Although last year was the first time Wilkes University participated in the volunteer project, there were quite a few students who applied for this year's trip. 0 Planned Parenthood One may ask what it takes for a group of college students to give up their Spring Break to volunteer for people they hardly know. The students' explanations for wanting to help vary from a chance to improve "their [own] self value," to "being able to contribute to others less fortunate." Although the group has no idea of what to expect come March 12, when asked about last year's volunteer trip to Florida, senior Mike Holly found "that helpmg others was something I enjoyed and through this trip I learned a lot about myself and others.

There are ma ny differen t yuestions that arise and need to be answered when dealing with th is iss ue .. As with most controve rsia l subj ects there are a co uple of different opinions. Some viewers feel there is too m uch violence on TV and it sho uld be regulated by the tele visio n ne tworks and the government before it reaches the households. Others believe TV vi o lence should be left up to the viewer Lo detenn ine and reg ula te acco rding to the ir own personal preference. Unfortun ately their is no clear-cul way of dealing wi th this issue. (Is there ever one?). T he problem with the view that television should he reg ulated before it reac hes the households is that it takes away the viewer's freedom of choice. Many say that they should be able to watch whatever they want Lo. However, leaving viewing regulation up to individual watchers doesn't Lake into consideration today's youth. This last argument also has two sides. Some people would say that we, as a nation, must regulate and protect what our young viewers watch on TY . Others feel that the regulation or TV for young viewers should be up to the parents of the children. Finally, who is lo say that TV is violent in the first place? Why does the violence need lo he regulated? Is it because some people feel the violence on TV is affecting the violence in the world today? Is it because people are trying to hide from the reality of the violence in our society? Who is to say that TV violence has any influence over the way people (both adults and children) act? As you can see, there are many difficult decisions that need to be made regarding this issue. Whal is your opinion on this issue?

Anyone travelling through Stark Lobby on Tuesday can testify to the long waiting lines of this computer game. When students were asked if they were turned off by the wait, the answer was almost always no. Students received two tickets each to use on the machines. After students used their tickets there was a nominal fee. Students who really enjoyed Virtual Reality seemed to have no problem dishing out the extra dollar. All of the students I spoke to had neverexpe1ienced Virtual Reality and were anxiously awaiting their tum. A few of the comments from students were: " I'm a virgin, a Virtual Reality virgin; I'm pumped; This is cool, very cool; It's wild, awesome; This is better than that thing [computer music video simulation] that they [Programming Board] brought last time; I'm really excited."

Movie Review: "Other People's Money" a hit with the crowds By TOM MACKEWICZ Features Writer Although it was a huge hit on the big screen, few people realize that "Other People's Money," a seething black comedy about greed and a small town's futile attempts to protect against it, was a long-running hit on the New York stage as well. This past weekend Showcase Theater presented its revival of the Jen-y Sterner play . In the play, Lawrence Garfinkle is a New York take-over artist who has set his sights on New England Wire and Cable, a small-town industry run by 65-year-old Andrew Jorgenson. Not wanting to be a sitting duck, Jorgy' sable secondin-command Bill Coles hires a lawyer. Attorney Kate Sullivan is an attractive girl who happens to be the <laugh terofJ orgy's long-time lover Bea. Family grievances are aired as the corporate battle is waged. Kate not only fights with Garfinkle but also locks horns with the stubborn Jorgy as well. Kate falls for Garfinkle butGarfinkle' s ideas of love are strongly tested along the way. Eddie Reynolds delivered a strong standout perfmmance as the flashy and an-ogant New York take-over artist. Reynolds nearly stole the show as he fleshed out Garfinkle' s strengths and weaknesses. He was despicable, yet likable. Dawn Korvs made Kate Sullivan a pleasing character at every turn. Korvs shone as the attractive and gutsy chainsmoking young lawyer. Her scenes with Reynolds were some of the show's best. Sam Troy, although sometimes awkward in movement, was convincing as the old Andrew Jorgenson. Troy delivered a fine speech on oldfashioned business ethics. Russel Curtis delivered a sympathetic perfo1mance as Bill Coles as he kept the audience informed of the action and the needs of the average American. Over all "Other's Peoples Money" proved to be a hit for the Showcase Theater and all involved. Organize 15 fri and your trip i FREE!

Unable to escape from his opponent within 30-seconds, Fleisher lost his match and Wilkes lost the meet 20-17. Fleisher's loss in overtime marked the third time that day that a Wilkes matman went into overtime and lost. The loss leaves the Wilkes wrestlers with a losing streak of ten in a row. Hopefully that streak ended on the night of this p1inting, at a home match against East Stroudsburg. The Colonels next home match is Wednesday, February 16, at 7 :30. at three which moved them into sudden death. Still tied at three at the end of sudden death, they were forced into a 30-second rideout. This meant that the winner of a coin toss got to choose if he wanted control or not. If the wrestler in control stayed on top he won and if the wrestler on the bottom escaped from his opponent, he won. Fleisher won the coin toss and chose to be on the bottom. The first try Fleisher was able to escape from his opponent but the officials called the men out of bounds. Once again they got into his win with a pin and both Evans and Stout had a major decision. With three straight wins, the Colonels were up 17-6 and had hopes of ending their losing streak at nine. However, F&M came back strong winning two in a row to tie the meet at 17. With the score tied, heavyweights Heath Fleisher of Wilkes and Andrew Sharader of F&M stepped up to the mat, knowing that whoever won their match won their respective team a victory.

The Colonels came into the game with a 17-2 overall record and sole possession of first place in the Freedom League with an 8-1 mark. The Monarchs are 11-8 overall and 7-3 in league play. An interesting note to last night's match-up is that the last time the Colonels lost a game was back on January 20, when the Monarchs came into the Henry Gymnasium and beat the Colonels 73-66.

Tagnani, News Editor, c/o The Beacon at rn-2962 Adult learners go for the gold Before Dan Jansen there was E1ic Heiden. You remember him he won five gold medals in the 1980Winter01ympic games in speed skatmg. Back 111 1980 I thought he was the greatest thing to come along since peanut butter and jelly Poi Tarts. Eric retired from speedskating but he never really gave up the Olympic limelight. You can still sec him at the Olympics on CBS as the color commentator for w h at else, speedskating. I am the type of person who can never get too muc h of the Olympics, although I must confess that I have had more than my share or the Harding/Ken-igan story. While watching the Olympics this past weekend, I came to find out that, like myself and all of our other adult learn- student in college. Yes, America's winningest Olympic speedskater is also an adult learner. This got me to wondering how many other Olympic adult learner/athletes there are out there. Norway's Johann Olav Koss, who just this week won the gold medal in the men's 500m in speed.skating, is studying to be a doctor. From America, pairs' figure skater 26- year-old Jason Dungan is a student at the University or Michigan. In 1992 a guy by the name of Paul Wylie, at the age of 27, was finishing up his senior year at Harvard and at the same time earning a silver medal in men's figure skating in the Olympics. After taking a short break Wylie will be going back to school to earn his law degree. If you are watching the Olympics take a look at the people over the age of 24 who are competing and also going to school. There seems to be at least these athletes are doing is no easy task. They're getting up early every morning to train, going to classes, and returning back to train in their respective sport. Let's not forget that somewhere in between classes, practice and competition these people are (are .you ready for this'!) studying!!! By no means is it easy, but they're doing it. Just like in all of our cases, the pressures are also there for these Olympic athletes. They have the pressures of bills, family, studies and competition. Also remember that some of these athletes do need to earn some money. They, just like us, also work through their pressures and problems. They too depend on their families and peers for support and encouragement. That's why it's so sad to see someone fall and be eliminated or drop a few places in the standings. They worked so hard for that one moment. To think of all the training these athletes put in, and then to hear some of them also go to college, is incredible. I find it hard enough just going to school and working a part time job, never mind training to go to the Olympics or anything else for that matter. My point here is that if you put your mind to it nothing is too hard. We may not have the same pressures that the traditional student<; have, but we do have pressures and most or the time they are far from few and not always easy. Look at the E1ic Heidens, Jason Dungens and Paul Wylies of the world. They may be just the thing that you need. Imagine, E1ic Heiden a college student. Studying to be a doctor at the age of 35. When most doctors are reti1ing will just be starting out. In 1980 he was older than me and now we are in the same situation doing the same thing. If he can do it, I can do it too.

Also, there is the question of what does r Nature have in store for us in the future? When it comes to snow and the decision of what to do classes, I think it is obvious when every other school in area is cancelling that we here at Wilkes, should cancel This past Friday (Feb. 11) was ridiculous. While all of the es re inf :z Ka of M at 83 PAGES FORUM tions. 978, the • ~•nee 1>0 sl 17, 1994 ls in the area had cancelled school before 7 a.m., Wilkes no action at all.

(Even 98.5 KRZjumped and said that Wilkes was cancelled in the morning with all of the rest of the schools.) Most of the roads in and around Wilkes-Barre were not cleared and meanwhile the snow continued to fall.

The Wilkes University men ' s basketball has swept the season series with Scranton for the first time in a long time. Hearty congratulations go out to Coach Rickrode and the rest of the team. They have brought back much of the athletic pride that Wilkes had lost over the years. I have had the pleasure of broadcasting both the men's and women's team this year. Along with my tag team partner Michael Noone, I was amazed and entertained by the quality of basketball that has been played this year. The amazing thing is the youth of these teams. The ladies will only lose one senior,and the young team played superbly this year. The heartbreaker against Delaware Valley this past Saturday was very tough to take, but the b1ight light remains: the girls will he tough to heat next year. As for the men, well, what can you say'! If you had the pleasure of seeing the performance against Del Val, you saw the high-flying athletic talent at its maximum. If you had the pleasure of listening to the radio broadcast, you heard Mike and myself speechless - which is quite a feat for us. If all went well last night against FDU-Madison, then the Colonels are at a plateau of 20 wins, which has been rare. It all starts at the top and Coach Rickrode and Coach Haag have not only coached h1illiantly, but also recruited masterfully. Playoffs, anyone'! Speaking of sports, you fans of college basketball were hopefully shocked and appalled by the run-in between John Chaney and John Calipari after the UMass-Temple game on Sunday. After a close win, it was overheard that Calipari was complaining ahout the officiating. So Mr. Chaney took matters into his own hands by walking into Mr. Calipari's press conference and screaming at him. When Calipari tried to respond, Chaney told him to "shut up" and then said 'Tl! kill you." Next game, Chaney has promised that his players will go after the UMass players. The President of Temple University brushed off the incident, and when interviewed by ESPN, said that the network should he pleased by the incident, because it will boost the ratings for the rematch, to he carried by ESPN. Classy bunch. Now on to truly classy people. The Chatter was saddened to hear of the passing of President Breiseth's mother on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Breiseth family as they cope with this great loss. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. ~ Organized Anarchy By JOSEPH RAE Columnist Two weeks ago, 68 people died in a Sarajevo market, slaughtered as they tried to carry on with their lives. The cowards in the hills did it. And they'll do it again. Life in Bosnia will go on. And we, the West, have failed. Over 22 months have passed since Yugoslavia erupted into civil war. In that same time, we have filled the international scene with empty promises. But now, we promise to do something, anything. Air strikes, lifting the arms embargo against the Muslims, anything to stop the siege. Too little, too late. Way too late. We failed. And we will he paying the p1ice of that failure for years to come. Because if anyone believes this will stop in the Balkans, they're sorely mistaken. Every two-hit leader with is eyes on the property next door is watching. And planning. And he knows the West will do nothing. We may have won the Cold War, hut we're losing the peace. The fall of the Berlin Wall simply meant the closing of one door and the opening of another. But we have never acknowledged that fact. And probably won't, until it's too late. The world today is a rather scary place. North Korea, South Africa, the Middle East, Russia ... Bosnia could be just the beginning.

Last semester, the Orga. ·tional Communications s, with direction from inctors Dr. Jane Elmesrahall, Communications partment, and Scott fish, Director of Instituonal Research, sent surveys l!asample of full-time commuter students. About what, you ask? s rs Parking, or the lack thereof, at Wilkes. Although people who receive surveys through the mail might find it tiresome to fill them out and return, the amount of work the organizational communications student~ put into the survey far exceeds the amount of effort to fill it out. Conducting a survey is a common way to audit specific groups of people, but it is actually a fairly complex research procedure in communications. The students chose to survey commuter students over outside topics from lo- cal corporations. The students saw parking as an escalating problem at Wilkes, especially with the campus completion plan. The class had many brainstorming sessions on the topic and decided to elaborate and refine the parking issue. Because of the data Elmes-Crahall had available to her as a member of the Recruitment and Retention Task Force, the students were aware of studies indicating that commuter students are often out of the loop, uninfo1med about campus activities and less in- volved than on-campus student~ in University activities. The class then devised questions to discover who commuters are, what their needs are and how they receive information and communication from Wilkes. The survey, which is five pages long, is actually three times shorter than it once was. Included in the survey are many opportunities for the students to offer suggestions on how to improve problems at Wilkes. Although most people feel their opinion won· t count, this survey does mat- ter a great deal. Unlike all other university-generated surveys, this one was a student-initiated project whose results, if complete and sound, will be brought to the attention of the administration. The organizational communications group is hoping for strong survey results. For those of you who received a survey, but didn't return it, additional copies can be picked up and returned to the Institutional Research Center on the third lloor of Weckesser Hall. 7 �PAGES F ElllWARY ROVING RI: PORT I: R 17, 1994 By LYNNMARIE ROSENCRANCE Features Editor Do you think Wilkes' compressed schedule and class cancelation during inclima weather is timely and effective? me 111 Cathy Kobilinski Nancy Kulikoski No, they wait too long.

Wilkes could share a tie for fourth place with a win tonight. On Thursday, February 10, the Lady Colonels played host to Marywood College and racked up their fourth straight win in a six-day span. Itseer:ied like Coach Karen Haag's young squad had matured and stepped up a notch after losing all but one of their upperclassmen leaders. Three sophomores took control and showed what they were capable of in the game against Marywood. Sophomore Michelle Shaffer led all scorers with her career-high 24 points. She also added solid play by accumulating seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Lee Ann Azarewicz also gave the Lady Colonels a solid performance, poming in 16 points, a game-high 11 rebounds, and six assists. Jamie Land hit doubles with 15 points, seven boards, two assists and three steals. But on Saturday, February 12, the Lady Colonels winning streak came to a crashing halt with a 52-51 loss to Delaware Valley at the Marts Center. The loss also hurt, but did not end any hope of a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) playoff berth for the Lady Colonels. Going into the half, Wilkes held a five point lead over Del Val , 30-25. However, the Aggies sparked in the second half or play and went on a 13-5 run to take the lead, 38-36. With :06 left on the clock, the Wilkes Lady Colonels had one last try for a victory as Melanie Falkiewicz of Del Val missed the front end of a one and Olm one. Azarewicz got the rebound and drove the length of the court to try and score. However, Azarewicz was tied up by three Aggies as the buzzer sounded. One of the bright spots on the evening was given to the Lady Colonels by sophomore Amy Kuzmic. Kuzmic had a career high 14 points and 19 11 lHIOMlE rebounds. Also receiving double figure status was Shaffer who WlililCIE chipped in with 15 points. The Lady Colonels wrap up the season with two games on tlie road.

Instead, we'll have our own version of law and order. First, the order. Once again, police have been felled by the videotape. Except this time, it was their cmnera. I'm sure we've all seen the footage of t11e two men who were apprehended for oulstm1ding tickets. After their cm· was stopped, one mm1 cooperated and one did not. , While the cooperative one was stm1ding t11ere in hm1dcuffs, the other m,m was told first to get !Kl then lie flat.

History seemed to repeat it- vent.' a key s, dir eat W uate f ing 16. The Colonels w· hope that the NCAA · a quality programw· alld will select them tournament. If not, the nels must decide ifthey participate in the EC nament. Congratulati to the follow· men's who were na to the MA self on Thursday as FDU broke out to a 15-2 lead. At the half the Lady Colonels cut the lead to just nine. However, FDU-Madison collected their troops and pulled out another victory, defeating the Lady Colonels 65-50. Leading the Lady Colonels in the scoring column was sophomore Lee Ann Azarewicz, who collected another douhle-douhle with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

To involve the students, IABC has developed various workshops, which begin at 1:30pm. The workshops include several Wilkes alumni and others working in the Wilkes-BaITe/Scranton area, who are now involved in various aspects of advertisingand the communications fields.

Steve Moloski and the 19 Dwarfs come up with win Once again, this year's unusually harsh winter threw a kink in weekend plans for students. Over 450 students planned on participating in Winter Weekend activities this past weekend, but bitter cold temperatures and, uh , some system-wanning liquids convinced many to forego the competition and remain inside. The event is the biggest Student Government-sponsored activity of the spring semester. Traditionally, turn-out by stuoents is high. F1iday night was no exception. Almost all 25 teams competed in the Banner and Spi1it Contest. Most came back for their first volleyball game. However, temperatures · in· the low 20's on Saturday kept many teams away from Ralston Field to compete in events like the batspin and the amoeba. Even on Sunday, when the games were held inside the Marts Center, only about 100 students were on hand to compete. "Our team didn't come back in the afternoon on Saturday hecause we felt it was too cold to be waiting so long in between the events," said senior Joe Finn, a member of Captain Kegman. The weather did have at least one positive effect on this year's Winter Weekend. Because of all the snow on the ground, the tray race, a familiar event in the 1970's, was revived. A spinoff on the wheelbanel race, competitors used a cafeteria tray to push one of th eir team members, ·- cont'd on p. 4 · Wilkes University will host an Open House on Saturday, March 5, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for interested student<,; and their families.

Another outrage of the night was the illusttious Bono. The IeadsingerofU2 proceeded to say" F@ !#" the music indus try as he accepted his award in front of millions of people. Later he did make a public appology saying he was soITy for offending anyone. The only thing that bothers me about Bono and U2 is that they used to be a great hand. What happened to them? All I have to say is " F@!#" Bono! There still is hope for our favorite performers to win. There will be The People's Choice Awards. Hopefully, there won ' t be any mention of the Disney movie Alla din or the other ever popular soundtrack from the Bot~vgaurd They say the race for best band is between Aerosmith , Guns & Roses and Pearl Jam.

Sincerely, Christopher N . Breiseth President IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist You can come out now . It's safe. TI:ie games of the umpteenth Olympiad are over. But they did not go quietly into that good night. From a United States standpoint, the games were very successful. We can skate, we can whine, and our hockey team will have to wait tcir another miracle, which would require God to play goalie. And He's weak on the stick side. But at least we had our darling figure skater, the lovely Nancy Kerrigan. It seems the little snot had a moment of nastiness (no!) following the final skate last Friday. What happened was there was a slight delay in getting gold medalist Oksana Baiul to the medal sta nd . The reason ror this delay was that the people in charge were having difficulty in locating the Ukranian national anthem. 13ut hey, which one of us could? The Columbia Broadcasting System mistakenly told viewers that the reason for the wait was that the lo vely Oksana Baiul was back reapplying makeup. Nancy must have thought this as well, as she was overheard saying "Oh, come on. So she's going to get out here and cry again. What's the difference?" Now there are many theories as to why Nancy said such a thing . My favorite is that it was Tony;-_ Harding's voice and they just got Nancy to move her lips. How? The Mister Ed technique, which works for most three-year-olds : they put peanut butter on Nancy's gums. Maybe she was questioning her role in the new series of Revlon commercials with Cindy Crawford, Tonya and Nancy as "The Good, the 13ad, and the Ugly" (respectively). Or maybe her hair was pulled back a little too tight. Call this what you will, but the bottom line is that tl1is wonderful young lady with a tragic story was just a spoiled little witch who got her knee knocked (and not very well obviously) and became our only medal hope after we realized that the other American skater smokes unfiltered Camels and works on her car for fun . The real story which those goofs at CBS overlooked was Ms. Baiul , who lost both of her parents to cancer and is only sixteen years old. And her tears, Ms. Kerrigan , were because she was overwhelmed at what the Olympics sl1ould be: the never-ending practices paying off with a medal. So while Nancy skipped Saturday's closing ceremony to ride shotgun with Mickey (and get paid handsomely), there was a sixteen year-old champion from the Ukraine who represented both the dream of the Olympics and the American dream better than anyone. For me, Oksana, not some overhyped ice princess, is the true hero of these games. And a wonderful young lady as well. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week.

Wilkes alumni employees William R. Miller, '81, Shari Salsbury, '92, and Meg Fallin, '93, interviewed juniors for summer internships and graduating seniors for the company's management training program . Miller holds the title of director and general manager of the flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York City. He believes FAO Schwarz is a great place to begin a person's career and with seven new stores opening there are opportunities for graduating students throughout the co untry. FAO Schwarz, the store, was founded by Frederick August Otto Schwarz (It's no wonder why he used his initials. Can you imagine trying to write that name o ut on a check?) in 1864 in Baltimore, Maryland. He later moved his operations to New York in 1870 and the store has been growrng ever srnce. With 20 branch stores nationwide and another seven on the way, FAO Schwarz provides personal shopping and also mail order with delivery anywhere in the world. With ·the customer as their top priority, FAO Schwarz has earned the distinction of the "ultimate toy store." FAO Schwarz will be coming back again later in the semster for those of you who missed them this time around.

At the beginning of the '93'94 season Haag had high expectations for her squad and what coach in her position wouldn't'! Haag was returning four starters and a number of players who saw quality minutes on the floor and had key roles in the past season. She also had a strong nucleus of freshmen recruits coming 111. However, it seemed the Lady Colonels were "jinxed" from the first few weeks of pre-season conditioning. First of all, some recruits didn ' Lpan out and some people decided against coming out for the team. Next, the second leading scorer from the ' 93-'94 season, Stacey Boyer, was lost Head Coach Karen Haag. due to a serious back injury. Then, in the middle of the season, Colleen McGarry and Kristen McNally both suffered injmies which prevented them from seeing any action for the remainder of the season. This past season was tough for the Lady Colonels and the coaching staff, especially because they had just come off of one of the best seasons ever in the history of women's baskethall al Wilkes University. Last year' s team broke several team · records, worked hard all season for their 18-8 record, the best in the history of the program, and won the ECAC championships. The change from last year's team to the Lady Colonels of this year was impressive. This year, the freshman played a major role in the coaching staff's game plan. "Some of thi)se freshmen worked very hard. They stayed late every night to work on individual things . They seemed so eager to learn all they could," said Haag. And from what I saw, while the lack of confidence of being a freshmen was present, the girls made up for it in their constant hard work. During our conversation, I asked Coach Haag about her accomplishments and ·goals this year. One thing she stressed was the growth of her young team. With an offensive system in place for only two years, "we [the coaching staft] finally saw that click when the offense was run ." Another thing Haag was impressed with was rebounding. At one point during the season, the Lady Colonels "big man" was 5' 8" Amy Kuzmic. Everyone else averaged 5'6" and under. "That was guts and hussle," Coach Haag replied about her team's amazing rebounding ability this past season. Haag believes she learned a lot about the character or her team this season. "It's easy to make things happen when everything is going well. One of the things I was most proud of was that no one pointed fingers. The players took responsibility and didn't try to blame each other or the coaching staff when things didn't go our way." Haag added that in fact, "they [the team] tiied harder to find solutions and work more. For freshmen and sophomores this impressed the hell out of me. It proved their loyalty program and each n Lastly, Coach H pleased with the atti her bench. "They p vital contributions," put it. And as I saw Lady Colo nels bench volved, vocal and sup of whoever was on the at the time. It seems like the reckoned wi th next · coaching staff is tryi to sign, the '94- '95 looking brighter. Haag has leamedo important lesson. "I the hard way that you really coun t on anyth· What we can co however, is Coach H· All-time Super 16 Wrestling team named WILKES-BARRE Ten former Wilkes University wrestling greats were honored on Saturday night by being named to the Super 16 (Years) Wrestling team dming a dinner celebrating John Reese's 500th win. The Super 16 team honors those who wrestled for the Colonels from 1978 to 1994. The Colonels had previously honored a Silver Anniversary team for those who had wrestled from 1953 to 1978. Named to the team at 118 pounds was Dennis Mejias' 88; at 126 pounds Bryan Billig' 80; Andre Miller' 87 at 134 pounds; Lenny Nelson '83 at 142 pounds; Mark Popple '83 at 150 po unds; Mike Schroat '90 at 158 pounds; Craig Rome' 88 at 167pounds; BartCook'80at 177 pounds; Rick Smith '81 at 190 pounds; and Steve Schannauer '89 at heavyweight. "The wrestlers that we honor as members of the Super 16 team represent the finest from the Division I era al Wilkes," said coach John Reese. "They were class young men then and remain so today," Reese commented . "They will always be remembered as one of the best ever to wear a Wilkes singlet." Of the ten wrestlers hon ored, Mejias, Miller and Nelson were All-Americans, while the others were all EIW A placewinners. n �MARCH 3, 1994 P AGE Wilkes names wrestling room in honor of John Reese WILKES-BARRE On the occasion marking his S!Klth win as a collegiate wreslling coach, Wilkes University has named the wrestling room at the Marts Sports and Conference Center the John G.

The matmen led only once during the meet, but it was only by 8-7 and that was not enough to hang on to the win for Reese's team. With only E1ic Strunk, John Klessinger, and senior Mike Evans, who was wrestling his final regular season meet, winning their matches the matmen had no way to stay on top. Ending their season with a record of 10-13 marked the second losing season in just 41 years for Coach Reese. The matmen will now participate in the EIW A Championship at Cornell University F1iday and Saturday. Those on the team who qualify will then go on to the NCAA Championships at the University of North Carolina on March 18 and 19. And like everything else in this world so ends the Wilkes wrestlers 1993/94 season. It was a season of losing streaks and winning streaks. Luckily , it was a season of relatively few in_jmies and a season in which Coach Reese received his 500th career win. A season in which there was little to complain about.

When asked what they look for in a _joh applicant, the panelists agreed they would rather hire someone with a 3.0 GPA who was involved in a large numher or extracurricular activities than someone with a 4.0 GPA who did nothing. They all encouraged internships. _A_s far as finding ajuh goes, Podany gave this advice, "If you do tail, use 1t as a stepping stone. It is important to he determined and not let failure stop you."

Because her father could not care for her, Mojica was sent to live with her grandmother. As she grew older, it was difficu lt for her grandmother to handle ,her. She ran away from home after several disagreements with her grandmother. Upon her return, Mojica was placed in foster care and hecame a ward of the court. Placed in a detention center with approximately 50 other girls, she found herself in the company of drug addicts and c1iminals. After three years in the detention center, Mojica convinced her case worker that she did not belong there. She was transfeITed to a smaller home for Helena Jienez Mojica two years and was eventually allowed to return home to begin the 11th grade. The New York City School District placed Mojica in the 10th grade. She was very frustrated, but decided to continue her education. School in the city was very dangerous. Mojica had to deal with vioJenee, weapons and drugs each day. She was !"tightened and discouraged,andatage 17 decided that it just wasn't worth the effort. She was not doing well in school because of a language deficiency. When Mojica was a child, the primary language in her home was a Puerto Rican dialect of Spanish. She was placed in bilingual classes when she entered school, but could not understand her lessons or the Spanish her instructors spoke. HerEngljshproficiencywas minimal. By the time Mojica was 18 years old, she was the mother of · 11 a d.1sab·1· a son wit 1 1ty. He requires braces to walk and will eventually require surgery so that he may walk. They moved frequently, staying with relatives. Mojica moved to Wilk~sBa!Te in 1992 to get away from the city and provide a safer environment for her son. She also wanted to rest,me her education. Ente1ingAdultLiteracy Program and GED classes, co-spnnsored by the Luzerne Intennediate Unit#l8 and the Luz~rne County Human Resources Department, Mojica took and failed the GED test. She was referred to ,the SPOC II Program, sponscred by the LIU #18, the Luzerne County Human Resources De- partment, and Wilkes University, which specializes in individual instruction for students with serious deficiencies in reading and math. After seven months of tutoring, Mojica was transfe1Ted to the SPOC GED classes. On her third try, she passed the test. Mojica persuaded her boyfriend to return for his GED, and also encouraged her sister to return to classes. Mojica and her boyf1iend graduated at the Seven th Annual Adult Literacy GED Graduation Ceremony in 1993. Since graduation, they have manied and are both currently attending Luzerne County Community College. She would like to pursue a career in Child Development. The Pennsyvania Department of Education recently named Mojica as one of 10 Outstanding Adult Students.

Somehow it does not seem possible. With the cancellation or classes due to the snow it seems like we have barely gotte n anything accomplished . What is going to happen when it comes time for mid-terms and finals and we haven ' t had enough time to get anywhere let alone be tested on anything? This isn't like high school (thank God) where the school can keep us until the end of June to make up for lost time. The 1ui1ion we pay is good for a certain time period. If we increase 1he time pe1iod we increase the tuition. ( I for one am not going IO shell out anymore money than necessary!) Don't get me wrong. I love having classes cancelled. And for safety's sake it is important whe n it comes to commuters and professors who live off campus. I love to be able to sleep in and watch my soaps, hut irI really wanted to do that I would save the 15+ grand and stay home. Old Man Winter (where ever he is) is watching us and laughing.

IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist 'Twas the week before spring break, and all through tilt.: col!L:gt.:. this (insert your own colorful adjectivt.: ht.:rt.:) snow is imrll:ding our know!L:dgt.: . Enough poetry. On to the chatter. The campus here at Wilkes was enlightened hy tilt.: prt.:scnct.: or tilt.: Honorahle Ciencvive Blatt. senior judge, PA Commonwealth Court. This past Monday. tht.: Wilkt.:s Univnsity Faculty Women's Conference held it's second annual Women's Day Conference. Bdort.: you get the opportunity to ask why I was tht.:rt.:, I' 11 tell yuu a little about Judge Blatt. Now most or her vital statistics will he covered dscwhert.: in this week ' s Beacon. But the one which hears rcpt.:ating is that silt.: graduated rrom law school in the l lJ'.\0s. Which is absolutely amazing, especi ally when you consider tht.: dirliculty women had in being considered equal at the time. Whatever you do, however, don 't ask Genevive Blatt to sing thcsccondchorusofthc ''Woe is Mc" song. When asked if she feels women have attained equality or salary, position. etc.. the Judge (yes. capital ".I") responded, "No, they haven't. But should they?" Now hdort.: either or my rcadt.:rs gt.:t his/her shorts in a bunch, what the Judge was so eloquently saying with so few words was that tilt.: equality or opportunity is there. Her whole message centered around the cry to ''help out." regardless or sex, race. etc. (~overnmcnt is in continual need of good people. Especially those that can destroy documents, right Bill'! But I digress . The Judge was appealing to the yout.h to make a difference in the community. You never know what you can do until you try. And although it sounds like a clichc. it hears listening to ror one important reason . In a country where generations sometimes appe ar to care very little roreach other (sec also: tht.:sc kids today, or those senior citizens), for a person in her eighties to ex press conct.:rn ror the youth, and to t.:ncouragc them never to tire, hecause they are ta!L:nted and worthy t.:nough to do anything they damn wdl please in this world, is atthe very least refreshing. Judge Blatt chost.: to rocus on the college students in the room, knowing full well from her years in politics and behind the bench thal we arc the ruturc. and all someone needs is a push. Just like 111e one she received when she was first starting her career. What a wonderful woman. Real quick now: Spring Break t.:xcrcise. Close all the curtains. turn the heat on high, gt.:t in shm1s and a T-shirt ('.\-wood optional), and rt.:pcat after me: ·' t' m in F1 >rt I ,a udcrdale. I ' 111 in Fort l ,audcrdale. I' 111 in Fort Lauderdale." Say this until you arc convinct.:d. Then go slmvd some more snow. That 's all for now. Have an enjoyahlc spring hrt.:ak. and wt.:'11 chat again upon our return . Letters to the Editor Dear Editor and the Wilkes University Community: The past three Saturdays have been very hectic in the Admissions Office. On two of those Saturdays we.interviewed Trustee candidates, and on March 5. we had a very successful turnout for our Open House. On behalf of the Admissions Staff, I want to thank the students, faculty, and administration, and especially the ABM crews who si mpl y did an outstanding job in getting the campus ready under difficult circumstances. I hope everyone enjoys the spring break and, again, thank you very much. Emory P. GutTrovich, Jr. Dean of Admissions Dear Editor: A Blood Stained Sky The first day of spring is approaching us.

I encourage you to educate yourself and learn ahout the advantages or a vegetarian diet. Consider the rollowi ng stat isl ic quoted in John Roh bins' hook Diet fora New America: number or people who could he adequatdy red by the grain saved if Americans reduced their intake of meat by IO percent : 60 million.

Well folks, iLs; hasehall season again, and once again I have a reason to trudge through another foot of snow. So, for this week, hefore I offer a human sac1ifice to Mother Nature, I'll try to brighten everyone's spirits hy previewing the 1994 Major League baseball season. For those of you that have heen on Neptune for the past year, first, congratulation, and second, you might have heard that the MLB has gone to a six division fonnat, with one wildcard playoff team in each league. Granted Personally, I don't care very much for the new system, although it should add some Septemher excitement for many fans. Also 1994 brings new labor tensions to hasehall, again the threat or a strike looms. Looking at the divisional races, the real treats this year should he both Eastern Divisjon races. I like the Orioles in the East, with a fairly solid pitching staff and the incredible jewel of the East, Camden Yards, to play in. (If you ever have the chance to visit Camden Yards, plea.-,e go it's simply incredihle.) The main challenge to the O's will he the Yankees, also with a solid pitching staff thanks to the addition or Terry Mulholland . Those dreaded Blue Jays will he solid contenders, hut i very much douht they'll have a chance at three in a row. In the N.C. East, the race hetween the Braves and the Phillies is simply tc, close to call. I'll give the edge in pitching to the Braves, hut the edge in hitting and team unity to the beloved Phillies. (By the way, t those who may scoff at my predictions, I did pick the Phillies to 94 last year. Se1iously.) Whoever finishes second in the East will get the wild card. I still feel Montreal is a year or two (and a pitcher or two) away from a September run. NL Central - I sort of like Houston . I hear they got a good hit closer over the winter. NL West - Giants in a cakewalk AL Central - White Sox (with #45 Jordon, in August), also, in a walk. AL West - Rangers , although look out for Pinella 's Ma1iners. In the series, I predict an eastern shutdown, Oriels and,of course, the Phillies (another I-95 se1ies, anyone'') And the winner, please ..... Phils in six . But, the again, I say that every year.

D49 THE BON•TON Congratulations to the winter sports teams �M ARCH 10, 1994 SPORTS Colonels upset in ECAC semi-fin By DAVID McCABE Sports Editor A tale of two hair's could be the Litle of Saturday's nights East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) championship semi-finals, as the Wilkes University men's haskethall teams 1993-94 season came Lo a stunning halt when the Colonels were shocked hy the Frosthurg State Bohcats hy a score of 67-62. hair, scrning 15 points in the hair alone. Seniors Chris Patackis and Jay Turman had seven and six points respectively in the opening frame. Wilkes also shot the hall well in the hair, shooting 50 percent, while holding the Bohcats to just 31 percent. But you must play all forty minutes in college haskethall, and the Colonels came out of the locker room a very cold hall cluh. Ironically, the Bohcats were the same team that ended the foothalls teams season hack in the rail or last year. The Co lonels were hoping to prove a point to the NCAA committee who snuhhed them of a invitation to the tournament despite the best record in the school's history. In the first half, the Colonels got off to a rocky start, but were able to put things back together, taking a 37-25 halftime lead into the lockeroom. Sophomore Ch1is Parker was the big gun in the first In the second half, it was the Bohcat's shooting the hall at a 50 percent clip, while the Colonels shot _just 33 percent. The hig story however was the Colonels, who are usually a very good outside shooting team, hitting just 2 of 22 from the three point arc. The Bohcats came out hot, led hy Jason Simms' 16 second half po ints , and outscored the Colonels 42-25 in the second half, enroute to the five point victory. For the Colonels, it was Parker and Patackis leading all scorers with 17 apiece, while freshman Eric Davis _just missed doubles with nine points. Freshman Tim Burlew had a steady game, pulling down 10 rebounds, to go along with his three points. Patackis also played strong on the boards with nine caIToms. Although Wilkes' season ended on a down note, this years Colonels could hold their heads up high. Not only did the Colonels have the best record in school's history , they proved to the rest of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) that they are a team to he reckoned with . Although the Colonels will say goodbye to five seniors, Turman, Patackis, John Harlan, Phil Marko, and Matt McCaffrey, they have a lot of players who saw a significant amount of playing time this season. So the Colonels will be hack in the hunt for a MAC title next season. The final numbers on the Colonels this season look like this. Parker was tops in scoring with 13 points per game, with Tunnan a close second at 12.8 a game. Davis finished al a 11.2 clip, with Patackis scoring at a 10.6 pace. Marko and Harlan both averaged seven points a game, while Nikia Tillman and Dave Maci.:do a six and 5.2 points tively. Patackis li.;d the nels in rebounding wi game, while thi.; you Davis pulled down game. Davis also team in blocki.;d sh 33.

The Colonels sent 10 wrestlers to the championships, but were only able to pick up seven wins. The Colonels came in 13 place and and wereahle to have one wrestler place in the tournament. Wilkes' hest showing on the day came from Barry Yan Scoten who picked up four wins for the Colonels, good for fourth place. Other wrestlers picking up wins were, Nelson Perera at 118 pounds, who finished with a 2-2 record on the day, and heavy weight Heath Fleisher, who came up short in his first match, hut was able to get a win, before falling in the second round in the losers hracket. On the season, the Colonels finished with a l 0-13 overall record, despite having key wrestlers hurt for most of the year.

Thanks to the wann weather and melting snow the schedules are running nonnal once more. Just as our minds and schedules are getting back to normal, we re alize: AH, it's time for Easter Break! (Student..;,who live two or more hours away, follow this statement with: "Residence Halls close? You mean I have to drive/go home again?") Is there a reason why we are on spring break for a week, we come back for a week and three days and then we go on Easter break again for three days? By the time we get back there will he very little school left. Last year, we got back from Ch1istmas hreak at the end of January and then had a winter hreak in the middle of February. Then we had spring break in mid April and came back two weeks before finals. Why does this school insist on having hreaks so close together? Couldn't we come back from Christmas break towards the end of January, have our Winter break in the end of February or first of March and then Spring Break/Easter break together so we can still have a couple of weeks between each break? By having breaks so dose together it is hard to get motivated to do work. It makes it even harder since we had so many snow days this semester. It seems like we have hardly heen in class. Yet, it's time to start pre-registration and registration with advisors and at the Registrar for next semester. Everyone has to register except for all of the crazed students with senioriLis who are counting the days until graduation. * * * * * Getting off the subject and on to more pressing matters. For those of you who happen to be faithful Days of-Our Lives fans, this has heen a sad week. One of the few original actors left on the show has died. MacDonald Carey, who played Dr. Horton and who was also the announcer during the opening credits, passed away at the beginning of the week due to cancer. He will be deeply missed hy his family, friends, fellow actors and especially his fans.

IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist This week, the Chatter ran into a dose of mild writer's hlock. The other day, l asked one of my loyal readers for subject matter for this week ' s column . She suggested my usual opening lines of welcome, so without further ado ... Weko1n'e back . Hope your spring hreak was sunny, warm, and relaxing. But where do we go from here? A hevy or topics were discussed , from Harding ' s pica to North Korea's nuclear weapons. All indications, however, pointed to March Madness, or the NCAA Tournament. More than one person has stated that the tail-end or their spring hrcak consisted of four straight days of basketball. Is it just a coincidence that Wilkes had a hrcak the same week as the first two rounds of the tournament? I don't think so. With the Spring Break, I was unahle to give to you, faithful reader, my Final Four picks. That was a blessing. They were (and I emphasize were) North Carolina, Kentucky, Cincinnati (stop laughing!) and Michigan. In one sense, I'm still alive; I firmly helicvc that Michigan will make it to the title game. But hey, I've been wrong before. The tournament did provide its usual excitement. Y ct the Challcrjust wouldn't he the Chatter without taking someone to task. This week's victim is a victim hccause he t1icd (in vain) to diminish one of the greatest upsets in modern times. Dean Smith, head coach or Carolina, drop and give me ten. Instead of giving Boston College their propers for a well played game, Coach Smith focused on a hard foul committed hy Danya Ahrams, a freshman for BC. Smith said that he made his players aware that Mr. Abrams has hccn known to he a dirty player, and it was too bad that he had to ruin the game. I'll tell you what's too bad. It ' s too had that a legend or the game had to resort to whining ahout one play. Yes, it was a hard foul. But if anything, it gave Carolina the angry, emotional hoost they were looking for, a boost that Coach Smith could not provide. Carolina' s hig men , E1ic Montross and Rashe~d Wallace, are also big babies who throw their weight around under the haskct; hut when they get pushed, look to the refs for a foul call. When people look hack on this North Carolina team, they will be dumbfounded as to how Dean Smith couldn't win with all t➔ f this talent. Just like he won only one title with a threesome of Michael Jordan, James Wortl\y, and Sam Perkins . Coach O'Brien of Boston College is Lo he applauded. His reaction to Dean 's crying was, "We just had the best basketball win probably in the history of BC and we have to defend ourselves against this? Will .somebody please give these kids some credit'!"' Good idea. That's all for now. Have a good Easter hreak, enjoy the hoops and we'll chat again in two weeks. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I thought the students of Wilkes University would be interested inthe national service opportunities created b the recent passage of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Over thirty years ago I stood with President Kennedy on the south lawn of the White House while we sent the first Peace Corps volunteers overseas. From the very beginning of that international venture, we always looked forward to the day when the idea, spirit, and logic or the Peasce Corps would he hrought home to serve American families and Amc1icancommunities. That day has now arrived with the creation or Americorps, which over the course of the next three years will challenge roughly 100,000 young people to serve. It is estimated that in the first year of the Americorps program, 20,000 men and women will receive a stipend while becoming eligible for school tuition assistance or loan forgiveness . Weare fortunate in our state to have a prototype or Amcricorps already up and running caked the Pennsylvania Service Corps.

However, unlike the streets of Wilkes-Ban:e, these streets have heen untouched. These avenues of learning are the exchange agreements between Sofia University, in Sofia, Bulgaria and Wilkes University. The exchange agreement between these two learning institutions is such that a student may enroll in either a semster or a full academic year of classes at their respective university as enrollment for the other university. The most impressive feature of this exchange is that housing and meals are paid for hy the host school; this expense is not that of the students. Students will he housed hy hulgarian families and recieve a small "allowance" in hulgarian cmTency. However the students must pay for his or her own travel costs to and from the host institution and hooks, etc. Don't fret yet, you don't need to speak hulgarian to take advantage of this opportunity. Wilkes students who attend Sofia University will he taught hy englishspeaking professors. Wilkes Students will he enrolled in a special program designed for this student exchange agreement. Students will study Sofia University's East European Studies Program . The East European program offers classes in history, politics, economics, sociology and various cultural fields such as literature and the arts. Also offered are courses in the hulgarian and russian languages. Dr. Dennis P. Hupchick, director of the Wilkes East European and Russian Studies Program and assistant professor of history stated, "This exchange opens the door to valuable firsthand knowledge of Bulgaria, the Balkans and Eastern Europe for undergraduates, whose only sources of information about these places are textbooks, TV and the print media. Nothing heats being immersed in the culture and day-day affairs of a foreign country and people for learning. Expe1ience is a wonderful teacher."

Lend Me a Tenor, lend them something more By TOM MACKE WITZ Special to the Beacon iS Farce is a very difficult fonn of theatre to do _justice to. TheHumoroffarceisall in the timing. In spite of the h1illiant vision or director Vince Kaporch and some good effort hy about half the cast, The Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre production of "Lend Me a Tenor" failed to evoke satisfaction. The amusing plot concerns the tri hulations or a Clevland hased opera company. There are romantic twists and cases of mi staken identity galore as director Henry Saunders (Keith Edwards) secures the talents of tenor Tito Morolli to sing ... , ,, the lead in their current production. Tito however is a womanizer and a drunk. He is also head-honcho to his diva like wife (Cynthia Millington). · When Tito passes out from too much alcohol and drugs, Saunders thrusts his assistant Max (Frank Chadwick) on to stage to impersonate the doped up tenor. Add the confusion of two women chasing one or the "tenors" and you should have a very funny show. Unfortunately few actors in the s how understan d face well enoug h to pull it off well. The us ually amusing Keith Edwards overacts te rrihly as Sau nders and at ti mes his delivery is downrig ht annny111g. Little T heat re reg u la r Ellen O'B1ien plays Maggie, Edward's daughter who is also Max's girlfriend . O'Brien is very disappointing in the role. Her acting is forced and her delivery inaudible. Not to mention she is closer to Frank Chad wicks age than to Chadwick and could not convincingly play his daughter. Frank Chadwick as Max showed nice promise, hut unfortunately O'B1ien looking at least ten years older than Chadwick make their scenes together look almost1idiculous. King's graduate Billy Joe Herbert as Ti to Morolli brings in a very fu nn y performance and is well matc hed hy Cynthia M illingto n who ad ds j ust the right amount of selfishness to her role.

It is truly unfortunate that a show or this calihre could not have come off heller for all involved . My advice to Little Theatre is to hecarcful or the shows they choose and if they don't think they have the actors to pull it oil then choose another show.

At Wilkes there really aren't many sports teams to talk about. The baseball team was the only sp1ing sport that has seen action thus far, and that was in F101ida. The Colonels were able to go 4-4 in eight games, which is pretty impressive considering they didn't practice outdoors at all before the week began. As for the softball, tennis, and golf teams, they will just have to wait for the hig thaw. The forecast does look favorable however, so it might not he long until they can get their respective seasons underway. When the seasons do start, I think it is important that these teams get the same respect from the students as the fall and winter sports teams have so far this year. The past couple years, the attend ance at these events have been minimal at the least. However, with Colonel Boh leading the way, more and more people will want to get ou t their in the sp1ing air and root for their Colonels. *************** When we left for sp1ing break, the NCAA tournament was not even selected yet. Now we are down to the Sweet 16. If these next two rounds are as exciting as the first two, we are in for a special treat. The field that remains has a great mixture of underdogs and powerhouses, trying to pick a winner is almost impossible, Arkansas seems like everyone's favmite, hut there are many teams that are capahle of heating the Hogs, such as Michigan, Louisville, UConn, or Purdue. And hey, I warned everyone about those Oral'1gemen, so keep your eye on them as well. The hig surprises of the the tournament .so far have been Tulsa, a number 12 seed, and Maryuette making it to the round of 16. Arkansas must face Tulsa now, and remember, the Razorbacks needed overtime to heat the Hunicanes hy two back in December. Rememher there are no locks in this tourney. One thing that is certain ahout this years tournament i.s there won't he a returning champion thanks to Boston College. I must admit however, that even though I detest North Carolina, they were my pick to win it all going in. So going into the Sweet 16, J will not make any predictions, because whoever I pick will prohahly lose ju.st to make a fool of me. 24, 1994 Add A Little Credit To Your Sununer Plans • If you'd like to concentrate on just that one tough course ... • If you need credits to keep your degree on track ... • If you want to graduate early by fitting in an entire extra semester ... ...

B reiseth has announced a 6.2% increase in tuition, room and board -- the smallest increase in five years -- and a 9.6% increase in financial aid for the 1994-9'5 academic year. As an independent, nonsectarian, co mpre hensi ve University, Wilkes is largely dependent on the income from tuition and fees for its operating budget. "Our mission is to provide our students with an outstanding education," said Breiseth in .a letter mailed to students and their families. The tuition at Wilkes remains below the private college and university average for the nation and in the state of Pennsylvania. In fact, among the p1ivate colleges and universities in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the total tuition increases at W ilkes have been the smallest during the last six years. The Wilkes University Board of Trustees recently passed the preliminary 1994-95 budget of $34.6 million which seL5 tuition at $11,150 and room and board at $5 ,130. The Trustees have also ap- proved a 9.SlJ~, increase in the amount of financial aid available to University students. The total aid available now stands at $5.2 million, which represents lY½, or the University's 199495 budgel. The approved aid also includes as much as $130,000 in new financial aid ror eac h or the next four years which will he made available to top students. The additional money is in response to a 60% increase in the number of students competing for Trustee Scholarships. The University's top academic orize for incoming freshm e n, a Trustee Scholarship is a full, four-year paid scholarship which is awarded annually to six students. The additional aid will allow all of the students who do not receive a Trustee Scholarship to he awarded half tuition scholarships to the University.

Or, arc you sick and Li red or people complaining ahoul your smoking hahil'! The members or Lhe Campus Smoking Commillee have fonnulated a survey in which Lhe faculty and students can voice their opinions on the matter. The committee is comprised of students, faculty and administratiors. There are both smokers and non-smokers involved with the committee. So far, approximately lJ()(l surveys have been returned and they have mainly come from faculLy and on campus students. (The commuter student surveys have only recently been sent out which would explain the lack of returns.) The results of the survey will he in hy next week and they will he presented to general officers and President Breiseth. In addition to the surveys a plan of action will also be provided depending on the results. The president has the final say no matter whal the survey reveals. An unnamed source has said that the ma_iority of the returned surveys have been leaning towards a smoke free campus. What docs this mean'/ Docs iL really matter whal Lhc survey says or are they _iusl humoring us? How are they going to go ahoul converting the whole school Lo smoke free? Authorities have tried it in my high school and it worked as long as you didn't enter the bathrooms. As for The Beocon, we arc smoke free with the exception of our features editor. When our features editor needs to smoke she goes outside and sits on the fronl steps. I L's not very difficult. How hard is it Lo walk outside when Lhe urge Lo smoke comes on strong' 1 Ir Lhe smokers need a cigarette had enough, they should he willing to do just ahoul anything Lo have one, even if il means leaving Lhc building. The only indoor spot Lhat should allow smoking is a personal dorm mom. The dorm room is Lhc student's personal space and if someone has a problem with that students smoking they can leave. Then there is Lhe yuestion of what exactly does second hand smoke do to a person? Does anyone really know? NO! That, my friendly neighborhood reader, is precisely Lhe point. No one knows if second hand smoke is hannful or nol. Why should the non-smokers he forced Lo 1isk their health? We shouldn't have to and hopefully with Lhe help of this survey, we won't.

"We hope to hounce hack from the poor showing we experienced in 1993 by making a concentrated effort to improve all aspects of the game," said Malatesta.

Time time, Li cking ticking ..... T couldn't tell you the nam e of that song m fur that matter the title, hut it is most definitely the only lin e that's heen going through my mind since we returned from Spring Break . 1can ' Lhe lieve that we have less than four weeks left of the semester. Where does the time go? Back in Fehruary , I thought May would never ge t here, time seemed to he at a standstill. (I suppose a lot of that has Lo do wi th th e fac t that th at wh itestull kepl falling out of the sky and fur some very strange reaso n that seemed to make the days l:.tst even longer.) Now that May is _just around the corner (three weeks to he exact) time is moving right along. A hit too fast if you ask me! All of a sudden the work seems to he quite overwhelming and al times I have to remind myself to hreathe. I think I have taken more exams in the last two weeks than I have all last semester. Note: last semester I had at least one every week 1 Even though the work keeps piling up and the tests are plenty I don ' t lel it get me down. At least not for very long. I plan <in gradual ing nex I semester and if I keep telling myself I can't do it , that the work is just way too much, 1 won't be ahle lo do il. On the other hand, if I keep telling myself I will make it through , I won't fail. To make sure I will make it through I use two things to moti vale me: 1. I WILL graduate in Decemher 1994 (t he only way my cousin, Michael graduate before me is because E comes before K). 2. Every night I write a note to myself and it says: I can and will make it through, I will not quit. Actually I should add a third reason I use to motivate me: 3. TUITION- lcan'tallord any more semesters! I have never p1ided myself on the fact that ever since I was a lillle kid I gave up on just ahout everything very easily .. Last year when I lost my joh I got it in my head that I was going hack lo school lo get my Bachelors degree. This worried my parents quite a hit. I always talked ahout gelling my Bachelors hut I never followed up on it and now they realized that I meant husiness. Knowing n-iy past record, they were quite hesitant about my decision because they felt it was an expensive one if I wasn't going to stick with it. I agreed with them wholeheartedly. I was well aware of my record too, but I was also aware that if I didn't gel that degree I was going nowhere. I was sick and tired of working low paying jobs for institutions that went under and left me to suffer. Come December I will have that Bachelors degree that I have wanted for so many yearsnow. Iknow itmaynot be easy findingajob, nothing is ever easy, but it won't be . near as hard as it was. And now when I get that "dream _job" it will he something Lhat I wont to do and not hove to do and employers will want me because of my work, experience ;ind educatio n an d not just because I'm cheap lahor! I'm glad that I have stuck with school and have finally followed up on my dream. But most importantly, I am thankful that my parents stuck hy me, I know I haven't been easy on them . and I'm thankful for the Gina's, Jane ' s and Marsha's who e ntereJ my Ii fe when I came to Wilkes. These are people who wouldn't let me give in even ifl promised them mo ney. Education, it sure is a great thing to have' It's hard getting it but once you have it everything falls into place. 75 S.

This production had a lot or polenti;_il. Unfortunately, this pntenti;_il was only partially achieved. The m;_iin drawhack seemed tn l ie in Kevin Cost ley's direetiun of the play. His presentational style left very little room rm realism in the piece. Every time ;_i character sang or had anything important to say Costley had them turn directly toward the audience. Playing the lead role or Cervantes/Quixote is Wilkes alumni Francis Carmi! McMullen. McMullen'sperfonnance provedexactlywhy tion or this play . The show requires an oulslansding actor with a strong singing voice. McMullen was tuu inexperienced as an act\lr to conquer this role. However, his singing was impeccahlc. Victoria Moss Gallagher turned in a fine perl"ormance as Aldzona, the kitchen wench with whom Quixote finds his purpose._ Sam Troy proved his versitality as an actor by playing the surly realist Dr. Carrasco, the play's voice or reason. Troy recently played the opposi te, an ideal is tic husinessman in "Other Peop le's Money." Music Box regular Michael Gallagher practically stole the show as Quixote ' s squire Sancho. Gallagher 1s one of the area's hesl charcter actors, and he keeps gelling helter. His comic timing was the work or a genius . Cynthia Millington rared well with her sexy helly dance funny cameo as the barber. On the downside, Nicole Ross as Quixote's niece came off stage and unfocused. John Owen Kennedy, apart from being too young for the role of the padre, sang his solo "ToEachHisDulcenia" off key. He improved, however, with his rendition of "The Psalm." Given a better interpretation, this production of"Man of La Mancha" could have been an outstanding success. As it was, it became average dinner theater fare. f o •· Do l"l"l e.s t. ic V i.-o (.e. n-c e. Ce. n- - t.er & Ou-st.e-t·ft.ou.t.

We, al the Beacon , feel that this is a very important topic and we !"eel that John's piece completel y relates llUr opinion as well as his own . Here it is, what do you think'' It seems our values arc so lost in this imperkct world that weak heroes take center stage over those we really should praise. Most recently, the lead singer ror Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, has captured the hearts or millions by commilling suicide. In this crucial time, we don't need individuals like Cobain dealing a hlow such as he has to an already fragile society. He has lcrt millions or young people asking, why'! Suicide and drug ahuse arc the crimes for the weak at heart. When it comes to values, how can we say the man was a hero? Sure, some say he started a way or life with grunge for millions to follow . But all he started was a trail to death that cam e with a bullet in his hrain . He told us such a sad story in his suicide note ahout keling that his music and lik weren't genuine anymore and he'd rather die than continue faking it. Well Mr. Cobain , that's the way lil"c is. Sorry ... Our media circus gave this man a grand finale . They gave this man a week's Wllrth or newstimc , and they will probably turn him into the next Jim Morrison. For Morrison, or th e Doors, life and death were quite similar to that or Cohain 's. We need lo turn our allention to the true heroes or our day. We need lo focus on the strong individuals , who contribute positively to our society and do whatever possible to keep it strong. Where are our values focused when so-called hasehall hero Darryl Strawberry admits to abusing drugs and alcohol and on the same day a homeless man dives into a hurning car to save an elderly couple, and Strawhcrry gets the spotlight '1 Strawhe1Ty will always he long rememhered, hut the stronger of the two will soon ht.: forgollen. The everyday heroes who deserve the spotlight don't ask for the allention or complain to millions ahout how miserahle and trouhlcd their lives are. There are hundreds of thousand single parents in this country working night and day to put food on the tahle for their children . Police officers risk their lives every day to keep city streets sak and drug rree. Teachers, make hollom or the harrel salaries in inner city schools to give those children an nlucation to allow them a shot for a prosperous future . They and many others arc the strung or this country, and they arc the ones' to he called heroes . Cohain and Strawhcrry , arc _just two examples or so-called heroes who have fallen . They hoth have the millions or dollars and not a thing to show for it. People say heroes arc remembered , hut legends never die. I say lets erase these weak suhstitutcs for heroes rrnm our minds before they add to the list or losers some call legends. Let's save the title or legend rorthc parents, the educators, and the hravc who do all the small things that help this country move forward and prosper.

Tuhy, Dinxtor or lnslitule or Regional Allair.s, ju.st recently returned from his five month .s ta y in Bratislava which is th e capitol city or the Slovac Repuhlic. Although Professor Tuhy has severa l family memhers who reside in the Slovac Repuhlic , one or the main reasons he visited 1he Ea.slern European cm111try was hecause he is an expert advisur for the Foundation or Civi l Society . The Society, which i.s hased in New York, helps countries .sett le and reorgani/.C their educational institutions. To help rchuild the cullegc infrastruc Lure in these areas, the Society prepares ideas and aids in devcloping a more .sound foundaLi o n for the students and teach- e r.s. A long with his work for the Society, Profe.s.sorTuhy was an advisor Lo the rector, equivalent to a university president, of Trnava University and helped Lo teach a political .science course to the .students. In 1990,whileon.sahhatical leave, Professor Tuhy al.so leelured al Comenius University in Bratislava and Safa1ik Univer.sity in Pre.scov, where he also helped to e.stahli.sh a puhlic administration curriculum. In 1992, Tuhy worked with the director or the Slovac Advanccd Research Center, where he. helped with a study for the chemica l faculty or the Slovac Technical University 111 Bratislava.

Tuhy said that the ,S lovac stude nt-,; are very se1ious ahout their studies, much more so than most or their American counLerpart.s in fact. Since their room and hoard al college is funded e ntirely hy the state, st udents hecom e very com pe ti tive so that they may remain in school. As far as intelligence levels, Tuhy thinks that U.S . .students have a greater advantage in developing their skills hccau.se there is only limited information availahlc to Slovac students . Prore.s.sor Tuhy al.so said, " the Slovacs arc very computer literate and arc .slowly hut .surely trying to get away from .speaking Czech or Slovac hy speaking the English language more frequently.'' All in all, Tuhy helieve.s the higge.sl improvement theSlovac Repuhlic i.s trying to make is how they run their colleges.

And every time we have tried lo suppress them, it has resulted in large scale hatred. violence, death, and ignorance. And I stress the word ignorance. · You would think hy now that we would have"f'e arned from the mistakes of history. We should recognize now, bel"ore it is too . late, that we are all equal no mailer where we come from, what we look like, or whom we choose lo love. Adolf Hitler decided in the late l 930's that he didn ' t Iike members of the Jewish religion. It resulted in mass butchery of innocent people as well as World Warll. Do we want this to happen again? What is so had about a person loving someone of the same sex? Just because homosexuality exists, doesn't mean that everyone will have to or want Lu try it out! It doesn 't mean that those people who are "straight" will automatically turn to homosexuals. Whal it dues mean is that the people who want the freedom to he homsexual (or heterosexual) can have it. The only reason why this topic has become such a large controversial issue 1s that people arc scared. Americans become scared at every little change that comes their way. The hate crimes and discrimination exist in our area because there is little appreciation for the diversity in this community. The only way to solve this prnhlem is tu L'.duca te people and rid ourselves or ignorance. Ignorance is society's greatest enemy. This is Victims· Rights Week. a week wcslrnuld celebrate with diversity, unity and community. However, th ere have been many discriminatory acts being taken against people who have a differing sexual prel"crencc. Last night, the Wilkes-Barre City Council voted down a hill for a civil 1ights amendment to end discrimination based on sexual preference in our arL'.;t. The question is why? We need to break the silence and allow closets to open, minds to open, and hearts to open .

The lecture started with Dr. Michelini who began his lecture explaining the years before he took office of president of Wilkes Col lege and his predecessor, Dr. Eugene Farley.

WILKES UNIVERSITY Art students & their masterpieces By AZAHNl RASHIOI Special to the Beacon Wilkes' Bachelors and Fine Arts trndergraduates created a masterpiece that would have surely sculptured your st::nses. Rememherthesaying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Well. this magnificent exhibition held at the Sardoni Art Gallery of Wilkes University, during the month or April. said more than that. It featured an array of Twentieth Century art such as paintings. calligraphy. sculpture. photography. and dyed cloth painting that left your senses numb. The incredible displays had been selected by the chairperson or the Fi11L'. Arts DepartmenL; Professor Eme1itus Simon, Associate Professor J. O'Tonle and other faculty stall. Upon the first inspection or the exhibit. some displays. such as the abstract paintings. might have appeared unclear for those who don't know much about it. Therefore, it was empirical Lo view the work in different perspectives. Situated at the entrance of the gallery was a bust made out of molded metal seemed to visualize the head or a wounded soldier. The use of layer upon layer or metal gave the man a startling image of being crushed by heavy artillery. . Richard Heberle 's "North Shore'' was a display not to he missed. His attempt to visualize the 'tide' was exquisite. Done on acrylic plaster on canvas, he seems to capture the nuance and soft touches of rolling waves. The impact of the strokes was delicate yet not sustained, thus creating a realistic image on the canvas. Photography, a strong point in Rachel Acri's exhibit focused on her life on the farm. She has a unique touch and a humorous knack of catching the animals at the right place at the 1ight time. One that stood out most was in her photo of eight cows that she calls " Judge and Jury." She seemed to understand the discussion that went on between the cows. The way they were gathcreel closely almost looked like they were in some sort of debate. Last hut not least. is the work of Jennifer Nyman. whose display was of her art of indigo dying cloth. an ancient art miginally practiced in Japan . She hiilliantly worked magic especially on her piece called the "Mokume Shihori." The color she mostly played with is indigo, which gives an exotic amhiencetothecloth. Inspiteofthewi1Jkles of the fabric. her work was simply extraordi nary . · That old saying will have to change-in this case. "A picture is worth a thousand applause. better still. ... a standing ovation ." . Dr. Breise.th ·spoke last. bring the audie1ice into what Wilkes in the present day and age. He spoke of the profound affect the University and its members has as a private institution on the Wyoming Valley community. Dr. Breisth spoke or the past. hut focused mainly on the future and the goals himself as president and those of Wilkes University. The history shared in this lecture was very enlightening. But even more enlighte ning was the insight to the founders of this University. Now the names of buildings and the n:unes engraVL'. d lll1 brass plates have a personality behind them com- · plete with graces and grievances. honor and humor.

I can very honestly say that I am far from sad to sec it go. This semester took a long time getting started but once it did there was no stopping it. I'm sure al one point there, everyone at Wilkes was heginning to wonder if we would ever ha ve a complete week of school. That white stuff just kept falling out the sky as if it had to make up for the past six years. In case you haven ' t noticed, the white stuff is finally gone and now that everyone has gone out and bought th e mselv es a snow hlowcr, we'll never see it again! This semester was a hard one for me. hut I arn su re that I wasn't alone. Just when I though t I co uld hreatheagainsomc.thing else was thrown at me. At one point I hegan to wonder if all or my professors got together once a week to decide whattheycouldthrnwmy way the following week. I was doing pretty good up until the last three weeks. I didn ' t do too well in one or my classes this semester and that really bothers me. I tried really hard hut it seemed that no matter how hard I tried it just wasn' l hard enough. When I was younger, that kind or thing never bothered me. I don't know, maybe that was hccausc hack then my parents paid my tuition and now I am paying it. What a difference it makes! You live or and you learn! This semester has taught me a lot or things. One is know who your professors are before you take their class and another is know who your friends are and if they will kt you cry on their shoulder. do it. I learned this past week that if you try and handle something on your own and keep the anger locked up inside of you it just makes you even more angry. Again, you live and you learn! I think that as an adult learner I tend to do something that the traditional student doesn't. I tend to look at people my age who arc now successful in their johs and envy them hig time. All nf my friends from high school are now in stable jobs and have familiesoftheirown. I envy that. I wish it could he me, mostly hecause I am tired of studying. Ten very long years ago , I sat over at Spartan Stadium on a very hot J unc night and grad uated from high school. At that point I thought I kn ew exactly what r was going to do in life . The following September I was going LO start co ll ege al w hat is now Liberty University and graduate from there with a degree in Communications.

Just remember the words of the late Jim Valvano "Don't give up , don't ever give up!" The way I look at it is that I made it this far and no one will prevent me from making it further. The only one stopping me, is me! Ten years ago as I heard my alma mater for the last time I thought I knew it all. Today, I know that I do not know it all. And, in seven s hort months as I am sitting at my college graduation I still will not know it all. And that -is what will get me through next semester and therestofmy life. You see, it is not how much you know hut what you do with that knowledge. My life has changed in ten years. My plans have changed in ten years. But, one thing that never changed was that I was going to get my Bachelors Degree. I was not sure when. hut I knew it would happen. Dreams, goals, knowledge, plans they are all a part of life and what we do with them and how we handle them is completely Breiseth on Cre for Life Experien By JAY TURMAN Spec:iol to Beacon Most students at Wilkes University an: unawan:ol'C Life Experience, even non-traditional students who could from the option.

There are 500 adult students at Wilkes. Many had work experience before returning to college and credit experience may apply to many or them according 10 Christopher Breiseth . However only six students have Credit for Life Expe,ience (CLEP). CLEP is a very controversial topic here at the Uni ve a recent interview with Breiselh he outlined the contm regarding CLEP. He said, "Many !"acuity hel ieve that givingsomeoneac credits for work expc,ience does not get out the i'ull pot that studen l." There's an adult student named Jim, who worked al newspaper as sports editor r(ir fil"teen years hefore returnin his degree. He was initially told that he had 10 take: newsw1iti11g.

The issue is whether credit should he awarded !'or the experience when what was learned on thejoh can 1101 heev the same way classroom instruction is evaluated.

Since I was one or the seniors represented in-that show, I decided to read what was said. It was not what the reviewer had thought ahout the show that upse t me, fo r that is one man ' s opinion, instead it was how poorly the article was rescarcl1L'. d , wrilt e n and e dited .

The resull or this hrainstllrming, an opera entitled " Dido and Aeneas", was featured at 8:00 pm in the C.P.A. on Friday and Saturday, April 29th and 30th . The opera runs esscntiall y like any other. Royal lord meets royal lady and they fall in love. The central question usually concerns hllw the rnyal lady chooses to kill herself when she is jilted by her royal lord. That is, at least, how I viewed opera in general hefore I went to see "Dido and Aeneas." Although the plot was not the most exciting, the actors were excellent. Heather Petruzelli who starred as Didll, Queen or Carthage, was cxccptillnal in the leading rnle . She displayed so much sorrow in her voice that_the audience really hegan to understand the pain she felt when she Lhllught that her lover had deserted her. Dana Bdson was alsll excelknl as the dcvotL'. d Belinda. The sccm: in the witches' cave was especially well acted, with Patricia Gardner as the Sorn ~ress. The scenery and special efl°ccls were wllndcrful and created an interesting new approach to the classic opera. I must conress that I was surprised lo find I really enjoyed the pcrfllrmancc. Could it he that I may one day acquire my grammie's love ror opera? For those or you that missed the show, you missed a glllld llne.

The new college, known as Bucknell University Junior College, was successful in attracting as students, ahle and highly motivated yo ung persons , virtually all of whom were the first members of their families to hendit rrom l1igher educatio n. The college also received support and encouragement from leading memhers or the Wilkes-Barre community, many of whom served on the Board of Trustees. The stately mansions on campus donated to the college, that are now used by the University for some of its residence halls and offices. tes tify to the tradition of community service and generosity characteristic or the Wilkes-Barre area's leadership. The college was especially fortunate to have its own inspired and talented leaders in Arnaud C. Marts, president or Bucknell, and Eugene S. Farley, director of the Wilkes-Barre campus. In 194 7, t11e institution became Wilkes College, an independent, non-denominational r< iur -year c< illege. with programs in the arts and sciences and a numberofprotessional fields as well as a full program ofcxtraciricular acitivities. The student body and faculty grew rapidly in the 19.'iO's, and expansion into graduate studies followed in the 1960's and 1970's. ln the 1980's, Wilkes gained recognition a an increasingly sophisticated regional center for teach.ing, academic research, cultural affairs, and public service programs. Designation as Wilkes University in 1990 capped an eventfitl and productive half century of development, and signaled the hegi nni ng or a new era of pro gress as an increasingly distfoguished and prominent academic institution. �pa11e2 url)e ~eacon ~tt1Jtt$t 29, 1994 <!Ebitorial Welcome and welcome back It seems like it was just yesterday when we all said goodbye for the summer but here we are already! Where did the summer go? We at 'filbc :Ifilcacon would like to welcome everyone to Wilkes, both new and returning students, and wish you Go<l speed as you travel through the halls of Wilkes. In my years here I have had many successes and have been lucky enough to share them with my friends and family. However, ther have been many times in where I have stumbled too. Luckily, I had the support of my friends and family to pick me up and put me back on my feet again. I wish for all of you the success which I have enjoyed. But if I may, let me tell you my secret. When I fi rst anived at Wilkes, I ha<ln 't lived in the area fo r four years; I was a stranger. I felt very alone until Ijoine<l a few clubs on campus. It was in those clubs where I found my second family: my.fi-iends. But it wasn't just the getting to know people that made me feel better about Wilkes and myself. It was the way I became a part of Wilkes that changed my outlook. I've noticed in the past that many people here are apathetic. They will complain about the way things are but never <lo anything to make them better. I don't understand that concept. If you can change something for the better, why not <lo it? Actions sp~ak louder than words. So I ask you, as a student of Wilkes, as a reader of this publication, if there's something you don't like, <lo something to fix it. As far as our plans here at 'fillJc :Ifilcucon goes we intend on increasing our coverage from 12 to 16 pages. The four new pages will cover world and local news, the word on campus, spotlight of an outstanding member of our campuscommunity, an adult learner page and a classified ads section for your use. As you read 'fillJc :Ifilcaron, I hope you will let us know if you don't disagree with something we have ptinted or if you think we should cover an event. 'filbc :Ifilcacon is a student publication. A publication for your infonnation and ente1tainment. I ask that you take advantage of us and put us to work fo r you. Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication c/o Wilkes University, P.O.

Wilkes prides itself in maintaining and refurbishing many of these historical buildings on campus. Some day when you need a break, take a look through this building, Kirby Hall. The wood carved banister and matching grandfather clock are an amazing pieces of work.

''A short term inconvience for a long term inprovement" page 3 Transfer Student ✓ Checklist -by Gina M. Tagnani ByLYNNMARIE ROSENCRANCE Editor-in-Chief New Parking Plan It has been said that "this is a time of change," and Wilkes is changing. For Wilkes students, parking has always been a problem. Tlus year, however, the Administration believes they have a solution. On September 6, the new parking plan goes into effect. As students at Wilkes, we have heard the word new a lot: the new core; the new, new core, the new classroom building, the new Pharmacy School, and now, the new parking plan. The Details The most important change of course is the parking fee. Full time students will be charged $60 a semester (approximately 68 cents a day for a five day week.) Part time students will pay $20 asemester, as they spend less time on campus. Faculty and Staff will pay $180 a year. Also paying a fee will be all outside contractors. Summer semesters and intersession have not yet been assigned a dollar amount. Students who are granted a parking permit will be required to pay the $60 fee before they recieve access to the parking lots. Permits will be awarded as they have been in the past. Each application will be reviewed by either the Interresident Council for resident students or Commter Council for commuter students. Appilcants will be awarded pointsforthestudent'syear(freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), credits taken, distance traveled and extra-curricular acitivities. Two-hundred-fifteen spaces have been alotted for students, 140 for commuter studentsand75 for resident students. Commuter students parking lots are Bedford, Temple Isreal, .... ·- 8 -everyone pays -parking 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for commuter students, faculty & staff -60 more parking spaces for students -1.D. cards encoded for park. 1ng access -more secutiy gaurds patroling parking lots on campus and at Park-n-Lock South Pickering,StudentServicesand Gutman (south side of the Mats Center.) Commuter students will have access to these parking lots from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. After 5 p.m., parking on campus is not guaranteed. Oveflow parking will be directed toPark-n-Lock South on South Main Street. Resident student parking lots are Dennison Hall, Design Systems, Marts Center and Doane Hall. Resident students will have 24 hour access to these parking lots. Evening students will have access to the parking lots after 5 p.m. Parking on campus after 5 p.m . is on a first-come, firstserve baisis. Faculty and Staff have been alotted a total of 309 parking spaces, 59 on campus, 250 at Park-n-Lnck South. Faculty and Staff on campus parking lots are the lots behind Evans, Chesapeake/Delaware, Chase and Weckesser Halls. These lots are on a first-come baisis as well. Faculty and Staff have access to these lots fmm 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Handicap spaces are available in the lot between Chase Hall and Stark Learning Center as well as in the rear of Weckesser Hall. For the lucky 215 students who are awarded parking spaces, thier I.D. cards will be encoded with a magnetic strip which will provide them access into the parking lots. Towing will be readily enforced for those who violate the parking plan. Added security is also afunction of this new plan. Additional security gaurds will patrol the on campus parking lots but will patrol more heavily atPark-n-Lock South. With this new system going into effect, there are sure to be some gliches in the system. TheAdministrationaskesfor the understanding of everyone on campus as the system goes on line in early September. As Mr. Mark Davis, DirectorofUniversityRelationsputs it, "it will be a short term inconvience for a long term improvement." 0 Make contact with your advisor A.S.A.P. If you are unsure of who your advisor is contact the Dean of Admissions, Emory Guffrovich at 8314400. Also if you are dissatisfied with your adv isor at any time for any reason, don't hesitate to take up the complaint with Mr. Guffrovich. 0 Make sure you have a copy of the handbook or bulletin which outlines the courses from the institution you transferred from. This is important so that if a question ever arises about your transferred credits, you have a description of your prior coursework. 0 Keep a running count of you academic transcript evaluation, issued by the Dean of Admissions. Be sure to check and double check that your credits were transferred in accurately, because when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, it's your responsibility. 0 Neverforgetthatyou need 60 credits from a 4year degree granting institution and at least 3 0 of those credits need to be from Wilkes. For example, if you transferred from a 2-year Associate Degree granting istitution, no m atte r how many credits you transfer, you must complete 60 credits at Wilkes, even if it exceeds the amount needed for a baccalareate in you major. 0 Half of the credits for completion of your major must be completed at Wilkes. 0 Take note that the Core Curriculum looks more confusing than it actually is. 0 As far as parking goes, good luck trying to get a spot on campus. You can pick up a application by contacting Commuter Council on the third floor of theConygham Student Center on South River Street. If your luck fails, a ton of Wilkes students park in Park & Lock South over on South Main Street. It costs $24 per month or $2 a day. To get more information on that see the attendant at the exit of the parkade. 0 By all means don't be afraid to get involved. Even though you probably feel like a Freshman, because of the new atmosphere, you're coming to Wilkes University with college experience under your belt, and that, as yo u will notice, is highly valued. □ DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK!Wedon'tbite. The faculty, staff, administration and students were all new at one time too, they know how you feel and won't dodge a question, but instead help you out as best as possible. 0 Lastly, R-E-L-A-X, Wilkes has alot to offer you, and a lthough you'll feel like a n idiot when someone asks you if you want to go to the SUB* and yo u say no because you're clostrophobic and yo u can 't swim, soon enough you'll blend in and become a part of the close-knit Wilkes family. *Student Union Building �page 4 m:IJe 1Jjeacon ~ugugt 29, 1994 urbt it Everything you need to know but were never told!

ByJEFFZAPOTOCZNY Staff Writer What happened to that low 13: 1 studenttofacultyratiothat Wilkes so proudly advertises? Many students attend classes so large that theyfiU Stark 101 , the largest lecture hall on campus to capacity. These complaints are coupled with speculation to the whereabouts of the rumored 20 new faculty members hired for the 1994-95 acedemic year. Oh, I know, they are all in the new pharmacy program. Or are they? Many students also seem to think that since Wilkes gained university status a few years back, its student population bas grown considerably. Has it? The real question is: Has the student to faculty ratio changed or is it just being misinterpreted? The truth is that it is being misinterpreted. .According to Scott Bodfish, Wilkes' official statistician, confusion is due to the misreading of data There -is a difference between the term, "student-to-faculty ratio." It is supposed to be 13:1, but the actual class size, currently rests at an average of nearly 18:1. The definitions of full-time and part-time students and faculty plays a large role when the ratio is calculated. To be considered full-time, the student must be enrolled in at least five· coursespersemester. Forteaching faculty, the minimum number of courses that must be taught is four. When the figures are compiled, the total number of fulltime students equals the sum of 1) those with five or more courses, and 2) a combination of part-time students whose total classes equals five. Wilkes really bas not grown. Onlyninemorepeopleenrolled as full-time undergraduates this fall than did last year. That's U!iardly a dramatic increase, and that number could go down as students are permitted to drop courses without penalty until early October. Andallthosenewprofessors? Almost all of them are filling vacancies, wbicbinsomecases, have been open for more than a year. In fact, only two faculty members were added to the buddingphannacydepartment. What is interesting is the difference in definition between full-time student and full-time professor.

True, if a current full-time Wilkes professor was required to teach five classes instead of four, class size would go down, but the missing time that cannot be accounted for is comprised of office hours spent by faculty as both advisors and tutors, which of course varies from professor to professor. Where does this leave Wilkes? "More or less even with our size last year," said Dr. J. Michael Lennon, the Vice President in charge of Academic Affairs. Ice cream welcome By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor The faculty and staff at Wilkes University gathered with family and friends on Weckesser lawn, Wednesday, August 31, for an ice cream social hosted by administration.

It could happen in Iowa, Maine, or especially on a campus like Wilkes University, which is located in the middle of the city. Just recently, a man who mostly everyone considered a normal-looking guitar player, gallavanted around Wilkes campus performing for anyone who would take the time to listen. Only a few days after his brief appearance on campus, John Charles Blaum was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. While on campus, not only was he seen in Stark lobby, but several reports were made by various dorm members that Blaum was seen lurking around their halls. By Wednesday evening, the first call was made to the police by Jerry Cookers, the head of security. He reported that not only had Blaum been seen in the admissions, registrars, communications, and residence life offices, he had Dr. Breiseth, President of Wilkes University was very pleased with the turn out and stated, "how nice to see all the faculty and their families together again to begin a new year. Wilkes University welcomes the new faculty and staff joining us and we are glad to see the old returning." John Charles Blaum also visited McClintock Hall, where he serenaded the donn members and left them a bag of tomatoes. September 2, Blaum wa arrested by the Wilkes-Barre police department and involuntarily admitted in to am en tal hospital. Last week, King' College also made complaint concerning Blaum, and he was later arrested on the same grounds of disorderly conduc and harassment. Although Blau.it WdS arrested, several people have reported seeing him on the streets. - If you notice him, please use caution and know that he may not be in the right state o mind.

Free FONCARDs from Sprint for Wilkes students By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor On September 1 &d 2, Sprint long distance offered a calling plan that no college srndent could pass up. Without paying any money at all and having no obligation to change long distance carriers, all students who filled out Sprint FONCARD applications were offered a wide variety of advantages. Just by filling in the application the students were automatically entered into a grand prize drawing. WiL1<:es students seem to be very excited about the new Sprint Collegiate FONCARD.

One of the hardest skills to learn is one which is not taught by a professor, there is no text book in the bookstore to guide us through the mastery of the skill. Instead, patience is more like a lifelong practicum. We work at being patient (through our errors) and it is something we all must go through to graduate into a world of understanding. The actual act of being patient is especially difficult to master in the first couple weeks of school. Everything seems to whirl by us as we try just to grasp hold of something and hang on for dear life. It is in this death grip where our patience ususally snaps. There are no quick fixes for a lack of patience but an occasiuonal step back from the situation for a few moments can help restore it a little. Whenever mbe jSeacon staff begins to become impatient, we try to step out of the situation mentally and recall that we are not the only people on campus suffering from stress and impatience. We are not the only people with deadlines, working with people who are unfamilar with the Wilkes system of doing things. Take for instance parking. Newcomers to Wilkes do not understand the physical constraints of parking on campus. Another example is ABM. If an organization, department or office on campus needs anything repaired, replaced or _ removed, a request must be submitted. The request must also be processed. All of these proceedures take time. And waiting any amount of time is what turns us from understanding, giving human beings into vicious and mean people. Waiting in line at the Bookstore for 45 minutes will tum any socially accepptable person into a raving maniac. Wilkes University is a society in itself and as with society it has its own norms, rules and moores. It is important to understand that people who don ' t know the "Wilkes way" are also very frustrated with those who do. For those who don't know the "Wilkes way," being lost in the system is worse than being lost in New York without a city map.

One question that may not have run through a lot of adult learners minds is, "if I go away to ge will I be able to make it through?". It was, in fact, a decision that Babette Schuchart had ~~~~ t . When Babette graduated from high school in 1981 started working at Hanover General ital in the Pharmacy Department. After about one year with Hanover General, Babette ·ded she wanted to become a pharmacist. . Then came the news Wilkes University was beginning a pharmacy program in the fall of . It would be a six year program and at the end of the six years you would receive your orate. It was just all too tempting for Babette. She applied to Wilkes. She was accepted and Emory Guffrovich, Dean of Admissions,began get all her paperwork ready and filled out her class schedule for her. "I couldn't believe it," Babette, "things like that just didn't happen at York College, you would have to go through secretaries before you got to any dean at all." Score one for Wilkes! "I feel so welcome at Wilkes. The people here are much more friendlier and helpful." said Babette. Score two for Wilkes! Babette agrees with most of the adult learners when she says that deciding to come back to school isn't an easy decision. The fact that most of the students in her classes would be 18 was also something that would play on her mind but fortunately it did not hold her back.. Because Wilkes puts more of an emphasis on their adult learners. Score three for Wilkes! Lucky for us Wilkes is committed to die adult learner. On one of Babette's first day of classes, a professor she had told her he enjoys having adult )earners in his classes, he looks to them to help with the younger students. Talk about making aperson's first day to a new school a little bit better and brighter! Thoogh Wilkes is where Babette wants to be she is still going to face a few challenges during six-year stay her. She will have to endure time away from her husband. As it stands now, she plans on returning Hanover every weekend but, even so, it will still be tough on her. She will be away from family and friends and money will more than likely be a little bit tighter. When Babette was attending York college, she was working full-time and Hanover General lped pay her tuition. Now that she is at Wilkes, she pays her tuition 100%. Though her husband is working full-time as a paramedic down in Hanover she has been reduced to working part-time. Babette and her husband realize that things are going to be tough for the next 6 years but with lot of love and support things will work out. ' Babette is just one of many adult learners at Wilkes. We all have are different stories on how got here but one thing is for sure, our goals are all the same. And that goal is to graduate from college and be the best we can be in whatever it is life has ned for us after aduation. Welcome, or welcome back, to Wilkes. I realize that this is t!Q)e illtamn·s second issue, but because this is only the first Chatter, the welcome mat must be laid. This semester will be an especially trying time on everyone's patience, with the massive con~iruction undertaking on campus. But all of this will eventually lead to great changes, and a better university. It is in this spirit that this week we examine two areas of extracurricular interest at Wilkes. First, as you've probably already seen, ~ t illtamn is looking marvelous, inside and out. The office on the second floor of Hollenback Hall is renovated, and the paper is enjoying a renaissance of sorts. The appearance, as well as the substance, are improved. Special acclaim should go to the new Editor-in-Chief, who has many great ideas and the guts to implement them. Let the word go forth: 11rbe ~eacon is back. There is another issue that is not as heart warming. As most of you know, this pseudo-journalist also dabbles in the broadcast media, specifically the radio coverage of sports here at Wilkes. Along with my trusty partners, and a very exciting newcomer, this football season was going to be enjoyable. Then the news came that Wilkes has hired WBAX to cover the football games, and is paying them. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. This is a democracy, however, and you have choices. Just as the school chose not to promote their own sports coverage ( which, I might add, is not half bad), you now have an option for your listening pleasure. You can tune in to WBAX, and here the players' names butchered as the "professionals" refer to the Colonels as Wtlkes College (sic). Or you can give some hardworking and devoted college students the minimal credit they would greatly appreciate, and truly deserve. You be the judge. Go ahead. You '11 be in for a pleasant surprise, and then ask,"Why are we paying someone else to do the same game?" when you discover the answer, please let me know; I'm curious as well. <!&rgani~eb ~narcbp withloseph Rae Strangely enough, I cried when I first learned that baseball players were paid. I believe I was nine, already on my way to become the worst little league ballplayer, and the concept of baseball as a career seemed rather alien to me. Each day at 4 pm. I'd faithfully attend practice or proudly show off my uniform on occasional Wednesdays and Saturdays for games, never once imagining that people, my heros, were paid to play this great national pastime. However in this era of professional sports, my romantic visions about the sport of baseball without the harsh world of economics are ancienL Without a doubt, baseball is experiencing economic difficulties. With stiff competition from other forms of entertainment for dollars, declining television viewing, loss ofrevenues, rising salaries, and a decline of baseball as our national pastime, club owners have found themselves in a rather shaky position; a position lbat they feel will be stabilized by the implementation of a salary cap. The salary cap, utilized in the NBA and the NFL, is designed to pay the players less than market value for their talents. The worth of a player would be measured in percentage share of the salary pie, rather than a dollar amount. In a free-market system, asalary cap would limit the ability of the player to earn a fair market value; while baseball is not a true free-market system, due to our limits on player and franchise movements, a salary cap would artificially lower salaries. A cap would hurt all players, especially those players on backup role (as evidenced by the NFL). Baseball is huge industry, but moreover, a player driven industry without quality players, baseball would cease to exisL The nature of ec_onomics has changed 1he game of baseball. Owners can no longer own a player for their entire career and pay them as they please. Due to free-agency, player salaries are in line with 1baseball revenue.

Wilkes opens the season ranked in five pre-season publications. The Colonels are ranked third in Football Digest, eighth in Sports Illustrated, eleventh in Street & Smith, fifteenth in Don Hansen's Football Gazette, and eighteenth in College Footbal Preview. The Colonels return five starters on offense and five on defense. Among those on offense is 1994 Street & Smith pre-season All-American Damon "Boo" Perry (Jr., Canton, Pa.) at quarterback. Boo is the gasoline that runs the Wilkes ·offense. He is just 756 yards shy of tying the school record for career yardage and just three touchdown passes shy of the school record. Perry's favorite ' targets will once again be Ryan I Alston (So., Ocean, NJ.) and Mike Gundersdorf(So. , Hackettstown, NJ.). The ground attack will be keyed by Florida's Class "AA" State Player of the Year Elijah Powell (Fr.,Tampa, FL.)attailback. BillBachman (Fr., Hackettstown, NJ.) will also see a great deal of time. The fullback spot will be manned by Marc Jackett (So., Moscow, Pa.) with Wayne Meckley (So., Turbotville, Pa.) backing him up. The defense will be anchored by 1993 Champion U.S.A. All-American defensive end Jake Cole (Sr., Mt. Carmel, Pa.). Cole led the Colonels in sacks with 14, tying a school record. He is joined by defensive backs Ben McKeown (Sr., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.), Aaron Wilk (Jr.,Shamokin, Pa.), and Joe Woodward(Sr.,Ashland,Pa.), and linebacker Bob Delbo (Sr., Mt. Carmel, Pa.), as returning starters. Look for John Reid (Fr., Little silver, NJ.), Steve Molowski (Jr., Berwick, Pa.), and Chris Cunningham (Jr., Schuylkill Haven, Pa.) to start up front while Lou Atkinson (Jr., Landsdowne, Pa.) and Shawn Masich (Jr., Berwick, Pa.) will join Delbo at linebacker. On special teams, placekicker Joel O'Donnel (Jr., Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) returns in 1994 after converting 25 of 34 extra points and 7 of 13 field goal attempts. Joe Machuzak (Sr., Marion Hts, Pa.) and Augie Mitschke (Fr., Bloomfield, NJ.) are battling it out for the punting chores. The game on Saturday will be the second ever meeting of the two teams. Wilkes won the only meeting 20-17 in 1970. This will be the second game of the season for the Owls of Southern Connecticut.

Magnetic Strip aimed to provide maximum seruri By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Do th e lines at the Registrar's office seem longer somehow? Could it be that there is just one more line to wait in? If students have been wondering what all the fuss is about, it's the new magnetic strip on the back of the Wilkes UniversityIDcardsthatiscausing such a frenzy. Many students were annoyed when they learned upon their return that they must update their ID card. Not only did they have to stand in lines for books, financial aid forms, and class schedules, but now students had to stand patiently in a new line. As students forced themselves through the wait, their minds wondered what the point of all this was. "The point of the magnetic sttip," said Mr. PaulO ' Hop, VicePresidentfor Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterp1ises, "is to provide maximum security for the Wilkes Campus." With the development of the magnetic strip, Wilkes is hoping to convert the entire campus into a united infrastructure system. Although at the present time, the ID can only be used as a meal card and to enter parking lots, within a few years the whole campus will revolve around the magnetic strip. For the students, this is an improvement compared to the prese nt system. Instead of ''I'm Hungry... howabouttheSUB?'' opening a door with a key, one only has to insert their card in the slot. For the administration, there are even greater advantages. When entering the parking lots with the ID card , the time, date and length of the visit is recorded on a slip of paper. This can be reviewed by officials so maximum security can be enforced. Another advantage is since the lines for the system will run underground instea d of ove rhead , Co eral Motors C orp. in Colorado fast and save for later on Springs, Colorado) originally said in the day.

He added that dropping foreign languages from the core, "make their study look more attractive to the student body" and feels it,"should be advantageous to the depaitment in the long run." According to Dr. Walter Karpinich , enrollment has dropped slightly in low level courses, as would be expected. But he's confident that it is good for the department to have only interested students enrolled. He thinks that, "Foreign language study should not be a blind requirement with no rationale and enhances students' character, education, and employability." Dr. Karpinich is optimistic that the future of the department looks good. But comments from the faculty paint a vastly different picture. Dr. Robert Steele, the department's French professor, says that he and another faculty member have received notices of termination from the University. Dr. Steele states that the reason given for his dismissal is, "declining enrollment" and admits that his class size this year is, "two-thirds to threefourths of what it had been in the past." Together, they comprise two-thirds of the department's full- time professors. Dr. Karpinich is the third. The remaining courses have been taught by adjunct faculty in the past, but surely the loss of both professors cannot be absorbed by part-time professors. Steele wonders what will happen to the study of French and Spanish on campus since next year there will be no one to teach them. Who will teach the truly motivated students? Dr. Steele had only this to say, "I have absolutely no idea what the future of his department is ." onstruction Corner ofthemajorconstruc1ects that Wilkes Unihas been working on is and improved bookLocated on the corner th River and South adjacent to Bedford the bookstore will be ted into the new Stumon Dining Complex, th them ail room, vari- ough many people, lythestudents, would a larger bookstore, te size has not been set ds to be pro gram med architects. architects chosen for hthedesigning group ve their own opinions gthe new bookstore, several students also feel a few suggestions should be made. Melissa Koslap remarked, "I don't totally dislike the bookstore, but I think there is so much more they could do with it. I really liked the new idea of the cards. It's so much easier to walk to the bookstore for a card, rather than going to the square." Liz Achaaf feels, "the new bookstore should include some type of convenient store atmosphere. Maybe if there were more accessible items, a larger number of students would go there for more than just the books." Another problem that has really annoyed the students us the fact that the present bookstore is very crowded. Marisa Rae suggests, "when the new bookstore 1s built, I think they should have a separate line just for returns and exchanges. It's really a hassle when you have to wait 20 minutes just to return one book. " Lance Costello agrees the lines are too long, but also remarks that a definite munber of book orders need to be made. "Too many times I've gone there and the books I need have been out. It may not be their fault, but I think an ample supply should be kept in stock so we don't have these problems every time we go to get books." Administration is very aware of the students needs and hope that the overall layout will accommodate with what they'd like to see. All in all, a lot of time, money, and planning has been put into this new project and hopefully everyone at Wilkes University will benefit in the long run. S.G.

USAir Crash deadJieq since 1987 Veto Overturned By REGINA FRAPOLLI News Editor By REGINA A. FRAPPOLI News Editor It was the deadliest crash in the United States since 1987. On September 8, 1994, at approximately7:10pm, USAir Flight 427 took a nosedive and crashed, killing 127 passengers and five crew members. There were no survivors. The flight was scheduled to leave O' Hare at 4:50 p.m. and aITive at the Pittsburgh International Airport near Aliquippa, Pa. at 7:09 pm . Although the flight was running a few minutes behind schedule, the Public Relations department at USAir reported that "the crew radioed in to Pittsburgh tower when the aircraft was within six miles of the airport and there was no indica- Do tion at that time of any difficulty." Routine maintenance checks which are done every 1,150 hours, were completed on July 20, 1994. The heavy maintenance check, which is done every 11,000 hours, was completed in February 1993. According to the USAir Public Relations Office, "the aircraft was manufactured in October 1987. It had accumulated a total of 23,846 flying hours and completed 14,489 cycles (takeoffs and landings)." Captain Peter Germano, 45, of Moorestown, NJ, and first officer Charles B. Emmett III, 38, of Nassau Bay, Texas, were the 2 pilots on board. Captain Ge1mano had been employed with USAir since February 1981, and had 9,112 hours of total flying time, 3,269 hours in 737-300 aircrafts. First Officer Emmett, who had 9,119 hours total flying time and 3,645 hours in the 737-300 aircraft, had been employed with USAir since February 1987. Of the 132 people on the flight, there were four people who were residents of Wyoming Valley. Our prayers and thoughts are with the following families : Dwight Evans of Tunkhannock Twp., Charlie Famtacha of Montoursville, B1ian Nichols of Nanticoke, and Daniel Kafcas of Trucksville. Wilkes-Barre creates wall of diversity They said that they would oveITide it and they did. Last Thursday, September 8, the Wilkes-Barre City Council unanimously overrode Mayor Namey's veto, which was presented before council on July 14, 1994, prohibiting, "standing, sitting, walking or idly milling about..., obstructing pedestrians ... , and ... begging." When the loitering ordinance was first proposed to rid the streets of undesirables such as prostitutes and gangs, Namey felt the wording was too vague. He vetoed the bill in hopes that clarifications could be m stating, "if I can hardly und stand the meaning of the wor how could the people on streets." Since the councilmen f very strongly about the or nance, instead of removin~ from their agenda, they agr to make amendments. Although Mayor Namey still unsure about the ordinan he said, "almost all the ite that seemed "vague" were r vised.

One of my fondest memories freshman year was laughing hysterically ·when a younger student asserted that one of the main things that differentiated "us" from "them" was that we had more spare time.

At that precise moment my concentration was divided between an ongoing lecture, six piles of "waiting" laundry, a Cub Scout meeting that evening and some pressing financial concerns.

Box 111 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 �<ebitoral Procrastination is a terrible thing. Unfortunately, many of us are procrastinators. So the questions arise: Is it our generation? Is it a college thing? Is it societal or are we just lazy? Of course, none of us want to consider ourselves lazy, that would be too self-destructive. But are we? Or are we too easliy distracted from our obligations as we wander off on tangents? Is it our generation? Generation X, as Rush Limbaugh and many other people have labeled us, has taken a lot of hits. We have no identity according to many an anlysist, so that would strike the generation theory. If we as a group have no identity, then we have no common traits, right? Is it a college thing? Maybe. As students, most of us wait until the last minute to do research papers, daily homework assignments and study for exams. There are some among us who truly do work systematically and follow a time schedule. And there are many of us who say every semester, "I am going to do everything on time this year. I am going to start my research project the second week of class and diligently work on it all semester." And, like New Year's resolutions, it usually doesn't happen. Well, if it is a college thing, do we leave it in college after we graduate? Chances are we don ' t. Once we get used to waiting for the last minute to do something, we will probably never try to do it in advance. Unless, of course, we learn our lesson early. At '{!];JJe ~e11co11 , we have not yet learned our lesson. One would think we would have by now. We seem to be unable to get our paper together before the early morning hours of Thursday.

Preceding the ground breaking ceremony, Greentree Nurseries removed and replanted a hydrangea and two holly trees. The Allentown fi.tm owns one of the largest tree spades in the United States and charges $250 per hour for tree removal. Each tree that is removed will cost the university between $5,000 and $10,000.

The u-ansplantation process would leave little chance for the tree's survival. Many students and faculty are concerned about the well-being of the uees,especiallythehydrangea, which seems to be a favorite. All can rest easy.

Greyholill~ a ~ Lady Colon---·· By ANGIE ZA WA TSKI Sports Writer It was quite obvious Saturday that the Lady Colonels were out to play a great game. Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as planned, thanks to a tough Moravian team that defeated Wilkes 1-0 in an evenly matched game. Coming off their first loss of the season to Lebanon Valley on Thursday, the Lady Colonels had very little time to rebuild. The evident enthusiasm of the Lady Colonels helped Wilkes dominate the entire game at every aspect, except where it mattered the most, on the scoreboard. After a scoreless first half, Moravian 's Sue Zimmennan scored the only goal following a penalty corner, with 30:31 left in the game. The most disappointing play of the game came with 20:21 left on the clock. Wilkes scored an apparent goal that was called back because of an off sides call.

Cowboys still Super? Many questions about the two-time defending Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys have been answered in the first two weeks of the season . A big question this pre-season dealt with Barry Switzer's ability to coach in the NFL. Many football analysts said Jerry Jones' decision to hire Switzer as a replacement for a great motivator like Jimmy Johnson would be devastating to a team that can win an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl. Switzer, who hasn't coached any level of football in six years is very similar to Johnson. Both have won national championships on the college level and both have the motivation to carry a team. Johnson built the current Dallas team and won two Super Bowls. He achieved his goal quicker then expected and he had nothing left to prove in Dallas. Switzer, has a fresh drive to win the Super Bowl and he'd love to accomplish this in his rookie season. He has done a great job of just being a "willing observer" and not trying to take over the team. His motivation could be the key to unlocking a third straight Super Bowl victory. Don't get me wrong, Switzer didn't inherit an average team. Although, they have been dismantled a bit, the core of the team is still present. The offense will still score 23.5 points a game, but the defense was questioned this pre-season, due to freeagency losses. The big blow to the team was the departure of AllPro linebacker Ken Norton. So far, replacement Robert Jones has been superb. This shouldn't be a surprise, considering Jones started 13 games at linebacker as a rookie in 1992, when Dallas had the NFL's top-rated defense. In the 1994 season opener, Dallas faced a Steeler ream that was supposedly "threatening" to the Cowboys. The turning point of the contest was two-straight sacks by defensive end Charles Haley in the first quarter. After that, the Pittsburgh offense was paralyzed.

On a key third down at the Dallas 20 yard line, late in the third quarter, safety DaITen Woodson intercepted a pass that set up a scoring drive capped by a 53 yard TD reception by Alvin Harper. Harper's TD proved to be pivotal in Dallas ' 2017 win. It's too early to say if Dallas will win the Super Bowl, but under extreme pressure the past two weeks, Dallas has responded as a Super Bowl team should, by winning. �Volleyball team spiked By RY AN ALSTON ► Staff Writer On Tuesday, September 13, the Wilkes University women 's volleyball team battled the Albright Lions at The Marts Gymnasium. Coming off a strong performance in the King 's tournament, Wilkes did not come out with the same intensity, dropping three sets. Coach Haslin said, "They're a much better team (Wilkes) than they showed tonight, it was the first game jitters." Albright jumped out to an early 10-1 lead in the first set. Wilkes played hard but was unable to come back from such a large deficit and fell 15-3. Wilkes hied to regroup and come back. In the second set, Wilkes tied the score at three, before Albright explo ded fo r ten straight points and ended the set with another outburst of five straight points. After dropping the first two sets and being put on the defensive, Wilkes came out very intense! y and kept the game close. Albright had a very deep squad and physically wore down the Wilkes team , opening a 10-5 lead before ending the match 15-5. Wilkes got a strong effort from sophomore front blocker, off hitter, Samantha Smart, who, when asked when asked about the loss, stated, "We need to work in practice on defensive play and team spirit." ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► Al thou. ~ ~ TAC011ELL® f Bring your hungry friends into The Bell, and scarf down a load of tantilizing TACO BELL, food and get a fat discount to boot! ~ ► ~ ► thomeon , very imp rlying thE ackages.

Although the packages made the freshmen feel more at home on campus, there was a very important reason underlying the selling of the care packages. The committee raised approximately $1,000 to help cover the cost of bringing AIDS Awarness Week to Wilkes. The committee sent letters to the parents of the freshmen, offeri ng to send in exchange for a s mall fee, a basket full of college essentials. The baskets contained soda, juices, snack foods , fruits, pens, a Wilkes keychain and other small items including toothbrushes and coffee mugs. Kristie Hallam, an AIDS Awarness Committee Member said, "We feel the care packages went over real well. The parents response was great. The underlying cause was not just to make the freshamen fell welcome ut to help further the education of AIDS Awarness ." AIDS Awareness Week is November 28 to December "' 2. The keynote speaker for this year will be Hydeia Broadbent, a ten-year-old girl from Las Vegas, Nevada, who was born with the HIV virus that causes AIDS. She will be speaking on Tuesday, November 29, at 7 pm in the Wilkes University Center for the Performing Arts. Other events include lee- ture discussions , S .T.A.R. Theater, a group or 11 yo ung · people ages 13-24, who will perform a theratrical production called "On the Edge," an AIDS awareness and inform ation dramatical presentation.

By STEPHANIE KRAMER Staff Writer Each summer, at the begmning of August, the contents of a thin envelope are nervously awaited, anticipated, and contemplated by college students everywhere. Inside, they find a single sheet of paper that marks their fate for the next three months. We know this better as the tuition bill. In these times of rapidly rising college costs, both at public and p1ivate institutions, tuition increases unfortunately come to be accepted every year. However, many public universities are finding their halls more crowded every year, as private educations simply become unaffordable for many working and even middle class families . In 1987-88, Wilkes College had the highest tuition and fee rate of the five local colleges and universities: King's, Marywood, Misercordia, and the U niversity of Scranton. Today, Wilkes is over $850 cheaper to attend than Scranton, and within $200 of the cost of attending any of the other three institutions. Nonetheless, let's face it. This place is not "cheap", even though it is cheaper than most private colleges. It is often difficult for students to realize how expensive it is to actually operate a university; thus mandating such an increase. Student's tuition pays 75% of the operating budget. Dr. J. Michael Lennon, Vice President of Academic Affairs said, "faculty salaries constitute a large percentage of the bill. This year there are 13 8 faculty members at Wilkes, only slightly more than last year. Return faculty were given a modest raise and better benefits this year than previously. Building upkeep, both of classroom buildings and d01ms, is also a major expense. Remember that many build11 ings on campus arc more than 100 years old. Many of the older homes and building experienced problems with their roofs and heating systems, due to the hard winter, including Capin Hall, which is cuITently undergoing renovation. Parking improvements have also been expensive. With the university renting spaces in Park - N ·· Lock South, more security guards had to be added to the staff. Eventually, a walkway to the Park · N ~ Lock will be created with lights and surveillance cameras for added security. A percentage of our tuition is also funding the development of new university projects. One or these is a fiberoptic cable system which will allow telephone access, cable TV, and computer hookup to all do1ms on campus, except McClintoc k and BaITe. New computer labs will also be installed in the new classroom building . In athletics, the pressbox at Ralston Field is being upgraded and additional sports coaches and interns are being hired. Dr. Lennon was very optimistic about the new improvements in store for Wilkes. Despite the increases in tuition, he reported that Wilkes still intends to remain a moderately priced school with maximum potential. �~be ,Seacon · t)age 2 ~eptember 22, 1994 To smoke or S tudent Student Raped ' teac h.1ng not to smoke begins By REGINA F RA PPOL LI News Editor On Monday, September 12 at approximately 10:30 pm, a female student reported thatshe was raped while returni ng to her dorm room after night class. The assailant is repo11ed as a 30-40 year old white male. The assault occurred behind the Dorothy Dickson D arte building in the area adjacent to Temple Israel. Dean Lampe-Groh, the Dean of Student Affairs is very concerned with student safety. She has listed some precautions that she hopes the· students will abide by when walking home at night. -Do not under any circ umstances walk alone past dusk. -Call security if you need an esc011. -After dark, travel well-established routes s uch as South River Street. -Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. -Instead ofusing dark walkways, walk in lighted areas w here you can be seen.

If a student calls for an escort, one of the security guards will accompany the student from one on-campus location to another. A new edition to Wilkes secu1ity is the new roving secu1ity g~rd, who will be walking a beat between Weckesser, Park -N-Lock South and South Street as of last night.

To take advantage or this service all the student needs to do is call the above number, give their current location, ask for an escort, and state their desired destination. Students are strongly urged to take advantage of the services Wilkes University has for their students. Gerald Cookus, Chief of Secmity, has two daughters attending Wilkes Unive rsity whom he gives the same advice as to other students on campus. "Use the Escort Service. Be very careful, stay in groups and avoid any possible indication of trouble rather than walk intc it." Remember - 4999 for Campus Escort Service. I ' By KALEN CHURCHER Staff Writer The debate between smokers and non-smokers is an old issue, but ce11ainly not a dead issue. No n-sm okers express their right to breathe clean air while smokers defend their right to pursue happiness. To accommodate both sides of the de bate, Wilkes University is doing its part by designating a specific area of Stark Learn ing Cen ter's lobby forthe smokers. According to Vice Preside nt Paul O'Hop, a portion of Stark will be enclosed with glass walls so that smokers will be able to relax with their cigarettes while not infringing on the rights of others. A venting system will also be installed to circulate the air. Originally, the lobby of Stark was to be used by commuters so that they would have a place to relax between classes. However, the lobby is now used by anyone who wishes to get together with friends . Many of these students are smokers and those who do not like that "smokey smell" must fi nd another place to go. While the recommendation was to make Wilkes a smokefree campus, many smokers protested the idea, and the University has decided on what Mr. O'Hop considers a, "compromised solution" . Currently, engineers are looking into a venting system and walls have already been ordered . Ir all goes as planned. the smoking section will he in full operation by late October. By JENNA PORPIGLIA and NIC K SPECHT Staff Writers • • I Thirty-one Wilkes University student teachers have begun their teaching duties for the Fall '94 semester. The student teaching program runs from September 12 through December 16. During that time the students will earn 15 credits plus valuable fulltime teaching experience. The school districts where the student teachers will work include: Wilkes-Ba1Te Area, Tunkhannock, Wyoming Area, Wyoming Valley West, Hanover Area, Dallas, Northwest Area, Pittston. Old Forge. Riverside, and Mid-Valley. According to Professor Edwin Johnson, the program· s director, after student teachers successfully complete their semester of teaching in secondary education, elementary education, or early childhood education they can go on to graduate school or seek a teaching job. Several of thestudentteachers we spoke to are enjoying their teac ing duties including making lesson plans, helping individual students with school assignments, and dealing with disciplinary problems. Heather Smurl, a student teacher of the fifth grade at Heights Elementary School, felt that, "the diversity in the classroom was unexpected."

Anyone interested from the community was welcome to attend the festivities, which were held at the Kirby Health Center located on 71 N. Franklin St., WilkesBarre. A number of children attended and were welcome to participate in numerous ativities such as face painting, a magic show, and various other games. Parents who participated were escorted around to the different displays which explained the program and what the Children 's Association is all about. The program, WVCA, provides family centered services to children who are developmentally disabled. Whether they have cerebral palsy, down syndrome, or a mental deficiency to name a few, the Children's Association offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, preschool programs, parent programs, family support groups and medical services.

Some ideas for es tab lishing credit and repairing an unfavorable credit rating fo llow: 1. Open a checking or savings account at a local bank. Manage these accounts carefully and use checks to pay for goods and services at area stores. Creditors consider checking and savings accounts as a sign of stability. 2. Apply for a store or gasoline credit card. Their policies tend to be more lenient toward extendin g credit than the major card iss uers. 3. Pay all bills promptly. 4.

What would our world be like if they hadn ' t? Granted. Wilkes University is pretty far removed from the implications of a military invasion, but is it? If there had been an invasion, it would have affected all of us both direct,y and indirectly. There are many students on this campus who have military obligations, more than most of us realize. For those of us who do, we have spent the last couple of weeks in limbo, hoping everything would work itself out before we were called back into active service. For those students that do not have military obligations, they would still feel the effects of a military invasion. Classmates, friends and relatives could have been called away. In a worse-case scenario, they might have been drafted themselves. But it didn 'thappen, so why should we worry about it right? Or should we? U.S. troops landed in Somalia and that went well for the first couple weeks, but then things turned sour. American service men and women lost their lives in Somalia. Will similar events take place in Haiti? Will service members loose their lives again? And why give General Cedras until October 15 to resign his power? Shouldn't he have been ousted immediately? And what about Aristide? Is he a competent, stable leader? with his political history, should we feel safe with Arstide in power? With so many unanswered questions, the Haitian situation is, by no means, stable . How do you reel about the threat of military invasion to force the military heads to respond to the wishes of the U.S. government? Do you believe the President should continue to send U.S. troops to the "hotspot"' countries through out the world? Please think carefully and r.::spond responsibility.

In the interest of promoting accuracy in reporting , however, I should like to note that the article " fore ign language is no longer required' " did not quite reflect what I said, or how I said it, in my brief telephone interview with the staff reporter. Be assured, however, that we value your effort and look forw ard to your continued interest in and future articles on the Department. U bung macht den Meister ' To the Editor, Does the Wilkes guide to learning, which states, "An educated man or woman ... is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among all people," no longer hold true? We are writing in response to a recent article in 'Ol:IJc ]lacacon. In the Campus Life section, there was an article concerning the Foreign Language Department. We are concerned with the changes that are underway. We would appreciate straightforward answers for the questions we are about to put before you from someone that has a clear understanding or what is going on. First and foremo st, our major grievance concerns the future of the Foreign Language Department and its students, as well as the effects of upcoming changes on the university as a whole . Can we realistically expect to main- tain Wilkes' concept of internationalization by minimizing the Foreign Language Depa1tment? The article stated that at least two-thirds of the department have recieved their letters of termination. Are we truly preparing our students for a culturally diverse society by minimizing their oppurtunities to experience other cultures ? Won ' t this affect other departments ' options, such as Business, International Studies, Psychology, Pharmacy, etc? Other universities are reinforcing cultural diversity by expanding their foreign language departments. Can Wilkes maintain a competitive edge and produce students of the same caliber as other universities? Wilkes boasts diversity in both its student body and its faculty. By not supporting this diversity, isn ' t this being hypocritical? We question the motives behind these changes. Because enrollment has declined in some languages, does this give the university the right to make students such as those who attended Wilkes because of the expe1tise of our current faculty members, suffer? Will this practice of streamlining a department be universal for all departments with declining enrollment? For instance, if enrollment decreases in the Engineering department, would this practice occur? In conclusion , is this a diturbing trend or is it simply a commandment handed down by the gods of Wilkes University'? Dear Editor: To the Editor: Every now and again this own football games!!!

McGraw was still bitter at Ban Johnson, president of the American League, for suspending McGraw several years before, and McGraw refused to have anything to do with the American League. * The Giants won the National League pennant again in 1905, however, this time the Giants played, only because the Giants' players were still angry about losing their $1,000 World Series Bonus the year before. And through two World Wars, one police action, a great depression, an earthquake, a presidential assassination, social and cultural revolutions, the cold war, the resignation of a President, and even the birth of the New York Mets, the World Seiies has been a fall institution. No matter the adversity that Americans may face, the World Series has always been our connection to our past, to our present, to our future, through good times and bad, the World Series gave all Americans the insight into our future, one season at a time. Whatever the changes that we, as Americans, may face, baseball and the World Series will always connect the generations. But now, it's gone; the victim of greed and arrogance. Ninety years of tradition thrown away by the current inheritors of our national pastime, Lhose who have deemed Lhemselvcs imponanL enough Lu Linker wiLh the fundamentals or an institution . But what is just as disturbing is the fan apathy toward the cancellation of the World Series. In our ten-second sound bite society organization, that brought our society competition, the sport that brought our society together, is declining because all of us are losing that link with the future, too concerned with our petty squabbles of today and not concerned with our future. Unfortunately, baseball is just following the trend , a retlection of the larger trends in our society. When the future historians debate the decline of the United States, they will look toward this baseball season as the beginning of the end. What a fitting epitaph to the close of the American Century. t)age 7 lble <!Cbatter with Michael Butchko Ir Rush Limbaugh has Dittohcads, and Jerry Garcia has Deadheads (unless you entered the Dead fold after 1987, then you ' re a Touch Head) , can we assume that this entity has produced Chatter Heads?

In loving memory of Tyrone Tutt By LYNNMAR1E ROSEN CRANCE Editor-in-Chief There is a smile, a laughter, and a song missing from the cafeteria this year. The smile, laughter and song belonged to Tyrone Tutt, a 17 year veteran at the Wilkes University cafeteria. But Tyrone was more than just a 17 year vet at the cafe. He was the cafe's lifeline, its heartbeat, its heart. Many of you probably knew Tyrone. In the morning you may have passed by and heard his morning "heyyyy" . This was the symbol of the beginning of another day at the cafeteria, not a day went by without Tyrone. Tyrone Tutt was more than an outstanding worker who received an award from Monison' s Cafeteria for never being late nor missi ng a day of work in all those yems. He was more than just a hard-workingemployee who always helped out his fellow workers hy refilling the milk containers on the cafcte1ia floor or lining heavy objects for some of the ladies with whom he worked. He was a wann,caiing, giving, happy man who shared all of his heait with everyone he came in contact with. He was a man who cared so much for the children that Michael Jackson was his idol because of all Jackson did for the children of the world. He was so in awe of Jackson that he used to say "Thank Michael" instead of "Thank God". When something good happened to Tyrone, he used to say it was because "Michael" was looking after him. He was a man who would do anything for anyone. He cared so much for all of the P'"Ople in his life. Ifhe overheai·d students talking about a party over the weekend, he would tell them, "never you mind about that, you hit the books! School is ver'y imp011ant." Bishop Hoban High School even did a video feature on him because he would tell them the same thing. Tyrone was a m,rn who would give you the shirt off his hack if you needed it He loved and he was loved. This summer he passed away and the cause or his death is still under suspicion. But his memory will never fade. It hums b1ighter than any star known to man. For all or the students who knew him. remember his smile, his laughter and his song. May his memory live always within us. Tyrone, you will not be forgotten. =enter. Christmas 1991. bottom left. Christmas 1990. bott o m center. Christmas 1987. bottom right. l'vlcxican night al the cafeteria .

Leading the way for the Colonels was sophomore sensation Ryan Alston. The speedy wide receiver, almost single handely di ssected Lebanon Valley ' s defense and special teams with two touchdown receptions, a two-point conversion and a 70 yard punt retur1;1 touchdown. In the first quarter, Alston's spectacular 37 yard touchdown catch from pre-season alf-amcrican quarterback Boo Pen-y capped a six play 63 yard drive. Lebanon Valley tied the score in the second quarter, when Lebanon Valley quarterback Alan Futrich hit B.J. Frey with a 10 yard touchdown pass. Colonel kicker, Joel O'Donnell displayed his ability as a future star in the MAC. The j unior hit two field goals, from 36 and 29 yards respectively , to give t 11 e Colonels a 13-7 lead halftime . Perry set off fireworks with a six play, 86 yard scoring drive, topped off by a 16 yard to uchdow n pass to wide receiver Bill Butkey, to open the second half. Wilkes converted the two-point conversion when PeITy hit Alston to increase the lead to 21-7. The most exciting player in the MAC could possibly be Alston. nected with Alston, on a 9 yard touchdown pass with 3:25 left in the third quarter, on a drive set up by a Joe Woodward interception at the Lebanon Valley 40.

By JOHN DORSEY Staff Writer Unfortunately, when we go to Wilkes athletic events this year, there will be no helicopters motorcades, horses, unicycles.or dummy-dragging gocarts. The Colonel Bob era is over. Filling the shoes of Bob Wachowski will not be an easy task. There are not many who could perform the antics that Bob did. This year, Wilkes opted for a costume and mask-wearing mascot, and although many expected a disappointing reaction, not many expected what was to happen at the home football opener last Saturday. Fans heckled the new mascot, yelling "You ' re not Colonel Bob !" And these fans were not just a few rowdy college students, some of them were par- ents and other older adults. One woman even attempted to trip the Colonel after he tried to shake hands with her. While the games may not be quite the same without Colonel Bob , it is ce11ainly poor spirit on the part of the fans to put down anyone who represents the Colonels, especially the team mascot. Although no one may be able to fill the shoes of Colonel Bob, fans need to support the Colonel, regardless of who it is. Photo by .Meghfip La,Yigna ...

He·s been a Most Valuable Player, he 's won a batting crown, he 's been an All-Star and he's won countless Gold Glove Awards . But, New York Yankee First Baseman, Don Mattingly, has one goal to achieve to fulfill his baseball career. His goal is to play post-season baseball, before age gets the best of him . Mattingly, 33, and the Yankees were destined to make the playoffs this season, until the tlreaded strike disrupted play on August 12. Now with the 1994 season officially over, without any type of post-season, Mattingly's .304 batting average and the Yankees 6 1/2 game lead in the Ame1ican League East are worthless. The post-season has been within reach several times , since Mattingly's rookie season of 1983. But, like a long-distance runner collapsing 20 yards from the finish line, the Yankees could never linish strong. In 198 5 and '8(- . the Yankees finished second, 2 games behind Toronto and 5 1/2 games behind Boston. The 1987 season saw the Yankees with a 3 game lead in the American League East at the AU-Star break. Injuries proved to be fatal in the second half as the Yankees plummeted to fourth place, 9 games out of first. An obviously frustrated Mattingly predicted the Yankees to win the 1988 American League East pennant, in the spring of that year. But, Ma_ttingly and the Yankees didn't live up to expectations as the te;i m fini~hPrl fifth, 3 1/2 games behind Boston. The 1989-1992 seasons were primarily rebuilding campaigns for the Yankees. In this period, a nagging back injury caused Mattingly to bat a disappointing .286 with 51 HR 'sand · 309 RBI's. This coming from the same player who batted .3.:n with 119 HR's and 483 RBl"s in his first four full seaso ns. Last season, the Yankees were contenders, but the multi talented Toronto ball club ran away with the pennant ancl the championship. The bright spot for the 1993 Yankees was that they led the Major Leagues in team hitting . -Led by Mattingly, Wade Boggs, Paul O ' Neill and Mike Stanley, this was an important confidence builder for the 1994 Yankees. With Boggs and Mattingly having consistent seasons and O'Neill and pitcher Jimmy Key having career seasons, the only thing to keep the Yankees out of the post-season would be some sort of cancellation. Like a curse, the cancellation happened last week with acting commissioner Bud Selig announcing the end of season, because the owners and players couldn ' t resolve the 34 day strike. Dming the strike, Mattingly mentioned retirement and with the 1995 season now in question, his last serious playoff contention may have also ended last week. If so, years from now he'll look back in disgust, knowing his possible "dream season" was ended by a group of businessmen fitted in expensive suits, sitting at a negotiations table.
