Moran President, Alumni Association My position in two roles here has afforded me the luxury of viewing situations from two sides —- aium! Outgoing alumni presidents are supposed to say somethFng in their farewells which will have a lasting impact upon the members, but as I pluck away at th kevs of this typewriter I find that I have nothing to write that is going to make you suddenly leap out of your easy chair, sing a chorus of the "Wilkes Drm -ing Song” and immediately pledge one month’s salary for the next 20 years. I do want to say that the honor of having served as alumni president of Wilkes College is one I never expected and certainly did not deserve, but one that I will never hesitate to mention whenever I can maneu­ ver the conversation into convenient position. I must warn one and all that I write this as an alumnus. If the Alumni Association has progressed in its contribution to Wilkes during the past two years — and I sincerely feel it has — the credit belongs to Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, the college’s first presi­ dent, who continues to dream and bring to life the dreams he has had for more than three decades. It also belongs to President Francis J. Michelini, who every honest man must admit, had to follow a really tough act, but one year later has made those who selected him look better than the mystics of folklore. And behind these two advocates of an even great­ er Wilkes College is Art Hoover, who is somewhat a legend in his own right as a former student, teacher, proctor, assistant to the dean and now as college alumni affairs director. So many college development and alumni programs have succeeded here and else­ where because of the presence of a person like Art Hoover. And so many, many more have failed, much to the amazement of the best planners, because they didn't have someone like him. There is more to the team, which of course in­ cludes the entire college family, but I am writing about one from whom you will be hearing many good things — Tom Kelly, assistant in the office of devel- ni president and college administrator. I would hope that the double view has not blurred my vision as to where we are, where we should be going and what must be done. First, I would suggest that we look inward as alumni of Wilkes College. Take a good, long look and ask yourselves if you have honestly appraised your responsibilities not only to the college but to young people such as you were when you walked this campus. Has it really been easy to convince yourselves that you owe nothing to Wilkes? I have never met anyone who was ashamed to say that he was a graduate of Wilkes College, but I know from the amount of participation in campaigns and college affairs that there are literally thousands who would be embarrassed if you ask them what they had ever done for Wilkes or its young people. The future of private institutions of higher learn­ ing has never before faced a greater responsibility beneath the yoke of a heavier burden and greater threat to academic freedom than it does today. It is my personal belief that the time has come for those who in any way have even a small interest in the future existence of Wilkes and those who need it to come forth and offer even the slightest help to those who have assumed the responsibility up to now. There is little more I can say in leaving office after alerting you to the need :ed for your help and asking y°u to provide it. I can, of course, express my wish or new horizons and greater accomplishments3 to the certainly person who will succeed me. That, I most c pass along. I will close by saying that I have seen Wilkes st dents in situations where they have been up a down. I assume as alumni they pass throng same stages. The time has arrived for those who a h Mn away o.far ........... .. i...... .......... . nn,l been too long to .return and lend lend aa mUCi> ©Dass ©ff ’72 Joins Ssddo©^ [Program During their senior year the Class of 1970 made a commitment to collectively participate in the support of the College. The approach by which they chose to express their commitment was the Class Gift Fund Program. Likewise, the Class of 1971 elected to join their predecessors by creating a similar Gift Fund. This year the Senior Class (Class of 1972) has agreed to maintain what seems like the beginning of a tradi­ tion which can become extremely important to the continued development of the College. Here's how it works: 1. The Class Officers appointed a Committee whose membership agreed to contact each member of the class. 2. Each classmate was asked to consider mak­ ing a pledge of an appropriate amount to be paid annually for fifteen years. 3. The first payment was not due until one full year following commencement. 4. The monies paid to the fund will be in­ vested by the College's investment counsel. 5. At the end of the fifteen-year period the class will conduct a reunion and, in con­ sultation with College officials, decide up­ on the application of the fund in a manner which would benefit the College within the framework of its needs at that time. It is interesting to note that 38% of the Class of '70 made pledges to the gift fund while 47% of the Class of '71 made this commitment. Considering the economic uncertainty in the job market over the last two years, there is much hope that the Class Gift Fund Program will become an ongoing and increas­ ingly more important source of cultivating alumni interest and providing the college with a greater measure of support from its Alumni. During a period in which corporations, founda­ tions, and individual donors are likely to ask what Wilkes’ Alumni are doing to support their institution, the College can respond with a discussion of the Class Gift Fund Program. It is the hope of the College that the Gift Fund Program might serve to maintain and strengthen the ties between Wilkes and her Alumni — and by so do­ ing provide sustenance for the College and meaning for the Alumni. Forward Thrust Presently under construction is the new Learning Center designed to provide additional facilities for the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Environmental Science, Fine Arts, Physics and Psy­ chology. This structure, on the planning boards for some time, became urgently needed following the fire which destroyed Conyngham Hall. More recently, the decision to join Hahnemann Medical College in an innovative program in medical education was based, in part, on the realization that the Learning Center would provide ample facilities to house the new program. The Hahnemann-Wilkes cooperative program in Family Medicine is designed to accomplish the fol­ lowing through a coordinated program which will in­ sure the quality of medical education: 1. increase the number of physicians in the field of family medicine 2. reduce the time and cost of medical education for the student 3. improve medical care and education in North­ eastern Pennsylvania. Additionally, a two-way microwave audio-visual communication system will be constructed by Gener­ al Electric Company to provide increased communi­ cation between Wilkes and Hahnemann. This com­ munication system will be used for diagnosis and consultation and for the exchange of materials relat­ ing to medical programs. The necessary facilities on this end of the communication system will be located in the new Learning Center. The original estimate of the Learning Center was S3 million — which has been secured. However, an expansion of the original concept of the building in combination with escalating construction costs have increased the firm bids to $5,860,000. Because the need for these facilities has become more urgent within the framework of the agreement to implement the medical program, the College has decided to begin “Phase I” of the Learning Center. These plans call for the completion of the frame of the entire building as well as the furnishing of the first and second floors. It is hoped that by the time Phase I is completed (Sep­ tember 1973) the additional $2.8 million will have been secured to assure the continuation of construc­ tion under "Phase II." This second portion of devel­ opment prescribes the completion and furnishing of the third and fourth floors as well as the construction of a large lecture hall adjoining the Learning Center. The College has accepted perhaps its greatest challenge with the hope that friends and alumni will recognize and support this most promising endeavor. needed hand. page / 5 Page / 4 �ALUMNUS INTERVIEW Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Penna. A WORK Name of Applicant— OF ART... Tel. No. Address Date Yes School by Art Hoover, ’55 Setting of the Interview: (location, time, others present, etc.) Director of Alumni Relations Among my wishes for a joyous holiday season i my personal wish that all of us, as alumni, will approach the significance of the season with a re­ newed spirit of concern for and faith in our Alma Mater. Because Christmas is generally considered o be a time of remembering and giving, it is an appro­ priate gesture to include Wilkes in our holiday holiday thinkthink­ ing. By way of suggestion, there are two significant means available for us to consider. As the current year ends, we are approaching die halfway mark in our Alumni Challenge Gift Cam­ paign. This campaign, as you may recall, challenges the alumni to provide S300,000 from 3,000 alumni donors between July 1,1969, and June 30,1973. Upon the attainment of this challenge, six friends of the College will contribute an additional 525,000 each for a total of S150.000. As I write this appeal to you, we are near the 50% mark in meeting the challenge, but again, renewed effort is a “must” if we are to meet the challenge. Some time ago, you received a published list, by class, of alumni contributors to the Alumni Fund and the Challenge Gift Campaign. If your name was miss­ ing from the list you still have an opportunity to rectify the omission. All gifts and pledges received by January 15 will be incorporated into the Alumni Fund Report which will be published early in 1972. Consequently, your new gift or additional gift now will add your name to your class list, increase your total class contribution, help to meet our challenge — and, most of all, renew our spirit of concern for and faith in our Alma Mater. Another significant means of support for the Col­ lege is your active involvement in the recruitment of students for admission to Wilkes. Many times in the past, Dr. Farley has communicated to all of us the importance of alumni efforts to attract qualified stu­ dents to Wilkes. Many fellow alumni have taken con­ siderable time to talk with high school seniors about the type of educational experience available at Wilkes and this alumni help has contributed sub- page / 6 No Scholarship Applicant If known, SAT scores Ratings: (Please use a scale of 1 to 6 with 1 being best pos­ V M Class Rank Academic Application submitted Catalog received Extra-curricular Overall rating Outstanding talents or accomplishments:. stantially to the continued maintenance of quality education. Now, more than ever before, our recruiting efforts assume added importance and need to be intensified. As an independent liberal arts college, tuition income (supplemented by gifts from friends and alumni) pro­ vides the basic source of support; whereas, public institutions receive their basic support from public sources. As a consequence, tuition charges at public institutions are considerably lower and students throughout the country are looking to the public in­ stitutions for their collegiate education. Fortunately, the student who prefers the independent liberal arts college may gain some help through college and state scholarship programs, loan programs, etc. Our job as alumni is to advance the cause of the independent colleges — especially Wilkes — through the recruit­ ment of prospective students. Reprinted on the facing page is a copy of *he “Alumni Interview Form” which was devised spe cifically for use by our alumni in the recruitmen process. When you interview a prospective Wi es student, complete the form and return it to the A um ni Relations Office. As soon as certain information 1 recorded in the Alumni Relations Office, the or will be forwarded to the Admissions Office an y° will, in turn, receive replacement interview foinis continued use in recruiting. is greaUy Your interest, cooperation and support lason! appreciated.

The amount of each grant[shall be based on the financial need of the student after an anal vsis of the Parents' Confidential Statement submitted on his behalf. (Funded completely by Wilkes College.) Total 1969-70: $235,059 Educational Opportunity Grants Federal grants ranging from $200 to $1,000 are avail­ able to students demonstrating exceptional financial need, who, except for this aid would be unable to obtain a higher education under the Higher Education Act of 1965. Applications will be considered for an Educational Op­ portunity Grant award if the expected parental contribu­ tion, as determined by an analysis of the Parents’ Confi­ dential Statement, does not exceed $62o per year. Fam­ ilies with gross annual income of $9,000 or more are not eligible for EOG assistance, while preference is given to families with below $6,000 annual gross income. (Funded completely by the Federal Government.) Total 1969-70: $164,650 State Scholarships Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Direct grants rang­ ing from $100 to $800 are available to Pennsylvania resi­ dents who demonstrate financial need. The amount of each grant is limited to 80% of the cost of tuition and fees, or S800, whichever is less. Grants are based solely on financial need, with families having gross annual in­ come in excess of $15,000 per year, or assets in excess of $30,000 are excluded from this program. (Funded com­ pletely by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.) Total 1969-70: $841,426 Other States offer scholarship programs for their resi­ dents. New Jersey for example, makes awards of up to $500 per year on the basis of academic achievement and financial need, and recipients may use these awards at out-of-state institutions. Total 1969-70: $22,600 New York also offers scholarship assistance to its resi­ dents, but the award may be used only at institutions within New York State. Long-term, low-interest loans are available to students who demonstrate financial need under the National De­ fense Education Act of 1958. The amount of each loan is determined by the. College, based on an analysis of the Parents’ Confidential Statement, with a maximum Ioan of $1,000 per year. While the student remains in school, no repayment is made; and no interest is charged. The loan is repaid beginning one year after graduation, with 3 per cent simple interest. This program includes loan cancellation provisions for persons who enter the teaching profession, or military service. (Funded 90% by the Fed° eral Government, 10% by the College.) Total 1969-70: $181,075 State Guaranty Loan Program Most states now operate loan programs which enable full-time students to borrow as much as $1,500 per year ($750 for part-time students). The loan is made by the student’s bank or savings-and-loan association, while the State guarantees repayment to the bank if the student should fail to make timely repayment. If the student's adjusted family income is below $15,000 per year, the Federal government pays all interest plus a lender partici­ pation incentive (up to 3%) while the student remains in school and for 9 months afterward. The loan is repaid in monthly installments of at least $30, with 7 per cent in­ terest. (Banks fund the loan, the State guarantees repay­ ment, and the Federal government pays interest as indi­ cated.)

Under the Higher Education Act of 1965, students may be employed in positions similar to those listed above. Under CWSP, however, the student must demonstra e financial need as determined by an analysis of the Par­ ents’ Confidential Statement. Preference is given to stu dents from low-income families in filling job assignments. The standard rate of pay under CWSP is $1.60 per hour, (funded 80% by the Federal Government, 20% by ie College.)

Ask Ellen Taggart, a former Kingston native and Wilkes College alumnus, who was recently named managing editor of Jack and Jill Magazine, one of the nation’s leading children’s periodicals. “It all started with a letter to the Curtis Publish­ ing Company in Philadelphia during my senior year at Wilkes,” related the 24-year-old Glenside resident who has moved from assistant editor to managing editor in just two years. “I had always wanted to write for a children’s magazine, and Jack and Jill was a relatively popular publishing house located near home. But as luck would have it, soon after I was appointed to the staff in January 1970, the firm transferred to Indianapolis, Indiana,” she said. The move turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Ellen as she was one of the few asked to move with the company. Shortly after arriving in Indian­ apolis, the Wilkes graduate was promoted to the posi­ tion of associate editor. “Things happened so fast and then Mrs. Melle Bell, who had served as editor for many years re­ tired,” she explained, “and I was asked to move up to her position. I naturally accepted." She traces much of her success to Wilkes College and it’s English faculty. “I received a strong English background at college and I’m extremely thankful to Dr. Philip Rizzo and many of the other instructors.” Jack and Jill magazine has a circulation of about 700,000. It is published 10 times a year and directed mainly at the 4-12 age group. Speaking on the nature of her duties, she stated, “We have five people working on the book. Most of our work is done six months in advance. The major­ ity of our manuscripts come from free lance contrib­ utors, and surprisingly, 6,000 are submitted each year.” A big part of her job centers on the tedious task of selecting the manuscripts and the scheduling of deadlines. The book has recently enlarged from 52 to 64 pages and is printed in four colors. Noting the biggest change in children’s writing, “We're not saying life is absolutely all beautiful. There are now some sad endings. We try to look at the positive side of things and not be peachy.” “We want to help kids solve their own problems. Our major goals are achieved if we can get the child to read for pleasure on their own rather than turn on the television.” The most popular subjects in demand are stories written about mystery, adventure, and science. “Children are definitely reading more than they have been. They want controversial subjects. Finally they ask a lot of questions and want to know the answers.” Another big moment in her rapid rise to success came last month when she was designated to tour the new Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida, prior to it's official opening. Details of the experience will be related in the April issue of the magazine. Probably the proudest fan of Ellen is her mother. Nan Thomas Taggert, a former teacher in the Abing­ ton High School District, near Philadelphia, and a graduate of Bucknell University. “I am very happy for Ellen. She knew’ all the time what she w’anted and went out to get it,” related the proud parent. Ellen's father is deceased. page / 9 page / 8 �The National Scene Higher education’s ‘uncertain’ future: Will students want what colleges offer? Will colleges have enough space? I backward glance at the growth of higher /\ education over the past century shows that the pattern was almost always predictable. • “ Enrollments kept rising, doubling every' 15 years or so. An ever-increasing share of the college-age population was actually going to college. New colleges kept going up. Old ones kept getting bigger. And this year, the federal government estimates, enrollments are up again—by six per cent But what of the future? Can we expect more of the same? What will higher education be like—and how big will it be—in 10, 20, or 30 years? The answers aren't that predictable anymore. Too many factors in and around higher education are changing. Never before, says the noted Car­ negie Commission on Higher Education, have the colleges been faced with a comparable situation. Amid many uncertainties, here’s w’hat the panel sees ahead: ► In the 1980's, higher education will have the unusual experience of a pause, if not an outright decline, in enrollment growth. New campus con­ struction will cease, faculty members will be re­ cruited far more slowly’, and the opportunities for reform that tend to accompany periods of expan­ sion will be reduced. There may be some qualita­ tive improvements, though, as the demands of quantity subside, and adult education may come in for some dramatic expansion. £> The end to enrollment growth in the 1980’s will be preceded by a decade of reduced growth, at a rate of perhaps 50 per cent. In the 1990’s, enrollments will rise once more, by some 30 per cent. But compare those figures with the 124per-cent increase of the past 10 years! > In the long run, higher education will find that it is growing “more nearly with society,” in­ stead of far ahead of it. The portion of the col­ lege-age population in college at any given time may well level out to about 50 per cent a year by the turn of the century. Taken together, those developments would be unprecedented for higher education, the com­ mission says in a report on New Students and New Places. But as it looks at past and current trends, the panel stirs in some ideas of its own about where the academic world should be going. It expects greater college opportunities for lowincome students and for adults to add to the en­ rollment pool. It wants to reduce the time students take to earn degrees. And it projects a shift of Page/ io enrollments to two-year colleges, along with a decline in graduate rolls. The overall result, it says, would be a net drop of about 1 million students in the total estimated for 1980 on the basis of previous trends. The panel’s revised total is 12.5 million students by 1980, with 16 million estimated for the year 2000. None of this can be forecast with great confidence, however. The panel points to these “new uncertainties”: ► As colleges continue to be hard-pressed financially, will they be able to afford “new places” for new students? ► Most jobs today don’t require a college degree. What happens when the labor market stops absorbing college graduates “at the level of training they have acquired?” ► Will students want what the colleges have to offer? The effects of the cultural revolution are a “great unknown.” ► What will happen to the birth rate, which is now showing a dramatic decline? ► In the midst of the “new technology” of tapes and computers and video-cassettes, will the campus survive as the main center of higher education? As academic leaders ponder such questions, they must also weigh proposals concerning the number, location, and size of their institutions. If they take the Carnegie Commission’s advice, they will create at least 175 new community colleges and at least 80 new “comprehensive” public fouryear colleges, mostly in urban areas, by 1980. They will not create any more Ph.D.-granting “research-type universities.” And they will not let their institutions stay too small or get too large. n In Brief: For a long time now, the country has not been sure what to do about its traditionally black colleges. Should it save them, or scrap them in the name of integration? The wealthy and in­ fluential Ford Foundation, long-time supporter of higher education generally, has made a choice. It will devote about three-fourths of its higher-edu­ cation grants over the next six years (some $100miliion) to aiding minority students and a limited number of black colleges . . . Minority enrollments are growing at a faster rate than those of the rest of the college popula­ tion—20.4 per cent to 5.7 per cent between 1968 and 1970, federal statistics indicate . . . Many private colleges arc in worse financial shape than they had forecast. A survey has found more than 100 of them approaching bankruptcy. 1971 Homecoming Brings Entertainment Reunions for Many �1971 “72 Wilkes College Basketball Team Winter Sports Season Look^ [BoiglM WRESTLING create excitement before his departure from the Wilkes scene in 1974. If early season success is any indi­ cator, the 1971-72 winter schedule of sports should be a happy one in Colonel land. Wilkes, 2-1 at writing, holds wins over Oneonta State, 32-10; and Mont­ clair State, 34-14. The setback inflicted by Buffalo, by the way, ended a 17had traced meet winning streak sircsk which _____ back to the 1969-70 season. Graduation has cut deepest into the wrestling program where John Reese, starting his nineteenth year of colle­ giate coaching, must find replacements for four-year veterans Dennis Verzera, Gerry Willetts, Ron Fritts, and Rich Ceccoli. Filling in most of the upper weights, the quartet carded a combined 142-297 mark during their stay at Wilkes. Despite an early loss to the Univer­ sity of Buffalo, the Blue .andx Gold mat. ­ men will be favored a<_ igam to cop t eir >nrir IConference nnroranro eleventh Middle Atlantic title. This year's hopes will be centered around team captain Al Zellner [158], who had a 24 dual meet string snapped at Buffalo; Jay McGinley (118), Bob Roberts (126), Art Trovei (134), and Alain Arnould (Hwt.J. All five are sea­ soned veterans. Newcomer Mike Lee, a sophomore transfer from Navy, also promises to Still remaining on the Colonel slate are meetings with Oregon State, Army, Hofstra. and East Stroudsburg, which should give Coach Reese a few more lost hairs before the year is out. BASKETBALL Excitement is also being generated by the cagers, enjoying a fine 3-0 start, as thev begin their first year under new basketball taskmaster Rodger Bearde. The new mentor has the hardwooders hopping and a fifth consecutive winning year is within reasonable thought. Wilkes has registered triumphs ver­ sus Susquehanna, 87-76; Philadelphia Pharmacy, 78-69; and Elizabethtown, 105-86. The latter win had the Wilkes faithful speechless, as Bearde’s charges came through with 62 points in the second half. Sights are still set at one of four MAC playoff berths, something which has eluded the Wilkes eagers since their entrance into the Middle Atlantic Conference in 1957. Like wrestling, spring commencement cut deep into the basketball ranks, taking four starting veterans. To close the experience gap, Coach Bearde has gone with Dave Kurosky, a 6-5 senior; Mike Bachkosky, a 6-4 junior; Roman Shahay, a 6-0 junior; Mark Cat­ erson, a 6-3 junior; and Greg O’Brien, a 6-0 junior, as his starting five. The rapid development of freshmen Clarence Ozgo, Greg Buzinski, and playmaker Steve Ference gives hint of continued victory in the months and years ahead. SWIMMING A wave of optimism also greets the arrival of the swimming year, as Coach Bob Corba ~ has assembled one of the most talented squads in school history. Middle Atlantic Conference diving champ Doug Krienke returns along with sprinter Rich Marchant. The speedy junior copped two fifths and one sixth :th place medal at the MAC confab last winter. The 1971-72 Wilkes College basketball squad is under the tutelage of first-year mentor Rodger Bearde.

Pawlush It was the return to “good times” this fall as Colonel athletic teams enjoyed some of their finest hours. After feeling the wrath of a 3-4-1 record the previous season, the football charges of Roland Schmidt turned the corner in 1971, recording a fine 6-2 showing. Wilkes soccer also got big play, as the hooters fought Elizabethtown College down to the last day for MAC championship laurels. The Colonels closed with an overall 8-4-2 tally, 7-2-1 in conference play. As expected, the cross country of team, undergoing its first season c. varsity competition, fell prey to in­ juries and seasoned opponents, and completed its baptismal year with a2'101o°- campaign occurred on Oct. 23 when freshman placekicker Terry Blaum booted a 24-yard field goal with three seconds remaining, to give the Colonels a 3-0 victory over Juniata. The Colonels finished thii ’ ' ird « the Lambert race, symbolic of e— ‘ eastern "Division III” supremacy ~ - • LaThe Schmidtmen copped previous un bert honors in 1966 and 1968 ' ­ Another ego builder was a 15-14 nod over across-Pocono-Mountainrival East Stroudsburg State Col­ lege. The Warriors had buried the Paced by the sharpshooting toe of junior forward Ed Garabedian the Wilkes soccer team put forth its best single-season effort since i96r when it compiled a 9-2 log and brought home the MAC champion­ ship. Schmidtmen, 30-0, in 1970. Passing became a prime weapon in the Wilkes arsenal as the Col­ onels struck for 1,354 yards via the airlanes. The gridsters were equally awesome on the running paths, blis­ tering the turf for 1,342 yards. Ted Yeager was the prime mover in the ground attack, scampering for an all-time season record of 952 yards on 217 carries while accumulating 13 touchdowns. Not to be overlooked by plaudits was 5-10,175-pound junior quarter­ back Jeff Giberson, who connected on 86 of 162 aerial attempts for a whopping 1,290 yards, His prime receivers Langdon [25-295 yds.), 1UP (19-216 yds.), and (15-329 yds.). The latter turn next year. were Neil George SilBill Horan two will re­ Holding down the defensive side of the ledger was the interior line­ backing duo of Frank Galicki and Tony Cardinale, who accumulated tackle totals of 179 and 148, respec­ tively. Both were bona fide post­ season honors candidates along with Yeager. Seniors making their final ap- Pearance in the Wilkes Navy Blue and Gold included: Bob Ashton (DE), Charles Graziano (LB), Kent Jones (LB), Ron Hillard (LB), Ron Fritts (DT), John Kerr (DB), Garf Jones (DS), Nate Eustis (OT), Steve Balia (OT), Lili Hanbury (OG), Neil Garabedian was nothing short of sensational, ramming home a rec­ ord total of 17 goals and 11 assists Also producing in double figures were Rich Combellack (10 goals — five assists), George Bene Hoane (11 goals, one assist), and Stellios Patsiokas (six goals-four assists). Bene Hoane, an Ivory Coast na­ tive, established a new Wilkes onegame standard, slashing the nets for five goals in an 8-1 win over Upsala. Coach Tom Rokita’s team dropped a 3-0 decision to powerful Eliza­ bethtown on the final match of the campaign, resulting in a title for the Bluejays and a runnerup placing for the Colonels.

No doubt, in time many of his stand­ ards will be erased from the picture, but it is interesting to note that in the age of the “big man”, Yeager proved that size isn’t everything, just sheer guts. r The "Sudden Six plus One” was the cry as the Wilkes cross country team made its debut into the inter­ collegiate wars. Fielding a six-man squad, the harriers of rookie mentor George Pawlush took the lumps of inexperience, but managed wins over Leb­ anon Valley and Cheyney State. Onty setbacks to Ithaca, 41-28; and Indiana (Pa.), 13-7, prevented the Blue and Gold from attaining their fourth perfect football season in six years. Ineligible for the MAC “Northern Division” team title, the Colonels posted a 4-0 record against conference squads.

Summer 1972 t;lO lMion in Damage Estimated ^Operation Snapback' Follows Record Flooding Thursday, June 22, started out just as anv other routine day at Wilkes College. People were inconvenienced by having to don rain gear, but offices and other departments continued work as usual. Even by Thursday evening, when reports indicated that the river level had risen considerably, there was no thought to the possibility that Wilkes would experience the worst disaster in its short history within the next two days. Then it hit, Friday, June 23, at 11:14 a.m. sirens sounded, ending the effort of hundreds of individuals to hold back the raging waters of the Susquehanna, and driving everyone out of the area. By Monday, President Francis J. Michelini and other college officials were on campus, surveying the estimated S1 (Lmrilion in damages and beginning the seemingly endless cleanup procedures Then, just 11 days later -on July 5Wilkes opened its doors tor the resumption of summer school classes, proving to the skeptics and area residents that Wilkes was capable of “snapping back into action again. Qverdl damages remain at the Umated $10-milhon, according to Dr. Michehm, with the hardest hit areas being the library, the Stark Science Hall and the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. „ The music building ___ and the CPA "Operation Snapback" — the name given to the restoration of Wilkes College and experienced $1.5-million in damages to ‘ts campus by volunteer students, faculty .equipment, ._________ ° --- ■ instruments, lighting andand administrators — remains in full operation, along with the assistance of furnishing. many out-of-town students, alumni and Perhaps the hardest hit area on the friends who came into town to see if they campus was the library with over "could help out" $500,000 in book losses.

Nixon V:isits W:ilkes With $4"Million Check '—'---President Richard M. Nixon (left) pre­ sents a check for $4-million to Wilkes Col­ lege President Francis J. Michelini with a warm handshake as presidential aide Frank Carlucci (center) looks on. "Operation Snapback" efforts reaped suc­ cess with the arrival of President Richard M. Nixon on the Wilkes College campus and the presentation of a check in the amount of $4-million. President Nixon presented the check di­ rectly to President Francis J. Michelini, say­ ing, "this is one check that won't bounce. Dr. Mike." The check was only a first installment, with $6-milIion more to arrive in the near future, covering the estimated loss of $10million caused in June by the record flood­ ing of the Susquehanna River. "Operation Snapback" represents an allout effort on the part of students and col­ lege personnel who responded to a plea for "manpower and elbow grease" from Dr. Michelini in an effort to overcome what had at first appeared to be an almost fatal blow to the liberal arts institution. The future growth of the college and the efforts to keep the institution at its present high level of operation depends on financial grants from the federal agencies, alumni contributions, and other sources. "Operation Snapback" was termed a ma­ jor success when, on July 5, some 10 days after the flood, summer day and evening classes resumed. The early return was a re­ sult of the cleanup and the fact that facil­ ities above the first floors were unharmed. Phase II of "Operation Snapback" began in August when paint buckets and brushes replaced shovels and payloaders. The dorm­ itories and classroom buildings were al(continued on page 6) Fall, 1972 25th Homecoming Draws Hundreds Last month marked the celebration of Wilkes College's Silver Anniver­ sary Homecoming with a host of activities for the alumni and the under­ graduates. Highlighting the weekend's activities was the crowning of Miss Debbie Koch, a senior elementary education major from Bricktown, N. J., as Homecoming Queen at halftime activities o fthe Wilkes-Ithaca football game. Miss Koch's court consisted of Paula Cardias, Long Island; Josephine Schifano, Pittston; and Randy Wells, Lebanon, Pa, Homecoming activities first began in 1947 — the same year Wilkes was chartered as a four-year liberal arts college. Since that time, the Homecoming Weekend has con­ tinued to grow with the addition of new activities for the alumni and undergrad­ uates. This year was particularly important in that it marked an important step in the College's recovery from the SlO-million in damages resulting from the June 23 flood. At halftime activities for the football game, Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, reminded the spectators that four months ago they would have been sitting under 28 feet of Susquehanna water. At the Saturday evening Homecoming Dinner, the College delivered a special sa­ lute to the silver anniversary class of 1947. Featured spe; eaker at the event was Dr. Michelini on "V 'Wilkes College: Pre-Flood and Post-Flood." An Ecumenical Church Service in the Center for the Performing Arts drew the Dr. Francis J. Michelini doos tho honors of congratulating Miss Debbie Koch as queen of the 25th Homecoming festivities. weekend's activities to a close with a Wilkes alumnus as the principal speaker, Lt. Col. Robert L. Benson, Class of 1952, Chaplain, U. S. Air Force Academy. Wilkes Learning Center Progresses Out of the tons of mud and debris de­ posited on the Wilkes College campus fol­ lowing the record flooding of the Susque­ hanna emerged a small, though powerful ray of hope—as construction of the Wilkes Learning Center on So. River St. continued. Last June, Wilkes College was able to announce, with a great deal of pride, plans to construct a S5-million learning center. This center would represent the hopes and dreams of a small community dedicated to the ideal that through education the dreams of the future will be realized. A year of construction followed with alumni and friends of the small liberal arts college watching the workers mold their contributions into a new educational facility. Last summer also meant destruction—the demolition of five mansions that had once housed some of the most prominent fam­ ilies of the Wyoming Valley Area.

It was an emotion-packed address that President Michelini delivered to the Class of 1976 as he reminded them that they will always be remembered as the freshman class that came to the campus immediately after the institution had been restored fol­ lowing the "great flood of 1972." While he had words of advice and wel­ come to pass along to the new students, President Michelini also took time to recog­ nize many in the audience who had come to Wilkes during the Summer crisis as "vol­ unteers who wanted to simply do some­ thing to help out even though you at that time weren't actually active students." Many of the returning students expressed some surprise at the condition of the cam­ pus and the buildings, stating they had ex­ pected more signs of the destruction from the Summer flood, but expressed pleasure and amazement over the accomplishments of the many volunteers who had worked throughout the Summer months putting the 58 buildings and grounds back into condi­ tion far greater than any believed possible at the end of June. The president—implying that the Class of -. <1 r L, .......t r, C 11 „ —4 j T. n 1976 ^1^^ also V. had the spirit of '76 called the group special in that it had already demon­ strated a desire to become involved and be of service to others. — n *-* xr "And becoming involved and helping others—giving of yourselves for the sake of helping your fellow man—is so very im­ portant," he told them. "I speak to you with humble awareness of the many who came forth when we needed you so desperately and I am grateful." Moving into the philosophical vein, Dr. Michelini stressed the important contribu­ tion the recent disaster would have on the incoming students in terms of understand­ ing and involvement. He emphasized the role of the college students in helping the community snap back after the disaster. College students pitched in to help with the flood recovery efforts, before, during and after the disaster. WILKES COLLEGE REPORT Published by The Wilkes College Public Relations Department.

As long as we have those two in­ gredients, we will have a college," stated the president. Within a short period of time Dr r . as president of Wilkes College l',.-, ’ t Cy' he could rely on Admiral sJrk for ?hd ' ’al port of expansion and for backing |.T pursuit of educational ideals. ’ c Dr Farley described the Admiral as the ideal person to translate our asoirri; for students College, and community a program of action. He gave generously of his time and energies, and always led our campaign for funds by a generous gift He interested his friends in the the College College and and used his influence in its behalf." Dr. Farley once wrote, "it is the individ­ ual who gives substance and vitality to an institution." With the death of Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations and former commander of the United States Naval Forces in Europe, the Wilkes College com___ •• t, i .. c • . . muruty lost a long-time friend and supporter of educational ideals and the role of education in the community. When Wilkes was founded in 1933 as Bucknell Junior College, Dr. Eugene 5. Far­ ley had a dream and the determination to prove to sceptics in the Wyoming Valley Area that there was a definite need for a college and the type of education it could provide for the area. The veteran educator was determined that a college education would not continue to be limited to children of families fortunate enough to be able to afford the costs. Ad­ miral Stark was one of the few individuals who demonstrated a positive interest in the college and encouraged Dr. Farley in his endeavors to make the liberal arts institulion grow. Admiral Stark demonstrated his interest in the establishment of a permanent insti­ tution in 1937 by donating his family home at 184 South River Street to the College as a memorial to Fred M. Chase and his wife who was Admiral Stark's sister. RJ" 7Stark joined the Wilkes College card of Trustees and from 1959 to 1964 he served as Chairman of the Board.

Within a rehtivdj short The substance and vitality supplied by one man—Admiral Stark—helped Wilkes College realize a potential for increased community service and improved education. Dr. Francis J. Michelini, second president of Wilkes College stated, "I think it is fit­ ting that the people of our Community recognize the significance of the contribu­ tions of this great leader of men, who, in his most quiet and humble way, influenced the lives of so many thousands of people in our Community." Several areas on the local campus will serve as reminders for thousands of stu­ dents entering the institution of learning, telling of the vast amount of aid Admiral Stark had given to the private institution. One such reminder is the special room in the Eugene S. Farley Library, dedicated in his honor. The other is the Stark Science Hall, which the Admiral was largely re­ sponsible for creating. Admiral Stark was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1880. He graduated from the Harry Hill­ man Academy, receiving a commission as Ensign in the United States Navy a e graduating from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1905.

"Many young people were looking for a cause to fight for, and they have found it in the Wilkes restoration program—a cause that will last for a good many years, but make us stronger in the end." A VALLEY UNITED The following letter was written by Dr. Eugene 5. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, in the aftermath of the June 23 disaster and ran as a Letter to the Editor in the August 3 edition of the New York Times. July, 1972 While memories of water, mud and devastation are still fresh maybe each of us will join in planning for the re-birth of our Valley. One hundred and fifty years ago the "Vale of Wyoming” was reputed to be one of the most beautiful spots in the East. One hundred years ago our Valley was still beautiful but mining was slowly destroying its natural beauty. Fifty years ago our Valley was noted for its labor strife and for the physical and psychological scars left by the mining industry. Fifty days ago we were struggling to create a new and more attractive Valley and we were succeeding. Slowly but surely new jobs were being created, the general economy was improving and old eye-sores were being replaced by modern, attractively landscaped buildings. And — then in a few hours we were inundated with flood waters and left with inches of mud and material damage that had to be seen to be believed. But — in the midst of this devastation neighbor helped neighbor and Civil De­ fense maintained order and provided leadership in the midst of muck, mud and devastation. In the midst of crisis we were united. Now that we are slowly recovering may we maintain and enlarge this unity. May we unite to restore the beauty of our Valley while we strive to rebuild our homes and our industries. If we possess the vision, the will, and the desire, we can, in cooperation with our neighbors, or state and federal governments, restore the best of the past. And while so doing we can create a more beautiful and wholesome environment. This is a dream but America was built by dreamers who were also doers and our Valley was being rebuilt by men and women of vision who also were doers. Can we not work to sustain this dream? There are many agencies at work to provide the instruments for new growth. Let us work with them to build a new and better economy and a more beautiful community. It can be done if we envision it and possess the will to do it. EUGENE S. FARLEY, President Emeritus Alumni Fund Appeal Set By Wilkes College A campaign involving approximately 8,600 Wilkes College alumni—3,000 living in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties—in the task of raising funds to help offset the $10-million in flood damages and loss was begun last month. In a special appeal to the alumni by letter and illustrated newsletter, Alumni President Reese Jones told the former Wilkes stu­ dents that "never before in the history of our college has your full support been more urgently needed than it is now." Jones, who is president of the First Valley Bank of Bethlehem gave a complete ap­ praisal of the damages to the alumni, plac­ ing emphasis on four sites: 1. The Eugene Shedden Farley Library: Over 50,000 volumes (half of the total col­ lection) lost—plus special collections, all basement furniture, shelving, carrels, car­ peting and much first floor shelving as well. Estimated loss—$1,250,000. 2. Stark Hall: Loss of laboratory and sci­ entific equipment alone valued at $500,000. Total estimated loss--$l,500,000. 3. Center for the Performing Arts and the New Music Building: Instruments and equipment loss in the tens of thousands of dollars. In the theater itself, water level covered all but the lop six rows of seats. Estimated loss—$1,750,000, 4. Gymnasium: Entire gym floor washed out and buckled into five-foot waves. Esti­ mated loss $125,000. Jones, who only three months ago as­ sumed the two-year post as national pres­ ident, called upon his colleagues to "give all the support that you possibly can to aid our Wilkes College 'Operation Snapback'." International Club Offers Understanding Another person's country can be a very lonely place unless someone offers the hand of friendship and understanding. That, in essence, is what the International Club of Wilkes-Barre is attempting to do by its existence and efforts on the local campus. Mary Cheung, ar" native of Hong Kong and president of the International Club, determined to work with her five-member executive council to make life on the cam­ pus and in this country more enjoyably familiar to the foreign student. The charming resident assistant has a humble but convincing way of making someone listen when she expresses her con­ cern for the plight of the foreign student— especially during their first years in this country. Finding a solution to the problems facing the foreign students is one of the key points of interest that Mary is counting on to put new life into the three-year old In­ ternational Club. Assisting with the overall revitalization of the organization is Assistant Dean Ed­ ward Baltrukitis, who had experience on the college level with International Club Organizations on other campuses. �homecoming It was a unique occasion on the lawn of Weckosser Hall on Friday afternoon on the Wilkes College campus as tho presidents of tho classes of 1947 and 1973 met for the first time and bridged a 25-yoar span of Alumni Association homecomings.

This became evident with the announce­ ment by Wilkes President Francis J. Michel­ ini, who revealed that the $10-million in damages to the college and the disruption of classes for slightly more than a week did not seriously hamper the program. Dr. Donald W. Tappa, dean of academic affairs, received the initial report on the results of the campus flooding and damage to property as it related to student attend­ ance when classes resumed on July 5. Mobile Homes On Campus Western Electric Grant Presented to Wilkes The Western Electric Fund presented con­ tributions of $50,000 to Wilkes College and $5,000 to King's College to assist the two local institutions in restoring their cam­ puses following the massive damage done by the recent flood. Wilkes President Michelini privately ex­ pressed his appreciation for what he termed "a most welcome and timely financial con­ tribution that will help immensely in our battle to overcome the tremendous $10million in damages inflicted upon our college by the flood." King's President Kilburn joined in cxpressing appreciation on behalf of the in­ stitution he heads for the generous gesture by Western Electric Corporation and its Foundation. it Shown during tho prosontatlon luncheon hold at tho Troadwoy Motor Inn am, loft to right: Dr. Francln J.

Frank Carlucci, President Nixon's special representative in the Wilkes-Barre area to coordinate the federal flood recovery oper­ ation, met with Dr. Michelini and toured the campus over the summer. Carlucci said, "the damages to private institutions were quite extensive." There were 41 private institutions in the area hit by the flood. The American Enterprise Institute is a publicly supported, non-partisan research and educational organization located in Washington, D. C. It was established in 1943 to assist the nation's legislators and educational leaders by providing factual analyses of important national policy issues. Major issues of national significance are discussed through legislative and special analyses, long-range studies, regional de­ bates, seminars and symposia. AEI also publishes basic handbooks for use in both the National high school and national in­ tercollegiate debates. <r * it it KAREN SAKADU3KI 72 wn recently married to Richard Daywood it <1 it NANCY HAWK MERRYMAN '69 hr. h ’:. 13 month asJignnwnt with th* Mannomte Centr-d Com mittee in Kenya 5h« will be teaching Engl.sh m HaransbM School In the Gorhsa ara> it it it Harry Keller, a 1970 graduate of Wilke.

Raspen said, "Both state and federal sources of student aid funds were ap­ proached.

The same bit of mini-philosophy applies to a battle that the Wilkes College Alumni Association is going through now under the direction of Atty. Jeffry H. Gallet '64, chair­ man of the annual Alumni Fund Campaign. would have been forced to close its doors without the support of Government agencies, private foundations and former students. "But the doors are open and they will re­ main open if we do something about it. What This year's campaign is quite different in­ asmuch as there is a "challenge gift" of $150,000 riding on the outcome of the drive which ends on June 30. Under the provisions of an agreement made a few years back, an anonymous donor agreed to give Wilkes College $150,000 if the alumni would contribute $300,000. ■< Since the offer was made in 1970, alumni have contributed $235,000 — leaving a neces­ sary balance of $65,000 to be attained by a June 30 deadline. Reese Jones Reese D. Jones, national president of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, was one of several prominent individuals named to the Wilkes College Board of Trustees at the year-end special meeting of the institution's governing body held in May at Weckesser Hall. Jones, a 1956 graduate of Wilkes, is cur­ rently president of the First Valley Bank, with regional offices throughout the Wyom­ ing Valley. He resides with his wife, the former Anne Swartwood, and their two children, Abby, 11, and Scott, 10, at 704 Pinetop Drive, Beth­ lehem. Jones is also director of the Philadel­ phia United Life Insurance Co., and received a Master's Degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. Gallet, who is a prominent New York law­ yer and was one of the most active students in the history of Wilkes during his college days, has the difficult task of pulling together alumni who will be able to assist him in meeting this June 30 deadline. In a letter to the nearly 9,000 alumni, Gallet wrote: "We have an outright gift of $150,000 for Wilkes College if our alumni can come up with $65,000 by June 30,1973. Jeffry H. Gallet we can do right now is raise $65,000 by June 30. Every bit helps. Give what you can . . . $10 to $10,000. June 30 is almost here. . , "The $150,000 gift from anonymous do­ nors will go to Wilkes if our alumni have raised $300,000 within the four-year period ending June 30th. This campaign by the Alumni Associa­ tion is run independently of the annual Wilkes College community fund campaign, which was concluded several weeks ago with the raising of some $257,000. "Contributions from concerned and gen­ erous Wilkes Alumni now total $235,000, leaving the sum of $65,000 still to be met. This is within our grasp and that is exciting. Add to this the knowledge that government experts calculate that the college suffered a staggering loss of almost $17-million in flood damage, a nearly fatal blow. The College At the same time, it was pointed out by Thomas F. Kelly, director of development, that the success of the community campaign in no way lessens the need for the alwaysimportant financial support of alumni, who have been a key link in the college's con­ tinual growth and development as a leading private institution of higher learning. �By Thomas F.

Michelini. Following the initial disclosure of the groups, Director of Development Thomas F. Kelly identified and defined them for some 60 division leaders and team captains. The six segments of the Wilkes College As­ sociates will be known as the "John Wilkes Club," the "Gene Farley Club," "Friends of Wilkes," the "Arnaud C. Marts Society," the "Admiral Harold R. Stark Society," and the "Gilbert S. McClintock Society." Kelly, in emphasizing the importance of these clubs and societies to the college, told the campaign leaders that the idea for the formation of the "Wilkes College Associ­ ates" was planned approximately a year ago, but because of the interruption in many such plans by the June flood it was impossible to implement until this year's campaign. In a statement contained in a brochure, passed out to campaign leaders after Presi­ dent Michelini spoke, the founding of "Wilkes College Associates" was described in this way: "Wilkes College, as is true of every inde­ pendent college, depends upon the support of friends. Without the generosity of indi­ viduals, foundations and business, Wilkes cannot provide the quality of education or maintain the public services to which it is committed. "As a means of showing appreciation for the generosity of friends, Wilkes has estab­ lished the 'Wilkes College Associates'. All contributing friends are included in the As­ sociates but three clubs and three societies have been formed to give recognition for special services. These clubs and societies bear the names of men whose names have been associated with Wilkes College during its formative years." The clubs and societies are: The John Wilkes Club —Friends giving $1,000 or more in any year become members. The club was named for John Wilkes, for whom the City and the College were named. He was Lord Mayor of London and a mem­ ber of the British Parliament during the American Revolution. Members of the club will receive an appropriate expression of ap­ preciation and will be guests of the College at specific affairs throughout the year. The Gene Farley Club — Friends giving $100 to $999 in any year become members.

The 1973 Wilkes College fund drive closed on a successful note recently as campaign chairman Charles Epstein announced to a gathering of 150 workers that the effort had realized its goal of $250,000. It was the most successful drive ever conducted by the college and brought to a culmination four weeks of solicitation by over 250 volunteers. Haskins & Sells Inc. Presents Flood Check With 265 cards still outstanding, a record total of $257,147 was reported to the gath­ ering in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. A check for a substantial sum has been presented to the Eugene Shedden Farley Li­ brary at Wilkes College for flood recovery by the Wilkes-Barre and New York offices of Haskins & Sells, certified public accountants, and the Haskins & Sells Foundation, Inc. Present at the recent presentation in Weckesser Hall on the Wilkes College cam­ pus were Dr. Robert Werner, chairman of the college's Commerce and Finance Depart­ ment; President Francis J. Michelini who ac­ cepted the check from John McHale, princi­ pal, Haskins & Sells; Michael Worth, assis­ tant to the president at Wilkes; Thomas F. Kelly, college director of development; Ed­ ward Ceol, principal, Haskins <Se Sells; and Robert Cavalari, senior accountant with the firm and a 1968 graduate of Wilkes College. In presenting the check, Haskins & Sells wrote: "We at Haskins & Sells are pleased to be of assistance to you and extend our hope that Wilkes College will recover from the disaster to achieve even greater success in its academic program in the future." Although the actual drive has been com­ pleted, a final report will not be given until the remaining cards have been covered. The principal speaker at the luncheon was Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, who expressed the heartfelt thanks of the college to the many volunteers. He pointed to the existence of the college as "a fundamental service toward the growth of a community." "We are living in an exciting era," he said, "and the Liberal Arts program is pre­ paring the student to intelligently handle information and understand people." "The understanding of people is the most important product of higher education, but the least susceptible to evaluation," Dr. Michelini noted. Director of Development Thomas Kelly called on division leaders for their reports and each gave an accounting of his unit. �.

FRANCIS J. MICHELINI President �INTRODUCTION The College was founded upon the belief that the human misery of economic denr which then gripped the region need not be perpetual, but that men and communiX5'0" STUDENTS be captains of their own fate if they are willing to act boldly and wisely to improve th and circumstances. The translation of this belief into action is reflected in the progra^ — Wilkes College Bulletin reviewed in this report, all of which represent "new paths" and all of which are direc/d toward the alleviation of human ills — in the world, in our nation, and in our comrnunT It is appropriate that Wilkes College be sensitive to human miseries in a community wl/' misery has been such a frequent and so recent a visitor. "Education is not a right or a privilege but an opportunity that carries with it obligations prescribed by the College and responsibilities shared with the student." Enrollment ere Commitment to constructive action stands at the heart of Wilkes College today and provid a link with our historic past. The quotations which head each section of this report have b largely drawn from official College literature, such as the Bulletin and the Faculty Handbook They represent the thoughts which have comprised the philosophical basis upon which°° our College has been built and upon which it continues to stand. Their inclusion in Despite the fact that an estimated 800 of our students resided in the area affected by the June, 1972 flood, full-time enrollment in September, 1972, fell to only 2479 from the 1971 level of 2575. In view of the tremendous losses suffered by many of our students' families in the disaster, we regard this result as evidence of our students' courage and determination to continue their education. This determination was evident during the summer of 1972 when over 90% of our summer students returned when classes were resumed within two weeks following the receding of the floodwater. However, we must not be blinded to the difficult realities faced by private higher education in the 1970's. It is a fact of life for all such institutions that substantial enrollment gains in the next decade are exceedingly unlikely. The success of Wilkes College and all of private higher education in the face of a declining college-age population and increasing competition from public institutions will depend upon our ability to: (1) improve efficiency of operation so as to minimize operating costs and hence minimize the gap between tuition charges at private and public institutions; (2) maintain a program of financial aid which meets the needs of students of limited means; (3) maintain and improve the quality of instruction and curriculum so that the student can perceive the advantages that make a private, liberal arts education worth the sacrifices necessary to obtain it. this report signifies the continuity of our philosophy and the unchanging nature of our fundamental principles. But with continuity in principle we must combine constant change in the ways we seek to further those principles and achieve our ends. The pages which follow present several new paths along which we are embarking in a "constant renewal of strength" and in search of "progress." While progress can be less comfortable than stagnation, it can also be exciting. Excitement will outweigh discomfort if we approach change armed with a thorough understanding of where we have been. We must, therefore, look to the past as well as the future. We must recall that this College, founded in depression, has survived wars, fires and floods in the past, and has emerged stronger from each ordeal. We must The balance of this report will discuss our actions in all of these areas — the effect of the new Learning Center upon instructional efficiency, the search for additional sources of student support, and the efforts of the Faculty and the Academic Dean to improve both the efficiency and quality of instruction and the curriculum. believe that as College and community emerge from this latest and most severe of all catastrophes, an opportunity exists for both to rebuild for an even better future. And beyond believing, we must work together to make this future a reality — we must work together in seeking new paths, in a constant renewal of strength, and in a constant renewal of our commitment to quality, character, and decency. Student Freedoms and Responsibilities This report looks to the past and to the future, but most of all it looks to you — the faculty, students, alumni, trustees, and friends of Wilkes College. The experiences of the recent past have taught us that far more than bricks and mortar, it is you who are Wilkes College, and it is you upon whom its future will primarily depend. £ Francis J. Michelini The efforts of our students following Tropical Storm Agnes and its devastating effects on our College demonstrated the degree to which so many of them regard Wilkes as truly "their" College. It also demonstrated the strength of character and sense of commitment present in our student body. While indeed heartening, the discovery of such characteristics should give us no surprise, for the College has always attempted to provide its students with a sense of attachment to and involvement in "their" College, while adopting policies designed to grant them the freedom and responsibility for their own conduct which leads to the development of character. We are mindful of the words of John Stuart Mill that "before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." Our faith in the ability of our students to grow through the simultaneous acceptance of freedom and responsibility has been proven sound. The Resident Assistant (R.A.) System adopted in our women's residence halls for the first time in the fall of 1971, replacing the "housemother" system, has proven most successful. It was the success of the R.A. system which led the Administration in 1971-72 to extend the visitation privileges already in January, 1973 2 3 �existence in the men's residence halls to the women's dormitories and operation of the system throughout the College. In the same spirit the Ad e*tenci the moved in the fall of 1972 to remove the directive that College personn l"1"1■■^trativer '5' on alcoholic beverages; therefore, the Council reaffirmed its judgment^ 01051 responsibilities, such as compliance with the law and with the dictates of 6ntrUst directly to the students. ° pr°Per behavior With the granting of certain freedoms, the students have been asked to responsibilities.

Student involvement in the affairs of the Coil TJe8e faculty Was broadened in December, 1971, when the faculty elected to invite non-voting student representatives to regular faculty meetings. 1969 1970 1971 1972 The Administration of Wilkes College has never responded unthinkingly to th of students on campuses across the country. Our actions have always bee dVk8'"8 role consistent with a coherent philosophy regarding the development of our stud ' and responsible citizens of a free society.

In this regard, the future of our Col|ePB aooears most promising. Our faculty has continued to grow professionally through its ow graduate study, writing, research, and community service, representing achievements too numerous to list individually in this report, while retaming for the function of teaching its rightful first priority. The growing professionalism and dedication to be found among the Wilkes College faculty is exemplified by the recent establishment of three new faculty committees. y A significant step toward increasing the effectiveness of teaching at Wilkes College was the Committee on establishment by the faculty in the Fall of 1971 of a Committee on Teacher Recognition and Teacher Recognition Effectiveness to "determine and administer techniques for evaluating and improving and Effectiveness teacher effectiveness." The Committee consists of six faculty members and three students. The establishment of the Committee on Teacher Recognition and Effectiveness is significant in that it was initiated by and is operated by the faculty. This Committee reflects the commitment of our faculty to quality education, and through its inclusion of student members, the committee embodies the philosophy of the College as expressed in the Bulletin, that "as student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of learning becomes the responsibility of everyone." Tenure Policy Committee Faculty Policy Committee In July, 1972, an ad hoc faculty committee was appointed to discuss the institution of tenure at Wilkes College and to make recommendations concerning appropriate policies for the future. At Wilkes, as at other colleges and universities, there is a need to evaluate tenure polity in light of its relationship to current realities. It is significant that at Wilkes the faculty has undertaken responsibility for this important examination. In the Spring of 1972, the faculty established a new committee to "deal with a broad range of faculty concerns" and to "concern itself with faculty policy matters not specifically delegated to any other faculty committee." The Faculty Policy Committee will provide the Administration with the responsible input of faculty wisdom and vision which must precede the important decisions faced by institutions of higher education in the coming decades. The continuing involvement of the faculty in consideration of the challenging questions which face us is our best assurance that critical decisions will reflect the collective judgment of the College community and will reflect a shared responsibility for the future of our institution.

Wilkes College is growing and developing and its curriculum reflects a concern with the needs and challenges of our time. Allied Health Services Recognizing the growing crisis represented by the critical shortage of trained health manpower in our community, where in 1971, prior to the flood, over 50% of the physicians were over 56 years of age, the College moved decisively in 1971 and 1972 to develop its * programs in the area of allied health sciences. The June, 1972 flood destroyed the offices of many local physicians, a number of whom have elected not to reestablish practice. Hence an already serious situation is about to become worse and our programs designed to increase the supply of health care professionals have assumed an even greater importance in this post-disaster period. One aspect of the College's thrust in the area of health sciences is development of a B.S. degree program in nursing, which commenced in September, 1972 with federal funding. Another significant program which commenced in September, 1972, also federally funded, is the six-year Wilkes-Hahnemann cooperative program in family medicine. This revolutionary program entails an integrated curriculum utilizing the facilities of Wilkes College, Hahnemann Medical College, and Wilkes-Barre area hospitals. The student completing the program will receive, at the end of six years, a B.S. degree from Wilkes College and an M.D. degree from Hahnemann. Receipt of these degrees may be followed by a residency in family medicine in Wilkes-Barre hospitals under the tutelage of practicing physicians. This mode of education is designed to encourage the young physician's interest in family medicine and a practice in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The program has received national attention and has been well-received by federal officials as evidenced by program sponsorship from the National Institutes of Health. Also related to the health field is a new program proposed by the Department of Biology in 1971 and endorsed by the faculty, to offer a 5-year B.S.-M.S. program, providing another opportunity to students interested in the life sciences/health area. Engineering Environmental Science In June, 1973, the first students to complete our four-year engineering programs in electronics and materials engineering will receive their degrees. The engineering department was among those severely damaged by the flood, but has "snapped back" to enable the fourth year of these programs to be completed. Programs in engineering will continue to develop in recognition of the need for trained manpower in a growing, technological society. Future development of these programs is, of course, closely linked to completion of the Learning Center, now under construction. • > one of man's The restoration and preservation of our natural environment promises to be most significant undertakings in the last third of this centurry. Critical to the success of IL Ml VII • • 8 9 J �jj c. this undertaking is a public knowledgeable in the environmental sciences and the preparation of individuals trained to pursue the many careers which will become avaj|ahi in this field. To meet these needs the College established programs in environmental sc le some years ago, before the current concern with the environment had emerged. The 'enC<:e logical extension of these earlier efforts was the establishment in October, 1972 of a Department of Environmental Science. The possible future development of a degree pro in this field offers a significant opportunity to our students and addresses itself directly fo3"1 an area of concern which will determine the future survival of our society and our species Drama and Theater Arts It has long been the philosophy of Wilkes College that education must reach the spirit as w as the mind, and that it requires cultural growth as well as the development of technical 6 skills. To promote such cultural growth our programs in the area of drama and theater arts have been expanded over the past few years and in January, 1972 the faculty approved the offering of a B.A. degree in English with a major concentration in Drama and Theater Arts. It is hoped that this program will enable us to make full use of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts and to attract students from all areas of the country interested in this type of program and attracted by our superb facilities and faculty. Air Force R.O.T.C. After several years of exploration and consideration, Wilkes College was selected in January, 1972 to be the location of a new Air Force R.O.T.C. unit. A Department of Aerospace Studies was established and this program commenced in September, 1972. This voluntary program makes available to our students another career opportunity and will contribute to the input of civilian-trained officers into the nation's military, a tradition of long-standing in our free society. Graduate Programs The College has long recognized the importance of opportunities for graduate training to the progress of Northeastern Pennsylvania. With this recognition we have continued to develop our graduate programs in the areas of business administration, biology, chemistry, education, English, and physics. As our region continues to rebuild and grow following the recent disaster we will continue to serve the needs of local firms, educational institutions, and individuals for graduate education. WCLH-FM The establishment in 1971 of a student-operated campus radio station, WCLH-FM, offers yet another opportunity for our students to gain extra-curricular experience in a field of growing career opportunity, communications and broadcasting. In addition, this educational station provides another source of cultural enrichment to the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Future development of academic programs in the area of communications remains a real possibility, toward which the establishment of WCLH is an important step. In a time of trial many independent colleges have enacted a program of retrenchment, often eliminating programs and sometimes generally limiting the opportunities available to students. We at Wilkes also feel the need for economy, particularly in the aftermath of flood destruction, but we recognize that the key to continued progress for independent colleges must lie not in the narrowing of our horizons but in the quality and imagination which we bring to the design of our curriculum. As reflected in the programs discussed above, the curriculum at Wilkes College is growing and changing. In a time of economic and social change the skills and strengths demanded of educated people are constantly shifting, and the role of educational institutions must change to keep pace with changing needs. Wilkes College can do no less than meet this exciting challenge. io �________ ~ '.. "That the College could make such significant progress in so short a time is a genuine tribute to its legion of friends - alumni, faculty, parents, and Wilkes-Barre citizens who have believed in its mission and supported it loyally. In essence, the Wilkes record is their record." — To Maintain the Forward Thrust, 1968 Following the disaster of June, 1972, the Development Office and the Alumni Office have been engaged in a concentrated campaign to raise the funds which will be needed to supplement the laboratory, and lecture hall facilities, the Trustees voted in October, 1972, to authorize a review of the resources required for completion of Phase II of the Learning Center, which includes completion of the third and fourth floor interiors and construction of an adjacent lecture hall.

Drawing our strength from the community, we have always recognized our responsibility to contribute to the growth and progress of the region. Our academic programs have been tailored to the needs of local industry and local educational institutions, and our many programs of service to the community and local industry have been directed to the specific needs of local people. Never has this bond between college and community been stronger or closer than today. Thus, in ways visible and in many ways unseen, the future of Wilkes College is intertwined with that of this region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our goal in the months and years ahead will be to continue to build upon this cooperative relationship between College and community and to work to solve our mutual problems so that the quality of life may become better for us all. The Wilkes College Institute of Regional Affairs (IRA) has a long history of service and a solid record of accomplishment under the leadership of the late Dr. Hugo V. Mailey. The appointment of Andrew Shaw- in 1971 to succeed Dr. Mailey assures the continuation of this outstanding record, which has placed the IRA in a position of high regard throughout the region and state. In the aftermath of the recent disaster, the IRA's activities have been expanded and it is working closely with the Community Flood Recovery Task Force and local officials to establish a strong foundation of local government upon which the region's recovery' can be built. administration "The Administration is primarily an instrument for coordinating the energies of all and for assuring attainment of the finest possible results in all departments." — Faculty Handbook, 1971 The Administration of a college faces a diverse constituency of students, faculty, trustees, governmental agencies and officials, and the public. Success in meeting the concerns of these diverse segments of society can only be achieved through the skillful coordination of efforts by trained, dedicated professionals, who are possessed of diverse backgrounds, skills, and interests. Then when we choose as our goals the immeasurable qualities of character, wisdom, and understanding, the function of academic administration becomes an unequalled challenge in which the ideal practitioner must be philosopher, statesman, and mystic. The Administration of Wilkes College has attempted to serve its diverse constituency and provide needed strength while holding administrative expenditures to a minimum, thus freeing resources for the all-important task of education. In October, 1972, the College was awarded a grant from the Haas Community Fund to support a program of service to area flood victims, now known as the Wilkes Community Effort. This program is designed to bring the resources of the College directly to the residents of the emergency mobile home parks and to other flood victims. It will utilize the talents of faculty, administration and students in a people-oriented effort which will complement the programs of the IRA, the Flood Recovery Task Force, and federal, state and local governmental agencies. However, formal programs of community service comprise but a part of the College's role in the community. Less visible, but most significant, is the position of Wilkes College as a major local employer and a significant component of the local economy. Between 1963 and 1968 the College spent over $6.5-million for new construction, by local contractors with local labor. Currently under construction by local construction personnel is our Learning Center, with an estimated cost in excess of $5-million. Wilkes College itself has operating expenditures exceeding $6-million per year and most of the nearly $3-million paid in wages to faculty and staff is spent in the local economy. In addition, during 1970-71 the College paid $108,660 in wages to students under its work-study program and awarded $713,645 in scholarships and loans, much of it to local students. In 1972 these figures were considerably higher. A recent study revealed that full-time students at Wilkes spent approximately $1,912,500 in local businesses during a typical academic year, and the many parents and friends who visit the College from outside the area spend additional tens of thousands of dollars in the local economy each year. The economic activity generated by Wilkes College clearly represents jobs and income for local households and places the College in the position of a major local industry. Less tangible, yet of even greater importance, is the contribution which the College makes to the cultural life of the community through its many plays, concerts, lectures and art exhibits, 14 is Student Personnel A new generation of students has been accompanied by an increased need for counseling and consultation. Expansion of our student services personnel in recent years has proven to be a wise investment in an atmosphere of peace and cooperation on our campus. Our students' understanding of the less-than-ideal circumstances under which classes commenced in September, 1972, is a product of the skill with which our deans and housing officers maintained open lines of communication with the student body and contractors throughout this trying time. Data Processing and Management Information A growing enrollment has in recent years created an increased burden of record-keeping and financial accounting. The development of our data processing capability in the past three years has relieved a significant portion of this burden while at the same time providing a new educational resource for students and faculty. In addition, as the Computer Center becomes more fully integrated with the operations of the Registrar's Office and the Comptroller's Office we will have increasingly available the kind of management informatton upon which sound decisions must be based. The ability to spot trends in applications, enrollment, revenues, expenditures, and other variables, and to evaluate the implications of alternative courses of action is essential to sound planning, programming, and budgeting operations. The soundness of such operations is essential in a time of fmanc.al stnngency and the Board of Trustees has received initial studies in this area of mst.tut.onal cost accounting. �FINANCES igency demanding skillful m---retrenchment to minimize deterioration^^ - ' . . ■ O'" --------ion in educational quality." — McKinsey Report, 1971 ,Or l"d<iPe"d“t The dismal prospect portrayed by the McKinsey Report presents a double challenge to Wilkes College. As shown m the accompanying chart, Wilkes is heavily dependent upon tuition as a source of revenue. Our commitment to maintain a high degree of accessibility to a Wilkes College education for young people of all economic backgrounds prevents us from greatly increasing the tuition and fees charged to students. At the same time, "to minimize the deterioration in educational quality" is far from an adequate goal for Wilkes College in the years ahead. Indeed, we are dedicated to improving quality and expanding the range of career choices available to our students. The Administration is keenly aware of its heavy responsibilities in achieving these twin goals - the improvement of quality while holding down the rising costs of education. Additionally, we face a responsibility to our faculty to maintain salary levels competitive with other institutions and commensurate with the cost-of-living. While the June 23 flood prevented a year-end audit for 1971-72, it is clear from our records that the College finished the year substantially in the black. Faculty and Administrative salaries for 1972-73 were increased by the maximum amount permitted by law, while a balanced budget was maintained. There is reason to be proud of this record of fiscal responsibility. However, it must be remembered that the maximum salary increment was made possible by a $100 increase in tuition for 1972-73. While tuition at Wilkes remains below that of most comparable institutions, we have a special responsibility to minimize these charges. Accordingly, the 1973-74 budget will anticipate a salary increase with no increase in tuition. It will be a balanced budget, founded upon expected improvements in the efficiency of our operations which will generate the savings needed to finance improved salaries. In a sense, our 1973-74 budget sets a high goal for all of us at Wilkes College. It is the first budget since 1965 that anticipates no increase in tuition but rather calls for improvements in instructional efficiency to provide the increases in salaries which our faculty and staff require and deserve. The achievement of this goal will require the best efforts of the Administration, faculty, and staff, and the availability of facilities to permit efficient learning. Completion of the Learning Center and the adjacent lecture hall plays an important role in this effort. But its success will depend most heavily upon the awareness, concern, and cooperation of the entire college community in the coming months and years. We must approach this challenge with an awareness that it does not confront us alone. Every independent institution of higher learning in America is faced with the fact that the college-age population is not increasing at a rate to match the growth of the 1960's and that the tuition gap between private and public institutions is nearing a maximum. Faced with these circumstances, many institutions have in recent years operated at a deficit, some have frozen salaries, and some others have closed their doors. Through sound planning and careful management, Wilkes College has avoided their fate. We approach the task of improving efficiency and maintaining quality from a strong base, but we must not permit our strength to breed complacency. The needs of our students, our community, and our nation demand that Wilkes College continue to build upon its history of success, and we are dedicated to that end.

Alumni Rolls Increased by 600 A bit of the Watergate controversy touched the Wilkes College campus on June 3 when Senator Ervin (D-NC), chairman of the senate committee investigating the highly publicized break-in, delivered the main address at the 26th Annual Commencement Exercises at Ralston Field. The senator built his entire address around the safeguarding of freedom as he charged that the federal government is also discouraging people from their "First Amendment rights to the freedom of association and to peaceably assemble and petition government for redress of grievances/' One of the highlights of the program was the conferring of two honorary doctorates, Doctor of Humane Letters, to Senator Ervin and to former Wyoming Valley flood coordinator, Frank C. Carlucci, new Under Secretary of the Department of Health, Edu­ cation and Welfare (HEW). Earlier in the day, the Rev. Dr. Jule Ayers, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre, offered the Baccalaureate address to over 600 members of the 1973 graduating class. Dr. Ayers based his message on "Seeing the Invisible." Among the special tributes paid to distinguished members of the class was the "Outstanding Graduate of the Year" award, pre­ sented by Reese D. Jones '56, president of the Wilkes College Alumni Association. For the first time the award was given to three people — Michael J. Barski, past president of the Student Government; Joel Fischman, president of the Senior Class, and Robert Linaberry, outstanding scholar-athlete. Graduation ceremonies officially concluded with an informal open house at the Hotel Sterling. The event is sponsored annually by the Alumni Association for the new graduates. For the first time in history the "Outstanding Graduate of the Year" award was divided between three distinguished students.

In JUNE, 1973, Wilkes College is on its way to emerging from that devastation as an even stronger institution — although much remains to be accomplished to achieve complete rehabilitation of the College. During the devastation, all 58 campus buildings were inundated with total damage estimated in excess of $15 million. L—- During the summer, the initial and perhaps most difficult restoration was accomplished by National Guardsmen and crews of volunteers who included faculty, students, parents, and friends. To the astonishment of many, the College struggled through the summer, completing classes in the upper floors of its buildings, and began the academic year on September 25 in campus facilities which were considered "operational." Throughout the year, the restoration process has continued. Construction crews have replaced the Guardsmen and the volunteers, and more thorough restoration has continued where the initial cleanup concluded. �Recognizing the tremendous needs of the community, the College sought to of attention. The devastation and recovery of Wilkes is symbolic provide increased services for flood victims. A grant of $50,000 from the Haas Community Fund enabled the College to establish the Wilkes Community Effort. WCE, as it is called, has provided many services for flood victims which include: of the destruction and rehabilitation of the communities of ^providing student labor for cleanup and Throughout the year, the College has been a focal point Wyoming Valley. Programs of federal support were launched to assist not only the College but also the families and communities which experienced severe losses. Consequently, many political dignitaries visited the area during the year and invariably visited the campus to view the recovery process and, occasionally, to hold press conferences. home-repair work for elderly or needy flood victims; ^arranging transportation of individuals from their temporary post-flood homes in trailer parks to the polls on Election Day and to cultural and athletic events at Wilkes throughout the year; ^providing educational workshops and recreational activities for flood victims. �FEDERAL SUPPORT Support from many sources has financed the restoration of the College to this point. The bulk of the cost has been covered by federal funds released through the amendment to the Disaster Relief Act. The College has received and spent several million dollars of federal funds for documented flood repairs. As repairs and replacement continue, so do negotiations with federal officials concerning the expenditure of the funds. Since each policy decision sets a precedent for this, the first such application of the law, decision-making is accomplished slowly and with great care. PRIVATE SUPPORT Areas of recovery which cannot be federally funded have been covered, in part, by support from corporations, foundations, friends, and alumni. Last year, the College determined a need to raise at least $2 million to supplement federal support. The College has received pledges of $1,618,730.37 from private sources.. . �S’ d § < 3 AREAS OF NEED NOT COVERED BY FEDERAL FUNDS 1.

Brother Larry '65 matriculated the next autumn and then Drew'71 and Guy '73 followed to make the Guban­ ich family affair complete. Man responsible for setting the quartet in motion was Charles Jackson, a 1951 alumnus, and a teacher and coach at Phoenixville High School. Through the efforts of Jackson sev­ eral other Wilkes students including Ted Travis-Bey '65, Dick Morgan '64, and Russ Jenkins '67 also found their way to the Wilkes-Barre campus. Not only did all four Gubanich sons attend Wilkes College but each made a valuable contribution to campus life. xleGe Wilkes-Barre,Tc lyMnia 18703 Alan is currently on the faculty of the University of Nevada at Reno.

The Blue and Gold raise the curtain on their 27th varsity season on Sept. 22, entertaining Susquehanna University at Ralston Field. l>^t- ? moments this fall. Supercharged by an explosive offensive backfield, the Wilkes GRIDDERS return their most potential since the late 1960's when the Colonels went rampant over the east, winning 37 of 40 outings. Least person affected by the wave of excitement is Colonel taskmaster, Roland Schmidt who observed, "We have the talent but in the end it is going to take hard work, desire, and the right Kings Point on November 17. First task for Schmidt in pre-season drills will be finding J a Leadreplacement for record breaking field general Jeff Giberson. Lac ­ ing candidates are sophomores Chuck Suppon, more noted in the running game, and Greg Snyder, a rifle-armed passer. Backfield is seasoned with the return of last fall's two leading ball toters — sophomore Fred Lohman and junior Andrew Check. The pair rushed for 495 and 435 yards respectively last annum. Joining the duo are newcomers, junior John Baron, a transfer from Temple; and sophomores Rodney Smith and Charlie Cala­ brese. Wilkes is deep in pass receiving with junior Bill Horan, 35 re­ ceptions, 425 yards; and senior John Collins, 25 receptions, 303 yards; lighting the way. Only loss in the offensive line was tackle John Holland. This years unit should stack up with All-MAC senior co-captain Rich Lorenzen, seniors Tom Boshinski and Tom Panetta, juniors Bob Mazzitelli and Bill Metzger, and sophomore Joe Dettmore. Defensive line also rales a big plus with senior co-captain Jeff Grandinetti anchoring a beefy and experienced "front four" of senior Joe Pavill and Steve Adamchak plus junior John Van Gorder. Despite the loss of All-East, All-State Frank Galicki, the line­ backing corps will be more than respectable with seniors Craig Deacon and Rich Lack, junior Terry Blaum, and sophomores Steve Leskiw and Don Kulick providing the saavy. Major questionmark may be in the defensive secondary where the Colonels need a big man to team up with junior Alan Barrett and sophomore Fred Marianacci. Any of the following areas could be significantly bolstered with the rapid development of outstanding incoming freshmen athletes. Colonels start the year with a 106-101-6 all-time record. SOCCER enters its 25th season at the college and Colonel coach Tom Rokita would like nothing better than a reversal of last falls 4-8-1 log. After an 8-4-2 effort in 1971, Rokita's troops took a nosedive last year as the Wilkes offense became silent and the loss of goalie Chip Eaton became apparent. A seasoned defense plus the rapid development of junior for­ ward Ray Grysko could make the Blue and Gold contenders. Improvement can also be expected in the CROSS COUNTRY team as the Colonel harriers begin their third campaign of varsity competition. Coach George Pawlush has all but one lettermen back from last years squad which went 1-11. Key man in Pawlush's camp is senior co-captain Jere Woods, who registered two firsts and three seconds before becoming lame in late season. Best output by any team last fall was the 4-3-1 showing of the WOMEN'S FIELD HOCKEY squad. Coach Gay Meyers has per­ formed wonders with the Colonelettes after previous mediocre seasons.

Winter, 1973-74 Campaign Plans Oui'lined by Umphred The advance gifts portion of the annual Wilkes College Campaign assumed an active status during a recent meeting in the cam­ pus board room when William Umphred '52, chairman of the current drive, outlined plans for the appeal which will carry into spring of next year. > i I Umphred, an executive with the Common­ wealth Telephone Co., holds the unique dis­ tinction of being chairman of the campaign and chairman of the Planning and Develop­ ment Committee of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. The kickoff meeting included a welcome and message of encouragement from Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini, who was in­ troduced by Umphred. Dr. Michelini told the gathering of key community residents that there is a "continuing need for support to Wilkes College during this second post­ flood year." It was announced by Umphred that the original need after the flood to cover areas not included in the assistance provided by federal funding was $2,200,000. The last campaign raised $1,618,730 in pledges from alumni, friends, foundations, corporations and bequests. The balance of $581,270 continues to be of vital importance to the completion of the college's flood recovery plans and has been designated as the goal of the campaign now getting underway. During the advance gifts campaign efforts will be aimed at obtaining pledges that will lead into a goal of $250,000 for the commu­ nity and alumni phases of the appeal in the spring. The balance needed to meet the goal Members of the advance gifts committee for the annual Wilkes College Campaign met last month in the board room on the campus to map plans for the drive during the current academic year.

Information provided for use in this campaign by Thomas Kelly, college director of development, revealed a tax credit pro­ gram which is expected to be an aid in obtaining gifts. Kelly explained that the Pennsylvania De­ partment of Community Affairs has recog- nized a need to assist flood-affected students at Wilkes and has declared the college eli­ gible under the Neighborhood Assistance Act Program. This action means that the college can solicit support from Pennsylvania corpora­ tions, banks, savings and loan associations and insurance companies.

Sordoni III, president, Sordoni Enterprises; Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini; Sylvia Danoff, coordinator of the Catlin Exhibition; and Prof. J. Phillip Richards, member of the Art Department. Thirty-six paintings from the seldom-cir­ culated national collection of works by George Catlin were placed on public display by Wilkes College for a six-week period on Nov. 25 at the Sordoni Art Gallery, which is included in the new $6-million Stark Learn­ ing Center on the campus. The collection was brought to Wilkes Col­ lege on loan from the Smithsonian Institu­ tion's National Collection of Fine Arts and the National Gallery of Art. Catlin, who was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1796, gained international acclaim as a por­ trait painter and a miniaturist, but is best known for his paintings of the American In­ dian. His works date back to almost a cen­ tury and a half and represent his work with both North and South American subject matter. Wilkes College President Francis J. Michel­ ini called the presentation of Catlin paint(cont’d on page 6) �Testimonial to Eugene S. Farley A "Testimonial in Memoriam" to Dr. Eugene Shedden Farley, first president of Wilkes College who died unexpectedly on September 17, was adopted as an official and lasting tribute in action taken by the Administration, the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. Announcement of the action by the three major bodies of the college was made by Wilkes College President Francis J. Michel­ ini, who read the testimonial before each group. The "Testimonial in Memoriam" reads: "The President, Administration, Faculty and Trustees of Wilkes College address this resolution in memory of their late colleague. Eugene Shedden Farley, the first president of Wilkes College. "As long as there is a Wilkes College the name and spirit of Eugene Shedden Farley will linger in the hearts and minds of those who will walk along the pathway of educa­ tion that he brought forth from nothing but inspiration and hope and made into a vi­ brant, productive educational womb. "Each of us knew him in a different way. And, yet, in many ways we knew him in the same way as children in a large family come to know their parents. "He was a man who could be as gentle and compassionate as a warm Summer breeze gliding across a farmland. And when the occasion arose, he matched the barriers that stood in the way cf progress with a fierce determination and thunderous temper­ ament that swept aside seemingly impas­ sable obstacles. "The man whose memory we honor in this testimonial was a dreamer. But he dreamed of goals he was willing to fight to attain. And when he had attained them, he dreamed beyond. "When he passed away suddenly on Sep­ tember 17th cf this year, he had achieved a goal that far surpassed anything that even he had dared dream cf almost four decades earlier. "He had not only built a magnificent edu­ cational institution, but he had accomplished a parallel goal cf helping a cnce-depressed community share and grew with his institu­ tion of higher learning. "Wilkes College will never stop missing Dr. Eugene Shedden Farley because there will be forever a part of him involved in every step forward. "Ten years ago to the month that he passed away. Dr. Farley addressed the in­ coming freshman students on the subject of 'Great Thinking Is High Adventure/ "What he said in the closing two para­ graphs of that address are worth repeating in this testimonial. The words, which he was so adept at lacing together in a way that in­ vited you to think deep, appear now to have been almost a final message of guidance. This is what he said: Perhaps I should now tell you that I could wish to venture with you in your quest for high adventure and magnificence. Although this is my desire, it is only a desire, 'fou will soon outstrip me, for each generation must move beyond the generation that precedes it. If your years at Wilkes are productive, your thoughts and your understanding will —.ore beyond the generation that assists with your education. Those of :-.s who are your teachers would have it so. for this is our purpose and our desire. 1 hope,, with all my heart, that you will gain the necessary neo essam: vision and dp-np'm develop the essential ccapabilities. Great effort and great self-dzsdpli cline will be repaired of you. Satisfaction inc constructive work may be your greatest reward. "With these guiding final words and the memories that each of us holds of Dr. Farley, we pay this honor to the memory of Eugene Shedden Farley, never forgetting that he humbly sought only to point the way to the accomplishment of goals that men as dedi­ cated as he would dream of after he had departed." -CeMuiitg (Men Begiiw Pkm Turn Bids have been sought on construction in excess of $l-million by Wilkes College (o complete the third and fourth floors and construct a 300-seat lecture hall of the new Stark Learning Center on South River Street, Wilkes-Barre. President Francis J. Michelini identified the next step in the completion of the $6million learning center as "Phase II" and explained that it represents a continuation of a specific plan that had been reviewed and approved by the board of trustees. The college is currently using the fourstory brick building on a limited basis, but President Michelini and members of the board are anxious to see the structure com­ pleted so that the improved facilities that will be included can be made available for instructional purposes as soon as possible. Progress on the construction was delayed for a period because of the flooding in June of last year. This has resulted in the con­ clusion of the interior work on the first two floors being continued at present in parts of the section being used. Completion of the upper two floors of the building will provide facilities for the com­ puter center; the Department of Environ­ mental Science; psychological testing facili­ ties and experimental psychology labora­ tories under the Department of Psychology; nursing laboratories, offices and classroom; and classrooms for the Department of Math­ ematics. President Michelini expressed his appre­ ciation for the assistance from friends of the college and private industry and business during the recent campaign, which provided a sizeable portion of the more than $l-million that will be needed to cover the cost of completing the center. The Wilkes president explained that the flood-caused delay in construction worked against efforts to complete the building un­ der cost estimates set prior to the disaster. During the interim construction costs have gone up sharply. This has caused great con­ cern to the college in planning for comple­ tion of the new learning resources center.

Pawlush, Editor ALUMNI MEET CHALLENGE Whitby Reflects on Recruitment "Alumni have played a major role in aiding admissions in the past and we hope that they will continue to help us in the fu­ ture," was the way Dean of Ad­ missions John Whitby reflected on the contributions of alumni in student recruitment. "It is usually difficult for many to engage in recruiting because of jobs and other com­ mitments," Whitby said, "but many of our graduates, espe­ cially in the teaching field, have steered prospective students to­ ward Wilkes." "Anyone can help and we urge alumni to seek out interested students. A good start would be to fill out the form below and re­ turn it to the office as soon as possible. We will take over from there and forward an application and catalog," Whitby added. In the near future, the Admissions Committee of the college is preparing a list of guidelines which should spell out additional alumni involvement. During a break in this year's homecoming activity. Atty. Jeffrey Gallet '64 was presented a certificate of appreciation for his lead­ ership in the 1973 national alumni fund drive. Participating were, left to right, Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Wilkes president; Atty. Gallet: Art Hoover ‘55, Director of Alumni Relations; and Carl Havira ’60, regional vice-president, Wilkes Alumni Association. Wilkes College traces its gift giving back to 1937 when Con­ yngham and Chase Halls were presented to the college by Mrs. Bertha Conyngham and by Admiral and Mrs. Harold Stark. To adapt these buildings to college use, a sum of $30,000 was requested from the community and the effort exceeded its goal. This was followed by gifts from two trustees, Gilbert McClin­ tock and Dorothy Darte. These donations were for the purpose of assisting deserving students with the problems of tuition. Since these early efforts the college has alternated annual cam­ paigns to raise scholarship monies with special campaigns for funds with which to acquire or construct essential facilities. By far one of the most ambitious drives ever conducted was the recently completed "Alumni Challenge" which was charged with raising $300,000 from 3,000 alumni by June 30,1973. It took some late-hour activity by many concerned alumni using such means as a local telephone campaign which made over 1,000 calls in the Wilkes-Barre vicinity, but the goal finally was attained. Art Hoover, Director of Alumni Relations, had nothing but praise for the many workers and alumni donors: It is hard to single out any one person but it was rather gratifying to see so many people working together to achieve our challenge. Special tribute was paid during the 26th Annual Homecoming Weekend to Atty. Jeffrey Gallet '64, who headed the 1973 Alumni Fund appeal down the stretch. Gallet, a member of the law firm of Seavey, Gallet, and Fingerit in New York City, was instrumental in directing the "Alumni Challenge" to meet its goal. A resident of Bayside, New York, Jeff is married to the former Jill Marks. Gallet, a Political Science major at the college, grad­ uated from the Brooklyn Law School in 1967. He recently received a faculty appointment at the Brooklyn school to teach real estate law. Bi A RECRUITER Do you know a high school student who may be inter­ ested in coming to Wilkes College?

Colonel wrestlers embark on a most am­ bitious slate with no less than seven major university opponents on tap. Coach John Reese has silenced all skep­ tics, putting his lifetime 155-32-6 coaching record on the line against the likes of Lehigh. Navy, Oklahoma, Army, Syracuse. Hofstra. and Massachusetts, plus perennial college division powers North Dakota State. Mont­ clair State, and East Stroudsburg State. Wilkes registered a 16-2 log last annum. NCAA has split its immense college divi­ sion into separate Division 21 and Division III classifications and the college will share in the historic move by hosting the first NCAA “Division III tournament on March 1-2,1974. Coach Reese is banking his hopes on nine returning lettermen to fill out eight of ten weight classes. Biggest question mark in Reese's plans comes in the 118- and 126pound classes where the veteran taskmaster must fill voids left by the graduated Bob Roberts and Jay McGinley. Leading candidates for the vacant berths are freshman Rich Mahonski [125), a for­ mer PIAA State champ; and freshman Lon Balum (126). A real dogfight exists at the 134-pound class where sophomore Dave Ellis. 9-0-1 in duals; senior John Chakmakas, 8-1-2: and senior co-captain Art Trovei, 29-3-3, are vy­ ing for the same spot. One of the losers will shift to 142. Trovei, a fifth place NCAA finisher, occupied the position last year but would have a better chance going all the way at a lower weight. Senior co-captain Mike Lee is set at 150 and equally has the credentials to capture a national title. Mike, 27-2-1 in dual wars, placed third in the 1972 confab. Depth could be a factor from 15S to heavy­ weight as Coach Reese has only experienced senior Gene Ashley 15E 9-5; sophomore Jim Weisenfluh (167;, 9-4; senior Bob Yanku (177), 17-13-2; junior Joe Grinkevich i'I9C), 16-9-2; and junior Al Scharer (Unlimited), 7-2-1, at one deep in the experience roster. Some relief is expected from sophomore Wayne Sherman and junior Jeff McDonald. Both have the tools to break into the start­ ing lineup. Lycoming, Elizabethtown, and Delaware Valley are quickly dosing the talent gap, making it tougher and tougher for the Col­ onels to repeat as Middle Atlantic Confer­ ence crown holders. Wilkes has won five straight and 12 of its last 17. Cage tutor Rodger Bearde enters his third year at the Colonel helm with most of last year's squad returning. Blue and Gold bare­ ly missed making the post-season Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs last winter and will try to make amends this time around. Bearde guided the hardwooders to a 13-11 effort in 1972-73 and seems to have the Wilkesmen believing in themselves. This year's unit will be molded around a quartet of players — Clarence Ozgo, a 6-4 junior; W Sqwub Slid Ok Mixed Ude Greg Buzinski, a 6-6 junior; Steve Ference. a 5-11 junior; and Jack Brabant, o-4 sopho­ more.

In making Wilkes College eligible for this pro­ gram a ceiling of $123,750 in tax credits has been established. The next meeting of the committee will be on Wednesday, Dec. 5. At this time division leaders will report on the progress of the ad­ vance gift campaign and will consider selec­ tions for team captains in the general com­ munity campaign to be held in the spring. A report sent recently to individuals and private organizations broke down the areas of need not covered by federal funds as they existed prior to last year's drive to raise $2,200,000. These needs are: 1. Replacement of Library Holdings (The cost of replacing lost volumes by microfilm and the extensive labor cost of handling and cataloging such replacements adds increased burdens on the college.), $250,000. 2. Scholarships to Flood-Affected Students (Several hundred students resided in the flood area and stand in need of financial aid.), $350,000. 3. Supplies (Federal funds provide replace­ ment of a one-month stock of supplies. Like most firms and institutions, the college kept an inventory of several months' supplies which were consequently lost.), $300,000. 4. Landscaping (Replacement of shrubs, lawns, trees, and gardens is not provided for by federal assistance.), $100,000. 5. Learning Resources Center (The com­ pletion of this facility, already under con­ struction, was vital to the college prior to the flood. Post-flood recovery plans relate even more heavily to this crucial facility.), $1,200,000. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Spring, 1974 ALUMNI BEGIN QUEST ON MILLION-DOLLAR GOAL Community Phase Surpasses $250,000 If the community phase is any indi­ cation, the Wilkes College 1974 Cam­ paign is off and running on its goal to raise the one million dollars needed for student financial aid, construction, equipment, and completion of state re­ quired renovations to the campus. Final report luncheon in the com­ munity phase of the campaign on March 27 revealed that over 200 vol­ unteer workers had raised $253,000. Although one part of the drive is completed, the total campaign is far from over. "As we begin our alumni solicitations we are approximately $750,000 short of our goal," stated Art Hoover '55, Director of Alumni Relations. In a recent letter to all alumni, Dr. Richard Rees '62, chairman of the 1974 alumni phase stated. "Some of the headlines in newspapers today in­ dicate the plight of many institutions of higher learning — particularly pri­ vate liberal arts institutions like Wilkes College."

Rees furthered, "Wilkes, like all of us, has had to cope with spiraling costs and inflationary pressure while, at the same time, maintain its academic ex­ cellence." "Increasingly, independent liberal arts colleges must turn for help to their alumni — former students who have benefited from educational ex­ periences at those institutions," Rees said, "Wilkes is no exception. But, in another sense, Wilkes is an exception because of the extra demand on its re­ sources brought about by the flood disaster of 1972." At the final report luncheon of the community phase, conducted at the Hotel Sterling, expressions of appre­ ciation were communicated to the workers by Wilkes College Board Chairman Thomas H. Kiley; Francis J. Michelini, president of the college; and Thomas Kelly '69, college director of development. The community phase of the cam­ paign drew its first response at a luncheon meeting on Wednesday, February 27, with a kickoff at which James N. Wade, special assistant to Governor Shapp, delivered the major address. At the final meeting Kelly re­ minded alumni and friends of the col­ lege that although there has been a line of success in the first phase, the one million dollar mark remains the major goal. "This is where we must pick up the ball," added Hoover, who has been working very closely with Rick Rees, "I'm confident that the close to 9,000 alumni will do their part in making the million dollar plateau a reality." �TO A ,,with LOVE AND APOLOGIES rENERATlON f^rr^Econ r omists.

What are the general and specific areas where Economists have been disappointing? First of all is the oft-overlooked considera­ tion that Economists are not endowed with any mystical talents to make final judgments on Economic policy — either in a command society or a market system. They can show the consequences of Action A vs. Action B, but beyond that William Buckley was right: Society might as well as resort to names selected at random from the Cambridge Telephone areas Directory. Yet the forays into normative by Economists is'undernormative areas by Economists is understandable because the fun and action and prestige may be with Economists as policymakers. My second area of general distress is a corollary' of the first. Economists are no dif­ ferent from the rest of the human race as far as lust for power is concerned. And power may be the only tangible or intangible not subject to lhe Law of Diminishing Mar­ ginal Utility. Now does it not logically fol­ low that Economists visualize much more power accruing to themselves in a society that entrusts decisions concerning the fundamental problems of what society is to protah Its scarce resources, etc/to-whom b oken down into consumer spending, pnVate Investment spending and 8°™enta expenditures. Aggregate supply? That s that " decree line drawn from the origin °hen we present the problem graphically familiar to all undergraduates. Following the Keynesian tradition, we associate the probJezns of equilibrium with the aggregate de­ mand blade of the scissors. Embryo students must master the significance of deflationary cap full employment surplus, fiscal drag, none of which are of earth-shattering im­ portance save for the fact that they deal with the unlikelihood in a market economy of the attainment of an optimal (full employment) Net National Product without stimulative monetary and fiscal actions Freely translated this means budgetary deficits perenially financed by our central Banks newly created money. Now all this heaped on the serious stu­ dent in about his eighth week of exposure to Principles must puzzle and vex him if he re­ calls that in the first week he was forced to digest the central fact of . Economics , ,—. its, definition of adapting society s limited land labor and capital to the infinite wants of hu­ mans for goods to fulfill their biological and psychological needs. The giants of the disciplines, Malthus and Ricardo and Say for example, in the nineteenth century were concerned with the problem of aggregate supply. The facts of life today, running far ahead of the Great Depression orientation of professional Economists, dictate a return to consideration of the aggregate supply problem. The obses­ sion with sufficient aggregate demand has brought about that most debilitating of Eco­ nomic phenomena, inflation.

U.S. streams for the Council of Envi­ ronmental quality and she is working with the Environmental Protection Agency on the effects of detergent chemicals to learn which are least haz­ ardous to water quality. She also is in­ volved in several extensive studies of the Delaware River and bay. The Philadelphia Award, established in 1921 by Edward W. Bok, is given annually to the person who has ad­ vanced "the best and largest interests of the community." Dr. Patrick, who is more at home in wading boots and pith helmet, scoop­ ing plant and animal life from streams all over the world, was the first scien­ tist to develop the theory that the pol­ lution level of the stream can be mea­ sured by the diversity of organisms which live in it. She is convinced that the United States must stop being a throw-away nation and become one of recycling. She maintains that air, land and water have become so polluted that a sense of urgency is needed to clean up the wastes before the world is no longer habitable. In addition to heading the Academy of Natural Sciences, Dr. Patrick teaches biology at the University of Pennsylvania. She received the Gimbel Award in 1969, the Merit Award of the Botanical Society of America in 1971 and the Franklin Institute's Dol­ linger Pure Environment Award in 1960. Last year, she was given the Eminent Ecologist Award by the Eco­ logical Society of America. Dr. Patrick is married to Charles Hodge IV, professor emeritus of biol­ ogy at Temple University. Their son, Charles, is a first-year student at Tem­ ple's Medical School. STUDENT UNION BUILDING BECOMES A REALITY I NOTICE At the regular meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association held in Weckesser Hall on Saturday, March 16 Nominating Committee was appointed to consider candidates for the> ing offices of the Association: President, Executive Vice President, Se Treasurer, and (12) Regional Vice Presidents. I Dr. Ruth Patrick, internationally known ecologist and chairman of the board of the Academy of Natural Sci­ ences, will be the principal speaker at the 27th annual Wilkes College Com­ mencement. This was announced jointly recently by Thomas H. Kiley, chairman of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees, and Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini. The Commencement will be held on Sunday, May 26, at 3 p.m. at Ralston Field, when approximately 500 under­ graduate students and about 60 grad­ uate students will receive their degrees. For the first time this year the Bac­ calaureate service will be combined with an earlier afternoon outdoor cer­ emony for the convenience of the graduates and their guests and in keeping with problems which may in any way relate to the energy crisis as it exists during late May. In announcing the speaker for this year's commencement, Mr. Kiley and President Michelini expressed elation over having been able to obtain an in­ dividual who is known and respected on an international level. An earlier announcement concern­ ing the acceptance by Dr. Patrick was sent to the members of the Board of Trustees, following approval by the Executive Committee of the Board, President Michelini wrote: "I am especially pleased with the selection of Dr. Patrick because she was a member of the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania when I was a graduate student there in the early 1950's. Furthermore, Dr. Patrick will be the first woman Commence­ ment speaker at Wilkes College and will be a representative of the sciences, from which we have not selected a Commencement speaker for a number of years. "With our continuing thrust in the area of medical education, nursing, environmental science, and engineer­ ing, and with our graduate programs in the sciences, I believe it is fitting to have a scientist of her caliber as our speaker." Dr. Patrick will address the Wilkes graduates on "Ecology and Energy." This topic is most fitting inasmuch as she recently was named the recipient of the 1973 Philadelphia Award — a $15,000 prize to be given later in the Spring of this year. She gained international fame as the scientist who devised the present standards for measuring the ecological well-being of waterways. Dr. Patrick's interest in ecology covers more than 30 years and she has made major contributions to environ­ mental research. She is a leading au­ thority on diatoms, microscopic algae in water, and is co-author of the book, "Diatoms of the United States." She recently completed a study of ( n in Anya'urT1.nus of Wilkes College who wishes to have (his/her) nat?e Pstatem»(7lderatl°n for any of the offices is requested to submit a wr ‘7, before June 1 tartL'uClaSS year ' 0,fice desiret)) t0 that effeC‘ andvJ?|kes College.

Originally scheduled for a September opening, alterations on the former classroom building had to be delayed on account of construction in the new Stark Learning Center. According to Pete Jadelis '74, student government president, "We are approaching the development of Church Hall in two stages." "The first, which already has been completed is a lounge area for students desiring a little escape between classes. In addition to chairs, television, and stereo equipment, newspapers, magazines, and dispensing machines are also available," Jadelis said. Second and long term stage consists of developing the basement area. This is being done under the auspices of the Student Union Board. The SUB, Jadelis explained "has been created to administer the game room in Pickering Hall, as well as the Commons recre­ ation room, and the Student Union Building." = !ir|r J] J Directing the operations of the Student Union Building is senior Marty Pobutkiewicz. A total of 30 students are involved in the maintenance of the three recreation areas. In announcing the opening of the long awaited center, Jadelis reminded Wilkes students of their responsibility in assisting with the upkeep of the structure. �ussoM™" ™ X’dli„lht ALUMNI ROBERT CAPIN AND ANDREW SHAW AM0Ng App^b Three summer trips Association's ^'f'onSe^upco"15^"10"^ vacation sen Director Art Alumni Relabon. fhr H°over'55'aend Mtf■ Arthurs Travel trips, arranglom a Copenhagen AdService, range Disney World venture, June 27 J ?

It has been said that the survival of mankind has become a race between education and catastrophe. Consequently, we can only hope to avert catastrophe by preparing young minds to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Only if we strive toward that goal can we look to the future with confidence. Wilkes College has always existed for the purpose of providing quality educational opportunities for students and, consequently, the College is confident that its graduates will participate in meeting the future needs of our nation and our community. But, students need assistance during their formative years, and the financial burdens imposed by the flood have only increased this need. At Wilkes College, 70% of the student body qualifies for and receives some form(s) of financial assistance. So, the College must seek funds to attract highly qualified students and to assist capab e students with limited financial resources. Tax Credits for Donors The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, under the Neighborhood Assistance Act, has provided tax credits amounting to $123,750 for Wilkes College. These credits will be allocated to corporations, banks, savings and loan associations, and insurance companies, doing business in Pennsylvania, which provide a gift to Wilkes College by June 30,1974 in support of flood-affected students whose income does not exceed a prescribed limit. The amount of the donor’s state tax credit will be calculated at 50% of his gift, and can be applied against the Corporate Net Income Tax, Shares Tax, Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax, or Gross Premiums Tax. The credits will be allocated on a “first-come” basis until all credits have been utilized. The Development Office of the College welcomes questions you may have concerning this unique program. �♦? I —3 -^1 x ... a college is FACULTY The strength of a college rests in the quality of its faculty. Over the years, Wilkes College has attracted and retained competent faculty members. Although the primary emphasis at Wilkes relates to teaching, the faculty is also involved in research, in counseling, in academic administration, and in community activities. The faculty has recently developed new programs and courses in medical education, nursing, engineering, journalism and broadcasting, international studies, and environmental science. Simultaneously, the faculty has strengthened the graduate programs in business administration, education, mathematics, and the sciences. Also, the College anticipates that several patents may result from current research projects. But, the College must strive to provide the resources and salary levels necessary to retain competent faculty and thereby maintain the strength of the College. ... a college is FACILITIES ( sJ Quality in facilities is a prerequisite for quality in learning. Even before the Conyngham Hall fire of 1968, Wilkes College recognized the need to construct a learning center to provide facilities for programs in the sciences, mathematics, psychology, nursing, medical education, art, and engineering. Despite the flood, and with the support of friends and alumni, the $4 million Phase I of the Learning Center was completed and is in use. The College has also accepted the contract to complete Phase II which is presently under construction and will cost an additional $1.6 million. Phase II will include a much-needed lecture hall. (Presently the College utilizes lecture facilities in a church near campus.) However, the cost of the lecture hall has doubled since it was originally designed in 1970. Furthermore, the College must secure resources to provide the necessary science equipment and audio-visual equipment to utilize the facility as it was designed. 10 I Ji :x • �... a college is ft ' fa SERVICE A college must respond to the needs of its community; in so doing, the educational process assumes new meaning. ? liRB Er* ... additionally, the College is faced with floodrelated expenses of renovating and repairing some of the older structures on campus. Since the flood, state requirements have called for an upgrading of fire and safety regulations which will affect twenty-seven College buildings. These mandatory expenses, which are not reimbursable by any governmental agency, have resulted in the need for costly, but necessary, expenditures on facilities. Consequently, the College has met part of these expenses by drawing upon operating funds, but it must seek to secure additional support to comply with state regulations and to assure adequate, safe facilities for students and faculty. I From its inception, Wilkes College recognized that it was an integral part of the community. Consequently, the College assumed its role in community leadership long before this trend became fashionable with other institutions throughout the nation. The Institute of Regional Affairs has provided varied services to municipalities throughout the years and, more recently, provided the administrative leadership for the Flood Recovery Task Force. The Wilkes Cominunity Effort, funded by the Haas Community Fund, has served over 20,000 people in various ways since the flood. Various student organizations annually provide programs to improve the quality of life for elderly citizens and orphaned children. Other special community programs include Upward Bound, Program for Exceptional High School Students, Concert and Lecture Series (open to the public), Art Exhibits (open to the public), Reading Clinic, Educational Development Center, the Annual Tax Clinic, and Performing Arts programs. �STUDENTS Yet, one additional ingredient is required to complete the college... . a college needs SUPPORT Unless friends recognize the value of a college and participate in sustaining it, the college will not survive. Throughout the years, friends and alumni have nurtured the College and provided the support necessary to transform a seedling institution, operating in one rented building, into a strong institution possessing fifty-eight buildings valued at $25 million. FACULTY SERVICE But a college cannot rest on past achievements. The support which has been provided rested on the faith that continual support would be forthcoming. The fact that the College raised $1,618,730.37 during the last fiscal year was a tribute to the faith of past friends and the thoughtfulness of present friends.

It was during one of “ trios back to Wilkes-Barre that I got a fanc^to talk with Hank Casilli, chairman of the Wilkes Art Department.' "A brand new kiln purchased in the mar­ ket would cost in the vicinity of 58,000 but we figured if Hank, Tony Toluba (a machin­ ist), Fred McMann, and myself could put our heads together, we could come up with a superior kiln for much less." "I knew what Wilkes needed," recounted Stallone, "and Fred knew how to do it but needed the idea. Tony was invaluable weld­ ing the device together." After a month the kiln was finally com­ pleted.

The kiln can run on any type of gas and can readily be converted to kerosene or oil This is a big plus in these fuel shortage days. "It looks very complicated to operate but actually only needs four controls to turn on," noted Stallone. "The kiln contains governors and meets all safety standards." There has been a tremendous growth in ceramics in recent years. "People want to get their hands wet. It also has physical, romantic, and therapeutic values," Stallone said. Stallone, married to the former Patricia Lewis '70, expects to complete his studies at JOE STALLONE Alfred in June. Since there is not a really great market in pottery he will probably go into teaching. "Certain types of ceramics are marketable but there is not really too big of a demand. In teaching there is a feedback from the stu­ dents and plenty of shows to exhibit the fin­ ished products."

The Colonels said it all March 1-2, winning the first national championship in school history. Not only did the matmen of John Reese gain the NCAA CD III wrestling title, but they did it in blockbuster fashion, nipping their closest of 59 rivals, John Carroll University, by 49 points. Wilkes gained an enviable total of eight placewinners (out of 10). Crowned national champions were John Chakmakas (134), Art Trovei (142), and Mike Lee (150). Only one step behind were Rick Mahonski (118), Gene Ashley (158), and Al Scharer (Hwt.). Adding fuel to the blaze was Lon Balum (126), third; and Jim Weisenfluh (167), fifth. All but Trovei and Lee will be back next year. When asked about the contributing factors which led to the Colonels greatest moment, veteran mentor Reese pointed out, "First it was hard work, determination, and desire and finally our caliber of competition had much to do with it." Two weeks before the NCAA confab, the Blue and Gold, after a close 12-point advantage in 1973, annihil­ ated all foes in the 16-team Middle Atlantic Conference event, scoring 199 points (their closest challenger was Elizabethtown with a distant 79). So thorough was the Wilkes onslaught that the Reesemen produced eight champions, one runnerup, and a third. Registering MAC titles were Balum (126), Chak­ makas (134), Trovei (142), Lee (150), Ashley (158), Wei­ senfluh (167), Jeff McDonald (177), and Scharer (Hwt.). Once accused of scheduling mediocre foes, John Reese slated the cream of the nation and more than held their own in setbacks to Lehigh, 22-15; Navy, 21-17; and North Dakota St., 21-18. Just one tiny break in each of the three duals would have changed the store’. Only one sided defeat was to the Sooners of Oklahoma, 31-9. Navy had a relatively easy time in winning the pres­ tigious Easterns (EIWA). Now with a national title under his belt, maybe John Reese is silently thinking that is where the Colonels belong if given a chance. Since breaking the ice with Lehigh in a tourney four years ago, the Wilkesmen have become accepted to the longstanding mat circles and have added Eastern mem­ bers Lehigh, Army, & Navy to their permanent schedule. “J°Ranyc ca“inet Post - .^Kl COLONEL MATMEN NUMBER ONE IN THE COUNTRY vVill‘eS.C°iv uncharted heights thts wininto PreVI°“ne the best record in the 28-year r"^iS,ferthe sport at the college. hi5,oryO „ did the Charges of Rodger Bearde Not only din ‘ (han any™ other — edition win f've "?°but added icing to the t— cake,. cap. ever (19’u)br first tournament (Scranton wring *e,rposling a record nine-game winChrf^’n'and making their second trip in ning ske,n' t"“he MAC Northern Division three years to payoffsbe t t0 come as every The be,S.1.:may “ ear's 13-man contingent will member of this£yt; ‘the’fold next year.

It is not uncommon for a player to pass off a good shot for a better one, Bearde furthered. Despite this fact, all four of the quartet have a chance of reaching the coveted 1000point plateau. First in line is Buzinski (843) while Ozgo (718), Brabant (691), and Ference (675) wait in the wings. Defense hasn't exactly been hurting either as the Blue and Gold held 25 foes to an aver­ age of 64.4 points per game, almost six less than the previous low. Architect of the Colonels success is 34year old Rodger Bearde, who has coached Wilkes to a 44-29 record in his three seasons at the campus. Bearde, a Spring City, Pa. native, previously compiled an 84-38 log at Warwick High School (Lititz). w ar* BRUCE JACKSON FOLLOWS DAD'S FOOTSTEPS Some 26 years ago, a tall lanky stu­ School, Jackson was responsible in dent named Charlie Jackson was ^?!.ring manX f‘ne student-athletes to . ,1 1 i i it r anoiiy UilC MUUeilC-dUUeteS tO .i /aAm,tba A Coach Wilkesjnduding the Gubanich broGeorge Ralston s Wilkes College team, thers, Dick Morgan, u.iu and Ted-Travis— ---------- , — a ts.— uavw Now some two decades later, Charlie's Bey. son Bruce is playing an identical role According to Ralston, Charlie was for Coach Rodger Bearde's Colonels. burned out by his senior year.

(cant'd from page 2) TO A GENERATION the aggregate supply has much to do with the simple fact that we do not have the wherewithal right here and now to satisfy consumer wants, revitalize our private pro­ ductive capacity, and comply with the latest pipedream of our elected representatives of things needed in the public sector now. Very simply, we do not have the resources to provide free (of user costs) medical care, free transportation, subsidized housing if we also insist that access to goods and services in the private sector continue to serve as in­ centive to persons for making their lives pro­ ductive. Economics as a discipline remains most fascinating from the point of the College teacher — and many of his students. Hooli­ ganism as a way of life, never a vivid feature of the Wilkes Campus, is present on few if any campuses. If only Economics and Econ­ omists would get back to teaching the valid truths of the discipline, of the role of prices and profits, then the pride and fun of in­ structing in this Dismal Science would be boundless. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Shedden Earley. Library Hahnemann Accepts Seventeen Students From Wilkes Seventeen students who at the end of June completed their second under­ graduate year in the innovative sixyear Wilkes-Hahnemann Cooperative Medical Education Program have been notified that they have been accepted for early admission to the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia. The program, which was initiated in September 1972, calls for an intensive six-year program of study that enables the successful candidates to receive simultaneously their undergraduate baccalaureate degree and a Doctor of Medicine. The announcement of those selected to enter the second (two-year) phase of the six-year program was made jointly by Atty. Frank Townend, pres­ ident of the program's Policy Commit­ tee, and Dr. Anthony J. Turchetti, act­ ing executive director and clinical co­ ordinator of the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program. The 17 named to go on to further study at the medical college in Phila­ delphia are: John Azain, Wilkes-Barre; Kathleen Barnhart, Philadelphia; Ed­ ward Boyer, Morristown; Jeanne Cul­ linan, Willow Grove; Michael Ferraro, Forty Fort; Ellen Field, Drexel Hill; James Guzek, Dunmore; Susan Krischunis, Luzerne; Thomas Lenns, Scranton; Maureen Maguire, Bear Three of the principals who pioneered the creation of the innovative Wilkes-Hahnemann sixyear cooperative medical education program in family medicine are shown at one of the meetings which were held in Wilkes-Barre, Washington, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg, Left to right, Dr. Ralph Rozelle, Wilkes College; Dr. Wilbur Oaks, Chief of Medicine at Hal ihnemann; and Representative Daniel J. Flood. Creek; Bonita Metzger, Wilkes-Barre; Patricia Morris, Palisades Park, N. J.; Cynthia Patterson, Towanda; Deborah Pincofski, West Nanticoke; Janet Polansky, Pittston; Cynthia Soloman, Ashley; Doug Trostle, Adamstown. At the time of the announcement it was pointed out that the initial plan under which the accelerated program was developed to provide more phys­ icians in family medicine considered the fact that all those who completed the first two-year phase would not be admitted to Hahnemann. Dr. Turchetti emphasized in his an­ nouncement of the 17 accepted that those who were not selected will have the opportunity to continue a pre­ medical course and apply for early ad­ mission at the end of the third year and for regular admission after the normal four-year pre-medical degree program. Nearly 100 began the highly com­ petitive and academically tough pro­ gram two years ago. That number had been gradually reduced for various reasons to less than 40 by the end of the third semester when the group en­ tered the final portion of the first twoyear phase that led to the climatic selection of the 17.

Michelini as he found himself addressing the same class that he greeted as freshmen when he assumed the college presidency in the fall of 1970, Dr. Michelini’s Baccalaureate message and commencement address by Dr, Ruth Patrick, internationally known ecologist, shared the spotlight at the college's 27th annual commence­ ment, Sunday, May 26, at the 109th Armory, Kingston. The exercises had originally been scheduled for Ralston Field but the 559 graduating seniors and 76 masters' students had to receive their degrees indoors when unexpected showers prevailed. Other keynotes of the 1974 commencement found honorary degrees being conferred upon Dr. Patrick and the Rev. Dr. Jule Ayers. The Rev. Ayers, a long-time friend of the college, and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, was cited for the "recognition of his dedicated service to his faith, to his community, to young people, and to his fellow man regardless of race, creed, or color. His courage, conviction, and forthright approach in dealing with real life situations have earned the respect of all who know him." Among the special tributes paid to distinguished members of the class was the "Out­ standing Graduate of the Year" award, presented by Art Hoover '55, director of alumni relations, to Peter Jadelis '74, who served as 5G president during the 1973-74 school year. Dr. Michelini’s Address I am honored to share with you, this final ceremony marking your commencement from Wilkes College. I am emotionally moved for two basic reasons: first — the recognition that this marks the first commencement ever held at Wilkes where its founding father, Dr. Eugene Farley, is not present. Although the memory of him is not as sharp or clear to you as to many others of us here, you should recognize that your educational opportunity was made possible by the vision and sacrifice of Dr. Farley and the many men and women who supported him in that vision. The second reason is more personal. Four years ago, I welcomed you as freshmen. That was my first official act as president of Wilkes College after succeeding Dr. Farley. You and I shared many hopes and dreams that day. Four years later we can all say we never came close to imagining the challenges that would face us. Many did not meet those challenges and are not here. Many met them and made difficult choices that directed their lives in other pathways. Some have died — like Bobby McBride — and in their untimely deaths showed us all our mortality and taught the lesson of the need for faith in man's immortality. We did not dream of many of the challenges that were presented and were met. The flood of June 1972 posed questions of the very survival of your college. No institution had ever suffered such destruction as was visited upon this college and its community. All of this area here, to the very tops of those bleachers was under water just two years ago. Survival? Not just survival — but a renaissance of spirit resulted from that disaster. More was learned about the human spirit, the limited value of material possessions when weighed against the human values of love, compassion, unselfishness and friendships. You students — our faculty — our administators — our staff personnel — all struggled, and worked to bring your college back to continue its mission. Support came from all over the United States — friends, companies, alumni — and in 89 days — and these 12 and 14 hour work days, every day — dormitories were open — academic buildings functioning — and your education continued. So our four years together has been a series of challenges — in the classroom — yes — but also in the lessons and trials that are part of life. These should have emphasized for us all the marks of an educated man — that the faculty formulated and adopted many years ago as the goals they set for their efforts — what Wilkes College hopes to achieve in the educational mis­ sion. Let me review these for you and ask you to consider in retrospect what understanding and commitment you have made to becoming "an educated man." An educated man . . . . . . seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding; . . . possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments; ... is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men; . . . has faith in the power of ideals to shape the lives of men; . . . knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance; . . . cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis; . . . has ethical standards by which he lives; . . . respects the religious convictions of all men; . . . participates constructively in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community; . . . communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. If these ideals expressed as statements have meaning to you — then certainly your years at Wilkes have charted new directions for your life. The baccalaureate is traditionally a spiritual charge — an emphasis placed on our acknowledgement of the values that transcend scholarship and grades — values which in truth are the goals we seek in education. In these four years we shared challenges to integrity, to authority — experienced the slanders and lies that bring pain — but also we shared the fun — the successful achieve­ ments — the joy of a heartfelt "thank you," and the awareness and confidence that the final joy comes from the ability to live with yourself in peace and with personal integrity. Nothing else matters if you can count on that faith in yourself to meet challenges the future may bring just as we have shared and met the many challenges of the past four years. God bless you all, One of the proud moments of the 27th an­ nual Wilkes College commencement was the conferment of an honorary degree by Dr. Francis J. Michelini, left, to Rev. Dr. Jule Ayers, a staunch supporter of the college. Elated over his selection as the “Outstand md-­ ing Graduate of the Year” Pete Jadelis '74, 74. president of the Wilkes College student body Tdy during the 1973-74 year, is shown flanked by Art Hoover '55, director of alumni rela­ tions, left, and Dr. Francis J.

Launching the alumni slate of events will be the judging of homecoming displays on Friday evening. Annually the Wilkes student body co­ operates with various creative floats and displays. Later at 9 p.m. the grads will move on the Hotel Sterling where a relaxed and informal "Homecoming Huddle" will get the alumni primed for Satur­ day's athletic events. Various features of the Friday gettogether include refreshments, souvenirs, and a sing-along with Mildred Gittins at the piano. The annual meeting and report of the executive committee of the alumni association will convene Saturday morning at 9:30 at the College Commons.

Sooner or later every alumnus falls into this situation at one time or another. To dispell any uncertainties in obtaining an official Wilkes College record, Doris Barker, newly appointed Registrar, has outlined the procedure. "We accept only written requests," she explained, "this must be done to protect the student or graduate." The first transcript after graduation is free but additional ones cost one dollar. All requests should be directed to the Recorder, Wilkes College. To avoid unnecessary delays, we would appreciate the payment with the written request, Mrs. Barker added. Also included with the request and payment should be the name and address to whom the transcript should be sent. A transcript is an official document only when it is signed. anne/cOn ™ wi” n°* send ™ official transcript to the person whose name ^X^£or^-^n an unoffWa ‘form HOMECOMING (cont'd from page 1) Bill Buss '73, Judge Arthur Dalessan­ dro '49, Bill Dongas '69, Ray Frey '66, Millie Gittins '46, Dr. George Hudock '50, Anita Janerich '52, Garf Jones '71 Daye Lombardi '70, Dr. Jean Marie Meholchick '69, Tom Moran '49, Jen- or a11 students actively enrolled are now mailed nifer Morgan '74, Peter Patalak '68, George Pawlush '69, Andrea Petrasek 69, Pat Ratchford '73, Rick Simonson 69, Lou and Charlotte Szabados '65, John Tasker, Jr. '73, Dr. Carl Urban­ ski 57, John Wills '64, Pete Wine­ brake '64, and Ray Yanchus '60. department of Commerce and Finance, died in Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 10 at the age of 69.

One editorialist said in part: "Endowed with character and patience as well as char­ acter and ability, Dr. Rosenberg was an in­ defatigable worker and had the confidence and respect of the public, labor and management for his diligence and knowledge.

For Jan Kubicki '67 the Wilkes Col­ lege Theatre program has proven to be a springboard for bigger and better horizons. After 18 months of work, Jan, now a member of the English faculty at Marple Newtown High School, near Philadelphia, recently had a dramatics book published on the "Techniques of Group Theatre." "The book contains several illustrations," explained Kubicki "and 'and ineludes several techniques which I perfected during my years at Marple Newtown." Hopefully the book which covers the experimental aspect of theatre will be used as a resource for dramatics on * i Since assuming the duties of head dramatic coach at Marple Newtown, Jan's students have captured state championship honors at Penn State, three of the last four years. Kubicki traces the start of his thea­ tre experience to Al Groh and Wilkes College. "I really enjoyed my parts in Othello and Camelot," he recalled.

Football coach Roland Schmidt believes that he has the material to bring home a fine season. "We won't be bowling people over," expressed the 13-year grid men­ tor," but will have to rely upon quickness and intelligence to get us into the win column." Schmidt, who has five Middle Atlantic Conference titles and two Lambert Bowl's under his belt, enters the 1974 season with a lifetime 62-32-1 coaching record. The Colonels just barely missed capturing MAC Northern Division laurels last year, finishing runnerup to Juniata which posted an identical 5-1 record. Wilkes is hungry this time around and is being favored to gamer their first circuit crown since 1969. Big project for Schmidt in early practices was rebuild­ ing a defensive "front four" which lost three starters, including All-American tackle Jeff Grandinetti. Junior ends Don Kulick and Lou Maczuga form the nucleus of the revamped unit while junior Tom Bradshaw is a sure regular at tackle. Senior captain Terry Blaum and junior Steve Leskiw pace a veteran linebacking corps while the Colonels de­ fensive backfield has been rated by some observers as one of the best in history. Three juniors — Fred Marianacci, Tony Schwab, and Dave Trethaway, make up the defensive secondary. Another strong Wilkes point is the offensive line 4th ROW: Paul Adams, Ken Gompertz, Bill Lemakos, Tony Shipul. >ula, Don Williams. Charles Crawford,.

Senior Bob Mazzitelli is the incumbent at center. Wilkes has two fine quarterback veterans in juniors Greg Snyder and Chuck Suppon. Coach Schmidt is faced with the question of which will better fit in his "Power I" formation. The Colonels have five solid running backs in seniors John Baron, Rodney Smith; junior Fred Lohman; sopho­ more Mick Calabrese; and newcomer Ed Murray. All were Wyoming Valley All-Scholastics at one time in their high school careers. Equally excited about his teams prospects is soccer chief Tom Rokita, who points to a talented group of veterans plus several fine newcomers. Offense will be built around senior Stellios Patsiokas, who set a Blue and Gold one season scoring mark last annum with 18 goals. Joining him on the line is George Bene Hoane. Other veterans being counted on are seniors Mike Shoemaker, Gary Mocko, Steve Sergi, and junior Tom Trost. This marks the 26th year of play for the booters, who come off a 6-8-1 log. According to Coach Rokita, "If we can play consistently and avoid any major injuries, we should be able to better the .500 mark."

Judy Simonson Arenstein '68, na­ tional chairperson of the alumni phase, reports that the Alumni Appeal is part of the $250,000 annual campaign for funds, currently underway at the col­ lege. Mrs. Arenstein reflected, "Now that the community portion of the drive is winding down, it is up to us as alumni to pick up the ball and put the effort over the top." "All of us have been affected in one way or another by inflation," she wrote in a recent letter to alumni, "and JUDY SIMONSON ARENSTEIN ’68 our alma mater is no exception.

"We will then go into a telephone campaign, which in recent years has proven very successful, Really giving us a boost are the cur­ rent students at the college who have volunteered their services to aid us meet our goal." Art Hoover '55, director of alumni relations, observed, "We continually want to remind alumni that contribu­ tions from friends and business asso­ ciates solicited by alumni, can be credited to the alumni fund." Regional vice presidents have also assumed the added responsibility of soliciting through personal contact in their area at least ten new members for the Gene Farley Club. This is open to all alumni who contribute at least $100 annually to the alumni fund. Another important aspect to be re­ membered is that many companies are participating in the matching gift pro­ gram, which means that the employer will match the gift that you send to the college, thus actually doubling the donation. �REGIONAL VICE-PRESIDENTS ELECTED Twelve new regional vice presidents were selected by members of the Wilkes College Alumni Association through a mail ballot during the month of November.

The newly elected Wilkes College Alumni Executive Committee wasted little time in getting their elbows deep into work, meeting on campus, January 18. Dr. Joseph Stephens, president of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, re­ ported that the recent national election drew response from 1563 alumni. A total of 8500 ballots were mailed. Art Hoover, director of alumni relations, announced that he was gratified with the feedback from the Alumni Survey, but that there are still many alumni who have not returned their survey forms. The return of the form, he stressed, will help considerably in updating alumni files and identifying areas of alumni interest and involvement. Due to extremely high costs and the lack of funds, publication of the alumni directory will have to be temporarily delayed until sponsors are found. Dr. Stephens presented a list of activities which will be assigned to the regional vice presidents. The vice presidents will in turn be responsible to Judy Arenstein, the execu­ tive vice president. Jim Ferris, Joe Weinkle, and Rick Masi will comprise the recruiting and admissions committee. Primary mission of this group will be to meet with college officials and de­ termine what alumni can do in the recruit­ ment of potential students. Handling the career conference is Bob Vanderoef. It was suggested that alumni could possibly return to campus for a day and give first-hand information on their field to interested students. Joe Wiendl has been entrusted with the alumni continuing education committee. His job will be to enlist other regional vice presidents to check in their respective areas for trends in college education in that region. The 28th annual homecoming has been slated for Oct. 11-12,1975. Bill Homnick has been assigned the task of working with the local committee to develop programs which will attract new life back to campus. Joe Weinkle will head the committee on insurance and trusts. A small percentage of individual insurance could be assigned to the college as beneficiary. As chairman of the public relations and publicity committee, it will be Gary Horn­ ing's job to stimulate alumni into sending news back to campus.

Aldo Fameti will work with alumni-student relations. One area that he will attempt to develop is the alumni in residence idea, where alumni return to campus for an in­ formal rap session with the students. An­ other is the big brother-little sister program in which the alumnus will be assigned a stu­ dent in his career area. Job placement is also a matter of alumni concern. Walt Chapko will devise a program which will alert the alumni office when openings are available in their field of en­ deavor. Nick Reynolds will serve as historian and parliamentarian and part of his duties will be to summarize the year's progress, and send a report to next years committee.

Junior Art major Joe Dettmore is shown with his latest paint­ ing which typifies the team spirit exhibited during the 1974 foot­ ball season which saw the Wilkes Colonels cop their sixth Middle Atlantic Conference title. Leading the informal discussion were Dr. Richard Rees, a 1962 alumnus and member of the Wilkes College Education Department, and James Ferris, a 1956 graduate, who currently serves as a prin­ cipal in the Wyoming Valley West School District. Many people hold to the old addage "that a picture is some­ times worth a thousand words." One person who wholeheartedly subscribes to the idea is Joe Dettmore, a starting offensive tackle on the Wilkes football team, who doubles on the sideline as an aspiring artist. Joe, a junior, who scales in at 6-3, 230 pounds during the grid season, recently completed an oil portrait which in short order summarizes the Colonels 1974 championship season. "I got the idea about a week after our season finale with Albright," remembers the talented art major, who spends a great amount of his spare time as the art editor of the Amnicola, the annual student yearbook. "A fellow art major brought in a photo which was taken during the halftime of the Wilkes-Albright game. We won the game, 14-9, and the triumph gave us the MAC title," Dettmore recounted. "It was my first time that I had ever been on a championship squad and I was still excited." While at Coughlin High School, Joe had two close near-misses, losing to Wyoming Area by a single point both times. "I was determined to make the memory stick," he said. Wasting little time the muscular lineman got right to work and within a month had the project completed. The toughest part of the task was to approximate the colors since the portrait was taken from a black and white photo. "Painting can be a costly proposition," related Dettmore. "The price of the canvas and paint alone may run well over $40, and that doesn't even include the frame." After stretching the canvas, the next step in painting is to pencil sketch the actual picture. Once this is done the artist begins working colors into the portrait and this is where much time is spent. "J. Phillip Richards of the Wilkes Art Department has helped me greatly," he related, "Just forming a knowledge of the colors and distinguishing between darks and lights takes a great amount of experience." Dettmore feels the small college atmosphere has been conducive to his athletic and artistic pursuits. "I just don't think I could have done both at a bigger school. Wilkes had given me the chance to play football and prepare for the future." Shown prior to the start of the meeting are, left to right: Art Hoover, director of alumni relations at Wilkes; Carl Zoolkoski, Mountaintop, president of the local chapter; Mr. Ferris; and Dr. Rees, discussion leaders. Much interest was paid to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Also considered were teacher strikes, chang­ ing professional attitudes, and the revision in school codes. 3:00 p.m. 2:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. * * 3:00 p.m. I& Q •1R n m 3:15 p.m. M 3:00 p.m. 3:00 p.m. 3:15 p.m. 8:30 p.m. 8:30 p.m. 2:00 p.m. 3:30 p.m. Wilkes Campus DON'T FORGET ?! ! 28th ANNUAL HOMECOMING WEEKEND October 10-12, 1975 II » I J WILKES JUNHOB MIXES STUDIES WITH ATHLETICS FANECK FINDS ALASKA INTERESTING Among the 18,000 men and women working on the $6-billion Trans-Alaska Pipeline that stretches 798 miles from the Arctic shore in the north to Prince William Sound in the south is a former Wilkes-Barre resident who graduated from Wilkes College with the Class of 1950. In the quarter century since he gained his bachelor of arts degree in social studies at Wilkes, John Faneck, son of the late Mrs. Margaret Faneck, 25 Coal Street, Wilkes-Barre, has covered just about every section of the United States as he tasted the fruits of various job projects. His history of travel and work has taken him to Birmingham, Detroit, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Pasadena . . . and now has him locked into what he has described as his most interesting experience in Fairbanks, Alaska. Faneck is employed by the Bechtel, Inc. construction crew that is playing a major role in the construction of the massive pipeline that has caught the attention of a world that has become extremely conscious of energy and the part that this project will play in delivering oil southword on the continent. During his spare moments, the former Wilkes student wrote a descriptive article about the environment in which he is now working. He entitled it "Treasure Beyond the Yukon," and sent it to Wilkes College with a note that the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania "might be interested in knowing a little about what is going on up here." The article, too extensive to be reprinted in the alumnus, appeared in the Wilkes-Barre Sunday Independent. In his article, Faneck describes the new Alaskan development and its effects upon the countryside as well as its inhabitants. He maintains that with all factors counted and considerations given to all he has witnessed he still remains objective, not passing judg­ ment on the project as either right or wrong. -:N©TICE;° A limited number of 1972, 1973, and 1974 Amnicola's are still available for purchase at $5.00 per copy.

The Colonels had seven champions — Preefer (118), Lon Balum (126), Chakmakas (134), Mike Kassab (142), Ashley (158), Weisenfluh (167), and Scharer (Hwt.).

He also has a part time private practice at the school faculty clinic. In addition to lecturing he has been appointed to the staff of Mount Zion Hospital as an instructor and lecturer in the Dental Internship program. While the Wilkesmen were denied a repeat NCAA III crown, finishing third to John Carroll by a 19-point margin, they did gain two new national champions in 15S-pound senior Gene Ashley and Weisenfluh was named as the tournament's "Outstanding Wrestler" for the second straight year, while Scharer joined the distinguished ranks as a three-time MAC titlist. The Colonels ended the dual season with a 12-2-1 record. After two early season losses to Navy and Lehigh, Wilkes ripped off eight straight wins, before being knotted by William & Mary, 17-17. During their mid-season tear, the Blue and Gold garnered big triumphs over Syracuse, 22-19; Montclair St., 22-16; Hofstra, 25-13, East Coast Conference champions; and Virginia, 28-12, At­ lantic Coast Conference titlists. Injuries cut deep into the Wilkes camp and Coach Reese had to compete without the services of sophomore Rick Mahonski while getting only partial duty from Weisenfluh and Kassab. The Colonels used 21 different grapplers in the so-called re­ building year. The list included nine sophomores and eight fresh­ men, which should give Reese a good base of experience to work from when they join the "Easterns" next season. John Reese, who registered his 200th coach:: ling win during the 1974-75 season, is pictured with his 1975 NCA :AA III champions Jim Weisenfluh, le left, and Gene Ashley, right. Turning in brilliant won-loss records this season were seniors Chakmakas (28-5-1), Ashley (27-3-1), junior Weisenfluh (17-4), and sophomores Preefer (18-6-1) and Kassab (20-4). Cagers Doomed Dm They don't give trophies for coming in fifth but Roger Bearde will probably wonder for the rest of his coaching career of how far his 1974-75 Wilkes College cage team might have gone -with a couple of breaks. All signs in pre-season pointed to a banner year as the Blue and Gold had nine lettermen and all five starters back from the pre­ ceding year's squad, which had gone 19-6. The Colonels appeared off and running, winning five of their first six starts and then the skies literally caved in as the Blue and Gold found themselves struggling with a 6-6 record at mid-season. Just when everything looked bleak, the Wilkesmen finally re­ gained their touch and proceeded to win eight of their next nine games. As the Colonels entered the final week with a 14-7 log, Coach Bearde was fully cognizant that his team had to defeat either Scranton at home or Elizabethtown to make the MAC Northern Division playoffs and hopefully further on the NCAA III trail. "We were 5-3 in league play, having lost to Upsala, Wagner and Philadelphia Textile on the road. We had to beat Scranton, it was as simple as that," Bearde recalled. Wilkes appeared to have Scranton on the ropes, leading by ten points early in the second half, but then everything just stopped and the Colonels found themselves 74-72 losers after two over­ times. Emotionally drained, the Blue and Gold cage season ended two days later when they suffered a 75-72 setback to Elizabeth­ town. Under different circumstances it might have been the greatest season in Wilkes basketball annals as the Colonels had three players join the exclusive "1000-point career club," which prior to this year had only five members. Seniors Greg Buzinski (1174) and Clarence Ozgo (1110) all had their big days in the late season surge while junior Jack Brabant (1026) got his grand in the Elizabethtown defeat. Week The Wilkesmen which ended 15-9, had a great year on defense, holding 24 opponents to an average of 68.1 points per game but the real culprit turned out to be luck as the Colonels dropped two double-overtimes to Upsala and Scranton and lost to Bridgeport at the buzzer in the Sacred Heart Classic. Wilkes showed great scoring balance with four players in double figures. Ozgo paced the club with a 16.3 average while Brabant, Buzinski, and a third senior, Steve Ference, were close behind with 13.9, 13.8, and 10.2 averages respectively. Fifth man in the Colonel starting unit was freshman Ken Hughes and after making some early mistakes turned out to be one of the quickest ball handlers to hit the campus in many years. Hughes averaged 6.2 points per game while leading the club in assists with 115. Colonel followers were likewise thrilled with relief stints from junior Frank Britt and sophomore Frank Trainor. Britt was an instant spark whenever inserted while Trainor displayed many of the backcourt abilities which had made him a great high school player in the New York City area. After four years of building it was sad to see the Colonels dreams come to an abrupt halt but as Coach Bearde noted, "that is what sports are really all about. We will correct our mistakes and will be back next year." DON’T FORGET ’!! 28th ANNUAL HOMECOMING WEEKEND October 10, 11, 12, 1975 Na“Y E"sien MELVIN C.

WILKES COLLEGE REPORT Published by The Wilkes College Public Relations Department Thomas J. Moran '49 Director EDITORIAL STAFF George G. Pav/lush '69. Editor Lynn Jacobs .Alumni Notes WILKES COLLEGE REPORT... Spring, 1975 NOTICE The Wilkes College REPORT is published by Wilkes College quarterly. Entered as second class mail matter and second class postage paid at WilkesBarre, Pennsylvania 18703. MARCHANT REVIVES SWIMMERS Plenty of spirit prevailed as the Wilkes College swimming team surprised many on­ lookers in registering a 3-5 dual record. Prior to the start of the season, the pros­ pectus looked bleak for the Colonel aqua­ nauts with only four lettermen returning from last year's 2-8 squad. The situation was soon corrected with the appointment of Rich Marchant to the coach­ ing staff. Marchant, a Blue and Gold swim­ ming great of the early 1970's, left college in 1972 to join the Marine Corp. With one season of eligibility remaining, the 24-year old senior started a massive re­ cruiting drive and at season's end had a record 25 swimmers listed on the roster, Most of these are freshmen and sophomores which should give the Colonels a solid nu­ cleus to work with next year. The Wilkes swimmers established seven new team records and had two finalists in the post-season Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Placing for the Colonels were freshmen Cindy Glawe, a third in the women's onemeter diving; and sophomore Joe Abate, an 11th in the men's diving competition. WOMEN REGISTER FAST FINISH The Wilkes College women's bas­ ketball team captured three of their final four games to finish the 1975 campaign with a 6-9 record. The Colonels of Sandra Bloomberg could be headed for their finest sea­ son ever with only senior Anne Tracy scheduled to graduate. Pacing the Blue and Gold on offense was sophomore Dotty Martin with a 12.9 average per game. Freshman Karen Olney was the top rebounder with 11.3 rebounds per tilt.

Summer, 1975 Michelini Resigns; Capin Named Acting President The resignation of Dr. Francis J. Michelini as president of Wilkes Col­ lege and the appointment of Robert S. Capin, dean of academic affairs, to the position of acting president of the college occurred in succession during the months of May and June. Capin's appointment will become effective on September 1 when Dr. Michelini, who has served as president of the college since 1970, will assume his new duties as president of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities (CICU) in Harris­ burg. DR. FRANCIS J. MICHELINI Dr. Michelini, a 20-year educator at the college, will be responsible for carrying out the missions of CICU which are to focus attention on the importance of the independent sector of higher education in Pennsylvania and throughout the nation. The naming of Capin to the office of acting president was made at the June 6 meeting of the Executive Com­ mittee of the Wilkes Board of Trus­ tees. In announcing that Capin, a 1950 graduate of Wilkes, had been elected unanimously by the Executive Com­ mittee, Attorney Joseph J. Savitz, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said that the appointment called for Capin to continue as chief executive officer of Wilkes College from September 1 to the date upon which a new president takes office. Acting along standard procedural ROBERT S. CAPIN, C.P.A. lines, the trustees of the college will name a Search Committee in the near future for the purpose of attracting and screening qualified candidates to become the third president of Wilkes College. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, who died in 1973 after serving as chancel­ lor from 1970 to 1972, held the office of president for 34 years before turn­ ing over the duties to Dr. Michelini in July 1970. appeal. "Thanks to some great leadership on top as well as co­ operation from our alumni, we were able to realize our $80,000 goal." Those were the joyful sentiments of Alumni Director Art Hoover '55 as he reported that the 1975 Alumni Ap­ peal had oversubscribed its goal with an $82,114 closing tally. What made the drive more complete was the fact that the $250,000 annual campaign of which the alumni effort is a part, had also exceeded its quest with a final figure well over $300,000. Hoover also noted that the alumni total quoted in­ cludes only monies and pledges received as of May 31. "That was the end of the fiscal year but I'm sure further contributions will come in after this date." Applauding the efforts of national chairperson Judy Simonson Arenstein '68 and Rick Simonson '69, who co­ ordinated the local effort, Hoover also cited the alumni executive committee which spent countless hours solicit­ ing Farley Club members through phone, letters, and per­ sonal follow-up. Another important ingredient for the success of the alumni appeal was the local committee in the Greater Wilkes-Barre Area. Because of the heavy concentration of alumni in Region I which includes the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Hazleton area, personal solicitation capped by a telephone campaign provided the push that was needed to surpass the goal. Aiding in the local effort were many undergraduate students who unselfishly volunteered their services. �Rees to Chair 28th Annual Homecoming DR. RICHARD REES Nine Facialty Members Retire Nine prominent Wilkes College faculty members announced their retirements effec­ tive at the end of the 1974-75 school year. Closing out their full-time teaching careers at Wilkes were Sheldon Curtis, Elwood Disque, Bronis Kaslas, Grace Kimball, Charlotte Lord, Jaroslav Moravec, Phillip Richards, Cromwell Thomas, and Stanko Vujica. Curtis, a member of the Accounting De­ partment, has been associated with the col­ lege since 1952. The teaching career of Disque goes back to 1935 when he was appointed to the Foreign Language faculty of the then Bucknell Junior College. Preparations for the 28th Annual Alumni Homecoming Weekend, scheduled for Oct. 10-12, are well underway as the executive committee has tapped Rick Rees '62 to serve as chairman of the 1975 event. A popular educator on campus, Rick is presently a member of the Wilkes Education Department. He is very active in alumni af­ fairs and was a former regional alumni vice president in New Jersey before moving to Wyoming Valley in 1972. Rees is currently serving as treasurer of the alumni home club. Following graduation from Wilkes, the continued former Colonel football co-captain _ his education at Rutgers University where he was awarded a Doctor of Education degree in 1971. Rick and his wife, Linda, and their two children, Diane and David, reside in Mountaintop. While members and chairmen of the var­ ious committees will be announced in the near future, Rees indicated that this year s format would probably follow that of the last few homecoming weekends. "We want to retain many of the items SAVITZ SELECTED BOARD CHAIRMAN Two alumni were among four new mem­ bers named recently to the Wilkes College Board of Trustees.

Internationally known syndicated colum­ nist Bob Considine was explicit about the future of America as he addressed members of the 28th Annual Wilkes College Com­ mencement class, May 25, at the Kingston Armory. The graduation exercises originally had been listed for the outdoors at nearby Rals­ ton Field but were switched to the Armory early in the afternoon on account of threat­ ening weather conditions. The commencement exercises proved an emotional farewell for Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini as he thanked the fac­ ulty and students for the many unique ex­ periences he enjoyed both as an instructor and administrator during his 20-year rela­ tionship at the college. The Baccalaureate message, which pre­ ceded the commencement address, was pre­ sented by the Rev. Dr. Burke Rivers, retired rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Dr. Rivers noted, "The spirit of an edu­ cated man is tuned to the republic. Like a vaccination," the clergyman said, "Education leaves an indelible mark on each student." Following the baccalaureate portion, Con­ sidine addressed the members of the Wilkes Class of 1975 on the topic "It's All News To Me." Considine noted that to many graduates jobland is as lost as Atlantis. However, he maintained that the nine million unemployed are more trained today than the 12 million jobless during the depression. Hope does exist. Quoting from A Newspaperman's Prayer, Considine stated that the alphabet can build and destroy, and that today's educators should seek to build up our society rather than destroy it. Challenging the bachelor degree recipients, the internationally known newspaperman expressed the need for American youth to champion "just causes." "We must realize that we still have our baby fat and have not come to the end of the road. We haven't even scratched the surface yet." Considine pointed out that the Wilkes Col­ lege Class of 1975 should not immediately concern itself with job hunting but to live life, trying to achieve what each graduate wants. He maintained, "Don't be afraid of any­ thing because if you're afraid of anything, you're dead. You own this college and it owns you too. Knowing that you came out of the same womb, remember and help each other." Concluding, the syndicated columnist re­ quested, "Stay together and you'll never re­ gret it." Honorary degrees were conferred on Con­ sidine and Wharton Shober, president of the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital "In recognition of his leadership and service, the major support that he has provided in One of the most coveted awards presented at Wilkes College graduation ceremonies is the “Alumni Award for Leadership” which is given annually by the Wilkes College Alumni Association to the member of the graduation class considered by a special committee to have made the strongest contribution to student life.

REACON WELL AND ALIVE ®N CAMPUS Copy editing, mastheads, 10-point type, flags, italic headlines, deadlines and paste­ ups still are terms found on the Wilkes campus, especially in the BEACON office, located in Shawnee Hall, 176 West North­ ampton Street. The BEACON, as well as the other camp­ us publications, still plays an active role in student life, informing approximately 2400 students and parents about college activities and keeping Wilkes alumni up to date with the development of their Alma Mater and in many cases, their sons and daughters. In addition, the BEACON offers stimula­ tion of intellectual curiosity and a workshop for those interested in journalism as a career. As a workshop session, the BEACON pro­ vides the 25-member staff with the oppor­ tunity to put into practice the journalism techniques that have been acquired in the extensive courses currently conducted on the campus. The students apply such methods as advanced newswriting, concentrating on the 5 W's (Who, What, When, Where, Why and How) and copy editing and makeup, composing and laying out each issue. In addition to experiencing independent research projects in the community, the stu­ dents participate in a journalism internship program with a member newspaper of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Asso­ ciation; a licensed radio or television news staff; or a professional public relations firm in Luzerne or Lackawanna Counties. Each of these features, expanded by the new journalism courses, aids the BEACON staff to publish a weekly newspaper for stu­ dent use, as well as make good showings in national student newspaper competition. The Wilkes College BEACON placed sec­ ond in the Columbia University Scholastic Press Association competition held during the spring semester in New York. However, just like all news publications, advertising and subscriptions play an im­ portant part in the maintenance of the BEACON. According to Patti Reilly, acting business/ advertising manager for the BEACON, sub­ scriptions by the parents and alumni aid the student publication to publish on time. In addition, by subscribing to the college paper, alumni are informed continuously about Wilkes. “We hope the alumni will con­ tinue to aid us." Although the BEACON staff members are currently on vacation, they are currently in the midst of a three-month subscription campaign. The cost of a one-year subscription, which includes approximately 18 issues, is $4.00. To order return the coupon with your re­ mittance.

MICHELINI PRAISED IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD When Dr. Francis J. Michelini officially left his post as president of Wilkes College on August 31, he did so with the knowledge that his accomplishments over five years as the institution's chief executive officer were permanently recorded in a glowing tribute printed in the Congressional Record. A copy of the Congressional Record of Friday, August 1, was forwarded to Wilkes College and contained an address made on the floor of the House of Representatives by Congressman Daniel J. Flood. Congressman Flood became a close friend of Dr. Michelini's over the five-year period and more particularly during the recovery period immediately following the Agnes flood in 1972. In a tribute to Dr. Michelini, Congressman Flood indicated he was deeply moved by the news that the 49-year-old col­ lege president was leaving. A colleague of the congressman said Flood "had mixed feelings about Dr. Mike's deci­ sion to leave Wilkes College. He felt that the college and Wyoming Valley were losing an individual who had contributed greatly, but at the same time he was pleased by the fact that Dr. Michelini's decision meant an up­ ward shift in his career as an educator in higher learning." Dr. Mike, as he has been affectionately known for more than 20 years as a teacher, dean of academic affairs and as president, notified the board last May that he had, after much consideration, decided to accept a post that would allow him to continue his work in a critical area of higher education. The local educator will assume his new duties on September 1 as the president of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities (CICU) with headquarters in Harrisburg. His mission will be aimed at calling the public's attention to the critical problems and issues which face the private sector of higher education in the state and nation. The Congressional Record of August 1 shows the following tribute to the Wilkes College president by Congressman Flood: "Mr. Speaker, during the course of the approaching recess of the Congress, the ten­ ure of one of the Nation's truly outstanding college presidents will come to an end. Dr. Francis J. Michelini, for the last 5 years the president of Wilkes College in my home city of Wilkes-Barre, will complete his service as head of this great institution of higher learn­ ing in the heart of northeastern Pennsyl­ vania. " 'Dr. Mike,' as he is warmly referred to by his many friends, is turning his vast ener­ gy resources to a new direction, as he as­ sumes the presidency of the Pennsylvania Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities, another challenging position which calls for the abilities of a dynamic leader, such as I know Dr. Michelini to be. "The mantle of power and the insignia of office were entrusted to Dr. Michelini in 1970, when he was named the second pres­ ident of Wilkes, succeeding Dr. Eugene Far- ley, the founding president whose reputation and name linger among the giants of edu­ cators. To fill the shoes of a man like Gene Farley was a gamble where the odds were difficult. But Dr. Michelini rose to the occa­ sion, as he soon exhibited the same charac­ teristics of the man he followed. Dr. Farley told me before his death that Mike Michelini was his personal choice for the president's job, because his years of experience and sen­ sitivities to the needs of the human spirit and man's pursuit of education were well embodied in his successor. How right he was, as the years to follow would illustrate. "Scarcely had enough time lapsed for the burdens of office to confront the new Wilkes president, when in June 1972, the worst na­ tural disaster in the history of this Republic, tropical storm Agnes, thrust down upon 17 States in the Nation, hitting hardest in the Wyoming Valley and the district which I am privileged to represent in this Congress. Property damage alone in my region went well over the $1 billion mark, and the beau­ tiful, sprawling Wilkes College along the banks of the Susquehanna lay in the eye of devastation. "On a hot and trying night following the disaster, Mike Michelini came into my emer­ gency command post headquarters at the U. S. naval training station near the Airport at Avoca. It was then, in the moments of conversation, that the real meaning of tra­ gedy set in. 'I don't know where to start this discussion, Dan, because it is all so hard to believe.' With hipboots laden with mud and clothes which became the flood victims' uni­ form, brown and dusty, Mike Michelini laid out for me the impossible task which lie ahead. Yes, it was hard to believe, and the realities seemed like a bad dream. But we began, and because of Dr. Mike Michelini, adversity once again became progress. "All 50 Wilkes buildings were under water to the second story level, the college pres­ ident told me. The damage estimate? Neither of us could guess, except that it was well into the millions. "In the next 2 months there ensued a hu­ man undertaking such as I had never exper­ ienced. Like a man inspired by the diety, Dr. Michelini worked, led, organized and en­ couraged, day and night, week after week. The desolated book collection in a brand new library was hauled out. Walls were scrubbed. Mud was shoveled. Furniture thrown away. The rebuilding was underway. "I cannot answer how it was all accom­ plished. But by some miracle the fall session began in September, only 1 week later than scheduled. "As part of the historic Agnes recovery legislation which I sponsored, there were several forms of relief to colleges and uni­ versities. Dr. Mike Michelini was the spear­ heading force behind the regional effort to assist in my legislation, and it should be re­ corded in the annals of this Congress that his leadership and dedication inspired those with whom he worked, his colleagues, and □od (left) reacted Congressman Dai Daniel Flo< incis J.

"The departure of Mike Michelini from Wyoming Valley will leave its mark else­ where than at Wilkes College. His commun­ ity will feel the loss as well. He found time to serve as president of the Family Service Association of Wyoming Valley, and on the boards of directors of the Nesbitt Hospital, the United Way, the Wilkes-Barre Philhar­ monic Society, the Northeastern Pennsyl­ vania Education Television Association, and the Osterhout Free Library. All of this, while pursuing significant assignments in numer­ ous professional and educational associa­ tions and societies. "As this unusual and dynamic leader of men departs of Northeastern Pennsylvania, I salute him for what he has done for higher education, and for the trustees, faculty, stu­ dents, alumni, thousands of friends and as­ sociates, I say, many thanks, and 'Ad Multos Annos.'

The College grounds have taken on a new look with the school's campus improvement and the razing of some nine buildings. The history of the campus buildings and the people who owned them are sometimes lost in the files of an old cabinet or on the shelves of a library. son Darte Center for the Performing Arts was completed. Pickering Hall, 181 South Franklin Street, also has been razed. The former property of the late Dr. S. P. Mengel, Pickering Hall was purchased by the college in 1949 from Jessie and Harley Gritman. Renovated during the same year, the building housed classrooms and offices for the Commerce and Finance and Art Departments. The building was named after the famous soldier, Timothy Pickering, who was an early supporter of the Revolutionary movement in Massachusetts. He led a contingent from Massachusetts to join Washington's army in the winter campaign of 1776-77 in New York and New Jersey. Adjutant General of the U. S. Army, Pick­ ering later accepted the responsibility of Quarter Master General. In addition, Picker­ ing's letters constituted an invaluable com­ mentary on the course of the Revolution. In order to preserve the history of the mili­ tary man on campus, the Wilkes College New Men's Dormitory’ has been charged with the name of Pickering Hall. >r-old building, MINER HALL — A 105-yeai Miner Hall was recently razed ■on the Wilkes College campus. The stately mansion, at one time, was used as a women’:s dormitory and mathematics department. The eight buildings that have been razed include the first Wilkes College playhouse, Chase Theater. Built in 1917 by Frederick Chase, then president and general manager of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, the structure originally was constructed as a garage for the Chase family, behind Chase Hall. Located at the rear of 184 South River Street, Chase Theater was one of the first Wilkes College buildings, donated in 1937 by Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark to Wilkes College, when it was known as Bucknell Uni­ versity Junior College, as a memorial to Frederick Chase and his wife, Admiral Stark's sister. Numerous one-act plays were presented by the college Thespians, the Cue 'n Curtain Society, until 1965 when the Dorothy Dick- it 4 .,/■ Ibq n H 1 Ci 'J SLOCUM HAL ^LL — Named after Frances Slocum, the building at 115 South Franklin Street, also has been razed.

After she was adoj >pted by foster Indian parents, she travelled —I with them and eventually married a Delaware Indian brave, When her or. :-: •riginal family found her in 1835, she was 62 6L and declined the invitation to return to them.

' f ther' Dr. Miner was recognized as a c? distinguished physician, serving as State Secretar-I ary of Health during Governor Pinchot's admin istration. He also served as Luzerne CountJ Director of Health. Since Dr. Miner's death the home was occupied by Grace Lea Shoe­ maker Miner before donation to Wilkes College. At first, Miner Hall was utilized as a women's dormitory. Later, the building was occupied by the mathematics department for offices and classrooms. Doane Hall, 237-239 South Franklin Street also is gone. At one time a women's dorm­ itory and school infirmary, Doane Hall was acquired by Wilkes in 1966 from Joseph and Marguerite Eagen. The eighth home to be removed from campus is Slocum Hall, 115 South Franklin Street. One of the oldest buildings used as a women's dormitory, Frances Slocum Hall takes its name from one of the earliest resi­ dents of Wyoming Valley, adding to the his­ torical lore that surrounds the institution. Keep Dim ToueSi! I! PICKERING HALL ----- The former prop­ erty of Dr. S. P. Mengel, Pickering Hall was named after the famous Revolutionary sol­ dier, Timothy Pickering, from Massachu­ setts. The two-story building, once located at 181 South Franklin Street, housed the com­ merce and finance and art departments.

College Initiates Writer-In-Residence Wilkes College will have its first writer-in-residence on campus this fall, as Hugh Seidman, distinguished author and recipient of last year's Walt Whitman Award, given by the Academy of Amer­ ican Poets, occupies the Allan Hamilton Dickson Chair of English Literature. This position of distinction was created by Dorothy Dickson Darte in memory of her father, Allan Hamilton Dickson, to en­ courage enlightened teaching, extended scholarships, and creative writing in the field of literature. According to Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the English De­ partment, Seidman will teach two courses — Creative Writing and a Seminar in Contemporary Poetry — and will be available for consultation three days a week. A reading of his works also will be scheduled during the Fall for the general public. Before seriously turning his interests to writing, Seidman pre­ pared for an entirely different style of life as he completed ad­ vanced studies in mathematics and physics and even worked in the world of computer programming. He began to gain a strong reputation as an author and a poet when his first major work, "Collecting Evidence," was selected as the winning volume in the 1969 Yale Series of Younger Poets. In 1974, Seidman gained new success when Doubleday and Company published his book, "Blood Lord." Leading up to this accomplishment, Seidman was co-editor of poetry anthologies, "Equal Times" and "Westbeth Poets." He has received numerous grants, has served as a consultant and judge in the field of poetry, and has steadily built a reputation that is still growing in today's literary world.

Members of the unitt shown in preline where no less than seven skilled let e, junior Frank season practice sessions, from left to right., kneeling: Senior Joe Dettmore, Sickler, senior >r Len Dalmas. sophomore Ken S Wengen, senior Bill Metzger. Standing: Junior Bob Para, and sophomore Greg Wild. If anyone knows how to deal with pressure it's Wilkes College football grid chief Rollie Schmidt, who begins his 14th year at the Colonel helm with a 69-34-1 record. Wilkes opens the 1975 season as the team to beat in the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division after winning their sixth circuit title last annum. With only five starters missing from the lineup this fall the pot of gold looks bright again for Schmidt this time around? Wrong! According to Schmidt, "games are won on the field and not on paper." "Attitude is going to be our biggest prob­ lem early in the year. Sure we have the horses to repeat, but its going to take a lot of effort to duplicate last year's 7-2 record." The Colonels were 6-0 in the Northern Division competition, but five of the six games went right down to the wire. While the Blue and Gold looked solid in a 30-9 trouncing of runnerup Juniata the Wilkesmen had to battle for their lives against Ly­ coming, 20-14; Delaware Valley, 24-14; Sus­ quehanna, 10-8; Albright, 14-10; and last place Upsala, 15-8. "It's going to take a real good team to pull off another unblemished record," Schmidt forecasted. "I think the times are long gone when one team will ever dominate the scene again." In warning that each team in the rapidly improved Northern Division can beat an­ other, the Wilkes grid chief confides that the conference may be one of the toughest in NCAA III Division circles. Offense will probably be the Colonels strongest department with 14 veteran per­ sonnel back. Seniors Chuck Suppon and Greg Snyder have shared the quarterback duties the past two years with neither being able to nail down the job. It's a toss up again this time around. Senior fullback Fred Lohman is the second leading rusher in Wilkes history while tail­ backs Rodney Smith, a senior, and junior Mickey Calabrese are both speed burners. Since end George Abraham has decided not to return to school, the pass receiving corp will have to rebuild with senior John Matusek and sophomore Paul Wengen pro­ viding the nucleus. Frank Wengen was an AI1-MAC choice at guard as a sophomore while Joe Dettmore and Bob Para are secure at tackle. Coach Schmidt will also get a big boost from Bill Metzger, All-MAC in 1973, who returned to school after one year's absence. Schmidt's big job in pre-season practice sessions was to find another defensive tackle to compliment senior Tom Bradshaw. AllMAC Lou Maczuga and Don Kulick, both seniors, are probably the best pair of ends in the conference. The defense will be anchored by All-MAC linebacker senior Steve Leskiw, the Colonels best bet for post-season honors. Despite the presence of Leskiw, the linebacker corps may be the Wilkesmen's lone weakness although Schmidt was tinkering with the idea of con­ verting two-time MAC defensive back Fred Marianacci to corner linebacker. With or without Marianacci the defensive secondary’ will be solid as a rock with seniors Tony Schwab and Dave Trethaway. If Coach Schmidt can pull together the loose ends then the Wilkesmen will be heard from in 1975. The Colonels complete slate: Sept. 20, Clarion St., home; Sept. 27, Lycoming, away; Oct. 4, Bloomsburg St, awray; Oct. 11, Up­ sala, home; Oct. 18, Ithaca, away; Oct. 25, Albright, away; Nov. 1, Susquehanna, home; Nov. 8, Juniata, away; and Nov. 15, Dela­ ware Valley, home. BONITA BROTHERS OPEN PRACTICE Mr. and Mrs. Raphael E. Bonita of Exeter are wearing an extra smile these days with the return of their sons to Wyoming Valley. Dr. Raphael J. '68 and Dr. Louis B, Bonita '70z both honor graduates of the college/ re­ cently announced the opening of their office for the practice of medicine in Plains. Dr. Ray Bonita, who graduated magna cum laude from Wilkes in 1968, received a Doctor of Medicine Degree from the Univer­ sity of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in 1972. Dr. Louis J. Bonita was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree cum laude in Physics from Wilkes in 1970 and a Doctor of Medicine Degree from the Tulane University School of Medicine in 1974. Wilkes Sports Nora Donato, the former NORA ROSCO ’66, is the head teacher at the YMCA Nursery School. Joining Rollie Schmidt and the football Colonels as an assistant coach this year is Jim Fennell, who achieved phenomenal suc­ cess as coach of Kingston and Wyoming Val­ ley West High School grid fortunes. Fennell, who is the linebacker coach, produced a 14747-7 record during his 20 years at the two schools. ANN ORZECHOWSKI 73 received her masters of arts degree in psychology from the New School for Social Research in New York City. She will assume the position as an instructor in general psychology and psychology of childhood at Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield, Missouri. Final NCAA III Baseball statistics re­ leased in late August revealed that Wilkes as a team plus Colonel stalwarts Steve Leskiw and Jim Stehle ranked among the best in the country. Wilkes hit .327 to place eighth in the nation while Leskiw batted .410 (23rd), and produced 1.33 runs batted in per game (third), and 0.28 triples per game (third). Stehle, who was continually plagued by wild­ ness, was the top strikeout artist in the land with 15.5 whiffs per nine inning game. With interest running high on the Wilkes College wrestling team's move into the NCAA University ranks for the upcoming 1975-76 campaign, here is an advance peek at the grapplers 1975-76 schedule: Dec. 3, Lehigh, away (PBS Television Network); Dec. 7, Binghamton Invitational (Gettysburg, Bucknell, Wilkes, Binghamton), away; Dec. 11, Oregon St., home; Dec. 13, Navy, away; Dec. 29-30 Wilkes Open; Jan. 10, Yale, home; Jan. 14, Montclair St., home; Jan. 17, Syra­ cuse, home; Jan. 21, Delaware Valley, away; Jan. 24, Western Maryland and Oswego St., home; Jan. 28, Elizabethtown, away; Jan. 31, Lycoming, home; Feb. 4, Binghamton St., away; Feb. 7, Hofstra, away; Feb. 11, East Stroudsburg St., away; Feb. 14, Army, home; Feb. 21, Franklin & Marshall, home; Feb. 2728, E.I.W.A. Tournament at F&M; Mar. Il­ ls, NCAA I Tournament, Arizona. Despite the loss of three super veterans in­ cluding 1000-point career men Greg Buzinski (1174) and Clarence Ozgo (1100), basket­ ball mentor Rodger Bearde won't be crying the blues with an outstanding group of fresh­ men on hand. Forming the keystone of this winter's team will be senior Jack Brabant and sophomore Ken Hughes. Brabant broke the 1000-point barrier last year and starts the year with 1026. The 6-5 forward will be chasing Ozgo, Buzinski, George Gacha (1235), Bill Umbach (1266), Herb Kemp (1286), George Morgan (1349), and Len Batroney (1629) on the all-time Wilkes scor­ ing list.

Winter, 1975-76 Stark Learning Center Convocation 7-MILLION DOLLAR EDIFICE BECOMES A REALITY The highlight of one of the most ac­ tive weekends in the history of Wilkes College was the dedication of the $7million Stark Leaming.Center and the William B. Schaeffer Memorial Hall on Saturday, October 12. Included in the program was the conferring of an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree on John D. MacArthur, native of this region who has amassed a fortune in insurance and Florida land development that is re­ puted to be in excess of $900-million. Dr. J. Douglas Brown, provost and dean of the faculty emeritus at Prince­ ton University and one of the archi­ tects of the nation's Social Security program, was the keynote speaker. An academic procession that had been scheduled was cancelled early in the morning when a heavy rain caused officials to move the location of the dedication from the courtyard of the learning center to the Center for the Performing Arts. Dr. Brown delivered a strong appeal for greater and renewed emphasis on liberal education. He tied his remarks to the Bicentennial theme as he com­ pared the liberal education of 31 of 55 who took part in the Constitutional Convention of 1776 to the same fore­ sight and quality thinking that he de­ scribed as being needed to build. Acting President of Wilkes College Robert S. Capin presided over the al­ most two-hour ceremony, introduced the distinguished guests who were on the program for expressions of appre­ ciation, and then closed the program by accepting the new learning com­ plex as the chief executive officer of the college. The acceptance became formally of­ ficial when Mr. Capin said: "As the acting president of Wilkes College, I humbly and gratefully accept at this time the addition of the Stark Learn­ ing Center and the William B. Schaef­ fer Memorial Hall as vital parts of our educational resources. May it serve mankind through the accomplish­ ments of the young people who use its facilities." Congressman Daniel J. Flood, a long-time friend of the college, headed those who made remarks. He traced the development of the learning center from the time a need for it was created by a major fire in 1968. And he paid tribute to the late Dr. Eugene S. Far­ ley, first president of Wilkes College, and his successor, Dr. Francis J. Michelini, "for pursuing a determined course that led to the realization of a dream." The Honorable Max Rosenn, judge in the U. S. Court of Appeals and a member of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees, presided over the special dedication for the William B. Schaef­ fer Memorial Hall. Judge Rosenn, a long-time friend of the late Mr. Schaeffer, paid tribute to the man after whom the lecture hall was named. He cited his interest in education, particularly his friendship and concern for Wilkes College. (continued on page two) �"When Wilkes College was organ­ ized/' Judge Rosenn said, "he (Mr. Schaeffer) at once saw its importance in elevating the cultural and economic life of the community and brightening the horizons of its young people ... g. i He personally but unobtrusively con- 5 tributed substantial sums to its sup­ port during the early days. Quietly —> _cc —n.._r.. he persuaded his and effectively, friends to do likewise." Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Jr., son of the late first president of Wilkes College, was one of the featured speakers. Dr. Farley paid tribute to those who fol­ lowed through on his late father's STARK LEARNING CENTER dream of having a major learning cen­ „h„t can be attained by those who man of the Biology Department at ter complex on the Wilkes campus and what addressed himself to the needs of sci­ have not only the imagination, but the Wilkes; Edward Zaborney, president will to work to achieve goals they have of the Wilkes College Student Gov­ ence in an ever-changing world.

Further information and reservations may be obtained by con­ tacting Hoover at the Wilkes Alumni Office Hoover also announced that the travel agency is preparing a full color brochure with a complete list of offerings for the sum­ mer. The brochure, which will be mailed to all alumni in the spring, list a Hawaiian Holiday for June; London Adventure in July; and a Rome-Paris-Florence Holiday for August. COLLEGE DAYS REMEMBERED "I'm just sensitive about the things hap­ pening in Wyoming Valley. I love the area and appreciate all the beauty which sur­ rounds it." Those weren't the words of a crusading politician or social reformer but the thoughts of an up and coming nationally recognized photographer who happens to make his home in Wilkes-Barre. As in the past, Wilkes students are brightening college life and helping the community by initiating programs, continuing many of the activities of previous years, and reviving events of earlier times. The Circle K Club, which has been honored for its many ac­ complishments, once again launched a drive to fight Multiple Scle­ rosis (M.S.) To raise money, the group held a "Lovely Legs" Con­ test, where 11 pairs of legs either of a Wilkes student, faculty member, or an administrator competed for the title of Wilkes "Loveliest Legs." Besides sponsoring a Dance Marathon for the benefit of M.S., the club also conducted a talent show of Wilkes students. Creative Wilkes students publish the Manuscript, a literary magazine comprised of students' work which features a variety of prose, poetry, and art. Other students are busily engaged with WCLH-FM, the Wilkes radio station. The station, which offers a variety in radio program­ ming, reaches children as well as adults, classical-minded folks as well as rock-oriented individuals, and nature-lovers and newsminded people. The First Annual Engineering Club Ping Pong Tournament be­ gan this year. Clubs are invited to send a team of four members to compete in a round of "Power Matched Singles." A trophy will be presented to the team showing the greatest skill. The Commuter Council, concerned with the parking problem at the college, began an on-campus parking program as the lot near the Temple Israel on South River Street was cleared for free stu­ dent parking. Theta Delta Rho, a service organization composed of energetic women, will sponsor its "Golden Agers" Christmas Party. They will host members from three area rest homes to an afternoon of good cheer to help kick-off the holiday season. Many other students also are community-minded and showed their concern for the public by donating blood for the Annual Blood Donor Day at the college sponsored by the American Red Cross and the Human Services Committee. The Wilkes Debate Union's Individual Events Speaking Unit ’ Mark Cohen is currently displaying his photographs of and about the people of Wyoming Valley in a special one-man show at the Light Gallery in New York City. The release from the Light Gallery has this to say about his work. "Cohen's photo­ graphs from the past two years display a high regard for his native Wilkes-Barre as a human laboratory for ideas; his pictures have become highly attentuated visions of a malleable yet sharply defined world of hu­ man and animated objects in flux." The critique also states that "Cohen pre­ sents his foreground figures with a sense of volume, that causes their accompanying landscapes to revolve around them. The somewhat pathological treatment of human bodies is also heroic and suggestive of sym­ bolic and fanciful conditions." Cohen, a 1966 graduate of Wilkes Col­ lege, was introduced to the field of photog­ raphy in his early teens. "Everything seemed to fall right in place," he remembered, "After finishing college I decided to open a studio and make a living of it." Although much of his current work and efforts have been directed in the commercial field, Mark still takes time to capture on film what he calls "the personal type of obser­ vation." "I'm extremely interested in the places which are disappearing," he explained, "I have taken thousands of photograhps in the Heights area, catching the mood of the peo­ ple, their homes, and even their back porches." His first exhibit in a nationally known art show came in 1969 when he was invited to exhibit at the George Eastman House, the BE A BECKtMTEK ported me sometimes financially, frequently with morale boosting and always academ­ ically." Robert S. Capin, acting president of Wilkes College is shown on the left, re­ ceiving an alumni contribution from Art Hoover, director of alumni relations. Hoover presented the check on behalf of Dr. Cath­ erine De Angelis, a 1964 Wilkes alumnus, and represents her first royalty on a text­ book which she recently had published. Dr. De Angelis's letter to Hoover read in part, "Ten years ago, I received my diploma from Wilkes College. It marked the culmin­ ation of four of the finest years of my life. They were four years essentially given to me by members of Wilkes College who sup- She furthered, "As a result of the founda­ tion I received at Wilkes College, I was able to go on to medical school and advanced training in pediatrics and public health. As a consequence, I recently had a textbook published, and yesterday I received the first royalty check. Enclosed you will find a check for $500 which results from the textbook. I would like the college to accept it as a very small token of my gratitude." International Museum of Photography, in Rochester, N.Y. Some 30 young photographers were in­ vited by the museum curator to submit five pictures. "Luckily I was one of the people chosen," Cohen recalled, "and it was a big start for me." Since then Cohen's works have graduated into one-man shows which have been housed in the William Penn Memorial Museum, Harrisburg; Museum of Modern Art, New York City; George Eastman House, Roch­ ester, N.Y.; Art Institute of Chicago; and an earlier exhibit at the Light Gallery. Much of the Wilkes-Barre resident's time is also spent in the teaching of two courses at Wilkes College. "The student interest in photography is enormous," he explained, "Everybody seems to be getting into it." While equipment is an essential ingredient in photography so is a persons perception of the subject which he is trying to capture on film. Cohen also added, "Photography differs from other forms of fine art because it doesn't require the student to do a lot of mechanical things. Being less technical than painting or sculpture, the student can see the results of his work come to fore more quickly." While combining business with pleasure in the home, studio, and classroom, Mark Cohen seems to have found some treasures in Wyoming Valley and is more than proud to share his find with the rest of the world.

Capin, who served for eight months as acting president of Wilkes College, was selected as the third president of the college, follow­ ing the annual Spring meeting of the Board of Trustees on Friday, May 7. Announcement of the appointment of Capin, a 1950 graduate of the col­ lege, was made by Attorney Joseph J. Savitz, chairman of the Board of Trustees. The announcement of the selection of Capin by Atty. Savitz said in part: "Based on our investigation and study these past 10 months, the Board has concluded that the appointment of Mr. Capin as the third president of Wilkes College is in the best tradition of the institution whose only prior chief officers were Dr. Eugene S. Far­ ley and Dr. Francis J. Michelini. "We are mindful of Mr. Capin's ex­ perience in the business world as a certified public accountant, as a pro­ the Wilkes fessor, as L._ ____ College Dean of Academic Affairs, and most recently as acting president. He has demon­ strated extensive talents and under­ standing of the goals and objectives of the college." Capin, in becoming the president in the fifth decade of the college exist­ ence, was appointed acting president last September after Dr. Francis J. Michelini, who had served for five years, resigned to become president of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities in Harrisburg. The 1950 graduate becomes the first alumnus to hold the top position. He came back to campus in 1956 as a part-time instructor, while conduct­ ing his private accounting practice. In 1959, Capin was certified by the Com­ monwealth of Pennsylvania as a pub­ lic accountant and that same year joined the Department of Commerce and Finance as a full time faculty member at Wilkes College. The new Wilkes president taught various accounting courses and, at the same time, continued his own educa­ tion, receiving a master's degree in business administration (MBA) from Lehigh University in 1969. It was in 1965 that Capin began combining his academic duties with administrative assignments at Wilkes College when he was named diretcor of the Evening and Summer College. Increased classroom activity and the guidance of the Wilkes College Ac­ counting Internship Program which was founded by the late Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, kept him away from major administrative chores until 1974, when he was appointed by Dr. Mi-u-i---: as -- dean J------of c. academic affairs. chelini In September 1975, he was asked to serve as acting president, a position he described as calling for the "recog­ nition and response to the need for improving communications at all levels of college administration with particular emphasis to opening new avenues of communication between the Office of President and students, faculty, administration, and the Board of Trustees." During his interim period as acting president he has endeavored to carry out this self-imposed mandate, which resulted in greater involvement by students, faculty, and staff. Capin, a Kingston resident, is mar­ ried to the former Libby Smulovitz. The couple has three children — Ellen Lubin, Deborah Buckler, and David. ALUMNI APPEAL NEARING GOAL Although the 1976 Alumni Appeal closed on May 31, Art Hoover was confident that a telephone campaign in mid-June plus late donations would put the $80,000 Alumni Appeal over the top. "As of June 1 we achieved 82% of the total," explained Hoover who also noted that "this figure is almost de­ void of any large contributions as was the case last year." Hoover was also predicting that the total amount of individual contribu­ tors would also eclipse the amount of donors in 1975. "This is a healthy sign," Hoover said, "and for many of these alumni it was their first contri­ bution ever." Already oversubscribed is the over­ all $325,000 General Campaign total which was raised through a commun­ ity drive plus other giving from the college family, trustees, corporations, and foundations. Hoover applauded the hard work of national chairperson Judy Simonson Arenstein '68 and Jim Ferris '56, who headed the local phase, for their lead­ ership in this years' Alumni Appeal. �NOTED CIVIC LEADER CLAIMED BY DEATH He was a trustee of Moravian Col­ lege, Wilkes College, and of the Mor­ avian congregation of Bethlehem. At a memorial service, Rev. Dr. Melvin C. Weidner told about 800 persons at Central Moravian Church, that during his life the banker never lost touch with a strong Christian up­ bringing or lack in compassion for others. Bethlehem Mayor Gordon Mowrer summed up the feelings of most Beth­ lehem residents when he said, "As far as I'm concerned, we lost the No. 1 citizen in Bethlehem." REESE JONES ’56 Reese D. Jones, a "restless" man in pursuit of Bethlehem (Pa.) renewal, president of the First Valley Bank, member of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees, and a member of the class of 1956, died March 22 at the age of 46 in Key Largo, Fla. after being stricken ill while vacationing. Born in Kingston, Mr. Jones came to Bethlehem in 1967 as administra­ tive assistant to the president of First Valley Bank. Later that year, he be­ came president of the bank and First Valley Corporation. Prior to coming to Bethlehem, he was senior vice pres­ ident of Studley, Shuppery &. Co., Philadelphia investment counselors, for 10 years. Active in the Bethlehem Center City renewal from the beginning, he emerged as the prime advocate for central business district revitalization besides giving service to area colleges, charities, and business interests. Elected to the Bethlehem Area Chamber of Commerce in 1968, Mr. Jones served two terms as chairman starting in 1972. He rose to the head of the Bethlehem Area United Fund, one year earlier led Historic Bethle­ hem, Inc., in its fund-raising effort and in 1972 directed the Moravian College campaign. Former Bethlehem Mayor Gordon Payrow, now a First Valley Bank vice president, called him "the most dy­ namic aggressive leader I've ever had the privilege of knowing. He was a man of great vision, and he was ag­ gressive, so it was normal he came under fire. But he never lost faith. Unfortunately, he didn't live long enough to see his vision completed, but it will be completed." An excerpt from an editorial in the Bethlehem Globe-Times stated, "While the brick and mortar accom­ plishments point directions for Beth­ lehem's future, so, we hope will the Reese Jones philosophy." "We must remember that a city is nothing more than a lot of people in a small place," he once said. "If we are the right kind of people, we will have the right kind of city and will leave a very precious heritage for those who are privileged to breathe our air, walk in our streets, and work in our shops after we are gone. Let us work together." Mr. Jones graduated from Wilkes College with a bachelor of science de­ gree in 1956. Following studies at the University of Pennsylvania,, he1 was awarded a m;taster's degree in theoretical economics in 1957. He served five• years in the Air Force during the Korean conflict. Surviving are his widow, the former Anne Swartwood, and two children, Abigail and Scott.

Wilkes College Alumni Association Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Kaslas Publishes 3rd Book Dr. Bronis J. Kaslas, former chair­ ~ man of the History Department at Wilkes College and the author of two books and numerous historical arti­ cles, recently saw the publication of his third book. His most recent work, "The Baltic Nations — The Quest for Regional Integration and Political Liberty," is the first detailed study of the Baltic states regional integration, and is a valuable source of information on the East European region. The book consists of three parts, in­ cluding a survey of the history and political structure of the Baltic na­ tions, a detailed account of the search for security through regional integra­ tion, and an analysis of the impact of World War II on the life and interna­ tional status of the region. A naturalized American citizen who was born in Lithuania, Dr. Kaslas was awarded the doctorate in international law from the University of Strasbourg in France. He then practiced law, taught at the University of Kaunas, and traveled as a press correspondent during and after the second world war. He began teaching at Wilkes in 1949, achieving full professorship and becoming chairman of the History De­ partment before retiring from fulltime teaching in 1975. He continues to instruct on a part-time basis and still maintains an office on campus.

The solicitor general referred to the title of his address, "Morality and Authority," as a topic about which much has been written and said. He cautioned the audience that he had to wish to bring to them a message of gloom and despair, but he pointed out that the American public appears to- government." Bork referred to a "twilight author­ ity" which now prevails in govern­ ment and charged that it is not some­ thing that was created as a result of Vietnam or Watergate. "The decline of authority had more to do with Watergate and Vietnam than these two items had to do with causing it," he said. Bork viewed what he called a break­ down in authority as a big picture that Solicitor General of the United States Robert H. Bork received a warm wel­ come as he came into Wyoming Valley on Sunday, May 30, for the purpose of delivering the address at the 29th Wilkes College Commencement. He was greeted by local educators and community leaders at a reception­ luncheon given by Wilkes College President and Mrs. Robert S. Capin in the Center for the Performing Arts.

Circuit Court Judge Max Rosenn, member of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. goes back to the 1960's, where there was particular evidence of this on the American college campuses. Charging that the democratic pro­ cesses have become increasingly irrel­ evant and officials increasingly in­ competent, Bork said that the people of today's society are responsible for a larger share of the blame than the people are willing to share. "Society creates a problem by striv­ ing for more morality with govern­ ment," he said, "Society must be on guard against assigning tasks to gov­ ernment that are impossible to do . . . and then criticize government for its failure." He urged that the people not insist that the government impose morality upon the people and the nation's pro­ cesses. "A public that knows its frus­ trations but cannot solve its problems is in a curious position. That kind of society anxious, bored, insecure may be more easily swept by mass move­ ments. And a society so reduced is more vulnerable." Inserting a more optimistic note, Bork said that he saw no need to de­ spair because American institutions have been in problems of great con­ cern before and managed to come back stronger than ever. "Government was not designed only for the easy, sunny days," he concluded. "It also is ready when trouble comes. There is no doubt in my mind that v/e will continue to pre­ vail over our troubles." Rev. Gerald J. Burns, principal of Bishop Hoban High School, said in his (coni'd on page 8) Each year the Wilkes College Alumni Association presents the "Outstand­ ing Leadership Award" to the member of the graduating class considered by a special committee to have made the strongest contribution to student life and the student program of the college.

Mines, M.D. '57 EDITOR'S NOTE: This article recently won first prize i editorial contest of the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Medial Society. It was written by Dr. Samuel Mines '57 of Mt. Leba ““ an allergist who enjoys writing for the fun of it. Dr. Mines"' Wilkes alumnus, received his doctor of medicine degree from tl" University of Pittsburgh. The article is reprinted with the perm’1 sion of the publisher. p ,s~ The vast amount of studying and the pressures of "making it" through medical school, internship, and the specialization of residency have taken too muchcompassion out of the practice of medicine. One cannot blame routine coldness on the age of specialization. Even urging the return to the family prac­ titioner by giving him a specialist rating has not seemed to help in most cases. If the patient comes to the physician with a visible problem — broken bone, cut, disease — he is almost for­ tunate. The physician will treat it in the best possible way. However, if the patient has an emotional or family problem causing a physical problem, the patient is__ in too many cases — out of luck. The doctor too often does not have the time to listen to the problem. Even worse, many physicians quite often do not want to even know about it! The patient might well be spared a developing ulcer, colitis,, depression, alcoholism, or drug addiction if the physician would take fifteen extra minutes to just listen to his tale of woe. Yes, I know full well there may be an office crowded with waiting patients. But if the physician would allow the patient to express his problems or fears, that patient might then be spared months or years of needless suffer­ ing. Just think of even one patient a day helped by fifteen extra minutes of listening. It is not impossible. Too often, however, the physician cuts off any hint of personal dis­ closure or emotional release by the patient. The problem then becomes more deep rooted and more troublesome. Of course the physician feels rushed. His stock 'answer: "I'm not a psychiatrist. I don't have time to lis­ ten to stories of family problems." If listening will pre­ vent future medical problems, it is the duty of each physician to take the few extra minutes to listen. God only knows how many tranquilizers have been passed out as a substitute for listening. I think it comes down to a matter of simple humanity. Perhaps that should be the last and most important course taught in medical schools: HUMANITY. Why do you think the public dotes on Dr. Welby or Dr. Gannon? Not because they are medical geniuses. Not because the patient always gets well in the end. It is because these fake T.V. doctors seem to care about the emotional prob­ lems that affect their patients. In the real practice of med­ icine, it is shameful to say, this just isn't so. When all of us put humanity back into the practice of all fields of medicine, the public will once more treat us with the respect and love they now give the fiction doctors. No, you don't have to go back to the house calls or the horse and buggy days. Just offer yourself as an expert in listening. You might surprise yourself as to what you learn about your patients, and how many you can actually "cure." Operation Future Termed A Success A group of 42 students, faculty, staff, and administration recently had the unique op­ portunity to discuss the present and future status of the college as they participated in "Operation Future," a three-day work ses­ sion designed to increase the interaction among the Wilkes family. According to Dr. Richard T. Rees, coordin­ ator of the program and assistant professor of education, "Never before had anything like this been attempted here. All of us at the college were able to see where we are at and where we are going." At the conclusion of "Operation Future," Dr. Rees said, "There was a general con­ sensus to continue such a program and also to expand it to include more of the Wilkes family, particularly the alumni." The goals of the program were: to clarify student, faculty, staff, and administration points of view about selected issues at the college; establish techniques to conduct a clarification process for use by teachers in their classrooms; and to formulate follow­ up plans for the selected issues discussed. Dr. Rees explained that solid issues were investigated with the group reaching a greater understanding of the problems and how to resolve them. "Much commonality exists between the concerns of the students and the faculty," stressed Dr. Rees, "but different perspectives are held by them." The first day of the session, the partici­ pants met at the college to identify the is­ sues to be discussed. The second day the group journeyed to the Bear Creek Camp and Conference Site in Bear Creek. Following a microJab where participants were introduced to each other, a summary of data from the preceding day was reviewed, and participants engaged in a full day of working out problems. Evaluations, problem-solving, and plan­ ning for the future took place on the final dav. "The program was well-received by every­ one," said Rees. "New friends and acquaint­ ances were made, and problems were re­ solved." Expressing optimism over this innovative move by Wilkes College, Dr. Rees said, "Hopefully, this wasn't a one-shot affair. Maybe it will be the beginning of new pat­ terns of interaction." Wilkes Golfers Finish Unscathed Right from the start the Wilkes golfers left little doubt in anyone's mind that this was going to be the greatest season ever. The season began with a week of pre­ season training at the Carolina Trace Coun­ try Club near Pinehurst, N. C. in mid-March and ended almost three months later at the NCAA Division III Tournament in Spring­ field, Ohio. In between the Blue and GoM golfers of RoHie Schmidt pulled off the almost impos­ sible dream of compiling an unblemished 16-0 dual meet record and then waltzing over a seven-team NCAA Regional Qualify­ ing field at Hershey to earn a berth in the nationals. At Springfield the Colonels played superb golf but managed only a 14th place in a strong 21-team field. "I wasn't really bothered with our showing in the nationals," explained mentor Schmidt, "We played con­ sistently against some of the best teams in the country and I was really proud of their season long effort." Senior Mark Jarolen, who averaged 76.8 during the regular season, paced the Colo­ nels with a 72-hole total of 305 to place 11th out of 125 golfers. Other members of the 1976 Colonel edi­ tion included senior Larry Gurnari, soph­ omore Ken Donlavage, and freshmen Bryan Hoynak and Joe Skladany, Winter Bids Farewell The "Bill Winter Era" of Wilkes College lacrosse officially came to an end on May 8 when the Colonels closed out their 1976 sea­ son with a thrilling 17-14 double-overtime loss to perennial power Franklin & Marshall College. Winter, a 6-0, 180-pound senior from Boonton, N. J. not only dominated the Wilkes lacrosse scene for three years but also made his presence known in the nation, leading the NCAA College Division in scor­ ing both his sophomore and senior years. Winter was a virtual one man show this spring, finding the nets for 50 goals and 30 assists in pacing the young and inexperi­ enced Blue and Gold stickmen to a 7-3 rec­ ord. For his efforts he was chosen as the Middle Atlantic Conference's most valuable player and was named a honorable mention All-American. Coach Chuck Mattei calls Winter the greatest college division player he has ever seen. The Colonel mentor furthered, "Billy was a team player all the way. Despite his scoring prowess he was an unselfish team member who wouldn't hesitate at a moments notice to pass the ball." A tribute to Winter's play was the fact that the Colonels won 31 games during his tenure while losing only eight. When the smoke finally cleared Winter ended his Wilkes career with 126 goals and 92 assists for 218 points and a 6.4 average per match. All four marks will probably never be broken. Colonel Basebailers 4th in Nation Gene Domzalski had a dream when he took over the reins of the Wilkes College baseball program in 1970, His ultimate hopes were to see the Colonels some day compete in the NCAA playoffs. After six years of futility his aspirations were finally realized this spring when the Blue and Gold not only gained an invite to play in the NCAA Mideast Regional Tour­ nament but went on to win the event and advance to the NCAA Division III World Series at Marietta, Ohio. Stopped short of a national championship, the Wilkesmen, nevertheless, finished fourth in the nation and broke all team records with a 21-8 season log. 29th Annual Homecoming Weekend October 22-24,1976 For the first time in history, the Blue and Gold broke into the top twenty of the Col­ legiate Baseball News rankings and after the Mideast Regional reached all the way to second place. At seasons end junior fireballer Jim Stehle was grabbed by the Chicago White Sox in the fourth round of the major league draft of collegiate and high school players. Stehle, a lefthanded pitcher, climaxed the campaign with a 6-1 won-loss record, 1.41 era., and struck out 65 batters in 51 innings. Unfortunately, he had to miss the World Series at Marietta due to an injury to his hurling arm and his absence was felt. The Colonels were blessed with another solid southpaw in the person of Andy Kresky, who was a workhorse on the mound, pitching 75 innings. Kresky, a control artist, fashioned a 6-3 record to go along with a 1.94 era. He shutout Mansfield, 11-0, in the finale of the Mideast Regional and then fired a brilliant three-hitter at Montclair St. in the opening game of the World Series only to be beaten, 2-1, on a pair of error aided runs. Wilkes also got great service from junior knuckleballer Manny Evans who came out of the bullpen 12 times to register a 4-2 log and pace the club with three saves. Com­ pleting the hill corps were sophomores Bar­ ry Harcharufka, 3-0; and Joe Delozier, 2-2. While Blue and Gold pitchers stole most of the headlines, sophomore Mike Supczenski rallied from a slow season start to end the year with a .386 batting average. Other regulars who contributed significantly to the Colonels .316 team average were Greg Snyder, .373; Jim Michaels, .363; Don Mc­ Dermott, .327; Steve Leskiw, .320; and Dave Trethaway, .310. It was the year of the long ball and Mc­ Dermott and Leskiw waged a see-saw battle all year bringing back memories of Mantle and Maris to blast 10 and nine home runs respectively. As a team the Colonels clouted 46 fourbaggers and stunned fans attending the Mid­ east Regional at Mansfield when they erupted for 17 home runs in five games. All in all, it was a season of excitement and long awaited recognition for the Wilkes baseballers. Coach Domzalski's nine turned a few heads in the national collegiate base­ ball circles and proved that they could play with any College Division team in the country.

WILKES COLLEGE REPORT Published by The Wilkes College Public Relations Department Thomas J. Moran '49 Director EDITORIAL STAFF Editor George G. Pawlush '69 Alumni Notes Lynn Jacobs Wilkes Prepares for Hahnemann Telecommunication Link In the not too distant future, faculty mem­ bers of the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Philadelphia will be working in conjunction with health science personnel at Wilkes College as closed circuit television personalities. All of this will be the result of plans to support efforts of the Wilkes-Barre area fac­ ulty in the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program by means of a telecommunications linkage be­ tween the medical college and hospitals in the Wilkes-Barre area. By this means, students in the final phase of clinical training in the six-year WilkesHahnemann Medical Educational Program in Family Medicine will have continued access to educational programs being offered at the Medical College in Philadelphia while they are away from the parent institution. Programs will be transmitted "live" to tele­ vision centers in each of the area hospitals participating in the Wilkes-Hahnemann Pro­ gram, and also to the Stark Learning Center at Wilkes College. This TV network will be capable of twoway live interaction between participants in Philadelphia and the Wilkes-Barre area so as to afford the most meaningful educational experience possible in a remote-site educa­ tional program. At the same time, local fac­ ulty and health care professionals will have the opportunity of participating in the multi­ plicity of programs being televised in support of local continuing education efforts. This "live" TV network will carry prob­ lem-oriented medical conferences and semin­ ars, "Grand Rounds", in-service training programs and patient education. To this end, Hahnemann's Department of Communications in Medicine already is en­ gaged in the production of a variety of in­ structional video tapes which will form part of video tape libraries to be established at Hahnemann and Wilkes College. 1f n 3 Faculty, administration and students who are planning the three-fold All-College Assembly on on October 21 Reilly, Bruce at Lear; standing:Hall, Thomfrom ” Lleft to right, '6‘“' seated: Jack meyera, are pictured Weckesser Meyers, GinGina O'Crlcn, O Brien, Frank Salley, Patti oran, Dave Cherundolo, Jim Rodechko, Art Hoover, and Bill Gasbarro. Richard R. Getz, chairman of Hahne­ mann's Department of Communications in Medicine and director of the Wilkes-Hahne­ mann Television Network, in a recent status report for the network, advised that after four years of planning the telecommunica­ tions system is not in the actual design stage. Jack H. Wolff, technical director of Commun­ ications Systems, expects that the first phase of the project development will involve the establishment of the transmission system be­ tween Hahnemann, Wilkes College, and the five participating Wilkes-Barre area hospitals — Mercy Hospital, Nesbitt Memorial Hospi- tai, Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, Wyom­ ing Valley Hospital, and the Veterans Ad­ ministration Hospital. □ br f r r r r According to Harry Jenny, chief engineer for the telecommunications system, TV stu­ dios and distribution systems will also be added at each institution along with appro­ priate program origination and reception equipment. Dr. Ralph B. Rozelle, dean of health sci­ ences at Wilkes College and one of the pion­ eers in the innovative six-year program of medical education, said this major new com­ ponent would not have been possible without the combined efforts of Congressman Daniel J. Flood, chairman of the Appropriations Committee for Health, Education, and Wel­ fare; Wharton Shober, president of Hahne­ mann Medical College; and Dr. Wilbur Oaks, M.D., chairman of the Department of Medicine. With the aid and support of this mode of medical education, Wilkes-Barre area medi­ cal faculty will be able to concentrate their efforts on providing clinical training in medi­ cine to the Wilkes-Hahnemann students while under their tutorship. In addition to providing the WilkesHahnemann students with an educational pipeline to the Medical School, the telecom­ munications system will also provide the Greater Wilkes-Barre area medical institu­ tions with the technology to engage in long­ distance health care delivery transactions, such as x-ray diagnosis, speech therapy, electroencephelogram and electrocardiogram in­ terpretations, and other activities which lo­ cal health professionals wish to conduct over the television network to assist them in the delivery of health care to their patients in the Wilkes-Barre area. Funds also have been requested to estab­ lish Learning Resource Centers (LRC) at each of the local hospitals and at Wilkes College. The LRC will consist of video tape play­ back equipment which will provide the Wilkes-Hahnemann medical students and other health professionals with a useful edu­ cational tool. Although the primary mode of the WilkesHahnemann TV network is "live" interaction among participants, video learning carrells in the LRC's will allow the student to review taped medical conferences and prerecorded instructional programs and materials, such as medical techniques and procedures, so as to also afford the individual opportunity to engage in self-instruction. Arnaud Co Marts Courtyard Dedication Set Included as part of this year's homecoming weekend activities will be the dedication of the Arnaud C. Marts Courtyard of the Stark Learning Cen­ ter.

Vujica, who retired a year ago as chairman of the Wilkes College De­ partment of Philosophy and Religion after 28 years as an educator in this area, died suddenly on Sept. 5 while addressing a group of Croatian athletes in London, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Vujica was born in Yugoslavia. He studied at the Universities of Zagreb, Cro­ atia, Vienna and Innsbruck, Austria. He re­ ceived his master's degree from Innsbruck and his doctorate in Zagreb. In his native country he taught philosophy and was editor-in-chief of two magazines. In these and in other Croatian periodicals, Dr. Vujica published numerous articles and papers in the fields of philosophy and re­ ligion. Both he and his first wife, Nada, who died in 1971, became acquainted while working in a German labor battalion during World War II. Dr. Vujica had been imprisoned twice for writing magazine articles attacking Nazism and the Nazi persecution of the Jews. Early in the war he was identified as a member of the underground movement in Yugoslavia and shipped off to work in the Alps. It was at this time that he met Nada, who had been sent to the same camp from her post as a library clerk at the University of Zagreb, where her father was head man. They were married following the end of the war and immigrated to this country in 1947. Both were employed by Dr. Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College — Dr. Vujica as an instructor in the Philosophy Department, and his wife in the college li­ brary, She later became the chief librarian, serving until her death in 1971.

This latter organization consists of Croatian scholars, and was formed to keep native Croatians in­ formed of advances in the free world and to inform the free world, in turn, about the problems and cultural attainments in Cro­ atia. One of the most respected educators in the history of Wilkes College, Dr. Vujica served for many years as the chairman of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies. Recently, he was among a group of select Wilkes educators named as the first group of professors emeriti and was to have been among those honored at a special as­ sembly on the Wilkes campus on Oct. 21. Word of Dr. Vujica's death caused con­ siderable sorrow on the Wilkes campus and among his many associates and former col­ leagues. President Robert S. Capin said he was "shocked by this sudden departure of an in­ dividual who was one of the finest educators and most devoted members of the college family . . ."

Theater Hosts Guest Artists The Wilkes College Theater Department is inaugurating an exciting and innovative di­ mension to its theater arts program this fall with a special "Guest Artist Program" fea­ turing professional actor Will Stutts serving as guest director of George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man." According to Alfred Groh, director of the Wilkes Theater, few other colleges in the state have ever had Artist in Residence pro­ grams for students and this year Wilkes is the only college in Pennsylvania to be offer­ ing such an experience. Stutts has appeared previously at Wilkes College in his one-man characterization of Mark Twain. In addition, he has appeared in more than 30 plays throughout the coun­ try in repertory, summer stock, and National road companies. The guest artist program allows students enrolled at Wilkes to work very closely and personally with a professional actor on one of the college's major productions of the year.

After breaking into the NCAA University Division last year, the charges of Coach John Reese will be aiming to break the top twenty this time around. Starters in nine of ten weight classes from last year plus the addition of twenty outstanding freshman prospects figure to give Wilkes its strongest team of all time. I Gridders Primed For Future Sa i With only five seniors in the lineup the future of Wilkes College football is being en­ trusted to underclassmen with Coach Roland Schmidt looking to the future. Lettermen on this fall's team include, left to right, sitting — Mike Molitoris '79, Ed Murray '78, Larry Tarutis '78, Paul Wengen '78, Don McDermott '77, Tony Couto '78. Kneeling — Len Dalmas '77, Mark Molitoris '79, Bob Owens '79, Dwight Beck '79, Andy Cantos '79, Frank Wengen '77, Paul Adams '77. Standing — Chris O'Brien '78, John Lack '78, Creg Wild '78, Bill Sobczak '79, Bill Abrams '78, and Tony Pace '78. Loaded with young and untested players, the Wilkes College football team will be paying the price of inexperience this fall as the Blue and Gold begin their 31st season of football. Coach Reese will officially begin his 24th year at the Colonel helm on Dec. 1 when the Blue and Gold grapplers open with Lehigh University. Since coming to Wilkes in 1953 the nationally accoladed mentor has com­ piled a 219-45-7 record and won 14 Middle Atlantic Conference championships and the 1974 NCAA III title. The complete 1976-77 wrestling card: Dec. 1, Lehigh, home; Dec. 5, Binghamton Invita­ tional (Binghamton, Gettysburg, Cornell, Wilkes), away; Dec. 10, Navy, home; Dec. 13, Tennessee, home; Dec. 28-29, Wilkes Open, home; Jan. 8, VPI and West Chester, away; Jan. 10, East Carolina, away; Jan. 11, North Carolina, away; Jan. 15, Syracuse, away; Jan. 22, Oswego State, away; Jan. 26, Elizabethtown, home; Jan. 29, Lycoming, away; Feb. 2, Binghamton, home; Feb. 5, Hofstra, home; Feb. 9, East Stroudsburg, home; Feb. 12, Army, home; Feb. 16, Bucknell, home; Feb. 19, Franklin & Marshall, away; Feb. 26, Rutgers, away; Mar. 3-5, EIWA Tournament, Syracuse. After opening the 1976 campaign with a 13-0 loss to Indiana University, the Colonels show promise for the future on defense with only one senior in the lineup. There are 30 freshmen and 20 sophomores on the 1976 edition. Sophomores Alan Greenspan, Bill Slavoski, and Freshman Mike Wilson are running neck and neck for the quarterback job. Once this major problem is solved the offense should start to come around. Coach Rollie Schmidt has made a major change in the organization of his coaching staff. Jonah Goobic and Ed Lukas have been appointed offensive and defensive coordinators respectively and will report directly to Schmidt. For the first time in eight years, a Wilkes football game will be televised on local ABC affiliate, Channel 16. The Colonels Nov. 6 meeting with Juniata Col­ lege will be telecast beginning at 12 noon. NOTICE The WILKES COLLEGE REPORT is published by Wilkes College qu;larterly.
