This one, intended primarily for perusal by the Post Office, will determine whether or not our second-class mailing privilege will withstand the change. A writer in the AAC NEWS, bi-monthly publication of the American Alumni Council, submits a newsletter of the sort we mention "would be acceptable to alumni bodies." We await your reaction. ' NEW HANDS AT THE HELM I I Names of Association officers for 1953 were announced by retiring president Dan Williams, BUJC '44, at the Christmas dance, a whopping success in the Manfield Ballroom, Wilkes-Barre, December 26.

But we've got to make a beginning. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS , C°llege library staff apparently knew what it eep Kirby Hall open throughout most of the Christmas was doing when it chose to recess. Miss Frances Dorrance, formerly in charge of the Hoyt Library, Kingston, and Edward J. Stryjak, '48, chose the slack season to present to the College two welcome book-gifts. Miss Dorrance, who graced our library as circulation and ref­ erence librarian last semester, gave a valuable collection of her own translations of important German reference works works on plant anatomy and pathology, and Ed, who re­ cently took his M.S. at Penn State, at Penn State, a bound copy of his master's thesis on the nervous system of the milkweed bug, the first detailed study of that part of the little chap ever than ever, the Open attracted more than 130 wrestlers from almost 30 YMCA clubs.

Local ^restler Krufka of Plymouth won in the 177-lb. class while Wilkes' great hope 01ymPiaI1 Bill F°ote went out in the semi-finals with an injury finishing him for the season. 20 years under W-B auspices, t for ----------v Hel , for nd was completely underYMCA the Blue & Gold the aegis the first time,to the gym tournament shifted last War’ an for THE future, promise George Ralston's quintet has played hot-and-cold basketball this season, winning six and dropping eight so far. Lenny Batroney, forward from Georgetown, became the all-time pointmaker at Wilkes early in the season by topping Bob Benson's three-year mark of 783 tallies. Streaking along at a meteoric 21-per-game average, Bart now has 1003 points in less than three seasons. Facing another NCAB leader, Vince Leta of Lycoming, the other night, Len played to the hilt and shaded the Williamsport ace 30-26 in their personal scoring battle. Parker Petrilak is back from Korea to swell the ranks of Wilkes talent. Jim Atherton, Eddie Davis, Joe Sikora, John Milliman, and Marsh Karesky, Batroney, and Petrilak comprise the starting line-up. Without a senior on the roster, it appears Wilkes has the making of a winning squad next year. 1 news of the clubs Ed's gift moved Mrs. Nada Vujica, librarian holding advanced degrees--they must be legion--for ■n, to urge us to ask other alumni tions. Any takers? ”* copies of their theses or disserts- True, the Philadelphia club is all we have so far, but gears will be grinding in Gotham, we hope, by the time this reaches you.

Al Groh, '41, director of dramatics at the College, has agreed to direct the big show, likely to be in some respects similar to the well-remembered "All in Fun," Lettermen's show of '49, and Ted Warkomski, '50, to write the music. As no-one who saw "All in Fun" needs to be told, two such collaborators can go a long way towards making the review a resounding success, but only your full cooperation can assure its going over.

If anyone s* The Wilkes Club of New York and Northern New Jersey, we are delighted to report, is now a reality. Some 30 or 32 New Yorkers and Jerseyites justified the hopefulness we expressed in the last "Bulletin" at the Kosciuszko Foundation the evening of May 1, The group heard Dr. Farley, adopted a constitution, nominated officers, and then re­ paired to the Foundation's board room for tea and incomparable Polish cates. Ballots were returned to the Alumni Office, with the following results: president, Bill Sabanski, '52, now a chemist with Pittsburgh Plate Glass in Newark; vice presi­ dent, Dick Scripp, '52, associated with U.S. and Indonesia Importing Co., New York; secretary, JoAnne E. Davis, '52, Cedarhurst, Long Island, teacher; treasurer, Jean Ryan Sp banski, '50, the other half of the Lake Hiawatha, N.J., Wilkes twosome. The officers were installed at a second meeting at the Foundation May 22, which gathering also marked the appointment of Marianne Hofman, '52, as program chairman, Roberta Siva, '52, as Club representative on the Alumni Council, and Sam Eliap, '50, as publicity man. The group projected a purely social gathering to follow the Aldelphi game in the fall and asked us to use this issue of the "Bull a. tin" to urge New Yorkers who have yet to get wind of the Club to drop Bill Sabanski a line at 124 Chesapeake Avenue, Lake Hi­ awatha, N.J. The Club is especially fortunate in having such a handsome and well-appointed meeting place as the Foundation and such gracious hosts as Professor and Mrs. Stephen Mizwa, who are in charge there. The entire group, as well as the College, is most grateful to them and to Jeanne Ko cyan, '45, sometime secretary of the Foundation, who put us in touch with the Mizwas. i u we've devoted a somewhat disproportionate amount of space to these two ° YJ? v +e organization and progress constitute the biggest alumni news -rumMin \ rUS-k da^ ds no^ distant when we'll be giving them even more space: rumblings have been heard in Washington, D.C., and Johnson City, nT One of the outstanding assembly speakers of the year just past was Fred M.Hechinger education editor of the "New York Herald Tribune."

WARMOUTH ON WILKES AND NCAA RATINGS In its second year as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Wilkes stands high in the final 1952-53 basketball statistics released this spring. With a record of 10 wins and 12 losses, which in itself shows much improvement over past years, the Colonels and Len Batroney figured among the national leaders in sever­ al places. With 471 points to give him a new College record and an average.of 21.4 per game, Len made 38th place in •individual scoring. He was also number nine in foul-shooting with an 80.5 per cent, making 153 out of 190 free tosses.

Pictured below with club members Thelma Williams and Steve Toporcer, the display impressively pointed up, by means of photographs, drawings, and neat bar graphs, the growth of the College during the past 20 years, its significant contributions to the community, and its training of leaders and intelligent follow­ ers through a varied program of student activities.

Vol* H' No* 5 September, 1953 t.ffiiVE DUSTED OFF THE WELCOME MAT Two important events vie for top billing in this issue— Homecoming and the Alumni Association1s big musical review "Here’ to Ya." The latter being scheduled for the Thanksgiving week-end we give the nod to Homecoming, October 16 and 17. Chairman Loretta Farris, ’44, has things going smoothly for the annual gathering^ but space considerations prevent our giving more than the highlights here. We trust they are sufficient to bring many, many Alums back for a misty-eyed view of our ever-expand!ng campus and its crop of new faces. We gather right away, from the schedule placed in our hands by Miss F., that busy Dan Williams, ’44, will be as busy as ever. He's chairman of the registration committee, and the cryptic note under Location says "Everywhere." The first thing on the list is a coffee hour which' will be held in the lounges of McClintock Hall from 5 to 6 p.m. on Friday, October 16. At 7:30 a general meeting, devoted first to business, and then to more relaxing things, such as a word of greeting from Dr. Farley, a variety of speakers from the club's membership, refreshments, and dancing to records. Al Groh, ’41, will give the assembled group a preview of "Here* to Ya,11 according to present plans. Having peeped in on early re­ hearsals, we feel that this in itself is incentive enough to attend Homecoming. You'll like what you see, but more about the show later. Saturday is a full day, with its tour of the campus, bigger than ever, and the annual judging contest. The contest always brings out all the dormant talents of dormitory students and various club members, and it makes the campus a gay and bustling place. From 5:30 to 6:30, Alums will be at Kingston House for a cock­ tail hour, following which a buffet supper will be served. The Big Game this year is with Hofstra College Saturday evening at 8:15 at Kingston Stadium. It promises to be one of the best tilts of the season, if it follows the pattern set last year at Hempstead, L. I., where the Flying Dutchmen, a real power in small college circles, squeezed by the second-seeded Colonels in the wan­ ing minutes of a thrilling game. es concerned with Homecoming, In order to help the committees j would you signify your intentions of cf coming by mailing the reservatlon blank found elsewhere ini this t-— issue?

From moving0 brisk comic ditties, the songs reveal great spon- 6 t&neitv and charm, and we feel that they are quite in the same league with sene of the hit tunes which have taken Broadway's heart in past years. The script, which takes the campus for its setting, is clever and packed with good lines. The review was conceived as a means to raise money for a schol­ arship fund. A worthier cause, especially in this significant twen­ tieth-anniversary year, could not be found. We hope the Alumni's enthusiasm and faith in Wilkes will pay dividends where they'll do the most good—in the future of some deserving youngsters. Response to Tom's letter has been pleasing, Dipping into the envelopes, we find that the classes of 1944, 1945,, 1948, and. 1950 have taken an early lead In the "donation derby." The class with the best results, as well as the three largest individual contribu­ tors, will receive recognition in the program. People who are actively involved in our show—business manager, director, committee heads and members, actors, chorus members, dan­ cers, advertising people, a battery of others--have been very hard at work a long time. A lot of work remains, and there will be plen­ ty ox sleepless nights ahead. The participants have been kindling a glow Ox pride for weeks now, and it will be at Its glowino-est on the evening of November 28.

Response has been most gratifying.Evident- Time has not been available for a tabulation of the replies, nur random samplings seem to indicate that Wilkes people have bn* 1 very well for themselves. done More about the survey later. c & F STUDENTS TO GREET GRADS The Economics Club, whose prize-winning Parade of Progress -3 pictured in our last, has decided to invite former display was Commerce and t— Finance students to a get-together sometime in the Homecoming week-end, president John Kpnsavage states. Details still have to be worked out, but Interested Alumni may help things along by dropping a postal card to Miss Thelma Williams, Economics Club Secretary, in care of the College. If things turn out well this fall, the C & F gathering at Homecoming could very well be an annual affair. Perhaps other Alumni in various fields could institute like parties. We are open to ideas. CLASS AGENTS APPOINTED 48, The Loyalty Fund Committee’s Chairman, Joseph J. Savitz, ’’48, has presented the office with a list of class agents, appointed by him along with committee members Sallyanne Frank Rosen, *43, and Joseph B. Farrell, ’42.

They are Eugene Hammer and Charles Moore. Dr. Hammer, recently at Columbia University, may become co-ordinator for the Cooperative Program in Educational Administration, if local schoolmen accept the plan.

However, a comparison of alumni activi­ ties now with those of several years back does re­ veal real growth. We now sponsor six affairs a year in place of the former two; we now have active chap­ ters in New York and Philadelphia in place of the former void, and these chapters are rendering a real service to Wilkes and her graduates. We have every reason to expect new growth p.,. — ... ----- Z Secretary this „ year. We start1 with a new T.Executive no longer shared with the public relations depart­ ment. The files are receiving a long needed house­ cleaning, and alumni mail will get through if you will help us locate the lost and keep us informed of your address and name changes. And, the new year promises a regular Alumni Bulletin which should draw us closer together. Our future plans call for many activities. Many of these are designed to increase our active membership. Once we have accomplished this, we can bet­ ter fulfill our purposes for existing, which are to serve our Alma Mater, to foster and maintain lasting fellow­ ship among alumni, and to provide for the continued growth of Wilkes. We are making plans for more chapters, and we plan to repeat the social affairs of last year with even greater success this year. I shall make reports to you on some of these activities at a future date. We must have as much help as you can give us to achieve all these aims. We need your abilities; we need your presence at meetings and social functions; we need your financial contributions; we need all the informa­ tion you can give us concerning your own personal activities and accomplishments. We need YOU. -J n ,1 - the •’ contentment - * in of her father's efforts.

They have fulfilled their commitments (thank heavens, or there wouldn’t , be anyone), but now they have felt the surge of time < and want assistance. It would be most appropriate if the next time YOU receive a card, you dropped around to the I meeting. We can promise you that there will not i be a quiz on the lectures.

But in order to continue the progress new dreams must replace the accomplishments so as to provide a constant goal. The above models of buildings are but one of the dreams that the administrators of the college have now. Someday, like the Wilkes gym and lecture hall, this dream may also come true. The models are of a proposed building that will provide I1 an audilorum, possible art museum and c* ’* one on the left will cost cr: ______ 2 „ c.ullurai center The — while the on the right will run about SI,000,000. lhe r_ ffir one need building is great so that the college such a to provide the community, as well may continue inVts'5 efforts as its students. finest in facilities and teachings, Another dream .uWi,h come true. that may s >. A team of resarchers working on studies SBMIWM in allergy and immunology have issued re­ ports on their two-year projects at Wilkes College. Two papers have been published M W; by the Journal of Allergy and a third is iff soon to be printed in a university press magazine. Shown above are, left to right, Walter E. Mokychic, now a student at Jefferson Medical College, and Dr. Sheldon G. Cov*^ hen, who conducted experiments that indicated certain types of strepto coccus infections could cause the development of r blood vessel and arterial diseases. The diseases, the researchers found, could be traced to the presence of an allergic conP v dition produced by growth of micro-organ) isms in the bodies of experimental animals. / ■ Dr. Cohen and Mokychic were aided in their role of streptococcus toxin anti-toxin by Dr. John F. Drapiewski, department of pathology at Mercy Hospital, who served as consultant in the study of pathological ■<a>material. Another paper published by the Journal of Allergy was written by Dr, Cohen and Dr. Charles B. Reif, chairman of the de­ partment of biology at Wilkes. Entitled "Cu­ taneous Sensitization to Blue-Green Algae," it deals with a study which found that pigments in some algae or microscopic water plants, were responsible for a type of "Swimmer's rash."

Wasi­ leski dwarfs buildings on the scale model of Wilkes College which he will soon com­ plete after more than a year of spare-time labor. Constructed on a scale of one-eighth of an inch to the foot, Wasileski estimates that the replica represents more than 1,500 hours of construction. J t The director of the Wilkes evening divi­ sion and professor of mathematics started his project more than a year ago when he made a model of _______ Barre...Hall, in which his office is located. SS-$. s^dytiV60*?60*'^ r WILKES COLLEGE Issued Monthly For Members Of WilkesBULLETIN College Alumni Asssociation ,---- Published monthly by Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

At present he is working on the model in Barre Hall. No decision has been made as to its eventual resting place, but if re­ actions of students who stop by are any indication, it will be located where it can he on continuous display. Measuring approximately eight by six­ teen feet, the model is complete right down to the "Please" signs which keep absent- second-class r-“ QS ame»ded by the I minded students from wandering on the grass and the correct number of panes in each window. Only one detail has stumped Wasileski to date, but he will probably come up with a solution. He has not been able to simu­ late the ivy that covers many of the campus buildings. He has tried such devices as green paper on string, but results have not satisfied him. Wasileski estimates that he has used 100 tubes of airplane glue and 30 sheets of artists' board to construct the model. To make trees, he raids his barberry hedge for twigs of the right size and shape and adds sea moss for the foliage. There are 100 trees in the replica. "A large number of people," Wasileski said, "are surprised at the number of chim­ neys we have. It seems to prove that most people never look above the eye level.” There are 49 chimneys on campus, since many of the buildings were homes with fireplaces on each floor. Another observation that Wasileski has made is that many persons have no idea that the Wilkes campus is so big, either in area or number of buildings. Since the col­ lege is scattered along River and Franklin streets, there is no way to see it in per­ spective. Dormitory students are especially pleas­ ed with the model. Almost everyone who has seen it has pointed out his own room to Wasileski. The buildings are, left to right, along River street — Conyngham Hall, president's home, Barre Hall, Butler Hall, Ashley Hall, Chase Hall, Kirby Hall. Along Franklin street, they are — Sturdevant Hall, Pick­ ering Hall, and Gies Hall. Down in the middle of the campus are — biology build­ ing, president's home garage, lecture hall, Butler and Ashley anexes. Chase Theatre, cafeteria and Kirby garage. Out of sight are McClintock Hall, Sterling Hall, Weckesser Hall, Hollenback Hall and the gym­ nasium. Wasileski declares that when he finishes the project, he is going to take a long rest from his hobbies. The next thing he has in mind is a mathematical museum with models of all the instruments used in that science from antiquity. �Just A Few Notes On Old Friends... M.

Koo, who is a former South Ko­ rean Marine Lieutenant, starred at season at the center halfback slot allowed Coach Partridge to send Flip Jones, veteran back, into the line where his scoring potentiality won Wilkes several games. The selection of Kemp and Moss were pleasant surprises. “Lefty’ is downright fortitude than any other Colonel booter in five years.
