M. Schiffer to Play At College Gym Wilkes College's annual "Come and Meet Us" party runs Friday night at the College gym. The Student Council-sponsored event starts at eight, runs till midnight. The yearly affair acts as part of the College's program of accustoming freshmen with campus life. It is usually the year's first social event, and provides an opportunity for the frosh to meet each other, the Student Council, upperclassmen, and everybody on campus in general. In line with this, the Council has co-operated with Dave Vann, president of the sophomore class, in arranging for the freshmen to meet their "Big Brothers" at the dance officially for the first time. The "Big Brother" business is part of the sophomore plan to help the incoming frosh this Fall, in addition to the usual Tribunal hazing. This Fall's party will feature music by Paul Schiffer and his orchestra. While Schiffer and his crew take care of the background for dancing, Bob Moran will again be in charge of the -entertainment. So the party begins at eight; "Big" and "Little" brothers will be there, Schiffer and his four will be there, Moran will be there, the Council will be there, free Cokes will be there and there's a water shortage on, so it might not do the rest of yo u an y harm to be there, too. Why not? Everything's free! New Lot Now in Use; In Back of New Dorm Remodeling of the Wilkes cafeteria highlights the College's program of Fall construction. The cafeteria, located be-hind Chase and Kirby Halls, oH South River Street, will incorporate the former Kirby garage, as well as an entirely new structure. The new structure will cost over $100,000. Another new feature of the physical campus is the acquisition of the former home of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. McLaughlin, Jr., 170 South River Street. The building has been remodeled and will be used as a men's dormitory. ON THE JOB - Workmen on the new $100,000 addition to the Wilkes College cafeteria speed construction of the new building to make the new accommodations available to Wilkes students. Yet another change made iu the course of the summer's face-lifting is the construction of the recentlycompleted faculty parking lot located behind the McLaughlin property. Slow-ups in the early summer which delayed construction on the cafeteria for a short time have been overcome, and work on the building is progressing so rapidly that the dining hall is expected to be completed within few weeks, possibly by October 1. Despite thi s slight delay, eating facilities will be available to students during the school day. Soft drinks and · a dining area will be available in the old section of the building. Students are requested to enter thi s area only through the r ear entrances to t he cafeteria, which face South Franklin Street and Gies Hall. The new addition to the dining hall will be two stories high , joining the old cafet eria with the former Kirby garage, is being constructed of brick and steel, paralleling the present walk from the cafeteria entrance to Kirby Hall. When completed, the new structure should be some 40 or 42 feet long. It is expected that the enlarging of the dining hall should provide sufficient space for a reception room and lounge. The completed cafet eria building will accommodate from 500 to 550 students at a time. 'lt will have facilities for day students in one section, while another area will accommodate the increasing number of those residing in the College's dormitories. Purchase during the summer of the McLaughlin home, and its conversion to a dormitory, brings to three the total of dormitories located in the heart of the South River Street, cam-pus. Other dormitories are located farther up River Street a bit north of the main camp~s, and another is situated on W est Northampton Street. The McLaughlin building, now the southernmost of the men's residen<:es, is expected to ,p rovide quar- a BEACON WINS CONTEST WITH AREA PAPERS The Wilkes Beacon, weekly student paper of Wilkes College, was awarded first place in last Spring's first annual area college newspaper competition, spon sored by the University of Scranton's Aqu~nas. N ews of the Beacon's victory was not received until after the last edition of the year had been published. The Beacon, edited last year by John D. Curtis, competed against the Aquinas, as well as publications from Misericordia, Marywood and Keystone Junior colleges. · Judges were Al Williams of the Scranton Tribune and Frank Parry of the Scranton Times. Williams was a recipient last year of the stat e's top prize for front-page make-up, while Parry, telegraph editor of the Times, has been cited numerous times for excellent work in journalism. A critique handed down through the co-ordinator of the contest, Tom Edwards of the Tribune, said, "'T he Wilkes paper was excellent from stem to stern and showed careful planning throughout." "Starting from the headline on page one," the citation continued, "the paper caught the eye and kept reader interest throughout." The Beacon was further lauded for variety of type, face and size, imagination in presenting the news and for news tuned to the interest of readers on campus.

Considered by some to be perhaps the greatest ever to play for the College, Trosko should combine well with Picton, since the head coach is often rated as Wilkes' finest quaterback.

Picton has declared himself delighted to have Trosko's assistance, while Trosko hopes that together they can produce a good t eam. · "I know," Picton has said, "that if just a little of Joe's a,bility rubs off on his proteges, we'll have a good line."

Now that's a fair enough question, we think, and it ought to get some kind of a reasonable answer. It occutted to us that others might also be wondering too what the Beacon's attitude might be in regard to various campus events in the coming year. Now a policy in a paper such as this isn't necessarily a cutantl-dried thing about which we can say, "The Beacon. will take this stand and this stand and this stand on that subject and the oth~r situation." Rather than uhdertake such a cold and premeditated attitude, the Beacon expects to scrutinize events as they come, scrutinize them carefully, and then decide in favor of whatever side of the question under consideration seems to be most for the good of its readers. Suffice it torsay that in general the Beacon will take as much a reserved view as possible, withholding judgement until each question that might be a possible source of controversy actually .9ome1? before the student body. Med School Accepts Coon Robert J. Coon III, has received official notification fro m the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine that he has been accepted for admittance in the term beginning September, 1956. Coon, undertaking an A.B in Biology, is among the first of the premedical students at Wilkes to be accepted fo r Medical School. He was extremely elated with the news. When asked how he thought Wilkes had prepared him for advance study he replied, "I have been very happy at Wilkes ... .with the number of students from Wilkes taken into medical schools I would say my preparation is great . . . academically and socially." Coon is a native of Towanda, Pa., where he attended St. Agnes Parochial school and graduated from Towanda High School in 1952. He Congratulations! It gives us considerable pleasure to see that at least some of our readers are remembering that intramurals, card parties, tects, football games, dances, club meetings and what-have-you are side-shows to the main event here at the College, that is to say the business of attempting an education. Last Tuesday morning we sat in the College gym and watched two young ladies and one of the spear side of the student body receive awards for outstanding scholastic work in their freshman and sophomore years at Wilkes. There's a good bit of busmess running around this place known as 'student activity', and it's good to see that a few of the students got it into their heads just what their principle activitiy ought properly to be. So the Beacon is happy this week to salute Vera Wroble, Irene Tomalis, and Jesse Choper. It's nice to know someone's thinking. Falk Heads Sports IRANIAN STUDENT For BEACON This Year ENTERS C. AND F. Ivan H. Falk has been appointed _sports Editor on the Beacon staff FIELD AT WILKES for the 1955-56 semesters. Falk replaces Al Jeter who graduated from Wilkes last June. The new appointment was confirmed this week by acting Dean George F. Elliot. Falk, a veteran newsman, served as Asso.ciat'e Editor of the Beacon last year. Prior newspaper experience includes editorship of the Wurzburg Post Argus in Germany · while Falk served with the U . S. Army. The Argus was a tabloid similar to the Beacon in style. Falk has t a k e n several journalism courses at Wilkes and plans a career in the newspaper field. Adding even further to the already fa miliar international element at Wilkes this year is Nasser Bonheur from Teheran, Iran. Nasser arrived in the states in Sept ember, 1951, when he entered Lakemont Tcademy, a school located at Elmira, New York. After graduating from Lakemont, a prep school, Nasser continued his education at Keystone Junior College, near Wilkes-Barre at LaPlume, Pa. This fall he entered Wilkes as a junior majoring in Commerce and F inance . He is now a resident of Ashley Hall. Nasser's plans for the future include entering the export and imLIBRARY GETS GIFTS port phase of the business world. · Kirby Hall, the Wilkes College When interviewed he stated that library, is richer this semester by he considers that "the United some 250 books, gifts from friends States is a great land of progress of the College. and opportunity." One of the Fall's donations was the present of Dr. and Mrs. Guttman. Mrs. Guttman was the College psychology adviser for several years. Another group of books, about Poland, was given the College by Mrs. Kocyan in memory of some deceased friends. Integrity Urged Hoover io Teach By Farley Speech Al Alma Maler Ifi F. Jrs f Assembl y ■ Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Wilkes president, in s peaking to the student body at the first assembly prog ram of the year, reaffirmed his belief that integrity is probably the most important single quality a college student could possess. Dr. Farley remarked on the attempts to inaugurate an honor system at Wilkes over the past nineteen years. He stated it has been one of his greatest desires to see such a system instituted, "for an honor syst em is m erely a small measure of the integrity that we know all college students possess. If we have honesty in one another, we can have faith that men can create for t hemselves a fine world." The president later announced through Dean of Men George Elliot that his remarks were misinterpreted by those who construed them to mean that the administration intends to assume the initiative in , expanding the groundwork laid in honor system discussions last year. During th e closing semester last year students met with the fa culty in a series of informal discussions to bring before ea ch other the views from both sides of the lecture table. At that time, Dr. Farley expressed hope that the development would proceed slowly, methodically, and purposefully on a student level. He saw possible failure in a sudden thrust into a seemingly different educational atmosphere. The basic theme of the remarks at assembly was that our tomorrow Robert J.

Just a few hours after Picton told the BEACON that he felt a lot better about the schedule with Bill Sirnonovich doing a crack job at fullback, the Edwardsville line-smasher found it necessary to withdraw from the squad. HEADS GRIDDERS Just filling this gap in the gridders' offense would cause a case of ulcers, but then Neil Soccer coach John Reese was able to face the coming season with a bit more confidence than his football counterpart as the hooters rapidly got into shape for next Saturday's away opener with Rider. The illness and injury bug has not yet bitten the inhabitant's of Kirby Park's dike sector as it has their older brothers, the Grid coach Russ Picton yesterday SOCCER CAPTAIN gridders. Most of the team remade a plea to any member of the student body who would like to ported in good physical shape come out for football to do so imand the late-comers have found PICTON ISSUES CALL FOR NEW PROSPECTS it difficult to keep up in the tough drills scheduled by Reese. Conditioning has been the most important factor in practices thus far. Following the opener with Rid er, the Colonels must be prepared for a tough weekend. They meet Lafayette and Hofstra at home on October 7 and 8. Wilkes has n ever beaten the Leopards from Easton though last year's winning team came close. However, they had to settle for a 3-3 tie. After wading through Lafayette, the booters tackle Hofstra the next day. This New York school boasts one of the best small college teams in the country and have always been rough in football and bask etball. Temple Came Close The most difficult challenge on the sch edule is the Temple game, slated for Philadelphia on October 15. This tilt marks the entry of the ·Colonels into big tim e soccer. Temple, runners-up to the national champions, always ranks high in the sport. They lost the national champion ship last year to Penn State, 1-0. Reese and the team feel that this is the year for the Colonels to make their move. The squad is w ell fortified with returning lettermen. The 14 seniors on the team form the nucleus of a juggernaut which has been under construction for three years. The graduation of Dean Arvan and Dick Polakowski left two holes. However, the addition of Nick Giordano, native of Italy; Seth Ansah, resident of the Gold Coast; and the return of Tony Bianco from the service will supply replacements. Giordano Looks Good Giordano has been a bright spot mediately. Picton stressed that experience is not n ecessary - only a desire to play the sport. He emphasized that any n ew additions will not be dropped from the squad. The coaches will make every effort to teach them the fundamentals of the gam e. The coach said t hat h e knows that there is a wealth of football talent in the school that has n ot com e out as yet. Now t hat sickn ess and injuries have cut the squad to 27 men, the presence of n ew prospects would be most encouraging.

Younsu Koo a nd Hank Deibel round out the front line with Carl Van Dyke back at center forward.

John Bresnahan has looked so good that ,Coach Reese is considering moving him to another position when he is not spelling the veteran Petrilak at the goal. Despite the tough road ahead, it is Rider that the Colonels are pointing at first. The team has not forgotten that the Trenton school handed the booters their first loss of the campaign last year. in pre-season scrimmages . His fan cy footwork has virtually assured hi m of a spot in the starting 11 -probably at inside right. Bill Lloyd and Fred Boote will probably share the outside left spot. The most spirited competition for a starting berth has been seen at left fullback where Joe Popple, Dave Polley and ve rsatile Glenn Phethean have b een staging a battle royal. Ansah has also impressed in workouts with .his rugged style and knowledge of the game. Soccer is the national sport of his homeland and though he has not played in fi ve years, he has quickly shown that he has not forgotten anything about the game.

Touch football, basketball, softball and last year's popular new THE INTERNATIONAL TOUCH feature, bowling, will highlight the program again this year. Reese is also thinking of instituting table tennis, volleyball, and golf if enough students show interest. The touch football season will begin in the near future. Those int ending to enter teams should be making plans at this moment. The interest shown in the bowling league last year has led to hopes for a bigger and better league this year. An earlier start should lead to a longer, competitive season. However, the keglers will have to wait until at least November 1 before they can begin rolling, due to the fact that construction at the Jewish Community, Center, site of the Sunday evening intramural bowling, will not be completed until that date. Those interest ed in join. ing t eams should contact R eese in the next' month.

Unique College Service The second session of the new and unique Senior Employment Seminar being conducted this semester by John J .

The foresighted Chwalek has introduced this three session seminar in an effort to prepare student s for. their job-seeking intervi ews with the officials of nation-wide firms. "Good jobs, good paying jobs, are not as easy to get as some of you might believe," Chwalek told the seniors in the first session last Friday.

The program has been geared to make the all important interview a suecess. "First of kind," Chwalek Chwalek indicated that the seniors are being offered aids, in leetures and written materials, that have -been in the planning stages for about six years. He stated that he has sought help from colleges and universities throughout the east in establishing this seminar, but was unable to find a single school which offered such training for students.

This year's junior cl~ss seems to ha ve set some sort of precedent for running unopposed candidates. Larry Amdur will automatically become president, and John Coates, treasurer.

Wednesday the student body will elect officers to administer the affairs of the four classes Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman - for the coming school year. If we're lucky maybe half the students might consider voting. Probably much less actually will. Every campaign for the last few years has ended, or so it seems, in much the same manner; a few people work to get their candidates into office, and these actively. concerned few seem to do about the only voting which takes place. So when the ballots are counted, who's usually in? The candidates who had people working and voting for them. And who's doing the complaining? The people who couldn't be bothered to vote. We've given up urging these apathetics to vote; all we ask is that they don't bore those who did with their complaints. Cheers, Chaps Tomorrow afternoon the Wilkes soccer team takes the field against Rider. And tomorrow night the helmet and pad men have a go at Lebanon Valley, as the College's athletes commence the Fall sporting season. The people who comprise the teams are attemptfng to carry the College's name and that of the community into the distant reaches of New Jersey and the dowstate regions of their own commonwealth. Whether they win or lose, which we flatter ourselves isn't important in the long run, at least they're trying, as the Beacon wishes them luck on the long road they've scheduled for the coming months. Caution, Please We've noticed, in the last week or so, that the daily bulletin has had a rash ·of announcements concerning missing books, the owners of which have been making piteous moan for return of their misplaced property. Now l.t occurs to us that while a few of the student body might by some stretch of the imagination be able to afford the loss of a piece of study equipment worth five dollars or so, the rest of us would find such a loss, to put it mildly, inconvenient. There is only one fairly sure method of insuring against such possible loss, and that is ordinary common-sense caution. While for the first few days of class it might have been advisable not to write in a book lest it be found needful to return it to the Bookstore as incorrect for the course in question, a .t this late date all such problems ought have been solved, and the use of a bit of ink is little enough, one should think, to protect an investment whose loss hits not. only the pocket-book but the grade-book. Wilkes Gels $1,000 In Balances; Refrigerator, Other New Equipment Added lo Chemistry Department By JERRY STEIN The Wilkes College Chemistry Department this year has added to its array of equipment five analytical balances, Cl refrigercrtor, and has equipped all older balances with magnifying reading glasses to aid students in reading the minute graduation marks where the weight is recorded, it was learned from Francis J. Salley, assistant professor of chemistry. The purchase of five new analytical balances was perhaps the most expen sive of the purchases since each balance costs a'b out $200. The analytical balance is an instrum ent which can weigh objects to onet enth of a milligram , the approximate weight of the ink used in making the period at the end of this sentence. This precision-made instrument plays a vital part in such courses as Physical Ch emistry and Quantitative Analysis because accuracy to such a degree is extrem ely important. To facilitate t he determination of the weights of objects, the department has supplied all the balances (22 in all) with magnifying glasses. This will enable the observer to recoi·d his readings more easily and .accurately. Very often in chemical work, procedures require that objects be cool•ed to a certain .degree . . Ice cubes, therefore are needed frequently. Instead of resort-ing to the refrigerator in the Biology Building. as has been done in the past, chemists now have. ·their own refrigerator. The Carr· Biscuit . Company has donated :• a moisture tester and an oven. The·s e two instruments are also important in analytical ch emical work. An automatic buret will be used this semester. A buret, in general, is an inst r ument used in m easuring volumes of liquids. This buret is characteristically different fro~ others since it possesses the feature of automatically filling itself from a reservoir. ------- COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE BEGINS NEXT WEDNESDAY Next week begins the annual drive of the Wyoming Valley Community Chest. Students w ill again have an opportunity to contribute, and it is hoped that the College w ill make its usual good showing, according to Mr. Welton. Farrar, who is Chest worker for the College this year. In the past the College has always been one of the few institutions which ea ch year fill · its do.nation quotas. This year's quota for the College will be some $1600, 'a n increase of some 5% over last year, but comm ensurate with th.e recen t growth .i n both ·faculty and stud ent body. Farrar will assist Dr. Charles Reif, of the Wilkes biology departm ent, who is campaign major for area private schools.

ELLIOT, BROTHERS, TENNER,BATTERSON NAMED PROCTORS Beacon Th e Registrar sa id the newcomers seem not only to ·be high in quantity but are, on paper, one of Wilkes' best classes qualit y-wise . Many of the frosh were class officers or student council members in their high schools . They have chosen diversified fields so that the increases in liberal arts and science students are balanced. More Dorm Students The majority of the enrollees con tinue to come from Wilkes -Barre and surrounding communities, will commute to classes each day. The swelling of the tota l ranks, however, has caused an increase in in dormitory students . Mr. Whitby indicated the trend has been for the school to add more dormitory students as freshmen eac h year than are lost a s graduates. The school h as bee n fortunate in this respect to acquire the McLaughlin home as a new men's dormitory. This addi tion increases the total campus resid ence ., to six 'b uildings. Engineering in Demand "Although the stud ents are equally divided between those seeking degrees in liberal arts and the sciences," Whitby expla ined, "there seems to be a great demand for engineering . This has made it necessary for us to t urn away some students, for our engineering facilities are limited.'' Students in engineering can obtain a 'certificate in en g ineering' in a two year course here. Those who have gon e to ~ngineering schools for baccalaureate degrees have attained excellent records. No indication was made that Wilkes intends to expand its engineering co urse to four years. SENIOR ED. STUDENTS TO OBSERVE CLASSES IN NEW PROGRAM By DICK JONES This fall, as part of their curriculum, secondary and elem entary education majors are required to observe a ctual classroom methods and procedures by visiting t h e various public school and parochial schools in Wilkes-Barre and vicinity. Thi s system known as student observing helps to prepare education majors for the second semester of their senior year when they will begin to student teach under the supervision o f a n experienced teacher. While observing classroom methods and procedures the future student teac hers see in action the various principles, methods, and a ctivities which t hey have been studying fo r th e past three ·years, but will have to utilize themselves in the near future.

Carey emphasized that although the team is small in num ber and light in weight it is a scrappy bunch and will give each opponent a run for the money this year. Picton lauded line coach Joe Trosko for producing a line that should stand up to the high standards established by form er coach George Ralston. The band then played the Wilkes Drinking Song, which was followed ,by a "Beat Lebanon Valley" cheer.

The Lebanon Valley tilt did have one happy note for the coaching . staff. That was the play of fresh- , man fuliback Dave Panzitta, a 5-10, 180-pound crusher from West Pitts- · ton.

They are a running team which likes to roll up yardage the hard way. Another bright spot for Picton is the return of Ronnie Rescigno who saw limited action at Annville. Ronnie will be ready for full-time duty Saturday night. Emphasis in this week's scrimmages was placed upon ball-handling from the newly unveiled Split-T. The seven fumbles against Lebanon Valley kept the Colonels in the hole at all times. Also, look for more passing against Ithaca. Andy Molitoris, Duryea freshman, will handle the quarterback chores if Gross does not play. He will have Rescigno, Panzitta and Dick Wozniak as his running mates in an improved backfield. The line will be headed by Joe Wilk, Captain Glenn Carey, Bob Masonis, Royal Hayward and Neil Dadurka. GRIDDERS HAMMERED, 41-6, BY STRONG LEBANON TEAM Russ Picton's gridders traveled down to Lebanon Valley last Saturday for their first game of the year only togetbelted, 41-6. Hampered by injuries and costly fumbles, the Colonels never got started. The Dutchmen recovered seven Wilkes fumbles and converted four of them into touchdowns. Three other boots halted Colonel drives. Dick Wozniak chalked up the only Wilkes score with an eightyard scoring thrust. · Rosters for touch football must be handed into the gym office today, according to an announcement made by Intramural Head John Reese yesterday. Forms have been placed in all dormitories and other noticable places about the campus, or can be obtained at the gym office. Morris Head Na med Dick Morris has been appointed student head for the touch league. He will supervise the making of schedules and rules. He announced that a meeting of all captains will be held next Tuesday following assembly. At that time, rules will be discussed and playing dates will be decided upon. Each team captain should check his roster carefully to see when his team will be able to play games without any risk of forfeit or postponement. It is hoped that the season will ge~ under way Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Bowling Around Corner Reese also stated that plans are being made for the start of intramural bowling. The starting date will depend upon the completion of the Jewish Community Center building, site of this Sunday night activity. The league will once again be co-ed. However, there will be one notable change this year. Each team will have girls, and the scores of the lady keglers will count in the team scoring. It is hoped that enough girls will register to insure at least two on each team. Last year about 20 girls participated. CLIFF BRAUTIGAN STRICKEN AFTER PLAYING 55 MINUTES Cliff Brautigan Cliff Brautigan, . star Colonel tackle for the past three grid seasons, was rushed to the General Hospital Monday where doctors diagnosed his illness as pneumonia. Brautigan played 55 · minutes a- gainst Lebanon Valley last Saturday while running a temperature which was unknown to Coach Russ Picton. Brautigan was reported to be resting comfortably at the General yesterday, but will be lost to the Colonel line this Saturday. Coach Picton has not as yet decided upon his replacement for the Ithaca game. Brautigan is a 5'10", 185-pound senior tackle from East Orange, New Jersey. He attended Immaculate Conception High School, starring in football. He was president of his class during his junior and sophomore years, but found it necesary to withdraw from this year's elections due to illness. He has been a member of the Colonel basketball teams as well as football and was named Beacon "Athlete of the Week" during last year's campaign. Cliff is a resident of Butler Hall. It is expected that he will be able to return to action for the Trenton game, October 22. By JONNI FALK By TOM KASKA Week" goes to Glenn Phethean, who turned in a gritty performance in a losing cause against Rider College last Saturday in the first soccer game of the season for the Colonels. Slated to start in a fullback slot, Phethean was called upon to fill a gap at halfback when Ahmed Kazimi, star veteran, was hospitalized. Glenn Phethean He took on a man-sized job and made it look easy. One of the best conditioned men on the team, he mainta~ned a sensa• tional pace throughout the entire game though the halfback position calls for more running than any other position on the team. He played the entire 88 minutes. Called Sparkplug Coach John Reese said of his performance, "Phethean was the spark plug of the team ~ always fighting and driving." He contributed the spirit that bolstered the Colonel charges when they showed signs of faltering in the second half. Phethean was continually in the thick of action, keeping the Rider offense on guard at all times. Time after ti me, when it appeared that the Trenton hooters were about to close in on the net, he made magnificent steals. On the offense, his pases were sharp and accurate in a game of sloppy passing. Improved Player In the opinion of the sports staff, he is the most improved player on the team. A native of West Pittston Phethean never played soccer before coming to Wilkes. As a senior with two years of experience behind him, he is sure to be a mainstay in the Colonel lineup throughout the remainder of the season. Glenn is a secondary education major who specializes in English and social studies. He is president of the Education Club and active in the Future Teachers of America program. When informed of his being chosen 'Athlete of the Week,' he said, "I'm thankful for those days of hard work with Bob Partridge. He taught rrte the tricks of the trade. I' also glad to be playing .with a great bunch of guys upon whom I know I can depend." About the only cloud in the sky these days is that pall of gloom hanging over Kirby Park. There may also be a couple over the hospitals in which a few front-line Colonels have been dwelling for the past week. Said athletes are Colonel Ahmed Kazimi of the Soccer Light Horse and Colonel Cliff Brautigan of the Pigskin Rifles. First, Kazimi was rushed to the Nesbitt Hospital to add to John Reese's woes and then Brautigan came out of the Lebanon Valley game and into the General Hospital. Who knows? Maybe Percy's has been sending Kidney stones and mashed virus to the dorm dining hall. The only thing we can say is, get well quick, Colonels. We kind of miss you around here. Better Late Than Never It is too bad that both Colonel units had to go into Saturday's games cold. While it was the first game for the gridders and the hooters, both Lebanon Valley and Rider had already played a tilt. Lebanon had battled to a 6-6 tie with Millersville Teachers, and Rider had who m p e d Fairleigh-Dickinson's hooters, 5-1. Neither of our squads had even been able to scrimmage against a team of college caliber. We don't feel that we have to make excuses. What we are leading up to is that it is almost sure death to wait until October to begin competition, especially in football. It seems like footba ll starts earlier every year. Yet the Colonels must wait while other squads gain valuable game experience. PLAN TO ATTEND KIWANIS BENEFIT GAME NEXT WEEKEND J0hn Reese reports the team in excellent spirits despite the 3-2 loss to Rider J.ast Saturda·y. Most of the men feel that they should have won that game and will be out to atone for mistakes this weekend. The same starting lineup will take the field against Lafayette with one posible exception. Tony Bianco, recent service returnee, came up with a charlie-horse in the Rider game and may be replaced by Bill Lloyd at inside left. Bianco last week's game. Tied Leopards Last Year was impressive with his spirit in The Colonels will not only be trying to nail down their first decision of the year against Lafayette, but they will also be after the first win in Colonel history against the Leopards from Easton. The closest we have ever come to beating them was the 3-3 tie last year. Hofstra is a new addition to theschedule this year. However, they are coached by Bill Van Breda Kolff who had coached Lafayette t eams for the past several yeai-s. Bill: moved on to Hofstra this year to become basketball and soccer coacn. The two games this weekend mark t he beginning of a period of eight days in which the Colonels will play four games. They will tangl e with Muhlenberg at home next Friday and then journey to Philadelphia to play rtatiortally rated Temple Ort Saturday. This period will mark the test fot the soccermen. If they can win three of the four games, they should be asured of a winning season. COLONtL BOOTERS LOSE OPENER TO RIDER, 3-2 The soccermen dropped their first tilt of the season last Saturday when they were dumped by Rider College, 3-2, at Trenton. It was the second win of the year for Rider, following a 5-1 victory over Fairleigh-Dickinson. Carl Van Dyke scored both Colonel goals. He tallied on Jim Ferris' assist in the first period and on a pass from •Bill Lloyd in the third. Rider tied the game in the second, and then boomed home two big goals in the final stanza to cop the tilt. KAZIMI LOST FOR SEASON; OPERATED UPON AT NESBITT Colonel hopes for a winning soccer season received a severe setback this week with the loss of Ahmed Kazimi. Kazimi, stellar halfback from Trans Jordan, was suddenly stricken ill before the Rider game and doctors at Nesbitt Hospital in Kingston found it necessary to perform surgery Monday. At press time, it was learned that Kazimi was resting fairly comfortably, but would be lost to the hooters for the entire season. The doctors seem to think that his soccer career may be permanently finished. Ahm ed had been a stalwart of the Colonel hooters for two seasons, the only two winning seasons in Ahmed Kazimi Wilkes history. He played in the front line but was shifted to half- about this time.

The Wi!kesmen had 32 shots at the goal but could not produce one tally. They had better luck after Hofstra jumped into an early lead in Saturday's contest and came back to rack up win number one, 3-2. Once again, Carl Van Dyke was the Colonels' big threat, c o m in g through with all three goals.

Gridders Drop Second The gridders were not so lucky up at Ithaca and went down, 12-6. Given a 7-0 lead on Ronnie Rescigno's 35-yard touchdown romp and Dick Wozniak's conversion, the Pictonmen seemed to have put their offense in their back pockets for the rest of the game.

SC Considers Raffles, Class Representation In addition to receiving estimates for this year's budget at its meeting Monday night, the Wilkes Student Council discussed several other items. The Council granted a request of Theta Delta Rho for $50.00 for its annual All College Tea. Requests for permission to hold social events were heard from the Chemistry Club and the IRC. The Council granted permission for the Chemistry Club square dance and for a proposed IRC raffle, to be held before Christmas. Several methods were also discused for securing better representation of the classes on the Council. The Sophomore Council members have arranged a system of office hours, making themselves available to their classmates or to anyone interested in Council issues. Les Weiner mentioned that he is planning to inform his constituents of important matters by way of brief newsletters. Still another method discussed was that of having Student Council members appear at the various club meetings to explain what the Council is doing, and answer any questions the club members might have. f. ,.

As we find some time to follow campus sports again with some amount of regularity, we find that things haven't changed much since the last time we scribbled a sports column (Dike Divots) for the Beacon, our old alma mamie. The football team is still having problems (with a new coach following closely in George Ralston's footsteps regarding greying hair, or soon will anyway) and a soccer team also having troubles, with nobody quite able to say· why. But, then, let's look at one thing at a time. Coach Russ Picton has found that all is not what is should be on the Wilkes gridiron this fall. First, he started with a decided lack of depth and experience, and practically no manpower, just mention just a few powers. Ten in the first game, his youthful and inexperienced crew had what was probably tlr ' worst cause of "fumblitis" in the school's history - 11 miscues, four of which were turned into Lebanon Valley TDs. Last week, a greatly improved Colonel tea~ showed it coul4 move against a giant Ithaca eleven, but even though miscues were much reduced, the two committed cost Wilkes the game. Certainly no one can blame a coach for his team's mistakes on the field, but Picton has his mind set to try to make up for the early losses. The soccer situation presents a different sort of problem. In the past two years as this year, we've had the horses. Of course, we've had winning seasons in the last two years, but everyone, including coaches and players felt we could have done better. The team showed that the same weakness that plagued it in the past is working overtime this year. In the first two games, the Colonels looked like they could be world beaters, up to a -p oint about 15 yeards from the opposition goal, that is. They are· still having a terrible time getting the ball past the goalie, but really, it is a mystery. And simply because they have the men who should be able to put in in the net. It seems thaf ·a little intangible spark is missing from the line (with the exception being Carl Van Dyke who has scored all five Wilkes goals to date). Losing t he first two by one 0 goal margins while outplaying the opposition points out the problem even more strongly, especially when you consider that Wilkes out-shot Lafayette almost two to one, but couldn't score. Saturday's game may have been the beginning of the end of th , problem. At least with Van Dyke hitting for three goals, we saw that there is plenty of honest to goodness potential in the line. But every other man on the forward wall is also capable. Maybe we've had all our bad breaks early in the year - that would be good. Now we can concentrate on punching through to scores. It could ,be a great year! Business Examinations In Feb., April, August The Admission Test for Graduate Study in Busines, required for entrance by a number of graduate business s c h o o l s or divisions throughout the country, will be offered on three dates during the coming year, according to Educational Testing Service, which prepares and administers the test. During 1955, many students took the test in partial satisfaction of admision requirements of graduate business schools which prescribed it. Among these institutions are the graduate business schools or divisions of the following universi- .1 ties: Carnegie Institute of Technology, Columbia, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Syracuse, U . of Chicago, U. of Michigan, U. of Pennsylvania, and Washington U. (St. Louis). A candidate must make separate application for admission to each business school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business and when. Since many schools select their entering classes · in the spring preceding their entrance, candidates for admission to the 1956 classes are advised to offer the February test, if possible. The Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business is not designed to test specific knowledge in specialized academic subject s. Normal undergraduate training should provide sufficient general knowledge to answer the test questions. Sample questions and information regarding registration for and administration of the test are given in a Bull etin of Information. 50 million times a day at home, at work ,,,. or on the way There's nothing like a 1.

This is the sixth issue of this year's paper, with eighteen more slated between now and June. To most of our readers (see Wisdom of Wilkes) the paper seems to be doing fairly well so far; to us behind it, it's a source of worry on one at least particular account. It is, we feel, rather less than pointless, to put out any kind of vaguely half-way decent Beacon one year, and then to have it folldwed by nothing the next. But that's what looks to be in store. · ,,,., To put it as shortly as possible, we're top-heavy this year. That is, there's. no~ody to t~ke over when we're gone. Everybody on the editonal staff this year happens to be a senior. As originally planned, there was one underclassman on the staff, but that fell through, and now the entire executive department of the paper goes out in June. There's a crying need for sophomores and juniors. We've a fairly good-sized writing staff of frosh who are doing about as well as people with limited experience can be expected to do, but we can harr:).ly expect to have sophomores in the top drawers next year. So the point of all this should have become obvious about sj.x of seven lines ago; that we're begging any sophomore, or, b~tter, junior to come out for the paper now. With .just a little work this yeo;r, ~oroe};)ody'll ·have a lot to look f9:rwgrc;l to next Tomorrow night, it'll cost Wilkes students a buck-twenty per couple for Theta Delta Rho's annual wiener roast, held this year at O'Connell's Twin Lakes. The yearly affair starts at eight, runs till midnight. . Proceeds from the wiener roast will go into a general activities fund to aid completion of several sorority projects.

Begun last year, the award is given annually to the top-ranking girl of the junior class by Mr. Morris. John •Bucholtz was elected editorin-chief of the Manuscript, Wilkes" literary publication, and Thomas Kaska was chosen associate editor in special elections, it was learned from the members of the Manuscript staff last week. Bucholtz was chosen to fill the vacancy created when the previously elected editor, Herbert Bynder, accepted a scholarship to study at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Kaska was elected to fill the vacancy created when ;Bill DeMayo, previously elected associate editor, decided to study at Columbia University this semester: The new editorial staff of the Manuscript immediately undertook the task of sponsoring a campuswide contest for the selection of the best contribution to the school magazine. Bucholtz has been active in campus affairs during his stay here and this year promises to be an asset to the college's debating team. Location of the wiener roast this year is near Harveys Lake, west of here. One of the easier routes to the grounds is to go up Wyoming A venue in Kingston to Bennett Street, turn left onto Bennett Street and proceed through Luzerne onto the Luzerne-Harveys Lake highway. Follow the lake highway until the intersection, at the top of the last hill approaching the lake, is reached. Turn right at the intersection and proceed to a "dead end", which is Carpenters Road. Make a right turn onto Carpenters Road and follow same for less than a "farmer's mile" to the grounds. To doubly insure that students motoring to the affair don't go astray Saturday night, the sorority will post a map on the College's main bulletin board in front of the cafeteria area •b ehind Chase Hall. General chairman for the wiener roast will be Nancy Beam. Heads of committees for the af-. fair will be: Connie Kamar unas and Norma Davis, pu blicity; Merri Jones and Nancy Batcheler, refreshments. Mary and Vicki Zavatski will be· in charge of entertainment, while Elaine Fabian and Dorothy Thomas will hos the clean-up crew. Despite the fact that Wilkes College attained its goal in the recent Community Chest campaign, the help given the chest by the student body was still somewhat picayune. Of the $1590 raised by the college the students accounted for $176, or slightly more than twenty cents per student on the average - less than the cost of a pack of cigarettes to help the community that's done so much to help the College. It is true that the $176 is the effort of less than a quarter of the student body which means that certain individuals were really quite generous. But if this is true, the other three-quarters seem to have been pretty slack. One wonders, when the need is so desperate and the work to which the Chest's funds are put so deserving, how the average student can live with his own conscience when his answer to the cry for help is "I have given all that I can, I have helped twenty cents worth, I have sacrificed to the extent of four mills a week"?

As the final phase of this year's hazing plan, the freshman class yesterday moved the store's supplies to Harding Hall, on South Franklin Street, across the campus from Chase Hall where the Bookstore has •b een located for the past nine years. Freshmen loaded with packages paraded down South River Street, a cross South Street and up South Franklin Street to the store's new site. They were accompanied by the College band, under the direction of Bob Moran. Millie Gittens, associated with the Bookstore for over nine years, was driven in an open car at the rear of the parade. Millie, who now oversees the store, has been with the College for eleven years. By HELEN M. KRACHENFELS The budget for the school year 1955-56 as prepared by the Student Council was pr& sented to the Administrative Council on Wednesday afternoon, and was approved with minor reservations. A Student Council committee consisting of Cliff Brothers, Dick Carpenter, Chet Miller, Helen Krachenfels, and Les Weiner attended the meeting in order to explain the Student Council's reasoning in preparing the budget, and to answer any questions which the Administration might have. The only item on the budget which met with som e disapproval was the proposed allocation for the Manuscript. It was the feeling of the Administrative Council that the $100 increase over last year's budget for that activity should be justified. (Last year the Manuscript received an appropriation of $400, but ~pent only $375 of the amount. This year the Manuscript request was vise in yesterday's change of Bookstore location.

Three weeks ago the BEACON announced that the College's new cafeteria was not to go nameless. The College administration had decided at the time to permit the student body to assist them in selecting a name for the building, and the BEACON passed the information along. We were also picked to serve as a clearing point for suggested names. The students were to submit names to the BEACON, which would would then pass them on to the deans for further action. The deans were anxious to co-operate; the BEACON was anxious to co-operate. To date the student body has suggested some ten names, which were handed in only when we had to assign reporters to comb the campus for them, and of which only two were even vaguely intelligent enough to be presented to a serious board of trustees. Now we do not propose to insult the student body by prating here of school spirit, but we do wonder just what, if anything, ls going on in their minds. Of course, if students choose to ignore an opportunity to help the people up above help them, it's their own business. A:pd if they consider it their business to disagree with us in this matter, that's also their right, and they are full welcome to tell us or their fellow-students so in o.ur Letter to the Editor section. We're up on the second floor of the Lecture Hall, and if they want to drop off a reqsonable name for the cafeteria, that's O.K.. too. STUDENTS HEAR NIXON OTHER PERSONALITIES AT HERALD TRIB.

He has won letters in baseball, football and basketball as well as soccer. He learned most of his sports at Hanover Township High School. A major in elementary education, h e is currently student-teaching in Kingston. He will graduate in February. Petrilak is married to the former Lois Jones and is the father of a baby girl.

The performances of football's Ronnie Rescigno and soccer's Parker Petrilak caused a deadlock in the voting by the team coaches and sports scribes and the only solution to the problem was to name both athletes, Petrilak was chosen for his remarkable performances a g a i n s t Elizabethtown and Bucknell. He made a total of over 40 saves in both games. Veteran soccer observers at Lewisburg during Tuesday's 2-2 tie with Bucknell called him the finest goalie they had ever seen in American soccer. End Home Season with 2 Tilts; Parker Petrilak Ronnie Rescigno Grid Colonels Play On Road Tomorro'N Wilkes College's football team will take to the road again this week as they travel to Princess Anne, Maryland. to meet Maryland State Teachers College in a Saturday afternoon game. The Colonels registered their initial win of the '55 season last weekend at Trenton, where they whipped Trenton State The soccer team received another blow this week when it was learned that Dave Polley would be lost for the remainder of the season. Polley was stricken ill late last week and r ushed to the General Hospital. H o spit a 1 authorities stated that he is expected to remain there for two more weeks for treatment. As the soccer season ends on November 12, this would eliminate him from further competition this year. The same thing happened to Polley last year when doctors ordered him to cea se playing several weeks before the end of the season. Polley heard the bad news last year at the same time he was notified by m embers of the Beacon that he had been selected as Athlete of the Week. Volleyball. Ping-Pong Slated for Intramurals John Reese, director of the intramural s ports program, has announced that volleyball and pingpong tournaments will be staged in the near future. Teachers College by an 18 to 6 score. Previously this year the Colonels had dropped decisions to Lebanon Valley College, Ithaca College, and Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Maryland State's Hawks, on the other hand, have a 6-0 record. The N egro team is undefeated and unscored on in the Eastern Intercollegiate Conference and in their one game out of the conference defeated Hofstra, 19 to 14. Similar Offenses The Hawks' attack, which works out of the T-formation as does the Colonels' offensive, consists of fine running of sophomore halfbacks John Sample and Stan Jones and a counter offensive of Andy DeMent's sharp-shooting passing. Wilkes' offensive thrusts are led by halfback Ronnie Rescigno. This week starting tackle Cliff Brautigan will return to the lineup after two weeks' absence with a case of pneumonia. Also returning to duty for the Colonels is starting fullback Dave Panzitta. The freshman ballcarrier was out of commission last week due to a back injury. Added to the injury list of Wilkes College is starting halfback Dick Wozniak who suffered an ankle injury in the Trenton game last week. The· rest of the lineup remains in good shape although the roster is paper thin. The Colonels will be underdogs in this .renewal o.f rivalry with Maryland State College. Rescigno Half a Team Ronnie Rescigno's performance in last week's Trenton win was like a chapter from a story book. He carried 26 times and gained 131 yeards from scrimmage which is about five yards per crack. In all the Colonel totals for the game were 159 yards gained in 59· tries. Rescigno's total, compared to the grand total, is about half. So far this year Ronnie has scored twice, once in the Ithaca game and again in the Trenton contest. The Ithaca tally was the only score for the Blue and Gold forces in that contest as the Colonels went down to defeat by a 12 to 7 score. He registered only one out of WC's three tallies at Trenton but his runs set up the other two scores. He is a shifty, break-away type runner who swings into high gear WRESTLERS TO MEET the instant he gets the ball.

Kazimi, chairman of the affair, urges all members of the student body to be present for the game to show their appreciation to John Re ese's hooters . The Wilkesmen should rate as favorites over the Trenton State aggregation tomorrow afternoon. The Colonels will have a slight revenge motive in tomorrow's contest after having dropped a decision to Rider, also located in Trenton, earlier in the season. The game will start at 2 -P .M. Although the Kirby P ark home of the Colonels could pass for a swimming pool, Reese was hopeful that weather conditions would dry it up by tomorrow. East Stroudsburg will bring a winning record to Colonelville having been the only team to stop Elizabethtown before last Saturday night when the Colonels drubbed them, 3-1. The Teachers annually present one of the best teams in the State. Reese is faced with the problen1 of coming up with a few new halfbacks now that Glenn Phethean has been moved to Dave Polley's full-back slot and Bill Lloyd and Sam Shugar have leg injuries. H e used Ed Masonis and John Bresnahan at Bucknell, but both boys are inexperienced although spirited. Shugar and Lloyd may be available for limited service to lessen the load. The Trenton and Stroudsburg games will give the student body their last chance to see this year's edition of the hoot ers in action as they will wind up the season by playing Gettysburg and Philadelphia Textile on the road. GRIDDERS WIN FIRST; INTRAMURAL$ ON DOWNGRADE Registration for campus intramural sports programs seems to give some proof to the conception that American youth are swinging away from emphasis on sports. ThE:re is a definite lack of interest among able-bodied males when only about 30 of them are interested in playing intramural football. We can remember back when the enrollment was sm aller and the interest in intramurals greater. It extends beyond football. T he basketball league has been a flop for the past two years. Either not enough teams entered or those who did, "forgot" to show up on nights when they were scheduled to play. The same thing goes for the softball program. It seems that as soon as some teams lose a ga me, t hey want to quit. WE HAVE SOME FUNNY PEOPLE Last year, a n ew bowling league was installed which was an immediate success. However, this year interest has been rather lackadaisical. Registrations seem to indicate a smaller turnout than last year - EVEN THOUGH ALMOST TWICE AS MANY GIRLS AS LAST YEAR HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED! It has even gotten to the point where certain "geniuses" have found it amusing to deface the fo r ms which have been posted for registration. Of course, the latter are the type we DON'T WANT in the program. About the only fun they can get out of their actions is ruin• ing things for somebody else. They are the same ones who will do most of the complaining when things don't s uit them. Take your gripes someplace else, fellows. We don't want them. Yet, it seems to us that sports have always been a vital part of American life. It led to the pecul iarly American trait known as individualism. If it is disappearing here on campus, it must be fading elsewhere. Wonder what the next generation will be like? We figure that one of the big items which l eads to decreased interest on the campus is the lack of dormitories. Also there is the matter of distan ce to be traveled to Intramural events. However, we can't reconcile this when we think back on the intramural loops of several years ago. HOPE FOR NEW START Just what makes a good intramural program: 1. Student interest; 2. Attendance; 3. Good supervision. The program is under the direction of John Rees e this year and he is certainly well-qualified for the job. Part of his college preparation as a physical education major at Penn State was devoted to intramural programs. Rees e hopes to incorporate n ew sports into the program this year. The school recently purchased two ping-pong tables and he hopes to get an intramural tournament under way soon. Volleyball has also been scheduled. However, all his work will prov~ fruitless unless the student body shows that they want the college program to continue. Or maybe we should do what' West Point does - make intramural participation a required part of the college curriculum. DEFEAT TRENTON 18~6; ROOTERS WIN UPSET By CLIFF KOBLAND · The Blue and Gold football squad picked up its first win of the current season with an impressive 18-6 win over Trenton State Teachers College at Trenton last Saturday. Coach Russ Picton's charges ruined State's Centennial Day celebration by scoring three touchdowns in the first half and were n ever headed from there on in. Paced by the brilliant running of Ronnie Rescigno, who carried for 131 of the total 279 yards the Colonels gained and scored one of the touchdowns, the State College t eam was never in the game after the opening kickoff. Dick Wozniak, flashy halfback from Nanticoke and quarterback Howie Gross added the other two colonel tallies. Boaters Win, Tie The Wilkes hooters also had a winning Saturday as they spoiled the Homecoming game by upsetting favored Elizabethtown College, 3-1, at the loser's field. The gale celebration for the "Lizzies" was ruined by a fired up Wilkes team paced by the playing of Nick Giordano and Carl Van Dyke. Carl got his seventh goal of the season in the final period. Nick picked up his first two goals of the season while playing a st ellar game at his inside left position. On Tuesday, the hooters traveled to Buckn ell to take on the Bisons. The game ended in a 2-2 deadlock after one of the most hair raising games ever witnessed by the crowd at the Lewisburg school. The. game tied at the end of the regular four quarters, 1-1, was sent (continued on page 4) �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON \7NowEducation Students SENIORS APPOINT 8 COUNCIL MEMBERS; I Practice Teaching PROMISE FULFILLED DEAN'S CORNER By GEORGE ELLIOT (Acting Dean of Men) One of the encouraging signs of growth and progress here at the school has been the continuing talk about the possibilities of establish,ing an honor system. It is the sort of goal that any man of ideals and of faith in the perfectability of humanity can support. The successful operation of such a system would be the greatest tribute we could receive to the rightness of what we have been trying to accomplish here at Wilkes College. One thing each of us has to consider, however, is the meaning of the word, "system". A system is something more than an organizational plan or a body of rul~s. We must not delude ourselves into confining our thoughts to a modus operandi or to the possible administration of such an idea. A system implies a coherent whole, some form of rational and regular interaction or interdependence among ideas, principles and facts. I underline the word, "principles", because I feel that the omission of this foundation-stone would defeat any system. Group honor is de.pendent upon and is the result of collective individual honor. Each person involv,ed must believe that his personal ;honor is many times more impor·tant than grades he might receive JORDAN Est. 1871 Men's Furnishings and Hats of Quality tt 9 West Market Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes College BOOKSTORE or success he migh achieve. He must believe that the true measure of a man is his integrity; that a man without honor is an incomplete man, a man to be pitied. He must believe that honesty is not like a cloak that can be donned at certain times and doffed at others. He must not delude himself into the idea that there are degrees of dishonesty. A man is trustworthy, or he is untrustworthy; he is honest, or he is dishonest. An honest man tries always to uphold a code of personal honor, and he needs no policeman or vigilante group to enforce it. When and whether an honor system comes to Wilkes College depends upon you, the individual students. Certainly it cannot and will not be superimposed upon you by either the faculty or the administration. It can come only when you firmly and fully believe in the sanctity, in the utility, and in the dependability of your personal honor. At that time the establishment of such a system will be easy; its success will be assured. Are you ready for the challenge? "BLOOMER GIRL" CHOSEN FOR '55 MUSICAL SHOW Wilkes College will present the musical, "Bloomer Girl", it was announced by members of Cue 'n' Curtain on Tuesday. The performance is slated to open in April and will be the second sponsored by the college. The other was "Girl Crazy" presented last year at the Irem Temple. "Bloomer Girl" will be given by Cue 'n' Curtain again this year in cooperation with the Wilkes College music department.

The event is in collaboration with the national White House Conference plan instituted by President Eisenhower. The White House Conference on Education is a plan to focus citizen interest on local, state and national problems of education, and to search for possible solutions. It is a result of President Eisenhower's appeal for "the most thorough, widespread, and concerted study the American people have ever 'made of their educational problems." The afternoon session from 4 to 6 will consist of group discussions on the six major issues of the year: 1. What should our schools accomplish? 2. In what ways can we organize our school systems more efficiently and economically? 3. What are our school building needs? 4. How can we get enough good teachers - and keep them? 5. How can we obtain a continuing pu~lic interest in education? 6. How can we finance our schools - build and operate them? Each of six groups will discuss one of the questions in regard to the 1ocal situation, and formulate possible r,olutions. Chairmen in charge of these groups are: Dr. Gordon D. Bell, Wyoming Valley Chapter, American Red Cross; Mrs. Leroy E. Bugbee, League of Women Voters of Wilkes-Barre; Mr. Herbert J. Mori-is, Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; Mrs. Miltona Klinetob, Pennsylvania State Education Association; Dr. Samuel A. Rosenberg, Wilkes College Economics Department; and Atty. Maurice S. -Cantor, Wilkes-Barre Citizens Committee. In addition, over fifty :people have been invited to attend the group meetings and act as consultants.

Editors, Groh, O'Toole, Picton To Make Choice; Decision On Next Tuesday Helen Rutledge, Helen Krachenfels, Chet Miller, Bob Coon, and moderator Jessie Choper took the first part of the assembly hour to present pe-r sonal views and allowed the students to question them in the final portion of the program. As was typical of pa st honor discussions many questions were left unanswered because of insufficient time, Many opinions wer·e still on the lips of the students as they left the assembly hall. Choper opened the program with a brief historical account of attempts to bring an honor system to the school from the time it was Bucknell Junior College to the present time. The most recent attempt that was carried to completion was in 1954, when the senior class voted against "honor". Last year elements of the student body originated new discussions that ha ve carried into this year. The BEACON picks its second annual Homecoming Queen next week. This year's Queen will be selected from a field of a baker's dozen candidates nominated last Monday. Final selection will be made next Tuesday by a judging board comprised of the editorial staff, Mr. Groh, and Mr. O'Toole. The Queen will be crowned at the Bridgeport football game next Saturday. Gloria Dran, last year's Queen, will crown her successor at the game. The Queen will again have a Marine honor guard for the ceremonies. This year's coronation will be conducted by the Beacon in conjunction with the. Alumni Association. Alumni will make arrangements, procure honor guards, gifts for the Queen.. The two runners-up in the contest will serve as princess-attendants to the Q~1een, will join h er 4during the halftime ceremonies. Besides the official crowning at Kingston Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Queen and her Princesses will attend the Alumni Warm-Up Party Friday evening at the Kingston House, and the cocktail party and buffet supper Saturday night after the game. The board of judges will m eet on Tuesday at 11 to select the Queen and h er attendants from the 13 contestants . The judging policy differs this year in that last year's Queen was selected directly by the Beacon staff. The identity of all contestants will remain unannounced until the final selection is made. Last year's Beacon began the practice of selecting a queen for Homecoming. With her succession by a second next Saturday, it is hoped that the practice will become cusomary each year. Non-Informing Favored Miss Krachenfels spoke first expressing an affirmative view and emphasizing the need for integrity and responsibility among students. Miss Rutledge spoke affirmatively and negatively on certain as. pects of an honor system. She was opposed to the student informer type '5ystem that substitutes many proctors for one proctor. She favored a "system that will make a student feel as though he is stealing from the blind when h e cheats" . Bob Coon, the third speaker, presented a definite plan that a number of dormitory students had thought might work. The high light of this plan was "noninforming" by students on each other. Chet Miller took a definite negative stand and presented four great stumbling blocks. 1. The school is too small. 2. The school is not founded on tradition or religion.

By changing the method of selecting articles for publication it is hoped that more students will .write for the magazine. The c han ges are intended to give every contributor an equal opportunity to bave his article published. ., Highlighting the changes made is a system whereby the identitiesof contributors will not be revealed to Association members until after :it is decided to accept or reject the 0 ~~r~\t t!a~~ear~~~~s f,~:ll d~!cj~~:;d solely on their merit, the .staff not being influe:p.ced in any way by the names of the authors. Association members will read every manuscript and submit an oral criticism of each, together with a rating of 3, 2, 1, or "reject" to the Editorial Board. Guided by the criticisms and ratings of the Association members, the Editorial Board composed of the editor, associate editor, · secretary, and business manager, will decide which manuscripts will be published. The Association may, however, overri,de the dedsions of the Editorial Board by a three-fourths vote of the members present at a meeting called for that purpose.

The federal security agency of the Public H ealth Servii:e has awarded Wilkes College a grant of nearly $2,000 with the stipulation that any patentable discoveries acc1·uing therefrom wo~1_l_c\ be taken up with the Surgeon General of the Health Service.- F~~\he~~on~c~l?e~!t!e~ear Wilkes College has added something special to its homecoming festivities . The big news last year at this time was the Beacon staff's idea of having a homecoming queen to reign over the event. This year, the new attraction comes from Band Director Bob Moran of the Music Department. For the first time in the history of the college, majorettes will lead the band at the halftime ceremonies at homecoming. The girls, three of them, will wear the traditional blue and gold of Wilkes College. The new majorettes include two sop homores and one freshman and are Carol Hallas, Janice Schuster, and Bl'.rbara Vose. Carol Hallas is a sophomore at the college and has had experience as a majorette at Swoyerville High School where she lead the majorettes. At Wilkes she is a member of the Education Club and TDR Sorority. Janice Schuster, also a sophomore, comes · from Coughlin H_igh School where she was drum maJorette. At Wilkes she is a member of th e Beacon staff, secretary of t.he sophomore class, and a member of TDR. Barbara Vose, the sole fre shman also comes from Coughlin where she gained her experience in twirling anJ strutting. Barbara belongs to Cue 'n' Curtain and TDR at Wilkes.

Ruth Younger, sophomore: "I believe an honor system would be a definite asset to the educational progam of Wilkes. However, an honor system would be even a greater asset to the character of the individual student." Frederick Krohle, junior, English major: "I feel that an hono·r system is inevitable at Wilkes, regadless of the form it may take. Sooner or later, the students will see that the benefits of an honor system and adopt one.

(continued on page 4) �Friday, November 4, 1955 WILKES COLLEGE _ BEl,\.CON 4 Butler Hall, Engineers Win , In Intramural Football Play By CLIFF KOBLAND The busiest week of sintramural football so far this season saw both Butler Hall and the Engineers pick up victories and W eckesser suffer a loss and a tie. On Thursday, October 27, Weckesser Hall and the Engineers fought to a 6-6 draw. W eckesser opened the scoring when on fourth down Engineers' punter George Morgan was smothered n ear his own goal before he could get off his kick. On the next play from scrimmage Weckesser's speedy halfback Gary Weingartner carried over for the score. The conversion was missed and at the half Weckesser lead, 6-0. It wasn't until late in the third period that the Engineers started to move on the passing of their quarterback Don Pacropis. The Engineers score came as a result of a Pacropis pass to end Harold Pezzner late in the third quarter. Both clubs could not move the ball in the final quarter and the game went into the books as a tie. Engineers Wallop Butler On Monday, the Engineers picked up their first win of the season with an easy 30-6 victory over Butler Hall. Paced by their triplethreat quarterback Don Pacropis, who scored three T.D.'s, the Engineers never had any trouble with the men from Butler. Sheldon Isaacs and George Morgan broke into the scoring column for the Engineers. This game was a replay of one that was protested by the Engineers two weeks ago. Wednesday saw Butler get its first win of the campaign with a close 14-6 victory over W eckesser Hall. The Weckesser team gave the highly favored Butlermen quite a scare when at halftime Butler led by only one point, 7-6. The Butler score came on a pass inter- ception by Jerry Lind, who ran from his own forty for the score. The extra point was successful when Lind hit Mickey Perlmuth on a pass play. Bill Duffy took a Gary Weingartner pass and scampered for a Weckesser TD late in the second quarter. The score stood 7-6 till the final period when Butler added the insurance tally on Stan Abram's buck up the middle. Lind this time ran for the extra point.

The Princesses will ride in the motor-cade that leaves Chase Hall tomorrow at 1 :30 and travels through the business section of the cit y to the football stadium. A host of student paraders are expected to join the caravan. Princess Connie Miss Kamarunas came to Wilkes in 1952 fro m Scranton where she attended Scranton Central High School. She was a member of the .art staff on the student publication "Impressions". In the fall of '52, Connie enrolled at Wilkes as an art student. Her work under Mr. O'Toole was known a bout the campus for its distinctiveness, and all had seen her posters and work on the Art bulletin board signed affectionately, "Connie K." She is no stranger to beauty and personality titles having been nam•ed the "Colonel's Queen" at the Letterman Dance last year. She was also a candidate in the Cinderella contest. Connie has changed her major to Commerce and Finance. As a dormitory student she is a member of the Inter-Dorm Council and the campus sorority, Theta Delta Rho. Princess Jane Miss Obitz is a day student from South Wilkes-Barre. She attended Meyers High School and has been extremely active· in student affairs throughout het school days. At Meyers she was vice-presidertt of the . s.e nior· class, had the lead in U:ie senior play, and was a member 'of the. Modern Choir. P1·i ncess Jane completed a twoyear' course at Keystone Junior College where she was active in cheerleading and basketball. She also attended Oberlin College then ti;ansferted · to Wilkes as an Elementary Education major. Her impressionable smile and flaming r,ed hair have made her as distinctive Ifs any of the landmarks at Wilkes College. Jane is a girl everyone seems to know. Her performances in Cue 'n' Curtain plays have always been excellent. Last year student critics ·judged Jane's performance in "Girl Cra2:y" one of the best. During the Christmas assembly program last year J'ane gave a stirring reading of a Christmas message. The prospective teacher is a member of the Education Club and also a member of the Theta Delta Rho sorority. THE BEACON Miss Jacqueline Jones was selected as Wilkes College's second Homecoming Queen in balloting Tuesday afternoon by five s.tudent judges and three faculty members. Seven lovely Wilkes coeds entered the final judging and Miss Jones amassed the greatest number of points in the special Homecoming Queen selection. Chosen as Princesses to the Queen were Miss Connie Kamarunas and Miss Jane Obitz. The 20 year old junior, an elementary education major, will travel to the football stadium, as the feature attraction, in a caravan of new open-top cars and paraders.

The co urt will also be presented flowers by the Alumni Association. Miss Jones is a nati ve of Kingston and a grad uate of Kingston High School. She entered Wilkes in 1953, for the reason that many local students come to the "Community College" - "It is a small, highly-rated college, convenient for me to attend while living at home." She is a member of the campus sorority, Theta Delta Rho, and she was a candidate for Cinderella in May, 1955. Alumni Aids Beacon This year the Alumni Association has taken an active part in the arrangements for selecting and crowning the Homecoming Queen. The title was first bestowed on a Wi!.kes coed last year when the Beacon editors formulated all plans for the Homecoming royalty. An honor guard of four naval reservists from the local armory will ecort the Queen and her Princesses through most of the ceremonies of the day. The court and honor guard will be guests at the Alumni cocktail party in the Hotel Sterling tomorrow night. In case of inclement weather, the Queen will be crowned at the Alumni Cocktail Party tomorrow night at 8 :30.

Part of the celebration embraces 1omorrow afternoon's football game with Bridgeport, at the- 'halftime ceremonies of which the ·B eacon's second annual Homecoming Queen will be crowned. ·The young lady in question, Jacqueline Jones, was selected earlier this week by a board of faculty members considered as outside objective experts, together with the Beacon editorial staff and the Alumni Sec:retary. We trust the students will help the Alumni have a successful Homecoming by turning out for this last ,home ball game. The Beacon has done and is doing what has been meted out as its part, as have the Alumni, and it would help if the College also continued to do its part as in the past. Thel'e are various other reasons for going to the game besides the cherished hope that we'll foul up the ceremonies. Among other things, football is recognized today as a legitimate form of entertainment and recreation. Too, it would probably also help the yearbook photographer to have a better background for his pictures than the usual blank rows of empty seats. HERE WE GO AGAIN They tell us that a few honest liberals and sincere supporters of .the honor system may ha,v e been in some way offeneded by our editol'ial of last week. We triep to explain that we were not in opposition to honor systems per se, but to the particular one offered in assembly last week. We still have an open mind on the subject, are·-willing to be shown. And if we did inadvertently offend the sincere, it goes without saying that they have our apologies. · Indeed, part of the .purpose of our editorial was to protect those who favor .a system (to say nothing of the rest of our readers).from falling prey to an honor plan that was, to us, unworkable. When we attacked this plan, we did not by any stret~h of the imagination wish to indicate that it was offered in anything but good faith. What caused our protests was the inconsistency of a group which had not, apparently, been able to agree, even amidst itself, just what the basis of the proierred system was to be. When offered at first, the plan was to have had no means for punishing or reporting violators. Then one of the honor advocates .g rudgingly admitted under pressure from the audience that, if the situation got too bad, "something would have to be done." The "Honor Council" proposed in the offered plan would merely report on the "workability and continuation" of the system. In short, the very advocates of the sytem, when they explained that the system would probably be dropped if the 'Coun• cil's reports proved adverse, themselves admitted the plan's un wolikabi1ity. And the remark .later to the effect that "even if all the system does is to keep the cheating down to the present level. why not accept it" again admitted the high probability of failure of the plan. In other words, these faults in the proposed type of honor system were not brought out by attacks or questions of us or by those who would have to bear the responsibility if the system were instituted, but by those who offered the plan themselves. HASTE AND THE REST OF US Those who would institute their own particular brand of system here at the College have a right to their plans and opinions. We would be, of course, about the last quarter from which to expect or receive any attack on such unquestioned rights. We argue, when we feel it necessary, against plans and opinions, not against the right to them. We may legitimately argue against the plans and opinions, as well as the manner in which they are presented, and in this case it is such presentation as well as plan and opinion which concern us. We cannot help but be disturbed by the frantic, almost fanatic rapidity with which the advocates of the system under consideration rush to thrust their views upon their fellow-students. There is, it seems, a sense of "rush, rush, rush," "quick, quick, quick," "hurry, hurry, hurry_." about the way the whole thing has shoved at the students while at full tilt so to speak that gives us .pausei. This haste disturbs us. Somehow, it feels vaguely unnr;xtural. One wonders why these planners and opinionfonn~rs .a re in such a rush to throw their half-formed concepts before us, why they are not content to let the rest of us go quietly about 'mrr .business. WHO'S THE INTERESTED PARTY HERE? Yet for all their fuss and feathers, the promoters of this questionable system do not seem, so far, to be particularly convincing to the people who'd be saddled with their system if it were instituted - the students. Perhaps the best comment on their arguments is that they weren't able o hold he students at the very assembly at which the plans and arguments were presented. Wilkes students, normally attentive to even one of the dullest speakers, no matter how over-long he spoke, implicitly gave one of the most expressive opinions ~f the system and the arguments for it without speaking a word. They simply watched the clock. and when the time came they clapped their hats on their heads and went off in search, presumably, of something more substantial for their stomachs than had been feeding their minds for an hour past. m!.:eA!~ :~a~~~~jl~~ii~/~:= I rounded businessman; somewhat .on the jowly side too. The mild and meek student of former days is now the divorced father of thirteen children, "The girl I would most like to elope with" is now the sedate matron who seems to have P.T.A. tottooed all over her. The once glib politician is now the harassed and silent husband. All the stillactive alumni wolves seem sudd.e nly to notice the long latent attractions of the former Miss Nothing. One thing I will be awed about for weeks to come is the "success story" graduate, who I vaguely remember slouching and yawning in my eight o'clock economics class years ag·o. It was a little difficult to recognize him with his eyes open. Now, however, he treats me with just the slightest air of condescension as he ex plains the current economic state of the union - from the businessman's point of view, that is. In spite of these mild distractions ther~ is something wond.e rful, and satisfying and memorable about these occasions. A graduate never really leaves his school behind; there is always something of the college in him, and something of him still remains at the campus. , There is something just a little bit sad too as we have occasion to try to relive some of the good old days. For a little while then, "Welcome Home, John and Bill and Mary and Louise and all of you!" Your satisfaction and joy at being here is only topped by our satisfaction and joy at seeing you all once again. ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;;-~-~-~---.-:.:--~-$-••-.!-:-~-;..--~-;.--:.--:.----:_:_-~-.,.-.--.,.:---!-;.-;.--;:--:.~--: Tottring the Clubs JUST ALITTLE HUMOR posing a graduated income tax on individuals, but not on industries - this .would be ·the only method by which the high debt the state Some people's writings are a S.A.M. - The Society for the Adis now in could be equally distri- vancement of Management is head- jungle of verbage thrown together buted." ed on campus by Len Mucahy; it with a Sahara of thought. is a junior chap.ter of the nationJohn Linkowski (about a philosoLE.TT-ER TO :PHE ·EDIT-GR wide S.A.M.

Beacon �Friday, November 11, 1955 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Nine Seniors Play Final .Tilt For Boaters at Philadelphia When the soccer team travels to Philadelphia tomorrow to play Philadelphia Textile Institute, nine seniors who have been responsible for winning seasons for the past three years will . be making their last appearance in the Blue and Gold of .t he soccer team. 'Most of the nine boys have formed the . nucleus of a Colonel team that brought Wilkes its first soecer wins as well as winning seasons. PARK ER PETRILAK will wind up a long and brilliant career in Wilkes' sports by tending the goal for the last time. Petrilak holds the distinction of being the only four-letter man in Wilkes history. He holds · monograms in football, basketball and baseball as well as soccer. JIM FERRIS will doff his soccer suit after tomorrow's game and· join the basketball squad for the 1955-56 campaign. A fine allaround athlete, Ferris was voted Beacon Athlete of the Year last year. YOUNSU KOO is one of the foreign boys who came along just at the same time that Bob ·P artridge was developing the current squad and fit in nicely. Younsu was voted to the Tri-State AllStai· team last year and has been a winner of Athlete of the Week honors. A terminal student in engineering, he will continue his studies elsewhere. He holds the all-time scoring record with eight goals. CARL VAN DYKE, like Ferris, will join the basketball . team next week. He paces the team in scoring with· seven goals and has figured prominently in All-American nominations doled out by officials and rival coaches. GLENN PHETHEAN and JOE POPPLE, the two fullbacks, both hail from West Pittston and play side by• side on the soccer field. Phethean was the first Athlete of the Week this year and has been outstanding. Popple is noted for his strong kicking foot. They form the finest fullback team in Wilkes history. SAM SHUGAR leaves the soccer team after the T extile game, but will head right for coach John Reese's grappling squad. Sam has been a steady performer all year despite a raft of injuries. HANK DEIBEL has been an under-rated performer who has come into his own in recent weeks. · He. is the most dangerous man on the team on corne1; kicks, and four of his boots have been converted into scores this year. He will leave a big hole at outside right. FRED BOOTE got a starting assignment in mid-season and immediately made a hit. Playing inside, he has been one of the scrappiest performers on the squad and made his first goal of the year a winning tally against Elizabethtown, All nine boys will be in the startin glineup against the foreign starstudded Philadelphia Textile team tomorrow. The Colonels dumped this team last year and will be looking for a repeat in this tilt. A win tomorrow would assure the hooters of the best season in Wilkes history. The record now stands at four wins, three 1ties, and three losses. ANSWER TO INQUIRY Parker Petrilak Jim Ferris An inquiry from another eollege arrived in the public relations office this week which contained a loaded question. The letter asked if there was any truth to the rumor t hat Wilkes College was going to drop footba ll due to_ lac·k of interest and finances. We would like to go on r ecord as saying that there is no truth to this rumor. Nor do we know how the story started to circulate. But before we all go overboard, let's examine the fa cts . About six years ago, Wilkes put teams on the field which created quite a reputation for cold , single-wing efficiency. Most of these teams was composed of World War II veterans. They were bigger and more experienced than the 19-20 year olds manning today's gridirons. As a matter of fact, several of them were our boyhood heroes on local high school teams. . There has been no such · flood of vet erans onto college camp use:; following the Korean War. The average draft8oil in the K-war was in the 21-2.5 age bracket and had eit h er completed his college education :(students were exempted) or else he had a good job to go back to. .Those who decided to go to college did not go to play football. Most of the athletes had already had a crack at coll ege sports. FOOTBALL BACK TO NORMAL Thus, we can say that football has achieved some so rt of normalcy since the World War II boom. · Most schools have had their share of ups and downs and just to prove that ·wilkes is no exception, we are doi.vn - ·but so are the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern and even Texas. You can't be a winner every year. The policy of the administration concerning football is not one of de-emphasis, but one of sanity. We encoura-g e football, but we require that football players meet the standards of the college. This corner doesn't believe that any football player has ever been turned away from the school if he measured up to its standards. Nor do we solicit gridders to come to Wilkes. We are a small college and only so many scholarships can be given out. Instead of being given to athletes, they are iss ued for leadership. If a person receiving such a grant happens to be an athlete, he still must meet the requirements specified. WE HAVE IT, IF THEY WANT IT Younsu Koo Carl Van Dyke Football has n ever been a money-making proposition on this campus. It is given a budget every year like any other school activity and must try to stay within this budget. A ·deficit is expected. Nobody is pressuring the public to see our games. It it wants to come it is welcome. We think that the let-down is indicative of today's youth, rather than the school or its policies. Take a look at high school footbal l. G.A,R., once considered a pushover, is riding a crest . . Once powerful teams, like Kingstori. and Nanticoke, are far below par. We can remember when it took three cuts to get the Kingston squad down to where the coaches could start hand-picking the material they wanted. Now, they are lucky if 50 boys come out for the ·sport. Swoyerville continues to put out top-notch teams with a minimum of manpower. But it is the exception because it has a peculiar breed of boy there - peculiar today because they want to play football - and Y onKondy does it all by himself. How is the high school condition refl ected at Wilkes? Despite the fact that the student bgdy is higher in numbers than ever, Russ Picton took only 23 men to Hofstra last week. There are some good boys among that 23, but they can't do it alone. Actually, in terest in sports arriong males has reached a low point - even to where John Reese had to advertise for a manager - once· highly prized positron which was fought over. a Glenn Phethean Joe Popple HIGH SCHOOL BELOW PAR Last year's high school seniors are this year's freshmen at Wilkes -and last year was probably the worst year for high school football in Valley history. The good team s were fair and the bad t eams were poorer. Naturally, the better players f ell prey to the big-time scouts. However, things are bound to take a turn for the better and the overflow of players will find their way to Wilkes to become good small college gridders. ' The temporary swing away from s1>0rts can't continue because of the very nature of youth. It will tire of new interests and turn back to the old favorites - football, baseball and such. Yet, there is a touch of irony in the inquiry which started this mess. It came from a school which just last year was lamenting its gridiron fate and pleading for the administration to dig up a few "honest-togoodness" football players.

Late registrants get their name on a team by contacting Jonni Falk in P.R. List of teams and schedules will be circulated late next week. Girls are reminded that they too are eligible to compete. Previous experience is not necessary and is frowned upon in some quarters. About 20 girls have already registered for this popular Sunday evening pastime.

Of the four, only Joe Jablonski is in uniform at present. John Bresnahan. Carl Van Dyke and Jim Ferris are still spending their spare moments in soccer suits and will not be avaiable until early next week. ·· There are 21 players now working out under Davis' direction at •n ight practice sessions. Night practice will continue until Davis finishes a tour as assistant grid coach at Plymouth. Among the .21 candidates are 15 freshmen, four sophomores and two seniors, but six ·others are expected out aftler the end of soccer and football seasons. Besides Bresnahan, Ferris and . VaTI.

However, the practices under the eyes of Davis will decide the formation of the team which will open a 23-game schedule on December 2 with Ithaca providing the opposition at the campus gym, Freshmen candidates for the squad are: Reggie Trzeskowski, Walter . Angielski, Harold Smith, Dave Gowen, Bob Mason, John Gend:a11, Bob Rahl, Tom Ruggiero, Pete :Strojney, Frank Pavlick, John Tokach, Max Friedlander, J erry Ester:man, Jack Golden, and Dave :Shales, 6-8 center. Sophomores are: Ed Birnbaum, Hob Sokol, Don Domzalski and Elmer Snider. The other senior is Ed Troutman, a veteran of last year's squad. While the returning lettermen are not exceptionally tall, they form the nucleus of a fast-break team which should be able to give the tough schedule a good battle. Shales will get a good look by Davis as he could supply the answer to the Colonel height problem.

But if he tells the absolute truth for the dramatic equivalent of 24 hours, he's in pocket not only his own money but the cash laid against him by Jim Miller and Paul, Schiffer, together with Larry Amdur. Miller, Schiffer, and Amdur, as Ralston, Donnelly, and Van Drusen, aren't going to let Williams ha ve anything like an easy time of taking their money - particularly since they want his. That's the problem confronting Bruce Williams tonight. Local high school students found out last night how he solves it, and this evening the people here at the College and their neighbors in the community will have a chance to see who wins the bet. Curtain time for "Nothing But The Truth" is 8 :3,0 tonight at the College gym. General admission is a dollar, but Wilkes students get in for free on activity passes, which will admit two this evening and at tomorrow night's performance as well. Others in the cast besides Williams, Miller, Schiffer and Amdur include Carl Ernst, Jane Obitz, Marian Laines, Patricia Yost, Barbara Tanski, Nancy Beam and Nancy Brown. Mr. Alfred S.

We noted that just a little hc;trd work would doubtless put some junior, possibly some sophomore, this year into the editorship next Fall. That was four weeks ago. Since then the number who've joined the Beacon staff from the upper classes have been a big round figure - zero. Maybe we just don't think along the sqme lines as others around here, but we feel that there ought to be some attraction to a position which not only permits one to serve the College and the community, but which even offers the more personal rewards of a scholarship and even some degree of social prestige - or so they tell us. But all that aside, it does seem odd that no-one p.as so far endeavored to try for the position. Just what goes on in readers' minds in regard to this situation, anyway?

All College Tea Top Social Event Letter to the Editor . • • To the Editor Wilkes College "Beacon" Sir: After the recent "Honor Code Assembly" I felt that a large fraction of students were unconvinced by the arguments used in its favor. Perhaps too much emphasis has been laid on honor as a self-rewarding virtue. Somehow when you are honorable you are supposed to glow with a nice feelin g. A lot of students have waited for this to happen after they have been honest, and have been disappointed. Naturally they are cool toward moralistic arguments. Settings up a code of beha vior on moral foundations is a desirable, but an often unneeded refinement. There exist in ·everyday life numerous exam_pfes of cod~s of behavior which are the result of common-sense practicality alone. An example is · the notable respect for other's 'p roperty found among boatman and fishermen. It is common experience to see in harbors thousands of dollars worth of rope, anchors·,''nets, ,dinghys, and so on, lying unwatched on _ docks and boats. The ' boats themselves :tre often as not, left open, valuable instruments and gear ready for the taking. · Yet theft is ·r are '. in the extreme. Because it is · easy to catch the thief? · ' Qi·ute the' oppo- site; it is almost impossible. The reason is simply that boating and fishing would cease because the total available energies of all concerned would go into locking up and posting watch on every belonging. In a plant where I worked ·nine years about fifty machinists had their own tools, each man three to five hundred dollars worth. No one ever thought of locking them up. I never heard of a case of loss by theft. That was a code of mutual convenience having the very practical reward of freedom from the nuisance of being always on th e watch. The most telling argument for an honor code in college is that i-t further frees your teachers, your admini strators, and yourself for the one purpose you presumably ca me here for, that is to get educated. Every instant we spend being cops is taken away from you. 1-t is doubly taken away becaus'il energy · spent on teaching often ·gives us a .self-renewing sense of accomplishment, whereas energy that goes into policing is worse than wasted, it is squandered on a hun;iiliating and ,,negative job. You students would be surprised to know how much you influence -the quality of your courses. There is one very . positive way you can do so for the bethir : free us so we can be more creative teachers it's no fun being a cop. '· C. M. Worstall Asst. Prof. of Physics I I Delta Rho.

The Viceroy filter wasn't just whipped up and rushed to market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for filtered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered.

His name is inscr.ibed as "Beacon Athlete of the Year for 1951," the first year that the paper gave out the award. His constant line of chatter, his willingness to help youngsters, and his all-out play should serve as an inspiration for Colonel teams to come for quite a while.

But the score does not indicate how cl9se the game really was. Butler Hall was always threatening. Almost all of the second half was played inside the Trojan 20, but Butler could not push across that all important score. The Butler defense was really something to see.

'Carnival' Features Bean-Guessing Prize; Winner Gets Camera MADRIGAL SINGERS TO GIVE CONCERT SUNDAY AFTERNOON One of the most attractive fea tures of the Town and Gown Series will be presented by the Madrigal Singers Sunday, December 4 at four o'clock in the Wilkes College gymnasium . In this concert, the second of a series sponsored by the Wilkes Coll ege School of Music, the Madrigal Singers, a small group of select singers who specialize in interpreting the madrigal works of the sixteenth and seventeenth century European composers, will present a program of madrigal works and Christmas carols of that period. Mr. John Detro y is director of the Madrigal Singers, who are composed of eight Wilkes m usici;u~~, Lettermen.'s Formal Annual Xmas Event Singer Talks on Spies Before WC Assembly Wilkes students will don their best bib and tucker n ext Friday evening and head for the college gymnasium, site of the annual You just can't convince some people! For example, Adolph Hitler had three authentic letters on his desk concerning the Normandy landing during World War II, but h e simply wouldn't believe that any spy system could get the information contained in them . They did. Dr . Kurt D. Singer used this and manv other similar incidents in his assembly talk on "Spies and Saboteurs" Tuesday at the college gym to show just how effective a spy system can be. Dr. Singer, who recently returned fro m a trip around the world, used a number of illustrations to describe the types, motives, and methods of spies. The former European newspaperman is the author of three books on spies and espionage and was edito r of one of the first underground newspapers in Europe. Those desiring to contribute must be at least 18, a ccording to John Re ese, director of the College donation program . Reese, who replaces Robert Partridge, h ead of the campus blood drive for several years, adds that those under 21 must have parental consent to donate. Parental Consent Students too far from home to obtain parental signatures , may contact Acting Dean of Men George Elliot. Elliott's signature will be accepted by the blood center in lieu of t he parent's. Donors may credit their pints to campus organizations if they so desire. Total contributions for the College are expected to be even higher this year than in the past. The College leads other area institutions in this respect and is expected to maintain its predominance in the current campaign . Blood Insurance Officials at the Red Cross Blood Cent er have explained that students who donate blood are giving under a three-fo ld insurance plan. They are assuring that the Red Cross will furnish blood to the donater, his immediate family, and an y member of the group he is donating for (in this case all students at Wilkes) in case of emergency. There is a quota to be met however, and Wilkes must meet this to be covered under the blood insurance plan. In cases where rare type bloods are needed in emergency the Blood Center makes special efforts to obtain the blood for individuals who are covered in the blood insurance plan.

You cannot obtain the same filteringaction in any other cigarette. 2. 3. Besides being non-mineral and non-toxic, this cellulose-acetate filter never shreds or crumbles. 4. 5. Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters. Rich, satisfying, yet pleasantly mild. The Viceroy filter wasn't just whipped up and rushed to market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for filtered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started research more than 20 years ago to create the pure and perfect filter.

I I TROSKO NAMED COACH OF PLAINS HOOP SQUAD HOOP PROSPECTS BRIGHT Contrary to the belief of some people, this year's grid squad did ,ot rack up the worst record in the h istory of the school. That dubious ·:stinetion belongs to a team of a few years back. Let's put the late, .alarnented grid season to rest with the following epitaph. What can JU do with 23 men? Word leaking from the gymnasium these <lays has an optimistic 1ne for the basketbal_l squad which opens tonight. Eddie Davis is ortunate to be able to inaug urate his coaching career with 80 percent f last year's starting t eam back. That fancy figure means that fo ur ~ ~he five first-liners are back in uniform. · Carl Van Dyke, Jim Ferris, John Bresnahan and Joe J ablonski 'ihould be able to top last year's splendid efforts with an added year o.f experience under their somewhat s lim belts. The quartet aver ages only about 5'11" in height, but have balance a nd speed. W e advise you to watch Jim Ferris in the last quarter tonight if ··.1e tilt with Ithaca should happen to be close. That is the time when ' ¾e rapid Kingstonian shines. H e is probably the best conditioned '1lete ever to play any sport for Wilkes and usually can run opponents ,o the ground in the late stages of a game. It is also an excellent i.son why he was "Athlete of the Year" last year and a strong candite to grab the trophy again. Joe Trosko, for mer Colonel gridder and line coach this year, has been named coach of the Plains Hig h School basketball t eam. Tr,osko ass umed his duties this week. He was a n outstandin g g uard on Wilkes grid squads for four years prior to his graduat ion in 1955.

Each ·issue has been a toilsome, though enjoyable, task for our· small staff to get into print. We hope that all of you, faculty and student alike, have seen the first issues, read, and enjoyed them.

We soon hope to incorporate a "letter to the editor" column that will prove as scintillating a s last year's. Now that we are about to enter the third week of publication, and most of the tasks of getting organized in schedule and school work are eompleted, the Beacon staff hopes anyone interested in any phase of newspaper work would offer a f ew of his free moments by attending one of the weekly staff meetings.

ROlber t Moran, band director, introduced Coach Picton and made an appeal for the wealth of book-bound football talent Wilkes possesses to come out for the team. ·Picton then introduced Glenn Carey, captain of the team. Carey emphasized that although the team is small in num ber and light in weight it is a scrappy bunch and will give each opponent a run for the money this year. Picton lauded line coach Joe Trosko for producing a line that should stand up to the high standards established by form er coach George Ralston. The band then played the Wilkes Drinking Song, which was followed ,by a "Beat Lebanon Valley" cheer.

Kersteen Mr. Donald R. Kersteen has been with this College since 947. He has been with Wilkes ever since it received its charter o operate as a four-year school. In the early days of the school te was the full time comptroller and supplemented his duties vith teaching one Accounting class. As the college grew he eft teaching and devoted his total efforts to the position of comproller. Mr. Kersteen's duties were not of ·any spectacular nature. ndeed, they were rather those which kept him out of the public iye. Yet without him many of the small but important details ..,-hich mp:de Wilkes a good school may haye been left undone. . Thus is a simple fact, there could be no college as we now mow it if there was never a man called Donald Kersteen. It va,s he who handled the College's finances in an era when most if the nation's small colleges were struggling in deep debt. It vas he who managed the budgets of clubs, other student activiies and the Student Council. It was he who counseled the inlividuals at Wilkes on private budgeting and assisted them in Jetting a college education on limited funds. Though many of us may never have recognized it, this man's xctivities touched on all of us, in all branches of college, students m:.4 . faculty ,alike. Donald Kersteen may never hqve been a Jreat man as this world counts greatness; he may never have ,een a famous man; he was a man who did his job to the best ,f his abilities. No man can do more. Quite simply, then, we join with the rest of Mr. Kersteen's riends here at Wilkes in wishing him the speediest and most :omplete recovery possible. . ***** Somethl·ng Worthwh1·1e WISDOM OF WILKES QUESTION: Do you think that interest in intra-mural sports has been on the down grade? If so, why? ART MEYER: "In recent years I believe that interest in intramural sports has been on th e increase rather th an decreasing. Many new sports have been added for student participation, for example, bowling, volleyball, ping pong. The addition of bowling in particular has stimulated female as well as male intere st in the college sport program." LEONARD FRANCKOWIAK "Interest has lagged because sports are not stressed enough . all they do is put signs up for intramural sports and that's the last you hear of it. Clubs and other organizations don't push it enough." ED McCAFFERTY: "I would not say interest is low. As a freshman however, I do not consider myself thoroughly acquainted with the program ahd cannot give a definite answer."

BOB MORGAN: "The students of Wilkes participate in sports very well. In comparison with other schools we have few dorm students, which cuts down on participation to a degree . . . . In spite of this, there is a great interest in our varied sports program." The DEAN'S CORNER By GEORGE ELLIOT, Acting Dean of Men ON BOWLING SCORES AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT Sunday evening the intra-mural bowling league commenced its operations at the Jewish Community Center. Since bowling is one of the most popular campus activities, it is worthy of comment by the Dean of Men. According to the dictionary a dean has something to do with such things as student discipline, academic probation, dismissal from school, etc. The above fact is strictly incidental information and is only used to pad out the column this week. Mr. Farrar and I have been encouraged to notice that some faint trace of leverage remains in our r· ht d · · bl ig arms ue to wntmg on ackboards and / or other social uses. It is a reasonable assumption . . that we can still bend over although we haven't " tried picking up a ball at the same time. We both agree that our body-english may not be pure AngloSaxon, but it is at least capable of translation. We have wiped clean our eye glasses. We expect a great season! We do hope that the alleys will be a little straighter and less warped than they were last year .. We have always suspected that the gutters are a few inches wider than the regulations allow.

BEACON PHOTO by Brothers THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT - Jim Ferris (left), the shortest man on the Colonel varsity basketball squad, offers an interesting contrast to 6'8" freshman center Dave Shales. Shales, former Westmoreland .cager, is expected to furnish a solution to the height problem· which has plag ued the Colonels , for man:y years. He is seeing action as a .res erve center this year. row night in New York against Yeshiva. The Colonels dumped Yeshiva at home last year and will be out to make it two in a row over Bernie Sarachek's Washingtqn Heights squad. Heading the list of veterans playing for Yeshiva this year is Irwin Blumenreich, 6'-4" forward who set the Mite's all-time scoring record last year with 513 points: Davis will probably delegate George Morgan to the problem of stopping him. Davis will continue to go with his first fiv e of Morgan, John Bres· nahan, Joe Jablonski, Jim Ferris and Carl Van Dyke. His big problem is to put new life into the de-. fense in order to make up for the height disadvantage he will face all year. At Rider, the Colonels were unable to hapg, OJ) to i'ln ,eight-pont · lead they held in the third period. Rider went ahead to sta y with two minutes to play. F erris and Bresnahan had 16 points each, Jablonski had 12 and Morgan 11. · The Colonels were able to cash in on only 17 fouls out of 34 attempts thus digging their own graves. Rider made 15 of 21. George Morgan tossed in 13 straight points in the final minutes against Ithaca to g ive the cag·e rs a successful hom e and season opener. The Plymouth center wound up with 25 for the night while neighbo r John Bresnahan had 21. These two and Joe Jablonski were outstanding on rebounds in this game. · However, the following night against Bloomsburg, the rebounds went the other way and the downcountry Huskies continued their mastery of the Colonels. Actually, Wilkes had a better shooting percentage against Bloomsburg than they did against Ithaca, but the Huskies controlled the boards on the smaller Teachers' court.

Merry Christmas? Merry Christmas with a vengeance! And Merry Christmas to you, too, Mr.Ford. . mas ***** The Back of the Hand It seems that we spoke too soon when we thought e few weeks back that there had been an improvement in the way hazing was administered this year. This business of ruining shirts at hazing events had not been brought to our attention at the time. But whether the action was an isolated incident in an othe~ise almost sensible hazing program is, we think, relatively unimportant What is important is the decision of the .Student Council in this matter. Last week the presumed representatives of the students voted to refuse responsibility in the case. Now both the Council and the hazing tribunal both hypothetically represent the students; yet here the tribunal. claiming with perhaps some justification, to have acted as a committee of the Council, declares that the responsibility for the action reverts to the Council, while the Council denies the action to have been within its jurisdiction. The decision of the Council leaves unanswered the main points of the whole controversy. WHO'S RESPONSmLE? If the tribunal is not an agent of the Council, and therefor of the students, under whose authority, then, does it carry out its activities? If the Council, and through it the student body, is not responsible for the acts of a body supposedly representing the students, just who is responsible for the whole affair? Are we to assume that the tribunal and the hazing program are then administered by groups responsible to no one? The Council decision, while no doubt justified, does not appear·perhaps the best of precedents. It leaves the question unsettled, its own responsibilities and those of groups acting in conjunction with undefined and open to arbitrary interpretation. If the students are represented by the Council in more than theory, it would seem that when injustices are alleged to have been commited in the name of the students the representatives of the students should make clear to what extent their auhority should be given to groups which may misuse or abuse it. This should, we feel. be a point made clear both to such groups and, since it is a matter of their authority, to the student body as well. It is too late to be squeamish after a wrong has been done; it might be more than a little helpful for the Council to show where it stands before any action using or pretending to use the authority of.. the student community is undertaken. Whether the Council recognizes it or not, by the very fact that it purports to represent the students, it is bound to make clear just what it feels it will permit its constituents - for the tribunal is as much composed of s\udents as the . Council - to do in thek own name. IF NOT ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, WHO? · Yet another question remains unsettled by the Council's decision last week. If the Council is not responsible for delegation of presumed authority to the tribunal that ran · hazing this year, who authorized it last yea.r? Or the year ~efore? Or to pegin with? Now it seems to us that few would senously a_ttempt to make these affairs appear spontaneous movements, with the possible exception of such of the hazing as is d<:>:11: by_ !ome of the dormitories. These annual pumped-up artific1ahties have almost always, we understand, had at l9?8t the tacit. approval of the representatives of the students. But if the Council m effect denies that it has any power over groups :"'hich apparently c3:eny their own responsibility, what guarantee is there· ~h~t the act1<;>ns of such groups purporting to act for the stude7:1ts is in fact d<;>mg their will? Maybe we've overlooked ~me~mg, but. we fail_~o see what obligation any minority has, m hght of the Councils decision to give anything but lip service to the welfare or reputation of the rest of the student community. - T.R.P. - WILKES COLLEGE -"" ·.

FRANCIS GALLIA, Biology: "The assemblies have always been interesting, but this semester they have been especially so. My favorite assembly was the one that featured the roving mike. Several such assemblies are a welcomed innovation." W ALTER PHILLIPS, Bus. Ad.: "I believe the selection of guest speakers is much better this year." GWEN E. JONES, Mus.

Radio and television committee 28 North Main Street consists of Norma Jean Davis, Edward McCafferty, Maryann Powell. THE . CHALLENGE OF THE SEASON _What is Christmas? What is Hanukkah? To the cynic it is primarily an end-of-the-season sales push given a certain unique and p_rofitable status by tinsel, by evergreens and by some incidental relationship to things religious. To the immature it is an opportunity to impress friends with one's generosity. The neurotic uses it to measure the amount of love and affection other people have for him. To the schoolboy it is vacation or term-paper t ime. To the party-goer, it is parties. To the salesman, it is influence peddling. It has elements· of the good, but it is not exactly good. It has elements of the bad, but it is not exactly bad. Along with its many religious overtones I have always felt that this season involves a deeper and more meaningful purpose. For a brief period man s·e ems no longer afraid or embarrassed to display sentiment and gentleness and affection for others. He seems suddenly and finally to notice the basic good rather than the obvious faults in human personality. People who have long stressed their individual rights become conscious of their responsibilities. Man's mask of indifference and of self-dependence appears to slip away, and he expresses a real identity and kinship with his fellow human beings. The takers, the doubters, the egocentrics of yesterday become the givers, the believers, the belongers of today. In this season it is as if man, in spite of all his past failures and mistakes, i~ being; given o?e more ch_ance to pro":e his basic worth and to ~eassocc1ate himself with human~t!· It 1s _his ch~nce to try once agam to reach toward the per~ec~abil~ty of_ which h~ 1s cap~ble. In ~ se~se the_re see!Ils to be . a stirring 1~to l~f~ and mto_ action of . the philosophies which underlie all of man s religions. _Behmd the obvious symbolism and sham there appears to glow so~e famt spark of human decency, a spark that could perhaps someday hght up the world. Taylor Caldwell once expressed this clue to man's potential greatness when she wrote, "Who knows but that the day will come when that eternal and holy stirring which lies even in the basest soul will not burst into universal light? For the sake of that hope we must have · h. p1•t Y, we must ·h ave mercy, we must h ave prayer an d h ope and f a1t We must have the long patience of God." In this sense I wish you a happy and prosperous holiday season : happy in the opportunity to once again reconsider the universe and your place in it, prosperous in the wealth and treasure you may someday discover within yourself. It's in lhe Bag ... for Christmas In the tradition of school newspapers the Beacon this year made inquiries through the hidden spirit to find the most needed things for individuals on campus and we now wish to publicly announce how the Christmas stockings of students and faculty should be filled.

This year's league also took time to get \l,nderway.:_for two reasons. (1) The JCC ·h ad not yet finished their building program. (2) Certain students thought it was smart to deface roster lists and it took time to find· out just who wanted to bowl - and still mistakes were made. · This year, ping po~g and volleyball have been added . .. Volley- •· ball had to wait until a fourth team entered the tournament. Ping pong rosters were scattered all over the campus and also were defaced. Now, we ask you, is this lack of organization or plain downright disinterest on the part of the majority of the student body? We understand that the same thing happened in football - it was difficult to find four teams. IT'S A STUDENT PROGRAM fu rthermore, intramurals are sanctioned and controlled by John Reese, but they are really a . student program. Each has a student director· and officials are drawn from student volunteers. If students dpn't ~ant to referee, th~re just won't be any referees. Kindly note the fact that Reese advertisecl for several weeks for student directors ·· · · · for volleyball and ping pong. Is this student inter est? May we add the interesting fact that the intramural bowling program, which has probably been the most successful student venture in the history of the school, st1,.u ted last year because · just two people expressed a desire to bo'fl and asked the rest of .!he student body t o bowl with them. This is student interest! Some people thought that student . intere.s t was increasing. Let's examine that. The basketball loop just about folded last year because only a couple of teams ever showed up for their game~. We'd be willing to bet right now that th·e sa1t1.e thing happens . this year. We have already mentioned the fact that volleyball was delayed until a fourth team was found. The once popular football league had only four teams this year.

It didn't help us much. The seniors did a whale of a job keeping the t eam together on the field . The loss of Howie Gross, Jarell Cashmere, Cliff Brautigan, Joe Wilk, Bob Masonis and Glenn Carey will leave a big gap in the t eam, but we· have 17 boys coming back next year to · fo r m a nucleus. .N ext year we hope to be playing the type of schedule we have been striving toward for quite a while · but those things ate not dorte overnight. I ·c an t ell you now that some improvements have been made, but it might take ,enother year before we get the slate erttirely to our liking; . . Without a doubt, we were outclassed in some gam·e s this past year. I don't b~lieve this will happen again. The new schedule plus the fact that we will have more experience on the squad next year sho.u ld return us to wiI)ning years. . · · You just can't keep losing when, you have fellows like Ronn ie Rescigno and Bill Farish in there trying so . hard to win. So, we had more than our share of tough luck this year, Yet, I don't think that any team we pl;iyed will say that Wilkes quit. •Give us our share of the breaks .next year and we'll be back to winning ways. Time could well be an important factor, but let 's face fa ct s. If you want to find time to do something, you can usually do it. Also, the intramural program recognizes that there are such things as classes · and exams. The director of each sport will .try to fit the schedule to suit the participants. If he doesn't, then get a new director because he isn't doing his job. Undoubtedly, some students have to stay out of sports entirely to stay in school - but not 75 or 80 percent. Just to t ie things together, we think that the coming basketball season is going to be a critical one as far as the intramural program is concerned. It could be that if the league is as bad as it was last year, this sport may be dropped from the .program. The same is true of :footbalJ.. This column will welcome all suggestions aimed at improving intramurals. Send them to us or John Reese and they will receive careful consideration. After all, that's part of our jobs.

Hofstra Has Problem The rest of the Dutchmen's lineup is a question mark, but John ·Wandell, out last year with an injury, will probably fill in at 123.

Three Foul Out The Davismen, who played the last five minutes without the services . of John Bresnahan, George Morgan and Carl Van Dyke due to fouls, were led by Bresnahan and Ferris with 18 each. Van Dyke added 15. Wilkes was once more poor from the foul line, sinking only 12 of 24 attempts. The loser.s made 26 of 38.

Jumpin' John Bresnahan Gains 'Player' Honors By CLIFF KOBLAND The weekly poll of Beacon sports writers, which starts ag-ain this week, gave John Bresnahan a large majority in being named "Athlete of the Week." · John Bresnahan _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ Ping Pong Tournament To Resume After Recess John, a familiar figure on both the basketball court and soccer field, received most of his votes for his 26 point scoring spree against Moravian Monday night. This is the highest point total for a Colonel in any game this year. The fact that he is one of the Blue and Gold "big men" places a large share of the rebounding and defensive chores on _h is shoulders, but never-the-less John has. found time to rack up his share of points in each game to date. Coach Ed Davis calls him a "ball hawk and good defensive man who is usually given the task of stopping the opposition's tough men." In the Moravian game which went into the books as a fourth straight loss for the Colonels, John dropp-e d 11 of 19 tries from the field and four straight free throws.

The latest feather in the cap of the CoJlege came with the announcement that the Regional Olympic Wrestling tryouts will be held here in mid-April. Announcement was made last week by John Drummond, chairman of the National Olympic By HELEN M. KRACHENFELS Wrestling Committee. The Student Council held its Student Council to Aid Scholarship Selection The disclosure was made at a time when the cheers had hardly subsided from the wrestling tournament held at Wilkes during the Christmas holidays, tabbed the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" by many sports writers. This year's tournament brought entrants from as far west as Michigan, south to Tennessee, and north into New England. · Mr. Drummond telegramed Mr. George Ralston, Dean of Men, now on leave to Columbia University to earn his doctorate, that the Olympic Regionals were slated to be held at Wilkes on April 13-14. In Mr. Ralston's absence Mr. Fran~ Walp, supervising principal of Forty Fort schools, will act as local director and coordinator. Mr. Walp announced he will meet with John Reese, Wilkes wrestling coach, and other faculty members in the Guidance Building on Monday to draw up detailed plans. H e said try-outs for both free style and Greco-Roman wrestling will be held. The tryout will be held in the Wilkes gymnasium and will draw the top scholastic wrestlers from the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. , Local officials stated that the reason for the choice of Wilkes lay partially in the great enthusiasm shown here four years ago when a benefit wrestling tournament was held to raise money for the Olympic Fund. Raymond Swartz of the U. S. Naval Academy and coach of the Olympic mat team that year praised Wilkes highly for its efforts in conducting and making the benefit show a success. regular bi-monthly meeting last Wednesday evening in the cafeteria. In addition to discussing the final arrangements for the Winter Carnival, several other matters were considered. Cliff Brothers, chairman of the Student Body Scholarship Committee reported .that the Administration has suggested that the Council committee be responsible for establishing policies for the granting of the scholarship and that machinery be set up whereby one or two Council representatives can sit with the Administrative Scholarship Committee when candidates for the scholarships are considered. Nancy Morris presented the Constitution of the Education Club for Council approval of some changes which have be.e n made in the past months. Approval was granted. Mr. Elliot, Student Council adviser, read a letter which he received from Hampton Institute requesting Wilkes' participation in a campus exchange program. They have invited a group of five Wilkes campus leaders (male) to visit their campus, and would like to send some of their students here. It was agreed that we extend an invitation for them to visit here on the weekend of April 26 and 27, and that we accept their invitation. Approval was granted for the sophomore class to hold a dance on February 3. Cliff Brothers was appointed chairman of a committee which will be established for the purpose of investigating various honor systems. Membership on this committee is voluntary and is op en to all interested students. HISTORY CLUB'S 'FINAL FLING' SQUARE DANCE AT GYM TONITE The Wilkes History Club holds its first dance tonight at 8 :30 in the College gym. Though the club's initial event, it's billed as "The Final Fling", since it's the last dance of the semester. The affair is another of the square dances that seem to be attracting more and more of a following among campus organizations in the habit of running social events to augment club treasuries. Abe Bellas ·a nd his crew are slated to provide music, with Bellas himself as caller. The dance goes on till midnight. General chairman oof the dance The Wilkes debaters are slated to go on the road tomorrow for the first time this year. Saturday's event will be the Bucknell "Good Neighbor'' tournament, rescheduled from a few weeks back. The Bucknell tournament, postponed from December 9, is the first in a series of title defenses for the debaters, who took the tourney last season. In addition to the Bucknell debate last year, Wilkes also took first speaker honors, as J. Harold Flannery Jr. took the top debater award. Speakers at the Bucknell contest tomorrow will be John Bucholtz, Virginia Brehm, Fred Roberts, and Jesse Choper. Bucholtz won two ratings of "superior" in the Temple Novice tournament earlier this season. Roberts was also awarded a "superior" rating in one event at Temple. The local team will argue both sides of the question of extention of the Guaranteed Annual Wage to all non-agricultural industries. E1·senhower Culs ·v1·c10.ry Cha·n.ces If Nixon is.

Theta Delta Rho Offers First Post Exam Dance By MARY LOUISE ONUFER Theta Delta Rho will present the perfect ending to the examination period by sponsoring a sport dance in the college gymnasium on the evening of anuary 24. Bernice Thomas, president of TDR, has asked students to break the strain so prevalent during the examination period by coming to the gymnasium to dance, meet friends, and relax with the assurance that "tomorrow there will be nothing to do." Music for the 9 to 12 dancing will be provided by the local union of the American Federation of Musicians. An intermission entertainment program is being planned and the usual soft drink refreshments will be served. A fifty cent donation will be accepted. The sorority has alw,ays managed it finances wisely and plans to use the proceeds from the dance to expand its charitable work and to add to the TDR Scholarship Fund. During the Christmas season the sorority used a portion of the money in its treasury to purchase gifts for the children in the General and Wyoming Valley Hospitals. Miss Thomas has appointed the following committees: Mary West, general chairman; Virginia Brehm, decorations; Pat Kennedy, tickets; Carol Hallas, refreshments. JUNIOR CLASS A,P POINTS PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Larry Amdur, President of the junior class, recently appointed a permanent publicity committee for the purpose of informing the student body of the activities of the class. The date - Thursday, January 26 from 11 to 11 (that is a.m. to p.m.) The place - Karlsruhe, the fabulous Stegmaier Estate, now functioning as one of the finest recreation spots - winter or summer in the Pocono resort area, known and widely advertised as El Pocono Dude Ranch. In addition to the more vigorous outdoor sports mentioned, horseback riding, hiking, and snowballing (weather permitting) will provide fun for all. There will also be the usual indoor activities games, group singing, television, and, of course, eating around the clock from 11 to 11. A majority of the students will probably pack picnic lunches although everything from a hamburg to a steak dinner will be available for those with the appetite and the means.) Dancing from 8 to 11 to the romantic strains of the Blue Danube on the one hand, and to the jarring strains of Rock 'n' Roll on the othe.r, will provide the highlight to the day's events. Since there will be no buses available, students with cars are urged to meet in front of Chase at 11. Caravans to the resort will be formed. This fine affair which promises to stand out from anything of its kind put on by the college in many years is sponsored by the Student Council. Helen Krachenfels is chairman. There is no expense involved to any student except that he must, of course, provide his own food. Obviously, use of special equipment such as skis, rented .skates, and horses are not covered in this. Let's join to make this a day to be remembered! WILKES TO OFFER FOUR-YEAR COURSE IN ART EDUCATION By JANICE SCHUSTER Wilkes College will again expand its ever growing fi elds of study in the fall of this vear with the introduction of a fo~r -year program in Art Education, it was announced by Dr . Eugene S. Farley, coll ege president. Dr. Farley stat ed the program has been approved by the Administrative Council, the Instruction Coun cil of the Board of Trustees, and the State Council on Education. The Board of Trust ees has not yet approved the Art Education program but it is not expected that thi s body will raise the only opposing vote. Dr. Farley stated that a depart- mcnt head for the new School of Art has not been decided upon. He revealed however that Mr. Catha! O'Toole will teach the subjects directly related to art and that another person or persons will be acquired to teach the educational phase of the program. The. new school of study will lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Art Education. It will be patterned after t h e successful School of Music, and in which students will have the opportunity of acquiring a broad general education along with the specialization in Art. Minimum requirements will ha ve to be met in the humaniti es, the social sciences, science and the fr ee electives. �2 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Here We Are Again ~his is the first Beacon of the New Year. It begins for 1956 ~ senes ?f newspapers we hope will prove a constructive, positive service to our readers, more so, if possible, than the Beacons preceding it this Fall. · LOOKING BACK ... . What we've tried to do within the past few months has been to give ~he students here a publication leaning heavily to straight news-i.e., news as news, news as it happens-presentations of events at or about the Colleg·e . We have endeavored to balance this whenever possible with features requiring more than a purely factual, telegraphic treatment; in short, we have tried to put in as much service for both the reader-in-a-hurry and the casual reader as possible. · Our editorial policy has endeavored to be as moderate, as "hand~ off", as disinterested as possible. When controversy has ansen, we have attempted to pursue a conservative middleof-the-road path, with as fair a hearing for both sides of the question as human frailty will allow. ... AND AHEAD At any rate, the Beacon is back for another year, and conservative or liberal, reactionary or radical, we trust that it and future Beacons will continue to operate with the principle in mind that its duty and responsibility lies toward its readers and toward the community of which they and the Co,llege are a part.

By ED McCAFFERTY This month should appeal to all men on campus. It gives the lazy men a chance to look ambitious and t he ambitious men an opportunity to be lazy. The lazy men - Wilkes College males who are Jax about shaving - can grow beards under the pretense that they are competing for th e trophy presented to the hairi est ape by the Sophomore Class, sponsors of Wilkes College Beard Month. Ambitious men merely need to respond to the call of arms, lay down their razors, and hope to out-beard their rivals. The sophomores will award a trophy to t he person who has the best com bination of beard and mustache. Medals will be awarded for the bushiest beard, mostest mustache, and fuzziest peach fuzz. The trophy will have the winner's name on it and will be placed on display in the cafeteria. The Sophomore Class intends to make t his affair an annual event. Everyone, faculty members as well as students and females as well as males, is invited to enter this contest. The contest will culminate at the Sophomore Class dance on February 3. At this ro und and square dance, Dan Flood will do the judging and present the awards. This contest will undoubtedly increase school spirit, make the girls appreciate their fellows when they present their smiling, clean-shaven faces in school the next day, and will put Gillette back in business. Senior Class 'Interlude'· Scheduled January 28. Plans are being completed for a Senior Class Dance which will be held at the Wilkes Gym on Satu rday, Januar y 28. The sport dance, tagged th e "Interlude", promises to be one of the highlights of th e busy week between semesters. Music will be furnished by Bill Figart's combo , with intermission entertainm ent under the direction of Jim Jones. Co-chairmen of t he affair, P earl Onacko and Al Rosenberg have chosen the fo ll owing committee chairmen: Dick Carpenter, tickets; Mollie Beard, Connie Kamarunas , publicity; Mickey Perlmuth, Cliff Brautigan, orchestra; Jim Jones, entertainment; Jeannette P errins, Nancy Beam, invitations; Sylvia Bator, Leah Jean Neuberger, refreshments; Geri Kolotelo, chaperones. Tickets, priced at fifty cents, will soon be on sale. Proceeds from the affair will go toward a senior class gift to the college.

I REYNOLDS co PS Ho No RS AS WEEK'S BE s J AT HLE J E By CLIFF KOBLAND Don Reynolds, a quiet, young man of 130 odd pounds, seems to have a split personality. Around campus, Don is as nice and easy going guy as you would like to meet. But put Don into a wrestling uniform . and you will see a complete change. For the even tempered young man turns into a "tiger". This tiger instinct in Don is one of the main reasons why h e is unbeaten in three matches this season and why he was this week's unanimous choice for Player Of The Week. Don, who won a high school l etter at Hanover Township in wrestling, has been one of the main reasons fo r the team's success this season. The junior grappler has won two bouts by pins and one by default for a total of 15 points. The nati ve of Warrior Run started the Colonels on their winning ways over Swarthmore by pinning his opponent in 1 :45 of the match. In the Blue and Gold's big upset win over Hofstra, Reynolds won by a forfeit. And in last Saturday's win over CCNY, the 147 pound political science major started Wilkes on the road to triumph by ~,m pinning his opponent in 1 :25 of the bout. Don is being counted on by Coach John Reese to carry Wilkes on to a winning season. And the way this boy has started off h e may well do just that. iiliilllilllXX Chuck Robbins - SPORTING GOODS 28 North Main Street All teams in the loop have now dropped at least one point. In the top match of the night, the Ghost Riders had to roll a big third game to take three from the surprising Mighty Mites.

Joe Popple, 7vlighty Mites, racked up a 214-487, while Dick Morris paced the winners with 194-504.

That, at least, is how it ought to be; whether that is how it was last Thursday might be another question. To all appearances, the group at the affair last week was the usual minority that seems to dominate and monopolize so many of the campus social events. In short, the group was hardly representative of the average student on campus. WHO BENEFITS? The Carnival is financed by the Student Activities Fund a fund utilizing the money of all the students - and is hence supposedly for the benefit of at least the majority, if not all of the students. Unhappily, it all too frequently appears that most of such benefits are reaped by the comparative few, by small groups of imitation aristocrats and ill-mannered oafs who seem to over-dominate most affairs, and last week's Carnival was a classic illustration of the situation. Quite evident at the Carnival were many of the pseudoaristocrats, ·a few of the generally arrogant, and all too few of the ordinary, run-of-the-campus students. It is unfortunate that such a situation has arisen. The fault lies not in the Student Council. Unluckily, the problem is not one that can be thus lightly and conveniently dropped on the shoulders of elected representatives. Rather, the problem goes beyond mere political bounds. A GROWING PROBLEM The situation so bluntly spotlighted by last week's affair 'is one that has been slowly growing over the past few years. It has been more or less fashionable of late to ignore the growing separation between ordinary students and those who style themselves campus Leaders, but when the problem begins to reach the point where they and another ill-mannered few begin to dominate affairs beyond the bounds of reason and propriety, then it seems about time that someone stopped to look at just what these people are doing. Certainly, what has been going on of late is hardly to the benefit of the student body as a whole; neither has it provided an accurate reflection of their attitudes when the actions of these minorities have been visible to the community. The problem, then, is not a comparatively simple one to be solved by Council resolutions or other political action - it is rather a social one, one the students must recognize and solve by themselves. Hahnemann Hosp. Medical S c h o oI Accepts Lucchino David B. Lucchino, senior Biology student, learned last Friday that he has been accepted for the Hahnemann Hospital School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pa. In a letter from the school, Lucchino was informed that he has, satisfactorily m et the requirements for entrance and will be admitted in September of this year. Lucchino is the president of the Wilkes College Biology Club, an organization in which he has been active for some time. He is also a member of the Senior Council, representing the scientists of his class, and has been active in intramural s-p orts for the past two years. Lucchino's acceptance marks another step towa\·d the fulfillment of his lifelong ambition-a career in medicine. He has not decided on a specialty as yet, but feels that it may be surgery. The son of Mr. and Mrs. David S. Lucchino of 229 Barney Street, Wilkes-Barre, Lucchino is a 195~ graduate of Meyers High School.

Representative possible. Student Council Letters lo the Editor Dear Editor: Les Weiner, in the last Beacon issue, said in his letter to the editor, "I and my associates considered this a ct unreasonable," etc. This implies that all of his associates on the Student Council agreed with him on an issue concerning an article of clothing which was harmed during and as a result of fre shman hazing. This is not ,t rue. I am taking issue, not with whether a given act is considered unreasonable, but rather L es' position (and nearly all of the Student Council's) that w e, on the Student Council, need not be concerned by the small problem of setting precedents. What it actually amounts to is a personal opinion based upon one's own philosophy of student government. One needs to decide whether a decision based on a n earlier incident would be a fair instrument by which to make a decision on a lat er similar incident. To be more specific, would or would not the decision that it is unreasonable to put green dye on someone's hair, help the council make a decision in the futur e as to whether it is unreasonable to smear someone's fa ce with lipstick or to cause them to carry their books in pails. If you accept this a s so, then you have admitted that hazing is unrea sonable. Well, the Student Council did say that it was unreasonable to put green dye on someone's hair, and conveniently forgot all · the other "reasonabl~" acts that a:re common to hazing. L~s excused the Student Council for this by saying that because we are not a court of law, and because everyone on · the Student Council has common._sense, and because we have a constitution, ·we do not need the help ·of past decisions by which to guide us in making future ones.
