oble
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of ' 07:

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but
your living room.

Wear sunscreen:
If I could offer you only one tip for the future , sunscreen would
be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. l will dispense this
advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You
will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until
they 've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you 'II look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how
much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really
looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don 't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying
is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things
that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blind side
you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.

Read the directions , even if you don't follow them .
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel
ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be
gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings. They 're your best link to your past
and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious
few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in
geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more
you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you
hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it
makes you soft.
Travel.

Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with
people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead,
sometimes you 're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's
only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. lf you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don 't feel gui lty if you don 't know what you want to do with
your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at
22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most
interesting 40 year olds I know still don't know.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians
will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you 'II
fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble, and children respected their ciders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have
a trust fund. Maybe you 'll have a wealthy spouse. But you
never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40
it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, buy be patient with those
who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it
is a way of fishing the past from the disposal ,wiping it off,
painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them
when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won 't.
Maybe you ' ll have children, maybe you
won 't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe
you 'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th
anniversary. Whatever you do, don't
congratulate yourself too much, or berate
yourself either. Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can.
Don 't be afraid of it or of what other people
think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll
ever own.

- Kurt Vonnegut -

ampus events were always something students looked
forward to because it was a way to pass the time. Whether it
was going to a comedy show put on by Lewis Black or a concert
put on by Recycled Percussion, students always had a great
time participating in these events. Campus events were put on
by different clubs and organizations on campus. Programming
Board and Student Government were just some of the clubs and
organizations that held activities on campus. Events such as
Club Day, Casino Night, and Josh Blue were some of the more
recognized events that took place at Wilkes University.

Freshman Orientation kicked off in the
smnmer before the semester started.
During the months of June and July the
Freshman Class got together for fun and
games. The event began in the UComm
where students played ice breakers
to get to know each other. Students
also got to participate in a community
service project. Some of the projects
included cleaning the river and helping
to organize the library. Incoming
students also had the chance to witness
the night life of Wilkes University by
participating in Casino Night. Students
had the opportunity to win many prizes
such as Ipods, TVs, Sound Systems, and
computer peripherals. Students left

how Wilkes University would be when
they returned in the fall.

2006-2007

Homecoming is traditionally thought of as fun , food, and football for students.
However, homecoming is much more to those students who
return to Wilkes University years after graduation. For them, it's
about catching up, honoring important people, and most importantly coming home.
This year the Wilkes University Alumni Office honored the
class of 1956 for its 50th anniversary during homecoming weekend.
Sandra Carroll, executive director of alumni relations said, " Our
goal is to eventually honor every reunioning class." The class of
1957 already has a committee in place for next year. On Friday
evening Wilkes hosted a Golden Colonel Induction ceremony and
a President's breakfast on Saturday morning as well as a pre-game
announcement all of which sought in different ways to honor the
class.
The homecoming dinner dance was held on Friday, October
6 at Genetti's from 6:00-11:00 p.m. Here's the court was introduced, appetizers and dinner was served, and a live DJ provided
entertainment. The DJ will be playing top songs of today. Choices
for dinner were chicken francese , prime rib and patsta primavera.
Dessert was chocolate parfait.

contest, leading up to the big game and dance. The
Pep Rally was held Friday night to get all of the
students pumped up for the game. It was packed
with students who all gathered on the Greenway.
Entertainment consisted of music and a pinata
along with performances by the Cheerleaders and
the Dance Team. Students took turns swinging at
the pinata until one student was strong enough to
break it apart. Student Government also announced
the top three men and women for the Homecoming Court. The top three men were Dave Scordino,
Andrew Eckert, and Vinny Abbot. The top three
girls were Courtney Amrhein, Jenna Strzelecki,
and Amanda Baronowski. The King and Queen
were then announced the next day at the football
game during half-time. Jenna Strzelecki and Dave
Scordino were crowned the 2006-2007 Homecoming King and Queen. Jenna is a Business and Marketing Major, Student Government President, Wilkes University E-Mentor, and Freshman Summer

Homecoming Game
2006-2007
It was the homecoming grand
finale for Wilkes University seniors,
and they all went out with a bang
by blowing out the Lycoming Warriors 37-7. One senior, Keith Cavallotti, emerged from the pack to gain
homecoming Most Valuable Player
of the game and Beacon Athlete of
the Week honors.
"]twas a great performance. He
is a great player, and he is on a great
team. Our coach asked the team to go
outthere and make plays, and he went
out there and did it," said fellow senior
defensive lineman Rex Harris.

Athlete of the
Week:
Kerth Cavollottl
"Cavollotti, senior defensive lineman from
Scranton put on a memorable defensive show with
a total of five tackles, and
a surprising three sacks of
the team's eight."
Homecoming Court 2006-2007
winners were Business Administration
graduate Jenna Strzelecki, as well as senior Biology graduate Dave Scordino.

The Colonels defense gladly shut
down the Warriors by only giving up
14 rushing yards, which equates to a
sad average of .5 rushing yards per
play. Cavallotti was at the forefront

ofthat stubborn Colonel defense, and
was a key factor in their homecoming victory.
Cavallotti 1s m the process of
leaving his mark on this year's Wilkes football story with a total of 24
tackles, 3 forced fumbles, and 8 sacks
on the season.
Junior Franklin native Jason Acquaye believes, "Cav is the shining
star of the defensive line, and he
is a great person, and great athlete,
and that combination helps gel our
defense." With the Colonels playing
efficiently winning all five of their
games, we should expect more "great"
play from Cavallotti as he leads his
defense to the promise land.

year's

This

Winter Weekend made history as

it was the first Winter Weekend to use the brand new
UCOMM facilities. Due to clouds and rain this was a major advantage for the Sunday games. Although competition ran high, it is
safe to say that students had just as much fun partying with the other

�Twenty nine students, along with four advisors, traveled to New Orleans during spring break this year, foregoing
a restful week of beach hopping in order to participate in
the effort to rebuild the Katrina-devastated areas still in dire
need of help. The group gutted homes, tore down dilapidated
sheds, hung sheetrock and talked to the locals. During the
eight hour, five day work week, the group was able to help
11 families that had been hurt by Katrina and Rita and the
aftermath that followed.

This year's Spring Fling was held at The Waterfront in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday March 31, 2007.
The theme of the dance was SWEET DREAMS. The color scheme was black, purple, and silver. The
staircase leading to the room in the downstairs was aligned with sets of black and purple balloons
which were also scattered throughout the room as decorations. Each table was decorated with a handcrafted centerpiece in the middle along with a favor at each place setting. The favor was a hurricane
glass stuffed with purple tissue paper and regular and dark chocolate Hershey's kisses. The dance
was held from 6-11 pm. Fresh vegetables were served for hors d'oeuvres before dinner. The dessert
table consisted of a variety of cheesecakes as well as fresh fruit and sweets to dip under the chocolate fountain. Music was provied by two D.J. 's from All About Entertainment. This annual event was
put together by Student Government.

�Wherever there is free food, music, and games there are bound
to be college students. This year's block party was one to remember with many activities to make the day enjoyable. The
weather was perfect and the food delicious. For the music there
were three bands that took the stage. Also, our Wilkes Idol winner, Mary Balavage, sang her winning rendition of "Somewhere
Over the Rainbow." Some of the activities that were held at
the event were bull riding, gladiator fighting, bungee racing, an
inflatable pirate obstacle course, laser tag, and inflatable oversized boxing. Students could even win pet
fish at one of the games. Of course the free
food must have had something to do with
the large student turnout. There were Gyros,
Dippin Dots, Rita's Italian Ice, and a buffet
of picnic-type food.

CEREMONY~

2007--------{

Congratulations to the Graduates of 2007 ! Due to renovations
in the greenway, this year's commencement ceremony was
held in the Wachovia Arena. Although there was a change in
location, the bittersweet sentiments remained the same. Wilkes University was lucky enough to present awards to several
outstanding students including Sarah Oley, Elizabeth Rish, Shuja Shafqat, and John Treven.
These students worked very hard to attain their stellar GPA's.
Another hard working person made a special appearance as the key note speaker
when Marlee Matlin presented her inspirational speech. As a deaf actress, Matlin demonstrated how it is possible to overcome hardships and become a successful individual.
It is hard to believe that another year has come to a close but it is the Wilkes University Commencement Ceremony that makes that closing a reality. Due to the excess space
provided by the Arena, students were able to celebrate this momentous occasion with as
many family and friends as they could possibly invite.
Congratulations class of 2007, throughout the last four, or maybe six years, you have
shown how intelligent and successful you can be in an academic environment and now it
is time for you to prove that you can be just as successful in your future endeavors. Good
luck!

Going for the goal in 2006
The Wilkes men's soccer team
ended the 2006 campaign with a
playoff loss to eventual Freedom
Conference champion DeSales,
concluding the season with an
overal1 record of 12-6-1. However, the disappointing end to the
season does not overshadow the
success this team enjoyed.
The Colonels spent a majority
of the year in the regional
rankings, climbing as high as
fourth with an 11-3 mark, before
several key injuries took their toll
over the last five games of the
season. Along the way, Wilkes
handed nationally ranked Johns
Hopkins one of their two losses
of the season. Wilkes narrowly
missed out on upsetting the
Messiah College Falcons, giving
up the game-winner in the last six
minutes ofthe match and falling2-

1 to the now three-time defending
national champions. After
finishing 5-1-1 in conference
play, the Colonels earned the
second seed in the post-season
conference tournament. All but
one of the Colonels' non-winning
results this season came against
teams that were ranked regionally
or nationally during some point
in the season.
After this season, the eight
graduating seniors on the team
will be missed. Dominik Proctor,
Mike Bridy, Paul Gideon, Matt
Foreman, Tim Butzek, Bryan
Riley, Justin Leach, and Steve
Uhas guided the Colonels to three
consecutive post-season playoff
berths.

�TEAM STATS
2007 ... Fastball Season

We finished the year 24-13 ,
having lost 8 games to weather
and other issues. Overall it
was a good season but a season
that could have been a bit better. Our goals for the season
were a conference championship and 30 wins. If we played
the 8 games we couldn't, we
may have reached the 30 win
goal. As for the second goal
we missed out on that by one
swing of the bat in the last
game of the year. We entered
the conference playoffs as the
#2 seed but lost our first game.
We had to come back through
the loser's bracket and play Saturday morning. We managed
to win three consecutive games
to put us in the championship
game. We led after 4 innings
but a grand slam home run in
the 5th inning, ended our hopes
and ended our season.
The team had many successes as our players were
named to various all star teams.
Laurie Agresti, Erin Plank, and
Gina Stefanelli were named
to the Freedom Conference
first team, while Samantha
Evanich, Kathy Dalton, and
MeLisa Bracone were named
to the second team. Laurie
Agresti was named the conference pitcher of the year for the
fourth consecutive year. In
addition Laurie Agresti was
named a first team Regional All
America, and a third team All
America. She became just the
third softball player in Wilkes
long history of softball named
to be an All American.

How it all began ...
The institution we know today as
Wilkes University began in 1933 ...
when Bucknell University established its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Bucknell
University Junior College (BUJC) attracted eager, highly motivated, and
able young persons, virtually all of
whom were the first members of their
families to benefit from higher education.

The Junior College also received support and encouragement from leading
members of the Wilkes-Barre community. The stately mansions that
are now used as residence halls and
offices are a testament to the tradition of community service and
generosity characteristic of the
Wilkes-Barre area's leadership.
In 1947, Wilkes College was in stituted as an independent, nondenominational...
four-year college, with programs in the arts, sciences, and
a number of professional fields as well as a full program of extra-curricular activities. Designation as Wilkes University in 1990 capped an eventful and
productive half-century of deve lopment and signaled the beginning of a new era
of progress as an increasingly distinguished and prominent academic institution.
In 2005, the "new" Henry Student Center was expanded and ...
the University purchased an 80,000 square foot building in downtown Wilkes-Barre.

Graduation is only a concept. In
real life every day you graduate.
Graduation is a process that goes
on until the last day of your life.
lfyou can grasp that, you'll make
a difference.

You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may
think of it as the ticket to the good
life. Let me ask you to think of
an alternative. Think of it as your
ticket to change the world.

I hope your dreams take you to
the comers of your smiles, to the
highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and
to the most special places your
heart has ever known.

ur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness that
most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who
are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children
do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that
is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
~Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the
Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992

Marlee Beth Matlin was born on August 24, 1965 , to Don and
Libby Matlin; she was their third child. Marlee became deaf at the age
of 18 months due to a bout with Roseola Infantum. That didn't stop her,
though, from acting in a children's theatre company at age 7; she was
Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz." Her deafness never held her back. As an
adu lt she said it so eloquently: "I have always resisted putting limitations
on myself, both professiona1ly and personally." Marlee studied Criminal
Justice at Harper College in Palatine, I1linois, and maintained her pasion for acting after graduating.
While performing on stage throughout Chicago and the Midwest, Marlee attracted notice for her performance in a production of the
Tony award-winning play "Children of a Lesser God" and was cast in
the movie version, Children of a Lesser God (1986). Although this was
her film debut, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. While
shooti ng her next movie. Walker (1987) in Nicaragua, big-hearted Marlee took time to visit both hearing and hearing-impaired children. She
continued this tradition of visiting local children throughout her travels
to Germany, England, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Canada, etc. Her interest
in the criminal justice field played a part in her onscreen career; she portrayed an Assistant D.A. in the TV series "Reasonable Doubts" ( 1991 ),
while offscreen she married police officer Kevin Grandalski on August
29, 1993.
Marlee was nominated for an Emmy award in 1994 for her performance as Laurie Bey in the "Picket Fences" (1992) episode "Dancing Bandit." Marlee is also a spokeswoman for the National Captioning
Institute. In 1995 she testified at a Congressional hearing, and helped get
a law passed that requires a11 TV sets 13 inches or larger to be manufactured with built-in chips to provide "Closed Captioning" on their
screens; this was a godsend for deaf viewers.

The new University
Center on Main, which
has now taken the place
of the late Wilkes-Barre
call center.

Like the Jeffersons, Wilkes Unive rsity Public Safety is " movin '
on up."
Gi ven the growth of public safety personnel and equipment
over the past few yea rs, the existing offi ces in Bedfo rd Hall,
simply couldn 't afford proper maneuvering roo m. " One of my
managers has to share hi s office w ith the bike equipment," said
Bailey. The new Main Street office area fo r Public Safety will
be roughly 4,000 square feet. Bailey said, "This will provide us
enough area to put in mul tipl e offices, to have adequate storage fo r traffi c contro l equipment, bike equipment, and safe ty
equipment."

- Public Safety to Move, The Beaco n

What Are Your Thoughts?
"Our intention is to
make this area one of
the centers of university
activity."
- Chris Bailey on Einstein
Brothers Bagel Shop

" lt brings youth, excitement,
energy; you' ll see and already
see thi s fall semester an atmosphere of much more activity at
this part of So uth Main Street.
We've pushed out the less
de irable acti vities. [t a lso provides a different and additional
type of housing fo r students."
(University Towers)

"The ropes course is utilized in leadership programs
but al o by hi gh school s.
We have already had three
hi gh school groups come
in and we are scheduled to
have two more."
- Philip Ruthkosky

University Towers
People outgrow things every day from shoes and clothes to
living space .
With more and more students making Wilkes University
their home each year, the university is outgrowing its current
space and expanding into downtown Wilkes-Barre.
On June 27, 2006, the university entered into a purchase
agreement with University Towers located at 10 East South
Street. Discussion between the owners of the property and
Wilkes University started approximately two years ago. The
property was considered along with the University Center
on Main as buildings that would go together as part of a
deal. "lt's a mix of acquiring more space as well as removing
current space that in the long te1111 we won 't be able to fully
deliver to the students," said Scott Byers, vice president for
finance and suppoti services .

140 New Renovations

The purchase so lves mul tiple needs,
inc luding the univers ity's need for expansion for res ident students and the abili ty to
get out of inefficient build ings. "It a llows
us to divest fro m some properties that we
probably need to get out of and woul d
be too ex pensive ifwe were to renovate
them. The univers ity has no plans to ge t
out of the mansions. There are some of ou r
res ident fac ilities that rea lly aren't hi storic
and really need to be retired or upgraded,"
said Chri stopher Bailey, d irecto r of publi c
safety.
Tht: University Towers is a more modern
buil di ng than other dorms on-campus res idents are accostomcd to and re mains in
good co ndition from the previous ow ners.
" We've gotten very positive fee dback. I
beli eve it 's the hi ghest rated dorm , and it's
met the students' needs we ll ," said Byers.
Wilkes Uni vers ity is currentl y leasing
space at Uni versity Towers and also
looked into renovati ng other dorms. However, according to Byers, the deal with the
towers worked out to be the best in terms
of space and fi nance.

Center on Main
New Completed Renovations for 2006-2007
The
University
purchased
the
UCoM from the
city and the Redevelopment Authority of WilkesBarre in August of
2005. Acquisition
of the former Call
Center, the adjacent parking lot on South Street and
the Park-n-Lock South garage on
Main Street have provided the University with an 80,000 square foot
building plus 575 parking spaces.
The large, open space within the
UCoM has been programmed for
athletic practice and general recreation space. The facility is outfitted with a batting cage, basketball
backboards and a protective curtain
wall system. Using a multi-purpose
flooring material, there are three
courts that may be used for basketball, volleyball or tennis. This special flooring provides flexible space
that is an excellent locatin for early
spring sport practice sessions. In addition, to support the University's
Student Leadership program, there

are high ropes and a rock
wall for climbing. The
work is complete and
the Athletic Depatment
is using the facility.
The Office Project programming and design
phases are complete.
Key elements of the design concept are collaboration, integration, and teamwork.
While supporting the University's
strategic initiatives the concept has
created professional and team working environments across various
support functions to better serve our
students.
The UCOM Parking Garage Project
consisted of painting of the lobby
areas on each floor will take place
over the summer of 2006.
The garage was cleaned; structural
repairs were made; and new lighting, exit lights, and emergency telephones were installed on all floors.
Construction of the offices on the
ground floor is complete. Public
Safety relocated to the new facility
on March 17, 2006.

A Closer Look At Dorm Life

H
T

ow to avoid the freshman 15:

The "freshman 15" is not a myth.
Even if you are undaunted by the
mystery meat at the deli, you are still in
danger of at least one dining hall casualty.

ip Number One:

If you can't recognize it, don't eat

it. Last Thursday's pot roast may
have been delicious, but the leftovers have
found their way into this week's goulash.
If you are only 60% sure of the content of
Marge's mutton and cabbage stew, make
a beeline for the cereal bar and don't look
back.

G

ive yourself time to get settled

The experience of living in a
300-person residence hall is a
far cry from living with your parents and
your baby sister in a three-bedroom house.
However, with a little effort on your part
you can be just as happy, if not happier,
living with 299 neighbors and a communal
bathroom.
Like everything else in college, dorm life
is an adjustment. You may decide after a

his year's pep ralley was very exciting. The football team was getting very pumped up
for the big game against our rivals, King's CoJlege. Food, music and entertainment were
provided for the student body. The cheerleaders were spunky and did a great job cheer-

ing on the crowd as always. Student government also announced the top three men and top three
women for this year's homecoming court. The top three men were Jonathan McCJave, Arvin Narula, and Nguyen Nguyen. The top three women who made court were Megan Mance, Stephanie
Victor and Ashley McBrearty. All six contenders are very active on campus and would have been
a great attribute if they had made king or queen. The 2005 homecoming winners were Nguyen
Nguyen and Stephanie Victor. Victor is a pharmacy major from Hummelstown, PA. She is president of Programming Board, Student Government senior class president and also the treasurer of

If you have ever seen a Wilkes University production, then you
have experienced the magic of the theatre and been captured by
the talent of the students. Each production is carefully planned
and executed by faulty, staff, and students. The end result is
a night of theatre that cannot be forgotten. There are several
shows throughout the year which says a lot about how hard the
thespians work to entertain the Wilkes community. A few of the
productions included Light Up the Sky, Antigone, and Talking

�38 AJcohol Awareness Week

�Every year, during Alcohol Awareness Week,
whether they are in it for the free tee shirt or not,
students from all over campus participate in the
Walk Towards Awareness. In addition to the Walk
Towards Awareness, Wilkes features an overturned
car jn front of Kirby Hall as a reminder of the consequences of driving under the influence. The horror of the twisted metal is enough to make anyone
re-think their decision to drink and drive. If you've
missed the overturned car, there are reminders all
over campus that the combination of alcohol and
vehicles can kill. During Alcohol Awareness Week,
signs are displayed along the sidewalks of the greenway as a reminder of the many people who have
died from alcohol related accidents. Although Al-

coho] Awareness Week is jam packed with fun activities it is generally a very "sobering" experience.
Wilkes University is not a dry campus; however,
it does want students, primarily underage students,
to be aware of the dangers that involve alcohol.
Wilkes University Health Services, many of the
sports teams, and a vast number of students make
the trek across the Market Street bridge to Kirby
Park as a symbol of remembrance and also hope.
Unfortunately, too many of us have been affected
by or know someone who has been affected by an
alcohol related incident. Every year, if only one
person has been reached, our goal has been accomplished. -Kate Baas

Multi-Culturalism is a way of life here
at Wilkes University and the MultiCultural Affairs Office, led by Andita
Parker Lloyd does a fantastic job of
incorporating diversity into the lives of
every student at Wilkes. Whether we realize it or not the face of Wilkes University is
changing when it comes to diversity and it
is definitely changing for the better. With
new students from around the world there
is much more for this campus organization to celebrate.

Multi-Cultural

Awareness week is jam-packed with
events that celebrate our differences and allow each student to experience new people, culture, and ideas.
The Multi-Cultural Student Coalition has been hard
at work this year planning note-worthy events such as the International Fashion Show that was met with great success. Other events like the Celebration of the Chinese New Year, the Black Film Festival, and the Women's History Month
Celebration are all great ways to explore Wilkes as a multi-faceted University that is accepting of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as their many beliefs and customs.

�Every year, with months of planning on behalf of the teams
as well as Wilkes University Student Government, Winter Weekend
evokes a sense of competition that rivals the Olympics. The theme
is undoubtedly the most important part of the weekend. Each team
stretches the limits of their creativity as they try and come up with a
slogan that just might pass with the judges.
The 2005-2006 Winter Weekend theme was Nickolodeon
Television Shows. Considering the age group of many of the students here at Wilkes University, this was by far the favorite. The
competition for the best team name is only half of the fun. With
activities ranging from dodgeball to frozen bubble (locating frozen
bubble gum in a dish of whipped cream using only your face), a
good time was had by all.
Despite the fierce competition, there can only be one winner.
The winner of this year's competition was team Salute Your Shorts.
The Camp Anawanna theme captured the hearts of the judges with
their boxer shorts and true summer camp spirit. This team, last year's
third place winners put many weeks of planning and preparation into
this year's win. Team Leader, David Scordino was a great motivator
and crucial to the team effort.
Whether you win or lose, it is difficult to find a student on
campus that does not participate in this annual event. Not only is
this weekend about the awesome tee shirts but it is about having a
great time with friends and becoming involved with everything that
Wilkes has to offer.

If you participated in this year's Winter Weekend, I hope you
remembered to:

SALUTE YOUR SHORTS!

Spring Break
Peru and Kentucky
Community Service is very important to Wilkes University. Every
year, students from Wilkes make the
journey to various locations around
the world, with the hopes that they
can somehow make a difference.
Every year, without fail, they do
indeed make a difference whether
it is to help one person or an entire
community.
This year, the two Sprink Break
locations were Kentucky and Peru.
With the help of the Community
Service Office, our Vista Representative and the Interfaith Office, a large
group of Wilkes University students
were separated into groups and sent
to each of these locations.
The students who participated in
Alternative Spring Break had nothing

but good things to say about the program. The meetings and preparation
were well worth the memories that
they will carry with them. When
asked if they were disappointed that
they did not visit a tropical resort or
ski lodge for their spring break, the
response was overwhelming. They
could not have had a better time
anywhere else.
Tn addition to the crazy times and
memorable moments, these students
did not lose sight of what their trips
were all about. They made a difference.

�Spring Fling
Fun In The Tub
- • his year's Spring Fling was held at The Waterfront in Wilkes-Barre on Friday, March 31, 2006. The theme of the
dance was FUN IN THE TUB. The decorations and center
pieces we created with all different items that you would
find in a bathroom. The staircase leading to the room was
decorated with tiny, yellow rubber ducks lining the railing with streamer
hanging at the bottom of the stairs. In the room decorations consisted
of luffa bouquets scattered around the room with a center piece on each
table and a favor for each person. The center piece was made up of a
wire basket in the shape of a bathtub with a large colored rubber duck,
body scrub, body lotion, and a luffa with three balloons attached. The
person who won the pass the spoon game got to take home the center
piece at the end of the night. The favors were brandy glasses filled with
blue tissue paper, glass beads, mini bubbles, and a miniature, yellow
rubber duck. The dance started at 6 pm. Hors d'oeuvres were served
and consisted of fresh fruit and sweets to dip under the delectable
chocolate fountain. The dancing continued all the way until 12 am with
music provided by D.J. Magnum. This fabulously coordinated event was
sponsored by Student Government.

Campus Interfaith is a place for the students of Wilkes University to express and practice the faith of their choice. It
is also a way of getting involved in the Wilkes-Barre community. This goal is achieved through a variety of programs
throughout the year including service opportunities, prayer services, retreats and weekly meetings. It is also a great way
to continue a life of spirituality orto begin anew one .. It is a way to get in touch with the spiritual life of all faiths. Whether
one is rediscovering his/her faith or yearning to grow in it, Campus ]nterfaith can be a stepping-stone in that process.

The Wilkes University Equestrian Club had its first successful year as a
recognized Student Government Club. Members participated in riding lessons
at nearby facilities, competed in the Intercollegiate Horse Shows
Association, and helped to organize a Donkey Basketball Game on campus,

continued to grow throughout the year, and many friendships formed through
our weekly meetings, other fundraisers, and some pizza parties.

The 2005 Colonel football team enjoyed one of their
most successful campaigns in the history of the program.
Following a disappointing start of the season, losing two
of the first three games on the last play of the game; the
Colonels were able to win their remaining seven contests.
Highlighted by dramatic wins at Lycoming and Moravian, the Colonels ended their season in a "must win"
game versus their cross-town rivals Kings College with
a NCAA playoff berth at stake. The Colonels played
their best game of the season, capturing the Mayor's Cup
Trophy for the third consecutive year. The following day
the Colonels learned they had
,,__ _..._.__
earned an invitation to compete in the NCAA Division III
Championships versus Rowan

Before the season even began, 20 girls dared to
dream the impossible. Early morning runs, teamed with
intense strength training and a crazy amount of sprint
work, drove the team to their physical peak. Summer
training was hard, but the dream was even greater. Coach
Sumoski warned his two seniors, Jennifer Compton and
Tara Friedman that this season would fly by and fly it
certainly did. Our 2005 season started a little earlier
than all of the rest. Many of the girls from the team took
a trip to Europe to compete in International competition
and do some serious sightseeing. After this vacation,
the real season began. A strict no-alcohol policy was
put into effect the first day of preseason and after that
was established, Wilkes Women's Soccer didn't look
back. Winning eleven straight games against fierce
competition in and out of the MAC conference, one of
the most notable ones to the University of Scranton,
our streak ended with a paralyzing loss to College
Misercordia. As if the loss weren't hard enough to
handle, our beloved goalkeeper, Liz Pauly (a.k.a. pirate),
was taken out early in the game and had to remain on the
sidelines for the rest of the season as she recovered from
her numerous injuries. Freshman keeper Jess Berkey
walked on the field with everyone's eyes upon her. The
pressure for most would have been too much to bear,
but Jess took it all in stride.

Wilkes Women's Soccer would finish the rest of the
regular season 13-3-1. As postseason began, the girls could
sense the pressure and excitement that surrounded the playoffs.
After a 2-1 win over FDU in the semifinal game, Wilkes was on
its way to the MAC Championship Game against first-seated
Drew University. Having played Drew just the week before,
the team was ready. Wilkes scored what would be the winning
goal with 14: 4 7 left in the second half. The team held off Drew
for the remainder of the game, making this Wilkes Women's
Soccer team the first team to ever win the MAC conference.
With this win, the team was placed into the NCAA pool and
traveled to Steven's Institute of Technology. After a loss that
would be their last, the team walked off the field completely
exhausted and spent. Wilkes Women's Soccer 2005, although
coming up short in the NCAA playoffs, would be remembered
as the team that realized a dream and succeeded in obtaining
it. A special congratulation goes out to Dana Lehman and
Jennifer Compton, each receiving Mid-Atlantic All Region
awards for their efforts this season! Also, the team achieved
success off the field. The team GPA was a 3.45 with many
of our athletes making the MAC Academic All-Star roster
including: Jen Compton, Tara Friedman, Christina Waldele,
Kristi Barsby, Dana Lehman, Suzie Zavistoski, Cassandra
Hare, Gina Robinson, Liz Pauly, Bri Bertoni, Bethany Head,
and Becca Duttry! What a memorable season it was!

�Victory against King's!
Lauren Risser scored the only goal of the match with 3 :20
remaining in the second half to lead Wilkes University to a 1-0 Freedom Conference field hockey win over 18th-ranked King's College
on Wednesday afternoon at Artillery Park.
The win improves the Lady Colonels to 6-6 overall and 1-2 in
the conference. King's dropped its second consecutive contest to fall
to 9-2. The Lady Monarchs are 2-1 in conference play.
Wilkes had a golden opportunity to score early in the contest
when Devon McKay picked up a loose ball and fired a shot that
hit the right post. The Lady Monarchs would counter by out-shooting Wilkes 6-4 in the opening stanza. However, thanks to the play
of Lady Colonels goalkeeper Hilary Weber and King's goalie Kari
Leach, neither team was able to convert and the two teams went into
half time tied at 0-0.
Wilkes would hold an 8-3 shots advantage in the second half,
but it wasn't until late that the Lady Colonels were able to take the
lead. Lindsay Thomas beat a King's defender and ripped a pass
across to Risser. Risser, who also scored the game-winning goal in
Saturday's 1-0 win over William Paterson University, pushed a shot
into the lower-left comer to provide Wilkes with a 1-0 advantage.
King 's would counter with an attack in the closing minutes.
The Lady Monarchs were able to secure a penalty corner as time
expired. However, A shot by Christina Glenn off of the corner went
wide and the game ended.

�Wilkes University senior Arvin Narula (Blue Mountain/Orwigsburg,
PA) capped his collegiate tennis career by winning the number-three single
title at the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships being hosted by
Lehigh University on Sunday.
Narula, who was the number-three seed entering the event, knocked
off second-seeded Matt Bucher from Messiah College, 6-4, 6-1 in the
semi-final round. In the championship match he posted a 6-3, 6-1 victory
over Lebanon Valley College's Zach Kaufman. Narula ended his senior

�Allison Grohol blasted a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie
the game and fellow freshman Samantha Evanich drilled a solo homerun to lead off the
bottom of the eighth inning and lift second-seeded Wilkes University to a 4-3 win over
top-seed King's College in the Freedom Conference championship game on Saturday
afternoon at the Ralston Complex.
With the victory the Lady Colonels improved to 26-13 overall and earned
the conference's automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Championship which is
slated to begin on Thursday. King's, which saw its string of six consecutive conference
titles come to an end, saw their record fall to 36-7. The Lady Monarchs will await word
on a possible at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament when the field is announced on
Monday morning.
King's held a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. However, Wilkes would rally when Erin Plank reached on an error and Shelley
Pheiff drew a one-out walk. Grohol then stepped to the plate and hit
her three-run homer over the center field fence to knot the game
at 3-3 and force extra innings.
Evanich, who pitched the final three innings
in relief, struck out Cassy Shiffer, Annie Drimones and
Abbey Knoblauch in the top half of the eighth inning to
keep the momentum with Wilkes. She then opened the
bottom of the eighth with her school-record 12th homer
of the campaign to provide the Lady Colonels with the
victory.
King's took a 2-0 lead in the first against Wilkes
starter Laurie Agresti. Justine Maggio singled and advanced to third on a double by Nikki Kotula. After Agresti
fanned Mari Valonis for the second out, Kate Shiffer singled
Calgary 84' Rockto score both Maggio and Kotula and put the Lady Monarchs
1es
on top. King's would tack on an additional run in the fifth to
extend their lead to 3-0. Kotula cracked a one-out double and proceeded
to steal third base. She would score on another single by Kate Shiffer to account for

The History
of Wilkes University

The institution we know today as Wilkes University began in
1933...
when Bucknell University established its Junior College in WilkesBarre, Pennsylvania. Bucknell University Junior College (BUJC) attracted eager, highly motivated, and able young persons, virtually all of
whom were the first members of their families to benefit from higher
education.
The Junior College also received support and encouragement from
leading members of the Wilkes-Barre community. The stately mansions
that are now used as residence halls and offices are a testament to the
tradition of community service and generosity characteristic of the Wilkes-Barre area's leadership.

In 1947, Wilkes College was instituted as an independent, nondenominational...
four-year college, with programs in the arts, sciences, and a number
of professional fields as well as a full program of extra-curricular activities. Designation as Wilkes University in 1990 capped an eventful
and productive half-century of development and signaled the beginning
of a new era of progress as an increasingly distinguished and prominent
academic institution.

Wilkes University further distinguished itself in 1996 when ...
the eagerly anticipated School of Pharmacy opened. Three years later, through a generous gift from Mrs. Geraldine Nesbitt Orr, the Nesbitt
School of Pharmacy at Wilkes University was established.

In 2004, the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business &amp; Leadership...
opened its doors with a unique program that emphasizes not only
business skills, but also the value of cognitive and emotional intelligence.

In 2005, the "new" Henry Student Center was expanded and...
the University purchased an 80,000 square foot building in downtown Wilkes-Barre.

�President's
Message
To the Class of 2005-As you read this AMNICOLA for 2005, I hope it provides many
fond memories of your senior year at Wilkes. If your senior
year was anything like mine, it passed all too quickly and was
filled with a host of emotions.
This yearbook collects for you in pictures and words the
places, events and people that made up your life on campus.
As you reflect on all that has happened during your time at
Wilkes, I hope you come away with a sense that the University
has had a major influence on your ideas, directions, and
values.

~s.

I urge you to keep in touch with Wilkes. Whether it's returning
in-person, reading our alumni magazine -- The Wilkes Universe,
attending an alumni reception, checking out the University's
web site, or, best of all, taking a Wilkes course or graduate
program, know that you will always be welcome.

,.

Patty and I send you our very best wishes for a prosperous and
happy future.

�In Memory

of
Lauren Theresa Martin
January 11, 1980 - March 27, 2004
Lauren was truly a kind, gentle, caring person. She was majoring in psychology and her
hope was to help others, especially those suffering with eating disorders. Lauren was
curious, adventurous, inquisitive, and had a great sense of humor. Lauren reached out to
those less fortunate and was always there to help those in need. Our beautiful daughter
loved mountain biking, rollerblading and especially skiing. Lauren showed her strength in
many ways, but especially after suffering with an eating disorder for 5 and 1/2 years, was
truly recovering. Lauren inspired so many with her courage and determination to beat this
horrific i11ness and unfortunately did not get her chance to enjoy her once happy life, as she
so deserved.
Lauren truly appreciated the caring, kind ways of her advisors, Dr. Deborah Tindell and Dr.
Diane Polachek as we did, her parents.
Lauren's best friend was her sister, Robyn.
To the Wilkes Family, we want to thank you for being there for our beautiful daughter who
will be forever missed and forever loved.
A special thanks to Lenny, Terry, and Robyn Martin for their help with this page .

1is page.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we tum 25
J keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be corning back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
(1) - As we go on
We remember; An the times we
Had together; And as our lives change
Come Whatever; We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the bigjobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now; Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find ajob that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
[Repeat l)
La, la, la, la: Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, Ia: We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that wi11 fol1ow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

women 's volleyball. If parents did
not wish to view these activities,
some faculty members offered them
an exhibition of students' work
featuring different types of media
from art work to design projects.
After all of these events, families
were invited to a celebration at the
Riverstreet Jazz Cafe to enjoy
fantastic food and drinks. This
gave parents a chance to meet their
child's friends and their parents.
The final event of the day brought
everyone back to the Student Union
Ballroom to be hypnotized by "The
Evasons." This couple put on a
spectacular magic show to end this
perfect day.

Directed by Adam Hill, with set design by Teresa fall on, ffotel
Universe promises an intellectual night of theatre to be loved by all.
The production is set in the French Rivera, where a group of
timeless characters are inspired to cast off the chains of the past
and pursue a host of hopes and dreams. All are American
expatriates, including hostess Ann field (played by Lauren N.
Trovillion), who has put her own life on hold for three years to care
for her ailing father, Stephen (played by Carlos Candelario). Her
memories are prompted by the suicide of a young boy (played by
Robert Shreiber) and the climax brings the inevitable "redemption"
of one of the suicidal members of the house party.

Wilkes University's Department of
Visual and Performing Arts is proud to
bring Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night
Music to the stage with direction by
Joseph C. Dawson and set design by
Teresa Fallon.
One of Broadway's most neglected
but beautiful masterpieces, A Little
Night Music portrays the timeless
subject of love and all of its wondrous,
humorous and ironic pursuits. The plot
revolves around a weekend in the
country with Fredrik (played by senior
Benjamin S. Ptashinsky), his teenage
bride, Anne (played by senior Meghann
Babo), his son, Henrik (played by
junior Dan Van Why), his former lover,
Desiree (played by junior Rachel Dyer);
Desiree's lover, Carl Magnus (played
by junior Kevin Holbert), and Carl
Magnus' wife, Charlotte (played by
sophomore Taylor Whidden).

The 2004 football team rode a roHer
coaster of emotion throughout the
fall campaign. Following a slow start
to the season, the Colonels rallied
themselves back into position
to be playing for the MAC
Championship in a week

Although the quest

leaving behind a legacy
of success, teamwork, and

dwindled down to the last few days of bliss for many students, the

The season started out in fine form with a record of 5-0. The
team was even ranked 20th in the nation. However, some fierce
competition and mishaps along the way posted the team at a
finishing record of 9-10. Despite what the record suggests, the
Lady Colonels dramatically stepped up the level of play from last
year. The games were close, and sometimes luck simply did not
fall to Wilkes. Despite the set-backs, the field hockey team
continued to persevere and succeeded in claiming a berth in the
MAC Championship they so desired, the journey through the
season established character in all the girls, friendships, and
many memories that will never be forgotten.

Wilkes Women's Soccer ended a momentous season having tied the school record with 12 wins in
a season and a record of 12-6-1, which is only the second time since the programs 1987
insemination. With a motto started from the very beginning, the team followed it by living it. "Live
Strong - Be Strong" formulated all of what Wilkes stood for in the 2004 season. Getting off to a
somewhat rocky game of ping-pong, Wilkes went into a win-loss battle in non-conference play. Falling
short 2-0 to Lebanon Valley and 2-0 to Elmira College, two respected teams in their conferences,
would have put many teams in a slump.
Wilkes Women's Soccer defied everyone's expectations following such losses with two tremendous
wins: one over regionally ranked Susquehanna University by a score of 3-1, the other, conference rival
Drew University by a score of 1-0. After narrowly escaping Juniata's wrath and coming out on top with
a 4-3 win, Wilkes peaked into an astonishing 6 game winning streak. Coach Sumoski stated, "As a
team, we are playing very good soccer right now and have had great performances from a multitude
of players." Team members Kristi Barsby and Kami Roth added great momentum to the team this
year. Roth, a freshman, led the Colonels in goals with 12 this season. Barsby tied the assist record
of 12 in one season. Five colonels were named to the AH-conference list at the end of the season for
their performances. The list includes: Freshman Dana Lehman, Kami Roth, and Bethany Head, as
well as sophomore Kristi Barsby and Christina Waldele. Wilkes said goodbye to three outstanding
players and teammates this year: Sarah Polacheck, Jill Chiucchi (Qkey) and Katie Green. They
brought tremendous energy to the field and will be greatly missed.
As with many teams, this one had a dream at the beginning of the season. Many were
disappointed at the end, with a 4-0 loss to Scranton; tears were shed, hugs given out, a dream
seemingly ended. The thing that separates this team from other teams though, is their intestinal
fortitude, or guts, that hold it together, even through the toughest of losses and the greatest of
victories.

February 3 &amp;5, 2005

"Lifetime,

A man whose impressions are so believable, it's
hard to imagine it's someone else doing them.
Steve does the seemingly impossible and receives
requests from the audience Coquette which
impressions to perform. Impressions that bring to
life some of his favorite performers, from Arnold
Schwarzenegger to Robert Stack of "Unsolved
Mysteries." The sounds that come out of this man's
mouth are, actual1y quite natural. Steve can whisk

Men's Basketball ~ 7' }

�November l9, 2004

Women's
Basketball

The Wilkes University women's basketball team
showed a marked competitive improvement over last
year's team, although not indicated in the overall record
of the team. Several injuries to key players slowed the
team's progress, including a season ending knee irtjury in
the second game of the season to leading returning
scorer, senior forward , Andrea DeMaranville, and ankle
injuries to junior point guard , Rena Bolin, and freshman
shooting guard, Randi Corbo , causing each of them to
sit out a couple of weeks worth of games. Despite the
injury setbacl(s, the Lady Colonels were competitive
throughout the season with the highlight coming in a
thrilling home overtime victory over a FDU team that
qualified for the Freedom Conference playoffs. A last
second jump shot by Rena Bolin at the end of the
overtime period sealed the win for the Colonels.
Inexperience at the center and power forward
positions showed throughout the season, but the future
looks very bright as starting freshman center, Karyn
Peres tam , set the school record for blocks in a season
and finished 2nd in th e Freedom Conference in blocks
and 5th in rebounding. Freshman forwards , Lacey
Andresen and Katie Cappelloni, showed a lot of potential
in the key contributions that each made to the team ,
after the injury to DeMaranville. Andresen finished 10th
in the Freedom Conference in rebounding.
Junior shooting guard , Andrea Kacprowicz, was a
consistent shooter, scorer, and a team leader
throughout the season, finishing 2nd in the Freedom
Conference in 3-point field goals made per game, 3rd in 3 point field goal percentage, 3rd in free throw percentage,
and 12th in scoring. Backcourt teammate and team
captain, junior point guard , Rena Bolin, was voted
Second Team All-Conference by the Freedom Conference
coaches. Bolin was 10th in the Freedom Conference in
scoring, 19th in rebounding, 6th in assists , and 9th in
steals. The Lady Colonels lone senior, starting forward
and team captain, Lyndsay Bey, will be missed for her
many contributions to the team over her four years and
we all wish her the best in her future endeavors.

�restling
Wrestling can be categorized not only as a sport, but as a way of life.
During the 2004-2005 season, the wrestling team experienced many
November 6 , 2004 hardships over the course of the year. Experiencing setbacks only seemed
to make the team stronger and more durable. Each teammate has picked
up for those who were weak both mentally and physically, which made us a stronger team.
Never give up, never quit and put all your heart into every thing that you do, whether it's in
wrestling or life.
This motto has led the Wilkes wrestling team to many great accomplishments, including
5th place in the Mid-Atlantic Conference Championships, ranking 16th in the country as a
scholar team with a GPA of 3.177 and one All-American scholar, Kyle Lenio. These
accomplishments are not accidental. They have been paid for with the blood, sweat and tears
of many dedicated and determined individuals. One may ask what causes a person to put
their body and mind through such rigors and abuse. These things are not done because we
want to prove ourselves as the toughest or the best, but simply to gain the respect of people
we respect most such as our coaches and family. The fear of letting them down drives all of
us to succeed in wanting to make them proud.

��Alternative Spring Break to Germany/Poland

Break

This year Wilkes University students spent their Spring Break in Germany
and Poland to work on the grounds of the concentration camp Auschwitz.
First they spent some time in the city of Berlin, Germany where they
received the history of the city, of the Berlin Wall and of World War II. Then
they visited Poland and had the opportunity to walk and see first-hand the
actuaJ grounds of Auschwitz, the concentration camp and Birkenau, the
death camp. They visited a variety of museums and learned of Germany's
role in the war, as well other countries involved. They were also able to
experience two different cultures. It was definitely an eye-opening
experience that they will never forgetr

TUNE IN is a high-energy, fast-paced,
totally interactive Comedy Game Show
played in three rounds with more than
100 exciting questions in twenty
categories. TUNE IN is like having a
stand-up comic, a game show, and a DJ
at the same event. The audience plays
along as contestants answering audio
questions from radio, television, movies
and comedy categories. Everyone has a
chance to win until the last five minutes
of the show.
-http://www.wilkes.edu

Tune In is like the old television show
"Name That Tune," plus a great deal
more! If you can hear it...it could be a
question. The audience plays along as
contestants try to remember names of
Popular songs, Commercial jingles, TV
theme songs, and Movie sound clips to
win cash and prizes. We guarantee a
minimum of$250-$500 of cash and
prizes every time!

What do you get when
you mix comedy, music,
movies, a game show,
and college students?
You get Wilkes
University's very own
"Tune-In Game Show."
Th is event took place
on March 16 from 8-10
p .m. in the Henry
Student Center
Ballroom. Jason
Narcoonis, freshman
business major and
Diversity Chair of
Programming Board
booked the game show
after seeing it at the
National Association
for Campus Activities conference last semester. He said it seemed like a fun event that he thought students would enjoy.
The game show is entirely interactive. The questions are similar to those of "Name That Tune. "
"Various sound clips from TV, movies, music, comedy, or jingles are played and the contestants , along with the audience, which interacts
throughout the game, identify them, " Narcoonis said.
According to Stephanie Dickert, senior sociology and criminology major, winners receive cash prizes as well as CDs and DVDs . Programming
Board guarantees $250-$500 worth of prizes .
"There are twenty categories with five questions in each. Cash prizes are hidden behind categories on the board .
Players win cash and points throughout the game and can't lose them once they win them ," explained Narcoonis .
The game lasts about an hour and names of audience members who signed up previously are called out

Whatever it takes.
-Angela Wood

The improvement that the Wilkes Lady Colonels have made since they
began playing at the Varsity level in 2003 has been remarkable. Personal
victories were made by each individual player. A few of these victories
stand out such as goals made by Stacey Fimmano, Megan Duke, Bethany
Moskevitz, and Kayte Hall. These are only naming a few. Over the course
of the 2005 season the Lady Colonels had numerous goals and assists
which helped the team build a respectable reputation to be proud of.

Our season so far has been
very successful, both from a team
standpoint and individually, as well.
We currently have won 26 games,
with two games remaining against
King's and the playoffs next week.
We have a chance to break the all
time Wilkes softball record for
wins. The current record is 29 .
One good thing is that we have
been getting contributions from
everyone on the roster. From
seniors down to the freshmen,
everyone has helped.
Individually, we have several
people having outstanding
seasons. Andi Dominick is having
a great year at shortstop improving
on all of her numbers from last
year, both offensively and
defensively. Jan Nunemacher has
done a superb job catching the
pitchers, calling the defenses , and
batting clean-up. This is especially
noteworthy as she is coming off a
serious irtjury over the winter.
Alexis Petite has greatly improved
all of her numbers from previous
years. She is currently hitting

Nadine Taylor also is

points higher than last
year, while
improving all of her
power stats. Her
defense in centerfield
has been exceptional
and she is also a
strong candidate for
the conference player
of the year. Laurie
Agresti is having
another great year. By
the time this is printed
she will have gotten
her 300th strikeout
this season and her
500th for her two year
career. She is once
again leading the

and is among the

candidate for

My heartiest congratulations! Graduation is a significant achievement and I hope
you take time during the graduation festivities to reflect on how much you have
accomplished. Celebrate and feel great about it!
I ask you to take time to thank those who helped you during your years here at
Wilkes. Like any major achievement, a college education cannot be attained
without help. Your parents, siblings, extended family, friends and the faculty and
staff here at Wilkes all helped in some way. Thank them and, as you move through
life, seek to give them something in return.
I also hope you know how much we appreciate what you have given to Wilkes
University. As an institution, our mission is to create exceptional communities of
students who learn together with their faculty. Without you, we could not have
achieved this core purpose. You added so much to the Wilkes learning experience
that was important and worthy of our thanks.
You now leave Wilkes to go on to new and exciting endeavors. We wish you all
the best. I truly believe we have equipped you well for this next step in your life.
Work hard, work smart and care about those around you. Take a chance, make a
difference, do the right thing and laugh a lot.
And don't forget that Wilkes cares about you and what lies ahead for you. Keep in
close touch through the alumni association. Come back from time to time to add
knowledge on to the foundation of knowledge and skills you built in your
undergraduate career. And give back to the University your time, talent and
treasure so that future students can have the same opportunities at Wilkes you
had.
Let Patty and me add our personal congratulations and best wishes to you. We
know you will make Wilkes proud!
Sincerely,
Tim Gilmour
President

�In Memory

of
Sean Cahill
May 26, 1978 - January 1, 2002
When someone comes into your life so unexpectedly, yet so
appropriately, it has the possibility of changing your life
forever. They can impact you and those around you so
greatly that your life can never be the same. However, it is
when that person must leave, that you must be at your
strongest, for it is a great blessing that you had even one day
to be in the presence of an angel.

Herman Horwitz
March 12, 2004
Herman Horwitz was an employee of Sodexho Food
Services and passed away just weeks shy of his 80th
Birthday. Most Wilkes students remember him as the
friendly, elderly man who greeted them with a smile and
would help them with their trays. Faculty, staff, and
students all had the fortune to get to know Horwitz during
his time at Wilkes. He will be sadly missed by the Wilkes
community and will always hold a special place in the hearts
of people he touched.

In Memory

of
Lauren Theresa Martin
January 11, 1980 - March 27, 2004
Lauren was truly a kind, gentle, caring person. She was majoring in psychology and her hope was to
help others, especially those suffering with eating disorders. Lauren was curious, adventurous,
inquisitive, and had a great sense of humor. Lauren reached out to those less fortunate and was
always there to help those in need. Our beautiful daughter loved mountain biking, rollerblading and
especially skiing. Lauren showed her strength in many ways, but especially after suffering with an
eating disorder for 5 and 1/2 years, was truly recovering. Lauren inspired so many with her courage
and determination to beat this horrific illness and unfortunately did not get her chance to enjoy her
once happy life, as she so deserved.
Lauren truly appreciated the caring, kind ways of her advisors, Dr. Deborah Tindell and Dr. Diane
Polachek as we did, her parents.
Lauren's best friend was her sister, Robyn.
To the Wilkes Family, we want to thank you for being there for our beautiful daughter who will be
forever missed and forever loved.
A special thanks to Lenny, Terry, and Robyn Martin for their help with this page.

The Colonels started their season with a BANG. They ended the season with
a record of 8-2 overall and 7-2 in conference, while breaking some records along
the way.
They started by winning their opening Middle Atlantic conference game
against Albright University, 55-28. Brett Trichilo rushed for a total of 31 times
to get a total of 301 yards and four touchdowns. Trichilo beat his previous
record of 254 yards set back in 2001 at the game against Juniata College.
Although they may have lost their second game against Lycoming, it did not
stop the team for long. They came back to win against FDU-Florham and
Widener. The Colonels next game was a close 22-20 game against Moravian,
which Wilkes unfortunately lost. However, the team pulled together and won
59-20 over Susquehanna University the following week.
During the Susquehanna game, Trichilo exceeded the 1,000 yard mark,
reaching 1,131 yards during the season and 3,108 yards for his career. This
moved Trichilo up to second place on the all-time rushing list at Wilkes.
After winning against Juniata the Colonels moved to an overall record of 5-2
and 4-2 in the conference. During the game Trichilo made a new record,
averaging 188 yards per game and moving his 2003 season total to 1,397
yards. Trichilo beat the previous record of 1,390 yards set by Mike Hankins
back in 1997, and tied the record of single-season touchdown mark of 15 set by
Mike Gundersdorf in 1996.
Duran Parrino, a sophomore quarterback has also put out an outstanding
effort. During the Juniata game he completed 16-of-25 pass attempts for 213
yards. The Colonels reached a season-high of 585 yards in total offense.
Wilkes ended their season with a win over King's College, 37 -0. Running
back Brett Trichilo rushed 261 yards and made four touchdowns. This made
Trichilo the sixth player in the NCAA Division III history to surpass the 2,000
yard mark in a season.

�The Wilkes University Men's Soccer team entered the season with hopes of
qualifying for Freedom Conference playoffs for the fifth time in the last six years.
However with two heartbreaking losses to King's College and Delaware Valley
College to close out the season, their postseason hopes were dashed. The
Colonels, who played a competitive schedule throughout the season, ended with
an overall record of 6-12-1 and 2-4-1 in the conference. The highlights of the
year came when the team posted a 0-0 tie to nationally ranked and conference
power Drew University and head coach Phil Wingert registering his 200th career
win with a 1-0 victory over Gwynedd Mercy College.
The Colonels lineup saw a lot of new faces in 2003, starting as many as seven
freshmen in some games. Thanks to the help of the six seniors, these
underclassmen became accustomed with the system and helped the team
become competitive by the season's end. Senior captions Mike Faneck and Ken
Huelbig showed leadership on and off the field, setting the tone for each game.
Fellow classmates Scott Carr, Jon Ritter, Matt Kulp, and Will Roy played key
roles throughout the season also providing leadership to a young team with
promise. The team was led offensively by Will Roy who scored five goals on the
year. Mike Faneck ended his career by providing three goals and three assists
from his midfield position. Freshman Steve Uhas finished his rookie campaign
scoring two goals and dishing out three assists.
Faneck was selected 1st Team Freedom Conference All-Star while Mike Bridy
and Uhas garnered 2nd Team honors. Uhas was also the first Wilkes men's
player to be selected Rookie of the Year in the Freedom Conference. The Colonels
were led defensively by freshman goalkeeper Dominic Proctor. Proctor finished
the year with three shutouts and a 1.98 goals against average. With the
returning core of underclassmen and the experience they gained from this
season, the men's soccer team will look to grow on the 2003 season and continue
to build on the success and hard work of this year's seniors.

Head Coach John Sumoski, along with first year Assistant Coach Kim
Fair, had a lot on their hands at the beginning of the season. The
Colonel Coaches had only 8 veterans returning to the field. With a young
squad, Coach Sumoski gave his 14 freshman the necessary support,
confidence, and skills needed to play at the college level.
The team was led by its three captains senior Lyndsey McWilliams,
senior Katie Green, and junior Jillian Chiucchi. The Lady Colonels
soccer team continued a winning tradition by gathering 9 wins, 8 losses,
and 2 ties in the regular season. The Lady Colonels also advanced to the
Freedom Conference playoffs for the fourth straight year.
The season had a shaky start with 7 losses within the first eleven
games, including 3 conference defeats. But the squad's perseverance,
determination, and heart rose above when it really mattered. In their
twelfth game of the season Wilkes began their winning streak, and a
chain of 474 scoreless minutes, including an upset of 4-0 to Lycoming
College. The success continued through four conference wins, including
cross town rival Kings College.
The Colonels achieved a momentous win over College Misericordia,
winning 1-0. The enthusiasm from this game lifted the spirits of the
Lady Colonels and drove them onto the Freedom Conference semi-final
match. Wilkes finished their season with a 2-0 loss to nationally ranked
University of Scranton.
Post season honors went to senior Lyndsey McWilliams, sophomore
Rena Bolin, and freshman Christina Waldele. Waldele was named
Freedom Conference Rookie of the Year and she also acquired a seat on
the All-Conference first team. McWilliams and Bolin were both selected
to the All-Conference second team.

The Wilkes University Tennis Team, under the direction of first year Head Coach
Chris Leicht, had a very successful season in 2003. The team finished the season
with a record of 5-6, which was their best season in recent memory. The biggest win
of the season was against King's College, when the team won a very close match 5-4.
This was the first time in the last 11 years in which Wilkes defeated King's. Wilkes
also had wins over DeSales University, Keystone College, Gwynedd Mercy College,
and Widener University. The season ended with an appearance at the MAC singles
and doubles tournament at Drew University. Both of the doubles teams advanced to
the second round in this very competitive tournament.
The team was led by senior co-captain Selena Bednarz, and junior co-captain
Rajitha Devadoss. Bednarz played #2 singles, and also was a member of the # 1
doubles team. Devadoss was a doubles specialist, playing in the #3 doubles position.
Sophomore Kelly Leach played # 1 singles and doubles, and was a Freedom
Conference Second Team All-Star. The two freshmen varsity starters, Sara Ryder
and Jill Zapotoski, had a very successful first year. These two led the team in singles
victories, both posting an impressive 7-3 mark. Also contributing to the varsity team
were Kristin Kile and Liz Roveda. Kile played a pivotal role on the team, competing
at the #4 singles and #2 doubles spot. Roveda had the best winning percentage on
the team, playing at the #6 spot.
This Wilkes tennis team has a very bright future, with the majority of the team
returning next year. The team will miss the leadership of Bednarz and Devadoss,
who helped lead the team this year. The team hopes to keep improving, and to
challenge for the conference title in the near future.

The Wilkes University Lady Colonels Volleyball team started off their season with
two back-to-back tournaments. Their first tournament was against King's College and
Keystone College. The Lady Colonels struggled through the game against King's
College, which ended in a loss for the Colonels. However, they successfully defeated
Keystone College, with a score of 3 to 0. Kristin Pisani led the attack with five kills and
five service aces. Megan Riley and Amanda Millheim each had four kills, while Jillian
Focht had six service aces, and Nicole Hahn handed out six attacks.
The next day, the Lady Colonels managed to overcome College Misericordia, but
were defeated by Marywood University. Jeanine Barber, Riley, and Focht managed to
achieve nine kills apiece for the Colonels. Barber and Amber Brennan had fourteen
digs apiece, and Hahn had thirty-four assists and four service aces. Alicia Vieselmeyer
was named to the all-tournament team lead the colonels in the game against Marywood
with 16 kills and 18 digs.
The season continued rather successfully for a while for the Lady Colonels, with
three consecutive wins. With the Lady Colonels win against Kean University, senior
Amber Brennan broke the school record in digs. She came into the game with 681 digs
and scored 16 more to overcome the school record of 684 digs. Throughout the entire
season, the Lady Colonels volleyball team had ten wins. The Lady Colonels went into
the season strongly, and as the season progressed, continued to fight for victories.
Unfortunately, they ended their season with three consecutive losses to DeSales
University, Elizabethtown College, and FDU-Florham. In the end, the Lady Colonels
volleyball team finished their season with a record of 10-16.

The Wilkes University Women 's Basketball team had some tough
competition for the 2003-2004 season , but this never stopped the team from
giving it their all. There were great contributions from many of the team
members that helped the girls stay strong. Some key highlights include
Andrea Demaranville's game high score of 27 points verse Delaware Valley.
Although Wilkes fell short by the end of the 60 minutes , with the help of
DeMaranville and Lurena Gimbles's 10 rebounds , it portrayed some of the
fire the team had waiting to reveal. One of the key games revealing the Lady
Colonels desire was verse the Lady Monarchs at King's College. The Lady
Colonels held the Monarchs to 32 points while tallying 26 of their own by
the end of the first half. Although still falling short at the end of the game,
DeMaranville led Wilkes with 16 points and a game-high 9 rebounds.
Corinne Stewart also contributed 13 points and 7 boards, while Rena Bolin
had 11 points, five assists and three steals.
The Women's Basketball program ended their season on a great note
defeating Drew University 62-60 to carry some momentum into next year.
A game high of 18 points with 3 of them being 3 pointers from Danielle
Kresock, helped this game be one of the most outstanding.
With a very young, enthusiastic group of student-athletes the program
will continue to grow and develop into one of the top teams in the MAC. We
must say goodbye to two tremendous seniors, Corinne Stewart and Janna
Ward. Both have been an integral part of the success over the past three
seasons. The returning Lady Colonels are looking forward to getting started
next season and making a run at a playoff opportunity.

The Wilkes University Colonels Wrestling Team had a solid season. They were

The 2004 baseball season turned out to be one for the record books. Not only did
the Colonels make the Freedom Conference playoffs for the third straight year but
they also established a new record for wins in a season. The Colonels' baseball team
finished the regular season with an overall record of 26-12-1, one win better then the
previous record of 25 wins.
The most impressive stat of the season came not from one person but from the
team as a whole. Senior Matt Midkiff and junior Tyler Trutt, both returning
Conference All-Stars continued their success on the diamond. They led an offensive
attack that finished 18th in the country in batting average. Both Trutt and Midkiff
finished the regular season hitting well above .400 and were the one-two punch at
the top of the Colonels' batting order. Also having successful seasons were senior
Mike Spotts and juniors Dave Evans, Steve Imdorf and Josh Turel. These four
provided the offensive power at the middle of the line up and played tremendous
defense keeping Wilkes in many games.
Pitching was led by a group of underclassmen, sophomores Mike Quinn and Mike
Toomey, as well as freshmen Jeff Ridge. They saw many innings this season for
Wilkes and got the experience that will help make the Colonel Baseball team
competitive again next spring. With only three seniors, Spotts, Midkiff, and Dave
Morgan gone from this year's team, the 2005 baseball team looks more talented then
ever for head coach Joe Folek and should make for another historic season for the
Colonels.

The 2003-2004 cheerleading season has been an exceptional and memorable one as the
girls cheered for football and basketball. The squad has exhibited outstanding talent and has
reached a high difficulty level in stunting and tumbling. This was possible due to the
dedication of the team and a wonderful coach. The coach, Laura Macaravage, has been with
Wilkes for the last eight years and with her guidance has enabled the cheerleading program to
grow and continue to develop.

Team Members Include: Popa Bryant, Lyndsay Asinelli , Jeanine Barber , Maria Currier ,
Amanda Templeton, Jennifer Compton, Janna Ward, Erica Buchholz, Danielle McDonald, Kathryn
Currier, Jenny Keating, Rachel Avery, Catherine Dzubaty, Pam Carey and Cassie Malone

The Wilkes University Lacrosse team began their second season of varsity
play this year. They got off to a rocky start by losing their first game to
Widener University, 18-0. During this game Cassie Malone, the goalkeeper, had
25 registered saves. The Lady Colonels lost a Middle Atlantic Conference game
against Moravian, 13-12, in overtime. Moravian scored the winning goal with
just 38 seconds left in the overtime play. The Lady Colonels had their only win
of the season, 11-5, over College Misercordia at Ralston Field. Danielle
McDonald lead the team with four goals and one assist. Maria Currier had two
goals and two helpers while Lyndsay Asinelli and Jennifer Compton both
contributed two goals and one assist each. Goalkeeper Cassie Malone had
seven saves during this game. The Lady Colonels ended their season with a
loss to Lycoming College, 15-10. This left the team with an overall record of 112 and a conference record of 0-10.
The team was coached by Nancy Billger, who had her first season as head
coach at Wilkes University this year. The assistant coaches included Todd
Broxmeyer, Matt McCaffrey and Lorey Mo lick. The Lady Colonels put a lot of
hard work into this season and look forward to their third season of varsity
play next year.

�Softball

The Wilkes University Lady Colonels' Softball team started the season with little respect
from the conference coaches. Many picked us as low as seventh in Freedom conference.
This was not unusual as we finished 6th last year and lost seven starters or part time
starters from that team. As a result we had to have several players really step up this year,
including 6 freshman. We finished the season in second place overall, surprising many
around the conference, with a chance of finishing first going into the last games of the year
against rival King's College. Several moments from this season stand out. This year we
had great team leadership and a close team. We got the performances we needed from our
very young team (no seniors).
We played an extremely tough schedule, one I feel may rank among the toughest five in
the country in Division 3 softball. We had games scheduled with teams who rose to # 1st in
the country, the #4th team, #7th team, #14th team, #15th team and the #18th team. In
addition, we played eight teams who were ranked in the region. To play this tough a
schedule with a team as young as ours was a real challenge. Of the four eastern regions in
Division 3, we played all four regional champs.
Some individual performances stand out from this challenging season. Jan
Nunemacher and Nadine Taylor were both named to the Freedom Conference First Team.
Julie Henry was named to the Freedom Conference Second Team. Laurie Agresti was
named Rookie of the Year and Pitcher of the Year. Alexis Petite hit very well in the clutch
including two walk off home runs including one against King's College. We also received
very solid performances from several other players. Virtually every player had a positive
impact on one game or another.
Needless to say we are looking forward to next year, with everyone returning and several
promising freshman coming in to challenge for starting positions. It will be a challenge
since we certainly will not be picked as low as seventh next year in the pre-season and will
not have the opportunity to "sneak up" on anyone.

hen you decided in high school that college was the right choice, did you ever imagine it
would be like it is today? We see in movies the sororities, the constant frat parties, the
completely disorganized and chaotic life of a college student. If this was really true,
colleges would have died out a long time ago.
By no means is college life a walk in the park. Attendance, quizzes, tests, final exams,

labs, papers, etc. are iust for the fifteen credits you take on each semester.
Add on the extracurricular activities you get yourself into:

club, or any club related or unrelated to your major.
Then there are sports. Football, field hockey, soccer, and
women's volleyball in the fall, basketball and wrestling in the
winter and baseball, softball and lacrosse in the spring.
Training year round, making it to practices plus getting good
grades keeps Wilkes athletes moving.
And if that was not enough, then we have to worry about
paying for this whole experience. Some of us are lucky to get a
scholarship or a grant to make up some of the difference, but
even so, that only provides for room, board and class. So we go
out and find a part-time job, either to help pay for our
education, or just so we have some extra cash for other
activities.
Class, work, activities, and our personal life all get crammed
into a few years where you are studying to become whatever
you wish to accomplish. Sometimes your work load seems like
an endless pile and other times there is very little to do leaving
time for a night of fun. College is a fun and rewarding

development of an urban university, located only two blocks from the center of a medium-size city, presents unique problems not experienced by more traditional schools evolving
on empty land in suburban or rural America. The key word in urban development is displacement. Acenter-city university must adapt its city environment to its own uses. lntitially, this
usually means converting existing buildings for educational purposes. Eventually, it means replacement of former residential or commercial structures by newer buildings specifically designed
for educational use. These next few pages are designed to show how this process has influenced the development of Wilkes University from its opening i11 1933 as Bucknell University
Junior College over the intervening sixty years to the present.
The area chosen for Wilkes was an accident of history. The university has established itself primarily along South River and South Franklin streets, the two major thoroughfares in
the southwest quadrant of downtown Wilkes-Barre. The streets lie adjacent to the Susquehanna River, a location which normally would have developed as an industrial district. However,
the evolution of Wilkes-Barre's waterfront followed a different pattern. Normally canals and railroads in interior towns followed the river as the path of least resistance and industrial
growth followed the transport corridor. However, the North Branch Canal, which orginally provided access from Wilkes-Barre and ran some five blocks inland from the river as it passes
the center city, returning to the river front about one and one-half blocks north of the public square. While the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, the first to enter Wilkes-Barre, built its
terminus on the river froot, the station was soon abandoned and the ctiy's railroad corridor paralleled, then incorporated, the canal bed.
As a result, the southwest quadrant became a region of homes rather than factories. The area along the river bank was occupied by the residences of the rich and powerful,
including coal barons, bankers, and leading lawyers. The homes of lesser lawyers, doctors, prominent businessmen and those in upper managment positions were further inland. There was
also a district occupied by lower economic groups. Below South Street the river turns away from South River Street. The wealthy followed the river, building their homes along a branch
street known as West River. South River below this point had smaller homes occupied by common tradesmen. Wright Street, an alley between River and Franklin, had tiny houses, one
eight-residence row structure, and several tenements, catering to a highly rmbile blue-collar population, few of whom owned the houses in which they lived. Among the most intriguing
households in this district was the M:Cabe household at 11 Wright Street. All of the employed women of the family represented a significant proportion of the entire telephone operator
staff of Wilkes-Barre in 1894.
Similarly, the fate of the Lehigh &amp; Susquehanna Depot shows how the Wilkes-Barre waterfront was diverted from the normal urban fate early in the city's history. Following removal
of the station, William L and Charles M. Conyngham, brothers who made their fortunes in the mining and distribution of coal, built two of the largest mansions along the riverfront on the
site. Today this land holds the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts.
By 1893, the southwest quadrant had developed into a unique urban setting. An area of predominantly large homes in a park setting along the Susquehanna River, the first portions
of the area occupied by Bucknell University Junior College, provided an academic environment far more traditional than was normally true of urban universities. As Wilkes grew, the
redevelopement of a decaying blue-collar area adjacent to the campus provided the opportunity for new construction to meet the college·s needs.

BuifcCing a Junior CoCfege
Bocknell University Junior College, the forerunner of Wilkes, was opened in downtown Wilkes-Barre in September 1933. BWC was inspired by a state-wide study, made two years
earlier, which suggested a need for junior colleges in ten urban centersin the states which lacked such facilities. The report stated that "Wilkes-Barre offered the greatest need and the
best opportunity of all the ten cities." The creation of BWC was largely the work of Frank G. Davis, chair of the Bucknell U~versity Department of Education, who proposed the
institution to Bucknell President Homer Rainey in March, 1933 and pursued the idea until it was implemented during that su111T1er.
There was little prior support in Wilkes-Barre. According to Davis, who had vistited Wilkes-Barre in early March, "The facts of the case are that no interested citizens, no school
superintendents, and no civic clubs presented any needs whatsoever to me prior to my presentation to It Rainey." Rainey was attracted to the idea because Bucknell, in the depths of the
depression and faced with enrollement decline, was able to provide eight surplus faculty to serve in Wilkes-Barre. The early operation was financed by Bucknell, no funds being received
from local citizens. By the time that BWC acquired its own Board of Trustees in January 1938, the school had accumulated a total deficit of nearly $30,000. In 1941, Bucknell would
cancel outstanding indebtedness of $5,500 during a fund raising drive, and an additional $8,352.86 when BWC began raising money in 1945 to establish a four-year school.
Obviously, no funds were available for building construction in 1933, nor were they necessary with the availability of vacant urban office space and the existence of non-academic
facilities which could be utilized for academic purposes. The first space used was the third floor of the Wilkes-Barre Business College, a three-story building located at 29-31 West
Northampton Street, directly across from the V. M. C. A. The following year, the Business College vacated the building and the entire structure was taken over by BWC. Adninistrative
offices and a 500-seat auditorium were located on the first floor, a small library on the second floor, and classrooms and laboratories on the second and third floors.
There was no need for residence halls since the school's purpose was to serve local residents of Luzerne County, all of whom lived off-campus. However, there was a need for space
and facilities for non-instructional activities. Some could be provided in the college building, such as a room set aside as a social center for female students. Adramatic society was
organized in 1934 and rehearsed in the college basement, which was entered by a ramp. The facility was nothing if not cramped. When a full set was on the stage, it was necessary to
go up three flights on the fire escape, through the biology laboratory and down to the basement again in order to make an entrance from the opposite side of the stage. The V. M. C. A.
was used by the basketball team, which provided other athletic facilities for the College. Formal events were held in such locations as the Sterling Hotel and kem Temple, both within
walking distance of the Junior College.
The initial moves towards a more permanent home were made by Eugene Farley, who became BWC director in March 1936. Farley worked with prominent local leaders, including
many who lived within two blocks of BWC in the great homes of the southwest quadrant. He enjoyed quick success and the College was given four of the houses between 1937 and
1941. The first was Conyngham Hall, deeded by Bertha Conyngham on February 1, 1937.

Frederick and Anna Weckesser gave the home at 76 West Northampton on October 4, 1938. The last was donated by IV'ir. and Mrs. Allen Kirby on July 1, 1941.
Conyngham Hall and the former garage and stable building to the rear were converted for classroom purposes. Chase became the administration building and also housed a tiny snack
bir, lounges for both men and women, and a bookstore.The library was moved to Conyngham. then to the second floor of Kirby where it slowly grew until it occupied the entire building.
The Chase garage was taken over by the Thespians for the rehearsal of plays. The garage was a "dreary place" with a large turntable in the center for turning autos. The turntable was
rerooved in 1938 and a stage built, allowing staging as well as rehearsals.
Garages became as important to the college as the houses themselves. Providing larger spaces than rooms in the houses, the garages of the South River St. homes would be
converted over the years into a cafeteria, a theater, and classrooms, providing critical services until Wilkes would begin building new facilities. In later years garages would serve as
maintenance buildings, as some still do. Weckesser Hall was given to BWC as a residence for Or. and Mrs. Farley. It was used by the Farleys and for music classes until April 1943
when an Army Air Force pre-flight training program was established at the college. Then Weckesser became the headquarters and infirmary of the 6th Training Detachment l,4ir Crew),
IBAAF. The recruits were housed at the Sterling ~tel. anticipating the use of external housing for dormitory students in later years, and The Farleys moved to the third floor of Kirby Hall.
kl the fall of 1937, with its own buildings in service, BWC abandoned its rented home on Northampton Street; however, the building's career as an educational institution was not
over. When King's College was established following World War II, it set up housekeeping in the same building until it could establish a campus along North River Street, mirroring the
development of its (slightly) older rival. The Northampton Street building can truly be designated as the birthplace of Luzerne County colleges.
By the end of its first decade, BWC had established itself in houses and garages on or near South River Street between Northampton and South streets. The local community had
accepted the school and had begun to support its growth. Those of college age appreciated the benefits of a local college and, by 1940, students were beginning to agitate for the
expansion of BWC into a full four-year institution.

BUJC Becomes Wilkes
The calls for a baccalaureate institution in Wilkes-Barre were muted by the wartime changes. However, the celebration of the 10th anniversary of BWC in November 1943 was
marked by an announcement that the Board of Trustees would try to raise an endowment of $500,000 in order to establish a four-year college. It was believed that an additional
$250,000 would be needed to purchase equipment and buildings for the expansion.
The ell! of the war brought dramatic changes to BWC. The Board of Trustees formally moved to expand to a four-year program in June 1945 and efforts to raise an endowment
were renewed. The departure of the pre-flight training program in 1944 allowed the conversion in October 1944 of Weckesser Hall into BWC's first dormitory, housing 16 female students.
Because of rapid post-war growth in the student body, there was an immediate need for additional buildings along South River Street. The Long residence was acquired in late 1945
and was used as the Veteran's Guidance Center. This was the first property purchased and cost $15,000. The adjacent Payne home was purchased in the spring of 1946. The second and
third floors became the first male dornitory, housing 20 men. Classrooms and offices were located on the first floor. The next home in the row was given to the College by Marion Ashley
Ahlbocn in June 1946.
l.krtil now, the College's facilities had been located along or adjacent to South River Street. The College now began to plan for the eventual occupation of the entire block and began
expansion onto South Franklin Street. The Stoddart home and the vacant lot at Franklin and South, previously occupied by the First Baptist Church, were purchased in early 1946. The
music oopartment was relocated to the Stoddart home and was named Gies Hall in 1948 after Paul "Pop"Gies, BWC's first music professor. The vacant lot would become the first of
many efforts to provide off-street parking on the campus, always a major problem at urban institutions.
The appearance of resident students and the rapid post-war growth of the student body brought new demands for food service. The first dining hall for dormitory students was set
up in the focmer Veteran's Center in October 1946. The flood of commuter students placed impossible demands on the tiny lunch room in the rear of Chase Hall and the garages in the rear
of the Stoddart home were rebuilt as a cafeteria seating 120. The garages of the newly-acquired River Street homes were converted to classrooms, primarily for use by the mathematics
department. The College also used outside facilities for meetings, socials, and classes. The Y. M. C. A. continued to be used for indoor athletic facilities while outdoor sports were
acconmodated by land leased at Artillery Park, adjacent to the present Ralston Field in Edwardsville. This was the property of the National Guard and was leased from the state. Classes
and socials were conducted in the First Presbyterian Church House on South Franklin Street, along with weekly convocations that were held in the church sanctuary. Theatrical productions
were given in hm Temple and various high school auditoriums, as well as the tiny 90-seat Chase Theater.
Bucknell Junior College was chartered as Wilkes College in June 194 7. The new College built its first new building behind the former Long home. This was a large lecture hall which
was little more than a box with tiered seating, opened in October 1948. When Stark Hall was built in 1957, the lecture hall would be incorporated into the new building as Stark 116.
There were few ij any students who did not spend much of their college career in this room from its opening until it was final~ removed to make way for the Stark Hall extension, opened
in 1975.
Amore complex and expensive construction project was undertaken when Wilkes built a gymnasium on a large vacant lot on South Franklin Street near Ross. The building was
opened in Septermer 1950. As was the case with the lecture hall, the building was austere but it served until 1988 when it was removed and replaced by a larger, more elaborate
structure.
As the post-war student boom slowed, the need and financial capacity for further expansion diminished. No additional buildings were built prior to the end of the College's second
oocade. However, five more homes were acquired. The College's presence on South Franklin Street was expanded by the purchase of Pickering Hall in 1949 and half of the double block
which would come to be known as Sturdevant Hall in 1952. Gilbert M:Clintock, chair of the Wilkes Board of Trustees, gave two homes on South River north of Northampton Street in
1950 which became Sterling and M:Clintock halls and have served continuously as residence halls since that time. Since the library required additional space, the Morris home at 146 South
River was purchased in 1949 as the new Farley home and the third floor of Kirby added to the library. Pickering and Sturdevant became office and classroom buildings, allowing Ashley Hall
to be converted to a men's residence hall.
By 1953, a combination of property gifts and available open land had allowed Wilkes to extend its influence both north and south of its original center. While its needs had been met
largely by modification of older structures and with ninimal new construction during its first 20 years, this was soon to change.

History of Wilkes

�Building a Coffege
The Evolution of Wilkes has been influenced strongly by external events. The depression of the 1930s was a major factor in its creation. World War II and the revolution in
American higher education after the war contributed to its expansion to a four-year institution. The revolution was stimulated by the G. I. Bill, the first significant federal subsidy for college
education. The subsidy expanded the student reservoir and led to rapid growth of old colleges and a proliferation of new ones. Although Wilkes-Barre had no colleges in 1933, it had
acquired two four-year institutions by 1953.
The expansion of Wilkes faltered as the G. I. Bill ran its course. However, during its third and fourth decades, the College would resume its growth, with the federal government
again acting as a major source of support. Two important factors influenced the third decade. The conclusion of the Korean War lrought more veterans supported by the G. LBill. Following
the launching of Sputnik in 1957, the government broadened its interests from veteran students to support of all higher education, particularly in science and engineering. The third decade
was, therefore, a time in which the relations between Washington and the colleges was being redefined. With the addition of maturing baby boomers to the applicant pool in the 1960s,
Wilkes' fourth decade coincided with the golden age of collegiate growth.
These influences were reflected by renewed expansion of the campus. As enrollment began to increase, dining facilities became inadequate. The resident student dining facility had
been moved from the Long building (renamed Barre Hall) to Sterling Hall in 1950. The old snack bar had been retained in Chase Hall to supplement the Commons, but Chase had its own
space shortage. The problem was resolved in three stages. The Harding home was purchased in June 1954 and converted to a snack bar with four dining rooms on the first floor and a
faculty dining room on the second. Smoking was prohibited except for a room on the second floor front. In 1955, the Commons was more than doubled in size by connecting the existing
structure with the old Kirby garage by a new two-story middle section. Finally, in 1959, Gilbert M:Clintock's law office was willed to the College. The building to the rear of the office
was converted to a snack bar to serve the north end of the campus.
The College increasingly attracted resident students. Only one new residence hall, Warner Hall, was added between 1951 and 1956. It opened for male students in 1954. However,
between 1956 and 1959, seven were added. Two more were opened in 1961 and an additional three in 1962. For details, see the list of residence halls at the left.
More students meant greater demands on instructional facilities as well. The first new academic building, Stark Hall, opened in September 1957. It was built on the site of the ex-garage
classrooms roughly in the center of the block. The main lecture hall was retained and incorporated into the new structure.
kl its search for suitable facilities, Wilkes established a new instructional center at the far north end of the campus. In late 1958, the college purchased the five-story office building
of the Glen Alden Corporation, together with the adjacent home of Glen Alden President Francis Case. The Glen Alden building became Parrish Hall, named in honor of a prominent leader of
the local coal industry, and housed the business department and the comptroller's office.
In November 1961, Wilkes gained national recognition on the NBC 11 Today" program as a successful new urban college. The College also had made a commitment to support technical
graduate programs and facilities in order to bring R. C. A. Corporation to Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes had achieved recognition and growth, but its most explosive growth was yet to come.

Tfie Golden Years
At the beginning of Wilkes· fourth decade, further dramatic changes were already underway. The commitment to graduate technical education led to the construction of a new
extension to Stark Hall, containing 91 rooms and about 38,000 square feet. The research center cost $1,000,000, raised through gifts and a $400,000 grant from the Area Redevelopment
Authority. The building was opened in January 1964.
On August 11, 1964, ground was broken for a Center for the Performing Arts. This was located on the lands originally owned by the Conyngham brothers and enjoyed a commanding
view of the Susquehanna River. Long vacant, the lands were owned by the Wyoming Valley Society of Arts and Sciences and had been destined for the development of cultural facilities.
Since only Wilkes had any prospect of raising sufficient money to build such a facility, the land had been given to the college. Finally, in October 1965, Wilkes acquired a performance
center of its own.
The center, made possible by the anonymous financial support of Dorothy Dickson Darte, was important to the maintenance of the educational balance of the college. By its
construction, Wilkes reaffirmed its dedication to the arts and to a broadly-based education at the same time that it increased its commitment to the sciences. The arts complex was
completed by a music building which opened in mid-1969.
The beginning of Wilkes· fourth decade was also marked by expansion of the outdoor athletic facilities in Edwardsville, across the Susquehanna from the main campus. As already
noted, Wilkes had leased Artillery Field from the Pennsylvania National Guard for use as a baseball field since the 1940s. In 1960 and 1963 the college purchased land between the
Connecting Railroad and Kirby Park, and across Northampton Street from the baseball field, from Glen Alden Corporation. The old colliery site, together with the former mine buildings,
provided Wilkes with a field house and locker rooms, a football field and stands, a soccer field and tennis courts. The new athletic facility was opened in the fall of 1965 and was named
Ralston Field, in honor of George Ralston, Dean of Students and former Wilkes football coach. Improved facilities seemed to inspire improved teams. In the late 1960s Wilkes established a
record 33 consecutive football victories over four seasons, securing national recognition and the Lambert Trophy.
One of the expedients of Wilkes' growth and at the same time one of the institution's charms was the exclusive use of old homes as residence halls. Residents developed an almost
clannish loyalty to the buildings in which they spent their college years. On occasion in the 1960s, students named dormitories with the tacit approval of the college administration. Such
was the case with "Hainna" Hall, commemorating a pejorative colloquialism frequently heard in the Wyoming Valley in those days, and Bruch Hall, named for the faculty resident, and later
redesignated as the second Ashley Hall.
By 1964, housing demands exceeded supply and few additional mansions were available. The College leased housing for the surplus students on the third floor of the Carlyle Drama
School at 224 South Franklin St. and in the Y. M. C. A. and the Sterling Hotel. It also constructed its first new dormitory.
The dormitory was built on land acquired by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in the old blue-collar district along Wright Street. The street was closed and the dormitory and an
attached dining hall were built in the center of the block. Construction began in April 1965 and the "New fvkln's Dorm," later named Pickering Hall, opened in September 1966.
Initial plans called for four identical dornitories, with a dining hall for each pair. Fortunately, the plan was never completed. Pickering was a Y-shaped building accommodating 268 men and
was claimed to be an improvement over the barracks-type dornitories built by other colleges during the post-war expansion.
The added capacity provided only temporary relief. The Sterling Hotel and the Y. M. C. A. continued in use and the College resumed the policy of converting old houses, annual
additions being made through 1971.
Wilkes· library had outgrown Kirby Hall and a new facility was opened in November 1968. It was named the Eugene Shedden Farley Library to commemorate the College's first
president. Similarly, administrative functions had outgrown Chase Hall. This problem was resolved by the gradual conversion of the second Weckesser Hall from a women's residence hall into
the main adninistration building, a process completed in mid-196 7.
Unfortunately, Wilkes' good luck was about to run out. The earliest sign of ill-fortune was the burning of Conyngham Hall, the College's first building, during the Christmas break in
1968. An inconvenience, the fire was followed by a disaster - the Hurricane Agnes Flood of June 1972. The decade which began on a note of promise and optimism ended on a note of
uncertainty

ANumber of fortuitous circumstances combined to make the decade before Hurricane Agnes one of optimism and explosive growth. A series of misfortunes beginning with Agnes
created a different environment. By itself, Agnes could not threaten Wilkes' future, but Agnes was not alone. The end of the baby boom meant that the reservoir of applicants clamoring for
adnission shrank. The reservoir was further diminished by the rapid growth of the Luzerne County Community College, founded in the late 1960s to provide a less expensive alternative for
the first two years of college. Wilkes had been established forty years previous~ to provide the same service and its competition with Kings' College had been on a level playing field. Now
for the first time it was directly competing with a government-subsidized institution.
The economy provided additional difficulties. Flood and competition were followed by the energy crisis and declining federal support for higher education. As the decade progressed,
inflationary pressures increased until prices rose at a rate greater than at any previous time in this century.
The full extent of the crisis did not become evident immediately. Wilkes received $13 million in federal funds to pay for post-flood reconstruction. Plans to complete Stark Hall with a
new ocadenic building fronting on South River Street had begun with demolition of five of the six buildings lying between Chase Hall and the Farley Home in mid-1971. The flood delayed
co~letion but the Stark extension was finally opened in January 1975. In the interim, external space such as the Presbyterian Church House was once again used for classrooms.
As the problems of the seventies deepened, Wilkes moved from a period of expansion to one of consolidation. Only four buildings were acquired between 1973 and 1983, two for
demolition to open up the campus. The southern half of Waller Hall was secured for a residence hall in October 1983. The home at 130 South River St., the last private home in the block,
was secured from the Conyngham estate in October 1975. It was opened in October 1979 as the Conyngham Student Center, replacing the old College Commons which was demolished
three months later.
The loss of some existing and potential residence halls to the flood and the need to reduce costs by consolidating housing facilities caused housing problems, resolved by the lease and
renovation of the housing facilities in the Y. M. C. A., redesignated as the third Miner Hall and opened in September 1980. This allowed the College to abandon its long-term lease of
facilities in the Sterling Hotel. In September 1982, William D. Evans Hall, a new co-ed residence hall, was opened at South River and Northampton streets.
Changing social and demographic conditions led to a change in the character of the campus. While use of existing buildings had allowed Wilkes to develop with minimal facilities
investment, this type of campus brought many liabilities to a maturing college. With more than 60 occupied buildings at the peak, not counting the remaining outbuildings, the College incurred
increasing maintenance expenses. Rising utility costs affected old buildings which lacked adequate insulation, as well as Pickering Hall, which used electric heat, and new Stark, which had
been built with sealed windows and some windowless rooms in the best -70s style.
As Wilkes acquired more neighborhood houses, it increasingly secured less ornate buildings, in contrast to the earlier solid riverfront mansions. Many had been used as apartment
houses with minimal maintenance prior to acquisition by the College. Some had faded with the declining fortunes of the anthracite aristocracy, the descendants of whom took flight to the
suburbs. Buildings such as Kirby, Chase, Bedford, and the Annette Evans Alumni House, formerly the Farley residence, were renovated, but finances limited the extent to which this could be
done.
The problem of preservation was complicated by Agnes. Buildings of marginal condition and utility prior to the flood, particularly in the block below South Street, were financially and
11actically unsalvageable and were re100ved. The decayed out-buildings remaining in the main campus block suffered a similar fate, as did some of the less distinguished buildings along
Franklin Street. Possibly the most regrettable loss was Harding Hall. However, pictures of the time show that Harding had deteriorated significantly prior to purchase. It received its coup de
Jace from Agnes.
The removals caused considerable controversy among area preservationists, controversy which continues today as the campus continues to evolve. However, the efforts which have
been made and which continue to be made, such as the imminent renovation of Capin Hall and the plans for new buildings which will be architectually compatible with the historic character
of the neighborhood, represent an attempt to preserve a sense of the past while creating a viable, functional neighborhood to contribute to Wilkes-Barre's present.
The restructuring of the campus also led to a retreat on its northern frontier. As the College had grown, its direction had been governed as much by targets of opportunity as by a
coherent long-range acquisition plan. By the 1970s, it was clear that the College should concentrate its development between Northampton and Ross streets. Housing in the Sterling Hotel on
Market Street was discontinued in 1981. In 1983 the entire north end of the campus, including Chapman and Parrish halls and the Guidaoce Center, was sold. By that time, Parrish had
outlived its usefulness. Alarge building, its construction resisted easy renovation and it contained much unusable space. It became the headquarters of the Guard Insurance lloup.

From Collaje to University
During the early part of the decade, campus changes continued along the pattern of the 1970s. Following the sale of Parrish Hall, the block between Northampton and South streets
had become the undisputed center of the instructional campus. Two of the seven private homes remaining in this block were acquired and removed in 1984 and 1985. The Fenner home
was donated with continuing right of occupancy by the owner. The first step towards providing a unique identity for the block came with the dedication of the Burns Bell Tower in October
1987.
There was greater activity in the peripheral campus areas. The residence hall row on South River above Northampton was completed with the acquisition of Rifkin Hall in July 1989.
Wilkes property now runs continuously along the Susquehanna River from Sterling Hall on the north to Doane Hall on the south. Two additional buildings were acquired on Franklin Street
below South Street. These were the Max Roth Center (1984) and the apartment building which would become Fortinsky Hall (1987). Fortinsky became the home of the School of Business,
Society and Public Policy and Roth became an administrative building. Together with Schiowitz Hall, which houses the Department of Nursing, these formed an enclave in a block otherwise
given over to student housing and services.
At the end of the decade the new llliversity began a new construction program concentrating on a more functional campus rather than on unplanned growth. The decision to establish
a Pharmacy program required facilities changes which have evolved into the redesign of the campus. The plan provides for a new academic building on Franklin Street between Capin and
Surdevant halls. A900-foot greenway running through the center of the block will become the symbolic center of the campus.
The changes began with renewed purchases in 1992 and 1993. The Minrose, Lichtenstein, and Bell properties on Franklin Street were purchased. Minrose has been renovated as a new
student services building, including the finance and registrar's offices. The Lichtenstein and Bell buildings will be removed.
On the central campus, the home at 67 South Street was acquired in 1993 and, through the generosity of Allen P. Kirby, Jr., renovated as the Allen P. Kirby Center for Free
Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. Fifty-seven years after the acquisition of Conyng-ham and Chase halls, only two private buildings remain in the original block.
The changes will challenge the ingenuity of the University. The River mansions above and below the main campus remain as a reminder of the anthracite era. The renovation of buildings
such as the Kirby Center and Capin Hall, and the continued restoration of Kirby Hall, point to the continued effort of Wilkes to reconcile the inherent conflicts between history and function.

The Wilke's Womens Soccer team's season
was characterized by toughbrakes. Their games
were usually close scoring even going into double
overtime on two occasions; however, they never
seemed to end in favor of the Lady Colonels.
Even though their season was off to a slow start
with the loss of their Freshman goalie Tiffany
Mascelli, the Lady Colonels still earned the numbertwo seed for the Freedom Conference Playoffs.
Going into the playoffs, the Lady Colonels were 61 in the conference with the help of their new
goalie, Junior Katie Green. Wilkes started the
playoffs with a 4-1 victory over Drew. Freshman
Rena Bolin lead the Colonels scoring all four goals.
The Wilkes women's soccer team was now
headed to its first Freedom Conference
Championship where they would face the
University of Scranton. Rena Bolin would again
have the lone goal for the Lady Colonels however
that would not be enough for the win. The
University of Scranton was victorious with two
goals. The Lady Colonels overcame many
obstacles to finish second place in the Freedom
Conference with a final record of 9-11-1.
The Lady Colonels had many leaders on the field. The goal
scoring was lead by Bolin with 14 for the season, followed by senior
captin Holly Shiber with eight. Senior Danielle McDonald added five
goals for the season with freshman Leanne Rivers close behind with
four.
These goals could not have happened without the help from their teammates. Senior Tina
Mooney lead the Lady Colonels in assists with six while Sophomore Jennifer Marks added five. The
soccer teams defense was lead by Green who had a total of 86 saves in the cage for the Colonels.

A young Wilkes University football team took the field during the 2002 season and came away
with a record of 7-4 and an Eastern College Athletic Conference title.
The Colonels copped the ECAC South Atlantic crown by disposing of the United States Merchant
Marine Academy, 33-7, in the title game. It was the squad's third ECAC appearance in four years,
and the second time the Colonels have copped an ECAC championship during that span.
Sophomore Brett Trichilo led the Wilkes Offensive attack despite missing five games due to an
injury. Trichilo averaged 125.8 yards rushing per game after racking up 755 yards on 125 carries. He
averaged an impressive six yards per rushing attempt and reached the endzone five times. Fellow
sophomores Maleek Mills and Kyle Gallagher, along with freshman Jake Remmel, also enjoyed fine
campaigns. The group helped Wilkes lead the MAC in rushing yards per game, as the Colonels
picked up 242.5 yards per game on the ground.
Paving the way up front for the Blue and Gold was an outstanding group of lineman. The five
starters, Jason Holloway, Mike Liberski, Tom Wighard, Matt Begansky, and Tim Letcher, allowed only
16 sacks throughout the season.
Sophomore quarterback Matt Kaskie acquitted himself well during his first full season as the
team's starting signal-caller. Kaskie threw for 1,220 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also rushing for
419 yards and one touchdown. His top target was junior wide receiver Mike Walk, who had 29
catches for 473 years and four scores. Junior Bobby Thompson added for 10 catches for 228 yards
and three touchdowns. Junior tight end Brian Fritts also had ten receptions for 174 yards and three
scores.
The Wilkes defense was equally impressive during the season. The Colonels ranked among the
conference leaders in rushing defense after allowing a mere 94.7 yards per game on the ground.
The linebacker tandem of senior Mike DaRe and junior Steve Rogers anchored the defensive
group. DaRe, a three-time first team all-star, ended the season with 80 tackles, including seven
behind the line of scrimmage. He also had two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Rogers
contributed 73 tackles, including six for a loss. He also had two interceptions and two quarterback
sacks.
The defensive front line was anchored by the tandem of senior Dustin Bernatovich and
sophomore Julian Morales. Bernatovich had 32 tackles, including seven behind the line of
scrimmage. Morales tallied 28 tackles and two sacks. He also tied for the team lead in tackles for a
loss with defensive end Nick Rollman. Rollman, who had 30 tackles, and Morales both had ten stops
in the backfield.
In the secondary, sophomore Troy Wilson proved to be a thorn in the side of opponents. Wilson
ranked third on the team with 54 tackles, while also picking off four aerial attempts and knocking
down 12 passes. Junior Chris Caccavale, who had 51 tackles and three sacks, along with junior Jon
Jamison, who finished the campaign with 49 tackles, also made key contributions.
The Wilkes kicking game was led by senior Will McLaughlin. McLaughlin connected on a schoolrecord 10-of-17 field goal attempts during the season, while also making 30-of-34 extra point tries.
Included was a 45-yard field goal, a school-record, in the team's 23-14 win at Lycoming College.
Freshman Kyle Devlin handled the punting chores throughout the season. Devlin punted the ball
51 times and averaged 34.8 yards per boot. He also did an outstanding job pinning opponents deep,
killing 13 punts inside of the opponents 20-yard line.

�Since 1933, as l!3uckneff IAniversitlj Cjunior College, Wilkes has been
under constant construction academical/0 and structurall!j in order to
meet the school's commitment to higher education. 9n 19LJ11!3/AC]C was
chartered as Wif kes Colfege, an independent non-denominational four0ear cof fege with degrees offered in the arts and sciences, and a number
ofprofessional fief ds as we/ I as a fu/1 program ofextra curricular activities.
The student bod!j and facult!j grew rapidl!j in the 1950's, and expansion
into graduate studies followed in the 1960's and 1910's. Wilkes gained
further recognition as an increasingl!j sophisticated regional center for
teaching, academic research, cultural affairs, and public service
programs in the 1980's. 130 1990 the college was designated as Wilkes
IAniversitlj, beginning a new era of progress as an increasingl!j
distinguished and prominent academic institution.
Preparing for future academic needs, in ~ugust of 1995 Wilkes
plans to open its $1 million classroom building on South ;rank/ in Street.
The 55.000 square foot facilitlj will house the School of liberal ~rts and
Human Sciences and the School of l!3usiness Societ0 and Pub/ ic Policlj.
Common facilities such as computer labs and student/facult!j lounges
will also occup!j part of tne new building. The construction of this facilitlj
is the latest step in a $25 million campus development project
announced in ~ugust 1993. 9n addition to the classrooms and office
buildings, Wif kes will also renovate the Stark [earning Center and its
laboratories to accommodate the new Pharmac0 Program and wif I add
a new student center and dining facilitlj.
Completion of the current project wi/1 certainl!j strengthen Wif kes'
liberal education which is a balance between theoretical and practical
application of know/ edge in preparation for professional use. Students
wif I have the opportunit!j of appl!jing knowledge to real problems b!j
working in well-equipped laboratories, serving internships,
participating in cooperative ec;fucation, and will meet the challenges of a
rapidl!j changing worlc;f anc;f of competitive graduate anc;f professional
schools.

�Imagine
The wooa1anas was 1ne
place for the annual Homecoming
Dinner Dance Celebration this
year. Arriving at 6 p.m. students
and their dates were served
cocktails. The colors for this year
were pearl pink, black and white
and the theme was "Imagine" . The
drinks flowed freely even though
each student had to pay , alter a
S18 ticket charge. Some said that
they would have rather had abullet
even though they thought that the
food was good. The following day,
Wilkes hosted Juanita lor the
annual Homecoming football game
at Ralston Field. Tailgaters got out
to the field as usual around 9:30
a.m. Alter the second quarter
people came out of the haze of
alcohol to hear the announcement
for the 1994 Homecoming King and
Queen.
The final court consisted of
Patti Gardener, Jennifer Gregory,
Sabeth Ryan, Stefan Clausen, Devin
Licklider, and Jessie Gross. After
lots of cheering President Breiseth
announced the King Jessie Gross
and the Queen Sabeth Ryan. It was
all you could imagine a great
evening could be.

once again . ..
Cinema was the theme for this year's annual Winter
Weekend gala. All over the Wilkes campus, and
spilling across the Market Street Bridge, inebriated
students frightened local residents with shirts
featuring twisted alcoholic parodies of popular
movies. Quentin Tarentino flicks seemed to be
especially well-represented, with the teams
"Natural Born Drinkers" and "Reservoir Red Dogs"
making their appearances. Students competed in
keg rolls, tug-of-war, wheel-barrow races, a
volleyball tournament, and the challenging amoeba
race, in which students get to celebrate their
primordial ancestry-many practiced for this at
parties the night before. "The Wizard of Oz" won
the first-place prize, second place was taken by "ET
(Extremely Trashed)," and third place went to
"Revenge of the Nerds." Local residents are still
recovering, but are quite thankful that the $760
raised in proceeds will be donated to the Make-AWish Foundation, rather than future keg parties. So
at least more came out of it all than a few
hangovers.

The Spring dance is
one of Wilkes yearly
events. For students who
enjoy romance, fun, and
getting dressed-up, this
was an event to attend.
This year the theme was
Masquerade. Couples
and singles attended the
event at Genusie banquet hall. There was a
good turn-out. Everyone
was dancing to 80s music. Once in awhile a
slow song would draw
the crowd to the dance
floor with their date. This
event was sponsored by
the Student government.

On Wednesday, November 16, 1994 at 6:00
p.m. in Rumours, students gathered to attend the
Oxfam Hunger Banquet as part of Wilkes Hunger
and Homelessness Week. The slogan of Oxfam
says that "the roots of hunger lie not in natural
disasters, scarcity of food, or people's unwillingness to work hard, but rather in poverty and injustice, unequal distribution of resources, and the debt
burden of poor countries." Students were shown a
video on Oxfam' s beliefs and then pieces of paper
were handed out. Depending upon the picture on
your paper, you were placed in the first, second, or
third world. The first world represented countries
like the US, Canada, and Japan. A small majority
ate roast beef and fine wine and were waited on.
The second world served themselves and ate rice
and beans. They represented countries making
under $7,000 a year. The third world ate rice with
cabbage leaves (no utensils were provided) and
drank dirty water. They represented countries
such as Vietnam, El Salvador and Sudan.
With all three classes in one room, they were
able to view each other and their individual situations. Discussions were led by Dr. Holiday Adair
who is a psychology teacher at Wilkes. Each
world was able to voice their opinion. Christiana
Poff (a sophomore who ate in the first world)
commented "We are extremely lucky. Being able
to look at 2nd and 3rd worlds we feel guilty only
because we see them." Emily Forman (a sophomore who ate in the third world) felt degraded
because "the 1st world threw their scraps at us."
The banquet ended with a few startling
facts:
• 30 million Americans are hungry.
• 1.2 billion people world wide live in
absolute poverty.
• The top fifth of the people on the global
economic ladder enjoy 60 time the goods and
services of the lower fifth.
• One third of the grain grown in the world
and one-half of the fish are caught and fed to
animals in wealthy countries.

Dean Allen shows the rest of the third world how to properly use a cabbage leaf to pick up rice.

�Valuable Experience
Wilkes University offers to its
students many valuable experiences,
including the ability to learn in a variety
of employment fields. The work-study
program on the campus employs students
in many different areas and disciplines.
Students have the opportunity to choose
between working in an office or
laboratory, or doing specialized work in
their major area of study.
This program grants several
advantages to those who partake. First,
it helps students become more involved
with the ongoings of the university.
There is also the ability to work more
closely with a professor in gaining
valuable experience needed after
graduation. Also, the supervisors of these
students act not only as a "boss," but also
as a guiding teacher into the real world
by offering support and confidence.
Work study students enjoy their jobs as student broadcasters during sporti ng events.

Students enjoy the Reflection Dinner after a dedicated week of
volunteer service .

Kellie Klein, La Tanya Urquhart.

�For the past few years the Programming Board has presented a Murder
Mystery to Wilkes University students. It
is a social event in which students come
to solve a staged murder. Approximately
35 people were present this year at the
Sub with their pencil and paper ready to
solve a crime. The person who guessed
the correct killer won either a T-shirt or
$50. At the conclusion, six individuals
chose the correct killer, three of who
received a T-shirt. The Murder Mystery
was a Top Hat production.

Right: Students listen as the actors
and the actresses recount their
own stories.

This was the third 0ear that
Wilkes Circle K along with other college

from 1-12 p.m . each night. All profits
were donated to fight illiternc0.
Circle K has been ver0 successful
in past 0ears. Their efforts and support
from other universities makes this event
a success.
This event not on/0 helped the
communities as a whole, but it also gave

�A.I.D.S.

Imagine sitting in a room and being
told by a ten year old that there is a madness
going around that kills and you have to face
its music. That's what happend when
H ydeia Broadbent of Las Vegas came to talk
about the disease that is killing her and
many globally today. She told us that
A.I.D.S. is the third largest killer there is and
safe sex helps to reduce the chances of infection.
She explained to a packed Dorhty
Dickson Darte Center that, "five minutes of
thrill is not worth A.I.D.S." She, of course,
knows only about not wanting A.I.D.S. One
reason is she has to live the rest of her life
with a back-pack full of medicines that are
injected into her system daily.
She urged that the high risk, unsafe
sex practicers (junior high to college students) to practice safe sex.
"That's not the way it goes, thinking
you can't get it!" said Hydeia.
Listen to the wise words of a tenyear- old this time, it could save your life.
And always remember,"IT CAN
HAPPEN TO YOU!"

A light shone throughout
Wilkes as students, faculty,
and community residents
formed a semi-circle and
listened to the inspiring
words of a resident who is
living with A.I.D.S. The
Anonymous speaker explained how A.I.D.S. has
affected everyone not just a
select few people. Stillness
greeted the first candle that
was lit. After the light passed
from one person to the next,
Wolrd A.I.D.S. Day became
brightened with hope.

�BLOCK PARTY!!
This was the first annual event for both
Wilkes students and the students of nearby
schools. The event provided a day full of fun,
music, games, and other exciting activities. A
variety of fun games attracted the attention of
many students. It was set up like a small
carnival and included three small swimming
pools, bungee running, and the human spinning wheel. There was also Sumo wrestling,
Twister, a softball game, and sand volleyball.
Some of the campus clubs such as Campus
Interfaith, Volunteer Services, Multicultural
Students Coalition, took part in the event.
Vendors were there with all kinds of food and
drink for those active participants. The radio
station was there playing hit songs. Tribes
was also at the scene of the block party,
performing live. The Off Campus Council
was responsible for making this event happen.
They hope to keep this event running in the
near future, so come out and support your
fellow students.

SIGHT AT THE
PAJAMY JAMI
The Pajamy Jam Party had a great
turnout from the Wilkes community once
again this year. DJ Mel spun a motley of
tunes including rap, reggae, and dance
music. The vibes blasted all night in the
Cafeteria. The dress code for the evening
for Wilkes students, campus and offcampus was silk pajamas and cotton
boxers. In these comfortable clothes, the
students were jamming on the floor. A
special appearance and performance by the
Body Snatcher and the Enuch made the
evening an even bigger success. The DJ's
played hits with great rhythm and soul.
The party was the main attraction for that
Friday evening and there was not a "ZZZZ"
in sight.

�Ghosts Invade Kirby Hall
Is Kirby Hall haunted? The question remains. Believers hoped to catch a glimpse of the
famed Kirby Hall ghost on the night of the annual Halloween reading. On Friday, October 28th,
members of the English department read poetry, excerpts, and short stories appropriate to the
occasion. Listeners included students, faculty, and even some strangers, including the enigmatic
"Red Devil" woman.
Professor Joseph Battaglia opened the reading with a selection of "some never before read
aloud" original poetry. "The situation hasn't been strange enough," said Battalgia.
Titles for the evening included "Comprehension of the Universe," "Our Heavenly Body,"
and "Good Humor." Student Darlene Jones, dressed in a black evening gown, described in a
clipped, measured voice, the properties of a witch (we're still wondering about her). All eyes were
on Darlene as she warned, "Witches. They're part of our world."
Other participants included Dr. Darin Fields, Darren Elias, Dr. Lee Terry, Lisa Mastruzzo, and Ed
McGinnis.
Kirby Hall was dressed for the occasion. The grandfather ~lock was wrapped in cobwebs
and candelabras graced the fireplace mantle with flickering flames throwing shadows on the
ceiling. Perhaps most startling, especially to those seated close to the massive staircase, was the
neatly knotted noose which hung straight down from the floor above. All in all, a well-"executed"
reading.

�HonoRzn~ Excellence
Phi Eta Sigma is a national scholastic honor society. It is designed to honor college
freshmen who earned grade point averages in the top ten percent for their first semester of
course work. The oldest and biggest freshman honor society, Phi Eta Sigma first began at the
University of Illinois in 1923, and was voted into the Association of College Honor Societies in
1937. In 1993, Wilkes University began its own chapter of this organization. At a ceremony held
during the spring of 1994, the first 44 members were inducted, along with 9 honorary members.
Each year, additional freshmen are chosen to take part in this group through their time at
Wilkes.
In order to be eligible for the lifetime membership of this society, a freshman must have a
cumulative gradepoint average of at least 3.5 at the end of any curricular semester during their
first year at Wilkes.
Under the advising of Dr. Lawrence Kuhar, the organization held a T-shirt/baseball cap
sale in Spring of 1995 and helped during the Open House with recruiting.

College is just a fraction of my life that flew
by, but the memories and learning experiences will be a part of me forever.
-Shelly Vitzakovitch

The friendships and experiences I've had
with both students and faculty will have a
significant impact in guiding me in all my
future endeavors. The closeness and
camaraderie of a small school like Wilkes
has allowed me to take on and accomplish
goals that may have otherwise been
unachievable at a larger school.

�Field Hockey
Once again Wilkes' Field Hockey team captured the Freedom League title ... this time
with an undfeated league record. The team played in the ECAC playoffs again. Just
looking at the wins and losses of this team is an injustice though. The field hockey
team is an outstanding group. It is not every-team that can put each of its players on
the field and still feel confident with the group out there. No matter what the statistics
show or what the press prints, every member of this team is a star in one way or
another. There are some positions on the field that just make for stardom and others
that seem to be thankless. It takes an entire team to play the game and develop the
right combination. You need the entire team on and off the field to put their personal
goals into proper perspective and set the team's goals highest. It takes dedication and
determination in a special kind of person. Wilkes was lucky to have an entire team
with these special qualitites pushed by strong leadership, leadership not just from one
or two people but from within the makeup of each member.
Attending a game or practice, one quickly gets the distinct impression that here is a
team with an intense desire to do well but are yet supportive and friends to each other.
Each athletic team has a job to do and a goal to fulfil. Not every team is lucky enough
to have coaches who can lead their team to accoplish the goals they set and maintain
the status of friends. Thanks to Addy &amp; M.J. the Lady Colonels were able to win the
ECAC Division Ill Mid -Atlantic field hockey title for the second straigth year and set a
school record for wins while developing a spirit of comradery within the ranks.

4lhe 1994-1995 season for the Wilkes Mens Colonels was an unexpected success.
The team had improved their skills, momentum, and team work. They came out with the
intention to succeed. The team worked together and the attitude they brought with them to
the game helped them achieved their title for the season. They finished the season as Middle
Atlantic Conference Freedom Championship team. They achieved the title by beating FDU
Madison in the Marts Center. The Colonels got an anticipated bid in the NCAA Division III
Final Four. This was the first Wilkes team to pass the "Sweet 16."
The team is young and growing every year. Best of luck to Coach Rickrode next
season. Keep up the good effort.

played their best and gave 110% effort. Stacey Boyer, a senior attained
her goal of 1000 points. The ladies did their best and they are ready for
the challenge ahead of them next year.
Many of the players are returning next year to try again. Coach

is not going to help me find my gate access
card. Once again, I have misplaced that
2X4 piece of cardboard that allows me
entrance into what I call the "student
parking complex." A piece of plywood is the
only thing that separate s me from getting
my car into one of the last available parking
spaces in the lot. Searching under the
passenger seat, I finally achieve my goal I find my card. After rolling down the
window, I quickly swipe my card. Much to
my dismay, the light goes red meaning that
the gate will not open. I try again, this
time with some patience, and am finally
rewarded with the 1green light and watch
with triumph as the gate goes up. I pull my
car into a narrow space, toss some apologies
to-the people in the cars behind me, and
run off to class.
This semester, I have been bestowed
with the honor of receiving a much sought
after parking permit. But along with that
privilege came a semester fee and the
constant worries that security will tow my
car if the permit is in the wrong place in the
window. But this procedure is a definite
step up from the marathon race to the
meters every hour.
. As I enter my second year on this
campus, I am pleased to see that there are
opportunities for commU:ters to become
involved with the school. Of course I had to
be willing to look around for them and I
was not disappointed with my efforts, for I
created some new friendships and also
became a participating member in life on
campus.
In general, this year is shaping up to
be pretty enjoyable. As far as the gate card
is concerned, hey, maybe I'll get smart and
hang it on a chain from the rear view
mirror.

Walt Whitman echoes the Wilkes
University tradition of Unity
Amidst Diversity when he writes:
"Regardless of others, ever
regardful of others."
Individualism on the Wilkes campus
thrives within our diversified
community.
From the obvious to the obscure,

our differences become ours
The undeniable diversity on
campus - commuters and dorm
students; science, business, and
liberal arts majors; American and
foreign-born students and
faculty - supports an even larger
community of acceptance.

��By embracing our diversity, we
promote our tJnity and
\

achieve oneness through
cooperation. Individuals
I

I

working together transform
!

themselves into a collective
\

union of diverse yet similar
goals and aspirations. The
AIDS Memorial Quilt displayed
at Wilkes from November 30
through December 2,
embodies the fundamental
principles of Unity Amidst
Diversity. The names on the
quilt and those involved in its
display represent all mankind
in the fight against a common
enemy. Brought together
through diversity, the Wilkes
tradition of unity nurtured a
community of solidarity during
1993-94.

�Club Day
Cloudy skies threatened rain, but the foul
weather managed to hold itself off long
enough for another Club Day to take place.
Once again, university clubs were out in full
force, trying to rally new members to their signup sheets, baiting freshmen with various
munchables, and signing up old members
who felt obligated to take part in the freeloading, too. This year the students AIDS
Awareness Committee make its first appearance, giving out red ribbons to every-one,
and displaying a video featuring the AIDSMemorial Quilt, which was due to visit the
school a few months later. Of course the old
clubs made their return too; Cue'n Curtain
made its annual trip across Chase Lawn with
its prophetic rubber chicken, and the engineers showed off another feat of science, this
year a robotic arm. Also appearing among
the crowds was an extremely random monkey, but no one could quite figure out what
club he was affiliated with. So, in short, Club
Day was once again a strange yet decided
succcess.

Make a wish!

Students actively sign up for various clubs on campus.

�Homecoming '93
Embodying Colonels spirit and pride, students, teachers, and alumni conglomerated for Homecoming 1993, a three-day affair rendering unity, victory, and gaiety.
Festivities commenced on September 30th with the traditional lighting of the bonfire.
The crowd's enthusiastic cheers reverberated throughout the chilly night air as seniors
were recognized for their involvement in various sports teams, as the Homecoming
Court was selected, and as the Delaware Valley dummy was ignited.
The revelries continued with the Homecoming Dance, held at Genetti' s, on
October 1st. Taking as its theme "Diamonds Are Forever," the dance attracted a large
crowd who enjoyed the buffet style dinner as well as the dancing. A one dollar donation from each ticket was collected for a local charity.
Activities culminated on October 2nd as throngs of people gathered in the
warm weather to support their Alma Mater. Before the exciting game between the
Colonels and the hosted Delaware Valley, students in McClintock Hall exulted in their
winning of the Decorating of the Dorms contest. The homecoming court was also
introduced as members were driven onto the field in sleek convertibles. The announcement of Homecoming King and Queen, Joe Schlaegel and Julie DePue, rendered hugs and cheers as both were crowned. Colonel Bob rallied the crowds as he
rode unicycles, a go-cart, and a horse, threw Hershey Kisses and footballs, and performed cheers as the Colonels played hard to achieve an overall victory of (score).
Homecoming 1993 was indeed one of many events to underscore the Wilkes tradition
of unity amidst diversity.

��Colonel Bob
Give me a W !. ..
The most recognizable face on campus, Wilkes mascot Colonel Bob adds an
exciting twist to all campus sports events. The teams all agree that Colonel Bob gives
above and beyond the call of duty. Dressed in his uniform and sporting two unicycles,
a go-cart, and a bicycle, our mascot proudly supports the teams at all of the gameseven those played away from Wilkes.
Colonel Bob's dedication lasted through the entire football season and included many
unexpected surprises: a horse at homecoming, an entrance by helicopter, and a police
limo escort. What's next? For Colonel Bob, a losing bet with the football team ended
the season. The last game of the season, against King's, found the team undefeated. In
response to a bet that it ~ouldn'tl&gt;e done, Colonel Bob shaved a mohawk and a flying
"W" into hjs hair. Coldnel Bob certainly adds a new dimension to the concept of team
spirit.
Colqnel Bob's dynamic spirit will be well-missed on campus. With many thanks
and fond memories, the entire campus wishes Bob well as he leaves Wilkes with the
class of 1994.

�George

rlin

Comedian George Carlin kept a packed crowd of young and old alike laughing at the Marts
center on October 3rd, during Homecoming weekend. Carlin brought his trademark blend of scathing
social commentary and clever word play to bear on everything from the Pope and "Yuppies" to more
familiar Carlin topics like his pet's antics, dirty words, and the "little things we all do" but never talk
about.
A veteran comedian, Carlin became famous in the seventies for his "seven dirty words you can't
say on TV" which satirized FCC censorship of vulgarity on the airwaves and which ultimately resulted
in a supreme court ruling on the issue. In addition to having comedy specials on HBO and keeping pace
on the college circuit, he recently started his own sit-com on the Fox network, "The George Carlin
Show."
Showing no signs of slowing down, Carlin, decked out in a black t-shirt with his graying hair
pulled back in a pony-tail, treated the Wilkes crowd to over an hour of fast-paced, hard ball stand-up
comedy not intended for the timid. Carlin's routine cast irreverent jabs at sensitive topics, like abortion,
the Catholic Church, and at our deepest inhibitions about embarrassing moments, like farting, sex, and
masturbation.
No matter how sensitive the topic, however, Carlin's real focus is often language and how our
words humorously reveal our deeper common human fears, frustrations and anxieties.
For his long-standing fans and for a new generation of college students seeing him for the first
time, Carlin proved once again that his wit and his appeal are enduring, and he left us all looking
forward to seeing him again.

INTO THE STREETS, an annual
program at Wilkes to promote student
awareness of community issues, once
again succeeded in addressing the
problems of homelessness. Those
affected by homelessness have diverse
and varied backgrounds. They include
those on the borderlines of poverty who
were once thriving members of their
communities. Perhaps most disturbing is
the incidence of childhood homelessness.
Children, the most diverse among those
affected, are not given the opportunities
to express their individual hopes and
dreams without the proper shelters from
the harsh life of the streets. Perhaps with
the INTO THE STREETS program, the
Wilkes community can continue to
promote its theme of UNITY AMIDST
DIVERSITY.

"Who Dunnit?"
The turn out was better than was expected. for the Murder Mystery Event. The Lab
thearte was packed, but there was just enough
room for eveyone to enjoy themselves.
Everyone was involved in this murder
mystery play. The actors would give the audience
clues and tell the audience about themself. So, we
would be able to figure out who is the killer.
Then students were asked who thought
the killer was, and the person with the right
response will be given a prize. But since there are
so many people, the card with the right answer
go through another draw, and the final four will
get the prizes.

No applause - Just throw money!

The annual English Department Halloween
Reading was held in the Kirby Hall on October 29.
Students and faculty, some in costume, shared
their favorite ghoulish tales in the candle-lit lobby
as the ghost of Kirby made its presence known.
The selections read included "The October Game"
by Ray Bradbury, "The Dead" by James Joyce,
and "Porphyria' s Lover" by Robert Browning. As
the orators read their selections, the infamous
Kirby ghost made a horrifying appearance on the
second floor landing before disappearing into the
night for another year. After the literary
celebration, refreshments were served in the
Kirby Salon as students and faculty celebrated the
holiday.

"Remembering the Past

"Remembering the past to guide the future" functioned as a beacon of hope for the community during AIDS Awareness
Week which commenced on Monday, November 29 and concluded on Friday, December 3. The week-long observance
successfully endeavored to provide cognizance and knowledge of the frequently misunderstood disease through numerous
planned events. For three days, the Marts Center Gymnasium exhibited a portion of the Names Project AIDS Quilt. Composed
of individual panels rendered by families, friends, and lovers, the quilt solemnizes those who died from AIDS.
Students, faculty, administration, local social service workers, and area high school teachers organized the community

effort by not only displaying the quilt but also by sponsoring guest lecturers and panel discussions. Jeanne White, whose son
Ryan died of AIDS as a result of a blood tranfusion, voiced her AIDS prevention message to a crowd assembled in the CPA on
the first night of the week. Other events that occurred throughout the week included discussions regarding AIDS transmission
and prevention, AIDS testing, and the legal and biological issues of AIDS.
Those in attendance gained a better understanding of AIDS which will prepare them in adequately dealing with both
the AIDS victim and the disease itself.

This Year's Winter Weekend events started and ended in the gym.
This was greatly appreciated by teams and judges alike as a way to get
away from the winter weather. Many creative banners and shirts based on
cartoons were shown of during Friday Nights' opening ceremony.
The events of the weekend included the volleyball marathon, bat
spin, amoeba, keg roll, tug of war, blind basketball, relay races, and the
addition of tray races. Each competition gained points for the teams that
placed in the top four.

Wilkes was treated to the wonder and
beauty of Tibetan sacred music and
dance when the monks of the
Drepung Loseling Monastery
performed at the Dorothy
DicksonDarte Center on Tuesday, April
5, 1994. Their performance was based
upon their Tibetan tradition of
celebrating a spiritual festival with
music and dance for the purpose of
rejuvenating the spirit, mind, and soul.
The Tibetan chants, and oral tradition
rich in centuries of history, succeeded
in unifying the audience with their
diverse and beautiful cultural strengths.

-------------------------On Saturday, April 30th, the Wiilkes
University Battle of the Bands was
fought among five very talented
groups. The bands, Garage,
Lyonesse, Saturated Fat, One Lone
Elvis, and Sun Burns Cold, competed
for cash prizes in Rumours at the Marts
Center. Each band qualified for the
competition by having at least two
Wilkes student members. The evening,
hosted by comedy team Red Johnny
and the Round Guy of MTV, included
various types of music. Those bands
winning prizes included Lyonesse, first
place; One Lone Elvis, second place;
and Saturated Fat, third place. From
alternative rock to original songs, the
five bands who competed successfully proved both their talent and skill.

�Virtuality
"Welcome to the future."
Virtual reality, the newest technological
wonder to enter the cultural mainstream,
made a popular appearance on the Wilkes
campus during the spring semester. Students
and faculty alike joined in the fun as they
experienced a world almost like their own. The
simulations, conducted in the Stark Lobby,
recreated life situations with the help of specially equipped helmets and gear. But
isn't college life its own virtual reality?

�Commuter Life
"Why Can't Cars Deflate?"
An excerpt from the Memoirs of a
Commuter.
"Would somebody please turn off that radio?" I
mumble into the dark room. After realizing that it is
my stereo that is the source of the disturbance, I
fumble for the snooze button. After 10 more minutes
of rest, the radio blares again. If I don't get up now, I
will never get a parking place.
After a quick shower, I dig out some clothes from
my closet that don't look too wrinkled. I grab a
doughnut from a box on the counter and take a sip of
orange juice. Collecting up all of my books and
papers, I drag myself outside and get into my car.
This is the fun part of the day -- the 20 minute
drive to the campus. I find myself either stuck behind
a 10- year old car that could not go any faster even if
Superman were pushing it, or being pushed behind by
a gas guzzling, air polluting 18 -wheeler.
The campus parking lots are once again already
filled. I am forced to drive in circles looking for an
available meter, and a parking space big enough for
my car. I fish into my pockets for my always present
resevoir of quarters for the meters. The cops in this
town are like hounds. Once they hear the click of the
meter running out of time, the pen is out and writing
a ticket.
To take advantage of the nice weather, Lisa Kinns and Nancy Kulikoski decided to
Off to classes, I hoist my bookbag onto my
study outside.
shoulder. It's filled with 500 page books that each
weigh 10 lbs. If I had enough time before my first
class, I would stop at my locker, but thanks to the
parking situation, I will have just enough time to get
my seat before the bell rings.
Lunch is an enjoyable time. I sit in the SUB and
chat with friends, catching up on the latest news or sit
catching up on my assignments. And then the
interlude is over, I am thrown back into the rush of
the day with no real place to rest.
At the end of the day, I fortunately find my car
without a ticket. This was probably because every
hour or so I was outside putting more money in the
meter. I throw my books into the front seat, get in ,
and take a minute's rest. Waiting for a clear space in
the rush hour traffic, I pull out and find myself going
on the same route I will take the next day, and the day
after that, and so on ...

�What do you think of when someone says "dorm life'? Is it noisy, overcrowded living quarters, or a place to
develop a lasting freindship and have a good time? Many of the students who live in the dorms have stated that it is
a little of both. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Douglas Shaw, R.A. of Diaz, claims that living in a dorm
makes it "pretty easy to find someone who can help you in a subject at a minute's notice." Jennifer Gregory, R.A. of
the second floor of Evans added that there is "always someone around to talk to."
Many see dorm life as a learning experience. You "learn consideration and tolerance of another," claims
. Holli Root, R.A. of McClintock. It is also a chance to see what living on your own is like added Monal Jagani, RA.
of Dirksen. You learn how to get along with others while living in a group setting.
Dorm life also has its disadvantages. One is the fact that it is "noisy at times" and "not a very good place to
study for an exam," claims Jen Gregory. Several students living in Weiss cite not knowing some people and not
trusting them when your door is open as a disadvantage. Others include gossip, non-personal showers, and the fight
for bathroom·or lounge (TV) time.
Each dorm sponsors several events each year for its residents in addition to having dorm meetings,
educationals, and socials. Many dorms participated in the Homecoming contest by decorating thier dorms.
Residents of Butler planned to play skirmish while Sterling had a pool tournament. Dirksen Hall had a pizza party
and planned to take a trip to Taco Bell and to go bowling. Some dorms such as McClintock, Weiss, and Sterling
contributed to AIDS Awareness by attending seminars and speeches and helping with the AIDS quilt. Some of the
activities held by Weiss Hall included making spaghetti one night, painting eggs, having an Easter egg hunt and

Spacious two-bedroom apartment (if you

Wilkes. Despite the threat of roommate
wars, missing clothes, and messy

enjoy the freedom and independence of
apartment life. Free from the dorm rules

Great Heights
With an impressive record of 10-1-0, the
football team soared to great heights! For
the first time in ten years, the Colonels won
the MAC tournament and earned their first
trip to the NCAA playoffs. The team,
however, could not have done it without the
dedication of Coaches Jones, DeMelfi, and
Sheptock. Individual team members were
also awarded: Jason Feese and Jake Cole
were named All-American; Jason Smith
received all-time rusher; and Steve Endres received all-time leading receiver.
Coach Joe DeMelfi also ran away with several honors which included MAC
"Coach of the Year" and Jostens National "Coach of the Year." Through much
hard work and determination, the team achieved their best season ever!

Strong Foundation
1993 was a
succesful year for
the field hockey
team finishing with
a record of 11-8-1.
the Lady Colonels
dazzled their fans
by capturing the
ECAC title after a
tough loss to
Messiah. Although
the loss seemed like a crumbled dream to the players,
the foundation which the team was built upon
continued to stand strong. That foundation would be
Coach Addy Malatesta. Coach Malatesta began to build
her winning team four years ago by recruiting what
would become this years captains: Toni Farinella,
Justine Nemshick, and Ali Adomiak. Malatesta
continued to build the team by picking up strong
players, such as, Amy Pylke, Kim Kaskel, and Tracy
Engle . What makes Malatesta a winning coach is the
support she offers atheticaly, academicaly, and
emtionaly to her players. This support was what held
the team together as they eagerly awaited the response
of the committee after the loss of Messiah to find out
whether or not they would have one more chance to
compete in 1993 season. When the response was
positive the team knew they had one more chance to
walk away champions. With only one more week to
extend the season, each player gave a little more of their
ability and personality to contribute to the common goal
which they had not only workd for all season, but in
some cases for four years.

Steph and Ali can't hide their happiness after winning the ECAC
playoff game.

The 1993
women's tennis
team enjoyed
its best season
in years. A 5-7
season
successfully
ended in the
MAC Freedom
League with a 3-3 record and a MAC
trophy in the doubles division.
A very strong singles lineup, led by Gina
Taylor, Jessica Bixler, and Karen Beling,
provided a winning attitude for the team and
the growing tennis program. Two singles
players made it into the tournament play,
however Denise Motts lost in the first round
while Gina Taylor made it to the Semi-finals.
In the doubles division, the duo of Beling and
Bixler went to the MAC playoffs and came back
with the trophy.

team, neither

team members
from rallying to a

Freedom playoffs with a 8-9-2 record. Several
team members also received individual
recognition. Chris Erb received first team
honorable mention and offense team MVP.
Chad Heffner and Dean Kontometros received
second team honorable mention, and Heffner
received defense team MVP. Viewing the
team's status, Matt Rosenberg speaks on
behalf of his team, "This year was a bit
disappointing for upper classmen as well as
[for] freshmen. Next year should be a season
to look forward to."

The women's
soccer team,
according to
team member
Maria Pettilo,
illuminated "a
season of
adjustments,
togetherness,
learning." Although the team did not attain
much success, they did manage to beat
Centenary College, allowing them to win their
first game in two years. Two teammates also
achieved honors. Junior midfielder Tina Hite
received the All-MAC Award and offensive
MVP, and Sara Friedrick received the
defensive MVP. Coached by Tim Barrera, the
girls pulled together by working hard and by
maintaining a positive attitude throughout
the season giving the team a season of 2-13.

The consensus
of the girls'
volleyball team?
There's room
for improvement!
Although
"struggle"
characterized
the season, the
girls managed to win seven of the twentyfour matches. They also received second
place in the Luzerne County Recreational
Tournament, and they beat King's College in
one regular season game with a score of 1510. Team member Wendy O'Conner views
her team's position with optimism, "The
good thing about being at the bottom now
means that we can build up a strong new
program in the next two years."

�Det~rmined to Fight
"We may be the
smallest Division I
but it's not the size
of the dog in the
fight, it's the size of
the fight in the dog"
contends Junior
Barry Van Scoten,
aptly describing his
teammates 'wrestling
season. Coached by John Reese and Al Zellner, the ten
wrestlers confronted such impediments as lack of depth
and occurrence of injuries. The determined team,
however, did not allow these obstacles to hinder them
from achieving success. The Colonels won the Wilkes
Duals Tournament for the second consecutive year,
defeating Carson-Newman, Coppin State, Central
Connecticut State, and Seton Hall. With the assistance
of these four wins, Coach Reese attained his 500th,
ranking him second with the most wins in wrestling
history. VanScoten, hailingfromEaston, Pennsylvanis,
won the fourth annual Wilkes Open and the fourth
Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association with a 229 record. Although the members viewed the season of
10-13 as less-than-spectacular, they optimistically
agree that the 1994 -95 season will be a big
improvement.

�lntensity &amp; Energy Prevail
In a season
plagued by
injuries, the
Lady Colonels
played with an
intensity and
energy that was
unrivaled. Their
8-15 season
record (5-9 in the Mac Freedom League) can't
come close to reflecting the energy that each
team member put forth.
Lee Ann Azarewicz and Michelle Shaffer
led the team in points per game and along with
Jamie Land, earned various accolades,
including Colonel of the Week. Coach Haag
was proud of the Lady Colonels, "Though we
faced a lot of adversity, our players were able
to put the "big picture" in mind, and worked
hard to improve every day."

"I want that ball!"

Freedom League.
Stand-out players,
including Bill Noone, Kevin Gryboski, Steve

�Determination Pays off
A little
teamwork and
determination
went a long way
for the women's
softball team as
they concluded
the season with
an impressive
overall 1 7 -6 record.
In the MAC playoffs, the team played well
against Messiah, losing, however, in 13
innings 4-5. All in all, "it was the year to break
records," exclaims Coach Malatesta, who
retires after this season. Several team players
also achieved individual success. Amy
Rosengrant, Stacey Boyer, and Sandie Warntz
received all-MAC players; Sue Moran tripled
for one season (6); Stephanie Hastings and
Warntz had the most hits in one game (5); and
Warntz finished her career with 265 AB, 108
hits, 19 doubles, and 11 triples. Stacey Boyer
best expresses her reflection on the season:
"This year things finally fell into placeeverybody played to their potential. I wished
it wouldn't have ended."

�Cross Country
Despite lack of participation on the men's team and absence of a women's team, the few members, coached by Tom
McGuire, illustrated dedication and determination throughout the cross-country season. Although the team was not
qualified to score in all of the meets, they did render accomplishments. Brad Smith and captain Jeff Crahalla won awards
for placing seventh and tenth respectively in the Drew Invitational.
Team members Crahalla, Smith, Lou Marnell, and Ben Miller achieved their best time at the Lebanon Valley Invitational
with 29:49, 30:49, 35:45, and 35:53 respectively. The cross-country team concluded its season with a 0-1 record. Crahalla
hopes that more people join the team in the 1994-95 season "for the benefit of the coaching as well as [for I the few dedicated
team members wo continued to persevere throughout the cross-country season."

Gibson "The squad was the best ever." The team achieved Best Chant, Most

affecting students at Wilkes. It is probably the
most recognized organization on campus and also
provides funds for other clubs and organizations.
The members also organize all major campus
social events such as Homecoming, Winter
Weekend, and Casino Night. This year, they also
sponsored a face painting stand at the Cherry
Blossom Festival.
Dianne Rizzuto, Kathy Zoka, and Wayne McDonnell set up their table for the Cherry

�May 1994
To The Graduating Class of 1994:
Your class has witnessed more change at Wilkes University than any since those
immediately following the 1972 flood. We want you to continue your interest in your
Alma Mater. A University represents a strong bond among the alumni, those
students presently in residence, and those who will be students in the future. All
have the interests of the University in common. As Wilkes goes from strength to
strength, each of the three groups will benefit-- the alumni by the enhanced
reputation of their University, the present students from the improved education,
and the future students from the enhanced opportunities Wilkes will offer them. We
are terribly proud of you. We want you to be proud of Wilkes. As you carry your
education into the world and achieve the many kinds of success that will be yours,
remember Wilkes University. We need you to help recruit future students, to spread
far the fame of Wilke's fair name, and to provide financial support so that Wilkes can
keep improving. Your marriage with Wilkes needs to be for life. We are eager to see
you when you come home to Wilkes. From all of us who are continuing at your Alma
Mater, our best wishes for a purposeful and successful future as well-prepared
graduates of Wilkes University.

�Senior Picnic
On Tuesday, May 24th, Ralston field
became a picnic ground as the class of
1994 came together one last time for
the annual Senior Picnic. A highlight of
Senior Week, the picnic was a chance
for graduating seniors and faculty to
enjoy the afternoon of food, sun and
games. Under a beautiful sky, seniors
overlooked this year's graduation site.
It was the perfect forshadowing of the
ceremony to come.

�Senior Dinner Dance

On Thursday, May 26th, graduates
donned their best attire to attend the
Senior Dinner dance at the Woodlands.
The event, a chance to wear something
other than jeans, was one final occasion
to spend with the friends each graduate
has made over the past four years. After
dinner, the graduates and attending
faculty headed to the dance floor as a
D.J. played songs that appealed to all.
Lasting from 6pm to 1am, the evening
was full of new-found enjoyment and
never-ending memories.

�Commencement
At one of the first outdoor commencements in years,
the class of 1994 graduated under blue skies and full
sun at Ralston Field. The graduates began the
ceremony by passing through an honor guard formed
by their professore before proceeding to the field.
Once all the graduates and faculty were seated and
welcoming remarks given, the spirit of the class
appeared on stage in the person of Colonel Bob,
whose levity shone through as he "tripped" to the
stage to deliver his remarks. The highlight of the
ceremony for each of the graduates however, came
when the degrees were finally distributed. Keynote
speaker Dr. Katherine DeAngelis, herself a Wilkes
graduate, perhaps stated the class of 1994's
accomplishments best when she stated that "You
can do anything you want, if you want it badly
enough."

Chris Boring

strength I have. Within
this I have persued my
educational goals with
enthusiasm and pride."
Leeanne Carabetta

ideas and to meet new
people. My fours years at
Wilkes have been years
of experiencing new
ideas as well as sharing
my own." Alison Adomiak

"Attending Wilkes has
broadened my horizons
both academically and
socially by exposing me to
a well balanced liberal
arts education as well as

��Rich in History
Wilkes University is steeped in history. Not only are several
of its buildings on both the Pennsylvania and National Registers
of Historic Places, but the neighborhood is a designated historic
district.
Wilkes-Barre was originally laid out in 1770 by Admiral John Durkee.
The city was to be bound on the west by the Susquehanna river, on the
south by South St., on the north by North St., and the east by Pennsylvania
Blvd. Since then, the city has grown well beyond its boundaries. The Wilkes
area was dotted with cabins, taverns , and hotels along the riverfront
property.
When men like Jacob Cist and Jesse Fell, among others, proved that
coal was good for heat and it was in abundance in the valley, the "coal rush"
hit the quiet valley in the 1840's. Immigrants from Europe converged on the
mountains, working hard to make their fortune in the black gold. They
brought with them their many-faceted culture and way of life.
Mr. Frederick Chase, President of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company,
Mr. Charles Parrish, coal mining figure, Atty. Andrew Todd McClintock, and
Frederick J. Weckesser, of the F.W. Woolworth empire are just a few of the
wealthy families who chose to build homes on the Susquehanna riverfront in
Wilkes-Barre. They commissioned famous architects and builders from New
York and Philadelphia for the task, adding to the many faces of architecture
in the area.
A need for higher education was recognized and Bucknell Jr. College
began holding classes in 1933. The first classes at the two year school were
held in rooms rented from the Wilkes-Barre Business College on
Northampton St. Previously, the Wyoming Valley was perhaps one of the
most densely populated areas in the country without such an institution.
Many of the wealthy families who built their homes in the area,
donated them to the school as the coal rush slowed and they sought more
rural surroundings. Admiral and Mrs. Harold Stark were the first to donate
their home to the fledgling school in 1937. By 1947, and 10 buildings later,
the school became a chartered four year college, the first school of its kind
in the Wyoming Valley. Some of the families who donated to the school were
members of the Board of Trustees and life-long friends of the College.
Wilkes College was named after American patriot John Wilkes.
Wilkes is personally responsible for three American rights: the right to free
press, the right of electors to choose representatives without dictation from
any authority, and freedom from arrest without cause.
The Wyoming Valley and Wilkes have come a long way since its
humble beginnings. In 1990, Wilkes achieved University status. It has
acquired many more facets since then, just like a diamond, and continues to
increase in clarity as time goes on.

John Wilkes, for whom both Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes University
were named, is a very important part of American history, even though he
never set foot in the new world.
Born on October 17, 1727, the son of an English malt distiller,
Wilkes was one of the upper class. He began his education at a private
school at Hertford.
He went on to the University of Leyden in 1744, where he remained for only about two years.
Upon returning to England Wilkes entered several societies and
confraternities like the Medmenham Abby.
He was also not known for keeping quiet when things did not
please him. He began voicing his dislike in one such instance for the
foreign policy of one Lord Bute. He circulated an anonymous pamphlet
called, "Observations on the Papers relative to the Rupture with Spain laid
before both Houses of Parliament on Jan. 29 of 1762."
Wilkes went on to fill public office and defend the rights of man.
Supporters say he is responsible for three fundamental American rights,
freedom from arbitrary arrest, freedom of the press, and the rights of
electors to choose their representatives without dictation from authority.

year 1993 will stand
out in many people's minds
for many reasons. The Amnicola staff chose Wilkes's
60th anniversary as the
event that best symbolized
the 1992-1993 school year.
The 60th anniversary
is traditionally known as the
diamond anniversary. Diamonds are formed when the
earth exerts great pressure
on coal over a long period of
time. Since Wilkes has
most of its roots in coal, it is
only fitting that as time goes
on and changes take place,
it has formed into a diamond. Hence, our theme,
"The Emerging Diamond."
The longer a diamond
takes to form, the more
beautiful and flawless it is,
and the more it is worth.
This process parallels the
process Wilkes has undergone since its formation as
Bucknell Jr. College and
continues to go through with
its attainment of Universtiy
status and its plans for future growth and change.
Wilkes also resembles
a diamond in its many facets, or faces. The Amnicola
staff hopes to have covered
as many of these facets as
possible to capture the
beauty of the University's
diversity.
In this book we hope
to combine Wilkes's past, in
coal, with the present, the
emerging diamond, and the
future as a diamond to celebrate 60 years in operation.

The Blue Coal Co. pictured
below is just one of the many coal
mines that gave birth to and
supported much of the Wyoming
Valley into the 20th century.
Even though remnants of the
coal rush are everywhere, it's easy
sometimes to forget the men,
women, and children who gave their
sweat, tears, and sometimes lives to
the mines.
These lives are just as
important to the birth of Wilkes as
any other because, it is these
people's children for whom the
school was built. They are the
beginning of the chain that
transformed the coal region and
Wilkes into the growing community
and University that they are today.
Since the end of the coal
rush, a lot of land that once thrived
with activity now sits idle. This land
was once the very source of life for
the Wyoming Valley.
In an effort to make the land
useable again, and bring new life
into the Wyoming Valley, Wilkes, in
conjunction with Congressman Paul
Kanjorski, formed the Earth
Conservancy. The
Conservancy desires to take
the land of the old Blue Coal
Mine that includes the Blue
Coal Co, and build a center
for developing water jet
technologies. If their plan
works, Wilkes will be
transforming a waste land to
a source of income and
employment for the Wyoming
Valley.

of nearly pure carbon, but have many extraordinary
qualities.
A diamond is the hardest surface known to man, and can
only be cut by another diamond. This enduring quality makes it a
symbol for longevity and purpose that makes it a perfect symbol
for Wilkes. The school has emerged from many tests of its
strength and character with improved clarity of mission and purpose.
The cut of the diamond is very important. Uncut diamonds
resemble clear stones. What makes a diamond beautiful is caring
hands that mold it and shape it into a thing of beauty. Each bf
these facets reflects its own light, and all facets work together to
make the diamond beautiful.
Even though it is tough, the diamond retains incredible
beauty. When a diamond is cut, it has unique abilities to reflect
light brilliantly.
A diamond comes from coal, after hundreds of thousands
of years of compression. It is the only gem mineral composed of a
single unadulterated element, making it the purest of the earth's
gemstones. Some speculate that today's coal veins are, in a
couple of hundered thousand years going to be diamond mines.
It is this transition from something as useful as coal to a
brilliant diamond that makes it so unique. In much the same way,
Wilkes University has emerged from the coal industry that laid the
groundwork for the school 60 years ago.

�Built on History
The Wilkes University campus is indebted to the coal industry. Most of the buildings
that are on the University grounds were built by wealthy families who came to the the
Wyoming Valley during the "coal rush" in the mid-1800's. Merchants and coal barons'
families later donated or sold their mansions to the University.
Theses families employed famous New York and Philadelphia architects and builders to design the
homes, resulting in the many facets and timeless beauty of architecture in the Wilkes area. Many homes
are on both the National and Pennsylvania Historic Registers, and the riverfront neighborhood is a
Designated Historic District.
The styles of architects such as Innes and Levy, Bruce Price, Edmund B. Gilchrist, Frederick
Withers and William Neuer are represented in campus buildings.
The collection of different kinds of architecture is only one example of how rare and valuable
Wilkes is. For example, the oldest houses on campus, Catlin, Sturdevant and McClintock Halls, were
built in the Greek Revival style. Sterling and Butler Halls are prime examples of the Italianate style, while
the dominant style in the area, Queen Anne, is exemplified by Weiss, Kirby, Barre, Delaware, and Chesapeake Halls.
The city of Wilkes-Barre was laid
out by Major John Durkee under a charter
from the Susquehanna Company in 1770.
A drawing was held in 1772 to divide each
of the 48 lots between the mostly
Connecticut immigrants to the area.
Many of these lots have historical
significance in the formation of WilkesBarre, and the State of Pennsylvania. For
example, President Theodore Roosevelt
once gave a speech on the River
Commons, a tavern once stood where the
Alumni House does, and in the summer of
1797, the Duke of Orleans, who later
became Louis Philippe, King of France
supposedly stayed there after visiting a
Built in 1841, Mcclintock Hall
(above) is the oldest home on campus. It
was donated in 1951 by Atty. Gilbert
McClintock, a friend and advisor of the
school. Now a residence hall, the home is on
both the Pennsylvania and National Registry
of Historic Places.
Weckesser Hall (right) was built in
1914 by architect Charles Gilbert in the
Beaux Arts style. Frederick Weckesser,
member of the executive committee of F.W.
Woolworth Company gave the mansion to
Wilkes College in 1956.

�irby Hall was built in 1873 and given to
Bucknell University Junior College in
1941 to become the fourth building on
campus. The mansion, a prime example of High Victorian Style architecture, was built by
an architect named Frederick Clark Withers. The
building even made the cover of American Architectural News in December of 1876. The home is on both
the National Register of Historic Places and the Pennsylvania register.
Renovations on the building began this fall.
Once a classroom, the salon has been restored clo$e
to its original splendor with a new floor and period
furnishings. The room will now be used as a faculty
seminar and meeting room. The entrance hall and
parlor are scheduled for renovations later this year.
More interesting than the building itself,
however, is the land it stands upon. The lot itself was
#1 in the 1770 Town plan. Jabez Sill's cabin, the
second home in Wilkes-Barre, stood on the lot.
In the 1880's Judge Rosewell Welles bought
the property and erected a home that became a social
center for Wilkes-Barre. Welles died in 1831, and
ownership of the lot changed hands several times.
Stephen Thurlow bought the land and built what
we know as Kirby Hall in 1873. The family, while
traveling through France, discovered an artist,
Mademoiselle Juliette Gambaro. They brought
Mademoiselle Gambaro to Wilkes-Barre, and some
say she brought culture to the children of the city. She
taught music, painting, language and other arts to local
children. She used her pupils as models for the
cherubs popular in her murals such as those found in
Kirby Hall's dining room and in Weckesser Hall.
The home was sold in 1880 and again changed
hands several times until F. M. Kirby, one of the founders of the F.W. Woolworth Company, bought it in
1905. Stories say in the 1920's, Kirby heard they were
building a bridge at the narrowest part of the river,
which was right in front of his
house. He didn't want a bridge in
his front yard, so he bought all the
land on the other side of the river so
no bridge could be built. As a
result, the Market St. bridge is on
Market St. instead of South St. Mr.
Kirby gave the land to the city and
set up a trust fund for maintenance
of it.
Bucknell Jr. College used the
home as a library; as the school
grew, it was changed into classrooms and offices. It now houses
the English and Foreign Language
Departments.

French refugee settlement just north of WilkesBarre. Congressmen, judges, merchants,
governors, and legislators built their homes in
the resort area in the 1880's.
Wilkes-Barre has since grown far
beyond the original boundaries, but Wilkes
buildings remain on original lot sites. Before
homes were built, it was a merchant district
with taverns, hotels, shops and warehouses on
the riverfront.
The river common, across from Stark
Learning Center was, according to the original
plan, designated for use by all residents. The
area has as much history as any one of the
campus buildings. It remains a park to this day
and is occasionally used for picnics,
celebrations, and a place to enjoy the open
space.
The dike itself has been rebuilt several
times in an effort to protect the homes from
floods. The elm trees that line the riverbank
were planted in the mid 1800's in an attempt to
prevent erosion of the dikes. This did not save
many of the great homes that once stood
before the floods of early 1900's and 1972.
Wilkes's buildings were built with money
made from coal mining, in an area where coal
was once king. Students who walk the paths
of the University today should know that it is
the coal industry that initally formed the many
facets of our campus.

Stephanie Hastings and Colonel Bob help to relax the
blood donors.

Many students came to help out the Red Cross by giving
blood. Some students were first timers while others lengthened
their blood donating record.

In the spirit of the age-old cross-town tradition, Wilkes beat King's by 17 units of blood this past
February in a blood drive sponsored by the American Red Cross and Health Services.
Turnouts at previous drives were so-so, but when the idea of a trophy for the school that donated the
most was revived, students rushed to the gym with their sleeves up.
In 1989, First Eastern Bank donated a trophy to the school that donated the most blood. King's
triumphed each time. Eventually students lost interest and the trophy collected dust at King's.
This year, through negotiations between the schools, the competition was revived. Wilkes won, 177
units to King's 165.
Other blood drives were held October 8, when 142 units were collected, and April 29. All three blood
drives had a tremendous turnout.
For each of the blood drives, local businesses continued to donate gifts and gift certificates for free
dinners and shows.

Students spent the first week of November concentrating on improving the world
around them. As a part of the, "Into the Streets" program, campus clubs and organizations
got together and did their share for the community.
Many of the students, however, were already involved in improving the
neighborhood. The Biology Club, for example, adopted a section of the Cross Valley
Expressway near River Street. They are in charge of keeping it free from garbage yearround. For clubs like this, the, "Into the Streets" program highlighted their day-to-day
efforts to improve their world.
Other students who weren't a part of any particular organization that planned an
event for "Into the Streets," or who weren't regular volunteers, helped out for the day at
places like the St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen. Other students gathered in Stark Lobby
early Saturday morning and left equipped with garbage bags to clean up the Wilkes
neighborhood.

At the end of April the Department of Music, Theater, and Dance
presented an adapted version of the Shakespearean play A
Midsummer Night's Dream. Directed by John Swanson, assistant professor of
theater at Wilkes, this interpretation created a unique twist to the classic story about
love .. With "medieval" fairies on rollerblades, other actors in Athenian costume and
steel pipe architecture in the background, the production crews created a feeling of
timelessness in the setting. The use of laser-like lights and smoke screens were
wonderful special effects which added to the scenery.
And what's a play without actors? The cast contained a number of
exceptionally talented individuals. Especially good were performances by Bruce
Chistian and Carol Kerdock as lovers Lysander and Hermia. Jamie Kurtz and Amy
Kahanowitz were also quite comical as Demetrius and Helena.
The two males were put under a love spell by a fairy named Puck after a
mistake in identities. However, the characters later turned to whom they were meant
to be with after Puck reversed the spell.
The play itself contained even more comical scenes, some of which take place
as the audience sees a group of actors traveling throughout the forest on their way to
Athens. Here a star emerged in Eric Riviera, who played the role of Bottom. The
great animation that Riviera put forth brought extraordinary life to his character.
The only negative point of the show was that some of the actors and
actresses, especially the younger ones, had a tendency to talk too fast. In general,
though, this performance was an enjoyable one for all who attended.

Hermia, played byCarol Kerdock, tried desperately to win the love of Demetrius, Jamie Kurtz.

�Anyone who ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a play got
their questions answered in October. "Noises Off!" takes the audience on a hilarious
journey into the world of theater from the front to the back of the stage.
"Noises Off!" is acually a play within a play. Act one begins with actors on
stage during a rehearsal for the play, "Noting On," and show, in a very funny way,
how things can go wrong at a typical dress rehearsal.
Act two takes the audience backstage to the personal relationships among the
actors, and the comedy of it. Just when everything seems to be going right for this
hysterical troupe, the scene changes back to the stage.
The personal strife comes to a head backstage, and during a performance
later in the tour, one show falls completely apart as life backstage and life onstage for
the actors clash and crumble.
This British-written comedy was presented from the October 15 -18, and was
directed by Theater Director, Brad Wright.

�It's a Greek tragedy that posesses all of the pure conventions. Hero
tries to avoid his destiny, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't get
away from the wishes of the gods.
The Wilkes-Barre Artistic Theater Ensemble (WBATE) performed,
"Oedipus Rex," by Sophocles, their first production, at the Dorothy Dickson
Darte Center for the Performing Arts from September 17-20.
Jack Evans played Oedipus as he tried to solve the problems of his
people, and eventually kills himself in agony after he finds he is the cause
of the suffering. His wife, Jocasta, played by Rebecca Schmitt, commits
suicide when she finds that the father of her children and second husband
is also her first born son.
Sticking to many of the conventions of the Greek theater, such as a
bare stage and a chorus, this show was a mix of Wilkes students and
members of the community.
Wilkes alumnus, Dave Shock was lighting designer and acted as
Tiresias, the blind prophet that holds the key to the secrets of Oedipus's
life.
Wilkes students like Jennifer Nyman, an art major, Tom Jarmioloski,
a theater major, Camille Clark, an international studies major, Tracy
Youells, an English major, and Karen Jordan, an English/psychology
major, acted in and provided technical support for the show.
The show was sponsored by the Manuscript Society and Cue n'
Curtain. WBATE, a non-profit organization, hopes to bring more plays to
the stage in the future.

The Moody Blues said they enjoy playing at colleges and universities
since, according to bassist, John Ludge, "it was the college kids who made
us famous in the '60's and they are still buying and listening to our albums in
the '90's. We really owe a lot of our success to them"
Chicago finally took the stage, and, as always, was full of energy and
vibrance. They opened their set with favorites like, "Color My World,"
"You're the Inspiration," and "Hard Habit to Break." The whole concert was
full of the band's number one hits.
Chicago used some of their time in the concert to urge the crowd to,
"Rock the Vote." Like many other musicians, they told the crowd that it was
important to vote in elections if they wanted to see a change.
The crowd's energy added to the success of the concert. Even those
who weren't die hard fans of the two groups enjoyed themselves.
"I didn't know a lot of their songs, but I thought they were really
great," commented Cindy Charnetski, a senior at Wyoming Valley West
High School, after the concert.
This concert proved Chicago and The Moody Blues have stood the
test of time and don't plan on quitting any time soon. The concert was
outstanding, and anyone who was in the audience would quickly agree.

AIDS
Stark Lobby was transformed into an Al OS education
center to observe World Al OS Day. On December 1, the school
and local community came together to teach each other about
the dangers of AIDS, and how to protect themselves with a series
of displays and lectures.
The Education Club, Biology Club, Wyoming Valley AIDS
Council, Caremark Homecare, and other organizations displayed
posters and set up tables with different activities and information
to help students realize the importance of AIDS education.
Clubs like Political Science and Nursing handed out red
ribbons, the national symbol of AIDS awareness, and pamphlets.
The Education and Biology Clubs displayed the results of studies
they did in AIDS education in schools, and talked about the
biology of the disease. The Sociology Club had a quiz game
asking AIDS related questions while Cue n' Curtain, the Theater
Club, gave out red dots to students to represent the number of
people infected with HIV. Anyone with a red dot was, "infected"
for a day.
The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Association (LGBA)
handed out condoms to promote safe sex. That promotion of safe
sex, however, kept people of some religious beliefs away from
the school on Tuesday.
All area high schools and the general public were invited
to attend, but the Catholic Diocese of Scranton said that while
AIDS education is important, the promotion of safe sex went
against their moral teachings, and parochial schools did not
attend.
Senior Dave Wheeler said, "without AIDS education, you
are forced to make an informed decision from myths and little bits
of information, and you can't fight an enemy you don't know."
Diane O'Brien, Coordinator of Health Services, says there
is no information available that tells if anyone at Wilkes is infected with HIV. O'Brien says this is because the Pennsylvania
Department of Health keeps the names of those infected in deep
confidence. Only those tested learn the results.

Forum at the Darte

Questions about core requirements,

were among some issues faced at an Open
Forum on November 12. Other questions
and comments were raised about better
facilities for handicapped students, books
being at the bookstore on time, and dropping
the foreign language requirement from the
core.
A popular question was dealing with
the new core requirements, seniors being
especially concerned. President Christopher
Breiseth feels the new core is an overall
success for the school, giving each
department more power over its students'
educations.
Dean Lampe-Groh and Director of
Campus Support Services John Pesta
announced they have been working with
security on a list of places that needs better
lighting on campus, easing many students of
the recent "jumpings which occurred.
On the lighter side, one student asked
about the, "covert operations on condoms" at
the Health Services Office. The student
complained that when students ask for
condoms at the office, the woman who gives
them out is embarrassed, and gives out only
three at a time. Betty Kwack of Health
Services said the woman is only trying to
prevent embarrassment for the student, and if
asked for, more condoms will be given out.
"They just go so fast," Kwack added.

trikes Back/

The blizzard of 1993 came and went but the more than one
foot of snow that blanketed the campus on March 13 will not be
forgotten soon.
The Wyoming Valley was in a state of emergency for more
than two days. Dorm students used trash cans and cafeteria trays
to dig out their cars. Whomever got their car out first was
immediately in his or her way to Price Chopper, the only store
open, to buy shovels. ABM tried to beat the snow, and keep paths
clear for students, but many students still trudged through knee
----------deep snow to get dinner at the cafeteria that Saturday evening.
The snow was eventually shoveled into mountains all over
campus and melted quickly. Too quickly, however, for the banks
of the Susquehanna. Old and not-so-old timers reminisced about
the flood of 1972 as they watched the water rise up over the dikes
f
in many low-lying areas. Students rafted through Kirby Park,
because the water was so deep, and took lots of pictures to send
home. Everyone kept an eye on the river and some even took
bets as to the crest and if there would be a flood or not.
Luckily, the Susquehanna crested just below the top of the
dikes, but it was enough of a scare to people who had never seen
anything like it, to remind them of the power of mother nature.

Tuesday October 27, as they waited for Hillary
Rodham Clinton to arrive. Then, however, she was
only the wife of the Govenor of Arkansas, not the
First Lady.
Area politicians also tried their hand at
entertaining the standing room only crowd, but it
only served to get them more excited. Before long a
lady appeared on the wings, despite the fact that it
was her birthday and she was exhausted from a
tiring campaign schedule, she went on.
Not only an eloquent speaker, Clinton is one
of the top 100 lawyers in the country according to
The National Law Journal, and a champion for the
rights of children.
She began her speech by urging the crowd,
to have the courage to change," much the same
way President John F. Kennedy did from the same
stage some 32 years earlier. She explained her
husband's platform while blasting the current
government policies.
She told the crowd she felt at home, because
her father was raised in Scranton. She ended her
speech by asking the crowd to read Bill Clinton and
Al Gore's book, Putting People First, that outlines
their plan for the country in detail. She said, "You
don't have to read Bill's and Al's lips. Read their

increased in record numbers across the nation this year.
lt seems that students have been angry over the past
four years," Kennedy said. 'They (students) have been finding
out how to and where to register so they can vote in the
uncoming election," Kennedy stated.
When Kennedy talked about
Clinton's recognition of problems in
America's health care policies, she
was answered by tremendous _
applause. Next, Kennedy talked
about Clinton's feelings on education.
"Today, our schools aren't safe.
Clinton would like to make our schools
safe again so children can go back to
learning reading, writing and
arithmetic, not in fear of their lives.

of more than 60 singers from the university comunity,
began their program with "Zigeunerleben" by Robert
Schumann followed by another 19th German

Next on the program was "The Sheperd's
Chorus" from Amahl and the Night Visitors, a holiday
favorite by Menotti. Other selections included pieces
by Vaughan Williams, Randall Thompson, and

The only comedy (and I use the word loosely) I might have heard that night came from Gary

it was not much better than Burke's presentation. Valentine's voice was so loud that he appeared to be
screaming the whole time. He also seemed overly vulgar, although, fortunately, not quite as much as
Burke.
Some people found the 'comedians' amusing and did enjoy the performances. I was not one of
them. If Burke and Valentine do return to Wilkes next year, there's one show I'll want to miss.

in stand-up comedy and has appeared throughout the East Coast and Canada. He has
made numerous television appearances, including Comedy Central's Short Attention

�ATHLETES IN

The Riverside Rumble, the 1OK National Wheelchair Championship and one of the first wheelchair-only road races, took place on Sunday, October 11 in Wilkes-Barre and Kingston and I featured top athletes
from around the country.
Some you may recognize include, Mark Cassarella (shown right),
Wilkes student; Craig Blanchette, Nike commercial star; and Peter
DeCleva for Diamond Crystal. These racers as well as David Birch, Forty
Fort; Denise Filippini, Larksville; and David Bartnick, Mountaintop, all
from the Heinz Senators team, are expected to join the top racers in the
country for a cut of the prize rnoney.
The Rumble is sanctioned by the Wheelchair Athletics of the
United States of America (WAUSA) and the Athletics Congress (TAC).
National championship status was granted by the Long Distance Road
Racing Committee of WAUSA.
In addition to the prestige of the national championship, more than
$42,000 in prize money and travel stipends was awarded. The top
overall finisher received the Diamond Crystal Award of Excellence,
sponsored by Diamond Crystal, a division of Akzo Salt Inc., Clarks
Summit.
The race was sponsored by Allied Services, a not-for-profit
healthcare organization, and its John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation
Medicine, Wilkes-Barre Township. Primary co-sponsors were Akzo Salt
Inc., WYOU-TV 22 and the Sunday Independent. Numerous businesses
and individuals have contributed money, services and volunteers which
made this event a success.
-Stacy Heck
Diversity Week at Wilkes included an
international food tasting day. Students
of various nationalities showed up
providing foods from different countries ,
allowing everyone to try something
different.

Students and staff come together in an
effort to help the homeless people of
Wilkes-Barre.

�The Volunteers In
Service In Our Neighborhood (VISION) program
used Dennison Hall from
October 5 through October
11 to provide shelter and
meals for adult men and
women in our community.
Inter-Residence Hall
Council (IRHC) sponsored
the program. In addition to
' heading the program at
· Wilkes, the club recruited
students to pledge meals.
The 175 meals that were
pledged went to feeding
people at the program.
Dennison Hall
provided shelter to 25
,. people per night. The hall
was open from 6:30 pm to
7:45 am.
Karen Gerlach,
\ treasure of IRHC , said ,
,;;
, ''The student response was
great."
'
Not only were the
;c members of IRHC involved,
. ·. but the members of many
other clubs volunteered as
well.
This did not only
provide a great service to
the homeless, but "provided students with a better
awareness of the homeless
situation in the area ,
"stated Mark Allen , Associate Dean of Student Affairs.

��PUBLICATIONS
Stop the presses!

Amnicola

It's nearly impossible to spend a
day on campus and not see a copy of one
of our student publications. The Beacon,
our student newspaper, is a weekly report
of events and issues on campus that
affect students and alumni. The
Manuscript is our literary magazine. It
provides the students and faculty with a
place to express their creative voices in
poetry, prose, drama and art. The
Amnicola, which is latin for "one who
dwells by the river," is our yearbook that
is a summary of the events and memories
of the whole year.
These three publications are
governed by a Publications Committee,
but aren't the only things published at
Wilkes. Clubs and organizations have
their own newsletters and flyers. All of
the main publications are made up of
students from all majors, making them
different from many other organizations,
and some say more fun to be a part of.
Their job is to keep everyone abreast of
the latest news, writing, and to collect
memories.

Row 1: Tracy Berardi, Traci Coulter,

Art and theatre clubs
While many students stick to professional
associations on campus, some venture out and into clubs
like Cuen' Curtain, the theater club, and the Art and
Design Association. Acutally many of these clubs serve
as professional associations for some students, but the
participatory nature of these organizations attracts from
other disciplines.
For example, Cuen' Curtain helps the Theater
Department with all of its shows as well as producing a
show of its own. The students work long and hard producing, directing, designing, and performing their own
production. Other than the ususal fund raising activities,
Cuen' Curtain hosts the Alfie Awards each year for
anyone who participated in any of the productions that
year.
The Art and Design Association regularly
sponsors trips to museums in Philadelphia and New
York, as well as raise funds for the Art Department
through activities like bake sales and sidewalk sketch
contests.

�Nursing Student Organization

Pre-:

Academic clubs
Although there are many clubs for students,
some clubs are more career oriented than others.
These academic clubs such as Lamda Pi Eta, the
biology club, M.E.N.C., the education club, and
International Association of Business
Communicators, provide a chance for students to
meet with others who share the same professional
interests.
Another advantage is getting to know
professors outside the classroom, and learning from
their experiences in the professional world. There
are about 15 such clubs on campus and they all
sponsor a wide variety of speakers, activities, and
seminars to get students involved with issues in
their particular field. These clubs, however, aren't
just for people all of the same major; everyone is
invited to learn about other professions.

DORM LIFE
Dorm Life at Wilkes proved to be
another fun and exciting adventure for
residents. Besides the usual late night
pizza deliveries, occasional fire alarm,
and random dorm damages, some dorms
found ways to pass the time between
classes and studying constructively.
Dave Unzicker of Roosevelt
Hall, and Dave Kashak of Diaz, both
resident assistants, got their halls
together for a game of tackle football in
the fall. The men of Roosevelt won by a
single touchdown.
On another part of campus,
students were toe-tappin' to the beat of a
different drummer. Gail Humphrey
invited a dance instructor to McClintock
Hall to teach the girls country and
western dancing. Everyone said it was a
real ho-down!
Other dorms, however, opted for
less athletic pursuits, and had fun
cooking, and, of course, eating. The guys
at Warner Hall chipped in and threw a
"pasta party." They made many different
kinds of pasta and enjoyed every bite!
Sullivan Hall hosted a barbecue of hot
dogs and hamburgers to celebrate spring.
Pizza parties, however, were much more
popular in the residence halls.
Of course, a year wouldn't be
complete without the usual pranks
residents play on each other. Super
soaker water guns were aimed at
innocent passerbys from the third floor of
Pickering Hall. When there was no one
left to shoot, phone tag became the rage.
Upper classmen and women would call
the pay phone in the hall from the phone
in their rooms to watch Freshmen run to
the phone only to get a dial tone.
There were no hard feelings, and
everyone will remember what a great
time they had living on campus at
Wilkes.

On the road again...
When most people hear the word college, they usually associate it with being away from home and living in a dorm.
There is, however, another side to college life called commuting. In fact, more than half of the students at Wilkes are
commuters!
Many of them are as involved in campus life as the dorm students are, but the difference is, the commuters can drive
home at the end of the day. Many times, both commuters and dorms students "hang out," in places like Stark Lobby and
the SUB.
The Commuter Council deals with issues facing commuters, like parking, and tries to keep the commuters involved
in campus life. Many events, like the Halloween Dance are co-sponsored by the Commuter Council and the Inter-Residence
Hall Council. The groups also have an annual trip to New York City, where one way tickets are available for any dorm
students who want to go home for Thanksgiving Break.
This club gives commuters a chance to meet others like themselves and become more involved in college life while
still enjoying the benefits of home cooked meals and their: own bed each night.
A new parking committee was formed this year so students and administration can work together to solve the
parking problems. The LCTA tried to help out with bus service to a satellite parking lot at Ralston Feild, but the program
was cancelled due to lack of interest. Plans to create more parking are in the works, however, and it's just a matter of time
before everyone can drive to school, and park too.
--Kim Escarge and Wendy Raughley

Many commuters, such as Diane Kolbeck, Kim Zackoski, and Kristen Collins, can be found
enjoying lunch in the SUB.

�APARTMENT LIVING
When commuting isn't an option, and
dorm life cramps your style, many students rent
an apartment.
From Ross Street to South Street, Wilkes
students make their apartments home, at least for
the eight months they are at school.
"Apartment life is great, you don't have
to deal with parents or RA's," explained one
renter from South Street. "Being the center of
campus social life isn't necessarily all it's
cracked up to be, instead, you have to deal with a
landlord and neighbors," she went on to say.
If they choose to rent alone or live with
roommates, students love their homes, for some
of them it's their first taste of life on their own.
These apartments, however, are
sometimes more of a home to the people who
regularly party there than the student that pays the
rent.
These students recently formed an Off
Campus Council (OCC). Like the Commuter
Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council, the
OCC helps students cope with day to day
problems, especially neighbors.
The OCC sponsors activites to show the
neighbors that college students aren't just loud
partiers, but people who care about the
community they live in. They helped clean up the
neighborhood this year during the 'Into the
Streets' program, as well as helped the IRHC and
CC with Halloween parties, and fruit basket
programs.

Since 1966, Dr. Patricia Heaman, chariperson of the English department,
has watched Wilkes emerge from a college to the Universtiy it is today.
She said she has seen many changes in her department, and the school as a
whole has changed a great deal also. She explained, "the rough edges have
been smoothed as time passes, and the value that was always at the core of
a Wilkes education-strong liberal arts and science programs- has remained
intact."
In the future, she says Wilkes will get even better. The English
department is looking into a writing progran1, a writer in residence, an
honor society, more core options and more extra-carricular activities, like
the lecture in the fall by Norman Mailer.

John Lindgren, the University Librarian, feels that the diamond is an
interesting metaphor when applied to Wilkes. He says the, "University's
durability and luster flourishes in direct proportion to its rediness to be
tested by the fires and pressures of conflicting ideas, beliefs, and values."
Mr. Lindgren has seen some growth in the library, it is becoming a
bigger part of life on campus with all of the new technology that increases
students' access to information and knowlege, and more and more students
are being taught in classes the value of and how to use the library.
In the future he sees technology taking over and access to
information inside and outside the library growing.

Smee June of 1981, Rachel Lohman, Director of Financial Aid, has been
- helping students and their parents find ways to pay for their classes at
Wilkes. She says she agrees that Wilkes is an "Emerging Diamond"
because in the fmancial aid department, Wilkes has proven that it
"recognizes the importance of financial aid in helping students achieve
their goals." She said proof of this is an increase in funding for financial
aid programs even when government aid drops.
She believes the financial aid department will, "continue to
contain costs and provide funding," so students can grow, like Wilkes
will, into a polished jewel.

SCHOOL SPIRIT SHINES
"We've never seen anything like this," exclaimed
one fan at a recent sporting event. The fan was not talking
about the game, or the teams that were in action, but was
referring to Colonel Bob and the rest of the Wilkes
cheerleaders.
This year was memorable, not only because the
Wilkes athletic teams did so well, but also because
Wilkes University spirit was in full force. From the
"Ralston Cheer to 'Time Out' the fans were getting
involved and loving it.
In addition to Colonel Bob's return to Wilkes as the
Colonel, the cheerleaders got a new look. The male
cheerleaders were a welcome addition to this year's
squad and with their help, the cheerleaders cheered loud
and clear. The fans had a great time watching them and
the athletic teams enjoyed the support. According to
senior Sandy Frisbie, 'Thanks to Colonel Bob and the
Cheerleaders, there is a renewed spirit at Wilkes. They
make students want to go out and support our teams.
We hope that spirit will be at Wilkes to stay.

In addition, the team earned Middle Atlantic Conference honors. Honored were:Ben McKeown, Chris
Carr, Steve Endres,Jason Smith, and Jason Langdon.
Also, a few school records were broken by Jason Smith, a junior. The records that were broken included
rushing attempts and total yards with 993 yards on 241 attempts, scoring 9 touchdowns. Of those honored,
Jason Langdon is the only senior. With only eight Colonels graduating and four all star players returning, the
Colonels are prone to be strong next season. The Colonels look to take their game to a higher level next year
as they contend for the Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1993.

Northeast title this year. The Colonel booters 19921993 record was an impressive 11-4-3.
Wilkes started the season participating in
the Millersville tournament. A tough loss in the first

the rest of the season. The Colonels went on to shut
out Drew College, winning the MAC Northeast title
by a score of 2-0.
Head coach Phil Wingert led the Colonels to
post-season playoffs for the fourth straight year,

Wilkes University's Colonel baseball team
ended the 1992-93 season with a 15-13 record. The
team is led by coach Bob Duliba and assistant
coaches Jerry Savitz and Joe Folek.
With six starters returning this year, the
Colonels began the season with many postponed
games thanks to bad weather. Steve Klem, a junior,
led the team in RB l's with 30 and Chris Carver led the
team with a batting average of .403.

anticipated, the Colonels will return next season
ready to take the challenge once again.

�Senior Picnic
The senior picnic was the picture perfect way for the last social event for the
seniors to be together before commencement. The weather could not have been
more perfect for these fine graduatesto-be. The picnic was held at Ralston
Field and food was prepared by the Administration for family and friends of
the graduating class.

Above right: Lou Emanuel in some serious
conversation; Middle: Jack Swearhart listening to Dr. Tuttle attentively even out of

�Senior Dinner Dance
In the midst of senior week activities,
on Thursday, May 20, seniors joinedfaculty and staff at the Woodlands to
celebrate their upcoming graduation.
Students flocked to the open bar, especially the beer line, and munched on
cheese and fruit while mingling and
waiting for dinner.
When everyone was finished admiring each other's fancy clothes, they sat
down to dinner . Before the salad, however Gene Consylea, Senior Class President said a few words to the class about
graduation tickets and thanked his roomates for dressing him properly, again.
Dean Lampe followed with a prayer, and
dinner began.
After the french onion soup, chicken,
and incredible chocolate mousse dessert,
seniors hit the dance floor. WKRZ's
Jumpin' Jeff Walker supplied the music
. while the pulsating crowd on the dance
floor provided the rhythm. Drinks were
spilled, hair, makeup and clothes that
took hours to make perfect were quickly
replaced by sweat, but no one really
minded, they were having a great time.
Everyone had a great time and most
retired afterwards to rooms at the hotel
or the neighboring Hampton Inn to continue the party far into Wednesday.

�Commencement
Wilkes University held its 46th annual
commencement exercises in the Marts
Center. Speakers included Joseph Cicippio,
and Paul Wender. A member of the Senior
Class to speak was John Comerford. Dr.
Lennon commented on the comparison between the weather and the journey of the
graduating class. Both were promising and
bright.

"You want me to COUNT all of these?"

Ah, Wilke's finest graduates.

�Murray's Inn
It is a tradition to go to Murray's
the beginning of Senior week. The
majority of the Senior Class was at
the annual event. Everyone took a lot
of pictures, as it was one of the final
times together as a class . Dean Lampe
and President Breiseth even made an
appearence. It was a fun time for the
class with free food and drinks.

208

���To the Graduating Class of 1993:
You are graduating from Wilkes University at a time of enormous opportunity and
sobering challenges. I know that your Wilkes education will prepare you for personal and
professional success. I also hope your time at Wilkes will incline you to seek opportunities
to serve your fellow human beings. The need for people - intensive investment has never
been greater and will characterize your entire lifetime. I hope you will become active with
Wilkes alumni around the country and find ways to come back often to campus and be
involved in building and strengthening your alma mater to serve future generations of
students and making it even beter known as an institution of higher learning. Mrs. Breiseth
joins me in wishing you great luck and expressing the hope that in your pursuit of happiness
and success you will have a lot of fun along the way.

WILKES-BARRE - Choosing a theme for a
yearbook is one of the most difficult tasks
which faces a staff. The theme of a yearbook
must capture the spirit of that year - what
makes it stand out from all the rest - yet,
the theme must be chosen early to aid in the
design of the book and still remain relevant
at the end of the year.
Numerous ideas were discussed by the
Amnicola staff; brainstorm.1.ng sessions were
held, and even a contest was opened to the
student body to find a theme. Although a
number of possible themes were suggested
(including song titles and nostaJ.gic phrases)
none were guaranteed to still be important
to campus life at the close of the 1991-92
school year.

GOAL
REACHED AT
WILKES
by KIMBERLY ESCARGE,
Sta.ff Writer
WILKES UNIVER. CAMPUS - This
year, the Wilkes Tomorrow Campaign exceeded its set goal of
eighteen million dollars. This campaign began in 1986 and was originally planned to la.st for a five
year period. However, in February
of 1989 it was obvious that the
goal would be surpassed. As a result, the campaign was extended
to a, six year period with a twentythree million dollar goal. The
funds ra.ised a.re to benefit the
school, its students, faculty, and
the general public.
The Arna.ud C. Ma.rte Sports and
Conference Center was built with
the help of these funds. This new
facility, which sa.tisfies the fitness needs and recreational activities of the students, 1s also used
for conferences, (see GOAL page B)

�CAMPUS
UNDERGOES
REMODELING
By Kimberly A. Escarge, Staff
Writer

WILKES CAMPUS - This
past Fall many students returned to classes at Wilkes
and found that some major
renovations were made over
the summer. This project,
which took about two and a
half months, included such
buildings as Sterling Hall,
Sullivan Hall, Stark Learning Center, and the campus
bookstore.
State of the art equipment
was installed in the Physics,
Biology, and Chemistry labs
in Stark. In addition, the
faculty offices in these departments were renovated.
The bookstore underwent
major remodeling both inside and out. A ramp was
added to the outside of the
building to allow access for
handicapped individuals.
The bookstore had a · new look
when students returned for the
Fall Semester.

The inside of
the store was
changed to improve not only ap·p ear an c e but
more important, ly,overall service.
These renovations can best be
described as a step
in the right direc- ·
tion for the University.

renovated Chemistry Lab.

this campaign is also used
for scholarship and faculty
endowments, which enable
more students to afford the
rising cost of a college education and faculty members to be compensated for
time, energy, and support in
making the University what
it is.
These funds also go towards the Annual Fund
which is used to cover the
day-to-day expenses of the
University. Under the direction of Thomas B. Hadzar,
Vice-President for Development, this campaign solicits
such funds from the Board
of Trustees and those closest to the University - the
students. It has reached out
to alumni in over twenty
cities to solicit funds on a
one-to-one basis. The campaign officially concluded
on December 31, 1991.

Acid Scare
at Wilkes
by SUSAN DRAUS, Co-Editor
STARK LEARNING CENTER - Classes in Stark Learning Center were interupted Wednesday, September 18,
when the Scranton Police Department's bomb squad arrived to dispose of a container of potentially explosive chemicals. Students were
evacuated and the container was
moved across the street to the river
bank where it was later safely detonated at 4:36 p.m. Picric acid is an
organic compound once commonly
used to identify other chemicals in
experiments. Dr. Faut, Head of the
Chemistry Department, says that
the compound has since been replaced by safer testing methods.
Employees discovered the container August 14 while renovating the
chemical storage facilities. If the
container were opened, the dust
that collected in the cap could have
created friction, causing the container to explode. The container was
placed in a lead-lined, cement-walled
vault used to store radioactive material until a way was found to dispose of it properly.
The compound could have been
rendered harmless by ''rehydrating" the mixture by drilling a
hole into the container and adding
water, but a New Jersey firm
refused. Officials decided to have the
bomb squad use blasting caps to detonate the compound.

WILKES CLEARED OF
RESPONSIBILITY
by LORI TRUMAN, Co-Editor
WILKES-BARRE - The September 27 death of a Luzerne County electrician had Wilkes University
officials in an uproar. Robert Curley of Wilkes-Barre, age 32, died of a massive dosage of thaJlium.
Thall1um 1s a colorless, odorless, heavy metal previously used for rat poison.1.ng until it was banned
twenty years a.go because of its extreme tox1city. Dr. George Hudock, Luzerne County Coroner, noted
that Curley's body cont&amp;ined a volume of thaJlium equivalent to that of 900 Bayer aspirin tablets.
It had been suggested that Curley may have come in contact with the thaJlium while working at
Wilkes University during the summer months while he was renovating the chemistry labs at the school.
Th&amp;llium. compounds had been stored 1n the labs at Wilkes. However, District Attorney Jerome Cohen
said that the thaJlium 1n Curley's system was not absorbed through the skin, knowingly ingested, or
caused by environmental exposure.
School officials issued statements decla.r1ng that tests had been performed which proved that the

Joan Curley, the widow of the poisoned man, caJled for a murder investigation to sweep away any
public perception that she had a hand 1n her husband's death .
Currently, the D.A.'s office, police officials, and Hudock are still investigating although they now

CHASE LAWN - Forty groups participated in this year's Club Day, which
took place on September 5, making it the
most successful in recent years.
Club Day has become a tradition at
Wilkes, providing clubs with a means of
showing potential members what the
club is all about. It also benefits the
students by giving them the opportunity to talk with club members and ask
questions about the organization.
''This was the largest and most successful Club Day that I've ever seen,"
said Michael Nolfe, Coordinator of Student Activites.
Students showed their spirit through
eye catching stands, displays, and attractions. Highlights of the day included
caricature drawings sponsored by the
Programming Board, a gravity chair presented by the Physics Club, and the always flamboyant Cue-n-Curtain rubber
chicken.
The Student Government clown
welcomed students by passing out balloons, while the Martial Arts Club members entertained the crowd by breaking
solid wood with their bare hands.
"Just about every club I spoke to
seemed very happy with the number of
new members," added Nolfe.

faculty, and students joined
Wilkes University in its annual
summer Commencement and
Convocation exercises.
Honoring the most recent Wilkes
graduates and officially beginning the 1991-1992 academic
year, the ceremony was held on
August 29 in the Henry Gymnasium of the Marts Center.
During the exercises 126 graduates received their degrees, 77
of whom were Master's degrees
and 48 were Bachelor's degrees.
Most of those who received their
Master's degrees were not the
traditional twenty-something
students, but rather working
professionals with families who
advanced their education on a
part-time basis.
President Christopher N.
Breiseth welcomed

the 126 graduates to the 21st
century and challenged them
to become "world citizens."
While changes were taking
place all over the world, particularly in the Soviet Union
where the reigns of Communism were beginning to loosen, President Breiseth commented," ... we now know
that an era has ended. The
Cold War is over. A new era
has begun.''
Keeping with the world
view, Breiseth advised the
graduates, "Whatever your
future occupation, your future employment, opportunities will increasingly be defined in international terms.''
He ended his address by
asking the graduates to extend a citizenship to the nation as well as the world to
ensure a brighter future for
generations to come.

RALSTON FIELD/CPA- Wilkes University celebrated Parent's Day on Saturday, October 5,
1991. This day offers students the opportunity
to show their families what college life is all
about and provides some time for families to
relax and enjoy a fun-filled day together.
The day began early with a student talent
show which took place in the CPA. Parents had
the chance to see the hidden talents of their
children and enjoy a good laugh. After the talent
show, the Lady Colonels took on Juniata for a
late morning field hockey game. Fo·o tball followed with the Colonels dropping to rival Moravian.
The highlight of the day was comedian, Joe
Bolster, from Comic Strip Live. Bolster performed
Saturday evening in the CPA to a packed house of
parents and students alike.
The day's events were successful and a good

�HOME SWEET HOME-COMING
by JEAN NEPA, Copy Editor

WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University celebrated its 44th annual Homecoming the weekend of October 18. This year's
theme was "Home Sweet Home".
The festivities began Thursday night at the Henry Gymnasium. A pep rally was held in place of the traditional
bonfire. This was done in observance to a water conservation ordinance in t:t;ie Wilkes-Barre area following a summer-long drought. Despite the change in plans, students'
spirits were high as they packed the gym to show support
for the sports teams and the homecoming candidates.
Following opening remarks, the 1991 Homecoming King
and Queen candidates were introduced. Candidates for
queen included: Christine Cardello, Loretta Carnival, Gena
Grum, Lindsey Krivenko, Gina Lupini, Katie McGeary, Deb
Rydelewski, Karen Shiavo, Becky Steinberger, Lori Truman, and Gina Viccaro. The three finalists chosen were:
Loretta Carnival, Deb Rydelewski, and Lori Truman.
Nominated for king were: Paris Alunni, T.R. Andrake,
Jon Ben, James Dawkins, Mick Dungan, Andy Feinberg,
Sean Heron, Jerry Hoffman, Joe Lukas, Tom Mooney, and
Tom Wittman. The three finalists chosen were: Paris Alunni, T.R. Andrake, and Mick Dungan.

�Wilkes Students Go "Into The Streets"
by GENA GRUM and SUZANNE TROSKO
Assistant Copy Editor and Business Editor

Carol Hiscox shares a story with a child
during ''Story Hour.''

WILKES-BARRE- Into The Streets is a national
program designed to introduce more students to
thoughtful community service and to provide
learning experiences on the subject of volunteering. Our Wilkes University students, along with
members of the community, took part in this important program on Saturday, November 2, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m.
Student coordinators from Wilkes included, Lori
Fuller, Suzanne Trosko, Michele Corbett and
Wayne McDonnell. Efforts from Dean Allen, Mary
Martino and other faculty, helped this program get
underway at Wilkes.
"The point of Into The Streets," stated Suzanne
Trosko, "was to give students a day to see what
community service is like and try to get them to
make a commitment.''
Four issues were selected for the focus of Wilkes
students: Children and Youth; Education/Literacy;
the Environment; and Housing, Homelessness and
Hunger.
On the issue of Children and Youth, a Halloween
party was planned for the Children of O'Karma
Terrace. The party took place in the Student Union
Building and provided the kids with two hours of
fun shared by volunteers from Wilkes.

"Into the Streets" addressed the issue of Education and Literacy with a book collection
for a literacy library in the Mineral Springs Housing Project. An additional activity
planned was "Story Hour," where the REACH program, a ministry dedicated to helping
youth who have no where to go while their parents work, had Wilkes students read
stories, play games and entertain the children.
Addressing the environmental concerns, Off Campus Council, Student Government and
ROTC helped clean up the neighborhood in and around the Wilkes campus. E.E.S. cleaned
up the soon to be designated nature trail, "The TUBBS," along route 115, while the
Biology club mantained a clean environment near the Cross Valley Expressway. Last but
not least, residence halls collected bottles and cans to be taken to the Allen Industries
recycling center.
To alleviate the problems of Housing, Homelessness and Hunger, the CEO helped Wilkes
volunteers move furniture and clean the homes of the elderly while the Sociology club
took part in Feed A Friend, distributing boxes of food for the annual collection.
Into the Streets concluded with a dinner and dance in RUMOURS, sponsored by the
Multi-Cultural Club, with proceeds benefitting the Habitat for Humanity and Hunlock
Creek Project. The dinner gave the various groups the opportunity to speak about what
they had done that day and how it affected each person as an individual.
Hopefully, a day such as Into The Streets will continue every year, so people will start
to feel the need to volunteer such as our students did.

�HALLOWEEN ''HAUNTS'' WILKES CAMPUS
By LORI TRUMAN, Editor
WILKES UNIVER. CAMPUS - Wilkes was overrun with spirits this Halloween as several campus organizations sponsored ''fright-night'' activities.
Dennison Hall became the site of "The Evil
Estate, The Nightmare on Franklin Street" as
both Wilkes and King's Circle K members, along
with many area high school students, converted
the vacant building into a haunted house. The
"Evil Estate" ran from October 25-31 and was a
huge success. Money raised was donated to the
"Habitat for Humanity" program.
Commuter Council and IRHC sponsored a
"Mocktails-Halloween Dance" on Saturday, October 26th, in Rumours. Students enjoyed a variety of snacks and mocktails in honor of National Alcohol Awareness Week. Music was
provided by the band, "Strand". Prizes, such as
cash and free tickets to the haunted house, were
awarded for the best costumes.
And of course, what would Halloween be at
Wilkes without the usual costume parties at
many off-campus apartments. · Numerous scary
activities took place at apartments on Barnum
Place, South Street and Sullivan Street and featured such characters as Playboy bunnies,
cavemen, and the gang from Sesame Street.
Adding to the ever-present fear of Halloween
night was the nation-wide rumor of a huge massacre to occur on a college campus in the northeast section of the country. This tale stemmed
from a prediction by Nostradomas, a famed
prophet from thousands of years ago.
Panic spread across campuses up and down the
east coast. Thankfully, no such massacre occurred.
The dance, parties, haunted house and even
the fear of a massacre combined to provide a good
time, a good scare, and a great Halloween.

HENRY GYMNASIUM - On Sunday,
November 16th the Wilkes Colonels took to
the mat against the Soviet Junior National
Wrestling Team.
This match was only an exhibition dual for
the Colonels, but pitted the wrestlers against
some formidable opponents, giving them
valuable experience for the upcoming season.
The Colonels initially held the lead in the
contest, but the Soviets' heavier weight
classes eventually turned the score in their
favor, with the match ending at 26-14.
Although losing the match was a
disappointment, the Colonels still managed to
display their great wrestling taJent. In a
nation-wide tour of the United States, the
Soviets had only lost twice. "This was
something that these men will remember for
a lifetime. It was a great experience for all of
us and we gained international exposure to

BALTIMORE - On October 26,
1991, twenty Biology majors led
by Dr. Michael Steele travelled to
the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland and to the National Zoo in Washington D. C. for some
first-hand observations of animal
behavior. The two-day trip is a requirement for the four-credit
course, but most of the bio majors
in the class didn't mind. "I think
the trip was a good experience,"said Mark Stanakis, a senior. "Most courses don't offer the

RUMOURS - Unlike Christmas and Easter,
Thanksgiving is a unique American experience. No matter what religious or ethnic
background you are from, Thanksgiving is
the time to count our blessings in the company of family and friends. The International-American Club held the sixth annual International Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday,
November 24.
Although traditional turkey was the main
course, the rest of the dinner was anything
but traditional. Ninety-six students and faculty members from seventeen countries contributed dishes from their homeland. Replacing mashed potatoes and stuffing were

MARTS CENTER - Wilkes University
Programming Board presented a night of
laughter November 10, 1991, by bringing the comedy routines of David Spade
and Dana Carvey to the Arnaud C. Marts
Center. Carvey, one of the most popular
comedians on NBC's "Saturday Night
Live," performed some of his famous
characters for a packed house of 2100.
During the 90-minute performance,
Carvey went to comedic-lengths to perform the piano routine "Chopin' Broccoli" and an imprompto ballad entitled
"Cindy and Mike," after two audience
members.
Opening for Carvey was a fell ow SNL
comedian David Spade. Spade, on stage
for twenty minutes, took full advantage
of the short period to warm to the audience with his versatile style. His performance included skits about drivers,
women, his family, and an extremely
accurate impression of Michael J. Fox.
He offered the men in the audience some
advice - "girls who wear 'scrunchies'
are evill"
Both comedians had the audience rolling in the aisles and eagerly awaiting
the "appearance" of Dana's most popular character the ''Church Lady.''
Garvey's portrayal of the pristine, judgemental mature woman provided enough
laughs for an encore presentation and a
fitting ending to a night of fantastic
comedy. "Well ...isn't that special?!"

And do the students decorate! Lounges, windows,

as individual rooms are
strung with lights, tinsel,
ornaments, and the occasional mistletoe.
Holiday foods are prepared, cookies are baked,
and gifts are exchanged
before the students leave

�FOOTBALL
By Becky Steinberger, Amnicola Staff Member
RALSTON FIELD - The Wilkes Colonels, despite a struggling
season, had a consistent high-spirited attitude which showed
throughout their games.
Tom Mooney, who served as co-captain along with Jason
Langdon, said, "The attitude was better. We didn't give up any
games. We played some tough teams and kept the scores
close."
A key ingredient for the Colonels' highlights was that Coach
DeMelfi put freshmen and sophomores in the games. The
reason, coach states, is that "their experience will be helpful
in the coming season.''
Mooney added, "If the attitude stays the same, next year's
team should do well."
Receiving honors in the Middle Atlantic Conference are

�MEN'S SOCCER

I

By Lori Truman, Amnicola Co-Edi tor
RALSTON FIELD - Once again, the Wilkes University Men's
Soccer team made headlines with a successful season. The
team posted a mark of 16-5-1 in the '91 season, in route to
breaking many long-standing University records.
Among the milestones reached by the team this year were:
most wins in a season(l6), most shutouts in a season(l3), and
the team's leading scorer, Paul Jellen, broke the school record
for most goals in a season(2O). Along with these honors, the
Colonels also earned the title of Co-Champions of the Northeast
Division of the MAC. Steve Maloney also broke the school's
single-season assist record with 14 assists and ended his four
years with another Wilkes record: 34 career assists.
Senior Ron Rainey and Jell en were also selected to First
Team All-MAC honors, while teammates Chris Dahm and
Maloney grabbed Second Team All-MAC selections.
Senior T.R. Andrake expressed his feelings about his last
season, "We just had a great year, especially by breaking the
record (for most wins). As a team, we were all close and really
worked as an efficient unit."
The colonels entered this season as the defending ECAC
Southern Division Champions.

After kicking their way
through another successful
season, the Colonels put
themselves in the ECAC's
semifinal round, ready to def end their title. Ironically,
the Colonels found themselves pitted against the
very team they defeated last
year for the title- Frostburg
State. Unfortunately, this
year the luck was with
Frostburg. The Colonels
were defeated 3-2 after a
valiant comeback effort.

�FIELD HOCKEY
By Lori Truman, Amnicola Co-Editor
RALSTON FIELD - 1991 was another year for
solid field hockey performances by the Wilkes
University Lady Colonels. The Wilkes women
put forth a commendable 7-8-2 record. Although
'91 was not a winning season it was certainly a
memorable one.
"We definitely played better quality hockey
than our record shows,'' explains senior member Lindsey Krivenko. "The important thing is
that we had a lot of fun. We were very team
oriented, and the personalities of our team just
worked well together."
Fellow senior Loretta Carnival agrees, "Being
on the team was hard work, but a lot of fun.
Everyone has a strong sense of teamwork."
While the Lady Colonels were enjoying themselves, they were also hard at work playing topnotch field hockey, as evidenced by several honors garnered by the team. Amy Antinnes and
Lindsey Kri venko were selected as MAC All
Stars. Antinnes, a senior and the team's top
scorer, was also awarded the "Offensive Player
of the Year'' award. Krivenko was honored with
the "Defensive Player of the Year" award. Newcomer Amy Pyle was awarded "Outstanding
Freshman" status as well.
Overall, the players agreed it was the outstanding coaching by Addy Malatesta which led
to such success.
"Addy is more than just a coach," explained
Loretta Carnival, "she's a good friend as well."
Obviously, teamwork, superb leadership, and
true enjoyment of the game all contributed to
this year's success as well.
Krivenko finishes, "As a senior, leaving the
team was terrible- one of the saddest things I've
had to do. It's tough to let go of such a great
experience.''

�VOLLEYBALL
By Gena Grum, Assistant Copy Editor and Kathy Monahan, Staff
Member.
HENRY GYMNASIUM - The 1991 season for the Wilkes Volleyball
team turned out to be a different year than anticipated by many of
the players. It was not a season of great success but a season of
learning, togetherness, and frustration.
The team went through many adjustments during 1990-91. After
being assigned two new coaches last year, the team was ready for a
stable season; instead, the players had to adjust to the style of two
new coaches once again. It took some time before the coaches and
players understood one another and began to work together.
"Practically the whole season," stated senior Kathy Monahan. This
is where the togetherness and frustration came from. Kathy stated,
"A Wilkes volleyball team has never been so close together as
players and friends in the past two years. The team pulled together
to help one another learn the game and to help each other through
the frustration of a new head coach."
All in all the season was a learning experience - learning how to
deal with people and new coaches.

�SOCCER
By Missie Chinchar.
RALSTON FIELD - Over the past four seasons, the
Wilkes women's soccer team has been building a
solid program for the future. But this season, they
had more to prove.
When the Lady Colonels began this season, their
expectations were high. The team's balance of new
faces and seasoned veterans produced a recordsetting season.
Under four-year Head Coach Kathy Miller, the
team broke the school record for most wins in a
season, establishing a new mark at five wins. This
was quite an accomplishment considering the youthfulness of the program.
Four captains lead the team to the new mark. Seniors Denise Carson and Dawn Hosler will be missed on
the field next year, while two juniors Diane Gibbs
and Kelly Bruegger will return for one more season.
Overall, the Lady Colonels can look back on this
season and realize that not only did they build for
seasons to come, but they molded together as a team
and established a new mark to set their goals for the
future.

The Lady Colonels prepare to block the kick

�Apartment Living
by LORI TRUMAN, Co-Editor
WILKES-BARRE- Apartment life at Wilkes entered a
new phase this year, as apartment dwellers
worked to improve their relationship with the local community.
With Wilkes students and community members
battling for better coverage of their viewpoints in
the local papers, apartment parties were toned
down a bit.
The parties still raged on, but students took care
to keep within the confines of their apartments
and control the noise level (descriptions of Barnum St. aside).

Relations between Wilkes Students and the com
munity have increased in importance as more stu
dents vacate the residence halls for the freedom o
apartment life. "Moving off-campus was a really
good decision for me. I had a great experience in thi
dorms but I doubt I could ever go back to dorm liff
now," stated Junior, Missy Chinchar.
If the trend to move off campus continues, r
lations between Wilkes and the local community wi
be making headlines for years to come.

Becky Steinberger and Jadi Willison spend time between classes 1n Stark lobby With other commuters. ~

STARK LOBBY- Being a commuter can be
a rather adventurous experience. For
many it means driving anywhere from
five minutes to over an hour each way.
Then, the desperate struggle to find a
parking space begins. Some are lucky
enough to receive parking permits for
the lots located on campus, but then you
must arrive early enough to stake claim
to a parking place.
For those who are not lucky enough to
have a parking permit, or those late arrivals who can't find an empty space on
a University lot, street parking is always an alternative. Now the commuter
prays for enough change to make it
through all his classes without getting a
ticket and enough time in between classes to replenish the meter.
Commuter life does have its advantages, though. Commuter students can
still enjoy home-cooked meals, they
don't get homesick, and can usually
have their laundry done on a regular
basis with no additional costs. They
don't have to worry about packing and
unpacking and they don't have to wait
for the weekends or holidays to go home.
Commuter students can usually be
found in the SUB, Stark Lobby, or the
library, especially when papers, projects, and homework are due. Some commuters spend more time at school than
at home depending on their course load
and a variety of other options that are
available to them. Many events, such as
bus trips, are sponsored by the Commuter Council and are open to all students,
not just commuters. Then, there are always the off-campus apartment parties
and all of the activities that go along
with having friends that live at school.
Being a commuter can be annoying at
times and exciting at others, but it is
never boring.

Cue and Curtain is a campus club
which was organized for students of all
majors to get involved with theatre at
Wilkes. Among other projects, each year
the club stages its own production, usually a children's show.
Following the tradition of children's
shows such as "Everybody, Everybody"
and "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,'' this year the club chose a new
children's musical by Maurice sendak
called "Really Rosie." Not only did the
show help to raise funds for Cue and
Curtain, but it also introduced the excitement of theatre to children in the
community.
The club also gets involved in the bigger theatre department productions and
hopes, in the future, to sponsor alternative theatre at Wilkes as well as continue with the more traditional shows.

IABC
The Wilkes Chapter of the IABC (International Association of Business Communicators) is one of three
in Pennsylvania, and was formed in 1990. Wilkes IABC
is a professional organization that is open to all business and communications majors.
Over the past year IABC has been very active. It has
hosted two voter registrations and a career fair, where
four Wilkes graduates attended to discuss the transition from college to a full-time career.
Wilkes IABC has also worked with the downtown
merchants. In November the club sponsored a bowl-athon which raised money for the Domestic Violence
Women's Center and the !ABC's treasury. Downtown
merchants donated gift certificates and prizes and in
return IABC members helped with their Christmas
promotion.
On Earth Day, April 22, IABC hosted a display which
featured aluminum can crushing, emphasized the importance of products that minimize packaging, and
promoted local merchants who practice green marketing.
Faculty advisor for the chapter is Jane ElmesCrahall, Assistant Professor of Communications at
Wilkes. Donna Sedor, Communications Manager for the
Greater Wilkes-Barre Partnership serves as professional advisor. The Wilkes chapter is sponsored by
!ABC/Lehigh Valley.

A new chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, a National electrical engineering honor society, was installed on December 6, 1991.
Although at Wilkes a relatively short
time, Professor Kirk Bush saw the need
for an EKN chapter and was the driving
force behind establishing the Kappa
Beta Chapter. The initiation ritual was
conducted by James D'Arcy, the current
National President; Robert Arehart, immediate past National President; Dr.
Kirk Bush, Chapter Faculty Advisor; and
Timothy Sichler, a visiting Assistant
Professor at Wilkes. Six faculty members
and thirteen students were inducted
into the newly formed chapter as charter members.
The chapter officers are: Jeff Webster,
President and Recording Secretary;
Kimberly Karrott, Vice-President and
Treasurer; Michael Miller, Corresponding Secretary and Bridge Correspondant.
The Kappa Beta Chapter hosted a farewell dinner for the graduating electrical
engineers. The highlight of the dinner
was a teacher's roast, conducted by the
graduates. The chapter is hoping this
will become an annual event.

Shown in the first row is Kimberly Kinney

The 1992 school year was an active year for
the sophomore class. The purpose of the class
officers and representatives is to act as a liaison between the University and the class.
The officers also get together to plan events
and fundraisers throughout the semester.
The sophomores kicked off the year on Club
Day in September. Datamatch proved to be
profitable and has proven entertaining. The
event has been scheduled to be included in the
agenda for years to come. The class also ordered class t-shirts featuring the top ten reasons to go to Wilkes. The class participated in
the Cherry Blossom Festival.
The biggest event that the sophomores participated in was the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
The sophomore volunteers took a month out of
their schedules in order to devote unlimited
hours into the first float Wilkes University
has ever produced. It was a warming experience, that the officers hope to include in next
year's schedule. The float received publicity
from the area TV stations and a first page
article in the BEACON.
A special treat came to the sophomore officers from Trustee Clifford Melberger. The ten
elected class representatives were invited to a
luncheon with Mr. Melberger. At the luncheon
the students received a tour of the company,
Diversified Records, and they also were given
the chance to express their views about campus life.

Earth
Conservancy

Wilkes' sophomore class sponsored
a float in this year's St. Patrick's
day parade held in Wilkes-Barre.

LUZERNE COUNTY- The Earth Conservancy is trying to reclaim the bankrupt Blue Coal Mine land in Luzerne
County.
The Conservancy is a non-profit organization which plans, according to
Dr. Umid Nejib, to "develop innovative
technologies which are economically
feasible and self-supporting, and will
capitalize on regional expertise and resources to meet its objectives."
In other words, this project will use
resources in the Wyoming Valley to
benefit the nation, as well as the Valley. The Valley, however, will be the
first priority.
The Conservancy's first step is to
use the 15,000 acres of land belonging
to the bankrupt Blue Coal Mine to
build an Applied Research Center
whose main purpose is to develop and
commercially market portable water
jet technology. (see COAL MINE, page
165)

BELL TOWER - The Wilkes University
Air Force ROTC students held a Homeless
Sleep-Out on Saturday, March 28th to
benefit the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen
in Wilkes-Barre. The event also helped to
spur awareness of the homeless problem
in Luzerne County and throughout the
nation. The students slept on the lawn
beneath the Bell Tower without food or
shelter from 8 p.m. Saturday until 8 a.m.
Sunday morning.
Area businesses and individuals were
solicited to sponsor a student and help
support the local soup kitchen.

�Generator Fire
Forces Students Out
by LORI TRUMAN, Co-Editor
EVANS - Early March 1st over 200 residents in Evans Hall
were awakened to participate in what they thought was an
evacuation drill. An actual fire did break out on the 5th floor,
however, forcing its residents out at approximately 5:30 a.m.
Bill Tevele, an R.A. in Evans said "The power went out
around 5:00 a.m. A pipe burst on the 5th floor and when the
water hit the transformer it (the transformer) caught fire
and set off all the alarms.''
Students were relocated to Stark Lobby or to other dorms
until the fire was extinguished. Students were allowed to
return to their rooms at 10:40 a.m. Sunday morning, but
were without electricity and water. A backup generator was
used t0 restore power temporarily, but at 6:30 p.m. the
failure of the backup resulted in a blackout which forced
students out once again.
At 8:00 p.m. all power was finally restored and students
were allowed to return to the dorm. Monday morning at
10:30 a.m. a short caused another power failure which, fortunately, only lasted twenty minutes.

Students raise questions at the Open Forum session held during the
Spring Semester.

COAL MINES - This technology, developed at the Rock Mechanics Laboratory at the University of Missouri-Rolla, will
bring jobs and a use for abandoned coal mines. Water jets
can be used for safely disarming weapons and mining coal,
in otherwise unuseable flooded mine areas, thus creating a
new source for fossil fuel.
Congressman Paul Kanjorski secured $20 million in .federal funds on January 14,
1990, to buy, through the
Earth Conservancy, the land
associated with the Blue Coal
Mine. This grant was awarded
mostly because of the military
applications. Thanks to the
end of the Cold War, Pentagon
officials are searching for a
way to safely bore live ammunition from shells to recycle
the metal casings. Water jet
techology is the safest solution to the problem.
Water jets also may be a
short term answer to our disappearing natural resources.
The jets, according to Dr. David Summers, a Rolla professor and head of the research
team, can mine coal in small
enough particles that it could
be a substitute for diesel fuel.
It will reopen and make a good
use for the mines and remaining coal in the area.

O.C.C. Deals with "Party

Problems''
by LORI TRUMAN, Co-Editor
WILKES UNIVERSITY - An article appearing in the March 4th issue of the local Citizens' Voice, touched
off a month-long series of "negotiations" between the Off Campus Council at Wilkes University and the

residents of 10 East South Street. The article termed the South Street apartments, where many Wilkes
students reside, an "insane asylum" and featured interviews with residents of the South Street apartment complex. Neighbors complained about students' loud parties and claimed that Wilkes students had
stolen street signs, vandalized property, thrown used condoms at their building, and had urinated and
deficated on their property.
A follow-up article appeared in the Times Leader presenting the student point of view against the
accusations. Most students felt the accusations were ridiculous and untrue. "It's absurd and frustrating.
I've made an effort to know my neighbors so something like this would never happen. We wouldn't do any
of that, we want to get along with the neighbors." said Mick Dungan, a Senior and South Street resident.
Several meetings of the Off Campus Council were held to discuss the problem. A meeting was planned
with the Tenants Association of 10 East South Street and several O.C.C. representatives. Wilkes representatives present at the meeting held on March 29th were Lori Truman, O.C.C. President; Tom Wittman,
Student Government President; and Leigh Major, O.C.C. Advisor.
Approximately thirty tenants and representatives pledged to "get the word out to students" and to
encourage more consideration toward the neighbors. The tenants promised to be more understanding and
to establish better lines of communication between themselves and the students.

�1992 Class Gift
by LORI TRUMAN, Co-Editor
WILKES UNIVERSITY - The 1992 Graduating Class at
Wilkes University met on March 19th and were presented a
plan for the annual Senior Class Gift Program. Structured
so that the newest University alumni can contribute to the
annual fund on a graduated scale, gifts begin in 1992 with
a $10.00 donation and increase each year by $5.00 until a
total of $100.00 is given by each graduating senior in 1997.
Bernadette Fornicola, Director of Alumni Giving, explains, "The Senior Gift Program gives students the opportunity to say 'Tl?,.ank You' to Wilkes University." At the
end of the campaign, the class will be surveyed to determine how the funds from the program will be used.
Scholarships, monuments, renovations, and equipment are
all possibilities.

STARK LEARNING CENTER - SLC 101 was
the scene for the Annual Open Forum held
Tuesday, February 11. Each year Student
Government hosts the event as an opportunity for students to "speak out" and let
their opinions be heard.
Students addressed the seventeen-member
panel for approximately one-and-a-half
hours. Hosted by Student Government Treasurer, John Comerford, the forum was held
with a question-answer format. All students
stepped to the microphone and stated their
name and question. The panel was then given the opportunity to answer with a brief
reply.
Although some panel members were not
specifically addressed, some were repeatedly
questioned on hot topics including tuition,
book prices, and cafeteria food.
This year's event was organized by Student Government member Jennifer Myers

Morsell on January 30.
Assuming the persona of Douglass the orator, Morsell recreated the world enslaved
Douglass inhabited from childhood to adulthood.
Morsell's inspired portrayal conveyed how
emotionally wrenching Douglass' daily life
was. Morsell recounted incidents where
Douglass was beaten, deprived of basic life
necessities, and forced to witness the beatings of his fellow slaves.

HENRY GYMNASIUM - Several times throughout the school
year Wilkes University sponsored blood drives to aid the Red
Cross.
To encourage students and faculty to give the gift of life the
University offered several prizes which were given away at each
drive. Domino's Pizza was provided for donors and volunteers in
the fall. Hillside Dairy served ice cream to the spring semester
donors.
Among the prizes were lunch at "Legends" in Genetti's and
tickets to a show at the F.M. Kirby Center. Other gifts included
certificates from Stroud's, Blockbuster Video, Odyssey Fitness
Center, Nails Beautiful, Marquis Art and Frame, T&amp;F Tire and a
fresh flower arrangement from Washington Florist.
Those individuals who donated blood at all three drives sponsired by Wilkes were eligible for a special drawing held in May for
a $200 savings bond donated by Hanover Bank.

WILKES UNIVERSITY - Although temperatures dipped below freezing for much of the
weekend, nothing could freeze the fun of
Winter Weekend '92.
More than 500 students participated in
the weekend's activities which began Friday, February 28th. Teams competed in volleyball games, dodgeball, tug-of-war, and a
"blind" basketball relay race for points.
A spirit contest was held between the
teams followed by costume and banner judging. This year's theme was based on cereal
names. A variety of "flakes" turned out this
year to compete in events that were held in
Ralston Field despite the low temperatures.
Snow and freezing winds forced team members to huddle for warmth between events.
A break in the festivities allowed the participants to return to the cafeteria for lunch

Stephen Sondheim's
"Into the Wood," the
popular family musical
from March 20th
through the 29th. This
was the first local production of the Tony

The musical is for

Whether the destination was Panama City, Myrtle Beach,
or Cancun, Mexico the goal for all Spring-breakers was to
have fun. The school-sponsored trip to Panama City was
booked solid. Many students drove on their own as the bus
was over-booked with fun (and sunl) seekers.
Other students searched for sun elsewhere - Tampa, Ft.
Lauderdale, and Miami. There were even some unconventional vacation spots this year, like Texas, California, and
Las Vegas.
Spring Break wasn't fun-in-the-sun for everybody,
though. Some students still had to work, study, or visit
with family at home.
No matter where or how students spent Spring Break, all
were in agreement at one point - A break from school,
anywhere, was definitely enjoyable.

No matter what the hazards of the sun are, there are

Brown as he ascended the campaign trail. The community came out in full force to show their support for the grass roots candidate and crowded
Rumours until they overflowed into the hall.
While reiterating his platform for all present,
amidst clapping and cheering, Mr. Brown made
poignant references to the strip mines of Hanover
and the McDonald's replacing the trains of WilkesBarre as reasons for change. Other issues he addressed were education, the environment,
POW's/MIA's, the national health care system, and
the rebuilding of America's infrastructure. During
the question and answer period that followed, the
presidential hopeful was awarded a jacket by local
veterans' organization, and Mr. Brown reassured a
young girl that if elected, he would restore public
libraries to their former glory. The overall response to Jerry Brown exceeded enthusiasm and
many were convinced that no other than Jerry
Brown could get America back on the right track.

The festival was held in hopes to try to get
more people aware of the Earth and its natural
resources. Throughout the day there were musical performances relating songs to the environment and vendors were there providing

RUMOURS - Each year at Wilkes, Seniors are given
the opportunity to learn proper etiquette at the
"Fingerbowl Experience." Hosted by Mrs. Breiseth,
the annual event was held several times throughout
the month of March.

etiquette books to review prior to dining. Students
are seated with one person at each table acting as the
host or hostess. They get to practice shaking hands
while holding glassware or hor'doevres. Throughout
the night instruction is given on how to properly eat
salads, soups and a variety of other dishes.
Eventually most students lose their ackwardness
and can adapt to the use of correct silverware and
other important social habits.

�MURRAY'S
By: Lori Truman, Co-Editor
Senior Week. Those two words express what every graduating senior waits for. After all the hard work, the late nights
studying, classes, notes, labs, parties, friends, and memories, it
all comes down to this. Four years suddenly come to an end,
and we are left with one week to "live it up" one last time.
This years Senior week began on Sunday, May 17, with the
senior's night out at Murray's Inn. The night began at 7:00
with free beer and a buffet until 11:00. Over 500 people attended the event, including many students, who returned to to
campus apartments for some late-night partying.

Tuesday, May 19th was the date set for the annual Senior
Picnic. The picnic began at 12:00, and was just the start of a
party-filled day at Wilkes. Hundreds of students enjoyed hot
dogs, burgers, and beer served by our very own faculty. The
picnic, as usual, was held at Ralston Field. Many students
played volleyball and frisbee.
At 3:00 the refreshments were gone, the picnic was over,
but the party had far from ended. Most students traveled
back to Wilkes for parties .
Tuesday night brought hundreds of students out to party
at "The Wheelman." Simple Rhyme, Wilkes best-known band,
played to their friends one last time, as students partied
until closing.

���WRESTLING
By: Lori Truman, Co-Edi tor.
MARTS CENTER - This year was a
difficult one for the Wilkes wrestlers. Faced with a very young, inexperienced group of wrestlers, and
battling injuries to many more experienced grapplers, Coach Reese
had his work cut out for him this
year. But, once again, Coach Reese
pulled our Di vision one boys
through another tough season, and
emerged with their thirty-seventh
consecutive winning season.
The grapplers ended their season
with a dual meet record of 11-9. Two
wrestlers, Senior Dave Bonomo and
Junior Chris Richard were ranked
and participated in post-season action which began on March 6.

�MEN'S
BASKETBALL
By: J.R. Rupp, Amnicola Staff Member
MARTS CENTER - The Wilkes University men's basketball team completed
their 1991-1992 basketball campaign
with a 123-107 double overtime victory
over Juniata at the Marts Center.
The Colonels finished the year with an
overall record of 10-15, 3-7 in the MAC
Northeast.
The Colonels started off their year in a
tournament that consisted of Division II
teams. Wilkes played competitive basketball but ended up with a fourth place
finish. ''The Division II tourney was sort
of a confidence breaker and that was not
good because the MAC schedule came
right after that," said head men's coach,
Ron Rainey.
However, the tough start did not set
the theme for the rest of the year. The
Colonels finished strong winning seven
out of their last eleven games. "We had a
strong finish and now we have to take
that attitude to the off season with us.
We have to work as individuals and keep
a positive attitude," said Rainey.
As the winter season fades away to the
brighter surroundings of spring, Wilkes
basketball looks ahead to next year and
the hopes of a successful season.

�WOMEN'S
BASKETBALL
By: Lori Truman, Co-Editor.
MARTS CENTER - It is often said that "quality"
counts more than "quantity". This year's Lady Colonels Basketball team certainly proved that phrase
true, with only 8 players on the roster. The women
also faced a more challenging, extended season this
year, with more games added to their regular schedule, and the trial of being guided by a new head
coach.
With so many obstacles threatening the success of
this year's team, many did not expect great things
from the Lady Colonels. Yet the women surprised
everyone, using guts and determination combined
with smart ball playing to produce an admirable, yet
deceiving 8-16 record. By most, this record would
constitute a "losing" season- but the Lady Colonels
were winners in every sense of the word.
The small numbers played quite a role in the Lady
Colonel's season. This was evidenced when the Lady
Colonels took on the Lady Monarchs of Kings. The
players took what' is normally an emotionally
charged match-up anyway and turned the event into
a lesson in strength, teamwork, and tireless effort.
The Lady Colonels took the Monarchs into DOUBLE
overtime, with only 4 players remaining on the
court. Although Wilkes lost the game, it was clearly
an absence of physical stamina and not a lack of guts
and determination accounting for the result.
Such effort was inspired in the players in many
ways: Through the excellent guidance of new Coach
Karen Haag and through the diverse talents of senior
players like Krista Zoka, Deb Erdner, and Denise
Carson, and by the scoring and leadership abilities of
Missie Chinchar.
Whatever the inspiration for this year's success,
the loss of key players next year and the addition of
many new recruits may add up to a great season of
"quality" women's Basketball at Wilkes.

�BASEBALL
By: Lori Truman, Co-Editor.
ARTILLARY FIELD - The onset of the spring months,
beautiful weather, and the need to be out doors usually
signifies the start of America's favorite past time. Batter-Up! The boys of summer swung into action on
March 18th and the Wilkes Baseball season commenced.
Unfortunately, the team spent more time postponing
games and rounding the bases in the rain this season
than they spent in typical, sunny "baseball weather."
But the rotten weather didn't dampen the spirits of the
Colonels, who once again ended with a winning season,
finishing with a record of 16-10. Team captains Chris
Imperials and Joe Ki~h brought leadership to the team,
while Imperiale, Junior Tom Whille, and Sophomores
Dave Kaschak, Steve Endres, Dave Wesoloskie, and
Steve Klem led the team in batting averages.
Freshmen Billy Noone and Joe Balay led the team in
strike outs, while Junior Dirk Heberle pitched in as
well.
Al though the Colonels missed MAC playoffs, they did
make ECAC playoffs. The team travelled to Frostburg
state in Maryland for a chance at the ECAC title. Unfortunately, the Colonels came away from that contest
with a loss. But that shouldn't overshadow the success
of this year's team.
Imperials had this to say about the season, "We expected to do well this year and we were looking forward
to the season. We really wanted to make MAC playoffs,
but making ECAC's was a good consolation."
Overall, Imperiale stressed that this past season was
definitely a successful one. When asked what he'll miss
most about baseball, he said,"Definitely the camaraderie. My friends and the competition, I will definitely
miss."

Team member Dave Kashak made headlines with the most
hits on the team this season.

teams.
With much support from their coaches
and fans, the men's team managed to pull
off an excellent record of 5-8, their best in

Some key players in these achievements
were Senior members Doug Meade and Jerry Matteo, who each had records of 6-7 in

�IT'S
OFFICIAL!

Amnicola Staff
As of January 1, 1990, Wilkes College "moved on" to be known as Wilkes
University. The official change was celebrated during University Week which began
on Saturday, February 10. The week started off with a Valentine's Day Dance. The
theme of the dance "We've Only Just Begun" signified the beginning ofWilke's new
era. Major events of University Week included the University Celebration Dinner and
The University Convocation. Both events were held in the Arnaud C. Marts Center.
The success of these activities undoubtedly foreshadows an optimistic and progressive
new era.

ON

As time goes by many events shape the lives ofpeople both
young and old. There are endings to certain episodes; with
every ending comes a new beginning. Wilkes ended its
historical past as a college and opened new doors for itself
by gaining university status. We have truly moved on to
what in the future can be called a successful decision. By
attaining university status, Wilkes has created new oppportunities in the areas of academics, enrollment, and
campus beautification.

END

�Blood Day is a time for students to give much needed attention to a worthy cause. 'Give' is exactly what Wilkes' students
did on November 1, 1989, and May 3, 1990. Many students were seen anxiously awaiting their turn to give blood to the
American Red Cross. The record number of donors proved that Wilkes students cared enough to support such a needy
organization, and to save lives.

�International Night was held on Friday,
April 6th. Entertainment for the night included a Japanese Tea Ceremony, a Malaysian Wedding Ceremony, a Vietnamese Band,
and an International Fashion Show. Guests
were asked to bring a sampling of their favorite
ethnic dish.

The Wilkes University Education Club visited the Pediatrics
Ward at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in Kingston in special
costume and with gifts for the hospitalized children.
The Wilkes students are seeking certification as teachers and
have a keen interest in activities centering around young people.
It was that interest which led to the visit to Nesbitt Hospital. The
students prepared for the visit by making hand puppets and get
well cards for the children as well as securing children's books.
The special costumes were provided by Education Club member,
Jennifer Richards.

Hurricane Hugo destroyed lives and property as it rocked the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. The storm marked one of the worst to
ever hit the Eastern coast of the United States.

Tracy Chapman's lyrics talked of homelessness and desolation. These issues had an important impact on Society throughout the 80's, and will continue to be
key issues to be addressed through the 90's.

The oil spill of the Exxon Valdez caused
disaster for the coast of Alaska. Alaska's
waters were soiled with millions of gallons
of oil after a negligent captain made a
mistake in steering his oil tanker. The natural beauty of Alaska's waters and coastline may not be the same for many years.

George Bush took over for two-term President Ronald Reagan in January of 1989. Bush won a landslide victory over Democratic opponent
Michael Dukakis. Bush promises "a kinder, gentler nation."

The San Francisco Earthquake of October 1989 was almost as devastating as it predecessor of nearly a century ago. The qua~ _caused
death and destruction throughout the bay area. Countless heroic .rescues and the rebuilding that ensued are testaments to the resiliency of
the human spirit.

Wow! - In retrospect, "wow" is the adjective describing the intense and eventful 1989-90
academic year. Much attention was focused on our campus community when Wilkes College prestigiously changed to Wilkes University.
Further attention was drawn to Wilkes when three top wrestlers: Mike Schroat, Steve Schannauer,
and Merrel Neal advanced to the NCAA championships. In men's soccer, excitement mounted as the
Colonels defeated "the U" for the first time in 19 years by a score of 2 to 1. Another first-time-in-history
feat followed as the men's soccer team met qualifications for ECAC playoffs. Team members and coach
were especially proud when first team goal keeper, Kevin Tronkowski earned the "Scholar-Athlete-All
American" award by the Adidas Corporation. Congratulations Kevin!
Congratulations are also in order for James Brogan, Joseph Cumbo, Keith Kopec, and Raimond
Chenng. Their senior paper "A Unique Process for Obtaining a Higher Quality Gate Oxide in MOS
Devices" drew attention to the Wilkes University School of Engineering by winning the 1990 I.E.E.E.
Region 2 student paper competition.
Now that the congratulatory messages are allotted, the "Thank You's" may be extended. First of all,
a warm thank you is given to the faithful Amnicola staff members (you know who you are). Second, a
sincere thank you is extended to the Beacon staff for their help, encouragement, and comic relief.
Finally, an emphatic thank you is awarded to Tom McGuire (Sports Information Director) and Public
Relations for their cooperation. Without assistance from the afore-mentioned, completion of this
yearbook would not have been possible.
I truly hope everyone enjoys this issue of the Amnicola.

�AT WORK AND PLAY

Wilkes College students have split personalities. By day, they are
aggressively studious, working hard to achieve academic and career
goals. By night, especially on the weekends, they release the pressure of
college and work by socializing with their peers. We, the 1988-89
Amnicola staff, have tried to capture both sides of college life. We want
to show you Wilkes College at "work and play."
Kathleen M. Flinsch, Co-Editor

�WILKES COLLEGE
AT WORK

Finding Wilkes College students at work is easy. They are all around
you. They can be found in class, taking notes during lecture or in lab,
dissecting frogs. They can also be found in college and area libraries
doing research or in the Mac Lab typing up their work on the word
processor. Wilkes students work in area shops and restaurants, as well
as on campus. They are also volunteers, working hard as emergency
medical technicians or firefighters. They can be found in as many
different places as there are students.

Finding Wilkes College students at play is just as easy as finding them at work. They can be found
participating in school-sponsored extra-curricular activities, such as Programming Board events and
dances. They are found in their dorms or apartments socializing with a few friends. Off-campus1 they are
at the malls, stores, and restaurants as consumers rather than workers. In the spring, they are out on the
dike working on their tans. Students manage to relieve the stresses of work any way they can. At Wilkes,
they play as hard as they work.

�THE NEW GYM: THE MARTS CENTER

Last_year, the old gym was knocked down to make way for a new gym
to meet Wilkes' expanding needs. This year, the Arnaud C. Marts Center
was finished. The three-story, 75,000 square foot building's highlight is
the huge gymnasium that has the seating capacity for 3,000 people. The
first floor contains the coaches' offices. The second floor has the conference rooms, a kitchen and a media room. The basement has the locker
rooms for both men and women's teams and their competitors, as well as
sauna, training, and nautilus rooms. It also contains the wrestling room
and its adjacent quarters. The Marts Center was designed by the awardwinning team of Bohlin, Powell, Larkin, and Cywinski. The Arnaud C.
Marts Center is a new place for Wilkes College students, faculty, and
staff to work and play.

�WILKES COLLEGE: EXPANDING FOR A
NEW CLASS

Over the past summer. Wilkes College was hard at work relocating
departments and creating new dormitory space. The first of these relocations was the transferring of the School of Business from Bedford Hall to
our newest addition, Fortinsky Hall. The Department of Art was moved
from Stark Leaming Center to Bedford Hall. The Education Department
and the Regional Computer Resource Center (RCRC) now occupy the
ain floor of Stark. The Engineering Department is where the Education
epartment and RCRC used to be.
The second set of relocations was necessitated by the need for more
ormitory space. This year's freshman class is the largest in eight years. To
lcviate the problem, Ross Hall was turned into a women·s dorm. The
lices that had been located in Ross Hall had to be moved. The Center for
Regional Development/Small Business Development Center is in the first
and third floors of Hollenback Hall. The offices for Health Sciences
partment and Dean Roselle are still on the second floor of Hollenback.
h Cooperative Education Office is now located on the third floor of the
Roth Center. Mr. Joseph Kanner, director of testing services, can now
b found on the second floor of Chase Hall. The shift in location of the
)(' to Hollenback Hall has caused the relocation of College Health
ices and Campus Counseling Service to 136 S. Franklin St. Finally, the
o

es of Evening, Weekend, and Summer Program and its new director,

M s. Galli, have moved from Chase Hall to the third floor of Roth Hall.

���Wilkes' Heritage

From Queen-Anne-inspired Chesapeake a1
Delaware Halls, to the Tudor-styled Alum
House, to the magnificent Chateauesque Wee
esser Hall, Wilkes College is blessed with an abu
dance of Architectural designs known only to
bygone era.
In the early 1800's through the 19th centm
Wyoming Valley became home to immigrants fle
ing from Europe, where they became an integ1
part of the anthracite-mining community. Beii
near the river enabled the industry to flouris
since the most economical method of transpc
tation was via waterways. These people built oarea with homes, businesses, and churches.
Many of these grand buildings still stand, si
nifying the wealth and pride of the area at the tin
of their creation. Our campus is proud to be dottt
with such historical landmarks, some having bet
donated by descendants of the homes' origin
owners. This was hope for the future. The beli
was to invest in the tomorrow's leaders today :
that the city would remain strong.
The legacy is still alive today. Many of the·
descendants are still an active part of the college t
serving as members of the Board of Trustee
They've not only given us our heritage and tru~
they've given us a part of themselves.
As a tightly-knitted group, these people ha,
bonded together still working for our bettermen
Not only can we boast of our landscape at th
school; we can also be proud to say we've still got
part of this heritage centuries later, helping us 1
achieve our dreams.
We admire the architecture surrounding us, y1
many never stopped to ask about the stories go'
erning it. Maybe now we can appreciate it eve
more and someday be able to repay some of tl
riches given to us by such strong and devote
families. We'll now strive to maintain the lifeline&lt;
Wilkes CoHege as we go out into the world an
become the quality doctors, engineers, artists, an
humanists you've instilled in us to be.
We thank you sincerely.

�Belltower
}round was broken in the quadrangle
mded by the Farley Library, Kirby,
ase, and Church Halls, and a bricki-mortar belltower erected. The loion was once suggested by Dr. Eu1e Farley, Wilkes College's first pres:nt. The "Burns Alumni Tower and
rillon" was approved by the Board of
Jstees last July.
rhe structure is 61 feet tall with a base
6 x 10 feet. It has Westminster
.mes, a tape control which can play
: "Alma Mater," and an electric cone. The melodies can be programmed
play every quarter-hour.
Richard Charles, Vice-President of
,llege Advancement, said the idea of a
lltower went back at least 20 years. He
d that during the 80's, people began
dream again. In the 60's, the efforts
:re devoted to the Dorothy Dickson
trte Center, Pickering Hall, and the
irk Learning Center. The 70's were
ent repairing damages from the 1972
,od. Now, finally, the 80's rekindled

the idea of a belltower.
John Chwalek, Special Assistant for
College Advancement has been at
Wilkes since 1946. He expressed his interest in the project by relaying the feelings of administrative members (and
himself). They believe the belltower will
serve as a central landmark of the College, an intellectual symbol, and a piece
of musical expression.
Chwalek served as coordinator of the
50th Homecoming celebration held in
honor of the class of 1935, the first graduating class. He then brought up the
feasibility of constructing a belltower on
campus during a president's council
meeting in 1983. The council was enthusiastic and Dr. Capin (President at
this time) ok'd the fund-raising proposals.
The majority of the contributions
came from Chwalek, Chwalek's friends,
Dr. Charles Burns, friends of Burns, and
the graduating class of 1970. The belltower then became part of the "Wilkes

Tomorrow" program which commits
funds to identified College needs.
Burns, a long-time resident of Wyoming Valley, took an interest in donating money toward the belltower idea.
Because of his prominence in this area
and contribution to Wilkes, the belltower has been named after him. Burns
became the first physician among the
alumni. He is now a recognized specialist in urology, a respected community practitioner, and an alumnus of the
first graduating class of Bucknell Junior
College (now Wilkes). Upon graduation
from Bucknell, Burns attended J efferson Medical College in Philadelphia
where he earned his Doctor of Medicine
degree in the early 40's.
The belltower was dedicated on October 24th. Christopher Breiseth,
Wilkes' current President said .the donation was a symbol of aspiration and
an aesthetically important contribution.

�We Can Make A Difference
"Do They Know It's Christmas?" with
Band-Aid and "We Are the World" with
USA ·for Africa launched the world-wide
·campaign for public awareness of the global
hunger problem. Wilkes College followed up
on the campaign by hosting a series of events
designed to promote campus-wide awareness of the problem.
A "Hunger Banquet" kicked off the campaign for awareness. Students, faculty, and
staff attended a luncheon in Stark Leaming
Center. They ate food representative of
first-, second-, and third-world countries.
A few weeks later, Wilkes students, together with community groups and individuals, took part in a "Crop Walk." The proceeds from sponsors of the 5.6 mile walk
were donated to help alleviate hunger.

Another project called "Feed-a-Friend,"
an annual community project, helped to
make the overall project a success. Commuter students donated canned and d
goods to the area's needy. Dorm students
also helped by voluntarily fasting for a meal.
The cost of the meal was donated to the
"Feed-a-Friend" project by the College.
In the Have-a-Heart crusade, personal hygiene items were collected to aid the homeless.
Despite the fact that as college students we
cannot donate thousands of dollars individually, we can help other people everywhere.
We've proven that a joint effort can be very
successful. The poor have benefitted from
our efforts and we've also benefitted b)
knowing we can make a difference.

The Bewitching Hour
October 31 st's less-than-full moon didn't deter ghouls, goblins, and Dracula from gathering at
the gym on this particular Saturday night for an evening of dancing and costume-judging. Walt
Disney characters were a popular theme, but other students used their imaginations and
transformed themselves into such creations as a Hershey Kiss, the Liberty Bell, and, oh yes ...
our own Belltower!

���The Ballad of Gary Hart
(To be read to the "Ballad of Gilligan's Island")
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from a western state aboard a mighty
debt. The mate was a sleazy model, the skipper sly and lewd. The Hart Campaign set sail that day for a four year
tour . .. a four year tour.
The Miami Herald started getting rough, the accusations flew, if not for the courage of the affectionate crew,
the campaign would be lost ... the campaign would be lost.
The ship struck ground on Bimini, a romantic Caribbean Isle, with: the Democrats, the Liberals, the adulterer
and his wife, the media, public opinion and Garyland ... all on Gary Hart's back!
Now this is the story of our cast-out-candidate, he's in and out all the time. He'll have to make the best of
things, it's an outright lie. Lee and the rest of the Democrats will do their very best, to make Gary and Donna
comfo rtable in their tropical love nest. No money, no platform, no monkey business, not a single excuse, just like
poor old Ted Kennedy, he's going over the edge. So join us here each week my friends, you're sure to get a smile
from the seven remaining Democratic candidates, here on Gary Hart's back!
By: Paul Matticks
and Walter Smith
The Presidential election this year will be the first time
since 1968 that an incumbent isn't running for our nation's
office. Ronald Reagan will be stepping down from his position. His duties will be taken over by the victorious Democratic or Republican electee in January 1989. Vice President
George Bush, Pat Robertson, Michael Dukakis, and Reverend
Jesse Jackson are all after that brass-ring position.

"Hey, That _Git(is Cute"
It was a very interesting and embarrassing year for Jim and Tammy Bakker. The once very powerful and holylike
P.T.L. fell to its ruin because of the adulterous and homosexual behavior of Jim Bakker. He admitted to these
accusations publicly, which caused Tammy to shed a lot of tears, making the mascara industry climb to unexpected
heights.
At the same popularity rate as makeup, Jessica Hahn became a public figure. Jessica was caught in the middle of
Jim Bakker's marriage and was reportedly his lover. After the scandal, Jessica Hahn felt she was stigmatized by the
interactions and decided to show what she was really made of when she revealed the "bare facts" in Penthouse
Magazine.
Back at the P.T.L., Heritage U.S.A. donations flowed like the Jordan River. Jim and Tammy, being the financial
wizards that they are, invested the profits in heated-and-air-conditioned doghouses, mascara, and exciting rides for
Heritage U.S.A.
Jerry Falwell originally introduced the scandal and eventually took over the P.T.L. after Jim Bakker stepped down
as the top money-making evangelist in the world.

�Ollie's Nightmare
The Iran-Contra hearings flooded our TV screens and newspapers as Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North too~ the
stand. He took advantage of the fifth amendment and remained silent. His job was to sell arms to Iran and divert
the funds to the Contras. He rose to fame as the loyal scout willing to take all the blame.

Black Monday
Depression and The Waltons was the conclusion everyone was jumping to when the Dow Jones industrial stock
average dropped 508 points on Monday, October 19, 1987. We called it a " crash," a " meltdown," etc. Whatever it
Was, it stripped $500 billion from the market value of U.S. Securities.

It's finally over - the endless hours of cramming for
finals, the intravenous feedings of caffeine while reading
the last few pages of Chaucer, the short-circuited brains
from loop-and-node equations. Our day is here. It's a day
that we're thankful for never again having to pull an allnighter in the computer room debugging a program. But
it's also a day to say good-bye. Many friendships have
developed on this campus over the past years, even over
cafeteria breakfasts and study sessions. It's time for us to go
our separate ways and make our marks on the world. It's
our turn to carry on the Wilkes tradition and help opportunity to take the next step - and look back with many
fond memories.

��Dedication
The Citizen's Voice called him Mr. Colonel. Dean LampeGroh referred to him as a role model. When Art Hoover
passed away suddenly on December 9, 1986, we all lost a
friend. Most of us had an occasion to see Dean Hoover at some
point during our time at Wilkes. Whether it was the "get to
know the dean" meeting during freshman year, through Student Government meetings when he was advisor, or when he
helped you with a problem, you went away with the thought
that he was a caring person who was genuinely concerned that
your stay at Wilkes be a positive experience.
Dean Hoover was very excited about becoming Dean of
Student Affairs. Who was more qualified for the job than
someone who had spent his career preparing for it? Dean
Hoover had been at Wilkes almost continuously since 1948
when he was a freshman. He served as a business and
economics professor, Director of Alumni Relations, Assistant
Dean of Student Affairs, and Associate Dean of Student Affairs before being appointed Dean of Student Affairs in June of
1986. Dean Hoover's enthusiasm for Wilkes extended to the

athletic teams, which he actively supported; at football a
basketball games, Dean Hoover often moonlighted as ~h
ticket-collector.
Dean Hoover's door was always open to students. Whtll
talked with students, he put them at ease so that they wer
intimidated by his title. His manner emphasized friend
instead of authority. Debra Pavlico, in her speech at
Hoover's memorial service, said that Hoover was ''a pal, I
you wanted to know.''
Dean Hoover was a remarkable man; he excelled not o
scholastically, but also professionally. Though he didn't
much time to shape the position of Dean of Student Affa
Dean Hoover had a positive influence on the many stu e
whose lives he touched. The greater part of Dean Hoover'
was dedicated to the College; it is only fitting
AMNICOLA 1987 be dedicated to him, a man who ga e
himself often so that we could learn to relate better to ours F
and others.

You would know the secret of death?
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the
heart of life?
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind
and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing,
but to free the breath from its restless tides,
that it may rise and expand and seek God
unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence
shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top,
then shall you begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs,
then shall you truly dance.

- Kahlil Gibran

through each other's eyes for an instant?

���A human being is a part of the whole, called by
us "Universe," a part limited in time and
space. He experiences himself, his thoughts
and feelings as something separated from the
rest - a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison
for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to
us. Our task must be to free ourselves from
this prison by widening our circle of compassion to · embrace all living creatures and the
whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able
to achieve this completely, but the striving for
such achievement is in itself a part of the
liberation and a foundation for inner security.

�Barry Drake
This year is without a doubt the year of the
coffeehouse connection. What is the coffeehouse connection? Well, it is a bond that
connects us with other college campuses across
the country, a bond that is enhanced by the
warm atmosphere of coffeehouse entertainment. Barry Drake and Mike Woods were
only two of the coffeehouse performers who
visited us this year, but they each left us with
their own unique impressions.
Barry Drake performed on Parents' Day
before a large crowd of students and an assortment of parents; his performance was
nothing less than phenomenal. Like all good
performers, Drake had a knack for reading his
audience. Among his songs were "Here,
There, and Everywhere,'' ''The Saint of South
Poughkeepsie," "Me and Julio," "Who Do
You Love?," and an original composition
called, "Grandma's Hands."

�Nightmare on Main
Street
Wanted to feel your skin crawl and smell
the stench of rotting flesh? Well, then you
must have visited the Circle K's annual haunted house, Nightmare on Main Street .
Each year, Circle K delivers the shivers, with
proceeds going, quite appropriately, to the
Red Cross, Count Dracula's favorite charity.
This year's House of Horrors continued the
tradition of excellence, bigger and better than
ever. So remember, if it's a werewolf you're
wanting, Circle K does the haunting.

The signs all around campus foretold their return, but if you
missed the signs, you should have read the T-shirts. On November 22, 1986, the Programming Board presented a gym
dance with The Touch , Long Island's pride and joy. Since their
appearance at last year's Cherry Blossom Weekend gym dance,
The Touch has become the favorite band of gym dance regulars.
We hope to see more of them in the future.

On Friday, September 26, the Programming Board presented hypnotist and ESP expert Eugene Neal a/k/a "The Astonishing
Neal." Neal strutted his scuff in a marathon
4-hour performance in a packed CPA. The
first half of Neal's show convinced us that ESP
is a reality, as we all learned the dark secret of
Millie's blind dog. And in the show's second
half, Neal merely confirmed what we already
suspected- Keith's real name is Sal, and he's
quite a gal! We would have to say, after all of
this, that Neal's performance was, of course,
astonishing.

During the weekend of November 15, a 24-hour
vigil was held on Wilkes-Barre's Public Square to
honor local POW/MIA's of the Vietnam War.
Wilkes College's ROTC detachment organized the
vigil. The vigil began Saturday evening with a
candlelight march. Sunday at noon, 118 black and
white balloons were released to symbolize the
POW/MIA's from Pennsylvania. Seven red balloons were also set free to represent those missing
from Luzerne County. Mike Balach, a Vietnam
veteran from Dallas, stayed in a bamboo cage on
Public Square throughout the vigil.

�... all our knowledge has been built up
communally; there would be no astrophysics,
there would be no history, there would not even
be language, if man were a solitary animal. It
follows that we must be able to rely on other
people; we must be able to trust their word. That
is, it follows that there is a principle which binds
society together, because without it the
individual would be helpless to tell the truth from
the false. This principle is truthfulness.

�We do not exist for ourselves (as center of the
universe), and it is only when we are fully convinced of this fact - that we begin to love
ourselves properly and thus also love others.
What do I mean by loving ourselves properly? I
mean, first of all, desiring to live, accepting
life as a very great gift and a great good, not
because of what it gives us, but because of
what it enables us to give others.

������Down how many roads among the stars must man

We have joined the caravan, you might say, at a

We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at
t e flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We
in I t on permanency, on duration, on continuity, when the only continuity possible, in

Introduction

During our lifetime, particularly as we attend college, we
each seek knowledge to "cultivate our inner resources and
spiritual strength, " which "enriches our daily lives and
sustains us in times of crisis." At the same time, we seek
truth, which leads to understanding. It is understanding,
then, which "unites us all in our search for truth." The time that we're here at Wilkes College is spent
discovering and developing the potential to succeed that is
inherent in each of us. Throughout our college experience,
we begin to realize the goals that we have set for ourselves,
no matter how insurmountable they may have seemed.
Through discipline, determination, self-confidence, and
trust in one another, we progress toward accomplishing our
goals. It is during times of prosperity that we should not
hesitate to hold out our hand to help another. And in time
of need, we should not hesitate to accept the outstretched
hand of one willing to help.
As we strive to achieve our goals, we ultimately encounter both success and failure. Discouragement often
accompanies failure. Failure often spurs motivation
because of the insight and inner strength it provides. At
Wilkes, we learn to accept the challenges that academics,
extracurricular activities, and sports offer us. By accepting
these challenges, we begin a quest into unknown areas
where only those with a desire to improve themselves dare
to venture. During our quest, we learn our limitations, and
we realize that we can always improve ourselves. In this
quest, we gain knowledge, develop teamwork, and most
importantly, because Wilkes is a small institut1on, we gain
lasting relationships that, with maturity, will stand the test
of time. It is the support afforded by our friendships that
guide us through our quest.

Introduction

�Now It's Beer (Birch) on Tap
There is an old proverb which says:

Top: AnnMarie McGowan and Terry Salak enjoy
one last fling before the new alcohol policy
becomes reality. Below: Gerry Galinus thinks
one more might be too much for Mike Robbins.
Below right: Wayne Reiss inquires about the
side effects of mixing Copenhagen and
Genesee.

" Drink today and end all sorrow,
You shall, perhaps, not do it tomorrow." Unfortunately, the 1985-86
school year put that proverb to the test.
As a result of an increased number of
alcohol-related accidents, along with a
growing national concern regarding
alcohol abuse, Wilkes College was forced to re-evaluate its alcohol policy,
which had been in effect since 1980
with only minor changes since that time.
A committee was set up to address all
sides of the problem, including some
serious legal issues.
The result? A new, three-page document clearly stating the new policy.
Among the most dramatic changes from

the old policy was the prohibition of
kegs of beer. Although that measure
may have been intended to eliminate
some legal concerns and reduce
alcohol-related injuries, it also served to
put a damper on what used to be one of
the main sources of weekend entertainment - the "dorm function ."
In response to the need for more
weekend activities, the newly-formed
programming board began its
" monumental" task of planning and
organizing various non-alcoholic functions. Although numerous activities
were organized, they apparently were
not enough to fulfill the social desires of
many individuals, who soon found
themselves facing the alcohol
disciplinary board a committee

designed to deal with serious "alcohol
policy offenders."
Is the new policy a success? At this
point, it is difficult to tell. It is true that
since the inception of the new policy
alcohol-related first aid calls are not as
frequent, and vandalism seems to be on
the decline. However, the social void
created by the policy is far from being
filled . It will take time to evaluate the
results of the new policy and perhaps
additional changes will have to be made
before a workable solution is found.
Despite this Uflcertainty, one thing is
certain - for better or for worse, social
life on campus will never be quite the
same again.

and some students that those who drink on campus tend

�To Slip the Surly Bonds of Earth ...
The image of the ten-mile high plume of white vapor
suspended in the sky over the Atlantic on January 28 is a
stark reminder of the tragic end of NASA mission 51-L. Little more than a minute into a seemingly perfect flight, the
sh uttle Challenger exploded into a bright orange fireball. In
the span of milliseconds, NASA lost seven brave astronauts
and the public lost its innocent view that spaceflight was as
routine as a bus ride.
The shuttle astronauts were not the daring military pilots
that comprised the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury space
programs. They were scientists whose goal was not to
esca pe the grip of Earth's gravity, but to discover
kn owledge that could help man improve himself and the
world.
Among the scientists was Christa McAuliffe whose goal
was "to humanize space". The first teacher to fly on a shuttle wanted to demonstrate that space was accessible to all,
not just an elite corps of pilots and scientists. She saw life as
an excitement of possiblities to be explored. Her enthus iasm and optimism endeared her to the nation,
especially schoolchildren. She represented our view of the
ideal educator. While in the shuttle, McAuliffe planned to

USA

teach two lessons which explained the functions of the
shuttle and the mission members. She viewed the
Challenger mission as the "ultimate field trip", and she
wanted children to take part in it. Her wish was to instill in
students the desire to explore and discover.
Now, the nation hopes to discover the cause of the
tragedy. If the cause is found, it may not answer the question of why the astronauts perished. It would be sad to
think that seven lives were lost because of a careless
technician, or worse, because NASA felt pressured to
launch under conditions which were less than optimal in
order to maintain an ambitious flight schedule.
Astronauts are heroes because of their courage to enter
their profession in spite of the tremendous risk of death.
Christa McAuliffe didn't consider herself an extraordinary
person because of what she was about to do. She saw
herself as an ordinary teacher who had a chance to do
something worthwhile for America's future generations.
Though the mission was not successful, Christa McAuliffe
inspired students of all ages and millions of others with her
courage and her hope for the future of mankind.

Wilkes-Barre,
a City of Diversity

J/1

Students at Wilkes College can partake in a variety of activities within the
course of a day, ranging from a morning
stroll along the dike to an evening performance of a Shakespearean play.
The Wilkes-Barre area offers a
multitude of different functions for
students, all relatively close to the campus. If shopping is your bag, Public
Square is surrounded by numerous
boutiques and shops catering to
students' individual tastes. Of course,
there is Boscov's, the hub of style and
selection for students with a wide range
of budgets. A short bus trip away is the
Wyoming Valley Mall which houses
several large department stores Hess's, Pomeroy's, Sears, and J.C. Penney's - and also specialty shops like La
Cucina Splendida, an Italian food store;
Design Galleries, for the art collector;
The Rainbow Shop, which sells personalized items; Something Different, a
leather goods shop; Prints and Things,
for paintings and posters of all kinds;
Lady Oris, a hosiery store; Waldenbooks, an impressive book store; and
most recently, From Dawn 'til Dusk, for
high-priced eveningwear. There are also
several restaurants in the Mall, such as
Elby's; Barrels, Whiskey, and Rye;
Dino's Pizza; and Peking Chef. Finally,

the Mall contains seven cinemas.
For the over-21 crowd, Wilkes-Barre
has plenty of "hot spots" to hit. The Station and The Woodlands are two of the
more popular dance club/resta'urants in
the area, catering to both those who like
to boogie and those who prefer to
watch . For those students who prefer to
just sit around and have a few,
Donahue's and The Carey Inn are
renowned for their comfortable
atmospheres.
For the theatre lover, Wilkes-Barre is a
great place to experience. In addition to
Wilkes-King's theatre productions,
Wilkes-Barre also offers the Showcase
Theatre and The Little Theatre. These
companies have many productions
throughout the year. Music lovers not
only have the opportunity to attend fine
concerts held by Wilkes performing
groups, but they can also attend concerts by the Northeast Philharmonic,
held during the year. Those who love
dance can attend the performances of
Wilkes-Barre's two talented ballet companies, Ballet Northeast and the
Wilkes-Barre Ballet Company.
Wilkes-Barre has just about
everything the college student could
need.

�The Ha01rner is
Cocked for Fun

Clockwise from above: Tony DiMichele comes eye to eye
with his target, John Rosania. Wounded Tony DiMichele
hangs on for dear life. To achieve his objective, Todd
Culver learns how to use his gun. John Rosania can't miss
his target as he aims with precision. Paul Tomcykoski keeps
his cool even in the most desperate of situations.

The place - Pickering Hall. The time - 12 midnight.
The air is still, but the all-too-familiar stench of the
cafeteria's world-renowned baked whitefish still lingers in
the building from dinner. For the most part, the residents of
Pickering are in their rooms studying or sleeping. All is quiet
- too quiet.
Hidden by the innocence of this situation, an incredible
evil is lurking in the dimly lit corridors. No, it's not an illegal
keg party. Nor is it a couple of students contemplating the
use of an extension cord over 6 ft. in length - an item
strictly forbidden by the Residence Hall handbook. This
evil is even more serious. This evil ... is murder.
Covered with sweat and breathing heavily, the victim tiptoes down one of the hallways. Ahead, near the inter-dorm
phone, stands the murderer. His hands hold the gun tightly
as his target approaches. As soon as the victim is within
range, the murderer leaps out, aims, and fires. A direct hit!
The poor victim falls to the ground as the assailant laughs
hysterically at a job well done. On the floor, the victim pulls
the plastic suction-cup dart from his forehead, stands up,
and walks away.
While this scenario may sound more like an episode of
the Twilight Zone than an average night in a dormitory,
scenes like that actually occurred quite often this year.
They were all part of The Assassination Game (T.A.G.), a
game which made its appearance in several movies over
the summer and quickly became a fad at campuses all over
the country.
Participants in the game draw names from a hat. The
name one draws is the person one must "kill" with a plastic
dart gun. The object, obviously, is to be the last one alive.
The game itself can last a few hours or a few days, and involve any number of people. Although the administration
"shot down" attempts to organize a campus-wide T.A.G.
game, several dorms and groups of friends played on their
own.
What is the fascination with the game? Perhaps it was the
"thrill of the hunt". Perhaps it was simply the need for the
diversion from studies. Or perhaps it was in part a reaction
to the more serious wave of "real" terrorism that was occurring all over the world during 1985-86.
Whatever the fascination, T.A.G., like all fads, went just
as fast as it came. As Wilkes students search for a new
diversion, their plastic dart guns are tossed aside to join the
ranks of the Rubik's cube, the pet rock, and the hula hoop.

�The Hammer is
Cocked for Fun

Clockwise from above: Tony DiMichele comes eye to eye
with his target, John Rosania. Wounded Tony DiMichele
hangs on for dear life. To achieve his objective, Todd
Culver learns how to use his gun. John Rosania can't miss
his target as he aims with precision . Paul Tomcykoski keeps
his cool even in the most desperate of situations.

The place - Pickering Hall. The time - 12 midnight.
The air is still, but the all-too-familiar stench of the
cafeteria' s world-renowned baked whitefish still lingers in
the building from dinner. For the most part, the residents of
Pickering are in their rooms studying or sleeping. All is quiet
-too quiet.
Hidden by the innocence of this situation, an incredible
evil is lurking in the dimly lit corridors . No, it's not an illegal
keg party. Nor is it a couple of students contemplating the
use of an extension cord over 6 ft. in length - an item
strictly forbidden by the Residence Hall handbook. This
evil is even more serious. This evil ... is murder.
Covered with sweat and breathing heavily, the victim tiptoes down one of the hallways. Ahead, near the inter-dorm
phone, stands the murderer. His hands hold the gun tightly
as his target approaches. As soon as the victim is within
range, the murderer leaps out, aims, and fires. A direct hit!
The poor victim falls to the ground as the assailant laughs
hysterically at a job well done. On the floor, the victim pulls
the plastic suction-cup dart from his forehead, stands up,
and walks away.
While this scenario may sound more like an episode of
the Twilight Zone than an average night in a dormitory,
scenes like that actually occurred quite often this year.
They were all part of The Assassination Game (T.A.G.), a
game which made its appearance in several movies over

�''Unity Amidst
Diversity'':
We Do Have a Mission
"Unity amidst diversity" - this is one of many Wilkes
mottoes. During this year, the concepts of unity and diversity may have been frequently in our thoughts, especially
with the adoption of the new Mission Statement. According
to this document, it is our mission to celebrate the goal of
"unity amidst diversity." Before we can celebrate, we must
first see if there is a reason to do so; we must examine this
goal more closely. Have we reached it? Are we approaching it? Or has the concept of "unity amidst diversity"
lost meaning here at Wilkes?
We can safely say that there is diversity here at Wilkes.
Our students, faculty, and administrators have a wide range
of political, social, and ethnic beliefs. We have our own
ways of accomplishing our goals, and this is what makes life
on this campus interesting. However, lately it seems our
diverse beliefs and lifestyles are creating unnecessary friction. It seems that open-mindedness has disappeared. Even
those who once claimed to be liberal in thought have turned their backs on respecting beliefs that are not their own.
"Unity amidst diversity" is a phenomenon that we have
not experienced in this, our mission year. There are glimpses of unity, like those we captured if we attended the Annual International Night, but such opportunities are few
and too ephemeral to prompt change. However, glimpses
such as this are our hope, and hope is something we must
not lose. We, at Wilkes, have the raw materials that are
necessary for the journey toward true unity, but we have
yet to purchase tickets.

Introduction

�Style is Character
It's Fresh * Relaxed * Free-spirited. It's a loose, provocative feeling that can take you from the books to
the streets in a flash! The basic pieces are simple big sweaters and cotton separates - but just add bold
earrings, a crazy hat, or a pair of Kool Kat shades, and
you've turned simple into sensational.
Style is character. It's Dash * Splash * Flash *
Panache. A sense of style is not something you can
learn like an academic subject. It does take a learning
process, but it's much like a brewing process. In order
to make a good shake, one has to put in good ingredients and let them ferment in the barrel; to have a
sense of style is to be able to see the invisible.
Here's the lowdown on the latest details:
- those basic blue cotton denims are now fancier,
with the spice of detailed
tapestry work, florals, paisleys, and rhinestones rich in color and intricacy.
- Ivy-league vests look sensational on-campus.
- Creating a stir ... today's arrow-narrow stirrup
pants attract lots of
attention with body hugging
stretch fit.
- Body-conscious knits - the shape of things to
come.
- Nice Catch! Sweaters patterned all over with a
school of tropical fish.
- Tropic-topic on palmy T's and shorts.
- Abstract art comes into the fashion picture.
- The sash is a smash.
- Flats add a simple flair to your casual mood .
Remember, neat and simple doesn't mean boring
or preppie. You don't need to overdo to make a statement. Rules have eased or ceased to exist - it's how
you want to feel and how you want to express
yourself that count. The way you dress is an extension
of your personality. Don' t play it safe - take chances!

�Seniors
The senior year - the end of one life and
the beginning of another. It's a moment in
the flow of eternity, yet an indispensable
one. As seniors, we choose a direc;tion for
the future, and we also prepare for the
accompanying transition. The need for
preparation is what makes the senior year
unique. We have lived; we have learned; we
have dreamed. Instilled with the knowledge
we have gained at Wilkes, we graduate and
turn our dreams into reality, realizing that
our education has not ended, but has only
just begun.

�Fall Events
Fall is a beautiful and inspiring time of year
at Wilkes; everything seems to indicate
change. Everyone returns to campus with a
mind full of energy and hope for the
semester. "This semester will be the best
ever" is the consensus. We vow to attend
every class, party moderately, and not get
behind on our reading. Even the trees on
campus promise change - from green to
red to gold to brown. If only we could be
like the trees - keeping promises of
change.

�Convocation

During activity period on Thursday, August 29, 1985, the
entire college community was called into Convocation to
open the fifty-third academic year of Wilkes College. A
new feature of this year's opening Convocation was that
the Freshman Class took part in the procession and were
seated in a reserved area. Faculty and administration also
marched in procession, and all offices of the College were
closed so everyone could participate. President Breiseth
welcomed the new freshmen and wished the entire
assembly best wishes for the 1985-1986 academic year.

This year, Wilkes' Freshman Orientation program underwent some major changes . The
orientation was held in four small groups during
the summer months instead of one large program at the beginning of the fall semester, as had
been the case in past years. All incoming
students, both residents and commuters, stayed
in Evans Hall for the duration of the program.
These "orientees" spent two days meeting with
advisors, setting up class schedules, listening to
orientation speeches by faculty and administration, and trying to learn their way around campus. Not all was work; however, a scavenger
hunt, a dance, a picnic, and a bus tour of
Wilkes-Barre were planned to help the students
get to know one another and their "new home."
All of this was organized to aid in the Freshman's
quest for higher education, independence, and
maturity.

�Ghouls Gather at
Halloween Gala

Gouls and goblins certainly didn't scare

away the bunnies at this gym party. This
year' s Halloween party turned out to be a
great success despite it being the first gym
party at which alcohol was prohibited . The
attempts to get students to boycott this
" dry" event were fruitless . Those students
who attended realized that the purpose
behind any social function isn't to drink but
to enjoy meeting and being with friends .
Everyone was amused by the wide range of
creative costumes from the bunch of grapes
to the bushy, white-tailed creatures which
darted about the dance floor.

�Bonfire Warms
Hontecoming Spirit

The air was electric with the chants of
friends rallying behind the Homecoming
Court nominees. As students and some
faculty filtered into the Ralston Field
parking lot, the air turned hot with the
blaze of the bonfire and the voices of
students eager to get the weekend
festivities underway. The Homecoming
Weekend bonfire proved to be one of
the most spirited events of the year.
Dean Ralston led the traditional
Gooooo-Wilkes! cheer, the Wilkes
cheerleaders gave a high energy performance, and the crowd broke into a frenzy of applause as the 1985 Homecoming Court was announced. The Court included: Sue Cicilioni, Beth Cortez, Sandy Cohn, Joe Fulco, Dave Hudak, and
Neal McHugh.

�Colonels Rally

Carlin Captivates Crowd
"Did you ever go through the refrigerator and come
across something that you cannot identify? Could be meat,
could be cake. It's meat-cake.
Then you ask the wife, 'Honey, is this good?'
And she says, 'Well, what is it?'
And you say, 'I don't know. I've never seen anything like
it. Looks like meat-cake.'
And then she says, 'Well, smell it. '
You say, 'Actually, it has no smell whatsoever.'
She says, 'It's good. Put it back. Somebody's saving it."'
Where would you hear this comedy routine? On an
album, you'd probably say, or maybe on a cable TV special.
But this year, you could have heard comedy routines such
as this right here at Wilkes when comedian George Carlin
appeared before a full house in the gym on October 24.
Before an enthusiastic crowd of approximately 1,800
people, Carlin presented new material as well as old
favorites such as the famous - and greatly expanded list of "seven words you can't say on television."
Wilkes' Student Government, in conjunction with Parties
Unlimited, brought Carlin to the college, giving us both a
top comedian and a break from studying, because,
"Sometimes a little brain damage can help."

�Club Day

Computer Fair
On September 10th and 11th, Wilkes hosted an Apple Macintosh Fair in the lobby of Stark Learning Center. The event was
coordinated by Dr. John Koch, Director of Academic Computing
at Wilkes. During the two-day Fair, students were introduced to
some of the popular software that is available with the Macintosh.
A representative from Apple Computers,Harry Vitale, allowed
students to experiment with such "Mac-options" as MacDraw,
MacDraft, Jazz, Excell, and also the popular Thunderscan
digitizer, which converts video camera pictures into computerized images.
The purpose of the Mac Fair was not only to familiarize students
with Macintosh software, but it also gave them an opportunity to
purchase hardware at significantly reduced prices. The Macintosh
has become as familiar to students at Wilkes as pens and pencils;
the scheduling of the Mac Fair confirms this.

gave students a chance to take their

Amnicola photographers J.B . Earl and
John Sedor. Although some students
had to be coaxed into snapping their
own pictures, others couldn't wait to
strut their stuff for the camera' s eye. The
results? Picture perfect!

The classroom is not the only place where
students can receive an education.
Membership in a club br organization
allows us to learn more about ourselves and
the world around us. When individuals are
united by common interests, their successes
are two-fold, and the spirit that is
manifested is a welcome contagion. At
Wilkes, spirit is tradition. In this, our
mission year, we cherish our tradition of
spirit and commit ourselves to carrying it
forth.

�Winter Events
There's something awe-inspiring about a
moonlit walk across our campus in the winter;
it could be the silence of the fluffy crystalline
flakes that blanket the walkways; it could be
the "I think I hear sleigh bells" feeling in the
air; it could be frostbite numbing the brain
that hasn't begun to prepare for tomorrow's
chemistry test. Whatever the magic of winter
is, Wilkes students seem to make the most of
it. But perhaps, too, we cherish winter in
anticipation, modifying in our minds that old
adage, "If Winter comes, can Spring Break be
far behind?"

�Who's Who
Annuallly a selection committee at
Wilkes College nominates an assigned
quota of outstanding campus leaders for
the Who's Who Among Students in
American Universities and Colleges
Award. As most Wilkes' leaders know,
they must do most of the work that is involved in planning and carrying out
campus activities. National recognition
by the Who's Who program marks a
pinnacle of scholastic achievement.
Selections are based on decidedly
above average academic standing, community service, leadership ability and
potential for continued success. Over
the past fifty years more than 1500 colleges have adopted this program as part
of their annual campus honors. These
students have their many accomplishments presented in the 1986
edition of WHO'S WHO AMONG

STUDENTS IN AMERICAN
UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.

�Sports
Whether it's on a grid iron, a soccer field, or
a tennis court, one characteristic is inherent
in every athlete, the desire for victory.
Before victory can be achieved though,
teamwork and faith in your teammates'
abilities must be developed. As an athlete,
one requires a certain physical and
psychological confrontation with pain
which can be rarely avoided. The true test
of any athlete is accepting and learning
from the pain of defeat. Failure motivates
us to build endurance, courage, and selfconfidence. Victory is great, but defeat
makes us realize that we can be better.

The Lady Colonels struggled throughout the year against one of the
strongest schedules in their history. Wilkes played six nationally
ranked teams sometime during the season, including defending national champion Bloomsburg University.
Offensively, the Lady Colonels were led by Yvonne Pierman,
who recorded six goals and two assists on the season. Goalkeeper
Margo Serafini had a fine year, setting a single game school record
for most saves against Bloomsburg University (38). Senior Alysse
Croft was selected to the MAC All-star team.
With a young squad, the Lady Colonels will return many veterans
next season and look for much better things in 1986.

�Cross Country
The Wilkes harriers enjoyed a very successful season despite
having a below .500 dual mark. The Colonels produced a 5th
place finish at the Middle Atlantic Championships behind the
strong running of senior George Hockenbury (6th) and junior
Mike Keohane (13th). The fifth place finish marks the highest
finish in the school's history and enabled the harriers to participate in the Regional Championships.
Kvashay loses Hockenbury to graduation but returns a
strong nucleus lead by Keohane for next season's action.

�Early Wins Raise High Hop
■

With 31 returning letterman, the
Colonels began the 1985 football
season with an optimistic outlook.
Optimism mounted for the Colonels
after the first game of the season as
they defeated Lebanon Valley by an
impressive 46-0 blowout. Quaterback Brad Scarborough passed for
201 yards with sophomore Tony
DiGrazia leading all the Colonel
receivers with 6 receptions for 91
yards and 2 touchdown receptions .
For the first time since the 1973
season, the Colonels came out on
top, winning their first two games.
The Colonels defeated the Upsala
Vikings in a hard-fought 25-14 victory. During this game, the Wilkes
defense was an asset, setting up many
of the scoring plays.
Optimism slackened after the third
game as the Colonels suffered their
first loss of the season. Although both
teams' defenses played extremely
well, the Lycoming Warriors offense
played tough and defeated the Colonels, 27-3.
The quest for victory continued as
the Colonels came up against the
Susquehanna Crusaders in the annual
Homecoming game. The crusaders

held the up per hand in the beginning
of the game. The Wilkes defense was
stingy, which aided the Colonels in
gaining a 7-6 half-time lead. Brad
Scarborough hit both Courtney
McFarlain and Jon Smith, who ran in
touchdown passes rallying the · Colonels to victory over the Crusaders .
In the sixth game of the season, the

Senior Keith Conlon is exuberant as the Colonels put
six more on the board.

Colonels ventured into Indian territory and suffered their worst loss to
Juniata. The Colonels regained th eir
spirit as they defeated the Albright

Wilkes 33, Albright 23. Durin g thi~

eager to tan in the Wilkes tradition - by
laying out on the River's banks from the day
after the winter thaw until the end of finals.
The joy of Spring is evident on the face of
any Wilkes student who survives Spring
Break, returning from the heat of Florida in
time to catch the first warm breezes of the
season back at school.

�Administration/Faculty
An educated man or woman, we are told,
"possesses vision, for we know that vision
precedes all great attainments." As
students, we should ask ourselves where we
can obtain "vision." The poet Kahlil Gibran
writes, "The vision of one man lends not its
wings to another man." At Wilkes,
however, facuity and administrators
continually strive to lend their vision to us
and to each other. As students of the
College, we have an obligation to open our
hearts, minds, and souls to the visions so
eagerly placed before us.

Education at Wilkes doesn't stop when
students leave the classroom. Residence life is
a learning experience in itself. The knowledge
that we gain in living and communicating
with our peers is invaluable. Dorm parties,
Thursday night poker games, and late night
conversations - what better way to
understand the differing perspectives of life
that people have? As we continue our journey
through life, we will often reflect upon our
experiences in our "home away from home"
and realize that our lives have been enriched
in many ways.
