The former record for an individual basketball player was held by Len Batroney. In the 1952-53 season, Len hit for . 471 points. In their home finale against Hari,ur at the WHkes gym, the Davismen teamed up with Morgan to register the season's highest score. The goal by Morgan that put the ,Colonels at the century mark for the second time this year was the goal that eclipsed Batroney's rec,ord. Morgan connected for a total of 41 ,p oints in that contest, bringing his season's mark up to 47!) points with one more game left on the Blue and Gold schedule. George scored four more goals after the basket that made him the new scoring champ. Then Coach Eddie Davis took him out of the :game with only seconds remaining for a well deserved, standing ovation py the happy home fans. Morgan's work on the hardwood <:ourt has been superlative all year. The six-foot-four junior has been a defensive power for Wilkes as well. He averages around 16 rebounds per game, and is constantly in the fight for a loose ball. In the listings of the Official Service Bureau of the National Coll egiate Athletic Association, George rates tenth in the nation in fi eld goal percentage with a healthy 54.1 ,p er cent. These figures were released on February 23, which means that he may well be ranked higher by this date. Also listed were the top twenty scorers in the country. At the t ime of the release, Morgan's 3,76 points were good enough to rate him ninth in the nation in that department. Following his 41-point performance, the final statistics released by YEARBOOK STAFF SEEKS STUDENT AID by Toni Scurernan 'l'his year the editors of the Amnicola are hoping to p u b 1 i s h a memorable yearbook. Their plans include an additional use . of color which, of course, require additionaJ :fa,.nds. The yearbook staff is ask:i ng for student cooperation in this endeavor. Every year the yearbook has had patrons who ha ve contributed $1.00 e ach. This year, however, they are stepping up the campaign because of the more pressing need. The class councils have agreed to help the staff in soliciting gunds. Each class council has a tentative quota of $100 which will be m et by contributions of the members of the respective class. The name of each patron will be printed at the back of the yearbook. Neil Dadurka, director of the campaign, urges the students to cooperate. Each contribution will help to achieve an improved Arnnicola, BREAKS RECORD Nip Second Place Mules By Margin of 2 Points In Gettysburg Tourney by Dick Myers, Sports Editor The Wilkes College wrestlers lived up to their pre-tourney status as favorites and came out on top of the heap at Gettysburg College last Saturday night. Although the Colonels could not produce an individu~ champion, they piled up points in the early rounds, placed six of their eight entrants in the running for the first three places, then hung on to capture the team trophy. Four of these men were in the finals. At 123 pounds, Keith Williams dropped a heart-breaking, double-overtime decision to Tom Carlson of Lafayette. In the semi-finals, "Skeet" pulled a major upset in defeating Art McCall of Temple in one of the most thrilling bouts of the day. McCall was top-seeded _in the 1_23pound class, but Williams executed a take-down m the first period and allowed only a neutral for the rest of the bout. WINNING COACH George Morgan the Bureau will probably continue to show him well up among the individual leaders in national small college basketball. George is seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce and Finance here at Wilkes, majoring in Business Administration. The 21 -year old Plymouth native, like his coach, Eddie Davis, is a g raduate of Plymouth High School, and was an outstanding • player there, having been named to the Wyoming Va 11 e y All~Conference basketball team.

Wilkes. The fine representation ~f Wilkes fans saw another of their heroes fall in the second match of the finals. In the 130-pound class, Jim W a r d, after trimming two-time winner of the Middle Atlantic 130pound crown, Bob Wamsley of Gettysburg, met John Orr of Drexel. Jim had been leading all the way in the bout, and with less than one m i n u t e remaining in the third period, got Orr in a pin hold. Suddenly, the tide turned, Orr reversed the hold and Jim was trapped. With only 21 seconds remaining in the bout, the referee's hand came down and Jim was pinned. Don Reynolds put up a gallant fight in the 1'3 7-pound division, but in a tie match with a minute remaining, Don was .b ehind in riding time and went for the take-down. Again the Colonels' hopes were reversed as Don himself was taken down with less than 3·0 seconds remaining. The two points thus gave Dick Padula enough to take the bout by a 5-3 count.

The book is supported by the extra-curricular activities fund and its advertisers, but the cost of publication for the type of book is high and the budget set by the Student Council has been exceeded at this point. Therefore, since the book is for the students, the staff of the Amnicola is asking the students to be patrons of the yearbook. The cost is low, only a dollar, so let's all get in the act. P. S. - It will also put your name in the book one more time. What's in a Name? The Test Tube Trot. The Formaldehyde Frolic. The Sliderule Swing. And so forth, ad nauseum. Wilkes organizations seem to prefer this type of nomenclature for their dances. We print the titles, but so far have refrained from commenting on the situation. And now, we are saved the effort, since the Utica College Tangerine, in a column titled The Campus Beat, beat us to the punch. The item read: "Wilkes College is holding The Formaldehyde Frolic, sponsored by the Biological Society. It will be a square dance in every respect." To which we can only add: Amen! The Power of Positive Thinking It seems that nearly every student government body in intercollegiate circles is struggling with the problem of "school spirit". Here at Wilkes, the problem received considerable attention during the past semester. . Thanks to the backing of the Student Council and the able leadership of committee chairman Dave Vann, the Wilkes School Spirit Committee performed admirably. The group gave the college some of the finest pep rallies seen here in the past five years. At Utica College, also in an issue of the Tangerine, we learned that the Student Senate recently named an Apathy Committee. One would think that such a group would be at a disadvantage to start. We would suggest a more positive approach, beginning with a new and more forward-looking title. -tim STUDENTS RECEIVE POLIO INOCULATION before the doctors who efficiently injected the precious serum.

Although sales was only one of the many jobs he felt he could handle, this kind of selling(IBM machines are as much an idea as a product)-promised to occupy every talent he possessed.

In the Harpur gam e, about the only cause for excitement was the breaking of the Wilkes individual season's scoring record. George Morgan dropped in 41 points to crack the mark form erly held by Len Batroney. George now has 479 points, eight more than Batroney's 1952-53 effort. Sokol scored 16 points and Turley hit for 15 in ringing up the 109-60 rout. Tomorrow night's road performance will .be the final game for the Colonels, who have accomplished their goal of turning in a winning season. Their record is now eleven wins and eight losses. Most of the losses were close affairs, with a couple of extra-period games, so th e record is deceptive.

Gene's thoughts on competition: "The entire Office Machine Industry feels the lead pencil is the biggest competitor. You've no idea how many time-consuming clerical jobs can be mechanized, thus freeing people for important, creative jobs. IBM's success in the field is due to service, knowledge, 'know-how'."

Meanwhile, the Wilkes novice team of Armand Caruso and Gwen Evans fared better at the annual Scranton Novice Tournament, winning all three of its debates and taking home the beautiful first ,p lace Noel Chaba:nel Trophy. In what is considered to be the toughest debate tourney in the country outside of the National Tournament at West Point, the Bucholtz-Choper duo defeated Harvard, Yale, and Brandeis, while dropping close decisions to Bowdoin, -St. Anselm's, and Vermont. Vermont, winner of the District VII Tournament last year and a quarter-finalist in the West Point Nationals, gained sweet revenge in decisioning Wilkes, the only team to .beat them in both the Boston and Harvard tournaments last year~ Vermont managed to edge Wilkes by t he scant margin of two points out of a possible sixty. The Wilkes team placed seventh in a field of 28 and received a Certificate of Merit for its efforts at Boston.

Before the meeting terminated, two m embers, Larry Amdur resigned a chairmanship and Les Weiner resigned from his elected position as .p arliamentarian. Larry Amdur's decision to resign as Chairman of the Constitution Committee was not wholly unexpected. Amdur explained to the Council that personal obligations, such as outside work, make it impossible for him to continue serving his chairmanship efficiently. L es Weiner's resignation, however, was tot a 11 y unexpected. Weiner withdrew from his office as parliamentarian since he felt that parliamentary procedure was being violated. At previous meetings, the Council voted not to engage singer Steve Lawrence for the forthcoming Cinderella Ball. However, Larry Amdur challenged the decision by recalling the issue to the floor for a re-vote. This resulted in Weiner's action, since the balloting was tied and Don Reynolds, Council president, cast the deciding vote against bringing the issue to the floor. In a statement to the Beacon, Weiner said, "The issue of having Steve Lawrence sing at the Cinderella Ball has brought before the Council a problem in parliamentary procedure. "'U~ until this issue was .brought before the Council, it was my opinion that the Student Council was being run a<:cording to Roberts Rules of Orders, Revised, which it was my duty to enforce. " The Coun cil has, in my opinion, refused to follow these rules on this issue; and therefore, I submitted my resignation to protest this unprecedented action." The Council voted to reimburse promoter Len Brader for the expenses he incurred while obtaining Steve Lawrence for the Ball. Jim Stevens, engineering student, represented the engineers and stated that the latter department do es not want to .b e listed with the seniors in their sophomore year. Consequently, the request will be taken into consideration for amendment in the student constitution. Two campus clubs, the CC-UN and the Chemistry Club, were . allotted funds to attend conferences.

Co-chairmen Rose Weinstein and Marilyn Carl have been busy sending out invitations to all the local high schools. The sorority expects a large representation from each school to attend the Tea. This annual affair, in conjunction with the Washington's Birthday Tea, -is held to acquaint high school girls wit_h the Wilkes campus and the soronty members. A tour of the campus has .b een arranged for the guests after the T ea. The girls will be shown through McClintock and Sterling HaJ.J s.

ENGINEERS' DANCE TO FEATURE COMBO by Gail E. MacMillan The Engineering Club will hold its second dance of the year tonight in the gym. The dance entitled ''The Slide Rule Swing" is named after the much used instrument of all engineers. Jerry Stephens, club president, is chairman of the affair and hasi appointed the other officers to assist him. They are: Tony Coray, vice president; James Owen, secretary; and Ted Ko,w alski, treasu~er. Also assisting are the following committees: Publicity, Peter Pisaneschi, chairman, Robert Boravich and Stanley Novak; refreshments, Bart Sokol, chairman, Frank Blan ow ski, Nick Keller, and Lee Eckert; tickets, Ted K o w a 1 s k i, chairman, Joseph Sincavage, Art Belles, Tony Coray, Nelson Stauffer, and Nick Siecko; decorations, Tony Coray, chairman, Paul Cera, and Norman Tabor.

The new election will take place next Tuesday from twelve until three o'clock in the cafeteria, and t he voting will be supervisedthat is, a Beacon member will furnish ballots to each person as he votes, and will use a student roster to prevent any "honest" student from voting twice. Lynn Boyl e, a pert blue-eyed blonde, comes to W i 1 k e s from Kingston High School where she was active in dramatics, athletics, and the school publications. Although she is only a freshman at the coll ege, she is active in Theta Delta Rho and the college band. Mary Homan, a suave, brownhaired lass who resides at McClintock Hall is aJso one of the proud possessions of the freshman class. A Medical Technology stud en t, Mary is a representative on the S t u d e n t ,Council, the Freshman Class Council, and Theta Delta Rho. Nancy Frey, another blonde, blue-eyed bea,u ty on campus, is the only upperclassman in the trio. Nancy, who is an English major, is active in the college sorority, Th eta Delta Rho, a nd modeled in the sorority's spring fashion show last year. She was graduated from G.A.R. High School where she was a drum majorette and newspaper editor. Although the Beacon has mentioned this fact many times before, we feel that the importance of this warrants repetition-this is not a popularity contest. Students a1:e urged to judge students on the basis of imagination, use of accessories, personal grooming, and just plain "common sense." We think we have one of "the" well-dressed women on ca,mpus, and we hope that the students have the interest to help us prove it. SOFTBALL LEAGUE SEEKING ENTRIES John Reese, Director of Intramural Sports, has announced that all persons interested in playing softball should begin to assemble their teams. Team captains will be required to present their squad rosters to Mr. Reese as soon as they a,r e able, in order that schedules may be drawn up. Th ere are no requirements fo,r entrance into the softball leagues except having enough players to field a t eam. Anyone who is interested in acting as an umpire is urged to contact Mr. Re ese at once. When all teams have .been made up and rosters submitted, a m eeting of team captains will be announced. At this meeting, schedul es will be a,rranged, student officials and directors will be ap,p ointed, and rules governing the conduct of the games will be explained. FOOTBALL PLAYERS Voting for co-ca·p tains and the Joseph G. Gallagher award will take place all day Monday in Mr. Picton's office, third floor, Chase Hall. Be sure to vote! �Friday, March 15, 1957 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS - Three One-Act Plays Cast EDITORIAL-- Orchids The fine work of six biology majors in preparing research papers for the Eastern Colleges Science Conference, being held this weekend, will again put Wilkes in the academic spotlight. Four of the papers were prepared as by-products of the research project being conducted in the college's Biological Research Laboratory. Dr. Sheldon Cohen supervises the laboratory. This is another example of the fine work being done by the science students of the campus and should be a sign of future achievements which will come when the completion of the Stark Science Building improves the facilities of the science departments. Our congratulations to Les Weiner, Jerry Stein, Vince Drapiewski, Sam Mines, George Weaver and Sam Puma. *** * * Manners and Parking While our athletic teams have made favorable impressions with their good manners and fair play at home and away, the rest of the students have been quite lax here at home. One has but to park one's car in the student parking lot at South Franklin and South Streets to find this out. Through common courtesy one would expect a person blocking another car in to leave the key in the cor. This is unusually done. However, it would also be nice if those who take cars out of the lot would put the cars they move back in proper places. We do not mean that each car should be put back in the same spot from which it came, but that they be returned to the lot so that anyone wanting to repeat he procedure may do so without a major feat of engineering. It all boils down to the Biblical philosophy: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ***** Ah-h-h Spring!

Notre Dame Scholastic �Friday, March 15, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON. 5 Tattoo's Top First Round Keglets MORGAN NAMED ATHLETE OF WEEK, Rosie's Crew Checks Checkmates By 41 Pins; Perog and Schecter RECEIVES AWARD FOR TH.IRD TIME Make Bid for All-Events Crown Hits 514 Point Total, Leads Team to Finest Performance in Years George Morgan, th e Colonels' high-scoring champion, was selected the Beacon's Athlete of the Week ofr the third . time this year. In the final game for the Wilkes cagers at Stroudsburg last w eek , George hit for a remarkable 14 out of 18 tries from the field in rolling up 32 points. The night's work brought the prolific scorer's season total to 514 points, th e highest ever recorded by a Wilkes basketball player. Proving that this mark is no acciden:,t, due to the "saturation" type of scoring employed by some of the nation's I ea d in g pointmakers, George has hit for a percentage of nearly six completions of every ten attempts. His final record shows that his shots were completed no less ,t han 57 per cent of the time, a mark that will probably stand for some time. George has been the leading scorer for the Davismen all season. He has b een a constant team player as well, and has been a defensive standout in every g ame. The six-foot-four junior has managed .to take away 20 rebounds on several occasions, and can be counted on for at least 15 or 16 every g ame. His height is an obvious advantage for these duties, but Morgan goes b eyond that.' He combines a keen sense of timing with plenty of natural grace and ability in order ,t o salvage two-pointers from what might well become goals for the other team. George is the first man to be honored with the title of "Athlete of the Week" ,t hree times in one year since the great Jim Ferris turned the trick two years ago. The 21-year-old . Business Administration major will b e returning to the cage wars next season, and with the veteran squad he will have helping him, he may pose a threat to his own scoring record. With the last publication of the National Collegiate Athletic Bu- r eau's statistical report, the stel~ar center was listed ninth among small colleges in the nation in points scored, and · tenth in the nation in average. Since that r eport was published, he probably h a s advanced in both departments, making him a good candidate for "Little All-American" honors. The Sports staff of the Beacon wishes to extend him their h eartiest congratulations on a job well done.

Banquet SPORTS SPURTS by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor Pity the poor Student Directors. They never get any thanks, never any pay, and never any co-operation. Last Sunday night's second-round team championship event in Intramural Bowling provides dismal proof of this fact. Three teams remained to vie for the trophies available. Two men, out of fifteen entrants showed up. These m en had hope~ of qualifying for one of the awards, one had even traveled in from Dallas just to bowl. Imagine their disgust and dismay when they were deprived of their right to compete for the honors just because of plain thoughtlessness. If these two men were disappointed, imagine how bad the League officials felt. They were forced to t ell the manager of the JCC alleys that they would have to cancel their claim to the lanes for that evening. The chain of chagrin stretched on. The manager had turned down a couple of teams who wanted to use the alleys, because he had been assured that the Wilkes students would be using them. Therefore, he lost money and good will. Naturally, this didn't cause him a large amount of joy. Then the matter was brought to the attention of Mr. Reese, faculty Director of Intramural sports. MYe rs Again, disappointment touched another base. A letter of apology was composed, signed by Mr. Reese, then sent to the officials of the JGC. It is hoped that this action will help to smooth matters and enable us to continue to bowl at the JOC alleys. Such a course, however, should not have been necessary. We are in an institution of higher learning, in which we are supposed to be learning how to get along with people. We are college students, supposedly interested .in community harmony and mutual co-operation. We are desirous of being treated as adults; but our actions in this matter belie all -of the above statements. Elsewhere on these .pages is a list of all the two-man t eams who will compete for the Male Doubles Handicap Bowling trophies. The time, place, and date are listed. There should be no confusion, no excuse for any of these peo,p le to be absent. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind, he need only get in touch with Jane Keibel or this writer, immediately, to ·g et straightened out on the matter. The trophies have already been ordered. There could have been no way to purchase these items without knowing how much money would be collected in trophy fees. The entrance fe e was set at 75 cents for all three events, and the total number of entrants pledged was multiplied by that figure, and the total cost of the awards was thus determined. The Directors are now committed to produce that amount, since the trophies are already in transit. If the people who have agreed to enter the tourney do not attend and pay their fee, there will be a discrepancy which will have to be met out of the pockets of the Director. To avoid this, it has been ruled that any person whose name is on the, roster fails to put in an appearance, he will still be required to pay the fee. It is only fair.

The teams will be limited to fifteen members. The games will be played in Kirby Park. Reese has also called for volunteers to act as student directors of the league. The duties of these individuals will be to keep the statistics, make up the schedules, and supervise the organization a n d conduct of the league. Umpires will be needed, too. No experience is necessary for any of these duties, and anyone who has a desire to help in the officiating of the games is urged to contact Mr. Reese immediately. As soon as the rosters have been submitted, a meeting of the team captains will be called, for the purpose of clarifying the rules and regulations under which the games will be played. Team rosters may be submitted to Mr. Reese in the gymnasium office, or to the Beacon Sports Editor. Coach Jack Curtis has been drilling the 1957 Colonels' golf team d u r i n g the past week in preparation for the second year of intercollegiate competition at the college. The team faces a six-match schedule, including the annual Middle Atlantic tournament to be held at Mount Union, Pa., American Legion Country Club, May 10-11. Several experienced men have reported for ,p ractice, and Curtis has stated that there is still plenty of room for other men on the squad. The team opened their pre-season drills at Kirby Park, using only the seven-, eight-, and nine-irons, and wedges to iron out the rough spots. In an effo rt to avoid bad habits and poor p ractices, the coach will have his eyes on the men as they use the practice t ees. He hopes to be able to spot potential flaws in this manner, and nip them in the bud. These hitting drills will be held until the weather permits full-time use of the home course Chuck Robbins at the !rem Temple Country Club. The first match of the season will be held at the Scranton University home course in a three-way match between the Colonels, Hofstra, and Scranton on April 26. Other matches with Lycoming, Moravian, and a return match with Scranton are scheduled for May. �6 Friday, March 22, 1957 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON FUTURE ELEMENT ARY TEACHERS INTERVIEWED THE KERNEL'S KORN by Dick Myers A lot of talk is circulating ·a bout the increasingly high cost of living. It seems to get worse all the time. Stea:k hasn't been so high since the cow jumped over the moon. A good steak costs more than three dollars now, and usually isn't very ,g ood, anyhow. That's what you call spending a lot of ·money on a bum steer. Doesn't do any good to beef about it, though. Reminds me of the baloneymaker who retired after 30 years. Think of it, she spent three decades try·.ing to make ends meat. Never sausage ambition. All she asks ,n ow is that people liver alone. She .lived right over the butcher sh<>i); every morning she went from bed t o wurst. She made liverwurst, iblutwurst, ·knockwurst; nothing .but the best of the wurst. The sign in her shop window proclaimed that if her meats were any fresher, they'd be •indecent. She had a young boy clerking for her for a while. He didn't complain when she had him place the bottles on the shelves, he didn't squawk when she made him set the boxes on counter displays, but he quit when she told him to lay the eggs in the window. .She fired her next helper when he ·b acked into the meat-grinder. She never liked her help to get a little behind in their work. F o o d prices are really bad, though. You go into a market these days to buy a bottle of prune juice, and it cleans you out. Even cakes and bread require a lot of dough. Things won't get any batter. When sh<>i)ping, you really have to know· your do's and donuts. If you're s m a r t, though, you'll come through with fl ying crullers. Then there's the tale about the lad who was fired from his jo.b in the lollipop factory. All he had to do was cut the candy slabs into small chuillks, but it seems he could never give a sucker an even break. JOE OLIVER SWITCHES [BLAKER IS AWARDED POLITICAL ALIGNMENT THI Rn FELLOWSHIP Joe ·Oliver, senior political science major, has switched parties. Joe, once a staunch Democrat (he :took off his Stevenson .button two weeks ago), is running for the •office of Burgess in Tunkhannock ,on the Republican ticket. An active and outspoken advo•cate of Adlai Stevenson in last fall's election, Joe's •political realignment comes as a great shock to many campus politicians. On campus, the 27-year-old veteran has been quite active in the affairs of Cue 'n' Curtain and the International Relations Club. He served for four years in the Air Force before coming to Wilkes and expects to receive his degree next February. Joe is known as a hard worker for any pro j e c t that he sup·ports and the Beacon h<>i)es that the hard work he puts into his campaign brings him success. ANALYSIS OF A WOMAN Symbol . ..

In emphasizing the gravity of the mental health problem, Mr. Oliver pointed out that seven thousand Pennsylvanians can expect to be admitted to mental hospitals as patients in 1957.

FUND DIRECTOR SAYS DRIVE NE ARS GOAL PROGRAM OFFERED BY GIRLS' CHORUS The college Chemistry Club will sponsor a ·s quare and round dance, the Spring Swing, tonight from nine to twelve o'clock in the gym. It has been an annual tradition with the club to sponsor a spring square dance for the past several years. Harry Wilkie, pop u 1 a r caller throughout the Valley, will make a return appearance to the campus. Wilkie has ·played a prominent role in the success of square dances sponsored by several Wilkes organizations in the past. Natalie Gripp, club president, has announced that the Sharpe Trio will provide both modern and country style music, with r ecords to provide dancing during intermission. This will be the second social function sponsored by the club this year. Early in the first semester, a modern dance was offered to the students at the college. Fr.om all indications, ,t onight's dance ipromises to be even b etter than the highly successful dance last semest er. Leslie Barstow, chairman of the refreshm ent committee, h a s announced that a large variety of soft drinks will be available for tho se who may be slightly overheated from the more strenuous square dances. The following committees have been working hard to make the affair a large success: publidty, Raye Thomas and Pat Levandowski; tic'kets, Carole Lowcavage; decorations, Sal Valenti; chaperones, Mary Mattey. I I Constitution Committee Lists Recommendations On Campus Government The Student Council Constitution Study Committee met last Tuesday evening to discuss revising of the ,p resent college constitution. The revisions were discussed on a tentative basis and are subject to further ratification. Les Weiner, former council parliamentarian, was in charge of .t he meeting. Four committee members were present. A proposal was made to initiate a Court of Appeal s at the college as well as to form an Advisory Council consisting of students, administration and faculty members. Recall of Student Council officials was also considered in cases where class r epresentatives show inefficiency and / or disinterest . Vo t i n g procedures were also treat ed at the meeting. One of the main issues concerned the class with which off-semester students would vote. Delaying freshman elections was another problem considered. The council also decided to include a clause in the constitution .p roviding for presidential appointment of a 'Praliamentarian. The number of students necessary to petition will also be revised. Tentatively the size of a quorum was changed from eight to ten, and a change of the number of class representatives was also considered, �---,-----------------------------------------------------------------EDITORIALS 2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON An Unbroken Promise It couldn't go on indefinitely. Contrary to the opm1on expressed by many campus sages, there are some speakers who know when to stop. This was proved at 11 :32 on Tuesday morning, April 2, 1957, in the Wilkes gymnasium. Mr. Robert Oliver, Central Area Director of Pennsylvania Mental Health, Inc., was the speaker who shocked the estimated 650 students in attendance at assembly, not only with his startling facts and figures on mental health, but also his consideration for theirs. The speaker promised to deliver his talk straight from the shoulder, with no excess padding. He did so. This honest, straight-forward delivery earns Mr. Oliver a Beacon salute, on behalf of all the students of Wilkes. We wish that some of the other "outside" speakers would adopt his "Stand up; speak up; shut up" technique.

Next year's staff will not come out of the air, however, The positions will be awarded to those who have contributed their efforts in putting out this year's paper. That's the proper procedure as we see it. Every year graduation ta~es its toll and new faces and new hands must be found to replace those who leave. Empty chairs ' have to be filled. But it's not just filled chairs that produce newspapers, but chairs filled by those who have the ability. Willing, capable workers are always needed and welcome in the college newspaper office. Journalism cannot be learned in a day. Moreover, it cannot be learned without work. To those of our fearless readers who have continued reading after coming across that terrible word, we say: why not give it a try, I if you're still interested? Next year at this time, when applications are being made ' for top positions on the newspaper staff, you may be one of those chosen. You can't start at the top, but in a year or two you can be there. Start going up - NOW! Philosophical Note In case any of our campus philosophers have an aversion to reading ads in the Beacon, we take this opportunity to point out that one of our advertisers, the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company, is offering $50 to the author of any philosophical verse which is accepted in their Chester Field competition. This strikes us as an excellent chance for the more materialistic type of philosopher (abounding on campus) to lift himself out of his grubby, money-craving rut. And there's no stigma of work attached. -tim EDITORS, BUSINESS STAFF SOUGHT FOR '57-58 'BEACON' Letters of application for positions on next year's Beacon executive staff are now being accepted from students interested in such positions.

ASK ABOUT OUR COLLEGE CLUB �4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 5, 1957 COLONELS DROP FIRST GAME, HANDICAP BOWLING TOURNEY ENDS; OPEN HOME STAY TOMORROW Coach John Reese's worst fears were realized on Wednesday evening when his team went down to a stunning 13-4 defeat in a darkness-shortened five-inning contest at Moravian . In the first inning, third-sacker Bob Sokol was safely ,p erched on first base thanks to a Moravian error. Freshman Ralph Hendershot, in his first at-bat in his college career, whacked a home run that sent Wilkes into a short-lived 2-0 lead. The Greyhounds took advantage of the shaky Wilkes pitching corps, waiting Eddie •B irnbaum out for twelve bases on balls, and collecting a grand total of t en hits. They scored six big runs in the first inning, three in the second, two in the third, then finished their scoring in a big fourth inning attack. In that frame, Greyhound catcher George Hollendersky hit a triple with the sacks loaded. A R. WEINSTEIN, TREMAYNE CHAMPS three-run h om er by left-fielder Tonv Matz completed the tallies for the Bethlehem nine. Hollendersky had a perfect day at the plate, getting three safeties in three at-bats. For the Colonels, first baseman Mike Dydo and Sokol each contributed two hits to .the Wilkes total of six. Freshman "Porky" Hoats, in the brief appearance he made, showed poise and style and promises to be a great help to the hurling woes of Coach Reese. Ron Rescigno, at his shortstop position for the third straight year, played his usual fine game in the infield and contributed a hit to the Colonels' attacik.

Two men on campus so far have expressed. a willingness to represent Wilkes in these events. They are Bill Tremayne, Intramural AllEvents Handicap Champion; and Pete P erog, member of the First-place Rose Tattoo's of the Handicap Tournament and of the Mixed Masters, champs of the Fall term league. These men would li,ke to hear from any other interested parties. The tourney will hold elimination rounds on May 4 and 5. Sixteen men will qualify to enter the semi-finals. The eight. "'.'inn ers will then meet in head-to-head compet1t10n, bowling under the Peterson point system. The school of the winning bowler will receive the beautiful 22-inch V. Loria Collegiate Trophy, which becomes permanent if won three years in succession. The winning bowler will receive a smaller replica of the trophy for permanent possession, in addition to a gold medal. Speaking of bowling tournaments, the Intramural bowling has come to an abrupt end, with still four or five weeks left in the term. A few individuals have expressed a desire to get in a little more competitive bowling before the summer vacation Myers begins. Due to the limited time remaining, any bowling will have to be started immediately. A tournament could be run on the same basis a s the Easterns m entioned above, with the top man being declared the Wilkes College champion bowler. Depending on the number of bowlers, an entrance fee could be set to purchase trophies for the winners and runners-up. Anyone ready to do a little more bowling this year, contact this writer before next Wednesday. THE SILENT SPORT If it's good enough for the Sports pages of the New York Times, it should be worthy mention in the WHkes Beacon. The "it" in this case being chess. With considera,ble interest being shown in the endless games observed on campus, perhaps a tournament in this less strenuous sport would appeal to the m embers of the student body. Several of the players have mentioned such a proposal from time to time, and we feel that perhaps some action can be initiated if the matter is given a bit of publicity. Failing in this goal, it may be possible for the devotees of "moody ❖ (continued from page 4) the inexperienced m e n on the squad. . The announcement that the men will soon be working out on the !rem greens should heighen interest in the pre-season activities, since it means that the men will be able to get some real e~perience with intra-squad competition. The rules under which meets will be held show that the old best-ball partner system will be abolished this year. Instead, the six team members will tee off in order of their placement in qualifying eliminations, u n d er individual match play rules. There will be one point for the first nine holes, one point for the second nine, and one point for all 18 holes. The possible score , therefore, will be 18 points per contest.

The Wilkes championship debaters are Fred Roberts, Bruce Warshal, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper. . In 1952 a Wilkes team won six straight ro unds in the state competition, being the onl y team in the verbal contest having a perfect record in the race. Because of a snowstorm, however, the team could not return to Lehigh University in Bethlehem to finish the competition and thus had to forfeit their winnings.

Contrary to the deep-seated feelings in most Americans, there are other considerations. ..One ~urp?se of. the increase,~ income to the college would be to mamtam a high standard in the college, whatever that means. This would seem to .be in need of further elucidation ·s ince we were always of the opinion that high standards cam~ from people, not money. Perhaps the Administration can show us an example of how high standards can be bought, but we doubt it. On the other hand, the second reason cited was "to maintain the faculty". There may be quite a bit of necessity here. College faculties have been notorious for their low salaries and Wilkes is no exception. Many competent instructors have taken jobs at other colleges or left the education field entirely on this account. We suggest that each student consider the proposal seri?usly_. ta½ing all things into ':lcco~nt. One good point to keep m mmd 1s that your education 1s one of the most important phases of your life.

The Colonel golfers, hoping for a break in the weather, have spent most of the week practicing indoors at the gym. The grounds at the Irem course are still unplayable as a result of the heavy snow- and. rain-fall of the previous week. The move to s h e 1 t e r was p-r ompted by the realization that there is little time remaining for the opening match on April 26 at Scranton. This is a triple event between Scranton, Hofstra and the Colonels. The weather has delayed the team so much in their outdoor drills that the warm, dry confines of the gym seemed to be the best solution to the problem. The team has not yet elected a captain, however team spokesman Sam Dilcer reports- that the group is beginning to show some promise, but can use more players.

At least one person has seen fit to enter a protest with the Beacon concerning the proposed tuition increase, although there has been much comment about it on campus, nearly all against it. While we can appreciate the position of the Administration to some extent, we cannot be said to be very strongly in favor of the proposal. The average student, as well as the family man, is faced with tightly strained budgets. Most student incomes are from unskilled jobs, where pay scales are lagging behind the cost of living. That is, lagging even further than those of college faculty members. The squeeze is on. The main bone of contention among the students is the 22 % increase in tuition fees in the last two years. That's a big jump; then to increase it to · a total of 44 % over the four-year period is really piling it on. Granted that an education at Wilkes was the biggest bargain in education (up until two years ago), today the situation is somewhat different. Many students want to know just how different it is. We suggest that the Administration present the facts to the students - all the fa-cts. How can an intelligent decision be reached any other way? If the students had facts and figures on salaries of department heads, instructors and other members of the faculties of Wilkes and comparable, ·small, independent liberal arts colleges, along with their tuition rates, a fair and satisfactory decision should · be reached.

Onufer The date for the mailing of the R.S.V.P.'s to the Junior Class dinner-dance has been extended. The invitation committee, headed by Rita Matiskella, decided that this was necessary because many of the class members overlooked their invitations during the East er vacation. The committee rescheduled the deadline for five P .M. today. The R.S.V.P.'s should be placed in Dave Vann's mailbox . Dave also m en,t ioned that anyone making a reservation and failing to use it will be r equired to pay the full price of the dinner. That is the price which it costs rather than only the sum which the individual member pays. Class members failing to make reservations for the dinner can still attend the dance which will follow. This begins at eight P.M. and an invitation is not necessary for admittance. Rita also requested that class members planning to attend with more than one couple should specify so by placing a list in Vann's mailbox so that suitable seating arrangements can be made. The affair will be held Friday evening, May 3 in the American Legion Home (Post 132) on North River Street. Flowers will be given to all girls who attend.

During this past week, all parking lots in th e Wilkes-Barre area were surveyed . The co mpleted forms will be coll ected on Monday by the group of students working on the survey. The parking lot form required more wo rk on th e part of the owner, a.s compared to the other two phases. In addition to supplying background information, th e proprietor also had to ,t ak e a count of the spaces still a vailable on his lot, every hour during the day. Survey stud ents were also required to take "s·pot checks" of these parking lots, which would act as a double check, to be u sed later for tabulation. Forms from the business firm phase are still being r eturned. The survey group r eported that of th e total, only a small percentage of fi r ms refused to co-operate. However, due to the seasonal aspect, many firms misplaced or lost the forms . These were replaced with n ew ones. Wilkes College statistics classes a re now tabulating the information rec eived from the bus transportation ·pha.se of th e survey. Their work is under the sup ervision of Dr . Samuel Ro senberg. They are tab ulating s u c h information as days traveled, hours , or igin of t r ip, classification , reason s for t rip, and other facts .

WASHINGTON ST, BAUM'S �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 4 Friday, May 3, 1957 BIRNBAUM IS ''ATHLETE OF WEEK'' HENDERSHOT, GACHA HONORED IN TARDY 'ATHLETE' AWARDS FOR SPARKLING SIX-HIT PITCHING Ed Struck Out Seven· ' Walked Three Batters In Win Over Warriors Eddie !Birnba.u m was awarded this week's Beacon "Athlete of the Week" title. Moving up from last year's role as relief pitcher, the 21-year-old junior is now the Colonels' number one starting pitcher. Last Saturday, against the Lycoming Warriors, Eddie pitched the first full nine-inning game recorded by a Wilkes pitcher this season, scattering six singles throughout the contest to record his second win. The stocky left-·h ander had himself a busy day at the plate, in addition to his stint on the mound. He had two hits in four times at bat, scored a run, and had a run batted in. On the hill, Eddie was in trouble in the fourth and eighth innings, but came out of both jams. fo the final sta,ges of the game, Eddie called on his hidden reserves and uncorked a hopping fast ball that had the Warriors guessing and swinging badly. He allowed six hits, but only in the fourth inning did the visitors get more than one. He walked three men, struck out seven, and left only three men on base. It was a ,good day's work for the southpaw hurler, who has played courageous ball all season; but most satisfying is the fact that in turning in his nine-inning sixhitter, Eddie has proved himself to :be ready and able to handle any assignment. The team he beat on Saturday afternoon was, and is, a strong contender for the Mid-Atlantic crown. They had won four in a row when Eddie slapped them down. . .

Some 200 fans saw the first nineinning performance by a Wilkes pikher this year, as Eddie Birnbaum turned in a six-hit performance for his second win of the campaign. The game I a s t e d about four hours, being held up in the fourth inning by a half-hour downpour. There were a couple of fullfledged "rhubarbs" and eight errors to liven up the afternoon.

CITES w.c. GRADUATE FOR RESEARCH ON 'THE BENDS' Friday, May 3, 1957 Lettermen Select Pat Reed .. Beauty, Poise, Service Bases for Selection Of the Colonels' Queen George McMahon, a Wilkes graduate, has made a valuable contribution in the field of science. He has received a special award for a research project done at University of Pennsylvania Medical School involving caisson disease, commonly called "the bends". This affliction is one of the many· hazards fac ed by the daring deep sea divers and sandhogs, for if not fat~l it f,requently causes paralysis. It 1s due to the great pressures divers are subject to in the ocean depths and is also encountered by the men who work in pressurized compartments driving tunnels beneath rivers. McMahon's award-winning project was entitled "Use of Multiple Inert Gases in Decompression". The decompression involved is the gradual ascent to normal pressure with an attempt to replace .the fatal nitrogen with inert harmless gases. The research in which McMahon was engaged is a part of the U. S. Navy's medical .p rogram at the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving his M.D. this June from the university, he will immediately begin his internship, While a student at Wilkes, where he received his ba,c helor of science degree in 1953, he was co-captain of the football t eam, wrestled for rthe -Colonels and was one of the first lettermen to receive the "Athlete of the Y.ear" award presented ,b y the Beacon.

His dissertation fa, "The Eightenth Century Allegorical Essay". Dr. Heinle said that these essays were a popular literary style during that ,c entury, and. appeared in many of the journals, such as the Spectator. Dr. Heinle added that the principle writers of this .period were Addison, Steele, .Q.oldsmith, Swift, Fielding, and Johnson. These writers turned to this style when they were ,p ressed for something to write. Dr. Heinle said that his study shows how these allegorical essays use two ancient Greek allegories, The Choice of Hercules and The Table of Cebes, as their models. He stated his study also shows the relationship of the Renaissance and eighteenth century allegorical paintings to these essays. Dr. Heinle also included some of the fascinating -p re-Freudian theories of dreams in his dissertation since INTRAMURAL SOFTBALL most of the allegorical essays were presented in a dream framework.

It is impossible to estimate Jim's true value to his team! for he was in all ways a steady, aggressive, dependable performer. Wrestling in the 130-pound class, Jim turned in a total of eleven wins for the Colonels, three of these by falls. His total of points scored for the season was 41, an all-time high here at Wilkes. It was his consistent winning in the earlier bouts of every match that helped to fire up the spirits of the rest of the squad. The value of such a morale-building factor is undeniabJe and is in a large part responsible for the undefeated season turned in by Jim and his teammates. The honors bestowed upon Jim's shoulders this year are numerous. He is one of the co-captains of next year's mat team, dano, Bob Yokavonus, Al Manarski, Don Reynolds, Walt Glo- ~ Jim Ward WILKES he has received the Howard W. Davis Award for excellence in athletics, at the Lettermen's All-Sports Banquet he was named the year's Outstanding Wrestler, and he took second place in the Middle Atlantic Conference 130-pound division championship tourney, in addition to his team records at Wilkes. Balloting for the honor took place earlier this week, with the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports Publicity, the four coaches, and the Sports staff and editor of the Beacon participating in the vote. Given honorable mention were: Neil Dadurka, George Morgan, Mike Dydo, George Gacha, Bill Farish, Eddie Birnbaum, and Bob Masonis. Others eligible for the award by virtue of being named "Athlete of the Week" throughout the Beacon's current publication year were: Dick Wozniak, Tony Bianco, Nick Giorgowski, Keith Williams, and Ralph Hender~hot. . . The job of selecting a winner from this formidable list of athletic standouts was no easy task, but it is the opinion of those concerned that the final decision was a just one. Jim is the sixth man to receive this award. It was first given in 1952 to Parker Petrilak. Others so honored were George McMahon, Len Batroney, Jim Ferris, and Carl Van Dyke. Ward's name will be placed on the permanent trophy on display in the trophy case in the lobby of the Wilkes gym. In addition, Jim will receive a replica trophy for his personal possession. Presentation of the award and trophy will be formally made at next Tuesday's assembly.

The retailing students have just completed a very important survey for the Mayor's Traffic Committee and today are presenting a Retailing Careers Conference for high school students of the area who are interested in such careers. A great deal of credit should go to the group's advisor, Mr. Eric Stein of the Economics Department. Mr. Stein was the leading light in the establishment of the organization and has been inspiring as its leader. The members of the club have all worked hard for the success of its projects and also deserve a lot of credit. We would like to express our thanks especially to Bill Zdancewicz, who has done a standout job as the group's publicity director. -tim "Hams" A group of amateur radio fans on campus are endeavoring to organize a Wilkes College "ham" club. The proponents of the club are forced to ask for donations of equipment, no matter how outworn, to help get them on their feet. The establishment of a "ham" station at Wilkes would enable many people interested in this hobby to put their interests to practical uses. One of these functions is participation in the Civil Defense communications system. For obvious reasons, the telephone cannot be expected to fulfill the needs of disaster communications. Amateur operators need no elaborate wire connections, rather, they use the airwaves for their contacts. Throughout the country, "ham" operators have worked with state police and Red Cross in disaster areas, and with Civil Defense authorities in attack drills. They have proven their value to the nation in time of distress. Less vital, but infinitely more enjoyable, is the opportunity to contact other similar stations all over the world. These stations are waiting to exchange ideas and pleasantries. It will only take the flick of a switch to make contact, but first that switch, and the accompanying equipment is needed. -R.J.M. ·STUDENT COUNCIL APPROVES CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS by M. L.

Program; 0 - lu.r.i , -· Darrow Chief Speaker by Jim Eidam Saturday, May 4, 1957 From the Journal of a playgoer: Last night the s pirit of comedy came to Wilkes Coll ege, making us not poor with the stillness of death but rich with the mirth of life as the m embers of the gentle craft mended the rips in our souls with their wit and ha•p py laughter. Not for a long time have a ca st of college students presented Th o m a s Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday so spiritedly, re vealing thoroughly the Elizabethan zest for the com edy of domest ic life. From the moment that lean Sir Hugh Lacy ent er ed from the side wing until the commanding k i n g knighted the romantic Rowland, the spirit of com edy in the true tradition of the cobblers of fairyland prick ed the audience with the n eedl e, thread, and awl of boisterous humor and common g ri ef. For this dom estic comedy, the poor man's Sha:kes peare, the student cast found the audience alert and appreciative, the ·poetr y of Dekk er lively and ca,pable of great beauty, and the plot filled with action and word play. When they were done, the audience knew that it had seen a g ood play well p resented. That feeling of chilled suspense susceptible to a moment of great grief was given to us when Jane wept, "Gri ef likes to be alone." On her solitude intruded the audience with the dimming of the lights as she walked toward the side wing; with her pronounced the audience, "Death makes m e poor." Her interpr etation, however, made that line rich. The exuberance of song, dance, and word was on that stage last night. Who will not remember the word play on heart and hart, on dear and deer, or the teasing light of all-knowing laughter in Rose's eyes when she asked Hammon, The strangest hunting that ever I see. But where's your park? Who could feel the impish joy of Firk when he tricked the Lord Mayor and Sir Hugh, or not hear his honor urging his conscience while his hand was hungry for angels, Shal I betray my brother? no! Shall I prove Judas to Hans? no! Shall I cry treason to my corporation? no, I shall be firked an dyerked then. But give me your angel; your angel tell you.

He has come to Wilkes as guest speaker ·many years.

Entwined in these thoughts are several names which never seemed to ma,ke the h eadlines, never made 'Athl ete of the Week ', never even seemed to draw the cheers of the spectators. Even though these men weren't formally honored, we feel that the sports pages cannot close for the year without some mention of the unsung heroes. Of course, we could begin the simplest way by naming every man on every roster of every team, but please bear in mind that these are just the personal observations of an individual spectator. This spectator cannot forget the fleet-footed dashes of little Ron Rescigno, his gameness, the M Ye r s daring fake punts, lightning-quick spot passes; yet his de eds went with only superficial mention. Nor can h e forget three-letterman Bob Sokol and his valiant efforts in the unaccustomed role of soccer goalie; his fine, steady, heads-up brand of aggressive basketball ; and his sturdy hitting ability on the baseball diamond. There are, of course, many more. Ahmed Kazimi , Seth Ansah, Red Walsh, Fran Mikolanis, Elmer Snyder, Dave Thomas, Dick Weiss, Bob Turley, Joe Parsnik, John Harvey, Bob McGurrin and countless others. To all these men who received no honors, no individual awards, our heartfelt thanks for many thrills. "VICEROY HAS THE SMOOTHEST TASTE OF ALLI" S U PER S M O OT H !

L. Onufer The ninth annual Parents' Day reception will be held in the college gym Sunday afternoon at four. The event is held each year in conjuction with the college band concert and gives the parents of Wilkes students an opportunity to meet the facuty informally. Bob Moran, Wilkes music instructor, who is directing the band concert for the eighth time, said the program will feature music by American composers. The concert is held during National Music Week which has as its theme, "Music by American Com-p osers". The main numbers are: Overture to Rienzi ,by Wagner, Water Music Suite ,b y Handel, Mississippi Suite by Grofe, Selections from My Fair Lady arranged by Rob ert Russell Bennett, and Trauersinfonie by Wagner. The program will also include a number by H en r y Fillmore, in commemoration of the recent death of this composer of band music, who is considered by many to rank second to Sousa. NOVICE DEBATE TEAM THIRD AT DICKINSON The novice debate team, entered for the first time into inter-collegiate competition, ,placed third in the Fourth Annual Dickinson Novice Debate Tourney held over the week<end at <Carlisle. The m embers of the team were Louis Marcus, a sophomore from Scranton; Christine Winslow, a freshman from Wilkes-Barre, Gwen Evans, a sophomore from WilkesBarre; and Armand Caruso, a frosh from Wilkes-Barre. In addition to the team trophy, Marcus received a plaque for third best negative spe3!ker, bringing to 29 the number of individual and team awards won •by Wilkes in -forensic contests this year. Judged on their ,performance this weekend, the novice team shows promise of filling some gaps which will be left by the graduation in June of the two Wilkes stars, John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper, tenth and third 'b est debaters in the nation this year. BASEBALL RESULTS (continued from page 4) from third to behind the plate, relief er George Gacha played the "hot corner", Mike Goobic took Ron Rescigno's place at second, and team captain Joe Parsnik played at short. The big blow of the game was firstbaseman Mike Dydo's second four-bagger of the year. Mike's blast was of the inside-the-park variety. The T eachers, unbeaten· in State Teachers Conference games, had a chance to score in the fourth, but a double play, from Parsnik to Gooib ic to Dydo, erased the t hreat. For the Colonels, it was four runs on eight hits; the Teachers had one ru n and only three hits. Shown with the Ham11ton students are the hosts to the Hampton party during their visit.

Then at a dance in February, Dr. Michelini was victor in a cherry pie-eating contest.

This is done in conjunction with th e mon ey-raising shoe-shining project which has been sponsored by the Lettermen for two days ev ery spring.

In a departure from the usual method of elections, there were no candidates for the office of vice-president. The members agreed that the man receiving the second highest number of votes for president should be the vicepresident, in order that the two 'best candidates for office might be allowed to serve together. At .t heir previous meeting, the members heard a reading of the p r o p o s e d constitution for the chorus, and gave their suggestions in an effort to present an agreeable document.

This will be , the final regular game of the season for the Colonels, who have begun to make the Middle Atlantic Conference sit up and take notice after last week's setting Ursinus Bears. Last night, the sluggers were up in 1Scranton for a night contest, in an effort to gain permanent possession of the trophy which was presented by the old S c r a n t o n Miners baseball club, to be. given to the winner of the series between the two schools each year. The trophy is now in the Wilkes trophy case, having been captured by the -Colonels last year. ·On Wednesday afternoon, 'Poriky' }{oats came through with a fine three-hit iperformance. His teammates came from a three-run deficit in the seventh, and wen on to win in the eleventh inning, 4-3. Ronnie Reseig no, who has been hitting the ball at a better than .400 clip all year, scored the winning run in the 11th inning. Ron got on base when he was hit by a pitched ball. He brought the run in with some fancy base-running, including a theft of second base; :then scoring on Bob Sokol's hit. Sokol went wild at the plate, having one of his finest days of the year. Bob turned in four hits in six trips to the plate. The ,Colonels enter the game this Bob Sokol Ronnie Rescigno afternoon with thoughts of winning their fifth straight game. Their record now stands at 8 wins, 3 losses for the year; in Conference ,p lay, they lead the loop with 6 conference wins against 2 losses. At the time of this writing, t here was a strong possibility that Eddie Birnbaum, left-handed winner of his last five games, would be the starting pitcher. The .team is looking forward to the return of John Harvey, the formidable b a ck stop, who was suffering from a virus infection during the past few games. Tomorrow afternoon, Artillery Park will be the site of the annual Alumni game, when the "old men" of Wilkes return to do battle with the current aggregation. G a m e time is 2:00 P.M. These games are usually surprisingly well played, and even if they are not, there is conside~·able fun in watching some of the former athletes don uniforms again and cavort on the diamond. A large crowd is expected for both gam es. This is the last chance to see baseball at Wilkes for the season. Don't miss out on a good -e ntertainment bet for the week-end.

In order to enaible more students to get in more games, there will be two separate seasons, Fall and Spring. Two leagues will operate each semester, with playoffs between league winners at the end of each season. In an effort to equalize the bowling somewhat, the team handicap system will be in effect. For the first three-game s e r i e s, no handicap will be used. For all games after that time., each individual's average will .be listed with those of his teammates and added up before the match. The total of the opponents' averages will then be compared, and two-thirds of the difference will be added to the lesser total as a t eam handicap. The team handicap will apply for all three games bowled in that match. Trophies will be awarded to firstand second-place finalists, holders of high male and, female averages, bowlers of high single games, and to the high three-game s er i e s bowlers. League secretaries will be appointed, whose duties it will be to record and publish the w e e k 1 y averages of all bowlers in their leagues. All entries will be called for shortly after the Fall semester begins, Team entries will be accept-ed, as well as individual entries. Individual s will be grouped into teams and captains chosen as soon as possible. All captains will meet with the director before bowling begins to discuss methods of trophy ,purch9.se and distribution. AW ARDS PRESENTED (continued from page 2) Bergstra.sser, and Paul Smith.

Stark Science Hall, the latest and most impressive addition tQ. the Wilkes campus, will be formally dedicated at ceremonies 9n Friday, Septemqer 27, at 4:30 P.M. An initial anonymous contribution of $900,000 in March, 1966, made a reality out of the dream of a well-equipped science building at Wilkes College. On June 4, 1956, groundlbreaking ceremonies were held, and from that date to the present, wovk on Stark Hall has progressed steadily. Tb e dedication ceremonies of next week will commence with an academic procession of h o no r e d guests, members of the college Board of Trustees, and faculty members. Distinguished guests will include Admiral Stark, Ret., and Admiral Ben Moreen, Ret., the principal speaker for the occasion. Admiral Moreen is presently serving as the ;president of the board of Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation. Previous to and following the dedication p r o gram, open house will be held. During this time the building will be open for inspection, and members of the various science departments which are located ,i n 1S tark Hall will be present to show visitors, about the building. A student committee, headed by Ed Kotula, is promoting this important event among the student :body. All students of the college are urged to attend the program, as it will mark a milestone in the history of Wilkes. Also, the stu- . dent body should feel indebted to the generous individuals who have made Stark Hall possible. We can show our appreciation by attending t he program n ext Friday. Invitations for interested outsiders are available in the Public Relations Office, Chase Hall, third floor. NEW GRADING SYSTEM by Michael Salinsky This year, Wilkes College has ent irely r evi sed its system of gr ading. Instead of the old-fashioned let t er method, a n ew system, that of numbers, is going into operation. From now on, the number 4 is established as the hi gh est grade attainable for a Wilkes student. The revised system is as follows: Superior, 4; Very Good, 3; Good, 2; Passing, 1; Failing , 0. Averages are computed (as similarly described in the '67-'58 catalogue ) by multiplying the grade earned in a subject by the number of credits. The totals thus obtained for each subject are added and the total for all subjects is divided by the total number of credits taken by the student. This quotient is called the point average. The following averages are required for advancement fr o m class to class. To be admitted to these classes the following averages are required: Sophomore, 1.4; Junior, 1.7; Senior, 1.85.

Stark Science Hall will be dedicated. As students we will· have the opportunity and privilege to witness the first phase in the development of a new Wilkes College, for we have reached an era of expansion. As we watch history being made next Friday, we can look back at the record of Wilkes' development and marvel at the rapid progress the college has made. However, this progress would have been impossible without the intere.st and generosity shown by prominent citizens from the community. From classrooms in a rented office building we have advanced to classrooms in one of the most modem buildings available anywhere, mainly because the Administration and Board of Trustees have worked hard to make a dream a reality. We can show appreciation to our benefactors by attending the dedication ceremonies next week. ***** Welcome Frosh Speaking of new additions to the college, the Beacon welcomes the three hundred and fifty new freshmen who are now being orientated into college life. This year's class appears to be an active group, and evidently the college will gain much from their enthusiasm in the same way that they will benefit from the college. ***** Cooperation at Its Best TheBeacon tips its hat to our Kingston students and the cpmmunity of Kingston for the wonderful spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm displayed in its recent Centennial program. -Jan . ·Council Takes Reins; Name Days Scheduled By Student .C~~mittee by Marion Klawonn The .Student Council has taken over the reins of hazing this year in an attempt to revive the camrpus tradition. Representatives have been chosen from each class to make up the formerly all sophomore tribunal. It is hoped that, with this plan, all the upperclassmen will feel free to join in the tradition and make it more of a success than it has been in past years. T h e Council aippointed representatives have been making plans for the three-week hazing period since last spring. This week the frosh have been required to wear full r e g a l i a, next week actual hazing will begin with a full program of scheduled events. Monday has :b een dubbed "Rain Day" and all frosh will carry open umbrellas to and from classes. At noon, a Rain Dance will be · held on Chase Lawn. Tuesday will be "Cleanup Day". Frosh must carry buckets and .tooth brushes all day and at noon they will scrub some unannounced site. Wednesday has been dedicated to ,the shoes on campus. Frosh will carry shoe brushes and will use them upon request by upperclassmen. Thursday has been named "Beat ·'~Hams" ' ' A grpup of amat.eJJJ radio .fctjls on campus are endeavoring to organize a Wilkes College "ham" club.

Less vital, but infinitely more enjoyable is the opportunity to contact other similar stations all over the world. These stations are waiting to exchange ideas and pleasantries.

But because of their past lives, potentialities, and the inspired urge to succeed, they realized within the ensuing days of orientation their common goal each was an intricate part of the group, and the group they were now a definite part of was Wilkes College. Every item of orientation equaled a noteworthy one. From the fine, clear-eut and inspiring talks by the Dean of Men, Mr. George F.

Farley to the equally memorable ·points of the Freshman Sing-Song, registration, photographs, group pictures, reception, testing, and the inclusion of the get-together of the Frid a y Luncheon, and Friday Night "Come and Meet Us Party". It was the equivalent of these four days which lent ease, and reflected warmth of a stationary group, ready to add a new appendage of life - the Wilkes freshmen of '57. And when class began for the freshmen of '57, there was understanding in the form of appeal. There was eagerness before and after the set-up of each new class was realized.

They have finally infiltrated the "Inner Sanctum", and the girls flag of victory waves over Weckesser Hall. Our eighteen girl army has now concealed the boys' former bare shades with pretty curtains. Also to our growing list of dorms has been added George Catlin Hall and Obidiah Gore Hall. These buildings were purchased for the college by the Board of Trustees. George Catlin Hall was acquired from Colonel Dorrance Reynolds, while Obidiah Gore Hall was obtained from the Wadham's estate. The old Dobson building now called Weiss Hall was donated to the college by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss. The dorm students who hail from Texas to the New England States are guided by their able house superintendent. Mr. George Elliot, a familiar face on campus, is head of Weiss Hall. Our other dorms are guided by three newcomers to our family. They include Mrs. Luther Crawford of Weckesser, Mrs. James Langdon of Catlin, and Mr. Russell Miller of Gore. These people aid a total of sixtyseven students.

Friday, September 20, 1957 INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations in the newly r enovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafet eria. Because of the new automatic pin-setters, the price of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. 1Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund f ee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys has been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap met h o d of scoring will be employed this year, it was announced by student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will be-· awarded to the lesser team. That fi g ure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will be played with no handicap. For the second cont est, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will be determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the sea son, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a in immediately preceding each series . If sufficient bowlers are available, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance to bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, a s the hand-set :e,i_ns made THE rpfl - llli!!

Rehearsals will soon be getting underway. Their first presentation will be a smash musical comedy, Paint Your Wagon, which will open November 6 and continue through to the 9th at the Irem Temple. Other musicals presented in the past were Girl Crazy in 1954, and Bloomer Girl in 1955. It is expected that Paint Your Wagon will be even ·b igger and better than the two :past shows according tQ Al Groh, club adviser. · For the coming year the officers are as ·follows: Merri Jones, president; ·Paul Abrams, vice ;president; Fred · Wipple, treasurer; Daisette Gebhardt, secretary; and Shirle B a r·o o d y Myer.s, historian. The club's .adviser and director, Mr. Alfred Groh, has announced that Cue 'n' Curtain will meet once a month in ·chase Theater.' · Plans are in progress for a party to ·which freshmen interested in joining the club will be invited. · Groh announced that positions are open .f or backsta-ge workers in the lines of li~hting, set designing, costuming, and make-up.

The greatest blow to the team has been the loss of Bob Sokol, the team's top goalie. The big hole in the goal should be ably filled by returning veteran Bob Payne. If Payne needs help there are four eager newcomers waiting to move into the position. They are Ben Jenkins, ·P hil Baker, Fran Mikolanis and John Wasickanin. Ivan Pappannicholas is the most promising of the- newcomers in the forward line. The team's first game is at Elizabethtown on October 6. The first home game is on October 9 with Philadelphia Textile. The Wilkes hooters play only two home games in a seven game schedule. Because of the small schedule the team is unable to vie for the Middle Atlantic States Conference Championship.

FARLEY FEATURED AT FIRST ASSEMBLY; TWO CO-EDS RECEIVE ACADEMIC AWARDS by Joe Todryk Dr. Farley addressed the student body at the opening assembly for the fall semester. The main theme of his speech concerned the challenge that we, as individuals, must face. Dr. Farley stressed the idea that the material changes of our time are progressing very rapidly and that we must meet these changes by becoming aware of them. Otherwise, if we do not meet them they will lead to destruction rather than promise. Edward Kotula, president of the .Student Council, e:icpressed the desire of the College that the student body attend the dedication of the LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS new science building, Stark Hall. The dedication will be held Friday, September 27 at 4:30 P.M. Preceding Dr. Farley's speech, two awards were made. The award for the highest academic ,a verage by a girl during her first year at Wilkes was presented to Miss Evelyn Godleski. Mrs. Doane presented the award on ,b ehalf of the Women of Wilkes. Miss Margaret Stevens received the Linda Morris A ward which was presented by Mr. Herbert Morris in memory of his daughter.

Stark, a member of the Board of Trustees, and a man with a most distinguished record of service to the United States Navy. Admiral Stark, along with Mrs. John Conyngham, was one of the first donors to the college. The buildings which they contributed, Chase Hall and Conyngham Hall, are still in use today. After the generous donations of Admiral Stark and Mrs. Conyngham, five hundred Valley residents contributed funds to adapt the buildings to college use. Throughout the years in the history of Wilkes, expansion has been made possible only through the generous individuals who gave willingly to provide more space and better facilities for the youth of the community and other points throughout the nation. On this day, as we salute Admiral Stark, we express our deep appreciation to the many other benefactors of the college who gave so magnanimously. -Jan Theta Delta Rho will hold a punch party today from 3 to 4 on the lawn between Chase and Kirby Halls.

So far the response of freshmen and upperclassmen has been most enthusiastic so we're keeping our fingers crossed for the remainder of the year. However, the business and circulation staffs need personnel very badly. Tom Myers and his two assistants have been working especially hard to do the work that should ordinarily be done by a large group of people. If a few more students would kindly volunteer to help Tom and his staff, the responsibility could be shared and a heavy task could become a lot of fun.

His is the compact body of the man who has spent considerable time on the playing field; hard and firm, capable of instantaneous execution of the demands of the mind. This semester he will :put to good use the experience gained through a half lifetime of playing and coaching in the :performance of his duties as head coach of the Wilkes football squad. By no means a newcomer to sports at Wilkes, Dean Ralston serves as Director of Athletics for the school. Four years of varsity football and baseball at Susquehanna High School prepared him for participation in the same sports at the 1University of North Carolina, as a result of which he received Grail Scholarship trophies. J ncidentally, while at the university;·· Dean Ralston roomed with George Stirnweiss, who was later to achieve fame as second baseman for the New York Yankees. World War II saw Dean Ralston in khaki, and in 1946 he was discharged from the Army with the rank of major, whereupon he came to Wilkes and was appointed Director of Athletics. That fall, he Coach Ralston spark-plugged the football team with uncommon zeal, leading the squad to an impressive undefeated, untied record. Again in 1949 he produced a superlative team, the highest-scoring in the state for that season. In 1955 Dean Ralston left Wilkes for a :period of one year to study for his doctorate at Columbia University, returning not only with his degree, but also with a wife, the f o r m e r Mrs. Helen Bitler Hawkins. During his absence Mr. Russell :Picton served as head grid coach. A graduate of Wilkes and president of both his class and the Letterman's Club in his senior year, Mr. Picton had worked under the Dean as an assistant coach for two year. An advocate of sports for everyone, Dean Ralston believes that such activities constitute an intrinsic part of education, providing opportunities for development not available in the classroom. Quoting a former president of Harvard College, the Dean r e f err e d to sports as '',probably the best lab in college," a place to develop such virtues as sacrifice, self-discipline, and self-reliance. During the course of a 60-minute football game, a quarterback is required to make a minimum of 163 instantaneous, un-aided decisions1 probably more than those made by a business executive in a month. Dean Ralston intends to employ a basic single-wing attack this year, as he has in the past. INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations · in the newly renovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafeteria. Becaus·e of the new automatic pin-setters, the -p rice of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund fee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys ha-s been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap m et h o d of scoring will be employed {his year, it was announced ·b y student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will beawarded to the lesser team. That figure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will -be played_with no handicap. For the second contest, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will ·b e determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the season, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a i n immediately preceding each series. If sufficient bowlers are avaitable, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance .t o bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, as the hand-set lLll!S made THE GO FOR UM .. ..Today's most exciting cigarette!

A candidate must make separate application for admission to each busine·s s school of his choice and should inquire of each ·whether it wishes him to take the admission test !or graduate study in business and· when.

IN .PRODUCTION by Peggy Kratz Cue 'n' Curtain has already cast for musical and speaking roles in its first production. Rehearsals will soon be getting under:way. Their first presentation will be a smash musical comedy, Paint Your Wagon, which will open November 6 and continue through to the 9th at the Irem Temple. Other musicals presented in the past were Girl Crazy in 1954, and Bloomer Girl in 1955. It is expected that Paint Your Wagon will be even bigger and better than the two p ast shows according to Al Groh, club adviser. For the coming year the officers are as follows: Merri Jones, president; ·Paul Abrams, vice ;president; Fred Wipple, treasurer; Daisette Gebhardt, secretary; and Shirle B a r o o d y Myers, historian. The club's ·adviser and director, Mr. Alfred Groh, has announced that Cue 'n'·Curtain will meet once a month in 'Chase Theater. · Plans are in progress for a party t o ·which freshmen interested in joining the club will be invited. · Groh announced that positions are open .for backsta•g e workers in the lines of lig,hting, set designing, costuming, and make-up. by M. L. Onufer Eleven three point students were among the eighty-seven spring semester dean's list students according to official announcement. These included six members of last year's graduating class, two each in the classes of '58 and '59, and one member of the class of '60. They were: John Bucholtz, Jesse Cho1>'er, Gwen Evans, Bettyjane Eisenpreis, Francis Gallia, 'Dhomas Kaska, Jean Kaswirikle, Barry Miller, Richard Myers, J er om e Stein, and Marilyn Williams. Other dean's list students were: Earl Bahl, Robert Battie, George B 1 a ck, Phyllis Charnecki, John Chmiola, Alfred D'Anca, George Davis, Harriet Davis, Norma Jean Davis, John Doran, Robert Drexinger, Joseph Durishin. Also Lee Eckert, Ann Faust, John Fladd, Michael George, Robert Gercak, Evelyn Godleski, Richard Heltzel, Thomas Hoosie, Albert Kaiser, Ann Kennedy, Al Kislin, Merri Jones BOOTERS SHAPING UP (continued from page 5) gan, Tom Jenkins, Dave Polley, !Bill Lloyd, Seth Ansah, Carl Havira, Clarence Michaels, Nick Giordano, and Maurice Hurley. The greatest blow to the team has been the loss of Bob Sokol, the team's top goalie. The big hole in the goal should be ably filled by returning veteran Bob Payne. If Payne needs help ,t here are four eager newcomers waiting to move into the position. They are Ben Jenkins, ,Phil Baker, Fran Mikolanis and John Wasickanin. Ivan Pappannicholas is the most promising of the- newcomers in the forward line. The team's first game is at Elizabethtown on October 5. The first home game is on October 9 with Philadelphia Textile. The Wilkes hooters play only two home games in a seven game schedule. Because of the small schedule the t eam is unable to vie for the Middle Atlantic States Conference Championship. STOCK EXCHANGE Some lucky Wilkes student may get to b e a "Wall Street Wizard" before the semester is over. All it takes is an entry blarik for Remington Rand's "Share of America" contest, in which the winner gets stocks of his choice equal in value to a share of every common stock on the New York Steck Exchange. Remington Rand will pay all •b rokerage fees. In addition to the first ,prize, there are 504 other stock prizes. If the winner has purchased a Remington Electric Shaver during the contest period, from September 30 until December 1, all prizes double. First ;prize then becomes equivalent to two shares of every common stock on the Exchange.

DR. FARLEY FEATURED AT FIRST ASSEMBLY; TWO CO-EDS RECEIVE ACADEMIC AWARDS by Joe Todryk Dr. Farley addressed the student body at the opening assembly for the fall semester. The main theme of his speech concerned the challenge that we, as individuals, must face. Dr. Farley stressed the idea that the material changes of our time are progressing very rapidly and that we must meet these changes by becoming aware of them. Otherwise, if we do not meet them they will lead to destruction rather than promise. Edward Kotula, ,president of the Student Council, e~pressed the desire of the College that the student body attend the dedication of the LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS new science building, Stark Hall. The dedication will be held Friday, September 27 at 4:30 P.M. Preceding Dr. Farley's speech, two awards were made. The award for the highest academic average by a girl during her first year at Wilkes was presented to Miss Evelyn Godleski. Mi's. Doane presented the award on tbehalf of the Women of Wilkes. Miss Margaret Stevens received the Linda Morris Award which was presented by Mr. Herbert Morris in memory of his daughter. The award is given annually to the girl who has maintained the highest academic average during her first three years. by Dick · Bibler I Distributors Mr. Wern er to Dr. Riley : "When you and Mr. Kanner ha ve a departmental meeting what do you do, get two couches and lie down?" ,;:::;:::;:::;:::;::::::..:;::::::..::::::;::::::::;:::;:::;::: PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Le ttering 1 LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS 11 E.

The Bea~o1:1 is willing to cooperate with all campus organizations by g1vmg them as much publicity as possible. However, we need help from individual clubs in order to be informed of their respective activities. We suggest that every class and club elect a publicity director to represent them on our staff or else send a list of their coming activities to the Beacon office. The Chemistry and Biology Clubs and the senior class each have a representative writing for this publication so their publicity has been a great deal better than most organizations'. Yours can be the same, We're willing tQ cooperate. Axe you? -jan Parking Manners The college received a phone call from a Terrace Street resident earlier this week. A Wilkes student had parked in front of his driveway, and consequently the man could not move his car without going over his neighbor's lawn and a high curbstone. This person did some Wilkes student a big favor, he could have had the car towed away but he was nice enough not to, The next time something like this happens the student may not be so fortunate. , Anyone old enough to be in college should, by this time, have learned enough common sense to know some simple rules called courtesy. Unfortunately, only selfishness seems to guide some of the drivers on campus. - MJK WIUrnS COLLEGE BEACON A ,iewspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the ·students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

The fro s h form each dormitory put on various types of entertainment for the assembled upperclassmen. The affair is a part of dorm hazing. The final part of dorm hazing was held last night with the traditional "hell night" march downtown. Frosh were dressed in cositumes ranging from long underwear to pillow-stuffed dresses for their walk through the stores. The "hell night" march was started at W e c k e s s e r Hall and ended in Public Square. Catlin Hall was responstble for the little pennants and the crepe paper decorated goal p o s t s at Saturday night's game with Lebanon Valley. The Student Council appointed Dick Salus to contact the girls and plan for similar activities for the future games. Butler Hall held their dorm elections early in the semester. The following were elected: President, Reginald Mattioli; secretary, Dave Roebuck; house officers, Jay Keller and John Schade. ·Cliff Kobland reports that Gore Hall's intramural football team may very well win the title this year even though this is Gore's first year of .p lay.

Tom Walsh, sophomore English student, was struck by a car last Sunday afternoon on North Pennsylvania Avenue and Beaumont Street. Tom received only minor injuries and was back on campus by Tuesday. Carol ,B reznay, senior sociology major, is beginning her sixth year at the Swoyerville C om m unity Center. Carol began her work in her junior year of high school as a volunteer aide. Since then she had received several promotions until last year when she was made full-time social director. Carol will continue her work in this capacity this year. She also works at the center during her summer vacations, and this summer her activities included coaching one of the area's Little League -baseball teams. Herr Disque, head of the modern language department, was honored at a birthday party last Friday afternoon. The ,party given by members of his German 206· class was held in his office preceding the Stark Dedication ceremonies. John Steve Wyda, senior journalism student, has been getting some practical experience in journalism by working at the "morgue" of the Wilikes-Barre Publishing Company. Freshman Hope Evans, who is Mr. Reese's, student secretary, will be the new attendance checker in assembly.

Unofficial response has been quite encouraging. The first recreational night is to ,be held next week, the exact date and time depending upon the availability of the gym. PARKING The Administration has expanded parking facilities for both the students and faculty during the past summer, but space is still at a premium. However, there are still same students who have not recognized this .fact. One still finds cars locked and left in spaces which ,b lock others from getting their vehicles out of the lots. We suggest a more courteous approach to the situation. Let's co-operate with the lot attendants and follow their directions. Careful parking will enable more cars to park in thelimited space available. And most important: if your car is blocking another car's exist, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR KEYS INSIDE! While we're on the topic, we would like to enlighten those members of the student body who feel that they've been "bit"' by the new schedule of parking fees. Actually, the precise· figures are not available, but it boils down to the fact that the)parking fees pay no more than five per cent of the costs of providing the facilities. The money received does not cover the cost of the time of the lot attendants. That does not even consider buying the properties, razing buildings, leveling, grading, paving, and the costs of the stickers. If students were charged for parking at a rate that would cover the costs of providing the space, it would be much cheaper to take the bus. Around the Campi The following bit comes from the Maryland J)iamondbaclc via the Bloomsburg Maroon & Gold: "Sophomores want their women to be like cigarettes, slender and trim, all in a row, to be selected at will, aflame and when the flame has subsided, discarded only to select another. "A junior wants ·h is women to be like a cigar. They're more expensive, make a better appearance and last longer. "A senior wants his girl to be like his pipe . . . something he becomes attached to, knocks gently but lovingly around and takes great care of at all times. . "A man will give you a cigarette, offer you a cigar, but will never share his pipe. "P.S.-Freshmen are too young to smoke!"

B!ology Club Receives Research Grant; STARK OFFICIALLY D· E·DICAT EDCiba Five Projects Outlined Eisenhower, Churchill Send Congratulations 'i'o Admiral H. R. Stark by Jim Eidam Under a bright autumn sky, an a u d i e n c e of over 900 -p ersons gathered on Stark Lawn last F _riaay afternoon for the ceremonies which officially dedicated the new Admiral Harold R. Stark Seience Hall. Admiral Ben Moreell, USN (ret.), was the princiipal speaker. The program commenced at 4:30 o'clock with an academic procession of honored guests, trustees, and faculty members. The program followed the order which was published in last week's issue of tne .Heacon. Dr. l<"arley, -prior ,t o introducing Admiral Jv.wreeU, stated how indebted the college was for this most generous gift. Stark Hall is an assurance that the first twentylive years of Wilkes College will bear fruit in all of the years which shall tollow them. Dr. Farley added tnat Wi1kes must not only .p erpetuate the name of Admiral .:starK, ,but also the high ideals for wnich he stood. Admiral ,vioreell's address began with an outline of the highlights of Admiral Stark's forty-sevenyear naval career, which was marked with four distinguished service medals. Moreell praised Admiral Stark for "endeavor and achievement far above and beyond the normal° requirements of duty." In further praise of his longtime friend Admiral Moreell declared: "Hi~ tireless energy, his sympathetic understanding of the foibles of human nature, his patience and quiet persistence in time of great stress ..•have set standards of personal conduct in the Naval Service which will never be exceeded and rarely equalled." The theme of Admiral Moreell's address was ,Science, Industry a.nd Education. Declaring that science, education, and religion are the three major cultural forces in the American society, he added that these three, to become effective, have to be sustained by a fourl;h element, which is industry, or the economic factor. Economic activity of America supplies the means for all our ends, and an intimate relationship between science, industry, and edu• cation is necessary for our achievement of social ,p ro.g ress, which is· necessary for our survival as a free nation. Admiral Moreen traced the recent change in the concept of science. He stated that Ka.rl Marx interpreted science as the only avenue to truth, and up to the present day the world has been de• ceived :b y Marx's followers who seek to mold society according to a master scientific plan.

There is no doubt that the 6:07 tailback was the most outstanding Colonel ,on the field as well as one of the best hacks that trod onto the bright green gridiron Sa.turday night at the new Kingston Stadium. Wilkes took it on the chin, 21-0, from Lebanon Valley College, but -R eseigno's play gave the partisan crowd plenty to cheer about. Ronnie, who is now in his fourth year of intercollegiate ball, carried the pigskin an amazing total of 26 times for 109 yards, better than four yards per carry. He was also involved in eleven pass plays. But more important was the "Runt's" never - say - die attitude. When the final gun sounded the Colonels .w ere deep in Valley territory, with their little signal caller leading .t he way. In the interest of faifness and equality, several important changes have been made· in this year's bowling arrangements; In order to have a well-bala-nced league, it has been decided that all bowling this Sunday evening will be for the sole purpose of establishing an offici~l league averag~.

He was getting hit hard as the Lebanon linebackers knew he was the man to stop. But he never gave up. He blocked like an All-American guard on reverses, tackled with authority, was all over the field shouting encouraging .words to his teammates. As in ,t he Hofstra tilt, and in the previous three years, he has been the force that has kept the fighting spirit alive in all of the Wilkes football squads. Fans of the college have wondered how the diminutive senior can keep going against overwhelming odds. The answer is s1JJ14)le. Rescigno loves the game of football and gives it all he has. And tha.t, in the case of Rescigno, is plenty. SUPEa-W!USTON PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS , Valley gave the Wilkes Colonels a football lesson on Saturday night at Kingston Stadium. Led by Tquarterback Bill DeLiberty, the Dutchmen found the Colonels' line no puzzle, scoring three times to register their first win of the season by a 21-0 count. DeLiberty was just a little less than super,b with his canny calls, pitchouts, and passing. He hit for a total of five completed passes out of ten attempts. llis baClkfteld men, Ed Slezosky, Bob Longenecker, and Len Holstein played their ,p arts beautifully in Coach McCracken's well-oiled machine. DeLiberty convel'ted all three extra point attempts. The Colonels, on the other hand, found their defense just not up to stopping the slashing charges of the Lebanon squad, their own offense lacking in nearly every department, but certainly not through any fault of any particular individual. The Wilkes squad was playing its usual hard-fought brand of football; it was simply a case of one team out-dassing another. That the defense of the Colonels' has improved since 1966 is evident in the manner in which the team has suffered its two defea.ts. Last year, the Lebanon squad took the measure of the Colonels, 39-6, and in the Hofstra ·t ilt, the Blue and Gold reduced last year's 40-0 score to a respectable 14-0. The thing ,t hat sent the Colonel fans home happy was the brilliant display put on by senior tailback Ron Rescigno (see "Athlete of the Week" story). Rescigno has made such play a pleasant ha:bit to ob(continued on page 5) There have ,b een fifty-nine people who have shown a desire to participate in this year's program. These people will be divided into two groups for Sunday's action. The first giroup will begin bowling at 6 :00 P..M. ,p romptly, the second group will follow immediately. I,t is hoped that everyone interested will make a sincere effort to be punctual in order that all may have a chance ,t o esta:blish an average. The Jewish Community Center is taking Sunday night away from its members who would like to bowl then, in order to give the college an opportunity to further its intramural recreational activities. Because of the concession the Center makes, it is necessary for the bowlers to shoulder a few responsi,b ilities in return. There will be two leagues bowling on the same night, one beginning at 6:00 ·P.M., ,t he other as soon as -p ossible after the first is finished. Each team will carry six members on its roster, but only five will ·bowl each time, giving some break for the pocketbook of each player. However, each team will be res,ponsible for five bowlers each week, and will be penalized for absent bowlers by paying the cost of the missing man's games. The Center expects to have two leagues of six teams, each with five players every Sunday night; a total of sixty three-game fees, and the College must live up to ,t hat figure out of courtesy for the hospitality offered. The first group, to meet at 6:00 P.M., •Sunday night, will be the following: Alley 7: Stan Yurkowski, Joseph Ackamey, Ray Litman, Dick Myers, Jim Judge. Alley 8: Fran Bishop, Jean Broody, Emil Pe tr a s e ik, Larry Choper, Ivan Pappanicholas. Alley 6: Hillard Hoffman, Dan Lewis, Dick Salus, John Sapiego, Mim Thomson.

Alley 3: Don Wilkenson, Al Ullman, John Macri, Bill Duffy. The second g r o up will begin bowling as soon as the first has finished, around 8 :00 P.M. Those in the second group are: Alley 3: Marion Klawonn, Doug Kistler, Carolyn Goeringer, Peter M~holik, Clete Miller. _ Alley 4: Barry Miller, Paul Schecter, M a, r i e Realmuto, John Reese, Art Hoover.

Rider College is the newest addition for this season. The Colonels journey to the Rider campus for a night game on October 9. After the addition of soccer to the varsity sports program here at Wilkes, and a lengthy losing streak, Rider was the first school the Wilkes hooters beat. They lost to Rider the last two years by close scores. The Rider contest is the scond game on the Colonels' slate, for they open the season Saturday, 0 c t o b er 5th, at Elizabethtown. Wilkes was one of the few teams that beat a very good Elizabethtown team last year. They did it by a 5-3 score. Since both squads are return i n g almost intact a thrilling game is expected. The Colonels appear to be in excellent physical shape, with no apparent injuries. The injured Bill Lloyd will make the trip and, depending upon the doctor's approval, may even get to play.

The Colonels, smarting under the sting of two straight defeats at the hands of teams which they equaled or bettered in all the statistics but score, are win-hungry. Their last victory was against thl;' same Bomber squad. Wilkes will be without the services of their starting center, Bob Yokavonus, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in the first quarter of the Lebanon Valley game and will be lost to the Colonels for several weeks. The Wilkes single'ilring attack will be led by cocaptain Ron Rescigno who averaged 4.36 yards per carry in the Lebanon Valley game and was a standout throughout the game. In the last two games the team has shown that the potential :for a winning season is there. It haa shown the ability to drive against and run around heavier lines; however, it lacked the final scoring punch. The coaches are working hard with the team and hope to have the rough spots polished up for tonight's game. The team has · a fighting spirit even in defeat. Tonight may be just the night when their fighting spirit and the breaks of the game, which so far this season have gone against them, will come through and give Wilkes its first win of the 1957 season.

MILLER ACCEPTED TO MEDICAL SCHOOL UNITED FUND DRIVE WILL BEGIN MONDAY by Dorothy Ford 1'he goal of Wyoming Valley for th e United Fund campaign is $1,299,000. Of this amount, Wilkes is expected to contribute $3,850. Last year the -s tudent body contributed $880. This year, because of the greater enrollment, it is estimated that the students will be able to collect $1,000 for the fund. The various clubs, which in past years have given donations, are once again urged to participate to help make the drive a successful one. Faculty members, the administration, and the maintenance workers will be working hard to raise the remainder or $2,850. Added credit should be given to those students who not only contribute as individuals, but as members of the various clubs as well. Dr. Reif, head of the United Fund Drive for Wilkes, commented that last year the students showed much enthusiasm about the campaign. With such enthusiasm a11d much partici,pa,tion in the drive this year, it is expected that Wilkes can show its interest in the valley, just as the valley has shown its interest in Wilkes.

However, to date NO NOMINATIONS HA VE BEEN RECEIVED. We feel that the Queen and her court should be nominated by th~ir fellow classmates, not by the Beacon staff; but if no letters of nomination are written, there will be no other alternative. T4e Beacon is not introducing this system of selection this year. We are merely following last year's procedures. We feel that everyi girl on campus is worthy of the title so we cannot understand why none of our co-eds have been nominated. ANY GIRL ELIGIBLE Contrary to any opinion expressed by ONLY ONE member of the editorial staff, ANY girl is eligible to compete regardless of her class. Every member of the judging committee was asked if he preferred to limit the competition to seniors or if the selection should be based on the entire enrollment at the college. ONLY ONE member felt that the judging should be restricted to include only seniors; every other member voted to maintain the traditional rule that all girls nominated should be considered for the title. ALUMNI COOPERATION The Alumni Association is working hard to make this year's Homecoming one of the best ever held at the college. Anita Janerich, Alumni Secretary, and Russ Picton, Alumni Executive Secretary, have been working on the details and have set up a schedule of homecoming activities. Mrs. Janerich has informed us that she will make a gift of a crown and a royal robe to the Beacon on behalf of the Alumni Association. The regal attire will be available for all college aeUvities, such as the Homecoming and the Cinderella Ball.

Letter to the Editor •.• Dear Madam Editor: We, the men of Warner Hall, both freshman and upperclassmen, are appalled and grieved by the antics of a certain notorious senior. This senior, amazingly enough, holds a respectable position as one of the representatives of his class to the student council. One of the things that amazed us with this senior is that he was recently a member of the Tribunal. We alwa ys thought that Tribunals were set up to administer justice, but apparently this is not so. We also thought that members of a Tribunal should be the first to uphold the philosophy of such an organization. We were repulsed and disgusted when we heard that this "high. minded" s e n i o r student council member and Tribunal representative had the effrontery and brass to compel a "lousy frosh" to get down on her hands and knees and eat grass. We were doubly repulsed to note that the "frosh" concerned was a girl. But, what really made us sick to the stomach, disgusted, repulsed, and words that we cannot use, was the recent action of this notorious individual at the Freshman Dance Friday evening. We'd like to ex t en d our compliments to the young lady involved, for holding her temper. We extend our sympaty to her, that she was subjected to a proposal by such an egotistical and such an inferior creature as the jackass involved. We were reminded of the section in the freshman handbook that talked about social ostracism for the "frosh" who could not live up to the standards of a freshman. We suggest social ostracism for this egotistical slob who has become a senior in college, a sergenat in the Air Force, reached the age of manhood, and yet who has never been able to lean, the social amenities and the qualities of decency and humanity t h a t characterize even the lowliest "frosh" who has ever entered Wilkes. Joe, the men of Warner salute you.

What the "Club Oasis" is has been kept a dee,p secret but plans were finally revealed •to this Beacon reporter. The "Club Oasis" is the name of the nightclub that the Junior Class plans to open for one evening only on October 18. The night club f o rm a t will be followed throughout the evening. There will be a " cover charge" for all couples who attend, payable at the door or to any class member selling tickets. The Junior Class plans to have waiter s and cigarette and coatcheck girls on duty for most of the e v en in g. There will be a maitre 'de at the door to escort couples to their tables. Reservations for the tables at the dance ca,n be made by telling the class member to whom you give your cover charge the names of the people in the group that you wish at your table. The tables will be attractively decorated in the nightclub theme. Music will be provided by The Diplomats, and Phyllis Ruby, recording ar, will be featured. Dancing will be from 9 to 12.

In her f r eshman year, she received the mathematics major, is teaching a Friday, October 11, 1957 .. (continued on page 5) Money Matters It's that time of the year again. The student organizations have all submitted their budgets to the Student Council. As usual, the requests exceed the amount given by the Administration to the Council. Thus our representatives are stuck with the thankless task of paring the budgets, without impairing the services provided. This year the council has $12,360 to distribute. Last year's council had $11,000 to apportion between nine different activities. This was done with a ]illinimum of confusion and a maximum of efficiency. But then, at the end of the "bookkeeping year", it was reported that the Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) Fund was some $1400 in the red. In some cases the reported deficits were correct as stated, although in others the situation appears to have been remedied or at least improved by late receipts. So, that, in the final analysis, the fund did not fare as badly as the bookkeeping "system" would lead one to believe. Be that as it may, it ROOM TO GROW appears that this year's allocation to the fund has been based on last year's $11,000 with the $1,360 increase being added to offset amounts that the activities allegedly went into the ho 1 e last year. And this y ear there's another organization sharing the fund! By the way, did you ever wonder what became of the half of one per cent that was cut f r o m the ECA allotment? We still have nothing but rumors. A Deserved Tribute This deparhnent today salutes a man who has devoted the last three years to making the Class of 1958 one of the most unified and strongest classes ever to grace this campus. B e g i n n i n g in the Freshman year, he took the reins and led the class to a year of financial and social success. In the past two years the class h a s progressed i n this vein, growing sounder and more sure of itself under his "Hope they fit at the end of the year, Ronnie!" leadership. He was originator of many novel and unusual events on campus; many others were not his own ideas, but were pushed by him and thus became realities. Among the many accomplishments of this individual we can list the establishment of the Class Memorial Fund (an idea imitated by most succeeding classes); the annual Class Banquet and Dance; the creation of a Class Council, with representatives from all departments; and the ever-popular Beard Dance. Besides his untiring work for the Class of '58, he also has done a great deal for the college as a whole. This senior was the chairman of the School Spirit Committee, which attempted to get some positive response out of the students in the way of support for the athletic program. To this end, the idea of a parade and bonfire was brought up and carried out under his able leadership. The list of his accomplishments could go on to mention that he founded the Wilkes College chapter of the Collegiate Conference for the United Nations, carried out a hazing program, started the selling of chrysanthemums at the Homecoming game and originated the Chrismtas holiday dance. These are but the most notable of his achievements. We have not mentioned the numerous class meetings he ran, the work at dances, supporting himself with one or more jobs off campus and keeping up with studies. We take this opportunity to load all 21 guns for a salute toDave Vann. Welcome to the Space Age Dr. Stanko Vujica, head of the Philosophy and Religion Department, says it should come as no surprise that Russia was the first to launch an artificial moon. They've had so much experience in creating satellites. The event also brought about a revival of that old favorite: "By the Light of the Soviet Moon". �Friday; Octoha.r -11. 1957 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON PA. STATE LANGUAGE CONVENTION NATL.

It Carroll was noatchore to follow Mr. Groh's suggestion to let the imagination fill in for any lack in stage setting. For a few moments the audience did not see the stage of the gym as such, but as a Victorian drawing room; a study belonging to Professor Higgins, or an Irish cottage. The first scene that Miss Carroll and Mr. Rosqui reproduced was from Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest", in which the young lady, receives a suitor called Earnest. A convenient coincidence, for she says she has always wanted to love someone named as such. In .the course of the conversation she admits that he "produces vibrati_ons" in her, but finally rejects him beca,use of his lowly birth.

HIRSHOWITZ WILKES-BARRE, PA. ~ BROS �Friday, September 20, 1957 WDJCES· COLLEGE BEACON 4 DEAN OF MEN GEORGE RALSTON RETURNS TO GRID COACHING JOB by John Cook George Ralston looks like an athlete. His is the compact body of the man who has spent considerable time on the playing field; hard and firm, capable of instantaneous execution of the demands of the mind. This semester he will :put to good use the experience gained through a half lifetime of playing and coaching in the :performance of his duties as head coach of the Wilkes football squad. By no means a newcomer to sports at Wilkes, Dean Ralston serves as Director of Athletics for the school. Four years of varsity football and baseball at Susquehanna High School prepared him for participation in the same sports at the 1University of North Carolina, as a result of which he received Grail Scholarship trophies. J ncidentally, while at the university;·· Dean Ralston roomed with George Stirnweiss, who was later to achieve fame as second baseman for the New York Yankees. World War II saw Dean Ralston in khaki, and in 1946 he was discharged from the Army with the rank of major, whereupon he came to Wilkes and was appointed Director of Athletics. That fall, he Coach Ralston spark-plugged the football team with uncommon zeal, leading the squad to an impressive undefeated, untied record. Again in 1949 he produced a superlative team, the highest-scoring in the state for that season. In 1955 Dean Ralston left Wilkes for a :period of one year to study for his doctorate at Columbia University, returning not only with his degree, but also with a wife, the f o r m e r Mrs. Helen Bitler Hawkins. During his absence Mr. Russell :Picton served as head grid coach. A graduate of Wilkes and president of both his class and the Letterman's Club in his senior year, Mr. Picton had worked under the Dean as an assistant coach for two year. An advocate of sports for everyone, Dean Ralston believes that such activities constitute an intrinsic part of education, providing opportunities for development not available in the classroom. Quoting a former president of Harvard College, the Dean r e f err e d to sports as '',probably the best lab in college," a place to develop such virtues as sacrifice, self-discipline, and self-reliance. During the course of a 60-minute football game, a quarterback is required to make a minimum of 163 instantaneous, un-aided decisions1 probably more than those made by a business executive in a month. Dean Ralston intends to employ a basic single-wing attack this year, as he has in the past. INTRAMURAL BOWLING SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 6 AT J.C.C. The Intramural bowling season is tentatively scheduled to begin operations · in the newly renovated Jewish Community Center alleys on Sunday, October 6. All persons interested in participating are urged to get their names on the list posted on the bulletin board outside the cafeteria. Becaus·e of the new automatic pin-setters, the -p rice of the games has been raised by the JOC to 45 cents. Shoe rental is 15 cents. The trophy fund fee will remain at 5 cents per game, in spite of the rising costs of trophies in the past year. Because of the automatic alleys, however, the necessity for tipping pinboys ha-s been banished, making the cost of bowling this season only slightly higher than last. A team handicap m et h o d of scoring will be employed {his year, it was announced ·b y student director Dick Myers. Instead of allowing more powerful teams to roll up huge margins over less fortunate ones, the averages of each team member will be added before the contest, and two-thirds of the difference in the totals will beawarded to the lesser team. That figure will be that team's handicap for the entire three-game series. For the first night of bowling, the first game will -be played_with no handicap. For the second contest, two-thirds of the difference in total pinfall will be awarded to the lesser team as their handicap for that game, then for the final match, the "spot" will ·b e determined by the totals of the first two games combined. From the first night until the end of the season, a running record will be kept of all bowlers, averages, and total pinfalls. A form listing the official league averages of all bowlers will be issued to each team c a p t a i n immediately preceding each series. If sufficient bowlers are avaitable, two leagues will be formed. With the automatic equipment, the JCC is open earlier than in the past, and both leagues will be able to bowl in the same night, giving everyone a chance .t o bowl every week rather than once every two weeks, as the hand-set lLll!S made THE GO FOR UM .. ..Today's most exciting cigarette!

This current is neither fa,vorable, complimentary, nor in some cases - well founded. It is not the intenNick Giordano tion of this r epor ter to present arguments which cannot be backed up · by sound logic, nor is there any intent to allow this column ,t o be used by irate fans and students as an outlet for their ire over the ha,pless eleven. There are, however, a· few comments which are stric-tly objective and pose merely academic problems which can be debatd without undue heat entering the discussion. The ma,i n complaint, of a technical nature, seems to be that the offense employed by the Colonels is outdated and ineffective. The results of games played to date seem to give this argument considerable merit. The single-wing formation is basically a power play, requiring a high degree of skill, fine timing, and a .backfield capable of ripping _ through a line at high speed. The linemen must be big, heavy, and fast. On paper, there is no reason why such a formation should be unsuccessful with the Wilkes squad. The fact of the matter is that with Last Friday night, a fired-up barely two full teams in uniform and in condition to play, the Colonels Ithaca team, led by Al Cain, ripped are sadly lacking the essential ingredient for a singl~wing team the Colonels hy a 19-0 score at. the manpower. 1 New York State home field.

There are no rosters available to the Beacon at the time of this writing, therefore i,t is not ,known whether the champs have been assimilated into other teams, or have decided to rest on their laurels.

TWO CO-EDS TO SPEAK ROOMER'S RUMORS AT ED. CLUB MEETING by Marion J. Klawonn by Ruth Younger Indications predict that the program for the E d U C at i On Chm meeting October 17, at Sturdevant Hall will be exceptionally fine. Mary Lou Spinelli and Carolyn Goeringer will speak on the social conditions of Europe and show slides of that continent. These two co-eds are well qualified to speak on this topic, since they traveled in Europe this summer with the National Student Council of the YWCA and the YMCA. Their tour was quite extensive, including such countries as France, England, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, and the Netherlands. In these countries, the students observed several social and economic conditiohs which affect education. By understanding these conditions, it is hoped that our own American education system can be evaluated more thoroughly through comparisons. Joseph Ludgate, ,p resident of the club, will -p reside at a short business meeting following the program. Plans for the Homecoming Decorating Party, to •be held October 22, will be made. Last week, Rita Matiskella and Ruth Younger gave reports on the Na ti on a I Education Association Conference which they attended with Joseph Ludgate on September 27 and 28. Joe, who is also vicepresident of the Pennsylvania State Naitional Education Association for Students, led discussions at this conference. The topic was "The Purposes and Programs for the Local College Student Education Association of Pennsylvania". Apologies to Ashley Hall for not mentioning that they worked in cooperation wi-th Catlin in decorating the goal posts for the Lebanon Valley game. Jim Mosier a,nd the JDC have an n o u n c e d that the interdorm basketball season will begin as soon as the teams can be drawn up and the gym arranged for.

With the goal of $3,850, the entire college is working dilligently to achieve the mark. The students under Chairman Tom Ruggiero ;md Co-chairmen Ed Kotula and Ron Tremayne are pl;m11j11g to raise $1,000 toward the ultimate goal. Each class president is acting as class chairman and has a•p.pofnted committees to collect the donations from individual students. Every student is expected to contribute at least one dollar (although any amount will be accepted). Considering that we have 950 students, the classes expect to contribute approximately $950. The chairmen hope to raise t}:ie remainder of $50 through campus clubs and the United Fund Dance which the Biolog y Club has consented to sponsor. Class competition is urged.

MqttiQU Pep Rally to be Held Next Friday Evening At Kingston Bonfire by Barbara Vose The School S•p irit Committee has started the year with flying colors by laying plans for a combined parade, bonfire, and pep rally. The tentative program begins with the forming of a parade, including the band, cheerleaders, a car caravan, and Wilkes students backing them up, in front of Chase Hall on Friday, October 25, at 6:30 P.M. Also, the traditional Wilkes Colonels will make their first appearance of this year. Elected by the School S•pirit Committee, they are Andy Pavlock and Charles Kirschner. Clubs and dorms are asked to enter their individual cars in the caravan, perhaps using decorations which will carry out their Homecoming theme. The Homecoming queen and princesses, the coaches, and teams will ride in the first few cars. A -p rize will be awarded to one of the competing cars. The parade will go to a designated place in Kingston where a bonfire and pep rally will be held. This is in preparation for the soccer and football games which are to -b e held the following day. The program will be over by nine so that the students may proceed to the dance sponsored by the Biology Club. ASSEMBLY CANCELLED Mrs. Gertrude A. Doane. dean of women, announced that next Tuesday's assembly has been cancelled. The assembly, which was to be presented by the Cue 'n' Curtain, was cancelled because of illness of many cast member!J. Miss Phyllis Ruby is the feature attraction of the "Club Oasis" and is well qualified as a night club entertainer.

Miss Ruby is appearing at the Twin Grill - Europa Lounge nightly with the Lee Vincent quintet. The Diplomats, a talented and · versatile ensemble appearing in, this area for the first time, will p·rovide music for dancing. To carry out the theme of a night club, various members of the Junior Class will serve as waiters for thirsty dancers desiring refreshment. There will be cigarette girls in the traditional outfits and, pf course, coat-checking girls.

Presently the group is planning a bonfire which is tentatively scheduled for next Friday. This activity is designed to create more enthusiasm within the student body and to begin the Homecoming festivities. School spirit cannot be developed merely because a group of people get together to sponsor an activity, however. It can only be developed when every student shows his interest in the college by supporting athletic teams and social organizations. Last year's Homecoming was the best ever in the history of the college because of the enthusiasm shown by students, members of the faculty, and members of the Alumni Association. We can all enjoy the same type of affair this year if everyone will let his hair down and join in the festivities next weekend. Last year's Homecoming was a memorable one; let's make this year's even better. Need New Shoes? Tom McHale, who has been a regular advertiser in the Beacon to date, is offering a free pair of The Hub's well-known Bostonian shoes to some lucky Wilkes male. Mr. McHale, because of his interest in local schools, has stated that the shoes will be given away if one hundred men from the college will stop in the shoe department of The Hub and register as contestants for a drawing, which will be held after the hundredth student has registered. There is nothing to buy, no obligation. Simply go in and sign up with Tom McHale. Who knows? You may be the lucky winner of a pair of Bostonian shoes. Give the United Way Support the United Fund Once again the college has made an appeal to every student to donate a very small amount of his spending money to a worthy cause, the United Fund Drive. This is the only time of the year that we are asked to donate money to any charity, but we are frequently given free public services, such as the Chest X-rays sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Department of Health. -Jan WIL~ COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes CoUege, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Friday, October 18, 1957 by Dick Bibler During the past two years, over $2500 has been given or pledged to the improvement and development of Wilkes College by members of the student body and recent graduates_ The agency which is responsible for this valuable aid has been the Class Memorial Fund Plan - a plan conceived in their sophomore year by this year's graduating class and adopted by every class since that time, beginning with the class of 1956. The plan was introduced by Dave Vann, a senior this year. Graduating classes since time immemorial have given class gifts to their colleges as a means of perpetuating the memory of their classes_ Many times because of insufficient funds, the gift was of no consequence or of little value. to the college. Usually, in order to make up for this lack of funds, each member of the senior class was assessed just when it could be least · afforded - in the senior year. In addition, the gift was often destroyed because of the physical changes on the college campus. After considering these problems, the class memorial plan was originated so that the graduates could ~ive something worthwhile with the minimum of difficulty. By class direction,the funds are to be raised from an assessment of $1.00 per semester for each student. Upon the request of the classes adopting the plan, Dr. Farley directed the com1>troller to add $1.00 to each student's tuition which would enable the classes to have the funds collected and recorded for them without any bookkeeping ;problem on their ,p art. The funds then would be used as the classes decide in their senior year. It has proved to be highly successful with only a minimum of financial strain on the individual student. A report of the class memorial funds follow: Class Memorial Funds Class of 1956 .... . . .. $ 407.80 591.00 Class Class Class Class of of of of 1957 1958 1959 1960 .. . . .. .. . .. .. ... . 998.80 596.57 350.00 565.00 $2,510.31 The Class of 1956 also contributed a Trophy Case in addition to the Memorial Fund and an Alumni Fund. The Class of 1957 gave a globe as a gift to the college, in addition to the Fund. Each year the Memorial Fund Report is publicized in the Beacon and in the Alumnus, Alumni magazine, so that everyone is informed of their class achievement. The class funds of 1958 and 1959 are not yet completed and are still growing. The class of 1960 will begin the fund this year as voted upon by the class last spring. As indicated by the class of 1956 report, annual alumni contributions will be added to the class totals each year so that at any time, the graduating classes can see how much they have given to the college through their memorial funds and •purposes for which it was used. The Class Memorial Fund is a new idea in class and alumni giving designed to be of service to the college in years to come.

During the week of November 4, all Orientation Classes will meet at their regularly scheduled times in the Projection Theater. There is only one of "us". "We" exist in only one body and "our" opinions are the product of one mind. But "we" are "we" as a matter of journalistic form. In the early Nineteenth Century, the editorials of a newspaper were written by one man, the editor. When he expressed an opinion, it was prefixed with: "I believe . . . " Later in the century newspapers became Big Business and complexity of organization led to editorial staffs and soon the 'T' was replaced by the editorial "we". Since that time the use of the first person plural has spread so that today it is used almost exclusively. "We", in "our" column, therefore adopted this form of expression, which also is used by nearly every columnist in the field of journalism. When "we" express an opinion, it is "our" singular opinion and not that of this newspaper or an official statement of the Beacon's policies. We are "ONLY ONE" member of the editorial staff. However, as a columnist "we" have the right to differ in opinion with the views of the editor. This right was established by the late Heywood Broun of the New York World and WorldTelegram, notably in his championing of Sacco and Vanzetti. Since that time editors have realized that readiness to show both sides of an argument emphasizes to the readers that the paper is broadminded and fair. For Example We do not agree with the majority opinion of the editors on the matter of the selection of the Homecoming Queen. We feel that the honors should go to the senior girls, the ones who have earned the respect and confidence of the students and faculty and have proved that they are worthy of the honors bestowed. Not that we have anything against any of the previous Cinderellas or Homecoming Queens, but from the standpoint that girls who are popular as freshmen may not even remain at Wilkes for their degree, but may leave for any number of reasons_ There has been some favorable comment on the proposal from the faculty and students, but so far no one has made a survey of student opinion as a whole. We did do some looking into the situation ourselves. Last week we had the pleasure of interviewing one of Wilkes' royal ladies, Miss Jacqueline Oliver. In case you're a frosh, Jackie was Cinderella in 1955. She had some interesting comments. For one thing, she agreed with us that the honor of being Cinderella means a good deal more to a senior than it does to a freshman. Jackie stated that having won the title as a frosh was a thrill, but that the honor would have been a great deal more meaningful if she had been a senior. Moreover, it made for awkward situations the following year and last year when she was nominated again. What girl would not like to be Cinderella, but she didn't want to deprive the others of a chance. And yet, how many times could she refuse a nomination without injuring the feelings of the friends who had nominated her? P.S. We still think that she's lovely and charming enough to be Cinderella, even though she's now an "old" senior. Scattershots After chewing out the Paint Your Wagon cast at one of those rehearsals where everything seems to go wrong, Al Groh made amends as follows: "I apologize, but I don't take back a word I said!" Sometimes the only thing that keeps Wilkes students going is the lack of a parking place. A hobby is a habit that costs money. But don't worry, money isn't everything; good health is 5%. Then there's the one about the homesick artificial moon that looked down as it passed its home base and saw a glow. Whereupon it radioed back: "Is satellite in the window for me?" You Never Had It So Good! Next time anyone complains about the Beacon, were going to refer them to Louis Fischer's latest book, Russia Revisited. He states: "Soviet newspapers are as unappetizing as regurgitated dishwater and as exciting as the minutes of last month's meeting of the board of directors of a zipper·factory." The book is an interesting commentary on life in the Soviet Union. Fischer, who lived in Moscow from 1922 to 1938 as a foreign correspondent, returned in 1956 and spent his entire stay talking with the people of Russia and the satellite nations. The crowded living conditions are disclosed - four or five persons living in one room with no plumbing, while the state builds skyscrapers to honor its "heroes". Soviet incomes are compared with those of the United States. The average Russian worker's 500-800 roubles per month would be equal to about $200 maximum in greenbacks at the official rate of exchange. However, at that rate an egg sells for 25 cents, cotton pajamas for $66.75, and an ice cream cone for 50 cents. Political conditions have changed in Russia since the death of Stalin, according to the author. People are more willing to discuss and even, albeit quietly, criticize their government. Fischer writes about people he knows and of those he meets on the streets. His style is direct and readable. One of the best sections of the book is the description of the Poznan Revolution, which is quite vivid, as though one were re-living the experi(continued on page 6) �Friday, October 18, 1957 3 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON GIVEN BY MERCK CO.

Three hundred dollars had ,p reviously been awarded by Ciba Chemicals. lt was emphasized by both companies that it is very unusual for industrv to subsidize research on the und~rgraduate level. It is believed that Wilkes is the only undL•rgraduate school in the United States so subsidized.

PLAYOFFS In Rushing, Third for Sam Puma Possible. Slarler Total Yardage by ECAC As Early-Season ln1ury Heals by Jim Hennighan The hooters will play Bucknell this afternoon at Lewisburg, Pa., in a new game added to the schedule. This brings the total of Middle Atlantic Conference games to six, the minimum required for eligibility to the MASCAC postseason playoff tournament. The Bisons and Colonels have been in some thrilling games during their series. Two years ago, for instance, the teams battled to a 2-2 tie. Last season they went at it again with another frustrating tie game, this time by a 1-1 score. The Wilkes soccer team opens its home stand this coming Thursday, October 24, in a match with Philadelphia Textile Institute at Kirby Park The match starts at 3 P.M. and the field, for the information of those who have never attended before, is located along the dike opposite the tennis courts. The Philadelphia team has always had a very good record and last week the current team showed good power and :balance in tying a very powerful Howard University squad, in a one-one match. The Textile team is loaded with talent and is the slickest ball handling 1 club the Wilkes hooters will meet. The ball handling ability is provided by the foreign born players that man the forward wall for the Philadeliphia ,h ooters. That city is in itself a hotbox of enthusiasm for soccer. Therefore, experienced players are always available. The ,Colonel boo.ters lost to the Textile team by a 3-1 count last year and are out to avenge the defeat come Thursday afternoon. Coach Jim Ferris' hooters appear to be in excellent physical shape for the coming contest with no a,p parent injuries. In addition they are in excellent spirits after the 3-0 Rider victory and have a right to be, for Coach Ferris had praise for the whole team in what he called a "team victory" over a rugged Rider squad. So with the first home game of the season, and an excellent one at that, being played at Kirby Park on Thursday, October 24, here is your opportunity to come out and cheer your hooters on to their second victory. For many this will be the first soccer match they have ever seen, but whether a new fan or an old one, get out and root for your team on Thursday. 1 by Dick Myers, Sports Editor There was a question raised during the pas.t few days over last issue's 'Athlete of the Week'. The question concerned itself with the cho-ice of a man who stopped twenty-some scores in a losing game over a man who scored three goals himself in the first win. The answer is now rather evident, •b ut still needs •p ossible clarification. This is simple to do when one has concrete exam.pies to use. The game for which Bob Payne was chosen last issue's honored guest was played on Saturday, the last day of the week. Any athlete who ,p layed up to that day was eligible for selection to the award. The game in which Nick Giordano scored three goals was played last Wednesday and for which he is this issue's 'Athlete of the Week'. It's really quite simple to explain when one understands that last week's games had no bearing whatsoever on last week's award winner. In fact, Payne had been chosen before Wednesday's game had even been played. For all we know, he might have been the outstanding player of Wednesday's contest and then would have been this week's winner. The winners are chosen on Tuesday night - Beacon :publication night - for games ending the previous Saturday. That's all there is to it. For those who are curious about the method of selection, we must remind .them that the men so chosen in no way reflect the opinions of coaches, other players, or fans in general. The "Athlete of the Week" feature is a Beacon ,p roject, and the men honored are chosen by the Beacon sports staff. In that maitter, this writer has one vote, just as his reporters have. It is true that we often ask the coaches and other .p layers for advice in our selections, but these queries are personal, and as such, are only used as guides for the aid of one man in making his selection. THE SAME OLD PROBLEM The ,bowling leagues began with the College League rolling in an absence-studded night last Sunday. This is particularly discouraging to those who are responsible for the league's existence but is quite annoying .to the teams who had at least .p a1tial representation. Anyone who agrees to participate in such an activity has obligations to fulfill, if not to go to participate unfailingly, at least to give ample notification of their inability to participate. Out of the eighteen people who failed to put in an appearance last week, only two had notified their captains beforehand. It is true that this was ,t he first week of action, therefore, some confusion may have been the cause of the trouble. Even the members of the Faculty team were laoking in their co-operation. This is a good time ,t o nip the thing in the bud. There will be schedules posted and ,p ublished, team captains will be aware of all details regarding their nights of bowling, ,t hus we should e~pect no more failures, which may give the College a bad name with its community affiliations. Anyone - who .put his name on the .list posted on the bulletin board has signified his desire to be a :part of the program; it should not then be left to the directors and team captains to face the embarrassments to which they were subjected last week. MORE ABOUT AN "OL' COLONEL" Cliff Brautigan, formerly of Wilkes and now with .t he Jersey Sharks professional football team, suffered a shoulder separation in the game with the Venango (Delaware) Bears. It was the Sharks' second game of the season and their second win. Brautigan earned a starting berth on the 60-man squad as offensive tackle. Last week, the pros' coach cut the team Ito 45 men, but still carries Brautigan on the roster, which could be an indication of the wo1th of the former Wilkes athlete to the "play-for-pay" ,b oys. Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels will take a trip to Ursinus Ronnie Rescigno, who has been making news on the local scene, College in Collegeville, Pa., with nothing on their minds but has added the wire services to his their first win of the year. lis.t of news media.

Though no official figures are available, returns have not yej; reached full ex,pectations, as many students have been absent from classes. Students who have not made their contributions as of today are asked to do so as soon as possible. The coHege's goal is $-3,850. Of this, the student body must raise $1,000. Each student is 11,~ked ,tq contribute at le11,st one dollar. In view of the many services one m11,y receive from the Uni j; e d Fup.d throiighout the year, t}lis is a smaJI amount to contribute tow11,r!i its support. The Uni.ted Fund has been organized with an eye toward eliminating the many separate fundraising campaigns held throughout the year in Wyoming Valley. Class presidents are acting as chairmen of their respective class campaigns, and h a· v e appointed committees, whose duty is to solicit ''d mtributions from individual students.

The title of this column is intended to indicate the policy of the writer (see dictionary). Just three weeks ago today, a small round object, literally hooting derision at the Free World, began its orbital journey into history. The U,S.S.R., using rocket engines with five times the thrust of the largest we have, launched a satellite or "Sputnik" weighing 184 pounds into an elliptical path varying from 170 to 570 miles above the Eaiith. This triumph coupled with the now undoubtedly successful firing of an intercontinental ballistics missile on August 26 has, at long last, jolted us out of the state of smug complacency into which we had been lulled by over-confidence in the judgments President Eisenhower and the deliberate half-truths released to us through a friendly press. Lt is now apparent that Russia is a technical grant second to no nation. It is no longer safe or relevant to rationalize her development of an atomic bomb three years before we expected her perfection of a thermonuclear device only a year after ours, and her successful release of an H-'b omb from a plane five months before us - by protesting that she stole our atomic secrets and used cap- tured German scienitists. The Soviet, by scrapping the latest Five-Lear Plan, has been able to concentrate on certain phases of science - relatively easy in a regimented society - and she now has the potential rto hit any spot in the U.S. with an atomic bomb. Neither the American p u b 1 i c, nor, I suspect, most Congressmen had any inkling of the scope of Russian accomplishments, so the largest amount of blame for the clamor for military budget limitations lies elsewhere. Although the -Central Intelligence Agency had no ,knowledge of the actual Sputnik launching until Tass, the Soviet news agency, informed a startled world, the administration had been warned in March of the ,p ossible launching of a Russian satellite in the second half of 1957. And according to Aviation Week, a respected technical magazine, U.S. radar stations had ,been tracking -Soviet missiles for two years. It is clear that our ipolicy makers (continued on page 6) NEXT ASSEMBLY Mr. J.

Because of the lateness of the maitch, and because the Beacon had gone to press, the results were not available for this story. Now back to the Homecoming match with the Long Island college. The Hofstra hooters went down before the guns of the Wilkes soccer team in last year's match by a 2-0 count. This year's edition of the Flying Dutchmen is a vastly improved club and has gotten off to a fine start this season. The team is coached by Paul Lynner and he has back all 'but two of last year's stars. Hofstra, after giving up soccer about a decade ago, have fielded a very good :team since they renewed competition in 1955. The Wilkes hooters are ready for a hard fought match and are expecting a fast contest. The Colonels suffered a setback this last week when Clarence Michaels came wp with a blood clot in his leg. This letterman will be lost to the hooters for about two weeks. Except for this injury, the team is in excellent physical shape. Coach _Tim Ferris has contemplated no major changes in his starting lineup for the Homecoming match. The defensive ,p lay of Colonel cocaptains Ed Masonis and Tony Bianco has been outstanding. Both halfbacks have been in the thick of every game so far. Coach Jim Ferris is depending upon both to bolster the backfield in the rugged Hofstra match. Again for the information of the spectators, the 'hooters' home field is located .b etween the tennis courts and the dike at the rear of Kirby Park. The Wilkes hooters are away for their next game next Wednesday at East .St r o u d s b u r g State Teachers College. In this match, the Wilkes team meets one of the best soccer :teams in the East. The Teachers team was the national champion in 1951. And this year's club is a replica of their usual strong teams; they pass well and are strong on defense. The Wilkes hooters have never defeated the East Stroudsburg :team, and this year's Colonels are out to break the losing streak. Ed Masonis Named 'All East' Back In Weekly ECAC Poll; Records 93-Yard Romp Ron Rescigno once again is the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week". The opinion of this paper's staff of sportswriters is shared by the sportsminded of the Atlantic seaboard, for he was named to the All East t eam of the week by the E a s t er n ,Colleg-e s Athletic Conference on the strength of his fine performance in the startling 39-0 upset of Ursinus last Saturday. Ron gained a total of 120 yards from scrimmage, scored two touchdowns, set u,p another with a 38yard breakthrough, and turned in the longest run recorded in any of Saturday's collegiate games. The run was started on the Wilkes seven-yard line when the speedy little hustler took the second half's opening kickoff, scooted up t he right side of the field, reversed his direction twice, eluded s e v er a 1 would-be tacklers, and outraced :the last two Bear saftey men to record * * * * * Ronnie Rescigno Est. 1871 ··rri!it •:;/Jt.

Most of the college's clubs and organizations have been busily iplanning and preparing their decorations during the past weeks. Following ere some of the displays which will be seen around campus. Members of the Biology Club are including a large, colorful tepee in their display. The decorations, which adorn the lawn between Chase Hall and the Library, include a load of dynamite, and the Wilkes Colonel is standing by, ready to ".b last off" the Lycoming Warriors. Theta Delta Rho girls are reSIJ)onsible for the decorations on the lawn in front of Chase. This display contains the Wilkes Colonel standing between two warriors. Two totem poles nearby convey the impression that the Golo_n els can turn the warriors into worriers. The musicians of Gies Hall have a display to capture the fancy of ell local space-enthusiasts. Sputnik is the central theme of this display, and from outer space Colonel Wilkes is spying on the Lycoming Warriors. The Economics Club display at tI_>ickering features the W i Ike s Colonel holding a football in one hand, and totaling up the score of the game on a calculating machine with his other arm. Names of our football players appear on the keys ·o f the ca l c u l at or. The chief warrior is seen pleading for mercy of the C o l o n e l, following the warriors' defeat in the battle. · . Sturdevant's e d UC a t O r S are -feat~ng a large blackboard de~icting various football players. Two football players are on the ~cene, both commenting on the g11me. In addition to these and other displays by cailllJ)us organizations, the dorms contribute much color to the local seene. : Sterling Hall is the scene of a· three-dimensional p i c t u r e of a warrior beating upon a tom-tom, with the Wilkes Colonel standing by, beating the warrior on his head.

Ron's performance on Saturday brought his total yardage for the year to a very respectable 338 in four games, which should place him high in the running for Conference leadershi>p in this department. Ron's selection to the honor of the Athlete of the Week was no problem in the light of the above honors, but the selection committee faced a perplexing problem this week. Ron would probably be the first to admit that the victory was a team effort. Were it the .policy of the Beacon to make multi-pie awards for members of the same Wilkes team, thre would be 18 men named to t he title this week. The team was superb both on offense and on defen se, but few will deny that Rescigno's leadership and fire inspired his mates to excell in such j a manner. For that reason, Ron was named this week's winner in , a close balloting over seventeen other great guys.

Russia now deals from a p o s i t i o n of strength, witness, Khrushchev's tough talk to Turkey and his •bold notes to European Socialists.

MATMEN TO DRILL MONDAY IN GYM Coach John Reese has issued the call for the grapplers to begin flexing their champions' muscles and report for workouts on Monday, October 28. S e v e r a I good men were lost through graduation last year and new material is needed to replace them. Coach Reese stated that be is looking for new blood to get some depth on his squad. He emphasizes the fact that no p1·evious ex,p erience is required, that men are welcomed to come out to the gym and give the sport a trial. There may not be a lot of newcomers who will make the starting squad at once, but they will be able to gain valuable e~perience and get themselves a good head start for later seasons. The Wilkes campus will be the wrestling capitol of the East this year, with the gym being the scene of two major tournaments. The firs,t of these will -be the annual Holiday Tournament, dubbed the "Rose Bowl" of wrestling which is attended each year by hundreds of wrestlers from Pitt, Navy, Michigan, and many other big schools. The other tourney will be the Middle Atlantic Conference championships, the tournament won last year by the Colonels. Defending Veterans' Air Reserve Are you a veteran? Do you need money? -Do you want to help your country as well as yourself? If your answer to these questions is "yes", you may be interested in a newly formed organization, the 8457 the Air Terminal Squadron. Meetings will take place one weekend a month ( 4 days regular base pay). There will also be an active duty tour, which will be held at McGuire A.F.B., New Jersey. It will last for two weeks and there will be 15 days regular base pay. The location of the 8457th Air Terminal Squadron is the Air Reserve Center, Wilkes-Barre, Penna. the title on their own c a m p u s should be more incentive for the Colonels to show the Conference what a fine team they really are. The team will be led this year by co-captains Jim Ward, 1957 Beacon Athlete of the Year, and hard-working Dave Thomas. These men, along with Coach Reese, are looking forward to a fine turnout, not only of freshmen, but men from all classes. Rosters will be published in a few weeks, after Reese has had a chance to evaluate his candidates and ,pick his 1957-58 squad. • ANY SALT worth his salt will gripe when told to paint a dull hull, varnish a vast mast, or swab a dank plank.
