Moffatt is a member of the Will™ College Board of Trustees serving on both the Executive and Finance Committees. He is a member of the American Institute and New York State Society of CPA’s and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Managers for the West Side YMCA in New York City. Gerald A. Moffatt, a graduate of the Wilkes Class of 1963. has been named chairman of the alumni drne for the 1981 Wilkes College Under the general chairmanship of attorney Eugene Roth. Campaign '81 at Wilkes is designed to assist the College in its commitment to quality education and scholarship assistance for deserving students. In accepting the chairmanship cn the alumni drive. Moffatt said. As Wilkes strives to maintain its high academic standing as a small, liberal arts institution, it becomes increasingly important to receive continued support from its alumni. With this in mind. I look forward to working with fellow Wilkes Your Contribution Could be Doubled... "Many companies — more than 800 in fact — would like to give money to Wilkes ... if only Alumni would let them!" According to James Aikman, Director of Development at Wilkes, these 800-plus companies participate in a matching gifts program. The companies agree to match gifts of alumni given to their alma maters on a one-to-one basis. This means that the alumnus who gives $100 to Wilkes can actually double the value of the gift when the company sends its $100 gift, resulting in a total gift of “ $200 for the College. The procedure is usually very simple — here's how it works: First, plan to participate in Campaign '81 and determine your gift to the College. Report this gift to the telethon volunteer who calls you. or return the pledge card you receive in the mail. Then, tell the appropriate person in your firm (usually in the personnel or community relations office) that you would like to have your gift matched. That person will then make arrangements to send your gift to the College along with, or followed by, a second gift courtesy of your firm's matching gifts program. Last year, 103 companies contributed $10,415 to Wilkes through matching gift efforts. Aikman feels, however, that even more gifts could be generated if more alumni would take the few minutes needed to learn if their employers participate in the program. "The College loses valuable support in those cases where matching gifts are not received simply because Alumni are not aware of the program" e stated. Some companies like Acoa, Eaton, IBM, and Xerox will match gifts on a basis greater than one-to-one, resulting in a tripling or quadrupling of an alumni gift. Telethon volunteers who will call to solicit telephone pledges will be trained to ask for your employer's name and check for its listing as a matching gift company. Alumni who mail in their pledge cards should add a brief note to the card stating something like "I work with XYZ Company — is it on your matching gifts list?" Development office personnel can then check the company and advise the alumnus of its status. Matching gifts — a fringe benefit from your company to your College — let's all use it I q CAMPAIGN WILKES COLLEGE NURSING PROGRAM TAKES ON ADDED DIMENSION On the morning of Tuesday, December 9, 1980, Wilkes College President Robert S. Capin made the official announcement to members of the media and the community: “Wilkes College is pleased to announce that nursing students from Hazleton (PA) and surrounding communities will be able to obtain a baccalaureate degree in nursing from Wilkes College through course work done primarily in Hazleton." On the morning following the press conference the Hazleton Standard Speaker newspaper projected the importance of the announcement with a front page headline proclaiming "Wilkes Nursing Program Starts Here in the Fall.” The Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton, Pa., as it is called, came to fruition following months of planning and negotiation with the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare (PDW), Hazleton State General Hospital (HSGH) and Wilkes. Last year the PDW withdrew its financial support for Nursing Diploma Programs which have been offered at HSGH since 1894. "The withdrawal of funds by the State could have left a very serious void in the education of nursing students from this area," said Mrs. Nancy Super, Administrator of HSGH. "The program will not only bridge the obvious gap, but it will provide students with a quality program that will assure the best in patient care.” Helen O’Bannon, Secretary of Public Welfare for Pennsylvania, said, "The program will respond to both the changing requirements of the nursing profession, as well as to the needs of those in the Hazleton area who are seeking nursing careers. This is particularly important since nursing shortages are of concern to us all." In explaining the program, Ruth McHenry, chairman of the department of nursing at Wilkes, said, "During the first year, students At a December press conference, Wilkes President Robert S. Capin (standing) makes official announcement regarding Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton, PA. Other officials participating in the announcement include (seated, L to R) Mrs. Nancy Super, Administrator of HSGH; Dr. Gerald Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs at Wilkes; Mr. Henry Friedman, Supervisor of State General Hospitals, Northeastern District, DPW; Mrs. Ruth McHenry, Chairman of the Wilkes Department of Nursing; and Mr. Daniel Myers, Chairman of the HSGH Board of Trustees. A Silent Look Back... T" i-- • by Dr. Charles Reif Although Doctor Grace Kimball was probably known to few people presently on campus, it is altogether fitting and proper that the Wilkes College Family pause a moment to note her passing at noon on January the fourth. As the Professor of Microbiology in the Department of Biology from 1963 until 1975, Grace Kimball imparted the basics of bacteriology to many students. Professor Kimball was a special friend to a small number of people who followed her into the field of microbiology. Grace Kimball was one of the most well read members of the faculty of Wilkes College. In her library was an extensive section of books on the history of architecture and the history of science. She was a lifetime member of the History of Science Society, as well as other scientific organizations. An accomplished pianist, Grace Kimball bought a new grand piano after her retirement from the classroom but had little time to enjoy playing it before a terminal illness overtook her. Through her generosity, the piano and a fine collection of sheet music, as well as most of the books on architecture and science have been given to Wilkes College. Grace Kimball was an interested birdwatcher and frequently noted unusual species of avian visitors in her yard at Shavertown. Because of her small stature and her field of microbiology, within the Department of Biology Grace was affectionately known as "our micro biologist." Grace enjoyed that in-joke and in many ways revealed a delicate sense of humor with those who came to know her. Grace Kimball's years of service, as unheralded as they may have been, were part of the larger ongoing and excellent entity which has been Wilkes College. We should all be aware of the contributions made by Grace and many others through the years. Requiescat in peace, Grace Kimball. q Dr. Charles B. Reif is Professor of Biology at Wilkes and joined the College Faculty in 1942. The photo of Grace Kimball used in this article was taken from the 1966 Wilkes College Yearbook.

Lewis, Jr., 'HO It is a building, more elegant and majestic than most others, and with a sense of heritage surrounding it. It is not a hall of government nor an ancient ruin, but an aura of importance and history emanates from tins place. As a silent witness to the establishment and development of Wyoming Valley, the land — and later the building — has had a key place in our local history. Kirby Hall has been the site of many of the great milestones in our tradition, and the recent renovations underline the continuing important role that the property will play at Wilkes College and to the Valley as a whole. Indeed, the story of this historic property seemingly encompasses a synopsis of the early and continuing development of the area. The story begins with the founding of the Valley, when the site was listed as Lot No. 1 of the town of Wilkes-Barre in Major John Durkee’s original town plan. Jabez Sill owned the lot on which he built the second house erected in Wilkes-Barre. This “house” was, in fact, a log cabin where, on April 1, 1769, the first marriage in Wyoming Valley took place. Colonel Nathan Denison, later famous for signing the articles of surrender following the Wyoming Massacre, and Elizabeth Sill were married at the ceremony. In the early 1800s, the property was sold by the Sill family to Roswell Welles for 200 pounds. Interestingly, the deed contained a clause granting immunity from any claim to the property made under the laws of the State of Connecticut — a reflection on the then contemporary YankeePennamite conflicts that the early Valley settlers faced. Roswell Welles was one of the four attorneys admitted to the bar of Luzerne County when the County was formed in 1787. A graduate of Yale College, Welles was to serve the area in the State Legislature, and later as a county judge. The home Welles built on the site was described as a “double house, ceiled with pine boards and probably never finished in the second story. In front of the home stood the residence of Jabez Fish, on the bank of the river.” The Welles home was, in its day, considered one of the social centers of the town. Here Harman Blennerhasset, later implicated in the Aaron Burr scandal, was entertained. Judge Welles died in 1831 and apparently the property then passed through several ownerships. George Bedford, in his Some Early Reflections, described the propertv during the period in this wav: “When I first knew the premises the house was in a dilapidated condition and the large lot surrounding it was utilized as a lumber yard and the whole neighborhood was uninviting." The site was eventually to be acquired by (he Stephen Thurlow family in 1872. The present structure was erected in 1873-74 and occupied by the family in 1875. The building was designed by the New York architect Frederick Withers, a leading architect of the period, and is an example of the monochromatic form of the High Victorian Gothic style of the time. The architect’s perspective and several floor plans of the building were illustrated in the December 9, 187G issue of The American Architect and Building News, a leading architectural journal of the late nineteenth century. In September, 1880, the home was sold to J. Frank Lee for $40,000. Several years later, in July of 1886, Lee sold the property for S42,500 to Reuben J. Flick. The Kirby family acquired the property from Flick's widow in October of 1905 for $55,100. Kirby made several alterations to the building. A stone terrace replaced the frame porch around the front of the building. Also, the interior woodwork and windows were replaced. The Kirbys did, however, leave intact the wall paintings above the wainscoting in the dining room that were supposed to have been the work of Mademoiselle Juliette Gambaro, a French artist who was brought to America by the Thurlow family. The property remained the home of the Kirby family until the death of Fred M. Kirby in 1940. Thereafter, his son, Allan, donated the property to Bucknell University Junior College for use as the “Fred M. and Jessie A. Kirby Home of Education.” The intended use was to be an art center and library for the College. In giving the property, the Kirbys provided for the use of two rooms on the first floor by the Wyoming Valley Society of Arts and Sciences — a group made up of many area civic leaders. It was this Society that was later to give to Wilkes College the land on which the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts now stands. The need for a library surpassed the need for an art center in Kirby Hall, but, in a way, the Kirby mansion has more than fulfilled its intended mission. The upper portions of the house were used for classrooms, and for several years the top floor of the building served as the President's residence for Dr. Eugene Farley and his family until the College acquired the present Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House which was then used as the President’s home. The removal of the library collection to the Eugene Shedden Farley Library meant a transformation for Kirby Hall into use by the Foreign Language Department. Presently, the Department of Language and WINTER 1981 9 �Literature is based in the building. One of the most historic buildings on campus, Kirby Hall naturally has a number of tales told about it. Supposedly, around the turn of the century, a gambler named Poker Pan was killed in a gambling dispute in what was formerly the music room (now the language lab). Many alumni remember that for years the Kirby's chauffeur, Ted Dugan, lived on the second floor of the rear carriage house, which was later to become the College Commons. The first floor, with its revolving turntable in the floor (used for working on carriages and cars), was used as a garage by the College until the WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY chauffeur's death. Then the College converted the carriage house into a cafeteria. Worthy of note in Kirby Hall are the terra cotta wine racks that are still in the basement, a graphic reminder of how life once was. Finally, it should be noted that while Wilkes College occupies the Kirbv building, another school, Lafayette College, has one of its rooms. The Kirbys had an exact reproduction of the home's library built in Van Wyck Hall at Lafayette and the contents of the Kirby family library were placed there. But of all the tales about Kirbv Hall, the story of the life of Fred M. Kirby stands out as the most notable. His life reads like a Horatio Alger story, a young man working his way to the top of corporate and community 1 affairs. Horn in Brownsville, New York, on October 30, 1861, Kirby was the son of William and Angeline Slater Kirby. Prior to their marriage, Kirby’s father had participated in the California gold rush of 1849. Fred Kirby received his education in public schools and at age 15 became a clerk in a dry goods store in Watertown, New York. Among his fellow employees were F. w Woolworth and C. S. Woolworth setting the basis for the later famous and profitable association For eight years, Kirby worked in the store, until he had saved a few hundred dollars which was to serve as his share of capital in a partnership with C. S. Woolworth. On September 1, 1884, Woolworth and Kirby opened their first five-and-ten cent store at 172 East Market Street, Wilkes-Barre. When the store first opened, the fixtures were rough and unfinished and the counters were made of hemlock planks. Kirby’s desk was an old dry goods box which he kept for years as a memento of the difficulties faced in his early business career. Kirby, however, surmounted those difficulties because after three years he purchased Woolworth’s portion of the firm. In 1888, he brought his father in as a business partner. The firm continued to prosper and by 1911, 96 stores east of the Mississippi River were in operation. In 1912, Kirby merged his five-and-ten cent stores with those of the Woolworth family and became a vice-president and director of F. W. Woolworth and Company. Kirby’s other business interests were numerous. He was a director or officer of many business organizations, including: the Miners’ Bank of WilkesBarre; the Second National Bank of Wilkes-Barre; the Lehigh Valley Railroad; the U. S. Lumber Company; the Mississippi Central Railroad; the International Equities Corporation; and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York. w if L ■ Many, however, remember Kirby because of his tremendous support of civic, humanitarian, and philanthropic causes. His gift to Wilkes-Barre of Kirby Park and the Angeline Kirby Health Center stands out among his many good works. He was also a significant contributor to Wyoming Seminary and Lafayette College. His generosity is seen in the donation of his country estate in Glen Summit for use by the Episcopal churches of the area. Kirby even turned his yacht, “Suzanne,” over to the U. S. government during World War I at no cost, for use by the coastal patrol service. And, of course, his generosity gave us what is now Kirbv Hall. Darte Center for the Performing Arts along the dike at Kirbv Park. Preceded in death by his wife, Jessie, Fred Kirbv died on October 16, 1940, at his Glen Summit estate. Thus, the story of his life ended, but his fame and labors are still very much alive for the people of Wyoming Valley. Of course, it was in Kirby Hall that F. M. Kirby formulated many of his ideas and plans for his community. “If only these walls could talk” would be a fitting statement to be made in the building. The site has been a silent witness to events ranging from Indian settlements along the river to General Sullivan’s Revolutionary encampment across the road, from steam boats cruising up the Susquehanna to the arrival of the first railroad train to come into the Valley on the adjacent corner in 1843. Here in 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt spoke on the River Common — the river water of many floods inundated its grounds. It has also witnessed the growth of a College and the intellectual development of many minds. It seems fitting that a place so endowed in history and purpose should now serve as a hall of education. Indeed, it appears that destiny has directed this land to become part of an institution of learning. As if almost by an invisible force, Wilkes College acquired the property and Honored for his service in so Wilkes College holds as a goal for many endeavors, Kirby received its students the constructive the Distinguished Achievement participation in the social, Medal of the Pennsylvania economic, cultural, and political Society, thus joining the ranks of life of the community. This other noted recipients including institutional commitment is Andrew Carnegie, Henrv Ford, consistent with the Kirby and Andrew Mellon. Another family’s philosophy.

Where Have All The Teachers Gone...? by Randy Xenakis In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was commonplace to hear a high school senior or a first-year college student say, "I want to be a teacher after I graduate." Today those words are a little more difficult to come by. Why? There are several reasons. Dr. Joseph Bellucci, associate professor of education at Wilkes, refers to an article published last year by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) for answers. The article, in part, states, "Between 1979 and 1988, a 14% reduction in secondary school classroom staff is expected. This decline is expected during the same period in which the number of elementary school staff is projected to rise in response to increasing enrollments at this level." According to Bellucci, the teaching field and those aspiring to become teachers reached its saturation point in the early 1970s and, as a result, caused skepticism in the minds of many college bound students. "There was no incentive to become a teacher in the early to mid-70s," says Bellucci. "Jobs were scarce and the salaries were not keeping pace with salaries of other professionals." Statistically, Bellucci reports that between 1969 and 1973 25% of all college students were enrolled in Teacher Education Programs. Today, that figure has plummeted 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY to 6%. "The current projection of possible teachers is not nearly enough to replace present or anticipated demand." says Bellucci. "The death rate of teachers, coupled with those who retire or leave the profession, far outnumbers the present available teaching roster." NCES reports. "The total demand for additional elementary/secondary school teachers includes first-time and returning teachers needed to respond to enrollment changes, lower pupil-teacher ratios, and staff attrition. From 1969 to 1973, the cumulative demand for additional school teachers was estimated at 990,000 and during the next five-year period, 1974 to 1978, the total demand dropped to an estimated 819,000. For the current five-year period, 1979 to 1983, the demand for additional teachers is expected to decrease further to 622,000, through the following 5-year period, 1984 to 1988, it is projected to increase to 861,000." Bellucci cited some specifics which led to the boom of aspiring teachers during the late 1960s and very early 1970s. "Personally, I think the Vietnam War played a strong part in the influx of teachers during that time. Students were given draft deferments for going to college and did not have to serve in the armed forces if they entered the teaching profession. Naturally, teachers were in abundance." Bellucci went on to say that during that wartime period, there was a decrease in the total number of new births . . . "another reason the teaching population far outweighed the student pool," said Bellucci. Today, many of the Vietnam War era students and soldiers are starting families of their own, contributing to what is being termed a new "baby boom"consequently, the need for more teachers. The statistics are supported by current trends. "We get calls on a weekly basis from schools throughout the Northeast requesting teachers who can teach science, mathematics, or business education . . . like other schools, we just don't have any," reports Bellucci. Bellucci contends that if Wilkes had 100 students who were certified to teach these courses, he could place every one of them. Getting back to the root of the problem, the College Placement Bureau reports that nearly threefourths of today's college students attend college because they seek high-paying jobs. "The measure of success today is based on salary and not social conscience as was the case in the 1960's," says Bellucci. "And," he continued, "we all know that being an elementary school teacher is usually done out of love and not for money . . ."

Tom Miller, who earned his degree in business administration, is currently co-general manager in charge of business for the National Football League franchise. Miller, who as a student at Wilkes was assistant coach to George Ralston and a member of the professional Wilkes-Barre Bullets team, played NFL ball right out of high school. After graduating from Milton High School, he entered the Navy. Upon discharge, he played three years as an end for the Philadelphia Eagles (1942-44). After spending the 1945 season with the Washington Redskins, he completed his NFL career with the Packers in 1946. 'When I left the Packers in '46, I wanted to get a college degree and coach somewhere," said Miller. And that’s when I found Wilkes — when I went to Wilkes-Barre to play for the Bullets." 1'om was a good fella," says Ralston, noting that Miller was one of only two assistants the Wilkes dean ever had as the first head grid mentor. "He really helped us the two years he was with us and Tom was a fine gentleman." After leaving Wilkes in 1951. he coached football and basketball for a year at the National Agricultural College (now Delaware Valley College) before moving to Drexel where he coached football, baseball and basketball until 1955. ,'.,u ,• ■’ > JXIll 1. . -I ,•! t?*; In 1956, Ralston received a call from Miller who was out in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He was being interviewed for a job with the Packers and needed the dean's reference. “I remember that day like it was yesterday," recalls Ralston. "Tom said ‘George, if I get your recommendation, 1'11 get the job.' I was thrilled to be able to help him." That year. Miller started what is now 25 years of service to the Packers. He was publicity director of the Green Bay team from 1956-65. Then he was named Assistant to the General Manager until 1975, when he was promoted to his present position. Ralston remembers a time, some 15 years ago, when a group of Wilkes alumni were meeting in the Washington area. "That weekend the Packers were coming to town to meet the Redskins." says Ralston. "And ol' Tom took care of the boys. They were allowed to sit on the bench and that's when Vince Lombardi was coaching," adds Ralston, who played against Lombardi and Fordham in his college davs. Miller says he feels the Packers will be back in the thick of things in the NFL race very soon. "We should be on our way up in the next WINTER 1981 15 �few seasons. We have some good draft choices available and we have a lot of young talent.” adds Miller, who is co-general manager along with Bob Harland. "I think the club helped Bart Starr by taking a lot of responsibility from him this past year.” Green Bay let Starr go as far as general manager in charge of player development is concerned. The former Packer quarterback will now concentrate on coaching. Ralston remembers watching the first Super Bowl and seeing the films of when the “Pack” arrived back in Green Bay following its win. “There, coming off the plane carrying the Super Bowl trophy with Lombardi, was ol’ Tom.” The Wilkes graduate is hoping to repeat that performance in the near future with Bart Starr. were: Nebraska 4814 Coacb John Reese's Wilkes Colonels 4a.

NELSON — WILKES OPEN CHAMPION For the second straight year. Wilkes crowned an individual champion in its 48th annual Open Wrestling Tournament. Sophomore Lenny Nelson recorded a 5-0 record enroute to the prestigious individual title in the 142-pound class. Missouri captured the team championship with 95 points in the tournament tabbed.

Rounding out the top five "Lenny has really been wrestling well for us this year." said Reese, who entered his 28th year at the helm of the Colonels with an impressive 286-60-8 career Machine slate. “He was unstoppable in the 8 open tournament and we're looking for a good performance from him in the Easterns." The 5-6. 142-pound pre-law major started the year with a 2-0-1 record including a win over Lehigh's Tom Sloand. He then suffered two losses — to Auburn's Earnie Blazeff and Clemson's Tom Carr — before getting back on the track and winning five of his next six bouts, including the last four in a row at press time. Lenny hails from Buena Regional High School in Buena, New Jersey. A resident of Richland. N.J., he earned four letters each in wrestling and football while in high school. He was a three-time District Champion and finished third in the New Jersey High School wrestling championships. Last season, Bryan Billig copped an individual title for Wilkes in the Open and that was the first championship for the Colonels since the early 70’s when Mike Kassab recorded the feat. Named “Outstanding Wrestler” of this season’s tourney was Kent State’s heavyweight Ray Wagner. Wagner also was the high-point award winner and received the Manny Gorriaran Award for greatest number of falls in least aggregate time. Auburn’s Clar Anderson was tabbed as the outstanding freshman.

A United States Navy veteran and a native of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, Richard Raspen received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Education from Wilkes in 1967 and a Master of Business Administration degree in 1977. He holds a Master of Education degree from Bloomsburg State College. Dick is a well-known member of the Wilkes College family, having served as Director of Financial Aid since 1967. In that position, he was responsible for the administration of aid programs worth over $6 million a year touching the lives of 80% of the Wilkes student body. "One of the many challenges of this new position," said Raspen, "will be to use my knowledge of the alumni and capitalize on their familiarity with me to maintain alumni interest in the College while supporting the needs of our programs." "While Wilkes is a relatively young institution, our graduates have achieved positions of high importance and great responsibility in numerous areas of our society. Through the Alumni Association we will be calling on these individuals for leadership and support," he noted.

Scent ration the pr?gram 20 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY importance, students are fortunate to have the broadly-based program designed and implemented by the Department of Language and Literature. A program which prepares them mentally and morally for roles as members of a complex society7. According to Kaska, "The Department is a multi-discipline one, created in response to a need, a 'marriage of convenience' which seems to be working." The "marriage" which combined the Department of English and the Department of Foreign Languages, generated majors in Communications Studies and Theater Arts. Kaska's philosophy is in keeping with that of the College and holds to the notion that . . . the truly educated, student in the Liberal Arts "should know a little about everything and a lot about something." He feels that it is essential to be able "to think clearly and critically and to write and speak gracefully and effectively," no matter what field of endeavor one pursues. In this vein, the program is designed to cover several facets, from English literature to career oriented courses in communications, including: broadcasting, journalism and public relations. "The program in English at Wilkes is doing comparatively well," Kaska said, "the department has about seventyfive majors. Nationally however, the discipline is doing badly. A recent study published by the American Council on Education and the University of California reports that of college freshmen in 1969, who indicated a probable field of study, English was the choice of 6.1% of the women and 1.7% of the men. In 1979 the figure for women was 1.2% and for men 0.6%. Enrollments in English at Wilkes have steadily declined."

Student actors performing at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center. The play was an original entitled "Flood" by playwright Philip Bosakowski. Kaska continued to say that if the situation does not reverse itself, "English at the college level will face the dreadful possibility of a loss of identity as a discipline in its own right — as a community of scholars, who study literature for its own sake — as a source of pleasure and as an index to cultural values. It faces, in other words, the possibility of becoming a 'service' department." However, the department has done and is doing a number of things to stabilize enrollments. One of these is the Creative Writing Program. Each year, enthusiastic students are given the opportunity to meet nationally and internationally known writers both in the classroom and on a consultation basis.

The problem is not a new one, in fact, there are many7 educators who are encouraged because it is now accepted and recognized and is slowly7 being alleviated on college campuses. The need to deal with it is vital, because no matter what area of study the student chooses, he or she must be able to translate thought to word or to paper. Logically, what does it matter how much knowledge one has in any area if that knowledge cannot be imparted. This does not imply that the vast majority7 of students are deficient in the art of communicating, but for those who are, it limits them in whatever they undertake either academically or socially. What caused the void? There are endless theories as to the cause of the problem and most of those are endlessly debatable. However, several educators agree with historian Barbara W. Tuchman, who states in a New York Times article, that somewhere in the recent past there was a "deterioration of standards." Basics, it seems, were neglected at the elementary or secondary levels and colleges are now experiencing the result of trends in education during the 1960's which contributed to the deterioration. Whatever the reason, this information leads to the real purpose of this article — how the Wilkes College Department of Language and Literature is combating this national problem. The answers received from Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the department, are gratifying. In a time when words such as negotiation, arbitration and communication are of prime proficient in areasT^^ The consistency of thp has much to dofwithD? Pa Referring again to the most basic problems and challenges for his department, Kaska said, "The most severe challenge we face is that of teaching writing. Fortunately, Wilkes, unlike so many other schools, did not abandon its composition requirement and all students are required to fulfill a two-semester, six-credit sequence in composition. We have had to, over the past decade, face the problem of declining verbal aptitude and as you know, our experience is true to the national experience." One of the solutions used to ace this particular problem was creation of a writing aooratory. Judging from the tra hc ln and around Room 257 “ the Stark Learning Center n er.e the lab is located, it is a P Polar solution. That popularity fulfill ‘Vart to the need s' Here students may come DpU ^Ue Par* of the students who come in for help Interaction between Dr. Heaman and her students is really priceless." Heaman feels that the lab is successful since there are approximately 250 to 300 students who come for help each semester. Of these, more than half come in on their own. She states, This is, for them, another way of learning. In class they are handing a paper in and getting a paper back; here in the lab, they articulate their problems to someone and get a personal response." The lab is fully equipped and is staffed by carefully selected student tutors. Kaska said that the department is currently reviewing its whole effort and "believes that the job of teaching writing must be shared by the College as a whole." In the area of career oriented courses, the department, in its effort to serve student needs, initiated a new major last year in Communications Studies. This major seeks to develop the awareness of those students who will deal with historical and cultural concerns, and to develop their skills in writing and in speaking. Though comparatively new, the program has been recognized by Project Quill, an organization which supports creative efforts on campuses to generate new ways to link disciplines and professions to produce a truly educated person. Specifically recognized was a course entitled Communications m an Open Society. This course is attp’nfa-d adXanta8e over those pending other colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania: the highly skilled theater faculty who teach performance, production, design and criticism and ... the unique part ... the excitement of applying the knowledge in the professional setting of the fully equipped, 500-seat Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Students who select this major will be required to study in three main areas: literature, criticism and history; technical theater, and performance. Four major productions are staged each academic year, and students are involved in all aspects of these productions; as actors, directors, technicians, and set and costume designers. Jay Siegfried, director of theater, has plans for bringing summer theater workshops to the Center for the Performing Arts as an inducement to young people who want to do summer theater without having to go to a metropolitan area. Under an English curriculum which guides the student from the very basics in a writing lab to classics in literature; a Communications Studies program which strives to educate young minds to assimilate, analyze and ethically report public issues; a Theater Arts program and Speecn Division to teach social presence, a Modern Foreign Language their own sphere; and most SSg? of mass communication an o WINTER 1981 21 �flute instructor and she is also em­ ployed as a computer operator with New Jersey Bell Telephone.

To be effective, the College has, during this period, expanded its programs, strengthened its curriculum, maintained a strong faculty and made a continuing commitment to the students and community it serves.

FROM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR SPECIAL PROGRAMS Robert S. Capin, president of Wilkes College announced this week that the 48-year-old academic institution has received a grant in the amount of $185,000 from the U.S. Department of Education. The funds are earmarked for the development of self-strengthening programs in student services as well as continued progress in the area of institutional research. Made possible through the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Title III), the grant will assist the College in developing a learning laboratory for students who require special educational assistance in basic learning skills. In addition, the one-year stipend will aid the College in strengthening and continuing its efforts in the area of institutional research and information systems management. "We are indeed pleased that these funds have been made available to us so that we can continue to offer special programs of excellence to our students," said Capin. The establishment of a learning laboratory will allow the College to provide tutorial services in reading, writing, mathematics, the sciences and other special study skills which will assist students who require assistance in the basic learning skills. In addition, the program will allow for counseling, peer and professional tutoring and other services that will help students achieve and sustain satisfactory academic performance. A portion of the grant money will be used to assist the College in institutional research and information systems management. "In preparing for the annual and the long-range plans of the College, the need for a comprehensive institutional data base and an integrated information management system has become increasingly more important," remarked Capin. "The College’s ability to make objective and rational analysis of its academic and administrative outcome and to project future alternatives has become complex. This grant will assist us in establishing an information 4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED The Hazleton National Bank initiated an annual scholarship for a "capable and deserving student form the Hazleton area” enrolled in the Wilkes College Program in Nursing: Hazleton.

O WINTER 1981 7 �WILK ______ O * < V THE MANY FACES AND ROLES OF DEAN GEORGE RALSTON WILKES COLLEGE • WILKES-BARRE • PENNSYLVANIA 18766__________________________________________ By Jane Manganella It is fairly safe to assume that ALL alumni and MOST students know Dean George F. Ralston; he has been a member of the Wilkes College family for nearly thirty-five years. Over the years and in each of the many roles he’s played, he has touched the lives and influenced the futures of countless students. Some remember him as a teacher, others, a coach or an administrator or an advisor or all of the above because he played several of the roles simultaneously. The Dean has worn many hats and different faces in his career at Wilkes, and in whatever capacity he’s worked, one thing is consistently obvious ... He has loved every moment! In his own words, he looks back “joyously to those beginning days." George Ralston’s first “How Do’’ to A/oming Valley was in the summer of 1940. when he was hired by the ~ i.-ty Fort School District to teach in “a Dana Street School. He was a recent g aduate of the University of . ■ Carolina where be received, . .- ■-.= B.S.

I wrote, they called to set up an interview, and I was hired to teach and coach football and basketball.” He stayed in the school district for a year and a half, then, in 1941 his teaching career was interrupted by World War II. He was drafted into the Army where he would serve for the next four and a half years and where he would advance from the rank of private to major before being honorably discharged in 1946. “The people I’d met when I was in Wyoming Valley stayed in my thoughts and I wanted to come back here to work tor a time before I went to med school."

Those boys would decorate that gym so that it looked like a ballroom. They were something special." The Lettermen worked and played with equal amounts of determination and, at times, with a bit too much enthusiasm. For example, they decided to create Wilkes College’s first baseball diamond in Kirby Park.

"I never did see much of that car," George mused. “Those guys used it for funerals, weddings, dates, and I used to park it behind Chase — when I’d go to get it, it was gone a lot.” In the early ’50’s, Dean Ralston went to one of the many dinner dances and recognized a former student who was now a member of the music faculty. He asked Helen Bitler Hawkins to dance. They danced and talked all evening and soon were seeing each other frequently.

Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs at Wilkes, is compiling information to be included in a history of the first fifty years of the College. He is in need of additional memorabilia, and is requesting that Alumni who have prints, slides, or negatives of pictures depicting the history of Wilkes and who are willing to share those items to contact him. He promises to return anv items in their original state once he uses them, if requested. The Alumni Office received a visit from Reese Pelton '48 some time ago. Many of you recall that Reese was the Alumni operation here at the College and edited the Alumnus in its formative years. Reese brought with him extra copies of those early publications, and they have been shared with Al Groh. Al feels, however, that much more material is in the hands, or attics, or shoe boxes of many Alumni and that material could contribute substantially to the history he is developing. So, if any readers have such information and will share it with Al, send it to: Alfred S. Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs, Wilkes College, P.O. Box 111, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766. He will certainly appreciate it.

Periodic updates on both the Residence Hall funding campaign and the progress of the construction will appear in future issues of the Quarterly/A lumnus. RESIDENCE HALL CAMPAIGN PROGRESSES Major strides are being made in the campaign to raise funds for the College's newest building project, the Residence Hall currently under construction at the corner of South River and East Northampton Streets. The facility, which will cost in excess of 53 million, will provide housing for 205 students on four floors. One facet of the Alumni involvement is the identification of key Alumni in various geographical areas such as New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. These key Alumni are being systematically visited by President Capin and Dean of External Affairs Thomas Kelly. During those visits, corporate and foundation visits are also scheduled, and the "Wilkes College Story" is presented for their consideration. As of this writing, more than 5770,000 in pledges have been secured toward the goal of $1.2 million in short-term funds. These pledges, which have come largely from Trustees and Alumni, will be payable during the five-year period 1983 through 1987. Gift opportunities still exist through the program of Named Areas and Memorial Gifts, including the naming of a room (510,000), the naming of offices (515,000), the naming of a suite of 8 ALUMNUS Your Wilkes necktie.

World War II had recently ended and thousands of veterans were returning home to begin or continue college studies. The scales definitely tipped toward heavy male enrollment during the next several years, but Doris wanted to continue her studies. Encouraged by her parents she decided to register at Wilkes (then Bucknell Junior College.) "I entered College with everything pointing to studying for a career in music, but I enjoyed the sciences too so I concentrated in Biology. That was when I met Dr. Charles Reif, one of the strongest influences in my eventual choice of medicine as a profession.” Dr. Bartuska said, “He recognized my interest and potential and encouraged me to nurture that interest.” Dr. Reif founded a pre-met ; o and soon I was serving as Preside 7e would tour hospitals and labs to become “People conceded that I like research,” says Dr. John Orehotsky. It’s his modest way of admitting that he is at least one of the most active Wilkes faculty members in research and publications. He explains that his field — materials engineering — is a hybrid between chemistry and physics and lends itself to research. He also notes that he uses research to introduce students to concepts 'n a particular aspect of a field or perhaps to a research concept itself. But the gleam in his eyes and the quiet citement in his voice tell you that his e mgs about research go beyond this. As you know that you are talking With a nian wh° loves his work. Research is fascinating,” he says. “It’s tre tracking nature, finding what’s nrn |'|^ Us' There's an excitement with ^’"’hltltes^he miend/’<n0Wn'’'H* Zip fni/\mci”her °1 the engineering faculty ba^gro7n?is^e-Uana,i0nal familiar with environment." At some elusive point in time during this period a dream was born in Doris Gorka's mind . . . she wanted to become a Doctor of Medicine. Although it was 1946, these were days prior to ERA and the philosophy of the liberated woman. Medical schools, she knew, were predominately male. The more she considered the notion the more she became enthusiastic and determined to pursue the dream, and so in 1949 she graduated from Wilkes College and applied to the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She was accepted and left for Philadelphia to begin her studies. She received the Doctor of Medicine Degree in 1954 and between 1953 and 1958 she not only did her internship, residency and fellowship in her specialty (Endocrinolgy) but married Anthony Bartuska and had four daughters (increased to six by 1965). Looking at this list of accomplishments one begins to wonder HOW?? "Everyone asks that," she said smiling, "and the answer is Tony. He was always there, for example I started my internship when our first two children were just toddlers. Tony was stationed at the Philadelphia Naval Base.

It enables him to delve into many areas of scientific research, including physics and chemical engineering. But his field of expertise is magnetism, and it is one that has earned him recognition as a researcher and educator. Five fellowships, including one in Portugal, attest to this. And it is in magnetism research that John Orehotsky finds one of the greatest sources of professional satisfaction. “It s ego-flattering to know you’re on the leading edge of something,” he says. “And I’ve been there several times with magnetism." Just this past year he spent several months in Portugal on a Fulbright fellowship and presented some of his work al the First Energy Conference ot Porto of Portugal. He notes that through his fellowships he is able to bring new concepts and techniques back to Wilkes. Wilkes is conducive to faculty research, according to this faculty member, because the opportunity to engage in research exists without the pressure to do so. 1 he engineering professor started his career tn research, has seen both sides ot the com, and prefers the collegiate atmosphere. Although his research at Wilkes began in a modest way (in a small room in the basement), he has enjoyed success. “Wilkes may not have the most sophisticated research equipment,” he says, “but for an institution this size, I think it does quite well. I’m pleased with what I’ve got.” He is also pleased with the success of the students he teaches, many of whom have gone on to complete graduate work in engineering. In fact, according to Dr. Orehotsky, the percentage of Wilkes engineering students who go on to graduate school is equal to that of any major college or university. It’s a statistic that pleases him enormously. “There’s a virtue all its own in associating with students,” he explains. “Their successes become your own.’’ His own career is an ideal blend of research and teaching, both challenging and diverse, important considerations for a man whose curiosity keeps him looking one step beyond the present. He is not one to accept a statement or theory blindly; he prefers to work a theory himself if he has any doubt to its veracity. An example is his on-going interest in the theory that energy, namely hydrogen gas, can be produced from sunlight and water. The concept holds exciting potential: a clean-burning, regenerating fuel derived from an unlimited, inexpensive resource. “The assets weighed on my mind," he recalls, “and 1 had to see if I could do it.” It was a happy day when he saw hydrogen gas coming from a platinum cont. on pg. 14 WINTER 1981 9 *\ �HISTORICAL MEMORABILIA NEEDED A. Dream Fulfilled Alfred S. Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs at Wilkes, is compiling information to be included in a history of the first fifty years of the College. He is in need of additional memorabilia, and is requesting that Alumni who have prints, slides, or negatives of pictures depicting the history of Wilkes and who are willing to share those items to contact him. He promises to return any items in their original state once he uses them, if requested. The Alumni Office received a visit from Reese Pelton ’48 some time ago. Many of you recall that Reese was the Alumni operation here at the College and edited the Alumnus in its formative years. Reese brought with him extra copies of those early publications, and they have been shared with Al Groh. Al feels, however, that much more material is in the hands, or attics, or shoe boxes of many Alumni and that material could contribute substantially to the history he is developing. So, if any readers have such information and will share it with Al, send it to: Alfred S. Groh, Director of Cultural Affairs, Wilkes College, P.O. Box 111, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766. He will certainly appreciate it.

Duliba succeeds Dave Kaschak, Wilkes’ diamond head the past three seasons, who retired to take a sales position with the national sporting goods firm. Rawlings, Inc. Duliba is no stranger to Wilkes baseball.

President Robert S. Capin, in placing the cornerstone, said, “Education is a major industry in the Wyoming Valley and particularly in the City of WilkesBarre. Construction of this new residence hall is another endorsement offaith that Wilkes has in the city and in the community. ” The residence hall is scheduled for completion in August of 1982 and will enable the College to bring students who are currently housed in off-campus facilities back on to the main campus. The facility will also make it possible for the College to become more energy efficient while reducing maintenance costs. “We continue to witness a vibrant enrollment pattern,” said Capin. “For the past five years the College has maintained itsjulltime enrollment with the demand for residence hall living space rising each year.” President Capin joined Mr. William Conyngham, chairman of the Board of Trustees, in placing the cornerstone. 53 I " * sii Ifgg ■ ■■ t LI I.

Poor efficiency and a relatively high production cost are two serious drawbacks. “It’s a nice concept,” he says, “and I enjoyed doing it. But it’s not promising.” However, it cannot be said that the project at this point is pointless, for as Dr. Orehotsky explains, “What 1 wanted to do was try to improve the efficiency. That’s the name of the game in research; if there’s going to be a breakthrough, new materials must be evolved. I don’t expect this thing to take off, because there are natural limits to putting it into practice, but what I may be able to do by working this theory is find a whole new material to use as a catalyst, a novel compound that hasn’t been used before.” It’s another example of “being on the leading edge,” and also of the creativity that is so much a part of scientific research. It’s also characteristic of John Orehotsky. He gazes through the window of his office in Stark Learning Center and observes how the window itself can be the subject of future research. “Everyone knows what such a material is like in the crystalline state, but no one knows what new properties it may exhibit in the amorphous state; there’s a whole new field out there . . .” At this, he sits back, smiles and puts research into perspective as he asks, “Have you ever thought what it must have been like to be Planck (creater of the black body theory) or Einstein, whose work with the photoelectric effect enabled quantum mechanics to fall into place? Short of that kind of talent, we have to be creative in ourselves. In our own smaller way we experience the same joys ” O RALSTON cont. from pg.

Well, they did; they were everywhere — on the stairs, in hallways, on floors. I don’t remember what that particular protest was, but they had the habit of calling meetings in the parking lot behind Weckesser Hall. The Dean was advisor to the Student Life Committee on campus, and he spent a lot of time negotiating between the parking lot and Dr. Farley's office.” The community knows George Ralston as a spiritual leader, a consistent humanitarian, a "carer." He is a member and elder of the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre, a director of the YMCA, a director of the Wilkes-Barre Recreation Board, a board member of the Salvation Army, and a board member of the WilkesBarre General Hospital. Even these community groups with whom he chooses to be affiliated say much about his devotion to duty and his fellow man. In September, 1959, Dean Ralston addressed the freshman class. The last paragraph, perhaps, is a synopsis of the standards by which he has and will live. Now as I leave you to the whirl of frosh affairs — just one parting word. Remember, — to achieve requires discipline. This is a word we shy away from today, but in a very real sense discipline is synonymous with the individuality that guarantees liberty. In our tradition we must have a certain kind of discipline, self­ discipline. It is what Lord Moulton called "Obedience to the unenforceable." It is the principle of personal conduct — obeying the rules of conduct which no one can be compelled to obey. This sort of discipline sets the moral standard not only of individuals, but of nations. This is the law of cooperation not the competition of acquisitiveness. It is the practice of each contributor to the good of all. If you follow this advice you will learn that our liberal tradition puts the emphasis on duties — not rights. The rights will always follow the performance of duties. Remember this. The world of medicine has Its fair share of great doctors; we at Wilkes are glad we stole one away to be a great Dean. O ' " I coni. from pg- 9 A DReAM “th’that lifestyle.

FACTS-ALERT: The 1981 Tax Act makes sweeping changes affecting not only your post-tstax income, but how you handle investments, retirement funds and estate plans. Since tax brackets are higher in '81 than in '82 or 83, a cunent gift to Wilkes, or any charity, can save you more in taxes than the same donation made next year. (The higher a donor's tax bracket, the greater are the savings.) NUTSHELL: It is probably to your advantage to take as many charitably deductions as possible, now, and try to postpone income until next year when it may be taxed at a lower rate. ••• FACTS-ALERT: This is a good year to make a major deferred or planned gift (trusts, pooled income fund, property, life insurance, stocksbonds, etc.).

Poor efficiency and a relatively high production cost are two serious drawbacks. “It’s a nice concept,” he says, "and I enjoyed doing it. But it’s not promising." However, it cannot be said that the project at this point is pointless, for as Dr. Orehotsky explains, “What I wanted to do was try to improve the efficiency. That’s the name of the game in research; if there’s going to be a breakthrough, new materials must be evolved. I don’t expect this thing to take off, because there are natural limits to putting it into practice, but what I mav be able to do by working this theory is find a whole new material to use as a catalyst, a novel compound that hasn’t been used before." It’s another example of “being on the leading edge,” and also of the creativity that is so much a part of scientific research. It’s also characteristic of John Orehotsky. He gazes through the window of his office in Stark Learning Center and observes how the window itself can be the subject of future research. “Everyone knows what such a material is like in the crystalline state, but no one knows what new properties it may exhibit in the amorphous state; there’s a whole new field out there . . .” At this, he sits back, smiles and puts research into perspective as he asks, “Have you ever thought what it must have been like to be Planck (creater of the black body theory) or Einstein, whose work with the photoelectric effect enabled quantum mechanics to fall into place? Short of that kind of talent, we have to be creative in ourselves. In our own smaller way we experience the same joys.” 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY f°rtunaltnw an Engineer in Manager Tony. , ]-)eveiopment at RCA in Educa!‘d"c technology, and Doris knew °P!1C through all their high school :ach ± other^never dated until he was home each yearirS, bU.mas break from Anapolis and on Chr f ‘Sh™me from Philadelphia. “He she waswe went to a movie and that was called, /were married soon after.” it: we ' born approximately 45 minutes after the Doctorgave a lecture to 200 people D As the size of the family increased, so did the need for another helper who arrived in the person of Mrs. G After calling a local agency, Mrs. G (the only name we ever used for her) arrived on the scene.

"I got so involved in the needs of Wilkes College that somewhere I guess I decided to forget about becoming a doctor." In 1955 he took a leave of absence from Wilkes to attend Harvard and Columbia University to complete degree requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Degree. He completed requirements and came back to Wilkes-Barre to write his dissertation. Helen and George made other plans for the future while he was away at school, and when he returned in 1956, they were married by Reverend Jule Ayers. They recently celebrated their 25th ■.■'edding anniversary with their children David, John, Thomas, and James. As the veteran population on campus dropped off and younger students took their places, George Ralston served as the Dean of Men and Dean of Student Activities. He also hired a secretary named Peggy Jones in 1965. Peggy said, "I was nervous during that first interview, but I sensed that Dean Ralston was a compassionate man behind a firm exterior" and fifteen years later she knows she was right. "He is exhuberant, has a ready smile and a warm handshake for everyone," she said. Peggy was with the Dean through the changing scenes of student life on campus, through the student protests of the 60’s, and through “Operation Snapback” when Wilkes struggled to come back after the devastation of Hurricane Agnes and the flood of ’72. “He was always there,” she remembered. "The night before the flood I left him sitting at his desk and said ‘Good night, Dean, I'll probably have to swim to work tomorrow.' 'Tomorrow' was two or three weeks later when the water receded. After I looked at my own home, which was a disaster, I came over to Weckesser Hall, went up to the second floor, and there he was at his desk.

The event was held in the Wilkes College gym attracting approximately 1,000 people; the head table was composed of many personages including Dr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Farley, Admiral Harold R. Stark (then chairman of the Board of Trustees), Walter Carpenter, Chairman of duPont; and many other Trustees. It was a glorious event and a tremendous tribute to Dr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Farley, to whom I presented silver trays, appropriately engraved, in my capacity as the President of the Wilkes College Alumni Association. Joseph J. Savitz, Esq. '48 Kingston, Pa. Dear Editor: The photograph on page 5 of the Spring ALUMNUS magazine was taken in the Wilkes Gymnasium in 1961. The event was a testimonial dinner for Dr. Eugene S. Farley in recognition of his 25 years of service to the College. I specifically remember the new car he was presented with because he was given a model and the keys before the real thing. I was there and was all of ten years old! Lindsay (Farley) Gettinger ’73 Glastonbury, Ct.

I found the statement misleading, as it was always my understanding that our Junior College was founded to provide a 4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY sr Ms. Peggy Jones @@nn©@®©ihwffiifi,©n© i non-sectarian institution of higher learning iMley in addition to the two or three P existing Catholic colleges /King s, Misericordia, and St. Thomas, now Scranton University/. Also, very few, any, miners' children were in our College hen, as education was accessible to only those who were able to afford it. Primarily, students who went to Bucknell Jr. College represented the middle class and attende higher schools of learning on must rather than on need. This Junior College was founded on the principle of bridging the gap between high school and college and being easily accessible by private or public transportation. Personnel Profile Sincerely, Ilana Stemiuk Zubritzky McKees Rocks, Pa. END IN SIGHT Dear Editor: This June marks the tenth anniversary of my Wilkes graduation. The past ten years have been difficult but rewarding. I married my high school sweetheart and we spent the time earning degrees and accumulating debt! Now that Tom is the proud possessor of an M.S. in Political Science and Government (Scranton University) and a law degree (University of Dayton) and I've completed an M.Ed. in Special Education plus some post-graduate work in Curriculum and Supervision (Wright State University), the end of tuition bills is in sight. (Hallelujah!!). We're the delighted parents of one terrific five-year-old boy, Brendan. Brendan gives me cause to do a lot of thinking, both to the future and past. It is therefore most appropriate that my first alumna contribution comes at a time when the money is appropriated to scholarships. Y°u. remember me better as fudy Walsh. During my junior and senior year I ' "Can I help you?" If you have ever had the opportunity to visit with Dean Ralston or Dean Hoover (and most of us have!) prior to taking a chair in front of their desk you would be greeted by a warm and reassuring "Can I help you?” As in the past, those words continue to greet the many students who visit the Student Affairs Office on the second floor of Weckesser Hall and are spoken by Ms. Peggy Jones. Now in her fourteenth year at Wilkes, Peggy was hired by John Chwalek (currently Director of Community Relations at Wilkes) in the late sixties and has spent the last 14 in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. "When I first started in this office I worked as secretary to Dean Ralston," said Peggy in a quiet voice. ' 'When they added the position of Assistant Dean I became Dean Hoover's secretary also." Peggy remembers the late sixties and early seventies as exciting years at Wilkes. "Students always wanted change, and we were always trying to figure out what they wanted to change next so we could be one step ahead of them," she recalled. "Sometimes we were successful," she remembered. Today, Peggy remains a vibrant and vital part of the Student Affairs Office. She has also become a regular at Kirby Park where she jogs 12 laps around the track each morning before coming to work . . . that's a healthy 3 miles! Q Wilkes College admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin. THE WILKES CoLLEGE CONNECTION So hello - and best wishes on the campaign! FOR 24-HOUR INFORMATION ON WILKES COLLEGE EVEN<-> Judy Whelley Dayton, Ohio o 717-826-1135 NEW ENGINEERING PROGRAMS INTRODUCED FOR FALL The field of Engineering is constantly expanding to meet new needs in industry and societal areas. Dr. Umid Nejib, chairman of the Department of Engineering, in a continuous effort to meet these needs, has announced that his Department will incorporate into its curricula for Fall semester '82, two new programs leading to a B.S. degree in Engineering Management and a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering. According to the Engineers' Joint Council, approximately two-thirds of all engineering graduates will spend half their careers as supervisors and managers in technological enterprises. "The objective of the new program in management," Nejib said, "is to provide students to industry who can more adequately fill the needs in production and marketing than the traditional engineer." He also said, "For many years, the MBA was the only educational avenue open to those who aspired to management jobs, this will offer an alternative and still allow those who graduate from this program to complete the MBA in one additional year.” The program will supply a track for those who cannot find the satisfaction DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARDS Members of the faculty, staff and administration were honored recently for devoted service to Wilkes College. President Robert S. Capin presented distinguished service awards to those in the Wilkes Family who have been with the college for 20 years, ten years and to those who will be retiring in the near future.

NEW WILKES PROGRAM OPENS DOORS TO INTERNATIONAL JOB NLARKET If someone asked you the question Avez-Vous un MBA? would you be able to respond? How about Haben Sie ein MBA? or Tien L'sted a MBA? Anyone -who has a strong background in foreign language can tell you that the foreign words translate into “DO YOU HAVE? Those with a business background are familiar with an MBA which is an abbreviated version of a Masters of Business Administration degree. Together, the combination of foreign language and business can open new doors into the international job market The marriage of the two distinct fields of study creates a new dimension for students who are considering careers in either foreign languages or business. According to Dr. Thomas Katka chairman of the Department of Language and Literature. "Many ;der." are searching for -tiz^ to broader; the fields ir. which their foreign .ar. y.tge degree can be used.

The innovative program will begin in the Fall and open new doors for students into the international job market. German and a master of business administration degree all within a five-year period. As an example of how the new program will work, Kaska offered the following: "A high school student who is considering a foreign language major in French can choose Io take his or her elective courses in the area of business administration. Following four years of undergraduate work that student can '"roll, if eligible, in the graduate bucinc'/; program and receive mi ’h" follov/ing year," According I" Ka-.ka, "Th,. |;A jn French and the "i l/ir.in'-K will make lite titudent international business firm." Dr. Walter Karpinich. assistant professor of Foreign Languages says, "Businesses that are involved in the international marketplace are in need of competent graduates who can speak the language and understand the culture of foreign nations where trade is taking place. Graduates with this kind of background and expertise will be much more effective and valuable." "In many cases," adds Karpinich, "international companies have had to hire people from foreign countries to fill their personnel needs in their overseas operations. This innovative program will train our own people and give international corporations a pool of our citizens from which to choose." Gary Williams, Assistant Vice President of First Eastern Bank, N.A. of Wilkes-Barre and a 1972 graduate of Wilkes, says that he wishes that this option had been available to him when he was at the College. "As a result of my active involvement with First Eastern's foreign transactions I have been able to see first-hand how valuable the combination of knowledge of international business and a foreign language capability is today," says Williams. "The demand for students with degrees in business-related majors continues to be excellent. An MBA in combination with an undergraduate degree in a foreign language can result in a very marketable graduate. Multinational corporations, trading companies, government agencies and banks are only a few of the firms which will be actively recruiting personnel with these skills during the decade of the 80's." Williams is responsible for commercial lending at First Eastern and is Treasurer of the World Trade Club which is involved with local export promotion.

UPWARD & OUTWARD BOUND si'BXoTxrr- sPiri,a?da the hikers to a series of caves guide5 led the : q they were instructed on and the use.0'« r, The small group piled into the car on a cold morning last November and headed South on a trip which would take them to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. The foursome, consisting of three students and one counselor from the Upward Bound Program, were among the select few invited to participate in the popular “Project Apollo," an Outward Bound Program for Upward Bounders from across the nation. The students, Stephen Cheskiewicz, Anne Simonson and Marie Washinski. and counselor Jean Narcum were accepted to participate as part of a program initiated over 15 years ago to assist and encourage high school students to continue their education. The Wilkes program is under the directorship of Anne Graham and is located in Ross Hall. The outward bound experience was one that all four had been looking forward to since they had received the letter of acceptance. Participants were told they would be spending three nights and four days in the rough country in Virginia, testing themselves on survival skills and learning survival techniques. They were instructed to report to Front Royal, located in the foothills of the rugged mountain range, where they would meet other students and group leaders. They knew the whole concept of the program was geared toward teaching participants methods of stress management through group initiative and that it was going to be rough-going, but somehow, the general feeling was that they would be "camping out" so they were in high spirits when they reached their destination. According to Jean, "It wasn't long until vie stopped calling it camping out. The testing started almost immediately, we were pre-tested to find out just how much we knew about outdoor survival techniques, it was not a lot, she said smiling. The long weekend in retrospect, would prove to be many thing's but definitely not a holiday, and definitely not' a camping trip!

When we finally returned to camp we had to put up the tents and cook supper. It was close to 1:30 a.m. when we finally bedded down. It was also a cold 18 degrees in the Virginia mountains.” Early the next morning, they back-packed through the woods learning how to properly use a map and a compass. It was a very long hike but the country was "so really beautiful”, said Jean, "that it was enjoyable." The back packs were heavier oy the minute though, and the group looked forward to reaching the next campsite. At one point, they loaded all their gear into canoes to paddle down river for 7 miles to reach camp. On another occasion they, after having lune , debated whether to continue the hike immediately or rest and then hike through woods at night. The debate went on so long that the sun went down and the decisioni made for them, they hiked at night first w» no light and then finally, the moon came lanterns.

A funny thing happened, everyone was so concerned about the bats being injured that we forgot to be afraid of them.” Once settled in the cave, the guides told everyone to turn out the lights they carried. They did so. but very reluctantly. The silence and the dark were absolute, and according to Jean, "you kept reaching out to touch a sleeve or boot of someone next to you just to be sure you weren’t alone in that darkness.” There was no panic and no one seemed really frightened. "1 guess we were really starting to depend on, and to trust each other,” she stated. While they sat in the dark, the guides encouraged them to talk about themselves, their feelings and the program, and to promise to give it all they had for the time ?ne °fthe 9uides enthusiastically S ?ey hadn,t had One case nnn tnPhOb,a’ a common ef,ect °f “ving for theXrv 'enCed people- A smal1 voice from 1 anvo p"L answered that was because attempted nn' h.ey would have never mountain thate ° these was climbin9 a then Jp *7’85feet straight up and since 2wn’ "The climb was scarey from one stpn t d.'kn t know about footing onto anythin ° he next- You iust grabbed notch" said ioy°U c°uld and went OP another .raPPelinq wac ,!n’ Steve i°ined in to say the he l0P of the *orse' because you stand at r°Pe, and stpn nHUn!?in’ hooked together with and downward ' "^at step off, backward guy above vn,,’ based on Pure trust in the can!vou who is telling you ’sure you The SOrne’hing thaU dan" atti'ode was Was consistent throughout the Little Store.

Not only is there a lack of selection but a lack of true fit. It’s virtually impossible for us to find clothing — either it has the wrong proportions, swims on you or requires incredibly expensive alterations — and whenever we go into a store to buy sportswear they show us shirts with little rocking horses on them.” David Rothenberg, a member of the New York City Human Rights Commission, who is 5 feet 6Vz inches and a browser at the Cadet, agrees. weekend. "Every time you thought you couldn’t do something, the other members of the group were there, really caring about how you felt and encouraging you to do more than you thought you could.” Jean remembered. "And every time you accomplished something that was difficult, you just felt so good about yourself." The feelings of improved self-esteem are still there for the foursome, and each of them is positive the feelings will last.

The men'ssize merchandise ranges from blended suits starting at 34 short ($135 to $180) to size 6 leather dress shoes ($35), 26-inch belts ($3.50 and up) and a variety of sport shirts and pre-shrunk casual pants. Special orders are handled, alterations are free and the store’s buyer and sales help are all under 5 feet 6. Thoughtfulness and consideration seem to be as apparent at the Cadet as the deliberately lowered ceiling and not-too-high hi-tech shelves: felt cowboy hats ($25) have a narrower brim and lower crown; socks are smaller than the usual “one-size-fits-10-13” variety; even sunglasses ($5) are three-quarter size.

Harris Publishers 3 Barker Avenue White Plains, NY 10601 TRUSTEES Is Your Will Filed Under "Gardens?" By Betsy Bell Condron The bookstore manager was positive he had a copy of "An Estate Planner's Handbook" for the college development ~2 officer who asked for it. After a frustrating search, it was finally found shelved among books about gardening and the landscaping of estates! His young clerk wasn't informed about planned giving yet, but if you’ve been reading this column you'd never have made that mistake. Correct? You already know that estate planning includes even more than making your will . . . that it can create, conserve and use your money to gather a variety of benefits (including tax breaks), whether or not you’re in those upper tax brackets. The best thing about planning your estate is that, upon your death, your money'll go where you want it to go: to the right heirs and the right charitable institutions. And speaking of the "right" places for you to give your tax-free charity dollars, here is a concept of giving you may not have evaluated. Most of us tend to fritter away our contributions without thought to where they're going. There are SO MANY worthy requests from countless needy organizations that we find ourselves handing out cash at the door, responding to a dozen well-done mail pleas, unable to turn down a solicitor friend who helped us on our Iasi appeal, and answering a bevy of emotional but valid requests by telethons or in cur places of work. All of a sudden we realize our well-meaning philanthropy has to stop cold, for lack of further room in the budget, and we've not yet donated to a trio of cur high priority interests nor caught up with our church pledge! A better approach might be to work out some principles of giving that fit our own ideas about causes we want most to help. Perhaps money can be spent more effectively if we carefully consider the purposes and organizations best able to put it to our priority uses. For instance, you may have given $500 to 14 organizations last year (ranging from 50c in the drugstore canister to S100) and not counting religious support. Those gifts ran the gamut from a health group's building fund,-saving whales, a special college scholarship ... to African disaster relief. You knew a lot about the validity of your United Way gift and the college's financial r * — 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY integrity, but took it on faith that your other charity dollars would be used wisely with all possible good wrung from your philanthropy . . . as may have been true. But an alternative is to plan your charity giving, realizing that you are unable to support all worthwhile causes. You might wish to consider each prospective contribution on the basis of its impact on the community and cause you care most about. Such a focus of significant contributions could have more impact in meeting your special interest criteria than if you took the same amount and spread it thinly. This is exactly how it's done by the professional contributors, the corporations and foundations whose business it is to use their money most judiciously. It is also the method you follow when making your will (the basis of all estate planning), with its bequests given to a relatively few, carefully chosen, charitable organizations in which you have confidence and close ties. Such a will came across my desk last week. The deceased friend of Wilkes College had designated specific cash bequests (large and small) to several relatives, a friend, and two charities. In addition, a life income trust was set up to care for another relative, and the residue of that trust will come to Wilkes upon the beneficiary's death. This was not a complicated will, but it was well planned to include the donor's loved ones and the three worthy charitable institutions of closest association and documented need. Another Wilkes supporter who has befriended the College via a generous trust has recently notified us that "Wilkes, my pet project" is included in a variety of her estate plans. Your will should be a statement of your life. Bequests made by will can mean the difference between a strongly supported, viable college such as Wilkes or a foundering, poorly based institution. Higher education's professional fund-raisers tell us this source of income will be even more important in the years ahead than in the past. Especially since we realize that Bequests are a way for people to accomplish the goals for giving which they cannot carry out during their lifetimes because of an uncertain economy. Something else you know (that the bookstore clerk may not have considered), is that once you have an estate plan you must review it regularly. It is amazing that even small changes in your persona! or business life and in the tax laws or economy can affect your future planning in a big way. Wilkes College's upcoming 50th Anniversary may be a perfect time to review your will with intent to include this college as one of your "Pet Projects" ... one of the carefully chosen charitable groups you wish to remember and be remembered by. Various options for such a memorial, including the opportunity to have your family included in the new Residence Hall's Memorial Lobby, will be forthcoming in a future Quarterly. It was Francis Bacon who admonished us to "Defer not charities till death" ... and 1 who admonish you to put them in your will now (even as contingency beneficiaries).

In its continuing commitment to assist students in financing their Wilkes education, the College is now in the process of seeking support from alumni and friends and asking for your help in providing MINDPOWER to our students who will, in turn, provide MINDPOWER to Wyoming Valley, Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Nation. The Wilkes MINDPOWER theme is part of a national program developed by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) designed to recognize the contributions of higher education to American society. College personnel, community leaders, alumni and students are all taking active roles in making Campaign-’82 successful. Ms. Debbie Dunleavy, ’74, anchorwoman for WDAU-TV 22 in Scranton, was the guest speaker for the official campaign kickoff held in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. This year’s Campaign Leadership consists of: Robert S. Capin, presidentWilliam L. Conyngham, chairman of the board of trustees; Eugene Roth, chairman of the development committee; Mr. Roy E. Morgan, campaign chairman; Mr. Frear Scovell, campaign vice chairman; and Mr. Richard L. Bunn, ’55, chairman of the alumni appeal.

The President’s unveiled PROJECT: F.A.C.T. (Financial Aid Commitment Team) which views its joint purpose as a springboard to inform and advise all community constituencies about matters relating to financial aid to higher education. An analysis of the financial aid situation facing Wilkes students, as well as other financial aid-related articles can be found in this issue of The Quarterly. Local Presidents attending the press conference included (L.to R.) Dr. James Ryan, director, Penn State (Wilkes-Barre campus); Mr. Thomas Moran, president, Luzerne County Community College; Fr. James Lackenmier, president, King's College; Dr. Joseph Fink, president, College Misericordia; Wilkes President Robert S. Capin; and Dr. William David, director, Penn State (Hazleton campus). News on the dismissal of a Navy employee as a security risk. The articles led to the reinstatement of the employee and later became the basis for a movie called "Three Brave Men.” Lewis joined the Washington staff of The New York Times in 1955 where he was assigned to cover the events of the Supreme Court. His coverage of the nation's highest court won him his second Pulitzer Prize in 1963. Lewis is considered to be an expert on the constitutional rights and duties of the press and has written several books including “Gideon’s Trumpet,” about a landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court, and “Portrait of a Decade,” about changes in American race relations. Following his visit to Wilkes, Lewis returned to his home in Boston and prepared his next article for The Times. His topic was Wilkes College and how proposed cutbacks in financial aid will impact higher education. The article is reprinted, with permission from The New York Times, in this issue. The Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities was established in honor of Judge Max Rosenn by his former law clerks, family and friends to commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of Rosenn's appointment as Judge of the United States Court of Appeals, 3rd Circuit.

LOUIS NEUMAN Personnel Profiles Louis Neuman, known by the many athletes who have passed through Wilkes College as "Big Lou of Ralston Field” is in good health and continues to keep Wilkes' athletic fields in good shape. Lou is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University School of Turf and Grounds Maintenance and proudly says that he is now in his seventeenth year at Wilkes College. Throughout his career at Wilkes Lou has been involved in the preparation of fields for various events which include football, baseball, field hockey, tennis, cross country, soccer, golf and all the intramural sports fields. "One of the happiest memories I have of Ralston Field began at 4 a.m. one morning many years ago,” Lou recalled. "I went to the field to set up for national television coverage at the time when the Wilkes Colonels (football) had the longest winning streak in the nation. The morning was cold and I had to check all the riggings for safety and the cables for even tension. I really enjoyed the national exposure,” he said. As Lou continues his daily groundskeeping of the College athletic fields he remembers vividly all of those special times out of the past. “I have always enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, working with all the fine people associated with the sports programs here at the College. I sincerely wish all the graduates, present students, and all others who have become part of Wilkes College the best of health, success and happiness in the future. The memories and experiences are everlasting.” O THE WILKES CoLLEGE connection FOR 24-HOUR INFORMATION ON WILKES COLLEGE EVENTS- 717-826-1135 Work on the College’s 50th Anniversary Edition of the Alumni Directory is well under way. Soon all Alumni will receive a brief questionnaire with a follow-up request to be sent one month later. The prompt return of these questionnaires is essential so that the information in the Directory will be current and complete. The completed questionnaires as well as a list of all Alumni who do not respond to either mailing will be turned over to the publisher for telephone follow-up. Alumni will then be contacted directly by the Harris Publishing Company to verify information and to see whether you wish to purchase a Directory. Alumni with current addresses who have not responded to the questionnaires and are not reached by phone by the Harris representatives will appear in the Directory, but with the information of last record as shown in our Office files. The Directory will be of great value not only to us here on campus, but also to Alumni in the field who desire information on their classmates and friends; however, the accuracy of the published information depends on the timely response of all Alumni. Alumni will be listed alphabetically, geographically, and by class year. Each listing will contain name, class year, degree(s), residence address and phone number, and business or professional information when available. If you have not yet received your questionnaire or if you do not wish to be listed in the Directory, please notify the Alumni Office in writing. Remember, too, that the project will cost the College nothing — The Harris Company will compile, publish, and market the directory, financing the operation solely through the sale of individual Directory copies to Alumni only. Release of the 50th Anniversary Edition is scheduled for Fall 1982. HOMECOMING COMMITTEE 1981 AMNICOLA AVAILABLE The 1981 Amnicola (yearbook) is available to all interested alumni.

SPRING 1982 7 �, JIM FEDDIS'56 A POSITIVE FODCE Last July 16, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) initiated a nationwide campaign built around the central theme “America’s Energy is Mindpower.” The concept is that it is the energy produced by the development of mindpower which will solve the complex problems of the future and, according to CASE, must be a “legacy given to those who will need to be the problem solvers for whatever lies ahead.” Needless to say that Wilkes, long before the CASE campaign or theme was conceived, had traditionally held to this goal and what better way to accomplish it than through the education of those who will teach: who have the opportunity every day to influence not one mind, but hundreds, in elementary and high schools throughout the nation. Jim Ferris, principal in the Wyoming Valley West School District and a Wilkes grad with a B.S. in Education, is an excellent example of the success of those endeavors. For 26 years Jim has been a propagator of energy through mindpower; he is a teacher. Graduated from Wilkes in 1956, Jim’s career has taken him through every level of teaching — from classroom and coaching to counseling to administrator. Through all the years since 1956, he has maintained a close affiliation with Wilkes. “Yes, I have stayed close to Wilkes. Without the encouragement I received from people at Wilkes in the beginning, I seriously doubt that College would have been financially possible for me. I remember waiting outside George Ralston’s office thinking about just how I was going to handle financing four years of school, and how, by the time I left his office I felt convinced that it was all possible for me. George spent hours guiding me through the maze of information about grants and scholarships and jobs on campus. He remained my friend and counselor throughout my four years at school.” An outstanding athlete, he excelled in basketball, soccer, and baseball. “Jim had extremely good natural ability as an athlete,” Ralston remembered “and more important, he had the determination to give 100% of himself to any contest. He certainly lived up to the full measure of his potential, and he still does,” Ralston stated. 8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY by Jane Manganella Jim at work in i nis office at the High School in Plymouth.. Pa. Jim was hired by the Kingston School District in 1956 as a math teacher and basketball coach. At the same time, he served as head soccer coach for eight years at Wilkes. “It was busy," he said, smiling “but I enjoyed it.” When a student in high school, one of Jim’s classmates was Mary Ellen Ross, who was to become Mrs. James Ferris in December of 1958. After they were married, Jim returned to school to get his Master's degree in Education from Buckneil, which he earned in June of 1961. They had, in 1960, become the parents of a baby girl, Carol, and would have two more children, Marie, born in 1962, and James, born in 1967. During the summer of 1966, the schools formed a jointure which took schools from nine townships and incorporated them into one system. "They (school board officials) were meeting in Forty Fort realigning the new system, and I received a phone call from Dr. William Smodic, who was then superintendent of schools in the new Wyoming Valley West District. He asked me how I felt about moving into administration and I accepted the position of assistant principal.” Jim tnen went on k> become principal of grades The move to administration took him out of the classroom, but not away from the students. Les Nicholas, who teaches in the hiqh schooi and who is a Wilkes alumnus taL ? ’ .The students and faculty here have a lot of respect for Mr. Ferris. He is always on top of everything and is very accessible when there's a problem. He is supportive of both students and teachers." Had Jim always wanted to be a teacher? "When I went into Wilkes I may have toyed with the idea of engineering or one of the sciences but early on I decided that I wanted to teach.” The years have seemed rewarding for him in his chosen field though there have been difficult times. In 1972 Hurricane Agnes put most of his world under water. “My My home and my school were both flooded,” he said “and when we finally got back to class in late fall of ’72, we had double sessions Our classes started at 7:20 a.m. and continued until 5:30 p.m. because we lost schools and had to accommodate all students. Adjustments, for some, were difficult, but we did come back even stronger ’ I think, than before." When asked the inevitable question — How do you compare students today with those of prior years, he said, “Students are much the same now, today a bit more aware and sophisticated because of TV, but basically really good. We have many serious students; you unlock something in his or her mind and they really take off. That’s the gratifying part." Art Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and a long-time friend of Jim’s who was a year ahead of him at Wilkes, said, “I don’t think anything defeats Jim for very long. I watched him as a student athlete who, many times, had performed under intense pressure and he always excelled. During the years I served as Director of Alumni Relations, he never once said no to anything the Alumni Association asked of him. He has held office at the local and national association level and has always been a positive force for Wilkes College.” As a person, a student, an athlete, an alumnus, and, most important, a teacher, Jim Ferris has made a significant contribution to the generating of energy through mindpower. He contributes still to the “legacy" for those who choose to lead through teaching.

Best wishes, folks. Why aren't there more class notes in this issue? Simply put, it's all we had. The volume of update cards has fallen off dramatically in the past six months, and we are back to hun­ ting for information to include about alumni. You can help by sending in an update card if you have not done so during the past year, or if you have news to share with the alumni body. Your classmates and friends look for­ ward to reading about you, just as you enjoy reading about them. So take a minute and send us an update card — we'll even pay the postage just to hear from you — the cards are Business Reply cards, and need no stamp. You will also notice the statement "Ad­ dress Correction Requested" on the mailing face of the Quarterly and on some of the other mail you receive from the office. This is an instruction to the Postal Service to report back to us changes of address of the reci­ pient. The post office does a good job, too, because each time we mail an issue, we receive as many as 250 address changes from the Service. While we appreciate these new addresses, we must pay 25 cents for each one — which costs us over $1,000 a year in additional postage expenses. By making you aware of these costs, we hope you will take the initiative and tell us about impending changes of address with sufficient lead-time so that we can change our records before a new mailing is sent to your old address. Just jot the information down, giving us your name, new address, and effective date of the change, and you can help us stop spending so lost alumni. much money on tracing ‘ ’’ Please — help!!

If you were one of the many alumni, notified by postal, who saw the capsule, no doubt it brought you a certain nostalgia of undergraduate days. From others who never heard of Wilkes College before the show was aired, it brought congratulatory messages. So much for the tremendous impact the effort commanded. The filmed segment of "Today" consumed just two working days for the NBC production crew who arrived on the campus the week before the telecast. Heading the vanguard the previous Wednesday was Paul Cunningham, "Today's" crack roving reporter. Met at the WilkesBarre/Scranton Airport by John Whitby and John Chwalek, both of whom were directly responsible for NBC's interest in the college, Mr. Cunningham began script preparation for the program which was to be aired the following week. Meeting with Dr. Farley and members of the Administration 'and later with the heads of various departments, the announcer-producer mapped out his production schedule for the following day. Bright and early the NBC camera crew arrived Thursday and the campus of the College resembled somewhat the West Coast's Television November 8, no description is necessary; for those of you who did not, no description is possible . . . Here was a College that was unique, and because of its uniqueness, it was selected by "Today" from hundreds of other independent colleges to call the Nation's attention to the importance of higher education to community growth and progress. And its impact upon the viewers was great. From Maine, California, Florida, Arizona, and other states of the Union, letters came to the College. All of them praised the program; some requested information about the College. Certainly, no one can deny that Wilkes College won thousands of friends. Only with the passage of time will one be able to determine how many alumni were added because of "Today."

RESEARCH PROGRAM FOR WILKES LABS A Wilkes-Barre physician's zeal for research has enabled the College to establish a program of medical research within its biology department. The physician is Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, who has been authorized by the U.S. Public Health Service to use Wilkes facilities for carrying on the research he began as an immunologist in the Gibson Laboratories of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Having received two substantial grants from the National Heart Institute and the National Microbiological Institute, subdivisions of the Public Health Service, Dr. Cohen is continuing his investigation of the role of infection, allergy, and immunity in rheumatic fever and tuberculosis. A fellow of the American College of Allergists the college laboratories. WILKES TO TRAIN HEAD NURSES AND INSTRUCTORS As some 16 student nurses from Wyoming Valley Hospital complete their pre-clinical period of training at Wilkes under an arrangement that may be extended to include other hospitals in the area, word comes from the President's office that Miss Ruth Jessee of Presbyterian Hospital, Philadelphia, will head the recently approved twoyear course leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing education. She will undertake her duties here in September, 1952. The new program in nursing education is intended to supply hospitals and schools of nursing with instructors, head nurses, and supervisors. Any state-registered nurse graduated from an approved school of nursing may become a candidate for the degree. Such a student may receive a maximum of 60 credits for work done in the school of nursing but must earn at the College at least 60 of the 120 credits required for the degree. 1972 S300.000 ALUMNI CHALLENGE FACING ALUMNI Letters have been mailed to some 8,000 Wilkes College Alumni appealing for funds to meet the goal of the Alumni Challenge - $300,000 from 3,000 alumni by June 30, 1973. The letter was sent by Robert H. Melson, chairman of the 1972 Wilkes College Alumni Fund and vice president of the administration, Carpenter Technology Corporation. Melson stated in part: "Over the years, at one time or another, all of us have been especially proud of our association with Wilkes College. Whether it was a particular event or the combination of many forces and events which have influenced the continued growth and reputation of Wilkes, we as alumni hold a stake in all that is Wilkes. And now, more than ever before, we must give active tangible support to sustain our stake in Wilkes." Melson called attention to the matching gift programs in which many organizations participate. Employees affiliated with a Matching Gift Company may have their gifts to Wilkes matched in whole or part by the organization. Alumni were also invited to join the Gene Farley Club, membership of which is open to all alumni who contribute a minimum of $100 a year to the Alumni Fund. separate occasions, the "Catawissa Flash" as he was affectionately called, broke the game century yard barrier.

O ALUMNUS 5 �EDUCATION I See It {Bob Barral! was bom and reared in Pennsylvania, and earned the AB in History in 1953 at Wilkes. He taught history and English at Moorestown High School in New Jersey for some twenty years, twelve of those years in a wheelchair following the onset of multiple sclerosis and other handicaps. The essays included in AS I SEE IT were written while Bob was a resident-patient at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, California for the building newspaper there.} AS I SEE IT, harvest time is a good time to reap the rewards for cultivating our own gardens and a good time to prepare the soil for new crops. It is altogether fitting that people, young and old, return to their studies to prepare the intellectual soil for a new crop of enlightened souls. This is the time the leaves begin to turn on the trees and in the notebooks. If we watch during the coming year what we plant in our minds day by day, next autumn we will reap a harvest of greater happiness and more worthy lives. As I see it, education is the whole purpose of life. True, education deals with what many people call facts. Facts, to be sure, are interesting things. By themselves, however, facts are always dependent on many other things, such as application, relevancy, appropriateness, timeliness, interpretation, context, and other facts. Education is always more than facts. Education deals with the meaning of facts. It may be, as suggested long ago by a sage, that the only real fact is that true education is what is left after all the facts are forgotten. We are here to learn more than mere facts; we are here to learn the meaning, relationship, and efficient, worthy use of the facts in our lives. Education, clearly defined - and purely refined by living - builds character. Anyone can be a character, but having character is better. We must 6 ALUMNUS make the most and the best of what we are and what we have. The difference between success and failure is often determined not so much by what happens to us but by what we let it do to us, or for us. We have the incredible godlike power to make the right things happen! This is our birthright and our privilege. This is character, This is education in action. I was amused some years ago when I read somewhere that the value of a liberal education is that it teaches us to hate the wealth it keeps us from earning. In reflection, many years later, I would say that he who hates wealth is a crazy, mixed-up cowboy who has never left the ranch. That kind of thinking comes from shallow minds with an "education" that is neither liberal nor educational. Wealth by itself is neither good nor bad. Wrong use of wealth leads to destruction. Right use of wealth leads to greater happiness, greater power to serve, and greater fulfillment. It beats poverty by a mile, for my money. Similarly, wrong use of education leads to disaster. Right use of education opens windows in our minds and opportunities in our lives. I was also amused some years ago when I read a sign, in an examination room, that read something like this: "When you were bom, you were given two ends, one to think with and one to sit on. What happens to you in life depends on which end you use. Heads, you win. Tails, you lose." There is some truth to this statement, but I do wish more people would learn to use their hearts as well as their heads. Maybe such things as war and poverty would only be history lessons about man's past stupidity. Isn't it amazing that such conditions still persist in a world that turns out more geniuses with more university degrees than ever before? Obviously, we are developing the mind and neglecting the soul. Obviously, too, developing the mind and not the soul is NOT education. It is personal and social suicide. Many people in our society seek education for the wrong reasons or for reasons that are too limited to lead to personal fulfillment. Some seek better jobs, less work, more pay, power over others, more idle time, public acclaim, private fortunes, etc. Some find a sense of security in education without ever finding it in their own souls. There really is only one good reason to become educated - to become better human beings living better lives in perfect harmony with God, our fellow man, and ourselves. Anything less than that, anything other than that, is rubbish. The master teacher Jesus told it right, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you." Socrates said, "Know thyself." Saint Augustine suggested we find ourselves - because when we truly find ourselves, we shall have found God. Unless we find ourselves doing the most of the best we can do for everyone we meet, we can hardly call ourselves "educated." "Better jobs" and "more money" are probably the biggest motivators toward more education. Would that we would be seeking "better lives" and "more soul.” Education helps, but one does not need formal education to get a good job or to get rich. To get money and position, one needs native intelligence, desire, energy, ambition, aggressiveness, a good idea, the right breaks, and persistence. The records are full of success stories of poor kids without much formal education who became rich, famous, and powerful. If we don’t have the other qualities, we won’t ’’make it” no matter how much formal education we have. But when we add soul to those other qualities, we have an indomitable combination for greatness — with or without formal education. I believe in education, both formal and informal. There is no substitute for the fellow who knows his job. The old tale “It’s not what you know, but who you know" is pure hogwash. Knowing the right people might get a fellow a job, but if he doesn't know the right things, chances are he won't keep the job long. There is no substitute for knowing the right things and being the right kind of person. If a person knows the right things, the right people will get to know him if he circulates enough. Everyone is looking for productive people! By the same token, inheriting wealth or having a rich uncle gives some advantages, but if a person does not have the qualities of a good human being, chances are that he won't keep the wealth or the advantages long. Formal education, often used as a means to acquire wealth and comfort, should be a means to live a better, richer, fuller, more worthy life. Most people learn more and do better things with their lives by having had a formal education than they would learn or do without the education. However, degrees don't guarantee anyone happiness or success. Nor do they necessarily bring wisdom or wealth. All real education is self-education. It is self­ enlightenment. It is something that happens differently within each man’s soul and brain. It is understanding something personally in a way that was never before known to him. While education is never facts, books, or courses, it is often a reaction to facts, books, or courses. More often, it is a reaction to an idea, a teacher, another human being, or to life itself. Education is never regurgitation. It is increased awareness. It is revelation. We don't give or provide our children an education. We simply create more and better situations where education takes place productively. We speed and expand the process of learning. Life and mind are the educators. We merely release the educators held captive within ourselves. Perhaps education is what happens to us when we are rubbed the wrong way, rubbed the right way, and then notice and apply the difference wisely to life situations. Perhaps education is learning to "accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative," as the wise old songwriter says. Perhaps education is learning to live together peacefully, profitably, happily, willingly, and effectively. Perhaps education is learning to truly love one another. So be it! — Robert J.

Former Franklin College assistant grid coach Bill Unsworth was named as the new head football mentor at Wilkes in February succeeding Rollie Schmidt who resigned after 20 seasons at the helm of the blue and gold. Unsworth, who was the offensive line coach at the Indiana school for the past five years, will bring his “Run and Shoot” offense to the Wilkes campus. This offense had its quarterbacks ranked among the nation’s “Top 10" in the NAIA in 16 of the past 18 seasons. This past season, the "Run and Shoot,” which features only one back and four receivers, was rated No. 1 in the NCAA Division II. Unsworth was head football scout for Franklin from 1972-77 before becoming a defensive assistant in 1977. In 1978 he became a full-time assistant in charge of the offensive line. In addition to his ootball coaching duties at Franklin, he a so served the school as head trainer, ead wrestling coach and assistant professor of physical education. , .", - in 310 iW'HIIWMii “We’re happy to be able to acquire a talent like Bill,” said Wilkes president Robert S. Capin. “He has the experience we had been looking for and the personality to deal with our football team. We hope that his background and technical skills will lead to a very successful football program.” During Unsworth’s five years at Franklin, the football team was conference champions in 1977, 1980 and 1981; runner-up in 1979; ranked No. 12 in the NCAA II in 1980 and 1981; No. 1 in the NCAA II pass offense in 1981; No. 2 in pass offense in 1980; No. 6 in NCAA II in scoring in 1981 and No. 3 in the NAIA in scoring in 1977. Recruiting is one of the strong points for the 32-year old Unsworth. In his first year (1977), Franklin had 86 recruits visit the campus, but this past year, he helped raise that number to 230. Another number Unsworth will be looking to raise this season will be wins for Wilkes. The Colonels are coming off their worst year ever, an 0-9 mark during the 1981 grid campaign. o 1982 Spring Sports Schedule MEN’S TENNIS — Tom Rokita, coach March 1:00 27 Juniata H H 3:00 31 Ursinus April A 2:00 Elizabethtown 3 H 3:00 6 Scranton A 2:30 8 Susquehanna A 3:00 14 Lycoming H 3:00 16 King's 3:00 20 Scranton A H 24 Albright 1:00 27 King’s A 3:00 A 28 Muhlenberg 3:00 GOLF — Rollie Schmidt, coach March 31 Ursinus/Lycoming Urs.

The word for the next few days is financial aid. The word for the future is financial aid. If you are currently a college student, or a parent of a college-bound student, or a parent with visions of sending your son or daughter to college someday, then yes, indeed, your word for the day should be financial aid. On February 8 the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, sent to Congress a proposed budget which, if fully accepted, would cut federal aid available on campuses by 50 percent for the academic year beginning September 1983. The budget cuts would eliminate over 2.3 million awards to needy students and impose restrictions on the Guaranteed Student Loan program, which would deprive some 600,000 graduate students of the principal means of financing their education. Wilkes College, like virtually every other institution of higher learning across the country, is concerned and is taking action. At a recent press conference at Wilkes, College officials unveiled PROJECT: F.A.C.T. (Financial Aid Commitment Team) which is a joint effort by Wilkes, College Misericordia, King's College, The Pennsylvania State University (Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton Campuses), and Luzerne County Community College to inform and advise all college and community constituencies of the facts and figures which relate to President Reagan's proposed cutbacks. The intent is to put into clear and concise terms the impact this decision will have on students, colleges and the communities they serve. The series of articles which follows is designed to help you better understand what has transpired thus far in the continuing financial aid story. The articles will also provide background information to those concerned enough to write their Congressman and senators in an effort to gain support for the survival of higher education into the future. 8 ALUMNUS A HISTORY OF FEDERAL SUPPORT TO EDUCATION SOURCE: American Council on Education January 22, 1982 Federal support for education programs has been long-term and bipartisan. When Congress enacted the National Defense Education Act in 1958 — at President Dwight Eisenhower's request — it said: . . the security of the nation requires the fullest development of the mental resources and technical skills of its young men and women . . . We must increase our efforts to identify and educate more of the talent of this nation. This requires programs that will give assurance that no student of ability will be denied an opportunity for higher education because of financial need. . . ." President Lyndon Johnson, a former teacher, in a 1965 education message said: "Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take. We want this not only for his sake, but for the nation's sake. Nothing matters more to the future of our country: not our military preparedness — for armed might is worthless if we lack the brainpower to build a world of peace; not our productive economy — for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government — for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant." President Richard Nixon in 1970 declared: "No qualified student who wants to go to college should be barred by lack of money. That has long been a great American goal; I propose that we achieve it now ..." The resulting legislation set up the Basic Education Opportunity or Pell Grant program. President Jimmy Carter said in 1980: Through the Middle Income Student Assistance Act we've brought college within the reach of every student in this nation who's qualified for higher education. The idea that lack of money should be no barrier to a college education is no longer a dream, it's a reality. ..." This commitment is being challenged by the Reagan administration. Federal budget chief David Stockman has told the House Budget Committee: "I do not accept the notion that the federal government has an obligation to fund generous grants to anybody who wants to go to college. It seems to me that if people want to go to college bad enough, then there is opportunity and responsibility on their part to finance their way through the best they can." A REVIEW OF PRESIDENT REAGAN'S PROPOSED CUTBACKS SOURCE: Editorial Projects in Education February 11, 1982 Pell Grants would be cut from $2.28 billion to $2.19 billion in the current fiscal year, then reduced by 36 percent to $1.4 billion in fiscal 1983. That is $1.4 billion below the program ceiling provided in the Reconciliation Act of last summer. The changes, if accepted by Congress, would remove nearly one million students from eligibility — almost onethird of current recipients, highereducation organizations estimate. In addition, the maximum Pell Grant award of $1,800 provided for under the current law would be cut to $1,600 next year by increasing the percentage of income that students and their families are expected to contribute to college costs. ► Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. The SEOG awards, which currently serve about 615,000 students attending higher-priced institutions, public and private, would be eliminated. ► National Direct Student Loans. This program, in which new federal capital provides loans to 266,000 students, would be eliminated. ► State Student Incentive Grants. This assistance program, which matches state aid with federal money for more than 300,000 students, would be eliminated as well. ► College Work-Study Program. If this program is reduced by the proposed 25 percent, nearly 240,000 students would be forced out of this supplementary way of earning money for school. ► Graduate Fellowship Program. The Administration will seek to phase out this program, established under Title IX of the Higher Education Act and currently providing more than 1,200 fellowships to minorities and women. t> Guaranteed Student Loans. President Reagan's budget proposal would deny eligibility to graduate and professional students, who make up 15-20 percent of all borrowers. Nationwide, about 600,000 graduate students — roughly half of those enrolled — are currently borrowing under the program, many of them close to the annual limit of $5,000. Graduate students would be eligible for Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students, which carry a 14-percent interest rate instead of the GSL's 9-percent rate. In addition, the GSL origination fee would be doubled from 5 percent to 10 percent. A student who needed a $2,000 loan would have to borrow $2,200. A $30,000 income-eligibility cap would be replaced by limiting eligibility to “unmet need"— that is, cost minus family contribution to other aid. Additional Cuts. The Administration will seek an additional $142 million in student-aid cuts for the current fiscal year. Cumulatively, the changes would represent a loss of over 2.4 million awards, which could force hundreds of thousands of students to drop out of college or change their educational plans, financial-aid experts are predicting. Overall, President Reagan proposed tk*sPending for programs now in he Department of Education to $10 i hon in fiscal 1983 — about 25 percent ess than the $13 billion provided by L-ongress for fiscal 1982. If Congress approves the Administration's plan to ransfer some of the department's Programs to other federal agencies, the udget for a stripped-down education oundation would total only $8.8 billion. THE IMPACT AT HOME: WHAT THE CUTBACKS WILL MEAN AT WILKES SOURCE: Mrs. Rachael Lohman Director of Financial Aid Wilkes College February 17, 1982 The proposed reductions in financial aid for fiscal years 1982-83 and 1983-84 will adversely impact on a number of students at Wilkes College as it will on students at colleges throughout the country. Most students will realize a reduction in one or more components of their financial aid packages. Some students may have to postpone going to college, or try to attend part-time. Proposed recessions for the 1982-83 academic year include a substantial reduction in Pell Grants (Basic Grant), National Direct Student Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, and College Work-Study programs. The Reagan administration also plans additional restrictions on the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. For the 1983-84 academic year, the budget proposal calls for the elimination of the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and the State Student Incentive Grants programs, further cuts in the Pell Grant and College Work-Study programs, and no new funding for the National Direct Student Loan program. During the current academic year 1,103 Wilkes students have received Pell Grants amounting to $1,070,000. If the proposed cuts to this program are passed by Congress, over 300 of these students may lose this aid. The total dollar amount of lost Pell Grants would be in excess of $300,000. An additional $120,000 would be lost in Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and College Work-Study funds allowing for approximately 75 fewer awards of Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and 145 fewer awards of College Work-Study. For the 1983-84 academic year, Wilkes College would suffer a loss of $650,000. Expressed by programs, our students will receive 440 fewer Pell Grants, 222 fewer Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant awards and 128 fewer College Work-Study awards than in the current academic year. Of perhaps even greater significance are the increased restrictions on the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Prior to October 1981, graduate and undergraduate students were able to borrow under this program without regard to need. This year, Wilkes processed over 1300 loans totaling in excess of $3,000,000. Approximately Vs of our graduate students use funds from the Guaranteed Student Loan program to help finance their education. For many of these students, it is the only aid available. The proposed changes to this program would eliminate graduate student eligibility entirely. Another 250-300 Wilkes students may be eliminated from the Guaranteed Student Loan program if the need analysis is extended to all applicants. Currently, a needs analysis is only required for those applicants whose family income is in excess of $30,000. These proposed reductions and restrictions in federal student assistance programs may deny many students the opportunity of equal access to higher education. Certainly, they will have a serious effect on Wilkes College and the students. ANOTHER VIEW: DEPLETING OUR CAPITAL By: Anthony Lewis Editor's Note: Mr. Anthony Lewis is a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for The New York Times. He was at Wilkes College on February 9 to deliver the inaugural lecture for the Wilkes College Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and Humanities and, upon his return to Boston, wrote this article which appeared in The New York Times on February 10, 1982. © 1982 by The New York Times Company. Reprinted with permission. WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Feb. 10 — It did not generate big headlines at first, but around the country one idea in President Reagan's budget is arousing a new kind of concern and resistance. That is the proposal to cut back drastically — in many cases to eliminate — federally insured loans and other help for college and graduate school students. The impact of the Reagan proposal would be serious at the big universities. It would be devastating at the thousands of smaller private colleges that play such an important role in American education. There is an example here in the old industrial-mining area of northeast Pennsylvania that tells the story. Wilkes College is a nondenominational college that occupies some wonderful old Victorian mansions and good modern buildings in Wilkes-Barre. It has 2,100 full-time students, who pay $4,200 a year for tuition and $2,100 more for board and room if they live in a dormitory. More than 1,100 of those students now have federally insured loans. "Many of them could not come without the Federal loans," says Robert S. Capin, president of the college. "They would postpone college, or try to come part-time. But part-time jobs are scarce nowadays — that's another problem." The college has balanced its budget for years, but a big drop in the student body would sharply change the picture. Capin said it would be hard to cope with "the ALUMNUS 9 �loss of even 100 students — and that’s a modest estimate of what could happen." President Reagan's Secretary of Education T. H. Bell, defended the budget proposal by saying the Federal Government could no longer afford posh student aid." But no one looking at the facts here on the ground could believe that either the present loans or their recipients are "posh." Wilkes was founded in 1933, as a junior college, in part to educate the families of miners. It became a regular four-year school in 1947. The students now come not only from this area but from New Jersey and New York. And 75 percent of them get financial aid, through Federal or Pennsylvania programs or modest amounts the college has available for scholarships. Last year President Reagan proposed, and Congress passed, legislation to limit the Federal loan program to students who really need the help. That was a wise change. The previous system, where someone from the wealthiest family could get a loan and have Washington pay the interest while he was in college, could not be justified either economically or morally. But this year's budget proposals are very different, removing various kinds of support from students who are not able to pay their own way. The budget would eliminate 625 000 loans for graduate students and several hundred thousand — no definite figure is available — for undergraduates. It would also make drastic reductions in other Federal aid for higher education. eliminating as many as 2.4 million awards to needy students. Many colleges and universities, small and large are criticizing the Reagan proposals. This is one issue on which students and administrators, faculty and parents are likely to agree. The resistance could become politically significant. Of course there is an element of selfishness in the criticism whether from the colleges or the families that may be affected. But over the last 25 years Federal student loans and other aid programs for higher education have become important to American society, and there is no visible way for states or private institutions to replace them. The aid is especially important in one respect that might have been expected to appeal to the Reagan philosophy: in increasing social mobility. Education is a crucial way for individuals to escape from a background of poverty. Federal loans now enable a young man or woman without family resources to become a professional — a lawyer a teacher. It is the modern task, in cur mass society, to realize the American dream. Smashing the graduate schools seems a particular folly in that light. And many of them would be smashed if the 1981 benefactors The following listing identifies those alumni who pledged or contributed to the College in 1981. We recognize wM pride these individuals who, through their generosity, have assisted us in better meeting the needs of our students. Such alumni participation is vital in encouraging friends, businesses, corporations, and foundations to also support Wilkes College, and we thank you for your help. theg^HEw^ 1935 Charles N.

Although still modest, his office has been rehabilitated — new carpet, new draperies, and a new spirit. Rehabilitation is nothing new to Dr. Stanley Irzinski. Immediately following his graduation from Wilkes in 1961, he applied his A.B. degree in Psychology to the fulfillment of human needs. Not his own needs, but those of others who need it the most — the handicapped. “It was the encouragement of Dr. Bob Morris that led me to a graduate program at The Pennsylvania State University following graduation,” offered Stan. Dr. Morris, who passed away last year, was active at Wilkes, serving as Assistant to President Eugene Farley (1959-62). “Bob had a good handle on what was going on in the field of graduate education for psychology majors," recalled Stan. “He asked me if I knew about the M.Ed. program in Rehabilitation Counseling at Penn State. The question alone gave me enough incentive to check out the program." In 1963, Stan received his M.Ed. degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the Pennsylvania State University and, in the process, found out some enlightening facts about his Wilkes education. I had not realized how wellprepared I was on the undergraduate level until I started having classes with other students on the graduate level. Some of them had to take refresher courses while others had difficulty with some of the expected requirements. They attributed their difficulties to handle the work to their undergraduate preparation.

Following a two-year stay at the GOCI, the Wilkes-Barre native spent year as Vocational Director with the Poughkeepsie, New York, based St. Francis Rehabilitation Center. The Poughkeepsie Center was medically oriented and was involved in the design of a comprehensive state-wide plan for the rehabilitation of adolescent offenders. In 1966 he returned to Penn State and, in 1967, was awarded the Ed.D. degree in Counselor Education. His thesis dealt with Factors Related to Counselor Turnover in a State Rehabilitation Agency. “I never did figure out how Dr. Farley got the First Lady here.. In 1967 Stan accepted a position as Director of Rehabilitation at the Elwyn Institute in Elwyn, Pennsylvania. He served the Elwyn Institute, although at different locations, for the next fourteen years. Because of his successes at the Pennsylvania Center, he was transferred to the Elwyn Institute in Delaware in 1974 to run that branch and, in 1981, he helped provide leadership of Elwyn’s Philadelphia­ based institute. On January 4, 1982, Stanley Irzinski returned home to Wilkes-Barre to become Administrator of United Rehabilitation Services, Inc. (URS), a rehabilitation center for the handicapped. “Although I have been away from the area for nearly 20 years I never lost contact with my friends and family," said the amiable administrator. “I would always return to the Valley four or five times each year to visit and keep abreast of what was going on in my old stomping grounds.” One thing that was going on was the incorporation of URS in a merger between the Wyoming Valley Workshop (founded in 1958 by LUZARC) and the Industrial Department of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind. “This merger was the answer to the community’s request for one vocational training agency to serve all handicaps,” said Stan. “Throughout the years which followed the merger, I became very familiar and friendly with URS personnel, especially administrator Walter George. I would step in and talk with Walter at-length about the URS facility. I have deep respect for Walter and the program," he said. Providing services on a daily basis to well over 300 people (including URS branch facilities in Hazleton and Tunkhannock), the rehabilitation program is. in the words of Stan Irzinski, “unique to this area.” As a community resource for handicapped adults, URS works in conjunction with United Way and other community resources to enable disabled adults to function to the best of their ability in the community. Disability groupings include mental retardation, mental illness, blindness, other physical handicaps, social handicaps, and aging. Reading the descriptive nature of what URS does in an article such as this cannot do justice to what URS, and Stan Irzinski, are all about. con? or pg 70 SPRING 1982 9 �Simply stated, they're about people. And, in order to get the impact of the nature of their service, one need only walk through the facility which bustles with handicapped workers dong the best they can to contribute to the Free Enterprise System. Let us not be fooled. When I say they do 'the best they can’ that in no way implies inferior work. It implies conscientious effort, hard work, dependency upon one another and dedication.

Why do companies like Proctor and Gamble use the services of the URS personnel? Like other service-oriented companies, URS workers must bid on jobs they want and when they submit a low bid they receive the contract. What the workers don’t receive is John Reese Honored On February 13, friends and family of Wilkes wrestling coach John Reese gathered to honor the veteran mentor at the Wilkes-Lycoming wrestling meet. The day had been proclaimed by the College as “John Reese Day" in recognition of Reese’s success with the Colonel wrestling program. Earlier in the season he had copped his 300th career coaching win making him one of the few NCAA coaches to do so. This season he guided the Wilkes grapplers to their 27th straight winning season and a 19-4 overall record tying the school mark for most wins. On “John Reese Day”, his matmen handed Reese a 40-2 victory over the Warriors of Lycoming. Half-way through the bout, the meet was stopped for a short program. Reese received many gifts from College family members and friends of the College. In photo A, Reese receives a plaque/clock presented by the national alumn'r organization.

WILKES COLLEGE “HOME” FOR NEW JERSEY CO-ED by Jane Manganella Students recently enjoyed Spring Break with family and friends, and then reluctantly packed their bags to return to college campuses. Mary Ann Elefther, a freshman nursing major at Wilkes, was among them. But this time, she was smiling, something she was not doing last August, when she arrived on campus to begin her college career. “At one point, the night before we left for Wilkes-Barre, my mother and my best friend, Sophie, were helping me pack,” Mary Ann remembered, “and the thought that this would be the last night I’d spend in my own room, that tomorrow I would be in a strange city, in a new college and would not really know anyone really got through to me. I sat down on the bed and said, 'I've changed my mind, I’m not going.”’ She added, “It took a lot of talking on both their parts to start me packing again." Mary Ann looked forward, through all her high school years, to the time when she could go away to school, until suddenly the time was here and was in tears.” The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eleftherious Elefther, naramus, N.J., Mary Ann was raised in an environment of extraordinary close family ties. “My aunts, uncles, cousins from both sides of the family e very close by and we spend all , lme together. My father’s two Sp ers ar|d tbeir families (the anides and the Markopoulos) and rlpi>rnom's brother and his family (the di nades) al1 Hvs within walking ’ance and It really is like one Undoubtly, this kind of close family is terribly hard to leave, but the time had arrived and Mary Ann, her mother and best friend and cousin, Sophie, left for Wilkes-Barre. They arrived on campus with no improvement in Mary Ann's mood or outlook. She moved into Barre Hall and introduced herself to her roommate Patti Elek. “My mother, Sophie and I toured campus and talked a lot about a family wedding we were all going to attend in Ohio the following weekend and the whole time I kept thinking that I’d stay at Wilkes for just the week, go to the wedding, and then go straight back to Paramus forever. That really was my plan, in just a week I could go back home.” That was the thought she hung onto when she said goodbye to her mother and Sophie. One of the things scheduled for incoming freshmen was a “Playfair” at the Wilkes gym for the evening. It was a series of games which involved students, faculty and administration and the purpose was to have everyone meet everyone else in an atmosphere of fun. Mary Ann walked down to the gym with other students who were feeling the same things she was feeling. Many were already homesick but were trying to “make the best of it." Diversion was the best she hoped Mary Ann finds a quiet place to study during one of for but, when she and the others the early days on the Wilkes campus. arrived at the gym, she found a group of people waiting to welcome them to campus. “They were really great, there were upper class students, there were members of the faculty, family.

They three boys and for those who don’t really did so much to make it fun. know the families well it is hard to and they weren’t just gestures, they tell who belongs to whom,” she were sincerely interested and trying smiles. to make us feel at home.

"I remember a time when people only left Wyoming Valley. Today, many of those people are coming home.” Needless to say, Stan, like many of us, marvels at the recovery of WilkesBarre following the Flood of ’72. One of Stan’s homes, and he is the first to admit it, is Wilkes College. He has fond memories of his alma mater and respectfully recalled the names of Bob Riley, John Gaito, George Ralston, Gene Hammer, and Eugene Farley, to name a few. ■‘Dr. Riley gave me advice; Dr. Gaito. confidence; Dr. Hammer, an ap­ preciation for the classroom; Dean Ralston, a listening ear: and Dr. Farley, a sense of respect.” In recall­ ing Stan as a student. George Ralston said, “Oh sure, I remember Stan. He was always active in the Psychology Club and would stop by to discuss different issues with me from time to time. He’s a fine man.” One of the most memorable moments Stan recalls while he was at Wilkes was when Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt came to campus and ad­ dressed the students at one of the weekly assemblies. "I never did figure out how Dr. Farley got the First Lady here, but I do remember the gym was packed as we listened to her talk about equality and humanitarian issues,” he said. At that time, Mrs. Roosevelt had been appointed by President Truman to serve the United States delegation to the United Na­ tions as chairperson of its Commis­ sion for Human Rights. Stan remembers many things about Wilkes. With a wide grin he reached back into his past and exclaimed, “I remember when our (Wilkes) football team used the Single Wing ... it is similar to the shotgun in case you’re not familiar with the Single Wing,” he MEMORIAL GIFTS to Wilkes College, in any amount, are a lasting tribute to a friend, relative or respected acquaintance . . . and a thoughtful remembrance for special occasions. The gift will be acknowledged promptly with an appropriate card or letter to the donor and to the family of the deceased or the person being honored. BEQUESTS made in your will to Wilkes College, in any amount, give needed support to the high quality of education and service offered our students and the community. 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY told me. He was right, I wasn’t. If I felt that I needed an in-depth explanation on how the Single Wing worked, Stan advised me, respectfully, to ask George Ralston, George was head coach at the time. In an effort to gain additional insight on the ‘Single Wing’ I asked the Dean for a brief explanation. “Greatest formation ever used in the game,” he said. Even though the days of the Single Wing have gone the way of the Alumni Elect New National Officers ‘horse-and-buggy’ (at least at Wilkes), Stan says he looks forward to the fall when he will again become a supporter of the Colonel gridiron squad. “The names have changed but the spirit remains,” Stan offered. “As I look back on my years at Wilkes I can recall a comfortable, supportive, family atmosphere,” said Stan in closing. “Besides receiving a good education at Wilkes, it was simply a nice place to be.” o It still is. Do You Have to be in Who's Who to Know What's What? By Betsy Bell Condron At the time of writing this (midJanuary) I have just put away my cherished collection of angels, for another year. Each time I bed them down I remember the fun it's been to collect: that darling china one from Spain; the exquisite piece from a boardwalk glass blower; handsome wooden Gabriel received on my 40th birthday; and even one made from an old light bulb presented by a six-year-old daughter. (She now wants me to toss it, but I can't’) Are you a collector, too? Perhaps your collections are more valuable than mine. If so, have you considered what will happen to your coins, stamps, cut glass, gem-inlaid pill boxes, antiques or silver miniatures when you're not here to enjoy them? More and more collectibles are being left to colleges as bequests, thus providing the donor with tax advantages and a possible life income for a beneficiary7. Such a remembrance also supports Wilkes College, your prime reason for its consideration in the first place, and produces that great feeling of gratification from making a life income gift without jeopardizing income. Almost anything of value may be donated to a charity, and many can set up a charitable remainder trust. (Rural colleges often receive gifts of livestock and crops as well as farmlands.) People are becoming familiar with gifts of real estate, stocks, bonds, insurance policies and cash to fund a trust providing life income for themselves and beneficiaries ... but few think of their "collections" as assets or their jewelry, library and business inventories! There's even a twist by which you may donate a partial interest in, for instance, a work of art you own . . . and receive a tax deduction to boot. You give Wilkes (the Sordoni Art Gallery, perhaps) an undivided one-fourth interest in a valuable painting. Assuming that interest covers all property rights, including the right of possession for one-fourth of the time, you arcentitled to a deduction equal to one-fourth of the painting's value. Wilkes thus gains a marvelous exhibit it might never have obtained, and you still receive joy from your prized possession for the rest of the year. 01 course, you may not have any old Van Gogh's hanging around, or a Mercedes/Rolls/ Ferrari type car, or even a Mickey Mouse watch to bequeath to Wilkes. BUT, perhaps your manufacturing company has unused scientific equipment in its inventor}-, held primarily for sale to your customers. You may give such "State-of-the-Art" property (called a "Qualified Research Contribution") to Wilkes for our research, experimental or training use. By­ donating the property within two years of the time you had substantially completed its construction, you are permitted a deduction for the basis of the property plus one-half of its unrealized appreciation. Think on that, all you scientific equipment makers! If you've been reading this article, chances are that Wilkes is part of your "collection" of charities. Do Your Estate Planning Now. It's important to review your will regularly and soon! If you have some art work, an early American craft collection or lovely Oriental fans, it won’t cost you a thing to bequeath those collectibles to the College. In fact, your financial position might well be enhanced . . . that's what planned giving is all about. These diverse property gift ideas are mentioned to demonstrate the variety possible in your estate planning and the imaginative ways you might consider for potential life interest plans made in support of Wilkes. Planned gifts via life income trusts and bequests don't endanger your future security and can often strengthen it.

"a ey �WLKE6 COLLEGE . fbiw Volume 6, Number 1 A message from GSG s. capin, president of Wilkes College In preparation for the celebration of Wilkes College's 50th anniversary year, I have asked various members of the faculty and alumni to draw together their recollection of events that have determined and charted the educational commitment of the institution and shaped its philosophy. Included in this issue of the Alumni Quarterly is a retrospection commemorating the courage and vision of those early leaders of Bucknell University who brought the dream of a Junior College in Wyoming Valley to reality; it is also a tribute to our friends and neighbors in this community whose faith and support and generosity have brought us to this historic occasion. "The story of a college cannot be told in facts and figures," said Dr. Eugene S. Farley, our first president. "It unfolds with the lives of those who have been influenced by their association with it." It is my hope that from reading this report you may come to appreciate the sacrifices and dedication, the ideals and aspirations of men and women who have shared in the growth of Wilkes College. At this time we reaffirm the purposes and mission of the College, for only by constantly reexamining our responsibility and our goals can we maintain the character and integrity of the institution. It is my wish that our commitment to teaching, research, and public service will help bring a better world for us and for mankind. I invite you to join with us in celebrating our 50th birthday. \ A i Wilkes College; A Retrospect This report is not intended to be a comprehensive history of Wilkes College. Each section reflects the growth and development of the College as those who lived through it remember it; each writer, chosen because of his or her familiarity with the period, could and did select and prepare information for inclusion in that chapter. In fifty years the College found some detractors who tried to put it down; but it found also friends who believed in its mission to nurture the creative spirit and ensure a better life for people everywhere. Future historians will have to assess the value of our contributions. As for us, and for now, it is enough to know that we were here; that we participated; and that we loved every minute of it.

On September 14 the Junior College was opened in rented quarters on the third floor of the Wilkes-Barre Business College three-story brick building on Northampton Street. In the second year, when the Business College moved out, the Junior College occupied the entire building. Labs were then moved to the third floor, and the library, originally housed in the Registrar's office, was moved to the second floor. In the beginning there were those who did not think the growing college could survive. A reference to the Junior College and the community appeared in a 1936 issue of the Survey Graphic, a national magazine {which suspended publication shortly afterwards): "WilkesBarre is a community divided against itself. The only effort to bring together diverse groups in the community is Bucknell University Junior College, and the community will never support it." In the June 1933 edition of the Bucknell Alumni Monthly, Homer P. Rainey, president of Bucknell University, reported that there was a population of over 400,000 in Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County within easy commuting distance, and there were more than 1,200 high school graduates within that area, many of whom were academically qualified, who could not afford to go away to a college or to a university. The results of a state-wide survey, made two years previously, indicated that there were at least ten cities where a junior college was eminently feasible. The report also indicated that "Wilkes-Barre offered the greatest need and the best opportunity of all the ten cities." The timing was right. The nation was still suffering from the Great Depression. The economy of Wyoming Valley was especially weakened from the decline of the anthracite coal industry. The Depression also caused a plethora of high-level teachers simply because colleges and universities, for financial reasons, could offer fewer academic appointments. Dr. Frank G. Davis, head of the Department of Education in Bucknell University, head of the Summer School, and, for many years, head of the Extension Division, is considered "The Father of Bucknell University Junior College." This was acknowledged in the biography of Arnaud C. Marts, president of Bucknell University from 1938 to 1945. Later, Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the first president of Wilkes College, referred to Davis' primary role in a memo to Dr. Francis J. Michelini, then Dean of Academic Affairs at Wilkes. Finally, 1933-35 Dr. Davis himself, on May 3, 1940, in a letter to registrar George R. Faint, recalled those events: "The facts of the case are that no interested citizens, no school superintendents, and no civic clubs presented any needs whatsoever to me prior to my presentation of the idea to Dr. Rainey." From March 1 to March 4, 1933, he had come to Wyoming Valley, visited schools, and talked with school people. "No individual or organization suggested to me the idea of a Junior College. I returned to Lewisburg on Saturday evening, March 4, [1933] and early the next week presented the idea to Dr. Rainey. Within the next two and a half months, I presented the matter to him at least a dozen times. He was interested but not sufficiently interested to move. On one occasion 1 asked him if I might bring to his office three school superintendents from that section, all Bucknell men. He agreed, and they attempted to show him where the Junior College could serve a real need. Finally, Dr. Rainey asked me to go to WilkesBarre and make a survey of the situation. I spent four or five days in that general area getting facts about the whole situation: and, when I returned with a recommendation that the Junior College be established. President Rainey presented it to the Board of Trustees and also to the Faculty. As soon as the Trustees and Faculty and the State Department of Public Instruction had approved the idea, I was sent to Wilkes-Barre to get the organization started; and you will recall that 1 took you, as Registrar, with me.

Reif Thomas Richards Cromwell Thomas During the month of March in 1936 Bucknell University Junior College had a change of command. Eugene S. Farley replaced John Eisenhauer as director. Dr. Farley came to Wilkes-Barre because he believed he had an opportunity to be of service. The Junior College was still operating in what was known as the "boiler factory" on Northampton Street, but in 1937 Chase Hall and Conyngham Hall became "the campus." Most of the faculty were still commuting from Lewisburg but several had established residence in Wilkes-Barre. "Year by year students come and go, but always friendships remain to enrich the lives of all of us who work together at Bucknell . . . We are none of us striving for ourselves alone, but all of us are helping to build an atmosphere and tradition that will mean much to those who follow us." In September of 1937 in his welcome to freshmen, Dr. Farley spoke of the activities waiting for them outside the classroom, which are definitely, he reminded them, a part of college life. "Year by year students come and go, but always friendships remain to enrich the lives of all of us who work together at Bucknell . . . Perhaps because we are a new and growing college, an added zest comes to our endeavors. We are none of us striving for ourselves alone, but all of us are helping to build an atmosphere and tradition that will mean much to those who follow us." In 1937 Norma Tyburski, nee Sangiuliano, affectionately known as Sangy, came aboard and founded the "Thespians." Sangy also instituted the May Festival, a pageant which was presented annually through 1947. It was Sangy and the women students who sewed and hung the curtains in Chase Hall soon after its acquisition by the College. On January 13, 1938, a meeting was opened by president Arnaud Marts and action was taken to institute a fifteen-member Board of Trustees for Bucknell University Junior College. Gilbert McClintock was elected chairman and Charles Miner was elected secretary; thus a first step was made in recognizing the Junior College as a separate entity. On February 16, 1938, the Board of Trustees faced the problem of financing the embryonic institution. Discussion ensued about the necessity of having a campaign, a move which became habit-forming. In June of 1938 Dr. Farley reported that during the first four years of its existence the Junior College had a 1936-46 deficit of $29,672.83; however, the financial picture looked better, and he predicted that the College would have to be more selective in its admissions because room for more students was not available. The campaign of June, 1938, raised $27,924 and that improved the situation. In September Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Weckesser presented their home on Northampton Street to the College with the stipulation that the house be used as residence for the director, and the Farley family moved into 78 West Northampton; Dr. Farley accepted a reduction in his salary, from $5,000 to $4,250, in lieu of rent. The first Weckesser Hall was later to serve several functions before it disappeared to make room for a new dormitory. At about the same time, the carriage house behind Chase Hall was converted into a playhouse (seating about 125) and for years the weekly convocations of the students and faculty, as well as many fine theatrical productions, were held in Chase Theater. With the move of William Miller, the original professor of mathematics, back to the main campus at Lewisburg, and the appearance of Arthur Bernhart, the formation of an indigenous BUJC faculty drew near. On the sixteenth of December, 1938, president Marts reported that BUJC had been accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. However, Dr. Farley reported that recognition by the Middle States Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges might be withheld if the holdings of the Junior College library were not increased. Upon hearing that report, trustee Daniel Roberts wrote out a check for $2,500 for the purchase of 50th ANNIVERSARY 7 �During the spring of 1943 a very large draft call took the majority of male students. 1937 — Conyngham Hall the thousand needed volumes. By June of 1939 Dr. Farley was able to announce to the trustees that during the six years since its inception the enrollment of the College had increased from 193 to 401. During the fall of 1939 a pilot training program, part of the federal effort to prepare more fliers for World War II, was instituted by BUJC, although the actual flying was initiated at the Forty’ Fort Airport. Two hundred and eleven students enrolled during the first year of the program. In October of 1939 Dr. Farley was able to announce that for the first time he had managed to balance the College's budget. More emphasis was placed on evening classes, which began in 1933, in addition to the daytime curriculum; a number of dedicated high school teachers joined with the full-time faculty to expand the evening school, which in 1936 enrolled 175 part-time students. Dr. Farley was able to report to the trustees that of the four hundred students in those days who went off to college from the Wyoming Valley, about a quarter of them started their collegiate studies at BUJC; thus the Junior College was beginning to make a constructive impact locally. With the growth of the College the trustees began to cast designing 8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY entire student body, including faculty, went to the Lehigh Valley Railroad station to see the boys go off to war. It was a tearful scene. The enrollment of BUJC was down to one hundred and eleven students, mostly female, but it was not long before the cadets were here and the College had a reprieve. Weckesser Hall became headquarters for the Army Air Force contingent, and the Farleys moved to the third floor of Kirby Hall. The cadets were quartered in the Sterling Hotel and marched by platoons from place to place, crowding civilians off the sidewalks. Woe be to anyone so unfortunate as to be in the path of 1937— Chase Hall glances at the Kirby home on the corner of South River Street and South Street. Mr. Weckesser was appointed to visit Allan P. Kirby to encourage him to donate the house to the College but Mr. Kirby hesitated. Meanwhile, the debt of the College was still approximately $30,000, on which the College was paying 5% interest, even though the pilot training program sponsored by the CAA showed a profit of three hundred dollars. In December of 1940 when Mr. McClintock was sent to call on him, Mr. Kirby proposed that the College share the building with The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society. However, the Society did not wish to share the house with anyone; Mr. Kirby then suggested that possibly the Wilkes-Barre Art Association might be interested. The Art Association was not interested, and finally in June of 1941 Kirby Hall became part of BUJC. In the meantime, president Marts began to talk in terms of a four-year institution, and consideration was given to offering two-year terminal courses in Commerce & Finance, Music, and Home Economics. Somehow the debt to Bucknell University was paid off in June of 1941, and a small group of friends joined with Mr. Kirby to provide $55,480 for alterations and endowment of Kirby Hall and prepare the building for occupancy by students and faculty of BUJC. The library, which had been in Conyngham Hall, was moved to the second floor of Kirby Hall. A grand piano was placed in the small front room so that Paul Gies could give piano lessons. The main living rooms were the scene of many dances, with music supplied by phonograph. In spite of the fact that the number of male students drafted into the armed services was starting to make inroads into the enrollment, the College continued and even instituted a course in medical terminology as a non-credit offering for secretaries of the Wyoming Valley. Rumor had it that the Army Air Force might come to BUJC and occasionally, throughout 1942, talk of a four-year college was heard. Then on the nineteenth of April, 1943, the Junior College appealed to Bucknell University to be allowed to administer the Army Air Force pre-flight training program here in Wilkes-Barre. The influx of 1,200 Army Air Force cadets came at a most opportune moment because during the spring of 1943 a very large draft call took the majority of male students. Practically the 1937 — Chase Theater 1941 — Kirby Hall two platoons marching in opposite directions! Nevertheless, the tenth anniversary of BUJC was celebrated at a dinner on November 11, 1943. The Air Force departed early in 1944 and plans were laid for a campaign to raise $150,000. Weckesser Hall was converted into a dormitory for sixteen proper young women over whom Dean Sangiuliano ruled with an iron hand in a velvet glove. With the news that King's College was about to come into being, in the former residence of BUJC on Northampton Street, the trustees again attacked the question of having a four-year institution and on June 14, 1945, they passed a motion that such action be taken. Discussions were held as to the planning and use of the city block on which the campus was then located in its entirety. A first move was made to purchase the lot formerly occupied by the Baptist Church at the corner of South Franklin Street and South Street. The acquisition of that lot some months later was the College's first action to enlarge by purchase the extent of the campus. And again attention was focused on raising $350,000 to be designated as endowment for the growing college. Bucknell University forgave the debt in the sum of $8,352.86 still �"By the twenty-second of April, 1946, the new college was almost within reach and the trustees were considering the selection of a name." 1945 — Barre Hall 1946 — Butler Hall 10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 1945 — Cafeteria owed the university by the Junior College. BU's generosity gave impetus to the campaign. On January 12, 1946, increases in salaries were proposed by the administration to the Board of Trustees. Dr. Farley was authorized to negotiate raises between $280 and $300 per person for those with the doctorate. Summer school courses were extra, and during the summer of 1946 a full semester was offered, beginning what was known as the trimester academic year. Most of the faculty, with loads approaching thirty contact hours per week, did teach the trimesters well into 1947. Early in January of 1946 the Junior College trustees purchased the Payne House and established a men's dormitory. A proposal was made that the cafeteria, located for years in the former kitchen of Chase Hall and certainly inadequate, be moved to the garage of Conyngham Hall, but that move was not made and in 1947 the Conyngham garage was refitted to become Wayman Hall, the home of the Biology Department. Next in acquisition was the Stoddard house, near the corner of Franklin and South Streets, later known as Gies Hall. The installation of required fire escapes to Gies 1946 — Ashley Hall Hall, at a cost of $14,000, was a major expenditure in those days; the growing Music Department was happy in Gies Hall, its practice rooms mercifully located some distance from the other campus classrooms. The former Stoddard garage was made into a cafeteria, and Mrs. Brennan moved her staff from the back room of Chase Hall to that elegant eatery, but when it was soon found to be too small Kirby garage and Stoddard garage were remodeled into one spacious dining facility and christened "The Commons." At its meeting of March 25, 1946, the Board of Trustees considered making application for an ROTC program but that was still some years in the future. At the same meeting Herbert J. Morris was appointed acting registrar and the resignation of George Faint, who was ill, was regretfully accepted. More discussion centered on the big campaign, which had not yet materialized. Dr. Farley insisted that the funds to be raised were for a four-year college "for people of all faiths, nationalities, and races, so that through friendly associations understanding and good [between all peoples] will be created." By the twenty-second of April, 1946, the new college was almost within reach and the trustees were considering the selection of a name. Among those mentioned in the minutes of that meeting were Wilkes-Barre, Anthracite, Riverside (which survived, at least in the name of the yearbook, "Amnicola"), Wyoming, Wyoming Valley, Luzerne, and Westmoreland. The name of John Wilkes emerged later. Also at that meeting on the twentysecond, Paul Gies appeared in person before the trustees and thanked Senator Andrew J. Sordoni for the gift of two grand pianos. In June of 1946 BUJC had to borrow $50,000 from the Miners National Bank, at 3%, to have the necessary cash until the Veterans Administration came through with the money owed the College for various service-related programs presented by BUJC. However, the order was issued for full speed ahead on plans for a four-year institution. The first yearbook was published and known only as BUJC 1946. The campaign goal was set at $400,000 and things began to move. With the return of the veterans the enrollment in 1946 surpassed a thousand. The veterans were in all departments. Classes as large as 240 met on the second floor of the First Presbyterian Church House. Weekly convocations were held in the 1346 — The Annexes sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church. George F. Ralston, dean of men, football coach, adviser to veterans, and house father of Ashley Hall, was officially cleared by the United States Government as appointee of the Board of Trustees to purchase war-surplus items at Harrisburg. Dean Ralston and others of the College, in rented trucks, made many trips to the depots in the state capital and there paid $1.00 per item for many things which enabled the College to perform its functions. The first computer on campus, a giant vacuum tube contraption, came from Harrisburg. BUJC in its last days appeared affluent even if it had mostly hand-me-downs. As a Christmas present for 1946, Walter S. Carpenter gave the College thirty shares of duPont common stock. The College's supporters in the community were becoming more numerous. The campaign for an endowment was a success, and with $500,000 in hand the graduation of Bucknell University Junior College to Wilkes College was assured. In May of 1947 application for a charter as an independent, four-year liberal arts college to be known as "Wyoming Valley College” was presented to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas: In the matter of: The application for a charter for Wyoming Valley College, in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County, now, the 28th day of May 1947, upon motion of William S. McLean, Esq., attorney for the incorporators of the above intended college, IT IS ORDERED AND DECREED as follows: That the incorporators be and are hereby permitted to amend their Articles of Incorporation by changing the name of the intended college from "Wyoming Valley College" to "Wilkes College." The within Amended Articles of Incorporation be and are hereby permitted to be filed in lieu of the original Articles of Incorporation . . . On June 4 the Charter was granted by the court, and on June 26, 1947, at ceremonies on the lawn behind Chase Hall, Gilbert McClintock, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Junior College, accepted the Charter from the state of Pennsylvania for Wilkes College. Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, fulfilling the promise made by Bucknell University, turned the capital assets of more than 52,000,000 over to the the new College. 50th ANNIVERSARY 11 �“Dr. Eugene S.

Dr. Farley wrote that the early years were a time of slow material growth; they teemed, however, with the creation of cocurricular organizations, campus activities, publications, faculty and community involvements that established the rituals and the traditions of Wilkes College, its character, and its vital contributions to the economic and cultural ambiance of the area. Rightly and inevitably, there were carry-overs from the Junior College. Student Government continued, and in 1949 the Inter-Dormitory Council was formed. Departmental clubs grew in number and in scope. The Choral Club and the Bach Festival, founded by "Pop" Gies, flourished. Reese E. Pelton had created a military band in 1946 and expanded it to include concert performances in 1947-1948; there was also a "Collegio” orchestra under his direction. In the fall of that academic year the first Homecoming was held and the first Winter Carnival. In 1957, the twenty-fifth anniversary year, sequential class reunions came into being. In 1947 the Thespians became Cue and Curtain under the direction of Al Groh, successor to Norma Sangiuliano Tyburski, and carried on the program of two full-length plays, one-acts, and radio shows. Productions were given in Chase Theater, at Irem Temple, and in various high school auditoriums. The first original one-act play, written by Ed Tyburski, was staged at Chase Theater. The first Intercollegiate Theater Conference, sponsored by Cue and Curtain, was held on March 12-13, 1949, with guest speakers Rosamond Gilder, editor of Theatre 1947-59 .Arts Magazine, and John O'Shaughnessy, director of Command Decision on Broadway; attending were representatives from 23 college, 7 community, and 37 high school drama groups in Eastern Pennsylvania. Beginning with George Gershwin's Girl Crazy in 1954 and continuing over the next fourteen years, musical comedies were sponsored by the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs of Wilkes-Barre; proceeds from these shows helped the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis endow the Wheelchair Club, started by Mrs. Paul Bedford, and aid the Crippled Children's Association, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and other civic organizations. The Music Man, Annie Get Your Gun, Bloomer Girl, and Paint Your Wagon were among the highly successful and largely attended performances held at Irem Temple. The Letterman's show, written by faculty members Alfred Groh and Dr. Charles Reif, with music composed by senior Ted Warkomsky, was presented in 1949 at Irem Temple and repeated at Kingston High School as a benefit for the Wyoming Valley Industrial Fund. Titled All in Fun, it was a mild satire of events and people on campus. The highlight was the "Can-Can" routine with George Ralston and the football squad in the kick-line, wearing costumes designed and made by Murray Popky. The College drinking song came from this show. Dr. Arthur Kruger founded the Debate Union in 1948 and soon established an impressive record that gave Wilkes College national recognition. The Wilkes team placed second in the National Invitational Debate Tournament at West Point 50th ANNIVERSARY 13 �"Now, as then, members of the college faculty and administration engage in a remarkable number of activities aimed at improving the economy and culture of the community." 1946 — Lecture Hall 1949 — Pickering Hall 1949 — Sterling Hall 1949 — President's Home below top: Gymnasium groundbreaking ceremonies, 1950.

J. Harold Flannery, Jr., and James Neveras were the winning debaters in a competition in which first-place University of Alabama had a weak lead. The Beta Gamma Chi (Bucknell's Girls' Club| had been founded in 1945. After the chartering, that name, no longer suitable, was changed to Women of Wilkes; but after grimly enduring the "WOW'S” tag for a time, the organization became in 1948 Theta Delta Rho. A service group, it played an active part in campus and community affairs. In 1952 it adopted a ten-year-old French war orphan and established a scholarship for a deserving member of the sorority. Over the years it has made the Golden Agers' Christmas party an annual affair; it participates in the Bike-a-thon for Cancer; and it is widely active in social and human-service projects. The first foreign students matriculated in 1947, and in 1949 a conference of International Relations clubs was held. John Chwalek set up a Placement Center and Careers Library in 1948, and the first Annual Conference was offered on March 29-30, 1951, "for the entire student body of Wilkes College as well as for seniors from high schools in Wyoming Valley." The first on-campus commencement was held in the gymnasium in 1951. Gone today are freshman hazing, compulsory Assembly, and the Amnicola Beauty contests, although a Homecoming Queen and her court continue to reign. Annual picnics are still held at Fair-Lea, Dr. and Mrs. Farley's farm at Beaumont. The Bucknell Beacon, the weekly campus newspaper, became the Wilkes College Beacon, and by 1949 the staff was attending the Interscholastic Press Conference. Wilkes Alumnus was the official publication of the Alumni Association; Vol. 1, No. 1 appeared in the summer of 1948. It has had various names over the years: Wilkes College Bulletin, Wilkes College Alumni News (1954) and the present Alumni Quarterly. Bucknell University Junior College Yearbook became in 1948 the Amnicola, a Latin word meaning "that which dwells by the river." Founded by Dr. Mary E. Craig, faculty adviser and member of the English department, the Manuscript was a first in the literary field and a showcase for creative student writers. The Allan Hamilton Dickson and Kate Pettebone Dickson Chair for the encouragement of research and creative writing was established in memory of her parents by Mrs. Franck Darte after World War II. The recipient was to have "a record of literary achievements which would encourage others to engage in creative writing." "Women of Wilkes," comprised of faculty members and wives of faculty, was organized in 1948, providing coffee hours for students, a scholarship fund, a series of guest and member lectures, and other campus involvements. The faculty seminar series, originally called the "Groping Group" series in an earlier incarnation, was revived in 1957 by an informal committee of Dr. Frank Davies, chairman of the English department; Dr. Stanko Vujica, chairman of the Philosophy department; and Dr. Konstantin Symons, chairman of the Sociology department; in 1958 it offered its first academic-year program to the campus family and to the public. The Town and Gown Concert Series (1948) was also open to both College and community guests. In 1952 and 1953, as a result of a visit to New York by John Chwalek, Wilkes hosted the American Town Meeting of the Air with Eric Severeid as moderator. The program was broadcast from the Wilkes College gymnasium coast to coast, through the facilities of station WILK, an affiliate of the American Broadcasting Company. John Chwalek was also responsible for bringing the College to the attention of two widely read periodicals. The January 16, 1956, issue of Sports Illustrated covered the twenty-fifth Annual "Rose-Bowl" of Wrestling Tournament held at the gymnasium during the Christmas holiday. The event attracted to the campus approximately 500 wrestlers from about 70 universities and colleges representing twenty-four states. The magazine's vice president of public relations spoke at a dinner attended by the coaches. An article, "Wilkes and WilkesBarre Working Together," appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine, November 23, 1958; staff writer John Beverly characterized the community-oriented College: "Now, as then, members of the college faculty and administration engage in a remarkable number of activities aimed at improving the economy and culture of the community." The Polish Club was an active force on campus and in the Valley. In 1948 in the College gymnasium it commemorated the achievements of nineteenth-century Polish leader and poet, Adam Mickiewicz, with a performance in English of his drama, Forefathers Eve. The cast, directed by Al Groh, included performers from the campus and community. Several community-oriented programs had their origin in the 1950s. The Institute of Municipal Government began in 1951 as an adjunct of the Political Science department under the guidance and leadership of Dr. Hugo V. Mailey. 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 50th ANNIVERSARY 15 �below top: Mural, painted by former chairman of the Art Department Cathal O'Toole, is in Farley Lounge of Stark Learning Center.

In 1960 the Ford Foundation rewarded its efforts with a substantial grant to expand its program. The Labor-Management-Citizens Committee was established in 1957 - Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg :airman of the Commerce and nance department, to act as an strumem cf mediation in labor disputes. It was supported jointly by the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce and the Ford Foundation. A New York ~mas promotion supplement of November 29 1958 referred to the L—?•!—C Committee as “an instrument of dramatic effectiveness in maintaining labor peace. The LaborManagement-Citizens Committee, the only one of its kind in Pennsylvania, has proved a positive factor in creating a climate of understanding, mutuality of interest, and joint responsibility which is rapidly making Wilkes-Barre one of the nation's most progressive areas in labor-management relations." . r.e first of six United . s’.t.r.a.iuet Pageants, an annual oeo'ivai oi vsr.gz and dances by ethnic groups living and working toge-her in Wyoming Valley, was rj" /■ April 29, : j'i at the gymnasium. With a •heme and script by Alfred Groh, director of theater, the Pageant portrayed experiences identified with people of different origins for whom "the dream of freedom is no* an act of law but an act of faith." To help celebrate the Sesquicentennial of the city of Wilkes-Barre in 1956, Dr. Parley volunteered resources and personnel of the College. This commitment resulted in a Fine Arts Fiesta, the first full-scale community-wide arts festival in Pennsylvania. The three-day cultural event included a United Nationalities Day as well as crafts-in-action, exhibits, visual and performing arts, and a variety of ethnic foods. This festival of the arts held on the Public Square, an outgrowth of the College's United Nationalities Pageant, came into being largely through the effort and support of Annette Evans, a member of the Board of Trustees. On December 20, 1957, an original one-act music drama, Man Against the Sky, was performed at the Commons for Dr. and Mrs. Farley's annual Christmas dinner for faculty and administration. Written for the 25th anniversary of Wilkes College, the opera had a libretto by Alfred Groh and music composed by William Crowder, an alumnus teaching in the WilkesBarre City Schools. A recording was made in the lobby of the gymnasium and released in an album with a jacket cover painted by Cathal O'Toole, chairman of the Art department. The music drama •was repeated at the 1958 Fine Arts Fiesta, with members of the original cast comprised of students and alumni. During the 50s Wilkes' success in competing for students with colleges that offered more attractive campus settings, superior facilities, and established traditions was in large measure owing to the talents and resourcefulness of John Whitby, who, as Dean of Admissions, visited high schools, interviewed prospective students and welcomed parents, evaluated transcripts, scheduled courses during the summer for incoming freshmen, and served a.s coordinator for the College and Kiwanis Club joint sponsorship of the theater/music department musical comedy productions. In these early years Wilkes became a part of the Community Chest annual campaigns. "Wilkes College on the Air" was broadcast over commercial stations. In 1951 a Philharmonic Society was organized under the direction of Ferdinand Liva, a member of the music faculty; in 1952 the WilkesBarre Symphony was revived. This became the Wyoming Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, with both College and community musicians. On September 27, 1957, Stark Hall was dedicated; named for Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of United States Naval Operations and Commander of the European Naval Forces during World War II, the building provided the College with facilities for teaching and research in physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering. On November 7, having accepted an invitation from David Vann, president of the Wilkes Chapter of the Collegiate Council of the United Nations (CCUN), Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke to the student body, attended luncheon in her honor at the Sterling Hotel, then sat in conference for the formation of a local United Nations group. Over a weekend in May of 1956 Wilkes hosted students from Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia; in the first of many yearly exchange programs, representative students and leaders of both colleges met and shared common experiences. The Hampton students, in thanking Millie Giltins and n'C'jnor Farley for the hospitality at Wilkes, wrote that the visits "can only result in better understanding." tru^ *'ar'ey's dream was coming 50th ANNIVERSARY 17 �. in all areas that make for social, economic, and cultural growth of our community."

Stark, right: .Members of the College and community attending the testimonial dinner at the gymnasium. The Lengthened Shadow of a Man Dr. Eugene Shedden Farley was born at the turn of the century. In 1936 when he and Eleanor came to Wilkes-Barre from his position as researcher in the Newark Public Schools to become director of the Junior College, he was a young man. On November 11, 1961, to note his twenty-fifth year in Wilkes-Barre, Dr. Farley was honored at a testimonial dinner at the gymnasium attended by more than 900 leading citizens "in appreciation for the great contributions [he] has made in this area . . . indeed," as William O. Sword, ■ © I am sure many would not have stayed with the College through the heat of the long druggie if Gene had not been the College's leader ..." president of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Industrial Fund, acknowledged, "in all areas that make for social, economic, and cultural growth of our community." Admiral Harold R. Stark, U.S.N. Retired, and chairman of the Board of Trustees of Wilkes College, referred to "this Quaker with an Irish name at the head and heart of the College" as "the main spring, the driving force, the tireless and devoted builder." Arnaud C. Marts, chairman of the Board of Directors of Marts and Lundy, Inc., and a member of Wilkes College Board of Trustees, spoke of the vision and leadership Dr. Farley inspired in others: ", . . [men and women] knew the little College could not succeed without a leader who could and would put brains, skill, and unselfish devotion at the very heart and center of the venture . . . I am sure many would not have stayed with the College through the heat of the long struggle if Gene had not been the College's leader . . . It has been well said that 'every institution is the lengthened shadow of a man.' That is preeminently true of Wilkes College and Gene Farley." Dr. K. Roald Bergethon, president of Lafayette College, told the group of Dr. Farley's importance in educational work and of his simple directness in responding as a human being to other human beings. "He has been single minded in pursuit of the welfare of Wilkes College, the youth of the community, the community as a whole, education in the Commonwealth ... It is for this reason that beyond Wilkes-Barre he has become the outstanding leader of the independent colleges and universities ... I think Wilkes College and Wilkes-Barre are lucky that this 1960-69 big and energetic fellow is endowed with worthy ideas and great human affection." Wilkes gained national recognition on Wednesday morning, November 8, 1961, when a seven-minute segment from the College campus was televised on the NBC ''Today” program. Paul Cunningham, the National Broadcasting Company's roving news reporter, interviewed Dr. Farley and emphasized the College's unique role in community development and its persuasive force as an educational institution. The seventy-five member Wilkes College Chorus conducted by Richard Chapline was featured during the program. Arrangements for bringing the NBC network cameras and Paul Cunningham to the campus to film and report the College story were made by John Whitby and John Chwalek. In 1961 in its second year as a semimonthly television series on WNEP-TV, "The College Challenge," a thirty-minute program, presented a panel of students and community leaders examining and discussing important ideas and events of our time. Alfred Groh was the program's moderator. Also, a five-minute weekly series, "Education for Responsibility," was broadcast on WBRE-TV during the "Today” show by Livingston "Pop” Clewell, director of Public Relations, to keep the community informed of an active and growing College. Physical Facilities The decade of the '60s was in reality a period of rapid change and growth, especially in terms of the physical facilities and growth of the College campus. 18 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 50th ANNIVERSARY 19 �"Wilkes also was privileged at these dedication ceremonies to confer its first honorary degree upon Walter S.

Within the first nine months of 1964 two events of particular significance to the future of the College had been noted. In January the Graduate and Research wings of Stark Hall were completed, and in August ground was broken for the Center for the Performing Arts. At the dedication of this new Graduate and Research Center, Pennsylvania Governor William W. Scranton emphasized its economic importance to the region, as did First Lady Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, whose interest in education and economic redevelopment brought her to the College. Wilkes also was privileged at these dedication ceremonies to confer its first honorary degree upon Walter S. Carpenter, Jr., a great industrial leader and warm friend of the College, whose devotion to the place of his birth enabled Wilkes, as well as other local institutions, to enlarge its services to the people of the area. Completion of the Graduate Center was necessitated by the commitment the College made (availability of graduate programs and facilities in technical fields) to bring the Radio Corporation of America to the Greater Wilkes-Barre area. While meeting the commitment to R.C.A., a grant from the Area Redevelopment Administration permitted the College to construct research facilities which complemented the Graduate Center. These research and graduate facilities cost 51,000,000; $600,000 was provided by generous friends and businesses; the balance of 5400,000 was granted by A.R.A. The addition of these two facilities to the original Stark Hall, which was completed in 1957, gave the College a completely modern science complex valued at $2,500,000. In August of 1964, just eight months after the dedication of the Graduate and Research Center, ground was broken for the longawaited Center for the Performing Arts. Through the generosity of one of the College's trustees, the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts became a reality in October 1965 and helped to balance the advance in the sciences with a comparable advance in the arts. With excellent facilities for conferences, recitals, lectures, concerts, and dramatic productions, the Center provided both the College and the community an opportunity to participate in creative activities that broaden interests and enrich lives. Playwright Paul Green and scene designer-consultant Donald Oenslager, along with other campus and civic dignitaries, spoke at the dedication ceremonies. Wilkes College and the community were saddened by the passing of Eleanor Farley in May of 1965; a gifted pianist, Mrs. Farley had been invited to present a concert for the opening of the Center. A second phase of the Center for the Performing Arts was realized in the summer of 1969 when the Dorothy Dickson Darte Music Building was completed: This facility provided a complete home for the Department of Music — faculty offices, studios, classrooms, practice rooms, and rehearsal rooms. In 1964 the College's athletic facilities were expanded and improved on the West Side of the Susquehanna River in a seven and one-half acre area adjoining Kirby Park. Acquisition and renovations provided a field house, visiting teams locker rooms, a football field and stands, a soccer field, all-weather tennis courts, a field hockey area, and reasonable parking facilities. All of these facilities were adjacent to the College's baseball field, which was once area was formally dedicated as Ralston Field, named in honor of George F. Ralston, dean of students. Because of an increasing number of requests for admission to Wilkes from students living outside the commuting area of the College, construction of a new dormitory and dining hall began in April 1965. Opened in September 1966 and eventually named Pickering Hall, the building in its design represented a departure from the barracks-type dormitory of the past. The Y-shaped, three-story dormitory provided housing for 268 men in nine separate housing units. The one-story, carousel-like dining hall provided for the serving-of up to 700 students in two seatings. When the College completed its periodic evaluation for accreditation by the Middle States Association in 1958, the need for enlarged library facilities was made evident and the College was committed to fulfillment of this goal by the time of its next evaluation. Consequently, on November 1, 1968, the newly constructed four-floor library was dedicated at a formal convocation ceremony. This new facility provided capacity for 425,000 volume equivalents and study area for 500 students. It also provided individual study carrels, faculty study rooms, a media center, a large microfilm collection, and four special collection rooms. As the true center of the College, the Library P as narned in honor of the College's “rs president, Eugene Shedden artey, and the commemorative P aque appropriately reads: "May who study in these halls gain suci°" t0 lnsPire< conviction to ‘am, and wisdom to guide." 50th ANNIVERSARY 21 �below top: Eugene Shedden Farley Library, below center: Coach John Reese's wrestling team won its seventh MAC championship in eleven years (1967). below bottom: Under the direction of Rollie Schmidt, the football team won its second straight MAC championship and was awarded the first Lambert Bowl (1967).

In the mid-1960s, the Weckesser mansion at 170 South Franklin Street was given to the College and has served primarily as an administration building since that time. And, in December 1968, one of the College's oldest classroom buildings, Conyngham Hall, was destroyed by fire. This loss hastened the planning and construction of the $7,000,000 Stark Learning Center, which became a reality in the 1970s. above top: Camelot, the first WilkesKiwanis musical presented at Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, November 1966. above: A view of Pickering Hall, "new men's dorm." 22 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Student Life Enrollment figures accurately verify the title "Decade of Growth." In 1960 the registrar indicated that 1,171 full-time students had registered. By 1970 the number of full-time students had more than doubled as the total enrollment rose to 2,556. Although the increased enrollment reflected the national pattern, Wilkes was unique in that the greatest growth occurred in the resident student population. While the total student population doubled during the decade, the number of students in residence nearly quadrupled. In 1960, 240 students resided on campus. By 1969 the residence halls accommodated 844. No longer was Wilkes regarded as a commuter college, for nearly fifty per cent of the full-time student population lived on campus. There was also an increase in the number of faculty. In 1960 there were 80 full-time and 26 part-time members; in 1969 there were 161 full-time and 23 part-time faculty. The decade was not characterized simply by growth in numbers. There was growth in diversity of student backgrounds. More extensive geographical areas were represented as well as educational backgrounds. Ethnic, economic, and social backgrounds were increasingly diverse with the result that the term "Unity Amidst Diversity" was fittingly applied during the decade. What were the students like during the sixties? They were restless and actively sought changes. An incipient revolt stirred within them. For years the College had encouraged students to question, to criticize, to test, to search for new meanings and new solutions. This was a period when students realized it was necessary to apply knowledge, and to live effectively it meant to have freedom beyond the classroom — to be given recognition to participate in the formulation of policies and rules as well as to participate in the planning of their own activities. To students of this era it meant having freedom to fail, to make mistakes, and to recover, to work within a broad framework of regulations that protect the rights of others; it meant, moreover, sustaining a faith in the individual's ability to reason, to learn, and to behave constructively. To be sure, the restlessness, the energy and drive of students of this period to bring about changes and to participate in all matters concerning them manifested itself in some mildly disconcerting behavior. During this decade we experienced two massive sit-ins (of less than twenty-four hours duration) and at least three demonstrations. Personal appearances reflected disdain for the conventional; shaggy hair and general disregard for neatness and cleanliness of appearance were widespread. More importantly, during this period emerged some of the finest student leadership Wilkes has known. Most of the present policies are the result of the creative activism on the part of talented student leadership of the decade of the 1960s. In 1968 the Student Life Committee was established, and it was a most creative and furiously active body. From the latter part of £ decade there emerged new definitions, new policies, and revised statements pertaining to governance, students' rightsand privileges, social emancipation, student government constitution, udSlfystem, and traditions relating to student life. The housing of students, the College believes, is an integral rather than an adjunct part of the education of students. To meet the needs of the greatly increased number of resident students the College created the Housing Office and procured professional directors. Student financial aid was greatly expanded, and the establishment of a permanent Financial Aid Office came into being. Student life in the '60s was colorful, marked by growth and change. With all this there was frantic activity. More than 45 clubs, organizations, and athletic teams were officially recognized and active. Outstanding records were posted by the football and wrestling squads. Programs and Curriculum During this period major advances were made in the field of graduate education. In response to needs in the community a graduate program in education was developed in cooperation with Temple University. Graduate programs at e master's level in education and business administration were also developed in cooperation with behigh University.

Wilkes College responded to needs in the community by introducing graduate programs in biology, chemistry, and physics. Graduate programs were also added in business administration and education. In the education program a student could major in English, history, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, or elementary education. During this same period the undergraduate two-year physics program was expanded to four years. Also, four-year undergraduate programs in electrical engineering and materials engineering were introduced. The matter of educational philosophy has always been of foremost concern to the faculty. This philosophy, embodied in the "Marks of an Educated Man," had been developed by the faculty in an earlier decade. It was during this period that the "Marks" were put into the form in which we find them today displayed prominently in the Wilkes College Bulletin. In 1960 there were 18 major programs and 4 terminal programs; 427 courses were offered. By 1969 there were 16 B.A. programs and 12 B.S. programs with 534 courses being offered. The faculty conducted its business with 11 standing committees in 1960 and 13 in 1969; fortunately, this was the area of least growth. Core Curriculum The faculty has always been concerned that students get as broad an education as possible. After an extensive amount of discussion at many faculty meetings a core curriculum was adopted which served as the center around which every bachelor of arts program was developed. There was also an agreement in principle that every 24 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY curriculum. The main aspects of this core curriculum continue today with an even broader program applicability. The result has been a common educational experience for most Wilkes College students. Governance The 1960s was a time of questioning for both students and faculty members. At about the middle of the decade signs appeared that the faculty was dissatisfied with its role in the governance of the College. This was the period when faculty senates were springing up on other campuses. A large study group consisting of all full and associate professors was charged by the president and the faculty to look at the faculty's role in governance and to suggest viable alternatives to the faculty meeting system. The study group held many meetings over an extended period of time. The recommendation took the form of a revised draft of a constitution which would have established a faculty senate if the faculty had adopted the constitution and assuming confirmation by the administration and board. The revised draft of the constitution is dated November 1968. For a variety of reasons — the turbulence of the times, uneasiness about the future, subtle pressures among faculty factions — the proposed constitution was never voted on by the faculty. The faculty continued to be restive on the subject of governance. The constitution of the proposed faculty senate contained a section which provided for the establishment of a committee on commissions whose function was to review the activities of senate or faculty business. The idea for this proposal may have germinated in faculty discussions toward the end of the decade when a committee on committees was established. Its Z" revised SyS.«m »gl.. acuity desire for an enhanced role „ governance. The resu ts of this effort did not appear until the next decade. Student Participation in Faculty Standing Committees It was during this period that student interest in governance reached its peak. At Wilkes this interest took the form of a Student Government study which reported the benefits of student participation in the governance process. The report suggested that students could contribute greatly if they were members of Faculty Standing Committees and were allowed to participate in debating and voting on issues. The president' of Student Government made a presentation to the faculty with an appeal for student representation on faculty committees. The faculty responded positively and students have been faculty committee members since that time (1974). Center. It was evident that some method had to be developed to attract and hold family physicians in northeastern Pennsylvania. When, as it turned out, Hershey was unable to make the commitment to the College, Dr. Farley, Dr. Michelini, and Dr. Rozelle met with local physicians. After several sessions here and in Philadelphia, Wilkes College announced its innovative Cooperative Medical Education Program in Family Medicine with Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, to begin September 1972. It was from this beginning that other pre-professional programs were developed in later decades with Temple University in dentistry and pharmacy, with Pennsylvania College of Optometry, and Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. Health Science Developments Toward the end of the period a crucial event occurred in the community.

Student demands for visitation rights in the dorms, faculty and student concern for involvement in Viet Nam, and demands, generally, for a greater voice in formulating academic and social policy led to a series of teach-ins, demonstrations, and sit-ins. The administration met these needs by extending the governance of the College: faculty members were elected to committees by their peers rather than appointed by the administration: students were represented on College committees; and student demand for visitation rights were acceded to. The College administration was restructured in such a way that all elements felt their points of view were being represented more equitably. However, in June of 1972 the most dramatic event in the College's history temporarily pushed these other issues to the background. The Agnes Flood wreaked havoc upon the Wyoming Valley and disrupted normal economic, social, and educational activities. For four days Wilkes-Barre lay empty of human inhabitants as turbulent flood waters rose to better than twenty feet in some locations. Buildings were crushed and often moved from their foundations. Streets and sidewalks were covered with a slimy layer of mud; gigantic chunks of concrete were simply torn up by the force of the water and strewn about roadways and front yards. Fires raged out of control and destroyed entire city blocks. By the time the flood waters receded and tired people returned to their battered homes, there was a general realization that the Wyoming Valley had experienced one of the worst 1970-83 natural disasters in American history. Since the College was at the center of the flood area, it suffered damages similar to those that plagued the city generally. No facility on campus escaped. Heating systems and electrical circuits were made unusable. Doors were forced off the hinges or jammed closed. Water-logged books, swollen to twice their normal size, forced apart metal and wooden bookcases. Carpets and stuffed furniture were not simply ruined, but were made ten and twenty times heavier than normal because of water and mud. Floors buckled, walls bulged, and moldings were stripped away. And everywhere there was mud. It lay three and four inches thick on floors and desk tops. It worked its way into typewriters, clocks, and maintenance equipment. It destroyed food, bedding, student records, and much of the library collection. It brought filth and a stench that would remain for years. As much as the water itself, the mud left its own reminder of destruction. Human dislocation and suffering matched physical destruction. Large segments of the student body, faculty, and administration were victimized by the flood and had to attend first to family needs. Many people were forced from their homes for lengthy periods and took refuge in public shelters or with friends and relatives. How the financial burden of recovery would be handled was an uncertainty not only for the College itself but for members of the College family. There was much to do and little in the way of resources with which to do it. 50th ANNIVERSARY �“At its fiftieth anniversary the College reflects the marks of a mature and sound academic institution." residence formenand wo,nen, opened August 1982 above top: Conyngham Student Center, presented by the Conyngham family, refurbished with funds from Alpha Campaign, above: Ann Marts, with president Robert S.

Learning was after all more important than clean buildings, and the relationship between students and faculty was more vital than brightly lit classrooms. Since human beings were essential elements in higher education, other things could be at least temporarily discarded. With this in mind, the College's first summer session reopened less than a week-and-a-half after the flood. While some faculty and students continued normal scholarly activities, albeit in dark and dirty classrooms, others shoveled out mud-filled basements, washed off desks and chairs, and restored some semblance of order to College records. Suits and ties gave way to work clothes and hip boots, squeegees and plastic waste baskets were sought-after possessions, and calluses and aching muscles became commonplace problems. Students gave up summer jobs and vacations to return to Wilkes-Barre and help reconstruct the campus. Alumni willingly gave their time, as well as monetary support, to help the beleaguered College. A spirit of unity and purpose emerged perhaps more fully than ever before, and gradually, under the leadership of president Francis J. Michelini the College returned to full operation. By the time fall classes opened on September 29, the invigorating impact of large-scale government support was only beginning to become evident. Yet there was a feeling among students and faculty that the College had already come to terms with its greatest problems. Although the flood of 1972 was the single, most important event of the 1970s, even as the flood occurred the College was changing m other ways. Changing demographics across the country orced colleges generally away from he optimistic enrollment projections of the 1950s and 1960s Wilk , other colleges, became apprei,Sp hke about projections of decl£‘51Ve enrollments, student interest8 in career development, and the concern with economic securitv Although seeking to retain its Y' uriv'V a llberal arts college Wilkes decided to incorporate pre-prefessional programs into its curriculum. In this context the Wilkes-Hahnemann medical program led the way to integrating pre-professional training with 8 a liberal arts background. The Nursing Program, AFROTC Engineering, Computer Science ' Cooperative Education, along with the existing Business and Accounting programs, responded to the need for career development. The growth of the athletic program along with other College programs forced the College to face the problem of its facilities. Because of the increase in fuel costs in the middle '70s and the consequent concern for efficiency, strict attention was given to the quality of facilities on campus. Newer buildings, like Stark Learning Center, were completed and others, like the new residence hall, started; older buildings, like the Student Center, the Annette Evans House, Kirby, Bedford, and Chase, were renovated — with stunning results. However, some older buildings had to be razed simply because they were prohibitively expensive to operate or renovate. The attempt to balance the older architecture with the new raised architectural issues — moral as well as economic. Perhaps the single greatest change in the 1970s was the loss of Dr. Farley, who at the age of 70 resigned as president in the spring of 1970. Upon recommendation 01 a search committee the Board o Trustees appointed Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, his successor. Under president Michelini, Dr. Far cy UP College experimented with a th ^ of divisional chairmen, then a provost, and, finally, h‘ as arrived at a system of corporate administration under presiden Robert S. Capin, an alumnus of the College. In 1975 when Dr. Michelini left to become president of the Pennsylvania Commission of Independent Colleges and Universities, Mr. Capin became acting president and was inaugurated as the third president of Wilkes College on October 24, 1976. Under president Capin's leadership the College reestablished its operations with successive balanced budgets, refined and expanded its curricula, enhanced its fund-raising abilities, and renovated much of the physical plant. The latter included the reconstruction of the Conyngham mansion on South River Street to provide an attractive and functional student center. Planning — both short-term and long-range — became marks of president Capin's corporate-style administration. At the end of the decade the College made plans for construction of a new residence center, Founders' Hall, dedicated m August of 1982, is a 205-bed residence facility that enabled 1 es to transfer students housed HotelVei?al YearS a‘the Sterlin§ At its fiftieth anniversary the oUege reflects the marks of a We conclude our retrospection with a quotation from a brochure written by Dr. Eugene S. Farley in 1960 titled New Vistas for Wilkes College: "The growth of Wilkes College has demonstrated that vision and generosity are the essential ingredients of growth. Had we failed to foresee the needs of the community, or had we failed to struggle to satisfy them, a liberal college for people of all backgrounds and all faiths could not have been established in Wyoming Valley. The vision of generous men and women has enabled a dream to become a reality. The fascination of the College is that, with growth come increased responsibility and opportunity. As the College has grown, its responsibilities and its opportunities have been enlarged. Today Wilkes College looks back, only that it may look forward more clearly. The program of the past demonstrates the progress that is possible in the future. If we retain our convictions and faith, and continue to serve students, community, and neighbors, the impossible again becomes the possible." 50th ANNIVERSARY 29 �/ ■ . . .

Among those changes is the sale of Parrish Hall, Chapman Hall, and the "Parrish Parking Lot" to a private developer who plans to convert the structures into an office complex. Parrish and Chapman Halls were con­ structed originally by the former Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company during the early 1900's; Parrish, in fact, still bears the name of the coal company in its cornice, and several doorknobs with the coal company insignia still remain in the building. Chapman Hall had served as a women's residence hall through the 1982-83 school year. The administrative offices formerly housed in Parrish Hall have been moved to Sturdevant Hall on South Franklin Street, including the Business Office, Finance, the Registrar and Recorder, and the Office of Graduate Studies, Summer and Evening School. Joining those offices in Sturdevant, formerly another women's residence hall, are Financial Aid {from the lower level of Weckesser Hall) and the Upward Bound Program (from Ross Hall). The Department of Commerce and Fi­ nance, the last remaining academic department in Parrish Hall, has been reheated to Bedford Hall on the comer of River and South Streets, a former men's residence hall. In addition to hous­ ing the offices of the faculty, several rooms will be used as classrooms in the building. "Moving the administrative offices to Sturdevant Hall will be a blessing to the students," remarked Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management and responsible for the physical plant of the College. "The registrar, finance office, and financial aid will be much closer to the student deans in Weckesser Hall and to the Admissions Office in Chase Hall, thus making it easier for students needing those services to walk from one building to another," he continued. Three buildings were determined to have outlived their usefulness to the Col­ lege-Gore Hall and Dana Hall, both residence halls and both on South Franklin Street - have been razed along with Conyngham Hall Annex, The Gore and Dana Hall lots vzill be landscaped as "green areas" to open the vistas toward continued on page 2 of _such departments as Commerce and Stately Parrish Hall, once the home c, and Education, and a landmark Finance, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Psyc,^ to motorists crossing the Market Street Bridge Br ‘ ’ into the city, is in the process of °ain into a commercial office complex, changing hands, to be developed once n again along with Chapman Hall [insert/. College Receives Bequest President Robert S. Capin recently announced that the College has received a be­ quest in excess of $500,000 from the estate of the late William L. Evans of Harvey's Lake, PA. A native of Wyoming Valley, Evans died in May, 1983, at the age of 91. As a tribute to his generosity ana philanthropic support for Wilkes and higher education, the Board of Trustees has officially renamed Founders Hall the William L. Evans Residence Hall. Located at the corner of South River and East Northampton Streets, Evans Hall is a 205-unit residence hall which was opened in September of 1982. "We are extremely grateful to the late Mr. Evans for his generosity and vision which will assist us in maintaining the quality of education at Wilkes," said Capin in making the announcement. "Wilkes remains, and shall continue to be a strong force in the educational, cultural and social development of the students of Northeastern Penn­ sylvania largely because of wise and unselfish benefactors like William L. Evans." A graduate of Coughlin High School, Evans began his professional career in the plastering business with his father, Daniel H. Evans, of Wilkes-Barre. Following a part­ nership with Builders Supply Company here in the city, Evans joined with William Sworcf in 1942 to originate the Petroleum Services Corporation of Wilkes-Bane. Evans served as a member of the former Franklin Club, the Westmoreland Club, and Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas. The end of the 1982-83 academic year also brought with it the final issue of the Wilkes College Quarterly, the college magazine which was distributed to alum­ ni, parents, and contributors to the Col­ lege, and published jointly by the Public Relations Office and the Office of Alumni Relations. After analyzing both the costs of the publication and the reaction of its readers to last year's alumni survey, Ex­ ternal Affairs Dean Thomas Kelly and his staff decided to change the format to what you are now reading. ■8The 1982 alumni survey resulted in some interesting data concerning the readership of the Quarterly. For exam­ ple, of the more than 500 survey re­ sponses, 40% indicated that the Quar­ terly was read only by the alumnus/a;48% discarded the magazine within two weeks after receiving it; and only 3% passed it along to someone outside the family after reading it. Based on these findings, it was decided to publish the Alumnus as a less expensive black-andwhite offering rather than the very costly four-color magazine. In terms of content, the survey respon­ dents indicated their highest interest in the areas of class notes, prominent alum­ ni, and campus happenings. As you read through the pages of this issue, you will notice that we have attempted to include topics from these areas, along with other features that will appear from time to time. The Alumni Christmas Shopper on page 6, for example, offers graduates and parents, especially those unable to make a personal visit to the Bookstore, the op­ portunity to purchase souvenir items dis­ playing the College seal as well as a variety of articles of clothing, just in time for the holiday season. If you are in­ terested in purchasing any items not pic­ tured in the Shopper, just call or write Gene Manganello, manager of the Book­ store, for prices and availability of ar­ ticles. You will want to order quickly, however, to ensure delivery in tune for your gift-giving. Another External Affairs change be­ came effective on June 1, when the Development Office was reorganized under the directorship of Randy Xenakis. Xenakis, who is also the Director of Public Relations and Publications, fol­ lows James Aikman, who moved into the area of Administrative Computer Services last spring. Betsy Bell Condron 79 (MSEd), Director of Planned Giving, continued on page 2 1 �Parrish, Chapman Halls Sold News of and about Alumni... continued from page 1 the inner campus, especially Pickering Hall. The Conyngham Annex lot will be paved for narking to help offset the loss of spaces from the Parrish Hall lot. Ross Hall, located on South River Street, will be deactivated as the Act 101 Program is relocated in Kirby Hall, while plans call for Hollenback Hall to be used once again as a residence hall. College employees recently completed the reno­ vations to the third floor of the Con­ yngham Student Center into office spaces tor various student organizations and the Beacon, further consolidating the stu­ dent-oriented activities on campus. The College Infirmary, formerly located in Conyngham Annex, has moved to the second floor of the Student Center. President Capin noted that "not only will these changes result in a more effi­ cient utilization of our physical plant, but students will also benefit by the campus consolidation. to munity, see a marked --- . .. We expect --------and has change in the traffic pattern of students since the Commerce and Finance Depart­ ment is now closer to the center of cam­ pus. Only by maintaining as efficient an operation as possible can we keep the costs to our students as low as possible." Our New Look continued front page 1 was advanced to Assistant Director of Development. Betsy will continue to write a column for the Alumnus, as will Randy and other members of the Exter­ nal Affairs Staff. Because the alumni play such a key role in the future progress of the College, a full page of each Alumnus will be devoted to the development func­ tion, bringing you items of interest about annual campaigns, special bequests, and ongoing needs of the institution. While the change in format of this alumni newsletter was based on the re­ sponses to the survey conducted by the Alumni Office, we are very much inter­ ested in hearing from alumni who were not included in that survey (the survey sample was randomly selected by the computer) with their reactions to the Alumnus. Whether it's praise or criti­ cism, or even contributions of original material, we offer each reader the oppor­ tunity to share with us and the alumni association your feelings. Keep in touch! The WILKES COLLEGE ALUMNUS is published quarterly each September, December, March, and June by the Office of Alumni Relations to keep Alumni, imni. parents, and acd community members informed ofI items of importance important concerning the Col­ lege and its; graduates.

Over its 22-game schedule, the Colonel pitching staff 13-9, recorded a 3.15 earned run average, sixth best in the na­ tion. In 180 innings pitched, the Colonels gave up 109 runs, only 63 of which were earneo. The Wilkes pitchers included Nick Volpetti, Coughlin; Rich Sheaffer, Cen­ tral Bucks West; Rich Geffert, Coughlin; Dana Colavetti, Tunkhannock; Jack Delfino, Carbondale; and Gene Nosovitch, Carle Place, NJ. Excellent pitching should remain with the Colonels as Geffert is the only player lost through graduation. UNSWORTH HAS CHOICE OF QB THIS YEAR Entering his second year as head coach of the Wilkes Football Colonels, Bill Unsworth has recruited heavily and is looking to improve upon last year's 1-8 record. Last year's team operated under a wide-open passing game, averaging nearly 40 passes an outing. That team established three offensive records. Fall practice sessions were slated to get underway in late August, with 30 let­ termen and one of the largest incoming freshman crops in recent history ex­ pected to assemble at Ralston Field. One of the major areas of concern in the early going will be to find the best man to direct the offense from among the three returnees and three incoming freshmen. Lost through graduation was last year's starting quarterback Wayne Lonstein. The leading candidate is sophomore Randy Rice. The 6'1", 185-pound West Hazleton product replaced the injured Lonstein in 1982 and finished the season ranked third in passing in the Middle At­ lantic Conference. He is an intelligent quarterback and has good working Knowledge of the offense. Expected to battle for the spot are junior Andy Haradel and sophomore Eric Reidinger. Harakel, from Robesonia, is smaller at 5'10", 170 pounds. He played quarterback in early season relief last year but was moved to wing back where ne played well. Reidinger, 6'1", 195 pounds, from Danville, started last season with arm trouble. He played in the last two games and was the leading rusher against Fair­ leigh-Dickinson University of Madison, NJ. He has good physical size and a strong arm. In order to help the Colonel cause, he needs to become more accurate and better familiarize himself with the offense. Three freshmen who will be arriving on the scene this fall are Chuck Man­ ganiello, Brad Scarborough and John >mas.iviaugdiucuu, u v , 180iovThomas.

A doubleheader loss to Elizabethtown Col­ lege eliminated the team's chances of be­ ing invited to the MAC tournament. Senior catcher Ken Sorick selected MAC All-Star, First Team. Pitching staff ranked sixth nationally in earned runs with a 3.15 average. SOFTBALL - 104-1 NPWIAA Champions for third consec­ utive year. Captured MAC Northwest Total League for second consecutive year. Lost 10-3 in semi-fmals of MAC Champion­ ship to Scranton University. Michelle Zawoiski, Karen Johnson and Karen Galli were MAC All-Stars, First Team. GOLF - 3-7 Finished seventh in MAC Tournament out of 20 schools. Sophomore Jeff Tokach was a place finisher with fifth best score. TENNIS - 0-12 Injuries and lack of depth plagued team throughout the season. ZAWOISKI NATION'S SOFTBALL LEADER head coach Nancy Roberts, whose team finished the 1983 season with a 10-4-1 mark. "She is an outstanding athlete with lots of natural ability. Michelle hit for a .357 average and had a .955 fielding average." Zawoiski was an All-Conference First Team selection with teammates Karen Johnson and Karen Galli.

Gala Evening Had by 600 MM More than 600 people from the com­ munity and from the Wilkes College Family were on hand to celebrate the College's 50th Anniversary at a ball held on May 7 at Genetti's Best Western in downtown Wilkes-Barre. The gala affair was the grand finale for the Golden Anniversary year at Wilkes. Guests included friends from the com­ munity, visitors and alumni from across the country — literally. John Jastrem '77, an accounting manager with Arthur An­ dersen & Company in Los Angeles, coupled a family visit with the oppor­ tunity to attend the ball. Jerry Moffatt '63, a member of the Wilkes Board of Trustees and a partner with Arthur An­ dersen in New York City, also attended, giving us coast-to-coast representation of the Alumni. Special recognition was given to those whose efforts were instrumental during the year of celebration, including W. Carey Evans '41, a member of the Wilkes Board and Chairman of the 50th Anni­ versary Celebrations, and John Chwalek, campus coordinator of the anniversary activities. Also honored were Trustee Emeritus Charles H. Miner, Jr., and the latexF. Ellsworth Parkhurst.

By fall (here will be 110 user ter­ minals at various locations on campus, with a potential 85 additional terminals able to be added. This will allow all students in all dis­ ciplines to become computer literate. "Students in the sciences will usually have, by the nature of the field of study, access to computers; however, those who are in the humanities previously had lit­ tle of the vitally important hands-on ex­ perience they will need in a computeroriented job market," Nejib stated. The program, once fully developed in place, will be unique in the area, and one of the most important aspects of the MV-10000 is that it will allow Wilkes to put in place a new degree in software en­ gineering and eventually a master's pro­ gram in engineering. The Data General, which will be used solely for academic purposes, replaces two Hewlett Packard computers, which previously supported both academic and administrative applications. One of the Hewlett Packard units will continue to service the administrative functions, while several options are being consid­ ered for the second unit. DATA GENERAL INSTALLED Computers in the classroom have be­ come commonplace, and the public tends to associate the highly sophisticated machines exclusively with science or science-related courses. Wilkes, a tradi­ tionally liberal arts institution, will help to dispel that concept as the newlyacquired Data General MV-10000 time­ sharing computer system will be used in academic programs in both the sciences and the humanities. Dr. Umid Nejib, chairman of the De­ partment of Engineering and Director of Computer Services, stated, "We fully ex­ pect that all students will benefit. Our Philosophy Department has already de- veloped a self-learning program for its students, which students can use on an individual basis at times convenient to them." The computer has a capacity of 8 mil­ lion characters of memory, 602 million characters of disc storage, a magnetic tape unit, and a 300-line-per-minute printer. It has the capability of perform­ ing over 7 million simple arithmetic operations per second and of reading or writing data on disc storage units at the rate of 14 million characters per second. This kind of speed, according to Nejib, "makes it possible for several users to have access to terminals simultane- LANDI, RAUB CITED National Alumni Association President James F.

What are the strengths of the institution? The weaknesses? What kind of image do we profess ... and project to the commun­ ity? What characteristics of the college appeal to current and prospective stu­ dents? Where will Wilkes College be five years from now? Ten years from now? If these questions Seem obvious — as they must to anyone involved in any way with the field of marketing, it is just as apparent that the answers to them are not so obvious. Such has been the feel­ ing of senior administrators at the Col­ lege for the past several years, during which time the prospect of a marketing study has been under consideration. As a result of the deliberation, the Long-Range Planning Committee listed the market analysis as one of the institu­ tional priorities for the 1983-84 aca­ demic year, and requested President’s Staff to make a decision if the study would be performed by College person­ nel or by an outside consultant. Two professional consulting firms, each experienced in the marketing of institu­ tions of higher education, were invited to the campus to make a presentation and a proposal. Although both presentations were impressive, with critical and construc­ tive comments along with some insight­ ful suggestions, the approximate $35,000 price tag on the first year of consulting hastened the decision to use the expertise already assembled on cam­ pus by asking a cross-section of faculty and administrators to serve on a Mar­ keting Study task force. Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, Dean of Exter­ nal Affairs, was named by President Capin to head the marketing study. Subsequently, six task forces were established to deal with the areas of Admissions, Publications-Communications, Student Retention, Financial Aid, Research, and Outcomes And Environment; chairs for the task forces include Dr. Walter Karpinich, Dr. William Sterling, Dr. Lester Turoczi, Dr. Virginia Nehring, Dr. Joseph Bellucci, and Dr. James Rodechko/Dr. Thomas Kaska, respectively. Much has already been accomplished by the various task forces. Since early October, the groups have been meeting to identify the kinds of data needed to accomplish their goals. Ms. Cheryl Scalese and the Office of Institutional Research provided chairpersons with a listing of the types of information already gathered along with recommen­ dations for additional data-gathering devices.

TOUGH Mr. Gilbert D. Tough, C.A.M., president and chief executive officer of Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, has been named chairman of the 1984 Wilkes College Alumni Fund Drive. Tough will assist the college in raising funds which will help Wilkes “Maintain Excellence Through Scholarships.” A 1956 graduate of Wilkes, Tough is a native of Lehman and graduated from Lehman High School, the Wyoming Seminary Dean School of Business, and the Penn State Extension Evening School, where he received an associate certificate in Surveying and Coal Mining in 1945. In 1973 Tough was designated a Certified Administrative Manager (C.A.M.) by the Professional Accreditation Commission of the Administrative Management Society. Tough was among the first one hundred executives in the United States and Canada to be designated a C.A.M. Tough has held several positions at Blue Cross, including supervisor of the accounting department, coordinating director, director of services, and vice presi­ dent of operations. In August, 1983, he was named president and chief executive officer. “I am very proud of my Wilkes degree in Accounting,” Tough stated, "and also proud of the fact that I earned the degree in the Evening College while holding a full-time work position. My own experience tells me how important it is that the College be able to attract and retain capable and deserving students by offering scholarships and other financial support to ease the burden of their educational costs.” "And we will rely upon the backbone of this Institution, the alumni, to provide an increasing share of the financial resources that the College must have to continue to serve its students with a program of excellence.” Active in numerous community organizations, Gil is an associate member of the American Management Association and the Administrative Management Society. He serves as a member of the United Way’s Finance Committee and is a member of PEG, Pennsylvanians for Effective Government. He resides in Lehman with his wife Vera. They are the parents of rwo children, Linda, and Gary who completed his B.S. in Business Administration at Wilkes in May, 1983. Other principals in the 1984 Campaign include Atty. Eugene Roth *57, Chair­ man of the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees, Harold "Jake” Trethaway, Chairman of the Community Campaign, and Beverly Hiscox '58, Vice chairman of the campaign and head of the Corporate Phase. The '84 Alumni Fund Appeal will consist of several letters and other direct mailings as well as the annual Alumni Phonothon scheduled for early 1984. The alumni goal for Campaign '84 has been set at $140,000. 1 �Marketing Study Underway Your Views Editor: (Continued from page 1) note that the 1982-83 Alumni Survey conducted by the alumni office was helpful to several task forces. Ms. Scalese is currently in the process of design­ ing another questionnaire which will be sent to recent alumni members during December. If you are one of those sur­ veyed, we hope you have already com­ pleted and returned the instrument to the Research Office. In addition to input from alumni, students, commun­ ity residents, and members of the Col­ lege Family will also be asked to provide information to the marketing study. It will be the responsibility’ of the Research Office to perform the neces­ sary analyses of the data, and to furnish each task force chair with that interpre­ tation and findings of significance, at which time the task forces will reassem­ ble to develop recommendations in the various areas. In describing the charges of the task forces, Dr. Kelly noted "Each task force has been charged with responsibilities to investigate a specific area of concern. In addition, the Outcomes and Envir­ onment Task Force, which is for the most part, philosophical in nature, will also look at those aspects of College life which influence enrollment management and which may not fall within the specific purview of other task forces, including image, morale, curricular requirements, student life, communica­ tion, parking, and physical facilities.” Kelly also noted that the results of the marketing study will be shared with all elements of the College family, includ­ ing alumni. While the current market study is scheduled for competition in Spring, 1984, with the final written report being presented to President Capin, it is recognized that ongoing stu­ dies to engage in continuous market research will undoubtedly continue in the future to enable the College to more effectively manage its enrollment. Hello! I think the change in the for­ mat of the Alumni Newsletter is good. However, the print is too small. This makes reading it very frustrating and straining to the eye. Hope you can adjust this for future issues - keep up the good work. Jean Cook Spanarelli ’67 Crofton, MD Editor: I received my copy of the ALUM­ NUS this past weekend and noted with sadness the sale of Chapman Hall and Parrish Hall to a private investor. I spent all four years at Wilkes in Chapman Hall, and as a Sociology major, was lucky to have many 8 a.m. classes right next door in Parrish. Of course living in Chapman also gave its residents the distinct honor of walking the greatest distance to the cafeteria, especially on long, cold, windy winter evenings. Being a campus "outpost” never inhibited its residents from campus par­ ticipation and we did what we could to be noted academically, politically and socially. I’m certainly glad I had the experience of living in that intimate lifestyle with a unique array of rooms and a charm that was reminiscent of the great coal mining days. I hope the build­ ing W*U be preserved. I’m sure all former women of Chap­ man Hall share my feelings in the loss of another legend, yet welcome the growth and expansion of the campus in other directions. It will always remain a part of the Wilkes Campus in my mind. An update on my whereabouts: My husband Patrick and I relocated to the Sarasota, Florida area a little over a year ago. I am presently Admissions Direc­ tor for Heritage Healthcare Center, a long-term care facility.

Best wishes to 3 �Presidential Search Narrows “The process through which a Col­ lege or University selects a new chief executive officer is necessarily an elaborate, time-consuming exercise,” according to Mrs. Patricia Davies, chairperson of the Presidential Search Committee charged with the awesome responsibility of recommending to the Board of Trustees that person who will succeed Robert S. Capin as president of Wilkes College. And if time and energy expended are any indication of the quality of that exercise here at Wilkes, we can rest comfortably knowing that Davies’ com­ mittee has devoted many, many hours following through their charge. The Committee consists of Davies, fellow Board of Trustees members Frank Henry, Arnold Rifkin, Mary Rhoades, and Richard Ross; Faculty representa­ tives Robert Heaman and Donald Hen­ son; national alumni president James Ferris; and student David Fife. The Committee has been guided in its procedures by a representative of Presi­ dential Search Consultants, an affiliate of the non-profit Association of Governing Boards of Colleges and Uni­ versities, of Washington, DC. And rather than taking the passive stance of simply receiving applications from interested individuals, this com­ mittee functioned as a true "search” group by actively seeking individuals and encouraging them to participate in the application process. As a result, the committee reviewed credentials of approximately 200 individuals during a series of some 10 to 12 meetings, and succeeded in narrowing the pool of applicants to about 20 persons. A further series of steps in the process resulted in the paring of that list to a group of “ten eminently qualified peo­ ple," all of whom are from outside the Wyoming Valley area. Those individuals will be brought to the campus, where they will have the opportunity to meet with various groups and individuals, including departmental chairpersons, committee representatives, and the entire faculty, and at the same time see, feel, and other­ wise get to know Wilkes College. It is anticipated that the Board of Trustees will ultimately select the next president of Wilkes College during the Spring semester. The work of the search committee has been conducted thus far with a very high degree of secrecy, so that only a minimal amount of information has been released by its members. In much the same way, President Capin has decided to withhold release of his plans until sometime after his successor is named, although he has indicated that he will not be with the College in any capacity during the first year of the new president’s tenure. Whoever is selected to fill the role of president of our institution, we know that person will be the best one quali­ fied to lead the College through a most crucial period in its development, and the Search Committee certainly merits our thanks for their diligence in meeting their responsibilities. 4 R.

Help "America’s Team” Through The Colonel Wrestling Club by Chuck Tharp ’69 Wrestling coach John Reese has been trying to do the impossible — compete on the Division I level with a Division III budget. Amazingly, he has been suc­ cessful against the megabuck schools like Penn State, Lehigh, Syracuse and Oregon State. He deserves an equal opportunity to recruit the blue chip athletes as his competition does. How­ ever, to offer the same scholarships as other Division I schools require a large amount of money. To help satisfy this financial need, the Colonel Wrestling Club has been formed as an independent non-profit corporation whose main goal is to pro­ vide scholarships. Although rhe pur­ pose of the dub is to raise money, the members receive many benefits for their donations. Currently, with a $25 annual dona­ tion - which is fully tax-deductible each member receives a free pass for himself and a guest for every home meet. Members have access to block seats for major away meets and the East­ erns. Coach Reese mails a newsletter several times a year to keep all members informed of team results. The Colonel Wrestling Club has several meetings - at least one social and a team dinner each year. This is a great opportunity to meet new members of the club and also the team. One of the intangible benefits for the members is the opportunity to become a part of Wilkes team’s success on a personal level. It is exciting for Wilkes, the smallest school in the nation to compete on a Division I level, to challenge larger and more heavily endowed schools, and WIN! If “America’s Team” is chosen because it is an underdog faced with unbeatable competition, then Wilkes certainly deserves that title. If you would like to help, please contact Coach Reese at the Wilkes Athletic Office to learn how you can become a member of the Colonel Wrestling Club. Won’t you give him a call today, or drop him a note for full information. JAMES A. HANAK wrote to teU us of the birth of a daughter, Alanna Marie, on October 5.

Bellairs welcomes back three year letterman, 6-5 senior co-captain Rick Sheaffer. Joining Sheaffer in the frontcourt are 6-5 sophomore Ken Yakobitis, 6-3 forward sophomore Dave Zapatocky and 6-4 sophomore Tom Allardyce. Providing depth at the forward and guard position are 6-4 sopho­ more Dave Piavis and 5-8 sophomore Mark Aguilar. The backcourt must be rebuilt due to the gra­ duation of Greg Hychko and the transfer of Jim Rodway. Among the newcomers expected to play prominent backcourt roles are senior transfer John Duesler (Duquesne) and freshmen standouts 6-0 Eric Jacobs (Easton H.S.) and 6-0 Bobby Collins (Wilkes-Barre G.A.R.). Expected to battle for starting frontcourt posi­ tions are freshmen 6-6 John Bracken (Allentown Allen H.S.) and 6-5 John Buis (Easton Notre Dame H.S.), an All-State honorable mention. The Colonels will tackle a 23-game schedule that includes 14 away contests. The team is involved in a tournament on January 6-7 at Washington &. Jefferson College. Wikes will visit 20-game winner Moravian College, a NCAA regional qualifier last season . . . the abbreviated home schedule is highlighted by games with East Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, inter-city rival King’s, and 1983’s NCAA Division III national champion Scranton University.

FOOTBALL , , . Coach Unsworth’s charges continue to improve, posting a 2-7 slate for the 1983 season. Ed Kennelly, Allan Roberts, Gerry O’Neill, Don Sparks, Mike Slepian, Rich Murray, and Tony Popple all played their last game as Colonels. Highlight of the season had to be the FDU-Madison game, which the Colonels won 3026 after trailing 20-6 at halftime. It will not take the Colonels long to get an indication of what they can do as their first three matches are against Oregon State, Navy, and Lehigh... the team’s top returnees include seniors Kurt Rowlette(14-4), Mark Correll (18-8-1), and sophomore Marc Sodano (41-8-2). The return of Gene Clemens (3rd place EIWA in 1979) has given the team a big boost in attitude. Top recruits include Glenn Whiteman (2nd PIAA State Tour­ ney, at 145), Tony Troyan (5th PIAA State Tour­ ney at Hwt.),John Cherry (3rd PIAA at 132), John Pauley (4th NY State Tourney at 105), Gary Lee (3 time District II, PIAA champ at 155), and Brandon Serratore (Region champ in PA at 119), who recorded a 39-1 season in his senior year. A very tough schedule lies ahead for the grapplers . . . top home matches include Oregon State, Navy, Temple, Penn State and Indiana State. Road matches are at Lehigh, Harvard, Princeton, Army-Rutgers, and the Virginia Duals (LSU, Wis­ consin, Missouri, Ohio State, and North Carolina). If the Colonels perform up to ability and avoid key injuries, look for them to be back in the top 20 after a disappointing 12-7 dual record last year.

Kelly ’69 Dean of External Affairs During my senior year at Wilkes Col­ lege (1968-69), I was fortunate to benefit from the Dr. Arnaud Cartw­ right Marts Scholarship. At that time I learned that friends and colleagues of Dr. Marts had endowed a scholarship in honor of his outstanding contributions to Wilkes College and American higher education. Since that time I have come to know in greater detail about the many other memorial and named scho­ larships which have been established by CAMPAIGN ’84 friends and alumni of Wilkes over the years. Such endowments have enabled friends and alumni to honor or memor­ ialize their loved ones in a way which will not only perpetuate their memory, but will assist capable and deserving students to complete their education at Wilkes. Over the years, although I was not obligated to do so, I have repaid my scholarship grant many times through my annual contributions to the Wilkes College Scholarship Fund. And during these years, I have been honored to work with individuals who have elected to establish similar endowed scholar­ ships at the College. I also have had great satisfaction in seeing those who have created the scholarships sit at our annual luncheon with the students who benefit from their generosity. This experience is a joy to both the giver and the recipient. At the present time, Wilkes College lists 58 named, endowed, and/or mem­ orial scholarships. Several recent addi­ tions include memorial scholarships created for the late Dr. Samuel Rosen­ berg, long-time chairman of the Com­ merce and Finance Department, and the late Miss Mildred Gittins, who man­ aged the Wilkes College bookstore for many years. These two individuals have touched the lives of many alumni, and for that reason, we want to present the opportunity for you to help enlarge these funds in their initial stages. Last year also witnessed the establish­ ment of scholarships to honor Presi­ dent Robert S. Capin and Dr. CHarles B. Reif. In both cases these were created by alumni who benefitted from interac­ tion in the classroom with Bob and Chuck. The endowed scholarships will provide annual support for students in accounting and biology, respectively. Toward the end of this article, I am listing the named scholarships at Wilkes College. It is our hope that alumni will provide gifts to these funds during the 1984 Annual Campaign. We also encourage you to think of these funds on those occasions when you consider sending a gift to a charitable (Continued on page 11) WILKES ..

Should I emphasize our truly secure source of life income, the Wilkes Col­ lege Pooled Income Fund, which has been earning in the 12% - 13% range? or perhaps, I should stress the tax advan­ tages of setting up one of our trust plans that could be just perfect for you? Maybe it’s time to tell about the medley of ways life insurance can benefit both you and your alma mater? I’ve talked so much about wills lately that I had better not get on that bandwagon again or Jessica Mitford will add me to another chapter in her book about the Ameri­ can way of dying. And then I keep wondering whether everybody out there knows that their real estate, secur­ ities, and collections might become even more valuable if tied into a Wilkes planned gift? On the last day I could write this column my problem solved itself, because some interesting figures crossed my desk. (Why do figures 10 always "cross” desks without ever seeming to stop there’) I decided you'd many years. Without them this College might not be in existence today. Nor do I wish to take away from the huge number of loyal graduates who support Wilkes every year ... by gifts they work hard to create. As Dart­ mouth College’s Vice president said, "Every gift is a major gift to the person who gives it.” Alumni who think enough of their college to support it annually, to the best of their ability, form the very base of our survival. And of course, as our statistics show, many of them will eventually grow into the farger gift categories so’esKnual to pri- sary Convocation address . . . "The strength of this institution has come from the faith of people who supported its purpose: to provide educational opportunities for young people of abil­ ity with the desire for personal better­ ment, and to assist the community which it serves.” A maven I am not. However, 79 brand new alumni donors of gifts in sizable amounts tells me Wilkes will not only continue to grow in excellence and stability, but with an ever-healthier root system to sustain itself. As director of planned giving, I needn’t add that those figures also tell me that there are 79 more alumni who may someday wish to create a deferred gift plan here, and who will certainly consider adding their alma mater to the bequests in their will­ making ... if only on a contingent basis. (You know, when it comes to giving some people stop at nothing. It’s nice to know that’s one "club” this esteemed new group will never join at Wilkes.)

Such gifts can be added to any endowed fund at the College in honor of or in memory of your friend or loved one. The College promptly acknowledges such gifts to the donor and to the family of the one in whose honor or memory the gift is made. We also hope you will consider, if circumstances permit, the establish­ ment of a scholarship fund in memory of or in honor of your parents, spouse, or a significant person in your life. Recently I have had the pleasure of working with an alumna, who, together with her family, is planning to memor­ ialize her mother who was a long-time employee at the College. In short, I see our named and memor­ ial scholarship program as a meaningful way to perpetuate the act of assisting capable and deserving students at Wilkes College while honoring and pre­ serving the memory of those close to us. We invite you to persue the following list and be part of establishing a fund or funds which represent something meaningful in yur life. We espe ‘ " □ecially encourage you to contact us in the _. le event you are interested in initiating an endowed scholarship.

Kilduff, Class of 1980 was received the other day. Before passing it along to her I enjoyed reading it myself. In so doing, I noticed the little item asking for any address changes for your alumni. Therefore, I am writing this letter to give you an update on Elizabeth (Pez as she was called by many of her classmates.) Since June 1980 she has been work­ ing at Middlesex General-University Hospital, the primary teaching hospital for the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Rutgers Medi­ cal School, on a surgical floor. She has recently transferred to the recovery room, and in light of this change, has just completed a critical care course. Needless to say, she has taken and passed her boards. So much for her professional career. Now on to her personal life. Elizabeth will be getting married in eight days, October 29, 1983. Her fiance is Ste­ phen Musial. That is the reason that I am writing to let you know of her change of address. Any future corres­ pondence should be addressed to her in Somerset, NJ. Corinne Kilduff Old Bridge, NJ Editor: I just wanted to tell you about the birth of our new daughter! She arrived on March 25, 1983. Her name is Kristen Irene. Kristen has an older sister Erin, who is now 414. My husband David is doing well. He works for a manufacturer of hotel and restaurant equipment and is their technical service representative for the western United States, and also Mexico and parts of Canada. I keep busy with the two children and am on the school board at Erin’s school. Our favorite pasttime is lying on the beach. Southern California definitely agrees with us! Thanks for the wonder­ ful updates on former classmates. It makes being so far away a bit easier. Please give my best to the folks in finan­ cial aid. 1 worked there during my years at Wilkes. Thanks again. Gayle Kollar Garubba ’77 Encino, CA 11 �Alumni Help Needed For Corporate Entred % z. la Marilyn Krackenfels Snyder ’62 Every institutional development officer worth his salt knows the "big three” of alumni involvement: recom­ mending the College to prospective stu­ dents through the Alumni Referral Process; assisting the Office of Career Services by identifying job opportuni­ ties for recent graduates; and support­ ing the institution financially by participating in the Annual Alumni Fund. These three avenues have cer­ tainly been well-traveled by Wilkes Alumni, and we are justifiably proud of the interest shown by our graduates in each of the areas. A fourth major opportunity for alumni awareness was recendy unveiled by President Robert Capin and Dean of External Affairs Thomas Kelly: the identification of corporate foundations which might be approached by Wilkes through a formal proposal. It was recog­ nized that many business organizations had such charitable gift offices or com­ mittees, and if entree to these offices or committees could be obtained, the Col­ lege could then present its case for support. Capin and Kelly then drafted a letter, targeted at alumni employed by organi- rations with "matching gift programs,” that is, any gift made to the College by an alumnus would be matched dollarfor-dollar with a corporate gift, and ask­ ing those alumni for advice. In Capin’s words, "... you may also be able to help the College in another important way. You may be able to provide entree for us to present a proposal to your corpo­ ration’s charitable gift committee.” Kelly reports that the responses to the inquiry letter have been most encouraging. "We have already heard from alumni with information on more than 20 organizations, each of which has some form of charitable giving. We are now analyzing the recommenda­ tions of our alumni and deciding on the best way to present our request for assistance,” he commented. One of the problems with the target group of the letter, however, is the reali­ zation that there are other organizations which do not participate in an alumni matching gift program but which do support either a foundation or a pro­ gram of charitable giving. It was felt that the most effective way to reach such alumni would be through the pages of the Alumnus. Consequently, your help is now being sought: Does the organization you work for provide such support? If the answer is yes, and if you know - or can identify - an individual in your company responsible for this area, you are encouraged to contact Tom Kelly in the External Affairs Office. Tom can be reached at 824-4651 from the local area, at 342-5617 toll-free from rhe Scranton area, or by using the College’s toll-free WATS numbers (800) 572-4444 from within Pennsyl­ vania or (800) 537-4444 outside of Pennsylvania. Tom also extends thanks to the following individuals who have responded to the original request for help: Carol J. Allen ’72, Andrew J. Gubanich ’71, Philip E. Howe ’69, and Stephen J.

About this Issue This issue of the Wilkes College Quarterly focuses on the 1983 Annual Fund Raising Campaign of the College. Similar to selected past issues of The Quarterly, including the 50th Anniversary Issue and The Presidents Annual Report Issue, our intent is to give you as much information about the College as possible while, at the same time, saving additional publication costs which would be otherwise incurred for separate printings of these special College publications. BOARD OF TRUSTEES OFFICERS An Interview with Wilkes College President Robert S. Capin TRUSTEE EMERITI Donald F. Carpenter Martha S. Diener Eloise W. Ehret Julia T. Faber Alan M. Glover Thomas H. Kiley Charles H. Miner, Jr. F. Ellsworth Parkhurst Max Rosenn Louis Shaffer /.' Like most private colleges, tuition XTlk at Wilkes only helps cover part of a students education. A portion of the difference is made up through funds secured in the annual campaign which assists us in providing scholarship assistance to capable and deserving students. A large percentage of Wilkes graduates have benefited from past annual campaigns ar the College. ' How Are the Funds Used That Are Raised in the Annual Campaign? Persons who support the annual campaign and/or other areas of the College help insure that Wilkes will continue to grow and prosper in the future. Knowing that you have helped worthy and deserving students obtain a quality education has its rewards. IA large portion of these funds are 4 A used to provide scholarship assistance as well as other financial aid needs to our students with some restricted gifts used to support other areas of the College. Of course, the students that benefit are the capable students that are in need of monetary assistance. i i . Who is asked to give to the \ < Campaign? Alumni, members of the College xA Family, friends in the community, parents of our students, corporations, foundations, and, in general anyone who benefits or has benefited from the existence of Wilkes College. Hoiv does a person benefit from the existence of Wilkes College? /A There are many ways. The XlL community benefits from the numerous cultural and educational programs open to them; corporations benefit as a result of securing our graduates for employment; alumni continue to benefit from their quality education and the growing traditions of their Alma Mater, and of course the economic impact of our institution on the community and the area is significant (see economic impact on page 14). I could go on and on. What are some of the ways in which someone can give to the College? There are many ways which -A jL range from monetary gifts to gifts-in-kind. On page 9 of this campaign issue we have listed numerous ways in which you may give to Wilkes. What is the difference between an annual campaign and a capital campaign? The annual campaign is designed " . to secure funds on an annual basis which will help students with their financial obligations at Wilkes. The CAMPAIGN ISSUE 3 �capital campaign is designed to raise substantial funds which support building projects or other programs requiring extensive outlays of funds. You may be interested in reviewing t e abbre\iated Glossary of Fund Raising Terms on page 14. xpfe How much money should an \ . individual contribute to the Annual Campaign? There are no restrictions. Any Jnk amount, large or small, is extremely helpful and greatly appreciated. Many people believe that if they cannot give a large sum of money then it is not worth giving. This would be a mistake. If someone contributes money to the Annual Campaign, does it have to be given in one lump sum? No. Payments may be made over an extended period of time convenient for the donor. Pledges paid in installments covering a twelve-month period are the most common. 7 What if a donor wishes to support Wilkes in the future, but cannot afford a substantial gift now? Fortunately, there are several ways a sizeable gift may be made during lifetime, with no loss of income to the donor, through our Planned Giving programs described on page 10. / Campaign '83 . . GOAL: $400,000 . meeting our annual scholarshin needs by filling the gap in financial aid for capable and deserving students. The 1983 Annual Scholarship Campaign for Wilkes College is of vital importance in this 50th Anniversary year. During these difficult times, community progress and betterment will depend upon the quality of leaders and scholars we can produce. Sustaining programs of high quality for deserving and capable students presents the College with one of its greatest challenges. As the College embarks on its second fifty years of community service, the signs of the times are ominous. Curtailment of state and federal funding, economic uncertainty, and increased financial pressure on families facing a greater burden for a college education means that some students will not be able to meet the monetary challenges. Friends and alumni like you will have to rally to their support! Tomorrow's community leaders and scholars are worthy of our support. Please help the College fill the gap in the financial aid packages for capable and deserving students. By responding positively to the 1983 Annual Scholarship appeal, you are helping our students, the College, and our community. We are depending on your generous support. Can donors have their gift(s) matched? If the donor is emoloyed by a Matching Gift Company (a listing of these companies can be found in this issue or by contacting the College Development Office) his or her monetary gift will be matched by the employer, thus substantially increasing the amount received by Wilkes. Sincerely, Roberts. Capin '50 President Wilkes College Campaign Leadership Frear H. Scovell Senior Vice President First Eastern Bank, N.A. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. "Every community depends on Mindpower.

Those differences in description were on the minds of the more than 250 local business, civic and judicial representa­ tives in attendance at the November sym­ posium on Japanese-American manage­ ment styles at Wilkes College's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Sponsored by Wilkes as part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the three-hour long presentation featured Joseph J. Pino­ la, a Wilkes alumnus and Chairman of the Board of the First Interstate Bancorp, Los Angeles, Ca., and Teruo Yonemura, a con­ sultant to Japanese firms doing business in this country and President of the Tokyo Businessmen's Club. The symposium, which included speeches, question and answer periods and a movie presentation, was presided over by Robert DeYoung, Associate Pro­ fessor of Economics at Wilkes. The topic of Japanese-American corpor­ ate relations was especially timely in light of recent political and financial develop­ ments in this country. Simply put, one of the situations being blamed for much of this country's poor financial health is the influx of lower-priced and better-built Japanese goods into this country, especial­ ly in the areas of autos and electronics. Professor DeYoung set the tone for the symposium during a brief summation of the history of events leading to the cur­ rent state of affairs between the two coun­ tries. Noting that since World War II, the once-devastated Japanese economy has managed to make the right decisions at the right time, he said, "The Japanese have not allowed frugality to succumb to gluttony, nor have they allowed vigor to become sloth." Pinola, who graduated from Wilkes in 1948, interspersed his remarks with fre­ quent references to his college days At one point in (he event, Professor De­ Young asked Pinola how the attitudes of labor and management in this country could be changed. "I knew if I came back here I would have to take some kind of test," he said. The basic thrust of Pinola’s remarks was that the gloomy picture of this coun­ try's economic landscape is due in part to government interference, a breakdown in the work ethic and unfair trade advan­ tages enjoyed by the Japanese. Although his views on the first two problems were not sharpened, his sugges­ tion for creating parity between the two countries in (he international marketplace Organizers and Participants of the Business Symposium include (left to right): Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, dean of external affairs at Wilkes; Dr. Howard Williams, associate professor of economics; Robert S. Capin, president of Wilkes; Pinola; Yonemura; and Mr. Robert DeYoung, associate professor of economics. hinged on economic retaliation against Japan. Yonemura, as expected, took a different stance. He called for more cooperation be­ tween the two countries, reminding the audience both in his speech and in a movie presentation that the Japanese con­ cept of doing business has been success­ ful. Furthermore, he reminded the crowd that Japan stands as a strategic political al­ ly in the eastern Pacific — an area where both Communist China and the Soviet Union pose a threat. Pinola offered a six-point plan of sugges­ tions for improving this country's eco­ nomic footing. Briefly that plan consisted of the following: — Restore the emphasis on research and development. As proof of its decline he cited the diminishing number of pat­ ents being approved each year in this country. — Restructure the organiratio of American industry. He cited Japanese seven-layered organisations in their auto industry while this country operates its auto industry with 12 layers of organisa­ tion. — Discard the traditional adversarial roles of labor and management. — Tie any reward to employees with performance. — Rebuild the financial foundation of this country by slowly balancing the budget and re-examining basic entitle­ ment programs. Yonemura, on the other hand offered his own six points on the Japanese system to explain its success. They are: — A workforce which has always be­ lieved in skilled craftsmanship. — An educational system that is intense in the fields of engineering and vocational skills. — The lack of law schools and business schools, a situation that Yonemura wryly hinted may be behind this country-s prob­ lems. — Good labor/management relation­ ships. — A banking system that works closely with the corporate world. — Few disruptions in the workplace ei­ ther through labor strife or employee ab­ senteeism. Of the dozens of questions fron the au­ dience aimed at the two participant per­ haps one of the more deliberate came from U.S. Third Circuit Court judge NLsx Rosenn of Kingston. Rosenn outlined the de velopment of Ja­ pan s success and the American trcuKe since the XVtitid War suocintiy cahing at­ tention to the governmental ex? ities and yregn-.ms that have aoocuntod :cr a change in this country s anhude. What can we do to shift gars? the federal butist asked c: Pinola. Pinola responded in a way that made full use ot the academic surroundings he was in. If a bank talks about the problems c: the country everybody thinks its propa­ ganda. If a lalvr union otters suggestions we dismiss it.

Degrees Earned (Year) (Degree) (Institution) Alumni Planning Career Shifts John Meyers, Director of Graduate and Part-time Undergraduate Programs re­ ports that many graduates of the College are taking advantage of the Alumni dis­ count to re-tool. Particularly attractive this year are the Nursing, Engineering, and Computer Science courses that have recently been added to the Evening Col­ lege as majors available to part-time stu­ dents. For the past several years, according to Meyers, alumni have been returning reg- I Current Position and Firm Previous Positions and Firms ularly to pick up the undergraduate pre­ requisites and the graduate courses for their Masters Degrees in Business Admin­ istration or to complete Masters Degrees in Education, Mathematics or Physics. Now, with the addition of these technical majors to the Evening College offerings, Meyers notes that a new population of alumni seems to be returning to the Col­ lege. Not confined to any particular field or age-group, these alumni are specifically looking to change careers, and many of them are enrolling in programs leading to a second bachelor's degree. Meyers advises that two things have pleasantly surprised the returnees. One is that graduates of the College can take un­ dergraduate courses at a cost pegged at 75% of the current undergraduate tuition. |Alumni also receive a discount of S10. per credit for graduate courses. | The sec­ ond is that courses and credits earned toward the first degree fit so well into the requirements for the second degree. For example, a student with a major in Eng­ lish or History might only need 50 credits to complete a second degree with a major in Computer Science. Alumni interested in returning to the College are reminded that the Spring Sem­ ester (1983) begins on January 17, 1983.

Professional Activities and Offices Awards/Honors Received Homecoming Award Named Publications Reason(s) for placing the candidate in nomination Continue on additional sheet(s) if necessary. 8 ALUMNUS The 1982 Homecoming Committee, under the chairmanship of John and Chris (Miele) Baron, honored the memory of Karolina F. Hahn by naming the best over­ all display or parade float award as the "Karolina F. Hahn Memorial Award." The award shall be presented annually to that residence hall or student organiza­ tion which presents the most outstanding homecoming display or parade float, as determined by a committee of alumni judges during the Homecoming weekend. This year’s award was won by the Student Center Board under the direction of Jay Tucker. Karolina was a native of Kingston, and earned the B.A. degree at Wilkes in 1976 *n Elementary Education. Prior to her death in September 1981, she was a mem­ ber of the faculty of the Wyoming Valley West School District, teaching at the Rut- ter Avenue School in Kingston. In addi­ tion to her membership in the Wilkes Col­ lege Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, she was very active in activities of the Wyo­ ming Valley Chapter of the Alumni Asso­ ciation, and served as one of the judges on the Homecoming Committee. Her brother Ralph earned the Master's degree at Wilkes in 1974 and her sister Virginia earned a B.A. degree in 1970 and a M.S. degree in 1972; Virginia's husband John also earned the B.A. degree in 1969 and the M.S. degree in 1972. To commemorate the "Karolina F. Hahn Memorial Award," the family re­ cently presented a plaque bearing her name to the College, which will be dis­ played permanently in the Alumni House.

Alumni Directory Reprinted After some fifteen months of planning, gathering, and organizing biographical in­ formation on our Alumni, the Harris Pub­ lishing Company recently published the "Golden Anniversary Edition” of the Wilkes College ALUMNI DIRECTORY. Both the work and the wait were well worth it, though, as the Directory has met rave notices from those alumni who pur­ chased a personal copy of the book. Each alumnus is classified in three sections: a biographical listing in alphabetic order lists all graduates of Bucknell Junior Col­ lege and Wilkes College through the Class of 1981; those same individuals are also listed in a geographic section indexed by state and post office. A third listing shows all members of the various classes at the College, through the Class of 1982. In his letter to the Alumni in the pre­ fatory pages of the Directory, President Capin acknowledges the accomplish­ ments of the members of the Association with his statement "The DIRECTORY contains certain proof of the breadth and diversity of influence that Wilkes and its graduates have already achieved in the so­ cial, economic, and political fabric of our Nation.” The truth of his remark is con­ tained on the following 229 pages of list­ ings which show alumni in each of the fifALUMNUS 9 �ty states as well as 34 foreign countries and U.S. possessions. Alumni who did not order a copy of the DIRECTORY during the telephone phase of the project, but who would like to do so now should contact Ms. Doreen Luff Customer Service Representative Harris Publishing Company 3 Barker Avenue White Plains, NY 10601 The copyright statement contained in the Directory notes that "This Directory is for official College and Alumni Associa­ tion use, and also for individual commu­ nication of a personal nature between members listed herein." Harris Publish­ ing assures us that copies of the Directory are made available only to Alumni, and the information is not released to other in­ dividuals or concerns. To maintain con- Anniversary Bail Scheduled Save the date of May 7, 1983 on your calendars — for that is the date of the 50th Anniversary Ball. A gala affair is being planned under the chairmanship of Bill Umphred '52 to cli­ max the year-long celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Col­ lege. Umphred is President of the Com­ monwealth Telephone Company, head­ quartered in the Wyoming Valley, and is a member of the Board of Trustees of Wilkes. The Anniversary Ball will be held in the Empress and Embassy Ballrooms of Gus Genetti's Best Western Motor Inn in downtown Wilkes-Barre (the site of this year's Homecoming dinner-dance) and will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, fol­ lowed by dinner at 7:30. Continuous dancing to the music of two musical or­ ganizations will take place from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Members of the Anniversary Ball Com­ mittee include members of the various elements of the College family: Jenny Centrella '74, John Chwalek, Campus Co­ ordinator of the Anniversary Committee, Betsy Condron '79, Mark '76 and Janine Pokrinchak '78 Dubik, Mahmoud Fahmy, 10 ALUMNUS trol over the integrity of the information a few fictitious names and addresses were placed in the Directory. If you feel that the information has passed into unauthor­ ized hands, perhaps indicated by mailings that you receive, you are asked to contact the Alumni Office or Harris directly so that the situation can be investigated. If on the other hand, you cannot find a Directory listing on a specific individual, that person may have asked to be omitted from the Directory. Any graduates who made that request are assured that their wishes have been followed. The Alumni Office plans to update the Directory on a regular five-year basis. As you read through the Golden Anniversary Edition, your comments and suggestions for improvement in content or procedure will be welcome. Please send them to the alumni office.

The Anniversary Ball will this year sub­ stitute for the annual spring dinner of the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the Alumni Association, so a good turnout of local alumni is expected. Randy Xenakis, direc­ tor of Public Relations and Publications, is in the process of assembling an anniver­ sary slide show which will contain a pic­ torial record of all the various activities and events held during the Anniversary Year celebration for those alumni who have not had the opportunity to be pres­ ent at the events. Tickets for the Anniversary Ball are S20 per person and can be ordered from any committee member or by contacting the Alumni Office.

FROM YOUR HOUSE. . . After several years of planning and ex­ pectation, the Office of Alumni Relations has taken up permanent residence at the Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House. The building, located at 146 South River Street, between Stark Learning Cen­ ter and the Conyngham Student Center, is the former home of first president Eugene S. Farley and his family. Shortly after Dr. Farley retired in June, 1972, the Office of Health Sciences, head­ ed by Dr. Ralph Rozelle, were located to the second and third floors, and the first floor was designated as a faculty lounge and alumni house. Both faculty and alum­ ni found the first floor to be a convenient area for committee meetings, fund-raising phonothons, luncheons, or just a quiet area in which to relax between classes. As part of the funding for Founders Hall, the J. N. Pew, Jr. Charitable Trust of Philadelphia, provided a grant which re­ sulted in the establishment of a Health Science Wing as part of the new residence hall. Dr. Rozelle and the Health Science Office moved into their new quarters in August 1982, thus paving the way for the Alumni Office to relocate from the third floor of Weckesser Hall, to the Evans Alumni House. The first floor of the Alumni and Facul­ ty House remains as public areas, with the three spacious rooms heavily used in­ to the evening hours. The rooms are also available to civic and community groups for meetings. We are happy to report that such groups as the Luzerne County Read­ ing Council, the Reymont Club, the Hano­ ver Township Women's Club, and the County Lawyers' Wives Club have used the rooms for their meeting place. The Office of Alumni Relations occu­ pies the three rooms on the second floor, with the back room reserved as a confer­ ence room, complete with blackboard, for various committees and individuals need­ ing a more private meeting area. The bank of telephone jacks have also been relo­ cated to the conference room, from which the annual alumni phonothon will be held. By moving the phonothon center to the second floor, the first-floor meeting rooms will continue to be available to campus and community groups even dur­ ing the phonothon season. The two rooms on the third floor of the building will eventually become guest rooms, thus allowing visiting alumni, cor­ porate recruiters, or College guests the op­ portunity to spend a night on campus at a nominal cost. This will be possible, how­ ever, only when the third floor can be brought into compliance with life-safety code requirements, which include the construction of external fire escapes, emergency lighting systems, and smoke/fire detectors, along with some re­ furbishing of the rooms and the bath­ room. Alumni who are interested in mak­ ing this a reality have the opportunity to "name" one or both of the guest rooms with a donation of 515,000 for each of the two guest rooms. These and other "nam­ ed gift" opportunities are explained else­ where in the campaign section of this is­ sue. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morgan of Lehman, Pennsylvania recently donated an AM-FM receiver along with a record player and cassette tape player to Wilkes for use in the Alumni House. The Morgans, longtime friends of the College, indicated their happiness in being able to repay the College for some of the service and value it has performed for the community over the past fifty years. Receiving the sound equipment on behalf of Wilkes College was Mr. Richard Raspen (left), director of alumni relations. Alumni and friends have already begun helping the Alumni House acquire fur­ nishings and equipment which will help make the building a warmer, more com­ fortable place, but for which items fund­ ing was not included in the College budg­ et. Upon hearing of our desire for a stereo sound system to provide background mu­ sic in the house, for example, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morgan of Lehman gra­ ciously donated an AM-FM receiver along with a record player and cassette tape player. The Morgans, long-time friends of the College, indicated their happiness in being able to repay the College for some of the service and value it has performed for the community for the past fifty years. Another of our desires was a color tele­ vision set for the first-floor front lounge, but again, the funds were not in the budg­ et. The 1982 Homecoming Committee sold chances, at SI each, for the prize of the game football which was used in the Wilkes-Trenton State homecoming game. The ball, which was autographed by the Colonel footballers and their coaches, was won by Steve Sadowski, who is with M. W. Wood at our Food Service. The pro­ ceeds from the game ball chanced off at halftime realized a profit sufficient to pur­ chase a console television set, which will be donated to the Alumni House in the name of the 1982 Homecoming Commit­ tee. Other items in our "shopping list" of needs for the Alumni House include a mi­ crowave oven for the convenience of fac­ ulty and other users of the building, new lounge furnishings for two first-floor lounge areas, sets of table lamps for those rooms, book collections for the book­ shelves in the front lounge, a new set of draperies for the first floor, and so forth. While there is not a sense of urgency in acquiring these items, they would certain­ ly help to dress up "our house”. . . ATTENTION GOLFERS The Alumni Association is planning for a "southern golf swing" to a golf resort in North Carolina set for early Spring. The trip will coincide with the Spring class break, and will depart from Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, March 6 and will return the following Saturday or Sunday. Depending on the size of the response, a bus coach may be chartered, thus relieving golfers of the tiring drive to the south. To the extent that space is available on the bus, we could arrange to make stops along the route to pick up golfers who reside be­ tween Wilkes-Barre and North Carolina. Alumni who reside close enough to the golf resort and who prefer to meet us there would be able to take advantage of the low group rate which we are now neg­ otiating. Further information will be gathered shortly, but we would like to get an estimate of the number of individuals who would be interested in making such a trip. Women and men are equally wel­ come, so contact the Alumni Office for further details about time of departure, costs, and the location of the golf resort which will be ultimately chosen. ADMISSIONS REFERRAL PROGRAM One of the most effective ways that alumni can help the College is in the iden­ tification of prospective students through the Alumni Referral Program. Dr. Jerry Wuori, Dean of Admissions, reports that referrals of prospective students have in­ creased each year since the program was set in motion, and encourages alumni to continue referring friends and relatives in their local areas. While special referral cards are available, Jerry reminds alumni that they can simply jot down names and addresses of high school juniors and sen­ iors and mail those notes to the Admis­ sions Office, where each student will then be contacted on an individual, personal basis. Another way in which alumni can assist in the admissions process is to host a "Get Acquainted With Wilkes" reception at their homes. For example, if the Admis­ sions Office has received six applications from students at Westfield (New Jersey) High School, an alumnus in Westfield would invite those applicants and their parents, perhaps, to a Sunday afternoon reception at the home of the alumnus. In this way, the prospective students would have the opportunity to meet Wilkes grad­ uates in a social setting and discuss vari­ ous aspects of the College with them. Again the College would perform the nec­ essary clerical functions in preparing the invitations, mailings, local publicity, and so forth. Officials from the College would also be on hand during the afternoon or weekday evening to talk with the prospec­ tive students. Alumni willing to perform this service for Wilkes should contact the Alumni Office. Alumni Survey Underway The Office of Alumni Relations, assisted by the Of­ fice of Institutional Research at the College, is in the process of surveying a random sample of BUJC and Wilkes Alumni. The survey instrument was mailed in early December to approximately 1,500, or 10% of the total graduates of the College. Those graduates were selected from the total alumni file by the com­ puter. The purpose of the 1982-83 Survey is to determine demographic characteristics of the alumni, along with attitudes of alumni toward such items as alum­ ni activities, the QUARTERLY, and fund-raising ap­ proaches. If you are one of those alumni selected to take part in the survey, you are assured that none of your responses are personally identifiable. We are interested only in gathering summary information about your current status and your feelings for the College and the Alumni Association. Your participa­ tion in the survey, however, is especially important considering the fact that your response also repre­ sents nine other alumni whose names were not sel­ ected by the computer. As responses are returned to the Alumni Office, the data will be coded and fed into the computer for tabulation and analysis. The results of the question­ naire will then be published in a future issue of the QUARTERLY for the information of all alumni. If you received a survey instrument and have not yet responded, please do so as quickly as possible: we need your input and advice on the various issues raised to better serve the entire alumni body, o ALUMNUS 11 �d sport HHIMlWH by Philip Wingert -------------------------------------- Football Team Snaps Losing Streak The football team snapped its 16-game losing streak on November 6, when it convincingly defeated Farleigh Dickinson University of Madison, 45-6. The losing streak dated back to November 13, 1980 when the Colonels defeated Susquehanna University, 9-7, closing out the 1980 campaign. At the time, the 16-game losing streak was the longest losing streak in NCAA Division III. First-year head coach, Bill Unsworth commented after his first collegiate win, "Our win over FDU was by a score similar to those defeats suffered by FDU at the hands of our conference's football Latini Captures National Title Beth Latini, a 17-year-old freshman at Wilkes, recently captured the American Amateur Racquetball Association's National Women's Open Doubles Championship held in Federal Way, Washington. Latini and her partner, Tammy Hajjar, a sophomore at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY, had captured the 1982 Pennsylvania State Doubles Championship Women's "A" Division, earlier this year. The duo's opponents in the finals were two local Washington women. Playing in front of a partisan crowd, the match was even after the first two games (21-9, 11-21) but Latini and Hajjar captured the third game tie-breaker, 11-6. Winning the national championship qualifies the ladies for the North American Zone Competition in Montreal in March and also qualifies them for the 1983 World Games, held in Munich, Germany, in August. Latini, a biology major, is a member of the Lady Colonels volleyball team. A native of Wayne, PA, she attended Archbishop John Carroll High School. She is the daughter of Tony and Nancy Latini. 12 ALUMNUS powers. This is an indication that can play good football." The 4-5 points amassed was the highest poing total by a Wilkes team since the 1969 season, when the Colonels beat Dickinson College, 49-0. The team has set two single game offensive records: most passes attempted at 46 versus Susquehanna; and most passes completed with 22 against Delaware Valley. A new individual game record was established by senior quarterback, Wayne Lonstein, when he attempted 38 passes against Trenton State. Now that the "monkey" is off the team's back, Unsworth and his staff will continue to build their program with the most important win under their belt — the first one. 1983 Wilkes College Spring Sports Schedule BASEBALL — Bob Duliba, coach Sat.

Wingert holds a Masters Degree in Athletic Administration from Virginia Tech and a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education from the State University of New York at Cortland. Following his graduation from Cortland State, Wingert served as Director of Athletics and as a physical edcuation instructor at Middleburgh Central School in xMiddleburgh, NY. Wingert has coaching experience at both the college and high school levels. Last year he served as assistant soccer coach of Virginia Tech's Division I program. o Art Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and resident expert on Broadway, announces that the annual Theater Week­ end has been set for March 18-20, 1983. For just S68 per person, the weekend in­ cludes round-trip bus transportation from Wilkes-Barre to New York City and two nights lodging at the Edison Hotel (two persons per room) and baggage handling (one bag per person). Interested individuals are asked to send a non-refundable $15 deposit to Art as soon as possible — make checks payable to Wilkes College. Art also advises that theater tickets should be written for — or arranged now. As has been the case for the past several years, it is again likely that the trip will be an eventual sellout; Art reminds us that the cost of the trip would be much higher without the bene­ fit of the group rate which he arranges.

Regional Receptions Planned Attention Floridans — Watch your mailbox for notices of win­ ter receptions planned for the central east­ ern (Orlando-Winter Park-Lakeland-Cape Canaveral), South Eastern (the Miami areas — Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale), and western (Tampa-Clearwater-St. Petersburh-Sarasota) areas of Florida. An addi­ tional reception may also be held in the Palm Beach-Delray Beach area. Other Areas — In our Fall round of regional receptions, gatherings were held — or are planned — in various locations. In Baltimore, for ex­ ample, a group of staunch football fans took in the Wilkes-Johns Hopkins contest, then reassembled for a dinner meeting that evening. Alumni in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania (Allentown-Bethle­ hem-Easton) enjoyed the 50th Anniver­ sary slide show and a dinner reception. With the extent of our various regions, however, it is not possible for the elected Regional Vice President to arrange local get-togethers accessible to all alumni, so you can help in this effort. For example, the dozen or so Alumni in the Phoenix, Arizona area could organize a reception in their area by just contacting the Alumni Office and expressing their interest in such a reunion. The Office will gladly handle the clerical duties of mailing the announcements to the alumni, and will even "Wilkes-up" the party by sending banners, souvenirs, and other decorations and informational materials for the occa­ sion. Small-group receptions can be held at the home of an alumnus, or if the group is larger, arrangements can be made for a meeting at a local restaurant. Your inter­ est and local knowledge is of vital impor­ tance. What a perfect chance to spend some time reuniting with fellow alumni and relieve the winter doldrums at the same time! Call or write the Alumni Of­ fice for more details. Crossword Puzzle Reminder Remember the Wilkes College Crossword Puzzle that you received during the sum­ mer? The Public Relations Office has al­ ready received hundreds of completed puzzles from alumni and friends of the College! If you have not yet completed your puzzle you still have time (until Feb­ ruary 28, 1983) to send yours in as a possi­ ble prize winner ... If you did not receive a puzzle (or you lost the original one) send to the Wilkes PR Office for another one. Good Luck! A PAGE FROM THE PAST . . .

CAMPAIGN ISSUE 11 �Corporate Giving The Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit Program Created by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1967, the Neighborhood Assistance Program allows businesses to take tax credits on state corporate taxes when they contribute money or other resources to programs which help needy people, famihes, communities or non-profit institutions. The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Wilkes College has recieved approval to participate in this year's tax credit program. Gifts by corporations, banks, savings institutions and insurance companies in support of the SBDC qualify for a Pennsylvania tax credit equal to 50% of the gift. Additionally, the entire amount of the gift may be deducted in the usual fashion. The Wilkes SBDC provides valuable assistance without charge to entrepreneurs and those involved in small businesses. For additional information on the Program contact the Wilkes College Development Office at (717) 824-4651. Jljkl 1I hi Ignite it with your match. . . . Double or Triple Your Gift to Wilkes!

Here are some examples: • Wilkes College employees are paid in excess of $5,500,000 annually; • Services by independent contractors amount to $1,600,000 per year; • Utility bills amount to more than $750,000 each year; • Students spend approximately half-amillion dollars in the Wyoming Valley each year; • Campus visitors add another $200,000 annually for local businesses; • Maintenance materials purchased locally add another $300,000 each year to the local economy; • Over the past 15 years the College has poured back into the local economy over $15,000,000 through refurbishment and renovation programs as well as new building construction; • The Wilkes College annual budget currently stands at $14,500,000. Wilkes College is proud of its tradition as a strong liberal arts college and the role it plays as a major economic catalyst to our area. 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY VVILKES COLLEGE Character: An independent, coeducational liberal arts college. History: funded as Bucknell University Junior CoUege in 1933 and chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvanta as a fully independent private four-year institution in 1947. Policy: Wilkes College is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action college and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin, or handicap. Location: Wilkes is located in the historic Wyoming Valley of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Nestled on the banks of the Susquehanna River, the campus is located in downtown Wilkes-Barre, a small city of 51,000 population. Located only 140 miles from Philadelphia, the campus is surrounded by mountains in all directions which rise abruptly to some 2,000 feet in altitude. With their forests, lakes, streams, state parks and game lands, they offer a wide array of possibilities for outdoor recreation. Campus: The Wilkes campus is comprised of an architectural blend of stately 19th Century buildings and the newest and most imaginative of modern structures. A number of buildings have been built within the last 15 years, while six of them are on the Pennsylvania Register of Historic Places, and four are on the National Register of Historic Places. Enrollment: For the 1982-83 Academic Year Wilkes has a Full-time undergraduate enrollment of 1,950 students with a 52:48 male-female ratio. Part-time undergraduate enrollment is approximately 750 students with „“ate indents numbering over 300.

Students can also develop a "minor" by taking six to eight courses concentrated in a single discipline. Upon graduating from Wilkes, students are prepared — sometimes in a highly specialized way — for their first entry into the job market. The emphasis at Wilkes, however, goes well beyond that first career choice. United States Department of Labor studies show that the average person undergoes three major career changes in a lifetime. Wilkes, therefore, is committed to the kind of curriculum which will instill the vision, tolerance, imagination, and adaptability needed not only for the first career choice but for possible later ones as well. While training has become increasingly important in today's labor market, it is really education in its finest sense — that commitment to the values, ideas, and ideals contained in the literature, histories, philosophies, and sciences which constitute the The Academic Program: boundaries of human wisdom — which makes up the "training" necessary for The formal course of study at Wilkes is a creative and fulfilling life. distributed over three major areas.

During that period of time many friendships have developed and long-lasting relationships established. During the five decades of educational service, the College has been sensitive to the needs of the students and the community. To be effective, the College has, during this period, expanded its programs, strengthened its curriculum, maintained a strong faculty and made a continuing commitment to the students and community it serves. While change is necessary to keep in step with the times, Wilkes College has not changed the one thing it has offered since 1933 — Quality. Wilkes College ... a special place with special people.

Each academic year since 1979, the Office of Admissions has asked the Alumni for their assistance in identifying and referring outstanding high school students who would be interested in Wilkes College. Because of these valuable contacts, we are able to acquaint many students, who would not otherwise know about Wilkes, with our programs. Each referred student is sent an information packet and an invitation to tour our campus and meet with admissions representatives and faculty. According to our current records, 81 applications from the 630 referrals received for the class entering last fall were processed. Thirty-four of the 81 who applied for admission enrolled at the College for the fall of 1982. This statistic reflects a 42 percent yield from the time of application to the time of enrollment. This is considered by admissions professionals nationally to be an excellent indicator of alumni support. This year's campaign is currently underway, and referral cards have already been received by ARP members. Any contacts, whether they are immediate family members, close friends, or even outstanding students cited in local newspapers., represent possible Wilkes referrals. Recently, the second phase of ARP was initiated. Included in this phase is the selection and preparation of alumni to attend college information programs where they can meet with interested parents, students, and guidance counselors. As the Admissions Office continually seeks to expand its recruitment area, the need for alumni support in the recruitment of prospective students increases each year. The ARP seeks to meet the need for such expansion. In the spring of 1982, a small group of interested alumni was invited to participate in the second phase of ARP. Then, in September, a training session was held for this group. Included in the on-campus seminar were financial aid availability and programs, admissions 4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY criteria, and ^“llTdlwlong session activities available.

Barbara Welch, assistant to the Dean of Admissions, and ARP coordinator, is looking forward to implementing p three of the program which will be centered around receptions in various geographic areas, giving students in that area the opportunity to meet with Wilkes alumni. Interested alumni who wish to participate in any phase of the ARP encouraged to contact Mrs. Welch directly for further details.

EDWIN NEWMAN IS GUEST SPEAKER FOR ROSENN LECTURE SERIES Edwin Newman, veteran news correspondent for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), was the featured speaker for the second Rosenn Lecture Series in Law and the Humanities, held at the Center for the Performing Arts. With 31 years of experience as an NBC correspondent, there is very little that Newman has not done in the field of broadcast journalism. Whether reporting from a foreign country, anchoring documentaries that span an entire evening of prime-time television, doing instant news specials devoted to late-breaking news events, or delivering a weekly essay on the TODAY program, Newman has consistently demonstrated his versatility as a journalist. In addition to anchoring fast-breaking stories, such as the attempted assassination of President Reagan on March 30, 1981, he has earned the coveted Peabody Award for his radio commentaries in 1967. In 1975 Newman was granted the first exclusive interview ever given a journalist by the Emperor of Japan, and a year later he was moderator of the Ford-Carter presidential debate. The Rosenn Lecture Series was established in 1981 by the family and friends of the Honorable Max Rosenn, Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals. Last year, the initial lecture in the series was presented by Pulitzer Prize-winner Anthony Lewis, columnist for the New York Times.

THE WILKES CoLLEGE CONNECTION FOR 24-HOUR INFORMATION ON WILKES COLLEGE EVENTS 717 826-1135 SUMMER 1983 7 �New Beginnings at Sordoni Art Gallery By: Jane Manganella September of 1982 was a month of beginnings for Judith O’Toole. She and her husband Kevin, a sculptor, moved from State College to Wilkes-Barre; they bought a home (and studio for Kevin); they moved in and immediately started to renovate and ... in addition to all of this, Judith started her new Job as Director of Wilkes’ Sordoni Art Gallery. She remembers it was “a little crazy, we bought an old house, with all this potential, but which hadn’t been totally rehabilitated since the Agnes flood. There was crumbling plaster everywhere. I wore the same suit to work almost every day because I didn’t want to unpack until it was safe." In spite of all the inconvenience, Judy said it was “the house we wanted, it was close to campus, and most important, it had a twocar garage that Kevin could transform into a studio." Time passed quickly for the new director. In just eight months, she handled seven exhibitions, as many receptions, worked with the advisory board to the Gallery, and is currently doing a major catalog of the paintings of Pennsylvania artist Severin Roesen. “I've been busy, but I’ve enjoyed it. When I arrived in September, good relationships with major museums and galleries were already established, which is a nice situation to find in a new position. I’m very excited, too, about the coming year. We’re already working on a major exhibition (Carl Sprinchorn), scheduled to open in October.” Challenge is something Judy seems to enjoy. This is obvious when one looks at her resume and considers the fact that she is not yet thirty years of age. Judy graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in Art History in 1975. From 1976 until 1978, she taught at Penn State’s WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY “This beautiful, distinctive curve that was the clown popped right off the paper at me.” main campus and managed, during the summer of 1977, to spend three months in Paris in the University’s Graduate Study Abroad Program.

My father teaches American Studies at the University of Illinois and would always offer comment or history on works as we toured, it was never a lecture situation, just interesting facts. Even as a child I was very comfortable with art, and very interested in it.” Another of the things that happened last September was the publishing of an article by Judy for The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art, entitled “Ibels and Seurat: An Attribution Confirmed.” This, though, was an end rather than a beginning for her. It was the culmination of a nine-month search by Judy to prove that a charcoal drawing, “The Circus,” which had been attributed to Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was really the work of Henri-Gabriel Ibels (1867-1936). “I’d chosen Ibels as the subject for my Master’s thesis, and the research for that had me looking through catalogs for months; my mind was really saturated with this fellow’s images." One of her favorite figures was a clown from a color lithograph by Ibels called “Au Cirque." She continued, “One day my advisor, George Mauner, called my attention to a copy of Seurat’s ‘The Circus,’ which had been used for the cover of a catalog to open a new wing at the Cleveland Museum. This beautiful, distinctive curve that was the clown popped righ off the paper at me. It had to be the Ibel’s clown from ‘Au Cirque’.” .

I wore the same suit to work almost every day because I didn't want to unpack until it was safe.” In spite of all the inconvenience, Judy said it was “the house we wanted, it was close to campus, and most important, it had a twocar garage that Kevin could transform into a studio.” Time passed quickly for the new director. In just eight months, she handled seven exhibitions, as many receptions, worked with the advisory board to the Gallery, and is currently doing a major catalog of the paintings of Pennsylvania artist Severin Roesen. “I’ve been busy, but I’ve enjoyed it. When I arrived in September, good relationships with major museums and galleries were already established, which is a nice situation to find in a new position. I’m very excited, too, about the coming year. We’re already working on a major exhibition (Carl Sprinchorn), scheduled to open in October.” Challenge is something Judy seems to enjoy. This is obvious when one looks at her resume and considers the fact that she is not yet thirty years of age. Judy graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in Art History in 1975. From 1976 until 1978, she taught at Penn State’s “This beautiful, distinctive curve that was the clown popped right off the paper at me.” main campus and managed, during the summer of 1977, to spend three months in Paris in the University’s Graduate Study Abroad Program. From 1978 until 1982, she was Research and Cultural Assistant to the Penn State Museum of Art While serving in that capacity she was project director for documentation on the Roesen paintings, and somewhere between 1980 and 1981, she was awarded a grant from the nstitute of Museum Services (Department of Education) to prepare research on the WeaXd collection- yve asked Judy how she and mar^ tlme t0 meet and marry, it was rea)| convenient,” she said smiiin„ “Kevin taught in the same department, we courted at i She also added that Kevin , l?cti." works in his studio all day p 0 day (works are primarily don«ery wood, with painted surfaces) ■Cl not at all impressed with her i'S of achievements. “In fact h ISt thinks I’m not ambitious enn„ u about my writing.” U9tl Reflecting on her accomplishments, she said -t me art is not really work as mu°ch as it is just part of my life mv n parents would save all year so that we could visit every museum and gallery possible when we went on family vacations. My father teaches American Studies at the University of Illinois and would always offer comment or history on works as we toured it was never a lecture situation just interesting facts. Even as a child I was very comfortable with art, and very interested in it.” Another of the things that happened last September was the publishing of an article by Judy for The Bulletin of the Cleveland Museum of Art, entitled “Ibels and Seurat: An Attribution Confirmed.” This, though, was an end rather than a beginning for her. It was the culmination of a nine-month search by Judy to prove that a charcoal drawing, “The Circus,” which had been attributed to Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was really the work of Henri-Gabriel Ibels (1867-1936). “I’d chosen Ibels as the subject for my Master’s thesis, and the research for that had me looking through catalogs for months; my mind was really saturated with this fellow’s images.” One of her favorite figures was a clown from a color lithograph by Ibels called “Au Cirque.” She continued, “One day my advisor, George Mauner, called my attention to a copy of Seurat’s ‘The Circus, which had been used for the cover of a catalog to open a ne wing at the Cleveland MuseumThis beautiful, distinctive curve that was the clown popped n9 off the paper at me. It had to be the Ibel’s clown from 'Au Further investigation led to the fact that the attribution to had been questioned before, no one had done any resea ______ X! ________ ♦ in fact, d WILK j WILKES COLLEGE • WILKES-BARRE « PENNSYLVANIA 18766 The following Class Notes were compiled by the Office of Alumni Relations from infor­ mation received through March 31, 1983; announcements of such events as births, deaths, marriages, earning of degrees, ad­ dress or employment changes should be sent to the Alumni Office, Wilkes College, P.O.

About a year ago, the Alumni Association was success­ ful in reaching an agreement with the Avis car-rental company providing for group membership rates for alumni. We received such a positive response from the alumni toward this service that we re­ cently expanded the discount plans so that they now apply to Hertz and Nation­ al in addition to Avis.

Capin announced recently that the Board of Trustees has approved an 8.6% tuition in­ crease for the 1983-84 academic year. The below national average increase means that Wilkes students will pay $5,050 for tuition to attend the college. Room and board fees will be increased by $180 to $2,540 for the year. Tuition, room and board will be $7,590 next year as compared to $7,010 this year. "We are very sensitive to the difficult economic times which face each and every one of us," said Capin in making the announcement. "We have trimmed our increase from 11% this year to just over 8Vz% next year by maintaining tight fiscal controls over the overall operation of the College. While our intent is to keep our increase as small as possible, we rec­ ognize a responsibility to maintain sound fiscal and academic programs which pro­ vide our students with the highest quality of education." HOMECOMING ’83 . . . JOHN and CHRIS (MIELE) BARON, who co­ chaired the 1982 Homecoming celebra­ tion, have agreed to accept the responsi­ bility for our 1983 celebration as well. So clear the weekend of September 29-30, October 1 on your calendars and plan to join us for another outstanding event. This year's weekend will feature the golf tourney and weekend warmup on Friday evening, parade, varsity athletic events, and the dinner dance on Saturday, and the famous brunch on Sunday morning, along with many other events that you won't want to miss. The Committee is just now forming, and we are looking for new members. So if you have been want­ ing to get involved with the Alumni Asso­ ciation. just call the Alumni Office and ask that your name be added to the Homecoming Committee. And if you have ideas for improving the attractive­ ness of the weekend, be sure to let us know what they are — if we have missed an event that would attract alumni back to campus it is only because we didn't think of it, not because we are not willing to offer it So call us with your ideas and .■ ’■ ’.'thingness to work as a Homecom­ ing Committee member. alumni/admissions connec TION . . .

Again, we handle all the nec­ essary clerical functions such as prepar­ ing the invitations, mailings, local publici­ ty, and so forth. We ask you to provide the location for the social, as Phil and Carol so generously did in Mercerville. SPRING REGIONAL EVENTS ...

Nearly 200 local Wilkes Alumni and their guests attended a spe­ cial dinner-theater program on campus on February 25 and 26. Because of the in­ itial response, the buffet dinner, original­ ly scheduled for the Alumni House, was moved to the College Dining Hall so that more people could be comfortably ac­ commodated. As reservations continued to come in for a sold-out Saturday pro­ gram, Dottie Carroll of the Theater staff arranged for another block of seats for the Friday performance of "Merrily We Roll Along," Stephen Sondheim's musi­ cal. Following the performance by Wilkes students, the alumni groups reas­ sembled at the Alumni House for a social hour. While this had been a once-a-year event, because of the interest shown by Wyoming Valley Alumni, the program will now be offered in both the Fall and the Spring. Further information about next year's offerings will be mailed as soon as the Theater Department firms up its 1983-84 schedule. ALUMNI HOUSE GIFTS . . .

The Community Phase of the campaign reported a suc­ cessful attainment of its goal at its April 7 meeting — let us, as Alumni, show the Community the spirit of our commitment to Wilkes College by responding before May 31 when the current Campaign ends. To the Alumni who manned tele­ phones, to those who worked as ambas­ sadors in the community phase, and to those who contributed — thank you! Part of the Wilkes tradition is the willing ac­ ceptance of responsibility, just like family members also share responsibilities, and we appreciate your continued help and interest. CONNECTION 24hOUR information °N WILKES COLLEGE EVENTS 717 826-1135 �CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS SUBMITTED At the Annual Meeting of the Associa­ tion on October 8, 1982, the President and the Executive Committee received the report of the Constitution Commit­ tee chaired by Regional Vice President Arthur J. Hoover. The report contained a number of revisions to the current Con­ stitution of the Association, along with the recommendation of the Constitution Committee that the proposed amend­ ments be offered to the Association for adoption. President Ferris and the Executive Committee approved the proposed amendments at its March 12, 1983, meet­ ing, and instructed the Alumni Office to submit the amendments to the Associ­ ation in the next issue of the Wilkes Col­ lege Quarterly and include a return card for the membership to vote on the amendments. In reviewing the sugges­ tions offered by the Executive Commit­ tee, the Constitution Committee chose not to study ARTICLE VIII - RE­ GIONS AND REGIONAL VICE PRES­ IDENTS because of the need for addi­ tional review and input concerning the current distribution of members of the Alumni Association.

ALUMNUS 7 �News of Florida Alumni by Betsy Bell Condron Did you know Wilkes has about 200 alumni liv­ ing in Florida? Betsy Bell Condron, of the Develop­ ment Office staff, was our ambassador there in Feb­ ruary and this is her report about some of those she visited in the Sunshine State. Dr. RAYMOND PIRINO '61 runs a very busy dentist's office in Orlando. (A lady in his waiting room told me he is the best dentist she's ever heard of!) Ray was from Kingston and his wife from Han­ over Township when they attended Wilkes, but after a stint at an Air Force base in Florida, Ray decided to locate in the sunny south. Two sons and a daughter later, the choice seems to have been a good one for the Pirinos. Ray has warm memories of Wilkes, with special respect and affection for Chuck Reif. His parting words were to urge Dr. Reif to visit EPCOT and Ray'd take him bass fish­ ing. An advocate of the importance of a Liberal Arts base in one's college studies, RICHARD EVANS '75 earned his CPA right after graduation. (He’d gained valuable internship experience working in a local firm during college.) Rich has done well in business oriented jobs leading to his present role as Controller for Bari of Florida, but says he learned to appreciate music and became a voracious reader at Wilkes, thus bettering the overall quality of his life. He cited many professors including Capin, Tern', and Tyburski as positive influences for him. A high school graduation present from his grand­ parents, a “trip to Florida,” was thrilling for this Nanticoke boy who had never left the Valley . . . and created the wish to live in the Tampa region. Both Rich and Glen Lyon's PAM SCHINSKI EVANS '77 thrive in Orlando. Pam got her MBA from Wilkes and puts her data processing back­ ground to good use as Manager of an electronic data placement center and counselor to others who seek jobs in this field. Pam's sister Gail is a current student at Wilkes. Another Tampa Bay-Orlando area graduate, ROBERT ADAMS 74 (and MBA 76) lauds Wilke: for the depth and breadth of his learning. He reeled off many teachers who had helped him along ’he way (Werner, Engel. DeYoung, Capin, William' etc.) and found his education to be super­ ior to his colleagues. My teachers and counselors 8 ALUMNUS like George Ralston were always available - what an asset!'' Charlotte Lord's and Chuck Reif's classes were experiences he raved about. Originally from Texas. Bob landed at Wilkes because his wife had family in northeastern PA. Bob is President of the highly successful Bin and Shelving Company in Orlando which has just moved into larger quarters. The Adams have two daughters and live in a new home in Winter Park. A former Wilkes Education professor, Director of Alumni Affairs, and '62 graduate, Dr. RICHARD T. REES is enjoying the challenge of heading up the fast-growing Lakeland Regional Medical Center's hospital education department. Rick has a large staff under him and was most enthusiastic about the programs they implement. Florida seems to agree with Rick, Linda, and their two children who are involved in a variety of great activities. I also had the pleasure of visiting with one of Wilkes' esteemed Faculty Emeriti, Dr. RUTH JES­ SEE, former head of the Nursing Department. Dr. Farley brought us the best when he talked Ruth Jes­ see into leaving Philadelphia and coming to Wilkes to set up our brand new degree program, which soon became a star in the college crown. Dr. Jessee lives in a lovely apartment overlooking a spectacu­ lar view of Clearwater and the Gulf of Mexico, In spite of some past illness and failing eyesight, she is spirited as ever and looked just as pretty as I'd re­ membered her when she left Wilkes-Barre about 10 years ago. The Eugene Hammers, Doris Barker, and John Chwaleks are among those who keep in touch with her. Talk about entrepreneurs . . . Wilkes certainly has one in its ROGER ROLFE '66. Although his investment business at Dean Witter Reynolds' stun­ ning building in Clearwater keeps him plenty busy, Roger has a number of other interests. Among them is ''the hottest new restaurant to hit Clearwater in over 2a years.'' according Io the Cuisine Column in a monthly magazine I brought home Io show toger s friends here. It is Brassy's on Island Estates where Roger s "financial know-how" and his laienls a; a "connoisseur of fine wine and food" are Wilkes ...... 5 a> a BloIW major and then after a few years doing Market Research in New York, he r turned here to graduate in Business. Dr. Micheli and Bob Capin were especially helpful as coun­ selor-teachers. Roger had a variety of positive job moves in the north; then he and his wife, Sheila travelled through Europe for a while (with no home address); and went to Florida in 1972 . . . from which point was launched his successful stock brokership. Other Wilkes graduates who moved around a bit before locating in the Miami-Pembroke Pines area are SHIRLEY BARODY MYERS '58 and THOMAS MYERS '58. Tom's journalist jobs in Williamsport, Miami and Cocoa Beach preceded his current role as Senior Writer for Eastern Air­ lines. The Myers have three children and love Flor­ ida living, although they return to Wyoming Valley families and Wilkes Homecomings frequently. Shirley is a Media Specialist in Piper High School, a modern, exciting institution she showed me through. (She'd even talked to the guidance counselors about Wilkes and I met them, too.) Shir­ ley would be happy to arrange an alumni club gathering in southeastern Florida, so give her a call if you'd like to help out. Each of the graduates I visited is genuinely inter­ ested in forming a Wilkes alumni group in the Sun­ shine State. They suggested ways to help the Col­ lege and provide a pleasant, social outlet at the same time. The members might meet annually in someone's home; provide resource information for the increasing number of Wilkes graduates moving to the area as strangers; help the Admissions Office by attending high school College Nights and con­ tacting area students interested in Wilkes (I talked to a half dozen of these 12th graders); and, in gen­ eral, strengthen our ever-growing alumni base across the country. Wilkes has much to be proud of in the enthusias­ tic, intelligent, articulate and personable alumni I talked to in Florida . . . just as they are proud, and vocal, about their beloved alma mater. PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH COMMITTEE AT WORK LOOKING FOR CAPIN'S SUCCESSOR Jim Ferris, president of the Na­ tional Alumni Association, wants to let all alumni know that he is hard at work with the Presidential Search Committee, seeking candi­ dates for the vacancy which will oc­ cur when Bob Capin leaves office in June, 1984. Patricia Davies, chairperson of the search committee, and Jim would be happy to receive nomina­ tions from any member of the alum­ ni who may know of a qualified candidate.

HENR1GABRIEI. IBELS. tn Orqw. 1892. Color Lithograph SUMMER 19S3 9 �Wilkes provides link for students seeking careers in Allied Health Professions by Philip Wingert by Randy Xenakis “Our new affiliation with Temple University’s College of Allied Health Professions is not only a natural for Wilkes, but will also prove to be a tremendous service to Wyoming Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Wilkes College President Robert S. Capin following the announcement recently of the affiliated health science agreement with Temple University. The new Wilkes-Temple program will give students interested in physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical technology and health records administration, the unique opportunity to spend two years at Wilkes followed by two years at Temple where they would ultimately receive their bachelor of science degree in their chosen specialty. Dr. Ralph Rozelle, dean of health sciences at Wilkes, says the new program, much like the WilkesHahnemann Medical College affiliated program offering established in 1973, will provide special opportunities for our students and for our region. “This affiliation with Temple will enable students to have excellent training in the areas of physical and occupational therapy while enjoying the best of both worlds,” says Rozelle. “Students can take their first two years here at Wilkes taking advantage of the benefits of a small, private college before taking their final two years at Temple which will provide quality training through its major medical center.” With more jobs than applicants, careers in physical and occupational therapy are becoming very attractive to college-bound students. According to Rozelle, the allied health profession provides both financial and personal rewards to those entering the field. “Records indicate that graduates in these fields are earning beginning salaries which start in the low 20’s," Rozelle says. "Personal rewards are found daily through working with handicapped patients and those who require rehabilitation services." 10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Students accepted into Optometry include (seated, L to H.) Mary Ellen Judge. Swoyersville; Hildy Strongwater, Allentown; John Stacnacz, Dickson City; Michael Benyo, Horseheads, N.Y.; Steven Reto, Pen Argyl; George Ogren III. Mifflinburg. (Standing, L. to R.) Dr. Joseph Bellucci. professor of education; Kenneth Savitski, Throop; Mark Radziewicz. West Hazleton; Martin Storbeck, West Milford, N.J.; Howard Hartzell III, Mifflinburg; and Dr. Ralph Rozelle, dean of health sciences. Also accepted was Steven Demko of Drums. l I I / 1 In addition to good starting salaries and excellent job placement, careers in allied health provide for good working conditions as well as job security. Graduates usually practice their profession in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, clinics, and, in some cases following several years of experience, private practice. Like the Wilkes-Hahnemann Program, Wilkes has linked itself with Temple's Allied Health Program to provide health care professionals to Northeastern Pennsylvania — an area which traditionally suffers from a low supply of physical and occupational therapists. Dr. Mary Lee Seibert, dean of the Temple University College of Allied Health Professions, is pleased with the new program. “We are looking forward to working with Wilkes College in this affiliated program which will give us the opportunity to provide for Wyoming Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania quality Those students accepted into Podiatric Medicine are: (seated, L. to R.) John Raineiri. River Edge, N.J.; Raef Fanmy, Dallas; and Josepn Biancarelli, Jessup. (Standing, L. to. R.) Dr. Josepn Bellucci, professor of education; Scott McGrath, Scranton; Patrick Dwyer.

Our ultimate goal in this venture is to attract more qualified health science students who can, in turn, be placed within your community to strengthen and maintain the health services in Northeastern Pennsylvania." In addition to the affiliated Allied Health Program, Wilkes and'Temple have combined to offer local students affiliated programs in pharmacy and dentistry. In other health science-related fields, seventeen students recently have been accepted into affiliated professional schools. Six were accepted into Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine and eleven into the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. o BELLAIRS ANNOUNCED AS NEW MEN'S VARSITY COACH Bart Bellairs was named the new fulltime head basketball coach at Wilkes in early March at a press conference held in Weckesser Hall. Bellairs takes over for Jim Atherton who served two years as a part-time head basketball coach. Bellairs was an assistant with the Colonels the past two seasons, and has over five years' experience as a college coach on all three divisions of the NCAA. A Richmond, Kentucky, native, Bellairs previously held the junior varsity head coaching position at Lycoming College and also served as an assistant with the Western Illinois University basketball program. As for my philosophy, I believe strongly in emphasizing character buildmg. I hope to get our players involved in a couple of community projects and implement high moral values in practice and games," said the owT’0W Bellairs.

F Freshman Marc Sodano pinned Princeton's Dave Crisconti at 118 pounds in the consolation finals to earn his trip to the nationals. Kris Rowlette, a 126-pound senior, earned a 2-2, OT 1-0 decision over Cornell's Mark Harbold to gain his second trip to the nationals in as many years. Mark Correll finished fourth at 177 pounds and Lenny Nelson finished sixth at 142 pounds. In the national tournament, Sodano and Rowlette lost in first-round action. The number five seed, Popple, won his first two matches but lost to the number four seed, Jim Heffernan of Iowa, 7-6, in the quarterfinal round. Popple's hopes of achieving All-American status were lost when he dropped a 5-1 decision to Wes Gasner of Wyoming in the consolations. Popple, considered one of Wilkes' greatest wrestlers, finished his career with a 70-15-2 collegiate record. Other graduating seniors include Lenny Nelson (66-20-6), Kris Rowlette (47-29-1), Pete Creamer (63-26-0) and Mark Troutman (41-34-1). LATINI WINNER IN INTERNATIONAL PLAY In early March, Beth Latini, a Wilkes freshman, participated on the United States racquetball team at the North American Zone Competition in Stockton, California. Latini and her partner Tammy Hajjar, a sophomore at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, defeated the women's doubles teams from both Costa Rica and Mexico to win the championship at the International Amateur Racquetball Federation's 1983 American Region Games. The zone competition was the first ot its kind between teams from the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica. A native of Wayne, the biolog)- major is a member of the Wilkes women's volleyball and softball teams. WILKES' HURST NAMED MAC ALL-STAR Wilkes College women's basketball standout Charlene Hurst has been selected as a first-team All-Middle Atlantic Conference player for the second consecutive year. Hurst, ranked 12th nationally in scoring last year as a freshman, scored 354 points during this year's 10-9 season, averaging 18.6 points per game. She led the team in field goal percentage (.530), was second in free-throw percentage, second in assists, third in rebounding and third in scoring. Against MAC opponents this year her .555 shooting accuracy from the field was the sixth best in the Conference. The 5’8" guard has started every game for the Lady Colonels over the past two seasons, and has scored 723 points to rank sixth on the All-time Wilkes Women Scorers' list. At this year's Wilkes Letterwomen's Holiday Tournament, Hurst was selected the most valuable player for the second year in a row. "Charlene has had two outstanding seasons for us. She is one of the most well-rounded players in Division III," explained head coach Nancy Roberts. Hurst, a sophomore elementary education major, is active in the letterwomen's club, serves as a student assistant in the sports information department and is a second-year member of the softball team. The daughter of Charles and Ann Marie Hurst of Wilkes-Barre, Charlene is a graduate of Bishop Hoban High o School. SUMMER 19S3 11 �L. EDWARD HOPPER Farmhouse at Essex.

The new facility, which is used both for teaching and faculty research, is housed in a custom-designed ultra­ clean environment in order to meet the design tolerances and specification necessary for the fabrication of modern semiconductor devices. The heart of the laboratory is a complete semiconductor processing area with facilities for wet chemistry, oxidation, photolithography, diffusion and ion implantation, the key elements necessary for the manufacture of microelectronic chips. In addition, the laboratory supports a fully equipped test area which enables characterization of the Your Bequests Your Legacies on other facilities available in our department. This will provide both academic and research excellence the necessary to attract high technology industry to our local economy." Wilkes College is only one of a few undergraduate institutions in the United States to support a facility of this type. Adjunct Professor Vince Osadchy and Assistant Professor Gary Dolny, faculty in charge of the Solid State Laboratory, feel that the new additions will greatly enhance their already existing capabilities. They note that graduates of this program will have the necessary experience to enter the semiconductor industry immediately upon graduation. The engineering department at Wilkes College has worked closely with leaders in the industry in developing the new laboratory. Nejib notes in particular the donation of sophisticated equipment and supplies provided by the RCA Solid State Division located in Mountaintop, PA. It is expected that this close association will continue in the future to the mutual benefit of both the industry and the college.

As the 50th Anniversary year draws to a close, Through the years he year was 1936, Bucknell Junior ColI ’lege in Wilkes-Barre was just three 1 years old, and already in financial difficulty. The fledgling College was operating as a satellite of Bucknell University in Lewisburg. It was really no surprise that the young school was in financial straits, in fact, to many, it was a surprise that the school had survived its first three years. When the idea of a junior college was introduced in 1933, it was done with reserve. People were of the opinion that neither the economy nor the area could sup­ port the venture. By 1936 it seemed those opinions were justified. The unemployed constituted about 18% of the population and there was little evidence of hope or help for the anthracite region of Penn­ sylvania. Coal was being replaced by oil and gas and the Northeast was not then equipped to search for new industry. It seemed bad tim­ ing for the establishment of an institution of higher education, especially in an area where almost all would be first generation college students. The outlook was bleak and the media pre­ dicted the demise of the new school. But some­ thing happened that year, something that has become tradition. The College and the com­ munity joined in a concentrated effort to make “Ungs happen. A fund-raising effort aimed at . eeping the school open was initiated. Almost immediately, gifts of cash and property were eing given. The community wanted its Cole8e ■ • . The College dedicated itself to the community. The relationship is constant. rhe Junior College remained open, and in 947 was granted the charter creating the foury.ear- coeducational, liberal arts institution christened Wilkes College. we reminisce . . by Jane Manganella There were periodic rough spots during the early years which did not disappear with the granting of a charter. But, Wilkes not only weathered these times, it managed to grow in­ to the viable resource that now has great economic and social impact on the region which helped it grow. A recent study indicates that students from the area spend approximately half a million dollars a year in Wyoming Valley. Campus visitors spend an additional $175,000 annual­ ly. Materials purchased by the College locally amount to another $175,000 and utility bills alone constitute another $600,000. The study shows that over the last fifteen years, Wilkes has been able to pour back into the communi­ ty over fifteen million dollars, through refur­ bishment, renovation and new building con­ struction. Equally important as economics, is the cul­ tural and social impact generated by the various programs which have surfaced over the last fifty years. So many of these programs started as college-community affiliations as need was recognized by either the College or members of the community. Personnel from the College work in almost every off-campus event: the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, the Fine Arts Fiesta, Community Concert Series; YMCA/YWCA events; Jewish Community Center events. Under the sponsorship of stu­ dent government the Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series has become one of the out­ standing cultural arts presentations for the area. The series offers a diverse program of educational and enriching programs to both campus and community, free of charge. The facilities on the Wilkes campus are probably the best graphic example of how, during the early years, the community sup­ ported the College in its efforts to survive. Names on buildings throughout the 23-acre campus are testament to the memories of those who gave so much to the school: The Sordoni Art Gallery, in memory of Andrew Sordoni, referred to by Dr. Farley as "a constant friend and benefactor;" the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts and Darte Hall, the music building adjoining the CPA, both structures made possible by the quiet gener­ osity of Mrs. Darte; Stark Learning Center, in memory of Admiral Harold R. Stark. The list goes on: Weiss, McClintock, Evans, Weckesser, Kirby, Conyngham, Roth, and so many others who gave not only financially, but gave of themselves. These facilities are used daily by both cam­ pus and community people to enrich and edu­ cate or to house students.The Sordoni Art Gal­ lery brings to the area 12 exhibitions a year in all media. The stage of the Darte Center for the Performing Arts will this year welcome not on­ ly Wilkes presentations but will be the place where hundreds of community productions and events will be shown. Today, 50 years after its tenuous beginnings, Wilkes College is facing another of its rough spots, in an economic atmosphere akin to that of its early years. However, in a recent address to the media, President Robert S. Capin voiced a definite difference in attitude. He said, in part, "Wilkes will survive, of that there is no doubt." Under Capin’s leadership, in a time when many small colleges are closing their doors, Wilkes is currently on sound financial ground. The early doubts, the fears, the ten­ uous start have been replaced by confidence. Now as Wilkes celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is apparent that the community still wants its College... The College is still dedicated to its community. o SUMMER 1983 15 �ore than 13,500 students have passed through the halls of Wilkes College over the past 50 years. During that period of time many friendships have developed and long-lasting relationships established. During the five decades of educational service, the College has been sensitive to the needs of the students and the community. To be effective, the College has, during this period, expanded its programs, strengthened its curriculum, maintained a strong faculty and made a continuing commitment to the students and community it serves. While change is necessary to keep in step with the times, Wilkes College has not changed the one thing it has offered since 1933 — Quality. Wilkes College ... a special place with special people. There is no better way to prepare for tomorrow. Wilkes College 5 0 Providing MINDPOWER through Five Decades . . . and Beyond.

Conyngham, chairman of the Wilkes College Board of Trustees has announced, on behalf of the College gov­ erning board, the appointment of Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth as the fourth President of the College. Breiseth, who will assume his presidential post in June, 1984, will succeed Robert S. Capin, who has served as President of Wilkes since 1975. Breiseth, who served for three years as president of Deep Springs College in Cali­ fornia, a select two-year liberal arts col­ lege, currently serves as Professor and Chairman of the History Department at Sangamon State University of Springfield, Illinois. He received his B.A. degree in History with highest honors from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1958. In 1962 he received the B. Litt, de­ gree in Modern British History from Ox­ ford University, and in 1964, his Ph.D, in Modern European Intellectual History from Cornell University.

The pres­ idential search committee, under the di­ rection of Mrs. Patricia S. Davies, is to be commended for bringing to Wilkes and the Wyoming Valley a person of Dr. Breiseth's stature in the educational field." "We look forward," Conyngham con­ tinued, "to working with Dr. Breiseth as the College embarks on its second fifty years of service to the Wyoming Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania." Prior to becoming a member of the Sangamon Stale University faculty in 1971, where during his tenure, he served as chairperson of the. history program, the faculty senate, and the faculty budget committee, Breiseth spent eight years at Williams College in Williamstown, Mas­ sachusetts. At Williams, the Minneapolis, Minnesota, native served as an assistant professor of history and director of stu­ dent activities. From 1967 to 1969, the 47-year-old edu­ cator worked for the Office of Economic Opportunity in Washington, D.C., serv­ ing as chief of the policy guidance branch for the Community Action Program. A UCLA Phi Beta Kappa, Breiseth has compiled numerous writings and has authored several publications, including "Lincoln and Frederick Douglas: Another Debate;” "George III and Abra­ ham Lincoln Face the Rebels;" "Compe­ tency and Cooperation: A Pilot Pro- * gram;'' and "Reshaping the Past: History Curriculum, Competency Education and the Contemporary World." Active in community service, Breiseth served as co-director of three summer in­ stitutes on interracial education for Springfield (Illinois) school teachers and administrators between 1972 and 1974. Breiseth is married to the former Jane Morhouse of Ticonderoga, New York; they have three children: Abigail, 15, Erika, 13, and Lydia, 3.

WINTER SEASON RECAP WRESTLING - The Grapplers finished with a 13-10 dual record, their 29th con­ secutive winning season. Marc Sodano (118), Doug Billig (126) and Tom Jamicky (158) participated in the NCAA Wrestling Championships. Top performers included Sodano, 17-4; Billig, 18-5; Jamicky, 16-6; and Mark Correll, 17-2. Senior Kurt Rowlette was named Wilkes' Open Out­ standing Wrestler. Six losses came at the hands of teams ranked in the top 20 dur­ ing the year. MEN'S BASKETBALL - Under firstyear coach Bart Bellairs, the Colonels concluded a 7-16 season, 3-10 in the Mid­ dle Atlantic Conference. Senior Rick Sheaffer set two school records: most points in a single season, 569; and most field goals scored in a season, 233. His 1102 career points rank him 12th on the all-time scoring list. He was selected to the All-MAC Northern team and finished the year 12th nationally in Division III scoring with a 24.7 ppg average. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL - The Lady Colonels wrapped up a 14-8 season after getting off to a 9-1 start. Senior Kim Smith (1309 pts) and junior Charlene Hurst (1096 pts) both reached the 1000 - career point plateau. Junior guard Deanna Kyle led the team in scoring, 487 points and a 6 22.1 ppg average. She ranked nationally in scoring, field goal percentage (.640) and free throw percentage (.800). Kyle was selected to Kodak's All-Region team and named All-MAC. SPRING SPORTS OUTLOOK BASEBALL — With a 30+ game sched­ ule the Colonels appear to be solid in the hitting department and few in pitching arms. Senior Ken Sorick, 1982 All-MAC, returns wi(h a 400 bat(ing average; RBrs and 4 home runs. Other .300 hilt litters . include Dave Orman, John Good, and Dave Kerdesky. Four of the nine returning lettermen were members of last year's hurling crew that ranked 6th nationally with a 3.15 ERA. Coach Bob Duliba's ace should be basketball star Rick Sheaffer who had a 3.20 ERA in over 45 innings last year earning a 3-3 record. SOFTBALL - Coach Nancy Roberts re­ turns five letterwomen from last year's 10-4-1 Northwest League champions. Hit­ ting and fielding should prove to be Wilkes' strength led by sophomore sensa­ tion Michelle Zawoiski. As a freshman shortstop, Zawoiski led the nation in home runs, triples and RBI average. She batted .357 with 8 homers, six triples and 25 RBI's. With the loss of pitching superstar, Sue Schwartz, Roberts must find a good, reli- able pitcher in order to make this year's group a contender. GOLF - Six lettermen return for Rollie Schmidt. Heading the list is junior captain Jeff Tbkach. The two-year letterman turned in the fifth best score at the 1983 MAC championships. Schmidt evaluated this year's incoming group as the most tal­ ented and experienced in years. The team will be looking to improve last year's 7th place finish in the 20-team MAC champi­ onships. TENNIS - Second-year coach Dave Smith continues in his effort to build a solid program. Once again freshmen dominate the scene and are expected to hold down three of the top six single posi­ tions. 1984 Wilkes College Spring Sports Schedule 1984 TENNIS SCHEDULE DAVE SMITH - COACH 24 29 31 'Juniata Ursinus Moravian HOME HOME AWAY 1:00 3:00 1:00 APRIL TUesday Thursday Saturday Monday Thesday Friday TUesday Wednesday Friday Saturday MARCH Saturday Wednesday TUesday Thursday 17 21 27 29 3 5 7 9 10 13 17 25 27 28 Scranton 'Susquehanna •Elizabethtown 'Albright 'Lycoming King's Scranton Muhlenberg King's MAC HOME AWAY AWAY HOME AWAY HOME AWAY AWAY AWAY 3:00 . 3:00 1:00 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:00 3:00 APRIL TUesday Wednesday Saturday Monday Wednesday Saturday Tbesday Thursday Saturday 3 4 7 9 11 14 17 26 28 •MAC Match MAY Wednesday cSaturday -‘-—'-y 1984 BASEBALL SCHEDULE BOB DULIBA - COACH MARCH Monday 26 Bloomsburg Wednesday 28 Scranton APRIL Sunday Tbesday Thursday Saturday Sunday Monday Thursday Saturday Monday Wednesday Monday TUesday Thursday Saturday MAY Wednesday Saturday ‘MAC Games 1 York 3 King's 5 ‘Elizabethtown 7 ‘Susquehanna 8 Oswego 9 Muhlenberg 12 ‘Albright 14 Delaware Valley 16 Bucknell 18 Scranton 23 Moravian 24 ‘Dickinson 26 King's 28 Juniata HOME HOME (DH) AWAY HOME AWAY HOME HOME HOME AWAY AWAY AWAY AWAY AWAY HOME AWAY HOME (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) 2 East Stroudsburg HOME (DH) 5 MAC Championship Western Maryland Bucknell Mansfield Misericordia 'Elizabethtown Scranton 'Juniata King's ESSC ‘Susquehanna Marywood LCCC Upsala AWAY (DH) T.B.A. HOME 2:30 HOME 3:00 3:00 HOME (DH) HOME AWAY HOME HOME HOME AWAY AWAY HOME AWAY (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) (DH) 2 Delaware Valley HOME 5 MAC Championship HOME ‘3:00 3:00 2:00 3:30 3:00 11:00 3:00 3:00 2:00 3:00 3:00 'MAC Games 1984 GOLF SCHEDULE ROLLIE SCHMIDT - COACH 3:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 3:00 1:00 1:00 T.B.A. 1:00 3:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 1:00 MARCH Thurs. 29 Lycoming/Ursinus White Deer G.C. 1:00 APRIL Thurs. 5 Mon. 9 Thurs. 12 Mon. 16 Wed. 18 Thurs. 19 TUes. 24 Thurs. 26 East Orange C.C.

I think the group which finally chose the name WILKES COLLEGE for our new, four-year educational institution made a wise decision. The name not only connects us with the major area we were seeking to serve, but it also stands for a prime principle under which we are fortunate to live. The education we receive from y/jLKES COLLEGE ensures our freedom for learning and for growth. How do you recall your WILKES expe­ rience? Is it a warm recollection of a time and place such as John Nossal's? Is it a kaleidoscope of memories beyond the _____ i . i ■» . necessary but cold statistics itof GPA, course credits, and degree awarding? Does it signify something intangible such as the ideals which John Wilkes stood for in the 18th century and which John Nos­ sal beautifully expressed in the third quarter of the 20th century? Does WILKES COLLEGE represent a better life for you, your loved ones, your community? Another graduate spoke of his college years as a "mortgage on life that I’ll never be able to repay". Perhaps that's what WILKES COLLEGE means to you... and speaking as a development officer here, I know your financial and volunteer sup­ port will go far to lessen the debt!

Name Address Phone, �A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY ONLY FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF WILKES COLLEGE I® The Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House A signed and numbered (S/N) limited edi­ tion pointillist graphic . . . perfect for home or the office. ''The Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House" depicts in detail a pointillist graphic of the building which served as the presidential resi­ dence of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the original home of the Health Sciences Office, and now serves as the Alumni/Faculty House. Pointillism is a post-impressionist art form exemplified by Seurat and his fol­ lowers in the late 19th century France. The method is characterized by the appli­ cation of ink in small dots to create a blending illusion. ABOUT THE ARTIST... William O. "Bill" Williams was born in Sayre, Pennsylvania, in 1932. Because his father was employed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, travel for the family was fre­ quent, and he attended nineteen schools before graduating from high school in Jer­ sey City, New Jersey. Even as a child of five, Bill felt a need to draw with dots, al­ though it was not until much later as an adult that he learned the name of his unu­ sual artistic technique: pointillism. A Korean veteran of the U.S. Air Force, he attended St. Francis College in Brook­ lyn, and finally Hobart College in Ge­ neva, NY. As a talented self-taught artist, Williams has been on many television shows to discuss his unique style, and he draws full-time as a professional artist. Specializing in buildings and unusual ar. chitectural structures, Williams has drawn the Golden Gate Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, the Empire State Building, and many other state and county buildings, including the State Cap­ itol in Harrisburg. Here in the Wyoming Valley, Bill has drawn the Luzerne County Courthouse, the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, the skyline of WilkesBarre as viewed from the West Side, and now the Annette Evans Alumni House. Bill exhibits his works regularly, and it is not unusual for an original pointillist work by him to require in excess of four hundred hours of intense drawing effort. AN OFFERING... The Alumni Association commissioned Bill Williams to provide us with the origi­ nal signed graphic and 200 signed and numbered graphics of the Alumni House, to be used as a fund-raiser in conjunction with the Alumni Fund campaign. While the edition will not be offered for ’ . alumni ' ' and friends of the College sale, can obtain a graphic (S/N) by pledging $ 100 or more to the 1984 campaign in ex­ cess of the pledge made to the 1983 cam­ paign. The image size of the graphic is 23" x 14" unframed; for framing pur­ poses, the overall size is 25 " x 16". Each graphic will be shipped via United Parcel Service at an additional cost of $5 per graphic. In view of the limited supply, all pieces are subject to prior commitment, and will be issued on a first-come, firstissued basis, by the date of receipt of pay­ ment of pledge. No further signed and numbered graphics will be issued as the original work of art will be retired. The original signed graphic is offered to the alumnus/alumna m friend of the Col­ lege who first pledges $1,000 or more to the 1984 campaign in excess of the pledge made to the 1983 campaign. The image size of the original is 16" x 26 " un­ framed; for framing purposes, the overall size is 20"x30".

If the efforts of a small group of Chem­ istry alumni from the Class of 1970 come to fruition, the College will add yet another named scholarship to the list, of those already appearing in the Bulletin. Dan F. Kopen, a general and vascular sur­ geon from Kingston, PA, along with Jo­ anne Levandowski, a chemistry teacher with the Wilkes-Bane area school dis­ trict, conceived the scholarship as a me­ morial tribute to David Findora, a fellow Chemistry graduate with the Class of 1970, who died January 1, 1984. Kopen recently sent a personal mailing to other members of the 1970 Chemistry class, asking for their support over the coming five years. Dan's letter was so well-written, and is sufficiently universal to apply to other members of the Class of 1970, regardless of major as well as to other Chemistry majors, regardless of year of graduation, that it is worth repeat­ ing verbatim: "You may know that one of our Wilkes College classmates, Dave Findora, died a tragic death on New Years' day of this year. At the time of his death, Dave was employed by the U.S. Department of En­ vironmental Resources, as a lawyer in the division devoted to the preservation of our nation's wetlands. "Many of us remember Dave as a class­ mate who always pulled his own weight, who was an asset both to our class and to the College, and who was a reliable per­ sonal friend. Over the nearly fourteen years since our graduation, Dave and I kept in touch on occasion. I know through our conversations during that time that Dave held a fond place in his heart for Wilkes College and for the peo­ ple he knew while we were students at the College. "It is my feeling that it would be appro­ priate for us, as the Chemistry Class of 1970, to provide a lasting tribute to Dave in the form of an endowed scholarship in his name, and I invite you to join me in this most worthy endeavor. "What I propose is that we seek to en­ dow a DAVID J. FINDORA MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP, to be awarded on a yearly basis to a junior- or senior-level chemistry major who best exemplifies the characteristics of teamwork and reliabil­ ity as judged by the Chemistry Faculty in conjunction with our class. The details of the selection process can be worked out in the future. "According to the College's develop­ ment officials, a minimum of 54,000 to $5,000 is necessary to endow a scholar­ ship. Depending upon both the amount of money we can accumulate and prevailing interest rates, the amount of the scholar­ ship will vary from year to year. "While this $5,000 amount may be more than we as a group could comfort­ ably pledge in one year, it does seem rea­ sonable to expect that we could raise or even exceed this minimum over a fiveyear pledge period if we all join together on behalf of our classmate Dave. "I would appreciate your thoughtful consideration of this endeavor; please use the enclosed pledge form to designate your commitment to the memory of our friend. With some determination, we can, over the next five years, raise the neces­ sary funds to establish this tribute in memory of Dave at our Alma Mater." This initial mailing has already resulted in pledges from several members of the Class of 1970, and additional commit­ ments are anticipated as others make their decisions to become personally in­ volved as the result of follow-up letters that Dan and Joanne plan to mail. Alumni or friends not already on the mailing list can obtain a pledge form by calling the alumni office or by simply not­ ing the amount of the gift for each year of the five-year pledge period, and the fre­ quency of payment (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) that best fits the circumstances of the donor, noting that the gift is designated for the Findora Scholarship Fund; such pledges should be mailed to P.O. Box 111, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766.

The Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House A signed and numbered (S/N) limited edi­ tion pointillist graphic . . . perfect for home or the office. "The Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House" depicts in detail a pointillist graphic of the building which served as the presidential resi­ dence of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the original home of the Health Sciences Office, and now serves as the Alumni/Faculty House. Pointillism is a post-impressionist art form exemplified by Seurat and his fol­ lowers in the late 19th century France. The method is characterized by the appli­ cation of ink in small dots to create a blending illusion. ABOUT THE ARTIST... William O. "Bill" Williams was born in Sayre, Pennsylvania, in 1932. Because his father was employed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, travel for the family was fre­ quent, and he attended nineteen schools before graduating from high school in Jer­ sey City, New Jersey. Even as a child of five, Bill felt a need to draw with dots, al­ though it was not until much later as an adult that he learned the name of his unu­ sual artistic technique: pointillism. A Korean veteran of the U.S. Air Force, he attended St. Francis College in Brook­ lyn, and finally Hobart College in Ge­ neva, NY. As a talented self-taught artist, Williams has been on many television shows to discuss his unique style, and he draws full-time as a professional artist. Specializing in buildings and unusual ar­ chitectural structures, Williams has drawn the Golden Gate Bridge, the George Washington Bridge, the Empire State Building, and many other state and county buildings, including the State Cap­ itol in Harrisburg. Here in the Wyoming Valley, Bill has drawn the Luzerne County Courthouse, the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, the skyline of WilkesBarre as viewed from the West Side, and now the Annette Evans Alumni House. Bill exhibits his works regularly, and it is not unusual for an original pointillist work by him to require in excess of four hundred hours of intense drawing effort. AN OFFERING ... The Alumni Association commissioned Bill Williams to provide us with the origi­ nal signed graphic and 200 signed and numbered graphics of the Alumni House, to be used as a fund-raiser in conjunction with the Alumni Fund campaign. While the edition will not be offered for sale, alumni and friends of the College can obtain a graphic (S/N) by pledging $100 or more to the 1984 campaign in ex­ cess of the pledge made to the 1983 cam­ paign. The image size of the graphic is 23" x 14" unframed; for framing pur­ poses, the overall size is 25" x 16". Each graphic will be shipped via United Parcel Service at an additional cost of $5 per graphic. In view of the limited supply, all pieces are subject to prior commitment, and will be issued on a first-come, firstissued basis, by the date of receipt of pay­ ment of pledge. No further signed and numbered graphics will be issued as the original work of art will be retired. The original signed graphic is offered to the alumnus/alumna or friend of the Col­ lege who first pledges $1,000 or more to the 1984 campaign in excess of the pledge made to the 1983 campaign. The image size of the original is 16 " x 26 " un­ framed; for framing purposes, the overall size is 20"x30". This Offer will be Absolutely Withdrawn when the Original and 200 Graphics have been Committed. PLEASE MAIL REMITTANCE AND THIS ORDER TO: Quantity Original 1 only xxxxxxxx OTHER PRODUCTS lb increase both the value and the visi­ bility of this offering, the College may from time to time selectively issue similar graphics of other landmarks of the cam­ pus. The graphic of the Alumni House at 146 South River Street, however, will not be repeated.

A special part of this year's festivities was the honoring of the first graduating class of the college, (then known as Bucknell University Junior College). This class of 1935 concluded the weekend with a gala dinner dance held at the Sheraton Crossgates in Wilkes-Barre, where they were honored as the “Golden Colonels,” and each received a commemorative di­ ploma. While the afterglow is still there, Tony Shipula is busy planning the next homecoming which will take place on October 17, 18 and 19, 1986. Mark your calendar and watch for further details.

CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS CELEBRATES 20th BIRTHDAY Wilkes College marked the 20th Anni­ versary of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts at the En­ core Gala performance on Tuesday, Octo­ ber 22 and the John Wilkes Club Dinner on Wednesday, October 23. The Encore Gala, an evening of theater in the Center for the Performing Arts, showcased many alumni and friends who had their first taste of theater on the Wilkes College stage. Performers in­ cluded many well-known community members and other out-of-thc-area peo­ ple who are professionally established from all walks of life, and who have fond memories of their years spent at Wilkes College. The Encore Gala also paid tribute to the Darte-Darling family, whose support has contributed significantly to cultural de- velopment at Wilkes. Dorothy Dickson Darte was largely responsible for the building of the Center for the Performing Arts, but insisted that her contributions remain anonymous. It was not until after her death that the Center bore her name. Following the Encore Gala, Mrs. Darte and her family were honored by the Board of Trustees at the John Wilkes Club Dinner on Wednesday evening. The Cen­ ter for the Performing Arts was rededi­ cated in the memory of Mrs. Darte's daughter, Kitty Darling, and grandson, Edward Darling, Jr. Mrs. Darling's hus­ band, Edward Darling, Esq., and daugh­ ter, Dorothy Darling Mangelsdorf, ac­ cepted a rededication plaque, to be placed in the lobby of the Dorothy Dick­ son Darte Center.

A special part of this year's festivities was the honoring of the first graduating class of the college, (then known as Bucknell University Junior College). This class of 1935 concluded the weekend with a gala dinner dance held at the Sheraton Crossgates in Wilkes-Barre, where they were honored as the “Golden Colonels,” and each received a commemorative di­ ploma. While the afterglow is still there, Tony Shipula is busy planning the next homecoming which will take place on October 17, 18 and 19, 1986. Mark your calendar and watch for further details. Shown are the Golden Colonels, from left to right, seated: Front row, (left to right): Eleanor Scureman Fox, Mrs. Wanda Bonn, Robert Bonn, Christopher Breiseth and Beverly Jones Henderson.

CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS CELEBRATES 20th BIRTHDAY Wilkes College marked the 20th Anni­ versary of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts at the En­ core Gala performance on Tuesday, Octo­ ber 22 and the John Wilkes Club Dinner on Wednesday, October 23. The Encore Gala, an evening of theater in the Center for the Performing Arts, showcased many alumni and friends who had their first taste of theater on the Wilkes College stage. Performers in­ cluded many well-known community members and other out-of-thc-area peo­ ple who are professionally established from all walks of life, and who have fond memories of their years spent at Wilkes College. The Encore Gala also paid tribute to the Darte-Darling family, whose support has contributed significantly to cultural de- velopment at Wilkes. Dorothy Dickson Darte was largely responsible for the building of the Center for the Performing Arts, but insisted that her contributions remain anonymous. It was not until after her death that the Center bore her name. Following the Encore Gala, Mrs. Darte and her family were honored by the Board of Trustees at the John Wilkes Club Dinner on Wednesday evening. The Cen­ ter for the Performing Arts was rededi­ cated in the memory of Mrs. Darte's daughter, Kitty Darling, and grandson, Edward Darling, Jr. Mrs. Darling's hus­ band, Edward Darling, Esq., and daugh­ ter, Dorothy Darling Mangelsdorf, ac­ cepted a rededication plaque, to be placed in the lobby of the Dorothy Dick­ son Darte Center. Shown al the John Wilkes Club Dinner are. from left to right: President Breiseth. I Edward Darling, Esq., Dorothy Darling Mangelsdorf. John Mangelsdorf, Jr., and id Thomas Darling. �ANTHONY J. SHIPULA NAMED DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI RELATIONS Anthony J. Shipula, II, '78, was ap­ pointed Director of Alumni Relations ear­ lier this year, by President Christopher N. Breiseth. As Director, Shipula will be responsible for coordinating activities supporting the Alumni Association, whose 14,000 mem­ bers are now located throughout the United States and in several foreign coun­ tries. Tony is currently directing his attention to prioritizing his many duties with em­ phasis on the development and support of the various regional associations. A 1978 graduate, Tony received his de­ gree in Business Administration. Before his appointment he served as a sales exec­ utive for Chamberlin Insurance, Inc. and as Corporate Underwriting Representa­ tive for WVIA-TV. He succeeds Richard A. Raspen, who went back to leaching as a member of the faculty in the Commerce and Finance Department. ALUMNI PHONOTHON RAISES $54,456 Alumni and friends of the college turned out for the entire month of Sep­ tember to volunteer their time for the an­ nual phonothon, and with great success! The phonothon raised $54,456. Raising the largest total amount was Joyce Girard, '70, and Mary Argenio, ad­ ministrative aid for the Office of Founda­ tions and Grants Management. Director Tony Shipula said, "This year's campaign was a huge success — we exceeded last year's pledges by at least 30% and expect more donations from alumni who did not specify the amount of their gifts.” Tony also praised the volun­ teers, "So many people devoted their time and we developed a real team spirit."

It is worth noting that, tor planning and comparison purposes, in 1984 Wilkes College began to report gifts on a calendar-year basis. Thus, annual giving to Wilkes has become £ coincidential with most individual and business fiscal years. I want to underscore the challenge and opportunity which annual giving affords to friends of Wilkes to strengthen the College. Like many other private colleges, Wilkes is heavily “tuition-dependent. ’’ Approximately 85% of the education budget is funded by tuition. While not higher than many similar colleges, such dependence on tuition makes your contributions particularly important in providing additional resources in support of the Wilkes educational mission. If Wilkes can meet increasing costs by increasing annual and scholarship gift support, for example, tuition increases can be held down. By stabilizing tuition costs — already below many better-known, though not necessarily better - quality colleges — Wilkes can be more attractive to high school seniors and their families. The College can thereby preserve access to quality higher education for students ofmodest means in Northeast President’s Message ....................... 1984 Campaign in Review ............ 1984 Alumni Giving by Class Year Why Annual Giving? .....................

Your annual gift, then, has the double effect ofhelping the academic budget and the WILKES COLLEGE admissions program. Special commendations goes, also, to those responsible for the record established in 1984, reflecting the help of hundreds ofpeople who gave their interest, time and resources. I would especially like to thank the volunteers in the Wyoming Valley Campaign for Wilkes, rhe Alumni Executive Committee, the student and alumni phonathon callers, and the many members of the College staff and Board of Trustees who encouraged over 2,750 people to support Wilkes College in 1984. What lies before us is the challenge ofimproving this record as Wilkes College prepares for the twenty-first century. off The growing support from those closest to the College represents the appreciation and respect Wilkes enjoys among its alumrn and friends. It is obvious that the quality of the College s programs is held in high regard. I applaud the desire of those ready to help provide the financial resources necessary to sustain that quality for new generations of students With appreciation, Christopher N.

Cash gifts reported for the January 1 December 31 period include gifts received during campaigns led by both Mrs. Hiscox and Mr. Trethaway. During 1984, the College changed its gift reporting base from a fiscal (academic) year to a calendar year to facilitate cash flow management and reporting cycles. -____ ’ ’ ’ • • • “The College is exceedingly grateful to both of our fine Chairmen for this excellent record,” President Christopher N. Breiseth stated, “and the College is also fortunate to have such leaders as Frank P. Cuscela ‘58, who chaired the recent corporate campaign, and Gilbert D. Tough ‘56, who is our past chairman of the alumni phase.” During the “Campaign 84” victory meeting, Chairman Trethaway told an elated audience of campaign volunteers that the goal for that campaign was exceeded by 24%, bringing a total of $531,890 in scholarship assistance for capable and deserving students. That figure is included in the overall totals reported above. The 1984 Campaign was the final one under the leadership of Wilkes President Robert S. Capin, who had announced his resignation a year earlier to enter private business. In a statement to officers and volunteers, he said, “Your willingness to give of your time and energy, your devotion to this vital effort has made this one of die. most fund-raising , csuccessful a « ivt’ii ln 50-year history of Wilkes College. you in in behalf behalfof of £?

To finance the academy that is now the University of Pennsylvania, Franklin personally pledged £5,000 - - “to be paid in quotas yearly,” the earliest known annual giving pledge. Dedicated support such as Franklin’s has also been a tradition at Wilkes, from the day of its founding 1933. Since then, hundreds of far-sighted persons have given the financial leadership required to build a superior College. While tuition has always been the primary source of College income, private gifts have lifted Wilkes to its current position of educational quality. Indeed, it is only through the thoughtful annual giving of many people and organizations that private higher education — at Wilkes and nationwide — is nurtured and advanced. Annual gifts, particularly in their yearly continuity, constitute a needs, in fact vital resource which significantly strengthens the academic program.

Farley established ideals for strengthening character and goals of scholarly excellence which the College has always endeavored to emulate. These qualities have been essential to the continued success of Wilkes. Taking the name of the exemplar whose vitality still infuses the institution, the Gene Farley Club is also an essential part of Wilkes College. Resources given by Club members, in the form of gifts of $100 to $999, provide a critical margin of assistance insuring that Wilkes retains its position as an outstanding, private, liberal arts college.

The figures detail the third successive year of income growth in private support, and, most heartening of all, they spea eloquently of the growing number of donors who expressed their confidence with a gift of resources. Private giving to Wilkes College in 1986 was $2,922,988 from more than 5,000 individuals and organizations. This represents an increase of 96% in cash flow and some 27% in the number of gifts. With $1,211,043 in government grants for academic purposes, total gift and grant support reached $4,134,031. This report is the first to show the effect of WILKES TOMORROW, our vital campaign effort by which ive will soon be building a much-needed center for sports and conferences and through which we have already begun to strengthen the College’s endowment fund. WILKES TOMORROW accounts for the more than tripling of capital support from 1985 to 1986. But this is not merely a “numbers" report. It is, most of all, a “people” report, and I’d like to recognize here some of those who helped to make it happen. First the College’s trustees. Trustee giving grew five-fold. Individual trustees supported the capital campaign and its promise with personal, family, foundation and corporate gifts — which, in the aggregate were well over $1,000,000 last year alone. Next I d like to congratulate the alumni who, by their impressive effort, met the challenge of the Surdna Foundation. By phonathon and personal appeal alumni attained a 50% increase in the Alumni Fund and, as a consequence, earned a $50,000 grant which is now at work in the endowment generating scholarship funds for deserving students. Parents of students are a relatively new group g l off givers, __ „and they are well represented in this report. Responses to a year-end telephone appeal increased their participation byy nearly 600%, the largest percentage growth of any College constituency. And a note of thanks, too goes to those hardworking volunteers in the community who call on friends and of its mission to offer the highest quality education to a broad m C°n 1 ence in College and an endorsemen rigorous academic life.

A goal of $18 million has been set for a Sports and Conference Center, Endowment Funds, and Annual Support to the Academic Program. Already $8.8 million has been committed, including more chan half of the $8 million capital objective. “We are on a very good track," said President Christopher N. Breiseth. Individual, corporate, and foundation reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are very encouraged by our results in this five-year effort.” Much planning, preparation work, volunteer recruitment, and case statement development has been accomplished in advance of this preparation for the national effort. The campaign will run through 1990 and be conducted in various stages. Many more people need to be involved with the program for success. With your help, it will. _________ 1985 # Individuals Trustees Alumni College Family Friends Parents Capital —Cum.

Commencement ’85 Speaker .23 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 3 �Student/Faculty Research at Wilkes Coltegje Then and Now (1950-1986) Wilkes College students in a biology laboratory ofthe early 1950’s. An article entitled, “Science Studies Thrive at Small Colleges,’ appeared in the June 18th edition of the New York Times and focused on a conference held at Oberlin College. Forty-eight representatives from liberal arts schools met there to discuss the various successful science programs involving faculty-directed research for undergraduate students. 4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY These programs were designed specifically to give students the practical experience so essential to their development as future scientists. Wilkes College was not represented, a fact that disturbed Dr. Sheldon Cohen, M.D. and a former member of the biology faculty at Wilkes. Dr. Cohen, who is now director of the Immunology, Allergic, and Immunologic Disease Program at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland said, "As I read the article with so much emphasis placed on the perceived newness of the concept, yes, I was disturbed. I had the feeling that they were reinventing the wheel at Oberlin. This kind of research began at Wilkes College in 1953 when, with a lot of enthusiasm and a little seed money, Dr. Chuck Reif and I and later Dr. Francis Michelini put together just such a program.” Dr. Cohen reminisced about those early days. In the second floor of a converted carriage house behind Conyngham Hall, the three biology professors set up laboratories and started an ambitious program of faculty-directed student projects in bio-medical research. According to Cohen, the National Institute of Health provided a series of small grants ($880 to $1,400), which supported the beginning of the model for research at Wilkes. It wasn’t long before the program attracted the attention of the Veterans Administration, the Northeast Chapter of the American Heart Association, and the then newly created National Science Foundation, all of whom recognized and supported the development of the designated undergraduate student projects. Thus, according to Dr. Cohen, in the early 1950’s bio-medical research evolved in a most improbable setting — small liberal arts college in Northeastern Pennsylvania and, “Wilkes College,” Cohen said, “found a new source of pride.” Today counted among the Wilkes alumni who participated in the program are research immunologists, biologists, bio-chemists, and American Board certified specialists in pathology, internal medicine, pediatrics, allergy and immunology, and public health, all of whom hold academic positions and/or are engaged in clinical practice. Included in this prestigious group are three chairpersons of medical schools: Dr. Leslie Weiner ’57, who is chairperson of the Department of Neurology, University of California; Dr. Thomas Saba ’63, Chairman, Albany Medical College; and Dr. Martin Tansy ’60, dean. Temple University School of Dentistry. There is Dr. William Davis '67, who is head of allergy at Columbia University Medical Center; Dr. Doris Bartuska ’49, director of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Medical College of Pennsylvania; Dr. William F. Raub '61, deputy director of the National Institute of Health; and Dr. Catherine DeAngelis ’65, professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. There are many more according to Dr. Cohen, "Far too many to list here.” It is interesting to note that the three pioneering professors have an impressive history, too. Dr. Cohen, in his role at the NIH, heads one of the most prestigious research facilities in the nation. Dr. Francis J. Michelini was to advance to the presidency ofWilkes College and serve as its C.E.O, until accepting his present position as president for the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities. Dr. Chuck Reif chose to stay on at Wilkes College as chairman of the department he helped to establish until he retired as professor emeritus in biology in 1985. Cohen, still speculating on why Wilkes wasn’t at the Oberlin conference, decided to contact his former colleague, “It was wonderfully reassuring to hear from Chuck Reif that a program of opportunities for faculty-directed research with undergraduate students, is alive and well at Wilkes. This was confirmed by Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the Wilkes Biology Department, who noted that the Oberlin conference was intended for schools with a high percentage of students going on to Ph.D. programs, while the highest percentage ofWilkes students go on to medical schools. We’ve continued in the same tradition,” he said, “however, the emphasis is changed as the needs of society and the marketplace has changed.” “The methodology we use is aimed at equipping the student with a critical eye, enabling them to interpret experimental design. We introduce them to the jargon of science so that they can read and evaluate. They are taught to prepare manuscripts in conventional scientific format.” The department has continued in the tradition and has added to the hands-on experience in the labs, and according to Turoczi, the students’ self-image is enhanced each year when they attend the Eastern Colleges Science Conference, "Our students, at this conference, are among presenters from all of the prestigious colleges in the eastern United States. Each year they come away feeling that they are well qualified to function as independent researchers because of their education and experience here at Wilkes College." This year, ninety percent of these students were accepted to medical schools across the nation. The tradition does continue and the list ofWilkes College alumni who influence the health care of a nation will also continue to grow. Dr. Les Turoczi works with students on the scanning electron microscope in the Wilkes Biology labs. WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 5 �rocui a “Faculty sabbaticals provide learning experiences valuable to both professors and students.” ON FACULTY Dr. James DeCosmo Although most sabbaticals are taken by professors in order to pursue independent interests, Dr. James DeCosmo, professor of Mathematics, spent his sabbatical time differently. From fall, 1983, to spring, 1984, DeCosmo enrolled in an intensive Computer and Information Science program at the State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY). DeCosmo’s sabbatical was one of the first steps toward developing a faculty retraining focus at Wilkes College. Faculty retraining provides professors with an opportunity to investigate new developments in their areas of expertise, which can then be incorporated into the Wilkes College curriculum. DeCosmo’s goal was to gain a broad perspective on computer use in business. He could then utilize this perspective in building a new program at the College — Computer Information Systems (CIS), instituted this fall. When he first enrolled at SUNY, DeCosmo found himself in the midst of a drastically different experience. As a professor, he was accustomed to teaching such subjects as applied mathematics, calculus, and beginning computer science. As a student, he enrolled in courses in Pascal, Cobol, File Management, and Data Base. In order to focus on the growing role of computers outside the field of mathematics, he was also exposed to graduate MBA coursework at SUNY. It was this marriage of mathematics, computer science, and business information that he feels gave a direction appropriate for the CIS program at Wilkes. DeCosmo views his work at SUNY as “an invaluable opportunity to investigate the computer as a tool in new areas.” Although the academic demands placed on him during a short period of time left him with little else to do but study, he does not 6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Dr. Owen D. Faut see this as a negative aspect of his experience. Says he, “the intellectual challenge was very demanding — as much as any math coursework I have taken.” Now that his sabbatical is complete, DeCosmo is anxious to utilize his knowledge in building the new CIS program here at Wilkes. Before studying at SUNY, he considered the computer as an important resourse for mathematics. Now that he has gained an appreciation for computer applications in a variety of fields, he is eager to pass this perspective on to his students. In his view, the CIS program, which features less technical and mathematical computer courses and more business and management, gives liberal arts and business majors an idea of the computer’s potential, not just its detailed workings. Due to the highly progressive nature of the computer field, the introduction of a CIS program into the Wilkes curriculum is a timely one. DeCosmo hopes that the course he is currently teaching, “C.S. 115: Computer Information Science,” will be the first step in an exciting new opportunity for non-computer science majors at the college. He is far­ sighted in his hopes for the program, envisioning further opportunities for educating area businesses and professionals in computer applications. He stresses, however, “Our first obligation is to our students. The CIS program will show them that, while computers are only tools, they have incredible potential in all creative work.” During the 1981-82 academic year, Dr. Owen D. Faut, professor of chemistry at Wilkes College, spent a sabbatical at the Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio. For one year, he conducted intensive studies in tribology, the science of friction, lubrication, and wear. Faut’s sabbatical came about as a result of earlier research he had done on tricresyl phosphate (TCP), a liquid lubricant additive. TCP is known as an anti-wear or extreme pressure additive, which causes a coating to form on a metal’s surface. This coating helps to prevent wear on the metal, thus making machinery last longer. Although the implications of such a substance to industry are obvious, the United States government does not currently support tribology research. In fact, there is only one United States facility dedicated solely to fundamental lubrication studies — the Lewis Research Center. In 1981, Faut applied for and was awarded a National Research Council Senior Associateship, a post-doctoral position sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, in Washington, D.C. Since he had spent two previous summers as a member of the lubrication fundamentals group at the Goddard Space Center, his expertise earned him an invitation to the Lewis Research Center. Faut and his family relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where they lived and studied from August, 1981 to August, 1982. During his year at Lewis, Faut’s research on TCP earned him professional and scientific acclaim. One of his papers, “On The Mechanism of Lubrication by TCP — The Coefficient of Friction,” was presented at the National meeting of the Society of Lubrication Engineers, October, 1982, and was published in the society’s journal, Transactions. A second paper, “The Adsorption and Thermal Decomposition of TCP on Iron and Gold” was published in Applications of Surface Science in 1984. This work, co-authored by Donald R. Wheeler, a Lewis Research Center physicist, was nominated by the tribology branch at Lewis for its prestigious paper of the year competition. Faut also co-authored a paper with Donald H. Buckley, an internationally recognized tribology expert, which is slated for publication by NASA. Although Faut’s sabbatical ended in August, 1982, he was invited back to the Lewis Research Center in the summers of 1983 and 1984. At the conclusion of this fellowship, he was asked to continue his work at Lewis, but returned to Wilkes College for personal and professional reasons. Faut feels that his experience at the Lewis Research Center was valuable to himself and to Wilkes College students. He is still conducting TCP studies here, and has made valuable contacts for several Wilkes students. Two Wilkes College graduates have already begun graduate research in tribology, and an undergraduate student has received an internship at the Goddard Space Center to conduct lubrication studies. Faut is also excited at the implications of his own research, saying, “If we understand the mechanism by which TCP works, there are other additives whose mysteries can be unlocked — we can attack them more knowledgeably. TCP is almost the foundation to this research, and we are on the way to solving the mystery.” WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 7 �Dr. M. H. Fahmy focui ON FACULTY Responding to a Changing World Dr. Robert Ogren When Dr. Robert Ogren, professor of biology, was granted a sabbatical leave, he did not apply for a fellowship at a large university or travel to a foreign country. Instead, he chose to spend his sabbatical at the institution best suited to his own research purposes — Wilkes College. Ogren, a parasitologist of international reputation, conducted his research using resources available at the Farley Library and the Wilkes biology laboratories. Ogren is known to Wilkes students as an instructor of cytology, the study of the structure and function of cells. But he is best known in the science world as an expert on the land planarian. Planarians are minute, flattened soft-bodied worms. Although they usually exist in aquatic environments, land planarians, as the name suggests, are terrestrial organisms. Native species are found living above the ground during warm seasons. Exotic species, often originating in soils in greenhouses and hothouses, may also make their way into the environment if climatic conditions are favorable. Ogren has been instrumental in locating and identifying many of the land planarian species in the United States, and has aided research in other areas of the globe. During his sabbatical, he collaborated with colleagues in India and Japan on manuscripts he hopes to publish on the land planarians of India. Although Wilkes College served as the home base for Ogren’s research, he managed to find time to travel to pursue his studies. He visited the American Museum of Natural History in New York on two occasions, consulting key references and examining specimens in the museum's collection. In fact, because he is considered one of the foremost researchers of the land planarian, the museum loaned him several 8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY i specimens, which he brought back to Wilkes for more intensive analysis. Later in his sabbatical, he traveled to England, Scotland, and Wales, where he formed contacts with scientists at the University of Manchester and the Natural History Museum in London. During his final week abroad, he was a guest at the Third International Congress on Systematic and Evolutionary Biology at Sussex University Campus in Brighton, England. When asked to name the most rewarding aspects of his sabbatical, Ogren mentions a variety of topics, from presenting his research at the spring meeting of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science, to reading and programming his new personal computer. But undoubtedly the most exciting work he accomplished was the identification of a new species of land planarian, now designated as Bipalium n.sp. Hl. Ogren discovered the species in Pennsylvania, and began to compare it to similar organisms in the United States and Japan. When the new Bipalium did not fit any existing descriptions, he and other specialists became convinced that his was a species that had not been previously identified. An article describing the organism in detail has now been submitted for publication in a scientific journal. If the article is published and no one comes forward to dispute it, Ogren’s land planarian will be confirmed as a new species. It would seem to some that Ogren accomplished a great deal during his leave, considering the fact that he decided to remain at Wilkes. But he does not see his decision as anything less than a profitable one. As he puts it, “Everything I needed was here — the library, the equipment, the facilities. The real value of such a sabbatical was that the college provided me with the time to do my work. The bonus was that they also provided the resources.” Of course, it is only fitting that the resources available at Wilkes should benefit a man who is, himself, one of our most valuable scientific resources. ® Enrollment in the graduate classes at Wilkes College is higher this year, Spring of 1986, than it has been since the inception of the program in 1959. This announcement was made recently by Mahmoud H. Fahmy, Dean of the Graduate Division. “We are pleased and proud of course, but we are not surprised. The expansion of the graduate level curriculum has been carefully designed to meet the needs of a changing society.” Curriculum for the graduate division, according to Dr. Fahmy, is based on a close monitoring of societal change, which will affect the needs of the community at large. These needs have been manifested recently in the areas of health, education, business, industry, and governmental agencies dealing with the environment. Accordingly, Fahmy initiated new plans to meet the needs indicated. To its already broad degree granting program, three new degrees have been added to the list: The Masters in Health Administration (M.H.A.), the Masters in Electrical Engineering, and soon to be offered is the Masters in Engineering and Applied Sciences. In addition, it has extended its Masters in Business Administration (M.B.A.) to Allentown where the response was immediate and overwhelming. In discussing the Masters in Health Administration, he said, “The M.H.A. was established to provide effective and skillful managers in the field of health care delivery. Our program is the only one providing access and opportunity to professionals in the field, which allows them to pursue graduate study. We have a current enrollment of well over one hundred candidates whose membership include doctors, dentists, and health care executives. The M.B.A. program has maintained high enrollment on the campus and its excellent reputation caught the interest of administrators at St. Francis de Sales College in Allentown. Its President, Father Daniel G. Gambet, contacted Dean Fahmy to ask if Wilkes would consider making the degree available to Lehigh Valley residents by offering it at the Allentown campus. Fahmy said, “Of course, we were delighted to investigate the possibility. Now, several months into the program, we have formed a close affiliation with St. Francis de Sales and the degree is sought by nearly three hundred people.” In addition to all of this, Wilkes graduate division is serving teachers and educators throughout the state of Pennsylvania by assisting them to develop, through workshops and seminars, more effective methods of teaching and administration skills. These courses are offered in affiliation with Performance Learning Systems (PLS). One of the most important new offerings is the Masters in Electrical Engineering. Fahmy said, “In this highly technological society, this degree is so very significant and necessary. It has been said that ‘Engineers invent everything and we use everything they invent,’ and this degree has double impact. In addition to serving the needs dictated by the region, it will also assist the region of Northeastern Pennsylvania in attracting industry.” Approval is pending for the M.S. in Engineering and Applied Sciences. The engineering degrees firmly establish Wilkes College as the center for engineering and applied sciences in the northeast Pennsylvania area. Asked about the future plans for the division, Dean Fahmy said he sees the need for the graduate programs developing in the areas of computer science, nursing, and environmental education. Under Fahmy’s direction, it is safe to conclude that the Wilkes College graduate division will indeed meet the needs of Northeastern Pennsylvania in education at the graduate level and will become a resource for a nation in need of highly qualified professionals. Graduate Degrees now offered at Wilkes College are: Master of Business Administration, Master of Health Administration, Master of Science in Mathematics, Master of Science in Physics, Master of Science in Biology, Master of Science in Chemistry, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Master of Science in Education with concentrations in Biology Chemistry Education (General) Education (Elem.) English HistoryMathematics Physics To offer in Spring Semester — Master of Science in Engineering and Applied Science. The M.B.A. offers concentrations in Marketing Managerial Finance Labor Relations Accounting Finance Health Care WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 9 �Wilkes College Music From Baroque to Jazz A Chamber Ensemble There’s an old New England anecdote that says, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait — it’ll change.” That line can easily be adapted to the musical performances at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. In a given week, the Wilkes College Percussion Ensemble may open its season, but if jazz is more to your tastes, wait until the next week when the Wilkes Jazz Band performs. Of course, the week after that, the Cap and Bell Singers will treat you to vocal music, and the Wind Ensemble will present contemporary music or selections adapted for concert bands. Over the next few months, you can hear chamber music, a full orchestra, and even music theater — all presented by the Wilkes College Department of Music. The list of performance organizations within the department covers the musical spectrum from baroque to jazz. Included are the chorus, orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Music Theater, Wind Quintet, Brass Quintet, Vocal and Instrumental Chamber Ensembles, Contemporary Music Ensemble, 10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Chamber Players, Percussion Ensemble, and Cap and Bell Singers. All groups offer concert performances free of charge, providing the opportunity for audiences to hear, and students to perform, a wide variety of music. Such diversity on stage has its roots in an equally diverse curriculum that provides an immense range of opportunities for all music majors. When the music program switched from the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Sciences degrees to the Bachelor of Music degree, the music requirement jumped from 50 credits to 80 credits. Those extra 30 credits can be used to pursue individual interests in applied performance studies, theory, historical analysis, literature, methods, and large and small ensembles. Students are also offered exposure to internationally famous musicians through guest concert performances and workshops. The result of such a broad educational experience is a musician who is prepared for many options upon graduation, from symphonic playing to teaching to music publishing. According to Jerome Campbell, Chairman of the Department of Music, “Our strength lies in the fact that we offer exposure to a range of musical opportunities and styles that is unique for a small institution. At the same time, we maintain a very personal attitude toward our musicians, as our seven to one student/faculty ratio allows for individual attention to all students. In an age of mass-produced mediocrity, we still believe in hand-crafted quality, and we try to produce that quality in our music program.” The records of the department’s graduates support this belief, as the department boasts success stories in as many areas of music as they pursue. Some of the brightest stars who credit their early training to Wilkes music are: Ed Yadzinski ’62, clarinetist and saxophonist, performs with the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra. He is also a member of the music faculty at the State University of New York. Thomas Hrynkiw ’63, is a concert pianist and solo recording artist. He accompanies many of the world’s great instrumentalists on recordings “It’s the training beyond the education that made my time at Wilkes worth the effort. ” for the Musical Heritage Society label. Richard Probert ’64, is now Dean of The School of the Arts, State University of New York at Plattsburg. Marty Hurley ’68, a renowned percussionist, teaches, performs, and serves as a clinician for the Ludwig Drum Company. Christine Donahue ’74, soprano, was a finalist in the Pavarotti contest and a winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions. She sings with the opera companies of Houston, Wilmington, and Annapolis. In addition to these outstanding individuals already established in the field, there are rising musical stars who hold undergraduate degrees from the Wilkes Music Department. Among last year’s graduating class are musicians engaged in areas from graduate study to studio teaching. In all, one hundred percent of the class of 1985 is now placed in the field. The variety of careers being pursued Jazz Great — Milt Henton and student The Brass Ensemble by the graduates is consistent with the versatility of the department and is evident from the achievements of just a handful of these students: Mary Beth Zuvich, a soprano attending the University of North Carolina, and Pamela Bricker, a clarinetist at the University of Ohio, are currently teaching assistants. Maureen McDermott, flutist, and Michael Pryor, saxophonist, are pursuing performance studies at Syracuse University and the Peabody Conservatory, respectively. And Roy Clark, organist, majors in early music and baroque instruments at the New England Conservatory. When speaking on the value of the Wilkes music program, these students invariably mention the broad experience they enjoyed in their musical training and education. According to Clark, “The diverse musical foundation that Wilkes offered me enabled me to be accepted at one of the best conservatories in the country. I’ve found the training to be invaluable in developing my instrumental work, but just as important to me were the extensive music history courses. 1 can’t say enough about how they gave me both the knowledge and direction to pursue a somewhat unusual major — baroque instruments.” Michael Pryor also notes the significance of a diverse musical foundation to his graduate studies. “It’s the training beyond the education that made my time at Wilkes worth the effort. Not only can I play my instrument with confidence, I can go beyond that. The range of experience I had at Wilkes has made me capable of appreciating the talents, needs, and situations of others. That kind of insight is a definite asset in my position as manager of The Wind Ensemble at Peabody.” Obviously, it is the versatility and depth of a Wilkes music education that distinguishes it in the minds of graduate students, outstanding performers, and eminent educators. But this point comes as no surprise to the thousands of afficianados who attend Wilkes concerts each year. They have come to count on Wilkes as a center for all kinds of music. So, if you’re looking for a change, just wait — Wilkes music will provide one. But don’t expect one thing to change — the quality of a Wilkes College music education. ® WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 11 �c. 1846, oil on canvas, 15x24 Vale of Wyoming A recent exhibition in the Sordoni Art Gallery, entitled Vale of Wyoming: Nineteenth Century Images from Campbell’s Ledge To Nanticoke, generated so much interest that hours were extended to accommodate guests. The exhibit, supported in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, included paintings, prints, illustrations and ceramics, which gave visitors a visual perspective of what Wyoming Valley was during the early part of the 19th century. The following excerpt is by Judith O’Toole, Director of the Sordoni Gallery. 12 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Thomas Hill, The HoneyPot (nearNanticoke), n.d., oil on canvas, 36x48 Artist Unknown. Wyoming Valley in J850, watercolor, 6x23'4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 13 �ciHll o.tlft-. gfix Edmund Lovell Dana, View of Wyoming Valley and Wilkes-Barre from the West End ofRoss Hill, c. 1866, wood engraving. 3 ux6 Since the seventeenth century, the Wyoming Valley of Northeastern Pennsylvania (roughly encompassing the area from Nanticoke in the Southwest to Pittston in the Northeast) has been cited as an area of extraordinary natural beauty1. Poets, writers, and artists have drawn inspiration from this scenic green valley and its colorful Indian history. The last glacier age formed the picturesque bluffs and narrows that now mark the Wyoming Valley. Ironically, the great ice masses were also responsible for shearing off the mountain heights, which, in the middle of the nineteenth century, would make anthracite more accessible to mine. During the course of the nineteenth century, industry changed the primeval paradise that was the Wyoming Valley to reflect the modem, technological industry which took advantage of its natural resources. Artists and w'riters w ere not the only ones inspired by the grandeur of the Wyoming Valley. The journals of soldiers, scientists, and travellers tell of their reactions to its beauty. In the 1790s. Issac Weld, Jr. (historian and author) noted that the mountains almost always face wide plains across the Susquehanna River but “during the course of one mile, you will perceive more than a dozen different changes from one side to the other,” mountains switching with plains to create a variety of picturesque views. Weld continued, saying “At every bend the prospect varies . . . [with] scarcely a spot.. . where the painter would not find a subject worthy of his pencil .” Jacob Cist’s views showing the falls of Solomon's Creek were reproduced in The Port Folio in 1809. These show the pristine, unspoiled beauty of the area. Cist was a scientist and inventor as well as an artist and, as early as 1813, he and 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY two painters leased the Lehigh Coal Mine property near Mauch Chunk where he was responsible for the first river shipment of anthracite. Therefore, while he had recorded the early beauty of Northeastern Pennsylvania in his drawings, his scientific researches demonstrated the variety of uses for anthracite — leading to the industry which gradually changed the area’s topography. Baldwin Brower’s view of the bridge at Wilkes-Barre in 1823 shows the charm of this bustling community set in the picturesque Wyoming Valley. The bridge, horse-drawn carriage, and workmen indicate the prosperity of commerce in the area. The people walking in the foreground lend an air of gentility and civilization to the scene while the view into the mountains reminds us that the surrounding land was still largely unsettled. William H. Bartlett's views, The Descent into the Valley of Wyoming (as seen from Campbell’s Ledge), and Wilkes-Barre, Vale of Wyoming, both published in N. P. Willis’ American Scenery (London, 1840), were copied innumerable times for a variety of publications. Both show the splendor of the mountains and the charm of the valley city and river. By the time that Jasper Francis Cropsey visited the area in 1865 and completed studies for his mural-sized view, Valley of Wyoming, the valley was dotted with the smoke stacks of industry even though, overall, it retained its bucolic look. Cropsey shows a coal breaker, the canal, and other symbols of industrialization, but also shows a farm and the dramatic cliffs of Campbell’s Ledge. On the gilded frame are inscribed verses from Campbell’s poem, “Gertrude of Wyoming.” which emphasize the pastoral beauty and goodness of the valley. By the twentieth century, the industrial developments of the nineteenth century showed visibly on the landscape of the Wyoming Valley. No longer were its people able to maintain the balance between natural paradise and industrial center. Artist's renderings show this development more clearly than any written accounts. The exhibition shows nineteenth century images within the geographic boundaries of Campbell’s Ledge and the city of Nanticoke. The works were drawn from public and private collections, including the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society. Paintings and prints from the Gilbert S. McClintock Collection of the Eugene Shedden Farley Library at Wilkes College will be exhibited, many for the first time outside the library. More than any other exhibition, this one has been the effort of many people. Vale of Wyoming: Nineteenth Century Images from Campbell's Ledge to Nanticoke was the vision of Annie Bohlin and Charles Petrillo, who suggested the idea a year ago and agreed to locate and select the works. Their perseverance and love of the subject is reflected in the exhibition and in this catalog. I would like to thank them more specifically for their individual roles: Charlie for his essay which gives a historical perspective to the objects, and Annie for her catalog design. Together, we would like to thank Roger Stein for coming through with an enlightening essay with just a few months’ notice. We are also indebted to Kathleen Luhrs of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for information on J. F. Cropsey and to David McCarthy of the University of Delaware for helpful insights on Paul Weber. Much of what we have done could not have been possible without the groundwork laid by Gilbert S. McClintock in his Valley Views of Northeastern Pennsylvania (The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, Wilkes-Barre, 1948) and George G. Raddin, Jr. in his “Painting in Wyoming Valley 1808-1957” (a series of articles for the Sunday Independent, Wilkes-Barre, reproduced in the Catalog ofthe Edward Welles, Jr. Collection, compiled by Mary Barrett and published by King’s College, 1974). As always, we are deeply grateful for the loans made available to us. We particularly thank Burt Logan, Executive Director of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, and P. Robert Paustian, Director of the E.S. Farley Library, Wilkes College. Speech, Communications, and Theater Arts — Wilkes Introduces a New Discipline David Tucker is the new chairman of a new department (Speech, Communications, and Theater Arts) but he hasn’t acted like “the new professor on the block,” since arriving on campus in September. 1985. He had definite plans for his fledgling department and all the experience necessary to implement the plans. Tucker recognized the challenge he accepted when he made the decision to come to Wilkes as chairman of the new discipline. He said in an October interview, “There is much to be done, but I’m looking forward to it. We have great facilities, an enthusiastic faculty with good credentials, and we are all looking forward to the challenge.” Tucker set his priorities early with plans for a complete revision of curriculum. “We've spent the entire fall semester revising our course offerings. Consultants are now reviewing the changes and the Faculty Curriculum Committee will examine it after that.” One thing that becomes obvious in conversation is that Tucker will build into that curriculum a combination of classroom and hands-on experience for Dr. David Tucker students, he said, “Our students will benefit enormously from the sophisticated equipment and labs Wilkes offers its communications majors. They will be able to translate classroom theory into practical experience in the theater, in radio, and in television.” The facilities to which Tucker refers are a fully equipped 500-seat professional theater with complete design and lighting capacities (The Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts), a 2,000 watt FCC approved radio station WCLH, and television labs which provide state-of-the-art equipment. “This is unusual in undergraduate institutions,” Tucker said. “Students rarely have this available until their senior year. Our students will be working in the second semester of their freshman year in these professional environments.” Tucker, who holds both the M.A. and Ph.D. from Bowding Green State University, has a broad background in all aspects of communications including on-air performance, college teaching, and industrial research experience. His writings in this field range from commercials, to journal articles, to WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY IS �“Wilkes College communications majors will have a definite edge in a highly competitive market. ” Allan Price Kirby Elected to the Board of Trustees i. Carl Brigido instructs student in TV labs large-scale financial project reports. It was his interest in research that led him out of the classroom at James Madison University' in Virginia (where he taught 13 different courses ranging from broadcast history, to audience analysis, to audio production) to serve as senior research project manager at Arbitron Ratings Company in Laurel, Maryland. There he was responsible for improving survey procedures, testing and analysis, and recommending changes based on test results. The job also entailed “a large amount of writing.” It was a challenging and rewarding career, yet Tucker found he missed “the college atmosphere and the students, and he wanted a different challenge.” He decided to return to the atmosphere he missed. With the experience he’s acquired both in academe and in industry, it’s obvious that the new professor on the block knows his way around the block. Through the strong leadership he provides and the strong faculty he leads, Wilkes College communications majors will have a definite edge in a highly competitive market. Welcome, Dr. Tucker. 16 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY ’Hie Control Room at radio station WCLH Allan P. Kirby, Jr., President of Liberty Square Inc., New Jersey, Director of the Alleghany Corporation, New York, and Director of the F. M. Kirby Foundation, Inc., has been elected to membership on the Wilkes College Board of Trustees. The announcement was made by Board Chairperson Patricia S. Davies. Davies said, “We are pleased that Allan Kirby will now be with us on a regular basis, and look forward to the benefit of his council and broad executive experience.” Kirby, a private investor, is a native of Wilkes-Barre, the son of Allan Price Kirby and Marian Sutherland Kirby. Kirby moved from Pennsylvania to New Jersey in 1940, but has maintained close and consistent ties with his native Wyoming Valley. The family name is well-known and Mr. Kirby currently serves on the Board of The Angeline Kirby Memorial Health Center, the Fred M. and Jessie A. Kirby Episcopal House, and the Marian Sutherland Kirby Library. Wilkes was an early beneficiary of the generosity of the Kirby family, who donated the Kirby residence at South and South River Streets to the College in 1941. It served for several years as the College Library and currently houses the Department of Language and Literature. President Breiseth said, “We are honored by Allan Kirby’s acceptance to serve on our Board of Trustees and value the insight that a man of his stature will bring to this very important post." A graduate of Lafayette College, Kirby’s interests include affiliations with a variety of business and charitable organizations. He is the owner of River Ridge Farm, Sussex County, New Jersey, and maintains offices in Mendham, New Jersey. il oai) J| ’ll r .r" M it rk 'y- 1 '1 Language Lab Is Renamed to Honor Professor Elwood Disque Elwood Disque, Professor Emeritus in English, began his career as one of the 14 original members of the faculty at Wilkes College (then Bucknell Junior College) in 1935. Except for one summer sabbatical and time spent in the United States Army during World War II, Disque taught at Wilkes for 40 years, until his retirement in 1975. In an expression of appreciation for his many years of service to Wilkes College and an acknowledgement of the positive influence his teaching had on thousands of students, the Department of Language and Literature recently renamed the Language Laboratory in Kirby Hall in Disque’s honor. Herr Disque, as he was affectionately known by his students, taught English and Latin as well as his specialty in German and served as the Chairman of the English Department for 20 years. A native of Wilkes-Barre. Disque earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Dickinson College and did postgraduate work at prestigious German universities and at the Alliance Francaise in Paris. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1939.

President Breiseth said. “In an age in w hich the field of communications is changing so dramatically, it is a wonderful opportunity for Wilkes College to have the talents of Tom Bigler, w hose career includes radio, television, and print journalism. In all of these media, he has shown concern for the English language and for supporting vigorous debate of public issues. He provides a model for our students as they prepare for careers in an industry that is crucial for the quality of our self government." Dr. Breiseth described an endowed chair as a specific capital fund that is part of the College endowment, the cost of which may range from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand dollars, depending on the academic discipline it will serve. The annual income generated is then devoted to a specific purpose, in this case it will fund “The Tom Bigler Chair in Communications" Funding for the chair was made possible by gifts from friends and colleagues of the veteran newsman. Dr. Breiseth said, "Every one with whom I discussed the project has been very enthusiastic, and the response from the community has been gratifying. Funding ; ■. now at a basic level and we hope that additional gifts from Tom’s friends and adate. w ill allow us to fully fund ths chair." 58 COLLEGE QUARTERLY Bigler began his broadcasting career at Hazleton Radio Station WAZL and later worked at various stations both in this market and outside the area. In 1953. he was appointed news director and program director at WILK’s radio station. Bigler in 1962 accepted the Homer Peabody Award for “outstanding public service to the community." and that same year he joined WNEP-TV as director of news and public affairs. Bigler has earned the respect and admiration of the community and professionals in the field of journalism. He has been the recipient of several aw ards, including the Jacob Silverblatt Memorial Award for “outstanding service in the field of human relations." and an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from King's College. Dr. David Tucker, chairman of the Department of Communications, welcomed Bigler.

I am pleased to w elcome him as a member of our faculty.” Bigler will begin teaching in the fall of 1986'. $1.1 Million Program Funded By Ben Franklin Partnership Wilkes College has received approval from the Northeast Tier Advanced Technology Center at Lehigh University of a $1.1 million program. This program will foster cooperative activities between private-sector firms and the College to create and preserve jobs in Pennsylvania. President Breiseth said, "Wilkes will serve as the catalyst for the program, which is sponsored by the Ben Franklin Partnership and encompasses five projects in northeastern Pennsylvania during 1985-86.” The human and technical resources of the College will be used in partnership with private firms and local economic development agencies to achieve the project goals. The projects to be undertaken include: Thermal Construction Modelfor Transistor Package with RCA Corporation.

She has demonstrated through her consistent volunteerism that she has the enthusiasm, the devotion, the energy level, and most important, the skill to lead in the new direction Wilkes has undertaken in its effort to fuse alumni across the nation into a cohesive unit.” Beverly, a “list-maker” by nature, admits to having a number of plans for reaching all alumni. “This first year, I’d like very much to concentrate on structure and organization. We want each of our alumni to feel the personal interest we have in them, and it is not enough to just say we’re interested, we must demonstrate that interest. For example, forming alumni chapters, frequent trips to meet our alumni, staying in touch by mail and through publications are some of the ways we will say ‘we are sincerely interested in you.’ We will be in touch, I promise.” Bev is married to Harry R.

Wilkes College Receives National Recognition President Testifies On Higher Education Because of his well-known commitment to quality in higher education. President Christopher N. Breiseth was invited to testify before the State House Sub-Committee on Higher Education. The hearing convened at the Dorothy Dickson Dane Center for the Performing Arts. The topie of discussion for the hearing was the percentage of Pennsylvanians ■who do not go on to post-secondary education. In presenting his view,. Dr. Breiseth emphasized, "It is crucial to our future that we find ways to succeed educationally with our entire population of young people. This will require a renaissance of teaching and a close working relationship between college and high school faculties." The suggestions offered by Dr. Breiseth and other educational leaders at the hearing will be considered by the House Sub-Committee in its efforts to raise consciousness and inspire participation in higher education among Pennsylvania residents.

The Pew Trust is administered by the Glenmede Trust Company. Describing the project. President Breiseth stated, “This important grant from the Pew Trust will enable each member of the faculty- to grow professionally by enriching professional capabilities and at the same time improving the quality of Wilkes’ overall educational mission. "White a certain amount of scholarly and professional work has always been a routine part of a Wilkes faculty career, this grant will, within a relatively short span of time, accelerate the process to include one hundred percent participation by our faculty." Through an ongoing series of professional seminars both on and off campus, and through the introduction of new team-teaching techniques, the faculty will be given the opportunity to contribute to redesigning a curriculum to reflect the newly defined mission of Wilkes College. Various other methods, such as sabbatical study, scholarly colloquia. and pedagogical research, will also be used in the faculty development program. Dr. Gerald E. Hartdagen, Dean of Academic Affairs, said that the faculty is very supportive of the five-year plan, "We are confident that this will lead to an institution which pursues professional development as an integral part of its mission while assuring that each graduate has a strong basic core of liberal learning.

We were faced with space limitations, forcing us to select among the many newsworthy happenings to share with you. I call your attention to the dramatic growth of graduate studies (page 9). Wilkes now offers master’s degrees in health administration and electrical engineering, and the response ot students has been most positive. Student/Faculty research, always a feature of the Wilkes education, continues (page 4). The spirit ot professional development among faculty, as reported in the Chronicle olHigher Education, is crucial <= to the College's institutional vitality (page 6). I hope these examples suggest the vibrancy on campus. What we can do today to improve the quality of teaching and learning at Wilkes will help assure the College's long-term success in the highly competitive environment of American higher education. One of the most important issues challenging us at present is a five-year effort to revise the core curriculum in response to the changing needs of students preparing for the twenty-first century. We are drawing on the best from our excellent faculty to complete this task because nothing will have greater impact on the future of Wilkes College than the quality of its liberal arts and sciences core curriculum, complementing the strong professional and pre professional degree programs which attract many of our students. I have heard from many ot you with sound suggestions and insights for our future development. Such communication is not only gratifying, it is exhilarating as a sign of how much you value the education you received at Wilkes and how much you want the College to go from strength to strength. Please continue to stay in touch. In our continuing effort to make your relationship with the College mutually beneficial, we have decided, in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, to give children of alumni a 10% discount on tuition at the undergraduate level. To be eligible, students must meet Wilkes' academic requirements for admission, whether as incoming freshmen or as students transferring from other institutions. Dependents now at Wilkes are also included. To be considered dependents, your son or daughter must meet the standards defined by the Internal Revenue Service. You will soon receive a letter from Beverly Hiscox, the new President of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, giving you more details about how your children may apply for the discount. Call our Admissions Office right away if you are interested for this coming academic year. In the weeks ahead, I will be on the road to visit as many of you in the various chapters as possible. The dates confirmed for March are: March 5 in New York, March 17 in San Diego, March 19 in Los Angeles, March 20 in San Francisco. There will be other meetings in our own Northeast and East Central Pennsylvania area. Tony Shipula, the Director of Alumni Relations, will alert alumni in advance ot my visits of the details for our meeting. I look forward to seeing many of you. Your demonstration of interest in Wilkes and your readiness to be identified with your alma mater will help those of us charged with maintaining and strengthening this tine college to do our jobs.

ILLIAM WEP I I.I.Y, Iwl Although the season has passed and snow covers Ralston Field, it is hard for us to forget the 38th Annual Commencement of 1985. One of the people who made this occasion so memorable was Dale R. Corson, eminent physicist and President Emeritus of Cornell University, who delivered the address to the graduating class. At commencement ceremonies, Corson received the Doctor of Science honorary degree from Wilkes College. Dr, Corson, a 1’h.D. in Physics from the University of California, is n recipient of tin Air Force Commendation and the Presidential Certificate of Merit, and is listed in Who’s Who In Aniei icn, Amerlcim Men mid Women of Science.

She is a physician and teacher - a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and one of only four women to receive that pediatric professorship in the 97-year history of the institution; she is the deputy chairman and chief of the Division of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine there; she is an author (several publications and a book on pediatric primary care), and was recently named one of the top seven women pediatricians in the country. She is the wife of Dr. James C. Harris, a professor in Psychiatry and Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins, and she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sandy DeAngelis, Old Forge, PA. Of course, when we at Wilkes get the opportunity to introduce her, we preface that whole impressive list by saying that Dr. DeAngelis is an alumna of Wilkes College, class of 1965. Her accomplishments suggest that this was a carefully chartered course plotted by someone with definite career goals, starting with a diploma in nursing from Scranton State Hospital and working steadily toward her prestigious position in 4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Johns Hopkins today. Cathy answered the goals question quickly, “No, what I really wanted to be in high school was a doctor, and mostly a medical missionary for the Maryknolls who would work with the underprivileged in third world countries. But my father saw things a bit differently and refused to sign the necessary papers. I didn’t completely give up the idea of becoming a Maryknoll, I just kind of shelved it for a while. What I did pursue was medicine. Sure, I wanted to be a doctor but at that time it would have been an impossible financial burden for my family. So I went to nursing as an alternative.” When she graduated from the Scranton State Hospital School of Nursing, Cathy decided to go on staff at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York, "Because it was a good hospital,” she said, “and because it was only a one and one-half hour train ride to the Maryknoll headquarters in upstate New York.” She took that train ride to the Maryknoll novitiate and had a lengthy interview with a woman who proved that her father was absolutely right all along. “It was incredible. In an hour, this woman focused on all the restrictions of the lifestyle of a Maryknoll. She didn’t tell me what I could do; she told me what I would not be allowed to do. Well, this was what I was facing now in nursing. The course I’d need to follow as a novitiate was too restricted and lengthy.” It would take years more before she would be out among the sick and the poor. Cathy did, however, know that she couldn’t stay in nursing. “My level of frustration was extremely high. I wanted to do more. I wanted to be a doctor, but how?” On the train ride back to New York, Cathy decided to try. “I had a chemistry teacher at Old Forge High School, a wonderful man by the name of Ed Claus, who had always encouraged me to pursue medicine as a profession. I decided to see him and ask his advice; and when I walked into his office to tell him that I wanted to go back to school, that I wanted to look into becoming a doctor, he was not surprised. He picked up the phone and called John Whitby, who was then Dean of Admissions at Wilkes College. Mr. Whitby said he’d wait for us (it was a Saturday morning) to come down to campus to see him.” As she told Whitby about her experiences at Columbia, about how she asked to work intensive care because she felt more needed there, about how she looked for volunteer duty at the healthcare clinics during her off-hours, and about her driving need to become a doctor, Whitby made the decision to accept her as a student. "And it was then that I began to ask about the cost and tuition. Whitby was wonderful, he assured me that we would investigate every possibility for financial aid that would allow me to pursue my dream.” The one thing that Cathy remembers clearly is walking around campus that day, “For such a long time I’d had the feeling that I was looking for something, and walking through Stark Learning Center that Saturday morning I thought, this is it, this is the beginning." She was right. Her career in medicine, she is proud to say, was launched at Wilkes College and nurtured by two people she met there, Dr. Charles Reif, professor emeritus in Biology and then a member o the faculty of the Bio Department, and Dr. Sheldon Cohen, director of the Immunology, Allergic, and Immunologic Disease Program at the National ^ns'1'Llte of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. T ey were amazing teachers and they expecte amazing accomplishments from their students,” Cathy said. Cathy remembers nearly freezing to death at Harvey s a on one of Dr. Reifs famous (or infamo field trips. She laughingly tells you that “For such a long time, I’d had the feeling that I was looking for something. Walking through Stark Learning Center that Saturday morning I thought this is it, this is the beginning.” WILKES C01 you not only collected and analyzed samples, you took photos of the thing and catalogued it. “He pushed you to your limits, and beyond to show you what you could and should accomplish.” “Dr. Cohen,” she continued, “forced you to think with him in research. He also taught you how to do everything you had to do from cleaning the lab cages to doing basic research in sophisticated projects.” According to Cathy, there perhaps were other schools that had more diversified curriculum but none, and she emphasizes none, who could have given more one-to-one research interaction between professor and student than at Wilkes. She graduated from Wilkes in 1965 and chose the University of Pittsburgh for pre-med, where she received her M.D. in 1969. Cathy never let go of the missionary idea and in the next three years, after receiving herM.D., would serve in Nicaragua, in Africa, and in Peru. “There was such need and the doctors had to be resourceful. We had to use our hands, minds, eyes, intuition to help those people. There was little else to use in those countries.” When she was in Peru, Cathy spent three and one-half days a week teaching. She would then drive into the hills to work with the uneducated poor who needed immunization shots for everything. Even measles was still a killer there. She remembered an incident that occurred while she was in the Peruvian mountains. “I met another woman who was doing the same thing, immunizing and teaching these people. She was a nurse and guess what else, a Mary knoll missionary.” They are still close friends and now' colleagues. Cathy’s amazing career has so many highlights that it is difficult to list them in sequence. But one of the things of which she is proud is the nurse practitioner program that she developed and implemented first in Peru, and then back in the United States in the ghettos of Roxbury and Harlem. Another highlight happened when she returned from Peru. She renewed a friendship with a colleague. Dr. James C. Harris. “We’d worked together as interns at Johns Hopkins, and we were good friends.” Then the friendship deepened and when he proposed, he suggested to Cathy that she could still take vows in the Maryknoll chapel; they'd just be a different kind. They were married. A proud Wilkes College bestowed another honor on Cathy at Commencement Ceremonies in May. She was selected as the recipient of the Eugene S. Farley Memorial Award for Alumni. In her address to graduates she called attention to the “excellence in humanistic and academic education” that she received at Wilkes, which she said would, “enable you as graduates to pursue with pride and assurance any field of endeavor you choose.” She concluded her talk with a special thank you to her parents, “who were my inspiration and support and who served as role models for my life.” The following is a quotation from the dedication in one of her books. “This book is dedicated to the butterfly, who escapes the ugly cocoon to become a thing of beauty in flight; and to the bee who also flies despite science which proves that she cannot; but especially to my parents who have taught me the importance of such things and to my husband, who reminds me of them daily.” WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 5 �participation advancing the College on and off campus.” McCoy received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration at this year’s Commencement ceremonies. Dr. Claude W. Anderson tocu§ head of the journalism program; and Doris Barker, the Registrar. Without their help and kindness. 1 don’t know what I would have done. There are two other people I owe so very much to. And that’s my mother and father. God gave me the ability to string together words into fairly coherent sentences. But the desire and the determination and the courage to take that ability and run with it as far as I could, I got from them. My Mom passed away two years ago. but my Dad is here today. And I'd like to tell him something that I should’ve told him a long, long time ago. And that is thank you. And thank you. Paul J. Domowitch ’76 — Distinguished Young Alumnus 1986 ?2_’:Dcr.r-ixh.

McCoy, illustrates the ideals of campus and community service through his contributions and achievements. McCoy, a native of Pittsford, New York, attended Wilkes College as a resident student. He served as treasurer for the Dormitory Council of Priapus Hall his sophomore year, as resident assistant of Diaz Hall his junior year, and as resident assistant of Denison Hail his senior year, proving his commitment to the quality of residence life at Wilkes. The finest illustration of McCoy’s dedication to student life, however, is hi', nxord as a member of the college s hirst Aid Squad. McCoy joined the squad as a freshman, and within a year was promoted to first lieutenant. In IdHd. lic b'^amc captain ol the squad, and refaind‘1 th'; position through tin- I9K5 B6 I academic year. As squad captain. McCoy was an instrumental force in securing a new vehicle for the college, used to transport students to local hospitals. McCoy’s involvement in the community is no less impressive than his work on the Wilkes campus. He has been an ambulance dispatcher in Pittsford, a driver for the Back Mountain. Pennsylvania. Mobile Intensive Care Unit, and a driver for the West Side Paramedic Unit of Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, Kingston, Pennsylvania. He has also served the American Red Cross as a member of the Disaster Emergency Response Team, a C.P.R. instructor, and an Advanced First Aid Instructor. Dean George Ralston. Special Assistant to Alumni Relations, served on the committee that selected McCoy. In his words, "Charles is a young man who personifies genuine service. He is concerned with helping others, without thought of personal reward or gain. He is an unsung hero who doesn't look for credit, and a very tieserving choice for this award." Ralston's comments also reinforce McCoy's selection as the winner of die Teresa Jordan and Flunk Mehm Prize earlier this year, as the award is given to "that undergraduate who . , . most nearly represents the ideal relleeting, moral courage, unsellishness, mid noteworthy eAliaeurrieulai The Carpenter Outstanding Teacher Award, established in recognition of the B. G. Carpenter family and their contributions to the Wyoming Valley, is presented each year to a deserving member of the Wilkes College faculty, elected by a faculty committee. This year, the award was presented to Dr. Claude W. Anderson, III, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at the college. Although Anderson has only been a member of the Wilkes family for five years, he has distinguished himself as an outstanding educator in the minds of both students and faculty. According to Dr. James Rodechko. chairman of the selection committee and a past recipient of the Carpenter Award. “Dr. Anderson won out this year over some very stiff competition. In the selection process, we rely heavily on student evaluations, and these were probably the biggest single factor in Dr. Anderson’s case. Student opinion reflected the highest regard for him — in fact, we received several unsolicited letters from students who cited his ability to communicate, his thorough explanations of academic material, and his approachability.'’ “Students today, have a desire to be challenged, and to achieve more than they think they can." Perhaps Anderson is able to communicate so well w ith his students because of his personal pb.ilosoph) on teaching. "Students today.” ho says, "have a desire to be challenged, and to achieve more than they think (hey can. Bringing out the potential in a student requires a creative approach, so that the student w ill strive to do more w ithout i caching the pomt vvhere ho or she givcs up.

And there's no mistaking the purpose of the E&ES Department — it's a place where students and faculty work together to make a difference, whether they are in the classroom, the laboratory, or the field. Wilkes E&ES is a department where things happen! 1985-86 has been a busy year for the department. In the minds of many students and faculty, it will be remembered as the year of the radon project, conducted by members of the E&ES senior seminar in cooperation with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Council (NEPEC). Working under the direction of Dr. Brian Redmond. Chairman of the Department, and Ed Dructor. executive director of NEPEC. seniors examined levels of radon gas, a naturally-occurring decay product of uranium found in soils and rock formations. Radon gas in the atmosphere is not considered a dangerous outdoor pollutant, but it can concentrate in significant levels indoors, and has been implicated in the formation of lung cancer. For this reason, radon is an important environmental concern, and the sort of issue that draws the attention of the E&ES Department. The Wilkes/NEPEC radon study placed detectors for the substance in buildings throughout northeastern Pennsylvania, and in parts of Central and Southern Pennsylvania. New York, and New Jersey. Several months later, detector levels were analyzed and placed in a computer database developed by the class for this study. Results were then compared to questionnaires completed by participants in the study, in an effort to determine factors that might affect indoor radon levels. The radon project proved to be an enormous success, both for the students and the affected community. Months of study culminated in a series of meetings and press events, as public demand for information on the issue grew. The completed preliminary radon study has evolved into a continuous monitoring program for NEPEC. and will serve as the model for a similar study to be conducted ar West Che. ter University. Philadelphia. Another face- of departmental research where tudents maintain an active role i.

WELCOME The hallway leading to the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department offices provides visitors with a visual introduction to the discipline. Facility, now familiar across the state as the Wilkes Giardia Lab. The laboratory was established as a result of the 1984-85 giardiasis crisis in Pennsylvania (see Quarterly, Winter 1985), and has been increasing its operations ever since. As it enters its second year of operation, the facility is capable of testing for a variety of contaminants in addition to giardia, and has become a consulting and educational resource for the community According to Dr. Mike Case, assistant pro.e /.orof E&ES and director of the Giardia Lab, students play a vital role as skilled technicians, working under the close supervision of appropriate faculty, in all water quality and air quality facilities in the E&ES department. "In the face of rapid expansion,” he says, “we are still faithful to the philosophy that student involvement is necessary for the success of our work. Students here arc thought of as ‘junior associates,’ occupied with very real scientific work that may have far-reaching consequences. They are educating themselves while helping others, and in the process they are receiving invaluable experience. The wealth of opportunities available to E&ES students is also evident when Redmond speaks of the nature of E&ES education. “Our students have developed a reputation for environmental ethics, scientific knowledge, and a positive attitude that makes them sought after as interns and employees. As undergraduates, E&ES majors have an incredible number of opportunities to gain experience in the field, through independent studies, topics courses, senior seminars, field studies, laboratory work, and internships. An E&ES major would be hard-pressed to earn a degree without having participated in at least one, and usually more, of these activities.” Case agrees. “We supply the opportunities — it’s up to the students to take them.” And take them they do. E&ES graduates can be found in some of the nation’s top graduate programs, and are employed as geologists, meteorologists, water quality and hazardous waste specialists, technical writers, teachers, and more. Erie Johnson received his B.S. in E&ES from Wilkes in 1983, and in three short years, has completed his M.S. in Geology at SUNY-Binghamton and begun work on a Ph.D. in igneous and metamorphic petrology. In completing the requirements for his Master’s, Johnson conducted research in southwestern Montana, and worked for the New York Geological Survey mapping in the Adirondacks. During the 1986-87 academic year, Johnson will serve on the full-time faculty of SUNY-Binghamton, teaching Optical Crystallography and Mineralogy. To Johnson, the strength of his Wilkes experience lies in "the breadth of the scientific background I was given by the department. Although my specialization is geology, I can talk about meteorology, water quality, and any other environmental science — a definite advantage in a classroom situation. Now that I am teaching, I can really appreciate the quality to which I was exposed at Wilkes." E&ES majors are not the only students who credit the department with providing career experience. Yvette Simmons received her B.A. in English from Wilkes this year, and is already employed as a technical writer. As she puts it, "The nine months I spent as an intern with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources was a valuable supplement to my academic training. I learned of the complexity of environmental problems facing our generation, and feel that 1 am now able to make a significant contribution io public awareness of these problems. Without the help supplied by Dr. Redmond and the department, I might have missed an incredible opportunity.” Proof of the success of Simmons' experience is the upcoming publication of her article, “Acid Mine Drainage in Northeast Pennsylvania Waterways,” in the fall edition of Water Pollution Control Association ofPennsylvania Magazine. The success enjoyed by E&ES students, both during their college years and in various fields upon graduation, owes much to the academic training and professional experience this program offers. But Bill Toothill, executive director of the Susquehanna River Tri-State Association (SRTSA) and a new member of the E&ES faculty, sees another dimension to the educational program. "There is a certain attitude in this department that you can sense almost immediately,” he says, “and in the year that I’ve been here. I’ve discovered the reason behind it. E&ES faculty are dedicated to motivating each student, and when that motivation takes hold, the energy becomes infectious. This is a close-knit group, supportive of all its members, and its result is a level of scientific creativity and productivity that is amazing.” The standards that exist in the department have also proven beneficial to Toothill at the SRTSA. where E&ES students are employed as interns on a regular basis. “They bring both scientific knowledge and professionalism to the job — how can you lose with that arrangement? In all. E&ES projects have been conducted this year in alliance with institutions such as the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources. NEPEC, the Environmental Protection Agency. Pennsylvania Power and Light Company, the Susquehanna River Tri-State Association, the Pennsylvania State University, and others. Many of these also involved the Wilkes College departments of Biology. Physics. Engineering. Chemistry. English, and Communications. A stranger to the college might view such a record as ample reason for a vacation. But not for this department. Plans are already underway for next year, which promises to be just as busy as the last. Obviously, it takes a special kind of department to keep up a schedule, and a reputation. like that of Earth and Enx ironmental Sciences. As one F&ES graduate remembers. "They ncxer promised y ou that the work would be easy; they did promise tl would be interesting. And it was alw ay s worthwhile.” Wil KES COLLEGE CL AS? �“At Wilkes, professors know students by name and look on them as individuals. This is unusual and it creates an atmosphere conducive to learning” Vinovrski Named New Dean of Admissions at Wilkes College Second, I do agree there is a challenge here, but anyone in admissions, whether private or public, faces a challenge. It is a highly competitive field. But, for me, it is a different kind of challenge, and one that I’m looking forward to because we have so much to offer students at Wilkes. It is a family school. It is great for us (admissions staff) to know that a student will come here and be happy because there is an atmosphere at a small school that you can’t talk about in recruiting for the big universities. Even at Bloomsburg, where enrollment is 5,000 — not really too big — students cannot get that feeling they derive from the one-to-one interaction with faculty. At Wilkes, professors know students by name and look on them as individuals. That is unusual and it creates an atmosphere conducive to learning. By Jane Manganella WILKES-BARRE - Bernard J. Vinovrski, former Wilkes College admissions officer, has returned to head the College's student recruiting program. Vinovrski's selection was the final step in a six-month national search by Wilkes officials. He was formerly serving as Director of Admissions at Bloomsburg University' where he has been a member of the administrative staff for eight years. His extensive background includes experience at every' level of the admissions proces During his tenure at Bloomsburg, he advanced from assistant to associate to director of Admissions. He also served as interim assistant to the President and was a member of the President's Cabinet. Vinovrski, a 1969 graduate of Wilkes College with a degree in Business Administration, also earned the M.S. in Education in 1976, and the M.B.A. in Marketing in 1978 from Wilkes. He is familiar with the admissions process at Wilkes and has worked closely with the high schools in Northeast Pennsylvania for 15 years, having served as assistant director of admissions at Wilkes from 1971 through 1974 and as associate director during the period 1976-78. His duties at both Wilkes and Bloomsburg included planning institutional strategy for recruitment, coordinating the recruitment effort between the Financial Aid office and the Admissions office, and serving as a liaison between the Public Relations office and Admissions for publications. 10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY I ~ The following questions and answers are excerpts from a recent interview with Dean Vinovrski. Q. Wilkes, like most other private independent colleges, relies more on tuition-generated income than colleges in the public sector. This has to represent a greater challenge to you here than at Bloomsburg. What are some ofthe reasons you decided to come back to Wilkes? A. Let me say first that I didn’t make the decision quickly. I’ve been in admissions for a number of years, certainly long enough to know the enormous amount of accountability the position entails. I spent a lot of time evaluating the move. I first talked to high school counselors and found they were very positive about the direction Wilkes College is taking. They feel we arc projecting, planning, and meeting the needs of students who arc moving into a highly sophisticated, technically-oriented society. Q. You have indicated that you will work closely with alumni in recruitment. What are your plans fordoing so? A. We are fortunate to have outstanding alumni throughout the country. I would like to ask their help as we move toward a more comprehensive, more structured admissions program. However, we must first identify alumni who are willing to be involved as admissions representatives, especially those who live in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. When we do identify them, we would begin to conduct training workshops so that they could be reintroduced to Wilkes College and what is happening here. I believe that these workshops are necessary. It is awkward for alumni who are asked questions to which they cannot respond. For example, they need to know enrollment figures, tuition and residence costs, faculty-to-student ratios; they even need to know who the coaches are. It is our responsibility to give them that and any other information they may need. Q. Many colleges have elaborate networking systems between admissions, faculty, and administration as well as alumni. Do you plan to enlist the help of faculty and administration ? A. Yes, and thanks to Tony Shipula (our alumni director), President Breiseth and Jack Meyers (acting dean of admissions for the last academic year, 1985-86) much of the basic work has been done. President Breiseth and Tony have been visiting alumni throughout the country and have developed an agenda for 1986-87. This is an important outreach approach, (look for this agenda in the next issue of the Quarterly) and I hope alumni will come out and visit with us. In reference to faculty. Jack Meyers has developed a good rapport with them and individual departments have offered to help with or sponsor college nights and visitation days on campus. This is a vital part of the admissions process. Q. Wilkes has just gone to a new academic structure. . . the School ofEngineering and Physical Sciences, the College ofArts and Sciences, and the School of Business and Economics. Will this reorganization help in your recruitment efforts? A. There is.no doubt that it will help. It will answer the ever-increasing need to prepare students for the job market without losing the ability to give them the broad-based, liberal arts background they need to articulate whatever field of study they choose. This new structure and the curriculum it produces will give Wilkes College students the best education they can get anywhere. It will help us achieve the excellence in education to which we at Wilkes have dedicated ourselves. Q. I know you have extensive plans for admissions but briefly, what is sour immediate plan ofaction for 1986-87? A. We will coordinate and intensify our program. We will identify our market and then reach it. Wilkes has, as I said, excellent faculty, facilities, and programs, and we now have to let people know we're here. Fortunately 1 have a staff who are equipped and eager to tell that story . WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 11 ��“Within the legal and ethical parameters of the profession, the nurse assumes the role of a practitioner, client-advocate, teacher, researcher and leader.” DEPARTMENT A Decade has Passed byJane Manganella A decade has passed since Wilkes College conferred its first Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) Degree. In that comparatively short span of time the profession of nursing has grown up. and the department at Wilkes College has kept pace and can take pride in a faculty, curriculum, and educational facility that can be looked upon as a model in higher education for nursing students. The concept of the profession of nursing w as, in the not too distant past, one of limited vision and held not only by doctors and patients but by nurses themselves. Nursing was generally considered a career but not a profession; a service organization whose membership was deper.dem on others for leadership ar.d decision making. Wilkes College sought to change that w hen in 1972 it admitted its first class of students who would pursue the B.S.N. instead of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education B.S.N.E.; that it had offered since 1954. In the ercmng 10 years the concept ha; changed. In a self-study by the 1985, it is stated precisely that, “Within rite legal arc ethical parameters of the profession, the nurse assumes the role of practiticr-er. client-advocate, teacher, researcher, and leader..." a rar different per cert" ritar. pre-. held by raises ar.i their p-'clic-..

G .: ',--/7,',':rr.ed about many things, one of which was the financial burden that initiating the program might entail. I said. ‘Do you want to seek monies in the form of grants to support the program?' He looked rather surprised and said. ‘Are there monies?' When I said that there were government funds available but proposals would have to be written and I volunteered to do that, he said. ‘When can you start?'” Start she did in June of 1971, and she didn't stop until she retired in 1981. During those years Mrs. McHenry' not only wTOte successful grants, bringing almost one million dollars from various sources to help fund and establish the department, she also designed a curriculum in 1971 for the nurse of the 1980's. This curriculum, written long before the changes in healthcare were obvious, fits perfectly into the contemporary healthcare needs of society today. Many of her contemporaries have called Ruth's designing of that curriculum almost visionary. There are so many specialities within the curriculum that apply to the needs of the general public in healthcare. She also put great emphasis on faculty development and the excellent credentials held by Wilkes nursing faculty today reflect that emphasis. It became critical then, in 1971, to get approval for the curriculum from the myriad of accreditation boards necessary before the plan could be carried further. *'J presented and defended the curriculum before the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners in June. It was fully approved and I knew/ we were on our way.” The department is also accredited by the National League of Nursing. A major part of Mrs. McHenry’s plan •xas to provide students a self-learning center at Wilkes where they could develop hands-on skills they would need as practitioners, "1 wanted students to have available to them a facility where •■ie-.j criuld go to practice classroom theory. There they would work independently to develop clinical skills that would assure self-confidence in the professional arena." This center was designed by her and is now housed on the third floor of Stark Learning Center. It has been a model for other institutions, many of which send representatives to see the mini-hospital setting on the campus at Wilkes College. Mrs. McHenry’s diverse career in nursing included a diploma from Wyoming Valley Hospital, followed by 15 years of private duty nursing; a B.S. from Teachers College at Columbia University; and the M.A. in Nursing Education Administration. Her goal was to use her knowledge accumulated over the years to help build a sound baccalaureate program at Wilkes College. She retired in 1981. A search was conducted to find her successor, and in July of that year Virginia Nehring was appointed chairman of the department. Dr. Nehring holds the B.S.N. from University of Bridgeport and her M.S.N. from Yale University School of Nursing. Sixty-four credits of her doctoral work were done at Boston University School of Nursing, and she completed her Ph.D. in Nursing Research at Walden University. Dr. Nehring believed in preparing nurses to be “politically astute, aware of ethical issues in nursing,” and her overriding goal she stated succinctly, “Our ultimate goal is excellence. We will direct our energies to the preparation of excellent practitioners — nurses well-trained clinically and in nursing theory.” It was under her tutelage that faculty development reached new highs. Credentials for faculty also achieved excellence during her tenure for the next five years until she decided, in June of 1986, to step down from the chairmanship and “get back to teaching, which I miss very much." Picking up the challenge to maintain the excellence that has become an Portonma. Row 2: Judy Schreiber, Jean Steelman. Linda Desmond. Annette Glmdemm. Theresa <?-.:be.

Donley (above) received the honorary' Doctor of Humane Letters degree, and Winsor received the honorary Doctor of Science degree. In presenting the degrees. President Christopher N. Breiseth delivered the following citations: “Edward Donley, you have actively fostered the crucial partnership between business and education for the vitality of our nation and its economy in an increasingly competitive and interdependent world. “You have used your corporate leadership position to secure business support for higher education. As chairman of the Business-Higher Education Forum of the American Council of Education, you have worked to increase financial investment by corporations in our colleges and universities recognizing the dependence of a competitive American economy upon an ever-more educated work force and iO V 16 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY upon research in all fields carried out in our institutions of higher education. “You have been as determined as a corporate leader to support effective education in your neighboring local schools, recognizing that an educated citizenry and work force begins in elementary school. “You have also focused on the quality and cost of health care. “Having just assumed the chairmanship of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the first Pennsylvanian to serve in this leadership position in the 75-year history of the Chamber, you become a spokesman for American business not only within our country but throughout the world. “Quiet but thorough, balanced yet determined, you bring a finely tempered sensitivity to your many responsibilities. “A son and grandson of teachers, you have carried the role of educator into the world of business. “At a time when American higher education faces crippling financial problems, we in the academy celebrate the presence in national and international business circles of such a leader who is bending his efforts to increase the investment by businesses in our educational institutions. “Eleanor W. Winsor, you have provided leadership to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the effort to protect our environment. Through the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, which you helped found and have led for the past sixteen years, you have sought to educate the public, to prod our government and to stimulate industry to find ways to clean up our water and our air. Rather than searching for scapegoats for the many abuses of the environment to which we have all contributed, you have brought together people from the public and private sectors to discover the extent of the damage and to develop techniques and incentives to reverse it. Rational, clear, persistent, articulate, you have been in the lead in focusing our attention on what we all must do. “From your efforts, the public regulations have taken shape and been adopted, and our behavior as corporate and individual citizens has improved. What you did over the last decade and a half to mobilize our understanding and our energies to improve our air and water, you have been doing more recently to help the Commonwealth address the problems of hazardous and solid waste, which you regard as urgent for the economic and ecological health of this state. -You have brought research and ction together through the effective organization of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and the Pennsylvania Environmental Research Foundation. While you now leave these institutions to a new generation of leaders and seek other avenues of service to protect the quality of our environment, Wilkes today recognizes your continuing contributions. “From our own efforts at the College to help vouchsafe the environment of Northeastern Pennsylvania to future generations in better shape than we found it, we recognize in you a colleague and a leader.” GRANTS: Wilkes Procures Two New Grants A $44,500 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and a grant from the Surdna Foundation will benefit Wilkes College over the next year, according to Sandra Beynon, Director of Foundations and Grants Management. The educational grant, received under the Title II Education for Economic Security Program of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, will be used to develop an in-service teacher training program in mathematics and computer science. Two hundred elementary, middle schools, and junior high schools are included in the service area of the program. The second grant, received from the Surdna Foundation of New York, will aid alumni annual giving. Under the terms of the grant, Surdna will donate one dollar for each dollar received that exceeds last year’s level of giving at the college. All funds received from Surdna under the terms of this “Challenge Grant” will be used for student aid.

W To the Alumni of Wilkes College and ofBucknell University Junior College By the time you read this, the Breiseths W1 1 have reached their second anniversary in Wilkes-Barre. It has been an eventful beginning. My letter to you is something of a progress report on these first two years, as well as an appeal. Before I arrived on campus, Wilkes College had achieved a remarkable half-century of growth, with a reputation for providing its students with a quality liberal arts experience. Increasingly, and in line with other colleges and universities, Wilkes had been attracting a greater proportion of its students to professional and pre-professional degree programs. When I arrived in 1984, more than 75% of the students were majoring in such programs. In addition, full-time enrollments had dropped since 1980 in line with the changing demography of the Northeastern United States, while part-time and graduate enrollment increased. Financially, these changes stimulated a long-range effort to deal with difficult staffing and budgeting issues. Fortunately, under Robert Capin’s leadership the College remained in the black, an essential condition for private colleges and universities with small endowments if they are to survive the rigorous challenges of the 1980s. Wilkes, in 1983-84, conducted a serious marketing study which presented me with a valuable starting point to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the College. I agreed with the study that Wilkes College needed to sharpen its definition of mission since it has become a more diverse and ambitious institution. While still a relatively small liberal arts college, with a full-time undergraduate enrollment of about 1,750, Wilkes has also become a graduate school offering programs not only on the Wilkes campus but throughout Pennsylvania. If one adds all the part-time undergraduate and graduate students working for degrees, the enrollment shoots up to nearly 3.000. If one adds the continuing education and special program students, that number nearly doubles. In the past two years, we together have redefined the mission of Wilkes. We have made important progress in strengthening the quality, accountability, and energy ot the faculty through an imaginative program of peer evaluation and professional development. This plan. Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth designed by the faculty themselves, was greatly aided by a three-year. $300,000 grant from the Pew Memorial Trust. The recognition of these efforts in the Chronicle of Higher Education brought us some valuable national attention and alerted us to our potential for providing leadership in these sensitive areas to others in higher education, while increasing the national reputation of the College. Organizationally, we needed both to be more cohesive and to give greater definition to some of our professional programs which account for a substantial part of our enrollment. The result is that we have announced the formation of the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, combining engineering, physics, and earth and environmental sciences and the formation of the School of Business and Economics, formed from the Commerce and Finance Department. At the same time, and to provide leadership for other departments and for the critical revision of the core curriculum now underway, we have created a College of Arts and Sciences. These changes will facilitate our recruitment efforts for the broad and specialized publics we must reach. (The next issue of the Quarterly will focus on these changes.) WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 19 �Our service to Northeast Pennsylvania continues to grow. One critical concern is that of environmental quality. We are blessed with abundant water and other natural resources necessary for economic growth, but we do have problems of environmental abuse that need to be corrected. With our research and testing facilities at Wilkes, we are working with government and industry to monitor the quality of air and water and help discover new ways of dealing with industrial waste and other pollution. The honorary degrees given at Commencement to Edward Donley. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., and to Eleanor Winsor, founder and executive of the very hard and was frequently discouraged, but the faculty, while demanding, really cared and believed 1 could succeed. I did." While I hear from you how vital Wilkes College has been in the lives of its students, many of you tend to murmur, when asked where you went to college. “I went to a little college in Pennsylvania." We need you to lift up your chin and say loud and clear, "I went to Wilkes College.” We need you to include Wilkes College in your resumes and in public relations releases about your triumphs. In short, we need your help in increasing the national recognition of this fine college. You need us. too, the Wilkes College of today. a. An architectural rendering ofthe proposed Recreation-Conference-Spons Center. (RCSC) Pennsylvania Environmental Council, reflect our commitment to bring College, government, and industry together in the great tasks of improving our economic and physical environment. While these and many other efforts have been absorbing energies on campus, I have been meeting alumni around the country. Several impressions have struck me about you. Over and over. I have heard the following: • "I did not realize when I left Wilkes how well I had been educated. In graduate school. I was as well, if not better, prepared than students from the top colleges and universities.” • “Wilkes faculty taught me to write and to think.” • "Being at Wilkes was like being part of a family. It was the most intimate, supportive environment I have ever been in." • “If 1 had not had the opportunity to attend Wilkes, I would not be where I am now. I owe Wilkes a great deal." • "Wilkes showed me what today is called "tough love." I had to work 20 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY In all the efforts to build Wilkes, and to rebuild it after the flood of 1972, there has not been the opportunity for staying in touch with our 15,000 alumni. Wilkes needs, and we hope you want, this kind of communication. With alumnus Bernie Vinovrski '69 taking over as Dean of Admissions, we think you will be hearing more from Wilkes, encouraging you to learn enough about the College today so that you can feel confident in recommending it to your children and grandchildren and to friends and acquaintances. I hope we will be enrolling increasing numbers of alumni dependents using the 10% reduction in tuition. Through the efforts of alumnus Tony Shipula '78. Director of Alumni Relations, working with the Wilkes Alumni Association and President Beverly Blakeslee Hiscox ’58, you will have the opportunity to relate directly with other Wilkes alumni in your area. This opportunity should be enjoyable for you and serve to strengthen the College as only active alumni can. Joining these individuals in building relations with our alumni is Dean of Student Affairs Emeritus George Ralston. Drawing upon his unparalleled knowledge of the College and his friendships with students from the last forty years, he is going to help mobilize our efforts to construct a new Recreation/ Confcrencc/Sports Center on the site of the present gymnasium. Every comprehensive report on the College, written by visiting accrediting teams and by College committees, has identified the urgent need to improve the recreational and sports facilities at Wilkes. This effort to build the new Center will be one part of a capital campaign to be announced this fall, which will also focus on the need to increase faculty salaries and student aid through an ever-larger endowment. The endowment is presently valued at $8,000,000. If you want to help in the early stage of this critical campaign, please get in touch with Tony Shipula or George Ralston. To help us with the raising of funds, the Surdna Foundation has just awarded us a $50,000 challenge grant to increase both the percentage of giving and the amount raised by the alumni in the 1986 annual campaign over the result in 1985. The annual campaign must continue and grow even when we are going through a three-to-five-year capital campaign. If you have not given to Wilkes in recent years, I urge you to give this fall when you are approached, whether in person, by phone, or by mail, in order to help us increase the percentage of alumni giving. If you have given, I urge you to increase the amount to help us exceed last year’s total by at least $50,000. The Surdna grant will be used for student financial assistance. In the first two phases of the 1986 annual campaign (the community and corporate phases) we have substantially exceeded our goals. With your help, we can do so among the alumni. I was impressed by the Wilkes College I encountered two years ago; I am proud of the progress the College has made in the last two years. As we work together to strengthen the College for the next century, we are engaged in a most rewarding kind of investment in ourselves and in our posterity. I am confident that you will find Wilkes College playing an increasingly active and visible role in the crucial debates over our nation’s educational system — and I am confident you will be proud to say aloud, “Wilkes is my alma mater.” Stay in touch.

There is a general trend at work here; a trend that recognizes the Ik \\ ! Theodore Engel, Dean ofthe School ofBusiness and Economics. Sch: off IBimsmess 7 inn fomomfcs by Melissa Meyers Madison Avenue advertising executives seem to be spending a lot of time on Wall Street these days, sending out messages about the fast-paced business world and the crunch of technology on the modernday business office. All of this talk can be a bit overwhelming to the student of business and economics — after all, just what does this rapidly changing field expect from today’s graduate? According to Theodore Engel. Dean of the School of Business and Economics, the answer is easily obtained by keeping in touch with the business world, and listening to its expectations. This is what members of the business and economics programs at Wilkes have done for years, and these days, they’re receiving surprising information. Today’s business leaders expect from students precisely what yesterday's did — proficiency in their chosen specialization, but with a strong foundation in liberal arts and an eye to the future. 4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY These expectations spell good news to students in the new School of Business and Economics, since a strong liberal arts foundation, topped off by professional­ level training in the areas of Accounting, Business Administration, and Economics, and interdisciplinary ventures such as Computer Information Systems and Engineering Management is precisely what the School has to offer. And the advent of the new school structure, notes Engel, provides the perfect forum within which the balance of traditional education and contemporary business training can be reached. Although maintaining a liberal arts tradition in the face of a changing society may seem contradictory, Engel notes that a sound knowledge of business practices today proves otherwise. “In a day when people are concerned with landing that first job, receiving that first paycheck, Wilkes has moved beyond that. We have already proven our ability to place our graduates in the field (last year, the Accounting Department alone boasted nearly a 100% success rate for graduates entering the job market), and we are now concerned with producing a well-rounded human being that is flexible and proficient enough to move beyond that first position into top management. “The importance of developing as a person is not being ignored at Wilkes; nor is it being ignored by business schools across the country. There is a general trend at work here; a trend that recognizes the individual. And of course, the individualism of each student that enters Wilkes has always been of paramount importance.” In capitalizing on this national trend, Engel sees the role of the School of Business and Economics as presenting a myriad of opportunities to the student, but letting him or her choose which opportunities to take. It is a matter of motivating the students in the right direction, preparing them to take that direction, and supporting them in their endeavors. But, even as the school remains faithful to the liberal arts tradition, the wealth of opportunities available in a growing market must effect change within the Business and Economics curriculum. Among the most noticeable curricular changes at the School of Business and Economics is the integration of microcomputers into academic programs at the introductory level; admittedly, a move to “keep current with technology’s influence on business.” However, even as the business world recognizes the value of technology, many technical fields are recognizing the value of business skills in effective management. The School of Business and Economics plays an active role in programs at the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, which answer the call of these technical fields on business. One such program, developed in a cooperative effort between the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Business and Economics, is the Computer and Information Systems (C.I.S.) major. This program, which stresses the role of computer systems in business and industrial organizations, requires the student to take courses in programming, systems analysis, and database management, as well as accounting, marketing, and managerial finance. A C.I.S. major is then qualified to provide computer expertise in a variety of business situations, depending on which business concentration he or she chooses. Another program that utilizes business and managerial skills is the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences’ Engineering Management program. Students pursuing an Engineering Management degree declare a preference in electrical, environmental, or materials engineering, and supplement that concentration with business and economics courses. Upon graduation, the successful student is qualified for management positions in engineering, and can go on to complete the requirements for an M.B.A. in only one year. The School of Business and Economics has many programs that interface with the College and the other School; for instance, the Earth and Environmental Scicnces/Business track and the History/M.B. A. five-year track arc already on the books, and programs that link business with areas such as Psychology and Communications are in the planning stages. And, working with the Division of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, they offer two of Wilkes most successful graduate programs: the Master of Health Services Administration, which trains managers in various health care fields; and the popular Master of Business Administration, which carries the highest enrollment among Wilkes graduate programs. The cooperation across the college for these interdisciplinary programs is not only admirable, it is necessary for the development of the School as Engel envisions it. “We have a strong track record with brokerages and banks, and strong majors in traditional areas like marketing, accounting, and finance. Now it is time to branch out into technical areas as we are doing, and to develop a stronger international bent. As the School garners more enrollment from metropolitan areas such as Philadelphia, Elmira, Binghamton, and central New Jersey, it becomes necessary to meet these students' interests in this area. This will also help us to develop the potential for international markets and trade that exists in northeastern Pennsylvania." One of the major factors that will help the School of Business and Economics to realize its goals while maintaining its past reputation is, certainly, its faculty. The School employs full-time instructors from across the United States and other countries, whose broad backgrounds give their students an equally broad overview of the national and international business scene. These faculty boast years of experience in education, industry', and business-related fields, and continue to maintain strong ties with the business world. For this reason, they are sought after in the business community as consultants and advisors. The reputation and quality of this faculty is currently being maintained and even upgraded by a newly-established faculty development program, funded by the Pew Memorial Trust. The program encompasses faculty throughout the college, and Engel notes that "a substantial number” are members of the School of Business and Economics. In addition to a dedicated full-time teaching force, the School makes valuable use of “adjuncts," part-time faculty who are currently employed in business fields. Adjuncts, says Engel, are a major asset to the School because they are on the cutting edge of developments in the world of business, and can present a practical, working approach to business situations. The combination of full-time instructors of long-standing reputation and adjuncts who are willing to lend their insight to business education provides a balanced experience for students that fits perfectly into the School's philosophy for producing a well-rounded individual. The classroom experience for business students has always been augmented by opportunities to discover the “real world" of business. The annual Business Symposium, sponsored by the school, and various workshops and clinics offered throughout the year bring business leaders from across the country onto campus to discuss current business issues and trends. And, since these events often feature Business and Economics faculty as principals, they create a symbiotic relationship in which the WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 5 �To the Alumni of Wilkes College and ofBucknell University Junior College Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth Dr. Wagina Taylor instructs a class in Economics. college itself serves as a resource for the business world. An exciting new dimension of the real world experience offered to the Business and Economics student is the inclusion of the Wilkes Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Small Business Institute (SBI), and Anthracite and Community Development Instiutute (ACDI) under the jurisdiction of the School of Business and Economics. According to Engel, students will assume increasingly active roles in the projects of these organizations, which offer assistance to small businesses, firms, and coal operators in the northeastern Pennsylvania region. This arrangement again provides students with 6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY experiential knowledge while they serve as a resource to the community. The success of the educational format outlined by Engel — a liberal arts tradition enhanced by solid business experience and an awareness of the contemporary — is proven by the records of many alumni. Joseph J. Pinola is a 1949 graduate who is receiving more and more attention on the national and international business scene as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate Bancorp (For more on Pinola, see Chronicle, page 22). Dr. Thomas F. Kelly '69, formerly served as Dean of External Affairs at Wilkes and is now Dean of the School of Management at SUNY Binghamton. William V. Leandri holds a B.S. in Economics (1969) and an M.B.A. in Finance (1976) from Wilkes. He serves as Senior Vice President of the Marketing and Data Processing Division of Merchants Bank North, and credits the college with preparing him for the position he now holds. His words are an affirmation of the ideals that continue to operate today in the School of Business and Economics: “The college gave me an accelerated path to management in banking. I always recommend it highly, since my education there helped me to recognize and confront issues in my field and to fully understand management and its nuances. There is excitement in the air at Wilkes. As the Quarterly goes to press, we are expecting the biggest Homecoming of alumni in many years. In addition to celebrating Dean Ralston’s forty years of service to Wilkes and his present missionary work among alumni, we will be commemorating the great unbeaten football team of 1966 and cheering the fine 1986 Colonels. The WILKES TOMORROW $ 18 million Campaign, led by Eugene Roth ’57, has been announced, with $5.2 million already paid or pledged, including $2 million from the Board of Trustees. The four-week Alumni Phonathon, led by Dr. Dan Kopen '70, at the end of three weeks has exceeded its $75,000 goal, which was itself $20,000 above the phonathon results of last year. This puts us, with your help, within striking distance of raising the $ 151,000 in unrestricted gifts from alumni, which will secure a $50,000 challenge match from the Surdna Foundation. Already the proportion of alumni responding favorably to our phone calls and letters is up dramatically. The trustees have authorized the College to bid the construction of a handsome Sports and Conference Center designed by architect Peter Bohlin of the architectural firm of Bohlin, Powell, Larkin, Cywinski to be built on the site of the present gymnasium and the vacant lot to its north. The land originally belonged to the late Dr. Charles H. Miner, Sr., father of our present trustee Charles H. Miner, Jr. The Sports and Conference Center will have two stories above ground at the front, including a conference center, and a complete lower level, including a dedicated wrestling area, physical fitness-weightlifting room designed by Frank Zane ’64, and extensive general recreation space. The large gymnasium will be at the rear of the structure and provide space adequate for an active intramural basketball and volleyball program as well as seating space adequate for Commencement and all-College convocations. The trustees will decide on the time of construction at their December 5 meeting in light of our fund-raising success by that date. The new Dean of Admissions, Bernard Vinovroski ’69, has pulled faculty, alumni and students together in a bold recruitment campaign for next year’s freshman class. Early signs indicate that top students in our Northeast Pennsylvania high schools are seriously considering Wilkes. The financial incentive for alumni children also seems to be stimulating interest around the country. Bernie is armed in his work with the sharpened image of Wilkes as a comprehensive institution with a School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, a School of Business and Economics, and a College of Arts and Sciences. The reorganization, described in this issue of the Quarterly, has increased our capacity to draw the many elements of the W'ilkes family together to make this an even better place for students. Our WILKES TOMORROW Campaign objectives include increasing the endowment to strengthen our faculty and increasing student financial assistance. While the major appeal to the alumni will be made in 1987, we urge you to consider support of the 1986 Annual Fund effort to help us secure the Surdna grant. Because of the major tax reform just enacted, you may also wish to consider making vour capital contribution to the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign before the end of the year. Such early gifts, taking advantage of tax incentives for charitable giving which will disappear after December 31, will also make you a leader of this ambitious effort to build Wilkes into an even finer institution for the next century. WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 7 �will be expected, as well, to continue your annual support to the College. This is the same as was the case in the Alpha Campaign and every other Capital Gifts Campaign we’ve ever had. Unlike so many institutions, we are ready for a capital campaign and perhaps overdue for it, as our last broad-based capital campaign was in the late ’70s. Wilkes College to Conduct Campaign for 18 Million Dollars entrance into the Twenty-first Century. Frankly, the $18 million represents what the Board of Trustees believes is the minimum requirement for a campaign effort through the year 1990. A campaign for S18 million, the largest ever conducted locally, was announced by Wilkes College at a press conference held in the Dane Center for the Performing Ans on the Wilkes College campus. Funds raised through the “Wilkes Tomorrow” Campaign will be used in support of faculty', capital construction, scholarship assistance and current academic programs. Eugene Roth, a prominent local attorney, trustee of Wilkes College, and a Class of 1957 Wilkes graduate, will head the “Wilkes Tomorrow" Campaign as National Chairman. The following is an interview with E. Roth '57: Q. The 18 million dollars is an ambitious goal, especially now, when many private colleges are talking about "retrenching." What led Wilkes to the decision to gofor SI8 million ? A. First of all. the decision was not made without careful evaluation and deliberation. It was made based upon the primary needs of the College, where we have a responsibility to maintain the quality of faculty that we have and to continue to attract quality faculty; and that's going to cost a certain amount of money. In addition to that, there are physical assets that have to be addressed; the construction of the Sports/Conference Center; the maintenance of some of the historic facilities and other buildings on campus; the responsibility of increasing the endowment of the school; and generally the requirements necessary to meet our 8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Q. What message is the name WILKES TOMORROW intended to convey? A. It is a two-fold statement. First, if Wilkes is to meet its destiny, as well as its responsibility to the students of today and tomorrow, if it is to meet its responsibility to the community and the nation, it must begin today to do so. That means to raise the money now, so that we can do what we have to do tomorrow. Secondly, to say as resoundingly as we possibly can that not only has Wilkes had a distinguished past and an exciting present, but it has a dramatic future, which we hope will be all the more enhanced as a result of the campaign. Q. Wilkes does seem to be turning a page in its history, considering recent academic restructuring and administrative reorganization. How does the campaign interact with those changes? A. Wilkes College today is not accurately depicted, in my opinion, at either the national level or at the local level. I think that its prior administrative structure and its prior reference as small liberal arts college failed to address the fact that Wilkes is an institution with multiple disciplines. It is the only College in northeastern Pennsylvania that offers a four-year degree in Engineering and allied fields, the only institution in northeastern Pennsylvania with an aggressive and expanding graduate school; and I believe the restructuring will begin to portray to the community the real Wilkes College. Q. The goal of $2.5 million forfaculty support and scholarship endowment and $5 million for the Sports/Conference Center are self-explanatory, but you have a goal of$10 million for ongoing programs. Would you explain what is meant by ongoing programs ? A. As you know, the College relies on annual giving, bequests, foundation gifts, and certain government grants not related to scholarship assistance in order to accommodate its operating budget. We realize at the present time a substantial amount of money on an annual basis in that respect. Those monies will be ongoing throughout the period of the campaign and we anticipate that that will aggregate $10 million. In short, what we are saying to the world is, that you are going to be called upon not only to give a i Q. In the announcement, Dr. Breiseth stated that there is a nucleus find in place that exceeds $5.1 million. Could you tell us how you raised such a substantial fund so soon? The campaign was just announced on September 15th. A. It’s sort of like giving birth to a child. You measure from the first day of the birth but there are nine months that preceded it, and that’s almost the case here. In fact, our efforts began back in 1985 with intense meetings, discussions, plans, evaluations, etc., at the trustee level culminating in some preliminary decisions in 1985 to explore the viability of a capital gifts campaign. Starting way back then, we invited the very generous support of the trustees. Their support has culminated in gifts of $2 million plus. Again, measuring the annual support during that same period of time and certain select gifts and bequests, we have in that period of time accomplished the $5 million plus figure. Q. Is there really a donor out there who will give Wilkes a million dollars? A. There are many people who have the capacity to give a million dollars and more. It becomes incumbent upon every individual who is now or has ever been affiliated with the College, to develop those potential contributors to a point where they would see the worthiness of the College as a recipient of such a gift. It’s not uncommon to pick up a newspaper every day in the week and read of contributions of many, many millions of dollars to major institutions in this country. All we have to do is connect the cause with the contributor and we think that’s very possible. Q, There’s been comment from some, questioning the need for a gym. How do you respond to that? A. First of all, we are not talking about a gym; it’s not just a gym. It’s a facility that the school desperately needs. When I attended Wilkes College during the period of 1953 to 1957, we had a student enrollment in the aggregate of approximately 600 to 700 people. The gym that we then had, and now still have, accommodated that student enrollment. At the present time, we have the full-time equivalency of 3,000 students with a multitude of inter and intra collegiate activities. This forces certain students to use the facility for training as late as 9, 10 or 11 o’clock at night and all hours during the weekend to accommodate their practices. After all this, the facility is then made available for the student body, and that is just unacceptable from all sorts of standpoints, including the fact that the Middle States evaluation has on at least two occasions commented on the inadequacy of the facility. The reality is that our competition is offering facilities comparable to those we plan to build and if we don’t provide the new complex, we cannot compete; we lose — and we are not losers! Q. Your position is National Chairman of the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign. IWiy "National"? A. It’s intended to connote the fact that Wilkes College, although having as its primary mission the encouragement of local students and industrial growth and activity among other things, that it still is an institution of national consequence, having national influence, having friends and supporters and alumni throughout the country and, indeed the world, and to make it clear that we are going to be that expansive in our reach. We intend raising this money throughout the country as a whole. Q. I understand that the Sports/Conference Center can be namedfor $1.5 million, and that other spaces can be namedfor specified amounts. Is that true? A. We have created, through a very well thought-out process in arriving at the $18 million goal, a potpourri of requirements and needs, which will afford people the unique opportunity to affiliate their name permanently with the College. That support ranges from the brick and mortar type categories in the Sports/Conference Center to the naming of Academic Chairs in the institution (I am delighted to remind those who will be reading this article that we have already established the first Wilkes Chair — the Tom Bigler Chair). We also want to create a whole host of other academic programs carrying the names of people either in memoriam or in honor, and I would prefer the latter than the former because I believe it is far more enjoyable to see where your money goes when you can still see it. Q. Obviously raising $18 million requires time. What timeframe have you setfor the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign ? A. The Campaign is an effort as I indicated earlier that commenced in 1985 and will continue through 1990. That period of years is pertinent for several reasons: 1. It identifies the parameters of the payment of the gift, 2. It identifies the parameters of the time period within which we intend to raise the dollars. For a lot of reasons our ability to raise the required dollars closer to 1985 than 1990 becomes important. Obviously, we want to give the contributor the longest period of time within which to pay his or her commitment, but we would like to get the use of the money — the sooner the better. SUMMARY: In the life of every person and the life of every institution there are windows of opportunities and there are steps where we either go forward or we go backward. I think that for Wilkes College this is a time of unique opportunity to not only realize what I perceive as the College's mission but to take the institution to heights that were not even dreamed of a decade or two ago. I think that the College has an enormous opportunity to be particularly helpful to the community and to continue to produce quality citizens for our country. But to do that, it is just absolutely necessary that we raise these dollars. Our supporters have to understand that in order for an institution like Wilkes College, which is so heavily tuition-dependent, to continue the creative and innovative things that we would like to do. we just have to have an outside source of dollars. That means we need the ability to enhance the endowment, the ability to get direct allocations for specific academic programs, and the ability to meet the current and immediate physical facilities needs on the campus required by a more and more selective student who has more and more alternatives for his education. w, WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 9 �“As a student who was unsure of what career direction to take, I learned more valuable lesson — that this field is right for me, and that I am rightfor it.” C.B. ’87 J EXPERIENCE PREFERRED — Wilkes Interns Over the past several years, enrolling in internship programs has become the rule, rather than the exception, for Wilkes College students. As the job market becomes increasingly competitive, the experience gained by serving an internship can often make the difference to a student seeking to land that first job. This was the message delivered by five Wilkes interns recently, as they recounted their experiences before members of the Board of Trustees. Chris Bolcarovic is a senior Communications major from Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, who served a summer internship in the Promotions Department of WBRE-TV, the NBC affiliate station based in Wilkes-Barre. Her duties included preparing press releases, monitoring newspaper coverage, writing copy for use on the air, responding to viewer mail, doing library research, and covering on-location shots. Chris was also appointed station manager of Wilkes' own WCLH radio station only weeks before her internship began, and commuted from Tunkhannock to work at both stations throughout the summer. Obviously, one of the skills Chris learned during her internship was 10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY effective time management, but she recalls a more weighty lesson. “As an intern, I gained a lot of things, like real world experience, meeting important figures in the media, and making myself more marketable as an employee in the future,” she says. “But as a student who was unsure of what career direction to take, I learned a more valuable lesson — that this field is right for me, and that I am right for it. I can finally feel secure in the fact that I made a sound choice in entering Communications.” Another student who made the right career choice is Thomas Morpeth, a 1986 graduate from Cranbury, New Jersey. Currently employed as an accountant with the firm of Laventhol and Horwath in Wilkes-Barre, only months ago Thomas was an intern with the same firm. Thomas recalls the actual preparation for his internship under the Accounting Internship Program. “Before I even got the internship, I had a ‘mock interview,’ where I was asked actual interview questions and put on videotape. After the interview, the tape was played back so that I could see my mistakes and strong points. The experience really helped when it was time for me to interview for the ‘real’ job market, since I had a total of seven interviews before joining Laventhol and Horwath.” And, since Thomas served as a staff accountant in the firm, he says, “The internship didn’t just help me prepare for the job, it was the job.” Tom Walton, a senior Computer Science major from Jackson, New Jersey, didn’t even need an interview to get a job — in fact, he has two offers waiting for him when he graduates in May. As a member of the Air Force ROTC, active duty takes precedence over other offers, but nonetheless, he was asked to sign with a firm that contracts with his internship employer, Pennsylvania Power and Light. Tom began his internship in May, and will remain at PP&L through December. There, he writes computer programs that operate the Nuclear Power Plant Simultator, a complex device that mimics the activities of the real nuclear power plant in Berwick, Pennsylvania. In his internship, Tom is gaining knowledge that he might otherwise not have during his four years in college. “The computer science program here is excellent, and definitely prepared me to handle the computer-related aspects of this position,” he says. “But I’m learning more in my internship than I could possibly fit into eight semesters — about Physics, about Engineering, about a broad scope of topics that I knew so little of before.” Learning about new topics was also a part of Kristyn Porter’s summer Wilkes interns, speaking before members ofthe Board of Trustees, related the value oftheir individual internship experiences.

Bolcarovic, Pamela Jones, Thomas Morpeth, and Tom Walton. internship at the Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. Kristyn, a native of Canton, Pennsylvania, was one of forty students chosen from across the country to participate in the Michael Reese Research Training Fellowship Program; but she is not a nursing or pre-medical student — she is a senior Electrical Engineering major, and was the computer expert in charge of organization and analysis of information at the facility’s Stroke Data Bank. The Stroke Data Bank is a collection of data on risk, demographic, medical, and stroke-specific factors on stroke victims from four centers across the country. As an intern, Kristyn organized incoming information on the basis of race and gender and applied statistical analysis techniques to find the difference between expected and observed frequencies or values of these factors. She also worked on an artificial intelligence program at the University of Illinois that correlated stroke information to predict stroke subtypes. Kristyn notes, “The internship gave me new direction, since I was offered a position for graduate work in Epidemiology or Biostatistics and am considering pursuing that. In addition, I learned how the hospital system really functions in research, and gained professional experience in statistical methods and case-control methodology.” Pamela Jones, a senior English major from Kingston, Pennsylvania, landed two jobs at the end of the last academic year: the 1986-87 editor-in-chief position on the Beacon, the Wilkes College newspaper; and a summer internship with Fashion Flash magazine in Washington, D.C. While Pam’s internship undoubtedly prepared her for the editorial job that awaited her back at Wilkes, it prepared her even more for her planned career in publications, preferably national magazine publication. At Fashion Flash Pam’s regular duties included writing, editing, and interviewing; but she also initiated a special syndication project for the magazine. For this project, Pam composed a sales letter and publicity request that targeted movie companies, fashion designers, and television studios throughout the United States. During her internship at the magazine, Pam also authored an editorial guide for use by the Fashion Flash company. Pam says of her summer, “It gave me better direction in my career plans — in an internship you can learn what you don't want to do, as well as what you want to do. I feel as though I’ve benefitted from a real learning experience, and am even putting my knowledge to work before I enter the job market, in my position at the Beacon." The internships served by these five students are certainly worthy of recognition, but it is important to note that they are hardly the only “success stories” among last year’s — or any year’s — student interns. The internship programs on the Wilkes campus are continuously growing and improving, proving to today’s employers the value of a Wilkes-educated student, and proving to today’s Wilkes student the value of experience in quality education. WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 11 �“By going to a School structure we have developed, by accessing the faculty of three departments, a vast pool of experience and scientific know-how.” p < Dr. Umid R. Nejib. Dean ofthe School of Engineering and Physical Sciences. School of Engineering and Physical Sciences by Jane Manganella Wilkes has never adequately told the story of its Engineering Department; never adequately described the excellent education engineering majors receive here. There hasn't been adequate public focus on the caliber of its alumni, many of whom hold leadership positions in industry, government, medical research, and education. And. there has been too little focus on the superb facilities and faculty and state-of-the-art equipment and programs. Wilkes College will alter that in the near future because now there is a new story to tell. The Department of Engineering has combined with two allied and equally strong departments. Earth and Environmental Sciences and Physics, to form the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Wilkes proudly heralds the new School, and will work to introduce it to all its publics. 12 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY The new structure was announced on June 1, and according to the Dean of the School, Dr. Umid Nejib, it was initiated to meet current and future needs of students moving into an era where the changes in technology move at a speed that is mindboggling. Nejib said, “The scientists who will move competently into that environment will be those who have been given a solid, basic education both in their special field of study and in the allied fields of science connected with whatever a project may entail; and, they will have been team-oriented.” He continued, "By going to a School structure wc have developed, by accessing the faculty of three departments, a vast pool of experience and scientific know-how — solidly connected, yet independent disciplines interacting for research and problem solving. Students benefit immeasurably from this structure and interaction. There have been such new and explosive developments in society and technology that the day of a single scientist working alone in a lab to solve a single problem is long past.” The vast pool to which Dr. Nejib refers consists of a faculty all of whom hold the Ph.D., and with areas of interest and expertise that cover every aspect of undergraduate education in the three disciplines. These areas range from quantum mechanics to robotics, to tribology, to geology. In addition to this, there is a new dimension to the School — the development of a liberal arts component for engineering students. Faculty from history and English and political science are team-teaching courses that will enrich the scientific areas, giving students a full perspective of their field of study; and, insuring that these future scientists will be prepared not only to know their special fields but to articulate them both verbally and graphically. This innovative program of interdisciplinary teaching at Wilkes College is having an impact in the academic community and, as a result of this, Dr. Thomas Kaska, professor of Language and Literature, and Dr. Nejib were invited recently to discuss the program at the National Center for Research to Improve Post Secondary Teaching and Learning, located at the University of Michigan. The word “unique” is one that must be measured carefully before it can be accurately or safely used. The dictionary lists it as “peerless — one of a kind." The Engineering Department can use the word comfortably to describe not only the equipment and labs but the fact that nowhere in the country do undergraduate students have access to the ultrasophisticated equipment that Wilkes students are given throughout their four years at the school. There is not another undergraduate school in the nation giving its students access to this kind of hands-on experience on a daily basis as part of their required curriculum. This part of the program has also been recognized by the academic and industrial communities. Wilkes has been lauded in its approach by industry, by other universities and colleges, by professional accrediting agencies, and by professional societies. If anything can be the shining star on so bright a list of accomplishments, it would have to be the practical experience given students. This is accomplished by either placing students in major companies to do research and design, or by bringing research and design projects into the labs at Stark Learning Center. This procedure is used in all three departments and especially in Earth and Environmental “The day of a single scientist working alone in a lab to solve a single problem is long past.” Sciences. Students serve under faculty guidance as highly trained professionals in the microbiological water-testing facility, the air-quality lab (including meteorology and air-quality monitoring equipment), the rock lab (sedimentology, mineralogy and soils testing), and in partnership with Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Council (NEPEC) to study the implications of radon gas. In the scientific outreach that the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences stresses, there has been a strong affiliation between the School and the Ben Franklin Partnership to aid research and development, education and technology training. Funding of joint college industry projects has underscored Wilkes high level of engineering expertise, and has included relationships with not only local firms but with world leaders in industry. Other outreach programs include the Technology Transfer Program; this is Wilkes alone and is used to assist local industry to gain inroads to a vast technology resource through the engineering department. This allows industry to tap the manpower, facilities, and resources available from the department. There are two conference series which lend themselves to outreach. One is the Advanced Technology Seminar Series, the only technical regional forum where local industry can meet, discuss, and present their capabilities and share information with each other and the educational community. The other, the College and Industry Technology Conference, allows the industrial community access to the college’s scientific and technical abilities. These series are designed to serve the industrial community by Wilkes School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, now recognized as the Center for Advanced Engineering and Technology in Northeastern Pennsylvania. There is also a wide selection for degree programs. For example, students entering engineering at Wilkes may select a four-year program leading to a B.S. degree. These students receive a broad and strong foundation in basic areas of engineering science, and mathematics. Specialization and concentrations in one or more areas of engineering are achieved by selecting a sequence of courses and special electives under the direction and supervision of a faculty advisor. The four-year major degree programs in Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Materials Engineering are noted for their strength and diversity' of emphasis. In the Engineering Management program, students must also develop expertise in the areas of electrical, environmental, or materials engineering. Five-year B.S. degree programs emphasize a broader education in the arts and sciences while fulfilling the requirements for a degree in engineering. Those students with experience in both engineering and computer sciences, physics, chemistry, mathematics, or sociology, as well as other fields, are qualified for a variety of careers. The Department also maintains two-year academic programs designed for students wishing to transfer to accredited engineering institutions to complete their junior and senior years. These programs include aerospace, civil, chemical, and mechanical engineering. ® WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 13 �Dr. Brian Redmond (far right), Associate Dean ofthe School ofEngineering and Physical Sciences, talks to representatives ofthe Department ofEnvironmental Resources and Northeast Pennsylvania Environmental Council. Graduate study in engineering is also available, leading to an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering. The graduate program is research-oriented with a “Wilkes has been lauded in its approach by industry, by other universities and colleges, by professional accrediting agencies, and by professional societies.” 14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY strong experimental foundation. An evening program is available in all degrees for those students who are interested in completing their engineering studies while holding a daytime job. Technological advancements and changing emphasis in the engineering fields may occasionally require curriculum modification. The dynamic structure of the Wilkes curriculum lends itself to the incorporation of new developments in the field without the necessity of major curriculum alterations. (From Engineering Brochure, 1986) The track record established by Wilkes College Engineering is illustrated by the number of alumni employed by world-class corporations both here and abroad. A recent survey made obvious just how effective the School’s preparation is. Wilkes College regularly supplies personnel for leadership positions in such corporations as Rockwell International, Owens Illinois, Texas Instruments, I.B.M., Motorola, Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and Westinghouse, among others. President Breiseth recently praised the School of Engineering in its concentrated effort for such scientific outreach. Breiseth said, "The School’s goals closely follow the newly-developed Mission Statement at Wilkes, which states: ’the strength of a Wilkes education is its balance of the theoretical and practical, of liberal learning and professional preparation. Students have the opportunity of applying knowledge to real problems by working in well-equipped laboratories, serving internships, and participating in cooperative education. Beyond balancing theory and practice, a Wilkes education seeks to increase students’ capacity to serve others with intelligence, imagination, and integrity.’ ” There is a new story to tell; and with the ideas being generated, the growth and the enthusiasm, this is obviously only the first chapter. 0 — ��“Faculty are united by a generalfeeling of collegiality as people from 15 different departments meet on common ground.” College of Arts and Sciences By Jane Manganella and Melissa Meyers In spite of an academic restructuring of the College, which happened on June 1, 1986, Wilkes has stayed committed to its core curriculum in the liberal arts. Dr. James P. Rodechko. Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and President Christopher N. Breiseth emphasize on a consistent basis the fact that the historic restructuring and Wilkes’ move to stay abreast of advancement in technology and science, in no way erodes the liberal arts tradition developed over a fifty-year period. According to Rodechko, “This commitment to the liberal arts curriculum and tradition will have its focus in the College of Arts and Sciences.” The 15 departments within the College represent the ideal structure for the liberal arts curriculum encompassing the humanities, the social sciences, the natural sciences, and mathematics. Rodechko stated that the philosophy is succinctly summed up in the College Bulletin. It reads, “All students at Wilkes College will complete some course work in these disciplines since study in the arts and sciences provides many of the basic learning skills, which enable one to write and speak effectively, to think critically, and to understand one’s place in a complex and changing society.” Although the concept of a College of Arts and Sciences is new to Wilkes, it is 13 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Dr. James P. Rodechko, Dean ofthe College ofArts and Sciences. commonplace to the world of education and is used throughout the United States. Rodechko said, ‘‘The reasons are clearly defined and beneficial to both students and faculty. Faculty are united by a general feeling of collegiality as people from 15 different departments meet on common ground.” The feelings of isolation that kept faculty from the interaction this structure provides have been eliminated. There are mutual concerns and mutual needs. This tends to unite rather than separate faculty. The communication enhances their ability to anticipate the needs of students across the board. For example, a biology or nursing student no longer does the narrow research and report that is written and given to a single professor for a grade. The report is now researched, written, and presented orally to several professors or a team of peers. "Cooperation among faculty to assure student development is the fundamental goal for all of us,” Rodechko said. Rodechko considers as one of his major tasks the promotion of a positive self-image within the faculty. “This is,” he said, “a very easy task. When I went from teaching to the deanship, I needed to become familiar with the credentials of faculty in the College. It was a rewarding discovery. I knew there was excellence but had no idea it existed to the degree I found in those resumes. The faculty is balanced in scholarship, in teaching skills, in field experience, and in performance. However,” he continued, "the emphasis is always on teaching and we excel at that.” Students obviously become beneficiaries of this new approach at Wilkes College. Through more integrated programming and interdisciplinary courses, both internally in the College of Arts and Sciences and externally between the College and the schools, students have the opportunity to explore. It can be the "make your own sundae” approach to career goals. For example, a history major may now be asked to do research on the history of chemistry rather than on the Civil War. In that research, it would be possible for the student to find that he or she has a high level of interest in chemistry'. The opportunity is now there to allow that student to pursue chemistry within the context of the discipline of history. “The goal is to promote discovery of self in students and then to nurture the interest that exploration produced,” Rodechko states. This is not a philosophical approach for enrichment only but has its basis in the very real context of preparing these students for a demanding job market. They will be eminently prepared to compete in a world that is a mix of science and liberal arts. The College of Arts and Sciences, with its diverse and broad-based mix of disciplines, is able to produce and has produced students who can succeed in this world. Wilkes Health Sciences has a record of 100/c acceptance of its students to WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 19 �“The goal is to promote discovery of self in students and then to nurture the interest that exploration produced.” medical schools and pre-professional programs throughout the United States. The medical profession has within its ranks hundreds of M.D.’s who received their early training at Wilkes, and have assumed leadership roles throughout the nation’s prestigious universities, hospitals, and health care facilities. In the legal profession, Wilkes claims alumni who are outstanding deans, judges, lawyers, and political figures, and have contributed immeasurably to public service. The College’s mathematics and computer science graduates are also leaders in top-caliber corporations and businesses, both as technologists and managers. The College can also boast playing a major role in cultural enrichment both locally and nationally, as alumni include noted musicians, artists, actors and actresses, and opera stars. An intrinsic part of these and all graduates’ success lies in the ability they are given to not only think clearly, but to express thought effectively through the spoken and written word. Developing this ability in its students is the paramount concern of the Language and Literature Department. Rodechko emphasizes that the College is extremely sensitive to the needs of students of the future. This is apparent in its approach to course design and implementation. For example, health care is recognized as the leading employer in the nation. Wilkes Office of Health Sciences, in addition to maintaining its enviable acceptance record to medical schools, also has affiliated programs in Dentistry, Optometry, Pharmacy, Podiatry, and Allied Health Professions. In that same area, the Wilkes College Nursing Department has been a major supplier and, indeed, a pioneer in providing Northeastern Pennsylvania with qualified Baccalaureate degree nurses. Wilkes has also pioneered the teaching of teachers in specific areas, and last year alone (1985-86), through its many programs, brought over 1,500 teachers to campus for upgrading teaching skills in such progressive areas as computer education. This is only a portion of the information needed to cover the fifteen viable departments that comprise the College of Ans and Sciences. At Wilkes College the new approach is to produce the well-rounded student, conversant in science and humanities, in business and performing arts. Rodechko says emphatically, “The possibilities are essentially limitless. The rewards are guaranteed fora lifetime." Professor Emeritus Charles B. Reif It was September 17, 1942, when Dr. Charles B. Reif arrived in Wilkes-Barre to begin his new position on the biology faculty at Wilkes (then Bucknell Junior College). Tired from his trip from Minnesota, the young professor was anxious to find “campus” and settle-in. He began asking directions, “I asked a policeman, who asked two or three other officers; and after a lengthy discussion, they agreed that I should look on South River Street.” Suitcases in hand, Reif started his journey — a journey that would wind its way through 41 years of devoted service and distinguished teaching at Wilkes College. He reminisces about those early years and the beginning of his career at Wilkes, , I d completed my doctorate in June of 41 and was hired as the Curator of Education for the Minnesota Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota. For the academic year 1941-42, I'd earned the grand sum of i 00 and decided that I had better start ooking for another position; so I listed my name with the Fisk Teacher's Agency 20 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY "On September 10,1 returned from fishing (for my supper) and was told that Dr. Eugene Farley from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was trying to reach me. When I returned Dr. Farley’s call, he asked if I would be interested in teaching biology at Bucknell, and said the salary was $2,500. Obviously I was interested and said yes to his offer. He then described the job. I was to teach the course in general zoology to sophomore biology majors; the survey course in general biology to non-majors; the survey course in physical sciences to non-majors; and a course in hygiene to everyone. ‘Do you think you can handle that?’ Farley asked. I told him ‘yes, certainly,’ hung up the phone and nearly fainted." One week later Dr. Reif was in Wilkes-Barre and caught up in the activities of the fledgling college and the teaching career that would become his vocation and avocation. He would, during the next41 years, become the only person to carry the college mace for all ceremonies on campus... He would be the standard-bearer and role-model for thousands of students. Alumni give consistent testimony for the strong, positive influence Dr. Reif has had on their lives. They say in part. . . “He gave everything, he did his best and he'd accept nothing less than our best.” “He taught me more than biology, Dr. Reif taught me how to work." “Dr. Reif demanded more than I thought I could give; then, when I succeeded, he delighted in that achievement as much as I.” One prominent physician says, “When I was a student, I considered him an unreasonable perfectionist. Then, when I began the practice of medicine, I realized 1 approached every problem with a question . . . how would Reif handle this? He had become my role-model.” When Dr. Reif announced his retirement, former students endowed a scholarship in his name. The plaque presented to him appropriately read, “Your excellent teaching has shaped the lives of students who have become eminent physicians, dentists, scholars, and teachers." Their joint contributions have greatly affected the quality of life in our society. WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 21 �QHOllCtf TRUSTEES: Update Joseph J. Pinola In the past nine months, Joseph J. Pinola. class of 1949 and a member of the Board of Trustees since 1979, has had major coverage in the New York Times (June 8, 1986). Newsweek (August 4, 1986). The Los Angeles Times (April 26, 1986), and U.S. New's & World Report (October 14, 1985): an impressive tribute to one of the Titans in American Banking. Pinola is the CEO and Chairman of the Board of First Interstate Bancorp. Inc. and obviously F.I.B., Inc., the ninth largest holding company in the nation (assets $49.7 billion), is national and international news. But, the news focus is on Pinola as the guiding force behind what interstate banking might look like in the future. As overseer of the ever-expanding company, Pinola has made historic and sometimes controversial decisions that have put F.I.B. into an enviable position of growth. He is credited with single-handedly building First Interstate into an empire of 23 banks with more 22 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY than 950 branches in 12 western states. R. I. Mandle, an analyst for Payne-Webber, says it succinctly. "Pinola wisely took a company that was a set of independent fiefdoms and merged it into one independent whole.” William F. Raub, Ph.D. William F. Raub. Ph.D., Wilkes College Class of 1961, has reached another milestone in a distinguished career. On September 3, Dr. Raub was named Deputy Director of the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. The N.I.H. is the nation's major health research agency. The announcement of Raub's appointment came from Dr. James B. Wyngaarden, Director ofN.I.H., who characterized Raub as “particularly well-qualified to meet the challenges and opportunities ofN.I.H.’s second highest-ranked position.” Raub was honored by Wilkes in 1983 as the recipient of the Eugene S. Farley Memorial Alumni Award. In 1982, he received the H.H.S. Distinguished Service Award; the S.E.S. Meritorious Executive Rank Award, and the S.E.S. Outstanding Performance Award in 1983 and 1985; the Toastmasters International Communications Achievement Award from the N.I.H. Toastmasters Club. From 1966 to 1978, Dr. Raub led the effort to develop PROPHET, a computer system for pharmacologists and others who study chemical/biological interactions. PROPHET is the most comprehensive set of information handling tools for this area of science ever presented in a unified system and offered as a national resource to the biomedical research community. During his tenure at N.I.H., Dr. Raub held several leadership positions including Health Scientist Administrator in the Special Research Resources Branch; Chief, Biotechnology Resources Branch; Associate Director for Extramural and Collaborative Programs, National Eye Institutes; and until his appointment as Deputy Director, he was Associate Director for Extramural Research and Training. Wilkes President Breiseth said, “We, as an institution, benefit immeasurably by the caliber of our Board of Trustees. These are only two of the 36 trustees whose membership is made up of experts in various fields. We are proud to introduce them to our alumni and will continue to do so on a steady basis.” GIFTS AND GRANTS A National Science Foundation Grant was awarded to Dr. Levere C. Hostler, professor of Physics, to continue his research in “Scalar Formalism for Quantum Electrodynamics with Application to Bound State Problems.” The grant is the second such award given to Hostler on the basis of his research. In accordance with the terms of the grant, he conducted his studies during the summer semester at Cornell University. The Pennsylvania Department of Commerce awarded $125,000 to the Wilkes College Anthracite and Community Development Institute to lead a coal industry development program among four colleges and universities. The grant will be used to expand existing programs that provide small coal operators in the anthracite region with expertise and information free of charge. Program activities will be coordinated among the Small Business Development Centers (SBDC’s) at Wilkes College, Lehigh University, Bucknell University, and the University of Scranton. Projects in coal testing, government procurement, foreign markets, and the development of an operator’s directory will be conducted, utilizing SBDC staff and students and faculty from all four institutions. A bequest in the amount of $175,488, with an additional distribution of several thousand dollars to follow over the next several weeks, has been received from the Harriet Ripley Estate. Mrs. Ripley was the wife of Julian Ripley, who served on the Wilkes Physics faculty from 1960 through 1966. Also donated to the college at the time of the bequest was a portrait of Harriet Ripley. The estate funds and portrait were presented to college officials by Janet P. Cabrera, Mrs. Ripley’s sister. Gifts totalling $81,600, received under the auspices of the Commonwealth’s Ben Franklin Partnership, will strengthen Wilkes College’s engineering and science center. The grants include $20,400 supplied by the Ben Franklin Partnership program and $61,200 in matching donations from regional businesses, industry, and alumni. The funds will be used to purchase electronic equipment for the $chool of Engineering and Physical Sciences. According to Dr. Umid R. Nejib, Dean of the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, a major portion of the $81,600 total is targeted for developing a state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design (CAD) facility. The facility, to be operational this year, will be capable of standing alone or linking with the college’s computer system, and will greatly enhance research activities in computer-aided engineering. A portion of the money will also be used to purchase electron microscopy equipment for the school’s diagnostics laboratory, and to expand electronics facilities. In August the Ben Franklin Partnership funded five additional projects at Wilkes. The first was $37,000 in support of the college’s Small Business Development Center. Other projects funded were in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, these include: $37,225 with the American Electronics Labs in Lansdale, Pennsylvania for the development of thick film” microelectronics technology; $46,000 for a mechanical stress model with RCA in Mountaintop, ennsylvania; $26,500 for system automation development for Midway Tool, Inc. in Jenkins Township, Pennsylvania; $21,000 for a materials requirements planning system for errnan Schwabe, Inc. in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. These grants from the Ben Franklin artnership, combined with matching unds from regional firms, bring gifts totalling $797,781. Lecture Series Examines History of the Wyoming Valley ' r 7 ’ I Dr. Owen Faut, right, originated the History ofthe looming Valley Lecture Series at the college. He is pictured with Dr. William Stine, who will coordinate the lecture series during Faut’s leave ofabsence from Wilkes. This fall, Wilkes College initiated a new lecture series for the college and community on “The History of the Wyoming Valley.” The series, consisting of eight lectures, began in September, 1986, and will continue through April, 1987. All lectures in the series are presented in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, and are offered to the public, free of charge. The “History of the Wyoming Valley Lecture Series” was developed by Dr. Owen Faut, professor of Chemistry at Wilkes. Faut explains his reasons for coordinating the eight-lecture series, “I thought it would be an excellent idea to develop a series on the area that would inform the entire community of its own heritage. Several months ago, I began a search of the Wilkes College community in order to determine what sort of resources it had to offer, and was pleased to find that we had a wealth of expertise to draw upon from our faculty, administration and alumni. All presenters in the series are Wilkes faculty or alumni and are active in the areas on which they will speak, making the college the sole resource for the series. Dr. Faut, who is currently on leave of absence to pursue a research fellowship at the Lewis Research Center, has appointed Dr. William Stine, professor of Chemistry, acting coordinator of the series. Two lectures in the series have already been presented to large audiences in the Dane Center. The complete schedule for the series is as follows: September 13 — President Christopher N. Breiseth, An Overview ofthe History of the Wyoming Valley October 4 — Dr. Charles Reif, The Geological History ofthe Wyoming Valley November 29 — Dr. Harold Cox, An Historical Perspective on the Transportation Systems ofthe Wyoming Valley February 28 — Dr. Charlotte Lord, The Arts and Culture ofthe Wyoming Valley March 7 — Dr. James J. Bohning, The Technological History ofthe Wyoming Valley March 21 — Dr. Eugene Hammer, The Historical Perspective on Educational Facilities of the Wyoming Valley April 11 — Dr. Edward Davies. The Business and Economic History of the Wyoming Valley April 26 — Dr. Edward Hartmann. The Ethnic History ofthe Wyoming Valley WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 23 �GRADUATE DIVISION Three Named as Vice Presidents at Wilkes College Richard F. Charles. Gerald E. Hartdagen. Ph.D.. and Paul A. O’Hop have been appointed Vice Presidents at Wilkes College. The announcement was made recently by Wilkes President Christopher N. Breiseth. who said. “The new appointments are a part of the move to consolidate the administrative structure. Each segment of the college now reports to one of the Vice Presidents, who in turn repons to the President. "This consolidation with its realignment of responsibilities enhances communications in both directions and sharpens the decision making process." Charles has been named Vice President for College Advancement; Hartdagen. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty; and O'Hop. Vice President for Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterprises. Charles is responsible for fund raising, including the recently announced "Wilkes Tomorrow" Capital Campaign. Alumni Relations. Public and Governmental Relations, and Cultural Affairs. He was formerly Dean of Development at Wilkes. Hartdagen is responsible for the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Economics, and the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Hartdagen is also responsible for all academic and student-related activities, and is in charge of departments dealing with Student Affairs and Services. Admissions. Continuing Education and Graduate Studies. Hartdagen’s previous title was Dean of Academic Affairs at Wilkes. O’Hop in his new capacity, is responsible for the Business Office. Computer Center, Finance Office, and Office of Human Resources Management. O’Hop served as a member of the Commerce and Finance Faculty at Wilkes before his appointment to the vice presidency. Dr. Breiseth said that the new administrative structure is an outgrowth of the overall reorganization and evolution of Wilkes College as a comprehensive institution. "Wilkes has reorganized academically into a School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, a college of Arts and Sciences, and a School of Business and Economics. We find that this new administrative structure will be most supportive of this historic development.” 24 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY Richard F. Charles Gerald E. Hartdagen, Ph.D. Paul A. O'Hop The Wilkes College Master of Health Services Administration (MHA) program has received a positive evaluation report from Dr. Ashim K. Basu. Director of Health Services Administration at Sangamon State University. The MHA program is subjected to an annual voluntary evaluation to ensure the quality of the program on a year-to-year basis. During the evaluation period, Basu spent four days on the campus, reviewing the curriculum, faculty, and students of the MHA program. He also interviewed MHA graduates in order to evaluate their progress in the health care field. At the conclusion of this period, Basu stated, “I am very optimistic about the progress of the MHA at Wilkes. 1 have found the commitment to quality within the program to be tremendous, on the pan of students, faculty, and administrators. This is the third year I have examined the program, and I am pleased that the upgrading process is continuing regularly.” According to Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy, Dean of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, periodic evaluation is a necessary step in guaranteeing the quality of the MHA program. “Since health care is changing rapidly and dramatically, it can be difficult to predict problems before they arise,” he said. “Our aim is to train students as thinkers and problem solvers, so that they are prepared to tackle new conflicts as they arise. To accomplish this, we are expanding the liberal arts components and research opportunities for students, and will continue to upgrade our program." In an effort to help train community residents in professional skills, the Division of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, in agreement with the Luzerne County Human Resource Center’s Development Department, is offering a course on “Electronic Bookkeeping and Accounting” to economically disadvantaged individuals. Wilkes was selected as a participating institution for the project from among many applicants, and will draw upon college faculty and community experts for instructors. Twenty individuals have been selected as students from a field of sixty-five, and will attend classes through December. Instructing the course are Cynthia Chisarick, Assistant Professor of Accounting; Fred Croop, Assistant Professor of Accounting; James DeCosmo, Associate Professor of Math and Computer Science; and Dale Smith, Computer Systems Analyst and President of Smith and Co. Computer Services. SCHOLARSHIPS: Trustees, Presidential Scholarships Awarded to Incoming Freshmen Seventeen students entering Wilkes this fall were honored as recipients of Trustees Scholarships and Presidential Scholarships. The students received the awards on the basis of outstanding academic achievement in high school, excellence in the scholastic aptitude test (SAT), and promise for continued success.

Bill Unsworth continues to rebuild the Colonel football team. He returned 35 letterwinners from last season’s 4-6 squad including captains Kevin Salus. Mark Rhodes and Phil Cyriax. Offensively, the Colonels are led by senior quarterback Brad Scarborough, who has already made his mark on the record books by setting and resetting single game records and, by the time he finishes, will probably hold many career records for passing. His favorite targets are All-American Anthony DiGrazia and wide receiver Ron Ulitchney. Freshmen Dean Ambosie and Bill George and sophomore Jim Farrell should see a lot of playing time in the backfield with last year’s top three rushers out for the season with injuries. Defensively, All-American Bernie Kusakavitch returns for his senior year along with last year's leading tackler Steve McKaig and leading interceptor Dave Roebuck. The soccer team, under fifth year coach Phil Wingert is led by captains Roy DeLay, Don Shaw, and Frank Wanzor. The team is off to a fine start thanks to the scoring of senior Mike Molloy and sophomore Mike Armao and the defense play of goalie Don Shaw and backs. Roy DeLay, Frank Wanzor and Andy Renner. The field hockey team is once again under the direction of Gay Meyers, who took a leave of absence for the 1985 season. Captains, Sharon Domzalski and Yvonne Pierman lead the squad along with seniors Sally Vojtek and Stacey Baldwin. Margo Serafini tends to the goalie duties. The volleyball team under the direction of Doris Saracino is fielding a young squad, six sophomores and four freshmen. Serving as captains for this year are juniors Theresa Ayres and Carolyn Ciccarino. Senior Mike Keohane is the top returner on the cross country team.

George Benjamin Luks, known to the art world as a member of "The Eight,” is the only artist in this revolutionary, early twentieth-century group never to be featured in his own showing. During the upcoming year, the Sordoni An Gallery will remedy this oversight with a major retrospective on Luks, which will open at Wilkes in May of 1987 and tour throughout the Eastern United States afterward. The exhibit is undoubtedly the gallery's most ambitious undertaking to date, and the acquisition of two major works by members of “The Eight,” accomplished in preparation for the exhibit, is one of the gallery’s major achievements in recent years. The two new paintings which now hang in the gallery’s permanent collection are "Society Lady,” a portrait in oils by Luks, and “Path through the Willows,” a landscape in oils by John Sloan. Both paintings came to the gallery as a result of director Judith O’Toole’s search for a Luks work to include in the May retrospective. “The gallery commission has made a custom of purchasing at least one work from each major showing,” she explains, “and we learned of an available Luks which might be appropriate.” However, disappointed with a photograph of the painting, O’Toole had nearly decided not to pursue its purchase when she was contacted by Helen Farr Sloan, gallery commission member and wife of the late John Sloan. Mrs. Sloan, who had seen the Luks herself, persuaded O’Toole to travel to New York to view the painting. There, both agreed that the painting would be a valuable addition to the gallery — if they succeeded at the next day’s auction. While Mrs. Sloan and O’Toole discussed their prospects for obtaining the Luks, a severe snowstorm blanketed the eastern portion of the country. At the auction, O’Toole recalls, "hardly a soul showed up. The bidding for 'Society Lady’ opened at an unbelievable figure, and we finally purchased it for approximately half its estimated value." As if the victory were not enough for one day, Mrs. Sloan then offered to donate one of her late husband's works of the same period to the gallery collection. Thus, “Path through the Willows” became the latest Sordoni Gallery acquisition. MARVIN Z.

Gasbarro, age 65, a member of the music faculty for 28 years, died Sunday, August 17, of an apparent heart attack. Gasbarro received his baccalaureate degree from Juilliard School of Music; his master's degree and teacher’s diploma from Columbia University. He came to Wilkes in 1958, later becoming chairman of the Music Department, a post he held until 1979. He is mourned not only by his wife and three sons, but by his students whom he considered an extended family and with whom he stayed in touch. Gasbarro’s eulogy included the following poem written and presented by Alfred S. Groh. For Bill Casbarro Life is an instrument of the Lord Struggling to be perfect all its days, Rehearsed in the quiet ofthe soul the music is exquisite when it plays. For many life is a burden to bear, For the artist life is a gift to share. In the hands ofmany it's the struggle nr hear, In the hands ofthe maestro it's the music clear. Yer, for both, life's agony is no less real, For both, pain and beauty have the power to heal. For both the pain and beauty ha ve power to heal. Life is the instrument ofthe Lord Struggling to be perfect in all its ways. Rehearsed in the quiet ofthe soul The music is exquisite as it plays. Allred S. Groh August 21.
