MAD RAMBLIN'S by Lee Scott Morrell Guess what folks, I didn't catch a taping of the trash TV show. I went Lo two tapings. And you know what, I learned a whole lot about something. I haven't figured out exactly what I've learned, but I have learned something. During the same couple of days as the Geraldo tapings, I also got to hear an address delivered by Phil Donohue. Kids, have you ever heard the expression "different as night and day."? "Day" Donohue, meet "Night" Rivera. Forget Day, let's focus on the Night. The Geraldo show was a mixture of Arsenio (sans the barking) and The National Enquirer. The topic of the first show was "the right to die," or in its more common form, Euthanasia. Forgive me for my naivete, but when I see the word "euthanasia", I expect to hear from 90-year olds who want the plug pulled when they can no longer fend for themselves. I was not prepared for Rich the "AIDS Mercy Killer," Gary the AIDS sufferer and Stephanie, the pre-operative transsexual who is unable to handle the pressure and would like to take her own life. On the same panel was a couple who represented another side of prematurely pulling the plug. The woman was in a coma for 40 days when her husband went to court to legally end life-support. The judge denied it and, miraculously, a week later, the woman woke up. The husband said he would still do the same thing in the same circumstance. So much for 20/20 hind sight Speaking of 20/20, remember when Geraldo was a real journalist? What happened? He is now hosting suicidal transsexuals and dog owners - accompanied by their puppies - telling us of the horrors of puppy breeding farms. Hey, the guy does what he does. I can't knock him for that.

Prepare to ·cruise! �PAGE 3 If it's 'broke' then fix it, Wilkes A reasonable person once said, "If it's not broke, don' t fix iL" This person was obviously not referring to Wilkes however, where unnecessary "fixing" seems to be the norm. The most recent example of !his occurred Thursday night to myself and the other members of Slocum and Doane Halls. Resident's Life has decided to change these halls into 24-hour quiet dorms with strict visitation rules. The basic ... . message to us was "Abide by the new rules or get ouL" Resident's Life wants us to do the latter. There are currently two round-the-clock quiet hour dorms on campus, and hte school plans on opening a third in the fall. Is there· such a huge demand for this type of dungeon dorm that Slocum and Doane are also needed? I doubt it. But the Resident's Life Office thinks otherwise, basing their decision on two questions from the RL student surveys completed early last se- . mestcr. It would seem to me that these surveys simply convey the feeling of not liking one's roommate, instead of the diesire to live in a college run prison. It's not fair to make us give up our homes to satisfy a very small number of student masochists, when there are other options available. Itis simply another instance of the Wilkes bureaucracy dictating its will , and hte resident studnets having to suffer with it.

These different pieces spoke about the mess the downtown appears to be in. The vacant storefronts. The "for sale" signs. The "going out of business" signs. The litter that inundates the Public Square. Let's be honest folks, the place is a serious mess. And litter isn't confined just to the downtown area any more. It's spreading to the campuses of Wilkes-Barre's two institutes of higher learning . .Wilkes and King's are beginning to look like giant trash bins. Doesn't anyone care anymore? We are all .so wrapped up in our own little worlds that tossing our Twix. wrappers into the street is just second nature. On a recent trip to New York a friend remarked - in the form of a joke - about the carelessness of the natives. It made me think about our dilemma. He said, "How can you tell the difference between a native New Yorker and a visitor? We hit the garbage can." On the same trip, we passed through Scranton. We both remarked at what a beautiful downtown, and city for that matter, Scranton is becoming. As we passed the downtown storefronts, many of which were empty, my friend told me about the_impending "Downtown Mall" project. ~t is slated to break ground anytime soon and will cover three blocks. It is expected to fill those empty storefronts and create serious business for the city as well as competition for the malls that are out of town. We are in a city that is like a coin balancing on its side. Depending on the direction of the wind, we could fall into the fate of New York or Scranton. It i~ up to us to decide which way the wind blows. o, how d9es this whole problem effect you, the Wilkes student? What can you do to stem the tide of a dirty, dying downtown/city getting worse? Where do you fit in? Glad you asked. . . It's our tum to issue a challenge to you, the students of Wilkes University. We challenge you to get off your butts and do something about the mess . When you see a paper on the ground, pick it up and toss it in t}:le closest can . If you see someone else tossing trash on the ground, get involved. Give them a piece of your mind. The only way we can become a sparkling jewel is to-polish, not allow to tarnish. And if we, the students of Wilkes University, begin to polish our jewel, will the citizens of our fair metropolis begin to do the same? Who knows? That's not for us to worry about, at this point. But maybe, just maybe, when the citizens S\'!e what we are trying to do. The care we are beginning to take. The love we are showing our nine-month home-away-from-home.

It is a timely issue since all communities il'l Pennsylvania with more than 5,000 people must have recycling programs in place by 1991. Speakers for the symposium include Mark Carmon, Regional Coordinator for the state Department of Environmental Resources; ·Frank Chatwick and Joyce Hatala, Recycling Coordinators for Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties; John Bergold, Wilkes-Barre's· Recy_cling Coordinator; Tom Winter, Penn State-Lehman's recycling director; and Pat Lavalle of Waste Management, Inc., a Scranton recycling business. Kathy Harris, a senior Communications major, will moderate. Elaine 1\veedy, President of the League of Women Voters of the Wilkes-Barre area, will give introductory remarks. According to Tweedy, the League has made a commitment to "promoting public participation in environmental decision-making, and to supporting measures to encourage waste reduction and recycling." Tweedy was very pleased when she was approached by the Wilkes students inviting the League to co-sponsor the program. While the League is an active political lobbying force for recycling and other environmental issues, students in the communications class who are organizing the symposium have more personal reasons for getting involved. Harris got involved "because I have a four year old son, I am very concerned about his future." Another member of the organizing group hopes Wilkes will take a leadership role because "many Wilkes students would like to see recycling become a reality on campus as soon as possible". In addition to Harris, other students who are organizing the event are Scott Barth, Kristine Bauer, Tom Doughty, John Gordon, Krista Gromalski, and Jerry Hoffman. Following comments from the panelists, invited members of local municipalities, campuses and community groups will ask questions about Act 101, the state recycling law. A display area in the lobby outside Stark 101 will include materials and information about what is recyclable. The DER has also provided several.in-home recycling kits. The public is invited to the symposium and a special segment has been set aside for Wilkes students to ask questions about recycling on campus. Come to the symposium on April 2 and learn about the recycling law and how it affects you.

Dunbar, Director of Policy, Planning and Research with the.Pennsylvania Department of Aging will be the keynote speaker for a public discussion on elder care on April 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Stark 101. This will be the fourth public discussion presented by the Group Discussion class and sponsored by the Department of Communication. Wilkes students are urged to attend the program which deals with the issue of how the aging of America affects today's young people. · Topics to be addressed by Dunbar include demographic analysis of aging in Pennsylvania, state programs for improving the quality of life for senior citizens, and how aging affects today's young people. · Dunbar, who has over 15 years of experience in administering federal and state programs for the elderly, is responsible for overseeing the development of the Stale Aging Plan. He also manages a program of research and demonstration grants, and inter-governmental planning and policy development. He received his Master's in Public Administration for the Center for Studies in Aging at North Texas State University. Following the presentation by Dunbar, a panel discussion with the following invited participants will take place: Dr. Ann Kolanowski, Chair of the Department of Nursing at Wilkes; Mrs. Jane Huey of Kingston, who is familiar with in-home care for elderly relatives; and PA Representative Stanley J. Jarolin (D-119thdistrict), whoison the PA House Committee on Youth and Aging. The Luzerne County Bureau on Aging has also been invited. Teresa Herman, a junior Communications major, will moderate the program. Herman became interested in the issue of elder care when she researched a persuasive speech on the subject for the Speech Team. She, and six other members of the Group Discussion class who organized the program, feel students must become aware of the complex issue of elder care. According to Herman, "We all have relatives and friends who will need our emotional and financial support as they age. It is important to begin planning now." Members of the class who organized the elder care program and arranged for the keynote speaker include Herman; Brian Curran, Shelly Gardner, Matt Hanlon, Barb Jamelli, Erin Kinney, and Laurie Tappan. ~!!~:tts to celebrat~lem~ wi~~t!2ons~~E!,K.ped~~~~ Beacon Staff Writer established between• local citizen's groups and American and Soviet environmentalists.

The set was fabulous. There is no other way to describe it. It took up a substantial portion of the auditorium, with two balconies from which people were able to speak their lines. Because of the ingenious design of the set, the performers were given no less than five entrances from where they could appear. The blocking was both exciting and innovative. Some things that were thrilling to see were: - Grumio delivering lines from within a trunk, popping his head up, jack-in-the-box style, to say his bit. - Katherine tearing the arms from her sister's teddy bear as a means of torture. - The interesting embrace of Lucentio and Bianca. My only complaints with the show were entirely of an interpretational manner. For example, to make the play fit the time schedule, numerous lines were cut or changed. The one interpretation that caused some concern but proved to be right on the mark was the time setting of the show. Although a Shakesperean piece, this version of The Taming of the Shrew, was set in the 1950's. This offered a looser interpretation of some lines which led, at times, to something akin to vulgarity (for example, the afore mentioned embrace between Lucentio and Bianca). Overall, it was an enjoyable evening of theatre for all who were able to get in to see the production. There was some difficulty for those who failed to reserve a seat, since most nights were sold out performances. Not too shabby for Shakespeare in Wilkes-Barre. �PAGE6 MARCH 29, 1990 CON- Where can we learn some Germa WEST BERLIN - Not many situations can make a group of ten university students feel totally inadequate and unable to use the intellect they rely on to get through four years of school. How 'bout being thrust into the heart of Germany for three weeks with little knowledge of the German language? Yeah, that's definitely one. "They (the Germans) had an advantage because we were on their turf," said professor Tom Nelson. "But the advantage works both ways. Even though they were speaking our language - English - for us, they couldn't use their native German. In that sense, we were on top." The German university students that accompanied us to the media outlets offered a supreme service by filling in the blanks about such things as the political lines drawn in a Berlin television newsroom and the lack of women writers in the Axel Springer publishing company. "When I got to Berlin, it blew my mind how politics crept into every aspect of life," said Todd Werner. "I didn't have an understanding of what was behind that. The private conversations with the students really opened my eyes." But, the mingling with the students did have a darker side which was fostered by the language gap and a shortage of time. Statements made by the students deali11g with the superiority of the German university system and media struck a strange chord in us. "We don't know what kind of students we met with," said John McLaughlin. "It's hard to judge their level. _It's almost impossible to know if they're telling the truth. Even though they spoke English, we couldn't probe much further." "We really couldn't fight with people," said Vaughn Shinkus with a laugh. "We would be standing there on the street and someone would apparently cursing in German and you didn't know how to retaliate. "But, we had it a lot better than Germans would have if they came to the United States. We don't speak German. We lucked out in that sense."· Ruth Soderberg remembers funny experience that was the result of immersing herself in a language. "When I got back to the United States, I found myself walking into a deli and pointing at something," she said. "Then I realized I could speak English. nowing know ai aginable ADJ a This sign was one thing we could understand Students direct the show tbn ·ng l Good ca ee ain't "I felt pretty illiterate walking into a and not being able to read a menu."

For new Wilkes head tennis coach Chris Creegan, this year's experience will be ber first as a mentor. She goes into it with the hopes of making it stay in her mind with her first toy and her first day of school. "This is my first coaching job," Creegan said. "Coach (Doris) Saracino called me and asked me if I would be interested in the job. I was excited because I thought about it last year." Last year, Creegan was a senior psychology major at none other than Wilkes. She was the team's number one singles player throughout her four years. Currently, she is employed by Allied Services in Scranton, but remains very active in the game. Just this past summer, Creegan was part of a women's team from Kirby Park that placed fourth in a national tournament in Miami, Florida. On that team, she played number one doubles. . Creegan also has taught indoor tennis at the Kingston Recreational Center as well as in the Lackawanna County Tennis Program. But this spring, she is concentrating her efforts on the Lady Colonels tennis squad, a squad that so far has Creegan feeling pleased. "Right now, we're going through challenge matches and we are looking pretty good, especially since we've only been practicing for three weeks," said Creegan. "I think we have a positive attitude and we will take the season one step at a time." Creegan is getting a positive review from her players. For the most part, the players are more than happy with their new coach and the job she has done thus far. . "Chris knows all the ropes," said senior captain Stacey Symecko. "She has been here before and she knows most of the players from the other teams. Plus, she's a great player herself. I've really learned a lot from her." "Chris is a good coach and she's young enough to be able to relate to us," said junior Amy Schukis. If the team is to have a good showing,, Creegan will need consistent play from both · Symecko and Schukis. "Stacey has a really good baseline game," Creegan said. "She should be a good first or second player for us and she's our captain. The only thing she needs to do is work on her mental game. If she does that, she should be a good player for us this year." Symecko, whose preference is doubles, could be one of the team's top forces. "I like to play doubles but when I do play singles, it's a baseline game," said Symecko. As for Schukis, Creegan cites a positive attitude as one of her greatest attributes. "Amy has been working really hard to be the number one player. It's something she really wants." "I like to play very agressive, trying to attack the net," · Schukis said. "I like to end the point quickly instead of rallying." Both Symecko and Schukis are confident the team will have a good showing. "I hope we can have a good showing and work together as a team," said Symecko. "I think we will be OK, I really do. Hopefully, we will beat King's. They are the team we really want to beat." "We are a young team and we lack experience, but we should be able to hold our own," said Schukis. The team also has· seven other members who will be called upon to perform throughout the season. Meg Fallin is a freshman who Creegan says is rather new to the sport and could pay dividends to the team down the road. "Meg has been working pretty hard in practice and she could turn out to be a good player down the road," said Creegan. Michele Bannon, a junior, is one player who could add experience to the Lady Colonels lineup. "Michelle has experience and has improved throughout her career here at Wilkes," Creegan said. "She could be an important player for us." Allyson Manning and Shannon Hicks are two young players who will be competing for a spot in the first six, along with Kelly Erickson, who looks like a strong singles player. Two upperclassmen, Deb Erdner and Melinda Comfort, have walked on for the first time. "Deb is a surprise player. She's a good athelete. I didn't expect her to be this good of a tennis player," said Creegan. "Melinda has great enthusiasm and an excellent attitude." The Lady Colonels will open their season with a match against Lycoming College Monday at 3 p.m. in Kirby Park. "I have a real positive attitude about the season," Creegan said. "I think we will do better than people expect." Whinney learnin to play and stud by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor e effort tc e deep, de faculty, ru e did find . WILKES-BARRE - To many, he may seem cocky. After all, people don't take kindly to someone who speaks in to high self-praise. 'Tm an overachiever," Robb Whinney says. "I always have been: Before dismissing Whinney as a blowhard, take a look a collegiate lifestyle. He carries 33 credits this semester. And, he tennis. Not too shabby, eh? Maybe a little crazy, but Whinney has a for his madness. The blueprint is simple - receive a degree in bi from Wilkes in May after two short years, move on to Haverford C for a master's in biology and a degree in philosophy, then proc medical school to begin the process to becoming a practicing surgeai. Whew. Oh, by the way, after medical school, Whinney plans to law degree. Just for the hell of it. "This is the way I always thought," he said. "I always wanted everything. You make your sacrifices to get where you want to go. "Too many students are here at Wilkes for sports first, school That's not the way I am." How does tennis manage to fit into Whinney's plans? Quite thank you. "It keeps me sane," Whinney said. "Last year, I didn't seriously. This year, it's totally different. I enjoy it. I'm out there reason." Whinney remembered that after reading a 1't>ok by Confucius o summer. "I lost track of that reason last year," he said. "But I realized just the racket, the ball and me out there. Everything else has to away." Tennis wasn't always so fun, however. "I've been playing since I could remember," said Whinney. 'I taking lessons every day, spending my whole summer playing w friends were doing other things. I was burned out when I was 12." But the fire is back. "Wilkes has a better team," says Whinney, who plays numbel singles and forms the top doubles team with Doug Meade. "We chance to do something this year." But academic pursuits will always take top priority for Whinney, hopes to one day be the headmaster of a school. "I wish people would go to school for the sake of learning ins something else," he said.

Hogan is expected to take over at the P1L mm1stnes as head evangelist. · In an equally shocking move, WWF president Jack Tunney announced that Wilkes University senior Steve Schannauer has been selected to rclpace the Hulkster in the Main Event against the Ultimate Warrior. "Schannauer represents to u everything a heavyweight wrestler should be," said Tunney. "We were waiting for the right time to introduce Stevie to the ring and Wrestlemania VI is the perfect vehicle for this introduction." . "Thunderbolt" Schannauer and his manager "Diamond" John Reese will officially gain possession of Hogan's belt tomorrow at a press conference for the Sunday match. "I just hope I'm not letting down all my little Hulkamaniacs. but I heard a higher calling," said Hogan. "I just want all the boys an? g1~ls to continue saying their prayers, eating their vitamins and pumping iron. One day they may have 24-inch pythons like these," he said with a flex. · "Just as I would tear apart Hulk Hogan, I will disarm the Thunderbolt," said an over-confident Warrior. · Schannauer remained quietly confident a?out how h.e felt about this latest honor. "This buries the NCAA tournament," he said. "Hell, Robert Goulet will be singing the National Anthem. That's no knock on Gina Lupini, but this is Goulet for God's sake." Following Wrestlemania, Thunderbolt will tour with Reese and new tag-team partner, the formerly retired Jesse "the Body" Ventura. a e of appr< ·t1ed, "Pa ntral Ame1 Dorothy D da40 , 1989 , 1990 questio cy and about ths after; s of bein the maj Noriega · on the � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
