In addition to the roses , the winner will receive a free hairstyling from Michael Quare's Studio, Northampton Street, Wilkes-Barre. She will also be el igible for the best-dressed coed of the year sponsored by Glamour Magazine. Each of the finalists will receive a charm for a bracelet as a memento of the contest. Approval sought lor honor system by Carol Okrasinski M embers of th e student body will cast their ballots Tuesday and W ednesday, F ebruary 28 and March I, at the two cafeterias and the snack bar on the referendum of the Honor Code. Their decisions will determine whether or not the policy of academic integrity will go into effect. The members of the committee hope that this policy will help to bring about the long-hoped-for student-faculty -Administration cooperation. 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 . Gerald W eber, a member of the committee, states that there must be an honorable environment at the College if it is to remain a mature edu cational institution. "Since we will have to fac e responsibility of this na ture during our professional 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 ou r• selves and the environm ent we live in. Anyone w ho 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." Letters have been sent to all students by the committee to remind them of the importance of this referendum ; copies of the Honor Code have been made available at the Bookstore and at various locations on campus. The Honor Code will only deal with infractions such as cheating, plagiarism, etc. It will definitel y not be a social code. The initiation of this policy will bring about the creation of a student Senate and a stud ent Honor Court. The Senate will pass sentence in those cases w here a violation of the Honor Code has been verified by the court. This is a student-initiated and studentrun system; the only participation of the Administration is in the case that a student 's expulsion may be reviewed by the President of the College. The Committee on Academic Integrity was formed October, 1965. The committee is composed of five representatives each from the administration , the faculty and the student body. The purpose of the committee is to study the responsibility of th e three groups toward each other and toward the College itself. Dr. Cox is chairman of the committee. Matt Fliss is chairman of Subcommittee A, the student phase, whose major program is the Honor Code. Students are strongly urged by the committee to accept their responsibility to vote. It realizes that success of th e Honor Code depends on students' approval and th eir promise to abide by the policy of academic integrity. EDITORIAL WE SHALL OVERCOME? Perhaps, the student body of the College has not yet really understood the significance of the vote on the honor code. This referendum actually is being used as a barometer by both the Administration and the faculty in determining whether or not the student body can demonstrate some capacity to assume responsibiliy. Whether or not students can bring weight to bear on decisions made in Administrative and faculty circles very definitely depends upon a LARGE turnout in the referendum on the honor code. Whether the proposal is passed or defeated, then, is not as important as the excercise involved. A significant vote turnout on this issue is of paramount importance; please do not express disapproval of the honor code by refusing to exercise voting privileges. If there should be a small turnout, ALL is lost. Which means cigarettes will never be returned to campus. Which means dorm curfews will never be liberalized. Which means . . .

XXVI, No. 15 Music dep'I., C and C present plays lo public Tonight, at 8:30 p.m. in the C enter for the Performing Arts, is the opening performance of Cue 'n Curtain's twin bill of one acts, Sorry, Wrong Number and The Telephone. Additional performances will be given Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 8:30 p.m. Bo th shows represent a unique departure for Cue 'n Curtain because of their contrasting stories, which are both based on the frustrations one encounters sometimes when using the telephone. Also, this marks the first time that th e music department and Cue 'n Curtain have collaborated to produce a show other than the largescale mu sical presented every two y ears. The Telephone, which is being directed by Richard Chapline, is a comic opera depicting a talkative young woman who refuses to get off the phone long enough to listen to her boyfriend, who wants to ask her to marry him . Mr. Chapline is the voice instructor at the College, as well as director of the mixed chorus and the Madrigal Singers. He recently directed the chorus of Camelot. The lovers in The Telephone are being played by two senior voice majors, Barbara Liberasky and Robert Sokoloski. Miss Liberasky is director of the Women 's Chorus as well as a member of the mixed chorus. Sokolowski is the director of the Collegians, member of the mixed chorus and recently played King Arthur in Camelot. The accompanist for the opera is John V erbalis, a senior piano major who has played with the Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic. All three plan to enter graduate schools in the fall. Sorry, Wrong Number is a one-act suspense play being directed by Jan Kubicki. It tells the classic story of the efforts made by a woman to prevent a murder which she has over- Pictured above are John Verbalis, accompanist for THE TELEPHONE; Richard Chapline, director; Barbara Liberasky, female lead; and Bob Sokolowski, male lead. heard being planned on the telephone. The lead is played by Liz Slaughter. Stage managers for the play are Margaret Klein and Dana Vorhees. Lighting is in the charge of John Birkenhead and Karl Knoecklein; costumes, Chris Fisher; props, Nancy Leland; special effects, Tom Marcy; make-up, Vernie Shiposh; tickets, Dennis English; house, Ina George; original paintings, Karl Knoecklein; set designs, Jan Kubicki and Dana Vorhees; and directorial assistant, Karen Kusek. Alfred S. Groh is acting as production supervisor; Myvanwy Williams, dramatic coach; and Joan Tymchyshyn, technical consultant. Free tickets may be secured at the Fine Arts Center box office all day today and one hour before show time on Saturday and Sunday. Students' lox relief sought Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn.) recently introduced his bill to give tax relief to parents and students who pay the costs of a college education. The proposal provides an income tax credit of up to $325 on the first $1,500 of tuition, fees, books, and supplies. It would go to anyone who pays these expenses for a student at an instiution of higher education. The measure this year has picked up strong support; it is co-sponsored by 46 senators from both political parties and from all sections of the country. It is the same measure Ribicoff has introduced in previous Congresses with one exception: An amendment would include coverage for students in accredited post-secondary business, trade, technical and other vocational schools. �WILKES Page 2 COLLEGE J.ette,-, Abide Abide It is a long-established tradition at the College to denounce the food that the dormies must eat in the cafeteria as the worst served anywhere. And the BEACON has wholeheartedly upheld this ancient and honored tradition in spite of assurances that all institutional food is tasteless, monotonous, etc., etc. It is not true that all institutional food is as boring as that. We have it on good word that the University of Pittsburgh's cafeteria serves kosher food, which everyone knows is delicious, as well as three or four other dishes for the students' choice at each meal. As an interesting sidelight, the Pitt students at one time hated their meals too. So they picketed the cafeteria and refused to eat there until the authorities capitulated and changed caterers. But to get back to the point, that the general consensus is that the caf food is lousy and that our editorial policy is that the ca£ food is lousy, we thought we finally had one on Them when it was reported to us that about half the dorm students had contracted food poisoning. We had a whole smear campaign laid out when our plans were squelched by a confirmation that it was an intestinal virus and not food poisoning after all. Needless to say, we abandoned our campaign in dismay. But we have not given up. All things come to him who waits. Minority Report The editorial policy of the BEACON is to support the honor code on campus. There are, however, two diverse opinions among those who work on the paper. This is the minority report. Cheating does occur on Campus, but it is not really as widespread as supporters of the honor code would have you believe. The honor code will probably, because of statistical facts, not work at the College. It would take a great deal of assurance to report a person for cheating and what if the first cases were made "examples" to show that the students would police their own. Would you like to be one of the first cases? If people are innocent until proven guilty no one will be found guilty; if people are guilty until proven innocent many people may be harmed by one malicious liar. The minority feels that the current system can be made more efficient than the honor system that has been proposed could ever be. V#HAT • lNHERE • lNHEN Friday, February 24, 1967 BEACON t, et/it,,- Bock ciggies discussed canned music Dear Editor: Alas! Alas! Alas! It had to come to pass. Th e Comn;10ns now has a juke box. Spurred on by the success of its piped-in Christmas carols during the Yuletide, the powers that be no doubt thought that it would be a good idea to have music in 't he caf all year 'round. Not to mention the fact that while one concentrates on the Supremes, one tends to forget about the crap that he is eating. Since the P .R . office's record collection was limited only to Chris tmas music, a juke box was only logical. Besides, that way it would be th e students who pay for the music and not the Administration. The Administration could also· then collect a pe rcentage of the take from the juke box, thus killing two birds with one stone . And maybe lowering th e tuition because of th e collected revenue. But, I digress. When I first saw the machine being wheeled in, I thought perhaps it was a cigarette machine in disgu ise. But no. It dispensed "Georgy Girl " rath er than brightly colored packages of instant oral gratification. If we can 't have cigarettes, we'll have music. Perhaps it is hoped that the music will have the power to charm the savage beast of nicotin e within us. But anyway , the advent of th e juke box leads only to speculation. Will the tables be moved at lunchtime to provide room for dancing? Will this mean th e end of the Friday night dances and thus wreak havoc on the SG social calendar? Will Sophie have to tear off her white uniform and replace it with three pasties to doubl e as a cook-go go girl? Will Gerard appear topl ess? Who knows? One can only sit back and enjoy the music and wait. A Well-Respected Man P .S . When I wrote my diatribe, I did not realize that th e Commons doubled as a Student Union at night.

Trotskyite leaders included Ta Thu Tau, Duong Bach Mai and Tran Van Giau whose nam es appear now and again throughout the era. In th e year 1941 there was a roundup of Communists in th e area south of Saigon. Three thousand were arres ted , and as y ~t, no one can tell the numb er that escaped detection. This was eleven years after the formation of the party. With th e end of World War II and th e withdrawal of the Japan ese forc es, a power vacuum was created which the French could not fill before th e Communis ts took over. Ho marched on Hanoi and made it his headquarters. A fi erce and bitter rivalry ex isted between the Trotskyites and Communists in the south and Ta Thu Tau was assassinated and Tran Van Giau was soon deserted. The Trotskyites defeated th e Marxists in th e south and united with th e Nationalis ts in the freedom fight . The southern military leader (a Marx ist) Nguyen Binh was liquidated in 1952 on direct orders of the North Vi et Minh high command. Th e Communists in the North reformed , and in 1952, formed th e Lao Dong or Communist party with Ho Chi Minh as 'their leader. In two years th ese forc es controlled all the territory north of the fourteenth parallel, but the Geneva Conference divided Viet Nam at the seventeenth parallel, placing Hu e and Da Nang in th e southern country. South V iet Nam , or Vi et Nam Cong Hua, has an area of 65,948 square miles and a population of a'bou't 15,700,000. North Viet Nam , or Viet Nam Dan Chu Cong Hua , comprises 61,293 square miles a nd has a population of 17,800,000. The Communists withdrew 100,000 troops north of the line, but left some 5,000 behind for futur e use. The Diem regime began in 1954 and by 1955 was persecuting everyone who thought differently than it did . The underground flourish ed in such an environment and its strong holds wer~ at Chaudoc near the Cambodian border and at Long Xuyen in the rich Mekong Delta region. By 1959 it was apparent that Diem was in trouble . The Lao Dong decided to support the fighters in the South. This led to the formation of the Vietnam Cong San (the so called Viet Cong) which had a minority of Communists in its numbers. In September , 1960, Ho was removed as head of the Lao Dong but was retained as pres ident of North Viet Nam. Le Duan now lead the Lao Dong.

Pase 3 Go Go Gauguin At a recent exhibition of my paintings I was watching a woman visitor very carefolly scrutinizing my work. There was an air of bewilderment about her as she looked out of the lower section of her bifocals at my paintings, then walking back about five paces would peer at them out of the upper lenses, and smile very quizzically. This little minuet went on for some minutes as she moved about the gallery, pausing now here and there, a liftle while longer with some than with others until she reached me. Flushed by the excitement of the dance , she looked up at me, slightly adjusting her glasses, said, "You must be Mr. Richards." I said, " How do you know?" She smiled, "You look like an artist." "Just what does an artist look like?" I said. CAe,-,.~ CA,p Cox loses again courses. A charge of $2.50 per hour is shared by the Junius Society and the tutor. Buoyed by its recent experience, the Junius Society is hoping to expand this service to other areas of instruction. A bus trip to the Allentown-Bethlehem area is being planned for April. Interested students will visit reconstructed historical sites during the morning and will participate in an oldfash ioned country picnic in the afternoon. Efforts are being made to locate a band in the Allentown area to provide music for this occasion. The next meeting of the Junius Society and the International Relations Club will be held Tuesday at 11 a.m. on the second floor of the Wyoming Historical Society, located behind the Osterhout Library. ~ With that for openers, the game seemed a little tame for I had expected some stimulating denouement. Stepping back a pace or two as if to get a better perspective and size me up, she said, " I never saw sky that color. And why do you paint those flat forms and those patterns of strong color?" "I think nature is quite abstract, depending on how subtle you are with its interpretation. Haven't you ever heard about the synthesis of nature? The theory of art that Emile Gauguin fostered and which, incidentally, was his most important contribution to the world of art." "No, the movie was adapted from a book by Somerset Maugham about the life of Gauguin. But you know those Hollywood movies and how they can distort and destroy whole truths." "Well," she said, "it was in color, just simply beautiful color. And on a wide screen, too. " I had just begun to get the feel of the content of thought which I was going to expound to . . .

Dr. Harold "Hire the Handicapped" Cox prepares to meet his pie. by Patsy Moir The annual Cherry Tree Chop, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club, was held recently, and music was provided by the Rising Sons. In the log sawing contest, Bill Leyden and Bruce Comstock emerged the victors over Dean Ralston and Mr. Evangelista. Even after the Lettermen had sawed their log in half, the faculty persevered, completing their log only seconds later. Dr. "The South shall rise again " Cox was defeated by Jay Holliday in the pie-eating contest, but not without protest. Dr. Cox claims that while his hands were being tied, Jay was sneak- ing bites from his cherry pie. He remedied this situation, however, by calling in his aide, Sharon Going, who promptly pushed Jay 's face into the pie and began to hand-feed pie to Dr. Cox. In retaliation, Jay called on three of his fellow Lettermen , who promptly helped him fini sh his pie and enabled him to beat Dr. Cox. The choice of the winner was left to the audience, who promptly gave Holliday thumbs up, notwithstanding threatened failure in Dr. Cox' History 102 course. The dance was considered a success by all the Lettermen, who invited Dr. Cox to try again next year. f ,-ep,,-tJ Activity forms explained by Tom Kelly The present members of SG welcomed the newly-elected Freshmen representatives to their first meeting. These new members are Bill Bennett, Katie Eastman, Dan Kopen , Odey Raviv, and Joe Thunnell. Following the meeting, SG members attended the academic integrity committee meeting. At this lengthy meeting the advantages and disadvantages of an honor code were discussed. Although it is not within the realm of this report to discuss the details of the honor code, it is my responsibility to reflect the desire of both SG and the Academic Integrity Committee. It is the desire of SG that each student will think seriously about the honor code, will formulate his own opinion of it, and will honestly express his opinion by voting either for or against this unique proposal. As chairman of the calendar committee of SG, I would like to clarify a procedure discussed in some of our recent meetings. Near the end of the I stood waiting for some great revelation that would be an intelligent and scintillating answer, for how else would one want to start a conversation. My hair isn't long, I wash frequently, my tie wasn't red or a wispy ribbon, my suit was conservative. Then her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "It's because of your pink shirt." "Who did you say? Gauguin? Didn't he make a movie, something about a 'Moon and Sixpence'?" Laughing slyly, she said, "And didn't that Frenchman Gauguin have a go at those South Sea island native girls?" Lecture series starts in March The Junius Society, in cooperation with the International Relations club, has organized a lecture series to begin in March '67 and continue through the spring of '69. The series, entitled "Conflicts of Peace," is intended to stimulate the educational process by offering the student body, the faculty , and members of the community an opportunity to hear and question indiviouals of diverse countries , to better understand their domestic and foreign policies, and to increase their awareness of each nation's role in world politics. Each program will be held at the Center for the Performing Arts and will begin at 8 p.m. Programs already organized include: "The Problems of a Small Country in This Modern World" with guest speaker Mr. J. P. van den Bogaert, the director of the Netherlands Information Service in New Yark, and "The War in Viet Nam" which will feature Mr. Do Lenh Tuan, first secretary of the Observer Office of the Republic of Viet Nam to the United Nations. The former is slated for Wednesday, March 8, 1967, while the latter is scheduled for Wednesday, April 5, 1967. Future programs include a study of "Civil Rights: Private vs. Public Rights" and lectures by the United Arab Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany. There will be no admission charged at any of the programs in this lecture series. The Junius Society has also undertaken two tutorial programs. The first, designed to aid all students of the College engaged in taking history courses, will be offered free of charge to interested students. A room is being sought on campus where this service can be administered. Each student will receive qualified training in each of the areas where help will be given, and, in addition, up-to-date research source files are being gathered to assist students seeking primary and secondary material for term papers. The second tutoring program, begun last semester, is aimed at helping high school students in their level of history "Well, " she said, hedging for a minute, trying to think of an interesting reply. spring semester of last year. " calendardate request forms " were sent to every campus organization. These were completed and returned to SG. During the summer months, the calendar committee, diligently complying with the procedure described in the constitution, formulated the activities of the school calendar. Letters were then sent to the presidents of all organizations informing them of the dates of their o rganizations ' activities. Throughout this year the. ~hairman of the calendar committee places an "activity form " and a " chaperon report form " in the mail box of every organization several weeks prior to that organization's scheduled activity . (Constitutionally, this is not necessary because it is the organization's own responsibility to obtain an "activity form" from SG.) The " activity form" must be completed and returned to the SG mailbox in the Bookstore one week prior to the activity. Thus, the "activity form" can be approved by SG and/ or the SG president and by the chairman of the calendar committee. By returning this completed form , SG knows that the scheduled event will be conducted and that it will be properly chaperoned. This "activity form " is then filed in the SG office for any future reference. The chaperon may, at his convenience, complete and return the "chaperon report form" to Gordon Roberts, director of student activities. It is SG's policy to fine organizations one dollar per academic day that the " activity form " is late. ( A memorandum to this effect also accompanies the "activity form ." ) This policy had to be imposed because many clubs were neglecting to return their activity forms. We do not want to act like publicans and impose a fine on any club. If you are a chairman of any activity, please cooperate with us by returning your form on time. If any organization President desires a more detailed explanation of the above procedure, please contact me personally, or attend our SG meetings. The woman looked at me and said, ·1 didn 't say."

The making of a president "When I was just a lad of three, my father said to me: 'Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree '." Do you know how it feels to see your father talk to a lemon tree? My father was taken away three days later. I was filled with hate. All I had left was a lemon tree. Do you know how it feels to go to the Cub Scout Father and Son Dinner with a lemon tree? My hate grew until I couldn't control it. I took my ax and ran at the tree. I swung the ax, and I heard someone say, "Stop!" I looked around - there was no one there. The tree had spoken - the tree had spoken! My father wasn't crazy! I was so happy; I hugged and kissed that glorious talking tree. Lemon juice drenched my skin; bark stung my tongue and got caught between my teeth. Wait a minute - my father 's rotting away in a sanitarium and this tree is talking! I took my ax and hacked it down. I heard laughing. I turned. A cherry tree was laughing. I suddenly realized the cherry tree was a ventriloquist. Laughing, I chopped the cherry tree down. A cop started yelling at me, "Did you chop that cherry tree down?" I yelled, "No .. . I don't care if I never become president! " �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 'Page 4 • Per-capita income discussed al CIS by Klaus Loquasto The Institute of Regional Affairs at the College recently conducted the fourth session of its Community Leadership Program at the Irem Temple Country Club. The prime objective of the leadership program is to enable government to operate more effectively so that the "renaissance" of Northeastern Pennsylvania may develop soundly. The program is designed to accomplish this task by drawing together local community leaders and national authorities and by sponsoring a seminar in which they can discuss problems of area development. "Planning for Excellence in Regional Development" was the problem of _this month 's -seminar, and it was introduced by the principal speaker, John H. Cumberland, Ph.D., professor of econ;,mics at the University of M~ryland. Edgar Lashford, executive vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, and Robert De Young, assistant professor of economics at the College, were the local resource personnel assisting with the discussion period. One of the propositions de signed to create discussion was: There · is " .. . one basic problem in ~he econ- omy of Northeastern Pennsylvania . This is a current and persistent insufficiency of income per-capita." It was stated that four major factors were responsible for the income insufficiencies: an over-concentration of employment exists in low-wage-paying industries; the investment of capital in industries is low; relatively small industries predominate, causing uneconomic use of capital; and managerial talent, especially in the "middle management group," is lacking. Such proposals are designed to stimulate thought, not to "spoon-feed" a point of view. The Community Leadership Seminar allows discussion of these topics in an informal atmosphere, and it is aimed at the people who are likely to be the leaders ten to fifteen years from now. It is hoped that with prepared business leaders, the predicted renaissance of Northeastern Pennsylvania will become a permanent reality. The Community Leadership Seminar is made possigle under a Title I grant of the Higher Education Act of 1965 made to the Institute of Regional Affairs at the College.

( the National Liberation Front) formed as a political front of the Viet Cong. By 1962 Communism was back in South Viet Nam in the form of the People·s Revolutionary Party which acts as a co-ordinator between and among all-pro-Communist, anti-Saigon, anti-American groups in the whole of South Viet Nam and the North Vietnamese groups. This party had 100,000 members by July, 1966. It was known six months ago that ten per cent of all troops in the South which oppose the Saigon government were from the North and more were coming all the time. T-hese are the facts; the conclusions are for you to make. (Continued from page 2) Presidents' Council Dear Editor: As it should be known by now, a Council of Club Presidents has been formed on campus. This council is made up of the thirty-four existing clubs which should mean representation of all Wilkes students. This council has two main areas of concern: inter-club sharing of ideas and experiences and acting as a liaison between clubs and SG. The first area of concern is quite important, and its results are quite obvious - friendly communications! T-he second area has many new and hidden implications and deserves some careful deliberation. Presently, this council is without any official power to rule on any club's affairs this may change! It is known by many that some clubs are very weak and practically non-existent until it comes time to ask Student Government for money for an intercollegiate function (sometimes turning out to be a strictly social affair). It is also a fact that certain clubs are not living up to their constitutions. Now that the group to bring forth and to help alleviate most of these problems has been structured, a "new awakening " should take place among all club officers, all club members, and Student Government. It should become a ruling that weak and inactive clubs must prove themselves worthy and purposeful in the eyes of the council and of SG if they are to deserve recognition and consideration for funds from SG, who gets money from you, the students of the College.

Regulations are posted in Conyngham Annex. people only subtly insinuate. The only fault with his comment is that it is based on a multiple of fallacies and total lack of historical perspective. It is fallacious to attribute the views of the IRC Forum writer on Rhodesia to the policies of the whole Beacon. The comparison of the beginnings of the U .S. government in 1776 and the beginnings of the illegal Rhodesian government in 1965, despite the two centuries and a great deal of differences in circumstances, has no virtue except one of coloration. The supremacist and master race concepts, which are the backbones of the Rhodesia government, have served the world with its tragedies such as the world wars and , of course, the Rhodesian situation. To support such ill concepts, and to maintain that four million people be sacrificed to the whims of a few white supremacists in Rhodesia , because doing otherwise would be ignoring the history of the U .S., shows lack of integrity and faulty moral ap praisal on the part of the writer. The author of the letter should have also specified what Africans he was referring to in his attempt to discredit the IRC article. There are only three Africans at the College who might be flattered if their popularity is sought after, but such popularity would be of little practical importance since they form about 0.2 percent of the student body. On the other hand, I can give him a money-back guarantee that no Africans outside of Wilkes College know of the existence of the Beacon, let alone read it. That leaves him no basis for discrediting the article as nothing else but a naked attempt to seek African popularity. Was it then just one of those indirect victimizations hurled at the Africans one frequently meets? Barron Mkwaila, African Student HONOR CODE Dear Editor: Having read the questions raised at the recent meeting of student leaders with Academic Integrity Committee, I detect what I think may be an unhealthy trend in the proposed hon or system. It appears that the honor code will eventually broaden into a non-academic, social code. I definitely agree with the academic honor system; if students want to be allowed a hand in matters affecting them, they must first accept the responsibility of governing themselves. Let me, however, give a somewhat exaggerated example of what may happen if an additional social code is accepted. The consumption or possession of alcohol on campus is forbidden . But a student may consume off campus, if he is of age, legally. From one point of view, the student is a representative of the College wherever he goes and therefore subject to the social code. From another, he is an individual who should be allowed to have a private life on his own time. In this case, a potentially unwieldy social code could cause much strife. Of course, this type of code may not be enforced; if so, what good is it? I urge the acceptance of a code; but I urge that the code be expounded more fully. Sincerely, Klaus Loquasto �Friday, February 24, 1967 WILKES THE HIGH POST by Walt Narcum A week ago Wednesday we witnessed some spirited action at the East Stroudsburg-Wilkes meet. Sad to relate, not all of the action took place on the mats. The outbreak of hostilities in the stands was quelled luckily at its onset, and the action was not allowed to escalate. We would not like to imagine what could have happened had things gotten out of hand. Men, women, and children could have been seriously hurt in the bleachers which are treacherous enough without their being the scene of action best left to the mats. It is understandable that tempers should flame when Colonel fans witness their team's receiving an unusual setback. However, thinking students should consider the consequences of their actions before instigating action w hi ch could make them even sorrier than last Wednesday's loss at the hands of East Stroudsburg. This brings us to an unpleasant fact which Colonel fans must accept if they are to be realistic. The Colonels are not going to win every meet or game in which they will participate. False rumors have been circulating that Wilkes has an athletic factory. This is not true now, never was, and probably never will be. Our success this year has not been due to a high caliber of athletes who have come from the valley and who have been attracted by Wilkes' high academic standards. To the best of .our knowledge, there isn't a single Wilkes athlete here on a full scholarship! Wilkes puts out amateur athletic teams as opposed to some of the professional teams put out by other colleges. For those who aren·t aware of the difference, we would like to explain. Many schools will field a team, all of whose members receive full tuition, room, and board, plus 15 dollars a month for laundry. These players will also hold down pseudo-jobs for which they receive additional compensation. For instance , at one Pennsylvania school , an athlete was held responsible for making sure that the football field had not disappeared from one week to the next. A pro-player would be impressed by the displays some colleges put on to a'ttract outstanding high school athletes. One school flies high school sen iors to their campus and then puts them up at a hotel during their visit. The athletes are provided with guides who are given a large wad of money to make sure that the athlete wants for nothing during his stay. The high school athlete is also provided with "dates" to make sure that they won·t get hom esick during their visit. Even the policies of the highly respected Ivy League schools are not immune from professionalism. Outstanding athletes are given preference for admittance on the grounds that there is more to college than education. Once an athlete is in an Ivy League school, •he is assured that he will never have to drop out for financial reasons. Wilkes is not a " factory ." We may not win every contest in which we participate, but th en, we're not paying the price. COLLEGE E. Stroud lops Wilkes lor their lirst setback The Wilkes grapplers were riding along with a 9-0 season's record before they met the East Stroudsburg Warriors. The Warriors displayed awesome power in downing the previously unbeaten Willtes Colonels by a 26-3 score. The Warriors took eight out of nine bouts in remaining undefeated on the season. The Warriors were the last team to turn the trick against the Colonels. Although the Warriors took eight bouts, they were only able to muster one pin throughout the night. The pin was registered by East Stroudsburg 's Bushong when he pinned Jim McCormick in I: 17 of the first period . The Colonels didn 't register -their first win until the seventh match of the night when Dick Cook claimed an impressive 7-0 decision over Czahor. Things were really cooking last Wednesday as another Cook, this time from East Stroudsburg, came back to turn in an 8-1 decision in the penultimate bout of the night. In all but one of their eight victories, the Warriors were in complete command. The most spirited bout came when previously unbeaten Joe Wiendl took on Dalgewicz, who went on to pull out a squeaker by decisioning Wiendl, 3-2. In the final bout the Colonels' Fran Olexy suffered his first defeat of the season when he was completely outweighed by East Stroudsburg's Metle r. Dickinson Last Saturday, the Colonel grapplers rebounded from their loss to East Stroudsburg by soundly trouncing Dickinson, 34-3. The tables were turned this time as the Colonels won light matches, whereas Wednesday they lost eight bouts. Five of the Colonel wins came via the fall route. Steve Kaschenbach , Joe Wiendl, Dick Cook, Barry Gold and Fran Olexy all registered pins. The win brought the Colonels' record to 10-1. Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. the grapplers will be away at Fons discussed Dick Cook, this week's athlete of the week, avoids a shutout by easily winning via the decision route 7-0. Dick has suffered only one defeat this year and that a 6-5 decision at Lycoming. Cook captures honors lor his brilliant work This week the Beacon honors Dick Cook as Athlete of the Week. Junior co - captain of the wrestling squad, Cook has proved to be the best of an outstanding team . Against East Stroudsburg, C ook brightened an otherwise dismal night with the Colonels' only victory. He brought his record to 9-1 on Saturday with his second pin of the year. His only loss was a 6-5 decision to Lycoming's Mel Fleming. This is Dick's third year as Wilkes· starting 167-pounder, and from his first match he has shown great promise. Last year he helped Wilkes take the MAC Championship by carting off the deciding victory in the finals against Lycoming 's Mel Fleming. To top off a great sophomore year, he was named an All-American honorable mention. This year he is expected by Bob Thompson to retain his MAC 167 -pound title and is given a good chance to gain an NCAA crown at the tournament which will be held on March 9 and 11 , at Wilkes. Cook is a history major from Kingston, Pa., and he was an outstanding wrestler at Kingston High School. D ear Editor: On behalf of the wrestling team and myself, I want to thank the student body of Wilkes College for the wonderful support they gave us at the East Stroudsburg wrestling meet. The a'ttendance of a good percentage of our students and the enthusiasm that they displayed was very gratifying . I would also like to congratulate our students on the way they handled themselves during the meet. By not stooping to the level of the visiting students, which was disrespectful and at time downright disgusting , you showed the difference between solid citizens and village idiots. The wrestlers and I were very proud of you and although we lost to a very good Stroudsburg team, who incidentally deserves all the credit in the world for their performance and behavior, we hope that next year when we wrestle them , we can make you as proud of us.

The Colonelettes took the lead early in the first quarter and kept it throughout the game. Each team made 14 fie-Id goals and the Wilkes team won on free throws, making 15 of 27 from the line. A few days later, the Colonelettes lost to undefeated Muhlenberg, 34-26. The first quarter ended in a 16-5 lead for Muhlenberg, and Wilkes was unable to catch up. The Colonelettes were outscored from the Boor, 13-12 and from the line, 8-2. Outstanding player of the game was Muhlenberg's Cathy Bailey with 25 points. The Colonelettes traveled to Marywood for their first away game of the season and again defeated them, 37-32. The Colonelettes took the lead early in the game but Marywood came back in the third quarter and took the lead, 28-27. A good defensive effort on the parts of Wilkes' guards, Jani e Millen and Janie Rifenbery, kept the Marywood squad down to 4 points in the fourth quarter. Wilkes lost their second game, 5330, to undefeated Misericordia. Miseri's defense kept the Colonelettes' field goals down to 9 w hile they hit for 22. Last Saturday the Colonelettes went to Bloomsburg and lost their third game, 42-39. Bad passing and the loss of two forwards through fouls lost the game for the Wilkes squad. Although Wilkes scored 15 field goals to Bloom's 13, and both teams made 50 percent of their field goals, the Colonelettes •had 23 foul s called against them to Bloom's 15. Monday, Wilkes played Albright in their last home game of the season. The Albright squad kept the lead until the third quarter, but the Wilkes offense scored 13 points to Albright's 9 in the last quarter, winning the game, 35-34 .

On Monday the basketball squad lost a heartbreaker to Susquehanna University, 81-78. Displaying the teamwork and polish that beat Moravian, they fell behind the high-scoring Crusaders, almost pulled it out in the last mi.n ute, then finally succumbed. "Ou~ Guys" L~~-r by Bob Thompson In the past week the basketball squad added one win and two losses to its record with a 65-60 conquest of Moravian and losses of 71-64 to Madison FDU and 81-78 to Susq uehanna. In the second feature of the February 15 double-header, the cagers dropped another class contest and again because of the difference from the foul line. The Colonels took a slim margin to the locker room, but a mid-second-period surge by Mad ison FDU gave them the edge which the Colonels were not able to overcome. With five minutes to go, Madison began to freeze the ball, and Wilkes was forced to foul them to stop the clock. However, Madison converted all of them and left with a 71-64 victory. Jim Smith had 26 points for Wilkes and continued his fine playing. The Colonels then took their second MAC contest with a 65-60 victory over Moravian on Saturday. Agiinst a tough Moravian quint, the Colonels played one of their best games of the season despite a cold hand early in the second half. Moravian led 43-31 at the half, mostly on the shooti ng of 6'6" John Fore who had ten points in the first half.

XXVI, NO. 16 King's prolessor holds night class by Joyce Lennon "Ten years ago something like this wouldn't have happened." Dr. Hugo Mailey by this statement was referring to the presence of Dr. Donald Buzinkai on the faculty of the College Evening School. The novelty of Dr. Dr. Buzinkai Buzinkai's position lies in the fact that he is also a member of the history and government department at King 's. During the day he teaches at King 's, and on Monday evenings, he conducts a class in Soviet government at the College. Dr. Buzinkai is teaching this course in response to an emergency situation at the College. Previously, Dr. Bronis Kaslas served as instructor for the Sovie t Government course, but due to his taking a leave of absence a vacancy occurred. Since no one on the College faculty was able to teach the course, Dr. Buzinkai agreed to accept the position. This arrangement does not indicate the emergence of a teacher exchange between the two schools. It is, however, an indication that the barrier between the two is lessening. This is a first , not necessarily one in a series, and not necessarily the last. As Dr. Mailey commented, "I wouldn 't say it's a beginning, but I wouldn 't say it's an end." More time is needed to judge what the result will be. Registration The num'ber of Wilkes College students preparing to teach in public schools is increasing. The education department is preparing to cope with this increasing demand by requiring students to apply for admission to the teacher education program during their sophomore year. Any sophomore wishing to enter the program may apply during a two-week period which began on Monday, February 27. Application forms may be secured from Mr. West, director of student teaching, in Room 41, Parrish. His hours for this purpose are 9 to 11 :30, daily until March 10.

Her daytime off-campus attire consisted of a black and white hound's tooth checked coat with off-center buttons, a straight basic black sleeveless wool dress and black patent leather sling-back heels. In the evening category of the contest, the best-dressed coed, escorted by Tom Ambrosi, wore an empire styled floor-length sleeveless gown with a pale tourquoise chiffon skirt and a pale yellow, moss green, and pale turquoise embroidered bodice. The back of the gown had a Boating panel attached to the bodice by a small velvet turquoise bow. She wore matching moss green heels and operalength gloves. Leslie carried a yellow nosegay. Pictures of the Best Dressed Coed, in each of her different outfits, were rushed to New York to meet the deadline for the Glamour contest. After receiving a congratulatory kiss from Rich Roshong , who represented the Lettermen, she received a dozen red, long-stemmed roses and credit for a hair styling at Michael Quare 's studio. Like all the other finalists, she also received a charm from AWS. Suzy Kallen, president of A WS and chairll)an of the affair; her assistants, Cathi Biderman, Joni Kirschenbaum, Suzi Rowland, and Rona Kalin, stated to this reporter that they felt the contest was a success. Leslie Calamari by Irene Norkaitis Leslie Calamari, a junior fine arts major from Fords, New Jersey, was recently chosen the campus' Best Dressed Coed. She won the title over nine other girls, who were also chosen semi-finalists on the basis of poise , posture, clothes sense, and good grooming. Liz Slaughter was named runner-up. For her campus ensemble, Leslie chose a long-sleeved, plum poorboy sweater with a checked plum and offwhite hip-hugger skirt. She wore Teachers, students see different course needs Various students and faculty members were questioned by the Beacon survey team concerning what curriculum changes they would like to see initiated at the College. The faculty responses are as follows: Dr. Philip Riz.w: A course in Greek drama , supplemented by a course in Greek culture for a basic understanding of the classics in the context of their morality. After all, tke Greeks were geometricians of matters moral. Mr. Kanner: A seminar in applied psychology is needed for psychology majors to correlate knowledge of the various courses in this field. Miss Charlotte Lord: A seminar course is needed for senior English majors. The subject area of the seminar would be decided by selected students in the area they felt most needed in-depth study. Classical literature is a field that English majors find they are deficient in as evinced by performance on Graduate Record Examinations. Dr. Mizianty: As far as courses are concerned, I think that there should be more required science courses for nonscience majors simply because they need them. Mr. Hapeman: Geology, astronomy and demography should be given as courses because they involve both Editorial, p. 2 Friday, March 3, 1967 Practice teachers enter area schools by Irene M. Norkaitis A total of 70 student teachers, 44 secondary and 26 elementary, started their practice teaching on Monday, and will be in area schools until April 21. Public school districts which are co-operating with the College are: Wilkes-Barre, Wyoming Valley West, Wyoming Area, Central Luzerne County Jointure, and Nanticoke-Plymouth Township Jointure. The College's student teaching program provides two experiences for the student teacher. For a period of four weeks, the student teachers have courses at the College supervised by the education department, and for the remaining eight weeks, they are assigned to a cooperating teacher from the local school districts. Finally, they return to campus for the remaining four weeks. Those practice teaching in elementary schools are: Linda Kuligowski. Marilyn Goodman, Larry Major, Richard Kopko, Vivian (Vicki) Ronan , Sharon Barbett, Carole Thomas, Antoinette Supchak, Joseph Adomiak, Jo Ann Kostrab, Vernie Shiposh, Helen Smereski , Mary Ellen Zwonick, Caroline Traigis, Cheryl Traverse, Sandra Grinzi, Rosalie Leone, Marilyn Klick, Joan Wronski, Richard Roshong , Maureen Savage , Janice Karpinski, Joan Stanziola, Cheryl Tarity, Terry Bienkoski , and Valma Major. Those teaching in the secondary schools are: Tanya April, Susan Baker, Howard Bombe, Sylvia Carstensen, David Cowan, Walter Dalon, Get it in the ear - theory and application. They deal with the real world, the scientific study of what really happens as opposed to experimental methods, or, for example, the results of the controlled environment of production lines. Mr. Kaska: We need a creative writing course. This is certainly necessary for interested English majors who show potential in the field of creative writing and want to develop this potential to its greatest possibility. Mr. Stein: There are many on campus as a whole, but speaking for my own department, I think that there should be more courses on commercial art design and lettering . Also, we must delve deeper into the courses that we have. Initiate advanced courses. There should be courses on figur e drawing. Our students are not taught enough to go on to graduate school, only to go on to a teaching career. Our problem lies not in filling in an inadequacy, but rather in improving the existing situation as it is now. Dr. Reil: Spelling , because they can't spell. The students interviewed replied in the following manner: Joe Koterba: I think that the College should institute a plan whereby the male students of the College are given the opportunity to participate in the ROTC program. In this way the unnecessary pressure of the draft would be eliminated. This would also prevent spending time after graduation in preparation for the military. Herb Godfrey: There should be a degree offered in physical education. T'his would not hurt the academic rating of the College. The present lack discourages many students from coming to Wilkes. Ed Burke: The school should create a course in physical therapy. This is a growing field which demands a great number of skilled professionals. Marian Melnyk: A degree in journalism should be offered at Wilkes. This would provide English majors with an opportunity to enter a specialized field. Many students who would like to major in English at Wilkes enter other fields because of the limited career openings that would be available to them. Kathie Hannon: I would like to see more two-year certified terminal programs offered. I also think that if you are exempt from a subject, you should receive credit for that subject instead of being required to substitute another. [Continued on page 2) Clark Bromfield, Bette Neroda, and the Brandewine Trio provided entertainment after each of the three categories in the contest. The other finalists and their escorts were: Barbara Dorish and Roger Brewer; Margie Fishman and Joe Wiendl; Elizabeth Hughes and Joe Frappoli; Leslie Marino and Bruce Comstock; Linda Mead and Fran Olexy; Barbara Ohlin and Rich Beatty; Sharon Parker and Bill Stinger; Liz Slaughter and Dave Thomas; and Darlene Van Meter and Bill Layden.

Summer school 1n Israel The State University College at Oneonta is offering an eight-week I %7 summer session course from June 26 to August 23, on "Modern Israel " to be given at the new campus of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Approved by the Foreign Study Committee of the State University of New York, the course is open to undergraduate and graduate students who meet the entrance requirements of the State University College at Oneonta . �Friday, March 3, 1967 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Laugh, Laugh, Laugh ruling criticized by Joseph Brillinger At Monday night's mee ting , Student Government was confronted with a problem which is, at one time or another in theory, a problem to any organization or individual. C .C.U.N . requested f,unds to send ten delegates to a New York convention. The SG constitution s tates that a club can receive either $10 per delegate or a total of $125 for all the del egates, whichever is less. In this case since C .C .U.N. is sending ten delegates, then the most that they can receive is $100. C.C.U.N. had already received $30, so they were now entitled to $70. But this $70 is not enough to defray the remaining cost of some $95. A motion was made, however, that based on a 1963 precedent in which two delegates received $26, we allocate $95 to the club, instead of $70 as determined by the constitution. But this was immediately argued because such a motion was strictly opposed to the terms of the constitution. Divided on these two alternatives, SG voted to give C.C.U.N. only $70. The decision has been reached in this case, but the problem does not necessarily s tand solved. Perhaps a change in the constitution is needed. As was observingly pointed out by the president of C.C.U.N. (and I hope the other members of Student Government took note of this) , $10 per delegate may be slightly out of whack with regard to the present. It is believed .·that this $10 per delegate rule was formulated several years ago. Mr. Z ~browski pointed out that in the few years that he has been here , the application fee for this same convention has risen $6. The logical conclusion is then , should not the constitution try to change and give with the times? c~uc::,HT, .... oR. , , , , n-u: STPAW8eAA Y T\.4"T COtJCl10Ei~t> Tt46"" WOR.Lt>, ~E\...1..0 'FeL-IC.I A,,, , , \.-\~L-LO ?/! Is THAT i\LL. S~'I? \4 ~~e WS A2E "" Definitely, yes. but . . . Changes take time and no one can expect a constantly up-to-date constitution. I think this should be our goal. although we can not hope to fully succeed. In this case I think the rule needs a serious re-examination. I thank C .C.U.N . for bringing this problem to the attention of S .G . Even Student Government can be wrong . .. or at least a little behind the times! And more ... The recently established Council of Club Presidents, according to Barry Miller, is progressing and has already established a constitution. The organization, designed to standardize the role of clubs and to serve as a liaison between SG and clubs, has proposed ethical standards for its own behavior through the newly formulated constitution. Regarding SG's continued attempt to integrate all factions of the College, it was reported that Dr. Farley would receive a joint recommendation from the administrative council and SG proposing a tri-party committee, composed of students, faculty and Administration. Mike Hamilton and Tom Kelly are presently formulating structural plans for another tri-party committee that would review cases that might be objects of controversy or questioning. Both co-chairmen were given a vote of confidence to proceed with the plans and subsequently to submit the blueprint to Dr. Farley. The Folk Festival, scheduled for March 14. is presently being planned by committee chairman Jean Marie Chapasko and co-chairman Odie Raviv. The first rule of life is to believe that the truth is really the absurd. Expect the lowest common denominator most of the time and your expectations will bear fruit after the branches of reality have pointed the way. To believe that the ideal should be is the fastest way to insanity. Therefore, no one ~hould have been surprised, shocked or dismayed to learn that the CIA has been financing the NSA, or the National Student Association. Is it really so ludicrous to imagine that an arm of the government would be supplying funds to an organization going on record as supporting the legalization of marijuana, the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam and other assorted stands which are constantly gnawing at the stomachs of the right-wing elements in our society? The BEACON, therefore, would like to go on record as predicting that the CIA and not the Russians have been financing the Viet Cong, Mario Savio, and even Ronald Reagan. Actually, all it takes to understand the world is a sardonic sense of humor. Then you can live. Students take it • the ear Recalling that it should be the policy of the College's newspaper to comment on the happenings around campus, the BEACON wants to take an official stand on the jukebox in the old ca£. And then we will have variations on that theme. (So maybe it's a lousy pun, but lousy puns are BEACON editorial policy.) At first we could not believe our auditorial vehicles ( the first rule of bad writing, to which this paper is also dedicated, is to always split an infinitive, use a circumlocution. We digress; we guess.) that we're actually hearing the Mamas and the Papas, the Rolling Stones, Donovan, Simon and Garfunkle and other assorted panderers of this generation's alienation. Anybody will do anything for money. So that's almost a pun. What is really significant about the jukebox is that the Older Generation, the Administration and Dr. Rei£ have unwittingly contributed to our schizophrenia, the dropout rate, the War in Vietnam (so who's going to study now). Obviously, they do not know what they do. No one minds this expression of paternalism, and we £eel the Administration should know it. Tt-le VEC2.6&' OF JvUC.1..cA-R~OL.OCMJST") \JJFL.

Taking an active part in this organization are Wilkes, Kings , Misericordia, WilkesBarre Business College and Penn State Center. Miss Susan Davis, director of volunteers at Red Cross. has been very prominent in helping the College Youth by setting up various committees to help organize forthcoming activities and in preparing an "International Room" designated for the College youth by the executive board of Red Cross. The room will feature displays and posters from all over the world. The first activity that the Youth Committee will sponsor is an " international reception" to be held on Friday, March 3, 1967, at 7:30 p.m. in the chapter house on South Franklin Street. This is for students from out- side continental United States presently living in Wyoming Valley. There will be a speaker who will encourage the students to become familiar with the International Red Cross Organization and to make use of its facilities whenever they have need. At the reception each student will have his picture taken and his voice recorded as a gift to be sent to ·his family . Refreshments are planned. Members of the youth organization are: Harry Shovlin and Bob Herman, Kings College; Barbara Sode and Kathleen Soracco, College Misericordia; John T. Tomczak, Penn State Center; John Butler, Jr., Wilkes-Barre Business College; and Richard Maye, president; Antoinette Supchak, vicepresident; Mary Beth Lucas, secretarytreasurer; and Arthur - Trevethan, Wilkes College. Dr. Byron Rinehimer of Penn State Center is chairman of the College Youth. Future plans of the youth committee are to organize the various college blood drives and a possible outing to be held at Hayfield House in Lehman.

The beliefs of the members range from completed disbelief to partial acceptance with new and varied opinions requested . All that is necessary is an interest in this area. Members of this group feel that the subject matter available on this topic is limited and have decided to bring books concerned with this field to the library and if possible, to arrange for speakers to come and discuss the probability or impossibility of U .F .O.'s.

SG representatives explained that since th ere was not enough room at present in t he library for study purposes, might it not be possible that a study area be arranged on the second floor of the Old Caf.

Cagers linish season with 6 wins, 15 losses In their final game of the season the Colonel cagers traveled to Dickinson where they closed a less than spectacular season by dropping a 92-83 contest. The loss brought the cagers' final season record to 6-15. Dickinson was led by six-foot, nineinch freshman John Dotti. Dotti used his height and some fine accuracy to score 34 points, 22 of th em in the first half. One step behind was the Colonels' Reuben Daniels who had 33 points in the game, 22 of them in the second half. Reuben hit 15 out of 2 I from th e field to boost his field goal percentage for the season. Also scoring in doubl e figures was Dale Nicholson with 19. Dale , as a senior, played his last game for the Colonels.

He hit his scoring peak of 27 points against Susquehanna after getting 26 points against Madison FDU and 18 points against Moravian. In the season's finale at Dickinson he scored 8 points while sitting out most of the contest because of personal foul s. At 6'1" Smith is one of the shortest forwards in the MAC, but he still manages his share of rebounds by utilizing his sense of timing. Smith's all-around aggressive play has sparked the team to some of its top p erformances of the season. Since mid-February he has been hampered by a face guard protecting a broken nose which he sustained in practice , but despite this guard he has reached his scoring peak. His combination of long set shots and moving jump shots forced opposition to guard him more closely, thus making it easier for the rest of the team. McDONALD'S HAMBURGERS Friday, March 3, 1967 Colonel grapplers picked ~~~~,~~~,~;,:~~~l ;:~~~~::~~~~~~~ lo Ithaca, 21-14 for th eir eleventh victory of the season. Andy Matviak, Jim McCormick, and Dick Cook all registered pins fo r the Colonels. Winning via the decision route were Joe Wiendl and Barry Gold. Fran Olexy, Wilkes' heavyweight via the draft , was unable to compete due to illness, and Wilkes was forced to forfei t th e last bout. Luckily, the Colonels had built up a wide margin and were not hurt by the five forfeit points. Moravian In their last dual meet of the season the Colonels notched their twelfth victory by downing an outclassed Moravian squad, 25-12. With pins by Matviak and McCormick, the Colonels held a 10-0 lead and were never headed, even though Moravian took the next three bouts to make it, 10-9. Joe Wiendl, with the Colonels' third pin of the night kept Wilkes out in front. Dick Cook and BEACON remain MAC champs The Colonel grapplers, defending MAC champs, are out to make it seven for eleven. Since the MAC championships were started a decade ago the Colonels have won six and are once again favored to repeat as MAC champs. This year the MAC's will be held at Moravian. Weigh-in was held today at 8 a .m. Elimination bouts begin this afternoon at I p.m. Tonight at 8 p.m. the quarter-final bouts will be held. Tomorrow will see the survivors going at each other at I p.m. in the semifinal bouts. At 7 p.m. the consolation matches will be held, which are to be immediately followed by the final bouts. Twenty-three teams are competing this year with a total of over 200 grapplers. Five wrestl ers are returning this year to defend their titles. In the 130pound class, Don Milone of Temple will be after his third straight MAC crown. Last year he and Wilkes' John Carr were named co-winners of the outstanding wrestler award. Joe Wiendl Lycoming, runner-up last year, will have Mitchell returning to defend his 137-pound crown. In the 145-pound class, West Chester's Dowhower will be returning. The host school, Moravian, will have its own defending champ, Dave Mucka, who last year took the 177 -pound crown. Last year the Colonels had three individual champs, but only one, Dick Cook will be returning this year to defend his 167 -pound title. Dick's toughest competition should come from Lycoming·s Mel Fleming, whom he defeated last year in the finals, 13-5. Cook, in his one meeting with Fleming this year, lost a close 6-5 decision. The teams to beat this year should be the same ones who finished in the top five last year when Wilkes was first with 74 points, Lycoming with 69 points, Temple with 63, West Chester with 52 points and Elizabethtown with 29. Having a fine sea;;on this year and one of the strong contenders for the 160-pound crown vacated by John Carr is the Colonels' Joe Wiendl. Wiendl has lost only one of his bouts this year in dual meet competition and that by a 3-2 decision. Visiting Colonel sports fans could very possibly witness back-to-back wins by Wiendl and Cook as the Colonels chalk up their seventh MAC championship. Mermen slop SI. Joe's lor their initial victory The Colonel mermen registered their sole victory of the season by edging St. Joseph's College, 46-41 , in a recent home meet. The aquamen, however, suffered defeat at the hands of Elizabethtown College, 63-32, and Dickinson College, 37-58, giving them a grey record of 1-8 for the season. In their truimph over St. Joseph 's, the Wilkesmen scored five of eleven possible first-place wins. Accounting·. for these were Jim Phethean with two, Dick Herrmann and Jon Valentine with one each, and the 400-yard freestyle relay team which consisted of Jim Pirino, Wayne Wesley, Bryn Kehrli and Phethean. Throughout the meet the lead bounced back and forth between the Colonels and the mermen from St. Joseph's with Wilkes entering the final event with a twopoint disadvantage. The Colonels however captured the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay , for seven points and their first victory. ley and Phethean. The Colonels met with tough opposi tion from the perennially strong Dickinson squad, this year"s MAC defending champion. The Wilkesmen did not fare so well against Elizabethtown and Dickinson. In the Elizabethtown meet the hosting Blue Jays garnered the lead in the first event of the contest and remained in front throughout the meet. Wilkes' Phethean, a constant first-place winner, accounted for one of the Colonels' two first-place wins in the contest. The other first was captured by the freestyle relay team which consisted of Kehrli, Pirino, Wes- Th is weekend Lavery, Wesley, Kehrli and Phethean will represent the Wilkes mermen at the MAC tournament being held at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. Phethean, who has seven first-place wins to his credit, claims two new school swimming records, was a member of a number of winning relay teams, and was a high school swimming champion, should prove quite valuable to the Colonels in garnering some honors in the tournament competition. ceuEIE H11dqu11rte11 for Lettlred WILKES JACKETS CHARMS- RINGS BROOCHES MINIATURE RINIS ACE HOFFMAN LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTS CENTER AND Studios and Camera Sllop 11 EAST IIIAIICET ITREET CHARM BRACELETS PORTRAIT, COMMERCIAL AND WILIIES-IAIRE FRANK CLARK Your S,erts H11d11uerters fer aver ZS years.

THE.BEACON VOL. XXVI, No. 17 Welcome, Wrestlers! Friday, March 10, 1967 Large majority rejects code The results of the student referendum, held on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, indicated that the incorporation of an honor code at the College would not be feasible at this time. Of the students who voted, over two-thirds were opposed to the establishment of an honor code. Indicating a more positive attitude, however, was the number of voters. The turnout, according to Dr. Harold E. Cox, acting chairman of the Academic Integrity Co~mittee, was probably the larges t in the history of the College. Custodian piles it -0n. See related editorial, page 2. Court set up in new dorm by Joe Gatto A student court was initiated on the third floor of the New Men's Dormitory this past week. It was necessitated by a general atmosphere of disorder which had been prevalent on the third floor since classes began in September. The court constitution was approved at a meeting of all third floor residents on Thursday evening, March 3. Dr. Farley opened the meeting with a 'brief address in which he expressed his strong approval of the student-initiated plan and further stated his encouragement of setting up a court for the entire New Men's Dormitory, if the effort on the third floor was to be successful. The Student Court, which consists of the presidents of each wing, the proctor from each wing, one student elected by the residents of each wing and one student chosen by the Administration from each wing , will serve a two-fold purpose : first, to maintain a condition conducive to study, and secondly, to review students' complaints and suggestions for bettering present dormitory conditions. The following officers were chosen: Joe Gatto, chairman; Bob Brown, vicechairman ; Bob Thurnau, secretary. Other members include Matt Moran, John Krip , Bill Hinckle, Bill Closson and Jim Neubauer.

This German film will be shown March 17 at two showings, 7 p.m. and 9 p.m ., in the Center for the Performing Arts. The film presents the career of Rosemarie Nitribitt (Nadja Tiller), a smalltime prostitute who sings on street corners until she is noticed by the managing director of a powerful cartel and becomes the mistress of first one and then most of his colleagues. The French seek information about the cartel and commission her to take down her clients' confessions on a tape recorder. When the whole group of industrialists of the Wirtschaftswunder realize that they are in the power of a prostitute and her foreign lover, she From an eligible body of 1967 students, 1.401 (71.1 percent) came to the polls. Those who voted for the code numbered 436 (31.1 percent) as opposed to the 965 (68.9 percent) who cast negative ballots. As it had been predicted, a large majority of commuting students voted against the honor code, but resident students also defeated the proposal. The majority in this case was smaller. is strangled in her apartment by a mysterious intruder. Reassured , the industrialists drive away in their identical black Mercedes cars. Receiving more attention than any German film since the war, Rosemary has proven to be more than a headline story to its audiences. As Rob ert Vas pointed out in Sight and Sound, it raised all the current issues in West Germany - " relics of Hitlerism, poverty, loneliness, cynicism, boredom " - in its story and musical interludes. Its mixture of satire and drama , and its stylized originality, make it uniqu e among contemporary German films . The film won the Italian critics' prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1958.

Marchetti, 3.26; Robert (Continued on page 3) It has been hypothesized that many students who voted negatively did so because of the code's apparent incompatibility with the present physical and sociological conditions at the College. According to the preliminary report of Subcommittee "A " of the AIC, for example, a study of 28 American colleges with existing .h onor systems shows that most of these colleges are over 50 years old. Sixteen of the colleges are over I 00 years old, and three are beyond 200. " . . . the sampling strongly indicates that institutions with honor systems tend to be older colleges and universities with strong and longestablished traditions." The nature of the student bodies was another consideration in this report. It was found that of the 28 schools, ten are for women only, and nine are for men only. Of the remaining schools, at least two were exclusively for men at the time of the incorporation of the honor system. A social factor prominent in this study group was denominational affiliation. A majority of these schools had denominational ties at the time w.h en their honor systems were adopted, and three of the colleges are now under state control while two are under federal control. Other physical factors were shown to be the size and type of the school. The report indicated that honor systems are most successful at colleges which are small enough to permit close personal contact among students, faculty , and administration. Of the colleges studied, 18 have enrollments of under 1,400 students. As the report stated, it is ironic that it is the increase in the size of Wilkes and the consequent decrease in personal contact which has led to increased inquiry into academic integrity. And , in addition to size, it was found that th e schools studied are almost completely residential. This is in accordance with the belief that schools in which the student body is predominantly non-resident are the most difficult in which to establish an honor system. The majority of students who live at home, it seems, do not identify with or contribute to the campus society. The last major consideration in this study was that of the pattern in which the honor systems were adopted. The majority of honor systems were initiated by students, but there were exceptions. At both Stevens Institute and Stanford University, the honor codes were proposed by the presidents; and they were adopted by the students shortly afterwards. A similar situation occurred at Knox College in Illinois. At Clarke, the impetus for an honor system came from a graduate student and the student newspaper. The point made here was that honor systems can be established not only through spontaneous student desires but also through the education of the student body to accept the responsibilities necessary for the operation of such systems. From this brief survey, however, it must be concluded that conditions at the College have been and are, still incompatible with the establishment of an honor system. Two previous attempts at honor systems have been made at Wilkes, one in 1958 and the other in 1962. Both attempts were originated by "splinter" groups within the student body; and although the second attempt yielded a better result than the first, both attempts failed, generally, for lack of support and a feeling among students that " it would not work." And present affairs at the College would seem to support this conclusion. Wilkes is a predominantly non - residential, independent, non - denominational, co-educational, and relatively young, rapidly expanding college. And so the prdblem of socio-physical incompatibility may have defeated the honor system at the College. Unless a suryey is made, however, this cannot b~ said for sure. It has been pointed out, at any rate, that because of the rapid rate of growth at the College, something must eventually be done to deal with the problem of academic integrity. Accordingly, the first of a series of meetings took place last Tuesday. It began discussion by the AIC of possible alternatives to an honor system at the College. The movement is young yet and information concerning the activities will be released at a later date. When asked what significance the results of the referendum had, Dr. Cox replied that the responsibility for many student affairs would surely remain with the faculty and Administration for the time being, at least. On the other hand, Cox points out, the polls were the scene of the largest turnout in the history of the College. The Colonels' Barry Gold is shown racking up his fourth win -0f the MAC championships. Barry went all the way to the finals, where he lost out to last year's defending champion in the 177-pound class, Dave Mucka. Story, page 4. �WILKES Page 2 The Snow Job on Ruby Tuesday The Administration last Tuesday once again showed its farsightedness in keeping the College open while all schools within a fifty-mile radius were closed. At first, the advantages of this act may not be apparent to the average student; however, it has been pointed out by the history department that there hasn't been such a well-planned campaign using the weather since the battle of Stalingrad. With this act the College has become a leader in controlling overcrowding of college campuses. The many students who were probably killed in their attempt to reach the intellectual hub of Wyominq Valley were naturally the more inept students and drivers. Thus, the College was rid of those not really worthy of a Wilkes education. After all, you have heard of trial by combat. Well, haven't you? While this course of action will at first rid the campus of superfluous day hops, the weeding out of dorm students wilt make itself apparent when and if a few of this group make it across foreboding Franklin Street to tell their ghastly tales of frostbite and rampant respiratory diseases to the angels of mercy at the Red Cross buildin9. The students also rid the campus of unwanted trees and shrubbery by using their branches for splints and fires. An indirect, but definitely beneficial effect of this decision was to provide the AMNICOLA with literally hundreds of students to whom this year's yearbook can be dedicated. In fact, it is probable that the number of dedication pictures will greatly outnumber those of the students who will manage to graduate this year. Some say that Wilkes is a colleqe without a heart. We don't know about that, but we do know that the Administration has a sense of humor. Blood and Iron What the world needs now is not love, sweet love, but a crafty, determined statesman like Disraeli or Bismarck. The end neither condemns nor justifies the means, and honesty is almost always a disadvantage in international dealings. The U.S. has been naive much too long in international affairs. Remember that Belgium tried to be an honest nation in two wars and got the tar slapped out of it twice. Might may not make right, but it does usually make success. tiMA L.< --- - ·· · · \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN FACULTY SEMINAR - Theodore Snyder- Faculty Lounge - Tonight, 7:45 p.m. DANCE- Freshman Class- Gym - Tonight, 9-12 p.m. LECTURE - EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOLOGY - Dr. Adrian Van Kaam, Aquinas Lecturer lrem Temple- Today, 10:15 a.m. BALLET -WIZARD OF OZ- FINE ARTS CENTER- Tomorrow and Sunday, 2:15 p.m. ART EXHIBIT - Wyoming Valley Art League - Little Gallery, 29 N.

Sausage man attacked Dinner Dance Dear Editor: By this time, the storms of rift and confusion have no doubt broken through, and many unassuming young men are sitting at their favorite cafeteria table pondering, "why on earth would those lovable creatures, the hierarchy of the freshman and sophomore classes, want to soak me $7.50 for a lousy dinner dance. I mean , let's face it, man, that 's highway robbery ." Highway robbery? The very idea! My dear unassuming young fellow, let me momentarily put my foot in my mouth while I expound on this seemingly crucial matter. $7.50 is a bargain, a real honest-to-goodness John's Bargain Store bargain. If the freshman and sophomore classes were really rat fink money mongers, they would be charging you fifteen, yes fifteen dollars a ticket. (Now that is highway robbery.) Instead we , as I too am part of this scheming hierarchy, were going to set the price at $10 or so. Robbery again you say? Not in the least. As a matter of fact, the actual cost of the affair is approximately $10, but out df the goodness of their pumping hearts, the classes lowered the price to an eye-popping $7.50. No, you still get something to eat. Yes, there will be chairs to sit on. The reason for the reduction in price is this: for each ticket bought, the class treasuries will subsidize $1.25 per person. This means that for every couple, the classes will contribute $2.50 toward the cost of their ticket. Thus, the price is only $7.50. Now that's a bargain in any man 's land! Oh yes, what does the $7.50 pay for? Well, someone has to pay for the entertainment, And the favors. And the cost of the tickets. And the invitations, And the decorations. And the special guests. And you don ' t eat for free, you know . The freshman and sophomore classes are not out to make a fast buck. Far from it. They are merely trying to provide for the classes a refreshing and memorable evening at the lowest possible cost. If anything. the classes will lose on the affair rather than swell their banks with profits. If there are still any doubts in your mind that the cost is just a little too high, think it over; consult one of your class representatives and ask him to show you exactly what part of your money goes for what; talk to Dr. Farley; write to your congressman; appeal to the Supreme Court; defect to Russia ; do what you may, the price remains the same. But in the meantime. be a good guy and buy a ticke t. Carol Womelsdorf Brodbeck nomed Myrna Lou Brodbeck, a junior English major from Hughestown, was elected to the executive position of Regional Director of the Northeast Region of the Inter-collegiate Conference on Government at the annual convention in Kutztown last Sunday. She will assume her executive duties at the last Regional Executive meeting in the I.C.G. State Convention at Harrisburg in April. The term of office will last one year, the duties of which will be the conducting of three regional executive meetings along with the regional convention. Wilkes I.C.G. is also offering a six week course in parliamentary procedure which will be attended by campus leaders and high school students from the area. Other officers elected at the convention were: John Moses, King's, nominee for State Speaker; Sue Levine, East Stroudsburg, nominee for State Clerk; Assistant Regional Director, Kutztown ; Publicity Director, Lycoming; Parliamentarian, King 's; Secretary, East Stroudsburg; Treasurer, University of Scranton ; and Historian , Mansfield. Neo-Bentham Dear Editor: Concerning the highly intellectual article last week anathematizing Wilkes Wilkes as a high school and other similar condemnations - all equally nebulous - it seems to me that we have a budding Jeremy Bentham or better yet, perhaps a Nietzsche on our campus. Thanks to the Beacon, one can voice opinions, but if one does so, it should be necessary to have valid arguments to verify ridiculous statements. The entire realm of attack voiced by the "sausage man" is supported by hasty generalizations especially s in c e ( being a freshman) he has no means of comparison to any similar institu- tion. Since nobody (including our flaccid staff) on this campus knows or cares about the real purpose of learning, I am glad that Wilkes has finally fostered a messiah. All I have to say is that until one gains enough intelligence to wield a decent argument, and enough maturity to give the institution time to prove itself, I would suggest that one should keep his idealistic cacophony to him self. If the writer actually had conviction in his opinions of Wilkes, then why didn ' t he have enough courage to append his name to them? If "everything at Wilkes means nothing" then P. R. is a prime example. Dennis A. Jones Query Thanks Dear Editor: I would like to thank each of the judges for making me their choice in this year's Best Dressed Coed Contest. It is a great honor. I would also like to thank all th e people who have been so wonderful to me before, during and after the contest, especially the girls of A WS. Sincerely, Leslie Calamari Keep the Faith, Baby Dear P. R. Man: Wilkes is an anathema , but so is Yale, T emple and Kunkle Tech. The concept of forced or semi-forced education is the real heretic. An Education, if that is what you seek, waits D ea r Editor: We received unsigned propaganda concerning the recent honor code question. Do you know who sent it and who paid for it? L, Pecora J. Kucirka Editor's Reply Dear Sirs: No. within the "greyroom" of your body . Feel fortunate that you realized this paradox so soon. It took me three colleges. And bes ides , sausage is a cheap and necessary item. Empathizingly, G. R. Shadie SG REPORTS Did you dance at the fight last night? That's always a good conversation opener on Monday morning in both the old and new cafs. It is a sad state of affairs when a student runs the risk of getting his face punched in at a college dance. It has happened too many times in the past when our ··virile heroes" arrive in a " pack" at the dance and proceed to barge their way through the door. (It is hard to scrape up 75 cents for a dance when it could go for beer.) Insulted Dates It is not just the " lushes" from Wilkes that make the scene at the dances, but sometimes the Kingsmen come down and bless us with their presence, the local "tuff guys" from local teeny-bopper high schools manage to worm their way in, and occasionally a visiting servic eman makes his "breath" known . These guys ( usually relatively sane during the week) turn into mental morons as soon as they have a couple of NOTICE beers and purposely begin to cause trouble. Have you had your date insulted lately? It is the SG representatives' job to see that the rules are maintained at the dances. This would entail seeing that coats and ties are worn, watching the doors, making sure that a club has provided a coat check to prevent stealing, etc. In other words, the SG representatives act as student "cops" enforcing these sophisticated rules for mature college students. It has been an honor and a pleasure for many of the student leaders on campus to try to reason with groups of trouble-making, slobbering baboons. Ask Mr. Roberts how many times he had to intervene as the adult chaperone in preventing disagreements. Well , why not a real policeman? It has been generally felt in the past that " the College can handle its own affairs without any outside help .. ." A wise sage once said "a good defense is the best offense. " Maybe it even could work at Wilkes! The policeman doesn't have to get involved in college affairs , but just act as a psychological deterrent against trouble.

Approximately 400 wrestlers from 90 colleges will participate in the two-day event. The first four finishers in each division will then be eligible to participate in the NCAA University Division Tourney on March 23-25, at Kent State, Ohio. As mentioned before, the Colonels are one of the favored squads and boast five returning place winners. They are Joe Kiefer, second at 137; Joe Wiendl, fourth at 152; Dick Cook, sixth at 167; Barry Gold, sixth at 191; and Fran Olexy , sixth at 177, who will not participate due to an injury sustained i~ the MAC Tourney.

The schedule for today and tomorrow is: trophy last year in one of his few appearances of the season, and perhaps he can do it again this year. The dark horse of the tournament is likely to be freshman Andy Matviak. He has seen limited action this season at 123, but this weekend he is going at 115 pounds. In the Wilkes Open he took third place at I I 5 in his first college appearance and is looked on to be one of the Colonels' top prospects.

Wilkes has two champs ii -' ·~- The Colonel grapplers once again emerged as the MAC college and university division wrestling champs by protecting an eleven-point team advantage and toppling heavily favored Temple University, 73-62. In the early going, the Colonels took the lead after the quarter-final round in the tournament held at Moravian College last Friday and Saturday. Wilkes had 20 points and placed six wrestlers in the semi-final round while West Chester was in second position with 16 points and three semi-finalists. Threatening both was Temple with 14 points and six wrestlers qualifying for the semi-final round. A total of 150 wrestlers from 23 colleges were entered. Finalists are eligible to enter the NCAA Championships held later this month at Kent State University, Ohio. Surviving for Wilkes were: Dick Cook, defending champion at 167; John Marfia, 123; Jim McCormick, 130; Joe Wiendl, 160; Barry Gold, 177; and Fran Olexy , heavyweight. Galen Cruse of Wilkes was decisioned in the quarter-final rounds by Mike Dowhower, 145, of West Chester, another defending champion. The finals of the twenty-ninth MAC mat classic were held before a packed crowd of slightly more than 4,000 fans at Archbald Hall on the Moravian College campus. As predicted in last week's Beacon, the Colonels took their crown with back-to-back victories by Joe Wiendl in the 160-polnd class and Dick Cook in the 167 -pound class. The victory for the Colonels was the seventh in the eleven years since the MAC Championships combined both the college and university divisions. Five Wilkes wrestlers went into the finals of the MAC Championships. Jim McCormick, at 130 pounds, was the first Colonel performer on the mats in the finals. He took on Temple's Don Milone, a defending champion (or the last two years. Last year Milone and the Colonels' John Carr shared honors as the MAC Tournament's Most Valuable Wrestlers. Late Joe Wiendl, a sophomore, is shown in the semi-final bouts. Joe captured the 160pound crown vacated by John Carr. On his way to the MAC championship, Wiendl had little trouble in any match winning via pins or lopsided decision wins. in the contest Jim McCormick was down by one point, 11-10, and he decided to risk everything by going for a take-down. However, he made two costly mistakes and dropped the decision to this year's most valuable wrestler, Don Milone. At the end of the match, McCormick and Milone were given a standing ovation for staging the most spirited bout of the night. Wilkes took its first individual championship when Joe Wiendl, in the 160-pound division , had little trouble in piling up a 14-1 decision over John Ericson of Albright. The Colonels came right back with their second individual title when Dick Cook successfully defended his I 67pound crown with a 13-3 victory over Roy Resavage of Temple. The Colonels' Fran Olexy had qualified for the finals with a victory in the afternoon, but had to forfeit his match due to a shoulder separation suffered in the afternoon's bout.

Honest! THE.BEACON VOL. XXVI, No. 18 NCAA Wrestling, p.4 March 17, 1967 SG debates Junius-lRC $300 budget request by Klaus Loquasto A meeting of Student Government was held on March 13. The new business was introduced after much discussion on the financial requests made by one club in particular. Pictured are Alan Pelikian, Mary Ann Polochko, Chuck Lengle, Pat DeMeo, Bill Downey, Carol Womelsdorf, and Mike Clark. Marco Polo Boom selling for dance Floral decorations will depict a Spring theme ra t the annual FreshmanSophomore Dinner-Dance to be held at the Marco Polo Room on Saturday, March 18. A buffet dinner will be served beginning at 6:30 p.m., followed by dancing until 12:30 p.m . Mus'ic will be provided by Bobby Baird. Tickets are $6.50 per couple and are available in the cafeteria •a nd at the Book Store. Co-chairmen of the affair are Mike Clark, sophomore class president, and Chuck Lengle, freshman class president. Odher members of the committee are Alan Pelikian and E'llen LU'ft, publicity; Carol Womelsdorf, tickets; Pat DeMeo and Debibie Bronstein, decorations; and Zig Pines, invitations. Fellowships, grants offered for study Opportunities are great th'is year for students to receive financial aid for their present studies and also for graduate school. There are many chances for seniors 'to dbtain graduate study fellowship grants, and for juniors to receive scholarships for their senior years. It was recently anounced by the U.S. Office of Education that more than 800 fellowships for graduate train- Future Frosh feted at tea Zig A. Pines The traditional Freshman Tea , sponsored by TDR , was held yesterday at McClintock Ha11 from 2 p.m . to 4 p.m. Approximately 50 girls from area high schools on the east side of the Susquehanna who have received their acceptance from Wilkes College toured the campus. The pui,pose of the tea was to introduce the girls to campus life and to discuss with the upperclassmen any questions or problems ·concerning the academic and social life at the college. Dean Ahlborn welcomed the visiting girls on behalf of the administration. The Brandywine Trio supplied the entertainment for the tea. The March 16 tea is only the first part of TDR 's program to introduce girls to college life. A similar second tea will be sponsored on March 30 for high school girls on the west side of the Susquehanna River. Since the response to the tea was great, TDR found it necessary to hold two separate teas in order to insure informality through a relatively small group of fifty girls. The committee chairmen for the tea were Pat Beshasa, Maureen Flanley. Julie Kapral. and Dot Delong. Dance W.A.A. will sponsor a Saint Patrick's Day Dance tonight in the gym. Music will be provided by "Eddy Day and the Night-Timers" from 9 to 12 p.m. Tickets are 75 cents per person and will be sold · at the door. All are invited to attend. ing of prospective elementary and secondary school teachers have been allocated for the 1967-68 academic year. T'he purpose of the fellowships, granted under Le·t'ter V-C of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is to strengthen and improve elementary and secondary education through graduate training. 'Iihe program provides for up to two years of graduate study on a full-time basis leading to an advanced degree other than t<he doctorate. Fellows receive stipends of $2,000 for the first academic year and $2,200 for the second year, plus allowances of $400 for each eligible dependent. An additional sti~nd of $400, plus $100 for each dependent, is available for summer study. Fellowships are awarded to students selected by the institutions providing the training programs. For each of the fellows the institutions receive supporting funds of $2.500 per year. It was anounced earlier by the Office of Education that approximately 1,500 ex·p¢rienced teachers will take graduate 'work under 70 fellowship programs conducted by 57 colleges and universities during the 1967-68 academic year. These programs will be conducted in 31 states at a cost of about $11.5 million. Applications are now available for the eighth annual Florence Domblaser Memorial Scholarships. A wards of $250, $150, and $100 will be given to three deserving women students in their junior year for use in their senior year. Established to honor the founder of this 'fund, t'he late Florence Dornblaser, first 't reasurer df "the Pennsylvania Federation of Democratic Women, Inc., and to encourage young women to pursue and develop interests in politics and government, the awards are available to young women majoring or planning to teach in the fields of government, political science , economics, and history. A Pennsylvania resident, she must have a good scholastic average , have a definite financial need, and be active in student affairs. In addition, she must possess a Democratic family background or be an active participant in the Democratic Party. Application forms, available at the Beacon office, must be postmarked on or before April 23. John T. Engle, president of the newly-formed Junius - International Relations Club, presented SG with a longrange financial statement for the organiza'tion. The new club's request for this year was $300; but since the club is reportedly not yet legal, <the question was raised whether such a grant would not set a dangerous precedent. Although most members of SG believed that it would, Presiden't Matt Fl'iss was in favor of making the subsidy in order to help the new club prove itself. One of the purposes of the club, according to Fliss, is to provide a practical outlet for the otherwise passive activities of college education. However, a decision could not easily be reached; and the discussion was fin•a lly tabled for review at a later meeting. Acted upon next were suggestions, postponements and cancellations. A motion was passed to investigate the price of an ultra-violet ray lamp and the related hand-stamping apparatus, both of which could be used at club dances in the place of tickets. It was announced that the Junior-Senior dinner-dance is postponed until April 7, and that the Heart Fund Dance, because of an unforeseeable conftict, is cancelled for this year only. Possible dates for the Spring Concert were given as April 15 and 29, and May 6, 13 and 15. Being considered is the offer of a New York company to take full financial responsibility for the performance in return for 90 per cent of ~he profit. Next, a committee of student and faculty members for the partial management of college affairs was proposed to Dr. Farley. He allegedly stated that this would be a fine idea, were it not for the negative vote at the recent student referendum. Finally, it was announced that the date for class elections would be set before April 15. In conjunction with these elections, an informal SG internship program was initiated at the meeting. The purpose of this program is to acquaint presidential nominees with the actual duties of the president before running for office . Of those nominated. all but Joseph Gatto declined . Allan Sa•idman wished to announce that the opinions e~pressed in last week's SG column were his. As a Profs stage sholV al sporting event by Zig A. Pines On March 30 at 7 p.m., Wilkes College will be in store for a basketball extravaganza or fiasco, planned by the freshman class. As a means for supplementing its new treasury, the freshman class will sponsor two basketball games in the gym, open to the College students for a nominal fee of 35 cents. The preliminary game will involve a battle of brawn and ability between the girls' varsity basketball team and the men·s varsity basketball team. The men·s team·s (6-15) and the women's team's (5-3) records will be at stake as both teams will try to display their superiority. The game, in which girls ' rules will prevail, will be refereed by two women. A reliable source has mentioned the possibility of a "determining factor" that should prove advantageous to one of the con- testing teams, most probably the women. The highlight of the evening, however, will be a similar contest of brawn and ability between the faculty and the Lettermen's Club. In this case, members of the faculty will display their athletic prowess and will employ their academic talents in form ulating a winning strategy against the Lettermen's Club. (The faculty, however, does not plan to have a practice session.) The faculty members chosen thus far are Mr. Rainey, Mr. Reese, Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Ralston, Mr. Capin, Mr. Evangelista, Mr. Goldenberg, Mr. Valero, Dr. Tappa, Dr. Cox , Mr. Show, and Mr. Sweeney. On hand to referee the game will be Mr. Hoover and Carlyle Robinson . The game was planned by a committee headed by Katie Eastman, Joe Kolsby, and Paula Gilbert. Schedule set for students Activities center planned in dorm Pre-registration for fall and summer college will take place as follows: Juniors and engineering students Monday , March 27, to Friday, March 31. Sophomores - Monday, April 3, to Friday, April 7. Freshmen - Monday , April 10, to Friday. April 14. Because of the problems and the confus ion created by the 300 students who registered early for the spring semester, there will be no early registration for the fall semester. Therefore, students are asked to exercise care and judgment in completing the preregistration forms . Also, schedule changes at the final registration will be made only after the student receives the approval of his advisor and ' department chairman. After many delays, plans for the new student union, to be located in the basement of the new men's dorm, are now being completed; and the project, according to Dean Ralston, will be open to the students by the fall semester 1967. The area will include a lounge , vending room, and a game room and will be available to all students, both commuters and dorm. The purpose of the project, other than creating a rec reational area, is an attempt to bridge the gap 'between the day and dorm students. Presently, the second floor of the Commons is serving as a substitute. Here, the snack bar and recreational area are now available to students, Sunday through Friday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. follow-up, he moved that protection be a requirement of all College dances. Appended to the motion was this: a vioJ.a•tion of the rule would result in the loss of a club 's calendar date for the following year. Without debate, this mdtion was passed, but 'by a vo 1e of e'igh't to six , with t'hree abstaining . And, in passing, it was mentioned that pU!blicity posters for the Junius Society's recent lecture have been removed from various bulletin boards, resulting in 'a loss of $30 to the club. Chwalek releases math intern news by Carol Okrasinski John Chwalek, p-lacement director, has announced that teaching positions are available through the Junior High School Mathematics Internship Project of I 967. The College of Education of Temple University in cooperation with Philadelphia public schools is conducting the teacher preparation program for college graduates to provide them with teaching posi'tions and to prepare them to teach contemporary mathematics to disadvantaged youth. The intern receives certification to teach mathematics, a master's degree , up to $650 toward tuition costs, and a starting salary of $6,100 with yearly increments. The applicant need not have a degree in mathematics, for only six semester hours in mathematics are required. The pr<mram includes eleven weeks of summer work to prepare for teaching in September and 't hree years in teaching contemporary mathematics. The intern takes five credits in adolescent growth and development. six credits in mathematics, and three in the teac'hing of mathematics. Ac·tual teaching begins in September when the intern is placed in a Philadelphia junior hig:h school with the status and salary the same as other teachers who possess similar preparation. During the first year, the intern rece•ives supervisory help from the university and from his school. Through a weekly seminar, he studies educational sociology, teaching disadvantaged students, and the teaching of mathematics. In the second semester a reading course is added to the program. In ·the second ~ummer, the intern pursues graduate courses in mathematics or education with full cerUfica1tion as a goal. During the second and third years of teaching, courses are pursued to complete requirements for the master's degree in education.

Whereas oher generations had opportunities to fight what they believed were legitimate Anti-Christs, ours is faced with a war which is very difficult to reduce to emotional reasons. We had wars to rid the world of heretics; we had wars to end wars; we had a war to destroy fascism. We might say that we now have a war to destroy rice paddies, mutilate children. and increase prostitution. We might also say that we are fighting to save democracy in South Viet Nam. But what democracy? Diem was a dictator; he would not allow really free elections: And Ky is much in the same mold. While South Viet Nam is making a real attempt to bring about democracy, it is clear that the country is racing against time. If we pull out, more than likely the country would soon align itself with Ho Chi Minh's regime. Consequently, our presence has to be one of long duration - long enough to allow the country to grow to democratic maturity. And how long will that take? Is such a duration worth it? Is our system applicable in other countries with different cultural heritages? , Is an upheaval resulting in democracy the right end for a country such as South Viet Nam? The same can be said for Ho's insistence that the country become Communist. Is it then reasonable that two systems so different should lock horns over which will prevail in South Viet Nam? And does it really matter which system wins? Should South Viet Nam become part of a Communist Viet Nam; does this mean that Thailand would follow suit? The Thais do have their problems. That country's trouble with its alien tribesmen is certainly potential tinder for a Communist explosion. (Communist infiltration has certainly taken place by now.) But if handled adequately and quickly, the difficulties with these tribesmen could not become the Communist monsoon which would sweep Thailand under. If we were to describe in what terms this war is being fought, we would have to say it is being waged in terms of the past and in terms of a correct or incorrect prognosis of the future. This country is haunted by the specter of Munich - compromise failed there and you know what happened afterward. This country is also being plagued with the fear that all of Southeast Asia will become Communist, and then the rest of the world rather quickly. Is this a reasonable assessment of the problem at hand? When this war is over, we might be able to understand why there is a war in Viet Nam. And if it is really over, we will never know since one future prognosis predicts nuclear holocaust as a direct result of the struggle in Viet Nam. Variations on Adam Clayton Powell; or, The Beatles Reconsidered "Nothing is real; nothing to get hung about," or so go the lyrics of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever." If such is true, then reality is rather hard to face. If such is true. neutrality, embalming fluid in the veins, is the only answer. And that is not a very brave new world. Consequently, to live means involvement, means a desperate belief in ideas which very probably are meaningless. But a stoic faith, well kept, well nurtured, baby, is probably the only answer to living. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN DANCE-Women's Athletic Association-Gym- Tonight, 9-12 p.m. "ROSEMARIE" -Manuscript- CPA- Tonight, 7 and 9 p.m. CONCERT - Betty Allen, soloist - Industrial Management Club of Wyoming Valley - lrem Temple- Tonight, 8 p.m. DINNER-DANCE - Freshman and Sophomore Classes - Marco Polo Room - Tomorrow, 6:30-12:30 p.m. CONCERT - Philharmonic Hungrica Symphony - Ludwig Hoffman, piano soloist Community Concert Association - lrem Temple, March 21, 8:30 p.m. REG :STRATION for Juniors and Engineering Students- March 20-31.

March 17, 1967 J,tt,,., t, ,,it,,. SG club doles attacked Where's the money going? Dear Editor: Student Government member Brillinger, in his March 3 column, stated that SG has the responsibility of allocat1ng monies to intercollegiate organizations or delegations. The qu es tion in point arose during a requ es t from the Collegiate Conference on the United Na tions (CCUN) for additional convention funds, and the problem was settl ed after SG had cons'i dered the constitutionality of allotting more than the maximum amount. Evidently, no discussion arose as to how that chili represents Wilkes or has represented Wilkes. Seemingly, to be intercollegiate is criterion enough! I won 't harp on the fact that CCUN was allotted $70 but did not attend their convention. That problem must be settled between the ill-fated orgyites and the Administra-tion. That thi s situation arose, howeve r, is enough to highlight the lack of SG policy in the area of intercollegiate conference funding, The only set policy now, as Mr, Brillinger stated. is $10 per delegate or $125, whichever is less. On the other hand, Mr, Zebrowski 's point was well taken that conven'tion fees are rising - along with hotel accommodations and the cos t of living in general. Reform to realistic levels is needed! More important, however, is SG's lack of concern as to the purpose of any organization. Last semester, SG was more interested in the '" community oriented " project to enhance the awareness and prestige of Wilkes in th e greater community. Presumably, this applied also to those clubs which were basically intercollegiate, and w'ho would then seek to build the prestige of Wilkes among our sister colleges. It would seem, also, that SG would o.msider each club's program before granting funds. Nevertheless, this was not the case: representation· of Wilkes on a local level was not equated with representation of Wilkes on an intercollegiate level, nor was any interest shown to club programs in either sphere. Thus, the black-eye given Wilkes last weekend in New York City. As a member o,f an intercollegiate organization I can fee l sym pathy for Neither Here Nor lhere Guess what Neither Here Nor There gets this week: Squeak Up . . .

So long." ·· · Male voice: "I like those guys with (Centinued on page 3) the CCUN delegates. The fault doesn't wholly lie with them! "Even SG can be wrong, " to conclude in agreement with Mr. Brillinger. Please Withhold Name Assemblies hit Dear Editor: Today the s tudents of Wilkes College have been subjected to another speaker with considerably doubtful attributes, In spite of his incessant s tuttering and wild trips on tangents irrelevan't to his topic , I managed to discover that he was speaking on Viet Nam. This could have been very interes ting had I not read the same thing he was unsuccessfully trying to di scuss several times in several different newspapers and magazines, The avid interest in his speech on the part of the rest of the student body was clearly demonstrated by the lack of their presence, bowed , sleeping heads , open text books, and serious and humorous conversation going on through out the gym . This interes t is not unique of this particularly boring assembly. Through my forced attendance, I have seen it in practically every assembly program. I, along witih a ·g oodly percentage df the student body , think that mandatory assembly attendance is not a good practice. Jamming thirty assemblies into a school year forces the assembly planners to settle for less than mediocre speakers and gives a bad name to a good idea. Surely one assembly a month, an interesting assembly, is better than four poor ones. I believe that following this method would be far more educational and enjoyabl e than the present one. Our assembly program is lacking in eve~y thil}g but n\1111per . Isn 't it time that something be done about it? Matthew B. Buglehall More Letters (page 3) announcer Announcer: "Yes.

Pat IRA threatens thespians by Helen Dugan A s eve ryone anticipates the opening night of Othello, th ey should be consc ious of the try ing catastrophes that led up to its presen tation. Firs t, Cue ·n Cu rtain was faced wit'h -the problem of selecting a play. The possibilities were considered until only two remained : Othello, which was a sure bet for success and the unanimous choice o f ithe students, and the Confess~on, wh'ich was introduced to Cue ·n Curtain by a write-in vote from the I.R.A . Since St. Patrick's day was so close to the tentativ e performance date and the Confession was th e memoirs of an Irish pa'tron saint of shamrocks ( yes, St. Patrick) , the choice of plays was in favor of the Confession. It is possibl e thoug'h, that a threat to have th e 540,000 members of the LR .A . march in mass on the Fine Arts C enter and paint it green while burning Admiral N elson and Othello in effigy in the lobby could ha ve ha d something to do with their de'Cision. At th'is point Cue ·n Curtain was only ever the first hurdl e of th e long road to opening night. Lette rs from the N ew Admiral N elson Statue Comm it- tee s tarted to pour in. The first letters took the form of pleas to Cue 'n Curtain to regain its sanity and return to Othello. Later, letters took t'he form of threats of a savage at-tack of whiteha'ired ladi es marc'hing on the opening night performance all wearing Carrie Nation buttons and carrying hatchets wi't'h th e fla g of England monogramed on their notched-out handies. A quick scanning of the play revealed that not only was it written in Latin but it wasn 't even a play. Since not too many Cue 'n Curtain members were very ·proficient in Latin, th e classic's first translaNon came out sounding like the Iliad as written by Edward A!llbee. But the Cue 'n Curtain fea rlessly proceeded onward with the Confession. Parts were distributed to an equal number of Mac Faddens a nd W ests and rehea rsa ls got underway . Thin gs went rather smoothly until they came to the event o f St. Pa·trick being kidnapped by a band of marauders when he was sixteen. The exuberant band quickly swept down on th e s tag e, surprising t:he humble conquerer-of-souls as he went a'bout hi s daily chores. T'hat was rhe last time the star was Page 3 BEACON eve r seen. A s the story goes in real life, St. Patrick was held in captivity for six years. Now , we're not saying this is w hat is happeni ng , but . .. well, it is a possi'bi l'i ty. With th e loss o f the leading man and the growing impatience of both th e LR .A. and th e Ca rrie N ation associa tes, Cue 'n Curtain decides to try for a long shot. They sent word to both faction s that King 's was undecided as to whether th ey would dedica te their new lib rary to Admiral N elson or to the many Irish imm igrants wiho helped to build up the area to w hat it is today . An immediate reaction took place on both sides.

Ill OPIUM LAND E ditor"s note : This review by Joseph A . Kanon, a Ha rvard student from Nanti'coke, appeared in the Harvard Crimson and is being reprinted from th e Collegiate Compendium, Hollywood has long been skillful in turning good books into bad movies, but Is Paris Burning is a n unfortunate perversion of that well-worn theme it takes a pretentious chunk of bad journalism and turns it into an even worse film . One is nearl y awestruck at the achievement, whic h is perfectl y flne since the only other reac tions the fllm could possibly produce are boredom and fury a t havin g paid the w hopping three-dollar admiss ion . Paris is so interminably long, so badly acted , so deliciously incoherent that it cou ld very well be the fl op of the year, nay, the decade. All o f w hich is rather sad, es pecially whe n you ·consider t'he ma terial inheren t in 'the story : World War II, Paris, a good guy N az,i (and quite a few bad guy Na zis), underground intrigu es, a nd a triumphant deliverance. Hitler has ordered Paris destroyed if it cannot be held - the Eiffe l T ower, the Lou vre, all of it.

Instead he has a ttemp ted to p lace every page O'f the book in Gallic animation - a feat awesome in itself since every pag e is as bodng as the next. But he has indeed been faithful to it.

Final Colonel slalislics point up line ollense In his second year as coach, Ron Rainey has brought the basketball team to a 5-15 recoi,d which, although not outstanding, is ~he best in recent years. Moreover, none df the 15 losses were lopsided margins and in fact, most were lost by only a ,fe w points. At least 8 games were lost at the foul line, many mistakes leading to fouls. 11he mistakes in turn were due .to inexperience. But by the end of the season, the 1967 edition of the Co'lonels looked like a top-notch team. Tihe fact that there are only two seniors on the team leaves prospects for next year rosy.

Fres,hman BCYb Ockenfuss started for less t,han half the season but still managed to lead in rebounds w iit'h 156. He also had the best foul s hooting average at .852. A big factor in the season record is ~he fact that they gral:Jbed only an average of 36.2 rebounds per game. To put together a winning season next year they will need more rebounds than that . The scoring in general was bala nced wit'h three starters averaging almost ten points while two comb'ined for 12. Reuben Daniels averaged 19 points per game to lead the team but is capable of scoring much more. To lead a winning team next year he must average at least 25 points. Pm,tland State displaced last year 's champs, California Poly , by racking up a total o f 84 points. Mankato State of Minnesota was second with 54.

A total of 70 colleges had 246 grapplers taking part in t'he championships. This was the first time the NCAA meet had been held east of the Mississippi R,iver. At t'he end of the quarter-finals, Wilkes was in a five-way tie for fourth place w ith 12 points, 14 behind leading and eventual w inner Portland. In the '66 championships Wilkes was second with 51 and Portland State third wi th 48. Wiendl. who was fourth last yea r, had registered a pin and a decision in Friday's preliminaries a nd quarterfinals. Cook, who was six th in the tourney at Mankato, registered two pins and a decision in his three bouts. Wiendl and Cook were the only ones to survive th e quarter~fina'ls . Marfia, 123, lost a 10-1 decision and Kiefer, 137, was stopped, 9-0. Five defending champions put their titles on the lin e w ilth three of them repeating.

Johnson was decisioned, 5-4 , by Mike McKee! o f Portland State. Beeson was disqualified after delivering an illegal slam against his opponen't which preven ted him from continuing the bout. In th e bout for which everyone was wai;ting, Joe Wiendl of Wilkes finished second at 160 to Don Morrison of C olorado School of Mines. W 'iendl was leading , 5-2, when Morrison fashioned a p'in in 4:08. Wiendl ·had scored on a reversal, a predi'cament, and a ·pin, whi le Morrison had scored only a reversal. With Morrison in command, Wiendl attempted a sit-out, which Morrison turned to his advantage in putting W ·iendl on his back. It was the only mistake Wiendl made during the championships, bu't it turned out to be one too many. It marked the Joe Wiendl is shown struggling to take down Don Morrison of Colorado School of Mines in the 160-pound division championship.

Valley in danger ol invasion by interplanetary hoagie anan It has been discovered that the leader of th e notoriou s Invaders from the 5th dimensional planet Bladzuk ·has set up residence in Wilkes-Barre and is living und er the alias of the timid Hoagie Man . He was discovered one day while leaving his Hoagie Cave, which is located in the rea r of a strip mine that he bought at a discount because the realtors thought he was Irish and hold him it was the Brooklyn Bridge, in his Hoagie Mobile shaped like an Italian roll. His space ship, which doubl es as a head of lettuce when not in use , is kept concealed at th e Forty-Fort Airport. Above pictured is the Hoagie Man, invader from the planet Bladzuk, attired in one of his many clever disguises. to th e tun e of the Stegmaier Ba nd playing "'Onward Christian Soldiers,.. he feel s it will be less conspicuous if his s taff o f In vaders disguise t hemselves as the Ukranian National Soccer T eam out for a spring practice and boot th e dormi es along th e dike to the Courthouse where th e space ship, di sguised as the dome, will be waiting to whisk th em off to the planet. When asked why he chose dorm students the Hoagie Man replied that they seemed to be the stupidest single group he ha s seen and therefore easily trained . He feels than anyone who would voluntarily come from another city to spend nine months of a year in the Valley has to be dumb . In a spec ial intervi ew, the Hoagie Man, whose real name is Hoagilus Manus, sa id the hardes t custom he had to adapt to was ringing th e doorbells o f the women 's dorms - thi s was espec ially difficult because Bladzukians have no fing ers and it was hard to grow them for this earth venture. But with the great knowl edg~ the sc ientis ts of Bladzuk possess, they were able to duplicate th e human anatomy. Of course there was a customs barrier to overcome, but th ere is a spec ial training school se t up in West Pittston with ex tensions in Moosic, W est Nanticoke, Dunmore, A shley, and Percy Brown 's Cafeteria . At this school, set up for th e tr,a ining of new arrivals from space, courses are given in Upper Valley English, G etting Along with Your Local Government, How to Fake Miner's As thma and Beat the Draft, Saying th e Rosa ry in Polish, How to Mr. Rifle. one of his professors, says that he"ll "'miss " Johnson , that he was a good s:u dent ··. . . exce pt for his annoy ing habit o f grinding out butts on th e tile floors ... Dance the Polka while Drinking Stegmaier Bee r, Forty-Four ways to Avoid Work and Collect Benefits, and Cooking with Garlic or How to ea t Keilbassi with a Smile o n Your F ace. Those who pass th e courses successively graduate with a M .V . deg ree -Master oJ Valley isms. They are then given a min er's cap, wad of toba cco and set of dirty clothes and sent to Public Square to mix with th e city "s elite. This massive tra ining program , which takes about 36 hours to mas ter, has proven almost completely successful. Th e only defect in the training is a slight accent which the trainees find hard to lose. It is sa id to sound somewhat lik e a cross between Southern Lithuania and Upper Nanticoke and therefore hardly noticeable. When asked why they chose the Valley as their place of infiltration , th e Hoagie Man said it was due to th e fertil e minds of the inhabitants and th e conditions conducive to learni ng in the Valley. Wh en asked to ex plain what he meant by "'conditio ns conducive to lea rning, " the Hoagie Man replied that on th ei r planet studies have shown that people learn best in a cold , dark , damp atmosphere, espec ially wi th snow or ra in on the ground. Th e local police have been notified about th e danger of th e Invaders but are too busy trying to hold back the waters of the ris ing Susquehanna to help .

Farley, president of the College, for his unending aid in our intellectual development. Johnson N . Johnson, presi dent of th e U .F .O . Club, announced today that he w ill resign his post as president of the Wilkes College chapter in favor of a pos t as science editor of the WilkesBarre Evening Record. He is replacing Jules Icebergma n who ha s gone to Washington to meet hi s ma ker. One reason for Jo hn son 's leavi ng was hi s report s tating that he was being followed by s trange lights on Campus. Asked if he ha s see n an eye. doctor , he replied, "No , just stra ng e lights." H e also reported hearing these lights saying something about "an eyeb all to eyeba ll talk." But the remainder was incoherent. In hi s new job, Mr. Johnson ma y be seen high atop the newspa per office building, searc hing for unidentifi ed flying objects, from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. dail y. Previously Mr. Johnson"s noc- This s hy , retiring man, with a H erculean physique hidden under a tattered swea ter, did not intend to don the disguise of a mere Hoagie Man, but when the Times-Leader refused to give him a jdb as a mild-mannered reporter because he wasn't Polish and re fu sed to join the U .M .W. , h e decided to reach th e people of the valley through its natural resource second in quantity only to coal - its college stud ents. Memorial services held tor dissatisfied teachers Second in command to this fearl ess Man of Salami is Mr. Softee who was se nt down some years <ago to scout fo r the In vaders. It is said that his bells have an evil effec t on the brains of the studen ts. They are sending out a coded message and supposedl y, when Mr. Softee changes his tune , all the students will revolt against th e Wilkes-Barre government and the Hoag ie Man will esta blish himself as the new city manager. Hopefully , this coup will take place before the November elec tion. Hi s council will consist of Mr. Softee. the Planter "s Pea nut man , Lawrenc e Welk, a junior on Student Government at King "s, and the Associate Editor of The Crown.

Since no buyers materialized after the for sale ad was placed in the Audohon Society's magazine, the SHRIKE feels that perhaps some students at the College might want to accept the bird free of charge. For those interested, a description of the bird's past history follows: Our shrike is a healthy, black and white omnivore, passed through several hands before it reached those of Baron Cole. Our information on Baron Cole is rather sketchy, but we do know that he was asked to he an advisor to a small socialistic group on the east border of Estonia, where a revolution to abolish oligarchic rule took place. The baron was a natural candidate ~or the position since he had, first of all, never seen the country in question and could not speak its language; and secondly, he had much experience managing the lives of people who had worked in his mines. And our shrike. since he comes from a long line of parrots, quickly learned enough East Estonian words to assist the baron in the dictating of small governmental concerns such as sanitation and health. The bird was then presented by the baron to the United States in return for economic aid. The government then bestowed it on a wealthy family in Wyoming Valley where it has, from time to time, served in an advisory capacity to various cities such as Wilkes-Barre, where it has been influential in sanitation and anti-pollution legislation. Then in 1947, the College acquired the bird by means of a last will and testament. The bird was promptly donated to the SHRIKE where it has remained until the present time. We want to point out (gesture, stupid) that the bird is wellmannered and in good condition. Unfortunately, however, the shrike cannot fly. We have found that its wings are too weak, and we believe that this is a result of their not being used during the bird's early years. (He spent them in a cage.) But when our office received the bird, we allowed it the freedom of the room. Consequently, the shrike has had an impulse to flap its wings. Because of the old bird's terrestial life, however, and because birds will be birds, our office has been quickly cluttered with fecal waste to such an extent that we have had two falling accidents within the past month. And after much deliberation, we feel that the shrike deserves a better home than we can give it. We therefore ask those wishing to have our bird to come to the office between eight and five any weekday or phone us collect. We will pay all handling and shipping fees for delivery to any port of the world. Our only desire is to give our readers the bird. WHO CARES WHAT?

Tourn ey, los t hi s first bout 8- 1 to Actors discuss Othello by Sheryl Napoleon I admire Desdamona for th e way in This spring t,he Wilkes College T 1heatre will bring a breath of that very thing to the campus in the guise of Shakespeare's Othello. Cue 'n Curtain 's last Shakespearean dffering was its 1949 repertory presentation of Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth and Twelfth Night. Al Groh, director of this season 's Othello, served as assistant director for the repertory production . In answer to the query, why OTHELLO?, Mr. Gi:oh said: '1 chose OTHELLO because it is one of the most tightly written and one of the most directly written of Shakespeare's plays. I am also fascinated by the play's action, action which depends not so much on physical movement as it does on psychological Bux." The fact thalt the play itseH is so dependent on the psy·chological state o·f t,he characters' min•ds, and the fact that a worthy performance is dependent upon the actors' ability to portray these various men·tal condit ions makes Othello a challenging play to tackle. P erhaps the most difficult scene for the players and the director is the bedroom scene in w hich Ot'hello, normally a man of integrity, intelligence and complete self-mastery, snuffs out the light of his life, D esdamona, because he believes that she has been unfaithful. Groh has s•a id that this scene is particularly difficult because " we want to make Othello plausible. We don · t want the deed to be a violent. premeditated one. " Edwin Manda, who plays this deep and prdba'ble character, finds the rol e of Othello to be his most interesting. While he is a novice to t'he Shakespearean stage, he is no newcomer to the College stage. H e lras appeared in The Death of Bessie Smith, The Mad Woman of Chaillot, and, earlier this season, in Camelot. •M anda also rates t'he death scene among the most difficuJ.t to por,tray . beth and Cordelia of King Lear. She feels that these characters are among the great because of the variety of emotions w hich Shakespeare allows them to experience. Mrs. Van Meter sees Desdamona as a woman with "intrinsic love for Othello, for she is able to submit to his will and to his every wish, and even in his mf.)St violent moments she never rebels against him." which she handles th is accusation. An accusation of this sort would cause me , as a person, to have ill feelings toward my husband. But D esdamona never waivers; she has a pure , unadu lterated love for Othello in spite of eve rything." As did Manda and Groh, Mrs. Van Meter likewise picked the dea~h scene as one of the most difficult. " Each time Othello accuses me, I want to defend myself. " D esdamona's submission and her inability to beli eve or understand the situation provide Mrs. Van Meter with excellent opportunities for s trict characte rization. She added, "As a human being , I know that I would discern what Othello means more quickly than does Desdamona . After such an accusation I would not say as D esdamona does , 'Alas, my lord, what do you mean?' I wou ld know w hat he meant." Evening performances of "Othello" will be given on April 21, 22 and 23 .at 8:30 p.m. There _will be a matinee at 2:30 p.m. on April 23. Any Wilkes student may obtain his free ticket for any of the performances by presenting his identification card at the box office of the Center for the Performing Arts, Monday through Friday from 11 a.me to 5 p.m. Mrs. Darlene Van Meter, a newcomer to both the Shakespearean and the College stages, ranks D esdamona, the Gharacter whom she portrays, w ith Shakespeare's best female creations, some of the others being Lady Mac- ·'Th e fact that I am a married woman in reality has helped me greatly in understanding Desdamon"a ," adds Mrs. Van Meter.

Entered as of now are single and group performers from the College and from Villanova, D el'a ware Valley, East Stroudsburg State College and King 's. There will be $225 in prize money. The profits from the fest ival will go to the Heart Fund. Even if you can not attend the concert, a donation to the Fund will be appreciated. Donations are $1. Tickets may be obtained from SG representatives and at the gym on Friday night. NOTICE Those students interested in signing up for an Italian IOI course are asked to submit their names to the Beacon office. The problem is now one of finding a solution to America's involvement in the war. Even lf the U . S. became in volved as the results of false premises, it is too late to chance one"s ent ire viewpoint now. There exist two possib ilities: a negotiated settlement or a successful military campaign. Therefore, the bombing of North Vietnam should be either discontinued in order to allow negotiations or be increased in intensity. T 'he present bombing policy of the U. S. is .such that negotiations are impossible and military success illusive. Why doesn"t America prosecute th e war with intense and sustained military action instead of a policy of neither victory nor settlement? How so? Dear Editor: Please exp la in the method(s) used to arrive at the following conclusions concerning the ··code." ·'As it had been predicted, a large majority of commuting students voted against the honor code, but resident students also de feated 'the proposal. The . majority in this case was smaller." Respectfully, George T . Potera, '68 Editor's reply - Since the day students voted in the snack bar a nd the Commons and since the dormitory students voted 'in the new cafeteria , it was an easy ma'tter to determine the percentages of each group which voted for or against the honor code. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN DANCE - Engineering Club - Gym - Tonight, 9 to 12 p.m. MANUSCRIPT FILM - CPA - Tonight, 7 and 9 p.m. BASEBALL - Wilkes vs. Moravian - Away- Tomorrow.

SG slates COLLEGE BEACON Dear Edi't or: Recently, the Beacon •a nnounced in big headlines that the NCAA Tourney was a success. J"m sorry to say that I can hardly agree. As a student from Wilkes I was ashamed and embarrassed ·at th e way the tournament was run. Worst of all, perhaps, was the inept way 1the scores of the matches were kept. The wrestlers got far from a fair shake from Wilkes. The Administration, or whoever was in charge of recruiting scorekeepers, could at least have en'lis ted men who show some interest in sports. This, of course, does not apply to all of the scorers - but the bad ones really stood out. For ins tance , one de-fending ·c hampion may have lost a semi-final bout because the scorekeepers were not paying attention! W ·hen the bell signalling the end of the match was rung, the scorers and the referee deliberated for about five minutes and finally decided that the bout was, in fact, not over yet; plus, th e defending ohamp probably got robbed of points for riding time. One person, by far the worst of the group. whose duty it was to flip the cards indicating t·he points eac h wrestler had obtained, was constan't ly watching th e match on the next mat and ,1.Jmost never never saw the referee's indication of points to be awarded . Someone else had to tell him to flip the cards, or the re'feree would have to stop fhe match 'to wake 'the scorer out of his daydreams , and sometimes the cards just didn \t get flipped . Couldn't the Administration have chosen teachers w'ho have at least appeared at the wrestling meets and who knew a littl e about this sport? This particular scorer couldn 't have cared what was going on. Next, I might mention th e sextet of lovelies in evening gowns in the gym. How corny! Also, I was recently informed that Wilkes graciously furnished a steak breakfast for the wrestlers at the low, low cost of $3.00! Tha't is an outr-age. Did the Administration forget that the wrestlers are only college students and t ha t many of the teams had undertaken a long, expensive trips? The unkindest cut of all was that our own wrestlers, who are so dedicated and who work so hard and who bring so much glory to Wilkes a lso had to pay the $3.00. Why does Wilkes have to do things third class? A Concerned Student Bull to deliver scientific lecture On Monday at 8 p.m. in Stark 109, Dr. Colin Bull, director of the Institute of Polar Studies at Ohio State University will deliver a public lecture entitled ""Earth Science Investigations in Antarctica in the Last D ecade." Dr. Bull"s lec ture will cover the recent geophysical and glaciological work in Antarctica and will also include some account of the biological field investigations as well. Delegation participates in convention Thirty delegates from the College 's ch'a pter of th e Intercoll egiate Conference on Government are at'tending the annual !CG state convention this weekend in Harrisburg. The purpose of this trip, according to Myrna Lou Brodbeck, chairman of !CG at the College a nd Regional Director for the Northeast Region for 1967-68, is to acqu'a int students with the function of the government and to provide them with a direct opportunity for involvement in governmental procedure. The trip itinerary will include a general assembly held at the Edu·c ational Forum on Capitol Hill. Governor Sha.fer, the mayor of Harrisburg , and Democratic and Repub'l ican sp eakers will deliver lectures to the students. Committee meetings will be held a ll day Friday . The entire delegation will divide into nine committees and attempt to pass proposals which have been formulated throughout the year at th e va riou s colleges represented. An election will a lso be held for the offices of speaker and clerk. Northeast region nominees for these offices are John Moses , King 's College, and Sue Levine, East Stroudsburg State College, respectively. On the following day at 11 a.m, in Stark 116, Dr, Bull will address the science majors with a topic entitled "Simple (but unsolved) Physics Problems in Glaciated Areas." With respect to the latter lecture, Dr. Bull has sta'ted, " In the last few years we have unearthed lots of problems that look as though they need only an und~rstanding of elementary physics. These include non-convecting, ice-covered lakes in which the temperature at bottom is 37 degrees cen ti grade, and landslides in whic h boul ders weighing hundreds of tons have travelled great distances on an air cushion , and peculiar gas-fill ed cavities under cold, nearly stagnant glaciers." Both lectures will be illustrated by 2" x 2" slides. Classes dine, dance this evening Tonight at 8 p.m. the junior and senior students will congregate at the Manfield Ballroom to ceiebrate the annual Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. The merrymakers will sat ia'te themselves with ·a smorgasbord 'featuring five (count 'em) hot foods, after which they will trip the light fantastic to the melodious sounds of Glenn Michaels (not Miller) and his seventeen piece orchestra. Tickets for the affair are $6 per dynamic duo and are available from Miss Millie at the C ollege's book emporium. H ead cheeses for the affair are Jay Ruckel and Harry S. Russin. Ticket bosses are Barry Miller, Cheryl Tarity, Basil Russin and Joe Gatto. Publicizing the bash are Cecilia Rosen , Bob Thompson , Sue Harkness and Darlene Moll.

Chris Sulat Bigh hopes D ear Editor: It has come to our attention that you have hopes of your football team playing in the 1967 "Tangerine Bowl. " ( Sorry about 1966!.) We feel that you have very littl e chance of doing this because of the weak opposition that ha s been scheduled for you in t he coming season. You must play (and beat) strong teams (not ones of high s·chool calibre) to have any ch·a nce o f being chosen . To do this, you will face much opposition from your Administration. They have refused to place East Stroudsburg State College on their 1967 schedule ( because of some horse and buggy poli•c y.) Now that we have faced each other in basketball and wrestling ( you know what happened there) we think that you should schedu le us for your football game. (Every year, not every other year.) Show that you have some voice in what your football team does, by scheduling East Stroudsburg State College for your 1967 football season. Remember, it is your college and your team. In the end, all decisions need not come from the land of Far-lee. A Group of ESSC Students BULLETIN BOARD A.IR FORCE RELEASE M/ Sgt. Robert J.

He won the contest for his daring ensemble which he has worn at all times since last semester. Svaaden·s ensemble consists of a fire engine red, close knit, sport shirt with By away collar and three yellow buttons. His pants, known as Taylormade, are by Bushell's of TaylorMoosic and can 'be described as being pre-shrunk black jeans with white stitching. He subscribes to the current rage which allows each 'hair on his legs to be seen . Filling in the six-inch gap between the 'bottom of his pants and the tops of his P.,F.C.'s (Puerto Rican Fence Climbers) are a tastefully selected pair of four-inch white work socks by John 's of Edwardsville. The theme of Svaaden's socks is echoed in his accessories which include a belt of four inch width and set off by a buckle emblazoned with the words "Tucson, Arizona, 1949." Covering Svaaden·s Brylcreemed hair is a hat of 100 per cent virgin straw ( not for long. ha! ha!)· which brandishes several tiny beer cans, dice and playing cards. Rounding out and complementing his attire is a switchblade by Harlem Accessories and a silver ring with a glaring skull and ruby eyes. For cooler weather, our double ought dons his hobnail encrusted jean jacket which proclaims his membership in that organization known as the Angels. For warmer weather, however, Svaaden chose a short, green satin jacket embroidered in the back with a large dragon and the word "Korea" (which is not a club). Our general "winner " may be seen week I y at Flanagan's Danceland U.S.A. . where he is employed parttime as chi~f bouncer. The Best-Dressed Male contest was sponsored by the Lettermen's Club and was judged by Dr. McGuillestine, representing the campus arbiters of taste. and Mr. Boobie Goldenbird, cosmopolitan assistant to the arbiters of taste. The narrator of the affair was Mr. Peter ltchie, who. during the intermission, entertained the audience with an organ solo to the accompaniment of the Broken Hearts String Quartet. In the even ing attire division, contestants were escorted by members of A.W.S. Local lalenl vie tor leafy crowns Upon learning that the film industry is about to present its annual Academy Awards. we decide·d that it is high time that a lot of local talent is recognized. which means that we have initiated our own awards program called the Beac,<>n Laurels. We wish to bestow our laurels on the brows of the deserving and hope that award to the wise is sufficient. We had no spec ial format to begin with, so we devised the following plan: the categories were made up in such a way so that the three-personed (no divinity symbol intended, please) voting panel could at least select from a number of nominees. This means that there is no award for outstanding newspaper coverage because the Beacon would win hands down ( you are to read this line as though, written after the speaker's name, were the words "spoken with all due modesty " ). We have likewise nominated in secret. And now, the Beacon Laurels-but first a word from our sponsor. This program is being brought to you through the auspices of Llewellyn & McKane . Inc. , local printers noted for their staunch support of C ollege activities ( we pay well); their personal effort in making it a point to attend those activities ( they print the tickets and rumor has it that they print their own): their unswerving attitude towards forcing the Beacon to run more six pagers (we pay better). And now - on with the show. Those nominated in the "best movie" category are mostly all popular reruns and are all "how to" films: "How to Remove the Handwriting on the Wall," directed by the workers f.>f Sordoni Construction Co. and produced by Image Builders, Inc ; "How to Tum Your Spare Time into Sleep," directed by the student help on the College maintenance crew; "How t'> Put Meaning into Your Life," directed by the College's sandbox political organization. Winne.r is "How to Remove the Handwriting on the Wall" for its true to form plot, its provincial atmosphere and its colorful language and scenery. Those nominated for "best female performance" are: That Waitress in the Commons for her role in --yours Please: .. That English Teacher for her role in .. Put Your Coats On and Get Out Of the Building Because You Are Disturbing My Class Next Door: .. That Conyngham Hall Cleaning Wo- man for her role in "Boy, They Sure Are Sloppy in Here." Winner is Conyngham Hall Cleaning Woman who continues to treat us with motherly affection and tolerance and who gallantly wanders into our pigsty every morning and finds our lost stories, clothes and wander ing mentalities. Those nominated in the "best male performance" category are: That high College Official for his performance in .. Sorry, We Don't Want Any Tangerines Today: .. 'I1hat English Professor for his tippy-top, top-notch rendering in .. Hardy; .. That SG Official for his role in .. I Talk to the Trees and The Trees Talk Back." And the winner is SG Official for his poetic language, his near-perfect portrayal of a philosopher and his projection of the community service image. And so our program closes. but not without a word of thanks to a former newspaper friend of ours who, though long since departed into the world of the living to make her mark , wi ll be glad to know that she ·is still thoug.ht of in a pinch. We realize that many categories ~·ave not been mentioned : we can only say that many categories did not offer us a choice. And we refused the echoes. {Continued from Page 2) CARNIVAL agreed not only to sponsor a concession stand but to conduct guided tours around campus and to distribute huge ballons and lollipops with the inscription ..

Only prima donnas, however, need apply. To be considered for the award, applicants must appear at the music department's ·table in the Commons where Mr. Chapstick. head of the scholarship committee, will judge from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Each applicant is required to play a solo on his favor ite instrument. strut before the judge. display their ' best pouting expression, and show their limpest wr ist. Winners will be announced at the upcoming musicians· convention to be held at gay. exciting Vispi's Bar and Lounge. The music department has also announced that it is publishing its own weekly newsletter to publicize its forthcoming concerts and senior recitals. It seems that the department, to the dismay of Mr. Ohapstick. was receiving inadequate coverage in the College's weekly rag. It is also easier. said Chapstick. to put out Byers announcing our events rather than to pick up the telephone and call our news into the Beacon. The really big news from the twin ivory towers, however, concerns the fact that the music department and the drama department. otherwise known as Cue 'n Curtain . have finally decided who owns the C enter for the Performing Arts. After months of confusion ( i.e .. bickering). the issue was finally settled at a meeting between representatives of the two groups. Dr. Samuel Rosenberg of the College's economics department served as mediator. The Music department at first proposed to buy the Center from the College and pay for it out of its yearly budget from the College. When it was estimated that under such an arrangement the debt would not be paid off until the year 4368, the plan was labeled unfeasible and dropped immediately. To insure equal usage of the building by the two groups, Chapstick then proposed, Solomon-like, that the C enter be split down the middle and a dividing wa ll be constructed with each group getting one half of the C enter for its use. Both parties at once hailed the suggestion as a s troke of genius and adopted its by acclamation. A round of congratulatory handshaking and kissing and back-patting ensued. As a final friendly gesture, the representatives decided to rename the C enter as Groh-Gassparrow Hall to memorialize the new-born kinship between the two departments. The College recently had an unexpected surprise when they learned of the drive King's is now waging to totally integrate themselves w i t h Wilkes. Father 'K ilburn ha s agreed to compensate the College for the inconve ni ence and to completely pay for the proposed overhead walkway between the two schools. The payment of this expenditure will be helped along, though, by raising the admission fee for the annual spring sacrifice to be held next week at Scanlon Field. Another proposal has been the introductory banquet held by each King's department for the correspond ing Wilkes department majors. In spite of discouragements offered , the King's Glee Club has insisted on greeting all attendees at each of the banquets and providing the gay atmosphere throughout the evening. If asked nicely they might even be pursuaded to sing for the group. In the realm of s;,orts, King's has agreed to have their basketball team serve as masseuses in the College gym and for the debate society to serve as mannequins for the football team in return for Wilkes allowing the Kingsmen to attend the much raved over weekly festivit ies - ·the Friday night dances. Because of the overflowing crowds, the Wilkes dances have heretofore been restricted area to the anxious throngs of Kingsmen who stood impatiently pushing their cold noses against the windows. This segregation has worked very well in the past . . . with only one near disaster instigated by King 's. It seems a political science class from King 's conducted an extensive deKingsiazation training at " Little Wilkes" ( which had been constructed in an abandoned mine shaft under the college) and had lost enough of the King's prototype to pass for Wilkes. The small band, after passing through the extensive integration center and being judged as: of, by, and for Wilkes, the alma mater. freshman weekend, the homecoming queen. and mom's apple pie. they were admitted. Their short stay, approximately five minutes. made headlines in every local paper and in all the hometown papers connected with Wilkes coeds. The facts are rather sparse, but it all seems to have started when the impersonators saw a gym filled with skirts, nylons, and soft sweaters. Most of the invaders revealed that their thoughts pertaining to the next five minutes were rather vague, but there was something about 785 girls all running at once for the ladies' room and some ugly stories about the ones that didn't make it. The incident still lurks in the minds of the protective Administration and espec ially . I'm sure , with Dean Ahlborn who was last seen as she started to open the door to the ladies room. Because of this action and the general decrepitness of that place on the other side of the garage, the proposed Wilkes-King's merger has had little support on the Wilkes side. At last count King 's was seen dragging a 479.000-ton cornucopia down River Street enroute to Chase Hall with a VW screaming for help from th e middle of a 5-ton pineapple. Michelini speaks lo JCC collegians Dr. Francis Michelini, dean of academic stu dies, will be among three speakers to address an institute for young people, on Sunday, April 9. at 2 p.m. at the Jewish Community C enter, 601 Jefferson Avenue , Scranton.

The identical initials, NCAA , was probab ly what caused the mixup. The Administration ren ted the gym to the assembly because they felt that they an'd the Nasa Costra have similar aims. The admission fees were di vi ded between the two organizations.

Yet. when asked if the aged drama has any re levance for today's audi ence. director Al Groh counterquestioned, "Are lust, greed, sensuality, suspicion and intrigue Elizabethan v ices only?" Part of the cast from Othello rehearses in costume and on the set specially constructed for the College's production of the play. Evidencing the timelessness of the drama is the fact that the script required few a lterations aside from the updating of certain words to clarify their meanings. One o f th e impressive changes that Groh made comes in th e opening of the play. Th e College's production wi ll open with Othello 's lines from A ct 2 and then return to Act I and proceed with th e traditional seque nce. Groh sa id . "We mad e th e scr ipt change because we wanted to es tablish Othello's identity immediately. Th ese lines from Act 2 revealed the dim ension of th e th eme and the ext remes of Othello 's nature. " Granted the literal aspects of the play will remain unchanged for the most part, the staging of the play marks a new experience for both the play and the theater. Rath er than play Othello on a traditional Shakes pea rean stage - a stage with heavy furniture, requiring se t changes which interrupt the play - the College th ea ter will prese nt it in a modern concept of a Shakespearean stage. Only basic furnishings will be used: a chair here to suggest Othello 's s tudy , a dressing table there to suggest D esdemona 's bedroom . Three large sta tionary arches will sta nd far upstage. Three larger arc hes will sta nd parallel to the proscenium until th e play 'begins, when they will be raised. A sc rim in conjunction with th e larg er arches will be used to mark act breaks rather than the conventional curtains. The play is mounted this way to de- empha size time and geographic setting . Perhaps the most exciting innovation in th e play's se tting is the use of a raked platform to per mit the scenes to move quickly and easily from one to another. Th e raked platform - octagonal in shape, 18 feet across with a rake of two feet on the upstage side to one foot on the downstage - is for a ll practical purposes a semi-permanent stage. Platform en gineers Joe Kl~ban and Karl Knoeckl ein agreed that th e pla tform was a big project, so big tha t it had to be built in sec tions so it could be moved through th e shop door. Before working on the actual platform , Kl eba n and Knoeckl ein constructed a scale model o f th e stage, platform , and arches so that each dimension and angle would be precise. The platform . the stage, and the lowe red lift give th e pla yer several levels for the action. Lighting technician Joan Tymchy shyn said, "Because of the raked stage we'll have to use more delineated lighting. W e'll have to define with lights areas usually denoted by conventional sets. It should be very interesting." ,Maybe it's not the way Shakespeare imagined his Othello - with modern stag ing , basic settings. area lighting but th e old G lobe Th eate r never had it so good. Dances, funds discussed at pres. council Fifteen clubs were re presented at a re:ent meeting of th e Council of Club Presi dents. The purpose of the Council is to unite all of the College's clubs into a s trong and mutually beneficial group. It has also been pointed out that si milar groups have been very successful on other campuses. Donna Troiano of the engi neering club brought up the recent conflict of her dub's dance with the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. Both were scheduled for th e sa me evening. It was suggested that the Council could possibly diminate similar conflicts that may arise in th e future. "Good rul es" for Friday night dances were also discussed. All clubs must hire a policeman for future dances and must have band contracts signed one week before the affai r. This inform ation must be submitted to SG on th e required activity forms. Joseph Jerrytone asked how a club, which is not on the SG allotment list, might get fund s for a worthwhile project. Judy Simonson, co-chairman of the Counci l, stated that such club should se nd a represe ntative to an SG meeti ng and req uest financial aid. Tom Engle asked about off-campus dances. Miss Simonson stressed that this is against Administrati.on policy, but that this is another area in which the Council could be influential. Engle also suggested that all clubs might unite through the Council and sponsor large concerts, dances, etc. The clubs could then split the profits evenly or proportionately according t.o the in vestment. 'Miss Simon on announced that she will propose to SG t hat the Council be " knitted" into SG. In this way it could become a stronger group a nd have a better dec iding position in deciding calendar dates. ,Jt was suggested that a special committee be set up to organize a list of futur e Council activities. One such activity might be the establishm ent of a rescue fond -to aid clu'bs having financial difficulti es. Committee members are Tom Engle, Ron Sampiero, Joe Jer rytone, Toni Supcha k, Ed Pashins ki, Linda H offman , a nd Judy Simonson. The Council will meet on Tuesday nights. 'Vhese meetings will be used to discuss club prob lems a nd to announce club events. Lette rs, announcing the next meeting, will be sent to club presidents. BEACON TBE VOL.

WE WANT BLOOD AND NINETEEN-YEAR-OLDS see editorials p. 2 �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Page 2 Let's hear it for the nineteen year olds Since the announcement of President Johnson's proposal that 19-year-olds, rather than older men in the 19-26 age bracket, be drafted into the armed services, there has been, according to news articles, quite a hue and cry raised against the plan. Most of the dissent comes, understandably, from mothers who feel that their sons of nineteen have not yet enjoyed enough of life and are, therefore, too young to risk death in the jungles of Vietnam. (There are men of that age taking that chance right now, but better it should be them than my little Iggy.) The latter fear, of course, points out that most or all of the dissent is aroused by the country's present unofficial state of war. Just as there are wars, however, there are times of peace, and we must consider the President's proposal with that thought in mind. As you may suspect, we are in favor of drafting nineteenyear-olds. No, not because we are twenty-one and have not yet served our stint in the armed forces, but because we feel that it has definite advantages for the young men of America, especially with respect to their plans for the future. · Two years in the military service, or in some form of domestic service for those who are physically unfit or for those who cannot be absorbed into the military because of the tremendous size of the available manpower as that age population increases in rapid strides ( the draft can never be fair in this respect), well anyway, two years in some form of service, we feel, allows a young man time to find himself, so to speak, and to think about his future by exposing him to many real life situations and giving him time to read and explore what interests him. To us this is more beneficial than passing from the rarified atmosphere of high school directly into the more rarefied atmosphere of college. In the latter case, the student is in most instances not sure of exactly what he wants in life and often spends and wastes time flitting from one major to another seeking an answer to his dilemma. Having had two years away from the books and time to think, the student then approaching college is more likely to do so with a definite idea of what he wants out of an education and can set out to accomplish his task. It is said that two years spent in the military immediately after high school may discourage young men from entering college later. To this we say plain old crap! If an individual wants a college education, he will acquire it. Two years is not a really long deprivation time, and it is two years which must be accounted for sooner or later. If working adults can acquire a college education by attending evening college, there is no reason why the mind of a twenty-one or twenty-two year old man should be stymied or deadened to learning after only two years away from the books. Perhaps those who are discouraged from entering college after their military stint never really had a burning desire for a college education in the first place. If such is the case, the President's proposal will rid the colleges of their burden of draft dodgers and perhaps, even the hangers-on, status-seekers and those here mainly for guaranteed job opportunities. Perhaps the colleges can then be returned to the knowledge seekers. Having completed his military obligation prior to entering college, the graduate can then begin his career immediately after graduation rather than postponing it to enter the armed forces or living without knowing whether or not he will be inducted into the army. There are, of course, many if's, and's and hut's to the question at hand. Space limitations, however, prevent more discussion of qualifications. Give Blood It is generally agreed that three reasons exist for being a nondonor in the blood drive: Medical reasons - few. True, the College does have people who are anemics or hemophiliacs or who have various other legitimate excuses for not becoming a donor. Fear - some. Granted, the fear is there. It is real. But, is there an effort to overcome it? Apathy - overwhelming. The apathetic person will give of his wallet if the matter concerns his well-being or pleasure; however, when asked to give of himself, the response is strikingly different. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the gym on W ednesday from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p .m. for the semi-annual Wilkes College blood drive. Each student has received a pledge form which should be deposited in the container at the Bookstore, and a parental release to be used if the would-be donor is over 18 but under 21. This must be signed by a parent or guardian and brought to the gym on the day of the drive. Extra parental release forms are available at the Bookstore. The Red Cross asks each would-be donor to eat breakfast on the day of the drive, not just coffee or tea, but a complete breakfast . Although the College has nearly 2000 students, the blood drive that took place in the fall was able to obtain only 308 pints of blood. Please make an effort to insure the success of the forthcoming drive. WILK ■ S COLL ■ OE BEACON Editor-in-Chief ................ Barbara Simms News Editor ................

JRC Friday, April 14, 196/ ?c1-u,n Chinese past rundown; ITIOre will COITle later by John T. Engle F or China, the dawning o f the 20th cen tury ended her 3000 year reign as the center of th e world , Western expansion, begun in the 17th century , became the seedbed for future communism, and the closing of the Open Doors" of China to the West in the present century. The Cultural Revolution now occurring in China is a direct result of 300 years of diplomacy by the western nations, including the United States, and will ultim ately affect the outcome of th e Vietnamese conflict. In 1839, Great Britain became the first nation to open the door " of Ch ina. China , lacking any conception as to what they were up against during the Opium skirmis hes, failed to resist, believing instead that their superior civilization would rub off on England and that country would realize its mistake, apologize, return the ca ptured ports, pack up and leave China forever. This passivism was interpreted in the West as being borne from a weak nation, and, therefore, by 1842, the policy of Spheres of Influenc e came into being. In 1900, when it became evident that th e United States was losi ng the battle of economic expansion in the Far East, Secretary of State John Hay forced the recognition of the Open Door Policy. China·s answer to this policy was: W ho opened the door anyway?" Th e Chinese response to Wes tern aggression took th e form of five major s teps between the years of 1850 and I 949. Th e first of t hese was the T'ai P 'ing Rebellion, 1850-1868, in which 20 million peasants died. This revolt against the Manchu Dynasty originated iq agrarian unrest, natural calamities, absentee 1andlordism, ·and nationalism. It failed largely because th e rebels failed to provide conquered 00 00 00 territory w ith either protection or constructive administration. Th e second major response to Western aggression took the form of the Boxer Rebellion. Again, China believed the West could be repulsed through ideology and again , she lost more territory. However, after 1900, intellectual ferment for the challenge against th e West led to the third step: the Self-St reng th ening Movement. fo 1908, the United States returned one-half of the indemnity China paid this country after the Boxer Rebellion. This I 8 million dollars provided 1100 Chinese studen ts an opportunity to learn from the West, in order that China could repulse the West at a later date. In addition , Sun-Yat-sen, who had earned a medical degree at the age of 24 and was not permitted to practice in China, became the leader of the revolutionary movement against th e Manchu D ynasty. T •he success of the Russian revolution of 1917 convinced him of the need for Russian support to overthrow the decadent government of Ch ina. In 1919, SunYat-sen journeyed to Mos·c ow for talks with Lenin. The latter suggested, and Sun-Yat-sen accepted, the help of Michael Boridine, a communist, to lead China to a strong National State. With Lenin's death in 1924, communism could not be established in China for lack of a strong leader. In 1925, Sun-Yat-sen di ed without seeing hi s dreams of a strong China realized. The fourth major step in China 's response against the West brought Ch iang Kai-shek, who trained in a Russian military sc hool , to power, and opened the Nationalist Period. In 1927, Chiang beat th e Communists to a purge and pushed them into th e Kiangsi caves. However, in I 931, Japan seized Manchuria , end ing seven years of unmoles tation of China by foreign powers. This new aggression forced the Nationalists to move agains: Japan while the Communists, under Mao Tse-tung, moved into the open country and organized the landless peasants on a model of Soviet Russia. Between 1931 -1941. Chiang fought against th e Japanese alone, and the Communists rebuilt their strength and power. Th e United States declaration of war against Japan in I 941 offered some help to the Nat ionalists, but by 1946 Ch iang's forces were worn out while Mao·s were fresh from no fighting. The United States sent both Patrick Hurley and General George Marshall to China , fearing an outbreak of fighting ," but both failed ( 1946-4 7) and Mao gained the upper hand by 1948. Ch iang retreated with his followers to the island of Formosa. 00 Communism under Mao Tse-tung is th e last major Chinese step against the aggress ion of the West. It is to be emphasized that the over-riding purpose of China through all five steps was the removal of the West and the restriction of "China for the Chinese." Between 1950- 1960, China was allied with the U .S.S.R. against the West; but, by 1960. the West was removed and China remembered t he plunders of Czarist Russia on China from 1860 to 1917. To complete th e overthrow of th e West, China had to make a choice between adopting their own atomic power to defeat the West. as against th e Russian policy of P eaceful Coexis tence , or depend upon Russia for its weaponry. China chose to gamble and develop its own atomic power, leading to the break in the ChinaSoviet Alliance in I 960. In I 964 , China ex ploded its first atomic bomb and by I 967, th e communist split was beyond repair.

Ci,.cle I{ District groups meet 'The Jermyn Motor Inn, Scranton, is the setting for this year 's convention of the Pennsylvania District, Circle K International. The conference, which begins today and ends Sunday, fa the climax of the Circle K year with the election of the three district officers. The Pennsylvania District is just one of many in the international structure , comprised of the United States and Canada. The Pennsylvania organization is rather new but already has a roster of 35 clubs, found in many of the colleges and universities throughout the state, including Lehigh , Penn State, and Muhlenberg. 'The College's club will have thre e candidates for district offices this y ear. Dale Kresge, presently lieutenant governor of District 5, is seeking th e office of governor, the highest state office. Dick Cantner, the College's club secretary, is running for the pos t of treasurer. Nelson Smiles is a candidate for the position of lieutenant governor of District 5. Barry M . Miller of the College and present governor of the Pennsylvania District ,hopes to make this past Circle K year and this weekend's convention a success. Miller notes that the College's club is in the competition for the Single Service A ward, the Achievement Award and the Governor's Trophy. These are just three of th e awards presented each year to th e most outstanding club for se rvice. achiev ement, and progress. With th e growth of Circle K in · Pennsylvania , the College will face some tough com petition.

Honor lies in honest toil. - McDonald's Grover Cleveland San Souci Highway by Roman Tymchyshyn Though the film would appear to be the only specifically modern medium in art, and thus of some consequence, it is widely disregarded and misunderstood. Too many otherwise well -informed and sensitive people see it as a mere reproductive medium, translating novels, plays and what have you, into another, and more "vulgar" form. In this field all too many people are analphabeti'c, or rather " aniconic. " For the film is a medium sui generis. As the late Maya Deren, America's greatest woman film maker , has put it, " the film , structured to deal expressly in movement and time-space relationshi-ps. is the most propitious and appropriate art form for expressing, in terms of its own paradoxi·c ally intangible reality, the moral and metaphysical concepts of the citizen of this new age." The significant film thus has as much, if not more, right to our attention as any other mode of reflection on human experience. But unlike a good book, which ·c an be had at any good library or shop, the significant film is a commodity hard to come by. •It was with this situation in mind that a new film series was recently started here in the interest of the college community. The ·first two programs, both of whi·c h were very well attended, have already taken place. They featured that touchstone of the classic film , Eisenstein"s Potemkin, and several short films by Bruce Baillie, one of America 's best young filmmakers and pastoral poets. The ne-w series, which emphasizes the auteur cinema, that is, films made by men and not by committee, has been organized by the art club. The latter's lider maximo, Joseph Stallone, had the cooperation of Michael Stein and Roman Tymchyshyn of the department o'f fine arts; and the help , financial and otherwise, of the students df the College, through their elected representatives, particularly Matt Fliss, SG president; and of Robert Goldenberg of the French department; of Dr. Holden of the physics department; and of Dr. Kerr; of Alfred Groh, director of the Center for the Performing Arts; and of Karl Knoecklein, the producer of the "light shows" that were a part of the first two programs.

Barring unforeseen difficul ties, a surprise guest performer will accompany Chaplin on the honky-tonk piano. The featured film of the third and last program this semester will be Jules and Jim, by Francois Truffaut, France's leading young auteur, who also directed The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, etc. This award-win ning film , starring Jeanne Moreau and Oskar Werner, was praised to the skies by Time magazine and Pauline Kael alike (!). :The art club hopes to organize a "bigger and better" film series next semester. The organizers hope that it will be possible to coordinate these programs, in one way or another, with the three already existing, but somewhat differently oriented, local film series, sponsored by St. Stephen 's Coffeehouse, the Manuscript Society and King's College. The art club series will again feature selections from the great classics, films by Eisenstein, Renoir, Vigo, etc. ; films by newer European auteurs; and a pick of the so-called "" underground cinema"" of America 's new experimentalists. Definitely slated to be shown are: the eyeopening, surrealist tragic farce , An Andalusian Dog, by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel (director of Viridiana, etc.) ; and Oh Dem Watermelons, by the West Coast's Robert N elson , a film that is best described as a riot.

Governor Shafer, along with John P. Wheeler, chairman of the National Committee on State Constitutional Revision , also addressed the students. >Five regions of the state were rep resented at the conference, namely , Southeast, Southwest, Central , Northeast. and Northwest. Ten colleges, including Wilkes, comprised the Northeast delegation. Robert Iseman of Duquesne University of the Southwest region was elected chairman of the State Assembly, and Mary Cessarini of Villanova University, Southeast region, was elected clerk. The College 's delegation attended and presented bills at each of the nine committees, including, legislative, executive, judiciary, suffrage, elections, taxation and · finance , local govern ment, revisions and amendments, and bill of rights. ·Myrna Lou Brodbeck of the ~College, Regional Director of !CG, presided over the first regional executive meeting and announced that Wilkes (Continued on Page 4} Chuck Robbins rIZZA J,.....,,~---- .Al<50 OAIL.Y•llAM.,IIP.M.

Mr. Kanner and Mr. Rapisardi accompanied the group on their flight to Boston where they stayed at the Statler-Hilton Hotel during their trip. During the day , the group attended various lectures given by many of the most well-known and respected men in the field of psychology . The psychological research done during the past year by these men lies in the areas of brain functions and the use of RNA to stimulate th e brain. Members of the group were chosen to go on the basis of their meeting attendance and active participation in the club 's projects. Although given an allotment by Student Government, in addition to •holding a fund -raising dance , the club could only subsidize a portion of the trip. Consequently, some eligible members were unable to go because of the financial factor; psychology members who were not in the club were then able to go if they so desired. ,Members who went were: Jeff Namey, president; Ray Dennis, cotreasurer; Barbara Salus; Marilyn Slifer; and Dave Piatt. �WILKES COLLEGE BBACON rnaay, Apm l'f , 1967 Bardballers handle Barpur by Bob Thompson Brisk spring weather greeted the Colonels last Tuesday, but it didn't cool off the team as they peppered Harpur with ten hits and six runs.

Last Tuesday, Joe Zakowski tossed a three-hitter leading the Colonels to a 6-0 victory over Harpur College. It was the team's second win against one loss and avenged last year's loss to Harpur. The Colonels had a total of ten hits with all rbut two Colonels hitting safely. Barry Tiras had th e only extra-base hit, a long triple in the eighth inning which drove in two runs. John Stanley, who filled in at right field for injured Pete Patalak, had a fine day with two hits, two runs, and one rbi. :For Harpur, Kaufman managed two singles but got no help from his teammates. The hero of the day, was Zakowski, who gained his second win of the season on a brilliant three-hit effort. In the twelve innings he pitched so far, he has not given up an earned run. Against Harpur he struck out nine and went two for three. Only a freshman, Zakowski promises to be one of Wilkes' best all around athletes, also starring at quarterback for the MAC championship football team.

Seep. 3 Friday, April 21, 1967 VOL. XXVI, No. 21 Tonight at 8:30 p.m ., after three months of preparation, Cue 'n Curtain will open its first Shakespearean production, Othello, in the Center for the Performing Arts. This Shakespearean tragedy of jealousy, suspicion, and intrigue, one of his most difficult to perform, is being directed by Alfred S. Groh, assisted by Miss Myvanwy Williams. The action of the play unfolds as Iago, Othello's ensign, seeks to incite the hopes of wealthy, gullible Roderigo, whom Desdemona has shunned as a suitor in order to marry Othello. In order to justify Roderigo's demands to produce some results to justify the gold and jewels that he has been paid to advance Roderigo's suit, Iago decides to bring Cassio into his plot as a means of discrediting Desdemona in th e eyes of Othello, thus enhancing Roderigo's chances with Desdemona . At the same time, Cassio will lose his lieutenancy, which Iago feels he deserved instead of Cassion. Spurred on by success, Iago becomes bolder in his scheming until he devilishly implants in Othello's mind suggestions of Desdemona 's infidelity. However, by this time the characters are caught "in a net to enmesh them all." Playing the difficult role of Iago will be Jan Kubicki who last played King Pellinore in Camelot and directed the one-act play, Sorry, Wrong Number, in February. "The role of Iago," said Kubicki, "has been more challenging than all my other roles combined. The hardest scene to do is the one in which Iago cautiously suggests to Othello that Desdemona is being unfaithful to him. The results are far greater than even he had anticipated. The lengthy scene, the turning point of the play, is a fascinating psychological study of Iago and Othello, the end of which depicts the complete reversal of their psychological roles. The fascinating aspect of Iago is that he is not the typical villain. As he says at one point, 'I am what I am.' meaning that he puts on a good act in front of everyone, hiding from them the stark depths of his soul. .. Others in the cast are Edwin Manda as Othello; Darlene Van Meter as Desdemona; Jean Kardos as Emilia; Ted Levitsky as Cassio; Jim Gallagher as Roderigo; Gail Wallen as Bianca; Dennis English as Brabantio; Angelo Garofalo as Mantano; Roger Brewer as the Duke of Venice; Eliot Rosen baum as Lodovico; and Ed Liskey as Gratiana. ,T echnical director of the theater , Joan Tymchyshyn, will act as lighting director, assisted by David Frey.

Members of this committee are John Engle, Junius Society; Linda Hoffman, Women 's Chorus; Ed Pashinski, Collegians; Toni Supchak, TDR ; Joe Jerrytone, Biological Society; Ron Sampiero, !CG. Judy Simonson opened the meeting with a discussion of several of the committee's propositions, the most im, portant of which was th e idea that the Council could possibly schedule and sponsor at least one, and possibly more, big-name concerts during the academic year. Suggested dates for these concerts were Spring Weekend and Homecoming. A discussion of this proposition followed, centering mainly on the problem of financing the concert, and th e question of possible loss of money. Several solutions were suggested, the most feasible seeming to be a loan from Student Government for the initial treasury. Edward Pashinski, chairman of the Council, stressed the purpose and potential of the newly formed Council, pointing out its need, in addition to a Student Government. He stated that our present Student Government handles so many varied aspects of student life that it cannot possibly cover each aspect in the detail required for maximum efficiency. The purpose, therefore, of the Council would not be to substitute for Student Government b ut rather to supplement it. •John Engle brought up the sore need which the College has at present for some sort of tradition, something to become a part of the history of the College, to serve to attract the Alum- ni to a greater interest in th e school. A suggestion was offered that the Council could also plan and sponsor several barbecues during the year. with the first possible date being the first weekend of the semester. Although the work incurred by this type of endeavor is mammoth, with the cooperation of all the campus clubs, the task could be accomplished without too much difficulty. A dinner meeting is to be arranged with Dr. Farley and the special committee to discuss the power and plans of the Council. The next meeting of the Council of Club Presidents will be announced at a future date by means of letters in the various club mailboxes. Clubs are reminded that any club which fails to have a representative at more than one Council meeting per semester will lose its calendar dance date for the following year. Ne xt Tuesday, at 8 p.m., the third and last program in th is semester's art club film series will be shown; this program is being co-sponsored by the French department. The featured film, starring Jeann e Moreau and Oskar Werner, will be Francois Truffaut's Jules et Jim ( I 961) , a film as controversial as it is famous. D enounced by the " Legion of Decency ," it was lauded by the critic of th e Christian Science Monitor in these words: .. . . . a film whose subtlety of technique is matched by th e subtlety of feeling for a moral predicament that ex ten ds beyond personal confines and seems to include the confusion of its times ... (11he action of the film is set in the European intellectual-artistic milieu of the years 'before WW I to the rise of the Nazis.) Jules et Jim is a film praised extensively by both Pauline Kael and Time magazine. Time's critic wrote: "So spontaneous, si ncere , generous, naive, and natural that a spectator who sits down to watch it feeling old and dry will rise up feeling young and green ." Truffaut, th e originator of th e French " N ew Wave," is yet paradoxically the closest link with the classic Frenc h cinema of the I 930's. For sheer vitality of characters, beauty of landscapes, importance of subject, and evocation of period, all suffused with an extraordinary musical se tting, Jules et Jim can only be compared with R enoir 's pre-war masterpieces. What Truffaut set out to accomplish is best described by himself: "I wanted to realize a dream. Starting from the most scabrous si tuation there can be - two men and a woman living thei r whole lives together - to succeed in making a film of the purest love possible, thanks to th e innocen·c e of the three main characters, their moral integrity, their tenderness and above all their dec ency. The 'tone· of the film - which evokes the celebrated Design For Living of Ernst Lubitsch - will be the same as in The 400 Blows: a story told in halftones, sad in its outline but funny in detail. lf it succeeds it will be a hymn to love, but s till , a hymn to life." Two silent films will play with Jules et Jim. The longer of these stars Charli e Chaplin; the other portrays the somewhat accelerated execution of an artistic endeavor in "Chester Colson Hall " on campus. Barring unforeseen difficulti es, both films will be accom panied on the honky- tonk piano by a surprise guest.

More than ever, they aver, academic air is rife with the spirit of insurrection. Whether those gentlemen are right or wrong is ultimately a question to be dealt with by empiricism; the implications raised by those gentlemen, however, are not to be set aside as easily. For those gentlemen would have us believe that the spirit of revolution is a pernicious and disruptive force in the institution of education. On the contrary, an examination of the revolutionary spirit proves it to be a sine qua non of modern education. The revolutionary spirit is, in fact, vital to the continuance of any nation of free and intelligent people. Perhaps the repugnance with which revolution is regarded is due to its usual physical manifestations. Revolutions of a political sort have been and continue to be bloody, infamous things; and war, to be sure, is a hated thing in this, a land of peaceful farmen; a land opposed, in theory at least, to violence. But revolutions involve much more than the ball and musket; they have causes and results. In every conceivable instance, they arise from a people's perception of a better state of affairs and from the consequent striving to attain that better condition. It is inconceivable, at any rate, that the French Revolution was fought to promote squalor. Rather, it is more likely that the Revolution was fought, in part, to eliminate the squalor and to replace it with a better condition. This awareness of and a striving toward a better condition constitutes the real spirit of any revolution. Thought of in this way, it is patent that the revolutionary spirit and the spirit of education are congruent. For what is the splrit of education if not the struggle for an increasing awareness of all things; if not the battle against ignorance and the fight for intellectual freedom? Does not the educated man seek to become aware of inequity and, if finding it, to overcome it, to revolt against it, if you will? The compatability of the revolutionary spirit with the spirit of education grows more significant in our time, when revolutions are more likely to be fought with ideas rather than with swords. Only deprive a nation of its will to revolt_. and the stimulus that was education becomes for it a sedative of domestication. The cows will forever chew their cud, and the grass on the other side of the fence, alas!, will never come to their vision. And if we ourselves are not soon to turn into a nation of cattle, we must revive th~ Spirit of 1776 - the spirit of revolution. llt11cj 8cck ''Red hot'' item reviewed Editor's note: This review is being reprinted from the "Collegiate Compendium," It originally appeared in "The Minnesota Daily." The "in" book on campus is "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," th e bible of the Red Guard and the textbook of the cultural revolution in Communist China . !The book is selling very well, according to bookstores in the University area, although not as well as in some other parts of the country. On the East Coast it is " red hot." "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung," a Bantam book that reprints the complete text o f the Englishtranslated edition publ ished in Peking, divides Mao"s thoughts into 33 separate areas. 1Some chapters have titles suc h as "Th e Correct Handling df Contradictions Among th e P eople," "Imperialism and All Reac tionaries are Paper Tigers," "Th e P eople's Army, " "Th e Mass Lin e," "Building Our C ountry Through Diligence and Frugality," "Self-reliance and Arduous Struggle," and others. Why the sudden popularity of "Quotations from Chairman Mao T setung"? The "Quotations" seem to be mostly a curiosity in th e United States, not a source o'f inspiration. Explaining the sudden popularity of the book, Professor David Co,'Jperman, chairman of the social science program, said that Mao's words are the "words of the devil" to Americans, NEITHER HEBE NOH THEHE "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I just asked a few peace-hippies if they minded the fact that most of the money for thi s demonstration came from communists or communist front organizations. They sa id they didn 't mind communist sup port as long as it was not from the C.I.A. This left me somewhat confused until one of them explained that due to a complex metaphysical point (ma inly that even the C.I.A. wouldn't support them) the communists are the good guys and those who oppose them. like Hungarian Freedom Fighters, are the bad guys.

Cooperman sees a certain "awe, fear , and titilation of danger" that induces Americans to peek through the veil of mystery. "Red China comes through as a country of mysterious power - an oriental juggernaut - and has displaced Russia as the arch-devil," he said. " Part of the book's popularity has to do with Mao's style of writing, .. Cooperman said. "Much of Mao 's writing is aphorisms," he said, with a "style that is archaic and intriguing," having th e same social function of urging on to new success and hard work as Benjamin Franklin 's "Poor Richard" sayings. The book, Cooperman said , has a " folkish quality" that appeals in its novelty to more sophisticated Am ericans. William Rogers , director of W arid Affairs C enter, said there is a "quite natural interest in a book that is the symbol of th e cultural revolution" in Red China. The book"s content is not important, Rogers sa id, but since it is important to understand th e Chinese mentality, "reading their best-seller is a good way of finding out about the Chinese mind." His tory Professor Craig Die trich found the interest in Mao·s thoughts " rather amusing," and said that except for the theory, th e quotations were some thing of a pep talk. "It is the 'Let's all swing together," haranguing sort of th ing. I assume that students are sophisticated about this ," he said. Dietrich said other better and more detailed sources of Communist thought were available for those that were really interested. !These are a few of the quotations from the book: Wh ere do th e corre·c t ideas co111e from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from so-cial practice, and from it alone; they come from three kinds of social practice, the struggl e and scientific experiment. Without a people's army the people have nothing. All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are riot so powerful. From a long-term point of view, it is not th e reactionaries but the people who are really powerful.

The meeting was filled with sadness since it gave a moment of respectful silence to the late Leo Mundy, former class member. Afterwards an innovation was added to the agenda. The executive council recognized certain members of its class for outstanding accomplishments which have brought status and prestige to both the class and the College. They were presented with certificates of merit, made of parchment paper, and signed by the president, secretary, and advisors of the class. The certificates read as follows : "Certificates of Merit, Wilkes College, Oass of 1969. In grateful appreciation the class of 1969 recognizes the '.>Utstanding accomplishments of (name) individual contribution to the stature of the class and of Wilkes College in the Area of (contribution)." Awards were presented in the following categories: football, soccer, highest grade average for both male and female, men's basketball, swimming, girls' basketball, wrestling, and chairmen of projects.

OPIUM LAND: OR, BANANA FIELDS FOREVER I Revolutionaries who are not nihilists ( there are a few; yes there are) generally have some recommendations or at least plans for that future messianic age corning when they overcome. (Enough of this introductory junk. Sorry about that last euphemism, but this is a Valley paper and not the East Village Other,) Anyway, some of us intrepid revolutionaries , knowing full well that Beacon recommendations are never put into effect ( yes, this is paranoia , and ft is called insight) decided to try again after seve ral of us got together in a suitable establishment. (Re: NEITHER HEJR'E NOR THERE Guide to Bars.) What follows are our recommendations for the 'best of all possible worlds. Ack! Ack We'd like to see the Administration owning Fokker tri-planes ( euphemisms again) to correct the parking problem for staff members. And we also feel that Student Government members ( this is called a revolution lead by the Establishment should be provided with anti-aircraft guns. Ack-Ack! The engineering club should be given the task of draining the Susquehanna river basin ( that solves the problem of what to do about Pringle after Kingston is saved) so that history or anthropology majors could be able to look for Indian arrowheads, nuclear or otherwise. We 're still hung up on the idea of having an oak tree in Conyngham yard since spring is now upon us ( twit, twit , the Commons is in 'bloom, daffodils are out, etc.) and most of us can ' t stand it without performing some druid rites. And we'd still like benches for the spectators. 53 Years If we can't have the tree, we would be satisfied with the translapidating of Stonehenge. The far-reaching benefits of such an undertaking stagger our souls. (We mean it would be beneficial to the College .) Art majors could scream about art for art's sa ke since someone from the department usually present in the Caf would point out Stonehenge as an example of artistic forms . Science majors could compile a new calendar after checking out the stars for 53 years. (It was, stupid, an observatory for the ancient Britons.) English majors could play early Celts and recite Celtic poems while some senior O,mmerce and Finance major wreathed in mistletoe and earning $8,000 next year would be sacrificed by a senior English major earning $5350 next year. Nothing here is implied - like jealousy. Fairly and squarely would lots be drawn for a C & F victim. ( Shades of Shirley Jackson and all that other esoteric stuff - sorry about the euphemisms again.) We'd be happy to see apples from Dr. Farley 's farm given to college dropouts who can't get jobs so that they could sell them on street corners or put them in TOR members' mouths. Finally, we 'd like to see THE underground film at the Center for the Petform ing Arts - "Birth ," made with a box camera . The House Committee on Un-American Activities charged recently that communists are the prinicipal organizing force behind extensive demonstrations which took place last week as a part of "Vietnam Week ." A Committee report, "Communist Origin and Manipulation of Vietnam Week, " stated that the aims of these demonstrations are to reverse the U.S. policy of resisting communism in Vietnam , to undermine the United States, to destroy any possibility of establishing a stable democratic government in Vietnam, and to promote a communist takeover there. The Committee named two groups as planners and organizers of the demonstrations - the Student Mobilization Committee and the Spring Mobilization Committee . It stated, "Communists are playing dominant roles" in both organizations. The student group , the Committee stated, grew out of a con'ference •in Chicago last December, called by Bettina Aptheker of the Communist Party's National Committee, to organize a nationwide student strike against the war in Vietnam. The two committees have joined forces to insure the success of their joint projects. Herbert Aptheker The Committee report identified topranking communists as being associated with the Chicago conference and the two committees spearheading the demonstrations. Among them are Herbert Aptheker, leading theoretician of the Communist Party; Mike Zagarell. the Party's national youth director; Arnold Johnson, the Party's public relations director; Bettina Aptheker, described by the Committee as the Party's " top youth agitator;" Carl Bloice, first publications director of the W.E. B. DuBois Club; Robert Heisler, former DuBois Clubs' National Commit teem,rn; and Albert Lime, chairman of the Northern California District of th e Communist Party - all members of the Communist Party's National Committee. Trotskyist communists, the Committee report stated, are also prominent in the organization of Vietnam Week. They include Fred Halstead, National Committeeman; Joel Britton, Chicago organizer; Jack Barnes, New York organizer of the Trotskyist communist organization, the Socialist Workers Party; and Lew Jones, 1966 National Chairman of the Trotskyist group, the Young Socialist Alliance. ,Prior to the actual start o>f Vietnam Week, representative Edwin E . Willis, chairman of HUAC, said evidence indicates that the organizers of Vietnam Week may succeed in thei r basic objective of staging the largest and most extensive demonstrations against the war in Vietnam . "We must keep in mind, however, that they originally hoped to turn out 500,000 people for their march in New York and the same number for their San Francisco march and demonstration - a total of one million people. But they did not get anything like this number. It was a communist failure in this respect, though they succeeded in providing a lot of grist for the world-wide communist propaganda mill. " Naturally this is disturbing. It is encouraging, however, to know that the great majority of students in this country did not have anything to do with Vietnam Week and counter dem onstrations were organized on some campuses." The Committee report went on to say : Global publicity was given to Vietnam Week demonstrations by communist propagandists in all parts of the world. This publicity has the effects of giving aid and comfort to the communists everywhere, particularly in Vietnam . Among non-communists, it tends to create the false impression that a truly large segment of the U .S . population is vehemently opposed to this country 's policy in Vietnam . U.S. leaders are faced with greater difficulties in convincing our allies of the correctness of this country's policy in Vietnam . IDC revamps structural basis To bring about increased organization and effectiveness of dormitory government and to meet and successfully cope with the particular needs and problems of dormitory students, the Inter-Dormitory Council last week voted to reorganize the present system of dormitory government. Wayne Yetter, president of !DC, and Bill Bush, aided by many others, prepared a list of recommendations which they felt will achieve a successful reorganization. The list was presented to the dormitories in a newsletter. New Structure Dormitory self-government will consist of individual administrative units within each dormitory. These administrative units will be selected by the students of the individual dormitories and will handle the particular needs and problems .o f that unit. A Men's Dormitory Council and a Women's Dormitory Council, consisting of the president of each dormitory or his chosen representative, will handle the problems and needs which are common to the men students and to the women students, respectively. The Inter-Dormitory Council will consist of chosen representatives from each male and female dormitory. The Council will handle the overall problems and needs of the students regardless of their sex or dormitory assignment. At each meeting o'f both of the above councils. there will be present two rep resentatives from the other council so that continual contact and communication between the two groups can be maintained. Also to be organized is a permanent committee consisting of faculty, administrative and other representatives. The purpose of the committee will be to deal with the particular needs of dormitory students at the College. to assist them in all ways possible, and to act as a channel of communication to the faculty and the Administration . This committee shall consist of two male faculty proctors, one dormitory house mother, one student proctor, the Assistant Dean of Men, the Assistant Dean of Women, and two members chosen to represent the teaching faculty. Th e committee will meet once a month and more often if it is considered necessary. The committee shall also meet once a month with representatives chosen from the Inter-Dormitory Council , the Men' s Dormitory Council, and the Women 's Dormitory Council to discuss and deal with mutual needs and problems that affect the resident students. It is also agreed that the above committee will recognize and adhere to the above channels of government and will not permit these orderly processes to be circumvented in any way. In presenting any complaint. problem or suggestion, the individual dormitory students shall follow these lines of communication . ·It is also suggested that the various dormitory councils arrange their individual meetings on a planned and patterned basis so that there is no overlapping of their meetings. Perhaps the men's and women's councils can meet during the first and third weeks of the month, with the Inter-Dormitory Council meeting during the second and fourth weeks.

The turnout surpassed previous years and was acclaimed a su·ccess by all who attended. Master of ceremonies. Jay Holliday, directed the night's activities while the contestants were judged by Mr. Edward Wallison, public relations director; Mr. Michael Stein of the art department; and Mr. Robert Goldenberg of the French department. The folk talent of Wilkes received the most enthusiastic reception and also captured all but one of the cash prizes. First place was voted unanimously to Lex Romane , a Wilkes :reshman who sang "'Jersey Thursday" and "Universal Soldier." Romane received a cash prize of $100. Both a group and a single act , also from the College, occupied second place and received prizes of $50 each . They were he Brandywine Trio who sang "Greenback Dollar" and "Yes, I See"; and Patricia Lewis who sang "Plaisir d' Amour" and "You're Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond ." LEX ROMANE The judges voted to award third place to both a single act and a group. Sharing the spot were Clark Bromfield o'f the College, who sang "Ti! It's Time For You To Go" and "Because of Time " ; and Kelly and Kins of East Stroudsburg State College. The prize for third place was $25. Proceeds from the concert were turned over to the Wyoming Valley Heart Fund. College art lair plans under way ·Plans are now underway for the seventh annual Wilkes College Art Fair, to be held May 5 and 6 at Conyngham Annex. The purpose of the fair is to demonstrate to the College and to the surrounding communities by means of a two day exhibition, the accomplishments of the art students' creative work. This exhibit is under the direction of Mr. Anthony Evangelista, who will be assisted by Patricia Passer and Michael Grace, student co-chairmen. The committee members are: Michael Babuschak, Susan Baker, Becky Bannan , Janet Blair, Barbara Cywinski. Carol Drapiewski, Joe Janoski , Mary Ann Konczynski , Phyllis Lukas, Lee Namey, David Palmer, Charlene Ross, Wayne Sittner, Joe Stallone, and Sandra Walder. This year, something new has been added - the senior art majors will jury the show. The types of work acceptable are: all media of painting , drawings, graphics, jewelry, sculpture, and ceramics. Those entering must be art majors or enrolled in an art major course. The entries will be accepted in the Gallery in Conyngham Annex anytime during the day on May 1, May 2, and no later than 1 p.m. on May 3. Entry blanks are available in Conyngham Annex and in Barre Hall. rrosh and junior classes make plans The Freshman class held a meeting last Tuesday. Nominations were held for class officers for the 67-68 semester. The nominees are as follows: Zig Pines, Chuck Lengle, and Bernard Holleran , president; Paul Tweedy, Dave Roberts , and Johnyne Supulski, vi·ce-president; Paula Gilbert by acclamation, secretary; and Odey Raviv and Jay Goldstein, treasurer. Nominations for SG were held. The positions will be chosen among Catherine Eastman, Joe Thunnell, Dan Kopen, Mary Beth George, Nelson Rogers , Tom Jones , Sandy Kulick, Dave Lombardi, Mary Ann Polocko, and John Andrejko. {Continued from Page 3) IDC REVAMPS Committees JDC and each of the other dorm councils will frame its own general rules and procedures so that it can best handle its own particular responsibilities. It is suggested, however, that the IDC organize on the basis of certain standing committees chosen to handle the various functions traditional to that organization. Among these rommittees might be: Student Awards Committee, Special Events Committee, Student Voice Committee ( to handle general complaints, suggestions, etc.), Recreation Committee ( to handle all dormitory social and recreational programs, including intramurals), and a Mediation Committee ( to deal with disputes, etc., that might arise). Plans for the Cinderella Ball were discussed, as well as those for the establishing of a memorial fund for the class o'f 1970. Chuck Lengle presided. Lengle reported that the Folk Festival and Faculty Basketball Game were successes. Dr. Mizianty filled in for Dr. Reif as class advisor. Nominations for class offices were held by the junior class on Tuesday, April 18. Those nominated were: presiden't, Tom Giannini and Joe Kiefer; vice-president, Fran Olexy by acclamation; secretary, Hallie Raub and Alicia Ramsey ; treasurer, Basil Russin by acclamation; Student Government, Joe Gatto, Judy Simonson, Alice Fronduti , John Mahon, Sharon Daney, Dave Thomas, and Maureen Flanley. :::m□□□□□□□□□□ o□□□□□□□o□□ o□ o□oo□ o□□□□□□□ □□ □o □□□□□ □ Patronize Our Advertisers 0□□□□0□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ 0000000 □□0□□□□□ □0□□ □0□□□□ COLLEGE Friday, April 21, 1967 BEACON New behavioral knowledge lo solve freedom problems by Mr. Joseph Kanner The satisfaction df human needs cannot be achieved by control over our physical environment alone. It is a function, even more , of man's relationship to man. In fact , the advances of the physical sciences, which have placed in our hands the means for our own destruction , have made the prdblem of human behavior and human relationships the most pressing of all. It is not a prdblem which can be settled by a few wise men over a corr.ference table. Nor can the problem be evaded or postponed. It ·confronts us at a time when the ordinary citizen has achieved a power in society which makes any individual's behavior a matter of concern to all of us. We see this in international affairs, in politics, and in government. We see it in business and industry. We see it in crime and delinquency. We see it in the useless and senseless waste of human resources. We also speak of preventing war, of preventing crime and delinquency, of preventing hate and destruction. So we are planning better cities, better sewage disposal, better cars, and better pills. But how do we plan for better people? To plan is to control. To prevent is to control. Must our plans include the control of human behavior? -I'm sure we will tend to agree that the dangers inherent in the control of human behavior are very real. The possibility of the misuse of scientific knowledge must always be faced. But we cannot escape by denying the power of a science of behavior or attempting to arrest its development. It is no help to ding to familiar philosophies of human behavior simply because they are more re-assuring. although it is understandable in the light of our historical experience with a variety of ideologies and tyrannies masked with benevolence. If we cannot foresee all of the benefits and dangers, this is true df all science as well. The dire consequences of new techniques of control. the hidden menace in cultural design - these exist. But Man has got hims eH into some pretty fixes, and it is easy to believe that he will do so again. But there is a more optimistic possibility. The growth of the methods of science, now for the first time applied to human affairs, may mean a new and exciting phase of human life to which historical analogies will not apply and in which earlier politi'cal concepts and values will not be appropriate. If we are to use the knowledge that a science of behavfor is now making available with any hope of success, we must look at human nature as it is brought into focus through the methods of science, rather than as it has been presented to us in a series of historical accidents. H the advent of a powerful science of behavior causes trouble, it will not be because science itself is inimical to human welfare, but because older conceptions have not yielded easily or gracefolly. We can expect resistance to new techniques of control from those who have heavy investments in the old , but we have no reason to help them preserve a series of beliefs, con- &CARD MART 10 S.

All men control and are controlled. The question of government, in the broadest possible sense, is not how freedom is to be preserved, but what kinds of control are to be used and to what ends. Control must be analyzed and considered in its proper proportions and within new contexts. We need have no desire to develop new master-sla~e relationships or bend the will of tiie people to despotic rulers in new ways. These are the patterns of control more appropriate to a world without science. They may well be the first to go when the experimental analysis of behavior comes into its own in the design of social systems. Fear of control, often generalized beyond any warrant, has led to a misinterpretation of val.id practices and the blind rejection of intelligent planning for a future way of life. □□ 0□ 0□□□□ □ □□□00□□ 00 □□0□ 0000000 □□0 □0□□0□0 □□ 000□ 00 - Rent the "Most Popular" FORMAL OUTFIT Ribicoff and lax relief Senator Ribicoff pointed out that under his proposal over two-thirds of the benefits would go to families earning less than $10,000 a year. In a statement on the Senate floor, Senator Ribicoff said: "Now we must decide if, as a nation, we are to treat education costs as we do the interest on a home mortgage, or Rood damage, or health expenses. This proposal is for the average family in America. It is for the people who constitute the backbone of America - the blue-collar workers, the white-collar workers, the wage earners and salaried persons of the lower and middle income group who are strug gling to pay their bills, buy their homes, and educate their children. They work hard for their wages or salary and it is all taxable." In his bill introduced to the Senate, Ribicoff stated: "Tax relief is a logical method of providing financial assistance to college students. It supplements scholarships, which I have long supported, but does not replace them. As long as the law grants tax relief for medical and casualty expenses, families burdened with high college costs are entitled to similar relief, especially in view of the positive effect criminatory and is easily .cg.s of college education upon our country's culture and economy. It is a method of relief that is completely non-discriminatory and is easily administered without additional governmental expense.

Carl Cook, Steve Kaska , and Pat Salantri all connected with two hits apiece for the Colonels. Last Thursday ,the Colonels traveled to Susquehanna and were tagged with an 8-2 loss. Although the Wilkes men outhit the Crusaders, 9-2, a wild IHth inning spelled th e difference. Behind 2-1 going into the fifth inning , Colonel starter Fred Bauer ran into a wild streak, giving up six runs before Saturday, the Colonels travelled to Williamsport and split a double-header with Lycoming College. Wilkes won the opener 6-0 on a brililan't twohit performance by infielder turn ed pitcher, John Ladomirak. Ladomirak gave up first and second inning singles in route to his first victory, complete game, and shutout of th e year. Pat Salantri gave the Colonels all the support they needed by getting two singles and driving in a pair of runs. In the vesper game , Wilkes hit rough sailing and was on the losing end of a 4-3 contest. Joe Zakowski, who went the entire route in the game, abso~bed his first loss of the season after gaining two consecutive victories. Pat Salantri and George Stultz had two sa'feties apiece for the Wilkesmen. o□□□ oooo □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□o□□ □□□□□□□ o□□□□o □ o o □□□□□□□□□□o □□□oo □□□□□□ o□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□□ □□□□□ 0□00000 □□□□□□□□00□000 □□0□0□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ CHARMS - RINQS Shop at. ..

PHONE, 823-6177 WILKES-BARRE Friday, April 21, 1967 THE HIGH POST by Bob Thompson Early spring is the time for the classic pennant predict-ion. So, last week I asked coach Schmidt for his appraisal of the baseball team. Although not an optomistic sort, he did feel that the team would have a very good season. He feels it is the best team since he has 'been coach. It is loaded with talent; in fact the talent is too deep at every position. This showed to be true when John Stanley took over for starter Pete Patalak and is currently leading the team in hitting. Schmidt feels that the poor weather has hurt his team's early performances, especially in the pitching department which he considers his only problem area. He has only three starters, which does not allow for enough rest between games. Despite the bad weather and little practice, Schmidt feels that the team is still good this early in the season. Schmidt was impressed with how well the team works together and with their aggressiveness. They like to take advantage of the other team's mistakes. It is, I ·feel, the same sort of pride and aggressiveness that Schmidt i~stilled in his MAC Championship F. B. team. Again, he is blessed with the situation of having two seniors on the team. The real tests of the team will be the contests against Moravian, Upsala , AJbright, and Scranton, the teams which Schmidt considers the bes t in the league. Victories over them would surely point to an outstanding season. The first two losses were against teams whi'ch Schmidt considers on a par with WHkes. He attributed the losses to errors and wild pitching at crucial times. Both games could have been wins. The coach could point anyone out as outstanding - they are all good, but some of the leaders are (after six games): John Stanley batting, .500, Steve Koska, .400; Carl Cook, .347; Pat Salantri, .320; and Geaorge Stults, 316; Koska has two doubles while Salantri has two triples and four stolen bases. Cook and Stults each have five rbi. In the pitching department Joe Zakowski has been the workhouse, pitching 20 innings. He has struck out ten and has a 2-1 record. John Ladamerak has pitched 15 innings without giving an earned run . Despite only a 2-2 record after their first four games the Colonels batted .303 to their opponents' .138. After seeing the team in actfon , I have to agree with Coach Schmidt and predi-ct a winning season, perhaps the best in Wilkes history. Several weeks ago the National Basketball Committee of the United States and Canada, which regulates basketball in the United States banned th e dunk shot and -stalling in college and high school basketball. Their reasons for outlawing the dunk s•hot were: there is no defense against the shot; players injure themselves trying it; and break backboards and bend rims. The reasons for outlawing the stall are obvious boredom. The committee has always fought agains t the "big man ." First, the three second rule, then goal tending , then the widening of the foul and now no-dunking . Apparently the domination of UCLA and 7' 1" Lew Alcindor scared the Committee into feeling something must be done. They claim that there is no defense against the dunk shot. But someone like Akindor, who resorts to the shot in dutch situations is really not hampered. He· can reach so far above the rim as it is, that he merely needs to drop it in with a little less arm movement. The Committee claims there is no de'fense against the dunk S'hot, but how do you de.fend against a jump shot or a hook shot by a 7'1" giant? On the other hand , how do you score against him when in close to 'the basket? If you have no one to dunk it, th en don 't bother to shoot close to the basket (witness the NCAA playoffs.) I have no statistics at hand, but I have read conflicting stories. One claims few injuries; th e other a substantial number. One outstanding fact , however, is that many of th e injuries occur in warm-ups. This is related to the third complaint - breakage. Again most damage occurs in warm-ups, and it is usually done by the 6'2" to 6'5 " player who cannot execute a clean dunk shot. This is where the injury and damage occur. How many dunk shots have you see in a game? By whom? You probably will answer few (espe•c ially at Wilkes) and always by the big man who is positive he will make it. Sports Illustrated posed a solution, "Why don't they just outlaw warmups?" There have been many attempts at equalizing the big man, but the one that I fe el is the bes t is raising the rim to 12 feet. This would not eliminate the dunk shot all together. The dunk shot is the most exciting play in basketball and I don't think anyone will deny this. There is nothing like a stolen ball, a long pass, a clear path to the basket, and then a dunk shot. And besides, I've been wa'iting for Wilkes to get a player who can dunk the ball in a game, but now I guess I'll never see it. I am strongly against the rule against staUing . It definitely gives better teams an advantage. True, the Kill-the~ball tactics, which produce ·baseball-like scores are not fair or enjoyable, but that is not the area which the rule hurts. It is the last five minutes of a close game where the the leader chooses to slow down or freeze the ball. They played hard and good to be ahead and deserve a chance to preserve their victory as by some chance the w eaker team might be in the lead. Obviously, if they don 't freez e the ball, the other team will trample them. But now they will be forc ed to play or be faced with a technical foul. □□□□□□□□□□□□ o□□□ o□ o□□□o□o□□□□□□□□□□□□ □□□ o □ ooo□ o□o□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ o□ oo oo □ ooo□□o □□□□□□□o□□□o□o □ooo□ ooo □□ □□□□□□□□ ooo□ □□□□o□o□a □□□o□□ooooo □□o□□□□□□□□□ a□□□□□□□ What of the case where the team's star fouls out with a few minutes to go.

One final argument against the rule is that it throws anoth er burden on the officials. It is purely a judgment call since they must determine whether the team is making an attempt to advance the ball toward the basket or not. Also, they have something else to count. A team mus t advance the ball within ten se·c onds. :J'he 24 second clock might have saved pro ball, but I feel that the anti-stall rule will hurt college and high school basketball. The pros have the ability to sustain an offensive drive but college and high school teams don 't. ,My solution to the problem is that the rule be kept as it is, except in the last five minutes or so. This will stop the boring slow-down tactics 'but still leave those exciting last minutes. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The play, written in the 18th century wi~h 'fhe text by John Gay and music by Christopher Pepusch, satirizes the rich and hypocri'tical upper class df the period and burlesques Jit alian opern whi'ch was very much imi'ta'ted in the London t'heaer of that •time. Beggar's Opera recently enjoyed a long run on Broadway in the form of The Threepenny Opera, adapted by Bertolt Brecht with music by Kurt Weill. The central figure of the play is the debonaire, handsome and dashing Captain Macheath, who will be portrayed by Michael Staire. Macheath is a highwayman and is secretly married to Polly Peachum, who is played by Carol Cronauer. The captain engages -in ex'tra-mari-tal affairs, yet his wife's love for him remains llrm and rigid. However; Polly's father, played by Basil Russin . is outwardly a respectable man but is really a -fence for Macheath's gang, and ·he later betrays Macheath to the police. Machea'th is arrested, escapes, is cap'tured again and is :tried and sentenced to be hanged. At the end of ,the play he is reprieved and swears 'that in the fu- Junius-I RC adopts new constitution by Bob ThompS'.>n At a recent meeting of the JuniuslRC Club, officers for the I 967-68 academic year were chosen. l1hose newly-elected officers are : :president, John T. Engle; executive vice-president, Chris Shaw; llrst vice~resident, Gail Wallen: second vice-presi•d ent, Albert Rine'himer; recording secretary, Sharon Daney; 'treasurer, Steve Lurie ; and historian, Bdb Thompson . The newly-adopted constitution provides for a division of authority which is branched ou•t on different levels. The club also established llve awards to be given annually. An award will be presented to the member df the freshman class with the highest scholastic average in History 101 -102. A second commendation will be presented ,to that history major who attains 1the highest average in American History 107-108. Awards will also go to that his tory major who attains the 'highest average in •history for seven semesters •a nd to that student who presents an original research paper, properly documented and with cited references for any ·a dvanced history course offered at the College. A committee consisting of Dr. Cox, Dr. Ireland, and Mr. Berg or their ,a ppointees shall determine it he recipient of the award. A llfth award will go to the person contributing the most to th e Junius-lRC Club. The awards commiHee will do 'the selecting of all recipients except as noted. Only •the award for the highest average for seven semesters will be pre'Sented this year by 't he club. Also discussed was the success of the two lectures in the "Conflicts of Peace" series which drew 360 people. The llrst lec't ure was given by Mr. Jeff P. Van den Boggert of the Netherlands, and the second was given by Mr. Do Lenh Tuan, llrst secretary of the Observer Office of the Republic of Vietnam to the United Nations. The lecture series will be continued for next year. NOTICE Attorney Thomas E. Mack will speak at the College on Tuesday, May 2. T •he topic to be covered is "Law in the Uni't ed States Today." The program will take place at 11 a.m. in ~he Christian Science Church. ICG will be host; all are invited to attend . ture he will remain true to Polly . In keeping with the sa'tire on Italian operas, Gay included 69 songs in the Beggar's Opera, all of which will be included in the music department's production. The songs merit the close attention of the audience because much of 1the play's satire is to be found in them. It is also interesting to note that the recently popular song "Mack the Knife" is adapted from one of the songs in the opera. Sharing the lead roles with Russin , Staire and Miss Cronauer wilt be Elaine Weber as Mrs. Peachum, Anita Humer as Lucy Locki't , Elaine Krushifski as Diana Tr,a pes, Curtis Roberts as Filc'h, and Dennis English as Lockit. The women of the town will be played by Carol SuUon, Merrill Farrell, Arlene W 'illiams, Joy Geida . Arlene Mezanko, Pati Lewis, Pat Berrera, and Barbara Libera sky. The men of the town will be portrayed by Thomas Jones, Wil'liam Harrison, Michael Lisko, Neil Rosenshein, Roger Bu'tler, Edward Loch, Robert Smurlo, Robert Sokoloski and Elliot Rosenbaum . Performances of the Beggar's Opera will be held a't the Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday , May 6. at 2:30 p .m. and on Sunday , May 7, at 8:30 p.m. Students, faculty, office and maintenance personnel will 'be entitled to a free 'ticket.

No, we are not revolutionary minded; we just think that this "venerable" institution, whose representative positions are "much coveted" by the student body, is just a hanger-on, another bunch of committees and sub-committees adding dead weight to the College's bureaucracy. It seems to us that there are other bureaucratic institutions on this campus which could handle student government matters more effectively. And since every editorial must have reasons to support its purpose, here are ours. One of SG's main functions, that of regulating campus clubs, could very well be taken over by the newly-formed Council of Club Presidents. Since these people are more closely connected with the matter at hand, clubs, there is no reason why they could not be more effective in governing themselves and working out their own problems than could SG. As for the social calendar, campus events could possibly be scheduled by a calendar committee appointed by the Council of Club Presidents. It could consist of members of the Council or several capable people appointed by them. Campus clubs and organizations are, after all, the sponsors of 99 per cent of the social events on campus. Why not put the scheduling of these affairs in the hands of those most directly concerned? Homecoming and Spring Weekend, two of the few affairs totally planned by SG, might be administered by several members from the executive council of each of the four classes, since these are affairs held by and for f).e entire student body. SG's dutie1, as campus exchequer might also be assigned to a group of students appointed by the Council of Club Presidents (let the clubs dole their own dole, accordingly) or to a non-partisan group appointed by the Council, commerce and finance majors, perhaps, who might be looking for before-the-job training. In the same vein, might not class elections be governed by a board of political science people? According to the College's Bulletin, SG is responsible for establishing social regulations and conduct. We feel that we have yet to see SG act as the campus arbiter of social and behavioral norms and standards. There exist already, we think, organizations which can and do handle any outstanding behavioral infractions. The Inter-Dormitory Council can take care of any such problems occurring among the resident students. The Council of Club Presidents can assume the responsibility of punishing offenders among its members with respect to their club activities. And the Administration is known to have a way of handling any glaring behavioral or social infractions occurring within the student body in general. One might counter our argument with the statement that the student body needs a group which will serve as its representative. Might not the officers of the individual classes assume this task? Are they not elected as representatives of their particular classes? Could not these officers be better representatives of the students, because of their intimacy with their own classes' needs, problems and aspirations, than could a distant governing body which must worry about a whole mass? One might also counter with the argument that the student body needs a united voice and that is why we need SG. Well, where is the voice? It appears to us then that there are already existing or could exist groups of individuals which could assume the tasks of student governing with the same and in some cases more effectiveness than that body elected to do so now. Besides, Samuelson tells us that division of labor produces the best results with the greatest efficiency ( unless the law of diminishing returns rears its head). COMEDY EVERYWHERE What follows are some of the best jokes that we have heard in years. All were gleaned from the College's Bulletin and Student Handbook. We wonder if the writers of these two tomes have ever considered the stage as a career. It could be worth millions to them. And awaaay we go - "The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden, and none will be served at College affairs." "Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, in the library or on the first floor of the Commons. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke during their free periods." "Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes on a Mardi Gras atmosphere." "The position of Student Government Representatives is among the most coveted and most responsible on the campus." "You will find that Wilkes students do not smoke in classroom buildings, the library or in Chase Hall. They may and do smoke on campus and in the lounges, however." "Like most of her sister colleges, Wilkes naturally frowns on the wearing of letters won at other institutions. Of course that doesn't mean that you must leave your school letter-sweater to the moths. Simply detach the offending letter and let the unadorned garment shield you from Susquehanna's chilling blasts." "The library maintains open stacks in which you may browse freely - a privilege which places an obligation on you: the staff expects you to have all books charged at the circulation desk before you remove them from the building." "Try always to remember that the library is intended for reading and study. If you find it absolutely necessary to talk, or whisper, you may do so in the foyer. Smoking and snackmunching are permitted only in the front foyer." Didn't we tell you that the College Bulletin and the Student Handbook are fun things? Not only are they interspersed with jokes such as the above, but both books are written in a folksy and homey style of writing. To make one feel wanted, befriended and informally at ease, of course. Do read one or both the next time you are down in the dumps. Mentally, that is. COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 28, 1967 NEITHER HERE NOR THERE £.LE e,, 1 o,J S 'ft>, 13 o 1.. Ed. Note: Class elections have, of course, already been run and won. The BEACON, however, decided to whip out its instant replay equipment to show the mechanics behind election victory. ELECTIONS! The cry goes out far and wide. Each year a't ·this time our own little Boss Tweeds set out to cover themselves with political glory . This year's freshman elections involve n·o significant issues or people. It has become a battle of girth versus mirth. The incumbent is Lebanon Lengle who points with pride to his role as a I by John T. Engle Part II In 1961, Mao Tse-tung ruined th e Chinese economy by gambling on guns and forsaking butter in order to complete the removal of th e West from China. By 1964 China had exploded 'her first atomic devic" ; b ut in doing so, had alienated signJ'ficant power groups 'in P eki ng and outlying distri cts and provinces. In an attempt to regain control. Mao was forced to inject anti-western t'heology in the youth of China rather than invest ,in a program of consolidation of what China had earned since 1949. This policy has lead to a power struggle between the Red Guards, who are bent upon dives ting from China every thing that is even slightly tainted W es'te rn, and .('he experts, who are seeking a more practical approach to political and economic progress. As occurred in Russia in 1924 and 1953, Communism in China today is sh ifting to the right as the forces who control the apparatus become more conservative. In the final analysis, Mao Tsetung will be unabl e to survive the Cultural Revolution . The present two-China policy of the United States is impossible. Becoming more realistic, the U.S. is beginning to react more favorably towards granting Communist China a seat in the United Nations, a seat that she would probably refuse. The U.S. stand has seen China as the major aggressor nation in the Far East since World War II. The Johnson theory of the need to stop communism now in the jungles of Vietnam - the Domino theory - assumes that if the communists win in that country, they will shortly be in San Francisco. China 's outlook on expansion has always been consistent; it has been a backward motivation to regain what China controlled in pas t his'tory . Both Chiang Kai-shek and Mao T se-tung have maintained that •the Indian border belongs to China . But even though China does a lot of shouting, she remain s a country very cautious ,in military expansion. In the present conflict , the only reason for Chinese military intervention in the Viet Nam war 'to occur is if allied troops cross the seventeenth parallel and attack North Vietnam. ,Pres ident Johnson 's Ohina policy is based on a mi sguided program of per- whole in t he last semester. Opposing him is Wilmington Pines, better known as Zap, who successfully made a bid to move up a notc'h from last semester 's "vice" -presidency. Lengle's posters hit the campus first, proclaiming him as the higgest, and therl'fore the best ( crushing logic) candidate. Wilmington struck back by tearing all the "vices" off his posters, which he was care'ful to preserve from the last e'lection. Le ngle is standing on his record, which is prdbably screaming in agony right now. Wilmington is also standing on 'his record, which is very hard to find . Lengle likes to hit the caf-goers wifo snappy, one-line Ayers 'hot off the mimeograph machine, while Pines prefers 'the heartstring twanging approach by putting out paragraph upon paragrap1h of flowery prose te'lling us that he loves motherhood, virginity •a nd apple pie (not necessarily in ~hat order) . Both candidates agree Government was a hig semester, which comes as all freshmen, especially didn'lt even know it was that Student success last a suiiprise to those who there. I ipheral containment and isolation. Wh'ile the U.S. must have containment , jsolation of a coun'try larger than the U.S. with a population of some 750 million people, in an evergrowing smaller world, is ridiculous. A much more realistic answer to the problem was offered by General Jam es Gavin in a speech to Congress in 1965. W i th smaller forces and a larger nuclear deterren't , the U .S . could contain Chinese ex:pansion by drawing an invisible line and warning China if she crossed the line, that it would mean war with the U .S. Instead of maintaining a strategic sphere in Southeast Asia with 437,000 men in Vietnam and bases in Thailand, one ~haH of the present forc e in South Vietnam should be withdrawn and, in order to discourage Chinese expansion, enclaves, of troops and materials be scattered around the map of China. In a situation in which both major conflicting powers look upon each other as the aggressor, bdth wit'h valid claims, any escalation of the war by the one can only ,be met wi'th likeforce by the other. In conclusion, the history of China for the last one hundred years has been to consolidate the country into a "China for the Chinese". Under the leadership of Sun-Yart-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, and finally Mao Tse-tung, thi'S objective has been achieved. At the risk of a two fron't war, Russia and Chin·a on the nort'h and the United States versus China on the south, a more conservative growing China will 't ry to settle its disputes with Russia . And with a more realistic approach to our foreign policy, a de-escalation of the war in Vie't Nam will be possible. However, we should not think that the office df president is the one up for grabs. There are many •posts open to the enterprising power and fun seeker, but these are becoming harder to come by due to a trick ,cal1ed a " vote by acclamation. " There is a rumor -thait this is the way Hitler became chancellor. iette14J Organization meets at caf Dear Editor: It has been brought to my attention that many Wilkes students are annoyed that their Monday night facilities at t'he Commons are being monopolized by a certain group of "strangers. " Perhaps some df these feelings would disappear rf the students were aware of the identity of these "strangers. This group of peo ple is composed of both volunteers and members of a group known as Council House. Council House, which just celebrated its sixth birthda,y , is a welfare organization whose purpose 'i nvolves social rl'habilitation for those in the community who are in need of such a service. When Council House searched for a meeting place, the College was kind enough to donate the upper floor of the Commons for this pui,pose. The pt-ace is ideal for the size and nature of the organization . Council House is very grateful for ·the use of this meeting area, especially since the opening of the Commons for nighttime use by the students. Working as a volunteer for Council House, I can assure everyone of the worth of this organization . I feel very proud that Wilkes has had a hand in making 'this organization a success. Now that 'the students are aware of Council House, maylbe they will be more willing to sacrifice their Monday night use of our .facilities for such a worthwhile purpose . Joanne Skiba Donation Dear Editor: On Thursday, March 9, an elderly man walked into the Wilkes College Bookstore and inquired as to where he could make a donation to the Wilkes College Library Fund . I told him I would take the money and send it to the proper department. When I asked for his name , he said it wasn 't important, but that he wanted to give toward the Library Fund. He apologized for not being able to give more! I though't the students at W ·ilkes College would like to know that there are people who are willing to share, rich and poor alike, to further their education. Mildred A.

The Devel'opment Office, located on the ,third floor of Chase Hall , is he·aded by Mr. Walter Mohr. Mr. Mohr , a graduate of Bloomsburg Stalte College and a post-graduate at NYU and Bu,ckne!l, came to Wilkes in January , 1963. Of the position he says , "The work of a college development office entails all aspects of rhe future growth of that -i nstitution.

E'tPeeieAX£s AflE R.EtJ~W~T> Critic gets upset over spectators by Lorraine Sokash ,Words of love, jE.>alousy, hat red , lust, and envy were u'ttered by the Cue and Curtain players in their recent production of Shakespeare 's Othello. Set in 1604, t he play •presents the etemal conflict between man and evil. a conflict in which evil becomes so powel'ful that beau:ty and fidelity are trampled by the rushing chariot of hatred and suspicion. In t'he early scenE.>s, Othello is a man of great integrity, but being caught in Iago's web, he soon 'becomes a man dominated by hatred and suspicion. Edwin Manda, as Othello, excellently prE.>sented this trans ition . The tone of his rich, low, mellifluous voice expressed !the torment and anguish of Othello's soul when h e learned of Desdemona's infidelity and when he realized, although too late , her innocence. Manda 's voice notwit-hstanding, however, his speeches were at times hard to follow . This wa s prdba-bly due to his rolling together of syllables. But once one caught on to Manda 's delivery. his lines became clearer. Darlene Van Meter, as Desdemona, was outstanding. Her voice was clear; her beauty and fine acting contributed to her pedormance. Particularly well done was her performance in the willow scene; Mrs. V anMeter managed to project a pathetic and innocent girl marked for death by the machinations □□□oooooooooao□oa□ooooooo□CKJ□oooococooo□o□o□oo□o Shop At KAY REAGAN'S for Evening Gowns Cocktail Dresses Sportswear 215 South Franklin St. Corner of South St. oocatmoooooocooooooooooooooooaoo□□□□□□□□□□□Cl □□o□ of a villainous man. The villain, Iago, played by Jan Kubicki, exemplified the man who was beset wilth 'hatred and jealousy. "Honest Iago" whose motive at first was merely to humiliate Othello and to obtain Cassio's lieutenancy became so engulfed in his s cheme t'hat on one could escape his web of death . Ku bicki. in his final Cue 'n Curtain play, gave another very talented performance equal to, if not bet'ter, than his role as King Pellinore in Camelot. His acting was supe~b , especially in the scene where he convinced Othello of Desdemona"s infidelity . Roderilio, the man passed over by love but ~ccepted by evil, was played by the versatile James Gallagher, familiar to CPA audiences for bis performancs as Mordred in CAMELOT and as the suitor in Chekhov's MARRIAGE PROPOSAL. However, i1t was un1fortunate 'that the audience found Gallagher 's death 'humorous. Perhaps, a more polite audience wouldn 't 'have reacted this way at such a tragic moment , bu't perhaps, the actor 'failed to capture it'he emotional quality necessary for the scene. And Ted Levitsky, as Cassio, performed well a s the fighting and swooning lieutenant and lover of Bianca. However, at times his voice seemed to lack the proper emdtional tone. Emilia, played by Jean Kardos, acted and died well. H er gestures and expressions were excellent in the scene where Desdemona··s innocence was revealed. But a s w i,th Levi1rsky , her voice occasionally lacked l"mo'tion as she appeared to be just acting. Although the scene design, lighting, and players by themselves were good, the production as a whole lacked the necessary quality needed to make a great production, and this fact was noticeable in the general reaction of the audience. Shown above are those members going to the H:urisburg convention: regional secretary-treasurer, Maureen Savage; next year's corresponding secretary, Patricia Haydt; Marilyn Goodman, and Susan Jones, president-elect. by Carol Okrasinski The annual Student Pennsylvania State Education Association Convention is taking place today and tomorrow in Harr.isburg.

Residue ol soph awards revealed Editor's Note: Due to mistaken cutting of last week's article concerning sophomore awards of merit, certain aspects were given unintentional emphasis while others were completely ignored. We apologize and hereby print the remainder of the article which was inadvertently eliminated. Those memb ers of the sophomore class whose nam es were not included last week are: Joe W iendl , recognized for hi s foot ball and wrestling, was All MAC in his sophomore year and honorabl e men'tion for All State in wrestling.

Jim McCormick, of Hampton, N.J .. graduated 'from North HuntE.>rdon Regional High School. and lettered four years in wrestling. In college he took second p)a,c e in the MAC 'tourney in bdth 'his freshman and sophomore years. R ecognized for his achi evem ent in soccer was Jerry Yaremko of Bristol. Pa.

T ,he C enter for th e P erforming Arts will serve as a x is for the cul'tural section, in which the proposed art center and mu sic buildings will be located. There is no se t tim e for the reali zation of all those plans b ut c. 2000 A .O . is th e proposed completion date. T ,he realization of these plans depends on the College ·s a cquisition o f proper ty when it be-comes available. Mr. Mohr further s'tated that certain factors limit and influence just what shape this ins titution will take. Because Wilkes is a main -city College and property is scarce , the College will grow up with many-floored 'buildings rath er tha n with sprawling, single-storied edifices. Also, the Wilkes-Barre Zoning Commission has stopped any furth er improvemen't or development on South River Stree't from Parrish Hall to Northampton Street. In closing, Mr. Mohr sa id, "The success of any modern educationa l institution is actually in th e planning for the future. And we do plan for the eX'pansion of Wilkes. Bu t we are always conscious of maintaining a balance and s tability which will keep Wilkes a successful institution." Dear Editor: 'A few days back, I was a n eye witness to an unfortunate incident. I witnessed two young delinquents forcing their way into a person' s apartment with th e threat of a knife. I wanted 'to follow the juven-Hes, but 'the vi ctim and the other witnesses disapproved v ery vehemently; les t it " become a mountain out o f a molehill." Somehow I managed to take th e victim to the police sta tion to ma ke a complaint. To my utter shock, I was fal sely labeled as one of the culprits in ,the m'o rning newspaper . That was indeed a black mark on my character and reputation. At once some of my friends grumbled that I s hould have had enough sense than to have interfered in p eople's risky affairs. I was told that these "helpful hands" will bring nd thing but troubl es. If helping my fellow men protect their undeniable ri ghts w ill invite troub les, th en I welcome them. If ~hese troubles and inconveniences are going to prevent fur ther undesirabl e incidents, I shall gladly bear them and their consequences. B eing apathetic ma y save a few hours of inconven ience, but i't will ce rtainly not pay in <the long run . Today the victim was someone else; tomorrow he could be our own. Apathy will only increase suc h unfortunate in cidents and encourage the doers. As for me, I can never turn my back to the scene of such incidents. One may think 'that one bi,tter ex perien·ce w'ould "wise me up ," but such ex periences help make men out of boys. Some peopl e may readily embrace apathy. But I don 't want to see its ugly face , for I detest it. Since rely, Abdul L.

All the work will be original and will not have been exhibi'ted at previous W ·ilkes art fairs. Assisting as cochairman of the affair are Mike Grace and Pa't Passer. by Carol Okrasinski The College's music department in cooperation with the Madrigal Singers and Cue 'n Curtain will present the eighteenth century play , The Beggar's Opera. Richard Chapline, a member of the music faculty, is directing the burlesque ballad opera which will be staged tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 and Sunday evening at 8:30 at the Center for the Performing Arts. The play , written by John Gay wit•h music by Christopher Pepusch , satirizes the sanctimonious upper class of 'that time and mimics Italian opera which was imitated in London. It represents 1the music department's initial venture in'to the realm of opera. Gay 's operatic work served as the basis for The Threepenny Opera which recently enjoyed a long run on Broadway. The major character of the play is the highwayman hero, Captain Macheath, who is portrayed by Michael Staire. Macheath declared he could be so happy with either Polly Peachum, who is played by Carol Cronauer, or Lucy Lockit, who is played by Anita Humer. He is married to -the former, though he promised to marry the latter and wa-s assisted 'by her to escape from jail. Although Mac:heath engages in extra-marital affairs, Polly's love for him remains 'true . Peachum , Polly 's father, played by Basil Russin , is a harborer of thieves bu't is virtuous •in the midst of depravity. Outwardly he is a respectable man but he is actually a •fence for Machea'th 's gang, and later betrays Macheath to t·he police. Mac'heath is arrested, escapes, is captured again and is 'tried and sentenced to be hanged. Dennis English portrays Lu cy's father , Lockit, who is the inhuman jailor. At the end of the play Macheath is reprieved and swears that he will remain 't rue to Polly in the future . Other members of the cast arl' Elaine Weber as Mrs. Peachum, Elaine Krushi'fski as Diana Trapes, and Curtis Roberts as Filch. The women of the town are played by Joy Geida, Merrill Farrell, Pat Barrerra, Patti Lewis, Barbara Li'berasky, Arlene Mezanko, and Carol Sutton. The men of the town are portrayed by Roger Butler, William Harrison, Thomas Jones, Michael Lisho, Edward Lisko, Elliot Rosenbaum, Neil Rosenshein , Robert Smurlo, and Robert Sokoloski. In support Qf the satirical theme, sixty-nine songs were included in THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, all of which will be included in the College's pro, duction. The songs are of primary concern because they contain much of the play's satire. <Tickets are availabl e free of charge for students, faculty, office and maintence personnel at the Center for the Performing Arts. All other ticket~ are $1.50. SG holds final 1-neeting Student Government held 'its last meeting of the year this past Tuesday. The main topic under discussion was the election of nexl year 's officers. Joe Gatto was elected president unanimously . Because Gatto was the sole nominee for the office and representatives o'f all classes were present a't the meeting, the usual general election for SG president was not held. It was only necessary to have an election among the SG representatives. Paul Wender defeated Judy Simonson for the office of vice-president. Elected treasurer and corresponding secretary, by acclamation, were Tom Kelly and Sharon Daney, respectively. Jean Marie Chapasko was elected recording secretary. Joni Kirschenbaum introduced the point that elections by acclamation might not be too popular in the public eye. Carl Siracuse stated that most of the officers have aspired and worked for rhese positions and to sacrifice these -people to 'th e public was unnecessary . Joe Gatto then ·took over the meeting and asked for the support of SG members. He then outlined the duties of the newly elected officers. Gatto appoin'ted ,Judy Simonson , Tom Kelly and Carl Siracuse to initiate a constitutional revision committee. He requested that they work independently over the summer and then collaborate in the fall. More membtrs will be appointed 'to t·he committee at a later date. Parliamentarian Paul Wender requested 1that SG purc'h ase two cop•ies df Robert's Rules of Ord·er for SG use, one for the parliamentarian and one for the president. The motion was passed unanimously. Norman Kresge , president of the Young Republicans. asked for and was granted $80 for a convention in Harrisburg. Judy Simonson of the Council of Clulb Presidents asked for a $1 ,000 loan 'to 'be repaid at the end of next year. The money is to be used to su'bs•idize t wo concerts and barbecues next year. 1Judy Simonson raised the motion that the SG president 'be given a bank account of at least $100 to enable him to attend all College .functions. The mo'tion was unanimously passed. Alan Saidman pointed out that student governments on other campuses take an active part in voicing opinions on current affairs. He believes that next year the Col'lege's own SG. which he feels is be<:oming "bogged down 'by social events, .. should pass resolutions on such topics. He feel s that SG members have a right and a duty to comlba't student apathy in this way s•ince they are t'he elected repre sentatives of the student body. L·ast week SG sent telegrams to Sena't ors Hugh Scdtt and Josep'h Clark a·sking them to support the Tuition Tax Credi1t Legislation. The legislation is a move to grant a $350 tax credit to families who have dependents in college. This 'is a part of the Pennsylvania Master Plan for N.E.P .l.C. (private colleges of northeastern Pennsylvania) and Public Instruction. Ma'tt Fli'Ss reminds •all campus organization presidents that they must submit a listing of all club officers for next year to SG as soon as possible. The lists may be given to any SG member, dropped off at the SG offi•ce on 'the second floor of Chase Hall, or left in the SG box at 'the Bookstore. $5000 award to be given The Edward L.

Usually any criticism, justified or unjustified, reflects the reaction of certain elements to a policy or action of a government. Last week's editorial was a reaction to a situation of inaction on the part of Student Government, and it expressed a justifiable alternate to the present paucity of policy displayed by Student Government. But inaction is a charge necessitated only by a definite need for action. That the need for action exists can be displayed by the formation of organizations which also function to govern the student body. The Council of Club Presidents and the lnterdormitory Council with its separate governing structures for each dormitory set policy for large segments of the student body without any real responsibility to Student Government. We believe that an effective student government should function as an organ of central decision making on student policy. To relegate power to groups which are not franchised by a majority of the student body and who govern that same body is a violation of the democratic process as well as an indication of a laissez-faire Student Government. . Is our present Student Government a policy maker or an administrator. If Student Government is only responsible for the formulation of the social calendar, the handling of club monies, and the entrepreneur or barbecues, dances, and banquets, then a single administrator could be elected to fulfill this position within the guidelines of a set policy. But policy as law is a living thing and must constantly be reevaluated and often be revised. When a policy-making organization does not function as a vehicle of expression of ideas, a sterile situation develops which results in a government locked up in a prison of blind traditions. Now we are informed that Student Government has withdrawn into itself for the election of next year's president. This responsibility in recent years has been the responsibility of the student body; and in giving a reason for this change, Student Government has said that because only one candidate was nominated for the office, no election was necessary. It seems in light of this that either the student body has found in one person a complete expression of the beliefs of the student body in which case it suggests that they are unaware of "the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men." Also it could suggest that Student Government has lacked the power to reproduce capable offspring from which Student Government could choose a leader. This monarchical tendency of succession shows also a lack of student interest in their affairs. Students are responsible to their government as is their government responsible to its students. Is this college a society so united that it needs no vice offering re-evaluation and alternatives? Will the new president offer a dynamic force in student opinion or merely formulate a different set of dates for a year which will probably be identical to the ones that have been? If the student body wishes to form a vaccine for SG to fight its abolishment, it must be synthesized on the idea that student government begir, to assume its function as executor of the will of the student body. Administration is provided for by the College and Student Government should govern and serve the college in accordance with the designs of the college bulletin that the educated will participate "constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the college." It would not be possible for Student Government to fulfill this qualification without functioning as a sincere virile force in the student life. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN SPRING WEEKEND - Today and Tomorrow CINDERELLA BALL- Student Government- lrem Temple Country Club- Tonight, 9 p.m.-1 a.m. DRAMA - THE BAO SEED - Showcase Theatre, 39 N.

Rep defends stud'I Gov't Dear Editor: -As a member of Studen't Government, I welcome constru·c tive criticism, and I sympathize with your attitude of pragmatism ~ for SG is not a utopia by any means, However, after read'ing your recent editorial which blatently degraded SG, I decided to poin't ou't a few facts that you seemingly overlooked, Taken collectively, your suggestions would only trans'fer SG's power to the Council af Club Presidents. Let me point out what this might mean. I. The 'formation calendar: o•f the social You suggested that the Council of Club Presiden'ts assume this responsibility or appoint students to formulate the calendar. Under that system guess who would get prime dates for activi'ties. Right! 'f.he clubs whose presidents were on 't'he calendar ·commi't'tee. (You must realize 't hat this committee cannot consist of twenty 'to thirty bickering club <presidents.) So you really think they would strictly abstain from letting their unconscious bias direct them while constructing the calendar? In case you didn't know, the SG Calendar Committee uses a set of priori'ty rules (listed in the constitution) to prevent favori'tism while forming the calendar. 2. The duties of campus exchequer: 1So you really think that a group of commerce and finance majors would be representative af the studen't body? Have you heard of ·t:ihe "power of the purse?" He who controls the purse controls the policy. I'd certainly like 'to be a member of 'the Accounting Club i1f the purse strings were ·held by commerce and finance majors! G. Establishing social regulations and conduct: 11 wish to cite two examples where SG met its respons·lb ilities in this category. Do you remember way back in October when some vandals removed coats and purses from the dance in our gym 1 Wlho 't ook actions 'to set up FORUM With protesters to t'he morality and legality of the Vietnam war being ignored or mere.ly written-off as "peaceniks" and with every college man having to face ·the ultimate decision, the Beacon believes it is time to present an informed and responsible oppos'ing opinion. In answer to an antagonistic questioner, Sanford Gottlieb, the politicalaction director of SANE, spoke about the Vietnam war, as qumed in The Catholic Worker: "Now I happen to believe that Jesus Christ was the world's greatest revolutionary, because he loved his enemies, and commanded his followers to love their enemies. I believe this and, I try to live it, though I mysell am a Jew. My question, therefore, is: 'Do you believe it?' " This dilemma was enlarged and explained in the article "Can We Serve Both Love and War?" by Rev. Philip Berrigan, S.S.J. •Most Chl'is'tians and most Americans have grea.t difficulty in see'ing the I ( the seJif) as being also the we ('humanity). Consequently, we cannot feel the effects o'f our actions as other people >feel them, we cannot see ourselves as others see us. And so, by and large, we think we can have peace by fighting wars, we think we can rape a peop'le and have them .Jove us, we th'ink by way of practical norm , that we can have every.thing that wealth and arms can force from o'thers. Or nearly everything. Most children could tell us, I suppose (provided that they have not played with too many war toys or watched too many Westerns) that you can'!t have war and peace at once and that, g·iven ,the determination of the Vietnamese, you can 't have a truce in Vietnam and a base against Ohina. One or the other has to go. "To go a bit further "into the 'problem,' we cannot ravage the ecology of Vie'tnam and wi'II ten civilians for every soldier and expect to have anything but 'do or die' opposition. We cannot bomb North Vietnam and support U Thant's program for peace. We cannot replace Polaris with Poseidon and expect to avoid an armsrace es·calation into ABM systems. We cannot fight the abstraction of Communism 'by killing 't he men who believe in 'it. We cannot propagandize for -peace while our deeds give the lie to our words. In a word , we can't have it 'both ways. And that's why our friend, and so many Christians and Americans, have a 'problem.' How can we serve love and war? The fact is that we can't. "People have, I would say, two problems when they try to serve love. T~e first is to know themselves; the .II second is to know what they must be. As to the first, we are, in effect, a violent people and none of the mythological pablum fed us at Mother's knee, in the classroom or at Fourth of July celebrations can refute the charge. The evidence is too crushing, whether it be Hiroshima, or nuclear equivalents of seven tons of TNT for every person on this planet, or subhuman housing in the ghettoes of America. A substantial share of our troubles comes from what we own, and how we regard what we won. President Johnson told our troops: 'They (the rest of the world) want what we have and we're not going to give it to them!' To prevent them, one thing needs to be done: 'Bring home the coonskin and hang it on the wall.' "Ideologically, we are in Vietnam because of China; econom'i!ca'l,ly we are there because of wealth. Ideology has been tailored to flt economk aggrandizement. Scripture tells us that one must choose God or riches. This na'tion 'has overwhelmingly made its choi1ces, and i'ts riches. Our shr"inking world being what 'it is, we are now in the process of assuring the same status quo abroad as at home, and that means keeping the 'haves' on top and the 'have nots' on the bot-tom . Foreign policy is increasingly becom'ing indistinguishable from domestic policy. The curtain is no 'longer iron or bamboo or cotton, it is mostly dollar and to a lesser exten't ruble, franc and pound. Abroad, the 'have nots ' are two billion people, most af them brown, yellow, or black; at home, we have ,t hirtyfour rndlion poor people, fourteen million of whom are black. The arguments that we are in South Vietnam to insure the freedom of that people, lha't we are bombing the North to make a rising 'quotient of pain' the price of aggression in the South, that behind the National Liberation Front stands Hanoi and behind Hanoi Peking represents a degree o'f hypocrisy unmatched in history. They are pure Cold War rhetoric. The only present freedom we're fighting for is our own, and that is of questionable value , since ultimately it means the right to stay on tap of the ·anthill and fight off those crawling up the 'Slopes. "When a people arbitrarily decide that this planet and its riches are to be divided unequally among equals, and that the only criterion for the division is the amount of naked power at its disposal, diplomacy tends to be essentially military, truth tends to be fiction, and the world tends to become a zoo without benefit of cages, and war tends to be the ultimate rationality, because reason ltas been bankrupted of human alternatives.'' a coat checking system and set up regulations to enforce its efficiency? Could it have been SG? So you remember way back in March when someone at one of our dances was thrown to the floor and kicked in the face? Who took action 'to require that all clubs have a police officer present a't our dances? Could 'it have been SG? 4. Class officers to better represent the students: Does you·r suggestion mean the formulation of a "council of class officers?" I always thought that nine people ('class officers and Ave SG members could be'tter represen't several hundred students per class) fhan only four class officers. Maybe I'm wr9ng. 5. Existing groups of individuals io assume student governing more efficiendy: If the student body were to be governed by the separate, independent groups that you suggest (IDC, the Council of Club Presidents, and the class officers), do you realize the chaos, the confusion, and the rivalry 't hat would reign on our campus? There would be no central co-ordinator like SG. Since you like 'to quote Samuelson, re-read pages 25-27. He reminds us 'that, "'too many cooks spoil the soup." By all means continue to constructively criticize SG - I mean tha't sincerely - but please consider my argumen'ts if you re-evaluate the 'i deas expressed in your caustic editorial. Tom Kelly Soph. SG Rep. Heard from the Herd Gleaned from newspapers received by 'this office, the Beacon presents articles df interest to its readers. 1 From the Village Voice - "Anyone who sends a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Irwin Gooen, 724 East 27th Street, Brooklyn 10, will ge!t back picture pos't cards from different places around the country. First come, first served." (Wow!) From THE ITHACAN - (a la Al Capp) The wave of protest music seems to be breaking before the huge frigate bearing The Cross of Goldbullion. "Bob Dylan is a protes't singer. He sings o'f being down and out in t'he gutters of New York . . . bu't he had to leave the luxurious confines of the SAM house at the University of Min nesota to get there. "Joan Baez 'is another protest singer. She sings much the same 'type of song as Dylan - except she usually tacks some implication of sexual abuse on'to her songs. Now, whether Joan has been sexually abused is irrelevant. " Even Bitter-Bob seems to be Bopping Up his tunes and leaning toward fhe now-popular folk-rock sound, and Joanny B. in her own little non-conforming way is following suit." From The Temple University News - (You see, misery is universal.) "Metzger, while acknowledging that there is a parking problem , said, 'The parking situation could be alleviated if students used public 't ransportation or car pools. . . . Various surveys have been taken a-cross the country which show that the more parking you provide, the more people drive.' "Metzger does not drive.'

(Continued on page 3) �WILKES Friday, May 5, 1967 IRC airs views on Middle East 11he whole affair began when Nasser aided republican rebels whose aim was ,to overthrow the established monarchy. These rebels made a rather puny show o·f revolution and had to request aid from Nasser. He offered it, hoping no doubt that Yemen would become an Egypt'ian satellite. Apparently Nasser did not expect su·c h fierce resistance from ,the northern tribes, nor did 1he e~pect King Feisa,I of Saudi Arabia to support t'he royalists. ,T he irony of the entire Yemen s ituation 'lies in the fact that the republ1icans Nasser has been supporting have now rebelled against him . -Y:he close second previously mentioned, Aden, is a tiny British colony due .to become independent in 1968. Consequently every political faction in the country is try1ing to muster enough strength to fill the power vacuum which will follow British withdrawal. The strongest agitating group. the Fron't for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (F.L.O.S.Y.), is supported lby Nasser. This party periodically shoots at members of the Natlional Llber·ation Front who do not possess .the same sentiments of the South Arabian League. Unfortunately, all these dissident elements shoot at the British who are simply attempting to keep order in the crown colony. Further to the northwest, Nasser 's henchmen are still trying to overthrow the anti-Nasser king of Jordan , Kfog Hussein. Israel and Syria are still at bay and are continually raiding back and 'forth across the border. Should Nasser's ma clhinations succeed, should Nasser gain control of Yemen and Aden, the Red Sea will become Egypt's pond. And this control will have repercussions throughout the ent<ire world. Anxie!ty over the Middle East has continually plagued western Europe ever since its first interest in the region. This is due to the fact -that the Middle East 'is always in a state df Hux. !Presently, it would appear that :this boiling cauldron is lboiJ.ing more than in previous years. Instead of one or two belligerents cau•s ing trouble, as is generally the case, seven Middle Eastern nations are on the rampage. It ap pears that Egypt 'is the cause of the seething discon'tent and of the conflict or the confl!iots in the region. !The most troublesome boil in the region is •proba'bly Yemen, and Aden runs a dose second. President Nasser of Egypt has 47,000 troop·s in Yemen and they are 'fighting some fatigued but tenacious royalists who hold out in the mountains in the northern hal'f of the country. Because ,t he terrain is imip ossible to meet with adequately, the fighting has become an expensive stalemate. The war is costing Egypt $500,000 a day, and it has already cost Nasser 5,000 of :his best 'troops.

NORTHAMPTON STREET COLLEGE BEACON Ha1T1pton visits campus by Irene Norkaitis Last week twelve students from Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia, arrived on campus to complete phase two of the Hampton exchange program. ,T heir activities began with a dinner, a tea, and a private party . This was followed by a tour of Stegmaier Brewery and the campus, attendance of classes, and a Hampton dance. They were guests of Dr. Farley when he held a picnic in their honor at his &CARD by Helen Dugan Th1s is a saga of a pessimistic slob with a sadistic sense of •humor. This slob was, at the start of this year, a loving, sensitive individual who only thought good thoughts, attended all assembllies, patronized Beacon advertisers, and knew all the words to the alma mater. 'But then came the first marking period and a little ha-tred was mixed with tears and pink slips and was cultivated and nurtured through his daily walk from his parking place in West Scranton, more pink slips, recruiters in t he caf, the i'ibrary fund drive - to which he would have given if it hadn't been for t·he librarian burning his newly-finished 95-page term paper that he inadvertantly left on her desk when he was paying a two-cent fine, and finaUy, the distribution of standardized deficiency slips with his name already on them . All in all, our poor, unassuming piece of clay was molded into a fierce , destructive creature bent on the path of revenge. His pranks have been met with some distaste but his lates t craft is an unth'inka<ble, dastardly Hout to Wilkes and all its students. Our desp icable subject has now become the author of a booklet entitled: "Cinderella and other Student G-:ivernment Jdkes." The part of the booklet with which I'm now concerned consists of severa•I steps of how to eradicate tranquility and composure and bring out every one's inferiority complex , thus making the C inderella Ball a symbol of nervous frustration to be herea'fter avoided by a'll. The first step is guaranteed to shatter your date before the evening begins. One must appear one hour before his des ignated arriva,I and loudly comment on the fleeting time every five minutes bu•t also keep ment-ioning that it doesn't really matter if they're going ,to be late and not be able to get a tab.le. •T he second step is the receiving 'line that enmeshes at leas t one faculty member (if the 1line is long enough, maybe even two or three) and your already-jittery date.

The third and fourth steps are carried out on the dance floor . By this time one's date is usually ge.tting quite upset and 'i't isn''t too hard to gain people's attention. One is now supposed to stare at someone dancing near, preferably a guy and someone whose name you know, until 1he 'looks your way. You then nod to him, sort of grin and turning half way back to your date exclaim, "It's too bad they didn 't have Tom '·s size for his tuxedo, isn't it?" The fourth step consists of leaning towards the girl with the h igh, elaborate hair-do and quietly whispering, " My dt"ar, are you a.ware that your wig is slipping?" One then goes back to the faculty victims for the fif.th step. As a member of t'he faculty (or Administration, which ever you loathe more at the moment) passes your table you grab ·her hand and say , " Mrs. , I think it's great, your going so mod and daring . Imagine wearing that dress and those shoes together." The sixth step is very limited . It can only be carried out after convincing everyone that you are the perfect one to •c rown Cinderella. And as that g-lorious moment approaches and you are placing t·he glittering token on the radiant reci-pient's 'head , you suddenly start to visually shake (making everyone say how cute and meek you look) . You then fran'tically pin the crown so it hangs over the girl's hangs - which she didn't have when you started and congratulate her by sweeping her into your arms, !bending •her ·haH way to the floor and passionately caressing her with kisses. The excitement of this step can be heightened by announcing the name of 'the wrong girl. A supplement is added to the booklet as a novel pre-ball idea. If one has what used to be a close 'friend who goes away to "school (the farther the bet-ter) but with w'hom he has recently become disenchanted, this hardened author suggests that 'he ·invite 'him and his girl friend .to double with him for a real bash.

He should make 's ome excuse for not bein~ able 't o pi-c k them up and then he waits for their entrance to the ball.

Bob Thompson Beverly Crane Summer programs planned lor college by Judy Rock Pl 1ans are under way for three programs ( two of them are stiII tentative) wh'ich will begin at -the College this summer and extend to the following sc hool year. The public relations department has announced a Wilkes-Lehigh Cooperative Program in Graduate Education. In discussions between the Administrations of the two Institutions it hias been agreed ,that dur'ing this summer and fall. 'three Le'high courses in graduate education will be offered at this College by combined faculties . Each of these courses will be applicable for credit toward a master's degree at Lehigh. This summer a five-week course in directing dr1amatics for the high school stage will be offered at the College Fine Arts Center. The course will carry six credits •toward a master's degree at Lehigh. T •he course Is designed for hig'h school drama 'teachers to develop and supervise dramatic programs in the 'high school. During the I 967-68 college year, two courses in the founda'tions of education will be offered ,at the College ·in conjunction with Le'high. The first will be in the fall term and the second in tne spring •term. Each term will carry three credits which may be used. These new ·courses offered at the College will supplement ·the present graduate course in education for teachers offered at Wilkes by Temple University. The new gradu•a te program will give teachers in this reg-ion a greater oppol'tuni'ty to obtain a master's degree without leaving the area. ·Members of 'the education department are waiting for ,the final word on proposals for two programs which iare des igned to begin this summer. The first of these programs Is Project Upward Bound, whi-ch wiU be directed by Dr. Eugene L. Hammer. This six-week program will begin in the second term df the summer session. l't is designed especially for those high school students who have academic promise, but not the financial resources .to go to college. The aim of the project is . to give these students a desire to further their educa't'ion; it will provide them with the remedial iand developmental help needed. About fifty students. sophomores and juniors, from the county will be accepted into the program on recommendation from the'ir teachers, princ'ipals, and the like. They will live on the College campus for the six-week period and wiII receive individualized help in reading , composi'tion, math and sc'ience. Once a month during t!he I 967-68 school year, these students will be invited biaok to the College to attend a cultural event. It is hoped that the special ·a't'tention given to these youngsters wiU have some effect on the ir future plans. The second program will be directed by Mr. George Siles. Plans for th'is project were begun when The Institute for Be-tter Schools, Philadelphia, invited the College to par'tidpate in a program des•igned to pre.pare area (Continued on Page 6) Miss Eik!' has worked on the staff for th!' past ,thr!'e years, having served as a r!'porter in her freshman year. copy editor in her sophomor!' year, and editorial assistant thi s year.

To those of us oriented to a school calendar, the year prop• erly begins in September and ends now, and now is the time to celebrate, to plan, and especially to reflect. Upon reflection, we can say that it has not been a bad year altogether. The campus as a whole, although it maintained its usual quiet repose, was shaken by the Tangerine uproar and the rumblings caused by the proposed Honor System. The former, an upsetting incident for all concerned, resulted in the formulation of written policy concerning post-season games as well as other possibly controversial aspects of College affairs, and further embarrassing incidents of this type will probably not occur. We might conclude that the sensation caused originally was justified by the constructive action that resulted from it. Unhappily, however, the Honor System, which was carefully and thoughtfully researched, planned, and presented to the stu• dent body, was a colossal Hop and resulted in absolutely nothing. All of which seems to teach some kind of lesson about human nature, doesn't it? Student Government, which started the year dedicated to the cause of community service, met with sullen opposition on the part of the clubs it had planned to involve in its program. Where did the fault lie - in the apathy of the clubs or in the manner in which the program was presented? Opinion varies on this question, and we leave the answer to you. We merely wish to say that after this initial failure, SG should not have retreated as it did until a recent blast from the BEACON brought it to life again. Then again, perhaps the BEACON should not have waited so long to begin its campaign for an active SG. The BEACON, too, had its ups and downs, and we sincerely hope that next year's staff - ably headed by David Frey, Paula Eike, Carol Gass, Bruce Fritzges, Bob Thompson, Beverly Crane, Lorraine Sokash, and Chris Sulat will carry on our successes and take a lesson from our mistakes as part of the foundation for their newspaper. \NHAT • \NHERE • \NHEN GOLF - Wilkes vs. Albright- Home - Today DANCE - Psychology Club - Gym Tonight, 9-12 p.m. Alumni Recital - Gordon Roberts - CPA- Tonight, 8:30 p.m. BASEBALL - Wilkes vs. Dickinson - Away- Tomorrow TENNIS - Wilkes vs. Moravian - Away- Tomorrow CLASSES END FOR THE SEMESTER- Today COLLEGE BEACON Friday, May 12. 1967 t,ttu, t, ,Jit,,. Dev leaves with shantih Dear Editor: As my term of services as a visi'ting Fulbr,ight professor is about to expire, I deem it my pleasant duty and ,privilege to say a word of thanks and gratitude to teachers, students, and Administra·Non of WIikes for the kind cooperation and encouragement I received from them since my arrival here in the early hours of morning on September 19, 1966. lt ·is my first visit to this great country and I fervently hope it wi-11 not be my last. America [s a big country, a gigantic experiment in human welfare. h is indeed very difficult to be familiar with her complex technique of living within a short span of nine months. Even though cut off from my country, near and dear ones, Nme went a bit too fast and much •that I would certainly 'have done remains incomplete, though not undone, I suspect. It it indeed a pleasant, rewarding experience and 'i't ·has made 'life richer. I would like to underline and highlight the multi-national character of American nationalism and its emphasis on human values. The future of man lies, to my mind, in a broad-based humanist experiment of this pattern. Wilkes, I believe, is a pretty good academic experiment in international amity and cooperation. Teachers and students of various countries, from among various nations are working here together in full cooperation under the leaderschip of a dedicated educationalist like Dr. Farley. This is an example to imitate as well as emulate. I have been pretty busy intellectually these few months. Besides giv,ing lectures in the school on introdu·c tion to philosophy, logic, ancient and medieval philosophy ( including oriental philosophy), I gave ,two courses of lectures in the local Jewish Communiity Center, mostly on oriental philosophy. I read a paper, "Phi losophy and the Future of Man, " at a Wilkes faculty meeting. I am happy [t has been widely appreciated. I gave lectures at -the Universities of McGill, Toronto. and Pennsy,lvania and 1also contributed over 20 columns on philosophtcal topi-cs of general and practical interest to the Sunday Scranton Times. I gave several lectures on humanism and world brotherhood [n WilkesBarre and neighborhood. The response is highly encouraging. I 'have written a book, Budda the Humanist, and am lookling frantically for an American puibiisher. Dear Editor: As both president of Junius-IRC rand a member of the Council of Club Presidents, I support Student Government and its 'intended role at the College. Both edHorials and articles on Stu'dent Government poli-cy I have found to be emotional statements disregarding a constructive analysis of the situation. Disregarding all references to Samuelson or any other major text, rhe ills generated by both a lack of enthus-iasm by student leaders to take the anitiative and by caustic editorials in the Beacon offer neither a progress"ive Student Government nor a solution to an apatheticrarJ one. Until such a time that the student body and its government representatives are willing to suggest and put into effect constructive revisions in the written and unwritten codes of student act ivities, no person from the College com munity has the right to either critic'ize or praise Student Government.

Presently the SG constitution is vague and ·/ Picture shows Joe Gatto, newly elected president of SG. ambiguous. Non-functional committees such as the Court of Appeals will -be replaced by active committees. Definite stipula,tions will be made regarding the allotment of funds to various campus organizations. Definite criteria will be established concerning the recognition of a group as a club by SG. To achieve my goal of reconstruction. I have appointed a constitutional revision committee consisting of Judy Simonson , Tom Kelly . and Carl Siracuse. Secondly , I hope to improve the communication between dormitory s tudents and commuting students. I plan to appoint a committee of both dormitory students and commuter students to research this probl em. Presentl y. I feel a tangible solution to the problem would be rhe establishment of a .. - separate student union building . In a more vital way. greater communication among students . faculty and Administration must be achieved. Third, I propose a solution to the problem of student apathy through .the workings of a newly-formed organization - the Council of Club Presidents. r I would like to explain the actual purpose of this Council, since there seems to be much confusion among the students. The Council of Club Presidents was created by SG to coordinate club efforts. Since the Council is not financially independent, SG has extended a loan of $1 ,000 to help the Council initiate its programs. This loan was extended with the understanding that any profit made beyond the amount of the loan would be distributed among the Junius-I RC plans picnic A seminar for political science and history majors and their professors was held last Wednesday from 3 to 5 p .m. in Stark Hall. The principal speaker was Milosla v Chrobok, second secretary, Embassy of Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, Washington. D .C. His topic was the Czechoslovakian role in East-West politics. A question and answer period followed. •A picnic for junius-IRC members and their gut>sts will be held ..,n May 28, from 2 to 5 p .m. on Weckesser lawn. The event will take place rain or shine. Approxima·tely eighty members in the History I 02 course were successfully tu'tored during the past semester. This program will be extended next year to include tu'tors for students in Western Civilization and American His'tory courst's. clubs. By means of this Council, I hope to achieve greater student participation by offering: to the student a stronger sense of purpose and individuality through his club affiliation. Fourth, I plan to have two College concerts in the upcoming academic year. These concerts, featuring name groups, would provide additional social life but on a college level. These would bt> run in coordination with the Council of Club Presidents. Wilkes can and will be as active as any other college, but it has to be a joint effor,t. We, as SG, your elected representatives, can initiate these programs and supply tht' impetus, but Wt' need your support. Fifth, I will continue the communityoriented tu,torial program of my predecessor. Tlhis program involves the teaching of migrant workers ' children by volunteer collt>ge students. I feel this program was extremely benefic'ial and will be enlarged upon wherever possible. I will make an attempt to emphasize among Wilkes students a greater degree of community participation and exemplary behavior at community functions. Many students have expressed their discontent with SG. They feel that it is just a social directory. I cannot agree with this sentiment. As was previously mentioned, the Student Government of the College has undertaken community-oriented programs. In this manner, dorm students are given the opportunity to take part in the community which serves as their place of residence for four years. Commuting students are able to look up to the College with the pride and respect due an active community force which it has become. Sixth. I plan a re-evaluation of the Freshman Reading Program which would introduce the incoming freshmen to a program designed to provide more instantaneous commun'icaticins than books alone can supply. This instantaneous media would include such devices as films, sdections of poetry. and magazine articles . Finally, I wish to say that I can only supervise and represent SG. I cannot be SG. I need the support of the members of SG and they in the sam e way need y our support. Roses by Claire Sheridan The music department in conjunction with t'he Madrigal ·Singers and Cue 'n Curtain closed the dramatic season wi'th a strongly musical version of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. The satiric opera was produced and directed by Richard Chapline, with piano accompaniment by John Verbalis . Vt>rbalis' accompaniment se't the fine musical tone of the opera and carrit>d forward the perfect 'timing which was thl' hallmark of the performance. Essentially a satirt' of Italian bombastic opera , this production stressed the musiC'al aspee'ts of the play. With a minimum of dialogue, the songs carried the hilarious turn-about of middle-class morality and unexpected. homely, and of-ten base sentiments in ,n area usually reserved for the most esoteric emotions.

Michael Stair as Macheath entered with all the pomp and flourish of an opera prima donna. The operatic sa'tire was continued throughout by Stair with flights of voices and mugging at the audience in his " love " scenes. The broad satire o-f sentimentalism, opera, and English society wi'th its roles for wives and mistresses culminated with the contrived happy ending and the forsaking o'f Lucy Lockit for the wifely love of Polly by Macheath . Lockit, played by Dennis English . was convincing in his stage movemen'ts as well as his Cockney accent. Anita Humer played his daughter Lucy with all the wrath of a woman scorned. The scenes of the Locklt and Peachum families was ably supplemented by the supporting characters. which included Mahea'th 's gang of thieves and the Women of the Town .

Naturally , the poetry has to be read to get the full flavor of the blending of word, form and meaning. The prose of the Manuscript varies In his exposition, Mr. Ruckel levels tht' charge that. "poetry is dying because it isn't objective. It demonstrates no significant correlations with the scientific method . Its topics of lov e. hate. courage, fear. anger , forgiveness, life . and death cannot be measured accurately to the nearest micro-millimeter. " This is, he feels, the f;ult of a mechanized society , non -communicating and non-thinking. That this is in many cast's, especially in the area of mass media communication, true, but that this is meeting -a countercurrent of aesthetic endeavor in the area of communication is clearly seen in the work contributed to and accepted by the Manuscript. All in all, this reviewer feels that the presen'tation through song of John Gay's satire of eighteenth century morali-ty and foreign imports in the guise of culture was convincing and, most important, thoroughly entertaining. Eggs by Hazel Hulsizer l'he theatrical season at the College ended Sunday evening, May 7, with the music department in association with Cue 'n Curtain presenting John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. According to Miss Charlotte Lord's lively and informative playnotes, the opera satirizes high society by comparing it to the underworld. In fact. the songs of the opera contain the most biting satire as they harshly attack the ethics and attitudes of eighteenth century England. The opera, by its very nature , is a satirical attack on the Italian opera which had entered eighteenth century England and was at that time enjoying a great vogue. ·This reviewer feels that the musical aspects of the production were pt>rhaps its most outstanding part. The Madrigal Singers have fine voices and a joy of singing that is infectious. The play's outwardly respectable man of business. who happened to be a fence in reality, and ,a police informer, was Mr. Peachum. played by Basil Russin. (Note that the titles for the characters reflect C'.ay ·s punning sense of humor.) Mr. Russin 's performance was saved perhaps from dullness by the attractive wit inherent in his lines . Elaine Weber, as Mrs. Peachum. gave the most polished performance of 'thl' entire cast. The audience picked up visibly in th e scene where Mrs. Peachum hears of Polly's marriage to Macheath and takes a cordial or two to calm her nerves. Polly, the legitimate wife of Macheath , was performed well throughout the play by Carol Cronauer. Those who saw Camelot will remember her as the nymph Nimue . Miss Cronauer made a very pretty Polly, and •her steadfas t love for Macheath provided the basis for the tender moments of the play. Macheath, the lead er of the highwaymen and oth er rogues-about-town, turned out to be more baritone than actor-beggar. Michael Stair's mellow resonant voice fit into the part well: and although his acting was enthusias tic, it was not as good as those mentioned above. Lockit, the jailor , was played by Dennis English who was notable for his expert stage movement. On the other hand , Lockit's daughter Lucy, played by Anita Humer, wa s chiefly noted for the energe tic spitefulness with which she carried out her performance. The entrance of the women of the town provided a sparkling moment to the opera. Arlene Williams and Barbara Liberasky were conspicuously good ,a s they were at thl' finale when the entire cast sang the closing song . Although on the whole the production of The Beggar's Opera was an enjoyable evening of theater, this reviewer found it restrained rather than (Continued on Page 6) �Nol with a whimper bul a bang Battle Cries In rhe clear blue skies over Germany came a roiaring and a !thunder that's been never heard, like the screaming sounds of a big war bird (with the 1812 Overture as background music) .

Like biblical locusts and 'the medieval black ,plagues, the eager, smiling frosh (for at least 'the 'first ten minutes of their welcoming address at or-i entation, during which talk 'they were quickly alble to associate i't wi'th high school chapel programs and consequently !became the typical mindless drudges, 1the apathetic students of Wilkes) descended upon 'the campus and in'to the eager arms of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce.

Sour lemon, sour lime, sour tangerine. (To be sung and chewed at ca£ demonstrations.) Speaking of music. For one brief shining moment there was Camelot. Camelot! We know it sounds a bit bizarre, but in Camelot -that's how conditions are. (To be read with percepltion of the obvious symbolism.) This year's production in association with the Kiwanis Club was an enormou·s succe·ss both aes't hetically and financially. Maybe .this compliment doesn't !belong in a satiric revue, but we need something righ't about now for relief. The Chamber of Commerce was soon disenchanted with these new found ·customers, ·h owever. 11hey learned that most of the students bough't 'their clothes at Karp 's, named after the scrappy ( or is it crappy) game fish o-f 'the Susquehanna, instead of a't the more tasteful business district of Wilkes-Barre. It seems that the student body thought Karp's Anny-Navy Store had the latest in the militarymod or Red Guard look, so popular with today's wild things while the Wilkes-Barre stores had mistakenly bought large supplies of zoot suits and other ensembles recommended by Bob Cummings, Rod Cameron and Phyllis Diller. As we were saying before we ran off on this tangent concerning sartoria,l savoir-faire, the descending frosoh quickly found out about 'the sadisti-c tendencies of 'the upperclassmen during hazing. Even the Administration used 'their hob-nailed boots - usually made for walking (that's what Nancy says) - and recommended 'that they at-tend compulsory movie,s like "Advise and Consent."

There's a man with a whitewash brush over there, tellin' us we got to beware. Stop, children, what's that sound; everybody look what's going round. A new library, lunkhead.

Just think, lucky students, for three exciting hours you can choose among: A. 69, B. -69, C. 6.9, D. 9.6, E. a googol, F. none of these. The math department must have been spurred into such an innova'tion by its overwhelming desire to make just and t horough evaluations of its students' final examinations, g'iving the deserving little scholars every benefit of the doubt. lt unselnshly committed itself to the inordinately lengthy time required to grade this multiple choice exam. Stop and think how easy the job is for those do-nothing English, history, and political science teac'hers, when compared to the task set ahead for our devoted math department. Yes. students, we ·have much to be thankful for at our little institution of learn- ing. "Wilkes College-where students are our most important product ( provided that they don't inconvenience our teachers too much)."

After personally spending two years at a college athle tic factory on a basketball scholarship, I can attest to this fact. Spending five hours a night for five months out of the year practicing for an extracurricular activity is not conducive to participant support. If such were the case here at Wilkes, the athletes would be the first to complain rather than those connected with sports only as spectators. The past year as spo rts editor of the Beacon has not been an easy on e. T:here are times when the job has not satisfied the Administration, other times when it has not pleased the s tudents; but most of all, there were times when th e job done has not pleased the spo rts editor himself. We were fortunate, however, in being able to cover one of the most successful years in Wilkes· sports history. This success was not something that just " happened " this year. but instead was the result of long years of work by many people. Believe it or not, Dr. Fariey has been one of th e staunchest allies of rhe College Athletic Program. When the question came up at a meeting in the not too dista nt past as to whether the Colonel football team should follow the well-trod path of the King 's football team , it was Dr. Farley who insisted that instead of dissolving the team, it be made into something of which the College could be proud. D ean Ralston. the father of Wilkes athletics, cannot receive too much praise for the job he has done, especially in helping the individual athletes themselves. Athletic director, John Reese. also deserves his share of the laurels, although he , as usual, would probably take the pessim istic view. Th e ind ividual coaches cannot be accused of a lack of conscientiousness or desire regardless of their final wonloss record. Last, but most importantly, the athletes themselves deserve the most praise for their outstanding work this year. All this may sound pretty corny. and perhaps it is, but it is something that eve rybod y thinks and nobod y ever gets around to saying. Athletic Factory Much criticism has come up thi s past year over the fact that Wilkes has become an " athletic factory." As has been pointed out before, thi s charge is not tru e. and the bes t evidence that can be given to support this claim comes from the at hl etes th emselves. If Wilkes were an athkt ic factory , the first complaints wo uld have come Athlete of the Year •T his year's Athlete of the Year selection is unusual in that a sophomore has been chosen, but it is also unusual in that the voting for the award was unanimous among the sports s taff. Joe Wiendl was outstanding in three sports: football , wrestling, and baseball. His continued presence at the College, in itself, promises a continuance of fine Wilkes' teams. N ex t year the sports editorship will be taken over by Bob Thompson. Bdb has worked on the sports staff for two years and has done work for Wilkes ' sports publicity including working closely with the three local newspapers. the UPI and the AP. Bob is also manager of the basketball team and as such stays close to the workings of the team . He should do a good job nex t year and institute some changes for the better. When I look back on the Tangerine fiasco. I can only wish that things were done different ly. A policy and a committee have been set up ·to handl e things now, but now is just a little too !·ate, though I sincerely hope that the committee is given cause next season to be more than just a standby. As I look back on th e elated momen ts of triumph and the dark hours of defeat, I find it difficult to establish any rapport with those w ho can find nothing useful in sports. Surely the field of competition serves as a proving ground for a man who wou ld do well in later life. Th en too , there is always the hope th at the are na of s ports will so meday replace th e battlefield and the jungles of Vi et Nam as th e place where man's aggress ive instinc'ts are given vent. Perha ps this is an impossible dream. bu t th en. maybe it isn't. o□□ co□□□□ o□ ooo □□□□□□□ o □□□ a□□ o □□□ □ o □□ □ o □□□□□□o □ o □ CHARMS - :- C O LL E GE BE AC O N by Bob Thompson The annual Sports Banquet was held this past Wednesday in the College cafeteria.

The final award of the evening was a "Father of Athletics at Wilkes" presented to Dean Ralston for his years of su pport, encouragement, and devotion to athletics at the College. As Dr. Farley put it, "We almost caught him speechless for once." The Beacon would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the award winners and thank th em for helping to make th is the best year for sports in the history of th e College. • • • "A WORK OF REAL MERIT FINDS FAVOR AT LAST ."

The Lef termen 's Club is the oldest club at the College, founded in 1946. Its purpose is set forth in its motto, "Service above self." T ,he club is held in high regard by all members of the Administration and especially its advisor, Dean Ralston . Joe Wiendl - Athlete of the Year Beacon picks Wiendl Athlete of the Year In our October 28 issue in which we picked Joe Wiendl as our " Athlete of the W~ek, " we predicted that we would hear much more from the outs tanding sophomore this year. Wiendi sparkled the rest of the football seaso n. placed 2nd in the NCAA Tournam ent and has lead the baseball team in hitting and fielding. For these feats the Beacon has followed the general opi nion of the College athletic departmen t_Jn naming Joe our '" Athlete of the Year. · Wi endl is the College·s only threeletter man. In football he plays defensive half-back and a lso is th e team ·s punt-returner, a ve raging IO ya rds per return for the season. He intercepted five passes last season and was in s trumental in promoting the te-am·s fine defense. For his grid iron feat s. Wiendl was picked by the team as most va luable defensive back. H e was also named to the MAC Northern Di v ision all-star team . A s if that isn"t enough, Joe was on e of the outstanding members of the MAC cham pionship wrestling team here at the College. Wrestling at 152 pounds, he compiled a ten-one dual meet record, captured the MAC championship at that wei ght. and was runner-up in the NCAA Small College tournament. In basE.'ba ll Joe pla ys short- stop, but could probably pla y any pos ition on the field with as much success. He i; currently one of the most consis tent hitters on th e team. a nd w e feel that by the end of the season he could possibly be the team ·s most va luabl e player. Wiendl came to Wilkes from West field High School. W es tfi eld. New Jersey. where he participated in football . wrestling and baseball. He took the N ew Jersey State Championship in the 148 pound di v ision . He is a Business Administration major and is a resident of the New Men's Do rm .

XXVII, No. 1 Assembly meetings [allege cal lo loar lor year This semester a new assembly policy is being initiated at the Oillege. Four assemblies will replace the original weekly assemblies; these will be held on various Thursdays throughout the year at 11 a.m. in the gym. Two of these will be voluntary and two, compulsory. Students will be required to attend the opening Convocation, September 21 and the Christmas assembly, December H. The All-Oillege Pep Rally, September 28, and the Awards Assembly, May 16, will be voluntary. .Jn addition a series of concerts and lectures will be scheduled throughout the year at the Fine Arts Center. Most of these will be held on Thursdays at 11 a .m. and a few will be presented in the evenings. Admission is free. As an example, on November 30 at 8 p.m. the Kaleidoscope Players of New York City will present "Lost in the Stars," a Broadway ,play based on Peyton's Cry, the Beloved Oiuntry. The new structure of the assembly programs developed from a series of meetings held last year with the members of the student assembly committee suggested to the faculty members of the committe that the system of weekly assemblies did not achieve the purposes of the ,program. Through subsequent meetings between Dr. Farley and the faculty members of the committee: Dean Ralston, Dean Ahlborn, Mr. Gasbarro, Dr. Michelini, and Mr. Groh, the present assembly policy was evolved. Dean Ralston stated that he urges the students to support what he considered to be topHight cultural and educational attractions. Registrar B. H. Moses releases new schedule Registration for the upperclassmen takes ,place today in the gym beginning with registration for the seniors. B. Hopkins Moses, past president of Wyoming Seminary, has assumed the role of college registrar and will direct ·the und ertaking. Mr. Moses was appointed to the position this past summer and assumed his new duties B. Hopkins Moses, Registrar welcomes 600 frosh on August I. The new registrar feels that the structure of the registration program seems amazingly efficient when compared with the tedious registration at some of the larger universities. To relieve last fall 's conges tion caused by picture-taking for the stu• dent identification cards, several photograph ers will be available for today's registration. Upperclassmen are reminded that everyone is required to have his picture taken for the ID card to b e issued this year. The new ID cards will contain, instead of last year's library card number, the student 's student number which will function as his new library number as well as eventually assume the role of identifying the student in college affairs. A few new courses are offered this semester. The science department has instituted a new course to replace the geology courses offered in past years. The course, environmental science IO I. concerns itself with an introduction to the structure of man's environment and the problems man has caused in it. This timely course refl.ects the increasing awareness of the changing atmospheres in which we live. Also, the mathematics department is offering a course in computer science. This course, computer science 101. is an introduction to the functions and structures of computers, and the use of programming -l anguage, and problem solving. Basses To Upsala SG and IDC are organizing a chartered bus trip to the Upsala football game, September 23. This will be the College's first football game this season, and all students, faculty, and Wilkes rooters are encouraged to take advantage of this offer. The $6.50 cost includes round tript bus fare and ticket to the game. Reservaions may be made with Mr. Hoover's secretary, second floor, Weckesser Hall, until Wednesday, September 20. Make your reservation early and cheer the team on at Upsala. Over 600 freshmen gathered early this week in the Center for the Performing Arts to hear various speakers. In order to 'h elp the incoming freshmen adjust to the many facets of college !He, Student Government 'has organized ·the Freshmen Orientation Program. The ,program got underway with Dr. Farley's welcoming address to the parents on September 10. T h e theme of his address was the country's dependency upon education. Here, the college plays a major role for it must provide the students with an understanding of the threats imposed upon society and the promises that exist for society. The faculty will ·a id the students through their knowledge, experience, and understanding of life. Dr. Farley stressed the importance of a college education which will enable each student to better comprehend the dominant forces in today 's world. After the President's address, the parents attended con'ferences w ith Dean Ahlborn and Dean Ralston. A reception for parents and faculty was later held at Chase Lawn. On Sep tember 11 , t he freshmen began their initial phase of the orientation program. Opening remarks were made by John Wh itby, director of admissions. Dr. Michelini, dean of academ'ic affairs, welcomed the class of 1971. He emphasized the idea that t he students have a moral obligation to make the best use of -the talents and to take advantage of t'he opportunities open to them not only in the classroom hut also through extracurricular act ivities. George F . Ralston , dean of student affairs, explained .t he philosophy of the College. He stated that among the marks of an educated man is his ability to use language precisely. One of the supreme functions of the college is to develop a respect for the heritage of language. The thinking of the educated man should be based on facts. Man must seek the truth in order to gain understanding. He also stated that with education comes the responsibility to render service and to share in the world's work. John J. Chwalek, director of guidarrce and placement, told the freshmen that while in college, they must ·develop a philosophy or framework by which to guide their 'l ives. For a change df mood, Mike Clark, junior class president, introduced Lex Roma in first-place winner 'in the folk festival.

He has entered the College at a moment when the threat to the existence of the liberal education is imminent. In the Wilsonian concept, the college functioned as a "community of scholars" relying heavily on intra-communication between the faculty and students. But how applicable is Wilson's conception in light of the contrasts existing between his society and the contemporary one? Today, we are faced with a new scale of living in which the individual is a citizen of the world. The amount of knowledge has drastically expanded in this century, increasing the requirements demanded of the college student. This information explosion has caused the need for the specialist in all areas of education to the point that the world needs today the "speciality of generalism" so that mankind can cope with the problems of this complex society. During the next four years Wilkes College will strive to expand your consciousness in a way which will enable you to cope with the complexities described above. The College will require the student to take courses which will increase the student's interests in the fields of the arts, sciences, languages, humanities, and the social sciences. Complementing this, the student will be able to develop a major field of study designed not towards expertise, but toward giving the student the "tools" necessary to expand to the next level of his education. Combining these two aspects of his education, the graduate will be able to understand the specialities of the educated man in terms of the new scale and scope of contemporary society. This year's Freshman Reading Program included William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Henry Roth's Call It Sleep, and C. P. Snow's The Two Cultures; and a Second Look. These three books are the first phase of an experience which will characterize their college life. Under the direction of Studen't Government, the ,program has been initiated to help the students develop personal values t'hat will sustain them in the midst df the dramatic changes taking place in our society. It introduces the students to reading in depth in order to gain a deeper insight into the problems of man and society and enables them to accept the new and growing responsibilities for the strengthening df the community, the coun• try, and society. Roth's Call It Sleep is the story df a Jewish immigrant boy who perceives both the ugliness and beauty df the world as he goes through the process of growing up. Dr. Stanko Vujica, who wiU speak to ·the freshmen about the philosophical concerns of the book, gave ·his impressions in an earlier interview. Dr Vujica stated that he had to overcome the initial re- vulsion against the verbal filthiness of the book. He felt that the only justification is that the verbal vulgarity reinforces the brutal'ity and degradation of the slum environment. "Mr. Roth's East Side is one of the foulest pictures of slum childhood. But its real subject is not so the abominations in the street but the terror in the mind of a sensitive young boy." As David, the author's main character, leaves the comfort and security of his home and ventures into the streets, he is obsessed with a sense of sin, and he wishes to find a way of puri•fication. The crucial experience in the boy's li'fe occurs in the ·c heder when the rabbi reads the passage !from Isaiah 6: "I am a man of unclean lips and I dwelt in the midst of a pedpie of unclean lips." One of God's angels touches 'his lips with a live coal, and he is .cleansed. Th'is story excites David, and he begins to look for his own way of purification. The ex,periences which David has as a result of this crucial moment teac·h 'him the "beauty of a world that rema"ins unredeemed." Two Cultures; and a Second Look is an ex•position of the dangerous split between science and the humanities in The freshman should also understand two requisites for the successful completion of his educational experience. First, the student must become involved in the community of the college to the point of emersion. This will enable him to expose the various facets of the college environment. This College exists as a self-sufficient society reflecting in microcosm the values and ambitions of the world society. Although existing on a plane somewhat removed from the underlying problems of the world society, the college community affects and is affected by the larger society. The inquiring mind of the astute freshman should observe the academic, social, and psychological aspects of the college environment to develop an understanding of the society Advice to .freshmen is very plentifol to please his taste. The common purthis season, as in the past. The lucky ·pose, or reason for the club's existence, of the world. frosh are learning everyt'hing from ,can easily be found by reading the • advice Freshmen given • of clubs merits about The second necessity of the college student is to develop his ability to communicate in the context of the college community. The college strives to expand the student ability to communicate through its requirements in English composition, art and music, drama, and an understanding of the fundamentals of various fields. The ability to communicate in today's society precludes any discipline in the college. Without the tools of communication in today's varied media, expression, the ability of the individual to create a viable relationship to his society, is impossible. The accomplishment of proficient communication is the essence of your education.

Clubs whose ifunctlon is to regulate student activities or to provide information to the students wou'ld naturally make more constan't demands on the students' time.

Snow's book produced a Burry of controversy, and he was criticized for not offering enough evidence for his sweeping generalizations.

In addition to the reading of books, a film. ""'Lord of the Flies" will highlight ·the program.

Of the latter, there are 50 from Pennsylvania and 200 from out of state. Most of these are from the New York-New Jersey area with some coming from as far away as Florida.

The Colonels· defensive secondary is one of the 'best in the East. Jay Holliday, Joe Wiendl, Danny Malloy, and Mike Connolly have been together for the past two years. Last year the Colonels didn't allow the opposition one touchdown pass, quite an accomplis·hment in today 's college grid game when the pass is a major part of nearly every offensive attack. Another interesing note from last year's campaign was that in the second half of all the games the Colonels allowed only a meager total of two points. The Colonels offensive machine should be quite interesting with the appearance of two top-Hight quarterbacks, Rick Simonson -and Joe Zakowski. Simonson, who played •t wo years ago at Davidson, is an excellent field genera-I, very dangerous with <his short passes. Zakowski, -a southpaw hurler, will again be back to create a constant threat in any situation which may arise. He will be remembered last year for •his 80-yard last-second touchdown -pass against Lebanon Valley. Halfbacks who will be running out of the 'T' formation will be Doug Forde, Roger Beatty, Lee Namey, and freshman Dave Kaschak, a local AU-Scholastic. AU are quick, sturdy and Heetfooted. The Colonels' running game will definitely be a continued threat even with the loss of all-MAC backs Paul Purta and Ray Lowery. Vince Y armel is also being touted as the possible starting fuUback. The offensive line will again be fortified by veterans Mike Babuschak, George Conway, Bruce Comstock, Joe Roszko, and Angelo Loverro. All -a re lettermen and excellent blockers. Tim Stott has transferred, but a host of ·ca,paible freshmen are waiting for the position. Comstoclc and Roszko both gained recognition last year, as all MAC tackle and guard, respectively. Joe Skvarla closes out the forward line at split end. One of the finest ends in Wilkes history, he could break most of this year's existing pass receiving records. Barry Davenport, another surehanded receiver, should see a lot of action this year. Head Coach Roland Schmidt, now in his sixth year, is optimistic about the season, but 'he does not like to commit himself definitely. He stated that the team's spirit is the highest of any he has ·coached, and that all are only too willing to work hard. The team reported for the first day of practice on September 1 in the best physical shape that he 'h as seen in -his six coaching years. "There's not an ounce of fat on the team."

Knowledge "must be given greater meaning through broader experience and deeper understanding. To erase bigotry and prejudice man must seek to enlarge his knowledge and ex perience so that he may adhere to and support great ideals upon which any lasting civilization depends." But, he warns, that ideals "must never be used as an excuse to escape from reali'ty or reality as an excuse for abandoning ideals.

The ideas of the past must be examined and adapted to the needs of modern man. But he feels that man must work through already existing institutions in attempting to change society. These can be modified, but ·they must definitely be preserved. Man must make the best possible use of his ability to think. He must recognize the "forces in himself that bring about fear and mistrust in others. " Dr. Farley feels that man must create an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation. To aid in doing this he must continua1ly "examine his attitudes and b eliefs" and be aware of his biases and prejudices. Man must "nurture those inte1lectual and spiritual values upoa which human welfare is based ." These must also be used to guide scientific technology into constructive channels. He stated that man can use the ideas and institution of the past as "building !blocks" if they are seen in Dr. Mizianty's role in the program included a study of Habrobraron, a parasitic wasp, to discover the genetic effects the trip into space would have on the insects. to be practiced to insure the success of the experiment. The spacecraft was scheduled for launch on September 7, at 3 p.m. EDT, but delays occurred because the capsule's parachute was put in backwards and th e hydraulic system of the first stage booster malfunctioned. The errors were quickly corrected and the spacecraft was launched at 6:04 p.m. E.D.T. The flight was scheduled to last three days, but the threat of storms over the recovery area shortened the Hight to two days. The capsule was caught in midair somewhere near Hawaii.

Stark ( ret.), former chief of United States naval operations and Commander of European Naval Forces during World War II. is the ·honorary chairman of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. Admiral Stark entered the Naval Academy in 1899 and retired from active duty in 1946 after 47 years of duty. [ommunitv [ollege opening In September, 1966, the state board of education approved proposals by the Luzerne County Commissioners for a two-year institution to be called the Luzerne County Community College. The board of trustees was selected in November and in January, 1967, the board elected Dr. Guy V . Ferren as president of the new college. Since then applications have been pouring into the Community College, and as of this week approximately 600 students had been accepted for full--time study for the fall semes•ter beginning on October 2. This college is the ful6llment of the dreams of many people both within and outside the county, and it is rapidly rushing to 611 the vacuum in higher education which has existed in Wyoming Valley for many years. Finally there exists an institution to provide education for those who do not wish to spend four years in college, who cannot scholastically compete with the great number of applicants for four-year colleges, or who desire a one-year technical education. Tuition fees at the Community College are $150 per semester for any resident of Luzerne Coutny or for any Pennsylvania resident from an area with an established Community College, with approval of that College. The charge for a student from an area with an established Community College, without the aproval of that col- lege is $450. Tuition for a Pennsylvania resident from an area with no Community College is $300. The grading system is similar to that of our Co1lege, except that the letters "A" through "F" are used. Honor points are computed exactly the same. and students who earn a 4.0 are placed on the President's Honor Roll and those earning between 3.50 and 3.99 are named to the Dean's List. Any student earning below 2.0 is placed on probation and may not carry more than 12-semester ·h ours. At present the age range of most students is 19 to 21, but is is anticipated that, like other two-year institutions t,he trend will be toward an older, more mature student body. There is no co1lege-sponsored scholarship program now in progress, but the Community College does have a workstudy program. Courses offered at the Community College are divided into sections, according to the degree sought. The associate of arts offers a program in humanities and social science which includes such courses as English, history , a language, science, and several electives. The associate in science offers a program in science and mathematics, business administration, and general studies. The associate of applied science offers instruction in business education, drafting and design, electronics, and secretarial studies. Aside from the two - year program offered by the community co1lege , there is also a one-year program which offers a certificate of proficiency instead of a degree. The curricula for this program includes commercial art , hotel and restaurant management, and recreational leadership; and it is directed toward immediate employment rather than transfer to a fouryear institution. Intercollegiate basketball and baseball teams have been planned, and already over ten games have been scheduled for the basketball team, Included in their schedule are two games scheduled to be played at the Wilkes gym on January 11, and February 15, against our freshman team. Extra-curricular activities. a s i d e from interco1legiate sports, wil1 include intramural sports, a newspaper, yearbook, student handbook and literary publications, a st~dent government. and a large variety of clubs s imilar to those offered at W ilkes. - NOTICE- Send the BEACON home and let your families read the current· school news and activities.

The summer is over, the task of registration completed, the freshmen are welcomed, teachers are met, and the books are bought. The semester has begun with anticipation, resolve, and a touch of anxiety for all of us. We have been impressed that our education here is no longer a luxury for the fortunate but a necessity for everyone. Stopping to think of this burden may be enough to make one beat a retreat. A preoccupation with the myriad of problems facing the world can only lead the frustrated student over the brink. What is needed for today's student, above the discipline and organization required for college life, is a good sense of humor.

The Student Assembly Friday, September 22, 1967 BEACON A liberal education, as opposed to a vocational education, is designed to achieve NO practical purpose whatso-ever. It cannot, by definition, be concerned with t r ~ for an occupation or with the development of skills necessary for making a living.

Within this community the distinction between stu- Ari lilms present new techniques Dear Editor: 'J1he pdtential intellectual challenge of the academic year is indeed exciting to contemplate. In addition to the mental stimulation of the classroom, a variety of extra-curricular activities have been scheduled and proposed. Of special interest to the growing mind are those programs of the music department, the dramatic activities, directed by Mr. Groh, and the occasional Manuscript presentation. In faot, every department at the CoHege is working to present a broader variety of inlformation and experience to extend our (yours and mine) kn·owledge of our society and the world around us. A series of significant films has been proposed which would bring to our campus the best "classic," documentary, and avant-garde cinema. Maya The work done this past spring and summer to revise the structure of the assembly programs has produced a new program fundamentally different from anything tried before. The new program affords the student the responsibility to decide what opportunities he should take, instead of dictating to him selected programs he must attend. With the emphasis now on the student, the question arises as to his capabilities to accurately decide what cultural, intellectual, and social programs will improve his educational experience. The schedule of programs is still in the formative stages and we suggest that the students convey through the Beacon, the Student Government, or the as- Dear Editor: sembly committee, those speakers, artists, or celebrities they I would just like to make a few wish to have on campus.

When t'he doors opened, we infiltrated the ranks of the Student Government officers, who were there to prevent mass chaos, to find seats With our friends or, as t he turmoil grew, just to find seats. The before-speeches chit-chat was very interesting. We were competing with each other to see who held the -highest offices or the most positions in the old senior class. The majority of us found that those who held four or more positions of honor in their class were the most obnoxious and the ones to stay away from . Mr. Chwalek put everything in order and got us quiet. Mr. Whitby, whom most of us had previously come in contact with, made the opening address. He told us t hat in order to register we had to have yellow, blue, or pink receipts with us. There was an immediate uproar in the audience, since none of us ·had received them. Dr. Francis J. Michelini welcomed us to Wil'kes. He was followed ln qu'ick succession by Mr. Ralston and Mr. Wallison. At 12 o'clock we broke for lunch. This time. as students were leavin-g the b uilding, the conversation was sliqhtly different. "Mr. Ralston sounds Southern." " . . . so was Dr. Michelini, but Mr. Whitby . . . " Monday afternoon placement tests were administered in Stark and Parrish Halls. Those of us who didn't take them pitied those who did. Tuesday morning we were back on campus to meet with either Dean Ralston or Dean Ahlborn for the Deans' men and women conferences. Each dean gave us statistics - t-he number of students, what grades we need to pass each subject. and credit points needed to pass each year. Mrs. Ahlborn informed us about clothes - no mini-skirts. All of a sudden we were nonentities who had to start all over again. We suddenly began to realize that we have to start working if we want to achieve some measure of success. Only for some reason we sensed that ·this would be different - more individualistic. Not only had our egos been completely deffated, but no one p repared us for the next shock wave - registration. If someone had told me I was in the San 'Francisco Cow Palace, I would have believed him. By the time I finished , I fel1 like I had been through tryouts .for a cattle show. W ednesday began another day of orientation and meetings with our department heads. At 12 o'clock we President Concerned [Con'd. from page 1/ is this ·that may provide the most vital force for growth." "The effort to improve reality is perhaps the greatest challenge confronting our scientific-technological society," Dr. Farley stated. Modern man has been immensely successful in this effort. The difficulty arises when he must decide just how he is going to use his newly found power; to date no decisions have been made. "Man seems unready to make decisions that will humanize these forces. Long accepted ·h abits of thought and conduct must change if these forces are to be used for the benefit of mankind." Man must now finally consider the need for 'h uman qualities like compassion, consideration, love and gentleness. He states that "without these qualities man may lose himseM in the mechanistic world he has created." I was able to slip into my first class unscathed but for the minor repartee I had just experienced. Many of my other classmates weren't so fortunate. Stories of ridiculom; encounters with our "betters" cluttered our conversation. After class, a group of us who had nothing scheduled for the next two periods decided to discover a haven for cowering .freshmen. On the way we had to: "sizzle like bacon - sizzle, sizzle;" cluck and yell, 'Tm stupid," which sounded something like, "Cluck, cluck, I'm stupid." After cheering and singing about "drowning our sorrows" several mi-Ilion times, a couple of the braver frosh decided to "drown their sorrows" with a coke over at the Commons only to be diverted by more blood thirsty upperclassmen. At the end df only a few days of hazing, we learned two things: don't walk in big groups, walk in pairs or by yourseH; there is no such place as a haven for cowering freshmen. Call II Sleep lo be discussed by profs Up, Up, and Away! trooped to the gymnasium for our Freshman Luncheon. This was the first tim e we actually had an opportunity to meet each other, since we were pitted face -to-face, rather than side-1lyside, as for t'he speeches. As we sat observing each others' table manners, Dr. Farley spoke to us about "Wilkes, the friendly campus." That's when we began seriously trying to meet each other. For some s trange reason, the damper stiJ.I managed to do its damping as we hit the home stretch. Thursday morning, there we were, sitting side - 'by - side again, in the Presbyterian Church, listening to Joseph Gatto, Paul W ender, Michael Clark, and Dan Kopen telling us about the important role played by the Student Government and about hazing. In the afternoon we had a grand tour of the campus with our "big sisters" and "big brothers." Then the rush was on to see who could get to the bookstore first. The crowning glory of t'he week was our day at Dr. Farley 's farm . There we learned the class cheer, the drinking song, and the Alma Mater. It was then that we began to feel like one class, the Class of 71, rath er -than 'the individual member of the high school class of '67. We realized we'd have to be in soaring spirits by Monday i'f we were to survive a week and a half of hazing. W i th high spirits and a state of nervous anticipation, I arrived on campus wit,h two veterans Monday morning. I felt a bit conspicuous, but then what freshman doesn't with a dink, a pennant, and placards saying, "I am a Wilkes Frosh" advertising his presence. "Hey Frosh, I see you're protected by two upperclassmen." "Yeah." "Yes, what?" "Yes, Sir." This year, in cooperation wit-h Student Government, the English department will discuss Henry Roth's Call It Sleep in all freshman composition classes. Mr. Roth 's novel depicts the inspiring psychological experience of a young boy reared in the slums of New York City. Ea·ch instructor will deal With the novel in various ways, ranging from class discussion to a critical analysis of the student's conception of the book. By first discussi-ng and understanding the ideas .presented by the author, the student ·can then integrate them into his own approach to composition. In this way he can gain a deeper insight into the author's style and philosophical reffection as well as prepare himself for the individual discussion groups led by the upperclassmen. The d iscussi•o n of this book, scheduled for the week of Octdber 2, will provide a more personal basis on which to discuss this book as well as supply the student with a means by which he can identify himself in college life. In connection with the Freshman Read ing Program, the film "Lord of the Flies" was shown Tuesday evening in the Center for the Performing Arts. The film, introduced by Stanley S. Gutin, was attended by a large audience of upperclassmen and freshmen. • give future plons by Irene M. Norkaitis The Amoicola staff is busy making plans for this year's year book.

MILFORD, CONN. �Page4 THE BEACON Friday, September 22, 1967 Tea•s Begin Crown Defenses Wilkes Eleven Alumni Boolers Shul-oul Faces Upsala In First Game by Chuck Lengle by Chuck Lengle The Colonels of Wilkes College will begin their quest for a third straight Middle Atlantic Conference (Northern Division) football championship when they visit the Vikings of Upsala College, West Orange, New Jersey, tomorrow afternoon. The Vikings compiled a respectable 6-2 (won-lost) record in 1966 and rank highly with Delaware Valley and Juniata as contenders for the top spot in the division. Graduation hit the Vikings hard, and Coach John Hooper may be forced to use relatively untested personnel at several positions. Lost via graduation is quarterback Lou Checchetto who set several new school passing records last year. None of the quarterbacks tested thus far have displayed Checohetto's versatility and may prove to be a prdblem for Hooper's offense. Junior Howard Holloway, sophomores Bob Merck and John Keane are the to,p candidates to fill the position. The Vikings' ground game will be led by Richie Davis, a proven halfback of many skills, and Ken Severino an Ml East -halfback in 1966. The Vikings will run their offense either from a straight T or a (Banker) formation. Upsala will field a big team with 15 players topping the 200 pound mark. Tackles Steve Schneider and Bob Mutter,pel, both 225, and guards Sibby Sica, Pat Briante, and Sandy Leone will provide solid blocking up front. Coach Rollie Schmidt expects Upsala to unleash their passing attack which proved to be successful when the Vikings defeated tpe Colonels in 1965, 26-20. Wilkes' deep secondary (which did not allow a touchdown to be scored via the air route last year) of Joe Wiendl, Jay Holliday, and Danny Malloy should ,h ave a busy afternoon trying to contain Davis, Severino and company. Shown above are tri-captains Roadrunner Emerges by Bruce Fritzges "Road runner, a long-tailed desert bird of the southwestern United States, characterized by running swiftly instead of Hying; chaparral cock (or hen) : it is related to the cuckoo." (Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, 1964 edition.) Mr. We'bster may not know it, but the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Motor Corporation has produced a road runner o-f its own called, logically enough, the Road Runner. This car is not for the typical pink-cheeked, Brylcreamed, side-burned, street bopper, who would ra-ther advertise his horsepower and spend money on lots of Bashy Buck Rodgers-type trim; this car is for the performance car enthusiast who would rather speak softly and carry a big stick. In this respect the Road Runner is unique: it is a mature muscle-car, a Q-Ship type hot rod. For this reason, we have not shown the car, there is nothing to see on it. Both teams should rbe up for this opener for both schools. However, the Colonels will have added incentive because the Vikings will field basically the same team that inBicted Wilkes' lone defeat in the past two years.

Colonel Gridders Surprise Tigers Last Saturday night the football team returned home after a highly successful scrimmage with Princeton at Palmer Stadium. The two teams were evenly matched and performed well despite a constant downpour. Being a controlled scrimmage, both coaches stood behind the offensive lines to observe and instruct. Also, substitutes were used freely enabling the coaches to evaluate prospective starters. Princeton Coach Dick Coleman, complimented the team on their fine play and perfect execution of fundamentals. Hoping to come home with a vague idea of who would fill t'he open positions, Coach Srchmidt was left in more of a quandary as everyone performed better than expected. The first string defense was par,ticufarly outstanding against · Princeton's first string offense pointing to another good year. In a tightly contested game, the College's soccer team edged the alumni, 1-0, Saturday afternoon at Ralston Field. It was the varsity's third victory in t.he eight year history of the game. They also won last year's contest by a score df 3-1. Tri-Captain Rich Beck scored the only goal of the game at 6:43 of the second quarter. Dave Thomas arched an accurate pass to Beck 20 yards from the goal, and Beck smashed it past alumni goalie, Bob Ontko. Ontko spent a busy afternoon making quite a few spectacular saves which could have gone for goals. The , alumni were in excellent p·h ysical condition and gave the varsity a rough afternoon, particularly on offense. The varsity todk a total of 36 shots and would have scored more had they been able to capitalize on a few alumni miscues. Coach Jim Nedoff commented after the game that the team will definitely have to improve i•f last year's 10-2 record is to be duplicated. Joe Kiefer, Tom Rokita, Rich Beck and their coach, Jim Nedoff.

XXVII, No. 3 Library takes shape by Carol Okrasinski According to Walter Mohr, Director of Development, the College's $1,800,000 library, currently under construction, has a tentative date of completion scheduled for the spring of 1%8. The five-story structure located on the corner of South and Franklin Streets with entrance facing the Commons will have a maximum accommodation of 300,000 volumes, with adequate study areas for 600 students, fulfilling requirements for national accreditation. During the extensive campaign for additional funds needed to complete this construction, Miss Annette Evans, a member of the board of trustees of the College, explained: "A library is a collection of books, but it is also a place to house them. The one must be worthy of the other. For a library is the heart of a college, it is a center of learning. It is the storehouse from which good comes for the mind and spirit." By action of the board of trustees in the fall of 1966, it has been decided to name the edifice the Eugene Sheddon Farley Library. Attorney Charles Waller, chairman of the board of trustees, summed up the feeling of the trustees this way: "Dr. Farley 'h as been the very heart of Wilkes CoHege since its inception. In that a ·l rbrary is the academic heart of an educational institution, it seemed only fitting that the Wilkes library should carry the name of the man who has given so unseJ.fishly of himself to make Wilkes College the vibrant, living institution that it is." The architectural design has evolved into a modified Victorian style with exterior of WHliamsburg brick trimmed in limestone . The interior will be wall to wall carpeted; special lighting effects and air-conditioning will be used in order to supplement the sparsity of •window space. The electrically heated buiiding will have elevator service although not for student usage. Circulation desks and offices of the librarians will be located on the main Boor. The main and second Boors will have memorial rooms such as the Eleanor Coates Farley Memorial Room and rooms to contain the Admiral Stark collec'tion and the Gilbert McCl in tock coHection, both of whom were formerly chairmen of the board of the College. The Polish Room wiH also be located on one of these Boors. The second and third levels will contain faculty and student study areas and the graduate library which is now located in Stark Hal.J. The lower level will provide space for audio-visual studies and reference rooms. Library takes on Victorian look as building moves to June completion.

It seems inconceivable that the highly respected heads of W ilkes College, King's College, and College Misericordia could display provincialism that reeks of professional jealousy," and, "How they could justify the statement that a four-year college here consUtutes a threat to their respective institutions is beyond comprehension." That these respective institutions do regard the establishment of a fouryear college at Drums as dangerous to their existence is, however, a fact. Perhaps the perceived threat comes not from the creation of the college itself but from the probable decrease it would cause in state aid to the private institutions. During an interview on September 20, Dr. Eugene S. Farley explained that, to some degree, the area 's private institutions depend upon financial aid from the state to hel,p keep tuition costs as low as possible. H, without adequate planning, a new state-sponsored college were in- traduced into the county, taxes would eventually increase, or aid to the private colleges would eventually de crease. In any event, the .Jong range result seems to be an increased finan cial burden upon the state with a concomitant preference by students for the state-owned college. This movement could finally cause a serious loss in tuition income to the private colleges. In order to avoid an occurrence of this general nature, the leaders of independent colleges throughout the state have supported a State Council of Higher Education and encouraged adherence to its Master Plan which they hope will bring order to "the existing chaos in higher education." When asked to expound his views on the present Kis-Lyn situation, President Farley indicated that he would like to see a comprehensive educational development plan by the state carried through. Ribas given dodorate Jose Ribas, Spanish instructor at the College, received his doctorate this summer in Romance Philosophy. He was graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Madrid, Spain. J.t is more difficult to ·o btain the doctorate degree in Spain than in the United States. It was necessary for Dr. Ribas to de-fend his 513-page thesis before a panel of five professors, who questioned his work at a solemn ceremony. The title of Dr. Ribas' thesis is: "Stylistic Study of the Novel 'Fortunata y Jacinta,' by Benito Perez Galclos." In this work, Dr. Ribas shows th e relationship between form and theme of the novel. It is a realistic novel about the customs of Madrid in the second half o-f the nineteenth century. The author presents the figures of the novel in an objective way, which was a new technique for literature of that time. Like Balzac, Galdos parallels -life by using recurring characters. Because of his use of dreams and thoughts to develop his characters, he is sometimes referred to as a forerunner of James Joyce , English translations of Gald_os are available. His popularity in America may be due to his similarity to our people; he is liberal , progressive, and broad-minded. In fact , the best biography of Galdos was written by an American professor. Dr. Ribas will be teaching a course, "The Nineteenth Cen'tury Spanish Novel," where he will incorporate many of his ideas on Galdos learned through his extensive research. The permanent secretary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language was the doctor's supervisor. He is the most important linguist in Spain, and has lectured in the United States. He corresponded with Dr. Ribas during his research, and it was -he who suggested that the panel award him the citation of "summa cum laude." Dr. Ribas encourages students to work toward the doctorate degree. There is tremendous increase in -the number of graduate students obtaining master's degrees, making the importance of the doctorate even greater. �THE Page2 (t/it,,.i11/ Friday, September 29, 1967 BEACON /.ettt/'J t, tl,e et/it,,. The Need for Dialogue As the College moves headlong into another semester, the students and faculty have become concerned with certain problems confronting the development of curricular and extra-curricular activities. The Beacon asks that some dialogue be set up among the committees of the faculty, Administration, and Student Government to find the causes of concern and implement some action to facilitate solution. One of the most pressing concerns is the shortage of textbooks available to the student. What are the problems which have caused unnecessary delay in the development of course material? Is it not possible that a bookstore large enough to accommodate sufficient textbooks and supplies as well as supplementary materials for academic study be made available to the students and faculty? Is there not a revision necessary in the method of purchasing textbooks and supplies, and the procedures used to estimate the 11umber of books required for a course? The problem has caused serious delays, but we cannot delay in finding a solution. Concern has also been expressed through letters to this paper on the educational purposes and responsibilities of the College. The need for a dialogue in this critical area has also expressed itself in a recent faculty memorandum. The problem of financial responsibility and degree of specialization necessary to compete in contemporary society inhibit the effectiveness of the liberal education. Should not a constant discussion of the problems facing the educational structure be arranged between students and faculty to discuss this fundamental problem? The growth and change in the college have made necessary a revision in the student handbook. This orientation booklet serves as the student's initial introduction to campus life. The anachr~:misms and errors evident in this year's handbook fail to portray a balanced view of the College. It would seem appropriate that a study of the changes needed in the handbook should begin immediately to insure successful presentation next year. Recent restrictions on campus dress (no miniskirts) have caused some discussion as to the rights of the individual student. Psychologists have labeled clothing as being a means of self expression and since the college cultivates self expression, are these restrictions? Can fashion accepted by the society at large be restricted by a society encouraging the freedom of the individual? Does the individual dictate his own requirements for communication or are they dictated at the expense of the student? These concerns present before the student body and faculty limit the success of the college environmnt. We urge the responsible leaders of the College to begin the actions necessary to provide adequate study of these problems.

It is merely an outlet for essential "supplies" like loose-leaf paper, sweatshirts, and text. books, which are dispensed lfrom behind a counter in 'the manner of a grocery store rather than modern supermarket. There are no open racks of paperback books such as one finds in bookstores of quality colleges and universities throughout the country . Thus, there is no opportunity for the fine art of browsing. There is no opportunHy for a studen't's interest to be stimulated by a chance perusa-1 and purchase of a book in literature, philosophy, science, religion, etc., which lies outside his required reading lists, but which happens to catch his eye as he passes through the bookstore on the way to buy a textbook. This opport unity for the arousal and development of individual intellectual interests is vital in keeping the intellectual fires burning. lf " intellectual and spiritual va.Jues" are to be properly nurtured at Wilkes, we need a proper bookstore. One serious ,problem here is, admittedly, inadequate space. Not only does the physical plant which houses the bookstore now dispense textbooks and swea'tshirts; it also dispenses stamps and .faculty and student mail. The congestion is so great, especially now at the •beginning of a semester, that one blanches at the prospect of trying to "browse" among racks of paperbacks crowded between pencils and pennants. • Boyd casls aspersions on skits pornography by Boyd O'Prey First, we need a recognition from studen'ts, .faculty, and Administration that a quality liberal arts college demands a quality bookstore to foster creative intellectual growth. Then, we need a commitment to find the oncampus space essential for such a bookstore. The establishment of a quality bookstore, I would submit, should be given the same high priority at Wilkes as the establishment of a quality -library, quality classroom facilities, quality athletic teams, and a quality student body.

His premise is this: "Many alumni -feel that they are as much a part of the College as those right here on campus. It is my job to keep them informed as to what's going on here on campus. Out of their interest in the College they will, and do, contribute to the building fonds and scholarship campaigns. To me, contriibuting is their way df saying thank you for what was done for them when they were here." At present, the 5500 Wilkes Alumni are spread over the continental United States and several countries with a heavy concentration along the Eastern Coast. Many o'f the alumni are able to double or triple their donations through the Matc,hing Gift Program. vhis program consists of nearly a hundred companies who will match their employees' contributions to their alma maters. Some companies like Singer Manufacturing and Gulf Oil Corporation will match two to one. In the way of foture plans, Mr. Davenport hopes to reinstate the Alumni Seminars which were discontinued in 1965. These seminars are comprised of academic discussions between alumni and members of our faculty about the problems of presentday living situations. When asked to comment on his new position, Mr. Davenport said, 'Tm glad to be back at Wilkes." To use an old ,phrase in a novel situation, there have been "some thanges made" over the past summer. The Alumni Office along with the Development Office and the Public Relations Office have been moved to the third Boor of W eckesser Hall.

The soccer team began the year on a sour note with a 3-1 .Joss to Madison-POU and a 3-3 deadlock with Moravian. However, it should be remembered that these are the same two teams who inHicted the Colonels' only losses last year. .Jn Saturday's contest at Madison, the Colonels fell behind early and were unable to come back. Although Madison has one of the top small college squads in the East, composed mostly of foreign players, the Colonels were able to hold their own except for a ·few bad breaks. Madison scored early in the game when the wind carried back into the net a shot that goalie Tom Rokita had just blocked. Their second goal was also a Huke, the ball ricochetting off Ed Monda into the goal. Wilkes came back quickly with a goal by Joe Kiefer but was unable to turn the trick again. Both Ed Monda and Bill Downey were injured in the Madison game and wiB be out for several contests. Jerry Yaremko played an outstanding game at fullback. Scoring: Madison-POU: Hammond 2, Towey; Wilkes: Kiefer. Wilkes . . ... . ... 0 0 1 0-1 Madison-FDU ........ ..... .1 0 1 1-3 Tuesday, the Colonels came from behind, scoring two goals in the final period 'to tie Moravian, 3-3. Joe Kiefer put on a one-man scoring show in get- ting all three counters. :Wilkes garnered the early lead when Kiefer made a direct kick, after a penalty, with eight minutes to go in the second period. With two minutes to go in the second period Moravian scored when the ball bounced off Luzzi 's chest into the goal. Then early i·n the third quarter Moravian came back with two goals to go ahead 3-1. In the fourth period the Colonels came back to Hfe when Don Sprock lofted a kick in front of the goal. The Moravian goalie caught the ball. but Joe Kie'fer knocked it from his hands for the score. Then with only five minutes to go, Kiefer got a pass from Sprock, dri'bbled past two defenders and booted the ball past the goalie to kn-it thl" score. Neither team scored in the two fiveminute overtime ,periods and the final score was 3•3 · Dave Bugusko filled in well for the injured Monda, stopping many Greyhound drives. Roger Brewer, Curt Benson, and freshman Bill Murphy a.JI filled in well. Although they did well, it is possible that the mere presence o f M onda and D owney might have made the difference. Scoring: Moravian: Luzzi 2, Ryan: Wilkes: Kiefer 3. Wilkes ............0 0 2 0 0-3 Moravian ... .. ... .. 0 2 0 0 0-3 By George Pawlush Led by sophomore quarterback Joe Zakowski, the Wilkes Colonels lifted the lid on another grid season, scuttling the Upsala Vikings, 23-14, last Saturday at East Orange, N .J. The victory extended the Colonels' winning streak to 14. The Colonels wasted no time in scoring as Doug Forde fumbled the openi~g kickoff and then electrified fans by picking it up and romping 94 yards for the touchdown. Freshman Dave Kaschak then added the first of his three placements to give the Wilkesmen a 7-0 advantage. A few plays later the Colonels took possession of the football again as Howard Holloway, Vikings signal caller, attempted an aerial : but it was intercepted by an alert Joe Wiendl. The interception was the ninth of Wiendl' s career and tied him with Brinley Varchol for the team career record. Taking over on the 27, subsequent carries by Roger Beatty, John Jarvella, and Lee Namey brought the ball down to the Viking five . Executing a pel"fect boo·tleg on the next play, Zakowski rode home for the second Wilkes score. Kaschak's placement hit, and the Colonels' offensive machine aopeared headed .for a rousing scoring spree. Again Upsala put the baU in play a·fter the kickoff, but heads-up football gave the Colonels the ball again as John Howe jumped on a Viking fum ble. The Wilkesmen faltered on the ensuing drive as the determined Vik ing defense stopped the Colonels for the remainder of the half. Early in the vesper portion of the contest, Upsala coach inserted freshman quarterback John Boatti. Boatti appeared little less than sensational. completing ,passes to Richie Davis and Ken Severino to put the Vikings in scoring position on the Colonels' 13yard line. Davis is the same individual who two years ago put on a dazzling display of i,ass receiving in handing the Colonels their only defeat of the year. With the ball on the 13, Boatti Shown above is the action in the first half of the Moravian contest read the Wilkes defense perfectly as on Tuesday. Curt Benson stops a Greyhound attack while Jerry Yaremko he sped into the end zone to cut the Colonels' advantage to eight points. looks on. The placement attempt by Upsala was batted down by Joe Koterba, who led a tremendous rush from his de'fensive end position. Later in the same period, Athlete of the Week Generally, the linemen are the players on a football team .most likely to go unheeded. But this week the Beacon has chosen a seldom-noticed halfback for "Athlete of the Week." Selected as the grid season's initial A.0.W . is senior haJifiback Roger Beatty. Beatty, although appearing in every ball game for the past three years, was overshadowed by AU~MAC selections Paul Purta and Ray Lowery during the previous two seasons. Last year, on several occasions he kept many drives from being stalled by gaining the critical yardage needed on third-down situations. Beatty had another banner day last Saturday against Upsala, as he racked up 71 yards on 17 carries. He definitely should be a candidate for All-MAC honors when the grid season ends. The 5'10", 160-pound speedster is a native o·f Exeter where he starred on the high school grid team. At Wilkes he has earned three ·l etters on the gridiron.

An Upsala offensive back alertly fell on the ball , preventing a Colonel touchdown and just boosting the Colonels to an additional two points. the contest. Boatti hit Davis for the last score of the game. A two-point conversion attempt was good. Zakowski led the Colonel rushers with 81 yards, while Beatty drill ed out 71 yards on 17 carries. Zakowski and Rick Simonson clicked on four of nine passes for 69 yards. Midway -through the fourth period , Zakowski engineered a final drive. Using the talents of Beatty , Namey, and Jarvella, the sophomore sensation had a first down on the Vikings' four-yard line . For three plays the stubborn Vikings held on as the Colonels could only move as far as the one-foot line. Expecting a line smash , Zakowski caught the Upsala defense off guard as he fired a qui-ck pass to Barry Davenport, who was all alone in the end zone.

Pre-season .forecasts .had the Greyhounds picked to wind up in the second division of the coniference, but Coach Rocco Calvo and quarterback Jim Dietz seem to have ideas of their own. In Saturday's game. Dietz completed 18 passes of 33 attempts. which means the defensive secondary will again have a busy afternoon. The Greyhounds' ground attack gained but eleven yards against the Aggie line. Moravian will run their offense either from an "I'' formation with a flanker or a power "I." In any case, Dietz is the key to the Moravian offense. Coach Rollie Schmidt was especially ,pleased with the great number of enthusiastic fans who made the long trip to Upsa.Ja. According to Schmidt, this could ·have a definite bearing on the final score. However, there is one sad note to report 'from Saturday's decisive victory; safety Jay Holliday, a member of Wilkes' "stingy" threesome / along with Danny Malloy and Joe Wiendl). suffered a broken bone in •his right foot and will be out indefinite-ly. This will put pressure on the Colonels' superb defense. Returning letterman Gerry Moser wHI probably get the starting call and should prove to be more than adequate. The Colonels' running attack was 5imply devastating against the Vikings, and there is no reason to look for any change tomorrow a1fternoon . The Greyhound line was not thoroughly tested on Saturday because the Aggies put the ball in the air 34 times. However, Roger Beatty, Barry Davenport, Jack Jarvella, and company should be able to provide the Greyhound line with enough work. The backfield corps amassed 237 yards on the ground while Joe Zakowski and Rick Simonson connected on ,four out of nine passes for 69 yards via the air route . I doubt if Moravian will have enough to pull their second upset in as many Saturdays. The Colonels should be eager to prove their wares to the •home crowd and should knock the Greyhounds off their cloud. H the defensive secondary can hold their own, I see the Colonels' first shutout of the young season in the offing. Predicted score: Wilkes 28, Moravian 0. Ed.

XXVII, No. 4 Campas welcomes parents Viel Nam policies revie1Ved al healed BEACON debate The first in a series of Beacon debates was held on Monday, October 2, in Stark 116. The subject was the Vietnam War. Hawks, Harold Cox and Donald Tappa , were opposed by Owen Ireland and Tom Engel, who were disturbed over the historical aspects of the war. A moral argument against the war was presented by Roman Tymchyschyn while Tedj E . Hadj-Chikh expressed a sympathetic attitude towards ·the Vietcong. Before the overflowing crowd, each panel member, in a three to five minute summary, stated his position on the Vietnam issue. After the summaries, the panel members questioned each other as to certain effects caused by the war and the validity of observations made by fellow panel members. Finally, the discussion was opened to the audience who responded by asking the panel questions concerning the reasons for the war and the ,possible results of a withdrawal. They tried to commit the panel by suggesting some solution. The following is a transcript of the opening remarks of the panel members. David Frey: " .. . I'd like to welcome you . .. to Stark 116 for the first in a series of Beacon Debates. Tonight's debate is on Vietnam and we have six faculty members here from different fields and who display a very varied opinion on the subject. On my extreme right is Dr. Harold Cox of the History Department (laughter and applause). Next to him is Dr. Tappa of the Biology Department; Dr. Ireland also of the H istory Department; Tom Engle, a senior history major and ·president of Junius-1.R.C.; Roman Tymchyshyn of the Art Department; and Tedj Hadj-Chikh, a graduate student from Algeria. "I would like to start tonight's debate by first telling you the pattern of the debate. Each member of the panel will give a three to five minute explanation of his position on the war. After that, members of the panel will hand questions . . . to me which they would like to ask other members of the panel. After that we will throw the debate open to questions from the floor . So right now I would like to begin with Dr. Cox, who will give his position. Dr. Cox: '1 will be brief. It is, I assume, generally known on campus that if you use arbitrary terms, to refer to positions on the Vietnamese War, that I would fall into a category of a hawk's hawk. I prefer, quite frankly, not to use such terms, because I think there has been entirely too much indiscriminate verbiage used, particularly in the last couple of months, indeed in the last couple of weeks, to a point where the name-calling and the attempts of certain Republicans to gain political prominence in the United States, completely obscure the original issue. Rather than try to give any solution to the problem - I have none - or to even advocate how the war, which we are in at this time, can be won. "Since I don't really know, I will make three or four general observa- Rec room opens for oil by Sandra Vici The Student Recreation Room opened recently for day and dorm students of the College. It is located in the basement of the New Men's Dorm and can be entered either directly from the rear of the dorm or from the lounge behind the caf. It opens at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday through Thursday it closes at 11 p.m. while Friday and Saturday it is open until 2 a.m. The area is divided into three rooms. One contains a color TV and vending machines which will provide sandwi ches, hot and cold drinks, and other refreshments. The second room con- tains a variety of pin ball machines, and the third is a spacious wood panelled room equipped with pool and ping-pong tables, a color TV, juke box, and tables and chairs. This room is large enough for dances, · and overhead lighting has been installed for use by a band if desired. Games such as Scrabble and Parcheesi are also available, but a student must present his ID card to obtain one. The Administration, SG, IDC, and the CCP have worked diligently to provide an area where both day and dorm students can socialize. This facility is for all students and it is expected that students who use this area will take care of it properly. by Carol Okrasinski The Parents' Day Planning Committee headed by Joe Gatto, president of Student Government, and Bill Bush, president of Interdormitory Council, has announced that the fifth annual Fall Parents' Day will be held tomorrow. Letters of invitation have been sent to all parents. Registration will be held in the new dining hall from 9 to 11 a.m. All campus buildings will be open, guided tours will be available and parents will have an opportunity to visit with the faculty . At 10 a.m. the soccer team will play host to Dickinson at Ralston Field. At 11 a.m. seminars concerning academic studies, student activities, and related topics will be held. An informal buffet luncheon will be served at noon in the College gymnasium, at which time Dr. Farley will address the parents and friends. At 2 p.m. the football team will play host to Delaware Valley at Ralston Field. tions, which some of my colleagues here may wish to get me to elaborate on later in the proceedings.

I might say the President was elected by an overwhelming majority . He has available, even though I didn't vote for him (laughter), far more information concerning the relationship of this war to world affairs •in general and to the Vietnamese situation in particular, than I have. I do not act so presumptuously as to say either the President has been brainwashed, or that he is capable of brainwashing someone else. He has the information. Something like -40 million people voted to let him make the decisions. If they don't like it, I think they should at ·l east not try to undermine him until the election in 1968. The second point involves the question of security. This generally, involves a heated debate over the quest ion of the so-called "Domino Theory." I will say here, very briefly, that I don't know if all of Southeast Asia will fall if we pull out or not. I am not, however, willing to give it a try to find out.

In addition to a revision of Student Government's influence in extra-curricular activities, this undertaking presents an unlimited opportunity for studying the role of the student in the formulation of academic policy in today's college and discussing the right of the student to assume this responsibility. The right of the student to rule is disputed by arguments of this nature. Students lack the maturity and experience necessary for such responsibility. Since they have a short-term connection with the College, they have a corresponding loyalty. Students would be disinterested with what goes on at most faculty committee meetings and would have nothing to contribute to them. If the student can do a better job of teaching than the faculty, then he ought to be doing the teaching. Contrary to these arguments, the student does have a contribution to make to the college community. If participation in these activities is not granted , it is because of the apathy of the student or because the faculty and Administration do not want the conveniences of the present system disrupted. The present Student Government constitution, which makes no definite provision for the academic development of the stu dent, should be changed by the revision committee to provide communication within the College. This would create a tri-partite council of student, faculty, and Administration for the development of educational policy. The student would then be represented in an official instrument of educational policy.

This was quickly resolved, and for obvious reasons, in the former 's favor .

The students and teachers who came to see this discussion seem to have refuted the charge that this campus is nothing more than a large high school in its apathy towards world affairs. The debate was heated but not hostile and after the debate there was lively discussion going on among members of the audience as they discussed and defended their often diametrically opposed points of view. When such an intelligent and thoughtful discussion as the one held Monday can occur on the campus, it indicates that the student body has become active and is moving forward. The Beacon has long fought against Campus Apathy; this apathy may no longer exist. We may lose one of our pet topics, but we would like nothing better than that.

Pompously yours, Mr. O''Prey rresh•en allend reading classes by Oaudia Hoch As a part of the orientation program, freshmen are again participating in a book-reading project. This ,past summer the incoming freshmen read three works: Lord of the Flies by William Golding; Two Cultures1 and a Second Look by C. P. Snow; and Call It Sleep by Henry Roth. Once each week freshmen meet in individual groups, with an upperclassman presiding, in order -to discuss the readings. Joe Gatto, this year's chairman of the project, has expanded the program's purposes. The program provides an opportunity for incoming freshmen to begin the reading habit early and therefore to better ,prepare themselves for formal college curriculum. The selection of literature is designed -to stimulate thinking, motivate the examination and evaluation of one's own beliefs and develop a set of personal values. The student leader establishes an informal atmosphere and prompts the freshmen to feel free to offer opinions and to develop clarity of expression. Although it is too early to evaluate this year's entire program, one pur• J>011e has already been acoomplished; most freshmen have already read the boob. Unfortunately this aloae is not enough. The majority of freshmen have failed to see the importance of openly discussing and evaluating what they have read. However, these 6nt three weeks are their Brst initiation iii.to college life and this may account for some of the apparent indifference. The third week of the program will entail a discussion of the book Call It Sleep. The freshmen should have well formulated ideas concerning this book since it has been a topic for discussion as well as composition in the freshman composition classes. The book i1seH provides a wide range of ideas that deal with the psychological experiences of David Schear!, a young boy who is faced with growing up in the ugly world of the New York slums. The student discussants handle their classes in various ways. Some find it best to ask controversial questions in order to stimulate diverse opinions while others set up unapparent hypothetical theories to provoke student reaction. Each of the discussants deals with the books in the way he feels will be most beneficial to his respective class. Some of the discussants, who are from various fields of study, have seen room for improvement in certain aspects of the program. Miss Eastman feels that "the freshman would show more interest in a better selection of books; therefore, this year's freshman class should have a larger voice in next year's selection of books." From her sessions with freshmen, Miss Osborne feels the reaction of the .freshmen to this year's reading program is for the most part pitiful. There seems to be a general disinterest concerning the choice of books. Unfortunately, since no possible selection of books would ever satisfy students of such varied interest, the noble purpose of the program may never succeed. This year's selection of books was made by representatives of Student Government in conjunction with Eng. Iish department suggestions. The committee has attempted to include selections from diverse realms of thought, including philosophy, sociology, science, and contemporary literature. a coffee break is a fine one, shouldn 't this break come in the interval between screenings, when both aud iences could mingle, rather than in the middle of the film, as happened ( for some reason) last Friday? The days when reel breaks reftected film structure are long gone, after all. One real improve. ment over last year's programs should be mentioned: the houselights were cut, not just dimmed , as happened all too often in the past. A final (puzzled) query: It seems strange, doesn't it (sometime I'd like to ask the English department just how -to punctuate this one) that in a community of this size the three or four separate groups interested in the film aren't working together. Not only is it more than likely that there are things they could learn from each other, but in unity there is increased etc. Yours, etc. Roman Tymchyshyn Dept. of Fine Arts Presidents' council lacks consideration Dear Editor: I am dismayed by the seeming lack of consideration for the educational principles of the College approved by the recent action of the club presidents in planning and concluding arrangements for a forthcoming promotional event to be held on campus. Perhaps it has been proposed that this organization form a corporation; perhaps it has been recommended that this new organization each week promote for profit a current, popular singing group; perhaps it has been suggested that these conditions might bes-t serve the interests of the student body by providing a fund to eliminate tuition charges, erect a large music hall, and offer admission to Wilkes to the interested number of high school students attracted by such programs. H my sentiments are incompatible with the aims of the club presidents who represent the student organizations, perhaps it will also be suggested that my educational principles and those of the College are outmoded.

However, we made a grave error and failed to print the first paragraph of his letter. Since this paragraph has a definite effect on ·the whole tone of the letter, we have printed it below. We apologize for any inconvenience or embarrassment we may have inadvertently caused Dr. Perkus or the Bookstore. Dear Editor: Two articles in the September 22 Beacon comment on the need of a college to stimulate intellectual growth. Dr. Farley's speech stresses the role of education in nurturing "intellectual and spiritual values." ·Dr. Ireland's ,l etter insists that the "most precious gift which can be given by a liberal arts college" is "uninterrupted •time to read, to think, to talk, and to write . . . " Wilkes College, I believe, is making sincere efforts to provide various opportunities for intellectual growth. One area, however, in which I know that many members of the facul1y and student body agree that improvement is long and sadly overdue is in the quality and quantity of services offered by the College's bookstore. con printed a letter from Blood appeal slated soon The annual fall Blood Drive is scheduled for October 17, in the gym from 9:45 a .m. to 3:45 p.m. The goal is 500 pints of blood. Every individual and every organization should ·feel a responsibility to put forward his best efforts where human need is concerned. The drive will be organized on a dormitory and class basis. Students will be asked to make individual appointments to donate blood. In this each student can find a time convenient for him. No individual will be required to spend more than a half hour in giving blood. It has been that people do not give blood for various reasons: lack of concern, ,fear, and physical disability. 'For such a cause there is no excuse for simple negligence. There is also no reason to fear giving blood because the body will replenish the pint in a short time without any ill effects. Physical disability should be the only reason for not giving blood. With a student body of over 2,000 and a faculty of 130, it is felt that 500 pints can easily be obtained. Certainly one out of five ought to donate a pint of blood so those in need of a li-fegiving substance might be satisfied. -NOTICEA freshman class meeting will be held next Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the gym. The United Fund and Blood Drives will be discussed. All freshmen must attend. �Friday, October 6, 1967 THE Page 3 BEACON Sweeper Bill is Prof finds happy home campus favorite by Lynn Glomb Wilkes welcomes a new assistant professor in English, Dr. Gerald H . Perkus. He taught a course in fresh man composition this summer and is currently teaching Victorian poetry, world literature, and speech. Before he came to this college Dr. Perkus taught for three years at Babson Institute, a college of business administration in Wellesley, Massacusetts. He completed his undergraduate study at Brooklyn College in 1959 and was awarded a National Defense Act Fellowship to attain his doctorate from the University of Rochester. Dr. Perkus stated that he found Wilkes students interested in learning and more highly motivated than the business students he had taught previously. He was also impressed by his colleagues in the English department; the helpfulness and friendliness of these people helped him to adjust to his new position. He finds it refreshing to teach electives and finds that in these advanced Bill and his modified sweeper. courses, students show a willingness There is, of course, on every cam- this summer.

However. as Miss Marcks explained, in the United States such an exposure does not exist, and she wants her students to have the same chance to learn a foreign language through exposure as a European has. Miss Marcks chose to teach at the college level because she enjoys working with college students.

She chose Wilkes in particular because there is a mixed student body, the college is small, and the local area is not congested as New York City. issues but approved that the paper was taking a crusading position regarding important issues. He warned that a good school paper must remember not to take a negative attitude and to recognize the good aspects of school events. He was pleased to see the ad for the recent Vietnam debate, since he believes that college students should be involved in political issues. "This type of discussion is important in developing the student's critical ability, and it may eventually inHuence national policy. " Dr. Perkus is an advocate of independent research, especially in the humanities. He supports all movements the College is making toward having seminars in addition to lectures. At these informal sessions, students not only report on their work, but learn to evaluate it objectively. He is involved in research in Victorian poetry, and ·h e has submitted an article based on his thesis for publication. Dr. Perkus selected Wilkes because it is relatively small and offers more opportunity for general dialogue, a necessary element for education. "I find it a very stimulating place to be, " he said.

Two school records were broken in outstanding individual performances by Danny Malloy, who intercepted five of •M oravian's 40 pass attempts, and Joe Skvarla, who was on the receiving end of seven passes for a total of 90 yards. Malloy's feat broke the record for pass thefts in one game and puts him in a good position to break Brinley Varchol's season record of five interceptions. The Schmidtmen, now 15-0 over the past three years, took the opening kickoff and quickly marched to the Moravian three yard line where a fum ble halted the drive. The Colonels contracted '"fumbleitis" in the game. fumbling the ball on six different occasions. Three plays later, Malloy made the first of his record--breaking intercep, tions as he pilfered a Jim Dietz pass on the Greyhound 47 yard line. Joe Zakowski directed the Colonels to paydirt, plunging over from the one yard stripe on a keeper. Dave Kaschak made good on the PAT and the Colonels were out in front to stay 7-0. During the next Colonel series, Zakowski was injured on what appeared to be deliberate piling on by the Greyhounds. Zakowski was shaken up and Coach Schmidt inserted Joe Frappolli at quarterback. Rick Simonson, the other available QB, was playing defense in place of the injured Jay Ho!. liday. Frappolli, long considered a fine runner and a poor passer, quickly completed six of seven aerials for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Several of his completions to Skvarla were spectacular as the rangy end leaped high into the air to snare Frappolli's "interception-proof" passes. Frappolli's first TD pass was to Doug Forde from the four yard line with 12:54 left in the halt The PAT was wide to the right and the Colonels led 13-0. 1Minutes later, Malloy made his second theft, leaping high into the end zone to prevent a Moravian touchdown. After the Wilkes drive stalled, tMoravian started to move the ball but Ma 11 o y was ""Johnny-on-the-spot"' again and intercepted a Dietz pass on the Moravian 35. It seemed as if Malloy were the primary receiver in the pattern because Dietz threw the ball right to him. Again Frappoli went to the air and hit Skvarla in the end zone with 3:17 left in the half. Skvarla's catch was a leaping, one-hand job that would have made a professional proud. After Kaschak converted, the score read 20-0. Malloy intercepted the ball again at the midfield stripe before the half end, ed but the Colonels were unable to take advantage of it. This was Malloy's fourth interception of the game and broke the single-game record of three held jointly by Joe Wiendl and P. J. Kane. ·As well as the. Colonels played in the first half, the second half was a complete reversal. The offense was unable to put together any kind of a sustained drive as Coach Schmidt desperately groped for a successful combination. Wilkes opened the secondhalf scoring when Bill Layden and "Pepper" Merrill broke through the Greyhound line in a savage burst and nailed Dietz in the end zone for a safety. Coach Rocco Calvo's squad finally hit pay dirt with 3: 17 left in the third quarter when Dietz hit Hanker Roger Knisley from the five for the TD. Gary Hegel tackled Dietz before he could even set up for the PAT and the score remained 22-6. With 14:02 left in the game, Malloy picked off his fifth interception, this one from substitute quarterback Greg Sey,fert. On the next Greyhound series, P. J. Kane stopped a Moravian drive by intercepting a Seyfert pass on the Colonel 15. Hegel also got into the act when he intercepted a Seyfert pass later in the game. With 18 seconds remaining on the clock, Seyfert scored on a keeper which the Colonels violently protested. The Wilkes protest was based on the Athlete of the Week by George Pawlush On the strength of his record breaking performance against Moravian, junior safety Danny Malloy has been selected by the Beacon as Athlete of the Week. The Greyhound offensive aerial attack couldn't get very far off the ground last Saturday, as Malloy intercepted five of their passes. Four of these came in the first quarter and set up the three Colonel scores. The five interceptions shattered the previous mark of three that was shared by P. J. Kane and Joe Wiendl. Malloy also tied the season high of five, which was set last year by Brin Varchol. With six games to go he has a fine chance of eclipsing this record. Mal1oy has been a standout defensive secondary-player for the past two seasons. He was one of the major reasons for the Colonel pass defense which didn't yield one touchdown last year. A former West Side Catholic standout, Malloy was a three sport man in football, wrestling, and track. At Wilkes he lettered the past two years in football. Joe Zakowski jaunts in from the one, scoring Wilkes' first touchdown early in the first quarter after Joe Roszko and Ed Burke (71) opened a big hole in the Moravian line. fact that Sey,fert's head and not the ball crossed the end line. The officials ruled in favor of the Grey.hound touchdown and the gun sounded with the Colonels on top, 22-12. rrhe Moravian squad played a rough game, with the result that the Colonels sustained many injuries and the victory was a costly one for Coach Schmidt with the availability of a few starters in doubt for next week's contest. The Colonels entertain the Aggies of Delaware Valley this Saturday in a Parents' Day affair. The game should be a good one and will be crucial because both teams need a victory to remain in contention for the championship in the Northern Division.

Overall, the Colonels tomorrow a.fternoon at Ralston Field. Delval was considered a threat to unseat Wilkes as champ of the Northern Division in the Middle Atlantic Conference this year but was surprised by ·M oravian in their season's opener 28-21. Last Saturday the Aggies turned back Upsala by a lopsided score of 34-6, -holding the Vikings to minus 40 yards rushing. The Delval defense ranked first last year in ·the Northern Di v i s i on (Wilkes, a close second) allowing only 56.2 yards gained per game. The defensive platoon remains intact from last year when they put up a stubborn battle against Wilkes, losing 6-0. Four year starters Rich Kelly and Dennis Dobrowalski provide the nucleus o-f this platoon. The main thrust of the Aggies' offense is centered around the excellent quarterbacking of Ron Timko, a local standout from Plains. Also in the backfield with Timko are a pair of fine runners and pass receivers, sophomore Denny Shank and junior John Nice. The Aggies will operate from a protype offense and Timko will probably have the ball in the air most of the afternoon. The blocking up front is solid with returning lettermen Dick Kelly and John Duffy manning the tackle positions and Wayne tM ehalick over the ball. The Colonels won the first half of last week's encounter with Moravian however, the Colonels played another outstanding game (something the Wilkes fans are becoming accustomed to) and racked up their fifteenth consecutive voctory. Danny Malloy, Joe Frappolli, and Joe Skvarla shared individual honors in last week's contest. Malloy's five pass interceptions broke the Wilkes game record for pass thefts, which tied him with Brin Varchol .for the club's season record. Frappolli came off the bench in the second quarter and completed six of seven -passes and moved the team very well. "Skylark" shattered the Wilkes pass reception mark as he pulled in seven passes for 90 yards - all in the first half. Bill Staake also did a commendable job with his "golden toe." Staake had kicks travel 49 and 56 yards. He finished the afternoon just a fraction under 40 yards per kick. This is definitely a "must game" for both schools tomorrow a f t e r n o on . Delval must win to keep its chances alive for a Northern Division championship and the Colonels must win if they expect to repeat as champs for the third year in succession, The Colonel secondary will be faced with another afternoon of passes - something they have grown to expect in the past two weeks. If none of the injuries are serious, I see Wilkes winning a close game.

Solicitation cards have been made available to the freshman class by Paul Wender, freshman advisor and SG vice-president. ·The sophomore, junior, and senior classes are being solicited by their respective class officers and SG representatives. Gatto stated that those students who have not yet been contacted by their representatives should make every effort to contact some representative. Reports of on-the-spot contributions are made daily to SG. The names of all contributors and special contributors are pos·ted on the SG bulletin board. The campaign will end on Friday, October 20, and all solicitors are re- minded that they must have all pledge cards and money in by that time. Another community project which has received the personal attention of Dean George Ralston, and the students of the campus is the Red Cross blood drive. The goal is 500 pints, which is approximately 1/5 pint per student. The blood drive will be held on October 17 from 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and students are asked to reserve a time in advance. This blood drive offers each student a chance to help the community in a very tangible way at a very slight expense to himself. Most students are aware of the great debt the College owes to the community and are ready to accept responsibility for its repayment. In return for a pint of blood a student is assured that blood will be ready free of cost to him or any member of his family, any time in the future, for any length of time and for Pictured above are leaders in the campus United Fund campaign. Left to right, they are any number of pints of blood. Every Coach Ron Rainey, Mr. Arthur Hoover, Joseph Gatto, Paul Wender, Mr. Richard Raspen, Mr. student should realize the value of this Edward Wallison. type of insurance and be willing, if not eager, to give his blood for this dual purpose. Three one-acts offered next week The Center for the Performing Arts will be the setting for three one-act plays to be performed on Saturday, October 21, at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 22, at 2:30 and 8:30 p.m. All College personnel may receive one reserved ticket free of charge Additional tickets will be 50 cents each. The box office at the theater opened today at 9 a.m. and will be open until 5 p.m. throughout next week. Shown above are several members of Cue 'n Curtain, busy with the production of sets for upcoming one-act plays. Baiz, Levy exhibit pointing This week Conyngham Annex featured a collection of paintings by Elizabeth Baiz. The exhibit, on view through today, shows the artist's latest works in oils and acrylics. Mrs. Baiz has studied under the late Hans Hoffman, whose influence is apparent in a number of her works. "Ruins" exemplifies Hoffman's use of interacting rectangles of various colors. Her paintings utilize the opaque and transparent qualities of the acrylic medium. Outstanding in this respect is "Autumn Five," a hot-vibrant impasto. This painting invites the viewer to a tactile plus a visual experience because of the high mounds of paint. A number of Baiz's works are done on aluminum which can be sculpted to vary the otherwise flatly ,painted surface. Non-objective art, such as Baiz's, is not often exhibited in the Valley, and this outstanding show should be experienced. An exhibit of the drawings, paintings and prints of Mrs. Judith Spencer Levy will be presented by the College Art Department from October 15 to October 21. The opening reception will be held on October 15 at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Levy, who graduated from Pratt Institute and New York University where she received her B.S. and M.A. respectively, will present works in many different media: oil, serigraph, casein, acrylic polymer, and ink. Mrs. Levy's works are well known in art circles, and she is represented in many private collections. She has become affiliated with a number of small galleries on Long Island and in New York City. Mrs. Levy has exhrbted her work at the Corning Museum in Elmira and Ithaca College; a one-man showing of her paintings, graphics, and sculptures was held at Two Rivers Gallery, Binghamton, in the spring of 1966. Mrs. Levy has received many awards for her work. She received first prize in graphics at the Binghamton Outdoor Art Festival in 1967. She also received an honorable mention citation at a 1966 Fine Arts Exhibit at the Roberson Center for Arts and Sciences and was recipient of a purchase award from the 1966 regional show at the Everhart ,Museum in Scranton. In 1953 the artist was sent by the Board of Adult Education, under the sponsorship of the Experiment in International Living, as a "Goodwill Ambassador" to France. She recently completed illustrations for a pioneer college-credit course on the humanities which can be viewed on Channel 13. She is currently engaged in free lance activities. - N O T I C E - Tonight, the .freshman class will sponsor a United Fund Benefit Dance in the gym from 9 to 12 a.m. Proceeds from the dance will be given towards the College's goal of $2.500 for this year's UF drive.

Lady Gregory takes a satirical look at the people of her era, people who, except for their language and clothing, are familiar to us. Her satire is never biting in nature; rather it is of a chiding, subtle nature. Trouble begins when Jack Smith and Bartley have a heated discussion at the fair. Somehow a rumor spreads and by the end of the play, Smith has been arrested for the murder of Bartley, who also has been arrested, and both are placed in the same cell The play also pokes fun at the burea~cratic system of government and its minions. George S. Kaufman's Still Alarm is the first play, and includes a fivemember, all-male cast. The situation comedy centers around the blase reactions of the cast to a hotel fire in which they are embroiled. The cast includes Gene Santarelli as the visitor; Ted Levitsky as the hotel guest; Ed Liskey as the first fireman; and Jerry The cast for Spreading the News inBowers as the bellboy. The fifth part, cludes Robert Hartzel. Elaine Watson, the second fireman, has not yet been Roger Wilcox, Barry DeHaven, Frank cast. McCourt, Steve Alillson, Fay Stein, The second play, Spreading the Cecilia Rosen, Elliot Rosenbaum, and News, by Lady Gregory, was written Dennis English. Recollections from Childhood, a dramatization by Alfred S. Groh, director of the Center for the Performing Arts, is a dramatic sequence of poems which presents the responses of children to the imagination of play. The one-act, which was presented this summer in a workshop production, presents spontaneous dramatizations of the emotions of childhood through the use of poems. From the opening yearnings of a child to be sung to about the wonders of life, to the comedy of such poems as 'Tm a penguin, and you're out of luck; you can't be one because you're a duck," the play presents an intimate recollection of childhood experience. Recollections cast includes Alice Womack, Rosemary Haydock, Rita Singer, Ann Barnes, Hazel Hulsizer, Mary Carrano, Shirley Ellis, Doris Cresko, Linda Dickinson, Sheryl Palova, Carol Duncan, Charlotte Dinans, Barbara Gonzales, and Maureen McDade. In above picture are members of the cast of "Recollections of Childhood" in rehearsal. -NOTICE- Homecoming approaches Homecoming is two weeks away. This year, as in years past, the campus organizations, clubs and dorms are being asked to participate in the festival by erecting appropriate displays at various places around the campus. Each club will use its imagination in choosing a theme (-themes should reflect the integrity and reputation of the College). The only limit placed on the organizations and clubs is the $25 red line on total expendi- tures. Displays must 'be erected Friday a,f. ternoon and remain on location until Saturday evening. Judging will be done on Saturday and the winning display will be announced at the football game that afternoon. Competition has always been keen and all participants are urged to begin work immediately if not sooner. There will also be a trophy awarded to •the best-decorated car in the car caravan. A Faculty-Student Panel. in conjunction with the Freshman Reading Program, will be held on October 17 at 11 a.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. This panel discussion, which is mandatory for all .freshmen, will center on various interpretations of the books as viewed by faculty and students. The faculty discussants will be: Mrs. Anne Kish of the English Department and Dr. Owen D. Faut of the Chemistry Department. The student discussants will be Jay Ruckle and Thomas Giannini. �THE Page2 BEACON Friday, October 13, 1967 Cdit,,-ial The [nurse of Social Action The recent formation of the Social Actions Committee this semester is welcomed as a needed dimension in the College atmosphere. This committee plans to tackle the many problems confronting contemporary society. From the conflict in Vietn~m to the fundamental philosophic problems encountered by the individual, the committee will create a vehicle for constructive dialogue aimed at expanding the College's consciousness of the society at large and of itself. This new committee will fill the gap left by the now defunct Forum. The Forum, once a vital part of the campus, combined the informality of the kaffeeklatch, which was so conducive to discussion, with able participation of students from various disciplines leading discussion. The intellectual discussion provided by Forum is sadly missing and perhaps the Social Actions Committee will replace this needed element. There is one suggested action that the new committee might consider. In line with the liberal arts education which trains the whole man for life in the society, perhaps an interdisciplinary course concerning problems common to all areas of the academic society could be incorporated into the curriculum. Such a course could be of advantage to the freshman to acquaint him with the overriding theories which are intriguing the academic world. In the senior year such a course could serve to synthesize the intellectual experience and bring together the interdisciplinary challenges common to modern society. The scientific principles of genetics in the DNA theories, the philosophic principles in the Heisenberg theory, the sociological studies of man's nature in African Genesis, the studies of man's mind by Levi-Strauss, in the economic imperatives discussed by Galbraith in The New Industrial State and the message or massage of Marshall McLuhan would present an interesting reading list and a very electric climate for a thought-provoking course.

SUBSCRIPTION: $3.00 PER YEAR Grub's groans greet grievances ■ Dear Editor: With reference to ·Mr. Groh's letter of October 6, 1967, we wish to point out several facts that were apparently overlooked. 1. The Council of Club Presidents is a non-profit organization seeking to create a better college atmosphere through greater participation within the college and community. 2. As far as the concert is concerned, the Council of Club Presidents' aim is to provide a varied program of entertainment and recreation for our students and the members of the community, consisting of popular groups, dassical soloists, and talented performers. 3. It is to be pointed out that the director of Cue "n Curtain neglected to secure a calendar date by the appropriate deadline. In addition, it is difficult to assume the position of priority which the Fine Arts Program seems to be claiming over student-led, student..,financed programs. 4. If "The Marks of an Educated Man" declares that an educated man "participates constructively in ·the social, economic, and political life of the community," then it would appear that from last week's letter, the writer's educational principles are not in agreement with those of the College. It has a.Jways been our hope that we could cooperate with all members of the Administration, the faculty, and our fellow students. We do not wish to operate in a system of divergent interests; for the interest of all of us is Popeye pops up by Olive Brouhouski "Sure, I remember Popeye. In fact, know where ·he is today, but I suppose you want me to start at the beginning. I first met Popeye in the big 'City. I had just arrived there, hoping to obtain fame and fortune as a fashion model, when I was approached by this sailor who asked me for directions to the Thimble Theatre. Being new in New York myself, I told him I didn't know where it was, but I assumed that it must have been one of those Way off Broadway places at the other end of town. He •t hanked me and said we should 'get together,' both being strangers and all. Well, I may be from a small town and all that, but I wasn't naive. He wasn't angry when I turned down his suggestion, for I suppose that even in New York there are very few people named Oyle and I wouldn't be hard to find. "You know, his pictures don't do him justice. He may have been shorter than I was and his arms were a bit malformed but he had a very strong chin (he makes Kirk Douglas look like Andy Gump in this respect) and he had a great deal of animal magnetism. They say that from here to Hong Kong there is a string of broken hearts caused by Popeye. No girl can resist his advances when he is determined to have them. He makes Casanova look like a piker. "That same day I met Bluto. He was much larger than Popeye and had a short beard. I suppose he was more handsome than Popeye in the conventional sense of the word but he lacked that certain 00mph. It's true that he was more prone to getting physical with me than Popeye was, but then he was number two and tried harder. Still, I liked them both and saw a lot of them when they got shore leave from the Merchant Marine. Oh, I think it's time we cleared up the war record of these two fine men. In spite of what Drew Pearson said (and I won't repeat it, you can look it up in the Congressional Record) , these men joined the U.S. Navy and served together during World War II. After the war, they got honorable discharges and rejoined the Merchant Marine. "As I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself, I saw a lot of these boys and it was only a matter of time before I foll under the spell of Popeye. I can tell the whole truth about our affair now. I suppose you have all seen pictures of Popeye's nephews and my own nephew Sweet Pea and you may have guessed that they were not really nephews; they were our children. I can feel no hatred for Popeye. He offered to marry me, but I could see that he could never be truly happy unless he was near danger and action. The poor man really had no control over his actions in any case - it was discovered years later that spinach is one of the strongest aphrodisiacs ·k nown to man, dam juice being like mere water in comparison. Imagine, that man was on a constant high! In fact, he even smoked spinach - which does not cause cancer and has the effect of a sort of 'super banana peel' ( Village Voice please note). Besides his over-stimulated libido and occasional chlorophylled trips, the only ill-effects he suffered from his inordinate spinach consumption was an attack of acute rust after he spent the night in a rainstorm. The doctors worked feverishly over his prostrate form and were able to save him with injections of penetrating oil and Rustoleum. "After Popeye returned to the Merchant Marine he found that even this proved too dull after his experiences in the Second World War. He wandered around for a while, sending me letters and funds from various places. I have settled down with my wonderful husband who understands me and has forgiven me for my youthful indiscretions. He is an advertising man now and he commutes from our home in Chester, New Jersey, to his firm on Madison Avenue. "Just recently Popeye sent my husband a letter revealing his whereabouts and his new identity. He said that after the war he was fighting in was over we could reveal the story to the world. Here it is: Remember Israel's £nest hour, or was it that long? Well, perhaps you noticed ,t hat Moishe Dayan has an eyepatch and that the Arabs were routed in a very short time. Perhaps you have also noticed that great areas of the Negev have been turned over to spinach production. I think I don't have to go any further, for you see Moishe has an anchor tattoo on his rather strangely shaped forearm ... and to think that my husband, Bluto Brouhouski, can say that he served with Dayan on the same ship in the United States Navy." the attainment and use of knowledge, personal experiences, and friendship. Sincerely, Tom Engle and Judy Simonson c◊...chairmen Council of Club Presidents Dear Editon 1n regard to Mr. Groh's letter in last week's Beacon concerning the Council of Club Presidents' concert, it is evident that Mr. Groh is really dismayed by the rescheduling of the concert date to a weekend on which a Cue 'n Curtain production is scheduled. Student Government finds it necessary to release certain information concerning Cue 'n Curtain's calendar dates. In formulating this year's calendar, the calendar -committee discovered that no request had ·b een submitted by Cue 'n Curtain. We, therefore, contacted Mr. Groh personally. It seems that Cue 'n Curtain requested the October production for Homecoming. When notified of this conflict, Cue 'n Curtain requested the preceding weekend which was then approved. Needless to say, formation of the calendar was held up by Cue 'n Curtain's lack of consideration for other campus activities. It is not my intention or that of SG to slight Mr. Groh and Cue 'n Curtain in any way, for past productions can receive nothing but praise and admiration. It is, however, our intention to point out that Mr. Groh's remarks about the Council of Club Presidents were unwarranted. Sincerely, Student Government Calendar Committee Cad Siracuse, Chairman Dear Editor: Wheeeeeeeeee! (That's the "Hippiest" exclamation of my generation that I could think of.) The fantastic Box Tops and the incredible Eddie Day ('I've never been prone to excesses in my choice of adjectives) are actually coming to the College. The scope of such an event staggers the imagination. Though I must admit that my taste is more towards Peter Pumpkin and •his Polka Paraders (Perverts?), I'm nevertheless in debt to those whose taste has made this possible. I've smashed all of my P.D.Q. Bach records merely in anticipation of the event. All that quality entertainment by artists of known caliber (I've always been a little dbscure about the definition of the words "entertainment'' and "artist"), for only $3.501 There's not much that you can do nowadays with $3.50 except perhaps to buy some square records like Rudolph Serkin playing a concerto by that long-haired hippie Mozart ( with the Cleveland Orchestra). Or I suppose you can still get seventy rolls of Necco wafers for that same $3.50. S. Hurok THE ANTHROPOMORPHINES A patch of smoke slowly poked a spiral Out of the calm in the thick of the forest. Below, death-marked marauders crouched in Pine-needled pain - or was it peace?Chanting fervent calls for rain. Colors whirlywinded dreams to harms; Sense possessed no soul; Life redeemed no goal. The forest folded her light-laced arms With patterned poise. Running from witch noise, deep into the britches Of night and buttoned from shirt tails Of light, They were lashed to a stake, where a hellfire wails In great and noble purification. Laude. Laude. They have suffered well. A litany ,t hey mumble To numb the piece of pain they seek; The rites will strike up the strong And humble down the weak. In this burning their shadows did opiate the shrieking Hames Into the silent wood consumed. And the forest shook her mighty skirts, And then the fall resumed. by Anne Aimetti �Friday, October 13, 1967 THE S.G. makes revisions by Claudia Hoch A committee has recently been appointed to work toward the revision of the Constitution of the Student Body of the College. Although no definite action has been taken as yet, work is scheduled to begin soon after Homecoming. The committee which has been selected to participate in this endeavor is composed of four Student Government representatives: Carl Siracuse, Judy Simonson, Tom Kelly, and Katie Eastman. In a recent interview Miss Eastman has expressed her ideas on this matter from two viewpoints. First, as a memher of the Student Government organ- ization, Miss Eastman feels that the student body should re-evaluate SG as a whole in order to see if it is fulfilling its purposes. This is the main reason for the revision of the constitution. As a member of the student body for whom the ·constitution is being revised, Miss Eastman recognizes a main criticism of the present constitution, that concerning the clarity and the reasoning 'behind some of the statements made in it. Presently many of the stated ideas do not lend ·themselves to adherence. In the future constitution it is hoped that these ideas can be carried out to the fullest extent, thereby giving Coffeehouse holds "hoot," shows documentary film On Wednesday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. the College Coffeehouse will present an "Evening of 'Folk Music." The music will be presented entirely by students of the College. Tom Moretta and Dennis Jones will sing and play Bob Dylan's "Dreams." Numbers will also be played by Carrol Cobbs and Clark Bromfield. The program will be held in St. Stephen's Parish House; admission is 50 cents.

The American Documentary Film Association's "Sons and Daughters" may be shown at the end of October or at a later date. The theme of the film, which has been described as one of the most excellent documentaries available, is a protest of war. It opens with shots of the Berkeley riots of 1965, and through a series of contrasts shows soldiers training on an army base, and scenes from Vietnam and N u re m b e r g . Through the entire film contemporary songs of protest can be heard. The first of four Bergman films, "The Silence," has been shown; the Coffeehouse enjoyed a good attendance for this film.

CITY SHOE REPAIR • • • "-• "•o Page 3 BEACON the constitution a more meaning.fol interpretation. This clarity includes an understanding of the structural outline of SG. In Article Il, Section IV of the constitution it states one of the goals to be "to supplement educational purposes of the school through discussions, seminars, and appropriate action." For this idea to be realized it must be carried out. Under the future constitution this goal will be realized since it will be phrased in such a manner that it will leave no doubt as to the meaning behind such a statement. Article VII mentions a Court of Appeals. Although it is necessary to have such a court, it is presently inactive. In the .future constitution it is hoped that this court will be given new or additional duties in order that it can remain as an active group. Incorporated into this constitution will be action which will hopefully encourage student participation. At present SG is composed of various standing committees made up of one or two of its own me·mbers. It is planned that under the future constitution a SG com!Jlittee chairman will choose four or five people from the student body to aid these standing committees by submitting reports at SG meetings. In this way the student will really have a say in •his government. There are also ,p lans being made in the near future for a constitutional delegation. This delegation will be comprised of four or Ave members from each class who will be chosen by members of the class executive council. These students will aid the original committee members in revising this constitution, thereby giving the student body the greatest say in deciding the functions and purposes of their government.

She described it as a non-industrialized area with a popula,tion of 50,000 to 60,000. The Phillipines is composed of a group of 7,000 islands; Ilo-lllo City is on the central island. Having gained many friends while she lived there, she had a chance to visit them. This also enabled Miss Olson to enjoy the Phillipines from more than a tourist's standpoint. The Peace Corps is very active in the Phillipines. When asked to give her personal views of the work being done there, she said ,t hat the Corp is no doubt doing very much on the islands, but much could be done to improve the ,program. She also stated that in looking back on her experiences, she was most impressed by the ,friendliness, kindness, and unselfishness of the Orientals.

She traveled for six months through Okinawa, Tapai, and the ,Phillipines doing informal research. Upon her return, she taught sociology for two semesters at American International College in Springfield Massachusetts. Miss Olson is satisified to be back at the College, and much surprised at its expansion and the changes that have occured in her absence. -NOTICEDue to an error in listing of the Spring semester Dean's List the following names were omitted from ·t he list which appeared in last week's issue: Rosalie Susan Lonkoski, 3.58, B.S. in physics; Joyce Marie Nahas, 3.49, A B. in English; David Allen Thomas: 3.60, A.B. in psychology. * * * • * From the Beacon of November 12, 1948 Twenty fortunate people are ready to go to Cuba for the Christmas holidays.

The Colonels opened up the scoring during the second period. John Santo received credit .for the goal as the ball glanced off his leg after a booming shot by Jim Kennedy. Two minutes later the Colonels scored again as Rich Beck assisted John Santo crossing in front of the goal. The Red Devils, however, did not falter and were able to score before halftime. Lee Keller lined a perfect shot passed Tom Rokita. Early in the .fourth period the Colonels were -the targets of an unfortunate break. Goalie Tom Rokita fell after being kicked in the leg acciden-tly, leaving an open net for Lee Keller who scored the equalizer. The two overtime periods saw an equally contested defensive struggle while no scoring was involved. As in the Upsala game the Colonels managed 51 shots-on-goal to the Red Devils 23. The Colonels instituted a third fullback to try to improve its defense against Dickinson. Even with this attack it appears the Colonels sorely need Ed Manda if it wants a well-rounded defense to coincide with its blistering offensive attack. The Colonels are guests of the Lycoming Warriors tomorow at 10:30 a.m. Scoring: Wilkes: Santo 2; Dickinson: Keller 2 Dickinson O 1 0 1· 0 0-2 Wilkes .. . .. . .. 0 2 0 0 0 0-2 Rich Simonson, first of three Colonel quarterbacks, probably wishes he'd stayed on defense as an avalanche of Aggies falls on him.

With a second down and 26 almost spelled curtains for the Colonels, Joe Wiendl did the almost unbelievable by picking up a Delaware Valley punt late in the fourth quarter and then scampering 69 yards, thus obtaining the winning score. The 14-13 victory over the Aggies before a delighted Parents' Day crowd was the sixteenth straight for the Wilkesmen. 'Both teams played nip and tuck football all through the first quarter as neither squad could deliver a scoring strike.

Jim Smith, Del Val signal caller, moved the baU down to the fifteen on the next play. Then Coach Bill Craver sent in his sophomore passing star, Ron T imko. Taking the situation in hand, Timko rifled a 13 yard Athlete of the Week Saturday, the Colonels needed a miracle and they all looked to one person - Joe Wiendl. And as we all know he came through as usual. This is something we have grown to expect from Joe. Intramural schedule Intramural touch football began this week with three games scheduled in the two leagues. All games begin at 4:15 p.m. After having an 81 yard punt return nullified by a penalty, Joe Wiendl came back in the closing minutes of the Delaware Valley contest to score the winning touchdown on a spectacular 69 yard jaunt. It is for the latter feat plus his overall game performance that has earned Joe the title Athlete of the Week. Joe 's punt and kickoff returns are thrilling sights as he runs over, around, and through all would-be tacklers, bringing the crowd to its feet. Last year he ran back 36 punts for 361 yards and one touchdown, and four kickoffs for 84 yards. This is just one phase of Joe's talents which won for him last year's "Athlete of the Year" Award from the Beacon and the College. The 5'10". 180 pound junior is also an All-Star wrestler and baseball player. MAC Results Northern Division Last Saturday's Scores Albright 20, Springfield 10 Next week's schedule.

The Aggies soon upped the score to 7-0 as Floyd Ritter's placement split the uprights. Behind by seven points the Colonels started marching down the field on successive running and passing plays. With the end zone in close sight, a daring Aggie defensive rush racked up Rick Simonson, the Colonel quarterback, and he was .forced to leave the field. Minutes later -the Colonels got the football back as defensive end Pepper Merrill recovered a .fumble deep in Del Val territory. Faced with the dilemma of having none of his three signal callers in top physical shape, Coach Rollie Schmidt summoned last week's hero Joe Frappolli. On the first play the Ursinus presents breather by Chuck Lengle After last Saturday's one point victory over the Aggies of Delaware Valley, the Colonels can look forward to what should be an easy victory tomorrow afternoon when they travel to Collegeville to take on the Ursinus Bears. This is rebuilding year for the Bears, and Coach Dick Whatley is experiencing a rough campaign thus far . Last week the Bears were soundly defeated by Johns Hopkins, 43-0. At quarterback, Ursinus has Pete D'Achille, a 50 per cent passer who ranked third in the division in scoring and T:O connections (six) last year. D'Achille can throw long or short, and he is not afraid to run with the ball when necessary. The backfield has given Whatley many sleepless nights as he tries to find capable replacements for -fullback Tony Motto (fifth-leading rusher in the division last year) and halfback Dennis Sicker, both lost via graduation. ,Bob McDonald has been operating at full back but he has lacked any consistency so far this year. Rich DiEugenio, Mike Mangan, and Gary Dolch provide solid blocking up front. DiEugenio might be forced to go both ways this Saturday - guard on offense and linebacker on defense. The Bears will operate out of an I formation with a split end and a flanker. The Bears are an exceptionally small team with no more than eight ,players topping the 200 pound mark. The Colonels lead the Bears in victories (8-3.) shutting them out the past two years, 24--0 and 34-0. After Delaware Valley, I seriously doubt if the Bears can offer little resistance to the "Colonel Machine." If the defense is ready to rack up their nrst shutout and if the "walking wounded" are healed, then I confidently predict a one-sided victory for -the Colonels. Predicted score: Wilkes 42, Ursinus 0 ~ SHOP . EROYS ,, FIRST yards away from the goal line, Schmidt inserted Joe Zakowski. After sitting out a week of practices because of an injury sustained in the Moravian game, Zakowski brought the screaming Parents' Day aggregation to their feet with an arching trajectile to· Joe Skvarla in the end zone. The catch was Skvarla's twenty-seventh of his college career and established a new W ilkes reception record. The old mark of 26 was set by Ted Travis-Bey from 1961 to 1964. Dave Kaschak's placement tied the game at 7-7. With only seconds remaining in the half, Joe Wiendl picked up a punt and sped 81 yards to paydirt, but the play was nullified on a clipping infraction. The Aggies entered the second half fired up as Timko completed successive aerials to Dennis Shark and Joe Franchella. With the ball on the one yard line Timko capped the attack with a sneaker to put Del Val ahead 13-7. The all important extra point attempt by Ritter was wide of its mark. For approximately the next 15 minutes of game time both teams were unable to penetrate with the ball. The setting was now in good order for Wiendl's gem. Receiving the punt on his 31 yard line, Wiendl picked up his blockers perfectly and romped in all the way .for the score. The frenzied Colonels fans were screaming on their feet as Kaschak's placement broke the 13 fo 13 deadlock. On the kickoff to Del Val. Aggie receiver Franchella lost control of the ball on the ten. Bob Gennaro wisely jumped on the loose ball and the Wilkesmen had another chance to hit the board. The Colonels were stopped in their quest, but the Aggies were forced to take control of the ball with less than a minute left, deep in their own backyard. As the final gun sounded the Aggies had reached -the midfield stripe, but that is where it all ended .
