I. Myers The Wilkes College debating team walked off with third place honors in the Johns Hopkins Invitational debating tournament in Baltimore last weekend. _Jn the semi-finals a strong St. Peters team narrowly edged out the Wilkes duo of Jesse Choper and John Bucholtz to go into the finals against Princeton. The ever-effective Princeton team beat St. Peter's in the finals to gain their second win in three years. Princeton finished second to Wilkes last year. The Wilkes team captured the third place trophy in the competition, which included 28 of the top schools in debate circles. The final round matched St. Peter's and WHkes. In a tightly contested match, the St. Peter's team, which finished second, defeat- ed Wilkes, 4'8·-47. Wilkes scor ed victories over St. Joseph's, Bridgewater, William and Mary, Notre Dame College for Women, and Brooklyn College. Some of the other leading schools which participated are U. ·of Pennsylvania, Boston, Pittsburgh U., (continued on page 6) Dr. Eugene L. Hammer returned to the campus today after spending the week in Lewisburg, P ennsylvania, as a member of a Middle States Evaluation Committee which examined Lewisburg High School. Dr. Hammer, head of th e education department at Wilkes, was asked by the chairman of the Mi9dle States Com mittee to serve as a roving moderator and coordinator at Lewisburg. He worked with several groups of evaluators insuring that all courses at the high school were examined and graded on an equal level. In Dr. Hammer's absence, his adva nced classes in Education met with Mr. Francis E. Truscott, principal of Coughlin High School. The classes conducted a mock MSA evaluation similar to the one Dr. Hammer was engaged in. by Janice Schuster Wilkes College freshmen a re growing up. In fact, one has proved to possess more masculinity than any other male on campus. He is Bill Stewart, first-prize winner of the sophomore sponsored beard contest which culminated at the class' hoedown last F riday night. Another freshman, Al Jones, added another feat her to the froshs' <links when he walked off with the second prize for g rowing the best beard. Ho wever, the sophomores, who ran the contest, couldn't be slighted either. Two of their class representatives gained possession of the third and fourth prizes, one for the best mustache and the other for the nicest peach-fuzz. Judges for the affair, Congressman Dan Flood, TV entertainer Hal Berg, and Wilkes' own Bob Moran, leader of the Coll ege band, did not have too much difficulty deciding who had the best combination when they selected Stewart, since his growth was by far the most unruly. Al Jones came out on top even though he had very close competition with Larry Groninger, Fred Kroh!e, and Cliff Brothers. The most difficult decision for the judges came when they had to select the best mustache, inasmuch' as practically every mustache contestant was worthy of a prize. The large crowd in attendance was very t ense waiting to hear the announcement which finally revealed that the judges had chosen Mulcahy. Mulcahy provided atmosphere to the dance by wearing his hair in the style popular in the days of the famous barber shop quartettes, namely with a center part. Only Puma was able to out-do him by wearing a bright and fancy yellow vest and a shoestring-style bow tie. The beard contest was not the only feature of the dance, for the sophs had composed their own beard song which was s ung by Ted Jones, Dave Vann, John Stahl, all sophomores . By winning the contest, Stewart has gained possession of a solid metal beer mug and he will immortaliz e the masculinity of Wilkes College for his name has been engraved on the trophy, the coveted object for which the contestants vied. The contest will be a tradition with the Class of 1958 and each year the winner of the contest will have his name engraved on the trophy µnder that of Stewart's. �2 Friday, February 10, 1956 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- Two Down ... Behind the Scenes By JOHN KUSHNERICK The DEAN'S CORNER On page three of this week's Beacon the reader will find a section devoted to photographs of the recent Winter Carnival. This is the second of such extensive photographic coverages of campus events. First in the series was in the issue of December 16, which dealt with the annual Lettermen's Christmas Formal. These pictorial sections are designed to give an opportunity for those who missed the events illustrated to see what happened, as well as to benefit those who were able to attend.

Although they led by only 2 points at half time, their attack started clicking in the third and fourth quarters to give them a 50 to 31 win over the Yankees. Gendall, Lane, and Wea ver with 13, 12, and 10 points r espectively paced their team to the victory. No one on the Yankee t eam was able to score in double figures. In one of the other games the Crew Cuts looked like a different team as they won their game from the EP ARS, 69 to 52. Their full court press earned them a 21 point half time lead, which was too great a deficit for the EP ARS to overcome. A full bench enabled them to maintain a faster pace, with rested players, than the EPARS who were forced to substitute sparingly. Bill Tremayne was high scorer in the game with 23 points. Rahl, Allen, and Pavlick did the bulk of the scoring for the Crew Cuts. The Globetrotters, who drew a bye in last week's competition, lost to W eckesser in the third game. Poor first and fourth qua-rters, in which they amassed only twelve points contributed to their downfall. first part of the twin-bill, are eager to get back on the winning track after last week's mortifying debacle with Bloomsburg. John Reese is planning a slight adjustment in his lineup to meet Ithaca strength. Bob Masonis, usually in the heavyweight class, has been busy all week shedding some 30 pounds in order to make the limit for the 177-pound clas. If the need occurs, Neil Dadurka will wrestle heavyweight. Don Reynolds is nu-rsing an arm infection which shouldn't hamper the "Tiger" in his 137-pound bout. The rest of the matmen are in good shape. Ithaca has won only one match while losing four, but have always been trnublesome in the past. Rebuilding this year, the Bombers have met some of the best wrestling schools in the east. Their only win came over East Stroudsburg, who also fell before the Colonels. Bloom Here Again The cagers face Bloomsbur.g in what stacks up as a poss,i ble blood match due to the hectic wrestling match between the two hist Saturday. Otherwise, Bloomsburg will bring a team to town which ranks fourth in the Teachers •College Conference. The Huskies will have two of the best scorers in the C<mference in their lineup in Len Kozick and Keith Weiser. Kozick, a Dallas boy, r anks third in the conference in scoring, while Weiser is fifth. Their rebounding strength lies with Harrison Morson, a 220-pound linebacker in football. The Colonels will be trying to avenge a defeat suffered earlier in the season to the same Huskies team at Bloomsbur,g . Davis will . go with his starting lineup. of George Morgan, John Bresnahan,· Carl Van Dyke, Joe Jablonski, and Jim F erris. In the tilt at Bloom, the Colonels had one of their worst nights of the year, but should be a different outfit at home with the . incentive involved. Students are reminded that they can take another person into the twin-bill on activities passes. The lettermen have promised to maike this Booster Night something to be remembered.

Even though his team beat the Huskies, Rupp informed Reese that he is doing some investigation which will show that Cawthern attended classes at Millersville and thus, would be ineligible. At least some of the Statesupported schools believe in playing it square. The clincher came Saturday afternoon when a young lady called "The Sunday Independent" office and inquired about Cawthe'rn's. match with Jim Ward. She was led into making a statement that Cawthern did attend Millersville la-st year and had entered Bloom in September. The young lady was Cawthern's true love. THE OTHER FRACAS The same article in the "Enterprise" also had something to say about the forfeit which caused Don Reynold's first loss of the year. "Blair (the Bloom coach) refused Beilharz to continue without a doctor's check-up. Yesterday it was reported that Beilharz still could not lift his right arm high and that he was scheduled for x-ray examination today." Today would mean Monday. Let's examine this quickly. First of all, Beilharz was heard to plainly tell the coach that he was OK and wanted to continue. Time would never have been taken out if Wilkes coach John Reese had not suggested it. Finally, if this boy was hurt so severely, why did . they wait until Monday to take x-rays. The injury occurred at about 2 :30 Saturday afternoon, and the effects were evidently felt in time to prevent the boy from continuing. Oh yes, the Bloom story in the "Enterprise" said that Beilharz could not lift his right arm very high. This is all very good. Maybe he can't. But the hold that was called illegal was on the left arm! Maybe it was a misprint. THE BIG SHOW The fact that Bloomsburg's basketball team is on the card for Saturday night's big double-header should make it an interesting evening. Reports from down the line indicate that just about the entire Teachers' campus is going to be here as a result of the hectic wrestling match last Saturday. Now, if there are more Bloom rooters in the stands than Wilkes, it is going to make us look mighty silly indeed. The truth is that there were more people rooting for the Bloom grapplers last Saturday than for Wilkes. The showing of the dorm students at the Lafayette game was very heartening to the players and the press. We can't remember the night when there was so much noise at a Wilkes athletic event. It was fun and it was encouraging. However, if 90 percent of the dorm students can get out for a game, why can't 50 percent of the day students ? If this twin bill falls through after it was designated as a "booster night," then we might just as well play all our games on the road. The attraction is a natural. The slate has Ithaca against our matmen; and Bloomsburg in another Wilkes Colle~e appearance which could ' ·····- into a grudge match. Ithaca is rated as the second best team on the Wilkes mat schedule and the grapplers are still burning over last Saturday's mess. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 6 DEBATERS PLACE (continued from pag& ll Smlith College Poll Finds ..... 83% Favor Honor System Friday, February 10, 1956 Touring the Clubs n ew officer s of their F .T.A.

Serving under Moser on the committee will be Waren Glass, Bill Duffy, ,Patricia Yo st, Elaine Williams, Alice Milligan, and Marion Klawonn . Ernst and Lorrie Walfisch re- turned to the Wilkes College auditorium Tuesday for their annual viola-piano recital. The Walfisches have recently returned from a concert totrr in Europe where they appeared at the summer music festival at Prague. Mr. Walfisch is a violist and is accompanied by his wife at the piano. Their -f irst selection was a Sonata by Johann Sebastian Bach in four parts. Mrs. W alfisch commented on the fact that, contradictory to popular belief, Bach's music is not highbrow and unaccessable but can be most inspiring and entertaining. For their second selection the Walfisches chose Minuet and Allegro in two parts by Joseph Haydn. Since 1956 marks the 100th birthday of Robert Schumann, the Walfisches played his "Adagio and Allegro". This seemed to be more. enjoyable to the audience than the previous selections . The next piece was Intermezzo from an opera by Spanish composer Granadis. This was an extremely lovely composition. In memory of Georges Enesco, the famous violinist who died last year, the Walfisches played his "Concert piece for Viola and Piano." However, time ran out on the duo before they fimshed this selection and they concluded with "Green Sleeves", the English folk song traditionally said to have been composed by Alan a Dale, one of Robin Hood's followers. The selections ranged from the strict classical type to ro mantic and modern music. The Walfisches seem ed to be so engrossed in their music that much pleasure could be gained from watching their enjoyment.

A ccor d'mg to t h e program set up by the executive council of the class, each class member will be taxed one dollar per semester throughout his remaining years •at the college. However, acceptance or rejection of the plan will be left entirely to the class when they vcte for or against it early this spring. Money will be put in a fund called "The Class of 1958 Memorial Fund" and will be used for multiple purposes. It is anticipated that the plan may eventually result in a room of a building or,.even a building. It . may also be used to help future Wilkes College students through scholarship grants. As alumni, the present sophomores will always make their contributions to this particular fund rather than to a general fund. The members of the class will always · h ow t h e have the power to decide accumulated savings will be used. Administration Will Help The college administration has agreed to help in the project by doing the paper and clerical work. The bill of each sophomore will be increased by one dollar each semester and at the end of the semester, with the administrati, n presenting the class with an accurate account of the money iu the fund. Each sophomore is urged to give considerable thought to the plan and to consult class officers or members of the executive council to answer any question con.::erning the program or to contribute helpful advice or criticism on the p1:ogram. One advantage of the fund, pointed out by Alumni Secretary Picton, is that the fund . will continue in existence as long as there is one surviving member of the class. While results of the fund might not be spectacular in the more immediate futur e, he explained, it would be upon such small beginnings that an effC'ctive and substantial Alumni fund ,vould eventually be built. After graduation of the cla ss, solicitation of the fund would be handled by the Alumni office in con junction with the class ot'ficers, and with the money used a s specifie d by the class rather than the administration. Both Wilkes and King's won four and lost two, both were awarded similar trophies, although Wilkes had the hig her point total. This was due to a difference of interpretation of the classification "novice". Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, Wilkes debate coach, interpreted "novice" to be a first-y ear debater, while the other view was that a "novice" would be one who had not participated in varsity competition. The question was equitably resolved by judging the contest a tie instead of counting Wilkes the winner on points, as would _ otherwise have happened. The Wilkes no vice team was composed of Tom Lally, Bruce Warshal, Seymour Holtzman and Fred Roberts. Roberts, who was first speaker of the tournament, on the basis of being first speaker in each of his three debates, was the hub of the controversy, since, althougl:.. a freshman, he has debated in varsity competition. Wilkes defeated Scranton and King's, then Misericordia twice for its four wins, lost to Marywood. Misericordia, Scranton, and Marywood each had two teams in the competition, making a total of eight t eams. Warshal and Roberts were outstanding for the Wilkes team, debating second affirmative and second negative, respectively. Warshal was rated superior in every round and had the highest point total of the 32 participants, earning 79 out of a possible 90 points. Roberts, with two superior ratings in three rounds and 76 points, was a close second. It was the second successive week in which Wilkes debate teams have brought home trophies. At the ohns Hopkins Tourney, February 5, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper took the third place trophy, were edged out by Princeton in competition with 28 of the leading colleges and universities in the East. The first-place trophy won last week, the Noel Chabanel A ward, is in the form of a hardwood gavel emblazened with a sterling silver plate. It is the twelfth trophy won by Wilkes debaters in the last two seasons, even though the present season is less than half completed. Wilkes t ea ms are scheduled to enter at least six more tournaments, the next being the Boston University Invitation Tournament, February 24-25, which draws about 30 of the nation's leading teams every year. Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, who is vice president of the Debating Association of Pensylvania Colleges, picks Choper and Bucholtz to represent Wilkes at t his important tourney. Warshal also will compete there in an oratory event with a n original oration on Israel. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS- I The REPRESENTATIVES OF INDUSTRY TO VISIT "Any Report of My Death ..."

FOUR MORRISES STUDY AT WC council of the club. Somebody's Thinking Again We see that the Inter-Dormitory Council has appointed a committee to better acquaint incoming dormitory students with the College next September. The committee hopes to introduce the freshmen to the campus next Fall with a series of social events to run in conjunction with those that run normally as part of the orientation program. It used to be that the dormitories took most of the blame (deserved or not) for the annual asininity that usually is connected with hazing around here, and it's another step forward for the College 'when they help quash that stigma with a constructive program thought out ahead of time. The appointment and plans of the committee go to show that, despite those who reduce the Fall season at the College to a round of high school pranks, these things can be handled rationally. TDR To Hold Holiday Tea Theta Delta Rho will sponsor its annual Washington Day Tea on Wednesday from 3 to 5 P.M. in McClintock Hall. The purpose of the social event is to acquaint girls from many of the local high schools with life at Wilkes College. The women of T.D.R. will help the high school girls by acting as hostesses. Mrs. John Doane, Dean of Women, will be present to greet the girls and will give a brief talk on "college life". Campus tours will be organiized and con_ducted so that the guests will see all the interesting places on campus. General chairman of the affair is Nancy Morris. She has chosen the following committee chairmen: Mary West, food; Ruth Younger, hostess; Patricia Reese, invitations; Germaine Astolphi, campus tours ; Rita Matescilla, house committee; Emma Minemier, clean-up. - WILKES COLLEGE - Beacon A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Science Students Plan For Temple Conference by Jerome Stein Preparations are now being made by the Biology and Chemistry departments to attend the Tenth Annual Eastern Colleges Science Conference. Members from both departments will journey to Temple University in April to participate . in this affair. The Eastern Colleges Science Conference, organized at Vassar College in 194'7,, was designed to stimulate interest in research among undergraduate students in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology. The conference, held each Spring, invites colleges of the eastern United States and Canada. It affords opportunities for the students of these schools to exchange ideas and to discuss contemporary and traditional scientific problems. Students present original research papers ·and participate in discus-sions concerning new developments in their respective fields. This year, the Conference will be held at Temple University in Philadelphia on AprH 6 and 7. About thirty representatives are expected to attend. Last year, the conference was held at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N. J., at which about twenty-five representatives from Wilkes attended . Wilkes was one out of seventy-nine participating colleges. Highlights of the Conference included research papers, talks by guest speakers, tours o.f various scientific centers, and a banquet-dance f o r participating m embers. ' Similar highlights are expected this year. Washington took the hurricane in stride. After all, it is used to big winds. :~.~ f~(~ :':tt The Morrises of Forty Fort, all four of them Wilkes students, are being billed as one of the most educated families anywhere in the Valley.

Another King and Queen of Hearts were crowned at the Theta Delta Rho semi-formal last Friday night. The Queen, chosen by a drawing of numbered ticket stubs, was Miss Joyce Fink; the King, h e r escort, Ronnie Tremayne, Wilkes sophomore. The royal couple was chosen during intermission ceremonies. Miss Fink was crowned with a coronet of yellow roses by the sorority president, Bernice Thomas. The Queen was also presented with a large bouquet of red roses and many gifts donated by local merchants. The King and Queen danced the first dance after intermission to the music of Frankie Reynold's orchestra. The crowning ceremonies took place midst decorations in a Valentine motif. The canopy was pink and blue, accented by a backdrop of dark blue with a striking white tree bedecked with red hearts. Nosegays of red roses surrounded by lace doilies were the table fa. vors. The escorts were given Wilkes College ball-point pens as mementoesof the dance. Dr. and Mrs. Doane headed the receiving line, which included Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moran, dance chairman Geri Kolotelo and her escort, Howard Griss, TDR President Bernice Thomas, and her escort, Jim Benson. Taking a breather between dances are Joseph Ungvarsky, Mary Zavatski, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Zavada, Harry Ennis and Gwen Jones. CARPENTER RESIGNS THE MAN WHO READ AS CHEM CLUB HEAD; OVER 15 0 BEACONS UTRIAS NEW PREXY ENJOYED ALL OF THEM After leading the Wilkes College Chemical Society for the past year, Dick Carpenter has resigned for personal reasons, and Monica Utrias, the Club's vice-president from McClintock Hall, moves into the top position in the organization. The vacancy thus left in the vicepresident's office will be filled by an election this week. In other Bio Club administrative matters, Frank Lutinski, Plymouth junior, has been chosen to represent his class on the Club's executive council. Last week the club members viewed a sound film, produced by Shell Oil Company, depicting the many and varied products obtained from petroleum. Another is scheduled for next week, tentatively at noon Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and will be a three-part story of "Corrosion in Action". The chemists are busily preparing for their part in the forthcoming Science Show on March 2 and 3. The scheme involves an Industries Pageant, with an exhibit o.f such products as plastics and textiles, and also the demonstration of several experiments in physical and other branches of chemistry. Immediately after the show, the· members of the club will commence work on the "ACS Meeting in Miniature" of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Chemical In his four-year stay at Wilkes the average senior has seen quite a few Beacons come and go, some of them he has read, some he has skimmed over and some he has passed by. He has that choice. In th e mechanical department of the Beacon, however, is a man who has read every word of every Beacon including headlines and ads, for the past five years. He has no choice .. .. This fellow who some of us might be inclined to pity is not desirous of our sympathy, he enjoys reading the Beacon and usually looks forward to a new issue before the ink is dry on an issue rolling from the presses. The man is Ed Schmidt, and he can usually be found smilingly peering up from the linotype at Schmidt's Printery, greeting all Society, composed of delegates from the comparable groups of the colleges in the vicinity. This scholarly gathering will witness the presentation of papers by st u d en ts of the participating schools. Further ahead in the plans of the Chemistry Club are the big Eastern Intercollegiate Science Confere nce at Temple University in April and a joint outing in Ma y with our fellow chemists of Misericordia, King's, and Scranton. who enter. Ed estimates he has read about 155 ·B eacons. He has worked with 5 different editors and has come through it all with his perpetual smile. The editors at Wilkes can't be such a bad lot after all. Every piece of copy written by Beacon reporters passes through the hands of Ed. He reads it, out on the linotype keyboard (similar to typewriting) and then rereads copy that proof readers have marked for mistakes. Helpful, personable Ed will tell you matter-of-factly he enjoys knowing what is going on at Wilkes. He thinks the school's amateur jounalists have come up with some good copy over the years and the editors have been able to put it all together in some attractive, eye-catching formats. In addition, he boasts that the editors, through their few years on the staff, receive advanced technical training because of their time spent on-the-job in the mechanical department. It's training which the average journalism student doesn't receive. Ed's knowledge of the doings at Wilkes does not end with the Beason. He also reads and sets copy for football programs, basketball iformation, school brochures, and the "Alumnus". Think about it if you haven't already .... Printers are pretty-well informed people, and especially Ed Schmidt about Wilkes College, si nce he reads almost every word of printed matter that the College produces. Chosen as this year's King and Queen of Hearts were Joyce Fink, Nanticoke, and her escort, Ronnie Tremayne, Nanticoke. Selection of the royal pair was made during intermission. LIBRARY RECEIVES MUSIC AND FINE ARTS AW ARD The Association of College and Reference Libraries, acting for the United States Steel Foundation, Inc., forwarded a check for $300 to the library of Wilkes College for purchase of books in Music and Fine Arts. This gift is the result of a questionnaire sent to the library. Over 400 colleges competed and only 20 percent were chosen, among them Wilkes College.

With a winning season already wrapped up, the Colonels by Cliff Kobland The Wilkes cagers move to Williamsport, Pa. tomorrow night to engage the Warriors of Lycoming College for the second meeting of the season between the two schools. Earlier this season, Wilkes beat the Warriors in the local gym by the score, 91-79. The Colonels will be looking for win number one ·on the road again after suffering 10 defats away from home. Lycoming will be trying to even up the series after suffering a bad defeat last time these two clubs met. In the last meeting, ~Big' George Morgan was the big gun for the Blue and Gold with 24 points. Carl Van Dyke, certainly one of the most outstanding guards in Eastern Pennsylvania Colleges, scored 19 points. The big gun for the Warriors not only in the Wilkes clash but against all other Lycoming opponents is a 6-1 forward by the name of Al Wilson. He scored 36 points against Wilkes last time and will be the man the Colonels have to stop to beat the Warriors again. As in most of the previous games, this date the Colonels will have to be the smaller club on the floor. Although Lycoming does not have such a great height advantage as did some of the other Blue and Gold opponents. But as it was shown in the last game between these two schools, the Colonels can still hold their own with taller opponents when it comes to rebounding. In the last game, Wilkes hit an amazing 80 percent from the free throw line. From the floor, in the last meeting with the Warriors, Lycoming clogged the middle so Wilkes hit from the outside. When Lycoming would come out and press them, Wilkes would drive. All in all, it was one of the best games of the year for the Colonels and they hope they can repeat.

Hutchison , retired county agricultural agent, spoke to members of the Biology Club Tuesday night, in the Lecture Hall, on the "Farmers' Problem from the Effect of Insects". Mr. Hutchison, who retired last year after 35 years as a county agent, brought the grim realities of pest control to light for the biologists. The insecticides referred to as "wonder bug killers" in our modern era often create more probl ems for the farmer than they solve because they kill off the natural e nemies of many insects while the y are removing from existence the one pest being aimed at. Mr. Hutchison stated one instance in the county where a total of 14 insecticides was required to do a particular job. An ever pre.s ent problem, Mr. Hutchison added, is that insects seem to build up a resistance to various poisons after a very short time. The farmer therefor e, must begin to think in terms of a n ew insecticide not very long after he finds one that will solve the probl em at hand. He knows the problem will soon recur. Because of the increasing technicalities in farming the good farmer of today must be an entomologist, chemist, biologist, and magician, to keep his farm producing, the speaker added. Mr. Hutchison now conducts a daily radio program on WILK for farmers. After his talk he spoke with many of the club members informally and answered questions on the plight of the small farmer today, and what price supports are doing to the nationwide farmer si• tuation. JORDAN Est. 1871 - ..,, Another Wilkes College figure stepped into the limelight in the l~cal_ press this :week wit~ the begmn_m g of a ~enes of articles concernmg a serious problem locally. The articles, written for the Wilkes-Barre Record, morning paper of the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company, are being written by Dr. Hugo Mailey, chairman of the Wilkes Political Science Department, and carry Dr. Mailey's · byline. In the series, the Wilkes professor and leader in civic improvements for Greater Wilkes-Barre, is discussing the current subject of sewage disposal in this area, regarding the state's demands that disposal plants be erected in line with its clean streams program. Dr. Mailey, a leader in civic affairs since coming to Wilkes and Wyoming Valley, has · distinguished himself in getting to the root of many of the area's problems and then setting the. right people about the task of helping to solve them. He was instrumental in setting up courses for local officials in many categories h ere at Wilkes and in planning special conferences through which Wilkes College has been able to play a large role in aiding the revitalization culturally and economicall y of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The most recent previous effort of Dr. Mailey was the community re:development_ conference at the Wilkes cafeteria, at which top redevelopment experts in the state lectured and offered ways and show~d means toward finding and solvmg re:development problems. At that tlm~, Rep. J?aniel J. _Flood lauded ~1lk:s for its efforts m the commumty mterest.

JUNIORS HOLD MEETING An item of major interest and concern at a recent Junior Class meeting was the apparent nonchalant attitude toward attendance despite the co-operation of both the club presidents and the Student Council. · Les Weiner suggested th e possibility that the class members do not realize the necessity or importan ce of supporting their officers, and to eliminate that possibility asked that a letter be sent to all members.

Club Publicity Ordered To Chase Hall P.R.O. SENIOR VOTE DUE ON GIFT THURSDAY AT CLASS MEETING Faculty .Volunteers Honor Committee 48 WC Education Majors Now Practice Teaching �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIAL - Coals to Newcastle Well, they're trying to start another one. As if the campus were not already over-run with a sufficiently confusing myriad of organizations, the Student Council has been backing another one of late. This time it happens to be what is probably the logical conclusion - if not reduction to an absurdity - of the whole system; to wit, an organiza tion of heads of organizations. What they want to institute now is an organization of club and class presidents. This pointless aggregation is excused on th basis that it will help organizations coordinate with the Council; it just so happens tha t the club presidents a re supposed to attend C~mncil meetings to begin with, but there is really nothing impressive behind this - merely the constitution of the student body. And as to the question of representing classes, we will not insult the intelligence of our readers by belaboring the fact that the Council members a re in fact elected on a cla ss representation basis. WHO'D RUN WHO? Not only would this organization of organization heads become unwieldly, but it is difficult to . see just how the students they represent could control it beyond the level of their own organizations, and even if they could, there is little doubt that the organization would presently find itself in the condition in which so many campus organizations are now with too few forces to do too much. Moreover, with organizations of this kind, which by their membership are perforce highly influential, there is the very present danger that the group might become one source of topheavy pressure upon the political organization which in theory represents not only the few positions of leadership but also great body of those who back them. . Finally, perhaps the most cogent argument against the establishment of such a group is the simple fact that, should the organization be somehow able to correct all the flaws pointed out above, its existence would still be little more than a simple example of useless duplication; it would be. another Student Council. And for all its blunders and floundenngs, one Student Counc;il is quite enough for one campus. P.R. Office Completes New Photographic Lab A completely phot ographic laboratory is t he Public Relations Departm ent's m ost recent aid in its endeavor to bring the do ings of Wilkes College before the public's eye. The photo lab, locat ed in the basement of Chase Hall, is now as well equipped and as efficient a s most photo labs in this area, with the exception of one or two professional studios, according to John D.

Elliot, Act ing Dean of Men SEVEN CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF A TEACHER On September 17, 1956 I will return to the best, if not t he oldest, profession devised by man. On that happy day I will be privileged to gaze once again upon the familiar yawning f aces of our eager and ambitious C. & F. students. Among them, moreover, will be certain types that appear in classes g eneration after generation . 1. The "I Think The Tea cher's A Genius" Type: Th.i s character is r ecognized by his bobbing head, which seek s to indicate that every word the t eacher utters is a glistening gem. He agrees wit h coughs, sneezes, wheezes, mis-stat ements; ever ything. N eedless to say, this gu y needs a B average in order to graduate. 2. The " I Think Th e Tea cher Stinks" Type: This charact er won't even admit that the roll taking was correct. He fail ed the course the first time, and you can 't prove by him that the teacher isn't pre judiced. He sucks on a lemon befor e class in order to sustain for fifty minutes a look of proper di sdain. 3. The "We Just Found Love" Type: This type requires two students of opposite sex. They are most often observable in earl y Spring, and t heir flushed fa ces suggest miles of hiking along the river bank. All t he teacher ever sees of t hem is a profile view, a lt houg h a st range giggle can oft en be heard. 4. The " Tonsil Displa y" Type : All t his guy asks is a comfortable seat, and common cour t esy demands that t he teacher disturb him as little as possible.

The "Wolf " Type : This guy likes any g irl from six to sixt y, particularly those who wear sweater s. He picks a strategic spot in the room so that he can observe any passing limb inside or outside the class.

PRESS BOX By GEQ~GE ELLIOT (Pinch-hitting for Jonni Falk) A HORSE AND BUGGY PHILOSOPHY ON ATHLETICS : . ' ·; As my stomach expat1ds, as my hairline reced~s, and as I watch my bowling average sink lower each week I become sadly conscious of the facts of Id age'. I notice that more and more my thoughts turn to proper diet and to plotting the regularity of bwel moveyµ~nts. This, they tell me, is a sure sign of a person tobogganing piaply ~ovmwar<l qn the othF side of the hill. I ayµ 11,lso -b eginning to worir:ler wheth¢r I am not becoming just a little dated and old-fashioned in spme pf ~Y ideas an4 philosophies. Has the world chan~ed so much from the era of Frank Meniwell to that of Stilt Chamberlain? Three weeks ago an athletic scandal erupted at one of the prominent Far Western ·universities. This was not just one of those expected day to day occurrences merely involving convertibles, doctored grade records, lavish expense accounts, or a high salaried campus job feeding migrating grosbeaks. This was an internal struggle for power. Players were being paid by one side to play and by the other side to lie down on the job. The backfield coach conveniently forgot to give the players certain inst.ructions. The powerful alumni association applied monetary pressure in support of those dissident players who opposed the coach's disciplinary action. From the ~ig Ten to thePacific Coast League to the Southwest ·conference the "amateur athletes" of America expressed their shocked dismay at such a breach of professional ethics. A man ought to at Elliot least know what he is being paid for and by whom! I am old fashioned enough to believe that there is something wonderful about late Autumn weekends and the traditional game between Unknown Tech and my alma mater. I am old fashioned enough to believe that there can be more real excitement and lasting memories in a game, however amateurish, played by fellows I recognize as my classmates than there could ever be in a coliseum extravaganza involving imported behemoths. I am old fashioned enough to believe that there should not be the relationship between scholarship assistance and athletic participation which seems to reduce a given football game to a sort of contractual business engagement between school and student. ATHLETICS A PART OF EDUCATION What really marks me as a remnant of horse and buggy philosophy is a feeling that athletic participation is a necessary and vitally important part of any person's general education. I am one who still believes that a student:athlete will be a more complete person of stronger character and potential than the non-athlete. I believe that the lessons o:/' group cooperation and of self-sacrifice that one learns on the athletic field c.a n be of much greater izp.pprtance than mere textbook learning. In fact, I feel sorry for the individu11l who foregoes sports activity, because I tl}j?}k that he l:i11s missed something of lasting impprtance. In summ.ary, I ):>elieve. that the time and. energy that a trµe amateur athlete puts into his sports p.ctivity will pay him back several times over in making of him. a stronger, II)Ore adaptable, and more dependable MiteS., (~-6). human personality.

The varsity got the evening off to a poor start by dropping the initial game, 37 to 21, in a fast moving contest. Barbara Vavrek was high scorer for the varsity with 9 points. In the jayvee encounter, the Wilkes women surprised everyone by coming from behind in the second half to defeat the Reading lassies, 28-15. Captain Bernie Vidunas credited the victory to the fine work of the guards who allowed only two points to be scored in the second half while the Colonelettes were piling up 19. Vidunas scored over half of the Wilkes total with 16 points.. Marion Klawonn was next with 8. Karen Karmelowicz and Judy ,B odkin did a fine job at center setting up plays for the other forwards. Karmelowicz also starred at the free throw line collecting 4 points. The guards who did such admirable defensive work were: Dolly Dombrowski, Judy Tabasco, Ginny Wallizer, Mim Thompson, and Pat Reed. Dombrowski, Tabasco and W allizer are new players for the Colonelettes. The game marked a new era in women's basketball at Wilkes as the College has never had a jayvee team before. The game gives the junior cagers a chace to try out their skills - basketball that is! The Colonelettes play their final game of the season at Moravian on March 17. By Cliff Kobland Going into the final week of actien for the grapplers, heavyweight Bob Masonis is leading his teammates in scoring. Big Bob, in his senior year at Wilkes, has compiled 34 points to date. Trailing close behind is l)on Reynolds with 30 points and Dave Thomas with 28. Masonis is also leading in falls with five.

Not to be outdone by mere leprechauns, the Freshmen, in COUNCIL APPROVES SCHOLARSHIP FUND FROM I.C.F. BALANCE Provisions for a student scholarship fund were submitted to and approved by the student governing body at the last Student Council meeting. The fund will be called the "Annual Student Body Scholarship Grant" and will be awarded to the person considered most worthy by a faculty committee. The money for the scholarships will come from the balance of the Intercollegiate Conference F u n d which was established earlier in the academic year to finance activities of organized campus clubs. The Student Council Scholarship will be awarded to the outstanding student on the basis of need, scholarship, and leadership. Representatives of the Student Council will meet with the Scholarship Committee of the faculty to nominate candidates. The group will rate them in order of merit and need. The person rated first will get the highest award. The others will get awartls if the money is availabl e. No individual award will exceed $250.00, but the joint committee may divide the funds among the ,t hree top students in any manner to r ender the greatest service. Names of candidates will be placed in nomination before May 15 of the spring semester and the award or awards will be announced during the first two weeks of the fall term. BASTRESS ANNOUNCES TRIAL REGISTRATION Dr. Alfred W. Bastress, dean of instruction, announced that the beginning of trial registrations this coming week, samples showing the correct method of completing the registration fo-r ms will be posted on most campus bulletin boards. Dr. Bastress stated that unnecessary delay and complications in processing forms have resulted in the past from mutilation of the registration forms and improper entries thereon. He asked that students note the sample form s before attempting to fill in the registration form for the fall semester. This affair will mark the closing of this year's activities, and half of t he cost will be paid from the class treasury . All juniors are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with their f ellow classmates in a friend ly, informal atmosphere. Jerome Stein is chairman of the a ffai r .

The West Virgi nia boys' school will also send five stud ents to the Wilkes campus for a weekend. President Lynch announced that the West Virginians will come to the college during the weekend of May 4, 5, and 6. The Wilkesmen will visit the southern institute on April 6, 7, and 8.

The City has said nothing since, fortunately, but the other day some of our readers pointed out that it might be well justified in so doing. What annoyed the people who spoke to us was the inconsiderateness of some drivers who park their vehicles in such a manner as to fill not only their own space, but that of another as well. And it is not too unusual, either, they claim, to find other autos boxed in beyond all hope of moving until one of the machines on either end has left. What really worries them, though, is the tendency for many to park in restricted zones, or, even worse, ne~ to City fire plugs. Now when the City granted students parking privileges, it was assumed that the students would be mindful of their responsibilities to their fellows and to the community. A privilege is not, despite what some of the College's less admirable citizens seem to think, a right. A privilege is something which can be removed, and if abuses continue, drivers who continue to demonstrate their irresponsibility may just discover one day that it has been.

For an intelligent boy, (and I know you are) you surely do not follow logical lines of reasoning. Case in point, your letter to the Editor in last week's Beacon. You say that in order for Student Council representatives to do their jobs •p roperly, they must first know their jobs. (,Logical so far, huh? Wait!) You ,then say that Student Council representatives do not :know their jobs, but in proof of this you offer only your observations at "several" Council meetings. This, Dave, is illogical. The logical source of .p roof of any contention regarding the Student Council and its members would have been the Council's record. Of course, you wouldn't do this because it defeat your purpose of knocking the Council. Had you taken the trouble to do so, you would have found the record of the Student Council unblemished by failure in any undertaking. For example, let us consider the case of the budget discussed by the Council in September of 1955. The entire matter was handled so smoothly and so efficiently that many students could not understand why it had been a problem in the past. The Council members, in working towarq tl}eir goal of rep.resentiiig their constituents, were responsible £or the efficiency. As another example, let us consider this year's Winter Carnival.

Myers Baseball Coach John Reese, interviewed Wednesday, was optimistic about the chances for this year's diamond crew. The team as a whole is young, with plenty of experienced pitching. Also, there is more depth at every position. A TIP OF THE FALK HAT Well, both teams made it through the season in one piece. Maybe, ;he grapplers could have even waded through a few more opponents the way they were coming on with a rush at the end of the year, but we ioubt if the cagers could ever have taken the floor for another game. rhe hoop season was just too darn long. Starting back somewhere around the beginning of December, the basketball team plowed through 27 tilts with 15 of them coming · on the road. It was just too much for some of them. Remember, there were a few vacations spliced into the hoop season, and the long schedule complete with layoffs did more harm than good. They were tired at the end of the season - yet they were dead game. We don't •t hink Wilkes will ever have a gamer .bunch of guys on ;he court at one time than it had this year in the likes of Jimbo Ferris, Toe Jablonski, Carl Van Dyke, Bob -Sokol, Shawn Bresnahan, George Morgan - and all the crew who were rea"dy when needed. Perhaps few people realize that this team, even though they had a losing season, racked up as many wins as another Wilkes court team. AND THEY WON ONLY TWO TILTS ON THE ROAD ALL YEAR! Not enough can be said about the wrestling team. The one blot on its record is nothing to be ashamed of.. Let's face it! Bloom prob!Lbly has more to hide about that match than we do. And speaking of ~ameness, don't ever forget Neil Dadurka continually wrestling out of his class with nary a complaint; Sam Shugar's almost amazing comeback; Bob Masonis losing 30 pounds to make 177 a few times; or any of the guys who kept going despite injuries and hunger problems.

Rather, such donations are indicative of the fact that people are aware of the College's existence, and that they are willing to help. The Dean's Corner By GEORGE F.

Captain Dick Morris, last year's average champion, gave his team the boost it needed by turning in a 215 when the Riders needed it most. The Terrors, champs of the American Division, started as if they r:c,eant to make a clean sweep of the match by roaring through the first game behind captain Gross and Bob Helmbold. Riders Win Second However, with Morris and Joe Miceli showing the way, the Riders came back · in the second. After taking the second by a big margin, the champs had all they could do to stave off the Terrors in the final game. The Terrors took the game, but lacked enough pins to come out on top in a playoff which was decided by total pins. Members of the new championship team are: captain Dick Morris, John Hessler, Joe Miceli, Joe Ackourey and Janet Davies. The runners-up, led by Howie Gross, include: Leo Dembrowski, Jim .

Down by ten at the half , it became increasingly apparen t that the Crew Cuts could not mus~ ter any ,k ind of an attack. Rahl managed to get 8 points, which was. high for his team. Club 20 which sewed up the National League a number of weeks. ago had to wait to meet the winner· of the American loop which ended in a three -way tie. At the end of the regular seasonthe Crew Cuts, Clowns, and Newport had identical won-lost records, 5-1. Then in the ployoff games the Crew Cuts squeaked by the Clowns, 37-35, and then dumped Newport, 48-41. But their closing drive which netted them seven straight victories was not enough to give them the crown. Despite the fact that their bi,. 6'-5'' center, Savitsky, sat out most YOUNSU KOO of the game hampered by personal outstanding hooter fouls, Club 20 controlled the boards and the game most of the way. The fourth quarter was their biggest as they netted 20 points. Thus they became the second team in the history of Intramural basketball at Wilkes to win 2 straight titles, and the first team to land a playoff berth four straight years. The team, more or less of a tradition, is composed of commuting students. CLUB 20 G F Pts.

By JONNI FALK, Sports Editor LET'S TAKE rmsT THINGS FIRST In just a few weeks from now, the senior class will hold a vote in which the college athletic department can't lose. The June graduates have decided to give the school a class gift which will consist of either a set of flags for the gym or a trophy case. They are both good ideas, but let's take first things first. The flags would be those of opponents Wilkes meets during the course of the athletic year. The t rophy case would contain awards given the college and its athletes during the course of the years. The final choice must boil to one of practicality. Should we enshrine our opponents before we pay tribute to· our own athletes? Sure, teams coming in to play would feel good to see a flag from their school in the gym. It even smacks a bit of big time (which we are not in athletics). But what about the graduate who comes back for homecoming day and asks what happened to the trophy his team won back when? It seems to us that we should take care of our own before we start thinking of the other guy. Then we must consider the fact that schedules change. Many of the teams on our current card, and whose flags would presumably be purchased, will not be on the schedule in the future. Those things change continually. The price of a flag is a considerable expenditure for something which could wind up gathering dust in a closet. But then, some of the dusty old trophies our boys have sweated for may need company in tha,t closet. Now don't get us wrong. We're not criticising the idea of buying flags. It is a good one, and Wilkes is proud of the hospitality it shows visiting athletes. We know that other schools possess such embellishments and maybe we should too. But, if we're going to follow the Jones boys., let's do it right. Let's put up pictures of our teams in the gym lobby, and then admit that we like athletics and athletes. But we'd still be willing to bet that every team that has these flags also has a trophy case which points proudly to that school's achievements. So we suggest that the seniors think carefully before they cast their votes. Remember! Some of you may be the old grads who will come back someday and wonder if it was all worthwhile. However, as we said before, .e ither way - sports can't lose and we're glad of it.

Members of the two squads who will be eligible for competition next year participated in the election. A pair of Butler Hall dorm students walked away with the nod from the football team as Ronnie Rescigno and Bill Farish were named to be co-captains of the 1956 grid Colonels. Rescigno, a sophomore, has been a star back for two years since coming here from Cambria Heights, Long Island. Showing his versatility, he switched to halfback in the split-T last year after running from tailback in the single wing in his freshman year. Farish, now a junior, was the only Colonel to receive post-season mention last year when he was given honorable mention on the Williamson Little All-America. A guard, he comes from Huntingdon, Pa. Bresnahan Cage Head John Bresnahan, Plymouth junior, was elected captain of the 1956-57 cagers. The naming of the 6-2 forward marked the second sport he will head next year. He had previously been chosen co-captain, along with Ahmad Kazimi, of the soccer t eam. One of the top scorers on this year's team, Bresnahan had lettered for two years and forms the keystone of next year's squad. Rescigno and Farish succeed Glenn Carey, who captained last year's gridders. Bresnahan replaces three cage co-captains, Jim F erris, Joe J ablonski and Carl Van Dyke. �WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, March 23, 1956 65 On First-Semester Dean's List Jessie Roderick, Patricia sI Ou I, Musical to be Benefit I~~t;~e~E!!T!!~ 2~NTER John Bu c h o I I z Jesse Choper • Th omas score per fecI 3•0 Bern1ce I Sixty-five Wilkes students earned grades high enough to place them on the Dean's List for last semester, Dean of Men George Elliot announced early this week.

However, we still remember the secret stories running around Ashley Hall last year about some of the fabulous scores rung up by our stalwarts. Seriously, with the college expanding the way it is, the addition of golf to the varsity slate will add prestige to our sports schedule.

DEBATERS AT KING'S FOR EASTERN FORENSIC The College announced another large donation last night$558,000-for the fonnation of a "W. S. Carpenter Memorial Fund", to encourage the study of science and to support independent research at the College. The gift was announced by Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the board of trustees. The fund is in memory of W. S. Carpenter, a leader in the early business development in this area, and was donated by his son, Mr. W. S. Carpenter, Jr. Mr. Carpenter is chairman of the board of the Dupont de Nemours Company, Wilmington, Del.

Theta Delta Rho will entertain This event is going to be a kind of "sweepstake"; in addition to the customary orthodox style of debate, there will be awards and ratings for persuasive s•peaking and extemporaneous speaking. Competition is expected to be especially stiff for the weekend contest, with no less than 24 of the nation's leading colleges and universities entered. However, Dr. Kruger is confident that our Wilkes debaters will make a good showing, just as they have in the past. Wilkes' debating t eam has done a fine job thus far this year. It is interesting to note that Choper is the only member of the team with a year's debating ex,perience behind him; John Bucholtz, Bruce Warshall and Fred Rober.ts have just joined the debating team this year. Helping to keep Wilkes College on top and making our school more widely known, the Jesse Chop er John Bucholtz team has managed impressive wins during the season over such tough competitors as Harvard, ,B oston, and Princeton.

Carpenter Press Club Plans Trip to 'Inquirer' By Janice Schuster The College Press Club recently received word that the Philadelphia Inquirer will be host to its members Thursday, May 3 at the paper's publishing offices. Approximately ten members of the club will go to New York with advi!!Or John D. Curtis, Director of Public Relations. The Inquirer is one of the largest newspapers in the world. The Wilkes students will be taken on a tour of the publishing plant while an edition of the paper is actually being printed. Curtis and his advisees hope to leave the campus on Thursday afternoon. The tour of the paper will begin at 8:15 p.m. and will last about one hour. The club members will return to WilkesBarre immediately after visiting the newspaper premises. Earlier in the year the club toured WBRE television station, where its members observed many of the instruments and techniques necessary for a televised program. Dr. Farley noted that this gift brings the total of pledges and donations of substantial size within t he past three months to $1,827,000, and that it denotes a promising prelude to the major phase of the development campaign which will be started in 1957 . Dr. Farley also commented that this is the second assist for the science departments, providing the .College with new and modern resources for the teaching of science. The senior Mr. Carpenter was a Wilkes-Barre native, born April 5, 1853, one of the leaders in the time of this city's greatest expansion. He was a man of varied interests and talents. His firm was instrumental in the development of the electric trolley system, and some of the refinements he introduced are still in use in modified form today. His plumbing and metal work firm served the mining and associated industries in the days when coal was king. Mr. Carp_enter outlined very liberal terms for the administration of the living memorial. It was his hope that the income from it would be used to encourage research, assist students of unusual promise in the field of science, and to enable the science faculties to initiate programs which they feel would strengthen the work of their departments. At the end of his letter, Mr. Carpenter referred indirectly to the relationship of his grant to his own life's work: "Perhaps there is a measure of fitness in scie11ce at work serving science at study." Turtel Named Treasurer Of Regional ICG Group Last weekend the Wilkes College International Relations Club traveled to the Intercollegiate Conference on Government held at Harrisburg. The Wilkes group presented eight major planks to the mock political convention. S e v e n of them passed. Neil Turtel, Wilkes delegate was named regional treasurer of the ICG at the conference. Turtel is also a candidate for the .p residency of the IRC next year in the club elections to be held next Tuesday. �2 Friday, April 20 1956 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS - Apologies Somehow in last week's story on the College-produced musical, "Bloomer Girl", the Beacon managed to omit mention of one of its co-directors, Mr. John G. Detroy, head of the Wilkes music department and director of the musical side of the show. The Beacon, and the editor in particular, regrets the error, and wishes to mention also the orchestra for the production, a group little publicized, but as essential for the success of any such attempt as the acting and singing casts.

At Hampton we found an energetic and productive community ; we found a campus of unusual beauty and of excellent physical facilities; we sensed a living spirit of devotion and of hope for the future. Most signficantly, however, we found friendship. Each of our boys lived with, ate with, attended classes with, and engaged in a variety of social activities with his Hampton host. The President, the Tuesday is the day when candidates for the College Student Council speak in assembly to present their platforms for Wednesday's election. It is also, the day when the actual primary elections are held in this Commonwealth, and _those of voting age ought not to lose sight of the actuality for which such attempts at student government as the Council and its attendant elections are designed to train those for whose benefit they are held. So while the speeches on Tuesday are important to the campus, let it not be forgotten that while they are something in the light of practice, the voting going on in the booth in the gymnasiulll lobby while the candidates are talking is not practice but the real thing, something of certainly at least equal importance to the College as well.

Matches with Wyoming Seminary and Scranton U. are in the works, and there is a possibility of scheduling a match or even a -p air of matches with Lycoming. Eight candidates indicated that they would like to compete on an intercollegiate tennis team for the College. At a meeting Wednesday with Russ Picton, the men learned of plans to enter the Middle Atlantic Colleges Athletic Conference's proposed tennis league. The Wilkes t eam would enter the Northeastern Division, if -p resent plans mature. The teams in this division are Hofstra, Lafayette, -Lehigh, Moravian, Muhlenberg, Rutgers, Scra,n ton, Seton Hall, Stevens Institute, Wagner, and Wilkes. Also within traveling distance, though members of the Northwest Section, are: Albright, Bucknell, Dickinson, Juniata, Lebanon Valley, and Lycoming. This year the t ennis team will be run as a quasi-intramural operation, although next year it is plann ed to run as a full- fledg ed intercollegiate sport, with an eight or t en-game schedule. Fred Boote, a senior and wellknown local netman, will work in This week's award will be no surprise to the followers of the Wilkes baseball club. John Milliman, fast and fancy mainstay of Coach Reese's mound cr ew, gains the nod for his stellar -p itching performances. Although •B ig John has a rather unlikely won-lost record at the moment, 1-2, his earned-run average is a very respectable 2.05. In the 26 1/ 3 innings he has pitched, the righthand ace has chalked up 26 strike outs, while ,allowing only 15 hits and seven bases on balls. John's best performance was his one-hit shutout of Rider in the curtain raiser of the season. He fanned 13 and walked one of the Roughriders, to gain the only win on the Colonels' record. In this week's tilt with Moravian, Milliman was a victim of three unearned runs, while his teammates could garner but one. The team has scored but five runs in the three games John started. If the hitters can get behind him and the squad's fielding picks up, John can finish his last year with an excellent record. an advisory ca-p acity and as a liaison between coach Picton and the t eam. The squad has received rpermission from the city to use the municipal courts in Kirby Park, which should be a boon to the t ennis t eam. The following m en are candidates for the team: Fred Boote, senior; William Savitsky, sophomore; Ronald Krupinski, junior; George Weaver, junior; Francis Gallia, sophomore; Leroy Fiergang, so,p homore; Max Friedlander, freshman; and Robert Koser, freshman. Coach Reese to Give Pitching Assignment To Milliman or McNew By Cliff Kobland The Wilkes College baseball team travels to Allentown tomorrow to take on the Mules of Muhlenberg . T'his will be the Colonels' fifth game of the season and the third road game. So far on the road they have one won while losing the same amount. They have been una·b le to win before the hometown fans. The team expects to face tough competition from the Mules. Muhlenberg has posted a victory over the University of P ennsylvania and has also been defeated by the same club. The Muhlenberg nine has also gone down to a close defeat at the hands of a very good Nav~ team. Coach John Reese, who led the-soccer and wrestling teams to their best seasons in the history of· Wilkes, is optimistic about the rest of the games. Mr. Reese said that the pitching has been very strong and the fielding has been fair, but the weak spot in our team is our hitting. And you can't score runs without hits. It is undecided who will pitch down at Allentown. It will be either John Milliman, the work horse of the team who has pitched in every game this season and has comrpiled a 1-2 record, or Mel McN ew. Mel, when not pitching, has been playing in the outfield. Otherwise the lineup will stay the same. Every man is •p laying. good ball except that the hitting has not been consistent to say the least. Catcher John Harvey thinks that the breaks are going against the t eam and that one Wilkes starts getting some breaks on their side they will start on the winning trail. •Certainly, they have the potential to do just that. From the PRESS BOX By JONNI FALK, Sports Editor WHERE'S THE HITTING? Maybe it is still too early to count them out, but it doesn't look like this year's baseball t eam is going anywhere. Blessed with one of the best pitching staffs a Colonel nine has ever had, the team just hasn't been able to jell as yet. With a current record of 1-3, the and Gold's pseudo clouters have mustered the astounding total of just 16 hits in four tilts. With the help of Mr. Wasileski, we figure that this comes out to four hits per game - thanks to a seven hit spree against Rider. What we ha ven't been able to figure out is why the ball won't fall in. For college ball, and the bad weather which has hamper ed everybody, few Colonels have been striking out. The average is only about five a game, which is not bad. But, the boys just don't seem to be able to get good wood on the ball - especially when it counts. The last two Wilkes runs have scored on weak taps to the infield when a good base knock could have put the pitcher in plenty of trouble. SPORTING GOODS Over the last three games, the swatters have been able to get Milliman and McNew a total of two runs. Milliman pitched well 28 North Main Street enough to win in at least one of those games, and McNew lost a heart-breaker in his only time out. In addition, the fi elding has been anything but airtight. Four boots and a passed ball helped sink Milliman against tough Moravian when TUXEDOS TO RENT he might have had a shutout. Other balls have found open spots which Special Price To Students just shouldn't have been there. 198 SO. WASHINGTON ST. They're not finished yet, but the diamond crew will have to find a spark someplace if they are going to imp-r ove on last year's shabby record. The schedule this year is tough, and unless they find the big hit and the big fielding play to go with the pitching, John Reese mig ht just as well throw his dreams of a third winning coaching season down the drain.

Both of these sports carry out the more practical aspects mentioned a few weeks ago in regard to the recently-organized Fencing Club, which, by the way, last week overcame one of its last hurdles when its charter was approved by the tudent Council. The advantage to all three of these sports lies in the fact that they are not particuarly brutal or violently overactive, and consequently offer more to the ordinary student.

The Economics Club returns from an overnight field trip to New York City this afternoon. The trip included visits to the Chase Manhattan National Bank and the New York Stock Exchange. Much valuable information was absorbed by the members. The trip was made in automobiles provided by the Club. Each member will be reimbursed for t heir expenses, including the three dollar fee paid for transportation. Reservations for the trip were made through Chet Miller, Len Mulcahy, John Scandale, Bob Scally and Al Kuchinskas. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 To: The entire student body, I wish to thank all those who nominated me as a candidate for Cinderella, but I feel that I must decline the nomination. Having received the honor of Cinderella last year, I believe, now that it is only fair that I withdraw my name from the ballot. At the same time I extend to each one of the girls my sincerest good-luck wishes in the coming election. Sincerely, Jacqueline Oliver The DEAN'S CORNER By George F. Elliot, Acting Dean of Men One vital institution in every office, sewing circle, and Saturday Evening and Chowder Club is the end-of-year report. This is the time when the President of the organization points to such solid achievements as the new one-way lock on the ladies' room and the more strategic grouping of cuspidors. He hopes these symbols of progressive leadership will end once and for all any remaining doubts as to how his wife's brother happened to be appointed treasurer. This is the month when the harassed Secretary ponders long hours trying to decode his faded shorthand notes in order to make a permanent annual r e c o r d. The notes he took at that emergency meeti n g following the N ew Year's Eve Party are partic u 1 a r l y hazy, and he still can't quite Elliot decide whose wife it was that ran off with whose husband. It is also the time of the year when the Treasurer reports from somewhere in the vicinity of Las Vegas that the organization's assets now consist of six one cent postage stamps, one fifty cent poker chip, a rain check to a Union City burlesque house, and seventeen personal IOU slips totalling a sum of $1,000,043 . In line with this tradition I fe el ,t hat it is proper and necessary for the Acting Dean of Men to submit a similar report to Dr. Farley. This is one way to prove that retailing majors are not the only people who conduct surveys. It will also have the added advanta.ge of assuring my permanent return to the t eaching faculty. A group of senior Lettermen chosen by the Club's executive council, and by Mr . and Mrs. Farrar, served as the selecting committee. The Queen was chosen on the basis of beauty, brains, poise, and service to the school. Miss Beard was escorted by Tony Bianco, Wilkes Letter man.

Starting pitcher for today's contest remained ·a question mark at press time due to the schedule which had the Colonels slated for four games in four days. However, the call could go out to Mo Batterson, number one man in the bullpen, for his first start of the year. The Colonels have been hitting well in recent starts, but will have to tighten up afield. Ithaca brings one of the best clubs in the history of the New Yqrk college into town today.

This exchange plan originated at the request of the West Virginia school early in the year. In correspondence with Mr. George Elliot, Wilkes' Acting Dean of Men, Hampton Institute officials expressed a desire to have members of their student bdy visit Wilkes, and invited Wilkes to send visiting students in return. The first weekend in A p r i l, our four c 1 a s s presidents and one 'Student Council official, traveled to Hampton Institute. Those who represented Wilkes were: Bob Lynch, Dave Vann, Bob Thomas, George Batterson, and Larry Amdur. The Ha1:npton Institute people will arrive about 6:30 o'clock this evening. They will be met by their hosts at the Administration Building, Chase Hall. A scheduled program for the weekend has been arranged by three Student Council members: Larry Amdur, Sam Lowe and Chet Miller. At 7:0-0 ·p .m., our guests will have dinner at the college cafeteria with student hosts and friends; at 8 p.m., there will be a social with Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg is Chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department. Tomorrow, our visitors start the day off with a tour of the campus followed by a welcome by President Eugene S. Farley at his office. There will also be a coffee and doughnuts reception at 10:30 a.m. at McClintock Hall with members of the faculty and student body. 'The Hampton Institute people will complete a full day with an outing and picnic supper at Dr. Farley's farm at Beaumont. Sunday morning our guests will be going to church with their hosts. Then, Sunday afternoon, after a busy three days at Wilkes-Barre, Hampton's five m en will return home. Manuscript Set For Early Distribution Two Short Stories, "New Look" Featured In '56 Literary Mag. The Spring, 1956 edition of the Manuscrip_t, the College literary magazine, will be ready for distribution on campus the early part of next week, it was announced today by the Manuscript Association. Copies will be placed in the library and all other buildings on campus. F eatured in this year's edition are short stories by Jeannette P errins and Tom Kaska, both of whom make their debuts as Manuscript authors. "The Letter", by Jeannette P errins, treats an anxious day in the life of a coed. "The Wall", by Tom Kaska, captures the tragedy and ,p athos of local mine shutdowns through the eyes of a Slavic miner. Also featured are articles by Shirley Ray, Katherine Kescanko, John Carling, Frank Lutinski, and Barbara Boock. Illustrations by Pat Reese and Della King, and tail-pieces by Kay Noonan add vigor and freshness to the magazine as a whole. Several innovations in design have been made to give the Manuscript a new look. The cover has been redesigned, and the quality of paper changed. Because too few articles had been submitted to warrant a legitimate contest, the $25 savings bond will not be awarded, as was originally planned. None of the articles appearing in the magazine was submitted to competition by the author. TOR ELECTION RESULTS New officers were elected by Theta Delta Rho on Wednesday.

The newly elected officers are in charge of the club's outing which will ta.k e place this Sunday at Wolfe's Grove. The outing is an annual affair of the club and serves to give the incoming administrators a chance to exercise their powers and an opportunity to acquire experience in club affairs from the administrative level. The program for next year's club is an extensive one and aims to duplicate, -if not surpass, this year's very highly successful one. Second Wilkes Blood Day Today; . Reese Hopes Ouola is Topped Again; Three-Fold Insurance Plan Will Hold Wilkes students will again have the opportunity to donate a pint of blood in the second half of the semi-annual blood drive held by the Red Cross today at the blood center on South Franklin Street from eleven to five o'clock. Seniors Complete Practice Teaching In Local Schools Wilkes seniors in education began their eight weeks of student teaching in Wyoming Valley schools on February 27th. The initial part of the program consisted of an observation period of from one to five days, and was followed by a supervised teaching period of seven weeks. These education majors have had their first taste of teaching after spending the past sixteen years of their lives as students. The following completed their teaching in the area's elementary schools: State Street School, Nanticoke, Bernice Thomas, second grade; Lafayette School, WilkesBarre, Geraldine Kolotelo, fourth grade, and Victoria Za:v~tski, third grade; Hoyt School, Wilkes-Barre, Gail Lain es, third grade, J essie Roderick, first grade, B a r b a r a Rogers, second grade, Mary Zavatski, fourth grade.

He has announced that since 1953 more than one thousand Wilkes students have donat~d at least one of their eleven pints of blood to this worthy cause. Reese expressed hope that the donations for the college this semester will be much g reater than the 97 pints given last December. Donors must be at least 18 to contribute; those under 21 must have the written consent of their parents. Mr. Robert W. McDonouth, director of the blood insurance program at the center and a Wilkes graduate, stated that the same insurance program used last year will be employed this year. This three-fold plan states that the Red Cross will furnish blood to the donor, his immediate family or any member of the group (in this case all Wilkes students) when the need arises. To be eligible for these benefits of blood insurance, Wilkes must m eet their quota. Donors who give 8 pints of blood are eligibl e for the "Gallon Club". For the benefit of the community, Wilkes and yourself, drop over to the Red Cross Center between 11 and 5 o'clock today and give. NEW DORM COUNCIL MEMBERS ELECTED; FARLEY AT MEETING Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Wilkes President, was g uest of the InterDormitory Council at its meeting Wednesday evening at the college dining hall. The college president attended as part of the policy of dose co-operation between the donnitory group and the administration. Main points of business at the meeting concerned the new members elected to the Council, and the report of the Council president, to be made at next week's final meeting of the incumbent Council. The present Council will be succeeded by a group composed of the following newly elected members: From W eckesser Hall: Arthur Rogovin, Ahmad Kazimi; Butler Hall: Reginald Mattioli, Max Friedlander; Warner Hall: James Mo- · ser; Ashley Hall: Robert Chase, Jerome Stein; S.terling Hall: Joan Rishkofski, Mary Eshleman, Peggy Stevens; McC!intock Hall: Judy Menegus, Mary Rose .Sidari.

Hampton Institute, a West Virginiq college, is sending five delegates up to Wilkes as part of a student exchange program beginning this year. It has been hoped that the program might develop into an annual affair, perhaps at some future time incorporating reciprocal study plans. For the present, however, the Hampton students are guests of the College, and thereby, of its students. H~pton chances to be an all-dormitory institution, so that when the Wilkes delegates visited the campus several weeks ago they had ample opportunity to visit with the Hampton people. It ~o happens that Wilkes is largely a commuter school, so that 1t behooves students to go a little out of their way over the weekend to assure these visitors of a reasonable view of what the college here is like.

Worstall, Wilkes C o 11 e g e professor of physics, spoke at last Tuesday's assembly program on the problems of space travel and the flying saucer issue. Intermipgled with semi-technical language, the use of toy balloon, and with the h elp of a large cardboard rocket, the doctor caused the problems of space travel, and the flying saucer controversy to b ecome more vivid in the minds of everyone. _ With the toy balloon, the professor effectively demonstrated the principle of rocket locomotion. H e emphasized the likelihood of celestial travel in the not too distant future. The chief problem now is discovery and utilization _of the proper fuel, he pointed out.The implications of the lecture, however, indicated that in many persons' opinions there has already been discovered not only the proper fuel, but that it has been put to use - in flying saucers. Although many are inclined to scoff at the idea that there are such things as flying saucers, they should be cautioned to regard the massive authenticated data comled, testifying to their existence. - WILKES COLLEGE - Beacon A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Inquirer Plant by Janice Schuster Eight m embers of the College Press Club and club advisor John D. Curtis visited the publishing plant of the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday morning. The club members also were guided through the television studios of St at i o n WCAlU-TV in the afternoon. The purpose of the trip was to acquaint the club m embers with the operation of a big city newspaper. An issue of the paper was being publish ed and the students were able to see both the newswriting and mechanical aspects of producing the paper. The trip was made by car. The students left the campus at 6:30 a.m. and returned late last evening. During the day a tour was made to the interesting points in the citli'embers of the club who went on the trip are Carol Breznay, Thomas Myers, Thomas Price, Janice Schuster, Audrey Radler, Cliff Kobland, Mary Louise Onufer, and Richard Davis. • Lt>NGS,. · ft W\C .-.W FEATURING THE NY LEAGUE LOOK FOR COLLEGE MEN JORDAN Est. 1871 Men's Furnishings and Hats of Quality ** 9 West Market Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. �Fp~qy, May 4, 1956 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON . . t •.

Coach Jack Curtis was undecided about the makeup of his four-man squad for the tournament, but it appeared that Felix Serafin, Jr., Bernie Danchek, Dave Polley and Bill Llewellyn might make the trip. Neil Dadurka was the other possibility. While the ,Colonels do not appear strong enough to capture any titles in this, th eir first time Curtis was confident that the experience would be invaluable to his underclass team.

He has been hitting consistently, playing right field when not pitching. Mel's pitching has been good all season, although he has suffered two losses without getting into the win column. with a 2.96. This puts him . hot on the trail of John Milliman, who ha's been leading the earned run average ,p arade so far this season. His thirteen strikeouts in a losing cause against Ithaca impressed major league scouts in attendance. They said that he could be an effective big league pitcher if he develops an overhand curve ball to go with hi s sidearm fast ball. He lost one game to Albright and was tagged with his second loss by a powerful Ithaca squad, 10-0, last Friday, after pitching three innings of good ball against Cortland the day before.

Club GIVE A PINT OF BLOOD Open A o~ Visits Mental Hospital TODAY - 11 A.M to 5 P.M. CHARGE ACCOUNT by Jerome Stein I l3 [;? I I) 6 !~ How to estimate partnership trick taking capacity after you have opened the bidding and your partner as responder hasA. Raised your suit bid of one to two. Since this expresses a holding of not more than ten points maximum - and since you have already expressed thirteen by opening the bidding - Now if you do not hold a ny more than your original commitment then your maximum is only twenty-three points (13 plus 10 max.) and since it takes approximately twenty-six points to l'.,id a game in no trump or a major ~uit it follows then that you must pass with only thirteen or so points. Should you hold an additional three or four points you express that by bidding for one trick more, and if party has a maximum raise (ten points and not six o·r seven) then he will bid the game since he then is in a position to ·a ssess the holdings in a much clearer ·perspective after you have expressed additional values by rebidding. B. Bid another suit - such as one spade - two hearts. ' Since this bid (2H) shows from ten points upward it behooves you to show your power now - If only 13 points then you rebid your suit at the same level ( lS - 2H - 2S). This sequence tells partner that you have a minimum opening bid and little else. Partner is now ,charged with the ultimate fate and limit of the contract, inasmuch as ·you have had an opportunity to :show more power but didn't, then :it follows that your maximum is 13 to 15 points only. Should you have a king and / or queen better than an opening then you show this by raising partner's called suit to three or by calling two no trump (15 - 17 / 18 points). If yo u h ave 19 to 20 points then you bid three no trump. C. Bid two no trump - since the hid shows from 13 - 15 points. This combined with your already committed 13 points a ssures you that you have game. If your hand has no short suits you bid three no trump. If your hand does have a s ing leton then either bid another suit or rebid your original suit. Then ask partner to bid game in your suit or carry on for game at no trump. This is his discretion only. You are not to disturb his final decision. D. Bid three no trump. Since this shows 16-18 points and you have already shown 13 - You ma y pass if you have little else. You bid again only when you hold 4 points more than your opening. E. Partner has bid one in a suit of higher rank than yours. Treat this cautiously. This is an indefinite call. Partner may have a s little as 5 points or a s much as 20 points. Be careful if you have only 13-15, then bid no trump. This tells partner you have a minimum opening only. Now he can judge the hand the• way his hand dictates. If you cannot bid 1 no trump because your distribution is awkward then simply rebid your suit. This t ells partner you have only a simple opening. llilllilliiillilliilllll -m 1:he Psych-Soc. Club, a_s part of their annual program, Journeyed yes terday to Retreat Mental Hospital.

This will be the seventh consecutive year that Moran has direded the program at Wilkes. The College will be host to Wilkes students and ,t heir parents beginning at 3:1'30 with the band concert in the gym. After the concert, the guests will be served refreshments and will be taken on tours of the campus. To begin his program, Moran has chosen Henry Cowell's "Shoonthree" in which Ralph Harrison, band president, will be featured. Harrison also will play a cornet solo in Gould's "Pavanne" from the "American Symphonette, No. 2". Other selections chosen for the program include "My Lady Greensleeves", an English folksong attributed to Allan A-Dale, one of Robin Hood's adventurers. "-Shepherd's Hey", an English folk dance by Percy Green, and "Folksong Suite", by R. Vaugh Williams, will be featured in the concert along . with a new composition for band by Glen Osser, "Beguine for Band". The finale of the program, "Chorale and Alleluia", was written by Dr. Howard Hanson, director of the Eastman School of Music and former professor of Moran.

The assurance came with the announcement by Mr. Gilbert S. McClintock, chairman of the College's board of trustees, that the College has been named beneficiory for an irrevocable trust fund set up by Dr. Arnauld C. Marts, president of Marts and Lundy, Inc., of New York, in memory of his wife, Ethel. In discussing the possible uses of the fund, Dr. Marts indicated that he wished to make no binding commitments, but would leave to the discretion of the board of trustees the use to which the money should be put. He did sug- gest, however, that suitable memorial, in his opinion, would be a room. This irrevocable trust is the first such gift received by the college. Such trusts are rapidly increasing in popularity because they enable the donor to provide for members of their family while they simultaneously assure the college of needed funds. In addition to the memorial trust, Dr. Marts is making a substantial gift for use in the 25th Anniversary Development Program. The Development Program's scholarship fund coll~ted $10,580 this past week, bringing the total in that drive to $38,082.50. Dr. Marts' gift brings the total thus far received in EDITORIAL - Five In A Row Selection of Carl Van Dyke as the Beacon Athlete of the Ye(IJ' marks fifth consecutive timeDyke's the sports award has been made by thethe campus weekly. Van predecessors include Parker Petrilak (the first athlete to be so honored), George McMahon, Len Batroney 'a nd Jim Ferris. Each year the award, probably from the number of outstanding players who have held the post before, seems to gain just a fraction more of interest and respect from the college's sport fans, and there is no little interest in it, or so we're told by the athletes themselves. After all, the individual cups are something for grandchildren to admire on the family mantle. the development program, which has been underway for less than three months, to $1,800,000. Dr. Marts has been associated with the College since its establishment in 1933. It was during his tenure of office as President of Bucknell University that the responsibility for administering Wilkes College was turned over to local trustees. Two of the gifts, those of $900,000 and $558,000 will help build and equip the new Stark Science Building. Other objectives in the program include raising faculty salaries, increasing the college endowment, and erection of an arts center.

Krachenfels For those Wilkes students and faculty members who participated in the program planned for our guests from Hampton Institute last weekend, the word "brotherhood" has taken on a new meaning. The sincere fellowship experienced by the entire group is difficult to put into words. Comments by the Wilkes people who served as hosts for the Hampton men and the Student ·Council members who joined in the activities may give at least some idea of the spirit which prevailed. Dr. and Mrs. Rosenberg, who entertained the group on Friday evening, commented: "We certainly enjoyed visiting with the students and Dean Stamps. Many of our friends at Hampton sent messages; it was a real reunion. We were proud of the gracious way in which the Wilkes students conducted themselves, and we hope to see this exchange program become an annual .thing." Ted Jones, host to Bill Walls: "I liked meeting ,Bill and hearing about his a ctivities at Hampton. He was especially impressed by Pennsylvania's mountains. We got along fine, even though he referred to m e as his 'drill sergeant' because of the way I got him up in t he morning!" Chet Miller: "If the fellows from Hampton enjoyed the weekend as much as we did, then we can certainly consider it a success." Jim Walsh: "It was the greatest weekend I've spent in WilkesBarre since I came here." Dick Bailey: "Acting as a host has given me an invaluable experience which I shall never forget. The weekend proved .to be a very enjoyable and profitable one. Dean Stamps noticed the relationship between the students and faculty at Wilkes· and was favorably impressed by the comfortable informality. Sometimes it takes outsiders to make us aware of the advantages on our campus." Judy Botkin: "I learned a lot from the discussions we had with the Hampton boys. We agreed that American schools are taught mechanically, not logically. I thought the outing at Dr. Farley's farm was the high point of the weekend. Everyone enjoyed the singing, especially that of the Hampton Alma Mater." John Saba: "Next to the weekend I spent at Hampton Institute, this weekend has been one of the most enjoyable that I've experienced. The Hampton students were very friendly and I hope they enjoyed their visit to Wilkes." The Administration joins the students in expressing pleasure at the outcome of the exchange program. Plans are being discussed concerning the initiation of a semester-long exchange with Hamp m emester-long e x c h a n g e with Hampton.

The vice presidency will once again be filled by Merri Jones, who has held this position for the past semester.. She was re-elected unanimously. For the office of secretary, the job held this year by the new president, Marion Laines, there is a deadlock between two promising fr eshmen, Pat Yost and Bob Lutes. This tie may not be broken until a revote in September, when classes resume Natalie -B arone, a junior, and Elaine Fabian, sophomore, were chosen unanimously for offices of treasurer and historian, respectively. Larry Amdur was nominated for the presidency and vice presidency, but declined both nominations. According to the newly elected officers, Cun 'n' Curtain will be a much more active club next year than it has been in the past. Ventures such as theater trips to New York City will be planned-and made-in the future. Officers also wish to encourage anyone who has talent in any phase of stage work, from prop moving to acting, to mention such abilities to one of the officers or Mr. Alfred Groh, club advisor. New members are always welcome. Sunday, May 20, has been selected as a tentative date for the Club's annual banquet in the College cafet eria. Five awards will be presented at the banquet-for the best femal e and male leading roles, for the best f emale and male supporting roles, and (a new one this year) the best all-around actress or actor.

Psychology Head Talks On Murphy Experiment by Mary Louise Onufer Mr. Rob ert Riley, head of Wilkes College Psychology Department, s,p oke to the college student body at Tuesday's assembly on the lively and currently discussed topic of hypnosis, using the "Bridey Murphy Experiment" and age regression as the core of his speech. The experiment of Mr. Morey Bernstein, an amateur psycholo.gist, involved regressing an individual, Mrs. Ruth 'Simmons, back to various stages of her youth through hypnosis. At a certain point, Mr. Bernstein discovered that the information Mrs. Simmons gave did not coincide with her other information. Mr. Bernstein then claimed that Mrs. Simmons had lived a previous existence in Ireland as a girl named Bridey Murphy. Mr. Riley stated that it was not for him to either condemn or exhonerate Mr. Bernstein's experiment. He said that age regression through hypnosis has been very valuable in psychological treat,ment, but like all good things can be dangerous in the hands of amateurs. The speaker said hypnosis can be administered by almost anyone, but the danger lies in bringing. the individual back from the trancf A<:cording to Mr. Riley, the indiv' (continued on page �Friday, May 11, 1956 3 WILKFS COLLEGE BEACON 11 Named '56 'Athlete' Runners-Up HONORABLE MENTION Background Glimpses Of the Tops in Sports On the Colonel Scene YOUNSU KOO Koo was awarded the Reggie Burr A ward for outstanding soccer player on the Colonel booter squad for the second straight year.

The travelers arrived at the glass company at 11 a.m. The program proved to be an extensive one, since the sight-seers were first shown a film which served to explain some of the mechanics of glass making and later, as a supplement, they were shown exhibits in the museum portion of the plant. The members were also afforded the opportunity to watch the actual manufacture of Steuben Glass from its very beginning to the final product. Of particular interest was the exhibit of the 200 inch lens made for Mount Palomar in California. The lens is the largest piece of glass that has ever been cast and weighs over 20 tons.

Not that spor ts will come to an end at Wilkes College. In our opinion, they are really just beginning. This has been an eventful year for Wilkes College sports-p~rhaps the, most eventful in the history of the college. The memories of the ye... sh,o_uld linger for a long time. THE BIG STORIES Fi.rs.t of all, there was practically a complete turnover of coaches. Youth taok over at every position with Russ Picton, John Reese and Eddie Davis guiding Colonel fortunes. The soccer' team• smashed the school's record in compiling a third straight winning season alt:hough Reese was coaching for the first year. Not satisfied with his soccer laurels, Reese led his wrestling team to an unprecedented 9-1 season which sa.w the grapplers topple Hofstra and Lafayette in two of the biggest upsets of the collegiate year. Atty,vay, Upsets are what the newspapermen like to call thett1.. The boys never had any doubts about the outcome. Continuing: along the fist of big stories for the year, we remember that .t he college added two more varsity sports .and made plans. for a third next year. Tl!re terinis and golf teams swu:ng right into action against neighboring rivals to get the experience they will need next year.. , :I! you grads eome back in a year or two, you probably WO!;t1t recognize the , schedules Colonel teams wrn 1b e playing. Arrangements were finally,made to card some of the c>pponents the college has been seek~ng for thJl.past eight years. The quality of t _h e schools on the forthcommg st ,edu.Jes will add prestige to Wilkes-and we will also stack up better agajnst them. The Hawks, winners of the league championship in the regular season, knocked off the Spanish Flyers, 6-4, in the tail end of a twin-bill last night in •K irby Park. Jim Stocker was the winning pitcher, scattering eight hits over the seven innings. Also one of the leading hitters of the game, his bat acc6unted for the first two runs for the Hawks with a double in the · first inning. Howie Gross, manager of the championship club, followed with a single to drive Stocker home. Howie chased him home ahead ahead of him again in the fifth when the Flyers center fielder dropped a long fly in deep center for a four-base error. Stocker added another single in the sixth, to bring his total of hits to three. ' An insuraRce run was added in the seventh with Marshal Jenkins doubling it home. NAVCADS ACCEPT JOHN BRESNAHAN J o h n Bresnahan, outstanding Wilkes basketball and soccer performer, has been accepted for aviation training by the United States Navy. Bresnahan is uncertain of the date he will commence flight training. The Plymouth athlete completed the Navy tests early this month and the date of entry into 'f light training has been left pending his final acceptance of the Navy offer. MAY WE' BF.ST IN PEACE However; we think the fondest memory we will carry away from this year's sports pages is the way the baseball team made us eat our wqds-uttered in a mad midseason moment. We had .t hem all but buried, but they came back and buried us. Couldn't be happier about a mistake! 1 The way the dub is playing now, it looks like they could just keep rolling on forever.

Up to this point your reporter has discussed the requirements for opening the auction and those for responding to a suit bid of one from your partner, also, the one NT opening and its responses trump raise needs and double raise~ and how to reach game when combined holdings total 26 points or so. You will also remember that for ma•j or suit and no . trump games your combined point holding should total 26, but for the minor suit games one should add two or three points for this eleven trick game. . Now we shall qiscuss the competmg -p hase of the auction. This is when the right hand opponent has opened the bidding with a suit bid of one, and it is your turn to call. This is known as the competitive position or the spot where you are g.o ing to compete for ,t he ultimate contract, and you are not satisfied to permit the opponents to reach a maka:ble contract impeded - irt ?rder to buv the privilege of playmg the deal on your terms. There are many ways to compete but we will discuss three of the more common methods of entering the auction. 1. The Takeout Double, requirements for: This call is reserved for hands that hold from 12 to 16 points and rugged support for at least two if not the other three suits such as the following: (opp. has opened with one spade).

You can readily see that each hand easily complies with the regulations for a takeout double. Now your partner has a good picture of your holdings and can take appropriate action when the auction gets around to him. 2. The Overcall in a Suit, such as one spade from the opponent and two hearts, two diamonds, two clubs from you. This is k nown as the Simple Overcall, and it descr ibes a hand holding approximat ely the equivalent of an opening bid or so (13 Friday, Mgy 18, 195' IDC ELECTS OFFICE8S,: KAYE MAKES REPORT by Jerome · Stein The new members of the InterDormitory Council elected officers for the fo rthcoming year at their final meeting last Monday. Jim Moser, freshman chemistry major was elected president, and Judy Menegus, sophomore a·ccounting major, ~ecretary. Representatives to the council were elected two weeks ago by their individual dormitories. The council members for the 1956-57 school year are: Ashley Hall, Jerry Stein and Bob Chase; Warner Hall, Jim Moser and Earl Bahl; Butler Hall Max Friedlander and R. Mattioli: Weckesser Hall, Bill Duffy and Art Rogovin; Sterling Hall, Joan Rishkofski, Mary Eshleman and Car olyn Goeringer ; McClintock Hall, Judy Menegus, Pat Yost and Mary Rose Sadari. Irwin Kaye, outgoing IDC president, presented the first president's report for the organization at the final meeting. Reviewing the year's work, he commented on the success of the numerous IDC projects, such as the annual dormitory-sponsored Christmas party, the Homecoming dance, and the presentation and acceptance of the new organization'z charter. "T nese achievements," declared Kaye, "are exemplifications of the effective tradition the IDC desires to establish at the college.'' The retiring Council head expressed his hope that the relatively new group would continue as suc.c esful an organization as it had proved to be in its first year. Reviewing the Council's cooperation in such affairs as the recen1 Hampton visit, Kaye noted again the effect~veness of the group, and added praise for the two deans who besides being t he Council's ~ eans of contact and cooperation with the administration, also served as advisers for the group. Concluding his r eport, Kaye noted that it was this first Council which laid the foundations and p1·epared the way for ,t he incoming members, who have before them what he hoped would be an even more successful year.

CHANGING SCENE ON CAMPUS - Making good speed on the construction of the Admiral Stark Science Hall workers were going busily about the task of completing the science building while the rest of ;he campus was relatively quiet this s ummer. The foundation has been laid and the basement has been just completed. The new building will ha ve the lecture hall for one of its wings and extend from there toward Chase Hall behind three dormitories: Butler, Ashley and Warner. Construction, which was begun early in July, is expected to reach completion in the pring semester. Nearly 400 Frosh Attend Orientation Week Activities orma Jean Davis For the past few days, as upperassmen have been relaxing and joying their last few days of isure before settling down to as es, nearly 400 freshmen have en occupied by tests, addresses rom members of the college adinistratjon, an introduction to azing, and parties and reeeptions.

The cafeteria service will be available to all students between 9:00-4:00 daily. This will, of course, include both dormitory and day students. ATTENTI ON! This morning finds the frosh again involved in inventory tests. These are expected to last until sometime this afternoon, after which the freshmen girls will attend the annual Coke Party sponsored by Theta Delta Rho. Friday's schedule includes an address by Mrs. Getrude A. Doane, Dean of Women, on "Marks of An E ducat e d Man", Departmental Meetings, and Student Activities. The week will be rounded off by the big "Come and Meet Us" dance Friday night in the gym.

Someone will get in touch with you. Experience is not necessary. A research team headed by Dr. Francis J . Michelini of the college biology department has already commenced preliminary investigations on a basic research ,project on growth that may possibly provide a clue to the cause of cancer in human beings. The 2-year project will operate on an $8,000 grant. The grant, awarded to Dr. Michelini by the National Research Foundation, will go toward the construction of research greenhouses to be added to the now-building Harold R. tark Science Hall. Other monies from the funds, are ear-marked for salaries of student assistants on the project and for summer salaries of Dr. Michelini, chief investigator for the two-year project. The study Dr. Michelini and his assistants are under-t aking will involve the growth process of plants, with special attention being given to the process of differentiation, a process by which the simple singlecelled seed that first forms the plant beeomes the varied and unlike forms of cells in the complicated forms of the plant. The significance of the study lies in the similarity of human cancer spadeful. The building was made posible by an anonymous donaton of $900,000, with the stipulation . that the structure be named in honor .of the Admiral. The demolition of Ashley and Butler Annexes, .t he Art Department rooms and the stairway to the second floor of the Lecture Hall were completed shortly after the start of summer classes. Excavation and construction work have been continuing at a busy pace. When completed, the college will have some of the finest scientific laboratory and classroom facilities in the country. Another development this past summer was the acquisition of theWadham residence at 275 South Franklin Street. The gray stone building is directly across from the gymnasium and has a lot in the rear which will be used for faculty parking facilities. On Wright Street, which runs between South and Ross Streets and is between River and Franklin, the College acquired a lot which has been set aside for student parking. Several old garages on the lot are being torn down at present, and when that is completed there will be space for approximately thirty-five automobiles. The building at 159 South Franklin Street, former home of the Countess Elena DeSilva, has been altered for use by the Art Department. The third floor of the building has been given over· to the Beacon and Amnicola, and the offices of these publications are located there. Mr. Whitby will shortly be moving into his new office in what was formerly ,Chase Lounge and Mrs. Connolly will move into the office vacated by the Reg.istrar. Mrs. Connolly is the College Comptrol~~ . differentiation may provide a clue to whatever may trigger cancer by causing a possible lack which may prevent the cancerous cells from differentiating. Co-operating with the Wilkes group will be an English scientist studying in a Canadian ull'iverstty. Pointing up the international character of such scientific research will be the work of Dr. Victor Runeckles, formerly of the University of London, now at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Runeekles, now working in post-doctoral studies under a grant from the Canadian Science Foundation, as distinguished from the one given Dr. Michelini by the U. S. group, will co-operate with the local Dr. Francis J.

Perhaps some fast friendships have been begun. In this hectic week you have been learning a good deal about how to get around on campus and what is to be expected of you. Your Freshman Handbook and speeches have told you all that. Soon, classes will convene, and with them will come hazing. Usually the period of hazing makes Orientation Week seem routine. "Confusion and mixed emotions" are the order of the day. Every year the group administering the hazing has promised to do all they can to make it constru,ctive and worthwhile. However, each time the result has not been all that it could be. It is improving. So please •b ear with-it. · The frosh have been very good sports in the past and the upperclassmen, we hope, will go about the hazing with a mature, progressive viewpoint. · Hazing should be a constructive time of acquaintanceship with your classmates and the upperclassmen.

Among the many changes, the new lounge will provide a study hall, and for the less studious or those who simply want to relax there is a television set and a coffee On the walls are several original paintings, and the furniture is supplied from both the original lounge at Butler Hall and from former Chase Hall lounge.

LOOK WHO'S BA:CK. A welcome back to all you fellow students and to you athletes, to George Ralston, who after a year's absence, is back as Dean of Men and Director of Athletics, and to Jim Ferris, who after four star-studded years as a Wilkes athlete, has returned to the College sports scene as assistant soccer coach. _ WHAT'S UP, DOC? With the first football game only a little over a week away, lots of action is due to pop around campus. J?ue to all the hustle-bustle of registration and because it is so early m the school year, not all the details have been ironed out; but we can let you kno what we know. 'T'he junior class, like all of us Wilkes well-w.i shers, anxious to see issance of school spirit, has so far taken the lead in setting the , fire. The juniors are planning a bonfire rally and pep session y ];'ark prior to the Wilkes-Hofstra clash and intend to have a g ht parade with the band, cheerleaders, majorettes, and of e, you, there whooping it up . . ,nother mammoth. rally will be the junior-sponsored Kernel Cotton ..... Kin' Pep Rally to be held at the College gym .on the eve of the 28th in preparation for the grid Colonels' battle against Lebanon Valley on the twenty-ninth at Annville. This big contest, the Bologna Bowl, will mark the first time that a Wilkes College athletic team will ever have played in a bowl game. A car caravan, sill in the planning stages, may be used as a means )f conveyance to Annville if student interest · in a caravan is heavy nough. Students sliping down to Annville in a caravan of cars creep,ng ith blue and gold streamers may have a good time honking things up to let people know that Wilke~is in town. If you would like to see a car caravan, or if you would li'j{e. to 1:i-ee your car in a car caravan, get in touch with either Dave Vann or me. While yours truly is not the .p ublicity director for the junior clas.s, one more small item should be recalled. As was mentioned before, all the final arrangements have not been made. As soon as every little thing is settled, the details will be published in the Beacon. Right now, however, is a good time to plan to sup.port the Colonels. This looks like a big year. The football team, drilling hard for their first encounter, may very well come up with a winning season; and their dike counterparts, Coach Reese's hooters, are seeking their fourth straight sweet slate. And Wilkes fans have an opportunity to see the squads play a total of 10 out of nineteen games at home. S o FALK CHOSEN TO HEAD P.11.0. IN N.J.

I h. t onm, or ·. van ·as is paren s November: Nineteen soccer candidates completed their first week of practice yesterday. After four days of conditioning drills, the hooters have donned their shin pads and knee socks for intra~quad scrimmages. Coach John Reese, faced with the prospect of rebuilding his top-notch squad after losing ten men through graduation, continued beefing his charges into shape for their first tilt, which is still three weeks away. The s occer squad will not be at full strength until shortly after registration when additional candidates including four returning lettermen will reinforce the team. Lettermen Ahmed Kazimi, Ed Masonis, Dave Polley, and Tony Bianco will join Jim Stocker and Nick Giordano - these last two mentioned already with a week of practice under their belts to form the nucleus of this year's squad. FERRIS APPOINTED TO ASSIST REESE WITH '56 SOCCER SOUAD Jim Ferris, one of the finest allaround athletes ever to graduate from Wilkes, and one of the spark plugs of coach John Reese's topnotch 1955 soccer squad, has returned to Wilkes this fall to serve Reese again-this time as assistant soccer coach. A native of Kingston, Ferris compiled an enviable record while wearing the Wilkes Blue and Gold. A three-sport letterman, he excelled in soccer, basketball and baseball. In his junior year, he was awarded the Beacon "Athlete of the Year" trophy and the Howie Davis Memorial trophy. Last year he was the first Colonel to be named for the ne:w Outstanding Basketball Player award.

The Colonels are dated for a tengame slate with some of the leading soccer schools in eastern collegiate circles. · The soccermen open their season away at Lafayette on October 4th and then travel to Hofstra on the 6th before returning to Kirby Park for Homecoming Day on the 13th to engage Rider College in the first of five straight games to be played at the home nets in Kirby Park.

Two Former Gridders Named "Decade's Best" In Wilkes P. Ra 0. Poll Al Nicholas, "Outstanding Back of the Decade", and Gerard Washco, "Outstanding Lineman of the Decade", will be presented with trophies on Alumni Homecoming Day, October 13, for being named top Wilkes gridders of the decade by ex-Wilkes football players in a recent poll conducted by the Wilkes College _public relations office. Nicholas, a native of New York, first entered Wilkes in 1949 and became an . immediate sensation. Exceptionally ·e lusive and known for his long runs, Nicholas, scored twenty-four touchdowns while running out of the single-wing tailback slot. Wa,shco, who lives with 'his wife and children in Nanticoke, was the bulwark in the Wilkes line · that came to be known as "The Seven Blocks of Anthracite". . A member of the first Wilkes team in 1946, he played tackle for four years, winding up his brilliant career with We-.i-Y4~'\::-ui:6rreril :wn'o · i~a 'th'e state in scoring. The selection of the two former gridders gives them automatic nomination to the Wilkes Hall of Fame, which the public relations office hopes to •p lace in the gymnasium upon completion of the current building program at Wilkes. Hofstra holds a 4-0 edge over Wilkes in its football series with the Colonels, so Coach Russ Pieton's charges will be doubly anxious to win th eir first from Hofstra as well as notching a victory toward a winning season, This year's reports from Long Island say that the Dutchmen lack depth, but Coach Howdy Myers can. always be counted on to field a-. team which will hold its own in, small college competition. Coach Russ Picton •has built his·: team around 12 lettermen. The· line looks solid and has plenty of experience with Bob "l\fol' Masonis, Bill Farish, J erry Loewen, Bob Yokavonus, Joe Reese, and Neil Dadurka ba~k from last year's squad. Bill Rinken, who played a year of football at Penn State, is also slated for action, as is end Ron Ercolani from Allentown. Ronnie Rescigno, running from the tailback slot, will direct a single-wing attack with Al Manarski, Art Tambur, Dick Wozniak and Sam Puma; all back from last year. Things picked u:p in the Colonel camp on Monday with the addition of four new candidates. The four, all with plenty of experience, are: center Mike Ternowski, back Boyd "Porky" Hoats, guard Jim Stephens, and end Frank Rossi. Mike T e r n o w s k i hails from Kingston High and also played for Wyoming Seminary, plus a hitch with the Seventh Army Headquarters club while in the service in German;)'· . Besides being a topnotch center and line-backer, he is also a fine .p unter and will give Sam Puma a run for that job. "Porky" Hoats was a standout at Meyers last year, both on the grid scene and on the diamond, where he pitched several no-hit games. Jim Stephens is a graduate of Plymouth High and the 185-pound guard will be giving Farish and Masonis a fight for a starting berth. Frank Rossi was a three-sport man at . South Huntington High School in New York, starring in football, wrestling and baseball. After hosting Hofstra, the football team will journey to Annville the following Saturday, September 29, to engage in its first bowl game, the Bologna Bowl, against Lebanon Valley College. The gridders are dated for a ninegame schedule: four of these games are home contests, as compared with only two home ·events last year. The college football fans will thus get to see some· fine smallcollege football.

For you see Mr. George F. Elliot, who last year was acting Dean of Men, is back at his former position as a professor of Economics. When Mr. George F. Ralston, the Dean of Men, returned to Wilkes fter completing study' for his docate at Columbia F1fr1crsity, Mr. ,t left Chase Hall an d returned 1 office in Holl enba ck Hall.

Mr. Elliot reported that classes were running smoothly, and that he was getting back into the routine of classes, lectures, and exams. "A return to Paradise," the former dean stated about his return to the classrooms. His students are glad to welcome such a likeable ,p rofessor back teaching again. Mr. Robert J. Miller Mr. Robert J.

He entered Columbia University FROSH ENROLLMENT SETS N E W RECORD Evidence of the growth of Wilkes College is found in the size of this year's record Freshman class. The enrollment of 380 new students exceeds that of last year by epproximately 40. Transfer students, 20 in number, are included in these totals. Another key factor in the College's expansion is the increase in resident students. The recent acquisition of the Wadham building at 275 So. Franklin St. will make possible another increase in dorm space, which would allow a greater number of these students to be admitted. The building will be adopted as a dorm sometime in the future. Mr. Whitby, Registrar, states that the frosh are fairly evenly divided in their selection of courses. This well 0 balanced proportion does not hold true in all respects however. The exception should gladden the hearts of our co-eds, because the males outnumber the females by a whopping 2 to 1 margin. Good odds in any league.

At last year's Kiwanis-sponsored affair, a slim crowd of 500· heads sat through a rainstorm to see the Colonels tackle the boys from Bloom. Tomorrow's clash-rainstorm or not-should attract a good crowd for several reasons. First of all, the game itself has drawing potential. It looks as if the game is going to be a close, hard-fought contest. Both teams will start out on the same foot, mutually opening each other's seasons. Last year's Colonel grid team was at a disadvantage in its opener for it traded punches with a squad which already had one fight under its belt. Both Wilkes and Hofstra are rather shorthanded. The Flying Dutchmen lack depth in their reserves while the Colonels lack not depth, but manpower. Only twenty-one gridders comprise the Blue and Gold squad, but they will be fighting to capture a victory from Hofstra after four previous fruitless encounters with the Long Island gridders. Secondly, the proceeds of the game are to go for charity. This fact may bring some souls to Kingston Stadium tomorrow night. But if a large attendance is on hand, it will be mainly be~au sc Wilkes College students want to see their team play. We can remember back to last fall and the complaints because the football schedule listed only two home games. Ho hum. . . .

The hooters are at their full s trength as far as manpower is concerned, but Reese is still faced with the problem of whipping his relatively inexperienced charges into shape for the October 4th opener a t Lafavette. At ~ recent squad meeting, Reese told his team that g etting into top shape is half the battle. He emphasized that a new club is bound to make mistakes and lose the ball, so its players must be in too rnnning condition to chase that ball and get it back.

The debate ,t eam is preparing at these meetings for the coming '56'57 season, will debate the question "Should the U. S. discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries ? " The team will have a busy schedule this year, with some ten tournaments slated and several dual meets also listed. Returning to the team from last year's season are Jesse Choper, John Bucholtz, Bruce Warshall and Fred Roberts, who were finalists in the four-man :;;tate tournament in the spring. Also returning are Virginia Brehm, Seymour Holtzman and Frank Lally. Lally won the ·novice tourney at Scranton last year when paired with Warshall. Two newcomers have been added to the roster thus far this year as sophomore Gwen Evans and Robert Beneski join the veterans on the talkers' team. · Backbone of the team this year will be Choper, who last year placed third in ,t he state extemporaneous s·p eaking contest, has won o ver 70 per cent of his debates. An equally important pillar to the team will be Bucholtz, who, with Choper, fills out the senior position on the squad. NOMINATIONS BEING SOUGHT FOR 1 YEAR Of STUDY FOR W.C. HOMECOMING QUEEN In spite of the many attempts the school spirit committee has been making to boost the s•p irit here at Wilkes, it is apparent that interest in campus activities is still lacking. Tom Myers, Beacon editor, stated yesterday that no letters of nomination to select the Homecoming Queen have been received despite his announcement last week. In his editorial last Friday, Myers stated that any student on campus, either day or night, can nominate any Wilkes coed to reign over the Homecoming festivities by writing a "Letter to the Editor", stating the name of the candidate. Nominating letters may be mailed to or left at the Beacon office located at 159 South Franklin Street. All letters must be signed and if fewer than six nominations are received by the closing date, October 8, the editorial staff reserves the right to nominate enough candidates to bring the total to at least six. THE WAY THE BALL BOUNCES (continued from page 3) game. This big game is the Bolog na Bowl and will be ,p layed down in Annvill e, Pa. A car caravan is being organized for this important game. Dave Polley, who is in charge of arrangements, requests that those who can supply cars get in touch with Cliff Brothers, indicating to him if there is passenger space available. Polley also urges passengers to share expenses with the driver. If enough students are interested, buses will also be used as a means of conveyance to Annville. Students should see Sam Puma about this. So by caravan, busbound, or even by TWA, take a weekend off and get down to see that Bologna Bowl. Dr. Konstantin Symmons, Pro- of all Poli sh-British anthropolofessor and chairman of the depart- gist!i. ment of sociology and anthropology at Wilkes, has received a Social Science Research Council Grant. The grant concerns the topic: "Political and Social Thought in Poland Between the Two Wars" in the field of East European studies. Dr. Symmons, who has taught at Wilkes since 1945, received a year's leave of absence. He plans to further his studies in the New York and Washington libraries while making his home in Allentown. His wife has been working as a case-worker in the Family Service of Lehigh County for several years. Receiving his education both in Europe and the United States, he earned an A.M. in European History from the University of Warsaw and a doctorate in sociology from Columbia University.

Gawlas WC Photographer BONFmE PEP RALLY Dr. Kruger's Treatise SPARKED BY COLONEL On Extempore Contest In 2 Speech Journals by Janice Schuster More than three hundred students honored the college football t eam last Thursday n ight at one of the finest activities held at Wilkes in many years. School spirit was at a peak as the crowd displayed eager enthusiasm in cheering loudly to spur the team on to meet Hofstra, the first opponent. A caravan gathered at Gies Hall and paraded to the site of the bonfire with a Wilkes Colonel, portrayby Larry Groninger, in the lead. The noisy group could be heard for several blocks as horns blared and a pick-up band played peppy school songs. Sirens screamed as Kingston firemen joined the gala affair to insure the safety of the pep rally. The students gathered in a large circle around the blazing fire and the ·p e r k y cheerleaders. After much vigorous cheering, Dean of Men George Ralston s·p arked the bonfire crowd as he did an original Indian dance. Ralston, attired in a brightly colored Indian blanket, declared, "This is the finest pep session ah've evah seen here at Wilkes!" Coach Russ Picton and his scrappy football team were introduced to the noisy group by the team cocaptains, Ron Rescigno and Bill Farish. Afterwards, Pat Kennedy and Larry Gr oninger Jed the cheerleaders and the crowd in individual t eam cheers. By the light of the last f ew sparks of the fire , T ed Jones direc t ed everyone in the singing of the Alma Mater. Then Dave Vann, chair man of the rally, instructed the frosh to march back to the campus behind the upperclassmen, who headed the par ade in sporty, new (a nd old) convertibles. Back on campus, the spir ited crowd a ssembled in front of Gies Hall wher e, after a few final cheers, Dan Gawlas, official Wilkes and Beacon photographer, is a vailable on campus in the P.R.O. photo lab. Dan is charged with photographing all s•por t s and social events at the College. He also maintains a private studio in Swoye rville. tho pep se5:;;ic;in rnlminat(ld, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, associate professor of English at Wilkes, has recently been notified that one of his latest articles, "The Extempore Speaking 'C ontest" , is currently appearing in the September issue of two professional journals, The Speech Teacher and The Register of American Forensic Association. Another composition, "The Debate Judge as a ,Critical Thinker", will appear in this month's issue of Today's Speech. This brings the grand total of articles by Dr. Kruger, which have been published, to 13 and the number, which have been accepted, to The dance is to be both square and round, and calling the dance will be two of the area's top callers, Carl Hanks and Harry Wilkie. With their bands the two are wellknown thr oughout Wyoming Valley and have been received with enthusiasm wherever they have gone. It was announced by John Stahl, g eneral chairman of the dance, that during intermission, Sam Lowe will get the ·pep rally underway with the cheerleaders directing yells and songs. Another intermission 'treat' will be a special square dance set composed of John Stahl, Dave Vann, Sam Lowe, and Ted Jones and their partners, who will give an exhibition dance for those less accomplished in the fine arts of stompin' and clappin'. The four have been square dance .enthusiasts for a number of years and they feel that "if we can do it, any one can." Chairman of the dance is John Stahl, who is filling his first spot as general chairman of a dance. In char.ge of ,publicity is Cliff Brothers, chairman of the only standing committee of the Junior class and working with him as a special committee to a ssist in publicity and art work are Larry Groninger, Janice Schuster, and Jackie Oliver. The ticket chairman is Roy Hayward. Maryan Powell, chairman of the refreshment committee, stated that a variety of soda, plus potato chips and pretzels, will be available for the evening's stompers.

It was a great indication that the School Spirit Committee is doing the job it set out to do. The students really responded. The· rally got no coverage on these pages, much to our regret, since it was an off-again, on-again affair, due to the difficu~ties encountered in securing a suitable place to hold it. Limitdtions of time and space had to be considered. In the end, the site selected turned out to be ideal for the type of rally. The planners received excellent cooperation from the King~ton Police and Fire Departments, who went along in their usual gracious and courteous manner. A vote of thanks is hereby extended to those worthy gentlemen. The parade was fairly well planned and executed, although it looked rather haphazard. Too many automobiles. Perhaps for the next one (and after the fine job done, a next one seems inevitable) some semblance of a marching parade can be arranged, with the band and the students all marching. Perhaps with torches. If anyone is to ride, let's make it the members of the team. After all, they are the ones who are being honored. . All in all, the rally was quite a success. It showed that the students at Wilkes are capable of putting on a good show. Let's have more.

The council discussed plans for several projects and formed committees to take action on three major iss ues. Ron Tremayne, Ginny Brehm, Larry Amdur and Don Reynolds are the committee responsible for the improvement of the parking lot on the northwest corner of South Franklin and South Streets. They will meet with Dr. Farley to see if the curbing around this property can be removed or lowered. This would relieve the difficulty encountered by the users of this lot in entering and leaving. The council will meet with Dr. Reii, who is chairman of the Wilkes College United Fund Committee. This year, the fund is expanded to include more charities thereby cutting down the number of times the student body will be asked to contribute to local organizations. The tentative goal is set at $2,000 to be equally divided between the student body and the faculty. With the enrollment of the college at nearly 1,000, the amount •per student will be approximately one dollar, while the faculty will be asked to donate slightly less than seven dollars per person. Still in the formulative stage is an All-College dance to be held late in November. In an effort to promote interest in intercollegiate activity on a social level, the council discussed the possibility of forming a male vocal quartet to enter into competition with similar groups from other colleges. If such a unit materializes, it is planned to introduce them to the student body as part of the entertainment at the All-College dance.

During the meeting, it was decided that Cue 'n' Curtain will present three one-act plays during the semester. The dates of the ,p roductions will be announced in the Beacon. After the formalities of the meeting were over, the freshmen members were entertained with a showing of slides made from last year's musical comedy, "Bloomer Girl".

Small as college linemen go, Farish never-the-less cast a tall s_hadow last Saturday night as his spe'ed and aggressiveness hi,g hlighted his performance out of his guard spot. . In o·n e particular sequence of four plays, ··Farish was seen to make three straight tackles and then: pounce on a Hofstra fumble. The defeat suffered by the Colonels in the se~ond ' half of the game Saturday night was one for which we lay the responsibility right in the lap of the Administration. ·. 1n three weekf.3, a very short time, Russ Picton .triec:l to weld cm in!ercollegiate foptball team <iH1t of.

NOWlll And before someone brings up the old barb about not being a football foundry, we would like to be put on record_as not aa~ vacating the hiring of Waldorf, Tatum, or Brennan. They alIready have jobs and that's not the type of .football for Wilkes. But it seems a shame that a group of men; who want nothing and get nothing for playing ball, except the fun of the sport, should not have the help they need to be welded into a team. The potential of this year's Colonels is great. Th~y have the drive, desire, and the native ability. . But one man .can't see all and do all.

And Ralston has · seen som e pretty good football teams. Because last Saturday's tilt was the first game, the boys were naturally fiervous. When a person is nervous, he tends to tire easily. Then along came two quick touchdowns that took the heart out of the Colonels.. You saw what followed. But so what? The game was played last Saturday. We don't pretend to make excuses, and we don't mean that the team won't lose any more games. •But we expect to see Picton's charges in some pretty good contests. If we may s_uggest a happy parallel, the 1955 soccer squad copped only one victo1·y in their first five starts. Then they caught fire to chalk up a 5-3-3 season, the best record ever com1iiled by a Wilkes soccer team. ODDSERVATIONS . . .

Looking for their first win over Lafayette in the soccer wars against the Leopards, the Blue and Gold hooters will field a relatively new and inexperienced club. Coach John Reese has been faced with the prospect of rebuilding his top-notch 1955 squad after losing ten men through graduation.

In the second half, Hofstra's Charley Pease ran back the opening kickoff for 89 yards and a TD. After that, it was all Hofstra. Included in the final scoring was a blocked punt and a recovery for a touchdown, a 59-yard run through the middle of the Colonel line, and a safety.

College Men * * * * by Cliff Kobland The Colonel grid squad moves down to Annville, Pa., this Saturday to encounter some more Flying Dutchmen; this time, the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley College. The game sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Lebanon, will be the first bowl game that a Blue and Gold squad will have ever participated in. This one is the annual Bologna Bowl game, played every year at Lebanon. The Colonels will be looking for their first victory of the season, after taking a beating last Saturday night at the hands of some, other Flying Dutchmen team, those of Hofstra College.

And from all reports, Lebanon Valley looks good. As Lebanon Coach Ellis R. McCracken puts it, "Prospects are the brightest since I have been coach at L.V.C." And Coach McCracken has some good reasons to be happy. He has 16 returning lettermen and has a very fast backfield headed by a youngster who ,w as ineligible last year beacuse h e transfered from Dartmouth. His name is Dick Smith, and he will be seeing plenty of action at the fullba ck slot. Besides a fast and powerful backfield, L VC has a good line spearheaded by diminutive guard Joe Toy with two fine ends in Glenn Thomas and Ross Plasterer. The Bologna Bowl starts at 8 P.M.

The Beacon, headed by Torn Myers, and the school spirit committee under Dave Vann, have been working to get full co-operation of all the students while Jack Curtis and Russ Picton have b.e en doing the same with the Alumni. So, all in all, this should be the best remembered event of the football season. The event will begin at 6 :30, when the student body will assemble on Chase Lawn to watch the Freshmen carry Jud to his crema tion at the bonfire at Baldwin field. There, Ron Rescigno, football captain, will light the bonfire and begin the pep rally. The football and soccer teams will be ,p resented, and their captains and coaches will speak. It is also believed that Al Nicholas and Gerard Washco, WC back and lineman of the decade, respectively, will be there. The festivities will be highlighted by the presentation of the third annual homecoming queen and her princesses. The queen ,will be escorted to h er throne by Colonel Wilkes and the princesses by Ahmad Kaz imi and Bill Farish. Perhaps we should mention h ere that anyone who has not nominated a homecoming queen candidate and wishes to do so, please drop a letter to the Beacon editor. After all, this is your queen. Finally, the Freshmen will cremate poor "Jud", who, after all he's been through dese rves some pal'ticipation in th ese royal festiviti es. The bonfire will be ended by a parade to the Wilkes gym . Gil Gregory, parade ch airman, anno unced this s.c hedule. The queen and princesses will lead the parade wit h Dr. Farley and the Deans.

Pictures, maps and books tell the story of Wilkes-1Barre and its development from the sleepy agricultural town it was 15 years ago to the industrial city it is today. ·Coal mining, transportation, industry, buildings, disasters and entertainment are all features of this graphic glimpse of local history, past and present. The main sources of the pictures are the Historical Society, Ace Hoffman Studios, the Wilkes-Barre Transit ·Corporation, Ralph DeWitt and Gilbert McC!intock, as well as other residents of the Valley. The hours are 3 to 5 P.M. and 7 to 9 P.M. today and 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. on Saturday and Sunday at the Osterhout Library Annex. 8 Four Big Changes City Police Set .Ban Don Reynolds_, president of the Student Council, announced on Tuesday that several new procedures for student activities will be instituted on the campus. In a meeting held at Harding Lounge, the council decided that in the future, all requests for organizational funds will follow a standard pattern. Forms will be available from Treasurer Larry Amdur. Requests must be made in person. United Fund co-chairmen Neil Dadurka and Ed Kotula and Don On Overt1·me Parking During the •past months the City officials have tried to accomodate Wilkes ·College students by extending many courtesies and by offering every possible consideration. Unfortunately, a few students have taken advantage of the desire of the <City officials to cooperate and have abused the courtesies that have been extended. In consequence, it is now necessary for the police to enforce the law - to the letter. Starting Monday, October 8, cars parked on South Ri ver Street after 4 P.M. will be towed away - costs $5.00, plus $2.50 for the ticket; and cars in prohibited areas or parked beyond the time allowance will .be tagged and a $2.50 fine will be collected. City and Police officials regret that this action is necessary, but they cannot keep traffic moving or serve the other citizens of the city without enforcing the traffic laws. They w ill appreciate your cooperation for they derive no pleasure from fining any student.

Tonight's skit is another original one which should also prove to be very enjoyable. George Weaver and Tom Dreisbach were appointed by President Leslie P. Weiner as gen eral cochairm en of the dance.

Scheduled also in the curriculum are movies, re search projects, and outings. NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS Since the first meeting of the Tribunal, I have received conflicting comments from students regarding the character of hazing and its effect upon the entire student body. Several persons have informed me that the hazing has been handled by the ,proper committees and by the students in a constructive fashion. Others inform me that certain individuals have formed "kangaroo courts" and are y_iolating hazing policies established by the Student Council. These students sho uld recognize that in so doing they are placing themselves in op pcsition to the representatives of th e student body and to the Administration of the College. I have been happy to hear, however, that the Stud ent Council is trying to correct thes e abuses and hope that the stud ent body will support their elected representatives in checking abuses of the plans developed by their own responsible representatives. Signed, Eugene S. Farley President �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - Homecoming Pep Rally The School Spirit Committee has lined up an excellent program for the bonfire rally to be held the night before the Homecoming game. The Queen and the Princesses will be crowned. Both the soccer and football squads will be present. We may even see Al Nicholas and Gerard Wash co in attendance. Plans are being worked out for a snake dance (perhaps by torchlight) over to the rally by the frosh. As you can see, quite a bit of planning and work have been put into this . by the persons involved. There are a few things they would like to see YOU do. l. Leave your cars on campus. Or if you don't want to walk over and watch the snake dance or even participate in it, stay out of the homeward parade with your car. 2. Attend the rally. 3. Cheer at the rally. Everything else has been done for you. You. need only to cheer the teams on. Let's have some fine co-operation on this and make this Homecoming one that will be long remembered.

STETZ~• ~ The Wilkes College Mixed Chorus is to be featured on the Parents' Day Program, which · will take place Sunday, October 14. Mr. Ferdinand Liva will be director of the chorus again this year. Audrey Bartlett, sophomore, will be filling the shoes of Ruth Remley, former accompanist for the chorus. Miss Bartlett, having studied piano for 13 years, is exceptionally •Well qualified for this position. As a result of winning no less than four superior ratings as pianist in auditions for the Northeastern Federation of Music Clubs, Audrey plans to give a recital for the Federation tomorrow in Dushore, Pa. Also, next Spring, Miss Bartlett plans to represent Wilkes by entering the Young Artists Competition at Pittsburgh. Ml'. Liva is pleased with the many new voices added to the chorus this year, the Music Department is larger than ever with more than its share of the new freshman class. The Mixed Chorus plans to sing many new numbers this year, largely in the same style as in the past, with a few of the old favorites repeated. WC Male Chorus to Use St. Stephen's Church For Evening Rehearsal by Richard J. Myers Same Lowe, director of the Male Chorus, announced on Tuesday that the usual three hours of reharsal each week will be augmented by an additional session. The tentative time will ,be every Monday evening at St. Stephen's Church. Lowe said that this year the Chorus, with nearly forty men, is too large to be able to have satisfactory rehearsals in the three onehour lunch ,p eriods through the school week. Several of the members have noon classes on various days. In order to have a fuller representation and more thorough coverage of the material to be used this year, the evening meetings are being scheduled. Lowe also announced that the members are planning to hold their Annual Fall Festival sometime in the near future. No definite plans have been made as yet, but the members are urged to submit any suggestions concerning the type of affair they would like tp have. Because this is one of the group's two major social events of the year, the men are asked to give their full support to make the party a successful one. Several new numbers have been added to supplement such old favorites as the Fred Waring arrangements of "Battle Hymn of the Republic'' and "Dry Bones", traditional college songs and selections from musical comedies.

A feature of the evening was a beautiful display of dolls by Elnora Metroka. This year, as one of its charity •p rojects, the sorority will dress dolls for Christmas for the Salvation Army. Qualifications for membership were reviewed, and a history of the sorority was read. Freshman Revolt Slopped al Slarl; Funeral Monday All of Wilkes College was in mourning on Monday, for "Jud" was laid to rest. Many curious upper-classmen as well as the lowly freshmen paid homage to the guest of honor, "Jud". For those who don't know, "Jud" is a dummy which was hung in effigy by the freshman class, representing a sophomore tribunal member. This was the froshs' last sign of active resistance to the haz-· ing program. Since then they have accepted the dictates of the upper-classmen and have entered intq the fun and enjoyment of the hazing program. But back to the funeral. Jud laid in state on Chase Lawn from 10 until noon. His casket, although not pretentious, was the hearty work of two upperclassmen, Carroll Davenport and Warren Glass. At noon the services for the dummy began. All freshmen were obliged to visit the casket and "button" before the "deceased". Then under the direction of Johnny Saba and other tribunal members the freshmen escorted the casket of "Jud" on a last trip around the campus . and back to Chase Hall, and so went "Jud" to rest. This was the first attempt of the sophs to regain their control after the Student Council had pre-empted last Thursday's Tribunal meeting to bring the freshmen under control. The meeting was well attended by both upperclassmen and freshmen. Don Reynolds stated that this hazing program can be a success only if all .the student .body participate. All upperclassmen are asked to co-operate with the tribunal from now until the conclusion of the hazing period. "The hazing program is not a time to settle ,p ersonal grudges," commented Reynolds. So let's keep the rest of the hazing period free from grudge or vengeance punishment. · Freshmen should be only punished for real offenses not imaginary ones. Reynolds stated that tribunal meetings will be held every Thursday in the Gym at 11 o'clock. All freshmen are obliged to attend and an attendance check will be made. So from now on let's make the hazing period a success. To do this it is necessary for ,b oth upperclassmen and freshmen to lend whole-hearted support to Johnny Saba and his sophomore tribunal members. NEED MONEY?

With Ronnie With only one day of rest after yesterday's clash with Lafayette, the Colonel kickers will leave for Hempstead later .this afternoon for tomorrow's contest with the Hofstra College hooters. The team will stay at Hofstra overnight and then will face .their hosts the followi1:1g morning at 11 o'clock on the soccer field. - Coa~h John Reese has been pleased with the way the squad is shaping up. The line has looked sharp and is starting to play as a unit, and · the backfield has shown plenty of spirit and fight. Reese's netmen are anxious to cop Saturday's tilt as the two following games are with Rider, a t eam which always gives Wilkes a tough time, and big-time Temple, which perennially fields a powerhouse. Soccer is a big s,p ort out Long Island way, and Hofstra always comes up with a strong squad. Last year's meeting between the two schools saw_ Wilkes notch a 3-2 victory in ii tight tussle._ Playing in their second-straight Kiwanis-sponsored game, against another team of Flying Dutchmen, this time from Lebanon Valley, the Co 1 o n e 1 s suffered their secondstraight setback, this .time by a score of 3·9-6, at Lebanon last Saturday night. Completely fooled by the faking and passing of Valley's capable quarterback, Dom Garda, the Blue and Gold was never in the ballgame. Garda threw two quick TD passes late in the first quarter and early in the second. Then, the Dutchmen tallied once -before intermission and led at the half, 20-0. Leading 26-0 by virtue of another Valley score, the Colonels broke into the scoring column in Rescigno i;idelined by a bad leg, the tailhack chores were shared by Ray Yanchus and Dick Wozniak. Wozniak was the man who sparked the Colonel touchdown drive that started on the Blue and Gold 18 and ended in the Valley end zone with "Woz" tossing to end Neil Dadurka for the score. But ·t he Colonels were too far behind to pose any serious threat to Lebanon. The game was the sixth annual Bologna Bowl_ a nd th e fir st bo~l game that Wilkes has ever part1cipated in. This was also the first win in six tries in the Bologna Bowl for the Flying Dutchmen. In a post-game ceremony, Wozniak received the outstanding player award for Wilkes and Dom Garda won a like award for Lebanon. AND VARIETY SHOP Books - Supplies • Novelties Subscriptions Hours:· 9°12 - Administration Fiddles, Fans Burn Anyone who attended the Bologna Bowl last Saturday night at Lebanon, saw dramatic proof of what we contended in this space last week. A strong Lebanon Valley College squad romped over our Colonels, 39-6. But the Lebanon club isn't that strong. _ However, the line of the Colonels showed up very poorly. Playing straight football, the Dutchmen went nowhere. But on any play they ran that involved more than elementary play, the Wilkesmen were easily deceived. On several screen passes, the offensive set up the Colonels in a way that would have been beautiful to watch, if you were not a Wilkes fan. The line looked mostly good on defense, although they pulled a few rocks. The ·pass defense and the backfield ,defensively were poor. Coach Russ Picton has done a fine job in the time he has had available. He deserves a lot of credit for the unit he has formed. But he has not enough time to cover all the subtleties of line play, work with his backs, run scrimmages, and so forth ad infinitum, every day.

The raffle is primarily the means by which the Lettermen cover the usual deficit incurred in their dances each year - namely, the April Showers Ball ( semi-formal) and the -Christmas Formal. Neil Dadurka, president of the club, stated that since these dances are not to make money for the club, but rather for the benefit of the student body, it is urged that everyone help the Lettermen by buying as many ticke_ts as he can. Prices of the tickets are ten cents each, three for a quarter, and a dollar per ·book. Tickets may be purchased from any Letterman. Friday, October OA. T.Co.

An ankle injury which kept speedster Ronnie Rescigno out of action in the disastrous s econd half against Hofstra forced the Blue and Gold's biggest scoring threat to sit out the entire Lebanon Valley contest. Ron was joined on the sidelines by stalwart guard Bob Masonis, who had suffered a hand injury. One bright prospect is tha:t both boys will soon be back in action. DICK WOZNIAK 'ATHLETE OF WEEK' FOR BOLOGNA BOWL PERFORMANCE COSTLY MISTAKES. It was costly mistakes that cost the the Colonels the Bologna Bowl loss . And these mistakes were defensive errors made by the line-backers and by the backfield. The forward wall was rough. All its members played a steady, hard Wins Kiwanis Trophy As Leading Colonel In Press-Coach Ballot game. Four of the six touchdowns scored against the Colonels came on pass plays or as a result of pass plays. Except for Sam Puma, who did a neat job of backing up the line, the defense past the line of scrimmage was weak. It was here that we saw several costly mistakes in pass defense made. LACK OF TALENT. Lack of talent, we feel, is only 4 per cent of the footballers' trouble. We sincerely believe that the team is high in potential. Of course, Picton could always use n ew faces on his squad to give some deµth to the team. LACK OF A LINE COACH. The Colonel line has looked good in the two games ,p layed to date; but with a line coach drilling the forward wall, perhaps Picton could turn most of his time into correcting the defense weaknesses in the backfield. George Rlaston has given some of his free time to drill the line; Al Nicholas spent his week-long vacation doing the same; and in between time, co-captain Bill Farish has been putting the line through its paces. A full-time line coach, whom the players deserve, certainly would not hurt the team or the school's name as a non-football factory. LACK OF HUSTLE. We think that the team's hustle has been great. We feel that hustle and spirit are all-important as some games can almost be won on spirit alone. We saw the team stop for a breather only once - after Hofstra's first two quickies. Someone remarked to me that the team isn't giving me very much praise-worthy material to say. To paraphrase John Paul Jones's famous remark, "I have just begun to write." I hope. JUST SLIPPING AROUND THE EDGES . No use kicking . . . Jim Stocker, running at outside right on the soccer team, has a wicked foot; but he often fails to keep his toe down when kicking for the goal. Consequently, he sometimes lofts the -b all over the nets instead of into them. At a recent scrimmage, Stocker changed his tactics as he used his usually weak head - no insult intended, Jim - to score a neat goal and to bounce some neat passes to his mates. After the scrimmage, Stocker jokingly announced that in future games he was going to head everything that came his way even if it was rolling on the ground. Quick like a bunny ... With the ball one yard away from a touchdown, the football team was so anxious to score against Lebanon Valley that on their fourth down, the Colonels did not_calmly file from their huddle in their snaky pattern. They just ran up to the line of scrimmage, took their places, and banged over. That's our Zack ... Zack Zachman, the hooters' student manager, was heard to say the following after soccer practice had ended for the day : "I guess I'll take two laps 'cuz I'm goin' to a farmer dance tonight, and I don't want to get tired too fast." SPORTS EDITORIAL (continued from page 4) easily resent it. We have enough difficulties without adding dissention to the woes of coach Russ Picton. · So, the only alternative we can see is to find a lirie coach. The Colone1s deserve more of a break from the Administration than they've been getting. The fans we've talked to are all of the same mind.

For his sparkling efforts against Lebanon Valley in the Bologna Bowl, Dick not only r eceived our acclaim, but he also was presented with a trophy from the spon sors of the game for being the outstanding player on th e field for Wilkes College. Dick, called on to fill the vacancy caused by Ronni e Rescigno's leg injury, did a more than adequate job. Besides taking over as field general, Wozniak led the Colonels' attack with 91 yards in 23 carries. After Dick had spear-headed an 85-yard drive withnis running, he flipped a short pass to end Neil Dadurka for the lone Wilkes touchdown . Coach Picton, although disappointed in the final outcome of the game, was pleased with .the job Wozniak turned in. Russ feel s that Dick has the potential to develop into one of the finest tailbac:ks we've ever had. The brightest aspect of all is that Dick, who is a junior, did such a fine job even though the position of tailback is comparatively new to him. He ordinarily works out of the halfback's spot. Dick, w hile attending Nanticoke Hi.g h School, lettered in baseball as well as football. Here at Wilkes, h e is majoring in Commerce and Finance. TUXEDOS TO RENT Special Price To Studenta 198 SO.
