Vol.XXXIV No. 2 September 11, 1981 Wilkes Nursing Students Begin Hazelton Program By Donna Nitka August 31 marked the beginning of the Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton and both adm inistration and students are enthusiastic about it. The new Hazleton program is designed to follow the same fouryear curriculum as the - regular nursing program , but allows students to fulfill part of their requirements at Wilkes and the remainder at the Hazleton State General Hospital. Students in the program take courses in English, sociology, and psychology at Hazleton. Each class meets once a week for a three-hour period and is instructed by a Wilkes faculty member. Twice weekly the students are bussed to Wilkes to attend lectures · and do lab work in biology and chemistry. Although the Hazleton facility was equipped fo r this, t he lab facilities there were inadequate. While on the Wilkes campus, the students are also able to fulfill their physical education requirements are participate in college activities . Although most of the program beyond the beginning of th e second year isn't planned yet, it is known that all clinical requirements will be completed at the Hazleton State General Hospital with the exception of obstetrics, which will be handled at St. Joseph Hospital in Hazleton. Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen notes that because the program is new there are still problems to be solved . One such problem is integrating the Hazleton students on the Wilkes campus, and encouraging them to participate in college activities and exercise their student rights (such as voting in campus elections) . Elective courses also pose a problem . Although these problems have been discussed, no detailed solutions have yet been reached. Dean Hartdagen feels that "there will be things we can't anticipate and we have to be flexible enough to deal with them. " The new p rogr am offers the possibility of expansion to the Nur sing Program . The Hazleton State General Hospital has housing facilities and a nursing library . Dean Hartdagen stated that in the future it may be possible to upgrade the present lab facilities and hire a staff of nurses primarily for the Hazleton program. This would permit the students to complete all their requirements in Hazleton and might also allow the acceptance of more students to the nursing program. It is anticipated that within three years there will be more than 100 students in the Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton. The students' overall reaction to the program is a positive one. Even though many feel the class days are long, most find the program very challenging. It is however, a challenge they are happy to accept. As Leanne Bart, a student in the program, said, "I think it's wonderful. " communications Department Adds Three Part-time Teachers To Faculty By Thomas Jordan Before the 1981 fall semester began, the Communications Department of Wilkes College had planned to hire a full-time Communications teacher. Since that time, however, plans have been changed, and the department has instead added three part-time teachers to the faculty roster. Dr. Thomas Kaska, Language & Literature Department Chairman, stated that the chief reason for the decision was that the department Inside: Senior Recruiting p.2 Damon Young p.6 Neu, Cross Country Coach p. 7 could not find a suitable person for the job. Kaska commented, "We can't find one full-time teacher we feel has the right qualifications." Kaska also feels that there is not enough work for a full-time teacher in Broadcasting alone, and that the department needs a person with knowledge of each phase of communications. The three part-time communications teachers . include : Dean Phillips, anchorman on WBRE TV , who is teaching a mass media course; Don Horner, producer of the 6 and 11 p .m . News on WBRE, who is teaching a production course; and Carol Oliver, who is teaching in the Speech Department. Kaska feels these people are all qualified in th eir respective fields and will teach in the spring semester if they are available. Dr. Kaska added that "there are distinct advantages to having someone who is actually working in the field , because they know exactly what is going on in the field ." Dean Phillips made a similar statement, saying that no one can explain what is going on in the news room or how hectic it gets without · having been there . The Comm unications Department will continue advertising for full-time teachers of communications studies, though Kaska feels that part-time teachers will work out well for this year. · HAZING ::-- Three newly-initiated women of McClintock Hall proudly model their hazing costumes .

By Lisa Gurka Since its beginning on January 5 of this year, the Job Location and Development Program (JLD) has placed more than 100 students in jobs in this community. The program is again in operation this se mester . Approximately 60 studen ts have already been employed since the start of the Fall semester, according to Karen Alberola, the program's coordinator. Those students who are presently enrolled at Wilkes may participate in the program. JLD not only provides a listing of available employment through the job bank , but also tries to identify and develop jobs with · businesses. Students are then matched, according to their abilities and preferences, with the job openings. Alberola commented, "There has been an increase in the number of' students placed since the beginning of the ·program." Interested students are invited to stop in and register for the program. The offices are located in Roth Hall, 34 South River.Street.

She denounced the recent act of vandalism as did Dean Hoover, Advisor to SC. The glass trophy case was broken into sometime between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Sept. 7 and several trophies were stolen. Both Nunez and Dean Hoover urged students to contact them or Coach John Reese if they have any information concerning the vandalism.

Rob Doty, chairman of the Constitution Committee announced that any new clubs or organizations forming on campus must devise a constitution. This_ constitution must then be approved by Doty and student government. He also mentioned that all clubs must'' have a representative to attend the up-coming Presidents• Treasurers Meeting scheduled for September 29.

Ana Nunez, President of SG , stated that "the best way to utilize the tremendous potential on all three councils is to cooperate." Bill Lourie, IRHC President, said that he is looking forward to a great year with CC . Commuter Council President Joe Knox, commenting on the early results of insufficient communication, reported that the concert Sunday night, Sept. 7, was poorly attended because "the final decision was late and the publicity was late." Originally, the day-long All College Picnic was to be held on Sunday, but the three organizations decided during the week to have the concert, which Knox referred to as "a compromise from the picnic ." Knox also reported that all parking spaces have been distributed to commu ters. He said that all recipients were notified by phone over the weekend. . Two new services to be offered by the Council this year will be a car-pool referral system and an L.C.T.A. "Flash Pass". The pass will cost $18.00 and will allow the holder to ride the buses one month for no additional cost.

He announced that the prize-winning performances came from the freshmen of Sullivan, Gore, and Webster Halls. Lourie expressed the possibility of IRHC repeating the ·Follies again next year. The upcoming regional conference of the National Association for College and University Residence Halls was the first item covered. under New Business. The conference, which will be held in November, offers a variety of seminars• and -_workshops designed to aid students in th~, operation of a Residence Hall Council. Lourie noted .that membership in NACURH entitles.Jl:l.~_Council to the use of NACURH's National Information Center, which pro~ides reports on events sponsored by other NACURH merpb~rs. Committee selction was the next matter of business covered. Every IRHC rep rec!lived a list of all IRHC committees, along· with a description of each. They then indicated the first three committees on which they were interested in working. The IHRC ·officers wiJI review all the applications and, by next week, will publish a list containing the name of the committee and that of each of its members . In his closing comments, Lourie stressed the responsibility each rep has to the students.in his hall . He noted that the IRHC rep's duty as a representative includes not only taking information from the meetings to the students, but also bringing problems or suggestions from the students to the meetings.

Wilkes College - the freshmen and transfers. A special committee carefully plans for the assimilation of these new students into life at the college, through an extensive orientation program . Everyone should be familiar with . the activities planned by the orientation committee - speeches, discussions, testing and, of course, Playfair. Another program of orientation also takes place, but not during the formal Orientation Weekend . This orientation is also carefully planned and thoroughly carried out. _However, this orientation lacks the approval of the administration, and the formality of the program mentioned above. And instead of refering to it as Orientation, most students prefer to call it hazing. In the residence halls, hazing is a procedure through which boys and girls (new resident students) become men and women, through the courteous planning of long-time residents of the hall. Translated, this means · anything from silliness and fun to public humiliation and embarassment. ,, _ Hazing.can be fun . Dressing up the new ·students in bizarre com.br~ations of clothing, taking them to the cafeteria tied together at the wrists and ankles, sending them on scavenger hunts and making them wait on upperclassmen in the cafe are relatively harmless methods of initiation. But threatening students with being blackballed if they fail to participate in hazing, making students physically ill during hazing or forcing them to do anything which they would consider humiliating is certainly not fun, and may even be cruel. Hazing can be a good way to meet a lot of new people. In fact., the scavenger hunts -going around to different halls and asking upperclassmen for specific items - were started to provide a way for new students to meet upperclassmen and other new students. But in recent years, and especially this year, the new students may have been introduced to other students under conditions that were not at all amusing and in ways that were humiliating or degrading. Of course, the circumstances of hazing always prove a little embarassing, but the degree to · which a student is embarassed has increased. The peer pressure to participate in hazing has also increased. Previously, everyone was expected to take part in the activities, but the consequences for not doing so were few. This year, however, students in one residence hall were warned that they would not be allowed to go to sleep B~ACO~ Letter Policy Letter to the editor kl:e welcom~ title deemed as fraudulant by the . ed from all interested parties.

One student, as a result, did not return to her room that night, but instead spent the night with a friend in another residence hall. Other students were threatened that they would be ostacized by all members of the hall if they did not participate in hazing. To a student in unfamiliar surroundings, such threats are serious, and are not taken lightly. There is no reason for such intense social pressure. If hazing activities are limited to those that are fun and not embarassing, most new students will be willing to participate with very little reluctance. But if a student is unwilling to be initiated through. hazing, for whatever reason, he or she would not be pressured into doing anything he or she is afraid or greatly embarassed to do. Hazing should be an experience to remember for its fun, not for its humiliation. There are many harmless ways to initiate the new students. The success of Freshman Follies last Friday night can attest to that. Every year there are new threats that hazing will be stopped entirely on this campus. Instead of allowing next year to be the year this happens, let's make it the year that hazing is reivembered for the fun.

The library has on display four unique rooms containing exhibits which reflect, through their design and memorabilia, the individuals for which they are named. On the first floor of the library, past the card catalogue, are two rooms dedicated to two of the most influencial members of the Wilkes community. The Eleanor Coates Farley Room was constructed to honor the wife of the first Wilkes president, Eugene Farley. The room captures, through its design, Mrs. Farley's interest in the arts. The Admiral Harold R. Stark Room commemorates the military career of Admiral Stark, who also served as Chairmen ,of the Board of Trustees at the college. The room reflects the dignity of the Wilkes-Barre native who became a major military figure during World Warll. Two additional collection rooms on the second floor · display, through their decor, the efforts others have made toward the advancement of Wilkes. Gilbert Stuart McClintock, who succeeded Admiral Stark as Chairman of the Board, is remembered through a collection of personal memorabilia and literature, much of which recounts the history of Wyoming Valley.

By Lisa Cobb There are many sources of information available to students at Wilkes College. One such source is the Susquehanna River Basin Association whose director, Damon Young, has his office in the basement of Franklin Hall. The Association's job is to insure the orderly development of the river, according to Young. This simply means that the Association guards against improper use of the which Young believes will contribute to fun outings for adventurous students. Young feels that the key word of the organization is "education. " The association's purpose is to educate people about new legislation, the value and uses of the river, and the recreational benefits the river offers. "Whether people realize it or not, they inadvertantly use the river," he commented, citing the Charmin Paper Company as on_e example. Some people of water before it reaches its end. Other concerns are the marine life and industrial use of the river and Chesapeake Bay. While on a cruise in the Bay recently, Young learned that only two fishing companies remain at the Bay out of the one thousand companies present only twenty years ago. The life in the Bay is affected by the water which flows into it, and the Susquehanna River donates over 50 % of the fresh water supply of the Chesapeake Bay. Good planning requires charts and mapping. Young hopes to map the Susq ueh a n n a for re cre at io nal, -boating, fishing, histqrical, and trail-guide purposes. The River Basin Association serves as a watchdog and·promoter of the Susquehanna River. Young said students can drop in any time with any questions they may have concerning the river. He said that he is also looking for student involvement. He is presently working on a canoe trip in which he hopes students will participate. The trip would begin in New York state, near the source of the river, and work its way back to our area . The participants could take pictures, do some water quality testing, and speak to persons in towns along the way. Information about membership is available. If you are interested in any of these activities, contact Mr. Young at Franklin Hall. CLUB DAY - At Club Day last Thursday, 33 clubs and organizations were present, trying to attract new members.

This project would involve high-school students from twenty-five school districts in the three states through which the Susquehanna runs. The students will test the water quality of the river in their district on a weekly or monthly basis. The organization also sponsors and promotes recreational activities on the river.

" When there is no eminent danger, people become apathetic. Another key word to the organization is "planning." As an example , Young cited the Delaware River.

All the Wilkes sports teams will be doing something on Saturday, be it opening day or that one final scrimmage. Best of luck to all the teams and, of course, congratulations to the athletic department. It wasn't a very easy summer for those in charge of the school's sports programs. Surprise! Coach Righter is leaving for a better job. Boo! Nobody is capable of salvaging a dying lacrosse program. Sour grapes abound and .,the evercolorful Tracy Cloth, for one, is going to school somewhere else. Oh no! Dave Kaschak is leaving too? Two physical education instructors are gone. Righter was basketball coach and cross country coach, so· make that three gaps to be filled . Kaschak was the baseball coach, a football assistant, intramural director; make that four more gaps. The Athletic Department couldn't take any old bum off the streets and say, "You're our man, buddy!" It takes thinking, hard work, planning, and a lot of skirting of red tape in order to screen all the applications • With last Sunday's announcement that Bob Duliba will become the new baseball coach, we can all sit back and relax. Believe it or not, we're covered now. "It was a long summer trying to get things organized, but I think we came out in pretty good shape," said John Reese. Duliba was pitching coach at Wilkes four years ago before taking a head baseball coach position at nearby Wyoming Area high school. He is still going to be that school's athletic director, so he will be working at Wilkes part-time, a member of the coaching staff. No classes no te about either becoming a permanent part of the coaching faculty or being canned. The same holds true for basketball coach Jim Atherton. He coaches here, but his job is at Luzerne Community College. He is the Director of Student Activities and Athletics at LCCC. He, like Duliba, is considered by very many people as a member of the "very best around" club. We have 'em both . The other gaps will be filled in a variety of ways, too complicated to explain with so little space. The main men to keep in mind are the two new members of our coaching faculty, Steve Siegrist and Bart Bellairs. Both are excellent young men and John Reese will be the first to agree. In seven years they will be up for tenure, so it is too soon to be speculating . . . maybe. With a tenure policy, the school decides after seven years of service whether or not to keep a member of the faculty. Gene Domzalski baseball coach here for six years, but took another position with Wilkes. It's been a success story for him ever since. Coaches Reese, Schmidt, Saracino, and Meyers are all have tenture. They all have the security with which to build up strong athletic programs. Whether or not tenure is good or bad is a matter of opinion. When the Athletic Department has its next meeting, which should be in a few weeks, one item of discussion will be the tenure policy. Should the coaches be considered staff? Is tenure bad in a way but better in the long run? The process of examining these questions and then coming up with answers will probably take a few years. That is, if the athletic department prefers the staff idea. If not, then tenure will ' nother bi decision. was New Cross Country Coach Brings Enthusiasm and Versatility to Athletic Department By Ellen Van Riper Jim Atherton, the former head "Motivated" and "involved" are mentor at Luzerne County Comthe words which best describe Bart munity College.

The team's opponent was the Wyoming ValJey Club, which is comprised of players from the valley who either coach the sport or who have already graduated from college teams. The club team gave Wilkes a good game, but they just could not score against a tough Colonette defense. Wilkes ended up the game on top with a final score of 3-0. The ladies showed a balance scoring attack. Scoring in the first period was junior Diane Hall. Later on in the match freshman Sue Defrates and Michelle Weiss put one goal each in the cage. Freshman goalie Tracy Kelly spelled Val Frey in the second period and had an excellent debut. Altogether, the hockey team look- Bart Bellairs is the new crosscountry coach. His motto: "Don't mistake activity for achievement." hard working and eager to start the season . This kind of anticipation has infected the entire team , and Bellairs himself anticipates a successful season. Athletics and a concern for other people are both important to Bart • Bellairs, but he also has other main interests: his family and Christianity. He was raised a Christian, and his convictions have led him to become involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. As a matter of fact, one thing he would like to do is start a chapter here at Wilkes. His involvement in religion makes his commitment to other people much more understandable. During the course of the interview, he also discussed his ultimate goals in life, of which there are three. In the area of athletics, his goal is to- eventually coach an NCAA Division I championship basketball team.

By Mark James Last year the Colo~ls had a somewhat dismal season, winning only three of nine football games. But the Blue and Gold begin this season with a fresh battery of good freshmen recruits to add to a young but experienced squad. "They're a great bunch of kids," Coach Schmidt explained.

With weekly evaluations of each player's performance, the members of the defensive unit should be pretty competitive all season. Lucas will be looking for the guys that can hustle in order to give the Colonel defense better potential. The interior defense will lack experience, but the quality is there, so a little extra determination will be needed as the season· progresses. This year's offensive squad will have a balanced formation with two backs and two wide receivers on either side of the formation. The unit's predetermined attack will include option, trap, and misdirection plays. Twelve lettermen will be returning to the offense, but two players that will be missed will include rushing great Carmen "Homer" Lopresto and last year's freshman quarterback George Hall. Returning this year will be of- fensive captains Tony Madden and John Yankovitch and defensive captains Mike Azure and John Millisits, all of whom are seniors. Coach Schmidt said the senior leadership this year is outstanding. This is not a rebuilding year, but the majority of the players are young. Many of this year's sophomores had experience last year, and it will only be a matter of time before the freshmen players become better acquainted with the Colonel system. On Saturday the Colonels will be traveling to Princeton for what should prove to be a good preseason workout. Wilkes has scrimmaged Princeton in the past, and it usually provides a good test of each squad's respective strengths and weaknesses. Coach Schmidt will be entering his twentieth year at the helm. He has been working hard seven days a week in preparation for the upcming season. With the season opener against' the Upsala Vikings only eight days away at Ralston Field, the hard work for Schmidt, his staff, and the team is just beginning. According to Schmidt, the MAC North is pretty competitive; on any given day any team can emerge victorious. The first task at hand is to learn what tactics work best. The Colonels will have to find that out tomorrow. Sports E"ents September 12 Soccer vs. the Alumni at 2:00 p.m. at Ralston Field.

With three weeks of practice already under their belts, the Blue and Gold of Coach I Schmidt will be getting prepared all next week for the season opener against Upsala at Ralston Field, September 19. Team-Hampered By Go&lie Injury By Mark James With some weaknesses in bench strength, the Wilkes soccer team will be hoping to stay healthy in what may prove to be the team's best season in three years. The team has already been hurt by an injury, however, and the loss could be phenominal. Returning goalie Bob Bruggworth was coming along very well in the preseason, but last Sunday in a scrimmage against Keystone Junior College, Bruggworth broke his ankle and will be out for the season. Coach Ernesto Lopez was so impressed with the senior goalie that he said he felt he was working with All-Star material, but now Lopez is faced with the task of training a replacement for Bruggworth in just one week. Two likely candidates for the job include freshman Paul Dougherty and junior Mark Barson, who is in his second year on the team. So far it looks like Dougherty will be starting the season with the difficult task of filling Bruggworth's shoes . Onlv three seniors return this year, 'but the team does have a "fine crop" of freshmen, some of whom will see a good amount of playing time. This year's team is a good, closeknit group of guys that may be lacking in experience, but not in enthusiasm. Coach Lopez said, "All of them have the same skill and they arc working together. There are no stars.·· More than likely it will be a matter of team effort in determining the 'success of this season. "We try to pull together because we don't have excellent players," Coach Lopez explained. Wilkes will be opening its season Saturday at 2:00 p .m . at the Ralston Field against what senior Mike Brodigan described as "a very improved Alumpi team." The afternoon should prove to be enjoyable. One thing fans should look for is the speed that all players can get on the ball. The grass on the field may be a bit high, which may hurt the Colonels more than it could help them. The team will be playing eight of thirteen games this season at home. Incidentally, few, if any, of the players are from the Wyoming Valley. As a sport, soccer has not developed in this area as it has in other places. This does create some recruiting problems for Lopez, but fortunately, there are enough outof-town students at Wilkes to put together a decent team, as long as they can stay healthy. "If we don't have any injuries," the coach explained , "we can go through this season better than the past two years." Wilkes will be taking on . powerhouse rival Scranton at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Ralston Field. SPORTS NOTICE "The thrill of victory . . . the agony of defeat." Sports coverage can be as rewarding and challenging as sports competition itself. If you have a knack for putting the action of sports from the field into words, share the action wit.h your fellow students by applying for a sports - writer position with the Beacon.

At this meeting, organization charters with Student Government will be renewed fo r the 1981-82 academ ic year. Student Government President Ana Nunez noted that the "very in- . formative" meeting is mandatory for those organizations which plan to request funding or support from SC. In this case, the organizations' constitutions must be renewed. The most important aspect of the meeting, however, will be the proposal of establishing a Presidents' Council. Nunez states that the purpose of this coµncil is to provide greater communication between Student Government and clubs and organizations at Wilkes. by Mary Kay Pogar soth Anniversary Planned by College ; Celebration Serves Double Purpose by Donna Nitka The 1981-82 school year will be a special one for the Wilkes community. It will be during this time that the college observes its fiftieth anniversary. While this year is a year of planning, next year will be one of celebration. Thomas Kelly, Dean of External Affairs, notes that the anniversary celebration will serve a double purpose: to recognize the founding of Bucknell University Junior College, now Wilkes, and to augment the relationship of the college with its constituents. In response to requests by Wilkes-Barre community leaders, Bucknell University Junior College was founded in 1933. As interest grew, it was decided that a four year institution of higher education was needed in the WilkesBarre area. Bucknell University agreed; in 1947, Wilkes College was established . According to Dean Kelly, two categories of events are planned for the year of celebration. The first is designed to include Bucknell University in the festivities . An inaugural convocation will be held in September, 1982, at which the presidents of Bucknell and Wilkes, the chairmen of both Boards, the entire Wilkes faculty, and the Department Chairmen of Bucknell will participate, in full academic regalia. Other events include intercollegiate athletic contests, faculty interchanges, exchanges of art exhibitions, cultural exchanges, and Presidents'•Treasurers' Meeting Set For Sept. 29 Inside: Presidents' Council p.2 SG President p.6 Neu, Basketball Coach p. 7 Also at the meeti[!g, club leaders will be informed of the procedure for obtaining funds from SC. Other topics on the agenda will be the Social Committee schedule and upcoming activities on campus, the organizations activity _ file devised by Nunez, and publicity rules and suggestions. According to Nunez, the presidents .a nd "treasurers of all organizations which have a charter with SC are requested to attend. Nunez also encourages other club members to attend because of the meeting's importance. She further mentioned th.e success of last year's PresidentsTreasurers Meeting and anticipated an even more successful meeting this year as a result of the large participation in the recent club day. possibly a student interchange. Dean Kelly stressed that the means of faculty and student interchange, and of cultural exchange, have yet to be decided. The second type of event planned involves the college community and the city of Wilkes-Barre. Activities include a Founders Day celebration in September, 1982, and several Wilkes Alumni Symposia, which will deal with topics such as law, health care, business, and education. A history of the college will be written; Al Groh, Director of Cultural Activities, will serve as editor, and Dr. Edward Hartmann will serve as editorial consultant. Dean Kelly added that President Capin had named Community Relations Coordinator John Chwalek coordinator of the anniversary celebration and W. Carey Evans, chairman. Dr. Lou Rigley and Jean-Michel Cousteau are shown during one of their excursions on the May River, investigating the feeding behavior of dolphins. Rigley AndCoastea■ Obsreve Dolphins by Mary Kay Pogar As an animal behaviorist who is active in research, Dr. Lou Rigley of the department of biology has received recognition for his work from his colleagues and students of fish behav ior. Soon, however, Dr. Rigley's work will be appreciated by a much larger audience when a film in which the Wilkes professor appears with Jean-Michel Cousteau and other scientists is released for television . The film, entitled, "Warm Blood of the Sea," will include ten minutes of footage of Dr. Rigley's research, the investigation of the feeding mechanism of dolphins in shallow estuarine marsh. With his wife, Ida, and two Wilhs students, Val Van Dyke and Karen Haring, Dr. Rigley spent about four weeks this ·summer on the May River in Bluffton, South Carolina. As a result of their investigation, they found that the dolphins caught small fish to feed on by chasing them toamud bank and sliding up on the bank to catch them . Dr. Rigley has been working with the Cousteau Societ y for three summers. He is team Direc- · tor for Project Ocean· Search Atlantic, a project designed to determine ways to protect the environment. This year, however, marks the first time hetJisappeared in a film for TV. He feels he is "fortunate to have had an opportunity . to make a Cousteau film." The film will be released for television in January. �Page 2, The Beacon, September 18, 1981 College Hires New Security Com-p any Nunez Proposes ~e.., Council 0/ PresidentL by Thomas Jordan On March 30 of this year Wilkes College hired a new security agency, Globe Security Systems, to patrol the campus.

The first session of the Presidents' Council is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 27, but more definite plans will be made on Sept. 29, at the Presidents' and Treasurers' Council. This council meets once each year, and all campus organizations holding SC charters must attend . Searching for that ..other world" gift .... but at a price that's down-to-earth? ..\ Wednesday, Sept. 23 · by John Finn The establishment of a new campus organization, a council that will be composed of the presidents and leaders of all clubs and student groups at Wilkes, will be discussed at the second annual meeting of the Presidents' and Treasurers' Council on Sept. 29. For those involved it will mean the opportunity to have direct contact with at least 800 students who the three main student organizations, SC, IRHC, and CC, cannot reach . For Ana Nunez, President of the Student Government, it will mean the fulfillment of a campaign promise. The Presidents' Council, as the organization is now called, is intended to be a "source of communic~tion between all clubs and organizations on campus and Student Government," according to Nunez. She envisions a council that will meet monthly and discuss a variety of topics concerning club activities, methods of improving and strengthing organizations, and (FOR W ILK ES COL LEG E STUDENTS ON LY) J -ALSO SEE THE LA TEST IN FALL FASHIONa FOR TODAYS ACTIVE WOME N t,__,..._,..._,,,._,,,._,,,.._,,,.._,,,-j-_,,,._,,,.._,,,.._,,,.._,,,.....o--_,..._,,,-_,,,-_,,,-...,...,-..,8: <=:::::>IN Wk -- >-k Mk W• • �September 18, 1981, The Beacon, Page 3 Guest Speakers Attend SG Meeting The second speaker was Mr. John Chwalak who spoke on the upcoming 50th anniversary of Wilkes College. A special one-year program, beginning on Sept. ·25, 1982, will be held to honor the college which began as Bucknell Junior College in 1933. Many special events have been planned for the students and alumni of · Wilkes with Bucknell University participating. Chwalak mentioned how Wilkes has matured into a highly recognized institution. He hopes for enthusiasm and suggestions from students and alumni. By Doug Fahringer Two guest speakers attended last Monday's St11dent Government meeting, both urging student involvement from Wilkes students in -their endeavors. The first speaker was Mr. Bart Bellairs, one of the new coaches at Wilkes. Bellairs is in charge of intramurals and stated that he hopes this year's competition is more exciting than that of the past.

Concerning last week's movie, "Caddyshack," Film Committee Chairman Elaine Kerchusky said the movie was extremely successful, making $144 with approximately 575 people attending. Keith Sands, Chairman of the Academic C orrimittee announced a meeting for all members on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. in the lobby of Miner Hall. He said that 16 Students and four SG reps join~d the committee. In other business, Amnicola Editor Michelle Bandola anticipates the arrival of last year's yearbooks by the end of October. She further noted the good attendance by freshmen at the past meetingfor all interested students. The Student Center Board recently held a meeting in order to revise their charter.

Pringle also noted that students who submitted books may receive their money or used books in the SG office, second floor of Weckesser. Tickets must be presented in order to receive any money. Knox Plans Negotiations With Park & Lock Director By John Finn The likelihood of a price increase next month for Park &-Lock discount stickers was announced Monday night at the Commuter Council meeting. Joe Knox, President, reported that the price may · rise to $14. 00 per 20 stickers, an increase of $1.00 from th'e lower rate . offered at the end of the· spring semester last year. Knox said he would meet Tuesday, Sept. 15 with Luther Brackell, the city's director of the Park & Lock complexes, and would attempt to negotiate a price reduction . The price increase, which was authorized by · the City CCJ11ncil, was justified as necessary due to spiraling costs of operating the facilities. Because Wilkes students provide the largest single bloc of customers to the Park & Lock South from September to May, the council may have considerable leverage to negotiate for a price decrease. No CC meeting is all sad news, however, and Monday night Bart Bellairs, a new member of -the Wilkes Athletic Department (he says he's not just a coach), introduced his plans for this year's intramural program . "I love to see crazy things," Bellairs said, and suggested events ranging from chess tournaments to mud wrestling (the mud wrestling received a more favorable response from council members). Bellairs is from the University of Illin_ois, and although he is relatively new and still a bit unfamiliar with the Wilkes Campus, he said he realizes the difficulty of involving many commuter students in intramural activities. He is considering having the intramurals on Sundays or during club periods. "They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all," stated Richard Myers, Executive Director of COPUS, "but lr\;ay it is better to have written and Jost· than to have never written at all." Myers was referring to the letter-writing campaign he has •been conducting this semester .as part of: a lobbying effort to·.urge members of Congress to prevent· any further reductions in student financial aid programs . The semester's first Lunchtime Coffeehouse is set for Thursday, September 24. Amy Elias, Coffeehouse Chairman, reported that Tom Rago will perform from 11-1 :00 on the first floor of the Student Center.

Few, if any, of these promises are kept once the person is elected to that office. · As she campaigned for the office of Student Government President, Ana Nunez promised to establish an organization composed of all the presidents and heads of the clubs and organizations on the Wilkes campus. Her reasoning behind this was based on the fact that communication between the three main student organizations Student Government, Commuter Council and the InterResidence Hall Council and the remainder of the organizations on campus is · usually poor. She proposed to establish a council which will meet monthly to discuss methods of improving communications and relation- ! ships among the various clubs and organizations. Nunez's campaign promise is likely to become a reality in the near future as she presents her proposal at the annual meeting of the Presidents' and Treasurers' Council on September 29. For Nunez, it will mean the fulfillment of a campaign promise. For the clubs and organizations on campus, it organization and improve their relationships. will mean a chance for clear, open communication.

Thus, Ana views her work as a service which "somebody has to do who wants to do it." Commenting on the service aspect of Student Government, Ana states, "I feel good about what I'm doing. Though this job requires much stamina and is not the kind of job that allows me to wait for applause, I receive much internal gratification for doing it. Personally, I have benefited from Student Government by meeting the challenge of dealing with many people, but most of all,dealing with each person as a unique individual. " In dealing creatively with criticism, in particular, "armchair critics, " Ana states, "Criticism is great if the armchair critics are willing to makethecommitment of action in order to change things for the better. " In the same tone of voice, Ana adds, "I have experience and can recognize problems needing solutions and areas needing improvement. But, most of all, I enjoy trying to make improvements where they are needed. . Ana hopes to end the year in this frame of mind: "During the last week of school, I hope that I and my fellow Student Government participants wish that there was just one more week so that we can do just a little bit moreanother project to work on or another activity to plan . ----NOTICE---Replacement Elections will be held on Thursday, Sept. 24 .

Recent Hersheypark Trip Exciting For Participants By Doug Fahringer The morning was cold and foggy as students gathered in front of Stark Learning Center, waiting to leave for the third annual Wilkes Day at Hershey Park. The day warmed up and the sun shone the entire afternoon with approx• imately 60 students participating in the exciting day at Hershey. Two school buses were used for the trip with the majority of the Wilkes participants using their own transportation. Not surprisingly, the students quickly made their way to the ever-popular "Super Dooper Looper," "The Comet" or one of Hershey's newest rides, "The Pirate." As the day went on, some tired students stopped at the dolphin and sea lion show to rest and be entertained by the lovable animals. One unsuspecting Wilkes sophomore, Mia Mumford, was volunteered to help feed a dolphin . She was easily persuaded by the animal trainer to put a slimy fish in her mouth. Mumford took the gag well and delighted the entire aqua arena crowd. By 7 p.m. that evening, the exhausted Wilkes students all made their way back to the parking lot to load the buses. This year's trip to Hershey Park was not as successful as those trips in the past; however, the students who took advantage of the trip to "Chocolate Town, U.S.A." all seemed to have a great time.

I y A Player ,s Coacla t erton • ru ITwo In PreseasonAction Mark James by Kim Smith Saturday, Sept. 12, was an unofficial field hockey day at Ralston Field, for hockey was played continuously from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon . The Wilkes women played three games, and by the last game one could tell that they had had a long day . The first game featured Wilkes against a tough Keystone Junior College team. This was more or less a warmup game for botlteams as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Defense was the name of the game as both teams found opportunities to shoot at each others goals few and far between. In the second game Wilkes displayed a bit more offense as they defeated Messiah College 1-0. Michelle Weiss displayed excellent stic;k work in moving the ball down the field, and after three shots at the goal, Debbie Cometa hit in the winning tally. Goalie Val Frey had a good game and recorded some brilliant saves. Game three finally saw the Wilkes ladies put it all together. The final score of 3-0 indicates that they played well both offensively and defensively. Freshman Jeanne By Basketball has not only been a big part of James Atherton's life; his life has been a big part of his coaching philosophy. The former Luzerne County Community College basketball coach is truly dedicated to the coaching profession. Now that he is coaching the Wilkes basketball team, we can probably expect to see some changes in this campus sport. The team may undergo some changes, but for the most part, Jim Atherton will remain the same. In twenty-five-years of coaching basketball, James Atherton has been developing an outlook on basketball comparable to an outlook on life. He feels one must have pride and discipline in everything one does . He knows his team may lose to a superior team, but he doesn't want the members to defeat themselves. "I am interested in those who play for me not only as players, but as human beings," he said, adding that this is greatest strength any coach could have, putting aside knowledge of the game. While he has been teaching the sport to players, Atherton has also been learning from them. He said, "Learn to the day you die. In life you either progressor regress. It's Dougherty scored her first and second goals of her college career in leading the Wilkes attack. Another freshman, Kim Kramer, added the other goal. The Lady Colonels kept the pressure on Mansfield throughout the match and kept the action in the Mansfield end of the field. Occassionally the opponents were able to push into Wilkes territory, but co-captain Diane Hall, usually a standout on offense, showed her versatility and played excellent defense to thwart the Mansfield attack. It was a lon·g, hot day for the Wilkes ladies, but the games provided them with experience for the upcoming season . The WOil!en will play host in an alumni game on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 11 a.m. ATTENTION ALL WOMAN BASKETBALL PLAYERSII I There will be an organizational meeting of the Wilkes women's basketball team on September 24 at 11:30 a.m. in Weckesser Annex.

During his years as coach, James Atherton has learned a great deal, and aiso about hi5 players. He knows that they must strive to ao their best not only in basketball as athletes, but also in life, as people. The point is this: Jim Atherton does not just look at the ability of a player; his analysis goes much deeper. In basketball, as in life in general, these are obsticles to be faced. Most people want to be successful in their life, but many are not willing to truly sacrifice and strive to attain success. Working with his teams, Atherton has not only looked at the ability and quality of his players, but he has examined their willingness to give an honest effort.

The Wildcats of Western Maryland would prove to be a tough opponent; they have been the MAC champions for five consecutive years. Even with a mist of intimidation engulfing them, Wilkes came out fighting. The offensive attack was led by setters Cat_!iy Dudick and Debbie Kramer and hitters Ellen Doty, Sally Fisher, Ellen Van Riper, and freshman Jennifer Golding. On the defensive side, the non-stop blocking of Cathy Dudick, Sally Fisher, and Ellen Van Riper could only temporarily prevent the Wildcats fromscoring.

The very next day, Saturday, Sept. 12, the team participated in a tournament with the University of Scranton and Allentowm College at the South Franklin St. gym. The Lady Royals of Scranton are always tough competitors for Wilkes, and Saturday proved to be no different. Scranton was tough, but so was Wilkes. Wilkes did a great job on service returns and hitting. Defensive blocking was also very good , but not .good enough to stop Scranton's scoring drive. The Colonettes bowed respectfully to the Royals 15-6, 15-2, and 16-14. When it came time to play Allentown College, the sweet taste of victory was something the team longed to savor after two days of defeat. After falling to Allentown in the first two games 15-8 and 15-6 Wilkes turned on its offensive hitting and defensive blocking machines to beat Allentown 15-12 and 15-13. · After the game Coach Saracino commented, "The girls have worked extremely hard, and I am proud of them and very pleased with their progress. The scrimmages on Friday and Saturday were very tough, and the girls iearned a great deal from them. Our girls realize where their mistakes were and now are working on correcting them. One big factor that has kept the girls going is the fact that they are all well-conditioned athletes." The Wilkes team is looking forward to a tough, but rewarding season. If they continue to play as well as they have been, they will surely repeat last year's championship season. Upcoming games for the ladies are Sept. 21 against Upsala at King's College and Sept. 22 at Scranton. FOOTBALL ACTION Wilkes vs. Colonels Upsala Vikings by Ell_ en Van Riper The Wilkes College cross country team opened its 1981 season with a decisive victory over Elizabethtown College in an away match held on Sept. 12. The final score was 17-38 as new coach Bart Bellairs chalked up his first victory. Wilkes totally dominated the match as they placed six of the top seven runners. Ken Pascoe, senior captain, and Dave Levandoski tied for first. The seventh runner was first-year man Chuck Harris. Bellairs was pleased by his team's showing, but he felt that the meet was not a true test for them . The reasons for his reservations, he stated, were that the top Elizabethtown runner was sick, and also that the program was rebuilding. He commented that . . _ this Saturday's meet against Kings' and Delaware Valley, both strong teams, will provide him with a better indication of his team's orospects for the season. The meet ~ill be run at Kirby Park and is the opening home meet for the team. Cross Country scoring is different than that of most other sports. The idea is to amass tle .., lowest score possible. Each team must have five runners place or they are disqualified . The places have the values of 1 point for first, 2 points for second, and so on . The top five finishes for each team are added together, and a winner is determined. The rule of adding place scores makes cross country a The Wilkes soccer team held its annual alumni game at Ralston Field team sport, for each team is only as on Sept. 12.

Non-profit organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 Professor Refuses To Move •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••.•••••••••••••••• ~ •••••••••• Students Unhappy With Crowded Classroom by Mary Kay Pogar The number of students in a class varies from one course to another; in one class, the1e may be three students, while in another there may be 150. In Economics 231, Applied General Statistics, there are 128 students in lecture. This number would not be significant, were it not for the size of the room in which lectures are given. A large number of the students in the statistics course have complained that the room, Parrish 56, is inadequate for a class of that size. As one student remarked, "It's not exactly conducive to learning. It's too crowded ." The counseling deans have noted that the students in the course are unhappy with t he situation. The deans further note that while there have been no complaints about Dr. H owar d Williams, the professor who teaches the course,. or about the material, few are satisfied with the class because it is toocrowded . According to one dean, "This situation is not something to which the students are accustomed ." Considered by many business majors to be one of the most difficu lt courses in their curriculum , the statistics course consists of three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Lee- tures are given in Parrish 56, where the tablet armchairs are arranged in rows of chairs 12-13 across and 10 rows long. Dr. Williams uses the blackboard during the lecture, but he insists, ''I'd rather th.a t the students listened to what I'm saying rather than trying to see what I'm writing on the board." He also notes that he does not write on the lower half of the board, so that students in the back of the room do not have to strain to see what he has written. Some students maintain, however, that they still cannot see the board . Students in statistics must attend lab two hours every week. In lab, students have the opportunity to gain practical experience by using the calculators and machines available. Last year, there were three lab sections for the class of 90. One extra lab section has been added this year fo r the 128 students. As a result, the labs are slightly more crowded than they have been in the past . One student remarked to a dean, "Lab is a zoo. There's no individual attention ." Recognizing that Parrish 56 might be inadequate for a class of that size, Doris Barker, Registrar, informed Dr . Williams that room 101 in the Stark Learning Center is available during the time period in which Economics 231 is scheduled . '}'hen asked· whether he had considered using room 101 for the class, Dr. Williams stated, 'Tm not moving." He feels that "It is not critical to move. There is not an adequate reason for moving the class to 101. It's not that bad ." He notes that a few years ago, when he taught the class in Parrish 33, some students had to stand fo r the fi rst two weeks of class because there were not enough seats. The statistics professor also pointed out that in almost any classroom the students use the tablet armchairs, so they would have the same area of space on which to write as they would in any other room. The main difference would be in the distance between seats. Dr. Williams states, "What difference does it make if yo ur neighbor is eight inches away or a foot and a half away?" Dr. Williams is aware of the complaints which some students have made about the class. But he notes that "The drop rate is less than in other years." One of the counseling deans noted that the drop rate for the statistics course is not very high since the students who take the course are juniors or seniors who need the course to graduate, and who can not afford to drop it without jeopardizing their chance to graduate on time, RUBBING ELBOWS Students in Economics 231 , General Statistics, literally rub elbows in Parrish 56, the lectu re room fo r the course. Nearly 130 students crowd into this room three timesa week fo r a statistics lecture. since business majors have a "very tight schedule ." Complaints about the crowded conditions in Economics 231 will probably continue throughout the semester. Dr. Williams seems to have no intention of moving the class to 101, so students in the course will have to learn to tolerate the situation. Some have begun to resign themselves to the class and the room in which it is taught. As one student remarked, "It's not that bad, but it gets kind of hot in there.It would be better if it was in 101. " Beware: Do you dare enter "The Cavern"?

Annual Campus Event Since Early Years--------------------- 'Hazing' Continues Long Tradition At Wilkes by Mary Kay Pogar Anyone who ate dinner in the cafe during the first week of school was treated to the sometimes amusing sight of new students in bizarre outfits eating their evening meal in an equally bizarre ma nner. Anyo ne who lived in or FRESHMAN INITIATION - The freshmen in this scene from 1961 ·e shown in the required initiation costume: Wilkes <links and blue and ' ties. Since 1961, freshman initiation has changed in format. but not ~~e. around a residence hall that week could not ignore the rousing activities associated with the practice of new student initiation. Drenching the new students with gallons of water, dressing ' them in as. few articles of clothing as possible without being arrested, and instructing them to ask resident hall students of the opposite sex for personal items, are just a few of the activities that have been a part of the initiation program for the past several years. But another dimension has been added in recent years: strong warnings from various members of the administration that freshman initiation, or hazing, as it is frequently called, will be strictly forbidden on the Wilkes campus. Such warn[ngs are not entirely new . An article in the September 18, 1970 issue of the Beacon reports that hazing would be outlawed on campus since it had failed in its purpose to "bring the freshmen together," but seemed tu perpetuate "reminders of ,class distinction" instead. In addition, some of the upperclassmen had "compelled freshmen to remove the private property of neighbors in the community." Obviously, hazing has not ceased, even though some of the problems cited in 1970 still occur. . Freshman initiation at Wilkes goes back farther than 1970 . Hazing has been part of the social life at Wilkes almost since the school first opened . According to George Ralston, Dean of Student' Affairs, initiation had its start about 1946 when Wilkes students, about 70 % of whom were WW II veterans, wanted to start school traditions and create school spirit. Student Government enacted the suggestions made by the students and Dean Ralston, and an organized program of initiation began. During the entire period of initiation, which could last from the middle of September to the first week or more of October, fres hmen were required to wear large identification tags with their name, major and hometown printed on it. They also wore <links, blue caps that resembled beanies. The men had blue and gold striped ties, while the women ca_rried Wilkes pennants and could wear makeup only on the right side of the face. Upperclassmen could stop a freshman any time during hazing and demand that he or she light a cigarette, recite the alma mater or sing the drinking song. At the end of the hazing period, the lettermen held a · mock tribunal, with one letterman serving as Chief Executioner. At the tribunal, freshmen who had failed to respond correctly to an upperclassman's request during hazing was tried and given a punishment. The punishment was mild ; . it may have only involved reciting or singing the drinking song in front of the entire assembly.

The new equipment includes an Ampro Broadcast Console, turntables, monitors, and a cart machine. According to Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Director of Broadcasting Services, the main reason the station bought the new equipment is because the old equipment was "worn out ." Kinney explained that the old equipment was army surplus, and was 17 years old. He went on to say that because of the amount of new people that join the station each year, the condition of in studio B, the production studio. "With the new equipment, we now have the ability to switch from studio A to B for live news reports from our news department, pretty much like commercial stations do," commented Ray. WCLH got its start ten years ago. In the beginning it was considered "just an extracurricular activity," commented Kinney, and no one really took it seriously. Under the guidance of Thomas Beck, advisor to the radio station at that time, the station grew and became a corporation. Kinney stated, "If you look at WCLH today, it's a big business. He have now tied into the academic program .'' He went on to say that the broadcast production class is producing a 30 to 60 minute show that will possibly be aired over WCLH. Some of the bad elements, such as the theft of records, have also been eliminated. Ray explained that Music Director Jim Groblesky has instituted a program that enables the staff to check up on the records . WCLH boasts of offering the widest variety of music, news, features and sports of any college station in this area. The station reaches over a sixty mile radius, and broadcasts seven days a week, 18 hours per day. "It's not a game," Kinney stated . Ray agreed, commenting that the members of WCLH "don't just learn radio . They learn committment, responsibility and management.'' Both Kinney and Ray agree that the station has progressed into . the equipment deteriorated. Starting this semester, however, steps have been taken to maintain the quality of the equipment. Station Manager Stan Ray will train and test each new member. Each will be required to pass a written test, and demonstrate his ability to work the control board . Before a new member gets his own show, he must be apprenticed . That is, he will be assigned to a full time disc jockey in order to learn how to operate the board. DJ's must also check the condition of the equipment before and after each show, and fill out a checklist to note any problems. The old equipment was installed Hazing Has Long History Continued f~om page 1 In the mid-1950's, most of the veterans and older students had graduated and hazing fell into the hands of younger students, who had come to college immediately after high school. At this point, initiation became less effective, and more violations occured, according to Dean Ralston. But it was not until the 60's that freshman requirements were abandoned. In 1968, a policy to protect the freshmen was enforced. According to this policy, a freshman who was forced to do anything degrading could file a complaint with student government against the upperclassmen, or even prosecute the student . After this policy was started, freshman initiation was outlawed, and the practices went underground. The individual residence halls then took over the responsibility of initiating freshmen at the college. Initiation is still in the hands of residence hall members. Although each group differs in the particular aspects of hazing, some common factors remain . Every residence hall takes its freshmen to the cafe in unusual fashions . Togas are popular articles of clothing for initiation as are nightgowns or pajamas. Later in the evening, the freshmen continue their initiation by visiting dorms on campus and asking for personal items or singing songs with lyrics that won't be printed here. Some freshm en are required to play Simon Says, others must try to build a body pyramid with baby oil smeared on their backs. Whenever a group of freshmen leave a residence hall, they are showered with several gallons of water from the roof or balcony of the hall. These activities may seem harmless, but some m_ay pro__ye em- barrassing or degrading for some students. In addition, there is significant social pressure to participate in initiation, although this year, R.A.'s were encouraged to inform the new students that they were not required to take part in initiation if felt they should not. Few students choose to avoid initiation; most tolerate it .andmany enjoy it. Many of the new students believe that the activities help them to meet people and learn about campus life at Wilkes . Deans Lampe, Ralston and Hoover agree that initiation does not have to be a negative or disappointing experience, as long as the situation can be controlled. . However, all three also agree that much of the control is now gone. Housing Directors Paul and Jean Adams support the deans on ·this point, and believe that initiation, if it is controlled, can be continued. No decision has yet been made concerning the possibility of banning initiation from campus, but Dean Ralston states that the student leaders will get together withthe deans to decide if it should be permitted at all. If the student leaders decide to continue initiation , controls will have to be devised or Wilkes may soon see an end to all freshman initiation .

Ray said that these programs are usually only available to people who have short-wave radios . Ray credits Program Director George Saba with making the initial contact in getting some of these programs. Another new feature of WCLH is the Public Service Department. Until this year, one person was responsible for taking care of the publicity for WCLH, receiving l]Ublic service announcements and • getting them on the air. Kinney felt that this was too much responsibility for one person, and divided the job. Linda Krawetz is the Public Affairs Director and handles the in-house work.

Myers mentioned that federal student assistance programs are in grave danger of being substantially reduced. He, therefore, noted the importance of student action to prevent any further financial aid reduction. All Wilkes students are urged to write to their respective Representatives because they have the final say on this issue. For more information concerning the matter, contact Richard Myers at 824-4651, Ext. 349. Three fund requests' were also made at the meeting. The first reading was made by Chris Lain and Mario Silvestri representing the Human Services Club. They requested $150 for the Blood· Donor Day scheduled for Oct . 29 . Another reading for a fund request was made by Bev Rotherey for the Biological Society. The organization asked for $800 from SC to help subsidize a field trip to the Asseteague and Chincateague r---------, Islands . The second reading for a fund request was made by Dave Capin, chairman of the concert committee. The request of $60 for 10 student security guards' shirts was passed by the organization 17-1-0. Capin also discussed the possibility of jointly sponsoring big name entertainment with "The Station" in Wilkes-Barre .

Un•■ccess/ul In Atte•pt To Reduce Park& Loclr Price• by John Finn The attempts last week by Joe Knox, CC President, to obtain a price reduction for student discount stickers for the Park & Lock South complex were unsuccessful._ The stickers will be $14 .00 per 20 for at least the next two months . In two months Knox will again talk to Luther Bracknell, the city's direc tor of public parking facilities, and attempt to lower the price. An effective solution to most students' parking problems was offered Monday night by Clayton Bloomsburg, the marketing manager for L .C .T.A. His message was simple: ride the bus. Bloomsburg discussed the advantages of riding the bus, and shared the statistics of the LCTA's recent surveys on what he called "the Bottom line": saving dollars. According to the survey, in many cases, depending upon the distance travelled, students can save up to $90 or $100 each month by riding the bus to school instead of driving. The Council also voted unanimously to support housing alternatives proposed by IRHC . Bill Lourie, IRHC president, defined housing alternatives as the "co-habitation of males and females in one building." The alternatives are being considered for the new residence hall now under construction on South River Street.

The results of the hearings indicate that the outlook for students in need of financial assistance to continue school is bleak. The committee voted to appropriate 2.37 billion dollars towards the Pell Grant Program. However, this is far short of ""the 2. 65 billion dollars that was budgeted for this program. Should this amount be approved by Congress, many students will suffer from the cutback next fall. For the N.D .S.L. program, the committee voted to appropriate 186 million dollars of the 286 million for which it was originally budgeted. Failure to increase this amount will force thousands of students out of this program. Also, the committee voted to appropriate 215 million dollars for the S.E.O.G. program, an overwhelming decrease from the 370 million dollars originally budgeted for it. The total amount of which all the federal aid programs were reduced in the subcommittee hearing is 581.8 million dollars. Should these figures be adopted, many students will be unable to continue in college. Now is the time to let your representatives in Washington know you r dissatisfaction with these appropriations. COPUS, the Coalition of Independent College and University Students, is concerned about these cuts and is starting a major letter -writing campaign to representatives. You, as a student, must get involved in this campaign. Write a letter to your representative. Let him know that these appropriations will be devastating to students. Even if you are a senior, or have no need of financial assistance, remember that 83 % of Wilkes students receive some type of financial aid, and they need your voice to make their stronger. If you are unsure about the format of the letter, stop in at the COPUS office on the second floor of the Student Center. The directors of COPUS have sample letters available which can be used as a guide in writing your own letters. COPUS also has a list of congressmen and senators, so that if you are not sure who your representative is, COPUS will tell you to whom you should write. Finally, COPUS will even send your letter out for you. Just bring it to the COPUS office and they will take care of it. If you have any further questions about COPUS or the most recent budget cuts in student financial aid, visit the COPUS office, or call them at Ext. 349. Time is running out and your voice is desperately needed. (Our thanks to COPUS for most o.f the information in this editorial.) Columbus Day Great Race Will Utilize Susquehanna,Facilities Many communities use the Susquehanna River for all types of recreational activities. Labor Day is a day of more activity on the river than perhaps any other day of the year. Communities such as Lock Haven, Harrisburg, and Williamsport plan their Labor Day festivities around events on the river in their areas . In Wilkes-Barre, on Labor Day, the river is not used for any planned activity. However, on October 11, 1981, Columbus Day looks like an exciting day based around the Susquehanna. The Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Northeast Pennsylva nia Environmental Council, will sponsor the first Annual Columbus Day Great Race. The Columbus Day Event is actually a triathalon, or relay, featuring running, bicycling, and canoeing activities. Four-person teams consisting of one runner, one · cyclist and two canoeists will compete in the race. The teams are divided into male, female and mixed categories of ages 16-29, and 30 and over. Age groups are determined by the average team age. A five-mile running race around Kirby Park will start the first leg of the triathalon. After the runner finishes the five-mile jaunt, a wrist band is passed to the cyclist, who will pedal from the park upriver to West Pittston, where the final leg of the Great Race will begin. The canoeists, after receiving the wrist bands, will paddle down the Susquehanna River to the finish line at Kirby Park. Each participant will receive a T-shirt with the triathalon logo printed on it, as well as trophies being awarded to winning teams in each division. Many local clubs and groups ·are serving as aides or consultants to the "Great Race": The Wyoming Valley Striders, Wyoming Valley Bike Club , Scranton Kayak Club, Murgas Amateur Radio Club and the Susquehanna River Basin Association . Falcone Beverage of Pittston is sponsoring the race. I urge you to support this event, whether you and your friends. or family enter to race or have a fun day together, or even if you come to the river's · shores and cheer the canoeists along their way down river. These types of activities involve many people from all communities and will help to make our area a more exciting and £unfilled place to live. · Applications are available at the Susquehanna · River Basin Association office at 165 South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.

George Ahearn (717) 286-6662 and his family traveled to Porto, Portugal. The purpose of the award is to better relationships between the Portuguese and Americans. Larsen said that a person gets a different perspective when he lives in a country, as opposed to someone who just passes through. He attended school while he was there, although he took no courses for credit. He belonged to the school's choir and traveled with them when they went on tour to the countryside, staying one night in a building which he says is the closest he'll ever get to a haunted-house. Larsen said he made many friends aside from the Portuguese students. He was surprised at how many Poles were staying in Portugal. He commented that it was very hard to realize that these people were on the opposite side of the political fence. He also met people as he traveled through Europe. His family 's trip took him to Switzerland, Italy, the Vatican, Austria, France, and Spain. He has many adventures to share about his travels, including a bullfight and an occassion when Spanish police held him and his father at gunpoint because the police thought they were revolutionaries. Larsen's trip to Portugal was not only a great experience but also served to motivate him to write again. He had stopped writing while in college but began writing again while in Portugal. He had attempted a short .story as a freshman; he worked on a longer story while in Portugal. He has since continued writing and is in the Creative Writing class this semester . Larsen is carrying 20.5 credits although 3 of those credits are audited. He is a member of Cue 'N Curtain, lntervarsity Fellowship , the Physics, Chemistry , and Engineering clubs, the Wilkes C?llege Choir and the Manuscnpt Society. He also appeared in one of the four one-act plays written by Dr. O'Neill this past week . Larsen is an active student with varied interests. He is always willing to share his adventures in Europe as well as any experiences he has had. I could tell that he likes sharing with people . He is certainlv an asset to our campus. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WANTED TRAVEL REPRESENTATIVE $$$ HIGH EARNINGS$$$ FREE TRAVEL BENEFITS National Travel and Marketing Company seeks assertive, highly motivated individual to represent its collegiate travel vacation programs on ·campus.

Nehring predicted, only after she has become adjusted to the new posi, tion and surroundin gs. One change she would like to initiate concerns ethics courses . Nehring stated that medical ethics courses at Wilkes have traditionally been taught by the Philosophy Department. The courses, she has learned, are always filled and continue to remain popular with students . But Nehring sees the need of a course which deals with practical ethics. "Medical ethics are not what I mean by health-care ethics," she stated . She explained that not all situations which arise ' in hospitals are dramatic or crisisproportioned, and that future nurses must be shewn the practical sides of the ethics questions . Nehring is positive that such a course will be offered in the future. Dr . Nehring has published a number of , reviews dealing with such varied topics as Commtmications and flelationships in Nursing, Maternal aJKI Child Health Nursing, and the New Hespital Supervisor.

STATE CALL TOLL FRH 800,223, t 782 �September 25, 1981, The Beacon, Page 7 I ~thle:te: 0f The:We:e:R Jennifer Golding by Ellen Van Rifer Now that the fall season has gotten under way, the Beacon Sports Department is once again selecting an Athlete of the Week. This recognition is bestowed upon on athlete who, in the opinion of the sports department, has excelled the most in the area of athletics during the previous week. The first recipient of the 1981-82 year is Jennifer Golding of the women's volleyball team. Jennifer is a freshman biology major from Valparaiso, Ind . She decided to come to Wilkes because it was a small college which offered an Air Force ROTC program. Coach Saracino can thank that organization, for Jennifer has already proven to be an "allaround, disciplined player who knows the game" and a valuable addition to the team. Last Thursday, Sept. 17, the SPORTS EVENTS September 26 Soccer vs. FDU Madison at RSalstonbFiel23 d (2 :00). eptem er Soccer verses Baptist Bible at R ls F . Id (3·30) a ton ie · · team opened its 1981 season against Elizabethtown College. The match was well played by both teams, and Wilkes unfortunately was defeated 3-2. During the match, Jennifer's play could best be described as consistent, for she served ten aces, recorded two kills, and amazingly only committed one error. This was a spectacular accomplishment, but she achieved it in her usual low-key, steady manner. Jennifer is a rather quiet person who lets her actions speak for her. As a matter of fact, the only emotion she displays on the court is when she spikes, for then she becomes a demon. Like the rest of us she does, however, liave her own unique idiosyncracy. It could be called an expression of her personality, for she wears an abnormally large wardrobe to practice. Everyday she comes to practice wearing a sweatshirt big enough for · a person three times her size and shorts which hang down to her knees. She says that they are more comfortable, but the team thinks that slie is weird and a bit superstitious, and she is affectionately known as "Bags" and "Droopy Drawers". The season is still young, but Jennifer already believes that this year's team will be successful. If she keeps playing the way she has been, the team cannot help but to find suc◊-ess in 1981 and perhaps an MAC bid. September 29 Women's Volleyball vs . Dickenson at the Gym (6:30).

The opponents that day were the Bluejays of Elizabethtown. With the very first serve of the game, everyone present knew it would prove to be a fast-paced and action-packed match. Non-stop sets and powerful kills helped Wilkes to win the first game 15-12. In the second and third games Wilkes lost some of it s team coordination and communication. Although the offensive attack was still very much alive, the defensive wall began to crumble. Wilkes couldn't find a brick-layer fast enough; inevitably they were defeated 15-12 and 16-14. At the sound of the buzzer, signaling the start of the fourth game, the Lady Colonels became relentless aggressors. With their awesome scoring drive le.d by hitters Ellen Doty, Sally Fisher, Jen- nifer Golding and Ellen Van Riper, the Colonelttes clipped the Bluejays · wings with .a score of 15-10. In the fifth and final game of the match, both the offensive and defensive machines lost their momentum. Service, blocking and hitting errors prevented Wilkes from capturing the match. Elizabethtown walked away the victors, with a score of 15-9. Although the Lady Colonels were defeated, statistically the women did much better than their opponents. Total team kills were twenty-one compared to nineteen for E-town. Service aces totaled thiryt-eight for Wilkes and twentyeight for E-town. On the individual level, high scorers for the Colonelettes were Ellen Van Riper and Cathy Dudick with six points apiece. Jennifer Golding and DebDie Kramer had ten service aces and Cathy Dud4ck had seven. Soccer Tea1& Kicks Off Season With 2 Lo•••• by Mike Brautigan On Wednesday, September 16, the Wilkes- College soccer team opened up their regular season play against perennial powerhouse Scranton University. By midway through the first half, Scranton had outplayed the Wilkes team by putting constant pressure on the Colonel goal. At the end of the first half, Scranton led Wilkes 2-0, scoring both goals on Colonel defensive mistakes . The second half of the game was a DECKOU R'S BEER Across from Bishop Hoban Ph. 822-7045 -Imported...,.__ -Colcl .....Callln Advance fot Kegs and Quartet's (Must have LCB Card) fiasco for the Wilkes team. The Colonels could not gen~rate any offensive pressure on the Scranton goal; and they could not contain Scranton's strikes . The Royals scored eight more goals at will, devouring the Colonels 10-0 . This was a low ebb for the Wilkes soccer team. Assistant coach Kelly Noseworthy, former MAC soccer standout, commented on t,he play of the Colonels: "We have a young team which is inexperienced; and we basically are in a rebuilding season. Losing to Scranton 10-0 does not surprise me because they are nationally ranked, but I think we could have made a better showing." On Saturday, September 19, the Colonels took their game down Interstate 80 to play Upsala. The Wilkes squad showed signs of im. provement and more team play in this game. After a 3-0 loss to Upsala, don't write the Colonels off this early in the season. What the Wilkes team lacks is a more formidable offense that can take some of the pressure .off the defense. Without an aggressive offense, the team is forced to play catch-up soccer. The Colonels' next game is on Saturday, September 26, against F.D.U. Madison Upcoming games for the Colonelettes include a big match with their cross-town rivals, King's College, on Friday, Sept. 25th . On Tuesday, Sept. 29th, they face Dickinson College. Intramural• Begin Soon by Ellen Van Riper This year's intramural program is being run by new cross country coach Bart Bellairs, and it promises to be uniquely different from programs of past years. This new program is specifically designed for the non-athlete and stresses fun activities. Right now there are men's and women's flag football teams, men's and women's tennis, and on Sunday there will be a frisbee golf tournament at Kirby. The majority of the activities are being held during activity periods and on Sunday afternoons. Even though the program has already started, it is not too late to sign up. There are sheets posted at the gym and at Weckesser Annex. Nobody will be able to participate unless they have signed up beforehand . Coach Bellairs stressed that the program is for all college students, and that he is willing to listen to suggestions. This fall he plans to add some other activities to the program, such as an iron man and iron woman competition in which each participant must complete a course which includes running, swimming, and bicycling. The winter program tentatively includes basketball, volleyball, inter-dorm chess and pool competition, table tennis, and bowling. The tentative spring program includes two rather unique activities, mud-wrestling and a crazy-man run, and a more "sane" softball program. The program is still being refined and more activities and events will be added, but it already looks as if it will be fun for everybody, commuters and dorm students alike, and will have an event to please just about anyone.

Young Cross Country Team Gets ·S low Start by Ellen Van Riper On Sept. 19 the cross country team held its first home meet of the season at Ralston Field . The Colonels hosted two powerful, ex. perienced teams, Kings' and Delaware Valley, and went down in defeat 32-25 and 32-24 . Coach Bellairs was a bit disappointed that his team did not win, but he was more pleased by the members' overall performance. Freshman Dave Levandoski was the top Wilkes runner, placing third in the meet overall. Coach Bellairs said that he is looking forward to ·big performances by his freshman runner. He feels that Dave has the potential to place in this year's MAC championships, and perhaps win it in the future. The other top runner was senior captain Ken Pascoe who has been a consistently good runner throughout his career at Wilkes. Bellairs pointed out that of the ten men on his roster, seven are first year runners, so he anticipated a stiff challenge from both Kings' and Delaware Valley which have veteran teams. Dela ware Valley ran the meet much as he expected, _but Bellairs was surprised by the strong showing of Kings'. He would have naturally liked to have won, but Bellairs stressed that it is important for the runners not to peak before November and the MAC's. All teams go to the championships, so he feels that it will be more important to win later on in the season. This week Bellairs will welcome back two injured runners as the team faces Scranton , Kings', and Muhlenberg in an away meet on Friday, Sept. 30 . by Mark James Last week Ralston Field was invaded by the Vikings - the Upsala Vikings, that is. In Wilkes' very firs t possession, th e Yi kes plundered through the Wilkes line, blocking and recovering a punt in the Colonel endzone. By the time their attack was over, Upsala had walked away with a 41 to 19 victory, their second win. For the Colonels, it was opening day. Upsala got the .ball first, but didn't go anywhere after Mike Gould intercepted his fi rst of two passes. Wilkes took over control of the pigskin and went nowhere. Then the punt was blocked; the tide had turned to Upsala, and Wilkes failed to score in the fi rst half. "Something like that tu rns the emotional tide," coach Schmidt explained . "You have highs and you have lows." The Colonels were unable to score, and fou nd themselves behind at halftime, 17-0. When the second half began, it was the Colonels turn to get high, at least momentarily. The Colonels charged onto the field and back into the game. Both teams failed to mount a serious threat in the first sets of downs. Wilkes fumbled the ball away first, but Upsala could hot capitalize on the play. The Colonel,s got the ball back, but Upsala intercepted, and it looked like Upsala was going to continue their conquest . SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES by Mark James So we lost. We'll lose again. So what's the big deal? Sure, nobody likes a loser; and if the Wilkes sports keep losing, ·t he fans will be :mre to shy away from Ralston rield or the gym. Then the Beacon ::.ports Department could print boring lengthy editorials about the ecstacy of sport and wny we should feel guilty about not going to the game. Don't go. The hell with it! Make yourselves useft1l. Study. Get a job. Volunteer time to the nonprofit organization of your choice. But what about your friends? The guys and girls in your dorm or neighborhood chose to compete on the Wilkes sports teams because they enjoy playing. It's not for glo ry, it's for fun. Our teams lose With a second and four horn midfield, the Wilkes defense introduced itself to the Upsala quarterback. On a passing play, the Colonels managed to break into the backfield and pressure the Viking quarterback. He got rid of the ball in time, but Pat Walsh was there to haul in the errant throw and romp 53 yards fo r Wilkes first touchdown. The emotional tide coach Schmidt had talked about began to turn in the Colonels' favor. With the score now 17-7, Wilkes kicked off to the Vikings . and on the return, produced a fumble. With the offense deep in Viking territory, there was no way Wilkes couldn't score, and in a couple plays Todd Horn crossed the goaline from two yards out. Suddenly, it was a ballgame. Wilkes missed the extra point attempt . The score: Upsala 17 - Wilkes 13. For the rest of the game, The Colonels would never get closer . Up sala sco r ed th ree m o r e touchdowns before Wilkes managed to score their last· touchdown of the game. After a pass interference play gave Wilkes good field position, quarterback Jerry Goss went to the big man, Tony Madden , who made an over-the-shoulder grab from 22 yards out to finish the scoring for the Colonels, An attempt for a two point conversion failed . The Colonels lost . Now what? "Work harder," Coach Schmidt answered . "See where our major Whoarethe real losers? / The athletes or the fans? too often to be glorified, but every time they step on a fie ld they are, in a sense, winning. They're winning because they are doing something they like to do. They're trying, and improving. They are becoming better individuals for their efforts. This is the real score. If you don't want to go· to the games, don't go . You are not obligated to see one single game. Who cares? The players care. The guy in your engineering lab or the girl that sits next to you in Econ . care. With or without fan support they will persevere. They love sports. They'll enjoy each game because it means a lot to them . It makes one wonder. Who are the real losers? The athletes? Or the fans? Nobody has to o to the Wilkes sporting events. Not even the athletes. They do it by choice. Why does a team have to win to get fan support?So wh~t if we lose! The athletes have a good time. They take the good with the bad, the wins with the losses . If Wilkes students could show the same kind of good sportsmanship that the athletes show, they would be much better off. Going to Wilkes' sporting events is · not some sort of chore. It's a good time! It's a cheap date, a time out with the boys (or girls), a chance to scream and yell and even complain when we lose. Nobody has to go to Wilkes' sporting events, but it wouldn't hurt trying. There's nothing wrong with checking out a game or two every now and then. It's a good time. deficiencies are and try to correct them." It was a tough loss to a team that had already beaten powerhouse Trenton State last week. Upsala is a much improved team and both victories were very impressive. Next week, Wilkes will take on Lycoming in Williamsport. The Warriors have 31 lettermen returning from last year's very successful 9 and 1 season. Last week, Lycoming lost a close one to Susquehanna, the Colonels third rival this year. FIELD GOALS: All three quarterbacks did get some playing time for Wilkes. Jerry Goss was the most successful in the aerial department, completing three of ten for 44 yards. Lonstein completed one of nine for- six yards; and Rodgers completed 2 out of 2 in the fi nal seconds for 37 yards. George Simms was impressive in the rushing department with a total ol 42 yards, but he didn't match the perfo rmance of Upsala's Dave D'Andrea, who covered 121 yards. · Statistically, Upsala had a total of 16 first downs, while getting 166 yards on the ground and another 143 yards in the air. Wilkes managed to get 6 first downs and 131 yards overall. Last week, Wilkes was the pick, 17-7. This week's pick: Lycoming by a landslide. Let's all hope this pick is as off target as last week's. The Cavern is coming! The Cavern is coming! Going to an athletic event is not a sacrifice. Students go to the games because they care about their frien ds on the teams, their school and themselves. The anticipation, the laughter, the cheers, the joy and suspense - it creates a sort of pofarity between the team and the fans. It brings about togetherness, belonging, and caring. The best part of going to the Wilkes games is that it is a much better time than reading boring columns on fan support. Face it, everyone has a chance to check out a game every now and then. Excuses can be made, but they are usually shallow. Some people go to sporting events more often thar others; some like it more than others. The worse thing to do would be to never try. If this happens, fan support will die. The teams will play. The athletes will have a good time. Some fans will show up, but it just wouldn't be the same. We could make it better. Let's hope so, for our own sakes.

Vol.XXXIV No. 5 October 2, 1981 Tljfi Non-profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 Concert And Lecture Series Receives Grant by Amy Elias The Concert and Lecture Series of Wilkes College, directed by Alfred S. Groh, has recently been the recepient of a grant of over $1350 from the Mid-Atlantic States Arts Consortium. The Consortium is an organization of six mid-atlantic arts agencies with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. It specifies that all monies given to cultural projects be used only to procure artists, not to be used for technical equipment or 1hanagement. The consortium usually gives between one half and one third of the cost of bringing an entertainer into a specific area . According to Groh, the funds "will assist us in bringing in an enriched cultural series." The Concert and Lecture Series programs selected to receive partial funding are the "Annapolis Brass Quartet" and the McCarter Theatre Company. The Concert and Lecture Series program includes the following: Dr. Jean Kilbourne, lecture/slide show on "The Naked Truth: Advertising's Image of Women" at 8 p.m.; October 27, Tony Montanaro, Mime at 7:30 p.m.; November 1, Duo-Pianists Joseph and Anthony Paatore at 7:30 p.m.; November 12, "The Annapolis Brass Quintet"; November 15, The American Songbook with William Bolcom and Joan Morris at 7:30 p.m.; March 2, "The Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble" at 8 p .m.; March 18, "The Temple Trio" at 8 p.m. and on March 21 , "Arms and the Man" by the McCarter Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Al Groh noted that while Concert and Lecture tries to maintain a quality program, the Series itself is one of the few in or outside of the state to offer such a program at no charge to the public or student body. He cited the program of the University of Scranton which has 5 events on this year's program and which demands a $25 .00 general admission fee from the public and a $15.00 fee from students. Groh compared this to the Wilkes Concert and Lecture Series, which offers 8 events with no admission charge either for the public or students. Budgetary Allocations Delayed by John Finn Budgetary allocations for campus organizations funded by either the Student Activity fee or the Student Publications fund will be officially posted in the individual group accounts by the beginning of October, one month later than usual. The delay is attributed partly to "the peculiarity of the system" of bookkeeping used in Parrish Hall, and partly to late reports of final budget figures from the Student Government and the Student Publications Committee, according to Joseph Chisarick, Comptroller. Chisarick explained that under the system currently used in the Comptroller's office, the accounts Inside Book Return Policy p. 2 OPP p.4 IRHC President p. 6 A Modest Proposal p.8 are posted once at the beginning of each month. If a transaction occurs later in the month, it will not be posted on the account until the following month. In the case of the Student Activities fee , Student Government submitted the final budget distribution figures in early September, so the actual money will be deposited in those accounts in October. In the case of Student Publications, the Student Publications Committee is charged with the responsibility of distributing money allocated by the college to the Beacon, Amnicola, and Manuscript. This work is usually completed by the end of the preceding academic year. As of September 28, the committee had not reported the final figures to the comptrollers office. Until notification of the final budget distribution is received by the Comptroller, no accounts can be credited . Although some student organizations are running deficits for the first month of operation, Chisarick stated that "all pay requests have been honored because we know the money is there." The current bookkeepin g system, in use since 1973, is to be replaced in January. The new computer system, which has been installed but is not yet ready for operation, will allow accounts to be updated immediately following any transaction . The Concert and Lecture Series has been in existance since the early 1940's. Past Directors include . George Ralston, present Dean of Student Affairs at Wilkes. Al Groh, previous Director of the · Theatre, has been Director of the Series for the past 2-3 years. Groh noted that in addition to presenting the programs on their scheduled dates, he has received permission from the agency to work in conjunction with WVIATV to tape four programs for future viewing. The four programs are: The Annapolis Br!iSS Quintet, Bolcum and Morris, "The Temple Trio", and "The Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble." He added that Carol Teitel was currently the understudy of Elizabeth Taylor in "Little Foxes" and could not adhere to the agreed-upon schedule of the Series. The Wilkes Concert and Lecture Series is funded by Student Government, The Mid-Atlantic Arts Consortium, and the Annette Evans Fund, and, as Groh stated, tries to "present programs that will appeal to various interests and disciplines." Alfred Groh, Cultural Affairs Director IApplications For Scholarship A11ailable I by John Finn Applications are now being accepted for the Harry S. Truman Scholarship, a national program that offers up to $20,000 for undergraduate and graduate work. Applicants must presently be sophomores .with at least a 3.0 cumulative average, but there are not restrictions according to major. Because the fund is intended to promote work in public service, applicants should be able to "in some way conceive of a career in public service," according to Dr. Robert Freysinger, professor of political science and director of the scholarship program at Wilkes. The scholarship is awarded to 80 college sophomores nationwide by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. Recipients are award, ed up to $5,000 per year for two years of undergraduate and two yea rs of graduate school. The amount awarded may be less in some cases depending on the cost of tuition at individual institutions. Each school participating in the program is permitted to nominate a maximum of two students. In late October, Dr . Freysinger, Dr. Jean Driscoll, and Dean Gerald Hartdagenwill begin interviewing Wilkes applicants. Nominees are expected to submit a short essay, on future career goals and objectives, along with their transcripts and letters of recommendation to the Scholar- · ship Foundation at Princeton, New Jersey. Nominees from individual schools go on to several ·· rounds of interviews on regional and national levels, until the field is narrowed down to 80 finalists. Although this is one of the more popular national scholarship funds, only four Wilkes students applied last year, according to Freysinger.

Many students bought the books they needed for classes from the Bookstore, and then found the same books being sold by students at cheaper prices. Students who tried to return the Bookstore books were told, in many instances, that the books could not be returned, even though there were no markings in the books. Mildred Gittins, Manager of the Bookstore, explained why the book-return policy is now being enforced. "We, too, have to be protected," Ms . Gittins stated. "The book-return policy is stated clearly in the Student. Handbook, so that upperclassmen know the policy and have ample time to find used books before they buy new books." As printed in the Student Handbook, the Bookstore policy is as follows : All book sales are final. Refunds are given only: 1. if the course is cancelled; 2. if the student drops a course; 3. if a student changes sections, then books will be exchanged. Books submitted for exchange or refund must not be marked. A student must present to Bookstore personnel a current receipt and a drop slip. Refunds are permitted only during the first three weeks of each semeste.r. Ms. Gittins further explained why the return policy is so important. "When a student buys a book, that book is immediately put on a re-order list. The Bookstore is only allowed a certain percentage, 20 % , of returns by the publishing companies. When students return books to the Bookstore, and those books can't be returned to the publishing companies, the Bookstore is stuck with them." Ms. Gittins stated that in the long run, it is the student who pays for this through increased book prices. Most students, according to Gittins, adhere to the set procedures, and there are usually few problems that arise. Ms. Gittins also stated that Wilkes' procedures are comparableto,and often less stringent than, those of other local coHeges and universities, such as the University of Scranton and Marywood . "It's not that we don't want to help the students," commented Gittins. She further stated that , once an efficient policy is established, it is in the best interest of all students to follow that policy. the Writing Lab, notes that this will benefit both the students and the Lab . The Writing Lab will continue to operate as it has, but it will be able to expand its services. Dr . Heaman anticipates that the Lab, will be open more hours, and sees the possibility of acquiring new equipment. Beginning next summer, the Center will provide a summer program for people entering college. The program will be designed to help people who are underprepared or who have been away from school for several years reach a level where they will be able to take collegelevel courses. The program will deal with such areas as reading, writing, math, science, and study skills. This program, and all tutoring services offered by the Center, are provided for the students at no cost . - Debate Union Marks Mindpower Campaign 33rd Year With Trip Inuolues Colleges And To Com-p etition ~t Universities Nationwide Shippensburg State The Wilkes College Debate _Union will begin its 33rd year of competition this weekend as the members of "Kinney's Kids" travel to Shippensburg State College to participate in the annual Shippensburg Invitational Tournament.

Both Debbie Prater and Joyce Wong are the Center's professional tutors. The goals of the Center include keeping more students in school and increasing students' G.P.A.'s. Dr. Joseph Bellucci, who co-wrote the grant with Hsi-Ping Shao, Director of Grants and Research, urges students to utilize the Center. He noted that "having people who are capable of tutoring is of no value unless students use the service.'' Dr. Bellucci also encourages faculty members to refer students to the Center. It is expected that a tutor will be found for a student who requests help within 48 hours. As part of the effort to organize tutoring services, the Writing Lab has been coordinated into the Developmental Learning Center. Dr. Patricia Heaman, Director of by Donna Nitka A Developmental · Learning Center, which will provide tutoring services for all students regardless of family income, began service on October 1. The Center is being funded by a U.S . Department of Education grant, under the Strengthening Developing Institutions Program . The Center is located in Kirby Hall . The purpose of the Center is to coordinate all the tutoring services available on campus, making them more accessible to the student. The Center provides tutoring for all students in all subjects. The tutoring is on individual and group baies, and is done by both professional and student tutors. Currently, four people have been hired to work in the Center: Mary Black, Director of the Center, works in the reading and study skills area; Cheryl Cooper, who has been .- ·¼tr . .. •11 I I I : H; t · '.'

The theme of the campaign?"America's Energy is Mindpower." The "Mindpower" campaign, according to CASE, is a "grassroots effort involving all colleges and universities around the country, " in which each college and university is asked to make a statement on behalf of higher education at a time when it faces the important decade of the 1980's. The campaign seeks to remind the public of the value of higher education at a time when colleges and universities are experiencing decreased enrollments .

They plan a joint •news release' to -inform the public of all the programs each college has to offer, and to show that each college does play a significant role in society. Though the college is presently supporting the campaign only through publicity, Xenakis stated that specific "Mindpower" events are being planned for the spring. He also noted that he plans to go before Student Government either at the end of this semester or the beginning of the spring semester .

Bellucci said that the center will provide tutoring to any student on campus. The goal of the center is to accommodate a tutor for those requesting one within 48 hours. Bellucci added that the tutoring service is free and those students interested in becoming tutors are asked to apply. There are not restrictions as to blue or white card workers and minimum wage will be paid to the tutors. Another program of the Developmental Learning Center mentioned was the Institutional Research program which entails evaluating examinations given by Wilkes faculty members. The second reading for the Human Services Committee fund request was also made at the SC meeting. SC unanimously passed the motion to grant $150 to HSC to sponsor the Blood Donor Day scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6. A second reading was made by the Biological Society requesting $800 from SC to help defray the cost of attending a trip to the Asseteague and Chincateague Islands during Fall Break, Oct. 17-20. The motion was not passed because SC members felt the trip for 20 students was too expensive and would not benefit the entire college. Another reason for the failed motion was that the Biology Department offered no money in order to help fund the trip. In other business, President Ana Nunez announced the winners of the recent Replacement Elections. The newly elected members are: Class of 1981 secretary, Maureen Connolly; SC rep, Chris Lain; Class of 1982 - vice president, Chris Fellin; SC rep, Mark Radgiewicz . All candidates ran unopposed in the election. Also at the meeting, the first readings of two constitutions were made. The newly formed Martial Arts Club of Wilkes College and the Inter-Residence-Hall Council both submitted constitutions to be adopted -by Student Government. At next week's meeting, the constitutions will again be read and voted upon . Finally, the SC Publicity Committee Chairperson, Melissa Monahan, read the proposed Publicity Policy. The SC body then accepted the policy which allows publicity to be produced and · distributed concerning major events and meetings on campus. ..... Car-Pool Ref err al Service Ready To Begin Operation students according to proximity of their hometowns for the purpose of forming car-pools. Joe Knox, President of the CC, said, "Now we must let ·people know we have this service to offer." Gene · Chikowski, co-chairman of the 50th Anniversary Committee of SC, told Council members that plans are now being made for next year's observation of the college's birth. Chikowski reported that an organizational meeting will be held in mid-October, but now he is "looking for people to help out." Phil Goedeche is also cochairman of that committee. The council passed a fund request of $483.75 for the purchase of 43 tickets to the Eagles vs. Giants game on November 22 . The vote was by acclamation with one dissenting vote. The total cost of the planned trip will be $23.00 for a Martz bus and game ticket . The Council plans to break even on the event. Some members voiced concern that the seats will be in au 'obstructed view' section of the stadium and that few students may be able to afford the cost of the single event at that time of year. by John Finn The car-pool referral service has been set up and is now prepared for operation, according to Maurita Gries, Chairman of Commuter Council's Parking Committee. This new service is .designed to match commuter Council Members Vote To Adopt New Ammendment by Donna Nitka Inter-Residence- Hall Council members voted Sunday night to adopt an amendment to their constitution concerning representative power during emergencies. According to the amendment, if an IRHC quorum cannot gather within 24 hours, Student Government would have the power to decide IRHC matters. The amendment passed with one objection. Bart Bellairs, Director of the Intram urals Program, attended the meeting to encourage student par- ticipation in intramurais. He noted that most events are scheduled for Sundays so they will not interfere with students' studies. Planned intramural events include both men and women's flag football, chess, ping pong, volleyball, basketball, and pillow fighting. Bellair's goal is to have a dorm vs. dorm vs. co~mµter vs. faculty intramural tournament. He stated that anyone interested in intramurals should contact him. Hazing was the final topic discussed under new business. Most of the reps indicated that hazing should not be banned, but that it should be controlled and participation in it should be optional. IRHC president Bill Lourie stated that he will recommend the Freshman Follies to next year's council as an alternate to hazing . He noted that he plans to make revisions in the Follies to facilitate more commuter involvement. Further discussion on the topic of hazing was tabled until the next meeting. Knox pointed out, however, that "this is the only game still available this year; otherwise, there is only next year." Bill Lourie, IRHC President, announced that his council will open a new office on the second floor of the Student Center. The office will be located in the Pool room, but the Pool room will be located in the Cavern (basement of the Student Center). Tuclcer List• Neu, Student Center Hours Recently, Jay Tucker, assistant . director of Housing and Student Center coordinator, announced a change in the hours during which the Student Center will be open . The change has to do with extending the hours on weekends. The new hours are: Monday through Friday 9 a .m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 12 noon to llp.m. Tucker explained that he added the extra weekend hours because he felt that the students "should have a place to go at that time, r than their dorm rooms." ■----------1 Soft Contact Lenses I $129.00 I.

There is a disease, which last year reached epidemic proportions, and which is beginning to spread this year. This disease has no set period of incubation, no sex preferences, no noticeable symptoms, and the side effects are very unusual.The people who are afflicted are unharmed, and some may actually benefit, but the people who live with the infected individuals often suffer detrimental effects. What is thJ.s strange disease? It is called disrespect for personal property, or DPP for short. This is a malady of the mind, a psychological disease, which is unfortunately not covered in Psychology 101-102. The fundamental symptom is that the afflicted persons, after a period of time, believe that life in a residence hall is a form of ~-~ ■■■ ~■" communal living in which all property belongs to the community, i.e., the residence hall. Due to a lack of personal experience, I am not familiar with the prevalence of DPP in the men's residence halls; however, I know from firsthand experience that it can become rampant in the women's residence halls. Despite this lack of knowledge, my intuition tells me that many men will be able to relate to this problem. DPP can be classified with VD as a social disease, for it only affects those who come in contact with the carriers of the disease. In the early stages the disease is mild and can be easily cured, but in the later advanced stages the disease becomes almost uncontrollable and often, in some cases, incurable. The first sign of the disease is the use of a simple phrase, such as, "Can I borrow your typewriter?" by the possible carrier. This is not a sure sign, but it should put the owner on his or her guard. By consenting, the owner may be doing no wrong, but if one answers, "Sure, anytime," or a similar phrase, look out. If the borrower truly has the disease, he or she will begin to take advantage of the generous owner. The diseased person will eventually "borrow" the desired item whenever he or she pleases with or without the permission of the owner. · It eventually reaches the point where the owner has to turn the residence hall upside down to find his or her property. My personal property which was taken advantage of last year included the aforementioned typewriter, records, tapes, and my calculator.

All Wilkes students may receive two free tickets with their college identification. According to Jay Siegfried, Director of Theatre at Wilkes, the play has the delicate twilight atmosphere of time remembered, "truth in the pleasant guise of illusion . " The play blends psychological realism and lingering pathos in order to produce the irridescent mood of reminiscence. This particular production is unique in · that the script used is an original compilation of three different versions of the play. In addition, th e scene design is remarkable, if not shocking; in its evocation of "memory. " The cast consists of four actors and actresses . Veterans Chris Lonstrup and Diane Hartdagen will return to the stage this year as will newcomers, Freshman Theresa Fink and transfer student Roy Clark. Hartdagen commented that the production is "worthwhile .for everyone to see." She added that the play, as a serious drama, demands much from the actors . " It is a personal triumph because of its complexity, " Hartdagen stated . All Wilkes students, administration, and faculty are invited to attend "The Glass Menagerie." A special production for all area high school students will be . held on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 p .m. Admission for this production only will be $1.

Concert & Lecture Series Lourie Assumes Leadership Role Provides Quality Shows computer science. "My job now, as IRHC president, is a learning experience," said Lourie, and added that this position will "help to further leadership qualities for me." After graduation, Lourie can begin to put these qualities into practice as he tries to attain position concerned with computer applications in business. For the present, however, Bill Lourie is concerned with the task at hand, and that is to insure a productive year for this year's by Amy Elias Bill Lourie is a busy man these days. The Junior from Mount Holly, New Jersey, not only fills his time with studies in his computerscience major, but has chosen to hold one of the most timeconsuming positions for students on the Wilkes campus - that of IRHC President. Before running for the presidency, Bill entertained no extravagant notions about the job or his possible contributions to IRHC· he within the Council is one area in which Lourie will probably have no difficulty. "This year's Council, ihrough improved communicatiqn, is more enthusiastic than Councils of past years, " Lourie observed. Specific projects are already underway. One of these, the Vandalism Committee, is one in which Lourie takes a particular interest. The Vandalism Committee is, as Lourie puts it, "an awareness committee" which will be used to gain information about specific acts of vandalism and, using this information, to try to illustrate to the students that, as Lourie stated, "it's vandalism that largely contributes to the increases in their college costs." Another project underway is the formation of a Hall Presidents' Council. The plans for this Council are still tentative; however, Lourie stated that if the hall presidents would like to establish this Council, the Council would act as an advisory board to IRHC. The Council purpose would be to establish formal guidelines for hall elections and the functions of hall officers. Lourie feels that the potential on campus for student activities is high, and that many students could contribute greatly if they would only choose to do so. "There's enough out there to tap, " said Lourie, "but it has to be drawn out." Perhaps this year, IRHC and the other student government organizations can tap this student power source and revitalize the activities on campus with fresh ideas and outlooks. But for all this, Lourie is cautious. What advice would he offer to those who contemplate running for an office like IRHC? "Take things easy. Don't try to change everything overnight. A lot can be done, but things must be taken slowly." Wise words indeed; Lourie can, with such insight, look towards a year that will prove to be not only productive, but enjoyable as well .

A committee of faculty members chaired by Mr. Al Groh select the performances based on recommendations made by a committee composed "of students. "Anyone can join this committee," Student Chairman Stephen Badman, a junior English Literature major from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, commented. "It's to the student's own benefit because he will have a say in what concerts and lectures are brought in. " The next performance of the Series will be presented on October 27 at 8 p .m . with the return engagement of world reknown mime Tony Montanaro . Montanaro, with the aid of his two assistants, imitates such things as animals and sports activities. He is currently appearing in Sweden. On November 1, at 7:30 p .m ., the series will present dual pianists Anthony and Joseph Paratore. Badman said that although he has never heard the pianists, he believes it will be an excellent performance because Mr. Chapline of the Wilkes Music, Department has said that the musicians are "Two of the finest pianists today." "The Annapolis Brass Quintet will perform at 8 p .m . on November 12. The quintet will be making its first appearance here at Wilkes . On November 15 at 7:30 .m. Bolcum and Morris will perform a repertoire of popular songs. They are a pianist and singer respectively. The Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble will perform on March 2 at 8 p.m. Badman commented that these are "extremely talented mus1c1ans who tour the country, annually changing their form of music. On March 18, the series will present the Temple Trio at 8 p.m. This group will sing a selection of popular songs. The McCarter Theater will perform George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man" on March 21. "This promises to be a great evening of theater," Badman said. Also in March , the performance postponed in September will be presented . This will be a performance of "The Faces of Love" by actress Carol Teitel. Her earlier performance had to be postponed because Teitel is the understudy for Elizabeth Taylor in "Little Foxes" and had to travel with the company to San Francisco. All performances of the Concert and Lecture Series will be in the Center for the Performing Arts. Badman commented, "Our Concert and Lecture Series at this college is one of the few in the nation that provides high quality performances free of charge. These performances are identical to the ones seen on Broadway or at Carnegie Hali; the guests are famous actors and musicians and here you can see them for free."

Four years ago, Dave Levandouski enjoyed baseball and other sports, but his older brother was a runner. With a little taunting (maybe) and some good persuasior¼,(of course), his brother convinced him to "take my first steps out the door. " Dave has been running ever since, and he's good! A freshman engineering major from Danville, Pa ., Dave Levandouski has already been keeping pace with running great Ken Pascoe, also of Wilkes. Last week the two tied fo r first place on the tough course at Fairmont Park against Philadelphia Pharmacy Textile with the winning time of 28 :22 . Earlier this season, Dave took third -place against running stars Parsons of Delaware Valley and Awaya of Kings. In this race he went the five miles in 26 minutes and 52 seconds . Not bad for a freshman. Dave remembers the first time he started running. "It was horrible. I had no talent whatsoever. I hav~ to work for everything I get," he explained . Each week Dave runs for about sixty miles to keep up his distance base which improves both speed and endurance: "The sport takes up a Jot of my time . It's hard with my studies," he said . "I guess you've got to be disciplined. " He began to take running seriously when in high school. After a few road races, then a spot on the varsity team, Dave began to develop his ability under the direction of world-class runner Jeff Brandt, his school coach. "He taught me everything I know," Dave.explained . In high school, Dave lettered in both track and cross country for three years, and in his last two years at Danville High the cross country team won districts and went on to the state competition. ·1n his senior year he came out in 39th place in the state out of 250 entries. He has done exceptionally well • in the two marathons he has run . As a junior, he finished 20th out of 200 at the Penn State Marathon. The following year he finished 61st out of 3,500 finishers in the Maryland race . Dave is beginning his colleg~ career here at Wilkes under the direction of Bart Bellairs. Now Dave will have an opportunity to adjust to 't he tougher college competition . He explained, "He (Bellairs) is really enthusiastic about the sport. What does the future hold for Dave Levandouski? "I have to develop a little more," he explained . "I have to mature a little more Things improve with time, I hope." Dave is a young and talented runner who is a very welcome addition to Wilkes . He considers "chewing ice" his worst habit, and doesn't drink or smoke, but gets high on running. "I usually get it when I'm out in the wilderness . You're just experiencing all the things around you . . . it's like euphoria," he said. " It seems you can experience thin s much better." by Ellen Van Riper The field hockey team has had a tough time of it so far this season, as they have failed to come up with a victory in three games. On Sept. 17 the ladies opened the 1981 season with a home game against Elizabethtown College. The final score was 3-0, but the team played much better than the score indicated. Elizabethtown had 16 shots on goal and the Wilkes' ladies had 9, but the difference was that the Blue Jays were able to capitalize on their opportunities. The team next faced East Stroudsburg State College in a game played at East Stroudsburg on Sept. 24 . This game was more of a defensive struggl~, for the final score was 1-0 in favor of Largest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the Valley. by Chris DaRe On Saturday, Sept. 26, the Wilkes soccer team was defeated by FDU Madison 5-0. The defeat dropped the Colonels record to 0-3 for the '81 season . Coach Ernesto Lopez has to be disappointed with the record, but he must be puzzled with the futility of his team's offense to date. In the Colonels' first three games, they have yet to score a goal; they have been shut out by Scranton, Upsala, and now FDU, by a combined score of 18-0 . The three losses have been to very good teams, but the fact is the Colonels are having trouble mustering shots on goal, much Jess scoring goals . On the other side of the coin, the defense has been respectable. After surrendering ten goals in the opener against Scranton, the defense has only allowed eight goals in the last two encounters . Leading the defense is senior cocaptain Mike Brautigan. Mike leads the field with his steady play and all-out enthusiasm. Also playing well is goalie Mark Barsom.

Upsala walked into the gym like cattle strolling into a slaughterhouse. If Upsala knew what they were in for they probably would have forfeited. Wilkes met them with fury in their eyes;· victory was their ctt!stination. The first game was a no contest match from the start. The next two games would follow the same pattern . Upsala didn't know what hit them; their heads were still spinning when they boarded their bus home. Wilkes' spiking and serving machines kept cranking out point after point. Cathy Dudick had fourteen service aces and Jennifer Golding had 12. High scorers · for the match were Ellen Van Riper and Debbie Kramer with four kills apiece. Wilkes had no trouble winning the match. Upsala succumbed 15-1 ; 15-0; 15-1. On the following day Wilkes would meet the Lady Royals of the University of Scranton. Wilkes was really psyched and up for this game, and wanted to smear Scranton all over the court. In the first game it was a non-stop battle of the spikers. Tremendous hitting and blocking was what prevented Scranton from winning, and Wilkes beat them 15-13. The second game was an absolute field day for players Sally Fisher, Jennifer Golding, and Cathy Dudick . Sally had five kills, two service aces and four defensive saves, Jennifer had four kills and three service aces, and Cathy finished out the score card with three kills and seven aces at the serving line . Wilkes killed Scranton 15-6. The last three games were a fight to the finish . Wilkes lost its momentum and its coordination. Things really started looking bad for Wilkes; unfortunately Scranton walked all over them 15-9; 15-8 and 15-7. The match with King's can be · compared to a Blues Brothers movie or a comedy of errors. The whole match was an absolute joke. Wilkes massacred King's 15-1; 15-2 and 15-3. Upcoming games and tournaments for the Colonelettes are Juniata on October 3 & 4. On October 4 they face the women of FDU Madison, and on October 6 they go up against Delaware Valley. Jennifer Golding of Wilkes attempts a <link against King's. Colonels Massacred By .W arriors by Mark James The Colonels were massacer,d again on the gridiron last week after Wilkes traveled to Lycoming en route to a 35-0 embarrassment, their second loss in two games. Both teams went score-less for most of the first half, but Lycoming drew first blood through a 24 ya rd touchdown strike from Warrior quarterback Pete Waldron to receiver Mike Santoleri. Wilkes began to retaliate by mounting their first significant offensive threat of the game, but the Warrior defense circled quarterback Jerry Goss with enough pressure to force an interception. Lycoming's Mickey Pease jaunted 58 ya rds with the captured pass for the Warriors' second touchdown. The two-point conversion attempt failed, and the first half ended with Lyco on top, 13-0 . Once again the Colonels were stifled by a quick, and costly, bad break. In the opener against Upsala, a punt was blocked and recovered in the Wilkes endzone on the very first Colonel drive. Wilkes never took the lead. Last week, it was the interception that turned the flow against Wilkes. In the second half, Lycoming continued to put the game out of reach. The Warriors scored seven more points on a beautifuly executed 84-yard march in the third quarter, and in the fourth, Lycoming crossed the goal line two more times, winning the battle soundly. So far this season, Wilkes has given up 32 points in the final quarter while scoring only 6. The Colonel offense has yet to score a point in the first half, so by the time the game is over, the defense is worn out. "As long as we don't quit, I can't knock anybody; and that's the bottom line oil it," defensive coordinator Ed Lukas explained, adding that "we come back every Saturday." In two games, the Colonels have given up a total of 734 yards while gaining 226 yards, little of which was on the ground. Against Lycoming, the Colonels gained only 95 total yards; a meager 11 yards came through rushing gains. Coach Schmidt must pull his forces together within the next few games, or he may face his worst start in twenty seasons of coaching here. FIELD GOALS: Tony Popple had a 37.4 punting average in an amazing 11 punts. Two more punts and Wilkes would have tied the punts-per-game record. Mike Gould, Pat Walsh, and Don Sparks each intercepted passes, and on the receiving end, Ton y Madden hauled in two passes for a total of 65 yards. Jerry Goss started the game as quarterback, finishing with 3 completions out of 11 attempts for a total of 84 yards. Bill Rodgers came in at quarterback late in the game. In the Upsala contest, senior defensive tackle Dave Hadley suffered a fractured hand. Although the defense has a lot of depth, the Colonels are sure to miss the spirited play of number 75 . Last week's pick was on the money - Lycoming by a landslide, but this week, the Colonels may be able to show their stuff: Susquehanna 28 - Wilkes 20. bench by Ellen Van Riper . 'A Modest Proposal' WANTED - Men and women who are rowdy, a little crazy, who love to make lots of noise, who enjoy watching sporting events, and who are infected by Colonel fever to organize a fan support group which will attend all Wilkes College home athletic events and a few on the road (i.e., King's and Scranton). An organization of this nature should be nothing new to veteran Wilkes College sports fans, for last year a number of gentlemen from Gore Hall formed a group which attended all home men's basketball and wrestling matches and also those road games mentioned above. This is a move in the right direction, but it is not enough. What Wilkes needs is this kind of fan support consistently during all seasons and for both men's and women's sports. Obviously this is a lot to ask, but it can be done. The key is organization-and planning. If enough members join, a schedule can be set up to alternate the attendance responsibility for each person. For instance, if there are four home games during the week, one group of ten different people can attend each one. The way to decide who will go to each game can be based upon sport preference, class schedule, committments to other activities, and the amount of free time ·e ach individual has available. Surely nobody will have the same time schedule, so there should be ample attendance at each home event. Of course, some sports are not as popular as others, but the participants still need fan support, so perhaps the leader of the group could distribute the attendance on an equal basis to each member. In addition, some teams are not as successful as others, but remember that the athletes are still out there giving it their all, so these teams deserve support also . Sufficient fan support can perhaps help a team win a game which under different circumstances it would have lost . Sometimes cheering fans are the magic which pull victory from the jaws of defeat. Fan support gets the adrenalin pumping in each athlete, and they can not help but perform better. Without cheering fans there would not be any miracle baskets, touchdowns, or homeruns. In other words, team,; would not be as successful without fans cheering wildly for them . Once the group is organized it has to have a name. This is very important, for the group must be identifiable and recognized. Also, having a name ":'ill make the organization more permanent, and perhaps, with time, a fixture at Wilkes. In the beginning the group can carry a sign with the name on it, but as time p~sses and recognition is established the group can have T-shirts or sweatshirts made up with the name on them. This project can be funded by a money-raising project or by the students themselves. Now a note on the games themselves . Here is where th e required qualities such as rowdiness and craziness loom large. The group must sit together in the stands; this way they can not help but be noticed . In order to further distinguish the group, there must be signs, special and unique cheers, and lots and lots of noise. Wheiiever a Wilkes team scores or does something special everybody should know about it. Also, whenever possible'the group should make an effort to get the other spectators to join in the cheers. This will get everybody involved and will definitely increase the noise level. The games are the most important part of this plan , and the imaginations and ingenuity of the members will develop other cheering activities. This is fine and is greatly encouraged, but it must be stressed that all activities remain in the areas of good sportsmanship and good conduct. Since this will be an organized group, high standards of quality must be established and adhered to. The impact of such a group upon the college can be tremendous . By attending the games and showing such enthusiasm for the blue and gold, this group could significantly increase attendance . The spirit and enthusiasm of the group could eventually infect the entire student body. Maybe someday the gymnasium and Ralston Field will have capacity crowds for each and every athletic contest. This proposed plan is perhaps little more than a pipe dream , but with dedication and effort it can become a reality. Such a group called "The Nest" already exists at King's College. However, I think that Wilkes could develop a group whic_h is even better and more supportive. At ·1e~st, wouldn't it be fun to try? r . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Wilkes Co1lege Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Non-profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 Vol. XXXIV No. 6 October 9, 1981 IRHC Will Moue Pickering r - - - - - - - S G - - - - , - - - - ~ First Party In Student Center's Office To Student Center by Donna Nitka President Bill Lourie announced at Sunday's IRHC meeting that IRHC will soon be opening a new office. The new office will be located on the second floor of the Student Center, in the Pool room. IRHC will continue to use its office in Pickering lobby until the new office is made ready. Chris Lain, Co-chairperson of the Human Services Committee, reported that the first Blood Donor Day of the semester is scheduled for Friday, November 6. She stressed the need for student support of this event. Lain noted that the committee will again award $25 to the residence hall with the highest percentage of donors. Other topics discussed under new business included community commitment and fund-raising for the NACURH conference. Lourie stated that, as a major college organization, IRHC has a commitment to support the Wilkes-Barre • community. He noted that IRHC would be working jointly with CC in developing ways in which the Councils could show their support of the community. As part of its fund-raising effort to attend the upcoming NACURH regional conference, IRHC sponsored a pizza sale Sunday night. The Council also plans to hold a caramel apple sale in the near future. Proceeds from both sales will be used to send representatives to the NACURH conference which will be held on November 6, 7, and 8 at Wittenburg University in Dayton, Ohio. In his closing comments, Lourie again stressed the importance of representative's attendance at the weekly meetings. He also reminded the reps to support IRHC in their respective halls . NOTE: It has brought to the attention of the Beacon that two of the statements in last week's IRHC article were incorrect . It was reported that, according to the new IRHC ammendment, if an IRHC quorum could not be gathered within 24 hours, Student Government would have the power to decide IRHC matters. It was also reported that Bill Lourie stated that he would recommend the Freshman Follies to next year's Council as an alternative to hazing. ·The following is the corrected information: The Council decided that the Executive Council, not Student Government, _would have the power to decide IRHC matters, and Lourie would recommend the Follies as an alternative to hazing only if hazing was banned by the college.

'Cavern' Scheduled For Tonight by Doug Fahringer At Monday's Student Government meeting, Jay Tucker, Director and Advisor of the Student Center Board, welcomed the future moves of the SC and IRHC offices into the Student Center. He also announced the SCB Party which will be held tonight from 9 p.m. -1 a.m. in the "The Cavern" which is the lower level of the Student Center. "The Cavern" is now the central location of the games in the Student Center. Tucker also mentioned the upcoming Video Game Tournament scheduled for Thursday, Oct . 15 from 4-10 p.m .

In other business, the Biological Society returned, requesting $200 from SC to help accommodate 1~ students planning to attend the Chincoteague and Assoteague Islands on Oct . 17-20 . The new request will be voted on at next week's SC meeting. The Abeline and Old Friends concert was deemed successful; SC Recording Secretary Elaine Kerchusky noted the good turn out in the gym and said that $522 was made from the concert. The Social Committee then announced plans for a Country and Western Party scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23 in the Student Center. Constitutions submitted by the Martial Arts Club of Wilkes College and by IRHC were l;_>oth read and passed by the SC body. Also at the meeting, an AntiNuclear W~r.

The symposium is a joint effort sponsored by the Environmental and Earth Science Club and the Political Science Club. SC Representative Janine Tucker raised another topic at the meeting concerning the poor lighting on campus. She felt that this was a matter that needed to be brought to Dr. Shaw's attention. Tucker said that "security at night is d epe ndent upon proper lighting." The area Tucker cited is the walkway between the Annette Evans Alumni House and the 'Student Center. Apartment Committee €hairman Outlines Future Plans With CC by John Finn The new Chairman of the Apartment Committee was introduced to Commuter Council Monday night. Rudy Fischl, himself an apartment student, briefly addressed the council and outlined his ideas for operating the committee. He stated he would like to establish a system of communication and reference for apartment students or prospective apartment students. Fischl also suggested the possibility of a workshop for people seeking an apartment. The workshop would · deal with matters such as how to examine leases and contract obligations and other legal and technical aspects of finding an apartment . . Other committee reports consistently pointed out poor attendance at individual weekly committee meetings, a situation that has not improved since the beginning of the year. Joe Knox, President, has offered suggestions in the past to remedy the problem, such as urging each Council member to recruit at least one non-CC student for committee membership . Dave Kalinowski, C. C. Homecoming Committee Chairman, stated he "will not report what's going on" with his committee because "I don't want it to get out yet." One fellow Council member stated, ''I've been to all the meetings and I still don't know what we're doing." Kalinowski was also Mr. Enthusiasm Monday night. This is a new feature of the Council sessions. For a few moments, Mr. En- · thusiasm stood and gave a rousing oration designed to instill enthusiasm in other Council members; he also faceitiously threatened bodily. harm to any member who did not comply. Thor Foss, Chairman of the United Way Drive, announced plans for a Walk-athon. No definite date has been set, but Foss said it may be around October 23. He also stated that although he has participated in a Walk-athon, he has never directed one before and said he would appreciate any organizational help . The date of this year's Blood Donor Drive has been changed from October 29 to November 6. CC is considering conducting contests to increase commuter involvement in the drive. Most contest plans call for prizes to be awarded to clubs and organizations which contribute the largest amount of blood from its collective members. Some members objected to proposals for a C.C. contest that would give prizes to individuals Two ROTc·officers Promoted · by Andrea Hincken Two members of the Wilkes College RO_TC detachment, Master Sergeant Robert E . Herman and Technical Sergeant. Dennis Evangelista, were recently promoted to their new ranks and duties . Herman and Evangelista are responsible for introducing and assisting cadets in the important initial steps in their Air Force careers. Herman takes care of military and financial records of the cadets. He prepares forms and •checks signatures until the time that the cadets are commissioned. Herman's family is also living in this area, so he is glad to be here. When asked how he felt about his promotion, he said, "It is nice to be assigned in my hometown ." Correspondence files, payroll and business forms are done by Evangelista. Unfortunately, Evangelista will be leaving in March of 1982 for Turkey for his new assignment. He commented, "It has been enjoyable showing the kids the Air Force life". Both men agreed that their jobs are interrelated, as the work they do leads to the commissioning of the cadets. Both men obtained their promotions by passing the W APS test (Weighed Air Max Promotion System). This system also involves personal evaluation of past work and merits received while on duty. ◄ �Page I, T1le Beacon, October 9, 1981 More Parking Spaces Created Yet The Situation Remains Unchanged by Mary Kay Pogar The parking situation for students at Wilkes remains virtually unchanged this year, although several more spaces have been created in the Bedford and Old Denison parking lots. Parking is by permit only, and commuting and · residence hall students apply for parking stickers through their respective councils. Residence Hall student parking lots include those behind Gore, Pickering, Sterling, Dana and Doane Halls, the Old Slocum lot on South Franklin Street and the Old Denison lot on Ross St. Commuter student parking lots are those next to Bedford and Parrish Halls, and th\l Temple Israel lot. Eugene Manganello7 Personnel Director, stresses that these are the only lots in which students may park on campus. All other campus lots are reserved for faculty and · administration. The personnel director noted Career Placement llegistry Introduced Tfais Semester that all illegally parked cars will be ticketed and may possibly be towed . This policy of ticketing and towing will be strictly enforced. A school security guard patrols all lots on campus to deal with parking violations. This year the personnel office has tried to improve communication with the guard. The guard now carries a two-way radio on his patrol, for when he finds an illegally parked car, the guard can now immediately contact the personnel office to determine the owner of the car The personnel office can notify the patrol guard of any complaints they have received of violations. Students who have complaints about the parking situation on campus should speak with the representatives of IRHC and CC. The councils may then solve the problem themselves, or may refer it to the personnel office. that the spaces in the parking lots are not guaranteed . Even if a student has a sticker which indicates he may park in a campus lot, he may not park in the lot if it is full and he will block the exit of any car, even if another-car is parked illegally in that lot . However, if the one lot is filled, the student may park in another student lot. It is important to note that only residence hall students may park in lots for residence hall students, while only commuters may park in lots reserved for commuting students. Mr. Mangenello cites some of the recurrent parking violations. "The space behind the CPA is a place where many parking• violations occur." Often, people park in front of the entrance for the handicapped. Students without licenses indicating they are handicapped also park in those spaces reserved for those who are handicapped. Mangenello emphasizes Concerned about finding a job after graduation? Now there's a new campus service that can put your resume in the hands of over 10,000 employers both here and abroad. Career Placement Registry is the new service's name and it is being introduced this semester on over 1,200 college and university campuses across the country. Career Placement Registry gives students the opportunity to record their personal and academic credentials in an international direct-access database. Potential employers are able to search the on-line system for any or all of the following prospective employee criteria: college, degree, major /minor, grades, occupational and- geographical preference, citizenship status, relevant experience, language proficiency, and special skills. The data students enter into the CPR system is searchable via the Dialog Information Service. Over 10,000 companies in 44 countries currently use Dialog for information retrieval. CPR enables these employers to match the best qualified candidate to any job opening. Liberal Arts graduates, for example, may easily be screened by personnel directors for trainee programs through the use ofthesystem. For a fee of $8.00, students may enter the CPR data base for a period of six months. All data entered into the computer will be 1982 Research Associateship Awards Program Announced The National Research Council announces its 1982 Research Associateship Awards Programs for research in the sciences and engineering to be conducted in 18 federal research institutions, whose laboratories are located th roughout the United States.

Myers stressed the importance of student participation in the next few weeks. He said, "In order for this to work we have to have 100 % co-operation from the student body . Otherwise, Washington will continue to cut until many of the programs disappear.

"Yeah, let's drop them in three quick ones," and that is just what they did. In their second confrontation with King's College, Wilkes again proved to King's who was the boss . A spike from King's can be compared to a queen swatting at flies . Needless to say Wilkes trampled all over King's in three fast and painful (for them) games, 15-3; 15-9 and 15-5. Then on Friday and Saturday (October 2 & 3) Wilkes participated in the Juniata College Women's Volleyball ~lassie . Although Wilkes did not win they did gain tremendous experience. A few of the teams Wilkes faced were West Chester College, Washington , College, and, of course, Juniata . On Sunday, October 4, Wilkes would take on FDU Madison. This was no ordinary game. Pride, selfrespect and more importantly, a spot on the MAC Championship scorecard were riding on this game . The power, skill, determination, and perseverence these women showed was by far the strongest anyone had seen all season. Wilkes really wanted this game badly and there was no way they were going to bow to FDU. Ellen Van Riper, affectionately known as "The Ripper," broke a team record for total points scored in a match by an individual. Ellen scored twenty-one kills out of fourty-four attempts in four games. Her hitting in those games was like that of a piledriver pounding steel beams. She also had seven service aces, g1vmg her a total of twenty eight points scored. Sally "The Deflector Shield" Fisher did a great job blocking. She had five kills and six serving aces . Sally is the one who prevented FDU from doing serious damage. Jennifer "The Flame Thrower" · Golding kept the hits coming when Wilkes really needed them. She finished with 11 kills and six service aces. The women of Wilkes really proved their championship talent by blowing away FDU 15-9; 15-10 and 15-11. That was enough to assure them a place at the MAC Championship at Dickenson College on November 6 & 7. Coach Saracino commented on . their success. "The girl have worked extremely hard and I am very proud of them. They are well disciplined and proved that they don't choke under pressure." Cross Country Team Runs 1981 Season Record To 7-5 by Ellen Van Riper The cross country team upped its season record to 7-5 with a fourvictory week. The squad downed Philadelphia - Pharmacy 24-31, Baptist Bible 25-31, Cabrini 15-49, and Allentown College 17-39 . The team ran a tough five-mile course in 44 degree weather. Senior captain Ken Pascoe and freshman standout Dave Levandoski tied for first with a time of 28:43 . The win was Pascoe's third of the season and was Levandoski's second . Rounding out the top five for the Colonels were Bill Wolfe at 29:17, Tom McGuireat29:22, and Joe Dill at 31 :22.

Susquehanna University blocked punts, kicked field goals, ran touchdowns, passed for a touchdown , returned a punt for a touchdown; intercepted passes, recovered fumbles,forced a safety, but they did not return any kickoffs . Wilkes orily kick-off once. "If anything could go wrong, it probably did," Coach Schmidt said. The only right thing the Colonels did was to show up for the game, and even that can be debated .

It looked like the Colonels would make it five straight games without a goal as they trailed Lycoming 2-0 after the tirst half of last Saturday's game. Then it happened. The Colonels first goal went to senior co-captain Mike Karnes with Tim Williams assisting on the play. The goal cut Lyco's lead to 2-1 , but the Warriors went on to win 5-1. · "We make the same mistakes game after game, " Coach Lopez said. During this week in practice, the Colonels have been trying to correct a few team weaknesses. Assistant Coach Kelly Noseworthy explained the problems, saying, "A couple of our players are playing really good; some of the others are hurting in the fundamentals. Trapping is poor, passing is poor." The Colonels have moved to a 3-3-4 setup, moving four men to the front line to bolster the attack . Their next test will be Saturday at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa . at 2:00 p.m. Wilkes next home game is Thursday, Oct . 15, against Elizabethtown. Game time is 3:30 at Ralston Field. Tennis After a well-played 9-1 victory over Baptist Bible, the w omen's tennis team upped its record to 2-3 . The team had previously lost to King's and Scranton, then picked up a forfeit from Upsala. Before the Baptist Bible match, the Lady Colonels hosted Bloomsburg at Ralston Field and lost every singles and doubles match. Wilkes did much better against the Baptist Bible team than against some of the tougher competition. Lisa DelGaudio, Cathy Price, Terry Monseur, Trish Palys and Charlotte Fees all won singles matches. In the doubles competition the teams of DelGaudio/ Monseur, Palys/ Price, and Fees/Reilly all came up victorious.

This kind of consistent progress is very significant, for if they keep it up, they will peak by November 7 and the MAC championships. Another man to watch is fifth runner Joe Dill. Since each team is only as good as its fifth man, it is important that he continually cut his time. Coach Bellairs stressed that the fifth runner has to be extra dedicated, for the team's chances at the MAC's will depend upon his progress . Right now Dill is the man, but there is a group of runners hot on his heels. Rob Davis is a first-year runner, and he cut his time by two minutes at the last meet. Jim Bell is a senior who _recently joined the team, and Bellairs believes that he will push for the fifth spot once he gets in condition . Andy Grant is recovering from a knee injury, and he should be rounding into top form very soon. Bill Lynch has shown steady improvement all season long, and Chuck Harris has improved his time by a minute per week. All of these runners are pushing for that fifth spot, and it should be quite a race down to the wire and the MAC's .

Leading scorer Michele (Mitch) Weiss slapped in three goals with the help of Jean Dougherty, Debbie Cometa, and Diane Hall. Hall went on to score two more for Wilkes with assists from Diane McGovern and Sandy McCar.rol. On Saturday, the Lady Colonels trayeled to Bloomsburg for a douhie header against the University of Pittsburgh and Bloom. Wilkes battled to a 1-1 tie against Division II Pitt . before losing to Bloomsburg 1-0. "We need the good competition if we're going to get any better," Coach Meyers said, but the competition made winning too difficult for Wilkes. Against Pittsburgh, Cometa, a freshman, scored the lone Wilkes goal with the help of Weiss, the team's leading scorer with 4 goals and one assist so far this season. Pitt. outshot the Lady Colonels 17 to 14, but goalie Valerie Frey saved ten. Against Bloomsburg, Frey blocked 9 more shots, but Wilkes could not come up with a score and was outshot by their hosts, 15 to 5. " It was an intense game," Meyers said. "The competition was super." OFF THE STICK : "The attacking combinationisbeginningtofallinto place, " Coach Meyers was happy to note. Before the Misery game, Meyers instituted a new formation into the Wilkes offense. Instead of using "links" that basically play in the midfield range, the Lady Colonels returned to the traditional 5-3-2 lineup . - � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The program, which was initially · a six year program, allows the student to earn both the bac~alaureate degree and the Doctor of Medicine degree jointly, seven years after entering Wilkes College as a freshman . The 1981-82 freshman class is the last class that will be admitted into the Family Medicine Program; the program · is being phasedout. · · Dr. Ralph Rozelle, Dean of Health Sciences, stated that the "Family Medicine Program has served its purpose." He noted that when the present freshman class enters Hahnemann Medical College it will bring the total number of students who have been admitted to Hahnemann under the program to approximately 200 . Rozelle also noted the success of the program. He feels that it has upgraded the health care offered in the area. He further added that the Fa111ily Practice Residency in Kingston grew out of the same concept as the Wilkes-Hanemann Family Medicine Program. Dr. Rozelle stressed the fact NOTICE The Beacon will not be published on October 23, 1981, due to Fall Break. We will resume our normal publication schedule on Friday, October 30. Anyone interested in submitting material for publication in the October 30 issue is reminded to have ' the material at the Beacon office on October 25, no later than 3 p.m .. Relax and enjoy the break! · · NOTICE When it becomes neceMary to cancel cl~ because of inclement weather, students are advised to listen to WCLH or other local radio stations · for particulars. The Public Relations Office will notify the stations of the cancellation by 7:30 A.M. The Security Desk at Stark Learning Center will also be notified by 7 :30 A.M. that, although . the F amily Medicine Program is being phased out, Wilkes will continue its relationship with Hahnemann. A task force has been appointed by the presidents of both Wilkes and Hahnemann to determine the type of program that will replace the . Family Medicine Program. The task force includes Dr. DiPalma, Vice-president of academic affairs and Dean of the Hahnemann Medical School, Dr. Bondi, Dean of the Graduate School, and Dr. Ladman, Dean of the College of Allied Health Sciences, all from' Hahnemann. Wilkes' task force members include Gerald Hart- dagen, Dean of Academic Affairs, John Whitby, Dean of Special Programs, and Dr. Rozelle. The first meeting of the task force will be held within the month. The first class to complete the Wilkes-Hahnemann ' Family Medicine Program has just graduated from its residency program . Dr. Rozelle noted that it will probably be 1987 before it can be determined how succ;essful the program has been 'in returning family physicians to the understaffed areas of Northeastern Pennsylvania, especially to the more rural counties. WILKES HISTORY - A landmark of the college lies in ruins. Last Friday, a structure known to most simply as "the facade" was torn down near the site of the new residence hall . Although plans originally called for the preservation of this structure, the instability of the foundation necessitated its destruction. Extra Section ·a eme-d ies Class o.,ercroa,ding by Mary Kay Pogar The students in Eco'nomics 231, General - Statistics,_ are learning under less crowded conditions due to the formation of another section for 21 of the 130 business majors enrolled in the course. On Monday, October 5, Ms. Roseann Cordora, began teaching the smaller section of the statistics class in Parrish 33. About ll0 students remain in the original section, which is still taught by Dr. Howard Williams. The formation of the extra section came after several of the students in the class complained of the over-crowded conditions. Questions concerning a possible violation of fire laws also prompted the placement of the 21 students into another section. According to Business Manager Charles Abate, the overcrowded conditions created an "intolerable situation" that "was not conducive to learning, and was a safety hazard." Dr. Howard Williams views the uproar over the number of students in the statistics course as "a tempest in a teapot." He feels that "the situation was blown way out of proportion." The statistics professor cites some evidence which he feels indicates that the conditions in the classroom were not severe. He noted that in a class of 130 students in room 56 in Parrish. Hall, there are approximately 11 + square inches per student, but in "at least two different classes in Parrish 53, " each student has only 9 + square inches. Thus, · a student in the class of 130 in Parrish 56 would have approximately 20 % more space than a student in either of the two classes in room 53. Dr. Williams stated that "there is no difference between a class of 35 and a class of 130." He feels that in any class of more than 20 or 30, students feel inhibited asking questions. For this reason, students would be no less likely to speak up in a class of 130 than they would in a class of 35. The placement of 21 students in another section has alleviated the overcrowded conditions in the statistics class. And if Dr. Williams' theory concerning class size is correct, the students in the new section should benefit from the small size of their class, and the students remaining in the original section will have about two more square inches each. Debate Union ---------------------------------- 4O3rd Trophy Marks 8¾ Years Of Successes The Wilkes College Debate Union achieved what many considered unthinkable a few years ago. This past weekend the members of the Debate Team handed Dr. Bradford L. Kinney his 403 trophy in eight and a half years of intercollegiafe coaching at Wilkes College. The debate squad just completed its first tournament of the year, going undefeated -against twenty-two teams from Mass. to Va. and West Virginia . The Wilkes squad defeated such powerhouses as West Chester State College and the University of Mary}and. Overall Wilkes came in second.losing the first place trophy on points to a powerful Naval Academy (Navy and Wilkes were both undefeated in competition). Wilkes debaters Melanie Russo and Fredrick Deets each were awarded trophies for their outstanding argu_menative skills and the team award was given to Dr. Bradford Kinney. Darlene Schaffer,a varsity member of the Debate Union, also participated 1n the tournament as an observer/critic for some of the novice speakers. Wilkes competed against a variety of debate institutions such as Bridg ew ate r State C ollege (Bridgewater, Mass.), Johns Hopkin Un1v., Howard Univ., Univ.· of Md., Navy, Shepherd College (W. Va .), and West Virginia Weslyan . The tournament ws hosted by Prince George Community College, Largo, Md . (located just outside Washington, D.C.). This was the first tournament of the year for the Wilkes Debaters. In the last two weeks the combined speech and debate squads have won seven major awards. Last week Dr. Kinn~y•s novice freshmen speakers - Marybeth Zuvich, Jim Lehet, and Donna O'Toole - won four awards at Shippensburg State College's Annual Novice Tournament. Ms . Zuvich won awards in prose competition, literary interpretation of poetry and was a finalist in the impromptu speaking competition . Donna O'Toole won an award for her presentation in the difficult prose competition. The Wilkes speech program has shown remarkable grow.t h and success in intercollegiate-competition in the last few years. In addition to winning debate and public speaking awards,Wilkes has enjoyed the distinction' of having won National Honors in discussion competition and is currently rank_ed in the top 15 % of all schools having Forensics programs. The 403 trophy is an accomplishment that few coaches ever achieve in a coaching career, yet Dr. Kinney's squads have accomplished this feat in just eight and a half years. Even with a limited budget and a one - man coaching staff Wilkes College now enjoys the prestig.e of being · a first - class power in forensic and debate circles. As this paper goes to press the members of "Kinney's Kids" are once again on the road as they put their 45 consecutive tournament win record on the lin!l at Clarion State College's Fall Tournament. The Clarion Tournament will attract schools from Ind ., Ohio from the North Maine, and: as far south as the Carolina's for two days of very stiff competition. The Wilkes squad will enter all areas of competition as they challenge for victory. The Debate Union is coached and directed by Dr. Braford L. Kinney of the Speech-Radio Division. �Page2, TheBeacon,Octoberl6,1981 Freshman .

' �October 16, 1981, The Beacon, Page 3 Science Expo '81 Scheduled For October 31 by Melissa Meyers On Saturday, October 31, Wilkes College will hold their "Science Expo '81" in the Stark Learning Center. The Expo is an annual event incorporating all areas of science at the college. Experiments and exhibits are ~cheduled in the departments of Biolo Ps cholo , Ph sics, fer help and answer questions. The Expo's primary function is to give area high school students the opportunity to view Wilkes College's science facilities and programs. This year, however, Coordinator Dr. Walter Placek has introduced two new purposes: to give a broader view of college life to high school students, and to give Mathematics, Computer Science, Earth and Environmental Science, Nursing, Health Science, Engineering and Chemistry. All activities, including registration and guided tours of the campus, will be prepared and presented by Wilkes College students. Club advisors and chairmen of various departments will be on hand to of- returning alumni a chance to visit their respective departments . It is for these two reasons that "Science Expo '81" is scheduled the same day as Wilkes College's Homecoming. It is Dr. Placek's view that as far as alumni are concerned, Homecoming involves a decorated cam us and a football ame but provides no opportunity to see what is happening academically . Hopefully, the Expo will give alumni an opportunity to catch up on science at Wilkes, as well as to visit old friends. Placek feels that in the past the Expo has been presenting too narrow a view of what the college has to offer, especially to visiting high school students. By incorporating the Expo with Homecoming, Placek hopes to show "not only our facilities and departments, but a little bit of college life." For this purpose, high school students will be provided with tours of the Stark Hall Complex, lunch at the cafeteria, · and complimentary tickets to the Homecoming football game. Another important aspect of this year's Expo is the emphasis on science as a career. Participating students will receive information about the vocational opportunities within all fields of science. Says Placek, "As science comes to play an ever-increasing role in daily life, opportunities for students are expanding. Our hope is to get students involved (at Wilkes) not only for our good, but their own." Although the Expo is scientific in nature, all students are invited to participate. Help is needed for publicity, registration, and campus tours for guest students. Those wishing to get involved ·should contact Dr. Walter Placek, Physics, or Professor Ann-Marie Kolapowski, Nursing. The Co-operative Education department is sponsoring a co-op fair to be held on Thursday, October 22. It will be held in Stark Leaming Center Lobby from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. 20 cooperative representatives will he on campus to discuss internships. Mr. Robert Koester and Dr. Bradford L. Kinney will he there, also. Co-op displays and literature will he featured.

National Newspaper Week is once again upon us. It is during this week that we, as Americans, must celebrate the fact that we are the only free, independent press in the world. This year's theme - A FREE PRESS, YOUR WINDOW TO THE WORLD - sums up the feeling which is prevalent in America. Without a free press, we would be fed only the information the government dictates we should know. Think how single-minded we all would be if we were fed only governmental propaganda_. A free press safeguards American freedom of speech. Americans are able to voice their opinions through letters to the editor and editorials without fear of retribution from the government. What a stale, stifled society we would have if we had to fear voicing our opinions! The right of a free press is a right guaranteed us by our founding fathers, in the First Amendment to the Constitution, and one that should not be taken lightly. However, just because we have these rights does not mean we, as private citizens, reporters or editors, have the right to disregard truth, accuracy, fairness or objectivity,, We must always strive for accuracy, truth and fairness; we must not use the pages of a newspaper for personal vendettas or for our own reward. Despite our dedication to bringing people the trutli and factual information, we sometimes do make mistakes. We are not infallible, superhuman beings. Each and every human being makes mistakes - reporters and editors included. This is not an attempt to make excuses for erroneous reporting, but rather a reminder that we are indeed subject to making mistakes, as is everyone else. We do not intentionally go out and get the facts wrong. We are human! This is where the citizen's freedom comes into play. If a mistake is made, the citizen has the right to make this fact known. We will always acknowledge our mistakes and take the necessary steps to rectify it. We welcome constructive criticism, because it can only serve to help us 90 our job better. . Newspapers have been, and always will, be accused of stirring up controversy where none exists. When we report something controversial, that is all we are doing - reporting controversy where it actually exists. By reporting controversy, we are helping you, the citizen. As citizens, don't you feel you should be made aware of a controversial proposal, event or action? You can then exercise your rights and respond in the appropriate manner. A free press is YOUR window to the world in many ways. You will always be sure that you are receiving factual, ' truthful information.

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK October 11-17, 1981 Since the founding of the Republic, freedom of the press has been a fundamental tenet of American life. We have always believed that the truth, given a chance to be heard, has a power of its own. And we recognize that a free press, whatever its occasional abuses or excesses, is essential to the pursuit of that truth and to the human freedom it engenders. To continue as a success in what Thomas Jefferson called our "noble experiment" in self-government , there is no more essen t ial ingredient than a free, strong, and independent press. For a people to truly govern themselves, they must have a free flow of information on which to base their decisions and attitudes. The dedicated men and women of the journalistic fraternity, who serve their profession with responsibility and high standards of accuracy, are among the foremost bulwarks of our nation's liberty. Their credibility and devotion to news reporting is a major factor in our people's confidence in our free institutions. Newspapers serve as the nerve centers of information so essential to the functioning of modern life in America. Because of the in-depth reporting and analysis offered by newspapers , we are able to build a knowledgeable frame-of-reference by wh ich to interpret events. The knowledge produced by devoted newspaper people coupled with the freedom to print the truth as they see it, is the foundation for the continued progress of o ur nation. Nancy and I join all Americans in paying tribute to our country's newspapers during this week long recognition of their many contributions to our way of life. Drs. Kaska And Leslie Praised For Their Humanitarian Act Editor's Note: We at the Beacon received a copy of this letter which was sent to President Capin. Because of the humanitarian qualities of several members of the Wilkes faculty, we felt the entire campus should be made ~ware of how these men helped a member of the community. We are proud to have these two men as members of the Wilkes Family! Dear Mr. Capin: A special humanitarian act was accomplished through the help of several of your staff, and I wanted to make you aware of it. Recently it came to may attention of the need for open heart surgery for a two year old boy residing in Lebanon . His physician had sent a note requesting help with this case to a cousin of the child residing in Allentown, Pa. This person is also my cousin and brought it to my attention. I discussed the case with Dr. Norman Schulman of Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. He in turn spoke with Dr. Ruggerio of General Hospital and Dr. Ruggerio was willing to present the case at a meeting scheduled the_ following day with several heart specialists. However, the case history was in French. I immediately called my friend, Dr. Tom Kaska, and asked- if he co'uld assist me. He in turn asked Dr. Donald Leslie if he would undertake this task. He agreed and . had the translation ready for me by 8:30 the following morning. The case was staffed at WilkesBarre General Hospital, a call was made to Deborah Heart and Lung Hospital and they agreed to accept the child. We sent for the child and his mother who arrived here on September 12. !,accompanied them to Deborah Hospital and Dany is scheduled for surgery this week. , The family joins me in heartfelt gratitude for caring persons such as Dr. Kaska and Dr, Leslie. Because they acted without thought of self, Dany is being helped, an indication of the calibre of these fine men . My son, (Jay Tucker, Assistant Housing Director) tells me he is enjoying his new job sq much . With people like the above-on staff, I'm so glad he is a part of the Wilkes Family. · · Sincerely, Mrs. Rose Tucker Executive Director (Community Cancer Corporation of Luzerne County) �October 16, 1981, The Beacon, Page 5 Dean Phillips -The Story 0/ An Anchorman by Lisa Gurka "Those stories and more tonight at 6 and l 1. You be here both times." Anyone who watches WBRE-TV, Channel 28, is familiar with these words spoken by the bright and personable anchorman, Dean Phillips. Phillips has been anchorman for a little over a year now, coming to Wilkes-Barre from an anchor position at WNCT-TV in Greenville, NC. Before that, he had been a talk show host, an investigative reporter, and anchorman for KFBD-TV in Great Falls, Montana . Not bad for a 29-year-old man who has been in the newsreporting business for only four short years. He describes his start in the business as a "fluke ." A business major working as a law clerk at George Mason University in Fairfax County, Virginia;"' Phillips heard that the local PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) station was starting a newscast. Disgruntled with the law business and finding it dull, he submitted a resume tape to the station - with no broadcasting training. Although he applied too late and all the positions were filled, Phillips worked part time for no money, fi_n ding that he was "fairly good" and "loved the business." "That was the best thing that ever happened to me," commented Phillips, "and I don't want to do anything else." Phillips is not only anchorman at WBRE, but he is also managing news editor and co-producer of the -11 P.M. newscast. He has .the say as to where the stories go in the newscast and how much time will be given to each story. He also writes much of the news. The purpose of news, according to Phillips, is "fulfilling a huge need in a complex world. Someone has to make sense of the events that occur each day and put them into perspective." He commented that he tries to relate the news to the people on a person-to-person level, instead of as if he were on a pedestal. Phillips said that he sometimes finds anchoring the news a little confining; . he would rather "go more in-depth" with stories. However, what he enjoys best about the news business is "the industry itself. There is never a dull moment in TV news. It's an exciting, important business a~d it keeps the adrenalin pumping." He commented that his favorite job was that of a talk show host. Instead of simply presenting the news, Phillips said, "You can take an issue and go into greater depth. You can really, truly inform people." However, Phillips said that he cannot picture himself not being associated with news. He emphatically declared, "I love news!" Phillips cited the extreme amount of competition among those in the news media, but explained that it only helps to make a person a better newscaster. "It's a tremendous responsibili~y," he commented, ,-s EYEWITNESS NEWS - Dean Phillips, a local news anchorman, teaches the Mass Media course here at Wilkes. He explains the most difficult aspect of disseminating the news as being responsible, objective and unbiased. but doing a good job is "far more important than satisfying your ego. " When asked how he feels about the Wilkes-Barre area, Phillips responded that he likes it better than any other he's been in . He feels that the people in this area are "extremely candid and actively involved in the media ." He further commented that the people will "analyze, criticize and compli- . ment. " Phillips referred to this area as "ofi__!lro_a_dway, off New York," citing the pressure cable television puts on the broadcasters of this area to do a good job. He commented that he is comfortable here · because the people don't view him as a celebrity. They see him as a person giving them the news. "That's good," he said. "I like that " "The Northeast is where it's at for news," according to Phillips. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area is ranked 45 in market size, based on the number of potential viewers. Through the cable system, the broadcasts can reach into New York and New Jersey, down into Allentown, and as far west as State College. Phillips is ranked among the top 150 anchormen and women in this country. He was also one of 20 anchors chosen to do a promo for the news with John Chancellor, anchorman for NBC Nightly News. The most difficult aspect of his work, according to Phillips, is "dealing with the responsibility of the job. We broadcast to an enormous amount of people and must strive for objectivity. It's nearly impossible, because you must be responsible to all sides involved. You have to make sure the facts are right." The difficulty is evident when there are 40 potent'ial news stories, and only 20 must be chosen to be aired. Phillips always looks for the lead story - the story that will affect the most people. For example, if there was a story on a murder and one on a major economic develop- ment, Phillips would lead off with the · economic story. "It has a greater impact and validity," he explained . In a . world of assassination attempts on world leaders and economic crises, how does a person keep his sanity and remain stable? "A sense of humor" is Phillips' answer. "It's crazy time, it's show time," commented Phillips. "You have to have a sense of humor, because you never know what you'll face when you walk in. That makes it exciting." This fact shows through in the way Phillips describes the reporters and atmosphere of WBRE. fie compares the station to M* A*S*H, himself to Hawkeye and weatherman Hugh Finn to Trapper John. He joked, "We're all a bunch of characters!" In the hectic business of making sense of the news, Phillips amazingly does find time for relaxation and recreation . His prime hobby is wood working. He is an avid baseball and softball player and fan. Phillips also enjoys golfing, which he describes as "very therapeutic." He loves the Rocky Mountains and quipped, "I think I'm a cowboy at heart. " Phillips also likes to write, although he commented that he has become less of a romantic by being involved with the news. "It toughens you up," he stated. Dean Phillips would like to write a book about being an anchorman. The potential title? "This Just In - _T he Story of an Anchorman."

Williams' play. by S. Freeman and B. Mondlak Last Friday's performance of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie had many flaws but was, overall, a good production. The Glass Menagerie is a play of human desperation, but the production ultimately failed to deliver the sense of pathetic hopelessness intended by Williams. The play was marked, however, by the strong performances of Diane Hartdagen as Amanda and Chris Lonstrup as her son Tom, which elevated the play to a pleasant collection of "spots of time." Central to the play is the character of Laura, the embodiment of all that is true, beautiful, and good. Inherent in such a character is the delicacy and fragility of her existence in the world around her. Laura is a piece of glass in Amanda's ~inbow of memory, and so becomes in her pure form an extension of the glass menagerie, reflecting the perception of beauty Amanda so desperately clings to. In much the same way, Tom is an extension of Amanda's prismatic world, and thus she expects his only function to be t he sublimation of his own heartfelt desires to her refracted space in time.

For four years she has played excellent and consistent volleyball for Wilkes in tot.al obscurity. The only people who are aware of her skills are teammates, · coaches, and opposing teams. Everyone else says "Cathy who?", but by the end of this article everyone will know who she is. A senior . biology major from Wilkes-Barre, Cathy has been a natural volleyball player ever since high school. She was a four-year . starter at GAR, and she has·been a fixture at Wilkes ever since her freshman year. For the past two seasons she has also served as team captain. Every week for Cathy is an outstanding one; however, the statistics do not tell even half of the story. This week the team played and defeated Delaware Valley and Misericordia. Cathy's sta~ were 17 kills and 18 service aces for the two games . These are excellent numbers, but the incredible thing is that she does it all the time.

The setter is the quarterback, for she. gets the offense moving and, in a sense, throws the passes (sets) to the receivers (hitters). The hitters usually get all of the publicity, but a hitter is only as good as the person who sets her the ball. Cathy is an excellent setter, and she makes it easy for all of the hitters to complete kills. Believe me, she is greatly appreciated. The setter may be small in the eyes of the media, but she looms large to the rest of the team. Cathy is a serious person, and this is reflected in her approach to the game. She plays volleyball because it is good excerise and provides an excellent opportunity to meet people, but shem mainly plays for the competition. Cathy is a real competitor, and she hates to lose a match. This may sound a bit negative, but as the saying goes, "show me a good loser, and I will show you a loser." Cathy also takes her position as team captain very sedously, and she is aware of her responsibility. She knows that she must lead the team both on and off the court, but she also knows that she must keep the team psyched up Chuck Robbins ...

The Beacon, October 16, 1981 Colonelettes Split Two Games WATCH THAT STICK - here's a typical example of the tough competition the Colonelettes had against Marywood. The only trouble is, they all seem to have the same uniforms. by Ellen Van Riper The field hockey team split two games this week. They lost to Marywood 2-1 and defeated FDUMadison 4-0 to raise their record to 2-6. The Marywood game can becalled the one that' got away. Statistically, the lady Colonels completely dominated the game, but a failure to capitalize on opportunities and defensive lapses cost them the victory. The offense . produced 24 shots on goal and 8 penalty corner shots as compared to Marywood's 8 and 3. Diane Hall scored the lone goal for Wilkes. The team had an abundance of opportunties to score, but they just could not find the net. It was a tougliloss, but there were some bright spots which were· greatly encouraging. The first was the overall offensive output which is the result of a readjusted attack formation. The second was the defensive play of senior co-captain Helen Gorgas. Time and time . again from her center halfback spot she frustrated Marywood's scoring drives. The third is perhaps the most important. The team was down 2-0 at the half, and everybody could have lain down and given up. However, the ladies showed their heart and character, for they came out in the second half fighting and scored 12 min.!filtinto the half/ -- The game against FDU was all lady Colonels as the team totally dominated the contest. This time the score matched the statistics. The ladies outshot FDU 31 to 4 and had· 16 penalty corners as compared to 4 fo r FDU. The first goal was scored by freshman Jeanne Dougherty, the first of her career, and she was assisted by Diane McGovern . The second was scored unassisted by Helen Gorgas. This goal was unusual, for halfbacks usually do not score during the course of a game. At halftime the score was'2-0. In the second half, t he team took up where it left off. Junior cocaptain Diane Hall scored the third goal on an assist from freshman Sue DeFrates. Sue then got the first of her career as she was assisted by Michelle Weiss to close out the scoring. Colonels Lose Fourth To Trenton Costly errors helped the Colonels surrender to defeat once again. For their fourth straight loss, the Colonels succumbed to Trenton State 18-7 last Saturday in Trenton, New Jersey. Neither team scored in the first half, but Wilkes had an opportunity to score with a little over five minutes left in the third quarter after Larry McMullen recovered a fumble at the Trenton State eight yard line. It would have been the first time the Colonels took the lead in a game this year, but Trenton's Al Canzano stole a Wayne Lonstein pass at the goal line and -returned the ball all the way to the Colonel's 41 yard line. Six plays later Tren- ton took the lead 6-0 before failing to make a two point conversion. In their very next possession, the Colonels made it easy for Trenton State by fumbling on first down . In no time at all, Wilkes fell behind, 12-0. With 6:47 left in the game the Colonels had a chance to narrow the gap after Carl Sosnowski recovered a fumble at the Trenton four yard line. After three plays, Wilkes got pushed back seven yards to their opponent's eleven. A fourth down pass attempt failed, and the Colonels missed out on another scoring opportunity. Wilkes avoided_its third straight shutout late in the fourth quarter when Tony Madden hauled in a Bill Rogers pass from ten yards out. The Colonels had previously gone eleven quarters without scoring. With a minute left in the game, Trenton State finished the Colonels off with another touchdown . Mike Azure and Pat Walsh were strong defensively, tackling 14 and 12 respectively. So far this season the Colonels have been out-scored 142 to 26. A loss at Juniata tomorrow will ensure a losing season for Wilkes . In the aerial department, Wilkes picked up a meager 18 yards. Bob Hessling gained 61 of 79 rushing yards for the Colonels, who gained only 97 yards overall. Trenton State gained 295 total yards. Pascoe Breaks Personal Record by Ellen Van Riper The cross country team made the most of its one meet this week by narrowly defeating Moravian 27-29. This impressive victory ran . the overall season record to 9-5, and the winning strea~ is at six and counting. This was a tough meet for the Colonel harriers. Coach Bellairs was a bit concerned, for his young squad was facing a team which had been excellent last year and which was returning its top two runners. In addition, the team had an injury problem. Joe Dill, the crucial fifth man, ran with painful blisters on his feet, and Rob Davis was out with an injury. The team had a disadvantage, and it needed someone to assert himself and run to victory. Enter Ken Pascoe, the natural choice, for he is the captain and a senior. The saying "when the going getstough, the tough get going" best describes Pascoe's performance. A seasoned, veteran runner, he rose to the occasion and tan thence of his life. The race began, and the top Moravian runner led for the first two miles with Pascoe hot on his heels. At this point, Ken began to assert himself. He blew past the Moravian runner, and showed him and the rest of the field nothing but his heels until the finish line with a personal best time of 26:14. Coach Bellairs had nothing but praise for Pascoe's outstanding perform ance. He noted that Pascoe really became a leader, for he was determined and wanted the race. Ken is also an inspiration to his younger teammates, for . h.e · is working hard for the upcoming MAC's. It would be a safe bet to predict more outstanding performances for the rest of the season and, of course, at the MAC's. SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES • byllarktl•••• Losing. It isn't really much to talk about. It's supposed to be helpful. We're supposed to learn from it. However, it just isn't that simple. Last week our football team lost again. Other teams from Wilkes lose. But for the football team this year, something different comes into the losing picture. The last six years -saw losing seasons for the Wilkes College Colonels. Since 1975 we won · 12 games, lost 30. The 1974 division championship and the glory years of 'the late 60's are all but a memory now . The past is gone. In twenty years Rollie Schmidt has become the "winningest" football coach in Wilkes history. His 90-68-1 record as of last week is nothing to be scoffed at. It is pretty impressive. This week, Schmidt will be facing a low ebb in his coaching . career. This year the Colonels.have lost their first four games in a row. If they lose at Juniata Saturday, the streak will be at five. It will be the worst start for the Colonels in twenty years. Last year the Colonels began the year losing four straight games. Take the last two games from the 1979 season and you have the longest losing streak for the Colonels in twenty years. Six in a row. In 1978 Wilkes lost five in a row, and in 1977 the Colonels lost their first four. From 1965, midway into the season, to the beginning of the 1969 season, the Colonels rolled up 32 victories in a row. But the glory years are gone. Facing the Colonels and coach Schmidt is the worst season in Wilkes history. If they win one game, it'll be one of the worst seasons. Since 1946 the Colonels have managed to win at least one game a season. If the Colonels lose to Juniata tomorrow, this will be another losing season. Make that seven in a row. The pressure is on the Colonels, but what would there be to learn from all this losing? What have they learned this season? There isn't really much to say about losing. It's not impressive. It's not really enjoyable, unless one can tolerate it. Wilkes football fans are beginning to tolerate losing. They just don't go to the games. Our lacrosse team always seemed to lose. Opinions and objections, criticism and reflections are all means by which a team and its progress can be examined. But talk is cheap. What can be said? The Colonel line doesn't seem to open gaping holes for any superstar running backs to burst through. The uarterback we have three that , ta e turns, it seems) oesn t get the time to hit some fleet-footed receiver for that big pass play. Tony Madden is the star receiver, but he's only had a handful of passes thrown to him all year. The defense has been spared any criticism because all their problems could be blamed on the offense, which seldom gives them a chance to rest. However, the other teams do move the ball against us. They roll up the yardage and the points. Azure and Walsh and some of the others are really tough competitors; they produce, but the · Wilkes defense also relenquishes. W.,e intercept many passes but many more land complete. A good running back could have a field day breaking tackles against · Wilkes.~ Coach Schmidt often asserts that on any given day, one MAC north division team can beat the next. The day hasn't come yet for Wilkes. When an opponent hands the ball over to the Wilkes offense, the defensive team has three plays and a punt to get instructions from · Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas. Business as usual. The punt gets blocked, Wilkes fumbles . How does a team get motivated when · everything goes wrong? Wilkes has a basically young team. They really don't have much to lose from losing. The team has experience to gain but they learn nothing about winning. Think about it. The freshmen on the team do not know what it is like to win a college football game . The seniors know what it is like, but so far their last year mustn't be fu ll of many good memories. It's a shame this year has gone so poorly. Winning doesn't come easily. The team has no trouble losing. There isn't really much to • say about losing. Wilkes is now in the position of , being the doormat of the MAC north division. Football is a game of pride. Games are won on pride. so called "miracles" are accomplished . But pride alone is not enough . It can be as destructive as it is helpful. It . can be destroyed. The football team will have to do something, or . it will have nothing to be proud of . The team will have the future,. Coach Schmidt will have his memories, fans .will hav e something to talk or argue about, students will ask "Did we win?" Will we win? It won't. be easy . Juniata is tough at home. The Indians may ·be a tough team, a better team . The pressure is on. We may win or we may lose, but the most important thing for the Colonels would be to at least make it look as if they tried. ◄ . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Testing water from a water fountain on the fourth floor of Stark Learning Center, Azure found that it contained high levels of copper. Mike Azure made this discovery while learning to use the atomic absorption spectrophotometer, a machine used to detect the existence of certain elements in water. He found that copper was present at levels varying from 2.3 to 4.3 parts per million, meaning that there are 2.3 to 4 .3 parts of copper per million parts of water. This amount seems insignificant until one realizes that the _acceptable level of copper in drinking water is only 1.0 part per million . Four years ago, Dr. Tom Stevens, a former member of the Earth and Environmenta( Science Dep·a rtment, made a similar discovery using a more primitive method. Stevens placed Black Mollies, tropical fish which was sensitive to copper, in-water from the fountain outside Stark 437. The fish died. From this experiment Stevens concluded that there were excessive amounts of copper present. It was not until Azure's experiment, however, that it was known just how high these amounts were. A 1980 study conducted by the Noyes Data Corporation of New Jersey concluded that slightly over 1 % of drinking water samples in America exceeded the drinking water standard of one milligram of copper per liter. According to a U.S. Public Health Service study, only 11 out of 969 water systems exceeded this level. · Although the level of copper in Stark's water is high, it does not appear to pose an immediate health hazard. The Noyes study suggests that it would take 15 mg of copper per day to produce observable effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In order to accumulate 15 mg of copper, an individual would have to drink between 3.5 and 6.5 liters of water from water fountains in the Stark Learning Center. One unpleasant consequence of the contamination is the distinctive metallic taste of the water. Dr . Brian Redmond of the Earth and Environmental Science Depart. ment speculates that the source of the problem could be corrosion of copper pipes. Thus, a little attention to the plumbing :would not only improve the water's taste, it would also remedy the potential health hazard in Stark Learning Center .

The facade was intended to remain standing and be incorporated into the design of the new residence hall. In fact, it is stated in the publicity flyer concerning the residence hall, "Historic Conyngham 'Facade' will be inc0rp0Iated into the architectural design of the facility ." . However on Septemo'er 24, President Robert S. Capin received a letter from Sordoni Construction informing him of some problems with the facade. A letter was also sent to the architects, Pyros and Sanderson. Some of the problems with the facade were that the · stone work that was, to remain had beeome locked with that which was to be removed, the platform of the portico was deteriorating and the overhead stone work was pulling away from its foundation . The letter also indicated that, because of the vibrations from the machinery being used, the risk of the facade collapsing would be increased . · Sordoni Construction offered a few options to t~ college: repair the facade at a cost of approximately $25,000, or remove it entirely. The construction company deemed the latter option as the best possible solution . After receiving the letter, Ca pin and others inspected the facade. A report of its condition was given to the Board of Trustees of Septem her 25. Consequently, they voted to have the facade taken down. On September 27, Capin spoke to William Siener of the Wyoming Valley Historical Society and informed him of the plans. Siener, through the Historical Society, offered a sum between $1,200 and $1,500 towards the repair costs. However, it was felt that this amount was not enough to help defray the costs. Capin then sent - a letter to Rachel Gutman, President of the Historical Society, further explaining the position of the college. The Society was interested in obtaining some salvaged pieces of the facade . After looking the pieces over and deciding which ones they wanted, the stone work was removed to the Swetland Homestead in Wyoming, Pa. On October 15, Capin received a letter from Gutman stating that, although saddened by the facade being torn down, the Historical Society fully understood and backed the decision the college had made. Capin commented that the college "fought to have it (the facade) remain standing" but the circumstances necessitated other courses of action. · 'Tm disappointed the facade had to be removed," he said. The college is also trying to save the Cooper Bee.ch trees on the corner of S. River and Northampton Streets. However, Capin explained that the tree on River Street is "sick." It was hit by lightening a few ,years ago and is in danger of dying. �Page 2, The Beacon, October 30, 1981 Haman Servic-e s Schedules Blood Donor Day Nov .6 by Amy Elias The Human Services Committee of Wilkes College, a club comprised of Wilkes students who work to promote college and community services, is coordinating a Blood Donor Day in conjunction with Red Cross. The event will be held Friday, Novem ber 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Wilkes' Gym. Chris Lain, chairperson of the event, noted that a previously scheduled date was changed to Nov. 6 to avoid a conflict with an all-college assembly. A $25.00 prize will be awarded to the residence hall which sponsors the most donors; Human Services will also award a plaque to. the club or organization which most actively participates in the event . The awards, Lain stated, will hopefully serve as an i~entive to residence halls and clubs to en- courage and organize their members to give blood. Reviewing the previous Blood Donor Days held at the college, Lain noted that the greatest number of donors had been 240, and that a goal of 500 donors is being projected for Nov. 6. "We want to stress commuter student and faculty involvement this year," she commented , and observed that only 20 % of the donors in the past have been commuters. Lain pointed to the fact that since the blood donated will be used to benefit the local community, it is to the advantage of commuter students who live in this community to donate blood.

Rooney's previous positions this semester as Vice President and representative had begun to make difficult his maintaining academic credits. Rooney stated that his main objective right now is to graduate on time and his involvement in SC impedes this. He added that he openly supports President Ana Nunez and SC and although he resigned from his executive position, he still plans to be involved with the SC Social Committee and the Student Center Board. Rooney then encouraged the members of the SC body to continue their enthusiasm and thanked the organization for "the best experiences" of his college years. With that, Rooney rece~ed emphatic applause and a standing ovation which refle~ed the admiration felt for him by the SC members. President Nunez congratulated Rooney for his dedicated involvement in SC for the past three years. She mentioned that the organization will miss him but is pleased that he will continue to serve on his designated committees. Dean Hoover commented that he admires Rooney's decision. The first reading for a fund request was made by Tim Ryan, representing Friends Forever, the Big Brothers and Sisters organization here on campus. He requested for the organization $200 from SC funds to sponsor a Halloween party for the children par- ticipating in Friends Forever. The second reading and voting of the request will be made at the next SC meeting. Under committee reports, Keith Sands announced an Academic Committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. in SLC room 127. Concerning the Social Committee, Lor Martin mentioned that last week's Western party was very successful. When asked why _there was no food at the party, Martin replied that the committee felt instead of paying for food the money should be put towards building up its budget, now running low because of the money loss from the first gym party held this year. _. Peer Counseling Chairperson Cindy Bonham said that students interested in counseling should return their applications to the SC office by Friday, Nov. 13. Applications for Peer Counseling are currently available in the SC office. Finally, in response to what so me SC members termed "apathetic attitudes" of the SC organization, Advisor Dean Hoover stressed to the SC body that the organization must continue to dedicate themselves to exert their leadership and move forward. According to Dean Hoover, "SC is· the most influential body that represents the students" and he hopes to see more positive action in the future. Lourie Pleased With Response To Hall Pre9idents' Council by Donna Nitka IRHC President Bill Lourie stated during Sunday's meeting that he is pleased with the response to his new Hall Presidents' Council. He noted that although the -turnout at the meetings has only been slightly greater than 50 % , the Council is very enthusiastic. The Council has already formed two committees: an Inter-Hall Committee, and a Hall Govern- ment Committee. Lourie further noted that the Council has decided to elect a director, an assistant director, a recording secretary and a corresponding secretary. These officers will be elected at a future Hall Presidents' Council meeting. Human Services Committee cochairperson Chris Lain reminded everyone of the upcoming Blood Donor Day which will be held November 6 in the gym. She en- couraged everyone to register a time to donate blood . She stated that members of the Human Services -Committee will be calling students who registered to donate blood a day or two in advance to remind them of their pledges. Both Lain and Lourie stressed the need for blood in this area, and encouraged students to be donors . In other business, Lourie announced that as of October 5, an IRHC rep would be allowed three unexcused absences before being listed as an inactive member. He noted that missing an IRHc' meeting was the equivalent of a full absence, while missing an office hour or committee meeting was ½ an absence. Lourie stated that he has been pleased with attendance thus far. He noted that representative participation in IRHC is vital. CC Disappointed With Dance-a-thon Turnout by John Finn Monday night Thor Foss expressed his indignation with fellow members of the Commuter Council after reporting a disappointing turnout at last weekend's United Way Drive Dance-a-thon. For the past several weeks Foss, chairman of the drive, had been planning the event and, according to many council members ; working diligently to ensure its success. But Foss was also counting on the participation from various campus organizations, including CC. After congratulating the several members who did participate, and one who danced the entire 24 hours from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, Foss told the council that "unless events seem to be helping you directly, no one wants to participate." Joe Knox, CC President, also expressed his dissappointment, but he also commended Foss for his outstanding work. Knox said "the planning and preparation was extensiv~." Knox then announced the start of a new "Representative of the Week" program. The program will recognize those members who do an outstanding job with council work. The first Representative of the Week is Thor Foss. Andrea Fronzoni, social committee chairman, reminded the council that the Halloween Party will be held tomorrow night in the gym . The party is BYOB. Due to lack of help, the CC Homecoming Committee has canceled nlan~ to h11ilrl" FlnM . "~ cording to Dave Kalinowski, committee co-chairman. Originally the committee had planned to construct a float and display for this week's events. The display is being constructed on the front of the Student Center. Guidelines of criteria for becoming an associate member of CC are being written by Nancy Bowanko, Parliamentarian. Bowanko discussed proposals with the council and said that the final rules should be completed in the next few weeks. Atlantic City .

In this era of more complex space ventures, overwhelming uses for the computer and revitalization of cities across the nation, this saying seems to be finding its way into more people's thoughts than ever before. Wilkes has gotten rid of some old things old, dilapidated buildings - and is bringing in some new ones - the new residence hall. And, of course, a few weeks ago the Conynghanr facade was torn down . While many people disagree with the decision of the college to remove the facade, we must accept change as a part of life; people change, times change, trends and fads change. Most of the time we go merrily on our way, not noticing the minute changes that occur in our lives. There are times, however, when a change occurs that we notice because it saddens us, makes us happy or otherwise greatly affects our lives. The Conyngham facade had been a part of the campus for a number of years. Many people admired it as they walked by. Others barely even noticed it. For some, it was a piece of history that is now gone; for others, it was just a pile of stone. Many people question the administration's decision and seeming lack of concern for this "historical" monument . We have heard cries of "foul" and "deception. " However, before we condemn the decision of the college and its officials, we must first look at the facts. The structure was old and deteriorating. The original plans called for the incorporation of the facade into the design of -the new residence hall . But because of the condition of the facade, and concern for the safety of students and faculty, the decision to tear down the facade was made. True, it was a piece of Wilkes history. But after weighing the pros and cons, we feel that the college did, in fact, make the right decision . We feel that the college did all that was possible to preserve the structure. And since the maintenance of the facade was not economically feasible, and since the safety of the college family was in question, preservin·g an historical structure of which few knew the significance was not worthwhile. Inmate Seeks Pen Pals To the Editor: I have written to your college a few times asking if you would put my name in your college paper. You see, I am an inmate in a Federal prison. Prison life is hard on a man; it's even harder when you haven't anyone to write to . Everyone needs friendship to get them through lonely times; and to share their feelings and thoughts. Would you please put my name in your campus paper? Thank you for your time, help and understanding.

There is usually some event sponsored by a Wilkes organization such as the movies and fil ms presented by the Manuscript Society and the Student Government Film Committee. Many top-name films and "blockbusters" can be viewed on va rious weekends and are sponsored by the SC Film .Committee. Elaine Kerchusky, chairperson of the committee, has done an excellent job in choosing movies that will be shown throughout the year. Last year, Kerchusky took a poll • concerning the students' favorite movies and those they'd most like to see. SC alotted her $4,500 to pick 14 films, seven per semester, that would appeal to the Wilkes · student audience. Kerchusky then searched through film ~ ompany catalogues and ordered specific films. Kerchusky said that as chairperson she sought variety when choosing films. She men tioned that the film s should be divided into categories of comedy, horror, romance, drama, and religious films. She noted that the basic love story and comedy film are favorities among the students. Kerchusky also said that there should be some diven;ity in the popularity of the films, such as having some "blockbusters" as well as the lesser names. The films need to be geared toward the college student audience. In addition , Kerchusky finds out which of her films will be shown on the television movie channel. She then schedules her films to be shown here befo re the movie channel airs them . So far this year, the film series has been quite successful. Kerchusky has heard may positive things from students concerning the film series . She likes to see the audience enjoy the fil ms, especially the cartoons. She is pleased with the audience participation and conduct of the students at recent fil ms. This is Kerchusky's last year as Film Committee Chairperson. She welcomes any interested students to contact her if they are interested in helping with the fil ms. The SC film series is rising in popularity because of the great selection of movies and the increased student attendance.

Drop your guard for a minute. Even though you're in college right now, there are many aspects of the Army that you might find very attractive. Maybe evelt irresistible. See for yourself. MED SCHOOL.ON US You read it right. The Army's Health Professions Scholarship Program provides necessary tuition, books, lab fees, even microscope rental during medical school. Plus a monthly stipend that works out to about $6,000 a year. After you're accepted into medical school, you can be accepted into our program. Then you're commissioned and you go through school as a Second Lieu ten ant in the A rmy Reserve. The hitch? Very simple. A fter you graduate , you give the Army a year as a doctor for every year the Army gave you as a med student, with a minimum ob ligation of three years' service. INTERNSHIP, RESIDENCY & CASH BONUSES Besidd scholarships to medical school. the ' Army also offers AMA-approved first-year post-graduate and residency training programs. Such training adds no further obligation to the scholarship participant. But any Civilian Graduate Medical Education sponsored by the Army gives you a one-year obligation for every year of sponsorship, with a minimum obligation of two years' service. But you get a $9,000 1annual bonus every year you're paying back medical school or postgraduate training. So you not only get your medical education paid for, you get extra pay while you're paying it back. Not a bad deal. A GREAT PLACE TO BE A NURSE The rich tradition of Army Nursing is one of excellence, dedication, even heroism. And it's a challenge to live up to. Today, an Army Nurse is the epitome of professionalism, regarded as a critical member of the Army Medical Team. A BSN degree is required . And the clinical spectrum is almost impossible to match in civilian practice. And , since you'll be an Army Officer, you'll enjoy more respect and authority than most of your civilian counterparts. You'll also enjoy travel opportunities, officer's pay and officer's privileges. Army Nursing offers educational opportunities that are second to none. As an Army Nurse , you could be selected for graduate degree programs at civilian universities. A BONUS FOR PART-TIME WORK You can get a $ 1,500 bonus just for enlisting in some Army Reserve units. Or up to $4,000 in educational benefits. You also get paid for your Reserve duty. It comes out to about $1.100 a year for one weekend a month and two weeks annual training. And now we have a special program to help you fit the Army Reserve around your school schedule. It's worth a look. ADVANCED NURSING COURSE. TUITION-FREE You get tuition , pay and living allowances. You can also take Nurse Practitioner courses and courses in many clinical specialities. All on the Army. While th ese programs do not cost you any money, most of them do incur an additional service obligation. A SECOND CHANCE AT COWCiE A CHANCE TO PRACTICE LAW Some 1may find college to be the right place at the wrong time for a variety of reasons .The Army can help them , too . A few years in the Army can help them get money for tuition and the maturity to use it wisely. T he Army has a program in which money saved for college is matched two-for-one by the government. Then, if one qualifies , a generous bonus is added to that. So 2 years of service can get you up to $15,200 for college, 3 and 4 years up to $20,100. In addition, bonuses up to $5,000 are available for 4-year enlistmenrs in selected skills. Add in the experience and maturity gai ned, and the Army can send an individual back to college a richer person in more ways th an one. We hope these Army opportunities h ave intrigued you as well as surprised you. Because there is indeed a lot the Army can offer a bright person like you . For more information, send the coupon . If you 're about to get your law degree and be admitted to the bar, you should consider a commission in the Judge Advocate General Corps. Because in the Army you get to practice law right from the start. While your classmates are still doing other lawyers' research and other lawyers' briefs, you could have your own cases, your own clients, in effect, your own practice. Plus you 'II have the pay, prestige and privileges of being an Officer in the United States Army. With a chance to travel and make the most of what you 've worked so hard to become. A real. practicing lawyer. Be an Army Lawyer. ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS Though you·re too late for a 4-year scholarship. there are 3-, 2-, and even 1-year scholarships available.

Usually it's a player on a team's offense, or perhaps a goalie. . This week, such is not the case. Linda Dayer, a junior nursing major from Stanhope, New Jersey, is a fullback onCoach Gay Meyers, women's field hockey squad. Last 'feek, the Colonelettes foun d themselves in three must-win situations (see related story) in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. During the week, some key players were injured, player positions were changed, and the girls found themselves in some clutch situations. Enter Linda Dayer . . "She has become 'Ms. Reliable' with hardly ever a miss. We can count on her making that big play at the most critical time;" Coach Meyers explained. "She had an outstanding week, and just when we needed it." "When Linda comes to the ball, yo~ know she's going to get it, " AssIStant Coach Mary Jo Frail explained, and that's the point. Frail added that "if anybody got to see all the hockey games that week, they would have agreed fully one hundred percent that Linda was Athlete of the Week." There are no statistics that can truly bring into focus her performance. It's a matter of being at the right place at the .right time, and tha(s what Linda does best. Because of Linda's strong hitting and accurate passing, it becomes difficult for any team to get anywhere against Wilkes. "We wouldn't have won those three games if it weren't for Linda Dayer and the defense," Meyers explained. It's that simple. Mary Jo Frail added, "It's easy for a defensive la er to et overlookeQ. · Linda Dayer October 30, 1981, The Beacon, Page 7 Spiker•'·Streak Extended To Ten by Suzette Dyanick With their record at 8-2, the women's volleyball team was on a roll and there was no end in sight. On Wednesday, Oct. 14 the opponents were the women of Penn State Lehman. At their last encounter Wilkes made fast work of PSU Lehman. Tonight was an instant replay . Jennifer Golding and Ellen Van Riper were terrors at the net with six kills apiece. Sally Fisher and Debbie Kramer had four kills apiece. At the serving line it was Jennifer Golding with eleven aces. Cathy Dudick scored six and Debbie Kramer also had six. The offense begins with / the defense. The next pass to be made is a pass from the defense." Valerie Frey said, "If she doesn't play consistently, it's when the whole team isn't playing con- · sistantly."

Phone 288-1232 second overall . Both teams had to cope with a course which was redundant and which ran along a highway, but Susquehanna had the home course advantage. Susquehanna had seven run. ners finish before the fifth Wilkes runner, Joe Dill, so his place was quite high. Bellairs stated th at this problem exemplifies the need for depth on a cross country team. The best way to explain the problem is with a hypothetical meet situation. For example, if the Wilkes team places its top four runners in the first, third , fou rth, and seventh places overall, and the opposition places the second, fifth , sixth through thirteenth runners with the fifth Wilkes ru nner corn ing in fo urteenth , then Wilkes loses the meet 28-29 . The key is to have the fifth runner place as high as possible. At present the Colonels are failing to do this. Coach Bellairs is hoping that senior Jim Bell will unseat Joe Dill for that fifth spot.

The match went five tough games with Wilkes corning away the victors. Dudick, Golding, and Van Riper were their usual outstanding selves. Scores were 15-9, 15-10, and 15-4.

Vol. XXXIV No . 8 October 30, 1981 Page 8, The Beacon, October 30, 1981 Based On Student Involvement New ·lntramural Program Now Taking Shape by Mark James "It's just people saying 'why not' for a couple hours a week," explained Intramural Director Bart Bellairs. Inspired by his experience at Division I Western Illinois, home of the nation's number one intramural program, Bart Bellairs has taken over the position of Intramural Director at Wilkes with high hopes. Bellairs hopes someday Wilkes will be the proud beholder of the country's number one division III intramural program. But all hope of any s'uccess is at the mercy of student enthusiasm and support. So far, Bellairs has been drumming up support for intramurals in every way imaginable, but much of the program's success will lie in the imagination itself. Winners of the men's intramural tennis competition are, from left to right, Joe Fodi - division B, Alan Melusen, division C, and Mike Shortell, division A. ' You don't like sports? How about chess? There will be wild picture - taking contests, maybe even mud wrestling. Think you're tough? Sign up for the upcoming Iron Man (and Iron Woman) competition. Be a superhero in your spare time. Bellairs pointed out, _ "Competitiveness is second to participation and fun." "Students have to make the effort themselves," Bellairs contends. "Intramurals is something the whole student body should not only be involved in, but proud of." Getting' involved means getting to make new friends. Who knows, maybe students from the different worlds of Wilkes (residents, commuters, apartment dwellers) will have a chance to know each other a little better. The intention is admirable, but will it work? That'll be up to the students. It is the student that must take the initiative to make any one event a success . A few dedicated individuals must be willing to organize the events, be it an ongoing event such as team volleyball competition, or whether it is a one day . event such as a football accuracy throw. The flag football event has about 180 participants, and tennis has been such a success under the direction of Barry Spevak that it may even be repeated in the Spring. The intramural program could continue to be a growing success. Why not? If not, it'll be time for the 'ol sarcastic "welcome to Wilkes" for Bart Beilairs. It is~' t a very welcome thought. Interested? Why not! Commentary---------- - Press Plays Up Possible Resignation by Mark James People S;11Y, "Rollie must go. Others just anticipate that he will go. Some are downright certain of it.

His team has lost six games in a row by huge margins to teams some of which Wilkes gave an annual beating, year after after. Suddenly it seems that Colonel followers, people who have seen the ups and downs, others who have not over the past twenty years, have become outraged, disappointed, whatever over the terrible season Wilkes has been having. No doubt about it, it has been terrible. It seems the situation this season has been developing over the past half decade or more, hovering over Schmidts head like an albatros around some old seaman's neck. Or like a cold you just can't shake. Forgotten are the glory years of past, unrecognized are the internal workings of the football program, the problems and the promise . The limelight is surrounded by those unbelievable statistics: the longest losing streak, outscored so far 213 to 33, seven straight losing seasons, the list goes on. Then there are the rumors, assumptions, and heresay. And cliche's. He's washed up . Nineteen-forty football. Twenty yea rs seems like a nice round number . He's going to resign and become a golf pro. Bad press . . Take what you read here with a grain of salt. This writer had an assignment to cover the Juniata . game four hours driving distance away, only to wake up that Satur- day-morning twenty five minutes after the team, coaches, and trainers had already left. Insomnia again? No, there are no excuses, just a blatant mistake. It appears one is not alone. Dave Cater of a local newspaper has already told local readers who the replacement will be.: Marv Antinnes of Wyoming Seminary. One source had this personal opinion: "There's no scoop there. It's been known fact for the last five years that if Schmidt resigned, Marv Antinnes would be the first approached. Cater has got the reputation of taking rumors and calling them fact." Many people are certain this will be Schmidt's last year. But aren't we all jumping the gun a little? There's a season going on. When actually asked whether or not he was going to resign, Coach Schmidt replied, "I can't really tell you what I don't know." Keep in mind .that the only one who coufd decide whether Coach Schmid.t resigns is Coach Schmidt himself. But, of course, there are plenty that are sure he will. Nothing like giving hints. It seems the entire football picture is a little out of focus. The blame £qr such a lousy season cannot rest on one man's shoulders, although that may just be the situation here, some people th.ink. It's probably impossible to get the full perspective of the situation . Much of the available information is contradictory; more of it is just a matter of opinion. Most likely, any attempt at a bottom · line is unrealistic . Another point is that this isn't a matter of life or death. "If Wilkes was a big time school like Notre Dame with scholarships and the sary. He should support the team like, I would understand it. This is and the coaches.

Saturday's homecoming game will be a good opportunity for that support to come around. Johns Hopkins has some of the strangest, well, unique formations and strategies with their "pizazz" style offe nse and defense. The game will be the Colonels' best opportunity to redeem themselves, at least for the afternoon . Then it's back to work. Another game, another challenge, and the reality of Coach Schmidt's demise this year will surface again . This week, we've seen an effect of a losing season. Next week, we'll look at the causes.

Tljfi Non-profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 NACURH Naanes Wilkes College School Of The Month For Sept. by Donna Nitka The National Association for College and University Residence Halls has named Wilkes College the school of the month for September. The College, which is a member of the NACURH North Atlantic Affiliate, received the award for the IRHC Freshman Follies. According to IRHC corr~ponding secretary Marge LeBlanc, a resident of the school must submit a nomination of a specific program fbr the award. The program is then judged on originality, number of participants, and number of people on campus who attend it. LeBlanc noted that the pro·gtams submitted for nomination by IRHC included the establishment of the IRHC Hall Presidents' Council, revision of the IRHC constitution, and the award-winning Freshman Follies. The Freshman Follies were held the first weekend in September. Freshmen were dressed in initiation costumes and were taught acts by their hall's upperclassmen. The freshmen were then judged for their performances. Awards were given to the freshmen with the best act and the freshmen with the most spirit. LeBlanc noted that IRHC will be presented with the award at the NACURH regional conference, which will be held this weekend at Whittenburg College in Ohio. She stated that although Wilkes has been a member of NACURH for two years, this is the first time the college has nominated a program for the award. She added however, that IRHC does plan to submit upcoming programs for nomination. Wilkes competed with 35 other schools in the NACURH North Atlantic Affiliate for the award. IRHC President Bill Lourie summed up the feelings of the InterResidence Hall Council when he stated, "It's a great honor for the school and IRHC. We're really proud to bring honor to our school." CORNERSTONE CEREMONY - President Capin and SC President Ana Nunez help to lay the cornerstone for the new residence hall. Members of the board of trustees, alumni and interested deans, faculty and students attended the ceremony which was last Saturday morning. Representatives from the local media were present to cover the event, which was followed by a champagne toast on the porch of the Student Center. Admissions Office Reports Increase In Number Of Applications by Mary Kay Pogar During the past few years, the activity of the admissions office has significantly increased, resulting in a 35 % rise in the number of applications received. According to Dr. Gerald Wuori, Dean of Admissions, the increase in number of applications has paralleled an increase in all activities of the admissions office. Dr. Wuori notes that there are five ways to measuring the general activity of the admissions office; a count of inquiries, number -of applications received, number of acceptances, tuition deposits, and actual registrations. The number of inquiries by all prospective students requesting information or applications have shown an increase of 28 % . The dean of admissions believes this is a direct result of an increase in recruiting activity. Over the past three years, the admissions office has widened its area of recruitment from three to ten states, and has now established contact with nearly 800 high schools. This is an increase from only 225 schools contacted just three years ago. As a result, the adfllissions office now Dentistry Program With Temple Established by Donna Nitka In recognition of the need for more dentists in the underserved areas of Pennsylvania and its contiguous communities, Wilkes College and Temple University School of Dentistry have established a joint educat ional program. Students who successfully complete the program will receive a Bachelor of Science degree from Wilkes and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Temple University within six or seven years. The program's six-or sevenyear track of study includes three years of pre-professional and four years of dental education. In the six-year program, a student would attend Wilkes for two academic years, including summers. At the end of that time, a . selection committee, comprised of members of the Wilkes and Temple dental school faculties would select students for entrance into professional dental studies. Students could also choose to complete pre- professional requirements in three academic years, excluding summers. A student may major in any academic program ; however, the student must fulfill a science pre-requisite that includes: Biology 201-202, 205-206, Chemistry 115-116, 231-232, Physics 105-106 or 201-202, Math 105-106 or 111-112, and Psychology 101-102. Students in the program who are not selected for entrance into the dental school must complete a fourth academic year at Wilkes in order to satisfy requirements for a Bachelor's degree. Dr. Dale Roeck, Dean of the dental school, noted four major advantages of the cooperative program: .a student's financial o_utlay for education will be reduced by the shortened time frame of the preprofessional program; a student will stilf remain eligible while in dental school for financial aid from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency because of the shorter undergraduate time; students in the program who qualify will be assured of acceptance into the dental school; the shorter undergraduate time will allow students to begin their dental practices and earn income much sooner. Dr. Ralph Rozelle,·Wilkes' Dean of Health Sciences, stated that the Wilkes/Temple Dent-istry Program "is an excellent program. We're linked with a superior school of dentistry." Dr. Rozelle noted that this is the only link Temple School of Dentistry has and that Wilkes is fortunate to have such a program. receives about ten thousand inquiries per year. About 1800 applications yearly arrive at the admissions office, which is a 35 % increase in applications received over the past four or five years. Of these applications, about 80-90 % students are accepted to the college. Dean Wuori feels this is a good percentage for a middle-selective or moderately competitive institu~ tions like Wilkes. The college bases the decision to accept a student on four factors; the two SAT scores, class rank and G.P.A. in Math and English courses in high school. Although there is no designated cut-off point in any of these categories, the admissions office has a general idea in which range a student's scores are low enough to indicate that he or she will not do well academically at Wilkes. Once the acceptances are sent out to applicants, tuition deposits serve as an indicator of the number of prospective new students. However, the number of ne~ students that actually register is considered a more accurate in- Wilkes senior Wins N.E. Pa. Pageant by Tom Jordan Last Sunday, October 25, Wend y Weir, a se nior psychology / sociology major at Wilkes, was named Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania in the Miss Northeastern Penns ylvania Pageant held at the Center for the Performing Arts. The Pageant is a scholarship contest which has been in existence since 1975. The winners of each of the local pageants will compete in the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant, and the winner of this will enter the Miss America Pageant . When the competition started in August there were 20 girls entered; the number of competitors was then narrowed down to 15 for the finals. Competitors in the Northeastern PA pageant are judged in ·swimsuit, evening gown, · and talent competitions, and are interviewed individually by judges. Weir stated that "the talent contest was worth 50 percent of the scoring and the judges interview was worth 35 percent." Elizabeth Ward, Miss America of 1982, provided part of the entertainment at the pageant. Weir said she entered the Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania pageant "because of the scholar- ship program ." In the future she plans "to do graduate work and go to law school." The 22 year old Dallas resident said after winning, "I was thrilled and couldn't believe it." Weir has been a ballet dancer for 15 years and danced the Black Swan Variation from Swan Lake in the pageant. She lived in New York City for two years and worked for two major ballet companies there. She is now modeling for the Tom Musto Studio to help pay for the costs of the pageant. After graduation in May, Weir plans to take a year off before applying to law schools. ct1cator. According to Dr. Wuori, about 50 % of those accepted will actually enroll at the college. The increase in inquiries and applications reflect the activity of the admissions office. Until the 1970's, the function of an admissions office was primarily to screen applicants. However, with the decline in number of students applying to college, it has become necessary to add recruitment to the activities of the office. Dean Wuori and the admissions office at Wilkes have broadened the geographical bases of recruitment to attract more students here. According to Dr. Wuori, they have been met with "tremendous reception ." He feels that the guidance counselors of the high schools have been "very interested and enthusiastic." The high school guidance counse1ors inform students in their schools of the programs offered at Wilkes. The students must then take the initiative to contact the admissions office. At this point, the admissions office responds to the inquiry of the student, with the ultimate goal of bringing the student to the Wilkes campus. It is here that Dr. Wuori feels "the college sells itself." According to the Dean, about 1500 interviews· a year are conducted, which he feels is a high percentage. He attributes this high percentage to the "support of the faculty and administration for the activities of the admissions office." Dr. Wuori stresses that recruiting and attracting students is a "campus-wide effort," and that it is well supported at Wilkes. If the five per cent increase in the size of this year's freshman class is any indication, Dr. Wuori's assessment of the success of his offfice's activity is not groundless. �Page 2, The Beacon, November 6, 1981 Dr. Hammer To Attend Foreign Policy Conjerence by Amy Elias Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Wilkes College Department of Education, has been invited by the U.S. Secretary of State to attend a three-day foreign policy conference for leaders in teacher education on November 20 through 22. The conference, which will be held in Washington, D.C., is cosponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and the International- Council on Education for Teaching. The purpose of the conference is to "provide administrators, faculty and students in schools, colleges, and departments of education with strategies for participation in international education, based on a recent national survey of AACTE institutions," according to the conference schedule. The program will include a oneday review of U.S. foreign policy, which will "provide an opportuni- ty to hear and question the senior officers of the Department of State'' and· other Departments of education, _plenary sessions by nationally reknowned scholars on various topics, and fourteen small group wo_rkshops which will explore "practical approaches" to Exchange Programs, International Student Teaching and Experience, Cross Cultural Communications, and other · areas of concern to educators. IRHC Hall Presidents' Council Established by Donna Nitka IRHC president Bill Lourie has formed a new council that he feels will supplement the serviC416 provided by IRHC: the Hall Presidents' Council. While IRHC deals with such areas as maintenance and food, the Hall Presidents' Council will deal directly with the residence halls and will concentrate on hall fimctions. The Council, which is comprised of all the residence hall presidents, is divided into two specific committees: Inter-Hall Activities and Hall Government. Functions of the Inter-Hall Ac- tivities include developing brother/ sister relationships between the residence halls, organizing inter-hall competitions, e~couraging halls to do some type of charity work, and aiding halls in fund raising. The purpose of the Hall Government committee is to formulate a constitution-type document which will define the duties of hall officers and fo rmalize the election process. Lourie st resse d t h a t t h e residence hall presidents are leaders. He feels that students should expect their hall presidents to take the initiative and to make them proud of their hall. He feels that, as a council, the hall presidents will be valuable asset to the residence ·hall family. Lourie met with the hall presidents earlier this semester. It was during this meeting that the hall presidents decided that they wanted to establish a council. The Hall Presidents' Council meets mo.nthly. During its last meeting the council decided that it would elect a director, assistant director, recording secretary and corresponding secretary. The officers will be elected at a future meeting.

Thank you, CircleK Give Blood-lt Gives Life Today is Blood Donor Day at Wilkes. From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the gym, all students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to donate blood. But how many will actually give blood? Judging from the statistics in past years, not many are willing to donate their blood. Out of approximately 2000 students and 200 faculty, only about 250 donate blood. Last year at one of the donor days, only three faculty members gave blood. Those who don't give blood will quickly find some excuse, and a few will actually have a legitimate reason. But many more offer excuses that show them to be selfish and uncaring. One of the most frequently given excuses is lack of time. -However, giving blood is not a time-consuming process. It only takes half an hour to 45 minutes, depending on how many people are waiting. Usually, blood donor day is on a Thursday so that people may take advantage of the two hour activity period. This year, however, due to scheduling conflicts in the gym, the day to donate blood is a Friday. This might make it a little more difficult to find time to give blood, but it is still not impossible. Almost everyone has at least on hour free from 10-4, and one hour is sufficient to give blood. Another excuse is fear, one which few may admit openly, but which is still prevalent. Some people mistakenly believe that giving blood is a painful process. It is true that a person giving blood will not be unaware of the moment the nurse puts the needle in his or her arm, but this could hardly be described as painful. Just about any reason anyone gives for refusing to donate blood, other than health reasons, is a selfish one. Lack of time is seldom a legitimate excuse. If you really want to give blood, you will be able to find the time . You often spend time doing things that are unproductive. The half hour you spend giving blood will probably be the most productive 30 minutes you have spent in months. Fear of discomfort is inexcusable. How insignificant is one's discomfort compared to the great service one is doing for the community. But if you still need selfish reasons to give blood, prizes for the dorm and organization with the highest percentage of donors will be awarded. If you still are thinking, what's in it for me? the answer is simple - nothing, except the personal satisfaction from doing something that will benefit a needy person. BEACON 0//ice,.

( �Page 4, The Beacon, November 6, 1981 1981 Wilkes Homecoming Stirs Enthusiasm ; by Mary Kay Pogar The f!omecoming activities began this year, as in other years, with the traditional Thursday night bonfire at Ralston Field. And, as usual, the Homecoming queen and her court were named at the bonfire. But this year, a new feature was added: a Homecoming king and court were elected this year, and they, too were named at the bonfire. Tom Rooney and Chris Fellin acted as MC's for the lively bonfire undergone hip replacement surgery this summer and had not been able to perform the cheer until recently. The now traditional pie-in-theface-of-the-SG-pre sident was enhanced this year by the involvement of the presidents of CC and IRHC. Tom Rooney posed several questions to the three presidents, which, if answered correctly, would save them from receiving the pie in the face. Unfortunately, they missed the question concerning the number of miles on Dean Hoover's car by eight-tenths of a mile. CC president Joe Knox and SC president Ana Nunez resigned . themselves to their fate, and allowed Rob Wallace and Tom Farley to hit them with a pie. IRHC president Bill Lourie ducked, causing Tom Rooney to get a share of the pie, courtesy of Bob Lashock. A new feature of the bonfire program was a banana - peeling act, performed by Elaine Kerchusky, Stacy Keeley and Ruth McDermott, among others. A rather unusual act, it featured the above-mentioned performers peeling bananas to strip-tease music, and throwing the skins out to the audience. The audience appeared program. They kept the program moving smoothly, while adding their personal touch to the event. A visit from the Great Pumpkin (Dan Batzel) early in the program helped stir up enthusiasm and prepared the crowd for the introduction of members of the fall sports teams. Dean Ralston did his traditional "Go Wilkes!" cheer, not just once, but twice. For most of the freshmen, this was their first opportunity to see Dean Ralston's famous cheer, since the dean had QUEEN AND HER COURT - Dina Wasilewski shows surprise and excitement upon lilfl.rning of her election as Homecoming queen.

The title of queen went to Dina Wasilewski, and that of king went to Tom Rooney. Each was crowned and given a scepter by President Capin. The princesses were Roya Fahmy and Maureen Conolly, and the princes were Mark Baretella and Mike Azure. Friday night, members of the Alumni Association judged the residence hall and organization displays, which had either a Halloween theme or a defeat-the- Bluejays the~e. The results, as announced at halftime on Saturday at the football game, were as follows: Best Dorm ~isplay went to Weiss Hall, with the theme, "We've Got the spirit to spook the Jays"; Best Organization Display went to CC, with the theme, "Colonels Go Ape over Bluejays"; and Best Overall Display was awarded to M.E .N.C., with the theme, "Beat the Jays til they sing the blues."

Also on Friday night, the annual Homecoming dinner-dance was held, this year at Gus Genetti's. As in other years, tickets to the event were sold out in the middle of the week. The band, "Something Else," played a variety of Top 40 and rock songs. The Homecoming parade on Saturday started in front of the Stark Learning Center, and was led by Deans George Ralston and Art Hoover carrying the Alumni Association banner. Some of the units in the parade were the Wilkes College ROTC, the Irem Motor Corps, the G.A .R. and Wyoming Valley West high schools' marching bands, and the Wilkes College strutters and majorettes. The king, queen, princes, and princesses brought up the rear of the parade, riding in antique cars.

The Halloween / Homecoming party held in the gym on Saturday night was well attended. The .prize for the best costume went to Tom Butcher, who dressed in a punk rock outfit. The Homecoming activities winded down on Sunday. A pumpkin design contest was judged in the CPA, and the thriller, "Terror Train" was shown twice, once in the afternoon and once in the evening.

President Ana Nunez stated that the fund was proposed and was then made into a separate account. The purpose of ICCF is to fund money for any college organization to attend a convention. However, there are some new stipulations recently proposed · which in Nunez's opinion are necessary in order to use the money for the benefit of everyone." In other words, the fund should follow certain rules to be fair to all organizations and to insure that the money from the account is well spent. The main objection concerning ICCF brought up at the meeting was the addition of t~ rule stating, "For a convention a club, council, or organization may obtain $25 per person for up to seven people from ICCF. If, under extenuating circumstances, more money is requested, SG ~ay pay 30 per cent of the total cost for five people. " Many SG members, approving the new stipulation at past SG meetings, voted in opposition last Monday night. The vote to insert this rule in the SG amendment failed 5-17-0. More discussion and possible new proposals on the ICCF rule are planned . In other business, three fund requests were passed unanimously by the SG body. SG granted Friends Forever $200 to sponsor a party for the children participating in their program . The Barbell Club's request for $127 was passed for renovation of the Pickering Hall weight room. SG also passed the Hockey Club's request of $1,000 for the team's budget. Also at the meeting nominations were held for the position of SG Vice-President. The SG members who accepted their nominations were Elaine Kerchusky, Joanne _Rice, and Melissa Monahan. Elections for the position will be held at the next meeting. Under the Academic Committee report, Keith Sands, chairman of the committee,received a vote of confidence to adopt the option that students on academic proba- tion may attend Wilkes College summer school in order to raise their cumulative averages . A roller skating party, sponsored by SG, is planned for Thursday, Nov . 12. Publicity will be placed around campus concerning the details. Also, th e "Almost Anything Goes" competition was announced by Lisa Howes. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14 and applications are available from any RA. The money raised will be donated to the United Way. IRHC Planning 'Friday The Thirteenth' Party by Donna Nitka IRHC president Bill Lourie announced at Sunday's meeting that IRHC is sponsoring a Student Center party on Friday, November 13. The theme of the party will be "Friday 13." More details about the party will be available later. Human Services Committee cochairperson Chris Lain again reminded everyone of the Blood Donor Day which is to be held today, Friday, November 6, in the gym from 10-4. She noted that the blood level in this area is critical and that student donors are urgently needed. She also reminded everyo ne that prizes will be awarded for both the residence hall and club with the highest percentage of donors. In other business, Lourie congratulated the winners of the SG fence - painting contest. The first prize went to the Psychology Club. McClintock Hall received second and Student Government was awarded third prize. The entries were judged on novelty and creativi ty. Lo urie also congratulated the winners of the Homecoming display judging. Weiss Hall was chosen as the residence hall with the best dorm display, with the prize fo r the best organizational display going to Commuter Council. IRHC advisor Paul Adams reminded residence hall students that the halls will close at noon on November 25 for Thanksgiving Break. He stated that students wishing to remain on campus during break must submit a written request to the Housing Office by Wednesday, November 18. He noted that Pickering Hall will remain open over break for men and Chapman Hall will remain open for women . The halls will reopen at noon on Sunday, November 29 .

One may ask, how can a football defeat by 33 points be considered aheartbreaker? Isn't such a description reserved for superclose, down-to-the-wire defeats? Of course. This is a special situation, however. The loss to the Bluejays made it 7 in a row for the Colonels, the longest losing streak in Wilkes history. It was the worse start ever for the Blue and Gold. The glum truth of the matter is that the Colonels showed a lot of heart. It was sad they lost, It was "heartbreaking." Consider, once again, the situation this year. The team gets beaten by such wide margins week after week. Coach Schmidt would willingly take the blame for such a bad season rather than have the players criticized. He's taken a lot of criticism, in and out of the press. There are probably a lot of people who would really want Schmidt to resign, to move over for some "new blood." If he ever did , he would be leaving on an incredibly sour note. People close to Schmidt probably think he will leave his position, but nobody really knows what Rollie thinks, or at least, they aren't saying anthing. There's a lot of irony to the situation. If he stays with the Colonels, he'll still take the blame for losing seasons. It seems he won't be recognized as a football legend until he is, in fact, a legend. A memory. (.!uestions must be asked. One week, Coach Schmidt was asked how things could be turned around for the better this season. He replied, "There are no magic solutions." If any solutions are to be found, however, the situation must be investigated a little further . Either the players, the coaches, or the administration are not capable enough or willing enough to develop a strong football program. Earlier this season, one player said, "We've got to learn to win. Losing we're used to; it's no problem ." Last week, the Colonels came closer than ever to. victory. The final score doesn't prove this in any respect, but Wilkes did get to have-the lead for once. A player mentioned that the Colonels came into the second half against Johns Hopkins "flat." He mentioned that there was a lack of enthusiastic team leadership. In other words, the team just wasn't "up" in the second half. A Colonel alumnus had this to say: "There's no team there; everybody plays for themselves." He said the blame was virtually 50-50. The players have a bad attitude, the coaches use no discipline. "It's just that he's (Schmidt) too lenient. He doesn't yell or scream . He knows his stuff, there's no question about it. He just doesn't discipline the team. " Whether the situation now is any different remains a question, but as for discipline, Lukas explained, "We assume they're here because they want to be here. We treat them as human beings, we expect them to respond as human beings. " Does the team lack peer motivation and leadership? The coaches don't think so. "This is the best leadership we've had here as long as I can remember," Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas said. "Our kids don't say quit," Coach Schmidt explained. "Our guys will fight you right down to the last breath." Also earlier in the season, a player explained the Wilkes coaching wasn't too enthusiastic. Their ability was not the problem, but football is an emotional game. Perhaps the player felt the coaches were too businesslike. The situation cannot be ignored; it must be dealt with. Wilkes is not the only team having a lousy year . Tonight the Colonels take on FDU Madison, 0-7. It'll be the battle of the losing teams tonight under the lights of F.D .U. Both teams are really going to want to win. In a losing situation such as the one Wilkes College is experiencing this year, it is difficult to get every side of the story, or to determine what is valid, and what isn't. Hopefully, the information here will help bring some possible problems or deficiencies into the open .

When asked whether or not he would ever give up running, he explained that the only thing that comes before running are his studies, but "111 continue running until the grave. Then, 111 probably still be kicking!" Ken jokingly explained. Ken was "ecstatic" about being selected Athlete of the Week, especially after running his last regular season race on Homecoming Saturday. "I'm glad to get it now," he explained. "It's my fourth year here. It had to come to me sooner or later, I suppose." Ken is a good-natured guy with a great sense of humor; he's just easy to get along with . A two-time MVP in his previous years at Wilkes, Ken will surely be missed by his team and coach after graduation.

For four years, Ken has been a standout of the Wilkes College harriers, yet he has never been selected as the week's top athlete. A first-place finish with a time of 26:30 against Baptist Bible and a second-place finish against the University of Scranton last week are two typical examples of Ken's ability. His time against Scranton was26:33. "It's long deserved," Coach Bart Bellairs said. "Kenny's done just a super upball year, and he's been an inspiration to me." Ken is a senior, so Bart Bellairs will have to do without Pascoe's team leadership next year, but the coach knows that Ken will always be a special friend. "Everybody looks up to him," freshman harrier Bill Wolf explained. "He makes practices really relaxed and doesn't make you feel like a freshman. He knows you're an important part of the team ." Aside from being an exceptional team leader for such a young team, Ken, as mentioned before, is also an excellent competitor. "If we have to beat somebody, he11 give everything he's got to beat the guys," Wolf explained. "He's never been selfish at all," Bellairs said. "He believes in the program. Kenny deserved to be Athlete of the Week about six times." A Business Administration major from Nanticoke, Ken is currently taking 18 credits in addition to a part-time job. He's currently running about eighty miles a week in . posed of mostly underclassmen, the Colonels figured to be in a rebuilding year. Through their first 12 games the Colonels have scored only six goals, and to be quite honest, have not really been in one of the 12 games. Obviously, the lack of a offense has certainly hurt, but probably more detrimental is the lack of depth on the squad. Most opponents have more players on their benches than Wilkes has on its team.

"THE GAME" against Scranton was for all of the marbles, and on this day the blue and gold pro~ed more valuable than the purple and white. To the victor would go the spoils and a berth in the MAC playoffs, and to the loser dreams of next year. Well, true to form the Lady Colonels came through in the clutch and held on for a 1-0 victory on a goal by Debbie Cometa who was assisted by Karen Johnson. The victory was ,needless to say, very satisfying to the team , but it also gave them a .500 record and in a way made up for the "up and down" season . It also showed their heart and puts them on a high for the upcoming tournament. The first opponent for the Lady Colonels will be the Southwest Division winners Franklin and Marshall at an as yet undecided site on November 9. The competition will be tough, fo r Franklin and Marshall has an 8-5-1 record and is ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III ratings . However, the ladies have been a clutch team, and they have also been giant killers on several occasions so .far this season. The winner will face the victor of the Gettys burg/ Muhlenburg matchup also scheduled on November 9. Thesecond game will be played on November 11. During the MAC playoffs, the Lady Colonels will be looking to junior co-captain Diane Hall to score the clutch goals. For the past three seasons she has been the leading scorer for the ladies . In 1981 she has scored 9 goals a nd has added 3 assists for a total of 12. Following her is another junior Michelle Weiss who had 8 points on 4 goals and 4 assists. The rise to success of the women's volleyball team is very similar to that of cross country except for the fact that the ladies have improved upon the record of their predecessors. In 1980 the blue and gold wen~ 11-8 and qualified, for the first time, for MAC post-season play. This season the wDmen are 12-4 and at one point had a ten game winning streak, On October 28 the team faced a tough Bucknell team in a match played at the Wilkes gym.

Plans Career Day A Career Day for Junior and Senior Nursing students will be sponsored by Wilkes College on Monday, November 16, at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . . The recruiting program hours are set for 10 a.m. to 12 noon. In addition to Wilkes students, students from Luzerne County Community College, College Misericordia, and Marywood College will be invited to attend . Representatives from nineteen Pennsylvania and eleven out-of-state hospitals and organizations will be present to discuss employment and graduate school opportunities. Information which w ill be available will be geared toward helping the nursing student to clarify and achieve career goals. Here, George Wolak, vice-president, Mark Morgan, treasurer, Mrs. Rosalie Gulla, faculty adviser, Gary Deeb, president and Karen Holmer, secretary, all officers of the Nursing Student Organization, prepare for the career day . by Mary Kay Pogar Peer counseling, a service for Wilkes students, will soon be established at the college by Student Government. The program will begin next semester, but it will not be in its final stages untiJ next year. The idea for creating this service was conceived by SC President Ana Nunez. She originally started a peer counseling program in high school when she was student council president, and felt that the same type of service was needed at Wilkes. She noted, • that when COPUS ran a financial aid peer counseling program, many students went to this organization with academic problems. This indicated that a service that would provide academic and social counseling would be welcomed . Although applications for peer counselors are not yet due, early response to the service has been good. According to Cindy Bonham, Chairperson of the Peer Counseling program, "The deans think it's great and the Student Affairs Council has been very sup- portive." Nunez also pointed out, "A lot of students have already come to me asking how they can get involved, or just telling me they think it's a good idea ." For those wishing to become peer counselors, the process is not difficult. First, a student must obtain a peer counseling application, on which he indicates his reasons for wanting to become a counselor, and his qualifications for the job. The student must also provide two references for a counseling position. The applications and references are due at the Student Government office on November.16. After being submitted, the applications will then be reviewed. Of the total number of applicants, 40 will be chosen for personal interviews . An interviewing committee consisting of the student deans, Cindy Bonham and two other students will then choose 20 from the 40 interviewees to become peer counselors. Students with previous counseling experience are preferred, but any qualified student is eligible to Plans For Fiftieth Anniversary Continue by Mary Kay Pogar Plans for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Bucknell University Junior College, now Wilkes College, are continuing, and already steps have been taken to make the 1982-83 anniversary yea r a memorable one. Every department in the college will be involved in the celebration, and each will sponsor certain activities to mark the historic occasion. Although many of their plans are still in the early stages, some departments have already indicated what events can be expected next year. Various symposia and exhibitions are planned, Inside Newly-Elected SG Officers p. 3 CC President p. 5 Football Team Loses Again p.8 and several exchange programs with Bucknell University have been suggested. Symposia in health, education, business and chemistry are all being planned in the respective departments. Both Dr. William Sterling and Mr. Jay Siegfried have suggested holding exchange programs with Bucknell. Art department chair- man Dr. Sterling plans a faculty art exchange, which would feature a joint show involving the faculty of both schools. Mr. Siegfried of the theatre department has stated that a co-operative exhibit of scene designs from the schools could be arranged. He has also proposed that a special anniversary theatre production be considered. Since Course Introduces Film Theory by John Finn "The Art of the Film ," a new topics course intended to be a general introduction to film theory and aesthetics techniques, is being offered for the Spring semester by the Department of Language and Literature. The course, listed as Communications 298A, will be team taught and will consist of a W_!lekly program of a movie screening and lectures dealing with diverse aspects of film. Dr. Norina Schulman, Dr. Alan Stoekl, and Dr . Michael O'Neill will teach the course. Films already selected for examination include Birth of a Nation, Citizen Kane, The Big Sleep, Bonnie and Clyde, and Psycho. The team teaching will allow films to be examined from several angles: technical aspects such as editing, framing, screenplay, acting, sound, etc.; contextual aspects such as characterization or symbolism; philosophical or sociological aspects. The course schedule now includes a Monday and Wednesday lecture from 12 to 1 :00 and a Friday screening from 12:00-2:00. Some of the films in the course will be shown in conjunction with the Manuscript film series. If this course is successful, the Department of Language and Literature may consider a four semester sequence of courses in film. The courses would include the same introductory course, two courses on the history of Film, and one additional topics course that would change a; cording to interest . "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" was the first production in 1948, this p1ay may be consid.ered. A celebration of the anniversary in music may also be feasible. Dr. Terrance Anderson, chairman of the music department, has stated that there is a possibility of commissioning a work by a prominent American composer. This work would premier at the college with chorus and orchestra. Students will also be actively involved in the anniversary celebration according to SC president Ana Nunez. A joint SC meeting with Wilkes and Bucknell is a possibility, and parties with an anniversary theme could be held . A formal ball for May of 1983 which would involve students has also been suggested . . Publicity for the anniversary year has already begun . A logo commemorating the event is already in use and will be used on s.tationery, badges and pins in the near future . The logo is the window of learning, and has the theme of 50 years, 1933-1983 incorporated into the design. Plans for the anniversary celebration will continue throughout the year. At this point, ideas have been proposed and approved, and chairpersons of the various committees are working on the details of the plans. apply . In some instances, those without experience In the area may even be preferred, since some students with previous experience may be over-confident and may over-step their limitations, according to Nunez. After the peer counselors are chosen, they will attend training 'sessions with the Mental Health / Mental Retardation Service, to learn ways to help people deal with stress, academic prob· !ems, and social problems. In addition, student government members will meet with the counselors to inform them of services available at the college. SC also plans continued training throughout a counselor's tenure, through seminars with community agencies and through discussion sessions with other peer counselors. Because of this contact with a variety of agencies, a peer counselor will be able to refer students to the agency, and will be able to personally introduce the student to someone at the agency. This will make the student's contact with the agency more personal. Both Bonham and Nunez see the primary function of the peer counselor as listening to the problems of a student objectively. The counselor will not offer advice, but will usually refer the student to an agency or person who is better qualified to deal with that particular problem. The purpose of the peer counseling program is not to replace the services already existing, but to augment them. The counselors will be available for students who do not wish to approach the deans, or who are not sure where to go for help. All contact with the peer counselor will be kept in strictest confidence. Since the service is still in its early stages, not all the Peer Counseling details have been worked out . However, Nunez stated that "it has a high priority in SC. " By next year, the program is expected to be in operation in its final state. It is only then that an assessment of the success of the program can be made. BATON ROUGE , La. - The first U.S. chess champion, Paul Morphy, had such a remarkable memory that he could recite the text of Louisiana's civil code. He passed the Louisiana bar exam at age 19, became the youngest world chess champion at 21 and retired three years later for lack of competitors.

They are illegal because they are made to look like something they are-not, and there's a federal law against that. U.S. marshals at the request of the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Justice - recently seized so-called "look-a-like" drugs at nine manufacturers in various parts of this country, netting about 15 million filled capsules and manufactured tablets and more than 20 million empty capsules imprinted with counterfeit markings. The marshals also seized machinery used ' in the manufacture of the counterfeits, including punches, dies, imprinters and presses, valued at more than $1 million. FDA also has received Science Teachers by Marian T. Koviack More than 40 elementary school science teachers from throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania are attending a special Teacher Development Program in Science at Wilkes College. The program opened this summer with a session which was held from August 17 to 21. After orientation, the teachers participated in a week of activities. Local communities were used so that the teachers could also use the resources and schedule field trips with their classes. The group visited the nuclear power plant in Berwick, a coal mine in Scranton, a windmill near Hazleton and the historic coal mining village at Eckley. The teachers also received takehome materials such as filmstrips, tapes, cassettes and ditto masters. These are to be used in the classroom to illustrate scientific concepts. During the fall and spring semesters, classes are being held at the college on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m . Dr . Joseph T . Bellucci of the Education Department is directing the program , which focuses on two critical issues in science: energy and pollution . The program staff includes Dr. Ralph Rozelle of the Chemistry Department, Dr. Louis Rigley from the Biology Department, Mr . Francis Salley in the Chemistry Department, and Mr. Walter Placek from the Physics Department . The tuition-free program is possible because of a combined grant from the U.S . Department of Education and the National Science Foundation . The objectives of the program are threefold: · to improve the elementary school teachers' knowledge of the scientific subject matter, to help teachers in identifying and using local resources which will aid in the teaching of science, and to develop and maintain communication and cooperation between scientists at the college and teachers in the elementary schools. A total of nine giaduate credits will be awarded for participation in the summer, fall and spring sessions.

The counterfeiters also make pills that look like "downers." That's the street name for legal prescription sedatives such as Quaalude-300 or potent narcotic analygesics like Dilaudid. The real things are often abused through illegal sale and use. FDA can only police counterfeit manufacture through its seizure mechanism , but the agency also is cooperating with states in enacting legislation banning the distribution of the counterfeit drugs. A recent count found that 13 states had enacted such legislation. In addition to the illegalities and dangers, FDA sees these problems posed by the counterfeit drug products: 1.They induce school children and others who do not usually abuse drugs to do so . 2. They counteract drug abuse educational programs by fostering the false notion that these products are legal and safe. 3. They give the false impression that real amphetamines, diet pills, etc ., are not as potent and dangerous as they really are. The cheap imitations confound federal Drug Enforcement Administration and police efforts to deal with real drugs of abuse. · For more i:nformation about Look-alike Drugs, contact your nearest Consumer Affairs Officer, Theresa A.

Under the present system, if a commuter is judged eligible and receives a parking permit during the first semester, he is issued the permit for the entire year. If individuals' schedules or circumstances change after the first semester, and they are no longer eligible, the council has no system for reviewing those cases and re- issuing the permits to another commuter for the second semester. The council is considering a system that will allow review of all permits and new applications after each semester. To further improve commuter parking conditions, the council has approached Wilkes-Barre City officials with a proposal to have the parking meters near campus adjusted to allow a maximum parking time of four hours instead of the present two hours. The price would increase accordingly.

One of the prime reasons the group made the trip was to study migrating waterfowl and seaside ecology. Some of the waterfowl the students observed were snow geese, Canadian geese, and varieties of herons and egrets, some of which even Dr. Houseknecht had never before seen. Other interesting sightings included several Sika deer, a breed of small Japanese elk transplanted to America in the 1920's, and two Delmarva fox squirrels, members of an endangered species, which are approximately two-and-a-half time the size of our common grey squirrel. Of course, there also were the ponies. Prior to the Chincoteague trip, the group had attended a lecture by Dr. R. Keiper, a biologist who specializes in the Chincoteague pony. Knowledge obtained from Dr. Keiper's lecture allowed the students to view the ponies as subjects of biological importance, and not just as tourist attractions. / The careful attention paid to the scientific applications of the trip did not detract from the students' enjoyment. Dr. Houseknecht stated that the relaxing atmosphere, beautiful weather, and terrific seafood were among the trip's high points, and indicated that for the participants in the excursion, fall break '81 was a time well spent.

R. Houseknecht, drove to Virginia in search of "a profitable and enjoyable way to spend vacation." They found this in Chincoteague and Assateague. Assateague is an island off the coast of Maryland; Chincoteague is an islet nearby in Virginia. Most people go to the area for Pony Penning Day, where the famous Chincoteague ponies are rounded up. The Biology Club, however, had other ideas. Though the trip was to be fun, its focus was scientific, and while the students visited the area, they also studied it.

Thanks to your help . the Red Cross received 280 pints of blood out of 320 donors, making this the most successful Blood Donor Day ever. I would like to take this opportunity to show my deep appreciation to everyone that made this day very special. First of all, I would like to thank Janet Sharkey and Mario Silvestri, my co- chairman's for the Blood Day, your help and support was •greatly appreciated. To the rest of the Human Services members, thanks so much for all you gave to everyone, because of all of you the day went smoothly. * Thanks goes to Commuter Council, IRHC, and Student Government for their help and cooperation in promoting and advertising the Blood Day. Especially through the efforts of Commuter Council we had a tremendous improvement in the amount of commuter donors. A few more faculty and administration even came out to support this worthy cause. Special thanks goes to Dean Ralston for all the care and enthusiasm he gives to every Blood Day. Without his help Wilkes College Blood Donor Days would probably never occur. Thanks also goes to everyone else who voluntarily gave of their time for such a worthy cause, your help will never be forgotten . And lastly I would like to thank everyone who gave up just a little of their time to give the gift of life to another. All of you made this day very special for me. A wonder. ful atmosphere of caring and giving radiated throughout the gym that day, as was evident to anyone who participated. Thanks again f_or giving a little of yourself to help someone in need. Sincerely, Chris Lain Human Serv.ices Com. Co-Chairman Students' Committment To Peer-Tutoring Apparent At October 27 Orientation To The Editor: Peer-tutoring is the most important component of the academic support services provided by the various developmental programs sponsored by Wilkes College. Its success depends upon the extent to which students are willing to share their gifts, and to spend many hours of unpaid labor preparing for tutorial sessions and developing effective tutorial skills. It was evident at the Peer-Tutor Orientation, held October 27, that the College has the potential to maintain the best possible peer- tutoring programs because its students possess the degree of commitment that this entails. We would like to thank all who attended for the high quality of their participation, and for sharing with each other and with us both their concerns and their sound and creative suggestions for improving tutorial services. Sincerely yours, The Staffs of the Act 10 I Program, the Developmental Learning Center, the Economic Opportunity Consortium, and Upward Bound College Day Care Center Deemed Necessary By Ayres To The Editor: Even before the letter below was sent to the Beacon and to the Faculty Policy Committee, President Capin approached me about establishing a Wilkes d_ay care center. Mr. Capin had given Cara's and my appeals serious consideration over the past year. What finally pushed the President toward his recent decision was the Reagan budget cuts, which have disqualified students from receiving day care aid. I have asked the Beacon to publish the letter below because it highlights some important day care issues and dramatizes the faculty's and administrations' concern for the "nontraditional" student. Sincerely, Olivia C. Ayres Faculty Policy Committee Attention: Dr. Joel Berlatslcy, Chairman Dear Committee: Last year Cara Berryman and I appealed to the Faculty Policy Committee to approach the Administration about providing space for a day care center at the college. Cara and I are appealing again for similar assistance. Why we are approaching the committee again needs some explanation. After the committee's meeting with the President, Mr. Capin was rather helpful. He contacted Mr. Bernard Hargadon, Director of the YMCA, who agreed to rent space to us. Unfortunately, we were not able either to rent the needed · space at the time nor put a deposit down for rental of the desired room. After investigating certain matters concerning liability and state certification, Cara and I were finally in a position to resume nogotiations with Mr. Hargadon . Much to our dismay, Mr. Hargadon no longer had space to rent to us. Cara and I are frustrated but undaunted. We refuse to drop the matter, especially now that the College's need for day care for Football Team Responds To Reese's Comments Editor's Note: The following letter was sent to Athletic Director John Reese in regard to his comments in a local paper concerning the Wilkes football team. It was signed by the entire team, and a copy was also sent to the local paper . Dear Mr. Reese: As 2 members of the Wilkes College football team who have been with the program for 4 years, we would like to comment on your remarks made in the Friday, October 23, 1981, issue of The Times Leader. In the article, you are cited as saying the Wilkes College football team lacks numbers and quality. Let us say that you are half right. We are undoubtedly low in numbers, however, do you really think it is fair to say we are lacking in quality? Also, do you feel you are in the position to judge the quality of the team? You are not one of our coaches, you do not practice with us, and consequently, how could you judge the ability of the individual team members? Mr. Reese, we would like to know what your definition of quality is. We feel that what you are calling a lack of quality is actually a lack of experience. Presently, we have on our team 7 seniors (three of which are transfers), 7 juniors, 11 sophomores, and 22 freshmen . We think the figures speak for themselves . Initially this letter was to be signed by Mike Gould and Todd Nicholas, but as part of a team, which we consider a qualitative characteristic, we brought this matter . to the attention of our fellow teammates and they too agreed with our feelings on this subject. Therefore, we are signing this letter, Respectfully degraded, The Wilkes College football team NOTICE There will be a mandatory meeting of all students who intend to student teach during the spring semester on Wednesday, November 18, at 12:00 in room 133 of the Stark Learping Center. students, faculty, and staff is even greater for reasons that I will outline below . I would first like to reiterate some of the points that I made in our original appeal. A day care center would help in the recruiting of both faculty members and students . Certainly, the students' need for day care is much greater as a result of the Reagan Administration's budget cuts. Social Services, in particular Title XX Services, have been cut drastically. I have lost the day care aid that I had been receiving through the ' Private Provider's Project. Even more serious is that the students, who received substantial aid before, are no longer eligible under any program to receive day care aid. There are 25 students enrolled at Wilkes whom these budget cuts will affect. Obviously, it would be in the interest of the College to establish day care, since loss of day care will certainly increase the demands on students' pockets as well as their energies. Some or all students may find it necessary to drop out. Such a loss, in terms of tuition revenues, would be unfortunate. Indeed, such a loss would be morally regretable. Wilkes may be losing "nontraditional" students at a time when the college is most in need of such students. The long range planning report in particular encourages the recruitment of more "non-traditional'' and continuing education students. Wilkes' success at such recruitment will be minimal if the college does not provide services that would encourage the enrollment of these students. The establishment of day care facilities would be eminently practical in one other respect. Studies of industry and business have in- dicated that the efficency of workers rises as the morale of the workers rises. An easing of anxiety about child care would certainly raise morale of the faculty and staff at the college. I have saved what I feel is the most important issue for last . Worries about child care usually fall in the lap of the woman, either because she is a single parent, divorced or widowed, or because, traditionally, our society sees child care as the duty of the woman. Therefore, the woman's recent struggles to rise as a professional, to break into the job market, are difficult and can sometimes be thwarted by the frustrating and often unsuccessful attempt to juggle both family and work responsibilities. The College's support of day care would demonstrate a much needed sensitivity to the professional and potential professional woman's needs. "Affirmative action" in this context is a rather bloodless term, yet "affirmative action" is exactly this sensitivity. Establishing day care facilities would be in the true spirit of "affirmative action," indeed, would demonstrate the Administration's sincere commitment to all faculty, staff, and students.

Knox sees his role as president, however, •as more of a role in getting ALL students involved and getting spirit on campus. Knox says he has been working closely with Ana Nunez and Bill Lourie, presidents of SC and IRHC respectively, toward that goal. They have even put 'enthusiasm' on their agendas. The son of an Air Force man, Knox has done a lot of traveling and has lived in many places, including Germany for three years. 'Tve seen many dil'ferent student environments which range from an active student body to an inactive one," he commented. "Wilkes is borderline." Knox feels that because of his experience, he has a good outlook on the way thin.gs should be and he ha.s a strong drive to make things that way. He believes that his major in political science has given him the greatly needed knowledge of how to lead and how to organize and motivate. He says that it is his job to get more people involved and to get the ideas down, then let others develop those ideas. "T he freshmen are really into it," he said with a spirited, broad smile. 'Tm really excited about how enthusiastic they are! " He mentioned, as an example, a freshman who gave an unexpected detailed and zealous report when asked to find out some basic information. "I want to get people to lose their inhibitions and become in- Commuter Council president Joe Knox sits at his desk in the CC office on the front of which hangs a poster with the Council's mott~: "Go for it!" volved," he said with determination. "I believe this would bring the college closer together. " He said it is easier for dormitory students to get involved in the activities than commuter students because the activities are happening all around the dorm students. Commuters have to make special trips back to the campus or have .to stay someplace on campus after their classes until the activities begin . Knox feels that since it is more difficult for commuters to become involved, they need to become more enthusiastic. Knox said that he has been active as much as possible. He said that his involvement with COPUS served as a strong personal developer, especially in areas of advocacy, student leadership, and government. He mentioned that COPUS deals with legislation which is vital to the future of, students, but that this legislation • seemed removed from the campus and it was hard to motivate people. He feels that Commuter Council provides him with the opportunity to work more closely with people and to offer more activities. . · Commuter Council, under his direction, is working on many activities this year. Knox said that the Council organized early and now everything is set up. "We've accomplished quite a bit already," he said. Knox feels that the major concern of the Council is the parking problem. He feels that it is a year-long project rather than a beginning-of-the-year-only project.

Jobs Hard TO Fiod College Students Avoid Today's Teaching Field graduate studies ful!time, fourteen are employed as teachers or in related work, and the remaining three are unaccounted for. Current demand is strong in the areas of secondary English, science, social studies, mathematics and business education. A growing demand for early childhood and elementary teachers is expected in the next several years. Reports from various parts of the country indicate a change in the teaching field. College students in the 1970's stayed away from teaching preparation in large numbers. Teachers were a glut on the market; jobs almost impossible to find. Several factors are indicating a "turn-around" in the field. One of these is fewer people entering the profession. The number of students prepared to teach has dropped noticeably. Second, many teachers are opting for early retirement . Third, many teachers are changing fields after ten to fifteen years in teaching . Population growth in some sections of the country is another contributing factor to the turn around. For the more worldly, the job market for teachers is unlimited in Africa, Asia and South America (for those who are prepared). Many college students may wonder about the requirements for becoming a teacher, the job prospects and the role of the teacher in elementary, secondary, adult and post secondary education . Questions may also exist about working with young people and the satisfaction which may come from the teaching profession. Wilkes students should talk to any Education Department faculty member about some of these matters. Also, the course Introduction to Education (Ed. 201) deals with many of these concerns . It also makes provisions for the college student to have a field experience in a public or private school at the grade level of his / her interest. · Of last year's twenty education graduates, three are pursuing Philharmonic Holds ''Sonic Spectacular'' "Sonic Spectacular," an all- Russian, all-orchestral evening of musical fireworks, is the next event in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic 's "Season of Celebration." Music director Hugh Wolff and the orchestra will present one of the most challenging and exciting programs in the Philharmonic's ten-year history on Saturday, Nov . 21 at 8:30 at the Irem Temple, Wilkes-Barre . The Philharmonics gifted principal musicians will be featured in performances of Stravinsky's colorful Petrouchka, the brilliant ballet of puppets come to life during a Russian street fair, and Tchaikovsky's immortal Symphony No. 5, full of the lush melodies for which the great composer is famous and beloved. Music director Hugh Wolff points out that "Sonic Spectacular" was originally scheduled for performance Jan. 29 and 30, and the Philharmonic 's "Pennsylvania Tricentennial Celebration" in 1· '"~:---1i ._ .1 9 W. Northampton St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18701 BoutiqueeJewelryectothes Layaway Avallable We Accept Master Charge & Visa by Lisa Cobb The Wilkes College Football Band has been a tradition for at least twenty years, according to Jerome Campbell, Band Director. In fact, the tradition is one which most other Division III colleges do not share. Wilkes has one of the few bands that are active in our conference. Most of the other bands are comprised of only a few musicians who get together to play. The Wilkes Band is a well-organized and rehearsed unit. Our band is also the only band that travels with the team . Campbell cited one away game last year which the Wilkes Band attended yet which the home school's band did not attend because of snow. Although the band attends away games, it receives no funding and wears no uniforms. The students who participate in the band make many sacrifices, Campbell emphasized. They are students who could easily use their talents on Saturday nights to earn money by performing. Although the fifty-five member band has a few members who are not music majors, most of the participants are music majors who are really interested in more serious music. 1 DECKOU R'S BEER Across from Bishop Hoban Ph. 822-7045 -lmportecl ...,.__ -Colcl .....Callln Advance lot Kegs and Quartets (Must hove LCB Cord) November. The programs have been reversed, Mr. Wolff indicated, with the Tricentennial concert featuring the world premiere of Richard Wargo's The River Flows rescheduled for January . Mr. Wolff emphasized, however, that no concert dates have been changed, and that season subscribers should use their November tickets in November and their January tickets in January. Tickets for "Sonic Spectacular" are available through the Philharmonic hotline. Concert hall box offices will open at 6:30 on the night of the performance, and tickets for children and full -time high school and college students are half-price. . "Actually," Campbell commented, "this is not a thing musicians do." The purpose of the band is to serve the athletic department and the school by providing pep music during the football games. Campbell noted that it's a shame that the spirit doesn't flow in reverse. These same students who sacrifice their time to prepare for the football band spend many hours also preparing for student recitals and other performances. On November 18, for example, a performance will be given by the Wilkes College Wind Ensemble which is made up of essentially the same people. The spirit the band creates at football games is readily appreciated by student fans who attend the games. These fans can enjoy the talents of band members at other times. One loyal fan of the band is Dean Hoover . When asked how he felt about the band his face glowed as he exclaimed "Super! Super! Super! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! One of the best bands I've ever heard . Wilkes College wouldn't be the same without it. Does that say it all?" That says it all. TICKER TAPE ..

On Tuesday November 3, the blue and gold were narrowly defeated 3-2 by the University of Scranton in the team's last home and regular season game. Undaunted by the loss, the woman travelled to the MAC Tournament with high expectations only to have their hopes shattered by Dickinson, Albright, and Western Maryland. The game against the Lady Royals was almost meaningless except for one thing: pride. Both teams were already ticketed to go on to the MAC's, and a win would only serve to add a bit more lustre to already gem-like records. However, the Lady Colonels wanted to revenge earlier losses at Scranton and at the East Stroudsburg Tournament. In addition, they wanted.,. to prove to Scranton and to themselves that they were the better team . Game number one was a close battle as Scranton edged Wilkes -i5-13, but in game two the Lady Colonels bolstered their own chances with a sound 15-9 victory. The momentum at this point was definitely with the women of Wilkes, _ and they prevailed in game three 15-11. This second consecutive victory all but sealed the fate of the Lady Royals . However, fate was not kind to the Lady Colonels, for the fourth game saw Scranton come out fighting . They could have rolled over and played dead, but they instead showed their mettle and fought on. Again the game was close, but the victory was destined for Scranton 15-13. The fifth game, the final, was for all of the marbles . The pressure and tension could be seen on the faces of all of the players during the game. Wilkes chose the wrong time to have a total team breakdown, and the Lady Royals took advantage and breezed to a 15-5 win and a match victory. Leading the Wilkes spikers were Jennifer Golding with 12 kills and 10 service aces, and Sally Fisher and Cathy Dudick with 12 kills apiece. The loss was a bitter one for the blue and gold, for each player had wanted this one very badly. It would have been a fitting climax to an already stellar season. The team, however, did not dwell upon the loss, and they took a 12-5 record and dreams of bigger victories with them to the MAC's at Dickinson College November 6-7. The results of the tournament were the same as last year; no match victories and disappointment. However, last year's team was wary of some of the opposing teams, but this year's squad was confident of its ability and knew that they could beat anybody . Unfortunately, everybody beat them. On the lighter side, it could be said that the team kept its overall tournament record for 1981 unblemished (0-13). So much for consistency. The game against Dickinson was a rematch. On September 29 the Lady Colonels had been victorious 3-2 in a game played at Wilkes. However, the story ended a bit differently this time. Early on the blue and gold had the upper hand, but Dickinson turned the tide . The red and white skillfully used a mixture of powerful spikes and well-placed <links to throw the opposition off-balance. The Lady Colonels never recovered and fell in two games . Much the same thin ha ened against Albright, but this time the opposition felled Wilkes by using the unexpected. Albright is a good team which uses an unorthodox style of play to find success. An opponent must be ready to receive a ball at anytime. In the first game, Albright completely baffled Wilkes, and the second game started the same way. However, the Lady Colonels came back and took it to the opposition. . They matched Albright point for point, but lost a heartbreaker 16-14 . The effort proved to be too little too late, but the tean showed that they could play the game and play it well. The match against Western Maryland was the story of David and Goliath , but with an ironic twist. In this version, the Goliath (Western Maryland) destroys the David (Wilkes). Western Maryland had won the tournament six times in a row, and they showed why by completely overwhelming the women of Wilkes. The contest was a good-natured and expedient one. The affair lasted little more than half an hour, and Western Maryland won handily 15-2 and 15-4 . On the following day, the Lady Colonels journeyed back to Wilkes with fond memories of a fine regular season, nightmares of the MAC tourney, and dreams of the success of the years to come. A small consolation was the fact that Juniata had won the tournament and had ended the reign of Western Maryland. SUPER TURF The Oklahoma Sooners began playing on a new artificial turf field in 1981.

FF====================~=========i SIDELINES by Mark James To see the pain on Gari Sosnoski's face as he was assisted off the gridiron last Friday night was a sight that exemplifies the heart put into the game of football. To see how he was injured is another story. "It looked like a deliberate attempt to put him out," Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas explained. After seeing the film, one would have to agree. For the rest of the game, FDU Madison made excellent progress running in "Sosnoski's" direction. It was probably the only way they could beat the "big man" in their first victory ever over Wilkes. Sosnoski left the game early in the first half with a sprained knee. ...••.•...•...•..................••................. The football team isn't pleased with a few comments Athletic Director John Reese made about the quality of the football team . But Reese explained, "I wasn't trying to degrade the football players or anyone at all. The thing that upset me about it was for the team to think we didn't appreciate their efforts." Reese said he wasn't really quoted correctly. what he meant was that we "don't have enough kids with the ability at that level to win." Wilkes has been losing football games because of mistakes . Fumbles, penalties, and so forth have been the Colonels' downfall week after week. Out of 22 players, the majority playing are freshmen and sophomores. That means inexperience. To put things in perspective, Reese referred to his own team. "If a team beats us, it may not be because we didn't work hard; it's just that they have more quality players." .................................................... . Wrestling captain Billy Dodge will be healthy enough to compete by the time the Wilkes Open rolls around. The sad part is that "Billy probably looked better than anyone on the team, " Coach Reese explained. "That was a really big loss for us.

Instead of settling for a first and ten from their own 20, the Wilkes gridders decided to set up for a punt return. The deep man was freshman defensive back John Seiler who leads the team in kickoff returns (20 for 344 yards), but had never returned punts for Wilkes before last Friday. Seiler got under the ball one yard in his own endzone, sprinted up field behind an excellent"\vall of blockers and rambled 56 yards before being cut off by the last man, the FDU punter, who is also quick enough to be the team's punt returner. Defensively, Seiler did a commendable job ,with one of his best efforts coming in the first half. Farley Dickinson had traveled 50 yards to the Wilkes 40. It was fourth and 15 and the Jersey Devils went for a long pass. Seiler came out of nowhere and made an excellent play, batting the ball away. For John, it was his first starting role in a Colonel uniform. He had seen playing time; his 17 .2 kick return average and one interception (against Johns Hopkins) will attest to that. Seiler had earned the position by putting an all-out effort on the practice field. "You have to earn your position around here, and he did," Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas explained. "He started off slow1y and he had the tools; it was just a matter of putting it in his head." "He's doing more for us as time . goes on," Coach Schmidt explained. "He's been so close to breaking kickoffs, he's going to be a good return kid. " John Seller When finding out that he was selected Athlete of the Week, Seiler's reaction was on the order of "Yeah, right! Get out . , .no, you're kidding me!" When it came down to his interview, all he would do was to praise his teammates and coaches, but not himself . "I think at least ten other defensive players deserve it more than I do," he pointed out . "It's all a team effort. It's not me; it's the whole team returning the punt ." He kept stressing the drive and ability of Azure, Walsh, Millisits, and Gould- and the list goes on and on. Seiler kept stressing the ability of the players and the coaches like Ed Lukas, but his most profound praise went toward Coach Schmidt himself. "I hope Coach Schmidt will be back next year . I would hate to see another coach come in and get the honors Coach Schmidt really deserves. He's taught me about a lot of things." It is obvious that John Seiler has a lot of faith in the team that keeps on trying with an 0-8 record. "In two years, mark my blood, we'll be MAC cham ions." by Ellen Van Riper The field hockey team was defeated in the first round of the MAC play-offs 5-1 by Franklin and Marshall. The lone Wilkes goal was scored by junior cocaptain Diane Hall. The first half of the game was dominated by Wilkes, with only a single goal. Late in the half, Franklin and Marshall tallied to create a tie at halftime. However, the second half was different from the first . The opposition finally overcame the stingy Lady Colonel . defense to flood the nets with four goals·in fifteen minutes . The loss ended the season for the ladies, but they still could hold their heads high. They overcame the graduation of key players, a slow start, and critical injuries to achieve a .500 season and a playoff berth . The team and especially coaches Meyers and Frail deserve all the credit in the world . Coach Meyers is extremely knowledgeable of the game, and she teaches her young players the fundamentals. In addition, she successfully altered the frontline strategy of the team when the ladies experienced a slow start offensively. The players, of course, are extremely instrumental, for they must make the plans work. The entire team contributed, but special mention must be made of Diane Hall, Michelle Weiss, Linda Dayer, and Valerie Frey. Diane and Michelle were the offensive leaders of the team. Linda switched positions to fill in for an injured Helen Gorgas and became a defensive whiz . All by herself she singlehandedly smothered scoring drives by opposing teams. Valerie Frey,as Regionals Saturday Pascoe Leads Harriers In MAC's by Mark James The Wilkes College harriers finished 12th overall in the Middle Atlantic Conference Cross Country Championships last Saturday at Memorial Lake State Park, Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa . The Colonels will be traveling back to Indiantown Gap Saturday to compete in the Eastern Regionals . Top finishers will go on to national competition . Leading the Colonels was senior Ken Pascoe who finished 23 out of 131 finishers with a time of 27:13. The next three Wilkes spots were filled by freshmen Bill Wolfe (46th-27:42), Dave Levandoski (68th-28:27), and Tom McGuire (77th-28:40). Wilkes' fifth man, Joe Dill, finished 109th in 30:22, and Andy Grant finished 126th in 32:04 . Rob Davis was hampered by an injury for several weeks prior to the race and was unable to finish. Other local teams at the competition were the University of Scranton and King's, who finished 12th and 5th in team standings respectively. Twenty teams competed, with Ursinus taking the top spot. Jim Parsons of Delaware Valley took the top individual spot in 25 minutes and 44 seconds. Francis Awanya of King's took 8th with a time of 26:15. "I just want to tell everybody I'm pleased. You're really improving," Coach Bellairs told the team after the race . Bellairs ran a few miles himself in order to cheer on and encourage the runners at certain points in the race's zig-zag First Victory Against Co lonels FDU Cap italizes On Wilkes Penalty by Mark James When theColonels from Wilkes and the Jersey Devils from Farley Dickenson lumbered onto the field last week, only one team was to leave the gridiron with that "one" victory. The loser of the clash would have to walk away from the field unvictorious in eight games . With 4:05 left in the game, the Colonels were clinging to the lead by a slim 15-14 margin. Five minutes earlier Wayne Lonstein couldn't find a receiver, but had found an open field to the endzone to make a two-point conversion successful after a 6 yard George Simms scamper . The conversion gave the Colonels the lead after relinquishing a 7-point halftime edge by allowing two fumble induced third-quarter Jersey Devil touchdowns. With the conversion, Wilkes had that long - awaited glimmer of hope. Was this to be the one? Would the Colonels finally win? No . The Devils marched right back in full control of the ball until they were halted at the Wilkes 25 yard line with a fourth and four. FDU attempted a 42-yard field goal. There was silence for a moment . It wasn't even close. Penalty. Wilkes was offside. First down. Four plays later, touchdown . A conversion attempt failed, but FDU led 20-15. Wilkes had 2:40 left to steal victory from the hands of defeat. On their next possession , the Colonels got a first down, but the next two passes fell incomplete. On third down, Tony Madden made a nice lunging catch for she was last season, was a very stingy goalkeeper. Her prowess often relieved the offense of much pressure. The highlight of the season was the game against Scranton in which the ladies prevailed 1-0 . They won and thus qualified for the MAC playoffs . By this victory the ladies showed why they are a team. In other words, a team's team. When they had to win, the women united and worked together toward a common goal. This sort of play was the key to their success. The hockey team found success this year, and in the future should find even more. Coach Meyers has a mixture of solid veteran players and promising, now seasoned, freshmen who should blend together to form another winning combination next season. eleven yards, just inches out of bounds. On fourth down, Lonstein went back to pass and was sacked . With 1: 10 left in the game, the Devils began running down the few seconds left . Wilkes 'held them , and John Seiler got his hands on the punted ball one yard deep in the Wilkes endzone. Seiler sprinted right and beat the coverage to the sideline. He sprinted downfield, cut against the grain, then was tackled by the last defender . He blitzed 56 yards on the return, but Wilkes had only 6 seconds to go 45 yards. One incomplete pass later, the game was over. SHOULDER PATS: Wilkes had a total of two penalties for ten yards, but one of those penalties lost the game. In Division III football, a 42-yard field goal is quite a feat. In hindsight, we should nave . eased up a little on the rush . Seiler's runback was great. The Colonels were stopped on the FDU one and ten yard lines in the first half. Tony Popple had a 40-yard average in 5 punts. Dave Hadley, who was redshirted earlier this season due to an injury, provided moral support for the team . Fleetfooted George Simms rushed for 71 of Wilkes' 212 total yards. Bob Hessling ran for 47 yards. Wayne Lonstein came through in several clutch situations with some powerful quarterback keepers. The defense was hurt by the loss of the big man, Carl Sosnoski, who suffered a sprained knee early in the first half . It was quite a painful injury. course. Team captain Ken Pascoe said, "I thought we did excellent. We've got a young team and the guys showed a lot of guts. I thought we had a lot to prove because we're so young." One thing proven last Saturday is that Bellairs has the makings of a very stong team. Freshmen Wolfe, Levandoski, and McGuire have the potential to become an awesome threesome in the future. Rob Davis, who ran in pain , and Andy Grant both showed a lot of determination. Ken Pascoe does a great job leading, guiding, and motivating the team . He will be running his last race as a Wilkes harrier on Saturday. Bowling News by Stephen Levitski Last week's action saw The Force steal two wins from the league-leading Aristrocrats.

Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Business Education Major Faces Possible Elimination by Donna Nitka During the past few years, the number of students declaring business education as their major has steadily decreased. According to Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Education Department, the business education program faces the possibility of elimination if the decline in interest continues. Dr. Hammer noted that, due to lack of interest, no students were accepted into the business education program this year. He added that the college will continue to offer advanced courses in that program until the present business education majors complete their studies. After the present business education majors graduate, if there has not been a marked increase in student interest in the program, advanced courses will no longer be offered at Wilkes. Dr. Hammer stated that the college cannot continue to offer the advanced courses if there are no students who are interested in taking them. Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen noted that the decline in interest shown in business education is not unique to Wilkes. Liberal arts colleges throughout the country are experiencing significant decreases in the number of business education majors. Dean Hartdagen observed that there are two basic reasons for this nationwide problem: the high cost of education at a liberal arts college,and the increased number INSIDE Friends Forever p.2 Activities Fee p.3 Almost Anything Goe• p.5 Basketball Preview p.8 / of women entering male dominated fields of study. Dean Hartdagen went on to say that he feels that the high cost of an education at a liberal arts college is the major factor contributing to the decline in business education majors. He stated that many parents and students are not willing to make the investment in a four-year college education when alternatives such as business school and two-year community college programs are available. Dean Hartdagen noted that business education has always been identified as an area for women . However, more and more women are choosing to enter into what formerly were male dominated fields of study. This is causing the business education field to suffer, because the decrease in the number of women in that area of study has not been compensated by an increase in the number of men entering that field . Both Dr. Hammer and Dean Hartdagen stated that the problems faced by the business education program are unfortunate. Dean Hartdagen noted that the college has tried to promote interest in the program . He stated that when the program began at Wilkes it was located in the Com- merce and Finance department . When student interest began to decline, the program was placed in the Education department in an effort to increase student interest. Enrollment in the program continued to decline. While student interest in the field of business education is declining, the need for teaches in that area is increasing. Dean Hartdagen stated that the college receives numerous requests each year for business education teachers. He noted that it is a field that is in great demand, yet almost no student interest is being shown.

The second way to exchange information is through participation in the NACURH national and regional conference. According to Marge LeBlanc, IRHC corresponding secretary, the purpose of the conference is to give students from the participating schools an opportunity to get to know one another and to exchange ideas. This was accomplished at the regional conference through participation in any or all of the 20 workshop sessions that were held during the conference. Sessions were conducted on a variety of topics ranging from .leadership styles to non-alcoholic programs to NACURH itself. Special sessions for R.A.'s and residence hall presidents were also held.

IRHC president Bill Lourie said that he was pleased with the delegation of Wilkes' students that attended the conference. He stated that he had wanted a wide variety of students, not just the IRHC executive council, to attend the conference. He added that he would like to have more freshmen and sophmores attend the NACURH national conference, which will be held at the University of Wisconsin at White Water in May, so that even more enthusiasm and ideas will be brought back. He noted that a student does not have to be a member of IRHC to attend the conference. NOTICE The BEACON will not be published on Friday, November 27, due to Thanksgiving Break.

Being one of four boys, I always had someone to play and go places with. Many children are not as fortunate, and they need someone to ·spend time and share activities with them . These children are the little brothers and sisters of the area who are looking for big brothers or sisters to become their friends. Timm y Ryan, the President of Wilkes' Friends Forever club, was one of the first Wilkes students to become involved with the Big Brothers association . Tim became interested, he said, when "I saw my R.A.'s little brother, and I saw how well they got along. I wanted to become a big brother." Tim got a little brother, but he also went one step further . He decided to start a big brother's club at Wilkes. When the club origirtated, there were four members with little brothers or sisters; now there are thirty-five matchups and sixty club members. Tim observed that being a big brother is "very fulfilling and rewarding when you see how the child opens up to you and grows for the better because of your influence and companionship.'' He recalled, "The first summer I went away, my little brother said that he couldn't wait for the summer to be over. I asked him why, and he said, 'Because then you'll be back, and we'll be able to do things together again.' " Stanley L. is Timmy's little brother, and he's also a familiar face at Wilkes' intramural events or in the cafeteria, where he can be seen happily joking with any of the large number of students that have become his buddy over the last two years. A fellow student once remarked, "Stanley probably knows more people here (in the cafeteria) than I do." Stanley said that he lik~ how "my big brother spends time with me, and he does things with me, like play football, that my mother or sister wouldn't want to do." He also feels that "Big Brothers has helped me meet a lot of new people and make new friends." Stanley would also like to become a big brother himself some day. Christopher B. is a nine-year-old boy who is looking for a big brother. He is an only child who lives with a single parent and his grandparents. He's 4'3" with light brown hair, and he's in the fourth grade. He's in the Cub Scouts; he plays football, baseball, and soccer, and he likes all outdoor sports, especially fishing. He lives in a nice neighborhood in Laflin, so his big brothers would need a car, which can be arranged . If you are interested in becoming Christopher's big brother, or in joining the Friends Forever club, please by contacting Tim Ryan, or one of the other officers of the club: Paul Scaliti, Greg Marshall, and Joanne Gismondi. The club needs more big brothers and sisters, but more importantly, the children of the area need more people to share their time.

The _ Student Life Committee recommended that the fee be raised a significant amount the first year and then only a small amount during the following years. If the suggestion is passed, then the exact amount will be decided later. The final decision concerning the activity fee will be made by SC . The Student Life Committee is also considering the possibility of co-funding the BEACON budget. This issue will be a topic of discussion at later meetings. Another issue mentionet1 concerned the students on academic inelligibility. The Academic Committee feels that any Wilkes student on academic inelligibility should not be allowed to attend summer school at Wilkes College in order to raise his cumulative average. Most SC members, however, felt that academically ineligible students should be able to attend summer school to help raise their averages. Keith Sands, chairman of the SC committee, received a vote of confidence to pursue SG's suggestion. The Academic Committee is also investigating a re-evalution of the criteria for Accounting internships. SC Treasurer Al Wirkman mentioned that SC is currently reviewing its budget for next year. Wirkman noted that any organization on campus that wants to be included in the SC budget for neict year must submit an itemized budget request. Forms will soon be available by Wirkman and will be due Feb. 15. In other business, SC voted to fund $25 as part of a Spirit Award being devised by the .Wilkes administration . According to SC President Ana Nunez, five anonymous administrators have donated $25 for the Spirit Award for the group showing the most enthusiasm during the men's basketball season. An anonymous panel of judges will decide who the recipients of the $50 Spirit Award will be at the end of the season. Nunez also announced the program for the Ecumenical Service which is scheduled for Sunday, Nov . 22 at 12:15 p.m. in the Stark Lobby. Cindy Bonham, chairperson of the Peer Counseling committee, mentioned that applications are still available in the SC office. Students interested in becoming peer counselors must fill out an application and return to the SC of£ice as soon as possible.

The prizes include MASH T-shirts for costume and dance contests. The party marks the tenth anniversary of MASH on T. V. The council decided Monday night not to begin review and redistribution of all commuter parking permits at the end of this semester. Proposals made last week would have allowed the council to reissue parking permits each semester in the event that a commuter who held a permit the first 205 South Main Street semester no longer qualified during the second semester. Council members said that it would not be proper to institute the program this year because per-mits were issued with the understanding that they were for both the Fall and Sprin•g semesters. The council will, however, begin planning to incorporate the revisions for next year. The Council also voted unanimously to adopt guidelines for associate memberships. Nancy Bowanko, Parliamentarian, read the proposal on which she had been working for the past few months. Discussion of the guidelines last week centered on the issue of associate members' voting privileges. The final version read this week and incorporated into the council's by-laws states, "Associate members do not have the right to vote on matters that are presented before the council, but they are encouraged to participate in the discussion of these matters."

Six teams participated in the competition, and cash prizes were awarded to the top three teams. by Doug Fahringer Six Wilkes College teams participated in the "Almost Anything Goes" competition last week for a chance to enter the college district contest in February. The competition, co-sponsored by Student Government and Pabst Brewing Company, was won by the team "Touch of Class." "Touch of Class" held the lead through most of the competition, taking first place with a score of 21 points. Second place went to "CC Six Packs" with 15 points and third went to "Panama Reds" with 13 p~ints . The other teams in competition were "Hainaluia Chorus," "Space Cadets," and "YYZ." First place finishers received $15, Pabst T-shirts, and the chance to compete at the district college level. Second place finishers received $10 and $5 went to the third-place winners. There were six events in the co_ntest and, as one of the participants said, "They were a blast! " The first event was a four-legged relay in which the team members were grouped in threes and were tied together at the ankles . They then had to run the distance of the gym court and return to tag the next threesome. The apple pass was next; the team members stood in a line and had to pass an apple~using only their necks. Another game called "Take the Plunge" required the players to hold a plunger vertically with an empty beer can and walk the length of the court. In "Thread the Needle, " team members stood in a line and had to pass a beer tap,which was attached to a string,through their clothing and then pass it back through. The flipper relay saw particip~nts running a relay race wearing flippers , and the last event, called the "Shoe Steal," had all the competing team members putting their shoes in a pile, scrambling to find their shoes, putting them on, and returning to the starting line. The events were coordinated by LOWEST PRICES!

They extend from about 1952 until the last days of his life in 1967, and reveal an artist who refused to stand still, but continued to discover and experiment. Although Zoller's career was mostly centered in Pennsylvania, his awareness and his art were cosmopolitan . He fashioned a style which was formally abstract and contemporary. Nevertheless, in mood and form, his paintings were never far from earth, sea, or air. He was essentially a landscapist, following, in modernist terms, the vene"rable Am~rican tradition of landscape painting. Whether his manner was cubistically angular or Orientally calligraphic, nature remained the source. Edwin Zoller was born in Pittsburgh in 1900. At an early age, he took a lively interest in the arts. He studied art at the University of Pittsburgh and at the Pennsylvania State University, where he received his B.A. in 1921. He continued his art studies at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh.In 1925, he spent four months in Italy, and following his marriage to Lucille Lang, he spent two years in Paris, where he painted and attended classes at l'Academie de Grande Chaumiere. After his return to America he studied with Russell Hyde at the Carnegie Institute. Always a loner and an individualist in his art, he followed no trend or school. He was, however, influenced by several painters, past and contemporary. He greatly admired Leonardo's work in all its aspects, and read and studied with great absorption his notebooks. Am ong the moderns, he was deeply interested in the ideas of the painting of Cezanne and in the cubist theories of Braque, Juan Gris and Picasso. One of his most significant contributions, aside from his pain- f I tings, was the tremendous impact his personality exerted not only upon the work, but upon the lives of his students throughout his teaching career. He taught art in the Pittsburgh secondary schools for ten years, and then joined the faculty of Penn State University where, as a professor of fine arts, he taught painting and design. Zoller's approach to painting can best be described in his own words, taken from a statement he wrote for The Art League News: "The essential characteristic of a successful work for me is that it represents those ideas directly in plastic terms without dependence on the use of recognizable symbols to give them significance in the mind of the viewer. Often such symbols may act only to confuse rather than clarify its intent. For this reason I use numbers for my paintings instead of titles, for if you want to learn about a painting, titles can very easily become blocks to understanding. They tempt you to read messages that not there." Zoller then goes on to say, in explaining his reasons for painting, that "all men have creative urges, but in some the compulsion to satisfy them is so strong that it cannot be denied; this is what separates them from all others and compels them to commit themselves to this way of life . For me, at least, painting is a necessity; it is my only hope for realizing the full flowering of my existence. It is my way of achieving my aspirations, and of dreaming dreams." (Reprinted from the booklet, Edwin Zoller: The Later Paintings, obtained through the Sordoni Art Gallery) .

At the Eastern Regional competition against the toughest competition seen this year, Wilkes finished sixteenth of 28 teams. The leader for Wilkes in the individual competiton was Ken Pascoe, who finished sixty-third with a time of 27:01. Dave Levandoski (77-27:22) was the next Colonel across the finish line, followed by Bill Wolfe (93-27:51), and Tom McGuire (107-28:14). A team meeting was scheduled for last night, and another meeting will be held for students interested in running cross-country. This second meeting will be held November 6 at 11:00 a.m. in Coach Bellairs' office, second floor, Weckesser Annex. "We had a good season, considering that most ot"the runners were freshmen," Coach Bellairs noted. Bellairs said that the team is beginning weight training and that with the right preparation and some good recruits, future seasons could be even more successful. "We've got the nucleus of a good team," he observed. One runner Bellairs will miss is senior Ken Pascoe. "I hate to see Kenny go for a lot of reasons. The kids really looked up to him," Bellairs explained. "I was a first year coach, and to me he was like an assistant coach. I think it's good for the younger runners to see that kind ofleadership. You can always tell running means a lot to Kenny." J.M. Flag Football Ending; Volleyball Action Begins As the intramural flag football season ends, the volleyball season is just beginning. This year's volleyball program is composed of over 300 individuals making up about 33 teams. The men's competition (17 teams) will take place on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights . The women's competition (12 teams expected) will take place on Monday and Wednesday nights. The intramurals will last from 10:00 p.m. to 11 :30 p.m. · The volleyball competition will feature a tough faculty team led by I. M. assisitant, "sizzling" Steve Seigrist, "the Connecticut Kid ." Says Steve, "We've already paid off every referee within 50 miles." Teammate Bart Bellairs added, 1 "We're favored to win since I'm the Intramural director . We will cheat, we will lie, and we will bite people on the leg under the net just to win." Sign up sheets are out for students interested in chess, pingpong, and billiards. A walk to the gym and a signature is all that is necessary for students to get involved. The flag football championship will take place immediately after the semi-finals on Sunday at l :00 p .m. The Pittston team will be taking on the Studs, and the Skitzos will challenge the Twisters in the preliminary competition. The winners of each game will face each other at 2:00 p.m. in the championship game. Volleyball ller,lea, Attitude Problems Hurt Spikers by Suzette Dyanick The women's volleyball team ended its season with a record of 12-4; very impressive. All the articles written this season were very enthusiastic, perhaps too enthusiastic, but the reason for this was that often the team members had little enthusiasm , and someone had to be positive about what was going on with the team . Lack of enthusiasm was just one problem . The attitudes of some players were really sad; the players gave up before they started to play . This was obvious during the Juniata and East Stroudsburg Tournaments and at the MAC Championships at Dickinson College. The attitude was, "We are going to get killed, so why did we even bother coming?" Too bad; at. titudes like that g~t you nowhere. 113 South Main St. Downtown Wilkes-Barr, HOURS: DAILY IOAI - 5:30PII ,oN . & THURS. IOAI - 9'1 r, fs1, F1 20,000 Nat'I Advertised Pairs IN STOCK Levrs l I VI 0....llll\11','-,, -'<,,Ii I Another serious problem faced by the team was with certain team members and their ego trips. In every sport there is always someone who wants to be a superstar and make his presence known to all. However, people will remember the year of a championship team before they will single out one outstanding player. One superstar does not make the team; a team is six team members giving 100 % in every play. The last problem the team had was not with the team at all, but with the coach. Instead of constantly relying on her "sensational six," she should have worked with members of the bench to disc,>Ver their weaknesses and build up their strengths. Though all the negative aspects are discussed here, one must remember that there were also very positive aspects of this year's team. The team possesses some great talent, most of which is returning next season. Graduating seniors Cathy Dudick, Donna Derick and Lisa Cobb will be missed because of their talents and · team spirit. Good luck to the 1982 team. Let's hope it can overcome all problems, enjoy the season, and make it the best season ever.

OLD TIMERS WRESTLING MEET SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT Wilkes grapplers from the past and present will compete at the Wilkes gym Saturday night. Former Wilkes champions will be warming up the Colonels for their upcoming season. There is an admission charge; tickets cost $1.00 and are available through the Wilkes athletic department, located at t~_e Weckesser Annex. Football: The Winless Season Continued from page 8 Wilkes had two plays from their own five . One was an incomplete pass, the other a quarterback sack in the endzone for the Lions' last two points. It was an appropriate end to a season that never really got off the ground. The amazing thing was that neither the players nor the coaches ever gave up . There was little; if any, praise for their efforts . This year's team probably tried harder and worked more than mediocre, or even winning, teams of the past. It got little credit for its efforts. The team got no praise from the local press as game results moved back deeper and deeper into the sports pages. Their own school paper, The Beacon, did not concentrate on the bright spots in the season , or their definite improvement as the weeks went by. The Colonels, players and coaches, went it alone. They kept their heads high when the going was bad . The only support they received was from one another. The press was bad, the student body did not come out in droves to cheer them on, and the administration stood by quietly, for the most part. It was the worst season ever, and it will be remembered . Long after people have forgotten which Wilkes team made the MAC playoffs and went nowhere, there will be reminders of the 1981 football season. The Colonels, through the duration of their 0-9 season, were in the hopeless situation of putting something together without any kind of motivation other than pride. The Wilkes football team has a right to be proud. They did something more difficult than playing in a winning season, or in a .500 year. They just kept losing. And losing. Yet trying. Now that it has happened, however, the reality of the situation cannot be ignored . When it comes to football, and winning, the Colonels-no, Wilkes College-was a loser. Why weren't there more juniors and seniors on the team? The task of team leadership was left to the responsibility of only a handful of upperclassmen who did an excellent job considering the circumstances. In terms of ability, Wilkes was just too young to get anywhere on the gridiron. · Then there are questions of coaching. How many games were lost through coaching errors? How many times did Wilkes pass up a field goal to attempt a touchdown, then fail? The press, as usual, was coldhearted and callous. The school paper failed to support the team, but would it really have made a positive difference? Perhaps. It might have made losing a little more bearable. It works for high school papers, doesn't it? The reality of the matter is that despite the lone efforts of the players, and the coaches, this season stunk . But what about next year? How about the years afterward? After the FDU game Coach Schmidt said, "That little black cloud just won't go away." Schmidt again used the metaphor, after last week's game. "Somebody is in that little black cloud and he wouldn't let up. " Call "him" fate . This season was a culmination of a dying football program. It must be the all-time low in Wilkes' football history if the program is worthy of survival. We canot settle only for effort, of which there was plenty; we must settle for achievement. Earlier this season Athletic Director John Reese mentioned that this year's team got as much administrative support as the winning teams of years past. Next year's team will need more. Much more. If Wilkes is going to produce seriously competitive teams in the future, we're going to need some good recruits. From there, other improvements must be made. A harmony between defense and offense must be strong. It's more easily done when both platoons can produce more equally. The coaches have worked hard, but perhaps they must work differently. The system must be analyzed by the men who run it, because they know more about it than anyone else. Practice drills, motivation techniques-everything must be taken into consideration . The administration must think about · other things than perhaps the new dorm . There is a noble effort to expand and improve Wilkes College. One of the more lucrative improvements a school could make would be to invest in stronger athletic programs, with more backing and better facilities . Our athletic programs must have more "class." The young players of this year learned to be proud from the older athletes. This shows class. Wilkes College has a lot of class. The players showed it, now it's everbody elses turn. Chuck Robbins ...

P.J.Me'H �Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA Vol. XXXIV No. 11 November 20, 1981 The Beacon, November 20, 1981 Page8 _Football Re.,Jea, from the ;bench Wilkes Loses Every Game I by Mark James ! by Ellen Van Riper The 1981 fall season is now history. The victories and defeats, once so real, have become memories. For some teams the fall was all too fleeting, , but for others it seemed as if the end would never come. In retrospect:, :the 1981 fall campaign can ~est be described as up and down, but very; very interesting. : The football team suffered through an embarassing 0-9 season, and many people around the area were calling for the resignation of Head ,Coach Rollie Schmidt. The situation got so bad that Athletic Director 'John Reese was quot~d as saying that the program lacked quality, and , the team responded with a letter in the November 13 edition of the Beacon. That letter brought to light many unknown facts about the iteam. It mentioned something about a lack of experience, but more importantly it showed the pride of the team in . itself and in the pro,gram. Retaining one's pride in a losing situation is very commendable. It is much easier for an athlete to work hard and have pride in a winning ·program than it is for an athlete to have pride in a losing program. The fact that the team took the field week after week and gave it their all, despite_the winless record, is a reflection of quality in character. The soccer team also faced a similar situation: a lack of experience and ,a losing record. They also faced the loss early to injury of an outstanding senior goaliei. Bob Bruggeworth. However, they should also be commended for their determination and guts in what could be called a ;dismal situation. The women's tennis team is the most obscure and anonymous group on campus, and not many people are even aware that there even is a team. Because of this problem, the team does not attract many participants, and the end result is,inevitablyJosing seasons. The problem is so bad that even the Beacon had tremendous difficulty in tracking down information on the ladies' progress. Well, now to the brighter side of the picture. Things always seem so much easier when one is in a winning situation. The three success stories of 1981 were the cross country, field hockey, and volleyball teams, and it is interesting to note that all three managed to overcome inexperience and achieve victory. The cross country team opened 1981 with a new coach, one solid , senior runner, and,so it seemed,not much else. The hopes of the season I rested upon the shoulders, or rather heels, of a group of inexperienced , runners. Led by Ken Pascoe, youngsters such as Dave Levandoski, Bill Wolfe, and Tom McGuire, turned Coach Bart Bellairs' dream of success into a reality. Coach Bellairs is not sitting upon his 12-6 record, for he is already actively recruiting for next season. The future is bright, and beginning with this past season's group of young runners, Wilkes College just may be witnessing the birth of a cross country dynasty. The field hockey team finished at 5-5-1, but it was not easy . Coach Meyers was faced with the problem of rebuilding the offense and filling key spots left void by graduation . It took some time and a slow start, but all of the pieces fell together at just the right time. The team gelled exactly when the schedule called for MAC games. They won those all-important conference matches, including the thriller ·against Scranton, and went on to the playoffs. Losing 5-1 to powerful Franklin and Marshall team was nothing to be ashamed about. Having found the right combination, the team can look forward to an even better season next year. Last, but not least, we have the volleyball team . The ladies enjoyed a tremendous 12-5 season, but their showings at the Juniata, East Stroudsburg, and MAC tournaments showed them how much further they really have to go. Volleyball is a sport dominated by tournament play, and national rankings are largely based upon this type of competition. In 1981,for some reason, the team could not discover the winning formula in these situations. Hopefully, with a year of experience playing together as a ·team and a taste of such tournament play, the ladies will improve in this area for 1982. Other than that the season could be called a success. One testament to their fine season is the naming of five of the starting team to the recently announced NPWIAA all-star team. Named to the first team were senior captain Cathy Dudick, sophomore captain Debbie Kramer, and junior Ellen Van Riper. Garnering second team honors were sophomore Sally Fisher and freshman Jennifer Golding. This officially ends the 1981 fall season. However, there is no timeout for a rest, because the winter season is practically here already. The men's basketball team starts off on November 24 with a home game against Alvernia, so it is time to come inside out of the cold and anxiously wait to see what winter 81-82 will have in store for Wilkes College . athletics. I 1 a Well . .. it happened. In last Saturday's 12-0 loss to Albright, the final play of the game was a safety. The game had already been put out of reach after Wilkes fumbled within its own ten yard line. The score was 3-0 and up to this point it had been a close game. Two plays later Albright punched over the goal line for their only touchdown of the game. It was at this point in the game, this point in the win-less season, that the Colonels felt the hopelessness of this year. A team cannot win if it cannot score points. It's even harder when mistakes,like a fumble this week or a penalty last week, seem to make a difference between winning and losing. The glum pity of each game this season is that Wilkes just couldn't get anywhere. The Colonels couldn't score, even when they were close. In the final minutes of the second half against Albright, the Colonels drove to the opponents' 18 yard line. Interception. In the series before that, Wilkes made it to its own 47 yard line. Incomplete pass. Punt. In the series before that, Wilkes lost two yards in three running plays. Another punt. Beginning the second quarter, Wilkes came closest to the Albright endzone. Albright was held deep in its own territory. After a short punt return, Wilkes began to gain some ground. Madden caught a 38-yard pass along the left sideline, a pass that was underthrown, but in any case, the Colonels were on Albright's twelve . Wilkes moved to near the Albright 5 yard line, and one incomplete pass later, the Colonels attempted a field goal. This time Albright messed up, and a penalty moved Wilkes half the distance to the goal line. The Colonels were a half yard away from a first down, two and a half yards from a score. Albright blitzed and it worked. The Lions held. In the second half, the Colonels drove past the midfield stripe once. The offense sputtered at the Albright 22 yard line. On first down: a run, nowhere. On second down: a pass, too high. On third down: Wilkes gained, great run . Penalty. Third down again, but this time with 25 yards to go from the 37 of Albright. Quarterback sack. On fourth down, Wilkes' punt was blocked. Albright marched to the Wilkes 30-yard line and was stopped cold . On their next series of downs, the Lions were harnessed at the Colonels' 32. After that. there was the fumble. With the score 10-0, Wilkes had the ball three more times. The first two times. the Colonels were stopped in four downs. In between these series of downs, Albright drove to the 30, and was stopped. When the Colonel defense took to the field for the last time, Albright was beginning its drive at the Colonel 45. The Lions moved 40 yards and were stopped again . No score. The seconds ticked away. Continued on page 1 Basketball Team Opens Season Noa,ember 24 Against Ala,ernia by Chris DeRe When the 1981-82 Wilkes College men's basketball team takes the court this season, there will be many new faces on the sidelines, but familiar ones on the court. Jim Atherton, a 1954 Wilkes graduate, replaces Washington State bound Ron Righter at the helm of the Colonels. Atherton comes to Wilkes after serving as Head Coach at Luzerne County Community College for the past 13 years. While at LCCC he compiled a very impressive career coaching record of 228-86, for a .726 winning percentage. The Colonels will also have two new assistant coaches. Steve Siegrest and Bart Bellairs will assist Atherton. Steve is a 1977 graduate of Trinity College in Connecticut, and Bart is a 1979 graduate of Western Illinois University. Both men will also serve as assistant baseball coaches in the spring. The outlook for this season appears to be bright. Wilkes loses some key lettermen from a year ago, but ten varsity players return . Gone from the team are guard Mike McCarrie, point guard Pat McCue, and back-up center Bob Salmi. McCarrie was captain, leading scorer, all MAC and all ECAC for last years 14-11 squad . Last year was the first in nearly ten years that the Colonels made it to the Middle Atlantic Conference Tourmment.Coach Atherton hopes to do better. "Our aim is 20 wins and a MAC title." No Wilkes team has ever won 20 games in one season . If the Colonels are to reach such lofty goals, they will need big performances from their three seniorsKevin Walker, Tony Madden, and Pat Romich . Walker, a 6-7 center, led last year's team in rebounding with 191, and his 10.5 scoring average ranked him fourth. Madden, a 6-5 forward, was second last year in both scoring and rebounding. Tony had 176 rebounds and an average of 11.8 points per game. Romich, a 6-4 forward, scored at a 5.6 clip one year ago. Paul Scaliti and Rick Shaeffer, two players who missed portions of last season with injuries, could play a vital role on this year's. team. Scaliti, a junior guard, missed the last eight games of the season. He was averaging 11 points a game when he was injured . Shaeffer, a 6-5 forward missed 18 games last season. Other lettermen expected to see plenty of playing time are Bob Antonelli, Greg Hychko, Eddie Kershaw, Bobby Morehead, and Ross Zanghi. John Grochowski, a 6-2 guard could also help. John at this time is-injured, and it is not known when he will be available. One key to the Colonels season is the schedule. In one eight-day stretch from Jan . 20-27, the Colonels play road games against Albright , Scranton, Elizabethtown, and Kings . The Colonels open what should prove to be a very interesting and successful season on Nov. 24, when they host Alvernia . Game time is 7:30 p .m. in the Wilkes gym.

Dube, the director of that university's Center for Cooperative Education, gave Wilkes a very positive.orating, according to Robert Koester, director of the program here. The program was evaluated in accordance with government regulations that each cooperative plan be judged by an outside evaluator every other year. During the evaluation Dube met with Koester, President Capin, Dean Gerald Wuori, Dean of Admissions, Rachel Lohman, Director of Financial Aid, and with several faculty members and students. He also called or visited several employees involved in the program. Several weeks later, he filed a written report of his visit to Wilkes. About 190 students participate in the cooperative plan here. This indicates that nearly 25 % of those eligible are involved in the program. Most students work within commuting distance from the college, but a few work outside the area one or more semesters. Approximately 90 % of the students involved in the plan are paid, while 10 % work on a volunteer basis. About 60-70% work two or more semesters. Most of the students who work are seniors, although some are second semester juniors. Very few sophomores or first semester juniors participate. The objectives of the colle.ge's program are: - to demonstrate to students and employers that the liberal arts curriculum is a sound preparation for career development; - to provide work experiences that will reinforce academic learning; - to provide financial assistance. How well the program meets these objectives was evaluated by Dube. He notes some strengths in the program and some improvements to be made. One of the greatest strengths in the program, according to Dube, is the extensive support received from President Capin, who "fully recognizes the benefits of the cooperative plan . . . in terms of strengthening the academic program, and theeconomic benefits of marketing and retention." Dube also feels the faculty is "quite supportive," but that they have a conservative approach to student eligibility for the program, encouraging only upperclassmen to participate. The evaluator believes the progratn could be improved by allowing sophomores to participate, enabling them to "test tentative career choices while there is still time to make changes in their academic and work experience program." Another strength Dube sees is the emphasis on cooperative education as a learning and academic program rather than as a job placement service. Students earn credit for cooperative education and this credit is awarded for new learning, not for experience on the job. In addition, students focus on learning by keeping a workbook. Faculty monitor a student's progress by checking weekly logs submitted by the student. The cooperative program itself also reports to to the academic dean, the same person to whom faculty must report. As a result, Continued on page 2 Robert Koester, Director of Cooperative Education. Vandalism Reaches 'Alarming Proportions' by Melissa Meyers . Several weeks ago, vandals smashed two of Pickering Hall's plate glass doors. The doors were replaced within the week at substantial cost . Th e next weekend, however, one was broken again. Vandalism on the Wilkes College campus has reached alarming proportions. In the month of September alone, acts of vandalism cost the college between eight hundred and one thousand dollars. Even though many students are not aware of the severity of the problem, vandalism has an important impact on every student attending the college. According to Dean Lampe, the administration is concerned about damage to college property - and with good reason. When vandalism is reported to college authorities, they try to find those responsible for the damage. If no responsible party is found (and it rare!}' is) the college itself pays for the damage. What this means to the student is an addition to college costs which is financed indirectly through tuition and other fees. Ultimately, the destructive acts of a few students are costing the entire student body quite a bit of money. An estimate of the costs of recent vandalism was obtained by Bill Lourie, President of the IRHC. Lourie, along with Todd Hogan and Don Wolfrom, gathered figures for use by the IRHC Vandalism ·committee. By combing the files of the Wilkes College Business Office, they compiled a list of damages to college property. They then separated those damages which were judged to be acts of vandalism and arrived at what Lourie calls, "a low, incomplete estimate" of the total cost of vandalism . From September, 1980 to April, 1981 , vandalism costs amounted to $15,100. Of that amount, $4600 was spent on replacement of glass alone. One incident of vandalism to cushions in Stark Hall Lobby amassed a bill of $1024. Con~idering that tuition costs $2100 per semester, vandals last year wasted seven semesters' worth of college funds . So far this year, over two thousand dollars has been spent to repair the results of vandalism . In addition to the Pickering doors, damages to Sterling and the Center for the Performing Arts have contributed to this amount. For example, $860 was spent recently on the repair of a piano in Darte Hall which was ruined by vandals. Dr. Anderson of Wilkes' Music Department was approached on the subject after this incident, but declined comment because he felt this would give the vandals undue publicity. The problem of vandalism on our campus, however, is becoming serious. An alternative method of dealing with this issue is being proposed by Bill Lourie. Through the Vandalism Committee's "Awareness Approch," Lourie hopes to in- form Wilkes students about the seriousness of the vandalism problem, and to show them that vandalism is "personal to every Wilkes College student." Although the committee is still in its formative stage, its reports have revealed a slight improvement in the degree of vandalism in the residence halls. Overall campus vandalism, however, is still on the rise. With the added force of Commuter Council and Student Government, IRHC hopes to curb the vandalism problem at the college by the spring of 1982. New Co--Ed Residence Hall Will Facilitate Real'l'angementa Of Campus Housing by John Finn The new residence hall, now under construction on South River Street and scheduled for use next Fall, will accommodate both men and women, and will enable the college "to make adjustments" in other aspects of campus housing, according George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs. The "adjustments" will include the discontinued use of the Hotel Sterling as a housing facility, the closing of Barre Hall, and the conversion of Sterling Hall, presently a women's residence, to a men's residence. By converting Sterling Hall, the college administration will achieve its goal of balancing the location of men's and women's residence halls throughout the campus for im. proved security. At present, women's residences are at one end of the campus and men's are at the other. Barre Hall, also a women's residence, is located at the corner of Ross and West River Streets. Ralston explained that its location on the extreme perimeter of the campus, and the high degree of maintainance it requires, were prime factors in the decision to· close the building. The · women from Barre and Sterling will have the option of moving into the new residence hall or any other women's residence on campus. The Hotel Sterling presently houses over 100 Wilkes students, men and women. The rental of the Hotel makes it one of the costliest housing facilities on campus. Therefore it will not be used at all next year. Students who choose to reside in the new building will pay an additional housing fee of $200.00. The additional cost is necessary in order to raise funds for financing the bonds issued for the construction of the building. Although options to this method of fundraising are being discussed, Ralston said this plan has been selected and, he stated, "I do not feel there is any hope" that another method will be used. Ralston pointed out that differential housing costs are common at many institutions. He also said that when students become aware of the advantages of the new building, such as air-conditioning, semi-private showers, and the "newness" of the facility, "the incremental cost will not be a detterrent." Planning for these housing arrangements began last year and was conducted by the Housing Office, Dean of Management Andrew Shaw, the Students' Deans Council, and representatives from the IRHC, SG, and CC. That group formulated six alternative plans and presented them to the President's staff with the recommendation that the plan now in effect be used. �Page 2, The Beacon, December 4, 1981 Rumors About Nursing D8pt. Un-f ounded by Amy Elias Stating that the rumors have been "vastly exaggerated," Dr. Virginia Nehring, Wilkes' Nursing Department Director, denied this week that the Wilkes' Nursing Program is, as has been rumored, in trouble. Nursing students, among others, have become concerned about circulating reports of Nehring's resignation and NLN (National League of Nursing) probation for the program . Nehring stated emphatically that both reports are false; she has no plans to resign as director, and the program itself is not presently on probation from the NLN . However, Nehring did acknowledge that the program is undergoing some difficulties, and these are mainly linked to the Wilkes College Department of Nursing's State Board failure rate. The State Board of Nursing Examination currently covers five areas of nursing: medicine, surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, and psychiatry. According to Nehring, from 1978 on the baccalaureate nursing programs received the highest percentage of failures and the lowest average mean score. The State Board of Nursing Examination, because it tests only five areas, tests exactly the same material taught in diploma programs. Students from diploma programs, Nehring noted, have traditionally scored better on the Nursing Examinations than students from Baccalaureate or Associate Degree programs. The State Board tests only a "very small part" of the B.S. nursing curriculum. "Half of what we're teaching isn't on the State Boards," Nehring remarked. The result last year was that approximately 30 % of those Wilkes' students who took the State Boards failed . Nehring acknowledges that there is a problem , but she also cited a summary report compiled by the State Board of Nurse Examiners which shows that Wilkes' mean scores in the five areas of testing are neither the highest nor the lowest in the state. Wilkes is "somewhere in the middle." "Baccalaureate degree nursing programs offer the opportunity for students to learn much more, " Nehring wrote in a recent report. "To give the most obvious example, Community Health is·a strong component of all baccalaureate nursing programs, but there are no State Board Exam questions related to this." Nehring stated that as of July, 1982, there will be a new, revised State Board Examination given, and this Exam will focus on the "problem solving process used by nurses, i.e. , assessment, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating. " This is the theoretical approach now used in B.S. and A.D. programs. One complaint frequently made by nursing students is that they must take the State Boards in their Senior years, and are tested in the areas of Obstetrics and Pediatrics - two seven-week courses here at Co•op Eoaluatlon Continued from page 1 the faculty view cooperative education as one of their programs. Dube also notes that employers find that students are well prepared when they report for work. He states, "Students from Wilkes are at least as effective, or more so, than students from other colleges." Koester's promotion of the program with the faculty, and his ability to place students in jobs are also seen as strengths. Among the improvements suggested is the establishment of a management information system , the development of which is already underway. This compi.{terized data base will allow the director to monitor costs, placement and other activities, and will be able to assess the impact of the program on the campus. Another improvement suggested is the expansion of the program beyond the vicinity of WilkesBarre. This would require an alter- 11ating calendar. On this calendar, students will take classes one semester and work outside the area the next semester. Dube notes that students often find better jobs on an alternating calendar. Overall, the College received a very positive rating in this evaluation. Dube summarizes, "It is clearly recognized that Wilkes College has developed a modest but very fine cooperative education program ." I f · - •414' ~, 9 W.

How can we learn from them? What can we do about the problems? These are just a few of the questions the Susquehanna River Tri-State Association hopes to address in its new program , " Operation River Watch ." The program will draw students from the classroom and get them involved in the community. While working with teachers and other adult supervisors, students will be exploring streams and the Susquehanna River, discovering environmental needs and problems of this area . In this program , the efforts of each student in providing informa- lion about the Susquehanna River and its tributaries will enhance the total understanding of water quality in this area . Hopefull y, the accumulated data over a number of years will show improvement in water quality in this area . This improved outcome is the on-going effort and goal of the Susquehanna River Tri-State Association , and combined with a serious effort by this community, this desirable outcome can be realized . Currently, the Association is searching for interested citizens or clubs who,would like to contribute funds for the testing equipment needed to conduct the above battery of tests.

NUM.R9 SHOP i 109 South Franklin Wilkes that nursing stud~nts take in their Sophomore years and have all but forgotten by their Senior years. "There's no way that you can absorb all of that information in seven weeks and retain it for two years," one nursing student remarked . To remedy the situation, Nehring is implementing an elective course which will concentrate on pathophysiology and high-risk families . The course will be based on sim ulation, and will incorporate films and models. Two-thirds of this year's Senior class has signed up for the course. Nehring also stated that the nursing program curriculum is presently being revised and updated to hopefully eliminate the OB and Peds problem. Wilkes is, contrary to some reports, still accredited by the NLN. Nehring explained that accreditation is a voluntary move on the part of a nursing school; a school does not have to be accredited to function. Schools that are non-accredited, however, cannot receive federal funding, and some of the better graduate schools require that students come from accredited programs. (However, Nehring noted, Yale University does not .) A school can be accredited for three to eight years.

Many students on campus disagree with this recommendation, and so SC recently voted to "strictly oppose the proposed $200 differential fee and to take an active role in investigating alternative means of financing the new residence hall." According to Housing Director Paul Adams, the extra $200 is being used to help pay for the interest on the tax-free bonds which are financing the new residence hall. He added that the residents are not paying the $200 simply ..to live there but instead they are helping to finance the new building. Many SC members, believing the extra amount to be unfair, suggested other alternative means towards financing . One suggestion was to divide the amount among all resident students , making the room and board $40 extra per student each semester. Another alternative is to disperse the $40,000 needed in interest fees among the entire student body because the new hall is being built for the whole college. SC President Ana Nunez said NOTICE Invoices issued by the Finan~e Office will have a new look starting next spring. A one-page, 8-1/2 x 11 · bill will replace the smaller version now in use, according to Karen Campb~ll, Director of the Finance Office. The new format will list all courses and charges, along with a formulation of financial aid. Also included will be a special instruction sheet with information about payment due dates, class-card pick-up locations, and any other matters concerning the bill. The new bill is designed to save time, trouble, and anxiety for students, but it will require some extra work by the Finance Office. They, of course will now have to fold the invoices before placing them in the envelopes . ◄- that President Capin is interested in any suggestions concerning alternative methods of financing the new residence hall . Nunez urged the SC representatives to discuss these recommendations with the student body. At last week's SC meeting, $450 was granted to the new 12member cheerleading squad for the new uniforms . Megan Smith, captain of the squad, originally requested $900 but it was suggested that each of the girls pay $25 for the new uniforms. In upcoming events, Nunez announced the Christmas carolling event at the Valleycrest Nursing Home on Monday, Dec. 7. Students who are interested in carolling are invited to meet in front of Weckesser Hall at 6:45 p.m . Because of the Christmas carolling, Nunez reminded SC members that the meeting will be at 6 p.m. on Monday. Tickets are still on sale in the SC office for the Reading trip scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5. Tickets are $5.50 per person. The SC film , "The Blues Brothers," will be shown on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 9 p .m. in Stark Learning Center, room 101. SC is planning to hold another Ecumenical Service for Christmas here on campus. The service is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m . in the CPA. On a final note, Nunez mentioned that Peter Jadelis, the Wilkes SC president in 1974, recently died of leukemia at the age of 29 . It was through his efforts that Wilkes College received its first Student Union building which was originally named the Jadelis Union Building. It is now the AFROTC building located in Church Hall. SC is donating $25 to purchase a business book for the Wilkes library in memory of Jadelis. ~ ~ Co--ope.rative P.rog.ram Opens .

The program, which will take three to four years to complete, consists of 13 courses, nine of which are offered on the Wilkes campus. The remaining four courses are offered on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in order to meet the students' residency requirements. The first year of the program . will be devoted to research . Course topics for this phase of the program include Anthropology and Education, Ethnographic Methods, and Field Study Methods. During this time, the students will concentrate on the "identification, investigation and possible solution of major problems facing school districts in the Wilkes-Barre area." The remainder of the program will be devoted to the completion of professional coursework and the collection of data for the students' dissertations. Course topics covered during this time include Conceptual Models in Educational Administration, Educational Law and Economic and Political Aspects of Education. Dr. Franck Darte, coordinator for the program, noted that there . is no institution in this area that offers this type of program .

LETTERS Student Condemns 'Insolent' Behavior To the Editor: I AM AS MAD AS HELL AND I WON'T TAKE IT ANY MORE . I have seen some prime examples of insolent behavior on our campus, but some of our classmates have hit new heights in lowness. As some are aware, most students remained on campus last weekend in anticipation of Thanksgiving recess. This put an undue stress on the meal staff who weren't prepared so many students, consequently the lines were quite long. I did not mind waiting in line for an hour; after all everyone had to, or at least so I thought. When I came within five persons of the door, a trio of "Wilkes' finest" waltzed into the cafeteria and promptly took positions at the head of the line. It is a sorry state of affairs when students take a few muscles, most of which are located in their heads, as a personal invitation to do as they please. Do not think that just these gentlemen are guilty; often that certain darling gaggle of girls from Sullivan Hall have been found horning their way into line. By now you must be thinking for that this fellow got cut in front of and is blowing off steam. Not by a longshot . I see homecoming displays mangled and burned; I watch students who have nothing better to do than peel wallpaper or rip stuffing out of sofas. In fact, while many were at the bonfire this year, a student took it apon himself to go into the music department and rip every hammer out of a Steinway piano; the money to fix that comes right out of your pockets, folks. I am tired of watching Wilkes College turn into Wilkes Home for the Criminally Immature. Don't people have shame anymore? Don't they possess the least amount of decency? - St. Stephen NOTICE Mr. Joseph Phillips, a counselor from the VA hospital who specializes in the problems faced by alcoholics, will speak on the topic "Alcoholism: the Disease Concept" on Tuesday, December 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Stark 341. All are invited to attend. For Better Or Worse? The decision has been made concerning the new residence hall - it will be coed. Along with this decision, numerous others have been made which will affect not only the residents of the new hall, but also a few others. Some of these decisions appear to be in the best interest of the college, but some do not seem to be fair to the students involved. First of all, we would like to congratulate the administration on its decision to have a coed residence hall on campus. There seems to be an attraction to residence halls that house both men and women. Many college and universities across the country already have coed housing facilities or are starting to establish them. By moving the women out of and men into Sterling Hall, the administration is providing the north end of the campus with something that has been lacking in the past few years"- male protection. With the exception of the men in the Sterling Hotel, there have been no Pichel Speaks Out Against Mandatory Move From Barre To the Editor: On Thursday, November 19, the Housing Office and Dean Lampe came to our dorm to personally tell us that our "home" is tobevacated for the academic year, 1982. Our reaction: shock, anger, anq millions of tears. ' We were told that we could probably be kept together and placed in the new dormitory for the fee of $200.00 per person, per year. They told us the reasons for vacating Barre were: maintence costs were too high, we are too far from campus, and the male-female ratio must remain consistent. Our arguments: last year they painted, plastered, and put a new roof of Barre, so, why not pick a dorm in worse physical condition? All the money they invested into this dorm was wasted. Besides, we were told Barre will remain vacant for three or four years, the maintence problems will not decrease, nor will the price. Why would they leave a building this size vacant for so long? Our next argument was the fact that we feel we are not at all too far from campus. It is quiet back here, and we are quite comfortable. We also argued that we would rather put the mandatory $200.00 into our dorm to help pay for maintence. Even renting out the rooms to students would be better than leaving Barre here to deteriorate. This brought the next issue: the male-female ratio. The new dorn has 84 men and 121 women. The difference is a little over 30, Barre's magic number, can't guys take our place? Guess not, that's why they also took Sterling Hall. One radical idea was to have three floors of guys and three floors of girls instead of the proposed four floors of ·girls. As far as seniority and waiting two or three years for a special room, no longer plays an important part. If we are placed in the new dorm we have the seniority of a freshman. If we decide to leave our friends and go into another dorm , we must accept whatever is open and the following year we will regain our seniority, where does that leave next year seniors? A lot of girls are really afraid that because of the inevitable tuition increase, the proposed tax cuts, and the additional $200.00 per year, they will not be able to afford this school. Some are seriously considering reapplying elsewhere, some are considering the expenses of an apartment, and some are considering the new dorm , without enthusiasm, because the other alternatives are not practical. The $200.00 increase is supposed to pay for "luxuries" in the new dorm . Air conditioning was one mentioned. For the two hot months out of the school year, a $15.00 fan would be fine. Another luxury mentioned was phone jacks. We have them now, and we still have io pay our own phone bills. Actually, the people being told, not asked, to leave their dorm should be compensated by the school. We did not ask, nor do we want to leave Barre; unfortunately, we have no alternative. If this dorm is for the school's benefit, as we were told, then why not let the whole school help pay for it? This $200.00 increase is permanent - as long as the building is inhabited. Speaking on behalf of the Barre girls, we need the support from everyone that understands and is willing to back us up . Thank-you, Kathy Pichel men to provide protection to the women at that end of the campus if it was ever needed. However, there ·are some decisions we must question. For instance, the administration is considering the possibility of charging the residents of the new hall an extra $200. According to several members of the administration, this extra charge is intended to help defray construction costs. There is the feeling, also, that students will not mind paying this "minimal" extra charge for living in a brand new building with some extras, such as air conditioning. Since many of the people we talked to don't seem to want to move into the new hall in the first place, we must question the administration's rationalization of this extra charge. We wonder exactly how many people will want to live in a new building and pay this extra $200. It has come to our attention that the women who are being moved out of the old halls are angered about it. The administration claims that the reason for closing down Barre Hall is because it is too costly to operate and maintain. In an article in the February 7, 1980, issue of the Beacon, the operating costs, per bed, of the residence halls were outlined. According to the report at that time, Barre Hall was the fourth cheapest to operate with 34 beds. Doane Hall, with only 12 beds including the resident assistant's ,wasthe third most expensive to operate. Another reason the women of Barre are upset is because of the fact they will lose their seniority when it comes to chasing single, private rooms. According to Housing Director Paul j Adams, there are 11 single rooms for women and 15 for men in the new hall. However, according to George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs, there will be no private rooms. We wonder which is correct. The administration feels it has given the Wilkes campus what it wanted - a coed residence hall and men at the north end of the campus. We agree. We que~tion, however, several of the inconsistencies among members of the administration and their decisions . We hope they will be cleared up soon. We also wonder how many students will want to, or be able to, pay the extra $200 fee. USPS 832-080 Editor-in-chief ... ... .... ..... .. .. .. . ............ .. ·. ..

If outside funds, such as scholarships or federal aid, are added, the student's "need" changes, resulting in a reduction of Wilkes' aid. "Our purpose," Lohman stated, "is to help as many students as possible." This is accomplished by granting financial aid to as many of those Wilkes students who need the money. Lohman mentioned suggestions for students regarding financial aid. The most important issue for students and their parents is to meet application deadlines. It is wise to get the applicaiton in as soon as possible. Also, read all instructions carefully and make sure the information required is accurate. The thing to remember is to start planning now for next year. Students should try to save as much as they can, work as much as they can, and make sure they meet deadlines when applying for financial aid. DRABBLE ® by Kevin Fagan I RU£.tc!1'1,'1 fooK ONE.

Video Game Explosion Hits America by Mark James The voice is gruff, harsh, and electronic: "Will-you-challengethe-Black Knight-again. Will-youchallenge-the-Bl ack Knight again. " No, it isn't Darth Vader or some renegade Cylon. It's a pinball machine. A talking pinball machine! Play it and lose, and it will laugh. It will dare; it will challenge; it will say it can't be beat. It will con; it will intimidate-at twenty-five cents a game, for three measly pinballs. But the Black Knight is only a pinball machine. Small time. Video games are where the action is. Asteroids, Space Invaders, and others make up a small empire of complicated tasks against Martians, or whatever those things are. It's the latest version of man against machine. Then there are games like Pac Man. Pac Man. For twenty-five cents the glassey-eyed video junkie gets to control a circle with a pie. wedged mouth. The object is to eat through a maze of little balls or tidbits while avoiding a handful of Martians. Unless, of course, Pac Man can get to one of the big balls. If this happens, then all the martians turn purple for a few seconds, and Pac Man can eat them, too. If they're not purple, and they catch Pac Man, he wilts. Then there are the berries. And the oranges. And the apples. And the other fruit Pac Man is to eat. lt all has som~thing to do with the scoring. The video game explosion has hit America with a super-megaton blast. It is now, not some far off possibility. It is the late twentiethcentury version of the Penny Arcade or Shooting Gallery. Now the bullets are missles, the targets are space ships, and the targets are armed . They shoot back. It makes one wonder. People love the video challenge. From college student to construction worker, there seems to be an obsession growing with the popularity of these technological hybrids. Next, there are the children.

It's a sign of the times. The penny arcade, shooting gallery, or pool hall is a part of Americanna. It's part of our hertiage, and our growing up. But remember the fears of a push button society. Those fears are being . zapped away with the advent of the computer age. Nowadays, children seem to be obsessed with buttons and video screens. Their fingers dance on buttons faster than any legs ever danced the jitterbug. They're firing missles, warheads, lazers, and "smart bombs" with buttons and "joy sticks" to dodge and destroy the enemy.

NOTICE The Farley Library has been experiencing a considerable amount of mutilation to books and periodicals. Several articles and pictures, razored from FAMILY HEALTH and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, are examples of the most recent victims. With a low cost, coin-operated photocopier available to everyone in the Library, there can be no rational excuse for tearing/cutting apart books and magazines. Also, depriving others of the opportunity to use these materials is, in itself, a deliberately anti-social and criminal act. Anyone who witnesses such actions is urged to bring them to the attention of College staff. The librarians are committed to the concept of open stacks, but we must serously consider a return to closed periodical operations if the destruction continues. Anyone with a current subscription to NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, who cares to donate the October and November 1981 issues that ·were mutilated, may contact the Serials section.

Beatrice is searching for her boyfriend, who killed her brother in a duel. Meanwhile, her boyfriend needs a servant- and so Treffalido works for him as well . The plot is entertaining and everything is "played for laughs." Some of the 14 cast members will be dressed in the traditional costumes of the "Comedia dell' arte" which are bright and colorful. O'Neill mentioned that the Theatre Department invested a lot of money in the beautifully colorful costumes because he wants the show to look somewhat like a cartoon. The play will also incorporate a band which will play original music for the liveliness of the play. O'Neill said that the play is not a musical; the incidental music is simply being added for sound effects and spirit. He also said that the set, designed by Klaus Holm, is "one of the more elaborate sets we've had in a number of years ." The Servant of Two Masters is a play that O'Neill hopes will capture the vaudville-like comedy of the "Comedia dell' arte." He emphasized, though, that the last thing he wants is for the play to be viewed as a period piece.

Admission for nonWilkes students is $1.50 and public admission will be $2.50. The play, directed by Michael O'Neill, is a loosely-constructed form of comedy from Italy called "Comedia dell' arte." This type comedy dominated Italian drama until the late l 700's; the actors in the play improvised the dialogue as they went along. The characters included such basic types as the Harlequin, the clown, and Pantalone, the old man. Most of the lively, farcial plots dealt with love affairs but the main interest lay in the comical characters. According to Director O'Neill, the script is "corny, crazy, and a very spirited type of slapstick comedy." He mentioned that ·The Servant of Two Masters is a story that deals with a servant, Treffalido, who works for a wo_man, participation, such as booing the villain. He added that the actors will be having a great time with the play and he hopes the audience will also. NOTICE The Wilkes College Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for 110 In The Shade.

In the final five minutes, Wilkes outscored Misericordia 12-2. ✓ilkes took on MAC foe v ~laware Valley last night in an away game. The Colonels will travel to division rival Lycoming on Saturday. The Colonels began the season in fine form with a 72-64 victory over Alvernia . So far Coach Atherton & company are off to a good start, but will have some tough battles against division foes this year. Wilkes will be playing 8 games against MAC foes away, and 5 at home. The next home game will be against a tough King's team next Thursday. by Mark James Congratulations to Cathy Dudick, the volleyball team captain, and to the'Twisters," the intramural flag football champions. Dudick was selected to the MAC all-conference team after a fine performance this year for the Colonelettes, and that's quite a feat according to Coach Doris Saracino. Consider this: The MAC all-conference team is composed of only 13 athletes. The conference is comprised of 18 colleges and about 200 volleyball players. The "Twisters" came out on top of the championship flag football game by virtue of a victory over the "Skitzos. " It was an end to another successful intramural event. To l.M . director Bart Bellairs and to all the students who participated-good job! A new sports season has begun. Time for another lecture on fan support. Basketball gam~ (men's and women's), wrestling meets, and even swimming meets can make for an interesting and enjoyable study break. There was a good turnout for the Old Timer's wrestling meet, and more recently, for the basketball game against Misericordia. Things are looking good ... so far. Frustration is . . . frustration is writing a wrestling preview or a women's basketball preview with the knowledge that one basketball game and two wrestling meets had taken place after the Beacon deadline, but before the paper hits the streets, or hallways, rather. Frustration is finding out the football coach has resigned, but during a time where the next coverage of the matter will be out over a week after it is official. Frustration is having too much sports news, but not enough space to do any story justice. Frustration is having one reporter, and then finding out he didn't hand in his story this week . Frustrating, isn't it? It's J.J. "Sky" Walker. In the opening contest of the winter sports season, J.J. goes up for two as the Colonels went on to win their first game of the season. For Rollie Schmidt, the pfess wasn't very complimentary, especially not the Beacon. For the record, this writer has a lot of respect for the man. When a team loses, however, it isn't very professional, not even for a non-professional, to let personal bias affect the nature of a story. • SPORTS QUIZ ANSWERS 1.) The man to hold the world heavyweight · title longer than anyone else is none other than Joe Lewis. After his eighth round knockout of James J. Braddock on June 22, 1937, Lewis defended his title a record 25 times before announcing his retirement on March 1, 1949. His reign lasted 11 years, 8 months, and 7 days. 2.) Hold your breath Phillies fans, it was pitching ace Steve Carlton who threw the most wild pitches in 1980. Not only did Carlton lead the leagues with 17 wild pitches, but he also placed second in the national league in walks, with a total of 90 free passes that season. · • The selection process has already begun for a new football coach. Applications are being accepted until the end of the first week of January . Already the Athletic Department is being swamped with phone calls and resumes. The sooner a new coach is selected, the better. It makes recruiting much more effective. Whoever is selected will have a lot of young, but very experienced, talent to work with. If all or most of the players stick with Wilkes, the Colonels should make a rettv ood comeback. ••••••••• ·., - . - KEEFERS ARMY & NAVY Largest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the Valley. . • • • • • SPORTS EVENTS . . . .

It happened quietly, the day before Thanksgiving. It seems as solemn ·as a pensive prayer of grace before the big turkey dinner. · The story is sad . Schmidt has been coaching here for twenty years. He had been tenured . He had been successful. He had built an era of strong teams, a successful football dynasty . He is a part of the school's heritage. Its history. Schmidt will maintain his duties as golf and physical education instructor. As for football, the selection process of a new ftill -time coach is now under way . During the years behind Schmidt, the Colonels rose to prominence, then fell in defeat. There is no happy ending. Wilkes had losing teams for eight years. This past year there was no last win for "the gipper, " or the coach. His last year was the least sucessful on the gridiron . Those around him learn much from him . His strong knowledge of football was not reflected in the ROLLIE SCHMIDT performance of his most recent teams, but Schmidt had always been able to teach athletes valuable lessons about life. Such are his greatest victories. Twenty years is a long time. It means dedication. It means the man devoted a great deal of his life to the football program . He has done a lot for this school. He is deserved of many thanks . Wrestling P r e v i e w - - - - - - - - - -- Grapplers Mast Rema,i n Healthy by Mark James The key to this year's wrestling program will be numbers. Small numbers. For starters, John Reese will be coaching a small team . There are only eighteen healthy wrestlers representing Wilkes this year . Hopefully by January, Billy Dodge (126) and Jim Johnson (158) will be healthy enough to compete, but they won't be around when Wilkes faces some of its toughest competition. Already the Colonels have traveled to Lehigh, a perennial powerhouse. Last night they hosted Oregon State and tomorrow Wilkes will welcome Navy to the Franklin Street gym at 1 :00 p.m. Rounding out the first four confrontations will be a battle against a tough East Stroudsburg team next Wednesday. It's a very tough start. Wilkes' first three meets are against teams in the top 15 in the nation. It'll be good exercise, like any tough workout, but the Wilkes grapplers must stay healthy. While a team like Lehigh goes Women's Basketball Preview three or four wrestlers deep in every weight class, Wilkes will be only one person deep in three of the ten weight classes. Sophomore Kurt Rowlette (134), Juniors Mark Popple (150) , and Mark Troutman (158) all went uncontested in the pre-season eliminations. If they get hurt, especially in Troutman' scase, then Coach Reese will have to substitute from another weight class, the coach explained. "We're just going to have to keep our fingers crossed so that we don't have anybody hurt at the wrong time or in the wrong weight class," Reese explained. Filling out the starting lineup will be junior Kris Rowlette (118), sophomore Doug Billig (126), junior Lenny Nelson (142), sophomore Mark Correll (167), junior Pete Creamer (177), and freshmen Jim Mulligan (190), and Mike Javer (HWT). Reese explained that although there aren't any seniors in the starting lineup, this year's team is more experienced than last year's sq~ad . SPORTS - Young Lady Cagers Full OJ Promise by Ellen Van Riper Women's basketball coach Nancy Roberts once again will have the difficult task of forming a winning basketball team from a group of young, and somewhat inexperienced, players . However, despite the youth of the team, Roberts is highly optimistic, for the squad is "the most talented ever at Wilkes." . There is a host of new players on the team , but there is also a new assistant coach. Mary Jo Frail, a former three-sport standout and a familiar face at Wilkes, has added basketball to her coaching duties. She already serves as an assistant to Coach Gay Meyers and the field hockey team. Mary Jo lettered four years for the basketball team, and she should . be a tremendous help, especially in working with and teaching the defense. For the past three weeks, Roberts and Frail have been putting the squad through demanding two-hour practices. These sessions have been stressing fundamentals and conditioning, and two things about the team have impressed the coaching staff. The first has been the number of participating players. This year the squad has 17 players, the most ever at Wilkes. In addition, each is a bonafide basketball player. The second has been the attitude of the team. Everybody has been working very hard .at practice, and each has shown a tremendous, almost insatiable, desire to learn . In Roberts' eyes every player is "definitely an athlete." The positive attitude and the overall talent of the team has resulted in spirited competition between the players . Coach Roberts is pleased to say that there is a battle for each starting position, and that those that don't start will provide her with the luxury of a strong bench. Entering her third year as head coach, Roberts is finally seeing the fruits of her recruiting efforts. Perhaps all but five of the players on the team were recruited . This is a step in the right direction, for she is building the foundation of a solid program. Last year the team was also young, and it suffered through an 8-15 season. However, those "young" players from 1980-81 are now much more experienced for 1981-82. Leading this group are third-year players Stacey Keeley from Mt. Holly, NJ, Diane Hall from Ephrata, and Karen Johnson from Bloomsburg. Add to these the terrific freshmen trio from last year, Kim Smith, Karen Bove, and Sallie Jones, and Roberts has a sound nucleus to build upon. Smith, a Wyoming Valley West product, was both the leading scorer and rebounder for the Lady Colonels last season. Bove, from Berwick, was the second leading scorer, and Jones, a native of Pitman, NJ, was the third leading scorer. Roberts has nine freshmen whom she feels will make an immediate contribution in 1981-82. Leading this group is Charlene Hurst from Bishop Hoban. Charlene is a guard, and last year she was the MVP and leading scorer in the Wyommg Valley. However, the talent of the freshmen does not end here. All of them are capable and skilled players. Roundirig out the roster are junior Elaine Kerchusky from Folcroft, freshmen Susan Leach from Hunlock Creek, Thea Yustat from Shickshinny, Beth Fascik from Easton, Lisa Gigliello from Avoca , Lori Cashour from Baltimore, MD, Sue Schwartz from Glen Lyon, Jennifer Golding from Valparaiso, IND, and Renee Dougherty from Bishop Hoban. ---Hockey Update--- Colonels Ice King's by Loris Lepri After a 6-4 loss to East Stroudsburg, the Wilkes hockey team's record dropped to 3-3-1. Scoring goals in the contest were Tom Mitchell, Blake Batterson, Tom Stevens, and John Phillips. Assisting were Dave Szczepanski, Stevens, and Mitchell . Earlier this year the Colonels hockey club beat King's 9-6 in a hard · fought season opener. The Colonels were then tied · by Bloomsburg 5-5 by a third-period "We will be very competitive from January on if we stay healthy," Reese said, adding that Syracuse and Penn State will be among the strongest rivals . "We go out there with the idea that we can beat every team we wrestle," the veteran mentor explained. 'Tm always optimistic because the kids work hard and sacrifice a lot. They like the competition, they like the challenge and they know there are a lot of odds they have to overcome, but we haven't backed down . Every team on our schedule we've beaten, with the exception of Oregon State." Wilkes may be off to a slow start this year, but if the grapplers remain healthy, the Colonels should have a strong finish. If there are injuries, especially major injuries, then it may be a long season. After 27 years of coaching, John Reese has compiled a 286-60-8 record. It would be difficult for the law of probabilities to put a damper on success like that . QU Jz 1.) Leon Spinks was boxing's heavyweight champion for the shortest period ever.

Tljl Non-profit Organization V.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 ·JRHC Executive Council Polls DormitoryStuden ts by Lisa Gurka During the past week, members of IRHC's Executive Council have been meeting with all dorm stu dents to discuss the administration's plans to charge residents of the new dorm an extra $200. The money raised by this extra fee would go toward the $40,000 the administration must rais~ for 1983. IRHC President Bill Lourie explained that these meetings were held to "present the administration's point of view, and get the students' pointsof view, also. " At the meetings, the resident hall students were presented with the issue, had a chance to voice their pointsof view, and ask any ques- · tions they may have had . However, these students were also offered something else. They had an opportunity to make their points of view heard to the administration in the form of a vote. IRHC offered dorm students several options to the $200 fee differential. The students then voted on which option they felt would be the most fair and beneficial to all concerned. IRHC decided on two options, and then a third which.was offered as an alternative. After the issue was fully explained to the dorm students, and the votes were counted, IRHC would recommend the one voted as the best to the administration. The first option was the administration's policy of charging the $200 differential fee to the students living in the new dorm. The $40,000 that must be raised in 1983 would be done ~o by the residents of the new dorm . Option two was to raise the $40,000 from all dorm students. This would be done by raising the cost of room and board by approximately $40, and would begin for 0 the 1982-83 school term. The third option was somewhat of a compromise of options one and two, and students voted on this option only if they felt the other two options would not work. It would involve an overall room and board increase of approximately $25 for all resident . hall students. Residents of the new dorm would then be charged an additional cost of $75, instead of $200. This way, residents of the new hall would only be paying $75 rriore than anyone else. Out of · the 920 resident hall students on campus, 570 participated in the voting. 163 students, 29 % , voted for option one. Option two received 407 votes, or 71 % . (Because options one and two were decided on first, they reflect 100 % voting.) The alternative option, number three, received 200 votes, or 35 % . Lourie commented that it is the administration's primary goal to raise the $40,000 in 1983, and IRHC is "questioning the manner in which they propose to do so. " He went on to explain that the students should have some input in the matter. IRHC is taking the time to _do this so the resident hall . students on campus can offer the administration a viewpoint that is "fully informed ." He noted that IRHC had been discussing the possibility of incorporating the cost in the College's overall tuition, but it was "not a strong option and the Commuters might object to it. " Based on the results of the vote, IRHC will, according to Lourie, "strongly recommend option two to the administration for their consideration." Lourie commented that he was "a little surprised" at the outcome of the vote, especially because of the "awful big edge option two had over option one." THE NEW DORM - The building of the new dorm is proceeding as planned. Here, workers put the finishing touches on the third floor. Selection Of Acct;,unting Majors For lnterni ships To Grow More Rigorous As Program Progress£s by Melissa Meyers Accounting majors who are concerned about gaining internshii)~ ·with top accounting firms should maintain at least a 3.0 average in their major and if possible a 3.0 cumulative average in order to ensure . good . placement. Students · with lower grade point averages are in no way prohibited from entering the internship program , but should not expect to gain the best placements, since they do not have the best qualifications. This was the point Dr. Howard Williams, Chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department, was trying to get across to CC,IRHC To Establish Overnight Facilities For co'mmuters . . by Lisa Gurka At this time of the semester, weather conditions tend to worsen, making it somewhat difficult for commuter students to make it home. Commuters also tend to spend more time on campus studying for final exams; These are two major reasons Commuter Council President Joe Knox decided to arrange for overnight housing facilities for commuter students. Knox first got the idea after reading about other campuses that already have such facilities . These facilities will be in residence halls that have space available . There will be no charge for staying on campus overnight. Commuters who do take advantage of this pro- gram will be able to eat in the cafeteria at a minimal cost . Through the cooperation of IRHC, a list is being drawn up of those residence hall students who have the extra space and are willing to accommodate a student for a night or two. When completed, a · master list will be drawn up and posti>d in strateeic locations "This will be a service for commuter students who might find it difficult to make it home on a certain night, " according to Knox . "There are any number of reasons that something like this might happen: bad road conditions, car breaking down. Sometimes people are just too tired to drive the 20 or 30 miles home ." Knox explained that he had looked into other facilities where students might have been able to stay, such as the Alumni House, the Student Center and the Sterling Hotel. The residence halls were · . decided .. upon because of tht: shower facilities . Knox would like to see this s.·rvice operational for this final exam period. Because of the cooperation between Commuter Council _a nd IRHC, he expects to see this service continue on campus. «That's what's so great about it - it is an example of commuter and residence hall students working together. Without their cooperation, we couldn"t have done it ." For more information about the facilities , contact Joe Knox at the Commuter Council office, accounting majors who could be eligible for internships. Unfortunately , several stu:lents misunderstood Williams' comment. The students feared that they would be denied placements With firms if their averages fell below a 3.0. This is not the case, according to Dr. Williams. Efforts will be made to place any senior or exceptional junior who would like to serve as an intern for a Public Accounting ·firm. However, both Dr. Williams and Mrs. Cynthia Josarick, coordinator of the program , stated that .a student must meet employers' standards in order to gain an internship . Wilkes places students with such prestigious firms as Peat, Warwick, Mitchell and Company, Bethlehem; ·Arthur Andersen and· Company, New York City; Parente, Randolph, Orlando, Carey and Associates, WilkesBa rre; and Laventhol and Howarth, Wilkes-Barre. If these fi~ms expect outstanding students Williams feels that the college should give them "the best to represent Wilkes." He also feels that since seventy percent of internships lead to actual jobs, and the best firms pay up to twenty thousand dollars per year, the firms should not have to accept any but the best students. Dr . Williams hopes that eventually there will be enough good accounting majors so students with less than a 3.0 avel'.age can't consider the program . Right now, however, the Commerce and Finance Department is placing students who have somewhat lower averages than Williams would like, and has "dipped a little lower" in order to build the internship program. Now that the program has begun to progress, it must continue to do so, and, for Dr. · Williams at least, this necessitates "getting more selective ." Maggie McKeown, a senior Economics major, heard the comment . in question, and interpreted Dr. Williams as saying "Accounting majors should shape up, or things look dim" in regard to internships. Miss McKeown is head of the Student Advisory Board for Commerce and Finance majors, a group formed last year to handle student complaints and suggestions about the department. The board was very active last year, dealing successfully with such issues as scheduling of exams, professors office hours, and specific course offerings. This year, in spite of a slow start, McKeown reports a recent increase in student utilization of the serxice. Unfortunately, no concerned students went to the board over the Accounting internship problem . Dr. Williams suggests that this is one reason that the misunderstanding •.,ver the matter was not cleared up before. �Page 2, The Beacon, December 11, 1981 Part·tlme Electrical Engineering Program Planned In Re•ponse To Many Requests officially exist.

Homecoming weekend, chaired by Joanne Rice, was a definite success for Wilkes. There was effective organization of the many events held that weekend . One of the minor faults of SC that could have led to major problems was the so-called "apathetic attitudes" of many SC members during the middle of the semester . It seems that support from SG me'i:nbers was lacking in terms of helping out with SC -sponsored and other campus activities as well. This was combined with what Nunez called "a lack of respect for other organizations and fellow rep resentatives ." It appears there wa~ too much "back-stabbing" at some of the meetings when discussing the success of the activities and other issues . The problem here came from representatives who either had to "let off steam " or who just felt like talking. This issue was apparently remedied when President Nunez and Advisor Dean Hoover discussed the responsibility and influence of SC in order to "wake up" the organization. Dean Hoover urged the SC body to strive and work their hardest because it is SC who rep resents the entire student body. The organization has improved in its cooperation and more enthusiasm is apparent especially because of the newly- fo rmed Enth usiasm Committee. This committee attempts to promote spirit anrl enthusiasm th roughout the group during the meeting and has · been a special asset to the meetings. Nunez, the executive council , and the entire SC · body have been well representative of their constituents. Their dedication and enthusiasm to SC was evident throughout most of this first semester. The organization has put its best foot foward and is fully aware of the room for improvement even with the successful ventures. Each member should be credited fo r attending the SC meetings and voicing the opinions of the student body. The student body is well represented by the SC organiza tion as both look fo rward to new issues and events to occur next semester. Great job SC I cc Makes Progress Despite Slow Start' ◄- -- MN Wk _,_ -- ity and information about the service, an inadequate program on the council's behalf, or it may be due to the independent nature of Wilkes' commuters. The matter seems worthy of some consideration. The Social Committee, Special Events Committee, and Student Center Committee provided a good mix of parties and diversions throughout the semester. The Coffeehouses , run smoothly and consistently, brought quality liveentertainment to campus for the lunch-time programs. The major problem underlying the council's activity has been a general lack of mutual support among committees and the failure of committees to obtain new commuter members for participation in the affairs of the council. This problem has had a direct and visible effect in several of the council's endeavors. The November United Way Drive Dance-a-thon, for example, received virtually no support from the very people whose community the project was intended to benefit. This particular failure cannot be attributed to someone's poor planning. It can only be attributed to an embarrassing disinterest from the council as a whole . The Blood Donor Day this year demonstrated the achievement of Here's a great gift giving idea for Xmas by Donna Nitka The Inter-Residence Hall Council, under the leadership of Bill Lourie, can be credited . with various accomplishments and in- · novations this semester that have, and will, continue to benefit the college community. The most noteworthy accom·plishment of IRHC this semester was the Freshman Follies which earned Wilkes the honor of being named the NACURH School of The Month for September. This, coupled with the nomination for the large delegation spirit award received by the Wilkes delegation to the recent NACURH regional conference, is helping Wilkes to establish an outstanding reputation in NACURH . IRHC president Bill Lourie fulfilled many of his goals for the semester by establishing both a Hall Presidents' Council and a Vandalism Committee. The Hall ~ ~r ~;y-e.-;;;;.; j fOXHVNTER N.

'lt �Page 4, The Beacon, December 11, 1981 ---Half-Way Home: A Look So Far--As the Fall semester of 1981 winds its way to a cl9se, it is time to look back. We should look back at the things we did, the things we didn'. t do, and the things we should have done, but didn't. There are those who probably wish they had studied more, put more .of an effort into classes or didn't cut as many classes as they did. On the other hand, there are those who feel they put out a 100 % effort where their classes were concerned, and feel they should have cut more classes than they did. Looking back over the past semester, we feel we have done a good job of keeping the campus informed. We have covered the many positive aspects of the college ·without shying away from the negative. We think we have done our best in reporting controversial subjects (such as the facade · and the dorm decision) in a manner which was fair to all concerned. · However, there have been times when we missed the "big" story or did not cover an issue as thoroughly as we would have liked. We'll admit it. After all, we are human and do make mistakes. (People usually "observe" things, not "obsreve" them.) Overall, this has been a very positive semester for Wilkes College. Our relationship with the ad ~ ministration, Student Government, Commuter Council, Inter-Residence Hall Council and (most importantly) you, our readers, has been one of cooperation. We hope this continues throughout next semester, because cooperation benefits everyone. · At this time, we would like to thank a few people who have helped us during the past semester. To our advisor, Dr. Norma Schulman, we extend a great big "Thank You!" for her endless devotion (and energy) to the Beacon. We thank certain members of the administration for accepting a piece of equipment that will help us out a great deal. Special thanks goes out to Dr. Kinney for being there when certain people needed to let off some steam. Looking ahead to next semester, we see a continu- · ing positive ·relationship between the Beacon and the rest of the Wilkes campus. Since we have heard little complaining about the job we have been doing, we assume we are giving the campus what it wants. We would like to wish the entire Wilkes community warm and happy holidays. See you in January! Chiorello Voices Student Upset Ouer Treatment Of The 'Three Number 34s' Grievances To the Editor: . I ~otdd like to take · this opportunity to lash out at a co~ment made in the previous issue of the Beacorr and then perhaps go off on a tangent or two. The notice was in relation to students mutilating books and magazines i~ the Fl/.rley Library. ] agree that such ignorance and inconsideration is not only childish, but also extremely unintelligent and inexcusable. One possible rea.son such vandalism is . taking place may be the single, low budget "photocopier" available to approximately 3000 students. The person who wrote the notice has obviously not had to wait in _line for. a half an hour to make a copy, . only to find out the machine is inadequate. Exaggeration - not a chance, just ask the students. Most will say it · should be called a "semivisible impression" machine, because that is all it produces. Why not rent two better quality copying · machines, or,e machine just can't handle the entire college. The rate of activity has obviously takeri its toll on the Xerox 4000 . Other issues in desperate need of mention are- the way the administrators regard the students, or don't regard them. This is reflected in the future eviction of the students presently residing in Barre and Sterling Halls. It seems everyone must donate to the cause of progress. I must -give the students credit for standing up for what they believe in, but why don't · their fellow students band together with them. This . is impossible at Wilkes College, since so few people take their beliefs to the limit. A prime· example of students · only go_ing half way can be heard at any SG flick. I must commend the person(s) responsible for acquiring the films. For the first year since I have been at Wilkes, the frequency and selection of films has been satisfactory. However, the on~y thing worse than bad films or no •films is going through the troubles of acquiring them, setting . them up,: and sending the . soundt;ack through a -distorted 7" · speake~ in the-projector. Do you really .feel the speaker can handle the CPA or SLC 101? Let's be reasonable, if you .don't sit near the projector, you can't hear the audio . · Granted, you will haveyour share of · immature viewers·, but this should be taken into consideration. Why not treat the soundtrack (audio output of the projector) as input to an amp (just like a turntable or cassette deck) and hook up those immense speakers from the Student Center. This would take some effort as far as transporting the speakers go, but the benefits would surely outweigh the costs. Sounds logical to me. · There is still one question . I would like to raise. Has .anyone ever questioned what the student receives for his / her $50 ''activity fee"? The students pay for every ; 1 arty they attend, and even then must deal with a cash bar, chaperones, and security guards check- · ing under. tables. Welcome to "Wilkes High School". I say, show us something for our money. In conclusion, I would like to applaud the. people who put the extra effort into doing things right and point out, the issues mentioned contribute to the degrading ·of the general student body. The problem is not enough people give a · damn.Not enough people ~ave the (word deleted) to.stand up and say 'TM MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY- · MOREi'! Take the time to write your editor, that's what he's there for, You don't have to be an expert writer, as you can see, I'm not . So speak your piece, set whatever it · is, off your chest. Gene Chior:ello · ' •. ~ . • To the Editor: The Sports Program here at Wilkes College is supposedly designed for the benefit of the students. I fail to see how the "three number 34s" on the Men's 'varsity Basketball are benefiting. This year's team consists of fifteen players OR should I say 12 and 1/1 . players . It seems that although there are 15 players there are only 13 uniforms so three players share one uniform . This means they suit up for only 1/3 of the games. It logically follows then that they haven't even the slighest possibility of playing in % of the games. Every player is part of a team. In order to win you must have a team effort and play as· a team. This attitude is drilled into an athlete from little league to the professional level. I think two players are being forced to be nonmembers at every game. This de. stroys the spirit and concept of a team as a whole. Granted, it may be virtually impossible to play all fifteen players in every game but · at least allow all the players to be on the bench with their team . It does make a difference! An athlete must be ready mentally as well as physically for a competition. After a month and a half of vigorous workouts it is safe to say our team is physically well prepared. They are off to a great start this year at 4-0 . However, after all the workouts the "three number 34s" found out they would share a uniform the night before their opening game. I think this is enough to shake anyone's mental preparation. If they were to be "part-time" players they should have been told in advance, not after all the practices and hours they put in working out for the team. I think the i;.oaching staff should ·examine their consciences and consider this matter a little more closely. Also, they should remember that athletes are people, and people have feelings . The decision to an entire team suited up for the sehave three players share a uniform cond semester, which makes up was definitely made without remost of the season anyway.

But it is also a holiday of tradition that is celebrated throughout the world . For example, in Great Britain, the children hang their stockin gs by the fireplace, hoping that Father Christmas will fill the stockings with treats. Drinking from the wassail bowl is an old · English Christmas custom as well. The mixture in the bowl is drunk hot and contains ale, roasted apples, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, cloves, , and ginger. Another popular dish · in England is hot plum pt.mding. Children in France put their shoes in front of the fireplace on Christmas Eve, and hope they'll be filled with candy the next morning. A popular dessert is a rolled cake in the shape of a Yule log. Decorating trees is customary in Germany at Christmas time. The trees are decorated with beautiful ornaments, lights, tinsels, and cookies. Americans adopted the custom of decorating trees for Christmas from this German custom . However, American children · believe that their Christmas gifts are brought by Santa Claus; the German children believe gifts are brought by the Christ child. In Switzerland, young people visit nine fountains on their way to midnight church services on Christmas Eve. They take three sips of water from each fountain. Legend says that if they do this they will find their future spouse waiting at the door of the church . As in other European countries, it is believed that at midnight, the cattle are given the power of speech because of their presence at Christ's birth: Church bells ring throughout Norway at 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve. A Norwegian Christmas pudding contains • an almond ; t.he Norwegians believe that whoever gets the almond will be the next . person married . An unusual custom in Sweden has the eldest · daughter in the household dress in white and wear on her head a green wreath with seven candles. She then brings coffee and buns to the rest of the fam ily. Swedish children believe that elves help them with their holiday chores and also bring them Christm as gifts. The children then thank the elves by leaving food for them at night . The Christmas season leads up to a special Christmas Eve dinner in Finland. The people of the North European countries are especially kind to most animals at Christmas. They give extra feed to the cattle and place sheaves of grain on top of poles for birds . The people of Poland fast on Christmas Eve, then have a tremendous feast on Christmas Day. A vacant chair for the Holy Child always stands at the festive dinner table. Straw is scattered on the table to remind people of the stable where Christ was born. Poles also exchange sm all wafers with on e anoth e r , as t he Americans send Christm as cards. In Yugoslavia, someone stands watch ov~r the Christmas log all night, because bad luck is believed to come to the house if the !of( burns out .. A Christmas cake contains a gold or silver coin; the coin is supposed to bring good luck to the person who finds it in his piece of cake. A girl from Czechoslavakia will tell her fortune at Christmas time by putting a cherry twig in water. If the twig blossoms before Christmas Eve, the girl supposedly will ·m arry sometime during the next year. 1'~1~ I~ AL~"f \..IKE: Si1~& 001' ON A QA'fi w1·fl~ lOEt-\O'l \ 11·"11 Eda,ard Halter Meneeley Gallery Exhibits Art Of Wilkes--Barre Native The Sordoni Art Gallery of Wilkes College will exhibit the work s of Edward Halter Meneeley, a native of WilkesI3arre, during the month of December. The exhibit opened with a reception on December 6, from 3-5 p.m., and the works will remain in the Gallery until January 3. The public is cordially invited to see the exhibit at no charge . Meneeley was born in Wilkes- Barre in 1927, and began "an extr3cordinary career as a secondgeneration American Abstract Expressionist" on East 10th Street, N.Y. in the early 1950's. Critics have always found it difficult to classify him; as his career p·rogressed, he became painter, sculptor , printmaker , photographer and film maker. Meneeley has also been an inventor, developing machinery for the making of art as well as the Electrostatic Print Process as a medium for the Fine Arts. The talented artist has really had two careers, each paralleling the other, in London and in New York. He has been a part of the art scene in both capital cities for many years, and his works are included in private collections and galleries here and abroad. Meneeley's current works deal with color and geometry in new and s.urprising ways and involve paintings, prints and sculpture . Although he is a native of WilkesBarre, this is the first major exhibit by the artist in this area . Gallery hours are from 1°5 p.m. daily, IO a.m. until 5 p .m. on Saturday, and Thursday evenings until 9 p.m . Parking is available near the Gallery, which is located in the Stark Learning Center of Wilkes College on South River Street in Wilkes-Barre.

He kept the audience laughing with his constant high jinx and sneaky ways of escaping inevitable trouble. The remaining cast of the "Commedia dell' arte" equally spiced the humorous production with their individ ual comic roles. The live rock band was an asset to the play in that it blended music for a lively mood and sound effects for laughs. The set was executed in an appropriate fashion and it allowed the actors space for their many tumbles and falls. The pale melancholy blue background was enhanced by the colorful costumes worn by the cast. The loose construction of Carlo Goldoni's script was livened with today's gags and . innuendoes in well-conceived comedy . The three-hour length of the play was slow in some scenes but picked up again with the increasing audience by Doug Fahringer Last weekend's performance by the Wilkes Theatre Department was exactly as Director Michael O'Neill predicted - "corny, crazy, and very spirited ." The perfo rmance of The Servant of T wo Masters utilized a variety of comical and sexual innuendoes, slapstick, and a rock band for special effects. The vaudeville-like comedy and the audience participation created a refreshing atmosphere and contrasted nicely with the past "sophisticated" plays. The performances of the cast were similar to those of various comedy acts known to most of us as. the physical slapstick of The Three Stooges and the oneliner gags of the flashy vaudeville comedians.

(CH) - Alcohol abuse is considered a prime campus problem, and a recent survey shows why. The nonscientific · survey conducted by a national alcohol awareness gi:oup showed 88 % of college students dririk, and 15 % have seriou8 drinking problems . Those figures put college students above national averages in all categories and present a real cause for concern; -says Gerardo Gonzalez, president of BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), which conducted the survey at College Expo '81 in Daytona Beach during spring break . The survey sample wasn't scientifically drawn; but Gonzalez 43 44 46 48 49 50 51 52 53 56 57 58 59 60 says_those questioned do represent college trendsetters. He recommends alcohol education and prevention programs, like those conducted by BACCHUS on 40 campuses iri 25 states. The focus of ~he BACCHUS program is to inform students, not preach to them , on the dangers of alcohol. One encouraging note of the survey is that 71 % of the 1,920 ·students · surveyed were moderate or light drinkers, consuming between one and 64 drinks per month. Heavy drinkers were those ·who consumed between 72 and 120 drinks per month. For survey purposes, a drink was considered 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or one and a half ounces of distilled liquor.

He came out on top in the first two periods before pinning Navy freshman Ed Culpepper in 6:27 for his first victory. "Navy, I think has the best dual team in the East," Coach Reese remarked . Afterward, Wilkes lost in every weight class except at 190, which was the highlight of the entire match-for the fans. "Put two Irishmen in a circle, and there's bound to be some action," one fan commented. The matchup consisted of Wilkes' Jim Mulligan, a freshman, against Navy junior Pat Ryan. Ryan was a more powerful and experienced wrestler, but Mulligan held on for a 4-4 draw. All Mulligan's points were through penalties against Ryan. Ryan's antics, coupled with the audience participation during the match (booing, etc.) made the battle appear more like something one would see on "Championship Wrestling."

It was the first loss this season for Coach Jim Atherton's cagers as the Colonels fell behind in a tough defensive struggle near the end of the first half. The teams went into the locker rooms with ESSC on top 23-14 . In the second half,. Atherton decided to throw a three-guard formation composed of Paul Scaliti, Eddie Kershaw, and Ross Zanghi at the Stroudsburg defense. It worked for a while and Wilkes pulled to within two early in the second period. Stroudsburg bounced back by stopping the Colonels and pulling ahead every time Wilkes gained some ground . If, however, the beginning of this season is any indication of what is to come, it looks like the by Mark James For wrestler Lenny Nelson, it was a sweet victory. "I1never want to lose to Navy," he said, and he never did. His latest Navy victory, against a tough Midshipman, senior Mike Valore, was Len's third victory this year in as many matches, he won it convincingly, 12-5. The most amazing aspect of Nelson's 3-0 match record is that his victories were against nationally-ranked teams. Lehigh, Oregon State, and Navy always produce winning teams, and winning wrestlers, but not in the 142pound weight class when Wilkes is around. When Nelson is around. In his first match, Nelson defeated Ed Cummings of Lehigh 10-5 before scoring a major decision over Oregon State's Scott Cardwell, 15-3. Then there was the victory against Navy. "Valore was the toughest. I beat him by more points than against the guy from Lehigh, but I was more psyched for Valore because he tied me last year," Lenny expained. After high school, Len wanted to go to the Naval Academy to continue his education. Lenny decided to go to Wilkes. He wasn't recruited heavily by Coach Reese, but after his first year at Wilkes, Lenny decided tQ. stay here instead of transferring to Navy. At Wilkes, Lenny has compiled an overall record of 22-5-1 with• a 2-2 slate at the Eastern Regionals. This year, it appears he will continue his winning ways. Colonels could be on their way to a banner season . After opening the season with home victories over Alvernia and Misericordia, the Colonels hit the road for two important MAC games against Delaware Valley and Lycoming respectively. On Dec. 3 the Colonels took to the Aggies of Delaware Valley . In their first league game the Colonels prevailed in a 70-68 overtime thriller in Doylestown. The game was nip-and-tuck all the way, with the Aggies hold1ng a 28-27 halftime lead. The lead changed hands constantly throughout the second half until Paul Scaliti scored o·n a three-point play at :54 to put the Colonels ahead 64-60. Del Val fought back however and tied the game at 64 to force a five-minute overtime. In the overtime, Bob Antonelli scored 4 points and Paul Scaliti two as the Aggies rally fell short. Scaliti was high scorer for the Colonels with 22 points. Antonelli and Rick Sheaffer added 14 in the winning cause. On Sai.. the Colonels took their 3-0 record to Lycoming College. The Wilkes five used an aggressive defense to spur them to a 68-54 rout of the Warriors. Leading the way for the Colonels was Antonelli with 13 points, followed by Scaliti and Sheaffer with 12 apiece. Wilkes MAC record stands at 2-0, and 4-1 overall. The next MAC game is to be Dec. 10 against cross-town rival King's College. The Colonels last game before the Christmas break _ will be on Sat. against FDU Madison . Game time is 3:00 in the Wilkes gym. After the game the Colonels will have off until Jan. 13 when they travel to Misericordia. ON YOUR MARK, GET SET ... FREEZEI The waning milliseconds _before the starting gun of the men's freestyle event are captured in time by Beacon photographer Steven Thomas. Wilkes went on to lose this meet against Ursinus. · Swim Team Drops First Two by Stephen Thomas The Wilkes College Swim Team lost its second meet of the season to Ursinus College by a score of 69-40. The team's record drops to 0-2 with 2 home meets left before the Christmas break; King's last Wednesday and Elizabethtown today. Despite the loss, exceptional performances were turned in by Reed Bello, who placed first in the I-meter and 3-meter dive, Bob Butchkavitz, who placed first in the 500-meter freestyle, and Megan Maguire, who finished second in the 1000-meter freestyle. Michelle Maguire also had a good day, placing second in both the 200 butterfly and 200-meter backstroke. Unfortunately, these fine performances were not enough fo overcome a sizable early lead built up by the Ursinus team . By the end of the meet, the Ursinus team had captured ten first-place finishes in the 14 events. "This is definetly a rebuilding year," said Head Coach Bob Lewis. "This is the first year for many of our swimmers. Unfortunately, some of our first-year swimmers are seniors and won't be coming back next year," added the coach. "But I think we'll have a good year. We may _not win many meets, yet everyone will improve." Coach Lewis went on to say that there are some problems facing the team . One of the biggest problems is the fact that Wilkes doesn't have its own pool. "We get the runaround a lot about practice time," the coach said . "We started out practicing from 6:00 to 8:00. We were moved to 5:00 to 7:00, and then to 4:30 to 6:30." Despite the problems, the team does have good spirit and some promise for the future. The coming weeks should bring much improvement to individual members of the Wilkes swimming team and to the team as a whole. Team Defensive Pressure Keys First Victory For Lady Colonels LENNY NELSON "So far he has been the best performer for us. The people he had beaten weren't just average wrestlers," Coach John Reese remarked. "I think he's done a great job." Nelson prefers freestyle wrestling to collegiate; he even gives his opponents escape points in order to get on his feet. When he does this, he usually ends up gaining more points than he loses. This is attributed to his freestyle experience wrestling for the New Jersey allstars. What will the rest of the season hold for Lenny Nelson? He feels his most difficult challenges will be in the meets against Syracuse and Penn State, but as Lenny said, "I take one match at a time. When it comes, it comes ... you just have to work hard." by Ellen Van Riper The Lady Colonels opened their 1981-82 season with a victory at Delaware Valley on December 3. The final score was 76-73, and it shows how tough a con_test the game was . Coach Nancy Roberts was pleased that her young team won its first road game of the season. However, she was even more enthusiastic and ecstatic about the defensive play of the team. The man-to-man pressure applied by the team was the deciding factor in the closing minutes. Wilkes opened the game with a starting five of freshman guard Lori Cashour, junior guard Karen Johnson , freshman forward Charlene Hurst, sophomore forward Karen Bove, and sophomore center Kim Smith . From the outset the game was a nip-and-tuck affair, and the Lady Colonels managed to gain a one point lead at the half, 41-40 . The second half was a repeat of the first as both teams kept the score close. Delaware Valley was employing a devastating perim eter attack to stay even with the Lady Colonels, and they were shooting nearly ninety percent from the floor. In the closing minutes, Coach Roberts switched the team from a zone defense to a press.ure man-to-man in order to defend against outside shooting more effectively. The change in defensive strategy turned the tide in favor of the blue and gold . All five players on the . court played a hustling, ag- · gressive, and tenacious man . defense which resulted in a drastic dropping of the opposition's shooting percentage, and more importantly in a number of turnovers upon which the Lady Colonels were able to capitalize. · High scorers for Wilkes were Charlene Hurst with 24 and 5 steals to go along with it, and Kim Smith who tallied 18. Karen Bove provided all-around support with a solid 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Sallie Jones came in off the bench and c-ontributed 11 points and a fine total of 14 rebounds. Upcoming games for the ladies are December 10 at home against Lafayette, and December 12 at home against Marywood. The team will be idle during the semester break until January 8 and 9 when they will host the annual Letterwoman's Tournament . The participating teams this year besides the host Lady Colonels will be Drew University from Madison, NJ, Western Maryland College, and Moravian College from Bethlehem, PA . Last year the ladies from Wilkes garnered the second-place trophy, and this year they will be looking to win the first place award . FROM THE 'OOPS' DEPT. : Mark James really goofed last week in his wrestling preview. He reported that John Reese had compiled a 286-60-8 record after 27 years of coaching, which is all fine and dandy, but at the beginning of the season, Reese's 29th year, the veteran mentor's record in dual meet competition was 298-64-8 . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Department Of Biology Will Undergo Changes by Mary Kay Pogar Biology students who have become accustomed to seeing Dr. Charles Reif teach histology and Dr. Robert Doty teach microbiology in the sequence of mod ules will see some changes nex t year. The Biology Department is presently searching for replacements for these two professors. Dr. Doty will leave at the end of the year due to a ten ure decision . He has been with the Biology Department since 1975 as assistant professor of · biology, and has taught bacteriology and immunology, in addition to the microbiology module. Dr. Reif, Professor of Biology, has been with the college since 1942, and is well known to biology majors as the instructor in the histology module. Dr. Reif will not teach at the college after this year, but will retain his research base here as a Professor Emeritus. He is currently involved in lake research . Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the department, noted that Dr. Reif has been a "major cornerstone of the institution" and of the Biology Department . The department is now in the process of hiring two new biology professors as probationary fac ulty. Such faculty will teach for a limited time, without being considered for tenu re. Faculty members who will be able to fill departmental teaching needs in research, in anatomy and physiology labs, in addition to teaching either the histology or microbiology module are being sought by the department. In short, individuals with a "strong ability to be excellent teachers and quality Room And Board Cost Increase p.3 Thank You, Unigraphic p.4 1\1anuscript Literary And Art p.5 Contest Wrestlers Win; Cagers Lose p . 8 researchers" will be most qualified for the positions . It is also the hope of the biology department to hire a female professo r "to act as a role model" to the female biology students, .according to Dr. Turoczi. In recent years, the department has had only male professors teaching full time. A rumor that Dr. Peter Siver is leaving after this semester has been circulating recently. Several students have claimed that the assistant professor of biology, who teaches all the botany courses, has had two offers, one from Iowa State University, and one from Woods Hole Laboratory. However, according to Dr. Turoczi, Dr. Siver has stated, "I have no offers." The faculty of the department will soon take time for thei r annual re treat, during which they evaluate the biology program. They try to solve any problems and upgrade the program . Dr. Turoczi noted that some possible changes might occur in the modules. More botany and molecular biology, in the form of cell biology and "precursor biochemistry" may be incorporated into the material taught in these courses. However, changing the name of the a module is "totally undetermined" at this time, according to the department chairm an. Student Selections To Who's WhoMaH The 1982 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" will carry the names of 34 students from Wilkes College. These students have been selected because they are among the country's most outstanding campus leaders. Campus nominating committees and editors of the annual directory have included the names of these students based on their academic achievement, service to the community, leadership in extracurricular activities, and future potential. They join an elite group of students selected from more than Education committee Involved In soth Anniversary by Donna Nitka An Education Committee, composed of faculty and interested persons from Bucknell University, Wilkes College and their surrounding communities, has been formed to coordinate educational activities for Wilkes' 50th anniversary celebration. Dr. Mahmoud H. Fahmy, director of Wilkes' Division of Continuing Education, has been appointed chairman of the committee. According to Fahmy, activities planned by the committee include an educational exchange at the faculty level, an education symposium featuring distinguished state and national educators, and a series of seminars that will be staffed by members of both Bucknell and Wilkes. He noted that the committee would like to arrange a meeting of the State Board of Education at Wilkes during the anniversary year. Fahmy also stated that the committee would like to invite specialists from outside the education field to speak about their fields of expertise. The activities planned by the committee are not limited to campus activities. Fahmy noted that the committee is exploring the possibility of broadcasting a program on the development of Wilkes College on the local educational television station.

Organized in cooperation with the Edison Hotel and under the direction of Associate Dean of Student Affairs Arthur Hoover, the weekend will include bus transportation to and from New York City, hotel lodgings for two nights, and baggage handling. The cost of the trip will be $65.00 per person, and the trip is open to the entire Wilkes community. ~ Buses will leave Wilkes-Barre at 1:00 p.m. on March 26 and leave New York City at 7:00 p.m. on March 28. Hotel accommodations for the two nights will be provided by the Edison Hotel, which is located on 46th to 47th Street, West of Broadway. According to De~n Hoover, the annual Broadway Theater Weekend has become a popular event at the college, and started when he worked in the Alumni Office. The trip was originally planned only for the alumni, but when Hoover moved back to the Dean's Office the Weekend plans expanded. The trip was soon opened to the entire "Wilkes Family." "We are the catalysts which bring people together," Hoover said. The combination apparently works, for approximately 140 people are "brought together" every year. Part of the attraction of the Weekend is what Hoover calls its "structure and nonstructure": while all transportation and housing details are attended to, there is no schedule of events planned for the three days and nights. Each person can plan his own activities for b;_s stay in the City. . Hoover noted that the trip is an ideal opportunity for students who have not experienced the Broadway theater, because of the low , cost and non-structured format. He added that there will probably be many students who plan to participate and want to see a show but who will have no particular show in mind. To the undecided, Hoover recommends TKTS, a service located in Duffy's Square in the heart of the theater district. Here theatergoers can stand in line for tickets to all Broadway shows that are not sell-outs, and these tickets are priced at one-half their box-office price: Wilkes College Cultural Events Calendar Spring - DATE 10-Feb. 7 20 PARTY PLANNED YOU are invited to attend an all-college Valentine's Day Dinner Dancel The date is Saturday, February 6, 1982 at the · Woodlands, an Inn.

The number of blood donors is usually low during the winter months, so the need for blood is especially critical now . EVENT -- JANUARY Human Services by Mary Kay Pogar The Human S~rvices Committee will sponsor the second Blood DonC'r Day of the 1981-82 school year on Friday, February 5 from 10 a.m . until 4 p.m . in the gym. A $25.00 prize will be awarded to the residence hall having the highest percentage of donors. Also, a plaque will be awarded to the club or organization with the highest percentage of donors. Approximately 280 donors gave blood at the last Blood Donor Day on November 6. This time, a goal of 300 donors has been set. Last time, a concerted effort was made to involve commuters in the event, and· as a result, more commuters gave blood. There will be a prize for commuters giving blood on February 5, as an incentive for them to donate. 1982 Wilkes College proudly presents its Cultural Events Calendar for the Spring of 1982. All events listed are open to the public, and, unless otherwise indicated , there is no charge for admission.

The :orum is a attempt by the Council _to become more responsive to commuters' needs and problems, according to Joe Knox, President. Knox said he is lookin g forward to audience response and participation, and if this event is successful, he will plan additional foru ms. Although each weekly council meeting is open to all students, last semester several Council members said that they perceived a need fo r a more informal setting which would allow a large group of students to address the council. At the council meeting>fonday evening, January 25, Knox encouraged all Council Members to invite their constituents to attend the forum and voice their opinions on problems facing commuters. One member suggested that if successful, the forums should be conducted on a regular monthly basis . The Forum signals one of several new directions the council is moving in this semester. At the first meeting on Jan . 21 , Knox told the council, "We only have one more semester to make om:_ mark here." The most ambitious project now under consideration by the council is the establishment of a fu nd fo r fu ture constructio n of a multi-level parking lot on campus. This "Long Range Plan," according to Knox, would mean that actual construction might not begin for at least 20 years. He added that although none of the present members of the council would benefit from the project, this may be the best to time to initiate the fund. Knox's rough estimate for such construction at today's market prices is 2 million dollars, and man y representatives are skeptical about the council's ability to carry out the plan . It would necessitate the establishment of a fund separate from the council's regular account. The fund would be invested and would have to be sustained by succeeding Councils fo r the next two decades . Even then, the council's funds alone would be insufficient and would require fi nancial committmen ts from other sources. The council is, however, considering alternatives to this plan . S tudent Cent er B oard Spring Semeste r Activities Listed I • by Mary Kay Pogar The Student Center Board has planned several activities fo r the spring semester to ta ke the boredom out of those long winter evenings . The Board, and four other organizations, SC , CC, IRHC and the Housing Office, will each sponsor one of five bus trips to Elk Mountain for nigh t skiing on Wednesday nights . The firs t trip was Wednesday, January 27, and the other fou r trips are sched uled for February 4, 10, 18 and 24. Those who go on the ski trip with the group will have reduced rates at the ski area. A lift ticket will cost only six dollars, and a package including lift ticket, rentals and a lesson will be eight dollars . Students are urged to • ' make reservations for the bus early, since there is room fo r only 43 on the bus. If the response is large, however, a second bus may be considered, at a nominal cost to students. If only one bus is used, the transportation is free. An excursion to Atlantic City on · February 7 with the Student Center Board as sponsor is also plan ned . Ticket price is $18 .50, but actual cost of the trip is only $8.50, since the casino gives ten dollars to each person . Future Student Center Board plans call for a dart tournament on February 11, with cash prizes for the top fou r fi nishers. White water rafting later in the semester, a Winter Weekend party and a trip fo r two to Florida are also being considered . The hours of the Student Center will remain the same as last semester. The Cavern will be open from 9 a.m . to · 11 p .m . on weekdays, and fro m noon until 11 p.m. on weekends.

LOWEST PRICES! • • • • • by Donna Nitka IRHC President Bill Lourie announced that the administration has adopted a residence hall funding policy that will raise the cost of room and board by approximately $40, beginning the 1982-83 school year. The policy was recommended to the administration by IRHC as a possible alternative to the $200 differential fee the administration originally planned to charge residents of the new hall, and was based on the results of the executive cou ncil's poll of residence hall students. According to Lourie, the results of last semester's poll showed th;:.t, of the 570 residence hall students who participated, 407, or 71 % , tavored the $40 increase while only 163 students, or 29 % , preferred the $200 differential fee. The council subm itted these results to President Capin, the administration , and the Board of Trustees. Social committee chairman Raul Gochez listed the various upcoming events being sponsored or cosponsored by IRHC. A Student Center Party will be held tonight, January 29, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m .

Besides cutting back on our budget, the typesetter will offer invaluable experience to staff members and others who will be trained to use it.

As you'll 'Older' Studen t Speaks Out Against 'Rude ' B ehavior To the Editor: I am an "older" student (mid20's) on cam pus enrolled in Freshman level classes, and once again this semester I am appalled at the extremely rude behavior exhibited in class by many students at the Freshman level. Students who carry on conversations irrelevan t to the lecture material are not only being disrespectful to their instructor, but also inconsiderate of their peers. Hard as this may be to fathom - some students actually want to get an education and are interested in what the instructor has to say. Perhaps if the talkative students were aware of the tremendous amo unt of time and energy involved in preparation of class lecture, etc., they would be silent out of respect for this alone. Irregardless (sic), this type of behavior is immature and inexcusable of college-level individuals. So grow up KIDS !!!!! You are not in High School. You're being prepared for the "real world" where adults are responsible for their own actions. Why not begin accepting responsibility fo r your actions now by showing your instructors and fello w students a little respect and consideration . Education is a privilege start acting as if you deserve it. Name withheld on request Amy Marcy Beach's Gaelic Symphony" was written in 1896. It was the first symphony compose by an American woman . Sunday Independent Non--military Actions Urged Against Soviet Union To the Editor: On December 23, 1981, President Reagan in a televised address informed the American people that the tragic events now occurring in Poland have been precipitated by public and secret pressure from the Soviet Union, and that copies of the martial law proclamation imposed in Poland in .December, 1981, were printed in the Soviet Union in September, 1981. President Reagan is the only leader of the Western democracies who has repeatedly •shown the unusual courage to accuse the Soviet Union of reserving the right "to commit any crime, to lie and to cheat" in a persistent campaign to promote global revolution and one-world communist dictatorship. History has shown us that it is the well-established practice of the Soviet Union to print orders dealing with foreign countries. For instance, in 1939 maps were printed in the Soviet Union showing the independent Baltic States, Lithusania, Latvia, and Estonia, as republics of the Soviet Union. Besides, orders were signed by the secret police of the Soviet Union, the NKVD, to register and deport the anti-communist citizens of those independent countries, although the Baltic countries were occupied by the Russian troops in June, 1940.

Informed and concerned persons should insist that Americans must refrain from selling any American technology and farm products to Russia.

The exhibit, which will remain on display until February 7, includes 65 black and white and five color photographs by 32 artists. Although the infrared technology has been available since the discovery of photography, it has only recently become popular as an art form. Photographs show common objects surrounded by halos, as if lit by moonlight, and the infrared technique gives an ethereal effect. In each of the diverse images, perception is challenged and expanded by a process which is photographic yet renders a subject differently from what is expected visually. "Invisible Light" is one of the first exhibitions of infrared photography as fine art; previously, this type of photography was utilized mainly in scientific areas. Over ~ - - - - - - - - 41 1,000 photographs were submitted for consideration, from which the ty 65 were chosen. The main goal. c· · & during the initial stages ofselection Olllpany , was to demonstrate a va riety of 704 S. Main St. approaches to infrared film .

The Lady Colonels next returned to their home court where they suffered a heartbreaking 58-56 loss at the hands of Dickinson College. The game was a nip-and-tuck affair throughout.Wilkes mixed up inside and outside shots for points, and Dickinson exploited a weakness in the middle of the defense to score close baskets and draw fo uls. In the end, the Lady Colonels had chances to tie, but a breakdown of the offense was the fatal blow according to Coach Roberts.

The Colonels, ranked 20th in the nation by the Am ateur Wrestling News, also copped a second place finish in the Wilkes Open last Decem ber. Mark Popple led the•colonels with the championship in the 153 bracket. Taking second place honors for Wilkes were Kurt Rowlette at 137, Lenny Nelson at 145, and Mark Correll at 170. The New York Athletic Club took first place in the Open with 62 points followed by Wilkes with 55.5, Bloomsburg State with 22, Rider with 21, and the University of Pittsburgh with 16.25 points. In dual meet competition, the Colonels greatest victory was a 23-21 battle against Syracuse, which had been ranked 8th nationally at the time. Wilkes went into the contest with a 4-2 record and previous victories over Oregon State (23-18), East Stroudsburg (40-2), Delaware Valley (41-6), and George Mason University (41-12). The East Stroudsburg victory was the 300th career coaching win fotCoach John Reese, who will be honored for that victory on February 13, John Reese Day. The Temple victory moved Reese's career mark to 307-70-8. Against Syracuse, the Colonels jumped out to a 14-3 lead midway through the meet with decisions by Kris Rowlette (118), Kurt Rowlette (134), Lenny Nelson (142), and with a superior decision by Mark Popple at 150. Syracuse roared back to take a 15-14 lead as Chris Catalfo pinned Mark Trou tman at 158 in 4:58 and Joe Coolican pinned Mark Correll in 4:22 in the 167 pound class. Wilkes retaliated as Pete Creamer (1 77) came from behind to pin John Zito in 4:21 after trailing 4-2 at the end of the fi rst period. The Colonels were ahead 20-15, but Wilkes needed a decision in one of the last two weight classes to seal a victory. At 190, Jim Mulligan iced it for the Colonels with an exciting 4-3 decision to put the Wilkes out in front 23-15. Syracuse fell short by two after the heavyweight bout when John Dougherty pinned Mike Javer in 2:46. After the Syracuse victory , Wilkes rolled over Virginia Tech 40-3, Rutgers 38-2, and Hofstra 30-15 before hosting Temple last Saturday . In the Hofstra meet, 134 pounder Kurt Rowlette avenged his 9-8 loss to Ed Pidgeon in the Wilkes Open championship by pinning Pidgeon in 3:55. Against Temple, Wilkes secured a victory at 177 when Pete Creamer scored a 10-5 decision over Rick Lovato to give the Colonels an unbeatable 19-9 lead . Also scoring decisions for Wilkes in the matchup were Kris Rowlette (5-3), Mark Popple (3-0), Mark Troutman (13-8), Mark Correll (3-1), and Lenny Nelson scored a 10-2 major decision.

League Record Drops To 5 - - 2 - - - - - - - - ~ - - -- - - - - - - - Cagers Bobble Two Consecutive MAC Ga mes by Mark James With six seconds left in overtime, freshman guard Damian Burnside sank his last two of 19 game high points to lead Elizabethtown to a 58-56 overtime victory over Wilkes midway through a disasterous road trip for the Colonel Cagers Monday night. Two days earlier, the Royals University of Scranton shocked the Colonels at the John Long Center with a 88-73 victory for first place in the MAC. For the high-flying Colonels, the losses were as welcome as buckshot to a duck. Going into the Scranton contest, Wilkes was ranked 16th in the nation inDivision III ball, but that's not all . Wilkes went into foe game with an impressive 8-1 slate, 5-0 in the MAC , and it seemed as though nothing could stop the Colonels. Then came the Scranton fiasco. Walker and Madden ran into foul trouble in the first half and saw limited action . Both teams exchanged the lead in the first half, but the Royals went into the locker room with a 42-39 lead. In the second half, Scranton outscored Wilkes 18-2 in the first seven minutes to jump ahead 60-41 and the closest Wilkes came after that was within 11 points with a little over nine minutes left to play. Afterward, the Royals went into a delay and Wilkes couldn't catch up . Paul Scaliti scored 25 points in the losing battle, and Bob Antonelli added 20 more. On Sunday, Scaliti injured his ankle and was out for the Elizabethtown game and doubtful against King's last Wednesday . Elizabe thtow n mu st have scouted the Colonels on Saturday night because the delay game that worked so well for Scranton worked equally well against the Colonels Monday night, but the B!t.1e Jays used the delay throughout the game. Elizabethtown outscored Wilkes 13-0 in a nine minute stretch in the first half to take a 17-6 lead with 9:11 · left until intermission . With four minutes remaininj~ in the half, the Blue Jays held a commanding 25-12 lead, but the Colonels cut that lead to eight points by the half with the score 26-18. Elizabethtown stormed out in the second half to build its lead to 13 points in the second half, but a desperate rally by Antonelli, Hychko, Romich, and Grochowski gave the Colonels a 52-51 lead with 3:54 left to play. Only one point, an E-town freethrow, was scored for the remainder of regulation play to put the game into overtime. In those final minutes, both teams continued to turn the ball over, and as the buzzer sounded, both Romich and Antonelli missed tap ins. In overtime, Elizabethtown continued to use the stall effectively. After Burnside's jumper, Grochowski attem pted a desperation shot at the buzzer, but the Colonels luck had run out. Paul Scaliti leads all Wilkes scorers with 172 points, followed by Bob Antonelli with 136, Kevin Walker with 113. But Win Letterwomen Tourney Lady Colonels Find The Going Tough by Ellen Van Riper Since the last issue of the Beacon, the women's basketball team has had a busy schedule of seven games . The highlight was the garnering of two victories and the first place trophy at the Letterwomen's Tourney. However, all has not turned up roses for the ladies. The other five games all resulted in defeat, and at present the overall record is 3-5. Prior to the semester break the ladies faced both Lafayette and Marywood at the Wilkes gym. The final score of 71-52 against Lafayette was not a proper reflection of the closeness of the _game. The first half was exciting and very competitive as-the teams battled to a 32-32 tie. In the second half, turnovers and flat play did in the Lady Colonels. Lafayette took advantage of numerous miscues to build a lead which they never relinquished. Freshman Charlene Hurst and sophomore Kim Smith led the team with 18 and 10 points each respective!y. On the other hand, the final score of 63-44 in the Marywood game properly indicated the tone of the contest. The problem this time, according to Coach Nancy Roberts, was that the opposition out hustled the women of Wilkes. No further explanation is necessary. Kim Smith topped the scoring with 14, and she was followed by Hurst with 12. Now to the highlight of the season so far, the Letterwomen's Tourney. In the opening round, the Lady Colonels faced the Lady Rangers of Drew University. Drew had recently completed a holiday European tour, but the ladies of Wilkes were unimpressed and rolled to an 82-52 victory. As the score indicates, the Lady Colonels dominated the contest totally, and four players swished the cords for double figures. Smith and Hurst finished one-two with 20 and 16, and they received support from junior Stacy Keeley and sophomore Sallie Jones who hit for 12 and 10. The championship game against Moravian was a closer affair as reflected by the 84-77 score. This time there were two main scorers, Hurst with 28 and sophomore Karen Bove with 25 . Kim Smith, usually a top scorer, was held to 6 points because of foul difficulty, so Bove's effort could not have come at a more opportune time. Coach Roberts was naturally pleased with and proud of her squad's performance. The opponents were both good teams, but she noted that during the tournament the Lady Colonels could have beaten anybody. She described their play as "phenomenal'' and witnessed the fulfillment of their potential. The type of play which the ladies exhibited was that of a team and can be best described by the words "unselfish" and "hustling. " Everybody associated with the team should be congratulated for a fine and superior performance. However, the applause does not hete end. For her excellent offensive production during the tourney, Charlene Hurst was awarded the Most Valuable Qffensive · Player trophy. Only a freshman, Charlene has already had a tremendous impact upon the team. Not only is she the leading scorer, but she also is an aggressive d efensive pla yer who uses quickness to make · numerous steals . She also displays great intelligence on the court, a trait more often shown by much more Continued on page 7 NOTICE Catch all the ACTION and EXCITEMENT of Wilkes College basketball this season on WCLH radio, 90.7 on your FM dial.

" It was those words, spoken on February 2, 1972, which put Wilkes College into the business of educational FM radio broadcasting. Now, almost ten years later, WCLH continues to offer quality non- comercial programming to the people of Wyoming Valley. In the early years WCLH was guided by Professor James Berg and Dr. Harold Cox. It was through their enthusiasm and determination that Wilkes College Radio became a reality. In those early years, WCLH involved a staff of about 15 students. The staff broadcast only 5 hours a day to an audience of approximately 200 people. In recent years WCLH has boasted of a student staff of more than 60, 18 hours of broadcasttime each day, and an estimated audience of more than 6000 people. Early programming originated from a variety of sources. Campus personalities lent their talents and knowledge to the new campus medium . Professor George Siles hosted a program highlighting educational leaders Dr. Harold Cox offered his insight of ethnic music of the early 1900's. Dr. Andrew Shaw hosted "Civic Affairs Forum. " Dr . Bruce Berryman's Weather Watch Team provided complete coverage of national and local weather. Dr. Turoczi produced "Biological Perspectives, " and Wilkes College President Dr. Francis Michelini won national recognition as the "Mystery Disc Jockey" with his program of music from the big band era. Today WCLH provides educational programming from universities all over the country in areas such as world politics, science, health, human affairs and the performing arts. In 1972 WCLH became the first radio station, commercial or educational, to air a live concert in this market . In 1979 WCLH was awarded the first Professional News Media Association Media Award for excellence in the areas of news, sports and public affairs programming. The station was in competition with other college stations in a twelve county regio.n of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. WCLH captured the award again in 1980. The Public Affairs Department receives public service announcements from more than 40 national and local nonprofit organizations. WCLH has received 25 letters of recognition for service to the community. Since its inception, WCLH has been committed to providing alternative musical programming.

WCLH has come a long way since those first words were spoken almost ten years ago . It has survived Agnes, bugetary cuts and decrepit equipment. But she could not have overcome these obstacles without the time and encouragement of President Michelini and Capin, Professor Berg, and Doctors Cox, Kinney, and Shaw. It would not be alive to day had it not been for the student managers and dozens of student operators who gave of their time and talents. WCLH looks ahead to a second decade. GO, GO, GO!

Pulitzer Prize Winner To Speak At CPA Anthony Lewis, two-time winner of the coveted Pulitzer Prize and author of a twice-weekly column for The New York Times, will be the featured speaker for the innaugural Rosenn Lecture Series program set for Tuesday , February 9 at 7:45 p.m. The program is open to the public at no charge and will be held in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Born in New York in 1927, Lewis won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1955 for a series of articles he wrote for The Washington Daily News on the dismissal of a Navy employee as a security risk. The articles led to the reinstatement of the employee and later became the basis for a movie called "Three Brave Men." Lewis joined the Washington staff of The New York Times in 1955 where he was assigned to cover the events of the Supreme Court. His coverage of the nation's highest court won him his second Pulitzer Prize in 1963. A 1948 graduate of Harvard College, Lewis worked for the Sunday department of The New York Times from 1948 to 1952. He later switched over to The Washington Daily News and covered general assignments in the nation's capital for three years. He returned to The New York Times in 1955 and served as Chief of the Times' London Bureau between 1965 and 1972. While a student at Harvard, Lewis was named a Nieman Fellow for his excellence in the study of law. He has twice won the New York State Bar Association Press Award and has written several books including "Gideon's Trumpet," about a landmark case before the U.S . Supreme Court, and "Portrait of a Decade, " about changes in American race relations . Considered to be an expert on the constitutional rights and duties of the press, Lewis is currently teaching a course at the Harvard Law School as a lecturer on law. In 1978, he was a Regent's Lecturer at the University of California Law School, Berkeley. The Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities was established at Wilkes in honor of Judge Max Rosenn by his former law clerks, family and friends . The series commemorates the tenth anniversary of Rosenn's appointment as Judge of the United States Co4rt of Appeals, 3rd Circuit. The Lecture Series features internationally known speakers in the fields of law and the humanities. Capin Named To A Na~ional Ad'ri•ory Council Wilkes College President Robert S.

If such a survey were conducted, the results would probably be extremely low. A safe bet would possibly be between twenty and thirty percent. Considering · the fact that each residence hall student must pay for twenty meals per week, it is obvious that a considerable sum of money is being wasted by students. . Therefore for this monetary reason a11d others, I propose a restructuring of the meal plan. . It is a known fact that due to the high cost of food, the cafeteria serves a menu which is h1gh in carbohydrates. In addition, the food service prepares many prepackaged items, so the menu is marked by a high salt content. The ramifications are clear. Personally, I am sure that if I ate every meal, I would eventually border . upon a state of obesity. Many other students can undoubtedly sympathize with this situation. A few can possibly admit to having been the victims of the dreaded "freshman fifteen ." One might argue that this problem could be solved by an exercise of self-control and willpower. This is an excellent proposition, but it is unfortunately easier said than done. For those who are on an eternal diet, it is usually the case that they can resist anything but temptation. The present meal plan . also creates an inconvenience of time. Many students carry a heavy credit load and/or are involved in a number of extracurricular activities, so their time is at premium , and some find the present pla_n an inconvenience. For instance, if one lives far from the cafeteria, waits in a lengthy line, and then eats, the total time involved can be as much as an hour and a half. This figure is dependent upo~ a number of variables, such as the length of the line and personal walking and eating habits, but it is significant. Multiply this by three, and one can theoretically spend four and a half hours a day at the cafeteria. Considering the premium placed upon the time of a student, this is a highly unacceptable figure . The most important factor is money. A college education is an extremely expensive undertaking, so students should not be required to pay for something which they are not using fully . The money which is wasted upon uneaten meals would be much better utilizeel if added to the payment of tuition or books. All ofthis is leading up to the ultimate proposal that the meal plan be made optional to all residence hall students. To my knowledge, at present only those students who can present a valid, undeniable, physician-verified medical reason as to the need for a special diet can receive an exemption from the meal plan. In addition, there is the further stipulation that the diet prove to be Support Urged For LegislGtion To the Editor: Legislation has been introduced in the Pennsylvania General Assembly which would give Right to Work protection to students who are enrolled or registered to be enrolled in a full time program of secondary, vocational or higher education. Pennsylvania for Right , to Work is mobilizing support for Senate Bill 966 and House Bill 1341. We believe a student working part time during the school term or during the summer is under a myriad of monetary disadvantages. Despite restricted times of employment, the student is often forced to pay both full initiation fees and regular union dues. Not only do these practices seriously reduce precious income, but because the terms of employment are generally limited, the student seldom, if ever, receives the socalled "union benefits" (health in- surance, pensions, sick pay, wage increases, paid vacations, etc.) for which his forced dues are purported to be used. Two fundamental arguments support passage of Senate Bill 966 and House Bill 1341. First, the moral right of any employee to decide for himself whether to join or not join any private organization without losing his job is vital to the survival of individual freedom. Secondly, the student's short tenure of employment generally excludes him from the "benefits" for which the union claims he has paid . Combining these two factors with the high cost of modern education, the argu- . ments fo r this legislature are strong on both moral and pragmatic grounds. There are several ways students can assist our effort. l) Let us know of any students who have been forced to join a union in Talent Show Successful To the Editor: The Big Brothers/Big Sisters Talent Show which' was held on Friday, January 29th was · a huge success.

Lisa Cobb Corresponding Secretary Lett,erwomen's Club unmeetable by the food service. I am aware of only a few students who have accomplished this feat . Granted such an option would reduce the revenue of the food service, and thus place an additional budgetary burden upon the college, but such an option might also entice the food service to upgrade the quality and selection of its meals to make students want to pay for the meal plan. Ultimately both the college and the students would benefit from the system. This optional meal plan may be an unacceptable proposal to the administration, so I offer a second alternative. The college could adopt a meal ticket plan which could satisfy the wants of all students. For example, the college could offer cafeteria plans of twenty, fifteen, and nine meals per week. Students could then choose the plan which is the most suitable and pay only a commensurate fee. The tickets could be distributed either weekly, biweekly, or monthly at a designated place. Upon I entering the cafeteria, students would simply turn in a ticket. This way the students would pay only for the meals which they actually attend, and they would be able to choose the meal of the day which they most prefer. Meal ticket plans are not novel ideas; many colleges and universities are already using them much to the satisfaction of all involved. Three such institutions are Penn State, Rutgers, and Bucknell. In the long run the adoption of either the meal plan option and/or the ticket system would prove beneficial to all concerned. Among other things it would alleviate some of the crowding in the cafeteria, result in higher quality meals, and cut down on the amount of food which is wasted by · students. ATTENTION!

Augusta's Success by Damon A. Young Since the white man's occupation in the new world, the Susquehanna River has played the role of a chess board . No matter who was fighting with whom, they all vied for control of the river for it provided transportation, food, water and protection. Throughout the mid-eighteenth century, the British and the French were engaged in an unrelenting struggle for control of the western part of Pennsylvania. The junction of the West and North Branches of the Susquehanna River in present Northumberland County provided a strategically valuable position for the British, and it was natural that they construct a fortification there. This fort, presumably named after Princess Augusta, was the largest fort built by Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War, the one outfitted largest with troops, and the last one used for military. Fort Augusta was built in answer to the need to contain the French and their Indian allies after their victory over General Edward Braddock in July of 1755. The massacres on Penns Creek near present Selinsgrove the following October, further intensified the danger in the Susquehanna Valley. Construction of Fort Augusta was begun ·in July of 1756 under Colonel William Clapham and was completed by Major James Burd the following year. The Fort was 204 feet in . total length and was constructed of logs and surrounded by a moat and an mandant's quarters. These were occupied by Colonel Samuel Hunter, the last commander of the Fort. In 1852, the commandant's headquarters burned down and a grandson of Colonel Hunter built the house which presently stands at the original Fort site. A large scale model of Fort outer stockade. Due to its physical size and the size of its garrison, Fort Augusta was never under any danger of enemy occupation. A regiment, consisting of eight companies of fifty men each, was almost always present, although the number of men was not constant. The Fort became a center of peaceful Indian activity, providing both a base for sending representatives to confer with Indians, and also a stopping point for the Indians themselves on journeys to treaties and conferences. Trade for the Indians was encouraged by the establishment of a trading post at the Fort. Fort Augusta was abandoned after the Revolution and gradually fell into ruins except for the com- DRABBLE Augusta is preserved today on the Pennsylvania Trail of History, State Route 147, in Sunbury.

He said that everything from the student's very first musical lesson through all his learning in college is put into the recital. On an average, however, music majors devote at least two hours a day preparing for that one performance, which is given once, then gone forever. These students are constantly preparing for concerts as well. For each concert, 3½ hours are devoted each day for 9 weeks in preparation. The department offers an orchestra, wind ensemble, choir, madrigal singers, stage band , and pep band . Each music major participates in at least two or three of these groups, devoting many hours to practice. Audience attendance, however, is oft.en poor . Campbell commented that he can't understand why people aren't curious enough to go to a performance even once just to see what it's all about . He pointed out that the quality of performances here at Wilkes is high and that Wilkes compares favorably with the music departments of larger schools. Campbell suggested that the poor attendance at performances may be due to the fact that most high school students are not exposed to music as an art, but he feels that these students should take advantage of the fact that Featured Designer Jeans by: JORDACHE BONJOUR BAR0NELLI SERGIO VALENTI And others all at Discount Prices!!!

Since losing his fi rst three matches of the season, Mark has put together a sixteen - match win streak, and everybody is still counting. Coach Reese's "most consistent wrestler" has been especially phenomenal over the last four contests of the team . Mark started the week with a 16-0 superior decision over his Messiah opponent in the 158 lb . class . Since he usually wrestles at 150, this is indeed a miraculous performance. Wilkes won the overall match 47-4 . Returning to his proper weight class 150, Mark then scored a 15-4 major decision Saturday over his Southern Connecticut foe . Again Wilkes was victorious, 34-10. In a quad-meet held.Jast Saturday, the Colonels beat Harvard and Western New England, but lost to Nebraska. Popple continued his fine performance by pinning his Harvard opponent and by earning a major decision over his opponent from Nebraska, 12-2. He then topped off the week in grand style in pinning his opponent in the Colonel victory over Western New England . Mark is a junior business major, and a former standout from Coughlin High School. The location of the college and the excellent academic and wrestling programs are what attracted him to Wilkes. Coach Reese is pleased that he chose Wilkes, for according to the veteran coach , Mark has come into his own this season. f .. ... .··/ In A.Valiant Effort Wilke s Falls To Penn State the past week. They are now ranked 21 st in the nation . One of the problems the Colonels had going into the Penn State meet was fatigue . During last weekend's "New England swing, " Wilkes took on four opponents, but they had originally planned to wrestle only Harvard on Sunday and Southern Connecticut on Saturday. "The timing was bad to go all the way up there and wrestle a quadrangular meet . We had to go through a long day and a long quad. It was poor timing for what we had coming up," the coach explained. The team didn't get back in Wilkes-Barre until 1:00 a.m. and on Monday the grapplers only had 35 to 40 minutes to work out seriously. That wasn't the only setback of the road trip. In the meet against Nehraska, Mark Correll suffered a separated shoulder in the first period of his bout. Correll managed to finish the match despite the pain, but Correll explained that the biggest disappointment was that the injury came so late in the season . The injury may stifle his chances of competing in post-season tournaments . When the Colonels traveled to Messiah last week, Coach Reese didn't use his usual lineup in order to rest most of his top wrestlers. Scoring for Wilkes were Ron Bonnani (118) and Kevin Stanley (126) by forfeit: Doug Collina (142) and Pat O'Callahan (150) on pins in 3:14 and 3:35 respectively; Mark Popple (158) and Mike Garvin (177) with superior decisions; Jim Mulligan (190) on a major decision; and Jim Johnson (167) with a decision. by Mark James The Wilkes wrestling team had not lost a meet sinc.e early December and had rolled up ten ,.·\i?t,,,.,.,;,,-•••\fi consecutive wins, but the Colonels ran into 9th ranked Nebraska and 14th ranked Penn State in the past week to put their record at 13-4 .

In the past week or so, the selection committee has been meeting with three top candidates, the last of which left Monday afternoon. 'Tm pretty sure we'll pick one of those three," Athletic Director John Reese explained. "They all turned out to be outstanding. We can't lose no matter which one we pick. I was very impressed with them all." Reese explained that t4e preferred criteria for the new coach to meet included college experience, a background in a winning program, familiarity with a strong offense, and recruiting experience. Each prospect met with some of the players on the team in order to give the selection committee an opportunity to gain some feedback from the athletes. The new coach will choose his own staff for next year. All three men are from out of the area, despite the speculation last year that the new coach would most likely be one of the local high school coaches. The selection committee planned to meet regarding a decision this week, Reese explained . He added that the word should be out in the next two weeks. Who knows? Maybe the Beacon will get an exclusive. Well ... • • • • Congratulations to th~ Gozintas I.M. volleyball team! The team chalked up 11 victories against only one loss to go all the way, with the last wins coming against Hotel 6th and Warner House. The team members are Tod Hogan, Roy Brody, Ishin Tupu, Jeff Wagner, Kirk Forman, Scot Ellis, John Risboskin, Tony Bahktiari, and Beacon photographer Steve Thomas. Way-ta-go! . ... After only three days with sign-up sheets posted, 22 teams have already signed up for the basketball intramurals. I.M. Director Bart Bellairs said that the competition will take place on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. He added that Sunday afternoons may also be made available. The girl's I.M. volleyball season has not come to a close yet. The girls still have a couple of weeks of competition left, but sigr.-up sheets for women's basketball are already posted. Only three teams have signed up so far . As far as the intramural competition goes, Bellairs has a stern warning: "Basketball will be run very tightly. There will not be any flagrant fouls, cussing, or anything." And he's ¢&*$#ing serious . .. sorry, Mr. Bellairs. .... Once again, there is no story on the swim team. If you l~ok at today's sports pages, you'll see only two bylines ... both of which name the sports editors. This isn't an excuse for not covering the team, but rather it is a plea for reporters. Correspondents, maybe? . For all you up-and-coming sports writers, it may be possible to g~t a position covering one of the school's major sports in the future. B~t first, you'll have to help us out. We started at the bottom, but now we re g~tting financial help in the form of scholarships. Is tuition going up agam next year too? What is known about the swim team is that they are still unvictorious. Since the break, the team has lost to Lycoming 59-24, to King's 60-32 ~nd East Stroudsburg 90-32 in a triangular meet. On Wednesday the swimmers lost to Susquehanna 69<l7 . If a team is going to compete, its members deserve credit for doing so, win or lose. The Wilkes swim team has many things going against it. Many of the teams the Colonels & Colonelettes compete against are all men's teams. It's not fair, but ... Shining this season for Wilkes have been Peggy Butchkavitz in the 200 meter breaststroke, and Magan and Michele McGuire in the 200 meter back stroke and 200 meter individual medley and 200 meter butterfly, respectively'. Coach Bob Lewis has been training Rico Ratti for the diving competition. Reed Bello isn't on the team this semester. .... For those wondering why the Wilkes sports seem more current this semester, the answer is simple - guessing. As soon as the Beacon's new typesetter is in full use (probably next year), it will be much easier to stay up to date. .

This usually occurs late Wednesda ni ht or earl Thursday morning) during layout. Lady Colonels Mired In Slump by Ellen Van Riper The sweetness of victory has once again eluded the Lady Colonels. This past week the women lost all three of their games. At present they are mired in a six game losing streak, and the season record has dropped to 3-8. The ladies began the week by travelling to Elizabethtown College on Jan. 25. The final was 88-41, and it can best be explained by the fact that the Blue Jays are the number one Division III team in the nation . Charlene Hurst led with 18 points, and Kim Smith added 9 points and 9 rebounas. On Jan. 27 the Lady Colonels faced King's at the Wilkes gym . The final score was 68-55. The game was highlighted by foul shooting, or the lack of such opportunities for the Lady Colonels. By the end of the game, King's had hit for 18 of 22, but Wilkes had only 3 for 5. The first half was a virtual stand-off except for the aforementioned foul shooting. At the intermission King's led 35-29. · In the second period both teams began to play a more physical game, especially King's. The Monarchs took advantage of turnovers by Wilkes to build a 54-43 lead. At this point Wilkes switched from a 2-3 zone to a pressure manto-man defense. Unfortunately, the change in strategy backfired. King's took advantage of the gambling Lady Colonels to score lay-ups and to run up the final score. Karen Bove led the team with 19 points and 10 rebounds, but she received more than adequate support from Kim Smith who had 16 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 blocked shots. The last game of the trio was perhaps the most heartbreaking. The ladies hosted Philadelphia Textile and lost a th rill er, 57 -56. The first half was well played by both teams, and the lead changed hands with practically every basket. At halftime Textile held a narrow 25-22 lead. In the second half, the Lady Colonels were sparked by the play of freshman Beth Fascik and an overall tenacious defense. In a space of four minutes, Wilkes went up 47-40 and forced a Textile timeout. · After the interruption of play, it was all Textile. They came out smoking and hit four straight baskets to gain a lead. The Lady Colonels staged a furious rally, but they ran out of time. Too bad the games are not 41 minutes long, for then the ladies might have pulled this one out. Charlene Hurst topped the scoring with 19, and Kim Smith followed with 11 points and a like number of rebounds. Still In Second Place Cagers Drop Another MAC Game The Wilkes College basketball team continued it's losing ways Wednesday night with a83 -73 loss to Susquehanna. It was the Colonels fourth straight loss on the road, dropping their MAC northeast record to 6-4. Wilkes is now 9-6 overall. Details will be available in next week's Beacon. On Monday the Colonels hosted Philadelphia Textile and lost by a meager 57-55 margin. Leading the Colonels was Rick Sheaffer with a game high 20 points followed by Bob Antonelli with 16 and Kevin Walker with 15. The loss was a heartbreaker of sorts. With three seconds left, freshman Lee Rudick of Textile sank in the first of a one-for-one to put the Philadelphia team up by two. Wilkes attempted a desperation shot, but it didn't work as the Colonels lost their second twopoint contest in as many Mondays. "Our kids played well and with a lot of intensity," Coach Atherton said. "We had chances. It could have gone either way." When asked what he felt about the impossibility of his team reaching its goal of twenty victories this year, Atherton replied, 'Tm not discouraged about that. We're in second place, and that's not bad." In the Textile contest, Bob Antonelli took the team scoring honors with 182. Paul Scaliti, who has 172 on the year, hasn't played since the Scranton game because of a sprained ankle. Wilkes played without the services of either Scaliti or Tony Madden in the Del. Val. and Textile games. Barring any injuries, the two should be available for Saturday's home game against Lycoming. The Colonels helped their MAC record Saturday with a 80-63 drubbing of Delaware Valley. Leading the Colonels was Greg Hychko with 17 points. Antonelli and Walker added 14 apiece. Last Wednesday the Monarchs of King's tasted revenge with a 72-68 win over Wilkes. Walker and Hychko pumped in 17 in the losing cause and Antonelli added 16. ., ,.. UP, UP, AND AWAY!

"We're here for you guys," he said . The Forum proceeded with a speech by each committee chairperson, who gave information on present and upcoming events. After the committee chairpersons had delivered their reports, Knox took the floor to discuss major issues. The commuter parking problem rated first mention . Knox discussed the idea of investing money for a long period of time and eventually building a parkade for the students. The investment time, he said, would be about 20 years. The Council plans to propose the idea to the administration. Because the plan is so longrange and expensive, alternative plans will be offered. Buying the Park & Lock, purchasing a deck parking. lot. buying land, or possibly procuring a shuttle bus are some of the alternatives being considered by the Council. Knox said he is looking for suggestions concerning how money for such an investment could be raised. He proposed charging commuters for on-campus parking spaces, perhaps $20 to $30 per school year. Knox later added that the fairness of this type of system would have to be determined. Ai. alternative was offered by a student: the Council could raffle off a few spaces. Another student commented th'.'.• the faculty should be charged for parking - not the students. "The meeting went well," said Knox. He added that another open meeting may be held near the end of the semester. He said he was pleased with the turnout and the participation at this Forum. "The speakers laid it on the line," said one student. Another said, "It was good, but the commuters were not serious." At the close of the meeting everyone was invited to enjoy pizza and meet the Council members . Pulitzer Prize Winner Speaker In Max Bosenn Lecture Series by John Finn Anthony Lewis , two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and columnist for the New York Times, defended the institution of the United States Supremt: Court in a lecture given at Wilkes College on Tuesday evening, February 9. It was the inauguration of the Max Rosenn Lecture Series Lewis told the audience of of approximately 350 persons gathered in the CPA, that there _are nearly 30 legislative proposals pending in Congress that, if only a few became law, would constitute a "fundamental and perilous change in the judicial system." The bills deal with matters including religion, busing, education and criminal justice, and are in many instances designed to give the ability to selectively restrict the court's jurisdiction. Lewis is recognized as one of the foremost Supreme Court experts in the nation . As a Washington corres pond ent for the Times from 1955 to 1965. the court was his beat. He is also the author of Gideon's Trumpet , a book about a major Supreme Court case concerning criminal procedure. Early Tuesday afternoon Lewis was the featured guest at a luncheon •in Weckesser Hall, which was attended by students, faculty, and college administrators. During an hour of informal conversation , Mr. Lewis expressed his views on the press, the Supreme Court, and the state of education . He criticized President Reagan's proposal to further reduce and eliminate major college financial aid programs. College education, he said, has historically been one of the prime means of preserving "social mobility" in this country, and he said he is not sure that the potential impact of these actions has been considered fully. In an introductory note to his lecture, Lewis was called on to reiterate his decade-old critique of the Supreme Court, and he responded, " ! still believe my statement of ten years ago concerning the value of the institution and not the individuals on the Court." He cited examples of nations around the world that have recognized the importance of a strong and responsible judiciary to a democratic society, and are attempting to establish their own . Said Lewis , " Americans should take pri de that th is judicial process that is being copied started here." Instead, he said, the institution is " under attack here at home." Lewis then respoeded to the view that the Supreme Court has frequently intruded on legislative matters, and in the process he demonstrated his knowledge and familiarity of the court familiarity of the Court's history. Using the example of Brown vs. the Board of Education "as an example of the Court's ability to liberate blacks ...and eventually allow the election of a white southerner to the presidency," Lewis posed a rhetorical question to his audience: "Should the Supreme Court have left the Brown ca~e to the legislative process?" He was later asked if those current legislative actions were not merely an example of the system of "checks and balances." " As Iona as they don't go too far," Lewis said, emphasizing that a precedent could be created that might eventually render the court impotent. Lewis also recommended a strategy for defending the court, stating that the bills should not be allowed to pass with the hope that they will be declared unconstitutional . This would be " disastrous," and would show a "sickness in our society." He said the bills should be defeated in Congress for what they are: "a knownothing attack." He said the main question is "would this be a more democratic system if the Supreme Court had staged its hand. .. " on cases concerning race relations, voting, criminal justice and free press and speech? His answers was an emphatic "no." "no." 'he said, "I doubt this system could work," if the Court's power was usurped. Lewis concluded his lecture by quoting a statement made by a member of the 75th Congress: "we are not the judges of the judges, we are not the Constitu tion ." COMMUTER FORUM- Social Committee Chairperson Andrea Fronzoni addresses students concerning Commuter Council activities. Financial Aid Cutbacks Discussed At SG Meeting by Lisa Gurka At Monday night's Student Government meeting, Financial Aid Director Rachel Lohman presented an outline of how President Reagan's proposed cutbacks in financial aid could affect students here. Stressing the fact that these figures represent the worst situation that could occur, Lohman stated that the latest information shows a possible 56% cut in federal student aid . However, she commented that information is "constantly changing." Current Administration recommendations call for as much as · a one-half cut in the PELL Grant, and the abolishment of the Student Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG) , National Direct Student Loan (NSDL), and the State Student Incentive Grant (SSIG). If the SEOG grant is cut out, · it would probably affect approximately -400 students on campus, according to Lohman . The work study program, which was reduced by approximately 33 % last year, could be reduced by as much as 50 % more for 1983. Of the 30 million students now receiving the PELL Grant, about one million nationwide will lose this grant. Other sources of aid which will be affected include the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) and aid given to graduate students. Lohman commented that many colleges in this area are starting to • organize lobbying campaigns. She also stressed the need for student and administration support in the lobbying effort. "The ad•.ninistra- tion is trying to help by looking h, other sources of financial aid, but nothing is definite," Lohman commented. "We need the students' help." Under fund requests, Linda Newmark and Carl Borgstrom requested $2,000· for a jazz concert to be held on March 22. The request was defeated, 9-13-1, because of the proximity of the date of this concert to other previously scheduled concerts. Cindy Bonham motioned to give Newmark and Borgstrom a vote of confidence to set a different date for the concert. There is the possibility that CC and IRHC will help in the funding of the concert. COPUS made a fund request for $350.85 in order to pay their national dues. Robbie Bale, speaking for COPUS, commented that they could not possibly pay even half of these dues. An amendment to the Student Government · By-laws was unanimously passed. Constitutions must now be available for review in the SG Office for at least one week. They will then be brought up for approval by SG, and will be read at the meeting only if there are any problems or questions. In new business, a coffeehouse featuring Marty Bear will be sponsored jointly by SG and IRHC . It will be held on Sunday, February 14, from 8 to 10 p.m . in the dining hall. Two new Senior reps were introduced at the meeting. They are Linda Woods and John "Trip" Keating. Leigh Majors and Dave Capin are the Co-chairpersons of the Cherry Blossom Committee. �Page 2, The Beacon, February 12, 1982 CC·IR HC Valentine's Day Part y Scheduled For Tonight by John Finn The CC-IRHC Valentine's Day Party will be held this Friday evening, Feb. 12, at the Woodlands Inn, 8 p.m. to 1 a .m. TickftS are $5.00 per person and will still be sold on Friday in the Student Center, first floor, according to Nancy Bowanko, Commuter Council's Social Committee chairperson. A hot buffet will be served and music will be provided by "Love Train," a band whose repetoire includes hits from the · 1940's to the '80s. On Sunday, Feb. 14, the Council will conduct a Martz bus trip to the 76ers vs. the New York Knicks basketball game at Philadelphia. The total cost per person for bus and game ticket is $17.50 . The Commuter Council will also sponsor the next Student Center Ski Trip to Elk Mountain on Thursday, Feb. 18 . The council Monday unanimously approved a $145.00 subsidy for a bus to the ski resort in the Poconos. A note of urgency concerning new threats to Federal financial aid was conveyed to the council by Robin Bale, Executive Director of COPUS (The Coalition of Independent College and University Room Selection Plan Approved By IRHC _ . by Donna Nitka IRHC voted to support the room selection process proposed by Housing for the students of Barre Hall, Sterling Hall and the Hotel Sterling. Under the proposal, room selection will take place as it always has in the individual residence halls, based on class seniority. After this selection is completed, the students of Barre, Sterling and the Hotel will enter a "lottery" to make their room selections. They may choose from either the rooms left vacant by the previous selection or the new residence hall. A motion was passed to grant the Social Committee $250 to co-. sponsor a coffeehouse with SG. The coffeehouse, which will feature Marty Bear, will be held Sunday, February 14, from 8-10 p.m. in the cafeteria. SG president Ana Nunez reminded everyone of the election changes. Nominations for SG and CC representatives will be held February 25 . Elections will be held March 4. Nominations for SG and CC presidenl are scheduled for March 30, while those for IRHC president will be held March 21. A presidential forum for the SG and IRHC candidates will be held Thursday evening, April 1. Elections will be held April 6. Marge LeBlanc stated that the NACURH conference will be held May 27-30 at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater . The theme for the conference will be "Back to Basics. " She noted that the conference is not just for IRHC reps but for any student who is interested. Included in the conference will be various seminars designed for R.A.'s, IRHC officers and reps, and residence hall students . Bill Lourie read a request that IRHC received for volunteer tutors for the YMCA tutoring program. Volunteer tutors are needed to tutor one student one hour per week . Interested students should contact Bill Lourie or the YMCA. Social Committee chairman Raul Gochez reminded students of Friday's Valentine's Day Party. The party is being held at the Woodlands from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Free bus service will be provided to and from the party. The bus will leave from Stark at 7:45 p.m. and will return from the Woodlands at 1:15 a.m . Advisor Paul Adams noted that information contained in the Guest Editorial in last week's Beacon was incorrect. After asking for comments on the editorial, Adams noted that there would be no cost difference between a 14 meal plan and a 20 meal plan. He stated that the Food Service, when determining the cost per student for meals, estimates that each student will miss 10 % of the meals offered by the Food Service. As a result, if alternate food plans were introduced, the cost would increase. IRHC vice-president Cindy Casper chaired Sunday's meeting.

Bale said this will be a strictly business trip during which students will be able to speak to their Congressmen on Capitol Hill. Bale is now taking the names of those who would like to participate. The COPUS office is on the second floor of the Student Center. The Commuter Council discussed their reactions to the first Commuter Forum , conducted last Tuesday, Feb. 2. Most responses were positive and expressed the attitude that the event was worthwhile and informative to the council's constituency. One representative, however, citing the rude behavior of several students in attendance and the problem that "people were only there for the pizza," concluded that the event was a "waste of time," (The Council served free pizza following the forum.) CC President Joe Knox commended those representatives who actively participated in the forum, and said that "The image (of the council) put forth was terrific," and that the council's talent was demonstrated . Knox said he is considering another forum th is semester. The following dates have been set for nominations and election for Commuter Council: President - nominations March 29, elections April 16; representatives nominations Feb. 25, elections March 14. Treacherous conditions caused by recent ice, snow, and rain have prompted a suggestion from one council member that a sidewalk be laid down on the path behind Hollenback Hall.Joe Knox said he will investigate the problem and follow the suggestion . .. . ~ SPRING BREAK '82 *DAYTONA BEACH $114 FT.

The theme of this year's drive is "Mindpower." Actually, the Mindpower campaign was launched in July, 1981, by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) . The decision to adopt Mindpower as Wilkes College's 1982 theme was made by t' offices of Alumni, Developr. ~nt, Public Relations, and Planned Giving. Also instrumental in this decision was Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, Dean of External Affairs. According to Kelly, CASE has published a directory of its member institutions, ill which Wilkes College and its deans are listed . The purpose of Mindpower, as Kelly sees it, is to urge members of CASE to build a common theme into their individual fund-raising efforts. He believes that the slogan "America's Energy is Mindpower" encourages people to "make higher education their priority throughout the year." In working towards the development of the Min.dpower theme, Wilkes has distributed campaign material to donors and prospective donors nationwide. This material includes buttons, posters, and brochures, all bearing the Mindpower slogan. One such brochure, prepared by Randy Xenakis, Public Relatio ns Director, provides useful information to prospective contributors. The title, "Wilkes College Campaign '82 - Providing Scholarships for Mindpower," stresses that funds raised by this campaign will be used primarily for student scholarships. The brochure's contents describe the college's support for Mindpower, and features alumni and students pursuing excellence in the fields of Education, Business, the Arts, Medicine-Science, Law, and Community Service. Among those active in the Mindpower Campaign '82 are: Robert Dr. Goode To Teach Chinese Yoga Course by Donna Nitka Dr. David Goode is currently teaching a "Chinese Yoga" course which deals with the Chinese method of health maintenance. The course is being offered by the Division of Continuing Education. According to Goode, the course is designed to teach the basics of tai chi, a Chinese exercise system. The tai chi system is based on the Chinese concept that specific organs of the body are associated with specific meridians of the body. Tai chi is composed of a series of deep stretches, in certain positions, that is designed to stretch and stimulate the various meridians of the body. Also included in the course format are discussions of readings based on Chinese medicine. Tai chi, noted Goode, is markedly different from typical American exercise systems . Whereas exercise is usually very "external, competive and stressoriented," tai chi is a more relaxed form . It aims for "no pain or stress in exercise," and involves mental exercise or meditation. Diet and family are also stressed, and each student is taught that he is responsible for his own health. Goode stated that he was introduced to tai chi approximately five years ago . He noted that at that time he was experiencing "chronic medical problems." At the suggestion of a friend, he attended a tai chi class and discussed his problem with the "sifu," or teacher, Yun Chung Chiang. Yun Chung Chiang is a Chinese master of tai chi and kung fu and is also a herbalist, acupuncturist, painter, calligrapher and accomplished martial artist. After following the tai chi system of diet and exercise for a period of time, Goode's health improved. He then studied with Yun Chung Chiang, in California, from 1977 to 1980. Nine students are presently enrolled in the course. The class meets each Wednesday evening. S. Capin, President; William L. Conyngham, Chairman, Board of Trustees; Eugene Roth, Chairman, Development Committee; Richard L. Bunn, Chairman, 1982 Alumni Appeal; Frear Scovell, Vice-Chairman, Campaign '82; and Roy E. Morgan, Chairman, Campaign '82. All have high hopes for the success of Campaign '82 and its Mindpower theme. As Kelly says, "People today are sensitive to energy. They should see our real energy is mindpower." ROTC Celebrates 10th Anniversary by Thomas Jordan The Air Force ROTC program at Wilkes College will celebrate its tenth anniversary with the highest number of enlistments in its history. Colonel Bruce Burke, Commander of the detachment, said there will be a special commission ceremony to celebrate the tenth anniversary. The cadets' parents, department chairpersons, and Air Force staff will be invited to the ceremony. After the commission• Genealogy Course Offered by Lisa Gurka It has been enjoying a renewed interest since the American Bicentennial and Alex Haley's novel Roots. Genealogy, or tracing one's family tree, is now celebrating its golden age. "We are what we are because of the people in our past," according to·Dr. Bradford Kinney, instructor ol the Continuing Education course in Genealogy. "It's kind of fun to look at your past and find out who you are." Genealogy got its start back in 1538 in Europe. Since the split betw~en the Anglican and Roman Cl:atholic Churches, records have been kept of births, marriages and deaths. A carving above the doorway of the National Archives in Washington, D .C. has been coined as Kinney's slogan for the course. It reads, "We study the past to live Hie present to prepare for the future ." A course of this nature not only hel~s people lu trace their ancestors, but also develops their detective skills, their determination, and their skill in reading old records. Kinney commented that "genealogy knows no bounds in age, sex or race. Everyone has a past and it cannot be changed." Involved in genealogy for the past 20 years, Kinney has traced his ancestors back to the American Revolution. He found out that an ancestor of his served with George Washington at V~lley Forge. He belongs to numerous organizations such as Sons of the American Revolution Society, National Genealogy Society, Society of Descendants bf Washington's Army at Valley Forge, and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. 'It's fascinating to trace your roots," he commented. "It is unbelievable what you can do. Genealogy is now the largest hobby in the United States." The class meets every Monday night until March I from 7-9 p.m. in Darte Hall, Room 201. ing of the cadets, everyone will be invited to a special brunch. There will be 21 people commissio~ed (his spring: In 1972, the first year of the program, there were only two commissioned. Today there are 110 people in the detachment, and Burke added that about 20% are women. He noted that the program started few women were interested, because opportunities for women in the Air Force were limited. Burke mentioned two reasons for the membership increase in ROTC: the program helps pay students tuition, and it gives the officers experience in many fields. "They (cadets) will be guaranteed a job in the field they want," Burke said. "The cadets will also be taught responsibility and leadership." The pay is also attractive. When first commissioned, a person will receive $17,500 per year. Within 4 years he will receive two promotions, which will make him a captain earning $30,000 per year. According to Burke, another reason for the increase in enlistments is "because we are past the Viet Nam era." Or as one cadet said, "The military is not a dirty word anymore." In the late 60's and early 70's members of the ROTC were ostrasized by many students. According to Burke, that feeling no longer exists on campuses around the country. The members of the detachment run their own organization. Burke stated that this gives the cadets experience and teaches them responsibility, preparing them for the future either as a career officer in the Air Force, or as a civilian in public life. Graduate Students Enter Advertsing Contest by Suzette Dyanick "Taste the best in life ... Miller Special Reserve." Th at's the marketing theme Miller Brewing Company is using to sell its new 8,yperprem ium beer, Miller Special Reserve. You are probably saying, "Big deal." Well, it is . Four Wilkes graduates, who are pursuing their Master's degree in Business Administration, have entered a contest sponsored by the Phillip Morris Corporation, owners of Miller Brewing Company. This is the third time that students from Wilkes have entered the Marketing Communications competition of Phillip Morris Incorporated, but it is only the first time that the college has had graduate students enter. The students, John Michael Jewett, Karen Holm, Norm Witko and Ravi Vemuri, adopted Miller's marketing theme, and began the long, tedious job of developing an advertising campaign with a fictitious $10 million budget. Their first step was analyzation of the product for both its good and bad points. Then they used a basic marketing approach to draw up an advertising campaign that would use television as the primary medium. After all, nobody wants to drink a cardboard beer. In the third step , they actually made photographs for advertisements using two very ambitious models from Chase Hall. The models were placed in settings that conveyed an atmosphere of profes- EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT IS COLLEGE NIGHT AT ifmcrsnn s sionalism and sophistication. Sophistication was the overall theme that the advertising campaign was supposed to project. The competition includes other sophisticated Superpremium beers, such as Ehrlanger, Michelob and Heineken. The finishing touches were put on and the entry was sent out the third week of January. First prize is two thousand dollars and a trip to New York to present the idea to the executive board of directors for possible future use. Although the final decision will not be made until sometime in mid-June, the contestants are very enthusiastic. Norm Witko stated, "We all worked extremely hard on this project. At times it seemed like total chaos but our advisor, Dr. Kenneth Lewis, created a sense of unity and was a gigantic help. " 1 Aerobic ClassesNow Forming!

The BEACON is not publishing a Valentine's issue! No, we are not. This decision was reached after a lengthy discussion by the editorial staff. The reason for this decision, and the decision itself, was not going to be publicized because of the fact that it was largely due to an internal problem. However, we have been receiving a tremendous amount of calls from students concerning Valentine messages, and we feel we owe these people an explanation. We have also noticed that IRHC placed Valentine's message boxes in certain areas around campus. They decided that since we were not publishjng the messages this year, they would provide the campus with this service. Fine. We couldn't be happier . But the announcement attached to this message box upset us. It seemed to imply that the BEACON was not publishing Valentines because we just didn't feel like it, or that it wasn't worth our time and trouble. This is definitely not the case, and we would like to take the time now to offer our explanation. There is no conspiracy among the BEACON staff to do away with Valentine's Day, love or romance. If it were possible, we would have been delighted to include Valentine messages in this issue. However, there are a number of problems confronting the BEACON. They are basically financial, and make it difficult for us to include added features of this sort. In the 1981 Valentine issue of the BEACON there were approximately seven pages of Valentine messages. The editors for that vear were surprised at the overwhelming response they rec~ived. We are certain that the response this year would have been greater, and we would probably have had well over seven pages of messages. To our readers, this might not seem like such a big deal. To us, however, it is indeed a big deal. For us to publish a 16-page paper including these Valentine messages, it would cost somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500 (if not more). We simply do not have the money left in our budget to allow us to do this. In fact , it appears that we may not have enough money left to cover publication and printing costs for this semester. So, you see, the decision not to publish Valentines was based on financial reasons - not because we did not feel like putting forth the effort. We would have liked to, and regret the fact that we cannot possibly do so this year. From the BEACON staff - Happy Valentine's Day! BEACON Office Hours The following office hours will be in effect for the remainder of the semester: Monday: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday: 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday: 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Anyone wishing information concerning the Beacon is welcome to call or stop in during these hours. Editors will be leaving the office approximately one quarter before the hour in order to insure they arrive to class on time. Please take this into consideration when contacting the office. To the Editor, Does the Housing Office or do the student handbook rules determine the proper channels to clear residence hall fun d-raisers? The dorms have always taken those steps outlined in the Wilkes College Handbook . Recently Doane Hall has found out that the Housing Office can overule these procedures without question or consequence. According to the Handbook under General Rules and Regulations: "All events shall be marked on the Social Calender (SIC) in the Student Government Office. Dean Hoover and the Social Committee will keep up-to-date records of all events. Proposed events will be given rights on a first-come firstserved basis." Furthermore, the scheduling process clearly states that "any sponsor requesting a date shall contact Dean Hoover." The Housing Office is not mentioned in any of these rules . For the third consecutive year Dean Hoover approved Doane's carnation sale and put it on his calendar (SIC) on January 20th . Then on January 29th Housing approved Sturdevant's request for a carnation sale. According to the Handbook only Dean Hoover has the authority to give this kind of Winter Weekend Events Listed permission. When confronted by a representative from Doane, Mrs. Adams insisted that the two dorms comprom ise instead of correcting the mistake made by the Housing Office. Fortunately the dorms were able to compromise and the R.A .'s and officers of both dorms should be commended for their ability to handle a potentially explosive situation. The policies stated in the Handbook should be followed consistently by students and administrators alike. When the students step out-of-line appropriate actions are always taken. Are there any consequences when the administrators over-step their bounds? Expecting results, Sara Clay Grease!

Unofficial reports have revealed that the proposals will call for: a severe reduction in Pell Grant (BEOG) Funding, nwnerous restrictions on the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) program , and a final end to the need-based National Direct Student Loan (NDSL), Supplemental Education al Opportunit y Grant (SEOG), and State Student Incentive Grant (SSIG) programs. If im- plemented, these proposals would cut available aid by nearly 60 % , and remove over a million students from these programs. The time to act is NOW! It is the responsibility of every student to contact his Senator and Congressman. During the week of Feb. 15-19, my staff and I will be conducting a major grass roots lobbying campaign. We will supply a written outline, and pjiper, envelope, and postage. The tables will be set up in the Student Center from 11-1 and in the Cafe from 4-6. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Thank you all for asking the inevitable question, "How's your sister?" A very special thank you goes to Sharon Wheeler and all the girls in Sturdevant Hall who made those cute, funny, wonderful cards and gifts. Randa loved them . Sturdevant you're the best! God bless you all. Sincerely, RoyaFahmy To the Editor: . Many people write to complain about what's wrong with Wilkes College. I am writing to tell you what's right with Wilkes College. Many people on this campus care. Recently, my younger sister Randa was hospitalized for a potentially serious illness. Naturally, my family was especially concerned when she was taken to Jeffer_son Hospital in Philadelphia. Fortunately, she is completely recovered and is feeling very well. Layaway Avallable handsome, athletic young man, but to the Romans Cupid was a naked infant endowed with wings who held bows and arrows and who was constantly finding himself in trouble. Later literature and art have reduced Cupid to the playful infant of cherubic appearance who now represents idealized love. According to Greek and Roman literature, Cupid is described as having a happy nature, and also, surprisingly, a cruel nature. It was said that Cupid's cruelty was shown in his treatment of his wife, the beautiful princess Psyche. Cupid forbade Psyche ever to try to see what he looked liked . He refused to be with her except at night in the dark . One night while Cupid was asleep, Psyche lit a lamp so she could look at him . Cupid awoke and fled in anger. Despite this story about Cupid, we still think of him as the chubby little winged boy who flies about bringing couples together. He represents a fairy-tale love which encourages aJ.l romatics especially on February 14. ! �' Page 6, The Beacon, February 12, 1982 . Amazingly True Stories 'Rodechkoisms' Insightful To History Trends by Lisa Cobb Do you know the ·truth · about how Dracula became a legend? Do you know the truth behind all those stories about Jesse James? If you've taken a course with Dr. Rodechko, you probably do know the answers, but not everyone on campus has had the opportunity to hear a famous "Rodechkoism" right from the Master. Still, their fame is wide-spread. Dr. James P. Rodechko, History Department Chairman, has made his claim to fame here at Wilkes by telling amazing stories which keep proving that the old cliche is right: truth is stranger than fiction . Well, it's more interesting, at least . Dr. Rodechko's students look forward to the once-a-week class when he shares these interesting stories. He says that thi~tradition began by accident. He used the stories as an aside to enliven his lectures. Dr. Rodechko feels that it is his job to make students aware of the . past, the things that made things happen and people act, and to make that history relevant. As a teacher, he feels he must make it interesting and help the students view the study of history as more than the learning of dates and facts, but as an analysis of culture and life and a study of trends. The stories he tells, which students have named "Rodechkoisms" in his honor, he uses to show how people influence or are influenced by their time. ed as a judge for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Talent Show and has been a judge for Gong Shows in the past. He has also served as advisor to several classes and attends as many events as possible. When asked to share one of his stories with Beacon readers, Dr. Rodechko told the following facts about Diamond Jim Brady right from memory . Notorious Diamond Jim Brady was one of the first salesmen in history to have an expense account. He believed that in order to make money, one must spend money. Diamond Jim would sell anything from locomotives to underwear and was very successful. He believed in entertaining clients and it actually became an honor to be sold to by Diamond Jim. He often gave very expensive diamond stick pins to clients and held a $100,000 party for his clients. Diamond Jim also had a passion for bike riding and he had his own very special bicycle: a gold plated bike with an alligator carrying case. Fascinated by a movie actress, he had a special bike made just for her. It had pearl handle bars and a mother of pearl seat. It was gold plated and covered with diamonds. Diamond Jim's extravagance extended to his eating habits. He was a gourmet who ate the finest food in great quantities. It was common for him to consume a twelve course meal and to eat several servings of each entry. He never drank Dr. James P. llodeclako Dr. Rodechko has collected these tales from newspapers, students, and alumni who send clippings to him which they find . He has so many of these stories that he admits he has a problem with keeping track of which stories he shares with which class. Another problem he says he has is that several of his former students became teachers on the secondary level and they share these stories with their classes. Students who come to Wilkes and have had these teachers come to Dr. Rodechko already knowing his stories. Dr. Rodechko earned his BA at Hoffspur University, Long Island, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. He came to Wilkes from Bowling Green University, Ohio, with his wife, Ginger, and two daughters, Jean and Amy. In 1968, he left for a year to teach at Bloomsburg State, then returned to Wilkes because he preferred this school. Dr. Rodechko likes Wilkes because it is a small school that encourages close relationships between faculty and students. He commented, however, that his being Department Head hampers his ability to form close relationships because he has less time. He participates in student events whenever asked because he enjoys it tremendously. He recently serv- alcohol, but enjoyed orange juice with his meals. He would go to great lengths to get a recipe. One particular restaurant wouldn't sell him the recipe so he tried to buy the restaurant . When this tactic failed , he hired a private detective to gain employment and get the recipe. What does all this teach us about history? Dr. Rodechko feels that it tells us something about American development, the industrial age, attitudes during that time, and the spending of money today. What does Dr. Rodechko's approach to teaching tell us? Perhaps it suggests that not all lectures need to be boring and "bookish. " So, if you want to know more about the interesting people and events of history ask Dr . Rodechko - or take a course he's offering.

Alumni House ANNOUNCEMENT Annette Evans Contributes Much To Wilkes by Doug Fahringer Many students are probably aware of the Annette Evans Alumni House located between Stark Learning Center and the Student Center. But what they probably don't know is after whom this quaint building is named. Miss Annette Evans was an outstanding contributer to Wilkes College in many areas. As a longtime member of the Board of Trustees, Miss Evans contributed greatly to the development of the College by devoting time, talent, and financial aid. However; Miss Evans did not restrict her activities to the College.

The women of Muhlenberg were the first to fall in a decisive victory for Wilkes, 73-5n. After finally getting the ball rolling, Wilkes again came out roaring in Saturday's game and defeated Lycoming, 72-60 . However, all the news was not good for the Lady Colonels for they also dropped games against Susquehanna, 87- 64, and Bloomsburg, 73-64 . The past week's action left the ladies with a 5-10 season record . Somewhat ashamed of their present record, this group of individuals silently vowed to redeem themselves. When they took to the court pride radiated from their eyes and desire from their hearts. One could only pity Muhlenberg, for they were totally unprepared for the beating they were about to receive. Wilkes first obtained the lead before the game officially began on a line-up technical. Charlene Hurst hit that first shot and throughout the entire game they never relinquished that lead . Kim Smith led the assault with tenacious defense and intelligant offense. By unleashing her patented turn-around jump shot and her underneath "in-your-face" shot, she kept the nets dancing throughout the evening. She emerged as high scorer with 27 points and 17 rebounds. Charlene Hurst, Kim's fellow assassin of the Muhlenberg Mules, showed no mercy for these poor beings. Her shots from the corners were deadly and totally baffled the enemy with their accuracy. When Muhlenberg finally came down on offense, they were forced to face five scrappy, snarling, and hungry individuals. If perhaps an opponent, in a moment of utter foolishness choose to risk the lane, she ran into 6'2" Beth Fascik. Beth politely made her eat the shot, and would send the opponent whimpering back down the court. Unfortunately for Wilkes, they had to pay a high price for victory. During the game, starting guard Karen Johnson was injured and will be forced to the sidelines for the remainder of the season. After returning to Wilkes-Barre, the women hosted Lycoming oq Saturday, Feb. 6. Lycoming strolled into the gym totally unaware of the boiling wrath that brewed inside. by Ellen van Riper The home court advantage has proven to be a disadvantage for the La?y Colonel~ on many occasions so far this season. This advantage is unwritten, and its source cannot be specifically located, but as every sports fan knows, it does exist. It has something to do with familiarity of surroundings ~nd the home fans . The home court· seems to also put an almost magical spell over many teams. The result has been numerous victories for home teams,some of which have been dramatic upsets of heavily favored opponents. Unfortunately.for the most part this spell has been broken by many of the Lady Colonels' opponents. Actually, the women have been given the whammy by the officials in more than one game. This jinx has been a contributing factor to some of the losses suffered by the team. No, this is not sour grapes or a plea for favoritism by the officials. It is a call for equality for both teams. If a team is going to lose, it is better to be beaten by an equal number of opponents. This inequality in the officiating has led Coach Roberts to comment that her team's "only advantage has been the baskets." The most blatant examples of this visiting team favoritism were the games against King's and Philadelphia Textile which were both losses, 68-55 and 57-56. As stated in last week's team article, King's has a free throw edge of 18 for 22 over the Lady Colonels' 3 for 5, and this was the difference of the game. This is a ridiculous disparity considering the fact that both teams were play!ng in an agg~essiv~ and physical manner. The Wilkes-King's rivalry mev1tably results m this type of contest, and it is a shame that only one team should be penalized. In contests involving rivals and which are highly emotional, it is absolutely crucial that the officials .call a fair game. The next atrocity occurred soon after, and it was not as flagrant as the other. However, it was just as costly for the Lady Colonels. This writer is naturally a bit biased towards the Wilkes' teams, but any observer of the contest could see the difference in the officiating. Wilkes was called for every incidental thing in addition to the regular no-doubt-about-it fouls. This is okay if the officials plan to call a close game. However, on the other hand, it must be called fairly as well . Textile had a field day under the backboards. They repeatedly reached over the shoulders of their opponents_to come away with numerous rebounds. This is illegal, but in this game 1t was legal for the Textile team, for no calls were made. The game may have still been lost had the officiating been fair, but why give a team an additional handicap to overcome? KEEFERS ARMY & NAVYLargest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the Valley.

Last week the Wilkes team travelled to Susquehanna, arid unfortunately had to play against five players and two referees. The odds proved to be too much. Despite the added weight of a girl climbing over her back, Kim Smith managed to score 27 points, and she was followed by Charlene Hurst with 19. On Monday, Feb. 8, Wilkes lost a hard-fought game to Bloomsburg State. The first half was back and forth, neither team really dominating the other. At the half Bloomsburg led 38-33. Coming out after halftime, Wilkes battled valiantly and gained a 3 point lead with 7 :46 left to play. However, excessive and repeated fouling proved to be the team's downfall . Controlling the tip, Wilkes quickly set up, scored, and started the contest in earnest. Karen Bove, somewhat subdued in Friday's game at Muhlenberg, came alive and carried the scoring for Wilkes in the first half. By using a combination of various fakes and dribbles, she tallied 13 points in the half. The ever reliable Kim Smith took it upon herself to control the boards. A sense of enjoyment overcame Kim as she tormented the opponents on defense, ripped down the ball, and calmly started the fast break. Overall she had 12 points and 20 rebounds. In the second half Wilkes, leading 37-25 but tired of playing around, got down to serious battie and brought their heavy artillery. Charlene Hurst finally unleashed and began what proved to be the fatal bombing of Lycoming. After i\tlde:te: 0JT1te:~ 1 the frightening fact that Kim ca~ only get better in the seasons to come. Coach Roberts has seen great improvement in Kim this season, and she attributes her development to mental maturity and a positive attitude. Kim is a "pleasure to coach" according to Roberts, for she is eager to learn and is dedicated to improving her skills to become as she says a "good all-around player." It appears as if Kim has already reached the plateau of the complete player, but she will still continue to improve her game. For instance, at the moment Kim is concentrating and perfecting her foul shooting, and she is also trying to be less nervous on the court. The little things are what separate the good players from those that are great. Naturally Coach Roberts is glad to have someone of Kim's ability on her team. However, she attributes most of Kim's success to her attitude and dedication. Once most players reach the level that Kim has, they decide that that is far enough. However, with Kim it is different. She will continue to work hard to improve her game, and during the next two years, Wilkes College will witness a player who is nothing short of outstanding. by Ellen Van Riper For a communications major, Kim Smith did not have much to say when informed of her selection as the Athlete of the Week. However, once she had gotten used to the idea, Kim remarked that since she was not the leading scorer, she thought that she would not be selected. A sophomore from Plymouth and a graduate of Wyoming Valley West, Kim has become a key player for the women's basketball team. The team has had some difficulty so far this season, but individually Kim has not. She leads the team in rebounding with a 15.2 average, and this figure ranks her fourth in the nation for Division III competition. In addition, she is the second leading scorer for the Lady Colonels. During the past week, the team beat Muhlenberg and Lycoming, but lost to Susquehanna and Bloomsburg. Kim had a simply tremendous week. She had 27 points in both the Susquehanna and Muhlenberg contests. Against Lycoming her point production fell a bit to 12, but she added 20 rebounds. Last Monday she played an overall solid game and had 23 points and 17 rebounds against Bloomsburg. Not bad for a player who is only a sophomore. This fact is a delight for Wilkes fans, but for ~e opposition, they are faced with Chuck Robbins...

The Colonels rolled up an impressive 8-1 slate earlier this year. They were 5-0 in the MAC . Then they traveled to Scranton, and lost. Since then , the Colonels have go ne 2-6 overall, 1-4 in the MAC. On Monday, the cagers fell to Muhlenberg 51 -49. It was he third Monday in a row that Wilkes lost by two points. Monday has brought bad luck to the team , but so has Scranton. Wednesday night's contest ap.:ainst the Royals proved to be no di ffe rent. The Colonels lost to Sc- anton again, this time by a 7 i ' !:imargin. With sweeps against ho[h Wilkes and King's this year, the Royals proved that they are the best team in the valley. The game against Scranton was of dire importance. The outcome put the Colonels record at 10-8 overa!J and 6-5 in the battle for second place and a playoff spot in the MAC. Saturday the Colonels travel to Madison, New Jersey to take on Fairleigh Dickinson in a crucial MAC contest. Wilkes has lost it's past '. ive games on the road. In other action, Wilkes lost at Muhlenberg despite a 15 point performance by Bob Antonelli. Kevin Walker added 12 more for Wilkes in the losing cause. The win put Muhlenberg's record at 6-19. It was the fourth game in the past seven where the Colonels lost by four points or less. In the first half, neither team could pull ahead as the largest leads were of four points. In the second half, Wilkes fell behind by seven with a littie more than eight minutes left. Led by Pat R:•lilich, the Colonels came back to tie the score at 45, but a Muhlenberg jumper with five seconds left proved to be the winning margin . On Saturday, Wilkes came out on the winning end of a no nleague matchup against Lycoming in the Wilkes gym . The Colonels controlled the contest fo r the most part on their way to a 60-4 fi victory. On Wed nesday, the Colonels dropped an 83-73 MAC contest to Susquehanna . Coach Reese To Be Honored Saturday Night Grapplers Bounce Back From Penn State Loss by Mark James After losing a heartbreaker to Penn State 24-19, the Wilkes College wrestling team bounced back last wee ke nd . to sw eep a quadrangular meet at Arm y. With a 36-12 handling of St. Lawrence, a 25-18 victory over Colum bia, and a 19-18 squeaker past Army, the Reesemen came away from Saturday's quadrangular with a 16-4 record . On Wednesday, Wilkes traveled to Bucknell to record a 33- (l decision. The victory was win number 17 fo r the Colonels, who will ho~t Lycoming tomorrow nigh t. Coach John Reese will be honored at Lycoming meet in recognition of his 300th victory. The victory came against East Stroudsburg State last December. In his 19 years of coaching, Reese has compiled an amazing 316-72-8 record . Very impressive. Wrestling action on "John Reese Day" will begin at 8:00 p.m. at the Franklin Street gym. Against Penn State, the Wilkes grapplers jumped out to an early lead only to see the Lions roar back in the heavy weighs to pull out the victory. After falling behind in team scoring 4-0 when 9th ranked Carl DeStefanis major decisioned Kris Rowlette, the Colonels won four consecutive matches to pull ahead by a 16-4 lead . Billy Dodge started it off with a major decision to tie the score. Dodge battled the pain of a sore elbow in his bout with State's Tom Macasevich, but he remained undaunted and rolled up the 12-3 victory at 126. In the 134 pound match, Kurt Rowlette brought the Wilkes faithful to their feet with a quick and thrilling pin of John Manotti in 2:04 . It was Rowlette's eighth pin in 12 victories. At 142, Lenny Nelson came from behind in the final period to chalk up an 11-4 decision over Gary Kraschak. In the 150 pound bout, Mark Popple continued his win streak with his 17th victo ry with an 11-5 decision over Eric Childs.

Stressing Personal Improvement Swim Team Still _ K icking Despite Losses by Mark James It hasn't been a banner year for the Wilkes College swim team . Coach Lewis' team is fairly young, unisex, and small. Many of the teams Wilkes competes with are all men's teams . The Colonels and Colonelettes are outnumbered in the number of entries in each event, and some events are dropped altogether, giving the com petition an even greater advantage. The situation is not hopeless , however. It just seems hopeless. As assistant Rob Doty explained, "Everybody on our team has improved since the first meet. They're improving personally . that's all we demand ." "It's a team of individuals . In an event, it's yo u out there swimming and nobody else. The team is there to cheer you on, and that's when the individuals really shine. " he added . In last week's meet against Susquehanna, Wilkes lost 69-37 , but the swimmers did shine individually.

Peggy Buch kavitz competed against all men as she swam to second place in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:48, the bf ,: for her this season.
