When asked how many students this will affect, Holsberger said, "one too many." In other new business, Holsberger reported that SGs academic committee is going to propose to the faculty that no tests be given the last week before finals. Last year, the department heads voted in favor of this policy, 18-6, but many professors have not been following this idea. SG.vould like to make this idea an academic policy which would be strictly enforced. Concerning the academic calendar for next year, SG is proposing to President's Council that there be a week-long fall break in Oct. Classes would start Aug. 28, the fall break ·would be Oct. 16-20, then the Thanksg-iving According to Carl Holsberger, Student Government president, some seniors may not be able to graduate this year, and will not be warned in advance. Reporting on the recent faculty academic standing committee meeting, he said that seniors graduate with the reouirements of the College bulletin for the year they enter as freshmen or graduate with. It is stated for this year's senior that he or she must at least graduate with a 1.85 cum. This has, however, changed. Seniors who take advantage of the new policy where one can drop a 1.0 or 0.0 by taking the course over and have their cums readjusted must graduate with a 2.0. It will also be stated in next year' s bulletin that all must graduate with at least a 2.0 cum.

In a surprise announcement, the newly elected freshman class president, Dana Schaffer attended the meeting. All class presidents are supposed to attend SGmeetings, according to the SG constitution, but Dave Palanzo, Mike Barth and Charlie Stefanetti, the senior, junior and sophomore class presidents, have not attended any SG meetings this year. Holsberger and the SG body commended Schaffer. Jim Edwards Modifications To Be Made -In Financ ial Aid Procedures Several changes have been ,nade involving application procedures for financial aid for the 1978:79 academic year. According to Richard Raspen, director of financial aid, the changes themselves fall into two categories: forms and filing dates. I n t he past, a separate applicat ion had to be filed for the Basic Grant Program. Beginning with the 1978-79 year, Pennsylvania residents must apply for a Basic Grant by filing the State Grant application of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. A new form has been developed by PHEAA which will serve as the application for both the State and the Basic Grant Programs. This "Composite Form" will be mailed to current State Grant recipients in the near future, and will be processed without charge to the students. The Financial Aid Office will also have forms available for those students who do not-receive one in the mail. Non-Pennsylv ania residents will be able to apply for a Basic Grant by completing a Financial Aid Form and sending it to the College Scholarship Service in Princeton, New Jersey. Some students, like New Jersey residents, may also use the FAF to apply for their state's State Scholarship--Grant Program. Additional information on those programs should be made available in the near future. In any case, every .student should file an application (either the PHEAA--BEOG Composite Form or the ~AF ) for a Basic Grant. Even 1f a student ,was Yet -For New York Bus Trip denied assistance in the past, he should reapply, because changes in program regulations andor changes in the family's financial circumstances may mean he would be awarded a grant for 1978-79. The final form change involves the demise of t he Parents' Confidential Statement as a need analysis document. Instea ) f Robert J.

Last year, the Council nearly died and for obvious reasons. The President, Dave Cherundolo, lacked the leadership for the job. Council meetings were every two weeks and lasted about twenty minutes. The Council had no major accomplishments to speak of and student interest was low, so naturally, attendance was _ poor. Things have drastically turned arouncl for !h~ better and Louie DeRobertis, CC president, is the main reason_, _ He constantly brings new ideas to the Council and wants to try new things that past Councils would never even dare to try. He holds meetings every week that last sometimes as long as an hour and a half. (A record in CC history) He leads most of t he discussions but in no way dominates them. He is open to suggestions and other ideas from Council members. No More "B\dhps" This is also a big difference over last year's Council. Council members are no longer the "bumps on a log" they used to be. Students such as Diane Marcinko, CC treasurer, Dave Evans, Becky Toton, Sue Fischer: John Griffth, Sue Pudlosky and Denise Strickland, CC vice-president. contribute regularly at Council meetings. Attendance has also been- excellent this semester. The accomplishments of the Council; however, do not reflect the actual work the Council has put into them. Both the Smorgasbord, held earlier in the semester, and the Halloween party were disasters because of poor attendance. The odds were against the Council in both instances, especially in the case of the Halloween party, where the Housing Office granted permission for a dormitory to hold a party that same evening, competing against CC's party. A lot of hard work and planning went into these parties arid Marcinko, Social Committee chairman, and Stnckland deserve to be men· tioned for their time and effort.

Other colleges have been doing this type of thing for years and it is about time Wilkes is undeDt~king this task. Student Government is responsible for writing the evaluation forms, mailing them out and eventually tabulating and publishing the results. Routine Business Completed Moving on down, Student Government has handled routine business rather successfully this semester. Homecoming this year ran smoothly and was considered a success by all. Rosetta Chiavacci, Homecoming chairperson, did an excellent job of coordinating all the activities and taking care of all the behind-the-scenes details. There has been no financial report THE HUT at Hotel Steri1g Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches policy rules and the students, backed by IDC, attempted to modify the present party policy to create a more liveable situation for all. IDC formed a committee to discuss the party policy and came to the decision that the amount of profit permitted and the rules for ticket sales should be reviewed. At present, there is a $10 limit for profits, and tickets cannot be. sold at the door of the party that night. A lot of the IDC members said they thought dorms should be allowed to make bigger profits. President Tom Bazzini stressed that bot h the administration and students have to give in a little before everyone will be satisfied. The IDC officers all seemed to be interested in the business being discussed. Bazzini ·was efficient as president. He was always aware of everything that was going on with IDC, as well as with t he rest of the happenings at Wilkes. Many students may feel that IDC lacks importance on the grounds that it has not gotten done what students would like done. The trouble is that it takes a lot of work for IDC to make progress because it has to answer to the administration. -It is believed that the Inter-Dormitory Council would be much ·more productive if it had more input and interest from the students.

The Film Committee, headed by Steve Kirschner, has done a commendable job presenting a wide variety of films th is semester. Kirschner has also been able to get more use out of the CPA for films rather than using the SUB, which is a task in itself. Handling fund requests from various student organizations is a mjor part of SG's business. With the money SG has to work with, the body handles each request carefully and will only grant money that is needed. SG has been much more consistent this semester in granting requests and thoroughly questions each organization on how the money will be spent. It should be noted , however, that SG needs and deserves more money to work with. The answer does not necessarily lie in raising tuition either. SG - could sponsor fu nd-raising projects which may alleviate the problem.

On the other hand, there are members like Kim Dubosky, Dave Evans, John Sentore, Julie Kent, Rosetta Chiavacci and Daryl Dwyer who offer constructive criticism and new ideas regularly. Then there is Larry Assalita, who is the only member who knows what SG's potentials are, where SG has been and where it is headed. Besides being vice-president, he secretly acts as top advis·or, almost guardian to Holsberger, advisor to SG and SG parliamentarian. It is a shame he is a: senior because he would have made an excellent SG president, This, however, should not detract from Holsberger who is a good pr~sident with some strong leadership characteristics.

STOCK �PAGE 4, THE BEACON, Dt:CE1\1BER 9, 1977 Commuter Council Questioned NO SMOKING On Reasons For Activities - - - -- - - - - - By Tex and Fritz To The Editor: In response to Commuter Council's decision to "reduce the funding of the Christmas, St. Pat's, , and Valentine's Day parties," I would like to say that, maybe it's a good idea. However CC, are you really sure that this is what the majority of the commuter students want? I am a junior, and I have attended the Christmas parties, St. Valentine' s Day parties and block parties at Wilkes College for three years, and at every function I have seen just as many commuter students enjoying themselves at these activities as I have seen dorm students. Alcohol has become a social drink in American life. It brings people closer together, and the only ones hurt by it are those people who do not know how to handle it. I feel that the majority students attending Wilkes College do know what alcohol is all about, and they do not use it for t he soul purpose of getting drunk in a crowded room . Students on t his campus do enjoy getting dressed up once in a while to hear a band, have S-'/me good food and have a few drinks. Why not, most Americans do. At the same time, you are sponsoring an activity for approximately 250 people at a cost of $5 where a bus trip is an activity that maybe 100 people would attend at the price of $8 a t icket. Problems that do arise at activities where alcoholic beverages are served, are caused by a few (a minority). This minority should be dealt with separately, and the majority should not be punished for the actions of this minority. If you still wish to sponsor other activities, please arrange them at times when dorm students can also go, and try to arrange these activities for as many people as possible not just . one or two busloads of individuals. l feel the purpose of a student organization such as SG , IDC, or CC should be to provide act ivities t hat will promote interest for as many students as possible, bot h dorm and commuter. I ask you, CC. Are you really doing this? I am the vice-president of the Inter-Dorm Council, and I would just like t o make clear that these ideas and comments of which I have just stated, have nothing to do with IDC, or any of it' s members. These are my own views as a student of Wilkes College. Respectfully submitted, Gary Toczylowski Dear W.C. Scoopers, , How' s the ~ooping been going lately?

As stated in the last issue of The Beacon, a one Mr. Greg Black stated t hat Sha Na Na is being considered for the spring concert that is t o be held on March 15th or 16th.

" I do admit that this proposed concert will send· the • valleys sale of hair grease and bobby socks skyrocketing, but t hat' s about all the good it will do. I feel what is lacking here, on behalf of Mr. Black, is sophistication; Sha Na Na is a big no no no, unless of course your mentality is that of a 1961 high school student. Just in case Mr. Black is lacking suggestions, rather than good taste, let me be t he first to lend a helping hand. Have you ever heard of F leetwood Mac, Greg, or ma ybe Livingston Taylor and his brother J ames, of whom played at my high school when I was a junior 3 years ago; so don' t fall back on a cash excuse because if my high school of 1200 could afford them a college of 2800 surely can with ease.

Two Wilkes Colle ge debaters, Donna Korba, a sophomore art major from Wilkes.Barre, and David Evans, a senior English majOi" from Kingston , have contributed toward making the Wilke s College Debate Union an outstanding academic organ ization. One of the oldest g-rouos on campus, t he Deba te Union, 'aiong wit h its growing prestige and succe ss, has become an important link in t he Wilkes College chain of tradition. With only half t he season completed t he Wilkes De bate Union has produced 24 wins, a significant start, with t he organization's record for a total year being 30. Ne verthe less, Donna and David make it clear t hat winning, although rewarding, is not everything. David has won a t otal of 18 awards during his four years on the team and is captain of the Wilke s Debate UniQP. At a re ce nt tournament in Bloomsburg he placed fourt h overall in a fie ld of nearly .300 participants. " It is the highe st we have ever had at the colle ge ," remarks Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, assistant profes;;or of English at Wilke s and the te am's coach. Dr. Kinney calls David his " right hand man" and it's easy to se e why! The tall, sandy-haired student has also captured national accolades, winning a n· award at last year's Pi Kappa De.f.a conve ntion at Seattle. Kin ney notes that David is "versatile" as he participates in both debating and forensics, another branch of the organization. He is the "best" Kinney concludes. Sharing the spotlight with David has been Donna, a member of the squad for a year-and-a-half. She particularly concerns he~lf with forensics, or individual events competition. Her outstanding efforts have won her a total of 11 awards and the re~ent qualification to participate in the National Individual Events Tournament in April. She s eems specifically devoted to persuasive and informative speaking, two forensics categories in which she is unequalled. But what exactly does it mean to be a debater? As David puts it, "It's being able to express yourself logica]ly and concisely . ~ ~ - By 1 ~o.'>l ~ D~f'~: /l(t,/i :\ •,<~f ;_~F %"&1 , ' 'i ~ 11 ' ' 1 Pam Long '' , , · -- ' !( 1.1, 1 ,11 'ff / (~'!JJ f.' /1 \ ,, , r,l, :(11•: ~f j.

Both Donna and Da,.,fd relate t he reaoo,ns for their extraordinary succes<;, each giving pra1se to Dr. Kinn ey for his unlimited dedication and assisiance . Donna de:-cribes the feeling: " I don' t think anyone on our team could have done anything without Dr. Kinne y. He's a super coach." The team' s success in general ste ms from t he ir" hard work and pe rce ptive ability t o 'work as a unit.' They are a close-knit group and whe n one wins, they all win," subscr ibes t he ir coac h , Dr. Ki nney. But winning is only part of t he story. Learning a nd educational expe rie nce are the first prerogatives, with trophies and awards, secondary. "It's not only winning," Donna asserts, "winning helps but ten years from now I'll be more grateful for the knowledge I have gained artd the people I have met rather than the trophies on my shelf.'' Indeed, the spoils of their progress do not apply only to their college careers. They incorporated this knowledge into the mainstream of their lives where it has prospered much. Since both are preparing to teach upon graduation from Wilkes, this experience is proving extremely valuable. To David, who is presently student teaching in the Wyoming Valley West School District, "It helps in many different fields. You can make a cla:;sroom entertainment; people learn more when they are e njoying themselves." Both David and Donna reflect t hat they have gained enormous self-confidence, the kind which will enable them to cope with life, and which also has made " Kinney' s Kids," the affectionate name for the Wilkes Debate Union, an extreme ly consiste nt fore nsic and debate powe r.

He got the Colonels well on their way toward victory when he showed Lehigh's standout lightweight, Steve Bastianelli the lights. The exciting pin came with only one second remaining in the period. Photo by Bob Gaetano ."What's a Snake Pit?" The Colonel wrestlers took their own venom with them when they travelled to Bethlem on Tuel'day to take on the 8th ranked Lehigh Engineers. The Wilkesmen !£Ored perhaps one of the biggest victories in the history of the college's wrestling program when they upset powerful Lehigh by a ~ore of 25-18. The Engineers were the ones who were snake-bitten as they fell prey to the inspired Colonel attack. It was the first time that Wilkes has ever beaten the Eastern powerhouse and they picked a very opportune time to perform the magic. "We are naturally very pleased with such an important win," commented the thrilled coach John Reese. "It would have been a major accomplishment just to beat them, but it took on a special flavor by winning iit front of Lehigh's home fans." Grace Hall on the Lehigh campus is the place where thunder comes rolling down from the stands as the vocal Engineer fans cheer their team on to great heights. But on Tuesday night, they were extremely quiet as the confident Colonels made a little 45th Annual Wrestling Open Scheduled. _For December 28 & 29 A-Cottt)J To a dedicated wrestler, getting his name etched into the record books for accomplishments on the mat is very gratfying and a sense of self-satisfaction is present when that personal goal is achieved. To a wrestling team, nothing is better than gaining recognition by producing a total team effort to capture a championship and share the "fruits of victory." At Wilkes College, the sport of wrestling becomes increasingly popular, year after year, and included in its wrestling fortunes, is the honor of hosting one of the most prestigious wrestling tournaments in the country. The wrestling Colonels will be attempting to finish high in the 45th annual "Wilkes Open" grappling tourney slated for WednJifi}ay and Thursday, Dec. 28 and 29, at th~ &ont""h Franklin Street gymnasium with Dean· :George Ra.lston serving as Tournament director. Many speak of the Wilkes open as being the oldest, most unique tournament in the nation, and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED calls it, "The Rose Bowl of Wre!tling." It all began · in 1932, when a local wrestling coach from Wyoming Seminary, Austin Bishop, initiated the event in cooperation with the local Wilkes-Barre YMCA. Wilkes College took over the sponsoring of the tourney in 1950, along with the gymnasium. At that time it usually attracted 400 or 500 wre_stlers and approximately 35 teams. Attendence has slightly decreased since the Midlands Open Tournament and C. W. Post Tournament in Long Island are held the same days and are forced to compete with it. Over 300 wrestlers from acros;; the nation and 30 teams are expected to be represented this year and a heavy favorite to win its sixth consecutive team championship is Clarion State. Last year, Clarion won the team trophy by accumulating a total of 72 ¼ points and were followed by Rhode Island, 40¼; East Carolina, 35; Navy, 35; North Carolina, 25; and Wilkes, with 24½ points. A close race is expected between the Diversity of ,Rhode Island, Ohio University, E.carolina, N.C. State, Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, and Wilkes for team laurels in 1977. The Colonel grapplers have always been noted for making a strong showing in the tourney, which they are host, and have won six runner-up trophies in the past eight years. The decline however, has been the past two seasons. The last Wilkes wrestler to get his name "Etched" into the record books was Mike Kas,ab, in 1974. Jim Weisenfluh, who was a outstanding Blue and Gold performer who became the college's first Ea!>tern Intercollegiate Wrestling Champion and was voted the "Most Outstanding Wrestler" almost turned the trick in 1975. But he was forced to .settle for a 2nd place, losing in the final round to highly-touted Clarion State wrestler, Wade Schalles. _ In last year's tourney, Jone trophy winners were Bruce Lear, 4th (150) and Dave Gregrow, 3rd (190). This year the Colonels and John Reese hope to regain their high status and do better than last years · disappointing showing. Last winter's outstanding wrestler award was captured by Clarion State's 126 pounder Tom Turnbull. The complete list of winners of the 44th annual tourney include: 118- Bill DePaoli. California State; 126- Tom Turnbull, Clarion State; 134- Paul Osmond, East Carolina; 142- Tom Bauer, Standridge, Clarion State; 167- Rich Rodriguez, N.C. State; 177- Jack Rauer, Ohio University; 190- Jerry White, Penn State; and heavyweight- Bill Bailey, Pitt. ROPIN' EM· Sophomore Ed Johnson looks like he's roping cattle in his 118 pound match against Lehigh on Tuesday. He steered clear of trouble and won an 8-2 decision over Tom Sloand to git the Colonels buckin'. Photo by Bob Gaetano Charlie Brown to increase the Wilkes bulge to 19-6. At 167, Perry Lichtinger was not to be denied as he crushed Bill Anomilo, 15-4. He suffered a knee injury during the bout however, and it was not known at pres;; time whether he will mis;; any matches. .The Colonels had taken six of t he seven matches thus far and had the victory clinched before Lehigh had a chance to counter with their strong wrestlers in the upper weights. Gene Clemons was handled in a major decision by Collin Kilrain, 14-5. Kilrain was recruited heavily by Reese before finally deciding _on Lehigh. At 190, Doug Dre!£her was almost t he · sacrificial lamb. He was overwhelmed by All-World Mark Lieberman and was pinned at 3:34. At heavyweight, Dan House drew with Penn State Invitational Champ Mike Newburn by an 11-11 !£Ore. After the smoke cleared, the Colonels had been victorious in six of ten matches with a draw. It was a tremeendous win for the grapplers. The upse t ran the Wilkes record to 3-0 after wins over York ~· ?lt ,r~ "l(c,fflci$~ thunder of their own. Sophomore Ed Johnson started the ball rolling for Wilkes with an 8-2 decision over Tom Sloand in the 118 pound cla$. Sloand had earlier in the week beaten Eastern champ Gene Mills of Syracuse in the Penn State Invitational. The good vibes started coming on strong when freshman Brian Billig astonished the crowd with a pin over Steve Bastianelli in the 126 cla$. Billig's pin came with only one second remaining at 4:59. ' The injury to Alex Grohol left Joe Napoli in the 134 bracket and he was outmatched in the weight clas;;ification. He is normally at 126 and was pinned by Doug Herrick at 7:26. The Momentum started to !>Wing Wilkes' way for good in the 142 bout, as they clung to their 9-6 lead. Coach Reese felt that if · they could win one of the first three matches they would be in pretty good shape. He was right again! Casper Torte Ila decisioned Greg Cunningham in a nail biter, 2-1. It was a bout that could have gone either way and ·the Colonels proved that they were tough enough to meet the challenge. Mark Densberger completely dominated Dennis Reed in the 150 match, winning a major decsion by an 11-3 count. Co-captain Greg MacLean followed with a 3:1 win over by jeff acornley and a championship in the Binghamton State Invitational Tournament. "We were flat during the York match and we wrestled horribly, despite t.he win," commented Reese. • "On Sunday, we rebounded well with six individual champions in the tourney. But on Tuel'day, it was anybody's gues;; as to whether the team was mentally prepared for Lehigh. That can be a harrowing experience. They were very quiet before the match, but once they got on the mat, they were confident despite the obvious home advantage that Lehigh has." Yesterday, the Colonels faced a very physical &JUad in the 4th ranked team from Oregon State. Coming off a brilliant 28-4 record of last season, the western team is loaded again. NCAA place winners Pat Plourd, Dick Knorr, Marty Ryan, and Howard Harris pace the team. · Concluding the Colonel slate before the break is a double dual match with Navy and Florida. The Middies have two EIWA place winners back this season and the Florida team is an up and coming southern powerhouse. If the Colonels survive the week in good shape, they have a great shot at being ranked nationally by the Amateur Mat News.

The FAF is a dual-purpose form: (1) it will be used by non-Pennsylvania residents to apply for the ~asic Grant; and (2) it must be completed by all students who apply t o t he College for aid through t he Wilkes Scholarship-Grant, Act 101 Grant, Nat ional Direct Student Loan, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant , College Work-Study, Nursing Scholarship and Loan, and Gulf Oil corporation Loan programs. l n the past, forms could be filed as soon as they became available, which was as early as September and October. This year, the forms will not be available until late December and t hey may not be filed before J anuary 1. The effect of this change is that families wiil not be able t o est imate 1977 income. By delaying filing until after J a nuary 1, t he 1977 information submitt ed will be actual figures, taken from either State of Federal Income Tax returns, or earnings statements or from records of non-taxable income. The filing deadline dates have not been changed. PHEAA requires the State Grant form to be received by them before May 1, 1978; t he c·ollege by April 15, 1978 and BE OG by March 15, 1979. This last date is somewhat immaterial because P ennsylvania residents must file t he Composite Form by May 1, 1978, and non- Pe nnsy l v ania r esiden t s should file the F AF by April 15, 1978.

Sacchi, who looks, talks and acts like t he famed actor, will present scenes from such movies as "The Maltese Falcon," "The Cai ne Mutiny" and ·' Casablanca," while also providing a glimpse at Bogey's probable reaction to the 70s. The two- hour presentation has been .given at a nuinber of colleges and universities throughout the United States, and has also ·played to theater audiences. Sacchi, a man in his mid- t hirties, never met Bogart, who died in 1957. He has, however, read every Bogey biography and has seen most of the actor's 75 movies. H is natural resemblence to Bogart has been an obvious asset, and he has portrayed the man in a number of television commericals in addition to doing the theatrical performances. A theater critic who attended a performa nce of ·"Bogey's Back" noted that Sacchi's work "is not an imitation," but a "recreation." Sacchi "talked like Bogey, looked like Bogey, dressed like him, even moved like him. Weird!" Bogey will be back on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts.

President Robert S. Capin told an audience of 200 community leaders, alumni, and members of the college family last month that funds raised will be directed toward scholarship support, enlarging the endowment fund, and reconstruction of existing college properties. "We believe that these efforts are in keeping with the mission of Wilkes College and will help maintain its character an d quality," noted Capin. Attorney Joseph J. Savitz, chairman of the Board of Truslees, commented that "the trustees view the campaign as ·a vital step forward in keeping with the goals of the college." The keynote speaker at the Leaders' Conference was Attorney Louis H. Pollak, reknown lawyer and dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He stressed that independent col- leges "are critical in a free society," and "are really what a democratic society is all about." The" Alpha" campaign, named for the Greek letter symbolizing leadership and the beginning of efforts, is already a roachin tht $500,000 mark. Attorney Andrew J. Hourigan will head the drive. In addition to providing support to the college scholarship fu nd which aids 80 per cent of Wilkes students, a portion of the funds will be used to maintain a number of the historic buildings on campus, including the reconstrudion of campus property into an adequate student union building. Enlar g-ment of t he endowment I I fund is also a goal of the campaign, and will be undertaken in order to competitively recruit and retain a quality faculty. Capital gifts campaigns are usually conducted every several years and are held in addition to the a nnual_ college campaign. The intensiv~ part of this campaign is expected to take place over the next 18 months, while pledges will be made over the next three years. On Th e Cover SAVITZ: "WE HAVE MADE OUR COM MITMENT TO THE · REGION... " CAPIN: "WE BELIEVE WILKES COLLEGE HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE A LEADE R IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA." POLLAK: "BASICALLY· INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS ARE REALLY WHAT A DEMOCRATI C SOCIETY IS ALL ABOUT." "I wonder what the tea leaves have in store for tonight."

The council is also proposing to keep the monthly $12 stickers for students who would prefer t his to t he new plan. In other council matters it was reported that the bus trip to New York City over the break was a success. The council is now looking into sponsoring bus trips to see 1) a '76er's basketball game or 2) a baseball game or 3) a weekend in New York c~sponsored with Cue 'N' Curtain, or all three. All these trips being planned are open to all students. In response to Gary Toczylowski' s letter to the editor in the last issue of The • Beacon, Louis DeRobertis, CC president, said ''.how far do we have to go to convince t he people our events are open to dorm students. We are not out to block them." Toczylowski stated in his letter "CC should be to provide activities that will promote interest for ... both dorm and commuter. I ask you CC, are you really doing this?"' · In new business, Shelia Kupinsky has resigned from the council C!lUSing John Lychos to be appointed to fill her position as a senior · representative. With- the bodis permission D~Robert ~s is going to discus~ wit~ President Ca pin the idea of callmg off school u nder hazardous snow conditions. Snow days have never before been called in the history of the College but DeRobertis noted that "Wilkes is the only college in the area for commuters which never cancels for snow."

Not only did I do my 12 term papers for the semester, but I read all of may books,underlined all of the chapters, and studied for all my first tests." J."Wow! But didn't you have any fun??" H.(indignantly) " Of course I did-I went through all the latest editions of the encyclopedias and found all of the mistakes the publishers missed. Then (he suddenly breaks into an animated smile) I sent them all to the company!It was such satisfying work-But I must admit,next time 1want something more challenging, that was too easy! Well, Joseph, I had best be on my way, I have a class at twelve o'clock." · J. "But you have a lot of time-it's only half past nine." H."Joseph, I know, but I can go and read another few books!" (not watching where he is going, his briefcase bumps the next table, and a glass of milk goes flying, drenching the occupant of the table) . According to the clock it's only nine a.m. and J oes' first class is at ten a.m. Suddenly the door opens and in walks Sylvia $. ·Spendthrift. Sylvia's life revolves around money ,shopping.clothes, and men,(not necessarily in that order). Sylvia is at Wilkes working harder on her Mrs. than on her B.S. Sylvia ')sauntering subtly over to the table) "Hi Joe! What's new? Mind if I sit down for awhile? How was your vacation? Mine was terrif!-Gee, isn't it just awful to be back so soon?!!" J."Hi Sylvia! My vacation was o.k.,But I had to work, so there wasn't much time to get out. What made your vacation so great?" S."Oh Joe-it wasn't a what,it was a who, I mean I met "The Man"~he is absolutely the most wonderful, stunning, intelligent and RICH guy I've ever laid eyes on!!!" J. "A real Mr. Right, huh??" S. "Mr. Right ! He's Mr. Perfect!!- we're not only going out we're engaged!

I just got this xerzct7 4t !! sweater for Christmas- Well excuse me- I have to go find a pair of scissors-be right back!!" As Sylvia slithers off in search of scissors, in comes Horatio Fourpointo. Waiting for his thick horn-rimmed specs to de-fog from the cold, he joins Joe at the table. J."Hi Horatio,How are ya?" H.(after setting his bulging briefcase,stack of books, tablets and calculator down bn a vacant chair) "My physiological condition is good, mental, emotional and psychological states are excellent." l!l!lWIJ11 O.(occupant-in an irate tone) "Hey bookworm, look whaddya did!" H ."Now sir, I am truly sorry, but as we all know there is no use lamenting over dissapated lacteal fluid! Joseph, he looks agitated, so I had better go-Goodbye!" J.(shaking his head) "Bye Horatio." Sylvia now slides back to the talbe. J.(laughing) "Find your scissors?" S.(annoyed and embarassed) "Yes!" J. "Syl, what ever happened to the guy y9u were goin' with during finals week- ya know that dormie from Jersey?" S."Oh him! You mean Justin Time. He never comes back till the second week of school, he' 11 be here in time for the first tests. We can't stand each other." The door opens and looking rather disheveled and yawning sleepily is Norman D.O. Nothing. Norman has been at Wilkes for seven years 'now. ~t•s not that he is stupid, but when you only take five to seven credits a semester, it takes awhile! Seeing Joe and Sylvia, he sleepwalks over to the table, collapsing into the chair in a drowsy heap. DOWNTOWN, W.B. ' ,ill 113 S. MAIN ST. .' ROLL STARS / PIXS - TV STARS ETC. CUSTOM SERVICE.

J."Norm, you never got home for Christmas either???" N."No,I fell asleep and forgot to go home... zzz.zzz ... Then as Norman fell back into hibernation, the entire population of the Commons turned, for in walked-The Wilkes Wonder himself-Adonis A. Athelete. As Sylvia began to drool, Joe began to grimace, and everyone else began to choke. With his teeth shining, and wearing his sweater with over 100 stripes on each sleeve and more "W's" than can be believed, he decided to grace Joe and Sylvia with his presence. A.A.A "Hi fans, don't I look great, just had my teeth buffed, hair cut and supersuede jox shoes cleaned." Sylvia(with her eyes glowing, she hasn't blinked since Adonis walked in, gives him a 36 teeth grin- she has 36 teeth, her mouth is big enough for four extra molars)."H H Hi Adonis." J ."Hi Adonis." A.A.A. "Well, whafs new?" J."Nothing." S."Oh, I don't know? Suddenly. I just can't t hink." A.A.A. "Well excuse me, I think I'll go lean on the railing over there." (He jaunts on over to the railing, near the serving counter, the railing where · most of the members of the football team congregate during the day). . S.(not taking her eyes off of Adonis) "Gee, Joe I have to get going, Maybe I'll just go visit Adonis for awhile, maybe he and I can go to a party this weekend." J,"But Sylvia, I thought you were supposed to be engaged to that other guy?" S.' 1No that was last week, I'm not now, Bye!" J."Oh well, see ya, take it easy, I better get going too I have ten minutes to get to Parrish." He leaves and the table is deserted, except for Normanwho is still sleeping.

What takes place involves some average individuals (Roy Neary and Jillian Guiler) in some uncanny events which lead to communication with the aliens. Cable television and, on occasion, the afternoon t)ialing-for-Dollars movie prove this a":';ngement to be a. m~st popular one. But what "Close Encounters does not share with its predecessors is its "believeability." Flash Gordon embarked upon some fantas tic .journeys and Rod Serling narrated countless episodes of way-out space e!1tertainment, but thi_s ~ime the at~e!llpt seems less bizarre. The foreigners who stop _to visit are not_ vicious monsters in any way and appear most willing to communicate as well as cooperate. · Their method of transmission couldn't be any more amusing. A series of musical tones in special sequence comprises the alien "voice," and once in operation prompts Jillian to move with the beat of the "conversation" producing a somewhat comic, yet touching moment. . . . . . The movie is not without faults, yet its ments far outweigh its gaucheries and sli_p-ups. .~he two l;ldventun;rs' trek ~oward a mysterious mountain (Devil s Tower, in Wyoming) constitutes one rather weak episode. Wha ollows, however, inevitably swallows up the mistake. In effect, the undertakings of Roy Neary and his friend Jillian promote the movie's prime directive of friendship and intimate contacts. The long feared UFO phenomenon disappears as the two journey ever closer to their d,estination 1irected by a!1 uncanny psychic motif. Each spectators bravery is as astounding as the climactic arrival of the major space craft. Yet bravery and willingness are the key factors here. And what a_ wor~ of technology! No, not mechanical technology, but that which is abstract and imaginative. · "Close Encount~" prese!1ts perhaps ~ome of t~e movie industry' s most outstand111g special effects. It is truly this creativity woven within the "Close Encounters" plot which makes it incredible. "Close Encounters'' actually entices one to seek new horizons and likewise accept life not akin to our own. Bereft of any battle scenes, it not only advocates peaceful cooperation among men on earth but also extends welcome to other life forms. . The movie's title couldn't be more appropriate in describing the intimate association of imagination, body and soul when faced with the wild notion that we are indeed "not alone!" -- WHAT HAPPENED- THE TRAFFIC .~UST STOPPED ALL OF THE SUDDEN ? .

The Wilkes College basketball team wished it had been exiled to the Wilkes gym or some basketball camp in Moscow during the Santa ho-ho period. · • · The Colonels, as you might already know, did not play a game or practice for five weeks during the break. Anyone who knows anything about basketball, even Pliylus George ~can realize that its just impossible to survi\f\l a season with such a long mid-season layoff. But if there is a guy who can lead the Colonels to the promised land, and take control of the sunken ship and turn it into the Queen · Mary, it is Coach Rodger Bearde. . . . The Blue and Gold's last game before the break was Jan. 10 in a 63-53 road loss to Susquehanna. Bearde's boys returned to action . last Saturday, after THREE (Count em'), THREE days of practice, and came out ·rusty in a sloppy 52-49 heart-breaking loss to Moravian, which was led by former Wyoming Valley West star Rich Coslett's 12 points. . . · Bearde said the main problem he will have in the next few games and practices will be "getting the team back into a timing and · conditioned shape." He added that Wilkes must get its game back . because the Colonels are still in the Middle Atlantic Conference race, although they show a 0-2 conference slate. To make the playoffs, Wilkes has to be one of the top four teams in the eight-unit league. Scranton and Albright top the race, with everyone else bunch~ together in a. dog-fight for a playoff spot. Semor guard and resident "Rock and Roll" hater, Nick Holgash expresses his opinion that the layoff might help the Blue and Gold · in a weird way. " Without the break, we would be playing games right through the month without ZAP, (John Zapko~. Now, after . the_ b~k, ZAP is bac~, and we can play with him in the lineup, which is a great help, added the hustling guard.

Zapko had missed the first sev_en games this season du~ to a le~-injury suffered in a pre-season scnmmage. John, who admits to bei.ng only 75 per cent physically, but 150 per cent mentally, scored 20 points and had 11 rebounds in his 1978 debut against Moravian. Most of the Colonels agree, t hat this is the " Second Season" and their out to prove that Wilkes can play ball and their 1-6 record in 1977 was just a nightmare that has disolved. Let us not forget, the Blue and ~old wei:e narro~y defeated by the East's top Pi vision II entry, Philadelphia Textile, 66-64 at the Wilkes gym on a last second shot. Wilkes, no~ 1-7, met a tough Albright squad on the road on Wednesday and will follow with an away gam~ with Juniata on Saturday. After Juniata, the Colonels continue their road show with three MORE away games before returning home to host Albright which beat Scranton a week ago, on Jan. 30, exactly 55 days afte~ their previous home game.

Winter Festivities To Begin Tonight Once again it is time for "Winter Weekend" - That infallible cure for the mid-winter blahs which have reached epidemic proportions in our area. Festivities begin Friday evening with a Square Dance from 9 p.m. to 12.a.m. in the gym. The music will be provided by Red Jones. Based on grace, poise, movement and timing, the teams will be judged throughout the evening and the winning team will be awarded with a case of beer (the brand of beer has been skillfully chosen by Kim Dubosky and John Senatore- co-chairman of Winter Weekend). Saturday's activities will begin with the volleyball tournament which will take place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the gym. A grand prize of $50 will be awarded to the winning team of this event. Immediately following the volleyball tournament will be a Tug 0 War contest which will be held in the lot adjacent to the gym. The winning team (or the team with the most pull - depending on how one wishes to look at it) will be justly awarded with a case of beer (this is apparently a popular prize; the co-chairmen are probably •relying .on the amber fluid as a strong incentive to involve the Wilkes students with the Winter Weekend activities). The next event is the "Round Robin" which will be held at 2 p.m. at Kirby para. This menagerie of winter olympics closely parallels the makeup of the television game, show "Almost Anything Goes." The teams, whose members must consist of two males and two females, will compete in a series of events such as "Traying" and a five-legged race. Posters and further information will be available at Kirby Park on Saturday. The winning team will receive (you guessed it!) a case of beer. Note: To the rlismay of the co-chairman, and Ult: relief of an . anonymous pig, the "Pin The Pig" event scheduled for Saturday afternoon has been cancelled due to the uncoopErative attitude of the pig. Saturday evening there will be a wrestling meet in the gym starting at 8 p.m. This day marks John Reese's 25th anniversary as wrestlio.g coach. A Bavarian festival will be held in the Commons after .he wrestling meet. Plenty of good food will be available for a small admission fee . of 50 cents with a Student I.D. card ($1 for aliens). Ice skating from 10:30 a.m. col"tinued on p. 3 ' ! ~,~ !pil!!,~w~T of the Student Government Teacher Evaluation forms will be starting in the next couple weeks. The Evaluation forms, which were mailed to all students at the end of last semester, were designed to aid students in selecting courses at registration. Although the total number of responses has not been counted, Carl Holsberger, SG president, roughly estimated a 60-70 percent response from students who did receive the forms. Holsberger noted some students, specifically those students who live in off-campus apartments, did not receive their forms since SG only has their home addresses and not their local ones. He added that some dorm students never received their forms because of failing to pick up their mail. The Teacher Evaluation forms consisted of 26 questions pertaining to the teacher, the course, the textbook and laboratory, if applicable. Students were asked to answer these questions on a scale of 0-5 with O representing "not applicable" and 5 -- "very much so." There were also four overall questions, which students were asked to answer with "yes" or Hno." A sample of the questions include: "The instructor demonstrates a formal and up to date knowledge of the topic;" "The instructor has an interesting style of presentation;" "The instructor· presents an organized syllabus to the class stating course goals, NOfICE CARS P A RKED I LLEGA LLY IN WILKES L OfS WI LL BE T I C K E T ED B EG I NNIN G MON DAY. ~ ~ ~ ~ ! ~ !! . dq u ~ ~ ~ --lso ~ taking a " Exams are adequately spaced total average for all questions. : hroughout the semester" and Holsberger explained the "Assignments are related to the scores will be obtained using a goals of the course." computer program, w~ic}l is to be The overall questions were: written by Holsberger and Steve · " This course is among the best I Kirschner. · ·_ have taken at Wilkes;" "I The exact manner of publishing consider my instructor to be the results for each professor and among the top 10 percent at each course has not beeh decided Wilkes;" "I thought the material as yet. presented in this course was Holsberger COITI!Jlentecl that interesting" and "I have dropped the published results' would have this course." a separate listing ~~r each course Scores for each professor and taught by a specifJc pf()fessor. eac~ course will be obtained by The total average score for that takrng the average result for each continued on p. 2 Debate Union Breaks 20-year Win Record F~ ilie first time ~~et~ 1950s the College's all-time winning debate record has been soundly broken. This year's Debate Union broke the 20 year record of 30 victories for one academic year "in just one semester, as it rolled up 35 major victories . The old record fell this past week when the Union members traveled Lu Towson State University, Baltimore, Md., to compete in the 7th A nnual H .L. Memken Forensic con test. Neither six inch snow nor ice storms stopped the forensic team from getting to Baltimore and competing in this high-powered tournament. For two days Wilkes challenged the national fo r ensic leaders in stiff competition. When the final results were tabulated Wilkes was unquestionably the second place overall winner,finis hing behind nationally- ranked Ohio Unive-sity and well ahead of such schools as George SG Members Show Disapproval With New Academic Proposals Dave Evans, Student Government's academic committee chairman, reported at Monday night's SG meeting that several new proposals are going to be considered by the faculty acadm1ic standing committee. Most SG representatives were discontent with most of the proposals and are going to challenge them. One of the main arguments cited by the body against the proposals was stupidity. The first proposal mentioned by Evans was that Dr. Charles B. Reifs (Biology department) proposal to give the student a numerical number from O to 100 on his report card along with his regular grades is going before the committee again. Evans, however, mentioned that "it doesn't stand murh of a ehance.'-' Also being considered is that "no student may drop a course to audit it unless it is within the first week of the semester." Currently, students can drop to audit a course up to the tenth week. Withdrawal from classes after the tenth Weffi may become tougher if this next proposal is past. Students will have to seek permission from his or her advisor. instrU"tor and dean. It will also be evident on the transcript that the student withdrew after the tenth week with permission by the symbol WP. The length of withdrawing from courses is being considered. Under the prop~al a student may withdraw no later than the first seven weeks as compared -to the present 10 week deadline. Student Goverment wants to challenge this proposal on the grounds that it is simply to early for a student to decide whether to drop from a course or not. The · last proposal Evans mentioned was that the minimum G.P.A.'s for academic probation may be raised as follows: Freshmen: 1.4 to 1.8; Soph- omores: 1.7 to 1.9, J uniors: 1.8 to 2.0 and to grad uate: 1.85 to 2.0. M0st SG members feel the freshmen change is to big of a • jump and should be challenged. Evans noted that all these proposals came out of a subcommittee of the faculty academic committee and he feels that most of the proposals were drafted in response to the new grading policy which will intro. duce three new grades, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 into the present system. If the faculty academic committee approves of any of the proposals they still must go before the entire faculty for a final decision. In other business, a replacement has been appointed to fill the post vacated by sophmore Bill Keba. Diane Cimakosky was introduced to the boay and has served on SG in the past. Concerning the survey which SG is going to conduct on the Placement Office to seniors, it continued on p. 3 Washington University, James Madison, George Mason University, Shippensburg, and the host institution, Towson State. In addition to its fine second place overall honor, the Debate Union also picked up nine individual victories. Leading the unit toward its record-breaking performance were Captain David Evans am:l Marcia Stratton. Both these speakers had the unique honor of tying with one another as the fifth best overaff speaker (out of a field of 125 contestants) for the tournamen l Wilkes' awards were as follows: first place in Original Persuasive Discourse; secon d place in Impromptu-Exterporaneous Speaking; three third place finis hes in Informative Competition, Impromptu Salesmanship and in humorous After-Dinner Rhetoric; fourth in Salesmanship; and fifth in Radio Announcing. To top off all this, the group also qualified six more slots for competition in the National Championship Individual Events · Tournament to be held at Monmouth College in April. The Union now has 17 slots qualified and will have one of the larger delegations at the national event. With a full semester still ahead, this year's squad hupes to set a record that will stand for another 20 years. Other members who contributed to the recent win were Ann Sharkey, Davida Roberts and Theresa Mazich. The Wilkes Debate Union is coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Speech Division. 1 ()n The Cover Winter storms may be a nuisance when it comes to driving to school every day or trying to extract your car from a stubborn snow drift, but it also proves to be a particularly beautiful time of the year. Bob Gaetano obviously thought so, as he captured a piece of winter on film. This just proves that there's "snow" time like winter. (Sorrv ). �·' J ~ 4 • 1 • • - , PA(.;E ~.

Provides Academic Opportunities Act 101/Phoenix Progrant Now In Its Second Year The ACT 101 -- Operation Phoenix Program at Wilkes is in its second year of existence, but many do not know its functions. The goal of ,ACT 101 is to provide the opportunity for low-income and inadequately prepared students to obtain a college education. The students must show a motivation to succeed with the help of counseling, tutoring and financial assistance provided by the program. ACT 101 programs are available to male and female, . young and old, and in 53 institutions throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Students do not have to be right out of high school to be elig'ible, for example, some of the ACT 101 students are married housewives in their 30s. ACT 101 participants must be resident of Pennsylvania and must be admitted as full-time students to the postsecondary degreegranting institution. Wilkes ACT 101 is headed by Dr. George Siles and is located at Ross Hall, 251 South River s treet. To provide personal counseling in college life or social problems are Mary Poremha and Lynn Johnson. Tutors can provided for any ACT 101 students having problems in his selected courses. The coordinator of the math, science, and business areas is Dave Wasilewski. The coordinator of the social sciences and humanities is Mary Kane. Each ACT 101 student is assigned a personal advisor from the program's staff. Some of the students presently participating in the program have formed a council to meet once a month in order to communicate with the staff any developments of prob. lems that may arise. The ACT 101 student council welcomes other program students to join ~the group. In ·addition to the program during the academic year, a summer program is offered. The six-week program concentrates on academic improvements and a gerieral orientaion to college life. The Wilkes Phoenix program welcomes all interested persons to contact Ross Hall for more information. · IDC Office To. Be Open At Least 2 Hours Daily . I IDC president, Tom Bazzini, said that the IDC office in the lobby of PickEring Hall will be open at least two hours daily for students to come with any problems, complaints or suggestions. The hours when someone will be there will be posted on the door. Concerning parking stickers, students should be a ware that the fact that they had a sticker last semester does not insure them of getting one this semester. Anyone wishing to get a parking sticker should fill out an application and turn it in at the IDC office. Ten stickers will be held by IDC temporarily for those who have any problems with getting their applications in. It was announced that the Student Union Board wishes to take the change machine, which IDC is in charge of, from the lobby of Pickering Hall and move it to the SUB. IDC .voted unanimously to keep the machine where it is. Ba_zzini made the suggestion that more students attend the meetings of the food and maintenance committees as this will make it possible to get more done. The times and days which these meetings will be held for the semester have not yet been designated. At the next IDC meeting a new recording secretary will be elected. Also. from now on someone from ::>tudent Goverment an.d Commuter Council will attend IDC meetings. Joe V. Cribari I , Connie will also be trainer for the Women' s Valley ball Team. Kath-y, who serves as a Red Cross volunteer and as a member of a few Red Cross committees, also works in the College library. Although they were not originally suppose to be roommates, Connie and Ka thy decided it would be convenient if they shared a dorm · room . Connie noted that "it was msier to get along with someone you already knew." Plus, she added, it made sharing of personal belongings ali ttle easier. Connie and Kathy share an interest in medicine, which started their freshman year of high school. Both hope to attend med school either next year as part. of the Wilkes-Hahnemann program or after their graduation from Wilkes. The twins commented that they are often asked whether they are sisters. Both dislike being asked how it feels to be a twin. "I don't think there's another one of me. I can't stand to be thought of being the same person," noted Connie. Both explained they are very different from each other. But, added Kathy, "You can have alot of fun with it (being twins)." Freysinger Earns Ph. D. Janine Pokrinchak From Massachusetts U.

Market St, ~ Wilkes-Barre �PAGE 4, THE BEACON, JANUARY 27, 1978 I Cancellation Applauded We applaud the decision of college officials to cancel classes last Friday, when snowfall resulted in hazardous driving conditions in the area. We believe that such action was necessary in order to assure the safety of the hundreds of §tudents and faculty members who must drive along miles of treacherous roads to reach the campus. During weather conditions like those of last week, even a person who travels only a few miles to school is faced with a dangerous and un. necessary situation. Although Wilkes has had the reputation for remaining open during conditions which close other area institutions, it is a relief to see that the safety of the student and faculty body is of primary importance in the minds of college officials. . However, we must also remember that classes were held last Wednesday, also a day when driving conditions were hazardous , and when state officials advised against unnecessary travel. The day before, the presidents of Student Government, Commuter Council and Inter-Dormitory Council met with President Capin to request that he consider canceling both Tuesday's evening session and day classes on Wednesday. Although night classes' were called off, students found that they were expected to attend classes as usual on Wednesday . If the letters we received immediately afterwards are any indication, students were not pleased with the decision: to say the least. Road conditions that day were just as serious, if not more so, than they were two days later. Reportedly, Wilkes was the only area college to remain open throughout the d'ay. We do not know if student reaction to the college' s refusal to close the school last Wednesday affected the decision-making process that again went into operation on Friday, but we think that college officials could not help but take a second look at the situation when the area was again blanketed with snow. We realize that the decision to close the college is not one which should be made hastily or unnecessarily, but we are happy to see that it will be made when the safety of its students and faculty is at stake. Disg~untled Commuters ~peak Editor's Note: The following letters were received' after last , Wednesday's snow storm but before classes ffllre canceled last Friday. Also, a letter which was signed "Disgrunted Student" was received, but could not be published since it did not adher to our printed letter policy which requires that all letters be signed, whether or not the real name is to be withheld. To The Editor: I think it is in poor taste to have school on a day th~t will risk injury to students and faculty alike, a day which is declared an emergency by the state police. Let's have a little more consideration for the next storm. Thank you, Upset students To The Editor: I think some consideration should be shown to commuter students on days when most schools and colleges in a 3 county area are closed. Just because Wilkes-Barre streets are cleared with steam heat, that doesn't mean everyone travels on safe roads. I know I DON'T! Signed, Snowed In To The Editor:· People don' t learn from tragic mistakes. We feel badly for awhile, but then the hurt wears off and we go back to our old ways. In December, a . girl from M arywood College was decapitated going to school on hazardous roads on a day when college should have been cancelled because of the snowstorm. Last Wednesday we had another hazardous snowstorm. The memory of that poor girl still fresh in the minds of college administators, all but two colleges cancelled classes. Only time will tell if the memory of that girl will wear off. We won't have to worry about tJ:!at memory wearing off at Wilkes. The heartless b--t--ds at this school didn't even cancel with the memory fresh in their minds. What is it going to take before Wilkes. cancels? Probably nothing short of an administrator on this campus being decapitated. The judgment at this school is shameful and we would hate to have the conscience of the person who decides not to cancel.

Concert Chair,nan Defends College Concert Decisions In the December 9 issue of The Beacon, there appeared a letter from Frank Forte concerning possible concerts for the spring semester at Wilkes. In this letter Mr. Forte's point seems to be clouded by his pure ignorence of the subject of concerts here at Wilkes. He uses his dislike of the music of Sha Na Na, to which he is entitled, in an attempt to express an opinion about something he knows absolutely nothing about. The result is a masterpiece example of one person shooting off his mouth while not having a leg to stand on. I was able to find just one point the Mr. Forte was correct on, i.e. that Sha Na Na was being considered for a concert. His discription of the effects of Sha Na Na are totally prejudiced and narrow-minded. He neglects the central part 1950's music has played in such things as " American Graffitti", " Happy Days" and the groups' nationally syndicated television show. He fails to remember that no matter how he feels about Sha Na Na, there are poople who like the groups and that the group has something to offer. The situation with concerts is much more complex than Mr. Forte imagines or is able to comprehend. · The many various tastes on campus create quite a problem as far as satisfaction for the most people. Again, Mr. Forte offers his words of wisdom and a "helping hand" towards suggestions. If Mr. Forte is serious about such groups as FLEETWOOD MAC or James Taylor he should place his helping hand into his pocket and dig deep to cover $20-$35 ticket prices. His good taste here would break the wallet of every student on campus. His use of Livingston Taylor as an example does not hold up when checked into. He fails to mention that two shows were scheduled at his high school, one finally cancelled and the second was only half attended with tickets at $5.00 His sophistic~ted tas t e; _would bring I ., NO SMOKING-- - - - - - - - - - By Tex and Fritz Hi gang! It's us, or rathw, me . again, bringing you the scoops of the century. It seems that Fritz took off with a certain red-nosed reindeer last semester and hasn't come back to fulfill his duty to you scooping fans . I, Tex, would like to personally apolo~ for being so late in bringing you some scoops and also for Fritz's" inconsiderate action. I mean, the nerve!, to desert you scoopers out ·. there with all that poop to scoop! ' Well it's up to me! I know it's late, but I finally got the inside story on who got what for Christmas. Here's some of Santa's list: Nigel Gray receivoo a "30-year contract, with an option for 30 more, to become an apprentice for Lynnwood Studios. His job, not far from ours, mind you, is to catch all you Wilkes collegians in your most embarrassing moments, and to preserve them forever in celluloid literature. We scooped Nigel further, about this exciting moment in his life, and forced him to reveal that he plans to make a movie. Our guess is that the film's title will have to be "They Shoot Horses A--es', Don't They?" Those fun-loving boys at Dennison asked Santa for some nice, soft, warm, sensuous little creatures, to brighten up the dorm and keep the morale up. That's exactly what they, got - except now Fred and Lou are up to their ears in cheese bills. Gerald received his own light blue Cadillac, so he doesn't have to borrow Mrs . Liva's (and pretend it's his). New Men's Dorm now has their own resort on 3rd floor. Merry Christmas, 3rd floor? Hey!, How's t l.!_e water skiing?? Margie and Lorraine got new "red coo.ts" for Christmas. But you' ll see a lot of other people sporting identical coats in the Caf. Cosenza's got a new Lear jet for those fast deliveries. Freddie got a new recipe for "Wing-Ding-Chicken dogs." He feels the Caf isn't ready for it yet. (neither are we, Freddie). Hey, maybe Sophie would like the new recipe? Ellen Ferretti received a geomorphic, sedementary, metamorphic, clay, granite sculpted copy of Mt. Rushmore (scale size no less) for our very own W.C. Env. Sci. Club. Oh, won't Bruce and Brian be thrilled! Rumor has it they were hoping for their very own refilloo strip mine. -- Sorry, boys! M.C. asked Santa if he could install an ejector button that attaches to Joe's chair. She always said Joe was, "Lost in Space." "Well, Fritz, Ws about time you got back!" "Sorry, Tex, L chased that damn reindeer around the world trying to scoop out that ever popular mystery, "How does she keep her stockings up. " "Oh, Fritz, that poop was scooped already -- "'rhumbtacks, Fritz, Thumbtacks!" "Now, come on. we've got some heavy scooping:--to do." "OOOhh, Tex, have I got a scoop for you! En route back here, I stopped in Vermont to do a little skiing. Well, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but those silly Polar Bears swishing and swooshing down those Killington slopes (more like snow-plowing, but I'll give them some credit!). Well I thought to myself, what great poop to scoop; Tex will be so proud of me. "There they were -- MY PREY -- they innocently romped in the snow, while I was lurking under a nearby mogul, with my trusty pen and pad, not missing a scoop. --But wait! I sprang from under my mogul, SOMETHING WAS AMISS!! I checked my scoop radar, but no, the snow hadn't interfered with the waves ... Wow! I knew it a sheep in Polar Bear's clothing! No, not a sheep, a CROW! Yes, Tex, can you imagine. The Crow flew north to meet one of his Polar Bear buddies, that guy who was the star of the W.C. [oo~ball team. But that's what they say, :,vhatl think the real scoop 1s, 1s that Burroughs must have sent hrm on a secret mission to check out the new computerized ski lifts. You know, the ones with ~he built in seat warmers. Scoop has it they're the " hottest" things m Vermont. -{Yuk, Yuk, Yuk). · Hey, great scoop. Fritz, you deserve your own column in The Beacon. Now I have one for you. While you were scooping the Crow in Vermont, SHAIJ,OW LARYNX got a request froma devoted reader (and you know we always accommodate our readers). S.L. was on a personal mission for our reader (whose name will never be revealed!!). He suggested we.scoop out all the super achievements, both academic arid athletic in the college career of a certain colleague -- the colleague, none other than our own, William "C" Manley, III, (the "C" stands for Crazy with a capital C). Well Shallow Larynx was not on the trail, and this is what he scooped: non-attended concerts to Wilkes. In conclusion, I remind Mr. Forte of the situation that exists in this area. We must use our 2300 seat gym to compete against 4300 at King's an_d Scranton. We compete in two entirely differept price ranges. The extra 2000 seats creates quite a large market to choose . from and We must settle for groups that an breaking into the charts. History shows that the Eagles, Dave. Mason, and Chuck Mangione have stopped here on the road to • success, and thwe is no reason to believe that it may not continue this way. Maybe Mr. Forte's eyes have been opened to a degree now, and I hope he uses his better judgment before writing any more nonsense. · Sincerely Gregory Black Concert Chairman Well, fans, we do commend S.L. on his great effort, but how can you scoop a waterlogged poop? Tex did manage to salvage one small scoop though, Thanks to the superb ref. job by Crazy, the Ice · Hockey team is now sporting a record of 3 for 6. Crazy, take our advice -- hang up your skates. • Well, fans, we bid you a fond adieu! See you next week. Keep those requests and letters coming. "Scoop it for the Gipper!" G.W.S. Tex and Fritz P.S.

Koester, promises to be most effective in bridging the gap between students' campus studies and actual work experience. - Pam Long The program operates by .employing students in off-campus occupations for designated time periods as part of their education. Work assignments are related specifically to their college major and individual interests. "Telefon" -'Got A Dime? Brons?n,. the man with t1,e crude, somewhat violent mystique, is ~ack. This Image, however, seems to be the only real "backbone" to Telefon." The ~tory of a Russian officer trying to uphold his country's reputation and rescue the U.S. from a fiendish attack by one "Dalchimsky" a somewhat misguided maniac, comprises the plot. This madman reactivates a previous Russian scheme whereby agents bedded deep within American society respond, due to the effects of drug-induced hypnosis, to carry out destructive, suicide missions. Dalchimsky has confiscated the key phrase (a line from Robert Frost) which triggers their reaction. Bronson's job is obvious; stop Dalchimsky. Koester stated that the . program offers limitless advantages as students have much to gain by involvement in the practical applications of textbook study prior to graduation. Participation in the Wilkes Cooperative Education program provides benificial work experience through employment in full time positions for full semesters. The students are given the opportunity to view their careers from a useful and more practical angle. The textbook comes to.life as learned concepts are put into action. The program also serves to facilitate each student's career choice for the future. They receive regular pay for the work they do, enabling them to earn the necessary financial assistance important to making possible their education. What the participants actually gain is a most objective outlook on their chosen career. The new program, which began Sept. 1,1977, serves as a replacement for the Community Service program. The former program was designed to allow ·students to gain <tcademic Education program, is effectively initiating a ':ery beneficial service to the Wilkes community. Students interested in the program may contact the Cooperative Education office in the Personnel building behind Guidance and Placement on River St. credit for services rendered in public and private service agencies. Koester noted that there are some distinct differences between the two programs. One difference -lies in federal funding, which has contributed in making cooperative education a rapidly growing institution within the past 12 years. During this time the number of colleges and universities offering cooperative education programs has increased from 70 to over 600. Need For Tutors Arises Tutors are urgently needed for the YM-YWCA program. Mrs. Hannah Janjigian is the co-ordinator for the program. Any Wilkes students, regardless of major or class year, who would be interested in tutoring an adult or a child in such subjects as reading, math, science or spelling or others should call Mrs. Janjigian at 823-0181. The program involves placing students in industry and regular companies rather than non-profit organizations. The agencies fo the cooperative education program pay the students, which is another distinct difference in the two programs. Although currently limi~ed to certain majors, Koester feels that the cooperative education will be available to all interested students at Wilkes in the near future. Pam Long Notice clubs, organizations or students or faculty members who wish to place notices in the Wilkes.College newsletter, should have all items must be submitted a week in advance. Any disappointment with this film might stem from an expectation of the spectacular originated by the flood of current sci-fi movies. However, these forerunners are not totally responsible as this movie generates no aura of its own. It is "explosive" only because every other town in the U.S. is blown sky high, and "striking" only in reference to several gory murder scenes. Its success rests heavil)'. upon one component, Bronson. Lee Remick portrays a witty American conn,,,.t.ion who ac"ompanits the star. Except for a very few pioneer expeditions, the bold blond is mere putty. Bronson controls her strings throughout the movie which leads to the exciting conclusion; bliss in the Happy Hour Motel, and you figure out the rest. The movie does give semi-reasonable, although bizarre, example of what might happen should things get into the wrong hands. Its "Mission_ : Impossible" -like arrangement redeems it somewhat, rendering it acc_eptable. "Telefon" indeed appears to be television-oriented and m~re properly geared for World Premiere Night on. C~S than for _its elevated position. The powerful Bronson profile 1s lik~ly to persist, however, giving rise to several more of these sagas m the future. Observant Sophomore In Programs Spots T.V. 'Blooper' One hour of tutoring per week can help an adult or child to achieve a better understanding of the subject.

The victory raised the Blue and Gold's season mark to 6-4-1 and set them in a good spot to challenge for top Eastern grappling honors. The victory over Montclair State broke the Indians five-match wj.nning skein. Photo by Bob Gaetano Colonel Matmen Rolling Along With -Gregrow Back In Lineup The machinery is starting to roll! The Big Blue and Gold wrestling machine is getting untracked and woe to those who dare to challenge. After a very tough early season schedule, the Colonels are hoping to tee off on some of the weaker teams that they will be facing as they head into the middle of the season. ~ The Wilk es men boosted their record to 6--4-1 this week with convincing victories over Delaware Valley and Montclair State. The· double dual that was scheduled for last Saturday night was cancelled due to the inclement weather. The matches with Oswego and Massachusetts Maratime will not be rescheduled. Last Wednesday, the Colonels travelled to Doylestown to take on MAC powerhouse Delaware Valley and the Aggies found out first hand why the Colonels moved out of the Division III wrestling conference. Before moving up in the NCAA standings, the Colonels copped 14 MAC champion, ships during their 19 year hitch. The Wilkes dominance was very evident as they crushed the MAC favorites, 42-0. Although the Aggies didn't score any team points, the match wasn't exactly a cake-walk for the Colonels. The meet had it's share of close· m~tches. Both Ed Johnson and Greg MacLean won, but only by skintight 2 point decisions. Casper Tortella continued his winning ways with an exciting win over John Campbell at 142. Tortella saw his 3-1 lead vanish in the final pa-iod, but with 20 seconds remaining, he escaped and won the match with a riding time point, 5-4. The highlight of the evening occurred when Perry Lichtinger clamped Mike Danis with only a single second remaining in the match. Lichtinger was trailing 3-1 before his last second heroics. Bryan Billig, Gene Clemons, and Danny House scored impressive major decisions while Alex Grohol decisioned previously undefeated Aggie captain Art Shull, 13-6. Mark Dens berger joined Lichtinger in the pin club when he showed Ken Espenshade the lights in 5: 38. At 190, Doug Drescher gained six team points on a forfeit victory. Shown in the form that all dedicated Wilkes wrestling fans have grown accustomed to is senior Dave 'Gregrow, as he returned to action Tuesday nii.rht in Wilkes' 36-8 win over the Indians of Montclair State at the Wilkes gym. Gregrow recorded one of the three Reesemen's pins as he showed Montclair's Gene Emering the lights in 3:13. Gregrow's dramatic victory caused an uproar among the crowd as he was rewarded with a standing ovation. Gregrow was allowed to wrestle after the rules committee met in Atlanta last week and voted in favor of a new rule for Division I schools, allowing an athlete to play four years, even after he sat out his freshman season, which Gregrow did. Photo by Bob Gaetano Last week we told you Rodger Bearde was the man who could turn the Colonel cagers from tug-boat to Queen Mary. . Like Noah hurrying with his ark, Bearde started _construcb~n immediately as the Blue and Gold up~et powerful ~bright, 75-68, m overtime at the Lions homecourt. Five days earlier, Albright had beaten the number one ranked Division III team in the nation, Sc_ra.nton University, 65-56 at the Albright gym. . . Skipper, er, Coach Beai:-de was simply elated over the big wm. "We put it all together. Everything blended in well. When one guy got cold, somebody else picked up the slack," added the Colonel mentor. Leading the way for Wilkes in the victory was junior John Zapko, who played in only his second game of the year._ The 6-6 _forwarp. scored 26 points, with 18 coming in the second penod as Wilkes. cut off a ten-point halftime deficit. Zap, who shot 12 of 21 from the field, fouled out of the game with 2:19 left in OT, after Wilkes had taken the lead for good. . . Freshman Mike McCarrie, from Father Judge High School m Philadelphia had 13 points to help the Colonel cause. Coming off the bench to combine for 28 points were senior Terry Schoen, 16, and sophomore Artie Magh, 12 points. . At intermission, Bearde used coaching strategy like he was John Wooden. He switched the Blue and Gold defense from a zone to man-to-man and the move paid off as Wilkes cut down the lead and Meigh's 20-footer at 2: 10 left in regulation gave Wilkes a 59-58 advantage. . . Albright cam back and took the lead until with 0: 06 on the clock, Meigh scored on a pass from Hughes to tie it at 62-62 and send the already barn-bunrer into OT. Wilkes hit' nine foul shots in the final two minutes of OT to save the win and give the Blue and Gold their second win of the season and first in the MAC. It was the Colonels finest offensive showing of the year, hitting on 31 of 57 from the field and scoring a season high 75 points. On Tuesday evening, the Colonels won their second game in a row with a 77-75 road victory over Philadelphia Textile in the Quaker City. Zapko again was high scorer with 26 points, and added four blocked shots. Freshman · Mike McCarrie had 18 points, and senior guard Nick Holgash chipped in with 12. Wilkes was down by 13 points , 43-30 at half-time. But the Blue and Gold scored the first six points of the second haf to switch the momentum. A thrre-point play by Zapko at 10:55 pulled Wilkes wihtin one at 56-55. McCarrie hit from outside at 8:30 to put Wilkes on top, 61-60. The Colonels held on and took a 77-75 victory home with them, to raise their season slate to 3-7. Last Saturday' s game with Juniata was called off due to inclement weather, and a make-up date for the MAC game has not been set. Tonight Wilkes again meets a MAC counterpart, when the Beardemen travel to meet Lycoming. Tomorrow evening, they continue their road show with an away MAC tilt with Delaware Valley. The Blue and Gold will be home for the first time in 55 days when they host Albright on Jan. 30 and Susquehanna on Feb. 1. TIP-INS: Nine game stats show Jono Zapko leading all scorers with a 23.0 average. Baird, 10. 7, and McCarrie, 10.0, follow .....Baird tops the team in rebounds, while Hughes leads in assists, and Holgash is first in steals ..... McCarrie, 22 of 24, and Holgash, 8 of 8, are the leading free-throw shootErS ...... Wilkes, now 1-2 in the MAC, is definitely in the running for a playoff berth. Zapko, 26.0, and McCarrie, 12.0, lead Wilkes in MAC shooting stats ..... Joe Gries, WBRE radio sports director, and one of the best play-by-play sports announcers in Northeastern Pennsylvania, has announced that his · station will carry three Wilkes cage games this season. WBRE will broadcast the Albright game on Jan. 30 at home, Scranton on Feb. 8 away, and Bloomsburg on Feb. 20 home. Gries, as almost everyone knows is also the voice of the Wilkes College football team. Eddie White The big news of the week broke on Friday. It is news that just might enable the Colonels to capture the EIWA crown. Dave Gregrow, one of the Colonel quad-captains of a year ago, was placed back on the varsity team and was declared eligible for the remainder of this season. At a recent meeting of the NCAA Division I rules committee, a decision was handed down concerning the eligibility of Division I athletes. The adjusted ruling indicates that an athlete may compete in an event for four years, regardless of whether he performed in his freshman Y,ear. The previous rule that covered this situation stated that the athlete was only allowed to compete for three years beyond their fres_hman year. Gregrow sat out his entire freshman ymr due to a stint at a military prep school, so he is back in uniform for the Colonels. Reese stated that the Colonels chances of winning the East~n tournament "will be greater with Gregrow in the lineup." The 190 slot has been a sore spot this year due to Rick Smith's injuries a,nd Doug Drescher's inexperience. Gregrow celebrated his return triumphantly on Tuesday night as he helped lead the Colonels to a 36-8 victory over Montclair State. The win for the Colonels snapped a Montclair five-meet winning streak. Danny House and Gregrow scored back-to-back pins to nail the coffin shut on the Montclair team. Bryan Billig also registered a fall in 6:37. Ed Johnson, Casper Tortella, and Greg MacLean scored three point decisions while Gene Clemons had a major decision and Mark Densberger a superior. The two Colonel losses were incurred by Perry Lichtinger and Pat O'Callaghan. Lichtinger lost a hotly contested 8-7 decision to Rodger Bogsted while O'Callaghan drew the unenviable chore of doing battle with Montclair's national freestyle champion, Ken Mallory. The freshman Colonel was shown a lesson or two in takedowns as Mallory registered 13 two-pointers en route to the 34-13 win. The Reesemen travelled to Elizabethtown on Wednesday and they return home for the "Silver Anniversary" meet with Lycoming tomorrow night .They close out the week when they journey to Binghamton on Wednesday.

Could there be two women's basketball teams at Wilkes? Anyone who saw Monday night' s game with Keystone might think so, for the team that played the first half scored only 28 points and was losing by 17 after the first 20 minutes. However, the team that took the floor for the latter half of the game scored an amazing 61 points and wound up winnillg 89-71. Naturally, it's t his " second" team that Coach Sandy Bloomberg hopes she'll see more of. The first half against Keystone in the opponent's tiny gym can only be described as dismal. Wilkes just couldn't seem to get anything going, while Keystone was having a terrific time. Turnovers, poor shooting and very few rebounds plagued the Colonelettes, who found themselves trailing 45-28 at the half. But then it was comeback time, as a newly-inspired Wilkes team came on to tum the game completely around. Keystone couldn't believe thar eyes, as the Wilkes press, fast break and rebounding suddenly began to work, and the Colonelettes steadily chipped away at Keystone' s lead. When the dust cleared, Diane Kendig emerged with 29 points (23 coming in the second half); Gloria Pasternick, who came off the bench to start the second half, ended up with 18; and co-captain Anita Meehan, perhaps her best game this season, finished with 13. Lynn Yedlock led the rebounding attack in the second half, while Mary Jo Frail, Sue Freda, Karen Olney, Debbie Yedlock · and Mary Lou Lenns also were instrumental in the win, along with Doreen Swiatek (who wins the award for having the most vocal fan club). One particular bright spot was the success of the Wilkes full court press, which the cagers have been working on for the past few weeks. This play gave the Colonelettes numerous interceptions, while it foreed Keystone into making some fatal eITors. The Blue and Gold, now 2-4, traveled to Albright last night, where hopefully, they extended the win reccrd.

Lisman appointed Atty. R. McFadden to represent the council in a preliminary meeting which was followed by the mooting with the Parking Authority. The council's plan was to give each student a sticker allowing him parking privileges, but this idea was turned down in favor of the coupon booklet approach. The council also hoped to keep the former . system of the 12 dollar monthly parking sticker · in addition to the new policy, but that also was rejected. DeRobertis noted that one of the reasons the new policy was approved was that the Parking Authority was very pleased with the cooperation given by Wilkes iitudents to the many people who had trouble during the recent snow emergencies.

Vincent Price �I ' PAGE 2, TlIE BEACON, FEBRUARY 3, 1978 Winter Weekend Had Its Ups And Downs ... "Isn't life just one struggle... .----------Review _________, 'Incident At Vichy' Was Fine Performance Gunshot. And then a meaningful silence suspended like the Nazi flags costuming the SUB during last week's performances of "Incident at Vichy." Sensitively directed by Leo Gambacorta, the meaningfulness of Arthur Miller's play was captured and executed not only through the actors' lines, but through the language of their bodies, and through sile~ces as emblematic of Nazism as the Swatl{a. The cool businessman's impatient thumb rubbing against his fingers; the groping, fumbling hands of the painter ; the trembling of the meticulous fingers of Monceau; the . cautiously nervous hands of the doctor and the electrician; the Prince's empathetic hands twisting his rings about his fingers; and the old Chassidic Jew 's patient hands grasping God in his tallith. On stage, hands spoke the tension underlying each line of the play. In the audience, hands responded to a feeling broken only by applause. Asthetic distance was purposefully comprised by this feeling for the Jew, or for any victim unable to believe, yet afraid not to believe, that he is the victim. Separated only by a few feet and a degree of light, the audience and the actors waited together for a fate always known, but still questioned. Qµestion, fear, doubt, resistance, passivity-all were characterized spontaneously in the hands, voices and physiognomies of the players. Ro~rt S. Fabbrini his countenance qwvuniform and the soul of a man, emotionally portrayed a major who was wounded physically and mentally, but was anesthetized by the bottle. Monceau's articulate assuredness THE-HUT at Hotel Sterling Specializing In: Hoagies And All Kinds Of Sandwiches was passionately denied in the expressive eyes of John Forte. Randy Smith the doctor, roused a spirit unwilling to be the roach "stepped on in the dark. " As Lebeau, Richard Cutler's body trembled with utterances of frustration. Effective. Powerful. Moving. All individual performances were directed by precise, unawavering charac. terizations. Cue 'N' Curtain's presentation of "Incident at Vichy" lived the meaning of fine performance. Lynn Sare Happiness, like swimming, is a learning process. This year's Winter Weekend can only be described as having its ups and downs. Some of the · activities went over nicely while others didn't even get off the ground. It was for t hose people who participated, however, that enjoyed themselves. The Square dance on Friday night started the weekend off with a real bang. About 200 students attended, participated, and enjoyed the music _of Red Jones. This band is even being considered by Commuter Council for their Clam Bake in the spring. On Saturday, the volleyball tournament received a greater turnout over last year's and was very organized. The one problem which kept many teams idle for some long periods of time was t hat there was only two nets set up versus the three nets utilized last year. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, even the little wrestling runts who ran circles around the tournament. The winning team was the Legatto II who received the grand prize of $50. · The Tug of War contest was also successful and' the winning team which walked away with a case of beer was the powerful team from the Hotel Sterling. · The Commuter Council team won the Round Robin activity by just showing up. CC members were very proud of themselves and boasting "we had the best time ." This obstacle course event could have received more involvement if it was held on the river comons or in the lot next to · the gym instead of Ralst,on field. The Bavarian Festival that night was poorly attended with about 110 people who were in and out throughout the whole night. It seems that most people did not realize what type of party it was and what kind of food it had to offer. It was reported that there was a lot of good food left over. On Sunday, the remaining Winter Weekend spirit seem to fizzle out as the Bingo in the cafeteria and the Perry Leopold concert were also poorly attended. The ice skating that night, however, ended t he weekend on a good note as over 200 people took to the ice. Kim Dubosky and John Senatore, Winter Weekend chairman, deserve mention of their many hours of work, time and effort into the annual affair. With the exception of Round Robin, all the activities were well organized and ran smoothly. It was only up to the student to take advantage of them. Jim Edwards ...after another'! .. "Let's hump!".

In related business, Diane Marcinko, CC treasurer, wa nted to clarify a poiI).t that has seem to confuse some parents and students. Students who purchase Park & Lock mont hly stickers for February, which .will be t he last mont h to do so (See related story), can not, repeat, can not park t heir cars in the Boston Store or Lazarus parking lots free Plans for the three bus trips sponsored by Commuter Council were finalized at the meeting Monday afternoon. Tickets have been ordered and bus reservations have been made to see a 76er's basketball game, a New York Yankees baseball game, and a weekend fling in New York City. T he fi rst t rip has been scheduled for S unday, where t he 76er' s will play against the Seattle Super Sonics. A bus ·will leave Wilkes-Barre at 10 a.m. for t he 2 p.m. game. Tickets for the trip have been on sale in t he Commons and Cafeteria all t his week and price per person is $14. The bus is limited to 42. Cue 'N' Curtain is co-sponsoring the weekend trip to New York with t he council. John Griff th, a member of both organizations, announced that tickets for the trip go on sale Monday in t he Commons from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The weekend is Feb. 24, 25, and 26 and reservations have been made at the Abbey Victoria Hotel which is located wery close to the theater district in the city. Tfte cost per person is $34 which includes room, bus fare, and tips. This trip is only limited to 42 people too. Tickets have been ordered for the New York Yankees game on April 15 against the Chicago White Sox, t he second home game of t he season for t he Yankees. Tickets for this bus trip will be available in the nearfuture and Louie DeRobertis, CC president, indicated that more than one bus may be planned allowing more students to go. "I've already been told that one whole dorm wants to go down." said DeRobertis. For further information on any of t hese trips, students should contact any Commuter Council member. Under other council matters, it was brought to the council's attention that parking over at the Temple lot has become a real problem. Because of the snow, the regular 40 space lot now has only room for 30 cars. DeRobertis also mentioned that just because a student received a parking of charge. Park & Lock stickers are only good at Park & Lock South located across from the old Gj ant Supermarket. Under old business, DeRobertis wanted to blast the Housing · Office for allowing Bedford Hall to have a party the same night of t he Bavarian Festival in the Commons ·during Winter Weekend. Bedford Hall's party hurt the . attendance at the festival which resulted as eing unsuccessful. ';I'his is t he second time t he H ousing Office has given a dorm permission for a party which would compete against a Student Goverment activity. Jim Edwards It, was decided at the InterDormitory Council meeting on Sunday night that Commuter Council · President, Louie DeRobertis, should be a voting member of IDC from now on. The reason for this is that IDC President Tom Bazzini, is a voting mem ber of Commuter Council. Bazzini discussed the situation of student-advisor relationships. Since t he majority present at the meeting agreed that the advisor situation could be improved in certain respects, there was a consensus t hat somet hing should be done to find out the common problems. . Concerning the St. Valentine's Day party, it was announced that t he SUB wi_ll be used.

"DRinking," however, is up to the horse. My thanks is felt in your learning, your growth, and your truly courageous confrontation with time and effort.

Tex and Fritz Forte Answers Black On Concert Issue To The Editor: Dearest Gregory, You have accused me of being "a masterpiece example of one shooting off his mouth while not having a leg to stand on," when in fact you have depicted yourself. Do you know why you don't have a leg to stand on?; it's because your feet are in your mouth. You said my description of Sha Na Na was "totally prejudiced and narrow-minded", allow me to quote Mr. Randy Smith, a noted entertainer and graduate of Wilkes College, who attended the first Sha Na Na concert at Wilkes, "The best part of the Sha Na Na concert was David Fryes warm-up". Mr. Smith also told me how Mr. Bowser, a member of Sha Na Na, repeatedly spit on the audience during the concert Gregory, if tliis is your idea of entertainment, your sick! · You also accused me of not · being able to comprehend the complexities of the concert world; let's see how much water this fallacy can hold. For what the prom·oters refer to as "college concert price" I can obtain various well reputed jazzy bands, Bruce Springsteen, and others, not to mention greatly talented local bands like "Ralph". Let me now clarify two points from my Dec. 9th ·article, which you excessively misconstrued; by offering Fleetwood Mac and the Taylor Brothers as possibilities I did not mean an evening of gQ.od music, not a hybrid of punk-rock and bubblegum. Also, the first Livingston Taylor concert was cancelled due to contract disbutes, not bad sales as you have led the readers to believe; the Sh'ow·•._ .·..B. u_. ps ,.et . .·· Is 'No p · r'ob' Says 'Landslide' Coverage Criticized ·As 'Wrestling Annual' I �FEBRUARY 3, 1978, THE BEACON, PAGE 5 StfJdet1ts Gain Experience Serving A·s Co'c:,rdinators · Dtiring the fo ur years ~hich · ~om prise _th~ ~sual co llege experience, an md1v1dual must learn all that he or she can from books and -:lasses. .

Shake, a fumbled role by Kristofferson, resolves to convert Barbara Jane to the mystical, unexplainable BEAT prior to their marriage. What follows is a 48-hour seminar in which B.J. (Barbara .. Jane) takes. part, only to find that Billy Clyde has done the same. These two just can' t Seem t o penetrate BEAT and so decide to punt. OJ' Shake senses that .Barbara Jane hasn't got "IT" and their marriage ends up a stalemate with a disaster-at-the-altar scene included. Obviously Billy Clyde, who also has a bad case of ''Barbara Jane," should have been the groom. Contrary to Kristofferson, who plays a droll role as though it must be droll, is the Mean Machine, reincarnated Billy Clyde Puckett. This time Burt Reynolds , instead of being mean on the field, is mean in the bedroom, get the drift? As usual, Billy Clyde will do anything for a one-nighter resulting in his seduction of a really "big" woman under the pretense that big women have " big feelings.' ' The scene is immediately .harsh as well as cruel. Kristof!erson pulls offsides with his announcement to Reynolds of his intentions to marry B.J. The incident takes place in a john where Billy Clyde has retired to compose his novel about the team. This s~ene is also one which enables Reynolds to walk away with the 1 10vie and proves his talent as a successful comedian. Barbara Jane, who comes on as a rough-ta lking, profane playgirl, doesn't seem to have " IT" in more ways than one. Not a real woman at all, B.J. seems rather a little toss-about, inept in the role she attempts to portray. Robert Preston, . her big-talking, rich daddy, finds it peculiar that his daughter lives with two football players but doesn't sleep with them, "it ain't natural" he concludes. Preston might have done better as the perpetrator of BEAT as he delivers sermons rather than dialogue. His daughter might perhaps have made it big as a showy Dallas cheerleader rather than as the male-controlling dictator she apparently is not. The Miami team inevitably wins the Super Bowl as they've got Billy Clyde and Shake on their side, naturally. Besides the team, the real winner in the movie is Reynolds. -He seems the only one with any genuine ability is his type-ca.s t role, and the true hero, of a movie which might continue to lose yardage as a real success. 0 NOTICE Cue 'n' Curtain is sponsoring a pizza sale today in the SUB .from · 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to l a.m. Deliveries will be made.

That was the story when the Phillies Caravan visited the college campus on Wednesday morning. The Annual Phillies W'tnter press caravan put on a showing at the CPA for the benefit of the students and faculty of Wilkes as well as the general public. The stop was sponsored by the Wilkes baseball team under the direction of coach Gene Domzalski. One dollar was charged by the club with the funds going into the Wilkes Baseball Fund. They will probably be used toward financing the Southern Swing. " That trip down South every year is really important to our club," stated Domzalski. "This, coupled with the profits from t he parking lots and the raffle tickets will just about cover our expenses." The gath!)ring had a press conference format at t he beginning with Wilkes students serving on t he panel. Doreen Swiatek (who looks a lot better in Larry Christiansen's jersey t han he doesl. Bill Hocken bury, Eddie White, and myself were t he members of t he questioning panel. Topics such as: women in t he lockerroom; P hillies trade rumors; what players do in the clubhouse during a rain delay; and the effect of Polish meat on power hitting were among the many discussed. Phillies players Greg Luzinski, Bob Boone, and Tim McCarver as well as Manager Danny Ozark, General Manager Paul Owens, Bill Giles, and Phillies Announcer Harry Kalas were in attendance. After the press conference, the film titled "Unfinished Business" was shown. It depicted the Phillies 1977 season as well as their committment to the future of the club. After the program, several of the personalities were available in the lobby for an autograph session.

The see-saw battle saw Wilkes take a 46-38 half-time lead, only to be outscored 56-40 in the second period. , The game started badly for the Colonelettes, as Del Val took the tapoff, scored, recovered a Wi'. kes turnover and scored again, leaving the Blue and Gold down by four before they even attempted to shoot. The cagers battled back, however, and the action took on a fast pace that was to characterize the whole game. Obviously not a defensive battle, both teams scored almost at will, but Wilkes' t urnovers hurt the Colonelettes, especially in t he first half. Excellent defensive plays were often for nought, as the cagers gave up the ball before scoring, due to bad passes and violations. The full-court press, which in the past has proved to be an effective weapon for Wilkes, stopped Del Val only for a short time. Before long the Colonelettes failed t o execute the play well, and Del Val found out how to break j t after their initial surprise wore off. It was then relatively easy for them to score against an unprepared, short-handed defense. Wilkes and:Del Val continued to exchange baskets and the -lead during the first period, until the Coloneletts' pulled out in front by 12. Del Val had time for only _a short comeback before the half ended with Wilkes ahead by eight. The second half seemed a repeat of the first and the Colonelettes held on to their lead for about half of the period. However, mistakes again plagued the team. Turnovers continued to hurt the offense, and fouls soon became critical. Wilkes fouled out one player, and three others finished with four, but the real damage came a t the Del Val foul line. Blessed with a bonus situa tion early in the half, the opposition sent t heir best shooter consistently to t he line. Wilkes' 29 fouls gave Del Va. 36 shots, and they capitalized on 22 of them, 16 at critical moments in the second half Del Val tied the game ·and then proceeded to slowly but surely build their own lead. Wilkes' comeback efforts were again hampered by fouls and turnovers, and the cagers watched their eight point half-time lead turn into an eight point win for Del Val. Three \Yilkes cag~rs hit double figures in the losing effort. Diane Kendig, now averaging 22.4 points per game, scored 26, while Mary Jo Frail bit her season high with 20 and Gloria Pasternick added 16. The Colonelettes, now 2-6, played Susquehanna at home Wednesday , their first home game in 53 days. Results were not availabltl at press time. Wilkes takes on Muhlenberg tonight at Muhlenberg, and will play Lycoming tomorrow at 6 p.m. at home. · . RIM SHOTS -- While only three players hit double numbers during the Del Val game, everyone "shot" double figures on the way home ... coin collecting will soon be a favorite hobby with team members, but the collection will be limited to quarters ... Karen Olney and Mary Jo Frail will be out to defend their tag team air hockey title when the team travels to Delaware Valley for the MAC tournament ... Lynn Yedlock, who sprained an ankle doing what she called a " Dr. J rebound," will soon be back in the lineup ... the Colonelettes are averaging 67. 75 points per game, but the opposition is averaging 79.25. However, the first four games of the "second season," all away games, have seen the Blue and Gold averaging 75.5 ... maybe the plays should have names rather than numbers because when you have people who say, "69 or 96, it's all the same," you could have problems ... how about having plays like, "low spade, high diamond and all sixes?" ... at least the girls have their hearts in the right places -- they all wanted to "give Diane Kendig a hand" ... Nancy Johnson, Mary Jo Frail and Karen Olney are all in the running for the "Beat the Bench" best-dressed award, although Karen's claiming she'& ahead by a.sti~kpin and a handkerchief ... and finally, Karen Smith asked to be mentioned. Wilma Hurst Two Out ·O f Three ·Ain't Bad Last Wednesday, the Wilkes College Swimming Team defeated Lycoming, 56-47. The 400 free relay was almost a breeze for the Wilkes unit as they picked up another first place to put in their hat. This unit consists of Tony Pinto, Jim Edwards, Jeff Jones, and Kevin Augustine. One person in the MAC who strikes fear in the hearts of her opponents is Cindy Glawe. Cindy is an MAC diving champ and if all goes well, she may well take honors again this season. · 1twas an excellent all out effort for the Wilkes team and coach Ken Turley must be happy for this first victory of the season in the MAC. . .Wilkes tallied three first places, eight second places, and six third places against Lycoming. In the tri-meet on Saturday, Wilkes hosted Western Maryland and Jersey City at the King's College pool. Western Maryland won the meet with a total of 87 points. Wilkes finished second with 72 and Jersey City limped in with a total of only 12 team points. If Wilkes' Rollie Schmidt and Chip Eaton feel they have trouble winning at the beginning of the season, they should pray that they never have Jersey City's coach Ed Delbert's luck. Coach Delbert stated while his team was getting skunked, " This season I thought we would have a fair to good team with the talent that we had availible t o us. But so far. I have lost a diving coach because · of a salary dispute, two divers because of the diving coach leaving, and two excellent swimers because of ineligibility; one had academic problems and the other didn' t turn in a football jersey. Can you believe That?" Before the meet J ersey City was 0-9, and Western Maryland 2-4. Both of these teams have their own facilities. In this meet, Wilkes took command in the 400 IM right from the start as they defeated two Western Maryland teams. Jersey City had no entry in this event nor in many of the others to follow because they only had three swimmers on the entire team. John Moffatt, Rob Doty, Tony Pinto, and Bill Manley were the members of this victorious team. In the 100 yard freestyle, Wilkes Jeff Boberick broke the ice as he became the only swimmer on the Wilkes team to pick up a first place over Western Maryland. · Kevin Augustine of Wilkes just narrowly missed a first place by a stroke in the 200 yard back stroke. The 500 free style was won by Rick Benitz of W.M., but Wilkes swimmers Boberick and Betsy Iscovitz did not give it to Benitz on a silver platter. The 200 breast stroke event was won by another Wes tern Marylander, Jim Tarr. Jim Edwards nnd Rob Doty finished second and third for Wilkes with strong showings. · 'l'he 400 relay was an instant replay of the Lycoming meet as Wilkes' Pinto, Jones, Augustine, and Edwards defeated Western Maryland's entry.

The Colonels were away from home so long, they forgot where the showers are. Photo by Bob Gaetano The Son of Softee, after an opening defeat at the hands of Organizations, have gotten rolling and are now very serious contender -for the IM crown. Their 3-1 log to date has inspired , previously apathetic students around campus to become caught up in what guard Bob "Boog" Brezinski calls "The greatest thing since toilet paper," SOFTEE-MANIA. Bruce DougljlS, one of the original Sons of Softee, (the team originated in 1974 when Bruce was a junior) reports that sales of Softee memorabilia have already surpassed those of the "I am not a loser" buttons which Bob Owens was selling at this time a year ago. In their latest win, Rich Abrams, Greg Wild and Brezinski all scored in double figures as Softee stalled the Jets, (Dave Dudick, 19 pts.) 55-51. Another team challenging the still undefeated "Organizations" is Canadian Club, whose recent turnaround has been marked by a pair of two point wins. The first victory was over the Humdinger's (John Cavanaugh, 21 pts.) in rP.al ripsnorter, 51 -49, with Carl Holsberger leading the balancoo scoring attack with 16. The latest cvictim was the Jets, who, despite a 25 point outburst by Ken Sickler were nipped by the Club, 67-65. Canadian Club Coach Mark Rado, who has come to be called "The Great Guy" due to his . hilarious sideline antics during games, told reporters that "The absence of Bob Ausura from our line-up has definitely been a plus for us, and the other reason for our success of late is that we never shoot unless we have the ball." In other " A" league action, league leading scorer "Pistol" Pete Cosgrove (25 ppg.) went one above his average (which adds up to 26 if you're counting) to lead the Bombers (3-1) over Priapus, 67-51.

Indeed, after an easy opening night win, the Jets went on the snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in their next three games, displaying new ways to blow halftime leads in each of them. It appears., though, that the Jets have the firepower to pull it together, and could be the Cinderella team once play,offs begin ... Here's a --R_artial score, Polish Falcons -- 61. .. In a meeting earlier this week, league officials were informed that the player on the Gore Hall basketball team had voted unanimously to fire their head coach, Dave Yakaitis.

No Extreme Effects Anticipated Due To Decimal Grading System In a recent faculty survey conducted by The Beacon staff it was revealed that approximately 60 percent of the faculty is in favor of the Student Goverment decimal point grading system that will go into effect next semester. A greater majority of _ the faculty questioned, however, indicated that there will be no major effects in grades rising or falling. Calling professors for two days, The Beacon contacted 46 faculty members and divided them into . four areas: the Sciences; the Humanities; the Social Sciences; and the Commerce and Finance department. Each professor contacted was asked if he is in favor of the new decimal point grading system and whether or not grades will rise, fall, or remain the same in his personal grading system. This survey was conduc ted in response to the apparent questions and worries students have on how the faculty will use the grading system. The area most supportive of the new grading system was the Commerce and Finance department with all of the professors contacted in favor of it. Forty percent felt that grades would increase and 20 percent indicated that grades would probably decrease leaving 40 percent feeling that t here will be no change in grade averages. The Humanities area consisting of the English, Music, Foreign Languages, Education, '!nd Art departments showed that 15 percent of the faculty was in fa vor of the new grading system. Fifty percent felt that grades would remain about the same, but over 40 percent indicated that grades would decrease. It was in this ·academic area that the greatest percentage of faculty members felt grades would decline. Less than ten percent felt grades would increase. In the Sciences area, over 60 percent is in favor of the new system, with close to 70 percent feeling that grades would remain about the same. Only 20 percent indicated that grades would decrease and under ten percent said grades would increase. Excluding the Nursing Department and Mathematics faculty which were included in this section, the other sciences, especially biology and chemistry professors, are not in favor of the decimal point system and also feel that grades may decrease. Fifty percent of the faculty in the Social Sciences area is in favor of the grading system with 75 percent expressing no change in grade averages and only 25 percent indicating grades would drop. The overall results show that about 60 percent are in favor with 30 percent against and leaving the last 10 percent with rfo decision one way or another. While conducting the survey some professors offered their perSonal comments and criticisms. Mr. Berg of the History department said "one system is as bad as another; pick your poison." while Mr. DeCosmo of the Math department said "I'm in favor of it because I feel the students are in favor of it." Dr. Bellucci of the Education department stated that he is going to raise his standards for an A from 90 - 100 to 95 - 100 and so on down in response to the new grades. "Research has shown that a 5.0 system (0-4.0) is more reliable than the present system we have adapted." says Bellucci. Dr. Truckenmiller of the Psychology department said "the finer you make the distinction, the greater the chance for error. The present is as discriminate as you can get." Dr. Berryman of the Enviromental Science department described how he will use the new grading system. He said that he will first grade students according to the present system and then go back to give the higher 3.0 students a 3.5 and the higher 2.0 students a 2.5 and so on down. Jim Edwards Pawlush To Fill PR Position George G. Pawlush has been appointed Public Relations Director of the College, succeeding Douglas Rubinstein, who resigned last month. Pawlush, an adjunct English Department professor, will also serve as The Beacon advisor. A graduate of Wilkes, the 3~ear-old PR head has spent 13 years at the College, first as a student, as assistant PR Director, and then as News and Sports Information Director. Heas advised Circle K for the past nine years and coached the cross country team until last year. In addition to a BS. in Commerce and Finance, he also earned an MS.in education at Wilkes. Pawlush is editor of the " Wilkes-Hahnemann Newsletter," and managing editor of "The Wilkes College Quarterly." He is president and a founder of the Wyoming Valley Striders, former chairman and current advisor to the Cherry Blossom Committee and a ermanent trustee of the Class o 1969. ThP. entire Pawlush family is part oi the Wilkes College family, QQ the new PR director's brothers f and sister all graduated, attend or will attend the College. Pawlush's wife Carol, whom he met while she was working in the College financial aid office, is also a student at Wilkes. The Pawlush's are the parents of a son, George IV. Pawlush's primary objectives as PR Director are to "establish and maint11,in lines of internal communication, as well as retain P,Xternal contacts," and to mold his own philosophy of public relations, using his own ideas and those of the three directors under whom he has served. "I think of myself as an innovative person," he said, "and I won't be content to simply maintain the status quo." He also prides himself for being close to the students through advising and participating in sports and other activities. 'Tm here because the students are here," he commented. "Without them I wouldn't have a job." Wilma Hurst IDC Council & Student Union Board Disagree Over Party Policy Differences of opinion have arisen between the Student Union Board and the Inter-Dormitory Council on how to throw the annual St. Valentine's Day party in the SUB. In planning for the party, it was the Council's hope to have beer allowed both upstairs · and downstairs which would be something new. Beer has not been allowed upstairs because the Student Union Board wants to protect the ru_g. Before the Council even applied for use of the facility the Board took action on the matter and voted against IDC allowing beer upstairs in a 5-4 vote. Dean Edward Baltruchitis stated at the Student Government meeting Monday night that "it is a matter of written policy." Of the ten-member board, the four who voted in favor of the beer upstairs were the SG, IDC, and CC representatives along with Clint Franklin, the former SUB. director. Among the five who voted against the premature motion were Dean Baltruchitis, Mr: Art Hoover, Student Activities director, and Bob Austin, the current SUB.director. It should be noted that none of the members of the Board are elected. All are appointed in various manners. Tom Bazzini, IDC president, was very disappointed over this issue on three points. First, the Board voted on the issue before IDC applied for use of the SUB . which therefore it could not properly support or defend itself. Secondly, IDC was willing to be responsilbe for the protection of the rug and thirdly, he stated that the Board has been trying to get rid of the rug for years. It was Bazzini's and the Council's intent to create a better party atmo- sphere. "The primary reason why the SUB was set up, was to get the parties out of ·the dorms." said Joe Marchetti, Housing director and IDC advisor. As of Wednesday, Bazzini was trying to reschedule a meeting with the Student Union Board this week to properly discuss this issue.

When called, some other other RA'.'s, were in classes, meetings or a sporting events and could not be interviewed . So it is hoped that this random sampling gives a clearer picture of what the job takes. Thanks are extended to all of the RA'.S who took the time to answer questions· Mary Stencavage Return Of Romance Reflected In Wags to more dancing than listening. Dance bands and disc jockeys who bring taped music along are being booked by the tons. An obviousiy romantic style attire also prevails as men and women dress up to do the town not just for dances. Elegant silk an~ satin oversiz,.Jd tops with skmny pants as well as bigsleeved blouses with wide whooshy skirts celebrate th~ return of the romantic 30's and 40's. Quite a switch from .the burlap bag, blue jean days! Romantic furniture is also getting its share of the spotlight as sales are up on items such as canopied beds and love seats. ~omantic gifts never really lost their power, they just lost their number. That story, however, has also changed. Expressive diamond jewelry still reflects love's holding power, however motives have changed. No longer is the diamond just a symbol of engagement, as . couples now purchase "eternity rings .. given years after marriage as signs of enduring love. Greeting ·card sales have skyrocketed, yielding an increasro thoughtfulness for friends and family as well. Flower sales show an fncrease with the rose still the ever popular symbol of romance in American s~ci~ty. A new and growing trend withm the last two years has placed em~hasis on body flowers. Women now sport daises, minicarnations and small orchids in their hair and on wrists. I wonder if tnis romantic trend could be a counter attack on previous liberal attitudes (which may have proved a little too liberal) and a yearning for more conservative mannerisms, if only for a change. Nevertheless, the fact remains -obvious that ro- · mance is very much alive and fashionable. Become a part of it, tell someone you love them today! Pam Long a I ly What do you think of when someone mention$' Mel Brooks? Fond remembrances of "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," or numreous others probably prevail, but wait! Flash! Another one of Brooks creations is currently on the loose! This time "High Anxiety" denotes the creator's collection of comic fantasies and is sure to have howls and giggles rolling around town in no time. Provoked laughter appears Brooks' only intention in writing "High Anxiety." His scheme includes several take-offs on Hitchcock films such as "Psycho," "Vertigo," "Spellbound," and one memorable scene from "The Birds" where Brooks races through a park persued by a flock of pitiless pidgeons who plummet him with more than just a "bad look." SPLAT! As Richard H. Thorndyke, a Harvard-trained fsychiatrist, Brooks is assigned a position at the Psyeho Neurotic nstitute for the "Very Very" Nervous. The spoofs continue as he tries to unravel the strange proceedings going on at the institute. Villainous laughgetters are Harvey Corman, as chicken-livered Dr. Montague who's got "a thing" for the sinister, iron chested and iron handed Nurse Diesel, alias Cloris Leachman. Madeline Kahn P.lays a cool bl_ond assistant to Brooks in solving the mystery and H.ow~rd Mon:i,s portrays a psychiatrist who cures Brooks of his own p_hobia, a "high anxiety" about heights. The mov1e's magic comdy immediately OVef1>OWffll the funnybone. Opening scenes show several faces in the wmdows of a , landinl{ plane. All are smiling until the camera zooms in on Brooks' visage of in~ense ."high anxiety." His O.J. Simpson-like trip through the airport mtroduces him to some more crazies including a woman greeting her husband in a bomicidal fashion and a secret policeman who turns out to be homosexual flasher. The fas~ moving farce is a timeless C?med:>: at once captivating a~d affect10nate. Brooks truly proves his gemus by seasoning the Hitchcock plot with Harvey Corman's werewolf impersonations; a busload of swinging musicians who cruise up along side Brooks' car; as well as Nurse Diesel's shark aqlJilnum and triumphant "Broom Hilda'.:-like exit at the finish. . A th~me song, written and sung by B~oks, seems another mnovat10n. The tune emanates a romantic tribute to the sizzled synapses of society. · _11 Altogether, "High Anxiety" is a frustratingly funny movie See a ,) .

This meet, however, never came off because Lycoming's swim coach took his team home to Williamsport because he believed that the meet was to take place at 2: 00 that afternoon. Originally, t he meet was at two, but due to Wyoming's use of the sports center the meet was changed to 4: 00 in the afternoon. The change of contract time was handled by Wilkes athletic direct or John Reese by telephone t o t he Lycoming Athletic Office. The problem if' t hat bot h swim team' s had a very short season and the purpose of the meet was to give each team an additional meet. Also, t he Lycoming coach stated t he reaso n for his departure was t hat Lycoming did not have a contract with. Wilkes for t]ili; meet. He also stated t hat it was scheduled for two o' clbck not four. He and his team then packed it in and headed on the journey back to Williamsport. The communications in the Lycoming Athletic .Office should be improved for the sake of convienience of all involved. The coach not only wasted his time by not allowing his team to swim, but Wilkes and Lycoming teams suffered by not having it, the officials didn' t appreciate having an afternoon wasted, and guests at the meet were disappointed. The good news is that this confusion will not stand in t he way of further activity of the two schools. Lycoming' s Athletic Director Dutch Burch arrd John Reese have rescheduled the meet for tomorrow at 2: 00 p.m. at the Wyoming Seminary's pool. The Colonels competed against King' s a nd Susquehanna on Wednesday at t he King' s pool. Results were not available at press time.

Highly t outed "Stars and Bars," who had out-smoked the "Residual Bongers"' in t heir previous encounter, came into t he contest a slight favorite over "Sofia's Bar and Grill," who had squeaked out a shaky two point win over the Chemistry Club a few days before. Sofia' s, however, grabbed the lead right from the start, and on the strength of Ed Hayduk' s 22 points, held a slight edge going into the final seconds. "Stan and Bars," down by two points with fifteen ticks remaining, went into a press and stole t he ball. Youtze (full name) then drove the left side of the lane only to be fouled as he attempted to shoot. Youtze was injured on the play, however, and 6 foot, 11 inch reserve center Steve " Arm" Bollinger was forced to come off the bench cold and shoot the fouls. " Arm" clutchly sank bot h tosses to send t he game into overtime, but without the high scoring " Yoots," "Stars and Bars" dropped t he hard-fought battle, 57-54. In -other "B" action, the Priapus Puds (Lee Kopieka, 22 pts.) downed " Sleazy AMF" 64-61. Gore Hall (Bill Snakely, 32 pts.) split the Bananas, 60-32, and the Worms (Jack Haffner, 18 pts.) overcame mediocre performa nces by their own Keith and Kevin Augustine t o beat t he Engineering Club, 58-40. More upsP.ts were taking placP, in t.he " A" league - - ~ ~~ contests. In Sunday night's feature, the Sons of Softee, fresh off a 104-68 drubbing of the Humdingers (:rvi;ike ~udge, 26 pts.), showed up in flashy brown shirts m an apparent attempt to ho-psyche their opponents, the Outlaws. (Chuck "Chi Chi" Crawford repor ted that Softee team members felt t he shirts would help them jump higher.) Surprisingly, the move backfired, and the Polish Falcons used a balanced scor'>1g attack to lick Softee, 76-49. Elsewhere in the "A" league, Snakes (Enzo Ferrara, 14 pts.) outlasted Canadian Club, 54-44, in spite of the fact that Club coach Mark Rado was keeping score. The loss, however, was meaningless to CC as they had already clinched a playoff berth. Ot her teams that also qualified were the Sons of Softee, Organizations, and t he Polish Falcons. FOUL SHOTS Lorenzo Alston asked to be mentioned as the "Best Defensive Player in the League." Well, there it is. It's not true, but ...

Mike Aed, the Wilkes Athletic Trainer, is concerned about the conditions that exist in the room. "Maintenance was supposed to take care of the existing problems months ago, but they are still here and they are still just as serious. There are four requests that I made to the administration concerning the protection of the equipment and the sanitation of this supposedly sterile room," commented Aed. "The window has been broken into on occasion and that still hasn't been fixed properly. Secondly, the temporary wall that was installed last year is still here and you can take your fingers and pull_the whole thing down. Thirdly, there is only a partial ceiling and that creates a tremendous amount of Qi!St in an area where there shouldn't be any, and finally the walls and ceiling are in need of paint. I have written letters to the administration involved and haven't heard any word on when this work will get done." ' The administration is unified in its policy of taking care of the students needs first, followed by the faculty's, and finally the needs of the administration. But this project is adversely affecting the needs of many of the student-athletes at the college. Marion Jones, head of.the maintenance department, commented, "It's not my decision when this will get done. I'm waiting for the okay from the Business Office." However, Charles Abate in the Business Office, said that the training room maintenance work is a special case and it depends on the availability of men in the maintenance department. The reparations to the wall are Marion's decision but the ceiling will require special discussions between Marion and myself." Andrew Shaw mentioned budget limitations and limited resource as the main cause of the problem. "With 52 buildings on eampus to maintain, we pick the ones that directly affect the living conditions of the students to work on first. We just have to keep our priorities straight." John Reese, the college Athletic Director, claims that things are so bad in the gym that he can't even get the floor swept. No matter whose fault it is for the existance of these problems, they 'cannot be ignored and they will not go away themselves. There is $7300 worth of equipment unprotected in the Training Room. · That fact remains. Bowlers Start Second Half Of Season The Wilkes College Bowling Club started its second half schedule.

The basketball Colonels have already been in three overtime contests, one going the route -of four OT's. And now, in last Saturday's 69-63 come ba!!k from ahead loss to Lycoming, Wilkes followers were treated to the magic of Al McGuire, Bobby Knight, and Tom Heinsohn rolled into one in the person of Coach Rodger (The Dodger?) Bearde. · First of all, Bearde got three technical called on him in the loss. Here is how it happened: Bearde, 1;1pset over a foul called on junior John Zapko on a rebound WI th 4: 21 left to play, protested to officials Frank Terwilliger and Joe Tesori. He was slapped with a "T" seconds after t he call was made. Bearde, who swears as much as Gene Domzalski who does it as much as Pope Paul, explains,"! stood up_ and yelled'. 'I don't believe it,' and he hit me with the first one. There was no swearing, I never swear." Usually an official will give a warning or tell the coach to sit down before he gives the technical, but not this crew. Niether Lycoming' s coach or Bearde had protested anything prior to the call on Zapko. Why did the.refs call the T's so fast? Nobody has the answer, but an interesting fact is Wilkes shot only-15 foul shots that night, while Lycomfog countered with 30 free throws, making 25 good. After the first "T", Bearde called a time-out. He was then informed that a 2nd technical had been given to him. It was in questioning the 2nd T, that he received the third technical. Of all the T's called, he really only deserved the third, but that never should have happened because of the first two. Lycoming converted all six free-throws to give them a five-point lead and eventially a six-point win. Wilkes was supposed to meet Elizabethtown on Monday, but the game was rescheduled for this Monday at Elizabethtown. As of early Wednesday morning, the Colonels long-awaited meeting with Scranton University at the John Long Center was still on. No matter what the result of the game, or sh'ould we say war, was, the Rock and RoH Royals of Coach Bob Bessior, will be at the South Franklin Street gymon Feb. 14 to meet Wilkes at 8: 15 in a rematch. Although the game will be on the evening of Valentine's Day, there will be no love shared in the gym that night. It will be more like the St. Valentine's Day massacre, with hopefully the Blue and Gold trumping the Royals with a flush. TIP-INS: Scranton University's basketball press guide calls Bessior the Al Maguire [notice spelling, it should read, McGuire] of small cc;,llege basketball. You would think, after they call themselves the "finest basketball progn..m in Division III in the nation," they would at least spell the name of last year's NCAA Division I national champion Marquette Warriors head mentor's name right, but I guess thats the way its done up at "Duh U." ... Some interesting dates for Colonel cage followers: Feb. 14, Scranton, home; Feb. 16, Elizabethtown, home; Feb. 18, Junita, home; and Feb. 20, Bloomsburg, home..... Wilkes 15 game stats show John Zapko as only Col9nel in double figures with a 18.7 scoring average..ZAP, who has played only eight games leads the team in points scored .....cheerleaders have drastically improved since last home showing, their up to a B- now..... Mark Rado is doing a heck of a job for the Wilkes basketball team as a manager, problem is nobody knows what he is supposed to do. Eddie White ~ set by All-Time great Jim Weisenfluh, 27-0, in 1974. Gregrow also holds the Wilkes record for tbe fastest pin as he once clamped an opponent in only 8 seconds. Danny House followed Gregrow's performance with the only Colonel pin of the evening, showing Wester Ware where the lights were. Bryan Billig continued his winning ways by scoring a major decision over Steve Darling, 14>. Three of the remaining Colonel victories were three point decisions that were racked up -by Ed Johnson, Mark Densberger, and Denny Jacobs. Casper Tortella won his bout by · default. Greg MacLean, Joe Napoli, and Dan Miner were dealt the only Wilkes defeats. Napoli and Miner were filling in for regulars Alex Grohol and Gene Clemons. Grohol is out with a separated shoulder and Clemons was resting a sore back. The Colonels continued to win on the road as they stretched their overall record to 100 with an exciting win over a tough Hofstra squad on Saturday. Gene Clemons, back in the lineup after a back injury, sparked the Reesemen to the 23-12 conquest. His 17-3 superior decision over Pat Mortorello iced the match for the Colonels. Wilkes held a slim 15-9 lead going into . Clemons' bout. The Colonels ran into a little trouble in the lightweights, dropping two of the first three matches. Bryan Billig was the only victorious lightweight as he posted a 14} win. Both Ed Johnson and Pat O'Callaghan were handed three-point defeats. However, the middle weights came through for the Colonel cause as Casper Tortella, Mark Densberger, and Denny Jacobs all won. Dens berger' s v.ictory was a pin over highly-respected Zelik Zeigelbaum at 150 Greg MacLean continued in his slump, losing a close 4-3 decision. After Clemon' s big win, Dave Gregrow was dealt his first loss of the season by top-notch grappler Aurelio Balianau, 8-1. Danny House mopped up with an 8-2 win in the heavyweight category. The Colonels s~ k to keep their winning streak alive tomorrow when they travel to West Point to take on Army and Massachusetts at 2:00. They continue their marathon road stand with a match against Bucknell on Tuesday. The meet with East Stroudsburg that was postponed due to the snow storm has yet to be rescheduled.

U. Board Approves Beer On First Floor Concert Being Planned For later Tl,ig Spring A concert is currently "in the work," accordtng to Greg Black, co-chairman of SG'~ Concert Committee, to be held possibly in conjunction with Cherry Blossom Weekend. Black explained that he did not want to reveal any names of groups being considered since students expect a certain group and then are disappointed when that group cannot be booked. The Committee, which · is chaired by Black and Kevin McCall, tabulated the results from last semester's concert surveys; however, Black noted that there were only about 140 responses. The survey was conducted last semester .to aid in booking a concert for this semester. Black commented that the survey will be run again this semester, which would help for next semester's concert, but he also noted that musical taste on campus could change by then. although the survey response cannot be used as a fair representation, there were general trends in the results with rock, country-South and folk leading the list. Jazz and rhythm blues were ranked in the middle with disco and soul near the bottom. The Committee is considering a variety of groups and is trying to avoid booking_ a group similar to ··.Pure Prairie League" and "Outlaws." In considering groups, the Committee works with a promoter. The promoter suggests groups to Black and McCall, who in turn check the campus reaction to that specific group. Black explained why Sha Na Na was suggested is that the group has a different style compared to "Pure Prairie League" and "Outlaws." He . added the Committee could have been considering any group. _ The scheduling of a concert at Wilkes has been a recent issue in many letters to the editor. Black said "I try to be honest and say my tastes don't enter in." He stated that he and McCall discuss groups suggested by the promoter and are not out for their own best interests. The promoter with whom the Committee is working is aware of any circumstances which affect the groups booked at Wilkes. He also works with King's Colle~e and Scranton University Ill booking concerts. Black and McCall, along with the promoter, know the capacity of Wilkes. Either the chairmen or the promoter will suggest groups with the other party giving Continued o~ page 2 At a special Student Union Board meeting Tuesday afternoon in Dean George Ralston's office, it was passed by a vote of 9-1 to have beer on the first floor of the SUB for this Friday's IDC-CC St. Valentine's Day party. This meeting was arranged after Student Goverment recommended that the Student Union Board reconsider their previous decision. The Board had voted twice not to have beer on the first floor. This meeting's goal was to reach "sensible judgement" and the Student Union Board came to Dean Ralston for guidance and clarification. After over an hour and a half of discussing, arguing, and nit-picking the basic arguments came down to 1) whether to have beer on the first floor of the SUB for this party 2) how many people should be allowed to attend the party and 3) whether to havetarps down to protect the rug and pin-ball machines which was the concern of the Boards. Dean Edward Baltruchitus, SG advisor and a member of the Board, stated since IDC, CC, and SG are more responsible than any other group, tbev _ shoulrl be Debate Union Continues Glory For Big Season The forensic unit of the Debate Union continues to add glory to an already successful season. Its last trip was to West Long Branch, N.J., where the members competed in the Woodrow Wilson Forensic tournament, one of the largest competitions on the East • Coast.

A vote was taken to reconsider the two original decisions and it was passed 10-0. Another vote was taken to reconsider beer on the first floor for this party alone as an experiment. This vote was 9-1 with Mr. Art Hoover, a member of the Board, voting no on the grounds that "I don't thinkthe Board should be forced into making a decision. I still vote no." Hoover then left the meeting to take care of other business. , The final point discussed was on how many people should attend the party. IDC originally wanted 250 people but . had diregarded this number based on the SUB rules. They were wiling to settle on 200. Some Board members such as Peggy Schutz felt only 150 was an adequate number ·of people to control tqe party and protect the building.:Jin the final vote, 200 people were voted in favor to attend in a 5-4 decision with Andrea Taroli, Clint Franklin, Gary Toczlowski, Dave Hungarten, and John ~enatore voting in favor and Peggy Schutz John Leedy, Bob Austin, and Dean . Baltruchitus voting against. It was the general agreement of the board that the tarps would not create a good party atmosphere and shall not be 'used. This decision is only an exception to the rule because of the sponsoring organizations who are considered responsible. The policy still stands as a rule. Jim Edwards Reconsideration Prompted By SG SG Monday night voted to recommend to the Student Union Board that it , reconsider its decision not to allow beer on the first floor of the SUB during tonight's Valentine's Party. That move resulted in a reversal of the decision at a special meeting Tuesday. SG' s vote to make its recom mendation, which passed 18-5-1, followed almost an hour of discussion between SG members, SUB Directo1' Bob Austin ,and Union Board and SG Advisor Edward Baltruchitus. The Student Union Board, comprised of. eight students and two administrators, is accountable to SG, although "autonomous," according to Baltruchitus, who said the privilege ·was granted by SG in 1976. Monday's meetlng touowea iwo previous votes by the Board, both of which adhered to written policy by not permitting alcoholic beverages on the first floor. - Austin claimed that the people who originally voted against IDC's request are "people who know the building and know what's best for it." He explained that the Board's concerns involved the possible damage to carpeting and th~ $22,000 worth of novelty machines on the floor. For these reasons, the Board twice voted to not waive the current restrictions. Most SG members disagreed with the decision, arguing tliat a test case should be allowed to determine whether or not allowing alcoholic beverages on the first floor would actually cause those problems. In reference to the written limitations, Kim Dubosky comm,-nt....i t.h .. t. if nPlmlP. lll"P. not allowed to drink upstairs, they will drink as much as they can downstairs in the basement, and "you're going to have rowdy people because they're not drinking slowly." Rosetta Chiavacci proposed that "people aren't going to drink so much if they have something to do or somewhere to go," as a reason to allow more mobility at the party. Commenting on the reluctance of Roth Novelty Company to allow beer in the area where its equipment is, Louie DeRobertis noted the great potential use at such a party, and said he couldn't "believe a businessman would not allow a party" when he saw that potential. Duke Scancarella complained that it appears "Mr. Roth thinks of 4s not as young adults, but as juveniles." Baltruchitus addressed the body on four points, including his opinion that the party could benefit more students if held off campus, . and that fact that although SG made the Union Board autonomous, it called it in when it was not satisfied with a vote which was made by eight Continued on page 3 -On The Cover All you people have been complaining about the poor concert situation on this campus but where were you when Joan Baez preformed in McClintock Hall last week.

THE BEACON, FEBRUARY 17, 1978 Concert From page 1 constructive criticism. "We have to settle for a smaller group, " said Black. He added that Wilkes cannot compete with King's and Scranton due to our size. Wilkes does not have the facilities that King's and Scranton have. Black explained the Wilkes g-ym will hold 2300 to 2500 people at the maximum. Concerning ticket prices, Black felt the suggestion of $11 in a recent letter to the editor was "outrageous." With a college studen t audience, the price of tickets could make a difference. Black figured the Committee could work with a budget of approximately $14,000 with a ticket price of $6.50. "We could go hig her, but t hat would exclude some people," noted Black. This budget includes not only t he cost of the group, but various • other expenses such as lighting a nd sound; advertising; stage crew and rider agreements. Due to t he capacity of the Wilkes gym, the College is !imited to booking groups which are on t he rise. Wilkes cannot afford the big names that King' s and Scranton can because of budget and seating limitations.• As far as Wilkes sponsoring concerts at other facilities, Black mentioned the Kingston Armory cann ot be considered. He commented t hat damage to doors and windows resulted at the las t concert held in the Armory. In light of'this, Black sent a letter to t he Armory staff explaining that damage had also occurred at ,.............................................. Wilkes and that Wilkes would be responsible. However, the request was turned down due to . Armory policy. In discussing the possibility of a Wilkes-King's concert, Bl,ack described "That would just be putting our name on something."·, "It kind of defeats the purpose," he added explaining that Wilkes sponsored concerts are something on campus for Wilkes students. "We're the only school that subsidizes tickets." Black noted that neither Scranton nor King's offer reduced ticket prices to students. There is atso the possibility of using the Paramount Theater in the future. . Black said the promoter also works with the Paramount. The idea of weekday concerts sponsored by Wilkes in the Paramount may be possible next year. The Committee is also looking into outdoor concerts. The group for the concert to be held later this semesterwiil _he probably decided upon within the next month, according to Black. However, the group will not- be announced until a later date. Black explained the promoter's philosophy about holding back advertising. He feels this will generate more enthusiasm for the concert rather than· the concert becoming a dead issue. Black commented that booking a concert is " not as easy" as some people seem to believe. - He emphasized that the Committee is The College Veteran's Club will i conduct a paper drive for the ibenefit and enjoyment of com;.muni ty children. . ; Mike Kowaleski, club public !

Set Story Strai.ght To The Editor: I would like to take exception_ to your claims that Commuter Council in years past has- not accomplished anything, but has just held its own. Maybe-it is an oversight or poor researching -on your part, but C.C. has accomplished great strides in the past. Six years ago Wilkes commuter didn't have an organization devoted solely to their needs. Once established it was admittedly a slow growth process. This was partly due to disinterest and slow acceptance by the college community. C.C. under the leadership of Mike Stambaugh made great progress in succeeding to obtain "on-campus parking" for commuters. (Something unheard of to commuters at Wilkes). He also instituted the Park and Lock idea with many long, hard hours of work and negotiations. I think a little credit should be given to the past Commuter Councils. As a past president of C.C., I know the many problems that face the council and the criticism that must be endured. But, as president, I along with my entire council fought for the rights of the commuters at Wilkes. We also created a workable relationship with I.D.C.; which in my estimation, was a major breakthrough. Maybe as the years go by thingf go by the wayside and past strides are forgotten, but it should be noted that C.C. is a relatively new organization and is rapidly coming into its own. It is now holding a high position at Wilkes. (Which it rightly deserves). In closing, I would like to truly compliment C.C. for its progress and The Beacon which is giving good copy to C.C. I was impressed to see C.C. as a major news story in Feb. 2nd Beacon. The Beacon isn't looking for the weak leak, but, realizing that C.C. is doing its job as always. (Promoting the commuter welfare). Maybe the present commuting students have real' ized that they have to work together to accomplish anything.

It seems that the reason for the unusual 54 days between the Men's basketball team home games and the unusual 53 days between the women's basketball team home games was for selfish reasons on the part of the Athletic Director. John Reese, who also serves as wrestling coach, scheduled these two teams as such in order that when the Oklahoma wrestling team (one of the top teams in the nation) called to schedule for a wrestling match in January, Mr. Reese would have the gym open and available.

Art, donned in nothing but diapers, a heart and a bow and arrow, spread his wishes for Valentine cheer. Throughout the campus, Art "Cupid" Hoover tiptoed around, seeking out lovers and nailing them with his arrows . . Many of the comments were not what our little cupid expected. Like, "Hit the road, Bud! " "Donahue's doesn't open 'ti! 6" and "Hit me with one more arrow and I'll rip your diaper off!" Nice try, Cupid, but don't you think it's a little too cold to be running around nude?

T~e ' problem from what I, gather is that one, a lim!ted number of seats due to an madequate gym facility and second, since we don't h.ave the large sea~ing ca_pacity, tickets would be quite a bit more in order to pay for a well-known rock band. . .. .

Maybe we would have. to pay for the use of the other facili~ies, fire, insu~nce, and secunty, but wouldn t the large seating capacity compensate for the money we would have to pay for those liabilities. . I also feel a concert at Ralston Field in late spring or early fall would be fantastic. If you haven't been an outdoor concert you don't know how much you'~ missing.

And among _them are peoplt· who while filling their respective roles, decide to take on the added responsibilities of a campus club or organization. Rosetta Chiavacci, a senior nursing major from P ittston, is one of those energetic people. Rosetta has been involved in Student Government for the past two years, this year serving as r:orrespending Secretary. It all began two years ago when .tosetta sat in at a meeting for Carl Holsberger, who is now SG president. She became interested in Student Government, attended ·all of the meetings and was elected as this years Corresponding Secretary. Her duties for the post include handling the incoming mail and raking care of all correspqpdence. The Corresponding Secretary also serves as Homecoming Chairperson. Being in charge of an event that size involving that many people is no easy task. "I had to coordinate all · of the planning," she Tecalled,"down to t he smallest details, such as who would drive the cars over to the field, the bonfire activities , microphones, sashes, and times for people . to arrive." While Rosetta had the help of others, the major job was hers. She handled that job very efficiently, ai this years Homecoming proved to be a success. "I really enjoyed working for Homecoming-_" she added. When asked if she believes a state of student apathy really plagues Wilkes, Rosetta commented, " Not really, mos~ events ara well attended, but sometimes, wit h· classes and work, not many people have free t ime.", One . of Student Governmen ts maJor interests is to gain new ideas and . plan events which will appeal t o both commuting and dorm students alike, and provide interaction between the t wo groups. Student Government is only one of Rosettii's interests. The Pittston resident is also a member of t he Nursing Student Organiza ti on , a s ervice organization working t hroughout the community. In addition, she has walked · for the March of Dimes ,Walk-A-Thon, has been a donor for blood drives, and participates in Intramural volleyball and varsity softball. Rosetta was also among the 35 Wilkes seniors secected to Who' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. During her freshman and s ophomore years, Rosetta commuted every day to and from P ittston. However, she felt she "wasn't really involved and decided to dorm to move closer to everything." So s~e became a r esident of McChntock Hall during her junior year, and this year moved to Sullivan Hall. How did herfriends react to the situation? The "commuter-turned-dorm- student" took a lot of teasing at first. "It was pretty funn y " she laughed, "but now I've ~ade more new friends among do~ students as well as commuters.

Denn~ Jacobs did a yeoman job filling by j eff acornley For Rodger Bearde, this has been a season of much frustration and disappointment. He has endured where no others would endure. The record of a handful of wins against a mountain of losses would try even the most patient of men, but the won-loss record is only part of the story. His agony started last season when allegations of pot smoking and discipline problems on- the team hit the fan. A tremendous amount of publicity was given to the incidents and the players started dropping off left and right. "The problems of last years' team definitely hurt us this year," commented Bearde. "We lost seven players who were seasoned veterans because of direct results of last years' fiasco. It also hurt in the recruiting department, because of the adverse ·publicity that reached our recruiting areas." The Colonel coach had realistic hopes of playing winning basketball this season but injuries and a holdover bad attitude has hurt the program. When John Zapko went down with a preseason injury, the Colonels just couldn't seem to win. By the time he had returned to the lineup, the attitude was t hat of losing. It _is very difficult to change that attitude once it's cancer has set in. ''I' m disappointed in the way things have gone this year concerning our performance on the court, but the intangibles have been improving," offered Bearde. "It will certainly be a challenge to reconstruct the basketball program at Wilkes. We, both the players and myself, are going to have to work very hard to improve both our basketball and our attitudes. I believe in what I'm doing with the program here so we need players who believe in me as much as I . do." The scheduling Gods have not looked favorably upon the Colonel cause this season, because they not only played the entire first half of their league schedule on the road but they were not home for over 50 days. "We have established a committee to work on getting Wilkes a Christmas basketball tourney next winter. This will help our · program tremendously because it will eliminate the long break. These people are working very hard on making this a reality," commented the coach. It's going to be a long way back, but t he feeling is that the · catastrophes have finally bottomed out. "It's times like these that you discover who_the supporters of your program are. So, perhaps all of this will turn out for the positive in the long run," sais Bearde. "We are playing with a lot of heart and we will continue to do so in the future." But no matter what happens to the basketball program at Wilkes Col_lege, yo1,1 can bet t.hat Rodger Bearde _will endure_it. in for .t'en-y while he was on tne mena.

It was decided that the party will be heW at Gus Genetti's · since they had the best offer for the most reasonable cost. The date has been changed to meet with Genetti' s schedule from Friday night, March 10, to Sunday night, March 12. Tickets will go on sale a week from Monday in the Commons and the cafeteria. The price per person has not been determined but because of the skyrocketing food costs the ticket price is expected to be higher than last year' s. In other council business, DeRobertis lead a discussion on the problem of student advising by faculty which has been on the agendas of the Student Life and Student Affairs committees. Most views expressed by members were that their advisors can not answer many of their questions with everyone agreeing that Ms. Doris Barker, Registrar, "is the only person on campus who knows the curriculum requirements." DeRobertis feels that a great number of teachers are not making a basic effort to advise. Concerning the bus trip to New York City, which is this weekend, John Griffith, who is in charge of the trip, reported that due to six cancellations, there is going to be a loss of $40. This loss stems from the empty seats on the bus since the hotel reservations for these people have been cancelled. With the $78 loss from the 76er' s basketball game bus trip, the council has lost over $110 on their sponsored bus trips so far. Griffith, - also Commons committee chairman, reported that a grip box has been placed in the Commons. The first couple of complaints reported dealt with the leaky roof, the prices for food, and the dirty bathrooms. This committee will meet with Mr. William Denion of the College food service company to discuss all complaints reported. Mr. Art Hoover, ·student Activities Director and CC advisor, requested for a list of Brass_Quintet To Perform Wednesday The Potsdam Brass Quintet will be featured Wednesday, March 1 at 8 p.m. in the C.P.A., as part of this year's Concert and Lecture Series.

An afternoon seminar for music majors will be part of Wednesday's program. volunteers from the cou;cil to help out in the Capitol Gifts Campaign. These volunteers will make personal calls to the alumni in their hometown areas seeking donations to the campaign. An April 11th kick-off dinner will start the campaign and these volunteers will begin their drive then. Over 17 council members volunteered and Hoover and DeRobertis were pleased with this amount. Any studentinterested in working on the Campaign should contact Mr. Hoover. Jim Edwards New Problems Arise For Evaluation Forms Ross Mantione of the Computer Science Club reported at the Student Goverment meeting Monday night that several new problems have arisen with the Teacher Evaluation Forms. Before the data from the forms can be entered into the computer, each form must have its own number plus a course number and a teacher number. There are over 7,000 forms to be entered into the computer and the body started to number them at the meeting. This problem was not anticipated but Mantione offered a solution for next year's evaluation of the have to investigate into each one of these to find out who taught each of these courses. Mantione also pointed out that in one case a professor's name was on the form for that course but another professor actually taught the course. Carl Holsberger, SG president, seemed very dismayed at all these new and-unexpected problems but is still very determined to get the results published accurately. Some members seemed negative about the idea of the teacher evaluation Forms but Holsberger said that the body can not back down now. He attributed most of these problems to the first hand experience of conducting the evaluation and feels that once this year's problems are ironed out, future evaluations will be less complicated.

This party caused a big controversy last week over the question of allowing beer on the first floor of the Sub or not. Beer was allowed for this party alone and according to Bazzini, there were no problems and everyone had a good time. In other council business, it was announced that the council has received a good block of tickets to sell for the "America" concert at King's College, Tuesday March 14. Students may purchase these tickets at the IDC office for $8.50 during the week. Pam Keller of Weiss Hall is organizing the first Wilkes College Backgammon Tournament which may be held in the SUB.

Under new business it was reported that Priapus House has been placed on social probation indefinitely because of a pulled fire alarm a few weeks ago.

Sheree Kessler, chairman of the food committee, reported that at the last meeting with the cafeteria staff, more suggestions were expressed No Problem Party Policy -Changes. May Be In Future After the controversy centering around last week's Valentine's Party and whether or not to allow beer on the first floor of the SUB, it was reported that a number of administrators and members of the Board of Trustees are concerned with the campus party situation. This was reported at the Student Union Board meeting Tuesday, when Dean Edward Baltruchitus stated that "because things . are mushrooming" t he administration is worried about the risk the College takes in allowing such parties. He said that because the drinking age is 21 and most students are under age, if "anything ever happened" the College could have a law suit to contend with. "The· College doesn't want to take the legal risk," he stated. He also implied that the party policy may be tightened or even eliminated. "The College may move in this direction," said Baltruchitus. "Let's wait until someone takes the resp~nsibility to say something." In reviewing the St. Valentine's Party, it was agreed that generally everyone was pleased with the outcome. The party was orderly, and beer was spilled only once upstairs in the SUB, and that was taken care of.

While this is happening, lasers will display the audio spectrum of the background music through various images formed. Background music will include jazz, disco, and soundtracks from Star Wars and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The Physics Club also has planned a few surprises to be included in the show. • This will be the Club's second laser show. The first one was presented last fall. There was a good response to the last show, bu t there were a few minor problems which have since been taken care of. A laser is a compace beam of highly energized light. It is composed of photons emitted from a gas and projected in a very thin beam. Although lasers can be dangerous if they are powerful enough, tomorrow night's show will be completely safe.

Denison Hall Students Upset With Dorm Conditions ART EXBlBIT The senior art exhibit of Kathy Bozinski will be opened tomorrow at 8. p.m., and will run until Friday, March 3.

To The Editor: We here at Denison Hall feel that some aspects of our housing situation and the housing situation in general should be brought to the attention of the student body, the faculty and the ad ministration. Perhaps the best way to express our feelings and convey the abuses is through the Eastern Indian story concerning the Indian host and his American guest. It seems one day, after being a guest in the house for a week, the American brought up in passing conversation the situation of his room. The American, it seems, had a strong disiiking towards the cockroaches that littered the floor, the dresser drawers and the clo~ets of his room. · He had kept qmet because he was a guest and . thought it wrong to intervene in such domestic matters. Finally, the American could no longer tolerate the roaches and so brought the situation to the attention of his host. The Indian host was very sympathetic but took no action because roaches were very common in the area and said everyone must be willing to adapt to and tolerate this trivial uncomfort. The American returned to his room, feeling selfish and at the same time determined to ignore the roaches to ·the best of his abilities. While the American was standing on a stool in the corner (the only safe spot from the hoarde of roaches) he noticed a most disturbing event. As s~veral ro~ches were carrying off his belongmgs, three rats appeared and_ devoured the. roaches. Immediately the A~encan relayed these even!s to his host: The host was agam sympathetic but could only reason that the rats would ~ake care of the r~ach popula~10n and the Amen~an would Just have to learn to hve Chorus To Present Concert The Wilkes College Chorus, under the direction of Michael Haberkorn, will present its third concert on Thursday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m. · The major choral work on the program will be Gabriel Faure's "Requiem," Opus 48.

The American then returned to his room to find two king cobras dining on the rats. He ran and told his host. The host reasoned, since the rats had eaten the roaches, and the snakes would eat the rats, all the American would have to do is make a slight adjustment in his squeamish attitude towards the snakes. The American avoided his room for several days but finally needing sleep he courageously ventured back to his quarters only to find two mongooses ravageously tearing at the flesh of the cobras. The American was somewhat desensitized by this time and therefore did not _report the mongooses to his host until the last day. The host was outraged. He immediately directed his servants up to the room to clear out the roaches, the rats, · the snakes and the mongooses. Hence, the American had one comfortablg evening in his room. Moral: Everyone has a toleration level and it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed. We at Denison Hall have surpassed our toleration level (translation -- WE ARE PI--ED!!) In our humble abode (dorm) there lives cockroaches, mice, squirrels and rats . These creatures are annoying, but our complaints do not end there. The shower on the second floor that does not work would ordinarily cause problems, but we, being ingenius and innovative, have adapted. We shower under the various leaks -in the roofs. This bathing practice, of course, is directly related to the amount of precipitation. In the spring and the fall we are able to bathe with some frequency because of the generous supply of rainfall, but in the winter it mostly snows and the snow gathers on the rooftop. We are all waiting for the thaw so that we ~an resuem our regular bathing practices. A simple solution would be to fix the shower. This has been suggested and in turn we have been promised that the shower would be fixed. This promise has been made at least once a semester for the last four years. The list of our complaints goes on and it includes such trivial things as lack of heat and hot water. With all jesting aside, the recent revelation that rats inhabit the basement of Denison has brought about the culmination of a lot of petty annoyances. Yet these inconveniences do add up and we feel something should be done. All conventional means to rectify these problems have failed and now we hope we can gain some assistance in solving these problems. The Men Of Denison Ball ****** 3. Financial assistance. 4.

':It is more complica ted t han it would seem to an outsider at first glance." There has been considerable controversy concerning t he matter of the poor schedules that the basketball teams have had to endure t his year and John Rtl_ese is the man responsible for assembling thos schedules. Fingers have been pointed and accusations hurled, but Reese feels hurt t hat he has been accused of wrongdoings for selfish motives. A delicate balance has to exist between all of the sports and it is the Athletic Director who has to maintain that balance. Granted, being a coach and an At hletic Director is difficult, but Reese feels t hat this arguement of nepotism is unfounded. " That Letter to the Editor in last weeks Beacon really hurt me deeply," stated the AD-coach. " It was inaccurate and founded solely in rumor. If t he author would have called me, I would have gladly explained t he wh ole situation to him." According to Reese, the MAC scheduling is done two years in advance and in itial contacts wit h Oklahoma were not made until last years National Tournament in March. The final booking of t he Ja~mary home date_ with the Soonen. I was not made until mid-June of t~is year; Jong after the_ basketball schedules were signed, sealed, and I delivered. by jeff acornley FEBRUARY 24, 1978, THE BEACON, PAGE 3 "The thought that I would keep the gym open for t he wrestling team and no one else is absurd. Wrestling Oklahoma was a great opportunity for this entire school, and we had to be back to the campus to prepare for the Southern Swing anyway. That So~t hern Trip was financtl(i by the home schools entirely. They gave us a guaranteed income for making the trip, so it didn't cos t the school anything extra," stated Reese. The costs of scheduling the teams over the break period are prohibitive also. It costs a Jot of big bucks to bring back to campus all of the winter athletes. That is why we encourage our teams to get involved in Christmas Tournaments so they can stay in shape," added Reese. " Rodger Bearde elected to take-his team to t he St. Michaels Tournament in Vermont in early December instead of a Christmas Tourney. That is why their break was so Jong." This year was also the first that the double-round robin -competition was put into effect in t he MAC. Wit h only 26 possible dates to work wit h, it is a difficult job to accomodate everyone. Since t he schedules are on a rotating basis, all of t he games t hat were away t his year will be home next year and visa versa.

Cagers- FI•n •Ish Worst I · · D · d Year In O ver eca e---------------------------------------------------------------1 I The Wilkes College basketball team closed out its worst season since 1964 on Monday night with a heart-breaking 70-69 Joss to the Bloomsburg Stat e Huskie! at the Wilkes gym. The Colonel cagers ended the year with a 5-18 overall mark and a 2-12 slat e in the MAC. The game went back and forth until Bloom sub Jeff Slocum hit two free-throws with : 33 seconds left to give the Huskies a 68-67 advan ta ge. Aft er Jeff Baird · missed a desperation 15-footer at : 06 , Slocum hit two more free-throws and Kenny Hughes tallied a lay-up at the buzzer for the 70-69 final. Wilkes t op scorer John Zapko, averaging 19.6 per game, was held to just eight points in the season ending Joss. The Bloom D didn't hold Zap, t he bench did, as he sat out most of the game with foul trouble. IUt was t he first contest of the year in which he had not tallied double figures. · A DETAILED SUMMARY OF THIS YEAR'S ME N S BASKETBALL SEASON WILL BE PRESENTED IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE. Fin al : Outlaws Whip ·Softees A great injustice was given t o John Zapko this past week. The 6-6 forward from Fairless Hills, Pa.·was nominated for the annual ECAC team of the week. Zap didn' make the squad although he ta llied 93 poin ts (23.2 ), 59 rebounds, ov_er 50 per cent shooting from the field and 15 of 21 free-throw attempts, in the Colonels' four games for t he week. Those players from the ECAC who were chosen had far less statistics than Zapko, but they did play for teams with better records. What does t he E CAC player nominations stand for, t he player or ~is team? Dave Ogre, an intern working at t he ECAC office, when questioned on the Zapko issue, stated he would check into it, but nothing can be done. Alt hough the· evidence shows him wrong, Ogre said the players are not picked just because of their team's record. Where does this leave Zapko?

Phone 825-7569 Be that as it may, the Colonels are hot (sort of hot ). Their winning streak going into the PSU encounter stood at nine and they will close their regular season -tommorrow when they entertain Rutgers, East Stroudsburg, and Bucknell in a triple-dual match during the afternoon. The Colonels will tangle with Rutgers at 2:00, Stroud at 3:30, and Bucknell at 5:00. The reason for all of this madcap activity is that Wilkes got snowed out of the meet with Stroud and " Flued" out of the one with Bucknell. The match with Rutgers is the only one t hat was regularly scheduled for tommorrow. The other teams were also snowed out of matches with each other and the ·whole thing is too confusing to figure out. But the bottom line is t hat there will be a whole mess of wrestling in the gym tom morrow. · In the only action last week, the Colonels escaped with a win over Franklin and Marshall in what had to be considered the most boring match of the decade. F&M was down in the dumps emotionally because several of their wrestlers were ill with the flu and they figured that giving up 18 points worth of forfeits t o the Colonels before even stepping onto the mats was a strike distinctly in their disfavor. The Wilkesmen were afso flat because they figured with t he 18 point spot, they could afford to look ahead in anticipation to t he P enn State match. The result was a 27-15 triumph for the good guys but aii exercize in yawning for the fans. "I feel that I should apologize to t he fans for making them sit through that torture on Saturday," commented Coach John Reese. "It was the worst we've wrestled all year. I' m just hoping that it is the lull before the storm." Just for the record; Ed Johnson, Casper Tortella, and Greg MacLean ,t ook 3-point decisions while Mark Densberger, Gene Clemons, and Danny House t ook the 6-point freebees. Bryan Billig, Jim Kachidurian (134), Perry Lichtinger, and Dave Gregrow absorbed the losses. Gregrow had to default in his match due t o a sore shoulder but he will not miss any time because of the injury. " We just didn't have any zip," added the Colonel coach. " We were simply saving it all for the Lions, I hope," he added with a wink. Jeff Acomley The Outlaws, to no ones surprise, have captured the mens intramural "A" league basketball title with an easy 75-60 win over the -Sons of Softee in the playoff final. At the outset, Softee scored the first six points, but a patented Outlaw spurt minutes later put them 15 points ahead and t hey maintained that bulge the rest of the way. Six Outlaws reached double figures , while Bob Brezinski was a bright spot for Softee with 20 points. P erhaps the key man for t he Outlaws was Gary Toczylowski who drew the assignment of stopping · Softee cent er J ohn Lack, the team's leading rebounder and third leading scorer. Toz singlehandedly stifled Lack, preventing him from scoring at all, and led his squad to t he 1978 Wilkes I ntramural Basketball Association (WIBA) title. Outlaw team members include Dave (you still owe me a six-pack) Taylor, not-so steady Freddie Herman, Mike Capperal, " Disco" Tom McIntyre, Mike (I won at last) Vassil, Andy " Chicken Arm" Kresky, Bill "Also Chicken Arm" Polaha, and Toczylowski. The four divisional leaders in t he " B" league are t he Barens, Sofia' s Bar and · Grill, The Bombers, and The Buckeroos. With playoffs just around the corner, Beacon analysts . have predicted that they eventual champion will be the Bombers. In a rematch of last week's game, the highly-.touted, and deservedly so, BARENS annihilated the WAR (play more like peace) HEADS, 74-42, as all the Barens showed up this week. Joe Carr .ripped the cords for 21 points on 10 of 12 shooting from the field . Most of the 5,000 fans on hand t o see t he game were heard to exclaim on t he way out, " The Barens are back, the Barens -are back." The Barens will meet PREP H in a game which will decide t he Division I · title on Monday night at 9:00. The Warheads, alt hough John Lychos won' t admit it, are an also ran with no talent.

The Colonel aquanauts faced Binghamton (SUNY) and Utica in a tri-meet. The Wilkesmen split the twin decisions by losing to Binghamton, 79-34, but bouncing back to defeat Utica, 75-35 . . The Binghainton swimmers (rated one of the best swim teams in New York) dominated the aqua marine waters of their pool as they white-washed Wilkes and - their fellow New York staters · from Utica. Even though it was the day after Valentines Day, the "Bingo" swimmers showed no lo.ve for their foes. The big moments against Bingo for Wilkes came from Jim Edwards, 200 IM; and the 400 Free Relay Team (consisting of Edwards, Kevin Augustine, Jeff Jones, and Tony Pinto) . They were the only/ members of the Colonel team to pick up first place honors against Binghamton. For Wilkes' Cindy Glawe, it was a long afternoon as she was uprooted from her normal first place spot by Bingo's Jeff Wilson. Cindy tallied 180.10 in her optional dives and 159.10 in the . required ones. However, it was not enough to catch Wilson who's total was 219.68 and 167.15, respectively. · Against Utica, the Colonels (ettes) could do no wrong as every member of the Colonel team . gathered points on the scoreboard. Out of the 11 swimming events, Wilkes captured eight first places. · First place finishes were won by: Jeff Jones, 50 and 100 Free; Jeff Boberick, 500 and 1000 Free; Tony Pinto, 200 Butterfly; Kevin Augustine, 200 Free; 400 Medley Relay (John Moffatt, Rob Doty, Kevin Augustine, and Bill Manley); and the 400 Free Relay team of Pinto, Jones, Edwards, and Augustine. In the diving competition, Wilkes' Cindy Glawe won both the required and optional events while . Greg Lepkowski placed third in the required diving. This trimeet set the Colonels record at 5-5 and set the stage for the dramatic attempt for the first winning season in the school's swimming history. On Saturday, February 18, history was made! The Colonels behind a tremendous ·performance by Alan Shaw, whipped Cathedral College of Long Island, New York, 66-34 to garner their first winning season ever. In key events, Shaw really came through for the Wilkes cause as he garnered a first place finish in the Breaststroke event. He was also a part of the medalist 400 Medly Relay team (John Moffatt, Kevin Augustine, Bill Manly, and Shaw.) Refreshed with the knowledge that they are the most successful swimming team in the school's history, the Colonels depart for the MAC championships today at Widener College. Colonels expected to finish high are Cindy Glawe and the 400 Free Relay tea m of Edwards, Agustine, Jones, and Pinto. Bob Ausura Note: Judy Wing should be nominated as the MAC's best swim event announcer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is estimated that over 100 million people throughout the world hear his voice each day. Blanc began his vocalisms in grade school, where he got great laughs and lousy grades, and where he invented the laugh which was to become the trademark of Woody Wood£2':!Cker. Kids think of Vincent Price as a white-faced, black-clad vanpire, serious thei;tter-goers remember him for his commanding performance in Victoria Regina, TV fans know him as a gourmet cook, art connoisseur, game show contestant, and a popular narrator for symphony orchestras. He will come to Wilkes as a guest of the Concert and Lecture Series in a pres.entation entitled "Villians Still Pursue Me." The one man presentation will be in the CPA Sunday, March 5 at 8 p.m. The show is open to the publfo and is free of cha;ge. Born in Saint Louis, Vincent Price's initial aim in life was to become a teacher and collector of art, however, this was amended, when he tried out for and got a part in a small theatrical venture inLondon.

From the mid-thirties until the end of the forties, a time known as "the golden days of radio," Blanc starred in his own show, along with his wife Estelle, appeared as a featured performer on other shows and enjoyed enormous success with Capital Records. After he moved into television, it wasn't fong before he created a score of unusual voice characters. Since 1960 Americans ha ve encountered the Blanc touch in commercials created by the staff of Blanc Communications, and have enjoyed comedy sketches supplied by "Superfun," radio pieces produced by the Blanc Corporation.

The results of this year's evaluation will be available by pre-registation time. Under new business, it was reported that Frank Forte has come up with an idea to improve the admissions program at the College. He is suggesting that students from the College could visit High Schools to discuss the College and also prospective students could accompany students to their classes and dorm. Forte has also suggested the idea of "instant admission" which would only be granted by meeting certain criteria. A vote of confidence was give to Forte to pursue his ideas.

Happenings Arouse Suspicion; Could Ross Hall Be Haunted? DRAMA PRESENTATION-"Kennedy's Children," a drama by Robert Patrick, will be presented by Cue 'n Curtain [in association with the College theater] Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 10, 11 and 12 in the C.P.A. . The play, a series of monologues, is set in a Manhatten bar on Valentine's Day 1974 and concerns the lives, experiences and impressions of six people. The audience will experience the play close up, as it will be seated at the tables of the bar rather than in the t heater. · · Pictured are members of the cast: In the foreground is Lynn Sare; second row: Paul Gallagher, Cyndy Morrell, Carl Edwards, Adele Ann Tavella, John Forte. Who said that Wilkes College has no school "spirit"? Obviously they are unaware of the buildings on campus which are reportedly haunted (that is -- prior to their use by the College); and for Barbara Greenwood, director of the Upward Bound program located at Ross Hall, being wary of these reports is no longer a "special" sport. Ross Hall is the large, brown, three story building located directly across from the CollegeTemple Israel joint parking lot on · Ross Str. Upon entering the building one would think that it is ·no more ominous that the Easter Bunny, and this belief is further confirmed when greeted by the smiling friendly faces of the workers in the offices on the second floor. Here Ms. Greenwood related the story of the mysterious happenings that have recently been taking place at Ross Hall. It started three weei5s ago, about 8 p.m. when Bob Steininger, a student from Bishop Hoban in the Upward Bound program, was teaching his usual Friday night Karate class on the third floor of the building. . According t9 Ms. Greenwood, He's the one who first heard the ghost." . Bob claims that while the class was in session, he and the group heard what sounded like "Doors opening and slamming on the second floor." Under ordinary circumstances this wouldn't be too alarming, but the building was locked from the inside, and there are very few doors on the second floor which are not locked after working hours. The building was in darkness as Bob silently crept down to the second floor to investigate. Unable to find the cause of the disturbance ( Ute noises had ceased by now) he returned to continue his Karate lessons on the third floor. Shortly thereafter the slamming noises resumed, and again Bob went to investigate, and again he found nothing and returned to his lesson. After this sequence was re~eated for the fourth time, Bob & AIR FORCE ROTCHERE ARE T'HE FACTS .,.. e _ When you're discussing something as important as your future , it's urgent that you get the straight facts .. . and that you understand them. Air Force ROTC can be an important part of your future .

ROTC Gateway to a great w.ay of life. See Col Tony Seizys 2nd Floor, Kocyan Hall Call 829-0194 or Wilkes ext 371, 372 his students fled the building somewhat frustrated and admitedly frightened. Ms. Greenwood stated that "all of our kids are interested in the supernatural,'. ' and when furhter investigation could produce no "logical" explanation for the strange occurrence of the Friday night noises, members of the program decided to "dig up background information about the previous owners of Ross Hall." The group further inspired by an · abridged article in this winter's publication of the "Quarterly" written by alumnus Ronald Anderson, the article dealt with the interesting history of many of the building on campus. Jackie Boyle, a senior English major-and a member of the Cooperative Education Program associated with the Upward Bound Progra!]l, is assisting the students with their search. So far, they have discovered that the house was built in 1896, and Maria Dunning, the original owner, first inhabited the house in 1897. Upon her death, the house was willed to her second son, Henry, who died 2 months after his mother. Henry, in turn, willed it to somebody by the name of Eliza. This is the farthest Jackie, Bob, and Rose (also a member of Upward Bound) have gotten in their inv~stigation of the Historical Society and the Courthouse records. Progress is reportedly slow, but it will not cease as the group intends to visit local libraries and newspapers in an attempt t<> find more information. They have not yet been able to substantiate the claim that one of the owners was an embezzler and a "con man," whose life ended when he jumped out of the third floor window. Ms. Greenwood has also noted other strange incidences over the past few weeks, such as water faucets being turned on and off when no one was near them, and "snatches of conversation" in empty rooms. It seems everyone at Ross Hall is caught up in the spirit of things, as they attempt to solve "the curse of Ross Hall." Reenie Corbett �I PAGE 4, THE BEACON, MARCH 3, 1978 Recently the men of Denison Hall wrote a letter which appeared in the p_ast issue of The Beacon. The letter expressed their dissatisfaction with the conditions existing in their dorm. Among their complaints were bad heating, bad plumbing, rodents, bugs, and leaky ceilings. When the problems became unbearaf>le the residents of the dorm got together with Dean George Ralston to discuss their problems. They also met with Charles Abate, Roger Jones, and Andrew Shaw. An exterminator was sent to Denison Hall to rid the dorm of what the residents thought were mice. A while after the exterminator had completed the job a dead rat was found in the dorm. Maintenance men have since. been at work taking care oC the problems and "getting the bugs out." Fred Herrmann, resident asst. at Denison, commented that the problems are getting attention 'lnd maintenance is making an effort. He also said th'"At it will probably be a few months before the residents will be certain that the work done is satisfactory. Dean Ralston commented that many problems arise because of the fact the Denison Hall is a very old building which is hard to maintain. Ralston explained that all the problems have pretty well been Shep Sends SOS- Seeks Ski Jacket taken care of and that since all the work orders have been processed and completed he supposes that maintenance has finished. Work done includes checking the heating system and plumbing and exterminating any rodents. Ralston said that one thing is not going to be done, that being repairs to one bathroom because the expense would be too great. · However, Jhe bathroom may be repaired at the end of the semester when it will be decided if it will be worth it to make any more repairs to the building. Ralston s·a id that the buildipg needs total renovation and he's not sure if it would be a wise investment since it is the poorest of all buildings on campus. Louis Czachor "Daniel Flood' s mind is analogous to Philadelphia, I tried to go there once, but it was closed!" To The Editor: The other day, while in a severe state of depression, I came to the horrifing realization t hat us atheists have nobody to pray to in our time of need. This isn't fair, the christians have Christ , the moslems have Allah, and the jews have Bella Abzug, but alas the atheists stand alone. . In view of this I would like to suggest Daniel Flood as a possible canidate for our God. One might ask, " what qualifications does the man have?" to that I could only answer, "the same qualifications that got him where he is today, anyone who hates children and dogs that much can't be all bad." In closing I would like to say that I am very repulsed by all of the Daniel Flood jokes in circulation. Last Monday I overheard a man telling one, of which went as follows: I ask you, "Is this anyway to show respect for a divine and absolute Ruler?" With Greatest Concern Frank P. A.

MARCH 3, 1978, THE BEACON, PAGE 5 PhOtOgtiOf,1,,ff Offers · fCampu$SnoozersSlumber Extra Career O i Wherever The Location A hobby is supposed to be something to do when you are not working, an interest that helps you to relax and forget worries and problems. But sometimes hobbies can turn out to be more, such as a possible career opportunity. · For Bob Gaetano, a junior Fine Arts and Communications major from Mountaintop, his interest in photography grew from merely an interest to a possible career. "It was interesting, and I decided it could be beneficial," he explained. Gaetano first became interest1.--0 in photography last summer, and since then has become qui~ involved with it. Besides serving as Beacon photographer for candid shots (remember the front covers of the February 3 and 10 issues of the Beacon) and for sports events, he has taken pictures and printed film for the Wilkes Public Relations Office, and the Mountaintop Star, Wyoming Valley Observer, and Times Leader Evening News-Record newspapers. He also writes feat ure and sports articles for the Beacon and P .R. Offi<;e, and the entire sports section of the Mountaintop Star. The Mountaintop resident does photography for his former High School, Crestwood Area. Gaetanos' subjects range from outdoor scenes to wrestlers to football and basketball games to rabbits. Using a Nikkonmat camera and 50 millimeter Nikkon lense he has captured the action at many wrestling meets and football games. To Gaetano, getting the fans into the pictures are just as important as the players. The expressions on their faces reflect the mood of the event. "I try to · get the fans in too," he said,"it makes for a better picture, without them it's boring." For basketball games, Gaetano prefers a wide angle lense, a 135 · millimeter zoom lense which brings the subject closer. He usually moves about at games and meets, aiming for iiifferent shots. · NOTICE White Card Workers - The Financial Aid Office, Chase Hall, is looking for a local person with typing ability as well as white card eligibility. Apply, Financial Aid. Jt- . "Nab, What's Up Doc?" Gaetano has used the outdoors as a subject as often as he uses sports. No matter what the season, he finds each has a particular beauty and feeling. Living in Mountaintop, where there are pl_e nty of woodland and forest areas provides a real advantge. "I love just being out of doors, and photography is a way to capture it," he remarked. He has also taken _pictures around the Wilkes campus. "Wilkes is an ideal setting," he added. Rabbits, which he raises at home, and other animals have been the humorous subjects of Gaetanos'camera too. "Ilook for subject and composition," he mentioned. He recently completed photography work on a brochure for the Hahnemann program at Wilkes. In addition, he has developed and printed pictures for the Wilkes ~ollege Alumni Quarterly magazine, and received recognition in the "~ma_teur Wrestling News" magazine in the form of a bv-line ■■•• ZZZZzzzz Oh, •Hi! I ,ve been contemplating a student activity that's been around for a long time, yet never given that much consideration. Now, sleeping in the library, as everyone knows, has always been a classic, but I'd like to discuss a few more points of slumber, offer some meagre suggestions for sleeping habits and even predict some futul'l' resting spots. C~mpus sleeping habits are obvwusly seasonal. In the winter months drowsy students may be found snoring away in the library, slun_iped over a heap of books, resting upon two chairs ("couchlike") or snoozing peacefully in those big comfy arm chairs on the l?wer level. The Darte lounge, ~Irst floor,, loo~s mighty inviting If you don t mind the company of several boisterous music majors, usually hanging out in that area. I would recommend this spot for the hard-nose sleeper who passes off into something log-like as · those drums, horns and pianos can interfere. The S.L.C. ,."100" lounge seems a popular ·resting locale. It does offer several advantages not available in other places and the facilities are excellent as many students seem t-o get lost in those big, soft cushions. There is a little matter of "traffic" in that area, but nothing serious. In fact, passers by might serve as "alarm clocks" for the benefit of those passing time between classes. In contrast the library offers a mor; "permanent" solitude as one could disappear among the jungle of desks and chairs once the head was down and not be found for days! position and use your arm as a head rest, after all, that's what it's there for, right? Don't suck your thumb as it might give others the same bad habit and just think. of the germs! Dro~ling in one's sleep has never made a hit, try to av~id it. This college is rated PG, lets keep it that way, O.K.? If y~u tend to talk in your sleep, do It at your own risk. Others around you are not responsible_ for what they hear, or for keeping it to themselves once they've heard it for that matter. And please try to censor the naughty words! I hope these few tips will produce more creditable sleepers in the future. Always remember; "Bad snoozers are losers!" Projected 1 predict that for the sake of variety students may pioneer some new sleeping dimensions. The couch in W eckesser Hall (first floor) looks promising, but may prove "disagreeable" in yet another sense. Don't even try the chairs in the Commons, they're terribly indifferent! The hoagie counter looks like a good prospect, however, and when the hoagies disappear each day, nobody does anything with it anyway. Kirby Hall lounges seem very peaceful, but watch out for the little crawly things, I hear they're "very" affectionate! There's not much to be said for the cement slab outside the Commons, and I hope I never see anyone crazy enough to stop there! What's that? Have "I" frequented these spots? And afterall how would "I" know the best places to sleep? If you are anxiously awaiting an answer to that question, just look for the nut on the cement slab some day! Pam Long �PAGE 6, THE BEACON, MARCH S, 1978 118 . This weifht class is loaded! With six o the top seeds from last year returning, it should be one of the most intense and competitive of all the classes. Gene Mills of Syracuse is the defending champ and he will be the clear-cut favorite to retain his title. But it won't be a one man show with .the talent on .hand like R on Keane (Cornell), Steve Bastianelli (Lehigh), Tom Coleman (Army), Bill Hawley (Princeton), and Mitchell Vance (Temple. Ed Johnson has the talent but not the experience to place in this class. BRYAN BILLIG 126 There is no obvious favorite in this weight class, but with Lance Lenhardt of Lehigh gone, there will be a new champion crowned this year. Look for Guy Dugas and Greg Shoemaker to meet in the finals. Dugas (Syracuse) is the stronger of the two but Shoemaker is a very clever wrestler from East Stroudsburg State. It should make for quite a battle. Wilkes' freshman sensation Bryan Billig has· a real good shot at finishing high in this category with a strong challenge from Lehigh's Doug Hetrick. . EIWA Tourney Opens Today 134 Tlfls is a wide open category, with the top three placewinne~ from last year having graduated. , Syracuse has two wrestlers at ~ this slot in the lineup, Jim Slat\' tery who is trying to drop from ~142, or Randy Gillette. Whichever ~ \\'f one wrestles for the Oran gem en will definitely be in the running. for the title. Doug Parise (Temple) and Kip Brown (Franklin and Marshall) will also be in t he thick of things. If Alex Grohol was healthy, he could win it, but. PAT freshman Pat O'Callaghan O'CALLAGHAN doesn't have the experience for tournament competition. 142 This is another wide open weight class in this year's tournament, with a few big "ifs" making events interesting. If Princeton's Steve Grubbman can drop from 150, he will be the odds-on favorite to unseat returning defending champ Steve Tray-. !or of Yale. If Jim Slattery of - ----..---.=- Syracuse cannot drop to 134, he ------==~ will also be in the running. Colonel's Casper Tortella has a very good shot at placing high in _ this category and stirring up the action a bit. CASPER TORTELLA MARK DENSBERGER 150 'The two top placewinners from last year have departed. Bruce Kessel (East Stroudsburg State) has graduated and Steve Grubbman is trying to go down a weight If Grubbman fails to get down to 142, he will be the favorite at 150. Colonel standout Mark Densberger could go all the way if he stays healthy throughout the entire tourney. Challenges · will come from Lehigh's Jeff Allega'r, Navy's Paul Supchak, and Jody McMullen of East Stroudsburg State. 7// l 177 · Mark Lieberman of Lehigh has this one wrapped up without breaking a sweat. He is the returni ng defending champ and will be a $trong contender for the national title. Keith Ely finished second last year and the same will probably ·happen again this year. The Princtonian .kept Wilkes' Bart Cook from the finals last season with a quick pin in the semis. The remaining spots are open, but t he Colonels' Doug .Drescher, filling ifi for injured Perry Lichtinger, does not have the experience DOUG DRESCHER necessary. The -consolation rounds also play an important role in the final analysis. For example, the Colonels finished only a single point away from third place last year without a single champion and only one runnerup (Lon Balum). . Strong teams without individual standouts like Wilkes, Temple, and Navy can still be counted very much in the running for the team championship. Reese is co\rnting heavily on Mark Densberger (150), Gene Clemons (167), and Dan House (HWT) to end up in the finals . He is also hoping to land Bryan Billig (126), Casper Tortella (142) , and Dave Gregrow (190) qualifying spots for the National Tournament in two weeks. If Greg MacLean (158) can snap out of his slump, he could also qualify for that tourney. Every little bit helps and the freshmen in the lineup (Drescher, Johnson, and O'Callaghan) could chip in very nicely to the Colonel cause. The Colonels have not been wrestling well lately, splitting their last four matches. They beat Rutgers and Bucknell but were defeated by East Stroudsburg and Penn State. · Reese is hoping that the mild slump that saw the Colonel record drop to 14-6-1 is only the lull before the storm. They own victories over Lehigh, Syracuse, and Navy; three of the EIWA top teams. Their challenge this weekend will be to show that the smallest Division I team in the country is ready to stand up and be counted among the best. Jeff Acomley Miss Glawe set th_e pace from the very start as she led in all three rounds of the womens diving competition at Widener College. Throughout her four years of diving for the school, Cindy has garnered a third place finish as a freshman, a second place finish as a sophomore, another second as a junior, and finally the beloved first place gold -medal as a senior in the MAC Tournament. This is quite an accomplishment for a diver who has never had professional instruction. Cindy stated, "Wilkes does not have a diving coach and this does hurt our swimming and diving program. If it wasn't for Joel Abate and Paul Niedzwiecki (two 1974 teammates of Cindy's), 190 · Lehigh has dominated this weight class for a long time and will continue to do so. Don McCorkel has graduated but his championship will be garnered by another Lehigh man. Mike Brown should n'ot have too much trouble breezing to the 190 title. Dave Gregrow will have a real good shot at finishing very high if his health doesn't stand in t he _ way. Challenging Gregrow will be Carmen Morino of Temple and Craig Blackman of Franklin and Marshall. DAVE GREGROW HWT_ 'This category should also see some tremendous competition throughout the tournament. The Colonels now have two of last year's placewinners on their team in Dan House and Bob Matzelle, who is red-shirting this season. Princeton's John Sefter is the defending champion and is heavily favored again in this heavy class. House should finish very high again this year with challenges comjng from Lehigh's Mike Newbern and Mike Rotunda of Syracuse. DAN HOUSE ''S'' Playoffs This Week; Gold Medal Performance In MAC Tourney By Glawe Last weekend at the 1978 MAC Swimming and Diving Championships, Wilk es' Cindy Glawe set a new MAC record in the women's diving competition with a total of 291 points. This win gave Cindy the ultimate award in her collegiate career as a diver, a "Gold Medal" fjrst place finish. In addition to her new MAC record and gold medal win, Miss Glawe set a milestone in the Wilkes College sports record book by being .the first Wilkes aquanaut ever to win a gold medal in MAC competition.

Cindy has been a letterwoman since her freshman year, thus winning an MAC diving championship is an excellent way to bid farewell to a sterling career. BobAusura "B" league playoffs start this week, and the following teams according to our Las Vegas line, are the ones which should be causing the most trouble for the 16 remaining teams, which qualified for a spot in the post season round robin. BOMBERS - boasting such players as high scoring gunner Pete Cosgrove, the Bombers certainly have enough fire power. Bob Kacerosky and Mike Brady line up at forwards to complete the front line. Mike Briel is another top player. The Bombers could be extremely tough is Cosgrove ever crosses half court to play defense. SOFIAS BAR AND GRILL the cinderella club of 1978. Eddie Heyduck is the man to watch, but well rounded SB & G attack can be counted on to fill any gaps in the scoring column should he lose it. They shocked the worls when they beat STARS AND BARS, who at that time were rated No. 1, by one point in OT. BUCKAROOS - the Bucks are comprised of a bunch of off season Smegmas, who couldn't take the action in the A LEAGUE. Bernie W ellicka is the teams leading scorer at forward, while Broadway Greg Tomcho is a key man at the point guard. Lefty Levitch, winner of the slam dunk contest, can also be counted on for some support, whenever Scott Sultzer screws up.

Jhe Wµk~ College197}·78 basketball season was very disappointing, and Coach Rodger Bearde had the guts to tell it like it is after being questioned on this year's cage season. · Many things went wrong during the 5-18 year, the worst since 1964. On the dark side, the • Colonels dropped two one and two p~int losses and one three-point defeat. On the bright side, the Blue and Gold beat . a tough Albright College team, 75-68 in overtime at the Lions own den. Wilkes also dropped a heartbreaking 66-64 game to Division II power Philadelphia Textile on a last second shot at the Wilkes gym. In that contest Wilkes 6-8 center Jeff Baird tallied a career high 26 points. Remember fans, John ZaJ?ko was not playing yet when Wilkes meet H erb Magee's Rams. · But Bearde is already looking toward next year with t he hopes of t urning the cage,. program around and in a hurry. " We have some fine men coming back, and I guarantee we will go all out in t he recruiting wars," added Bearde. The nine probable ret urnees are: JOH N ZAPKO - who Bearde calls the " Hub" of next year's squad; J EFF BAIRD - who has the height and t ools to be a dominant figure in the MAC; freshman Mike McCarrie - who had to be t he most pleasant surprise of t he yeat for Wilkes; ARTIE MEIGH - a sweet shootin guard ready to make a move; DONNY " SKY" WINDER - out of the Dave Cowens mold, will go through a brickwall to win a game; E D VAN BUREN - as cool on the court as he is on the radio; GEORGE OSCHAL - a former Wyoming Ar ea All-S ch ola stic who has a lot of ability; RICKY MARSHALL, like Winder, a hustler, will do anything to win; and John Stevens (not Stephens), who just needs the experience. Coach Bearde said he would like. to instill in -his club for next year a full mental toughness. "We don't want to be sky-high after beating Lock Haven or do we want to be low-down if we lose to Del Val. We want to try to get an even balance, · this will be better for the club," commented Bearde. The Colonel cage mentor has already started PHASE I on his recruiting game plan. He along with ace scout Bernie Vinovrski have received replies from the New York and Philadelphia areas. Bearde and Vinovrski are going up to the Big Apple this Sunday to catch four championship high school games. - Both will now begin to zero-in on some of the top-notch high school area talent. Bearde feels this year' s class of seniors has to rank as one of the finest crops to ever come along. He is interested in many of the local standouts, but six come to mind faster than the others. They are, alphabetically, George Aldrich Pittston Area, Dave Ca pin W. V. W ., Tony Decker G.A.R., Mike Keeney Bishop Hoban, Pat McCue W.V.W., and big Ron Zynel of Meyers. In this group. Bearde hopes to find the players who will be the key for Wilkes in the next four years. Aldrich is .a fine overall player from Gene Guarilla's championship team. He is oue of the finest area players without the ball. Capin has one of the finest turn-around, fade-a-way jumpers this side of Dick Barnett. Decker was the AA League's MVP last year as a junior and is a good choice to repeat. He is a very good ball handler and outside shooter. Keeney was Bishop Hoban's main man throughout the year, and enjoyed one of the finest second halfs of any of the ballplayers. ,. .. ; . .~. .

This past weekend the combined Debate - Forensic Units of the Debate Union, under the direction of Dr. Bradford L. Kinney traveled to Dickinson College for competition. The members of " Kinney Kids" proved that they can meet any level of competition and win. The Dickinson Invitational Tournament saw 11 senior colleges and universities get together for two days of competition. Wilkes finished in third place behind Princeton and the University of Virginia. Both schools have well-established and funded programs. Wilkes was not satisfied with this victory and won five more. Davida Roberts was a finalist in three of the Forensic competitions. Roberts won second place in Expository Rhetoric, second in Mixed Oral Interpretation of Literature and fifth place in Informative Speaking. In addition, David Evans captured a third place finish in Persuasive Oratory and a fifth place in Informative Speaking. The Debate Squad soundly beat the Dickinson College Debate Team.

Donna Grontkowski received 41 votes over write-in candidate Ru t h Zukowski with 36 votes for the office of treasurer. A run-off election is needed because' of the 84 ballots cast only 79 were registered. With the difference in this race questionable because of the five unaccounted for votes, the run-off was held yesterday. Results will be posted today. In next year's sophomore class, McNamara defeated incumbent Dana Schaffer by a 52 to 16 margin for the office of president. For vice-president, Tom McDonald was re-elected over John Moffatt and Joe Rubbico. Carol Benek was the only canidate for secretary receiving 55 votes, the most votes in her class and of the election in general. Peggy Sweeney was elected treasurer over Donna Fitt and · Bill Stusnick in the closest race on campus. Sweeney tallied 23 with Fitt and Stusnick tied at 20. Only 73 ballots were cast for this election. Salmonellosis Claims Total Of Eighteen Eighteen cases of salmonellosis (commonly referred to as Salmonella) have been confirmed at the College since outbreaks of the illness first were reported last month. According to Dean Jane Lampe, the infirmary is "continuing to see students with evidence of gastro-intestional distress." In addition, tests are still being conducted by the Board of Health and the College is still waiting for word on other samples not yet returned. Also, . the investigation as to t he possible source of the bacterium is continuing, and the latest word from M.W.Wood, the College's food service, is that as of March 4, "all food history studies, all the hundreds of food samplings and the on site inspections have given no clue to t he cause." This was revealed in a let, continued on p. 2 --------so--------~ Activity Fee May Be Raised Student Goverment voted in favor of raising the student activity fee by five dollars to thirty dollars a year. This was done after the executive council presented to the body a report of the requests from student organizations for next year. Since most requests were considerably higher over last year's grants, it was generally agreed that a higher activity fee was needed. After some discussion, a vote was taken with 20 voting in favor and two opposed. A second motion was made by Jack Mundy to raise the fee another five dollars to $35. Mundy argued that with more money, Student Goverment and other student organizations could benefit the students even more. Larry Assilita, SG vice-president, pointed out that to raise the fee to . KENNEDY'S CHILDREN -The Cue 'n' Curtain in connection wiin the Theater Department will present Robert Patrick's play . "Kennedy's Children" this weekend, March 10 through 12 in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The play takes place in the 1970s in a bar named "Phoebe's." The plot deals with the effect of the 1960s and the Kennedy Era on the six members of the cast. The.characters rely on monologues to reveal their thoughts to the audience. These characters are everyday people who were influenced by the events occurring in the 1960s. The audience will be included as part of the play by being seated at tables and chairs placed on the stage. Randy Smith, a Wilkes graduate, is director of the play with scenery designs by Leo Gambaco,ta, another Wilkes graduate. Reservations are required since ther will be limited seating at each performance. Times for the performances are 8 p.m. tonight ; 8:30 p;m. tomorrow and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Students are allowed one free ticket per Wilkes ID. Additional tickets may be purchased at a price of one dollar. · Shown at rehearsal are the members of the cast: Lynn 8are, Cindy Morrell, Paul Gallagher and seated at the bar: John Forte, Carl Edwards and Adele Ann Tavella. Parking Ticket Book · To Cost $2 Extra I t was announced earlier this semester that a new parking sticker system would be initiated for commuters. The new plan was to have suppli~ a book of 20 tickets at a cost of 10 dollars per book. The tickets could be used on any car at any time, making it easier for commuter to form carpools, in addition to being cheaper than the old system. This new system has since gone into effect, but the price is 12 dollars per book. Louis DeRobertis, Commuter Council president, said that he does not understand why the price was changed, especially since the offer the Parking Authority made at its meeting was 10 dollars and t hat the local newspapers also reported that t he cost would be 10 dollars. He said that he was not aware of the problem until after the beginning of this month and he is not sure if the Parking Authority has had its meeting for this month. Therefore, he will try to find an explanation for the" mixup" as he called it at next month's meetinl!'. Louis Czachor $35 a year, one must demonstrate the need to do so. The $30 fee could sufficiently meet all the recommended grants to the various student organizations. A vote was taken in which 10 were in favor, 11 opposed with one abstention. The vote by SG to raise the activity fee by five dollars must be approved by the finance committee but this is usually the case. The activity fee has not been raised since 1971. At next week's meeting the body will approve of the recommended grants to the various student organizations . . In other business, SG handled quite a few large fund requests. These came after Frank Scancerella, SG treasurer, reported that there, is only $3,102 left to spend by SG. Expenses for the Cherry Bloss um Week end, the Teacher Evaluation Forms booklets, and a possible concert subsidy if there is a concert have already been taken out. The fund requests went as follows: 1) Commuter Council requested $500 to keep the ticket price of the St. Patrick's Day party at $5 because of skyrocketing food costs. It was granted with a 16 to 7 vote. 2)Music Educators National Convention (MENC) requested $1,312 for 25 people to attend the convention in Chicago. This money would only pay for thier train fare. This was defeated. A motion was then made to grant them $875 but this was also defeated. A t hird motion was made to grant them $425. The vote ended in a tie; 11-11 with one abstention. Carl H olsberger, SG president, voted in favor to break the tie. 3)Circle K requested $400 to help pay for their expenses when t hey attend a convention in Valley Forge. They were granted $200. 4)TDR sorority requested $200 to help pay for their senior farewell p.rty and new member initiation. This was granted by a vote of 19-3. In committee reports, Dave Evans, academic committee chairman, reported that letters are being written to .department chairman to find out what teachers taught the courses that were listed as "staff' on the evaluation forms. He also discussed the fact that the committee is working on this semester's evalua tion with the necessary changes trying to be worked out.

The P arking Au t hority of Wilkes-Ba r re ap p roved CC ' s proposal to switch from a nontransferrable mont hly parking sticker to daily coupons in J anuary. This was done so t he commuter could be able to form car pools much more easily. The new system was also designed to be less expensive than the monthly stickers and CC had the impression that when the policy was approved so was the price. CC proposed to sell a booklet of m coupons at ten dollars and, therefore, a 50 cents per day rate. However, now t hat the policy is in effect, the booklet of 20 costs 12 dollars. This makes the new system more expensive t han the monthly stickers. No one on t he Council knows exactly why t he price is 12 dollars a llooklet and not 10 dollars as proposed and accepted. It is also conceivable - t hat a student may run out of coupons before t he month is over and not be able to obtain new coupons because t he booklets will only be sold at t he beginning of each m()nth. Louis DeRobertis, CC president, g av e li ttle reac tion over t he w-hole situa tion after being the chief supporter of t he new plan. He told t he council that t hey are checking in!o it a_nd will set up a nother meetmg with the P arking Aut hority. " They made a simple thing hard" was one of the on ly comm ent s DeRobertis made. In other business, it was reported that the price per ticket for t ~e St. Patrick's Day P arty is 5 dollars. T he reasons for this high price are skyrocketing food costs and an unexpected cover charge from Gus Genetti's, where the party is being held. The ba nd " P hoenix" will perform and the menu includes swedish meatballs, ham and chicken for tonight's Lrish gig. DeRobertis reported that 10 tickets have already been sold for the Yankees baseball game bus trip to be held Saturd ay, April 15. Tickets may be p_urchased in the Commons dunng lunch hours daily from now un til the game. Just before t he meeting was ad jou r n ed one r epres entative expressed a complaint over t he recent Concert and Lecture Series presentation by Vincent Price. " I was really annoyed because I had to leave. It is just not fair to t he students since part of their tuition is paying for it," said Sue Fischer. S he feels t he s tudents should have some precedence to even ts lik e t hi s ov er t he com muni ty. T he presen_tation was held in the CP A and it was estimated t ha t as many people were forced to leave as those that remained to see t he show. Jim Edwards I a ' EXHIB IT OPENS - Uavid L.

However, there is much more to this story and this girl which the sports page neglected. As most people are unaware, © J 976 Gary Hoff man diving is a sport of perfect coordination, exact precision, and a great amount of concentration.

It all started for Cindy back at Meyers High School where she had been a member of the swim team and decided to compete in diving. She was only required to do six dives as compared to the 11 she needs for college competition. There was no diving coach to help Cindy or the other team diver but according to Cindy "We just learned them by teaching each other." She dove competitively for her team her junior and senior years. Then Cindy came to Wilkes and naturally joined the swim team. Again t here was no diving coach FOUR-LEAi' CLOVERS .. . but t he other two divers on the team, Joe Aba te and Paul Above is Cindy Glawe, MAC diving champ, standing next to a Niedzwiecki, taught her the five diving board that she practiced on, fought with, concentrated on, optional dives needed for coland won on. legiate competition.

Now that her diving career is over, Cindy has a lot of great memories about diving and the swim team. According to Cindy "The best parts were the trips down and back to away swim meets because it gave everyone a chance to be themselves." (Only members of the swim team will know what that means.) Her life doesn't end on the board, however. The nursing major from Indian Lake is also an avid skier. She recently won a bronze medal in Nastar competition out in Michigan and is an active member of the Polar Bear club on campus. Just recently named to "Who's Who", Cindy is the resident assistant of Chapman Hall. She also ~eived the "Hit The Chick" award from the Inter-Dormitory Council for breaking up a fight at the fall Block oarty. She is a unique person and things seem to fall right into place for her. One week last fall stands out in mind particularly. On Thursday, Sept. 29, she became engaged. On Saturday, Oct. 1, she turned 21 and naturally celebrated both occasions. To top it off, on Sunday, Oct. 2, it was announced that she was nominated for Homecoming Queen. Cindy will be graduating in the spring, getting married in the fall, and hopefully working as a nurse in Michigan next year. With her fantastic personality, super smile, and t he smart head on her shoulders, she'll go far. When asked if she regrets anything, she said "When I graduate I'll miss this place but while I was here I took advantage of it, and enjoyed it."

In the Division 4 semi-final, the Worms (Joe Wilkes 12 points), took highly-favored Stars and Bars into overtime before dropping a tough one, 40-39. Big John Edwards was the key man for S & B with eight second half points, including two free throws at the end of the overtime period to win it. A major blow was dealt to S & B title hopes, earlier this week when it was learned that their leading rebounder and statistician, Chris the Flake Drake, had suffered a broken leg and will be lost (as usual) for the rest of the year. In the other Division 4 semifinal, Sofia's Bar and Grill lit up the Residual Bongers with a nine point spurt in the last two minutes to pull out a shakey 4435 win. Mark Clifford made the most noise ' for Sofia's, scoring 16 points, while George Carey was the highest Bonger with 12. Sofia's will now meet Stars and Bars in a · much awaited rematch to determine who will represent Division 4 in playoff action. In some other first round contests, the M.P.'s (Chip Pufko. 22 points, 4 fouls, 1 black eye) needed a desperation tap-in at the buzzer by Rich Karo to nip Sleezy AMF, 57-56. Joe Rauschmayer (14 pts.) and Irwin Izen (20 points) keyed the Sleazy second half comeback, which saw Joe sink two clutch free throws with : 06 left in regulation to go ahead, 56-55. M. P. Lenny Vekkos then tossed out a 30 footer that missed, but Karo was in the right spot at the right time to avoid the upset. The M. P.'s wll now square off with the Bombers, who advanced via a 6554 win over lntervarsity, (Joe Torre, 25 points). Mike Briel led the balanced Bomber attack with 15 points. Elsewhere, the Buckaroo's (Bobby Thompson, 14 pts.) downed the Old York Inn of Somerville, N.J., 56-38 . The Harriers, led by Don Patrick's 24 points, cut off the Chickenhawks (Rick Leandri, 22) 64-52, and PREP H, despite a 47 point performance by Bill Snakely Gore, won a tight one, 72-49.

Martet St, Wilkes-Barre -,. t - �Lacrosse And Baseball Teams Head South Diamondmen Head For Virginia To Slim Down Suncoast Invitational Tests Colonel Stickmen Baseball Coach Gene Domzalski's Blue and Gold diamondmen are getting ready for their "Close Encounters of the Southern Kind." Wilkes will go sonth during the Easter Break in hopes of getting some much "'1eeded practice out-of-doors. The Colonels will play six games on the road trip, five in Virginia and one in North Carolina. Coach Domzalski reports that 48 players are out for this year's squad and only 23 will be making the trip sout h. The 48 athletes have been working out in t he Wiikes Gym for t hree hours everyday, while work is being done on Artillery Park. The team will meet Eastern Mennonite College on Thursday, March 16 in Virginia. Following that contest, they will . play a doubleheader with Lynchburg Baptist Bible College on Friday. Wilkes will go to the land of the Tar Heels and Wolfpack on Monday to meet Campbell College in a single game. They will close the southern swing with a DH against Richmond Univ:ersity on Wednesday in Virginia. The Colonel menotr, building a reputation for himself as one of the top Division III baseball coaches in the country, said the trip will mostly be a "learning experience" for the younger players and a "refresher" for the veterans. He also mentioned that the sole purpose of the trip is not to come back without a Joss (which would not be too bad), but to get good competition and work hard. He also said that everyone <vho goes south will play, and the most t he pitchers will throw a game is three innings. Domzalski, along with assistants Jerry Bavitz and Tony Schwab, and the three senior co-captains will decide which players make the trip. "it is going to be a tough choice, we have so many fine ball-players," added Domzalski.He also stated that he is looking for the best athletes available to do the job this year for Wilkes. According to Domzalski no positions are set, but first base and centerfield are the two most wide-open spots. He hopes that the trip south will help him and his coaching staff get a set line-up in time for the April 1 season-opener [Allentown Coll~e at 1 p.m. at Artillery Park in a doubleheader]. Pitching 1s also a big question for Wilkes, as the team lost Jim Stehle (6-1) and Manny Evans (6-1) from last year's 20-4 team. Four lettermen pitchers form last year's team will be counted on heavily this year: Andy Kresky; Barry Harcharufka; Danny Pisarcik; and Carl DeFelice. The captains for the upcoming year are Bill Hockenbury ss, Lou Elefante dh, and Kenny Suchoski catcher. Second base and third base were nailed down by Terry Schoen and Dave Hungarter last season, and someone will have to fill Don McDermott's v:lcancy at first. Wilkes returns its left and right fielders in Billy P olaha and Steve Grasley. Centerfield is also open due to the departure of Mike Supczenski. Wilkes will try to get everything straightened out during the trip . south, and hopefully come back north with a line-up and bench ready to rip through the Middle Atlantic Conference. Eddie White III If anyone has passed by Ralston Field recently and wondered if Wilkes has opened an ice-skating rink, DON'T WORRY! Its the Wilkes College lacrosse team getting an early start on the season under newly-appointed head coach Jon Hobrock. The Colonel stickmen have been practicing on the field since they convinced t he maintainence crew to plow the snow from it two weeks ago. The Blue a nd Gold stickmen will depart " beautiful N.E. Penna." during the spring break and head south to Florida for their annual sout hern swing in preparation for the upcoming season. Coach Hobrock and the ColQnels are anxious to get started and the overall season outlook is optomistic, as the Wilkesmen will try to improve last year's 4-6 slate. Hobrock is not a first-year coach by any means, as he coached in the college ranks for 18 years and enters his tenth season at Wilkes. Coach Hobrock attended Kenyon College, where he achieved AllConference and all-midwest status, and was also one of the school's all-time leading scorers. The past two season's he has served as an assistant to Notre Dame grad Chuck Mattei and his career coaching record is a respectable 12-6. The 1978 edition of the lacrosse team returns many fine performers, including four seniors, four juniors, and five sophomores. John Lack, a senior from Saugerties, N.Y. and Bruce Davis, a senior from Boonton, N.J. will co-captain the 1978 stickmen. " Lack is a natural-born leader and also captained the football team and his strength and quickness enables him to be a top defensive player, " said Hobrock. Davis, an excellent midfielder will try to regain his strength after an injury last season. Davis was a high school All-American and has been selected to the collegiate All-Conference team three times. Coach Hobrock comments, "Bruce has a quick release and his strong shooting capabilities which should allow him to gain his fourth honor." Davis averages three goals a game for Wilkes in his career. Senior Bill Abrams, a mid-fielder, and Greg Wild, attackmen, are both quick and could challenge for starting roles. Junior Bernie Donachie is a top defensive performer and his 6-2, 190 frame made him an All-Conference choice last season. Mid-fielders Jim O' Neil and Brain Blesi will add to the Blue and Gold scoring punch. Bob Tayler is another top prospect from last years club. Hobrock thinks junior Andy Dutch · or freshman Craig Brisbane will take over the goalie position. Since Bill Harris · was lost through graduation, the spot is empty. "They both have looked very impressive and whoever gets the nod is capable of doing a fine job", said Hobrock. Other yearlings who may win starting spots are Charlie Zezza, Todd Noll, and Peter Maxwell- Assisting Hoborck with coaching chores are Bill MacArthur defensive coordinator and former Wilkes lacrosse star Fred Lohman. The Colonels will get their initial test when they compete in the SUNCOAST INVITATIONAL in Tampa, Florida. Wilkes will meet Kenyon on March 17, Michigan State on the 19th, Holy Cross on the 21, Ohio Wesleyan on March 22, and RPI on March 23. Hobrock hopes to make a good showing in the prestigious tourney before returning north to take on Dickinson on April 1. Although a young team, Coach Hobrock doesn't refer to it as a total year of rebuilding. With proper balance of upperclassmen, incoming freshman and five returning juniors who started last year, things look really bright for the 1978 stickmen.

The President added, "We have taken a close hard look at our budget in an effort to hold down expenses, but certain costs must be met to offer a quality education at the college." · We are working very closely with our Financial Aid Office to provide students · and parents with a listing of all scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment programs which are available to them and which hopefully will enable students to meet the increased costs,'' Capin said. Currently, 80 percent of Wilkes students receive aid in various forms, amounting to over $3. 7 million. This amount includes $500,00 awarded annually by the College itself to augment the financial aid packages of 780 students. Parking Coupons Will Be Sold For Ten Dollars CC.SG Presidential Elections Tues. Women Rllnning For CC Presidenc In nominations for next year's Commuter Council President, Denise Strickland and Stella Korpusik were both nominated at Monday afternoon's CC meeting. The election is this Tuesday, April 11 in the Commons from 111. Speaking with Ure candidate/3 after the meeting, they both offered various ideas and criticisms. Korpusik, a fine arts major from Wilkes-Barre, has been on Commuter Council for one year and is currently corresponding secretary. She cited her plans by saying "my main interest is to work for the student". She would like to continue where current president Louie DeRobertis, has left off because she feels this year has been "very productive". Next year's council budget has been made to allow for the four Holiday parties; Halloween, Christmas, St. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day to be held off campus. When asked to comment, she said that it is definitely more expensive to hold the parties off campus and added "you can have fun with the parties on campus if the students decided and participated more." The Halloween party which was held on campus was not a success because of this reason. "We have achieved a lot and I think he ( DeRobertis) was good as far as getting things done and keeping the council together." were her comments on this year's council. She stressed that the unity of.the council and enjoying working together were important and sbe hope that if she was elected that the same thing will happen next year. "Students should not fall second to what the administration wants, students should be first" says Korpusik. Stella Korpusick Denise Strickland Besides being involved in CC, she is a member of the Human Service Committee, First Aid Team, Krate Club, TDR soroity, Cue 'n' Curtain, which she is secretary of, and is active with the Theater program here at the college. Denise Strickland, a biology major froni Plymouth, has been on the council for three years and Continued on P. 5 Senatore, Kirshner To Vie For SG Office John Senatore and Steve Kirschner were nominated for Student Government president for the academic year of 1978-79 at Monday night's SG meeting. Dave Blumefield, a class of 80 representative, was also nominated but because he was elected to SG as a replacement and has not yet served a full term, he could not run. . Before nominations were open Carl Holsberger, SG president and Dean Edward Baltinchitus, both described the responsibilities of the job explaining that there are many weekly meetings to attend along with putting up with the faculty , administration, and students. Holsberger said "it is more than just running a meeting. " A debate between the two candidates will be held Sunday in the SUB at 7:30 p.m. All interested students are urged to attend. Election for the presidency will be held Tuesday from 11-1 in the Commons and from 4: 30 to 6: 30 in the cafeteria. (For candidate platforms see separate story). Toczylowski Running Nominations for next year's officers were held at Sunday's . IDC meeting. With the exception of Treasurer, one person was nominated for each position. Gary Toczylowski, this year's vice-president, is the sole candidate for president. Toczylowski is a junior envirnmental science major from Scranton. · He is currently an RA in Slocum Hall. The Vice-president nominee is Michael Sibilia. Donna Whitmore is running unopposed for Recording Secretary while Monica Krammer is running for Corre- sponding Secretary. The two candidates for Treasurer are Diane Brodbeck and Denise Ewald. IDC elections will be held on Tuesday, April 11 along with the SG and CC elections. IDC ballots will be available at the same hours and places as the other elections. The academic calendar for the 1978-79 school year was announced at IDC. The IDC representatives voted unanimously in favor of sponsoring a representative for one dollar Steve Kirshner John Senatore The fee for a coupon book of tickets at Park and Lock has been changed for the third time by the Wilkes-Barre City Parking Authority, this time back to $10-at least for the remainder of this school year. The Authority decided in January to allow Wilkes students to purchase a book of tickets for $10 rather than pay for a monthly $12 sticker. The following month it reversed its decision on the price and raised it to $12. Commuter Council, represented by Louis DeRobertis and Diane Marcinko, returned to the Authority to request that the fee be changed back to $10. · Next year, it is expected that the coupon book will be offered for $12 and a $15 sticker will also be sold. A problem that resulted from the purchase of coupons reportedly was that students did not understand that the book must be purchased at the beginning of the month, although the tickets could be used until the end of the school year. Coupons also must be handed in to a parking attendent each time the student leaves the facility, while greaterfreedom was possible with the sticker. According to a local newspaper story, the Parking Authority will permit coupon books to be sold for $10 until June 1. However, few students are expected to purchase books for May since classes end in mid-month. Commuter Council was allowed to sell books for April up until yesterday, but reportedly was planning to purchase a few extra books to accomodate students who failed to buy the coupons on time. Wilma Hurst On The Cover When asked to personally endorse a candidate for next year's office, Holsberger said "The fac;ts will speak for themselves, the person who has shown the most responsibility and most leadership should be elected. I endorse the person who has shown the most responsibility.' He did make a comment Continued on P. 2 You probably think that's a picture of two ducks on the frant cover, right?

Junior Biology S.G. Representative, 2 years Co-Chairman of Social Committee, 1 year SUB representative, 1 year Platform : I. Communication gap between students and S.G. A. As representatives of the student body it is our responsibility to see that the interests of the students are expressed to the administration and vice versa. There is a communication gap. The gap exsists between the stude~ts and their. gover~ment. ( Student Government) Here are some ideas to abridge this gap : 1. Meetings with club and class officers to be held with selected S.G. representatives twice a month. 2. Presidents' news letter - to inform students of current S.G. events. 3. Greater publicity of S.G. meetings being open to the public. II. Functioning Problems of S.G. A. Proper allocations of funds to organization and clubs have always been a problem within the student government body. We often make the mistake of granting large sums of money to many organizations early in the academic year, leaving a small amount of money (for organizations and special events) at the end of the year. Ways to avoid this problem : 1. Revised funding reports 2. Strick tabs on funding. ( How much is given for academic requests or social, etc.) B. Many problems are due to inadequate enforcement of the constitution. 1. Enforcing the dutes of the standing committees as written in the Student Government Constitution have been neglected. These .duties must be enforced for proper organization and vunction of each committee. · III . Expansion of Student Governments involvement with the administration. 1. Reviewing policies - such as the party policy or visitati(!n policy. . 2. More say on tuition and room and board mcreases. ~ I\ S ~~~:r~:~ :/· MON _& THURS. 10AM · 9PM DAILY 10AM · S:30 PM I ROLL STARS / PIXS - TV STARS ETC.

The contest ran for two days, covering argumentation and debate and all forms of public speaking. The Wilkes unit continued its record-breaking success story by picking up two major awards. Senior Marcia Stratton secured a third place finish in the expository discourse competition, while the entire squad won the fourth place overall victory. This marks the first time since 1956 that the College has received state honors. Members of the squad who brought home the honor were David Evans, Jack Lambert, Davida Roberts, Marcia Stratton and Ann Sharkey. The debate-forensic unit has won 55 trophies so far this year, with seven of them coming a few weeks ago at Shippensburg State College. Wilkes defeated Princeton, University of Maryland, Penn State and Virginia Military Institution to win the coveted first place position in parliamentary debate. The forensic also piled up a number of trophies to help Wilkes earn fourth place in the tournament.

I had arrived 45 minute.s early to the Vincent Price lecture and the place was already packed. After fighting my way through the crowd, I was able to secure a comfortable seat in the aisle and enjoyed the rest of the lecture with knees up to chin. Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky with the Mel Blanc lecture, where I couldn't fit in the back of the packed lecture hall. There has to be a ~tter way.

Besides, which event has the greater demand and attendance. The organizers of the lecture series (whoever they may be ) should have realized after the Vincent Price lecture, that attendance for the Mel Blanc presentation would probably be just as great and should have made arrangements for the use of the gym. I am aware that past lectures in the gym were poorly attended ; in particular the Pearl Bailey lecture, but that case differs in that Bailey may not have had universal appeal (not something to bring the kids to) and it didn't have the advertising the two recent lectures did.

Country music had been respectable, the "cow-boy days' and old-fashionedways kind of string-pickin stuff. Then something happened when a ·small group of musiciansdecided to change all that. They stormed the country music business with a revolution of new sounds. They were called "The Outlaws." Michael Bane's book "The Outlaws" tells the whole story, from idea to action. It's the "diary" of the rising of such wellknowns as Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Tompall Glaser, "Cowboy" Jack Clement and Waylon Jennings. It begins with the early Nashville scenes, the pinball arcades where the outlaw fever first generated its heat. Some of the having them all off campus.

Then Nashville took another turn around and the result was the 1950's gang, including Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. Unable to compete with such energetic youths, Nashville then turned to "crooning". Some popular figures include the music of Sonny James, Marty Robbins, Jim Reeves and Eddy Arnold. The jazz, scene struck and "blues" invaded Nashville. The king of the scene could be none other than jazz bluesman Charlie Rich.

Injuries have already plagued the team this year, but depth should not be a problem, as over 25 players are still out. During " hard, long practices," the Colonelettes are working on the skills needed to display the team play that U! characteristic of good volleyball. Although the game could easily turn into one of "every woman for herself," it is through teamwork that points are scored.

Franklin St. Joining the Colonels of Rodger Bearde in the icebreaking initial tourney will be hartwick, one of the top Division II teams in the country ; Slippery Rock, a topnotch Division III national powerhouse ; and Philadelphia Pharmacy ; a winning Division III club. Many Eastern teams showed an interest in competing in the ~lassie and the committee had a difficult time in narrowing the field to ~ee tea~s. Some of the schools that showed interest inelude: King's Pomt, Kutztown, Oneonta State, Hiram College, Marist College, Wesleyan University, Haverford, Mt. St. Mary's, St. Peters, Cheyney State, Merrimack, American Internationl}l, and Wooster, Ohio. Members of the tournament committee include: George Pawlush, chairman and Wilkes PR Director ; Art Hoover, Wilkes Director of Alumni Relations; Eddie White, Sr. , former WilkesBarre Barons founder and coach; Eddie White III , Wilkes sports information assistant; Gene Domzalski, Colonel baseball coach ; Bernie Vinovrski, associate dean of Wilkes admissions ; and Colonel head basketball coach, Rodger Bearde. The development of a Christmas Tournament on the Colonel campus should significantly help the Wilkes basketball program because it will prevent the dreaded semester layoff for the cagers.

He has been serving as the assistant coach at Coughlin High School, were he also starred, for the past three years. During his Wilkes playing career, he garnered 1110 points, good enough for a formidable seventh place on the all-time Blue and Gold scoring list. The "Big O" will be refueling the jayvee program, which had been temporarily discoutinued this season, as well as serving as an assistant to Bearde.

Eddie White III I The Colonel grappling team of Coach John Reese will have to wait until next year before they rank among the best in the nation. All three wrestlers were eliminated from the championships held at the University of Maryland without a placewinner among them. Gene Clemons /167), came the closest, but was edged 7~, due to a takedown in the final 30 seconds of the match.

Casper Tortella 042) met 3rd seeded Scott Trizzino of Iowa and was the victim of a 20-4 superior decision. "The Ghost" got another chancejn the wrestle-backs but the life was quickly extinguished by Brigham Young's John Meehan, 11-3. Colonel 190 pounder Dave Gregrow lost a 16-9 decision to Joe Lidowski of North Carolina State and never got another chance to wrestle because Lidowski was beaten in the following round. AED TEACHING COURSE The college has announced that Mike Aed, Wilkes' certified athletic trainer, will be teaching a course during the first summer session concerning the treatment of athletic injuries. Entitled Education 598B, Topics: Treating Athletic Injuries: it will run from 8 to 10 every morning from June 12 to July 14.

J ust Good Colonel Baseball And 'mid the tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war. -S.T. Coleridge, Kubla Khan What the Allentown College baseballers heard and experienced last Saturday afternoon at Artillery Park was not ancestral voices and war, or even the dusty old guns surrounding the field. It was a powerful cry from a group of athletes , out to prove that last year's early dismissal from the NCAA Regional P layoffs was a fluke, a parody, a farce. The Blue and Gold diamondmen bombarded Allentown pitching for 34 hits , 41 rbi's, and 45 runs in the twinbill, which Wilkes captured, 23-8 and 22-1, to open its 1978 baseball season. (Remember, like Al McGuire said, "You always open your season with Cupcake University.) The Colonels hit everything Allentown threw at them, and that made the Allentown mentor , a look-alike for Casey Stengel, uniform and all, ask for a reprieve, and the second game was stopped after five innings, after Wilkes had already tallied 22 runs in four frames . Enroute to the twin bill~weep, Wilkes tallied a run or more in every inning. Leading batting standouts for Wilkes were: fresh ma n Chick Andrewscavage , veteran Dave Hungarter, newcomer Israel "Izzy" Ortiz, and second-year man Bob Brezenski. Andrewscavage might just be the Colonels' answer to fill the offensive hole left by the graduation of Don McDermott. The burly freshman from P ittston Area was four for five in the two games with three runs scored and five rbi's. On the first pitch to him of his career as a batter, he hit a screaming two-rbi double to left center to tie the score in the first inning at 3-3. Late in the nite-cap, he sent the first pitch to him over the left field fence right on the foul line. The umpire made a controversial call and called the ball foul. After looking at a low strike, Chick hammered the Allentown offering over the left center fjeld fence for a 430-foot homerun, which might still be going. Andrewscavage started both games at designated hitter and might have found a home there, with everybody's favorite ball player, Lou "Reggie" E lefante now out in (yep, you guessed it ) right field . Hungarter, the third baseman from Meyers, was fou r for seven to lead the " regulars." He scored three runs , added five rbi's and slammed a triple and a homer. Coming off the bench to spark the Blue and Gold with a combined six for six, seven runs scored, and 11 rbi's were subs Ortiz and Brezenski. Izzy's first at bat as a Wilkesman went for a round-tripper, and Brezenski, the pride of Mt. Car mel, also added a "Balentine Blast. " The Colonels, as a team belted seven home runs on the day. In addition to those mentioned above, Rich Borofski, J im Kearney, and Terry Shoen added homers. Coach Domzalski used his lineup freely on Saturday as everybody but Mike Aed and Art Hoover played. The pitchers all saw action, with seniors Andy Kresky and Barry Harcharufka picking up the wins. Recording saves were George Kavulich and freshman standout Randy "Big Mac" McHenry. Kresky sent six FIREBALLER -Colonel Ace Andy Kresky winds it up during the straight Allentown batters down on strikes in a row in Colonels opener against Allentown College last Saturday.

Food Committee meeting will be held at 2 p.m. for the rest of the semester since last week's meeting held at night was poorly attended. Greg Wild,. Food Committee chairman, explained there were no students present at the meeting. "We can't do anything unless people give us something to work with, " commented IDC President Tom Bazzini. " If something is going to change around here, we need input." · A question was raised about the Complaint Box which was to put in the cafeteria. It was suppose to be ready this week, according to Joe Marchetti, Housing director. The recent party ban in Pickering Hall (New Men's Dorm) received much discussion. The restrictions were made because of the conditions in New Men's Dorm. Marchetti also explained that there are plans to revise the party policy for the entire campus. Some IDC representatives ' suggested possibie ways to improve in New Men's Dorm. It was also announced at the meeting that if students have any maintenance complaints they should see Roger Jones or any member of IDC's executive council. Room selection for next year will be occurring April 24 and 25 in the dorms. Housing contracts have been sent to all returning dorm students at their home addresses . The contracts and a $50 deposit must be returned by April 24. The deposit is refundable until August 1. Students who are not sure if they will be returning to the dorms should pay the deposit to ensure rooms on campus. Contracts for Summer School Housing are available in the Housing Office. New Men's Dorm will be opened for both male and female students during the summer. The cost is $52 per week which includes a five-day meal plan. , Janine Pokrinchak NOTICE LOST - One Gold Seiko Watch lost anywhere between the Commons and Parrish Hall. ,.

Kirshner received a total of 214 votes over John Senatore who received 187 votes. In what was considered a close race and became one of the most talked about and active campaigns on campus finally ended. Many people felt Senatore led the advantage but the underdog came out on top. Korpusik won the CC presidential contest with 84 votes over Denise Strickland receiving 68 votes. Both candidates ran a low key campaign and the race was termed as " nice and friendly" by Louie DeRobertis, former CC president. Strickland, however, was considered the favorite in the race but again the voters proved otherwise. 401 people voted in the SG presidential race which is copsidered a fair return while 152 voted for a CC candidate. Gary Toczlowski was elected as IDC president hands down. He ran unopposed. The totals for the IDC election were not available to The Beacon at press time. Feelings and opinions over the elections results could not be expressed by the candidates to The Beacon also due· to press time. Jim Edwards ~ 1- Commuter Council decided to back down from co-sponsoring the All-Campus picnic with) the Freshmen and Sophomore classes at the CC meeting Monday afternoon. The picnic, which is to be held Sunday, April 30, from 10 a .m. to 5 p.m. over at Ralston Field, was originally planned by the Council as a clam bake with many other kinds of foods and beverages. The sophomore class, however, decided that because of costs only beer, root beer, and hot dogs would be available. A band is also being looked into to perform all afternoon. Louis DeRobertis, CC president, termed the new plans as "a bit of a let down" and feels the picnic has turned into a "Sub party moved over to Ralston field." Avote was taken by the body as to whether they should contribute to this picnic or not and it was soundly defeated. The council's social events committee will decide the future of their own sponsored picnic sometime . this week once they find out how much money they have to work with. Under other council matters, tickets for the Yankee game bus trip which is for tomorrow are still available. DeRobertis said that any interested student could purchase a ticket up until the bus leaves by contacting any CC member. He also expressed no disappointment if the tickets are not all sold because DeRobertis told the body that he can sell the unsoldf tickets att the door for a 1 :'° t"J'" J r t J t, , I" J. ~ 4 1 ~ ~ f f & <t I profit. The body voted in favor of allocating $45.50 to Tom Brooks in order for him to purchase gifts for the graduating senior members. DeRobertis introduced to the body the new representatives to the body that were elected two weeks ago. All council members were re-elected with Sue Johnson, class of '79 and Lisa Robeck, class of '80, being the two new members. In the report from the Commons committee, John Griffith reported that a stereo may be purchased for the Commons if the committee can receive the money from Student Government to cover the cost. Griffith also reported that the Commons will be offering a different complete meal everyday for those who would prefer that over a cheeseburger. In speaking about the presidential elections, DeRobertis said that the council should learn a lesson from the 56 presidential race between John Senatore and Steve Kirshner which he feels turned into a rat race. DeRobertis stated that all elections should be " nice and friendly" . Jim Edwards On The Cover Spring is in the air, but so is the end of the semester.

And that is exactly what the Scranton University Royals did in the nite-cap of a doubleheader with Wilkes this past Tuesday afternoon at Schautz Stadium in beautiful downtown Dunmore. After the Blue and Gold had captured the opener, 9-6, to raise its season mark to 6-1, Scranton hem-hawed its way through the nite-cap, praying and hoping for darkness. The_gam~ ~ould have to go five full innings before it would count as an official contest. The game went 4 and 1/.J innings. . .

When Scranton retired in the third frame with no runs Wilkes scurried through a two minute fourth with no scoring. The' Royals of Coach Gary Wodder, (You remember him, he was the guy who shouted obscenities over the mike at the King's-Scranton cage game at "Duh U," he's also the athletic director ), tallied two runs in the bottom of the inning, before the umpires called the game. There was definately enough time to play the innings if Scranton had not stalled. But, Wilkes will get another shot at the Royals, when Scranton invades Artillery Park on April 26 for a doubleheader. If anyone happens to go up Route 81 and go near "Duh U " tell 'em on April 26, the Colonels will be awaiten'.

Earlier in the week, Lehigh decisioned the Wilkesmen 10-o, bringing their record to lsl entering the Gettysburg match. Although the Blue and Gold were unable to avenge last year's 9-7 loss, it was an exciting contest and the cold and windy weather didn't scare away the crowd · which lined-up along the sidelines and perched themselves in the football bleachers to. observe the action. Most of the action, however, was in favor of Gettysburg, who set up 48 shots at the goal to Wilkes 29. Needless to say, the Colonel stickmen were forced to play more defense than offense and a few Blue and Gold players excelled in their defensive efforts. Senior co-captain John Lack demonstrated his love for football when he made two "very physical" tackles', thus destroying two adversaries. Freshman goalie Dave Singer collected 25 saves to raise his three-game total to 47. Junior Andy Dutch got back into action in the fourth quarter, after being sidelined for more than one week and will add depth to the Colonel goalkeepers·. Mark Sanders,sophomore from West Islip, N.Y. continued to show prowess from the mid-field by winning 17 out of 23 face-offs for the Colonels. Sanders, who wo·n All-Conference in high school, recorded over 70 percent of Wilkes face-offs last season and appears to be headed for AllConference honors at the Collegiate level. Also looking impressive in the mid-field was Todd Noll, who scored on a pass play from Joe Burnett Saturday. Team co-captain Bruce Davis was the first Colonel to hit the nets Saturday finding the range early in the third quarter. Davis is also bidding for All Conference honors and is tied for the team's third leading scorer with senior Greg Wild, at four. Sophomore Wayne Krwn of Boonton, N.J. leads all Wilkes scorers with 7, but the Gettysburg team managed to keep the Colonel stickman scoreless Saturday. Second in the scoring ranks is sophomore Bill Adams with five. Wilkes found themselves at a 10 deficit after the first quarter, but the visitors pulled away by respective advantages of 4-0, 5-1 and 3-1 in the following periods. Penaltie.s certainly didn't help either, as the Wilkesmen were punished 15 times for over 12 minutes and Gettysburg had 10 for nine minutes. Unlike Saturday when the Blue and Gold only allo"'ed the opponent to score one goal in the Netmen O.f Rokita· Staying Above .500 The Colonel tennis team had a busy week winning two matche,s and dropping one to even its season record at 2-2. The Blue and Gold of Coach Rokiqi won easily over Moravian 8-1, lost a squeaker to Ursinus 5-4, and defeated the Monarchs of King's College, 6-3. The victory over Moravian was sweet for two reasons. First of all, it broke the Colonels into the win colwnn this year after they dropped their opener to Juniata. Secondly, it was a win on the road and, as is the case in any sport, you must win away matches to have a successful year. Mike Hromchak was sharp winning his match easily, 6-3, 6-4. Stan Manoski ancf Terry Collins also had an easy time with their Moravian counterparts winning their doubles match by a lopsided 6-1, 6-1. The thrill of victory didn't last too long though, as Ursinus College travelled to the Ralston Field courts and proved that they too can win on the road. When the match was over, Wilkes had put up a good battle but had fallen short in the final outcome. On Monday, the team took the courts determined to even their record at .500 at tfie expense of King's College. They were not to be denied and blasted their way to a 6-3 win. This match could easily have been a !41 shutout as the team lost . three heartbreaking . . Baran, Terry Collins, and Bill Murtagh all won singles matches while the duos of Baran and Murtagh and Collins and Manoski won in doubles. For the second time in the week the team of Collins and Manoski had an easy match in doubles. This time, they defeated Bill Burke and Mike Metroka of King's in straight sets, 6-0; 6-0. The matches the Colohels' lost were about as close as they possibly could be. Mike Hromchak lost two tie breakers and the match, 7-6, 7-6. In doubles, Hromchak and Clieplik lost by a close 6-4, 5-7, 7-5 score. Coach Rokita was well pleased with the total effort although some small mistakes still bothered him. With two wins in the last threematches,though, he isn't complaining. The team faces some stiff competition this week in the form of the Royals of the University of Scranton. That match will be played at Scranton. After that, the next opponent for the Wilkes Tennis squad will be Susquehanna University. This team is young and exciting, and if you like to watch good sports action drop by at the courts and show the team that the campus is behind them. They give a lot to the game, and deserve some fan support in return. Dave Jolley DOWNTOWN, W.B. ,ill 113 S. MAIN ST. MON. & THURS. 10AM - 9PM DAILY 10AM - 5 :30 PM s ' .

With the exception of the poor first quarter, the Wilkes stickmen matched talents with the highly-rated Engineers, who also defeated them last season. • Wayne Krwn was high-scorer with two goals and was followed by sophomore Bill Adams who netted two. Bruce Davis also picked-up a goal in the Lehigh contest while several players were credited with assists. Todd Noll, Brian Blesi, Joe Burnett and Bernie Donachie each registered one assist. Coaches Hobrock and MacArthur pointed to "The Greek" Donachie as playing the outstanding defense and always- being where the ball was. If Donachie continues his defensive performance he will probably capture another first team All-Conference ·selection. The Lacrossemen· were expected to play Bucknell Wednesday at 7: 30 under the lights at Lewisburg. The fact that they play under the lights is an indication of their capabilities and the Colonels will have their work cut out for them. Last year the Bisons handed the Colonels a 17-9 setback before the hometown crowd. Saturday's April 15 match-up with Madison FDU will also be a tough one for the Colonels, · but maybe the home field advantage will be a psychological lift. Looking ahead, Wilkes travels to Haverford April 19. Bob Gaetano From P. 2 barnburner against the Independants, told reporters, " We'd have won easily if we had a shortstop!" ... condolences must be offered to Norman "Radioactive" Rickles of the lndependants who really "took it on the chin" in a recent game ... Richie "K" Karo of Dennison Hall is flirting with immortality. In just two games, he has already accomplished something no intramuraler in Wilkes history had ever done, striking out twice two games in a row. This immediately tied him for still another record with Lorenzo Alston of the Thwnpers who set the standard of four strikeouts in a season just a year ago. Said Karo, "records are made to be broken."

The Blue and Gold of Coach Rollie Schmidt defeated the Monar~hs, 395-405 at King's home course, the par 71 Wyoming Valley Country Club. Tops for Wilkes, and taking medalist honors on the 6,000 yard course was Steve Nielsen with a 75. Other Colonels with low scores were: Joe Skladany 78, Billy Briggs, 79, Bruce Slavins}9 81, Bryan Hoynak 82, Barry Williams 84, and captain Ken Donlavage 89, who played ill. Earlier in the week, the Colonel duffers dropped a season-opening loss to Haverford College, 408414, on the 6,100 yard Merion West Course in Haverford. Joe Skladany was tops for Wilkes with a 75. Wilkes will host the Monarchs of King's College in a rematch on Monday afternoon at the Irem Temple Country Club at2:00. The Colonels will be on the road next Thursday, traveling to meet Moravian and Muhlenberg at 1:00. Eddie White III Volleyball Team .Record Stands 1-2 The women·s volleyball .team is in a see-saw like battle this · season as the women lost the opening match, came back to win the second. and then dropped the third. (They played Baptist Bible· last night, but results were not available before press time.) · The Colonelettes fell to King"s in the season opener despite outscoring their opponents. In a best-out-of-five game match, Wilkes scored 65 points to King's 51, but couldn't distfibute them evenly. as they dropped three games. Scores were 13-15. 15-7. 15-3. 11-15, and 13-15. Freshman Cindy Rossi tallied 16 points on serves, with two aces, while freshman Amy Gordon accounted for 13 points and one ace. The Blue.and Gold also completed more serves than did King"s. 108 to 103. Captains Sally Steele and Karen Polomski had 22 saves between them, and sophomore Mary Kay Price proved to be an excellent spiker while also "dinking" the ball successfully. The team captured the season·s first win Saturday before a large group of parents who attended this ·:Parents· Day" game against Misericordia.

Tuesday the Colonelettes tried a new defensive cover against Scranton University, but couldn't make it work well enough to prevent the Royals from ·taking the match in three games, 15-3, 15-12, and 15-3. Inexperience and some unfamiliarity with the defensive play may have been the sources of the trouble, along with poor bloc!cing at the net. Scranton, a good basic volleyball team, was able to take advantage of the Blue and Gold's mistakes. Sally Steele did come through with one of her best games, however, the serving improved since the second game, and the players appeared to recover well defensively. The JV team, the only full team in this area , is also coming along, propelled by such players as Debbie Ryan, Barb Shaffer, Terri Roof, Marilyn Barbieri and Nina Nubani. Playing against some varsity team members, the JV's have had to really work, but have been holding their own and are expected to do well this season. Upcoming games include Keystone (away) on Monday and King's (away) on Wednesday.

For details, see p. 3 - - -- - --- ------ ---------------------------- - Party Ban Discussed Access Among NMD Proble.ms VANDALISM - Both the Library and New Men's Dorm have become victims of an increasing number of vandals. As a result, a party ban has been set in New Men's Dorm and the Library faces the problems of replacing damaged books and journals. Debate Union Captures First National Honors Debate Union wrote still another chapter of Wilkes history when it captured the overall first place award in the national Phi Kappa Delta Honorary Forensic Society's annual tournament in Plymouth, Mass. The Forensic Unit of "Kinney's Kids" won 15 national awards, raising the total number of trophies won this year to 70, more than double the 22-year-old record of 30 awards. The award marks the first time the squad has won a national honor, and establishes it as the best unit on the East coast. It also is the first time all Wilkes competitiors won medals during the same competition. Marcia Stratton, Donna Korba, Davida Roberts , Ann Sharkey, David Evans and Jack Lambert combined efforts to win one gold, three silver and eight bronze medals. They also won three trophies for excellence in speaking, in addition to the first place title. This was only the third national in which Wilkes has participated since 1956. This weekend the union is participating in the national tournament, which is by invitation only and attracts the top teams in the country. The Debate'Forensic unit is coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. KinneL._ speech division. Vandalism and the easy access to New Men's Dorm were the highlights of the discussion at a meeting Monday night · of NMD representatives, Housing Director Joe Marchetti and Dean George Ralston. The group met to discuss the current situation in Pickering Hall (NMD) where a party moratorium is in effect. Ban was the result of damage incurred at recent parties. Representatives of the nine dorms within the building agreed that NMD lacks the sense of pride and responsibility that outside dorms exhibit, due to the set-up of the compl~x. It was pointed out that only the center lounge (where alcohol and congregating are prohibited) is an adequate place for a party, and that each of the three dorms on each floor, while expected to behave as individual groups, do not have individual areas to hold social functions. The lack of pride and feelings of unity were attributed to this problem, and various suggestions, including the renovation of the center lounge, were made. Dean Ralston said that this possibility would be looked into. The fact that Pickering is so easy. to enter at almost any time of the day or night led Ralston to · comment that it is like "Grand Central Station," and Marchetti to observe that it is a "24-hour gathering place for resident students, commuters and high school students." No acceptable solution to this problem was agreed upon. Damage done to the facility during or after parties was also a topic for discussion, when it was revealed that glass doors are broken at least once every ·weekend, and each door costs $100 to replace. Marchetti claimed that more doors are broken by dorm students than by outsiders, and Ralston · commented that "reasonable people wouldn't break doors." He also asserted that there is no reason for anyone to become intoxicated and resort to such action. Representatives agreed that drinking is the primary social activity on campus, and that since few other activities are offered that are attended by a majority of the student population, this popularity would continue. The need for an effective party policy and efficient enforcement was thus seen to be an important i-tem to consider. Although no definite policies were made ( a meeting was held Wednesday night to discuss the issues in more detail ), people who attended Monday's meeting felt that better student leadership in the form of dorm councils was needed, in addition to better facilities for NMD residents. Wilma Hurst Library Sees 'Upsurge' In Vandalism This Year The Eugene Shedden Farley Library has seen an "upsurge" in vandalism this year, according to library officials. . Reference Librarian Fred Krohle reported that an increasing number of books and journals are being multilated by having pages torn out and passages underlined; graffetti can be found on library signs and book labels and microfilm has also suffered damage. "It's the old story of a few people hurting everyone," he said, "and it does hurt everyone in the long run because everyone pays for it in some way." lllPAGESMISSING He showed The Beacon some examples of the damage done this year, in the form of a $45 book with 111 pages missing and a journal with notes in the margins and numerous passages underlined in ink. · " It takes a great deal of time, effort and money to repair the damage done to these materials," he noted, "since we have to find replacements for the pages or have to replace the entire book. It all comes down to dollars and cents which partly come from student tuition. It also hurts the student by limiting the available resources." Some problems with graffetti, missing signs and damaged furniture have also surfaced, continued on page 3 On The Cover Here she is, folks. Someone finally caught our own Advertising Manager and Cartoonist Donna Korba busily painting. Donna's art work has appeared in many Beacon issues during the last two years. Photo by Bob Gaetano . THE BEACON AWARDED FIRST PLACE RATING Three First Place Awards In Three . Years The Beacon has been awarded a first place rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the third consecutive year. It competed with other four-year institutions of similar enrollment from across the country. Issues for 1977 were judged in relation to these other colleges and universities and were awarded 866 out of a possible 1000 points. Jui s in the fifty-fourth annual contest stated that "The Beacon has many commendable points: overall good news coverage, a strong editorial page, some good features and a strong ~.ports section." Generanf~s overage was given 46 out of 50 points , and the sports section received a perfect score, as it was considered well-balanced, with women's sports seeing excellent coverage. Content and coverage received 94 per cent of the possible points, while writing and editing earned 86 per cent, along with design and display. Marks in individual categories within these major areas were consistently in the 80s and 90s. The paper received a first place c~rtificate, along with a detailed critique q._<;mtaining marks, comments and suggestions, all intended to aid future issues. Editor-in-Chief Wilma-Hurst commented on the award, saying " It's very gratifying to receive recognition from such a prestigious organization, and I think this award speaks well for the people responsible for publishing The Beacon, especially this year's staff, which often had to work under some very trying conditions. "I also think the Pittston Sunday Dispatch was a tremendous asset to us this year, as the people there never failed to offer their assistance and expertise whenever it was needed. "The suggestions made by Columbia will be examined this summer, and hopefully, next year's Beacon will be even better." . �PAGE 2, THE BEACON, APRIL 21, 1978 SG • Kirshner Begins Term; .,_m Fedwal Semlller B/1111 Remedy Nevv Off'·ce•s Elected • Steve Kirshner took over the position of Student Government president at Monday night's SG meeting as Carl Holsbetger ended his term. A round of applause from the body was given to Kirshner who then promised a very productive year ahead. Elections for · next year's executive council were held and the results were as follows: Greg Black defeated Dave Blumfield for vice president; Barbara Landis was the only person nominated for recording secretary; John Senatore won the post for treasurer over Dave Blumfield, Larry Walsh, and Steve Kicka ; and as corresponding secretary and homecoming chairperson, Sharon Maganello beat out Gerald D'Albis. Tribute was paid to the outgoing executive council for their work this past year. They were Larry Assilita, vice president; Frank Scancerella, treasurer; Diane • Coleman, recording s~cretary; and Ros~tta Chiavacci, corresponding se~::?~ommit~e reports, the academic committee reported that the teacher evaluation forms will have fewer questions for this semester. -~hese _questions ~ill also be divided mto categories such as the book used, exams given, and the overall effectiveness of the teacher. A number representing the average response for each category may be used. Dave Evans, committee chairman, stressed how important it is for students to fill out their evaluation forms. The committee is hoping for at least a 50 per cent response as compared to the 20 per cent response of the last evaluation. Greg Black, concert committee chairman, reported that the Firefall concert on Sunday night 1 was a success with everyone seeming to have a good time. Out of a capacity of 2100 tickets available, 1450 people attended while only 257 students bought from the 500 subsidized tickets available. The film "The Three Musketeers" will be shown today and Sunday at 8 p.m. in the CPA for 25 cents. Kirshner announced that any student interested in serving on a Student-Faculty committee next year may pick up an application in the Library or the bookstore. All applications must be returned to the SG office by next Friday, April 28. Students also interested in being a committee chairman of SG should contact Kirshner who will appoint new people. These positions are open to the whole student body and not just SG representatives. At the close of the meeting the body decided to ask Dean Edward Baltruchitus to, again, be the SG advisor. He accepted.

GRAFFETTI A PROBLEM Graffetti is an "ongoing problem" which is dealt with as quickly as possible, but Krohle noted that some is missed and others cannot be removed without incurring great expense. The librarian also noted that a sign, which had been screwed into a wall, is missing, along with other less securely attached notices. Micorfilm has been torn or broken, but Krohle feels that this is probably caused by students not knowning how to properly use the viewers. He emphasized that the library staff is always willing to instruct people in the correct manner to operate any of the library equipment. Wilma Hurst METRIC WALK '78; Keep On Truckin '............ . Planning is underway for the eighth annual March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the March of Dimes needs everybody's help to make · METRIC WALK '78 the most usccessful Walk-A-Thon ever. A Walk-A-Thon is a total community effort to help the March of Dimes raise funds to fight birth defects that currently strike _ over · a quarter-million babies born each year in this country. More than 15 million Americans suffer from birth defects. Participants walk a common 20 mile route. This year, the route will be measured in kilometers ( 20 miles equals 32 kilometers ). On Walkathon Day, after first finding as many sponsors as possible to pay them a set amount for each kilometer, they walk. Participants then walk the route, getting their Walk Cards checked at each of the checkpoints on the route, and then collect their pledges from their sponsors, turning the money over to the March of Dimes. The Walkathons are ,an important source of public support for the March of Dimes, and give everyone an opportunity to help in the prevention of birth defects. Metric Walk '78 will be held on Sunday, April 23, 1978, at 8 a.m. , rain or shine, in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, and Clarks Summit. Starting points for each Walkathon are as follows: Scranton, County Court House; Wilkes-Barre, Public Square; Hazleton, School District Stadium; and Clarks Summit; Keystone Junior, College. ; The March of Dimes is looking for "Quality Walkers" of all ages. Quality Walkers are walking to improve the quality of life. Like the March of Dimes, they are serious about doing their part to protect the unborn and the newborn. Who are Quality Walkers? ...

Winning over twice as many awards as the previous total of 30 (a record which stood for over 22 years) is just one of the many accomplishments of this group of talented and dedicated students. The unit has brought national recognition to Wilkes through it.s participation in tournaments throughout the country, and has shown that the College is not to be taken lightly when it comes to forensic ability. Often taken for granted or ignored by the general college populace, the union has been perhaps one of the most prestigious and impressive assets of the College. The fame it has brought to Wilkes and to it.s mem. hers is exceeded only by the dedication and hard work that has made the team the success it has become. We sincerely congratulate Dr. Brad Kinney and his "Kids" on this history-making season and wish them the best in their efforts this weekend. Enio111111enl WHl,in U111ill The Student Government presidential election turned out to be a close, hard-fought, sometimes bitter race, where issues were clouded by some dubious political moves and vague accusations. One point of controversy involved The Beacon's endorsing one candidate for office. We have heard people claim that this move was "illegal" and should not have been made. For the record, it is a policy of The Beacon to publically endorse a SG presidential nominee as part of our responsibility in serving the best interests of Wilkes students. It has been done during all our years at the College, with the exception of 1977, when. only one candi!fate ran for the office. Furthermore, it is entirely within the limits of a newspaper to endorse a political candidate, and we simply claimed that privilege, partly to generate interest in the election, but mainly to support the person we felt would be best able to fill the position. Our choice was based on the written platforms and past performance of each candidate. It was made independently, without regard for personalities, and will be made again next year in the same manner. VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! For the solution to the' biggest mystery on campus since we told you there was a cat on the front cover, tune in next Student Offers Sugg·estion For Harrassment Problem week when TEX and FRITZ are unmasked. Beat the rush- plan your revenge early. To The Editor: In past years, on this campus, there have been incidents in which women dorm students have been harrassed and molested by men from the local area. The solutions previously provided have been partially effective, however, outcries for improved security and student escorts quickly die down after the incidents are forgotten and are only again raised at the next bit of trouble. The more permanent solution lies in the correction of another situation on campus. If one were to look at a map of the school, it would show that all male students are concentrated in a one block area, whereas female dormers are spread throughout the 23-acre campus. Despite what the P.R. brochures say, at night, our "tree-lined" streets are not altogether quiet they are dark, empty and dangerous. If some male dorms were relocated to different parts of the campus, then there would be the usual movement to and from the throughout the campus and turning Pickering Hall co-ed ( by house, room or floor)? I only see two. First, there is a certain amount of difficulty in changing dorms from male to female '( or vice versa) - the men are harder on the dorms than the women. However, I·am sure a long-term change-over plan could be worked out with all the variables considered. The only other reason I can see for not reorganizing the dorm set-up is the reason the dorms were probably set this way in the first place; to keep the Wilkes boys from getting at the Wilkes girls. This idea was noble - at one time, but haven't we reached the point where we must say, "Who are we protecting who from?" Perhaps, we should let the women decide. different dorms. I am not implying that every male student would be able to stop an attack, or that every female student is totally defenseless, but the facts are male dorms have more people coming and going until later hours and their very presence might deter some deviates. In the University of Pennsylvania campus (an Ivy-League school), there were many attacks on women's dorms. Entire dorms would be terrorized by the local hoods, until the Penn administraiton enacted the policy of co-ed housing on certain floors. After this arrangement was established, the next time there was a break-in on a co-ed floor, they had to carry the would-be attackers out on stretchers. Admittedly, Wilkes-Barre has not turned into central Philadelphia, but problems do exist and integration of the sexes may provide a viatle solution.

Some athletes are made of snips, and snails, and puppy dog tails while others are. made of sugar, and spice, and everything nice but both require a special kind of dedication in order to insure success. The 1978 Beacon Athletes of the Year are diametrically op1:>osite in their athletic gifts. Tony Couto eats quarterbacks while Cindy Glawe does imitations of swans. Our panel of 30 resident sports experts resoundingly voted Couto the recipient of the male award. He was Rollie Schmidt's defensive co-captain during this past football season and set a precedent by being ch?sen as the MAC's Most Valuable Player; a rare honor for a defensive player. Operating out of the inside linebacker slot in the 4-4-3 align- . ment, he.led the Colonel:,,in every defensive category from quarterback dinners to fumble desserts. He is going down South next week for a tryout with the Montreal team in the Canadien Football League. While Couto's basic claim to fame deals directly with violence, Cindy Glawe is exquisitely graceful. As a four year member of the Wilkes swimming team, she was a pillar of strength to the program. Operating under the dire~t of cir~ums~nce~, it is simply amazing that the program still exJSts. Swunmmg without a pool gets to be extremely difficult after a while. It is largely to Cindy's credit that there is still a Colonel swim team. The epitome of desire, she came back after a near-disasterous fall to garner the first MAC gold medal in diving in Wilkes College history. The winners this year are rare iri that they have only performed in a single sport during their collegiate careers. In the past the tendency has been to award the multi-sport athletes. . The balloting was extremely close in the female bracket this year. Cindy barely edged out basketball stand?ut J?iane K~~dig for the top honors.while Mary Jo Frail, last years ~er, flillshed a very close third. Karen Olney, .terry Ann Smith, and Joanne Pugliese also received strong support. . It was a very convincing victory for Couto m the male category. He easily out distanced Terry Schoen, second baseman supreme, for the award. John Zapko, the human rebound, placed third while wrestlers Gene Clemons and Danny House and soccerman Mario Apuzzo also finished high. The 28th annual awards will be presented at the Student Awards luncheon on Tuesday, April 25 in the CPA.

Wilkes junior Sandy Pensieri made Colonel athletic history, when she became the first woman ever to participate in a Wilkes golf match in the twin-victories over the Royals and Upsala.

Krum gained one goal and an assist against FDU and teammate Brian Blesi of Bethage, N.Y. picked up an assist.

Following their 7-2 loss to Scranton, the team is obviously looking for revenge against the Royals.

Bill Abrams, a sophomore of Maine, N.Y. has been characterized as a "hustler" and has really been picking up the loose ground ball frequently. Abrams, along with Blesi, Sanders and Donachie picked up 25 out of 42 ground balls against the Bisons, which was an important factor in keeping the Wilkesmen in the game. Hobrock played several midfielders and it was beneficial to Wilkes, mainly because of the fine conditioned Davis, Abrams, Sanders, Jim O'Neill and Todd Noll. Senior Greg Wild has scored four goals this season and was a key substitute for Blesi and Davis in both games last week. Wayne Krum and Bill Adams led in scoring at Bucknell with two goals and one assist each. Sophomore Joe Burnett of Vetal, N.Y. recorded his first goal since Dickinson, where he hit the nets twice. C<>-<!aptain Davis scored once and Brian Blesi had two assists. Davis has scored safely in every game so far this season. The Blue and Gold were expected to play Haverford Wednesday, at the Fords home field. It will be another tough one for the Colonels, since the Fords have two players listed in the "Top 10" scoring and "Top 10" assist leaders in the MAC. The Colonel stickmen will be out to avenge an 8-2 loss from a year ·ago. Saturday's encounter should be lighter since Wilkes defeated Muhlenberg 17-1 last season.

Yes, the Wilkes College baseball team is using its powerful (boy, are t~y powerful) offense, and like always, is complimenting that with a great mound staff, looking ahead to get back into that NCAA Division III World Series, which they were a part of two years ago. The veterans, who were there two years ago know what it takes, and are willing to give it all they got. The names of Elefante, Suchoski, Hockenbury, Polaha, Grasley, Hungarter, and Schoen are stinging the ball, while senior hurlers Harcharufka and Kresky are turning away opponents like they were a box office at the World Series, seventh game. The youngsters, who have never been there, but want desperately to be a part of it, are doing their part: Andrewscavage, Marino, Marshall, Brezenski. Pisarcik, Capece, Adams, Kavulich, Borofski, Briel, Korba, McHenry, and Kearney. The coach Gene Domzalski, and his two alert assistants Tony Schwab and Jerry Bavitz are also hungry, waiting for that chance to show the nation that Artillery Park is the home of a champion. The Colon~ls passed its first major test of the semester this past week as they endeavored many, many MAC games, and have come out of the busy · week undefeated with an 11-1 overall mark and a 7-0 slate in MAC competition. Before press time, the latest Wilkes capture was a 21-0 slugging of Division II East Stroudsburg State College, as the Blue and Gold banged out a school record seven home runs. Those hitting the blasts were : Billy Hockenbury, Dave Hungarter, Ken Suchoski (grand slam), Chick Andrewscavage, Ricky Marshall; Phil Marino, and Lou Elefante. Elefante's blast put him in second place on the all-time Wilkes homer list with 16, tied with Mike Supczenski, behind Don McDermott's 19. In that blow-out of East Stroudsburg, Marino, Hockenbury and Hungarter tied another school record with back-to-back-to-back homeruns on three consecutive pitches. The last time that was done was in 1976 at the Regional Tourney, when Steve Leskiw, Elefante, and Suchoski connected for homers.

Spring is in the air, when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, and Wyoming Valley celebrates another Cherry Blossom Festival. It all began in 1967, when representatives from the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce approached the Luzerne County Commissioners with an idea which would show off the beautiful Wyoming Valley. John Mattern headed a committee, composed of Roy Morgan and Atty. Mitchell Jenkins, who presented the idea of a Cherry Blossom Festival to County Commissioners. As Mattern put it, "We think we can eventually create a new image for our community ... put a sparkle ... put new life into it." tators. The cooperation of the colleges, schools, businesses in the Wyoming Valley Area has been outstanding since 1967. And today nearly every group, club and business in Wyoming Valley provides some type of support for the Gala Festival Weekend. Mother Nature and the cherry trees sometimes forget they are supposed to be in bloom at festival time. The blossoms are very delicate and need the right combination of moisture and temperature to fully bloom. The Wyoming Valley Spring season is usually marked by fluctuations in temperature and moisture, thus the poor timing record of flowers and festival. Washington, D.C.

In addition to the scheduled groups, Bluegrass musicians are expected to attend and follow the pattern set last year when impromptu per forman ces wer e heard whenever two or more musicians met. Bluegrass is unique in today's world of music because it ·relies on unamplified acoustic instruments. The American string band music typically features the fiddle, five-string banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar and acoustic bass.

Formal dedication and blessing of the 24foot statue of the College Patron took place October 28, 1956, the Feast of Christ the King. The statue is cast in one-half inch aluminum and is beautifully lighted at night, making it visible to many sections of Wyoming Valley. Occupying a prominent place in the Wilkes-Barre skyline, King's statue faces west overlooking the beautiful Wyoming Valley and the historic Susquehanna River . From a distant view, the edifice gives the appearance of a huge cross by day and by night. Originally, the idea of a statue for the top of the six-story Main Building was conceived by the Rev. Leo F . Flood, C.S.C., former president of King 's College. Father Flood presented his idea to the Alumni Association of the college. The graduates enthusiastically adopted the project of financing erection of the statue. From the general alumni office at King's, the drive for funds was held and met with a fine response from the graduates. Many friends of the college also donated to the statue fund. Adolph Ell, Jr., instructor in art at King's, designed the :iili :::1: original model for the statue. After a careful study of proposals submitted, the contract for the statue was awarded to Lawrence Russo of neighboring Kingston. Mr. Russo, prominent in the field of sculpture, had a brilliant background of outstanding artistic projects in the East. After completing the huge figure of "Chrsit the King" in clay, Mr. Russo made a plaster of paris casting. Then the statue was cast in aluminum sections. The sections were welded together on the rooftop of the Main Building where the statue was reinforced with steel framework. Spotlights were installed to light the statue at night. �April 21 - April JO, 1978 Cherry Blossom Times Page 4 Wilkes ·c ollege Major Asset To Area Wilkes College continues as a major asset to Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Once a plot of land bearing a thriving railroad station in the late lBOO's, now is a vibrant center for the performing arts. Committed to educational theater, the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts was the fulfillment of a dream. Now 14 years after its completion, the CPA maintains its commitment to Wilkes College and the community at large. Over 50,000 people attended performances, films, lectures, meetings, rehearsals, and concerts at the CPA. More than 250 Wilkes students participated in the production of those events. The CPA additionally is a cultural facility which hosts more than 50 campus and community organizations. Indeed, the spirits of education, imagination and creativity live in abundance in such a "house. " The late Annette Evans, the trustee instrumental in the construction of the CPA, said it is "a place to turn what man dreams into an expression of what he will become." Her words underscore the essence of educational theater. One need only to experience the panoramic view from the lighting control booth to the rear and above the 500-seat auditorium on an opening night before a capacity house to understand the grasp of creativity in the performing arts. Students, as actors on stage, create illusions and transform illusions into beliefs for the audience. Wilkes educational efforts have offered remarkable experiences for students participating in the theatre. Their experiences include experimental theatre performances, where the essence of drama unfolds; modern dance classes, where they learn the physical discipline of the body in an effort of expression. The classroom, where they might study the rebirth of theatre in the Italian Renaissance, tracing the roots of modern stage design. Scene and costume shops offer students opportunities to translate designing plans into a stage environment. Wilkes students may paint the backdrops for a high school musical, build sets for community theatre production, prepare a puppet show for a local elementary school or direct high school students entered in a one-act play competition. The solitary student, seated in the reading room at the CPA, is moved by the performing spirit. Fourteen years since the ground breaking has found the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts at Wilkes College, turning dreams into eloquent performances, visions into fulfilled students and hopes into a joint commitment to the perpetuation of the arts.

Dave Evans, academi~ committee chairman, said that this would be done to get a greater student response fr om the student body. At present he is seeking permission from faculty members to enter their classes and have the evaluation forms completed. Those professors who wish not to cooperate will be evaluated through the mail. Evans also presented to the body the new evaluation form . which is neater, more concise, and divided up into categories of instructor, exams or papers, text, and over all effectiveness. . In other matters, Evans noted the . new restriction on students wishing to transfer credits from another college. In ce rtain departments, a final test will have to be taken and passed when ,------------, I IDC Discusses I I Food Ideas I Three temporary proposals to be added to· next year's Food Service were discussed at Sunday's JDC meeting. These proposals were only a few of the many suggested to the cafeteria staff by Food Com:pittee chairmen Dave Taylor and Greg Wild. The changes to be tried on a trial basis include the addition of five special meals to next year 's menu. These dinners would be similar but not as fancy as, the Thanksgiving , Christmas and Easter dinners now served in the cafeteria and would be held once a month. The other proposals include table linens for Sunday dinners and a cold cut platter at lunch. The cold cut platter would allow students to make their own sandwiches; however, this will only be on a trial basis. Taylor and Wild explained that there would .be no change in the size of portions next year. In other food business, it was announced that Banana Split Sunday will be held this Sunday from 2 p.m. to dinner time in the cafeteria. Last weekend's Block Party was also discussed. JDC President Gary Toczylowski commertted on this year's party and also made suggestions for future ones. Toczylowski also discussed ideas for next year's IDC Council. These ideas included the Council Continued on P. 8 the student returns to the College before it will be transferred. The student will be notified before he take~ the course, however, that he :will have to take the additional final here. Under other SG business Steve Kirshner ; SG president, appointed the new committee chairman and parliamentarian for next year. Dave Blumfield is the new parliamentarian. F or the social committee, Gerald D' Al bis and Marla Brodsky are the cochairmen while Greg Black was reappointed concert committee chairman. Julie Kent, who was not re-elected to SG, was appointed academic chairman. Under the publicity and elections committee, Larry Walsh and Joe Galli are the new heads while Ross Mantione and Basil Kaczmarczkare in charge of the film committee. Kirshner also announced that the last film to be presented is "Death Wish" this Saturday in SLC 101 at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. for 25 cents. There is also an important meeting for any interested student in selecting next year's films on Monday at 11 a.m. in the SG office in Weckesser Hall. It was annoUP.ced that anyone interested in working on next year 's freshmen orientation committee must meet Monday at 11 a.m. in SLC 101 for an important meeting. Carl Holsberger, former SG president announced that students may pick up any unsold books from the Used Book Store held in January at the SG office between now and the end of finals.

Dave Evans, academic committee chairman, and Carl Holsberger, SG president, worked hard in both areas to bring about these changes. It is people like this that SG needs more of. The teacher evaluation forms did not turn out as everyone would have liked but this was the very first time the project was undertaken. Changes have already been made for this year's evaluation which will help clear up part of the confusion most students found when trying to read the results. The new decimal point grading system which introduces the new grades of 1.5, 2.5, ang. 3.5 is also very beneficial. This system will measure a student's ability more fairly by leaving out the present wide gaps between grades. The 4.0 student may become a thing of the past because A's will be harder to earn but this system was designed for the majority of the student body, not the gifted or unusually lucky. The teacher evaluations and this new grading policy alone are major changes by SG but there is more. The concert committee, headed by Greg Black, purchased a floor covering for the gym. This now yields the gym much more appealing to use not only for concerts but for dances, lectures and parties. Who knows, with the covering beer may soon be allowed in the gym. In speaking of the concert committee, it should be mentioned that we did have two very entertaining shows by "The Outlaws" and "Firefall'r. Even though Black was under fire and unjustly accused of not doing his job, students must realize that we can't have such top notch concerts as King's College or the University ·of Scranton offer. We simply do not have the facilities. However, there is always room for improvement and with the recent concert survey taken at the last college elections. Black should move towards the strongest area indicated. The other SG committee all completed their routine business rather successfully. Homecoming, under the charge of Rosetta Chiavacci, ran smoothly but her financial report however, is not-existent as of today. The film and social committees did commendable jobs while the publicity and elections committee could have used a little more leadership. It seems that most elections had trouble running without problems and the SG sign near Chase Hall could have been updated more often. Overall, routine business by the body was handled quite well. SGFUNDING Concerning the never ending problems of fund requests, this year's body granted money as they only saw fit. They were much more consistent in granting requests when compared to past Student Governments. Like every year, funds became awfully low at the end of the year, but this was because of the $5,000 spent on the gym floor covering and $2,000 taken away for the school calenders which was usually paid by the administration . If these extraordinary payments were not made, SG would have proved itself very thrifty. It should be noted that a lot of fund requests made should have been taken care of by the adminis tr a ti on· or by certain departments. These are, however, thrown into SG's lap for them to decide in the future of some club's or organization's activit1 which is not fair . She laughs, she cries, she feels angry, she feels lonely, she feels guilty, she makes breakfast, she makes love, she makes do, she is strong, she is weak, she is brave, she is scared, she is ... SG REPRESENTATIVES Rating this year's representatives, one would need a scale from very poor to excellent. On the excellent side we have Larry Assilita, Evans, and Holsberger who all worked above and beyond the call of duty. Assilita, former vice president of SG, was probably one of the best SG members the College has ever had, a diligent worker. He knew SG's potentials and directions and constantly reminded the body of consequences that might arise over certain actions made by SG. As well as being academic committee chairman, Evans was also active representative offering suggestions and opinions on all major decisions. He showed genuine interest and concern for the College. Being SG president, Holsberger did not fully adjust to the job until the second semester •. where he demonstrated himself as an effective leader and to put a fight for what he believes in. He isn't a rebel, but rather a true , politician. Some have criticized his poor participation in SG sponsored activities but this is because they have nothing else to complain about. Other outstanding representatives were Rosetta Chiavacci, Kim Dubosky, Daryl Dwyer, Julie Kent (who should have been re-elected to the body for next year), Steve Kirshner, Frank Scancerella, and John Senatore who all contributed to the weekly . meetings and SG activities. In general, SG has been effective through the high and low waters of the year. Next year's body has the potential to be even better but only time will tell. Jim Edwards Changes To Be Seen In Envi. Sci. Dept. Several changes in the Environmental Science course offerings will be seen next year, according to Department Chairman Dr. Bruce Berryman. The major adjustment will concern the courses that are taken to fulfill core requirements. The ES 101 and 102 sequence will no longer exist, as a new 101 through 105 series will be offered. These five courses are on the introductory level and are survey-type classes, with no prerequisite. Included are 101 ·astronomy, 102 geology, 103 meteorology, 104 oceanography and 105 environmental awareness. Courses may be taken in any order and any two will fulfill one of the sequences required in the u Math-Science section ot tne core listings. Changes were instituted in response to student reaction as expressed on course evaluations and to requests for more introductory courses. Courses are not . open to environmental science majors nor are they recommended for science majors. In addition, the changes will not affect students who have taken 101-102, for that abo fulfills core requirements. The department has also expanded its offerings to its majors with new courses in geology, meteorology and water quality and has changed its name to Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. ...

The singers, under the direction of Richard Chapline, will open the program with five madrigals. Included are "Come again, Sweet love doth now invite: and "Weep you no more sad fountains" by John Dowland; "April is in my mistress' face" by Thomas Morley; "Ah, love, I laugh while singing" by Hans Leo Hassler; and "Matona, lovely maiden" by Orlando di Lasso. In the middle portion of the program, individual singers from the group will be featured. They will perform duets, trios, and quartets ranging from Henry Purcell of the Restoration period thru the Romantic operas of Giacoma Puccini. The program will close with three compositions by the American composer, Samuel Barber. Included in this group are "Let down the bard, 0 Dealh! " based on a poem by Emily Dickinson; and "Anthony O'Daly" and the "The Coolin" based on poems by James Stephens. The concert is open to the public. There is no admission charge.

The council is not to be put down for their failures because it tried to take on so much more than lasf year's council. Each project was practically a first time experience. PARKING PROBLEMS RESOLVED One problem that faces the council every year is parking and this year's body tried to alleviate the problem as much as possible. A parking ramp was considered but once it was proven that there was no feasible way of having one, the idea was replaced by proposing a new plan to the Parking Authority of Wilkes- Final Exams Reveal Their life Stories As students, most of us are aware of a negative attitude toward taking final exams, and we have developed some idea of our instructor's attitude toward the purposefulness of giving finals. However, have anyone of you ever stopped to consider what it must be like to be a FINAL EXAM? Being a final exam is not a joyous or solid existence, they may be responsible for students failing a course, or they may enable a student to raise his grade from a "3" to a "4." Perhaps you would better understand the existence of a final if you were aware of the conditions of that existence. The following dialogue was overheard and related to me by a reliable student who just happened to be hiding in the back of an instructor's closet, behind a stack of final exams. 1ST EXAM: Hey Joe!

My dad always wanted me to be a football ticket - he was a program, himself - but I couldn't "stand" the thought of all of that violence. 1ST EXAM: Violence! You think that we don 't lead a violent life? Look at our tortured existence: with the exception of two weeks out of the year, we are simply stacked and stored on a shelf in a dark and dusty closet; and then, come finals time, we are ripped from the dark environment to which we've come accustomed, and blinded by the flourescent lights .... 2nd EXAM: Calm yourself.

After marring our surface with their scratchy, liquidy objects, they attempt to undo the damage by pressing harder and harder in a back and forth motion withthose light pink rubbery stubs, until they put a hole in us and I feel I can no longer bear the abuse and you say that this isn't violence? 2ND EXAM: N·ow look what you've done ...

Upon relating this conversation to me, the student stated that he will never again complain about exams, as he now realizes that "the final existence" is only a "passing thing. " Reenie Corbett �Page 4, The Beacon, April 28, 1978 A Clean Douse I In last week's Beacon our leaqstorydealt with the party ban in Pickering Hall (NMD) due to vandalism and the easy access to the building. It also mentioned that "representatives of the nine dorms within the building agreed that NMD lacks the sense of pride and responsibility that outside dorms exhibit." Thursday night, however, when that issue came out, a small group of men from Diaz House were busy cleaning up their bathroom and painting their entire dorm. For no apparent reason other than being sick of the disgusting conditions, they made the bathroom shine. Maintenance's work has come no where near what the bathroom looked like that night. The dorm was painted a brighter color and lights were put in all fixtures making the hall look far from being considered a dark alley. We commend this small group of men from Diaz House for making the initiative and effort to improve the dorm and taking positive and constructive action. Who says there is no pride or responsibility in NMD? Thanks & Good Luck That time af the year which we have been working toward is now at hand, and is an obvious opportunity to reflect on the events of this academic year. In our case, it is the time to review the accomplishments of various student organizations, including our own, in hopes of improving our efforts for the coming year. . It is also a time to express our gratitude to the people who have helped The Beacon during this and past years. Our thanks to Jeff Acornley, our graduating sports editor, and to Donna Korba, our departing advertising manager/cartoonist. A special note of sincere appreciation to Managing Editor Janine Pokrinchak. We would also like to once again thank the Pittston Sunday Dispatch for coming to our rescue more times than it should have been asked to especially to those people who just set this copy for us. (Thanks, Anne and Tina). Our appreciation to our advisor George Pawlush, who joined us in the middle of the year, and to the many people on campus, administrators, faculty and students, who took the time to tell us when they liked what they read and who offered only constructive, intelligent criticism. In this, our last issue for 1977-78, we would like to wish the graduating seniors the best of luck and hope that the rest of us return to Wilkes next year with even higher hopes and bigger dreams. - - - - - - - - - -.

King's Student Attacks Holsberger And Praises Mumford And Rinkunas To The Editor: On Friday evening April 14 the First Annual Inter-Collegiate Variety Talent Competition was held at the Irem Temple. A total of seventeen acts competed in comedy, music and dance categories. Seven of the acts were from King's, six were from LCCC, two were from Misericordia and two were from Wilkes. The proceeds from the show benefitted the Wyoming Valley Cahtper of the American Red Cross. Lenny Collins and Steve Swiggard from LCCC won the trophy in the comedy category. Maggie Lenahan won the trophy in the dance category, and Donna Pierce won tht trophy in the music category. Both Maggie and Donna are from King's. As chairman of the show and fellow 'college student, I was disappointed in the representation from both Wilkes and Mis eri cordia . The sh ow was planned to be run at the student level allowing the student representatives from each of the colle ges to handle all the arrangements under the supervision and guidance of the Red Cross volunteers. Unfortunately there seemed to be a lack of communication between the Wilkes College representative and his fellow st_udents. Your former student government president, who was the representative for the show, also made several promises and then failed to fulfill them. One example of such a promise was his guarantee that the student government would subsidize the sale of the student tickets at Wilkes for the show. He said the S.G. would pay $1 for all the student tickets and then sell them for 50c. Three days before the show he informed me that the ~tudent government was not only not going to subsidize the student tickets, but was not even going to try and sell them or the general admission tickets . Anyone who was not able to make it to the show missed a splendid. evening of entertainment. I am pleased to say that Wilkes was represented by two wonderfully talented students. Mia Mumford played the piano and NO SMOKING-- sang a song that she composed herself entitled " Always With You." Believe it or not, Mia can't even read music. ~ Gail Rinkunas did a jazzdance entitled "Provocative Percussion." Both acts were excellent and definitely added to the difficulty the judges had in choosing the winners. Gail also helped by providing some ushers to help the night of the show. Although I was disappointed in the student cooperation from Wilkes I would like to thank Mia and Gail for the enthusiasm they both exhibited by .competing. They showed a great deal of interest in Wilkes and the Red Cross, but more importantly in themselve;i. I enjoyed working with them and wish to thank them and at the same time prove that apathy doesn 't exist in everyone in college, at least not here. Thanks again Gail and Mia, you are two outstanding people in my eyes. Dave Jenkins Student at King's , Morning has broken and so will our necks, right? Well what can we say?

A family movie that comes close to Disney, yet keeps its distance by staying just a little bit "saucier," "Casey's Shadow" is a warm drama guaranteed to rouse emotions you might have thought disappeared after you reached age 12. And, because virtue isn't a thoroughly attractive quality, "Casey's Shadow" falls somewhere between reality and dreams taking care to avoid as much as possible the realm of the fairy tale. Walter Matthau stars as a tough, gambling Cajun horse trainer who is also busy raising three sons while keeping an eye out for his "pot of gold." The surlycowboy with the constant five o'clock-shadow unknowingly receives his opportunity in the form of a quarter horse foal. Matthau and his sons (Andrew A. Rubin, Stephan Burns, and Michael Hershew as young Casey) raise the colt in hopes of training him to be a runner. The million dollar dream is plagued with obstacles as the colt suffers several leg injuries, static from a wealthy horse owner interested in buying Matthau's family out, and an attempt to poison the horse. Matthau lets nothing stand in his way, however, and is determined to win the All-American at Ruidoso Downs no matter what the cost The price is high when Matthau risks endangering and ruining Casey's Shadow by running him with his still mending injuries. His sons exhibit fading loyalty to their father's ideals and figure the attractive cash prize as the reason for M_atthau's irrationality. The scene switches to an exciting, slow-motion horse race, the restdt of which anyone can easily calculate. Predictability, however, has limited effect in comparison to the strong moral structure that echos from the movie's plot. · "Casey's Shadow" offers an enjoyable homespun story of life in rural America with a gruff, witty humor almost as stubbly as Matthau's complexion, woven within. But it's not just "kid stuff." A familiar but excellent moral appeal, which has been eliminated from most current films , is made in an effective style. Without preaching, the movie tugs at some of the values we might have to blow the dust off of in order to reapply. Friday's Special Games winning team he's doing. A remarkably sensitive, yet disciplined saga, "Casey's Shadow" is obviously a "sure hit" and definitely a winne~. Diane's Story Of Der Three Degrees If he's pitching, then I'm not batting Before entering college, one of the decisions every student must make is what course of study, or subject he will follow to earn a degree. When a major has been decided on, a list of requirements and electives is mapped out for the student to follow. Most students choose a single major, however, there are those ambitious individuals who elect a second major. They can accompiish this by taking an overloadin credits each semester or taking their elective credits in one department. But, would you believe, there are people · who have elected triple majors. When Diane Polachek graduates from Wilkes in May, she will have completed the requirements for degrees in elementary education, French, and psychology. When Diane began her freshman year at Wilkes, she was an elementary education major, and during her sophomore year added psychology. "I knew that some of the courses needed fored uca ti on, like ed. psych, overlapped as a requirement in psychology too," explained the Kingston resident. Diane also added French to her degree, having taken many courses in that department. Last· summer Diane earned an additional six credits in French when she was awarded the Foreign Language and Literature Depart m ents Scholarship. The scholarship, which was donated by Robert Salsburg, gave Diane the opportunity to study at the Uniyersity of Tours for six weeks. During J:ier stay at the University, Diane and the 50 other students who flew with her from New York to the LouireValley, stayed in modern one room dorms . The program was sponsored by Rutgers University. "I enjoyed my stay there very much," she said, "I learned a lot, and the people were great." Diane also visited Paris; Brittany and England. How does one first come to a decision such as a triple major? "Deciding early is important" explains Diane, "otherwide you can't get required courses in and decide how to channel electives." Diane never took classes during the summers or had to take an overload in credits either. With three advisors to aid her, she scheduled classes to leave enough time for clubs and tennis. Her interest in tennis began in high school, when she participated in an intermural match. At Wilkes, Diane has been a four year member of the Women's Tennis Team and Letterwomen's Club. She is currently preparing for the inter-team tryouts for the M.A.C.'s which will be held at Wilkes on May 5 and 6. Diane, along with Linda McGuire will be playing third singles. Diane, who was named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, has been active in Theta Delta Rho, the Wilkes sorority. She has served as treasurer during her sophomore year, presid~nt during her junior year and is currently senior representative. She has tutored in the Upward Bound program, in French, history, English, and psychology. Diane is currently completing her semester of student teaching, spending five weeks in an elementary school and another five weeks in a secondary school in the Wyoming Valley West School District. Ifshe had the chance to do her undergraduate years over, would Diane change anything? "No," she laughed, "I'd do things exactly the same.'' After graduation, Diane would like to teach, and then attend graduate school at Florida State, N.Y.U., or the University of Virginia to study French and Linguistics. Whatever decisions she is faced with after graduation, Diane is certainly prepared to handle them. s �Softball Team Winless, But Improving The Wilkes College women's softball team is 0-3 on the season. But, believe it or not, they're getting better. At least that is what Coach Gay ( Billy Martin) Meyers thinks. The lady Colonels, before Wednesday's home game with Baptist Bible, were winless , and having a rough time, just like Mrs. Meyers' favorite pro team, the New York Yankee hotdogs. Anyway, the ladies latest defeat was at the hands of undefeated Scranton University ( them again?) , 5-4 at- "Duh U." The club was at one point leading the Royalettes, but left 13 players on .base enroute to the ~ss. · Down, 5-4 in ·the top of the last, Wilkes did put together a threating rally, which unfortunately fell through. Co-captain Karen Olney led off the frame by getting on base via an error. After Lynn Yedlock flied out, Jackie (Brooks) Wiendl singled. Following Mary Jo Frail's fly out to first base, Kathy Poplasky walked, loading the bases with two gone. Former Meyers standout Patty Parquenti hit a hard ground ball to shortstop, which was picked up, and Patty was nipped at first base to end the ball game. "Duh U" went into the game at 9-0. Top hitter for the Colonelettes was Sue Freda, who went two for four at the plate. Karen Olney also did a fine job in the field and at the plate, according to Coach Meyers. SOFTBALL SOFTIES: ... Leading hitters for Wilkes are Sue Freda and Anita Meehan, both with four hits in three games and .363 batting averages . . .Bernie Swiderski is the club's leader in RBI's with 4. . .Freda and Meehan are also the "road runners" on lhe team with three stolen bases each . . .As a team, Wilkes is hitting .213 which is about what Reggie Jackson hits. . .Lady Colonels will travel to Marywood Today, before hosting King's College on April 29 for a home game at Kirby Park, and closing out its season with L.C.C.C. on May 4. Eddie White III Duffers Warm-up for MAC Tourney Before Wednesday's home match with East Stroudsburg, the Wilkes College golf team held a 8-2 overall record· and seemed set for this weekend's Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament. Last Friday, the Blue and Gold of Coach Rollie Schmidt defeated Lycoming College, 394-439 at the Irem Temple Country Club.

(Photo by Bob Gaetano> T • j,' Stickmen _Do Cooking Of Their Own While the baseball team's famous "Lumber Company" is knocking homeruns out of the park, the Wilkes stickmen are starting a business of their own. Last week the Colonel lacrosse team combined 32 goals in two Middle Atlantic Conference games to raise its MAC record to 3-2 and overall log to 3-4. Wilkes started the week on the right foot when thlcy edged ,Haverford College l'l-15, avenging an 8-2 loss from a year ago. The Blue and Gold offense exploded with It goals in the first half, while the defense held the Fords to four. Despite the Fords outscoring the Colonels 6-2 and 5-4 in the next two quarters the Wilkesmen maintained the advantage. "It was a little close for comfort and we're glad we mustered that strong fourth quarter or we may have gotten into trouble", noted Coach Jon Hobrock. Colonel senior co-captain Bruce Davis paced the Wilkes scoring attack with an outstanding seven goals and two assists. Davis became the second highest point-scorer in a single game in Colonel history, behind 1976 graduate Billy Winter. Winter was MVP and an honorable mention selection to the Nations All-Star team. Davis was the spotlighted lacrosseman this week, totalling eight goals and five assists in both the Haverford game and Saturday's contest with Muhlenburg. Wayne Krum and Bill Adams were second in scoring with seven goals and one assist in two matches. Krum had four in the Haverford game and three Saturday to help the Colonels to their 15-5 ' triumph over Muhlenburg for "Parents Day". Bill Adams was the leader Saturday, hitting the nets four times and assisting once. Fellow classmate Brian Blesi of Bethpage, N.Y. was third with three goals on the week and four assists in the Haverford game. Doug Price scored once in each game while Joe Burnett found the range once again Haverford and twice Saturday. Colonel senior Greg Wild managed to score Saturday, after being in a mild slump since ·the opening game where he registered four. Mark Sanders, sophomore midfielder of West Islip, N.Y. wasted little time in breaking the ice Saturday as he recorded the team's first goal as well as his first individual tally of the season. Bernie Donachie, Bill·Abrams, Joe Burnett and Doug Price turned in impressive games both defensively and picking up ground balls last week. That quad of top performers lifted 55 ground balls to Haverfords' 38 and Hobrock believed the hustle demonstrated by his Colonels made the difference Wednesday in the close game with the Fords. Wilkes freshman goalkeeper Dave Singer recorded 19 saves at Haverford and nine Saturday while Andy Dutch also saw action at goal and had three saves in Saturday's tilt. Singer was listed among the "Top Five" goalies in the MAC in the most recent release and has compiled 77 saves in the MAC and 99 overall. Looking impressive on defense were senior co-'captain John Lack, John Larkin, Steve Kinback, Todd Noll, Joe Martire and Bill Abrams. Defensive coordinator Bill MacArthur pointed to Bob Taylor, Donachie and Noll for their excellent defense at Haverford and felt they contributed the key roles in the 17-15 battle. Wilkes used a lot of its reserves in Wednesday's and Saturday's game and proved its bench is one of the strongest in the East. The Wilkesmen were idle this week and face Western Maryland for "Alumni Day" Saturday at 2 p.m. at Ralston Field. The 1978 schedule is winding down and the Blue and Gold only have three matches remaining. Hobrock is optimistic since the two matches last week served as "Moral Boosters" . Wilkes will have its work cut out for them with Maryland who was 3-0 in the MAC as of April 22, and has a player in the top ten scoring leaders. Looking ahead, the Wilkesmen host Lebanon Valley on May 3 and finish with Franklin and Marshall on May 6. Last year the Colonels defeated Lebaon Valley in a hard-fought .14-11 contest, and lost to the strong F&M squad 17-8. Sophomore Bill Adams will be well-remembered by the Lebanon Valley stickmen as he poured in six goals as a freshman last season to ruin Lebanons hopes.

John Forte, recently promoted from the Phelps minor league system, aided his team's cause with a double and a triple. "Duke" Scancerella also homered for the Fan Club in the 12-1 rout. The Phelps dynasty, compared by many to that of John Woodens UCLA squads, Vince Lombardi's Packers, and Joe McCarthy's Yankees, will now face their biggest test of the.,season when they square off this week with the also undefeated Smegmas.

Coach Tom Rokita 's netmen dropped a 9-0 decision to Bloomsburg and an 8-1 match to Elizabethtown before storming back to defeat King 's 8-1. The team record is now one match below .500 and 4 wins and 5 losses. By this time, the King's College Monar chs must finally be realizing what hit t~m. Trying to avenge an earlier 6-3 loss to the Colonels, King's was able to capture only a singl!:! point in the match. This lone Colonel loss of the day was also a very close decision, so Wilkes almost pulled off a perfect 9-0 shutout. Playing excellent tennis for Wilkes were : Mike Hromchak, a 6-1 , 6-2 winner ; Terry Collins, who won easily 6-1; 6-1; and Captain Rick Baran who had an especially easy time with his Monarch opponent, winning by a lo sided 6-1 6-0 count. This match with King 's was along with the Moravian win, the Colonels' most impressive outing of the season. The earlier matches in the week were not so impressive. Wilkes was unable to score a single point against a very strong Bloomsburg team, and the general consensus was that the team was happy to get the Bloom match over with. The Elizabethtown match looked like a replay of the meeting with Bloom. This time Bill Murtaugh managed to defeat his strong opponent but the team lost 8-1. In all fairness to Wilkes, both of these opponents are very strong and play great tennis. Fortunately, with the MAC'S coming up this week, the team got its rhythm and confidence back against King's. Following the MAC'S, Wilk es face s, Albr ight, Baptist Bible a nd Muhlenburg, If they play the way they did against King's, .500 is still within reac up with six saves and four blocks. Pam Snyder added four saves, and Cindy Rossi, Amy Gordon, Karen Polomski and Karen Burkley had three each. Rossi and Gordon led the spiking attack, with four slams each, while the team total effort looked like this : 17 spikes, 24 saves and five blocks. Monday the Blue and Gold made it two in a row, as Baptist Bible fell for the second time this season. Wilkes had to play catchup, however, as the women dropped the first game 13-15, and had to work to make up a deficit in the second before winning that one, 16-14. The remaining two games weren't as intense, as Baptist Bible fell more quickly, 15-8, 15-8. Cindy Rossi, Karen Burkley and Sally Steele served 15, 14 and 12 points respectively, while Amy Gordon played an excellent defensive game, ending up with 12 saves. She was joined by Pam Snyder with 11. Team came up with 18 spikes, only two blocks, but 34 saves to put Baptist Bible away and give Coach Saracino a muchappreciated birthday present. Wilkes' possible season records include 6-2, 5-3 and 4-4, all an improvement over the 3-5 performance of last year, and not a bad way to end this third regular season. Wilma Hurst Wilkes Hosts Tennis Tourney Wilkes will host the fourth annual Middle Atlantic Conference women's tennis tournament next Friday and Saturday, May 5-6. Thirteen teams have entered this year 's competition: Western Maryland, Juniata, Albright, Drew, Gettyspurg, Washington College, University of Scranton, Franklin and Marshall, Elizab e thtown, Farleigh , Dickinson, Susquehanna and host team Wilkes. Each team will enter one doubles team and one singles competitors. A consolation round will be played in addition to the final matches. Action on both days begins at 9:30 a .m. It's a sad story, but this is your last report on the Wilkes College baseball team from The Beacon sports page. But, you can keep track of the "South City Gunners," or "The Lumber Company" or whatever you want to call them by reading your hometown newspapers , because the Colonels have reached the status of being one of the top teams in the nation in Division III baseball. Going into Wednesday's rematch twinbill with the Royals of Scranton University at Artillery Park, the Blue and Gold of Coach Gene Domzalski owned a 14-1 overall mark, and a 4-0 mark in the Middle Atlantic Conference's North-West Division. The Colonels will meet Juniata College on Saturday afternoon in a doubleheader at Artillery Park which could give Wilkes the MAC North-West title for the second straight year, if they sweep Coach Bill Berrier's team. Since the 21-0 blasting of East Stroudsburg State College, Wilkes has gone 3-0 with a 9-5, 9-1 sweep of Delaware Valley and Richie Zisk's brother John, and Monday'i; win over a tough Ursinus College team , 7-4. Seven runs might not sound like much, but it's the lowest total for the Colonels in one game in the last 11 encounters. Now, that's a lumber company. Last Saturday was a day for the pitchers against Del Val. Senior Andy Kresky picked up his fifth win of the year in the opener, hurling six innings, and striking out 12, while allowing only four hits and two earned runs. Kresky is 5-1 overall with a 1.80 ERA and 44 k's in 35 frames . The other senior hurler, Barry Harcharufka, knotched the victory in the nite-cap, going the route, while giving up five hits, (four were infield singles ), in seven frames , while striking out 13 and giving up only one unearned run. Harcharufka is 5-0 on the year, with a 1.29 ERA and 35 k's in 28 innings. As a team, Wilkes pitching is 14-1, nine saves, with a 1.87 ERA, and 120 k's -in 101 innings. The Colonels, which as a team has banged out 29 homeruns in the first games, hit four against Del Val. Those with the roundtrippers were : Phil Marino, Bill Polaha, Gary Capece, and Lou Elefante. Elefante leads the team in homeruns with five, followed by Ken Suchoski and Terry Schoen with four each. Monday's close game with Ursinus College, might have been a blessing in disguise, as it proved the Blue and Gold can come back. Down 4-1 in the seventh inning, Wilkes exploded for a five-spot, led by Ken Suchoski's RBI double and Lou Elefante's two RBI triple, to take the 7-4 win. Suchoski is as hot as heck now, batting at a .412 clip, while leading the team in hits (27) and RBI's (26 ). Following Saturday's MAC show-down with Juniata , Wilkes will meet Kutztown State College ( Division II) for a single game on the road on May 4, before hosting the No. 2 team in Division II in the country, Upsala College, on Thursday, May 4, in a 2:00 single game at Artillery Park. · The Middle Atlantic Co:1ference championship tourney, captured by Wilkes last year, will be held on May 13, and just might be held at Artillery Park. Also, the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional Selection Committee, is considering Artillery Park for hosting this season's regional, which could be a big plus for the Colonels of Coach Gene Domzalski.

In simple terms, the College is trying to prevent itself from being responsible for people under the age of 21 who drink alcohol. These revisions include no kegs or large quantities of alcohol allowed ip residence halls; no alcohol at all allowed in the dorm lounges; all parties must be held in the SUB, where students will be stamped either as drinkers or minors. Also included is the rule that any catered off-campus parties or dances must . have a clause written in the contract stating that no under 21 will ~ served alcohol. Also all school parties ·must · be supervised by a member of the faculty or administration. Students are now being advised to carry their college ID' s to parties in order to be admitted into parties and to prove their age. According to Dean Ralston, no one initiated the revisions but rather the College reviewed the policies in order "to stregthen our social program and to meet the laws of the state." He feels the old policy was sound but needed to be revised. When asked about how these chan 0es will affect campus life, Ralston quickly com." mented that "the changes are not _very great, · merely revisions and an improvement in social life." It was pointed out that there were many · dorm parties last year but Ralston said the revisions were made to "raise social standards in decency and ordinance." To hold parties in the SUB, Ralston said that the Commons will now be available for use simultaneously. When asked if beer can be allowed in the Commons, Ralston. said that it hasn't been worked out yet. As · far as enforcing the policy Ralston said strong disciplinary action will be taken against violators but he does not anticipate . any trouble. Student Go vernment president, Steve Kirshner, feels the policy is a good one but adds that its effectiveness will probably rely on the resident assistants implementation of the policy. Joe Marchetti couldn't predict how effective the policy will be but said that resident assistants are going to be expected to enforce · it. As he noted "they can make it or break it." Jim Edwards I' ·t'he following passage is from the stµdent handbook Wilkes College does not encourage the· use of alcoholic beverages by students. Many students, however, do drink beer and other alcoholic beverages. The College respects the rights of individuals who are 21 years of age ~ho decide to use alcoholic beverages, but rs greatly concerned about the misuse and abuse of alcohol. The student who c~ooses to drink is urged to drink responsrb~y. Stud~nts mus~ be held responsible for their beha vror even rf they are intoxicated. Members of the College community are especially reminded that the State Laws of Pennsylvania pertaining to alcoholic beverages are applicable to the campus and as such, the responsibility for observance of the laws of Pennsylvania remain with each individual. The College expects every student to be aware of these · laws and of his · or her responsibility for compliance with them. r. ~ L • RY __. ., _ _ _ _ ___.,_, _ _. Old-:Faces,·NewPJc!ifes~ -~_·_ ·- ___ .: _ _ _ __ AdmiiiiStfCltiue-chClllges Made . With the start of a new academ ic year various changes in administrative positions have taken place on campus. Dr. Gerald Wouri, formerly an assistant professor ··o f philosophy, will now serve as dean of admissions and freshmen studies. According to Dr. Wouri, the diversified responsibilities of this position can be encompassed under four general areas, specificlfour general areas, specifically: • finding students who will succedd at Wilkes; evaluating applications; counseling the accepted · students in their proper course of study; and doing follow-up work on those students who may have a chance for successful . college career, but are not as academica lly prepared as most college oriented students. THE DEAN noted that a major change in the Admissions Office is the addition of a fourth person, namely, Debra Bergen. Ms. Bergen will hold the title of assistant dean of admissions. He also stated that the appointment of Ms. · Bergen will allow the admissions office to operate on a broader, more intense level. Dr. Wouri commented on the development of an admissions intern program which is currently in the planning stages. The program would involve stidents working in the Admissions Office and would give those students practical experience in case working, counseling, and interviewing prospective students. Although ·he feels that he may miss teaching, Dr. Wouri is obviously en]oying every aspect of his new job: He r - stated that "it's the most excicting kind of work I have· ever done; there is always so much going on-so many aspects of pla nning to get involved in." FORMER baseball coach Gene Domzalski will now serve as associate dean of admissions and will be working closely with Dr. Wouri. With his primary responsibility being to attract qualified students to Wilkes College, the dean noted the difficulty of this task, and attributed the difficulty to the growing competition among colleges due to declining enrollment. Although he thoroughly en. joyed his nine year coaching career at Wilkes, Domzalski stated, "I am glad for the opportunity to c hange my direction som ewhat-to get involved in contributing to the welfare of the College in a different way. " ART HOOVER, now associate dean of student affairs, wil! replace Dean Baltruchitus. Director of Alumni and Community Affairs · for the past eight years, Hoover previously served as assistant dean of student · affairs from 1962-70. Working closely with Dea·ns Ralston and Lampe, Hoover will be involved in counseling and academic advisement, student activities, student personnel, and the Student Union . Board. Well-known and well-liked among the students, Hoover is •.. . "really pleased to· be back in this kind of work." He added, "I have worked in various administrative-faculty positions at Wilkes since 1955 and this is the work I like best, simply because I . . . believe the students are central to the College." JOHN WIDTBY, previously the dean of admissions, is now the dean of special programs. His main objectives include working with students - and. cont. on p. 3 HANDICAPPED PARKING AVAILABLE Parking for handicapped persons is now available in all campus parking lots. As of nex! week_ these parking lots will be patrolled and illegal cars will be ticketed. The owner will be subject to a fine. SG Plannlnt ToENluatt Student Government, in its first meeting of the semester cited plans to make evaluations on the new .5 grading system, the teacher evaluation forms, the placement office, freshmen orientation, and the rising costs of books and the book return policy with the bookstore. The academic committee, headed by Julie · Kent,- is eval. ua ting the new grading system which introduces the new grades of 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 into the old . 5 point syste.m and teacher evaluations to determine their effectiveness. Both were passed last year through the efforts of SG. Steve Kirshner, SG president, stated that an evaluation is being made of this year freshmen orientation, which will be given to Dean Hobrock in Admissions. Dean Hobrock will be attending nationwide seminar s throughout the year on freshm en orientation. To evaluate the rising costs of book 'prices and the return policy with the bookstore, Kirshner formed a committee with members from SG, the Inter-Dormitory Council and Commuter Council.,_ Under new business, Kirshner reported that the used bookstore is open on the second floor of the Commons and urged all studentsto' take advantage of it. In a report from the SUB, the board is looking for two people to serve on the board this year. Anyone interested should contact Bob Austin, the SUB director. Serving on the board entails help scheduling parties and forming new policies in using the SUB. The film committee reported a list of 14 films · to be shown this year which includes " The Sting" which will be shown Saturday, Sept. 9, 7 and 9: 30 in the CPA for 25 cents. Students will be able to purchase season passes for all films at a reduced rate. The pas will cost $2.00 and can be purchased in the SG office in Weckesser Hall. In other matters, Kirshner informed the body that Marywood College has invited Wilkes students to attend an orientation cook-out on Labor Day from 2-9 p.m. The cost is $2.50 per person and anyone interested should sign their name on the list posted outside the JDC office by Friday at noon.

A joint · selection . committee conducted a review of those students who completed the first two-year phase · of the program here at Wilkes. A maximum of 25 students could have been admitted. This group is the fifth class to be chosen since 1974. The first class r ecently culminated the six-year program by receiveing doctor of medicine degrees from Hahnemann and ba ccala urea te degrees from Wilkes during this past spring' s commencement exercises. Word of the final selection was received over the summer by Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, Wilkes dean of health sci- ences, and Dr. Anthony Turchetti, associate ""dean at Ha hnemann.

So drink it ,down, your sorrows drown, · And cheer for dear old Wilkes! The rev1s10ns in the college's party-alcohol_ policy are the strictest regulations we have seen at Wilkes, and seem to have alreadv stir~d up _discontent in the student body. We certainly_ understand the difficulties college officials must face when dealing with the unusually high drinking age in this state, and we appreciate their concern with the college and its social climate. · It cannot be an easy task to administer a college in a state with such a ridiculous drinking law-where a dorm student somehow loses years of maturity just by crossing the state line. But we can sfe only student dissatisfaction and disappointment resulting from this action. It appears that this may be a case where the majority will pay for the mistakes and poor judgment of a minority of people who have abused the privileg-es of the former relatively relaxed policy. Granted, some students do not conduct themselves well when partying and are an embarrassment to the college and their fellow students. But this type of beha vim~ is certainly not common to most students. Most students, we believe, are mature and ·responsible enough to drink socially without creating problems. · It may be possible that the blame does not lie entirely with even that minority of Wilkes students. High school students have been known ~ crash parties and frequent the restrooms in Pickering Hall, where they indulge to .excess and are perhaps at least partly responsible for any problems which occur. Why should the responsible students at Wilkes suffer for the actions of people who should not even be on this campus? If the' proposed stricter use of IDs is intended to alleviate this problem, then we heartily support -their institution and enforceme!}t. . But we cannot agree with the apparen_t attempt to limit the social activities on campus. We agree that drinking for the sake of drinking is wrong, but we can see no harm in drinking in order to socialize at an event like .a block party, or to enjoy the company of one's friends in a relaxing atmosphere, such as the lounge of a dorm. Maybe there were enougn serious drinking problems on campus to warrent some action. We are not naive enough to believe there were none. But we cannot believe that the situation was really that serious. Admittedly, it is a good id~a to limit the use of kegs of beer, since parties of that size can become too much for an RA to handle in a dorm. But what happens when a dorm or club or other group is too large to gather in dormitory rooms, but too small to use the SUB or Commons? What alternatives are left in this situation? We believe that small private parties such as these can be held successfully in dorms under the supervision of the RA or other responsible students. In addition, RAs can and should play a greater role in regulating alcohol on campus--not by enforcing strict rules, but by being aware of real or potential alcohol problems, withing their dorms, and then assisting the student with that problem. Unfortunately, The Beacon has not yet been able to obtain a specific answer to our questions about the reasons for the recent policy revisions. The college has always prohibited underage drinking, but to our knowledge has never so restricted consumption of alcohol by all students, ·1egal or not. We realize that the administration must protect the college from legal complications where drinking is concerned, and we are not . asking them to condone the widespread use of alcohol. We also realize that even stricter measures could have been taken. A Tradition of the Past?.

Domzalski resigned after serving . for nine years as the Blue and Gold's head baseball mentor, to devote complete attention ·to his new job as associate dean · of admissions at Wilkes. . . For Domzalski, it . was the right move - more · stability, more money, and a better · chance · to furthur himself in many ways. For a Colonel baseball fari, it was a loss. A drastic loss, a loss harder to take than .any 3-2 defeat to Marietta College could· ever bring. Domzalski, a former New York Yankee minor· league standout, could of stayed on as coach and maintained his position in admissions. but thought otherwise. ''I' just don't think I could have done the program justice by remaining. as coach. My new role at the college will require a vast amount of my time and it was MY · decision to leave coaching," he stated. . In his nine years as the , ' Colonel mentor,. · he had a · career . collegiate coaching mark of 138 wins and only 43 setbacks. The last three seasons, as the Colonels advanced to the NCAA Mideast Regionals,- Domzalski's clubs . had '&n · overall record of 66-17. , . Probably the most exciting moment for the Glen Lyon native came in 1!176, when the then unheralded Blue - and Gold swept through the NCAA Division III Mideast Regionals at Mansfield State and went on to finish fourth at the NCAA Division III World Series at · Marietta, Ohio. "We came of age jn 1!176," remembered Domzalski. "For many years we knew we could compete with any Division III team in the nation, but it took our championship at the Regionals to- convince national critics that our program had arrived." · In . the 1!176 Regionlas, Wilkes was the team nobody knew anything about, but in 1!177, the Blue and Gold were the favorites. And like what happens to · the favorite along the line, the Colonels were upset and were the _ first ie.,m eliminated at the event, losing its first two -games. Sport Shorts .

Ntw Coachts Namtd Believe it or not, . this will mark the ·~h year for soccer a t Wilkes College. And believe it or not, . it will be the first year for new head coac h Kurt Hagman . . Hagipan comes to Wilkes by way of Minnesota , where he was brought up and learned t he ~ame of soccer . Hagman, who resides m Tunkha nnock, succeeds · Chip Eaton, who left the area to assum e a full-time position in New York. Hagman shows a lot of experience in the field of soccer , as he was a member .of the Westmont College (Calir.) soccer team, which captured the NAIA national championship in 1972 and 1973. Hagman hopes to bring winning soccer back to Wilkes and sees his job as a challenge. " The first -hurdle is getting_ to know the players and · adapting my system to · the soccer system at Wilkes College. But I'm ready for anything, · and I look for a good year in 1978 by the Wilkes soccer .club," he commented. Hagman will be assisted by Ernesto Lopez, a former soccer star from Mexico · City. After playing soccer in junior and high school, Lopez took up with . a semi-professional team in 1965. He pj~yed year round on Sundays for the semi-pro · club in · the Open Federal District League and during the week played for the University Qf. Mexico, representing the Collel!:,e of Architecture. ·.. · ·tlagman is shown on the left getting. in shape for the upcoming season behind W~kesser Hall with assistant Lopez, on the rig_ht. Eddie fflµte Schmidt has a lot to work with in camp . The Wilkes College football team could win the national championship in 1978, let alone a Middle Atlantic Conference title. On the other hand, the Colonels could again finish the year under .500 like its has the last three seasons. For Wilkes, the difference between winning and losing in 1978 will depend on two things. One, a capable quar tei;back to run the team, and two, a set of inside linebackers to replace the irreplacable Tony'Couto and John Lack. • For the first part, Coach Rollie Schmidt, entering his 17th season at Wilkes, feels he has a good shot to fill the void, as six prospective QB's have been working out regularly in camp. Boy, wouldn't the Miami Dolphins or Cincinnati Bengals love to have . that porblem now that both of their starting quarterbacks are out with injuries. Anyway, the incumbent candidate for the job has to be junior Mike Wilson, who finished up strong last season. The last two years have seen the Upper Marlboro, Md. native grow into a seasoned performer, and it looks like Wilson has garnered the confidence to hold down a starting role. But after all has been said, he will still have to prove it on the Ralston F ield tutL. Behind, or maybe just to the right of Wilson, is senior Bill Sia voski, out-of Wilkes.Barre' s Bishop Hoban High_ School, · who at times possesses a cannon arm , giving him the title, "The Polish Rifle." The four other hopefuls include transfer Andy Hreha, from Delaware Valley, and three freshmen: Tom Cywinski, a local favorite out of Nanticoke Area ; Tony Vlahovic, a , lefty· from Whitehall, Pa.; and Wayn!) Lonstein from Ellenville; N.J. · Finding two inside linebackers could be. Schmidt's toughest task this year. Although it is impossible •to. replace the two he had from last season, Schmidt will have to come up with a winning combo from: junior mike Patrick, freshman Mike Azure, sophomore Leonard Stefaniak, freshman Dave Hadley, junior Rich . ( Wildman) Paciej, junior Frank Dobrinskik, and . freshman Glenn Colvin. Schmidt could possibly ~witch an outside linebacker inside or even a member of the deep defensive.· secondary, but this would just set up another problem, converting more people to fill more vacated areas. On tpe first day of camp, &:hmidt and 0:,. veeted 81 candida tes. Since then a few have gone, but there. still - exists a great am.:..,nt of depth, which just might be . the secret ingredient, for the Blue and Gold to capture a Middle Atlantic Conference title. As far as the coaching staff goes, or brain-thrust, as Dan Devine says, Schmidt will have a fine group of assistants helping • him out this year. Back, as always, as offensive co-ordinator . is Jonah Goobic, as is defensive cO:ordinator Ed ( Smiley) Lukas. Assisting Goobic will be the veteran line coach; Joe Moran, and former great Wilkes receiver Joe Skvarla returns to handle this year's receiving corp. Assisting Lukas will be Charlie Graziano, with the linebackers, and newcomer Dave Kaschak, helping out with the defensive backs. 'Regardless of who is at the signal-calling spot when opening day comes around, the Blue and Gold will have some mighty powerful .runners ' behind him. Topping the list is sophomore Carmen "Hom.er" Lopresto from Pittston Area. Lopresto has the great speed and the knack for finding the open holes. · Colonel followers ar~ already talking of · a 1,000 yard season for the · Pittston Piston. Lopresto, at .only 5-9, could be one 9f_ th~ top three_ ba_c~ in the el!_tire MAC. As Pittston-Uispatch sports editor Eddie Ackerman said, " If Homer was 6-2, he could be at Notre Dame," and we believe him. · In addition to Lopresto, part of the Colonel ground attack will be coming from · tailbacks Rich Chapman, if he is not moved ··t o the fullback slot; sophomore Juan Navarro; Sean O'Dea, a rugged soph; and freshman Joe Wilk, out of Bishop Hoban. At the 'fullback spot, Wilkes fans will see a variety of talent. one of the candidates is Andy Contos. · Yes, Andy contos. The same Andy Contos, who was •a member of the Wilkes offens~ve line the last three seasoni Contos came into camp feeling he could make the club as a fullback, and Schmidt, looking for something to spark the Wilkes , offense up from a deep sleep a year ago, agreed. Behind Contos, is junior speedster Melvin Johnson, who has more moves than Gene Kelly. · Rounding out the fullback corp are junior transfer Paul Kotulak, from Nanticoke Area, via Lycoming College and freshman Joe Knox from Maine. Again, regardless of the quarterback, who ever it • is will have a great bunch of receivers to throw to, led . by junior Rob Irwin, who was red-shirted a year ago. ·other veterans include: Dave Fritzges from Dallas · Area; Bill Molnar a junior from Maryland; Cliff Jones, the sure-handed one from Coughlin; Bob Rushworth . out of Wyoming Valley West. Some top-notch newcomers, ;which are keeping the veterans on their toes, are, Ron Roebuck, a frosh · from . Hoban, Chet Pientka from Nanticoke · · Area, 'Jim Kenney from Crestwood, Jim Morrissey out of· hanover Area, and Steve Yanoshak, a transfer from Penn State. The offensive line is another strong-point · for Wilkes, being anchored by veterans Jeff Shovlin, Tom Sokola, Joel P. Kane, Jim Beck, Tom Heller, Steve Wengen, Dave Gill, and Chip Hicks. Newcomers include: Bob Botteon, Todd Nicholas, Dana Sutliff, Don Jones, Ed Robbins and Emerson Heffner. As alway;s the strongest part of the Colonels over-all attack will be the defense. There, Schmidt has more quality linemen than Rodger Bearde has leisure suits. At the almighty defensive end spots are: Pat Boylan; Steve, Croghan; Don Brown; Lue Nase; Tony Morrash; Ray Pambianco; and Jim Scott. Inside at the tackles are big Ed Mollahan, bigger Jim Devaney, and biggest Rick Krawetz, in addition to Dave Samsel, Randy Ashenfarb, and Mike Hassey. After the inside linebackers and defensive line, things start to look even better. At the outside linebacker positions are both starters from last year - sophomores Tom Breese and Tom Yuhas. Backing them up will be Jim Martin, sophomore John Frappolli, Wes Horner, Dan Pisarcik, and Neil Pufko. The defensive backfield might be the strongest of the strongest for Wilkes as alll the candidates are worth the look. Leading the way is junior co-captain David Korba, a team leader in interceptions last year, and Mike and Mark Molitoris. Also helping out will be the head-hunters Joe Shurites and Mark Arcure and top-recruit Bob Luby, Mike Gould, John Miranda, and Paul Schramm, a top freshman from Nanticoke Area High School. So there is a run down on who the Colonel gridders this year will be: What they will do and how far they go is another story. Next week, the Beacon will take a look a_t _the Blue and Gold's nine game schedule and all its opponents, in addition to providing · a preview peak of the .Middle Atlantic Conference.
