In the second half, the pace of the game quick end and the Wilkesmen outscored their opponents by two points, but were unable to close the gap sufficiently and the result was a five point loss. Wally Umbach led the Colonel attack with 28 points, his career high, coming mostl y on his patented jumpers from 20 feet out. Rich Davis had 15 and Jay Reimel just missed doubles with 9 points. Wednesday night, the Colonels faced the tough Elizab eth town Blue Jays. The Colonels greeted the visitors with a full co urt press at the beginnin g of the garne and jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead on two goals by Rich Davis and a jump er by Frank Jannuzzi. With 16 :10 showing on the clock, Jay Reimel sank a foul shot to give the Colonels a 9-4 lead. Wilkes did not score again for the next three minutes and in the interim , the outside shooting of Wil Richardson and Charlie Mock enabled the Jays to score 10 straight points and to take th e lead which they never relinquished . Both teams traded baskets for the remainder of the half until with 1 seocnd left, Richardson sank a 25 footer to give the Jays an 11 point lead at the ha!I, 47°36 . The second half found the Colonels forced to play catchup ball. The well - disciplined E-towners n eve r blew their cool and remained ahead by at least 10 points throughout the first 7½ minutes of the second half. With 12:40 left on the clock, the Colonels agai~ _resorted to their zone press . The v1s1tors had no trouble with the press and consistently found themse lves three on one against Rich Davis, the Wilkes safety man. With 7:24 left in the game, Mock hit a 25 footer to give E-town its largest lead of the night, 82-61. Shortly thereafter, Sophomore guard Terry Jones entered the game and the Colonels went into a manto-man press. Jones and Reime l sparked a strong Colonel co m eback which enabled the Blue and Gold to cut the lead coming within 8 points of the visitors at the 2:30 mark, 84-76. The visitors then scored two quick goals and led by 12. From that point on , they went into a freeze . The Colonels w ere forced to foul to regain possession of th e ball. E-town converted severa! key one and one situations and went on to win 97-82. Wally Umbach again led the scoring with 26 points on 12 of 22 from the floor and 2-4 from the foul lin e. Rich Davis had 14, Herb Kemp and Jay Reimel had 12 each. Frank Jannuzzi was the 5th starter in doubles with 10. Saturday night, the Colonels completely overwhelmed visiting Drew University. The Colonels nev er trailed in the MAC game as they eve ned their season's record at 3-3. The highli gh t of the evening occurred with a littl e over 19 minutes left in the second half as Jay Reimel passed to Herb Kemp at the top of the key. Kemp proceeded to sink a 25 foot jumper to register th e 1000th point of his illustrious caree r at the College. The game was halted and Herb was presented with the game ball as the fans gave him a standing ovation. Coach Rainey substituted freely in an attempt to keep th e score respectable and consequently all the Colonels saw a great deal of action . Wall y Umbach led the Wilkes scoring with 21 points hitting on 9 of 15 from the field and 3 of 4 from the foul line. Rich Davis (Continued on Page 8) �Page 6 THE BEACON Alex Hannum, recently appointed coach of the San Diego Rockets in The National Baske tball Association, comm ented, "You can't win in this leagu e unless you have a bald-head ed coach and a bearded center." The Colonel hoopmen don't hav e a bald coach, to the happiness of coach Ron Rainey, nor do they have a bearded center. But they do possess a bearded forward. ... ' F 1 :. II •• Herb Kemp is the player i~ reference. In last week's game against Drew, Herb cracked the 1,000-point margin by hitting a 20-foot jumper hoopsters commented in due fashion, "It's nice to have, but I've got to get moving, get off this slow start." Compared to past seasons this is a slow start for the 6-3 forward. In his freshman season, Herb played 18 games and scored but 89 points, hitting 34 shots from the floor and converting 21 free throws. In 1967, his sophomore year, Herb went wild as he scored his highest season output by banking 434 points. He shot 50 % as he took 340 shots and made 173 plus 88 points on foul shots. In that season, Herb was a terror off the boards as he snagged 432 bounds. Last year, Herb dropped in both Pete Herbst departments. He scored 401 points and pulled down 257 rebounds. A s he said , this s eason is beginning slowly. Against Drew he scored 13 points to bring his total to 48 points. But if anybody pushes himself to improve, it's Herb. Equally important to his scoring, Herb's presence on the court does wonders for his teammates and strikes fear into opposing players . Cen ter Rich Davis said, "It's good to know Herb can clear the boards in case I'm out of position. He's great. " Many times an opposing player driving from the baseline will stop hi s drive when he sees this imposing, bearded figure blocking his path. Tha t quality and the others mentioned here are the re asons Herb was s elec ted to captain Coach Rainey's squad this year. He tak es the position s eriously: "I'll have to set the example by doing, not talking this year." Herb doesn 't talk that much on the court but he does a lot. * * * * * The grapplers of Coach Reese have currently won nine straight matches and one must wonder how good they really are. Their latest match, rather a mismatch , saw the matmen walk over C. W. Post 46-0. They recorded seven pins, six of them coming consecutively. In the prevwus match, the matmen shut-ou t Kutztown. It seems this year 190 pounder Ron Fritts has developed a matphobia. He just can't stay on the mat for longer than a few seconds . It all started last year against Lycoming when he pinned his man in 14 s econds. It's e_vident the phobia has recurred this season. Ron pinned hrs opponent m 18 seconds against Kutztown, which was the second fastest pin in Wilkes history. (Naturally, Ron holds the record for the fastest pin.) Then last Saturday against Post he pinned Ed Schmidt in 25 seconds. He works up more of a sweat in practice than at the meets. With the entire wrestling team wrestling so brilliantly, you don't know where to start. However, the most logical place is the coach. For years , Athletic Director John Reese has produced stand-out teams but this year he just might out-do himself. The coach is a very modest.man who doesn't hesitate to shy away from attention. But his actions speak f~r themse lves a~d the _school should be grateful and appreciative of his ab1ht1es. Besides bemg a member of the rules committee for the NCA"": , the coach was recently appointed a member of the coaching committee for the United States Olympic teams. * * * * * There seems to be some perversion of justice here in America when a person convicted of evading the draft is allowed to run around the country for years appealling the case on the grounds he is a minister while trying to resume his boxing occupation. Cassius Clay, or Muhummad Ali as he was called before being dismissed from the Black Muslims , is now trying desperately to arrange a bout with Joe Frazier. Rightly so, Americans are speaking up to prevent this. The fight was scheduled for Orlando, Florida but Florida Governor Claude Kirk asked promoter Ron Gorton to call off the fight because of large public sentiment against the fight. They couldn 't be more correct. Any society that allows a convicted citizen to roam the country free and at the same time speaking out agamst that country is definitely crazy . If anybody is to be a hero, it better not be Cassius Clay. There was some negative transformation of Clay ever since he won th e world heavyweight title from Sonny Liston in Miami Beach. From then on he became a tool of the Black Muslims and a symbol of hate. His poems about the round he'd knock out his opponent were no longer to be heard. He became vindicative and vicious . If a~ything, we must sympathize, feel sorry for him being brainwashed oy that hate group . He certainly isn't to be idolized. * * * * * Stats for guard Wally Umbach this week are 75 points, converting 35 shots from 58, 17 rebounds and 15 assists. Swimmers Drop Initial Two Meets; 80, Lose To Harpur, Bloomsburg State Pn by by Steve Jones The Colonel mermen, try.ing desperately to 'shake a losing streak which began last year, dropped their first two encounters of the new season. . On Dec . 9, Coach Robert Corba's charges dropped a 61-34 decision to Harpur College and two new school records in a meet which featured some excellent diving by Co lonel Doug Krinke. Last Saturday the aquamen lost their second meet in as many encounters to Bloomsburg State College, 64-31. Against Harpur, freshman Rich Marchant set a new mark in the 50 11 by Steve Newman The Wilk es Op en Wrestling Tournamen t, the oldest and largest event of its kind and one which always attracts the top wrestlers in the East opens here Decemb er 29 and 30. "The Rose Bowl of Wrestling," as it was cited in Sports Illustrated a year ago will feature 350 entries this year, the 38th of its existence. Among the top teams to wrestle this year is the New York Athletic Club, last year's team champion. The Athletic Club features Brooke Yeager, former Wilkes great in its efforts to defend the title. The Club is expected to finish in the top ten. Bloomsburg, Temple, Lock Haven, and Wilkes will attempt to wrestle the Walp Trophy, which is awarded to the team champion, from New York. Although the Colonels have never won the title, they have finished third twice and placed fourth last year. With co-captain Andy Matviak leading the way for the grapplers, Coach John Reese hopes again to finish in the top five. Matviak was last year's champ at 115 pounds. · Other outstanding individuals who will return are Larry Ripley of Lock Haven and Alex Steinberg of the Penn Grapplers. Ripley was the recipient of the Blackman Trophy for the Outstanding Wrestler and the High Point Trophy. Steinberg won the Gorriaran Trophy for the most falls. This will be Steinberg's 13th Wilkes Open. Wilkes College inherited the Tournament from the Wilkes-Barre YMCA in 1950 because the local institution could not offer adequate facilities for the growing event. The tourney was initiated in 1932 by Austin Bishop while serving as wrestling coach at the Wyoming Seminary. The competition has increased from approximately 56 wrestlers in 1932 to its present number. This year's matches begin Monday the 29th at 1 p.m. and will continue throughout the day. Tuesday's matches begin at 1 also. The finals will be held Tuesday night. One ticket is good for both days. Last year's winner was the New York Athletic Club with 67 points followed by Bloomsburg State College w ith 55. Temple University placed third followed by Wilkes with 29 points, only two behind Temple. Old Dominion Co 11 e g e rounded out the top five by placing fifth with 28 points .

This editorial was suggested by the Council of Deans in an attempt to quell the many rumors abounding on this Campus, and to explain to the student body why some things do not just happen on the suggestion of the student. Many students are laboring under the misapprehension that because something is not discussed and passed at the first meeting at which it is proposed, it means the Deans do not want it and are deliberately stalling. This is not so. The Deans suggest that students take each proposal that has been suggested and ask what has become of it. We suggest that until you have your facts straight it is best to withhold judgment - and especially refrain from rash promises to take over the Administration building! That cute little trick will only prove one thin,g: that students do not have the maturity to handle more responsibility! .. f We pause to wonder what would happen if Congress got frustrated in the process of trying to pass legislation and gave the President ultimatums. Suppose it threatened to take over the White House unless they were pacified? It has been remarked several times by students that the current proposals under consideration are Student Government's one last chance to accomplish things through proper channels. May we remind our childish peers that our student governing bodies are our only chance to accomplish those things we ask! Look at the current proposals one by one: 1. Un limited class cuts: Why didn't you look in the new Bulletin to see that the policy has been reworded to state that class attendance is "expected"? That's a far cry from " required." 2. Calendar changes: The proposal is to end the first semester and final exams by the Christmas break. However, the committee has problems to iron out before this can be put into effect. If the semester begins on September 2, what happens to the students who are denied summer jobs which stipulate .. that .. employment . must .. run through Labor Day? If the semester ends on December 23, students would be unable to take Christmas jobs. And if the second semester schedule is changed, it will be difficult to coordinate transfer students from other schools. These con siderations are all for the students, because frankly, the Administration and faculty want the calendar changed! 3. Mandatory oral final exams: How do they solve the dilemma of a prof with a large Lit. lecture trying to administer oral examinations? Aside from these academic proposals, there are social proposals under consideration: 1.. Parking: This constant dilemma was put into the hands of the students. It was suggested that a committee approach the parking cammission requesting special student rates. So far, no student action has been taken. 2. Open housing: This is the biggest thorn of all, because so many rumors allowed to develop. The proposal has not been killed or stalled. After its first pre. sentation at the December 23 Administration Council meeting, it was sent back to Student Government with a request for a further proposal on the governance of open housing. The revised proposal (which suggests sign-in sheets) was received by the Deans the Thursday before registration. Because their offices were literally overrun before, during, and registration by students like yourselves who were asking for help with schedule revision, special problems, or trying to get back into school, it was impossible for the Deans to touch the proposal. Are we so unreasonable that we expect them to take action during the most hectic days in any dean's schedule? Two other · proposals, off-campus housing and curfew revision, are also under consideration. Contrary to popular belief, they have not died in the dusty corners of someone's desk. They are the subjects of very lively discussion as these Administrators try to probe the pros and cons, and find the difficulties that may be encountered if and when they are put into effect. There is no need to place blame on anyone. Our student leaders have worked diligently to write and submit proposals, and have put in many hours WHY CONSIDER?

He has very nearly won. ·~ supplemented by many awards, he continues to be a student worthy of recognition here at Wilkes. Aside from holding the fine cumulative average of 2.94, Bill has served as vice-president of his Fresh.man Class, I:D .C. representative of Warner House for two years, and was chosen Youth of the Month in February, 1968 by the Optimists of the West Shore Harrisburg Area. Many people might feel his accomplishments stem from what they consider his inability to participate in physical activities. They could not be more wrong, for at just about the time Bill was removing his braces, he was learning to dance. On t)le advice of his speech therapist, Bill went to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Harrisburg (where his therapist was taking !es~ sons) and showed the instructors at the studio some material his therapist had taught him. Having been sufficiently impressed with his ability, the studio offered him 25 free lessons which he readily accepted. Struggling at first, Bill gradually began proving himself to the point where the studio agreed to give him lessons as long as he showed up for them. He is now on his silver standard at the studio, and going strong. Having replaced therapy and learned enjoyment, Billy credits dancing with having "had as much of a mental effect . . . as it has a physical effect, because it has taught me how to meet people and get along with them." Meet him! It is a refreshing and rewarding experience. Q Born in Wilkes-Barre, Billy spent first nine years here before ving to Harrisburg.

The 1960's proved once ,ain that the police department is e only dividing line between the vilized and uncivilized society. el, the idiots who take over col·ies, and smoke marijuana, pot, ·d LSD don ' t realize this! I am roud, therefore, to extend praise our police deaprtment, praise leyso well deserve. We live in troubled times. Even lilkes-Barre h as had a few prob1ms. A li ttl e girl was shot down in lestreet; a coed was attacked out'de a college building; prowlers morize girls ' dormitories without .1ar of capture. Our Brave Men In ,lue are hard-pressed . Even if they ·an't cope with some of these prob.ms, they try to work on them, ·en so. Despite this tremendous urden, nothing escapes their eye ; infraction, no m a tt er how trivial accepte d by society, will be tolated. Their treatment of the Wilkes 35 " a month ago was a e example of their businesslike proach to th eir jobs. On the nigh t of December 13th, epolice h ad their hands full. The .ores we re staying open late, meone was ne eded to direct traf. in the Square, and all the coffee ops were closing down early which eliminated many of th e pocemen's b eats) . To add to that, imes were also being committed . \ car ran into a utility pole, and ·ur people were injured. A numer of youths were making a public "sturbanc e ' by running through the treets. A car's windshield was ashed. But when the Christmas :arty was discovered at Miners !ills, they did not shrink from leir duty, but swarmed, guns at le ready, into the fray . The result: ~ hippy fr eaks were brought to istice. The fines and the police 1cord [which they will carry for the rest of their lives) should teach them a good lesson. As a member of this community, I feel the police deserve a pat on the back for their valiant efforts . With their help we may one day be able to get the cruds out of college, and in the prisons where they belong. And I stand beside the officer who slapped one of the scum around. If more parents followed his example, there would be less long-haired queers walking our beautiful city streets. It is my beilef that these few dupes have learned that we do not tolerate non-conformity in this valley, and will be better people for it. They have also learned that the impartiality of the Wilkes-Barre city courts is surpassed only by their m ercifulness . Sincerely yours, TommyYodo, Chairman, T.O.K.

Urilike an accreditation case study whose sole purpose is to evaluate a college, the type of case study to be conducted here concedes that the College is doing a commendable job in handling its problems, and is an educational effort to gain a better insight on how this is being accomplished. Three basic areas will be examined in the study. The first of these is the relationship of the administrative and faculty structure to curriculum innovation and interdisciplinary program planning. The second topic concerns the liberal arts core curriculum, its relevance to contemporary knowledge, and the contributions of the interdisciplinary course initiated at th e College (e.g., the environmental science program) . The final avenue of interest centers around the development of graduate programs at th e College based on the caliber of undergraduate curricula, and the importance of interinstitutional cooperation in graduate program formation . During the course of the case study, seminars will be held regarding these subjects. The College professes that the students are directly involved in these matters under circumspection, in that surely the decisions made will affect them in some way, that they should have a voice in the panel discussions along with the case study participants and faculty. This will be a precedent for future case studies since it will mark the first time that s tu dent panelists will enter in to discussions in the non-student affairs area. The Middle States Steering Committee is currently immersed in th e preparation of background papers. These papers explain th e programs of the college which are scheduled to be discussed and deal with why the programs were begun, how they op erate, and what results they have yielded to date. The case study participants will have these pap ers sent to th em prior to their visit, and they will s erve as excellent brie'fin g material so that discussions at the seminars can commence without d elay. Memb ers of the Steering Committee are George Elliot, Owen Faut, Benjamin Fiester , Francis Michelini, Ralph Rozelle, and students Dave Lombardi and Ross Piazza. By December 10 all d rafts of the background papers ha.d to b e submi tt ed to th e commi ttee. These were revi ewed by the members and on January 10 the pape rs came out of committee whence they are available to all for inspection. Copies are at th e library and students are invited to read them over and are encouraged to add their critical comments and make suggestions for possible r evision. Beginning February 10, the committee considers the suggestions made and th e papers are r ewritten . Finally on March 10, the pap ers are sent to th e case study participants. The overall schedule for these participants , besides including the s eminars, also encompasses review s essions, luncheons , and p eriods during which each participant mor e or less has a free rei gn and can met with any one of th e committees on campus. by George Pagliaro WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY students may soon find language requirements easie-r to cope with. Those students who are not language majors may elect Programmed French [later to include other languages) which will differ from regular French in emphasis, independent study and utilization of the language in the individual student's major field . In a time when students cry for more relevance in college curricula, WVU is making a fine attempt to provide relevant courses. In attempt to overcome what has come to b e called the "impersonal system" of the large universities, l'HE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN has formed a Student Counseling Office at its College of Literature, Science, and the Arts . It is an office which, in the words of Dr. James A. Shaw, assistant dean of th e college, is "a way of formalizing th e grapevine, of making it mor e visible and accessible to all literary college students." The office maintains "a loos e relationship with the faculty counseling offices in the hope that students will feel freer to talk about their problems with their peers, who know have the connections with th e faculty to try and alleviate them. " KNOX COLLEGE in Galesburg, Illinois, has established an Experimental College based on the concept that "learning should be exciting, that it should be a group activity, and that it should be unforced and pursued for its . own sake." Courses are offer ed fr ee of cost and they carry no credit. There are no grades . Class es may start and end at any tim e. They may meet an ywher e and th ey may di e from lack of interes t at any tim e. Surprisingly enough, th e courses the EC offers ar e not all "esoteric or artsy-craftsy," but include such valuable cours es as Italian and Midwest Indian cul ture. These courses are not offer ed in th e r egular KNOX curriculum. KNOX's EC may well be on th e road to interes ting the s tu den ts it teach es rath er than drilling th em in traditional te chniques . Students of the UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO recently gav e tan gible support to civil rights. Passing the measure by a vote of 1,070 to 230, the und ergraduat es have a greed to pay an extra $5 with their registration fees for the spring sem ester. The money will provid e funds for the Father John F. X. Connolly Minority Stud ent Scholarship Program. The $15,000 raised from the 3,000-plus stud ents at th e university will allow students of minority groups to attend school fully awar e th a t their fellow students ar e th e ones that wanted them th er e. I feel the changes that h ave b een cited on other campuses should p r ove one important thing to th e American college student : change for its own sake is me anin gless. Change with a constructive purpose is far more r ewarding than ch ang e which destroys and waits for ideas on how to rebuild.

Williams Poem By Williams Published; Manuscript Seeks Members In the past few years, four Wilkes students asociated with the Manuscript have received national recognition for their creative work. C. R. Williams, a senior political science major, is the latest of these . He has been notified that one of his poems has been accepted for publication in this year's National Col• lege Poetry Anthology. The accepted poem appears in this w ee k's Poetry Corner. Williams has been a member of the Manuscript for the past four years, and many of his poems h ave appeared in that literary work. Manuscript is currently accepting poetry, short stories, plays, artwork, and photography for this year's magazine. Deadline for submitting original works is March 1. Students interested in working with the Manuscript are encouraged to contact Anne Aimetti, or any member of the staff. Meetings are held weekly at 11 a.m. on Thursday, third floor of the Student Organization Building. I have no desire to begin a Bea· con version of "Little Studies," but I would like to express my thanks publicly to Wilkes student Ed Brooks.

Sincerely, Pat Pisoneschi by Ron Jacobs Because of the actions of an unscrupulous minority of stud ents, a traditional 23-year-old policy of the Wilkes College ' library, a policy based on a total trust of the library us er, will imminently be dissolved. In the past there h ave never been any preventive measures installed, either of a human or mechanical sort, to combat those individuals who fla grantly remove books from the library without checking them out. There will, however, in th e n ear futur e, be automatic devices set up to avert such violations. The decision to remedy the present situation was one which was arrived at only after a considerable amount of conscientious deliberation. The faculty Library Committee together with the library staff have considered various deterrent systems and have sent memoranda to the Administration urging that something should definitely be done. Student Governm ent has also played an active role in advocating change. Representatives from various companies h ave arrived on campus and have presented their mechanical safeguard systems. Though each system differs somewhat, they are all based more or less on the same principle. Every book is chemi cally treated and mechanisms installed at the exits are able to detect those books which have n ot been checked out. These detection systems have their origin in department stores as a means of inhibiting shoplifters. In the field of library use, th ey are only in their infancy. Though each system has its inherent · flaws, they are all constantly being improved. The possibility of using human agents instead of mechanical apparati was also considered but later abandoned because of practical reasons. During the last 10 minutes of each hour an average of 60 students leave the library to go to their classes. Since every student would have to be checked, it would be virtually impossible for them all to arrive in class on time. A human agent system would call for the employm ent of two and one-h alf fulltime people, 14 hours a day, seven European Jobs Being Offered Brooks Thanked For Deed To the editors: library Book losses Continuing; Mechanical Help Now Being Sought NOTICE Poetry is a message, a whisper of secret dreams, or a mock.

The specific mechanical system which is eventually chosen will be permanently committed to. This is one of the primary reasons that extensive analysis of each method is taking place. Also, there will be a time lapse between adoption of a system and its initiation. This is attributed to the fact that each of the approximately 100,000 books in the library will have to be treated. Whatever particular system is decided up on, its cost will range from $10-$15,000 per year either directly or indirectly. The ex pense will b e footed by the students themselves. Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian, regrets that th e enactment of such an expe nsive meas ur e must be undertaken, because of what she terms a small minority of selfish students . She stated that the loss incurred by the library because of " disapp earing" books cannot be measured in actu a l doll ars, but rather in the inconveni ence which is caus ed. Often a student will remov e a book which he needs for a long-term ass ignment without ch eckin g it out, keep it until he has co mpl eted the assignment, and then surr eptitious ly return it several months later. Though no monetary lo ss has occurred, other s tu den ts who ma y have needed the book for th eir assignments have been unfairly -deprived and inconvenienced. Past ventures in which a day was Stud ents can work this summer in the forests of Germany, on co nstruction in Austria, on farms in Germany, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction in Norway, in industries in France and Germany, in hotels in Switzerland. These job s, as well as jobs in Ireland, England, France, Italy and Holland, are open by the co nsent of th e governments of these countries to American university students going to Europe next summer. For several years students mad e their way across the Atlantic • through A.E.S. Service to take part in the actual life of the people of these co untri es. The success of this projec t has ca used a great deal of enthusiastic interest and support both in America and Europe . Th e purpose of this program is to affor d the student an opportunity to get into living contact with the people and customs of Europe. In this way, a concrete effort can be made to learn something of the culture of Europe. In return for his or her work, the student will receive room and board, plus a wage .

Mrs. Vu· jica commented that the situation at the College is by no mean; unique. Book losses plague all Ii· braries ranging from private schools · to large universities, r~ gardless of the intricacy of the detection systems involved. Ultimate· ly, the ideal not to destroy anoth· er's property must be a part of a student's ethical code. Mrs. Vujica also pointed out thi many students have the rniscon· ception that because they cannot find a book they are looking for. the book must be already checked out. This is not always the case. The particular work may have been inadvert ently shelved in the wroni place. There is likewise the possi· bility that it may be found in one of the study carrells, since students the carrells rather than reshelre them. Perhaps the book is being r~ bound or is on reserve. Then of course, it could be that the library does have the sought· for book. In this eventuality, the library, through the interlibrarr loan program, can arrange to obtain the book or a similar one from an· other library. Hence, because of the numerous likelihoods as to wherei book may be, the most prudent procedure'"lo be taken when one can· not find a book is to check al th, desk.

"Of course," he added with a typical sneaky Irish grin, "the amazing thing will be that only staff members and their families will win, and all the money will be channeled back into our kitty!" It sounded a bit shady, so we vetoed that and Sally suggested a bake sale. We discovered a definite lack of culinary talent among the staff.

We alternately suggested selling Beacon subscriptions (and junked t idea because our feelings would be hurt if no one wanted to buy em), holding a dance, creating a babysitting agency, selling the old cons for rags, or framing them as souvenirs from the past. But the most inspired suggestion of all was to arrange a deal wherewe would tip off a "Certain Magistrate" when Wilkes parties were ing held! An added inspiration was to rent our Beacon office for the rties so we could clean up both ways. That desperate measure was toed as disloyal to our fellow students.

The Colonels are now 6-7 on the campaign and are 3-6 in the MAC. With the Amazing Mets as world champion3 of baseball and al· tendance on the rise in the nation's pastime, ex-St. Louis star Curt Flood had to come around and spoil things by suing baseball. Specifically, he is seeking the abolishment of th e reserve clause in a player's contract which binds a player to the club with which he signs fo"r life. The club has the righ t to fire a player during the season or the off-season, trade him, or drop him to th e minor leagues. In short, the club has complete and sole contro l over a player for as long as he wishes to play in or· ganized baseball [the major and minor leagues). Mr. Flood wants the reserve clause abolished.

Looking ahead to the remaining match es , Marfia commented, "We should h ave no problem tomorrow against Madison but East Stroudsburg should be a tough one. Either Andy (Matviak) or myself will be wrestling a national champion, so if we get by the first four divisions with wins we'll b e in pre tty good shape." Coach Reese ec hoed his captain's feelings: " I'm not worried about Millersvi ll e at all. " Flood has the backing of the Players As• sociation and has retained the services nf form er Supreme Court Justice Arthur Gold· berg. The owners, however, feel otherwise. They claim without the reserve clause baseball wou ld collapse. The purpose of the clause it to prevent a team from stockpiling the best ballplayers by offering higher sal· aries . The poorer clubs would then not be able to compete on an equal level. However, other sports, primarily football, do not have the reserve clause. Professional Pete Herbst football is currently enjoying its "Golden Years" with a substitute for the res erve clause. A football player has the right to "p lay out" his oneyear option and then sign with any club. This practice is severely lim· ited by Commissioner Pete Roz elle since the club with which the player decides to p lay is obligated to replace that player with another player of the same ability, or some reasonable facsimile. At $90,000 a year, Flood is probably the richest piece of property In don a uniform. But he has repeat edly claimed his is not a personal fight but rather for the benefit of all players, primarily those who aren't supe~ stars, those who ride the bench game after game with no opportunity to get a starting position. Flood is rebelling against a contract which aJ. lows a club to fir e a player at any time without notice. If it is during the off-season, then without pay. He can be ordered without notice to pick up his family and move to another city, although he receives a moving expenses allowance based on a 1957 moving scale. That is what Flood is rebelling against - the not-so-glamorous part of a ballplayer's life. And the Lords of Bas eball, as the owners are called, are doing nothing about it. The players want a modification of the reserve clause . Their demands follow somewhat these points: • The right of a player to be free to play out his option after a set num· ber of years a la pro football. • The right to negotiate after a set number of years with his original club. • The right to yearly salary increases which, if not met, would releasi the player to negotiate as a fr ee agent. • The right to have a contract for a specified number of years rather than for life . • The right to negotiate with other clubs , but with his original club being given the right to match any offer. • The right of arbitration of salary disputes. • The right to bring a lawyer or adviser to bargaining sessions with the general manager. • The right to be consulted, and with proper compensation, before I trade is completed. There they are. Rights which should be granted to ballplayers not because they are ballplayers but since they are human beings, not property. They are involved in a livelihood which should not allow their superiors to have tota l domination over them. I agree with Mr. Floodthe reserve clause should be modified and the Lords should not haYI the power that is th eirs whenever a pla yer signs a contract. If Flood's suit is not settled out of court, it will probably take 111 or three years before it comes up before a court. However, other people have tested the case in court five times before. That baseball is a but iness and that Organized Baseball is a monopoly has never been ii doubt. What has been questioned is whether or not it is the type of but iness monopoly that should be exem~t from Federal anti-trust laws. Al late as 1957, the Supreme Court ruled that only baseball was exempt from anti-trust legislation on the basis of a 1922 ruling which said bast ball was neither interstate in its essential nature nor "commerce" in the s ense of goods manufactured and sold . Curt Flood is willing to give up his mo st lucrative baseball ca to fight the Lords of Baseball. He has supporters and detractors. Bui is a most justifiable fight whereby the status quo, which clearly d not suit present conditions, will eventually bec ome just a memory. W will hopefully take its place is a set of rul es mor e legitimate and m reasonable. 118-Jay McGinley 126-'-An dy Matviak 134-Joh n Marfia 142-Tom Mo rris 150-Denn is Verzera 158-Ala n Zei ner 167-Gerry Wil lets 177- Rich Ceccoli 190-Ron Fritts Hwt-Leo Roan 3-2-0 5-0-0 7-0-0 3-1-0 3-0-0 6-0-0 5-1-0 4-2-0 5-2-0 5-1 -0 ( 3-2-0) (37-3-0) (3 7-6-0) ( 3-2-0) (24- 6-2) (12-3 -0) (24-5-1) (19-5-0) (20-5-2) ( 5-1-0) - ■corer age w it came a ~y whe Capti ,coring pulling II the t Center Kemp i litting 14.0 av avis ls i~ ker] the ounc is l pl er I im ( Ja Bi Ri Be H« Fr D2 Te N 0 TICE• MEN Senio r Mond ay-W ednesday 7 :30 - 9 :30 .c W i lk es -B ar re YMCA Sta r t s M o nday, Feb. 2 125 LEWIS - DUNCAN Sports center a nd trophy gal le ry 11 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING �iday, January 30, 1970 aineymen oal For 00 Level THE BEACON Page 7 Bill Umbach Scores What Guard Jay Reimel Steals 8-Ball League Gets Underway Glen Arneson, director of the greatly expanded Intramural Basketball League, recently announced the schedule for 1970 competition which will feature 24 teams divided into four divisions.

In five of the Colonels' first seven games Wally has hit for more than 20 points each game with his highest total coming off Philadelphia Pharmacy when he scored 28. He has connected for over 50 per cent of his shots this year. Joining him in the backcourt is defensive ace Jay Reimel, the smallest man on court and the team's playmaker. He began his career at Montrose High School, Pa., and has since played on a winning team. Since -Jay donned a Wilkes uniform, the Raineymen have not had a losing season. Reimel is instrumental in the success of the team. His ball-hawking defense and sharp passing and dribbling on offense ignite the team as well as the crowd.

In these times of bad publicity for college students , it seems high time we give credit where credit is due. Let us salute those who bring honor and distinction to their alma mater. Though we feel it is by and large the majority who do so, this week seems an appropriate time to single out for credit those whose accomplishments and activities have placed them in the annual Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Though such honors have too often been relegated to the level of raccoon coats, fraternities and school spirit in contemporary college circles, we feel these students have accomplished something of note. Perhaps it is because they have seen fit to give something back to their school, rather than accept and take whatever they can. They uphold the old-fashioned college princ ipl e that our education is only worthwhile when we can take what is offered and give it back to others.

It was recen!ly announced by Dr. Eugene S. Farley that \:'~Ike~ Co~lege will be one of three Pennsylvania colleges parhc1patmg m a case study conducted by Pennsylvania State University concerning institutional response to the dynamics of educational change. Bob Capin The study, entitled "Institutional Response of Four-Ye ar Lib eral Arts Colleges to Student Pressures for Change," is under the dir ection of Hans Flexner, associate professor and chairman of high er education, and H erbert Aurbach, associate professor of education and sociology. To help facilitat e the workings of this group, Dr. Farley appointed a committee at Wilkes. This committee is composed of: Robert Capin, chairman; George Ralston, Art Hoover, Jane Lampe, Dan Kopen, Drew Gubanich, and Tom Kelly. These people are working in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State University group to supply it with interviews, information, and published materials. Through cor responde nce betw ee n Mr. Flexner and Wilkes College, the background of the study, its pur- pose, and research procedures were learned. The research on the study began a t Wilkes with a visitation by these two men last Friday. The men collec ted information and published materials. They plan to return this spring to hav e interviews with faculty, s tud ents, and administrators. It is the fee ling of this group that the presen t un rest in hi gher education has many dimensions, where the most visible are student demonstrations and revolts . It is also felt that th ese manifestations are of a more fundamental and complex phenom ena in our society. Some people view these demonstrations as social trends and institutional inadequacies reflected in unim aginative educational programs. Moreover, the character and goals of these diss en ters vary from orderly to disru ptive tact ics, to a b eli ef that a free uni versity is the answer to where there can be no free univ ersi ty in an unfree society. The background report to the case study also points out that where individual colleges and un iversities appear to have similar external a nd internal problems, their re actions to these problems are markedly different. On one hand, many of th e institutions cons id er thes e people as part of the problem of a crisis wh er e others consider students the vital se gmen t of American high er education. It was also lea rned that th e way individual institutions r espond to change is dep end ent upon a number of interrelated factors. On e is the attitudes, ideas and commitments of st ud ents, of faculty and of administrative officers , an d of (Continued on Page 8) State Senate to Hear Michelini on Tax Exempt Issue The following is an excerpt from tistimony given by Dr. Francis J. Michelini yesterday before the State Senate subcommittee hearings on real estate assessments and tax exemptions . As students may know, there has oeen considerable controversy in !he local community and th e Commonwealth of Pennsylvania co ncerning the taxation of hospitals, educatio nal institutions, and present tax -exe mpt properties held by churches and charitable organizations. Local municipalities faced with serio us problems of financing their local government servic es are limi!ed in ~heir legal powers to tax. Few resources are available to them other than real property tax which provides the bulk of tax income by local governments supplemen ted by various other resources such as wag e taxes , occupational privilege taxes, gross receipts business taxes, etc. Since real property as the tax base of a community co nstitutes the bulk of local tax income, exemptions from such taxes are coming in for increasing criticism. Recent court cases in Pittsburgh have struck down the challenge to such exemptions by declaring unconstitutional an ordinance that would hav e permitted the cit y of Pittsburgh to levy a tax on the gross receipts of hospitals. The court held that such an ordinance was not legal und er th e prese nt Pennsylvania State Constitution an d in the statute currently sup plementing the Constitution and providing for tax exe mption, the General County Assessment Law of House of Representatives to change the administration of real es tate tax assessments and tax exemption s. A special committee of the House of Representatives is prese ntly hearing testimony from interested parties relative to this problem. Hearings were held in Pittsburgh in th e middle of January. Additional hearings were scheduled for Philadelphia this past week, and it is expected that h earings will be held in Harrisburg Feb . 5 and 6. I have been designated as the spokesman for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Indep endent Colleges , a group composed of Wilkes, King's, Misericordia, Scranton, Marywood and Keystone Juni or College, to present the position of our lo cal institutions relative to the proposed legislation. dens. Under the first or the "p ubli c burden " standard, the exemption is justified on the ground that the organizatio n is assuming a public service which the government would hav e to ass ume if the exempt organization did not. Under the second , or " humanitarian" standard, the exemption is ju stified on the gro und that humanitarian or sociall y desirable activities which the organization is performing should be encourag ed, even though the gove rnm ent would not oth erwise be forced to assume the burden of carrying out the activities.

To the Editors: Acknowledqinq Students Lately, current terms heard on our campus include "cliches" such as misinformation , un informed , credibility gap, and communication gap. "Cliches" only in the respect that they have been heard so often and the re has been little attempt if any to correct these problems . For undoubtedly, they are problems . The students were told last week that they must be a little more patient. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a good thing, this is not to be disputed. But, many students should' stop being reminded that they should be patient and should be congratulated because they are. Here we have a student body of educated, industrious, free-thinking students who are writing proposals for things that many schools take for granted. Yet, we must be patient and be satisfiied to remain stagnant. Students show respect for their Administrators because they use "proper channels" and have been patient. They are willing to understand that the Administrators have other things to do besides consider a trivial open -housing proposal. Yet, the fact remains that talk of openhousing began last February, not this February, and that proposals have been submitted since October of this year. Students are told that they are disinterested in the "happenings" at Wilkes College. Many of them work, however, or have other outside activities. On the other hand, how many times have the Administrators visited the Com mons to have lunch and discuss things with students, or stop in a dormitory, or attend a class meeting? Students are showing their interest in the school by writing constructive proposals and waiting. And the Administrators are showing their interest by reading the proposals and making suggestions. Yet, the students must be patient. And the credibility, communication gap, misinformation, uninformed element still exists at Wilkes. What can be done? Maybe the time has come to acknowledge the students . With Manv Thanks The Beacon staff experienced one of journalism's worst nightmares last Mon day afternoon when we were informed by the printers that our copy had been lost or stolen. After putting in many long hours Sun day afternoon and evening, the realization that everything is gone causes a moment of sheer panic and despair. It is to the credit of a dedicated staff that ou r editors did not pause to ask questions which would waste time. Feeling as if we were putting out a daily edition , we plunged in to do again the entire issue. Mary Kazmierchak, Marlene Augustine, Mary Covine, Hedy Wrightson, George Pagliaro, and Pete Herbst all re-wrote their stories , then copyread and headlined them. Ronnie Lustig came up with new ad layouts, and Nancy Tubbs and Linda De Vaul efficiently typed everything that was thrown at them. Roy Hollabaugh and Caleb McKenzie trudged through the pouring rain to bring us rough drafts of their stories. George, Nancy, and Sally Donoho lugged heavy typewriters to the office (in the same pouring· rain) so that more people could type at one time. Mr. Moran, our advisor, joined in to type stories, help with headlines and supervise hectic page lay-outs . He cancelled his night class to leave his students free to help in the office - and Judy Tobin, one of his students who has not been a member of our staff, offered to come down to help out , rather than take advantage of the unexpected holiday from class. And so that we would not be famished, our advisor brought us some very welcomed salami sandwiches and cokes! But the help did not end there . We also want to acknowledge the help of Miss Lampe, who graciously called the girls' housemothers to arrange late curfews. Denny Brew and David Hoffman came down to see if there was anything two inexperienced friends could do to help us. Tom Grant offered us moral support something we needed at that point as much as we needed quick headlines. Jay Goldstein informed us that the Student Government coffee-pot was free for our use if we found it hard to keep awake. Later Jay and Dr. Michelini came to the office with doughnuts and milk. All this sounds small on paper - but in the face of disaster, it's heartwarming to know that a good-neighbor policy does exist. We are proud to have such a loyal staff and friends. With many thanks, this issue is dedicated to them . Due to the vain attempts of concerned students who have been ing to achieve some progress in changing the present grading system a pass-fail system, I would like to offer an alternate suggestion. would be along the same lines as the present one, with the excep that instead of flat 2's or 3's, etc., students would be given the co grades they earned in that semester's tests, which would be an extension of our system . ~t Since teachers usually mark tests on percentages or by other means such as 3.3 or 2.7, I think this practice should be carried out in computing the final averages and cumulative averages. For example, a student who receives grades of 2, 2, 3, 2, and 2 in one semester's courses in the present system would receive a final ave rage of 2.2 for that semester. These grades show no indication of the true capabilities and, above all, the true accomplishments of the student. I suggest that teachers give th e student the exact grade he receives, that is, with reference to the previously mentioned marks, 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, · 2.7, a nd 2.7. These grades average to 2.76, which is the more co rrect average of the student's work, rather than the 2.2 he would receive under the system now in effect. When a student receives a 2 or a 3 in a course, it does not show whether it was a high or low C or B. Under my suggested system, this would be indicated. This system would give students a better chance in their academic careers in which so much emphasis is placed on grades , instead of degrading their accomplishments as has been done. Perhaps this is why it has not been tried. It may be that students are not supposed to have a fair chance and receive what they deserve and actually do get even though their official grades don't show it. But eve n though it may be fair, and it would · give everyone a better chance of improving their academic standing, I think it should be tried. · tleacclf J [ccncrnic P,-c,nptJ j,.ate ~t(ltt To the Editors: I am writing this letter in re to the Beacon's financial status. cording to previously pub · figures, Student Government ted the Beacon $11,500 for the l 1970 school year.

Post Compiles Progression Of Vietnam War WHAT• WHERE• WHEN Date Announced For Registration �Friday , February 6 , 1970 THE BEACON Page 4 Students of Art I RIEPORTIER Ar lARGIE I Holding Now that a new semester has begun, it is time for students to brush up on their old teacher-brownie-ing techniques . Now, I realize that most dedicated American college students recoil in horror and disclaim any knowledge of such a dreadful thing! But for those of yo u who are willing to relax principles in the interests of a good grade, I am passing alon g some time-honored techniques. The first step in the process begins with your note-taking techniques. To really impress a prof, I suggest that you sit in the front of the lec ture hall diligently writing away - to demonstrate graphically that you r ealize the value of the words of wisdom popping out of his mouth . He need never know that you have just completed a letter to dear Aunt Mildred! All h e knows is that you have been writing frantically, covering reams of paper. This techn ique can be taken a step further. When the last bell has rung, pause and write a few more hurried lines. The prof will notice you sitting there trying to put down those last few words he rushed to say in those last 30 seconds. Maureen Klaproth Another approach that always se ems to work, is to ask questions. However, it is best to realize that this is more delicate ground. In asking a question ,- you are always taking a chance that the prof won't know the answer. When this nightmare occurs, you can be sure h e will feel embarrassed. Your grade will go down in dir ect proportion to his embarrassment. Now, there are several ways to assure that such moments do not occur. First of all , find out if yo ur prof has p ublished anything. If so, run out and find a dusty copy somewhere, and compose your qu es tion from a point he made. This assures you that he is a t leas t vagu ely fa miliar with the material. (Only vaguely, because profs are notoriously absent-minded , even about their own stuff!) If you want a few extra points adde d on to your extra points, make certain you m en tion his work of gen ius in front of the class . Yo ur grade will go up in direct proportion to the insecurity of his ego . Exhibit At Conyngham The student exhibit now on display at the Conyngham Annex Gallery is composed of work don e by first year oil painting students. Th e exhibit generally shows a lack of individual techn,i que; but some paintings seem to succeed in dev eloping estab li sh ed styles. The overabundance of "still life ", is und erstandabl e in a first year course, and not as totally regretable as their constant appearances in Senior exhibits. Some of the paintings have a certain life and knowl e dg e of the m edi a which th e artist has succeeded in genera ting. "Charity," by Clarence Hoffner has a fine quality of d esign , and does an admirable job of resurrecting a "pop art" theme. Another painting, "A ft er Dark" , by Maria Grizzuti, shows a firm knowledge of co lor. The choice of pigments and their application show a definitely promising direc tion for Miss Grizzuti's work. It is the opinio n of this reviewer that this show shows an exce llent beginning for th e students; but it is hoped that their work will continue.Th at way it ma y again b e reviewed for personal statement as well as technical awareness. Nominations Held; Freshmen Officers Will Be Elected Fres hman Class nominations You'll probab ly find that he hasn't publish ed.

If you ar e a girl, th e height of yom grade may rise in direct proportion to the h eight of yo ur skirt. If yo u're a m a le of th e species, you'll probably find better fock dealing with women teachers . It doesn 't take a very de ep un derstanding of fe mi nine nature to know that the dear old spinster you hav e for English wi ll listen more kindly to your pleas for fairer marking, if you first notic e ho w fl attering her ha irdo is . And if you must go to a male teac her , don't appear as a chain-smokin g, long-haired, bell-bottomed arrogant hippie, unless of course, he is! Now suppos e it is the end of the semester and yo u hav e faithfully followed th e tec hniqu es d esc ribed above , an d hav e thrown in a fe w of yo ur own ideas for good m easure. You flunked out anyway. [That's one of th e funny things about brownie-ing te chniqu es - th ey rare ly work if you happen to fa il every exa m.) But don 't despair - yo u sti ll hav e seve ral alternatives left. You can try a last-minu te plea - telling the prof how yo ur grandmother died (unless yo u a lread y told h im that when you didn't ha nd in your term paper], how your brother just join ed a hippi e commune in New Mexico, how your draft numb er is 1 2, and you've be en trying to find yourself among all the irreleva n ces of college. [And hope the prof did not find you at the basketball game last night!] If that do es not work, yo u still have several alternatives. You can commit hari- kari, like a Japanes e student, to preserve your honor. If you 're not Japan ese, yo u can always join yo ur brother in th e hippie co mmun e in New Mexico. You can join VISTA and do yo u r "thing" for mankind. (But don't lose yo ur h ead and jo in the Marines - that's what you came to college to avoid, remember?) If VISTA's not yo ur bag, yo u can always marry money, or at least someone who has mon ey. Now I know you are an all-American, clean-l iving, fr eck le-face d co llege student, who wouldn ' t dream of marryin g for anything but love.

Rather than laud or dispraise the costumes, camera angles, direc to rs, and players, and compare their current styles with the ir previous ones ; I pause to remind you that Nixon Agnew & Co . are still playing games with our lives. The lesser but far more important of the two films presented was a Vietnam documentary. It offered no opinions on the war; it simply prese n ted the war, whi ch this writer found to be a glimpse of cynical inhumanity, beyond comm ent. It r eminded m e of a Manuscript story from last year written by Jack Jar ecki, Editor of the Wyoming Valley Fre e Press . His story was one of war. It begins and ends with id entically worded paragraphs . Similiarly, th e scenes from the docum entary could hav e been shown in any order without making any diff erence . One could view almost first hand, the efficiency of the med-eva c crews. The Pentago n spokesmen, in the ir endless swaggering are quick to po int out that the sold ier wounded in Vi et nam can often b e on an operating table quicker than h e could if h e were wounded in the states. It is unkind, how ever, to ask them wh y Americans are getting wounded in Vietnam at all. The movi e also shows the human e side [th e "rea l" side) of our fighting men. Administering first aid at refugee camps, (again, unkind to ask why eve n there are refug ee camps,) being good guys with the civilians, and even h_elping to d eliver a bab y, something which makes one wonder how the people of Southeast Asia ever managed to have babies without us. Most soldiers believe they are in Vi e tnam through no fault of their own, and they know that they aren 't rea ll y bad guys, they unfortunately are made to by powers beyond their co n trol, look that way. Overall the movie brings to light what can be best summed up b y M,1ry McCarthy 's suggestive line of United States involveme n t when 3h e d escribed it as "Uncle Sam w ith candy in his pockets . .. " A pair of amusing mini-operas were performed last Friday night at the Wilkes College Center for th e Performing Arts. The operas proved to be full of hijinks and humor. The first of the two offerings was a brief operatic spoof written by modern composer Gail Kubick, "Bosto n Bak ed Beans ". This opera had its debut at the New York Mu· seum of Modern Art in 1952. Since it is the story of Clementine and how she "got her man, " it employs the song "Clementine" as its main theme, bu t into the score are interpolated strains of melodies from sources such as Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony," Rimsky-Korsakov'1 " Scheherazade" and the song "Mo onlight Serenade ." Directed by Richard Chapline of the Wilkes Music Department, the opera employed a small orchestra conducted b y Richard Probert an starred Rita Singer in the role o Clementine and Rob ert Graham· the role of John Harvard. The second piece, quieter style, ne vertheless gave one som thing to think about. Entitl "Many Moons" by Celius Doughe ty, adapted from material by Jam Thurber, it tells of Princess Leno (Arlene Kuni gel], who wants h father the ki ng [Dennis English), t give her the moon.

M. Augustine Pretty Student From Iran Adjusting to Campus Lile On one hand she looks like any other pretty college coed running around in m ini-skirts , cramming for chemistry exams, primping her hairdo for a photo, and joining gabfests with her dorm-sisters . On the other hand, she is a petite Moslem who has traveled halfway around the world - yet still looks as if she would fit into the Arabian Nights. Actually Flora Najafi fits somewhere in the middle as East meets West. The 19-year-old freshman calls Tehran, Iran, home. Already she has spent a year in the United States, so she is at ease in her student rol e, and is candid in h er opinions on both Iran and h er temporarily adopted home . She came to the U.S. last February, and spent the first months in Washington D.C. studying English. Her first semester at Wilkes, she lived with the Clements Solinsky family in Wilkes-Barre. Their daughter, Deborah, is a student at the college. In Janu ary, she moved into Emerson Hall, in order to experience college dormitory life. A conversation with Flora may cover many topics, for her command of English is excellen t. She explains that she studied English in high school for six years, but that she did not take the subject too seriously at the time. However, it is now a matter of course for h er to pick up an English novel to read. Father and Sons by Turgenev is her most recent favorite, but she confesses that she has always favored novels by French and Russian authors. She has settled into the American pattern of life easily, but admits that some things take time to get used to. Her father is a Suprem e Court judge in T ehran . Her tightly knit family consisted of her parents, a brother, Faade, 10, and a sister, Farideh, 21, who is now in London stud ying nursing. Flora finds the family circle weaker in this country. She was amazed to hear children -arg uin g with their parents, and living their own lives. "And here you tell things to your best friend . At home we talk to our mother or sister about everything," she added. She quickly dispels many of our antiquated ideas abou t Iran. "There are not camels walking down the streets of our city," she tells listeners. "Your co n ceptions of Persia are outdated - we are a modern country." According to Flora, the main differences between citi es are ones in architecture. Iranian buildings usually have flat roofs and are built of stone or cement rather than NOTICE New Beacon office hours have een schedul ed and will be Monays 11 a.m. - 3 p .m., Tuesdays 1 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Any questions and phone calls will be answered during these times.

She finds Americans in general very friendly and helpful. "You hav e to realize that there are good people and bad people everywh ere, and you ca nno t judge a whole nationality on the basis of just a few people. Americans go out of their way to help you - and they are very curious about other people's customs," she went on. "When I first came to Wilkes, I wanted to wear a sign saying who I was and where I came from, becaus e I would have to answ er the same questions ten times a day. But then I realize that people were just being nice to me." Flora is one dorm student who has no complaints about the "caf" food. She exp lains that Americans are used to home-cooked food, and, :.J □ fl □ :J □ 0 □ □ □□ -1 :J'.J:J O 'J O □ Cl:J □O '.J:J □ O:JJ"J7 r:J'.JQ 7:J :J'.J'.J □□ m:m □ □ : I PIZZA CASA 24 PUBLIC SQUARE, WILKES-BARRE Restaurant-Cocktail Lounge Spoclallzln1 In Home Made lt1ll1n Foods . . therefore, are fussier about the fare . "But it is all new to me, so I like it!", sh e said. She enj oys American films, and lists Romeo and Juliet as her favorite - though she had difficulty understanding the Shakesp earean dialogue. But her favorite actor is French, not American - Alain DeIon. Dating customs are different in Iran. Girls usually date men who are at least ten years older, because a man is expected to b e established in business before he considers marriage. It is common for 18 yearold girls to marry men of 30 or 35 . Flora is a Moslem, and finds some hum or in the diffi culties involved in trying to practice her r eligion in this country. Follow ers of Islam are expected to pray fiv e times a day, and must be clean from head to toe to do so. During the sacred month of Ramadan, Moslems must fast from sunrise to sunset. Two days during this mon th are mo st important, but Flora b ecame ill trying to follow her customs in her new environm ent. Flora is not sure what th e futur e holds. If she is successful with her chemistry major, she would like to pursue a master's degree. In any event, she will re turn to Iran fill e d with sto ries about her years a t Wilkes College. oo □o □ o □ o □□□□□ o □□□a o □ o □oo□□ oo □ oo □□□□□o □□□ □□□ □□o □o PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS o □o □□□□□□□□□□□□□□ :::ia □□ oo::,::,oa □□□□ ::i □ o □□□□:,:iooc1c1r1_;J ~1 Ravioli ' s Gnocchi 's Macaron i • Home Made Chill, Lasagna Spaghetti Trips Wilkes-Barre Phone 824-3367 125 Y ears of Pharmacy Greeting Cards □□ □ □ a□ o □ a □ u □a □ uo o uouu rJ :J □ □ l 1u □□ u □□ □ □ □ u □ o u o oou □□□□ o Contemporary Cards BOOKS - PAPERBACKS & GIFTS RECORDS - 22 Public Square Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18701 Dial : 823-1155 Now Two Locations The young look of .. misterJ~ GATEWAY SHOPPING CENTER EDWARDSVILLE, PA.

Steve Kaschenbach assured Colonel fans that he had not lost any zip after a semester layoff by recording a pin in 46 seconds. Kaschenbach, out for the first semetser on account of illness, brought his record to 2-0 with the clamp. Al Zelner, wrestling at 167, recorded his seventh pin in eight tries as he stacked up FDU's Dom Colaluce in 3 :33. He only needs one more fall to tie the all-time mark set during the 1967-68 season by Andy Matviak. Zelner has a perfect 8-0 record on the year. Jay McGinley opened the proceedings for the Wilkesmen with a 10-2 decision in the 118-pound match. Bill Lukridge followed with a forfeit in the 126-pound class. Mativak got back on the winning track in the 132-pound bout as he rode to an easy 11-4 victory over Skip Moran. The bout was tied at 0-0 going into the final period.

Highly rated Wagner came into town Wednesday and got just what they expected for a little over a half as the Colonels made several glaring mistakes, shot poorly, and showed little enthusiasm on the boardt Led by record shattering forward Ray Hodge, the Seahawks pressed Wilkes all over the floor and converted several Colonel turnovers into easy layups . Coach Rainey went to his bench early and often in an attempt to find a combination that would stem the tide, but his moves proved unsuccessful as the Seahawks coasted to a 56-32 halftime lead. The second half started out as a continuation of the first as the Seahawks easily solved Wilkes' full court press and increased their lead to 30 points early in the vespor session.

The NCAA should use its powers for the protec tion of the young men who are playing collegiate sports. It should protect them from colleges that step out of line, from recru iters who step out of bounds, and from unscrupulous promoters, eager for a piece of the actio n. But the NCAA's recent act ions against Yale University are completely indefensible. The NCAA put Yale on probation for two years because it permitted Jack Langer, a basketball player, to participate in the Maccabiah Games in Tel Aviv last summer. Then when Langer was declared ineligible this fall, Yale continued to us e him in basketball games. Consider this . The NCAA p ermi tted athChuck Lengle letes to participate in the Macc abiah Games, which are sort of a Jewish Olympics. Only basketball was singled out as ineligible for American participants . Yale, a school of high principles, decided to ignore the NCAA ban and allowed Langer to go. This done, the school felt it could not in all honesty forbid the young man to play with the Eli cagers this year. The Maccabiah Gamers were sanctioned by the Internation al Olympic Committee, higher sanction than the NCAA co uld give an yway. The Eastern College Athletic Conferenc e, an eastern arm of the NCAA and the largest conference in the country, was the first to put pressure on Yale. The ECAC is large enough to embra ce sc hools like Penn State and the Ivy League schools along with the likes of W,i._lkes, Scranton, East Stroudsburg and most of the state colleges and Middle Atlantic Conference Schools. The ECAC backed down from its pressure on Yale but the NCAA lowered the boom. The ECAC is still considering action . Ordinarily, probation would be relatively meaningless to an Ivy League school. Probation means a school can't participate in national championships. The Ivies haven't been too deadly in mo st national championships. BUT, Yale has one of the finest swimming teams in the land and has enjoyed this success for many years . The Elis always rank among the top five in national swim competition. Now . becaus e of the NCAA ruling, they can 't compete. Yale was wrong only in defying an irrational and indefensible NCAA edict. Should the colleges and the athletes be able to protest. such edicts? Perhaps · it is tim e for a complete overhaul of the NCAA's executive board . The NCAA exists for its members. If schools sho uld start to drop away, the NCAA would collapse. As the fight continues, the local colleges may be called upon to take a stand, either in the ECAC or the NCAA . We urge them, Wilkes, King 's, Scranton, and the like, to support Yale and the Ivy League position on this. Any less would make them no better than the NCAA. In fact, the three local schools, acting in concert, co ul d start a mov ement within the ECAC or the NCAA that co uld have the probation rescinded . The NCAA should not be permitted to take its squabble with the AAU this far. Ordinarily, we fee l government intervention in athletics is a bunch of nonsense stirred up by a pu blicity-conscious co ngressma n. But thi s time, if the colleges fail to act on their own behalf, a congressional investigation, already called for, is in order. The University of Texas rece'ntly announced that Jimmy Stre e t, star quarterback for the Longhorns, has dropped all his co urses. This action was announced six days prior to finals. "He was so far beh ind in his work he felt he had not done justice to them," said Lan Hewlett, intercollegiate athletics counselor who is known better as the Longhorns' "brain coach ." Hewlett a lso acknowledged that "he has a speaking enga ge ment nearly every night." Street said he had "about a C-plus average going into th e fall semes ter. He was afraid that being behind in his work mi ght ca us e him to "mess up" on a final and ruin his chance to play baseball. Hewlett said Street has statem ents on file with us from all four of his teachers that at the time of h is withdrawal he was passing. The courses Street dr opped were in accounting, insurance , real esta te, and statistics. Since Street was PROBABLY receiving financial aid in so me form or another, we wonder if this makes the crack signal-caller a "p-r ofessional" by today's standards . If this is what is necessary to make a grid team number one in th e nation , they can have it . . . lock, stock, and barrel! * * * * * The Sunday Independent's eastern collegiate wrestling poll has placed the Colonel matmen ninth behind such schools as Navy, Penn State, and Army.

As region al leaders sought to attract modern industries, they were made aware that new technological industries depended upon education. Recognizing that sound educa tional institutions contribute to the creation and maintenance of a vi able, vigorous and progressive community, industrial leaders of the region have encouraged the growth of their existing colleges. In consequence of their support offered by personal friends and industrial leaders, the six independent colleges of Northeastern Pennsylvania have enlarged their services and improved their work. They have received much from their friends and have contributed much to the regional renaissance. They have enriched the area by their cultural, practical and academic in fluences.

A second avenue 'that might be explored is some reimbursement by the State to local municipalities for real estate assessments lost fo r tax purposes by virtue of their exemp· tion, yet providing services of bene· fit to the State. For example, utili· ties now pay taxes on their gross receipts. These taxes are placed upon gross receipts rather than upon property because utilities serve th e people of a vast area in many municipalities. Unfortunately, these taxes are not shared with the mu· nicipalities as they should be. The liquid fuels tax is a tax on gasoline and fuels used by motor vehicles in the Commonwealth and is shared with communities to assist in the maintenance of roads that traverse these local communities and use their land space.

Wilkes Sponsors Summer Workshop Wilkes College again will offer a Summer Theater Workshop program that grants credit to high school students, undergraduates and teachers working for advanced degrees, according to Tom Kelly, director of Wilkes Summer College. The project, in cooperation with Lehigh University, is scheduled to open July 5 for four weeks, concluding August 2. Workshop, initiated in 1967 under Title 3, ESEA, has been ranked among the sound summer projects through the State by a team from Pennsylvania Department of Education. It was developed to provide a challenge and creative experience for high school students interested in dramatics and to prepare teachers for their work in educational theater on the secondary level. In two previous summer sessions, more than 100 students and 30 teachers have participated in the program. Alfred S. Groh, director of the workshop, has prepared the four-week program to avail students instruction in dramatic arts, together with practical theater experience in production, acting and directing. Public performances of plays and musicals will complement the course. Summer Theater Workshop will offer college credits of three to six hours to high school students preparing to enter college; to college students working toward a bachelor's degree and to secondary school teachers earning credits toward a master's degree in education. Credits are transferable to other institutions. Upon successful completion of the course, high school students will receive a certificate of achievement. Complete information may be obtained at Wilkes College Center for the Performing Arts. Come Room Plans Coin Acceptance At last Thursday night's student government meeting, the New Committee, represented by Howard Tune, disclosed the Administration's acceptance of its proposal to make a game room on the second floor of the Commons. The center will be located in the east room of the second floor. Under these conditions, the chairs now, occupying this area will be relocated in the west room, thereby leaving the Faculty Lounge unaffected. The center will be open to all students whenever possible to coincide with the hours of the Commons. Roth Novelty Company will supply the game machines which will include: Pinball machines, a "Computer quiz", ping-pong tables, and a juke box. (Continued on Page 8) After the Meeting During the meeting hundreds of students gathered outside Weckesser Annex chanting and carrying signs. Following the meeting, Drew Gubanich and Dan Kopen stood on cars to re port the results and calm the students. The students then assembled in the gym to ask Dean Ralston and student leaders questions concerning the proposals. Dean Ralston said he was unable to give the reasons. At presstime the students were in the gym planning to stay overnight and many intend to boycott classes. Activity was confined to the gym. TO MEMBERS OF S.G. AND I.D.C. OPEN-HOUSING: There will be no change in the present policy. You have recently said, and written, that you are impatient. May I advise you that I am both impatient and concerned. I recently received a demand from four students that I account to them for not responding to their demands . Several years ago, a girl demanded that the College provide a place for men and women to "shack-up" over the weekends. On December 28, 1968, Conyngham Hall burned, and there is strong suspicion that it was started by an arsonist. On December 30, 1068, I advised the Board of Trustees that the building must be replaced if we were to continue our courses in art, engineering, mathematics, psychology, and environmental science. And to start the campaign, I pledged a sum that at present rates of interest would provide annually an amount sufficient to cover the costs of tuition, board, room, books, and incidentals for one student. Last winter, two students obtained keys and removed $2700 worth of equipment from college buildings. Last year, a Molotov cocktail was set off in Stark Hall and small fires were started in Weckesser Annex and Pickering Hall. On February 5, 1970, we were advised that only one insurance company would give us coverage when our present policy expires on February 14. Within the past month, outsiders have been reported in one of our dormitories. Recently, we have received demands that men's dormitories be opened to women and that women's curfews be eliminated. It has also been suggested that the College close its dormitories and dining hall so that it can limit its activities to the classroom and laboratory. Four years ago, an outside and paid organizer began a campaign to create unrest among students. (a) He admitted that his purpose was to destroy. (b) After {wo years of effort, he was joined and supported in his efforts by two other outside organizers. (c) They conducted private interviews - a technique which they called "The Facilitator" - in the hope of discovering disturbed and dissatisfied students who would submit d emands that no responsible administration could accept. (d) During this past summ er, the first organi zer advised me th at they would " take-over" th is year. (Perhaps his threat was right.) (e) He succeeded in persuading several stud ents to join him. They fo llow ed him and gave up a ll op- OFF-CAMPUS LIVING : This proposal will be sent to the Board of Trustees with approval from the Administrative Council. The details must be worked out with this body with pertinance to the legal requirements and parental consideration. ABOLITION OF CURFEWS: This proposal will also be sent to the Board of Trustees. The approval made by the Council allows girls 21 and over to be exempt from curfew hours. It also allows junior and seniors girls to be exempt from curfews with parental permission. The Preside nt 's Council will work out the details of this proposal; the next scheduled meeting is Feb. 18. portunity for the their education. completion of I report these things to you in the hope that it may give you some understanding of our concern. It is our responsibility to assure the stability and growth of the College. It is your responsibility to take ad vantage of the opportunities which brought you to Wilkes. Over the years, I have remained at Wilkes because of my faith in its students. And in the past they have justified this faith. I am proud of the accomplishments of our alumni; when I meet with them, they sustain me and encourage me. I suppose I have the same faith in you, but this faith is tested by some of yo u who follow the Pied Piper. The time has come for you to give thought not to yourselves but to the future of your College. .You can join with those who have made this College, and you can add to it; OR, you can demonstrate your impatience by following the Pied Piper. It is time that you choose your course: you can participate in a constructive effort that requires patience and painstaking planning, or you can tear down that which others have built for you. I think I know your decision, for my faith is based upon experience wit h many generations of students and you are not as different from them as some of you say you are. You live in different times and respond to the influences of these times - both good and bad. But I believe that, like those who have preceded yo u, you are seeking a full m eas ure of happiness, a sense of accomplishment, and a modicum of self-esteem. I say these things to you in hope and with trepidation. I hope yo u will abandon the Pied Piper and sustai n my faith in the students of Wilkes College. Without this fait h , how can I ask others to join our efforts to strengthen our College? l! jl ii �Friday, February 13, 19 THE BEACON Page 2 W1LHA Editorials By the time you read this Beacon, the Administration will have communicated to the students concerning the three proposals up for review before the Administrative Council. The three proposals include: open-housing, off-campus living, and women 's curfews. It seems the decision will express more than a simple yes or no. It will prove more than the decision of a decisionmaking body. The meeting at 11:30 a.m. Thursday is for the sole purpose of communicating to the students. Because Dr. Eu gene S. Farley had to leave town early, the Council was unable to reach a dE:cision . Therefore, the need to communicate to the students was established and met. Throughout the entire period of considering proposals, writing proposals, and finally presenting them, students and Administration have been discussing. The Administration laid down the guidelines that students must follow. The students have done their share also. They have been patient and willing to compromise. After all, these proposals were all student initiated . What else can be said at this point? Regardless of the outcome, much has been accomplished and proved . Communication and recognition . The ability for two groups, opposing in many respects, to communicate and try to understand the feelings, desires, and goals of the other. The recognition by the Administration for the students and the students for the Administration. Make Things Happen! If you are a Wilkes College student with one hour a your services are needed desperately. The YM -YWCA conducts a tutoring center for students from the first to the twelfth grades . In order to continue the program , the center needs new tutors in all subjects science and mathematics. particularly About 90% of the pupils are from low income families. By putting education on a personal rather than an institu tional basis, volunteer tutors often become the pupils' link for remaining in school. The Tutorial Program is made possible by funding until June 30 by the Commission on Econom ic Opportunity of Luzerne County by OEO grant. If you cannot spare the hour a week, at least take five minutes to writP- to Mrs. William D. Jones, chairman, Tutorial Advisory Committee, YMCA, to encourage a continuation of the program. This is your opportunity to help students who may be failing, who are potential drop-outs, who are underachievers - and who need your personal attention.

This is your chance to make it happen. -;:; - {elite,- P,-eelairnJ AptttAf 1ewttl't/ Arn11ieeltt ~ttleJ The Outcome? week to spare - \ol Lit.. Letters to the Editor To the 'Editors: I find myself believing that if one wishes to find a college campus on which lack of concern exists Wilkes is the place to look, and you surel.y do not have to look far to find it. The college offers to all students a yearbook, whose publishing costs average $11 .00 per book, available to students for a nominal charge of only $2.00. Orders have been in the process of being taken since the beginning of the school year back in September for the 1970 Amnicola and to date only 300 students of the total enrollmen t of 2,500 have ordered yearbooks. During this time the AMNICOLA staff has manned the office for the convenience of students who wish to order. Notices have been posted on all bulletin boards on campus, and the BEACON has also carried information concerning the 1970 AMNICOLA. My staff members have gone out of their way in seeking subscriptions for the yearbook, only to be confronted with rejections. No one on my staff gets any prize for selling yearbooks; they're just a good bunch of involved people who really care. Unfortunately, the majority of students on this campus just "couldn't be bothered" about such ."high schoolish" things as yearbooks. To those who are concerned the AMNICOLA office is located in the Student Organization Building, 76 W. Northampton Street. We also give the students the privilege of having the books mailed directly to their homes. Incidently, the AMNICOLA is published for all students at ·wilkes; und erclassmen, day students, dorm students, and of course, seniors. Please allow me to close with this thought; a yearbook is a funny thing, it may not mean much to you now, but in a few years when your college days are only memories the AMNICOLA will be able to provide you with a recollection of some of the most cherished moments of your life. Think about it. Sincerely yours, Thomas J. Cardillo Editor-in°Chief, 1970 AMNICOLA 'fJeieeJ q,-ipe To the Editors: Judging from the replies by the staff of the Beacon to certain letters to the editor, it seems that the staff or who ever writes the replies does not know why their paper is held as the laughing stock of the Friday lunches. One good reason is the editorial of December 19, which stated that it would be nice to have open men's dorms, but if open dorms are not obtained it would be alright. Alright for who? The vote in favor of open men's dorms was 392 to 7. The "Acknowledging Change" editorial of December 12 sounds more like an apology for making a stand rather than discussing the issue of meaningful change. How can the students at Wilkes take up the "Forward Thrust" when they are living with backward concepts? In the "Bring Us Together" Editorial of January 30, the editorial looks more like it was written b y the Council of Deans instead of suggested by them as stated. If the Beacon really thinks that the dorm students have confidence in "Administrative Probing" or that the dorm students should have more patience on proposals brought up last 'September, the Beacon is only kidding itself. In conclusion, as long as the Beacon insists on running phony editorials and not seriously dealing with campus issues, it will never gain the respect of the students at Wilkes College.

In fact, every week I read Miss Klaproth 's column just to see if her journalism has improved. I struggle with boredom to make it through to the closing lines only to realize, once again, I have been insulted. I am not interested in her private dreams and if I wanted to read about the practical jokes of roommates, I'd buy a copy of "Teen Magazine." There are many intelligent people among the student body and faculty who are involved in the social, economical and political activities at Wilkes College . What they have to say would be more interesting than a pretend dialog between Paul Newman and David Frost. The current controversies on campus about open housing and unlimited curfews would be more appropriate than a descriptive paragraph of the hick boyfriend from Shirley's past. Perhaps Miss Klaproth is at large in the wrong places. In that case, someone should remove the blind fold from her eyes so she can stop playing blind man's bluff and do some serious writing on th e college level. Sincerely, Sarah Richmond (Ed. note: As this is a letter to the editor concerning myself, and I am co-editor, I am taking the liberty of offering some advice to Miss Richmond -and other critics who "struggle with boredom" each week. Obviously, you anticipate such boredom by now, so perhaps you should not force yourself to read the column. (Surely, this solution must have occurred to you.) My reaction is one of pity that so many people lack a sense of humor - such an existence must be de- pressing.

Pines The Vietnam War, to the surprise of many, including Senator Fulbright, may be a dead political issue, according to Vice-President Spiro Agnew. It seems, how eve r, that if the recent "Wilkes College Debate on Vietnam" was any indication of the general electorate, VicePresident Agnew is suffering from a most unfortunate misapprehensio n . The recent College debate was an attempt perhaps to clarify the issues concerning the war. Essentially and unfortunately, the parlance, involving Professor Cox and Professor Kimber, was no more than a flat presentation of the atrocious charac te rized by occasional rhetorical puffery, parrying, use of impressive testimonials, and prolixity. Primarily, the debate suffered from a lack of dir ec tion . It seems academically presumptuous to sponsor a general debate on the Vietnam War between two professors, with two diverg ent yet basically sound approaches, and expect anything more than a palatable presentation of the moral and diplomatic co mplexities of such an international problem. Professor Kimber approached the dais first and argued against the Vietnam War on a moralistic basis, attacking th e atrocities of war. To think that anyone would have challenged such an argument would be rather absurd . Recognizably, a defense of the war on a nihilistic ethical-moral basis would require an elaborate system of perverted ethics, the kind that only Albert Camus' Caligula could have produced . Professor Kimb er's argument, how ever, acquired more concreteness when he summarized the tangled web of foreign involvemen t in the Vietnam War while emphasizing four essential points: (1) the U.S. has actually prevented any genuin e self-determination for fear of receiving the . same Vietnamese rejection that precipitated the French withdrawal from Vietnam ; (2) the late President Eisenhower in his memoirs acknowledged the fact that the economic advantages of acquiring a foothold in Southeast Asia are substantial; (3) that the U:S. Government's rationalization of its genetic involvement in the war is not substantiated by any scholar on Southeast Asian affairs [this became a moot point during the debate) ; and (4) so called victory can only be accomplished by genocide. The presentation was an admira'b le attempt to confro nt the opposite, more pragmatic point of view that Professor Cox repre sented with aplomb. While Kimber's argument cannot under any ci rcumstanc e be ignored, neither can those of Professor Cox be swept aside nor accepted without important res ervations. The impres sion of this writer was that the audience failed to consider Professor Cox's point of view. Cox, realizing the futility of arguing the war on a moral standpoint, maintained that one must consider the political-diplomatic repercussions of abrupt withdrawal. After tracing Western involvement in South east Asia (since 1898} and tastelessly asking whether there is something wrong with American presidents or those who elect them, Professor Cox stated that the main questions are whether the U.S . had a reason to b e in Vietnam and whether it sho uld immediately withdraw . The thesis of Professor Cox's argument, acknowledged as a r es ult of either Cox's implication or this writer's inference, is that su ch unfortunate happenings, like wars, are necess ary in order to maintain global security. 'Even a simple mind could understand the dangerous implications of such a contenti'on that would recklessly permit futur e political and immoral perpetrations . Granted, it is important to realize that one lives in a political world in which international peace is maintained by a balance of power and that human nature has a propensity to take advantage, oftentimes viciously, of those on the lo wer rings of th e hierarchic ladder. Yet it is indeed dangerous to cry out "global security threat" anytime peace is threate n ed. Perhaps President Nixon's new Asian policy is an attempt to prevent futur e disasterous and embarrassing occurrences while maintaining a parity in the international situation. Regarding the present onerous involvement of the United States in Vietnam, Professor Cox is correct in assuming that an abrupt withdrawal would indeed create serious repercussions in many respects and would threaten international stability, or a semblance thereof. Aside from prosaic basis and simplicity of his domino theory, Professor Cox's pragmatic and politically wise argument, was for many a flat presentation of the atrocious . In order to appreciate the Vietnam debate, if that can be done, it was necessary to realiz e the paradoxical nature of the world in which one lives . How does one maintain in ternational peace and a balance of pow er without negating one's moral values? Th e debate, in a sense, was nothing less than a presentation of two. men on stage, probably sharing the same desire for peace, yet unable to find workable solutions amidst a h eritage of errors .

Grick is majoring in business administration and would like to go into industry after graduation. Strengthening the Colonels off the boards and in the scoring department is another Montrose graduate, Da~e Kurosky. Kurosky was the leading scorer on his high school team in his senior year. With a little less fouling, Dave could be a tremendous boost for the Raineymen. His most outstanding performance this season came three weeks ago against a spirited East Stroudsburg squad. With the Colonels losing by eight points, Kurosky went to the boards and began to hit from the corner. The result was another Wilkes victory and a 19-point, 18rebound night for Dave.

Fearing that their policy of white supremacy over blacks may be jeopardized, South African officials refused t:> grant a visa to black American star Arthur Ashe which would have allowed Ashe to participate in the South African Tennis Championships. By doing so, that apartheid country has virtually sealed its own grave, not only in tennis competition, but also international athletics. It was banned from last year's Olympics even though it promised to enter black teams (all black teams). But keep in mind those black teams trained and dressed apart from the white teams. Tennis players and officials have bewailed the bigotry of South Africa, but perhaps words aren't enough. It would be a nice gesture on tennis' part if all tournaments of South Africa were •boycotted. Such overt and open bigotry cannot be accepted any longer. :i□□□□□□a□□□□□o□~□□□□□c□□o□□□□□□□□□o□□□C'□□o□o□□□□1 H. C.

The meet, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., will be wrestled on the Warriors' home mat. The charges of Coach Reese have responded well in their first tw.o major meets. Back on December 20, they lost a heartbreaker 21-19 to N.Y. Maritime, but since then have reeled off five straight wins, each being won by big scores. The two most significant ·o f these five came against Madison FDU and last w.e ek's opponent, Lycoming. Preparing for the coming match against Lycoming, the matrnen moved up a weight class to battle Madison. The result was a 42-0 victory and a good deal of momentum going into Lycoming. This momentum was present throughout the entire match, from Andy Matviak's record-setting accumulation of 27 points to Leo Roan's 8-0 decision to end the the meet. It seems as though each wrestler had this momentum and it should be maintained against Hofstra tomorrow and the Warriors on Wednesday. But the Lycoming victory was more than a simple 23-11 win. It was a little bit of revenge for the Blue and Gold against the Pete Herbst team that handed them their only defeat of last season. So with Lycoming out of the way, the matmen prepare to take on Hofstra, ·Stroudsburg, Hhaca, and Delaware Valley before competing in the post-season tournaments. Hofstra University could present the Reesemen with a stiff challenge. In its last two outings, Hofstra lost to New York Maritime, 20-16, but came back to defeat Harvard, 20-12. 1East Stroudsburg has also tasted defeat this season so it looks like a rough week for the Colonel matmen. Assistant Coach Ted Toluba considers Stroudsburg to be tougher than Lycoming, especially since "we'll •be wrestling on their mat." Looking ahead to the MA'C Tournament, Wilkes will be gunning for its ninth MA'C championship. Gettysburg currently holds the most number of titles with nine. Scheduled for March 6 and 7, the meet will be held at the Wilkes gym for the third time. Wilkes was the host in 1958 and 1966 and on both occasions the Wilkesmen took the title. Other coeds who participated are Carol Allen, Diane Dukas, Diane Force, Jo-Ann Gomer, Carol Hoffner, Debbie Koch, Maureen Kosmynka, Kathy Krute, Rita Ryneski, Although basketball is defined as a non-contact sport, speak to any Ruth Sharkus, Sandy Strevell, and ballplayer and find out differently.

It caused a few ripples in Shippensburg as well. Miss Susan Goodman, an assistant professor in the foreign languages department at Shippensburg State College, holds the role of Mrs. McAndrew, the silent wife of one of the Maguires. Comparing the life of a movie actress (which she left by choice) to her job as a teacher, Miss Goodman made the statement, "Acting just doesn ' t measure up to the art of teaching. Life as an actress is precarious and not very fulfilling. I am much more thrilled when a student learns something from me, than when I create a false image on the screen. " Few teachers have chosen their field over a "promising career in the movies ." Miss Goodman did, and, entering the profession with the attitude she takes, she must certainly be welcome. Elizabethtown College is one of 17 colleges involved in a program called Flint Introductory Physics Sequence. Discussing the four-semester program, Hubert M. Custer, head of the Department of Physics, stated, "Physics has always frightened the average student away. Up to this point, we were only getting the students who needed to take it REPORTER AT (Continued from Page 5) I see no solutions to the dilemma in sight, and I think the whole mess will eventually peter out. Making it up to the guys who paid for the ghastly mistake - well, I wonder if that will not be our penance knowing we cannot make it up to them ... As far as civil rights - my feelings are even simpler. We have legislated as much as we can. The real solution is left with each and every individual. You cannot legislate tolerance - it must come from inside. We must teach our children- after all, "You've got to be taught to be afraid, of people whose eyes are oddly made, or people whose skin is a different shade . . . " Perhaps that will be our greatest responsibility in bringing up the next generation - teaching them tolerance and peacefulness - so that there never again has to be an age like this one. What the world needs now is love, sweet love - and if we don't find it fast, we may not have a chance to find it at •all. (Continued from Page 6) 142-Dennis Verzera (W) dee.

The $4,000 allocated to Student Government will be primarily used for dances, films, and miscellaneous functions. The increased allotment for Homecoming and Spring Weekends will help facilitate obtaining bigger name concerts. And, the $10,000 for the Concert-Lecture Series will help expand the series for the forthcoming year. In the event that profits are realized from an activity sponsored through the Activity Fee, they will be placed back into the General Activities Fee Fund. The emphasis will be placed on campus-oriented activities including : concerts, dances, lectures, movies, theatrical performances, etc., for all Wilkes College students. In general, all Wilkes College students bearing their proper Wilkes College Identification Cards will be admitted free of charge to activities funded solely through money allotted from the activities fee fund. However, admission fees for student activities funded from the Activities Fee may be assessed only with the approval of Student Government and the Activities Fee Committee. Attendance at activities funded through the activities fee fund will be restricted to Wilkes College students, their dates, and invited guests of Student Government. An admissions fee may ·be charged to all persons in attendance who are not Wilkes College students. A new clause has been added to this Activities Fee proposal concerning debts and profits which may be incurred. All profits will be held in abeyance for the forthcoming year and all debts will be paid with monies allocated to the Student Government from a subsequent Activities Fee. This activities fee fund is not intended to cover events to which Wilkes College students have been traditionally admitted free, such as sports events, fine arts productions, recitals, etc. A student body vote will be conducted on February 24 in the Commns and the lobby of the New Men's Dorm. Tutor Program Effective By March 1st. In Dire Need Of Vo IUn tee rs Pupils in the first through 12th grades, 90% from low income families, await Wilkes College students in 15 YWCA tutorial centers. Volunteer tutors put education on a personal rather than an institutional basis. The subject acquires importance as it is meaningfully related to the tutored. Students learn when they see value in what is being taught them. ·Pupils need help in all basic subjects. The mathematics and science tutor shortage is critical. English, Latin, history, geography, reading, business subjects and language tutors are needed in the majority of centers. The county-wide pupil needs are mushrooming because of referral by both parochial and public school personnel. The tutorial program is made possible by funding until June 30 by the Commission on Economic Opportunity of Luzerne County by an CEO grant. Mrs. Edward R. Janjigian, coordinator, invites . you to check the list of centers and volunteer for the one most convenient. Volunteers may clip the coupon and give it to Ina Brown, head of Wilkes Tutoring Committee, or Larry Wallison on campus; leave it at the YM-YWCA switchboard; or come in to the tutoring office. Please call Tutoring office, 823-0181. Do not call centers. WILKES MEN & WOMEN! Do YOU have one hour to share? Hudson Community Center, Monday, Tuesday ·or Thursday, 6-8 p.m. Many tutors needed.

It was suggested to the Summer School 'Department that each of the two sessions be shortened to five weeks. It is feared, however, that a professor may not be able t-o complete a full course in that amount of time. It may also 'be too difficult for a student to cram a semester of study into five weeks, especially those who are entering Wilkes this summer and have never had a taste of college-level courses. Registration day for summer school has not been decided as yet, but tuition will remain the same $50 a credit. Physiological Psychology 203 will be new on the summer curriculum, as well as Environmental Science 101 and 102. (Continued Qn Page 8) F~,'~"~~:n~f:m~~~.~~~!~~~! stration came Saturday afternoon when the Administrative Council passed the principle of dormitory visitation, and gave SG and IDC the go-ahead for institution of the program by March 1, 1970. The proposal specifies that the responsibility for the governance will rest with the members of the individual male dormitories. The proposal also calls for visitati'on privileges to the male dormitories every weekend during the regularly scheduled spring and fall terms with the exception of vacations and summer re cess. The subject of acceptance or rejection by residents of individual male dormitories will take place in the first week of each semester to learn whether or not dormitory visitation will take place in each dormitory. Prior to June 1 -of each year, the entire program will be reviewed by IDC, SG and the Administrative Council, at which time suggeS tions for improving th e policies will 'be made. The status of the other two proposals pending before the Administrative Council was reported to the students last Thursday. Off-campus living was accepted by the Administrative Council and will be referred to the Board of Trustees for a final vote. The nocurfew proposal was accepted in part by the Council. Junior and seniors girls under 21 with parental permission and girls 21 will be exempt from curfews. The original proposal also included sophomore girls and second-semester freshmen. The proposal will be brought before the Board of Trustees on March 20 with the off-campus living proposal. The off-campus living proposal which was submitted by IDC ineludes the following: male and female dormitory students who have attained the age of 21 will be permitted to live off-campus without parental permission, and that all juniors and seniors who have not attained the age of 21 will be permitted to live off-campus with parental consent. The demonstrations began Thursday immediately after the students were informed of the decision made by the Administrative Council. Drew Gubanich, Dan Kopen and Dean George F. Ralston met the students at the gym to answer questions. When the reasons could not be given for the rejection of the dormitory visitation proposal the students decided to peacefully demonstrate until reasons would be given. At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, the group moved to the lounges of the New Men's Dorm to discuss and plan what action would ·b e taken. At a joint SG-IDC meeting held at 7 p.m. Thursday seven questions were formed to ask the Administrative Council concerning dormitory visitation. These questions were then presented to the students for approval. In the meantime, the Council of Deans and Dr. Eugene S. Farley had agreed to meet Friday morning to answer these questions. It was disclosed that the dormitory visitation proposal had been rejected -b ecause there was not adequate governance. It also is of note-worthy importance to mention that members of the faculty and the Deans were present Thursday and Friday night. At 3 p.m. Friday, SG and IDC met again to rewrite the dormitory visitation proposal. This was presented to the students late Friday evening. Also · at 7 p.m. Friday the presidents of male dormitories met to discuss plans for governance. Late Friday night, the students decided that they would continue their demonstration to prove that they were a unified body and that they should show their support for the proposal. So that the demonstration would continue peacefully and within all the rules all the girl dormitory students left the dorm around 2 a.m. to sign out of their respective dorms and then spent the night at the Hampton House dormitory. The girls then left Hampton House at 5 a.m. to return to the outer lobby of the New Men's Dorm to continue their demonstration. At 9 a.m. Saturday, SG, IDC, and the presidents of all dormitories presented the new proposal to th e Administrative Council. The Administrative Council then met immediately and in the early afternoon a decision was reached. �Page 2 Friday, February 20, 1970 THE BEACON Editorial Letters To The Editor Ka~e CcrnrnendJ ~tudentJ WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? It seems that this is not the time to be ashamed but, rather, a time to sit back and reflect upon the last week and learn, and give credit where credit is due . If anything, Wilkes College should be proud of itself and its actions, not embarrassed or humiliated. In the past, our campus has been a victim of communication and credibility gaps, and a general lack of interest ,in the affairs of the College. This situation is exactly what the students tried to correct. Their demonstration was not disorderly or without purpose. It was a coming together of students to learn reasons, to understand, and to show their strength in their pri nci pies. Perhaps the shame should not be with the students entirely, but for the conditions that caused the problem. Many people should learn to treat others as humans and give them the understanding that they expect themselves. Perhaps it should also be remembered that people do not like to be talked "at" but rather "to." And, perhaps people should learn the distinction between "listening" and "hearing," and "understanding" and "tolerating." We attend an institution where free thinking should be encouraged and adopted as a policy. Not condemned or subdued. Where understanding and communication should become a way of life, not to be saved for special occasions like last week. It is enlightening to think that students were willing to sit together and contribute the workings of their minds with constructive ideas, and programs for change . As far as giving credit where credit is due, a few things should be remembered and a few questions asked. It has been said that the proposal was passed because the channels were open. Let us not underestimate the effect of students who persistently waited for the answers to the questions and remained unified for dormitory visitation. On the other hand , why must these students underestimate the student leaders who worked for months on the proposals? Why do many students feel they are the only reason that the proposal was passed? Why do they fail to understand the touchy predicament that the student leaders were in? Did they ever consider that dormitory visitation did not take just two days but many months? If Wilkes College cannot acknowledge the peaceful wishes of the students or credit them with the reason for the demonstrations and admit the success of the students .. . And if people do not soon realize that other people should be understood and talked "to" and not "at" .. And if people do not acknowledge the hard work of others instead of taking all credit for themselves .. . Then nothing has been gained and nothing has been learned . 1 l\~) f ( ) ) ( ( l j --c:,-._;..--:?'.

Wilkes Student Teachers Assigned by David Kopelchny Most people have heard of the Iron Curtain, many have heard of the Bamboo Curtain, but only a few are consciously aware of the Taboo Curtain. The "Taboo Curtain" is maintained neither by law nor a military force . It is subtle, but its rule is inviolate. It is the iron hand in the velvet glove - the thorn beneath the rose . It is the same today as it was in the times of Socrates and Jesus - the eternal enemy of the pioneer. Safe behind its shield, popular opinion sneers at the unpopular. The pioneer of social thought finds his friends desert him; he becomes sneered at and avoided; he loses his means of livelihood; the news media deny him his right to defend his honest thought against his slanderers. The rule of the Taboo Curtain - the rule of society - is absolute. As individuals we must claim allegiance to orthodoxy and must suppress recalcitrant opinions. If we cannot discipline ourselves into acceptance, society will. · This brings us to the question of why? The Taboo Curtain is thrown up by a psychologically sick society, a society content to be as it is. A society that is blind to its ills and res-trictions, one afraid to face its shortcomings, or if it does see a problem, works to solve it 19th century fashion. No, it cannot be. To cure society of its traditions, its Victorian morals and ethics, its noncommittal to its members, it must change its thinking a-nd nature. It must integrate itself into the modern way of solving its problems of today in a modern 20th century manner. The minority pioneers of social reform must be heard or civilization will be at a standstill. The majority will say, "What's wrong with our society?" It shows how blind it can be. "It's been like this for years and has served us well."

The districts in which assignments are made are Crestwood Area, Northwest Area, Tunkhannock Area, Wilkes-Barre Area, Wyoming Area, Wyoming Valley West, and Nanticoke Area Schools. Various subject areas are represented by the many fields indicated by the student teachers. The fields represented are business education, history, chemistry, mathematics, Spanish, English, French, art, and music. Students will visit classrooms and .assist teachers once each week for six weeks prior to full-time involvement of responsibilities on March 16 for elementary, music, and art student teachers, and March 2 for secondary student teachers. In addition to the visitation days, students are presently involved in intensive study and development of methods and materials of teaching language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, art and music. Arranging the assignments for student teaching in the public schools is a responsibility that requires and receives careful attention from members of Wilkes College Education Department. The student is required to arrange transportation to the school in which he has been placed; Wilkes College does not assume this responsibility. The education department members do help in whatever ways they can by assigning students with cars to the same buil.ding with students who do not have cars so that they can share the rides. The riders are expected to share the cost of travel. Cooperating teachers are selected administrators . These teachers are from lists provided by the school expected to 'h<1ve the qualifications associated with a master teacher. Most school districts do not put co' opera ting teachers on their lists who have Jiad less experience in public school work.

That might not sound earthshaking to most of you, but the past three issues have been a baptism of fire for this new editorial staff! In three short weeks we have been bankrupt [almost), had our copy stolen (necessitating putting out an entire new issue m one day), and had to cope with student demonstrations. I must admit wondering in one of the chaotic moments last Thursday why students couldn't have ·been more cooperative and had their demonstrations on a Monday or Tuesday. Thursday afternoon is cutting a deadline close . ... But there have been moments to more than make up for all the chaos, and I do feel there is no job quite as rewarding as one on a newspaper. (There's none quite so frustrating either, but that's another story.) We owe a lot of people sincere thank-you's beginning with our printers, Llewellyn and McKane, who have bent over backwards to Maureen Klaproth help us through these hectic weeks . Last Thursday they promised to hold eight inches for the story on the proposals, and when Sally and I went in with approximately 28 inches of copy, they not only took it, but had the papers r eady at the usual time on Friday morning! Editorially we have already thanked those who helped put out the second issue two weeks ago, but I want to thank them again for their loyalty. And thanks also to those who have given us pats on the back after others have knocked us down . . . . FROM HERE AND THERE: - - Those of us who are juniors and seniors were reflecting on the newly approved proposals. We all agreed that it is difficult to believe this is the same school that had 9 p.m. freshman curfews three years ago, and such rules as no slacks in town or to classes. We've come a long, long way - peacefully. There are still things we'd like to see - a pass-fail grading system outside our majors, a voluntary cafeteria arrangement, a solution to the parking problem, and independent study programs in more areas. Let's hop e every step forward is taken in an orderly manner, demonstrating a maturity on th e part of Wilkes students. I'm relieved that the voices of reason triumphed over the voices ·calling for radical methods last week. We can be especially proud of our student leaders who kept open the channels through which the final approval came. - -I'd like to give a plug for a television show that is not part of the vast wasteland. It's called "Dialogue," and it's a show where young people can speak out freely and be heard. (A full story on the program is printed elsewhere in this issue, but my plea is a personal one.) Those of us from Wilkes who have participated in this program have found the experience enjoyable. The talk is spontaneous - and after the first few moments, you actually forget the cameras. Unfortunately, not that many students from our campus have volunteered to appear - though George Conway, Frank Mccourt, Sue Novak, Bill Kaye, and Drew Gubanich are among those that have . This is a perfect opportunity to show how young people really think, and all you have to do is volunteer. To show you how painless the whole thing is I'll confess that I was called at 6:30 p .m . to substitute for someone else. I had just taken a shower and crawled into bed for a nap when Dick Bevan called. Being a little groggy, I agreed - and a half hour later I found myself on a set discussing the Pill, and wondering if I had the curlers out of my hair. What a way to make a television debut! - - Speaking of television - whatever happened to it? I admit I've never been a fan , but after watching it last weekend for the first time in months, I realized that it has reached the desperation stage. For example, I viewed the Andy Williams Show, expecting a relaxed, informal pace. Instead, dear sweater-boy Andy runs a psychedelic light show with bad imitations of Laugh-In gags thrown in for good measure. A whole show of "Moon River" would be better than being subjected to a bear begging cookies, a walking suitcase, a midget Prussian soldier, and a worn-out line - "You 're weird, Andy . .. " Andy is depending too much on spot jokes rather than is relaxed singing voice. However, his one trump card is his wife, Claudine . Even a special (which usually save the medium) disappointed me recently. I watched a revival of The Front Page with Robert Ryan. The producers made a fatal mistake in not adapting it more for television. We all h ad trouble catching the dialogue, and the acting was distracting, being much to flamboyant for the small screen.

Out of the nearly 650 freshmen enrolled at Wilkes College, a total of 267 of the students voted . The election results named Joel Fischman as presiaent of his class with a total of 131 votes. His closest competitor for this office was Sheila Pettie with 87 votes. Frank Galicki captured the office of vice-president over Stephanie Pufto and Bruce Kelson with voting results of 140, 84, and 47 votes, respectively. The new treasurer of the Freshman Class is Carol Hussa with 103 votes. Her closest competitor was Jeff Limber with 69 votes. The closest number of votes for any two candidates for office was that between Randy Wells and Mary Francis LaRos e for the position of secretary. The final count was Randy Wells 122 and Mary Francis LaRose 117, with Miss Wells capturing the office with a narrow five-vote margin. by George Pagliaro "Students must be made to realize that unless they take active roles in cleaning up this mess, they might not be wearing gas masks outdoors today but their children will tomorrow," says David Hughes, acting chairman of the Environmental Organization of Students at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. Mr. Hughes' comment exemplifies the attitude of many students on other campuses who are no longer confining their interests to their particular campus es but are turning them toward the world around them. The world is in a state of crisis, a crisis no one can end with bombs (they are supposed to be a cure-all), ambiguous political speeches, or token federal budget allowances (allowances that could not even clean up Lake Erie). If man is to stop destroying himself, h e must make a concerted effort to change his suicidal trend on all fronts. The front composed of the American college student is just beginning to act. At Dickinson College in Carlisle, a public affairs symposium took place from February 8 to 11. Highlighted by an address by Dr. Barry ·commoner on "The Crisis of Our Environment," it was suppleRepresentatives to Student Gov- mented with further discussions by ernment for the class of '73 were also elected. They were Lindsay Farley (160), Howard Tune (152), Michael Barski (147), Anne Fischer (122) and Al Balderson (108). PHEAA Scholarship Forms Now Available In Chase It has been announced by Richard Rasp en that Pennsylvania residents enrolled as full-time students earning at least 12 credit hours each semester and who do not now hold a Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency Scholarship may obtain an application for 1970-71 at the Financial Aid Office , Chase Hall 104. To be eligible for a State grant, a student must be a bona fide resident of Pennsylvania for at least 12 months immediately preceding the date of application and must show financial need. Students who hold a PHEAA Scholarship this year will receive a renewal application in the mail within a few weeks. It is not necessary to secure an application from the Financial Aid Office. Filing deadline for both initial applications and upperclass renewal applications is April 30, 1970. former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, Senator Gaylord Nelson, and several other prom· inent men who covered many phases of the destruction of the environment, including pollution, overpopulation, the economic effect, and the goals of science. J'he symposium alse set up a resolutions committee to "draft concrete and specific resolutions on what government and business can do to clean up." •Concern at Dickinson is mounting. Ending coverage of the symposium, The Dickinsonian published a photo af a car spewing an overabundance of exhaust with the questioning caption, "How shall we leave this symposium? . . . ! !" The message is clear : talk is fine and necessary, but actions speak louder than words. Concern for the dying environment has permeated through the entire system of colleges in our country. From the closing thought of The Loretto, Saint Francis Col• lege's newspaper (a quote by Pogo stating, "We have met the enemy and he is us") to the activist EGOS of Old Dominion, and to t'he sym· posium at Dickinson, college students are sounding the alarm. Something mus t be done now, or as Dr. Mizianty warned his Biology 102 students, we will die in our own waste . Graphic Works, Photography On Exhibit In Art Gallery Conyngham Annex Gallery is now exhibiting the work of two art• ists, Renee Mucci and Alice Sekowski. The exhibit contains photography work done by Miss Mucci which is an interesting and unusual additioa to the show. The best of this work, " Snow Farm #2," is an exercise ii black and white. The balance in· such a stark photograph is impor and obviously easily achieved, which helps to create the statement design. Another painting, "The Fire Escape," is a textured oil done in high style which recalls the "naive" paintings of early America. Miss Sekowski's work contains a number of graphics which se to express a definite feeling for experimentation. "Untilled" is an et ing which shows thought and knowledge of the medium. Most of h graphics are highly successful. Exhibits usually contain metalwork jewelry and both artists' work reflect design and interest. The jewe in all its simplicity, achieves a freedom of design which heightens quality of the show. Paintings done in a similarly designed lashi would be abstract in quality and unusual in design. The show is w put together and is a good representation of the artists' talents. • IDC M Topi, include gram, t Whitby orphan Mike and d: Learnin 1 tionnair, out the The qw for prefe er, and Francis J Mike to J program. might ·b e Dean J• meeting t of Freshr tains that celled b ee received 1 plications of the we 1 lege board ceived; h e from high many stud noon to b He went on le purpose year.

The proposal will now be presented to the Administration for final action. At present, the faculty has approved the proposal in principle. Faculty chairmen are Mr. Darte, Mr. Fahmy, and Dr. Allen. The Student Government vote on the proposal was 8-2-4. The Activities Fee proposal was unanimously approved and a date of February 24 was set for the student referendum. The New Committee, represented by Howard Tune, submitted the supervision proposal for the Commons game room. A student supervisor will be required to be in the center during his working hours. The supervisor will be responsible for the equipment and locking the equipment. All students using the materials will have to surrender their identification cards. The card will ·be returned to the owner' upon presentation of the game. The proposal was unanimously passed by SG. The game room opened February 16. The New Committee also announced that it will present a film in March in the Commons. Dave Hoffman proposed that an all-college party be sponsored similar to the Winter Carnival party. Research is being done. The March of Dimes will sponsor a dance on March 13. It was announced that on March 10, Alex Haley, author of the "as told to" story, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, will speak at Wilkes. The topic of his discussion is, "Black Heritage, a Saga of Black History." Also on April 6, 'Dr. David Smith, medical director of the Haight-Asbury Medical Clinic, will speak on "Youth Alienation, and the Drug ,Scene." he is editor of The Journal of Psychedelic Drugs. Dave Lombardi presented the results of the Middle Atlantic States Accreditation Case Study. The results were unanimously approved by SG. * * * Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, students engaged in peaceful demonstrations to learn the reasons why the open-house proposal had been rejected and to show the Administration that the students were a unified body supporting open-housing. Dorm Visitation Ouestions Asked After last week's incidents, everyone has questions that need answers. Below are a few questions and their answers on the dormitory visitation topic, student responsi,bility, and a plan for "Forward Thrust." Was consideration given to the suggestions of the Council of Deans? The Deans submitted their recommendations to the Administrative Council. The proposals were discussed. After careful consideration some parts of the intervisitation proposal were looked on favorably and others with less favor. The Administrative Council did not consider it advisable to accept the proposals as they were submitted. The Administrative Council did not consider it advisable to approve any recommendation that was not based upon the assumption of responsibility by students for the governance of their proposal. The proposal that was submitted returned the responsibility for governance to the Administration by placing all responsibility upon student proctors who are employed by the College. What happened to the recommendation of the Student Life Committee? The Deans' Council was guided by the discussions and varied points of view expressed in the Student Life Committee. In accordance with accepted procedures, the varied points of view by the Student Life Committee were considered by the Deans' Council and were incorporated in its report to the Administrative Council. -- E Was consideration given to the vote of dormitory students on the question of intervisitation? The Deans and Administrative Council were fully cognizant of the overwhelming consensus of student opinion. They were also aware, however, that the Administration bears the ultimate responsibility for administering these policies. Is the College willing to give responsibility to the students? The Administration has always asked its students to assume increasing responsibility .

The Wilkesmen are now 11-8 on the campaign and 8-7 in the MAC. This marks the first time this season that Coach Ron Rainey's charges have been over .500 in the MAC. Tuesday [Feb. 10) night at Harpur the Colonels got off to a quick 10-0 lead and had little trouble the rest of the half. The closest the host team got was nine points, at 16-7 and again at 18-9. Then with Rich Davis, Herb Kemp, and Dave Kurosky controlling the boards and Wally Umbach, Davis, and Kurosky shooting well, the Colonels outscored Harpur by a 22-11 margin in the next five minutes. The Wilkesten coasted to a halftime lead of 52-26. Harpur showed some sign of ' coming to life in the second half as it scored the first five points of the half to cut the Colonel lead to 5231. However, Captain Kemp quickly dispelled Harpur's hopes by converting a three-point play and following with a 15-footer to put the Colonels up by 31 again. From this point on there was no stopping the Colonels as they led by as much as 40 points at some times in the contest. Coach Rainey cleared the bench with about 10 minutes left in the game and all but two of the Colonels scored. Rich Davis led the Wilkes scoring with 26 points on 10 of 16 from the field and six of eight from the foul line. Herb Kemp placed second in the scoring column with 24 points and Wally Umbach also hit doubles with 14. Kemp led the rebounders with 14 and Davis had nine.

The Taboo Curtain is a very real and pernicious fact of the contemporary American society. The purpose of developing the philosophy of individu al freedom to the utmost and to live without taboos is to "examine every major axiom of Western culture, to make the antithesis of each axiom a possible and disable thin g, rather than an unthinkable one." We are engaged in a non-violent revolution all across the nation to try to change the mistakes of the past and insure they won't happen in the future. Instead of war and hate the new philosophy stresses love and care for one another and the suppressing of exploitation of our fellow human beings. This is the aim of the new generation "free-thinkers."

Saturday night the determined Moravian Greyhounds gave Wilkes a tough game before finally succumbing by an 87-72 score. The Colonels took an early lead and were up by six to eight points throughout the first 15 minutes of the game . With Wilkes up by five, 28-23, the host team got hot and outscored the Colonels by a 12-2 margin in the next few minutes and took a 35-30 lead. The Colonels then put on a spurt of their own and outscored Moravian in the last three and a half minutes of the half by a 9-2 margin and took a 39-37 lead to the lockerroom. The second half was as tight as the first for the first six minutes, but then the Colonels started goin g inside to Davis . The 61 6" junior responded with some fine inside shooting and subsequently the Colonels began to pull away. All Moravian attempts to thwart the surging Colonels proved fruitless and the Colonels coasted to an 87-72 victory. Davis led the Colonel scoring with 37 points coming on his patented turnaround jumpers and some tough moves on the offensive board. Umbach was next with 21 points and Kemp contributed 15 to the Wilkes cause. Davis led in rebounds with 13 while Kurosky and Kemp had 10 (Continued on Page 8) By gaining 17 points before opposing Hofstra University could get on the scoreboard, the Colonel matmen gained their tenth win of the season via a 23-11 victory over the New Yorkers.

According to Krienke, the takeoff is also vitally important if the dive is to be successful. Krienke 's biggest thrill since beginning his swimming career occurred in 1967 when he finished fourth in the New Jersey Interscholastic Swimming Championships for Group IV High Schools. This was quite an accomplishment for Krienke as the competition in this tournament included contestants from the largest high schools in Jersey. Since the beginning of his college career, Krienke has continued to improve in every aspect of his diving, and with two full years of eligibility left before his graduation in 1972, the Colonel swim team will be assured of gaining some vital Of all the div es which he must 1erform as a contestant, Krienke's points in the diving events. !avorite is the reverse dive layout.

On February 10, the girls from Misericordia made life miserable for the Colonelettes as they ran to an 18-point halftime lead. But with the playing of Sharon Pavides, Sue Ditson, Elaine Swisloswi, Lorraine Mancuso, Carol Hoffner, Jo Ann Beimer, and high scorer Sandy Bloomsburg, the Colonelettes came to within three points of "Misery" with three minutes remaining. Misericordia tightened up, however, to maintain the lead and win the game, 42-35. Two days later, the coeds finally broke into the winning column for the first time this season as they convincingly defeated the Keystone Job Corps, 41-30. Miss Pavides took the scoring honors this time as all six regulars played quite well. Ruth Sharkus and Maureen Kosmynka came off the bench often to substitute for Miss Marcuso, who suffered an injured ankle.

This proposal has be en submitted to students and re jected by them on four differen t occasions.

Students have held man y positions of responsibil ity while earning their way th rou gh college. This has included pu blicity, scheduli ng, maintena nce of records, secu rity patrol, resident assistants, th e honor dormitory, etc . A Student Life Committee was formed in 1968 to encourage free exchange of opinion among students, faculty, and Administra tion.

As most Pennsylvania* residents mow, the future of this program las never been certain; and this rear, we saw what could happen to iny program when it becomes a iolitical football. In July, 1969, the General Assemlly, which is responsible for approiriating funds for the scholarships, iassed a "resolution of intent" to l!ake funds available. On the 1trength of this resolution, the Pennsylvania Higher Education As1istanc e Agency made awards totalmg nearly $54 million to nearly 87,000 Pennsylvania residents. When these students began classes in September, they pre1ented their scholarship notification letters to the colleges. The letters oore an ominous condition: "This award is contingent upon appropriation of funds ·by the General Assembly." Nevertheless, colleges, in good faith, accepted the letters in lieu of cash and allowed these stufonts to register for the fall term. What the colleges did not know was that it would be another five months before any ,money would be received from the State . As the semester progressed and no funds were forthcoming, the colleges and universities outside Pennsylvania began to press students for funds. In fact, 11 colleges issued the ultimatum to the PHEAA scholarship holders that unless their bills were paid, they would not be permitted to take final examinations. Most institutions within Pennsylvania were willing to extend credit lo their students until the Legisla- ture funded the program. Normally, the State would have made payment to the schools around -October 1. However, since payments were delayed until late January, the inaction of the General Assembly has caused additional financial hardships at most colleges. Here at Wilkes, over 1,000 students were awarded State grants in excess of $840,000. Half of this amount, or about $420,000 should have been received in the fall semester. If received as normal, these funds could be deposited or invested, producing additional income with which to meet the operating expenses of the College. Like any homeowner or business, the College has bills for maintenance, heat, water, electricity, salaries , and so on. Trying to meet these obligations on one hand, while extending $420,000 credit to s tu den ts on the other hand, required the delicate and expert handling by Mr. Alex Pawlenak, Comptroller of the College . In dollars and cents, the cost to Wilkes as a result of extending credit to these students is already some $30,000 to $32,000. This money, which would ordinarily be us11d for educational services, is being wasted this year on debt service, from which no benefit is derived. February 15, five months to the day after classes began for the fall semester, Wilkes received payment from the State for its grant awards for the first term. Since we are now in the second term, the College is still financing the grants that have been approved by the State, and again, this is an expensive obligation for the College. Dr. Moses Views Registration: Present System Best For Wilkes by Roy P. Hollabaugh Regis tration is a turmoil almost every student encounters twice a year. It seems there is a lot to be desired in our present registration system - but, from the Administration's point fa view, it is the best possible method for the faculty and students of Wilkes College . Dr. B. Hopkins Moses, head of the Registration Department, painted out that the present system is in existence primarily to accommodate faculty members and students who could not adjust their hours to meet rigid schedules. Many of the faculty members are attending graduate classes and they need certain hours of teaching to facilitate the time needed to attend these classes. This aspect is taken into account when the list of classes, and their times, is printed. Also on this lin e is the student who works, or the student who commutes. Our present system (supposedly) affords them the opportunity of scheduling classes to fit their working and commuting. The flexibility in our system is there to provide the students these opportunities which would not be available in other systems. Another reason Dr. Moses gave for the use of the present registration sys tern lies in the lack of adequate classroom space. With the burning of Conyngham, the r e was a bind for available classroom space, and at the present time a moreregimented registration system would have only added to th e chaos. Two other systems of registration were looked at and discussed. The first was Bloomsurg State College's which is advanced registratio n (registering the previous semester) . It was concluded that this (Continued on Page 8) Students Explore Experimental Theatre: Selecting, Casting, and Directing Plays An insane asylum, a workhouse ward and an empty stage will set the scenes for three student-directed one-acts to be presented in the CPA March fifth through eighth. Each play has been selected, cast and rehearsed by a student director. This venture into experimental theatre enables students to gain experience in directing shows and gives opportunity for those involved to learn to carry out directions and suggestions. Opening the triple-billing is the short play "Workhouse Ward" by Lady Gregory, directed by Dennis English. The plot is based on two men's hidden friendship. Both old men have been placed in a workhouse in Ireland. Though they seemingly hate each other, their fights really cover a strong bond. This invisible bond of friendship is tested when one of the men's sister appears and reveals that she plans to take her brother out of the ward. The cast, though small, is consistently strong. Debby Chandler plays Mrs . Donohue, the country sister, while Elliot Rasenbaum and Joe Vojtko portray the Irish paupers, Michael Miskell and Mike McInern_ey. Bob Hartzel directs the second show, "Impromtu" by Tad Mosel. The four characters involved are placed on an empty stage and are forced to improvise a play by an unseen stage manager. Their contrasting personalities prove to invent and dissolve familiar problems. The members of the cast are Winifred, Molly Jaciewicz; Laura, Eileen · Rex; Earnest, Bob Sampson ; Tony, Al Adolfsen. The last play, "Chamber Music" by Arthur Kopit, takes place in an insane asylum. · Directed by Miss Rita Singer, the structu:raly complex one-act deals with the decisions and problems of Seated (left t o right) : M olly Jackiewicz, Ei le en R ex.

'· Voter Responsibility Student elections for the Sophomore and Junior classes will take place this Wednesday, March 4. For a change, let 's approach the elections from a different angle. Why do we have elections? Why do certain people run for office? And, why do so few people vote? The reasons for elections are supposed to be to elect students to take take on the responsibility for leading other students, meeting students' needs, communicating to the Administration, and above all, being fair to all. This is the intention, the inactment is up to the students elected. The reasons for which people run for office are esoteric. Many people feel someone seeks a position for prestige or social distinction. Others feel people run because no one else wants the job. Still others think the person is genuinely sincere. The reasons for elections 9re easily sons why people run are not as easily swers may be found. But, the reasons vote are difficult to answer. Is it mere venience, or underlying reasons? answered; the reaanswered but, anwhy people fail to disinterest, incon- ~-,. _ I can not see why so many students are dissatisfied with the state of our newspaper. The past issue (February 13) co vered a variety of stories including national and campus issues, spo rts and events upcoming in the community. If the students are so dissatisfied with the condition of this newspaper there is no reason for them sitting on th eir posteriors and just complaining. If the articles are so poorly written why can't these complainers write the articles themselves? The Beacon has constantly asked for people to help or write articles, but the students seem to be co ntent with criticizing the ones written. Personally I can't see why there is such a big scream over Miss Klaproth's column. After a week of lectures seriously dealing with the world, it is refreshing to see someone with a brighter side of the world. Keep up the fantastic articles Miss Klaproth - - I'm sure there are many other students who enjoy them. Wake up fellow students; ·be less easy to just criticize and do nothing but be more willing to criticize and come up with useful and helpful suggestions. Sincerely, Richard Sunday c~ r It is time to shed the high school facade of voting on a popularity basis and consider the issues and ·the affairs of the college, Before you decide to vote, or not to vote, think about who has been consistently active in things, and who is sincere. Think about what you want and don't want, who whom want and whom you don't want. The nominations have been made and the voter responsibility is now yours . Manr:hild In A Polluted Land There have been whispers on our Campus to the effect that an ecology movement is underway. It is now time for the whispers to become louder - for under the direction of Jack Blannett, students are now banding together to fight pollution. Obviously, there are few who would be against such a project, but the important thing is for people to be for it sincerely enough to do something about it. All talk and no action means the death of a noble undertaking like this. Every person on earth should share equal concern for this problem - but especially students who are educated to understand the problems of pollution. It can never be enough to sit and nod vacantly to our biology and earth science profs - as if the problems were something far removed from us. The problem is here and now - and a walk beside the "lovely" Susquehanna River or along a culm bank left by a coal company shows us that the Valley environment is one in direst need. Blannett is currently organizing an eco-activist group, with an eye to bringing everything into focus April 22 National Ecology Day. He speaks of showing films, organizing a parade, arranging for speakers - with the help of his fellow students. If you really care - now is the time to do something about it. Of all student causes, this may someday prove the most pressing of all - for it would be to no avail to achieve peace and brotherhood only to die in our soot-covered cities, choked rivers and blackened air. ·Ac /I~(" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ( r"' ·,.___f'~ ~~ \_J ~ - - -~ ----- - ANNOUNCEMENT THE BEACON hat it ly wan to mo selves a little WILKES CoLLEGE STUDENT UNION BUILDING.

Politics has, as its immediate rewards: recognition, a "break" on a close grade, and a darned good boost toward that annual ultimate "Who's Who." As its farreaching benefits, it is something to drop casually at the country club in years to come and a respectable addenda to one's graduate record. What some young candidates fail to realize is that politics is a perpetual affair which requires undivided concentration. If you commit yourself, you must fill the role at meetings, meals, or even studying for a big test. Please note also that all successful college politicians have respectable grades - a virtual must. The election is the fi;st real step after the big decision. A prospective "wheel" seldom has much trouble being elected if he can afford more posters than his opponents. Colorful printed posters are usually undefeatable. Remembering that 70 per cent of a school or class never reads posters, much less votes, these gems of sincere, straightforward dedication, must be directed to his possible following of 30 per cent. This is done by using reds and blues on white background. Three-inch block letters of the name and, preceding that, the word "vote." Integrity, sincerity, and even not a questionable experience, can't miss, What it all boils down to is that nobody really wants the job and it is the candidate's task to motivate a handful of students to drag themselves to the polls and struggle an "X" into a little box. Once elected, you've made the grade. The only real requirement is that you must attend air meetings. However, several little knacks will prove-one a faultless student ruler. The first is to learn as much about the private lives of everyone else, without letting on a thing about yourself or that you have enough on them to send them up the river. A truly dedicated "proposal voter" would never miss any · meeting of any kind short of spinal meningitis, the flu , and a broken leg. Remember, never, but never, miss any meetings of any sort - and always seem anxious to attend. The next hint is very important. Never, never, never commit yourself on any topic whatsoever, no matter what. Never speak against any person's actions, no matter how evil (he may be a vote next year). And above all, if and when you must say something or anything, say it in the broadest generalities possible. Don't let anyone nail you down, even on the weather. (Continued on Page 8) by Frank Mccourt When at 11 :45 a.m. on February 12, Dr. Farley read a statement before a joint meeting of IDC and Student Government, stating that there would be no need for a change in the present men's housing parietals, we had been in several ways, insulted. We asked politely and patiently for a tiny piece of something and even that was denied . This was difficult to grasp and once grasped impossible to accept. We gathered in the gym to await an Administration explanation for the rejection. None came. Dean Ralston appeared to answer questions but was unable to speak on behalf of the Administrative Council. The students were eventually preempted by basketball practice and moved to the center lounge of the New Men's Dorm. There, persons that had nothing to do with open housing and who knew little about what had happened in the last six months (or 34 years) tried to explain things to the students. Most of the raps were a series of fallacious ego trips. In any case, they gave everybody something to do. Eventually, Drew Gubanich, non-splat president of IDC, said that on an objective basis we were met halfway, but that subjectively or in terms of student needs, open housing far outweighed the other two proposals. Bill Kaye returned from a meeting with Dr. Farley and explained that the President felt the proposal had been misunderstood; that open housing was not a dead issue; that it was only defeated due to lack of an adequate system of governance. Bill announced that Dr. Farley said that the Administrative Council was still willing to consider a more concrete proposal. SG and me h eld several joint meetings. In the midst ·of illimi-table pedantic insanity, there was dead seriou sness. It was decided to cast a concrete-footed proposal that would be too stolid to refute on any basis other than personal wh im. Every Administrative query was anticipated and rebutted. It was then determined how they would refute our rebuttals and the procedure repeated. With every point, antipoint and synthesis, we got closer to the human element of the issue. Delegates were selected to try to explain student feelings to the members of the Administrative Council. It was decided th at a curfew violation would create a hassle better left uncreated and that the lounge must be cleared for the sake of both the students and open housing. We needed no m a r tyrs at this point nor did we need to doublecross the Council of Deans who had supported (Continued on Page 8) Once again Wilkes College will experience the loss of a fine faculty member.

Dormitory representatives read the proposal and then voted on it. The necessity of weekly council meetings in the men's dorms was stressed. It was suggested that in the future some sort of an honor court be organized to handle the violations . The details of the proposal were explicitly explained to the representatives. It was mentioned that a dormitory may decide to have Dormitory Visitation one semester and not the next. It was added, that no dormitory may lengthen the hours. The Dormitory Visitation Proposal will be reviewed each year prior to June 1. The proposal was unanimously passed by me. Student Government Meeting February 19.

Both plays, "The Man of Destiny" by George Bernard Shaw and "The Diary of Adam and Eve" , by Harnick and Bock, were brilliant, original comedies and the directors should be commended in their choice. The humorous side of Napoleon's rise to power was represented in the first play, Shaw's "Man of Destiny." Napoleon's proud, mast ermind image is dismantled by Shaw with his introduction of the "strange lady," who intervenes on behalf of Bonaparte 's wife to intercept amorous correspondences . Unfortunately , the parlay between the Emperor and his female visitor was not p erform e d with as much effective wit as Shaw had intended. Although Mike Gallagher has demonstrated his acting ability in th e past, he failed to capture the egotistical, insane nature of the French dictator. His sporadic figidity characterized Napoleon's outward app e arance, but many of the lines were lost in Mike's approach of hysteria to his madness when Shaw's picture of Napoleon was one of cool insanit y. Mary Morris's portrayal of the strange lady was also not as well explored as th e part permitted . Many of her r etort's to Napoleon's ranting qu estions lacked the haughty, caustic air of the cl ever w ench . Felix Wawer followed his role mor e carefully than the other two actors, and in addition, added an intere sting touch to the blabbering, insane Lieutenant.

Page 5 After a disappointing 25-10 loss to East Stroudsburg Wednesday ~eb. 18), the Colonel matmen came right back to gain their 11th win of the season via a 39-2 lopsided win over Ithaca. Al "Snake" Zeiner, who scored the only pin for Wilkes against Stroudsburg, gained his ninth pin of 1969-70 to break the school record for most pins in a season, previously held by teammate and cocaptain Andy Matviak. Matviak's recrod, set in the 1967-68 season, was eight pins. The Ithaca win was an important one for the Colonels since they nave one dual meet remaining befor the MAC Wrestling Tournament. Coach John Reese.,.remarked, "All the boys wrestled well even though we moved them up a weight class for conditioning." The Reesemen travel to Delaware Valley tomorrow afternoon for their final meet of the season. On February 18, the Blue and Gold grapplers traveled to East Stroudsburg, hoping for an encore performance against Stroudsburg. The Warriors only had revenge in mind from the 22-8 pounding they received -from Wilkes last season. The meet began in Wilkes' favor, however, as freshman Jay McGinley captured a 5-0 decision from Rany Manmiller at 118 pounds . But then the roof caved in for the Colonels. At 126 pounds, Matviak dropped a 5-2 decision to George Chimonik. Co-captain John Marfia then took to rhe mat to try to stem Stroud's building momentum. But the Easton senior couldn't put his opponent away after scoring a predicament in the second period and Kemble Matter went on to take a 5-3 de cision. With Matviak and Marfia out of the way, the Warriors couldn' t be stopped. "It's tough to win," explained Coach Reese, "when both Andy and John lose consecutively." With the Colonels losing by a 6-3 margin, 142-pounder Dennis Verzera opposed Dan Rossi to try to get the Wilkesmen back in the meet. However, Rossi scored two takedowns in the final period after Verze ra had accumulated three points in the same period. Verzera trie d desperately for one last escape but couldn't get it as Rossi went on to win, 4-3. At 150 pounds, Steve Kaschenbach go t off to a quick start in the first period but dropped a 6-2 decision to undefeated Tom Huber. Al Zeiner made a tremendous effort to stop the Warriors by pinning BiU Laukenbaugh in the second period of the 158-pound bout. This pin tied Zeine r with Matviak for most pins in a s eason, a record he was to break the following match. Gerry Willetts, wrestling at 167 pounds, had a chance to bring th e Reese men back into contention, as the Colonels were down, 12-8. But it just wasn't his or the team's night as Willetts was taken down and reversed twice in th e final round to lose a 7-3 decision. Freshman Ed Rupard followed with a 6-0 loss to Chris Greening and Leo Roan wrestled to a 1-1 draw with Bob Gemmel to close the scoring. Final score: Wilkes 10, East Stroudsburg 25 . L!lst Saturday was a totally differe nt story for the Reesemen as they decisively defeated Ithaca College, 39-2. The opening bout saw McGinley again start Wilkes off on the right foot by pinning Don Orlosky with 1:29 remaining in the second period. Matviak followed with a 9-1 victory over Bill Jones. Matviak was in control all the way as he scored two takedowns and riding time. He currently has nine wins and two losses. Wrestling at 134 pounds and with Wilkes ahead, Marfia gained a win via a forfeit.

Once the wrestlers get by Delaware Valley tomorrow afternoon, the next step for the matmen is the MAC Wrestling Tournament on March 6 and 7 to be hosted by Wilkes. The tourney promises to ,be an exciting one. I don't think I'm putting myself on a limb by predicting a Colonel championship. The fact that universities will not be wrestling this time around will make the Reesemen's job that much easier. Last year, Wilkes and the ·universities suc'h as West Chester State shared the majority of the individual championships. One guy who is definitely ready for the tournament is 177-pounder Rich Ceccoli. "I'm just about through with the chest cold I've had for a while, and I'm ready to go all the way this year." Last year Ceccoli finished in third place. Judging .from his opponents' reactions, Ric'h must be suffering from bad breath or some such related ailment since many people who wrestle Rich find it hard to stay on the mat with him.

Tickets can be bought for all four But I was reassured that with Jay Reimel the Colonels 'had one of the rounds for the special price of finest defensive guards in the conference. And sure enough, the exciting defensive 'hawk came up with the big steal to get two points and put Wilkes ahead for good. It is interesting to note that about semester break time the Raineymen were wallowing around .500 ball. But since then they have gone on an 8-2 tear and it was at this time Bill Crick joinded the club. While 'he has seen limited action, Crick is a vital man to have who can come off the bench to ignite the team, which he does often, plus contributing some points. Another player who is important to the team's playing is sub Terry Jones. Jones is used primarily as a su bstitute for Reimel when the team needs some scoring. He has come a long way since the beginning of the season and is now quite confident and cool on the court. Another group of players who have steadily progressed is the Jayvee squad . Under the tutelage of coach Larry Kendig, the all-freshmen team has run to a 7-5 record. Led by center Mike Bachkosky and Mark Caterson, the Jayvees are helping Kendig's promise to produce a winning team - a team with players for the future. * * * * * Former Boston Celtic star Bill Russell on the draft: "There should be three requirements for the draft: no one wo uld be drafted until he's 40 ; no one would be drafted who makes less than $15,000; and if you're running for political office, you're 1-A.

Midway thro ugh the second period, Matley was suddenly on his back and the ref just as suddenly slapped his hand on the mat, signalling a pin. However, the match was an exhibition since Methmeny was unable to make weight. Verzera lifted his seasonal mark to 8-1 via an 8-0 decision over Tom Hochfelder. Using a variety of moves, Verzera almost clamped him in the final period. At 158 pounds, Steve Kaschenbach made th e score 24-0 Wilkes, with a lopsided 12-3 decision. To the fans and the team, Kasenbach had his man pinned but the ref didn't think so. But "Snake" Zeiner made sure the ref wouldn't miss his recordbreaking pin as Ron Meisner took to th e mat with 1 :36 remaining in the second period. Gerry Willetts wrestled to a 2-2 draw to bring his seasonal mark to 8-2-1 and was followed by Rich Ceccoli's 9-0 decision over Henry Keebler in a match which Ceccoli had to drag his opponent back on to the mat.

It offers the student fundamental skills in a field of study so that he might apply them in a working situation later in life. It offers cultural working benefits to enlighten the student about some of the "finer" attdbutes life after college will have . It offers a slightly protective, slightly artificial pause between the time one graduates from high school and the time one is tossed into the more harsh "workaday world." All these things cited, probably the greatest service a college offers is the promotion of a sense of rationality, a sense of understanding, understanding through facts, not prejudices. More and more , colleges are realizing that this should be their prime concern, and they are acting favorably in this regard. "The University of Wisconsin has joined Harvard among the first schools to develop a major in AfroAmerican studies." Letters and Science Dean Stepheen Kleene has initiated the program with a "model" curriculum but this curriculum may be doctor ed by the department as needs demand. General requirements for the major are 30-40 credits of Afro-American studies, "with at least one course in each of the areas of concentration (history, culture and literature, and society). The student would n eed at least 15 cre dits in one of the areas and at least 15 in advanced courses." There is an expecte d enrollment of between 1,200 and 1,500 the first Politics Prove To Be Important year. Perhaps these will be people who will be more able to understand, rather than ridicule, their (Continued from Page 3) fellow man. Of course, specific major fields is not the sole way colleges are making themselves meet the new demands. A "Climate of learning " study conducted in the spring of 1968 by a team of researchers headed by Dr. Robert T. Blackburn of the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Michigan has resulted in Findlay College in Findlay, Ohio, inaugurating an entirely new and redesigned Hberal arts curriculum. "The intention of the change is to provide an awareness of self, others, and the environment; understanding of various approaches to knowledge; and the ability to choose values." Courses in the new curriculum will include those with descriptions such as Self-awareness and .Selfexpression, Self-understanding in the Humanities and 'F ine Arts, and Critical Analysis of Values in Contemporary Society. The theory seems to be that by understanding yourself you will be better equipped to relate to others. The willingness of schools to change with regard to the times reflects the importance of understanding on a mass scale. The intention of these changes on the mass scale is to increase the amount of understanding on the personal, manto-man level. Hopefully, it will work, but to use the word one of our coaches coined, yougottawanna. Letters to the Editors (Continued from Page 2) of the "Y." We understand it is against YMCA International rules to allow females in the living quarters, but it has been done on past occasions (i.e., homecoming weekend). We request a temporary visitation for the remainder of the semester without establishing a precedent. Next year, if the "Y" must be used as a dorm, let it be so on a choice basis and therefore visitation will not be necessary. If girls are found in our rooms, we were Viewpoint told we will be first ousted by the "Y" and punished by suspension by the school because we broke a school rule. WHY? WHY? WHY? We are Wilkes students, why are we governed by a double standard and punished in a double manner? GADFLY Smiling as tho ugh were a content, beneficial, cosmic healer puts your subjects at ease as you whisk busily off to class or a meeting. The problem arises of whom to influence and how to do it. "How to" is occasionally handled rather aptly by editorial in many a campus newspaper ; so "whom " is really the question here . There ate three different groups who must be befriended at virtually any cost. They are certain students, all faculty, and mmebers of the Administration, with whom the aspirant must keep in perpetual touch. The huge foot-ball player is handy to know at the door of a dance when some students from another school try burst past. It's a vote next spring when you know a prof who can help a "friend" of yours . Never underestimate what the Administration can do for you: a parking sticker, inside tips on where a garage might be found, a small job when cash is needed, homecooked suppers, certain sections in . a class through early registration, and maybe meeting a Miss World contestant. Remember, a good college politican always knows faculty, Administration and carefully chooses friends from his peer group. College ain't what you know but who you know. Couple all these suggestions together and you will win election after election, make "Who 's Who," rate a backslap from your college president, be known among students (for many things), maybe escort a Homecoming Queen, and other untold benefits. Remember, smile, because it is all worth the price you 'll pay. McCOURT open housing. Drew explained that we had done nothing illegal and if we did it would be a point for the Administration.

Drew wasn't about to go splat. "I think we should stay," he said. Friday afternoon, I went to see Dr. Farley. He seemed to be both adamant and open. Dr. Farley explained to me that the president is only the most powerful person if the pyramid atop which he sits supports him. He told me that lack of adherence to social standards often results in moral decadence (Toynbee). He said he had seen this happen at other schools. I asked why and was told that we lacked the experience to cope with the world. Who is old enough to have learned from experience? I asked what action would be taken if any rules were broken by the students, and was informed that any violations would be handled under the provisions of Dissent and Due Process. The impression with which I left was that the veracity of the often-quoted statement, "Dr. Farley built Wilkes College," is beyond both question and criticism. It would follow that Dr. Farley would ·b e against anything that he felt endangered his college. Saturday Morning the girls (women students] returned. Some of the guys were mad about being awakened, which is also beyond comment. Apathy, selfishness and the heck with it had started to set in. Psychology bowed to physiology. I told 'Dan Kopen that we were having trouble getting the maids to support the demonstration and he said not to worry about it, that he would issue a memo. I also told him, that because of his involvement, he is going to be a hard-core unemployable for the rest of his life. Most all of the credit for achieving open housing goes not to the outside agitators, but rather to the inside agitators; Bill Kaye who wrote the proposal and the rest of the student leaders who supported it. So now we have open housing 12% of the hours of the week. The only major compromise was that the door must remain unlocked, in return for which we have open housing on a weekly basis rather than semi-weekly. What are you going to do?

BOOKSTORE! Students To Vote On Activity Fee Why The 'Y'? After talking with Dean Ralston, Mr. Hoover, and Mr. Planitzer of the YMCA concerning open house for the "Y" dormitory, we have concluded from statements of the aforementioned that the well-being of the Wilkes students living in the YMCA is being ignored. It is not sufficient to say that because of the National YMCA rules regarding women in the rooms we cannot partake in a privilege extended to the other men's dormitories. That is merely a way for the College to avoid its responsibilities to the Wilkes students at the "Y." • A digression is necessary here to clarify our point. When hopeful high school seniors visit the campus, they are escorted through various dorms, excluding the Y'MCA. Upon acceptance, a few unfortunates are assigned to the YMCA. The immediate reaction is to request transfer to another dormitory. The College pacifies these students by asking them to "wait a couple of weeks until things settle down." This is in itself an excellent solution to the problem, for the College knows that within a couple of weeks, the disillusioned student will have made many friends within the dorm, hence, he will be reluctant to transfer. The students at the YMCA are as active in College functions and activities as any other dormitory. Why then are we excluded from college privileges as well as being subjected to two different sets of regulations - the College's and the YMCA's? It's bad enough that we were coerced into living at the YMCA, now we are, in a sense, being punished for it.

The Wilkes Circle K Club, a}ong with 850 members clubs, belong to the International Circle K Club of the United States and Canada. The club provides many worthwhile services to the students, faculty and Administration at Wilkes. Its activities include: conducting tours on campus, ushering for campus affairs, directing blood drives, and conducting the elections. Off campus, the club participates in various community projects such as: Toys for Tots, running a midget football team for the children of the Heights, and working with retarded children at White Haven State Hospital. In addition, the members participate in all intramural sports - football, basketball, and baseball. Most recently, members of the club serve_d as ushers for the premiere of The Molly Maguires, an activity sponsored by the WilkesBarre Kiwanis Club, an affiliate of the Circle K Club. Presently the club has 60 members under the direction ·o f Richard Wetzel, president; Don Reese, vicepresident; Joe Grabowski, treasurer; and Hank Walters and Len Brozena, decentaries. Advisors for the club are George G. Pawlush, faculty advisor; and Samuel Davenport, Kiwanis advisor. Student Help On Marijuana Issue Is Being Sought Dr. Raymond Weinstein of the Sociology department has announced that his Research Methods class will conduct a survey of the attitudes and opinions on marijuana. His students will interview selected students on campus during the next few weeks. Marijuana was chosen as a topic because it is always in the news and the students felt it was a topic worth knowing more about. The study is designed to learn research methods as well as to understand attitudes and opm10ns about marijuana and issues such as legalization. The students conducting the survey are not concerned with the person's use or non-use of marijuana. The students selected for intewviews are urged to cooperate.

Next Wednesday, March 11, the students will be given an opportunity to vote on the new Activities Fee proposal. The referendum will be presented to the students and then to the Administrative Council. The proposed fee for the 1970-71 academic year is $25 with a tentative breakdown of: clubs, $4,000; classes, $1,500 each; Concert and Lecture Series, $10,000; Student Government, $4,000; Homecoming Weekend, $18,000; and Spring Weekend, $18,000. With an creased allotment -from the Activities Fee, SG plans to expand and introduce new activities to the campus. Distribution of the funds is designed for campus-oriented activities. The expansion of these activities began this semester with a revamping of the Concert-Lecture Series committee. Under the direction of Joel Rome, Assistant Dean of Men, students and members of the faculty from different organizations and departments on campus are planning an itinerary for this semester and next year. Members of the committee include: Sally Donoho, from The Beacon; Terry Falstrom from the Art department, Gretchen Winfield and Diana Stinzano from the Music department, Jay Ungar and Dennis Brew from SG, Harry Davis, Dr. Richard Stevenson and Patricia Boyle from the English department. The committee plans to schedule a well-known speaker or professional music or acting company to perform at the school each month throughout the year. Tentative plans include Ralph Nader for next fall. 'Most of these speakers and groups cost in the range of $1,000 to $1,500 for an appearance. On March 16, Alex Haley, author of the "As Told To" story, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, will speak about "Black Heritage, a Saga of Black History." Also, on April 6, Dr. David Smith, medical directory of Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic and editor of The Journal of Psychedelic Drugs, will discuss "Youth, Alienation, and the Drug Scene." Both these speakers have been selected by the new Culture Lecture Series committee and this year's Activities Fee fund facilitated their appearances. Clubs and Classes Clubs and classes also receive an allotment from the Activities Fee for campus-oriented activities. This money is used to subsidize activities by the clubs, including films, trips, and guest speakers.

The new proposal also allots $4,000 to SG. This money is intended for dances, films , and an emergency fund. The films presented this year cost in the range of $85 and up. The same type of program is scheduled for next year; again all Wilkes students will be admitted free of charge. Why Do We Need $18,000 For The Big Weekends? The Social-Events committee comprised of Dave Hoffman, Paula Gilbert, and Rick Newman found that the money allotted to this committee was not sufficient to schedule the groups and plan the programs that the students wanted to have for Homecoming and Spring Weekends. For example, the construction of the stage needed for the Homecoming concert last fall cost $750. Most of the groups that the students would like to have for these weekends cost between $10,000 and and $20,000 for an appearance. There are other things to consider, such as the financing of tickets, publicity, and the renting of chairs and a stage regardless if it is he!(! at the Kingston Armory or the Wilkes College gym. It is the feeling of this committee that the additional funds would greatly add to the quality and appeal of the groups for the students. The format of this proposal is quite similar to last year's proposal with the administration of the funds left to an Activities Fee Committee comprised of -members of the Administration and Student Governmeit. The new proposal, however, calls for a new plan that will allow the remaining money to -be left in the Activities Fee fund for the coming year. All events sponsored by the Activities Fee fund will be open to all Wilkes College students free of charge. It is felt that if the students had to pay for these events on an individual basis, the cost would be more than $25. Also in comparison with other schools, a $25 activitv in.ima �Page 2 Friday, March 6, 1970 THE BEACON Editorials Jette,-J tc tAe Cditc,CcedJ be(e1td C11rnp11i91t _ . ~A L0i\Ke:,- be\ rf~ II\-~ 1 I GIVE A [HANCE! This year has been marked by much change and controversy at Wilkes. The students, faculty, and Administration have had to make many decisions and alter many policies. Once again a decision must be made and controversies are heard . The Activities Fee proposal must be reevaluated. The new proposal calls for an increase of $15 in the present Activities Fee. This is the decision the students must make, whether to vote for or against the proposal, or whether they will vote at all. A controversy has developed concerning the need for the increased fee. It sees that the feeling on campus is that the students did not receive enough from the present Activities Fee, so, why have an increased fee, or any fee, for that matter? The proposal is indicative of the hard work put in by members of SG to meet the needs of students' activities. But, we all know that, don't we? Please take time to consider that this is the first year Wilkes has had an Activity Fee and that many technical problems had to be ironed out. Believe it or not, $24,000 is not a lot to work with when you must give $4,000 to clubs, $1,500 to each class, and $7,000 for Spring and ·Homecoming Weekends. In the meantime all students are admitted free of charge to dances, movies, lectures, and concerts. The Activities Fee is not a profit-making venture. It is simply a means to an end - the end being more activities for the students at Wilkes. A cry heard on our campus is to "give the students a chance." The Activities Fee needs a chance. But, is this easier to say than to do? Again, take time to consider the benefits of an increased fee: an expanded Concert-Lecture Series with bigname speakers and musical and acting groups; bigger concerts at Homecoming and Spring Weekends; more movies, dances and even rumors of a radio station. Maybe it is easier to ask for a chance than to give one. LET'S BE FAIR! On page one appears an open letter from the men of Wilkes who reside in the YMCA. It is obvious after reading it that those who planned dormitory visitation for the rest of the Campus forgot the "Y-guys." We can hardly blame them for that, for the Y seems far removed from Campus - as those who inhabit it can so readily testify. But now we have a crisis of sorts in determining whether the men will be treated on an equal basis with the other male dormitory residents. None of the 40 men in the YMCA requested to live there - most would move out immediately if they had the opportunity to do so without leaving behind the friends one makes when living in the same quarters. So now, despite the general unfairness of putting them in less-than-satisfactory quarters, the worst blow of all has hit the men of the Y. After working just as hard as others to see new social changes enacted, they are staggered to learn that they may not partake of the benefits . We don't know the answers to the dilemma. But we do feel that some compromise could be worked out among the Administration, the men, and those who manage the YMCA. Despite international Y rules, these men are stu dents at Wilkes College who abide by the same handbook and regulations all others do. We feel it is time to be fair. To the Editors: This letter is in reference to the letter signed "disgusted coed" appearing in the February 20 issue of The Beacon that criticized the dormitories' "bed-sheet campaign" of earlier this month.

The Theatre Development Fund has announced an offering of tickets at special rates to THE CONCEPT, presented by Mortimer Levitt and Arthur Cantor off-Broadway at the Pocket Theatre. Tickets are available to students or faculty members at a special rate of $2.50 for selected dates in March and April. "Within a couple of years, every high school and every college in the country will be inundated by heroin." This startling and sober prediction is the view of Dr. Donald H. Louria, president of the New York State Council on Drug Addiction. With this prophecy in mind, the Theatre Development Fund is offering students, teachers and other young people this special opportunity to see THE CONCEPT. THE CONCEPT was called by Walter Kerr of The New York Times "without question the most moving theatrical experience in New York." The play is created and performed by members of Daytop Village, a therapeutic community of former narcotics addicts. It is the story of one person's addiction and how he overcame it through joining Daytop. About the play, Newsweek wrote: "THE CONCEPT achieves a statement abo ut the perils and splendor ,of b eing human that most so-called plays never even hint at." Tickets to THE CONCEPT are available through the Theatre Development Fund for a six-week period beginning March 4 at- $2.50 each, well below regular 'b ox office prices. Any student or faculty member who would like to receive notice of this and other TDF offerings of worthwhile plays at special rates should write the Fund care of Palace Theatre Building, Broadway at 47th Street, New York, N.Y. 10036 or call (212) 757-1170. 'Pop' Knows When And Where As Things Start Happening Page 3 On Other Campuses by George Pagliaro have been accused of harping on the ecological dilemma we face. Well, for at least part of this column, I strike up the band once more. Ohio University's Post has dedicated one of its recent issues to "pure, unadulterated filth ." Partly a jibe at State Senator R. J. Corts who said the paper was guilty of printing "smut and pornography" and "literary garbage," the dedicaUon's main attention was to call for "a massive assault on the pollution problems facing the nation." Filthy, filthy! ! Some interesting changes have taken place at two of our nearby colleges. At Lebanon Valley College a Free University has been formed. Its first class was a "two-hour-p er-week, nocredit, no-fee course in black studies." Lasting seven weeks, it will be basically concerned with the history of Black America from 1492 to 1900. It will be followed by a second course devoted to the contemporary black movement. It is conducted by a senior pre-med major. It is really too soon to comm ent as to its worth, but one thing is certain: the program has excellent potential. Hopefully, t h e students at LVC will try to realize that potential. An eight-month study has recently been completed at the University of Scranton by a Task Force, a body composed of five administrators, five faculty members, and five students (elected at large from their respective constituencies) in addition to the student body president and the student body vicepresident in a non-voting advisory capacity. It offered the following suggestions for bettering the university: 1. Student-faculty committees to advance student involvement in departments; 2. Collection and us e of student opinion in departmental self-evaluation; 3. Collection and use of current opinion in curriculum revision; 4. Co-curricular activities which will extend academic influence beyond the classroom; 5. Collection of student suggestions for library acquisition and us e; 6. Informal "bull sessions" for faculty and students on departmental matters; 7. Social activities for faculty and students . The feeling of the Task Force is that these programs would be steps toward a more relevant and productive education at the schoul.

Somebody makes it happen." Pop, Wilkes public relations director, has been making things happen from the time he was a "Freshman Heeler" on the Daily Dartmouth, and he has not stopped. Trying to describe Pop Clewell's career briefly is nearly impossible. Perhaps we should concentrate on the high points. Graduating from Dartmouth in 1922, Pop worked rather briefly for AT&T in New York before he became a press agent for Sam. H. Harris Theatrical Productions. Intrigued by the business, h e went through a short period as an ad agency copywriter befor e h e went to Hollywood where he wrote and produced a couple of silent films. Things really began to click when Pop went to work at San Francisco's radio sta tion KHJ - the Los Angeles Times. Staying with radio profes sionally for many years, Pop worked in nearly every facet of the medium (with the exception of technical skills) . His crowning accomplishmen t in radio was when he was responsible for the coast to coas t broadcast of his own adaptation of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, originating from WilkesBarre [the onl y coast to coast broadcas t ever made from WilkesBarre). The broadcast was perlormed wi th his own cast and was listed several times in The New York Times preferred reading list. This was an annual feature for six years until World War II intervened, and Pop was "tapped." He has not left Wilkes-Barre [for any extended period of time) since. Pop worked for a period of time as the public relations director of the Greater Wilk~s-Barre Chamber of Commerce and its affiliated industrial funds. His main goal was to change the image of the community with the help of Dr. Sam Rosenberg and Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, something, he feels , they achieved. Finally, Pop came to Wilkes 'ColIege where he has stayed f.or approximately 10 years. He defines his theme as a public relations man as motivation. In his own words, a good public relations man "influences and creates public opinion." He is also careful to avoid producing misconceptions. A prime exampie of the caution is the fact that, during the recent demonstrations on campus, Pop was asked by a Channel 16 reporter if the college would release a statement. Replying in the affirmative, he also suggested getting a statement from the students, providing the students with an equal opportunity to speak. [This reporter was in his office at the time.) His r easons were simpie, "We have a fine bunch of students and always have." He believes it. Of course, not all Pop 's contacts here a t Wilkes have been seriuus . He recalls the time when Lady Bird Jo'hnson was supposed to address the student body at a convocation . Awaiting her arrival at Stark Hall, Pop received a phone call from one of our freshman coeds inquiring as to whether or not Lady Bird had arrived. Pop answered no which the coed countered with, "When she's ready to come over, could you have her bring some paper clips?" Certainly, there are other stories he can relate given enough time. One thing is for sure : if you want to hear about Wilkes from a re freshing perspective, see Pop Clewell, third floor, Weckesser Hall.

Specifically I'd like to congratulate him for two very fine accomplishments of lat e. First of all, after viewing The Apple Tree two weeks ago, I was prompted to go backstage and tell Bob Graham how impressed I was with his portrayal of Adam. I remember walking uut of the theater mumbling to myself how unfair it was for one person to be blessed with so much talent. Then Bob turned around this week and displayed an excellent exhibit of his photography in Conyngham Annex! Mine is not the role of art critic, but rather that of some,o ne who fundamentally knows what I like. And this I like. If I had to sum up Bob 's work in in a word, it would be "sensitive." There are those people who can see the power in little things - and this is probably the mark of creative genius. It is only recently that people have begun to accept photography as a creative art - but I defy anyone to view the work at Conyngham Annex and come away feeling unmoved by its scope. Bob has an eye for the ironic and beautiful parts of the whole combined with the ability to transfer this through his camera. One photograph shows the wide-eyed look of wonder on the face of a little Negro boy, another gives the stark beauty of the seashore (down to the broken shells in the sand], one of an old sink is so fin ely detailed that you can see the letters HOT on the faucet, and a broken window looks sharp enough to cut. He captures the beauty of "now" in a photo of a young couple in Indian garb, and someone lying on the River Commons. He captures the poignancy of "yesterday" in pictures of decadent buildings and old people. Frankly, I think Bob's efforts put those of many a professional photographer to shame. I guess the thing that impresses me is that Bob Graham is the type of student who can put out only the best for thre e and one-half ye_a rs at Wilkes - without pursuing recognition or reward. Possessing one of the finest creative minds on Campus, he can move in many directions. During his sophomore year he produced and acted in a production of The Fantasticks in the little Chase Theater. He has performed in the CPA often enough to be considered a resident - often displaying a trained voice and comfortable stage presence. In his "spare time" he has written in-depth reviews and articles for The Beacon and served as a contributing photographer to both The Beacon and Manuscript. I hop e Bob forgives me for throwing this bouquet his way when ·this column appears in print- but I assure him that it is written with deepest respect for his talents. Which is all to say - "how unfair it is for one person to be blessed with so much talent!" by Kathy Kopetchne When Conyngham Hall was destroyed by fire around Christmas of 1968, there was a need to replace the classrooms destroyed. Although the campus was constantly being expanded before the fir e, loss uf Conyngham Hall only brought the problem of additional classroom space into sharper focus. Wilkes College has become involved in a "Forward Thrust" expansion program and the newest program is an engi neering-arts building to be located on South River Street. It will be joined to Stark Hall in a U-shaped design that will include a 400-seat lecture hall in the north wing. There will be team-teaching facilities, laboratories for electrical engineering, environmental science laboratories, computer science rooms, a fine arts gallery, and many other neede d facilities. The cost of this "Forward Thrust" project is $3,000,000 . Wilkes-Barre campaign drive to raise $3 million for a new building complex held a dinner m Wednesday night at the Treadway Inn.

The win gave Coach Ron Rainey's charges a 14-8 record and a 9-7 log in the Middle Atlantic Conference. It also enhanced the current Colonel winning streak to seven and kept -.heir unblemished record in February intact. Wednesday night's encounter at the Wilkes gym was as close as a game can be. After falling behind by a 6-1 score in the early going, Herb Kemp and Rich Davis led a Wilkes rally that put the Colonels on top 9-7 with 13 :12 left in the half, The impetus carried the Colonels to a 21-14 lead- the largest of the evening for either team. Lebanon Valley pecked away at the Colonel lead and with 1 :19 left in the half, went ahead on a bucket by Chris Line . Wally Umbach regained the lead for Wilkes on a 15footer. Terry Jones then came up with a steal and was subsequently fo uled. Terry sank both free throws and a last-second bucket by Davis gave Wilkes a 36-31 lead at the half. The Dutchmen took the secondhalf tap and proceeded to score six straight points to wrest the lead from the Oolonels at the 18:32 mark. A foul shot by Davis tied it at 3939, In the next eight minutes the score was tied or changed hands no less than 11 times. With 5 :16 showing on the clock, the score was knotted at 60-60. Rich Davis scored two straight buckets to make it 64-62. Kemp hit a jumper and sank a foul to make it 67-65. Davis then scored on one of his patented turnaround jumpers to make it 69-65. With 0:39 left on the clock, the Dutchmen called a time out. When play was resumed, they brought the ball in and shot quickly. Kemp grabbed the rebound and headed downcourt. With 0:18 left, Herb was fouled. He sank the charity toss to put Wilkes up 70-65. Lebanon Valley scored again to make it 70-67. Wilkes then inbounded to Jay Reimel. Jay was fouled with five seconds left. He sank the shots to ice the victory at 72-67. Kemp made his last game in a Colonel uniform a memorable one. The stellar senior from Glenside, Pa., led the Colonels in scoring and center for two years until sidelined with a serious leg injury last year. Bob finished the season as the team's top foul shooter. The Colonel frosh beat the Lebanon Valley jayvees to finish the season with an 8-5 record. Mark Caterson had 20 points to lead the scoring while Jim Moore was right behind with 19. Joe Gillespie -was also in doubles with 11. Mike Bachkosky led in rebounds with 13.

Undefeated pin-king Al Zeiner looks about ready to capture his first championship at 158 pounds. Wrestling observers feel the strongest teams this year are Wilkes, Elizabethtown, Lycoming and Western Maryland. The edge, however, must be given to the Colonels, who have gained the team championship eight out of the last 12 years. Gerry Willetts, 9-2-1 on the season and third-place finisher, goes at it at 167 pounds, followed by 177pounder Rich Ceccoli. Ceccoli finished the season with nine wins and is hoping to improve his thirdplace finish of a year ago.

Since guests are treated first, a sincere welcome must be given to those wrestlers who have travelled to Wilkes to participate in the 32nd annual Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestling Championships, College Division. On behalf of The Beacon, welcome to Wilkes College. The tournament promises to b e an exciting one but at this point the Colonel grapplers appear to be in the best position to capture their ninth championship in the past 12 years. Since the universities have their own to urn ey this year, there isn't a great deal blocking the path of the Reesemen . In past years, Wilkes ·has shared team honors with Temple and West Chester, so with those schools out of the way, the Colonels should be in. With the possi,ble exception of Ron Fritts, all the grapplers are ready to go . Down to 118 pounds, co-captain Andy Matviak looked real good in his last outing against Delaware Valley. John Marfia also looked sharp against the Aggies and both Andy and John should make it to the top. Tom Morris looked a bit tired last Saturday due to his one-month layoff and dropp ed weight [down to 134 pounds) but he should be ready today. Dennis Verzera is prepared to gain his by Pete Herbst second straight first-place finish for the Reesemen. Al Zeiner, who upped his own record-breaking pin total to 10 last week, has all the qualifications to take him to the top at 158 pounds. At 150 pounds, Steve Kaschenbach has accumulated a 4-2 record thus far but he has some stiff competition at his division. Gerry Willets, Rich Ceccoli, and Leo Roan all wrestled one division higher than usual last week and all looked good. The action starts this afternoon at 1 •o'clock at the gym and resumes 7:30 this evening. Good luck to all the wrestlers. Last week's final dual meet of the season against Delaware Valley upped head coach John Reese's lifetime coaching mark at 142-27-6, one of the finest marks in the country. That contest also marked these events: John Marfia gained his 19th career pin, which enabled him to break the record for most career pins s e t by Marv Antinnes and Walter Glogowski. He finish ed his career with 42 pins, 12 losses and one draw. Andy Matviak closed his collegiate career with a pin last week to end his card at 42-5. Another Colonel who ended his collegiate stint is 6'5" basketball captain Herb Kemp . Kemp ended his career with some impressive statistics: a record 1,005 rebounds and 1,286 points scored. In addition to those stats, Herb always did the job when it counted, especially on defense. When such foes as University of Scranton came to play, Herb always defended their high scoring forward and he was always up for the occasion. He did a job on_ Gene Mumford to help defeat Scranton and one on Ray Hodge in Wilkes overtime victory over Wagner. In addition, Herb captained Wilkes to its fin est season. The Raineymen finished the season with a 14-8 record which easily could have been 16-6. However, the cagers finished the season with a re cord-tying seven straight wins. Congratulations to the Raineymen and good luck for next season. Next year, all concerned with the basketball program have a lot to look forward to . Coach Rain ey loses the services of Kemp and forwardcenter Bob Ockenfuss but gains the junior varsity squad, an 8-5 finisher und er first-year coach Larry Kendig. Mark Caterson, Mike Bachkosky, Greg O'Brion, Jim Moore, Roman Shahay, and Joe Gillespie should all find places on the varsity next year in addition to those already there: Jay Reimel, Wally Umbach, Terry Jones, Billy Grick, Rich Davis, Dave Kurosky, Charles Wetzel, Bruce Breier, and Jim Hanak. The spring hasn' t ye t arrived but baseball and lacrosse already have. Under the capable instruction of coach Gene Domzalski, the pitchers and catchers have begun work-outs. Carl Cook, Joe Zakowski, and Charlie Fick have been appointed captains for this year's squad . Jon Habrock gets set for his second season as lacrosse coach as his crossmen have already begun work-outs . n □□□□□□ :JOn □□ D:::J □□□ n:Jull:::JD L.JO[J!._1[.J. 1: l!'l'l~J: llJ:J[l □ rJC1U':"l:lrJf 1 □ ~1 u -NOTICE- All students interested in obtaining a charter flight to Europe this summer please contact Jon SchiffPORTERIZING - DRY CLEANING man, Room 227, Dirksen Hall, or Shirts-Beautiful Finish -5 for $1.20 John Freund .

Today the Colonels go after their ninth MAC champ1ol!ship as the annual MAC Wrestling Tournament gets underway. The Blue and Gold grapplers gained seven pins on the way to victory as Coach [ohn Reese juggled his line-up somewhat in preparation for the tournament. Co-captains Andy Matviak and ]oill Marfia wrestled at 118 and 126 pounds, respectively. Both, however, have wrestled at those weighll previously. Tom Morris saw action after a month's layoff but heavyweight Ron Fritts aggravated an ol injury to keep him on the bench. Instead, Brian Lott wrestled at 158 pounds, followed by Al ZeJ. ne.r, Gerry Willetts, Rich Ceccoli and Leo Roan at heavyweight. Freshmen Coach Kendig Has Winning Hoop Squad At the beginning of the basketball season, first-year coach Larry Kendig was given the job of handling the all-freshman Jayvee squd, the final goal being to develop players for Coach Ron Rainey's varsity program. He did his job and the fayvees did theirs as the frosh concluded their season last week with an 8-5 record. The mainstays of Kendig's squad were guards Greg O'Brion and Jim "Junior" Moore. Both are deadly shooters - Greg from outside while Junior is accurate from anywhere on the court. Greg usually controls the offense for the frosh, while Moore is probably one of the strongest guards available . In addition to being a fine ballhandler, Junior rebounds with the best of them. Manning the corners were Roman Shahay and Montrose product Mark Caterson. Caterson se ems to be destined for some fin e years as a Colonel, in the opinion of coach Kendig. "Mark can do just about whatever he wants to do on the court. He's a pretty dependable player." "Dependable" is a good description, for Mark plays both ends of the court as he consistently scores in double figures and makes his presence felt underneath. In both high school and college, Shahay has b ee n known as the finest defensive player on the court. At 6'4" , freshman center Mike Bachkosky is already bein g tabbed to replace sen ior and graduating captain Herb Kemp. And rightly so, as Mike combines fine moves and an unusual leaping abiilty which provided Kendig and the team with a sound offense and defense under the boards. A very important sixth man for the team was s econd semester Colonel Joe Gillespie . "Joe was pretty important," commented Kendig, "since he was able to get in and sub for either of the guards without us losing anything on offense." But next season means an entirely new team for the coach as some of the Jayvees will be on the varsity. "I think every starter on the squad could make varsity n ext year. But I'll tell you this - they'll give those guys a good fight." Continuing, Coach Kendig said, " I was pleas ed with the season. We got off to a slow start but came around after semester break. Th e boys played good, basic basketball. But more importantly, they played as a unit ail the time. Yes, I was pleased." Coach Rainey must have been pleased, too. He has a lot to look forward to next season thanks to Coach Kendig and his 8-5 junior va rsity squad . Marchant Wins Twice As Mermen Drop Finale The Colonel mermen have only next season to look forward to as they ended another dismal season last Saturday at the hands of Elizabethtown. Their 70-24 loss ended their season with but one win to seven losses. Co-captain Owen Lavery concluded his career with a second and third in the 200-yard breaststroke and individual medl eys and a school record to his credit. Looking forward to next season, Coach Bob Corba can build his team around Rich Marchant, one of the team's most dependable swimmers all season. Marchant scored a double win on Saturday with victories in the 50- and 100-yard free style . E-town began the meet by winning the 400-yard medley relay and then sweeping first place in seven of the nine events.

No upsets were recorded, but a new team climbed to the top of the Beacon ratings . By virtue of their 104-45 trouncing of the Bombers, Warner took over as "king of th e hill." The Faculty got things rolling on February 23 with a 66-50 pasting of Colonels. The half-time score read 39-20 but a determined Colonels squad closed the gap to 45-40 midway through the third period. Going got tight at this point as "playmaker-athletic director" Tohn Reese protested a little too spiritedly which resulted in a technical foul called by this reporter, a ref at the time. Toe!

The team's standing is 1-8. Sandy Bloomburg, Sharon Pavides, and Elaine Swisloski led the scoring against Community. The team was handicapped, however, as regulars Sue Ditson and Jonnie Supulski were unable to play. Against Marywood, the sextet jumped off to a quick lead at the end of the first quarter and maintained a two-point lead until halftime. Marywood recovered, however, and went ·on to win .

This service, condu cted at the Jewish Community ·Center and the Temple B'nai B'rith, consists of the taping o·f . textbooks and outside reading. A Message: to BusJness, Cornmeree and Liberal Arts Graduates ... There are, at the moment, six Wilkes students who participate in this program. After the tapes are used by the students, they are placed in the library. There they can be utilized by anyone who needs them. The students can be read to at the Jewish Community Center or in their dormitories between classes and in the evening. Each student receives a tape recorder when he arrives at Wilkes. The machine is delivered and serviced by the members of the Council and remains with the student until graduation. Chairman of the Reader Service for the Blind is Mrs. Sophie Hyman. Chairman for the taping program is Mrs . Ruth Hefter, assisted by Mrs. Sandy Shrager. Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librarian at Wilkes, works closely with the group. There are about 120 books which have been recorded. Before books were taped, phonograph discs were made through the cooperation of the Association for the Blind and the Red Cross. Council members recorded many books, but this method was found inadequate and was replaced by tape recordings. When a book, such as one in foreign languages can't be taped or read, it is done in Braille. Many of the taped books needed are ordered through Williams College, the Recorded Book Society, and the Library Congress. Taft Led 48 States The United States was made up of 48 states from the admission of Arizona in 1912 to the admission of Alaska in 1959. The first president of 48 states was William Howard Taft.

In the academic year, from 1959 to 1960, the total cost of tuition, room and board was $1,400. Five years later (64-65) the costs per year were up to $1,875. This year (1969-70) the combined costs of tuition, room and board have reached $2,550 and, according to Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the tuition will incerase $200 next year. This means that in the past 10 years these costs are only $50 short of having been doubled. And this does not include the incidental costs a student has to bear [books, transportation, etc.). And do not mislead yo urs elf into believing that all this money has gone into improving the college. Again, according to Dr. Farley, only 15-20% of these increases have go n e into improvements. The rest has b een eaten up by inflationary costs. Although the national average is considerably lower, the stud ent tuitions here at Wilkes pay for 85% of the educ atio n those stud ents receive [largely because of our small endowment) . To b e sure, financial aid takes the burden from m any students' shoulders, bu t, in the words of the financial aid director, Richard Raspen, "The college could not handle much more of a burden." Of the 2,470 full-tim e day stud ents enrolled in September, 1,676 students received some form of financial aid totaling a cost of $1,874,963, $300,000 of which is given outright. This means Wilkes gives nearly twice the amount of financial aid of any college in the ar ea.

These people are laying the groundwork on campuses for a nationwide declaration next month under the principle that "America must change its way of living or smother in its own waste.'' The target date for this "demonstration" is April 22 which has been designated as Earth Day. The day started out as a day to educate people and have teach-ins. Now, rallies, demonstrations, and protests are planned . It seems that the time has come to re-evaluate our values and face some of the important issues that face us not only today, but in the future. Startling facts are becoming more obvious. Within 20 years we are supposed to run out of oxygen, famines are to begin within the next 15 to 20 years, and Arizona, a state known for its clean air, is now fighting air pollution . Ask yourself, what will you be doing 20 years from now? We live in a land that maintains the principle of opportunity. Maybe it's time we put this "opportunity" into a different light and realize now while we have the "opportunity" that things can be done and corrected. Students are willing to unite and rally for dormitory visitation, something that affects us now. Why not rally for something that will affect us forever? Students, faculty, and Administration united this year for proposals. Why can't we unite again for our environment? Why can't we demonstrate on April 22? A time has come to look out our windows , even if it is only toward the Susquehanna, and realize that something must and should be done. A time not for the present, but for the future. If you want to last another 50 years, then do something now! !•f All interested persons are urged to contact Jack Blannet or Dr. Alvan Bruch. A FAIRY TALE Once upon a time, there was a valley. It had once been a beautful valley, abundant with green trees and a shining river. Many people wanted to live there, isolated from the outside world where things were not as beautiful. One day, however, some delicate people were afraid that their valley might become ugly. They complained to a man in shining armor who promised to rid the valley of anything that was not beautiful. One fine day, he rode out and confiscated a film that he found ugly. The people sat and applauded. Now their valley would be beautiful again. But these people in the valley had another problem. Sometimes they cou Id not see. When they bought a ticket they could see the dirty movie. But for free, they could not see big coal banks, the shiny river now turned brown, the streets filled with steam and holes, the bridge that was falling down, the politicians who sweetly told the people how cheery everything was, or the buildings that slid into the ground because once men had dug holes in the earth to take away its wealth. Because they could not see, the people were happy again. Moral of this story: what's the difference if we don't wake up? To the Editors : Pleas e note the following information: The yearbook staff has received notice from the publishing company that it will be permitted to take subscriptions for the 1970 Amnicola until March 31. All students are asked to take advantage of this extended subscription deadline. Any student who wishes to obtain a copy of the 1969 Amnicola can do so by contacting the Amnicola office [Stud ent Organizations Building), 76 West Northampton St., immediately. The supply is limited. "First-come , first served." Sincerely, Tom Cardello, Amnicola Editor Dear Editors: Rather than increase the activity fee, how about fining those incipient politicians who so fla grantly littered the campus with their art work last week. At the go ing rate for Pennsylvania ($100 per person per offense), Student Government would be rolling in dough. Meritorious is the suggestion that the offenders be dunked in the Y pool. The dunking could be the main event for April 22 and the Y could be declared open house for the show, thus killing two dragons with one swell foop. Chas. Reif To the Editors : As most of my friends know, I am basically a person of few words and say only what I feel has to be said. This is the first time I have written to The Beacon and may very well be the last, but I feel that what I am about to write more than deserves the space it will take. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Class of 1972 for the outstanding support they have given me and their other class officers -and representatives for the past two years. In that time, the majority of the class members have clearly demonstrated that they are not merely another apathetic class but, rather a class that entered Wilkes College with an interest and spirit that is, unfortunately, not easily found in the typical Wilkes College student. What is more important is the fact that they have kept that same interest and spirit as sophomores. This is evidenced by the results of the recent elections. No candidat e won simply because he had no opponent, rather, there was more than enough competition for every office. And by competition I do not m ean a candidate who runs b ecause he is a good football player or b ecause he is a "nice guy.' I mean good, clean, h ard competition, and every candidate that won deserved to win. That is not to say that every candidate that lost deserved to lose, but that is the price that must be paid when a class is mad e up of so many outstanding individuals. I have always been proud to b e a member of the class of '72, but now, after losing, I am prouder than ever that my classmates had enough interest to nominate and elect someone other than me. I was proud to be the president of a class with a treasury greater than the other three classes combined. I was proud t·o call a class meeting and have a bigger attendance than any of the other three classes. I was proud to ask for volunteers for committees and find that instead of not having enough people to help there were often too many, and most of all I was proud of the number ·of nominees for next year's Junior class. I am in no way saying that I am not disappointed in the outcome of my bid for re-election, it's just that the pride outweighs the disappointment.

R. Williams In the beginning was the word , . , and there were no problems. Sometime between then and now, a lot of changes were made. The Earth happened; people happened. There was a time, not long ago, when there was lots of earth and not so many people . If a person didn't like things where he was, there were many other places to which to go. Things are different now. When people finally discovered that places to go were at a premium, they began to feel that changes would have to be made where they were. Simultaneously, they discovered that because there were, for a very long time, "places to go," no effective me thod had ever been developed for internal change. * However, what people interested in changing the system realized, people in charge of the system did not. So they continued to say "Love it or leave it" and "There are 2600 other . .. " etc. On the other hand, what people in charge of the system did realize was that no system could endure without at least tacit approval of the people in the system. Therefore, the people on top knew that if the people on the bottom couldn't be forced to leave, they had to be ostracized before they spread their discontentment. And this tactic was tried. But what happened was people continued to beget people and most of these people were people on the bottom. Discontentment grew. The system stood on the brink of collapse. Then people, both on the top and on the bottom (being the rational animals that they are?), realized if any were to survive, everybody had to cooperate. So they went about inventing an effective method so people within the system could change the system. And they all lived happily ever after ... (or so they'd like you to think). by Eric Mayer Hey, kids, let's all play a great new game. It's Conspiracy, Porker Brothers' game of police state tactics. It comes attractively packaged in a distinctive red, white and blue box and has been personally endorsed by U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell. And it's so easy to play. Just remember, act on impulse, prejudice or stupidity; us e anything but your mind. Any number can join in the fun. Have little conspiracies, big conspiracies, even invent yo ur own national communist plots, just like the real life Federal prosecutors. First you get warmed up by playing Rhetoric. Each player draws from the very official looking pile of ghost written rhetoric cards and attempts to spell out such household phrases as "impudent snob," "effete intellectual," and "fascis t pig." The player who yells out his phrase the loudest wins the "lower our voices" phase of the game, worth 20 points and the right to keep the Milhouse doll that plays the Star-Spangled Banner when you wind its head. Russian Club To Sponsor Yale Concert SI C g )5 ,;r, P age 3 Fresh from European and American concerts, the Yale University Russian Chorus will appear in th e First Presbyterian Church ·of WilkesBarre today at 8:30 p.m. Sponsored by the Yale University Alumni Association and appearing here under the auspices of the Wilkes College Russian Club, the concert is open to the public without admission charge. Committee members from the Russian Club are Kathleen Schirahman, Irene Colarusso, club president; Lillian Kowalski, Ken Patrician, Karen Bates, and Grace Richie. Since its inception in 1954, the 45-voice group of singers has sung and talked from San Francisco to Moscow, from the ghetto church in New Haven to the patriarchal cathedral in Bucharest. It has evoked standing ovations and silent tears, vociferous argument and mutual education. Since it was founded, it has built its unique approach to music and audience. Dennis Mickiewicz, a Latvianborn musi c student, assembled a group of students, undergraduate and graduate, w)10 had such a lively interest in Russian culture that they wanted at once to particip a te directly in this culture and to communicate their interest to others. The chorus, under the direction of Mr. Daniel Godfrey, is composed of both graduate and und ergraduat e students interested in Russ ian culture. The program will include folk, classical and liturgical selections. zr Then it's on to the halls of justice. The players choose sides: Government, Radicals, or Silent Majority. The Silent Majority then leaves the room until the conclusion of the game. Now the Government proceeds to choose any of the conservatively colored pawns, repr esenting such illus trio us figures as judges Hoffman, Haynsworth and Carswell. The Radicals receive pocket editions of the Dictionary of American Slang. Next the Grave National Crisis cards (with Agnew on the back) are shuffled by the Government which then draws a card from the bottom of the deck. The crisis, riots, peace march, student protest, Jo ye of freedom, etc., is note d. Quickly, the Government draws defendant pawns from the game box. The pawns, separated into various compartments, may be distinguished by their hairy or black appearance, and are labelled, for even easier discrimination, as professor, black militant, freak, baby doctor, and so on. After the random drawing of one defendant from each box, 5RY 5: c;o DH~EcTly To Oc> JRrl.,. No T by David Nicholson Three one-act plays, again directed by Wilkes College students, were presented in the Center for the Performing Arts on March 6, 7, 8. Although the thre e plays each took place in a room, this was their only similarity. The subject material focused on three entirely different scenes, from a hospital recuperation ward to an impressionistic home setting and finally, to the women's quarters of an insane asylum. "The Workhouse Ward," written by Lady Gregory, centered around the lives of two aged shut-ins in a poor-house, who had no one but each other to direct their miseryoriented statements. Elliot Rosenbaum and Joe Vojtko gave convincing performances as the two poverty-strick en inmates - their senile mannerisms and quavering speech fitted the characters' failing personalities. Debbie Chandler was adequate, but not as believable as her peers. Part of the trouble was due to poor make-up - Debbie looked more like a teenager with frosted hair than an elderly widow. In addition, both the male act-ors were covered with so many black crease marks that they appeared to have suffered through a fire rather than an arduous life. Set design was also lacking balance, with the superfluous door dispersing the tight continuity of the bed grouping which helped to strengthen the bond between the two men. Tad Mosel's "Impromptu" was the most abstract of the three plays, involving four actors who had been placed in a vague surrounding, ignorant of their purpose. Unforlu· nately, this play was not carried off as effectively as the other two, but the actors were not entirely to blame. All four gave interesting performances, but their. believability as actors was hampered by their poor diction - a mistake the directors should have noticed and corrected . Each player fitted into the four contrasting roles, but they became too engrossed with their part and the elocution suffered . Bob Sampson and Molly Jackiewi cz were forceful and dominant, while Al Adolphson and Eileen Rex played submissive roles, providing an interesting tug-of-war. The best was saved for last in "Chamber Music," an acco unt of the fe male ward of a m ental institution. Both the dir ec tor and the cast sho uld be commended for a successful play. the casting was done well, special thanks being given to Marlene Augustine, who handled her difficult role marvelously. Both Sandy Yucas and Nancy Halderman delivered their actions flawlessly and Judy Fried and Judy Sanger were perfect in th eir roles . Ella McNamara and Cynthia Lewis also handled their less exciting parts well. The directing was superb and surfaced a great deal of new and old talen t. It is refreshing to see students involved in the direction of playsvital experience for those who want to take up theatre upon graduating. However, it is important that these students be given free reign of their productions and not be hampered by "well-m eaning" advisors. PR:ss JusTICE ... WHAT• WHERE• WHEN the Government rudely throws its pawns down into the middle of the gameboard, screaming "Consiracy" (loudly enough so that the Silent Majority, watching TV in the next room, can hear) . It's almost time for the trial, but before that the Government players remove the blank, eagle-embossed, rule papers from the game box and retire to another room. Upon re turning, they present the rules they have just drawn up to the defendants. The defendants may not like these rules but if the Government players have done a good job it will be illegal even to prates t them. The pawns are then advanced around the board, according to the rules, naturally, and the defendants accumulate negative prejudice points for long hair and court room antics. Rhetoric is tossed around, witnesses are called. and judicial outrages committed. The game may seem endless but inevitably someone finally draws the "Julius Card" that says, "Go directly to jail." At this point the game appears to be meaningless, unless one of the victims becomes angered enough t-o snatch the gameboard up and throw it across the room, smashing it against the wall. On the bottom of the board, in small block letters, he will see printed, "Caution: This game is unconstitutional. Playing it may result in political vendettas and even death of individual freedom ." After which Porker Brothers will either have to throw out all those still unplayed games voluntarily, or see them des troy ed.

Proposals Exhibits At Conyngham Annex Submitted By , 'New Committee I: I1\,I J ~t ~ The Oriental influence upon the work of Wilkes student Na Kyung Lee adds an interesting facet to the exhibit at Conyngham Annex Gallery. Na Kyung uses many kinds of media to express the emotion which is obvious in her work. Most pleasing to this reviewer was her masterful control of the graphic medium. In graphics, her work reflects a strong and solid dimension - relating both negative and positive shapes in a highly coordinated and successfully functioning result. Na Kyung has also carried this quality into her watercolors. These paintings, though seemingly light and delicate, are a combination of strong demonstrative strokes and shapes which form a unified theme. The paintings reflect an individual nature which, more than Korean, is Na Kyung's own. The influence of a person's environment upon his work is easily interpreted in this exhibit. The style, the subject matter, the nature of her work can change by location, but the latent influence remains. The show is quite good and highly representative of Na Kyung's ability. Revelotions of Bohoulloh To Be Discussed Tomorrow The third in a series of Baha'i meetings will be held on Saturday, March 14, at 8 p .m. in Bedford Hall.

The book exchange program calls for the purchasing of books at a reduced rate and suggests running this bookstore by students in the Harding Road Building. Tentative plans set the installation of this project by April. The New Committee also read a proposal for extended hours in the Library. The tentative proposal calls for hours to be extended to 12 midnight every day but Friday and Saturday, which will be 10 and 9 p.m., respectively. The third proposal, unlimited cuts, recommends that students be granted an unlimited cut system. The underlying principle of the pro posal deals with the maturity ·of the students and their right to act responsibly. The final proposal submitted by the New Committee suggests that the four class officers of the four classes be required to meet in a joint session on a regular basis. Their function would be to coordinate class . projects and direct solutions to the problems. It was also announced by the New Committee that on March 14, Mike White, a semi-professional folk singer, will appear at the Commons. The show begins at 9 p.m. and will continue to closing. Mr. White is in the process of cutting an album and has released records. New Committee Plans Parkade For Students by How ie June As any day-hop knows, Wilkes College has a parking problem. Almost no space is provided by the college for over 1,000 students who have no choice but to drive to school. The chaos that dominates the struggle for a parking place is deplorable. Prodded by this observation, the New Committee recently began to integrate this dilemma. A survey of the area parking lots was taken, and it was found that the new parkade on South Main Street would be the most advantageous to Wilkes. In addition to a good location, it offered the fairest and cheapest prices. On March 4 the committee met with Dean Ralston and presented its views . In the discussion, it was learned the ownership had made Wilkes an offer last year to open parking spaces for its students. However, it had not been followed up. Apathy strikes again. On Friday, March 6, Dean Rome and Mr. Abate met with the owner of the parkade and discussed the problem. At a third meeting, also in Friday, the New Committee was informed that in all probability Wilkes College will be able to reserve an area of the parkade. The Administration is now waiting for word from owners as to what special rates may be available for Wilkes students. The College does feel, however, that it is necessary for it to subsidize student parking. On Friday, March 16, supervisors in the Commons game room will begin taking names of those who wo uld be interested in using this plan. It sh ould be emphasized that the plan would run from Monday through Friday. It is requested th at. only the students sign up w h o are sure they will use this parkad e. Should more students be interested than space a llows, parking perm its will be sold [b y th e b u siness office) in t h e order in which the nam es appear on th e sign-up sh eets. by Sally Donoho me MEETING, MARCH 2 Topics on the agenda included the Foreign Orphan Fund, Dormit Visitation, the Sturdevant fire, the band concert, and the newly propo all-campus Judiciary System. Concerning the Foreign Orphan Fund, IDC has decided to suppoll a child in a foreign country through high school and college. PreviouslJ, IDC had a fund for a student to come to Wilkes, but the student co~ not meet the requirements and alternate arrangements had to be madt It was announced that the first weekend of dormil'ory visitatiol went well and without any violations. The men are reminded that theJ must sign the girls out. It was also suggested that the men in the YMCA be transferred to the newly purchased apartments and that the YMCA be reserved for people not wishing dormitory visitation. Because of last week's fire at Sturdevant Hall, discussion arose OVII fire drills and what steps JDC would take to help Miss Nancy Haldeman. It was disclosed that a ll men's dormitories will have three fire drills during the semester. IDC also unanimously passed the appropriation of funds to Miss Haldeman to replace her books that were lost in the fire. On March 13, 14 and 15 a band concert will take place at the !rem Temple involving 124 students from all over Pennsylvania. !DC was asked to help accommodate these students, of which there are 37 women and 87 men. All women guests will follow the curfews set up by the college. Considerable discussion developed over the newly-proposed all-col· lege Judiciary System. Many suggestions were heard including: in relation to the size of the body, the appointment -or election, number of people and from what fractions of the college, and requirements. Interested students are reminded that IDC holds its meetings OD Mondays at 5:30 p.m. in Stark 109. STUDENT GOVERNMENT, MARCH 5 The meeting was marked by the acquisition of new members from the junior and sophomore classes. Topics ·of discussion included: The Russian Club, the Sturdevant fire, Women's Activity Association, the radio station, a student court, elections, dances, old proposals, the New Committee and the Social Events Committee. The Russian Club is sponsoring a group of Russian Club singers from Yale University tonight at the First Presbyterian Church. The concert is at 8:30 and admission is free. Following the concert, members are invited to a dinner at the dining hall. Members of Circle K at the meeting disclosed they are going to sponsor a fund-raisin g drive for Nancy Haldeman, the girl who lost .all her belongings in the recent ·Sturdevant fire. The .c ampaign is also gmng to collect money for a future fund in case an accident like this should occur again . The Women 's Athletic Association asked for funds for the newly· formed Strutter Group. The request was referred to the Athletic Committee . A decision will be made before Easter vacation. News of funds for the Wilkes College radio station was received from Dan Flood , congressman from Pennsylvania. It was disclosed that funds could be obtained if the radio station was to be an educational one on the FM band. Dr. Stanley Holden was appointed faculty advisor and Bill Bush er has be en appointed student advisor. Plans call for a radio station by the Fall on a format similar to that of the King's Col· lege radio station. All interested students are urged to contact either of these people. The plans for a Student Court were disclosed and the need for a proposal has been cited. Discussion arose over the type of court, size, who should be involved and its function. This is the same court system that has also be en proposed by IDC. Considerable discussion arose over the dances that are currently being held in the gym. A question has arisen as to whether dances will be dropped next year because of damage to the gym floor. It was also discussed as to who should control the dances - SG or the clubs. No decisions has been reached. There has been no word on the calendar change for next year or the proposal for no curfews for women. Tae curfew proposal is pending because there has not be en a decision on how to admit the girls to the locked dormitori es. The New Committee, represented by Howard Tune, submitted various proposals and announced that on March 14 a semi-professional folk singer will appear at the Commons. [See larger article for details on the proposals.) ·T he Social Events Committee announced that "The Canned Heat" is tentatively scheduled for Spring Weekend. "The Turtles" will not appear because the group has been dissolved. In conjunction with "The Canned Heat," "The Rhinoc eros" will appear at the concert to be held at Kingston Armory. All Wilkes College students will be admitted free. (EDITORS' NOTE : A retraction is necessary for a mistake printed in the February 20th issue of THE BEA CON.

On March 3, the Bar dropped Priapus, 58-55, in overtime. Shaw paced the winners .with 17 markers while Rudi Thornton was high man for ·P riapus. Both teams played a balanced game as each player scored 'in double figures . With Sokolowsky netting 20 points, the Fick 'Ems drubbed the Bombers, 63-51. Kovaleski paced the losers with 15. After being humiliated by the Hourglass two weeks ago, it seems that the Bombers ran out of gas a little too early in the season. In what seemed to be a grudge match, Circle K defeated the Cogs, 71-55. In their earlier meeting this year, the Cogs lost, but protested the game. There was no protest this time, however. John Clark led . the K's with 23 but Cogs ' Dave Bright took the scoring honors by netting 25. The Cogs finished the regular season in good position, ranked one place ahead of the Circle K but only Bright scored consistently for them as they went down to defeat. The four top-rated teams, Warner, Hourglass, Faculty, and Fick 'Ems, are still in the running for the title and at this point are the favorites to win it. In the final games of the regular season, the YMCA knocked off Bruch, 5-43 . Tom Page led the Y with 38 markers and Jim Kastilani led the Bruchmen with 17.

The secondplace team managed but 64. Perhaps no one wrestler dominated the tournament as did Marfia. The Easton native won each bout on the way to become the champion by a pin. For this he was awarded the event's "Outstanding Wrestler" award, an award which, to put it simply, he deserves. recap of ,ws a tale Dean Georg e Ra l ston Wrestl e r J ohn Marfia. co n g r atu lates Outstandin1 when he commented, "I think I'm up for a little more than a pizza tonight," at the end of the tournament. But when one speaks of Marfia, it's quite difficult to keep the name of Andy Matviak out of the conversation, for both captained this year's mat team and both exemplified the history of the rnatrnen over the past four years. Ron Fritts, who missed the last four dual meets due to an injured shoulder, was ready to go all the way at 190 pounds as he too wrestled his best last weekend. The only ob· stacle in Ron's way for a title was one Tom Field of E-town. Ron had lost to him ear· lier in the year by a 12-2 score. But it looked as though Field caught Ron off guard that time as there was no way Ron was going to lose this one. He jumped off to a 5-0 lead in the first period and was never threatened after that. As time ran out, Ron joyfully jumped up and down on the mat for his most gratifying win. He was greeted by assistant coach Ted Toluba and told him: "We have a lot of champs on this team, don't we!" Coach To· luba responded, grinning, "Yea, and a hot· dog, too." And it was equally difficult to designate one of them as the outstanding wrestler for they both, in addition to Al Zeiner, had brilliant tournaments. Andy had been denied an MAC title ever since he began wrestling for Wilkes and he wasn't going to let his last opportunity slip by. With all his determination and skill, Andy went out and copped his first title. At 158 pounds, Zelner finished a tremendous undefeated du al-meet season as 10 of his 12 victories were by pins. He continued right through the tournament as his firs t three bouts were won by pins. In the final bout, however, he decisioned Gary Nussbaum for the win. Perhaps his greatest and unbelievable bout came in the opening round. Al was ,b ehind 6-0 and was on his back when, before you could say "Snake," he threw a move and pinned his man.

"What a night!" exclaimed co-captain Joh n Marfia as the work, sweat, and dedication of the past four years was evident on his face after the Colonel grapplers had captured the championship in the MAC Tournament. •B ut it was no ordinary tournament. Dennis Verzera placed third at 142 pounds. Leo Roan, Torn Morris, and Gerry Willets all lost in the consolation round. However, Ger· ry had defeated the champ in his division, Mike Helm of Elizabethtown, earlier last year. Steve Kaschenbach, champ at 150 pounds, performed well throughout the tourney, better than he wrestled in dual-meet competition. Rich Ceccoli promised a championship at 177 pounds and he delivered. Rich appeared to be tired in the middle of his final bout but finished strong to win by decision. standing performances were named to the All-American wrestling team for that year. In the following season Andy started things off right by winning the Wilkes Open, and John finished the season by gaining a Middle Atlantic championship in the 130-pound class. Both John and Andy concluded their collegiate careers brilliantly as each became MAC champs this year. ·B y virtue of four pins, John was elected Outstanding Wrestler of the tourney. Coach Reese commented, "They're both one in a million. No one worked harder than they did all year. They're irreplaceable." With the MAC tournament over, teammate Ron Fritts walked over to Andy, who was holding his medal, and inquired what it was. Andy responded, "It's something I've worked for for four years." Both wrestlers reached the same pinnacle - MAC champs-but each had different styles to get there. John depends on the strength of his hands and wrists to control his opponent. He concentrates around the head and squeezes his opponent's wrists. He doesn' t move as much as Andy does , but he is more explosive. Andy is best described as perpetual motion on the mat; he always moves and always looks for the pin. His best move is a shoulder roll, which he has learned to perfection. · But either way one looks at it, they're both champs - on and off the mat. ANDY MATVIAK "::~, I "What A Night" by Stan Pearlman Two of the finest grapplers in the history of Wilkes College, John Marfia and Andy Matviak, will be graduated this June, and with their departure the school will lose two of its most outstanding all-around students. Since coming here in September of 1966, Andy and John have contributed to the school in many ways. John has been President of the Lettermen's Club, Secretary of Roosevelt Hall, as well as a member of the soccer team; and previous season. John in his first Andy has served as Secretary of year here at Wilkes had a record the Lettermen's Club, as well as a of 7-2, in 1968, 12-3; 1969, 11-1; and member of the soccer team.

It began to pay off in their senior year, as Andy improved his record to 14-2, and John, to 10-1-2. Still, neither was able to get beyond the sectionals in the Easton District tournament, and if it hadn't ·been for the guidance of their high schol coach, John Maitland, and the foresight ·of Coach Reese neither would have made it to Wilkes. Coach Rees e tells the story this way. "I was interested in another wrestler on the Easton team, named fohn Marthinson who was a district champion that year, ·but Coach Maitland also recommended John and Andy. All thre e came up to see the school, and all three were ac: epted. Only John and Andy de:ided on Wilkes, however, and Marthinson went to Lycoming. Happily for .us we've gotten the best of the :leal since Marthinson has had a ,eries of physical mishaps and has men little action for Lycoming." Andy and John expressed their feelings about corning to Wilkes this way. "We both wanted to go together to a superior small school, 11ot too far from home. After seeing :he school and talking to Coach Reese, we decided on Wilkes." Since corning here to school, the 'dynamic duo" has each year irn1roved upon their record of the Friday, March 13, 1970 As Coach Reese pointed out, "The boys were ready tonight and they were all great." Two reasons why they were ready have to be his two indescribable captains, Matviak and ·Marfia. Their services to the team and the school are hard to put into words but let it suffice that they did the job of captain as well as anyone ever did, and then some. tly downs at the e ,ned with o tough clul .aca.

A recap of the Colon els' season shows a tale of ups and downs mostly downs at the beginning and ups at the end. The Wilkesmen opened with road victories over two tough clubs, Madison FDU and Ithaca. Spirits were high as the team bus pulled into Selinsgrove High School to play the Susqu ehanna Crusaders. That al1ernoon started the Colonels down as the Crusaders handed Wilkes a sound thrashing. Next came an unb elievable loss at Philadelphia Pharm acy, followed by a loss to Elizabethtown in the home opener. This put tho Colonels' record at 2-3. Coach Rainey's charges hit the rebound trail with a victory over hapless Drew, followed by impressive wins over Susqu ehanna and Lycoming at home.

When asked his feelin gs on th e recently completed campaign, Coach Ron Rainey replied, "Yes, I was pleased with the seas·on - especially the way we played in th e last month ." Coach Rainey credited th e Colonel surge to th e ou tstan ding play of Herb Kemp and Rich Davis, co u pled with good performan ces b y Wally Umbach, Jay Reimel, Dave Kurosky, Bill Grick, and T erry Jon es. Rainey continu ed, " Sin ce we don 't have that on e p layer in the superstar category who can carry our team , we h ave to h ave gnod perfo rman ces from everyb ody to win ball games. Toward th e end of th e season, th e boys fo und this ou t and resp onded to th e challen ge. With each game they gained co nfidence, which th e record shows." Jay Reime l, the Colon els' ball handler par excellence, and Dave Kurosky, the to ugh soph forward, also received p lau dits fro m Coach Rainey. Reime l accumulated 216 assists th is year - a Wilkes record and Kuros k y had several fine reboun ding gam es after cracking the starting lin eup. board berths ·o n the team when practice starts next Fall. Rainey feels that the win over Wagner was the turning point of the season. Much of the credit for that victory he gives to Billy Grick. Grick saw his first action of th e year in that game and inspired the Colonels to come back from a 30poin t deficit to score their biggest victo ry of the year. When asked about his recruiting campaign for next season, th e Baron of Northeastern Pennsylvania remarked, "Of course, Tom McMillan is coming, and I think we'll get a couple other good kids." Some of the more significant accomplishments of the season were the Colonels' first victory over Wagner, Umbach's entrance into the 400-point clu b, Kemp's 1,000th career rebound, the Colonels' third straight winning season, and the matching of their previous high of 14 wins. Coach Rainey expects continued success next year for the Colonels. With only two players gone via gradu ation and a fine crop of freshmen moving into the varsity ranks, Rain ey expects a real scramble for At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that the thud of basketballs and the chatter of the team are gone. These removals are temporary as they will return with the onset of practice next October. However, some parts of Wilkes basketball are gone for good. H erb Kemp and ·B ob Ockenfuss will be graduated in June. Herb and Ocky had a great deal to do with establishing a winning tradition here at Wilkes and both played integral parts in shaping Coach Rain ey's three consecutive winning seasons. Both will be missed. Also gone will be Chuck Lengle who, in his own way, has contributed to Wilkes basketball.

In fact, it's som ewhat of a status symbol, because people who read with their hands are graduates of the Evelyn Wood Course. ' The h a nd , however , h as n 't a lways been the symbol of rapid r eading. The old method of teaching students to increase their reading speed was to equip them with a r ea ding machin e. The theory was that a motorized arm on the machine would extend out over the page. Th e arm wou Id move down the page at a steady _speed. Hopefully, your eyes w ould go along fo1· the ride. The machin e, w hil e seemingl y a good idea, didn't li ve up to its expectations. It couldn't s low down when the reader ran into a confusing passage . And it was too awkwa rd to use in easy chairs or beds. In 1945, Evelyn Wood discove1·ed the hand as a device fo1· re a ding faster. H e1· 1·eason for using the hand as a too l was to "give my stude nts the a bility to read groups of words at a time and to increase their concentration so they won't h ave to go back a nd re-read so often." He1· principle worked. Since 1959 , 450,000 people have taken the Evelyn Wood Course and have increased their reading speed by an ave rnge of 4.7 times.

Community Plans Made By Project Reach-out Project Reach-Out, sponsored by Student Government, held a meeting recently to discuss plans for this semester. The purpose of this group is to promote student interest in the community and to bring a little happiness into the lives of deserving persons who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go places and see things that we take for granted. On past projects, the program has worked with children from St. Stanislaus' Institute and ·St. Michael's School for Boys. Children were taken to football game, Christmas parties held, and picnics sponsored. It is planned in the future to work with senior citizens as weU as the children. The first project for this semester will be a trip to Hershey. Scheduled to go are about 50 children from a Wilkes-Barre Commission on Economic Opportunity Community Center for low income families. The unit also is planning to tour the chocolate factory, the amusement park and the zoo. This bus trip will be on either a Saturday or Sunday; tenta:tive dates are April 18 or 19 or April 25 or 26. Insurance will be provided for the ch'ildren. Students who are interested in helping to give these children a memorable day are asked to attend a meeting on March 24 at 11 a.m. in Stark 109 (signs will be p osted) and to sign up so that final details can be worked out. If you cannot attend, please give your name and phone number to •a frie nd who can attend or to Wilh elmin a Quinn or Jack Blann et. After Eas ter, on April 7, the first Tuesday afte r vacation, there will be anot h er m eetin g. The second project for the semester will be a picnic for a group of chHdren in May b efor e the semester ends. Plans for this picnic will b e discussed at a fu ture meeting. Board Considers College Polities Topics of discussion at today's Board of Trustees' meeting include: the impact of taxes on independent colleges, student visitation, and the character of the college. It has been brought to the attentention of the Administrators at the college that independent colleges may be taxed. There is great consternation concerning what impact these taxes will have on the status of independent colleges. If enacted, public institutions would receive between ·$ 1,000 and $2,000 a year from the tax monies of independent colleges. Dr. Eugene S. Farley feels that it is important that the independent colleges remain independent. In addition, the Board of Trustees will consider the dormitory visitation and gDvernance plan. Even though the plan has been approved by the Administration, it must be approved by th e Board of Trustees before a policy change can b e made. Th e Board of Trustees will also con tinu e its discussion as to t h e character of the college. It is fe lt that th e college mus t establish and maintain a peculiar character of its own in this time of "fermen t." Not only is character importan t fo r dis- ' tinguishing a school, but it is equally important for th e students, faculty, Adminis trati on and trustees to identify and commit themselves to th e character of a schoo]. by Ronnie Lustig In recen t months, Wilkes has been plagued by bomb scares, arson attempts, and actual fires. It seems like it all began with the Conyngham fire, December, 1968. Ever since, places like Stark Hall have been the scenes of numerous attempts at arson. Last month, someone set fire to trash cans outside the library. Our most recent incident was a fire in Sturdevant Hall, a girls' dorm. The above had prompted this writer to conduct an independent survey of the condition of fire extinguishers in campus buildings. Only th en did I find that the maintenance department, headed by Nelson Carle, was conducting its own inspection on behalf of the college. The maintenance department, under constant pressure from the city, has sole charge of keeping the extinguishers in an operable condition. They had all been inspected in January 1968 and 1969. The department got bogged down with extra work after the Christmas recess and, consequently, is -about one month behind with the 1970 inspection. A detailed inspection takes about one month to complete. It should ·b e stressed that the work is being done and that the department 'i s not negligent of its resp onsibility. According to Mr. Carle, "I have been fire-conscious ever since the Conyngham fire." Fire extinguish ers used on campus cost an average of $60 each. Eliminatin g theft and providing there are no air or pressure leaks, the water and air type extinguishers can last four to five years without inspecti on. But this is n ot an excu se for an intentional oversight. I fo und Parrish Hall to be in poor condition. According to Mr. Carle, it is th e w or st building on campus concerning fire extinguishers, which isn't a very comfortable thou ght con sidering the number of people that use th e b uilding. Some extinguish ers have been inspected as recently as March 10, 1970 (one had already developed a leak and was registering "discharged") . The fifth fl oor had one with no tag and the other was dated April 22, 1966. Th e first and second floor each had ·o ne checked on January 14, 1969 and both were on the borderline of being charged and discharged (closer to the latter). Fire Exits Unmarked Another dangerous aspect of Parrish Hall is that none of the fire exits are marked as such. As a matter of fact, they look like closet doors. This isn't very encouraging because it requires a great deal of daring to take the elevator 'in Parrish. The hamsters that operate it might be affected by the smoke. Actually, the proper signs have been ordered. One wonders why they •a re just being ordered. In the event that you are trapped in Miner Hall, it is strongly suggested tha:t you use the windows or escapes. The doors in that building open inward . In reference to Sturdavent Hall, there were supposed to b e two extinguishers within 20 feet of the fire, yet no one thought to use them. The girls later complained that they are too heavy to lift off the walls, which may very well be true for a girl. This has prompted the college to inquire about a smaI!er type fire extinglisher for a housemother or a girl to use. All in all, have no fear. If a fire breaks out in your building (and let's pray the plague is over), you will be safe. For those of you who find the two hidden extinguishers in the Commons dated April 14, 1966 - don't panic, their inspection will be brought up to date this month, providing anyone finds them. Also, the ancient date doesn't mean it is an antique. Chances are it works. In the event of an actual fire, don't panic, rather follow the basic procedures we learned from fire drills in grade school, and maybe even try an extinglisher. You may be in for a surprise, one way or the other. Let's face it, it's either going to drip out or spray out, but something has to happen!

As a co-editor I believe that students have a right to be heard, they have the right to know the goings on of the campus, and they have the right to read and interpret things as they please. They also have the right to have an editor who is honest not only with her self but with others. It is easy to write an editorial supporting proposals and policy changes that are best for the students. It is more difficult to find errors and then make constructive recommendations. And, it is most difficult to choose a candidate to support all students when you must be honest with yourself as well as all the students. Next Tuesday, each student has the privilege to vote for the next president of SG - a privilege in the respect that each student's vote is recognized, counted , and appreciated. Each student has the right to be heard and he is going to be heard. Before you are three capable people. They must be capable or else they wouldn't have been elected to the offices they now have. Before you are three experienced people. Aldo Farnetti has been president and vice-president of his class. Danny Brew and Stephen Kubricki have been members of SG . What kind of criteria do you set up to evaluate three capable, experienced people? This year has been marked by much change and controversy, yet some things remained stable - honesty, trust, and understanding. These are the criteria on which these three people must be evaluated. Each student must evaluate the candidates not on promises or experience , but on something more - a subjective value. The value is who you th ink is the " most honest, the most trustworthy, and the most understanding of your needs, the students' needs. l.c/tuJ ~ernilu/J lliclcgiJt Simple Suggestions We understand that the College has "solved" the problem of how to handle the no-curfew proposal. Girls coming in after the freshman and sophomore curfew hours are expected to go to the New Men's Dorm to sign in and out and be escorted back to each dorm by a security guard. Before we state our reasons for disapproving of this decision - we would at least like to congratulate the person who came up with this suggestion - not for his intelligence, but for his ingenuity! We hope he has a vast store of it, because as we anticipate the complications that may arise from this way of handling the problem , we realize that it will take ingenuity to wend one's way through the complicated maze. In the first place, it seems absurd to make a girl walk to the New Men's Dorm if she lives several blocks in an other direction. It is not merely a matter of inconvenience, it is dangerous. We also pity the poor security guard who may be confronted with 10 girls from 10 different dorms all at once. We do not know if he will act as Pied Piper leading the entire group from dorm to dorm , or whether he will make 10 separate trips from the men's dorm to the womer]' s dorms. Even though it sounds humorous, we also wonder how it will be when a girl returns to the campus in less than a stable state of mind and must ask the guard to escort her home! We also anticipate the slightly embarrassing sight of a girl , her date, and the noble security guard walking down the street in a cozy threesome. We wonder who kisses the girl good-night, and if the guard will be enough of a psychologist to turn away rather than embarrass the couple. Of course, this could provide the greatest handshaking epidemic this campus has ever seen! We cannot help but wonder if this bright solution to a problem is not part of a conspiracy (perhaps subconscious) to make the no-curfew as inconvenient and difficult as possible. Indeed, several coeds have commented that it would be easier to get in on time rather than go through the silly routine of marching to the men's dorm. We cannot understand why each dorm is not issued several keys which could be signed out, and returned the following day. A lost key would result in a $10 fine - surely enough to prod anyone into being careful with it! ·~ To the Editors: It appears, at leas! in this "politician's" mind, that our Biology ex• pert cannot "see the forest for the trees." May I respectfully remind him that it wasn't long ago when another "incipient politician" sought representation on WikesBarre City Council. Without a doubt, there were campaign posters , "back in them days." Perhaps they were not l;lS colorful as our own, but undoubtedly just as flagrant and just as unlawful. If our fair city had enforced said fines in that campaign, maybe we would not be burdened with the high taxes we are now paying. BIOLOGISTHEAL THYSELF! Jim Loftus To the Editors: That Walter and Mike were found were found "guilty until proven innocent" in the eyes of the college should be sufficient reason to instigate an immediate reordering of priorities with respect to the college Administration and its students. The dissembled paper policies of this college cannot continue to outweigh human deference on issues of individual freedom. No college has the right to play games with the lives and futures of its students. The teleology of this college should (re]orient itself toward the best interest of its students, and as is now clearly the case with Walter and Mike, it did not do so.

Kupchynski THE BEACON 'Peace 1aJt' ~c,eduled To the Editors: After many months of low-key, grass-roots organizing against the war, we feel it is again time for a dramatic protest. Therefore, on April 13-15 there will be a threeday "Peace Fast" to demonstrate our deep moral commitment against the Vietnam War. Fasting has long been -associated with distress and mourning. This is one of the purposes of the Fast - to recall all those who have died, North and South, American and Vietnamese-and to admit our complicity in the immorality ·of the war and in their dying. The Fast is also a time of purification and rededication - to the peace movement, to one's personal beliefs and actions, for the justice of the cause without being selfrighteous, and for non-violent social change in the tradition of Ghandi. ·W e need your endorsement to make this a major event in the effort to · bring aU our troops home Editors-in-Chief. . .. ...

Evidence of this is the student representation on fac ulty committees initiated last semester and the system of self-governance by students of the Visitation Hours Program put into effect just a short time ago. Furthermore, there is the great possibility of having a student Judicial Court established in the near future for the purpose of adjudicating decisions in the area of student affairs. There is, therefore a very tremendous and growing need for both day and dorm students to take an active interest in not only their academic affairs, but also their social affairs. ily about three ,rium was full. with a lecturer ire would be I was als o disw members of ull themselves usy schedules :e. another point, and unlimited raculty should s a man who ;, many faculty book for their 1ptivated audiayed from the , his audience THE BEACON fleet upon the past and present actions of the candidates in regard to student affairs.

Henceforth, it is the fi. nal purpose of this article to merely ask for your faith in me as a trustworthy and responsible candidate for the office of president of Student Government. The need has als <:1" become increasingly evident for capable and knowledgeable leadership to direct, formulate, and channel student opinion and activism. Recent student opinion and activism displayed itself in the meetings held in the gymnasium and in the New Men's Dormitory concerning the proposals presented to the Administrative Council last month. Student opinion and activism is just now being heard over the issues concerning the increase in the Student Activities Fee from $10 to $25. It is clearly by Stephen Kubricki evident that the positions of leadership are now and will continue Student Government cannot be to become increasingly important effective if it deals with wornon this campus.

More often than not, we find ourselves concerned with the effects of a proposed change; instead of being concerned about the reasons why this change has not come about, or why it has taken so long to occur. The process of change at Wilkes has been slow. Is it because our institution is producing such a satisfactory brand of citizen that it can afford to let well enough alone? I think not. Is it because we have been condiby Denny Brew tioned so that great changes are not expected?

The seniors responsible for our numbers we add still more producers who in turn multiply and so on and so on and so on . . . We are faced with two alternatives. First, we can ignore the whole problem of over-population and consequent pollution (this has been the prevalent attitude]. If man is, in essence, an animal like unto all other animals, this attitude should lead to so me form of self destruction (plague, war, increased suicide - the variations are many) which would return the population to the level the environment can support. Or, we can begin (1) some kind of national birth regulation and (2) some form of environmental awareness program which would acquaint individuals with their responsibility to their environment. Rational birth control is a topic which needs much investigation and discussion. It is also a topic which inflames the emotions of advocates of free expression. Since this article has as its main goal the presentation of a new organization here at Wilkes, such d iscussion will be tabled for further articles. This organization is the Wilkes College Student Committee for a Clean Environment. Its main p urpose will be to provid e a channel through which interested persons can unite in their efforts to arouse the more apa:thetic element of the population. (Mr. Agnew's "silent majority" may be substittued here]. In the first two weeks of its existence, this organization has succeeded in (1) generating enough interest in Tinicum Marsh to obtain ,a temporary injunction halting work; (2) been invited to help organize a raft race with King's College during the Cherry Blossom Festival ; (3) formulated plans to involve Wilkes on April 22, Earth Day. The Tinicum Marsh action was based primarily on the efforts of two students, Dave Brandon and Tom Selecky. Motivated by an announcement by Dr. Harold Cox in one of his classes, they b egan to enlist political figures ranging from the crossing guard at th e WilkesBarre Court House to the Secre tary of the U.S. Department of. the Interior.

The poe m, written on the death of Abraham Lincoln, was a most fitting text for a requiem composed to express mankind's mourning for the many war dead of W .W . I and indeed for the death of the American leader and symbol of th e war efforts of Franklin Roosevelt. Hindemith's Requiem was finished in New Haven on April 20, 1946 and received its first pe rformance ·on May 14, 1946 with Robert Shaw conducting. It was not until April 1963 tha:t the work received a second performance, this time conducted by the composer himself. Paul Hindemith died shortly thereafter. The Wilkes Chorus, 83 studenll, is proud to present such a master work to the campus and community. Indeed, the 83 student mem· bers have been working diligently musically.

John Marfia paced the squad with a second-place finish while Andy Matviak placed third. Marfia and Matviak, the only Wilkes wrestlers to place in the top four, will wrestle in the NCAA University Division March 26, 27, 28, and 29 at Northwestern University. Ron Fritts pinned his first opponent at 190 pounds but was defeated by his foe from Amherst in the second round. Leo Roan advanced to the second round via a bye and won an 8-2 decision. He then opposed a 240-pound heavyweight and was pinned in his third round. The only other teams which finished in the top ten from the East were New York Maritime, third; Springfield, eighth; and Wilkes.

D01nzalski Cites Ballclub's 6t6tGr·e at Attitude'',.,,,. No Depth In his first year as head baseball coach, Gene Domzalski is faced with a serious conflict. That is, inexperience and a.lack of depth versus what he calls "a great attitude" on the part of his ballplayers. Lack of depth is a serious problem. Since it cannot use freshmen, due to MAC rules, the coaching staff is forced to use only upperclassmen. This is significant, since in past years at least two or three frosh have held regular positions on the varsity. Coach Domzalski maintained that all positions are open, but the following players will probably be starters at one position or another. Sophomore Ted Sokolowski and southpaw Joe Zakowski will rotate as starting pitchers. Zak is also one of three captains . John Baranoski will man the bullpen for relief work and also be a spot starter. Lewis and Dennis Brew are fighting given "every opportunity" to play, for the shortstop position. Lewis according to Domzalski. has been back-up shortstop for the Domzalski, a former professional past two seasons. player himself in Triple-A ball, is joined on the coaching staff by assistant coach Jonah Gubeck. Former St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Bob Du· Hba will be helping out fo r a week, as he does every year. Dornzalski commented: "I'm looking forward to the sea· son.

Lacrosse, which originated with the Comanche Indians as a preparation for battle, is a relatively new sport in terms of popularity and a young sport in terms of the number of schools which feature lacrosse as a varsity sport. Wilkes is one of no more than 150 schools throughout the United States does have a team. Under the direction of Jon Habrock, some 40 players started practice two weeks ago in preparation for the second year of lacrosse at Wilkes. Last year the team played only three games but won two, both against Kutztown State ' College. This season, however, there are seven contests, four at home. Lacrosse was a strange sport to most of iea- atooton't rn'll for \ ,l\ , .. · · Lacrosse, he said, was a battle with rules. It combines the skills of football, s·o ccer, and ·· · · · • basketball, and takes as much skill to play as does tennis, which is a great deal. There are 10 men on a side, each armed with a stick with a leather webbing on top, called the crosse, with which the player can throw, catch, and shoot the ball. He can also hit his opponent with the stick, which is done frequently . k ,, flME I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. I p.m. l p.m. ) p.m. the players, and perhaps still is. This reporter hadn't seen an official game until he played in one. To clear up the matter, Coach Habrock called a team meeting a while ago to explain the fundamentals of the game. _ \ ,'r There are four positions: midfield, attack, defense, and goalie. The midfielders transport the ball from the defensive half of the field to the offensive, so their team can score . The attackers do the shooting, with help from the middies. If they miss and the opposing middies get the ball to their attackers, it is up to the defensemen to halt their progress and prevent a goal. The goalie protects the goal, which is a six-foot square. ) p.m. l p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. 0 p.m. Page 7 THE BEACON Coach Habrock then got down to specifics. "We're probably the most physical team any team we play will face." With this, cheers broke out from the assembled players. "However, we'll practice fundamental skills more this year (laughter] since we won't be able to out-physical everyone." Our mo,od turned a bit uneasy when he continued: · "Last y~ar we outscored our opponents 13-3 in the final quarter. This means we were in better shape than they were. Gentlemen, this ye ar will be no different." And suddenly every returning player thought of one thing- the dike. The dike is the route the coach makes us run daily around Kirby Park, but it isn't quite as bad as we make it seem. Athletic Director John Reese recently announced the hiring of former Wilkesman Tom Rokita as the new soccer coach and assistant tennis coach. Rokita replaces Jim Nedoff as coach for the boaters, who was dismiss ed at the conclusion of this past season. Rokita brings with him plenty of spirit and know-how but not much experience. A 1968 Wilkes graduate, Tom played varsity so ccer for four years and captained the squad in his senior year. The new boater coach also captained the tennis team while he roamed the courts in his sophomore, junior, and senior years. His only coaching experience, however, came at the Wyoming Seminary Day School where he coached fifth and sixth grade basketball. But those who know him have faith. Mr. Reese commented, "He's a real good man to have on the staff. The most trouble he'll have is to set up the entire soccer program but we'll help him along with that." Athletic director John Reese (right) congratulates Tom Rokita on his Rokita himself felt, "I'm pretty enthusiastic about next season and recent appointment as new soccer coach .

Nex t week, from April 23 through 25, the Wilkes College Theatre production of Thornton Wilder's 1942 Pulitzer Prize winning play "Skin Of ' Our Teeth" will be p·resented to the public. The three -act play, deemed wild and wacky co m edy, deals with the attempts of the human race to create a peaceful nature. It shows how, despite the battle with the natural and social forces which have al most wrecked the world, man has held on by the "Skin Of Our Teeth." But man's survival is based upon more than a simple struggle. Survival depends upon the meaning man associa tes with his family, his ability to create imaginatively and on the strength to adapt to changing conditions. Me mbers of this large cast are : Rita Singer as Sabina, Robert Hegyes as Antrobus; Deb hie Dunleavy as Mrs. Antrobus ; Elliot Stahler, Sandy Yucas, Joe Vojtko, Dennis English, Lorraine Zurick, Eileen Rex, Debbie Chandler, Joe Urban, Bob Sampson, Evan Thomas, Michael Gallagher, Felix Wawer. Also Molly Jackiewicz, Elaine Watso n, Nancy Haldeman, Jerry McAfee, Bob Hartzel, Al Adolfsen, Judy Sanger, Melissa Burdick, Julie Morse, Judy Fried, Cathy Chandler and Ella McNamara, The play will be presented to high school audiences as a preview perfo rmance Thursday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Center for the P erforming Arts. The show will run through Saturday, April 25, with curtain time at 8:30 p.m. Tickets can be obtained at the theater box office. The first performance of "The Skin of Our Teeth" took place at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, Connecticut, on October 15, 1942. It opened in New York at the Plymouth Theater on Nove mb er 18.

The purpose - to educate the people about what can be done with environmental pollution. THE BEACON wants to thank Jack Blannet, Tom Selecky, Dave Brandon, and Dr. Bruch for their efforts in this project. The slogan, 'The whole world is watching,' is becoming synonomous with Earth Week. But, what will the whole world be watching? People are going to be watching and learning about the ecological problems that face the world. They want to know what can be and is going to be done. More than that, however, the world is going to be watching the people running the affair. Many of these people are politicians, scientists and college professors - and many are young adults and students. The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow; the world will be watching to see how these people are handling and going to handle the present situation. The students are the ones who are going to take on the resopnsibility of this project and take a definite step to correct the situation. Students have been looked down upon for years because they were irresponsible, drug-taking, hippie-type people. Now, all students have the opportunity before them to prove to the watching world that they are qualified to be the leaders of the world - Earth Week starts with a parade on Sunday. NICE TRY!

During my sad excursion into local politics I was under t he tutelage of James Loftus, Chairman of the Wilkes-Barre City Republican Organization, who will vouch for my statement during the campaign that I would personally climb any tree and remove any poster of ours :which might be so thoughtlessly displayed. Furthermore, as I promised, I personally picked from the sidewalks and gutters of Wilkes 0 Barre 314 handouts with which the interested voters had littered the environment. I a lso personally removed any Republican placard which was in a position to be an eyesore. My defeat was in large part due to the reaction on the part of the electorate whose sensibilities had been bruised by the artless. display of campaign advertising placed by enthusiastic supporters but which I was unable to retrieve. Since the campaign cost me onlly $556.62 out of my own pockets and but $996.37 from the pockets of my friends, I felt that the lesson was learned at a bargain price. However, my r espiratory tract has never recovered from the long hours spent in smoke filled rooms, and I doubt that I shall ever be able to heal the old bellows despite the sympathies of Wilkesian wellwishers.

Faculty and administration justify this position by pointing out that students do not have any workable program for solving these besetting issues. For students to claim the possession of the perfect plan for implementing the solution to any issue would be naive; but for faculty or administration to dismiss college students for lacking such solutions is even more naive. The questions agitating our society are of such a basic nature that it is patently ridiculous to urge stud ents to stop t he "nonsense." Indeed, it would be absurd for young people to ignore the condition of their society, since this is the socie ty that they will inherit in a few short years. An unconscious attitude may be operating in student - faculty , student - administration relationship. Paul Goodman, in Growing Up Absurd, alludes to the "youth" of America as a minority group, alternately loved and despised by their adult counterparts. This speculative claim gains credence when we examine societal attitudes toward past generations of college stustudents. In the 1950's, for instance, students were condemned for their quietude, their indifference . This criticism overlooks the pervasive effects ·of the McCarthy hearings and their violent attacks , especially on the academic community. With the onset of the 1960's, a new generation of students invaded, literally and figuratively, the halls of academia. Complaints of their turbulent dispositions, their strident voices, and their uncompromising demands may bear some truth, but there appears to be more truth in Goodman's claim that the younger generation is a target, albeit unconscious, of abuse by their otherwise devoted and concerned parents. One axiom of this theory is that young people are in a state of emotional and psychological apprenticeship. Not yet mature, they are not to be taken seriously. This charge is not si,yallowed easily by the student population. Sophisticated, articulate, and precocious, these people are very aware of their society. What especially galls the students who hear this argument is that its proponent is frequently guilty of a dismal inability to grasp the realities that surround the students in their world. The growing polarization between students and faculty and students and administration is especially distressing in light of the divisiveness nationwide . ·The growing frustrations of many students and the resultant sense -of futility about social change led to the emergence of extreme factions . The presence of fanatic groups such as the Weathermen may serve to negate th e validity of the student movement. Focusing upon the practic es of a few undergraduates as representative of the entire student body results in a counter-charge from the young that the older generation is responsible for racism at home and imperialism abroad . The result has been the formation of two camps , sullenly looking across barbed wire fences of anger and fear. If this relationship based on mutu<;1l suspicion continues, the very fabric of education - trust, freedom of inquiry, and dissent will eventually b e unravelled. Needless to say, a distrust of the student community is growing and is fed by the irresponsible actions of a few . Every social movement draws a "lunatic fring e, " a group of extremists who exploit th e situa- tion to s erv e th eir own purp oses. In addition, th e inflammatory rh etoric of demagogues , th e se ns eless claim that all s tudent demand s ar e "non-negotiable ," and the do gmati c indictment that every coll ege professor is a "cop" and every studen t a "prisoner"- these techniques and charges serve to divid e th e college community even furth er. If the student and th e co llege are are to close ranks and to work together, th e myths and ster eotyp es must be dismissed. In addition, a re definition of th e status of th e student - and his rights, responsibilities . and duties - should be dev eloped.

This man, given the n ame John, told his daughter Kizzy all abo ut his life and so impressive was the story that she pass ed on the story of h er father chopping wood by the river Kambi Bolongo ~o her children and they on to theirs. And so it continued from the mou ths of th e older to the ears of the yo ung er until it reached Mr. Haley. It was the greatest possession of the family, for it was un usual for any slave to trace his h eritage du e to the amount ·of selling and buying. As a child, Mr. Haley did not realize the importance of such a tale and until his adult life considered it no more than folklore. During a stretch in the U.S. Coas t Guard in WW II, he accidentally started on the road to becoming a writer. His begi nning was of writing love letters for his buddies on his ship . From that he started to write for True Confessions , Harpers, Atlanti c Monthly and Reader's Digest. Haley's relationship to Malcolm X stemmed from a story he was asked to write about the Black Muslims, after which he became -a regular feature writer for Playboy Magaz ine . Publishers began to ask for a story about Malcolm and such was the occasion for his extensive research with the famous black man and the consequent; The Autobiography of Malcolm X. The following assassination of Malcolm X came with great sorrow to H aley and the events of the next few months came as what he describes as a "succession of miracles." While writing for Malcolm, he had been in Washington, D.C., following the vague idea that perhaps t he story of the slave and the river Kambi-Bolongo could be tru e. His r esearch was extensive and n early discouraging until he Alex Haley The author's story was nearly over by this time . He finished his talk by relating the final minute details needed for the book he would write- about this story - ·the ·saga· of the black man. He felt that now he could "tell it like it was" and that perhaps the reader of his book and the listener of his story could add their own moral. His moral, he explained was the importance of black people and their history of dignity and work, the dignity and work they had before they were taken from their homes and families. Mr. Haley's final hope is that by reading his book we too will realize that "B lack is beau tiful!" 0 NOTICE At the meeting of the Board of Trustees held on Friday, March 20, th e board gave hearty approval to th e agreement reached b y th e Inter-Dormitory Council, the Student Government, an d th e Administration r egarding visitation in the men 's do rmitories.

Two meal plans were disclosed for student consideration. Plan I called for an increase of $10 to the present room and board fee of $575. The plan calls for a sevenday meal plan, exactly the same as we have this year. Plan II provided for a choice between a fiive and seven-day plan. The five -day was $560 a semester for three meals a day, and the seven-day plan was $595 a semester, also for three meals a day. Plan I has been accepted by the students. Regardless of the plan chosen, it was note d that there will be an increase in room and board for next year because of the rising food costs and a slight increase for labor and overhea-d. It was added that a two -m eal-a-day plan would not be any cheaper.

At Milliken University in Decatur, Illinois, "students will be treated to the sound of the Millikin Jazz Lab Band." A noted conductor, composer, and arranger, Allyn Ferguson, with the aid of soloist Bob Perkins of Los Angeles, will supervise the presentation by the band of his latest work, "Suite for Tenor Sax and Jazz Band."

At Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., proposals are being considered which hope to change or modify the current grading system. "Th e highest incidence of proposals concerns pass-fail." There are variations in the different proposals. Some advocate a three -step system which would award the exemplary student with "honors," the average with "pass," and the deficient with "fail." Other proposals suggest saving the actual letter grades to be available at the student's request. Other less widely advanced proposals which call for adding a plus or minus to the letter grade or the implementation of a 12-point system hope to provide a more accurate range of marks. To be sure, any of the proposed changes would have a drastic effect, but, hopefully, Dickinson will have time to adjust to the initial inconvenience and be able to reap the rewards of a more accurate grading. It has been said that grading is a necessary evil; if it is, Dickinson may have found a way around it. (Continued from Page 1) watching."

However, in the parade it wants no internal combustion engines as these only add to pollution.

Next will be speeches on industry's role in pollution . The third part of the forum will be on a way out of the problem of pollution. Sp eeches on this will include a means of correction and the projected legislation that is being sought. To end the forum, there will be an open floor where questions may be asked. The general reaction to the speeches probably will be manifested. Of course, the Clean Environment Committee needs money with which to work, and it indicated from where its initial backing came. The Student Government appropriated $300 for it from the Activities Fee Fund, and the Council of Deans appropriated $200 for the committee from the general budget obtained from students' tuition; this general budget creates the money for the present Concert & Lecture Series Fund. Since the backing of the Clean Environment Committee has come from the student body of Wilkes College, we all have a part in this campaign. However, as Jack Blannet put it, "This is sponsored by Wilkes College, but not for Wilkes College." Pollution is an individualistic problem; we should ask what we can do as individuals. Representa tives from 300 col· leges and universities are currenlly taking part in the 24th Annua Eastern College Science Confer· ence which is being held on the Wilkes College campus. Delegates are presenting scien· tific papers in the areas of biolog) chemistry, physics, mathematics and social science. Highlighting the event is the lee• ture session of Dr. Gerhard Dessauer, a noted nuclear physicist who opened the conference at the Irem Temple. Tomorrow evening, Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger, the associate director for science of NASA's Marshal Space Flight Center, will speak at a banquet. Yesterday, the Wilkes College Concert Band provided a break in the routine scheduling with musi· cal entertainment for the guests. Undergraduate scientific research papers will be presented tomorro11 night at the banquet. Local industrial leaders hm tours for the delegates. In addition the ESCS Exposition is providin an opportunity for those in attendance to see the latest in scientific wares and services.

(Continued on Page 8) This Weekend Wilkes' Hosts Hampton Inst. This weekend approximately 12 undergraduate students from Hampton Institute, Virginia, are here to take part in the 15th annual WilkesHampton Exchange. The students are participating in activities which include a visit to Stegmaier Brewery, a party at the Brothers Four, an outing at Dr. Farley's farm, a dinner at King's Inn, and optional attendance of Friday's classes. Many Activities Slated For Spring Weekend • The students are the guests of the Wilkes students participating in the exchange. These Wilkes students are acting as hosts and hostesses for the weekend. The second half of the exchange will take place May 7-10, when the Wilkes students travel to Hampton. These students are : Ellen Stamer, Gina White, Linda 'Schnesney, Wilhelmina Quinn, Barbara Roman, Aphrodite Xeromeritou, Ruth Beros, Lucretia Geiger, Barbara Williams, Marlene Augustine, George Conway, Tom 'Demovic, and George Knezek. Bea[OD TD Publish succeed Dr. Farley Dr. Fra n cis J. Mich elini, dean of academ'ic affairs, was named ~o succeed Dr. Eugene S. Farley as second president of Wilkes last Friday following a special meeting of the board of truste es. Attorney Lo uis Shaffer, chairman of the board, made the announcement and disclosed that the board has invited Dr. Farley to consider remaining at Wilkes a:s chancellor. The announcement ended a search for a new president which began after Dr. Farley announced his Jiorthcoming retirement in February, 1969. Since then, the Presidential Search ·committee has considered 63 candidates, finally narrowing them down to five candidates who were in terviewed on Campus, or visited by members of the Committee . Despite numerous conjectures, "those in the know" on the academic scene did not express surprise at the choice. Michelini, or "Dr. Mike" as he is known to both students and faculty, was said to have had the popular support on ·campus for •t he position. 'Michelini, 44, was born in Clifton, N.J., the son of Mr. and Mrs. August Michelini. He was graduated from 'Seton Hall University with a •B achelor of Science degree in chemistry. He earned his MA degree in biological science at the University of Delaware in 1950, and his PhD in 1955 from the University of Pennsylvania. 'I n the same year he joined th e Wilkes faculty as an assistant professor in biology. Dr. Michelini was granted a leave of absence in 1962 for one year, to serve the National 'Science Foundation, Washington, D.C., as associate program director of the Institu te Section. Upon his return to Wilkes he was named dean ·of academic affairs. He has continued to teach at least one biology class, despite his pressing administrative duties, and has published papers extensively in developmental biology. A veteran of World War II, Michelini earned the Combat Service Star during the Rhine 'Campaign in the European Theater. He served with the U.S. Army Air Force from 1944-1946. Since joining the Wilkes faculty, the newly-elected president has worked closely with Dr. Farley, who came to the college in 1936 when its facilities were one rented ,building and little more than 100 students. 'Dr. Mike will assume leadership of a school that now boasts almost 2,500 students with an equal number of part-time •and evening students, bringing the overall enrollment to almost 5,000. There are now 54 buildings comprising the campus, the newest dedicated only two weeks ago. A "forward thrust" campaign is now underway to raise funds to build a $3-million educational building. With an operating budget of more than $5-million, Wilkes' tangible assets are more than $20 million. Capital improvement amounted to almost $7-million from 1963-69. Approximately 7,000 Wilkes alumni are ·s pre·ad from coast to coast and in some foreign countries. This then is the picture as 'Dr. Michelini assumes his position as of July 1. Michelini says, "Students are more aware and more sensitive to broader social problems today than we were when we went t·o college. As a matter of fact, students of today are much more involved than they were five years ago." He goes on to say, "We h'a ve some great material at Wilkes. The students want to be part of the educational system and I certainly am in favor of that." 'Dr. Michelini is also active in community •affairs. He has been chairman •of the Wilkes-Barre Model ICities Policy Board, director of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, 'F amily ·service Association, Welfare Planning Council, having served as president of the last two organizations; Wyoming Valley United Fund, Greater Delaware Valley Regional Medical Program, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association. He served on the Governor's 'Committee on Vocational Rehabilitation, and was a member of the Charter Study Commis·sion of WilkesBarre. He is listed in Who 's Who in America and is a member of American Men of Science and the Society of Sigma Xi; also the Kiwanis Club Wilkes-Barre, Westmoreland Club, and Torch Club. Dr. Michelini is married to the former Anne Marie Sterner of Lansford. With their three daughters, Michelle, Lisa, and Lucia, the Michelinis reside at 148 Dana St., Wilkes-Barre. During '70 Summer ' The Canned Heat This year Wilkes College has slated its Spring Weekend for May 1 and 2. The Cinderella Ball will begin the big weekend on Friday at 8:30 p.m. The Treadway Motor Inn will acommodate the affair and guests are reminded that formal ·attire is re quired. Men may rent tuxedos for a reduced rate with I.D. cards for $10 at John B. Stetz's on East Market St., off Pu'b lic Square. Music for dancing will be provid!"d by Gene Dempsey and orchestra. There will be ·open-bar and hors-d'oeuvres will b e served along with a sit-down dinner of prime ribs of beef. To highlight the evening, the queen and the first runn er-up will be named at midnight. Tickets will be collected at the door and may be purchased at the Bookstore at $10 per couple. 'Departing from the ordinary, beach towels will be handed out as favors for the Weekend. Saturday, May 2, Spring Weekend will draw to a close with a concert in the Kingston Armory. Beginning at 8:30 p.m., Wilkes (Continued on Page 8) The Beacon would like to announce the forthcoming publication of the new summer Beacon. The paper will come out every two weeks and will be a four-page issue. Subscriptions will be available at $1.00. ' 'T he editorial staff of The Beacon feels the summer communication gap between students, faculty, and Administration could be remedied with publication . The college also provides many summer activities such as : theatre workshop, SG meetings, classes, and building proj e cts that individuals should be aware of.

M icheli n i and w if e. �Page2 THE BEACON Editorials C.hanei..\\oe_ fAt.lt~ Cl-,ao-c.cl· \01t._ f•tt.-1,i THE TORC:H IS PJlSSED It almost seemed like a scene out of a Hollywood film - the so-called "darkhorse" young, sentimental favorite beating the odds and receiving the glory. But as Dr. Francis J. Michelini's selection was announced by the chairman of the board of trustees last Friday, we all discovered that the "good guys" sometimes ·win, and no more deservedly so than the new president-elect of Wilkes College. Out of 63 candidates originally suggested by the Presidential Selection Committee, the choices were narrowed down to 21 and then five. "Dr. Mike" rose above them all - and the Committee who approved the suggestion unanimously, and the Board who did the same, could savor the spontaneous and sincere response. Our reaction is one of enthusiasm for a good choice and of high hopes that Dr. Michelini will tackle the enormous job at This week, dorm and day students showed their interest in the community and the world population by observing Earth Week. They channelled their efforts into educating the people so the world would be saved. Blood Day can be seen in the same perspective. Every individual has the opportunity to give a little of himself for the community, friends, and relatives. If the world as a whole is worth saving so are individuals! There seems to be a lack of logical forethought in the Activities Fee that was recently passed by the Administrative Council for the 1970-71 academic year. The Administration has pledged to give SG $26,000; in the meantime, students will be paying a $20 activities fee. The total will be $76,000. There appear to be discrepancies in the logic of this funding, however. First of all, last year the students paid a $10 activity fee, and the college contributed $13.60 from the general College fund, College income, for each student. Next year, the students will pay a $20 activity fee, yet, a $25 activity fee was passed by the students, and the College will contribute approximately $10 per student from the Col lege income and our tuition has gone up $100 per semester. Granted, there have been increases in certain categories such as Homecoming seen« Eugen he hand with understanding and strength. We are certain that Dr. Michelini understands the heartbeat of this Campus and that he will follow the ideals upon which it was built. At the same time we hope he will not imitate what has been, but rather create. This is the period of our greatest growth - physically (with the plans for new and bigger buildings), academically (with programs in new fields and enlargement of existing fields being planned), and in the intangible areas of communication and understanding. We believe that Dr. Mike will capably handle the physical and academic areas of the College. We hope that he will make further progress in the area of studentadministration cooperation. The torch has been passed - and in this dynamic young man , we find our hope for the future! RESPONSIBILITIES Within the next few weeks, students will again be able to assume new responsibilities. The first being Blood Day and the second is Representation on Faculty Committees. Chfw:e,\\o., f,•k'j cnp.ric,,\\01::C?) rAR,~'i ! Last fall when students were urged to apply for Faculty Committees only two per cent of the student body had enough initiative to follow through. When we had the controversy over dormitory visitation, the fact that students were on faculty committees was to our advantage. Students want to be heard, they have good ideas that should be heard, yet why do they sit back? It goes along the principle that many of you are here because Wilkes College can offer what you want, and at the same time you want things improved. If you care, want to see change, are not satisfied, then gather up some of the initiative that got you here in the first place and apply for a Faculty Committee. and Spring Weekends, but at the same time, worthwhile funding has been cut back. Clubs and classes are prime examples. Clubs will receive between $2,000 and $1,000 (previously $4,000) and classes will receive $1,000 (previously $1,500). These organizations have projects that are beneficial to both the College and the community. SG will also be expected to support all student publications out of the $76,000. The College has placed the entire re sponsi bi Iity of student funds with SG, yet areas have been cut back - and SG will look inadequate. It appears that the social life of a growing College is going to be hampered, likewise, all the efforts that have gone into expanded lectures, concerts, films, and community projects are going to be affected . Guest Editorial: BUT WHY? On Monday, April 13, the same number in a series of s cessful Apollo space flights suddenly developed trouble. As · previous space flights, three men were able to momentari unite three billion people who were 250,000 miles away. No one could ever disavow the credit that these courag men deserve. It is hard to actually put into words the feeling a one had for them. All of a sudden, their lives were the focal poirC of world attention and concern. Thirteen countries offered make their ships available for the recovery. At least six nati said they would allow U.S. planes to fly over their territoryduri recovery operations. More than 70 responded to a U.S. request not to broadcast on the radio frequencies used by the recover, forces. In all of the splendor and glory of space flights, whether the, may be during good or troubled times, the world community bt comes one. All political barriers and national borders disappear and we are truly friends indeed. BUT WHY? Why did the Soviet Union offer so much assistance to us? Why did three nations, in the midst of political differences with the U.S., suddenly tum to us with help? Of even greater importance, why did three en, dangered lives create so much universal concern and attention? Why can't the same universal concern and attention be turned towards the hundreds of Americans and Vietnamese who die every week in Southeast Asia? Why not towards the Sino-Soviet conflict involving hundreds of millions of people? How about the Middle East conflict? How about the number of bodies recently seen floating down Cambodian rivers? How about the starving people in India and Latin America; the population problem and the pollution problem? Why does the world community sit back, and by not doing anything, justify death and outright misery in the above cases? It only took three men, who are not just Americans, but "Earth· lings," to prove it can be done! Three billion people have proven to themselves that there exists a world community capable of uniting towards a common goal: the safe return of the Apollo XIII astronauts. Why not direct this once-impossible dream towards the perfection of a world community- a community called "Earth." ... - Ronnie Lustig THE BEACON Editors-in-Chief. ..... .

There is no doubt that the last few years have changed the objective relationship of students to th eir college, and have altered their inn er feelings about the exp erie nce of education. They are requestin g, and even demanding, that they b e given a larger share of r esponsibility in the government of the institution which they attend. The complain t that education is "irrelevan t" means that education rs not se rvin g as an instrument by which a society can control its future . It is not giving students what they need to make their lives t he kind of lives they wish, and to make their society the kind of soci ety they want. I will define as axiom a tic certain perceptions I have of our students. They have rights as citizens of the larger society; rights th ey do not lose when they become members of a higher educational insti tutional. They h ave the righ t to live their own lives when off campus, subject onl y to the laws an d the risks of the larger society. I also see them demanding th e additional righ ts to make decisions invo lving personal morality and conscience.

NOTICE Viewpoint by Joseph Kanner Psychology Department . .. Pe te Herb, ! Greets '-Mike' With Sincere Ovation by Roy Hollabaugh We have recently been faced with certain increases in College costs for the 1970-71 school term. These incre as es a re an increas e of $200 in tuition, a $10 incr eas e in room and board fees , and the Administrative Council rec ently passed an increas e in th e Ac tivities Fee of $10 (making th e act ivities fee $20 instead of $10) . These increases may b e justifiable fro m the Administration's point of view, bu t as a student I feel these increases sho uld b e acco mp anied by mor e efficient rules an d regulations , a halfd ecent mea l plan, and more student voice in distributing the students ' mon ey. Wants Curfews Currently, a man is b eing emp loye d to escort women back to their dorms in 'th e event they are out past curfew.

The cost of this p lan I am sure is consid erable; th e man is employed s even days a w eek. Compare this cost to th e cost of procuring keys (at approximately 50¢ a ke y) for each woman old enough to break curfew. Alo ng with th e extraordinary cost, look at th e inefficiency and impracticali ty of th e idea .

Colleges and universities, not immune to the effects of this situation, have reflected it in increased tuition and board rates. Consequently, many college students have found it necessary to seek part-time employment in order to defray the cost of their living and education expenses. At Wilkes, 70% of the student body holds part-time, off-campus jobs. They foclude clerking in stores, waitressing in restaurants, working at gas stations and many other tasks. Some of the jobs constitute only Summer employment. Others continue during and throughout the school year. Certain students manage to pay their entire •tuition costs by using the money they have earned from nffcampus work. In addition, 400 Wilkes students participate in a work-study program which is jointly funded by the College and . the U.S. government. These students work in school offices, the library, on the maintenance staff, and within the dorms. They annually earn $110,000. Each department of the College sets aside $50-55 ,000 a year to pay students who do office and research work for the individuals within the department. Students who work for the school are limite d to 15 work hours per week. National studies seem to indicate that this is the maximum time a student can spend working and still not interfere with his school work. Working students seem to derive more than simply monetary benefits from their jobs. One girl who spent the summer as a nurse 's aid at a nursing home for aged people says, "It was wonderful to feel that I could help people and was needed . I think it made me develop a sense of responsibility, and it definitely taught me to be more patient than I ever thought I could be." . Another student spent the summer working in a confectionery factory . . "I inspected, packed and sealed up the products. And I hated the work; but it taught me the value of an education. I met people there who wanted to go to college, and couldn't. I realized how lucky I am that I won't be doing that kind of work for the rest of my life." One girl, who works for a department head to earn spending money, views her j-ob as a steppings·tone. "I type, run machines and do general office work. It's giving me the experience I'll need to get a good job this summer." Hughes and Stahler Premiere, Worth As Playwrights Proven tI In a bright step forward, the Wilkes Theater has begun to present a series of student-written and directed plays. The first two presentations have proven the merit of this undertaking. On a recent Saturday evening, Reflections, a one-act play by senior Eng~ish major Dale Hughes, was presented to the public. Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m. The One About the Rubber Hose by Elliot Stahler, a junior, premiered. Both were well-done in their own style. Reflections was a surrealistic view of life as Hughes sees it. His thoughts on such subjects as "ice cream love" [that which is frozen) made the evening worthwhile. The dream-like set, bathed in many colors, contributed to the unreal atmosphere of a guy and a girl trapped in a hall of mirrors. This viewer found objections in the casting. They did not build the tone in the horrifying way Hughes wrote it. The blocking (stage movemovement) was wooden and uninspired. We cannot find an excuse for this drawb_ack, as most of the cast was experienced on the CPA stage. The cast mcluded Bob Sampson, Brandy 1B ranigan, Jim Rader, Jerry McAfee, Sandy Yucas, Ted Moss. The second play was a complete departure from the first, and suffered mainly from a lack of publicity and a bad time slot. It is a sorry state~ent, but true, that _most students prefer to eat lunch Thursday ~ornmgs at 11. B~t those m attendance found Elliot Stahler's play amus11:ig most of the time, and downright funny many times. The plot was simple - an overanxious father worried about his 15-year-old daughter's upcoming date with a college student. Stahler managed to make it funny and ironic, and the cast s eemed to enjoy what it was doing. A word should be said for the two principles, Mike Gallagher and Bob Burkhardt - wonderful. They played off each •o ther well - the kind of give and t>ake that marks more-seasoned performers. The rest of the cast included Nancy Haldeman, Rita Singer, and Steve Gliboff. We are pleased to see recognition of students' talents in all areas of theater, and hope that more budding playwrights come forward. 103 Courses To Be Given This Summer This summer the Wilkes College summer school schedule will offer more than a hundred courses . There have been increases in almost every subject curriculum offered previous summers, including English, psychology, art, environmental sciences, and math. Also planned for this summer is a theater workshop. The group will consist of high ,s chool, college, and gradua te students. Plays will be studied and performed for the community and college. The first day session of summer school runs from June 8 to July 17 with registration June 2 through 5; second session, comprised mostly of 102 courses and some 101 courses, runs from July 21 to August 28, with registration from July 16 to July 20. Each of these sessions is six weeks. 'Summer evening school is an eight-week period running from June 15 to August 6 with two-hour classes h eld on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings.

LEWIS - DUNCAN Two Off Campus Bookstores ••. IDC MEETING: Topics on the agenda included: orphan fund, Hampton weekend, no curfews, dormitory visitation, cafeteria plan, and the in-group learning program. Concerning Hampton weekend, it was announced that this weekend the Hampton students will be visiting our campus, and that May 6 Wilkes students will travel to Hampton. Chuck Lengle, director of the program, announced that the following studenbs will be going to Hampton: Marlene Augustine, Ellen Stamer, Gina White, Linda Schenesney, Wilhelmina Quinn, Barbara Roman, Aphrodite Xeromeritou, Ruth Beras, Lucretia Geiger, Barbara Williams, George Conway, Tom Demovic, and George Knezek. It has been announced that the $904 in the Orphan Fund will be sent to UNICEF. Dormitory visitation is going well, and male resident students are reminded to turn in the sign-out sheets. Also, the guard who drives the girls back to the dorms is located in the office at the New Men's Dorm. It was disclosed that an intercom system may be installed to aid in 1-ocating th e guard. Girls are reminded that they must come back with the guard and not be let into the dormitory by its members. The In-Group Learning program was discussed and IDC members learned that 20 percent of the faculty and 25 percent of the students showed an interest in the plan. InGroup Learning will begin in the fall on a seminar program format including all the dorms. Students are also reminded to preregister for their fall courses. A fee of $50 will be charged for each credit and a $75 dormitory fee will prevail for each semester with LARGE SELECTION OF LOVE BEADS a $5 laundry fee. Diamonds, Watches Gifts, Jewelry HEADQUARTERS FOR COLLEGE CLOTHING • According to Richard Ra-s pen, Financial Aid Director at the College, no student who needs a job should be afraid to look for ·one. " We can always work something out. The stores in town are often looking for people, as are the offices here at the College. As a matter of faot, if two people who could type were to walk into my office right now, I could place them by tomorrow.

On Other Campuses by George Pagliaro vant education - relevant to him, not just to his contented white counterpart. The black man knows he is a whole person with a proud heritage; it's about time the white man realizes it. Maybe at MSC ... On March 17, a meeting of Shippensburg State College's Student Senate heard a motion that the Student Association be abolished. On Tuesday, March 31, the issue was defeated. Although an unsuccessful attempt [some might even say foolhardy), the reasons for it are worthy of note. Its authors claimed that the SA had become powerless and virtually ineffective. The contention seemed to indicate that the ass·ociation went very nearly unnoticed and any suggestions it made which did not agree wholly with administrative stands went unnoticed. One student senator, speaking against the motion, said that if the motion passed, an organized channel of communication between the administration and the students would be lost. Well, the motion failed, but it seems a shame th at it was ever necessary. Hopefully, the occurrence •of such a motion need only happen once before the administration realizes that maybe there is a "lack of communication." Changes on other campuses are occurring on all fronts, academic, social, and campus life. Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, has made a dream come true for many of its students by dropping its traditional language requirement and ruling that "learning the language of the computer is as relevant as learning French, German, or Spanish." The requirement has been replaced by a new "symbolic systems" requirement which allows students to substitute computer programming, symbolic logic or philosophy of language courses for those in a second natural language. To be sure, many students who simply cannot grasp a language can breathe a sigh of relief on the campus of OU. As a result of a recent study at Millersville State College, an effort is being made to determine what the black student's status is on MSC's campus and, in many cases, to improve it. Black enrollment at MSC is well below federal stan dards but "the one-year appointment of Mr. Allen (a recent black graduate of MSC) and the visits of various black students to secondary schools for recruitment purposes have boosted the likelihood that the enrollment of black students will The following girls have been increase to 100 or more for the selected as cheerleaders for next fall." year: 'M arie Halloway, A n n PotonAn additional outgrowth of the ski, Jackie Falk, Pat Baranoski, study is that during the 1970-71 Lynn Way, Sally Fear, Anita Chowsummer sessions and the 1970-71 der, Joan Levandowski, Karen Metzcollege year a 15-month develop- ger, Randy Wells, Barbara Zembrament program will be co n ducted for zuski, and Ruth Kret. the education and counselin g ·of high-risk students.

Th e new look of the Gallery, which has been redone by the students, makes a fine showc-ase for this well-done and well-presented show. The nature ·of the work is varied, yet the quality remains on the same high level. Some of my favorite works were the assemblages done by Cray. These works combined the areas of design, craftsmanship, and presentation as well as the mixing of media. In these the artist seems to expand her vision and exP.lore. However, her acrylics are also very free and have a great deal of vitaity. Zarychta's work is very well done and her photography, though not numerous, displays another aspect of her talent. The addition of photography this year in the few exhibits, which have displayed it, has added greatly to the overall interest of the shows. To go over each medium in the show would be ridiculous; each is handled professionally and developed well. I often wonder how much th e Wilkes College student misses by not attending these shows, in a city with no museums and one of the local galleries closing. It is only stupidity that keeps a student from using the facilities that the College has to offer. I hope the ·a ttendance is not directly proporUonal 'to our ignorance. Wilkes Receives Construction Aid To Raise Complex A federal construction grant in the amount of $241,188 has been approved for Wilkes College. The grant was announced recently by the Commission on Higher Eduction Facilities in Harrisburg. Wilkes was among 13 colleges in Pennsylvania that qualified for grants totaling $4,215,386, the commission reported. Funds earmarked for Wilkes will be used toward construction of a new education complex on the site of Conyngham Hall, which was destroyed by fire in December, 1968. A campaign is underway to raise a total of $300,000 for the construction. The complex will contain classrooms, laboratories, and oth er educational facilities. a □□□□□□□□□□ □□ □o □o □o o □□□□□□ oooa □□□□□□ uu1x, □ DLlL'□□□ c □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□o□□o □□□□ o □□□ □ □□□o □□□ o□□o □ o□□□ □o □o Thomas John Moran, a 1949 graduate of Wilkes, was recently elected president of the W ilkes College Alumni Association. Moran was elected by alumni members from chapters throughout the country, according to Arthur J. Hoover, director of Alumni Relations. Moran received his BS degree in English and education from Wilkes; his master of science degree in journalism from Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, and continued graduate study in public relations at New York University. He now serves as managing editor of the Sunday Independent, following service with that newspaper as sports editor and assistant managing editor. His 20 years' experience in newspaper and related fields include his association with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as rewrite man and feature writer; and as telegraph news editor of the Times Leader Evening New s in Wilkes-Barre. In addition, Moran has been active in the field of education for many years. In 1949-50, he was public relations director at Wilkes College and served also as alumni secretary. In 1951-53 he was a full-time member of the Department of Journalism at Duquesne University. Upon his return to this area, he taught eight years in the evening School Division at Wilkes, where he now teaches journalism and English. Mr. Moran currently serves as advisor to the Wilkes Beacon. He also taught journalism at King's College. Five and one-half years' active duty in ·the Army Air Corps and Army earned him an honorab le discharge in 1965 as captain in the Army Military Police Corps after 16 years in reserve. In March, the newsman was nominated by Governor Shafer to the select State Planning Commission, and the nomination was approved by the Legislature.

The loss broke Upsala's 18-garne winning streak as both teams stand at 5-1 in the MAC. At what was supposed lo ban been the beginning of this season', golf campaign, new coach Roland C. Schmidt was looking forward t~ ard a big rebuilding effort. Now however, he and his linksmen ba,e yet to play their first match, and tt is already 21 days beyond the afternoon when they were supposed to have played their first match. Earlier in the week the Colonels lost to Eas t Stroudsburg, 5-1. The Wilkesrnen 1ed 1-0 after seven innings but costly errors and a fourrun burst in the late innings gave Stroud the win. Eventually, when the Colonel golfers do take their first official swings off the first tee, Schmidr1 shotrnakers will mos t likely be led by junior accounting major Wall Anushko. Anushko is one of the longest hitters off the tee in the MAC, and Ms presence is always felt on the golf course. Pitcher Joe Zakowski and outfielder Carl Cook paced the club against Upsala in pursuit of first place. Zak went the route for his third win of the se·a son and 15th straight. Cook raised htis batting average to .522 with a three-forfour performance at the plate. The Colonels went ahead early in the game by a first-inning triple by catcher Dave Kaschak which scored Torn Higgins. Upsala tied it in its half of the third inning on ,a triple by John Scarpelli and a squeeze bunt. The Wilkesrnen took the lead once more in the fifth inning as Torn Higgins knocked in Zakowski. But the lead was short-lived as Upsala came right back with two runs in the top of the sixth. Zak was rocked for three hits and two runs that inning but managed to get the side out the rest of the way until the Colonel batsmen could scure some more runs. Colonels Go Ahead Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth, the Wilkesrnen captured the lead for good. First baseman Charles Fick led off the inning and flied out, but Cook and shortstop Don Lewis followed with back-toback singles, with Cook advancing to third. Lewis represented the goahead run at first as Mike Bergbauer flied out for the second out of the inning. Zakowski then singled for his only hit of the afternoon, •scoring Cook and tying the game at 3-3. With runners on first and third and two outs, centerfielder Ted Yeager beat out an infield hit which scored Lewis to put the score at 4-3. Al Zeiner then followed with a triple, knocking in two insurance runs for Wilkes. It was Zelner's first collegiate hit. The.

The Colonels have lost their last two games, the most recent being a 9-7 loss to Stevens Tech last Saturday. K-town seems to be good medicine for Wilkes as Coach Jon Hobrock's charges have won all three meetings with them. Last Saturday, 16 penalties and a stubborn Stevens defense did the Colonels in. The 16 penalties mean 16 minutes Wilkes was a man down, or a little more than a quarter and Stevens worked this to their advantage as they continually scored the quick goals . With Charles Bretana and Eric Hjembo leading the attack, Stevens jumped out to a 2-0 lead as the first quarter ended. Colonel attackman Dave Bogusko put the Wilkesmen back in the game by scoring on a fee d by Odey Raviv. In the,-econd period, Bogusko scored again with 6:41 remaining in the first half but not be fore Stevens added two more goals to give them a 4-2 advantage at halftime . At halftime, coach Habrock advised the team to play a more pressuring d e fense and to shoot more and lower when on attack. The second half began with the Colonels de termined to win their first home game of the season. After 23 seconds, Raviv brought them with one by scoring from 10 feet out after the Steve ns goalie had been decked. Stevens continued their offensive, as the y would throughout the game, by a dding two more goals after 10 mlnutes of play. The biggest lead Stev ens had was two goals but eve ry time the Wilkesmen threatened, Stevens scored to stay on top . With fiv e mintues to go in the th ird quarter th e Colonels mounted a scoring at tack to tie the score at 6-6 b y s coring three goals in one minute . First Mike Kennedy conve rted a los e ball into a goal from 20 feet ou t at 10:29. Eighteen seconds la te r Bogusko had his third goa l of the af te rnoon and the Colonels w e re now down by just one. Colonel middi e Mike Palk,o took ca re of that b y scooping the ball at the far side of the field , racing across and riflin g a shot from 25 fee t w hich sent the Colonels into a tie at 11 :11 gone. But Stevens refused to panic as Steve Do yle score d to put them on top 7-6 at the end of the third quarter.

Upsala Wilkes The Wilkesmen, down by one, had a whole quarter remaining to go ahead, but penalties constantly left them a man down and broke up their offensive patterns. In the meantime, Bill Douglas scored for K-town at 2 :15 to give Stevens a two-goal margin. For the next eight minutes both teams played tight defenses with Stevens controlling the ball most ,of the time. But with 10:40 gone, Raviv scored off a feed from Bogusko to put the Colonels right back in the game. Fifteen seconds later Stevens scored their final goal of the game to put the score at 9-7. With four minutes remaining in the game, the Colonels tried desperately to get possession to score but Stevens' experence and accurate passing prevented the Wilkesmen from any mor e scoring. The final score read 9-7, Stevens, but the measure of the game, in Wilkes' point of view, was read in the penalty box as was the case against Muhlenburg last week. Tomorrow, however, the Colonels will be out to break their two-game losing streak. Kutztown couldn't be a better school to do it against.

Coach Habrock commented, "We are not the same team as we were in our first game . We 're passing and shooting better and playing more like a team." Bogusko paces the team in scoring with six points: 5 goals and 1 assist, followed by Kennedy and Raviv, each with four points. Ken nedy has three goals , one assist, while Raviv has two each.

Th ey take on K utz t ow n tomorrow at 2 p.m. NOTICE by Pete Herbst, Sports Editor It seems as if the Middle Atlantic Conference is getting sensible about a ru le wh ich doesn't make too much sense in the first place. Remember the big stir earlier this year about the soccer team using freshmen and thus forfeiting all its conference games? Based on a preliminary vote, there is the strong possibility that the rule which prohibits a school from playing freshmen ·o n a varsity level because of 1 ,100 male enrollment in the school will be rescinded. This move would be of great advantage to schools like Wilkes and especially to minor sports. Not only that, the move will provide some consistency in the three athletics conferences Wilkes is a member of - the MAC, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) and the Nationa l Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA plus Walter Byers) . Currently the ECAC allows schools with a male enrollment of less than 1,200 to play freshmen wh ile in the NCAA the minimum enrollment is 1,400. And that only applies to football and basketball. \ Going down the list of sports played here \-\ ·. at Wilkes, it is apparent the MAC ruling "'-- .: now on the books served no purpose except "'· ' ,;: · \ to mess up many plans and opportunities for coach es and fr es hm an athle tes alike. The soccer team, of course, forfeited all conference gam es to give the frosh some experience. Had it won all its confe rence match es it would have had to forfeit the championship also. 'Roland Schmidt's Gold Machine t•ook the ruling in stride but it didn't really expect it. Coach Schmidt commented, "We really w e ren ' t ready for it. When prospective freshmen visit the school w e te ll th em one of the advantages of attending a small school lik e Wilkes is that they'll be able to play right away. But I think some of the minor spo r ts were hurt worse than we were ." The freshman gridders did play two games though and acquired th e nickname "YeHow Jackets." The basketball and wrestling teams were not hurt that much since freshmen rarely break into the starting line-ups, although it isn't uncommon. The hoopsters have had a special jayvee program to specifically develop freshman talent. Considering the fact that Herb Kemp has played since his freshman year, the rule might have hindered the Raine ymen 's success. The same basically holds true for John Reese's wrestling teams. They too have a jayvee program, primarily for freshmen althou gh not exclusively. But then again, John Marfia and Andy Matviak wrestled all four years. Conceivably the rule might have hurt them . This year's ninth-place national ranking doesn' t quite support this though. Perhaps this spring's baseball and lacrosse teams ar e takin g th e worst of the ruling. Baseball coach Gene Domzalski pointed out, "The rule hinders the freshmen's deve lopment since we hav e no coach for the freshmen full time. It's a very unfortunate situation. " As a result, the frosh usually have a game among thems elves at practice while Domzalski and Jonah Goobic direct th eir att entions to the varsity. The freshmen do, however, have six games sch eduled, th e first two being a doubleheader with Scranton University on April 30. Lacrosse coach Jon Habrock loses 14 players next year du e to gra duation. Although 10 freshmen have turned out for the squa d , th eir experience is limited to intrasquad scrimmages during the w ee k in th e absence of a freshman program. So it seems in the better interest of athletics the MAC will res cind its ruling to conform to the other, more encompassing conferences . It is certainly a change for the better, if there is a change at all. l hope by the time this paper comes out, George Conwa y has recovered from his illness incurred two weeks ago. If not, I and th e Beacon staff would like to wish him a sincere " Get well soon." I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate newl y elected Wilkes' President Dr. Francis J. Michelini. I'm certain Dr. Mike will give the school the proper and necessary leadership in th e futur e. His appointment came as a surprise to me but I think it was th e only choice . Best of luck in the future , Mr. President! Best wishes , of cours e, to Dr. Farley, who made the school what it is today. □ 0 □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ 0 □ 0 □□□0 □□□ □ □ 0□□□□ 00 00 0□ 0 □0 7:45 Congratulations to the captains for next year's athletic teams.

Must Use Resources usually playing basketball. For the best part of two years (you get a break with volleyball at the Y) you play basketball. 'I was not much of a B-Ball player in high school and I still am not ; thus, these gym classes have taught me nothing, except maybe that I will never be a B-Ball player. My point is that I think the men hired to conduct these classes could be put to better use . Organized bowling classes, swimming classes, hand-ball classes, etc. would be much more beneficial to the student and the class instructors would be serving as more useful employees. Some students requests are necessary and de sirable; s•o me may be misconceived. But what is not misconceived is to want to have something to say about the conditions under which one's community lives. This is a tendency that ed ucators and educational institutions should wish to encourage. We have at Wilkes College impressive intellectual and moral resources. We must not deplete them by not using them. We must find ways to encourage their being used. This becomes my guide to a relationship with the students. I have an obligation to make contact with the students and to recognize their state of mind and feeling. To associate their ne e ds and feelings with learning. To associate learning with information and ideas. To associate learning with conscience. And to connect the campus with what lies beyond the campus. This obligation is not an abstract one. It can be made immediate and practical if both the students and I begin by agreeing to a fundamental principle. That the ideas we discuss must meet independent standards of logic and evidence, and not be influenced merely by personal interests, political maneuvers, or pressure. I know that academic people often fail to live up to such guidelines, but it is a commitment we dare not abandon. Let's try the combination of evidence, logic, an d intellectual honesty. In today's world, it could be a refreshing experience. walk to the Men's Dorm? It seems it would not take much thought to come up with a less expensive and more efficient means of regulating this new policy. Cafeteria Complaints The next topic is the meal plan we now have, and the meal plans we were offered. It is common knowledge (among dorm residents] that the meals start out satisfactorily on Sunday and get progressively worse until Friday and Saturday night you would rather not eat than come to see what is b eing offered. Much talking has been done, but the Administrati-on and the M. W. Catering Service have not been able to find a solution, exce pt to raise the room and board fee $10 and to offer us those ludicrous proposals - Plan I and Plan II. Perhaps if the Administration ate in the caf it would not 'be so hard to see the problem and find a solution. There must be a cheaper way. We live in a free, competitive market system; if M. W . Wood Catering Service cannot prepare eatable meals and still stay in business, maybe a competitor could. It seems they have us (the residential students] over a barrel, and as time goes on, with complaint after complaint, the food gets worse instead of better. If that situation were reversed, I would not mind paying t'he increase; unfortunately it is not, and I cannot see where M. W. Wood Catering Service is incurring any rising costs to n ecessitate th e recent increase. Gym Classes Also on this line is the maintenance of gym classes. Hygiene classes are a different story, there you learn something; but gym classes are the most fruitless encounter I have met. Men's classes are not instructed; you come to class and do what everyone else is doing, which is Dis tribution of Fee The last item is the amount of student voice in the distribution of the Activities Fee Fund and the Council of Deans Fund (general tuition which creates the present Concert & Lecture Series).

The Wilkes hosts, with approximately 15 Hampton students, set off Thursday night to prove that brotherhood and understanding do exist among young people. The activities, altered somewhat by the weather, began with an informal party that served not only as an introductory necessi:ty, but also as a refresher for the Virginia students after their 10-hour drive. A bit of knowledge was added Friday as the students toured the Stegmaier Brewery, and knowledge on the subject of dances was exchanged as the Hampton group took over the dance floor at a party at the Brother's Four. One of the high spots of the weekend was the Saturday picnic at Dr. Farley's Farm. Despite the muddy field, a wacky softball game took place, followed by an even muddier game of volleyball. But the sun was out and the kite expressed everyone's mood by gliding along, enjoying itself. (Continued on Page 8) Finances For Off- Campus Living Wilkes Alumni Topic Of Committee's Discussions Meet Tomorrow One of the ramifications of the recent change in College policy which permits eligible students to secure off-campus living accomFor Seminars The annual Wilkes College Alumni seminar has been scheduled for tomorrow, according 'to Sam Davenport, director of alumni affairs. Richard Myers, who was recently appointed terminal manager of Mar tz Trailways, Inc., will serve as chairman. The seminar, established in 1962, during th e last few years has attracted alumni from the eastern seaboard to renew college friendships and to pursue and discuss topics of national and college interest. Theme of the 1970 conference is "National Values and Goals" anq will be introduced as the keynote address by Tom Bigler. Registration at the Cerrter for the Performing Arts is timed for 8:30 a.m. with the opening sesion set for 9:30, after which discussion groups will assemble in Kirby Hall until noon. Related topics to the main theme include: "The American Economy," conducted by Welton Farrar, Wilkes faculty; Tom Kelly '69 and James Neveras '55; "Ethnic and Raical Unity," Ray O'Connor; "Higher Education," Mahmoud Fahmy, James Ferris '56, and George Siles '57; "Environmental Science," Alvan Bruch, Charles Reif, Ralph Rozelle '54, and Jack Blannett '70; "Urban Affairs," Walter Niehoff. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, retiring president of the college, will be principal speaker at the luncheon. He will be introduced by Thomas J. Moran '49, alumni president. Afternoon discussions will continue those of the morning sessions and will conclude at 4 p.m. with a wrap-up assembly in the Center for the Performing Arts with Richard Myers as chairman. A social hour has been planned for 5:30 p.m. at the American Legion Home, North River Street. Dinner follows at 6:30 p.m., chaired by the alumni president, T•o m Moran. modations was the topic of discussion last week - that of financial aid for those students who choose to live off-campus. The question was initially raised in a Dean's Council meeting on Monday, April 20, which then referred the problem to the Committee of Financial Aid. This committee is responsible for recommending to the Administrative Council changes in the financial aid policy of the College as circumstances and conditions may warrant. Richard Raspen On Thursday, April 23, the Financial Aid Committee, comprised of faculty, students , and members of the Administration, met to discuss the question and formulate recommendations •a nd observations to the Administrative Council. Discussion centered around the following points : 1. Students who choose to reside off-campus will do so at their own initiative, because adequate space is available in dormitories. 2. The College would be placed in an unwise financial position of providing money to these students while at the same time facing the burden of repayment of federal construction grants and maintenance costs. 3. In the past, the College has used only those expenses payable directly to the College in formulating financial •a id budgets. These fees include: tuition, fees, book allowance, and comprehensive room and board costs. 4. Commuting expens~s such as food allowance, housing, transportation costs, etc., are not · included in the budget of day students requesting financial aid. To include them in a budget for off-campus students would be unfair to day students. At 'the -same time, to include them for both categories of students would place an unbearable financial burden on the College. 5. There is no clear-cut policy followed by colleges in dealing with this kind of problem. It was found, however, that if a college does have adequate space, an off-campus student is not subsidized, and if the college does not have adequate facilities the student will be helped. Richard Raspen, Financial Aid Officer and member of both Student 'Life and the Financial Aid Committee, presented this problem to the Student Life Committee Friday, April 24. The Committee decided to hold a joint meeting between members of this committee and the Financial Aid Committee on Monday afternoon. At Monday's meeting considerable discussion arose concerning the plight of the s'tudent who is try(Continued on Page 3) Spring Weekend Begins Tonight Ball, Opera, Concerts, Set >f T h e R hinocer os Spring Weekend 1970 begins tonight with · the annual Cinderella Ball.

It seems that students wishing to secure off-campus living may risk financial aid previously provided. As pointed out in the financial aid article, considerable discussion arose last week for both the pro and con aspects of giving these students aid. Many things must be considered, such as fairness to both day and dorm students, the students who planned to save money by moving offcampus, and where extra money might have to come from . While considering the above factors, it is equally important to view the following factors: First of all, the premise under which the proposal was passed. Granted the students wanted it but at the same time the proposal was a means to alleviate some of the overcrowded housing conditions that prevail, as well as giving students the opportunity to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. One must not forget that 40 male students live in the YMCA or that four dormitories are going to be torn down next year to make room for the new building. Or, that the college maintains that this should be an environment that fosters responsi bilities. At the same time, one should remember one of the primary reasons for vetoing the proposed calendar change for next year. It was felt that a considerable number of students would be handicapped by lack of employment by ending the summer vacation before Labor Day weekend and virtually ·eliminating Christmas jobs . This same insight should be taken into consideration with students applying for off-campus living. Many of these people stand to save money by moving off-campus by reducing loans. The College could also save money by reducing funds they previously administered to these dormitory residents because their costs will be less. The Beacon stands behind the Student Life recommendation to investigate the possibilities of a third category of students - off-campus residents. Since the College maintains it advocates change, fair consideration, and student concern, this seems to be an apparent remedy for the problem. One policy has been changed - why not change another? ' A WEEKEND FOR FUN In case you haven't noticed - it's Spring. We've seen it evidenced in the co uples relaxing along the dike, the colorful kites prominent in the sky, the general lack of interest in classes and schoolwork, and in the grass that is suddenly "greener than green." Barring unscheduled rainstorms-this is Spring Weekend and Cherry Blossom Time. It is a weekend designed to quiet the common complaints of "there's nothing to do." This weekend there is plenty to do if you only go outside and look for it. There are dances and balls, Cinderella and Cherry Blossom Queens. There are rock concerts and polka concerts, and they are all free (at least to Wilkes students!). Open house is a way of life this weekend, the perfect time to visit the places you've never been to. There are exhibits for artists, music for musicians, plays for theater-goers, and outings for people who just want to have a good time. There's no excuse for being bored during these three days. You can meet most of Wilkes-Barre on the River Commons-and have your own love-in, be-in, sing-in, sleepin, eat-in or what-have-you. It's a time for fun and goodwill, a time to "do your own thing." Forget your final exams and the 10 term papers due next Monday long enough to enjoy, enjoy ... And one warning: lest the eco -activists become enraged-don't contribute to pol lution by throwing your straw skimmers on the grass or stripping the trees of their cherry blossoms! MESSAGE TO WILKES C:OLLEliE I would like to extend my thanks to The Beacon staff for their very kind words last week. As the Wilkes College newspaper, it is appropriate that I communicate through its pages my response to the many messages from students and faculty. It is extremely difficult to express my feelings to all who have been so generous in their congratulations and words of support. There have been many such messages, letters, calls, and telegrams, but none carry the significance of those from the faculty and students. Few, outside of higher edycation, can appreciate the relationships that exist in the academic community. We are working in an environment in which mutual trust, personal responsibility, and understanding of differences are key ingredients of our enterprise. It is an awareness of our common search for knowledge, questioning, ·seeking ways to resolve problems that bring us all together in a viable academic community. To begin my service as President with the support and understanding of the students and faculty is a tremendous asset. I am grateful to you all, and I will try my best to justify your confidence in me. Again, my sincere personal thanks to you all. I look forward to working with you to make Wilkes College ever better to serve. -Dr. Francis J. Mlchelini Stull will, as Letters to the Editors help in tutoring disadvantaged students.

The play involves the Antrobus family and its attempt to survive the environment and the hostile human race. Wilder uses hyperbole very effectively by employing iceage glaciers as the phenomenons of nature and besieging the Antrobus home with an assortment of panhandlers when the cold outside becomes too intense. Bob Hegyes headed the Antrobus household with Debbie Dunleavy as his wife, Elliot Stahler and Sandy Yue-as playing the two children, and Rita Singer as the maid who demonstrated her inability to live life by continuously interrupting the play at her whim. All the players performed well, especially Stahler whose transition from a -small boy to a war-worn son was excellent. Art Review The Gallery of Conyngham Annex is .host this week to a show presenting the fine talents of two artists - Richard Sebastian and Rustell Jorgensen. Mr. Jorgens en's work in the area of metal work and jewelry has to 'b e some of the best shown by a student at Wilkes in a long time. His control and craftsmanship is excellent - each piece of jewelry is really worthy of being displayed. The same quality holds for the ceramics of these artists the glazing techniques were finely done. The paintings by Mr. Sebastian show a very interesting style done with much experimentation and excellent choice of c-olor. The sculpture might go unnoticed but that is the viewer's misfortune. The media was not as w ell handled and did not really reach the same level of the uther works. The satire of "the Christ on the Cross" was a bit much but he was hung well. However, the show is truly fine and the artists exceptionally creative in direction, interpre tation, and fulfillment of their works. Now f.t ni e Lustig v1ary i<azchny. Some years ago, in one of America's more profound breaths, it became apparent that murder and genocide were not very nice, and therefore definitely un-American. When used to question the morality of the Vietnam war, these statements were · immediately reclassified as senseless emotional ravings which were totally inept at a time when we needed intelligent and rational thinking to help end a war we had been drawn into by circumstances beyond our control.

The air you are breathing is not clean, fresh air - it is a com• bination of iron' sulfide and a substance called " suspended particulates." The significance of this com• bination is that when they reach a combined percentage of pollution in the air they will cause health problems to children, seventh grade and younger, who breathe the air. Earth Day activities at the Kingston Armory brought this fact, plus many others, to th e public's attention. Pollution has been a problem of mankind since man became a farmer instead of a hunter.

Sophomore Ted Yeager broke the school record ·for most stolen bases in a season. Yeager stole three against Kutztown, which brought his total to 13. The Colonels had 12 hits against Harpur and seven stolen base,s but left 12 runners stranded on base. Carl Cook, Tom Higgins, Dave Kaschak, and Don Lewis paced the club with two hits apiece. With the Colonels leading 3-2 nn the eighth, Joe Zakowski came in to relieve John Baranowski. But a two-run homer in that inning gave th e game to Harpur and ended Zak's personal win streak at 15 games. The Colonels had another comefrom-behind win on their hands against Kutzt9wn as they were on th e short end of a 4-2 score going int o the top of the seventh. But the Wilkesmen erupted for five runs in the last three innings to gain the victory, their sixth of the year. Ted Sokolowski started the game for Wilkes but needed help from Baranowski in the eighth and ninth innings. Mike Bergbauer banged out three hits to pace the attack while Higgins, Yeager, and Kaschak each had two hits. But it was no ordinary game for either team. Tempers flared in the fourth inning as Wilkesman Charlie Wetzel was tagged out at first base rather physically and was knocked down. Things got heated in the next inning as Yeager, trying to beat out a gro und er, accidentally stepped on the K-Town first baseman's foot, who responded by throwing the ball at Ted. Both benches then cleared as a melee took place on the field. When order had been restored, both teams found themselves without umpires, who had left. Students from Kutztown assumed their roles as the game was completed. Yeager's 1.4 stolen bases per game average is one of the top marks in the country. After seven games Carl Cook was ranked sixth in the nation with a .522 batting average. The national leader is Bill Broach of R egis College with a .587 average.

It was the fourth straight time the Wilkesmen defeated Kutztown in two seasons. The Colonels have their work cut out for them tomorrow afternoon, however, as they oppose Franklin & Marshall for the first time in either school's history. F&M features a well coordinated and experienced squad. The fact that lacrosse is the main sport at Marshall plus · the game will be played on their home field will not make the job of coach Jon Hobrock's squad much easier. A well balanced scoring attack and a tremendously effective defense paved th e way for Wilkes' second win of the season. Dave Bogusko led the scoring with three Colonel midfielders Ken M i ller (27) and Mike Kennedy (32) work the "give-and-go" in recent action against Stevens. Colonels lost but came back goals .

At halftime, Habrock cautioned the team to keep the presure on and keep hitting. Neither he nor the team could forget the 4-0 lead they assumed at halftime in the first game against Kutztown which sud· denly became a 4-2 ballgame. But the Wilkesmen did not let history repeat itself as Raviv, Se· lecky, Bogusko, and Gregory all scored in the final period. K-Town did not succumb completely, how• ever, as they scored once in the third and fourth quarters. For the first time this year, penal• ties did not hinder the squad. It incurred 12, 19, 16 penalties in the first four games but kept it down to eighlt Saturday. The midlields of Kennedy, Miller, and Mike Palko and Rich Ferranti, Hank Walters, Pete Herbst, and Clyde Fitch did a fine job cont,aining the K-Town mid·f ielders, who scored three goals in the first encounter.

(Continued on Page 8) Art Hoover Recently Selected Director of Alumni Relations Resume ·Shows Results Accomplished By Groups This year has been marked by much change and controversy as well as an exemplification of what student groups and the Adminis·tration can do with a little initiative. Changes in school policy and student privileges began in May of 1969 immediately after the IDC and SG elections. For the first time, the circular lounge of the New Men's Dorm was open to female visitors. Art the same time, plans were started to move the bookstore to the basement of the Men's Dorm and plans were being se:t for Student Representation on Faculty Committees. During the summer the bookstore was relocated, women's curfew hours were changed, and dormitory rules were revised. Changes also occurred in the Freshman Reading Program - this year students were completely in charge. The program proved to be mos:t effective. After almost a year's work, Student Representation on Faculty Committees was approved by faculty and Administration and in early October the plan was implemented. The traditional hazing program also incurred revisions for this 1969-70 year with the enactment of more stringent rules and a complaint board. Even ·though problems came up, hazing will be part of the program next year. Also announced in September by the Administration was the visit of the Middle Atlantic States Accredita:tion Committee which would evaluate the school and the curriculum. The Committee completed their evaluations last month with three days of conferences with s'tudents, faculty, and Administra:tion. Predominant throughout the year were 'the service organizations of SG that took an ,a ctive interest in community and College projects. Project Reach-out took children from ne•a rby orphanages and homes on all-day outings, the tutorial program was once again installed, and the College began a Red Cross project organization to help in disasters. SG and IDC Outstanding The most outstanding work done by SG and !DC, however, was their writing proposals and passing them through the proper channels. The three most controversial were Dormitory Visi'ta:tion, No-Curfews, and Off-Campus living. February marked the culmination of almost a year's work, a year of negotiations, compromise, and communication. February 14 will always be remembered as the end of the three-day sit-in when One of the most familiar faces on the Wilkes Campus is that of Art Hoover, recently named Di- students united to le,arn reasons and be recognized. rector of Alumni Relations. Hoover has been active in one position or another since his graduation from Wilkes in 1955. He claims to be enthusiastic about his new job, which entails much more than a move from the second floor to the third floor of Weckesser. His primary goal is to involve the alumni in college projects and activities. "I'd like to see the alumni return to the Campus more than once a year at Homecoming," the new dfrector says. Hoover's background well qualifies him to deal with the College alumni. At graduation (cum laude), he was named Outstanding Graduate of his class, and during his senior year was named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. The following Sep'tember he joined the faculty in the Commerce and Finance Department. During the next few years he attended graduate school, receiving his Master's in Business Education from Penn State in 1959. He continued his graduate work at Bucknell, Lehigh and Penn State. At Penn State he was accepted as a candidate to work toward a doctorate in counselor eduoation, specializing in personnel services. . In 1962 Hoover joined the Administration, where his duties included serving as Director of Financial Aid, Resid ent Halls and Student Activities. From 1957 through 1964, he also served part-time as Director of Sports Publicity. These activities kept him busy until he was named Assistant Dean in charge of Student Affairs. This was the job that brought many students to the second floor of Weckesser. His duties were diverse, and the mock sign above the door saying "Dean of Complaints" was not really far-fetched. Born in Nanticoke and raised in Glen Lyon, Hoover has served as dorm proctor for 15 years. He spent 10 years as proctor at Butler House on River Street, and the previous four years in Roose - SG wasn't only concerned with these three proposals though. The group worked hard on the Dissent and Due Process statement to erase much of the misunderstanding the original document contained. They also attempted to have the final examination policy changed so that all students would not be required to take them. Through the 'efforts of SG and the Calendar Committee a revised calendar was formulated for next year. It was not accepted, however, because of the lateness of Labor Day weekend. Change had been attempted though. Decision Reached: No Financial Aid For Living Fees The NEW Committee, a committee composed mostly of freshmen that was started this year, also brought about changes for the students. They installed games and recreational equipment in the Commons and devised a plan for student supervision. Recently, they proposed an Unlimited Cuts Policy plan. It is going to be presented to the Administrative Council. At last Tuesday's Administrative (Continued on Page 8) Council meeting a decision was reached to classify dormitory students who will reside in off-campus living accommodations as commuter students. Borboro Sullivan Crowned Queen The problem first came up in late April at a Dean's Council meeting where it was then referred to the Financial Aid Committee. Arthur Hoover velt House of the New Men's Dorm. Hoover plans to discontinue his proctoring duties next semester because of the large amount of traveling that Will be necessary for his new job. He explained that he will attend meetings and social events in various citie~ where alumni chapters are located in order to meet the alumni personally. He views long-range plans in which alumni will take over the financial responsibility ' of the College and will participate in many of its projects on a personal basis . Hoover was recently chosen as a member for the Kiwanis Club of Wilkes ~Barre, and 'is a member of Iota Alpha Delta, a professional guidance fraternity ,• and Delta Phi Epsilon, a professional business education fraternity . .. The Financial Aid Committee met and drew up a formal recommendation for the Administrative Council. It was decided that the resident students moving off-campus should be clasified as commuter students because: they ~ ill move off-campus on their volition, in the past the college has used only those funds payable to the College as a basis for financial aid, commuting expenses for day students have never been included in financial aid, and the added expense incurred if these students received aid while at the same time giving •a id to students who moved 'i n their places in the dormitory.

A sense that acknowledges achievements and at the same time a sense that realizes mistakes and developes the courage of correction. No one ever said that a change was going to be good or fair. Of course this is the intent but it may not always be the outcome. No one ever said that what is learned in the past should be forgotten, yet many times it is. This is part of the reckonin·g that Wilkes College should face. Granted, there have been many changes, . revisions, and omissions in school policy this year. We have experienced new realms of communication, understanding, and trust. Now is the time to utilize our knowledge, . understand our changes and look ahead. The changes that were implemented for the 1969-70 year wii"I not necessarily satisfy the needs of the 1970-71 year. After all, 'there is nothing as permanent as change.' Perhaps this is what makes the brutal murders on the Kent State campus last Monday so totally unbelievable. None of the four lifted a rock - in fact, two were hurrying to class and the others were standing aside watching the action. Following the killings, the father of one of the coeds, Allison Krouse, made an emotional statement to the press expressing what many of us were thinking.

Wilkes College should be at a time of reckoning. We have accomplishments, yet also we have a future. We still need better communications , students still need to be acknowledged, the Administration still needs to be trusted, and everyone needs a chance. striking of colleges. After all , educating the leaders of tomorrow should be of prime importance right now. At the same time, efforts should not be made to hurt the college or show dissatisfaction with it, but rather to make an impression on our government. If people are SINCERELY interested in peace and freedom, then they should make peaceful, constructive efforts by uniting for a cause, by educating, and by putting the pressure on the right people. · · Peaceful demonstrations are fine, as long as they don't disrupt the education that our country needs. Peaceful demonstrations are fine as long as they don't bring about contempt and alienation. What is needed are debates, forums, teach-ins, and constructive groups to continue the questioning that is being started now. What is also needed is honesty and a facing of the real issues at hand. The war is no longer overseas, it is here, now. Why not give a damn and unite? IN MEMORIAM None of them was a radical. One was an Eagle Scout and one was a future speech therapist.

His question lies carved in our minds, along with the image of his grieving face and shaken voice. We wonder what those four sets of parents feel - knowing their innocent children died because of a "mistake." Nothing can bring them back, so the best thing anyone can do is to remember them and how they died. Each of us in our own way should set aside this weekend to pray for them, all to pray that such a horrible event never again happens in America. The most ironic thing of all is that Sunday one of the coeds placed a flower in the barrel of a guardsman's rifle saying, "Flowers are better than bullets." Too bad no one listened. C Suzy, V Giving keys to girls who do not have curfews; THE TIME HAS -COME The time has come for everyone to look around and consider the relevance of what is happening to our country and our personal lives. The war in Southeast Asia needs discussing, questioning, and probing. Our country seems to have reached the point where it thinks that it can solve all the problems of the world; too bad it didn 't take time to look around at its own internal distresses like pollution, ghettoes, poverty, education, and inflation. What is happening to our country when people won't realize that the time has come to question our commitment to As ia - when people are killed in an effort to voice opinions for peace? What is happening to our College when faculty members are afraid to face the real issues o fthe time - and even discuss the war? What is happening to our College when so many students are concerned and yet there is no official word or stand on the College's behalf? This editorial does not condone the a Why not consider some these questions and proposals: A /JteJJ119e t As I leave the Presidency of the College, I want to express my appreciation for the privilege of joining you in our common effort to develop a College that is committed to the best in education and in public service. During my 34 years at Wilkes, successive generations of students have given me encouragement and :inspiration and without this encouragement, many efforts .to build a s.tronger .College would never . have been undertaken. As I say good-bye to those of you who are a part of Wilkes, I find myself hoping that you will discover, in the years ahead, that your years at Wilkes have enlarged your vision, deepened your rinsights, and increased your capabilities to work constructively with others for the betterment of our battered world. In the years ahead, I will miss the stimulation that you and other students have given me during the past third of a century.

Dickinson also lost to Franklin and Marshall, by a 14-1 margin. The Colonels played F&M even up the first three minutes of the ball game but then the precision passing and fine stickwork of the home team literally picked the Colonels' defense. apart and dominated play the rest of the way. Colonel a-ttackman Dave Bogusko scored the first goal for the Wilkesmen after F&M had jumped out to a 2-0 lead after three minutes of play. But then F&M went to work as they bombarded the Colonels with six goals in each period. Colonel goalie Dave Rich hacl. a busy day as Marshall fired over 80 shots. Rich, however, saved 32. The key to the game was experience, as each member of F&M's starting team had played lacrosse for at least nine years. "Our inexperience showed today," admitted Colonel coach Jon Habrock, but it was quite obvious . F&M's accurate passing constantly picked the •Coloriel defense apart. If there was a man open on F&M, he -would always get the pass to take the free shot. F&M's 11 assists bear this out. Their stick handling and execution combined the whole game to give F&M possession of the ball. It seemed F&M always had a man in the right position at the right time to scoop up any ground balls. And if they couldn' t scoop it up, they managed to flip the ball or kick it to a teammate who could.

A summary of the sports year, highlighting each season would 'be •appropriate, but every-one knows it was a good year for athletics at Wilkes in 19691970. The Gold Machine brought home a fifth Middle Atlantic Conference Championship, even though they lost two games and had their win streak stopped at 32 games.

Their loss will be felt by the entire wrestling program, not only because of th eir skill but also 'for their "intangibles." The swimmers had ,a nother dismal season, at least on paper. I walked away from their swimming meets feeling that th ese guys [the swim team) really tried hard and were dete rmined t o win. When y ou have that feeling, things c.a n't be that bad. Moving along into the spring sports, the baseball team, under th e first-year co-aching of Gene Domzalski, is winning more than it's losing but with a tighter defense ·the diamondmen might have had a few more wins. At the moment, however, they're fighting for first place in the MAC. If the pitching and defense holds up, they might make it. Lacrosse is experiencing some growing pains this year, particularly after Franklin and Marshall. The crossmen have to win their two remaining games to get over the .500 mark. But they are gaining valuable experience for the ·f uture. Doubles teams are hurting the tenn'is squad this year. With Doug Valenteen and Bill Tarbet leading the way, they're playing .5 00 ball. Rollie Schmidt appears to have transferred some football w ins to the golf course as his duffers have won six straight after losing their initial match. You can't do much better than that. On the girls' side, Mrs. Saricino had some spirited girls to work with in field hockey ,and basketball and pulled off some wins. Next year should be the year for girls' sports, though. But looking over the entire sports scene, not only here at W'ilkes but nationally, one can see a new trend in intercollegiate sports. The athletes are taking on a new dimension, one which enta'ils mure than short hair and the typical "jock" image, a dimension w hich has more to do with just winning and losing. That dimension is involvement. Many black athletes are using sports as a platform from which to shout their grievances and air their complaints. White athletes, tuo, speak out. Some teams dedded, 'for example, to refuse to participate in any intercollegiate athletic contest with Brigham Young, a school whose Mormon doctrine condones l'acism. And even at the Wilkes campus, you can see athletes involved. I'm not saying that athletes were never involved in other activities, nor am I separating the athletes into a separate category of the •s tudent body versus the athletes. I'm simply observing that there is a trend today in which athletics is taking on a new dimension. Time will tell if-it is good or had because this new dimension is 'b ringing athletics closer to life. A popular cliche is one that says scomething like, "Every game is life, and life is a game." But it's not so. An athletic game has definite rules and ·r egulations which permit a player to know exactly what he can or cannot do. Life has no such rules. A game is timed- you stop after 60 minutes or nine innings or whatever, regardless if you're. just about to score or if you want to quit and go home early. 'Life has no such time limit - you can cop out and quit if you like or go into overtime H you care to. There aren't any referees, either. Games aren't life, and they shouldn't be. May'be that's precisely why we need athletic games •because in a game you know if you've won or lost. So in a period of student •i nvolvement, I wonder about the -role of athletics and its purpose on colleges throughout the country. 'Certainly there are many superficial things involved with athletics, but there is a ·great deal more on the plus side. 5% Over Costs TO WILKES COLLEGE STUDENTS Thanks VAN SCOY The Diamond King For All The Patronage and Goodwill.

Dan Kopen, honored as outstanding male dorm student and graduate during commencement activities. More than 500 seniors from Wilkes were graduated as members of the class of 1970, receiving their diplomas in the gym on June 1st. The commencement followed the traditional baccalaureate ceremony, held the previous day in the gym. At the baccalaureate, Dr. Eugene S. Farley, retiring president of the college delivered the address "To Rebuild the Broken Image" - his last major address as president of the college, a post he has held since it was chartered a_s an independent liberal arts college in 194 7. Th~ graduates gathered on Chase Lawn to begin the procession leading the twenty-third annual commencement. At the gym; the seniors heard Kenneth G. Northrop, president of Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York publishers, deliver the graduation address. A 1951 Wilkes graduate, Northrup spoke on the theme, "The l 970'sThe Quality of Life." The formal ceremonies climaxed a hectic week, beginning Wednesday, May 27, at the Treadway Motor Inn with the annual semi-formal dinner dance. A picnic at Dr. Farley's farm was another exciting event on the senior's schedule, taking them back to the place they had been greeted as freshmen four years before. Following the graduation, seniors and their families were feted at a party at the Treadway, sponsored by the Wilkes Alumni Association. The graduation ceremonies followed a traditional schedule. At Baccalaureate, George Conway, a member of the graduating class, of: fered the invocation. Following Dr. Farley's address, Richard Chapline, and Liselotte Schmidt presented a musical selection by Bethoven. The Benediction was offered by Reverend Dr. Jule Ayers. Dr. Ayers also offered the invocation at commencement. Following Mr. Northrup's graduation address, degrees and certificates were con- terred by President Farley. The deans of the College presented the following students to be graduated with honors. In the Bachelor of Arts program, graduating Summa Cum Laude were: Bernard Evanofski, Gloria Fierverker, Mary George, Nancy Kowalski, Elizabeth Malloy, Barbara Morrison, and Patricia Srna. Graduating Magna Cum Laude were: Joan Marie Butnor, Carl Broski, Thea Chesluk, Maureen Clinton, Carl Cook, Joan Gillespie, Paulette Giomboni, Anneta Hawthorne, Thomas Jones, F. Kevin Lughran, Helen Morgan, Robert Ockenfuss, Louise Ricci, Karen Shook, Robert Spisak, Judith Ververs, Lea White, and Russell WilIiams. In the Bachelor of Science program, the following seniors graduated Summa Cum Laude: Earl Balliet, Janice Saunders, Mark Stair and Andrea Wargo. Magna Cum Laude graduates were: James Belles, Robert Burke, Kay Huber, Thomas Jones, Virginia Larson, and Diana Stinziano. · Cum Laude graduates were: Louis Bonita, Donna Edford, Bernard Holleran, Dan Kopen, Kathleen Line, Sheryl Lucker, Joseph Putprush, Richard Stankus, Robert Stark, Lewis Strouse, Johnyne Supulski, Thomas Varinecz, Elaine Yanksoky and Charles Lengle. Nine students received Master's Degrees. Carol Duncan received a Master's in the Terminal Divison William Steel in Biology, Alexand;r Bell and Ho-Nan Sung in Chemistry and Jai-Joon Choi, John J. Cupani' Michael Hudick, Huei-Long Hwang and Patricia Roman in Physics. · Special awards were given to outstanding students. Thomas J.

Letters to Editor · ~elp Jlromote Jleate The class of 1970 is gone. The mortarboards and robes have been set awa y fo r another year. The remaining weeks in J une are reserved for brides. This should seem to mark the end of thoughts of graduati on . However, those who survived the ordeal in the gym on June 1st, are not so ready to let th ings go at t hat. An ordeal it was-and t he sad part is tha t it n~ed not have been qu ite so bad. First of all , hold ing a graduation fo r 550-plus students in a steaming gymnasium is a colossal error. There is simply not room to jam everyone in-and after Mom and Dad have fo rked over many t housands to put ju nior th rough college, they deserve to at least see the cu lmination of their sacrifices. Instead, they must sit on bleachers with no air, the temperatu re set around 80 or 90 degrees. Second ly, splitting up the days for bacca lau reate and graduation make it even harder fo r the parents and friends to be here. They must either make two trips to Wilkes- Barre, or pay to stay over and eat meals. This would be inconven ient enough- but they must also take off a day of work to see the graduation since it is held on Monday. Again, t here is nothing memorable about the graduation. It becomes a business-like procedure, w ith few of the sent imental moments associated wit h such occasions. The answers are quite simple. First of a ll, combine all the events in a Sunday. Baccalaureate cou ld be held Sunda y morn ing or early in the afternoon. Graduation itself could begjn at 6 or 6 :30. To solve the seating problems c:md the heat prob lem, it would be easy to move the exercises to Ra lston Field. Outdoor graduations are increasi ngly popular-t hey are cooler, if held at the proper ti me it is still light outside but the sun doesn't glare. Parents can sit in t he bleachers with an excellent view of the proceed ings. The gym cou ld be reserved for an alternative place in case of rain . Finally, what is wrong with some of the little extra things some people here put down as "highschoolish?" Having the seniors walk · in through an archway or honor guard, perhaps having the girls carry one long-stemmed rose, the simple ceremony of reversing the tassles-these things all make the moment more memorable and solemn. Isn't it time someone reviewed the graduation ceremonies to make it indeed a time for joy, not an excedrin headache? . Co-Editors THE BEACON . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • . . .

I �- Page 4 01t ~IJU.4 by George Pagliaro "50,000 hardcore revolutionary students are a small minority of the 6.7 million college students, but the militant's control over the press had been one of their most successful and _most dangerous accomplishments," said Frank R. Barnett, president of the National Strategy Information Center. In what seemed to be rather an alarmist article in Parson College's Portfolio, Barnett claims that 85% of our nation's student press is controlled by the SOS. I will agree that many campus papers often express militant views, but I feel an estimated percentage of 85 is way out of line. The SOS is not an organization to be ignored, but an article claiming such an overwhelming SOS influence without offering any evidence is not easy to swallow. The Muhlenburg College faculty recently voted to eliminate the college requirement which had compelled all sophomores .and seniors to take the Graduate Record Exams. In discussing the abandonment of the requirement, Dean Philip B. Secor claimed that "Our experience indicated that the data received from the tests is not very reliable in terms of evaluating the relative success of our curriculum." . This is due to the limited sample of scores obtained in various areas from Muhlenburg's small student body. At Muhlenburg, students taking the exams are sophomores and seniors, while at other schools graduates often take the tests. A comparison of the test scores is, therefore, meaningless. In addition, many graduate schools no longer require the tests. What more can be said outside of "That was a wise decision Muhlenburg!" The men of Priapus Hall may be happy to learn that their announcement in regard to dorm visitation was indeed printed in College Misericordia's campus paper. In wishing you luck, allow me to suggest changing the old "Hands Across the Sea" adage to "Hands Across the Susquehanna" and adopting this as your dorm slogan. After all, the bus from Miseri must be due. (Continued from Page JJ George and Earl fam\s Balliet, the students maintaining "the highest averages in four years of study.

VIEWPOINT See Page 3 See Page 2 Announcement was made two weeks ago t.tiat Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of Wilkes College , wd'hld assume the role of chancellor upon his retirement July 1. The statement culminated a period of decision stemming from the offer by the board of trustees to Dr. Farley following their selection of Dr. Francis Michelini as Dr. Farley's successor. In his new capacity, Dr. Farley will devote his time to planning for the future of the College, fundraising, and alumni activities. With Dr. Michelini handling the daily problems of the administration of the school, Dr. Farley is free to do long-range planning. It has been stressed that while the two roles will be related, both men will work in different directions. Dr. Farley's new role follows_34 years as president of Wilkes. During that time he has guided the growth of the College from one classroom building and less than 200 students, to a campus of 54 buildings and a total of 5,000 day and evening students. The remarkable growth and success of the school has won it respect academically and· athletically. It was founded as a liberal arts college, open to all serious students, regardless of rac::::::e:ream Dr. Francis Michelini will officially and legally assume the responsibilities of President of Wilkes College this Wednesday, July 1. The transition of the new president has been going on for practical purposes for several months, with Wednesday marking the legal transactions. Official inauguration ceremonies will be held sometime in the fall . Offices will be moved some'time later this week. Dr. Michelini, former dean of Academic Affairs, has been asso:;iated with Wilkes College since 15 'years ago when he joined the Wilkes ,faculty. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Seton Hall University, his MA in biology from the University of Delaware and his PhD in biology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1955. He theri joined the faculty at the College as_ an assistant professor in biology. A veteran of World War II, Michelini earned the Combat Service Star during the Rhine Campaign while serving with the U.S. Army Air Force from 1944-46.

Upward Bound is a special project sponsor~d by the Office of Education and Wilkes College. This year's project will take place from July 13 through August 21. These 41 students will enjoy the benefits of living on the Wilkes Campus and will attend classes taught by Wilkes professors. For the first five weeks of the project, the students will attend classes i_n mathematics, English, reading, and writing. Special courses such as archeology, art, photography, and Black studies will also be offered. These courses were chosen according to suggestions from the students themselves. · During the last week of the program, the Upward Bound group will move to Camp Acahela for a career and occupation week. The students will cooperate with the Boy Scouts of America and become members: of exploratory troops to investigate possible careers for their future. They will still attend classes, but will also enjoy participation in athletic activities. Speakers have been invited to address the students on different vocations and occupations. Among the topics to be discussed will be law, business education, sociology, banking, real estate, and college education in general. Upward Bound is not only limited to six weeks in the summer. Rather, it is a working project throughout the entire school year. The students have continuous guidance and counseling on their future and the college they plan to attend. Under the leadership of Dr. Eugene Hammer, chairman of the Education Department, Matt Fliss, assistant director, Mr. Edwin Johnson as guidance counselors, and Mrs. Lyons as secretary, the project has successfully progressed into its fourth summer. During the year the students travel as a group to cultural and educational events. A newspaper is put out by the students, arid tutoring is available in many subjects. This summer there will be six tutors to assist the group. Throughout the nation there are 270 colleges that participate with Upward Bound. Hall. The College has an operating budget of $50 million with tangible assets at more than $ 20 million. The budget has grown $7 million from 1963-69. Dr. Michelini is also active in community affairs. He has been chairman of the Wilkes-Barre Model Cities Policy Board, director of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, Family Service Association, Welfare Planning Council, Wyoming United Fund, Greater Valley Regional Medical Program, and the Northeastern Medical Program, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association. Michelini has also served on the Governor's Committee on Vocational rehabilitation, and was a member of the Charter Study Commission of Wilkes-Barre. Dr. Michelini is married to the former Anne Marie Sterner of Lansford. The Michelini's have three daughters' Michelle, Lisa and Lucia.

The problem is, what should the Beacon concern itself with? What is the proper course? The answer, logically and humanely is, the course that most concerns itself with life's basic component, the individual. Obviously, any yardstick, especially such a subjective one as individuality, bethe misused. Scien- _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ ___________ ___. tists find thatcan even most careful experiments tend to confirm their hypothe sis. But let's try to use our yardstick, and maybe you'll agree with me and maybe not. Anything is better than blind prejudice. So how does the afore-mentioned Joe College measure up? I mean the ideal, pure, Jo~ College, with his endless succession of athletic • events, social functions and fraternity parties; his total subserviance to arrtrks. (I guess we all know people who are about on the verge of mental and/or physical collapse over those arbitrary little ink blots:) Stifling Stereotype In my opinion, the Joe College stereotype, which is acted out to differing degrees by many students is totally stifling to individuality, and thus, by that yardstick, bad. If a person makes a conscious choice to insert his individuality into the machine of society, believing that he will indeed be happier and better off after being squashed and polished to specification, then perhaps the Joe College ideal can be seen as a positive good. Joe doesn' t have to think , society is always there to tell him what is important. In school it's your cum that counts. Isn't it a good indicator of your overall value as a human being. It's used as such, no question about it. After school, money takes the place of marks and bosses replace profe ssors as the Gods who hand out ·rewards and mete out punishments. In his narrow green world of success, the best Joe can hope for is to convince the Gods that he is fit to enter their ranks. Since guidelines are always omnipresent, and society goes so far as to define its own version of happiness, there is no chance for error or subsequent failure. Success automatically accrues, in some degree, to those who prostitute themselves to the straight and narrow. · Rules Meaningless? But are success and happiness that important, especially when they are of the plastic variety, by, for and of an artificial society? Inherently, "rules" are meaningless. It is people who are willing to abide by them who give them their dubious value. To blindly follow the stringent set of dogmas that are the backbone of society, means to· me, to give up individuality. It seems an easy way out, a super expressway through life; easy to travel ; fast; but all con(Co ntinued on Page 4) Charles B. Waller .

By profession, he was a lawyer, serving as a senior partner in the law firm of Bedofrd, Waller, Griffith, Darling and Mitchell, with offices in the United Penn Bank. But the personality of Charles · Waller rose far above the confines of his chosen profession. In his eighty years, he served not only in · the field of law, where he was regarded as an expert on the Constitution as well as business and banking law, but also made significant contributions to the daily newspaper field in the city, education, banking, civic and community pr~ jects. Waller found time to serve in responsible positions with some of the most stable institutions in this area. Until January, he served on the board of directors of the First National Bank of Wilkes-Barre. He was appointed general counsel for the bank and named director emeritus and a member of First National Bank Foundation. _ Twice Atty. Waller was chosen as a delegate to the Republican NationAtty. Charles B. Waller, al Convention, and also served as state chairman of the Republican fina nce committee. Among his civic and community kind of man he was.

Recall the photographs.of bearded troublemakers parading for numerous and vague "causes." That's the popular image of the typical college ~:udent. Fortunately, the Biology Department of Wilkes College has gone a long way to dispel both inaccurate pictures! · Under the direction of two professors, Dr. Thomas Mizianty and Dr. Donald Tappa, the results have been to the benefit, not the detriment, of the college and the community. True, biology majors still have to spend many hours doing lab assign- · ments. It is also true that many · senior biology majors spend a great deal of time publicizing their " causes." But the two professors combined both activities - and it has added up to an enthusiastic community involvement. · Five members of the Senior class are shown examining data collected from their recent project on the environmental problems facing Wyoming Valley. Kneeling, left to right, are Bernie Holleran, city; and Dave Roberts, Kingston. Standing, left to right are Jay Goldstein, Kingston; Jack Bl~nnett, city; and Dan Kopen Forty Fort, who participated in the project. ' on pollution and conservation. Others attended town meetings in Tunkhannock to discuss a proposed nuclear plant. Many students with literary inclinations inundated national magazines with letters and articles, and some investigated matters of vital importance to Wyoming Valley - such as the effects of miner' s asthma and the burning culm banks. • Last spring, plans were formulated to observe F.arth Day locally. Much of the success of the involvement program can be understood by talking to some of the students who carried it out. Changed Seminar Mizianty and Tappa changed the format of the senior biology seminar class at Wilkes five years ago. It was their aim to make the subject ~ atter relevant to the community. Dr. Tappa explained, "Dr. Mizianty and I felt that the class, as seniors, should be ready to put 'into action' some of the training they had feceived during their four years in the major." To that end, each student was expected to participate in some actEarth Day Project ive project within the area.

With other biology majors and the assistance of members of the stl,!dent body at large, Blannett's project evolved into a parade through downtown Wilkes-Barre, and an allday forum in the Kingston Armory concerning the pollution problem. He was able to enlist the help of local politicians in being awarded a parade permit and use of the Armory. Activate Others Blannett worked primarily with the Wilkes College Student Committee for a Clean Environment. During the campaign he stressed the long range goals of his group, "We are ready to establish a permanent, open organization which needs activated people to activate others." This points up an unplanned, but satisfying result of the seminar. Students pursued their interests with a dedication that did not seem to end with the final grade from a professor. Once involved, students tended to follow up their interests. The influence was felt in many ways. Dan Kopen, a graduate from Forty Fort, looked like the quiet, serious chemistry student he is the only non-biology major\to take th!! course. Kopen's appearance is deceiving. Serving as Student Gov- . ernment President during the past year, he compiled a commendable record for maintaining relations between students and administration in shaky moments. At commencement he was honored as the Outstanding Graduate. Kopen is no stranger to problems in communication: as his project he undertook visits to high scJ:,iools from West Pitt st0 n to 1>lymouth, speaking on our environment. Kopen worked closely with Jay Goldstein, a fellow classmate and his vice president in student government. Goldstein participated in all the school visits. The results were excellent, but not entirely what they expected. Two other students worked together as a team lecturing to juniors and seniors in high schools. David Roberts, Kingston, and Bernie Holleran, city, discussed air pollution and related respiratory diseases, and found later that most schools wanted the program continued. Girls Help Too! The credit for many of the projects does not belong to the men, however - the distaff group did their job too! Using feminine persuasion,PaulineGashi,Wyoming, and Maureen Januski, Larksville, traveled to Tunkhannock to estabJish the ecological consequences of the proposed nuclear plant there. Credit also belongs to many other students for devoting time to projects. Frank Zini (Kingston), John Telencho (Nanticoke), Joseph When all the summer school work is finished for the day and the heat of this fair city has gone to students' heads and out again, the best way to relax is in an air-conditioned theatre. Lean back in the musty smelling chairs, take a deep whiff of popcorn and enjoy the capricious lives of others. Some of the new flicks making the circuit range from the mudcovered grounds of Woods.t ock to the quest of an All-American boy. The technicolor film, directed by Michael Wadleigh and produced by Bob Maurice captures all the mud, joy and excitement that enveloped half a million young people at the Woodstock Rock Festival. The film, appropriately entitled, "Woodstock," is a critically acclaimed Warner Brother's motion picture presentation of the unforgettable three-day celebration of peace and music. Out of his cowboy jacket and boots the "Midnight Cowboy," Jon Voight, looks like the typical cleancut boy. Maybe that's why Warner Brothers signed the new star for the title role of "The All-American Boy" from the kaleidoscope world of New York the once-aspiring stud finds himself in a small town portraying a young prizefighter who dreams of being an Olympic champion: ' "The Presbyterian Church Wager," based on the novel "McCabe" by Edmond Naughton, is set in the Western town of Presbyterian Church in the 1890's. It is the story of a small-time gambler, played by Warren Beatty, his love affair with the madam of a brothel, played by Julie Christie, and his battle to save the town from being taken over by the Eastern mining establishment. The film is a Robert Altman-David Foster Production for Warner Brother's. Altman, whose "M.A.S.H." is one of the biggest hits of the current film season, will direct the new film, which marks Beatty's return to the studio where he scored in the fabulous "Bonnie and Clyde." From out of the past come such legendary characters as outlaw Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett to join Academy Award winner John Wayne in a new western drama "Chisum." Wayne stars as John SiinpsonChisum, who, involved with the above heroes, became a key figure in the great westward cattle · drives in the 1870's. - (Continued o n Page 4) New Graduate ProgramProvi.des I WHAT • WHERE • WHEN M.S.
