At the beginning of the year the old topic of an honor system reared its head and galloped fleetingly across the pages of the Beacon. The story was given the headline on page one simply because we thought that there might have been some feeli~g. pro or con, about the idea. We even suggested that opinions be expressed via the Letter to the Editor column. But, as usual, there was no response to this rather interesting and controversial question. . The so-called Student Leaders didn't show a tremendous amount of interest either, as only about one half of the questionnaires distributed to this esteemed group have been returned to the Student Government Committee. We wonder what would happen if the committee in charge of evaluating the system recommended that it be adopted. If they did this, and if the suggestion were passed into law - so to speak - the turmoil would be tremendous. Everyone would either be screaming or cheering, the Letter to the Editor section would overflow with complaints and compliments, and the Commons' walls would quiver and shake with gusts of wind emitted with the lusty bellows of those stung. The point is, to get any opm1on from anyone on campus you almost have to do something earthshaking like sticking students with pins, or passing a rule without consulting each and every person. We, however, will never let an opportunity to sound off go by. We waited for a full month before we decided to force our opinions on the student body. We had hopes of being able to get in the last word; however, if we must first, that's all right too. Up until May of last year we wouldn't even have considered an Honor System a sane idea, but after finals last spring, we changed our minds fast. The cheating at the annual 'Lap Board Party' was the rule rather than the exception. We discovered that we were not the only one to see the mass departure from honesty, many others commented on it also. With an Honor System, students who see cheating can report it and. have their statements listened to. Under the system we have now, you almost have to have a picture of the crime being committed before the authorities will consider your complaint. This is natural under our present system, we have proctors and they are supposed to be the only viewers of cheating. But we would like to see how four or five faculty members can possibly cover the massive gym effectively enough to see all. They just can't do it - nor should they have to. Four Wilkes Students Passed State Board Nursing-Examinations by Jean Shofranko F our junior Nursing Education majors, listed below, w ere notified recently that they have passed their State Board Nursing Examinations which were held September 26 and 27 in Harrisburg. Ruth Naomi Volansky , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Volansky, 133 Nicholson Street, Wilkes-Barre, is a graduate of Wilkes-Barre Township High School. She r eceived her training at the N esbitt Memorial Hos pital School of Nursing. She is a member of TDR and the Biology Club. Augusta Monica Sidar i, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Sidari, 521 N orth Wyoming Street, Hazleton, is a r esident of McCli ntock Hall. She is a graduate of Hazleton High School and the Hazleton State Hospital School of Nursing. She, al so, is an active m ember of TDR. Joyce Marie Mascari, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mascari, 128 .East Walnut Street, Kingston, is a graduate of St. Ann's Academy, Wilkes-Barre, and St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing, Reading . Miss Mascari is a member of TDR. Beverly Ann Butler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Butler, 232 Inman Park, Wilkes-Barre, is a graduate of Hanover Township High School and the N esbitt Memor ial Hospital School of Nursing. She is a member of the Junior Class Council, TDR, and the Biology Club. The State Board Examinations which are composed of a series of five tests in the major fields of nursing are formulated by the National League for Nursing. They are administered to all nursing aspirants in order to determine the ability and knowledge which the graduate nurse has accumulated in three years of training. Only by passing these tests can one become a r egister ed professional nurse. LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO PLAN TAX CLINIC Perhaps it is the general feeling that the cheater has to live with himself and his conscience - so why be bothered? This is fine - if you don't happen to be one of the unlucky students in a class where the 'curve' marking system is used.

No Politics, ·Please After some heated debating Tuesday night, the Student Government voted to send congratulatory messages to the winning candidates who spoke at the college during the recent campaign.

It is not their place to do this, nor will it ever be their place to stop the practice when it gets out of hand, and it will get out of hand eventually. mjk Give, or Take? The JC's drive to get gifts for the patients at Retreat Hospital has gotten tremendous response on campus this year. People are so interested in what is being donated that they have stolen a collection box from Stark Hall in order to inspect the articles more closely. Not only has the collection box been pilfered from the science building, but some cold-headed and cold-hearted person has also 'borrowed' a scarf from the box in the Library. This drive is for a worthy cause, you are supposed to GIVE to it, not take from it. If some of you are in such desperate need, we suggest that you apply to some relief organization for help. You have a chance to apply, the people at Retreat don't have this opportunity, they have to rely on the donations of the student body. Let's start giving a little - the JC's don't expect you to donate everything you own, just the things that you don't need. mjk -------------------------' WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

On November 10th, the Retailing Merchandise classes toured the Lynn Organization, an advertising concern located in the Brooks Building on South Franklin Street. The Lynn Organization, which is a million dollar concern, is primarily connected with manufactured products, such as Wise Potato Chips, Purvin Dairy, Quinlan Pretzels, etc. Mr. Matt Field and Mr. Donald Smith, creative directors of the organization, conducted a question and answer period for the group, which was headed by Mr. Ronald Michman, head of the Retailing Department. The group was shown the various departments in the advertising structure of the organization. For each department, the group was told how that one particular department was directly related to each of the other departments. Similar field trips are planned in the future for the Retail Merchandising classes and for anyone interested in the field of retailing, whether they take retailing courses or not.

The meeting was opened with delivery of the "62 Salute" by Dr. Charles Reif, class sporn,or. President Vic Turoski presided . and asked for suggestions on how to dispose of treasury funds. A .plan was suggested which would channel the money into a scholarship fund to be set up by the class. A definite decision will be made later in the year. Rhea Politis and Mike Bianco gave a report on student government activities concerning freshmen. The class approved with a show of hands the choice of Pocono Mountain Inn as a site for the Winter Carnival. Dr. Reif praised the class for its fine organization and warned against participation in too many extra-curriculars. He also mentioned preparing for mid-years. After adjournment, the class hurried en masse to sign up for having their pictures taken. JUNIOR CLASS At Tuesday's meeting of the junior class, members were urged to support the ticket committee's sales program for tonight's Junior Birdland Dance. Class president John Mulhall promised some unusual "gimmicks" for those in attendance. Plans for a hayride were shelved until after the Christmas holidays, and plans for a class scrapbook will be investigated. Bob Washburn, Student Government representative, will propose that alteration suggestions on final exams procedures be made by the Council. "I have a woman boss." "I'm married too."

The Sophomore Executive Council will decide to which organization the money made by the public service project will be donated. Jim Skesavage, Chuck Sorber, and Betsy Hoeschele were nominated of Student Government representatives to take the place of Nick Gatto who has left school. The. voting on this new representative will take pla'ce on Monday at Chase Theater between 10:50 and 1 o'clock. SENIOR CLASS The senior class held its second compulsory class meeting Tuesday morning in the gym with President Rodger Lewis presiding. A final report on United Fund contributions by the class was made, and it was disclosed that approximately 68 per cent of the class gave contributions. Under new business, the class Christmas dance was discussed. The dance will be held on December 19, and Al Anderson's band will provide the music. Lewis stressed sending of personal letters to stu,dents in other schools to inform them of the dance. Plans for an informal party for the January graduates are being formulated under the leadership of Reginald Mattioli. Announcement was also made that at the January 8 meeting, nominations will be held to fill Bob Morris' seat in Student Government. It was announced that a suggestion box has been placed in the Library to collect class suggestions for a class gift to the college. The next class meeting will be December 11. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ••••• ♦• ROVING CHIMER ~-\ ~f ► by Fred Roberts Our allies will inevitably feel less Secretary of Defense McElroy, at his news conference last week, secure in their reliance on us for made it clear that budget considera- military help to equal Russian tions in the Wilson vein are still might in a crisis.

Sixty-minute man Dydo was selected as an outstanding example of determination, endurance, and rugged line play. Mike's qualities on the grid field bring to light all of the good characteristics that should be incorporated in a ball player. The proper combination of aggressiveness and defensive prowess isn't found too often in small college ball, but Dydo's ' abilities would place him on the first string of colleges much larger than Wilkes. The Scranton U. game was just one more test for the 60-minute man, who found this hour test of endurance to be a weekly occurence. The Scranton Royals made a relatively large amount of yardage against the undermanned Colonels, but they did not make it through the tackle position. Mike has had this position 'sewn' up for practically the whole four seasons he has played Colonel ball. The 185-pound guard played his last football game for the Blue and Gold Saturday, but should show us some more sparkle on the baseball diamond next spring. He has lettered in two sports here at Wilkes and also played football and baseball for his high school alma mater, Hanover Township high school.

Don Winlkinson's Pinbusters rolled up an astonishing 930 pins in the first game, but lost the next two by 894-839 and 866825. The 136-pin lead taken in the first game, however, game them a big enough margin to take a point for total pins and insure the tie match. Emil Petrasek was the big man for the leagu e-leading 'Busters, ·,vith gam es of 255, 199, and 158.

Royals. There was only a two-point difference on the scoreboard between the opening game and last week's finale. In losing eight games while winning only one, the Colonels suffered five shutouts and themselves hung one on the Ursinus Bears. That win, the first Homecoming win in five years, was thus the only one of the current campaign. The Scranton juggernaut wasted littl e time getting into high gear. On the opening kickoff, junior end John Henling scampered from his own 27 to the Wilkes 19, a jaunt of 54 yards. Following an eight-yard first do\vn pass to Herrling, the sensational sophomore back Bill Kasulis swept his right end for a five-yard touchdown romp with only two n:iinutes and 47 seconds of playing time elapsed. Scoring again in the first quarter, Kasulis put on a brilliant display of end running when he galloped 81 yards to paydirt. Gus Graziano, 220-pound guard, kicked the extra point. dropped to a fourth place tie when they were beaten, 3-1, by the Bio Club.

' - ' • 5 .......-~-"."'"""""--------------------- ~. '• • • 8 UC KNELL HERE . FOR SOCCER . FINA[E -----------------------------~ f/iee ovt by MORGAN R. DA VIS, Sports Editor The football curtain rang down for four all-giving seniors last Saturday at Kingston Stadium. These men have given four years of sweat and sometimes even blood to accomplish something that they started out to do. Sometimes finishing a task or reaching a goal that you have to set for yourself turns out to be one of the hardest things in life to accomplish, as many who fell by the wayside will attest. It's just too bad that there isn't space enough in the Beacon to put each of their names in screaming banners and let the world know about these four seniors: Mike Dydo, Ron Ercolani, Bob Yokavonus, Bill Michaels. _. This may seem a little like hero- or athlete-worship, but I'm sure athat anyone who has attended Wilkes these last four years with these people know something of the trials that they encountered in playing for the honor and glory of Wilkes. Now we are engaged in a great contest, testing whether freshmen or any underclassmen think that they can attend Wilkes and maintain their scholastic average while still being active in sports. FACT OR RUMOR? The dark rumors in the air have it that this is a school where you "_either-or." That is if you go out for sports you are either on probation or out of school. Let's use the example of our four seniors to dissipate the fog surrounding this falsehood. This year the basketball team has a total of three freshmen out for what has, for the past three or four years, been a winning team. The swimming team, although relatively new on the campus, has now a total of eleven men out for its second season. Even the ever-illustrious wrestlers are a little sorely pressed for manpower. What tremendous catastrophe has sapped the strength and de-flowered the budding manhood of our young and vigorous males? The football team had a total of 17 men dressed for the Scranton U. game. It is common knowledge on the campus that if only half of the eligible males came out for football, or for that matter any of our eight intercollegiate sports, Wilkes would have some of the 'winningest" teams that ever brought home the bacon to their alma mater. DREAMERS I for one might be considered one of those incessant dreamers who every once in a while, catches himself musing over making that last~ minute TD or swishing the ball through the net from mid-court in the last few seconds of play. What is it that transforms some of our dreamers into athletes of real note? "'." e have had some very good athletes emerging with degrees from this college. Could it possibly be that our students might be tagged with the ugly word, "lazy"? Let's hope not. I would rather believe that they are "snowed" by the nasty rumors. TROUBLES It is true that some of our athletes have been in academic hot water, but so have students who have never even been remotely connected with sports. It might be that our males have no confidence in their abil!ties, that is, underconfidence in their ability to study and also compete m sports. Whatever the reason for our lackadaisical attitude the least that we might sacrifice for the valiant few who do make ~p the sporting world, is to attend the games played. CHEERS Which brings up another subject. Where were all of the lungclearers and color-wavers at the last few home games? We know that it is sometimes difficult to attend the away games, but last week we would bet even money that the Scranton crowd was just as large as our own. Now there is also a "littl_e" known game of soccer that is played by some of the students at this college and I have it by the grapevine tha~ they _are playing a team ~ailed B~cknell tomorrow at Kirby Park. A ht~le bird also let o~t the mformahon that our team is one of the best, if not the best, which ever donned a Blue and Gold soccer uniform Now, if it wouldn't disturb your lethargy too awfully much I'm sur~ that the team would like to have a little background noise as they wind up the season. · Chuck Robbins e PENN BARBER SHOP e Ready to Serve You With a Complete Line of Sweaters, Jackets, Emblems, Sporting Goods.

The action taken by the Administrative Council was the first of its kind in recent years. The Administrative Council ap,. proved the budget with the exception of the $100 contingency fund. This contingency fund is money set aside as a buffer in case of emergencies. The Administrative Council suggested that this fund \should be raised to $200 by decreasing the original $1000 Manu. script budget by $100. George Black, editor of the Manuscript, was present at the meeting and added to the discussion by enumerating thP. policies of the Manuscript and by stating that the increase in the Manuscript's budget has been gradual. Although he said that the Manuscript would , oppose the $1~0 cut, he did state that the cuttmg of the Manuscript's budget would cut its capacity to publish an adequate literary magazine. Black also commented that other colleges, smaller than Wilkes, published a larger magazine. Winter Carnival Another important topic of discussion was the Winter Carnival which will be held on January 29 at Poconom Mountain Inn from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The total cost of this affair will be $200 which will -,be taken from the student activities fund. All students wishing to ski or skate should supply their own equipment. Refreshment and entertainment will be provided. Transportation will be provided by buses. All College Dance The forthcoming All College Dance on January 2 from 9 to 12 was also discussed. The general chairman of this dance is Bill Davis. Assisting him are Rhea Politis, chaperons; Cynthia Dyleski, publicity; Marty Menegus, music; Charles Sorber, decorations; Mike Bianco, refreshments; and G or d o n Roberts, entertainment. Music will be provided by Jack Melton and his twelve-piece band. Charles Sorber, a member of the ophomore class, was recognized as a new member of the Student Government. Since this is Bob Morris' last semester at school and Barbara Federer has resigned from the Student Government because of illness, the dates of the nominations and elections of two senior members of the Student Government were decided. On December 11 the nominations for the two senior representatives will be held, and on January 8 elections will take place in Chase Theater. Post cards will be sent to those senior accounting majors who will not be able to vote at this time. by Richard J. Myers Today is the day when over 1,000 Wilkes students have an opportunity to help their community to help others. Never has there been a more worthy cause than the blood-bank insurance program instituted by the college. The South Franklin Street home of the Wilkes-·B arre Chapter of the American Red Cross will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. today for students to help fill the blood insurance supply for themselves and their families. The program works on a deposit and withdrawal basis. Each pint of blood donated by a Wilkes student or faculty member represents a pint of blood credited to the needs of not only the donors, but even the needs of the families of Wilkes people. Whatever is used, however, must be replaced. In past years, participation by Wilkes students has fallen off considerably. John Reese, chairman of the campus drive, stated that he would like to see this lack of participation erased this year. Past years have seen competition for percentage of donors between clubs and organizations on campus, but it has been said that such donations should not have to come as the result of artificial inducement, rather from the free will of the people who are most likely to benefit from the program, should the need ever arise. The freshman class has served official 'notice that they intend to present the most solid performance as they attempt to get the highest percentage of donations from their ranks. Officials at the local Red Cross chapter are quick to realize the fears some people may entertain at the thought of giving their blood. They cite two important factors to dispell the fear. One: the body is supplied with approximately a gallon and three or four pints. The pint taken will not damage the body in any way by its absence. Further more, the liquid will be replaced in about 24 hours. Two: modern processing techniques permit almost indefinite storage of the vital fluid. This enables the organi,z ation to preserve blood whole or as plasma and the operation of the usage procedures allows a wide range of storage and transportation methods designed to get the blood where it is needed in the shortest possible time. Best selling point of all is the simple, truthful statement, "It doesn't hurt a bit."

This year's party, according to co-chairmen Mary Louise Spinelli and Hugh Gladstone, will be bigger and better than ever. First and most important, all students and faculty members of Wilkes College are eligible to attend the party free of charge. For the gourmets of Wilkes a tasty buffet style meal will be served. Those attending will also Plans Nearly Complete For Christmas Formal Following through with their theme the Psychology-Sociology and History Clubs, who are jointly sponsoring the dance, promise a full evening of dancing and refreshments and a "low overhead" admission price of only fifty cents. This meager admission charge will be accomplished mainly by a streamlined budget, and through the use of "plain pipe racks" (for coats.) Because of the upcoming Lettermen's Formal, and the holiday season, the clubs felt that student Bob Davis by Richard J. Myers Men of Wilkes are warned that time and tickets for the annual Lettermen's formal dance are running out. The limited ticket supply is reported to be dwindling fast, but the remaining ducats are still in circulation and can be purchased from any letterman. Time, of course, continues on its relentless march to the magic date, Friday, December 12. All arrangements have been made to ease the task of preparing for attendance at one of the most popular events of the school calendar. General co-chairman Carl Zoolkowski and Bob Yokavonus have put the committees to work arranging for decorations, favors, program, entertainment, refreshments, and have left no stones unturned in providing ways and means of getting flowers and wearing apparel. The only thing a Wilkes man has to locate for himself is a date. Millie Gittins, charming proprietress of the Bookstore, has a list posted in her domain telling of the best in corsage bargains, while Baum's and John B. Stetz offer a wide selection of men's formal attire to suit any form, any pocketbook.

Intermission programs at many of the dances this year have been very long and drawn out, so the "Robert Holly Hop" will feature continuous dancing music for the entire evening. Art Evans and John Gavazzi are co-general chairmen for the dance assisted by the following committee chairmen: Don Devins and Pat Hemenway, publicity; Gil Davis and Judy Alinkoff, refreshments; Don Brandt and Judy Coplan, entertainment; Tom Hick and Bob Davis, tickets. The Cue 'n' Curtain play, "Annie Get Your Gun", and the dance will both take place on Friday night, but students can go to the dance (for fifty cents) on Friday and see the play Saturday, thereby having a whole weekend of fun and entertainment with no great strain on the purse strings.

EDITORIAL - Closed Doors? Two weeks ago the Administrative Council rejected the Student Government's pro 'p osed extra-curricular activities budget. The budget then went back into committee. The new Student Government Constitution states that meetings of the goyernment are open to all students - yet we were not allowed to sit in on the meeting. We had no intention of contributing our two cents worth to the discussion, we just wanted to hear what went on, and we feel that we were completely within our rights in asking this. In our opinion there is no reason to have closed meetings of any part of the Student Government - full session or committee meeting. The Student Government is composed of representatives of the student body, they are not a group of individuals chatting over a cup of tea at a social. Every decision made in committee or in a regular session of the Student Government concerns the students and they should have the right to see how these decisions are made. We hope that this matter will be discussed by the government and that their decision is included in the constitution. -mjk SENIOR INDEX 'LOCAL GOVERNMENT' DISCUSSED TUESDAY by Phyllis Iannuzzo THETA DELTA RHO TO HOLD OLD PEOPLE'S YULE PARTY At the December second Wilkes College ·a ssembly, Dr. Hugo Mailey addressed the student body. The topic he chose to speak on was "Local Government." The program was opened with a hymn and a reading from the Bible. Dr. Farley read a few announcements and introduced Dr. Mailey. Dr. Mailey stated that political office holders cannot be professionals because they would not have the people at heart but would be interested only in their personal gain. He also stated that definite trends are being sh.own towardplanning and that unplanned communities are expensive places to live in. Planning is done on a regional basis using such devices as -z oning and housing programs. Local officials are putting more emphasis on the future. The different systems of government used in this area and the percentages of cities using them are: 41 % of cities have mayors, and 40 % of cities use the manager system. The manager system is moving up at the rate of 2 and 3% a year. by Marilyn Krackenfels Tax Clinic on Campus Today and Saturday; Guest Speakers Listed For the benefit of those seniors who were not at the last class meeting and therefore did not fill out their senior index cards, the Beacon is providing a form to be filled out for this purpose.

December 5, 1958 WILKES COLLEGE l3EACON BERLIN HIT BASED ON TRUE STORY Tunes, Sparkling Story Made Show a Success Throughout the World Hailed by critics as Irving Berlin's greatest musical comedy success, "Annie Get Your Gun," Cue 'n' Curtain's curre nt production, sparkles with music, romance, and guns. The play, honored by theatregoers with a 144-week run on Broadway, is based on the real life story of Annie Oakley, America's most famous markswoman who could shoot "the fuzz off'n a peach" with her trusty rifle. The play comes from the pens of the famed brother-sister writing team of Herbert and Dorothy Fields, who wrote it specifically as a vehicle for well-known songstress Ethel Merman. ABOVE - Annie is asking why she has to share a stateroom with two Buffaloes on the trip from abroad. Steve Cooney, center, portrays the role of Buffalo Bill Cody in the play. The company is returning triumphant, but broke, from a tour abroad. The 'card table' is a chest full of medals won by Annie on the trip. The glamour and excitement of Buffalo •Bill's Wild West Show during its American and European tours of the late nineteenth century provides the background for the musical. The story relates how sharpshooter Annie proves herself an equal to the show's crack shot, Frank Butler. A romance blooms between the two, yet, it is almost destroyed because of their professional rivalry until Annie realizes that "You Can't Get a Man With a Gun." ***** BELOW - Barbara Cusick, left, as Annie, is shown singing "Doin' What Comes Naturally" in the first act of the WilkesKiwanis production at lrem Temple. Annie is trying to sell quail to the hotel manager who wants two dozen birds - all killed with one shot. Helping Annie are her three sisters and brother played by Sally Smith, Jerry Baird, Valentine Williams and Donnie Rosensweig. Barbara Cusick and Wayne Walters in the leading roles of Annie Oakley and Frank Butler As a composer, Irving Berlin needs little introduction to America's lovers of pops. Since his first big hit back in 1911, "Alexander's Ragtime Band," he has written literally hundreds of songs, in. eluding: "Give Me Your Tired Your Poor," "God Bless America,: perennial favorites "White Christmas". and "Easter Parade," "Say It With Music," and "This Is the Army." His score for "Annie" treats the public to more of his fine achievements in son2'. "Annie Get Your Gun" opened its noteworthy iBroadway run on May 16, 1946, with Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton in the principal roles. Widespread praise of the production brought about the formation of a London company ' (starring Dolores Gray) which continued there for some 500 performances, and a number of tourtg· tmpanies throughout the rl ,--------------------- ...... ,,.,-,,, w~~~ro~~~i~~~ c~:ee% i::~ 0!~~a~ ~.~~~::;:~::·;:::; • ~ CITY SHOE REPAIR February 12, 1949, it had played to approximately 1,500,000 persons for a box office gross of $6,000,000.

Millions of others were able to view the production via Hollywood and the M.G.M. musical of 1950 which starred Betty Hutton and Howard Keel. "Annie" was revived in New York ea1:ly this year as the first of a series of musicals at City Center.

Here . Tomorrow at 8 p.m., Team Travels Monday Booters End Year In Overtime Win Over Bucknell Us Coach Jim Ferris and his booters wrote a successful finish to the 1958 season, taking a thrilling, 2-1 overtime victory over the Bucknell Bisons. The victory was the seventh of the last eight contests and the two goals were the 25th and 26th of the year. The Colonels held the opposition throughout the season to a mere total of twelve in ringing up a 7-3 record, best in Wilkes history. The Bucknell game, played before a fair-sized, chilled home crowd on November 22, ended in a 1-1 tie. The Colonels jumped to a 1-0 lead with only minutes gone by when Carl Havira arched a neat pass to Nick Giordano, who rifled a bullet-shot past the Bisons' goalie. The Wilkes offense continued to dominate the game through the remainder of the first half, keeping the pressure on Sharp, the Bucknell goalie. The tide turned after the halftime intermission, however. The Bisons put on a sustained drive, but the Colonels managed to stall each scoring third period threat and throughout much of the fourth. Late in the final period, however, the Bisons ganged up on goalie Bob, ·P ayne and banged in a goal to tie the match. At the conclusion of the regulation 88-minute game, the score remained knotted at 1-1. In the second overtime period, after sev- by .. Morgan R. Davis, Sports Editor The Wilkes cagers walked off the home hardwoods Wednesday in the same manner they left it eight times last season, victorious. Keeping up their home winning stretch, the Blue and Gold ran hard, shot well, and fought gamely. Even though a last second goal was registered by Lycoming the final score read Wilkes 79, Lycoming 71. Led by the amazing jump shot of Fran Mikolanis, the home team jumped off to an early lead which they never relinquished. Mikolanis' deadly corner shot broke the resistance of the Lycoming Bears in the first half, when in a matter of 60 seconds he poured three long attempts through the hoop. George Gacha played his usual fine floor game, and also contributed 18 points. George displayed excellent ball-handling near the climax· of the contest when Lycoming went to an all-court press. Ron Roski, ex-Plymouth cager, came through in a banner manner, taking over for the the depa1·ted George Morgan and scoring 17 big points.

Drink ~~ SIGN OF GOOD TASTE Bottled under authority of The Coca-Cola Company by KEYSTONE COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY 141 Wood Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Last year the Colonels had little trouble with Coach Ellis McCracken's squad, but the Dutchmen are rapidly improving and count on the Wilkes loss of four key men to equalize the meet. Three of the four graduated team members were first-place winners in the second straight Wilkes team-championship in the Middle Atlantic tournament. They are: Jim Ward, Bobby Morgan, and Dave Thomas The fourth Keith Williams, wa~ also a st ell;r perform er for coach Reese for four years and has now taken over the coaching chores at Meyers High School. Despite the loss of these stalwarts, Reese is banking heavily on sensational Walt Glogowski, captain and speedy 177-pounder; and newcomer Dick Stauffer, Kingston grad and Pennsylvania State champion last year, to bring the team through the season. Marv Antinnes, last year's surprise package from the freshman class, will return at 167. If last year's brilliant work by this twoletter Forty Fort whiz ..kid is any indication, he should be one of the top men on the team this season. The lower weights cause Reese a lot of concern. After he fills the 123-slot, he still has to face the problems of filling the 130, 137, and 147 classes. Both Joe Morgan and Ron Bienkowski are both good bets for one of these spots, most likely at 137 and 147. The troublesome weight appears to be 130, where Bill Smith and Mike Armstrong both seem to present the best c h a n c e s but neither have had a great deal of varsity wrestling. An outside possibility at 130 is newcomer Jim Brewster. Brewster has ·the strength for the spot, but a seven-year layoff since high school wrestling days may prove a tough obstacle to overcome. Brewster will enter the Holiday Open Tournament, which should give an indication of his ability to get into competitive shape.

Several others bear watchmg as possible "sleepers" for starting berths. Dick Weiss, at 123 pounds, is a proven performer, as is heavyweight Bob Sislian. Newcomers who may break into the varsity ranks are: Bob Conway and Warren Greenberg, 123; John Hosage, 130; Girard Senick, 137; John Delmore, Jim Neddoff, Ed Stofko, and Ted Toluba, 157; Nelson Pappucci, 177; and Tony Korch at heavyweight.

Some of the Davismen who will face this year's stiff competition are: r eturning letterman George Gacha, who was one of last year's ace playmakers; Bernie Radecki, another junior holdover from last year's tremendous squad; and Fran Mikolanis, who seems to be showing plenty of the rebounding ability for which he is particularly noted. The two tallest men on the team are veteran Ron Roski at 6'-4" and Bernie Kosch at 6'-6". They should have their hands full trying to fill the shoes of last year's all-time high scorer George Morgan. Roski and Kosch are both sophomores this year with plenty of time for improvement. Two more r eturning juniors from last year's team are Walt Angielski and Ralph Hendershot. Angielski is a 6'-3" junior, form erly from Plymouth High School. Hendershot, who will see a lot of action at guard, hails from Larksville. Two "out-of-towners" Barry Yocum and Clem Gavenas, 6'-3" and 6'-1" respectively, will also be out trying to nail down two permanent forward positions on the squad. John Kuhar, a junior from Plymouth, is shooting for a steady guard position. John Salsburg, a sophomore from Harter, who should offer steady relief at the forward position, make up the rest of the upperclassmen on the team. Three freshmen, who will probably see no action in the first few games are George Tensa, Richard Foy, and Tom Pugh. All seem to be adding to the Colonel depth and all three are additions from the Plymouth side of the river. SWIMMING January: Home, 2:00 IO-Dickinson December 24-Scranton ..... ,..

All is peaceful - or is it? Let's listen in ... Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa-la-la . . . SHUT UP!!! Now is the time to be merry ... W.ILL YOU SHUT UP!!! !But . . . QUIET! I have to finish this termpaper now. ,B ut . . . I said I have to do this paper now, so I can start on the one that was due two weeks ago and have that finished by vacation time. Then I can start on the one that was due last week and get that done so I can start on the one that is due when we get back. Oh, how do you write a term paper? Well, first you cut class the day the paper is announced - that way you put off the inevitable for a little while. Then you rush up to your instructor and tell him how interested you are in the educational facilities on the island of Window shade and could you do a little outside work on the topic? ? Don't look too surprised when he tells you that you have to do a termpaper - after all, he knows that you have friends in the class. The 'word' gets around the faculty too. Now that you are stuck with the topic - go to the library and look it up in the card catalogue. Find it? No? Wonderful!! This is a good excuse to put the whole thing off until next Friday. Unfortunately next Friday d·oes come around and you return to the library and, by some stroke of disastrous luck, find your topic, listed under 'The Educational Facilities of Window-shade'. There's no getting out of it now - onward to the books. Four flights of long, steep stairs later, we find ourselves in the far back room, standing on a chair reaching for the top shelf. Not there! Gone! How could they? Now what to do . . . . Walk down the steps, don't jump, that will attract attention.

Here comes Prof. Hickenhopper. Ye gads, he has the book! Act nonchalant, the paper is only a week overdue. Thank you Prof. Hickenhopper, yes, I was looking for it, yes, I know that the paper is late, but you see I was trying to get all available sources so I could do a really good job on it.

The traditional affair will include a brass ensemble in addition to the individual and combined efforts of the three choruses. Each of the choral groups will present a sampling of its Christmas music. John Detroy, general conductor of the program, will direct the mixed chorus in several traditional C{lrols. Jean Pyatt, conductor of the Girls' chorus, and Bill Peters, director of the Collegians, will lead their groups as each sings its portion of the program. Wayne Walters will sing the baritone oratorio solo and the combined choruses will fill in on "The Heavens are Telling." The program will present a complete and varied range of choral work. The mixed chorus numbers are arranged for four-part harmonies with two male and two female parts. The girls' chorus will present music written in three-part harmony for female voices, while the Collegians' contributions are written for four-part male voices. The combined choruses will climax the program with the moving Maria Callas has a job at Cape and forceful "Hallelujah Chorus" Canaveral.

This organization has the following aims: (1) To coordinate the activities of the International Relations Clubs of the various colleges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, (2) To encourage individual International Relations Clubs to discuss international affairs objectively, and to promote an interest in international problems among the student bodies of the various colleges. The object of the meeting was to elect state officers, plan a convention, and to select a college to act as host for the convention. The f o 11 o w i n g people were elected to state offices in the Pennsylvania Association of International Relations Clubs: President, Clinton P. Chin from Villanova; Vice-President, Bob Milkman from Penn State University; Secretary, Kay Kirsch from Wilson College; Treasurer, D a 1 e Wagner from Wilkes; Parliamentarian, ,Bob Davis from Wilkes; P.A.I.R.C. Adviser, John M. Hodgson of Wilkes. It was decided that the P.A.I.R.C. State Convention would be held at Villanova College in the latter part of February. The theme for the convention will be problems in the Middle East. The three State officers of P.A.I.R.C. and various other members of the Wilkes College International Relations Club will represent Wilkes College at this conven- tion in February.

LETTER TO THE' EDITOR EDITORIAL - Orchids for 'Annie' The saga of sharp-shooting Annie Oakley hit a new high last week as the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis and Cue 'n' Curtain combined to present what was, in our opinion, the best musical ever put on by the college. After some of our more careful snooping, we finally found out how that bird managed to fly off Dolly Tate's hat in the first act; but try as we may we still can't figure out how Mr: O'Toole painted such beautiful scenery effects. We have seen quite a few plays recently, some 'big time' and others 'small time', but this is the first occasion that we have ever heard an audience burst out in spontaneous applause for the scenery. Mr. O'Toole out-did himself on the setr, for the harbor scene in act 3. Our sincere congratulations to Mr. O'Toole for a job well done. While we are passing out the bouquets, we would like to givo the biggest one of the bunch to director Al Groh. He did an amazrng job of getting the play into shape and ready for opening night Mr. Groh did yeoman duty during the long rehearsals and rates enthusiastic congratulations from everyone. Proving that there's no business like show business, the entire cast of "Annie" performed like professionals. Miss Barbara Cusick, as Annie, had 'em rollin' in the aisles through the whole show. Her devilish interpretation of the Berlin hit, "Doin' What Comes Naturally", had the audience gasping for breath as they tried to laugh, cheer and applaud at the same time. When the audience wasn't in hysterics, they were sitting up and taking notice as Miss Cusick did a beautiful job of acting her part. Wayne Walters was his usual superb self. His charm thrilled not only the gals on the stage but those in the audience as well. Out of the Wild West came the one and only Buffalo Bill, alias Steve Cooney, who did an excellent job of handling the idiosyncrasies of show people. Mr. Cooney did much to make us feel that we were actually back in the days when men were men and women were women, and they'd shoot anyone who said it wasn't so. The insults fired back and forth between Fred Malkemes and Judy Blutman kept us on our toes. We didn't want to miss any of them. Gene Stickler, Robert Stevens and John Salva and on through the cast; the chorus, dancers and the crew - everyone did their share, and they did it well. So, to the nearly one hundred people who helped Annie get her gun - congratulations! mjk W-B-R-E AIDS RETREAT DRIVE; JAYCEES TO FETE CHILDREN by Lee Baiera The Wilkes Jaycees will hold a Christmas party for the underprivileged children who belong to the S o u th er n Branch of the Y.M.C.A. The affair will be held from five to eight tonight on the second floor of the College Commons. Each Jaycee will bring two gifts; these gifts will be distributed among the children. A mock wrestling match will be held between ",B attling Bob" Morris and "Gorgeous John" Rentschler. Refreshments will be served, and games and cartoons will round out the evening. General chairman of the party is Dick Salus, assisted by the following committee heads: Frank Steck, refreshments; transportation, Bob Dominick and Myron Suseek; and clean-up, John Suseck. Santa Claus, in the person of Paul Schecter, will visit the assemblage, and distribute the gifts to the children. ***** Retreat Collection The annual collection of articles for patients at Retreat State Hospital, which began on November 10 and ended on December 10, proved I I to be very successful. In this year's collection the following articles were collected: four phonographs, twenty record albums, three cameras, stuffed animals, cards, jewelry, and clothing. A substantial boost was given to this collection by the men of Butler Hall at a party at their dorm on Tuesday evening, Novemher 25th. Admission to the party was a donation to the hospital. The party proved to be a huge success. On Friday, December 5th, from 9 to 5 o'clock, members of the Jaycees were on hand at the gym to receive telephone calls to collect articles which people wished to contribute. At a special broadcast from the Wilkes gym, Frank La Barr informed listeners of thls drive over his program, "Hall of Hits." The articles that were collected will be presented to Mr. Dayton at the Retreat State Hospital at a future date. Ira Himmel served as chairman of this drive. He was assisted by the following committees: Mike Goobic, publicity; Paul Schcter, Myron Suseck, and Dick Salus, transportation; Bob Dominick, posters; Jim Moser, fliers . WILKES COLLEGE BEACON The rush of applause and the glitter of the floodlights are all gone now. The excitement backstage, the congratulations and the condolences, they're gone, too. By most reports, Annie Get Your Gun was a great show; it was compared by many to the Broadway production which played before packed houses for two and one-half years. Now that the excitement of the extravaganza is all gone we, the members of the cast, would like to express are deepest appreciation to the three men who MADE the show: Al Groh, Bill Crowder, and Catha! O'Toole. Without these men, the director, musical director, and the set designer, we would not have had a show, good or bad. Often times in cases such as this, the persons who really deserve the credit somehow get lost in the shuffle. This is the reason why we are taking the time and space of the Beacon to say simply "thanks" to our three co-ordinators. Members of the Cast and Crew. Musical Organizations Combine in Christmas Assembly on Tuesday by Marilyn Krackenfels The annual Christmas assembly of the college was conducted on Tuesday in the appropriate setting of First Presbyterian Church, South Franklin Street. The three choral organizations of Wilkes, the mixed chorus, the Collegettes, and the Collegians, under the direction of Mr. John Detroy, Jean Pyatt, and William Peters, respectively, rendered various appropriate Christmas selections. The numbers done by the entire group were: "The Heavens are Telling" by Haydn, featuring Jean Pyatt, Wayne Walters, and Walter Umla, and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah. The mixed chorus performed three _numbers: "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" by Shaw, "The Lord Reigneth" by Williams, and the spiritual "Go Tell It on the Mountain." For their part in the program, the Collegettes sang two carols, "Hasten Swiftly, Hasten Softly" and "Rise Up, Shepherd." Mary Jean Sakoski was featured soloist in the latter number. The contributions to the program by the Wilkes Collegians were "The Echo Song" and a Slovak carol entitled "Rise Up Early." In a slight change of pace, Wayne Walters gave a baritone solo of Haydn's recitative "In Splendour Bright." In addition to these numbers, the entire assembly joined in singing three carols.

J. _S alley December 8, 1958 Editor Wilkes College Beacon Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Dear Madam Editor: You were not allowed to sit in on a budget committee meeting. Did you even once stop and ask yourself why? I should say not; otherwise, you would not have painted such a distorted picture as the one presented in your Editorial, Wilkes College 'Beacon,' December 5, 1958. The committee in question met with each organization prior to drafting the Extracurricular Activities budget. The Beacon was given equal time to express their "two cents worth". The committee, much like a jury then had to deliberate and render their decision. It is such a deliberation and not "over a cup of tea at a social" that you wished to sit in. You were refused admission to this committee meeting out of fairness to each and every organization on this campus. The action of the budget committee is entirely justifiable in so far as to do otherwise would have been in poor taste. In closing, madam editor, I would simply like to make note of the fact that as always "Student Government" meetings are open to all students who wish to attend. Very truly yours, Paul A. Klein M r. Klein : The very fact that we wrote an editorial about the subject in the first place answers the above question. We are not in the habit of dashing off editorials without giving the topic considerable thought. In fact as shown by Mr. Klein's question, we did more thinking on th subject' than he did. We took the trouble to do more than a little thinkimr, we also did >"o me checking into the s ubie~t. You. Mr. Klein , evidently did not find it necessary to do anything more than explode an angry burst of personal anger. Before we voiced our objection to being excluded from the meeting, we talked with the Parliamentarian of the Student Government, Gordon Roberts. Unfortunately Mr. Klein, you did not bother to do this. Mr. Roberts agrees with us in our objections and if anyone is an authority on constitutional interpretation, Mr. Roberts is. We also took the time and trouble to ask Bob Morris what he thought of the situation. It is a _shame that you did not find it necessary to check a few facts yourself. Morris stated that he did not know the answer to the problem either. As far as our "painting such a distorted picture" of the circumstances, this is but utter nonsense. We were writing about something that happened to us, we were there. You, Mr. Klein, were not there when we were refused admission to the meeting, therefore you are not in any position to know what is a distortion of the facts and what is the truth. You also found it to your liking to turn your back on the point of the editorial we wrote. You ignored the fact that we were not, in any way crticizing the buget committee alone. We stated quite clearly that we "hope that this matter will be discussed by the Government and that their decision is included in the Constitution." We do not feel that this needs any explanation; however, if we must spell out our meaning we will do so. We have found in the past that there is some confusion among members of the Student Government as to whether members of the STUDENT BODY are to be allowed to sit in on committee meetings of the Student Government. We were, and still are, seeking an answer to this question. We want this to be discussed by the government and we also want their decision on the matter made public so that the confusion will be cleared up. Whatever the Government as a whole (not one member) decides, we will abide by their decision simply because the Government is USUALLY a sensible group and should know what is best. We still hold that committee meetings should be open, however. Finally, a word to the wise. Mr. Klein, the next time you become the mouthpiece for someone else, instead of listening to only one side of the story, check the facts. You are never wrong when you are sure of the truth. mjk PERUGINO'S VILLA Italian-American Restaurant Editorial and business olfices located on third floor of 159 South STEAKS - SEA FOODS - CHOPS Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre, on Wilkes College campus.

Second, it is moot for two reasons whether a small college like ours should undertake massive musical productions like this one. For one thing, the expense of time and energy on the part of all hands may be excessive. For another, this is at best popular musical theatre, which can be done better and more appropriately by others. It can be argued that the college ought to do experimental or classical shows which do not necessarily have a mass appeal, but which can be done modestly and seriously in a college while they are not likely to be done anywhere else. These are reservations, not detractions. Mr. Groh and his whole gaudily bedizened troupe merit only our applause. What a crazy world we live in, It's wonders never cease.

Chapman The critic's despair here, trying to give a sound report of last week's Annie Get Your Gun, is numbers. About a hundred people took part in the production, and they all did well separately and in ensemble. Merely to print their names would take more space than we have, and so much that ought to be said will go unsaid. To speak of the total impression: pace, coherence, balance, composition, and the like, it could hardly be improved. Everything worked together to give the show a gay and a crisp style. The director, Mr. Alfred Groh, must be especially praised for adapting this rapid and witty musical bit, designed for rthe small Broadway houses, to the appalling vastness of !rem Temple, surely designed for pageants with r eal elephants. Mr. William Gasbarro and his •pit orchestra not only played the Irving Berlin music brightly, but held their dynamics in check and never drowned out the singers. The settings by Mr. Cathal O'Toole and his band of illusionists defined the usable playing space while their audacious colors gave a vibratory lilt to the whole show. The third act setting of New York Harbor in itself evoked murmurs and applause from the audience. Barbara Cusick both as singer and actress played a plausible Annie IOakley, stressing the girlishness of the great sharpshooter. She thus wisely avoided comparison with Ethel Merman, who could be imitated only by a large airraid siren. And an air-raid. Wayne Walters, of course, we can now depend upon for a polished performance. He acts well, and he sings better than any of us deserves. Fred Malkemes had much to do with the pact of the show, whipping it along as Charley Davenport, the pitchman-impresario. by Connie Stukowski The Student Government is making final preparations for the second annual Christmas All College Dance which will take place on Friday evening, January 2, in the gymnasium. The turnout at the annual Thanksgiving Dance for all colleges had been so great in the past that last year the Student Govern,.. "nt initiated the Christmas affair. The result was an instant success. All vacationing students of the Wyoming Valley area are invited to attend the dance which will feature dancing from nine to twelve to the strains of Jack Melton's 12piece orchestra. Bill Davis, general chairman for the function, has announced that the decorations for the evening will feature pennants from the various colleges attended by local students. No admission fee will be charged, and free refreshments will be served to all those attending. Because the event will take place during the holiday vacations when students will be home, invitations will not be sent out, but rather the event will be publicized in the local newspapers. Assisting Bill Davis on the dance committee will be the following students: Cynthia Dysle!l'ki, publicity; Gordon Roberts, entertainment; Rhea Politis, chaperones; Bob Washburn, music; Charles Sorber, decorations; and Mike Bianco, refreshments.

He proved to be a worthy successor to Wilkes' all-time great George Morgan by "ripping the nets" with 17- and 20-point outbursts in the initial contests of the season. In spite of the opponents' tight defenses, the 6-4 sophomore center spearheaded Coach Eddie Davis' ch11-rges with his agile hook-shots and his nimble lay-ups. Both the Warriors and the Crusaders had extreme difficulty in finding a man who possessed the height and speed of the Blue and Gold "bucketman." This proved disastrous to both teams as they were forced to double-team him, thus allowing other sharpshooting Wilkes' cagers to roam loose. He was also quite eminent on defense; his aggressive rebounding thwarted many scoring attempts of the baffled opponents. Although seemingly small for a pivot man in college ball, Ron possesses the great jumping power and speed necessary for stardom. With two more full seasons ahead of him, he should become one of Wilkes' greatest performers.

The Parlia m entarian of the Student Government said that nothing has ever been stated legally about Student Government committee m eet ings being clos_ed or opened. In the past, however, several Student Government co mmittee meetings were reported by committee m embers as being closed. Other Business President Bob Morris appointed th e various chairmen of the Freshm en Orientation Program . Freshman Activities Co-ordinator is Gordon Rob erts. Chairman of the Big Brother Committee is Bill Davis. Dick Salus is chairman of th e Freshman Advisory Committee with Bob Wash burn and Mike Bianco as co-chairmen of the Freshman Orientation Committee. In connection with the handbook, it is t entatively planned to have an all-student handbook next year. This would be made up of three sections: a gener~l section under the chairmanship of Paul Klein, a dorm section with Pat Yost as chairman and the Freshman section under the co-chairmanship of Bob Amey and Rhea Politis. A report was given on the Honor System Committee by Gordon Rob erts. H e asked for an enlargement of the committee with the addition of faculty members. He announced that th e next stop of the committee was a polling of the stud ent body on the question of having or not having an honor system. l . This week has been perhaps th e most exciting, informative, and progressive in the short but eventfill ed history of the Wilkes College University Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management. Starting •off the week's age nd a was a board of directors meeting held at noon Monday in the cafet eria. Jake Zook was appointed chai rman of the board of directors and th e meeting progressed with the board's discussion of business reports and forms, a S.A.M. n ewsletter, incentive awards, and the appointment of a by-laws committee chairman. Monday evening by in vitation of Mr. Albert C. Smith, national director, and Mr. Edward B. Stringham, executive vice-president membership, S.A.M.'s four officers, Dave Compton, Carl Borr, Charles Butler, and Jake Zook, attended a dinner meeting of the Northeastern Senior Chapter which was h eld in the Hotel Sterling.

Dr. Gilbreth's husband was a pioneer in the field of tim e and motion study and their daughter p enned the best seller "Cheap er by the Dozen.'' At noon, Wednesday, in Pickering 104 president Dave Compton called to order a regular meeting of the chapter and stressed the importance of active participation by all members in the chapter's m emb ership drive. Also discussed was th e adoption of name tags and ~;o~n~:-i:;~;;~i:~en!:~~e;~e~~c~~~ the chapter's proposed newsletter.

Teachers come in all t ypes - small, large, funny, boring, experienced, just-out-of-college, sadistic, and kind; but all have the same creed - to get as much work as possible as often as possible out of as many as possible, and to protest with ·o•s, their only weapon, when the student's natural inertia fails to produce. Prin cipals hire them, students tolerate them, mothers suspect them, and t enure of office protects them. A teacher is Mercy passing out final exams, Wisdom barreling through t he halls against traffic, Love handing out "Subtract three from 10 thousand," Interest saying "What are you doing in your locker now, son?" Who else can cram into one pocket book (or golf bag as the case may be) 85 unmarked papers, 2 cartons of cigarettes, 5 unanswered questions, several memorandums, 23 keys, 7 red pencils, 4 apples, a lunch, and a nervous breakdown?

Friday, January 9, 1959 A NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS I extend to the faculty and to all at Wilkes College a joyous and happy New Year, and may God bless and protect everyone of us. To my fellow · freshmen - my sincerest wish that the new year will be the best that you have ever experienced. Let us continue to try to be the best class that Wilkes has yet produced. Sincerely, Victor Turoski ffi WhiWbiitiBffiimthfrnt~irnr.i\i1ftht6tidiim'ilt6irrd\1 by Fred Roberts A week ago mine would have been CI lonely voice raised in protest against the optimism of those who claimed we were "one up" on the Russians after - our space penetrating. lunar probes and our talking satellite. But the Russians quickly pricked the newly inflated national ego with their pioneering moon shot coming only a few days after their announcement of an 8700 mile range missile. The Red Lunik passed within 4800 miles of the moon and speeds on into space to orbit around the sun for perhaps a million years . It is the first man made planet. In view of this, and its speed of 7 miles a second and 3425 pounds last stage of which 796 pounds are instruments, the New York Times calls the lunik "the greatest achievement of the Space Age." The Russians have again demonstrated that we are lagging disastrously behind . The Atlas sat ellite was a long step forward; it is the first satellite placed in orbit with the aid of ground radio guidance, and it has miniaturized radio equipment that can receive and broadcast messages. But the 8750 pound, 85 foot Air Force Atlas had only 150 pounds of instrument payload. It was a, simple one-stage rocket; the spent rocket itself was included in the orbited mass. The Russian Sputnik III of May, 1958, in comparison, weighed only 2925 pounds, but 2129 pounds of that was instruments. It is estimated the Russian missile technology is so f.ar advanced that the lunik had five times the thrust of onr lunar probes. Moreover, the Atlas' attained speed of 17,000 miles per hour even fell short of what our scientists had expected. The Atlas achieved an orbit only 118 to 625 miles out. Sputnik III orbits as 150 to 1168 miles. Although our allies were to som e ext ent re--assured, the rest of the newly missile-sophisticat ed world Admiral Harold R.

Either our technical shortcomings were fully appreciated or the President's. "Christmas message" did not impress. The first is undoubtedly true, but the second, if it is likewise the case, is more discouraging because it indicates that our pro-• testations of good will are no more believed than those of the Russians. Although I do not doubt the President's sincerity, I am inclined to agree that the m essage was a rather pretentious bit of hypocrisy. "I convey to you and to all mankind America's wish for peace on earth," corning from a military weapon fir ed as a device in the cold war seems somehow inconsistent with the principles associated with this time of year. The message, rather I think, pointed up our sanctimonious moral posturing. Either we ue morally consistent and adopt a true pacifist approach - an unfeasible position, or we are to openly take part in the struggle for world power and the control of the minds of men who do not even accept large portions of the American philosophy_ If we are to protect democracy we must, it seems to me, give up moral preaching in favor of simply presenting our society as a less regimented way to achieve social and economic ends. It is apparent that we face a year in which our technical lag becomes more crucial. Our leaders must dedicate themselves to pushing us on to r enewed efforts even if it costs us som e of our traditional comforts.

The swimmers will be starting their season against one of the best t eams in the Middle Atlantic Conferen~e. The Colonel team has been whipped into shape by Coach Russ Picton, whose by-word this year is conditioning. The Colonel t eam will be competing in their first match without the aid of a diving contingent. They ho pe to overcome this deficit with the aid of star swimmer Carl Havira. In last year's contest with Di(•k inso n, Carl was stopped short of copping three 5-point places by coming down with cramp s after leadinz the field until the final lap. The r est of the team shows more depth than last year's team. Last year's distance man, Bernie Wahalla, will be aided by sophomore prospect Jake Zook. Another returnee who compet ed in t he Middle Atlantic Tournament last year is letterman Pat Shovlin; he will be helped in the ba ~kstroke events by ovt by MqRGAN -~· , ~AVli;l, Sports _E~itor . ~ Try as we mi-ght, the 'only particularl y 1bright s pot that we can see on the Wilkes wintet· sport horizon continues to be the; m en o'f Coach John Reese's wrestling ·team. · At the beginning ·of t he year Coach Re ese, a renowned pessimist, Jet it be known that the two ·· roughest teams ne would fa ce were Hofstra and Franklin & •Marshall. The December 13 meet with the Dutchmen proved that our grand exalted head wrestling coach was gr atifyi ngly (26 to 5) wrong in his predictions. ' And we' do hope with ·every tiny fib er in our lusty bodies that he is wrong again in his gloomy predictions of the Franklin & Marshall meet. · ' Although the grapplers don't meet Hie ·Diplomats until February 18, we are going to stick our n ecks out just a little and predict that all the other meets before then will be warm-ups for the powerful Colonel grapplers. The Diplomats, coached by W. Roy Phillips, will be our first sojourn into big league EIWA conferen~e. The? have been known to beat such teams as Army and always mighty Princeton. I CAGERS There is an old saying that goes "if you have something good don'i; knock it," we prefer to call this "constructive criticism ." \Ve are speaking of the little people who get out on the hardwoods a few times a week and work up a sweat for the Blue and Gold. A 3-3 record is nothing to be asha med of; however, why do all of our wins happen on _the home court? There is. no use crying in our beer about past losses, but could there possibly be officials in the MAC lea gue who call de: i-1 sions to please the home crowds? One of our losses on the road was to a t eam that the Colonels should have beaten on a muddy ro ad, blindfolded. We think that the Colonels ought to try extra hard to win their next away gam e in 01:der to dissipate the enigma that shrouds some of our road losses. SPLISH SPLASH Babies start their life chowing down on a liquid form of r efresh. ment known as milk, then they graduate to soft canned type of nourishm ent found in a Gerber's can, finally they rea ch· the "hard" stage and , drink or chew up anything that is remotely edible. This growing up process is common to nature and is the normal format followed by almost any type mammal -that flourishes. The thou ght has just crept into our mind that perhaps this growing up process might be compared to our young and developing swimming .,team. Growling and gnashing of t eeth have been heard from the high · places, proclaiming that if the splashers don't produce a better team this year, they had better hang up their trunks. - • The first team that our potential-packed t eam competes against this year is that of the mighty Red Devils from Dickinson. The Devils are h eavy pre-season selections to take the MAC crown in ·a walk. After Dickinson comes another mighty array from Bucknell. Be brave ye swimmers, stick thi s season out, Jet's hope that the powers-that-be s·elect a schedule next year that is commensurate with your yol!th. Louis Rosenthal 1- - - - ~-" ' - ' . . . _ . .

Under the new system, there will be five pick-up poin:ts on campus: the Library, Stark Hall, Conyngham Hall, the Bookstore, and Pickering Hall. Deliveries will no longer be made to the Commons. It is felt by the editorial staff that the five spots are the best representative locations, making the Beacon more easily available· to more students. The reason for the shift in policy is not an arbitrary or capricious whim, designed to put more people to work. It is, ATTENTION! rather, a serious effort to alleviate a serious condition. When this issue was distributed, the Commons was a scene No books or papers will be alof furious noon-time mob action as hundreds of eager hands lowed in the lobby of the gymnaripped at the newly arrived newspapers.

Finally, the waste, i.e., coffee-stained, crumpled, doodledupon newspapers are left for disposal while hundreds of students who don't get near the Cafeteria on Friday afternoon are deprived of a copy. These students have every bit as much right to a Beacon, but are often disappointed. The new policy may not guarantee better distribution, but with student cooperation, it is a step in the right direction. The students will help by picking up one copy only. Nearly every student will be in one of the five buildings at some time during .the day, and needn't feel that he must wait for a friend to pick up an extra copy for him. Also, we suggest that students, when finished reading them, keep their copies. At a later date, they may be valued as mementoes of Wilkes. In addition, we are sure that parents by Richard J.

As usual, the place is the gym and the time is from 9 to 12 o'clock. Originally -the dance was scheduled to be sponsored by the International Relations Club.

Students will have an opportunity to forget past pitfalls or to celebrate past achievements as they dance to the strains of The Blue Notes orchestra. Appropriate decorations are also being planned to further accentuate the theme. All this will be provided for the mere admission price of fifty cents.

All students, according to the unofficial word, will be allowed to fill in their own schedules before registration for the Spring semester. As you enter the gym, you will be presented with your trial registration form which already has your subjects on it, and a schedule of class times and rooms. Each student will choose his own section and class time from the sheet and then attempt to get the corresponding card from the rear of the gym. This new system will give the student some leeway in planning his day and choosing his instructor. We think that this may be ihe answer to the long debated question of schedule changing. With full student cooperation, the plan should work except for that poor freshman who gets trampled in the :rush for that last, lonely History 102 C card. -mjk WHAT ...

ANSWF.RS: Leona A. Baiera In order to ha ve a n honor syst em at Wilkes there must be impli cit co-operation and honesty among the stud ents. Each student should kn ow what an honor system incorporates, an d must be awa re of its advantages and disadvantages. Al Kishel I definitely believe that there should be one at Wilk es , but under present conditions "temptation" would be too great for one to exist. Mar y Homan I think it's an excell ent idea, and it is not right to say that it would not work unl ess it wer e first given a chan ~e. Grace Schneider I th ink the honor system is unr ealistic, impractical, and of no benefit to the students. The honest students wouldn't cheat anyway, and an honor system would only benefit the dishonest. It's similar to a communistic or fascistic form of government, because it turns the honor students into informers. It is also an easy way for one student to take out revenge on another student. I know what I am talking about, for I went to a school that had an honor system. Marie Realmuto I am against having an honor system at Wilkes because it will not guarantee a student won't cheat. If he would cheat without an honor system, he would also cheat with one. Fred Roberts I am against having one at Wilkes because I don't think it would work. Constance Stukowski Before I could express my sentiments on an honor system, I would have to have a clear conception of all that it entails. I do know, however, that to be successful, an honor system should be 100 per cent student backed. Fran Bishop I think that it is a fine idea one that should be acceptable to anyone who is interested in the improvement of Wilkes and themselves. Bob Beneski I think that an honor system is good, but I do not think it would work at Wilkes. Students are too wide-spread. If one were started, it should be with incoming freshmen. Waif Glogowski Even though we don't have an h h t W'lk t d 0on~r syS em ~re a t ;h ~s,h ~e k ave many ti em:n s ab re P I up; eret ~ret, ffetie~et tmhate'fone a I one were pu m o e ec 1 Id k ' ;ou C wor ~- o:no / h t tO nk or e~ ?rd~n.d o~or sy! em ;:or 'b e_ac ~n ivi ~us llpr~~die\1 emg th on~ra e ~n a t is ea dngs, to erkwise sue a sys em wou 1 no wor . • M • k" A rme rozms 1 I am satisfied with conditions the way they are. Sheila Williams If an honor system wo1,ks at other schools, there's no reason why it wouldn't work here. Mrs. Mary R. E. Brown It is impossible to state categorically that an honor system will or will not be successful at Wilkes. The desire for one must arise from the students themselves, and the students must be willing to implement it wholeheartedly. There must be complete co-operation among the students and an atmosphere created which will make a student value his honor. One who violates the trust thus imposed should feel that the action would be disapproved by the student body and that he would no longer be worthy to attend Wilkes College. Dixie Lee Harvey It would r eally be a good idea to have an honor system here, but much indoct r ination and teaching must be ·on e first in order to put it across.

President Rodger Lewis was in charge of the meeting. A final report was submitted by committee members of the senior dance held during the Christmas recess. R. T. Mattioli is serving as student chairman for a dinner to be held in the cafeteria in honor of the January graduates. Russ Picton, general chairman of the affair, has announced that it will be open to the graduates and their guests only. Services of a caterer have been engaged. Wayne Griffith presented information gathered on a gift from the class to the college. Four sensible suggestions were received from the students, and the class will vote their preference, via post card, in the near future. Members were reminded of the class dance to be held on March 13. Bob Payne is chairman for this affair. The president also reminded the class of the student government e lection. Results of this election, held last Thursday, to fill student government seats vacated by Bob Morris and Barbara Federer, were the appointments of Elisabeth .Schwartz and R. T. Mattioli. MORRIS APPOINTED (continued from page 1) ship. He served as business manager of the school paper, treasurer of his class, four-year member of the Student Government, as well ,as being an honor roll student. As if this were not enough to keep one man busy, he also found time to participate in football, wrestling, and track, was co-captain of the football team in his senior year. While in the Navy he continued his wrestling, taking the A.A.U. 167-pound championship in the Washington, D.C., area in 1952. After entering Wilkes, Morris continued to excel in both studies and extra-curricular activities. H e has wrestled actively and now serves as assistant to Coach Reese. In addition to serving as Student Government president, his name appears in "Who's Who in American Colleges," he is a member of the senior class Executive Council, and is treasurer of the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. In spite of his h eavy load of outside work, he has still found time to do better-than-adequate academic work, proof of which is the Dean's List, where his nam e has been recorded often. If further proof of his abilities to deal w ith people were needed, a check of his part-time and summer jobs will provide it. He has variously worked as: waiter, gas station attendant, grocery store clerk, tobacco farm laborer, and supervisor of activities at the Forty Fort swimming pool. In addition, he has worked actively with the present freshman class this year, teaching orientation classes and generally preparing himself to work in his chosen profession. The Wilkes Colonelettes displayed a snappy bra nd of basketball last Monday when th ey defeated the Wyoming Seminary varsity squad, 43 - 15, in a practice gam e h ere. The Colonelettes junior varsity grabbed the lead early in the first quarter and never relinquished it throughout the entire conte st . Newly elected captain Jocelyn King led the home team scoring with 16 points in her first college contest. Florence Billings was second with 8. Beverly Major and Nancy Davies, veterans of laS t year's squad, tied for thi rd place in the scoring honors wi th 7Freshman Mary Ann Furey alternated between the forward and guard positions and picked up 7 points. High scorer for Seminary was Judy Fassett with 5 points. Marywood - 51 to 30 With added experience and h igh enthusiasm, the Wilkes Women played hostesses to the fast-moving Marywood squad last W ednesday night. The Colonelettes held their own during the first quarter, the period ended with a 7-all score Wilkes moved ahead, 13 to 9 , at the beginning of the second period, but gradually lost the lead to the more experienced Marywood team Final score was 5l-30. Both teams suffered on the foul line, Wilkes made only five out of fifteen free throws, while Marywood collected only five out of eighteen on the charity line. Sophomore Florence Billings was the only Wilkes player to hit double figures in the scoring race. Florence tallied 14 counters, with fiv e in the last quarter. Captain Jocelyn King contributed nine points to the score before fouling out half-way through the last quarter. Beverly Major connected with two long shots and hit on three out of three foul tosses for a total of 7 points. Retired Recruits vs. Varsity?

The negative t eam of Roberta Feinstein and Fred Roberts logged a perfect record of four wins, while the affirmative team, Gwen Evans and Cliff Brothers, lost only one of four. Fred Roberts was named first speaker and received a gold medal, while Brothers earned the silver medal as second speaker. It is the fourth year since 1955 that "Good N eighbor" first speakers have been members of Dr. Kruger's teams. Roberts joins Bruce Warshal, Jesse Choper, and J. Harold Flannery, Jr., as a member of debating's "elite". Brothers was participating in only his second tournament. In fact, until the N.Y.U. "Hall of Fame" tourney a few weeks ago, he had never even seen or heard collegiate debate. The affirmative team at Bucknell defeated Penn State Wom en, Dickinson, and Bucknell and lost to Penn State Men. The negative team defeated the affirmative members of the same schools. On the weekend of January 3031, Wilkes will be represented in the Johns Hopkins Invitational at Baltimore. Fred Rob erts and Roberta Feinstein will enter as a twoman team. A business m eeting of Cue 'n' Curtain was h eld recently, at which time three resignations were accepted, and three n ew committee h eads were named. Howard All en, a senior, resigned as head of the lighting committee and Roy Morgan, a junior was named to the post. Paul Abrams, w ho will graduate at the end of this semester, gave up his position as chairman of the backstage committee and Dave Kistler was named as h ead. Michael Crush r esigned as publicity head and Steve Cooney was given the appointment. Plans were abandoned by the club to present the production of "Tiger at the Gates," due to insuffi cient funds left in the treasury from the Student Government allotm ent.

A question which has arisen with increasing frequency from many members of the student body here at Wilkes is, "What is S.A.M. ?" An explanation of exactly what S.A.M. is, its activities and its objectives, is necessary if this question is to be answered fully. POPULAR LECTURER TO SPEAK NEXT WEEK by Cynthia Hagley The platform guest of the n ext assembly is Joe Callaway known as "the best young lecturer on the theater today." Mr. Callaway is an actor who has performed on Broadway with such stars as Martha Scott, Victor Jory, Judith Evelyn and McDonald Carey. His lectures have taken him on nine successful coast-to-coast tours, besides a year's tour in Europe to fourteen different countries. Mr. Callaway's experience on Broadway is only a small part of his stage career. He has played in sixteen different Shakespearean plays as a member of the famous Globe Theater Company and has directed a Miami Beach stock company and the San Diego Community Theat er. Recently, h e has dir ected and been featured with outstanding eastern summer theaters. Two of Mr. Callaway's most popular programs are Play Parade and Shakespeare a la Mode. In Play Parade h e comments on, acts in, scenes from great comedies and com edy-dramas. In the Shakespeare program, h e portrays characters from scenes in Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing and others. The following are comments made by various organizations and newspapers on Mr. Callaway's lecture: the New York Times - "Pay suitable attention to Joe Callaway;" the New York Daily Mirror " Outstanding;" the Honolulu Advertiser - "Joe Callaway knows his theater, views it with insight, treats it with rare humor and understanding;" Evergreen, Washington State College - "Callaway left the campus in an hilarious uproar over hi s devastatingly amusing presentations from Broadway." The students of Wilkes may look forward to an educational and amusing program. The initials S.A.M. stand for The Society for Advancement of Management. This Society is the recognized national organization of management in industry, commerce, government, and education, and is dedicated to the promotion of the art and science of management. . Through the more than 137 Um versity Chapters located in the United States, this organization en-1 deavors to strengthen managemen ed ucation. While the program ha been primarily designed for stu dents preparing for careers in business and industry, the various ac-· tivities of individual college chapters have been developed to further the growth of all students, regardless of their academic major, by stimulating their thinking and widening their knowledge in such area s as materials, machines, and the efficient utilization of manpower. Society activities include seminars, clinics, lectures, and plant visits, all of which help the student gain an insight into the actual practice of the management profession. This type of program imparts to each student a fuller appreciation of the working t echniques of American industry. The three basic objectives of each University Chapter are: 1. To bring together business executives and students preparing for careers in the business world. 2. To distribute information concerning the present problems and policies of industry. 3. To provide stud ents with the opportunity of participating in the planning and direction of an organization dedicated solely to furthering the advancement of management. Management is a profession. Like any existing profession, it is an art composed of its own body of principl es, tools , and skills. Even more than this, it is an attitude of the mind, a point of view; it works toward a better understanding of the problems facing industry and business in today's complex societ y. !

Myers Miss Sylvia Dworski, Ph.D., of the Wilkes faculty, was named recently to Who's Who in America, the National publication of the A. N. Marquis Publishing Company of Chicago. Debalors Sevenlh In Hopkins Meet Two representatives of the Wilkes College debating t eam, Fred Roberts and Roberta F einstein, traveled to Baltimore for the Johns Hopkins Tourney over the weekend of January 30. In a fi eld of forty t eams the Wilkes debators placed seventh with a total of 272 points. The topic debated was "Resolved : That futur e development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement." Roberts and Feinstein upheld both sides of the topic. In the competition Wilkes defeated Northeastern and Navy in the first round. In another round which paired winners against winners, Maryland and Wheaton defeated the Wilkes representatives. Later, in another round, Wilkes rallied to defeat St. Michael's of New Hampshire and Johns Hopkins. In th i s year's tournament Roberts, with a total of 141 points ranked eleventh in the individual scoring. In previous years Wilkes placed third three times with 5-1 r ecords and won the tourney in 1955 with a 6-1 r ecord. Miss Dworski joins a former part-time fa culty member, Miss Charlotte Lord in the supplemental Women's edition of the nationwide directory of famou s people. Associate Prof essor in the Department of Modern Languages, Miss Dworski is now in her eleventh year as a member of the Wilkes faculty, and is well-known to all French and Spanish students. Before joining the Wilkes instructors, Miss Dworski taught French, Spanish, and English at N ew Ha ven State Teachers College, Connect ic ut, and in the East Haven, Connecticut , High School.

The choi.c e of classes was enth~siastically approved by those who managed to get to the gym at _7 a.m. on Friday and therefore got firs1 choice. For those who didn't get there early, or those whose names don't begin with R to Z, there was much dissatisfaction. The A to M lines wound around the jam-packed gym, out the door and back to Ohav Zedek Synagogue, while the rest of the alphabetically lucky ones marched right into the gym, up to the registrar's table and on to the best classes. We can not see why: 1) the alphabetical distribution was not checked beforehand and made more equal; or 2) why there were not more registrar's tables - perhaps one on each side of the gym. We fully realize that to have more tables means more people will have to be paid for working; that is if the system of employment continues. On this topic there are several suggestions. _ The first and foremost is to have TDR, a service organization, or the Lettermen, volunteer members to assist in giving out trial re~istration forms at two tables. This would free experienced personnel to help at the finance desk, and would also facilitate the possibility of having a more equal breakdown of the alphabetical lines. The second suggestion calls for a club or organization on campus, such as the Student Government or the Economics Club for instance, get together and volunteer to assist in the registration. The finance line, usually the worst in the entire process, was improved considerably with the use of already printed receipt. However, this line could be speeded up by instigating a new system. Perhaps payments could be made due by the week before registration. For those who could and would pay, the line would be eliminated. For those who do not pay before registration, the usual long grumbling line would be the only solution. There could possibly be a separate table set up for those who have paid, or for those who have tuition scholarships and do not have to pay. Having to stand on a long line just to tell someone that you do not pay tuition is annoying to any student. On the whole, registration this year was better than ever just like the movies; but like the movies, improvement is not impossible. -mjk Oh, Say Can You See Wilkes College is by far the most patriotic institution in the United States. This statement can be made without reservation if one considers the fact that the American Flag is rarely, if not never, taken from its station atop the flag pole on Chase lawn. • Students who leave the library at 9:30 at night have the opportunity to admire our beautiful red, white and blue through the inky blackness.

Letters To The Editor: Since a few Student Council actions have rece.ntly . come in for some criticism, it is worthwhile at the beginning of the new semester to point out ·that Article VII of the Student Constitution provides a means of effective protest against Student Government decisions. According to that section a Court of Appeals, made up of two faculty and two student members and one r epresentative of the administration, has the power · by majority vote to overrule the Student Council subject only to a two-thirds vote by the Council upon the Court's final decision. The procedure for g etting a matter before the Court is relatively simple; just give a written brief containing a summary of the argumentation and evidence presented on the matter before the Council. The Council in turn shall also file a summary of the case presenting its reasons and the minutes of the meeting at which the matter was argued. The Court may, before r endering a decision, require further investigation before a hearing. If there are any other questions as to the particular form of the briefs, the chairman would be happy to consult with any interested party.

Musto, a bit of a linguist himself, is faced with the big job of t eaching them English so that they can move into regular classes. He also tries to incorporate Americanism and democracy into their regular class work, giving them a clear er picture of life in the United States. By t eaching them five or six new words a week, he has now gotten them to the stage of writing complete sentences. Musto explained that he "lets them work at their own pace and doesn't move them along as a group." He now has two groups - one well advanced, and the others beginners. He pointed out that an Hungarian-speaking girl who had been in his class at ,t he start of this year already has gone into the regular eighth grade English class.

Dear Editor: It was brought to my attention that some individual in our student body had placed an unauthorized notice on the blackboard in Pickering Hall to the effect that the S.A.M. meeting was cancelled. The notice caused several members to miss the meeting held at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, February 3. The notice was also falsely signed with the name of one of the S.A.M officers. I can not help questioning the intelligence of the person responsible for that notice. I am also sure that that person would not have the courage to admit his guilt to me personally or to any other member of the S.A.M. Chapter. I am only consoled in knowing that students whose character shows disregard for the rights of others are in the very minority at Wilkes. by Jim Eidam With regret, David D.

STEFAN ·osusK.¥ , his country at the Assembly of the League of Nations. For his exceptional service r e n d er 'e d to Czechoslovakia, this cou~try awarded him the Karlik Prize, the Czechoslovakian Nobel Prize. From January, 1921, until the fall of France, Dr. Osusky served as minister of Ozechoslovakia to France. Upon the fall of France Dr. Osusky took refuge in London. There he became a member of the Czechoslovakian government in ex,ile and of the Legislative State Council, organized on British soil after the fall of France. For the past four years Dr. 0susky has been a Visiting Professor of European Civilization and Culture at Colgate University. The work of this great statesman has not been limited only to his native Czechoslovakia. He has received decorations from France, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania, Luxemburg, Bolivia and Chile. The students at Wilkes are privileged to have such a renowned person to share his experiences with them. This assembly program will undoubtedly prove one of the high spots of this year's program.

Dick Stauffer set the scene with a 1 :45 fall over sophomore Barry Silverstein after taking about one minute to execute a takedown. Ted Toluba set the Wilkes fans buz.zing when he turned in his third straight fall this year, pinning sophomore Phil Rodman in 38 seconds of the second period after a scoreless first round. Captain Walt Glogowski showed his fans some· more of his famous whirlwind brand of wrestling when he came from behind to pin Jerry Levkov in 3:15. Levkov led at the end of the first round, 2-0. Walt escaped in three seconds of the second period, only to be taken down before the period was five seconds old. On his back, and momentarily in trouble, the wily 177pounder pulled a beautiful reverse and pulled off the pin. All this fa &t action took place in just fifteen seconds. Senior Jack Izower, co-captain of the Beavers, turned in the only win when he was awarded the decision in the 147-pound bout with Ron Bienkowski. The score at the end of the bout was 1-1, but lzower had a time advantage and saved the meet from being a shutout. Gerard Seniek took a sturdy 130pounder, Ron Alter, by an 8-3 score. Tunkhannock's Joe Morgan, at 137, won a solid, 6-1 decision from junior Ron Reis. Marv Antinnes displayed fine riding ability to register a 5-2 d~cision over J erry Horowitz in the 167-pound class, and heavyweight Bob Sislian took a 3-0 win from the other -Beaver co-captain Milt Gittleman after holding his man in check throughout the entire second period when he was "up" in the referee's position.

Dr. Cohen's original investigation involved animal experimentation and was re lated to certain problems in allergic reactions :to fish and shellfish. Dr. Cohen explained the research project to have been divided into three parts. !'First," he said, "we found that in some instances that certain vitamin preparations and pharmaceutical products of fish origin, were capable of causing allergic reactions. We then studied the relationships between eatable fish and shellfish that would explain allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. "Certain water insects are used in the preparations of commercial products are used as food for tropical fish and goldfish. We studied the properties of these insects that would indicate their potentiality in causing reactions in people who are a llergic to related eatable shellfish such as crab, lobster, and shrimp."

(see page 3) Vol. XXIII, No. 16 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA Applications Available For Government Loans Applications for loans under the Federal Aid to Students program are available in the Finance office. The loans will be available to students who need financial aid in order to complete college. The National Defense Student Loan plan was devised by the U. S. Government to help people who otherwise would either have to suspend their educations or drop out of college entirely because of financial need. Applicants must obtain the forms as soon as possible and submit their requests by February 20. Submission of the request, however, does not guarantee in any way that the applicant will receive the grant. Of the request for $3,836,435 made by colleges in the State of Pennsylvania, only $354,192 was granted, about one-tenth of the total. Of that amount, $7,847 has been alloted to Wilkes, far below the amount requested. The primary factor in determining who shall get a loan will be need. In addition to being needy, a student must be attending college full time and be in good standing. A certain preference will be given to those planning to be teachers, as well as to those majoring in such fields as science, mathematics, and engineering. Repayment plans for borrowers under this program are designed to give future teachers a reduction depending upon the number of years they teach. Others have the advantage of taking up to five years to repay the loans in the Federal government's plan to make a college education more readily available to those who now cannot afford it. A.

Ticket returns have been excellent, and the girls are putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a memorable evening of dancing and entertainment. Judy Richardson, general chairman of the affair, has announced th_at Her~ie Gree_n and his ~rchestra will provide mu~i~ for ~ancmg from 9 to 12. A rece1vmg !me composed of Dr. and Mrs. Doane, Dr. and Mrs. Symmons, Mary Homan, Judy Judy Richardson Richardson, and their dates will greet guests at the door. According to -inside sources the gym will be transformed into a fairyland of hearts, flowers, dove~, and cupids. Although decorations will revolve around the centraltheme of the dance; "Holiday of Hearts," the T.D.R. girls who usually come up· with the unusual, will add an abstract touch by using American beauty red, timid pink, and lavender in all decorations. The ceiling will be aqorned with multi·colored streamers which will meet at the center and be highlighted by a mobile chandelier of cascading hearts. The backdrop, always the main focus of interest, will be a two dimensional lacework pattern of hearts, doves, flowers, and cupids resulting in a three dimensional effect. According to two slightly prejudiced members of the backdrop committee it is "undescribably delicious." ---------------,,,.,, 2 W.C.

For those of you that missed getting your Beacon last week, we apologize. The system has two main features; first, Beacons will be left in five buildings on campus, excluding the Commons; second, the paper will _b e out well before noon and will therefore be available to students as they emerge from their 11 o'clock classes. For the most part the system worked, but we were unavoidably late in getting to campus with the paper and several students reported that they had not been able to find a copy of the Beacon anywhere on campus. We hope that this week's distribution will be better, bu_t we would appreciate any suggestions for improvement. Nice Going As mentioned above, we had some trouble with last week's issue of the Beacon. We have heard some comments to the effect that the issue 'Jl.'.aS not up to par and we feel that an explanation is required. Our Thursday schedule usually ends at 3 o'clock when the forms are put on the printing press. Last Thursday however, the linotype machine refused to operate and we were faced with the situation of having only a quarter of the copy set in type. At five o'clock we were seriously considering the possibility of cancelling the Beacon completely. Even if the machine could have been fixed, there was still over eight hours of work to be done before the paper could be ready for the press. The usual quitting time for the Schmidts is five o'clock and we never even considered asking them to stay overtime. As it turned out, we didn't have to ask - they just stayed there until 11 Thursday night and they were back on the job at 8 o'clock Friday morning. This kind of cooperation is not a common thing in the business world; it is, however, the kind of cooperation that Schmidt's Printery has been giving the Beacon for years. Ooops! We Did It Again! . Last Saturday night, Mr. Carl Zoolkoski brought to our attention the fact that one of our fillers contained a mis-statement. M~. Z?o1:Jcoski in_formed ~ that 70 _per cent of the University of M1am1 did not fail all their courses, 1t was 70 per cent of a physics class. If our mistake bothered anyone else, we can only say that we are sorry. -mjk CONGRATULATIONS Con~ratul<:1tions are in order from the Beacon to Mr. Stanley E. Schmidt, pnnter of the Beacon, on the occasion of his fortyseventh wedding anniversary on Saturday, February 14th and his sixty-ninth birthday anniversary on Monday, February 16th. >y Richard J.

By Assembly Speaker; Brotherhood Next Week ~ by Lee Baiera Dr. Stefan Osusky, noted Ozecho- · slovakian statesman, gave a · dynamic, informative talk entitled "The_ Way of the Free" at Tuesday1s assembly. Since Dr. Osusky just came back from a three months stay in Europe, he began his talk by sharing some of his latest experiences with the student body. He said that the struggle for . domination between the free world and the communist countries was no longer a struggle of military might but an economic one. He also said that the United States is economically no longer independent. Osusky stated that Khruschev commented that in 1970 Soviet Russia is going to outstrip the production of the United States. Dr. Osusky has a diverse and renowned background. In World War I he was the youngest collaborator of President Thomas Masaryk and was one of the founders of Czechoslovakia. From 1920 to 137 he represented his country at the Assembly of the League of Nations. For his exceptional service given to Czechoslovakia, this country awarded him the Karlik Prize, the Czechoslovakian Nobel Prize. From January, 1921, until the fall of France, Dr. Osusky served as minister of Czechoslovakia to France. When France fell, he took refuge in London. There he became a member of the Czechoslovakian government in exile and of the Legislative State Council, organized on British soil after the fall of France. During the past four years Dr. Osusky has been a Visiting Professor of European Civilization and Culture at Colgate University. The work of this great statesman has not been limited only to his native Czechoslovakia. He has received decorations from France, Poland, Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania, Luxembourg, Bolivia, and Chile. Next Assembly Featured speaker at next Tuesday's assembly will be Dr. Abraham Barras of Temple Israel, South River Street. The assembly will mark the observance of Brotherhood Week in America - a week marked with special emphasis of the spiritual ties of the national and religious groups of the nation. _Dr. Barras is a prominent speaker in the Valley and has done much in promoting co-operll,tion among various peoples.

Last year he showed the spark of future-greatness when he finished fourth in the 200-yard butterfly swim in the MidAtlantics. His assault on the events thus far this season has made Carl one of the favorites to capture individual honors for the season. scored eight goals and was a very prominent reason why Coach Jim Ferris' charges finished with a very respectable 8-3 record.

Enti.tled "Relation of Susceptibility to Set to Recovery from Set," the paper is the result of the combined efforts of Dr. John Gaito and Michael Lozman, senior pshychology major, who will read it before the EPA. The paper is concerned with a variety of important factors having to do with the general area of problem-solving. The basic hypothesis on which the expreiment was conducted is that people can very easily be "set," that is, conditioned, to react in similar ways to similar stimului, and that there are certain stimulus conditions which are important in the development of "set," but that the individual characteristics are most important to the subject's recovery from "set."

Bedner, William (continued on page2) �2 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIAL - Friday, February 20, 1959 DEAN'S UST During the first semester the Student Government organized a student leaders conference. The conference was a resounding success as evidenced by the majority vote by the leaders to hold another session in the spring. The question . we would like to bring· upright now is: why hold these productive meetings only twice a year? What is the argument against having regular meetings of the leaders on campus? Let's face the facts, we need more cooperation between campus groups. We have, in the past month or so, heard complaints that one group is deliberately trying to out-do every other group on campus. There seem to be some toes being stepped on, according to the rumor. We personally can not see why there should be . any bad feeling about a group trying to get ahead, but nevertheless, there it is. A student leaders conference might be able to clear up this feeling, if such a meeting does not solve the problem, at least everyone will know where everyone else stands. Another factor in favor of more frequent meetings is that clubs will be in a better position to assist each other in activities and problems. As an example, we have an idea that the CCUN will be needing some help with their Model General Assembly in April. An organized unit of clubs could and should help. How are these far-flung organizations going to know that they may be needed? They might get a throw-away notice in their mailbox. Unfortunately, the nickname given to these mimeographed sheets is often their fate also, they get thrown away. A mimeographed noticed is, to us, a rather cold, impersonal and incomplete way of explaining anything in the first place. Student leaders, if they live up to their title, should want to lead the student body as a whole, not just the small group that ha:epens to be in the organization that they are leading. All too often we see and hear about clubs that are trying to do some constructive good for the college but are failing because they have not gotten the full cooperation that they need to achieve their goals. Why? Because the groups who could give help either do not know, understand ·or care about the project. This problem can be easily eliminated by having meetings of the people who are supposedly running the show the student leaders. The November 17, 1950 issue of the Beacon carries a front page story about the Inter-Club Council, an organization that consisted . of the presidents and editors on campus. If the students felt a need for a council of this sort when the student body totaled much less than it does now, why don't we feel the need for it? You may want to blame the lack of interest on the socalled poor spirit that everyone cries about. The fact of the matter is that school spirit hit an all-time high on campus right after the first student leaders meetings. If you do not believe us, take a look at one of last year's Beacons and then compare it with a Beacon of this year. You will find that there is almost twice the amount of activities this year than there were last year. We believe that there is a definite corelation between the student leaders conference and the improved school spirit. Why should we neglect a good thing? We cannot continue to push everything off on the Student Government, they can not handle everything, nor should they have to. In our opinion the only way to get together is to get together at least once a month. Until we all realize this, we will continue to be a go-home-after-the-lastclass campus. -mjk LETTER to the EDITOR To: The Students of Wilkes College Subject: Winter 'Carnival The following are excerpts from letters received from Walt Fossa, an owner of Pocono Mountain Inn, after the Winter Carnival. January 30, 1959 "We also discovered that four of our blue "No Parking" signs are missing and were torn off the two benches by our lucky maple tree, off one pole and one tree. One of the four was on the ground and broken in half horizontally. The cost for making· these signs this past Fall was $2.50 each, or a total of $10.00." "Someone took along the bridge stick used on the pool table." "The cost for this Challenger .B ridge with head made by Brunswick - Balke - Collender Co. was $2.50." • February 5, 1959 "One thing we omitted from our letter of January 30, was a deer's head missing from the little coat rack room." "In speaking with one of the other large resort managers that once entertained you, we were told that they would never again entertain a Wilkes College group. We hope that you will reply to our previous letter and make good on this deer's head, or we too will join in their attitude." In reply to our query as to the value of the deer's head, Mr. Fossa sent the following reply: "You mention 'damages are something a resort owner should be well accustomed to and accept as an overhead experience.' I've got news for you. We seldom experience the lifting ·of items by guests. In fact, your group has been the first in twelve months to do this.'' "The deer's head was my first personal trophy from hunting. It cost $25.00 but you can't replace the sentimental value." On February 3, the Student Government passed by a unanimous vote a motion to pay $12.50 for the missing "No Parking" signs and the missing bridge stick. This in no way excuses the actions of those individuals who participated in these offenses. P etty larceny and vandalism cannot be excused simply by saying "students will be students, you know.'' The theft of the deer's head poses a more serious problem, not because of the monetary value, but because of the social implications. At the stake is the reputation of an entire student body and perhaps each individual graduate of that student body. I hardly think these reasons are of any importance to the guilty person or persons. But they are important to the innocent.

(continued from page I) by Fred Roberts Again last week we were rather strongly reminded that the United States faces a very grave challenge from the Soviet Union. Dr. Osusky, the renowned Czech patriot, was surprisingly objective, in his presentation in assembly, of the Russian menace. He did not. as so many refugees from Communism did, tell us that the Soviet satellites, in a state of swelling unrest, are ripe for revolution and U. S. intervention. Rather he said that the U.S.S.R. by "rationalizing" the economic relationships among the Soviet countries and because of its monolithic, dynamic, imperialistic totalitarianism system, resting on substantial theoretic grounds, has solidified Communist control. One of the ideas from his talk that I would like to consider here involves these realities of world economics. The other, presented earlier in his address in another connection has implications that can serve 'as a conclusion to what I am going to suggest.

Ted; the Colonels' scrappy 157-pound matman, continued his undefeated skein by pinning Don .Steele, Lycoming's veteran wrestler, in 3 :44. The pin set Coach John Reese's charges on the path to victory after the Warriors had built up a 13-3 lead. The victory was number five for the freshman grappler who also registered his third pin of the season. Although young in years, Ted is old in "wrestling know-how" as his L&Mis Lovv i~ tar Ted Toluba father has been coaching him since he was "knee-hig h." All this training proved itself when Ted got to the semi-finals of the Wilkes Open Wrestling Tourney before losing a close decision. This result was significant to Colonel wrestling followers as Ted's great showing in his inter-collegiate tournament wrestling debut proved the middle weights of the Blue and Gold squad are in good hands for the next four years.

That win put the Colonels ahead, 5-3, a lead they never relinquished. ~ In the l:l7-pound bout, Joe Mor:,;an produced the most solid performance of his career, defeating Bob Hartman on a 3-0 decision. Morgan reversed Ha1,tman within 15 seconds of the second period, then showed masterful control to ride out the rest of that period and all of the third in the driver's seat. .. Ted Toluba and Joe Herr tangled in what has to be the bout of the year. Ted took his man down three times in the first period, Herr reversed once, escaped once and the frantic period ended with Toluba ahead, 7-3. Herr was on top in the second, got three points for a near fall, then Toluba took over. Ahead 7-6, he got two points for a reversal, one point for a predicament, and three points for a near fall in less than 30 seconds. Then, ahead 13-6, he recorded the second Wilkes fall in 5 :08. Marv Antinnes completed the ,Wilkes wins with a beautiful performance, icing the meet with a 6-0 win over Skip Taylor. Walt! Glogowski had his winning streak broken when he lost, 3-2, on riding time to Dave Thomas. Dick Stauffer lost to Cleon Cassel's brilliant tight-waist tactics, 7-0, in the 123-pound class. Ron Bienkowski looked good :°against the mat-wise veteran Neil LeLozier, but lost a 6-0 decision. Heavyweight Bob Sislian fell t'o Charles Pfrommer in 2 :36. Come from Behind A packed gym at Williamsport, with better than sixty Colonel fans to support their t eam, saw one of the most thrilling come-from-behind wins in r ecent years, as the Wilkesmen downed a strong Lycoming squad, 18-13, last Saturday. The win came on three beautiful performances turn ed in by T ed To- The Colonels will be counting on the advantage of their home court to bring about an improvement on their seasonal record. The game will be the first of the final home stand which will close the season for the Blue and Gold.

Marv Antinnes, at 16'7, cradled Gail Frye halfway th rough th e second period, got three points for a near-fall, then, from his back, pinned Frye with 48 seconds in the round. The fall tied the meet at 13-13. Then Walt Glogowski came roaring out, and nailed 177 pound Warrior Don Dyke with a crotch-cradle hold after a takedown in just 29 seconds. With only 40 seconds elapsed, the referee's hand signalled another Wilkes fall. The scoreboard showed Lycoming trailing, 18-13. Heavyweight Bob Sislian only had to keep John Wilbur at bay to insure the victory. In doing so, he was required to play "cautious" and lost, 4-3. The loss, however, insured the meet win, 18-16. Dick Stauffer started the Colonels off on the i·ight foot with an exciting 7-3 win over Al Hazzard with his deceptive, "upside-down" style. In the 130 pound class, Gerard Senick ran into trouble, losing a high-scoring bout to Bill Kehrig by a 7-5 count. Mike Armstrong, in his first appearance of the year at 137 pounds, ran against Middle Atlantic 137 runner-up Harry Rohmig. The Warrior showed the fans a splendid variety of holds and led Armstrong 9-0 when he recorded a fall in 1 :16 of the second period. Armstrong displayed a great deal of courageous effort, but was no match for the sensational Warrior captain. Joe Morgan moved up t en pounds to the 147 pound class to take on Bob Pac and suffered the same fate, but not without throwing a good scare into Pac. Morgan led, 2-0, GOALS FOR PICTONITES Posting a record of one legitimate and two forfeit wins the Colonel swimming team travels to Lycoming tomorrow to test the Warriors for the second time this season. The natator squad may again have to spot an opposing team eight points before the contest starts. In their attempt to attain a legitimate .500 SE•a son, Coach Picton's team may have to do without the services of star diver Clete Miller.

Any student or faculty member who feels that they are qualified to hold this position are urged to contact Director of Athletics Ralston. Also any students interested in trying out for the "racket" team are. urged to contact Ira Himmel. Three known lettermen returning for this year's competition are: Jack Thomas, Paul Bleifer, and Ira Himmel. Bill Woll, a transfer student, will be eligible to compete this year and should be a valuable asset in the team's favor. Two lettermen who were lost via the graduation route are Jim Hennighan and Bill Savitsky. at the end of the first period, but Pac ;.eversed l)im within 30 seconds of the second period and required only 18 more seconds to register a pin. Lycoming then led by 13-3 and things looked black for Coach Reese, who then unleashed the "terrible trio," who iced the meet for Wilkes.

Freshman sprinter Art Eckhart has shown more and more improvement as the season has progressed until now he can be counted on for an almost sure five points in either the 50 or 100 yard freestyl e sprints. Another factor that might tip the scales in the favor of the Wilkes squad is the possible loss of Lycoming's best 220 and 440 yard man, Sam Thompson. Thompson was hospitalized with a concussion when he failed to negotiate the first turn in a 220 yard freestyle event against Wilkes two weeks ago. Pat Shovlin and Ken Selody will be the mainstays for the Blue and Gold in the backstroki,ng events, with Shovlin probably also competing in the rigorous butterfly event. Walt Zionkowski will also be another starter in the short distance events. Letterman Bernie Wahalla will be out to better his time in the 440 along with another newcomer in the aquatic scene, Jake Zook. Jake has been steadily decreasing his time in the long distance grind. Berrill Friedman, another Picton stalwart, has been steadily improving on his time and has been showing an increasing fondness for gathering team points. He will also be counted on to bring home the bacon for Beacon readers. This will be the last Colonel swimming meet of the year and the team members are exuding a real aura of self-confidence for the first time since rthe natator acti vity has been re-activated. squad and has built the nucl eus of his team around these boys.

The contest was close all th;-;.--;;:,, being a hard-fought battle with a minimum number of fouls. The biggest lead of 8 points was held by Wilkes near the end of the game~ Center Ron Roski was high man• for Wilkes with 22 points. The· majority of his total came on spectacular shots under the boards. Fran Mikolanis came through with 16 tallies and rebounded well. Guard George Gacha added to the cause with 11 counters and Bernie Radecki hit long jump shots and finished with 10 points. Monday th e Davismen journeyed to Huntingdon, Pa. and en ~ountered the Juniata Indians. Final score: Juniata 80, Wilkes 64. The Colonels played excellent ball at the start of the first half and led the Indians for 15 minutes. The attack then bogged down and Juniata took the lead at half time. The Blue and Gold came baok strong at the start of the second half, narrowing the Juniata lead to 8 points, but once again the..drive stalled and the home t eam went on to win. Ron Roski was high man for the Colonels with 16 points, Fran Mikolanis netted 14 tallies, and Bernie Radecki garnered 13. Radecki suffered a n ear-serious accident at the start of the contest when his glasses were shattered and pieces of glass entered his eye. However, "Doc" Davis operated on the floor and Bernie stayed in the game and performed in his u sual fine manner. The Colonels were unable to corral Juniata's high scoring small man, Don Burnich, who poured 28 counters through the cords. Last Thursday Wilkes traveled to Ithaca, N.Y. and were defeated by the Ithaca College Bombers by the score of 111-73. 5 GOLF LETTERMEN RETURN TO TEAM The golf t eam had its first r egular meeting last Tuesday with Coach Welton Farrar.

Two Organizations Plan Big Spring Celebration by Florence Gallagher Tentative plans are now being made for a "sping weekend" to be held April 11. Sponsored by the school spirit committee and the inter-dormitory council, the "'spring weekend" will provide a day of enjoyment for the student of Wilkes. Although no definite plans have been made, festivities will include an outing in the afternoon and open house in four Wilkes dormitories in the evening with a "combo" in each dorm to play for dancing.

Ralston and his family on the recent passing of his father. Our Reputation at Stake Aftex last week's letter to the editor and the facts contained therein, we begin to wonder at the obvious lack of thought by the student body in general. The request by the owners of Pocono Mountain Inn not to bring "hard" beverages to the Winter Carnival was ignored along with all the common rules of decency. M embers of the student body not only found it necessary to bring their own, but they also found it necessary to take a few things home with them. The exchange. of merchandise was not equal. or do we have to mention it? The reputation of the student body of Wilkes took a tremendous drop after the much debated carnival. They managed to smuggle out several no parking signs, a bridge stick, and the stuffed head of a deer. If this little incident doesn't cancel any future reservations that we might have made with the Inn, nothing ever will. No one in their right mind will ever take on a Wilkes group after this year. Frankly, we can't blame the owners of carnival sites for refusing to allow their places to be picked clean of anything movable. The All-Powerful The first editorial we wrote way back in September advocoted the acceptance of the revised constitution of the student body. We will now proceed to saw off the limb that we climbed out on at that time by finding fault with the constitution. To be a member of the student government, one must have that mythical thing called the "cumulative '2' average." This, as we understand it, is to protect both the student and the college. As the story goes, the student with the 2 is supposed to be able to devote more time to the organization because he is not bothered by excessive hours of study. On the other hand, the student with a 1.99, or lower, average is required to study so much that he will not be able to do justice to his position as a representative to the Student Government. This, we regret, is as we understand it. Anyone who considers this and other reasons for the allpowerful 2, will begin to wonder just exactly what the individual student has to say in the matter. Right now, he has nothing to b h Ir d h d h h h say ecause e a ea y a is say w en e voted for the installation of the constitution. We look at it this way; there has to be a line drawn somewhere along the grade line if only for the protection of the extracurricular crazy student. Some people ca~heerfully plod along in three or four__ activities while they are, at--the same time, on probation. This student obviously needs some'--l:es_triction because he has shown no sense in planning his activities. But s ince when are we, undergraduates, so thoroughly trained that we might set such a limit on ourselves? Administrators have set a minimum requirement for graduation. That minimum average is a 1.85, not a 2! If we are to leave the constitution as it stands now, we are saying in effect that it is more difficult to be a member of the Student Government or a president of a class than it is to graduate. If anyone should ask us, we will be only too happy to tell them that we would much rather get that little piece of parchment than be a member of the Student Government or the president of our class. If the administration is willing to allow a student with a 1.85 average to graduate, we should be willing to let him represent us on the Student Government or as our class president. We also advocate a change so that sophomore representatives not be required to have more than a 1.4 and the juniors a 1. 7, as it is required for admission to the class. For those of you who are about to sit down and call us a traitor for changing our view, we suggest that you check back in the first issue in September. The editorial we wrote referred and commented only on the changes in the constitution, we made no mention to the already existing clauses. This allmighty 2 is not a change, unless you want to be technical. In the days of the old constitution, the grade was a 'C', now it is a '2'. -mjk WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the •s tudents of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

A Student Leaders Conference, vital to student knowledge of college policies and practices, will be held next Thursday at 6 :30 p.m. in the Commons, second floor. Under the auspices of Student Government, the meeting is designed to acquaint students with problems and policies through the leaders of campus clubs and organizations. A similar meeting in September proved interesting and informative. All class officers, class council members, club or organizational officials - appointed or elect ed, and any interested students a re invited and urged to attend. Gordon Roberts, general chairman of the Conference, has revealed that several important matt ers will be discussed; e.g., new Student Government policies ; old policies still in effect ; Administration policies on such matters as: grading system, intercollegiate activities, for ms, etc., and the Honor System. Eit her Roberts or Student Government President Bob Pitel will act as chairman and moderator at the very important discussion.

GRAPPLER Booster Night Planned Aller 30-4 Moravian 'Warm-Up' 5 :18 Pin and 3-0 Defeat Earn Award for 137-lb. Point-getting Grappler . Joe Morgan is named "Athlete" with t he adjective "tremendous" not inclusive enough to herald his talents. Joe's 3-0 victory over previously undefeated Hartman of Franklin & Marshall College was enough to set hearts beating faster, but the clincher cam e when Joe came on again Friday night to slap another good wrestler's shoulders to th e mat and hold them for the r eq uired 3 seconds during the Moravian meet. Joe is not a newcomer to the Wilkes athletic scene, he took the "Athlete" award during the soccer season and filled in the 147 pound slot very nicely on last year's championship wrestling team. Although the wrestling team has had a long streak of victories, this is the first season that they have ·. been unbeaten and untied and Joe is one of the major point-getters that has made this possible. He has always been an aggressive type grappler, but this year his attitude on the mat seems to have changed enough so that he always has his opponent on the defensive. Joe might have acquired additional motives along with a new Joe Morgan bride. Last year he was married to a former Wilkes coed and they are presently residing in Forty Fort. Before coming to Wilkes Joe attended Girard College where he lettered on the wrestling team four years running. He also captained the grapplers in his senior year. HAVffiA PACES TEAM IN FINA.LE, WARRIORS AVEN·GE EARLY LOSS by Morgan Davis The Lycoming swimmers struck back in their second contest of the season with the Wilkesmen to gain a 51 to 37 victory. Coach Picton's splashers were afflicted with the maladies of cramps, forfeits, and disqualifications in their efforts to beat the Warriors in their home pool. With the Lycoming pool only 20 yards long, not the required 25 yard pool, the Colonels had a rough time of it last Saturday as they started out by dropping the first r elay, a medley 400 yard event, to the hard kicking Williamsport men. The next event showed the "Ironman," Carl Havira up to his old tricks in the 220 freestyle; he topped the field of contestants to win the event almost two full lengths ahead of his nearest competitor. Again in the 200 yard butterfly, "the roughest grind in swimming," Havira showed his heels and took an easy first place. Jake Zook, usually the Wilkes distance man, surprised the pack by pulling into the second place slot. The "Ironman" was also way ahead in the 200 yard breaststroke when he was disqualified on a t echnicality. Teammate Zook again took up some slack in the score with a first place in what is normally Havira's best event. Art Eckhart, freshman sprinter for the Colonels, was ruled second in one of the most disputable calls in Wilkes swimming history. Art took second in this 50 yard freestyle event while another Wilkes cohort, Walt Zionkowski, came in for the third. Again in the 100 yard freestyle, catastrophe seemed to dog the heels of Mr. Eckhart, as he was hauled from the pool with a bad case of stomach cramps. ·B errill Friedman saved part of the show when he copped the second place in the event. . . . After domg his part m the 400 medley relay, Pat Shovlin broke his 200 yard_ backstroke time with a fast 2 mmutes, 57 seconds to take a sure first place from the Warriors. Ken Selody also came in for an additional counter in that cont est. In the 440 distance contest, Bernie Wahalla seemed to be unwinding for the first time since last season as he came in for an easy second place. The Colonels forfeited the diving event to lose another 8 points and the meet. BOOSTER NIGHT Support Your BASKETBALL TEAM Tomorrow Night · +************************************************ Eddie Davis' Wilkes College cage squad m eets one of the top independent t eams on the eastern seaboard tomorrow night on the home court. The Philadelphia Textile Rams, coach ed by Walter 'Bucky' Harr is and sporting a 15 won - 3 lost r ecord, will invade the Wilkes gym at 8 :00 p.m. Last year the Rams, though beaten by Wilkes, r eceived a bid to play in the Eastern Regional At Large Tournament and are pointing for another bid to the same tourney this season. Philadelphia Textile will be led by Bob Simons, sophomore guard, the scpring leader in the Delaware Va lley area. Bob has amassed 424 points for a 23.8 average per game. The Rams also possess a fin e center in 6 feet - 3 inch Bob Molmgern who leads the team in rebounds. A booster night is being planned for this big game with all the high school basketball squads and their coaches being invited to attend. Student participation is also requested to make this project a success. Albright Game Wednesday night, Wilkes will close its basketball campaign on the home floor when they face the Albright Lions from Reading, Penna. Game time is 8 :00 p.m. The Lions have compiled a record of 10 wins and 12 losses this season under the direction of Coach Will Renken. Fred Dietzel is the scoring leader for the Lions, averaging 19 points per game. He will be aided by Stan Kaminski and Sam Preston who are also averaging scores in double figures. Saturday Night's Results Last Saturday night the Wilkes Colonels came through with their best played game of the campaign and a victory over Hartwick College. Final score: Wilkes 92, Hartwick 79. With five men hitting in double figures, the Blue and Gold took command early in the contest and never r elinquished their advantage. Fran Mikolanis returned to his high-scoring form by zipping 26 points through the hoop. Center Ron Roski played one of the best games of his Wilkes College career. He scored 21 tallies and was a tower of strength off the boards. George Gacha hit for 16 counters and played a good floor game. Clem Gavenas, sophomore guard, came through with 13 markers and sparkled on defense. Bernie Radecki produced 11 points and led the Wilkes fast-break attack. I COLONELETIES BEAT BLOOMSBURG GIRLS by Lee Baiera On Wednesday, February 18, the Wilkes Colonelettes p 1 a y e d at Marywood and were defeated, 79 to 29. In the first quarter, the score was even, however, in the second quarter, Marywood took the lead, and the Colonelettes were unable to catch up to them. High scorers for the Colonelettes were Florence Billings and Sylvia Trewern, ten points, and Beverly Major, nine points. Although the Colonelettes made seven out of thirteen shots, the Marywoodians marched on to victory. Wilkes vs. Bloomsburg On Saturday, February 21, the Colonelettes defeated the Bloomsburg Varsity "B" Club at Bloomsburg. In this game Wilkes took the lead and kept it to win the game, 37 to 16. High scorers for this game were Carol Thomas and Sylvia Trewern, eleven points, Florence Billings, by Richard J. Myers Seeking their third consecutive title in the annual Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling tournament, the Wilkesmen are at Hofstra College tonight. The defending champions enter the contest as light favorites to take a n unprecedented third crown. Ted Toluba and Marv Antinnes are the Coloneh' two unbeaten entrants. Coach Reese's cha rges went unscathed t hrough a brief, seven-meet season , running into difficulty only with th e a lways powerful Franklin and Marshall team, and with a s~rprisingly strong Lycoming crew. Last Friday night the matmen re fused to believe the press clippings of the Moravian Greyhounds a nd came out of the 'Hounds kennel with a resounding 30-4 win. Bill Rink er, highly-touted 123pound er for Moravian, gave Dick Stauffer a rough tussle, but Stauffer's puz.zling style was too much fe r the flashy fr eshman from Bethlehem. Stauffer spent much of the first. period on his back, then picked up· three points on a: near-fall in thesecond. He was reversed then~ but Jed 7-6 . going into the third round. A wild and wooly final period saw Stauffer come out on top, 10-6, and the parade was on. Jerry Senick met game Dave Cornelius in the 130-pound bout and Marv Antinnes got a takedown midway through the first round, rode throughout the second, reversed Cornelius in the · third, then drove like a man possessed to turn in a solid fall at 7 :31. . Joe Morgan pinned 137 pounder Bob Sallish in 5 :18, to put the Colonels ahead, 13-0. Morgan, fresh from his sensational win over Hartman of F&M, looked even better at Moravian and got the nod as this · week's "Athlete of the Week" for his efforts. Moravian broke into the scoring for the first time when Ron Bienkowski and Dan Turner wrestled to a 1-1 draw in the 147-pound class. Ted Toluba met ex-gridder Bob Silvetz in the 157 bout and turned the halfback every way but loose t ,:) ring up a hard-earned 7-1 win. Toluba nearly pinned his man on several occasions, but had to settle for the decision, his third of the £Eason and seventh straight win. Four o.f his wins have come on falls.

Dick Stauffer SCIENCE LECTURE N• Y• U• DEPT• HEAD WILL SPEAK TUESDAY by Jean Shofranko by Richard J. Myers Staving off a determined try by Lycoming, the Colonels retained their Middle Atlantic wrestling supremacy last weekend at Hofstra College, rolling up 63 points to win the crown for the third straight year. Wilkes duplicated last year's domination of the annual tournament by coming out on top with three gold-medal champions, Dick Stauffer, Ted Toluba, and Marv Antinnes. To Stauffer, Colonel 123-pound stalwart, went the honor of clinching the victory. Lycoming needed three wins in the final rounds to have any chance of scoring enough to topple the champions, and Stauffer met Al Hazzard of Lycoming in the 123 final. He trailed Hazzard, who put him in trouble in the first round, but escaped early in the second period to tie the bout, then scored a takedown to go ahead. The two exchanged takedowns in the final period and Stauffer won, 7-5. Toluba met King of Muhlenberg • th e 157 fl na l , an d ·be came th e m second Wilkes titleholder with , a fine 3-2 decision.

"This year we will take our lumps." So said wrestling coach John Reese at the start of the season. The "lump" turned out to be one of solid gold, the Middle Atlantic wrestling championship plaque. Lycoming tried, but no team could stop the inspired Colonels from taking their third straight title. This, according to Reese, was to be the rebuilding year, the time to test previously untested talent on the mats. If this is a rebuilding team, then we would hate to see the opposition next year - they won't know what hit them. In our opinion this is the best showing ever made by a Wilkes team. Consider the fact that four of the varsity wrestlers were competing in their first year of college grappling, this is exactly one-half of the squad. If you still are doubtful, check into the teams they beat: F. and M., Ithaca, and Lycoming among others. These teams do not rate the title "cream puff" in our book; they are tough to beat, yet the Colonels defeated them. Our wrestlers smashed their way to seven straight victories this year, not an unprecedented record to be sure, but certainly one to be proud of. The sports world is not exactly our 'line' but you don't have to be an expert to know when a team deserves all the credit in the world for a fine showing. Congratulations! The Answer Man Every president of every organization on campus has been bombarded, via Chase Hall mail box route, with queries about his organization in connection with the self-evaluation going on. These question sheets are usually printed on white paper, · in what we call "final exam blue" ink. The ditto machine has been working until all hours of the night turning out these articles of torture. The various committee chairmen on the evaluation committee want to know ALL, nothing can be hidden from their probing questions. For instance, one innocent-looking paper contained this loaded line: name the officers of your organization for the years between 1948 and 1959. We tried, but had to give up on that one. Some presidents, however, have emerged, dusty, but victorious, from stacks of old records with the answer. On the other hand, some of our 'leaders' have discarded in disgust the _carefully planned question sheets. Why? Because they require that old stopper, work. These questions were not dreamed up by some underworked faculty member who had nothing to do. They have a purpose. We grant that that purpose is not too generally known right now, but underneath it all, there is a reason. Let's get those answers returned to the proper person, it won't hurt. We realize that there is some duplication of effort, but that just makes the questions easier. Once you have looked up the answer for the first one, it is easy to write it down for the second committee. Some of the questions may seem silly (witness the one asked the Beacon: How are the students of the campus made aware of your organization?) but they must be answered sooner or later. We suggest that you save yourself embarrassment and answer them now. The Butler Did It We have been hearing some drastic statements around campus this week about the men from Butler Hall. It seems that the dormitory is holding a dance with the profit going to the families concerned with the recent mine disaster. Since the junior class decided to use its calendar date for a closed party, Wilkes was left without a Friday night dance, something that hasn't happened in years. The men of Butler, however, have not only provided us with a dance, but they have also added the incentive of having charity benefit. It is nice to see a group do something like this once in a while. Most of you who have ever sponsored a dance realize the work involved. At the end of that work, however, is the money-counting, the knowledge that you may not go into the red after all. Butler Hall, however, is just doing the work and waiving the bank book angle of the proposition. At least they will have the satisfaction of knowing that their work has not gone for nothing, they will have done a great service not only for the community, but also for the name of the college. -mjk WILKES COLLEGE BEACON A newspaper published each week of the regular school year by and for the students of Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Some advantages to consolidation, as stated by Dr. Rosenberg, are: increased population of WilkesBarre, from approximately 66,000 to 200,000; more national advertising for the local newspapers; a bigger attraction for industrial concerns; general economic improvement. Consolidation would also be a step toward solution of regional transportation, health, and air pollution problems. Dr. Rosenberg stated some of the disadvantages which might arise from consolidation. Questions to be considered are the following: What would happen to the police departments?

The date of the show is May 6. Highlighting the meeting was a demonstration of various floral arrangements by Mr. Anthony Broody of Broody's Floral Shop, Plymouth. Mr. ,B roody, assisted by Miss Sophie Kancher, showed some of the many "tricks of the trade" in making corsages, hospital bouquets, and artificial coloring of flowers. Finished floral arrangements were then passed among the sorority members in attendance. Bio Club Beard Dance Next Friday in Gym by Lee Baiera Brush up those beards, men! Next Friday the Biology Club will sponsor the Fourth Annual Beard Dance at the gym from 9 to 12. Admission price for the dance is 50 cents. The men of Wilkes have been growing their beards for a long time, and the dance should prove to be interesting and laughable. Congressman Daniel J . Flood has accepted an invitation to be one of the judges, unless he is called out of town on congressional business. Mr. Welton G. Farrar will be the other judge. The jud.g ing of the beards will take place during intermission, and prizes will be awarded to the lucky men.

As many of us expected, there were no resounding speeches made, no momentous decisions arrived at and the meeting will probably not go down in the annals as the anything spectacular. It was however, a success in less tangible ways. The mere fact that forty students found the time and the energy fo come to the meeting and air their views is a large measure of "spirit." Suggestions were made to alleviate some of the problems; some of the solutions were good, some poor and some downright bad, but at least everyone knew how everyone else stood at the end of the session. In a meeting of this sort it is usually the case that the mop-up is left to one organization. The Student Government was the catch-all for the unanswered questions and the problems to be taken up. 1111111111111111 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I IJ11 A report from Butler Hall on last Saturday's benefit dance, the proceeds from which will go to the Port Griffith Disaster Fund: Gross Profits: Dance receipts, 144 pd. $ 72.00 149.75 Raffle Refreshments 9.60 $231.35 Expenses: Printing of raffle and dance tikets Thank you cards and Envelopes Coke purchases $ 12.00 .60 4.40 4.40 He Went That-a-Way Perhaps one of the newest topics to come under discussion was the case of the disappearing chaperon. We were not aware of the fact that chaperons were hard to find, both before and during the dances here on campus. Quite a bit of talk came from the fact that a list of faculty members willing to chaperon a dance is not , available. We personally can not see why one should be. It should be a compliment to be .asked to chaperon an affair, but it seems to be a much-disliked chore. If any of the complaining students thought about it long enough they would probably see why. Who wants to go to a dance, sit in the ~ack of the gym and be generally ignored by all the students ·at the dance? Some students do, we admit, make an attempt to pass the time of night with the neglected faculty member, but the relationship is a strained and hurried one. The day may come when students attending a dance will realze that the faculty are guests and should be treated as such. Do you invite a person to your home, free of course, and then let him sit in the livingroom and ignore him? Why do it at a dance? A guest is a guest, no matter where he is; at your home or at a sport dance or formal in the gym. A list is not the solution; a little bit of friendliness could go a long way.

The student discount seats are being offered to students and teachers at $3.45. They are orchestra seats, normally costing $6.90. "J.B.," starring Christopher Plummer, Raymond Massey and James Daly, has won extraordinary praise from the New York and national Press. In the N.Y. Times :Brooks Atkinson referred to it as "one of the memorable· works of the century." At this writing it has just been nominated for five "Tonys" by The American Theatre Wing. In fact, "J.B." has received international critical claim. Archibald MacLeish is a two time Pulitzer Prize winner, a former Librarian of Congress, and one of America's foremost men of letters. Elia Kazan has achieved stellar status for his direction of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Tea and Sympathy," and "Skin of Our Teeth." "J.B." is being presented by Alfred de Liagre, Jr., noted for his production of "Voice of the Turtle," "Madwoman of Chaillot," and "Janus." Special Student Discount Plan blanks, for use either by mail or at the ANTA Theatre box office, have been sent to the Chairman of the English Department and the Director of Public Relations. Additional supplies of these student discount forms may be had by writing Alfred de Liagre, Jr., 55 West 42 nd Street, New York 36, New York. Self-Evalualion program Now 0n by Connie Stukowski Early last fall Wilkes began an extensive self-evaluation program which will continue until January of 1960. This program is part of the preparation for the re-accreditation of the college by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Learning. The evaluation itself is an analysis of the college's total educational effectiveness made by its own staff, its students, and alumni, the people best qualified to do it and to whom it means the most. The basic purpose is to give these interested people a clearer concept of what they want the college to be, and thus to stimulate a new surge of common effort to develop and improve the entire institution. At the present time the major portion of the work is being handled by the faculty with Mr. George Elliot serving as the general chairman. There is als.o a co-ordinating committee consisting of Mr. Elliot, Mr. Robert Riley, Dr. Eugene Hammer, and Dr. Francis Miehelini. Each member of the faculty is participating in the various phases of the self-evaluation. They are concerned with four major groups: the admission policy; student personnel and counseling; interviewing s t u d en t s an d a Iumm• t o get reactions, such as success in one's life work; and an appraisal of the faculty and school fa cilities. The faculty holds meetings at which time they discuss their findings and make recommendations. Substantial progress has been made on several of the phases. Mr. Elliot reports that considerable information has been assembled concerning the objectives of the college, the admissions policy, the organization and administration of the college, It's easy to tell friends from ene- the curriculum, the college catamies. Your friends will tell you logue and the faculty. In the futo shut up. ture the committee hopes to gain information on finances, school facilities, the library, student personnel services, extra-curricular activities, and special programs, such as teacher training. The final phase of the self-evaluation will concern the students and alumni. In all probability students and alumni will be given interviews and polls. In using these methods the evaluating committee hopes to determine how well the college has Luzerne been able to accomplish what it set out to do.

The whole is equal to the sun, of its parts ( But some of its parts are more equal than others!) This was just one of the outstanding performances 'The Gooch' turned in this season. Many of his great games saw him playing the role of the playmaker while ranking second or third in the scoring column, although hampered by an injured ankle this year. George "ripped the nets" with a season's average of 15 points per game. This is George's third season as a starter, and the junior co-<:aptain has amassed 881 points in a Blue and Gold uniform in that time. Last season his playing ability was honored when he was named to th e Middle Atlantic Conference's AllStar second team. George is also active on the baseball field and has earned diamond letters the past two seasons. Sports seem to be George's middle name, as he has been active on the sports scene since his high school days at St. Mary's. It was here that he started his 'patented' jump shot from the wrong foot and starred in basketball and baseball. After graduation he entered the U.S. Navy where he really matured into the polished athlete of today. Evidently Gacha isn't superstitious - when playing third base with Sand Point he helped the team capture the title of the Naval District. Of the 13th Naval District, that is. But in service basketball George gave a clear indication of the sport in which he is chiefly known to Wilkes fans. As usual, it wouldn't have bee n a Gacha performance w ithout the capture of a few titles, and in the net sport George topped his r ecords in both baseball and football put together. George Gacha To begin with, he av eraged 20 points per game, a habit of his that still embarrasses opponents in cage tilts at the Colonel drillshed. Then, he was named captain of his squad, as well.

Coach Farrar has instituted a system of' eliminations for the squad that should allow him to field one of the best potential varsity t eams that the Mid-Atlantic Conf erence will see this year. The system rates the t eam m ember s on past performances from number one down to the lowest member on the t eam, then the individual squad m embers are allowed to challenge the person that is no more than two jumps on the scale ahead of him. The winner, of course, taking over the higher t eam position. The six man t eam that represents the Blue and Gold in actual play will be scored according to the Nassau system. There will be six individual matches with each match worth three team points. There is one point given for the winner of the first nine holes, another given for the second nine holes and the third point for the lowest total score. A tie for any of the points will give each player one half of a team point. In event the two teams end in a deadlock, the top two m en from both t eams will decide the outcome in a sudden death round. Wilkes golfers are well aware of this system of scoring, as they lost the last match of last season in a sudden death play-off to Mansfield State Teachers, 10-9. The first meet of this season will be against Hofstra, who took second place in last year's Mid-Atlantic Tourney. The squad will begin driving practice early next week in the Wilkes gym. The Jewish Community Center was good enough to lend the team a huge net for the indoor practice. GOLF April Away, 1:00 17-Hofstra Home, 3:00 22-Juniata 25-Lycoming .

The 265 eclipsed the previous high game of 255, set by his teammate, Emil Petrasek. Ray Yanchus was top man for the Teetotalers, who cooled the redhot Raiders, 3-1, to move from the cellar to fifth place. All of the Teetotalers finished with nearidentical series, two were tied for low with 452, Y anchus was high with 457.

PRESIDENT we Digging into the depths of our mailbox last Tuesday, discovered a very neatly printed outline of what could have become a nice front page story. But, as we said, it was an outline. The bare facts that were presented told us that there will be a Jazz Concert for College Students on March 26 at 7:45 in the Jewish Community Center. Also included was a list of "Northeastern Pennsylvania's Finest" jazz groups. These facts do not constitute a news story. We need things like the name of the sponsor, the price of the ticket, the committee chairmen, the program, and so forth. Questions such as "is it a dance, concert or both?" go unanswered. , Getting unsolicited news is one of the nicest parts of our job, but when it has to go to waste, it is nothing but a shame. Perhaps it is our fault that this type of thing happens. We should have raised our objections to incomplete stories and unsigned contributions earlier. In the future, put your name on the copy that you give to us. If possible, include your phone number or a number where you can be reached to answer further questions. We would appreciate it, and you will get better results when we can contact you for the complete story. mjk WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ...

TWO DORMITORIES SPONSOR 'DANTE'S INFERNO' 'TOMORROW Dr. Eugene Hammer, head of the Education Department, was elected to the presidency of the Pennsylvania Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for the Advancement of Teaching at the Association's annual meeting held at Harrisburg last week. The women of Weiss Hall and the men of Barre Hall, campus dormitories, have combined forces to provide entertainment on campus tomorrow night. They are sponsoring a campus-wide dance to be held in Barre Hall. The purpose of this affair is to promote school spirit by opening a dormitory function to the entire campus. The School Spirit Committee has also endorsed this dance and has offered its services toward making it a Dr. Hammer was chairman of success. the Friday afternoon sessions at A Word to the Wise •.. Next week there will be no issue of the Beacon; therefore, all reporters, organizational publicity directors, and club officers are invited and urged to attend an informal newswriting seminar, conducted by the Beacon editorial staff, Tuesday evening. The meeting will be held in the offices of the Beacon. third floor, 159 S. Franklin Street, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Many important features of writing, editing, copy-reading and proofreading, advertising procedures, and layout practices will be explained. For staff reporters, the meeting is essential. Anyone not on the staff, but interested in "going places" with the Beacon would do well to make every effort to attend the seminar. The meeting will be of particular interest and value to club officers, because they will get a glimpse into the workings of a newspaper and gain an understanding of some of the problems confronting an editor. Through this knowledge, they will be able to get the most publicity for their organizations at the least expenditure of effort and at a minimum of confusion. It goes without saying that any member of the staff who wishes to apply in the future for an editorial position has a lot to gain by attending and a lot more to lose by being absent. A word to the wise... . RJM Friday, March 20, 1959 Dr. Eugene Hammer which problems of "The Preparation of College Teachers" were discussed. Nearly every Liberal Arts college in the State was represented at the meeting; 54 colleges and universities sent delegates. Educators taking part in the program under Dr. Hammer's session were: Dr. Ralph J. Rackley, Dean of the College of Education at Penn State; Dean William E. Arnold from University of Pennsylvania; Dean Paul A. Masonar, University of Pittsburgh; and Dr. D. Willard Zahn, Dean of Temple University. CHEMISTRY CONTEST ANNOUNCED BY U.S.C. The opening of the 1959 contest in colloid and surface chemistry among college undergraduates is announced by the University of Southern California. The contest is sponsored by the Continental Oil Company of Houston, Texas and Ponca City, Oklahoma, and is now in its third year. Students of chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering at all accredited universities of the United States and Canada are eligible if they are regular undergraduates on April 1, 1959. The contestants may enter either a report on a research project conducted by themselves or an essay on the subject, "The contribution of Irving Langmuir to colloid and surface chemistry." Langmuir, American Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, passed away less than two years ago. He was with the General Electric Co., Schenectady, New York. The best essay and the best report will receive each prizes of $500 and the second best each $200 under contest regulations. Honorable mention prizes of $50 each are also provided. The deadline for submitting entries is July 1st, 1959. Entry blanks may be obtained immediately by writing to Prof. K. J. Mysels, ·C hemistry Department, University of Southern California, Los Angeles 7, California. The prizes will be awarded by a panel of anonymous judges and will be distributed September 1st. As contest chairman, Dr. Mysels is being assisted by an advisory committee composed of Professors P.H. Emmett, Johns Hopkins University; V. K. La Mer, Columbia University; and Marjorie Vold of the University of Southern California. The Monarchs will provide the music. This well-known band was r ecently a huge success at the rock 'n' roll show held in the Wilkes gym on February 9, where they played for Fabian, a popular recording star. Members of the band have also recently played at Penn State University and Cornell University. Barre Hall will be decorated as a speak-easy named " Dante's Inferno." As the main theme of the dance is the Roaring '20's, the idea of a speak-easy promises to offer a touch of authenticity to the affair. The Monarchs will be playing Dixieland Jazz in coordination with the theme as well as their usual rock 'n' roll and slow dance music for a wide variety to suit almost every musical taste. The committee, composed of members of both Weiss and Barre Halls, are going all out to make this dance a school-spirited affair.

March 20, · 1959 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Approval for laying the foundation of a Wilkes College track team was given by the Athletic Council this week. The Council gave their okay to students wishing to field a track team by permitting the hopefuls to exist as a club this semester. If enoug h interest is generated in maintaining a team, the Council will extend their efforts to put track on an intercollegiate basis next year. Club m embers will drill at Kirby Park and use the football clubhouse facilities adjoining the field. Drills will start as soon as weather permits and will continue for the duration of the semester. In order to compensate for the lack of equipment available, organi.zers of the track movement will attempt to schedule exhibition m eets with liocal high schools and colleges in the vicinity on an away basis. Ruth Borl/,m, Priscilla McCormack, and Rachel Altavilla, freshmen, were weekend guests at Staunton Military Academy, Staunton, Virginia, where they attended the Military Ball. Himmel Thomas Head T~nnis With four returning lettermen and many promising newcomers, the tennis team is entering its third year of intercollegiate competition. A better showing than in previou s years is predicted because of experienced lettermen: Ira Himmel, Jack Thomas, Paul Bleifer, Bill Woll, and newcomers Jim Swabuck and Dirk Dunlap. A college meet consists of six matches of singles beginning with the two best men on each team and continuing down until th e two number six men meet. The doubles competition operates with the same system but th ere are only three matches. Thi s syst em accounts for the meeting of players of near equal ability. To determine w ho the six competing individuals will be, eliminat ion matches are held among th e members of the tea m. Ira Himmel, last year's top man , will offer stiff competition for the number one position, but the other positions are less certain. The team has been practicing all week at the Central Y.M.C.A., and are anxiously awaiting the first break in th e weather so that outdoor sessions may begin. Practice .

DA VIS, Sports Editor The creation of a track t eam by student initiative and the r elatively new- inter est dev elop ed in golf and t ennis this year are evidence in themselves that the "Old" Blue and Gold's philosophy of giving no extra help to athl et es ma y be paying off in the long awaited bonus of more student participation in school activities. · Upon looking a little closer at the incr eased a ctivities in sports w e could probably find a fairl y close correlation with the g rowth of the school. The i:;robl err:s that the track and t enni s t eam s are encountering in coaching and obta ining adequate fa cilities are probabl y a preview of corning events. The fa ct that the school and inevitably the interests of the students are ex panding means that the power s that be are cramped trying to k eep apace with the desires of the student body. E xpansion has advantages and disad vantages. We will probably find a st a tisticall y large r and better informed administration, but a larger school al so means a loss of contact and more r ed tape between student and administration. Although student wants and desires will always be known a nd f elt in th e upp er levels, it will take · more time and student press ure to gain what is desired. MENTOR PROBLEMS Although Coach Pinkowski probably isn't too plea sed with the baseball turnout, we are of the opinion that things look dark est just before the dawn. Th e t eam doesn't seem overly powerful in the hurling department, but they should balance out in the fielding and slugging sections. W e believe that if Coach Pinkowski shows as much drive knowhow, and leader ship on the diamond as he did on the gridiron, 'he will ha ve a t eam at least a s successful as last year's winning baseball corn bi nation. Which brings the g eneral area of coaching under our closer scrutiny. The swimming team was plagued last year with coaching troubles and, until Russ Picton took over th e reins in the middle of this past season, they seemed doomed to a fate of oblivion. We believe that the upturn of interest in sporting activities shows that Wilkesm en are finally overcoming the lethargy that they were a ccused of having in the past. Coaches of future activities at Wilkes should begin to have less of a problem in gaining their quota of participants. BOWLIN ' 'EM OVER - Dan Lewis, shown abo ve in his favorite occupation, is currently far ahead of the 45 bowlers in the co-ed intramural bowling league.

The program, conduct ed by Pete Carlesimo, coach of the Scranton Univer sity Royals, gave coach John Reese and his eight-man squad an opportunit y to show viewers a few fundam entals in amateur wrestling. Re ese's presentation was designed to illustrate the difference between the " vaudeville" antics of the profess iona l wrestler s a nd the fine points of the coll ege and high school sport.

EMBASSY RESTAURANT JORDAN'S Est. 1871 MEN'S FURNISHINGS and HATS of QUALITY The Narrows Shopping Center Dan Lewis and his Goldbricks did what no other team has been able to do in the Wilkes Co-ed Bowling league all y ear, beat the Pinbusters, 4-0. They were the first t eam to succeed in winning a game from the league leader s in the first round of the sea son's play. Then, in the second round, they became the first t eam to take more than one point from the high-flying Pinbusters, when they won, 3-1. Now they have gone all the way , behind the sizzling 189, 215, 213-617 pace of t eam captain Lewis. Last Sunday night's a ction was a ll of th e shutout variety, as the Ra iders whitewashed the Bio Club a nd the Tenpins, currently in the cellar, rai sed up and slapped a 4-0 pasting on the second-place Play.boys, who fail ed to take advantage of the opportunity to go into a t ie: for first with the Pinbusters. The Raid ers, still firmly en-trenched in third place, moved to within three points of second and seven points from the leaders. The· idle Teetotal ers moved from fifth ·to fourth, ten games off the pace, trailed by the Goldbricks, who are eleven games away from first. For the second time this season, all t eam s bowling in the league have r ecords of .500 or b etter. This is caused by the "phantom" eighth team in the schedule. Each team g ets one night off in every seven weeks, gaining an automatic four points from the non-existent team. This method was employed to make scheduling an odd number of teams ea sier, and furth er to give weaker teams a chance to k eep in the running. Goldbricks 4, Pinbusters 0 Lewis' 617 series, coupled with Dave Sokira's 189-516, spelled doom for the Pinbust er s. The Goldb r icks won the first game by 87 pins, and wer e threatened only in the latter sta g es of the second game when they won by 29 pins. The third match was somewhat closer, 878855, but Lewis fini shed strong with strikes fro m the seventh fram e to ice the game a nd the point for total pins.

'CAF' NIGHT SERVICE SEEN IMPROBABLE remain open evenings for the convenience of evening school students have m et with little success, according to government president Robert Pitel. The management of the dining commons feels that evening openings would create financial problems, since an attendant would have to be on hand to clean up, wash dishes, etc. A large number of persons would have to use the cafeteria facilities in the evening to make this venture profitable. Since a cashier would not be employed for the evenings, an 'honor' system of paying for food or coffee would have to be put into effect. The student government would not be in a position to reimburse the cafeteria for financial loss, as has been suggested. Pitel report ed that additional meetings of campus leaders, student government, and administration may provide some s uitable solution to the cafeteria problem. ·***********************~ THE Record Shop in Wilkes-Barre JOE NARDONE'$ RECORD SHOP Just look at our ALBUM DISPLAY and you will be convinced. ************************ Navy Officer to Discuss Officer Training School A Nava l Officer will visit the campus on Wednesday, May 6th, to provide interested students with information concerning the many varied officer programs available in the Navy.

Everyone is asked affiliated University and College Bookstores. to bring his own refreshments. Principle: Catlin and Sterling dormitories The Government of Pennsylvania will have dormitory parties tomorhas placed an unfair burden on the college students in this Commonwealth. It has taxed citizens for the privilege of pursuing higher education in this state. This has been done in the form of a sales tax on purchases which includes within its limits a three per cent levy on college textbooks and supplies sold in affiliated ,University bookstores. While same state government has constantly sought means by which it might help to alleviate the acute situation of rising costs of college, it seems to have overlooked an obvious aid to the student. By allowing that section of the sales tax which includes the tax on college textbooks and supplies to remain on its books, the Pennsylvania Legislature has helped to aggravate a condition which it claims it is endeavoring to alleviate. Declaration: We, the undersigned members of the Student Council of Temple University, condemn that section of the Elizabeth Cobourn sales tax statute which includes row night from 8 to 12.

Myers Donald Murray, head of the United States de I e g at ion (the Wilkes chapter of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations), will be a candidate for the presidency of the Model General Assembly to be held here next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Murray will be opposed by John Schloss of the French and New Zealand delegation (Adelphi College). Murray was head of the Ghana delegation last year, is a member of the Wilkes Debating club, parliamentarian of the Wilkes Chapter of C.C.U.N., and a member of the Wilkes International Relations Club.

Delegates from 47 colleges and universities will descend, over 400 Don Murray strong, on the campus for the weekend sessions of problems facing the group's parent organization, the United Nations. Designed to give college students a greater awareness of the responsibilities which nations face in a world of ever-increasing tensions, the Model Assembly resembles in nearly every way the workings of its world-wide namesake. Delegates from the Middle Atlantic States will represent the various member nations of the UN, and in the sessions will attempt to discuss and propose solutions of problems which their adopted nations face in real life. None of the delegates treats the Model Assembly lightly. In fact, the students study, for months in advance of the mass meeting, problems and issues of the nations they represent. They study the methods that nation uses in dealing with other nations in actual meetings of the United Nations, then will act accordingly in the Model sessions. Wilkes Has Big Job Wilkes, representing the United States as recognition for the outstanding job done in holding last United States Military Academy (Italy), Waynesburg (Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil), Wilkes (United States), and Wilson (Guinea).

There will be no admission charge for the performances at Chase Theatre. Drama club members will enact modern adult drama as created by three of our foremost contemporary playwrights: Tennessee Williams, Christopher Fry, and Noel Coward. "Something Unspoken," by Tennessee Williams, is a moving drama of southern life in the contemporary scene. It is a story of two women who live in the same household, but fear that there is something unspoken between them.

Better Late Than Never With the spirit of the aged and the enthusiasm of a thoroughly saturated blanket, the CCUN plods along with eyes partially open to what could be brilliant disaster. Exactly one week from today the curtain will be flung open on the second and probably last Model General Assembly to be held here. Last year at this time the major speaker of the session was contracted, had written and forwarded the written draft of his speech to the Public Relations Office and everything was set. This year - nothing. At press time (Tuesday evening) no speaker had consented to appear here, no publicity on any type of speech had been released, Public Relations officers were planning a mass jump from the Market Street bridge and the phone wires were jammed with frantic calls to Washington, D.C., home of some of the country's best speakers. Four hundred delegates from forty-seven colleges will probably witness one of the most fantastic flops in history if something isn't done - and done NOW. No one member or officer of CCUN can get the full blame for the disorganization of the affair. The fact is that there are few individuals in CCUN that have been in one position long enough to take any criticism. CCUN over the past month and a half has had all the moves of a grotesque checker game. Appointments, resignations, promotions, demotions and what have you have ruined any semblance of order in the group. Since the happy announcement that we were again to be honored to have the MGA here, there have been at least three publicity directors, all going mad because they had nothing to publicize. No one in his right mind would venture to criticize the publicity directors (all three of them). There was little to be said and less to be written. Few organizations are given the opportunity to gain such priceless publicity, and not many of that few have passed ii up as CCUN has done. The disorganization of CCUN is inexcusable. The result of this mayhem could be tragic for Wilkes, it certainly has already left its mark. not only on the college, but also on the Public Relations Office and the Beacon. The early stories printed in the town papers and the Beacon made the community and the student body aware of the fact that something big was coming up. THE MAILBAG 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 To Students of Wilkes: As captain of next year's cheering squad, I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in trying out for cheerlead~r for next year. Practice sessions will begin on Thursday, April 16, at 11 a.m. in the gymnasium. The cheering squad will need seven new members as we have only four returning from the past season's squad. Everyone is welcome to attend these practice sessions followed by the final tryouts in May. Just as the purpose of a captain of a footb a ll t eam is to organize and to co-ordinate the team in order ·for it to operate effectively, the pur pose of a cheerleader is to organize and co-ordinate the spirit and support that the spectators of an athletic event wi sh to express for their t eam. v;~hen people go to a game, they a ttempt to support their favorit e t eam by shouting words of encotfragement.

A treasurer's report showed a balance of $588.01 in the government activity fund. In response to the question on why only the freshmen received xrays by the mobile unit, the government reported that a state law allows x-rays to be taken every four years, and therefore the incoming freshmen are chosen .

This situation could also be r emedied with a few men, capable of tumbling or other types of acrobatics. If anyone has these talents they will be welcomed at the practice sessions.

Winding up a successful season, the Wilkes team composed of Cliff Brothers and Gwen Evans on the affirmative, and Roberta Feinstein and Fred Roberts on the negative, tied for fifth place with the girls from Misericordia. Dr. Kruger's orators made a creditable showing by posting a record of seven wins and three losses . It is interesting to note that they defeated Lehigh, Grove City, Westminst er, Gannon, Temple, Misericordia, and Marywood, while losing to Scranton, King's, and Dickinson. The Wilkes record at the end of four rounds was 7-1, second highest in the tourney, but two losses in the final seeding round eliminated the local contingent. This is the first time in four years that Wilkes fail ed to qualify for this round. Last year Wilkes placed third, in 1957 first, and in 1956 second. The winner of this year's tournament was the University of P ennsylvania. In seven tournaments this year Wilkes debaters had an aggregate r ecord of 37 wins and 23 losses, for a winning percentage of .602. Yest erday the debate squad presented a modified debate for the Dallas Rotary Club. Accompanied by Dr. Arthur N. Kruger, debate coach, the squad acquainted the Rotarians with the mechanics and techniques of debating. Fred Roberts took the affirmative, Roberta Feinst ein the negative, and Cliff ·B rothers acted as moderator.

Memorial EDITORIALS - Welcome Delegates The Beacon staff extends a cordial welcome to all the delegates who have come to Wilkes for the Model General Assembly this weekend. This will be an active weekend for all the participants and we sincerely hope that your stay here will not only be enjoyable but also profitable to you. All the sessions of the M.G.A. will be open to the public. This should be an ideal opportunity for all interested persons not directly connected with the sessions to get an insight on the workings of the parent organization, the UN. The major speaker at tonight's opening session, Mr. Willard Johnson, will deliver his address at 7:30. Mr. Johnson has an interesting and varied background and is well suited to speak to the assembly on matters pertaining to international affairs. We hope that the student body will not pass up this opportunity to attend the sessions and learn a little about the processes that coordinate world relations. Neither Rain, nor Sleet ... Spring may not have been here as reported and forecast, but that small detail did not in any way lessen the success of the first annual Spring Weekend. The tremendous reception given the series of events was a welcome surprise to the planners of the affair. The April Showers dance had perfect weather, it rained all evening. Saturday's outing at Wolfe's Grove was more of an inning, but nobody seemed to mind the lack of baseball playing and other such strenuous activities. Catlin and Sterling Halls had well attended dances Saturday evening. The decorations in both dormitories were well thought out and effectively arranged. All the dorms outdid themselves cleaning and polishing for open house Sunday afternoon. The whole weekend ran smoothly despite the adverse weather conditions. We think that this fact is high praise to the planners and coordinators.

AU opinions expressed by columnists and special writers including letters to the editor are not necessarily those of this pultlication but those of the individuals. Dear Madam Editor, It is a well-known fact that the freshman class is a new organization on campus. Since when, however, does this fact give other organizations the right to take that which rightfully belongs to the freshmen? Recently, the m embers of our class were informed of the loss of our calendar date for ou1· dance. Because plans had already been made by another club on campus, ·we r elinquished our date without hesitation. We were promised (in return for our generosity) another date. After accepting the only other available date and making plans accordingly, we were subjected to another change in plans. This too we will have to accept, but in the future we would be glad to see all classes and clubs dealt with equally. An irate freshman (Ed. note: name withheld) Fund Status Revealed, Called Foresighted Plan for Giving Special to t he BEACON, from Alumni Office Since time immemorial, graduating classes from colleges and universities have given class gifts to their Alma Maters as a means of perpetuating the memory of their classes. Many have been wonderful additions to their campuses, but many have not. Lack of planning has too often meant a gift of no consequence or of little value to the school. One of the primary causes of this misfortune has been lack of funds. To correct this, oftimes this meant that each member of the class was assessed when he could least afford it - in the senior year. By class direction, the Class Memorial Fund grows from an assessment of $1.00 per semester for each student. Each Freshman class decides by voting whether or not they would like to adopt this plan. A majority vote decides if the vote is favorable - th en the plan is put into effect. Upon the request of the classes adopting the plan, in 1956 Dr. Farley directed the comptroller to add $1.00 to each student's tuition and to establish r ecords which would enable the classes to have the funds collected and recorded for them without any bookkeeping problem on their part. As a result, the class treasurer receives a report each year from the comptroller m entioning the total of the class fund as of that year. The plan has proved to be highly successful with only a minimum of financial strain on the individual student. The last three graduating classes have been able to give gifts of great value to the College without any financial difficulty. The second phase of this plan involves class contributions after graduation - as alumni. An independent college such as Wilkes must look to its friends and alumni for financial support, for it receives no aid from other sources. It is a simple truth that no student by benefit of paying his tuition fully pays the full cost of his education. Tuition alone does not balance the Madam. Editor, On March 18 the sophomore class of Wilkes Coll ege sponsored a Donkey Basketball game for the benefit of the General Hospital's Building Fund. In spite of the fact that on the same night a "dream basketball game" and the opening of the Shrine Circus competed with our game, I am happy to inform you that the project was a great success, with the Faculty defeating the Athletes, 18-14, before approximately 1,300 people. After taxes and other expenses the class last week was able to turn over to Dr. Samuel Buckman, chairman of the Building Fund Drive, a check for $337.62. This amount is one of the largest ever given to a charity by any single - student organization at Wilkes. We realize that this project could not have been the success that it was without the co-operation of the following : Public Relations Office, the Beacon, the gym crew, the General Hospital staff, and the athletes Class of 1956 and faculty members who participated in the game. To those listed, the class of '61 say an humble (as alumni) "thank you." Because of the success of the (as alumni) project and the show of co-operation by the people at Wilkes, our Class of 1957 class has decided to adopt the Donkey ,B asketball game as an annual affair. (as alumni) Respectfully, Gil Davis, president Class of 1958 Class of '61 To All Students: On May 4, 1959, the Wilkes College Intercollegiate Government Organization will hold a political meeting concerning the local elections. This meeting will bring together both parties, Democrats and Republicans, plus all the factions of the Republican party. As you probably realize, the Republican party has split into three factions this year. They include the Real Republicans which is the Stroh faction, the Victory Republicans which will be Flack's group, and the Regular Republicans which consists of the Clark faction. At this meeting, each group will present its platform and will then be open for questions. To this date, we have received information along the line that Attorney Silverblatt will be here to represent the Real Republicans, Mr. Olexy will be representing the Regular Republicans ; the Victory Republicans claim they might be bringing their whole ticket to this important pre-election meeting. The Democrats will probably be represented by Dr. Dorris. From the looks of things at the present, this meeting should prove to be interesting and enlightening. The public and the entire student body is invited to attend. The meeting will take place in the Commons and will begin at 8:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Plan to be there and bring an interested friend. I'm sure it will prove worthwhile. Frank Steck I budget. This additional financial support must come from other sources, and more and more colleges and universities are turning to th eir alumni for this support with wonderful results. Upon graduation, the class memorial fund really becomes a ctivated, for the second most important feature is that it is in effect a "joint savings plan" whereby all funds raised through your class annually are placed in your Class Memorial Fund until the class trustees, elected at graduation, have decided through polling of the class the purpose for which they would like the funds used. You can see that this is a longrange plan. The Class Memorial Fund Plan can become the means by which Wilkes can grow in futur e years. It is conceivable that any given class in years ahead can acquire enough money through annual contributions of its class m embers to do something substantiali.e., construct a portion of a building, endow a faculty chair, give scholarship aid, contribute toward faculty salaries, or any other purpose that will help to develop Wilkes College. The benefits received from the fund in its short history are illustrated below. Even in the plan's infancy, the College has benefited from the generous foresight of the last three classes. We hope that it is the beginning of a tradition.

The high-Flying Dutchmen have been consistently in the first three ranks of the Middle Atlantic playoffs for the past five years, and they are rated as one of the top small college golf teams in the country this year. Last week they shut out Seton Hall, 18-0, and Tuesday they again beat a powerful N.Y.U. team, 17-1. The m en representing the Blue and Gold at H empstead are : Probable leadoff player, Eddie Mikolaitis, graduated from Hanover High School and is presently a senior education major. Ed is noted for his very good work with the irons and should address th e ball with good results today. Second man on the roster is Bob Janus co. Last year Bob finished in the semi-finals at the Hollenback tourney and is expected to do great things for th e youthful Wilkes team. In third spot on the team is P ete McLaughlin. Pete is a returning letterman from last year's team with an improved game and shows top form when he is put under pressure. Paramus, New Jersey, sends us two-sport letterman Pete Perog, who is holding down fourth spot on the team.
