For The Memories Dear Editor: It is difficult for a newspaper staff to measure the impact of its publication. We hear many complaints, many compliments; but these comments are irrelevant to the real effectiveness of the paper. The impact generated by a newspaper can be evaluated by the results which it has achieved in its reading public. We hope that the 1965-66 BEACON has stimulated action in some areas at the College. According to Arnold Toynbee, the development of a society is dependent on a challenge-and-response pattern. The degree of development in a society is directly related to the way in which this society meets a particular challenge. A society that fails to meet this challenge stagnates. Toynbee's theory can be applied to the College in general and to each student in particular. During the course of the 196566 school year the campus has been faced with a series of challenges, or problems. The BEACON has endeavored to present these problems to the student body. As a campus newspaper, we can only recommend what WE feel is the correct response to this problem. How the student body, and how each student, reacts to a problem is indicative of his own development. An example of this challenge-response theory during the year was the uproar among the students and faculty that resulted from the administration's dismissal of the chairman of the English department. Some students protested - pro and con, some wrote indignant letters to the editor, some merely accepted what was done with no comment or opinion. This final group consists of the people who produce stagnation in a society. At this point, we wish to mention those people, not members of the staff, who have contributed to the publication of the BEACON each week. Miss Martha Hadsel of the English department, who served as advisor to the staff during the first semester, aided us tremendously with her knowledge of and experience in journalistic techniques. Director of public relations Mr. Edward Wallison, present BEACON advisor, has contributed the diplomatic technique usually associated with his position at the College to aid us in student and administrative relations. We also wish to thank our printers, Llewellyn and McKane, for their patience during our frequent Wednesday night and Thursday morning crises. Publishing a newspaper each week is a difficult job, but the task can be even more difficult under certain handicaps. Thus, we would like to make one important suggestion that we feel would help the 1966-67 BEACON staff in its efforts to produce an effective weekly newspaper. We feel that the responsibility for the allocation of BEACON (and AMNICOLA and MANUSCRIPT) funds should be taken away from a few Student Government members and given to a board of publications, composed of a few students and faculty members who are EXPERIENCED in the area of publications. We might add that this board should not be composed of members of the administration. A publication expressing student opinion should NOT be dependent on the administration of a college for its funds. We cannot entirely blame Student Government for the BEACON'S lack of funds this year. Student Government receives a certain amount for its own budget from the administration. Naturally, they cannot go beyond this budget. However, we feel that any college concerned with the welfare of the student body should be willing to support financially a student newspaper. Finally, we would like to wish the 1966-67 BEACON staff - led by Barbara Simms, Bill Kanyuck, Leona Sokash, Walt Narcum, and Carl Worthington - success in the coming year. what • where • when "HEADSHRINKERS HULLABALOO" -Gym- Tonight, 9.to 12 p.m. BASEBALL (Wilkes vs. Dickinson) - Home- Tomorrow, 2 p.m. GOLF (Wilkes vs. Mansfield) -Away- Tomorrow, 12 noon TENNIS (Wilkes vs. Moravian) - Home - Tomorrow, 2 p.m. GOLF (Wilkes vs. Scranton) - Home - Mon., May 16, 2 p.m. TENNIS (Wilkes vs. Ursinus) - Home- Wed., May 18, 2:30 p.m. GOLF (Wilkes vs. Albright) - Away- Thur., May 19, 2 p.m. BASEBALL (Wilkes vs. Alumni) - Home - Sat., May 21, 1:30 p.m. JUNIOR-SENIOR DINNER DANCE - Hotel Sterling - Thur., June 2, 6:30 p.m. BACCALAUREATE SERVICES-Gym - Sun., June 5, 5 p.m. COMMENCEMENT - Gym - Mon., June 6, 8 p.m. WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Ruth Portillo , NEWS EDITOR SPORTS EDITOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR Judy Volunos Williom Kanyuck h,bora Simms COPY EDITOR EXCHANGE EDITOR BUSINESS MANAGER Cloire Sheridan Corol Goss Todd Gibbs EDITORIAL STAFF Helen Du9on, Florence Gre,kiewicz, Steve Govolo, Koren Gerstein, Cloudio Hoch, Jone Joncik1 Steve Kish, Joyce Lennon, Kious Loquosto, Wolt Norcum, Irene Norkoifot Corol Okrosinski' Chuck Petrillo, Lois Petroski, Mory Quinn, Judy Rock1 Cecile Rosen, Leono ~okosh, Lorroine So osh, Chris Sulot, Cloire Sheridon, Vicki Tetz, Joel Thiele.

Kalafut, I. M. Scheikinz, S. Lurie We think it is time that the people of America realized that it will not be long before the United States is confronted with the decision of whether to support the U.S.S.R. or Red China in the race for world domination. This does not mean that by then the United States will not still be equal to either of the two at that time but we will be faced with the knowledge that in the ensuing conflict the winner will be infinitely stronger than we, if the two have not brought nuclear war down on themselves and its side effects down on us. But we are the ones who will decide which of the above possibilities will come to be. There can be no doubt that whichever of the two we support will be victorious. There can also be no doubt as to which of the two Communist powers we should ally ourselves to; it must be Russia. Russia has been our ally. our neutral supporter in all but two of our wars, the War of 1812 and the Korean War. Closer Relationships To this traditional friendship we must add the fact that both of our countries have been drifting closer and closer in matters of economics and in opoosition to China. In the years since the death of Stalin. the Russian economy has been gradually becoming more and more like ours as the Soviet leaders realize that their system of total governmental control and planning of the economy must give way to the demands of the consumer for more and better goods. They have also come to the point where they have been forced, by the subtle pressure of the great Russian masses and the citizens of their satellites, to the realization that no state can maintain itself indefinitely while suppressing the individualism and the free expression of its citizenry. Approaching Socialism On the other hand we have gradually been approaching a state of socialism which will be little different from that of the Soviet Union before too many more decades pass. In addition there is the spectre of Red China , a state obviously bent on spreading its variety of totalitarianism over the entire world including the Soviet Union. But even if China were not Communist, she would present the g r e a t e s t threat to us and to the world of any country in h i s t o r y . China must expand if she is to support her population which will top one billion before long . but she is not the only country in the world with an expanding population. China must expand but there is not enough land left in the world for China to expand without pushing aside its present owners. We are faced with the inevitable question of who annihilates whom? Thus we will have to choose one of the two alternatives. We can allow China to continue her expansion until she and her swarming multitudes are strong enough to overcome both the Soviet Union and us, unless we resort to atomic weapons and risk destroying the world. or we can join our fate to that of the Russians. Since they will be the first of the major powers to be attacked by China, we must unite with Russia now before it is too late. We must be prepared to overlook the high moral principles which have guided us for so long and be ready to join the Soviet Union in the total destruction of China if no other solution appears to the problem of stopping the expansion of China into territory which she has no right to occupy. Now then, getting back to my rational argument, what are the ramifications of such financial losses, not only in the particular case of the Hootenanny, but in all activities. Only thisyou who cry that you want popular entertainment - the Beach Boys. Simon and Garfunkle - will never get it. Not while significant organizations such as Student Government and administrative council exist. I. as an individual. am quite willing to propose to you the following plan (remember, I am acting as Matt Fliss, not Matt Fliss. Student Government President). Bond Necessary If you as an individual deem it valuable enough to have entertainment such as the Beach Boys and Simon and Garfunkle, etc., you must tell me so and guarantee your support by posting an individual bond of $5 or some such sum per person beyond ticket price to insure success of the venture, so that you as an individual are underwriting the loss. You, then, as a body of individuals, may choose representatives to choose your entertainment. We shall then ask community organizations to rent space to run such a concert ( possibly the College gym or the Kingston armory) . Remember you are acting as individuals, not representing or using the name of the College. If a loss of 1200 or 1500 or 2000 dollars occurs, as it usually does in College functions. the loss will come out of YOUR POCKET. If it is not incurred, the bond will be broken down and redistributed to the individuals who put up the money. Let me then judge the significance of these groups by the amount of interest this proposal elicits in you.

Fliss' Policy Includes New Tutorial Project by Paula Eike In a recent Beacon interview, the newly elected president of Student Government, Matt Fliss, was questioned about his policy for next year. During the interview Fliss stated that he hoped to initiate a tutorial program on campus. Toward the fulfillment of this promise he has made considerable progress and has issued the following statement: "After doing some initial research on other colleges' tutorial programs for the past year, I came up with a golden opportunity for the enactment of a Wilkes College tutorial program. The Wyoming Valley Council of Churches, in cooperation with the local Office of Economic Opportunity, has set up a service program for migrant workers. This program will run from June 15 to November 15. One of the sections of this service program involves the establishment of a tutorial program and a recreational program. I am primarily concerned with the tutorial part of the program. The pertinent facts are these: I . " Last year the College was given a sizeable grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity. The jobs which this program provided sometimes proved to have much less meaning than a college student would wish. Books Chosen For Program by Chris Sulat Next fall, Student Government will sponsor th e third reading program for incoming freshmen. Matt Fliss, chairman, said that th e purpose of the program is " to foster understanding in incoming freshmen ( while putting meat under their mental belts) ." Student moderators will be notified of th eir acceptance by mail sometime nex t week. They will be chosen on th e basis of an evaluation of their abi lity by the committee. A four day orientation for the teachers will probably be held beiore the first seminar. The books chosen are Edith Hamilton's The Greek Way, Jam es B. Conant's Two Modes of Thought or My Encounters with Science and Education, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, and a book concerning Negro relations in Am erica still to be chosen. The Greek Way emphasizes the roots of our culture and concepts in Greek thought. Conant's book demonstrates how the empirical inductive approach and theoretical deductive approach have influenced the United States and European concepts of law and education. The Prophet provides a mystical transcendental experience beyond th e realm of fact and concept formation. The criterion for choosing the books was that they should provide a general framework and a broad outline of information to both science and humanities majors. Also they were to be available in either paperback or inex pensive hard bound editions. Chairman Fliss said that he would like to thank Miss Lord, Dr. Rosenberg, Mrs. Mistichelli, co-chairmen Alan Saidman and Hermon George for their help and cooperation. 2. "Reverend Hartzell of the Council of Churches and I have been discussing the service program's need for teachers and co-ordinators. 3. "We have a number of students at the College in need of summer employment to whom the program will prove to be significant. 4. "The question I am now researching and should have solved within the next week is the feasibility of a number of the students working in such a program. The program would not only provide them with a reasonable wage, but also a meaningful job. "If this program proves feasible , individuals could work in their own fields and gain valuable experience while making a significant• contribution to other individuals, the community, and the society." by Claudia Hoch The highlight of Spring Weekend was the crowning of Miss Marie Persic as queen of the Cinderella Ball last Friday night. Miss Persic is a psychology major from Riverside, New Jersey. She is secretary of the Assembly Committee, past president of Sturdevant Hall, captain of the women's field hockey team, president of the Student Advisory Committee, secretary of the Ski Club, and a member of the Psychology Club. She has been Snowflake Princess, H o m e c o m i n g Princess, and a contestant in the BestDressed Coed contest. Runner-up for the title of Cinderella queen was Sharon Tormey, of Binghamton, New York. Miss Tormey is a psychology major and is vice-president of W eckesser Hall. The other eight contestants were Vicki Tatz, Beverly Wisloski, Lois Petroski, Janet Vanderhoff, Rosemary Rush, Regina Watkins Wartella, Susan Evans, and Carol Ann Saidman. The activities for the evening began at 9 p.m. in the Dorian Room of the Host Motel. Decorations for the ball included table centerpieces of red, white, and pink porn-porns· and carnations with white candles. Brandy snifters were given as favors. The couples danced in the lovely atmosphere to the music of Ray Barno and his orchestra until I a.m. Punch was served throughout the evening. The crowning of the Cinderella queen took place at 11 p.m. after a commentary given by Miss Charlotte Lord, of the English department, and Al Airola. The ten candidates each carried a dozen pink roses, and Miss Persic was presented with a dozen red First prize of $75 was given to Pat McCaskey, a student from Franklin and Marshall. Bob Schoenholtz from the College was awarded the $50 second prize and third prize of $25 was given to Clark Bromfield, also of the College. The first prize of $75 for group performances was divided between two groups. The Van Pattens from East Stroudsburg State College and the Lookout Trio from the College shared the honors. Members of the Lookout Trio are Lou Carpenter, Don Conway, and Beverly Erwine. Judges for the Hootenanny were Miss Marene Olson, sociology instructor, Mr. Michael Stein of the art department, and Mr. Ed Wallison, Pictured above is Pete Mccaskey, who public relations director for the Colwon first place in the Intercollegiate lege.

The candidates also were given gifts donated by local merchants. STUDENTS HONORED AT FINAL ASSEMBLY The receiving line for the affair included Dr. and Mrs. Francis J, Michelini; Dean George Ralston and his wife; Mrs. Margaret Ahlborn, dean of women; John Cavallini and Betsy Slayton; Matt Fliss and Alicia Ramsey; Joe Gatto and Rosalie Mazur; and Sharon Daney and Bill Sorber. At the final assembly of the spring semester, awards were presented to the outstanding students and athletes of the year. Mr. Wallison presented the Beacon awards to the senior staff members. Honored were Ruth Partilla, Judy Valunas, Todd Gibbs, Chuck Petrillo , Florence Greskiewicz, Lois Petroski, Jane Jancik, Vicki Tatz, and Stephen J. Gavala. John Carr was chosen Athlete of the Year and his award was presented by Bill Kanvuck, sports editor of the Beacon. The second event of Spring Weekend, the Intercollegiate Hootenanny, was held in the gym Saturday night at 8 p .m. There were 14 performances, three groups and eleven singles. by Patsy Moir Biology Awards Teachers To Study, Tour Instruct In Foreign Climes by Steve Kish It seems that every year near the end of the semester conversa tion in the cafeteria turns toward the long-awaited summertim e fun and frolic . We students ask eac h other where we're going and what we will do for the next three months of bliss. But does anyone ask the instructors and professors how they will spend their vacation? It might interest you to know that four of our faculty members will be spending their vacations in various foreign countries. They are: Miss Olson of th e sociology department, Mr. Valero and Mr. Sweeney of the modern language department, and Miss Lord, a member of the English department. The countries they will visit include : Spain, Italy , France, Germany , andOkinawa. Miss Olson , who will not return to the College, plans to spend some time in the Far East. In her travels she will visit Okinawa, Japan and the Philippines. This being her second tript to that part of th e world, her trip might be called the Far East revisited. She has applied for a position with the University of Maryland 's Far East division in Okinawa where she would like to teach sociology and anthropology. Miss Olson, who spent a year in the Philippines, would like to return and teach in that country. H er plan is to teach solely for personal satisfaction: she will not be paid. Quite different from her plans are those of Mr. Valero who plans to return to Spain to take examinations at the University of Madrid. He will probably leave near the end of the summer and return before the beginning of the fall semester. Taking with him a camera and tape-recorder, he w ill gather material for his classes next ,yea r. Another member of the College's modern language department who will spend some time overseas is Mr. Sweeney who is going to France in August for a sightseeing and pleasure trip. He will spend most of his time in an area populated with people concerned with the arts. Dr. Reif presented the biology beaker to Sarah Leonard and Marie Supko, and the Pollywog Award to Carolyn Yonkin and Anthony Ross.

Committee Studies Acaden1ic Integrity by Paula Eike The Committee on Academic Integrity has made considerable progress since its inception last October. The committee is composed of five represen tatives each from the administration, the faculty and the student body. It represents the first time on campus that these three groups have joined on an equal basis to consider problems. The general purpose of the. committee is to study the responsibility of the three groups toward each other and toward the College itself. This responsibility is being studied particularly in the light of the rapidly growing and changing institution. Don Davis of the Junius Society honored Mike Konnick as the senior with the high es t average in history. The Collegians were represented by Ed Pashinski who presented awards to Jim Eitel, conductor, and Jack Berkey, most valuable senior. The Commerce and Finance award was prese nted by Mr. Gera, who honored Karen Moran. Since October the committee has been involved mainly in what might be called fact-finding, that is, doing research on what other campuses with similar problems have done, are doing and plan to do. One of the main questions now being studied is the possibility and feasability of the initiation of an honor code on our campus. Much research has been done with regards to various questions relating to the honor system, such as the degree to which the character of a college affects the proper functioning of the system, and in what classes or subjects is this most practical. Also along this line is the problem of proper methods of testing and examination. After the research phase of the program is completed, most likely in early October, the committee will present an assembly program to the student body, explaining in detail the findings of the committee thus far, and outlining their future plans. After this, a series of meetings will be heJd with various members of the College community to obtain a complete picture of. campus opinion on the work of the committee and its findings. When this final phase of the program is completed, the committee will submit reports on their findings from both the research done on other campuses and the opinions on our campus. �Paae4 Thal WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Alice is so impressed by the finished product that she decides to compli, ment the BEACON'S advisors.

Perhaps the credit goes to Dr. Cox? Dr. Farley? A slightly numbed Alice is now found stumbling up River Street. As she stops to rest on the wall outside Chase, she is drawn to the lawn by wild merriment in full swing - TDR As Chapter I opens, the author focuses his attention from the vast campus of a small community college to its very pulse point - the newspaper office, which we shall refer to as Beaconland. The door slowly opens as our heroine, a mysterious traveler, whom we shall call Alice, enters Beaconland. Here Alice is given a glimpse of how the various cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the Beacon staffers melt together into one scene of mass confusion as the paper is put to bed. Slipping in unobserved, she comes upon a scene that captivates her. Good Grief! It's Ruth Partilla with Walt Narcum - no, now it's Bill Kanyuck - no, it's Walt Narcum again no, Judy Valunas. Oh well. Over in a corner with a glass of water in her shaky hand Barbara Simms is making a major decision. Should she take two green and one white, or two white and one pink? or is throwing a mad tea bash for the administration on Chase Lawn to celjust one quick belt of scotch. ebrate a dual accomplishment. Tonight the curtain is to rise for the first time ( they hope) on the new Center for the Performing Arts and secondly their exquisite taste and conviction have acquired for them a truly astonishing English professor, whose fantastic talent has brought much infamy their way. Was Alice's interest became more stimulated with each quickening step till she found herself nearly running as she approached the new Center. As she stood at its entrance, in spastic disbelief, she was being passed by students in sneakers with packs strapped on their backs. Friday, May 13, 1966 ground, she saw lines of rejected cars picketing in strict formation and setting fire to the campus. · After visiting the queen of hearts in Chase Hall, Alice next traveled to survey her culinary court. As Alice sits listening intently to the assorted gossip in the good old caf, Beaconites Judy and Ruthie are twittering glibly about the press convention they had attended in San Francisco. Alice surmises from their chatter that they gleaned much valuable knowledge from their participation in the convention. Judy has come back with the presswoman's guide to a 101 quickie mix drinks and Ruthie discovered that the basic foundation of a newspaper rests in silicone; and so she has brought back a year's supply. San Francisco was not quite prepared for Foo/le and the Bod and the excitement was so great that they caused a cable car to crash. While in the car, Alice overhears that the cafeteria was having a marvelously successful year. Only a hundred and fourteen cases of food poisoning were reported so far this year, a decrease of almost fifty per cent from last year's toll. She overhears the rumor that the new caf is going to be staffed by the Borgias, and decides, after tasting the substances served there, that this would be a decided improvement. Another group passes by and it seems that the ICG (International Call Girls?) is rivaling the former Econ Club for the tide of the most pristine, pure, reserved club on campus. t Now Ruth, are you sure this is the shortest way to the Ladies' Room? whole of the Cheshire Cat, and his grin was not less magnificent. He and his brother spoke of a Promised Land beyond whose rivers had once flowed milk but now gushed red sparkling Kool-Aid. The one called the Builder of Men waved a parchment before the multitude, upon which were the names of the brethren who were already enjoying the blessings of this strange land. As the Company, quill in hand, eagerly awaited the passing of the parchment, Alice found it necessary to withdraw to without, where she beheld a multitude swearing great oaths and singing hymns of battle. In their midst arose a great Bame, kindled by rectangular bits of wooden pulp, to which every man contributed. Alice later discovered that these castaways had been expelled from the chosen group inside for various deformities of the body. These rejected ones now sought to be taken back by means of supplication and burnt offerings. Alice could not be longer detained. But as she saddled her ass and debarked once again, she could not help but hear a multitude of Kingsmen gathered in the Square demonstrating with signs saying "I'd rather bitch than fight." Next Alice finds herself on top of a snow-covered mountain in the Poconos. As she watches the happy students killing each other with toboggans, sleds and skis, she recognizes the affair as being that of the annual winter carnival. As she finds her way skillfully down the mountain (that's As reports drifted to her such as another way of saying some idiot A rose in the nose is worth two on the bush.

Enlightened and enraptured she listens, in twelve tongues, yet, to the truly enlightened man tell her of the beauty of the Tropic of Cancer. Alice leaves, thoroughly convinced that the world is at an end, and hastens to tell the rest of the world before it is too late. On the way to the Public Relations Office, Alice passes a group of demonstrators. What has happened to dear old Wilkes? Demonstrations? They must be some pacifist group passing out pamphlets. As she reaches Chase Hall, Alice notices another tea on Chase lawn (In March?). It seems that TDR is sponsoring a tea to celebrate the Fine Art Center's latest masterpiece, The Lottery, including its marvelous curtain call, and also in celebration of the firing of that marvelous English professor. This is just too much for Alice and on the steps of Chase Hall, she falls into a state of shock. When she awakens in Gordon Roberts' office, she is curious about what happened. The dean tells her that it was for her own good. The Year Thal At a recent meeting of the B'nai Brith •.. The look, listen, and sometimes learn technique she was forced to use in order to obtain the bountiful Bow of answers concerning the McCrossen affair (which I hear will be the subject of an upcoming book authored by a certain public relations man turned sour) took her to varied places, one being the old Wright Street mud lot.

Then once again, just like in the good old days , the tow trucks lined up and did their work till their pockets bulged. But remember: It must be for the good of the College. Alice, a thoroughly disillusioned ingenue, now stands from Beaconland and makes plans for her speedy return to the security of her realistic world.

Klick's stellar performance on the mound has been excelled only by his batting performances. The Wilkes Netmen faced the Scranton Royals for the second time this season on our home court Saturday. With a record of 1-6 the Colonels hoped to boost their victory column. Earlier in the season the College defeated Scranton on their home court. Spurred on by the preliminary victory of Tom Rokita in singles competition the Colonels managed to squeeze by Scranton wi th a 5-4 edge. Other victories against Scranton included those by Klem and Myers in singles, Klem and Rokita and Piskorik and Sheldon in doubles. Tomorrow the Colonels face Moravian on our home court at 2 p.m. The netmen have wrapped up their season this week. Both their wins have been at the expense of Scranton. Results: Singles - Rokita won, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3; Klem won , 6-4, 6-3; Bent lost, 6-1, 6-2; Meyers won, 7-5, 9-7, 6-4; Piskorik lost, 6-4, 6-4; Sheldon lost, 6-4, 6-4.

Wilkes Edges Stevens, Bombed by Moravian The Colonels' hardballers, behind the stellar hurling of Rick Klick, edged Stevens Tech 3-2 last Saturday afternoon at the Wilkes Athletic Field. Klick who is now 3-1 on the year, had a no-hitter going into the seventh w hen Stevens' Anderson connected with a triple for the visitors' first hit. Klick's only loss came at the hands of Harpur by a 4-2 margin. The Colonels, who are now 4-8 on the year, scored a single run in the second inning after John Ladomirak, our leading hitter with 2 for 4, singled, moved around on an error and a fielder's choice, and scored on an error by the catcher. Wilkes scored twice in the eighth w hen Barry T iras singled and John Kopetchay reached base on an error. After a fielder's choice play, Tiras scored on a ·single by Joe Skvarla and Kopetchay came home on an outfielder's throwing error. Stevens came up with a run in the seventh and one in the ninth to fall one short of tying the Colonels. The Colonels had six hits to Stevens' five . Colonels Bombed A week ago Thursday, the Colonels were swamped by a strong Moravian nine, 14-2. Pat Sweeney started on the mound for the Colonels, but was lifted after g1vmg up 11 runs. Two other Colonel . Pitchers, Ladomirak and Bauer, helped to stem the tide, but the damage was already done and all efforts to close the gap were in vain.

He merited this honor by proving himself to be one of the finest grapplers ever produced at Wilkes. Beacon Picks Carr Athlete ol the Year by Bob Thompson At the annual awards assembly yesterday, the Beacon "Athlete of the Year Award" was presented to John Carr. He adds this to his already impressive collection of trophies including the Letterman "Athlete of the Year" award presented at the College's annual awards dinner. In his year and a half as a Wilkes grappler, Carr has achieved a phenomenal record of 16 wins and no defeats in dual competition despite constant shifting of weight class. In his junior year Carr was a runner-up at 167 pounds in the 1964 Wilkes Open Tourney, MAC champion after five straight dual meet victories, and NCAA Small College Champion. He lost in the quarter-finals of the NCAA Championships ending a brilliant junior year. He entered his senior year as one of the top ranked wrestlers in the nation at 167 pounds, and he went on to prove it. Carr became the first Wilkes grappler to gain a crown in the Wilkes Open, went on to repeat by Bob Thompson Last Thursday the Colonel golfers dropped another close decision, this time to Moravian 9½-8½. The score was knotted at 8½-all with Kaylor and his opponent even after 18 holes. Kaylor then lost the first hole of a sudden death playoff, giving Moravian the one point victory margin. Steve Farrar moved up to fifth position and from there continued his winning streak in gaining all three match points. Results: Perrego lost 2-1; Brown lost 3-0; Murray won 2-1; Vinvorski tied 1!/i-1½; Farrar won 3-0; Kaylor lost 2-1. The following day the duffers were away .in a tri-meet with Scranton and Lycoming at Scranton. For the second time this season they dropped a double-header, bowing to Lycoming 11½-6½ and to Scranton 11-7. In their last encounter Lycoming took the. measure of Wilkes 13½-4½. Bob Brown again turned in a fine performance with only ½ point being scored against him. Results: Perrego lost to Typen (L) 2-1; Perrego lost to Kergovitch (S) 2-1 (ovt); Murray (W) lost tq Carsman (L) 2-1 (ovt); Murray (W) lost to Buchko (S) 3-0; Brown (W) over Cole (S) 3-0; Brown (W)" over Haner (L) 2½-½; Vinvorski (W) over Lonelle (S) 2-1; Vinvorski (W) lost to Bekrens (L) 2-1; Farrar (W) lost to Albright (S) 3-0; Farrar (W) lost to Little (L) 3-0; Kaylor (W) lost to Kennedy (S) 2-1; Kaylor (W) lost to Pobick (L) 2-1. In the Middle Atlantic Conference tournament held at Lehigh on Monday ,the Colonels made a better-showing than expected. They finished 20th in a field of 27. In this tournament, however, there are no ·-separate divisions for large or small colleges and the Colonels came out as one of the better small colleges. The tournament was captured by Lehigh, dethroning '65 champs, La Salle. Following Lehigh by 3 strokes was Franklin and Marshall, with Bucknell third and Susquehanna fourth . In dual competition Susquehanna overwhelmed the Colonels 16½-l½. as MAC champion at 160 pounds sharing the MVP award, and a NCAA Small College title. He captured and inspired a team which took second place in the NCAA tourney. A favorite at 160 in the NCAA Tournament and in hopes of a title, he was upset in overtime in a contested bout in the semi-finals, breaking his 23-meet winning streak. He went on to take his 111111111111111111111 Ill llll II II II II II II IIII II II consolation match by a 6-2 score, an honor but still a disappointment.

Tops for Wilkes was Perrego who shot 83-92-175. Perrego had a disappointing second round and finished 24th in a field of 108. Last year he finished 6th and in 1964 he finished 4th. Individual scores were: Perrego - 175; Murray - 186; Brown - 186; Farrar - 192. With four games remaining the duffers of Coach Farrar still have a chance to finish one of their best seasons of late. Next year promises to be a successful season with only one senior, Bill Kaylor, on this year's team. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT: HIS CAUSE AND CURE Oh, sure, you've been busy, what with going to classes, doing your homework, catching night crawlers, getting married, picketing-but can't you pause for just a moment and give thought to that dear, dedicated, lonely i:nan in the big white house on the hill? I refer, of course, to Prexy. (It is interesting to note that college presidents are always called "Prexy." Similarly, trustees are always called "Trixie." Associate professors are always called "Axy-Pixy." Bursars are called "Foxy-Woxy." Students are called "Algae.") But I digress. We were speaking of Prexy, a personage at once august and pathetic. Why pathetic? Well, sir, consider how Prexy spends his days. He is busy, busy, busy. He talks to deans, he talks to professors, he talks to trustees, he talks to alumni. In fact, he talks to everybody except the one group who could lift his heart and rally his spirits. I mean, of course, the appealingest, endearingest, winsomest group in the entire college-delightful you, the students. It is Prexy's sad fate to be forever a stranger to your laughing, golden selves. He can only gaze wistfully out the window of his big white house on the hill and watch you at your games and sports and yearn with all his tormented heart to bask in your warmth. But how? It would hardly be fitting for Prexy to appear one day at the Union, clad in an old rowing blazer, and cry gaily, "Heigh-ho, chaps! Who's for sculling?" No, ifriel).ds, Prexy can't get to you. It is up to you to get to him. Call on him at home. Just drop in unannounced. He will naturally be a little shy at first, so you must put him at his ease. Shout, "Howdy-doody, sir! I have come to bring a little sunshine into your drear and blighted life!" Then yank his necktie out of his vest and scamper goatlike around him until he is laughing merrily along with you. Then hand him a package and say, "A little gift for you, sir." "For me?" he will say, lowering his lids. "You shouldn't have." "Yes, I should," you will say, "because this is a pack of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and whenever I think of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, I think of you." "Why, hey?" he will ask curiously. "Because, sir," you will say, "though you are no longer a young blade, still you gleam and function. Full though you are of years and lumps, rheumy though your endocrines and flaccid your hamstrings, still you remain sharp, incisive, efficacious." "Thank you," he will say, sobbing. "So it is with Personna," you will continue. "Naturally you expect a brand-new blade to give a close, speedy shave. But how about a blade that's had hard and frequent use? Do you still expect a close, speedy shave? Well, sir, if it's a Personna, that's what you'll get. Because, sir, like you, sir, Personna is no flash-in-the-pan. Like you, sir, Personna abides." He will clasp your hand then, not trusting himselt to speak. "But away with gloom!" you will cry jollily. "For I have still more good news to tell you of Personna !" "How is that possible?" he will say. "Hearken to me," you will say. "Personna, in all its enduring splendor, is available not only in Double Edge style but also in Injector style!" He will join you then in the Personna rouser, and then he will bring you a steaming cup of cocoa with a marshmallow on top. Then you will say, "Good-bye, sir. I will return soon again to brighten your dank, miasmic life." "Please do," he will say. "But next time, if you can possibly manage it, try not to come at four in the morning." © 1966, Max Shulmar.

FRESHMEN COMPLETE Sophs Need ORIENTATION, HAZING SG Member by Darya Petyo Today, the last day of hazing, cul' minates the two-week period of Fresh: man Orientation , which co-chairmen / Barry Miller and Mike Clark began planning during the summer months. A picnic highlighted an intense, , fast-moving orientation week. Buses transported the freshmen to Dr. Farley's farm where they began their activities with an enthusiastic pep - rally. Both Miller and Clark commented on the cooperation and "great enthusiasm " presented by the freshmen at this initial rally and later throughout orientation. A box lunch gave the freshmen the energy needed to spend the afternoon playing touch football , softball, and volley ball. Upperclassmen got in the act, too, and beat the freshmen at ' volleyball. The success of this picnic has been great enough to warrant a recommendation that it be continued. During the week of orientation, students met various members of the faculty and administration whose duty it was to acquaint them with life at the College. The Student Viewpoint Thursday's activities were run exclusively by Student Government and gave the student viewpoint. Presidents of the various campus organizations discussed the purpose of their clubs, after which freshmen were given the opportunity to speak individually to the officers of those organizations in which they had an interest. Big Brothers and Big Sisters were on hand that afternoon to meet the incoming freshmen. The organization in this program resulted in little confusion and only a few students had more than two Little Brothers or Sisters. During the summer, letters were sent to upperclassmen and freshmen asking them to write or phone each other. Many complied with this request, which Miller feels helped them to know each other before meeting and contributed to the success of this program. Clark also pointed out that this year's attempt to match students, day to day, dorm to dorm, according to majors seems to have been another factor contributing to the success of this year's program . by Chris Sulat The sophomore class held its first meeting last Tuesday. The meeting was called to order, the minutes read, and a treasurer's report given. The two new class advisors, Mr. Stanley Gutin and Dr. Donald Tappa, were introduced. Both said that they were glad to have been appointed advisors. A new Student Government representative must be elected and nominations for that office were held. Those nominated were: Ron Barnick, 1.hris Fisher, George Pawlush, Chris Shaw, and Chris Sulat. The election will be held on Monday in the cafeteria from 9 a .m. to 4 p .m. Plans were discussed for the Sophomore Class Dance and the SophomoreJunior Hayride. Applications were distributed for membership on the Executive Council. The applications will be availabl e in various buildings on campus. Attendance at class meetings is now compulsory. Role will be taken and any cut will be considered an assembly cut. The dates of the Upperclassmen uphold the torch of tradition at the mock tribunal, class meetings are on the school cala part of the annual freshman orientation-hazing program. endar. Saturday found the entire freshman class, complete with clinks, ties, and pennants, at Parrish, eager and enthusiastic about their first football game as College students. The enthusiasm with which they sang and cheered as they marched to Ralston Field was evident all afternoon. Clark described them as more cooperative and enthusiastic than last year 's class. At Ralston Field the freshmen cheered the Colonels on to a 10-0 victory over East Stroudsburg. Mock Tribunal That night a mock tribunal followed by a victory dance put the finishing touches on what freshmen considered a "wonderful week". · Upperclassmen who participated in the tribunal put a great deal of effort and imagination into it. The Cobras furnished music afterwards for a dance on the parking lot behind the field house. A fast moving, activity fill ed orientation week ended with the commencement of hazing, the rules of which have been altered slightly. To foster class unity, freshmen could not be forced to sing or cheer unless in groups of at least three. Also the two-week period was shortened to one week w ithout any possibility of an extension . It was felt that one week was enough time to haze with out straining tempers. By the second week, last y ear's class had lost all enthusiasm and hazing was more farce than fun. Freshmen cannot be brought before tribunal by referral now. Special forms requiring the names and addresses of accused, accuser, and one upperclassman witness are required. The forms are available at Chase and Parrish. The completed forms with the nature of the offense must then be returned to orientation officials. Today th e freshmen are invited to attend a social luncheon sponsored by ICG to acquaint them with this club. It will be held in Stark 132 from 12 to 2. Tomorrow, a tribunal will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Ralston field . No extended punishments will be given; it will be swift and sure. Following the tribunal, a dance featuring Mel Wynn and th e Rhythm Aces will be held on th e parking lot behind the field house. HELP WANTED Any student interested in working in the cafeteria is asked to contact Mr. Hannagan. Recently, the New York Post pub~ lished an articl e entitled "Competitive Colleges" which rated Wilkes · among the 92 most sought-after colleges •iil the nation. This list, publishe d by Columbia University Press, appeared in a recent edition of th e College Discovery Index. Also, within the last four years, this list has increased from 58 to 92, which indicates that many American colleges are becoming more selective and more demanding in their scholastic re_q uirements. In order to qual ify among the 92, each college must select students of high-scholastic caliber; therefore, applicants with A or B averages tend to be chosen. Also, each prospectiv e freshman should be ranked in the upper ten percent of his class and have an SAT score of 600 or above. The College Discovery Index lists the "competitive colleges" according to region and alphabetical order. The College is listed among the Middle Atlantic colleges. Other schools in this category are Carnegie Institute of T echnology, Colgate, Cornell, Dickinson, Franklin and Marshall, Princeton, Vassar, and William Smith. Colleges from the New England area are Bates, Brandeis, Brown , Harvard , Radcliffe , Tufts, and Yale. South Atlantic colleges are William and Mary, Davidson, Goucher, and John Hopkins. The Pacific region is represented by California lnstiute of Technology , Occidental, and Stanford. This listing is not complete , but it is intended .to give a fa irly accurate sample of the nations 92 most "competitive colleges." Volunteers Tutor Migrant Workers by Paula Eike A program for tutoring the children of migrant workers was initiated by students of the College this summer. Approximately 30 students participated in the program sponsored by the Wyoming Valley •. Council of Churches. Chairman of the program for the Council was Mrs. Leonard Tucker; Matthew Fliss, Student Government president, took charge for the College. The program extended from the second week in August to the beginning of this week, and most tutors taught two nights a week. The purpose of the program was to supplement the scanty education which the children received due to thei r migrant life. The tutors concentrated mainly on English, .·. rel!lding, spelling , and mathematics. The program prov ided the children with v al uable instruction in neglected areas, and , at the same time, gave the tutors field experience which would aid them in their major fields of study . It is hoped that the program will be continued and improved next y ear, and that more students will volunteer their time. �Page 2 WILKES WHAT'S NEW! This semester, more than any other in the College's history thus far, change is the dominant theme throughout the campus. So, in addition to the BEACON's usual welcomes and welcome backs, we would like to especially recognize some of the most important changes. The 600 ( or more) freshmen, the largest freshman class ever to come to Wilkes, are wandering around bewilderedly becoming acquainted with the campus. To you all, we extend a hearty welcome. May we extend the welcome to include the 27 new faculty members who have joined the campus community. The new cafeteria-dormitory, although not yet completed, will be a magnificent addition to the campus and another giant project completed in the College's building program. Also, when the new cafeteria is completed, the old one will become a combination cafeteria-student union. The Colltge has always had a need for a place for students (let's face it - especially the day hops) to go during their free hours. Student Government has ambitious plans this year, including a much-needed mass revision of rewriting of its constitution among other things. The basis of the projected actions is a desire on the part of Matt Fliss, its president, to raise SG from the position of insignificance which it has been allotted in years past. The AMNICOLA is being distributed earlier this year than last, thanks to a hard-working editorial staff. Our football team promises to be a winner again this year. We were pleased to see a crowded stadium at last Saturday's game and even more pleased to see our team beat East Stroudsburg. All indications point to another winning season. Perhaps a good team, something to be really excited about, is what the College has been needing to fight the mass apathy epidemic. Other sports have a promising season ahead also. Intramural sports are growing in numbers and popularity year by year, last year assuming importance by popular interest exceeded only by football and wrestling; participant interest is higher for intramurals than for others. These and many other changes are all indications of, reasons for, or pointers to a new atmosphere on campus, a lively one of participation and pride, rather than the apathetic (if this poor, overworked expression must be dragged out for use once more) one which has been limping around Wilkes for many years. The College has and always has had excellence; we are finally awakening to it and adding to it. COLLEGE BEACON WHO IS AFRAID OF BARRE HALL? by Helen Dugan With the many changes which occur on campus from term to term, a student tends to take the news of a change with blase consideration. So the tuition doubled and the music department has scheduled its tuba practice right next door to your speech class, and the new religion professor was struck by lightning, and the science requirement for econ majors has been raised to 16 credits - it's your senior year and you now have three. Such things can be expected and their occurence is thought of more as a stimulant than a depressant. But there are some things, though, that do sink in and grab on to that bare nerve During the summer, Allan Saidman, a senior psychology major, participated in one of the Peace Corps' advanced training programs, held at the University of Wisconsin, for ten weeks. Under the Kenya Agricultural Program in which he participated, Saidman received intensive training in Swahili. The language course he received was unique from one point of view. African teachers taught the course, in No, we do not believe all those underclassmen registering out of turn were all special students, special cases or even special. Rather we feel the heartbreak, the rejection of registration was due to the exultation of me over thee. No, we all can't live in a yellow submarine. Or, some students prefer not to stand and wait, prefer not to serve. In short, they refuse to interact decently with their fellow students. And why not? They don't want to be shut out of their courses. However, they refuse to consider the other students who did stand and wait and who were shut out of their courses because these underclassmen jumped their turn. We know all about the ugly, miserable world where nice guys are supposed to finish last. But when the universe ( in this instance, the administration) does make provision for the meek to inherit the earth, for the seniors to register first, we feel that AL SAIDMAN everyone should be so glad to see good prevail that no one ( except toads) would allow their anarchical drives to upset the which no grammar texts were establishment's provision for good living. We hope next semester's registration will be spared such used, and the students conversed in Swahili for approxibehavior. mately six hours a day.

The Heart of the Matter Some things do b r e a k through a student's land of Oz - like when a dormie hears that Bio. 101 is going to be held in his bedroom next semester. Of all the things that could possibly unnerve a student this is one of the most effective.

He will advise the people in obtaining loans from the government for equipment and managing the farms. Several summers ago, Saidman worked on an Israeli kibbutz for eight weeks. He stated that the experience he had there directly influenced him to join the agricultural program. To the question why did he join the Peace Corps, he stated , "There is a world outside of North America that few Americans have ever seen and I would like to experience more of this world. " pinned last week - right there in your bedroom. Then again, what are you doing in biology class with your pajamas on? Oh the frustrations! The changing of a dorm into a class building also involves another type of complication. Take Barre Hall - which they did. For years this has been a happy home for boys away from home. Some of its occupants have been staggering through those same doors for three years and are conditioned to seek its homey comfort after a late discussion in a neighborhood pub. Barre Bewildered But now, even though that dorm has been converted, a loyal student still seeking its friendly doors, is instinctively lured through its halls till he comes to rest on the nearest facsimile to a bed that is available . The next morning as the students flle into the building for classes, a hysterical cry is heard as a girl comes flying down the hall screaming something about a wretched body lying in the unremoved bathtub in the ladies' room. She is followed by a panic-stricken wretched body clutching a hot water spigot. And both go shrieking into the morning mist, never to be heard from again. But some say, on a quiet night when the moon is full, one can see a student wandering through the vacant rooms of Barre Hall looking for his dorm mates and for that one disflgured bathtub where he can find peace once more. SG Desires Significance by Carol Okrasinski At the recent Student Government meeting, Matt Fliss, president of the organization, not only stated his plans for the coming year but also presented the foundations for the Governments of future years. He believes that to the present Student Government the past Governments are now insigniflcant, and the future is of the greatest importance. The plans originated from the assumption that Student Government is nonmeaningful, and therefore a signiflcance must be attained. The end-point of this scope is not to attain meaning but to use this force to effect necessary reforms . Fliss holds that by increasing Student Government's signilkance, the College is shown that students are ready to play a more meaningful part in cur-riculum reform, are capable of sitting in judgment of their fellow students, and are extremely concerned with the welfare of the school. He suggests the use of a student judiciary and student senate for the purpose of clearly deflning the relationships among students. He feels that because students are not active, student freedoms are granted by the faculty and the administration; however, student freedoms should be granted by students through legislation. The College Troika He points out that within the communal situation, three parts form what is Wilkes - the faculty, the students, and the administration . " There is often much overlapping and certainly no clear delineation of function. All three learn from each other. We as students share equally the responsibility of the school. MATT FLISS Wise administrators and faculty throughout the country are realizing the fertility of the student mind and studying to channel it into such areas as curriculum reform and community oriented projects." Student Service " Applicability is a tremendously important part of the American system. Student Government is faced with proving its signiflcance." To do so, it has created new programs (Co ntinued on p age 4) �WILKES Friday, September 23, 1966 COLLEGE Page 3 BEACON Wilkes Delense 10 ESSC 0 by George Pawlush The Wilkes Colonels opened their 1966 grid season on a sweet note last Saturday vanquishing a highly-touted East Stroudsburg College Warrior squad 10-0. The Colonel victory snapped a Warrior 12 game winning streak and it definitely placed the Colonels as the small college team to beat in the east. The Warriors, under Coach Charley Reese, had a rough afternoon on the ground. only being able to muster 12 yards net rushing. The Warriors opened the game with a 45-yard pass completion, but a hard-nosed Wilkes defense stopped this drive before it became a potential danger. The defenses of both teams held sway until the end of the first quarter, when Colonel senior halfback Paul Purta boomed a 35-yard field goal. This was the end of the scoring until the end of the first half, when a Colonel drive s talled on the Warrior one-yard line. On a fourth down situation Colonel quarterback Rich Roshong, rolled back to pass, but was dropped by a tough Warrior linebacker on the 18. The Warriors took over and with 23 seconds left in the half, Jim Waite, E.S.S.C. quarterback, dropped back to pass. The ball was picked off by an alert Brinley Varchol and he brought the 5000 plus Colonel fans to their feet by scampering in for a touchdown.

Jay Ruckel presided at the junior class meeting held at the Fine Arts Center. The events for the year include the Sophomore-Junior Hayride which will be held tomorrow at the El Pocono Dude Ranch at a cost of $4 per couple; the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance which will be held at the Dorian Room of the Host Motel on November 5; and two dances, one of which will be held during Spring Weekend. Election for a junior Student Government representative is being held today. The students that were nominated are Bob Brown, Carroll Cobbs, Bob Giovanni, and Bob. Thompson. Plans are being made to adopt a Vietnamese child under the Foster Parents Plan; it will cost $180 per year for the care and education of the child, and he will be provided for until he reaches the age of eighteen. Dr. Bohning and Mr. Kanner talked about graduate schools and industrial opportunities. Dr. Bohning said that students who desire to attend graduate school are in great demand , and there is substantial assistance for them in the line of teaching and research fellowships . He recommended that the student choose a school that will fit his interests after he obtains his advanced degree, and that the student, especially in science, continue on for his doctorate and bypass the master 's degree. Mr. Kanner advised juniors to begin as soon as possible to look for acceptable schools. He advised those going for advanced degrees in the behavioral sciences to be aware that the theoretical orientation at various colleges and universities is vastly different. The senior class meeting was called to order by Harry Russin at the Christian Science Church. It was announced that the blood drive will begin on October 18. Senior pictures will be taken by Lazarus department store. There will be uniform dress for the pictures; the girls will wear black sweaters. A party has been tentatively planned for January 27. At the Jewish Community Center, Mike Clark, sophomore class president , called the meeting to order. Dr. Donald W . Tappa and Mr. Stanley S. Gutin, the class advisors, were introduced. Mr. Gutin remarked on the orderly fashion in which tribunal was handled. The newly elected Student Government representative, Ge.Qrge Pawlush, was introduced along with the new members of the Executive Council: Bernie Adonizio, Pat DeMeo, Rosalie Mizus, Ina George, Linda Kaplin, Dave Piatt, Bill Downey, Donna George, and Barbara Zawinski. Jean Marie Chapasko gave a Student Government report to the class. Carl Siracuse, co-chairman of Homecoming, described the various a c t i v i t i e s planned for that weekend. Paul Wender asked for the support of the sophomore class in the forthcoming blood drive . Mike Clark told the class of the plans for the sophomore class dance which will be held tonight at the Gym. The next sophomore class meeting will, be held on Tuesday, October 28, at 11 a .m. at the J.C .C. TBE A plan for revising the Student Government constitution was the main topic discussed at a recent meeting of SG. Matt Fliss, president, stressed the urgency of revision of the present constitution, unchanged for fifteen years, stating that the present constitution limits the powers of Student Government to a social level. A definite plan of revision was suggested to SG by Tom Engle, a student, who presented his ideas in a Master Plan. Engle 's purpose is to overcome student apathy and administrative control. He accomplishes hjs · goals through the organization of dubs and societies into suitable interest groups or blocks, and through the reorganization of SG. A temporary list of inherent blocks used strictly for explanatory purposes consisted of: the science block, behavioral science block, English block, music block, political science block, service block, and the miscellaneous block. Under each of these blocks, there would be from four to six clubs of similar interests. Each block could obtain speakers and go on field trips which would interest the whole group . This would save SG money, as they would not be giving out sums of money for club activities to each individual club, but instead to each interest block. Council of Presidents In order to fulfill the needs of each block, Engle feels there must be a reorganization of SG to include a committee composed of the presidents of each club or society. The purpose of Requested this "Council of Presidents" would be to further active participation in each club. The presidents of each block :ould meet regularly with SG and each block might be given a certain amount of votes in the Affairs General of Student Government. MATT FLISS Friday, October 7, 1966 UF CAMPUS CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF by Bruce Fritzges This year 's United Fund Campaign officially begins Monday with its goal set at $1.329,000. Committee members will be making a person-to-person canvass of all the College staff members. This year, 45 speakers have volunteered to carry the story of the United Fund to various meetings of business, labor, civic, fraternal and other community organizations. They will be available from now through the end of the campaign on October 27. A seven-minute campaign film may also be scheduled in conjunction with speaking engagements.

Droll Exemption Tesl Scheduled Scholarships The Chain Scholarship Foundation is presently awarding scholarships of up to $1,000 to needy college seniors. The requirements are a high enough average to merit a bachelor's degree, financial need, and plans to seek employment rather than do post-graduate work after graduation. After graduation, the students assume a moral. not a legal, obligation to aid future needy students. To apply for a Chain Scholarship, obtain an application from the college financial aid officer, or write directly to: The Chain Scholarship Foundation, P.O. Box 203 , Armonk, New York, 10504. Eligible students who intend to take the College Qualification Test on Nov ember 18 or 19 are urged to apply as soon as possible to the nearest Selective Service System local board for an application card and a bulletin of information for the test. FRESHMEN CUT UP AT IDC SKIT NITE by Chris Sulat The freshman class had its first opportunity to display high-quality humor at the annual Inter-Dormitory Council Skit Night recently. The men were divided according to the wings of the new dorm. The majority of the women's dorms were combined beIt is advisable for an applicant to cause of the small number of freshmail his application immediately in men in some of them. A total of 15 order to insure the affirmation of his skits was shown. desired test date and test center.

The same theme was used by two October 21 , 1966. other women 's dorms. To give impetus to the student to join these groups and pay raised dues, something must be offered to the student to activate his enthusiasm. Such an activator could be either: ( 1) a lecture series to appeal to each individual block and to the clubs contained within it; (2) a concert or cultural entertainment series for each block; (3) greater activity in local and state affairs; (4) an exchange program with professors at neighboring colleges, or any or all of these. Block Dances Engle adds that dances now held by individual clubs could be held by each block, giving each block more money to work with and thereby obtain a better band or orchestra. With the larger crowds that better name bands would draw, more profit could be made. Engle suggests that with this money SG could obtain good cultural entertainment and offer it to the student at lower prices. He feels the lower the cost per ticket, the more the profit~ and the more profit, the more programs. Thus each cultural event could pay for itself and for the next event. To increase student unity, an active A minimum estimate of about $500 campaign to increase club membership worth of coats and cash was stolen would be made by SG, the block from eleven students at Friday night's heads , and the council of presidents. dance. To better protect the students In order for each block to have from a recurrence of this incident, SG more money with which to work, each adopted a ruling whereby each club society would increase the dues per shall provide a coat check for a maxperson. An arbitrary amount would imum fee of ten cents per coat and SG will be responsible for the checked coats. If the club elects not to have a coat check, it will be held responsible for any personal property taken at the dance. BEACON Vol. XXVI, No. 3 be given to SG. Engle suggested ten percent. The winner in th e men 's division was the B Wing of the new dorm. Their skit took place in a mythical Bear City, and their list of characters included Tex Ralston , Itchy Cox, Dr. Hoover, Kitty Love, The King's Brothers, and chorus gi~ls. The monologues of th e ac_tors were supposed to be indicative of the persons they represented. The judges for Skit Night were Dean Ahlborn, Dean Ralston , Miss Millie Gittins, Mr. Art Hoover, and Geo rge Elliot. Bill Bush , vice-president of I.D.C., was master of ceremonies. In order for male students to gain admittance to Wilkes dances, ties and jackets were temporprily voted as the correct dress for dances. Students· are also reminded that there is-ii -no smoking rule in the gym proper, although smoking is permitted in __the lobby. Blood and Money Blood Donor D ay co-chairmen Rich May and Paul Wender have set Tuesday , October 18 as blood day. To encourage day -student participation on blood day , the circle K club will offer a trophy to the club that donates th e most blood. United Fund has set a goal of $1.329,000; Wilkes' goal is $8,000. $1,200 of which is to be obtained from the students. Jay Ruckel, this year's chairman, stated that with the exclusion of the dance profit, last year the average donation per student was less than $.01 each . Besides a personal request for money, containers will be found in the cafeteria and in the various buildings on campus. Kiwanians Bear Miller On Circle K Barry Miller, governor of the Circle K Club of Pennsylvania, .spoke to the Kiwanis convention held in WilkesBarre from Sunday, September 25 to Wednesday, September 28. Miller's speech, delivered on Tuesday, September 27, in the !rem Temple, dealt with the C ircle K Clubs' international theme-serve with purpose. The senior, majoring in commerce and finance, told how the College's Circle K Club served th e country by working with the United Nations, the Red C ross and the Crippled Children's Association. He stated that the club served through the exchanging of ideas with brother clubs in Canada. The Wilkes Circle K Club was started only five years ago; yet it has already taken a prominent position in leading the other clubs of the state, through such active members as Barry Miller. �WILKES Page 2 EDITORIALS ETERNAL VIGILANCE There are certain disturbances in a collegian's world (or anybody's for that matter) which simply cannot be tolerated. Like theft. Student Government reports that at the last dance over $500 worth of goods were stolen. Money, purses, and coats, particularly suede coats were among the chief items reported missing. On a college campus ( a place supposedly safe from the overt unpleasantness of the outside world) 'such a crime should not have occurred. We strongly feel that an adequate checking system is in order and would probably prevent a recurrence of the sad situation which arose from the senior class dance. WILL WE GET TOGETHER? United we stand, divided we fall, and heaven help us if it's true. The gap has grown wider between the dormitory and commuting students for the sake of efficiency and modernity. Granted, we needed a new cafeteria, but please note the we. It is not our intention to condemn or condone the separation as being necessary and unavoidable, since we believe that enough people have spent enough time considering the division, and have reached their conclusions. However, we would like to play campus oracle and attempt to predict the results of the separation. It is indeed optimistic to hope that the day and dorm students will seek one another out in other haunts, now that their main stamping ground has been restricted. But it is much more realistic to feel that the everpresent gap will widen a little, but we hope not a lot. But again being optimistic, we sincerely hope that our student leaders will recognize the problem which has arisen, and will increase their efforts toward student unity.

COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 7, 1966 Dalon on Mihailov, or Moscow Visit Recalled by Richard L. Dalon Several weeks ago, Dr. Vujica placed a book in my hand entitled Moscow Summer by Mihajlo Mihajlov. Both the book and the author were unfamiliar to me; and as I was anxious to become more acquainted with Yugoslavian authors, I began with a somewhat premature enthusiasm, which was to be subsequently justified. The book had additional significance to me since I recently returned from a sojourn to many of the communist countries; much of what Mihjalov speaks of. I have observed first hand. It should be noted that the book was not written without consequence to the author. Several days ago I read in the paper that Mihjalov had received a nine-month prison sentence and was removed from his position as professor of Slavic languages and literature at Zagreb University. His courage and determination as a fighter for the cause of freedom , be it literary, personal , or other, is certainly something of which the Yugoslavian people can be proud. The book was the result of a threemonth stay in Russia in 1964, at which time he had the opportunity to speak to the leading intellectuals, poets, novelists, playwrights. and critics of Russia. He was not a tourist but rather a part of a cultural exchange between the USSR and Yugoslavia. This made Mihajlov independent. "I was no one's 'guest', and had no need to lie about what I saw in gratitude for the hospitality shown me!" Therefore, what we have is an accurate, guileless report on what th~ outstanding contemporary minds of the Soviet Union are thinking. Keeping this in mind, let us turn to the book. Mihajlov says the literary mood in the summer of 1964 was the expectation of a final liberation of literature and arts from all possible restrictions of dogmatic Marxism. He points to the growing popularity of Kafka: "Many of the writers and critics with whom I spoke, especially those of the younger generation and the graduate students at the MGU (Moskovsky Gosudarstuenny Universitet) are literally crazy about Kafka." Kafka, I believe, has never inspired this sort of enthusiasm in America; perhaps because Americans are not as serious or melancholy, or dramatic as the Russians. Russian Literature Mihajlov mentions some of the young poets who are contributing most to Russian literature: Andrei Voznesensky, Evgeny Evtushenko, Bella Akhmadulina, Rimma Kazakova, Novella Matveeva, Una Merits, Viktor Sosnora - and by older poets as Evgeny Vinokurov, and Bulat Okudzhava. The group of young writers of the sixties includes Vladimir Tendryakov, Yury Kazakov, losif Dik, Pavel Nilin to mention only a few. I am afraid, however, that few american readers and even fewer students are familiar with many, if any, of these names. I was told that the paperback sales have tripled in the past two years, but I wonder what is being read and who is reading it. I can remember meeting George Seferis, winner of the 1963 Nobel prize for literature, while I was in Greece, and he began talking of some American students he had come in contact with. He said to me jokingly, but not without seriousness in his voice, with a wide smile on his thin lips, "Mr. Dalen, you know it's only luck if an American student knows who Homer is." We both laughed, but I'm sure he was closer to the truth than I cared to admit. Mihajlov then begins to discuss the conversations he had with some writers. They all seem to be optimistic about the rehabilitation of Russian literature. He spoke with Vladimir Dudintsev, author of the novel, NOT BY BREAD ALONE. Dudintsev lives a modest life. In order to survive he has to translate from Ukrainian, because - although in the USSR author 's fees are high - like so many "disobedient" writers he hardly manages to make ends meet. Disobedient writers' works are published in the smallest possible editions. Mihajlov relates, " that remembering all the noise from 1956, Dudintsev told me that his most important, his greatest experience was when people unknown to him , in a bus or in a subway, without looking him in the eyes, secretly squeezed his hand , 'For this, it's worthwhile to endure anything ,' 'he told me. " Mihajlov writes of the conversations with many other writers with the same frankness and ease that predominates the entire book. Russians In Song Mihajlov discusses folk songs which he heard the students singing at a MGU dormitory party. One can easily sense that he was deeply moved by these songs. "It was Russia speaking through them , the Russia we know from Tolstoy and Dostoevsky." Below I have included an example of one of these songs. It is not hard to understand why Mihajlov was touched, especially when hearing them sung by the youth of Russia: They finished me, the bastards, they finished me. They destroyed my youth, My golden hair has turned white, And I am on the edge of ruin. One of the most impressive chapters is entitled, "The Psychology of Homo Sovieticus." Mihajlov describes the characteristics of homo sovieticus as one who approves and accepts everything that is decided at the top with complete sincerity. He is naive, unthinking, and immature, in short what I call the "mass puppet." This type is a leftover from the Stalin regime. Who believes in the government and accepts its dogmatic value judgments. Revolutionary Youth The young people, however, are revolting against this kind of thinking. Mihajlov tells a joke popular among the younger generation. "Of course there will be no war, but we will fight so well that there will not be a stone left standing." One of the answers to this problem says Mihajlov, "is that the Soviet Union will have to de-Stalinize itself in much greater measure than it is doing now, or else the wheel of history will oome around again to Stalinism, and the whole period from 1956 will be proclaimed the work of 'traitors."' The government promises a higher standard of living. But as Mihajlov states, "this only apepals to the semiintelligentsia. the typically middle class. The young people ~ind the common people do not consjder material poverty the greatest misfortune. They are fighting for an idea, for a paradise on earth, and not for a high standard of living. Mihajlov leaves us with some optimistic conclusions at the end of the book regarding the future trend of the Soviet toward literature, etc. " Many changes wait the Soviet Union, a land culturally two decades behind Western Europe . . . The changes will be great and far-reaching. The more revolutionary among the younger generation will carry them out. As an appendix to the book, there is an invaluable biographical list including the names of many contemporary Russian writers with a brief biography and listing of their books available in English translation. This alone makes it a worthwhile reference book. Mihajlov has provided us with a huge magnifying glass with which to view modern Russia. The material is delightfully presented and is easily assimilated. The book is, of course, not without fault, but these are insignificant in view of the overall achievement, and I feel it picayune to point them out. No faculty member can afford to miss the opportunity of receiving this first-hand information on such a controversial country - and no student should. Some unjust attacks have been made against Mihajlov by David Binder of the New York Times to which Dr. Vujica has written an excellent letter in defense of Mihajlov. The letter in the paper's August 27 edition, and those interested will find it worthwhile reading. Others Gel Cuts; Stall Gels Praise which their dorms may have had in the past.

Wilkes Nips Moravian To Notch Third Win by George Pawlush The Colonels notched their third victory of the season last Saturday by virtue of a hard-fought 10-7 victory over the Moravian Greyhounds. Playing against two opponents, the weather and a scrappy Moravian squad, the Colonels again pulled off a hair-raising finish, with Paul Purta again coming through in the clutch. The Colonels scored the first tally of the rain-drenched game. With time running out in the first quarter the Wilkes men recovered a blocked Moravian punt on the opponents' 25 yard line. Short off-tackle runs by Purt•. Ray Lowery and Lee Namey move9 the ball down to the seven, where Namey sprinted in for his first collegiate touchdown. Purta's placement was good and the Colonels held a 7-0 lead. The Colonel defense kept Moravian in tow until late in the second quarter when Moravian quarterback Greg Seifert fired a 56-yard pass to flankerback Bill Dry. The ball was partially deflected into Dry's hands by a Colonel defender. Dry was caught from behind on the six-yard line. Two plays later, Greyhound fullback Hank Nehilla crashed into paydirt from the three. Neither team was able to move in the third quarter as the wet, muddy field seemed to hamper both squads. ooa□oooooooooo □ooCXJ□□oooooocooCOCJOOClOOOO□OOCOOCXJ 000000 □□00□0000000□00000000000000000000000000000 BOOK &CARD THE HAYLOFT MART A comp:ete Sportswear Department 10 S.

The fumble had been set up by a jarring tackle by Colonel defensive ace, Al Yatko. The Wilkes men were only able to gather five yards in the next three plays. The stage was now set for the talented toe of Purta. With the elements against him, Purta split the uprights with a 23-yard field goal , which proved to be th e decisive factor of the game. As th e final gun sounded , the Colonels had again climbed a notch closer to their second MAC Championship. Sparkling the Colonels' offensive punch was former Pennsylvania AllStater, Lee Namey. Namey, starting his first collegiate game, amassed 102 yards on 19 carries. This was high lighted by two break-away runs of 35 and 23 yards. Facing a tough veteran Greyhound defensive unit, the Colonel offensive line showed great precision, opening up huge gaps in the Moravian forward wall. Standing out on defense were Al Yatko, Joe Wi endl, Bill Layden, and Brin Varchol. In the contest Varchol intercepted his fourth pass of the season. The Colonel defense limited Moravian to 57 yards rushing while th e Colonels racked up 173 yards. oooo□oo□ooooo□□□oo□oco□oo□oo□□oooooooo □□o□□□□□oo Headquarters for Lettered WILKES JACKETS LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER Wisdom is the power to put our knowledge and our time to proper use.

JOE KIEFER Boolers Drop Second To Moravian Squad by Bill Bush The Wilkes boaters eager for a victory after their loss to FDU-Madison traveled to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to face a seasoned Moravian team, but they came out on the short end of a 3-2 score. Joe Kiefe r, leading scorer for the Colonels, opened up early in the first period with a score. Then neither team was able to score until Moravian broke through the Wilkes defense just before the end of the first half. During the third quarter Wilkes penetrated the Moravian backfield for another tally , making the score 2-1 in favor of Wilkes.

ECAC Names Varchol l'or Defensive Work by Bob Thompson Brinley Varchol , colonel linebacker, was named to the E .C.A.C . All-East team for the week of Sept. 26 for his outstanding defensive work against Lebanon Valley. In that game Varchol intercepted his third pass of th e season ending a Dutchman scoring threat. He also made several key tackles in the contest. The E.C.A.C. (Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference) is an organization of nearly I 00 eastern colleges. Although there is no league competition, the E.C.A.C. selects weekly all star teams ( University and College division) and an All-Star team for the year. The Colonels participate in the Middle Atlantic Conference Northern College Division of which they are champions. The weekly all stars are selected in the following manner. The teams nominate three players from each team in a contest and tell why this person was selected. The names are then sent to the E.C.A.C. headquarters who select the final eleven from approximately 250 nominees. Varchol is a Junior Math major from Hanover Township. H e participated in football and wrestling there. This is Varchol's third year on BRINLEY VARCHOL the football squad. Last year he landed an E .C.A.C. berth twice.

He went on, "For example, they love good wine and have an emotional awareness of aesthetic beauty, " and he excitedly explained, "They were willing to sacrifice their lives just to build NotreDame for its aesthetic beauty." Still discussing the French character, he continued. "A Frenchman can be as poor as a churchmouse, not have two cars, and still be happy ; for he is happy with what ·he has , and he knows how to make · the best of his situation." Mr. · Nitchie so far has had a very positive reaction to the College. He is rather impressed by the intelligence of the students, their eagerness to learn, and their friendliness .

After many years of working with an oral and informal dance policy, Philharmonic Gives Students Special Rate by Barbara Simms Mrs. William Gutman, president of the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic, has announced that this year a special re• duced price for season tickets is available to students at the College. The tickets, offered at a great reduction from the usual price, cost $2 and may be obtained at the Bookstore. Four programs will be offered during the season, the first on November 7 including "Overture to the Bartered Bride" by Smetana, Mozart's " Musical joke", and the "Pelleas and Melisande Suite" of Sibelius. On January 16, the orchestra will present a concert of contemporary artists. The March 6 program of concertos will include a jazz group. These programs will be presented at the lrem Temple at 8:30. The fourth program, a pops concert to be held on April 16, is still in the early stages of planning. The orchestra, which was originally called the Wilkes College Orchestra, was fostered by the College and later became independent. According to Mrs. Gutman, one of its prime purposes is to bring culture within easy reach of youth. In past years not enough young people have shown an interest, and for this reason the special student tickets have been offered. •••••••••••••••••••••••• BEAT URSINUS •••••••••••••••••••••••• Andrew Palencar is in charge of set desi gn, Robert Niznik, choreography ; Richard Chapline, vocal and chorus director; and Herbert Garber is orchestra director.

NPET A is governed by a Board of Directors composed of fifty men and women from various areas in northeastern Pennsylvania. The station has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission as a broadcast service and broadcast center under the Pennsylvania State Plan for Educational Television. WVIA-TV has offices located in Wilkes-Barre. During the first year of telecasting, all operations will originate at the transmitter site, Penobscot Knob , Mountaintop, Pennsylvania. Studios and office space are presently under construction at Marywood College in Scranton. Channel 44 is a non-commercial. non-profit broadcast service. The primary source of fund s is the support given by participating school districts. In addition, funds are allocated by county governments, colleges and universities, businesses and industries, the state government , and individuals.

Study Group Gives Report The Academic Integrity Committee is a student-faculty-administration study group which was established a year ago for the purpose of analyzing existing conditions and anticipating possible changes in the relationships of all segments of the College community. The initial report of this committee concerns itself with the extent to which students have accepted the responsibility for setting their own standards in other colleges and universities. This report was made available to the faculty for their information during September of 1966. On October 20, a student assembly will be held at which the general purposes and concepts of the Committee will be explained to the student body. The committee report on student relationships will be presented at that time as a basis for a more extensive consideration by each member of the Dr. Reif, of the biology department , student body. This presentation will assures everyone that a pint can be be a preliminary to extensive open committee hearings to be held on this given by anyone with no ill effects. question in the current academic year. Last year the goal was set at 300 pints. The Red Cross is hoping for even more this year. The students are asked to help make this year's drive a success.

Clubs Sponsor Dunce �WILKES Page 2 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 14, 1966 EDITORIALS Significance In certain circles, to be apathetic at this college is to be un-Wilkes, is to be the man without the wedding garmentthere, but unwilling to partake of the joys of college life. But when one group considers apathy at this . i~llege, that group should be aware of what others consider the meaning of college life. The oft-maligned apathetic circle evidently considers campus activities as not very significant in the light of eternity. And who can BLAME them? These students are serious; they conceive of college as a place of devotion to scholarship, a place where singleminded preoccupation with the acquisition of knowledge is not to be sidetracked by who's running in the fourth race for class treasurer. Therefore, if a cerh~in percentage of the student body refuses to leave academic p~rsuits to socialize in other ways than weekend dances and drinking, why bother to cajole them into extracurricular activities? Better yet, don't bother them; it is, after all, their inalienable right to alienate themselves from extracurricular activities. Now that we have tried to come to some understanding of why indifference is present on this campus, we do not wish to give the impression that we condone apathy. Estrangement can seriously be entertained as a mortal sin, for estrangement is generally wrong. But every man has the right to be selective of what he chooses to associate himself with. And if our apathetic students see extracurricular activities as nonsense, or worse yet, as an extension of high school rah-rah, they cannot be considered reprehensible. Certain organizations on this campus are, in truth, not worth a student's time. Is it necessary, therefore, that SG, which is, by the bye, struggling with its search for meaning as an organization other than social, make apathy the very cornerstone of its policy for this year? Why should it feel that it must proselytize among the undoers, must convert indifferent students? Cannot both camps co-exist peacefully? Cannot apathetic students be free of this constant tugging to action since they so obviously choose to be alone? For the sake of those indifferent groups who are being threatened by the big brother policies of the master plan being put forth to SG, we strongly urge all active students and those apathetic groups (who may find, after all, Mr. Engle's proposals significant in their light of eternity) to express their disapproval and non-support of same.

Is us Policy Realistic? by Lewis M. Chere We are steeped in the idea of spreading the blessings and freedoms of democracy to all those countries of the world which we consider deprived of them. But the Soviets would have their people believe that they are striving to spread the blessings of Communism to those who are oppressed by the capitalist imperialists of the West, and we must admit that if Y:e study the doctrines of pure Communism there is nothing more idealistic than the world where each man produces to his ability and receives according to his needs. You would be justified in saying that this is an unrealistic, unattainable dream wihch the communists cannot hope to fulfill; they have been totally unsuccessful in their own country let alone spreading it elsewhere. You must also admit that there is nothing inherently evil in the dream only in the way in which they have attempted to fullfill it, but are they any more evil then those who would torture and kill another human because he does not believe in the same religious dogma and is therefore by their belief in danger of losing his soul? Who has right on his side? The object of the above statement is to point out to those who are willing to admit the truth contained in them that while we attempt to clothe our international actions in righteous idealism, we are no more the sole proprietors of truth than were the church fathers who tried to force Galileo to recant his belies concerning the solar system. It is time that the United States grew up in the world of international affairs and realized, that those things which we hold dear are not the universal goals as we would have the world believe nor are they our true motives. Perhaps the best e:xample of how this ideological fog has lead us astray is the present conflict in Vietnam. The Vietnamese people do not care who governs them so long as they can have peace. For the last twenty-six years the people of Southeast Asia have lived in a world of constant war which has brought nothing but poverty and hardship to a traditionally peace loving people. The long wars have sapped them of their ancient desire for independence which for two thousand years continually drove the Chinese conquerers back into China. We claim to be attempting to bring them the benefits of democracy and freedom, but in attempting to do so we have raised an entire .generation of Vietnamese who have known nnthing but war, and for what? These people have no idea of l.ette,-,J t, tl,e ~4it,,- Mott Fliss Explains Dear Editor: Last week's Beacon contained a strikingly accurate report of the Engle Plan to Student Government. To those involved go my thanks for such accurate reporting. However, the nature of the plan does not demand immediate attention as was implied by the article. Mr. Engle is but one of the invited speakers who throughout the vear shall discuss what they belive the problems of SG to be and their own valuable solution based on personal experience. Such plans will after much erasing, decimating, and amalgamating be incorporated into a Master Plan. This shall come only after many weeks of thought. It would be a contortion of unstated facts, which amount to a distortion of stated truth, to suppose that Mr. Engle's plan will be adopted in toto and in the near future . I interpret the necessity of overcoming "administrative control" only so that an autonmous cultural program may be es ta b 1 is he d . The "control" which so many people speak of is actually in many cases an expression of individual concern and administrative explanation which is generally solicited by SG. Without such "control" and advice SG would prove to be a nonfeasible economic unit and also a rather meaningless attempt for an individual student to realize throu~h his scanty four year knowledge of the institution, problems which have greater scope than a four-year stay on campus allows comprehension of, viz: economic interconnection with the community. Again my thanks for a valid rendering of a difficult topic. Matt Fliss Dear Editor: Concerning the letter published in last week's Beacon which brought up the issue of the distasteful behavior of the women's dormitories on Skit Night, we would like to bring attention to the performance of the women in Sturdevant Hall. The writer seemed to have forgotten that we presented a clean, humorous and organized interpretation of "Happiness Is." We resented being included in the show of poor taste which a majority of the other dorms presented. Without resorting to vulgarity, which would have degraded the name of Sturdevant Hall, we still managed to win the trophy. We are glad the judges recognized good taste, and we are proud to have won the trophy and we accept the honor it brings. Sincerely, The Freshmen Women of Sturdevant Hall what democracy is. They respect __only that government. which maintains control and can protect them. They voted September 17 because the government with the most immediate control was not that of the VC but that of Saigon with its American allies. In a situation like this how could we have deluded ourselves into believing that we are acting in the best interests of the Vietnamese people when ·aaily hundreds of them die for a cause they neither understand nor care about. The time has come for us to admit are acting in no one's best interest but our own. The struggle in Vietnam is not a struggle for the right of the Vietnamese to decide for themselves what type of government they wish to have but a struggle between the ideology of the West and that of the communist world as here represented by the Red Chinese with the Soviets as an unwilling partner. The entire struggle is nothing more than another attempt by the overcrowded Chinese to expand into the rice bowl of Southeast Asia. But this time because the Chinese are Communist and have vowed to do· away with capitalism we feel that it is our duty to prevent them from gaining any more ground in the world struggle which is exactly what the aquisition of Vietnam would be and in which we are entirely justified if we admit it is in our own interests, for it is a fact that, in China, Communism was accepted by a war weary people who saw in it a chance for law and order. Under the present situation it has not been their war since Ho Chi Minh ordered his guerillas into the South in 1959. Thus we have a war in which two countries are supposedly fighting for control of the one, but a war neither could support without outside assistance which they are getting from the U.S. and the Communists. Had the ffreat peace loving powers and their respective allies really desired peace, as they all claim to, they would have stepped between the two combatants and allowed the one to prove its allegation that the war was really a civil one in which they were only assisting the rebels fight off an imperialist regime. we Dear Editor, The sophomore class would like to thank all the students who made thfir annual dance last Friday a huge success.

But the defeat of one side by the other involves an admission by one that it was wrong for the battle between ideologies carries the connotation that that side which is defeated is the one with the faulty ideological premise. The upheavels going on in China over the last few months show the lengths to which they are willing to go in order to prove that the ideology of Mao is not at fault for the troubles of China and the failure of Communism. It is our decision as to whether we are willing to carry the war to the only end which the Chinese will accept in their present state of dogmatism the total defeat of one or the (Continued on page 4) (Continued on page 4) ------------ �Friday, October 14, 1966 WILKES BULLETIN BOARD The Amnicola staff requests that seniors stop at the Amnicola office, Cony ngham 109, to pick up information concerning senior portraits and subscriptions.

Dr. Wilms Cites Effects of LSD Ed.'s Note: This article was taken from the National Collegiate Weekly. LSD , the controversial drug which sends users on an eight hour " trip " through a twisted realm of sensual and mental perceptions , has been labeled " truly dangerous," by Dr. John H . Wilms of the Purdue Student Health C enter. Dr. Wilms said that one -third of the total uncontrolled use of the drug eventually resulted in disastrous reactions." He called the hallucinogen the most dangerous drug problem facing the nation's college community. Dr. Wilms asserted that education of the public in regards to the effect and probable consequences of the use of LSD was a necessary course of action in checking the increasing problem . H e said the problem could nev er be entirely solved, but at least could be substantially reduced. The drug is extremely accessable and in fact is easily produced in the home laboratory . Such an accessable drug could not be effectively controlled without drug education and public support, he said . Timothy Leary, dismissed from Harvard for his experiments with hallucination drugs, stated concerning the use of LSD by college students, that "the growth has been staggerin.g.'' Leary advocated legislation to prevent the misuse of the drug, but still permit responsible adults to experiment. He contended that while the visionproducing effects of the drugs are terrifying to the older generation, to the young people, they meant "opening the mind , sensual enhancement, and awareness of religion , possibly ." According to one doctor, a major stimulus in the use of LSD by college students is an inert desire to "escape social pressure" and " modern-day responsibilities." The senates of three states have passed legislation aimed at controlling the sale , distribution and possession of hallucinogenic d r u g s , particularly LSD. The states - N ew York , California , and Michigan - are the firs t to introduce such legislation and appear to have an excellent chance of seeing the bills become law. Those students teaching in elementary schools are: Elaine Barbini, Helen Baron, Janie Black, Regina Belden, Howard Gola , Roberta Gregory, Judy Noyl e, Joan Palincar, Bill George , Paul Purta, Judy Rudko, Cynthia Yarrish , and Dianne Wynne.

If we continue to believe that we are fiqhting to bring the blessings of democracy to the peoples of the- world and if we continue to refuse to believe that it is our own self interest for which we are fighting, I do not think that the necessary decisions can be, or will be, made. At this moment the greatest threat to the world peace is the Peoples Republic of China and at this moment even the Soviet Union recognizes the fact that the only way presently open to the world to neutralize that threat is to destroy it before it destroys the world. Only a nation which can see things as they are and not as they would have them be can take the necessary action, and a nation befoqged with id~alism of any kind regarding world affairs cannot see things as they are.

The Colonels will be going against Ursinus in a Parents' Day game, and once again a capacity crowd is expected to fill Ralston Field. Prior to last season, overfiowing crowds were the least of Wilkes' worries, but success breeds crowds (regardless of what you've learned in Biology IOI) and these people must sit somewhere. It has come to our attention that the seating capacity of Ralston Field is less than that of many high school stadiums in the area. Wyoming Valley is known throughout the nation as one of the greatest producers of collegiate and professional football players. It seems a shame that the only college in the valley with a football team has a stadium with such limited capacity . To go along with our rejuvenated athletic program, perhaps plans could be made to alleviate this problem. Of course all of this is based on the assumption that Wilkes will continue with its fine athletic program which has brought such · remarkable results in such a short time. Colonels Offense Lately much attention has been paid to the fact that the Colonels' football team has been winning by the narrowest of margins, but the important thing is that we are winning. It must be remembered that at this point last year, the Colonels' record stood at 3-1. It must also be remembered that the Colonels' opponents are no longer expecting an easy victory; instead they are pointing to the Wilkes' game as the highlite of the season. No longer are the Colonels' opponents scheduling us for Parents' Day and Homecoming contests so that the home crowd can see their team trounce Wilkes. They were surprised last year and do not want a repetition. The Colonels' lack of scoring punch can be attributed in part to the fact that they had so little time to work 0 :1 their offensive game before the season opened; however , it is now mid-season and it should be rounding into form. The big surprise this year is the trouble the Colonels have been having with the quarterback slot. If someone had asked at the end of last season which spot would have been considered most secure, the quarterback position would have been picked. However, as racing fans know , things do not always hold true to form . Above is Joe Kiefer on the attack against Harpur College last Tuesday. Kiefer scored two of the Colonels 8 goals in their triumph over Harpur. it was the hooters second victory of the year and 8 g :J:$ ~:! a n,;,, school scoring record.

The Aggies held the Colonels to only four firs t downs but a Zakowski aerial spelled the difference. The scoring play came about midway in the third quarter with the Colonels holding possession of the pigskin on their own 40 yard line. With a second and ten situation, Zakowski hit end Joe Skvarla at midfield, on a down and out pattern. From there Skvarla outdistanced three defenders to give the Wilkesmen the only counter of the game. The first half was played on eq ual terms w ith neither squad being able to accelerate a running or passing attack. Twice in the first half the Colonels got within field goal range but both attempts for the three pointer were short. Late in the second quarter, Starting quarterback R'ch Roshong runs into a host of Delaware Valley tacklers after quarterback Rich Roshong nearly got breaking through the center of the line for a short gain.

Latest Wilkes Slats Show rine Defense by Bob Thompson In reaching the half-way point of the season last week , with a 4-0 record , the Colonels amassed some interesting statistics. So far the defense has been the outstanding feature. Although the Colonels have scored only 40 points, th e opposition has tallied a scan t 14. The most yards were gained against Wilkes through the air, 296, as compared to 222 yards rushing . Even so, the opposition is only completing passes at a rate of .333. It seems when their backs are against the wall, they operate best in that no touchdowns were scored via the airways and the Colonels have intercepted a total of ten passes. On the ground , the defense has held its opponents to 1.3 yards rushing per play. The offense has not been particularly overwhelming but did manage to come through with enough to win (barely). The Colonels gained a total of 720 yards , 525 on th e ground and 185 in the air, on five of twenty-five passes. Two of thes e were for touchdowns. The Colonels have managed thirty-five first downs to thirty-two for the opponents, showi ng that th e Colonels have had few long , sustained drives. Some of th e outstanding individual statistics are Brinley Varchol's four pass interceptions a nd Paul Kane"s three. In rushing, Purta leads with 132 yards in 38 carries, Namey gained 115 yards in 24 carries, and Lowery 11 3 yards in 45 carries. Tota l offense leader is Joe Zakowski who accounted for 162 yards in ten plays. Staake has punted 30 times for 954 yards for an average of 31.8 yards, w hile Purta 's kick-offs average 46.5 yards ( ten for 465 yards) .

But a change of quarterbacks by Delaware Valley, plus a se ries of successful running a nd pass plays brought the ball deep in Colonel territory , wi th four minutes remaining in the contest the Aggies had the ball, first and ten on the Wilkes ten ya rd line. Three straight pass plays brought the ball down to the three, but an alert P . J. Kane stymied the Aggie rally , by picking off a Ron Timko pass. This proved to be the decisi,;ie defensive play of the game as the Colonels' end, Joe Skvarla scampers for the on:y touchdown of the game after receiving a short pass from quarterback Joe Z:'.:Jwski. The third quarter pass was the second touchdown pass of the year for the quarterback and both were the winning margin. C olonels held the Aggies in sway for the remainder of the game. As the gun sounded the Colonels had van quished their fourth opponent of th e year. The Colonel defense again meant th e difference between victory and defeat. Th e Wilkesmen held the Aggies to only 88 yards passing and put the damper on Timko"s passing strea k. In three games preceeding , Timko had accumulated over 500 yards through the airlanes, but the Wilkes secondary held him to only seven completions. Four of his passes were intercepted with Kane pilfering three of them. Zakowski made it two for two as he completed his second pass for his second touchdown of the year.

Republicons YD's Meet Aid Shuler RFK, Shopp On Compos Dr. Dev Speaks To Local Group Tutors Needed In YWCA Plan by Joyce Lennon Amid a clear autumn setting, approximately 600 parents took part in the activities of the Fourth Annual Parents' Day. Co-chairmen for the affair Matt Fliss and Wayne Yetter co-ordinated a well-rounded program to provide parents with a look at the activities, faculty and atmosphere of the College. During the morning registration period, tours of the campus were conducted by members of Circle K and Theta Delta Rho. Members of the b t"er organization also provided large yellow chrysanthemums for t h e mothers of the students. At 10:30 a.m. the sports-minded parents and friends had an opportunity to attend the soccer game against Lycoming. The team made a fine showing for the visitors by securing a 5-1 victory over Lycoming . At 11 :00 a.m., Fliss and Yetter led a seminar for the guests, on "Student Adjustment to New Experience." Fliss emphasized that parents should not be surprised that their children exhibit changes after entering college, but they must expect a change because "change is essential to knowledge." Using Thomas Carlyle's idea of college as a vicarious experience of culttire, he advised the parents to realize that assimilating such a variety and range of cultural experiences in the college years naturally produces some degree of confusion and upheavel in a student. Fliss reported that although the attendance at the seminar was not large, the response of the participants was good. Also di scussed was the changing image of Wilkes from a community college to a small college as part of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Parents gathered in the gymnasium at noon for an informal buffet luncheon after which they heard an address by Dr. Eugene Farley. A capacity crowd of parents, students, and friends was pre-sent to witness a powerful Wilkes team gain a 24-0 victory over Ursinus at the football game in Ralston Field at 2 p.m. The team provided the spectators with the thrill of seeing the fifth victory in another winning streak for the Colonels. Following the game, several of the dorms held teas for the visiting parents. In order for parents and students to have time together, there was no planned program for dinner. The day culminated in a musical concert at the gym in the evening. The Wilkes Band presented a program of selections including "An American in Paris. " Solos by several members were included among the numbers performed by the Collegians, and the Ethno-musicology Society pr_esented a Folk Festival featuring the Brandywine Trio, Les Jongleurs , The Village Outcasts, and Sabra and Judy . Fliss and Yetter were pleased with the attendance and cooperation involved in making the day a success and Fliss extended thanks to everyone concerned. Quota Upped As Ur Drive Begins by Patsy Moir The annual United Fund drive has begun at the College under the direction of Mr. Arthur Hoover and junior representative Jay Ruckel. Last year the College donated $7,079 to the campaign to fulfill its original quota of $7,000. This amounted to an approximate donation of 40 cents per student. The 1966-67 campaign has increased its quota at the College to $8,000 because of the increase in faculty mem bers and students. The students will be expected to contribute $2,500 of the total sum . This means that each student should donate a little more than $ I to meet the quota. The freshman class is doing its share by holding a dance, Friday, October 21, in the gymnasium. All proceeds from the dance will be given to the l'acully Exhibits Last Sunday evening marked the beginning of the Faculty Art Exhibition which is scheduled to run through October 29. For this show each member of the art department has submitted at least five works done in a variety of media. The exhibition features graphics, lithograph , rubbings, and drawings in addition to oils, water colors, acrylics, and collages. Mr. Evangelista diverged from these "usual" media to present some works in construction, the most striking of which were his compositions "Snow" and "Forest." Some work from each of the contributing faculty artists has been purchased by the College to hang in campus buildings. United Fund drive. The Inter-dormitory Council and the executive council members will be responsible for making sure that all dorm students and day students, respectively, give their fair share. Individual letters have been sent to all students stressing th e fact that students should give generously since it is their community and their college. The community coqtributes to the welfare of the college and the students in return should contribute to the welfare of the community, the letter states. Sunday Set As UN Day United Nations' Day will be held this year on October 23, from 3 p .m. to 5 p .m. in the Fine Arts Center. All week long the local UN Association has been delivering the message of the work of the UN throughout the Valley. The activities will culminate on Sunday with the United Nations concert. Those performing in the concert are the College Chorus, the College Concert Band, Kings' College Glee Club, Wilkes-Barre Ballet Guild, Young Musicians Guild of Scranton , Penn's Woods Girl Scouts Council, and foreign students of the local colleges and high schools who are being sponsored by the Rotary. President of the Wyoming Valley United Nations Association is Mrs. Carl N . Brown, and trustee of the College, Miss Annette Evans, is the general chairman of the affair. Mr. Al Groh has also been active in the project. �WILKES Page 2 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 21, 1966 EDITORIAL Jl<C J,1-u,n There have been, no doubt, complaints made about the U.S. Withdraw Troops compulsory weekly assembly since its inception at the College. A Consideration And, we suppose, through the years attempts have been made to by Lewis Zalot change and improve the situation. But s·nce the assembly setup is still the same it is obvious that those attempts were unsatisAlthough the present American adfactory solutions and were abondoned. The present system is ministration previously announced its still unsatisfactory, however, and we feel it is time to re-examine intention of maintaining five American divisions and supporting logistical the problem. There are two guiding principles behind the assembly policy. Ideally it should broaden a student's cultural horizons, just as a broad program of basic required courses broadens his intellectual horizons. It should also serve as a reminder to the student, as he sees his fellow students assembled, that he is part of this College. Now let's ,consider the situation and see whether the present system succeeds in fulfilling its own goals. First, certainly the students are grouped togther in a body every week, excluding those who are excused because 11 a.m. is their only free period and opportunity to eat lunch on Thursdays, those day students who have no classes scheduled on Thursdays, those who work at that hour, and those who cut, either habitually or because a certain program does not interest them. The remaining students attend and generally ( although not always) either study, sleep, or stare out the windows. No sense of group solidarity can be shared unless it is through a student's sharing of his fellow students' ennui. units in Europe as necessary for preventing Communist aggression and proving our committment to maintain a free western Europe, the war in Southeast Asia has now forced the administration to decide between an increased mobilization of U.S. forces or lessening of tensions in Europe and a withdrawal of some of the forces previously committed to NATO. Because of the substantial land and air forces committed on the opposite sides of the earth by the U .S., any new crisis occurring in Cuba, the Congo, or the Near East would require the call up of the Air National Guard and Army Reserves. Any inerase in the draft or mobilization of the Reserves and industry would obviously increase chances of already threatening inflation. The other alternative would be to try to "warm up" relations between trying to balance the occupational cost the Wes tern Alliances and the Communist Eastern block resulting in a decrease of tension and likelihood of conflict. Because of growing internal economic problems, the Soviet Union and Satellite Nations would probably welcome trade with the West. (Italy has already agreed to build a Fiat car factory in the Soviet Union with the help of the American machine ingness to do so.) The Soviets would tools.) The Soviets would also like to use some of the troops tied down on Eastern European occupation duty elsewhere, namely in the Mongolian and Siberian frontiers to guard against a Red Chinese invasion. The United States and Great Brita in would no longer have to worry abo · '. the gold drain , while Germany woul.l not have to strain its economy by by extensive buying of unneccessary equipment from abroad. The Soviet Union would no longer have to fear a western controlled Germany, nor would the other nations have to worry about possible surprise Communist invasions. It seems that France has already taken steps to secure friendly relations and trade agreements. ' Eastern Independence The Eastern European natiom would tend to be more independent and willing to trade when Sovie t forces no longer occupy their land. (Rumania has already shown its willcertainly not become an open ally of the West, but they would be friendlier with nations trading with them. especially since the break with Red China, is continually widening. If an agreement could be arranged with the Soviets for a reunified neu tral non-nuclear Germany having similar status and power as Sweden now has, all except a small number of The resulting withdrawal of AmeriBritish, American, and Soviet observational troops could be safely removed. can troops would give this country more than enough men for training recruits and fulfilling our needs in Asia, while helping our economy and re ducing strain with the Soviet. Secondly, are the assemblies culturally broadening? Their subject matter covers a broad range, to be sure, but the generally poor quality of programming negates almost any positive good that might come out of these programs. There are excepby Leona Sokash Locker Room Joke tions, such as next week's discussion on LSD, but on the whole they are dull and uninteresting to all except those whose ranges Afte r titles of various current films King 's College recently invited of interest lie in the topic of a particular program.

She termed and they are not even swallowing that. Pauline loel Gives Ideas The Assembly Committee, in view of the fact that it must arrange for approximately twenty-five programs per year, does an admirable job on a limited budget. But still assemblies are boring, and since they do not succeed in promoting a feeling of group solidarity, either, they have failed in ~heir purposes. Why? What can be done? This is the crux of the problem - .uo many assemblies for too many people of widely divergent fields of interest (from business to science to the fine arts) on too little money. Presuming that we want to stand by our original goals, we can do a number of things. We could pay thousands of dollars for dynamic speakers or fine repertory groups for weekly programs. But Wilkes is a small and growing College, and what limited funds are available are needed elsewhere. So why__not use what money is available on fewer assemblies, bi-weekly or even monthly? Then arrange to have programs of better quality and of more general interest, so that although attendance would still be compulsory, interest would be so great that cuts would cease to be a problem. For example, a chance to hear a pops concert by the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic would be culturally uplifting and interesting at the same time. A secondary benefit, which fits in nicely with one of the main purposes of assembly, is that a group feels more like a group after having shared a pleasant experience. The answer lies in providing a majority of the student body with basically attractive program matter within the limits available to the College. Then cultural broadening and its attendant benefits will come of themselves. WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Editor-In-Chief ........ . ..... Barbara Simm s News Editor ............

Miss Kael began her lecture by discussing in general terms the cineJlla itself. She feels that movies are the only area in the arts ( if they are considered part of the arts) where there is nothing tragic about a parb ~ piant being unable to understand the message or the theme. On the other hand, she explained that ignorance in the theater, in literature, in music is considered reprehensible. "The Loved One" badly made, overemphatic in its point, and rather like a "boys' locker room joke." Therefore, I proposed that th e United States give up the obsolete idea of maintaining substantial force s in every corner of the world, especially since our present threats have shifted to Southeastern Asia. Even the United States is limited in the amount of economic strain it can sustain in a condition somewhere between peace time and open war. As Frederick the Great once said, "He who would defend everything would in fact defend nothing." Unlike most other film critics, she rather liked "The Bible ." She thought the fi'm especially laudatory in its treatment of Genesis as a series of primitive, tribal tales. Miss Kael felt that such a treatment gives rise to the film's power, and also described it as the "best spectacle since 'LawrShe went on to say that seeing the ence of Arabia.'

Coach Rollie Schmidt made it no contest as he emptied his entire bench in the fourth quarter. The Colonels ran off 79 plays to 44 for the Bears. The Colonel defense limited Ursinus to only 46 net yards gained, with 25 of these yards coming as a result of pass completions. The Colonels' total offensive machine registered 275 yards and looked like the great Wilkes team of last year. The first Colonel score came late in the first quarter. With a third down and long yardage situation on the Ursinus 33-yard line, Rich Roshong hit Joe Skarvla with a pass, and the lanky sophomore got down to the eight before being swarmed under by Ursinus defenders. Two plays later Doug Ford spurted into the end zone untouched to give the Schmidtmen a 6-0 lead. Purta 's boot placement was good and the Colonels led by seven points.

But because a nul]lber of the inmates already possessed liigh school diplomas, a few college courses were added to the curriculum. S~rne of the students participating in the · program are Lou Warne, Joel Sher, ~ill Perrego, Dick Cook, and Dusty Miller. The program has been not~bly, successful. Several high-school equ1valency diplomas were granted to the·, inmates after they passed a state exa~ination. Contrary to popular belief, the intelligence of the prisoners is extremely high. The teachers can go the prison as many times a week as. '.they wish. The classes, which are botjl' group or private, are usually two hours long. T~e courses are voluntary for the inmates. The size of classes varies fr9m week to week although most of the inmates return for more instruc.tion. · One teacher commented that one of ·,-his classes is diminishing in size because his students are being released f~~~ • prison. The classes are held in either ; the hallway, which is set up with · blackboards on the walls, or in the library. There are no guards present in ·_the rooms.

The conference, at_t_e ~ded by approximately 1300 students from all over the country, was held for newspaper, yearbook, and magazine editors and advisors. Several rooms of the hotel were devoted to the display4 of publications, and several commercial printing, engraving, and P~?tq·g raphic representatives also offere? displays. , Those who attended the conference from the College were Bill Kanyuck, news editor; Walt Narcum, sports editor; Carol Gass, assistant copy editor; ·c;~r.is.

Se.minars and conferences were otf~~ed during the three days, and the members attended meetings which covered everything from copy editing to page layout and make-up. Members of the Beacon gained valuable informa~ion concerning brightening inside pall~~. adding life and power to headlines, writing creatively and effectively : and editorializing. A luncheon and dance were held by the ACP for all members who attended the conference, and the National Educational Advertising Service, Inc. provided a continental breakfast for the attending students and advisors. NOTICE Amnicola announces that yearbooks may be ordered today until three o 'clock this afternoon. Yearbook price this year is $2.00. Joel Sher demonstrates a point on the blackboard. The program was originally financed through the state, but now the College is partially helping. One of the teachers mentioned that one of the most deplorable conditions existing in the prison is the inadequate library. There are very few reference books and almost I\O books for enjoyable reading. Anyone interested in participating in a campaign to get books or who would like to donate some to the library should contact Joel Sher at 823-9571.

BEACON Friday, October 28, 1966 Vol. XXVI, No. 6 Students give Camelot Crew Prepares comments on F C • p · d • .. faculty's art or om1ng ro ucl1on by Lynn Glomb Today is the last day of the Faculty Art Exhbit now being shown in Conyngham Annex. The purpose of this showing, according to the art fac ulty, is to give art students a visual presentation of the technical aspects of their courses and a chance to view the work of their instructors. The five showing faculty members demonstrate a diversified display of works. Varied textures are used to portray numerous subjects. As Philip Richards stated, "You would have to go to New York to see a show such as this." Most students queried liked the water colors of Richards and felt that his paintings were realistic. They admired his wash technique. Mr. Chester Colson, who has been experimenting with the potentials and limitations of polymers and acrylics, submitted some of his recent works. He believes "the fun of painting is in the act of creating." Visiting students liked the variety and color in his semi-abstract pictures and were quite impressed with "Eve Revisited." Most students found Mr. Roman Tymchyshyn·s "Design for a Monument" very intresting. Describing it as a satirical rubbing, employing the juxtaposition of magazaine pictures, Tymchyshyn calls it "really a joke on vanity." Various students thought he organized his works very well, but others found them rather morbid. Mr. Anthony Evangelista attempted to demonstrate different approaches one artist might have toward art and yet still maintain his own style. He entered wQ')d collages, an acrylic painting and an ink sketch. The collages were done for the sake of experimenting with surface quality. While most students thought he used imagination in these, they did criticize his use of a single color. Mr. Michael Stein maintains that every painting is a self portrait and stresses the interpretation rather than the imitation of art. His diversified techniques are exemplified by his works in photography, still lief, and figure painting. Although some students admired his use of color, others regarded his forms as printed and childish . Bob Sokoloski, left, and Rhea Simms rehearse a scene from Camelot as director Al Groh coaches.

JFK documentary to premiere tonight by Chris Sulat Years of Lightning, Day of Drums, which the New York Times has termed "a magnificent motion picture, " will be premiered at the Paramount Theater tonight at 8:30 p .m, This documentary about John F . Kennedy has been released for public viewing by a special act of Congress as a result of the acclaim it received. The movie is being sponsored by the Luzerne County Dental Auxiliary. Tonight's proceeds will go to the Mentally Retarded Children's Association of Luzerne County and to the Kennedy Memorial Library. The premiere is being held especially for students because it is felt that college students held more of a rapport with the former President than any other group. The Auxiliary requested the movie last February but did not receive a definite decision until two weeks ago. Bands and vocal groups will entertain the audience before the movie , and floodlights will be used on Public Square. The cost of the tickets is $1.50 for balcony seats and $2 for all others. Students from the area's five colleges will be ushers at the performance. Many other towns across the country are premiering the documentary tonight. Until now, it was shown only in large cities. The movie, with commentary by Gregory Peck, portrays the former President as a man of ideas and ideals. It does not dwell on his assassination and death but deals with all phases of his life. Distributed by Joseph E . Levine and produced by George Stevens in conjunction with the United States Information Agency, the documentary was originally made to be shown in all the countries of the world outside of the United States. This was done to give foreigners a view of the wide spectrum which his life encompassed and to give them an idea of his accomplishments in the United States. On December 3, 1960, Camelot opened in New York City and was appraised as one of the most brilliant, and by far the most lavish, musicals ever to be produced. Its success was no real surprise to the public, for its authors, Lerner and Loew, had just closed My Fair Lady, which had been hailed as the greatest American musical. Camelot was no exception to Lerner and Loew·s success story, for in 1961 it won four coveted Tony awards. The College theater group has been working feverishly for the past six mon '. hs to bring to its production of Camelo! the same lavishness and excellence that had been cheered by thousands in 873 Broadway performances. Construction of ten imaginative sets nears completion as 200 lavish costumes are being tailored in I New York City to appear on the Collejle's stage. Sets by Andrew Palencar (art instructor, Coughlin High ScI-iool), choral direction by Richard Chapline, and musical direction by Herbert Garber are being co-ordinated by AJfred S. Groh, production director. The theater box office reports that many of the public performances are reaching the sold-out mark. Reserved seats for student performances are also being distributed rapidly. Any student wishing a free seat for the performances November I 0, 11, and 13 must present assembly stub #28 at the theater box office between 9 and 5 on weekdays, and 12 and 5 on Saturdays. Additional tickets may be purchased at $3.50 for these performances. MANUSCRIPT by Klaus Loquasto Members of the Manuscript have chosen six films for presentation in the Fine Arts Center this year. The selections were made on the basis of film distributors' lists, student and faculty suggestions, and debate and voting by Manuscript members. Each movie will be shown twice on one of the following dates: December 2, January 6, February 17, March 17 and April 7. In addition to Miracle in Milan which was shown recently, the titles are: Le Million, a French classic; The Earrings of Madame de, French; The Cranes Are Flying, Russian; The Idiot, a Russian version; and The End of Innocence, an Argentinian film. �WILKES Page 2 The Newspaper's Integrity COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 28, 1966 A Modest Travesty, Or 01 Oaks And Mistletoe The press has undergone a great deal of criticism lately. On the professional level, city newspapers have been criticized for reporting and editing which has resulted in "trial by press" in court cases. This criticism has resulted in a legal investigation of the matter in one state. On the college level, a New England by Leona Sokash college magazine printed in one of its issues a cartoon satirizing While the College is being a religious ritual; a senator, upon reading it, became angered and instituted a state investigation of college publications.

All the latent druids on campus would find a real meeting place. I would expect to see gay, spirited scenes with students cavorting in mistletoe wreaths, pouring libations on the stately oak. But if the transplanting of an oak should prove unfeasible, our druids could always sublimate by making use of the yard's two stripling trees. I'd also imagine that the Ides, of the obvious name, would use ( on the fifteenth of every month) the benches to peer into the debate office and beyond to determine whether the light has really failed. And I'm of the opinion that the benches would prove of particular value during the fall and spring seasons.

It is our firm belief that if he can wander aimlessly t h r o u g h events and affairs which are beyond his grasp, we too can move in a similar direction, but with the one exception - we realize our limitations and compensate for them. Sniffing Hounds In perfect honesty I must admit that I admire the Emperor and concede that if "I," the public, were concerned with increasing the power of the federal government, raising the national debt to astronomical heights, creating both white and black backlashes because of poorly supported and sponsored legislation, and creating once again a new image of the U.S. before the world - this time as a nation of easy-goinSl ranch hounds who love to sniff the soil and have the sole ambition of retiring beside the muddy, churning waters of the Perdinales - then I would have to say he is doing a good job! Kangaroos of San Francisco It is not so bad that "our leader" should create havoc and vast uncertainty at home, he is now turning his "efforts" tow~rds other parts of the world, namely an area which no one can afford to fool around with, the Far East. Not merely content to go to Manila and jingle a few coins, he must go crashing around parts of Australia, revealing for the first time his underlying and everlasting love for the peoples of those areas. He was there for seven months during the war! The Emperor did not choose to make his mark in foreign affairs, which we may all be thankful for when we consider his domestic record! In fact, his only ventures into the area of foreign policy, until this week, concerned the visit of a Pakistani camel driver whom Vice-Emperor Lyndon had befriended while on a visit to Pakistan. Understanding the complexities of world politics so well, the Vice-Emperor felt that the solution to world politics could best be reached by going straight to the people. T h e r e are rumors around Washington that a group of Berber nomads are coming to see the Emperor just after Christmas to advise him on solutions to the Arab vs. Arab and Arab vs. Israeli conflicts. We come now to the Emperor's first real foray into international relations, the previously mentioned Far Eastern visit to Australia, Asia and the Conference this week in Manila. In my opinion this is another of the many masquerades of the reign of Emperor Lyndon I. We see it in the following light. Lyndon and his parasites at home realize those dreadful Republicans are going to pick up many seats next month unless something dramatic is done very soon to stem the approaching tid¢. Civil rights was not the key; increased social security benefits failed also.

And after taking in the splendors on the grass, I would probably not be amiss in anticipating assorted variations on the Christina theme in future art exhibitions. During this same season of spiritual awakening, our Student Government, after communing with Nature's awful spirit and thereby glorying in the flower, would come trailing clouds of glory after finding meaning for itself as an organization. Then it would really know things too deep for tears, and the student body would be blessed with an SG in tune with the Tao. Artist Holds Yesteryear Dear Editor: '"Yesterday's days" are gone. The desolate beaches, the bitter windswept dunes, the fiery sunsets, and the starry nights happened many miles ago. The time spent between the coast of Maine and the mountains of Pennsylvania can never be forgotten. It was a time when the wind was free and the cawing of the gulls would echo along the rocks of the cove. It was a time when winter settled on the woods of Pennsylvania in a quiet blanket of snow and 'Pete' turned to me to say, "Oh Mr. Smith." It was a time of yesterday's days and no others. In a final exhibit of oil, watercolor, and graphic work done during this period I've tried tQ capture the images, emotions, and changes which have most affected me. The exhibit will be open to the public from October 31 to November 5. It will be held at the gallery of Conyngham Annex between the hours of noon and 9 p.m. daily. I hope you'll come. SMITH �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, October 28, 1966 Wiendl leads ollensive Gridders an~...,-!~~!nsiv~ efforts To MAC The Beacon turns again this week to the football team for its Athlete of the Week, and has selected Joe W eindl for his game-saving performance against Drexel. With the score knotted at 7-7 early in the third quarter, Weindl received a punt on his own 23 yard line and raced 77 yards for Wilkes' only other score. It was the difference in the contest for later in the fourth period Drexel scored two points on a safety. It was the only punt W eindl received in the game, Drexel apparently fearing to let him get the ball, kicking it intentionally out of bounds. In 33 tries this season W eindl has returned punts for an average of 10.6 yards. Later in the game W eindl stopped a Drexel drive by intercepting his fourth pass of the season. Joe doesn 't limit his ability to the football field . Last year he was the College's only three-letter man. He gained one in wrestling while going undefeated in duel competition and one in baseball for an outstanding season at shortstop. .· . by George Pawlush Joe Wiendl W eindl comes to Wilkes from Westfield High School, Westfield, N.J. where he gained recognition by copping the sta te high school wrestling championship 148 pound division. We expect to hear more later this year from sophomore Joe Weindl. Hooters ore in competition for the MAC championship by Bill Bush On Thursday, October 20, the Wilkes soccer squad traveled to play a must game with Muhlenberg. Muhlenberg had previously defeated Moravian, who had given Wilkes one of their losses for the season. Captain Russ Jenkins who has spurred the team throughout the season scored for the Colonels in the first period of play. The game, for the remainder of the first half, was a defensive battle by both sides. Neither team could penetrate the other's goal and the half ended with Wilkes commanding a 1-0 lead. Muhlenberg was unable, in the second half, to tie the score. Jenkins ' goal proved to be the deciding factor as the Colonels won the game 1-0. Stevens Game Stevens Institute was the next victim of the Colonels' offense in a home game on Saturday, October 22. The Colonels led by the scoring of Captain Jenkins, and Rich Beck quickly obtained a lead over the Stevens squad. Jenkins and Beck each accounted for two goals as the Wilkes team won their fifth straight by a 4-0 score. With a record of 6-2 Wllkes travels to Wagner College tomorrow for the ninth game of the season.

Championship spearing the Dragons of Drexel 14-9. The victory, eleventh consecuutive for the Colonels of Roland Schmidt, was again highlighted by a couple of explosive plays. Playing before an overflow Drexel Homecoming crowd of 5000, the Wilkesmen broke a 7 -7 halftime tie to notch their sixth victory of thi: current campaign. C oming into the contest the Dragons had led the M .A.C.'s Southern Division, but a great defensive effort by the Colonels again prevailed. After battling to a scoreless first quarter, the Dragons hit the scoreboard first, early in the second stanza. Making good use of a Colonel miscue, an intercepted pass thrown by Rich Roshong, Drexel started their scoring drive on the Wilkes 39-yard line. After a series of plays, Dragon quarterback John Kuzan sliced in from the two. A placement attempt by soccer-style kicking Paul Secunda was good and Drexel held a 7-0 lead . With th e clock running out in the quarter, the Colonels took possession of the pigskin on the Drexel 46-yard line .

He blocked one pass and nail ed the Bear's quarterback several times for huge losses. He also blocked a punt early in the contest which set up the Colonels' first score. In the contest he was credited with seven tackles and five assists. Layden played high school football at GAR then went on to Lakemont Academy before entering Wilkes.

Colonel Mermen look for heller season The Wilkes mermen began practice on Tuesday of this week. The team hopes for a large turn out as it plans to better its record of last year. The team is headed by co-captains Jim Pirino and Wayne Wesley. In addition the team is supported · by many returning lettermen. Making a return appearance in the 200 yard back stroke event is Pat Burke. He may have some rough competition from incoming freshman talent. Rich Herrmann again is going out to conquer the boards for the mermen, while Bryn Kehrli, last year's most valuable swimmer hopes to hold his number one place in the sprint events. Dick Snowdon, a sophomore, also plans to put in his bid. Also returning is Ron Rittenmeyer who should hold the distance races. Other returning swimmers are Bill Cooper who will give aid in the diving, while Paul Rosenbaum will help in the breast stroke.

As he reached the middle, his last ounce of strength ooozed out and he lay motionless with his tongue across the yellow line. His heart yielded but a plink-plink in response to the screeching wheels of crashing cars and the hysterical screams of little old men. Alas, it was the return of Don Trodden. As they pulled him from the fast approaching wheels of the car of a faculty member on his hurried flight to get a good spot in the parking lot, Don was screaming to be taken to the gym so he wouldn't miss assembly. Suddenly it all began to add up: the scars, the amnesia, the frantic request. This poor boy must be a Wilkes College commuter.

As he turns into the unofficial Wilkes-Kings' Parking Lot under the Market Street bridge, he suddenly notices the entire parkarama is submerged. · As he lunges for his brakes and his foot goes through the Boor, he recalls the playful threat of the Library Fund' Committee when he refused to donate $350.

Their trip continued for a while but then the fish suddenly soared upward out of the water and over the fading trees. The next thing Don remembered was the huge gate of the " Big White College in the Sky." As he walked through the gates he found himself standing in front of the biggest parking lot he had ever seen. Far off in the distance he saw a massive structure of impressive architecture completely shading a small ivy-covered building. He was told that the small building was one of the lecture halls and the magnificent one next to it was the new parkade. The sight of it was just too much for Don. H e started to swoon but he snappedto just in time to hear the explanation of why the college thought it would be nice to allow three spaces for each student's car. As Don scanned the buildings his eyes finally rested on a big sign in front of the Parkade: "Let us clean your car while you 're in class." The experience soon came to an end, as Don was kissing the parking lot and its ex-Bunny attendant and murmuring about the sweet ecstacy of insanity. .. ... As they carry Don from the street he is still yelling about the big beautiful parking lot "somewhere up there" . In another week or so Don will be released and once again he will park under the bridge and fight the elements of nature as he tearfully thinks of the many disillusioned students who will never know about parkades and huge lots and who laugh in disbelief when he tells them of what wonderful things he was chosen to witness. uism one finds a caste system, it is of a restricted character. However, the majority of the people belong to common, middle, and aristocratic classes. The middle class comprises most of the students educated at the twelve universities in Pakistan where the educational emphasis is placed on the sciences, arts, and agriculture. Author-Linguist The accomplishments of Dr. Dev are numerous. He has written several books, available in the college library, which are concerned with his primary interest - man. These include his doctoral dissertation originally entitled "Reason, Intuition and Reality," later published under the title Idealism and Progress. A few of his other works include: Aspirations of the Common Man; My Philosophy of Synthesis: Factors That Molded It; and The Synthesis That Can Save Man. Aside from being a skilled journalist, Dr. Dev is also a linguist able to converse in English and the languages of South East Asia - Sanscrit, Bengale, Urdu, and Pale. A few of his previous positions have been: founder and principal of a first grade college in East Pakistan; secretary of the Pakistan Philosophical Congress from 1955-1965; founder of an academy of philosophers in Dacca, East Pakistan; and he has been closely associated with the Ranakashire Mission, an international organization for humanitarian thinkers.

Miss Swenski mentioned the chance to gradually adjust to the college academic level as a good idea. Finn reemphasized a point made by Dr. Michelini, that being a part of the " total college environment" is much easier than studying only one or two courses at the college level. Top-ranking high school seniors, screened and recommended by their respective high schools, have been invited for the past three years to participate in a tuition-free program of earning full college credits at Wilkes before high school graduation.

The Manila stunt is a fine poltical ruse.

I am ashamed for our emperor that he must resort to such tactics. He must be ashamed to have to stoop to such devices so he and his party can remain in power.

I watched Ahmed; his eyes were cold, unfeeling, void of all compassion. It does no good to feel sorry for these people; this right is reserved soley for visitors. The children and old people took the food without thanks or bitterness toward their benefactor, but with hunger. Shadows-dark, unrecognizable faces , withered fingers , torn clothes, sitting in clusters like dried, drenched grapes, silently and alone - devoured food unfit for pigs. How could the rain dare to fall on these already desolate, forsaken miserable creatures and add to their unbearable agony? I departed from Chaouen, but these wretched people remained clear in my mind. Premature Grapes "Noon. The sun is hot and I stop frequently a-long deserted roads to refresh my mouth with a cool drink, and to observe the people. Here, in this work-mill, the young wither before they blossom, like premature grapes dried in the sun. I gaze around: to the North - sharp clear-cut, rosecolored mountains, to the South - soft swells of brown earth like pregnant bellies lie in labor, and in front of me - huge, fat crows with shiny, oily feathers strut in the road and pick the dung of donkeys. The Earth, like a famished python gobbles down the Sun, swells and is content lor the night. "I place my blanket on the cool Earth amids t an almond orchard and attempt to sleep. The stars, thousands, light the heavens, and the thick-scented almond blossoms drug my mind p1unging me into the bottomless pit of fantasy. "I waked in a pink-colored world; the sun, just beginning to flood the sky in a light rose color, gently illuminated the pink almond blossoms. I dressed , dipped my head in . a nearby stream, and began once again on my way . In the morning the sky in the East tums pink, reddens, then, as if squeezed from a small-necked bottle, the sun bursts into the sky, blinding and hot. In the fields hundreds of Arabs on their knees lift their heads and torsos up and down like cobras and pray toward the sacred city of Mecca. Only the inarticulate chanting of the leader reading the Koran breaks the silence of Africa Let's Go Parking The lack of on-campus parking has grown proportionately with the development of the College, as is true at almost every college in the United States. Sooner or later the physical limits of the school's property must be reached, unless it continually buys more land for parking as it is needed. We are limited not only by a lack of funds, but also by property available, and zoning laws. But the question of student parking is not how can the administration provide parking. Rather it is do thy have to? What right do we as students have to demand parking space? The tuition which we pay every semester is not for parking our cars on campus, but for parking our bodies in classrooms. We upperclassmen have been spoiled. We ~ave been accustomed to coming to school and finding par~ftg space; granted, sometimes it was a bit muddy or cramped; but still it was space. And we have passed our pipe-dreams on to our followers. But few of us realize the situation on other campuses. Many small city colleges and practically all large universities and colleges provide absolutely no student parking, and some don't even have room for their faculty and staff. Such has become the case here. Presently there are 170 parking space available on campus. with 250 members of the Administration, faculty, and staff wishing to utilize them. With these spaces at such a premium, the dormitory students as well as commuting students must suffer great inconvenience. An interview with Dean George Ralston has revealed that there are no immediate plans for alleviating the parking problm, and there is little hope that it will be solved in the near future. The parking problem has finall}'_ _been placed in the hands of its rightful owners, the students. We ourselves must and will find OUR OWN solutions to OUR problem. Into the Desert "I have been trying for days to enter the desert, but no caravan wants to be burdened with a stranger. Fiq-. ally, one evening in a cafe in Benghazi, an old man apporaches my table and sits down . The hood of his jelaba covers most of his face, but his Bible-black eyes are clearly visible . He stares at me - his wrinkled, olive-colored hands cupped on the table. " 'When do you want to leave?" he asked in almost perfect English. "You will meet me here tomorrow morning and I will take you to the caravan. You must be blessed by the prophet before entering the desert. Now go to your room and speak to no one of this meeting. May Allah be with you.· "He left as quickly and as quietly as he entered, and I followed his instructions. "Morning. I met the stranger and we departed for the desert. As soon as we came within sight of the caravan, we stopped. I could see someone approaching us on a camel. "The holy one approaches," the old man said. 'After he blesses you , they will take you into the desert for three weeks; and then return you safely to Benghazi. You do not understand Arabic so I wiH tell you now what th e holy one will say .'

COLLEGE &EACON Friday, November 4, 1966 College's political group discusses Shaler, Shapp by Ellen Ramsey, Norman H. Kresge SHAPP The campaign literature announced, "Milton Shapp - A New Face in Pennsylvania Politics. " And so the fight began, the outcome of which shook every Democratic organization in every county in the state. The longtime party boss and former governor, David Lawrence, was campaigning for Senator Bob Casey. Senator Joe Clark, another member of the party's power elite, was also campaigning for Casey. As the organization-backed candidate, all the funds available to the Democratic party were used to get Bob Casey's name plastered on every TV screen, car bumper and bill board across the state. But Senator Casey was defeated by a relatively unknown businessman from Philadelphia who had no network of dedicated workers, no significant ties with Democratic party leaders nothing but sheer determination and about two million dollars of his own money to make that determination effective. Economic growth in Pennsylvania is about one-half the national average, and there are still many unemployed throughout the state. has a proven record of pub'lic service.

Of course he did.

J.ette,-, Now the primary is over, the Democratic party is supposedly again united, and in four days Pennsylvan'i a's voters will choose between Milton Shapp and his Republican opponent, Raymond Shafer. It would be pointless to prophesize what the outcome of the election will be, but as the campaign slogans and blind sentimentality are obscured by vital issues and raw facts, voters are looking into the candidates themselves, instead of the Kennedy-type myths which surround our modern politicians. Here is what they see in Milton Shapp. In 1948, with two employees and $500, Shapp started the Jerrold Corporation which now employes over 2,100 persons in five factories and a research laboratory and has a net worth of over $10 million. He has over twenty years of experience as a successful business executive including contract negotiations with many unions. The Governor of Pennsylvania will be responsible for spending 1,500,000,000 dollars of taxpayers' money and will supervise over 90,000 state employees. Honor code being urged Dear Editor: The question of academic integrity has various meanings to our student body. Many consider it a hazy concept of abstract ideals. I believe it is a comprehensive philosophy of education; it represents the ideals we hold and opera'te under while be'ing educated at Wilkes. I believe that the great majority of the students have academic integrity on a personal level. What we need however, is a transfer of this personal integrity to a state of collective integrity. The environment we live in infects us. We must have an honorable environment at the College, if it is to remain a mature educational institution. The price of all this is student responsibility. Since we will have to face responsibility of this nature during our professiona'I lives, there is no reason to assume that we can't or shouldn't accept it now. It is time for all of us to re-evaluate ourselves and the environment we live in. Anyone who lies, steals, or cheats in my estimation has no place among us here at the College. If you accept this statement, you have accepted academic integrity. Gerald J. Weber, '67 Qualifications Shapp served as a special consultant to the U .S. Secretary of Commerce on Industrial Redevelopment, and was vice-chairman of the National Public Advisary Committee on Area Redevelopment. There are approximately 35 strip mines destroying the landscape in Pennsylvania; Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, our two largest cities, are high on the list of the nation's larger cities for slums and poor living conditions. Beacon Editor: Thanks Milton Shapp was a faculty mem ber at St. Joseph's College. He was a member of the Governor's Committee of 100 for Better Education and chairman of the Executive Committee of Berian Institute, a vocational school for disadvantaged students. He sponsors the Shapp Scholarship Fund and is author of a plan to provide free higher education for all high school graduates with no increase in taxes. Pennsylvania now ranks forty-ninth of the fifty states in per capita support of higher education. I would like to express my thanks to Mrs. Antonia Dolbear of the Business Education Department for providing typists on October 18 for the W 1ilkes blood collection. The following students were responsi-ble for typing the laboratory sheets which must be 100% perfect: Barbara Erwine, 2 hours; Mary Hahn, 4 hours; Joan Cole, 2 hours; Pamela Williams, 2 hours; Bernice Polny, 2 hours.

In this platform Milton Shapp supports a program which features state payment equal to 80% of the tuition fees of the state colleges, while Raymond Shafer supports an extension of the present state scholarship program. Students were asked to comment on this issue. David Foglietta - Both proposals are attractive from a student's point of view. However, an extension of th e s~ate scholarship program as proposed by Shafer will become absolutely necessary if the current upsurge of (King Arthur) Bob Sokolowski, Rhea Simms (Guinevere), and Neil Rosensheim college applicants is maintained. View(Sir Lancelot) pose in their elaborately styled costumes for the upcoming performances ing the situation from this point of view, every student and prospective of CAMELOT. student will undoubtedly have more to gain from Mr. Shapp's 80% coverage of tuition. If by maintaining that 80% of tuition will be covered for every student and not only those who qualify academically, this is the better proposal.

Pat Sickler - I agree with Shafer's idea of increasing the number of scholarships because this provides an incentive to students to obtain good grades. It is a reward to the efforts of a student who has worked hard all through school and it is, at the same time, possible for many students to achieve." David Piatt - I feel that Mr. Shafer's idea of an extended scholarship program is the better idea for aid to students. If everyone were to ceive equal help, then students of the higher income bracket would have greater advantages than those who come from a lower income bracket because of the financial inequality. A graduated scholarship program administered by the state would make financial stresses more equal. r~- .Junior treasury al $6.19; sopho1nore class has $200 by Zig A. Pines The sophomore class is finally "in the black". The good news was recently reported at the sophomore class meeting by Linda Picetti, class treasurer. Aker president Mike Clark opened the meeting at the Jewish Community Center, class secretary Florence Napoli read the minutes of the last meeting. Linda Picetti then announced that after paying $500 in the last month, the class was $200 "in the black. " Mike Clark introduced Eileen Luff and Alan Pilikian as the new executive council presidential appointees. The following were introduced as the newly appointed class officers: Carol Womelsdorf, parliamentarian; Judy Sheneship, historian; and Jay Holiday, sergeant-at-arms. Tom Kelley reported that the class netted a profit of $338 at its October 7 dance. Alan Pilikian termed the sophomore-junior class hayride as a "complete success." Paul Wender, student representative chairman for the recent blood drive, announced that the sophomore campaign went over the top with 150 pints of blood donated by sophomores. Carl Siracuse, student representa'tive chairman for 1966 Homecoming festivi'ties, gave a final report concerning what is going to take place. After announcing that the next meeting would be December 6, Mike Clark adjourned the meeting. Concerning the problem of finances the junior class was told that its treasury funds were " frozen" at $6.19 and that no money-making activities are planned until April. It was resolved that individuals would lend money to the class. Of special importance was the adoption of a child through the Foster Parents Plan which will cost $180 yearly. The child will be provided with shelter, food, clothing, spending money, and education. The project will hopefully extend itself as a class alumni effort so that when the child reaches the age of eighteen he might possibly be brought to the College to receive his higher education. It was also announced that the total blood contribution at Wilkes was 300 pints. The United Fund campaign on campus is extended until November 9 in order that the College ·s quota of $2500 be attained. Additional class business was the introduction of Carroll Cobbs as newly-elected student government representative, and discussion of the feasibility of an honor system at Wilkes and discussion of the possibility of a lectur~ series instituted through alumni at class meetings. Fran Olexy, vice-president of the class, who presided at the meeting, called the meeting to adjournment. A:t the recent senior class meeting, which approximately 60 s e n i ors attended, it was announced that it was not possible to obtain the Harlem Astronauts for the class-sponsored dance on November 11. The class instead is planning to have a small dance in the old caf.

Mr. Gordon Roberts presided at the freshman class meeting held in the gymnasium. The topic of the college student's responsibility to the United Fund was covered by Dr. Reif, class advisor. He stated that the average faculty member's contribution has been $56 and that each freshman should not feel burdened by sacrificing one dollar for a worthy community cause. It was also reported that the freshman United Fund Dance netted approximately $ I 75 which will go entirely to the United Fund. Cheryl Napoleon and Jay Ruckel spoke on The Prophet which had not been included at the last class orientation mee ting held at the Fine Arts Center. HELP! Th e Debate Society needs YOU!

Rumors had been flying about for weeks that the Colonels had the inside track on the Lambert Bowl. but now it is finally official. This f.act does not mean that Wilkes has won the Lambert Bowl. Tomorrow's':·,Homecoming game with P .M.C. will be the deciding factor. Shquld we lose to PMC all chance for winning the bowl w ill be los't. A decisivl! victory, on the other hand, will prob:ibly mean that the Colonels will win the Lambert Bowl. This is the first year that the Lambert Bowl . will be presented. It is a new honor that was conceived to give small co'l : aes a chance at nationwide recognition. Previously only larger colleges w ere considered for the Lambert Trophy . Last year Wilkes was number ten in the balloting for the Lambert Trophy, despite the fact that we had a better record than some of the larger schools ranked above us. The Lambert name has long been associated with supremacy in football in the East. Should Wilkes be the first to win the new honor it will go a long way toward giving the Colonels nationwidl' recognition in small college circles. The Colonels coaches and team are to be congratulated on the fine job they have done thus far this year and the Beacon wishes them luck in their final game this season. Intramural teams swing into final week of action by Bill Vetter With two weeks of the intramural football season gone, the Trojans and the Untouchables lead the Independent League, and Section D and Wing F top the Dormitory League. The Trojans have made the best showing so far , with a 66-0 victory over the Frosh, a 43-0 victory over the Blndhrs, and a forfeit victory over the Psychotics, who obviously couldn't s tand the pressure. The Untouchables have a 2-0 record, but both their victories have been via forfeit. In the Dormitory League, Section D has a 2-0 record with a 20-13 victory over Hainna and a forfeit over Gore. Wing F has a 1-0 record with a forfeit victory over Gore. Hainna Hall with a 2-1 record, staged the most exciting comeback victory of the season against Miner. Trailing 15-0 at halftime, Hainna opened up in the second half to maul Minor 27-15 . The Frosh and the Blndhrs were evenly matched as th ey battled to a 19-19 tie. The Dorm League s hould provide the closest contests as there are thre e teams which are on equal footing. The big contest in the Independent League should be the Trojan vs. Untouchables. The results of games this week are not reported due to the Beacon deadline. Next week should see the overall championship decided by a playoff between the winners of the Dorm and Independent Leagues. ~enkins gains honors lor leadership ol leam by William Bush This week the Beacon pays tribute to Captain Russell Jenkins for his fine leadership of the Colonels soccer team. A native of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, Captain Jenkins has been a member of the Wilkes squad for four years. This season he is one of the leading scorers with a total of seven goals thus far in the season. During his freshman and sophomore years Jenkins also lettered in basketball for his fine back court play. Under his leadership this season he has managed to push the Colonels into the lead of the MAC Conference in soccer. Russ is a Biology major in his senior year and plans to attend Temple Medical School upon completion of his s tudies at Wilkes. For the past two years he has been residing in Luzerne with his wife and baby daughter. Besides his participation in athletics he is an active member in the Letterman's Club and a social member of Gore Hall. Captain Jenkins received distinction last year by obtaining an average of 4.0 for the Spring semRUSS JENKINS ester. Russ has been a fine example of the Phoenixville tradition in Wilkes complete this season by leading the soccer and we hope he will be able to hooters to th e MAC Championship. by Bob Thompson With their Homecoming games tomorrow, both the football and soccer teams are in enviable positions - both are atop the MAC Northern Division in their respective sports. The gridders are 6-0 in MAC competition and remain two games ahead of Upsala ( 4-0). The gridders are favored to beat PMC and are assured at least of a tie for the crown. Upsala has three games remaining. If they lose any, the Colonels become sole champions. The booters, currently 5-1. can clinch th e crown if they win both remaining games and if second-place Elizabethtown ( 4-1) loses one of its four remaining games. The accomplishments of coach Neddoff's charges have been overlooked alongside the o u t s t a n d i n g accomplishments of the foot b a I .) machine. They have set a new school record in posting four shutouts and stand a chance of setting a new record in ' goals scored against. They now have seven, the school record being twelve. Offensively, they set a record for the most goals scored in one game with eight against Harpur. With .a total of 24 goals they could also brea~ the scoring record of 33 goals in one season. The team is led offensively by Rich Beck with eight goals and Russ Jenkins with seven. Defensively , fullbacks Ed Manda and Jerry Yuremko have led the team while goalie Tom Rokita is credited with four shutouts. The accomplishments are more impressive when you consider that Capta in Russ Jenkins is the only senior'. The two remaining opponents, Hofstra and Susquehanna, are not considered top-notch teams , but should not be taken lightly. The College's other fall sport, football, has gained national attention. Last week the Colonels were fifth in the nation among small colleges in total defense and received votes for the top ten small college teams. With a convincing win over strong Juniata, holding them to only 159 yards gained, the Colonels have a good chance of gaining a few more votes (a deadilne prevents us from reporting this) . They are among only 25 teams nationally , of any size, which remain undefeated. Of th ese 25 , Wilkes is among the six least scored upon teams with 30 points against ( the other five have 28 or 29 points against them). The Schmidtmen lead the MAC in every defensive category and are near the top in rushing and total offense. The Wilkes gridders .are favored to take PMC but they may not have an easy time. PMC Colleges ( a merger of Pennsylvania Military College and Penn Morton College) is a hot and cold team . Some days they could beat no one. But all teams are up for Wilkes so a good battle can be expected. The Cadets, 2-3 on the season , are led by fullback Piela and quarterback Bill MacQueen. They are near the uoooaoooooooooooaoooooooooooooooo ooooooo □ooooooo top in all offensive categories in the Southern MAC Division with Piela the leading groundgginer and MacQueen second in passing. However a weak defense , especially against rushing, has been a factor in the . three loses. After seven games the Colonels stack-up thus: Wilkes Opp. Passes attempted .... 49 144 Passes completed 11 45 Touchdown passes 3 0 Intercepted 4 17 Net yards rushing 1201 394 Total offense 1501 894 Scoring 104 30 Some individual leaders for coach Schmidt _are: in scoring, Purta with 45 points, Zakowski 14 , Varchol 12; in passing, leads with five out of 16 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns. Skvarla is the leading receiver, grabbing six passes for 164 yards and one touchdown. Purta has caught only two passes for 94· yards, but both were touchdowns. The Colonels as a team have intercepted 17 passes, Varchol 5 of them, Weindl 4 and Kane 3. In the rushing department Purta carried the ball 49 times for 270 yards ( 5-. I yards per carry) while Lowery has been the team workhorse carrying 93 times for 268 yards. Zakowski has the highes, average yards per carry with 6.9 (146 yards in 21 attempts) . Weindl has averaged 10.1 yards on punt returns , while Staake has averaged 33.6 yards on 46 punts and Purta 47 yards per kickoff. The football team has gained niuc!-1 recognitioh and brought much presti9c to th e College. They are favored t:i win the Lambert Bowl (given to th e top small college team in the ECAC) as long as th ey beat PMC, and they are being watched for other . pos :season honors. With this outstandin9 record there are only five seniors o:i the team, but all are key men. They are Captain and center Ralph Hendershot, who is already missed with his · injury ; Quarterback Rich Roshoiig , who keeps th e team inoving along well; versatil e Paul Purta , the powerful fullback; Ray Lowery , who can always be depended on to get that las t tough yard; and defensiv e back A l Y atko, the keystone of the defense and probably th e most overlooked member of the team .

Marie D 'Ambola and George Shadie were in charge of the tickets , and Judy Simonson took care of the favors. Glenn Michael's Orchestra played for this semi-formal affair. A dinn er dance for alumni was held at the Sterling Hotel. "Catch the Cadets" was the theme used by the w.omen of Warner Hall to win the trophy for the best allaround display. A tweJve foot ColoneJ sat on the second Boor porch with six-foot legs dangling. In his hands was a fishing r.od with a paper mache fish on the hook. A wood and ceJlophane fish tank containing three fish was on the ground directly underneath the Colonel. Sturdeva nt Hall won the trophy for th e best women's dormi tory display with its th eme of "Cultivate the Colonels" and "Weed out the Cadets." The Colonel s tood on the second floor porch with a watering can in one hand and a spray gun in the other. Silver foil which extended from the watering can almost to the ground was used for the streams of water that cultivated the Wilkes football team. The prize winner in th e men 's dormitory category was Fort Gore. With their theme of "Conquer th e Cadets ", th e men of Gore converted the front of the dorm into the likeness of a fort. Canons were placed at strategic points around the building and the Colonel stood on the second floor lighting th e larg est one . On the lawn were six life-size Cadets kneeling on one knee and holding rifles. One of the cadets was holding a white flag and th e soldiers of Gore made an appropriate sign saying "Even Toy Soldiers Know When It's Time to Quit." Gore also lent an aesthetic air to th e weekend with their use of Tchaikovsky's 18 I 2 Overture for one of thei r sound effects. The Biology Club used the theme "Mutate the Cadets " I-for their pri zewinning display . Behind a fla shing x-ray machine was a DNA molecule. On a turn tabl e were two cadets one a mutation and th e other a normal person . When the Colonel turn ed th e x- ray machine on, lights began to flash and the cadets began to rotate, showing the ph ysical diffe rence of th e cadets before and after the game. Although every display could not be a prize winner, some showed a great deal of time and effort put into them and others were very di stinctive in their own way.

Coach Rollie Schmidt and his team will long be remembered for this season no matter what happens in the coming years. When great teams are be·ng compared, the Colonels' squad of '66 will be the criteria against which all teams will be measured. The fact that the Colonels were expected to take the MAC championship in no way detracts from the fact that they accomplished his feat, for dreams have a way of eluding those who would grasp them. To achieve their dre"im, the entire team exhibited a determination that is rarely found in even a single individual. The Colonels' accomplishments did not come easily. In the second game of the season, the Colonels pulled out a victory with one second remaining. In the third game a fourth period field goal was the deciding factor. The fourth game saw a second half touchdown decide the final outcome of the game. Despite four straight wins the Colonels were criticized for not winning bigger margins. Not satisfied with winning, the Colonels won three of their last games by three touchdowns or more, thus proving themselves worthy of being named number one in the Lambert Bowl voting. The Colonels have not finished garnering honors. The MAC all-star team still must be picked. The final voting for the Lambert Bowl is not in as yet. Bids for bowl games have not been made. Whatever the future holds for this team, they have already proven themselves one of the greatest teams Wilkes has produced. 3Jn ;fllemoriatu Pat McGarty is dead. And there is no more the promise of the man who would fulfill himself, no more the promise of a brilliance that would surpass the light of suns. We saw him and recognized him apart from the rest of us. We knew that genius was sealed on his forehead. Our tragedy is that we were never to be witness to the flowering of his great creative ability, that we were only to possess those brilliant pieces which had inherent in them the prophecy that more brilliance would come. The BEACON wishes to extend its heartfelt sympathy to his widow, Catherine McGarty. L.J.S. The Sea at 7 A. M. (BRIDGEHAMPTON) by Patrick McGarty The lazy rolling of the sea, the pastel of Heaven and earth, and I think of journeys in the early mist, into the blue of 7 a.m. The sea at 7a.m. is a charming goddess, daily renewed, her ribbed back a richer blue where it meets the line: that line, almost a distinct black, that demarks Heaven. When she sings her love song to driftwood and the reeds and the cumbersome gulls pecking in the scud it is time for long, fruitful journeys, to think of love. to calm a rumpling in the soul. Now, before she tosses or turns leaving the solitary eye hanging high, glaring at faded spectrums, spiked in the sand, shielding the bronzed faces and lightened hair of hesitant neophytes. To approach and pierce the thi~ skin left by retreating breakers. To frighten a gull and watch his flight: the airborn confidence makes one forget his earthly gawk. Push out, towards the line.

As an afterthought to the Homecoming weekend, we are therefore presenting, here on our stage for on day only, glimpses of the College - its issues and events - as it was between the years 1948 and 1955 (mainly because our back issues of the Beacon only go back that far). One of the more interesting items uncovered in our search into the past is the fact that the summer session was as activity-filled as the fall and spring semesters ( at least in the summer of 1948). The Beacon was published weekly, clubs carried on their activities, intramural softball teams competed; and "Indian Summer Ser·; enade," a semi-formal affair, was held at the Irem Temple Country Club pavilion. The Wilkes grid schedule of the fall of 1958 included such schools as Bloomsburg, Lycoming, S't. Francis, Hartwick. Mansfield , Rider, Steubenville, and King's ( the one up the street). All home games were played at either Meyers' or Kingston stadium. Do one Joseph H. Kanner and one Robert Riley remember when , as students at the College, they wrote letters to the Beacon protesting the amount of money ($2,368.79 to be exact) spent for a Cinderella Ball which featured Tommy Dorsey 's Orchestra? Speaking of Tommy Dorsey, many of the affairs at the College featured " big " name celebrities. Jack Norton, billed as the number one drunk of films, made a surprise appearance at a Beacon cabaret party. The Cinderella Ball of 1949 featured Johnny Long (who, judging from his picture in the Beacon, must have been the Robert Goulet of that era) whose " fine musical aggregation" is remembered (?) for its part in "Shanty Town" ( whatever that may be). Freddie Stewart, famous radio, recording and television star, appeared at the Student Council cabaret party in October of 1949. Library book thefts, apathy and parking are by no means problems limited to present day students. In the summer of 1948 it was disclosed that 332 of the most popular books were missing from the library. In 1949 at a student-faculty dinner the question was raised as to how to get more class spirit at the College. A Beacon editorial attributed the growing apathy to the growth of the College (a significant comment, eh?). A 1954 editorial bemoaned the lack of parking space on or near the College. The only available lot - for both dorm and day students - was the one on the corner of South and Franklin Streets which is soon to be replaced by a library. For at least three years after 1946, a Wilkes-King's Weekend was a regular event on the College's calendar. The weekend featured a grid contest between the two schools and a dance. Th e girls from Misericordia were also invited ( for the Kingsmen, you know). In I 94 7 the two teams decided that the losers were to take a barrel to Public Square, paint it with the vic(Continued on Page 4) of major importance, but that does not detract from its significance in the ever-lasting search for world peace since it is one more step along th e road to friendly relations with th e other great powers of the world. It is vital that we achieve a rapprochement with the Soviet Union because each day the greatest threat to world peace, Red China, grows more and more capable of plunging the world into a nuclear holocaust. Soon, unless the great upheaval which is presently convulsing China (that grc::i '. a n t h i 11 of humanity) hurls h<'r into the chaos (which similar convulsions in the past have produced ). the leaders of that nation will no longer be able to control the ener<,v which a mass reshuffling of a sochity produces by internal revolution. When that time comes, they will be forced to open the gates and l~t that energy expend itself in foreign conquest. When that time comes, it will take the combined power of both the United States and the Soviet Union to prevent its engulfing the entire world. If those people who still believe tha : the primary goal of the Soviet Union is the communizing of the world, achieve their goal of isolationism. that time will come when both powers will exhaust themselves trying to contain the Chinese alone. One or th e other will succeed, for no power on earth could take on both, even separately and hope to be victorious. But the victorious power will find itself master of a desolate world where not even the isolationists would find life pleasant. Let them remember th e possibility of the latter when they spread their fascist poison, and let us hope that neither they nor the :r counterparts in the Soviet Union ev'rr come to power. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Host food rapped Dear Editor: I would like to extend my condolences to the two co-chairmen who went to the trouble of arranging the Homecoming dinner-dance at the Host. Instead of the enjoyable meal I was looking forward to, I found one, rather ruined by the below-par menu that the Host had provided. It seems that this establishment watches its meal lines rather carefully. Even the Navy does not apportion cole slaw or limit the amount of coffee to only one cup. Once again, I express my condolences to the lady and gentleman who were in charge of this affair. I hope the atmosphere at the Host will be a lesson to others who plan such affairs in the future . Hungry and Thirsty Thanks Dear Editor: I would like to express the gratitude of the Wilkes Alumni Association for the outstanding contribution by students to our recent Homecoming. Judging from comments of alumni and letters received by this office, we believe that this past Homecoming was the most successful ever held. To the dormitories. clubs, and class- es that erected displays - many thanks. To student Co-chairmen Alice Fronduiti and Carl Siracuse, who carried out a myriad of tasks , we are deeply appreciative. Wayne Yetter handled the difficult half-time ceremony in his typically admirable way. Peter Reis and Pamela Eustice helped with so many details. Thanks to the Beacon staff for another job well done. Appreciation to those faculty and administration members who attended activities of alumni and students is also extended. Sincerely, Gordon E. Roberts Director of Alumni Relation-s Parking Dear Editor: You state that we have no right to ask that the College administration provide parking for the commuting students of this college, and I ask you to remove your collective heads from the sands of blindness. How can you believe that a school which was founded for and still does exist to a large extent for the benefit of commuting students has no obligation to provide parking? Yes, I said that the school exists for the benefit of its students. Contrary to what appears to be the general attitude of the administration, the students do not exist for the benefit of the school. I have been driving to this school for three and a half years now, and I fail to see the logic behind your proposal that we have been spoiled. There was not always space un'til the houses on Wright Street were torn down, and then the rather fascinating problem of mud was added. I do realize the situation on the campuses of other schools. Except in those schools which are located in large cities with adequate and relatively inexpensive transportation systems and where only a small percentage of students live far enough away to require a car, most schools try to provide adequate parking space for their commuting students if local condrtions make it impossible for them to find adequate space, which is not the (Continued on Page 4) �WILKES Friday, November 11, 1966 COLLEGE BEACON Page 3 Coach Schmidt happily stales "Whal can I say?" INTRAMURALS Shown above is the exciting action of the intramural contests. This week should see the overall championship decided. Trojans continue to lead the Independent League by Bill Vetter In the next to the last week of intramural play, the Trojans gained sole possession of the Independent League lead with a I 9-12 defeat of the Gemini coupled with the Untouchables ' 26-0 loss to the Frosh. The Gemini, a good defensive team, battled in holding the Trojans and then tieing the Psychotics 0-0. In the remaining contest the Frosh won their second game of the week on a forfeit over the Psychotics. In the close Dorm League, Section D remains on top with a perfect 3-0 record after beating Patton 27-0. Runners-up Hainna and Miner each won once, Hainna on a forfeit win over Gore and Miner defeated Wing F, 13-0. Hainna also defeated Wing F 20-0 while Wing F on Monday beat Patton in a close game 7-6. The Trojans played the Untouchables this week. The Untouchables were the only team with a chance to win in the Independent League. The three top teams in the Dorm League all have a shot at the League cr?wn. Boolers conquer two; continue lo lead MAC by William Bush Led by the scoring of Russ Jenkins, the Wilkes soccer team added two more victories to their win column by defeating Hofstra and Upsala. On Saturday morning, before a Homecoming crowd, the Wilkes squad handily defeated Hofstra University by a score of 3-0. Russ Jenkins was Wilkes' offensive standout against Hofstra, scoring twice in the fourth period. This gave Captain Jenkins a total of nine goals for the season. Joe Kiefer, inside right, scored the other goal for the Colonels in the second period. Jerry Yaremko, Jim Kennedy and Edwin Manda turned in a fine defensive performance for the team and kept the Hofstra offense from scoring. ooo□oooooooocoooo □oocoooooooooocooooocooooOCXXJ □o Down Upsala ACE HOFFMAN Studios and Camera Shop PORTRAIT, COMMERCIAL AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHERS CAMERAS AND PHOTO SUPPLIES 36 W.

The other goal was attributed to Joe Kiefer early in the first half. The squad now has a league record of 7-1 and is maintaining a slim lead over Elizabethtown for the MAC crown. Only one game remains for the Colonels and that is home tomorrow against Susquehanna University.

After an early scare, the Colonel fans watched this team settle into their normal superb form . Near the end of the fourth quarter, the issue was nearly settled and the second string was in to stay. With one minute left, the more eager fans began to crowd the sidelines. Suddenly the freshman quarterback Joe Zakowski, always a crowd pleaser, sprinted around end and went in for the final score. The cheer was the loudest of the day. Purta 's PAT was good, and p~ayers and spectators alike were ecstatic. As they ran off the field, one of the players shouted, "That one was the Lambert Bowl. " In a few seconds the final whistle blew; the Colonels ended the season undefeated, and MAC champions. Bu't the cheers were somewhat subdued and anti-climatic. The feeling was more one of relief, and the longexpected eighth victory was history. As the dusk descended on the cool afternoon, the fans and players milled around the field, giving and receiving congratulations. On the hill the scoreboard shouted the story! Suddenly the players realized they had forgotten their after-game party, and most of all their coach. They ran after Coach Schmidt as if he were the PMC quarterback and hoisted him on their shoulders, heading for the showers. Along the way Coaches Goobic, Adonizio and Ewastation were also scooped up. Into the showers they went, to chants which only they knew the meaning of. In the lockerroom the celebration was already underway. Everyone got a bath in Coke, and was splattered with whipped cream-covered cake. There wasn't a happier man than Coach Schmidt anywhere. He just . looked around and beamed. I asked him to say something original. His answer was "What can I say?

Playing before an overflow Wilkes Homecoming crowd of 7,000, P.M.C. took advantage of a couple of Colonel miscues to take an early 9-0 advantage over the MAC Champs. But as usual, the offensive and defensive squads regained their composure to give the Colonels their first undefeated season in 20 years. The Colonels who finished the current grid war undefeated extended their two-year unbeaten skein to 13 games. Upsala College, who had a 5-0 MAC log prior to Saturday, was upset 28-20 by Moravian to add sweetness to the blemishless Colonel season, leaving the Colonels as sole possessors of the MAC 's Northern Division Championship.

Taking advantage of an early Wilkes fumble deep in Colonel territory, the Cadets lost no time in scoring. Capping a three-play drive, Cadet halfback Fred Head spun in from the three. A placement attempt was blocked by Mike Connolly. Seconds later, the Cadets got the pigskin back again. Recovering a Colonel fumble at midfield, P .M.C. moved the ball to the Wilkes 20 where the defense held steadfast. On a fourth down play Bob MacGuiney, Cadet kicking specialist, split the uprights for a field goal and a 9-0 lead. From the start of the second period to the end of the game, it was Wilkes all the way. Smelling a championship in the wind, the Colonels opened up their running attack gaining substantial yardage with each carry. When the half time gun sounded, Wilkes was in the driver's seat holding a 13-9 lead. Paul Purta finished his collegiate football career in fine style by scoring both tallies on three and eight yard off tackle jaunts. His first placement attempt was wide, but the second offering hit its mark. Midway in the third stanza, the Colonels put the game out of reach with another sustained rushing drive. Doing the honors for the score was Ray Lowery who smashed in from the three-yard line. Purta's placement was good and the Schmidtmen took a 20-9 advantage. The Colonels added two more points during that third period on a freak play. On a second down play Rich Roshong fired a pass to end Joe Skvarla who was triple teamed in the endzone. The intended pass was pick- ed off by P.M.C .'s Joe Piselli at the one. Piselli carried by his backward momentum faded into the endzone where he was tackled by an alert John Jarvela, to give Wilkes a safety and two more points. In the fourth period, Doug Forde, a sophomore speedster, added another six points on the scoreboard for the Colonels via a 19-yard scamper. Purta 's kick was good, extending the Colonels' lead to 29-9. Completing the day's scoring was freshman whiz Joe Zakowski, who again brought the large aggregation of Wilkes fans to their feet by jaunting 24 yards to paydirt. Purta 's final conversion attempt was good, giving the senior standout his fourth placement of the day. In the statistical department Wilkes recorded 20 first downs to 10 for P .M.C. The Colonels hit on two of six passes for 19 yards while the Cadets completed IO of 27 for 119 yards. Offense wise, the Colonels amassed a total of 372 yards to the Cadets' total of 146. Closing out their college career, all four seniors had rewarding days. Al Yatko was voted the game's outstanding lineman as he made nine first tackles and assisted in seven others. Rich Roshong had his best day of the year racking up 52 yards on eleven carries. Lowery, who finished the season with 308 yards gained rushing , smashed for 30 yards in 13 carries. Purta added two touchdowns and four placements to give him a total of 58 points scored for the year. A fifth Colonel, Ralph Hendershot, was injured in the Drexel game and was forced to sit out the game.

We were allowed to ·exchange' positions with the teacher after we had written reports and were prepared to lecture from our material. The essence of our papers was rather simple, but the reports varied. A familiar topic was "Things that Happen at Home. " I'll wager that our teacher received a great deal of letters from parents pleading, 'If you don 't believe everything Johnny tells you about tis, we won 't believe everything we hear about you .' " Harold Green , one of the two members in the sociology department, further discussed various aspects of his education. " After my teaching experience in the third grade, I became student Harold Green once more and at '.ended grades four through twelve still keeping in mind the possibility of a teaching career." In high school Green belonged to the debating team and wrote extensively for the school newspaper. His articles usually pertained to music and frequently referred to the works of Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Brahms, and Strauss - men for whom he holds great esteem. Linguistic Circle Proceeding to the college level of his student career, Green spoke on his experiences at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. "I was accepted on full scholarship at Adelphi where I majored in psychology and sociology. For two years, I was presid ent of the psychology club, and for a period of time also vicepresident of the Adelphi chapter of Psi-Chi, a national honor society in psychology." Green went on to explain that while at Adelphi he cultivated an interest in fencing and Green later attended Teacher's College at Columbia University. His first intention was to explore the social and philosophical foundations of education. However, he disliked the stuffy cl;mate at Columbia; and because of h is foreign home background, he was attracted to the graduate faculty of political and social science at the New School of S?cial Research. The school is composed of eminent scholars such as Alfred Schutz in the field of sociology and philosophy; Thorstein Veblen in ecoru>mics and sociology; and Bernard Rosenberg, author of ANALYSES OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY, a sociology text used at the College. Some of the scholars at the New School had escaped from the Nazis during World War II. This led t? the school being nicknamed "The University in Exile." HAROLD D. GREEN Friday, November 11, 1966 "It was at this 'University in Exile, ' " ex plained Green, "that I decided to major in sociology and minor in political science, since I was especially interested in Soviet studies. In 1964 I left the New School for a period of time to attend the Max Weber Centennial in Heidelberg, Germany. I was able to listen to various people, including Weber 's relatives , talk extensively about the German sociologist and his contribution to the W eimar constitution. help ed to co-found " The Linguistic Circle," an organization whose function was to make comparative studies of languag es.

At last he h;:i s made it; his confidence floods back a s he thinks of the ingenious behind-thescenes reporting that he will be hailed for . As he cockily draws his pencil and starts looking for King Arthur he is halted by a sharp, "What's that page doing off stage?" Suddenly there is a mad scramble of scenery workers all running towards him from different directions. The poor reporter's plea~ of explanation are muffled by a huge powder puff being slapped over his face, then checked by a sudden burst of applause coming from somewhere beyond those bright lights on which his chin is now resting . All confidence has been left back stage, and he realizes he is going to be very sick if he doesn 't get out of there right now. He manages a muddled, "Hark, is that the Queen?" and starts for the wings, only to be stopped by a huge nail biting into the bottom of his leotards. He now faces his biggest decision of the night: modesty or escape? He decides to try for both. As he sheepishly edges away , he becomes aware of the rapidly rising length of his leotards and the large accumulation of yarn attached to the nail. Through rapid deduction our frantic reporter calculates that the yarn will run out three feet after "back stage" but in an embarrassing lunge he is reminded of the fact that he flunked Math IOI. Camelot was presented in its opening performance to the student body last night accompanied by the usual grandeur of a Broadway premier. A recap of the Camelot caper is as follows: The flood lights of the theater illuminate the endless line of studentdriven Volkswagons, Yamahas, and other impressive conveyances. The drivers leave their richly attired dates at the steps of the theater. After parking their cars, the men then take a t:ixi back to rejoin their dates and to participate in the light gossip enveloping arriving couples. As the crowd lingers in the lobby, a confident reporter hurries past the usher, flashing his Beacon card, and proceeds to fall flat on his face - with the slight help of the usher 's foot. The reporter is sourly informed that his card does not grant his entrance, and he is sharply pushed aside by the usher ( obviously a member of the Ides). The reporter, brushing shoe imprints off the back of his coat, indignantly approaches the ticket booth and is rebuffed in a like manner by a curt charlatan - and best friend of the usher - who informs him that the only way he will be admitted to the play will be by purchasing a ticket, all of which are sold out. The reporter has now come to the realization that the only way he is going to cover the CAMELOT story is by BEACON ingenuity, by an intelligent approach, but unfortunately the usher doesn't want to step outside and fight your grandmother, the karate expert. Suddenly our frustrated reporter is enlightened by the perfect solution. By donning leotards, bloomers , and a cape, he would not be questioned and could easily enter the stage door without notice. His only problem is getting past the policeman on his corner. With a limited amount of comments the gallant reporter finally makes it to the stage door, nonchal□ ocoooo□ o□ o□□□o□o □o □oa□oca □ooooo□□□ooooo□oOOCXJoo BOOK & CARD MART Now there is nothing left but suicide, and since the caf is not open our poor reporter doesn't know wher~ to turn.

The reasons are many for these changes, the main one among them, however, being a result of extremely low grades in their previously chosen fields. And during spring registration, even more will decide to change for the same reason. It seems a shame that all these students should have to be burdened at the start of their "new" college career with the poor grades they made previously. It could be pretty discouraging for anyone to know that from the start he would have to pull up a 1.13 cumulative average merely to remain in school. The low average weighs down a possibly high cumulative for the entire four years, not just for a semester or two. It is a lasting stlgnta. It might be possible to offer the freshman about to change his major an- option such as this: if he proves himself after one semester in his new field and if he meets the College's grade standards, he may consider the first semester ( or year) as completely erased from his new record. Or, if he does not wish to make up the work of that entire period, he may keep it on his record. The choice could be his. The one major objection. to this plan is that a student could take advantage and stay in school indefinitely, changing his major ever year ( to avoid the draft, maybe-). by Richard L.

Perhaps the most important concept that man has ever conceived is that of Brotherhood - Le., Brotherhood used with the broadest possible meanings. It is on this concept that the fate of man rests.

Dev, visiting professor Wilkes College I must thank the management of the Beacon for the kind publicity they have given to my humanist ideas of life in the October 28 issue of their paper, which I read with considerable interest. With all my limitations, humanism is very dear to me, and for more than two decades, I have never wearied of searching for "the black cat" of peace in the dark chamber of a humanist philosophy of life. I don't think I have been far wrong, either. In a world divided against itself. where traditional religion as well as modern science is unable to square with basic human needs, in their mean perhaps lies the key to a better world. To me as to countless others, I presume, humanism, more p r e c i s e I y broad-based humanism, means this and nothing else. It has been a fashi,on (I wish I could call it a decent fashion) to describe philosophy as a blind man's search for a black cat in a dark room in which the cat is not. lgnOl'ance is sometimes at least an excuse for precision. This catchy, humorous account of philosophy I am prone to place before beginners for relaxing the intellectual strain in the plodding process that philosophy might and does /11t._ v0lve. But often enough, it has hacl iJ 1 contrary effect.

A criminal by society's standards may well prove by our own values worthy of our friendship. Let us regain our individuality, our freedom, which we have surrendered to the omnipotent judge - society. You may refute· me· now by saying: since society is made· up of individuals, are we not, therefore, retaining our individuality but un~r a different name? But is it not known that the whole is greater or · lesser, or at least different from its individual parts? No Blind Acceptance The finest philosophic perception of Confucius is his recognition that "the measure of man is man." This humanistic idea of measuring man by man not only forces one to discover the true self, but naturally also results in the Golden Rule of Christianity and in the Chinese shw "Do not unto others what you would not have. others do unto you," I am not saying that institutions such as religion, etc .. are wrong or that they should not exist, on the contrary they are a necessary part of life. But when they are followed blindly, without each individual carefully questioning dogmas, concepts, etc., it ls merely substituting one form of tyranny with yet another. It is time that each individual be made responsible fOt' BROTHERHOOD. We alone must live with our consciences; we alone are accountable for our actions. As sura 82 of the Koran says: "When the heavens have been rent asunder, and when the stars have been dispersed, and when the seas have been commingled, and when the graves have been upturned, a soul will know what it has sent forward and what it has kept back." I RC by John Zalot border, the U.S.S.R. might accept a confederation between East and West Germany if certain terms were met. Because of their fear of an aggressive Germany, the Soviets would demand the total renun·ciation of the production, use or possession of nuclear weapons by any German government. In the next few years, a reunified Germany may become an actuality. Recently the West German Social Democratic Party chairman Herbert proposed an economic union between East and West Germany. Most Germans are in favor of some type of confederation. Now that West Germany is developing a foreign policy of its own and not just parroting the views of the U.S., it is possible th.a t high level talks between Bonn and the Soviets will result in new economic agreements. Having problems with their own economy, recognizing the want of more independence by the satellite nations of Eastern Europe, and looking worrie~ly at the Soviet-Chinese - '- Two Phases In my opinion, the unification of Germany into a confederation could take place in two phases. The purpose of the confederation would be to define certain rights of the individual, guarantee the rights of the states, and develop foreign policy and trade relations with other nations. .A!fter signing a treaty against nuclear weapons on German soil ( with inspection by both the Soviets and the allies if necessary), West and East Germany would enter into an economic confederation which would permit free trade and commerce within Germany. Products bought from East Germany by West Germany could not be sold in the Common Market to prevent the "dumping" of products on other nations. An organization consisting of representatives of each German state would regulate this trade. The prerequisite for the second phase would be the removal of the majority of American and Soviet forces from Germany. The new Germany would not consist of a llllion t,tt,,.

Section D top• ped the Dorm League with four wins and one tie. Heading the Independent League were the defending overall champions, the Trojans. Section D and the Trojans met head-on to determine the champion• ship, and when the dust cleared away, Section D emerged victorious by a 7-6 margin. The Trojans hit the scoring column first via the airways, but they were unable to annex the extra point, which proved to be their downfall. Later in the game, Section D picked off an errant Trojan pass and raced in to score. On the attempted conversion, Section D threw a pass over the middle and found a receiver alone in the end zone to give them the winning point. In the final week the Trojans posted a 31-0 victory over the Untouchables to advance into the finals . Section D and Miner played to a 0-0 tie. If Miner won, the Dorm League would have been thrown into a 3-way tie. Runners-up were the Frosh and Hainna with 3-1-1 and 4-1 records respectively. .Judo club is organized; will hold its lirsl meet I ' ' d .. ''· by Bob Thompson The judo club recently . received its charter from Student Government. Presently it has 20 members, all but four being beginners. James O 'Boyle is president, while Paul Solomon serves as instructor. Dr. Cox is the advisor. Meetings are held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday in the gym and on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 at the "Y". Anyone interested in joining may do so by attending one of these meetings. The team will hold its first meet against the city's YMCA team on November 29 at the "Y". Since most people are unfamiliar with the sport, the following will briefly describe it: Judo is a sport in which an oppon• ent's strength is used against him by means of speed, leverage, and balance. It is similar to wres.tling, but when it is used for self defense, it is called jujit• su. The idea is to score one point by throwing and/or pinning your opponent. A point is awarded for a clean, hard throw or for holding down your opponent for 30 seconds. A half-point is awarded for a sloppy throw or a 25 second hold-down. To win a match , '. ' only one point is necessary. The one point goes to the team of the winner ( none to the loser's team) , and the team with the most points wins the meet. Judo is divided into classes and degrees according to skill. Beginners are classified into degrees, six being unexperienced. They wear a white belt on their uniforms as a symbol of their beginning class. P.fter the six beginning classes, more advanced classes are reached. The last is the black belt with its several degrees. The person with the black belt is quite skilled, but he is still considered a beginner in comparison to the more advanced advocates who devote their entire lives to the sport and live by its philosophy. To move from class 6 to class 5 alone requires the execution of ten throws and three hold-downs, so the more advanced degrees require fantastic skill. · Scoring in the first half for the Booters were Rich Beck and Santo to give the team a 2-0 lead at the half. The team played an inspiring third quarter by scoring four times. The goals were by Dave Thomas, Joe Kiefer, Russ Jenkins, and John Santo respectively. The Colonels' offense was not the only key to the victory as the defensive squad, Manda, Kennedy, and Brewer particularly, deserve credit for preventing the Susquehanna offense from scoring. Goalie by Robert Thompson With two successful sports finished, except for post season playoffs, the .winter sports will soon becc;,me the center of attention. The first to commence its season will be basketball. Coach Ron Rainey's charges will face a tough season opener at Scranton on December I. Scranton is expected to be one of the top teams in the MAC, with all but one of the first ten players back, including ECAC AllStar Rhett Jenkins. This year Coach Rainey will be ably assisted by Bob Kerrigan, successful coach at St. Mary's High School. Kerrigan will be in charge of the junior varsity. With the loss of only one senior from last year's 5-14 squad, Mr. Rainey has an experienced nucleus to work with. But the holdovers will have to work hard to hold their positions from a talented group of freshmen led by 6'3" Herb Kemp and 6'6" Bob Okenfuss. Both are strong re• bounders and show great promise. A newcomer to the squad, but a junior, is 6'1'' John Swistovich, a good ball handler and an excellent shooter.

Coach Rainey has switched him to guard where he plays better, ,and where he will have a better chance to use his talents. In scrimmages to date Daniels has been particularly im• pressive. Other members of the squad are sophomore guards Carlyle Robinson, 5'10" and Dave Peterfreund, 5'1 l "; junior center Ned Podehl, 6'4", and 6'3" junior forward Bob Letts. Coach Rainey was pleased with the great enthusiasm, high spirits, and the competition which this year's team exhibits. They seem to want to win.

The formal will last from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., with music by Herbie Green's Orchestra. The cost of this affair will be $2.50 per couple, and the required dress is formal. It is open to anyone wishing to go. During intermission, entertainment will be led by Dean Ralston and the Lettermen. This half-time show will feature Christmas caroling and other yuletide entertainment. All couples will receive free Polaroid pictures, compliments of the Lettermen's Club. This campus athletic club plans to invite the entire athletic committee and members of the faculty to their holiday affair. This year the Lettermen are work- ing hard to get a large turn-out for this traditional formal. The dance committee chairman is Ralph Hendershot; other committeemen are being chosen now for the major work on decoration, advertisements, etc. The Lettermen report that their Homecoming raffle was a success, surpassing all previous marks; the proceeds came close to $1,000. These proceeds will go towards the worthy cause of providing a scholarship to the most deserving incoming athlete. The first prize, two tickets to the Army-Navy game, went to Mrs. M. K. Tarbart. Second prize, two tickets to a Broadway play, was won by A. J. Hoover. Third, fourth, and fifth prizes, turkeys, were won by Barbara Ohlin of Susquehanna Hall , Russ Hendershot from Forty Fort, and Joe Dougherty from Wilkes-Barre. ANDREW G. FREEMAN 1/tllgiclll Camelot Commended by Bill Kanyuck and Leona Sokash Cue 'n Curtain's production of Camelot under the direction of Alfred S. Groh was indeed a moment of magic. Lerner and Lowe's rendition of the Arthurian legends, while lacking significant depth, does make several comments on man's attempt to reestablish the world before the Fall, the world of Eden, and the deterioration of that world through man himself. In a play such as this , albeit rather simple, we really understood how finite, how limited are the perpetrations of man's aspirations. Man himself destroys his own dreams. But the dream is noble, and from this nobility of purpose arises the magic of Camelot. Love is the raison d' etre and the raison de mort of Camelot. It is Arthur's love for mankind (and therein is the reason for his and the play's emphasis on civilization), which brings about the creation of the Round Table. But it is also the love of Guenevere and Lancelot which b rings about its destruction. However, Lerner and Lowe intimate more strongly that Mordred is really to blame for the destruction of Camelot. And in such an accusation, their musical lo~es its ability to make significant comment because these writers do not see the dichotomy of good and evil in Lancelot and Guenevere and localize, instead, all wickedness in Mordred. Theref.<.>re, their play really becomes a struggle between one good guy, Arthur, two rather good people, Lancelot and Guenevere, ( who are, bye the by, attracted to each other because of fate and who, most importantly, do nothing wrong), and one thoroughly bad guy, Mordred. Lerner and Lowe's love triangle dominates the play and is one of the forces, albeit sentimental, which is no doubt responsible for the popular appeal of Camelot. The musical has several En.g le gives plans ol .Junius ~ociely by John Loughney Recently the Junius Society held a special election of new officers for the present academic year, I 966-67. At this meeting Tom Engle was chosen president; Sharon Daney, vice-president; Gail Hadsell, secretary; and Joe Buziak, treasurer. Chairmen of the six permanent committees and two additional ones are in the process of being named. The new president outlined the basic elements of his program and endeavored to answer two or three basic questions which have plagued the Junius Society since its inception. Among the new concrete ideas of the Society's program, a tutorial program is being organized to offer free aid to and history student of the College and to help on advanced course term papers. A room for the society is being sought; hours will be established when students requiring aid may find help. A program has been established for equal-sharing between the Wyoming Valley Historical and Geological Society and Junius Society of speakers, films, and discussions of each organization. The Junius Society is in the process of joining the Historical Society on a club membership basis and has been offered the use of that Society's meeting facilities for its own meetings. Members of Junius will also have open-research facilities available to them at the Historical Society. Several other programs and projects, which are now in the work- ing stages, will bring excellent, wellknown speakers to the College, plus fllms concerned with all aspects of contemporary and past significance, and discussion sections by and with other related clubs of neighboring colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The basic question of any college organization is membership; that is, how to increase the working force of the club. This problem is being considered by the new officers as the primary difficulty to be overcome. Since it is a lack of communication that plagues most efforts of this sort, John Loughney, the chairman of the membership committee, is organizing a high-level advertising campaign to bring to the student body, the faculty, and th e community as a whole, the purpose, the new look, and the new program of the Junius Society and the advantages of membership. Membership is open to any student or member of the faculty and special memberships are available to members or associations of the community. A second problem facin!J most college organizations is c.onHict of in, terests, resulting in competition of purposes and goals. To meet this difficulty, a steering committee consisting of the officers .of Junius, IRC, and CCUN is being formed to consolidate the programs and projects of each of the organizations. Each organization will remain a separate entity in itself, reserving joint projects for speakers, films and discussions. sound comments on life and the world, but Lerner and Lowe are just too simple. However, the magic of the play arises not only from the nobility of the love element, the nobility of the triangle, the nobility of the Round Table, but also from the transporting effects of the setting, lighting, costuming and musical numbers. Andrew Palencar's sets not only reflected the months of hard work spent on them but also captured the magical mood of the play and thus transmitted it successfully to the audience. Joan Tymchyshyn is to be congratulated for her professional and effective handling of the lighting which heightened the fabulous atmosphere of the play. The elaborate costumes aided in creating a medieval setting and added to the play's charm. The orchestra, under the direction of Herbert Garber, successfully transported the audience into the ma!Jical world of Camelot. Their exciting opening overture set the stage for an evening of g<.><>d theater, and their accompaniment was most professional. Some of the most exciting musical moments in the play were the production numbers; that is, the tournament scene in which the chorus, through their singing and gesturing, conveyed the suspenseful actions of the jousts; the Round Table scene in which the kni!lhts robustly damn ed goodness; and the scene in which tl-e chorus describes Guen ~ve r~·s cor,demnation to the stake, Arthur 's dilemma as whether to save her or let her die , and Lancelot's subsequent rescue of his lady. The Chorus, under the direction of Richard Chapline, is to be specially commended for its professional and precise performance. Eliot Rosenbaum's bass voice is to be especially singled out for commendation. Carol Cronauer as Nimue had a distinct supernatural quality about her voice while she sang "Follow Me ." Both of her appearances on stage captivated these reviewers. Rhea Simms and Bob Sokoloski complemented each other both in voice and in acting. Both had the physical aopearances which easily fit in with their particular roles. As Guenevere, Mrs. Simms not only played very well the part of the very feminine queen, but also -her clear soprano conveyed the gaiety, tenderness, and sadness require'fl in her various numbers. Perhaps '. her best performances were the scene in which she led the chorus in the singing of the "Lusty Month of May" and her sad , but resolute "I Loved You Once in Silence" during the bedchamber (Continued on Page 4) by Carol Okrasinski The Community Lecture Series, entitled "Contemporary Problems of Man," will commence next week in the Center for the Performing Arts.

As a Volunteer in Service to America, Goodman will spend one year working with the office of Navajo Economic Opportunity in Pueblo Pintado, Ariz. During the six-week training program, he completed classroom studies and gained field experience by working with a project that is similar to his assigned training site. Goodman, 19, a 1964 graduate of E. L. Meyers High School in WilkesBarre, attended the College for two years before deciding to join VISTA. He has held summer jobs as a lifeguard and a sea lion trainer in Atlantic City.

Whether this seething belligerence :s merely symptomatic of our generation is merely a side issue, suitable for discussion among the older generation or those of us who are perceptive enough to be aware of this attitude. The question, however, is that our student body has been aroused, perhaps more so than in the past, to question, to question, and to question. That students were dissatisfied with the administration's handling of the Tangerine situation is obvious. Out of the wailing for Linos the good that prevailed was the beginning of a concerted effort to establish some sort of rapport or at best contact with the student body and the admin:stration. However, now that the football situation is in the immediate past, those members of the student body unaffected by the usual lethargy on campus are beginning to raise the old issue of compulsory assembly. As exemplified by today's letter to the editor, some students are extremely dissatisfied with the general fare of a ssembly lectures. While we also agree with today's letter that there are some good assembly programs, many have been generally unpalatable to student tastes. Student displeasure arising from assemblies results from the quality of speakers brought in before student audiences. And the probable reason for the several examples of mediocrity which have been heretofore witnessed is that the assembly committee is trying to do too much. It is rather hard to expect brilliance Thursday after Thursday when the monies appropriated must be utilized for speakers who appear on at least twenty different dates. Misericordia had Mark Van Doren in for a lecture; King's had John Ciardi last year, and the word is that the latter is planning to bring in Eric Fromm. The monies appropriated for speakers for the present system could better concentrate on speakers of similar fame. Of course, such assemblies could not be possible every week. Consequently, the solution to •the dissatisfaction over assembly would be better speakers and fewer compulsory assemblies. Cooperation An interesting editorial appeared recently in the King's CROWN, concerning the sad lack of cooperation between our College and King's. The possibilities which the combined facilities of the two schools offer, if combined effectively, could produce effects which stagger the imagination. The first of these cooperation miracles would be a combined library for use by both schools. Picture, if you will, an ultra-modern complex built at a location in close proximity to both. Not hard, is it? Add the funds reserved by each for the construction of new libraries, and you end up with a library containing every book in print. (Would you believe a third of the basic minimum needed in each department?) Back to the realistic we come however, and offer a suggestion that would supplement the inter-library loan system with one of our own. Each student from both colleges would receive a card entitling him to borrowing privileges at both colleges. The method now in use is cumbersome, time-consuming and antiquated. A little trust and cooperation could go a long way. The second on our list of handy hints and helping hands would be a change in the College policy on credit transfers. We face the reality that every department' cannot offer every course desired. But watch horizons expand when we offer advanced courses together. Yes, we can now take courses at King's and receive credit but no grade. Firte, but think of what it does to your average; and then, you become slightly disillusioned. Another boon to this great educational system would be the sharing of our teachers. In this age of specialization the general practitioner is obsolete, but no one department can cover all the areas of specialization or emphasis possible. Why can't we take advantage of the wealth of teaching ability within our reach? To the world of car pools, secretarial pools and swimming pools we can add the teacher pool! We must admit that the technical problems of the above suggestion are extensive, but with a little patience and understanding they could be solved. The opportunities for improving the educational systems of both colleges, and the rewards they promise more than outweigh the difficulties. So what if it takes two weeks to register at the gym? Maybe now there would be something worth registering for.

Dear Editor: At a recent assembly John Hen ry Faulk gave us our first completely enjoyable assembly program. H e accomplished what our previous guests failed to do. Mr. Faulk's topic, first of all, was broad enough to suit a large, heterogeneous audience such as assembl y . Humor, even limited by the word American, can be appreciated by almost anyone despite his individual interests. But such is not always the case wi t', , for example, a dissertation on poli tical issues in the corn belt. This narrower topic is better dealt with in special interest groups and classrooms, not in assembly. Furthermore , Mr. Faulk delivered his topic excellently. This is partly because he observed the basic rules which anyone should know before at tempting to speak to a large audience. H e spoke loudly and (despite his drawl) clearly; he spoke directly to the students instead of merely reading words to them, and he realized the value of intelligent gestures and appropriately placed anecdotes. Above all, he wanted to speak; he did not feel put upon as most of our other speakers apparently have. Lacking Good Programs I have seen definite things lacking in assembly this semester; Mr. Faulk has now given me the chance to point to some of them, in I hope a constructive manner. What I have pointed to, however, is altogether too obvif.>us to escape the attention of those who plan assembly programs and then make them mandatory. I conclude that these people are no more interested in providing g,ood programs than the students are in seeing the resultant poor ones. I also conclude that if the purpose of assembly is to create the feeling of unity among students, assembly, at present, is failing miserably . Looking at the assembly calendar, I predict five more programs this year worthy of the general interest of a group as large as ours. The other programs will be presented by, and undoubtedly for, special interest groups. Therefore, I ask the administrators and others responsible for assembly: Wh en will it end? Assembly is doing nothing for the students, and the present situation of compulsory attendance is mere pedagogism. Please provide students with a reasonably pleasant hour once a week or r id them of their ball and chain. Roused From Slumbers To the student body I ask: When will we make it end? We have to eat, but we can eat what we are fed, or we can choose our own diet; united, we have a choice. If assembly, then, is wasting our time, let us not shuffle feet, squirm, whisper, and generally "'mbarrass the speaker and our school; let us simply stay away. Together, we can hope to brave the bogy of compulsory attendance, but what is more important, perhaps our mass nonattendance can rouse some slumbering program planners and administrators to do something about a currently sad situation. The College Bulletin affirms that " . . . the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free ." Name Withheld D ear Editor: Seven month s ago I assessed the needs of the student body and made seven campaign promises based on this assessment. I asked you to vote not for the man but for the policy. I believe that the May '66 election was the first to be run on policy.

I have opened these four doors to you and whether you choose to pass beneath the portal of experience is a decisi,on you must make. The establishment of a council of presidents is now under consideration ( for the purpose of establishing new lines of communication) . The fi rs t meeting of all club presidents was held in September. Eleven clubs, many of which are now the most audible in their gripes, were not present. A critical survey of the role of clubs was undertaken this summer. The result was a new policy of fostering, as much as possible, the idea of orientation to the community. I do not mind personal rebuke or group criticism when it is based on facts; but the reaction as to the non functional nature of Student GQvernment was based not only Qn stupidity, but equally on ignorance. Do not misconstrue this statemen t of progress as idle hornblowing. I am against the patting-yourself-on-thc back attitude. In the face of the often times destructive criticism which was leveled in the past weeks, I feel the need to point out the non-factu al basis of such criticism. The continued support of the many who help will hopefully not be endangered by the few who speak with barbed words which do little more than project inner disorganization and apparent lack of purpose. Matt Fliss Honor code talked about Due to the present discussion over the question of an honor system. the Beacon interviewed Matt Fliss, chairman of Subcommittee A of the Aca demic Integrity Committee in order to clarify several points that arise from a study qu estion of this type. What is academic integrity? Students would have the opportun itv to choose whether or not they woul:I want an honor system which would not only regulate the classroom but also their general behavior. Would the administration have more control? No. If the students accept the responsibility of honor, they accept the obligation to put it into action. How would they put it into action? Student Government could possibly institute a student judiciary and a student legislation. This would mean that students would have the right to try their own peers under laws which they have enacted in their legislature. What if an individual student does not want to accept an honor system? There is a possibility that if the student body establishes an honor system, only those students willing to abide by the system would do so right now. But one of the requirements of applying for admission to the College would be subscribing to the honor system. Thus, we would avoid ex post facto legislation. All new freshmen would be under the system, and in four years the entire student body would subscribe. What does an honor system do for the student? Student responsibility at many schools has meant that students were asked for their responsible opinion in evaluating the faculty and in evaluating the administration. Would these evaluations be fair? The right to hire and evaluate lies with the Dean of Academic Affairs - we can only suggest. Thus, the administration would possibly not fire an instructor because of students' critical reports. And the faculty would realize that the basis of an interpersonal relationship is trust and that (Continued on Page 4) �Friday, December 2, 1966 WILKES THE HIGH POST Tangerine Apttl by Walt Narcum It seems Doc Farley went into a huddle and called for a quarterback sneak. It might have worked, except he forgot to tell the rest of the team about the play. To make up for it, he called an audible at the line of scrimmage, but it turned out to be too little too late. The Colonels were 8-0 in regular season play, but lost a post-season game to the administration. It wasn't that they didn 't try, but simply that they were never given a chance. It's a shame! Not only the Colonels, but the whole school were the losers. A chance for the Colonels to prove how good they really were, a chance for individuals to advance their careers, a chance for Wilkes to get nationwide recognition: all were lost due to a shortsightedness all too common at the College. Maybe things will be different, but it isn't likely. A Modest ProJ)f:)Sal There's another letter that should have been written, and that one should have gone to the Lambert Bowl Committee. It was well known that Wilkes was number one in the mid-season balloting for the Bowl and unless something was done soon Wilkes would probably win this honor. Now it is too late, the Colonels have won the Bowl and an unwanted decoration has found its way to Wilkes. Just think of the expenses that would have been saved by a well-timed letter. Money would not have been needed for a nail to be put in the gym wall or to pay the people who will be employed polishing this trophy. By taking this decisive action, other clubs would have been encouraged to do their best, confident that they would never be burdened with unwanted honors. As it stands, the clubs will become very apathetic just by thinking of all the honors that will be forced upon them by the administration . New York Times Gordon S. White Jr. in a New York Times article on small-college football players had some kind words for Wilkes. White said that Wilkes' Yatko has been an important player for the Colonels, and even though Al hasn 't been getting the headlines of players from large schools, he ranks with them in playing ability. We heartily concur with this opinion. If only we could have received some of those big time headlines, things might have been different. In this issue of the Beacon Russ Jenkins is featured as Soccer Athlete-ofthe Year. We would have liked to pick a football athlete of the year but haven 't been able to. It isn't because there aren 't any outstanding football players; on the contrary, there are simply too many to be able to single out one of them. Actually this is a healthy state of affairs. The best team is usually a well balanced team, and the Colonels certainly had that. The soccer team also deserves some well earned credit. Their complete reversal of form was gratifying to Colonel sports fans. The added experl"ence of the team plus the able direction of Coach Neddoff was the difference .. this year. Despite the hooters ' loss to Elizabethtown last week, they are still cochamaps of the Northern Division and this is quite an accomplishment; in fact it is the first time that a Wilkes soccer team has garnered this honor. COLLEGE Colonels are lirsl team lo lake Lambert Bowl Wilkes College will go down in the record books as the first team ever to win the Lambert Bowl, symbolic of small college supremacy in the East. Wilkes came out on top of the balloting by a wider margin than either the Division I or Division II champions. We are the only undefeated and untied team in the East. The Colonels received a total of 96 out of a possible 100 points with 6 first place votes and 4 second place votes. Trinity College was our closest rival with 88 votes. They received the other 4 first place votes. The Colonels were exceptional in that they never allowed more than one touchdown in any game. They held their opponents to 39 points while scoring 140 points on their way to their second straight MAC championship. Last year the Colonels were number 10 in the balloting for the Division II Lambert Trophy. At that time the Lambert Bowl did not exist as an award for small college teams. These are the top ten teams in the Lambert Bowl balloting: Wilkes .............. . 8-0 % Trinity .. .. .......... .............. 6-2 88 Swarthmore .................... 6-0-1 73 Alfred ................... ... ... 6-1-1 72 Bates ......................... .... 6-2 Cartland .. .. ............... 6-2 Cent.

Wilkes gridders place five players on MAC Northern Division team by Bob Thompson The Colonels, after dominating regular season play in the MAC Northern Division, also dominate the all-star team. The Colonels placed seven on the all-star squad and four received honorable mention. In addition, halfback Paul Purta was named Most Valuable Player. "' ,...}' Those selected for the team were: Bruce Comstock, Paul Purta, Dennis Spence, Joe Koterba, Al Yatko, and Joe W eindl.

He is a career a<lvisor for this branch of the servicf' ;-- nd assists recruiters in publicizing and interviewing people. "Recently, " explained Johnson, "the recruiters are particularly interes ted in ~etting athletic people to go to the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut and getting exservicemen back into the reserves." Johnson , who holds the rank of lieutenant, is also an assistant training and engineering division officer. The latter position includes charge of all below deck divisions. His activities with the Coast Guard have included a three day cruise to Bermuda and to San Juan last summer. When asked about giving advice to students as to whether college should be completed before entering the service, Johnson replied , "If a fellow has a choice, he should get his degree and then apply to OCS. It requires a degree and the ability to pass a physical fitness test. Classes commence in February and September. For approximately eighteen weeks, one takes instruction at officer training school in Yorktown, Virginia and serves three years active duty."

Through discussion at its open meetings, the subcommittee has decided to construct a feasible honor code which follows the plan outlawing lying, cheating, and stealing. to Wilkes - it must be idealistic in character and practical in application before it will be accepted." At the last meeting these terms were discussed and defined. The group decided that the use of dormitory files or previously given tests did not constitute cheating if old tests suggested the questions which would be given on recent exams. Many teachers , in fact, distribute executed tests to students as an aid in studying. Ron Rittenmeyer- "I believe that it would benefit Wilkes because it would create better unity within the student body. It would also instill more respect in the students for the academic program at Wilkes, as well as in people not directly associated with the College. " Pictured are Rich Roshong, president of the Lettermen, and Ralph Hendershot, chairman of the upcoming Lettermen's Christmas formal. Joan Brobyn- "It's been proven by some of the teachers that an honor system will not work, for there are always a few students who don't have the integrity to make the system work." The Lettermen will sponsor their annual Christmas formal at the Holi day Inn , across from the Veteran 's Hospital. on Friday, December 16. Music will be supplied by Herb Green's Orchestra, and dancing will A few students have compiled a skeletal form for an honor code which would be reasonable f o r Wilkes students to follow. The original plan of the subcommittee was to present the topic of adopting an honor code in assembly. They wished to arouse student intereest by inviting everyone to attend the discussions held in the new cafeteria lounge on Tuesday evening at 7:30 p .m. However, they have received a poor response thus far. Consequently, a small group is contributing to the proposal of such a system. An honor code suitable for adoption at Wilkes will be developed and presented to the students sometime next semester. In order to be established as a policy of the college, the code must be accepted by a quota of students exceeding the simple majority. Some students questioned said: Katie Eastman-"! feel that a system of academic integrity adapted to Wilkes will foster growth of the individual in campus life. But the main point is the adaptation of that system Balon, Littlefield exhibit works A senior art exhibit will be presented by Walter Dalon and Allan Littlefield during the week of December 10 to 17.

Mr. Roman Tymchyshyn announces that an exhibit of his Fine Arts 101 students will be shown in the Little Gallery in Exile in Barre Hall. The exhibit opened on December 5, and will continue to December I 5, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show will consist of twentyfour photomontages; this art form was developed by Andre Breton, the socalled high priest of surrealism. Breton described photomontage as "the marvelous capacity to grasp mutually distant realities without going beyond the realm of our experience and to draw a spark from their juxtaposition . . . and. depriving us of any system of reference, to set us at odds with our own memories." Those students exhibiting are: Bruce Fritzges, Mary Anne Jeffrey, Edward Lenalian, Patricia Bagdziunas, Barbara Gonzales, Joan Harvey, Theodore Levitsky, William Kwochko, and Sandra Kolbick. Also included among the exhibitors are: Kathy Price, Linda Carle, Cheryl Oram, Judy Grill, Donna Pegarella, Karen Winans, Patricia Novak, Linda Rockwell, Pat Brader, Frances Liva, Frank Zini, Janis Schiller, Susan Himelfarb, Jean Durako, and Carl Charnetski. the most from this type of program.

Large audience hears first lecture of series by Klaus Loquasto The Community Lecture Series, "Contemporary Problems of Man,'' enjoyed a large audience for its first presentation last Monday evening at the Center for the Performing Arts. The speaker, Andrew G. Freeman , executive director of the Urban League of Philadelphia and graduate of both Alabama State College and Ohio State University, discussed "Civil Rights and Race." As he spoke of sociological facts and personal experience, emphasis was placed on the present situation of Negro Americans and on the probable situation of Americans in the future. Concluding his lecture, Mr. Freeman entertained questions from the audience, many of whom show a genuine awareness of current race problems by their pertinent responses. doxically, a steady decline in Negro living conditions is now discernible . Negro earnings, Freeman pointed out, are decreasing year by year, and Negro unemployment is correspondingly increasing. Presently unemployed are approximately 25 percent of all able Negroes who apply for work; this , therefore, does not account for those who have "given up. " If Federal standards for poverty were used, in fact, 60 out of every 100 Negroes in America would be in poverty. As a result, Negro children generally receive 3½ years less education than white children, and this is inferior to that of whites. This, then, seems to perpetuate what Freeman called a "vicious circle." Also Freeman, are the early deaths of Negro parents. They usually die seven years sooner than do white parents. Freeman began his speech with a description of the urban Negro's present situation in the North. He first disclosed that the Negro populations in many major northern cities are nearing or surpassing majority. The white Anglt> - Saxon population of Philadelphia, for instance, is presently a minority group . Freeman then went on to consider some possible effects on the lives of future generations. He suggested that Negroes have "soft-pedalled the issue" too long and that the civil rights movement should eventually be accelerated. But he predicted that although demonstrations would probab- This predominance of Negroes in northern cities has been caused by an influx ( probably beginning after the Civil War) of southern Negroes in search of better opportunities. Northern conditions, however, were found to differ little from the Negroes ' previous state of living. To help alleviate these conditions in the cities, the Urban League was organized. It currently consists of units in 77 cities of the United States, and three of these branches, which include Philadelphia, are located in Pennsylvania. Although the Urban League intended originally to ameliorate Negroes, Freeman spoke of its present "interracial approach " in bringing all people together. The Urban League, he added, cooperates greatly with the N .A .A.C.P., which is known for its sober approach to racial problems and for its capable Negro leadership. Satire is topic ol Gutin's talk With the help of such organizations, great progress in the enactment of civil rights measures has been made since World War II. But para- Tonight, the third in a series of faculty seminars will take place in the faculty lounge of Weckesser Hall. Tonight's speaker will be Mr. Stanley Gutin, assistant professor of English. His topic will be "Satire: Laughter as a Lethal Weapon." Mr. Gutin intends to present a history of satire and discuss its appearance in and effects on various civilizations. He will also cover satire's development from other literary genres, cover its aims and explain why satires are written. Moderator of tonight's lecture will be Dr. Benjamin Fiester, head of the English department. The next faculty seminar will be held on January 13. Dr. Thomas Mizianty will then present his talk entitled "From the Hands of the Geneticist, Good Lord, Deliver Us. " ably continue, the general civil rights movement would become more sophisticated, by such means as legislation. Freeman further predicted that Negro candidates will eventually run for every office in politics; the mayors of many cities, for example, will be Negroes. This will happen because of the present change in Negro voting. In recent elections, the Negro vote has become more selective; more interest has been shown with individual candidates and with civil rights measures than with party affiliations. Now, because of large population of Negros in cities and because of the improved leadership among them, the Negro vote will become increasingly important in elections, and Negro candidates, Freeman believes, will ;ippeal to the total electorates. Freeman stressed that above all, the Negro must be granted first class citizenship, and he suggested several ways in which college students could help now. The major concern of college students should be for quality integrated education. They should encourage Negro high school students to continue into college, and they should, if possible, take summer jobs as social workers in slums and Negro neighborhoods, where the basic problem could be observed. In closing, Freeman reminded us that in a country where black people are in the minority and in a world where white people are in the minority, "we must learn to talk to each other." Alumni odopl amendments At the annual business meeting of the College Alumni Association, held during Homecoming Weekend, the following proposed amendments were adopted: During the month of March, each senior class will elect a president, vice - president, secretary, treasurer , and five trustees , each of whom shall serve for a term of five years. These provisions are to become effective as of January 1, 1967. �Page 2 WILKES Brave New World that has Ronald Reagan in it Merely looking at the context of the present in terms of the future, anyone could have seen that most likely there " ould be a clash between the governor-elect and the campus at Berkeley. One prevailing analysis of the Berkeley situation characterizes the hostility between the demonstrators and the admin;stration as symptomatic of the breach between the generations. Perhaps even more symptomatic of this breach is the election of Reagan himself. The constituency which elected Reagan was obviously not very perceptive. Obviously. Very few people with any perception would have chosen Reagan over Pat Brown. All of which indicates that somebody's crazier tha~ somebody else, and Mario Savio certainly is not the crazier ~ne. Reagan's election was a thrust on the part of the older generation to hold onto everything they hold dear, 1:ke crab apple pie and phony patriotism. These people, like Reagan, think that the gilded age was golden; and although they fought facism, most of them fought it for all the wrong reasons since many of these same people often take refuge in neo-facist and pseudo-patriotic ideas. Only a generation obsessed with seeing the good in the past would elect Reagan governor. And at the same time, the older generation unfortunately looks to the future in order to accomplish their so-called goals; that's why so-called moderates think that the negroes should move slowly and let another hundred years pass in order to arrive at citizenship. On the other hand, many college students do not see the future as a vague, nebulous messianic age. On the contrary, they see the present in terms of the future and not in terms of the past. They want the millennium now and do not want as a panacea for inaction the promise of its occurrence in the future. Our generation finds it difficult to see ahead since its vision is spectered by Red China, nuclear war, and obliteration. We have, consequently, a sense of urgency, and an impatience surrounding our present-day acts. Things have to be right, right now, for there is the fear that there may not be another chance. The breach between the generations is that the older is interested in the past or in the future, and that the younger is concerned with the present, with now. Guideposts to living The BEACON wishes to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to the students of the College. It is almost at the end of the first semester and not once have we given the students a blueprint for success at Wilkes. We would like to try to rectify this situation. Perhaps students may have divined the correct way for themselves by this time; however, there are some of us who are slow in learning. There is only one rule that the students must remember which can be stated very simply. Never advance an opinion if you can be associated with it. If you do, there are only two _c<_>nsequences which will follow. Both are harmful. Your opinion will either be completely ignored ( there are those students who are already familiar with this rule) or somebody will pay attention to it, which is just as bad because you will be severely criticized for such an unusual action. There are two popular ways to avoid being publically associated with any opinions or ideas. The easiest of the two is to avoid thinking of anything controversial (if indeed you must think at all). There are a few good books which will help those students who are not already proficient in this area. The first is Whether Mann's book entitled PREDICT THE WEATHER AND NEVER BE WRONG; or, GIVE IT TO THEM IN PERCENTAGES, and the second book is GOOD THINK by B.I.G. Brother. The second means to avoid expressing an opinion is probably a little harder to employ. It involves the association with a large group such as a mob, preferably one with over 200 members. By doing this, you are assured of remaining anonymous, and yet you can do and say anything you want with impunity. Once the students become well-versed in these principles set forth, they will be much better equipped for their trip through Wilkes. In addition the BEACON will be able to use page two for more important things than editorials or letters-to-the-editor. For instance, it might be used to present in toto the speeches of assembly speakers or the views of some organizations on campus that already adhere to the above principles. Once again the BEACON apologizes for not having acted sooner, but we never thought of it until now. WILK ■ S COLLEGE BEACON Editor-In-Chief • • . • • . . • • . . . • . . .

COLLEGE BEACON Friday, December 9, 1966 College's function lies in ability lo cause thinking by Richard Dalon Recently I read an article writ ten by Bertrand Russell entitled, .. The Conflicting Ideologies of East and West." He disagreed with the opin ion tha t the ideological questions play an important part in causing the tension between the East and West. He gives many reasons for this tension, but among the most important are that of the misunderstanding of fre edom and the constant reference to each other as " monsters:· with the s·t!:>sequent effect of fear. It appears to be a vicious cycle; each side believes the other, at any time, may attack and this causes hatred; the hatred increases the other side·s fear, and therefore the other side's armaments, and so it continues. However, Bertrand this solution: Russell offers "Each side must ackn<.>wledge that the destruction on both sides would probably be about equal and that nothing that anybody desires would result. Each side should say to the other, 'We have a common interest, which is to remain alive. We also have a common enemy, which is nuclear weapons. Let us conquer the common enemy and pursue our common interest in peace. Let us hate armaments instead of hating half of those who wield them. At present, both halves are mad, and each hates the other half for being mad. It is absurd that such a state of affairs should be prolonged by men with any shred of rationality. , ,, This problrm of nuclear disarmament, upon which the continuance of the human race may well depend , will soon find itself in the lap of today's youth , today's college student. Are they prepared to cope with this grave and burdensome problem? A better question might be, are our colleges and universities properly preparing them to face this and other similar problems? Reason, truth, knowledge Russelrs solution places the answer in the ability of people to think and act intelligently and compassionately. This necessitates the use of certain basic tools such as reason, an enthu- SG REPORTS by Judy Simonson, SG Representative Student Government has completed its proposal for the establishment of a president's advisory committee regarding pre-season and post-season athletic events and other sports matters. This committee is composed of and balanced by faculty, administration and students in order to provide a non-biased opinion concerning athletic issues which pertain to the Col lege. I feel this committee can work with Student Government to increase communication between students, faculty and administration. This group will formulate policies concerning preseason and post-season athletic events in addition to other athletic matters. The committee will meet at th e beginning of each academic year when it will elect its own chairman from among its members. Further meetings shall be called by the chairman or any member of the committee as the need arises. Also discussed at the last meeting was a steering committee for the CCUN, IRC and Junius Society, consisting of the presidents and vice-presidents of each club. This has been approved by SG. The purpose of this committee is to coordinate the activi ties of these clubs. However each club shall maintain its own identity. This is part of Tom Engle's proposed "bloc plan· · for clubs which had been discussed earlier this year. The Student Government is holding a Christmas tree decorating party today at 3 p .m.

It is the funct ion. therefore, of our colleges and universities to unceasingly strive to give these tools to the s tudents and guide them in their proper usage. It is not their function to inject the students with mere facts and figures, which they in turn regurgitate into a blue book. To be sure, it is more difficult and challenging for a professor to instill these ideas in the student, especially when he himself no longer possesses an enthusiasm for his own subject, but how much more beneficial it would be for the s tudent. This is of special importance for those who instruct in the humanities, particularly in the fields of philosophy, literature , and political science. Just how the student is presented with the material will have an incalculab le influence on his informal education; that is, the knowledge and wisdom he will seek when he leaves college. Turkeys But how often does the student, upon graduation, throw up his hands, and with a sudden burst of j<.>y and relief, declare his freedom from education, from learning, from books and therefore abandon the only meaningful purpose for existence? The facts and 6gures he learned in school will be forgotten the summer after graduation, but if he has been educated properly he will possess those tools or ideas I have spoken of, and then he will be ready and eager to embark on his new learning career.

Nome Withheld criticized Dear Editor: As a newcomer at Wilkes, I can hardly contain my bewilderment at the letter in last week's Beacon deriding the assembly programs. Why should th e disgruntled student want his nam e withheld from such a tame letter? Certainly not because of the administration's attitude. These men are so receptive to intelligent criticism that Dr. Farley even initiated a meeting for club presidents two weeks ago and went so far as to actively seek out suggestions from the students for changes in Wilkes' policies. Then agian, perhaps the student's timidity is not as paranoid as it seems. After all, nobody else has expressed a ny dissatisfaction whatsoever with the program in over two months. Apparently, then , 1.999 out of every 2,000 Wilkes students are resoundingly enthu siastic. Who can blame Mr. "Name Withheld " for not wanting to face 1,999 hostile, indignant students who might be afraid of being cheated out of their assemblies? They paid for them! Besides, some of those football players look pretty rough .. . Come, now. School spirit is fine, but isn·t violence carrying the enthusiasm for assemblies a bit too far?

The most frightening prospect for the near future is die possibility that either Israel and/or Egypt might develop nuclear weapons potentials. All the Arab countries and Israel are, and have been, developing stronger and stronger conventional deterrents, with emphasis on armour, air power, and conventionally armed missiles. Both Israel and Egypt have promised in one way or another not to be the first to add nuclear weapons to the middle eastern arms stockpile, but unfortunately neither country is particularly trustful of the other, and since there is no truly adequate system of inspection, each country would like to be as close as possible to actual development of nuclear weapons, "just in case". Consequently, each country continues to experiment with Israel in the lead. Where, you might ask, does the United States stand in the middle eastern turmoil? Until recently the U .S. encouraged and nurtured peace- College's function (Continued from page 2) Stuff a student, like a turkey, with trivial data and he'll riot and stomp his feet over insignificant campus problems; instill him with kindling wood for the fire of wisdom, truth, knowledge, and propriety, and he'll use his most valuable possessions - REASON AND INTELLECT. Formal education is paradoxically the most and least important form of education. Its importance lies in the fact that it is here that the foundation is laid for the more important informal education which begins upon graduation and never ends. This preparation, the erection of the superstructure, as it were, is the function of our universities and their professors. Educate students for this purpose, and they will be prepared to attempt the wlution offered by Bertrand Russell for world peace. Train the students according to Pavlov's method, and we will have a world of unthinking machines. $3,000 a year more But alas! This has all been in jest for I am aware, as everyone else is, of the real purpose of education. It resounds throughout America emanating from the press, the radio, high school advisors, statistics in magazines and articles, those who go to cnllege will earn $3000 more a year than high school graduates, M.A.'s will earn $3000 more than A.B.'s, and Ph.D.'s - their earnings are astronomical. What better reason can anyone find for education? ful internal development and did its best to stay out of local arguments. But, because of the increasing sophistication of middle eastern arms (facilitated in part by the internal development we fostered) , including the prospect of nuclear weapons, the fact that the United States is, to a certain extent, bound to aid British interests in the area, and the failure of repeated attempts at unity among the Arabs, deeper involvement has become necessary. The U .S . is helping King Hussein of Jordan to bolster his military power because he is pro-western, and he will act as a check against Nasser. We are also aiding King Faisal of Arabia by providing him with a more modern defense system. This is no doubt going to please Great Britain who has a certain amount of faith in Faisal. as well as guard our own interests in the area. Israel is also receiving military aid from the U .S . in the form of offensive Skyhawk bombers. Inner Turmoil At present any large scale armed aggression by the Arabs against Israel is unlikely. A good half of the Egyptian army is stuck in Yemen, and Egypt certainly couldn't fight a two front war. Nasser supporters in Jordan are giving King Hussein a hard time , and as usual the Arabs are watching one another suspiciously. The possibility of Arab aggression is ruled out for the present, but is there any possibility that Israel might feel that this is an opportune time to attempt to gain some concessions from a temporarily unbalanced group of enemies? The raids of November 13 indicate that Israel has something in mind. A student eating in the dining hall of Indiana University couldn't cut through his hamburger patty. When he finally did , he found a rubber band cooked in the middle. The dining hall officials explained that the meat is packaged in plastic bags secured with rubber bands and that one must have accidentally fallen into the meat. Seniors Evicted Because of a housing shortage, the Board of Trustees of Kutztown State College has announced that beginning in September, all seniors must live off-campus, either at home , in apartments, . or with approved families . Since i1n the past few years only about one-third of the senior class has lived on campus, the Board felt that it would be better to evict the seniors and make campus living space available to freshmen and sophomores rather than have them live off-campus.

Before the College acquired these three buildings, the clip-clop of lilorses· hooves, their snorts and breathing the sounds of their life echoed throughout every room , mingled with the talk of the stablehands as they went about their work, while the odors of horses, leather and hay permeated every corner. Spastic Engines One day these sights, sounds and smells gave way to the sight of gleaming metal - the horseless carriage had arrived. Soon, the sounds of spastic engines and frustrated drivers echoed everywhere; the smell of grease and gasoline erased the smell of horses as another life began. But then this too came to an end. They were sold. The College acquired them and turned the homes into Barre, Ashley and Butler Halls. Still, they sat unused in anticipation of the role in which th e College would cast them.

Finestein also states that 50 percent of the 18-21 age group have completed their formal education and are paying taxes, a fact which he labels taxation without representation. The Temple News editorial concerning the issue states that the " lack of maturity" argument is sheer opinion and has yet to be proven. It also terms as a very remote possibility the fea r that, with younger people voting, future campaigns would be keyed to a lower level - more irrational , watered down appeals to the young voters. Also in support of the issue is the chairman of the University's political science department who states that the earlier people are trained to take part in a democracy , the better it is for the system. Class Rank Abandoned Officials at Haverford College have eliminated the practice of evaluating students by their rank in class, a practice which they feel is "academically indefensible." Haverford feels that class rank is not only "imprec ise," but use of this criterion in Selective Service procedures is forcing draft-conscious collegians to sidestep courses which might be more educationally beneficial to them in favor of courses where grades are likely to be high er. Haverford officials admit that the emphasis placed on class rank by the Selective Service brought the issue to a head , but they quickly add that they have long been uneasy about an evaluation system that "compares the incomparable" and lets a tenth of a percentage point place one student ahead of another. Pictured above are the scale models of buildings which once stood on the site of Stark Hall. The display appears in the window of the o~ice of Stanley Wasilewski, a member of the math department, at the s ide entrance on Conyngham Hall. the infant mathematics department with its three members moved in. Now the sights and sounds of Mr. Wasilewski, Mr. Richards and Miss Hull were familiar in th ese buildings. Named "Mathematics Row ," these halls were soon in demand over the entire campus but remained in the hands of the math department. But a time came when even th ey had to give way to progress.

It is part of a collection which Mr. Wasilewski has put together depicting the entire campus except for the Center for the P erforming Arts.

Opportunities great lor summer abroad by Richard Maye The International Student Information Service (ISIS) Brussels, Belgium, offers a guaranteed opportunity to work abroad , year-round and summer, in an English, French, German or other language area for two or more months. To date more than 2000 young people have been placed in jobs abroad . Any young person 17 ½ (by the tim e he or she wishes to \:JO abroad) to 40 with a desire to work and live abroad is eligible. A forei\:Jn lanqua qr is not necessa ry but is helpful, for language and grades are not as important as sincerity. After one is accepted, certificates of good heal th from your doctor and \:JOOd conduct from your local police department are required. Friends may work together if they apply togeth er. There are nine categories of work available ranging from Special (office work , etc.) to Camp Counselling, Hotel, and others in Great Britain, Europe, Scandinavia. Africa, Japan, and Turkey. The jobs available are similar to the temporary or seasonal work you would find at home . Some participants stay six months or more; some work at several different jobs in several different countries with salaries the same as those paid to the local citizens for th e same work. The benefits are immeasurable. By living and working with th e inhabitants of the country of their choice, students become steeped in the culture and traditions of that nation and learn more about the character of the people who constitute that country than even the most sophisticated tourists. Although the student is working, th e advantages of the touris t are open to him. During his free time or before or after the term of employment, he can visit museums, universities, etc., make trips to neighboring countries, and while working enter into the cultural life of the town or city in which he lives. Other than the educational growth there is a corresponding personality and character maturation. Adjustment to an alien environment with new and strange people, speaking in an unfamiliar tongue demand selfreliance and resourcefulness.

The Colonels finished last year as the # 2 small-college team. The only graduate was John Carr, one of th e top wrestlers in the country . Coach Reese's objective is to start # I and stay # I . Some promising newcomers who could help attain this goal include: John Madia, Steve Kashenback, Steve Kaplan, Joe Thunnel. Danny Kauffman , Doug Forde and Brinley Varchol. College Judo Clu~ gains surprising tie with "Y" On Tuesday, November 29, the College judo club, coached by black belt Paul Solomon, gained a surpr ising tie, 7½-7½ . in a match against the YMCA. The " Y " team, composed primarily of green belts, jumped to a 4-0 lead against the Wilkes team composed primarily of white belted beginners. Wilkes then swept the next five matches through the efforts of Bill Derr idson, Dale Highes, Matt Buglehall , Don Good , and Bob Holub. The "Y " team came back to take a 6-5 lead, but a win by Wilkes' Jim O 'Boyle in double overtime evened the match at six wins apiece. Wilkes ' Walt Orzechowski and the "Y's" Hugh Hughes drew, and a victory by the "Y's" Don Hopkins gave them a 7½-6½ lead. In the final match, Wally Hrynkiw of Wilkes faced John McViegh who holds a brown belt. Hrynkiw played cautiously, and when McViegh went to the mat in attempting a throw that failed, Hrynkiw pounced on him and pinn ed him. The win gave Wilkes one point and a very surp rising tie, 7 ½- Last week the Colonels opened the cage season with a win and a loss. They were defeated by the Royal s of Scranton in the opener 85-69, but came back to defeat Ithaca at home 90-65. In their opener against a veteran Scranton squad, the Colonels were trying to gain their first victory ever at the C.Y.C . and to add a win to the lopsided series record ( Scranton 22, Wilkes I). The final score did not indicate the closeness of the game as the Colonels still held a I point lead with 6 minutes remaining. The Royals opened the scoring on quick baskets by Jenkins and Witaconis, but the Colonels came right back and were always within a few points of the hom e forces. A quick spurt sparked again by Jenkins and 6'6" Witaconis who scored easily under the boards gave the Scranton club a 10 point margin until the end of the first half. Coach Rainey used nine men in an effort to narrow the gap, but every tim e a few points were chipped away, Jenkin s would swis h a timely basket to hike the margin. Jenkin s, who is thought by many to be an All-Amer-ican prospect, hit 50 percent of his shots, all Ion a jumpers, and kept the defense spread out enoug h to give Witaconis plenty of room to work near th e basket. The Colonels never gave up and were down 13 points at half time. and both Jenkins and Witaconis were in foul trouble. The Colonels came roaring back in the second half on a fine team effort coupl ed with a strong defense. Led mainly by co-captain Sharok and freshman Kemp , the Blue and Gold narrowed the margin until they tied the score at 60-60 with six and a half minutes remaining . Kemp then scored on a foul shot to give the Colonels the lead for the first time. The lead changed hands several tim es until Royal guard Bob Moylan nave his team the lead on a long set ~hot. With Witaconis grabbing rebounds and tossing lonq passes to Jenkins and Moylan , the Royals broke the game open and killed the Colonels' victory hopes. The Colonels played a good game but were at a disadvantage both in heig ht and experience. Another deciding factor was the shooting. Scranton hit on 50 percent of its shots from the field while the Colonels managed only 37 percent. No individual could be singled out for his performance as it was a team effor t, but freshman Herb Kemp played an excellent game with ICICICICIRICICICICICICICICICICICICICICICICICIC BOOK &CARD Joe Stankus, the Colonels big man takes aim on another goal as the cagers scrappy captain, Mike Sharok looks on. Stankus also starred under the boards as he took charge of the rebounding department in the Colonels home opener. 13 points and 6 rebounds showing that he can be counted on in the future. Ithaca game Last Saturday the cagers opened their home season on a sweet note trouncing Ithaca 90-65 . Teamwork was the keynote with 5 players scoring in double figures. Captain Mike Sharok had 10 points. The Colonels dominated play from the first basket of the game scored by Sharok . The Colonels hit a high percentage of their shots and should be counted on to do this at all home contests. Coach Ra iney's charges, after an initial spurt , settled down with a ten to fifteen point lead for the remainder of the half, leaving th e score at intermission 46-33 . The first 10 minutes of th e second half ran the same until the Colonels finally caught fire on a series of fast breaks and some fancy plays to extend th eir lead to nearly 30 points. Ithaca pressed but to no avail. Throughout the contest, Coach Rainey substituted freely without losing effectiveness. This could be the Colonels" greatest assest in addition to their effective fast break. Reuben Daniels thrilled the crowd with his fancy dribbling which rendered the Ithaca press useless. Wednesday the Colonels played Lycoming College, Th e Warriors were th e top team in the M.A.C. Northern division last year and ha ve all but 2 of their first 7 back. Included are: Don Travis, Bob Barnhill, John O'Donnell, and George Young. They should again be one of the top teams.

In this critical period, however , none of us can be unaware that the promise and possibilities offered by science and technology are offset by the threat resulting from man's adherence to prejudice, bigotry. distrust . and outmoded patterns of thought. Can we not at this time give new significance to Christmas by renewing our faith in the willingness of men to respond to ideals that are supported by courage, conviction, and integrity. Let us restore the meaning of Christmas by making this a season of self-renewal. A Happy Christmas to all!

It is estimated that altogether the production staff, which consisted of students. members of Kiwanis, friends of the College, the cast, and orchestra, numbered approximately 125, which on any given performance was equal to more than one-fifth of the capacity audience of about 500. All of the public and student performances were sold-out before the show formally opened, leaving many people clamoring for tickets. All eleven performances were attended by more than 5500 people. Despite the tremendous psychological and academic strain on all students involved, Cue 'n Curtain felt that the performances and technical staging not only maintained a high degree of excellence but actually improved with each performance. It was agreed by all who worked on the show in any capacity that the production - which began last June and involved the construction of ten sets, the coordination of almost 200 costumes, the painting of three huge backdrops, rehanging most of the curtains, scrims and drops on stage, and setting almost 200 lights separately, a job which utilized every technical facility in the theater, many of which had never been used before - was a very satisfying and educational experience and well-worth the effort. Cue 'n Curtain would like to thank all those students and friends of the College who unselfishly contributed their time and talent to make Camelot the "magical'' show that it was. At the same meeting, Cue 'n Curtain also discussed their upcoming productions. The group has scheduled Shakespeare's Othello for April 19 to 22. This date coincides with Freshman Weekend. While not as large a production as Camelot, Othello nevertheless offers acting and technical challenges that the previous show did not. Tryouts for this production are open to all students and will not be held until early next year at a date to be announced. Interested students are urged to check the bulletin board in the theater shop for further information. A third production consisting of experimental workshop theater is being Iris Murdoch critic added to English staff by Richard Maye 'Tm the ideal dilettante. I don't especially like to specialize in fields outside my interest. To an extent, I take in all and enjoy it." Ann Romines , new instructor in the English department, is presently teaching freshmen writing courses. "The course isn't as bad as I expected. My freshmen are the most interesting people I've met at Wilkes." In Fayette, Missouri, Miss Romines completed her undergraduate work at Central Methodist College - a college slightly smaller than Wilkes. Here, she did, as a senior honors thesis, a paper on Archibald MacLeish, entitled "The Poet's Relation to the State." The topic concerned MacLeish's political involvement in relation to his poetry. Miss Romines believed the relation was not to the poet's benefit. "He tended to use propaganda." At Central Methodist, Miss Romines was also active in creative writing courses and belonged to a creative writing group. This group met at the homes of various English professors ~119/iJA cA11i1-r,,1111 Fiester earns doctorate by Paula Eike Mr. Benjamin Fiester, acting chairman of the English department, has recently passed his final oral examination for his doctor of Philosophy degree in English, and his thesis has been accepted by the doctoral committee without correction.

The contest, the Drama Festival, involves a series of one act plays; the contestants are finalists from the state. considered for February. It may take the form of dramatic excerpts from plays, dramatic readings, musical commentary and interpretive dance which will be presented to the members of the theater and all interested students and friends on successive weekends in February. While not meant to be a full-scale production, it is designed to introduce unskilled and inexperienced students, who are interested in acting, technical theater, music and dance, to the complex workings of our theater in a relaxed and entirely creative atmosphere away from the pressure of a production deadline. All students who would like to take part in theater productions, but were previously too shy to come out, are urged to take part in this unique form of theater. It is meant for beginners, and it is hoped that it will give them the opportunity to express themselves in a form hitherto alien to them. Plans for this workshop theater are still incomplete but as soon as details are made, definite tryouts and technical calls will be made. It is hoped that many students will take advantage of this unique experience of learning to operate the theater and to explore new directions in theater. Friday, December 16, 1966 After graduating from Berwick High School, · Mr. Fiester received his A .B. in 1955 from Wilkes. He then completed his Master· of ·Arts degree in 1961 from Bucknell University. Since 1956 he has been a member of the faculty, and from 1961 to 1964 he was on leave as a graduate assistant at Pennsylvania State University while doing his doctoral work. BENJAMIN FIESTER The acting head of the English department is presently a bibliog- rapher for the Modern Language Association, and was a contributing editor in 1965 for the Annual Bibliography of the Modern Humanist Research Association. Mr. Fiester is presently involved in research which includes an article on George Orwell, one on Beowulf, and two books: a critical study of Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, which will be a revised version of his doctoral thesis, and a bibliography for the Morte Darthur. Mr. Fiester is a member of the Modern Language Association and the American Association of University Professors. His major fields of interest include the English and Old French medieval romances, and the modern novel. He is married and has two children, Joni , age nine, and Autumn, one. Student teachers return lrom class experiences by Lynn Glomb The student-teachers have returned to their classes after participating in a recent field project. They visited high schools and elementary schools in the area, taking over the positions of teachers in their classes. They are now in the process of preparing reports evaluating these experiences. There is a total of 52 students who took part in this project. Twentyseven of these are interested in secondary education, 13 are involved with elementary education, and 12 are music majors. These students now hold. committee meetings three times a week, each committee dealing with a certain subject. At these meetings, they discuss the problems that face the department of the subject with which they are concerned. Heading the project are Mr. Robert West and Mr. Edwin Johnson. Mrs. Hammer directed the elementary phase. All of the students interviewed did enjoy the experience, and many wished that the project could be extended. Elaine Barbini said, "It's just a teaser; it's too short." She taught in an elementary school and commented that the thing she enjoyed most was the children, in fact, she could not help becoming attached to them. She found· that it is hard to treat each child equally. Some students are naturally more likeable than others because of their personality, they are more alive, and this is difficult not to show. Elaine was not at all scared of the project, since she has worked with children before and is very much at ease with a younger group. Dave Golias said that he, too, developed a close relationship with his students. He taught economics and history at the secondary level. His biggest thrill was seeing the progress of his students. He was surprised at how well-versed some of them were. He was able to mention some controversial subjects and they actually knew what he was talking about. Patricia Davis, who taught English, found it was a lot easier to handle the children than she had expected. Concerning the student-teacher relationship, she said, "It is necessary to keep it distant. You can be friendly, but you can't be friends." Pat was more frightened of the first educational classes at the college than she was of the classes she taught at school. She said, "I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did." When asked why he enjoyed the project, George Fetch answered, "Because I like teaching." George instructed mathematics students at Coughlin High School. It was interesting for him to have the opportunity to try the things out that he had studied. He appreciated being allowed to make mistakes and having them corrected with the advice and counsel of an experienced teacher. Cynthia Yarish felt that most of her initial insecurity was just nerves. After a few lessons, she realized that she knew much more than her students, and she gained confidence and was able to think more clearly. It happened that some lessons which she worked on and planned carefully, using visual aids, etc. , the students would accept blandly. Then some things that she did not plan, the students would respond to enthusiastically. She found that it was more of a challenge to be a little lenient with the children. This goes along with the modern trend encouraging creativity and individualism. She said, "When the student is not afraid of me as a teacher, he will tell me what to do, without my telling him." To Howard Gola, student-teaching was "an invaluable experience that anyone should go through who is planning to be a teacher." It was frightening when he entered a classroom expecting the students to be looking at him instead of his looking at the teacher. He found that the instructor must make the material challenging and interesting to the students. He also stated that you should develop a good rapport between the students and yourself; however, it is necessary to separate the stories from the serious problems when students come to you for excuses or advice. __,_ I----------- -NOTICEThe Accounting Club announces that election of officers for 1967 will be held Tuesday, January 10, in Parish Hall at 11 a.m. All members are urged to attend this important meeting. where different ideas and styles were discussed. At Tufts College in Medford, Massachusetts, Miss Romines completed her graduate work. After having done her undergraduate work at a small college, she stated, "I would have been overwhelmed in a monstrous school. Tufts is a college where the teachers can communicate with the individuals to a great degree, and the classes are small and allow for good discussions. " Miss Romines did her M.A. thesis on Iris Murdock, a contemporary British novelist. "Her style is fairly traditional, but it's how she uses the same set of characters over and over in all her novels. My favorite is The Bell which is theological with Gothic and realistic elements - a lot of fun to read. Most people have read The Unicom, similar to the style of the Bronte sisters, Miss Murdock's new book is Time of the Angels, but I haven 't been able to read it yet. " After completing her studies at · Tufts, Miss Romines was informed by a friend about Wilkes College. "I was very much interested in teaching at a small college and had the desire to live in Pennsylvania." Miss Romines would like to see at Wilkes a creative writing course and an honors program based on entrance tests or grades after the first semester. When questioned about hobbies, Miss Romines expressed an interest in art - Ryden and Copley, in particular - and in expressionism . She stated that the location of Wilkes in relation to New York is ideal for her pursuit of art. 'Tm surprised that the people in this area don't take more advantage of this opportunity." Miss Romines is also interested in music - Ella Fitzgerald and Barbara Streisand to mention a few of her favorites. "As of now, being in the Christmas spirit, I enjoy the collection of English carols by Benjamin Britten, entitled "A Ceremony of Carols." Other hobbies include r e a d i n g her specialty, American Literature, contemporary fiction, • poetry, and criticism - a variety. Because of h. r interest in the history of her hor1 .e area in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, Miss Romines belonged to tl1e historical society of Huston. She is also interested in old grave stone carvings. While at Tufts, she used to spend her Sundays examining the carvings in the old cemeteries. Eventually Miss Romines plans to obtain her Ph.D. but as of the moment does not have in mind any particular college or university. Young Dems to participate in conference The College's Young Democrats will be participating in the annual Washington trip and seminar program from January 26 to 29. Sponsored nationally by the College Young Democratic Clubs of America, the trip to the Capital open to all students, who will be given the opportunto hear Vice-President Hubert H .. Humphrey, Senator Robert Kennedy! Cabinet members, and Congressional labor and civil rights leaders. Students will be attending educational seminars on America government and will be participating in an issues conference as well as visit the White House, Capitol, Su pre me Court, and other historical sights. Several thousand students from all over the Eastern United States are expected to attend the conference. Approximately fifteen will attend from the College. Students interested in knowing more about the trip should contact Ellen Ramsey, campus trip coordinator. The College's Y.D.'s are also sponsoring a dance on January 6 in the College gym. Mel Wynn will play from 9 to 12 p.m. and refreshments will be served. Co-chairman of the affair are Andrea Gallet, club pres~·; ident and Howard Lander, treasurer.'• �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, December 16, 1966 Paga 3 Sonia Claus gives up ghost lo spirit of Communism by Edward Klimuska Santa, nightgown ma clash in dorm chimney by. Helen Dugan Deep from the center' of the cloudstrewn sky comes a sudden glitter, then it retreats and reappears again. As it grows larger, a distinct form is seen as it bobs up and 1down, to and fro, across the winter sky. There soon appears something that looks like nine tiny reindeer pulling a tremendous sleigh loaded down with dolls, and trains, and guns, and knives, and brass knuckles, and a huge ugly drunk with a big whip yelling, "Let's get the lead out, you lousy . . . . oops, well hello there boys and girls. Here it is Christmas time, and I'm bringing all you good little kiddies some more toys with which to drive your dear, sweet parents crazy. Well I must be on my way now; I've got a big college to take all these goodies to." I At about 10 p.m. Santa's sleigh, guided by a huge neon sign erected by the public relations department saying, "We love you Santa," hovers over the College where it is promptly stoned by the U .F .0 . club and forced into a hurried retreat to his usual landing spot - the Gies parking lot. As the happy little group climbs its way back to the surface, a cheerful jest is heard, "Where's the nose now bi 1 shot? Bright red . . . guide my sl• .gh . . . . why don 't you try unemployment at Union St.?" As the group digs out and re- assemblies, Santa takes off once more seeking a new landing strip or just a SIMPLE little parking spot. Two hours later we see Santa still hovering, Dancer and Prancer panting heavily, Donder and Blitzen laying across the sleigh, Prancer and Vixen plotting mutiny, and Rudolph throwing rocks .o n fleeing students. They fin. ally decide to have a Bing at old tradition and land on the roof of 36 West. Santa gathers his bundles, mutters something about going back to paperhanging, and down the chimney he goes with a bound. Once down he quickly looks around to make sure no one is there, then hurriedly whips a paper out of one of his boots. "Uh huh, check, right, oh here we are, 'That shook when he laughed like a .. . ' . . . they 've got to be kidding. Oh well .. Ho, Ho, Ha, Ha, Hee, Hee, Ho. O:K. wink, twist head, fill stockings." As Santa grabs for his bag, he is caught across the knuckles with a sharp chop from a little old lady with a long, night gown. "This is my dorm, and nobody gets_ in here after hour.s. Out . .. Ou.t (wham-whack) . Down the chimney - what will these college kids think of next?" As one Santa, eight reindeer, one sleigh, and a deformed moose with a rubber ball tied to his nose (Rudolph's got a weird sense of humor) goes Hying down the street, they are stopped sharply by the night watchman who informs them there is to be no demonstrations while he's around. They agree to disperse quietly. Santa, who merely slowed down to receive this pertinent information, now hurries his team onward and leaves an enraged watchman with a sleigh tred up his back. As they crawl to a halt, they find themselves in front of a quiet little ivy covered house. A spirit of good will seems to be emanating from its presence, and Santa is encouraged to try one more. As before, he is caught in the act, "Hey, who's there? Oh, it's you. Well, Merry Christmas yourself. Now what could you be leaving HAPPY NEW YEAR ~~ IDC gives annual Chrisl•as party The Inter-Dormitory Council will , ponsor its annual Christmas party on , onday, December 19, from 9 tc;> 12 p.m. at the gym. The Starfires, featur'ng Ed Pashinski, will entertain. Dean !alston once again will don his Santa suit to make his appearance. Refresh- ments will be served buffet style. All students of the College are cordially invited. Admission is free , but some form of identification must be presented. Mark Rosenbaum and Hallie Raub are co-chairmen of the affair. me this lovely Christmas Night? A scarf, wonderful . . . and a pop com ball ... ha ha .. . well th~k you .. . Oh something else ..• oh a footb ... . * #Whyyou!!!" And once more the weary travelers pick there way through the cold snow, broken glass and crushed cranberries. As Santa hears wild yelps coming down the street, he lifts his head to observe one little old lady in a night gown yelling, "Kill", one night watchman with a sleigh tred just yelling, a policewoman waving a summons, and a flaming football, all gaining rapidly on a very frightened little group. Santa lunges for his sleigh to his team, gives a shrill cry of a beaten man, and away they all Hy. But I hear him explain, as he drives out of sight, "Why me Lord ... ? " Editor's note: The following article appeared in the December 7, 1966 issue of the King's CROWN. It is being reprinted with permission of the editors. With deep and heartfelt sorrow I must regretfully announce· that Santa Claus is dead. Mr. Claus, world renown figure, promoter of the slogan that it is better to give than to receive, hearty soul and good Gibbons drinker, gave up the ghost last evening at the North Pole Hospital for Living Legends. Mr. Claus' sudden end resulted from deep wounds inflicted by a berserk seal while he was feeding his reindeer earlier this week. News of his death shocked all. World reaction was spontaneous and diverse. From the White House eloquent President Johnson in a brief eulogy said: "He was a good man. He was a darn good man. A fine Democrat, he will be missed by all. " In an -official proclamation he declared Dec. 25 as a day of national mourning in honor of Mr. Claus. Henceforth, this day will be designated as Clausmas Day. Needless to say, the Vatican is protesting the proclamation. As rumors began to spread concerning the tragic death, President Johnson announced the formation of a commission to investigate the possibility of foul play. The President made it clear that Chief Justice Earl Warren will not head the commission, but neither will Mark Lane. Speculation has it that Madeline Murray, seeker of SG lo line clubs guilty of lute 'future events' notices by Zig A. Pines Student Government, at its December 12 meeting, decided to remind all clubs that notices for planned social activities must be submitted to the S.G. calendar committee at least one week prior to the scheduled event. The decision came as a result of increasing conflicts that arose in the scheduling of social activities from various clubs' failure or tardiness in notifying S.G. In order to enforce the regulation, S.G. resolved to impose a fine of $1.00 per day for each day the notice is late. Judy Simonson and Barry Miller, members of S.G. and als9 of the newly established Club ,Presidents' Council, are presently drafting a proposal for the Presidents' Council that will be submitted to the organization in the near future. The proposal is designed to interpret the functions and organizational framework of the Council. Because of the increase in the number of thefts at the dances, S.G. legislated that all sponsors of activities must take responsibility for all articles. In order to .fulfill this responsibility, all clubs must institute a coat check system, under the direction of a supervisor, whereby all responsibility for checked articles will be assumed by the sponsor of the activity. The evident criticism concerning the present library environment from a number of Wilkes students was mentioned at the meeting. It was decided that a committee, under the direction of Jean Marie Chapasko and Mrs. Nada Vujica, would be appointed to investigate the matter. -Any suggestions relating to this matter should be placed in the S.G . suggestion box. The traditional Wilkes All-College Dance is planned tentatively for sometime during the Christmas vacation. A definite date will be announced next week. truth and wisdom, will chair the inquest. In Rome, Pope Paul VI was deeply moved. In his official condolences Pope Paul warned that St. Nick's demise will result in the "abomination of desolation" or something of that nature. In the ecumenical spirit, Protestant leaders spoke of the same dire consequences. Radio Peking, to the surprise of no one, greeted the news with joy. Its communique stated that Santa's death spelled the end of capitalism and referred to him as "a dirty old man." Back in the states, Barry Goldwater saw the death of Santa as a setback to the conservative cause, while former Vice-President Richard Nixon retreated to seclusion to study its rami'fications on his career. Even in Alabama George and Lurleen wept openly for what the former called a "fine white su·p remacist." Sen. Robert Kennedy, father of ten, was last seen ascending to the top Boor of the Empire State Building, followed closely by the press. And in Hollywood Don Adams would not believe it. At King 's the reaction was somewhat subdued. The administration is withholding comment and is in the process of setting up a committee to investigate the possibility of a public announcement. Student Government is doing likewise. It is rumored that t1'e administration may cancel the Clausmas vacation since there is nothing to celebrate. If this rumor becomes fact, all Kingsmen are urged to assemble at Weaver's Coffeehouse. After being properly "psyched up ," we will march on Holy Cross Hall, present our petitions and conduct a sit-in in the faculty parking lot. We hope this will not be necessary. With Clausmas only days away there is confusion in the midst of chaos as three and four year -olds are panicking the world around. Parents appear unable to cope with the situation. The United Nations met in special session to resolve the crisis, and it was determined that a successor to Santa Claus must be selected. France's Charles de Gaulle and the likeable Ho Chi Minh have volunteered their services, as did pugilist Joe Louis. The U .S. vetoed all three offers. The ideal choice for the position, jobless Nikita Khrushchev, remained unwilling to accept the job. To break the deadlock, President Johnson "suggested" jovial Hubert Humphrey as a logical choice. He accepted with characteristic enthusiasm. Replacing Mr. Humphrey as Vice-President will be '·'Uncle Milty" Berle, the Democrats' answer to Ronald Reagan. Shockingly, Mr. Claus will be buried at a secret Black Muslim rite next Saturday. Cassius Clay will offer benediction. Pallbearers will include George and Martha (in real life Liz and Richie) , Sonny and Cher, and Chet and David. Already Photoplay is romantically linking Mrs. Claus with actor Mickey Rooney. Although Rooney, a " husband" six times, denies it, Mrs. Rooney No. 6 is not a bit surprised. With the death of God last spring, only the Easter Bunny and possibly Casey Stengle remain as quasideities of international significance. Therefore, in these trying times let us ackknowledge that Santa Claus is dead but long live H.H.H. �WILKES Page 4 COLLEGE BEACON Friday, December 16, 1966 Jf<C 1tl'Utn U.S. disavows Rhodesia SG REPORTS by John Zalot Since most recent criticisms of Student Govt. have concerned a so-called 'Jack of communication' between Student Govt. arid the student body plus a subsequent lack of initiative on the part of SG. in matters pertaining to the student body, this report is designed to make students aware of one basic fact : any and all activity of the student body , represented as an individual or a club, has its fundamen tal roots in one source, STUDENT GOVT. of our present library. When questioned about the library conditions, the first reply , in the majority of cases, was a criticism of the building itself: it creaks, it's stuffy, the lightings is poor, the accoustics are bad it's meant to be a home, not a library. As an afterthough, the students added: the librarians can't be blamed for the building; they 're doing their best under such impossible conditions. The only real solution to th is problem is a new building, and that's on its way! Be patient, please. S - Spirit of the season began officially with the annual tree-trimming on Chase lawn. Tpis reflected the typical spirit of the student body - one person outside of Student Govt. was present. One final note: if any student finds it necessary to comment or criticize any remarks made in this report, please contact the individual writer o fthis article. All helpful hints will be gratefully accepted. by Jean Marie Chapasko T - Treasurer reported Student Govt. finances remain relatively stable; this is credited to the fine management of this year's Budget Committee. U - Unsung hero , Mike Babuschak. He was that one person who helped trim the Christmas tree on Chase lawn. Thank you, Mike, for your Yuletide spirit! D - Dance during Christmas recess. Barry Miller and Joe Gatto are attempting to arrange an All College Dance scheduled tentatively for sometime during Christmas recess. If they are successful in securing a popular band, they will formulate a dance committee and work out final arrangements. E - Enforcement of peace and order at college dances. Due to recent uprisings at the Friday night dances, Student Govt. has found it necessary to review a motion made by Alan Saidman on October 17, 1966, that proposes a new policy for college dances: the organization sponsoring the dance must provide a policeman to enforce peace and order during the length of the dance. This mot ion must be read two more times before it is accepted as Student Govt. policy. N - Notice to all clubs! It is now an official Student Govt. policy that all clubs will be fined $1.00 a day per every academic day that they neglect to return their activity forms to Student Govt. Remember: activity forms must be returned one week before the scheduled event. T - Timely topic in Student Govt. modernization: the Council of Club Presidents. Student Govt. has initiated a committee to formulate the basic ideas for such a council. Committee chairman Barry Miller will be assisted by Judy Simonson, Joan Kirschenbaum, Jean Marie Chapasko, and George Pawlush. G - Goal of Student Govt. - to provide the students of Wilkes College with a really great Spring Concert. Judy Simonson, organizing chairman, is working diligently to find the most plausible outlet for this future goal. 0 - Office of Research , a new addition to Student Govt. President Matt Fliss has appointed Judy Simonson to be in charge of this office. Her duty will be to become acquainted with back policies and precedences of Student Govt. so that they can easily be referred to as consistent records serve as guiding posts for future actions. V - Verdict regarding a Friday night dance. At one of the recent college dances, a Wilkes student reported a lost overcoat which had been checked at the door. Since the loss had to be attributed to a faulty coat-check-service, the club sponsoring the dance was made responsible for · reimbursing the individual for his loss. T - "Trial of the Library." It has been brought to Student Govt.'s attention that the library does not offer an adequate atmosphere for studying. After an informal investigation, it was discovered that the majority of students are anxiously awaiting the completion of our new library, and their impatience has caused a rather superficial criticism Dr. Dev gives Xmas message The United States should support the proposed economic e m b a r g o against Rhodesia. Previously the U.S. government had little active interest in any internal problems of Africa, but first the Congo crisis and then the Rhodesian problem have awakened the American State Department. Possibly, there are some who feel that the U .S. should support an independent Rhodesian g o v e r n m e n t against an imperialistic Britain. In fact the situation is almost the reverse of this; the native population had more representation under British rule than they have now. The present Rhodesian government is controlled solely by the white minority of that nation with little respect or representation for the vast majority of the population (anoth.e r Union of South Africa in the making) . Not only is Ian Smith's Rhodesian government an aristocracy, but it is also an illegal government. As a rebel government, Smith's aristocracy does not represent Rhodesia in the world A Holiday Thought by Dr. G. C. Dev From the early years of my life, Christmas has been a source of inspiration to me. Though born in a nonChristian family under the influence of liberal religious thoughts, since my college days it has been my practice to celebrate Christmas and share its spiritual significance. More than a decade back it has been my proud privilege to introduce Christmas as an annual festival in a hall of the University of Dacca in my country, Pakistan. Since then, Christmas is being celebrated there every year by the Christians as well as the non-Christians in full cooperation and understanding. The rituals of a formal worship: reading of the holy texts, Christmas tree and the cake, sermon and carols, make it a religious festival in the full sense of the word and add to its richness. This is quite justified, I believe. In a very real sense, the message of Christmas is universal. and not barred by limitations of age and clime. In a world about to be crushed under th~ wanton use of destructive powers, the futy~e of man lies in an abiding faith in universal love. Power has failed man and it is time we must keep it within bounds by love. Viewed rightly, this is what Christmas means and stands for . by Beverly Crocker Ed's Note: Mrs. Crocker is the housemother at 7 6 West South. God help me as I live this day to say kind w.ords at work and play, to have a smile for friend and foe, to spread your love each place I go. If I should fear in any way, If I should wonder what to say, Help me remember all day through I'm your child - I belong to you. From this angle we should look at the immortal utterances: "Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall be called the children of God. " Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth," and assess their importance for modern man perpetually in search of peace and almost invariably baffled with frustration and despair. True religion lies in peace, making for it and not in tension and conflict which add to human miseries and make the burden of man heavier. Through the column of the Beacon, I would now like to wish all concerned a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, a New Year of prosperity and peace. community. Britain, however, was going to overlook the rebellion if Smith would reform the government in order to give the entire population representation , but Smith refused. Economic pressure is Britain 's only effective alternative, and the U.S. should support this alternative. If the U.S. does not support efforts to either force Smith to overhaul his government or to eliminate it, these actions of Smith will appear to be favored by the U.S., and thus make America an enemy in the eyes of the other independent African states. Both the Soviet Union and Red China would certainly take advantage of any failure of the U.S. to force reform in Rhodesia by making the U.S. appear as a supporter of imperialism. They, of course, would become the "supporters .of free peoples against the imperialistic West." Therefore, if the American government wants to gain the respect of Africans while leaving no areas for Communists to infiltrate, it should strongly favor economic · pressures against the rebel Rhodesian government. It would be unwise at the present time for the . U .S . to attempt to overthrow the Rhodesian government by force because of its already overextended forces in . other parts of the world, but this does not rule out the use of the United Nations' police force if the economic methods fail. It is about time that the U.S. takes more interest in the affairs of Africa. Even though the maj.ority of the African states are neutral, this doesn't mean that they value freedom any less than we do. Supporting the economic embargo of an illegally established government would be the first step in showing the Africans that we care. Only by doing this can we ever expect to have the support .of the African nations both in the U.N. and in other world involvements. WHAT-WHERE-WHEN CONCERT - W. B.

Editorials Students no Candides The edge which the BEACON has recently acquired, honed on the representative tangerine uproar, is being criticized by the establishment. The anger appears to be fired by the fear that this blade would sever the umbilical cord which binds the College to the community. This fear is based on the fallacious assumption that the community expects the College to be a quiet, non-controversial haven, peopled with quiet, non-controversial sponges. The question is not whether the administration should present a peaceful facade at the expense of student freedoms, but whether this is what the community really expects. Campus publications are "by and for" the students. If at times misguided or hasty, they are developmental, a forum for growing thought and awareness. Students have the right, if not to affect campus issues, to discuss them. Yet each discussion of a controversial issue brings administrative frowns and is considered to be a major setback for the public relations office. Does the establishment really believe that the community looks with contempt on the College, teeming with teen-age radicals, merely because editorial comment, reflecting student thought, appears concerning campus news. That the community knows this is not "the best of all possible worlds" was evinced by the recent ousting of the mayorial system, aided by students. We believe that the community would prefer interested, active people, even if criticill, to apathetic nonentities. If the language is not reverential and diplomatic, it is student speaking to student. Let the publicity department couch the doctrine of the school in any terms it wishes. If "outsiders" insist on taking their news from the student source ••• Well-that says something doesn't it? Prof points out factors No Carpe Diem Reagan, again Dear Editor: Last week's editorial in the Beacon, entitled '" Brave New World that has Ronald Reagan in it," shows beyond doubt the depths to which the Beacon must descend in order to provide the newspaper with an editorial. The lack of knowledge of those who wrote the editorial is so evident that the editorial becomes completely ridiculous. For example, in the fourth paragraph, you state: '"These people, like Reagan, think that the gilded age was golden .... ·· Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Langua_ge defines gilded as, "That which is overlaid with a thin layer of gold or that which is coated with a gold color." In other words, your editorial had this to say: These people, like Reagan, think the golden age was golden. This is an extremely brilliant deduction on the part of your editorial writers. • Black IS the color While several articles in this week's BEACON seem to point toward a black Christmas attitude on the part of certain students, we would like to point out that these articles are merely symptomatic of our generation's disgust with the hypocrisy which generally surrounds many Christmas institutions. Crass commercialism often appears to have supplanted the religious meaning of Christmas. And when such commercialism is mocked, its satire should not be confused with a rejection -on the part of the satirists of Christmas religiosity. It is necessary to point out a difference between the material and spiritual aspects of Christmas since the feast should not be prostituted by sanctioning those activities which seek gold. We understand the profundity of the religious significance inherent in the celebration of Christ's birth. Let's only concentrate on that.

In the same paragraph, your editorial states: "Reagan's election was a thrust on the part of the older generation to hold onto everything they hold dear, like crab apple pie and phony patriotism." Your editorial gives me the picture of a bunch of gray-haired old people tramp I in g young persons on the way to the polls to hold onto something they hold dear. The truth, however, is that the state of California is a state with a very high degree of young people as a percentage of total population. In fact, California has been a leading state in a nationwide population trend where more and more of the total population is made up of persons under thirty years of age. You must not forget that it was not old people alone who elected Reagan. Surveys taken before the election showed a high degree of young voters planning to vote for Reagan. Would you believe that some college students voted for Mr. Reagan? Let me make this one final point. In your effort to find some material from somewhere to grace the pages of this newspaper, you have allowed yourself to criticize a man before he has had chance to prove himself, and you have ridiculed the electorate of the state of California. This, indeed, is a great accomplishment. Respectfully yours, Norman H . Kresge, Chairman Young Republicans of Wilkes May I comment on the editorial in the Beacon of December 9 in which the writer expresses the opinion that youth wants life now, without regard to the past or the future? I am not a parent, but as a teacher, I share with sincere parents two principle aims. Most parents and teachers try in varying degrees, first, to prepare young people in such a way that the young people can at the proper time meet the problems of life as mature independent individuals, and second, to teach young people how to share with their parents and teachers ( in our case, in a college setting) or other adults those activities which make life enjoyable and meaningful. The maturity sought for has four aspects (biological, social, economic, spiritual) no one of which can · be attained by a lone individual himself. Man has evolved as a social animal. and no individual can exist meaningfully entirely alone. Whereas the ability to concentrate on the immediate event is a tremendous asset to anyone, the reference of an immediate event has to be framed in terms of the past and the future. I pity the writer of the editorial because I think he has missed, is missing, and will miss so much in life by his shortsighted attitude. I am sure that every member of the faculty at the College pursues, in addition to his vocational interests, at least one vocational activity which he would be more than pleased to share with any student who truly seeks an enjoyable and meaningful life. I recognize the problem of communication between successive generations and am very grateful for what was passed on to me by those adults who took the trouble to get the message through to me in my early years. That the members of the faculty of the College are willing to communicate with the students of today and are making such an effort, I am certain. What is needed is a willingness on the part of students to consider what we have to offer and why we make the off'!r before they reject the offer. Respectfully, Charles B. Reif Explanation with strange questions about my letter last week. Honest, I was not REALLY presuming to speak for the inner workings of 1.999 students' minds. Won't some existentialist PLEASE explain that you can judge another's thoughts only by appearance? So my position remains firm. The College's present policies toward assemblies should be supported by the faculty unless the students indicate a well-ordered opposition. Whose side should the faculty be on, if not the students'? Peter Nitchie Student Voice Dear Editor: Please tell the person who criticized "Name Withheld" that he is not in the right when he assumes that the Wilkes College students are " resoundingly enthusiastic" over assembly programs. Hasn't he been reading the Beacon? Tell him to ask the general opinion, or, better yet, why doesn't the Beacon hold a poll in one of its issues to prove it? One Who Knows Assemblies, again Dear Editor: I wish to lend my enthusiastic support to last week's editorial on student self-expression. It's about time to stop grumbling in diffuse and ineffective spurts. We need to express ourselves roundly and clearly - how else can we build healthy relationships with the faculty? However, I honestly don 't understand why the Beacon so cynically advises all students to remain anonymous. What is there to fear? In view of Mr. Nitchie's enigmatic letter on withholding names, I should like to be able to lend mine to the cause. But enough of my good friends who knew I was writing the letter have cautioned me against it so that I have begun to wonder whether they are paranoid or I am naive. Name Withheld Thank You Dear Editor: Will the toils of a misheeded writer never cease. I find myself besieged Dear Editor: Please thank Mr. Stein and Mr. and Mrs. Tymchyshyn who chaperoned the art club trip to New York.

It was Christmas Eve, and "he" was coming. Outside, the noisy, wintry wind was playing with the rigid trees, decorated with the still falling Bakes of snow. Both combined to create weird animated images on his mirror. His ears had already accustomed themselves to the silence and his eyes to the darkness. Yet whispering noises of wrapping and talking had traveled to his room and reached his sensitive ears. Could it be "him" bringing his presents? Eventually, _ the mystery was too much of a temptation for his curiosity. Tip-toeing on the cold, bare Boor, he opened his bedroom door and ventured forth . Each footstep on the aged, wooden Boor was accompanied by an unwelcome cricket-like chirp. Stopping, he seriously questioned what he was about to do, and then stealthily poked his small head between the banisters. His sleepy eyes just stared at the strange, unexpected scene. In a daze, he mechanically walked back to his room to seek refuge. Somberness had replaced all lightheartedness. A warm tear slowly rolled down his cheek. His world of fantasy had crumbled, and he cried. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 6 Friday, December 16, 1966 Melba Toast and others appear at Prof's lecture by Richard Maye Did you know that celebrities have been visiting the lectures of a particular class at the College? According to the names on the role sheet, many distinguished people have appeared. The names which follow are the actual ones written during the fall semester. BULLETIN BOARD The Junius Society has presented to the College the three blue-spruce trees which have been presently erected on Chase lawn. The trees, twenty feet tall and nearly fifteen feet in circumference at the base, were decorated by the student body on Friday aftrnoon. The Junius Society also presented the five, eight foot, long-needle pine trees which have been placed in several dormitories. On Friday and Saturday, December 16 and 17, between noon and 3 p.m., there will be a $5 and Under Art Show in Conyngham Annex. Designed as an easy and inexpensive way for students to gain original art works, it is a novel idea here at the College although this type of art show is a relatively well-known idea at other schools. It is hoped that this experiment in offering inexpensive, quality works will continue and gain popularity. {Continued from Page 1) Wt:tO!S WHO Hall. He is vice-president of Student Government, a member of the senior class executive council, and was chairman of the Freshmen Reading Program. A psychology major, Allan plans to join the Peace Corps after graduation. Barbara A. Simms Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon, Barbara A . Simms resides at 133 S. Main St., Mountaintop with her parents Mr. & Mrs. Guy Simms. In her sophomore year, She was exchange editor of the paper and last year held the position of associate editor. She was a member of the Executive Council in her sophomore year and presently belongs to the Spanish club. An English major, Barbara plans to teach school on the secondary level after graduation. Antoinette M. Supchak Antoinette M . Supchak, daughter of Mrs. Helen Supchak, 6 Prospect St., Plymouth, is an elementary education major. She is president of Theta Delta Rho, has been on her class Executive Council for two years, was a member of the kickline, and is currently a member of the education club. After graduation, Toni plans to teach elementary school. James J. Urisko James J. Urisko, president of the Jaycees, is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Urisko, 335 River St., Forty Fort. He is a member of the Dean's List and was ·manager of the soccer team for two years. An economics major, Jim would like to attend graduate school and then teach on the college or university level. The show is open to the entire student body; the only request made is that all work be suitably matted. The Inter-Dormitory Council will hold its annual Christmas party Monday, December 19, from 9 to 12 p.m. in the College gym. Co-chairmen of the affair are Hallie Raub and Mark Rosenbaum. This year's event will feature a buffet dinner, entertainment by the Starfires, and a visit by Santa Claus (alias Dean Ralston) during intermission. Gifts will be presented to Mr. Elliot, adviser of IDC; Dean Ahlborn, Dean Ralston, the cafeteria staff, and the chaperones: Miss Millie Gittens, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Roberts. Invitations have been extented to all the faculty members and the administration. Serving as chairmen of committees are: Shelly Sheldon, decorations; Susie Kallen and Margie Shaffer, gifts; Sue Conners, invitations; Pete Reis and Pamela Eustis, food. Attire is casual, and men are required to wear suit coats. First on the list was Miss Melba Toast. I found her in perfect health although slightly on the thin side. She explained her weight loss as a result of the recent Broadway production in which she starred, No Pats on Me, a sequel to a former play, The Woman Who Came to Dinner. When questioned about her appearances in lecture, Miss Toast explained that she had had a burning desire to enrich her life, to butter things up and that one could always find a few lardheads in lecture. Chuck Wagon and T. Shirt have made several appearances. Both explained that they had recently worked as ranch hands but as of the moment were unemployed. Mr. Wagon stated that in lecture an employment opportunity existed, that is, an opportunity for Mr. Shirt and himself to do what they could with the dumb asses and stubborn mules found there. Next, I was able to talk with Sophia Loren. Miss Loren related to me the fact that production had come to a standstill on her new film BUSTING OUT ALL OVER. Excuse me, I meant to say, SPRING IS BUSTING OUT ALL OVER for lack of dogs. She directed herself to the lecture hall having been informed that behind those doors was a city pound with all varieties of the specie she was after. MERRY John R. V erbalis John R. _Verbalis, son of Atty. & Mrs. John Verbalis, 171 Park Ave., Wilkes-Barre, is a music major. He was the accompanist for the Mixed Chorus, the staff pianist for the Scranton Ballet Guild, the Northeast Regional Ballet Conference, and the Scranton Singers Guild. He belongs to the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra and will solo on March 6. A Dean's List student, John would like to attend graduate school and then teach on the college level and do concert work. Donald Duck happened to appear by mistake. When asked how this occurred, he briefly stated "Quack!" Interpreted, this means ( besides its face value) that when he asked the cop on the corner which way to Fantasyland, he was directed, of course, to the lecture hall. Al Capp was casting as was ·Mel O'Drama for some new characters to be used in comic and film strips respectively. Mr. Capp explained that he was revising his frequently used theme, SWINE (Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything), and thought some of the students in lecture might 811 the bill. Mel stated that he found numerous comics, and their antics were nothing short of perfection. However, he privately told me that comedians were not to his liking - "No real substance to them." Another disappointment occurred, this one to Quasimodo. The famed bell ringer of Notre Dame had heard of the large bells in lecture, but upon coming to class found them to be nothing more than dumb-bells. CHRISTMAS by Irene M. Norkaitis In January, 18 people will be starting their accounting internships with many well known firms. Among the firms the students will work for are: Laventhal, Krekstein, Griffith, and Company, Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia, New York; Haskins and Sells, WilkesBarre; Price, Waterhouse, and Company, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia; Authur Anderson, New York; Lybrand, Ross Brothers, and Montgomery, New York City; Baron, Strassman Company, Wilkes-Barre; and other local firms. by Frances Green I wonder how a man survives Who doesn't care or feel or see; I wonder if he'd realize That he too, has a destiny ... Who is it that calls upon the souls of men? That haunting monster with fate in his hand ls fate the life-force, the itinerate, Who sets the souls of men conquered? The student will work as if he were a permanent employee of the firm and will serve in the capacity of a junior accountant. He will receive $500 a month salary and will have to pay his own expenses. This will give the student a chance to gain practical experience in his field . If he performs well, it is possible that the firm will offer him a job on a permanent basis. During the internship, between January 23 and March 11. a member of the College's accounting department will visit the various offices and review the progress of the student with the person in charge of the department and also obtain the reactions from the student as to the experience he will be gaining. I wish that I could find the goal, More that I might seek the source To delve midst chaotic chance to find That unresolved mystery. A mystery whose face is life, Whose body embraces the toils of time, Whose limbs reach out, but never grasp Those answers sought. Could there once be a man who tries To find and at once discovers truth, Would he then be satisfied with life? Could he develop and live his youth? I also interviewed Cora Sweetwood, a former citrus tree; but now a real fruit. Miss Sweetwood is well-known for her sour puss. Her comment as to why she appeared in lecture was, "I seemed ripe for adventure." One of the most unusual persons appearing was Mr. Gene Shuffler, the noted playboy and author of You Move, and Shuffling Along. Gene stated that he came to lecture after having been denied the honor of presenting an assembly. The Administration vetoed the idea. The College policy is "No demonstrations!" They fear that something will arise out of the situation. Gene left the students with one remaining thought, "You can't take it with you." My last interview was with Chuck Roast, who appeared the day after Mr. Shuffler. Although finding the situation a bit hot, he was able to get things down to a simmer. Mr. Roast, Bertha Clutch, well known for her well seasoned in the art of cooking burlesque routine, was able to talk to (Adolph's taught him everything he me after her pornographic, I mean knows), has just as warm a personphotographic interview with the fea- ality as Mr. Shuffler or Miss Toast. ture writers of various magazines and Chuck related to me that he had come other publications.

Four newcomers broke into the veteran line-up and all won with three: Marfia, Kasehenback and Cruse winning via pins and Doug Forde taking an 8-3 decision. Defending MAC champions, Dick Cook and Al Arnould both won with Cook running up the highest score of the meet. MAC runner-up Jim McCormick also showed fine form by decisioning his opponent easily, 10-3. Co-captain Fran Olexy held his opponent to only I point in gaining his first decision of the year. The four newcomers won their berth on the starting team from experienced lettermen, attesting to Coach Reese's ability to come up with winners. In the lower weight classes, Reese can go with a wide variety of combinations adding depth to the team. The grapplers are out to repeat as The Colonels' Kaschenbach works for a pin against Martin of Delaware Valley. He went on to win via fall in 5:45.

He is Reuben Daniels, a 6 foot one inch business administration major from Chester, Pennsylvania. Last week against Lycoming, Daniels led the Colonel scoring efforts with 23 points. He was also the high man against Ithaca and Wagner. He is currently leading the Colonels in individual scoring with an average of 15.5 points per game. Daniels is not only a top scorer, but he is also one of the better rebounders on the team. When it comes to defense, it is not unusual to see Daniels blocking three or four shots a game. Daniels graduated from Chester High School. where he played basketball under Ron Rainey , the Colonels' present coach. While at -Chester. Daniels was voted Most Valuable Player and was a member of a team that compiled a 23-1 record. Last year as a freshman, Daniels earned a letter while gaining honors as the Colonels' high scorer. We look for even better performance from Daniels in the future. by Bob Thompson The Colonels played their finest game of the season, and for that fact the best game in several seasons, but finally succumbed to a veteran Lycoming squad 78-75. It seems lately the Colonels always give a good showing against the Warriors. Last .year they lost by scores of I 10-102 and 100-95. The high scoring Warriors were MAC Northern division champs last year with an average of 88 points per game. With the same personnel returning including All-MAC selections Travis and . O'Donnell, the Warriors averaged nearly 100 points per game in their first three contests. With this in mind, the Colonels concentrated on defense and held them to only 78 but were not able to muster enough points to pull out a victory.

The warriors used a fast break and managed to keep a few points ahead of the Colonels throughout the contest until they tied the score at 70-70. Led by Travis and O'Donnell, Lycoming extended the score to 77-75 and with one minute left froze the ball . The Colonels were forced to foul to stop the clock and Lycoming sub Jula scored his only point of the game putting the game out of reach of the home forces. The game was decided on th e foul line with Lycoming sinking 24 of 34 while Wilkes made 9 of 13. At a height disadvantage, the Colonels were forced to foul, and it was the difference in the contest since the Colonels led in field goals 33-27. Five Colonels scored in double figures indicating a fine team effort. Also most baskets were scored on assists. High for Lycoming were Travis with 22 and O'Donnell with 20. Daniels was again high for Wilkes with 23 points. Wagner The Wilkes cagers stepped out of their class last Friday night and were soundly beaten by Wagner College 89-44. Wagner, whose schedule includes the likes of NYU, Seton Hall. Fordham and Bucknell , scored the first two points and were never headed. The Colonels were again at a height disadvantage but like never before. The five Wagner starters all dunked the ball with ease, including 5' 1 I" guard Obey. The Colonels constantly had shots blocked and were out rebounded to the unbelievable margin of 63-22. To add to the Colonels' woes, the team arrived 25 minutes after the scheduled start of the game due to a breakdown and had to take the court immediately after a six hour car ride. Not at peak efficiency and playing a superior quint, the Colonels succumbed early. Wagner jumped to an early 16-5 lead and put in the second squad.

The annual event provided the student body with a brief respite before th e chaotic experience of registration the following day and the return to classes. During the day the students partici- pated in skiing at Camelback, skating at the lce-o-rama, or just relaxing at the Alpine Lodge. The activities of the day continued into the evening with dinner and dancing to the music of the Starfires. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Liz Slaughter as Snow Queen. Her court consisted of Jaqui Rubin and Laura Tarity. Miss Slaughter was presented with one dozen long-stemmed roses. Queen Liz, from New York City, is a resident of Sterling Hall. At the College, Miss Slaughter is a member of Cue 'n Cu rtain , I.D.C., the Psychology Club, the Ski Club, and the Cheerleading Squad.

BEACON Friday, February 3, 1967 FIGHT - page 2 NEITHER HERE NOR THERE RETURNS page3 Courses, loiled again! By Chris Sulat Students descend on the faculty at registration. Rasool discusses space and society by Paula Eike The second lecture in the Community Lecture Series, ··contemporary Problems of Man, " was held yesterday in the Center for the Performing Arts. Guest lecturer was Dr. Ichtiaque Ra sool. staff scientist of the Institute for Space Studies, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, and New York Un iversity. The topic of his speech was "Science and Society." The main text of Dr. Rasool 's lecture dealt with how science has made su~tantial contributions to the evolution of modern society, while the social revolution itself has, in turn , helped the progress of science. But today, he feels , two of the most advanced societies have reached a frontier in science, namely the Space Sciences. He considers the possible repercussions of this new development on science in particular and society in general a fascinating question that provides a very fertile ground for the most imaginative speculations. Dr. Rasool feels that we are on the verge of a new renaissance of scientific thought. The origin and evolution of the solar system is one of the oldest unsolved problems in human philosophy. Eminent philosophers like Descartes, Buffon, Kant and Laplace have pondered over this problem and have put forth theories on the ongm of the sun and planets. Two of the theories which are most popular at the present tim e actually stem from the basic ideas put forth by these scholars. The first theory , which actually originated with Buffon in 1745, held that the planets were created during a near collision between our sun and another star. According to the second theory, which is originally attributed to Laplace but has recently been refined by Kuiper, Urey and Von Weizsacker, the formation of the planets is a natural consequence of the star itself. If the first theory were correct, then .o ne would expect that the planets could only be formed when two stars pass by each other in a near-collision course. In this case our planetary system must be almost unique in the universe because we know that space is practically empty and the collisions between stars are rare. On the other hand, if the formation of the planets is a natural consequence of the condensation of a star, then there could be numerous earth-type planets in this galaxy alone. Important clues to the answers of these problems will be obtained when the first astronaut brings back a sample of the surface of the moon, and a (Continued on Page 4) "I feel that this registration ran a lot more smoothly than did those in the past," said Robert S . Capin, registrar. ··out of a student bodv of approximately 1,960, 300 students registered two days early . The rest of the students started at 9 a.m ., and the gym was cleared of 1,600 by 3:30 p.m. The teachers ' lunch breaks were staggered , which also prevented the registration from losing momentum." The only definite change that occurred, Capin noted, was that the class cards had the students" numbers and names on them instead of class sections. This gave the registrar and faculty more control over sections. When asked why students who work for the school were permitted to register early, Capin replied, "I understood that this is what happened previously. It was overdone, and many students took advantage of it. The only way to avoid a repetition of the situation is to eliminate early registration." Th e registrar remarked that the most difficult part of the procedure was "' the confusion caused by pre-regis tration forms that weren't available and by students who forgot their comptroller's receipts.·· Capin, who is also head of both the evening and summer schools, and teaches in th e accounting department, noted that the larger departments were very co-operative in opening previously closed sections. In reference to why the number of sections was not adequate for the students taking the course, Mr. Capin said. "We can tell primarily how many sections are needed, but because of changes in rosters, difficulties often arise. " A large number of classes was scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and many students have gone to Capin in the hope of changing inconvenient schedules. When necessary and possible, Capin helped them to rearrange their rosters, but, he remarked, "We will avoid any general p.o licy changes because of isolated cases. We are to blame for the crowding of classes into those three days. It was much easier to schedule them that way." Many students said that they would like to register by computers, although they did not realize that they would have no choice in scheduling the time of their classes. The registrar said. that he is definitely going to look into the possibility of using computers at the college but admitted that there are a lot of disadvantages to them. Capin also remarked that he would appreciate criticism as long as it is fair and _, constructive. In regard to the complaining done by students about registration procedures at the College, Capin said humorously , "This should be th e worst experience they ever have. " Dr. Campbell lo give speech on leadership The second of a series of three lectures on Community Government will take place on February 7. Dr. Alan K. Campbell will speak on "The Search for Political Leaders in Today's Metropolis." An informal luncheon meeting with discussion will take place from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.. in the Faculty Dining Room. Since th e size is limited, interested students should contact Dr. Mailey for reservations as soon as possible . At 7:30 that evening , at th e Center for the Performing Arts, Dr. Campbell will deliver his address to the public; a reception at 9 p .m. will follow. The series is sponsored by the S & H Foundation Lectureship begun in 1960 as a part of Sperry and Hutchinson's Program of Aid to Education. The College received its grant because of its proposed plan of studying the problems in today ·s metropolis. A professor of Political Science and director of Metropolitan Studies Program in the Maxwell Graduate School of Syracuse University , Dr. Campbell rece iv ed his doctorate from Harvard University in Political Economy and Government. In addition, he has had articles published by the Harvard University Press and an article entitled "National State-Local Systems of Government and Intergovernmental Aid" published by The Annals, May 1965. �Page 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, February 3, 1967 We Want Letters A pervading feeling on campus is that a student with a complaint to register or a question to ask faces noncommital answers, or worse yet, closed doors. It has been maintained that the doors of administrative offices are always open, and the BEACON has dutifully reported this assertion to the student body, albeit without much conviction of its veracity. Recently, however, our editorial staff received a pleasant surprise in the form of an invitation to a monthly question-andanswer session with Dr. Farley. At these luncheon meetings, we are encouraged to raise questions on any issue, and we are reasonably assured of answers that say something. We ask you to share this opportunity with us by directing any questions or complaints to our office, so that we may take them with us to the next meeting. We will publish Dr. Farley's replies in the issue of the BEACON following the luncheon. Nihil ad Absurdum There comes a time when we editorial writers find ourselves in the state of having nothing to write about. Nothing to get excited about. Nothing to explain, to praise, or to denounce. Therefore, we plan to start out listing those topics which bore us. No one wants to write about or hear about student apathy (we killed that topic early this year, remember?, when we said apathy is one of a student's inalienable rights.) And bad food in the cafeteria is a rather boring subject. Students do get tired of complaining about a situation which never seems to improve. We admit we have capitulated on this crusade. But at the same time, we know "their" tactics; therefore, our capitulation does not seem as bad. Curfews for women dorm students can only be improved when . . . Besides, most of us are dayhops; and we're all rocks and islands. Or so say Simon and Garfunkel. We never discuss Vietnam in our editorials. We mean, after all those college professors, priests, rabbis, ministers with their full page ads in the TIMES, can't make Johnson or even the other side see, what can we do? And the Pope has to contend with Cardinal Spellman, Bob Hope, Anita Bryant, and Joey Hetherton. Besides, civilian casualities and walking napalmed victims are to be expected in war. Or so says General Eisenhower, and he should know. We also avoid mentioning China in this editorial space. We figure that that country will be no real problem - at least for a year. The Red Guard (that's what happens when teenyboppers get too powerful. Parents of America, take warning!), frustrated actresses, psychotic Maoists, agitated technicians and other workers have all done their job rather well. And that's a victory for America, you know. Just like last year's slaughter of 300,000 communists in Indonesia was another American victory in the cold war. But, you know, we really do not like Sukarno. But that is a definite attitude, and we thought we were avoiding committment. The president at least is still characteristically boring. He's untouchable now that Bobby Baker is going to prison. "Pogo" will soon learn this and stop addressing Johnson as "Hi L." We also confess that we still get a little upset about Reagan, but that distress is soon fading. We don't want another letter from the Young Republicans. As far as Berkeley is concerned, it is also rather boring. The only thing that can save that campus is a blood bath, which unfortunately, we are expecting. We can see the tanks right now. Yes, and the molotov cocktails being hurled. Maybe this time the Hungarian revolution might be won. They rather parallel, you know. Which also reminds us of the Spanish student demonstrators at the University of Madrid. We can only offer them our support, and that's supposed to be a lot. Or so we're told. If you've noticed, the above is just another instance of some concern being expressed in this editorial. Well, we might as well go a little further by rejoicing over the fact that Jacqueline Susann's novel THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (you know, CARPETBAGGER stuff) is off the number one spot on the best seller lists. Hooray for the intellectuals! Speaking of that group, we're wondering what Marshall McLuhan is doing with them. We mean can the editors of VOGUE, GLAMOUR, and MADEMOISELLE be wrong in their championing and touting of his ideas? We can only congratulate the magazine editors of the Sunday TIMES who held · off mentioning him until last week. So we made some comments in this editorial on nothingness. Maybe our alienation is wearing off. Dollars and Sense It costs $9000 to keep a youth in the Job Corps for one year. This is more than 4 times the cost of sending a student to the College for a year. It doesn't take a mental giant to see something is wrong with the War on Poverty. The Job Corps was supposed to be beneficial to everyone (including Lyndon, who received quite a few votes for quite a few promises). The Corps, or corpse, has become a political football that costs the taxpayer too much. The blunders of the Job C::>rps are more tragic-comic than even those made in the field of For_e~gn Aid: they have paid life guards $10,000 a year at a J.C. Camp that had no pool, and they have condoned riots in the towns that housed Job Corps Centers because the towns supposedly had the wrong attitudes. If we didn't know Sargent Shr~ver was the head of the Economic Opportunities Act we would think the whole thing was produced by William Dozier (you know, BATMAN'S producer). Polemics take up space Complaint Editors' reply To the Editor: It is perhaps unreasonable to hope the BEACON will ever stand for an enlightened, stimulating editorial policy. Is it, however, too much to ask that a calendar of coming events be prepared with care? Such calendars in the past have ne~er been complete. Many events of importance in the school - sports n~ws, artistic activities, honors and activities of the students - never receive any notice at all. In my eight years here I have learned to accept this situation and am surprised when the BEACON takes notice of Senior Recitals, Town & Gown Concerts, Madrigal Singers, Wilkes College Chorus, or any musical event of importance to me. Your misinformation cost the Madrigal Singers part of their audience on [ a recent] Sunday afternoon, since only the people who read page two came for our actual program. The people who read page four will be there [ at a later date] . The Philharmonic date was incorrect as was the Little Theatre , It is probably better to ignoee these events as usual than to misinf«?rm the public. Richard Chapline Perhaps, you despaired of ever seeing your letter in print, Mr. Chapline. It is rather bad form to begin a letter of supposedly restrained complaints by taking pot shots at the student newspaper. This does cause antagonism, which is probably being expressed in this reply . We may concede that. In regard to your complaint about our giving inaccurate dates for various events, we point to the official calendar of the College which lists events in the block of the appropriate date. This calendar, alas, is not infallible as you must know. Events are often listed on the wr.o ng dates, most likely because of rescheduling of affairs after the calendar has gone to press. Thus, errors are born. We want to correct this, of course, and would appreciate the help of you and other faculty members, faculty advisors, club members and students. When you are looking at the date of your sponsored event on the College calendar, whether to see how near the date or just for the sheer joy of seeing yourself in print, well anyway , please check to see if the calendar date is consistent with the actual date.

We have been granted by fortune and the liberal minded members of the Ac ademic Integrity Committee a chance, an opportunity to prove to ourselves and to the Administration that we truly are the adults our L.C.B. cards proclaim us to be, The proposed establishment of an honor system here at Wilkes has given us a chance to demonstrate that we are capable of doing - thinking. We have been led by the nose and hedged about with useless, autocratic rules long enough. Our organs of self-government have been powerless too long. It is time that we stood before the Administration and showed them that force is not the answer, that we are capable of deciding for ourselves what is and what is not best for us. The time has come for us to prove that we are not the senseless, stupid, unthinking, sheeplike children they have regarded us as, but young men and women who have minds of their own and the ability and desire to use them. There are among you , people, like myself, who believe that the morass of apathy in which we have engulfed ourselves is too thick, and the will power is too weak for such a plan to succeed. It is up to you to prove us wrong, if you can. Why do you think the Administration works so hard to compel you to attend an apparently useless and obviously unpopular institution such as assembly? Why do they refuse to take student opinion into account when decisions are made such as in the case of our now defunct bowl bid? Why do they treat us like high school kids who must be ground into submission to every senseless rule? Because until now we have done nothing to deserve ei ther their respect or their trust. We have refused to support our campus organizations, and we have stood idly while they made our decisions for us, But now we have something which we can use as a weapon. A weapon with which we can fight the stilling paralysis of our collective will. An honor system provides us with the crack in the door, the first chance to prove that we really can govern our own affairs. From it who can foresee the next step. Already there is talk of an honors program .o f independent research which has long been needed but which has long been denied us because of the belief that we were not ready for it. There is even talk of granting the student a real share in the making of student policy, but all these depend on the student, you. We must prove ourselves; you must prove yourself, for many of us will be gone before the critical period comes. There is only one way for this student revolution to succeed , and that is not only to adopt the honor system but to make it work when it is adopted. We do not think you can , the fac ulty does not think you can, the Ad ministration does not think you can, It is up to you to prove us all wrong. Louis M. Chere Dear Friends: WILKES COLLEGE BEACON I read and enjoy the Beacon. Thought I would send this along because I feel this way about Wilkes. Best wishes. Sincerely, Jule Ayers �Friday, February 3, 1967 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Reader, novel discussed by Richard Dalon Much has been written about literature in an attempt to define, classify and determine its function in both an aesthetic and nonaesthetic role; there has been, however, a tendency to neglect the role of the reader and his relationship to literature. By literature I mean only those books which are in the strictest sense of the word literary. Thomas De Quincey classified literature into two groups: the literature of knowledge and the literature of power, the latter being defined as that !iterat~re which moves the reader; " it speaks ultimately, it may happen, to the higher understanding or reason, but always through affections of pleasure and sympathy." It is this literature that I am interested in, the novel. poetry, drama and the like. In discussing the importance of a particular type of relationship between the literary work and the reader, it should be understood that this has little or nothing to do with the significance of the work. The mere statement of how one feels about a literary work is not very significant literary commentary, although it should be a natural and pleasant activity. The personal reaction' to a work , however, can be a starting point for further investigation. One may go on and ask why he feels the way he does , or what there is in the work that causes his feeling. If, however , there is no immediate relationship between the lite rary work and the reader these questions will never arise , and the reader may just as well have read a cook book as Crime and Punishment. The first step in this relationship is, of course, knowing how to read; that is what should one look for when reading a literary work? What symbols, if any, does the author use, and for what purpose? How is the plot developed? What kind of characters is the author presenting? What is the ultimate meaning, theme, moral or whatever you wish to call it in the work? These are only a few of the questions a reader should keep in mind. Unfortunately, few courses teach a student how to read . The instructor is content to fill the hour with bits of information, to- /.ette,-J (Continued from page 2) Rhodesia Dear Editor: I had the opportunity to see the most recent edition of the Beacon while visiting the campus. I was favorably impressed with the paper in general. Th e pictures were definitely clearer, and it appears to be well written. I would , however, like to comment on two items I read in the paper. It appears that the writer of the IRC Forum was ignoring a great deal of our history in his attempt to be popular with Africans. Our own beginning was that of a "white minority," an "aristocracy," and an "illegal government" for fully nine years. Furthermore, more harm was done to those who opposed the "illegal government" in our country than Rhodesia has even attempted. Perhaps, nine years from now, he will have cause to regret his remarks as the nations of Europe had cause to regret their remarks about us. It was also rather disturbing to read that police will be in attendance at campus dances. It is disconcerting, to say the least, that our future teachers and leaders require an armed man among them in order to get along with one another. How far indeed have we proceeded toward the universal rule of law when the educated elite must guard itself from itself. Yours truly, Andrew Hassay Class of 1962 Thanks Dear Editor: Thanks so much to everyone who helped prepare the Inter-Dormitory Council Christmas party and to those who worked at the party. Sincerely, Hallie Raub Mark Rosenbaum Co-chairmen tally irrelevant to the work, such as Byron had a club foot and kept a bear in his room at college, etc. This may help pass the time and perhaps even make the professor popular, but it obviously gives no aid to the student. In most cases there is no attempt on the part of the professor to answer the above questions; indeed, they are never asked. The short story provides us with a good illustration of the importance of knowing how to read. Let us look for a moment at the master of the short story, Chekov. In the opening of Chekov ·s story, The Lady With A Dog, the first sentence reads: "It was reported that a new face had been seen on the quay; a lady with a little dog." The amount of information conveyed in that sentence is an interesting example of how important it is for the reader to be able to grasp its many implications at a glance. What do we gather from that one sentence? We gather altogether by implication , that the scene is laid in a port. We gath er that this port is a seaside resort , for ladies with little dogs do not frequent commercial docks. We gather that the season is fine weather probably summer or autumn. We gather that this resort is an unfrequented little place; for one does not observe new faces at big crowded places. Furthermore, the phrase " it was reported" implies that gossip is common at this resort. One might also infer the report came from a man, since that sex is usually more interested in the female. The importance in knowing how to read now appears obvious. Many times a book is read and then shelved, never to be touched again by the same reader; this is a great mistake common to the modern reader. When you re-read a classic you may not see more in the book tha nyou did before, but you may see more in you than there was before . Thus ten years ago, when first reading War and Peace, I did not see at all plainly that it is, among other things, about love - love between men and women, love of country, but more especially Christian love. Ten years ago Christian love did not. as it happens, occupy any great place in my mental world. Today, as it happens, it occupies a greater place. My age and the Bomb are responsible for that. Fifteen years from now , if I read War and Peace for a third time , it will, I am sure, affect me differently. One might say that tljis was not the author's intention, or this is not what the author means; bu / in a limited sense the author mearts whatever the reader wants him to mean. Once an author has turned a book loose in the world, it is everybody's book. Each reader - being properly equipped gets what he can or what he wants from it. "Misunderstanding" can be attributed to an author. Often the greater the author, the greater the diversity of "understanding." Beyond a certain point, no author knows what he is saying. Herman Hesse wrote in his introduction to Steppenwolf: "Poetic writing can be understood and misunderstood in many ways. In most cases the author is not the right authority to decide on where ·the reader ceases to understand and the misunderstanding begins. Many an author has found readers to whom his work seemed more lucid than it was to himself. Moreover, misunderstandings may be fruitful under certain circumstances." In a very real sense, a book is not a volume on the shelf. It is a relationship: an author-cum-reader relationship, an entity that is both and neither. The whole is greater than the aggregate of its parts. This is what is meant by literature in its broadest possible meaning, which includes the very important relationship between the reader and the literary work. Time's man of the year (Ed's Note : This article is being reprinted from the Collegiate Compendium. It originally appeared in The Dartmouth of Dartmouth College.) The suspense, built up to fever pitch over the past year, was broken. ·'Time's 40th Man of the Year, " began a letter from the Publisher, " is not an individual but a generation today 's youth. With his skeptical yet humanistic outlook, his disdain for fa_ naticism, and his scorn for the spurious, the Man of the Year suggests that he will infuse the future with a new sense of morality, a transcendent and contemporary ethic that could infiinitely enrich the 'empty society', If he succeeds ( and he is prepared to), the Man .of the Year will be a man indeed - and have a great deal of fun in the process . . . . " Time is right, as usual. Due to the quirks of demography (there are as many Americans under 25 as over), the sudden rise to riches of the teeny-bopper set, and the immense effect of American public education, the Now generation has taken power in the U.S. As Time points out, "this is not just a new generation, this is a new kind of generation." As Time fails to point out, the benefits of this coup d'etat are alloyed, to say the least. The Think Young attitude results in the new masculine image that panders to teenagers with everything from " bucket seats" and 400 kinds of shaving lotions to James Bond. Due to the youth market, Fun and Education are on their way to becoming the two biggest businesses in the U.S., for better or worse. Since Youth has become the big mystique, there is a pathetic scramble to Grow Up, and most elementary school students are snappier-dressed than 99 per cent of the College's men. Finally , the teeny-bopper dictatorship fosters the spectacle of being With It. As Tom Wolfe said recently, in all of New York you couldn ·t find three people to debate against adultery. They'.d be ashamed of not being With It. So \ •verybody reads Kierkagaard, drives , Detroit's pseudo-sports cars, watcheJ Mayor Lindsay walk on water, twists and shouts till dawn , and Swings until they make themselves sick. At last, a few Time executives and researchers get together ( after proclaiming London as the swinging city) and make Us "Official." How they Swing at Time-Life. As Mo T. Year said, "Well, I can always put 'Time Man of the Year ' on my grad school applications.'· Students use lights, mirrors GC studies 'psychedelic' art THE MINNESOTA DAILY, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn . Some students "see sound" and "feel color" in psychedelic art experiments in a General College art course. Jerome Gates, GC associate professor, was picked by the University as part of a team to develop such art in 1953. " Our purpose then was to experiment with the idea of making music a visual, as well as an aural, experience, " he said in a recent interview. He said most art appreciation courses seem to fall short of their goal because they only deal with formal aspects of art study. "Most of them deal with styles and never get to what happened to the artist in terms of creating," Gates said. To give students this creating potential , an art form had to be developed which would bring exciting results , involve large groups , and let a certain number do the actual work. The process Gates and the team developed involves the fact that light striking a polished surface can be reflected onto another surface. "With a hand mirror catching sunlight, one can trace patterns on a wall ; with two mirrors one can set up more complicated patterns," he sa.id. '"For all the complexity possible in this kind of play, most people quickly tire of the activity . This is probably due to the fact that the image cast by a rigid surface such as a hand mirror is limited to only slight variations from the actual form of the mirror, " he explained. "If the reflecting surface is flexible enough to be bent or otherwise moved during the performance, the images cast become dramatically alive ," Gates said. Page 3 Neither Here Nor lhere Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! Tramp! Tramp ! Tramp! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! No , gang, these are not the sounds of Jim Ryun setting a new record for the mile. Nor are they the sounds of the Grand Prix at Le Mans. These onomatepoeic little words are emanating from that annual rite of spring, that senior girls' delight, The Senior Rush. For you unenlightened senior men, the Senior Rush is the notorious spree in which the senior girls stage a last chance stand at grabbing a husband before they graduate. Otherwise , they will have to start all over once they are out in the big, cruel world, you know. Security, that old Linus complex, is really universal. To bring you guys out of the dark, we decided to perform a public service and interview the foremost competitor in the running for the big prize, one Miss Selma ··cupcakes" Freem. For the past few weeks we had been unable to get hold of Cupcakes - er, Miss Freem, that is, who is quite absorbed with the job at hand. But, to your good fortune , we finally caught her while she was lurking about outside her favorite haunt - the College Placement Office. So taken by surprise was she when we tapped her on the shoulder that she flung her note pad and pencil in the air, leaped into our arms with careless abandon, and began babbling, "I can cook, sew, wash, clean, pull plow and have many babies. I'm very attractive. Ain't I attractive? Huh? Just feel my - -·· "Er - uh - duh - uh - Miss Freem ," we interrupted , "we don't think we suit your purpose. You see, we just signed up for a two year hitch in the Peace Corps.'· "Whhaaa???" she screamed. "The Peace Corps! ! Don't ever cross my path again! The Peace Corps ! ! ? That's eleven cents an hour! Why that's n.o t enough to keep me in booze and cigarettes. Sir, I must ask you never to darken my doorstep again. And what's more, before you so rudely interrupted me, I had just gotten into a good position to overhear· that interviewer in there quote that guy a salary. He's being interviewed for a position with Price Waterhouse." ··well, we really are sorry. But. Miss Freem, why we are here is to question you about your modus operandi in the Senior Rush . Do you think that you could give us the lowdown?" ··well , I don 't know . I mean, it just might scare off some of the guys on my hope list. Not to mention giving away valuable secrets to my competitors.·· "Surely some of the other girls already use some of the same procedures that you do. And what's more, since we really want to get this story, why don't we, in order to protect an innocent like you, just call you Miss X? I mean, if we don 't mention that you are tall, gangly, blond with short shingled hair, nobody could possibly connect you with our Miss X. And we don ' t have to mention your bald spots, appendectomy scars, and itchy, scaly psoriasis. See, you 'll be perfectly safe." "Well, in that case - " she mused , pausing a moment to scratch her psoriasis. "'First of all ," we asked, " why this mad rush to get a husband?" "Well, the last time I went home to Flat Feet, Montana , my mother got rather violent because I had no serious husband prospects yet. 'Four years and ten thousand dollars and you still aren·t engaged,' she roared. She also went on about what good are all the clothes from Bendel's and Bergdorf's if you don't have a husband yet. Why, she even threatened to cancel my subscription to Glamour. It was terrible. She just kept yelling and raving and frothing at the mouth. Well anyway, I don't want to go into the generation gap at this point ... What was it you asked? Oh yes. Why I want a husband? Well , other than having my mother go bats, I'd kinda like one. And everybody knows that college men make the most money outside of construction workers. Besides, somebody has to pay for my charge accounts. " "Yes, of course. How can you tell if someone is good husband material?" "You mean S1.>meone from around here? That's easy. They start looking interesting if they don't wear white socks. And, if they wear loafers and a vest, well, you just ask to be introduced to that guy. If they smoke a pipe and get razor haircuts, you make sure you get intr.oduced. And, if they are majoring in something up at Parrish and not in art or English, well then, this plus the other attributes that I mentioned and whhooopee! ! ! You just get a date and get all sorts of involved. Unfortunately though, you cant' find everybody with all of these perfections. I mean, every body has some tragic Baw." "What 's wrong with guys in art or English?"" " Why the first type will usually be poor. Unless he 's doing photography on the side. The second will be poor too. They only get jobs teaching or in Civil Service, you know, GS 5 rating. Anyway, both don't pay much. Or, they have to go to grad school which is really privation time for anyone interested in them. Anyway, both types are so aesthetic, so intellectual, real or pseudo, and so uninterested in money, that I tend to avoid them." " Really?" "Yes, really. I swear on Queen Esther's Rock. " "How do you go about meeting good husband material?" "As you can see, I usually hang out here around the Placement Office. Here I can find out one way or another who is getting what job and how much they are going to make. On slow days I usually go up to the King's Placement Office. When I really have time, I go up to The U. I even take a course or two at night to meet all the stragglers who I miss at day school. I always work in the Boston Store or Pomeroy 's at Christmas and Easter. One never can be too lax. But, I manage. I really do." " Yes, we see what you mean. Now then , how long is your current list?" We watched aghast as Miss X pulled out a roll of toilet paper with pertinent information concerning each prospect neatly typed on each tear sheet. The roll just rolled along all the way from the Placement Office down to Chase. By the time we reached Chase, we realized that Miss X had quite an extensive operation. After rolling up her roll, she stopped to answer our question. " My roll isn 't quite as long as I'd like it. I mean , a girl likes to pick and choose." Then fr.om out of her purse she took a banana and started stuffing it in her mouth. '"Left over from lunch," she mumbled in her banana. "Chasing men all day gives me a huge appetite that I have to satisfy." "Of course,'' we said understandingly and left her there with something. �WILKES Page 4 POET'S CORNER Ed's note: The following poems were written by a former Sports Editor of the BEACON, Clark Line. Oh, I would love you 'til my life be drained Of ev'ry hour. 'Til memory be strained Thru hourglass or fingers of your hand. And yet I wonder, in my thoughtfulness, how many grains of timeless falling sand Must pass the narrow neck, before you wish no longer for my faithfulness; Or come at last to say you love me less. I am like an emptiness where sunlight seldom dances 'Midst the gray of shadowed forms I have no mem'ry of. The former lights of laughter, life and love Have left me dark . And yet, there's still a part of me that prances In the failing light of yesterday's delight. And thru tomorrow's haze, I wonder where my sunshine then, As dreaming turns to done ... and wond'ring comes to when. So swiftly do my swallow hopes attempt to fly, But wingless, waste their efforts on the sky, And fall in downward pirouette To silhouette Regret Against the ground . Come with torches and lanterns and weapons. Bury the bleeding Christ with your other dead. See the scarlet rider on his scarlet steed . There the Pale Commander, DEATH, directs the reason in the spheroid brain, in the cornerless confusion of a drowning mind. And many million looking on to watch the brutal spectacle, The degradation, The suffocation, The Crucifixion of mankind . COLLEGE Applications available for SSQT Applications for the March 11 and 31, and April 8, 1967 administrations of the College Qualification Test are now available at Selective Service System local boards throughout the country.

Scores on the test will be sent directly to the registrant's local board. Western Electric Co. Scholarships donates lab equipment 'n Jobs A class of scientific equipment from the Wes tern Electric Company and Bell Telephone Laboratories has matriculated in a unique program of industrial aid to higher education at the College. The equipment, which consists of J9 types of electrical and scientific apparatus, has been donated to the school as part of a sustained commitment to higher education. Some 500,000 used, surplus and industrially obsolete items from Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell Systems and Bell Labs, are collected each year and distributed to engineering and scientific laboratories of more than 500 colleges and universities. Basically, the Bell System's longrange purpose is to strengthen scientific and engineering education. The Bell System's College Gift Program, administered by Western Electric, began in the 'Twenties with the donation of 18 surplus oscilloscopes to several northeastern schools and has grown to a size dwarfing this modest beginning. The project has become so large that it takes a special catalogue and eleven storerooms scattered around the United States to warehouse them. Over the years gifts have ranged from thermistors small enough to take a grasshopper's temperature to a microwave antenna large enough to register radiation from the stars. Applications are now being received for the summer internships in government and politics to be awarded in the 1967 competition sponsored by the James A . Finnegan Fellowship Foundation . Open to any Pennsylvania college student wherever enrolled, or to any non-Penpsylvanian enrolled in a Pennsylvania college or university, the competition 1_ closes on March I, 1967. By that time , all entries must be on Ille at the foundation headquarters, 5,10 North Third Street, Harrisburg . Applications are now available there on written rel}uest by any eligible student interested in exploring the possibility of a career in government or politics. SENIOR JOB OPPORTUNITIES SG REPORTS The Heart Fund Concert will be held this spring through the cooperation of the student governments of Wilkes, King's and Misericordia. The gym will be the setting for Paul Revere and the Raiders. Freshman Class nominations were held on Thursday, after assembly in the gym . Emphasis was placed upon having adequate representation to prevent the disorder which might arise by the failure of class officers to achieve the academic standards set by the school. Mike Clark, Sophomore Class president, presided. Freshmen are to vote in the Commons today from 9 to 'I p .m. The art club, represented by Joe Stallone and Mr. Roman Tymchyshyn, requested and received funds for an experimental art fiesta . One feature of the art fiesta will be Cocteau 's Blood of the Poet. The students' reaction to the fiesta will be the determining factor in deciding whether to continue the fiesta . Club presidents, IDC, Beacon editors , and dormitory presidents are requested to meet February 13, at 7 p.m., in the new cafeteria to vote upon the honor referendum. A suggestion was made to originate an internship program for presidential nominees so . that they may become familiar with the responsibilities of the job. Another suggestion was made for a constitutional change so that class and student government election would be held in mid-April. Both suggestions must be cleared through referendums. Rasool Discusses (Continued from Page 1) seismometer installed on the moon starts looking for moonquakes. The results of these experiments will have a great impact on human thought and may have very far-reaching consequences. Apart from these questions of philosophical importance, Dr. Rasool also delved ' slightly into some of the questions of our everyday life concerning nearby environments. Concerning another aspect of the interaction of science and society which has influenced us greatly, he drew attention to the formation of a continuously widening gulf between the scientist and the literary intellectual. "Literary intellectuals Friday, February 3, 1967 BEACON Job opportunities for seniors are now available at the Guidance and Placement Office from national as well as local areas , with an abundance of teaching positions. Nearly every day, representatives from various companies and schools are on campus interviewing prospective employees. Senior graduating students who are interested in jobs or traineeships in their respective major fields are invited to visit the Guidance and Placement Office for assistance in planning their future work. A list of all available job notices is included in the college bulletin and is posted on campus bulletin boards every Tuesday and Thursday. at one pole - at the other, scientists, and as the most representative, the physical scientists. Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension . . . ," Yet, Dr. Rasool still finds some glimmer of hope in the enormous impact of the space program which may eventually at least try to bridge the gap between the two cultures. As Dr. Rasool sees it, the evolution of a third culture has begun which has, as a start, stopped the two cultures from drifting further apart. by James E. Harding Turmoil, tending toward all out civil war, seems to be the new evaluating mark of the Chinese People's Republic ( Red China). Mao Tse-tung and Defense Minister Lin Piao appear to be pitted against President Liu Shaochi and Communist Secretary-General Teng Hsiao-ping with Premier Chou En-lai attempting to tread the middleground while acting as liaison. What the effects of the events will be are of the greatest importance to the United States and practically every other nation of the world , for China stands today as not only a threat to the free world but also a threat to the Communist movement. The focal point of the entire situation is believed to be whether Red China should follow the strict ideology of Mao, seeking to build China as the Communist bastion of world revolution with near elimination of material benefits, or should shift to a form of Russian " revisionism," thus bringing the Communist world to closer relations and building Red China's industrial capability. The key to the outcome may be the Red Army, which is said by some to be about evenly split in the support of Mao and Liu. Therefore , theoretically, he who controls the Army controls the nation, but such an assumption could have many ramifications. In any event, the struggle is real. If the crisis were to intensify to all out civil war, there is a chance that a settlement would produce a new nation, or, rather, many new nations, for the province leaders are jealous of each ·other, and doubt arises as to whether a unifying power will reappear. This possibility cannot be put aside too lightly . Whatever the outcome, it is generally agreed that Communism will not disappear. The politico-ideological cadre is much too strong for that, and only external invasion (by, say, the Nationalist Chinese with United States aid) would be able to destroy the Communist framework . Russia is watching Red China very interestedly since a shift to "revisionism" would most likely mean a shift toward better relations between the two nations. If this becomes the case, the United States would find even greater difficulty confronting world commitments, especially in Vietnam , for a united Communist front would be an extreme hindrance to America 's present foreign policy. On the other hand , such action would open new channels between the United States and Red China. The struggle will probably continue for some time, and the victor's policies may have great effect upon American and world determinations in the political sphere. Such struggles and determinations are the keynotes of history, and the outcomes are the facts facing the world. The facts cannot be ignored, but some can surely be replaced by time. OPIUM LAND (Ed's note: This review appeared in The California Aggie of the University of California at Davis, Calif.) Mat Helm is back. This time the girl is Ann-Margaret. You don't like Dean Martin's singing? Bring ear plugs. You don't like Ann-Margaret? What are you, some kind of a nut? She doesn 't have to act, all she has to do is be there. In fact, it would probably be better if she didn 't act. She'll never have to worry about dust collecting on her Oscars. This time the plot, or whatever it is, revolves around the planned incineration of Washing ton by "Big 0." Helm takes time out from his busy schedule as Slaymate photographer when Miss January tries to give him the hot-foot. With everybody thinking he's dead and all the Slaymates wearing black mini-trenchcoats in mourning, Helm is off to Monaco in an effort to throw a wrench into "Big O 's" machinery. He manages to throw plenty. But with wrenches he's not as young as he used to be. It turns out that " Big O 's" head guy, played by Karl Malden, has cleverly concealed his headquarters on an island a few hundred yards off the Monaco beach, and he commutes in a discreet little air-boat designed to attract as little attention as possible. Helm 's main adversary is a stout guy with a stainless steel plate in his head. Original, huh? As usual, the odds are about even: one army versus one Matt Helm. The "TT 'LL W.€\/G~ army is mercifully annihilated, but Helm ends up with a nasty bruise on his cheek. Or is it lipstick? Things become so bobbled near the end you're not sure about anything. Remember the "Silencers" gun? Helm's arsenal this go-round has a delayed-action gun. You pull the trig ger, and it goes off four seconds later. As you've probably figured out, all the bad guys shoot themselves. It's not much compared with his "Silencers" equipment, but he gets plenty of use out of it. A brief appearance is put in by Dino, Desi, and Billy, during which Dino has a chance to say his catchy line, " Now you're getting with it, Dad." This has deep significance for the moviegoer and allows him to elbow his neighbor and say, "Ha ha, that's his son who said that. Ha, ha." The main complaint about the movie is that it tries to get too much mileage out of the situations, sometimes stretching them to the yawning point. The story follows the set formula , with Helm getting caught the recommended number of times and killing the recommended number of adversaries. It has all the elements: a good guy, a bad guy, in fact several bad guys, lots of pretty girls, and plenty of color. It doesn ' t quite hit the bull's eye , but it scores a near miss, which is better than most do. In spite of eve rything, or maybe because of everyt hing, especially AnnMargaret, it manages to be an enjoyable and entertaining lllm. wot.I( �WILKES Friday, February 3, 1967 COLLEGE Page BEACON 5 :Four new records set .__ _ _ _ _____. by Colonel swimmers THE HIGH PosT J by Walt Narcum Winning. To coaches, this is a Without the will have no excuse players, teams, and very important word. to win a team would for existing. A player will give up individual glory for the sake of winning. If any proof of this statement is needed, we only have to point to Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia 76ers. Wilt used· io score over one hundred points in orie game, yet his team still lost. Now he is no longer the leading scorer in the N.B.A. but his team leads their division. Wilt gave up individual glory and substituted team victory as his goal. Wilkes' teams and coaches are noted for their will to win. We honestly believe that every Wilkes team this year has had a hunger for victory. Naturally not every Wilkes team can meet the standards set for them by the football and wrestling teams, but Wilkes fans seem to expect an unbroken strin~ of victories from all teams, or else they withdraw their support. The Colonel cagers and mermen have had less than a spectacular season so far this year. Th is fact should not have an effect on attendance at these contests, but in fact it has. Only one conclusion can be drawn from this fact. Most of the Colonel fans will only support a winner. It seems that it isn 't considered "cool" to go to see Colonel teams that aren 't MAC defending champions. School spirit exists only when a team is winning. What these fair weather fans don't realize is that their attendance can go a long way towards giving Wilkes those winning team s we all want. We have all heard of the hom e court advantage. Part of this advantage is due, of course, to the team 's familiarity with the court. A large part, however, is due to the support a team gets from its fans. This plea for support will probably fall on deaf ears, but that's to be expected. For those interested, the Colonel cagers will be home tomorrow night at 8:15 p.m., against Juniata. If you still haven't gotten your schedule straightened out, tomorrow happens to be Saturday. The day after is Sunday and most of us have a light schedule on Sunday. Wrestling The wrestling team, now 7-0 on the season, will miss the services of Vic Altonen and Al Arnould who didn't return for the second semester. Arnould had an outstanding season as a freshman, winning the MAC unlimited crown. In last Saturday 's meet with F .D .U. , Fran Olexy proved that size is no handicap, as he pinned his man even though he was outweighed by 45 pounds. H11dquart1rs for Lettered With three of their nine scheduled meets behind them , the Colonels' mermen now sport a log of 0 and 3. The mermen succumbed to Harpur College, 51-44, Philadelphia College of Textile and Science, 64-31, and to Drexel lnstitue of Technology, 58-36. Despite their record, the mermen have thus far evinced ,a fighting spirit and determination in 1111 of their meets which bodes well for, the rest of the season. Against Harpur the Colonels captured an early seven point lead by winning the 400-yard medley relay. the first event of the meet. The Wilkesmen retained their lea d until the fifth event w hen Harpur crept ahead to a three point lead. Th e score was tied 35-35 in the eighth event and again at 44-44 in the tenth and next to last event; Harpur, however, took the deciding final event, the 400-yard frees tyle relay, for seven points and a 51-44 victory . In the Philadelphia Textile contest, the Wilkes mermen did not fare so well. Textile captured the opening event and an early lead . Th ey retained their edge throughout the contest, holding the Colonels to only two first place wins. The Colonels' mermen again garnered an early seven point lead after the opening event of the Wilkes-Drexel meet. The Wilkesmen, however. could retain their lead only until the fourth event after which Drexel forged ahead to a 20-14 advantage.

Phethean set a new record of 2:27.1 in the 200-yard backstroke and with 25.2 surpassed the old record in the SO-yard freestyle by one-tenth of a second. The previous records for these events were 2:40 and 25.3 respectively.

Cagers lake two over winier vacation by Bob Thompson Since the last issue of the Beacon before Christmas, the Colonel cagers have slipped to a record of 2 wins and 6 losses. They downed Philadelphia Pharmacy, 80-62 and Harpur, 81-61. The Colonels led both games from start to finish and had little trouble winning. In their losses, the two contributing factors were a lack of height and a lack of spirit and pride. At the half in each contest the team was either tied or within a few points of the opposition , but fell apart in the second half. The Colonels manag ed a tie at the half with Elizabethtown but were unable to contain John Lentz in the second half and fell to defeat 90-71. Daniels led Wilkes with 31 points. Against the number three team in the MAC , Albr ight, the Colonels hung on for the first half but succumbed 74-57 to a fine team effort. After a 31 -31 tie at half, the Colonels dropped behind Lebanon Valley by 16 points before coming back to tie the game. They lost in overtime 85-82 . Dale Nicholson was high for the cagers with 21 points. Against Rutgers the Colonels dropped behind in the second half by a few points and were never able to gain them back. They lost 80-76, and Daniels was again high scorer with 22 counters. Delaware Valley jumped to a 10-2 lead and Wilkes was never able to gain the lead, although they came close. The Colonels were beaten on the foul line when Delaware Valley made 25 of 33 to Wilkes' I 5 of 24 . Reuben Daniels led all scorers with 29 points. In their latest contest the cagers were downed by a tough East Stroudsburg State College five, 77-58. Down 34-31 at intermission , the Colonels played their best game since early season. At a definite height advantage they were able to hold their own on the boards and led by as much as 6 points early in the contest. But again the second half was a disaster. Behind only 45-42 they fell apart and were unable to score , rebound or stop the Warriors and were well down 72-45 before both teams put in the subs. The Warriors ran off 16 straight points mos tly on easy layups before the Colonels scored. John Grobelney hit on 9 of 12 field goals in the second half and finish ed with 26 points. Daniels had 18 for the Colonels giving him an average of 20 points for the last 7 games. This Semester WILKES-BARRE the year. Both are now making preparations for the showdown. Before East Stroudsburg the Colonels took on Millersville on Saturday and Lycoming on February 11. Millersville is expected to pose no problem while Lycoming although not as strong as last year should be a tough contest. The Colonels· cause for the rest of the season has been hurt by the loss of two of its top grapplers. Al Arnould defending MAC heavyweight champion and Vic Altonson a letterman for 3 years did not return to school this semester. But Coach Reese always seems to come up with a solution to the problem and to beat East Stroudsburg, it is imperative that he does. The Warriors were the only team to beat the Colonels last year and have their sights on topping the Colonels again. They are currently leading the State College conference and have beaten Lycoming , Springfield and Bloomsburg, all strong teams. They also finished high in th e Wilkes Open Tournament.

Good Luck FOR COMPLETE SHOE SERVICE • • • by Bob Thompson Between an opening romp of 35-0 over Delaware Valley to a 37-0 posting of Madison F.D.U., the Colonel grapplers have put together 5 other lopsided victories for a 7-0 record. Only 25 points have been scored against them by the 7 clubs which is less than any one Wilkes score. In early season meets the Reesemen defeated Hartwick, 2(i-3, while using the second string. Springfield, one of the top powers in the East fell 28-5 while C . W . Post was routed 41-7. The toughest meet thus far was Hofstra, who although they lost 25-8, extended the Colonels in every bout and allowed no pins. In an important meet the grapplers downed Mansfield, 32-5. McCormick, Forde and Olexy all won via pins. Last Saturday, they rocked up their 7th straight win at the expense of Madison F.D.U. They were shut out for the second straight year, 37-0. Doug Forde piled up a 24-4 advantage over his opponent while Matviak, McCormick, Wiendl, Cook and Olexy all won via falls. Olexy 's win was particularly outstanding bec:ause he was wrestling heavyweight, instead of his usual 177 pounds.

Each bill consists of a different treatment of the problems and complications that one can encounter in using the telephone. The first, a comic opera by Gian Carlo Menotti, called simply, The Telephone, deals with a young man named Ben, played by Bob Sokoloski, who tries to propose marriage to his sweetheart, Lucy , played by Barbara Liberaski, who will not get off the telephone long enough to listen. The opera will be directed by Mr. Richard Chapline. Ka r 1 Knoecklein is in charge of the lighting, and Dana Voorhees is designing and constructing the set. The second one-act play is a suspense thriller by Lucille Fletcher, entitled Sorry, Wrong Number. It concerns a neurotic, self-centered woman, Mrs. Stevenson, played by Liz: Slaughter, who overhears two gangsters plotting the murder of a woman on the telephone. The tension builds as Mrs. Stevenson tries in vain to have the call traced and to inform the police, only to have her story fall on deaf ears. Others in the cast, to be directed by Jan Kubicki , are David Frey, Hazel Hulsizer, Vivian Ronan, Diane Alfaro, Lynne Mallory, Cecilia Rosen , Maryann Koncz:inski, Dennis English, Eliot Rosenbaum and Ed Liskey. John Birk- enhead is designing the lighting, and Jan Kubicki is designing and executing the set. Nancy Leland is in charge of props; Ina George, ushering; and Dennis English , program and tickets. The one-acts will be presented at the C enter for the Performing Arts on Friday and Sunday , February 24 and 26, at 8:30 p.m. with a special matinee on Saturday, February 25, at 2:30 p.m. There will be a slight charge for non students ; students of the College will be admitted free. Tickets will be avail able at the box-office of the Fine Arts Center from February 14. Students must present their identity cards in order to receive their tickets. Student Government, in cooperation with the Administration, has initiated an Academic Integrity Committee. The committee wishes to establish a system of academic integrity among the faculty and students whereby they will take upon themselves the responsibility of reporting any cases of lying , stealing and cheating among students. The issue was debated at yesterday 's assembly in order to present the referendum to the students. They will be asked to vote on the issue on February 16, and their decision will determine whether or not the policy of academic integrity will go into effect. The members of the committee hope TBE VOL XXVI, NO. 13 Anyone interested in becoming a member of the A WS or in helping with the contest should attend the A WS meeting to be held Tuesday at 11 a .m.

Composed of the works of Susan Baker and Michael Grace, this exhibit, scheduled to close on Sunday , February 12, opened on Monday, February 6. Students and the public are invited to view it; hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. A variety of media ranging from oils, watercolors, and acrylics to iron, wood and wire, are explored by the two artists. One of the displays is " Disorganized Sound." Colored lights, a small tinkling bell and a harp superimposed on a bicycle frame are presented to the spectator in an unusual and colorful manner. Any trials by the senate are to be known only to the accuser, the accused, and the senate itself. The trial proceedings cannot be discussed by any of these individuals outside the courtroom. The Academic Integrity Committee realizes that its success depends on the students' approval and their promise to abide by the policy of academic integrity.

Dr. Cox is head of the committee and Matt Fliss is the representative for Student Government. The initiation of this policy will bring about the creation of a student senate consisting of a maximum of 25 senators from the freshman and sophomore classes. There will be one representative for each 100 male and each 100 female non-resident students. These senators will have two - year alternating terms. It will be the duty of all students and faculty to report any second offenses of lying, cheating or stealing The dance committee chairmen are: seated, Alicia Ramsey, general chairman; and Pat DeMeo, refreshments. Standing are Beverly Shamun, co-chairman, decorations; Gretchen Hohn, publicity; Toni Supchak, TDR president; and Sandy Cardoni, invitations. Students polled on draft question Polls of college and university student opinion regarding the Draft were released by the United States National Student Association (USNSA) . Last weekend in Washington, D .C ., the results were presented to a closed-door conference of leaders from a wide variety of youth and student organizations who are looking for a unified support for an alternative to the present Selective Service System. "The results of a campus-wide referenda on over twenty campuses were strikingly consistent," announced Mr. Eugene Groves, president of USNSA. More than 90 percent of American students feel that a nation can be justified in conscripting its citizens into the military. More than 70 percent of American students are not satisfied with the present Selective Service System. More than 70 percent of American students would prefer to have nonmilitary service , e.g. Peace Corps, VISTA, Teachers Corps, as an equal alternative to military service. Over 60 percent of American students do not feel that students should be deferred just because they are students. Last November USNSA issued a call for campus-wide referenda on the re lation of the colleges and universities to the Draft and on various alternatives to the Selective Service System. " We worked especially hard to assure a wide diversity of types of colleges and universities in the polling sample," said Groves. "In this regard we were successful. The diversity of the schools responding makes the consistency of the results even more impressive ." Campus-wide referenda were held at: Harvard University, Simmons College, City College of New York, University of Minnesota , Goucher College, Brown University, San Francisco College for Women, Valparaiso University, Stetson College, Marquette University, Westmar College, Edgewood College of the Sacred Heart, University of Connecticut, Belarmine College, Mercyhurst College, College of Wooster, St. Mary 's College, Bennington College , Wartburg College, and the University of Michigan. Twenty-three campuses with a total student population of 99,000 have been included in the USNSA statistics. Approximately 31 percent, or 30.500 of these students actually voted. Another ten campuses conducted a survey of referendum, but the statistics could not be compiled in this sampling because of widely varying questions. The decor of the semi-formal will be dominated by red hearts and cupids. James Koz:emchak will photograph individual couples in front of a backdrop of a six-foot-high red heart and a three and one half loot high white cupid. Crested goblets bearing the T.D.R . insignia will be given as souvenirs of the memorable evening. Refreshments consisting of punch and cookies will be served. General chairman of the dance and chairman of favors is Alicia Ramsey. Committee heads are Beverly and Shirley Shamun , decorations; Sandi Cardoni , tickets and program; Pat DeMeo, invitations; and Gretchen Hohn, publicity. D ean Ahlborn, who is sorority advisor, Dr. and Mrs. Francis Michelini, Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore Rapisardi, and Mr. Peter Nitchie will chaperone the affair. President Toni Supchak has also invited the past presidents of the sorority to be the honored guests of T.D.R. Tickets may be purchased from any T.D.R. member or at the Bookstore for $3. Chairman Alicia Ramsey emphasizes that the affair is not limited to sorority members and that all students of the College are invited to attend. Officers of the sorority are Toni Supchak, president; Alicia Ramsey, vice-president; Sandy Cardoni, secretary; Marilyn Moffatt, treasurer; and Ruth Kachauskas, social chairman. Cox attempts to regain title Next Friday the Lettermen 's Club will hold their annual Cherry Tree Chop at the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. Music will be provided by the Rising Son's. Pie eating and log sawing contests, the traditional highlight of the affair, will take place during the intermission. Dr. Harold "The South shall rise again" Cox will pit his stomach against that of Jay Holliday in the pie eating bout. In the log sawing contest, it will be Bill Layden and Bruce Comstock of the Lettermen's Club versus Dean Ralston and Mr. Evangelista of the faculty. Manuscript lo present occloimed French film by Chris Sulat Manuscript will present its fourth film of the year a week from tonight in the Fine Arts Center. The film, entitled The Earrings of Madame De . . ., produced and directed by Max Ophuls, is based on the novel by Louise de Vilmorin. This French tragi-comedy stars three of Europe's most renowned performers: Danielle Darrieux (as the Countess Madame de . . . ) , Charles Boyer (as her husband), and Vittorio De Sica (as an Italian diplomat) . A pair of diamond earrings pawned by the countess to pay debts she has incurred without her husband 's knowledge, repurchased by her husband for his mistress, lost by her in a roulette game, bought by an Italian diplomat and presented to their original owner with whom he has fallen in love - become the symbol of the countess' pride, w ithout which she cannot live. 01 the film, Time has said, "A new cinema classic . . . not since Jacques Feyder's Carnival in Flanders has a picture tried so many things at once and brought them off so well . .. a bubbling little masterpiece of romance and French wit. " Saturday Review called it "A film of more than ordinary interest . . . as glittering and flawless as the earrings of its title." Dr. Philip Rizzo, advisor of Manuscript, reminds students that the club meets every Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Conyngham 209. A workshop has been initiated in which student compositions are gently considered for publication. Interested students are urged to attend the meetings. �Page 2 WILKES VOTE ON HONOR SYSTEM In a few days we will be asked to vote on an issue that is vital to our role as mature college students. Subcommittee A of the Academic Integrity Committee has formulated a voluntary honor system, the details of which are outlined on page one of this issue of the BEACON. We will be given the opportunity to choose whether or not we want it instituted at the College in a referendum on February 16. There has been some question, even among our editors, as to whether it is morally right to impose such a system on the student body. It has been pointed out that the obligation to "rat" on a person whom we see cheating is too uncomfortably similar to conditions in a police state where informers are a major means of destroying subversion. The point is that there is a great deal of difference between a subversive, whose views could conceivably be better than those of the powers that be, and a cheater, who is committing an act which is akin, and even worse than, lying about his own ability to do something, such as pass a test or write a term paper. Another objection, that it would be unfair to impose this system, by the votes of present students, on future students is also groundless. If this system is adopted, it will be made clear to all prospective students that Wilkes has an honor system and that they will be expected to subscribe to it before they even consider attending classes here. Then there are those who say it is an insult to our dignity to be asked to police ourselves for cheaters. The real insult is that cheating has become so widespread among us that it has to be checked. We have brought this upon ourselves. And we are lucky to even be invited to help curb and control it ourselves. At the University of Rochester it was finally decided, after a study similar to the one the Academic Integrity Committee here has made, that the final responsibility lay in the hands of the faculty and that all tests would be heavily proctored (by Pinkertons) and all guilty parties would be subject to severe punishment for multiple offenses. Significantly, this decision came after a student referendum in which the students took very little interest. Feeling that not enough students cared to help themselves, the faculty took matters into their own hands. We are being given the opportunity to use our weight as the largest, if not most influential, group on campus. If we prove ourselves by indicating interest, be it pro or con, then we may have the chance to do so again. If we display no involvement at all, then we will be excluded from taking any significant part in the maturation of the college community. NO CONTROL! REALLY! We really do not mind being talked about - for the right reasons. But when self-appointed Know-Nothings on this campus insist that the BEACON is told what to say by the Administration, we feel that we must take up the space to deny the accusation wholeheartedly. More than any other organization on this campus, we are in the position to reflect opinion and to present student ideas to the Administration. To slur our existence by insisting that we are mouthpieces for the Administration irritates us since all we can insist is that we are autonomous and hope everyone believes us. BEATING DEAD HORSES COLLEGE Friday, February 10, 1967 BEACON NEITHER HEBE NOH THERE ED's Note: What follows are the ramblings of a flighty mind. Being a student at Wilkes necessitates that one be a student of bars. There's nothing else to do on weekends and midweek! around here, you know. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Student Government is too interested in finding a justification for its existence rather than sticking to its true duty of being tender to the social calendar. All this emphasis on defining terms has got to go, you know. Besides linguistic philosophers use their backs a lot. They don 't drink. Now we ask you which is more i~nocuous? Girls, do you want to take one of these bums home to mother or a nice social drinker like one of us? We know that your answer lies in the latter direction . Therefore , this column , dedicated to characterizing the local imbibing parlors, is to be put next to your heart (You know where, stupid. With the rest of your valuables and taxi fare .) . And so you guys can get paralyzed in a place that suits your persoriali ty. Let us start with the collegiate hangout - Donahue's Hour Glass. Dona- p hue 's is Wilkes' answer to the place where Louie dwells, and the tables down at Mory 's, and the dear old Temple bar. It's the place where the local in crowd cavorts and cavils. You know , Ben Franklin glasses. And the Hainna Hall hippies. Strictly a Wy oming Valley " 21 " Club. Lowe's Next, our tongue gu ides us to Wilkes-Barre's businessmen's and secretaries' hangout - Lowe 's. Lowe's, you know, is famous for "Rubber Mouth ... This place is also the stomping ground for those interested in the collegiate melting pot. One can always ,pot the white-socked witties (one of us has our prejudices) from the local Holy Cross College. Since we do have Lowe's, girls, what need of a cooperative library in order to meet guys? Over the river and through the par~ (watch out for the big puddles and the stop signs) we have Vispi's, that gay, exciting watering trough. Here one can participate in intellectual discussions on J.D. SALINGER. (Yeah, yeah, we know he's out, but pretty soon the area's hippies will begin comparing Bob Dylan to W. H.

Poverty Pocket isn 't a typical game. The main idea is failu re. First there are the rules: I. Coal is king. 2. No free paridng. 3. The whole town must take part. 4. Oliver Cromwell rules of living prevail. 5. You must play in a smoky, dimlit room. 6. li you get a "go to jail" card you pay $10 to the cop or wait for Judge Roy Bean to come through. It is nice to see that the people running for office at the College are behaving like professional politicians; they are completely ignoring any issues of importance. Each candidate's poster tells us that he or she is "qualified" and "able" but there are no issues discussed or suggestions given for college improvement. Is the college this perfect and free from fault? Those who desire a position of responsibility should not be afraid to state their opinions openly, especially on matters such as academic integrity. It is too late to save this selection - perhaps next year students will get a chance to vote for something important.

On more than one occasion , while playing at Ralston Field, the team was not even supported by the cheerleaders. And when I inquired why , I was told that Mrs. Saracino had instructed the girls to give their support to the football team which was playing away on the same day. How about that?

NORTHAMPTON STREET STUDY Ed. Note - The following appeared in THE RETORT, the student newspaper of Eastern Montana College. Are you a student thief? Yes. In the light of recent national publicity indicating an increase in shoplifting among college students would you care to comment on why students steal? Well, kicks mostly . It's exciting. It satisfies a psychological desire to do something risky. Guys like to see if they can get caught, if they can pull something over on the clerks. How does one go about shoplifting? Well, the most important thing is being in the mood. You have to feel like doing it. You have to know your rights. For example, you have to know that a clerk cannot touch you while you are in the store. So you have all the time in the world to ditch the stuff, if you think someone is watching you. Everything is on your side and aga inst the storekeeper. While he 's busy you nail him. Stick the stuff in your coat, in your pants, front and back, under your shirt, in your sleeves, and as a last resort in your pockets. How would you g,o about stealing something like an electric shaver? First, you go in and look around, you have to know the store. You can tell if it's easy by its position. For example, if it's sitting on the counter it's kind of like stealing candy, but if it's in a case you have to be a little more ingenious. You go in with a group of guys and when no one is looking reach over and see if the door is locked. If it's not, then you know they probably don 't Jock them so you can either take it then or come back another day when you're in the mood . You just walk up to the counter, reach behind it, open the drawer and take the stuff. It's risky and you have to be quick, you also have to be good not to get caught. Mos t guys who get caught, get caught the first couple of times that they steal. I've stolen lots of interesting things, but I'll tell you about something I watched another guy steal right from under the eyes of the clerk. He wanted a pair of walkie-talkies from behind the counter so he asked the clerk to show him a watch that was in the bottom of the counter, and when the clerk reached down to get the watch ABROAD YEAR WILKES COLLEGE COLLEGE PREP, JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD AND GRADUATE PROGRAMMES.

Nurses: Columbia (March). he reached behind her and took the walkie-talkies. I know of guys who have stolen color television sets, rifles, jewelry, diamond rings. You just have to know what you're taking and how to get it. Would you consider crime as a profession? No. The college thief isn't basically a criminal. He wouldn·t rob a bank or anything; it's too risky , and the odds are against him. Stores are small, the odds are against the store not you. The risk isn 't very great, and the damn clerks usually don't care if you do steal. Why do guys steal in groups? They don 't necessarily, or at least don't. Sometimes guys just go to town for kicks or for a show or something and on the way home they find they have a carload of junk; everybody 's pockets are full. I usually work alone; clerks are usually wary of crowds. How do you rationalize shoplifting? I guess I use the old axiom "everybody does it." So many kids do it that it just doesn 't bother you. It's just kicks. But I wouldn't steal from someone who would be hurt. For example, I wouldn 't break into a house or use a gun or anything like that. Do you ever buy anything? Sure, most of the time. Sometimes you go into a store to buy something and a clerk or the manager will come up and burn you and you weren't even intending to steal, so you go back and take it anyway just to burn him.

The Colonels took 8 of the 9 matches, four of the wins coming on pins. The Colonels' only loss of the night came in the 152-pound class when Wilkes' Conologue was pinned by Peck. Registering pins for the Colonels were John Marfia, Jim McCormick, Nick Kaschenback, and Fran Olexy. The Colonels will be away at Lycoming tomorrow night. Lycoming has a tough squad and should extend the Colonels as they did last year in their dual meet and in the MAC championships. Next Wednesday night the Colonels will host East Stroudsburg. East Stroudsburg was the only team in two years to stop the Colonels in dual meet competition, and the Colonels will be out to avenge this loss. Results: 123 pounds - Marfia Snyder in I :20.

Jim has been a regular starter for the Colonel wrestlers for two years. This likeable sophomore is a business administration major from Hampton, New Jersey, where he was a state wrestling champion. He now resides in Kingston with his wife. He merits his selection as athlete of the week for his performance against Millersville where he registered his fourth pin of the season. Wrestling at 130 and 137, he is currently 7-0 for the season. As a freshman, he lost only once in ten matches and placed second in the MAC tournament. Winning consistantly at I i g h t e r weights, Jim is an inspiration to the rest of the team. Off the mat Jim is friendly and easy-going and gives the appearance of a chess champion, not a top-notch wrestler, but on the mat he is a fierce competitor with tremendous pride to go with his skill and strength. Jim can be counted on to help the College retain the MAC crown and possibly the NCAA championship. The Intramural Basketball League opened its season last Thursday with four games being played. National Garages beat Jive Five, 83 to 31 , with National Garages' Curtis and Bauer leading all scores with 21 and 20 points respectively. The Trojans, led by a 23-point barrage from Rich Simonson, beat the Indians, 59 to 40. The Aces outdistanced the Harriets, {lg,-J<e 56-48. Drahus led the Aces with 13 points. F Troop, last year's intramural champs, walloped Snoopy, 86 to 33. Connolly led F Troop with 22 points. This year the intramural league is composed of a single league, rather than dorm and independent leagues. Currently there are 12 teams in the league. They will all play each other once. At the end of the regular season, the top few teams will engage in a play-off. ~n9,-gvi1t.9. Cc. 20 NORTH STREET WILKES,. BARRE, PENNA. Cagers gain lourth win by conquering .Juniata by Bob Thompson The Wilkes' cagers gained their fourth win of the season with a thrilling 71-69 victory 6ver Juniata. Down six points at half time, they came back to score the final two points with less than a minute remaining in the quarter. The Colonels showed the same teamwork and desire that they had earlier in the season but which has not been as evident lately. The game was characterized by some fine plays attested by a team total of 27 assists. Wilkes employed a 1-2-2 zone defense by playing aggressively and thus keeping the Indians from easy inside shots. Early in the game, this forced Juniata into many offensive fouls. Late in the game the Colonels resorted to a zone press with relative success. The winning desire of the team was personified by forward Jim Smith. At 6' I", a short forward, he played an aggressjve game, getting five rebounds and 13 points, but more important, he had several steals, jump balls, and set up a number of scoring plays. An important factor in the win was center Bob Ockenfuss. The 6'6" freshman has finally developed into a polished player. He scored eleven points, but more important, he grabbed 16 rebounds. Juniata had a taller team than Wilkes, but the Colonels still managed 40 rebounds. Ockenfuss guarded 67" Will Brandaus and he did an excellent job in containing him. If the desire and teamwork displayed against Juniata continues, the Colonels should finish the season in winning style. Bob Ockenfuss has developed into 1n outstanding scorer and rebounder under the guidance of Coach Rainey.

R epresentatives from the Academic Integrity Committee and Bob McGuire and Ted Lew is, judges on the honor court at Muhlen berg College, spoke to and answered questions from the assemblage. McGuire and Lewis stated that since its inception in I 961 , the honor system has worked extremely well at Muhlenberg. The code covers both academic and social aspects of college life, and infractions of the code are judged by a court which consists of ten judges and a pres ident. This court has full authority over all stud ent organizations, including the student council. McGuire emphasized that the honor code was a student-originated and backed pl an , and that since its inception , th e decisions of the court have been backed almost one hundred percen t by the administration of th e college. Under Muhlenberg's system, students are asked to report themselves as well as others. A student's behavior all year long, in all situations, is suhject to punishment if it re8ects ill on the school. This system is different from the one presently proposed at the College in that our honor code would deal only with infractions such as cheating, plagiarism, etc. Wilkes' code will definitely not be a social code. After the s tudents from Muhlenberg finished their explanations. the floor was opened to questions from the audience. Some of the queries were: How many cases do you try annually? At least 20. What problems do you find most diffiicult? We sometimes cannot decide on a just punishment for an offense. What is the usual punishment for c:heating? The student is expelled for either one or two semesters. Does the offense go on his record? D e finitely . It would if he were caught cheating under any system. What is the degree of cooperation the svstem gets from the other two main ,bodies on campus? The administration and the faculty cooperate Kingston, Pennsylvania.

Sixty-five girls and their dates danced to the music of the Symphonettes in the holiday atmosphere. Refreshment s consisting of punch and cookies were served. ICG sets up $100 fund by Zig A. Pines The Intercoll egiate Council on Governm ent announced at the rece nt Student Government meeting that du e to its last successful dance a $100 scholarship w ill be set a side for any incoming Wilkes fr eshman for next year. Such action marks th e fi rs t tim e an organi za tion will use its profits to sponsor a scholarship fund . The only stipulation for the scholarship will be that th e reci pient, from a local high school. should demons trate definite leadership potential. Matt Fliss, Student Govern ment president, designated a committee composed of ICG and SG membe rs to initiate the program. Another important aspect of th e mee ting was Mike Hamilton 's proposal that a committee, involving faculty and Administration members , a s well as students, should be organized to review school polici es and happenings and consequently make needed recom mendations . Such a proposal is part of a continued effort by SG to involve the stud ents more directly in school policy making. Matt Fliss announced that a new report from th e Academic Integrity Committee. subcommittee B, is available for all students and can be obtained from Mr. Roberts ' office at Chase Hall. The essential result of th e committee's action is the recommendation that students a nd faculty should serve in every committee within the school rather than having many committees restricted to faculty and Administra tion members. TDR 's request for money for its two sponsored teas was granted. The teas are given to incoming day -hop girls who have been accepted by the College. The money will be used primarily for posters and invitations. The third anual hootenanny, chaired by Jean Marie Chapasko, promises to be more like a music festival this year. The hootenanny will be open to all students and to all types of performers. Letters of invitation have been extended to the area colleges. Approximately $150 will be awarded to the four winners. Any student wishing to participate in the hootenanny is urged to contact Jean Marie Cbapask!.> or to submit a note in the SG mailbox. The final item of business was a warning to clubs to turn in their activity forms on time in order not to complicate the social calendar. A few clubs have already been fined. �WILKES Page 2 Smoking is a Dear Editor: I am writing to complain about the absence of cigarette machines on campus. In an age when educators across the country are proclaiming the absolute value of cigarettes as a study !!id, this is nothing short of criminal. There is a health factor here, too. I, myself, have had two nicotine fits, on the edge of the campus, trying desperately to reach a cigarette machine. The second of these was quite serious. Only the fast-thinking response of a chain-smoker who was able to breath smoke into my lungs, kept me from going out. You can imagine my added consternation in finding that our school insurance does not cover nicotine fits. Such is the double-edged sword of prejudice wielded by our archaic Administration. Stephen Robertson '68 Dear Editor: It should be gnawing at you students as to the reason the referendum for the honor code was postponed from this week until February 28 and Feats COLLEGE Neither Here Nor there health aid March I. After serious consideration of the situation the Academic Integrity Committee made this change. The first reason is that the freshmen were preoccupied with elections last week. Secondly, and more important, is the fact that at this date only a small minority of the students know all the facts pertaining to the proposed honor system. Until the entire campus is informed, and each student has sufficient time to arrive at an intelligent position on this matter, a referendum can be of little value. If you have not received a copy of the constitution for this pr.oposed code at last week's assembly, you may pick one up at the Bookstore. The voting will take place at the three cafeterias on campus, and sufficient advance notice will be given before the referen- dum. It is difficult to verbalize the importance of this matter and its meaning to you. Make no mistake about this, the referendum coming up may very well be the most important election you participate in at Wilkes. The stand you take is your prerogative, but get the facts! Gerald F. Weber of Clay We see that the popular press is scolding Mohammad Ali again. It should surprise no one by now. The press is always making poor excuses for any fighter, good or bad, that Ali fights. There can be only one reason for this practice: Ali is not the traditional sports hero that America has grown to expect. Ali holds unpopular views, and the press is hoping that somehow 'God will punish him' or something. Perhaps it is time that we realize skill has something to do with success and give some credit to someone who is undoubtedly tops in his field. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN MANUSCRIPT FILM - EARRINGS OF MADAME DE ... , - CPA- Tonight, 7p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday, February 17, 1967 BEACON Dear Editor: Just a note of tribute to two loyal workers in white who have braved tremendous odds with surprising success during the Fall semester. Yeah, you got it! I mean none other than Sophie and Gerard , the caf connoisseurs who can be heard each weekday opening their show with "Cheeseburg" or " Yours Please," and a little soft shoe on the side ( like in the cheeseburg, would you believe!). Seriously, though, we must commend Sophie and Gerard for doing the work of four people for an entire semester. Especially commendable is the fact that, despite the odds, they handled the situation with a high degree of efficiency. I am sure that their employer has recognized their " work well done" and has rewarded them with at least something, like a full paid summer vacation in the Bahamas, or maybe even a free hamburg for lunch ( one per week) . At any rate, Gerard and Sophie, the students of Caf 824 want to express their thanks for a job well done. , Gerard and Sophie ► NOTICE ◄ Membership for the Biological Society will close Tuesday, March 7, in order to prevent students from joining just before a trip, etc. Recently, the Neither Here Nor There team took a trip down to New York (No, No baby! It wasn 't with the Art Club) and managed to get an interview with the junior senator from New York, Robert F . Kennedy, affectionately known to intimates as "mess.it-up Bob." First of all, we do feel we should explain how we managed to be ushered into the mahogany-paneled office with full length pictures of Jane Russell. You see, we know Jack Parr who pays the Kennedys to expose themselves. Or he used to. Now they pay William Manchester and some stupid Newsweek reporters. Anyway, Jack owes us a favor, see. (Once we invited him to speak at an assembly, but that fell through. He was anxious to come seeing as how Lady Bird began her career as Lady Bountiful by expressing her pleasure over how the area was pulling itself up in Stark 116 on a cold, cold day in January of I 964.) Since the Kennedys also owe him a favor, ( they still remember when most of the country was on their side) we got in. Now , don't think we're bragging about our connections with the washed-ups. But it does pay to be nice to people. Mailer, Griffin So we get into the office, right. First of all, we ask him about his college plans for his tenth child, who will probably be the first president of NOTHINGS There are not only forty types of coffee grown in Brazil, but there is also water drunk.

Once you start selling whisky, there 's no telling how far you can climb. Next, we questioned the Senator concerning his family's relations with William Buckley's friend, Norman Mailer, otherwise famous for his dirty book, now a play, Deer Park ( we don't think it's dirty, the DAR does) and assorted commentaries on the American scene. We reminded the senator that that genial Irish Catholic, Merv Griffin, had questioned Mr. Mailer concerning his closeness to the Kennedy family. Mailer denied this, but declaimed that the senator was the only man alive who could save America. The senator also agreed that their family was not close to America's only sane observer (outside of Buckley) but characteristically thanked Mailer for praising him. We agreed that he should, since outside of those liberals not thoroughly disgruntled with the senator, Mailer was the only friend he had at the moment. Seeing as how we charged the atmosphere by making that last comment, we asked the senator the question everyone is asking. How did he manage to bungle the Manchester affair. We asked him how anyone in his right mind could have agreed to hire a man known only for novels worse than those of John O'Hara 's. We did refrain from comparing the affair with the Bay of Pigs. The senator looked at us for a long moment , considered (we thought) kicking one of us in the shins, and finally answered , "Nobody's perfect. " The Cinderella Ball Then we asked him about his unofficial trip as official spokesman for US policy abroad. You know where - in Viet Nam. The senator denied that he was an unofficial official spokesman. He insisted that he was merely a concerned citizen, like Barry Goldwater, who wished to visit the area of involvement and talk with the people making some of the trouble like the French - since he had a job at the moment and Goldwater didn't. Finally, we fired our last question of the closed-room conference. W e asked him what the president said after he returned to Washington from his junket abroad . Bobby simply replied: " He talked to me." The junior senator would not answer further questions on the subject. He did smile when we asked him if the president gets angry when he sees him and is unappreciative of the favors Kennedy has done for him. (You know one cutting out some of those chapters.) Finally, when we were ready to leave, the senator asked if he could do us any favors. One of us said he could. He asked him for plane fare to Washington so he could visit the vice-president. When the senator appeared surprised at such an unusual request, Neither Here explained that the VP does nothing more than hand out engraved cufflinks with HHH scratched on them, and that he needed the links for the Cinderella ball coming up (Neither Here always has longrange plans) and that he ,vas sure to get them after he promised to vote for Hubert for anything. Kennedy smiled for the second time and wrote out the check. We decided we liked him and planned to write a letter to the Village Voice praising him. You see, Kennedy has no plans to cut tuition and decrease higher education allotments when he takes over.

The magnificent scene was interrupted momentarily when the lead canoe hit a snag, sending George Washington (whose real identity is still being sought) rather abruptly into the drink. But the land ing three hours later was still exciting despite the rather solemn dredging procedure that was going on for the president. To accentuate "Washington - The Surveyor, " a math major was supposed to have been selected to pinpoint the College as to the exact location, longitude , latitude, area , etc. His exhausting study was culminated in an informative lecture held following the infamous landing. A rather unfortunate situation did happen though when the I.B.M. computer popped a screw and coughed out the name of Marvin Smedlop - Frosh - cum: .91 instead of the senior - cum: 3.89 that was requested. The error was not a catastrophe though and the lecture turned out to be an extremely interes ting one. Who would have believed that Wilkes College is located 38° latitude, 255½ 0 longitude and slightly southwest of San Diego, California? Here on River Street the student body is still awaiting the arrival of the 30.000-pound cherry tree that the stu- By now most students are aware of the great honor that has been bestowed upon the College this month. For the first time in the history of the event, the George Washington Day WingDing Committee of the greater WilkesBarre area has chosen the Wilkes campus as the location of its annual celebration in commemoration of our beloved first president. Since this is also the first time this particular celebration has been held anywhere, the College will be putting forth its all in hopes that this will become a yearly event on campus. The festivities officially began this morning with the crossing of the Susquehanna by the faculty of the history department. Unfortunately, the department was unable to find a boat large enough to accommodate the eager throng and was forced to use three row boats, two canoes, and one kayak all held together by Dr. Cox doing his famous Southern "swim-for-yourlife" stroke. In spite of transportation difficulties it was a majestic affair as the uni- McDONALD'S HAMBURGERS WILKES COLLEGE BOOKSTORE MILLIE GITTINS, Man., 187 RIVER ROAD "CONDEMN THE FAULT AND NOT THE ACTOR OF IT."

The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 3: 15 p.m. and the his.tori cal chopping down of the tree for 3:30 p.m. , followed by remarks by ·Matt Fliss on the honor system . The festive activities will be held through Wednesday, and it has been noted that advantage has been taken of the merriment and patriotic sentiment by various individuals of the College. Flyers have been found saying : "If you love your country, you·n love your college P. R. departrnent" . . . which no one understands, but the Republican club is looking into the situation. Also, Dr. Cox says that if he wins the pie eating contest tonight , he will take his Confederate-Hag-designed underwear off the Chase Hall Hag pole. Such tactics are rather unfa ir but seem to be working well. Various Washington-oriented activities are planned for the beginning of next week, but the highl·iJht will be Wednesday night when the WingDing Committee will officially close its program. The closing will be a spectacular firing of some faculty or Administration member ( please let me finish) from the very cannon on which George Washing ton slept. The Hying tribute will be grasping an olive branch in one hand, thirteen arrows in the other, and the American Hag in his teeth. Volunteer(s) for this honor are now being drafted. And as the figure disappears into the night air, and the Hag ( ?) descends from the Chase Hag pole, and the last of the tree splinters are removed from Dr. Farley's living room, the committee will withdraw from the campus with what we hope will be satisfaction from a flawless patriotic affair. - W.

The first production is the theatrical production of Lucille Fletcher's famous radio play , Sorry, Wrong Number. It concerns a neurotic, self-centered woman who accidently overhears two killers plotting cold-blooded murder for that night at 11 : 15. She unsuccessfully tries to have the call traced but runs up against a blank wall when she tries to persuade the police that a horrible crime is going to be committed . Heading the cast is Liz Slaughter playing the crippled, selfish woman. Miss Slaughter has performed in previous College productions such as Camelot, The Lottery and The Mad Woman of Chaillot in the latter of which she played the title role. She will also be seen this summer in the film version of the best-seller Up the Down Staircase. She is a junior psychology major from Flushing, New York, and plans a career in modeling. The student director for Sorry, Wrong Number will be Jan Kubicki, a senior English major from WilkesBarre. Although this is his first directing assignment, Kubicki has appeared in last year's Cue 'n Curtain productions of The Marriage Proposal, The Apollo of Bdlac, The Mad Woman of Chaillot and as Pellinore in the recent production of Camelot. His next role will be that of Iago in the drama department's forthcoming production of Shakespeare's Othello. After graduation he will attend Temple University for a masters degree in theatre. STUDENT LEADERS (Continued from Page I) Are all cases of cheating reported, in y.our personal opinion? Whether cases are reported or not is not really the point. The important thing is the character of the individual. Does the system work? Student polls indicate that it is effective. Did any increased student responsibility and privileges come about as a result of the honor code's success? Yes, as a matter of fact. We had no responsibility to speak of until after we adopted the honor code and proved ou'r willingness and ability ' to take on responsibility . Then questions were asked of the representatives of Wilkes. How similar will our system be to Muhlenberg's? Our system will be ac ademic only, not social. Then what does the phrase nonacademic cheating ( section 3B of the code) refer to? It would refer to something that happens on campus, like stealing from a dorm, that would not be known off campus. But isn't that a social in.fraction? Yes, it is, but if the objection is strong to anything that smacks of social rulings, we can delete it. It must be remembered that the honor code as it is formulated now is not in its finished form . This one is simply an idea of what one would be like. If the students agree to initiating a code at the referendum , then the form will be finalized. The upcoming referendum is simply for the purpose of sounding the students on their desire for an honor code.

The Colonels played one of their best games of the season, as always against Lycoming, but were unable to stop the Warriors on their home court. While the Colonels had trouble fiµding the mark , Lycoming had trouble missing, especially in the second half. Lycoming opened with a full court press, but the shooting of freshman Bob Ockenfuss soon stopped that. The Warriors wore down Coach Rainey's charges with their height advantage and accurate shooting. Chuck Sample was high for Lycoming with 32 points. He scored a goal from midcourt on a desperate throw at the half buzzer and also at the final signal. The big difference in the game was on the foul line where Lycoming picked up 20 points to Wilkes' 8. High for Wilkes was Dale Nicholson with 18 and Sharok with 12.

Mike Connolly led "F" Troupe with 20 points while Rich Simonson accumulated 15 points for the losers. Closing out their weeks schedule, " F " Troupe came out on top over National Garages by a slim margin of five points.

The loss against five wins for The Colonels reached into their bag of tricks in an effort to stop the Royals. In the first half, the Colonels employed a one-man slow down offense which worked fairly well. The cagers set up a four man screen along the base line and let Reuben Daniels, alone outside, to try for a clear shot. The net result was Daniels' seven goals in nine attempts. This was coupled with a tenacious defense which kept the ball away from the high-scoring Rhett Jenkins , who had only ten counters on the night. The Colonels might have walked away with a victory except for the outside shooting of guards Moylan and Melofchick. They accounted for 22 of the Royals' 42 at the half. Midway through the first half, Coach Nat Volpe replaced Jenkins with Scott since Jenkins plays only offense and did little of that in the half. 10 S.

The few times he got the ball - after shouting at his teammates to feed hiM - he either missed or fumbled the ball. The Colonels, however, were unable to capitalize on Jenkins ' coldness because of their own. With less than a minute co go, Scranton held only a 6-point lead. They froze the ball, and Wilkes was forced to foul. Melofchick and Moylan both sank one pointers. With an eight-point lead the Royals could gamble on sending their guards long on Wilkes ' shots. The gamble worked and the rsult was three easy layups, one a't the buzzer, and that was the ball garpe. High for Wilkes was Daniels with 22 on 10 for 15 from the field .
