The party will begin at 4 p.m. and the Jaycees will serve refreshments donated by local concerns. The youngsters will view a color movie entitled "Christmas Customs, Far and Near." The narration by Fran Allison will tell how foreign children celebrate Christmas in their lands. Highlighting the party will be the appearance of Santa Claus, personated by Freddie Wall, a chef on the cafeteria staff. Santa will carry in his sack a toy for each child at the party.

In the forthcoming months the dehaters will meet with the teams of Scranton University, Misericordia, King 's, and Kilroe Seminary. They will travel to the above campuses and also utilize our College facilities. This was the first in a series of programs which the evening college, under the direction of Mr. Robert Capin, hopes to promote in order to make the evening college students a part of the general college atmosphere. In this way it is hoped the students will get to know each other as well as receive a broader view of the College curriculum. Thus the evening students are welcome to attend all of the College events, including special programs, assemblies, sports events, and dances. Those students who have not received activity passes may get one at the evening college office. In order to determine the desires of the student body , it was indicated that a consensus of opinion would be the best approach. Therefore a qu estion naire was released to the evening stu- picture will be framed in a souvenir folder. Co-chairmen of the formal, Ralph Hendershot and Mike Romeo, have stated that "the turnout for last year's formal set a precedent which will be difficult to surpass." They indicated, however, that according to their present returns from those invited - including students, faculty members, and members of the Athletic Council of the College - they expect to achieve an even ,g teater attendance. Bob W e ston, president of the Lettermen's Club, has announced that he has secured discount rates on tuxedos from the Bond Clothing Store to facilitate those attending the formal. Tickets may be purchased from any Letterman or in the Bookstore until 5 p.m. this evening; the admission fee is $3 per couple. Chairmen of the various committees are: Richard Bucko, tickets; Rich Roshong, chaperones; Joe Chanecka , refreshments; Rich Verhanowitz, decorations; Richard Cook, coat check; John Karpiak, publicity; Harry Heesch, invitations; and Chuck Petrillo, favors.

A large attendance of students was taken on a tour of the Center, after which th e students gathered for a brief session where they were served coffee and doughnuts. The members of th e administration who attended were introduced, and afterwards a brief address was given by Dr. Farley.

Quinn The annual Christmas formal, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, will be held tonight in the Manfield Ballroom, South Washing ton St., Wilkes-Barre. Dancing in the mirrored ballroom will be conducted from 9 to 12 p.m., with music supplied by Ed Zacko and his orchestra. Refreshments will be served throughout the evening by members of the Lettermen's Club. To add to the holiday atmosphere of the formal , tables, enhanced by centerpieces of snow-frosted pine boughs encircling glowing red candles, will be arranged around the dancing area. As an added feature, all couples may have their pictures taken against the attractive setting of the ballroom entrance-way. Cameramen will be on hand with Polaroid cameras, and each The drama "The Devils," starring Anne Bancroft and Jason Robards, uses the technique of having one basic stage setting, but focuses the lighting on one section of the stage at a time and directs the attention of the audience toward another part of the stage by other lighting arrangements in s~lisequent scenes. The result is that the 1 play occurs in rapid ffashes, comma~ ding the full attention of the audienq!. 'The Man of La Mancha," an offr Broadway musical in Washington Square, starring Richard Kiley, Irving Jacobsen, and Joan Diener, utilizes an octagonal forestage. Since the orchestra is not in a pit but rather split in two wings in the back of the theater, and since the seating arrangement is that of a horseshoe, the total effect is one of closer rapport between the audience and the actors. The theatre is so skillfully constructed that every seat in the house is comfortable and offers an unrestricted view of the stage. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Jette,-, t, tl,e Ce/it,,. Friday, December 10, 1965 YOU Cf),N.T t.VEN KAELAGEE TEMPERS SCORCHED FILM FANS Dear Editor: I w ould like to clarify and expand the position I took up in la st week 's Beacon against the film, David and Lisa. Student reaction has been considerably hot and heav y against w hat I w rote . I have heard threats and in sults liberally heaped upon Kaelagee from many students . Of course , none of them knew that I w a s " Kaelagee." Most interesting of all, however, w er e two students, one of w hom implied to me that he wrote the rev iew and the other openly taking credit for it. If it will give comfort to David and Lisa fans , I should like to say a few words in favor of the film, although I still stand firmly by all I wrote last week. Some of the scenes did have a certain charm (when Lisa realizes that she is a " Pearl of a girl" for instance) , or humor ( the Puerto Rican boy's intimidation of David's mother) , or psychological insight, or honest sentiment. Popular opinion of the film is based on these few good scenes, when what they really are is a sugar coating over the silly, pretentious muck underneath . If people are offended because my review scorches the sacred cow, that's too bad. I can't really be concerned , for these are the same students who fight over seats upstairs in the caf to watch Soupy Sales and rush downtow n to the movies early so they won't miss the cartoon. (Maybe the Manuscript would fill up I I 6 again next time if it showed a cartoon . ) These students should be offended , not at me for criticizing their taste , but at EDITOR REVIEWS REVIEWER Dear Editor : As co-film editor of the Manuscript, I was particularly interested in the published commen ts of the Beacon reporter concerning David and Lisa, and concluded some clarification is needed for an issue or two which seems to hav e been presented incompletely. For instance, if one were to read the a rticle hastily, he might conclude Time was the only approver of David and Lisa, w hile in truth the film prompted ra ve reviews from the America, the Saturday Review, the Commonweal, the New Republic, the New York Herald-Tribune, and last but not (in this writer's opinion) least, members of Wilkes ' student body and faculty. Also it receiv ed the following official honors : Best Film By A New Director Award , Venice Film Festival. Best Actor and Best Actress Awards , San Francisco Film Festival. and a nomination for Academy Awards for script and direction. Multiplication Another obscuring comment was that concerning the audience a s being " the largest turnout this w riter has ever seen in fi v e years at Manuscript films ." Now, unclarified, this comment might so easily be taken as an insult to the catholicity of taste of the student body. Actually the turnout was little more than normal if we ESC.~~\St--\ ... ~ 1)\STOR.TION~ OF divide by two , and I'm sure the reporter knew that due to other college a ctivities Manuscript had been limited to one showing of the film instead of the usual two, and a s a result , had to accommodate an audience swollen to double the usual size . Precious Picture After these issues and a plot summary we come to the cru x of the article : " So why is the film a hoa x? " I wondered myself. I was afraid our reviwer w a s going to accuse David and Lisa of misrepresenting psychological concepts, yet the film has been found useful by high school and college psychology classes. Fortunately the reporter never does make this a ccusation directly. He concludes that the film is a hoax because it is simple. Well, I'm sure ev en our rev iew er realizes the makers of the film nev er expected it to be a s comprehensive as a psy chologist' s case report . I'm also sure he would agree that art can afford the simplicity which science cannot, and after all , David and Lisa is more poetic than scientific. In the final analysis then, after our reviewer himself has admitted that the film is " Precious because it is simple ," Manuscript has little to explain . A piece of art need not be " great" for our attention, a s long as it is " precious" enough to please.

Uninformed Campus It has also been said that my rev iew was a vicious attack on the Manuscript. Not so! There a re few other organizations on campus which have such an important reason for being as the Manuscript. The only thing is , they don't know how to run a good film series. Instead of worrying about whether their audience 's physical appetites are filled with cookies and coffee. they should be concerned with the satiation of t h e i r intellectual appetites. Wilkes undoubtedly must have the most uninformed campus in the world when it comes to the cinema . Mention Bergman and they think of Ingrid . Men tion Ford - and they think of cars . Mention Fellini - and they don't even think! Films have the potential to be the most educating media in existence . Therefore, I urge the l\fanuscript to take advantage of this fact and contribute to the intellectual environment of the campus. Bringing in unusual films is not enough . They can be made an intellectually stimulating experience , not just a place to go some Friday night on an inexpensive date. Solution How can thi s be brought about? Easy, with a little w ork. First of all , make the film an event. At King 's the campus is plastered with stills and posters from the films , and there is a legitimate attempt made to explain the more difficult films to the student body before they see it, not after. In this way, audience interest is heightened even before the film. Word of mouth only need not be necessary to insure the success of the film . In this respect, King's audiences are well- informed, although they are also rude and noisy (at Wilkes, a udiences are usually confused, but at least they' re quiet). Secondly, program notes should be distributed . These should contain criticism of the film from reliable sources as well a s pertinent information about the period in which the film w as made , its sty le , plot, importance , etc . This will give people something to do during reel changes instead of exchanging glib comments about liking ( " I understand it") or d isliking ( "I don't understand it") the film. If this is not fea sible , then I'm sure that members of our faculty would be more than honored to present a ten-minute discussion of the film for the edification of those present. Categorized Films Finally, some attempt should be made to categorize the films. Why not a semester of new w av e films ? or American film s of the thirties? or Bogart films ? The opportunities are endless. Such a series w ould enlarge one 's v iew of cinematic hi story tremendously. If one cares. Even the Manuscript can't be blamed if student apathy exis ts here . a s I'm sure it does. (Continued on ~ SE" F< . ... '[)"°\l.)N Yl>IJtl.~E.L.F \~ :SUS ~\E. !

Kaelagee POND SURFACE by Claire Sheridan An exhibition of photographic art will be presented by Mark C ohen, sen ior fine arts major, at Conyngham Annex, December 12 to 18, from 9 a .m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p .m. daily. Invitations have been sent for the private show ing Sunday , December 12. All photographs and negatives will be for sale. Cohen's work has appeared in Leica Photography and the British Medical Journal. To th e controversial question , "Can photography be art?" Cohen answers a definitr "Y es ... He feels that photography, like painting, is an aspect of art defined as an a esthetic , sensitive reaction to experience. Both are form on a two-dimens iona l space. Painting is a crea tive interpretation of this reaction; photography is the creative sea rch for reality. This is achieved by th e unusual viewpoint, selec tive focus , time ex posure, and optical techniques that tend to distort reality and make it super-real. The objective medium of camera and object is made sub- jective by the artist-photographer in his crea tive search for viewpoint in the slice of life. Cohen has used a Leica M3 and a Hasselblad 500C camera in producing the works of art for this first photographic art exhibit of the College. The accompanying picture exemplifies C ohen's belief in photography as art and how it is achieved . In "Pond Surface" the reality and overall feeling of the foliage and water of a pond are amplified by selective focus of the leaf, isolating and intensifying the reality , and hazing the light reflected by droplets of water, giving an abstract and my sterious aura to the ex perience. "This beauty and mystery is what drew me to the pond and this is th e viewpoint that best expresses that feeling ...

The recent rise in the discount rate charged by our Federal Reserve banks to the commercial banks brings a crisis into A m e r i ca n government which has been inevitable but which all parties have sought to avoid. The question on the surface is simply, "Who is the best judge of the proper level of the money supply?.. Is it the President of the United States or the seven-man Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system? The power to control the money supply is an awesome power. Should this power be responsive to the electoral process or is the power too tempting to be left to the politicians? The tradition of this nation has for the most part been a tradition of decentralization and diffusion of powers with regard to banking and every sophomore knows that the money supply is a creation of the privatelyowned commercial banks. The reserves on which demand deposits are based come from activities of our Federal Reserve banks. Specifically, purchases of obligations of the United States government by the central bank tend to increase reserves and deposits of member banks while sales of securities in the open market tend to lower member bank reserves and deposits. Also, the central banks can add reserves to the commercial banking system by lending at low interest rates. A rise in the rate paid by the commercial banks (the discount rate) indicates a tightening of reserves and money. Gold Outflow What current danger signs did the seven-man Board of Governors observe as they scanned the economic indicators this December? They were impressed with the upward movements in the price level taking place in the fourth quarter of this year after five years of relative price stability as measured by the consumer price index. They also observed that the persistent gold outHow problem seemed to be worsening in the fourth quarter. They reasoned that an anticipated rise in military expenditures could only increase inBationary pressures and aggravate the American gold position in 1966. The present time was the most opportune time to dampen price levels and to attract liquid holdings to American investments before the situation could become critical. The logic of the Board action seems unassailable, then, doesn't it? Opposition to the Fed action came from a rather impressive array of administration functionaries including Secretary of the Treasury Fowler, Director of the Budget Schultze, and Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Ackley. It is relative to note that the seven-man Board of Gover~ nors itself divided four to three on the wisdom of the Board's action, with its controversial chairman, William McC. Martin casting the deciding vote. The administration's position developed by Fowler, Ackley, and Schultze stressed that with unemployment remaining at the three million level in the United States, it would be erroneous to draw the overheated engine analogy to the American economy's performance at this particular time. They stressed further that the administrative budget will be presented to Congress in January, 1966, and only with the presentation of that budget could a clear picture of inBationary pressures be derived. Pandora's Box Without regard for the merit of the opposite positions taken by the Board and the administrative branch of the government, it is obvious that the Board has opened a Pandora's box for Senior's Art Exhibit Features Abstracts by Florence Greskiewiez Visits to many museums in New York and Europe have contributed greatly to Miss Hahn's art experiences; she has also spent her summers improving her artistic abilities.

Congressman Patman from Texas, archfoe of powerful Federal Reserve Banks and tight money, is conducting hearings this week to determine in his words who is running the country, the Board or the President. While Patman's opinions have not been inBuential in his own House committee in the past, it is obvious that he sees in the current controversy an opportunity to raise havoc with the institutions which currently control money and banking in the United States. There is no mystery concerning what Patman would like to see Congress do. He would consider it a memorable capstone in his long career in the House if he could see the discretionary powers of the Federal Reserve System over the money supply destroyed. He would accomplish the end by making the Board and especially its chairman more subservient to Presidential policy by reducing the term of office of each member of the Board from 14 years to a tenn coincident with that of the President. In this way the independence of the Board would be reduced drastically. Low Interest Rates Conffict between the chief executive and the Federal Reserve system is nothing new on the American political scene. During the Truman administration, the Board rebelled against the function assigned to it by the Treasury Department of maintaining low interest rates on national indebtedness. The central bank's qualms centered at that time on the ways that the actions taken to keep yields low on Treasury obligations were simultaneously augmenting the money supply and causing prices to rise. The result of this controversy was a rather uneasy compromise or accord which acknowledged the independence of the Federal Reserve Board. John F . Kennedy in the 1960 presidential campaign, when queried on "Meet the Press" concerning his possible actions should there be a dichotomy between his policies and those actions which the Board resolved to follow, stated that this was one issue that he would rather not determine until he should confront a concrete situation. This is one of the few, if not the only, times that he evaded a controversial question in the campaign. The Federal Reserve system has, since 1914, undergone considerable change with regard to its proper function. In 1914, it was hoped that the Federal Reserve system would be able to avert financial panics like the one of 1907 by providing the country with an elastic money supply capable of expanding and contracting with the legitimate needs of the business community. Nobody would consider such a limited function to be the main role of the Federal Reserve system today. The relationship between the money supply and levels of employment and national output within the country is a clear and decisive one, and the central bank is expected to play a controversial role in that relationship. Friedman Thesis In appraising the future of the Federal Reserve system, it will be most interesting to find what inBuence views of Professor Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago may have. The Friedman thesis is essentially that there is a dir.ect linkage between the money supply and the level of net national product. Friedman holds that the most direct relationship exists not between money and prices as assumed in traditional economic theory but between money and the level of national output. Following this to its logical conclusion, we might discern a declining role, especially with regard to discretionary actions on the part of Fed and its Board of Governors. It is Friedman's position that if we have a policy goal of increased net national product by, let us say, three per cent a year, the money supply should be increased also by the same percentage. In this way value judgments would be removed from the central bank and transferred to the President and Congress. The entire question of an independent Federal Reserve system is a most fascinating one for all who are interested in problems in political econ- Are you one of those people who cuts every class the week before Christmas vacation in order to shop for gifts?

If you are a surfer or summer girl I'm sure you would appreciate a pair of prescription sunglasses. Millie has 4 pairs in stock. I'd hate to be the person that lost the keys to his Ford. He's probably been walking everywhere lately. So again, if you can't find Christmas gifts, go see Millie. Of course there's always a catch. These gifts must have belonged to you at some time. You have probably replaced their loss by now. Therefore, you should be free to give these articles to your friends. Ask for lost and found at the Bookstore. STUDENT TEACHERS FIND EXPERIENCE REWARDING by Lois Petroski Insecurity Common Having completed the second phase of their student teaching program, the actual teaching in co-operating area high schools and elementary schools, 53 students returned to campus last week to begin the final part of their program, summarization and evaluation of experiences. Rhoda Oram, teaching junior and senior literature at Crestwood High School , felt insecure at first. "I was afraid that I would not know enough," claims Miss Oram. "But I found that no matter how bright the students are, perhaps having I.Q.'s higher than that of the student teacher, they do not have the inimitable experience which four years of college provides. I surprised myself by expressing naturally a score of information beyond the textbooks. Things began to look bright after the first few weeks ... Also traveling daily to Crestwood was Bill Webb, who admits to an unexplainable nervous attitude. "It never failed," says Webb. "Every morning, as soon as I reached the traffic light at Industrial Park, my knees began to quiver. But as soon as I entered the classroom, the acceptance which the students displayed led to the cessation of the quivering.'' Student teachers spent the initial four weeks of the semester in relatively informal classes, preparing for their field work. During the eightweek teaching experience, they attended weekly campus seminars at which problems were discussed openly. Robert West and George Siles, members of the education department, are heading the program. Initial Difficulties Several of the student teachers consider their return to daily classes a unique experience. As Susan Evans phrases it, "I feel like an alien on Adolescent Feelings my own campus." But the singular feeling might be a natural culmination Clark Line entered the biology of eight weeks unique to the 53 in- department of Kingston High School.

STUDENT TEACHERS (Continued from page 2) gives the student teacher a chance to experiment and gain self-confidence, the program can be worthwhile. Only under such circumstances can rewards be gained." Rewarding Experience Third and fourth grade teaching at the Franklin Street School provided daily rewards for Joyce Turner who claims, "It was great to see these young students take interest in most of what I did. I was rewarded each day in knowing that I took part in laying the foundation on which a great structure could be built." Miss Oram took personal interest in one girl who seemed to care little about school. and whose grades reflected her attitude. "By about the seventh week," she affirms, "the student was studying rather diligently and receiving better grades. I felt as though I had accomplished something. " Disappointed Idealist Line feels that the teaching experience for one who enters with the idealistic attitude of "lifting the students from their doldrums of apathy" can be a sad disappointment. He found it is a "hard pull to get the students to respond." But he discovered that achieving communication, if only with one student, can be rewarding. Line witnessed one of his students, a huge football player, rise gradewise, from "D" to "B". "It may sound corny," says Line, "but one day I saw in his eyes, where blankness before resided, a glimmer. I had incited him to think. This was the same student who, the second week of school, probably would have been much happier if I had kept quiet and let him sleep." Susan Evans found her first graders eager to respond. "My problem," says Miss Evans, "was having enough patience. The students learn by doing. They remember concepts when they themselves come 110 wifb them es-- pecially along the nature of science. However, the process of pulling answers from children so young can be quite long. Patience is vital to the successful teacher. " Donna Kimball , who taught literature, writing, and grammar at Meyers High School, found that students tend to resist being fed facts . "A more favorable atmosphere prevailed in my American literature class, " states Mrs. Kimball. "Students show more interest when they are allowed to offer their own ideas of interpretation. However, I had difficulty in asking questions which brought appropriate responses from the students." MR. "LOUIE" TUHY OF THE POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. quite recently. The situation never got out of hand. My age did not lessen the respect which the students showed. It prompted a desirable relationship." "Although we were advised against becoming a 'pal' of students, I found it necessary to be their friend ," asserts Bill Webb. "My camp and Y.M.C.A . experiences proved advantageous to developing favorable relations with the young people at Crestwood. I chaperoned two dances and attended basketball games. The students saw me at these events and came over to talk with me. I feel that my interest in their extracurricular activities made them more interested in what I had to say in the classroom. Also, they seemed to overlook my shortcomings in the classroom. I really felt that they were on my side during the whole eight weeks." Line discovered certain of his shortcomings in the classroom also. He found that the atmosphere for learning is helped if the teacher can approach the level of the students. "Although the students would lose respect for the teacher whose level coincided with their own, they are less critical of the teacher who admits 'he doesn't know' once in awhile. They work with the teacher, rather than against him." Inhibited Students Miss Oram feels that the average high school student does not answer freely in class. She attributes the inhibition to "his excessive self-consciousness and consequent desire not to be the focus of classroom attention for fear of giving a wrong answer." Wilson expounds on the teenager's dislike of embarrassment, which he feels "leads one to apply himself scholastically." Being a history major at the College, Wilson is quite familiar with the technique of surprise quizzes. These he administered freely. "Rather than suffer the embarrassment Longer Period Needed of failure, " claims Wilson, "most stuMiss Oram feels that the actual dents, especially among the seniors, kept abreast with the material.

The purpose of this party was to enable those persons residing in the local rest homes to participate in a pre-holiday festivity . The party was enhanced by colorful decorations, candy, cake and beverages, along with a visit by "Santa," who gave a gift to all those invited. Included in T .D .R.'s most immediate plans is their annual Valentine semiformal, which will be held the week following the beginning of the Spring semester. Lettermen The College Lettermen's Club , after their successful Christmas formal which was held recently at the Manfield Ballroom, plan to take charge of the concessions at the Open Wrestling Tournament at the College, as well as later at the MAC Tournament, which will also be held at the College. The Lettermen also are forming tentative plans for their annual Spring Tea and their Cherry Tree Chop. Barre Children's Service Center, and have toured Fairview, a state-maintained institution for the criminally insane. At Fairview, the College students were acquainted with the patients as well as the kitchen, recreation, ceramics, woodworking, painting and other shop facilities. Most of these hospital, patient-centered shops are self-sufficient with their products being sold to neighboring stores. The students also had the opportunity to attend a lecture and discussion session involving participation by several of the doctors at Fairview. The Psychology Club officers expressed their desire to initiate a program through which Wilkes, King's and other surrounding colleges could gain valuable experience in psychology, sociology and other related fields by working in connection with such institutions.

Beecher Charmbury, Pennsylvania's Secretary of Mines. Charmbury gave his views on plans for improvement of conditions in Wyoming Valley. Some of his statements offered hope for im- provement of conditions in the Valley, but on one basic point he did not sound optimistic. This point was the prospect of a stronger strip mine law for the hard coal region. for the bituminous region than it does for the hard coal region. A stronger strip mine bill had been passed by the Democratic House, but has been stymied in the current session by the Republicans in the Senate. This reporter was told that the present bill would not get out of the Senate, and was given the impression that this was exactly where the administration wanted the bill. Charmbury seemed to feel that the present strip mine law is adequate. However, it is well known that the current law offers stronger protection Vocotion Lihrory Hours In other areas the outlook is brighter. " Operation Goldfinger," in which it is proposed that compressed cars be placed in stripping pits, offers hope that two problems might be cleaned up with one program : if stripping pits can be filled with junk cars, then the countryside will be rid of the eyesore of both junkyards and stripping pits.

During the semester a great deal more than study has occupied the students' time. The individual student may spend his extracurricular time in diverse forms . Worthwhile activities, organizations, clubs, and galas offer worthwhile opportunities for enjoyable hours. Yet something much more than these officially organized groups and activities should exist for the extra-academic betterment of the student. Cliques Present Page 5 philosophical levels suffer derision by the efforts of narrowminded cliques. Those who revolt not from the physical norms imposed by current tastes ,......, for those bearded or uniquely clad are not to be dealt with here ,......, and assert i n d i v i d u a 1 i t y of mind are " branded." Various labels are muttered at those daring to assert their right to freedom of mind and spirit. Intimacy Scorned Another incidence to be avoided in these narrow-minded, suspicious, and accusing eyes are truly close relation- found too great a number in that category. These, too, retain old prejudices, quickly form new ones, and see no farther intellectually than the collective mind of their particular cliques. Such groups are formed not so much through earnest search as through mere circumstance. "Outsiders" are often treated with external civility while being regarded with baseless suspicion. Bias still blocks the open mind; conformity to the "in" trends stifles sincere, not revolting individualtm; h selfishness strangles love or umanity; a thumb to the nose replaces the helping hand; pseudo-aristocracy marks genuine culture; quasi-education very little encourages intellectual development. All of these manifest themselves here .at the College with varying degrees of signi- Even though the average campus cynic often dismisses the Christmas holidays with a "Yah, what tripe!" attitude, he must admit that the holiday definitely has certain beneficial effects on the student. At Wilkes, this blase outlook has given way to Christmas spirit, in spite of the efforts of our ever-present cynics. The holiday season officially began with the arrival of the first Christmas card,......, from Dr. Farley. "Angels" in the girls' dormitories have been hiding their Christmas presents. One woman who works in the cafeteria has been wearing holly earrings all week. The various choral groups ~n the music department, practicing for their numerous Christmas concerts, fill Chase Theatre and the surrounding area with holiday music. Campus organizations have begun to plan their Christmas parties. Most of the dormitories sport evergreen trees, greeting cards, and Christmas lights. The library has decorated its usual tiny tree. The Snack Bar has plac~d a. blue artific_ial tree in its window. The BEACON office, which is larger this year, contains two trees. Yet there are still a few spots on campus that have evaded the contagious holiday spirit. A dead Christmas tree lies neglected in front of Sturdevant Hall. Some teachers have persisted in assigning term papers and tests that are due January 3. A "Santa Claus is dead" sign has become entangled in the telephone wires near the library. The boys of one dormitory have painted a "Bah, humbug!" sign on one of its windows. Ah, well! At least the College has been spared the blazing neon redand-green Christmas decorations of downtown Wilkes-Barre. ships b e t w e e n individuals.

This led him to Western Electric. For WE agrees that ever-increasing knowledge is essential to the development of its engineers-and is helping John in furthering his education. John attended one of Western Electric's three Graduate Engineering Training Centers and graduated with honors. Now, through the Company-paid Tuition Refund Plan, John is working toward his Master's in Industrial Management at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He is currently a planning engineer developing test equipment for the Bell System's revolutionary electronic telephone switching system. If you set the highest standards for yourself, both educationally and professionally, we should talk. Western Electric's vast communications job as manufacturing unit of the Bell System provides many opportunities for fast-moving careers for electrical, mechanical and industrial engineers, as well as for physical science, liberal arts ·and business majors.

This is a question that in recent years has caused much lively debate and several hundred stabbings among American college professors. Some contend that if a student's intellect is sufficiently aroused, happiness will automatically follow. Others say that to concentrate on the intellect and ignore the rest of the personality can only lead to misery. I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence the well-known case of Knut Fusco. Knut, a forestry major, never got anything less than a straight "A," was awarded his B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) in only two years, his M.S.B. (Master of Sap and Bark) in only three, and his D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms) in only four. Academic glory was his. His intellect was the envy of every intellect fan on campus. But was he happy? The answer, alas, was no. Knut-he knew not why-was miserable; so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking across campus, he was suddenly so overcome with melancholy that he flung himself, weeping, upon the statue of the Founder. By and by, a liberal arts coed named Nikki Sigafoos came by with her Barby doll. She noted Knut's condition. "How come you're so unhappy, hey?" said Nikki. "Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arts major," replied Knut peevishly. "All right, I will," said Nikki. "You are unhappy for two reasons. First, because you have been so busy stuffing your intellect that you have gone and starved your psyche. I've got nothing against learning, mind you, but a person oughtn't to neglect the pleasant, gentle amenities of life-the fun things. Have you, for instance, ever been to a dance?" Knut shook his head. "H ave you ever " ••. and then to a justice of the peace." watched a sunset? Written a poem? Shaved with a Personna Stainless Steel Blade?" Knut shook his head. "Well, we'll fix that right now," said Nikki, and gave him a razor, a Personna Stainless Steel Blade, artd a can of Burma Shave. Knut lathered with the Burma Shave and shaved with the Personna and for the first time in many long years he smiled. He smiled and then he laughed-peal after peal of reverberating joy. "Wow-dow!" he cried. "What a shave! Does Personna come in injector style, too?" "It does," said Nikki. "Gloriosky !" cried Knut. "And does Burma Shave come in menthol, too?" "It does," said Nikki. "Huzzah!" cried Knut. "Now that I have found Personna and Burma Shave I will never have another unhappy day." "Hold!" said Nikki. "Personna and Burma Shave alone will not solve your problem-only half of it. Remember I said there were two things making you unhappy?" "Oh, yeah," said Knut. "What's the other one?" "How long have you had that bear trap on your foot?" said Nikki. "I stepped on it during a field trip in my freshman year,'' said Knut. "I keep meaning to have it taken off." "Allow me," said Nikki and removed it. "Land's sakes, what a relief!" said Knut, now totally happy, and took Nikki's hand and led her to a Personna vendor and then to a justice of the peace. Today Knut is a perfectly fulfilled man, both intellectwise and personalitywise. He lives in a charming split-level house with Nikki and their 17 children and he rises steadily in the forestry game. Only last month, in fact, he became Consultant on Sawdust to the American Butchers Guild, he was named an Honorary Sequoia by the park commissioner of Las Vegas, and he published a best-selling book called I W aa a Slippery Elm for the FBI. 0 1966, Mu Sblllmau The makers of Personna® Stainless Steel Blades and Burma Shave® are pletllJed that Knut ia li.nallg out of the woods-and so will gou be if your goal ia lw:u111 •ha11ln11.

This week the sports staff· bestows its "Athlete of the Week" honors on John Gardner for his mat performance. After a year's absence, Gardner, a The Wilkes cagers recently upped their log to 2-3 by downing Rutgers of South Jersey, 76-65, and by succumbing to Lycoming, 110-102, and Scranton, 71-56. 160-pound education major from Forty Fort, has returned to the Wilkes sports scene. Participating in the 152pound weight class, Gardner started the wrestling season in fine fashion against Ithaca last Saturday night. He completely overwhelmed his opponent from Ithaca and pinned him in 3:40. Gardner is a 1964 Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling champion. On the gridiron this past season, Gardner got off to a slow start but came on strong in the later part of the season to help the Colonels win their first M.A.C. championship. His best single game showing occurred in the Wilkes-Juniata game. In this contest he cracked off 60 yards on 19 carries for a 3.1 average and accounted for one touchdown. Last week the Colonels, with a 1-1 record at the time, travelled to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to battle the Lycoming cagers. Previous to their encounter with Wilkes, the Warriors also had a 1-1 tally. A rugged Warrior offense was the key to Lycoming's triumph. JOHN GARDNER Gardner is a graduate of West Side Central Catholic • High School. At W.S.C.C. Gardner starred on the football, wrestling, and basketball squads. Lycoming proved too powerful for the Colonels as the Warriors boasted a 20 point margin at the halftime. The Colonels fought back in the second half but were only able to come within 3 points of Lycoming before the Warriors pulled ahead again. The contest ended with Lycoming ahead, 110-102. Reuben Daniels was high for the Colonels with 26 points and was followed closely by Dale Nicholson with 19 points. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Last Saturday afternoon at Camden, New Jersey, the Colonels evened their record at 2-2 by edging Rutgers of South Jersey, 76-65.

ROSE BOWL COMMITTEE WILKES GRIDMEN COP ECAC AND AP HONORS The Wilkes College gridders received further recognition last week with the selection of Al Yatko and Brinley Varchol to the 1965 E.C.A.C .

At the dinner Hoover and Reese were presented with the Touchdown Club 's Trophy in honor of Wilkes taking the M .A .C . Northern Division Champions hip. The Wilmington Touchdown Club is made up of a group of about 150 businessmen who meet every Monday during the football season. Their main purpose is to sustain interest in the game. The club, which includes mostly college graduates, meets to discuss gridiron happenings. At th e end of each football season the club holds a dinner in honor of the champions of the three divisions of the Middl e Atlantic Conference.

His second nomination resulted from his excellent display of defensive abilities against D elaware Valley. Yatko has been equally outstanding this past season as the keystone of the defensive team, which gained praise as being one of the toughest small college defenses in the East. Acclaimed by Coach Schmidt as " the finest linebacker in the M .A.C.," Yatko was involved in about a quarter of all the tackles made by the defensive squad. In addition, the Associated Press selected Yatko to the first team of its All -Pennsylvania Collegiate Football Team. The Associated Press also named Paul Purta to its second team. Purta was previously selected as outstand ing halfback on the Eastern College Athletic Conference weekly All-East squad. H e was extremely outstanding in leading the Colonels to a 34-0 victory over Ursinus. He personally accounted for 15 points, including three placements. His second touchdown run in the Ursinus game was one of the lon gest in the Middl e Atlantic Conference this year, covering a distance of 88 yards. The main speech at the affair was given by Bob Odell, the head football coach at the University of P ennsyl vania. In add ition to the Touchdown Club Trophy, the Wilkes gridders received furth er honors. Al Yatko and Brinley Varchol were selected to the 1965 Eastern College Athletic Conference College Division Southern team.

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 sc hools and colleges alike and was first held at the Y.M.C.A. However, because of the rapid increase in popularity and the sharpening of the competition, most of the present entries are from colleges, universities, and athletic clubs. The tournament, widely acclaimed as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling, " is expected to attract well over three hund red contestants this year. Final date for entries has been set for December 18.

After rigorous prepara, tory training and dieting in order to lose an excess of 40 pounds, Carr battled his way to the finaJs where he met John Rushatz of Lehigh. Rushatz, however, proved to hold the upper hand as he pinned Carr in 8:58 in a match which saw both boys near exhaustion. The Colonels' hope of a Rose Bowl champion ended with Carr's loss. In last year's tournament , the University of Pittsburgh won team honors in the Open with Lock Haven second and East Stroudsburg third. Navy's Wayne Hicks was named outstanding wrestler in the event after having attained the most falls in the least amount of total time. Rushatz, 167-16. champion mentioned above , also scored the greatest amount of points per individual. Grapplers Cop Opener By Smashing Bombers The Wilkes grapplers emerged victorious last Saturday night by posting an easy 25-12 victory over the Bombers of Ithaca College at the Wilkes gym. It was the Colonels' opening meet of the season. Last year Ithaca handed Coach Reese 's wrestlers their on ly loss of the season . The Colonels avenged last year's loss to the Bombers with five of the Wilkes grapplers posting pi ns. They were Ed Witczak, Jim McCormick, John Gardner, Dick Cook , and John Carr, captain. Cook was leading 20-3 before he registered his fall. Carr had the shortest shift of the evening as he pinned his opponent in I :40. Wilkes ' victory was especially outstanding since the Ithaca Bombers wrestle the likes of Syracuse and Lock Haven State College, both of which are college mat powers, in its two upcoming meets. INTRAMURAL$ Intramural basketball rosters are to be ei ther in Mr. Schmidt's mailbox at the Bookstore or on Mr. Reese's desk at the gym by Saturday, January 8.

Any student in terested in taking charge of the intramural program is also asked to leave his name in Schmidt's mailbox. In the 145-pound class, Wilkes' Vic Altonen, WILKES Vs. ITHACA pictured above right, bowed to Bob Cacchi of Ithaca by a 2-0 decision. The Colonels' grapplers downed Ithaca, 25-12, to reverse last year's defeat at the hands of the Bombers.

Higgens will speak to the studen ts at the Center for the Performing Arts, concerning volunteer work on Indian reserva tions, among migrant farm workers, in urban slums, and in rural pockets of poverty from Appalachian hollows to Alaskan villages. Higg ens is special assistant to the Direc tor of Recru itment and Com munity Relations for VISTA. He previously worked in public se rvice tel evision as a consultant, program participant , and producer , and is a former faculty member of the University of Maryland's overseas program . Higgens pointed out that out of the 1500 VISTA volunteers, at least 75 per cent are between the ages of 18 to 24. He stated that although many are recent college graduates, almost half have only one or two years of undergraduate work. He attributes the high rate of acceptance on the college level to their "initiative, commitment, and adaptability." These volunteers conduct literacy programs, organize clean-up campaigns, develop recreation programs. tutor drop-outs, set up libraries, survey health needs, and teach housekeeping techniques. Working with their sponsors, they develop a whole new range of techniques in doing the ir part in the war on poverty . Volunteers have th e opportunity to request service in a specific geographical area and to indicate the type of assignment they prefer. Before they can begin th eir assignment , the candidates complete a six-week training program. Volunteers serve for one year and are provided with living expenses and med ical care while th ey live and work among the poor.

Still individuality and individualism are used synonymously. The re~ mainder of this dissertation concerns examples of these current meanings. Originality Commended An admirable application today of individuality pertains to those gifted of mind or pro~ ficient in skills who propose new theories , invent useful gadgets, or in some way improve conditions for the human race. These men set forth something truly original, instead of bor~ rowing wholesale from the past. While it must be stated that the past and its fundamental guides and recorded knowledge are indispensable to the furthering of mankind, totally new chapters from original minds must be chronicled in its tests. Thus the creative genius, not the financial wizard or the oddball, comprises the nearest sem~ blance to an individual. And yet so rarely does one person today gain fame for a single worth w hi 1e accomplishment. Movie stars receive press coverage for a walk across the street while accounts of scientists and inventors are relegated to technical journals or a small paragraph in some inconspic~ uous corner of a "name" magazine. Also today inventors work in teams or groups in~ dependently, or in the laboratories and research departments of large corporations or the government. 11i1~ g@@Wfi§SSlf!AfJ@P.TY IN COtJ\IERSATION Win+ C.C.

SEE WHAT .I ME"A-tJ · · • • • Some Conformity Necessary At almost every turn indivuality is forced to a halt. And could it be that in most cases the results are more productive? In other cases individuality now approaching individualism can manifest itself as a menace. Where conformity is a prerequisite to order as in the moral and legal conduct of society, individualism becomes a party to dissidence and rebellion which cannot be tolerated if chaos is to be prevented. Conformity, and not individuality, no matter how much the former is scorned or the latter extolled, must reign supreme for the greater benefit of society. Another instance in which individualism is a plague currently presents itself at the College. Our cagers, for which great expectations were held with a new respected coach and many new and highly talented players, have not produced as had been hoped. The present nonwinning condition may be amended by starring transfer students next semester, but the present squad could have done much better. How and why? Simply, there were too many chiefs and not enough indians. Too many basketball players were so "great" that they destroyed the team effort by seeking to augment their own glory. These "individualists" when in possession of the ball but well covered by the opposition .... even three men at a time ---would rather shoot the ball and try to add two points to their own tally than pass the ball to a "teammate" in order to set up a clear good shot. When our cagers become more of a team and less a conglomeration of stars, the College will see more praiseworthy performances than have been viewed during this semester. We have the material; let's produce, Coach! Singularity often e x i s ts where group effort would be more appropriate. Cliques, narrow-minded or otherwise, which may stifle individuality cannot be condemned merely because they are cliques. Further study of the situation is needed before anyone c a n apply a condemnation to all cliques or all individualists. We three hope that Mr. A. H.

Rosen This year's Winter Carnival was held on Friday, January 28, at Buck Hill Falls. Those who finished registering on Thursday bravely headed for the slopes, the pond, or picturesque walks in the below zero weather. After the chaos of Friday registration, underclassmen followed . Inside the Inn, games of ping-pong, pool, billiards, and bridge were enjoyed by those who escaped to the warmth of the fire. The activities of the day continued into evening with dinner and dancing to th e music of Mel Wynn and the Rhythm Aces. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Darlene Moll as Snow Queen by last year's queen , Diane Alfaro. Members of the queen"s court were Maureen Savage and Cheryl Tarity. Darlene is a member of the Student Government and is president of Catlin Hall. Maureen is a cheerleader, a member of Women's Athletic Association, and a member of the Education Club. Cheryl is a member of T.D.R. and the Executive Council. Ron Czajkowski, co-chairman of the event, emphasized that the Winter Carnival is an annual non-profit event held for the students during midsemester break, as a strictly " fun " day. However, in their enthusiasm, not everyone had a " fun " day. Casualties of the day included a broken foot, a few broken ankles, and a frozen ear lobe.

J. Gavala, Ina George, George HarA shy girl named Agnes ( Hazel Hulsizer) comes to the office looking for a job. She is ignored until a nondescript little man from the town of Bellac comes to her aid. He demonstrates that she can have her way with any man if she will, upon meeting him , declare that he is handsome, and compare him to the statue of the nonex istent Apollo of Bellac. This she does hesitantly, beginning with the clerk (Jan Kubicki) and working her way up through Mr. Cracheton, a director of the company (Stephen J. Gavala) , to her most successful victim, the chairman of the board (David Frey). She not only manages to make each man she comes in contact with feel important and useful, she also succeeds with the president of the patent company (Gene Susko) by changing his estimation of his own self-attributes and those of his wife Therese (Nancy Leland) . By changing his attitude toward his secretary Chevrendent (Sheryl Napoleon) , Agnes brings about a further transformation of his character.

What is their particular contribution to ignominy that they should be so mistreated by certain of the College's students? What harm does a cafeteria ash tray bring about that it should be filled with garbage instead of ashes and butts? What is the offense of a coke glass that it should be tortured by burning cigarette butts? Perhaps the ice cuts short the glass's agony by its ability to quench the fire, but the point is that ashes do not coke does. For there is a purpose for everything; and a thing for every purpose. Turn. Turn. Turn. Ashes in ash trays. Garbage in garbage disposals. And coke in coke glasses. The cafeteria staff obligingly provides students with ash trays and refuse containers. Please do not pervert the natural purposes of these particular aids to better living. There is really no point in desecrating them - except per- haps to demonstrate a thirst for slovenliness on the part of certain students. And they should really not be so anxious to give physical expression to this drive to be enveloped by garbage. Their primary concern should be to maintain the cleanliness of their surroundings and to defend from perversion the natural functions of materials provided for their use. L.S. WHAT • WHERE • February 4, 1966 BEACON The Tables Turned In Sloppy Conversation Turn, Turn, Turn belong, in the first place, in a coke glass - COLLEGE by Helen Dugan Once upon a time there was a college - Wilkes College, to be exact. This was a very happy college - clap once for the public relations department. In this happy college was a cafeteria - a secret partner of the alka-seltzer company. In this nauseating .. . er ... nostalgically happy college cafeteria twelve wooden lives are so ruthlessly crushed each day that one must shake his head in utter contempt wondering how much longer the students' indifference will allow this vulgarity to continue. At approximately 7:30 a.m., the abuse begins. A half-dozing student staggers into the cafeteria day-sy side and recklessly tosses his books on the table. The table moans ever so slightly from the infliction. As the boy walks over to the counter to get coffee, the table utilizes its possibly last few minutes of solitude. Pssstt. Hey, table. Yeh , you with the shiney top - temporarily shiney, I might add. So you're new here , eh? Well, today is going to be a day you'll never forget. The kids are starting to come now , so you'd better prepare yourself for getting kicked, pounded , and overloaded till you think you're going to collapse. Hey, what's your name, anyway? Stately Stan Well, when I was a tree oh, those were the good ole days - all my friends use to admire my gigantic limbs that waved so gracefully when they were caught up by a passing wind. Someone called me Stately Stan and it caught on. But now with these rivets and this varnish, I don't feel so stately. By the way, what's your name, table? That's the story of my life. All my neighbors just used to call me 'tree.' They would say, ·· Hey tree, what's a scrawny little thing like you doing here with us great walnuts?" But I did get to be a table - those guys probably ended up as coffins - but now every one just says, " Hey, table." It's really very frustrating. Oh. I'm sorry. Didn't you ever have a name? I think its Tim, although no one ever called me that while I was growing. But one day it was the summer before I figured I would rot - this burly guy with an axe came up to my trunk and started hacking away. I know how it must have felt. I got it with a chain saw. Chopped Down Well, as I was saying, this idiot was hacking away at my trunk and it was terrible. There I was, sap running out, acorns dropping , 1 i m b s f 1 a pp in g around. I could feel myself starting to lose touch. I was franticly yelling, '"Hit'm with your limb, mama ." When my downfall became a certainty, I heard a shrilling voice cry out. It was mama. She was yelling, "Tim . . . Ber". But you don't have to be formal. Just call me Timmy. Why, you poor tree!

Now you are a sturdy table worthy of great admiration. Are you leafy or something? This is the Wilkes cafeteria. Watch this. I'll show you what I mean. See this guy coming my way? He is here every morning, and every morning he spills coffee on my varnish. See those blisters? Then he goes running off to class and always leaves his dirty cup stuck to my top. Oh, how awful. Open Wound That's not the half of it, Stately. Did you ever have sugar spilled in an open coffee wound? So you're thinking, fight coffee with coffee, right? Wrong . I tried it. I popped a board and sent a half-spilled cup of coffee into some crazy Shirley's lap. She kicked me right in a knot. I didn't stand straight for weeks. She left her cup there, too. That's horrible. Co u Id n ' t they put signs on the tables to remove the dishes? Are you kidding? A student goes to school for twelve years to learn to read . Right? He comes in this cafeteria with his friend, looks at the sign, says, '"Da .. Hey, Stretch. Wot's dis sign for?" Then Stretch says, '" Da ... Id't know Charlie. Ha, Ha, let's make an air-a-plane.'' Is it really that hopeless? Certainly is. But the morning is heaven compared to lunch time. On top of the sugar and coffee goes lettuce, mustard, cake, tuna fish , coke, dinner plates, dirty napkins, chips, cigarettes, and more cups and saucers. And when you are sure your surface is completely covered, the second shift of lunatic lunchers come in . Poor Timmy. Ahhhhhhh!!. ( Uttered in obvious pain) . Coffee? No, I think its tea with lemon. It's starting to curdle my varnish. Wait till you get the knife shoved in your grain. What happens after lunch? I mean, do the students clear away the dishes? It hasn't happened yet. They just keep piling them up until they cannot pile them any higher. Then do they take them away? Frustration Na. Then they start piling them on the chairs. That goes on till the end of the day. For nine hours you stand there wishing you could kick some kid back or better yet dump the whole mess in his lap - just to see how he likes it. What happens when all the students leave for the day? That's the time of day I have to keep thinking of to go on with this torture. About 5 p.m. a nice old lady comes with a big tray. She takes all the dishes and food away and scrubs my top with warm sudsy water. Gee, I didn't have it that good even when I was a tree. Yeh, that's the good time, alright. But it's the next thing that I really look forward to . Yeh. What's that? That's when she moves back all the chairs and brings mama over to see me. You mean she brings your mama in here? Yeh, she's a broom . Oh! �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 4, 1966 Manuscript Notice Classes Beld The next MANUSCRIPT meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 8, at 11 a.m. in Conyngham 209. Those interested in editorial positions on the 1966- I 967 Beacon staff may attend classes held by the editor every Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Conyngham l08. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ROMAN IN THE GLOAMIN' Now as the end of the first semester draws near, one fact emerges clearly: you are all going to flunk out of school. There are two things you can do about it. First, you can marry money. (I don't mean you marry the money itself; I mean you marry a person who has money. Weddings between people and currency have not been legal anywhere in the United States since the Smoot-Hawley Act. Personna® Stainless Steel Blades, on the other hand, are legal everywhere and are, indeed, used with great pleasure and satisfaction in all fifty states of the Union and Duluth. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna Stainless Steel Blades, and they are inclined to get edgy if I omit to mention their product. Some of them get edgy and some get double-edgy because Personna Blades come both in Injector style and Double Edge style.) But I digress. I was saying you can marry money but, of course, you will not because you are a high-minded, cleanliving, pure-hearted, freckle-faced American kid. Therefore, to keep from flunking, you must try the second method: you must learn how to take lecture notes. According to a recent survey, eleven out of ten .American undergraduates do not know the proper way to take lecture notes. To illustrate this appalling statistic, let us suppose you are taking a course in history. Let us further suppose the lecturer is lecturing on the ruling houses of England. You listen intently. You write diligently in your notebook, making a topic outline as you have been taught. Like this: I. House of Plantagenet. II. House of Lancaster. III. House of York. Then you stop. You put aside your pen. You blink back a tear, for you cannot go on. Oh, yes, you know very well that the next ruling house is the House of Tudor. The trouble is you don't know the Roman numeral that comes after III. It may, incidentally, be of some comfort to learn that you are not the only people who don't know Roman numerals. The fact is, the Romans never knew them either. Oh, I suppose they could tell you how much V or X were or like that, but when it came to real zingers like LXI or MMC, they just flang away their styluses and went downtown to have a bath or take in a circus or maybe stab Caesar a few times. You may wonder why Rome stuck with these ridiculous numerals when the Arabs had such a nice, simple system. Well, sir, the fact is that Emperor Vespasian tried like crazy to buy the Arabic numerals from Suleiman The Magnificent, but Suleiman wouldn't do business-not even when Vespasian raised his bid to 100,000 gold piastres, plus he offered to throw in the Colosseum, the Appian Way, and Technicolor. So Rome stuck with Roman numerals-to its sorrow, as it turned out. One day in the Forum, Cicero and Pliny got to arguing about how much is CDL times MVIX. Well, sir, pretty soon everyone in town came around to join the hassle. In all the excitement, nobody remembered to lock the north gate and-wham! before you could say ars longa-in rushed the Goths, the Visigoths, and the Green Bay Packers! Well, sir, that's the way the empire crumbles, and I digress. Let's get back to lecture notes. Let's also say a word about Burma Shave®. Why? Because Burma Shave is made by the makers of Personna Blades who, it will be recalled, are the sponsors of this column. They are also the sponsors of the ultimate in shaving luxury. First coat your kisser with Burma Shave, regular or menthol-or, if you are the devil-may-care sort, some of each. Then whisk off your stubble with an incredibly sharp, unbelievably durable Personna Blade, Injector or Double Edge-remembering first to put the blade in a razor. The result: facial felicity, cutaneous cheer, epidermal elysium. Whether you shave every day, every III days, or every VII, you'll always find Personna and Burma Shave a winning combination. Page 3 Vujicas J'ouraey South For College Sabbatical In the summer of 1964 the College board of trustees voted to institute a policy granting faculty members sabbatical leaves. Dr. Stanko M. Vujica, chairman of the philosophy and religion department, and Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, are the first members of the staff to take advantage of the new policy . Dr. Vujica and his wife have been at the College since 1947. Dr. Vujica is a member of the American Philosophy Association, the American Association of University Professors, and the Croatian Academy of America. He has published extensively both in English and his native Croatian, and has been chairman of the faculty seminar for the past few years. Mrs. Vujica is listed as a writer in "Who"s Who Among American Women, " and as an educator in " Who"s Who in Education ," and "Who's Who in Library Service." Dr. Vujica, on a previous sabbatical, spent a year in Asia studying oriental philosophies and religions. This semester he plans to retire to a warmer section of the United States to help the administration"s Balance of Payments Policy. Mrs. Vujica, who has also published in her native Croatian, plans to spend her time writing. She will resume her duties on June 15. ,❖,❖-,-·­ -- - Dr. and Mrs. Stanko Vujica make plans for sabbatical. Farley Presents Pion For Larger Library At a recent assembly meeting, Dr. Eugene S. Farley spoke on the topic "Short and Long-Range Development" which dealt mainly with the new library, a project he termed the College·s " most pressing concern." Pointing out the College's greatly expanded enrollment over the past ten years, including an increase of full time day students from 850 to 1,750, Dr. Farley stated that the inevitable result is a need for a new library that will serve for the next 25 years. Other facts that attest to the College's growth are: in ten years the evening school enrollment has doubled; the science, art, and humanities programs have been strengthened; and a graduate program in chemistry and physics has been introduced. The new library will shelve 300,000 volumes and will seat 650 students. Dr. Farley showed the necessity for this increased space by stating that within the last three years the use of the library has tripled. Increased enrollment and assignments have created the present-day situation where makeshift tactics have reached the limit. For example, because the present li- 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 "It's hard for a youngster to learn good manners without seeing any." brary has a normal capacity for only 50,000 volumes, it has been necessary to shelve books in the science center and reduce the seating capacity . This arrangement has allowed the College to accommodate the present collection of 80,000 volumes, hut since 6,000 to 7,000 volumes are added each year, it " is apparent that an impasse will exist until adequate space is provided. " The inevitable answer is a new library, the cost of which is estimated at approximately $2,150,000. Of this amount the College is s e e k i n g $1.500,000 from friends, while the remaining $650,000 has been assured through a federal grant from the National Defense Education Administration. Concluding his talk with a look to the future, Dr. Farley stated, "When the library is completed, it is hoped that the College will be able to strengthen and consolidate its position for several years before planning other projects involved in the long-range plans which have been projected to the year 2000." Senior's Exhibit Features Poetry Beverly Granat will present her Senior Art Exhibit, a requirement for all Fine Arts majors, in Conyngham Annex, February 7 to 12 from 9 a .m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Some of Miss Granat's paintings are prefaced with poetry rather than titles, because there is "something in the spirit of the poem which is relevant to and expresses the feeling of the completed painting. " Miss Granat states that she believes all art stems from within the artist, but the spirit of the work is not present until completed. "A true artist can express this feeling in any medium: literature, music, fine arts, the dance, or the theatre. The medium the artist chooses is the one he feels he can manipulate best." Miss Granat also expresses herself in poetry . As an English minor, Miss Granat feels that literature is a necessary tie to her work in art.

Last week the Beacon conducted a survey among students and faculty members. When asked: " Do you feel that the draft is necessa ry?"', some onlookers evaded the issue. Those concerned about the issue replied: Dr. Thomas Mizianty - Ideally, in a democracy, military service should be completely voluntary, but practically, it doesn 't work, so we have to resort to selective service. Although many say that selective service is unfair , it is actually fairer than picking names of candidates at random with no regard to their value to the nation. HAPPINESS IS A CONTRACT, PROFS I believe that college students who are serious in thei r studies are of great value to their country and should be deferred and given the right to express their own views on Vietnam without having to worry whether their classiAcation of 2S will be changed to IA. Mr. Murray Force - The draft has justiAed its existence in two world wars. With the modern rearrangement of military forces in peace time, it may be that the draft would be necessary. The standing organization of military services could meet their own manpower needs within their own organizations. In times of national emergency, since the draft has proven itself effective, I would favor it, if necessary - but only in an emergency. the Steve Kish - I for one am aganist the draft on principle. I believe that a perwn who in all sincerity thinks kill, ing another man is wrong should not be forced to fight. This is a direct assault on the free will and free thought of the individual. A country which does not give the individual a choice between killing or not killing :should not be considered a democracy, the form of government which he is supposedly fighting for. Bill Webb - Since people will not volunteer to get themselves killed , I would say that the draft is necessary. Also, unless you can protect what you have, people sooner or later will try to take it from you. Eventually, most men would have to fight anyway. The draft hastens the inevitable personal conflict. Eric Fredd - Yes. The degree to which military conscription sustains itself will always be proportioned to the personal "agreeableness" of the duties and actions involved. To this point in history such duties and actions have rarely been in accord with most men. Simon Russin - During a state of war, the draft is necessary. More men are needed to perform all sorts of tasks not required under peaceful conditions and not likely to be undertaken voluntarily by men. However, during peacetime the draft could be eliminated. The armed services are becoming highly specialized, requiring the work of experts. The manpower needed during wartime is not needed under peace- ful conditions. The needed quantity of men of quality would enter voluntarily. Gene Santarelli - Of course th e draft is necessary, because if it didn 't exist, many of the men in the service wouldn't be there if the choice were theirs. Aggression and war-like tendencies are not a part of man 's makings; both characteristics do exist, but not in all men. They do not exist in those who enter the arm ed services by force, not by chance. Steve Gerko - I think the draft is necessary for our country to keep its image abroad. Our country must also draft men to remain great and free. Fred Bauer - I think the draft is necessary because enlistments would not meet the demand of men needed overseas.

Norkaitis The 1966 publication of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges has listed 19 Wilkes College students among those chosen throughout the nation. Nominated and recognized by the national organization, 14 men and five women have been honored for their outstanding contributions to the College and to the community. These students have maintained at least a 2.0 average throughout their college years. In the fall each department receives a request for a list of nominees for Who's Who. The teachers suggest several names on the basis of their knowledge of the students. In order to limit the number of nominees, Dean Ralston, administrators, and department heads narrow the list and make Anal decisions on the nominees. The students who are Anally selected are believed to represent the ideal college student. The following seniors have been selected for listing in the 1966 publication of Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

These include, at present, King 's, Marywood, Misericordia, the University of Scranton, and Wilkes. The recognition of a formal organization carries with it Anancial and political implications.

For if there were no rules governing the relationships of men, our social structure would surely disintegrate. This is also true of any organization whether it be corporation, club, or even a library. . .. A library has as its purpose collecting books and providing for their circulation. In order that it may perform its duties with the utmost efficiency, the library must formulate certain rules and regulations to which it expects its clients to adhere. Thus central to the government of conduct of individuals is the idea of control. Within society, control is necessary to protect both individual and societal interests. So, too, a certain amount of control is necessary in a library to insure that the individual student is able to obtain the book needed for an extra reading assignment and that the entire student body is assured an adequate supply of source material. Likewise, law implies an obligation of respect from those who enjoy its protection. Thus our library, which operates on an open-shelf system, trusts that the student will follow the proper procedures when he desires to obtain a book. Because failure to follow these rules seems to be characteristic of the students of the· College, we must question their integrity and responsibility. Ethics, which concerns for the most part individual morality, is an important part of the law. For a similar ethical code of a group of individuals produces community standards which in turn influence law and order. If we were to accuse the student body of a lack of integrity in relation to the library, we might also speculate as to the general ethical standards of the student community. There is little likelihood, however, that the College is composed of moral degenerates who are all attempting to compile their own 10,000volume home libraries with the College's books. Rather than a lack of moral standards, there seems to be a lack of responsibility on the part of the student body. For most books are eventually returned - not by students alone, however, but by maintenance men who, while cleaning the dormitories, make big finds, or through the mail from other libraries. Student irresponsibility also reflects a lack of consideration for one's fellow classmates. It seems that the average student has forgotten or ignored the fact that the person next to him in Bioiogy 211 also has a term paper on the yellow-bellied sapsucker, and that he may very well depend upon the school library for the same source material. But we feel that the student is not wholly to blame. One must also consider that the physical setting of the library is conducive to the illegal acquisition of the College's books. One small circulation desk at which only one person can be taken care of at any given moment does not encourage desirable library habits to a student who is pressed f_o r t!me an~ is last !n a line of six or seven people. The alternative 1s to exit unnoticed through the back door, conveniently located a distance from the circulation desk. Then too, we cannot ignore the fact that those in positions of authority have taken no effective action to comba~ t~is problem. The student situation compounds the already existing problem of inadequate space for afi increasing number of books. The library can no longer adequat~ly administer its collecti?n of books because it cannot control 1t. There seems to be a feeling of indifference and perhaps helplessness, a tendency to blame the student and ignore the power of its own position among the library staff. Certainly there is a need for a change of attitude on the part of both the student and the library staff. We can only hope that the present conditions will not set a precedent for the prospective library.

The Russians have made a soft landing on the moon and, as usual , the United States has announced that it will attempt the same feat within a few months. It seems that whenever the Russians pull off a Space Spectacular, the U.S. must go into Cox,Chonecko Vie With Pie by Joyce Lennon The Lettermen's Club will sponsor its annual Cherry Tree Chop Friday, February 18, in the gym. Highlighting the evening will be pie-eating and logsawing contests between the faculty and lettermen during intermission. In the pie-eating contest, Dr. Harold " Save Your Confederate Money" Cox will attempt to avenge last year's humiliating defeat at the teeth of Joe " Here·s Pie in Your Eye" Chanecka. Students have reported seeing Dean George Ralston and Dr. Francis Michelini engaged in such strange activities as running along the dike in sweat suits and lifting snowballs with weights inside. These actions are perhaps due to their rugged competition in the log-sawing contest, namely those gridiron greats Ralph Hendershot and Rich Roshong. a mad expensive rush to accomplish the same feat . Therefore the question again arises, is it all worth it? The militarists claim that we must not allow the moon to become Russian property. If we do, they continue, it will be used as a military base from which Russia will be able to blackmail the world. This is sheer nonsense! The moon is absolutely useless as a military base. A rocket launched from the moon would take two and one-half days to reach the earth, while an earthbased ICBM takes only 32 minutes to reach its target. The President claims that in order to be first on earth, we must not be second in space. The facts do not support this claim. The pressing problems of the world will not be solved by our reaching the moon before 1970. Most of the world will still go to bed hungry. The population explosion will continue. Red China will continue its aggression and the arms race will proceed unchecked. Right now the nation is faced with the dilemma of Vietnam , and it is an expensive dilemma. It is costing us about 3 million dollars a day. In addition to the war in Vietnam , the President wants to continue with his economic programs here at home.

To spend all this money for these domestic programs and still support a wasteful crash space program is not justifiable in the light of the world situation today. A cutback must be made somewhere, and our wasteful program is one of the first places our economic planners should look. Man will continue to strive to increase his horizons. This is as it should be. This striving, however, should not be at the expense of a world which is far from the best of all possible worlds. Jette/' tc t,e Celittl' Candide Classifies Kooks Dear Editor: Our revolutionary age of intellectual freedom has seemingly produced on this campus a twentieth century Voltaire in the form of Mr. A . H. Kook. What do you suppose has sparked this scathing retaliation against clique-ism at the College? Rejection from his favorite table in the ca£? Absence from the starting five on the basketball court? Or possibly what he may consider as nonintellectual snobbery? Certain intellectuals are considered kooks by society's "normal" element. In this sense, the term "kook" is acceptable and even admirable. H o w e v e r , many individuals wear cloaks of individuality simply to protect themselves from their own prejudices and rationalizations. If they were suddenly stripped of these deceiving garments, their enlightened lips would form such frank statements as: "I am a weakling, so down with athletic cliques," or " I am an unloved cynic , so why not get revenge by attacking cliqueism ?" The syllogistical minds of such pseudo-intellectuals are nourished by rationalized rather than rational logic. Intellectuals are kooks. I am a kook. Therefore , I am an intellectual. Mr. A. H . Kook , are you for real? I would like to have my name added to those of Eglebert Eclair, Crimple Crumpet, and Creamy Oreo, the self-appointed champions of teamwork (or maybe " teamism" would be more satisfying for the "ismoriented" philosophers of our generation). The sarcastic pen of Mr. A. H. Kook sketches an idealistic literary world which is juvenalian, platonic, and quixotic in nature. His imaginary, cultured, intimate, sincere, non-conformist group of philosophers would indeed become a clique ( heaven forbid!) very similar to the eighteenth century " philosophes." It seems very ironical that he summarized his argument with " Down with c Ii q u e - ism !" Therefore, referring to Mr. A. H. Kook, I will paraphrase the famous ( or infamous) Francois Marie Arouet and say: "Ecrasez 1 'infame!"

Automation Conquers All by Helen Dugan The place was the Employment Office: it was dusk as I noticed a small figure seemed so pathetic that I felt obliged to stop and talk to him. Whether he was a mature man or still a lad I could not tell, for by his appearance he looked rather young , but the tone of his replies was that of a man well-weathered by experience. He seemed almost relieved of his burden when I inquired into his thoughts and asked if I could be of some assistance. He looked up at me with a slow, wistful smile and said, ·Thank you . It's nice to know there are still real people who care about real feelings." His answer perplexed me, and motivated me to inquire about the misfortune which had brought him to a place which seemed so foreign to him. He told me of his unusual trade and his gains - in pleasure and not money. When I asked how he could consider himself truly prosperous while having such an insignificant monetary status, he looked up at me once more. But this time he was not smiling. His look was that of disappointment as he started to shake his head once again; I could feel his confidence drawing away from me. Fearing that this small creature would withdraw completely and leave me before I understood his entrancing mystery , I hurried to mend the damage I had obviously done . "But what I mean is, what pleasure can mean so much to you?" Starting reluctantly but adding each word with more conviction and mean- ing, he replied, " My pleasure sir, is that of giving hope to all men regardless of social standing, race, or religion. What man is truly happy without someone to care about his happiness? What man can succeed without a will? What man is truly prosperous who lives his life alone? I bring happiness to those destitute, a will to those suppressed, and companionship to those alone." The more he spoke, the more confused I became. Why would a man of his magnitude be in search of a job? Although I tried to find some fallacy in his character, I could not. By simply hearing him laugh, I was convinced that he was in reality all that he professed to be. His eyes twinkled as if he had heard my thoughts trailing through my mind. Slightly taken back but not really surprised, I heard him say, "The reason for my present misfortune is automation." Rather disappointed at such a common answer , I was ready to extend my regrets and be on my way, wondering why I thought this man such a unique individual. But he saved me from making a hasty generalization by clarifying his seemingly simple explanation. " What with machines whirling unfeelingly through daily routines, challenging man, pushing him into a frantic climb for power and prosperity, there has been a terrible sacrifice made." "There is no longer time for individuality , for concern, for compassion - for love. Those are my products. They are pushed aside now and are requested by only a few obsolete fuddy-duddies who are silly and oldfashioned . However, it is not my loss but that of humanity that I grieve." At this he turned from me and started to walk toward the doors of the building; suddenly he stopped and glanced back . He had that same wistful smil e as he reached into his vest pocket and extended a small white card in my direction. A waking from my transfixion, I walked to him and took the card. He merely said , " J think there is hope in some of us who are not afraid of emotions and are not possessed by gain , and I think you might be just such a person. Feel fre e to call on me anytim e. " As he passed through the doors I looked at his card. The bold red letters against the pure white background read : DAN CUPID - Love, Inc. 'Soc' Majors Begin 'Groap' Activities program 'Eastside, Westside '." While conceding the value of such a program, Russo feels that it gave the impression that a social agency ordinarily deals with problems as varied as those discussed on the program. However, he said that in actuality such agencies are usually more specialized: they concern themselves with one or two social problems. Other officers in the club include Mary Ann Story, secretary , and Julie According to President Ron Russo, Palsha , treasurer. the purpose of the organization is "to Last November The Group heard a foster student interest in the field of sociology and to apply the social lecture given by H .

The club·s name was suggested by its vice-president, Annetta Long (stop thinking of Mary McCarthy's novel), and should be considered in the light of its sociological overtones. Pictured above is the new sociology club, the Group. President Russo, who last summer was an in-service training officer at the Center, stated that the club members were favorably impressed by the Center's methods, which he said focus mainly on the treatment of the in- dividual and his needs. Russo feels that such a program has been successful , in view of his summer experience, in the treatment of juveniles sent to the Center. The Group 's future activities include plans to visit th e Wyoming Valley Children's Service Center. There they will concentrate on the Center's social program for these children rath er than its more obvious psychological program . Dormitory Nurses Lisi Navy Seeks Recruits For Training Program Medical Aid Schedule On Tuesday, February I 5 representatives from the U.S. Navy will be on campus to recruit students for their new Reserve Officer Candidate program. Since the removal of the high school reserve program, this new program, ROC, offers the only opportunity for young men to enter the Naval Reserve. Open only to college undergraduates, the program encompasses their junior and senior years, beginning at the start of the junior year. Enrolled members are required to attend drills one week-end each month out of the school year and an eight-week session during each summer. These summer sessions will be held at Newport, Rhode Island . A student wishing to complete his education with graduate work may continue the program during this time also. There are financial advantages to be had through enrolling in this program. While attending school, the student enjoys a draft-free status.

But no. Roommates remain as big a problem today as they were when Ethan Mather founded the first American college. (Contrary to popular belief, Harvard was not the first. Mr. Mather started his institution some 100 years earlier. And quite an institution it was, let me tell you! Mr. Mather built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry and tanning. He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 200,000. Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin motto CA VE MUSSI-"Watch out for moose." The student union contained a bowling alley, a weighing machine, and a sixteen-chair barber shop.) (It was this last feature-the barber shop-that, alas, brought Mr. Mather's college to an early end. The student body, being drawn chiefly from the nearby countryside, was composed almost entirely of Pequot and Iroquois Indians who, alas, had no need of a barber shop. They braided the hair on top of their heads, and as for the hair on their faces, they had none. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle by name, grew so depressed staring day after day at 16 empty chairs that one day his mind gave way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran outside and shook the entire campus till it crumbled to dust. This later became known as Pickett's Charge.) But I digress. We were exploring ways for you and your roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly difficult but not impossible if you will both bend a bit, give a little. I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz '08). My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less agreeable than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading whose native customs, while indisputably colorful, were not entirely endearing. Mark you, I didn't mind so much the gong he struck on the hour or the string of firecrackers he set off on the half hour. I didn't even mind that he singed chicken feathers every dusk and daybreak. What I dill mind was that he singed them in my hat. -~ ~~ ~ ✓ To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my habits either-especially my hobby of collecting water. I had no jars at the time, so I just had to stack the water any-old-where. Well, sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringading and me, and they might actually have gotten ugly had we not each happened to receive a package from home one day. Ringading opened his package, paused, smiled shyly at me, and offered me a gift. "Thank you," I said. "What is it?" "Yak butter," he said. "You put it in your hair. In Tibetan we call it gree see kidstufj." "Well now, that's mighty friendly," I said and offered him a gift from my package. "Now you must have one of mine." "Thank you," he said.

"Ah, but the best is yet!" I cried. "For you will get many, many smooth, close, comfortable shaves from your Personna Blade - each one nearly as smooth, close, and comfortable as the first!" "Wowdow !" he cried. "Moreover," I cried, "Personna Blades come both in Double Edge style and Injector style!" "Sort of makes a man feel humble," he said. "Yes," I said. We were both silent then, not trusting ourselves to speak. Silently we clasped hands, friend s at last, and I am proud to say that Ringading and I remain friend s to this day.

It is hoped that with this information students will take a greater interest in the College's swimming team. The Wilkes mermen bowed, 60-35, to a perennially strong Millersville team last Saturday afternoon at the Central Y.M.C.A. pool. The Boaters' log now stands at 1-3. General rules1 1. Each college may enter two men in each event except relays. Only one team is entered from each college in relay events. A swimmer is allowed to compete in not more than three events in a meet. 2. Scoring for relays - winning team 7, losing team 0. Scoring for all other events - winner, 5; 2nd place, 3; 3rd place, I. 3. In the 500-yard freestyle race a gun will be shot to indicate when the leading swimmer has only 2 more lengths to complete. 4. Each swimmer is allowed one false start. A second false start will disqualify him. 5. A swimmer may swim any stroke or a combination of strokes in a freestyle race. Since crawl stroke is the fastest stroke known, nearly all swimmers swim crawl for freestyle races. 6. Diving: The first dive by each diver is the required dive for this meet. It was drawn by the referee before the meet from a required list of 5 dives in a hat. The diver may choose his next 5 dives , but must pick one from each of forward , backward, inward, reverse, and twist style dives. Each dive is assigned a degree of difficulty by the rule book according to its difficulty of performance. The diving judge scores the execution of the dive from 1 to 10 and his award is multiplied by the degree of difficulty. The result is the diver's score for the dive. · The only Colonel individual first place win in the contest was copped by Bryn Kehrli in the 50-yard freestyle event with a time of 26.2 seconds. Cocaptain Chuck Petrillo followed Kehrli with a second place win in this event. The Wilkesmen also took the 400-yard freestyle relay, the final event of the meet, in 4:49.5. Out of the nine individual events, Wilkes copped five second place wins. Millersville's captain, Bob Pulcher, captured two individual first place wins for the Marauders in the 200yard freestyle and the 200-yard butterfly events. Ironically, Wilkes swimming coach, Ken Young, taught Pulcher how to swim when the former was aquatic director at the Chester, Pennsylvania, Y.M.C .A . This past Wednesday the Colonels swam against Lycoming College. Because of the Beacon deadline, we are unable to print the results this week.

McCORMICK PINS Cagers Down Juniata For First League Win by Bill Bush Last Thursday the Wilkes cagers traveled to the home court of Scranton University. Scranton is one of the strongest teams in the M.A.C. and always provides Wilkes with tough competition. The Colonels showed surprising team effort in the first half of play by matching the Scranton Royals point for point. Captain Joe Chanecka provided the spark to the Colonels' play during the first half. The score was tied 36-36 when the halftime whistle sounded. Throughout the season Wilkes has been plagued by second half trouble and th e Scranton game proved to be no exception. The Royals commanded the court for the remainder of the game, defeating the Colonels 83-65. Chanecka was high man for th e Colonels with 14 points. He is currently ninth in the league in foul shot percentage. Last Saturday the Colonels traveled to Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, to face Juniata College in a con- ference game. The teams were fairly matched as Juniata held a record of 2-9 while Wilkes posted a log of 3-10. The Colonels, led by the scoring of Reub en D aniels and Chanecka, played a good first half Juniata matched Wilkes point for point and commanded a three point advantage at the halftime. The Colonels, determined to gain a league victory, made a comeback in the second half and managed to contain the Juniata offense. The Colonels played an inspired second half, defeating Juniata 77-72. A new addition to the Colonels' varsity, Ron Ridzon , tallied 23 points for the Colonels." Daniels and Chanecka tallied 18 and 14 points respectively. This past Wednesday the Colonels, holding a 4-10 log, faced the leagueleading Lycoming cagers who held a 12-4 record. Tonight the Colonels host Drew at 8:15 p.m. Tomorrow night in another home game the Colonels meet Upsala at 8:30 p.m. The Colonels' matmen rolled over Millersville State College last Saturday night with a 34-2 victory. The win was the seventeenth in a row for the Colonels and it brought their record to 7-0 thus far this season. The Colonels took all but one match and that one ended in a draw. Before this meet the Colonels were ranked third in the nation according to the latest N .C.A.A. small college statistics. The lop-sided victory should enable the Colonels to maintain or improve their ranking. Jim McCormick, Barry Gold, John Carr, and Al Arnold all registered pins for the Colonels. Barry Gold came up with the fastest pin, I :27 of the first period. In the only bout which the Colonels failed to win, Jim Coffman led his Millersville opponent, Jim Shenk, 6-4, as the bout ended, but Shenk was awarded 2 points for riding time and the bout ended in a draw. The bout won by Yogi Michael ended with the Millersville wrestler leading 5-4. Michael, however, had succeeded in piling up considerable riding time and was awarded 2 points to give him a 6-5 victory. John Carr showed his versatility by moving up to the I 77-pound class and still registering an easy victory by pinning his man in 2:01 of the first period. In the final bout of the night Al Arnold turned in another fine performance by pinning the Millersville captain in 5:06 of the second period. 123-Comegys (W) decisioned Hess. 5-0. 130 - McCormick (W) pinned McKeeman, 1:57. 137 - Coffman (W) drew with Shenk, 6-6. 145 - Michael(W) decisioned Warner, 6-5. 152 - Wiendl (W) decisioned Peck, 11-1. 160 - Gold (W) pinned Tinpale, 1:27. 167 - Cook (W) decisioned Swift, 17-1. 177 - Carr (W) Pinned Cramer, 2:01.

His topic was entitled "The Nation's Spiritual Pulse." He stated, "It is not false pride to assert that in many ways America is the greatest nation in the history of mankind. Built upon the foundation of freedom of conscience, freedom of speech , free enterprise, and universal education, a nation has been molded under God which has demonstrated the potential glory and grandeur of human collective achievement. Nevertheless, under God we are subject to moral judgment, and it becomes vital for us in an age of crisis to strengthen the moral and ethical foundations of our national and individual lives."

As editors, we state our views about current situations on campus, and apathy, because it is not merely current but recurrent, is a constant subject of these opinions. The terms "lack of interest", "indifference", and others are often used to avoid repetition of the word itself, but the criticism is still the same: We, as a student body, are generally apathetic toward the activities offered us by the College. We are just as weary of writing about it as most students are of reading about it.

It is with definite pleasure then, that we write the remainder of this editorial, for we have found one area of campus activity which is thriving ,....., that of intramural sports. In a recent edition of the BEACON, one headline stated, "Thirty Teams Vie In IM (intramural) Basketball." On each team there must be at least five players; in other words, there are on these teams 150 men on the first strings alone. Add this number to the number of coaches, managers, and second string players, and the total is Realistic Views boosted to well over 200 students involved actively in a College Americans should be realistic activity.

No nation is so wealthy and strong We have become aware of and are consequently displeased that it can maintain prosperity with the manner in which the finalists for the best-dressed coed at home when the cream of its youth and the bulk of its taxes contest are chosen. -----------------------THE ELECT SELECT We mean not to throw aspersions on those coeds already chosen as finalists; indeed, we sincerely compliment them. However, our quarrel is with the way in which they are singled out for this honor. We feel that a panel of seven girls arbitrarily deciding who the finalists shall be is not the best way to handle the situation. If this panel were composed entirely of previous finalists, then we would not question its qualifications for elevating other girls to the same select circle. But since they are for the most part of no particular modish distinction, since they are in truth no more qualified than the rest of the student body, we feel that a fairer solution to the problem would be to have each class nominate a number of candidates, from which finalists would be chosen by a general vote of the student body. ---------------------------WHAT Friday, February 18, 196t • WHERE • WHEN BASKETBALL - Moravian - Away- Tomorrow, 8:30 P.M.

This, however, will not win the war alone. We must engage the enemy with the best equipment available; b~tter food and medical supplies must be made available to both U.S. and allied troops; and more recuperation centers should be built for the wounded and the worn-out allied soldiers who are doing their best.

These Jette,., tc tAe (t/itc,- Ca·n dide Accused 01 Superlicialily Dear Editor: It is rather interesting, I feel. that Candide has chosen to call A. H. Kook a "twentieth-century Voltaire." It appears that Candide has learned somewhere that Voltaire was supposedly renowned for h i s scathing remarks about conditions which he felt should be scathed. Voltaire was disturbed by what he felt was the prevalence of man's inhumanity to man in a hostile universe. In particular. Voltaire attacked the idea that certain conditions must be tolerated simply because they are part of a preestablished harmony, a term which man had invented solely for the purpose of rationalizing the injustice and inhumanity of the world. Faulty Connection Exercising his little knowledge of Voltaire. Candide feels he sees a connection between the scathing attacks of the former and the scathing attacks of A. H. Kook. In truth , there is a connection between the two, but such a connection is a compliment to A. H. Kook and not a sneer at his position; however, it is a sneer that Candide very obviously intends. Like Voltaire. A. H . Kook has attacked the inconsistencies of his world. He protests against the asininities which bind together certain individuals in certain cliques, namely a smouldering dislike for the challenges which I earning offers them. and a jealous hatred for the person or group which excels in thinking differently - in short a xenophobic reaction toward a n yo n e daring to be intellectual. Now. of course. A. H. Kook has not attacked conditions of the stat- ure as those condemned by Voltaire. but he has protested; he has denounced; and that which he has protested and denounced is worthy of his protests and denunciations. Self-Cultivation A. H. Kook is not content. Hooray! For from discontent comes progress, even though one may find somewhat painful the solution that all one may be able to improve is oneself, that all one may be able to do is to cultivate one's own garden, the moral of Voltaire's Candide. The C o I 1 e g e ' s self-styled Candide reflects a superficial grasp of the names he has chosen to bandy about. He has indeed comp Ii men t e d A. H. Kook . though such was not his purpose. His series of probable situations ( "rejection from his favorite caf table") is an unsuccessful attempt to employ the ridiculous in assaulting a position with which one does not happen to agree. Such an employment of the ridiculous in this situation reflects a tooobvious disdain for those who dare to be different. a too obvious disdain for intellectuality. How dare "Candide" assume such a name when he obviously has no conception of Voltaire, nor of Candide, nor of the moral lesson of this work! This Candide's unbearable use of the 18th century as a motif for his attack on A. H. Kook is intolerable. I too can quote Francois Marie Arouet from my world history text. How dare Candide proclaim himself intellectual when he is so obviously ignorant of concepts in depth. when his only claim to knowledge arises from his grasp of the surface! Name Withheld measures would themselves go a long way in forcing Communists to sue for peace on our terms when we are ready for it. Unconditional surrender of all Communist forces in South Viet Nam should be the only terms upon which we would enter into negotiations with the enemy. The entrance into the conflict by support groups from all SEATO members, France. Great Britain, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand, would give a big lift to the war effort. New Zealand and Australia already have token forces serving with allied units, but not nearly enough. The increased manpower and additional equipment w o u I d help to relieve the pressures upon allied troops a I r e a cl y there, thus enabling the allies to send fresher soldiers into battle. In addition, an alliance of eight nations fighting Communist aggression together in one common purpose would do much to discourage the Communist leaders behind the conflict . Far-reaching War This war goes further than a mere jungle war in a distant land, away from any immediate concern other than casualties. This is a war that will determine the fate of the whole southeastern area of the globe. The free world cannot afford to incur such a defeat. for the productive labors of 185 million people, a population which rivals that of the United States, would revert to th~ Communist war machine. We would lose 65 per cent of the world's supply of natural rubber. We would lose 50 per cent of the world's supply of tin. We would also lose large supplies of copra , petroleum, palm oil, and abaca. Chinese Aggression Red China sees Southeast Asia as the answer to her two most pressing problems: food shortages and the population explosion. The Southeast Asian peninsula is the natural area for Chinese expansion, and the war we are fighting there today is a result of the failure of Red China to provide a decent standard of living for her people. Why then should the defenseless people of Southeast Asia have to suffer for the shortcomings of the egotistical, totalitarian Red Chinese overlords? The position of the U .S. and Great Britain in the Far East is also at stake there , especially the fortress of Singapore and the islands of the Philippines. Thus it is evident that there are many reasons why we fight in that far corner of the world. Ask no quarter and give no quarter; the Communists will qive us none, as they proved in Korea, so why should we be merciful. when we will only get a kick in the face as our reward? We will suffer the same fate as many other civilizations if we fail to face up to the challenges of the Communists. Our fate will be deserved if we cannot recognize our proper responsibility and fulfill it. �WILKES Friday, February 18, 1966 Deluded Student Exposes Batman by BR- 008 Zap-Pow-Blam - and Batman puts an end to the foul trickery of the fiendish Riddler and his evil Molehill Mob - of course!

The Forum functions as an academic platform where students may talk to students, where they are able to establish their particular viewpoints of their individual interests, or where they may present their work in ·their area of study. One of the Forum 's principal objectives is to give the student the opportunity to combine his academic and social lives and to create an atmosphere in which he can share in the luxury of learning over coffee.

Schmidt received this honor for leading the Wilkes gridders to a 7-1 mark and the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division championship during the past season . To symbolize this high achievement Schmidt was presented with a wristwatch by the Sunday lndependent's Tom Heffernan Jr. at the paper's fifth annual All-Scholastic Banquet. This was the first such award ever made by th e Independent and it is expected to become an annual event. Each year the recipient of the award will be chosen from the ranks of all high school and college coa5=hes of all sports in Wyoming Valley . The guest speaker at the banquet was Earl Morrall, IO-year veteran of National Football League play and successor to Y. A. Tittle as quarterback with the New York Giants. The Beacon wholeheartedly agrees with the Independent in its choice and adds its congratulations to Coach of the Year Rollie Schmidt. In last week's sports action, the Wilkes grapplers copped their eighteenth straight victory by defeating Lycoming College 20-9. The Colonels' cagers finished the week with 1 win and 2 losses. downing Drew University 95-73, and bowing to Lycoming College, 100-95, and to Upsala College 78-76. On the swimming scene, the mermen added 2 losses to their log by succumbing to Lycoming, 64-30, and to Pennsylvania Military College, 64-31. Coach John Reese's wrestlers, ranked third in the nation in small college circles, won six out of nine bouts in the Lycoming contest. John Carr. at 177-pounds, posted the Colonels' only fall of the contest by pinning Bob Fleming of Lycoming in 8:35 and thus clinching the meet for Wilkes. Ed Witczak, one of the five freshmen in the Wilkes starting lineup, set the Colonels on their way with his hard-earned 9-4 decision over Garry Guasp, last year's 123-pound Middle Atlantic Conference champion. Jim ROLAND SCHMIDT McCormick followed Witczak with a 4-0 decision over Dale Samuels. After Lycoming captured the 137 -pound bout, the Wilkesmen bounced back to take two in a row with Vic Altonen blanking his 145-pound opponent, 11-0. and Joe Wiendl, at 152, decisioning Steve Saerfel. 10-3.

Northern Division leaders, for the second time this season. The Colonels, led by co-captain Joe Chanecka, went into the lockerroom with a seven point lead. The Wilkesmen, plagued by second half blues throughout the season, fell victim to the Warriors in the second half and emerged on the short end of the game. Against Drew University, the Colonels' offensive proved to be too powerful to be contained by the Drew squad as they whipped the visiting team 95-73. Wilkes quickly commanded the lead early in the first half and held a 42-40 edge at the halftime. The usual unlucky second period did not plague the Colonels in this contest as they continued to boost their lead throughout the second half. In the nightcap of last Saturday's basketball-wrestling double header, Coach Ron Rainey 's cagers lost a heartbreaker as they were edged, 78-76, by U t.sala College. The Colonels opened with a IO point margin by Bob Thompson Joe Chanecka, co-captain of the basketball team, has been selected as this issue's "Athlete of the Week". In the last three cage contests Chanecka has led the Wilkesmen in the scoring department with twentytwo, eighteen, and twelve points respectively. Chanecka, at 5 feet 11 inches, was also one of the top rebounders and playmakers. He took charge of the team in making big comebacks in these last three games. This season he is third in scoring with 192 points, second in assists with 32, and third in rebounding. Currently he is seven th in the league in foul shooting with thirty-six for forty-six. Chanecka has played v a rs i t y basketball for four years and has been co-captain for the past two seasons. He merited this honor by displaying leadership, ability, and a desire to play. He has earned four letters for his outstanding cage play.

My primary reason was to see a friend who is a student there. However, since I am a pacifist and active in the antiwar movement, I brought with me some material on the problems of peace and the war in Vietnam to give any interested persons. When I accepted an invitation from a student to stay in one of the dormitories ( Miner Hall), I was not aware of the existence of a small group of extremists in the dormitory who confront those who have dissenting views with violence and harassment. I had brought with me a quantity of peace literature and pins, a number of copies of the Free Student newspaper, and two books to be read in my spare time; these were stolen from my room and , as I later found out, destroyed in a book-burning session. Later that night members of this group routed me from my sleep with a bucket of cold water. As if this were not enough, the following morning when I inquired about my books and materials, I was threatened with bodily harm, so I left. While I think a majority of the students in the dormitory were not unsym- {t/itc,-i11/ ROSES AND LOLLIPOPS We are grieved to find that The Elect have misinterpreted both last week's editorial (The Elect Select) and the policies of THE BEACON editorial board in this week's Letters to the Editor column. To question the purpose of a student newspaper is a very serious accusation. We are interested in the improvement of the College. When we feel that an area of this campus may be improved - as in the method of choosing the Best Dressed Coed - we believe it is our duty to express our ideas on the subject. To sully our purpose with the attitude that we are attacking the man and not the institution is to be extremely shortsighted, pathetically deaf to any constructive criticism. T O attack a campus organization because of a personal grudge is also a very serious matter. But it is difficult to harbor a personal grudge against someone when one has only a superficial acquaintance with that person. Such is the case with the BEACON editorial board and said A WS members. pathetic to my plight, the students seemed afraid to come to my aid. Some may argue that I had no business staying m the dormitory. If so, I was not informed that I was breaking college regulations. Some may argue that I came to convert students to some alien philosophy. Even if my main reason for being there was to discuss ideology, the campus is the place to voice opinion. Also, I do not think that the principles of pacifism ( brotherhood, love, truth, non-violence, etc.) are alien to our religious and democratic heritage. As the catalogue of Wilkes College says "An educated man ... is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men" and " respects the religious convictions of all men ." If you really believe this, your campus ought to be a place where students from other campuses can come and voice their convictions without fear of physical and psychological harassment. Yours truly, Addison Wilkins • WHERE • Dear Editor: Regarding the e d i to r i a 1 which appeared in last week's Beacon, the "Elect" ( the committee who chose the candidates for the Best Dressed WHEN WILKES COLLEGE Sales Conference BEACON Dear Editor: T h e advertising club of Wilkes-Barre will hold its fifteenth annual advertisins:i and sales conference S a t u r d a y , April 16 at College Misericordia.

The first aim of American policy in South Vietnam should be to give the population the opportunity to choose their own destiny without interference from outside pressures. This outside pressure takes the form of the Communist National Liberation Front, which is controlled, supplied, and run from Hanoi. The Viet Cong use two principal meth~ ads to gain support: the first is to represent themselves as a true nationalistic;; anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist movement with popular support; the second is using terror to force the local populace to support them. In addition to the Viet Cong's fanatical leaders supplied by the North, 14 regular regiments of the North Vietnamese army are operating in the South. Having long since run out of the needed volunteers for replacements, the Viet Cong have resorted to kidnap- AWS Defends Grudge Attack It seems, in the final analysis, that said offended A WS members are guilty of the charge which they have hurled so thought- Votes Sought lessly at the BEACON editorial board.

Coed Contest) would like to make a few brief statements. Before criticizing the method by which the candidates were selected, one should look into the existing policies of Associated Women Students as approved by the sponsor, Dean Ahlborn. It is unfortunate that the Beacon staff had to resort to personal grudges in order to fill up its editorial space, for it was obviously not the policies of the club which was being attacked, but the individual members which constitute it. Fliers were printed and distributed in the cafeteria prior to the meeting, inviting all members and prospective members to come. It is not the fault of those who attended others did not respond. We were very disappointed that our college newspaper had to be so immature in its choice of editorials. As far as Associated Women Students is concerned , this matter is closed. Carol Foresta .

In South Vietnam the majority is against the N.L.F. and its means of using brute force to gain its ends. This is evidenced by the fact that the peasants hide from the Viet Cong and report them to government troops instead of helping them as before. Other Aim The other aim of American policy should be to show the Communists that their attempts to overcome free n a t i o n s through so-called "wars of liberation" will fail. Appeasement would increase this appetite for conquest. The possibility of a global war would become s:ireater if the U.S. left the area. because it would convince the Communists that they had been successful, and would therefore start similar wars throughout the underdeveloped nations of the world. Russians would also decide that the Chinese way of military aggression was succeeding and would try it themselves instead of peaceful coexistence. Underdeveloped nations would give into communism, thinking that the Americans would not stand by them in a guerilla war. Equality Even though our reasons for being in Vietnam are just, the means for fulfillment of our objectives should be also. It has been shown that the North Vietnamese wil not accept any type of settlement which is reasonable ( the offer to rebuild North Vietnam and accept Communists as part of the Southern government for example) . The North insists tQat the Viet Cong should be . the only government and that 'all U.S. troops be withdrawn before any negotiations can be undertaken. What would be left to negotiate? The only possible alternative left for the U.S. for the fulfillments of its obligations and objectives has been the use of military force . We therefore can see that in order to assure self-government and some modicum of freedom it is necessary for the U.S. to continue its military intervention in the area, From the evidence presented, we can say to those critics of our supposedly unjustifiable and imperialist policy, that at least we admit our support and are willing to settle the matter at the conference table. Are the rightous freedom fighters of the N.L.F. and their Northern allies so open or so willing? Lack 01 Cigarettes Protested By Students Dear Editor: We have all heard of the man who walked a mile for a Camel. Apparently this is the situation at the College. Placed about the campus are a number of facilities which are entirely for the convenience of the student and faculty member. At one end of the campus is a cafeteria; at the other, a snack bar. There is a candy machine in the Bookstore, which magnanimously serves as a com- bination post office and general store. There are Coke machines in many dormitories, and the halls of the class building are supplied with excellent water fountains and a liberal number of ash trays, Yet one must walk into town or to the nearest parking lot for a pack of cigarettes. Among the conveniences the College has so generously given us, there is not one cigarette machine.

Her exhibit consists of painting in acrylic medium and prints by lithocut and wooden block. A painting by Mr. Chester Colson has been chosen by the Society of Painting in Casein. "The Quiet Place", a composition of polymer tempera, is being exhibited at the National Arts Club, Gramercy Park South, New York City, today and Saturday. The twelfth annual art show was typically selective, as 3000 entries from many parts of the nation were submitted, and only 132 were accepted. The Society of Painting in Casein was originally formed for painting in casein, as the name indicates, but it was recently expanded to include polymer tempera. A collection of jewelry designed and created by students of the fine arts department, under the instruction of Mr. Anthony Evangelista, is being exhibited in the College library , For many students it was a first attempt in this artistic form. They exploited new techniques utilizing horn, bone, ebony, ivory, and shell to contrast silver, complemented with stones and pearls. Concerning the jewelry Mr. Evangelista said: "It is our firm belief that man can create an aesthetic as well as functional piece of art through any means he selects. Silver is our means. It has been announced that a student art show will be on display in the Fine Arts Center during the performance of the Cue and Curtain plays. Later, the display may be viewed in Conyngham Annex from February 28 to March 6. All paintings are in oil medium . There will also be some collages on display. The annual Art Fair will be held May 18 to 21.

In fact, according to Miss Prokopchak, most Australian immigrants are from Britain. Though the country's immigration is restricted , Asians and Africans are allowed to study in Australian universities. Miss Prokopchak had taken several trips into the Australian Bush and had several times observed the Aborignes. "They are treated the same way as our own Indians, are placed on reservations; and although they are slowly being assimilated and given opportunities, they are generally too backward to take advantage of them."

During the semester break the club sponsored a fourday trip to Vermont, where three members, Leone Stallone, and Jack Jarvala, participated in the New England Colleges' Junior Competition.

It is also possible that the absence of cigarettes on campus is due to an over-developed sense of paternalism on the College's part. After all, cigarettes are harmful to one's health; it says so on the pack. Yet this warning on each pack of cigarettes lets the smoker know what he's "in for" and clearly absolves the manufacturer of all responsibility. Should it not therefore absolve the College from any guilty feeling it may have in allowing its innocent voung to corrupt their bodies? It should, hut thi> College has apparently decided that smoking is bad and therefore that no cigarette machines are good. The College gym recently provided the setting for the Lettermen's Cherry Tree Chop. In keeping with the historical theme, music for dancing was provided by "oldies but goodies" records. The highlight of the evening was the traditional battle of wits and weights, otherwise known as faculty and Lettermen, respectively. The Lettermen emerged triumphant in the pie-eating contest, with Joe Chanecka receiving the pleasure of throwing the remainder of the cherry pies in the face of his worthy, honorable opponent, Dr. H . J. Cox, Southern gentleman. The faculty redeemed itself, however, by soundly beating Lettermen Ralph Hendershot and Rich Roshong. Dean Ralston and Coach Rainey saved face by pooling their brains and brawn , respectively. Friday, February 25, 1966 However, the decision to smoke should be left to the individual student. A m o n g other things, young people go to College to grow up and learn to make decisions. Most Colleges subscribe to this principle and encourage the making of decisions. Decisions are not always right; nonetheless, they are at least decisions. We at Wilkes are not burdened with the problem of making decisions, however. The Colleqe has kindly attended to that for us.

At late morning classes you're too hungry. At early afternoon classes you're too logy. At late afternoon classes you're too hungry again. The fact is-and we might as well face it-there is no good time of day to take a class. What shall we do then? Abandon our colleges to the ivy? I say no! I say America did not become the hope of mankind and the world's largest producer of butterfats and tallow by running away from a fight! If you're always too hungry or too sleepy for class, then let's hold classes when you're not too hungry or sleepy: namely, while you're eating or sleeping. Classes while eating are a simple matter. Just have a lecturer lecture while the eaters eat. But watch out for noisy foods. I mean who can hear a lecturer lecture when everybody is crunching celery or matzo or like that? Serve quiet . stuff-like ai:ichovy paste on a doughnut, or steaming bowls of lamb fat. '. Now let us turn to the problem of learning while sleeping. First, can it be done? Yes, it can. Psychologists have proved that the brain is definitely able to assimilate information during sleep. Take, for instance, a recent experiment conducted by a leading Eastern university (Stanford). A small tape recorder was placed under the pillow of the subject, a freshman named Wrobert Wright. When Wrobert was fast asleep, the recorder was turned on. Softly, all through the night, it repeated three statements in Wrobert's slumbering ear: 1. Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109 and is called "The Founder of English Eclectic Philosophy." 2. The banana plant is not a tree but a large perennial herb. 3. The Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 at Sarajevo by a young nationalist named Mjilas Cvetnic, who has been called "The Trigger of World War I." // --z_.

""I. ~ , ;/_1., ~+\ .· · ·.---~ \j;:\ When Wrobert awoke in the morning, the psychologists said to him, "Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109. What is he called?" Wrobert promptly answered, "Perennial Herb." Next they asked him, "What has Mjilas Cvetnik been called?" Wrobert replied, "Perennial Serb." Finally they said, "Is the banana plant a tree?" "To be honest," said Wrobert, "I don't know too much about bananas. But if you gents want any information about razor blades, I'm your man." "Well," said the psychologists, "can you tell us a blade that shaves closely and cleanly without nicking, pricking, scratching, scraping, scoring, gouging, grinding, flaying or flensing?" "Yes, I can," said Wrobert. "Personna® Stainless Steel Blades. Not only does Personna give you a true luxury shave, but it gives you heaps and gobs and bushels and barrels of true luxury shaves-each one nearly as truly luxurious as the first." "Land's sake!" said the psychologists. "Moreover," said Wrobert, "Personna is available not only in the Double Edge style blade, but also in the Injector style blade." "Great balls of fire!" said the psychologists. "So why don't you rush to your dealer and get some Personnas at once?" said Wrobert. "We will," said the psychologists, twinkling, "but there is something we have to do first." Whereupon they awarded Wrobert an honorary L.L.B.

G~!! PERFORMANCE In MAC Cage Statistics This week the Beacon has selected a member of the wrestling squad as its "Athlete of the Week". Stepping into the limelight is 152-pound grappling ace Joe Wiendl. by Bill Bush As of February 12 , after seven conference games, the Colonels' Reuben Daniels placed ninth in individual scoring in the M.A.C. Northern College D ivision basketball statis tics. Daniels tallied 48 field goals and 20 successful free throws for 116 points and an average of 16.7 points per game. Wiendl, having mangled opposing grapplers on several occasions, is undefeated in dual competition this year. Last week he decisioned opponents from East Strousburg and Dickinson to bring his seasonal log to 7 -0. Since the Wilkes Open, where he scored two impressive victories, Wiendl has shown constant improvement coming down the stretch. Daniels also placed second in the free throw percentage category with 20 successful free shots out of 24 for a percentage of .833. Co-captain Joe Chanecka ranked eighth in the same category with 18 out of 23 and a .783 percentage. Last fall Wiendl was a prominent member of the Colonels' championship football squad. All season he sparkled at his defensive halfback position, thwarting enemy offensive plans. Wiendl is a freshman mathematics major from Westfield, New Jersey. While at Westfield High School, he gained state-wide recognition by capturing New Jersey's 148-pound high school wrestl ing championship. Wiendl also excelled on his high school football and baseball squads. The Beacon staff wants to congratulate Joe Wiendl for his outstanding performance.

Sokash Cue and Curtain's second Evening of Theater presented, as it did in the first, plays of advanced mediocrity, while student acting was, at least in the "Apollo of Bellac," of the highest quality. "The Lottery " is an interesting illustration of the pagan belief in the necessity for human sacrifice in order to propitiate the agricultural gods, whose seeming death man has caused because he has been able to produce a harvest. Man still fears his environment; he still does not yet have the confidence to really believe that he is the center of the universe. But the play is also the dramatization of nonresistance to the dictates of society and tradition. The villagers have long since forgotten the origin of their barbaric game of Russian roulette. Even Old Man Warner cannot remember why ; he only comments that it has always been that way. The villagers have become such sheep that they kill fellow townsmen because of a blind will to stand by tradition. But these themes of environmental propitiation and blind adherence to tradition are really not forcefully presented. Simply because the play is KAELAGEE STRIKES AGAIN-p.3 THESPIANS EMOTE "Apollo of Bellac" cast members Hazel Hulsizer, Gene Suszko, Nancy Leland, and Chuck Petrillo present a handsome appearance. set in a twentieth-century atmosphere, the impact of the horrible fusion of pagan sacrifice and the belief in its necessity is lost. Instead the play the degenerates into a comment on man's insecurity, on man's need for a victim to take unto himself all the punishment resulting from man's -sins in man's world. And here we have a poor variation on the crucifixion theme. ( See how this play makes us stretch the point.) Finally, the play is bothersome since it really does not seem that worthy of such profound ex• tended meanings because it is, itself, absurdly anachronistic. For the most part, the acting was depressingly ordinary; however, there were a few fortunate exceptions. Carroll Cobbs as Old Man Warner did well in projecting the collective apathy of the citizens. Harley Miller, as Belva Summers, portrayed excellently the suppressed reformer of this horrible tradition. Dan Wertz's even, expressionless voice aided in the production of a feeling of impending horror. As the distraught, unwilling sacrifice, Sheryl Ratick was quite good, but ever so slightly did she slip a few times into an ordinary portrayal. The play's set was admirable in that it had in its background a dead oak tree which was not only superb symbolism but also a superb abstraction of the idea of death , the death of the victim. The trivial plot of "The Apollo of Bellac," its paucity of bright humor, were countered by the generally excellent acting of the ca-st. Beacon Vol. XXV, No. 17 In Assembly The College CCUN chapter will represent Nepal at the United Nations Model General Assembly in New York, March I 0-13. Bob Zebrowski , president of the CCUN chapter, will lead a six-member delegation at the National Assembly to be held next week at the Statler Hilton Hotel. Colleges and universities from all over the United States will represent 120 countries of the world in this annual gathering. Freshmen elections were held recently to fill the vacant presidential and secretarial positions. Elected were Michaeal Clark as president and Chris Sulat as secretary. Nepal, the country represented by the College's delegation, is situated between Tibet in the north and India in the south. Nine tenths of the country is mountainous, and its peaks, such as Mount Everest, the world's highest summit, have lured mountaineers from all over the world. Since the land is very hilly, the Nepalese farmers chop terraces in the mountainside to grow wheat, rice or vegetables. Approximately 90 per cent of the nation's ten million people live by farming and forestry. Walled off by the nature of its topography, the remote land had little contact with the rest of the world until World War II. Since then, diplomatic relations, foreign aid, and United Nations membership have been accrued by Nepal. "Being a crossroad between China and India, Nepal's geo-political importance cannot be underestimated," said Dr. Kaslas. The College's student delegation will have some maneuvering to do to reconcile Nepal's national security with India's often inexplicable neutrality. Clark, a biology major from Kingston, is a member of the Biological Society and a Colonel grappler. After graduation he plans to continue his studies in either medicine or dentistry. Miss Sulat, a dorm student of Sturdevant Hall, is from Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. She is a member of the Beac'.>n staff, the girls' hockey team, and manager of the girls' basketball team. After graduation Miss Sulat plans on furthering her studies in journalism. Chairman for the affair from the junior class are Charlotte Peterson and Darlene Moll ; the senior class is represented by Charles Petrillo and Dave Greenwald. Committee heads are Joan Kirschenbaum and Judy Valunas, . favors; Wayne Yetter, band; and Sue Harkness and Jane Jancik, publicity. Chaperones for the affair will be the class advisors. Advisor of the junior class is Gordon Roberts. The senior class has two advisors, both of whom will be present: Dr. Eugene Hammer and Dr. Harold Cox . Dr. Cox, who will present an after-dinner speech, is permanent advisor to the senior class. Templer Plans Forum Speech On C. Rosselli p.4 Elect Clark, Sulal The new banquet room of the Carousel Motel. located on Kidder Street in Wilkes-Barre, will be the setting for this year's Junior-Senior Dinner Dance, which will be held on Saturday, March 12 from 8 to 12 p.m . Music for the semi-formal affair will be furnished by Gino Marchetti, and the guests will be served a buffet dinner in a cabaret setting. To Participate MAC's Friday, March 4, 1966 Carousel To Bost Frosh Jr-Sr Dinner-Dance Campus Group Hazel Hulsizer's portrayal of Agnes was both bright and wide-eyed; she projected extremely well the blushing innocent who quickly catches on to the game that brings about advancement. Your eyes, Chuck Petrillo, how handsome they were! Expressive, too. In its excellence his performance was only rivaled by that of Miss Hulsizer. A very perfect, seemingly immovable, crochety, bitter old man, Jan Kubicki. Et tu, Sheryl Napoleon, only be aware of the change in gender. Nancy Leland walked out rather well as the businesslike, mechanical wife of the twentieth century. Robert Smith and Gene Suszko were effective in their different portrayals of suaveness; however, the former seemed at times to fall slightly below the consistently high standards of his fellow actors. James Gallagher and Earl Orcutt walked well together and spoke their lines equally well. And thank you, David Frey, for tying up so well this handsome play. Congratulations to those connected with set design and set conclusion. The pink and white office setting effectively symbolized the play' s discussion of the effects of a saccharine, of a false, flattery.

He will select the other members of his committee. Student Government is planning to show several films this spring. Possible dates are March 25, April 4, and April 23.

Both performances drew full houses, and in spite of Friday's snowstorm there were only 36 empty seats. Approximately 200 people at a Mental Health and Retardation meeting held in the chorus room attended a rehearsal on Tuesday night, and 25 high school students and their teachers, from Elk Lake , near Montrose , drove down to see a dress rehearsal on Thursday evening. A number of local high school teachers and their parents and teachers of the 17 grade-school c h i I cl r e n who played in The Lottery were our guests at rehearsals and performances. We had calls from Scranton for reserved seats. It is encouraging to the performers and backstage workers that audiences have filled the theatre not only for plays but for concerts and recitals as well. And attendance is not obligatory. Why , I was asked, did you do The Lottery? What does the play mean? Ask what hazing means when well-mannered, normally well-behaved students carry a tradition to extremes and , in the face of reason , create tragedy. Ask what governing means when the innocent permit passionate men to rule by means of threat and terror. Perhaps we did the play because I remember the faces on television of citizens in small towns - housewives, children, workers, and elected officials when in the face of accepted tradition a child was admitted to a public classroom. Perhaps we staged the short story because for 27 minutes actors on the stage remind us of the brutality we fear to see take place in the streets. For 27 minutes we may be repelled , fascinated, puzzled, stunned , but like the miraculous chandelier in The Apollo of Bellac that lights up by its own power, an evil radiance can flame up just as mysteriously in the next room. Other than that, more than 58 students on stage and 40 backstage helped create a vivid and memorable experience for someone who never ceases to be amazed by the accomplishment of a little diligence, faith, and imagination. Gratefully, Alfred S. Groh There was once a pompous, somewhat stagnant little community called lmageville. . The citizens of lmageville were very proud, and especially conscious of one particular quality - their freedom. These citizens preached Democracy. One day, a stranger entered the village, carrying plans for a butter factory. He established residence at the Hotel Major, whose other residents all worked in a gun factory. The stranger attempted to explain the benefits of erecting a butter factory in the town. But his housemates would not tolerate a butter factory in their little community. Thus, they burned the plans for the stranger's factory and ejected him from the Hotel Major. lmageville still stands. Its citizens still preach democracy. The residents of the Hotel Major work happily in the gun factory, still ignorant of the stranger's ideas. Ah, Democracy! Ah, lmageville! CLASSIFIED Wanted: One donor (anonymous preferred) to add MANUSCRIPT films to the program of the Fine Arts Center. It seems that the Center is equipped for all forms of artistic expression, including painting, dance, music, drama, and films. Almost. You see, someone did remember to install a screen for film projection. A nice big screen. But. What good is a dancer without a stage? A pianist without a piano? A film without a projector? The Center for the Performing Arts is equipped with a stage, two pianos, but no project~r. Not even on~. ~f ,cour~e the projector used in Stark 116 is still around. But it isn t built for any place larger than a lectu~e room, an~ to wire it in the Center would be complicated and time-consuming. Certainly the MANUSCRIPT films deserve t~e plush atmosphere which the other branches of the Arts receive. So what are we waiting for? Films 'a wastin'! by Lewis Chere vice-president of I.R.C. The basic question which must be answered before making a decision as to whether Israel, as a religiously oriented state, has a reason to exist as such in today's world, is whether any such state, created out of religious considerations , can be justified. Religious Grounds To this question I say that no state of consequence which, excluding the Vatican and S.M.O.M ., can justify its existence on purely religious grounds. This opinion is based on the fact that of the five major trouble spots in the world today, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic , Rhodesia , Pakistan-India , and the explosive dispute between Israel and her Arab neighbors, two are of political origin , one is of n o n-political. n o n-religious, ideological nature, and the last two are the result of attempts to form states on religious grounds. In both cases the initial creation of the religiousoriented state caused wholesale deaths, dislocations, and even war. In both cases, the continued insistence of all parties concerned on issues created a state of continued tension and at least two recent approaches to the brink of all-out war. Only the intervention of the great powers in concert with the UN prevented it from spreading. Thus, three times in the less than 20 years since the attainment of their independence, these states have gotten into situations from which only outside intervention was able to extract them. But hindsight only enables us to prevent the repetition of the mistakes of the East; it does not provide the solution to the problems of today.

NEWS EDITOR Judy Valunas COPY EDITORS Paula Eike - Nancy Leland tion is it possible to conceive of the dissolution of a prosperous and progressive state like modern Israel. Such a solution would create more problems than we already have. It is my belief that the solution lies in the abandonment by Israel, in the hopes that her neighbors will follow her lead; of the emphasis upon the Jewish religion which has permeated her politics since her inception as a state. Those policies have been based on two ideas which were behind the agitation for the original creation of a Jewish state. Unjustifiable Claim The first idea was that of recreating the traditional state of the Jewish nation at its original location at the crossroads between Asia and Africa. Even before its final destruction in 70 A .O. the state of Israel had never been completely safe, for by its very location it was bound to be the object of continual struggle. But the Diaspora of the Jewish People occurred 1,890 years ago.

Whatever other people say about me I'm not. I am what I want myself to be. What I'm out for is a good time and all the rest is propaganda." These words. spoken against the opening shots of Karel Reisz's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, appropriately prepare us for what follows in this highly acclaimed "angry young man" film from Britain. What the film lacks in the way of an interesting story, it makes up for in its arresting portrait of Arthur Seaton. a non-conformist factory worker in northern England who is not only anti-establishment but contemptuous of his proletariat coworkers. Perhaps it is just the fine acting and personality of Albert Finney in his first film role as Seaton that makes th is character a successful portrait. Arthur is a living, breathing character, larger than life, who manages to appeal to our sympathy and evoke our understanding. The "angry man" movement began unexpectedly with Jimmie Porter in John Osborne's Look Back in Anger. This led to Joe Lampton in Room at the Top, Colin Young in The Loneline·s s of the Long Distance Runner, Machin in This Sporting Life, and others. including Arthur Seaton. Just what these young men were rebelling against was unclear. Since then we have come to know it as the "establishment... They were outsiders who wanted in. Lampton and Machin made it; Porter, Arthur, and Colin did not. efforts are misdirected. "I want more in life than my mom and dad got," he tells us, but then he doesn 't do anything to get it. He sweats over a machine all week long and then blows his wages on a drunken binge every Saturday night. He wastes his time fishing and pulling foolish pranks and is contemptuous of all authority as represented by his bosses and the police. "Don't let the bastards grind you down," he sneers angrily. But he does nothing to remedy his situation. Instead, he aggravates it by asking for trouble by having an affair with his boss's wife and antagonizing his nosy neighbor. He refuses to be tied down to anything for long, including marriage. "I won't get married till I'm good and ready, " and he is contemptuous of those who do get married. "They all get caught in the end, though , don 't they. They all get caught by the bait. " Consequently, he wavers between two women, refusing to become committed to either one. Appealing Maverick had seen whole sections of the film before. Perhaps this is why the "angry young man" and "kitchen films" died out. As stated before, the success of the film lies in the portrait of Arthur as an angry young man. It has been suggested that the ending, in which Arthur himself finally succumbs to marriage ( we are led to believe that the beating he received knocked some sense into his head) , is a compromise because film-makers did not have the courage to follow through and in effect, sold out their artistic integrity to convention. This reporter disagrees , for this film is not so much an account of an angry young man as an account of the maturation of an angry young man. It is inevitable that Arthur should eventually conform. He cannot go on living a lifetime of Saturday nights; he must eventually awaken to his ultimate Sunday morning. Moreover, we know that Arthur has not had his last fling ; from now on, they will just be fewer and with more time in between. H e gives in, but not all the way. "I still got some fight left in me." If his anger is lessened and his goals still far-off, he will never be what he fears most - "dead from the neck up. All this is told very effectively in the film . If Arthur is something of a maverick, he is an appealing one. The film is frequently quite funny and never lags. This is due largely to some fine casting of minor roles by Fine, Though Flawed Reisz, in addition to his realistic, incisive film-making, which although his Manuscript has brought us a fine , technique becomes a little too arty at though flawed film, for it contains a times, is not consistent with the sub- lesson pertinent to all - don't be an ject matter.

This year over 160 wrestlers, representing 20 Middle Atlantic Conference colleges a n d universities, will be out to dethrone last year·s conference ch amp ion, Temple University. West Chester, Temple, Wilkes, Lycoming and Hofstra are all expected to wage a close battle for this year's crown. Competition this year is expected to be very interesting with many individual outstanding wrestlers, representing weaker teams, in a position to act as "spoilers" to any of the big five. In previous tournaments the Colonels have captured five out of nine team titles. The charges of John Reese are in a good position to capture their sixth crown. The Wilkes Colonels with a 10-1 seasonal log will enter three unbeaten grapplers in the tournament. John Carr, captain of the Colonel matmen and last year's 167-pound champion in the M.A.C. Tourney, will be back to defend his crown. Carr, who recently gained honorable mention on the All-American college wrestling squad, has a 9-0 log this year, including six decisions and three pins. Freshman Joe Wiendl will be out aft er the 152-pound title. The former New Jersey High School wrestling champ has a 9-0 record. Alain Arnould, at the heavyweight position , goes into today 's action with a 7-0-1 record. Earlier this year Arnould drew with a heavily rated opponent from Mansfield to put the only blemish on his undefeated record. Other probable Colonel starters are Ed Witczak-123, Jim McCormick-120, Jim Coffman or Joe Kiefer-137 , Vic Altonen-145, Dick Cook- 160, and Fran Olexy-177. In addition to Carr, Gary Guasp, Lycoming-I 23 , Bob Milone, Temple130, Al Lilley, Temple-147, Ron Bavaro, Gettysburg- I 57, and Dick Horst, Albright-I 77 are all back to retain the crowns they captured last year. by George Pawlush Although the Wilkes mermen encountered one of their most dismal campaigns this season one of their members sparkled in competition.

COX, FARRAR DEBATE VIETNAM WAR TACTICS The senior class will sponsor a dance in the gym on Friday, March 18, from 9 to 12 p.m., featuring Mel Last week 's assembly was a debate Wynn and the Rhythm Aces. Adinission will be 75 cents. between Dr. Harold Cox and Mr. Welton Farrar, with Mr. Joseph Kanner as moderator. Dr. Cox upheld the affirmative side of the question of HAPPY whether all-out bombing should be used against North Vietnam, and Mr. ST. PATRICK'S Farrar argued from the negative point of view. Mr. Kanner first announced the rules DAY to be followed in this debate - that there was to be a ten minute state- ment of positions by each debater by five-minute rebuttals. Dr. Cox felt that the utilization of enclaves, which had been proposed by General Gavin, was useless since the establishment of fortified positions would do little to help the United States in the offensive side of the war. He also stated that the United States should use more air strikes in destroying North Vietnamese supply lines. Mr. Farrar's stand was that it was morally wrong for the United States to interfere in a Civil War. He stated that the domino theory was largely fallacious, and he felt that the South Vietnamese had the right to decide on what government would control the country. Students were given questionaires containing eight questions to be answered either yes, no, or indifferent. The results of this survey will be published in next week's Beacon.

WORLD WITHOUT HOPE That serve but to divide the world; Alumnus Condemns Campus Violence It is no longer a source of hope for the youth. Dear Editor : The pulpit is but a launching center Of unwarranted tirades of wrath The palace is a worse slave of hatred and wrath; The leaders run in an endless circle of Indecision and uncertainty. Why - we wonder - why can they not Give hope to the youth through universal love? I was shocked to read in the February 25 issue of the Beacon, the letter from the young man who met violence and harassment while on a visit to Wilkes. Assuming the facts as given to be true , it is repugnant to any Wilkes student or to any person in a free society that this man should be tormented because of his beliefs. Aside from the actual physical abuse, which for any reason has no place at the College, the motivation for this behavior is frightening. I remember my first years at Wilkes back in 1955 when we had individuals who held the complete gamut of political thought living in any dormitory , and how, though there may The world is a mass of clouded uncertainty; Its fate is determined by hatred and selfishness; And in the name of principles and policies The world stands enveloped in sheer hopelessness. Can't people say, 'Yes I'm my brother's keeper'? Can't they in good nature and boldness Extend a brotherly hand, talk their differences by Stanley Jones And give the youth hope in peace? Perhaps we ourselves have sinned - sinned by silence; Indifferently we have watched the widening gyre. Now we sit down, close our eyes and our ears, And without hope we feed on nightmare. This idea taken from Abraham Lincoln's 'To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men'. Cyprian J.

Editorial and business offices located at Conyngham Hall, South River Street, Wilkes - Barre, Pennsylvania, on the Wi lkes College campus. SUBSCRIPTION : $3 .00 PER YEAR All opinions expressed by columnists and special writers, including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this publication , but those of the individual,. Despite the rather vehement attacks by President Nasser upon Israel. this small country of two million people is absolutely necessary at least, for the present, to further Nasser's dream. This dream can best be described by the term " PanArabism." At its best, Pan-Arabism is a dream of a strong Arab world, united in a political. social, and economic sense, to bring about a better way of life for the Arab people and to establish the Middle East as another world power center between East and West. At its worst, it is a dream of another great Egyptian civilization , led, of course, by that paragon of virtue , honesty, and humanitarianism, Colonel Abdul Nasser. Catalyst Perhaps the word is not virtue , but rather, vituperation, for Nasser's favorite pastime seems to be that of berating the efforts and condemning the actions of a people who, we all have to admit, are justly trying to find their place in the world . Whether he has just cause for his actions is really not what is concerned here. What is immediately important is that in Israel. and in his fantasies about Israel, Colonel Nasser has, or believes he has, discovered the catalyst for uniting the Arab world ( a compound which may prove unstable and explode in his face). With the decline of Western colonialism in the last few years, Colonel Nasser has lost his major target for denunciation. No longer can Western colonialism readily be used to arouse the fears of Nasser's neighbors in order to encourage them to follow this miniature George Washington of the Nile. David vs. Goliath But luckily, there before his eyes was that monstrous , expansionistic , militaristic giant of a nation - Israel. all 8,000 square miles of it with 2 million people. Now the reason for Nasser's fear can readily be seen, for the Arab world has approximately 80 million people on a land area of approximately 2,443,000 square miles. So he rants, raves , shouts, exclaims, warns, and berates, and soon he has a core of fear about which he can fulfill his dream of Pan-Arabism . Without the state of Israel Nass er would never be able to achieve his aims. Israel offers Nasser an excuse to assume the leadership of the Arab world; it offers a way in which his countrymen can "Jet off steam ," so to speak, and perhaps not notice the filthy hovels they are living in ; it offers an excuse to forget about social and economic progress and instead to pour money into the formation of a strong military establishment. ( Perhaps this latter is necessary to protect Nasser, not from Israel, but from his own people.) But most important of all , Israel offers an excuse for Nasser. Thus we can see just why Nasser needs Israel, for it is only through the hatred and fea r of this tiny nation , engendered mainly by himself, that Nasser is able to secure the basis for Arab unity and find purpose to his own rule. Unfortunately, his own people must suffer in order to satisfy the whims and caprices of this dictator. Propaganda Perhaps this presentation is a little one-sided, but before judging this reporter's point of view, one should look at some of the ideas of Nasser and his cohorts and the ways in which they express them. "I am not fighting against Israel alone, but also against international Jewry and Jewish capital. " We are today engaged in a military dispute with the enemies. The enemies are Israel and Zionism; they are the first enemies which need to be liquidated. "Those people responsible in the Arab countries must know that if they do not fight Israel. Israel will fight them . If they do not put an end to Israel. Israel will put an end to them. We cannot help being in a state of war with Israel; thus we are obliged to mobilize all the Arab potential for Israel's final liquidation." Perhaps the final solution to Nasser 's Israeli problem would be to grow a little black moustache, Heil , Nasser! have been violent disagreements, they were always kept on an intelligent, verbal level. I shudder to think that these are the type of people the College is now producing to send into a free and open society. As a career military officer I cannot defend this man's views on pacifism, but I am sworn to protect his rights, and shall protect them , to hold these views and those that oppose him . But to squelch his voice by violence and book burning smacks of the same type of tyranny we have fought and are fighting to prevent. And to take place at Wilkes, an institution of enlightment, is indeed a foreboding of what our country's future holds in store. Sincerely, Lt. Clifford Kobland USAF Chere Revisited Dear Editor : I was surprised to read of Mr. Chere's " newest Jewish solution" to the Middle East problem. The fact that I spent nine weeks working on a kibbutz in Israel , living with the people and traveling through the land , has given me a different perspective towards Israel than the pragmatic mind of Mr. Chere. The problem of the Middle East can't be based on one fac tor , because too many hidden concepts are involved. For Mr. Chere to place the whole blame of the Middle East on the fact " that solution lies in abandonment by Israel .. . of the emphasis upon the Jewish religion w hich has permeated her policies since her inception as a state," is not rig_ht. Open Door I think Mr. Chere is rolling the concepts of religion and culture into one big ball. I admit that the cultural " spirit of the land" has been infused into almost every policy Israel has made in connection with their Arab neighbors. It does this for the simple fact that it wishes to perpetuate itself as a sovereign nation outside the sphere of Arab rule. It would be foolhardy for them not to place such an emphasis on the "Jewish aspect" of Israel considering that the hope and strength of Israel lie with the persecuted Jews of the rest of the world who come to Israel. Contrary to Mr. Chere's belief, Israel now welcomes anybody into her land. She needs people. A country of 2.5 million people in a sea of 60 million Arabs takes refugees from every part of the world. Finally, Mr. Chere made the statement " that after almost 2000 years any people could still have a justifiable claim to an area is to stretch the imagination beyond all limits." A fact that often surprises people is that despite the conquest of Palestine by nation after nation, there were always Jews living in Palestine. In addition to this , a valid document also gives some claim to Israel as the land of the Jews. I think it is called the Bible.

Irish Avenge Wrongs On St. Patrick's Day by Helen Dugan With the many festive dates throughout the year, the specific meanings of these special holidays sometimes become forgotten or at least distorted. They merely become excuses for wild parties, late hours, and other unspeakable behavior - oh, the distorted idea of it all! A poignant example of this perversion is St. Patrick's Day. From 461 to 1916, Ireland set this day aside for the reverent remembrance of its patron saint - St. Patrick. Until 1916, the Irish were being helped by the kind, maternal hand of Britannia. It was a wonderful family relationship. Great Britain even supplied a 163 foot statue of her most honorable naval officer - Admiral Horatio Nelson to be placed in Ireland's fair city of Dublin . observation, and therefore he would land in the trunk of the Englishman directly in front of him who is straddling the green pole with the "Top of the Morning" sign on it; or else the Englishman will boldly scan the disaster line, causing hypnotic transfixion , pea-green eyes, and nausea. A third reaction to the Irish green is uncontrollable rage. The Englishman of this character is usually the one who is married to a sweet little Irish lass who woke him up this morning with the blast from her cute green pinafore and "When Irish Eyes are Smiling," and who "just for kicks" put green food dye in his toothpaste. This poor husband was on the verge of insanity when he left the house, and the green line was the last straw - especially since some joker painted it right up his paved driveway and over his new violet GTO. But this homey tranquility was rudely torn from the eager lives of the Irish by some deranged sadist who started the Easter uprising of I 916 which ended in independence from the British mother for Southern Ireland. His drive through town with the rest of Ireland· s forgotten friends proves to be hopeless lunacy. Turning from the green lines, the crashed cars, and officer Callahan, our homicidal Limey now looks for serenity in the suburban district. For the first time Away from its protector, Southern since his early morning sing-along, he Ireland was subjected to horrifying can loosen his tie and relax. He autoanti-British propaganda. Because they did not have their mother to guide them, the Irish soon began to believe the awful rumors that England's dominance had not been for the good of all of Ireland. And alas, the Irish were rebuffed and became bitter to the poor, tender country of England; Since the establishment of this freedom, St. Patrick's Day has no longer been a day for holy remembrance but one for Irish revenge. For weeks, even months, before that glorious seventeenth day of March, the Irish band together in little IRA groups to think of devious ways of provoking the English. One of their most successful methods was the use of bright green paint. It is a known fact that the English have sensitive eyes; therefore, by painting a bright green stripe up the middle of the road they are successful in causing at least one accident for every two English drivers. Their theory is easy: the Englishman will either avoid looking at the line, which would also entail avoidance of road matically reaches for the radio switch. The news is just coming on. As he settles back in the seat, he numbly smiles through the marine landing at Vietnam, the falling stock market report, and the Tokyo plane crash, but he bolts upright as he hears: "Today in Dublin the IRA bombed Admiral Nelson. And now back to our program. 'Well, you take the high road and I'll take the low road and . . . The rest of the song is muffled by the sound of English tears falling on the metal tabs of the little jacket they are putting him in. It is a little green jacket. As they carry him from the line that he is trying to tear off the road , he looks up into the face of a friendly old doctor with tight curly hair and freckles who is softly saying to him, "Now what would ye be trry'en to do. laddie?" ---Who said the English won!

Alamnas Becognizecl The "Art Notes" of the New York Times recently commented on the achievement of a Wilkes alumnus, Steve Poleskie. Mr. Poleskie, a former art major, and self-taught silk screen printer, started the Chiron Press in New York City two years ago. His "Chiron " did the benefit posters for the Paris Review and shared with the production of prints for Phillip Morris' Pop-Op portfolios. Mr. Poleskie is presently working on a portfolio of contemporary art. Amnicola News Grace Jones , editor of the Amnicola, has announced that there will be no more orders taken for yearbooks. She continued to say that orders for yearbooks that have not been paid will be canceled. The cost of the book for personnel and faculty will be $6.50; seniors, $1.50; and underclassmen, $1.00. College Buys Church Land The College recently purchased the property of the First Church of Christ's Scientist, located between Gies and Pickering Halls on Franklin Street. The area in front of the church building will be used to accommodate the College's new library; however, the church will remain intact. The $160,000 purchase is expected to save the College money in its long range plan. Once Gies Hall is demolished, the three story library can be spread from the faculty parking lot to Pickering Hall across the front of the church . Without this additional ground, a building of smaller area but of greater height would have to be constructed at the site of Gies Hall. Elevators would be necessary . Furthermore, the church building, which is being used by the congregation until a relocation can be made, will be used as a lecture hall with a capacity of approximately 200 students.

Under the superv1s10n of Irene Scheihing, a senior history major who has made the greenhouse her hobby, the plant has blossomed its salmon-colored Hower for the first time in five years. The College greenhouse, unknown to many students, is located on the top Hoar of Stark Hall. The College is one of the few local schools possessing a greenhouse, particularly one with automatic controls to regulate atmosphere conditions such as temperature and moisture. an increasing number of students are employing their talents in this field. The botany class is presently using the facilities for cultivating tomato and coleus plants. In the genetic field, one class is working with radiated oat seeds to determine the genetic changes in the plant. One project in particular is that of orchids. It is rare to find a locally grown collection of orchids because the plant requires tropical conditions. Here at the College, Dr. Charles Reif has built a special " house" for his collection, having all the requirements to simulate the natural habitat of the orchid, and expresses his hope of displaying an orchid bloom.

Thus, the brickwork complex should be open for habitation beginning in the fall semester. The dining hall is designed to seat some 700 students. Contrary to the present cafeteria, it will be equipped with wall-to-wall carpeting which has proven to be easier to maintain than asphalt tile. The new dormitory, which will house 264 men, will be proctored by Arthur Hoover and five other men.

Cue 1111d Cu,-t11i11 C11,t, 'MAD WOMAN' VISITS CAMPUS Casting was completed recently for ··The Mad Woman of Chaillot," a comedy by Jean Giradoux. The play, Cue and Curtain's first full-length production in the Center for the Performing Arts, is scheduled for Friday, April 29, at 8:15 p.m. and Saturday, April 30, at 2:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. At a recent meeting Alfred S.

Other principal parts will be taken by Hazel Hulsizer, Beverly Wisloski, and Margaret Klein as the three Mad Women; Lynn Mallory as Irma; Dan Wertz as the Ragpicker; Jan Kubicki as the Prospector; and Carroll Cobbs as the Deaf-Mute. "The Mad Woman of Chaillot" ran for 297 performances at the Theatre de J'Athenee in 1945-46. When it was presented on Broadway in 1949 it was awarded the prize of the New York Critics' Circle for the best play of the year by a foreign author. The play has a cast of 29 men and 15 women. The setting is Paris, in the fashionable district of Chaillot and provides opportunity to use the trap doors in the stage Boors. Tickets for all performances will be reserved. Each student will be given one ticket, free of charge, for the performance of his choice. These will be available through Millie Gittins at the Rookstore. All other tickets for family, friends, and members of the community will be available starting April 18, at the cost of $1 per ticket. These can be obtained from Stephen J.

The Psychology Club was granted $125 for 40 people to attend a conference . The Junius Society would like to show a film and requested funds to obtain it. However, it is against Student Government policy to grant money to · clubs not covered by its budget, unless funds are requested for a conference. Seniors Plan Mid-Semester Tranquilizer The class of ·66 is sponsoring a dance in the gym tonight to rid the student body of mid-semester blues. Charles Petrillo, president of the class, has announced that the Rhythm Aces and their featured vocalist Mel Wynn will be on hand to provide the musical background for the evening. Tickets for the dance will be on sale at the door for the nominal fee of 75 cents. Dancing will begin at the gym at 9 p.m. and continue till 12 p .m. Paul Bachman is general chairman of the dance. Assisting Bachman in his duties is the following committee: Lois Petroski and Paul Mocko, tickets; William Webb, Harry Wilson, John Cavallini, collection; Karen Moran and Mark Bencivengo, refreshments; and Bob Deets, publicity. wn All the dormitory rooms will have built-in closets and desks. Individual beds, built-in lighting, wall-to-wall car• peting, and electrical heating will add to the students' comfort. Each Boor will contain a lounge and three separate study rooms which are to be used exclusively for study purposes. There will be two students living in each room . All furnishings of the approximately two million dollar complex have been chosen to complement the structures themselves. Cull Oil Corp.

AMNICOLA Requests Return of Forms by Carol Gass The freshmen, sophomore and senior classes recently held meetings. At the freshman class meeting the new executive council was introduced. Marc Levey stated that the constitution committee had met and that the new constitution will be put before the executive council for approval. Mike Clark, class president, said that a special class meeting may be held to ratify the constitution and to report on the dinner-dance. If a special meeting is not called, the next scheduled meeting will be on April 26 to nominate Student Government representatives and class officers. Gordon Roberts, class advisor, remarked on the good work being done by the officers, and also asked that the class support the dinner-dance. At both the freshman and sophomore meetings, plans for the dinnerdance, to be held on March 26, were discussed . The affair will be held at the Manfield ballroom from 8 until 12 p.m. A hot buffet will be served from 8 until 9:30 p.m. and the Ray Barno Combo will play frolJl . 9 till 12 p.m. The cost will be $5 per· couple. Special invitations will be sent to the chaperones, Dr. and Mrs. · David Tappa, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Reif and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kanner. At the sophomore meeting, Matt Fliss gave the Student Government report. Plans are being made for the Cinderella Ball, which will be held on May 6 at the Dorian Room of the Host Motel. The Intercollegiate Hoot• enanny will be held on May 7; there will be no spring concert this year due to difficulties in scheduling a group.

A slight majority of 50.8 per cent were in favor of ending the war now, with 43.7 per cent wanting to continue, and 5.5 per cent unconcerned. Senator Kennedy would be pleased to hear that 60 per cent of the questionnaires favored his proposal of meeting the Viet Cong at the peace table, while 30.6 per cent registered objection and 9.4 per cent indifferent. For the question "Should the United States formally declare war against North Vietnam?" , 50 per cent replied "no," 46.4 per cent ··yes··, and 3.6 per cent no opinion. The most surprising response was to question eight: "ls Red China a threat to further escalation of the war?" On this point, a huge 82 per cent saw Red China as a threat.

CREATIVE INACTIVITY The Student Government's activity calendar is of immense value in that the College's civic and social events are outlined quite early in the school year. In fact, such scheduling is completed during the preceding summer. Normally, such advance notice should preclude any inadequate preparation or program failure by a campus organization. Nevertheless, it is understandable if a campus club, which may quite easily be limited in resources, whether it be leadership or finances, fails to hold an activity on a prescribed date, But such excuses should not be germane to the seeming inability of Student Government to hold to its own calendar dates. A case in point is the Intercollegiate Hootenanny, which, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been rescheduled for early May to replace the Spring Concert ( which - for the moment - has been dropped). It is also in the wipd, where most of Student Government information lies, that Student Government will supplement the Manuscript film program by providing its own complement of films. The extra films are certainly appreciated, but one wonders if this is not an example of Johnsonian "creative inaction" which easily uncuffs Student Government's hands in providing its own share of more varied campus activity. Apparently, the buck doesn't stop at every president's desk. Student Government membership is certainly large enough to handle the needs of program preparation and execution. Wasn't this the point behind the recent enlargement of Student Government membership? Finances, also, should not be an overwhelming problem either ( unless it is the difficulty of finding the zealous treasurer to sign receipts). Whether or not it is generally recognized or appreciated, Student Government is generously funded by the administration from students' tuitions. Financial problems as an excuse rather than a reason for failing to provide scheduled programs has been a ruse too long. Perhaps the problem lies in financial management rather than financial resources. CHERE INSTRUCTS SAIDMAN ON PO·LITICAL REALITIES Dear Editor: In beginning my reply to the letter of Mr. Saidman, I would like to acknowledge the fact that on one point his reply to my article is correct: I am a political pragmatist, and as such, I can regard politics without being misled by idealism, something which anyone who would spend nine weeks working on a kibbutz cannot claim. I do not believe that Israel is the cause of all the trouble in the Middle East. To believe that would be as absurd as the creation of Israel was in the first place. The trouble between Iraq and Kuwait, the threeway problem between SaudiArabia, Yemen and Egypt, and the border disputes of Trucial Oman are, by no means, except geographically, related to the problems concerning Israel. But an end to the Arab-Israeli dispute would measurably reduce the tensions in the area, and the reason for that dispute is and was based on the creation of Israel as a religion-oriented state. With regard to the statement that Israel had to adopt a uni- llie1t1p1i11t '66 Nuclear Nationalism Demands Responsible Control Policy In any event, there may well be proper and valid reasons for the apparent lethargic activity of Student Government ,,.... if only these reasons were available.

Lewis Chere Monopoly Undermined Until October, 1962, nuclear weapons were a monopoly of two large power blocs, the Soviet Union and the AngloAmerican. With only two fingers on the atomic trigger, the world was caught in the middle of a " balance of power" of the post-World War II era. But when nuclear stockpiling by both powers resulted in an atomic stalemate and a Cuban missile crisis in 1962 showed that the "super powers" would not start a nuclear war, a strange phenomenon occurred in history. De Gaulle began to develop his "force de frappe" or a French independent nuclear force. In 1964, Communist China served notice it had joined the nuclear club. Mao Tse-Tung has even taunted the American Paper Tiger ( which Khruschev said has "nuclear teeth") into a future atomic war, by saying that he would be willing to sacrifice the lives of 300 million Chinese for the sake of world domination. The further refusal of Communist China to sign the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of August, 1963, has led to a wave of "nuclear nationalism" with many underdeveloped nations seeking nuclear weapons for security and prestige ( to get its peoples' minds off their empty stomachs). Today, West Germany is seeking a " place in the sun" by requesting NATO to supply its forces with atomic weapons so that it might have its own nuclear umbrella to prevent a future Russian invasion. Israelis, with a French-built nuclear reactor, are trying to keep their island in the middle of a sea of Arabs, while Egypt's Nasser, with German help, is seeking his own nuclear war. Noted authors on world affairs tell us that Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, India, East Germany, Italy, Indonesia, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, and Argentina have the technical capabilities to become nutlear powers within the next few decades. Fearful Fantasy The problems which the proliferation of fingers on the nu- clear trigger far surpasses the panic which many American people feel. Some people even envisage an imaginary dictator or madman pressing a button which might cause the "super powers" of Russia and the United States to commit accidental nuclear suicide. This fear is based more on fantasy than on fact . The problem of nuclear weapons spreading is a key issue which the United States and Russia must resolve by joint action. The United States must not become overly moral and say that we should let all nations of the world follow their own destiny without interference. The concept of a sovereign nation , free to do whatever it wants, is being outdated in this interdependent world. What the United States must do, besides trying to get more non-proliferation treaties signed in Geneva, is to use its foreign aid program as a weapon of foreign policy. It can spread its $3.3 billion program to countries if they in turn offer us certain concessions. But, while doing this, we must avoid overly antagonizing highly sensitive states like India, which say that aid should be given without a n y pre-conditions. While the realist would admit that wars will continue to be fought in the future, the U.S., as it is doing in Vietnam , should demonstrate that conventional military power ultimately means more than nuclear power ( and thus de-emphasize the latter's importance).

Perhaps general nuclear disarmament with an elaborate inspection system may be the only final solution to prevent secret production of weapons. If these ideas do not work , the United States and the Soviet Union should declare that they will not interfere if other countries decide to commit nuclear suicide. The issue ultimately at s take is far more important than w hether a socie ty predicated on Karl Marx of Gi:oucho Marx will succeed. The ultimate question is the survival of the human race. Hans Morgenthau , speaking of " nuclear nationalism," said : " To diewith honor is a bsurd if anybody is left to honor the dead." If this advic e is not enough, perhaps it will take a Tully Buscam, a Duchy of Grand Fenwick, and a Mouse That Roared to replace our present-day nuclear sword of Damacles with something more reasonable . 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 An exhibition of 21 paintings from the collection of Mr. Edward Welles, Jr. of East South Street, Wilkes-Barre, is now being presented in Cony ngham Annex and w ill continue through March 25. The paintings, both still -life and outdoor sce nes, a re by local artists. Mr. Well es is a painter himself, and has included one of his own paintings, Country Estate, in th e exhibit. His private collection contains many scenes of Wyoming Valley which w ere co llected by his father , Edward Welles, Sr., and includes one by George Catlin. The cr iterion w hich Mr. Well es uti lizes in selec ting his paintings is his own personal preference. He believes that "A work of art is art only insofar as it affects you, the observer; and it can affect you only through the association which you have built up , learned, over the years." Besides painting, Mr. Welles is interested in astronomy, stereo recordings, and botany. H e has developed a doubl e cosmos which has been shown at many Bower shows. His new breed has won first prize in the "new and strange" category . 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Patronize Our Advertisers 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 St. James Epistopal Church CHARLES ST. , PITTSTON , PENNA .

(Clubs, lectures, concerts, and so forth.)" This question brought varied reactions; many were that Student Government should do something, anything. These people had no construetive ideas to add to their criticism, and perhaps this is also the situation with Student Government. The comments of those who did have suggestions and ideas follow: Charles Petrillo - A working Student Government. Klaus Loquasto - I feel that fraternities and sororities are necessary to any college. I also think that they would do much to improve the spirit of unity on campus. Bill Webb - Nothing, because no one attends anything anyway. Support what you have before you ask for something more. Vicki Tatz - I think there should be more cultural activities such as concerts, lectures on world affairs or cultural events, seminars, ballets, or modem dance programs. Mike Konnick - Breathe some life into the clubs on campus. Student Government might be able to help a little more by aiding financially . There is already an assortment of clubs on campus so I can't see what else could be added. Steve Kish - Fewer assemblies and more evening ··cultural" activities. J. B. Post - The students should take part in the activities that already exist. I think they should have a Bridge Club on campus. Mary Price - Sororities and fraternities. the SPRING VACATION IS COMING Carol Hallester - A Student Union. James Urisko - Good assembly programs where some professional speakers are brought in. Jimmy Hoffa, Senator Morris, Dan Flood, some of our s e n a t o r s and other controversial speakers would probably be only too happy to come and speak at our programs. Why don't we invite them? Don P. Conway - When it comes to a choice between a dance and a beer party, most students would go to the party. However, if some good activities like a concert were offered, more people might stay on campus. Chris Sulat - The only kind of activities we need on this campus are those which will stir up some student activity, such as coal-picking expeditions, or turning the strip mines into ski slopes, or surfing on the Susquehanna. Al Saidman - I'd like to see the College offer a movie every week, of the type that will soon be offered by Student Government, such as Raisin in the Sun. Dan Rosencrance - There rs one course I feel should be offered here. That is a statistics course in the psychology department.

Beacon Vol. XXV, No. 20 Peace Corps Vet To Visit Campas Carol Gass - I would like to see a coffeehouse where students and faculty could meet informally. This would also provide a place other than the cafeteria, where students could congregate on Sunday afternoon, for instance, when the cafeteria isn't available. Friday, March 25, 1966 THE GREAT DEBATE UNDERCLASSMEN PLAN ANNUAL SPRING EVENT by Claire Sheridan Paul J. Lavin , a returned Peace Corps volunteer, will visit the College Monday, March 28, from 9 a ,m. to 5 p.m . In classroom visits and informal talks in the lounge area of the Commons, Lavin will speak of his assignment in Liberia and will explain the opportunities available in Peace Corps work. A schedule of classes that Lavin will visit will be posted and interested students may attend any of these classes. The remaining time will be spent in the Commons, where literature will be available . While serving in Liberia, Lavin, an elementary education major from Boston College, taught English and science in elementary, junior and senior high schools. He spent his spare time in such projects as coaching soccer and basketball, construction, agriculture, and teaching remedial reading. Lavin and another Peace Corps volunteer lived in eight-room mud and cement house with a zinc roof. At llrst their meals consisted of the nearest thing to American food they could llnd - usually canned goods. Later they began to enjoy Liberian dishes of rice with palm butter, collard and potato greens, local vegetables and deer meat.

TOR TO BOST FUTURE COEDS The women·s sorority, Theta Delta Rho , held a St. Patrick's Day Tea for East side high school senior girls who have been accepted at Wilkes for the fall semester. Similarly, a spring tea will be held on March 31, at Weckessar Hall from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. to accommodate the girls of the West side. Approximately 85 girls attended the St. Patrick's Day Tea and were given the opportunity to become acquainted with the College. The program included : refreshments, entertainment, socializing with members of the faculty and administration, and tours of the campus. After being familiarized with the library, cafeteria, various classes and dormitories, the girls conducted through the Center for the Performing Arts by Mr. Groh and members of Cue and Curtain. Lavin is especially interested in speaking to juniors and seniors, and interested students should sit in on a class in which he is to speak or con• tact Lavin in the commons.

Rarely does the student body become so concerned about a campus issue. Dear Editor: Last week an event took place at Wilkes College that was, in the words of the Administration, " rare. " The head But before one adopts a cause, it is necessary to examine of the English Department, Dr. his motives. A crusade for the ideal of academic freedom is very Vincent A. McCrossen was commendable. But a crusade for "an easy grade" is not quite summarily dismissed last Friday. That this action should be so noble. In this particular situation, no student is so well-informed that he can pass judgment - on either the former head of the English department or on the administration. For various reasons, the administration did not find it necessary to justify its actions in a detailed public statement. But, is it the responsibility of the administration of ANY college to explain its actions to the student body? SG PRESENTS EXPLANATIONS In any case, it has become evident to those of you who have Dear Editor : questioned the administration that your remarks have fallen on deaf ears. Students have been - and will be - unsuccessful in initiating any action for the reinstatement of the "wronged" professor. The cold facts of the situation are that students do not have the power to take effective action. The administration has made a decision. The student body must live with that decision, as we have done with other past decisions. Whether that decision is Right or Wrong is of no consequence. The administration feels that it has made this decision "for the good of the College." Dissenters may discuss, protest, demonstrate, picket, etc. But it remains that the decision has been made. For those of you who feel that the decision was Wrong, we refer you to the campus committees on academic integrity and on academic freedom and to the American Association of University Professors. These bodies exist for the protection of professors from Wrong decisions. THINK BIG! Student Government has, in the Letters to the Editor column, defended itself against the criticism it received in last week's issue of the BEACON. Overlooked, however, were several major considerations. Let me explain first that it is not the obligation of Student Government to supply a program of entertainment throughout the year. The Student Government has charge of only a few events. Most of the calendar is allotted to various organizations on campus who submit their requests for dates at the end of the preceding year. These dates are changed in rare instances only, for example Cue 'n Curtain dates are extremely hard to predict a full year prior to a performance. Best Dressed Coed Contest The Best Dressed Coed Contest was also changed when it was learned that the contest could be held in the Fine Arts Center, but on another day. Then again, concerts are not the easiest affairs to schedule a year in advance. When many entertainers had been contacted for the May 7 date without success, an alternate date, May 13, was considered. But then, the administration changed the last day of classes from May We agree that scheduling events on the school calendar almost a year ahead of time is difficult, and it is to be expected that certain changes will be made during the year. But the' excuse that no performers were available for a May 7 concert is hard to accept, unless the attempt to engage them was made at too late a date. In all sincerity, we cannot believe that, if contacted early enough and earnestly enough, somebody could not have been engaged. Dear Editor: Student Government does not like to lose money. So what Attention was drawn in last else is new? Nobody likes to lose money. And nobody is say- week's Beacon editorial to Stuing that Student Government must necessarily take a loss on a dent Government's " apparent concert. The answer is - go big, take a calculated risk.

Expedience was found in moving the date of the Intercollegiate Hootenany, from competing with the Beach Boys, to the date originally set for a spring concert. This had been done well in advance of the date set, and it would not be the fault of the Student Government that it was not in the Beacon. Budget Allocations Finances are yet another matter when one realizes that 80 per cent of the Student Government's budget is committed to other organizations and 75 per cent of the remainder is allocated for designated activities. Nevertheless, this has not been used as an " excuse." We have said, however, that we do not like, nor can we afford , to lose money on a concert when the loss is in the neighborhood of $1500. I hope that I have clarified the questions arising from last week's editorial. John Cavallini President, Student Government sufficient funds may have been a reason on certain specific occasions, but this is not the general trend . The reason calendar changes for last weekend were not explained in last week's Beacon is that they had been discussed in previous articles. Those who wish to be aware of Student Government policies and activities should do so consistently. As for the films supposedly " in the wind ," this plan was mentioned in a Beacon article three weeks ago . If anyone feels that an accurate and complete account of Student Government meetings is not presented to the students in the Beacon, ( and all meetings are so reported) , they are welcome to attend Student Government meetings. They are likely to find their observations will be reported in the following Beacon. It is also true that, on some occasions, reports of Student Government meetings have been reduced or eliminated in the Beacon. In any case, minutes of each meeting are always subsequently posted on the S.G. bulletin board. Those who have suggestions for possible Student Government activities are also welcome to attend any Student A second complaint was the Government meeting at any supposed excuse of finances for time during the year.

In- Dr. McCrossen, one member of the Administration w a s forced to admit, was the most brilliant man on this campus. He also admitted that they were fortunate to get Dr. McCrossen and that it would be almost impossible to find someone with comparable qualifications to teach here. Yet they fired him. All of this may not of itself have meant much to anyone; however, the issue soon had emotion running high when the Administration refused to give a reason for the dismissal to the concerned students or to the professor! Classified Subject When the news media let the public in on their act, the Administration acted quickly to voice their displeasure. The Administration informed the students they had no right to question the act and that the public had no right to know what had happened here. It strikes me as a darn shame that here at the College students are supposed to accept without question any and all acts of those who hold power and even more astounding that the public should know only what the College feels they should know. The public has no right to know what happens here and yet they are solicited every year by Wilkes for funds upon which the College depends for its existence. No Representation The students who were concerned over the obvious usurping of the basic rights of every American citizen sought out the Student Government in the person of John Cavallini , president. The honorable Mr. Cavallini said ( as if he had been coached) that we had no right to question the acts of the Administration. I was glad that I got the opportunity to glean this insight into Student Government's representation of its constituents. Here at Wilkes it is apparent that Student Government is of the students, by the students, and for the Administration. Funny, I always thought they represented us! Unthinking Students Although many s tu d e n t s voiced disapproval through the use of a petition and mass media, their attempts were in vain. However, I think we can all profit in one respect from this action. Now we know just what our rights at Wilkes are - none - and what kind of representatives we got when we voted for Student Government - none. I think we can all benefit from this by not being so naive in the future as to think we are here to think . It is now quite obvious that the one thing both the Administration and Student Government dislike as much as the plague is a thinking student. If we learn nothing else at Wilkes, we have, by virtue of this event, learned that education at the College does not include the right to think for yourself and express opinions not in line with those expressed by the Administration and its assistants in the Student Government.

Professor, President Give Briel Remarks Dear Editor: In re of my dismissal there has been an unbroken refusal on the part of the Administration to give me any reason for it, in spite of requests on my part. Vincent A. McCrossen Dear Editor: In compliance with your request for some statement about the recent dismissal of a faculty member, I am giving you the following explanation. The administration was reluctantly forced to terminate the services of a faculty member in mid-term. I had hoped that the separation could be delayed until the end of the term so that misunderstanding and controversy could be avoided. Unfortunately, the administration was forced to conclude that course requirements would not be met unless an immediate change in teaching personnel was made . Sincerely yours, The "pragmatic" vice president of I.R.C., Lewis Chere. has again raised the contention that Israel has no right to exist as a state. If one is allowed to take issue with Mr. Chere without being labeled an idealist, or being instructed on the " political realities," then I would like to do so. Mr. Chere again refuses to believe that the Jewish people have any valid claim to the territory they now inhabit. What Mr· Chere has overlooked or disregarded is the fact that this claim was verified by the Jewish inhabitants in two world wars, when they fought with the British army in the Middle East. If Mr. Chere cares to check this out, I'm sure the accounts of the "Jewish Brigade" are really available. Israel's right to statehood has been further verified by such pragmatic organizations as the British government in the Balfour Declaration of 1917, and by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Perhaps Mr. Chere should ask himself what a political pragmatist is. Aren't the principles on which the United States is based a little idealistic, Mr. Chere? Perhaps the United States has no right to exist either.

The following students took the examination: Carlton W . Smith, Charles Petrillo, Raymond Lowery, Richard Goodall, political science; Stanley Jones, history; Stephen Van Dyck, economics; Joseph Feigo, business administration; and Anthony Riofski , an alumnus of the College. Students of the College scored above the national average this year on the LSAT. Riofski attained the highest score of students from the College; his score was 660 or 95%. Scores are used in individual counseling and prediction. The LSA T was developed and is administered by the Educational Test- ing Service under the direction of the Law School Admissions Test Council. This Council is composed of schools which are members of the Association of American Law Schools, are approved by the American Bar Association, and require that the test be taken by all applicants for admission. The LSAT is given in two sessions, morning and afternoon. The morning is intended to predict scholastic achievement in law schools throughout the nation. The afternoon session, introduced in November 1961. contains a test of writing ability and a test of general background. The inclusion in the test of general background results from the conviction of the law schools that a lawyer should be more than a mere technician, ignorant of the cultural and histo"rical context within which the law functions.

At first the rate of sinking was so slow as to be hardly noticeable, until the week before last when things rapidly started to go downhill. At least, it reached the point shown in the photo above. Doctor Farley, when asked to comment on this situation, would say nothing except that he felt it was for the good of the students. Accident Questioned Speculation on campus was running wild for some time. Some students felt that the administration allowed the building to sink into the mud in order to bring its activities down to the level of the students. Other students felt that the Fine Arts Center was allowed to sink in order to provide a safe bomb shelter for the administration. A group of students made a valiant attempt to have the administration restore the building to its former position. However, all efforts were in vain. Many students wondered why the building was allowed to sink only half way. They felt it would have been less noticeable if it were allowed to sink completely out of sight as if it never existed. Mud Useful Al Groh, director of Cue and Curtain, felt that the mud would be especially useful for those art majors interested in sculpture. He thought that a great statue could be constructed which would portray the correct image for the students on campus. He also felt that feet could be molded from the fine river clay, to be used on statues of our heroes, which will be placed all over the campus. Now that the Fine Arts Center is in such a strategic location, members of the community felt that it would be an ideal place to tape some popular television series. Already, the producers of Peyton Place have been reported to be looking into the possibilities of filming their series here next season. Now that the furor over the sinking has died down on campus, it has been generally conceded that the administration has made the right decision once again. CENTER SINKS The newly-completed Center for the Performing Arts is pictured above as it appeared last week before the first floor was completely submerged in mud. TDR Sponsors Spring Tea TDR. the College's social and service sorority, recently held a Spring Tea for the inmates of the Luzerne County Prison and the Convertites' Home for Wayward Girls, State Street Division. The social, rather than being held at W eckesser Hall ( which was not available because of two previouslyscheduled faculty women's covereddish suppers, three student-administration rapprochement meetings and one board of trustees conclave), was held at the "BoomBoom-Room" of the Blue Note Lounge. GUESTS SOCIALIZE and cascaded to the Boor in a pin wheel effect. A center piece of rosecolored hollyhocks and trailing arbutis, accented by Virginia c re e p e rs , adorned the table. The guests, who arrived in an unmarked paddy wagon driven by plainclothed policemen, were greeted by "Goldie" Carter; County Warden, Elmo Freebish; and Dean Dervey Hallborn. Refreshments, consisting of 37 varieties of bread and hot water ( tea bags were available for those who wanted tea with their water) were served from 2 to 4 p.m. "Peaches" Latush poured while "Twitch" Deloria sliced the bread. Floral Decorations The theme, "Reassimilation of Our Varied Entertainment Socially Unfortunate Through Understanding," was depicted through rose Highlighting the afternoon was a Inmates enjoy a quiet game of bridge and a and white colored streamers, decora- guest appearance by Soeur Dominique cup of tea at this last in a series of 42 teas tively strung from corner to corner, and the Singing Nones who sang such held this year by the campus service sorority. which met in the center of the ceiling favorites as "Let My People Go," "Satisfaction," "Bye, Bye Jailbird," and "Bang, Bang." Miss Tillie Mittens accompanied the internationallyknown group on the piano. Rounding out the entertainment was a lecture on "Readjusting to Middle Class Morality" given by Miss Marlene Holson of the College's sociology department. When asked why the sorority has departed from its usual teas for old folks and prospective College freshmen, Laverne Foxcroft, president of the organization, stated that the club has decided to widen its horizon in order to better' fulfill its purpose of encouraging better community-college relations. Miss Foxcroft also stated that Student Government has agreed to reimburse the Blue Note for 57 missing dishes and 48 missing pieces of silver. Dean Dervey Hallborn, advisor to the organization, was not available for comment. Administrative Changes Made by Helen Dugan The new administration of the College has been in effect for th ree days a nd has smoo th ed out all th e momentous problems th at have plagued th e College since its eS t ablishment. The initiation of 'the new Wilkes College' stemmed from Tuesday night's Student Government meeting. The members were discussing which activities to postpone or cancel when Phil Cheifetz came bursting into the meeting. Cheifetz, who had been told the Forum was to congregate at the . S tu d ent G overnment mee t mg P1ace, came dashing to the front of the room, speec h in h an d , t h in k ing t h at t h e com· p1ete si 1ence o f t h e meeting was th e I k f anticipation o its ate spea er - Mr• Cheifetz. Cheifetz Overcomes While fervidly delivering his thirty minute speech to the aghast Student Government members, whom he thought were Forum members, Cheifetz aggressively expounded on the necessity of "emancipation." With each thundering word the students became more caught up in Cheifetz' plea for casting aside the shackles until, as he finished with "Jet freedom ring", the students spontaneously rushed to his lectern, hoisted him onto their shoulders and swarmed the campus spreading the plan of 'Coup the College'. Chifetz paralyzed by th e ovation that arose from his 19th century women's suffrage speech, became lost somehow in the exhilarated mobilization and was not located to explain the misunderstanding until this morning. Curriculum Changed Very few of the original administrative officials are still holding their positions since the coup began. Among the renovated positions is the dean of men Poor, dedicated Dean Ralston has been replaced by the much publicized, controversial, Joe Stallone. The nightschool staff has been relieved of its duties by the Economics Club. They have made many alterations in the line of curriculum and course presentation. These changes are so notable that a detailed account of them has been written in several area papers. The finance department is now in the capable hands of the Amnicola staff. Although the staff is finding it a lit~le difficult getting use to seeing such words as "paid," "sufficient funds, " and "over paid" it shows great promise in the administration of this position. As a side comment, Grace Jones has also informed me that the Amnicola expects to meet its monetary demands without any trouble this year. The Lettermen have also profited from the coup since they have placed president Bob Weston as director of admissions. Mr. Weston promised at least 100 freshmen students will vie for team positions in each sport next year. When asked if his new requirements for admissions (a student must be at least 6', 160 pounds, a high school letterman, and have played at least two varsity sports for four years) had anything to do with it, he declined comment. Tea Party The public relations department has been capably filled by Theta Delta Rho, which is celebrating by throwing a tea bash for the ostracized members of the assembly committee. Other activities under consideration by the new public relations department are the erection of "Wilkes loves you" signs and a Community Swing to be held in public square. Cue 'n Curtain and Manuscript have combined to form a new department - The Society for the Preservation of the Performing Arts. Its first -group activity will be the re-filming of Ben-Hur on the commons. Through a combined effort of the Amnicola and the S.P.P.A., William Wyler has agreed to engage the Metro-GoldwynMayer company under the directorship of Stephen J. Gavala for a relatively minimal sum. Because of the many changes, there is rumor that the College will be marched on by the alumni and/or recently suspended students. Whether these demonstrations will be in support or rejection of new administrative policies has not been determined. Although the coup seems at this time to have been a total success, it can not be evaluated sufficiently until the results of forecoming activities are available. �Page2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 1, 1966 Respected Prol Assu•es INCOMING SC LEADER Duties As Dept.

I also understand that you plan cultural activities other than those previously mentioned." Javellini: "Yeah, I was thinking of instituting a program of lecturers, who would talk during assembly programs. Now, these people would be famous; we wouldn't need anybody from the faculty talking about - well, whatever they talk about. For example, I've already written to Norma Mailer and have asked him to come and address the student body on the different areas covered by Greek love. I'm sure we'd draw a crowd on that.

After the College convinced city council that they were serious and the public relations department convinced the residents of South River Street that they weren't, earnest consideration was givent to the matter. After much debate between city council and the College administration, a satisfactory trade was agreed upon: in exchange for a year's subscription to the Beacon the College would be given South River Street. But now the students have been granted this unexpected luxury, new problems have arisen. Students of the College are so unused to having a place other places to park. If the South River Street area is not used for parking, it is possible that some noncomformist will start a campaign to use it for a street - of all things. If this happens the Colleg~ will be obligated to return the street, if the city will not believe that it's a night time landing strip. Thus it is con• ceivable that the College could have a parking problem. The administration is therefore asking the students to please stop parking in alleys and other far away places and to patronize your parking lot. Remember, the lot you do not patronize may tomorrow be a street. the day. The College does, however, lack an organization which would be of great benefit to our work-weary students - a Student Union. A few tiresome weekends ago, several angry young men, after working long hours on the computer housed in our eminent science center, finally found the answer. These leaders invited others to unite with them in this great cause. Soon all the once-bored students were enjoying their new club. The simple entertainments of poker, pool ,and other "house games" provide great pleasure to students who had, for so long, been without them. The leaders concocted exotic nectars by which the students could refresh themselves after their games. Thus our campus now has its Student Union. �WHAT'S PLAYING IN THE MOVIES? the f WE GET LETTERS PAGE 4 Vol. XXV, No. 21 Friday, April 1, 1966 Students .Journey To Hampton SG PLANS ELECTION SCHEDULES by Vicki Tatz Elections for class officers will be held in the next few weeks.

Actors Start Rehearsal For April Perl.o rmaaces ANTIGONE by Steve Gavala Cue and Curtain has completed casting for "'The Mad Woman of Chaillot" " to be presented Friday evening, April 29 and Saturday afternoon and evening, April 30. A satirical two-act farce by Giraudoux, this play·s setting is Chaillot, a di strict in present-day Paris. The play revolves about the daily lives of the common people of this sector - the people of the streets: the deaf mute, (Carroll Cobbs), the rag picker ( Daniel Wertz), the Bower girl (Nancy Noterman) , the sewer man (David Frey) , a doorman ( Edwin Manda) , the policeman (Bob Smith) , and the police sergeant (James Gallagher) . The action concerns the changes in the life patterns of these people which occur when their way of life is threatened by a prospector (Jan Kubicki) in league with an unscrupulous corporation president (Basil Russin) and a baron (Tom Gianinni) . Rallying to the defense of the people, in opposition to these forces of evil, greed, and corruption is Count- ess Aurelia, the Madwoman of Challlot (Elizabeth Slaughter) who, in combating these men and their dev, ious plan, enlists the aid of three of her cronies, mad women of three districts of Paris: Josephine, the mad woman of La Concorde ( Margaret Klein); Constance, the mad woman of Passy (Hazel Hulsizer); and GabrielJe, the mad woman of St. Sulpice (Beverly Wisloski). In an almost surrealistic conclusion, the countess and friends have devised a fitting end for the evil in the world, as personified by several prototypes of all presidents ( Eugene Susko) , press agents (Charles Petrillo), women"s pressure groups (Nancy Leland), and prospectors ( Stephen J. Gavala) . The romantic vein of the play is provided by Irma, the cafe waitress (Lynn Mallory) and Pierre , a potential suicidal (Richard Kramer) . Many new areas of set design and construction will be employed. For the first time in the new theatre, the trap door areas of the stage will be utilized as an integral part of the action of the play. This production employs one of the largest casts of any Cue and Curtain production excluding musicals. Tickets for all performances will be reserved. Each student will be given one ticket, free of charge, for the per, formance of his choice. These will be available the week of April 11, from Millie Gittins at the Bookstore. All other tickets for family and friends and members of the community will be available starting April 18, at a cost of $1 per ticket. These can be obtained at the theatre box office Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Alfred S. Groh will direct the production , Stephen J. Gavala will act as Student Director, and Margaret Klein as Production Coordinator. An urgent plea goes O!Jt to ~ny member of the College community who has developed the skill of juggling , for the role of the Juggler is a necessary one to the action of the production; as of yet, none has been found . Anyone possessing this skill is asked to contact Cue and Curtain . To Be Shown The Manuscript film showings of Antigone w ill be held at Stark 116, tonight at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. The film, which is George Tzavellas' dramatization of Sophocles· tragedy, stars Irene Papas and Manos Katrakis and merited Best Actor Award at the San Francisco Film Festival. Noelle Gillmore does the English subtitles, translating the Greek with an ear for literacy and good taste. The audience is invited fre e of charge and will be refreshed with home-made cookies and coffee. MORNING-GLORY SEEDS $50 PER PACKAGE Carr Suffers 1-Point Loss In by Walt Narcum John Carr's hopes for a national championship were dashed by one point last weekend at the NCAA wrestling championships where he lost an overtime dec ision 7-6 to Vic Marcucci of the host Iowa State team . He was seeking the 160-pound title after winning in that class in the NCAA small college tourney three weeks ago. After scoring a 6-2 decision over Bob Brawley of North Carolina State in last Friday afternoon 's quarter-fin als, the senior Colonel captain had his 23-bout winning streak snapped by a 1-0 verdict in overtime after the pair battled to a 6-6 score in regulation. Coach John Reese, who had visions of Carr bringing home the title after he was eliminated in last year"s quarterfinals in Colorado, was disturbed by the work of the referee but his protests failed to help Carr. Some other coaches agreed w ith Reese that the calls of the officials went against Carr. but they failed to gain the attention of those in charge of the tourney. Th is could possibly have been due to ·the fact that Carr's opponent was a mem ber of the host team. At one point Carr came close to pinning his opponent, but was awarded only 2 points instead of 3. In another instance a takedown was awarded against Carr when it was felt that the wrestlers were off the mat. Marcucci , the official winner of this match, went on to lose to Greg Ruth of Oklahoma on a pin at 8:50 in the finals of the 160-pound class. In the consolation matches held last Saturday night, Carr capped third place in the tourney . Carr defeated Chet Dalgewicz of East Stroudsburg 6-2 in this pairing. Carr's record for the tourney was four wins against one loss, and that, a highly disputed loss in the semi-final matches.

Moravian was held to three hits by Rich Klick and Fred Bauer, but they cashed in on walks to post a 4-3 win over the Colonels at Bethlehem. Wilkes tied the score at three all in the ninth, but lost out in the bottom half of the frame. Wilkes had seven safeties with Klick getting a pair. Bauer suffered the setbacks in the team's opener. The Colonels evened their record at 1-1 on the five-hit pitching by Rich Klick who posted a 6-1 win over the University of Scranton last Thursday. The Colonels hitting attack was especially potent with the Wilkesmen coming up with 12 safeties. Seven out of nine Colonels came up with hits. In addition fine defensive play backed up Klick's mound efforts. Wilkes and Lycoming College split a doubleheader last Saturday at the Wilkes Athletic Field. The Colonels won the opener, 2-0. on a one-hitter by Fred Bauer and the Warriors took the nightcap, 4- 1, on a five-hitter by Bud Frauly. Bauer picked up his initial victory against one loss with a flawless performance in the opening contest allowing a single hit to Tom Koval. He starved out eight Warriors. John Ladomirak and Joe Wiendl both hit triples to drive in the Colonel runs. Lycoming's Barry Boatman and George Haas led an eight-hit on Pat Sweeney in the nightcap. Boatman went three-for-four while Haas doubled and tripled. Wilkes' only counter came in the third when Stultz doubled and came around on Barry Tiros' single. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 BOOK &CARD MART 10 S.

It was reported that the Black Hawk Intellectuals, commonly referred to as Evening School students, have begun their own newspaper. Its title, The Night Light, we must admit is appropriate. although it hints of plagiarism. The topics covered in this paper include such social events as pregnancies arid marriages and also reviews of Polly's Pointers and Tailor-Trix. The paper also offers useful excerpts from Handi-Man and Mechanix Illustrated. Unlike our beloved Shrike, The Night Light is supported solely by advertisements. Its contributors include such places as John 's Bargain Store, Acme Markets, Food Fair, and the White Cross, not to mention Bushell's. After receiving the above information, the SHRIKE felt it wise to inquire further into the activities of the devious night school. Wiretapping, stealing from the Bookstore, and other unmentionable means disclosed that an uprising was in the offing. Names of the leaders of this movement were also obtained. Rev . Obadiah Schmidlap is president, Mrs. Irving Doolittle, vicepresident, Mrs. Ulah Dormee, secretary , and Mr. Alvin Goldstein, treasurer. Through arduous work on the part of Shrike undercover agent SH-000, the extent of plans of the evening school were discovered. They have already initiated a rotating babysitters' service and a sorority, WSO (We Shall Overcome) . The BHI (Black Hawk Intellectuals) calendar includes plans for a summer weekend, beginning with a cooking contest in the gym. The second event will be the Sleeping Beauty Hoedown, to be held in the Kwik-Kook luncheonette, admission $1.25 per couple. The last event will be a concert in Conyngham 204 , featuring Lawrence Welk and his champagne orchestra. What other diabolical plans the night school has are yet to be seen. Daytime students, unite. Suppress the infidels. Status-seekers, be scorned. �Page 6 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 1, 1966 Annual MAC Competition Conducted Near Campus SOKASH, NARCUM SHARE ATHLETE OF WEEK TITLE Local sports fans were treated to a superabundance of athletic activity last weekend when the M.A.C. conducted its annual endurance and abiliti es competition in Wilkes-Barre's Elysian Fields (better known as Kirby Park) .

The meets will be held a t th e tim es originally schedul ed and the "Y" has generously offered to open the door to the spectator area. This new policy should enable the swi mmers to break the spectator record of six ( I 94 7). In order to successfully compete with the football and wrestling teams for athletic honors at the College , the swimmers have announced the following changes in next year's practice schedule. Freshmen will no longer be able to compete without first passing the Y.M.C.A. boys' swimming program . This progressive program consists of the minnow , fish, flying fish, and shark clubs. The minnow club begins with an orderly program of " holding breath," " jell y float ," and "look at bottom," until they are able to float . At this point form er lettermen of th e team will join th e new members until the completion of "shark." A new arrangement next year will be the addition of more than two tim ers at the meets. This will eliminate th e past practice of having the Wilkes team manager !Jetting the Wilkes swimmers' times , .w hile the judges get first and second places from the oppone nts. Th e Wilkes managers will now be fr ee to life- guard for the Wilkes mermen during the meet. The pre-season practice meet with coach has promised to show up at most of the meets, the "Y" will fill and clean the pool for some of the practices, and the swimmers will not be allowed to bring their own beach balls into the pool area ( the athl etic department will provide them). 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 ACE HOFFMAN Studios and Camera Shop PORTRAIT, COMMERCIAL AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS CAMERAS AND PHOTO SUPPLIES 36 W.

The Junius Society has been granted $125 on the premise that it would be used for an intercollegiate conference. Subsequently, the Biology Club and the Accounting Club have each requested the same sum for educational trips to New York City. However, it is a firm administration policy that Student Government not give money to clubs except for intercollegiate ' conferences. The issue is tabled for further consideration. In another financial matter, Student Government decided to grant the Accounting Club and Circle K a total of $65, to be divided equally. This is because JDC intends to distribute 400 passes to the dance on Freshman Weekend to those incoming freshmen participating. Last year, JDC, the administration, and Student Government contributed to the clubs sponsoring the dance a total of $125. This year the administration has agreed to give $60 to cover the cost of the band. The extra $65 was granted by Student Government to make up the difference.

Lover Come Back to reason, good taste, and integrity. Fie, fi, fo, fum, Student Government and all others responsible for this philistine travesty! Is it necessary to remind SG that a college functions in the rarified atmosphere of academic achievement and that this personification of the miasmic outer world, this insipid, vapid, inane movie, "Lover, Come Back," should never have been allowed to sacrilege this pure air of the true, of the good, and of the beautiful. Such a film is insulting not only to the College's student body but also to these incoming freshmen. What image this? Perhaps the next project undertaken by these proponents of mediocrity will be to give each graduating senior a five year subscription to the READER'S DIGEST. Oh what a sad world we can create. Wherefore Art Thou? The Red Cross is Qnce again making its semi-annual appeal to the College community to donate blood. And in return for its effort, time, and money, it will once again, probably, receive 150-200 pints of blood. This from a population of close to 2000. Where, you may ask, are the other 1800 and why don't they give blood? Well, they can't be bothered, the gym is too far to walk; there is no time that day; besides, they need all the blood they have; or they're afraid of the sight of blood; it makes them faint; it'll hurt. The 150-200 people who will give blood are, in the main, people who have donated before and are back for their second, third, even ninth or tenth time. If it's such a horrible experience, why go back for more? Masochism, maybe? Hardly. Maybe the free lunch. Maybe just the good feeling you get, knowing you may help save someone's life. It's too bad more people don't understand it. The Leeches Candidates for class officers and Student Government members for the fall semester in the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes are presently campaigning for Monday's elections. To many students, this selection requires little thought - they casually choose the most familiar names on the ballot. Or they vote for the choices of their friends. Or they place the fate of their class in the hands of Harry Handshaker or Sally Smilesonice. But, the most dangerous (and the most frequently used, on this campus) method of selection is to automatically re-vote for the incumbent class officers.

The rise of the U.S. and the USSR began only in 1900. The hegonomy which each of these nations has established over their own particular spheres of i n f I u e n c e , is a result of the two Great Wars. These two catastrophic events beggared Europe, and made it dependent upon these two leviathans for their national survival. The Marshall Plan of the West and the Five Year Plans of the East have borne ripe fruit , and the economies of Europe are today healthier than they have ever been. It is sad that, after the generous open hand of this nation had been picked clean, the nations of Europe should prove unwilling to recognize their indebtedne~s to the U .S. On the other hand, it must be remembered that the U .S. gave away money and aid without so much as a backward glance. The anger, frustration, and resentment which is directed against Europe today can be traced back to the open-handedness of this nation and her wonderful people. They are unable to understand how the nations of Europe could turn their backs so shamelessly upon their obvious debts. They say to themselves , "How could those crazy foreigners resent Americans and their attempts to make Europe a better place for Europeans to live?" The answers are not easy, and I am not sure that I have them, but that is the best part of a discussion. (Continued on page 3) Ask For Support Dear Editor: To those sophomores who will vote and to those who probably will not vote in this week's election, I would like to remind both groups of the importance of this election namely to provide leadership in both academic and social areas throughout the junior year. I believe the major problem facing our class is a lack of unity. Through the segregation of the commuter student from the resident student, and through the lack of an adequate place for students to meet the class has formed no common bond to unite. It has been proposed that a student union be made from the Commons when the new cafeteria is opened in the fall. This suggestion is fine, but we cannot allow this project to be carried out haphazardly. A student union is vital to communication within the class and the student body. But it must be a functional useful union and a "temporary" one which will be inadequate in the future as well as the present. In addition to a student union. I believe the class needs new social activities which will unite it. Informal class outings and parties organized to provide an opportunity for students to get toaether at a minimum expense will add to the formal and somewhat expensive dinner dance. Another problem facing the class is its relationship with the faculty. A bond should be made which will make possible more confrontation than that which is presented in the classroom. One possible way of accomplishing this would be by including the students in the faculty seminars. Also, the tables reserved in the cafeteria for the faculty could instead be reserved as a place where faculty and student could unite. In addition, the classrooms and laboratories should be open evenings. especially prior to examinations, and with adequate faculty supervision, in order that the student may take advantage of every opportunity for scholastic achievement. The class government through the clubs can supplement the student's academic work. Films could be shown in conjunction with the plays read in the English classes. Lecturers from the community and outside could be brought in to add to the instruction given in the sciences and liberal arts. As a class function these could deal with those courses specified for juniors. There are many service projects which the class can undertake, but these do take the organization needed to put them in action. The class could sponsor popular entertainers, no matter what cost, if proper organization is used. As far as the structure of the class government is concerned, there is only one part of it I would like to mention. I believe that through the exec u ti v e council of the class as well as its officers, the president is best able to obtain the consensus o the class.

(Continued from page 2) DEVLIN URGES CHANGE One must understand the psychological impact that the two wars and the subsequent events have had on Europe. Being relegated to the status of second and third-rate debtor nations is not a pleasant prospect. The Europeans are resentful and jealous of the U.S. They are self-conscious about the senseless wars that have plunged their nations into monetary servitude to the affluent U .S . I think that were the tables reversed we would feel the same way. The rebellion in Europe today, mainly advanced by France, is a result of revitalization represented by the various organizations such as the Common Market, or the European Free Trade Association. This movement is just an expression of new pride and strength being felt by the Europeans. They do not take such actions as deliberate attempts to antagonize the U.S. ( though I wonder about France). These events do not mean that the Atlantic Alliance is breaking up . This could never happen for the ties are too strong, but they can be strained. This nation must accept the fact that the European nations have regained their feet and must make their own way once again. We must allow these nations to run their own separate courses; they will never go very far, but to try to stand in their way may have the opposite effect. The prospect of a third world force has been supported by many experts; such an assumption is not valid and has even less merit. What possible qood could such a move have? Who would it benefit, Europe or the U.S.? Certainly neither side would profit; the idea is foolish. But let not anyone misunderstand me; I firmly support some results of this neo-nationalism in Europe. I advocate the recognition of Red China and the establishment of trade relations. Such moves are both practical and profitable. Measures such as these are just a few examples of the new Europe. We must be practical and realistic, and recognizing and respecting the path which these nations are following . This path is rock strewn as it is, and is not im- Computers have been used for every conceivable thing from grade tabulations to proper proportions for manure mixtures, but recently have been put to their most novel use. MATCH, the new dating craze sweeping the nation, has made its presence felt on our campus. Would you believe it has successfully (?) matched up every "Lonely Heart" and "Frigid Freddie" on campus? No? Would you believe ten? Well, actually it was more like two. Mary McMallihan, a sweet little freshman , sent in her card in hopes of meeting new and exciting men from the surrounding area. All her dating life she has been going out with the guy next door, never any change. Every Wednesday at 7 p.m . Herbert would call Mary and ask her to go out on Saturday. Every Wednesday at 7:01 p.m. Mary would say "O.K. Herbert, " and every Saturday night they would go out. Now, Herbert's not really so bad - if only he wouldn 't get his head shaved so close to the braid hanging down his back. But now Mary has the chance to meet someone, out of the thousands of guys who have sent in to MATCH, someone who is perfectly suited to her, someone she would gladly share her life with. So Mary sent in her card, along with her $3, ( no stamps, please) , and waited . . . and waited. Finally the answer to her dreams arrived. She frantically tore open the envelope and read: Blue eyes, yes - 5'1 I", yes . .. oh , ecstasy . .. and he lives close by. And his name is . . . Herbert. proved by this nation lobbing boulders from across the Atlantic. The U.S. must, for her own survival , depend upon it, do all she can to ease the growing pains of these new " emerging nations." To make waves that batter the shores of Brittany will only create greater problems and resentment than already exist. With the proper care Europe can become a firm ally once again, but I must caution the utmost care by the United States. Then there was Tom Sternelberger. Poor Tom hadn't had a date in his entire two years at Wilkes. With his decrepit 5'3" frame, he hid in corners constantly, just he and his dandruff and his twitch. That is, until he discovered MATCH. This could mean the chance of his life. He carefully filled out his card: height-6'4", year in school-senior; likes-pole-v a u I t i n g , horsebackriding, mountain climbing, Marlboros and sex. After a seemingly endless duration "her" name came back. Because he was such an extrovert, it was hard to find a suitable mate for him, they said, but they finally found someone equal to himself-Sally Smedlop. He called Sally and a date was arranged for Friday night. He could hardly wait. Her description said she was 5'4" with long blond hair, blue eyes, and the most dated girl at Misericordia.

In this way the class can easily decide on what steps it plans to take by having the class council present their proposals in a thoroughly studied, well planned manner.

Respectfully submitted , David Frey Nominee for president ing not to let the last point bother him, he painfully dressed his magnificent figure and the result was mildly awful. (Which w as fairly good, considering what he had begun with) . As he pulled up to the dorm , he broke into an eager sweat. He rang the bell and a 6'7' ' motly broad w ith dippy brown hair and one tooth (in the middl e of her chin) answered the door. After he got over his initial shock he asked if she would tell Sally her date had arrived. The girl looked at him and sneered , started chuckling, then laughing uncontrollably, held her stomach with one hand and slapped the door with the other. When she could finally control herself she answered Tom 's inquiring looks by grabbing her hat and Tom with th e same hand and saying " Well handsom e, let's go." Encouraging, isn 't it.?

Moravian was held to three hits by Rich Klick and Fred Bauer, but they cashed in on walks to post a 4-3 win over the Colonels at Bethlehem. Wilkes tied the score at three all in the ninth, but lost out in the bottom half of the frame. Wilkes had seven safeties with Klick getting a pair. Bauer suffered the setbacks in the team's opener. The Colonels evened their record at 1-1 on the five-hit pitching by Rich Klick who posted a 6-1 win over the University of Scranton last Thursday. The Colonels hitting attack was especially potent with the Wilkesmen coming up with 12 safeties. Seven out of nine Colonels came up with hits. In addition fine defensive play backed up Klick's mound efforts. Wilkes and Lycoming College split a doubleheader last Saturday at the Wilkes Athletic Field. The Colonels won the opener, 2-0. on a one-hitter by Fred Bauer and the Warriors took the nightcap, 4- 1, on a five-hitter by Bud Frauly. Bauer picked up his initial victory against one loss with a flawless performance in the opening contest allowing a single hit to Tom Koval. He starved out eight Warriors. John Ladomirak and Joe Wiendl both hit triples to drive in the Colonel runs. Lycoming's Barry Boatman and George Haas led an eight-hit on Pat Sweeney in the nightcap. Boatman went three-for-four while Haas doubled and tripled. Wilkes' only counter came in the third when Stultz doubled and came around on Barry Tiros' single. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 BOOK &CARD MART 10 S.

The two candidates for Student Government president are Matt Fliss and Al Saidman. Forms for the Big Brother /Big Sister program will be available at the polls. Elections of other officers will be May 2 at the Student Government meeting. Two constitutional amendments had their first reading at this week's Student Government meeting. One would change Article IX, Section 2, paragraph 2, regarding the election of freshman class officers, to read, "Nominations for freshman officers shall be held no earlier than the first week nor no later than the third week of the spring semester." This would enable prospective officers to know if they could obtain a 2.0 average and would enable the class to get to know its members better before elections are held. A constitution could be worked on before the election of officers by a constitutional committee. The second proposed amendment is to Article VI, Section 5. This would change the quorum for Student Government meetings from "nine or more" to "eleven or more" members, in keeping with this year's increase in the total membership. Student Government has decided that a harmful precedent would be set if funds were granted to clubs for trips instead of for, or in addition to, funds for conferences. Student Government recognizes the problems of clubs trying to finance such events, but administration policy prevents it from assistance in this matter. The Collegians have complained about not being granted a calendar date for this year. This is probably due to their failure to hand in a request for a calendar date last spring, when the calendar for this year was composed. There seem to be no more dates available this year. The constitution of the freshman class was passed by Student Government.

Miss Myfvanwy Williams is acting in the capacity of drama coach for the play. Stage design is under the supervision of Mr. Andrew Palencar, art instructor at Coughlin High School. Taking place in the spring of next year, the play centers about a group of Parisienne vagabonds who congregate at the Chez Francis in Chaillot, a district of Paris.

They are always so reasonable, so sound in judgment. Is it not wonderful that so many are so confident of an~ other's abilities that no one else thinks to challenge him? Just think: some of us have only met a mere seven months ago; and to have seen into the deep, deep depths of a fellow classman's soul is indeed an example of instant intimacy. What joy to be so confident that one has found his heroes! What a time for racing through the streets, for dancing until the joy of the morn~ ing! Let us not cast our responsibilities to the winds ("That uame sounds good,") for "the slaves run gladly to their chains." Think; do not move with the numbers; cherish the individual responsibility to vote meaningfully. Oh freshmen, whither are you going? Welcome, Hamptonites! This is the tenth year of the Wilkes~Hampton Exchange Program. This is the tenth year of a program in understanding. Though the exchange generally operates in a rarified at~ mosphere, its meaning and value cannot help be carried over into daily life. To those Hampton students visiting our campus, the BEA~ CON wishes to extend a warm, sincere welcome.

To those who were not informed as to the objectives I support , I would like to say in this brief note that I will, to the best of my ability, encourage those views of the student body that are both sound and beneficial to the class.

I hope to guide the Class of '68, follow through with their judgments, and at the same time, reach for a goal of greater class participation and a stronger and more significant Student Government. Hopefully. this will ultimately result in a more effective student body. I would also like to see clubs allotted money to spend on speakers and for other individual club activities, thus permitting each student to choose that activity which is appealing to him. More than one event must be scheduled at the same Is DeGoulle A Political Fossil? by Mary Kalafut Why is everyone so annoyed by DeGaulle' s attitude toward NATO? The handwriting has been on the wall since 1962 when he began to publicly doubt its effectiveness. The development of the bomb was all DeGaulle needed. As to Mr. Devlin's allusion to solidarity, my only question is, what solidarity? Roosevelt and Churchill reached a rapprochement only because Roosevelt w a s in Churchill's back pocket Churchill found it expedient to put up with Roosevelt's eccentricities because he had little choice in the matter twenty-five years ago with Hitler breathing down his nec:k. Times have changed. The Communist scare is over, as is the Nazi scare. It must be very difficult for an egotist like DeGaulle to remember that France owes its prosperity to America's Marshall Plan and not to any of DeGaulle's efforts. His only claim to fame is a dictatorial form of government and an atomic bomb which is useless from the point of delivery and obsolete by United States, U.S.S.R., and Great Britain standards. The government might be excused as expedient, but to spend mil~ lions on a bomb for which one has neither the delivery ability nor the technical know-how to up-date is the result of extreme egotism. France has an acute housing problem accentuated by a growing population and a refugee problem . What does DeGaulle plan to do, house his excess population in bomb craters? The average Frenchman has little to say about this turn of events. The older generation is overjoyed at seeing France be~ come a world power especially after the defeats suffered at the hands of Hitler, the Communists in lndo-China, and the Algerian rebels. Intellectual discontent is censored in French newspapers. The last national election, how- ever, gave some indication that DeGaulle is no longer considered omnipotent. He had to force a run-off campaign. As for the bomb, it is D ~Gaulle' s key to a very exclusive club, the Nuclear Club. The membership dues are high, but the fringe benefits are encouraging. DeGaulle's flaunting of his bomb reminds one of the wife of a nouveau riche hillbilly who has just spent an enormous sum on glittery dress only to find out it went out of style years ago. She still wears it to impress the home town folks who are easily impressed by the appearance cif wealth. DeGaulle's glitter is his bomb. He combines its possession w i t h ultra-nationalistic speeches colored with past history and so far has managed to convince the French people that they have something. Top it off with two verses of the Marseille and the French will buy it - whether or not it is useful. (Continued on page 4) /.ette,-J t, tAe Ce/it,,.

The formation of a Student Union is a necessary step in the creation of a close relationship between the commuter and dormitory students. Through combined socializing , an interest in school affairs should develop. This, too, will help cultivate more active participation of individuals in school affairs. With the support of Wilkes College students and continued participation of the individual class members, I hope these and other ideas will be employed for the betterment of Wilkes College. Thak you for advocating my re-election . Sincerely, Judy Simonson poor hospitality given to a certain individual. I am in complete disagreement with these letters, because on various occasions I have spent weekends at Wilkes, and on the five or six weekends I visited your school, I've stayed at Miner Hall. At this dorm I've received nothing but hospitality and friendship. The students in this dorm treated me with more respect and common courtesy than any person is due . I don't want to confine all hospitality to one dorm; every one of the students at Wilkes that I had the pleasure of meeting treated me nicely, and it seems to be the general attitude of the whole student body. I'm sure that I'm not the only guest who has enjoyed staying at Wilkes. I know of five or six others who have spent weekends at Wilkes and share the same opinion. Emily Post Neglected I personally think this pacifist was in the wronb by bringing his pamphlets, pins, and preachings to Wilkes College. He was a guest, and I don't think he acted as a guest should. I cannot go into my personal feelings towards pacifism, because I'm now on active duty in the United States Marine Corps, and my feelings towards these people would definitelv be prejudiced. But, however, I would like to say that I back the students of Wilkes College one hundred per cent. I also appreciate being able to visit your campus and accepting the friendship of all the students of Wilkes College, and I am looking forward to my future visits to your school. Yours truly, L/ Cpl.

If the Student Government wished just to entertain them with light comedy, then they fulfilled their objective. But if Student Government wished to give them an insight into college life and what to expect while a student at Wilkes, then they failed miserably.

The play culminates in the second act with a trial scene, in which the accused evil ones are represented " in absentia" by the ragpicker as an impartial defendant. The verdict handed down by the jury of vagabonds is GUILTY and the punishment is extermination for all the evil forces in the world. This is accomplished through the assistance of the king of the sewermen ( David Frey), who shows the countess a unique way of ridding the world of that which it does not want. As this is accomplished the world once again becomes a free and cheerful place in which to live, and the countess continues about her busy daily routine of feeding the stray cats in the neiqhborhood , satisfied that she has done her part in saving humanity that afternoon. Some of the forces of evil personages that are exterminated are the presidents (Stephen J. Gavala, Basil Russin, Tom Giannini) , the prospectors (Jan Kubicki, Gene Suszko, Jack Brooks), the public relations staff (Charles Petrillo, R i c h a rd Roshong, Don Conway) , and the ladies' pressure group (Sheryl Napolean, Nancy Leland, Georgia Grohol) . These characters are all symbolic representations of all evil persons of their caliber. Others aiding the action of the play are Al Eddy as the juggler, Earl Orcutt as Dr. Jadin, Bill Toole as the little man, and Sheryl Napoleon as Theresa. James Gallagher and Bob Smith portray two guardians of the law who contribute to the confusion of the play. Elizabeth Brennan portrays Therese, the prostitute of that district. Lynn Mallory (Irma) and Richard Kramer (Pierre) supply the romantic element in the play.

Unemployment is on the increase. The bomb is one way to take the average Frenchman's mind off the domestic situation. In the eightteenth century when France was starving her queen said: "Let them eat cake." A twentieth century version of this may be DeGaulle telling the French "Let them eat the bomb. " The French would probably serve it to an unsuspecting American tourist as an aged truffle in wine sauce and collect a 20 per cent tip! What is the prospect for France? Well, DeGaulle cannot go on forever. For the present, his disregard for his security - the removal of NATO troops - will have no immediate effect. He may not appreciate this, but he is foiling his own campaign to use the gold question as a weapon against his erstwhile allies by removing the basis which provided so June 8-12: Camp Gardner Lake, Colchester, Conn.; Camp Hanover, Richmond , Va .

Barry, a commerce and finance major from WilkesBarre, formerly held the offices of lieutenant governor and state treasurer. Barry's opponent in the campaign for state governor hails from Penn State University and previously held the office of state secretary. The campaign consisted of sending letters to all Pennsylvania Circle K Club members, and of attending several caucases and question-answer panels at the convention. The final decision was made by the House of Delegates assembly, in which each Circle K Club was represented by two voting delegates. Barry Miller Heads 30 Clubs As Circle K's state governor, Barry assumes the duties of the active administrative leader of all thirty Pennsylvania Circle K Clubs. Barry's chief activities will consist of visiting as many state Circle K Clubs as possible during the 1966-67 school terms, and of working with the various state school officials and Kiwanis Club officers towards initiating Circle K Clubs at those colleges and universities. Barry's immediate engagements will include his attendance at the International Circle K Convention being held in Dallas, Texas in August. Barry will also attend the Michigan State Circle K Convention, which will be held this coming weekend in Detroit, Michigan. In addition to these obligations, Barry is also planning to prepare his program as presiding official of the three state Circle K Board Meetings and Conventions scheduled for the 1966-67 school terms. WILKES COLLEGE BEACON niss, Said1aan Chosen by Cecile Rosen Matt Fliss is a s o p h o m o r e English major who is seeking the presidency of Student Government. Interviewer: What are your past and present activities at the College? Fliss: I was a Student Government representative in 1964-1965, co-chairman of the spring hootenanny in 1965, and co-chairman of 1965-66 Homecoming. Presently, I am vice-president of Student Government and co-chairman of the freshman reading program. These offices alone are no indication of ability - only of achievement. Rather, what is done in office is important. This can only be measured subjectively, that is by you. Qualifications ln•erviewer: What makes you qualified for the position of Student Government president? Fliss: The fact is that I am not qualified and shall only be qualified if I assume the duties of president. Your judgment of my value is all important. But I have been splitting rails in my backyard lately . lnterviwer: How do you feel about Student Government? Fliss: I very rarely feel about Student Government, rather, I think. Interviewer: What is its purpose? Fliss: The purpose of Student Government is twofold. It is primarily to coordinate student activities, but what activities? Is it fundamentally those social functions such as dances, movies, and activities prescribed by the calendar? Or is it those of a more significant nature, the students' role in the community, the students' potential to change and better the society he lives in, not only through thought , but by action. Program Interviewer: If you are elected have you thought of any type of program to follow? Fliss: My program has six steps: ( 1.) The establishment of a possible lecture program above and beyond assembly . . . Interviewer: The majority of the students do not attend assemblies which are required. How do you expect students to come to these lectures? What will attract the student body? Fliss: The lectures will be held in the evening and will be in specific fields. The only way to find out how effective the program will be is to set it up. This program would be an intellectual outlet. This is part of helping the individual to realize his goals and in doing so realize himself. To continue I propose: (2.)

The student will be gaining experience in his fi eld w hil e helping others. (These programs can often be financed by Ford, Rockefeller or other foundations.) Apathy Interviewer: The attitude shown by the student body in community college activities is that of apathy. These events are not total failures but are certainly deteriorating. How do you propose to combat apathy? Fliss: I am going to offer the old self-profit motive, that is by doing something for others they will be helping themselves. To a certain extent I believe there will always be those who are bored with the calamities and awe-inspiring experiences of life and who lack the fiber to muster up enough courage to live life. I would rather enhance interes t in a few than propagate interest in many. Art Students Plan Fair Pictured above are Mike Clark, Harry Russin , and Jay Ruckel who were elected presidents of the sophomore, senior, and junior classes respectively. president; Cheryl Tarity, secretary; and Harry Heesch, treasurer.

Fran Olexy and Basil Russin were elected by acclamation to the offices of vice-president and treasurer respectively. The office of secretary will be filled by Nancy Leland. For next year's officers, the freshmen chose Michael Clark, president; Tom Koblish, vice-president; and Linda Piccotti treasurer, all by acclamation. Florence Napoli was elected secretary.

By this I mean all the activities now mentioned on the calendar. Interviewer: If you are elected president, what will be your greatest responsibility? Fliss: My greatest responsibility is to myself. "This above all to thine own self be true. If thou be true to thy own self thou canst be false to no man." Allan Saidman Single Service Project Award At the recent convention at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, the College Circle K Club achieved the state Single Service Project Award for having the project which best served the campus or community and enabled the club members to actively serve the community. The project concerned was the "Buck-a-Cup" project which involved several Wyoming Valley restaurants and solicitations by a number of Circle K members. All receipts were given directly to the Wyoming Valley Crippled Children's Association.

Allan Saidman is a junior who is seeking the presidency of Student Government. Interviewer: What are your past and present activities at the College? Saidman: I've been on Student Government since the end of my freshman year. In my sophomore year I was a liaison between the public relations office and Student Governm ent and a " teacher" in last year's Freshman Reading Program . Presently, I am co-chairman of the Freshman Reading Program for 1966, and I am head of policies for Student Government. I have worked on various committees for junior class social events. Interviewer: What makes you qualified to hold the position of Student Governm ent president? Saidman: I have served on Student Government freshman year and have served on various committees. I have had the experience of living in the environments of dorm and day life and feel I know both sides of the coin. SG Purposes Interviewer: How do you fe el about Student Government? What is its purpose? Saidman: Student Government acts as a link between the student body and the administration . Its purpose is to organize activities for the students, to the best of its ability. Its members are elected as representatives of each class with th e purpose of bringing forth ideas from the people who elected them . In a broader sense, its purpose is to present the proper image of the College to the community. Proper Image Interviewer: What is the proper image? Saidman: The proper image would be someone who would facilitate respect for the College and students, enabling a closer interaction between th e community and the College. Interviewer: If you are elected, have you thought of any type of program to follow, or to use as your guide? Saidman: I can't really formulate a program until next year because there is going to be a great change on the campus with th e dormitory turning the present cafeteria into a student union. The main problem will be lack of interaction between day and dormitory students. The main project of Student Government will be to minimize the gulf. Perhaps there will be a part of the program which will involve greater interaction between the students and the community. Interviewer: The community and college projects such as Blood Donor Day and the United Fund Drive have proved very unsuccessful du e to th e lack of participation on the students' and community's part. How do you expect to combat student apathy? Saidman: Apathetic people are going to be apathetic and you can try to appeal to their sense of values, but if they have a different standard of values or different interests, you are going to run into a brick wall. Interviewer: What about the people who are not apathetic but need a push? Saidman: I'm going to give the students a broader variety of things to do and I will ask for suggestions from Student Government. I will be open to suggestions from the student body.

"Dear Sir," he writes. "In a recent column you said it was p6ssible to get along with your roommate if you try hard enough. Well, I'd like to see anyone get along with my roommate! Mervis Trunz (for that is his name) practices the ocarina all night long, keeps an alligator, wears knee-cymbals, and collects airplane tires. I have tried everything I can with Mervis Trunz, but nothing works. I am desperate. (signed) Desperate." Have you, dear Desperate, really tried everything? Have you, for example, tried a measure so simple, so obvious, that it is easy to overlook? I mean, of course, have you offered to share your Personna® Super Stainless Steel Blades with Mervis Trunz? To have a friend, dear Desperate, you must be a friend. And what could be more friendly than sharing the bounty of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades? Who, upon enjoying the luxury of Personna, the nickless, scrapeless, tugless, hackless, scratchless, matchless comfort of Personna, the ease and breeze, the power and glory, the truth and beauty of Personna-who, I say, after such jollies could harden his heart against his neighbor? Nobody, that's who -not even Mervis Trunz-especially not today with the new Personna Super Blade bringing us new highs in speed, comfort, and durability. And here is still a further bonus: Personna is available both in Double Edge style and Injector style. SCORING TENNIS Although the tennis team has thus far this season logged a disheartening 1-4 record, there are still six remaining contests, and the men have displayed an outstanding effort to win. We feel that the student body has failed to contribute to the team's efforts by a lack of attendance at the matches. The team's home meets are held at the Wilkes courts in Kirby Park, easily within walking and riding distance. One reason for the students· lack of attendance may be an inadequate knowledge of the rules of the game.

" In college play, there are six single matches and three doubles matches. Scoring - Each ball not returned gives the opponent a point. The points are designated as follows : 1st point - 15 2nd point - 30 3rd point - 40 4th point - 60 - one game In order to win a game, the margin of victory must be at least two points. If both sides reach 40, the situation is called a deuce , and one side or the other must gain a two point margin to win. A score of O is called love.

Kwai, The Cardinal, Barabbas, No, dear Desperate, your problem with Mervis Trunz is far from insoluble. In fact, as roommate problems go, it is pretty small potatoes. Compare it, for example, to the classic case of Basil Metabolism and E. Pluribus Ewbank. Basil and E. Pluribus, roommates at a prominent Eastern university (Oregon) were at an impassable impasse. Basil could study only late at night, and E. Pluribus could not stay awake past nine p.m. If Basil kept the lights on, the room was too bright for E. Pluribus to sleep. If E. Pluribus turned the lights off, the room was too dark for Basil to study. What to do? Well sir, these two intelligent American kids found an answer. They got a miner's cap for Basil! Thus, he had enough light to study by, and still the room was dark enough for E. Pluribus to sleep. It must be admitted, however, that this ingenious solution had some unexpected sequelae. Basil got so enchanted with his miner's cap that he switched his major from 18th Century poetry to mining and metallurgy. Shortly after graduation he had what appeared to be a great strokeof luck: while out prospecting, he discovered what is without question the world's largest feldspar mine. This might have made Basil very rich except that nobody, alas, has yet discovered a use for feldspar. Today Basil, a broken man, squeezes out a meagre living as a stalagmite in Ausable Chasm. Nor has E. Pluribus fared conspicuously better. Once Basil got the miner's cap, E. Pluribus was able to catch up on his long-lost sleep. He woke after nine days, refreshed and vigorous-more vigorous, alas, than he realized. It was the afternoon of the Dean's tea. E. Pluribus stood in line with his classmates, waiting to shake the Dean's hand. At last his turn came, and E. Pluribus, full of strength and health, gave the Dean a firm handshake-so firm, indeed, that all five of the Dean's knuckles were permanently fused. The Dean sued for a million dollars and, of course, won. Today E. Pluribus, a broken man, is paying off his debt by walking the Dean's cat every afternoon for ten cents an hour. © I 066.

The fact of mass attendance is not an indication of the enjoyment since much of the audience was captive.

Carl Siracuse and Dave Thomas gave a report to Student Government this week on the replies received from three colleges concerning student unions. Both of them , with the addition of Sharon Daney, will form a committee to work on plans for next year's student union. Student management of the union is recommended, as well as a constitution. They would like to see a lounge, television room, music room, and game room included. It is not certain yet whether the student union will be financed by Student Government or by the administration. The Young Republicans were granted $125 for a conference May 6 and 7, which 13 members will attend. This money will be granted only if sufficient funds are available in the Intercollegiate Conference Fund.

IDC ELECTS YETTER TO TOP POST Ele.ctions for Inter-Dormitory Council officers for the year, I 966-67, were held on Tuesday, May 3, in Stark 109. Elected to office were: Wayne Yetter, president; William Bush, vicepresident; and Pam Eustis , secretary. Jim Mason was re-elected treasurer by acclamation. Both old and new I.D.C. members were eligible to vote, old members receiving two votes each if they had been re-elected to next year's council. All other members received one vote. At this final meeting this year's president, Steve Van Dyck, read a presidential address which explained past projects of this year's I.D.C., which included: the support of the Greek orphan Zoes, the organization of skit night, the operation of refreshment stands in the gymnasium during athletic events, acting as waiters and chaperones at the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, giving a Christmas party for day and dorm students, creating and sponsoring little-brother, little-sister weekend, and organizing and taking part in Hampton weekend. The award for the outstanding dormitory student will be presented in the near future. student a chance to put ideas ans! thoughts into effect.

The next I.D.C. meeting and the last meeting for this year will be conducted by newly elected president Wayne Yetter. Yetter, a senior biology major and a member of Hainna Hall, feels, "The year 1966-67 will mark the beginning of a great transitional period in the dormitory life of the College. The effects of the new dormitory are already being felt by almost every male dormitory student. The further separation of dorm and day students will have to be countered by combined efforts of I.D.C. and Student Government by conducting activities attractive to both groups. The Inter-Dormitory Council will have to play an even more important role in student life. "Any transitional period is a period of problems. The problem of representation in the new dormitory is one such problem and has required an amendment to the I.D.C. constitution.

After outlining the importance of senior participation in the Library Fund-Raising Campaign, President Charles Petrillo closed the meeting with a motion and note concerning disposition of the class treasury. Debote News The final meeting of the Debate Society was held for the year. In accordance with the newly adopted constitution, the election of officers was held for the academic year 196667.

Requests for money from students usually elicit cries of disapproval from said students. "Don't they know that students are poor?" Why should I contribute if the library will not be completed until after I graduate?" Or the rebellious - "Why should I contribute? What has the College done for me?" When these questions are considered individually, none of them contains any sound argument. The letter of request states that the pledge may be remitted in two parts - one-half in the summer and one-half in the fall. With few exceptions, all students will have some form of summer employment. Surely it is not asking too much to set aside c:. small portion of these summer wages for the Library Fund. The graduating senior may feel that he need not contribute to the Fund since he will not have any use for the completed facility. Certainly future students of the College ought to have all the advantages of a pr~per education in his time that the senior has now. Surely it is not asking too much to contribute a nominal sum to guarantee all the features of a sound education for future generations. To ask what the College has done for you is to display one's ignorance. The College has given you the means to become a more responsible and a more knowledgeable adult. The College has introduced you to a wide variety of ideas in various fields which will give you a greater awareness of the world around you and which will also give you a sound basis for adjustment to this world. Materialistically speaking, the College has issued to you a passport to a superior financial future. In order to make these gifts available to many of us, the College has provided financial assistance. Surely it is not asking too much to show our appreciation for these favors by pledging to the Library Fund. Yet, despite these valid reasons for student contributions, we fear that the student drive for the Library Fund will go the way of the United Fund and the Blood Drive. Nowhere. It is probable that indifference, selfishness, and neglect will prevent the student from taking pen in hand and filling out his pledge card. In this case may we make a suggestion. The senior class has voted to donate a portion of its Memorial Fund to the Library Fund. Perhaps the presidents of the three underclasses can discuss a similar plan of action. We doubt that anyone will argue the fact that contributions to the Library Fund are a much needed and a much appreciated gift at this time. Of course, this suggestion does not preclude individual student donations. Individual and class contributions can only aid the campaign committee to realize its goal much sooner. W.M.K.

Student Attacks Outsiders; Upholds 'Lover Come Back' Dear Editor: I would like to ask 'Student from another College' who he was trying to impress by his letter appearing in last week's paper. In his comment about borrowing 'higher caliber pictures from one of the neighboring institutions', it seems quite obvious that he thinks Wilkes is not holding its own among area colleges and that the 'higher caliber picture' is not all that Wilkes should and could get from nearby instiutions. As far as his suggestion to replace the present change-ofpace type movie to an extension of classes, through lectures and purely educational films, he is thwarting the purpose of the movie. First, the purpose of the movie is to keep students on campus by offering them at no cost the same entertainment that they would go uptown to enjoy at a price. Not that his suggestion for obtaining prominent individuals for lecturers was of value, but "llie~p,i1tt '66 Chere Supports Policy Of Non-Admittance For the last 17 years the policy of the United States toward the Peoples Republic of China has been one of official nonrecognition of the government and continuing attempts to prevent its admission to the United Nations. The question for us today is whether this policy is valid. Before we can answer this auestion, it is necessary to understand the reasons for its inception. The reason for our non-recognition of the Communist government was the belief that the Qovernment of Chiang-Kai-Ch~k was the legitimate qovernment of China and the ·-hope for his eventual return. The expressed reason for our policy in regards to the United Nations was based on the continual aggression or threats of aggression which the Chinese aimed against her neighbors. But at no time has it been possible for any country to adopt a set policy toward another. The simple fact is that men and the situations in which they interact are in a state of flux. Nothing remains the same and this is especially .true in the· relations between the ·states in our world. With this thought constantly in our mind, we must examine the possibility of a change in our policy toward the Communist Chinese. It is true that recognition of the Red Chinese government would strain our relations with the qovernment of Chaing KaiChek. But that government now only governs the twelve million Chinese who inhabit the island of Taiwan. By no stretch of the imagination can this be called the true government of China, because it never had the support of a majority of the Chinese people. While we find it difficult to admit the Chinese Communists did represent, after a fashion, the majority of the Chinese people, this does not mean that the majority of the Chinese believe in Communism. It means that they believe the Communists to be the only group capable of restoring peace and order to a China that . had been burdened with civil arid international war for more than 20 years. The more recognition of the fact that the Chinese Communists are the legal govern- ment of China does not imply abandonment of Taiwan -he cause before World War II Taiwan belonged to Japan; while some preliminary agreements had been reached to restore it to China, no formal agreement was ever reached. Therefore, while the Red Chinese may continue to state that theirs is the government of China they cannot claim Taiwan in spite of what they would have us believe. Thus we can legally recognize Red China and continue to support the government of Taiwan. This is what many of the Taiwanese would prefer because they have realized the futility of their old dream of a return to the mainland. There are many reasons for the recognition of China. The two most important considerations would warrant a change in our Chinese policy are the ignorance of the Chinese leaders and the economic factor. The present leaders of China have shown and almost unbelievable ignorance of the outside w?rl~ . .They still talk,. as they did 1,935, of a futu~e day·when the Oppressed Amert~' can masses will rise up and throw ~ff the_ Y?k~ of th~ ~ all Sti:eet 1mper1ahsbc capitalists. T~e~e are two main ~easo1?-s for t~ts ~gnorance: O~e ts their be!ief 1n the doctrm_es of Marx mt~rpr~te~ by Lenm and Mao, wh1ch md1rectly relate . to the f h ti:a d 1·t·1onaI Ch"mese be11e t at th "ddl k" d Ch" d e_ mt e- mg om m~ an Chmese ways are superior to those of the rest of the world, and will therefore eventually dominate it. The second reason for this ignorance is the lack of contact. Most of China's present leaders beside Chou En-Lai, have not done any extensive traveling outside of China except for trips to Russia. Nor have they studied any other view of the outside world but that of Marx as expressed by Mao. What Mao has not realized is that the conditions extant in the time of Marx no longer exist, a fact ,vhicn the leaders of the Soviet Union have obviously found true. The . only way in which we can counteract this ignorance is by increased contact on all levels with the Chinese. But m (Continued on page 4) why take away an escape activity and replace it by something else to escape from. Perhaps this individual would just like to have Wilkes students roaming aimlessly around on Friday night in such depression that they have nothina else to turn to but a King's ·dance. Secondly, our anonymous reformer says the incoming freshmPT\ who attP.nded the movie "are now undP.r the impression that college life might he filled with "Lover, Come Back!" If this is the case then how ~ould he dare suggest showinq Barabbas'. According to his naive opinion of the minds of the incoming freshmen, he could obviously forsee their dissappointment when they find out that college life does not consist of sadistic violence carried out by a dirty mob following their twisted leader. Oh the sheltered view of life this person must be subjected to at his present institution! Is it possible that he has been taught to put on airs and deno•mce s11ch things whose only value is bringing a little happiness or relaxation into a hectic life? When a student denounces somethinQ like this, which was obviou;ly an exception to the rule of strict education, I ;im sure he has fallen drastically short of the expectations of his colleQe. So I therefore advise 'Student from anothPi: College' to step off his intellectual cloud and join the masses. As for his one-man reform show - well people in glass houses . . . and all that rot, you know.

Bio Students Discuss Evolution At Seminar by Carol Gass Since the beginning of the semester , Dr. Thomas Mizianty has been holding informal seminars in the Stark conference room. Every other Friday about twenty enthusiastic biology students have met to discuss the implications of evolution. Extra reading material pertaining to the topics being discussed was assigned. Dr. Mizianty began to teach biology 101-102 this year. He said, "I had organized discussion sections so that the students could relate biology to other fields, but I found that there were only a few students that actually participated week after week, and the discussions were not successful to the degree I expected. " He organized the seminars at the request of several interested students. the study of evolution made them think and broadened their perspective. Some students found it difficult to reconcile evolution and the concept of an anthropomorphic Supreme Being. Others felt that the Deistic concept of a detached Creator who merely set the universe in motion could better be reconciled with the theory of evolution. The question was posed as to whether there could be a moral system not based on the Judeo-Christian tradition. A system, based entirely on a reality principle, with the basic axiom being human survival, was postulated. The seminary itself gave the students many new ideas. The students were asked their opinions of the seminar: John Engle: "This is one of three groups that discuss various subjects. This is. the most important part of college and the only way to ask questions and get any form of answers." At the final seminar of the semester, Sheryl Napoleon: "Aside from being held last Friday, the topic discussed was "How Evolution Has Influenced stimulated, the seminar has made me Me." Many of the students felt that more confused, but it has given me the comfort of knowing that I'm not the only one confused." eNOTICEe All financial aid forms, scholarship forms and loan applications are due on or before May 23.

Jim Donna John Birkenhead: "This has been the most i n t e r e s t i n g, stimulating, thought-provoking course I have had and I hope I can attend more. I would like to see more participation by other faculty members." Christopher Shaw: "The seminars have taken facts from the biology course and worked them into concepts. This should be the goal of education." Carl Siracuse: "Not all students could participate in a seminar such as this, but for those of us who have volunteered, it has been invaluable and we wish there would be more in other courses." by Joel Thiele Cue and Curtain 's production of Giradoux's satirical and ironic play, the Mad Woman of Chaillot demonstrates the ability of the Cue and Curtain players to rise above the material they are intent on communicating to their audience. Not that Giradoux's play is unexcellent, for it is an extremely brilliant satire against those men solely interested in capital gain, who violate the rights of others; however, the intended victims of these evil men unite under the woman of of Chaillot in order to prevent the attainment of the capitalists' desired ends. In short, the play is concerned with the conflict between the evil greed of the corporate capitalists and the simple good of the people. When the Parisienne vagabonds reveal their plight to the Countess Aurelia, Chaillot's mad woman , now awakened from her world of the past and sensitive to the realities of the present world, she is able to use all her facilities in foiling the plot of the dastardly capitalists. Giraudoux is devastating in his satire of the present order, for he states that life is controlled by the pimps, ( "the pimps of the air" ), those capitalists who demand payment after payment from man. The playwright strongly implies that these pandering businessmen make prostitutes of the formerly good and healthy things of life. Liz S 1 a u g h t e r as the mad w om a n b r o u g ht off, for the most part, an e x t r e m e I y successful evening of theatre. Her acting was simply magnificent. perfect, since she neither over nor underplayed her role. Her actions were perfectly tied, especially in that memorable scene in which she first makes her appearance on stage and uses her silk scarf to knock over the glasses of oil water being drunk by the prospector, the broker, the baron and the president. Beverly Wislosky brilliantly conveyed to her audience her very own sense of the reality of her so-called imaqinary friends. During the entire mock trial scene, her alienated stare from the rest of the proceedings on stage, her gestures, and her eye movements greatly contributed to the making of a masterful performance. Hazel Hulsizer gave another very talented performance; we are not surprised for this is what we have come to expect from her. Both she and Margaret Klein as the other mad women were extremely effective in their handling of their characters' own special and particular types of insanity. Miss Klein was particularly good in the mock trial scene when the lady from La Concorde finally gets her chance to demonstrate her knowledge of legal proceedings, a knowledge she has gained by being the sister-in-law of a lawyer. Jan Kubicki as the calculating, unscrupulous prospector, that agent of the wicked capitalists, mined the audience's unfavorable reaction to the character he portrayed. Kubicki quite effectively used his nose, a really beautiful job of makeup, while demonstrating his ability to sniff out oil. Oh, what a wicked villain! David Frey in a cameo-role as the sewerman was quite picturesque in his sewerlike descriptions of Paris' underground pathways. He handled his humorous lines quite well. However, Daniel Wertz as the ragpicker was not at times quite up to the standards of the above-discussed players since at certain points in the play he did not seem to carry his lines well if one considers the important part he had., . Liz Brennan gave a very convincing performance of a prostitute, although she never said a word to announce what she was. Lynn Mallory's soliloquy of innocence was a charming contrast to the characters portrayed by Miss Brennan and Miss Napoleon. Bob Smith and Jim Gallagher as the policemen gave very good examples of extremely exaggerated and animated walking. Smith's remark that he had to give artificial respiration because of what the book said was very well delivered. Carroll Cobbs as the deaf and dumb man gesticulated his intended meanings quite realistically. In general those portraying minor roles were quite sensitive, were quite able to put across their character portrayals. This means you , Steve Gavala! You were funny! "But these don't have thumbs!" The set designer is to be commended for his ability to capture the atmosphere of the two different acts. The realistic rather than abstract sidewalk cafe set was quite well suited to the mood of the first act.

Andrea Gallet, Ellen Ramsey, Vernie Shiposh and Stephen Gavala, members of the College· s branch of the Young Democrats, showed Mr. Casey various points of interest on our campus and discussed his platform. Following this tour, Senator Casey held a press conference at the Hotel Sterling where he outlined his plans for Pennsylvania. Chief among these is his "Eight Point Program" for higher education featuring liberal scholarship grants. higher salaries for teachers at state colleges and systematic reduction of tuition. rliss Stales Policy ror Coming Tear Asked what problems he felt were most outstanding in northeastern Pennsylvania, Senator Casey stated that land and site reclamation, highway construction and supervision, and of course. better schools were top on his list.

Manuscript Distributed tributed by Milton Schapp. Mr. Schapp is also seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and is backed by labor leaders, particularly in the Philadelphia area. Senator Casey, the organization supported candidate, replied: "I believe this is simply an attempt to avoid the fact that my opponent has no experience in public office. I would be happy to match my record with Mr. Schapp's." Following the press conference, Senator Casey continued his tour of Wyoming Valley. The day culminated with a dinner party Thursday night at the Mayfair, sponsored by the Luzerne County Democratic Committee.

The title for this year 's fair, " Perspective '66," was chosen to represent both the individual artist and the department's view of looking ahead to the future. Several professors at Bucknell University expressed their view that large lecture sections result in only superficial learning. Large lecture sections make it necessary to give multiple choice tests which give an unrealistic estimate of a student's learning.

They were greeted by their respective former guests ( "Sacks" as they call suc h students at Ha m pt on ) . After a brief orientation and visit to the cafeteria, the Hamptonites spent the evening at a mixer. Friday 's daytime program included a trip to a typical Wyoming Valley coal mine, and some exchange students spent the remainder of the day visiting classes with their hosts. Cue and Cu rtain's performance of The Mad Woman of Chaillot began the evening's entertainm ent, which included a College sponsored dance and an un-sponsored trip to the Red Rooster. The Virginians enjoyed the greater part of Saturday at Dr. Farley's farm in the picturesque village of Beaumont where they played various ballgames, cooked out, and afterwards sang around the campfire. The Europa Lounge was the scene of the dinner-dance which they attended that night. The night was capped by a farewell party . O n Sunday morning, after attending optional religious services, the guests packed their suitcases marked "Mason-Dixon or bust" and departed. .-- Pictured above are some of the students involved in the Wilkes-Hampton Exchange: Hallie Raub, Philip Lee, Susan Druck, Charlotte Peterson, Donald Rosenberg, Liz Slaughter, Wallace Evans, Reggie Belden, Leon Black, Joni Kirchsenbaum, Andrew Perkins, Webster Meredith, Judith Mowak, Harry Russin and Steve Van Dycke.

W . - Vice-president D. D . - Secretary T. G . - Treasurer VIEWPOINT C ontinued from page 2 the only way this increased contact can be achieved is by d i p 1 o m a t i c recognition of China. Should the Chinese refuse to take advantage of the opportunities provided for contact, they would leave themselves open to a legitimate accusation of parochialism and may be blamed for any action we must undertake because even given the opportunity, they refused to try to understand our position . Concerning the economic factor, trade with China would be more beneficial to us than to China. This is so because China has nothing which the United States wants or needs but the United States does have what China needs, mainly food . Since China has nothing to trade. they would be forced to pav for our goods in specie or dollars , which would greatly weaken China's economy. There is also the possibility that China could become dependent on America as her source of supply and would therefore be less willing to jeopardize that source by hostile action. The only way in which trade can be carried out is through the machinery which diplomatic recognition would create. One of the many objections to American recognition is that the United States would lose face in Asian eyes by the apparent retreat from her traditional stand. I believe that , with proper preparation by our propaganda ar,encies, such an action cnu!d be interpreted as a movP: bv a strong nation genuinely interested in creating an atmosphere of understanding and cooperation conducive to peace. As to China's admittance to the United Nations, that is out of the question. China has stated her condition for entry into the United Nations. Acceptance of those terms would not only mean the hand-over of Taiwan to Red China but would also mean a fundamental change in the character of the organization. With the above argument in mind , I firmly believe that it is in the best interest of the United States an-d ,of world peace for the United States to extend recognition to the People's Republic of China, 111111111111111111111111111111 III I III II II II II II I 1111111111111111 III II III II III Ill II II III II II Ill II 1111111111 II 1111111111111111111111111111111 II III 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1II11111111111111111111111111 III 1111111111111111 H11dqu1rtera for Lettered COLLEGE COME TO US FOR ...

" Netman Tom Rokita 's tennis has been one of the top individual contributions to th e College's sports scene this year. As a freshman last year, Rokita posted a sizzling 9-2 log. In preparation for this Friday's M.A.C . tournament, Rokita is in fine shape to better last year's seasonal record. His log at present is a lofty 7-1. Last week Rokita added to his season's glories by downing, 7-5 and 6-3, a Muhlenberg opponent who had been undefeated until that time. Teamed with Dan Klem in doubles competition, this amazing duo has logged a 7 - I record in doubles. A self-taught player, Rokita took u;J tennis five years ago , A native of Kingston , Rokita starred on the Kingston High School track field and earned two letters in the sport. At the College Rokita is a member of the Lettermen's Club, having earned letters in soccer and tennis in his freshman year.

These National races are co-sponsored by the Cumberland, Maryland, Lions Foundation and the Steel Cities Region of the Sports Car Club of America. To date over $300,000 has been earned by these events and the money has been used by the Lions Club in its "FIGHT FOR SIGHT" program and various local charities. Behind the scenes will be some 1600 people - from Boy Scouts to pit crews, enthusiasts all - working together so that 50,000 spectators may enjoy a top racing program. This year's races will again include the Edgar H. Vandergrift Memorial, which is the feature race in the Cumberland event.

He points out that the team is young and as yet has not acquired ideal unity and college baseball experience. Despite this, Schmidt considers the team to be a match for any club in the league. The defensive play is superior and the team batting is powerful despite a "mid-season slump." The team is a hustling club and as a result has been ,holding its own in recent contests ,despite an apparent lack of "clutch-hitting," according to the coach. The loss of Joe Wiendl for the last three games has depleted the offensive battery and deadened the double-play TOM ROKlTA combination.

Hansgen had negotiated the Cumberland curves for a national record of four wins and one runner-up. The seventh race on Sunday, May 15, will be the Walt E. Hansgen Memorial, a deserved tribute to a skilled and honored driver. On Monday the Colonels travel to tangle with an unpredictable Ursinus squad. Next Wednesday Albright hosts the Wilkes baseballers. The following day Wilkes hosts Susquehanna, a team that registered two wins over the Colonels last year. Tennis The Wilkes tennismen host a visiting Scranton team tomorrow. Assistant Coach Rainey believes that the netmen "have a real good chance" to defeat their guests. The Moravian team, however, will be slightly harder to subdue on Monday. The team travels to Lehigh for the M.A.C. championship today and tomorrow. Rainey feels that the team as a whole will not fare too well, but individuals such as Tom Rokita and Dan Klem will place high in the final standings. Golf Today the Colonel duffers are at Scranton University participating in a match that Coach Farrar thinks is a toss-up. On Monday the golfers travel to Lehigh for the M .A.C.'s. Farrar believes that currently the Colonels are not a balanced team and therefore are not going to pose a threat to the M.A.C. crown held by LaSalle. Gettysburg, Susquehanna, and St. Joe's seem to be the strong contenders for the crown this year. Farrar, however, expects Perrego to capture an individual first. Next Thursday the Colonels travel to face Elizabethtown and Lycoming at Lycoming . Lycoming beat the Colonels at Kirby Field earlier this year. Elizabethtown, however, may succumb to the Colonel putters.

In a home contest held a week ago Wednesday, the Colonels were shut out 3-0 by Upsala. The Colonels' pitching and defense held up fairly well, but they were ineffective at the plate. Fred Bauer was credited with his third loss. Last Friday the Colonels picked up their fifth loss when they were outscored by Harper 4-2. Rich Klick put up a valiant mound effort but the Colonels were again outhit and he picked up his first loss of the season. Juniata handed the Colonels their third loss in a row as Wilkes was again shut out 3-0. Wilkes was only able to come up with two hits, both of them singles. Bill Vetter and George Stults recorded the safeties.

The Colonels, however, bowed, 6-3, to their hosts. 6-1. 6°2; Klem, W, defeated Morris, 6-4, 6-4: Tiskorik, W, lost to Van Arsdale, 6-3, 6-3; Shelden, W, lost to Harris, 6-4, 6-0; Meyers, W. lost to Jones, 6-4, 6-3.

Tom Rokita and Dan Klem won in singles and doubles competition, but the remainder of the squad suffered defeat at the hands of the Muhlen• berg netmen. Results: Captain Tom Rokita kept up his fine showing by defeating Ludwig of Susquehanna to start the Colonels off on the right foot. The Susquehanna netmen proved to be too powerful for the Wilkes squad as Bent, Tiskorik, Meyers and Shelden lost in singles competition.

Tomorrow afternoon at two the Colonels will host Stevens College in an attempt to improve their record. by Bob Thompson After suffering 4 setbacks, the Wilkes golfers hit their stride last Friday and downed East Stroudsburg State College 10-8 in a home performance at lrem Temple Country Club. The top match found Warren Landis of the visitors defeating Bill Perrego on an extra hole after both fired 77 for 18. The next scorer was Dan Murray of Wilkes with a 78. Results: Landis ( E) over Bill Perrego 2-1 . Bob Brown (W) over Kerry Bauman 3-0. Dan Murray (W) over Marty Dwyer 2-1. Ken Huhn ( E) over Bernie Vinovroski 2-1. Leo Rimer (E) over Mike Sharok 2½-½. Bill Kaylor (W) over Bob Spencer 2½-½ . On Saturday the Colonels finished on a good note, tieing with Harpur 4½4½. The reason for the low score was that a different scoring system was used. The MAC uses the Nassau system of scoring by which one point is awarded the winner of the front nine holes, one point for the back nine, and one point for total. In the Harpur con• test one point was awarded only for the match. At the same time the foursomes competed among themselves. If both partners beat their counterparts then the hole was awarded to that team. The tie was not played off because of the inclement weather. Results: Individual - P e r r e g o won 1--0; Brown lost 1-0; Murray won 1-0; Vioroski lost 1-0; Sharok lost 1-0; Farrar won 1-0. Better Ball: Perrego & Brown I; Murray & Vinvroski ½; Sharok & Farrar 0. On Monday the golfers of Coach Farrar continued their winning streak with an 11 ½-6½ victory over Muhlenberg at home. The duffers lost only two matches in posting their biggest victory margin of the season . Bernie Vinvroski pulled the big surprise of the game with a sizzling 76, despite a triple bogie on the thirteenth hole. Steve Farrar had his best match of the season on gaining all three points for the Wilkes cause. Results: Perrego won 2-1; Murray won 2-1; Brown lost 2½-½; Vinvroski won 3-0; Kaylor lost 1-2; Farrar won 3-0. Finally on Tuesday the Colonels' winning streak was broken at Albright by a 10½-7½ margin. Their record now stands at 2-5-1. The Colonels now have seven contests remaining and the MAC tournament Monday at Lehigh. Bill Perrego will be out to better his showing in the last two MAC tournaments. In 1964 he finished fourth and in 1965 he finished sixth. Others who have qualified thus far to make the trip to Lehigh are Dan Murray and Bob Brown.
