SCANDALE ACCEPTED TO VILLANOVA UNIV. I I ECSC Speakers Are Announced 140 Carat "Sham" Rock Offered As Top Novelty Dancers' Trophy In Tonight's Rock 'n' Roll Event by Toni Scureman The Junior class is offering a 'triple treat' to those who attend their well-publicized dance, the "Sham" Rock. __The unusual title, "Sham" Rock, has three connotations, each of which will be carried out during the evening through the decorations or the various novelties offered. Professor Gustav A. Swanson, head of the Department of Conservation at Cornell University, and Dr. George R. Seidel, technical adviser of the DuPont Company's public relations department, will be two of the principal speakers for the Eastern Colleges Science Con- R. T. Mattioli G. A SWANSON ference to be held at Wilkes on April 17, 18, and 19. Prof. Swanson and Dr. Seidel are two of the five prominent scientists in education, research, and industry, who will speak on science and particularly on research, Barry Miler, executive chairman of the conference, announced yesterday. Dr. Swanson became head of the Department of Conservation at Cornell in 1948. Previously, he had served as a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service of the U. S. Department of Interior, and was Chief of the Branch of Wildlife Research of that ,B ureau when he accepted the appointment to the Dept. of Conservation at Cornell. Dr. Seidel joined DuPont in 1936. He served as a chemist at the Baltimore pigments plant, and was also engaged in plant assistance research and sales service. For four years he was research supervisor at the DuPont Experimental S t a t i o n near Wilmington. He joined the Extension Division of the public relations department in 1955, becoming manager of the Eastern District. In 1956 he was promoted to technical adviser of the department. Deeply interested in conservation, Dr. Swanson is a charter member of the Wildlife Society and has served as Member of the Council, Vice-President, and President, and as editor of the Journal of Wildlife Management. For several years Dr. Seidel was chairman of the Education Committee of the Delawere Section of the American Chemical Society. In this position he woriked closely with high school teachers and students of Delaware. He is a member of the American Associa,tion for the SCIENCE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE OUTLINED The twelfth annual Eastern Colleges Science Conference will be held at Wilkes April 17, 18 and 19. Registrations take place from 6 to 10 p.m., Thursday, April 17, for hotel guests at Hotel Sterling, and from 8 :30 to 11 :3-0 a.m., Friday and Saturday mornings, at the Sterling for hotel guests, or at Chase Theater, Wilkes College, for non-hotel guests. The opening session will be held at 9 :15 a.m. in the Wilkes gymnasium, with welcoming remarks from Barry Miller, Executive Chairman of the conference, and Dr. Eugene S. Farley, president of the college. The key speaker wil be Dr. Glenn W. Giddings, Manager of the Research Personnel of General Electric. His topic will be "The American Scientist As a Citizen." At 10:30 a.m. concerrent lectures will be given on conservation, chemistry and psychology by Dr. Gustav A. Swanson, Head of the Department of Conservation, Cornell University; Dr. Charles G. Price, Head of the Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania; and Dr. William G. Prentice, Dean of Swarthmore College. Dr. Price's lecture will be delivered in the college gymnasium; Dr. Swanson's, in the nearby Jewish Community Center; and Dr. Prentice's, in the neighboring First Presbyterian Church. Following luncheon, industrial tours will be conducted from 1 :30 to 5:30 p.m. At a ban(luet at 6:30 p.m . in the Hotel Sterling, Dr. George R. Seidel, Technical Advisor to the Public Relations DeAdvancement of Science, the National Science Teachers Association, Sigma Xi honor scientific research society, the Scientific Research Society of America, and other scientific organizations. The most obvious, of course, is its association with ,S t. Patrick's day which was honored in various ways on the campus, such as last week's dance, and the green bows and ties worn last Monday. The "Monarchs", the band with the hi-fl beat', will provide the second treat with several renditions of rock 'n' roll numbers along with other s t y l e s of music. The "Monarchs" feature four musicians and have played at various functions throughout the Valley. The third and special attraction of the evening will be the awarding of the "sham" rock - a 140 carat diamond worth $.73 - to the couple achieving first place in one of ,t he novelty dances which the Juniors are offering. Prizes, including cigarette lighters, a billfold, jewelry, and a stuffed animal will be offered to people holding the lucky ticket and to people exhibiting proficiency in the approximately five novelty dances. During intermission, the "Crewnecks" will entertain with three or four numbers, including "To iBe Alone", «26 Miles" and "Sometimes". This versatile group is made up of five Wilkes sophomores, 'Porky' Hoats, Bob Martin, Jerry Pauley, Larry Choper and Bruce Miles. This singing quintet has appeared at various high schools, such as G.A.R., Meyers, and •P lymouth. with and without the Male Chorus. They have recently made a tape recording at station WILK, will sing at the Forest Hills Inn Saturday night, and will appear on television in Scranton on Sunday night. The Juniors are expecting a large crowd at the affair since invitations have been sent to local colleges, nurses' homes, and high schools; and because of the various attractions offered. R.

No one was asked to donate any money to the drive; instead, the group merely asked for volunteer donations of articles for which we have little or no use. Last week the Beacon published a partial list of materials which the hospital needs. To date, however, the students have shown very little interest. How can we consider ourselves future leaders if we do not understand how important it is that we help? We must remember that nothing can take the place of public awareness and understanding in mental hospital programs everywhere today. Through our small contributions to and through our interest in Retreat State Hospital we can help provide many of the patients with a step toward recovery by bringing jus a little cheer into their daily routines. Let's give it a try once again. . . . - jan by Fred Roberts A most telling argument against censorship was presented on campus last week. This, a film called The Dark River, has been banned, cut and condemned in most places where its showing has been attempted in the United States. Yet I feel that no open-minded viewer could honestly find it offensive to a reasonable sense of decency. There were those who went because rumor had it that it was "something" to see. And there were scenes of death, beatings, seduction, and two-in-a-bed sex, but they were presented in an honest, unsensational way. Some of the audience was, I am afraid, rather disappointed for the film, instead of being sexy was in many ways rather touching. -C ertainly it was raw and rough, but life if after all raw and rough too. Moreover the director handled these incidents with such pathos and fundamental morality that it would be difficult to claim that mature minds would be corrupted by seeing them on the screen. To assay the film more critically I must confess limited satisfaction because despite its stark, uncompromising realism and its technical soundness, the plot and character development seemed surprisingly unsophisticated - this of course might be called an advantage by some. In Its semi-documentary treatment of worker exploitation by cruel agents of capitalise, of the eventual freeing of the mistreated peasants after they had learned of the strength in union, and of the final retaliation against the "boss", the film smacked of Peronist propaganda especially in view of the fact that it is a product of Argentina. But despite these minor flaws, The Dark River merits the European awards it has received and more important does not deserve prohibition in this country. Its dubious reception in the United States points up the great evil of self-appointed keepers of the public morals deciding what we are to read, see and hear. The disadvantage, I think, of having someone else decide what should not be available for my perusal because it may be harmful to children or even to me, far outweighs the limited advantage such protection offers. Certainly a book such as Peyton Place approaches the limits of propriety, but it is much better to err on the side of liberality than on that of restriction. Therefore such agencies as the Legion of Decency, overzealous district attorneys and policemen, state censor boards, and even the U. S. Post Office should be kept within very narrow bounds. The Boss Has Spoken! On Finnegan's first day as a regular on the police force, the Lieutenant told him, "Finnegan, I'm giving you an easy beat to start with - just from the station house to that red light and back." Finnegan disappeared for two days. "Where the devil were you?" roared the Lieutenant. "Didn't I tell you your beat was just from here to that red light?" "You did," agreed Finnegan, "but that red light was on the back of a truck."

Future Managers View Life Cycle of a Pencil At Eberhard Faber Co. by Bill Zdancewicz Members of the Society for the Advancement of Management Club and their guests toured the Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory at Mountaintop last Thursday afternoon to view the manufacturing processes whic make up the veryday pencil. The tour began in the Lead Plant of Eberhard Faber with the raw materials of clay, graphite, and wood; and completed with the finished product - the pencil. A surprising bit of news which most persons fail to realize is that what we call "lead" in a pencil, actually isn't lead at all! The black pencil "lead" is a combination of clay and graphite, and the colored pencil "lead" consists primarily of wax. The making of black "lead" requires only 15 minutes, due to pressure used; whereas colored "lead" making requires several hours. The clay-graphite mixture, when compressed, is put into a crucible and heated to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the mixture is cooled and put into a pressure bath where the pores of the "lead" become impregnated, resulting in a smoother writing quality in the pencil. After the "lead" passes through compressors, it appears similar to spaghetti in long continuous strands. Then it passes through an extruding process which straightens the "lead" to the desired length. Though a majority of the work is done by machines in the pencil factory, some tasks still require manual labor. One of these proved interesting to the students - that of having women "iron" the colored "lead" to get it straight. The wood used in Eberhard Faber pencils is of a soft quality cedar which they get from Virginia and California. While in the wood area of the plant, the students were shown.the "lead" insertion process in pencil making. It began with the plain cedar wood, followed by the cutting of grooves, inserting the "lead", applying the top cover of wood, and finally applying pressure. This process is known as making a "pencil sandwich". After the "sandwich" is completed, it continues on to the cutting stage where the pencil begins to take shape. Another interesting process at the pencil factory is the sanding machine which sands six side of the pencil in one operation. The sanding belts are pitched at different degrees to accomplish this task. The next operation was the painting of the pencils in the Varnish Room. The red and blue marking p e n c i l s surprisingly enough are first painted blue and then they are dipped halfway into the red paint. The pencils painted a solid color pass through a machine , into a "paint pot", and when they come out they are almost completely dry. Folowing the lettering process, the erasers are put on the pencils. This latter process, five steps in all, is done by one machine. The pencils are then ready for packaging. Machine packaging, which puts the pencils in sleeves forming a box, completes 50 dozen in a minute. Manual packaging is also done, such as on special and/or small orders. The students also toured the metal plant, the design and engin eering section, and the pilot labora tory. The pilot lab is used for experimental formulations and new developments. Students attending the tour of the pencil factory were: Joe Leibman, Arnie Hoeflich, Myron Suseck, Peggy Kratz, Judy Weiss, Charlie Grymko, Jim Cornelius, Len Mulcahy, Carl Karmilowicz, Harold Shannon, Bob .Scally, Joan Rishkofsky, Marion Klawonn, Tom Lally, Charlie Jones, Herman Flissner, and Bill Zdancewicz. Bill Zdancewicz The Wilkes Jaycees repeat their request for assistance from , the student body in their gift campaign for the patients at Retreat State Hospital. As of this date, the campaign is one week old and very few articles have been contributed by the students. A misplacement of the boxes had occured earlier this week, but since then it has been straightened out. Moreover, a collection box was located in the cafeteria throughout this week and still just a minor amount of articles were contributed. This campaign is worthy of each student's attention because of the tremendous value each article donated possesses. The path of recovery for the patients at the Retreat State Hospital is · a long one and every little effort the people of a community put forth (including students) aids to make the path a little shorter or at least a little bit easier to bear. We are fortunate ones, not having suffered from mental illness, therefore, we should be thankful and willing to help those persons who suffer from this misfortune. Whenever individuals are asked to contribute to a worthy cause, it goes without saying that the person should do it from the bottom of his heart. The same is true for the Jaycees' campaign. Yet, the response received during the first week of their effort, shows a definite lack of cooperation and participation by the student body of Wilkes. As a result of recent publicity appearing in one of the local newspapers, several telephone calls were received from people within the community who stated that they wanted to contribute articles to the campaign. The students of Wilkes should keep the previous statement in mind when they are debating whether or not they should contribute. In addition to helping the patients at the Retreat State Hospital, students contributing articles to this campaign are also promoting the good will of their alma mater - Wilkes College. Each of us, whether we realize it or not, represent Wilkes both on and off the campus. What we do or fail to do in aiding to build good will is each student's responsibility. Repeating the request of the Wilkes Jaycees once again they wholeheartedly request the support of all stutents at the college to support their gift campaign for the patients at the Retreat State Hospital. (The poster in the cafeteria contains a list of suggested articles to donate; however, the Jaycees will accept any other articles which students wish to contribute to this worthy cause.) Nothing First! April Fool's Day may be eleven days away but we can't help but feel the well-known trickster custom has already arrived! We refer of course to the first prize being offered by the Economics Club in their April Fool's Drawing. NOTHING ... NOTHING! That is first prize - nothing! Undoubtedly the first prize has something to do with April 1st. Surely nothing will be something! The remaining prizes in the drawing are . . . something ... well worth winning! (Second prize, five dollars in cash; Third prize, Man's or Woman's Electric Shaver; and Fourth prize, G.E. or Westinghouse Radio.) . The Econ members have a good publicity angle with their drawing; however, we are looking forward to the list of winners . . . especially the first prize winner! Good luck on your chances. Long and Narrow Overheard in the Alumni Office: " ... And then there was the man whose cat was run over by a steam roller. He stood there with a long puss!" Alumni News Vincent P. Macri, a graduate of Wilkes College, Class of 'SO, has recently become affiliated with the general insurance firm of McNamara, Marcus and Co., in Pittston. Vince will specialize in life, accident and health insurance with the Pittston agency. Prior to his new position Vince had been with the Prudential Insurance Co. in Coatesville. While at Wilkes, Vince was editor of the Beacon for two years. Vince resides at 12 Columbus Ave., Wilkes-Barre, with his wife, the former Helen Scrippins of Wilkes-Barre Township. Vince is also a family man, two girls (Annette and Susan). Bravo! Bravo! Bouquets of congratulations go to the Cue 'n' Curtain drama group of Wilkes for the wonderful performances they gave in three one-act plays earlier this week. We attended the Tuesday evening performance and witnessed excellent acting and direction by students of the drama group. In Ways and Means Neshama Rosenbaum had difficulty making the venetian blind stay in place. However, she filled in with dialogue superbly, just like the trooper she is. Sandra Ungar who played Hulda in The Unseen, stole the show with her fine performance of the inexperienced maid. Her easy-going, true to life acting of a foreign maid captured the audience with laughter. The Cask of Amantillado offered a contrast of acting to the two comedies preceding it. All in all, the three plays provided an entertaining evening to the students, faculty, and public in attendance. 0 �WJLm3 COLLEGE BF.AeoN - Ftiday, March 21, 1958 MODEL GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEXT WEEK Harold E. Stassen and Daniel Flood to Speak _ _ At Plenary Sessions Friday and Saturday; 48 Colleges and Universities Will Attend by Mary Louise Onufer Harold E. Stassen and ' Congressman Daniel Flood will be the guest speakers at the plenary sessions of the model general assembly which the Wilkes Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations will sponsor next weekend. Stassen is a former governor of Minnesota, special assistant to the President, and U. S. representative, on the , Disarmament Commission of the United Nations. He will address the first plenary session on Friday evening, March 28, beginning at seven o'clook. He will speak to the collegiate group on disarmament. Saturday afternoon's p le n a r y session will feature Congressman Daniel Flood, Democrat representative for the 11th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. The title of Congressman Flood's speech was not known at the time of publication but it will concern some matter of international significance. Wilkes College will host approximately 500 college students from over 48 colleges and universities throughout the Middle Atlantic region of the United States. These students will form a model general assembly patterned after the international body in New York City. Each school will participate as an individual country and will offer resolutions and enter debate with the welfare of that particular country ih mind. Wiikes will represent Ghana and the delegation headed by Don Murray has been giving special consideration to the problems of the newly-formed west African state. Besides getting first-hand information and advice from Seth Ansah, Wilkes junior who is a native of the Gold Coast, which is now ineluded in Ghana, the delegates have been in correspondence with the Embassy of Ghana and its representatives to the United Nations. The delegation has also gathered all of the material about this country which was discussed at last year's mock assembly held at Princeton. Last year Wilkes represented Morocco and was equally fortunate in having the advice of Henriette Abenmoha, Wilkes senior who is a native of that country. An award will be given at the PROGRAM OFFERED FOR STUDY ABROAD - The Institute of International Education announced that American students will be given added opportunities to study in Ireland during the 1958-59 school term. The opportunities are a result of a new bi-national educational exchange program between Ireland and the United States. The a w a r d s for pre-doctoral study and research in Eire cover international travel, tuition, books, and maintenance for the academic year. Basic requirements are a United States citizenship, a college degree or its equivalent by the time the award is made, and good health. Preference is given •t o applicants under thirty-five years of age. Applications must be submitted to the Institute no later than April 16. Any additional information may be obtained from the Institute of International Education in New York City. -----------end of the conference to the college which best represents its model country. The ·a ward was won by St. Paul's, who represented Russia, last year. Members of the Wilkes delegation are Francine Bishop, Mary Homan, Judy Richardson, Cliff Kobland, Bob Amey, and Bill Duffy. The final plenary session will be held Sunday, March 30 from 8 to 10 a.m. Then all final resolutions and decisions of the assembly will be passed. Next year's officers will also be elected at this session. Besides the three plenary sessions, delegates will be busy attending special conferences and planning material for debate on the assembly floor. A dance will be held Saturday evening from 9 to 12 in the gym. All delegates and Wilkes students and dates are i n v it e d free of charge. The plenary sessions are also open to the public. DEBATE TEAM ENTERS DISTRICT VII TOURNEY - Who needs money? Okay, don't jump down our throats, we haven't any dough to hand out, but the Mennen Company has. Mennen accountants have found a surplus of cash in an old safe and they have decided to spread it around among poor, broke college students on 300 campuses around the country. All they want is an ad, written in an historical vein, that tells the public about their products. Sound easy? It is, friend, it is. Any WC student who has taken History 101 or World Lit can write an ad centered around a myth or historical event. The ad is really a story in which some Mennen product is featured. Humor is the prime objective. Mennen will publish as many entries as they can. The ads should be about 200 words and the prize for first place is $500. Additional prizes of $250 and $100 will also be given. The title of the ad is "There'll Always Be a Playboy" and all entries must be postmarked no later than midnight, May 5, 1958. Entry blanks can be obtained from any store carrying Mennen Products for Men. An added prize will be given on each campus. The most original and humorous entry from Wilkes will get the writer a year's subscription to Playboy Magazine. More details can be obtained at the Beacon office. by Marion J.

That's out. Another bad excuse is illness. If Dr. Doane will back you up, you're set, but unfortunately .... You might say that you overslept-but for a one o'clock class? ? This, too, is definitely out. The most popular excuse (We should say "reason"-excuse has a bad flavor) is a new one, namely, "campus-laziness". This is far better than saying boredom, which is insulting to say the least. Laziness, however, is not an overly flattering excuse to give to any self-respecting teacher; after all, he showed up. So, it all boils down to a, science of dragging yourself out of bed, and giving your favorite prof a chance to lecture into (quote Mr. Elliot) "yawning mouths and glassy eyes."

After the Dance Distributors ARE AT YOUR COMMAND Most students (and we use this term very freely) face the problem with resolutions and colors flyingthey throw the resolutions out and turn a bright red while cutting a class. One unique situation involved in cutting a class is that you always manage to meet the neglected prof on your way to your next class. The only solution to this is to cut your next class too. That way you have a good excuse not to go to any classes all day. The whole thing then turns into a viscious circle and you wish that you had not come to school at all. What to do while cutting is never a problem. Hundreds of hiding co-cutters can be found dodging behind the posts in the upstairs of the Commons, join them.

Pinky is presently a coach and faculty member of the Clarks Summit High SchooL . Other important announcements were the awards to individual athletes and the naming of captains for the teams for the coming seasons. Ron Rescigno, spectacular gridiron ace, walked off with the lion's share of the awards. He received the Howard W. Davis award as the Outstanding Athlete during th e 1957-58 sports year, the Joe GalJagher award for sportsmanship and overall contributions to Wilkes athletics, and was voted the Outstanding Back of the grid squad.

The schedule shows 15 games contracted to date, with possibilities of at least two more contests with Middle Atlantic foes, Lycoming and Dickinson. The first game will be played away, April 12 at Gettysburg. Following three more road games, the Colonels will be home for two games against Moravian on April 19 and East Stroudsburg on April 21.

NEW GOLF COACH HOLDS DRILLS AT 'Y' Mr. Welton Farrar has taken over the coaching chores for the 1958 golf team. Coach Farrar started his charges working on indoor practice swings Tuesday afternoon at the local YMCA. The team has had fourteen candidates to date, but some of last year's squad have yet to make an appearance. Farrar is looking for Art Belles, one of last season's standout performers, and he will have to be without the services of Dave Polley, who has decided to take up tennis this year. Returning from last year's team are ·P ete Perog and Ed Mikalaitis. They have been cheered by the appearance of a few promising new men, freshman veteran Joe Hiznay, and sophomores Pete McLaughlin and Bob Morris. First match for the "Duffers" will be at home on April 12 at the Irem Temple Country Club g:reens. The opposition will be Hofstra's Flying Dutchmen. The Colonels will have home-andhome matches with Scranton and Lycoming later in the season, a single match at Moravian, and at the season's end will participate in the annual Middle Atlantic Conference tournament to be held at Juniata College, Huntingdon, Pa. Any man on campus interested in participating in this sport is urged to see Mr. Farrar in his office any time, or to report at the YMCA at 3:30 p.m. with woods.

As this was my first experience and his wife were broke. Well, Flashing through the unknown in a slim silver bullet - the rocketship X-15 - Scott Crossfield will mbark on a stranger-than-fiction adventure which will carry him six times higher than Man has ever reached before. His speeds will range up to 5,000 miles per hour. Crossfield's flight will start seven miles up, from the comfortable belly of a converted B-36 or B-52 ,bomber. A slight pressure from his thumb will send his rocket belching forth from its nesting!J)lace on a g eyser of flame. Within seconds, he will plunge past the altitude record of 126,000 feet set by Capt. Ivan Kincheloe in 1956, into a void that has ne ver been reached. His tremendous speed at this point will render his instruments unreliable, for they will show what happened two mile~ back.

Once through this barrier _ if he g ets through _ Crossfield will find his fuel gone. But his inertia will hurl him many miles furth er into the ionosphere, that blue-black void tha t stretches from 50 to 250 miles above the earth. After he has reached the top of his macro cosmic arc, Crossfield will still fa ce the problem of getting back to earth without burning up like a met eor when he r e-enters the ea rth's atmosphere.

On with the story. Well, dear r eader s, I had the most exasperating time wanderin g around the back yards of South River Street for hours looking for the theatre - I didn't see nothing that looked like a ticket window or popcorn machine - suddenly, however, by divine inspiration or something, I found my destination. As I entered the theatre and tumbled down the aisle on all threes, s om e most impertinent young man handed me a sheet (of paper). I grasped it eagerly, and to my distress, I found, attached to the bottom of it, a quiz - don't these professors ever g ive up? After assuming an up1·1'g ht pos1·tion, on further r eading, I found that it was only a crit-EEK of the three intense drame1·s. The theatre was packed ... as a hushed reference came over the multitude when the lights dimmed, I was quite touched (by a feather on a hat of a frau in m y imm ediate posterior). Having detached the source of my trouble, I prepared to enjoy the play. As the drapes parted, I saw - my goodness , that is, yes, a young maiden and gentleman in bed (a perfectly innocent scene ) - will som eone PLEASE turn on .the lights in this theatre so I can make a quick egzit? Since no one around me was disturbed by this perfectly owtrocious scene, I proceeded to look at the play, once I had returned all of m y contact lenses to their res pective stations. The play continued, and as the bedding and plot unfolded, it seemed like this her e gentleman who wouldn't be if he stayed in bed ALL the time? Anyway, as the play -p rogressed, I suspected foul play when I saw a masked gunman appear on stage, holding up the bed-1·idden coup I e. The couple made a bargain with him they told him who to rob, and for their info, he agreed to split the spoils with them - WHAT a trick. I thought that this was simply too much, but was glad to see that the play had a mo ral ending. It proved once again to m e that "crime does not pay when mor e than one per son is involved." The second play was a failure a nd succ ess story entitled The Unseen. The villain was the maid (the bourgeois couple didn't even have a butler), whom I'm sure must have just come on the last boat from Inner Herzegovena. The heart of the audience went out to the poor g irl because of the order s and abuses she had thrust upon her by a couple who read blueprints at the breakfast table. Well, my eager readers, the last play was on its way. It was The Cask of Amontillado, known to millions a s "I Was Plastered in a Roman Wine Cellar." Of course this play was of a more sober nature than its predecessors. Why, in it, some poor gentleman was buried alive in a Roman catacomb by a vindictive so-and-soforth. A most appropriate tune to offset the tragedy would have been "Arrivederci Roma!" I tried to g rip the edge of my seat during this final thriller, and to my utter amazement, I found I had been sitting on the floor the entire evening . But that ain't the worst thing that happened - some defens eless young gentlema n in left orchestra, row one, was hit by SELECTIVE SERVICE EXAM ANNOUNCED FOR STUDENTS Lt. Gen. Lewis B.

Letter to the Editor ••• ************************ Madam Editor: On behalf of the Wilkes College Chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our guests from other colleges to the 31st annual Mid-Atlantic Model United Nations General Assembly. I would like to thank all those people at Wilikes and from the other colleges who have labored hard to make this conference a success. Our local group would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students, faculty members, and friends of Wilkes who have volun,teered to provide housing for these delegations. We would also like to thank all those students who have volunteered to serve on the reception committee. TDR has been very helpful in preparing the faculty tea and the refreshments that will be served at Registration today. Our thanks go to them also. St. Stephen's Church has been kind enough to allow us to use their facilities for some of our committee sessions, and our caucuses. The First Presbyterian Church has aided us in this manner also. St. Mary's has provided us with aid that we cannot repay. Thanks to you three also. The Beacon, the Amnicola, and our Public Relations Office deserve our thanks, and our praise. Mrs. Stevens, PRO Director, has given me personal advice, and has contributed a great deal to the Assembly. Dr. Farley, and all of Wilkes College, has given us aid and encouragement. The local papers, radio and TV stations have been more than cooperative. More than anything, however, I should like to thank personally those people on the various committees who have served so well in their various capacities. Larry Groninger, Mary West, Lois Betner, Al Luster, Herman Feissner, Anna Marie "Wendy" Russo, Ann Curley, Lou Ella Meringolo, Mary Anchel, Dick Brayshaw, and the "Men of Warner Hall" deserve my personal thanks beyond the point that words will express, for their valuable suggestions and contributions. I hope that all of the delegates from the colleges and students from Wilkes will get as much from this conference as I have, Sincerely, Dave Vann, • Secretary-General * * * * * To All Seniors : I am sure that all seniors are well aware of the relatively short period of time remaining before graduation. The next two months are extremely important for the remaining activities of the Senior Class. Each senior, I am sure, feels some obligation to the support of the Class of '58, Wilkes College, and the class members themselves. The remaining two months of our college careers are going to be important for all three groups. In the next few Senior Class meetings there are going to be important decisions made concerning the use of funds which the Class of '58 has accumulated throughout its history of the college. Each senior should be concerned with the spending of these funds. Attendance and participation at the class meetings will insure each senior of an opportunity to voice his opinion concerning decisions of spending these funds. At the next meeting, April 10, 1958, there will be important decisions made concerning a class outing, a class gift, and graduation activities. If you want to be a part of the Class of '58, attend this and the following class meetings and be an active Senior. It will definitely be to your advantage. Don't forget you have an equal voice in all class decsions. Ron Tremayne, ~rsidef~58 P.S.-The April l~s~:eting will be held in Stark Hall, Room 119 at 11 :00 a.m. Bill Zdancewicz Busy Weekend "Mr. Chairman, may I have the floor?" - a phrase to be quoted many times this weekend by representatives at the Model General Assembly at our college. Truly worthy of written acclaim, we wish to welcome the visiting students from the Middle Atlantic region of the United States. May their visit prove enjoyable and interesting, both at the Model Assembly and in our community. What a Day!! Spring! Ah, sping! ... the time when a young man's fancy turns to love(?) . . . the time when robins sing . . . the time when flowers start their journey of beauty , , , etc., etc. · Who are we kidding? This year Spring wore a fur coat! Instead of the customary "spring fever" feeling, she gave us the "cold shoulder". As you apparently have realized, we are talking about the . snowstorm on the first day of spring - which actually began the night before. Can you picture a robin shoveling snow to get to the first worm? Or better yet - imagine his first song upon returning from the South - Baby, It's Cold Up Here! Let's get back to "spring fever". Without it we lose an acceptable excuse for cutting classes. Ha! . . . Fancy turns to love(?) Man, even with the snow, we were too busy turning toward exams!! _ Here's one for you though. Picture three young, dazzling coeds from T.D.R., dressed in the latest spring fashions, standing knee-deep in snow on the first day of spring. (Well, almost knee-deep!) A picture of Spring in all it's glory, the girls posed dramatically with their parasols . . . Rain? ·. Anyhow, the above bit of news is true. Three T.D.R. girls did stand in the snow in their spring fashions . . . for the photographer. The photo made the first page in a local newspaper and it was also accepted for distribution by the United Press. Best of all, their courageous deed proved quite appropriate in light of the fact that the T.D.R. Spring Fashion Show was held only six days later. An Important Role, For All To many, the staggering problems confronting the school systems of America seem out of our range. Yet, each of us has the opportunity to contribute to the good of everyone by doing something constructive to solve them. · In reviewing the present problems, we are reminded that one in every four Americans (some 43 million) are in public and private schools and in the next decade attendance is due to increase to 60 million. Also, there is a shortage of 135,000 teachers. Even more serious is the never-ending problem of seeing that every classroom provides the fulness of education for which it is established. Just how can we assist in reducing or eliminating the above problems? Six possible suggestions exist to help us: First, be more than a fault finder. Belittling the important service now being rendered by schools hurts far more than it helps. Focus attention on what's "right" with schools, giving credit where credit is due. Secondly, develop a respect for true learning among people. If they become satisfied with mere information rather than with intelligent thinking and sound judgment, they will be deprived of the complete maturity and well-rounded development to which they have a right. Third, realize and promote the primary function of schools,-c that of bringing out the latent power or talent implanted in every human being; to develop habits of study, hard work, self- discipline and self-reliance; training persons to think for themselves; fostering creative thinking; and preparing students to apply their education in a manner which will benefit themselves and their fellowman. Fourth, give teachers the support they deserve. Many of our graduates, and underclassmen, are planning on teaching careers. They too will seek the support, which in tum will help them to increase their effectiveness. Fifth, encourage persons with high ideals, enthusiasm and talent to dedicate themselves to a career of teaching. And last, along the line of number 5, don't sit home with your good ideas. Get them into circulation. Make your point of view known on all issues that involve the integrity and efficiency of the school. Rest Period??? At the bewitching hour of 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1 ... VACATION BEGINS. Vacation - according to Webster, is a scheduled period during which activity or work is suspended. Ahem! " This vacation being the Easter Season, students will celebrate the occasion by attending church of their choice and participating in various activities customary to their group or person. cOf course, amidst the activity, students will try once again to fulfill their individual promise to complete that tenn paper, or else! Not to look on the dim side of things, but, how many will be able to say (come a week next Wednesday) - "Finished at last."??? (Before you leave on Tuesday, be sure to attend the Ece>--=nomics Club raffle drawing to be held at 12:15 p.m. in back of Chase Hal!, In the event of rain, the drawing will be held in the cafetena lounge.)

The batterymen will all return for another year, led by southpaw hurler Eddie Birnbaum, whose slow "cute" offerings upset many ~ would-be slugger in 1957. Eddie does not have much of a fast ball but his " junk stuff" brought him ~ 5-2 record last year. His seven decisions made him the hands-down winner of the "Iron Man" title. John Harvey will return to 1·eceive the hurlers' offerings. Two sophomores, "Porky" Roats and George Gacha, make up the core of the returning mound staff. Hoats started slowly last year, but came to life in the warmer weather and turned in one sparkling threehitter with his left-handed offerings. Gacha, 5-9 stocky sophomore veteran, made his first appeaTance last year against Susquehanna U. and hurled a masterful five-hit shutout against the Crusaders. Gacha is also a valuable man at the plate and is regarded as one of the better-hitting pitchers in small college baseball. Some promising freshmen are working hard to unseat returning lettermen from varsity starting spots. Ray Kraynanski will try to take over behind the plate, where last season the strong-armed Harvey played brilliantly, nipping nine stealing attempts with his rifle arm. Mike Goobic at third has two competitors, one of them his own brother, Don. Walt Folek also hopes to see some action at third. · Don Berger and Bill Morris are both ·promising hurlers and pro'ba- -= bly will join Ray Yanchus as reI liefer s. Sophomore Lee Eckert, in his first attempt at college ball, seem s to be a good bet to earn a stai·ting pitching assignment. All possibilities hinge on one thing, however. If decent playing weather does not put in an appearance soon, lack of field practice may well cause the team to fall behind the training schedule. It was not definite at press time whether Gettysburg has been able to get its fi eld in playing condition. If the game is not played, the Colonels will have until April 12 to whip into shape. At that time they will start a busy week, playing five games within seven days beginning at Lycoming. They return for the first home game against Moravian on April 19.

UNFULFILLED OBLIGATIONS Again last Sunday night, the intramural bowling league suffered from lack of attendance after one week of good behavior. The causes of non-attendance fancied or real, are of no concern to the people who show up to bowl ~nd have their pleasure spoiled by the inconsiderat~on of others. If a person wishes to bowl on a team, he should also realize that he has committed himself. If he feels that he cannot be available every Sunday night, he shouldn't agree to participate in the first place. The rest of the faithful participants are annoyed, and in some cases damaged, by the failure of these f ew. Last week, a team whose members have been fairly regular all year found itself without players enough to bowl and lost by forf eit. The loss was costly as the team dropped to third place, possibly out of contention for second-place trophies. More important, however, is the fact that by failing to have at least five members of each of the six teams on hand every Sunday, we do not live up to our agreement with the JCC. This means that it is not just the bowlers who suffer, but the College's reputation as well. There are only two nights of bowling left in the Myers season, March 30 and April 13. It's not asking too much to expect that each team will have all of its members in attendance and ready to bowl at the appointed time, 7 :30 p.m. The Center has been very kind to give us p_ermiss~on to use t~e lanes· let's finish the season with 100% attendance m gratitude for then· kindn'ess. This could have a great deal of significance next year. We may find ourselves not welcome if we show ourselves unwilling to live up to reasonable obligations. SUGGESTIONS, ANYONE? For the second year, Wilkes has a tennis team to carry the Blue and Gold into intercollegiate competition, but they suffer from two major headaches - lack of coaching and lack of practice space. Ira Himmel is serving as manager-coach-player at present and would be pleased to have someone other than a member of the student body acting as coach. The second problem is more of an influential nature. Anyone who has knowledge of, and ability to get someone in authority who could put the Kirby Park courts back into playing condition is requested to see that person and help the team out. The tennis team, working hard under the handicap of poor weather Only one match was bowled in last Swiday night's intraand limited practice area, is pre- mural action, two matches were forfeited. In the sole contest, paring for its opening match with Paul Katz sparked the Teetotalers to a startling upset win over the Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra College. The match will be at the second-place Kampus Keglers. Katz had a resounding 224 home on Thursday, April 10th.

In this age of Sputniks, Explorers, and Vanguards, when scientific achievements are so well publicized and esteemed, little need be said about the importance of such a gathering among the future leaders of our nation. Much hard work has gone into planning this conference. to insure its success. Tihe work, however, will not go by unappreciated or unrecognized as our college plays host to one of the most significant affairs ever to be held here on campus.

FIRST CONFERENCE FOUNDED AT VASSAR The Twelfth Annual E a s t e r n Colleges Science Conference calendar, planned and arranged by a. · student committee headed by senior pre-medical student Barry Miller, will feature talks by several promi- · nent scientists, presentation of student research papers, tours of local industries, and social activities including a banquet, tea, and dance. From its beginning in 1947 at Vassar College, when 23 colleges attended, the annual conference has expanded through the years, with conventions being held at Seton Hall, Temple, and Georgetown Universities in recent years boasting enrollments of over 70 colleges. The twelfth annual conference, which commenced this morning, is being attended by approximately 550 s t u d en t s representing 77 eastern colleges and universities. The conference was founded at Vassar College to increase interest on the p a rt of undergraduate science students in the various aspects of research. A great deal of interest in the first conference prompted a Vassar committee to frame a constitution for the conference. The constitution was ratified at the second annual meeti11g at Union College ;n 1948. - LEWIS-DUNCAN Your SPALDING-RAWLINGS and WIU;ON Distributors Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES Lettering LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS WHAT IS A FLAT-BOTTOMED CANOE?

A committee, headed by Les Weiner, attempted to refine the present constitution and include one major addition - a court of Appeals which "shall adjudicate decisions of the Student Government (note the change in name) upon formal application of appeal." Machinery for the working of the court was set up. The group was ,planned to include two faculty members, one member of the Administrative ,Council, and two m e mbers of the student body who are not Student Government Representatives. A major change in their proposed constitution was the requirement that class and Student Government elections be held in spring. At present, class elections are held in the fall, while the Council elections come in the spring. Another refinement was the explicit enumera, tion of the powers and procedures of the Student Government. The incumbent Student Council took up the proposed revision in toto and decided that further refinement could be made. A committee, headed by John Scandale, and consisting of the following Ed Kotula, Bob Morris, Barbara Federer, Bill Davis, and Dick Salus, :1t::::f,;° :t.:~~.:h~~:ob~::,: CONFERENCE SCHEDULE (continued from page 3) 5:30 P.M.-Return from tours to Sterling Hotel 6 :30-Banquet, Sterling Hotel; Dr. George R.

Redefinition of the purposes of the Student Government; 2. Better presentation of election procedures; 3. Refinement of the Court of Appeals; 4. Refinement of the amending ·procedure; .5. Refinement of the rules and regulations governing the procedures, powers and functions of the Student Government; .,6. Official adoption of Roberts' Rules of Order as the parliamentary authority; 7. Deletion of Appendix II from the present constitution. Appendix II covers policies governing the activities program, and was riot originally intended as a part of the constitution. The past s t u d e n t handbooks have included the student constitution as '' Appendix I" and the activities as "Appendix II." An oversight incorporated the handbook Appendix II as Appendix II of the student constitution. Since Appendix II contains policies which could not logically come within the jurisdiction of the Stu dent Government, it was necessary to make the proper deletions. The items in Appendix II which are considered within the power of the Student Government have been included in the new revision of the constitution, and the other policies were left to the administration. In a committee m eeting with the Administrative ouncil, Dr. ·F arley commented that the latest r evised constitution "is by far the simplest and most compl et e constitution" he has ever seen at ·wi lkes. Student Council has decided that the best method of ratification of the new constitution will be to pass out copies of it at fall semester registration, with voting on it by the student body when the class elections are held.

They were accompanied by their coach, Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, Associate Professor of English and Director of Forensics at Wilkes. The Wilkes team qualified for the nationals by surviving the District 7 Elimination Tourney. Other District 7 representatives include Princeton, George Washington, Navy, and Penn. A total of 36 teams from all over the United States are vying for n at i on a 1 honors at West Point. Opening contests began yesterday morning. In keeping with the importance of the event, the National Tournament is the longest and most gruelling debate tournament in the country, calling for real endurance as well as skill. During Thursday and Friday each team debates eight times on the national collegiate debate topic of compulsory unionism, four affirmative and four negative, with st r en gt h being paired against strength after the second round. Tonight at the Tournament Banquet, held annuall y at Collum Hall, the top sixteen teams will be announced. Tomorrow eliminations w!ll continue for four more rounds, with one team finally emerging as the national champion. Automaticall y invited back to defend the crown it won last year will be Augustana College of Illinois. Wilkes entered t h e nationals with an impressive record of 37 wins and 6 losses, compiled in such tournaments as Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and Boston. At Boston Wilkes defeated three District representatives, Dartmouth, MIT, and Eastern Nazarene, as well as S Princeton, winner of this year's District 7 tourney. This year marks the fourth in the last five that Wilkes has won the distinction of competing at the Point. In 1955 the Wilkes t eam of James Neveras and J. Harold Flannery, Jr., placed second in the nation, dropping a 5-4 decision to Alabama in the twelfth and final round. Last year John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper of Wilkes placed ninth in the standings and second in team points. Neveras, Flannery, and Choper won watches for their outstanding performances, Choper placing third in the individual rankings last year. In preparation for their forthcoming test, Wilkes worked out on Sunday with the "Gniversity of Pennsylvania, the only other P ennsylvania team to qualify. The Penn team em ploys the same techniques and style of debating developed by Dr. Kruger. Both t eams have enjoyed great success this year, with P enn succeeding Wilkes as the winner of the Harvard Tournament.

When it is in the interest of :the student and the college, courses may be taken at other institutions. But in this contingency the student must obtain the consent of the graduation committee. Without this consent no credit will be allowed for work taken at other institutions, while the student is enrolled at Wilkes College.

It was a shame to notice the discourtesy of about thirty Wilkes students at the assembly last Tuesday. The aforementioned minority evidently did not share the enthusiasm for the singing of the Collegians that was shown by the rest of the students. Maybe they were just starving to death and wanted to get to lunch, but the rudeness they displayed by leaving before the end of the program is inexcusable. Perhaps the next time an assembly is held at the First Presbyterian Church the doors should be locked to prevent such an incongruous display of apathy before the public, and the performers. Perhaps the assembly period could be changed to one o'clock so that hunger does not dominate our manners. The Collegians are one of the finest singing groups in this area, and to insult their singing merely shows the students' lack of plain culture. A course in music or assembly manners might teach us when a program is over, what an encore is, and we might even learn the appropriate point at which to applaud; witness the time when the entire assembly burst into applause right in the middle of a solo being sung by one of the Warren Boy's Choir members. -MJK Stein-Lebowitz Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Lebowitz of 79 Beach Street, Wilkes-Barre, announce the engagement of their daughter, Evie Ann, to Jerome Stein, son of Mrs. Ida Stein Barish of Manhattan.

The score was an improvement, however, over the 17½-½ drubbing suffered last year at the hands of the same Scranton team. The encouraging weather of the past few days has made an even greater difference in the team. with grounds in more decent playing condition, the long drives are beginning to appear and the team seems ready for its exhibition match next week against the Wyoming Seminary team. After that meet, the fairway Colonels will have a rest of nearly two weeks. They hope to use that time in readying a good lineup for the hot-and-cold Lycoming Warriors who will invade the Irem course on May lO. Lycoming, in its last meet, lost to St. Francis, 12-6. Within six days of the Lycoming match, the Colonels will travel to Scranton, then host Moravian and Lycoming before the end of their s~hedule. At the end of the season Farrar hopes to send four men' to the Middle Atlantic Conferen~e Tournament, to be held at the American Legion Country Club in Mount l.Tnion.

Bill Zdancewicz The 'Beat' Generation "Do you belong to the 'beat' generation?" According to national magazines from Time to Esquire, which have recently carried articles on this subject, the Beat Generation man is not looking for adventure beyond the horizon. Rather, he wants security in the form of pension plans and group hospitalization. He does not go in for any of the '20's behavior, such as gold fish swallowing, flag pole sitting, or noble causes. In the '20's, Mama was a flapper and Papa was a shiek . .. but what is junior today? According to many of his elders he is just plain Beat! Recently the sons a nd daughters of the Lost Generation, who are now b etween the ages of 18 and 28, have been accused of lacking the get-up-and-go which characterized their parents in their heyday. A survey on this subject was held at the University of Oklahoma which showed that the majority of students felt the term 'Beat' to be appropriate. Several students protested the idea. One male senior stated that the young people do not want to do anything on their own, but they also refuse to conform to society. The best remark to the 'Beat' generation idea was given by a coed a t the University: "We have to spend the first half of our life slaving to get an education, a·n d the second half slaving to earn a living. We don't have time to be anything but 'beat'." Not A Chance! ... Her dress is rayon, her stockings nylon, her coat is orlon, her gloves are dynel, her slip is dacron . . . nobody is going to pull the wool over her eyes! The Big Switch ... _! Coeds living in Bailey Hall at S.T.C., Geneseo, N.Y., were recently informed they'd have to find other places to live next year. It seems their dorm will be given over to men students!! The girls of Bailey Hall naturally wondered why their dorm was selected instead of one of the other women's dormitories. The answer they received was that the halls were situated that if the men were put in another dorm, women residents would have been able to peer into the rooms of the male students! . . .

The sun was shining all day . . . it rained most of the day and night. The entire senior class attended . . . well, nearly half of them. Many seniors enjoyed playing volleyball ... until the ball went into the creek. Wonderful ground for pitching horseshoes... if they didn't sink too far into the mud. The baseball game was terrific, numerous home-runs . . . on errors. The food tasted very good... while eating in a smokefilled pavilion. Bowling was enjoyed by many... the alleys seemed crooked though! Rollerskating was the big highlight both in the afternoon and night . . . except for those who were literally on the floor most of the time - right Scally? Dancing was tremendous... while "die-hard" Wilkinson continued to skate! As the evening neared its end, the seniors left with ease in their automobiles . . . after getting it out of the mud! By the way, our distinguished four-legged friend "SAM" also attended the picnic. Actually . . . in all seriousness, the Senior Class Picnic held Sunday at Rummage's Grove was quite successful and everyone who went seemed to have a wonderful time. received the math and chemistry awards for scholastic achievement in her freshman year, a nd was also a mod el in the TDR Fashion Show.

The score was an improvement, however, over the 17½-½ drubbing suffered last year at the hands of the same Scranton team. The encouraging weather of the past few days has made an even greater difference in the team. with grounds in more decent playing condition, the long drives are beginning to appear and the team seems ready for its exhibition match next week against the Wyoming Seminary team. After that meet, the fairway Colonels will have a rest of nearly two weeks. They hope to use that time in readying a good lineup for the hot-and-cold Lycoming Warriors who will invade the Irem course on May lO. Lycoming, in its last meet, lost to St. Francis, 12-6. Within six days of the Lycoming match, the Colonels will travel to Scranton, then host Moravian and Lycoming before the end of their s~hedule. At the end of the season Farrar hopes to send four men' to the Middle Atlantic Conferen~e Tournament, to be held at the American Legion Country Club in Mount l.Tnion.

The BEACON sports staff, aided by the balloting of the coaches, athletic department, and Public Relations Office, takes a great deal of pleasure and pride in congratulating Ron on winning the 'Athlete of the Year" award. He will have his name pennanently inscribed on the trophy on display in the gym today, and will receive a gold replica of the cup for his personal possession at Tuesday's assembly program at the First Presbyterian Church. Ron , a senior education major, has been an athletic standout her e fo r the past four years, and has· been a starting player on the football squad in every game. This y ear, he climaxed h is colleg iate career with some of the classiest foo t ball ever witnessed in National small college circles . Among the many honors he has received, it would be difficult to say which should be most highly prized.

In addition to these State, regional, a nd National awards, he has been named to the All-Opponents' squad ,by just about every t eam he has faced. The National Collegiate Athletic Bureau, statistical organ of the NCAA, list ed the Colonel sparkplug among the top third of the nation's small college ball carriers, with 810 yards gained in 180 carries, an average of nearly five yar ds per carry over the whole season. Balloting Close The voting race was close at the final tally, but the stocky, 5-7 little gridiron giant gathered an overwhelming number of first place ballots, each valued at five votes, seven out of eleven cast, to win by 47 to 35 over his nearest rival, wrestling co-captain Jim Ward, who finished undefeated in his last two-and-one-half ye a rs of col- - WILKES (continued on page 2) COLLEGE The BEACON Serving Wilkes College For Twenty-two Years Beacon WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Vol. XXII, No. 27 FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1958 CINDERELLA BALL THIS EVENING l Mellon Band Featured; Local Coverage Planned For Crowning Ceremonies by Jim Eidam As the wise old owl on campus is saying,...

So that supervision may be provided for the parking lots, day students will be asked to pay $3 per term. This fee will not guarantee the student a ,p arking space but will give him the p r i v i l e g e of parking on any of the lots when space is available. Dormitory students, with the permission of the deans, may bring their cars to the College and will have space reserved for them. A fee of $10 per semester will be charged for the privilege of parking in the reserved area. Anyone who reads the Beacon consistently will undoubtedly notice that our staff is decidedly limited. We have pleaded, cajoled and screamed for help, all to little or no avail. We have, in the past, told the students what they could do for us. Now we are going to expound via the editorial rout, and point out what we can do for you. This information is directed primarily to the education majors. It has been brought to our attention that prospective English teachers not only have a better chance of landing a nice job, but they also can get a higher pay because they have been on their college paper. High school teachers in most ·areas are given a substantial raise in pay if they are in a position to advise the school paper. Being on a college paper especially in an editorial position holds considerable weight with the people who are going to hire you when you graduate. We certainly are not going to go out on a limb and say that anyone who joins the Beacon staff next year will automatically become an editor in the following year, but we would like to point out that there is only one sophomore on the staff this year.

ENGAGEMENTS . WILKES STUDENT DISCUSSES DEMANDS OF LABOR UNIONS by Philip Lear Trade Unions are expanding their demands on our economy with a reckless disregard for the economy's ability to meet them. The big unions in the basic industries make their yearly demands for wage increases and other benefits; the employers, in order to avoid strikes at crucial times of the year, accept at least some of the union's demands. These demands, met by the key companies, set into motion a chain reaction for the entire economy. Labor costs having risen, prices now rise. If continued, this wageround system of collective bargaining will lead .to the ultimate destruction of American free enterprise, and the institution of a collective form of economy. This will happen in one of three ways. Because of the constantly rising prices, people will come to the realization that by saving, they are a ctually I o s i n g precious buying power. Consequently, private saving will decrease. Without sufficient-private saving, our econom y will be unable to continue to expand. In such a situation, the only solution would ,be incr ea sed government investment. Furthermore, when a rise in labor cost threatens to bring a widespread un emp loyment, increasing governm ent expenditures would seem , even to the most prudent conservatives to be the only logi cal solution. By the time people wake up to what the labor unions are doing, it will be too late. By this tim e, a large enou~h part of the economy will be financed by -the government instead of by private saving so that ~e will ,be across the vague dividing !me that separates a collective economy from that of free enterprise. A collective economy js also likely to stem from the public's own annoyance at the instability of inflation as caused by the wage-l'Ound pattern of labor relations. The public will demand compulsory government arbitration; and if wages are to be fixed, prices must also fixed. This is necessary because if wages are raised, prices must also be raised to cover increased labor costs. With wages and prices fi xed we have a controlled economy, but only a government with strong police powers would be able to keep the mammoth unions in line. Finall y, let it be noted, that the labor unions have fail ed misera,bly to provide the workers with any gains in their "real" wages. Although hourly earnings in manufacturing industries increased 41 % from Dec. 1945 to Dec. 1949, the actual gains in real wages was less than 9% ; and even this is a rather deceptive figure, for these gains did not come from profit. They were the result of the slowness of the rents to rise as caused by legal controls and the sluggish reactions of post-war savers. When unions realize that they no longer make gains at th e hands of the landlord and the saver, they will demand to see the employer's books to find out what happened to all the profits. The next step is for the unions to a sk a few questions: Why not help the employer manage his business so that it will yield a surplus? Or better yet, since the private owners are no longer able to produce enough to give the workers a higher living standard, why not turn the business over to the governm ent? Ther e neve r was a more serious domestic problem than the increase in the power of the la,bor unions. A ,peaceful and respected union which gains re s u I t s that other unions gain by striking, may in the end have just as disturbing effect on our economy. The true problem is the long range effect of our pricing system of the wage-round pattern of labor relations. We are being pushed towards a point where prices will no longer be free to guide themselves. When prices can no longer guide our economic activity compulsion must be subsituted.

Bl eifer sur prised the Mules with a brilliant com eback after dropping the first set to his opponent. H e placed his shots well, playing a crisp game after losing, 3 6, and registered wins in two straig ht sets, 6-3 a nd 6-2, to turn in the only Wilkes point of the match.

The soviet leaders as well as the Americans realize that an all-out war would be the eventual destruction of their countries, thus the existing stalemate was form ed. The internal terrorism with the soviet controlled countries seems to be down because of the existing set-up of government which consists of a large number of small dictators, none of whom approach the power of Stalin, being pressured by revolts in the satellite countries. Mr. Metcalf answered the ques·t ions of fears of a wa1· because of one, according to the speaker, realizes that the next war could not possi,bly be a minor one because of the number of countries envolved in any move.

These include trans-Atlantic submarine journeys for 1000 ·passengers in two hours, trans-Atlantic trains for hauling p u 11 e d by atomic-powered submarines and plans for a 1-00,000 pound submarine, which are now underway.

Dr. Eugene S. Farley, in an exclusive interview with the Beacon last Wednesday, stated that we "are beginning to realize the potential that is here. When the campaign was conducted, we never dreamed that this building was available but when we realized that it was, the Board took mmediate advantage of the situation. "By using the home next to the Glen Alden building, and by tr;msferring classes from homes in the block between South Street and Northampton, we will have space for an additional 125 dormit~ students." Dr. Farley stated that within -l:he next two or three years, Barre, Hollenba0k, Gies and Pickering Halls will probably be converted into dormitories and the classes now in these buildings will be held in -t he Glen Alden Building. The Comme'rce and Finance de_ partment and several other busi• ness departments will be house< on the second and third floors oi the new building. The fourth anc fifth floors will probably be us!.lll by the Music and Art department:, Faculty offices will occupy the first floor. There is a possibility that th1 Comptroller's office may also b .. moved to the new quarters nex· year. Since the Art and Music departments will .be transferred to thE new building, Dr. Farley state , that the iplans for a new Fine Arti Building will be dropped. However, he remarked that sometime ir, the near future an auditorium larg€ enough to seat the entire student body will be constructed on the college-owned property originall;y planned for the Arts Building. . The house acquired by the college is located right next door to the Glen Alden building at 24 South River Street. Mrs. Gertn.'-de Allen Doane announced that this home will be used as a girls' dormitory next year. The addition of the new dormitory brings the total number of dormitories on campu1? to ten, six of these will be girL dorms next year. Weiss Hall, the upstairs of which is now a m en's dorm, will be converted into a girls' dorm~<;ory this summer. The parking lot which was purchased along with the Alden building will accomodate from fifty to sixty cars. The location of the lot is immediately behind the building and home and also along side the home. Harry W . .Brandbury, executive vice~president of the Glen Aide( Corporation, stated that the corp<.';, ration is making arrangements to move its home office to its nearby Huber Colliery in nearby Ashley. He explained that the corporation is cooperating with the administr tion in an effort to transfer possession of the River Street ,b uildings to the college as soon a s possible~ probably by early fall.

That Krushchev's rise was no sm,prise and that he was making policy revisions previous to his open ascendency, was frankly no surprise; that he does not wield Stalin-like complete control, and that the Soviet has toned down its terrorism policy are not unknown to the reading public. Instead of this, I would rather have heard an extensive appraisal of Washington thinking on Summit talk ;possibilities, disengagement, nuclear testing, current areas of international unrest, or even the domestic recession. But perhaps, currency and specifics are too much to ask of speakers on the lecture circuit. ·T his of course is not intended to detract from Mr. Metcalf's speaking skills - he covered clearly and concisely several important issues, and he spoke with sufficient auithority and emphasis to hold what is always a very restive audience. type conflict would be n u c 1 e a r weapons. But would we use them if it meant in the exchange the eventual nuclear retaliation upon U. S. cities? We would certainly be hesitant even though we have indicated that in any future conflict we would use these weapons. If our non-nuclear war potential remains very limited as it is now, it is not beyond belief that Soviet leaders, pushed by internal pressures or external developments, would balance the risks of U. S. retaliation and decide upon such a venture. It is, therefore, not too difficult to picture a loca-1 war and, perhaps, even a global conflict depending on what actions the U. S. t a,kes. And so we see the initiative for making earth-shaking decisions lying in Washington as well as Moscow. This dilemma becomes even more acute when we realize that if our economic aid and political strategy moves are successful, as they must be, in encountering the brilliant and efficacious moves of the Krem!in the pressure upon the Soviet for renewed military ventures is actually increased; so we see that the situation of the United States is not as rosy as it was pictured. But aside from th ese general criticisms, I must confess to have been unconvinced by Mr. Metcalf's optimistic appraisal of the improbabilities of war. It is reasonably assumed that neither the Soviet nor the United States will ,s uddenly launch an all-out attack upon the other because of the recog_ nition on both sides of the complete Mr. Metcalf's reassurance and devastation that would result. his optimism in regard to technical achievements are, perhaps, warBut suppose, as Mr. Metcalf ranted; but such cheerleading crepostulated, that the Communists ates dangerous illusions and sapupon sufficient provocation sent ping laxity.

LETTER To the Male Students of Wilkes College: This is an open invitation to the male student body of Wilkes College to try out for the varsity football team on September 1. )Vinning football teams are made of men with ordinary a,bilities but extra-ordinary desires. I promise that it won't be easy to have a winning team, and there will be a lot of hard work. I believe, however, that there are men in the student body who are willing to give of their time for that feeling of satisfaction that comes from ,p ride of having made the sacrifices necessary to do a good job for the best results. It is important to remember that when you wear the blue and the gold, you are representing Wilkes in intercollegiate competition. You are a concrete symbol of your faculty and student body. You must believe in the education and tradition you are receiving and helping to build. Those qualities will be reflected in your attitude. If you sincerely believe in them, you will give your best. Some of you may laugh and ask, "What's in it for me if I go out for the football team?" If you are one of these, I say, "There are rewards that money cannot puchase." There are many opportunities given to you which were not included in the c.ost of your tuition. If you believe that the cost of your tuition is covering all you are receiving, then you are fooling yourself. I should like to discuss this very problem with you when I am on campus in the Fall. Some of you believe that you do not have the ability to ,p lay football. You will always be doubtful until you try. Desire is 90 per cent of any game. All we ask is that you try, and let the coaches be the judges. If you are interested in this invitation, please leave your name and address, at which you can be reached during the summer, with Dean Ralston. I will contact you by mail or in person to make preparations for a winning football season. In closing, I wish you would think of this: Those that cannot do but attempt they can, are admired. Those that can do but attempt to do, are respected. Those that can do but will not do, shall always leave doubt. Very sincerely yours, FRANCIS PINKOWSKI ,F ootball Coach GRAHAM'S The Ivy Leaguers I • Bob Morris wrestling squad and the junior class council.

Ralph Hendershot, slugging centerfielder for the Blue and Gold aggregation, had a busy day at the plate with four hits in five trips to the plate. He scored three times and drove in four runs. His one out came on a tremendous fly ball to center which sent Upsala fielder Bumetti ,b ack to the fence before hauling in the ball for a long out. The visitors jumped to a 3--0 lead in the first increased that to 7-3 in the fifth 'and led, 8-7, going into the eighth inning. Then the Colonels struck like a bolt out of the blue, registering 11 big runs on five hits while capitalizing on walks and errors to put the game on ice. Upsala: failed to score in its half of the last inning. In that ,b ig eighth inning, Walt Folek walked twice Mike Goobic, Mike Dydo, Joe Par~nik, and Ralph Hendershot each got a free pass once.

Steady Eddie Birnbaum suffered the defeat in the opener, as the Colonels failed to show any of the-it' latent power after arriving late and having insufficient batting •practice for a pre-game warmup. In the second tilt, however, the locals had their own way, hitting heavily and making up for lost time to stay in the thick of the Conference championship race.

'Colonel Nine Plays Susquehanna ------------------------------,---------------·•> 'Home -and -Home' Set Concludes Hot ch·ase For MASCAC Crown TENNIS SQUAD TESTS RUGGED BEARS TODAY ... by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor No editor closes his pages for good without giving credit where credit is due. This task is not always as easy as it may sound. Over the stretch of two years at this typewriter, the ol' Sports Spurter has ,p ounded out a goodly number of lines of type,. some g~od, J?OS~ bad, little read. Regardless of its relative merit, the mformat10n distnbu~ed came necessarily from a diversity of sources, reliable and otherwise. In addition it has been the unselfish efforts and considerable leg-work of a numbe~ of people which have contributed to the weekly compilation of our spoits news. . To this year's staff of sports writers, I extend my most sincere thanks and congratulations. Thanks for a job well done, congratulations because each is a graduating senior. Regrets could be added since they are not going to be around to give us their time and efforts next year. Without Bob Sutherland, Jim Hennighan, and Al Ullman, I would have had an impossible task. Sincerest thanks too, to the "legmen," without whom no newspaper would last five minutes. Paul Katz, Stan Yurkowski, Morgan Davis, Al Manarski, Pete Perog, Mike Goobic, Bob Morris, Ira Himmal, Cliff kobland, Bill Woll, and Bill Zdancewicz have all worked hard to provide me with a wealth of information running from wrestling, through tennis and golf, to intramural sports. A special vote of thanks to Mim Thomson· is also in order. Mim _ was league secretary of the Intramural bowling season and assisted no little in the statistical nightmare that goes with the planning and direction of such an activity. An equally special vote of thanks to brother TIM for his many intangible boosts as well as some fine journalistic efforts during the football season and the wrestling tournament. There are, I fear, some names I may have omitted. I hope not, but it seems impossible that I could have received such huge amounts of help from such a limited number of people. LONG DISTANCE HELP, TOO During the year we received items of interest from Jack Curtis who now t eaches English at Green Park Union High School in Elliots~ burg and fi:om J err_y ~oth in Carlisle, who sent along notes concerning the op.posit10n at Dio~mson. From Curtis, we got news of the progress of former Colonels Jim Atherton, head cage coach at Perry Joint High _ School, New Bloomfield, !'a., '.1nd Jim's associates there, Frank Kopicki and John Warner, alunm1 datmg from the days of Bucknell Jr. College.

The game was the second consecutive ~layo~ contest for the Hombres, who ended the regular season -bed with Club 20. The tie forced a playoff for the National League title on Tuesday, which turned out to be one of the best slug-fests seen in the loop all season. Club 20 was edged out by a 10-9 score, in spite of a round- trip blast by George Morgan. Morgan was both hero and "goat," when °he hit an easy pop fly for the final out of the game, which could have gone either way. The Phonies, captained by George Y eninas, held a perfect record throughout the season, having won the league crown on a 4-0 record. Team members are: Joe Durishan, Ja<ke Tinshaw, Norm Hysic, Larry Williams, Armand Caruso, Reggie Tryseko.wski, Art Olaok, Art Olack, _Andy Rushin, Chuck Billing, Bob Ambrose, Andrew C. Gutkowski, Robert Turley, Roger Klein, Joe Molski, and Dan Jacobs. The Hombres were co-captained by Paul Klein and Glenn Johnson. ~ They suffered only one loss in the ~ regular season, held a 4-1 record to tie with Club 20.

Two seniors finish their c o 11 e g i at e careers a g a i n s t the Bears this afternoon; they are Bill Savitsky and George Ginader. The Colonel squad, with a 2-5 record, hopes to end the season on a winning note by dropping a powerful Ursinus squad from the win column. The Ursinus club has a very good record for the season and is rated one of the better clubs in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Over last weekend the· Colonels dropped two matches, both home and away. On Saturday the squad traveled to Carlisle and were defeated 9-0 by a superior Dickinson squad in a Conference match. This was the worst defeat of the year when set scores are compared with other matches. Only the sixth single match between the Colonels' Jim Hennighan and Dickinson's Chuck Rowe produced a close score. Rowe won a tight 6-3, 6-4 match. The Wilkes numbers one oand two men, Ira Himmel and Bill Savitsky, suffered disastrous defeats at the hands of Dickinson's Kit Spahr and Art Duel; Spahr has been undefeated in 31 dual meets over three years. On Monday afternoon the visiting Rider squad defeated the Colonels in a non-conference match on the Wvoming Seminary courts, 5-0. The Colonel netmen made a better showing but were unable to win any matches. Bill Savitsky extended his Rider opponent to the limit, but was unable to oulast the Rider number two man, Bill Alexander, and lost, 6-0, 5-7, 6-8. The season as a whole was not a ,p roductive one, but the young net squad, only in its second year of competition, has shown great potentialities and can ,be expected to reach better heights in next year's competition.

Today's host school was beaten at Irem Temple Country Club, 13-5, earlier in the month, and Coach Farrar's men hope to repeat the feat in this afternoon's season finale. On Tuesday night, the Colonels were guests of the Scranton Royals at Fox Hill Country Club and lost to the Lackawanna collegians by a 13½-4½ score. Under extreme wind conditions against a highly experienced club, the squad showed improv~ment over their earlier loss to the Royals, but were unable to put the improvement on the score cards. In order of shooting: Bob Janusz-ko, Art Belles, Ed Mikolaitis, Pete Perog, Joe Hiznay and Pete McLaughlin represented the shifted lineup. Perog scored one point when he took the front nine. He ·parred five of the first nine, but then blew up. Mikolaitis took two points, on the front nine and total score. Perog and Mikolaitis were teamed and neither was able to hit one hole within •p ar for the entire back nine because of the heavy winds. Hiznay and McLaughlin took a point each, Hiznay on the back nine, McLaughlin on the front.

II ~ The Wilkes record over the season before . yesterday's game was 8-4, three of the losses were to nonconference _opponents. Fresh from their smashing 18-8 win over the Vikings of Upsala, the Colonels hope to repeat their hitting feats and tighten up the fielding in order to give the rough Crusaders a good battle in the remaining two games. Reese may call upon southpaw Eddie Birnbaum to handle the pitching chores in tomorrow's tilt. Birnbaum lost his last start at Di0kinson, but with the hitting support offered by the squad in its last two games, he should be able to hold off the veteran Susquehanna crew. Crusaders Experienced Coach Richard S. Hummel boasts a seven-man pitching staff, headed by junior Joe Barlow, 5-9 veteran letterman from Ashland. Last season, Barlow carried the whole staff and picked up additional experience with summer ball in his home town. Freshman Dick Derrick of Morristown, N.J., seems like a red-hot right-handed prospect. Hummel had a total of eight lettermen returning for action this year, and has a well-balanced, experienced team ready to attempt to knock the Colonels out of contention for the Northern Division title.

Jessee Roderick Miss Roderick is not a newcomer to the campus, for she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education here at Wilkes, and later gained her Master's de(contlnued on page 3) The new laws have undergone constant drafting since the 1956-57 school year, when it became apparent that the rapid g rowth and stea dy expan sion of the Coll ege would ove rtake the eff ecti ve ness of the old funda mental laws. Of the many r ev isions and n ew f eatures, the ma jor change is the institution of a Court of Ap peals. The Court is devised to give member s of the stud ent body power to overrid e actions of the Student Governm ent by p etitio'n. Personn el of the Court would consist of two fa culty, one administration, and two student representatives, a•ppointed to terms of one school year. The student Judges would not be members of the Student Government, and all must be approved ,b y a ,majority vote of the Government. Appointments may be challenged by any student by petition of the governing body. The Court itself would cho'o se its chairman •b y a majority vote of its own members. If any action of the Student Government should meet with disapproval of any student, the Court would convene to deal with the controversy at the appeal of any student. The appellate would file a. written account of the arguments presented at the Student Government meeting in the same wording, with no new evidence. The govern- · ing body would liikewise file its arguments against the a p p e a 1, without new evidence, including a c0:py of the minutes of the meeting. If the Court should decide no other investigation is needed, it would examine the facts and the majority opinion would decide the case. Should further evidence be deemed essential, the Court would be empowered to call for arguments from both 'Student Government and the appellates. Other New Rulings Class elections would be held at the end, rather than the start of the school year under the new Constitution. Freshmen would elect their officers and Student Government members between the seventh and tenth weeks of their first semester, while the upper classes would hold elections not later than the eleventh week of the Spring semester. Previously, no qualifications for office-holding existed, and present qualifications for Student Government representation w o u Id be tightened under the proposed laws. A cumulative minimum grade average of 2.0 would be required for any candidate to class office or Student Government. Nomination lists will be sent to the Deans' offices for final ruling. 'Should any officer or representative fall below the minimum, he would .be automatically relieved of his post and a s·pecial election would be held to name his successor. President of Student Government will be elected by the Government and the class from which he comes will be entitled to another repre(contlnued on page 2J �2 Friday, September· 19, 1958 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON XXIXXIIXXXXIXXIXXIIXIXXX EDITORIALS - What Do You Think? After years of study and preparation, the Student Government constitution has been revised and perfected and will soon be submitted to the student body for final approval - or disapproval. The revised constitution will, if accepted, remedy the glaring omission in the presently used document, a Court of Appeals. Anyone who has read the old constitution will have noted that it contains provision for executive and legislative branches, but does not mention the all important judicial department. The proposed appellate division was included purely for the benefit and protection of the students. Under this new section, any student has the right to make an appeal on a Sudent Government decision. The appeal is made by presenting a written summary of the complaint to the Cour of Appeals, which is composed of non-Student Government members. The court will review both sides of the argument and subsequently reach an impartial decision. We feel that the inclusion of the Court of Appeals will not only give the student.body the right to challenge the laws set down by the Student Government, but it will probably silence the half-hearted mumblings of students who continually complain for the sake of having something to talk about. We realize fully that there can be more tangible results from this proposed clause, but to us the important result should be the elimination of the incessant derogatory remarks which are heard far too frequently. There are, of course, many more changes in the constitution. These changes will be discussed at the class meetings Tuesday morning. We are of the opinion that the proposed document is a good one on the whole, but we also feel that each individual student should consider carefully all the pros and cons before he votes. -mjk Stop, Look, Listen! With the exuberance of youth and ·the excitement of a new school year, events following Tuesday's first assembly program possibly might be overlooked. It is to be hoped, however, that there will be no repetition in following weeks. The events referred to are the tie-ups of traffic on South Franklin Street at noon. When over 1,000 students are released at one time, the effect on the limited sidewalk space is predictably devastating, but it need not be as irritating to local motorists as it was Tuesday. Students crossing to the west side of Franklin Street were apparently oblivious to the fact that the traffic light controlling the northbound flow of vehicles was green and their actions had cars blocking the Ross Street intersection while the signals changed. The result was a snarl at the comers of Ross and Franklin Streets. Again, at South Street, in a more flagrant violation of traffic and common-sense rules, students crossed against the light, creating another vehicular snag. It is only everyday courtesy and safe practice to cross only when traffic is nil or when the light is green. It takes no more than 60 seconds for a light to change, but months for a broken limb to heal. Safety costs nothing, use it freely. - RJ HEL-L-LP! For the first, and we promise, the last- time this year, we are sending out the call for reporters. Anyone who wishes to join the staff at this time should report to the Beacon office, 159 South Franklin Street, third floor, on Tuesday afternoon.

LETTER to the EDITOR XXXXXXXXXXXIXXXXXXIIIIXX STANDARDS SET FOR DECORATIONS A yearbook is one of the most important publications that can be edited by a student body. Within its ,p ages one finds every feature The eleventh annual Homecoming celebration of the Wilkes of college life. A year)Jook, then, is an outward expression of the College Alumni will be held October 17 and 18. As in past entire school. Here at Wilkes, the Amnicola reflects the life of our school as a whole. It shows the relationship between the student body and the faculty. Because of this, the Amnicola must have a personality, and that personality is created by you, the student ,body and the faculty. Your ideas, goals, and interests are incor.porated into the one book that will s:peak for you. Just as you, a student of Wilikes, represent your school wherever you go, so does your yearbook. The Amnicola is divided into sections, each pertaining to a different facet of campus life. Activities, Administration, and Sports are among those included. Each holds an important place in making the Amnicola an actual representative of Wilkes Colege, and a yearbook, which truly reflects the spirit of student and faculty alike. What will be your part in contributing to your college yearbook? Moreover, what can Amnicola do for you? To answer these questions, first consider your interests and abilities. Whether you are interested in art, journalism, photography, or advertising, there is a place for you. By wol'king for Amnicola you are not only contributing to a lasting publication, but gaining greater skills in your particular interest area. You will be working with people who share the same interests and are channeling this energy toward goals, which can open new horizons. Also, there are material r ewards to be reaped. Editors r eceive scholarshi:ps, based on the number of years of service that they have given to the Amnicola. Early int erest and pa r ticipation is important. Those interest ed in working on the Amnicola staff this yea r a r e to meet in th e Ar t Building, 159 S. Franklin Street, at 12 :30, Monday, September 22. years, one of the highlights of the busy weekend will be the Saturday afternoon football tilt. This year the Wilkes Colonels are host to the Ursinus Bears. A custom to be repeated this year is the decorating of campus buildings. Russ Picton, alumni secretary, has urged that the c;i.mpus student organizations participate as enthusiastically as they have done in past years. The judging of the decorations will be don e by a committee of alumni on October 17 at 7 :30 p .m. So that all participating groups may have an equal opportunity to win .the decoration trophy, the alumni have establi shed a set of standards which must be adhered .to. All displays will be judged according to: 1. Adherence to the theme 2. Lighting 3. Originality 4. Over-all appeal This year's theme is the Wilkes Colonels vs. the Ursinus Bears. The visiting t eam's colors are red, old gold, and black, and may be used in the dis:plays as well as the blue and gold of Wilkes. A furth er rule for decorating is that each display be limited to a maximum cos' of $25.00. The organization responsible ' the winning display will r eceive a trophy during half-time of the football gam e. The winner's name will be inscribed on the permanent trophy which is kept in a campus trophy case. A small duplicate trophy will be awarded to the winner. The men of Gore Hall took the honors last year. Anyone who wishes to have a display judged should contact All yn Jones well in advance. AWARDS PRESENTED TO WOMEN FOR SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT On Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock Wilkes College held its first assembly of the year. To Wilkes upperclassmen that was just part of getting back into "the old routine". However to the still "a little green" freshmen,' it was their first opportunity to meet with and be a part of the Wilkes College student body. HELEN MILLER E ditor, 1959 Amnicola CONSTITUTION (continued from page 1) sentative on the council, placing total membership of the Student Government at sixteen instead of fift een as at present. A class may r ecall its 1·epresentative at any time it feels that it is •b eing r epresented ineffici ently. A ,p etition signed by a majority of the class must be submitted to the Government, who would be required to a ct •w ithin one week. A twothirds majority would uphold the complaint and a new election would ensue. The name of the disputed member would apipear on the ballot, giving him a chance to prove tha t his class may still have confidence in him. Amendments to the proposed Constitution would be made either by Student Government a ction or by a petition containing the signatures of one-fifth of the entire student body. Copies of the proposed Constitution have ,b een mimeographed and given the widest possible distribution. Members of the Student Government have a cc es s to more, should any student misplace his own copy. Each student will be required to attend his class meeting on September 23. At that time, the main order of business will be the discussion of the document. Every class member should have a copy with him at the meeting in order that the most efficient discussion may ta:ke place. Every student will have a chance to vote for the laws in the elections to 1b e held on October 9. The issue will be in the form of a referendum included with the nominations for class offices. J anet Stahl and Ma rtha Menegus are presented with the Women of Wilkes Award by Mrs. Doane Gwen Evans receiving the Linda Morris Award from Herbert Morris After the customary opening with a hymn and scripture reading, awards were presented to three outstanding women. Mr. Herbert Morris, former registrar of Wilkes College, presented an award in memory of his daughter Linda. The recipient of this was Gwen Evans, a member of the senior class. Miss Evans received this award for having maintained the highest women's average in her class during the past three years. The Women of Wilkes award was presented by Mrs. Doane to two sophomore girls, Martha Menegus and Janet Stahl, for having had the highest average among the women in their freshman year. Robert Morris then offered a few pointers to the freshmen. Morris noted that the frosh did not attend several of the meetings planned for their benefit, and it would be advisable for them to attend in the future. Dr. Farley extended his welcome to the upperclassmen, after which he addressed the entire student body on "The Existence of Constant World Tension". �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON :friday, September I9i ;1958 ......... . . ~ ..

LAW, GRADUATE EXAM INFORMATION GIVEN Princeton , N.J. - September 12: The Law School Admission Test required of applicants for admission to a number of leading American law schools, will be given at more than 100 centers throughout the United States on the mornings of November 8, 1958, F ebruary 21, April 18, and August 1, 1959. During 1957-58 ov e r 14,000 applicants took this test, and their scores were sent to over 100 law schools. A candidate must make separate application for admission to each law school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take the Law School Admission Test and when. Since man y law schools select their freshman classes in the spring preceding th eir entrance, candidates for admiss ion to next year's classes are advised ordinarily to take either the N ovem her or th e February test, if possible. The Law School Admission Test, prepared and administered by Educational Testing Service, features objective questions measuring verbal aptitudes and reasoning ability rather than acquired information. It ca nnot be "crammed" for. Sample questions and information re garding registration for and administration of the test are given in a Bulletin of Information. The Bulletin (in which an application for the test is inserted) should be obtained four to six weeks in advance of the desired testing date from Law School Admision Test, Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. Completed applications must be received at least two weeks before the desired testing date in order to allow ETS tim e to complete the necessary testing arrangem ents for each candidate. The Graduate Record Examination s, required of applicants for admission to a number of graduate school,; and by an increasing ])umber of donors of graduate fellowships, will be administered at examination centers throughout the countrv four times in the coming year, Educational Testing Service has announced. During 1957-58 more than 15,000 students took the GRE in partial fulfillment of admission requirements of graduate schools which prescribed it. This fall candidates may take the GRE on Saturday, November 15. In 1959, the dates are January 17, April 25, and July 11. ETS advises each applicant to inquire of the graduate school of his choice which of th e examinations he should take and on which dates. Applicants for graduate school fellowships are often asked to take the designated examinations in the fall administration. The GRE tests offered in these nationwide programs include a test of general scholastic ability and advance level tests of achievement in sixteen different subject matter fields. According to ETS, - candidates are permitted to take the Aptitude Test and / or one of the Advanced Tests. A Bulletin of Information (in which an application is inserted) provides details of registration and administration as well as simple questions, and may be obtained from college advisers or directl y from Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey, or P.O. Box 27896, Los Angeles 27, California. A completed application must reach the ETS office at least fifteen days before the date of the administration for which the candidate is applying. Four faculty members are reported to have been preparing for their doctorates. They are Mr. Ronald Michman, at NYU; Mr. Benjamin Fiester, at Bucknell; Mr. Robert Werner, at Wisconsin; and Mr. John Hotson. Dr. and Mrs. Hoh-Cheung Mui spent most of their vacation at Yale where they did additional work on their research project dealing with tea-drinking habits of the people of England. TDR Membership At Record High . Girls to Attend Game As One Cheering Unit by Toni Scurernan Mary Homan, president of TDR, has announced that the registration for the sorority has reached an all-time high of over cne hundred members. The newly enrolled women have revealed their enthusiasm for the organization by paying the dues of 75 cents promptly and actively supporting its program. Tomorrow night at the IthacaWilkes football game, Theta Delt.a Rho will introduce its new cheering section. The members will sit on the left of the band in a section marked off -by blue and gold crepe pa-p er ri-b-bon. Each girl will receive a blue and gold shaker at the game. Jean Broody, captain of the cheerleaders, and Grace Sheasley, chairman of the cheering section, All Must Attend Class Meetings Under New Rule On Tuesday, September 23, · tlie different classes of Wilkes will hoid their first compulsory class meet~ ing.

Miss Homan has requested that the girls wear their TDR sweatshirts. TDR will hold its first meeting of the year Monday night, September 22, at 7 :30 in McClintock Hall. Miss Homan has announced that the sorority meetings will be held on Monday nights throughout the year instead of Tuesday as in previous years. The main topic of discussion will be the annual 'wienie roast', chairman of which is Mary Francis Sweigert. At the meeting the members will be able to order -b lazers, sweatshirts, sorority pins, stuffed animals, and beer mugs; however, a deposit will be required. The girls are expected to wear their TDR sweatshirts to the meeting. As many freshmen girls are expected to attend the initial meeting of the year, "Big Sisters" are especially urged to welcome the frosh to TDR. The "Big Sisters" were introduced to their "Little Sisters" at the annual coke party held in McClintock Hall September 11. The party is sponsored by TDR and Jean Broody served as chairman of the affair. Although a program had been planned, it was postponed until the next meeting because of the overwhelming attendance. Last year the men of the college initiated a "Big Brother" program similar to that sponsored by TDR. Each incoming freshman boy has a "Big Brother" who will answer his questions concerning Wilkes and aid him in his adjustment to college life. This program has proved quite successful and promises to become an annual tradition. The "brothers" were introduced at a coke p arty held in the Commons September 11 at 3 :30, after which a combined party to introduce the "Little Sisters" and the "Little Brothers" convened in the Commons. I.D.C. Sport Dante And Cheer Session Next Friday Night The Inter-Dormitory Council has announced its plans for a 8port Dance to be held in the gymnasium on Friday evening, September 26.

Pinkowski started his football career as a member of Nanticoke High School and came to play four years of outstanding ,b all for the Colonels and won the Joseph Gallagher Award for the outstanding football player in 1949. Assistant Coach Lewis was cocaptain of the Wilkes powerhouse teams of 1948-49 and played guard as one of the famed "Seven Bloclks of Anthracite". His recent addition to the staff will undoubtedly give the Wilkes linemen a thorough education in that department. Pinkowski Following his graduation from Wilkes, •~Pinky" served as an officer in the U.S. Navy. His coaching has revitalized teams such as Bordentown, New Jersey, and Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, and his knowledge of the split-T formation should have great effect on the Wilkes team. Pinkowski will be the third head coach to have that position in the history of football at Wilkes. Ralston was the first football coach when the sport was started in 1946.

The Education Club membership is largely of education majors. Memb er s are introduced to various fac ets of the t eaching career, such as state and national t eachers' organizations. An opportunity is provided for interest ed persons t o become acquainted with the meaning of a Student Education Association chapter. * "' ,:, * * On October 1, the club will hold this year's initial social m eeting at 7:30 on the second floor of the Commons. Officers announced that Dr. Eugene Hammer, head of the education department at the college, and his wife will be special Nominations are to be signed by the student, sealed in an envelope and placed in the Beacon mailbox in Chase Hall. They may also be given to Miss Klawonn or another member of the editorial staff. The selection of the fifth annual Homecoming Queen and two princesses will be limited to Senior coeds, which does not include termi nal students. Three young women will comprise the court, the queen and her two princesses. The choice will be based upon the highest number of votes. When Miss Klawonn has received all of the nominations, the names will be listed on a ,b allot sheet which will be placed, sealed, in the mailboxes of the various organizations and clubs on the campus. It is stiipulated that only the President of each organization vote for this year's queen. After making the selection, the ballot must be placed in the Beacon mailbox or returned to Miss Klawonn. This newly-initiated system of voting for the Homecoming Queen should remedy the situation of past years where it was felt that too few people participated. This year there will be an estimated thirty people actively participating in the annual Homecoming Queen selection. The queen and her attendants will .be announced on Friday, October 17. The Homecoming game between Ursinus and Wilkes will be held Saturday, October 18, in the new Kingston football stadium. The queen and her attendants will have a milita r y escor t at the gam e and will be cro wned during the half. The electors in choosing a Homecoming Queen should base their selection on per sonality, appeara nce, academic sta nding , and participation in extra-curricular activities. Last year's choice was Miss Ma r y Ann Bur da , queen, and Misses Theresa Mazza rella a nd Joan Llewellyn, prin cesses. The Qu een will be representing the Wilkes student ,body to alumni. It is hoped that she will be typical of the best Wilikes can offer, and that the alumni will be proud to welcom e her to their ranks next yea r . guest speakers . Their talk and demonstration are entitled, "The Rumor Clinic." All interested freshmen are cordially invited to attend this social to meet upperclassmen members of the club. Refreshments at the meeting should serve as an added incentive to attend. �Friday, September 26, 1958 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - As Homecoming Approaches Us We have been asked by Student Government President Bob Morris to head the committee in charge of selecting a Homecoming Queen and her attendants. Since this is our first try at anything of this nature, we have done a little research on the subject and come up with the following set of standards for the selection. First and foremost, the queen and the attendants this year . will be selected from the senior class. This excludes terminal students. We have some very definite feelings about this regulation, most of them from the standpoint of the alumni, who the queen is actually for. Most former Wilkes students who return for the annual Homecoming celebration will have known most of the present senior class. Few would remember present day juniors and almost none of the returnees will remember sophomores or freshmen, hence the limitation to seniors. The voting for the queen will be carried on in an entirely new manner. In past years, the Beacon Editorial Staff, composed of about five students, selected the queen. This year, we will distribute a sealed ballot to all club and organization presidents and publications editors on campus. In this manner, approximately thirty individuals will be in on the voting - therefore making it more fair to all concerned. Only the presidents of the organizations will vote, not the organizations themselves. This, we hope, will make vote-counting easier and at the same time, give more people a chance to take part in the selection. The queen and her two attendants will again be selected with the following standards in mind: personality, appearance, academic standing, and participation in extra-curricular activi ties. We feel that all of the above standards are fair in every respect, however, we are always open for suggestions on this or any other matter. If you have a complaint or a "good word" about this or any Beacon policy, let us know - we are not mindreaders. -mjk The Usual Story We have been informed through several sources that the Amnicola staff consists of the overwhelming total of four people. This tremendous show of spirit and cooperation completely amazes and shocks us. How such a condition can exist on a cam pus of this size is beyond our comprehension and our imagination. The Amnicola is a publication for all the students - why should four overworked students have to carry the load for the remaining eleven hundred people who attend Wilkes? We can see no valid reason for this lackadaisical approach to the only yearbook published on campus. We can say, through personal experience, that Editor Helen Miller does not beat copy editors, sock assistant editors, or even, to our knowledge, carry a whip. Let's get with it - this is no attitude to be proud of. There are . opportunities galore on the Amnicola, it's a shame to let them go to waste. -mjk OPERA GROUP ~;~.i:,~~'w~;~~~!~ of New York, will visit WilkesBarre, it was announced today, during its transcontinental tour. It will be the troupe's 14th appearance here sin ce 1945. The F estival is being sponsored locall y by the Wyoming Vall ey Op era Guild , and is schedul ed to appear at the Irem Templ e on Tuesday evening, October 7, in Verdi 's celebrated opera, "Rigoletto," in one performance onl y. ' The reputation of the N ew York Opera F estival is a remarkable one. Originally all tours were presented under th e name of the Wagner Opera Company, which was a reorganization of the late Charles L. Wagner's trave!fng troupe. Following the F estival's outstanding success at the Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Washington, D.C., when six outdoor performances were presented during the Summer of 1957, it was decided to herald all future performances as the "New Yo1;k Opera Festival", with the parent name "Wagner Opera" being relegated to the background. The more than three hundred professional s i n g e r s were auditioned, and re-auditioned, during the past year, and final selection was based on vocal ability, appearance and experience. Included in the current roster of artists are singers who have appeared with the Metropolitan Opera Association, the New York City Opera Company, the NBC-TV opera group, the Long Island Opera Com,p any, and other leading operatic organizations. These seasoned performers are members of the only professional grand opera company now touring the United States and Canada. Seats for the forthcoming engagement are now on sale at Hildebrand Music Store, 38 W. Market St.; Central Ticket Agency, Charles 'n' Mary Music Store, Jack Melton's in Kingston, Wick's Jewelry Store in Pittston, and from Miss Mildred Gittins at the Wilkes College Bookstore.

Many New Students Join Debate Squad , by Jim Eidam Hoping to continue their impressive record, the Wilkes debating team, under the direction of Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, had its first session last Thursday. Three members of last year 's group have returned to form a nucleus of the present squad. They are Gwen E vans, senior student who tied for first speaker at the state tournament last year; Fred Rob erts, m ember of last year's outstanding two-man t eam; and Roberta F einstein, who was a m ember of the 1957-58 novice squad. A large group of frosh and transfer students have shown interest in debating, according to Dr. Kruger. Included in this group are David Weiss and Aaron Hastie, upperclassmen transfer students, and Michael Bianco, Jerome Krasa, William Ruzzo, Herbert Williams, Wayne Thomas, James Muratt, Albert Kishel, Nelson Pappucci, Robert Chamberlain, and Joseph Shambe. The squad will soon begin to do extensive research on the current topic: " Resolved: That the Further 1 Development of Nuclear Weapons Should be Prohibited by International Agreement." An active year is planned for the -squad. Included among the var sity four-man tournaments are St. Joseph's, Philadelphia, the week-end of November 15; New York University, Bucknell, State Tour nament at Scranton; Eastern Forensic Tournament, and King's. Several novice tournaments are also on the agenda, as well as important nationwide two-man invitational tournaments. Dr. Kruger extends an invitation ~ to all students interested in debating to become affiliated with the squad. He has pointed out that no previous experience is necessary, as some of the top speakers in past years had lacked experience when they joined the squad.

SUMMER WRESTLING SEMINAR CONDUCTED by Ray Yanchus Many Wilkes fans may have been a littl e confused last Saturday night over the new rules whi ch prevail in college football this season. Because many of the students and "cash" c u s t om e r s are well acquainted with local high school games, they tend to forget that college ball is played under somewhat different rules. Some of these rul es have been revised for the 1958 season. Some.of the major changes are listed for your enlightenment. You may have wondered why there was a long string of players reporting to the refe r ee before the start of the game. Th e reason is that each number must be recorded by the official and he checks to see that a player who ha s bee n in the game during any given quarter returns only once more during that p eriod. This year, a substitute may return to the game during the same quarter in which he entered. A substitution cannot he made when the clock is running; if a player ente rs th e game at that time, play I-le graduated from Pittston High School in 1952 and started here at Wilkes in 1953 and has just last year returned to the academic scene During th e past summ er, Wilkes after a brief sojourn into the wo1•k- wrestling Coach John Reese, asing world. sisted by Don Kemp, head coach at Kingston, h eld a wrestling seminar Frank played three years of footfur high school partici'pants of that ball and four years of basketball sport.

McCracken's Squad Boasts Heavy Line; Injuries Hurt Wilkes by Richard J. Myers Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels will make their second start of the season, seeking a win over the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley. The Annville, Pa., college will play host to the local eleven in the first game of the season for the downStaters. Coach Ellis McCracken attended the Wilkes-Ithaca game last week, and despite the lopsided score of that contest, expressed some concern over the strength of the Colonel line. Photo by SWETT FERRIS SHAPES STRONG MACHINE by Jim Hennighan ITHACA BOMBS GRID OPENER Anestimated2,100fanswatched the Wilkes Colonels go down to a 27 to O defeat at the hands of the Ithaca Bombers. The Colonels fumbled on the first play and watched with dismay as Bob Ryan, Ithaca back, threw a pass from the Wilkes 45-yard line to score a sixpointer on the first play. Eight lettermen and five veterans of last year's play are among the twenty-five candidates for this year's edition of the Wilkes College soccer team. Head coach Jim Ferris is pleased with the turnout of veterans and newcomers and has high hopes for a winning season. The Colonel hooters had three wins, two losses and three ties on their 1957 record. Among the returning lettermen are five linemen, two backs, and the goalie. The line is especially well manned with Carl Havira, a junior at outside left; Seth Ansah, a senior at ingridders then settled down side left; Co-Captain Nick Giordano, a senior at center forward; Pete Perog, a junior at inside to The a steady hard-pressing defense right; and Ivan Pappanicholas, a sophomore at outside right. for the rest of the first half and Backing up this letterman line line are three veterans, seniors Len Frankowiak and Ed Mccafferty and s o p h o m o re Lou Zwiebel. The strength of the Colonel line will enable Coach Ferris to alternate the starters and rest them when necessary. But the backfield is a different story, with only two lettermen and two veterans returning to fill five positions, Coach Ferris will find it necessary to ex perim ent with newcomers to fill the vacancies. Left halfback and co-Captain Joe Morgan, a junior, and fullbackhalfback Lou Davis, another junior, are th e returning lettermen. Seniors Dick Roberts and Tom Ruggiero are the only other veteran backs. The return of goalie Bob Payne, a senior, solves the problems of that position for Coach Ferris. Payne is a letterman with plenty of experience, but at the moment has no one to bac-k him up in case of injury.

Wilkes-Barre. Pa. Perfectly Served 22-Bucknell . Sports Schedule I I I • Under McCracken last year, the Dutchm en took three of six games, including a 21-0 win over Wilkes. This season, his fifth at the helm of the team, he has had a big res·ponse to ·practice sessions, with nearly forty candidates. Included among those are several who have three seasons of varsity ball under their belts, along with a handful of other veteran lettermen. His line is blessed with plenty of weight, bolstered by 210-pounder Neil Aharrah, who is one of McCra<.>ken's top wrestlers. Others are: Tom Kunkle at 220 pounds, Cyril Kardos at 210, and tough Ken Longenecker, who tips the scales at an even 300. · The backfield comes in for its share of experienced men, led ,b y the sensational Bill DeLiberty, who ran last year's t eam from quarterback and wreaked havoc on th e Colonels with hi s sharp passing and cagy field genel'alship. Backing DeLiberty at quarterback is Frank GiovinaztZo. Halfbacks Les Holstein, Vern Magn11son, and Irv Legay are all hard runn ers as is Ed Slezosky at fullback. Wilkes will have to do without th e services of two strong m en, possibly thre e. Hurt in pre-season drills, lineman Steve Perkowski will probably be out for the rest of the season . Because of the injuries he received in the Ithaca game, Bob King may also be on the inactive list for th e rest of the year. Still doubtful is Frank Spudis, whose foot was badly banged up Saturday night. (See "Athlete of the Week", page 4.) The Colonels will have to be in top shape to operate effectively against a team with such a strong bench, and if desire for improvement and wish. for revenge will help offset their smaller squad, the Wilkesmen just might spring a surprise on the Dutchmen tomorrow.

Miss Hellman's concert tours have placed her before a wide variety of audience types and she has become expert in mixing classical and popular music. Her college appearances have always been well-received and she has had equal success in formal concerts in such places as the Ruban Bleu, New York, the Troika, Washington, D.C., and the Boeuf sur le Tait, Paris. A special feature of many of her programs has been interpretations of Liadow's Music Box as Bach would play it, as Chopin would play it, and as Benny Goodman would play it. No final advance iprogram has been sent here, but h er program will probably contain classical works by Rachmaninoff, Scarlatti, Tschaikowsky, Liszt, and Lecuona, in addition to folk and popular songs . Miss Hellman's appearance is made through the Assembly committee under the leadership of Gilbert Gregory. The committee has posted a complete schedule of assembly programs with an explanatory sheet listing the guest artists and their particular acts. This year, the committee hop es to •p rovide the students with the most interesting, enlightening, and educational p r o gram s ,p ossible. Meetings of the committee will be announced on the bulletin board and suggestions, complaints, or comments by students would be welcomed at the public sessions. _FOREIGN STUDY NEWS LISTED BY BRITISH I.S.

Each college sends eight students, representing one nation of the United Nations to the M.G.A . In this three-day convention, the C.C.U .N. m embers conduct a small scale assembly, which is extrem ely interesting and of great educational value.

Morris announced that the Student Council had appointed Gordon Roberts to make the evaluation. Members of the student body of Wilkes College will elect their class officers, student government members, and will decide whether or not the constitutional revisions go into effect at elections Wednesday. Chase Theatre will be the scene of the voting activity from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. During the meeting th e student leaders were given questionnaires containing the following questions: 1. What in your opinion consti- tutes an honor system ? Since the frosh did not nominate their slates of officers with the upperclassmen, they held a special meeting in the gym Monday for nominations. Freshman advisers along with student council members Barbara Federer, George Reynolds, and Frank Steck, attended the meeting in an advisory capacity. 2.

How many of us are going to trouble ourselves enough to go to Chase Theatre and vote for the candidates of our choice? How many of us will take the time to consider the pros and cons of the proposed constitutional changes? Obviously, the situation confronting most organizations on campus confronts our class leaders, as well. The 'situation' we refer to is known as "apathy". It was recently demonstrated at senior class meeting when some individuals wondered why there is an organization called the student council. The same apathy has made it necessary to hold class meetings with compulsory attendance - not enough persons bother to attend the regular meetings; not enough persons bother to inform themselves of what is going on in THEIR school. So, if you can possibly spare five minutes on Wednesday, YOUR vote for the fellow classmate of YOUR choice will be appreciated. - JLE Same Old Song and Dance Tonight we again have before us one of the "usual Friday night sport dances" that have suddenly become the rage on campus. The "usual" invariably consists of, ONE, an admission price - always known three weeks in advance. TWO, a bandthe name of which is never known for sure until the Wednesday immediately preceding the dance. THREE, a publicity director who comes tearing up to our office late Tuesday evening w ith the above mentioned information and a list containing the names of three hundred committee members. The publicity chairman wants, in the order mentioned, the headlines, preferably page one; a full column of details, if possible the story should run over to pages three and four; and last, but not least, his or her picture on the front page. We are not "picking on" any one particular club, all the organizations who have held dances this semester are at fault as we see it. If we may be so bold as to ask, what in the world has happened to the good old intermission program complete with gimmicks? And while we are at it, has the price of a roll of crepe paper gone up again? To our sometimes oversensitive feelings, this looks like a definite lack of interest and planning on the part of the clubs that have held dances this semester. The general feeling seems to be "just open the gym and everyone will flock to the lights". Perhaps they will for a while, but people will soon get sick of the "usual" and consequently clubs with later dates on the calendar will suffer. We have tried to publish good long stories in this paper, but a story can be padded only to a certain extent. We want to help you with your publicity, so just don't sit there, get up and do a little work that will attract our readers' attention. -mjk CLUB CO-OPERATION IS GOAL OF CONFERENCES by Jean Shofranko Everyone knows that a co-operative effort put forth by all concerned individuals is sure to lead to better results. With this in mind the student leaders of campus organizations held the first in a series of Student Leaders' Conferences last week. Rob ert Morris, President of the Student Council, explained th e purf th f t th e poses O e con er e~ce ~ 111 forty-thr ee representatives att endance. The main purpose of th ese conferences is to provide the officials of th e many campus clubs with an opportunity to becom e better acquainted. The second obj ective is to advise these officials of current Student Council policies. The final purpose is to enable each officer of a club to disc uss his program policies and problem s with his a ssociates. Morris stated that clubs can achiev e success in acti vities through the use of financial reports and through filing reports for fu - ture r eference. H e added that th e lack o~ a c~ive p_articipatio_n in m~ny organizations 1s due to meffect1ve planning. H e advised th e stud ent leaders to use careful judgement in planning meetings in order to attain smooth, effici ent organizations . The purpos es and fun ctions of the Amincola, The School Spirit Committee, The Student Assembly Committee, a nd the Beacon w er e explained by th e officers of th ese orga ni zations.

Collegians Plan Formal Concert Ensemble Change Wilkes College's musical ambassadors of good will, the Collegians, are rapidly rounding out their Fall program in preparation for several important engagem ents. Under the baton of their new director, Bill P eters, the choristers are planning to present the fir st full formal concert in th e eightyear history of the group. This concert will be on W edn esday, October 29, at Nanticoke High School, and is sponsored by the Baptist Men 's gro-up of that city. Several short performances as warm-ups are scheduled prior to the concert date. The first of these will be Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., when the men will sing at the gymnasium as part of the entertainment for the Parent's Day program. On Friday night, they will sing at th e intermission of the United Fund Dance at the gym. Membership in the chorus is now at an all-time high of 41 voices . The men practice daily during their lunch time and are even scheduling night reh earsals in order to work their r epertoire up to concert pitch. New Uniforms Planned The first major change in uniform is w ell beyond the planning stage . This year's chorus, in concerts of full -scale size, will w ea r t wo costumes. For the sacred and serious numb ers, blue rob es will be worn. In the s econd part of th e show, th e new uniform will be u sed. White coat-s weaters with black , gold-trimmed "WC" embl e ms w ill be part of th e new look. White shirts, black knit ties, and charcoal slacks compl et e the ens emble. Reasons advanced for the change are that the interlocked initials will represent both th e Colleg e and the chorus, and that the overall effect w ill give the chorus a more " collegiate" appearance. In k eeping with the other inno vations, the format of the concerts has al so been slightly r evamped. President Dick Myers will act a s master of ceremonies, reli eving the director of the distracting task of introducing th e numbers.

It is necessary that the set designs be completed, at least in plan, before rehearsals ca n begin.

'................................... l THE ROVING CHIMERA f ~ by Fred Roberts The United States, as of September 30, finds herself at the very questionable mercies of the Red Chinese and of her own allies, the Nationalists, in the Formosa Straits. If Dulles' gamble is not called and a war does not break out, our blunder could paradoxically be a good thing. At least our basic Far Eastern policy in regard to Nationalist China will be subjected to reevaluation - despite the administration's accusations of treason. Chiang Kai- sh ek would like to con tinue his garrisons on the Quemoys and Matsu beca use these islands have effectively blockaded the Red ports of Amoy and Foochow. He also professes to hope that they will serve as stepping stones for his r eturn to the mainland. They are of more immediate import too, because th eir loss might unsettle his r egime on Taiwan. But they are also useful to -Chiang as pawns in drawing th e U.S. into closer s upport of Nationalist aims. If th e U.S. 7th fle et became militarily involved with Red China by attempting to run the bloc-k ad e of Chinese artillery or by aiding th e Nationalist air force in silencing th e Red g un emplacements, or even to bail ·Chian g out afte r a misst ep, Chiang could r eturn to th e mainla nd on the wings of the U.S. eagle. Chia ng expects too much when he a sks us to help defe nd these r eall y insignificant islands at th e r isk of war. The r eds ha ve nothing to lose in maintaining th eir blockad e because we almost surely would not a ttack th e m unl ess they make othe r aggressive mo ves ; so t he islands wi ll eventuall y ha ve to be g iven up . The Warsaw talks th er efore are foredoom ed unl ess we offer something s ubstantia l in r eturn for a cease fir e. Call it appea sement if that term is still valid in thi s nucl ear era, but do not cite Munich to shut off arg um ent, beca use there is little similarity. It is only so und s trategy to meet Communist cha!lenges from so und positions. As an immediate solution to t his s ituation, I s uggest that we agree to forc e Chiang out of Quemoy and Matsu. In return for his withdrawal we would r enew our pledge of mutual defense with Formosa and offer increased aid. We would also promise Red China recognition, a seat in the U .N., and eventual membership on Security Council if she stops her aggressive acts in straits and agrees to an extended cease fire. If she does not a ccept, we will have to continue aiding Chian g in supplying the islands, but we must at all costs ikeep him from attacking the mainland. By becoming a party to U.N. obligation s, th e Red Chinese a ctions would be subject to world debate and censure and th e Reds wou ld lose their 'biggest talkin g point in Asia. She would also be s ubj ect to decisive issues raised by th e West in th e U.N. to separate he1· from th e Soviet and to incr ea sed trad e loosenin g h er dependence on her Communi st a ll y. Ther e is no ess ential moral principl e involved. The isla nds are indefe nsibl e military outpost s h eld by one s ide in a continuing civil war. We ar e not committed to th eir def ense unl ess t hey are deemed vital to Formosan defense, and w e gave up th e Tachens in 1955 under t he sam e condition s. Our presti ge in As ia, .moreover, would probably incr ease a s we yield an unsound pos ition with courage. W e would not lose an ally because Chiang coul d not exist with out us . Recog nition is a r eali sti c acceptance of an a ccompli shed fact; the Reds have entrench ed th emselves on the mainla nd, in fact, abetted by Nationalist s' threats and U.S. hostility, and non-recognition has certainl y not noti ceably weak ened them. It is tim e to retreat from stubborn pos itions to lines which can be defended by the whole Free World. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ... Ed Club Dance - Gymnasium, Tonig ht, 9:00-12 :00.

ALUMNI TO AWARD DISPLAY TRO HY P by Cynthia Hagley · At halftime of the Wilk es-Ursinus game on October 18 , t he alumni will present a trophy to the dorm, or organization that has produced the best display on the Homecoming th em e "Wilkes versus Ursinus ." The displays will be judged on originality of thought, lighting, overall appearance, and adherence to the theme. No more than $ 25 may be spent on each one. Aside from the individual trophy, the name of th e winner will be insc ribed on a permanent trophy kept in one of the Wilkes trophy cases. Any organization wishing to enter the exhibition please contact Allyn Jones in Butler Hall. H e must know, for the alumni, the name of the organization putting on the display, the location of the display on campus, and the person in charge of the production. - - -- - - - Activity Forms Rules Discussed by Leaders In Conference Thurc-day ~ by Florence Gallagher At th e r ecent student leade r s' conference, a report was made by Barbara Federer about the rul e r equiring activity forms to b e filled out by clubs planning various affairs and submitted to the Student Government. Miss Federer told the conference that the lack of information about these forms was the cause of th e frequent violations of thes e rul es. These rules were not laid down by the student body, but w ere handed down by the administration. Until now there have been penalti es imposed for failure to comply with them. However, this year, the penalties retained from last year were considered too harsh and were dropped. No definite action can be taken by the Student Government until it is certain that everyone is familiar with the rules which state that a report of any event being planned must be submitted two weeks prior to the date on which it is to take place. Indications are that a report will be made to Student Government in approximately one month, after which a similar report will be made to representatives of every club on campus to acquaint them with the rules and penalties decided upon.

There was plenty of courag e s ho wn both and off the field as the Colonels faced rugged playing conditions, while three ultra-lo yal fans stood behind them in the driving rain a nd cheered th em on. The game, reflecting th e impossible conditions, was marred by a total of twenty-four fumbles of the sodden pigskin. Thirteen of these were recov ered; six by Wilkes and seven by Vall ey. Runners were ta ckl ed repeatedly because th ey were unable to get going on the gooey s urface, and line play was slow and sluggish. Th e Colonels had a touchdown call ed back when a Spudis-blocked pu nt was grabbed and carried into the end zone by Mike Dydo; there was a penalty against Wilkes, nullifying the score. Later in th e game, the Colonels lost a heart-brea·king scoring op portunity when they fumbled on first down, kno ciking on the touchdo wn door on the Valley three-yard stripe. Rugged line play by Spudis, who blocked two punts and recovered two fum bles, in addition to some fine backfield work by Tom Kriselevicz, Ja y Kubicki, Ray Yanchus, Marv Antinnes, and Bill Michaels kept the Colonels in the game. Of particular value was the uncanny punting of Bill Michaels, this week's w inner of the Beacon Athlete of the Week award. - • SPALDING-RAWLINGS and WILSON Distributors Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES LetterlDg LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS 11 E.

Senior Index form s will be passed out at a forth coming meeting of the Senior Class which will be held on Tuesday, November 28, at 11 o'clock in Pickering 203. Evenin g stud ents and students not attending this meeting will be mailed forms. For the benefit of fre shman students and some upperclassmen, the Senior Index is a compilation of ea ch student's activities during his college term. This index appears at the end of the yearbook and is important because immediate access of each senior's activities can be obtained. Two of the many new instructors at Wilkes this year are Mr. Chester Colson and Mr. Francis Pinkowski. Mr. Colson is now teaching in the Commerce and Finance department and is also assistant professor in the Art Education department. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Education from Massachusetts School of Art, and later his Masters degree from Columbia University. Before coming to Wilkes, Mr. Colson held the position of an "In Service Teach er" in the Burlington, Vermont, School System. An InService instructor is a unique n ew occupation developed r ecently in education.

LAWRENCE STRESSES SUPPORT OF STATE'S HIGHER EDUCATION Pittsburgh's Mayor David L . Lawrence, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, addressed the student body of Wilkes College at noon, Tuesday, October 7, on the law of Chase Hall. Lawrence's visit to Wilkes was sponsored by the college Student Council. Members of the council met with Mayor Lawrence and members of his party in Dr. Farley's office. Among those present were: Dr. Hugo Mailey, Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Dr. Bastress, Dr. John Dorris, County Democratic Chairman, Senator Martin Murray, Mr. Al Briden, and Miss Genevieve Blatt. Mayor Lawrence called for "an awakening of all Americans to the crisis we face in higher education." He praised George M. Leader for his program for higher education which failed to be enacted in the last session of the General Assembly. "Once again, Governor Leader demonstrated his alert awareness of the challenges of our times when he conceived his program for improving educational opportunities for Pennsylvania's young people," Lawrence asserted. "It is important to emphasize that his program, calling for college scholar- s hips and loans as well as a system of junior colleges throughout the Commonwealth, was presented before Sputnik jolted the free worl<l into serious concern about our educational program." In explaining the situation of young people going on for advanced education, Lawrence said, "It is shocking to know that only one out of three high school students go on to college in this nation of ours. It is even more shameful that here in Pennsylvania, with its wealth of good colleges and universities, only one out of every four high school graduates have the opportunity to continue their education. "No one is advocating an easy way to become educated," he added, "What we must have, however, is the broadening of opportunities to make certain that every qualified young man and woman can go to college if he wants to do so. There is nothing more important to our civilization and to human advancem ent than the revitalization of our system of education . "This, of course, includes improvements in public schools, in which the State government has such a major responsibility here in P ennsylvania." · · Until officers have been' elected arid the organization of ·the · class is c6'mplete, the frosh have · bee~ aicjed ..by u pperc)assmen in. the ~t;e~\:gha~\;:: a~~~i\~-~e~:r:~ chairman_: assisted •by.'Student Gov.~ . b\J~t:sT~;~:;e li?eman !rank t:o~;~~~i:o~:~:!a;t::~1~:f:_er, Spudis . has bee~ · p1ck~d · by · the_' ' · The· 'new students have go'fle into Eastern College Athleti~ Conf~r- the projt# imdei; full sail' aria ha.'VB' I ence fot . hol'lorable mention '?11 )ts line'd •up a:n evening . of; entertain,.

Beal P. M~ C. �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON wc Placement Director W. GASBARRO J PARMENTER EDITORIALS - Laryngitis??? Well, what happened? All of a sudden everyone was speechless, or should we say songless. The response to the usual, expected, routine hymn singing in assembly was worse than usual this last Tuesday. We expect all sorts of excuses ranging from "Didn't hear the number announced" to "Didn't have a book." Gosh, we feel sorry for you, poor little children, so helpless and deserted by everything, even common reason. It must have been embarrassing to say the least. All we have to say al this point is "thank Allah" that the assembly program did not include some dignitary from the community. What a sorry sight that would have been. While we are on the subject of assembly, we can't help but think of the speeches that were given in such earnest voices last Tuesday. What promises were made! We wish we had a tape recording of the entire program to play back next April or May. We are not being facetious, but how many times have we heard the same things promised each year? For three years we have sat, squirming, in the gym listening to the same old story about including the Vets in class activities, getting together with the dorm students, etc., etc. This MAY be the year for such promises to be fulfilled, we sincerely hope so. It was refreshing, however, to hear someone, other than a donn student, admit that the resident students were more active in school affairs than day students. Tell Us More The United Fund Campaign gets its official start on campus tonight with the annual United Fund Dance in the gym. All proceeds from this dance will go into the fund. The rest of the money expected from the college will, we hope, come from each and every student. All of us will be asked to contribute a dollar to the fund. This isn't much to ·exp~t from the students as we ·see it. Let's back this drive, we have a lackluster reputation around the community in connection with this annual affair because of last year's miserable showing. · Let's get back on the right side of the ledger! . - mjk WHAT . . .

There can be no doubt that we must provide more funds, at every level of government if we are to have the school buildings, the curricula, the training resources, and the teachers we need to properly educate the young people of Pennsylvania. "Although the Congress recently enacted legislation providing some degree of Federal aid to education, there still remains the need for broader Federal assistance both at Friday, October 10, 1958 the public school and the college levels." Lawrence further added that, "America's competition for world leadership will be won or lost in our public schools and in our colleges and universities." Lawrence concluded his remarks by stating that, "We should have a State program of scholarship loans, completely free of political influence; we should be planning now for a State-wide system of community colleges; we must work now for a broader program of Federal aid to education; and we cannot be satisfied with an educational program in Pennsylvania until we take first rank among the States in the nation." Named Liaison Officer For Danforth Fellowship The Danforth Foundation, an educational foundation located in St. Louis, Missouri, invites applications for the eighth class (1959) of Danforth Graduate Fellows from college senior men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and are planning to enter graduate school in September, 1959, for their first year of graduate study. The Foundation welcomes applicants from the areas of Natural and Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities and all fields of specialization to be found in the undergraduate college. President E. S. Farley has named John Chwalek as the Liaison Officer to nominate to the Danforth Foundation two or not to exceed three candidates for these 1959 fellowships. These appointments are fundamentally "a relationship of encouragement" throughout the years of graduate study, carrying a promise of financial aid within prescribed conditions as there may be need. The maximum annual grant for single Fellows is $1400 plus tuition and fees charged to all graduate students; for married Fellows, $1900 plus tuition and fees charged to all graduate students with an additional stipend of $350 for each child. Students with or without financial need are invited te apply. A Danforth Fellow is allowed to carry other scholarship appointments, such as Rhodes, Fulbright, Woodrow Wilson, Marshall, etc., concurrently with his Danforth Fellowship, and applicants for these appointments are cordially invited to apply at the same time for a Danforth Fellowship. If a man received the Danforth Appointment, together with a Rhodes Scholarship, Fulbright Scholarship, or Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he becomes a Danforth Fellow without stipend, until these other relationships are completed. All Danforth Fellows will participate in the annual Danforth Foundation Conference on Teaching, to be held at Camp Miniwanca in Michigan next September, 1959. The qualifications of the candidates as listed in the announcement from the Foundation are: men of outstanding academic ability, personality congenial to the classroom, and integrity and character, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition. All applications, including the recommendations, must .b e completed by January 31, 1959. Any student wishing further information should get in touch with Mr. Chwalek. T.D.R.

The Colonels, al,t hough e d g e d out in a r eal squeaker, lived up to pre-season estimates. of having a real powerhouse when they unlea shed the pent-up furies exhibited by fullba ck Lou Davis. Although the Wilkes hooters did not rise to their full potentialities in the first half, they were k ept in the game by the determination of this sturdy player who attempted almost single-handedly to stem the concerted attacks of the Blue Jays. Lou's tremendous efforts weren't limited to the first half, where it was estimated that he halted at least eleven key goal tries by the opposition; he also formed the apex of the Wilkes wedge that smashed back in the second half. Wilkes' own 'Lou the Toe' spearheaded the drives that culminated in goals ,b y teammates Giordano and Havira. The loss of Carl Havira, All-Conference Honorable Mention last year, hurt the Colonels' chances in the second half, but 'the Toe' assumed Carl's r es ponsibilities also with seemingly no extra effort. Lou spent 17 months in France with the U.S. Army after graduating from William P enn Charter School in 1952. He lettered on t he tradk team in high school and played baseball and basketball in the service. He is a junior Commerce and Finance student and an active member of the L ettermen's Club and a native of New Hope, Pennsylvania.

BOOTERS TEST WAGNER TEAM by Don Hancock After suffering a 3-2 defeat at the hands of a strong Elizabethtown team, the soccer team tomorrow journeys to Staten Island, New York, to play Wagner. Tomorrow's game will be the -f irst meeting of the two teams and is the second game of a three-game road stand for the Colonel hooters. Coach Jim Ferris has been working hard to eliminate the· team's ·weaknesses which were brought out into the open in Saturday's· game. Inexperience, which plagued the backfield throughout the game, was the principal weakness. It can be eliminated solely through continued practice and hard work and as anyone can attest, inexperience is a bitter but . nevertheless excellent teacher. · Gari Havira, outside right and scorer of one of the two Colonels' goals, reinjured his right anikle and saw limited action in Saturday's game but expects to be in condition for tomorrow's game. With the continued excellent play of the line and constant improvement of the backfield through experience and coaching, the team will be a hard one to beat tomorrow at Staten Island. If you are unfamiliar with the game, go over to Kirby Park any afternoon of the week and watch the men drive up and down the 120yard field. They work hard and, like all other campus activities, need your support and avid interest.

Most students, especially upperclassmen, have accum~lated quite a few b o o ik s in introductory courses, for which they have no longer any use. The Lettermen's plan is to collect all these unused "dust gathering" books and distribute them to financially pressed students. John Thomas, chairman of the project, is in the midst of organizing a workable plan whereby books will be collected at the end of each semester and redistributed to other n eedy students at the beginning of the following semester. No partiality will be shown in th selection of the recipients of these books. Boys, girls, and Veterans will be equally eligible, provided all have a real need.

Franklin St., to the college in 1945. This building was given the name of "Gies Hall" in memory of the late Professor Paul Gies, who for more than a decade served as a director of the College's Music Department. ■ ■ ■ College Named afler Palriol Kirby Hall was given to Wilkes Wilkes College received its charter on June 26, 1947, and in naming College in 1941 by Mr. Allan Kirby. the college, the officials and trustees have honored John Wilkes, English The home was the former residence patriot and defender of American freedom. of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred John Wilkes was responsible for the establishment of three of the Morgan Kirby. fundamental rights that belong to The spacious grounds of Kirby Americans today, namely: freedom Hall adjoin those of Chase Hall and from arbitrary arrest, freedom of provide the college with traditional the press, and the right of electors to choose their representatives campus atmosphere. without dictation from any authority.

CONYNGHAM HALL, SECOND BUILDING Today, Gies Hall is used as a Conservatory of Music by the college. In addition to the many classrooms in Gies Hall, there are also several practice rooms for music majors, and hi-fidelity facilities for use in the music department. PICKERING HALL Pickering Hall, 181 S. Franklin St., home of the late Dr. S. P. Mengel, was purchased by Wilkes College in 1949. The Mengel Home was renamed Pickering Hall in honor of the famous soldier, Timothy Pickering, who was an early supporter of the Revolutionary movement in Massachusetts. He led a Massachusetts contingent to join Washington's Army in the winter campaign of 1776-77 and in May, 1777, he accepted the military position of Adjutant General of the U. S. Army. He was selected as Quartermaster General in 1780. His Letters constituted an invaluable Commentary on the course of the Revolution. Pickering Hall is presently used by the Commerce and Finance Department of Wilkes. The Conyngham property, 120 S. River St., was given as a gift to the college on August 19, 1937, by Mrs. Bertha Robinson Conyngham, widow of the late John N. Conyngham. The building was since named "John N. Conyngham Hall." Conyngham Hall was the second building given to Wilkes, when the college was still affiliated with Bucknell University. The Conyng- ham residence was built by Mr. Charles Parrish, noted coal-mining figure of Wyoming Valley. Formerly used for Chemistry and Engineering, Conyngham Hall is now used by several departments, mainly Commerce and Finance and the evening school division. The two-story garage behind the main building also provides additional classroom facilities. Girls' Dormitories GYMNASIUM The Wilkes Gymnasium was completed in September, 1950, and is considered to be one of the most modern in the state. The Gymnasium is 100 x 200 feet and has a playing area of 98 x 144 feet, large enough for three basketball courts. The seating capacity is flexible, accomodating from 1200 to 2200 persons. Large shower and dressing rooms are located on both the first and second floors, rear; and in the front are located offices and a conference room. A kitchen has also been installed to provide facilities for food preparations for the many college and community affairs held at the gymnasium each year. Of the ten buildings presently used as dormitories, five are used by young women attending Wilkes from out-of-town. One of the first buildings to be used as a girl's dorm, when Wilkes was known as Bucknell Junior College, was Weckesser Hall, 78 W. Northampton St. This building was donated to the college by Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Weckesser in 1938, and it was first used as a school of music by Wilkes and also as the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Farley. Clintock, chairman of the college's Board of Trustees, donated his home at 44 S. River St., to the college, for use as a women's dorm. Weiss and Catlin Halls are the latest dormitory additions to the campus, both being acquired in 1957. Weiss Hall, 98 S. River St., was donated to Wilkes by Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Weiss. Mr. Weiss is a trustee at the college and also founder of the Triangle Shoe Company. The Reynolds home, 92 S. River St., was purchased by the college and renamed Catlin Hall after George Catlin, one of our great native painters, who devoted himself to the Indian cause. George Catlin was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1796. Catlin Hall is considered to be one of the oldest buildings in this area, being built in the early In 1951, Attorney Gilbert S. Mc- 1840s. In 1949, a bequest of Colonel Walter C. Sterling gave the college Sterling Hall, 72 S. River St. This building, with its lacy ironwork reminiscent of the New Orleans Latin Quarter, extended the campus into the first block of S. River St. �Friday, October 17,1958 5 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON DURING HOMECOMING, 1958 Chase Hall, First Building STURDEVANT HALL The gracious old Sturdevant Home, 129 S. Franklin St., was purchased from the heirs of Miss J essie Thomas Sturdevant, in the summer of 1952. John L. Butler sold the building to Rev. John Dorrance, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, in 1841. During this period, the building occupied the edifice now the Osterhout Library. Rev. Dr. Dorance lived there throug hout his ministry, 27 years, and upon his death, the property was acquired by Dr. Jesse Thomas and his wife. When Mrs. Thomas died at age 99, the home and lot passed to her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Sturdevant, mother of the late Miss Sturdevant. Sturdevant Hall presently houses the Education Department. Chase Hall, home of the late Fred M. Chase, was presented to Wilkes in 1937 by Rear Admiral Harold R. Stark as a m emorial to Mr. Chase and his wife, who was Admiral Stark's sister. The building was the first to be donated to the college, and at that time, Wilkes was 1 known as Buckn ell Junior College, being affiliated with Bucknell Uni- · versity. Chase Hall was first used as an Mr. Chase built this three story administration building, and in building about 1917.

HARDING HALL The Board of Trustees of Wilkes-College purchased the HardingResidence, 141 S. Franklin St., in 1954. Funds for the furnishings of th~ building were provided by Attorney Gilbert S. McClintocik, chairman of the Board, and Marian Murtin Winsor, granddaughter of Judge Harding. Judge Harding built this home over one hundred and seventy-nine years ago. The Harding Home is a landmark of Wyoming Valley. Glen Alden Property, Most Recent Harding Hall was first used as a snack -b ar for students and faculty. Today the building houses the college bookstore and a students' lounge. CAFETERIA The latest acquisition to Wilkes College is the Glen Alden Property, S. River St., which includes the 5story building, the adjoining President's home and a large parking lot. The purchase was made on May 6, 1958, through generous contributions including gifts from Albert A. List Foundation, Inc., and RKO Theatres Foundation. The Glen Alden Building was formerly the Lehigh & WilkesBarre Coal Company Offices. The building was erected on the former site of the old Wyoming Valley Hotel. The Glen Alden Building will be renamed Charles ,P arrish Hall and the adjoining building will be renamed Isaac Chapman Hall. Future plans call for Chapman Hall to be used as a girls' dormitory, and t entative plans for Parrish Hall may include the college finance offices, a snack bar, the bookstore, the Polish Room, and classrooms, perhaps the Commerce , and Finance Department. I In the fall of 1955, the extension to the cafeteria was completed, connecting with the former Kirby garage. Constructed of brick and steel, the new structure is 42 feet long and parallels the walk from the cafeteria entrance to the Kirby Hall library. The bottom level of the original cafeteria is used by dormitory students while the extension and the second floor are used by the day st u d e n t s. With the extension, about 500 to 550 students can be accomodated at one time. Large •p icture windows beautify the exterior and furnish ample light, while inside knotty pine paneling and colorful modernistic wall paper complete the attractive surroundings.

This building, which adjoins the former Lecture Hall, was named Harold R. Stark Hall, after Admiral Harold R. Stark, former local resident, now retired, in recognition of his extensive generosity and service to the college. Stark Hall is used by the Chemistry, Physics, and Biology Departments, providing ample facilities for laboratories, classrooms, and research. A greenhouse has been constructed on the roof. The three-story structure is located in the center of the campus, between West South and West Northampton Streets. �Friday, October 17, 1958 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 6 SPUDIS CAPTURES SECOND AWARD FOR FIERY PLAY,-· VERSATILITY 1/i,ae Tackle, Guard, End Positions Conquered By 'All-East' Athlete ovt From tackle to guard to end and watch out ,b ackfield, Frank Spudis is Athlete of the Week again. Last Saturday's game proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks, and very well, as newly converted end Spudis caught one pass for two points and snagged another to set up the Colonels for their second TD of the afternoon. Versatile Frank feels that the backfield might be a little more challenging for his varied and impressive talents. Last year Frank held down the tackle position, then when the season opened this year he switched his devastating bulk to tackle and then more glory came his way while playing offensive end for the Colonels. He might become the grid sport's first eleven position player as he worked out all week with the backfield. Too bad more fans didn't attend last Saturday's thriller at Kingston Stadium. The people who did go will carry with them the memory of a determined Wilkes squad going down under the 'burden of an injury-packed last quarter. The game was marred only slightly by a few of the miscalculations that are obvious only to us suppressed football coaches.

The Colonels had lost two contests previous to this win. The match was played on the loser's field at Staten I sland, New York. The extent of the offense can be determined by the fact that the Colonels took 32 shots at the losers' g oal while less than 12 shots wer e taken at the Wilkes g oal.

Definitely hungry for a win after last week's pulse-pounding near•miss, the Colonels will go into action tomorrow primed for battle even though there was some doubt at press time that the team's injuries were fully healed. Mike Dydo and Bob Yokavonus, co-captains, were banged around, but ,both seem to be about ready for action. Other injured men, notably quarterback Jay Kubicki and Ii n e m an Joe Stralka also suffered extensive pains and may not see action tomorrow. Ursinus has not fared too well this year, having lost a good many key men through graduation.

Whether or not the teams can continue to keep up the young tradition of spoiling each other's Homecoming weekends will depend on how well head coach Ray Gurzynski can overcome his shortage of experienced players. Local product Bob Allen of Scranton, a 6-2, 230-pound freshman tackle, is the heaviest man on the 175-pound average line. The Bruins will thus be the lightest squad to face the Colonels this year, another equalizing factor in coach Pinkowski's bid for his initial win.

These, added to the class total, produce a student total of $610. The faculty contributions have reached the total of $2500, according to latest reports, to increase the all-college total in the drive to $3110. NOTICE!

Wednesday night the Collegians will present the first full formal concert in the eight-year history of the chorus at Nanticoke High School. . The event will mark several "firsts" for the popular choral group as they embark on their most ambitious season. It will be the first unveiling of the new costume adopted by popular vote of the members. For the opening half of the program, the men will wear the familiar blue choral gowns as they perform their more serious music. After the intermission, they will be dressed in white coat sweaters on which will appear black, goldtrimmed, interlocked letters, "WC", and will wear dark charcoal slacks, white shirts and black knit ties. Another new feature for their concert format will be the incluDon Murray sion of a soloist.

BEAT LYCOMING! �2 WILKFS COIJ.EGE BEACON EDITORIALS - 'The Mighty Dollar' Even though the following is not the opinion shared by the whole editorial staff, we feel that it cannot be thrust aside without comment. We refer to the United Fund story: the "drive is scheduled to end next Wednesday with little more than fifty per cent of the student total of $1200 reached .... " It has been pointed out to us that without the aid of various clubs and the proceeds from the United Fund Dance the student total would be even more insignificant. What's wrong??? Is one dollar too huge a sum to part with? Are we a bunch of paupers, or are we just plain stingy? We realize that many students contribute to the United Fund through a place of employment; yet, $378 is hardly representative of the remaining students. Certainly if everyone who is able to participate would participate, the showing would be better. If you haven't been contacted by canvassers, just don't sit back; Give! There is still time to meet our goal if we want to meet it. Fortunately, our faculty does not find giving to a worthy cause such an ordeal. United Fund is the One Drive per year on campus. Let's help our neighbors of Wyoming Valley and obliteraie the red faces we should be wearing for such a poor response. JLE Can't Compete The decorations are down, and the trophy is safely locked away in the confines of Gore Hall - where it belongs. The men of Gore had a beautiful display - for about ten minutes. Lights flashed, horses ran all over the lawn and people shot at each other in violent activity. But then the judges left, and so did the men of Gore, leaving the display as dead as last week's Beacon. We have no personal complaint about the final decision of the -judges, we merely wonder how the women's organizations on campus are expected to compete with such intricate wonders of engineering. Not many of the girls can hook up a rocket takeoff, complete with lights and moving Colonels, nor can they be expected to construct a moving football supporting the figure of a Colonel. Girls just don't have that much engineering talent. . We humbly suggest that two trophies be purchased for Homecoming next year - one for the displays put up by the predominantly male organizations and the other for the women's organizations. We have checked back into our musty files of Beacons and have been unable to come up with one story that mentions the fact that a girls' dorm or organization won the trophy or even an honorable mention in the annual display contest. This can be discouraging to the eager bevy of girls who troop to the roof each year with hopes high. We hope the Alumni Association will consider this suggestion and act before the women lose interest and do not bother to put up displays again. mjk Strike Up the Band! No doubt about it, the 1958 Homecoming weekend was a smashing success. The decorations were inspiring, the caravan impressive, the Royal party attractive, the football game a win, and the parties something to be remembered for some time to come. One of the best examples of the overall enthusiasm concerning the two-day celebration was shown by the band. This fine group, always ready and willing to boost any event, outdid itself last week. Without any great deal of practice time, they gathered at the field at 10:00 a.m. and by game-time had worked up a marching routine worthy of "Big Ten" bands. Their rendition of the popular "76 Trombones" was flawlessly executed. Bob Moran and his stalwarts will, we hope, take the hint offered by the appreciative applause and repeat this performance at a future game. Additional praise is due Russ Picton for his chairmanship of the whole affair as well as to Bob Morris, student chairman for the gala weekend. On behalf of all of us who had duties directed by these two, our heartfelt thanks for a job superlatively done.

This win evens the Wilkes team's record at 2-and-2 for all, the Colonels had 37 shots at this season and gives them a second-place berth in the league the Hofstra goal. standings. For the first time this season The game was played under a fair sky and from the start the Colonels forward wall put the pressure on the Hofstra goalie. This was the reverse of the pattern of play that had been bothering the Colonels, for in past games the Blue and Gold had been on defense most of the time. The inability of the Dutchman goalie and fullbacks to cope with the power of the Colonels was evident throughout the game. Carl Havira, Len Franckowiak, Nick Giordano, Lou Zwiebel and Ivan Pappanicholas started for the Blue and Gold with Havira, Giordano and rP appanicholas featured in the scoring, with Giordano getting three, one on a penalty shot. In Booters Represented In "Athlete" Honors by Star Center Forward the Wilkes team was unscored upon, and the credit goes to goalie Bob Payne, who did a fin e job all afternoon.

The prolific scoring center forward punctured the Hofstra goal with three big points. He scored twice from scrimmage and once with a a penalty shot. The first score was made with a head shot. The Flying Dutchmen, always one of the stiffest soccer competitors in the East, have been dumped by the underdog Colonels for the past five successive years. Four of these years Nick has been one of the short fuses that has exploded in the face of this powerful Hofstra team. Nick is not new to the "Athlete of the Week" award as this is the sixth time in his four years at Wilkes that he has gained this coveted award. He has also won honorable mention for the AllMiddle Atlantic squad in previous years. He first saw a soccer ball at an age when most American boys are still playing with marbles, for he was born in Italy, where soccer is one of the national pastimes. Nick attended high school in Naples, but graduated from Kingston High School in 1955 where he lettered on the track team. He is a 21 year old senior majoring in Biology and plans to attend medical school. I Sports Schedule FOOTBALL 0-Wilkes .......... Ithaca-27 0-Wilkes .. Leh. Val.-12 8-Wilkes .

A satisfied throng of some two thousand cheered lustily as they witnessed the first Homecoming win in five years, and the first entry by the Colonels into the winning colunro: since Coach Pinkowski took over the reins.

Eller carried four times for eight yards. Following Eller's TD effort late in the second quarter, the two teams fought to a standstill. Near the end of the game the Griz·zlies threatened twice, but a determined Colonel line held beautifully once on the three, then pushed the Bears back to the ten to thwart another drive. The Colonels completed four of eight passes, one a 49-yard thriller from Michaels to Ray Marchakaitis, and registered 176 yards total offense, 101 by rushing.

In the larger metropolitan areas of the country, particularly here on the eastern seaboard, soccer is a well-known game and there are organized professional teams and leagues in New York and Philadelphia. In Europe, the sport is comparable to baseball, our national sport; but to the Europeans soccer is somewhat of a passion and a. national gam e with which everyone is familiar. It is not uncommon for a single game to draw crowds of 100,000 or more and there is a stadium in Moscow capable of holding 120,000 people with ease. In South America, soccer is followed with a somewhat more zealous and often violent interest. Rfots are commonplace and gunfire is expected at championship matches. During the international championship matches this past year, the government offices in Bra~il were ordered closed and boarded because the government officials feared the soccer-induced enthusiasm would boil over into the streets and have its political implications. The continent of Africa is not without it. There is one native tribe which plays a crude version of the game using a human skull as a ball. Here in the United States soccer is rapidly gaining in popularity, more and more colleges and high schools are adopting it as a varsity sport.

The results have brought many smiles and sighs. As for the statistics, they run this way: First prize for the Homecoming display went to Gore Hall for their production of "The Ursinus Massacre." Those who viewed this display had no doubt that the men of Gore would win. Second prize in this section went to the ,B iology Club for their creation, "Bowl Them Over." A lot of hard work on the part of the members of the !Biology Club went into this display. Third prize was awarded to the Junior Class for the surrey they had on display behind the library. This showed a touch of originality and color on the part of the juniors. The prize for the best decorated car that took nart in the car caravan on Saturday, October 18, was presented to Hugh Gladstone, a sophomore. His theme was "Pink Toyland." The Lettermen also announced the winners of their raffle. The first prize was a choice between two tickets to the "Music Man" in New York, or two tickets to the Army-Navy football game. This was won by John Harvey, a senior. Second prize was the remaining pair of tickets and this was won by G. Linko. There were three tm,keys given away as prizes. These were won by William Zdancewicz, Marie Opsitos, and Earl Harvey.

I Document Faces Test; Nominees Will Speak At Tuesday's Assembly by Jim Eidam The meeting, which was attended by forty -three leaders, was presided over by Bob Morris, Student Council president. Morris announced that the Student Council had appointed Gordon Roberts to make the evaluation. Members of the student body of Wilkes College will elect their class officers, student government members, and will decide whether or not the constitutional revisions go into effect at elections Wednesday. Chase Theatre will be the scene of the voting activity from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. During the meeting th e student leaders were given questionnaires containing the following questions: 1. What in your opinion consti- tutes an honor system ? Since the frosh did not nominate their slates of officers with the upperclassmen, they held a special meeting in the gym Monday for nominations. Freshman advisers along with student council members Barbara Federer, George Reynolds, and Frank Steck, attended the meeting in an advisory capacity. 2.

How many of us are going to trouble ourselves enough to go to Chase Theatre and vote for the candidates of our choice? How many of us will take the time to consider the pros and cons of the proposed constitutional changes? Obviously, the situation confronting most organizations on campus confronts our class leaders, as well. The 'situation' we refer to is known as "apathy". It was recently demonstrated at senior class meeting when some individuals wondered why there is an organization called the student council. The same apathy has made it necessary to hold class meetings with compulsory attendance - not enough persons bother to attend the regular meetings; not enough persons bother to inform themselves of what is going on in THEIR school. So, if you can possibly spare five minutes on Wednesday, YOUR vote for the fellow classmate of YOUR choice will be appreciated. - JLE Same Old Song and Dance Tonight we again have before us one of the "usual Friday night sport dances" that have suddenly become the rage on campus. The "usual" invariably consists of, ONE, an admission price - always known three weeks in advance. TWO, a bandthe name of which is never known for sure until the Wednesday immediately preceding the dance. THREE, a publicity director who comes tearing up to our office late Tuesday evening w ith the above mentioned information and a list containing the names of three hundred committee members. The publicity chairman wants, in the order mentioned, the headlines, preferably page one; a full column of details, if possible the story should run over to pages three and four; and last, but not least, his or her picture on the front page. We are not "picking on" any one particular club, all the organizations who have held dances this semester are at fault as we see it. If we may be so bold as to ask, what in the world has happened to the good old intermission program complete with gimmicks? And while we are at it, has the price of a roll of crepe paper gone up again? To our sometimes oversensitive feelings, this looks like a definite lack of interest and planning on the part of the clubs that have held dances this semester. The general feeling seems to be "just open the gym and everyone will flock to the lights". Perhaps they will for a while, but people will soon get sick of the "usual" and consequently clubs with later dates on the calendar will suffer. We have tried to publish good long stories in this paper, but a story can be padded only to a certain extent. We want to help you with your publicity, so just don't sit there, get up and do a little work that will attract our readers' attention. -mjk CLUB CO-OPERATION IS GOAL OF CONFERENCES by Jean Shofranko Everyone knows that a co-operative effort put forth by all concerned individuals is sure to lead to better results. With this in mind the student leaders of campus organizations held the first in a series of Student Leaders' Conferences last week. Rob ert Morris, President of the Student Council, explained th e purf th f t th e poses O e con er e~ce ~ 111 forty-thr ee representatives att endance. The main purpose of th ese conferences is to provide the officials of th e many campus clubs with an opportunity to becom e better acquainted. The second obj ective is to advise these officials of current Student Council policies. The final purpose is to enable each officer of a club to disc uss his program policies and problem s with his a ssociates. Morris stated that clubs can achiev e success in acti vities through the use of financial reports and through filing reports for fu - ture r eference. H e added that th e lack o~ a c~ive p_articipatio_n in m~ny organizations 1s due to meffect1ve planning. H e advised th e stud ent leaders to use careful judgement in planning meetings in order to attain smooth, effici ent organizations . The purpos es and fun ctions of the Amincola, The School Spirit Committee, The Student Assembly Committee, a nd the Beacon w er e explained by th e officers of th ese orga ni zations.

Collegians Plan Formal Concert Ensemble Change Wilkes College's musical ambassadors of good will, the Collegians, are rapidly rounding out their Fall program in preparation for several important engagem ents. Under the baton of their new director, Bill P eters, the choristers are planning to present the fir st full formal concert in th e eightyear history of the group. This concert will be on W edn esday, October 29, at Nanticoke High School, and is sponsored by the Baptist Men 's gro-up of that city. Several short performances as warm-ups are scheduled prior to the concert date. The first of these will be Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., when the men will sing at the gymnasium as part of the entertainment for the Parent's Day program. On Friday night, they will sing at th e intermission of the United Fund Dance at the gym. Membership in the chorus is now at an all-time high of 41 voices . The men practice daily during their lunch time and are even scheduling night reh earsals in order to work their r epertoire up to concert pitch. New Uniforms Planned The first major change in uniform is w ell beyond the planning stage . This year's chorus, in concerts of full -scale size, will w ea r t wo costumes. For the sacred and serious numb ers, blue rob es will be worn. In the s econd part of th e show, th e new uniform will be u sed. White coat-s weaters with black , gold-trimmed "WC" embl e ms w ill be part of th e new look. White shirts, black knit ties, and charcoal slacks compl et e the ens emble. Reasons advanced for the change are that the interlocked initials will represent both th e Colleg e and the chorus, and that the overall effect w ill give the chorus a more " collegiate" appearance. In k eeping with the other inno vations, the format of the concerts has al so been slightly r evamped. President Dick Myers will act a s master of ceremonies, reli eving the director of the distracting task of introducing th e numbers.

'................................... l THE ROVING CHIMERA f ~ by Fred Roberts The United States, as of September 30, finds herself at the very questionable mercies of the Red Chinese and of her own allies, the Nationalists, in the Formosa Straits. If Dulles' gamble is not called and a war does not break out, our blunder could paradoxically be a good thing. At least our basic Far Eastern policy in regard to Nationalist China will be subjected to reevaluation - despite the administration's accusations of treason. Chiang Kai- sh ek would like to con tinue his garrisons on the Quemoys and Matsu beca use these islands have effectively blockaded the Red ports of Amoy and Foochow. He also professes to hope that they will serve as stepping stones for his r eturn to the mainland. They are of more immediate import too, because th eir loss might unsettle his r egime on Taiwan. But they are also useful to -Chiang as pawns in drawing th e U.S. into closer s upport of Nationalist aims. If th e U.S. 7th fle et became militarily involved with Red China by attempting to run the bloc-k ad e of Chinese artillery or by aiding th e Nationalist air force in silencing th e Red g un emplacements, or even to bail ·Chian g out afte r a misst ep, Chiang could r eturn to th e mainla nd on the wings of the U.S. eagle. Chia ng expects too much when he a sks us to help defe nd these r eall y insignificant islands at th e r isk of war. The r eds ha ve nothing to lose in maintaining th eir blockad e because we almost surely would not a ttack th e m unl ess they make othe r aggressive mo ves ; so t he islands wi ll eventuall y ha ve to be g iven up . The Warsaw talks th er efore are foredoom ed unl ess we offer something s ubstantia l in r eturn for a cease fir e. Call it appea sement if that term is still valid in thi s nucl ear era, but do not cite Munich to shut off arg um ent, beca use there is little similarity. It is only so und s trategy to meet Communist cha!lenges from so und positions. As an immediate solution to t his s ituation, I s uggest that we agree to forc e Chiang out of Quemoy and Matsu. In return for his withdrawal we would r enew our pledge of mutual defense with Formosa and offer increased aid. We would also promise Red China recognition, a seat in the U .N., and eventual membership on Security Council if she stops her aggressive acts in straits and agrees to an extended cease fire. If she does not a ccept, we will have to continue aiding Chian g in supplying the islands, but we must at all costs ikeep him from attacking the mainland. By becoming a party to U.N. obligation s, th e Red Chinese a ctions would be subject to world debate and censure and th e Reds wou ld lose their 'biggest talkin g point in Asia. She would also be s ubj ect to decisive issues raised by th e West in th e U.N. to separate he1· from th e Soviet and to incr ea sed trad e loosenin g h er dependence on her Communi st a ll y. Ther e is no ess ential moral principl e involved. The isla nds are indefe nsibl e military outpost s h eld by one s ide in a continuing civil war. We ar e not committed to th eir def ense unl ess t hey are deemed vital to Formosan defense, and w e gave up th e Tachens in 1955 under t he sam e condition s. Our presti ge in As ia, .moreover, would probably incr ease a s we yield an unsound pos ition with courage. W e would not lose an ally because Chiang coul d not exist with out us . Recog nition is a r eali sti c acceptance of an a ccompli shed fact; the Reds have entrench ed th emselves on the mainla nd, in fact, abetted by Nationalist s' threats and U.S. hostility, and non-recognition has certainl y not noti ceably weak ened them. It is tim e to retreat from stubborn pos itions to lines which can be defended by the whole Free World. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ... Ed Club Dance - Gymnasium, Tonig ht, 9:00-12 :00.

Miss Federer told the conference that the lack of information about these forms was the cause of th e frequent violations of thes e rul es. These rules were not laid down by the student body, but w ere handed down by the administration. Until now there have been penalti es imposed for failure to comply with them. However, this year, the penalties retained from last year were considered too harsh and were dropped. No definite action can be taken by the Student Government until it is certain that everyone is familiar with the rules which state that a report of any event being planned must be submitted two weeks prior to the date on which it is to take place. Indications are that a report will be made to Student Government in approximately one month, after which a similar report will be made to representatives of every club on campus to acquaint them with the rules and penalties decided upon.

There was plenty of courag e s ho wn both and off the field as the Colonels faced rugged playing conditions, while three ultra-lo yal fans stood behind them in the driving rain a nd cheered th em on. The game, reflecting th e impossible conditions, was marred by a total of twenty-four fumbles of the sodden pigskin. Thirteen of these were recov ered; six by Wilkes and seven by Vall ey. Runners were ta ckl ed repeatedly because th ey were unable to get going on the gooey s urface, and line play was slow and sluggish. Th e Colonels had a touchdown call ed back when a Spudis-blocked pu nt was grabbed and carried into the end zone by Mike Dydo; there was a penalty against Wilkes, nullifying the score. Later in th e game, the Colonels lost a heart-brea·king scoring op portunity when they fumbled on first down, kno ciking on the touchdo wn door on the Valley three-yard stripe. Rugged line play by Spudis, who blocked two punts and recovered two fum bles, in addition to some fine backfield work by Tom Kriselevicz, Ja y Kubicki, Ray Yanchus, Marv Antinnes, and Bill Michaels kept the Colonels in the game. Of particular value was the uncanny punting of Bill Michaels, this week's w inner of the Beacon Athlete of the Week award. - • SPALDING-RAWLINGS and WILSON Distributors Reversible Wool Jackets With WILKES LetterlDg LEWIS-DUNCAN SPORTING GOODS 11 E.

The Rov~g Mi~e assembly fell flat on its face last Tuesday. The usually mterestmg and informative session just couldn't get ~ff the ground. Some of the answers given seemed to us to be little more than beautiful examples of evasion and hedging. Almost every time a question was asked, the answerer began his response by saying that he was "not really an expert on this, ~ut ... " If these people are not the 'experts' on all campus questions, who is? Why weren't the 'experts' up there on the stage where they could answer the honest and well meaning queries asked by an expectant student body? As was the case in past years, several pertinent questions concerning the finance office were asked, but the comptroller was not at assembly - she had not been asked to be there. As a ~esult of this, Mr. Whitby was put on the griddle and made a valiant attempt to answer, as best he could, questions conc7rning the finan':e office. These questions were evidently dll'ected at Mr. Whitby because of the proximity of his office to the con:iptroller's: but we doubt very much that Mr. Whitby makes it a practice to eavesdrop on the conversations carried on in the finance office and therefore he may not be entirely up to date on the plans of that department. VUJICA, HOOVER, AND PICTON NAMED TO COURT OF APPEALS Letters To The Editor: Editor of the Beacon Wilkes ,College Wilkes-1Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Madam Editor: Because I have served on the board of directors of the Georgetown Settlement House for mo·r e than fifteen years and am closest to the work of that institution, the success of the United Fund's current campaign was especially gratifying. The effort gladly put forth by the thousands of workers was characterized by an infectious enthusiasm and a rewarding esprit de corps both of which helped to assure the sixty agencies of more than minimal support for the year, 1960. I am indeed proud to have Wilkes College subscribe its fair share of the total amount raised. Coming after the United Fund's best campaign in years was the offer of Clifford Brothers to contribute five dollars directly to an organization. I want everyone to know how deeply touched I am by this spontaneous and entirely unsolicited donation on the part of Mr. ,Brothers and although he has not specified the G e o r g e t o w n Settlement House as the agency to which he wishes to give directly, I suspect he knows of my connection and I shall be pleased to accept his gift in the name of the settlement house. I can also assure him that the directors are more than pleased to see that the youth of America recognize creeping socialism and are ready to fight it by assuming personal responsibility for the welfare of others by giving freely of their time, talent, and money. Respectfully, Chas. Reif THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION . yve were utt~rly amazed at the response given to a perfectly le~ihmate question concerning the food situation in the cafetena. The general attitude of those 'in the know' seems to be one bordering on the 'that's the way the ball bounces' stand. v_Je are reasonably sure that every member of the administration who ~as on the platform for T1;1esday's assembly knew that the question of the dorm students diet would be raised. Unfortunately none of these officials saw fit to prepare a satisfactory answer to the question. We feel that there is an answer to this problem somewhere, but_ as yet no one has attempted to provide this answer to the resident students. Perhaps the cost of one meal is an irrelevant fact when Jt is considered by a person who is not paying for the meals or, for that matter, eating them - either. But, to the students who are ~aying and eating, this is a relevant point. If ~he explanation can be given in mathematical figures, these fi~ures should not o~ly be given, but they should be acc~pamed by an explanation of how the figures are arrived at. To J~t state that _one meal costs 40 cents is fine - it means nothing to th~ ordmary student. We admit that we know little about the _pnce food when it is bought in quantity, and we h~ve the lDlpression that we are not a minority when we say this.

Named to this group are two faculty members: Mr. Arthur Hoover and Dr. Stanko Vujica; an administrative member, Mr . .Russ Picton; and two students, Fred Roberts and George Reynolds, who were named at the October 21 meeting. Carl Zoolkoski, chairman of the Thanksgiving All-College Dance, reported that a band is being contacted through help of Bob Mo1·an. It was reported that there will be a charge for refreshments to help defray expenses, but that, as usual, there will be no admission charge to this aff'air. In discussion of the Intercollegiate Conference Fund, which is to provide aid for organizations participating in such conferences, the group accepted the plan that financial assistance may not exceed $125 to any one group. A group which is using this fund may request $10 per person or half of total costs. Whichever figure is smaller will be acceptable, so long as it is $125 or less_ Gordon Roberts reported that the United Fund report in last week's Beacon was not the final report; student contributions were much greater than those listed in the paper_ A complete report will be made at a later date. I by Fred Roberts Now that all the political tub-thumping is over, it seems relevant to make a few comments on the state campaign since we saw a good sample of it here on campus. Unfortunately neither party nominated its best candidate for governor, but for the Republicans the choice was more disastrous. On the other hand, both nominees for senator were extremely attractive; young sincere, liberal Governor Leader against experienced, intelligent, hard - campaigning Congressman Scott. The governor's contest became one of isolated issues and party loyalty rather than personality and plaforms. Neither candidate really caught fire, but Lawrence was a more competent campaigner. In general the Democrats tried to campaign on the 'Lawrence-Leader record and on the lack of national leadership by a Republican president - especially in bringing back full employment to Pennsylvania and in formulating a successful foreign policy. The Republicans found these issues rather unattractive, and they tried to turn voter attention to the wage or sales tax, bossism, and Democratic inefficiency in government. This, of course, was legitimate politics, but then the Republica_ns Jed by Scott began running scared, and the innuendos and unproved charges began to circulate. relatively clear despite the usual beclouding. Some form of new tax is necessary if we want the state to provide large-scale social services. The Democrats were charged by the Republicans with intending to push through a wage tax. They backed away from the issue, but the fact is that the Democrats will be mor~ prone to accept new taxes, as Governor Leader had to, in order to meet state debts. Unemployment is a serious prob!em here in Pennsylvania and would have been whether or not Eisenhower were in the White House or Leader in Harrisburg. The Democrats will probably have government take more positive action than the Republicans. As for efficiency, corruption, and waste, the candidates, all -b eing partyoriented, leave little to choose. The Republicans, when they were in, gave us as much bungling and bad politics as they charge the Democrats with. The local Republican handling of the gambling indictments is typical.

Dear Madam Editor: The purpose of this letter is to communicate my sincere "thanks" to the many students of Wilkes, and to the campus organizations who helped this year with our student United Fund appeal. It was a pleasure working with them. Dr. Reif and I wish to extend our appreciation to those who conducted the solicitation and to those who responded. Working for such a worthwhile cause is a privilege. I was happy to be asked to handle this job, and, in so doing, it became for the discharge of a pleasant duty. Many of us are aware of the tremendous good that is done by the United Fund.

It was a team victory · with everyone contributing to a powerful offense and a rock-ribbed defense. The Colonels' center forward, Nick Giordano, led the team in scoring, collecting three goals for his afternoon's work. Evan Pappanicholas and !Len Franckowiak each contributed one more goal to the Colonel total.

The Williamsport school is going through the efforts of establishing soccer as a fall sport and despite last year's 4-0 loss to the Colonels, they are by no means to be underestimated. Last year's Lycoming team is returning almost intact after a fairly successful season. Included in the team roster are a lot of converted football players who play a rough and tumble style soccer game.

So far this season, the opposition has scored nine goals compared to twenty-one netted by Wilkes.

Three games, all against Conference teams, remain in the season. The excellent play of the backfield and the continued fine performance of goalie Bob Payne, coupled with the great line play of Nick Giordano et al, is responsible for this statistical advantage. Next Wednesday, the team travels to Philadelphia to play Philadelphia Textile Institute and on Saturday, November 22, they return home for the final game of the season against Bucknell University. 2-Wilkes 0-Wilkes 4-Wilkes 5-Wilkes 4-Wilkes 0-Wilkes 5-Wilkes SOCCER ..

GERA, CALVIN FREEMAN APPOINTED TO TEACH HERE One of the many new instructors at Wilkes this year is Mr. Calvin Freeman. Mr. Freeman is now teaching in the Biology and Chemistry Deparbnents. __He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He spent two years in the University of Amsterdam in Holland and five months in the University of Barcelona in Spain, . Mr. Freeman received his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia and later his M.S. degree at University of Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman are formerly of Philadelphia and are presently residing at 26 W. Ross St., Wilkes-Barre. They h a v e announced their first addition to their family in the latter part of September. Mr. Freeman said that he is quite pleased with his first teaching position here at Wilkes, and especially admires the friendly attitude displayed by the faculty as well as the students. One of the college's newest teachers is Mr. George Gera, who teaches in the Commerce and Finance department. He is from Eckley, Pennsylvania, a small town near Hazleton. He received his ba.c helor's degree from the Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1949 and his master's degree from the Columbia University in 1951.

Mr. Gera is particularly interested in the field of personnel problem's of business administration. He considers his post at Wilkes a new challenge in that it is his first at a small college. He is in favor of the small classes at Wilkes, which tend to improve the relations between the teacher and the students, and aid in improving the relationship of the college with the community. CJIEERLEADERS GET NEW UNIFORMS Thanks to the efforts of the Athletic Director, Mr. Ralston, and the Dean of Women, Mrs. Doane, the Wilkes cheerleaders are getting new uniforms. The new outfits will consist of blue and gold gabardine skirts and blue vests. The skirts, which will be the gored type with gold inserts, will be longer and fuller than those of the old uniforms. White or gold blouses will complete the outfit. The uniforms are expected to arrive ~ithin the next two weeks, ~o, w1_th luck, ,,our gals may be , s,p ortmg them on November 15 at the Wilkes-Scranton game. .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - QUALITY Debut of Henrietta II Special Dance Feature At the 'Junior Birdland' by Steve Cooney Henrietta II will make her debut on campus on the night of November 21, 1958, at the Junior Class Dance. Henrietta II is the successor to Henrietta I, the proud lady turkey that was given away last year by the then sophomore class at their annual Thanksgiving Dance. The response to the idea was so tremendous that the juniors have decided to offer a turkey as doorprize once again this year. The theme for the affair will be "The Junior Birdland," and Herbie Green and his eight-piece orchestra will provide the music for the evening. General chairman Lynne Boyle has announced that the admission price will be 69 cents for the dance. IFavors will be given to everyone in attendance. Chairmen of the individual committees are the following : Band, Allyn Jones ; 1·efreshments, Betty George; tickets, Jim Stevens; planning, George Reynolds; decorations, Paul Klein. Publicity chairman Bob Beneski announced that a long-time problem of Wilkes dances will be solved at the "Junior J3irdland." He mentioned that everyone is always complaining about the crowds huddling at the door, but no one ever does anything about it. But the Junior Dance will feature decorations arranged in such a way that it will be impossible to crowd the door. Friday, November 7, 1958 by Florence Gallagher On Wednesday, -October 29, practice began for the girls' basketball team, the Colonelettes. Only a few girls ventured onto the floor for the initial practice but on Monday, November 3, the ranks were swelled by an influx of aspirants. The fr e s h m a n and sophomore classes are well represented, but there are many openings for members of the junior and senior classes still going begging. Membership is open to all girls who have the desire to combine fun with building friendships and the feeling of good sportsmanship through the game. (Ed. Note: It's also a good way to get your shape into shape let's go ladies!) The Wilkes students and faculty would be proud if the girls' team were a good one. The Colonelettes can be a winning team if the girls of Wilkes support it by their spirit and interest. Practice will be held on Mondays at 3 o'clock and Wednesdays at 4 o'clock. All interested girls are urged to attend these practices and try out for the team. e A Varied Menu Superb Drinks at Expert Clolhl• 9 E.

As you can tell by its moniker, the dance will center its theme around Ye Olde Dogpatch. This was chosen because of the nearness of Sadie Hawkins' Day, an occasion which deserves to be well celebrated around Wilkes. The intermission entertainment includes a sack race and an eggthrowing contest (in traditional Dogpatch style). Also, a mysterious personage who has been bewildering Wilkes students for over a week will be revealed at that time. Some lucky person with the right ticket number will win a door pdze. Those are all the vital statistics, now here are some of the details. Dick Kniffen is general chairman of the affair. Working with him are Sandy Ungar and Skip Gladstone, co-chairmen of publicity; Peggy Kratz, chairman of decorations; Bill Davis, chairman of ticket sales; Nick Gatto and Jane Jablonski, co-chairmen of refreshments; Elizabeth Cobourn, chairman of intermission entertainment; and Barry Yocum, chairman of clean-up. The dress will be sporty, but if any hardy souls want to make -up something "Daisy Mae- or Little Abner-ish", go right ahead. At any rate, come to the dance and bring your friends.
