic dialectic; that is, that life is nothing more than a constant struggle between social classes. At this point the human being has already deteriorated to an economic machine. The last observation made by the speaker was in regard to a phil06,';>pher who also contributed to the decline of human value-namely, Freud, who stated that human actions arc determined by hidden motives and instincts over which the individual has no control. Therefore, relying .on his deterministic philosophy, he believed that the individual had no real moral choice. At this point in his speech, Dr. Barras brought to the fore the JudeoChristian tradition, which upholds the doctrine that man is a child of God with supreme and transcendent worth. Consequently, no individual can be used as a means to someone else's end. He then asserted that no human life is expendable . Belief in God Dr. Barras indicated that the concept of the worth of the individual and reverence for life is based on the belief in God, who is the source of morality . In conclusion , he queried, "' Without a faith in God, upon what secure foundation can we establish the inv iolability of man 's dignity and ul timate worth? A faith in God is the only guarantor o f a morality not subject to expediency and manipulation.

Tuesday, and Thursday evenings John Reese Since joining the staff at the College in 1955, Coach Reese has molded championship teams and many individual talents. His matmen have been consistent winners, and the current team ended the season boasting a 9-1 record. The basis for Mr. Reese's authority to write a book on wrestling is the teams' overall record since 1955 of seventy-seven wins, ten losses, and five draws - not to mention the fact that his grapplers had a monopoly on MAC honors from 1957 to 1961, and that he has coached 13 Middle Atlantic Conference Champions. Former Wrestler A former wrestler himself, Coach Reese was district champion and state semi-finalist in his high school days . While at college he was fourtime winner of the YMCA Invitational Tournament, the forerunner of the College's own "Rose Bowl of Wrestling " , was outstanding wrestler one year, won in the MAC-AAU divisions in 194 7, and placed third in the Eastern Regional Tournament. In addition to his duties at the College , Mr. Reese is a member of the American Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association and has served as director of the College's Blood Donor Drive. He is presently wrestling editor of the sports magazine Mentor. In view of the fact that Coach John Reese has now written a book, his friend and associate, Arthur J. Hoover, is standing by to receive the award as "Author of the Year". To quote Mr. Hoover, "I am prepared .to gloat when I receive the award, just as I did last year in being chosen 'Coach of the Year' instead of Mr. Reese. And I didn't even have to win a meet!" Frosh Asked To Return Orientation March 13 Set For Evaluation Sheets All freshmen who have not · returned their orientation evaluations Peace Corps Tests are requested to do so immediately. The Peace Corps Placement Test will be given in the Wilkes-Barre Post Office on March 13. The only prerequisite for taking the test is the completion of a Peace Corps questionnaire, which must be taken to the test unless previously submitted. To obtain a questionnaire or further in formation on the test or the Peace Corps itself, see Arthur J. Hoover in Chase Hall. Robert Capin, newly appointed director of evening and summer college, has announced the institution of an improved and expanded summer program at the College. Two six-week sessions will be offered during the morning, and one-eight-week session during the evening. It is necessary that these evaluations. which were sent out to all freshmen who completed their first semester, be returned so that the orientation committee can reassess the program in the light of the comments and criticisms received. "Since the committee must soon begin its work on the program for next year, " stated Arthur J. Hoover, assistant dean. " I urge all freshmen to return these letters. I would also like to encourage them to come to my office in Chase Hall to comment on their orientation experiences personally ." many departments. Registration for both the six week and the eight-week sessions will be conducted during the week of June 8 through 12. A five dollar fee will be assessed for late registration. Those students planning to attend summer college should make a trial registration at the same time that they register for the next semester with their advisors. The above information constitutes the beginning of a new program that will afford students the opportunity for year-round education in order to enable them to accelerate their educational programs so that they may embark upon their career or enter graduate school at an earlier date. Cooperation of the student body is necessary and vital to make this progr~ success. Dormitory and dining facilities will be available. Additional information concerning these facilities can be obtained from the Summer College Office. Detailed copies of the information for summer college can be obtained in Chase Hall and at the Summer College Office in Parrish Hall, room 4. Research Project Granted $15,000 Dr. H. Beecher Charmbury, state secretary of the Department of Mines and Mineral Industries, announced that the Wilkes College Research and Graduate Center has received $15,000 for the continuation of a special research project. The study will investigate the effectiveness of ozone in removing contaminants from mine drainage. The process under study involves the removal of iron and manganese from acid mine drainage through the use of ozone and carbon or coal filters. Hoover Discusses Aid Program Once again there will be a Financial Aid Seminar for those students seeking to renew their scholarships or student loans and for those applying for the first time. Scholarship renewal forms and applications for National Defense Student Loans will be avail able at this seminar which will be held at two different times - Monday, March 29 at 8 p.m. and Tuesday, March 30 at 11 a .m. in Stark 116. Created and arranged by Arthur J. Hoover, assistant dean, the seminar has as its purpose helping those students participating . in . the . financial programs to better understand them. In order to do this Mr. Hoover will present the overall financial aid program of the College and its philosophy. He will also discuss its requirements and the College's policies pertaining to application for and awarding of the financial aid. Mr. Hoover will acquaint the students with other possible sources of financial aid and will answer any questions relative to the program. Purpose of Double Time The purpose of the double time is to insure an opportunity for all students to attend the seminar. Since there is no single room large enough to accommodate the number of men and women participating in the program, it is necessary to have two meetings. In order to eliminate the transporta tion problems which any commuting students might have, it is preferable that they attend the Tuesday session and that the dorm students meet Monday . However, the sessions are interchangeable. An added reminder is that the applications for NDEA must be made every year, and Mr. Hoover stresses the fact that the student participating in the financial aid program has the greatest share of responsibility for his financial situation. "The student should be concerned enough to take care of his check. Last semester approximately 52 students who had received loans didn ' t report to the office to cash their checks, " stated Mr. Hoover. The process does not require previous treatment with lime. The Pennsylvania Department of Mines and Minerals Industries plans to construct a mobile pilot plant for testing experimental methods of treating contaminated waters. The process under research at the College is being considered for use in the plant. The plant, consisting of a mobile trailer unit, will be used on an experimental basis in the anthracite and bituminous areas of the state. Dr. David R. Maneval. director of research and development for the State Mines and Mineral Industries Department, stated that the 1965 project will consist of three phases. First, the testing of various minedrainage waters at various sections of the state in a process of ozonation which utilizes an ultra-pure form of oxygen. Then the project will explore further the several approaches, including the possible use of ultraxonic waves. Thirdly, the costs of the ozonation process will be studied. The project, which is supervised by Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, assistant professor of chemistry at the College, was initiated in 1964. $125,000 Goal Set For Appeal The College Annual Appeal will begin March 23 and extend through April 27. The goal this year is $125,000, to be applied to the scholarship and science program. General chairman of the community phase is Frear Scovell; chairman of the alumni appeal is Attorney John Doran. Alumni in this area and those throughout the 50 states as well as those residing in foreign countries will be contacted by telephone, mail or personal solicitations. The division leaders for 1965 as announced by Scovell are as follows: Muir Crosby, James Edwards, Ralph Lisman, E. B. Mulligan, David Ogden , Earl Phillips, Chuck Robbins, J. F. Sallada, Joseph J. Savitz, and George Sphorer. $oph. Wins Photo Finish The Photo Club has selected Charetta Chiampi as Miss Seasons for the month of February. The dark-haired beauty is a member of the sophomore class and has a dual major in both history and political science. She is an active member of the College girls' basketball team.

Hamdi Bases Forum Topic On Sartre, Schizophrenic Case by Sylvia Dysleski Mark Hamdi recently spoke at Forum on the topic of Existentialist Psychonanalysis. He discussed what happens when man comes to realize that there is no purpose in life and no values to live by because he is just a ball of energy which burns itself out within 70 years. Hamdi stated that the existentialist view might be the clearest and most precise description of what life is about. This attitude toward life can be involved in a school of psychology which is based on the ontological philosophy in which reality is so absurd that it is unbearable. The documented ideas were mainly from the novels of Sartre. Although Sartre's theory of psychonalysis was mentioned, the emphasis was placed upon another school of psychology. Thi'S field of thought concerns itself with man making use of his potential in his freedom in constructive limits afforded by a society of values. Hamdi based his talk on a case history of a schizophrenic undergoing therapy by the existentialist approach. Many of the ideas are subjective and are best expressed in an art form such as literature. For this reason Hamdi documented his points with literature. " I feel that the fine imposed on Cue 'n Curtain by Student Government was just and defensible. The important thing is, to a large extent, the standard of excellence, both academic and scholastic, that is measured on campus by Student Government, not the number or amount of the fines issued by the organization. ·' These are the words of David Fendrick, coach of the College Debate Society and affiliate of Cue 'n Curtain. "Apparently, we are neglectful. However, perhaps Student Government and Mr. Hoover were also neglectful to some extent. They do bear a part of the burden of blame," although he feels that this word 'blame' is too strong for the minor offense and the attention the issue drew on campus and in Student Government. "It was too petty ; there are too many more important things on campus that merit this attention." Under the existing laws, Student Government had no choice concerning its actions, but Mr. Fendrick was puzzled at the issuance of the fine, since the theatre has never before held strictly to scheduled dates and has been changing them for the past 17 years, not only without receiving fines, but also without mention of the fact. Now they are reprimanded and fined. Cue 'n Curtain is unique in these respects: 1) it operates in a building that is unique ; it has its own use, for the time being, and no one else can occupy it; 2) one can never predict the date of a play." Different forms of c o m m u n i c a t i o n require different times and ways of performing. An emotional play , for instance, will take longer to direct and produce because of the intensity and impact it must have and with which it must be treated by the actors, whereas another type of play might not take as long. "It is not a matter of hiring people, but of priming them." On Organization "People who are attracted to and deeply interested in the theatre are people whose greatest virtue is not organization." The original dates of March 4, 5, and 6 were changed when the leading lady of Sumner Hayward's play was struck down by appendicitis and a replacement had to be found. When Miss Slaughter had been found it was discovered that the plays could still run on the scheduled dates, at which they eventually were performed, last weekend. Meanwhile Student Government found out, hence, the fine. Student direction is a most delicate thing; the directors must try to pick a time best suited for what they are performing, try to hit the "peak", theatre jargon for the moment at which everyone is working at his most productive rate and the rapport is greatest, rather than over or under rehearsing. " We hit the peak and got socked for it." Mr. Fendrick feels justified in having changed the dates. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (Continued from page 2) DAY-SIE DOTES Sans Hope, Sans Love, Sans by Stephen J. Gavala As the sole character in the JCC's presentation of Krapps Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, Joseph Salsburg gave an exceptional performance in a play w hich is very demanding on both the author and the audience. The play, part of the theatre of the absurd, presents a man who exists in a world devoid of reality. His entire life centers around tape recordings which he has made on the successive anniversaries of his birth. By facing them he does, in a sense, face the reality that his life never was, is not and never will be anything but a futile , sterile existence. Thought Provoking This thought-provoking play leads the viewer to wonder what is being said, to whom, and why. A picture of a s'de of humanity emerges that most prefer to ignore. One can identify with Krapp, the aspirations, goals, and ideals of youth that fall by the wayside as one continues to forge his path through life. Krapp's degeneration is complete when he, having taken his abilities and set them in the shadows, is content to revert back to the womb by retiring to the secure warmthgiving atmosphere of his tiny celllike room .

Delegates from 13 colleges in the Northeast region will include representatives from Mansfield State, Lycoming, Hazleton extension of Penn State, Lafayette, Kutztown, Cedar Crest, and the University of Scranton. The representatives from the above colleges will present to committees "bills " dealing with such a reas of governmental policy as health, education and welfare, taxation and finance, and agriculture. The convention will be geared to prepare the representatives for participation in the annual state convention to be held in Harrisburg the first weekend in April. This years' convention will be based on a Model National Congress. In addition to voting on the platforms of the various committees, the representatives will also elect a Speaker of the House.

In recent issues of the BEACON, many letters have been printed presenting the dorm vs. day student debate. Much can be said for both sides of the argument. It is not our intent to widen the gap between the two forces or to close the gap. The article which began the controversy concerned the parking situation, a much more important problem both in its currency and its relevancy to the student body as a whole. The ''partiality" that was believed to be shown to the dorm students was the opinion of the columnist and not the BEACON. The "partiality" mentioned was likewise in reference to the parking situation mainly, and not to cafeteria food, dormitory privileges, et al. Bockword, Hidden Tolenl, Come Out! by Nancy Leland " Last year we had a very good 56-page Manuscript. Only a few people who had their works published in it have returned for the 1965 issue, and the number of students who were graduated at the end of the year does not make up for this loss. The rest of the talent must be hiding on campus," says editor Jack Hardie, in discussing the small amount of contributions to this year's Manuscript. The editors have in their hands now three short stories and five good pieces of poetry, all of which they plan to print. Other literary contributions are either in the final stages reworking or in the pending file. Since the deadline for contributions is April 19, they do not feel that this amount is encouraging or substantial. Any students who feel they might have some creative talents, but who are perhaps backward about bringing it to light or trying anything new, are urged to dismiss their inhibitions and contact one of the editors or the advisor, Dr. Philip Rizzo. They can also submit stories, poems, and art work by placing them in the MANUSCRIPT mailbox, located in the library. Bob Ford, who recently held a senior art exhibit at the College, is doing the art work for this issue. Until about three years ago, art work was always reproduced in the Manuscript. But now the College art department holds art exhibits and an annual art fair. However, editor Hardie would like to get art back on the Manuscript bandwagon. Thus, the letters have roamed too far afield. It is not our purpose to allow the axe-grinders a stone against which to sharpen their blades. We leave the day-dorm controversy to those who in reality see one. As we view it, two classes such as the "dormies" and the "day-sies" need not oppose one another. There is more strength in unity than in factions. The editor has announced that a cover-design contest is being run, in lieu of the fact that a graphics course is offered this semester. Students need not feel afraid to expose their contributions to the critical minds of MANUSCRIPT members in their weekly workshop. All contributions discussed in the course of the club's meetings are done without rderence to the authors names. Hardie is quoted on this point, "I learned a lot without reference to my own work in my sophomore and junior years by having it actually aired by the group. Students become less backward when they understand the mechanics of the meetings". Meetings are held each Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Conyngham 209, with Dr. Rizzo present at each meeting. When there is nothing to discuss or only a few contributions, the members discuss random topics. Dr. Rizzo contributes; He once spent almost an hour discussing the techniques of the modern novel. We are pleased, however, that the parking problem article not only aroused comment but also action. We are looking forward to the results of the committee which was specifically formed to study the problem. Variations On A Theme It seems a pity that the only issue which appears capable of arousing student opinion to such a degree that we need devote several weeks to it must be, in essence, so petty; namely, the famous controversy now withering. We as students are living in a rarefied atmosphere, studying the problems of the centuries and only in a few courses, the problems of the present. We are slowly losing men in South Vietnam. and dignity in Selma, Alabama. Locally, our schools and businesses are being irked with bomb scares. Perhaps we are too much with other times and other places. Then again, we may be too much with our own private worlds. As students, as citizens, we are all involved in Vietnam and Alabama. Yet, the BEACON has not received any letters either praising or panning the state of affairs.

Smacks of Thanks! Dear Editor: It is my sincere hope that the epidemic of hallucinosis at Wilkes College and the surrounding area has ended. The reality of this epidemic is evident. A number of letters appeared in a local newspaper and the Beacon concerning the Wilkes College students who were on the Lloyd Thaxton Show several weeks ago. Certain viewers of this show thought they saw students acting in an indecent manner. If these hallucinations were isolated cases, I would suggest the examination of the television sets in question. 01;>viously these people saw something that wasn't televised. Does anyone really believe that something indecent was televised? Certainly not. If so, however, action should be taken with the Federal Communication Commission and not with smear letters. Maybe it should be pointed out that two different groups were alternately viewed throughout the sh.ow. The first group was from California where the show originates. The second group consisted mainly of Wilkes College students who presented a delightfully refreshing satire of the typical teen~ age dance program. I stress that neither group acted in poor taste. I would like to express my relief that we didn 't have a recurrence of this epidemic at the Cherry Tree Chop when in the spirit of good clean fun members of the Wilkes College faculty were engaged in pie-eating and logsawing contests. One can never be too careful; therefore, those afflicted during the first wave of hallucinosis should avoid attending the Donkey Basketball Game this Friday. It would be a pity if they were to suffer a relapse during the game because the school would again suffer a flood of letters and phone calls condemning the foolish or indecent behavior of the Wilkes College students and faculty members.

The curriculum of the schools was twisted to the communist ideology. History books consist chiefly of accounts of Tito's victories, of great communist figures and of the evils of communism. While American children are reading "Jane and Dick" stories in the early grades, the children in the communist schools read blood-thirsty, gpry stories - for example, tales of how Russian prisoners were tortured by the Germans. "Tqe schools are also organized as a junior police state. If the parents said something against the state, the children were encouraged to report to their teacher or the head of the school.

Miss Allmayer-Beck received her B.A. degree from Syracuse University with a major in German and a minor in French. She had been a fine arts major until the end of her junior year when she switched to the liberal arts program. Since German was her native language and she spoke it fluently, this change of majors late in her college career did not necessitate her attending college extra semesters to make up credits in her new field . She did take graduate courses during her senior year but did not receive graduate credits. Following her graduation from college in 1962, the Fraulein taught in high school and worked for her master's degree during summer vacations. She received her M.A. in German last summer from Middlebury College, a liberal arts college during the regular school year and a graduate language school during the summer. "We had to sign an oath pledging that all summer we would speak only the language which we were studying," the Fraulein commented. This summer Miss Allmayer-Beck will study at the University of Vienna where she will take courses toward her doctorate degree. Her doctoral thesis will be a comparative study of some phase of German and French literature. Wilkes is the first college at which Miss Allmayer-Beck has taught. She likes the students and enjoys teaching here. The Fraulein also likes WilkesBarre and her apartment which she describes as "being close to the movies and the stores in town." Fraulein Allmayer-Beck usually occupies her spare time with reading, listening to her stereo, or pursuing artistic endeavors. Reading List She enjoys reading Camus, lunesco, Edward Albee, Ayn Rand, and Tennessee Williams. " I do not go along with the idea of the anti-hero novels or plays, whose characters have no name, and no especially good or especially bad traits, because it stresses mediocre conformity," she remarked. Her musical tastes range from anything classic to good progressive jazz. In pursuing her artistic abilities, the Fraulein enjoys painting, designing, and interior decorating. In the near future she would like to start a painting 'or construct a mobile. This summer she hopes to take a course in sculpture. When asked for her opm1ons on topics or events about which she feels strongly, the Fraulein naturally voices her opposition to communism. She stated, "I am strongly opposed to socialism and communism. I am in favor of a capitalistic society because it upholds individual rights. Totalitarianism only produces conformity and mediocrity; man has no dignity, for he is no longer the master of his own existence." •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Shop at . . . 7Ve think a good suit should be deductible Chuck Robbins GRAHAMS SPORTING GOODS 96 South Main Street Ready to serve you with a complete line of Sweaters, PHONE: 825-5625 Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods. 28 NORTH MAIN STREET 3 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS REX CATALDO Razor Hair Cutting STERLING BARBER SERVICE H•irpiecu for Mon - Wigs for Women Colognes - Porfumos - Co1m1tia STERLING HOTEL 9 E.

Last Year, Brooke Yeager copped second place in the event. If Carr, the 167-pound MAC champion, and McGinley, MAC runner-up in the 123-pound class, win in the NCAA tourney, they will be eligible to compete in the Nationals. The NCAA event will take place at Colorado Mines. Carr and McGinley left for the tourney yesterday with coach John Reese, and will fly to Denver with members of the Lycoming team. Wilkes Fails To Place In MAC's; F&M Takes First The Wilkes Colonels failed to place in the Middle Atlantic Swimming Tournament held at Elizabethtown recently. Not one of the Wilkes mermen gained a place in the competition, as Franklin and Marshall College edged out two rivals in the two-day tourney. Coach George McGinnef's diplomats totaled 103 points in a close College Division race with Dickinson and Lycoming.

Barre, who swept through the season undefeated to repeat as Dorm champ, ran into second half difficulties in bowing to the Skyscrapers. Both teams hit from the outside and relied on precision teamwork to produce one of the most exciting games in intramural history. Earre caught fire in the first half to take an early lead. The Dorm titlists were comfortably in the lead with a 21-14 advantage at halftime. After playing below par in the early moments of the game, the Skyscrapers put on a 34 point second half surge to gain on the Barre team.

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 19, 1965 College Presents Peace Corps Conclave Solons Organize For Cinderella; S G Keeps Keifer PROGRAM INCLUDES TALKS BY BEEMERS, FILM ON SERVICE by Vicki Tatz Committee chairmen for the Cinderella Ball have been selected. The general chairmen, Jack Brooks, Ron Czajkowski , and Judy Simonson, were appointed recently. Al Saidman is publicity chairman; John Lore, ticket~; Jane Jancik and Lois Petroski, gifts; John Cavallini, program; Ken Antonini and Molly Boyle, favors; Jaqui Rubin, invitations; Darlene Moll and Norma Falk, decorations; Ned Williams, re freshments; and Sumner Hayward and Mrs. Ann Kish, commentary. The Modern Aires, a ten-piece orchestra, have been engaged. The student body will vote for a Cinderella Queen at the March 25 assembly. A new policy was initiated providing that if someone is a Homecoming Queen she is ineligible for Cinderella Queen. All printing, of tickets and so on, should go through Ed W allison of the Public Relations Office. Organizations thus can support those printers who contribute to the College. Joe Keifer, freshman representative to Student Government, has missed three meetings of Student Government this semester. Acting according to Article IX, Section I, paragraph 3 of the constitution, a vote was taken to determine if he should remain a representative. The result was affirmative. He was appointed chairman of the Spring Carnival to be held May 15. The freshman class constitution was passed by Student Government at its last meeting. Hazing Committee Anyone interested in being chairman of the hazing and orientation committee for next year, or working on the committee, should contact Cathy DeAngelis. Also needed is a novel idea for the program of the Peace Corps Convocation. John Cavallini was appointed as chairman of the reading program for freshmen. Any upperclassman interested in serving as a discussion leader should also contact Cathy DeAngelis or John Cavallini. Mr. and Mrs. Halsey L. Beemer, Jr. , Peace Corps volunteers returning from a two-year tour of duty in the Philippines, will be at the College for the Peace Corps Convocation. The purpose of the convocation is to give the representatives the opportunity to present firsthand information about the philosophy and objectives of the Peace Corps, and to interest people in the possibility of entering into its service. The date of tl-ie convocation is March 24-25. Because of the relatively large num, ber of graduates of the College who have entered that organization, the representatives will spend two days here instead of the customary one day. Their schedule will consist mainly of classroom visitations and a speaking engagement Wednesday evening.

The U.S. is too deeply involved to back out llf.>W because our prestige and democratic system are at stake. The crucial question now is where we are going to stop the aggression - Viet Nam, Thailand, Australia or Florida? Ivan Schonfeld: The conflict is partially ideological and partially self-centered. To defend Viet Nam against communism is right, but to prolong the Americans' anguish by their sons' deaths is wrong. More and stronger action must be taken. Defending Viet Nam only gives America a smaller population by losing the soldiers. A stronger stand must be taken if we are to defend Viet Nam. Barbara O:>llins: I don't think the United States really has a right to be in South Viet Nam. Originally, the U .S . set up a "puppet" government in that country. One country can 't impose a form of government upon another country. Robert Kannor: The United States was lax in its policy to give freedom to South Viet Nam.

In the past, the U.S. has not been an aggressor. Rather, they have fought within confined boundaries with not much success. An example of this type of warfare is the Korean War. In order to avoid another situation like this, our best move is to continue attacking supply lines in North Viet Nam and, if conceivable, to move into Red China. I, myself, would be willing to fight .in Viet Nam to preserve our ideals and way of life. Jon Carsman: I think our policy stinks! One positive action should be taken. We are either in ,or out. Let's make up our minds. Sybil Nelms: The U.S. can't really help Viet Nam until the country solves its own problems. As it is now, the country is divided and government insecure. How can we help people who don't really want to be helped? Peter K. Griffith: I agree with the policy of non-appeasement, and increased military aid which the U .S . is following in Viet Nam. I also think all attempts by the French to force the U.S. into negotiations should be ignored and exploited for the good of the U .S. Jeanette C.

When the Stars had a comfortable margin over the Flashes, the student team substituted its all-girl second string. This gave the girls a chance to practice, the faculty a better chance to even the score, and the spectators a chance to enjoy themselves even more. Marie Shutlock startled everyone with her dramatic, unexpected triple-and-a-half forward Hip and beautifully executed one-point landing. by Barbara Simms The Student Stars emerged thumped, thrown, trampled, but triumphant over the Faculty Flashes, who were equally thumped, thrown, and trampled in the recent Donkey Basketball Classic sponsored annually by the senior class. At the end of the fourth quarter, the score was tied, 14-14, making overtime play necessary, much to the dismay of all the thumped, etc., riders. Fortunately, Jim Jenkins, early in the overtime period, scored a field goal for the Stars, thus ending the game with a victory for that team, offsetting the Flashes' victory of last year. The faculty team was partially crippled by the loss of Stephen Rasi, who injured his elbow when he was tossed from his donkey. His was the only major accident which occurred, although there were some dangerous and spectacular aerial stunts displayed by the other riders, all of whom sus,, tained minor bumps and bruises at Second place was awarded by the 'udges to the Rum Runners, Roger Goldberger, Phil Taver, and John Kappler, of Lehigh University. They won the $50 prize with their singing of "Daddy Roll 'Em" and "It Makes a Long Time Man Feel Bad." The College's own Warner Trio took the $25 third place award. The group's members are George Evancho, Bob Danchek, Nick Stefanowski, and Mark Rosenbaum. Stars Win In spite of the advantage given to the faculty, the Stars managed to win the game, which provided everyone, especially the donkeys, with a good time.

Second Year During his second year in the Philippines, Mr. Beemer worked with teachers throughout the northern region of Luzon, helping to change and up-date the science curriculum. He also worked in community development, helping build a water system for the town of Villaviciosa. Community development is a Peace Corps activity in which the volunteer serves as a catalyst to get the villagers to organize and work at solving their own problems. Mrs. Beemer, the former Jane R. Barlow, besides assisting Filipino instructors who were teaching the English language, also taught arith, metic, using the "new math." During her training, she had studied the Dienns system of teaching children mathematical concepts throuQh playing with wooden blocks. With the permission of the school principal, she decided to introduce this system to her classes - after making a set of the blocks herself. In her second year, after she had become aware of the particular problems of the region, Mrs. Beemer was invited to participate in workshop projects covering her own and four other provinces of northern Luzon. •••••••••••••••••••••••• "Years of love have been forgot, In the hatred of a minute" - Poe Wilkes College BOOKSTORE Millie Gittins, Manager •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• ICG Reps Travel To Stroudsburg On Sunday, March 21, representatives from the College branch of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government will travel to Stroudsburg State College to attend the regional convention of the I.C.G. Twelve area colleges will participate in this convention. Approximately 50 colleges will participate in the Harrisburg conference under the direction of Miss Genevieve Blatt, cofounder and chairman of I.C.G., on April 2, 3, and 4. The College has been selected to head the committee on Health Education and Welfare. Stephen J. Gavala will chair this committee. Others attending the regional convention will be the College I.C.G. chairman Carol Menuguzzo, Charles Petrillo, Judy Valunas, Sylvia Dysleski, John Lore, Fred Merrick, Andrea Gallet, George Varclett, and Barry Miller. This project involved visiting the schools and holding conferences, which the local teachers, supervisors, and superintendents attended in provincial capitals. As an extracurricular activity Mrs. Beemer helped lead a troop of Girl Scouts. Projects included hiking, sewing, cooking and handicrafts - the same things that occupy pre-teen girls in the United States . Both Mr. and Mrs. Beemer have traveled extensively. Among the countries they have visited are Malaysia, Thailand, India, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Turkey, and West Europe; their travels also took them to Viet Nam and Hong Kong. Mr. Beemer was born in Saigon, Viet Nam, attended grammar schools in Japan and China, and received his B.A. degree in history from Colgate University in 1962. Mrs. Beemer was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts and received her B.A. degree in English from Trinity College in 1962 . �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 4 Friday, March 19, 1965 Carr Wins Nat'I Bonors; Trains ror NCAA Tourney McGinley Stopped In Quarter - Finals Wrestling coach John Reese recently accompanied John Carr and Ned McGinley to the NCAA college division wrestling championships at .Golden, Colorado. The journey was not made in vain, for Carr returned as the 167 -pound champion. McGinley drew a bye in the preliminaries, but lost a 4-3 decision to Custer of Wes tern State College in the quarter-finals of the 123-pound division . Custer was last year's junior college champ. In gaining the 167 -pound crown, Carr contained his stellar action since coming to Wilkes. Carr recently captured the 167-pound championship in the Middle Atlantic wrestling championships at Gettysburg, giving Wilkes its first MAC champion since 1962. In 1960, Carr was the Pennsylvania State high school champion at Hanover High School as a senior. While at Hanover, Carr brought notice to the school by taking four district titles and participating on the championship squad which was the first in the sc hool's history. High School Student Carr's outstanding record in high school earned him a scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh where he continued his mat career. Carr placed 3rd in the Eastern wrestling championships before transferring to Wilkes last year. With wrestling fan s awaiting his eligibility for the Wilkes varsity, Carr went to work for the Colonels at the beginning of the second semester. The waiting was well worth it as Carr went on to a 5-0 record to finish the season. Wrestling for Wilkes ( una ttached) in the Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament, Carr gained the finals but was defeated by John Rushatz of Lehigh. In the NAIA tourney, Carr ran up against a stubborn contender in Sam Kimber Brainchild John Carr Cereceres of C<1lifornia Poly Obispo. Carr, however, managed to come up with a fall in 5:39. He was trailing 5-2 at the time. With his victory in small college nationals, Carr is eligible for the NCAA major college and university tournament schedued for March 25-27 at the University of Wyoming at Laramie. He is currently training for the event. Carr surpassed the effort by Brooke Yeager in the small college nationals last season. Yeager placed second in the tourney.

The car" . .. would produce 82 miles per hour upon insistent de man." It was powered by a 4 cylinder, ohy engine which produced 20 horsepower. The lack of horsepower, however was off-set by the fact that the M.G. weighed only 1200 pounds. The M.G. Midget was one of the most successful cars ever built, competing in four engine categories. This feat was accomplished by alternating the number of cylinders used for power. The Midget was accompanied by two larger machines, the Magna and the Magnette. These Wf_re 6 cylinder automobiles, with the Magnette sporting a pre-selector gear box. A small lever was set to the desired gear at any time and then when the gear ·was to be engaged, a kick of the left pedal was sufficient to effect the change. Safety Fast Another feature which is responsible for the tremendous popularity of the M.G. is the strict adherence to the motto "Safety Fast." Purdy tells the story of one man who turned his M .G. over, yet neith er he nor his fiancee were injured despite the fact that the top was down. In 1951, the TC changed somewhat and the well known TD evolved. The TD departed from the wire wheels, which caused somewhat of a stir among the "Old Guard ", but the TD was faster an! handl ed better than its predecessor. The TD was also produced in a Mark II version, which provided" " . .. higher compression, larger carburetors and valves, heavier valve springs, an additional electric fu el pump, an additional set of adjustable shock damoers and a lower rear axle ratio." In I 953, M.G. made a partial return to w(re w heels ( an optional extra) and upped its displacement to 1466 cc. in 1955. Since then , the M.G. has changed twice. The TF 1955 was more rakish, but still in the old tradition. The major change came in !°956 with the streamlined body style of the MGA. The cries heard at the remoulding of the TC re-echoed when the A appeared. The Austin-Healey Sprite tried to appease the "Classic Period adherents by offerinb a low-priced, spirited fun car in the tradition of the T -series. Following the Sprite, M .G. produced another Midget which closely resembles th e metamorphosed Sprite. Both cars seem to have been well received. Several years ago another major change in body style occurred and the current MGB arrived on the scene.

Soccer Meeting A Trip To Europe ror Less Than $100 SONNY by Clark line The M.G. is probably the most well known sports car in this country at the present time, even among those who have little interest or concern with the realm of automobiles and do not share in the enthusiasm of the sports car buff. The M.G. is popular for a variety of reasons, some of which will be discussed shortly. I am not under contract to the British Motor Corporation, current producer to the M .G., but I have a great admiration for these sturdy machines and feel that a little information on the M.G. might prove interesting and entertaining. Owners, prepare yourselves for the envy of your friends. The M.G. numbers well into the thousands and seems secu~e in its role as a car that is fun to drive and yet within the financial grasp of the average devotee. The reasons for this popularity, however, are not completely dependent upon the moderate price. The M.G. has a reputation for being a car that will take unmerciful punishment and keep coming back for more. It was in the M.G.-TC that these desirable qualities of endurance and fun driving first presented themselves to the general public in this country. The TC was the first M.G. to arrive here in quantity. The TC was, and is, a rugged looking piece of machinery and sits upon 16" wheels which respond to the slightest touch. If I may borrow from Ken Purdy's mention of the M.G. in his Bantam Publication, "Kings of the Road, " the TC w as supposed to produce only 5200 rpm. Yet, as Purdy mentions, " ... 6000 was always there , 6500 could be had and 7000 has been seen." According to Purdy and reason , the block should have been torn to shreds and the valves hurled into space, but everything remained in tact and " . . . the car simply went faster." ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• HARRY LINE UP Patronize Our Advertisers •••••••••••••••••••••••• Look Your Best . . . . .

Held at East Stroudsburg State College, this convention served as a method for preparing the representatives for the State convention, which will be held in Harrisburg on April 1, 2, and 3. At the State convention the de!egates will operate in a manner similar to that of Congress; members will submit bills which will then be re- ferred to a committee. After approval by the committee, the bill will go to the general session of the delegates where it will be debated and voted upon . The final result will then form the Congressional platform. Following this format at the regional convention, the College presented five bills to committee for approval and was successful in having all five endorsed. Only one bill emerged from each committee - the College's.

Ripley Granted Leave lo Lecture al Stanford Dr. Julien Ripley , associate professor of physics at the College, has been granted a leave of absence for the 1965-66 school year to serve as a visiting lecturer at Stanford University , Stanford, California. The leave was approved recently by the Board of Trustees, according to Eugene S . Farley, College president. Dr. Ripley received his B.A. from Yale, his M.A . from Harvard, and his Ph.D . in physics from the University of Virginia. He has done additional graduate study at George Washington University. Before joining the faculty at the College in 1960, Dr. Ripley was associate professor of physics at Dickinson and chairman of the department of physics and mathematics at Abadan Institute of Technology in Iran. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the American Physical Society, and the American Association of Physics Teachers. Stanford is one of the thirty-one colleges and universities throughout the United States that have adopted Dr. Ripley 's textbook, The Elements and Structure of the Physical Sciences. The book is designed to be used by students in the liberal arts and in humanities in order to alleviate the problem of bridging the gap between the sciences and the humanities, as well as presenting a means to achieve a comprehensive insight into the field of physics for liberal arts students. Dr. Ripley has probed this branch of science in depth, drawing on thirtyone years' experience in teaching the subject. He has managed to combine the fundamentals of the science with both historical and philosophical background. The historical development of modern science from ··natural philosophy "' is pointedly traced to offer the student insight into both form and substance of scientific inquiry . No attempt is mad e to produce a text on experimental physics; but rather th e use of facts, gathered from experiment and observation, is interrelated with theory to produce a meaningful knowledge of science. SURVEY ''Socio -Economic Acceptance of Negro Required" The problem of racial injustice in Selma, Alabama is one which cannot be easily solved. When asked how they would propose to solve this problem, some College students answered: Charles W. Snyder: I believe that this crisis would be solved by sending government officers to Selma to oversee the N egro registration. I do not think that federalizing the National Guard will be useful. Bruce W oollett: The solving of Selma's Negro cooftict, as well as other Negro confticts in the South, will take a very long time. Sending federal troops or federalizing the National Guard is one way of solving the immediate problem, but what is this doing to the Constitution? The problem won't be solved until the people want to solve it themselves. I believe socio-economic acceptance of the Negro must start in the integrati,on of the schools, giving hope to future generations. Jim Smith: The colored situation as it is now is similar to the one a few years ago in Little Rock, Arkansas. The use of federal troops in Alabama is the best move 'Johnson can make at this time, and he should authorize federal officers to supervise voting registration. Florie Gill: Let them vote. Anthony Toluba: When a government doesn 't represent or protect the rights of all the citizens, it is an illegal government. First, I believe that peace should be maintained through the use of federal troops. Secondly, federal supervised elections should be held as soon as possible for every office in the State, including that of the governor. Vivienne Sun: I do not believe that the Selma, Alabama problem can be ··solved' " without our first trying to reconcile the human race by removing the issue to the ground of reason. Jim Pirino: The Negroes are cer·ta-inly entitled to their civil rights. Authorities should make sure that these marches don't lose their perspective. Leah Anderson: I believe the problem must be solved on the Boor of Congress with the passage of the President's equal voting bill. The most important part of the problem, which is the hate and prejudice thriv- ing in the hearts of the southern rac- which will be held o n the Square in ists, can only be overcome in time. a week.

In the past, the problem cropped up only in the college press offices. Advisors clipped and cut what was sophomoric opinion; administrative officials sheared away any grey attitudes towards the college itself which, although not explicitly stated in the article, were thought to be implicated. We at Wilkes have been fortunate in that our newspaper is not influenced by socalled image builders. There may have been times when we were politely "called in" and "advised" that certain areas should have been handled more gently, but no attempt has ever been made to "censor" or "edit" any article before it was printed unless the editing was done by the staff itself. We are blessed with a free-thinking advisor and a receptive administration. Unfortunately, however, we are burdened with a policy that allows for the posting of bulletins and such only on the official college bulletin board. We feel as the letter-writers do, that the endeavor of PRO to have notices et al come first throu~h its office to the bulletin board is a form of censorship or editorship, neither of which should be in the hands of the Public Relations Office. It is that department's duty to present worthy college news to the community through local news media first. Because the community itself, taken as a whole, is not totally interested in what College clubs are holding meetings, what students are seeking rides to New York, or what students are politicking for positions and on what platforms ( ground generally covered on the bulletin board), it is not within the range of PRO's power to process these posters which appear not to be consumed by the community but by fellow students. We do not mean to say that PRO will censor - a hated word even to those who support such a notion - this material at all. We simply want to point out that some st11dents, knowing that their posters will first be studied by PRO, will not attempt as much "creativity" as they would like for fear that PRO would not be in agreement with their attempt. For example, many clubs use as ey~-catchers the term SEX even though the notice may concern, say, the appearance of a cel'tain lecturer on the topic, "The Potential Work Capacity of IBM Machines." It would probably be pointed out to the would-be designer that his choice of a certain word has no relevance to his message and he is therefore guilty of attempting to dupe the public. The simple attempt to change one word for another is editorship. Who is to say that endeavors to remove one word will not lead to endeavors to remove two words, phrases, sentences? Who is to say that information would not eventuallv be dictated to PRO so that this department would end up wording all posters? Who is to say that the printing will not be done by one printer who supports the College, thereby eliminating the need for student designers? Who is to say that, if this policy continues, we would not have, in the end, posters of similar sizes written in similar styles using similar words to announce meetings, elections, dances - dissimilar subjects? We do appreciate the concern PRO has shown out of their love for communication. However, heavy booted lovers make plodding Mercuries.

I am worried that the policy stated therein establishes a precedent which is entirely undesirable. It seems to imply censorship in the name of tidiness and good publicity. It also seems oo imply preventive a priori action; something which is foreign to our system of government. Censorship here implies an ability to determine what should be posted where it should be posted. I submit that it is not clear that either of these abilities reside in the PRO. The decision as to what is in good or bad "taste" is always personal and not universal. It is also not evident that creating this "fine" public image ( which appears to be the reason for this policy) will improve the excellence of the College. In fact, its stiffing effect will probably work to the detriment of such improvement.

In one place Americans are dying in war, or as some would prefer to have it called - conffict, defense against Communist aggression, etc. In the other place, Americans have died in a vastly different struggle, a struggle to permit Negroes - some of · whom are in Viet Nam - to exercise their constitutional right of voting. Selma, Alabama has been the focal point in the South for demonstrations, protesting the denial of constitutional rights based upon race. For more than two months Dr. Martin Luther King and his followers have demonstrated nearly every day to protest the 'injustices practiced in Selma. As a result of these protests confficts often erupted between demonstrators and police. Naturally, charges of police brutality arose - many justified. However, the charges against police in Montgomery, Alabama and their use of horses to disperse a small crowd were overplayed. According to news films, the small group of demonstrators provoked the police into the situation. However, this is one of the few documented cases which shows this par.ticular fact.

Governor Wallace cannot make a similar statement concerning Southern p o 1i c e forces. The demonstrators have yielded several results: the people of Selma have become disturbed by the actions, as anyone would after two months of constant protests in his city. However, they permitted the denial of civil rights, and the relaxing of pressure by Negro leaders has usually met with a regressive situation; as a result, they must now bear with the demonstrations. Another result has been seen as Americans throughout the nation have rallied to join in protests in Alabama. These have usually been clergy, union leaders and students. Obtaining voting rights is only the first step of a drive to gain full equal opportunity. Real help is needed from businessmen in their employment practices and union councils in their admission to craft unions if the Negro is to achieve practical long-range results. Governor Wallace stated he has done more for the Negro than any other Alabama governor. That is fine when looked at in a relative sense, but if looked at in an absolute sense it is 'l'lOI such a beautiful picture. He stated that he wanted to establish further educational. vocational-t .e ~ h.n i ca 1 schools and colieges for the exclusive use of Negroes.' The 'Supreme Court has ru'led separate but equal facilities :as unconstitutional. ii, ' · Undolilitedly the most dramatic re1sult ·df 'the demon~trations ·materialized in President Johnson's address to Congress last week asking for quick passage of his new voting "law." The address was filled with emotion and the President's mention of the world "law" creates amazement and wonder in this sense: Congress is the only body empowered to make laws. Nanarally, it was a slip by the President, but it only dramatizes the question of interpretation of the Constitution. One controversy arising from the President's speech and proposed legislation was the alleged violation of the states' constitutional power to determine qualified voters for state and local elections. This indirectly applies to voter qualillcation tests which are used. The point is well taken and well substantiated, but if the state violates its constitutional right in dealing with all its citizens within their own state by administering difficult tests and by applying them unfairly, there must be a path of recourse available to the CITIZEN. The proposed practice of submitting laws to a federal panel in Washington before becoming recognized as a state law is unconstitutional. The rapid passage of the bill, intact as suggested by the President, would be detrimental to the country, its constitutio~, and its democratic process.

There are three characteristics of test scores which should be considered when evaluating them: ( 1) the usefulness of the scores in predicting future success in the study of law, (2) the similarity of the score obtained to the score which would have been obtained if the applicant had taken a different but parallel form of the test , and (3) the performance on the test of other applicants for admission to law schools. The College 's average from 1954 to 1962 is 469; the present average is above that figure . Wilkes students are near the national norm this year on the LSAT. The College campus was the setting recently for the Peace Corps Con• vocation, during which time representatives of the Corps, Mr. and Mrs. Halsey Beemer, made classroom visitations, engaged in informal discussions, and attended a dinner in their honor. The purpo·s e of the convocation was to give the representatives the .opportunitv to present firsthand information about the philosophy and objectives of the Peace Corps, and to interest people in the possibility of entering into its service. Interes t ha s developed on campus for th e formation of an International Relations Club, which will be a chapter of the Association of International Relat ions Clubs. Students interested in participa ting in IRC and becoming charter mem bers are asked to contac t Dr. Bronis Kaslas of the history department. Three Characteristics Morgan Reis, an alumnus of the College, attained the highest score of all the Wilkes students who took the test this year, that of 633. The highest scorf attained by a student presently attending the College was that of Stephen Paradise, 624. Peace Corps Convocation Honors Beemers Al Close Because of the relatively large number of graduates of the College who have joined the organization, the representatives spent two days on the campus instead of the customary one day. Today they are speaking at King 's College. Besides answering questions during the classroom visitations, Mr. and Mrs. Beemer were available to the student body in the Commons, and th ey spoke at an evening engagement in the faculty loung e for the benefit of those students who were not able to be on campus, as well as members of the faculty and admin istration. The dinn er honoring the Beemers was held in the Commons and was attended by members of th e convocation committee. There was also a Peace Corps film showing corpsmen in tra ining and in action . Since the aptitude test in the morning session is intended to measure intellectual skills developed over a long period of time, and since it is based on no specific body of kndwledge, students cannot study for it in advance. The test of writing assumes a knowledge of standard, formal , written English of the sort taught in conventional courses in freshman English and in standard composition handbooks appropriate for the college level. The average reliability of the scores on current forms of the morning session of the LSAT is .91 for a group of candidates very similar to the total group of candidates tested, which Dr. Mailey feels is high enough to justify the use of the scores in individual ·counseling and prediction. repres!"ntatives.

The Leica is a 35mm camera which is used widely for candid journalistic art, the field in which Cohen works. He stated , " After you use a Leica for a certain number of years, it becomes an extension of your sight. When you are taking a picture, it is so easy to work with that you forget you're using the camera. It eliminates technical troubl e." After some years of taking pictures, he said that he has learned to see "in terms of rectangles with a two-to-three ratio," which is the ratio of the width and length of a 35mm exposure When asked what he does if a possible picture doesn 't fit the 2:3 pattern, he said that if all the elements don't work into the picture. then it isn't a good picture. "Cropping ( cutting or deleting certain undesirable portions of the photograph, is important in many kinds of photography, but in photo-journalism it is rarely helpful. '' The photographer should take what he sees and work it into a suitable picture. It is not only a matter of objects in space, but also in time. " If you catch your subject at the right time doing the right thing, then there is no need to crop, " he said. "It is here that the painter has an advantage," he continued. "He may paint what he wants to paint, adding or subtracting objects that he sees or pictures as he pleases and when he pleases. A photographer must see in terms of the camera, which has one eye that puts exactly what it sees .on film. He has to take the picture in the right place at the right time. There is seldom a second chance." Cohen concentrates on photography as his only hobby . When asked if he considered this concentration narrowing, he replied, "There have been few people who have excelled in anything if they do a great variety of things. You get artsy-craftsy if you try all kinds of things, spreading yourself too thin. To be good, you require s~lidity." Winning Photos The two photographs shown on the page are reprints of pictures which appeared in Leica Photography. The dandelions at the upper left corner of the page were photographed at Penn State about two years ago. He said, "This picture is the result of just walking around consciously looking for things to photograph." Some days he likes to go out specifically for this purpose. Cohen has a tendency to walk against the light when he is carrying a camera because he likes to take pictures of objects that are backlit, which means that light is coming toward the camera lens through them. He also likes to get close to his subject, to try to make a composition that will fall into a format. On that particular day he found a small field of dandelions when he was walking and he photographed several different groups of them. "I like their linearity," he said, referring to the picture. "This is not photo-journalism - it's just dandelions. It's oot an important piece of work, but I enjoy looking at it." On another wandering excursion, this time in Wilkes-Barre, he found the boy in the photo on the lower right playing with a group of other boys "up on Lincoln Street. I reacted to the gaiety and fun; he was only one of many kids enjoying themselves, but I isolated him. I talked to him, asked if I could take his picture, and he shyly agreed." At first, Cohen took pictures from a distance of the boy with the group, then he kept moving closer and closer until he took this shot. "It is the last of some 30 pictures, all of this boy," he added. He feels that this picture is a combination of spontaneous or candid photography and of studied or intellectual photography. "I think this picture is a fine example of portrait work. To me, 'fine' means that when I look at it, I know this kid. When it was published, I was a little surer that what I was trying to do was a more universal thing than just within myself." �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, March 26, 1965 Dornblaser Memorial Scholarships Consist of Three Separate Awards Page 5 Blood Donor Day Accountants Return from Internship; Slated for April 2 Capin Comments On Performance Blood Day will be conducted on Applications for the Florence Dornblaser Memorial Scholarships are now campus at the gym on April 2 beavailable.

From left to right are BEACON co-editor Joe Klaips, who interned in Chicago; business manager Roger Squier, who worked in Milwaukee; and business manager John Sickler, who interned in Philadelphia. Al three students were with the public accounting firm of Price Waterhouse & Co. It is always with a great deal of pleasure that one looks back upon a seemingly insurmountable problem he has solved; and it is with just pleasure that the accounting department can look back upon the internship program which its members have seen to completion . Although the program itself was a problem, it certainly was a challenge to place the 21 accounting majors with accounting firms for the seven-week internship. Offering the accounting major excellent experience in his field, the program is unique from any other programs at the College in that the students are compensated for their services, and for the most part are completely divorced from any contact with the College during the entire program. The work that the interns do for tht firm is not a mock nature, but rather is an integral part of the audit which is being performed. Never referred to as interns, the students are considered actual staff members by both their employers and their clients, and along with the titles they are given goes all the responsibility they would have to assume if they were actually staff accountants. According to reports from Mr . Robert S . Capin, accounting professor in charge of the internship program, this year as in the past our students have compared favorably with the performances of other interns from large colleges and universities throughthe country. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• :rara • ...,.,. - ~ • Sliver Sculpture ,I Lark ;, • ~ We hav·e:~yout·-favorite ~sterling .palie:r..1i . .,.~as featured in Reed & Barton's ~ Those students who have completed their internships and the firms with which they worked are: Haskins & Sells - Wilkes-Barre, John Balla and Joe Durako, N ew York, Larry Gubanich; Lybrand Ross Bros. & Montgom e ry-Philadelphia , Don Davis; H . & R.

Turn out Good; Susquehanna Here April 3 The Wilkes hardballers have been hampered by the weather in attempting to ready themselves for the season opener with Susquehanna on April 3. The team is pictured in a practice session held at the gym. Rick Klick, mound stalwart from last season, commented that the turnout has been commendable, but the lack of outdoor practice will figure in the early fortunes of the Wilkesmen. Coach Rollie Schmidt was also pleased with the turnout, and has expressed the need for players at every position. The pitching staff suffered through graduation losses, but Gary Popovich and Klick will return. The outfiield and infield have also felt the exodus of upper classmen. Last season, Schmidt managed to lead his hardballers to an 8-8 season, one of the best logs in the school's history. Susquehanna will be fresh from a southern swing and will present quite a problem for the Colonels in their opener. Susquehanna will have the added advantage of outdoor practice. College HOS t S Event for F"lrSt T"lme s,•nce '58 Wilkes has been named as the site of the 1965-66 Middle Atlantic W restling Tournament, according to an announcement made this past week. The last time the MAC tournament was held here was in 1958. In that year, Wilkes dominated the tournament by copping the team title and placing all eight men - three first places, two second places, one third place, and two fourth places. The date for the meet is set for March 4 and 5 of next year, and will be the wrestling enthusiasm which has been on the upswing in the Valley. . . . For Your School Supplies Shop at . . .
