EDITORIAL
Redevelopment Petition Circulating
Students of this college are taking an active part in the
eventual redevelopment of the Wyoming Valley area through
the means of a petition to President Eisenhower to use his in-fluence to help passage of Senate Bill 722, the Area Redevelopment Bill.
The petition cites a continued reduction of employment in
the anthracite industry as a disruptive influence in the lives of
area families, with women going to work while men are forced
to remain idle because of the lack of jobs open to them.
It is fitting and proper that students, many of whom are
planning or hoping to remain in this Valley as permanent residents, should see fit to circulate such a petition. It is even more
fitting that it receive the whole-hearted support of the remainder
of the students, who are receiving an education through the
foresightedness of those Valley citizens responsible for the existence of Wilkes College, an entirely public-dependent institution.
We urge that you not wait for the petition to reach you,
rather, search out Gordon Roberts or any of the members of the
_S tudent Government and ask to be a part of this undertaking.

Three One-Act Plays I
Well Received; C'n' C I
Versatility Displayed
Cue 'n' Curtain's presentation of
three one-act plays last week again
proved the versatility and imagination of the group. Not enough
praise can be given to the cast,
crew and directors of th e productions.
"Something Unspok en," direct ed
by Mr. Al Groh, was th e more
serious play of the three. Starring
Misses Mary Frances Swigert and
Ginny Lyons, the play contained a
message that unfortunately was
missed by a large part of the audience who were looking for 'the
lighter side. The slightly unreceptive mood of the audience did not
in any way distract the two
a ctresses.
Miss Lyons did a splendid job in
the role of Grace, despite the fact ·
that she stepped into the part only
a week before the curtain went up.
Miss Swigert's aristocratic stature and slightly shaking southern
accented voice established her as a
versatile and dependable actress.
Miss Jocelyn King brought down
the house with a tremendous dis-1

expressions added just the right
touch to what could have been a
slightly morbid play.
Fred Malkemes added to his
laurels with a thoroughly convincing portrayal of Tegeus in "Phoenix." Malkemes has the ability to
relax in any part or costume and
was at his best last week.
Miss . Sally Price, as Doto in
"Phoenix," was the surprise of the
Cue 'n' Curtain season. Miss Price,
although a little too aware of the
audience, carried the part well.
"Fumed Oak," starring Miss
Audrey Bartlett and Robe1t Stevens, started with all the effects of
an out of control whirlwind but unfortunately began to drag toward
the end.' The first scene was so
typical it was hysterical; however,
the second scene lagged woefully
behind the terrific punch of the
first and gasped to a rather uninteresting finish.
Miss Bartlett snapped and yapped through her part with the
polish of a professional while Stevens, attired in baggy suit, was perfectly cast for the part of Henry
Gow. Stevens was delightfully
smug, pompous, arrogant and diffident throughout the play.
Miss Judi Coplan sniffed and
slumJ_Jed to perfection while Mrs.
Chester Colson, although slightly
forced at times, added the needed
feeling of maturity to the part of
the typical mother-in-law.

by Lee Baiera
The Freshman class will salute
the fiftieth state of the union, Hawaii, at their second sport dance
of the year entitled "Hawaiian
Holiday."
The dance will be held tonight
upstairs in the Commons from nine
to twelve. The admission price of
fifty cents appropriately signifies
the entrance of the fiftieth state.
Palm trees, leis, sea shells used
as ash trays, and pineapple shells
with candles will set the mood for
the dance. Leis will be given to
all those attending. Music will be
provided by the Blue Notes. Free
refreshments consisting of punch
and cookies will be served.
During intermission Albert Kishel, president of the Freshman class,
will play the guitar with the band
as an added feature.
Co-chairmen of the dance are

Award Competition for percentage
increase." This statement was received in a recent letter from Professor Harold Fischer, the Director
of the University Chapter Division
of the Society for Advancement of
Management.
The Hamilton Watch Award
Competition is a method by which
the University Chapter Division of
S.A.M. stimulates the growth of
the University Chapters. At the
end of the school year each of the
six chapters who qualify (two in
total membership increase, two in
absolute membership increase, and
two in percentage increase) is presented with a citation and a Hamilton electric watch. The watch is
then presented to the member who
had contributed most to the membership increase of the chapter.
Pictures of the presentations are
published in Advanced Management magazine, which has international circulation among colleges
and universities and business and
management personnel.
Since its reorganization in January the Wilkes Chapter of S.A.M.
has been working under the assumption that a dynamic chapter
with a broad program of activities
and expansion of services to its
membe1•s will experience a significant growth in membership. As
a result of its numerous and varied
activities the chapter has experienced a phenomenal growth. At
present the membership t o t a 1
stands at 110, a 647 % increase over
last year, thus making the Wilkes
Chapter the 10th largest of the 151
chapters in the nation.
The Wilkes S.A.M. Chapter has
also won the distinction of having
been elected into the "100 Club",
a select group including only those
chapters which have exceeded the
100 mark in membership enrollment.
Some of the activities which the
chapter has sponsored are: forums
on employee motivation, discussions on management training on
both college and plant levels, a lecture on what management seeks in
college graduates, an enlightening
view of medical compensation insurance, and field trips to local industries.
In addition to the activities spon~
sored directly by the Wilkes Chapter, the members have taken the
opportunity offered by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Senior Chapter to attend many of their meetings. The Senior Chapter has presented excellent speakers and lively
discussions on current management
problems. The highlight of the
year was a visit of Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, the foremost expert on time
and motion study.
The Wilkes College Chapter will
continue to present activities which
will aid in supplementing the text
book and in developing the philosophy of management in the student,
"Industrial Progress Through Enlightened Management." The progress of the Wilkes Chapter of
S.A.M. is in keeping with the spirit
and highest traditions of Wilkes
College!

A surprising number of people have come up to us during

"blast" the election officers for their lack of foresight in getting
only one machine. In the first place, we don't agree with you
in your accusations, and we further see no point in "blasting"
the officers. The election officers are perfectly aware that one
machine was not enough and we have been told, by the president of the election committee, that having one machine was
the idea of the officials in the Court House - not the election
officers.
The people who bothered to go to the trouble of getting a
machine here should be congratulated for their thoughtfulness.
As for those who couldn't vote, we would like to point out
that when we went into Chase Theater at 4 o'clock Thursday
afternoon there was no one using the machine. If you had to
work, or had a ride home or had nine hours of class on Thursday, then perhaps you have a gripe. We have the feeling however, that anyone who really wanted to vote, could have done so.

ties Calendar
In June of 1958, representatives
of the Student Government, with
the aid of Dean Ralston, prepared
an activities calendar for the '58-59
school year. As a part of that
calendar, they awarded to the
Freshman Class two activities
dates, October 31, 1958 and April
17, 1959. Unknown to the Student
Government, or the Administration,
the CCUN, at some subsequent
time, scheduled the MGA for April
17-18-19. By the time the conflict
was discovered it was too late to
reschedule the MGA and the Freshman Class · had to make arrangements for another activities date.
On April 1, the CCUN submitted
a formal letter of apology to the
Student Government.
The Student Government feels
that this does not wholly resolve
the issue. It still remains that
the CCUN irresponsibly scheduled
an activity on a date which had
been previously reserved for the
Freshman Class. This type of promiscuous scheduling by any organization can not be tolerated. Were
it tolerated, it would mean that
any organization could hold any
event they desired on any date they
desired. This would lead to unwarranted competition and eventually mayhem.
Student loyalty
would be split and eventually they
would refuse to attend any social
affairs.
NO ORGANIZATION IS PREFERRED TO ANOTHER.
In view of the circumstances, the
Student Government suggests that
CCUN make a public apology to
the Freshman Class.
PUBLIC INVITED
TO SUNDAY CONCERT
A concert of varied music will be
presented by the college band Sundday afternoon at 3 as the final
offering of the year by the music
department Town and Gown series.
Students, parents, and the general public have been invited to
attend. There will be no tour of
the campus, as has been the custom
on past parent day concerts.
Following the musical program,
a reception will be held in the foyer
of the gym for all those in attendance.

LOOKING BETTER
The National League tie for first place was broken Wednesday as Ray's Recruits downed the Snafus in one of the most
hotly contested games so far this season. Clem Gavenas
pitched an excellent game for the Recruits in their 5 to 4 victory
over the Snafus.
The victory was the third in sue-·
cession for Recruits and sets the
scene for th e game next week between them and an oncoming
Phonies team. A victory for the
Phonies next Tuesday would throw
the National League into a threeway tie between the Phonies, Snafu s, and Recruits.
In Wednesday's game the Recruits showed evenly balanced hitting power as Selody, Yanchus,
Kemmere1:, Havira, Kubicki, and
Lewis all had one hit apiece.
The fa.ltering Snafus were bolstered by a triple and a single from•
Gil Gregory and hits by Norm Chanoski, Bill Michaels, Marv Antinnes, and "Perky" Perkowski.
The Blivets are still top dogs in
the American League and should

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
HENDERSHOT'S HITS AID WILKES VICTORIES;
BOOMING BAT EXPLODES EXTRA BASE BLOWS
Ralph Hendershot, one of the best long-ball hitters to wear the Blue and Gold spikes in
some years, earned the Beacon's "Athlete of the Week" title for his performances in the Colonels' two recent diamond victories.
With his explosi ve bat, he provided the winning blow in the 5-4
squeaker over the Lycoming Warriors last week; then, before the
Saturday home crowd, led the parade of extra base hits in the Susquehanna tilt.
quehanna nine, he even answered
an SOS by Coach Pinkowski to relive another converted outfielder,
Mike Dydo, on the mound.
Although he was treated not too
kindly by the Crusaders, he did a
creditable job in the unfamiliar
role, and showed promise of easing
Pinkowski's pitching headaches.
In the Lycoming game, he
singled sharply to move John Harvey home with the winning run to
climax a two-run rally for the 5-4
win.
A two-letter man, Ralph also
puts in a busy season in indoor
competition on Eddie Davis' basketball team. He has been a member
of the team for three years and
the fans still bring his name up
when speaking of long shots, remembering his 60-foot thriller in
the 1958 season.
Prior to Saturday, however, the
big outfielder had to settle mostly
for singles. In the game against
the Crusaders he found the range
and his bat began to boom again
to the tune of a soaring, 375-foot
round-trip blast and a fen ce-rattling double to account for three
RIBI's.
Not content to lead the 14-hit
barrage against the hapless Sus-

J. PYATT TO PRESENT
C'n'C ELECTS OFFICERS TODAY;
AWARDS DINNER NEXT WEEK
Thanks, but Not Good-bye
RECITAL ON SUNDAY
Five and a half years ago Wilkes was honored by having
Mrs. Gertrude Allen Doane come as Acting Dean of Women.
Original plans called for Mrs. Doane to stay for only three
months, to finish out the semester. Through the urging of Dr.
Farley and the student body, she has remained with us for a
much longer and gratifying stay.
The Dean of Women's office at Wilkes has been different
· from those in other colleges since Mrs. Doane came. In other
institutions of higher learning, to be "called to the Dean's office"
usually means only one thing, - trouble. Here at Wilkes, a
call from Mrs. Doane or a visit on the spur of the moment
usually mean a pleasant experience. Mrs. Doane has been
nothing but courteous and helpful to all students who sought
her aid whether it be a personal or academic problem. Many
times she has been sought out to answer questions on any subject from where to buy cokes for a dance to the scholastic
average necessary for graduation.
Men and women students have always felt free to just
drop in to see and chat with Mrs. Doane emphasizing her amiable disposition and willingness to serve others.
Theta Delta Rho has also gained much by having Mrs.
Doane as their advisor over the years. She has been the
guiding force behind the growth and spirit of that organization,
helping in many ways to solve the problems common to most
organizations.
The Inter-Dormitory Council has recently honored the retiring Dean by naming the Outstanding Female Dormitory Student award after her. Since Mrs. Doane has been an outstanding Dean, it is fitting to give an award named in her honor
to the outstanding female resident.
Her services have not been limited to the Wilkes campus.
She has been a prominent figure in service organizations
throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, serving on many child
welfare committees and charity projects. Her life has been dedicated to the betterment of young people.
We hope that her retirement will be in word only, and that
she will continue in her work with young people because we
firmly believe that she has done much to make Wilkes a friendly
campus.
Her ability to remember the name of each and every student
has never ceased to amaze us, and we have the feeling that
she will never forget the students of Wilkes, just as those students will never forget her.
We are sure that the students join us in thanking Mrs. Doane
for a job more than well done and wishing her and Dr. Doane
all the happiness that they deserve.

A panel discussion to acquaint
the student body and Valley residents with the issues involved in
the forthcoming primary elections
was held in the Commons Monday
evening. Wilkes Chapter of the
Inter - Collegiate Conference on
Government and Politics sponsored
the affair.
Speakers were three Republican
candidates for the office of District
Attorney a n d one Democratic
candidate. The moderator was Dr.
Harold W. Thatcher, chairman of
the history depa1tment.
The speaker - candidates were
Attorney Stephen A. Teller, candidate on the Regular Democratic
ticket; Attorney Arthur Silverblatt,
candidate on the Regular Republican ticket; Attorney Joseph P.
Olexy, Loyal Republican Party
candidate; and Att9rney Peter Kanjorski, Victory Republican Party
candidate.
Dr. Thatcher termed the session
"a discussion of democracy at the
grass roots level". Each candidate

spoke for fifteen minutes.
Attorney lamented the decline in

would help this region.
Attorney Silverblatt told of the
social welfare program of the
present county administration and
what is being done for the benefit
of the area's aged and infirm. He
added that th e county commissioners, T. Newell Wood and J. Bowden
Northrup, who are seeking another
term in office, went into office with
certain pledges and have kept them.
Attorney Olexy said that there
were two issues in this campaign.
He enumerated them as "bossism"
and simple morality in government.
He commented that certain types
of unsavory characters who exist
in th e county as "hangers on"
ought to be eliminated. He claimed
the members of his ticket are "unbossed".
Attorney Kanjorski, Victory Republican Party candidate, managed
by Senator Harold E. Flac,k, said
that it is th e wrong time to build
a county home for the aged and
infirm and struck out at the unwarranted expenditures of the
present county commissioners. He
asserted that this is the time the
county is least able to finance a
county home because of the drop
in coal assessment. His slate, said
Kanjorski, .p roposes no man connected with a coal company be a

On the basis of these applications, the Colle~e will have until
June 30 to compile a total request
figure for the U.S. Office of Education, which will then act on the
request.
Federal funds will be available
to colleges on a basis of $20 for
every enrolled student. Any requests in excess of that proportion
will need an extra form to justify
the extra allotment.
A committee of government officials and educators will review requests requiring justification to determine whether the extra funds
should be awarded. This necessitates a careful approach of the
student applications by the colleges before submitting their requests to the government. Final
figures should be available by
September.
Last year $7,847 was awarded
to Wilkes, to which the College
added $1,0()p. These funds were
distributed to 40 applicants. The
administration has expressed an
opinion that the 1959-60 allotment
ma y be as much as three times
last year's figure, but emphasizes
the need for students to use reason
and careful study in making their
applications.
Qualifications
Students applying for loans under this National Defense Student
Loan program must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, fulltime students in good standing, and
giving evidence of need.
Special consideration Will be
given in extraordinary cases where
a student has a superior academic
background with a desire to teach
in secondary or elementary schools.
Also, special consideration will be
given to those entering science,
mathematics, engineering, or foreign language fields.
Loans will be made up ~o $1,000
per fiscal year, and should be used
only for college expenses. Exceptional cases will be given consideration when necessary for a student
to rema in in college.
Repayment
Repayment may be made in
monthly payments, but the principal and interest shall normally be
repaid in ten equal annual installments. Interest does not begin until one year from the date a student ceases to be in full-time enrollment.
Cancellation provisions allow a
ten per cent reduction of principal
plus interest for each academic
year of service in public elementary or secondary schools. The
maximum amount to be cancelled
is fifty per cent. Interest on the
loans will be three per cent.

that selects the "Beacon Athlete of the Year." For the past seven
years the Sports staff of the Beacon has polled the coaches of the various intercollegiate teams, the Director of Athletics, Director of Sports
Publicity, and Beacon Sports staff, to find the athlete most deserving
of that select title.
Last year's winner of the award was Ronni e Rescigno who is
presently teaching and coaching in a high school on Long Island. The
year. before saw an undefeated season for Jim Ward on the wrestling
mats and he walked away with the year's honors.
The athletes eligible for the award qualify by being picked "Athlete
of the Week" sometime during the school year under consideration.
No other qualifications are necessary. He does not have to be a Senior
nor to have lettered in more than one sport during the year.
This year the balloting should see several men in real contention
for the title with possibly a single vote or two deciding the issue
between the approximately 18 eligible men.
TENNIS
The t ennis team seems to have acquired the ailment that is peculiar
to young teams. The swimming and golf teams both had difficulties
drawing their first blood, until they gained full-time coaches in the
forms of Russ Picton and Welton Farrar. The tennis team now seems
to be in the throes of "being or not being." Besides the lack of a fulltime coach they don't have a regular home court on which to practice
and gain the advantage of meeting teams from opposing schools on
grounds with which they are entirely familiar.
On the credit side they seem not to lack for enthusiasm and seem
to be getting closer and closer to winning their first meet. Hopes are
especially high that they may be able to take Lycoming the second time
around this season.
BEST WISHES
Best wishes are in order for Wrestling Coach and new Director of
Athletics at Wilkes, John Reese. (See story on page five.)

by Carl Borr
Last Tuesday Ray's Recruits copped the championship of
the National League by trouncing the Phonies, 4-0. The champs
finished the regular league schedule with an unblemished 4-0
record. The college championship will be decided by a threegame playoff between the Recruits and the Blivets, American
League champs.
The Recruits started off with a
bang, scoring all four runs in the
first inning. Paul Klein, leadoff
man, drove the first pitch into
centerfield for a single. The next
man, Bernie Radecki, received a
free pass.
Ra y Yanchus then
reached first on an error with Klein
scoring.
Carl Kemmerer followed with a
single, driving in the second run.
The two baserunners were advanced by Fred Williams as he flied

Saturday the Susquehanna Crusaders edged Wilkes, 4-3, in 10

on a single by Ted Okimura as he
was being intentionally walked.
Okimura lunged across the plate
at a wide pitch and plunked the
ball into right field for a gameclinching blow.
Freshman Pat Monaghan, former
Meyers chucker, opened on the hill

three runs on three hits. He was
relieved by Mike Dydo, who was
working after pitching 9 innings
the previous day, and brought his

MIKE DYDO IS ATHLETE OF YEAR
IN BEACON'S ANNUAL BALLOTING
by MORGAN DA VIS, Sports Editor
MIKE DYDO, senior all-round intercolegiate athlete was selected from a field of seventeen
contestants to be 1958-59 Athlete of the Year.
For the four years that Mike has been active in school athletics he .has been held in high
regard by both the Coaches and BEACON staff, but his real value to both the baseball and ,
football teams didn't appear in its proper perspective untill this, his final year at Wilkes.
Mike Dydo

With the realization that "Big"
Mike won't be around next year to
stand the 60-minute grind in filling
the holes on the line or to be pulled
in from his regular fielding position to take his turn on the mound
and win four games at this writing, the impressed coaches and
writing staff selected Dydo to be
the Beacon's outstanding athlete.·
Mike was co-captain of the grid
team this past season and if he
didn't fill the tackle position with
a lot of weight, he did fill it with
a great deal of know-how, experience, and determination. He was
selected a little earlier in the year
to receive the Howard W. Davis
Award for excellence in athletics.
His strong outfielder's arm was
utilized to the maximum this year
when he took on the regular role
of pitcher for the Blue and Gold
diamond men. He has a winning
season going so far and is still
more impressive at the plate when
he gets his usual collection of
doubles and triples.
Balloting for the honor took
place earlier this week, with the
Director of Athletics, Director of
Sports Publicity, coaches and the
Sports staff of the Beacon turning
in their votes.
The official voting showed some
real competition for top honors,
with sophomore wrestler and gridder Marvin Antinnes giving Mike

EDITORIAL
Observations of An Editor
With the announcement of the Beacon Athlete of the Year
and the big story of Cinderella dominating the front page, we
suddenly realize that there is only one more week of classes
left for the '58-'59 school year; consequently there is only one
more Beacon after this one. The last issue of the year usually
has an editorial devoted to the thank you's and congratulations
befitting the occasion of off with the old, and on with the new
Editor, so with this our last chance we want to let you in on
some of the feelings and experiences we have garnered through
editing twenty-nine issues of the Beacon - more than any other
Beacon editor can take credit - or blame - for.
Unlmown to most students, we were plunked down into the
Editor's chair back on May 2, 1958 when we took over unofficially in the absence of the Editor-in-Chief. Since then we have
learned a lot, some of the impressions we got were good but
the majority of them were, unfortunately, bad. One of the things
that interested us was the fact that Wilkes students do not have
the strength to stand behind their convictions or to support their
ideas. We do not make this statement as an authority on the
subject, we make it only through our own personal observations
of the actions of students in connection with not only the Beacon,
but also with other campus activities.
Our editorial policy this year has been decidedly liberal,
or even a trifle on the leftist side, if you wish, but we had a
purpose in mind when we started to "tee off" on a few things.
We perhaps over-emphasized things that possibly could have
gone by, but we did so because we wanted to make people
think. We wanted to get students so annoyed that they would
sit down and talk, yell or scream until they reached the point
where they would realize that some things were not as they
should be on campus.
Letters, ·We Don't Get Letters
We made it a point to be around the Commons when the
Beacon came out every Friday so that we could see the results
of our work. Either one of two things happened; the people we
criticized ran for cover or they came at us like madmen threatening all sorts of letters to the Editor. How many of those letters
answering our editorials did we get? TWO. What happened
to the rest? We are inclined to think that the people who were
so indignant, and they probably had a gripe because we overemphasized many things, were afraid to defend themselves,
they were afraid to refute us, afraid to express their side publicly, afraid to stand behind their convictions.
Through the twenty-seven issues this year, we have received ten Letters to the Editor all together (this figure excludes
open letters to the student body not concerned with the Beacon
or addressed to the Editor). As we mentioned above, only two
of these letters criticized us for picking out the bad spots on
campus and pounding them into dust. Other college newspapers are filled with letters answering editorials that are much
softer than ours have been. We are of course not competing
with other colleges in the Letters to the Editor department, but
the fact remains that Wilkes students, as compared to other
college students, will not stand up for what they think is right.
It stands to reason that students do things because they think
they are correct in their actions, but when we proceded to criticize those ·actions, the students responsible just crawl away to
sulk instead of letting us know how they feel.
Dr. Farley Wouldn't Like It?
Just as Wilkes students refuse to defend themselves, they
also give up without even trying. Again, this is just our opinion
based on what we have seen during our tour of duty. Many
times we have seen or heard about meetings or informal gatherings where someone comes up with a brilliant idea - something
that would raise school spirit and dispel some of the gloom that
sometimes hangs over the campus. The idea grows, with others
catching the enthusiasm until the whole thing seems wonderful.
Then some disspirited, dis-illusioned and work-fearing wet
blanket casually remarks that "Dr. Farley wouldn't like it" and
there goes another idea out the window without even a decent
burial. We frankly think that Dr. Farley would be amazed at
the things he "wouldn't like," the number is overwhelming. He
is reported to dislike things he never even heard of and we don't
think that this is his fault. We think that the kill-joys on campus
are using him as an excuse possibly to avoid work, and possible
because they are afraid to try something new. Many times we
have been a member of a group that was sure that the administration would stop an idea, yet we have never seen or
heard of a sensible idea that, when asked, the administration
has stopped.
·
We don't advocate the plan that everyone having an idea
go rushing up to Chase Hall with a chip on his shoulder and
demand that he be given his way. We merely suggest, meekly
perhaps, that next year students ask before they give up an idea.
You may be surprised to find that the Administration is composed of rather broad-minded and sensible people who are
see~g the best for Wilkes, just as the students should be.
End of lecture.

week. Once again, the literary and
art magazine of the college has
been constructed to contain diversified expressions of student creativity which should prove interesting
to all.
The sixty-eight page edition will
be prefaced with an editorial and
dedication of the magazine to
Wilkes, upon completion of its successful twenty-fifth anniversary.
Included in the contents is a
section of art and music expression,
in which will be found pa intings by
Michael Crush, Jim Connell, and
Jim Cornelius. An original musical setting for the words of Thomas
Wolfe, "Something Has Spoken to
Me in the Night," has been submitted by Audrey Bartlett, senior
music student and prominent pianist and organist.
A select ed group of short stories,
several of which wer e submitted by
students of Dr. Philip Rizzo, occupies a major portion of the magazine. Among the short sto ries are
the following :
"The Platonic Seedsower " by
Ronald Kryzn ewski is, in the words
of the author, "a philosophical fantasy which satiricall y compares
Romanticism and Rationalis m." The
conclusion of the story "is a reaffirmation of Keatsian Negative
Capability."
Clifford Brothers' "Paul Gauguin
Wept" is concerned with the trag ic
life of the prominent French
painter and his last days on the
isle of Tahiti.
•Barbara Poris has contributed a
novel short story, "The Card
Game," which reveals its meaning
through sharp dialogue around a
card table.
Helen Klatt's "Blind Date" is a
teen-age story which clearly r eveals a great amount of insight into the character of two 'young at
heart' at their first r endezvous.
Other stories are: "A Success
Story" by Jim Eidam, "The Departure" and "The Raward" by Albert
Valenia, and "Soldier " by Jim Cornelius.
A theological essay, "The Old
Testament and Criticism" has been
contributed by Gordon Roberts, and
poetry of varied nature by Pat
Hemenway, Cliff Brothers, Robert
Stevens, and Harvey Stambler is
the remaining material in the publication.
It is significant to note that this
year has been one of great expansion for the Manuscript, for the
association is not only presenting
a larger publication than those in
the past, but it also organized a
film society, expanded its editorial
staff, and enlarged its exchange
program with many colleges and
universities.

EDUCATION MAJORS
TO VISIT RETREAT
by Steve Cooney
As a group project for their hygiene class, senior elementary education majors will make a trip
Thursday, May 21, to Retreat State
Hospital for a tour of facilities.
The visit will include a tour of
the rehabilitation workshops and
talks with individual p a ti e n t s
undergoing therapy. This will give
the future educators a glimpse of
what is being done to help our
mentally ill. The information they
learn they can then pass on to their
st u d e n ts when they become
teachers.
Prior to the tour, Miss Florence
Bueno, Directr ess of Nurses at Retreat Hospital, will visit the h ygiene class and explain the procedures used at Retreat.
George Sura, Harold Klein, Martha James, and George Black are
in charge of arrangements for the
trip.

Students who have attained outstanding scholastic and service
records will be honored at the annual Awards Assembly to be held
Tuesday. The program will begin
with an address by Dr. Eugene S.
Farley.
Presentation of the "Dean's

Each year the senior man and woman who have achieved the highest
scholastic averages for four years
are awarded engraved cups by the

The Assembly Award is presented to the organization who has
produced the best sudent assembly

Sports awards, Cvmmerce and

Beacon awards are a few of the

May 12th Assembly
John C. Metcalfe, White House
correspondent, spoke on the Big
Four foreign ministers' conference
at last Tuesday's Assembly.
Metcalfe considered a wide open
conference as the best general approach for the United States, in
regard to summit meetings. Both
the United States and Russia would
agree to let each party discuss
what they wish.
The only danger of the Berlin
situation, according to Mr. Metcalfe, is that a trigger happy incident might occur which would be
extremely dangerous, for if a conflict started, war would not be confined to one area.
Mr. Metcalfe also commented on
the high rate of migration from
East to West Germany. He said
that if ever an unfortunate conflict
between East and West Germany
occurred, East Germany would
crnmble overnight.
In conclusion Mr. Metcalfe said
that we cannot let down our front
line in Germany, for if we do, there
wjll be a stampede of governments
running to Moscow for cover . ."Our
life is at stake," he said, "and appeasement is only the road to destruction."

Ray's Recruits, National Leag1,1e
intramural softball champions, won
the College championship on Tuesday with a 14-9 win over the
Blivets, American League winners.
Tuesday's game was the second
of the three-game playoff and gave
the Recruits the flag after they
soundly whipped the Blivets last
Friday by a lopsided 21-4 margin.
Ken Selody was the big gun in
the series for the Recruits, with a
total of eight hits in nine trips to
the plate, including three home
runs and a doubl e in Friday's game,
good for eight runs batted in.
In Tuesday's contest he went
four-for-fiv e. Fred W i 11 i ams
blasted a three-run homer in Friday's game and had three-for-four
in the title contest.
Dan Lewis had a perfect day at
the plate for the Recruits on Tuesday in the clincher with three hits
in three at-bats, to lead the 17-hit
barrage by the Recruits. Scoring
fast, the champs rang up six fast
runs in the first inning and added
four more in the second to ice the
win quickly.
For added measure, they tallied
two runs in the third and two more
in the fifth.
The Rceruits thus concluded a
most successful season, in which
they romped to six straight wins
for an undefeated performance. The
closets threat came from their National League rivals, the Snafus,
who lost a close 5-4 decision in the
third contest of the season. Clem
Gavenus pitched each of the Recruits' games for a perfect 6-0
season's record.

Tomorrow the Wilkes College
tennis team will meet the Juniata
Indians in their first home meet.
A youthful Wilkes team will attempt to overpower the experienced
squad of Juniata courtmen at 2
p.m. in Kirby Park. The Colonels
are confident of a win because of
valuable experience gained through
six games played on foreign courts
this year.
Last Thursday the Colonels
played the over-rated Susquehanna
Crusaders, but lost, 6-3. Led by
Dirk Dunlap and Paul Bleifer, the
team showed their potential power
but dropped the match, 6-3. In the
singles Jim Swaback showed his
best form of the season but dropped
the set, 7-5, 6-4. Ira Himmel then
lost a close set, 6-4, 10-8.
Paul Bleifer turned the tables
on the Crusaders when he defeated
his man by the score of 6-4, 7-5.
Dunlap followed with another win,
6-0, 4-6, 7-5. Bill Woll then lost
a tight set, 4-6, 6-4, 9-7. Jack
Thomas was outscored, 8-6, 6-4.
In the doubl es, the combination
of Dunlap and Bleifer proved decisive over their opponents, 6-2,
4-6, 9-7.
The combinations of
Himmel-Swaback and Thomas-Halperin were then edged in closely
contested matches.
On Tuesday the t eam was overpowered by the Ursinus Bears, 7-0.
The doubles match of Himmel and
Bleifer was rained out when the
combination was winning, 4-3. The
team got off to a poor start when
Jim Swaback lost, 6-0, 6-0, to the
Grizzlies' number one man.
Bob Ontko raises a cloud of dust to beat the throw.

Tomorrow the Colonels will meet
the Lebanon Valley Dutchmen at
Annville, Pa. The down-staters
are coached by Frank Etchberger
and center their attack around returning lettermen Art Ford and
Doug Ross, pitchers; Karl Wesla wski and William Glazer, outfielders; and Darryl Myers, second
base.
-Bill DeLiberty, the team captain,
who harassed Wilkes on the football field and the basketball court,
will be missing from the Dutchmen's lineup. DeLiberty is not
playing this season on doctor's advice.
Wilkes defeated Lebanon Valley
last year, 4-2.
Monday the diamondmen open
their final home stand against Albright College and close out the
home season with Ursinus the fol~
lowing day. Albright boasts a 5-i
record as of last week, with victories over Gettysburg and Ursinus ..
Fireballer Fred Dietzel is responsible for a majority of the Lions•·
wins and has struck out 15 batters
in one game and 12 in another.
The Lions pack plenty of wallop
in their lineup with all stickers
capable of hitting the long ball.
Last campaign the Colonels trimmed Albright by the score of 6-2 .
Tuesday the team completes the
home season against the Ursinus
Bears at Artillery Pa1,k. Game
time is 4 p.m. The Colonels will
be out to make it two in a row over
the Bears, having won, 3-2, last
season.
Rider Nips Colonels
Last Saturday Wilkes came close
to upsetting a highly confident
Rider outfit but finally succumbed
to the Broncs, 6-5. Rider jumped
off to a three-run lead in the second
inning on a walk, two singles and
a base-clearing triple by second
baseman Bob Heist. Wilkes came
back with two runs in the third
when Don Goobic singled, and
scored on John Harvey's groundout.
Rider scored two more runs in
the fourt h and the Colnels matched
them in their half of the inning.
Ralph Hendershot led off with a
single and Bobby Ontko r eached
base on an error, both men advanced on a throwing error and
J erry Lawrence slashed a single to
bring home both runners.
In the sixth, Hendershot hit a
430-foot double, advanced to third
on a n infield hit by Ontko, and
scored on a hit by Sam Zgarski.
Wilkes threatened in the seventh,
loading the bases with two out, but
a runner was out at home attempting to score on a wild pitch.
Goobic, Hendershot, Ontko, and
Lawrence had two hits apiece for
the Colonels.
Monday the team went down to
defeat at the hands of a powerful
Ithaca nine in an abbreviated cont est, 10-2. The game was called at
the end of 4 ½ innings because of
rain.
The Bombers unloaded 13 hits to
put the game out of the Colonels'
reach. Jerry Lawrence once again
came throug h with two base hits.
He has accomplished this feat in
the last fiv e games, as did Paul
Aquilino. One of Aquilino's hits
was a double to drive in a run.
John Harvey and Sam Zgarski
collect ed the only other Wilkes hits.

BOB MORAN VICTIM OF SURPRISE PARTY,
ENDS NIGHT BY 'BLOWING HIS OWN HORN'
Students, mends, and associates of Band director Bob Moran
recently held a surprise farewell party in his honor at the Kingston American Legion Home.
The popular bandleader, under
the impression that he was to appear at the Legion to play for a
private party, walked in on over
100 people already assembled and
waiting, with flashbulbs, brass ensemble to play a fanfare, and a
gaily decorated banquet table.
One of the key figures in planning the party, Miss Phyllis Clark,
was also surprised to discover that
she, too, had a seat of honor at the
table and was honored with a
going-away gift of a portable radio.
Mr. John Detroy acted as toastmaster and devoted his remarks to
reminiscences of his association
with Mr. Moran. Then Wayne
Walters and Bill Peters presented
an original work of music in honor
of the guest.
Bob Olivia and the music department's student body presented a
skit and played a brass ensemble
piece entitled "Salute to Robert E .
Moran."

Volume XXIII consisted of twenty-five six-page, two eightpage and one four-page papers, for a grand total of 170 pages

As a newspaper cannot function without reporters, neither
can it·run wit~out an adviser. Mr. Francis J. Salley, the Beacon
adviser, has been, in our opinion, a perfect adviser. He did not

catching him off guard with our editorials every so often.
After the stories are written and the paper is ready to go
to press, the Schmidts step into the picture. Schmidt's Printery

Dear Madamoiselle, the Editor:
Since reading your note in a
Bea~on of several w~eks ago concernmg your expectation of ~ letter
from me, I have been trymg to
think of what to say in such a letter. Usually one must be rather
concerned about some problem befor_e he works up enou_gh steam to
"'.r1~e a let!er to an ed~tor, and 111:Y
difficulty_ is that this academic
year, which draws to a close all too
soon has been one unmarred by
even' the least of irritations.
My experience as advisor to the
Class of Sixty-two, the honorable
frosh, has been most pleasant. The
Freshmen had all the breaks, no
one_ crowded th~m out of the gymnasmm on meetmg days. They ~ad
the ~est dates on the calendar w1t~out interference. The elect~d off1cers were on the Dean's List for
the first semester. Their class
meetings were sparkling examples
of proper parliamentary procedure
so that not once were the officers
mixed up with illegal motions, etc.
The pride which all of the stude?ts, not just the . majors . in
sc1e~ce, have ta~en m ke~p!ng
sta~k Hall as bright :1nd shmm~
as 1t was on the day 1t was ded1cated has been a constant joy.
Cigarette butts neither litter the
floor nor do footprints mar the
walls. The biology majors have
cleaned the table tops meticulously
before leaving the laboratories.
'.(Jsed paper towels have been placed
m waste baskets carefully and the
gentlemanl_y students have kept ~he
wash basins in the lavatories
sparkling.
The dormitory students have
sung the praises of the food they
have been served. Oh, some have
groused about eating too much but
one cannot expect things to be too
pei:£ect. But listen to this item
w~1ch I learned_ as a member of the
~ibra~y Com~ittee. For th e first
time m_ th e hiS t ory of th e college
not a smgle book has been lost by
the library. Imagine, a perfect
record! Not one volume has disappeared from the open stacks.
My students in Biology 100 last
fall were especially· well prepared
to use _the English language. Try
as I might I was_unabl~ to find one
st udent ~ho was weak m gramm~r
or spellm? a nd consequent_!~ did
not turn m any E for deficiency
in the use of English. Not only
were they articulate no one cut my
classes.
And such promptness!
Every student was in his seat when
the bell rang and their politeness
in listening to my lectures with
rapt att~ntion w8:s divine. Their
penetrating questions rev~aled. an
un_su~pected grasp of b~ological
prmc1ples and I had practically to
drive them from the room at the
close of each period.
I was fortunate enough to attend
a few dances at which I noted tremendous social development. Every
girl who_ w_ent to a dance found hersel~ wh1rh~g about the_ floor the
entire evemng; not a smgle wall
flower could I find. And the men
were so gallant and such smooth
dancers! How my heart swelled
with pride when I saw our male
students attired in white shirts,
ties, and neatly pressed suits instead of sweaters, leather jackets,
and sport shirts as has been the
custom in the past.
Thus it has been all year. I certainly hate to disappoint you,
Madamois'elle, the Editor, but I
just cannot think of a solitary item
with which I am dissatisfied. I believe, if I have read your editorials
correctly, that you share my feelings. If school spirit is at an alltime high, I frankly believe it is
thus because the students have
taken your editorials to heart and
have pitched in with vim, vigor,
and vitality so that success was
inevitable. However, to be honest,
I should confess that I have one
little misgiving. I feel sorry for
whoever (sic) must edit the Beacon
next year. Since everything is so
perfect, nothing remains to be done.
How dull!

by Richard J. Myers
During the paat year, Wilkes student classes and organizations took an active interest in the comm.unity which supports
the College, and em.barked on a program of charity drives which.
in some measure, should show the citizens of Wyoming Valley
that the students have an interest in the affairs of the area.
Many of the projects were designed to supply funds directly to
charitable organizations for distribution at the discretion of the
recipient organizations, other projects were directly concerned with
specific charities in mind.
The Beacon has attempted to r ecap the year's charitable activities,
and with the cooperation of the
Public Relations Director-William
Zdancewicz, has compiled the following report. If any organization
has been slighted, it is a result of
human failure, not through intentional oversight.
In December, Theta Delta Rho
held the first of three charity drives
when it collected, repaired and donated toys and dolls to Captain
William Ramage of the Salvation
Army. Mary Homan, president of
the sorority and chairman of the
drive for repaired toys, made the
presentation to the Salvation Army
which then distributed the toys to
needy children of Wyoming Valley.
The sorority also held an •~Old
Folks' Party" at the college for
residents of the Sutton Home for
Men and the Valley Old Ladies'
Home. This Christmas party was
held at McClintock Hall and was
complete with entertainment, refreshments and gifts.
Then in January, the sorority
held a dance for the benefit of the
local March of Dimes campaign.
Attorney Charles Lemmond, Jr.,
was presented with $125, proceedi!I
of the dance, for the Valley's campaign.
Jaycees
The Wilkes College Chapter of
the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior
Chamber of Commerce repeated its
annual drive for gifts for the Retreat Hospital. Ira Himmel and
John Rentschler were general cochairmen of the drive. Reginald
Trzeskowski, Myron Suseck, and
Himmel presented Dr. Claude H.
Butler, superintendent of the hospital, with the gifts collected.
The list of items shows an endless variety of donations, including:
phonographs, records, books, magazines, lamps, clocks, tobacco, used
clothing, and many other useful
and needed items.
Also, the Jaycees held a children's party for the South Branch
YMCA at Christmas time. They
entertained thirty children ranging
in age from six to ten at the Commons. The children enjoyed candy,
ice cream, and cartoons, and were
treated to an appearance by J oily
Old Saint Nick himself, and live
entertainment by s i n g er s and
dancing.
Cue 'n' Curtain
Cue 'n' Curtain, working with the
Wilkes-,Barre Kiwanis . Club, presented a performance of Irving
Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun,"
with the proceeds going to the
Wyoming Valley Council of Girl
Scouts of America. Proceeds of
the show, $3,500, were presented
to the Kiwanis, who used the funds
to provide improvements and repairs to Girl Scout Camp Onawandah, on the Susquehanna River near
Tunkhannock, Pa.
Freshman Class
The Class of 1962 put on a spaghetti dinner for the benefit of the
Undeprivileged Children of Wyoming Valley. General chairman for
the dinner was Albert Kishel.
Butler Hall
Men of Butler Hall held a sports
dance at their home for the benefit
of the twelve families of the men
who were lost in the tragic January 22 mine disaster at Port Griffith.
General chairman of the
dance was R. T. Mattioli, who reported a net profit of over $214
which was distributed to the twelve
families.
Econ Club
The Economics Club sponsored an
unusual, but highly successful
drive for collecting eyeglasses,
lenses, and frames in the "New
Eyes for the Needy" project. Over
2,000 pairs of glasses or frames
were collected and tui:ned over to,-the New Jersey charity which annually sends the collected items to
needy people in this country and
overseas. General chairman of the
drive was Reginald Trzeskowski.
Sophomore Class
In one of the most hilarious
events ever presented on campus,
the sophomores sponsored a Faculty-Athlete game of basketball played on the backs of donkeys.
About 1,600 people jammed the
gym to witness the game and not
one of them failed to get more than
his money's worth of laughs. The
class president, Gil Davis, presented $337.31 to Dr. Samuel Buckman, chairman of the General Hospital Building Fund Drive.
Choruses
Men and W omenof the two vo"°, ::·
tary choruses combined for severaJ.,concerts for the benefit of building
fund drives of local churches. Following their success in their first
joint appearance at the Edwardsville Eisteddfod, the two groups
presented concerts for Calvary
Episcopal Church, City; Firwood
Methodist Church, City; Dallas
Methodist Church, Dallas; and the-;'
First Methodist Church, Dunmore.'
In addition, the Girls' Chorus
entertained several times at the
Sutton Home and the Old Ladies'
Home. The Collegians, 30-voice
male chorus, presented a full concert at Nanticoke High School in
October. The Men's Club of the
Nanticoke First English Baptist
Church sponsored the concert, and
the proceeds went to that organization's charity purposes.
Juniors
Last week's car-wash, hampered
by bad weather, netted the sponsoring Junior class more than $60,
which will be turned over to the
Wyoming Valley Association for
Mentally Retarded.
Blood Drive
Finally, Wilkes students donated
nearly thirty pints of blood to the
local Red Cross Blood Bank. This
is a double purpose annual charity
project, for the blood is used by
the Valley residents and families
of Wilkes students and faculty
through the Red Cross Blood Bank
program.

the National Union of South Africa
College Students.
The MGA will be held at the National conference of the organiza-

TAKING OVER
Stall Sportswriter
Reviews Statistics
by Dan Lewis
While browsing through the results of the various athletic
events of the school year, it was found that the accumulated
.._ won and lost record of all the Colonel teams showed a 30 and 42
- slate. This record may not appear to be too impressive to some
sports enthusiasts, but on the contrary, considering the ca~i~er
of our opponents and the policy of the college not to subs1d1ze
our athletes, we feel that the various players and teams have
had a most commendable season and proven themselves very
worthy opponents.
Win and loss records never tell
the entire story, just the final results.
Hidden behind the final
records are the close contests decided by one run or a touchdown,
or a measly little foul shot.
Grapplers Shine
Once again the wrestling team
proved to be the pride and joy of
the Colonel followers as they
finished their season undefeated and
topped it off by repeating as Middle
Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic
Conference champions for the thil·d
straight year.
This year, again, the Colonel
football team suffered from lack
of personnel and numerous injuries,
finishing with a win and loss record
of 1 and 8. Here again the records
fail to show the true ability of the
players. Never has so much been
done by so few in a losing cause.
We feel that the footballers should
be commended for their stellar defensive play and "never-say-die"
spirit in the face of overwhelming
odds.
The soccer team seems to have
finally come into its own finishing
with a 7 and 3 record. This has
been the most successful season for
the hooters and we feel it is only a
sample of what is to come. During
homecoming weekend a remark was
heard from an alumnus letterman
to the effect that this year's team
has really improved over past
teams in that they can kick with
both feet. Though made in jest,
it only proves that this year's soccer team was probably the best ever
to take the field in a Wilkes uniform.
Next on the list for review is the
basketball team. Though finishing
with a fairly good 9 and 11 record,
we feel that they could have had
a winning record with the ald of
a few breaks here and there. The
individual ability was there in
abundance but the lack of consistent team play helped to turn Lady
Luck against the Colonels on many
occasions. However, the future appears to be very bright because of
the return of the entire squad.
In its second year of competition
after a layoff of some eight years
or so, the swimming team did a fine
job. Finishing with a 1-3 record
with two meets cancelled, the
splashers showed no lack of ability,
but suffered quite a bit from lack
of experience. This can only be
eliminated by meeting more opponents, so we hope for a heavier
schedule next year to enable the
swimmers to gain the needed experience and put together a wellrounded team.
Our records, incomplete at present, show that the Colonel baseball
nine possesses a 5 and 8 record.
We feel that the lack of a pitching
staff is greatly responsible for the
losing season. The diamondmen
have shown their ability to hit and
field well even though several of
the starting nine are freshmen and
inexperienced in collegiate play.
Relatively new in Wilkes athletics, the golf and tennis teams improved steadily throughout their
abbreviated seasons.
Inclement
weather and the lack of practice
areas hampered both teams considerably, especially the tennis
team, but did not detract from their
fighting spirit. With this spirit and
proven ability, we look for much
better records from both teams
next year.
In closing may we express our
thanks for the many entertaining
and oft-times thrilling contests performed in the various sports arenas
by the numerous Colonel athletes
and say 'so-long and good luck' to
the graduating seniors.

Away Tomorrow
by MORGAN R. DA VIS, Sports Editor
Finals already! Wasn't it just the week before last that we were
over in the Kingston Stadium watching the kickoff against Ithaca?
Maybe we haven't suffered as much as we thought in getting out the
"rag" commonly referred to in lighter moments as the Beacon. At
least the suffering couldn't have been as painful as we had been in
the habit of broadcasting to every pair of available ears unfortunate
enough to be within listening distance.
Since this is now the final editorial of the year, (and possibly of
this young reporter's life) it might be appropriate to reminisce and get
slightly maudlin in regards to journalistic feats and the varying
amounts of prowess of athletic teams. However, since it was slightly
next to impossible to miss the errors that cropped up on the Beacon
sports pages in the past year we will concentrate on describing our
good features - if any exist.
Perhaps it hasn't been too obvious but in our own way we have tried
to be as fair and impartial as we could possibly be. It is a rather
difficult feat to sit in a judicial position and pass judgement on some
of the finest athletes in Wilkes without becoming slightly prejudiced.
In all sincerity we hope that we have offended only the smallest possible
number of people.
THANKS
In all due respect to the people that have at least enjoyed a few
column inches of the last 27 publications of the Beacon (excluding Lennie Dziedzic), we feel that the majority of the credit goes to Dick Myers
for his ever faithful adherence to correct journalistic practices, Editor
Marion Klawonn for her constant criticism and compliments in the
correct places.
Also in line for special awards for putting up with the antics of
the Sports section of the Beacon are Bill Zdancewicz and JoAnne Yurchak, who embody the spirit of many indefatigable virtues. Next year's
sports editor, Ray Yanchus, will need all the diplomacy he can command to regain the good graces of these most important people.
Again placing credit where it belongs, we would like to thank Fred
Jacoby, Dan Lewis, Dave Kline, and Jim Hennighan for their priceless
assistance. The writing team of Jack Thomas and Carl Borr was invaluable. And last, but far from least, the printing industry has more
than made an indelible impression on the Sports writing of this paper
in the form of Pop, Leo, and Ed Schmidt, the Beacon's mechanical department at Schmidt's Printery.
PREDICTIONS
Since the only radical change on the sporting scene that may affect
the foreseeable future is the rise of John Reese to the position of Athletic Director, we predict that there will be a new look in scheduling
intercollegiate sports. Teams such as Scranton U. who have scheduled
swimming events with Wilkes for the past five years and failed to show
up, will be dropped from the schedule. Fledgling teams like the swimming and tennis teams will be matched with teams that are comparable
in experience and size. This tremendous job of Athletic Director has
long been a full-time duty at our expanding school, and the countless
duties of George Ralston have divided his attention among at least
two of his most important posts on campus. We wish both Dean Ralston and John Reese continued good luck and success in their separate
duties.

The Wilkes College baseball team
ends its present campaign tomorrow at Stroudsburg, Pa., when it
meets the East Stroudsburg State
Teachers College Warriors.
The Colonels will be seeking to
finish on a happy note with a victory and trying to avenge last
year's defeat at the hands of the
Teachers.
Mike Dydo will assume the
mound duties for Wilkes with John
Harvey behind the plate. This
senior duo will be closing out its
intercollegiate c a re e r after contributing four outstanding years of
baseball thrills to the students of
Wilkes College.
Dydo has been an all-around performer for the Colonels for 4 seasons, playing first base, second base,
the outfield, and, this season, handling most of the pitching chores
was named the Beacon's "Athlete
of the Year".
Harvey has been the number one
backstop for an equal number of
years. He has provided the baseball teams with fine defensive play,
besides constantly ranking high among the leading hitters and RBI
men.
Wednesday's Results
A fighting Wilkes team got as
hot as the 90 degree weather and
came from behind in the ninth inning Wednesday to defeat the Ursinus Bears, 2-1.
The Colonels trailed, 1-0, as a
result of an Ursinus run in the
fourth, wheri they quickly scored
two runs in the last frame to pick
up their fifth victory.
In the ninth, Ralph Hendershot
doubled with one out; pitcher Mike
Dydo sent a scorching single to
center with Hendershot first holding on at third but tallying when
the throw home skipped off the
catcher's mitt; Bobby Ontko then
reached base on a fielder's choice;
a walk loaded the bases. With the
infield drawn in, first baseman Sam
Zgarski drove a single down the
third base line to score Dydo with
the winning run.
Mike Dydo, the Beacon's Athlete
of the Year, went all the way for
Wilkes, giving up one run, on six
hits, while striking out nine and
walking three.
Wilkes totaled 11 hits for the
contest with Jerry Lawrence producing three, Paul Aquilino two,
Ralph Hendershot two, Dydo two,
and Gene Matthews and Sam Zgarski one each.
Lose to Albright
Monday the team met defeat at
the bats of a strong Albright team,
15-2. The Lions unloaded 15 hits,
including three home runs for the
victory.
Wilkes was only able to get to
Albright's Jack Wertz for five hits,
one a homer by third sacker Bobby
Ontko. The remaining four bingles
went to Sam Zgarski, J. Matthews,
John Delmore, and John Mattey.
Lebanon Valley 7, Wilkes 4
Saturday, with backstop John
Harvey on the mound, the Colonels
were beaten by Lebanon Valley, 74. Harvey, who for four years has
called signals, suddenly found himself pitching in the second inning,
due to an injury to pitcher Pat
Monaghan.
Wilkes jumped off to a two-run
lead in the second, on Mike Dydo's
single, another hit by Bobby Ontko,
an error, and a bingle by Pat Monaghan.
Lebanon Valley tallied one run
in their half of the frame and added
four more in the third.
The Colonels scored their final
runs in the fifth, when shortstop
Jerry Lawrence was safe on an
error, Harvey doubled to score
Lawrence, and centerfielder Ralph
Hendershot singled to tally Harvey.
Ontko and Dydo garnered two hits
apiece for the Colonels.

Bright Defensive Play
Last Friday the Colonel golfers Earn Beacon's Plaudits
completed their season on a somewhat sour note as they lost to Moravian College, 12-6, in Bethlehem.
Despite the cold, rainy weather,
Torn ,Bolko got Moravian off to a
fast start by defeating Bob Januszko, 3-0. Bolko was runner-up for
the State public links crown last
year.
Jay Olexy and Pete Perog garnered the only individual wins for
the Colonels.
Olexy moved around the course
in fine fashion to defeat his opponent by the shutout route, 3-0.
·Perog, in one of the closest
matches of the day, defeated his
opponent, 2½-½, in a corne-frombehind effort. After finishing the
front nine one down, Pete turned
on the steam on the back nine to
finish two up and an 85 stroke total
for the par 71 Bethlehem Municipal
Club course.
Ed Mikolaitis rounded out the
scoring for the linksmen by managing ½ point from his Greyhound
adversary.
The Colonels finished the season
with two wins and six losses.
The results:

versity baseball team, 7-0.
Pitcher Buzz Flanagan limited
Wilkes to two hits while striking
out 15. The Wilkes hits were two
singles by Jerry Lawrence and Sam
Zgarski.
Now it can be told :
One of the best bits of coaching
advice offered to a batter in a crucial situation was given to a Wilkes
sticker this past campaign, when
Coach Pinkowski yelled at a batter
with the count three balls, two
strikes, bases loaded, and the Colonels in dire need of some runs;
"Take it, take it, but hit it if it's
in there." End quote, end of column
for this year.

This semester's last issue of the
'Beacon' brings to the fore a steady
athlete who has been chosen Athlete of the Week. Hot corner man
Bob Ontko's defensive play has
been an invaluable factor in the
excellent Wilkes infield.
Monday at Albright, Ontko p1·0~
vided almost all of the action for
Wilke's. He not only made a few
Bob Ontko
spectacular plays while at third;
but cracked out a home run when
at bat.
•Ontko has starred with the Blue
and Gold all year. His steady dependable defensive play has taken
many a hit from the opponents and
his bat hammered out many hits
for the Colonels. iBob has had two
or more hits in more than a few
games this spring and the Colonels
know that a ball hit toward Ontko
will be well played. Ontko will
be able to play ball for Wilkes for
two more years and his cool steady
play will be a good influence on the
younger · Wilke& players.
Bob Ontko is a sophomore at
Wilkes. He was graduated from
Kingston and while at Wilkes is
studying for an A.B. in Mathematics.
He presently resides in
Kingston.

Elects R. Kry~new~ki
As Next Year s Editor
by Michael Salinsky
Last Thursday, an election was
held during the regular Manuscript
Association meeting to determine
the club's officers for next year.
Results of the election are as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Ronald Kryznewski; Associate Editor, Cynthia
Hagley; and Business Manager,
H arvey Stam bl er.
Editor Kryznewski is following
a liberal arts program here at
Wilkes, with a major in English.
Miss Hagley, also an English major, will be a sophomore next year.
Stambler, who is also moving up
to the sophomore class, is similarly
studying in a liberal arts field and
majoring in English.

versity, Wilkes College is now offerIn an interview with Dr. Farley
ing an opportunity for all those
holding a Bachelor's Degree to earn
a Master's Degree in education
under a three-year graduate program. The first class will be held
on Saturday, October 3 at 12 noon
in Stark Hall, Wilkes-College.
The program consists of 18 semester hours of general education,
six hours of professional education,
and the last six hours will be designed to meet the special n eeds
of the student.
This general education program
will be divided into three phases;
the H um a n i t i e s, the Social
Sciences, and the Natural Sciences.
The first phase, Humanities, will
start October 3.
The instructors will be Dr. Robert L. Chapman, chairman, associate professor of Engli sh at Wilkes
College; Dr. Dani el Gilbert, professor of hi tory at Moravian College ; and Dr. Francis J. Michelini,
associate professor of biology at
Wilkes College. The e instructors
have been chosen because they represent three distinct viewpoints of
the humanities.
The course, "Changing Perspectives Within the Humanities," proposes to increase the student's awareness of the major concerns,
the rival attitudes, and the significant tendencies and discoveries
men have experienced in attempting to understand themselves, their
relations to others, and the world
in which they live.
During the summer phase of the
course, a symposium in education
will be offered which will be centered around principles in psychology, anthropology, sociology and
philosophy developed during the 1·ecent past as they suggest changes
in school practices for all levels.
This program was started at
Temple University in 1955. Each
participating college is under the
direction of Temple University.
Participating in the program are
Albright College, Reading; Franklin and Marshall College, Lancast er ; Lebanon Valley College, Annville; Muhlenberg College, Allentown; Ursinus College, Collegeville; and Wilkes College.
A different phase of the graduate
study will be offered each year during the three-year program at the
above-named colleges, to enable the
students attending to complete
their education at the college nearest to their present location.
Officers
Dick Myers is president of the
group, and Dick Wileman is vicepresident. The positions of secretary, treasurer and librarian are

Al Isl Meell•ngs
it was learned that these innovations could be ready perhaps by
September, 1960.
One of the main reasons for this
new program is the coming of a
Radio Corporation of America
plant to this area. Without these
facilities the RCA corporation
cannot acquire locally the trained
m en necessary for its expansion.
To assure the building of a plant
in this area, it was necessary for
RCA to be convinced that a supply
of skilled men could be obtained
in this area. RCA and Wilkes will
work together in the technical
training of these undergraduates
and those who wish to advance
further in these fields.
Since men who are skilled in
electronics are re.4.?ired, Wilkes
will need equipment and a large
building to h·ouse this eqtrl_pment.
Classro.9m space for new ti,idents
and t he new faculty membexs required to inst-rnct..-1;.hese ~~ students must be provided. A iJOSsibility exists that a new science
building will be erected to fulfill
this need, but this cannot be positively confirmed- as of this wi•iting.
Valley Prosperity Seen
The size of the plant that will
be erected at Mountaintop will be
sufficient to house a minimum of
two thousand employees, and if
labor-management relations are
satisfactory, perhaps almost double that number will be employed
eventuall y.
The engineering department of
this RCA branch will contain over
one hundred men.
This expansion is seen as the beginning of a new era in the history
of Wyoming Valley and surrounding communities; an era in which
a surplus of labor is unknown and
prosperity is not "around the corner" but has arrived at last.

;Major Issues ReviewedBudget, Homecoming,
School Spirit Committee
by Marilyn Krackenfels
In the two Student Government
meetings held since the opening of
the fall semester, the budget,
School Spirit Committee, and the
comi ng Homecoming activities were
among the items discussed.
Dick Salus submitted the following report, showing a balance
of $655 : $88 from the 1958-59
Extra-Curricular Activities Budget; Beacon $303.33; Cue 'n' Curtain $112.88; Debating Society
$144.52; Dor mitories $3.20; Male
Chorus $3.04; Manuscript $8.77;
Amnicola $263.18; Inter-Collegiate
Conference Fund $112.15; Student
Activities $30.26; Women's Chorus
$.91; Contingency Fund $200.00;
E.C.A. Budget $655.88.
It was decided that this balance
be presented in the form of four
$162.50 scholarships to Wilkes
upperclassmen on t he basis of
need, promise of success at Wilkes,
and l eadership record. Forms for
applicants will be available in the
Student Government office for approximately two weeks.
Dick Salus and his committee
comprised of Bill Davis, Rhea Politis and John Hosage, will narrow
the field of applicants down to
eight. The selection of the final
four people will 'be made by Dean
Cole and Dean Ralston.
Jim Stephens was appointed
chairman of the School Spirit Committee, with Doris Gademan as cochairman. The first item on the
School Spirit Committee agenda is
the Homecoming Bonfire slated for
October 3.
The Freshman Class will assist
in this project, and Steve Robertson, a member of the freshman
class, has been appointed chairman.
Cow bells are being purchased by
the Committee to be distributed at
all Wilkes footba ll games.
A special cheering session, roped
off in cr epe paper, is hoped to
foster spirit among both freshmen
and upperclassmen. F lash cards,
to be lettered by TDR, will also be
used at the games.
At present plans are in progress
for a modified buffet- style dinner
dance to be held for undergraduates at the gymnasium as a climax
to Homecoming Weekend. A committee headed by Gwen Gould is
in the process of planning the affair.
A special Student Government
meeting will be held next Tuesday
to discuss Homecoming activities.
Student leaders are welcome.

EDITORIALS -·
In Memoriam
During the summer Wilkes suffered a· great personal
loss when Gilbert S. McClintock, Chairman of the Board
of T~tees, died following a heart attack. Attorney
McClintock was one of the small group of Valley citizens
responsible for the existence of this college as a four.
year institution. He held positions of importance on
every major committee of local interest in the Wyoming
Valley area and the list of these is so vast that the
imagination boggles.
Lawyer, author, historian, philanthropist, cultural
leader-he was alJ, of these and more: but to those of us
at Wilkes, he bore the most revered title of all-friend.
To his memory we humbly dedicate these pages.
Let's Be Reasonable
_Thanks to the Class of 1959, a shiny new bulletin board now
services the campus. No more-we hope-will we read of
Christmas parties six months later, or books for sale when it's
time for_ 9:ad~ation. There is ample room for every organization
to publicize itself and its activities without the need to crowd
other notices out of sight.
However, perhaps some general information about the use
of this board would be useful. From our sources of information
we have learned that students will be allowed a limited amount
of freedom in the use of bulletin space. General notices must
be placed only where they belong, not with notices classed
under "Student Government," "Placement," or other sections of
the board.
Locks will be removed around nine in the morning and replaced at five in the afternoon. Anyone wishing to place notices
thereon outside of these hours is requested to deposit the information in the student mailroom, in the box marked "BULLETIN
BOARD NOTICES." Someone from the Public Relations Office
will pick these up and place them on the bulletin board when
it is opened in the morning.
It is emphasized, however, that these notices are for the
bulletin board. Notices to be added to P.R.O.'s "College
Bulletin" must still be delivered to the third floor of Chase
Hall as in previous years.
If students abuse the privilege of free use of this bulletin
board, we have been assured that steps will be taken to keep
order and neatness even if it means placing the responsibility
for posting notices into the hands of one solitary organization
or individual.
F¢her, those who do post notices are advised-and urgedto reme-ve same as soon as they are no longer applicable.
PostID'S; should not exceed dimensions of 8x l O inches for obvious
reasons.
The 'Beacon' Grows
For a change, the usual first-issue plea for help in the Beacon
office is to be tempered considerably. We were gratified to be
greeted by nearly twenty aspiring reporters at the Monday night
meeting, and assurances of aid from another dozen or so who
will be working for the paper in the next week or two.
The response from the freshman class has been particularly
encouraging. Seventeen people indicated on the forms provided
by the Student Leaders that they wished to work on the staff and
most of these have already visited the offices for assignments.
Those who have not done so will be contacted by us directly
within a week. For the first time in the memory of old-time
Beacon hands, more reporters than assignments were in the
offices of the newspaper this week.
We wouldn't want this fact to discourage others, however.
The Beacon provides a working knowledge of practical journalism through the experimental attempts of a group of amateurs
who acquire that knowledge through the age-old "trial and error"
school. It's great fun, good experience, broadens one's knowledge of campus personalities and activities, and may well lead
to the discovery of a future Pulitzer Prize winner.
There is plenty of work for plenty of people. Therefore, we
cordially extend an invitation to all people interested in newswriting, editing, artwork and cartoons, photography, and in the
business management of the paper to "come up and see us
sometime." Tuesday is the day, after 2:00 p.m., third floor, 159

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON
Colonels Open Against Dutchmen
ILockeroom Chatter I
By RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor
Another semester is here. another football season is about to open,
another college newspaper ts being put to press, and another new
sports editor is attempting t o get over the opening hurdles and go
home for food and sleep.
Kng Football is here and will be with us from the high school,
college, and pro viewpoi nts, up to the 'Bowl' games of January 1, and
further on to the 'Pro Bowl' sometime in the middle of that month.
There's no getting away from it. It'll scream out at you every Saturday and Sunday from the radio and TV. Sunday sports headlines will
glorify it to t he point where you ma y not be able to find the score of
your favorite baseball t eam as they come down the wire, battling for
the pennant. If you look real close, a one inch spread will probably
be given to yo ur "one and only's" on the bottom of page five. Good
Hunting. When football reigns, it reigns. It dictates like Khrushchev.
So, accept the fact, try to live with it, and it'll be go ne in fo ur short
months.
Football also r eturns to Wilkes with the Colonels opening the
campaign tomorrow against a strong Lebanon Valley aggregation.
If you are expecting t o follow this column and read some Monday
morning quarterbacking talk, stop right here. I'm in the fortunate
position of also being the Saturday afternoon QB, a nd I don't intend
to cut off my own head even if that wo uld get rid of twenty pounds
of ugly fat.
This colum n will concern itself mainly with w hat the column indicat es, lockerrom chatter. This is brought about by the fact that I
spend a little time in lockerrooms and may be able to present some
sidelights and item s that never reach the student body. (With the
coaches' approval, of course.)
Speaking of coaches, congratulations are in order to Mr. Pinkowski
on his recent marriage to Wilkes coed Mary Lou Bender. Coach Pinkowski, a confirmed bachelor until he suggested bringing dates to last
year's football party, entangled alliances with Mary Lou in late August.
Quoted on the first month of ma rried life, "Pinky" said, "Love those
hot, home-cooked meals."
The marriage bug seem s to have searched into the student body,
too. Basketball ers George Gacha and Clem Gavenas a lso bit the dust
over the vacation . George was annexed by Misericordia graduate
Marge Smith, whil e Clem went strolling with Wilkes coed Judy Wa rnick . Rum or has it that -yo u have to be marri ed before being considered for a starting position on the basketball team . The total is
now three down, and who will be the lucky two to make it five?

Dirk Budd,
Happy Birthday!
Looks like the little birdie who keeps us up to date on James Bohning
campus doings failed to leave his nest last week. We overJoin Faculty
looked the birthday of our President, Dr. Eugene S. Farley.
The birthday was Tuesday and our "birdie" dropped the
EDITORIALS -
nugget of information that evening while the Beacon staff was
in the process of preparing this week's issue. Let us hasten to
correct this unintentional oversight; permit us to extend our
heartiest best wishes to the "Great White Father."
For over two decades, Dr. Farley has been the guiding hand
of the College in its progress from a rented-office junior college
to its present position of one of the most highly regarded small
Liberal Arts colleges in the country.
The entire Beacon staff joins the students, faculty and administration in the sincere hope for many more happy, fruitful
and productive years for a devoted community leader.
Stop, Look, Listen
On the same day we discovered the above intelligence, we
were disturbed to notice that an old problem has reared its ugly
head once more. After Tuesday's superb assembly program,
the hungry crowd surged into South Franklin Street with careless
abandon, nearly upended a somewhat non-plussed traffic policeman, and, blithely risking life and limb, blocked cars and pedestrians, ignored red lights, in general made the area a somewhat
dangerous place to be found.
Anyone not wishing to walk the sidewalks in the general
direction of the Commons was hard put to make his way against
the stampede.
We realize fully that there was no deliberate malice motivating that mob scene, but feel strongly that a little common
sense and common courtesy can make the lot of our neighbors
a somewhat happier one.
Besides the obvious discourtesy this behavior reveals, there
is a factor of safety to be considered. As motorists, most of us
have been in situations where pedestrians have interfered with
our right of way. Then, with annoyance and chagrin, we have
stewed and fretted while allowing the obstruction to run its
course.
There is little doubt that the motorists on Franklin Street
Tuesday morning experienced the same frustration. Students,
particularly those who drive, would do well to remember that
when they leave their cars they become pedestrians themselves
and should extenc:l to drivers the same considerations they expect
when driving.
To quote a well-worn phrase, "Safety costs nothing; use it
freely."
What Is a Newspaper?
Somewhere around the beginning of the school year, it
would be advisable for an organization such as this paper to
make a general statement of its intentions and its policy.
Perhaps our aims can be summed up best by answering
the question: What is a newspaper?
We have borrowed the answer from some now-forgotten
source, not our own original writing, but adequate for our purposes:
A newspaper is a disseminator of happenings, an advertising medium for businesses. It is both of these, plus a number
of things; but above all it is a free voice.
People may disagree as to what a paper should do, but
most will agree that a paper must be free . No one denies that
,freedom can be abused; nevertheless, freedom must be qualified,
when necessary, by truth, decency and high ideals.
In the pursuit of noble goals we are not infallible. When
commenting editorially we believe we are right. And because
we are free to voice our opinions, this same freedom which applies also to our readers, who are always free to arrive at their
own opinions.
Journalistic freedom on the campus means a newspaper
with an opinion, a living newspaper. Not a tool for a few, but
a mirror for all; an independent voice reaching out to everyone.
When we fail to achieve these goals, it is the right and duty of
our readers to tell us so. We expect no praise and welcome
criticism. We know no other way to improve ourselves.

Tony Thomas, aquatic instructor
of the Y.M.C.A., and his assistant,
Dick Bradshaw, will conduct the
course. Any further questions may
be directed to them. Mr. Thomas
strongly urges that anyone seeking
a job as a life guard next summer

possibly the third week in November. Cue 'n' Curtain will present a
two-act play entitled "The Man

probably be "The Appolo of Bellac," written by Jean Giraudoux
and adapted by Maurice Valency.
Notices concerning the casting of
the two plays will be posted on the
call board in front of Chase Theater
during the week. Mr. Alfred S.
Groh, the advisor of Cue 'n' Curtain, will be in charge of the casting and the directing of the productions.

A car caravan of Wilkes students is being planned for tomorrow's
game at Chester , Pa. A number of automobil es have been signed up
to m ake the trip a nd a la rge contingent of Colonel rooters should be
on hand when the team takes the field against PMC.
Anyone interested in becoming part of the caravan, wh ether yo u

INJURIES MOUNT
The Wilkes football forces rec eived another dent t his past week
when it was learned that tack le J cny Loewen will be out of action for
possibly four w eeks with a fractme of the leg. Big J oe Stralka will
also be sidelined longer tha n expect ed and will not be a rnilable for dut y
this Saturday against PMC.
End Ra y Marchakaitus is still hobbling on a weak ank le but is
r eported as bein g r eady for limited a ction a nd s hould be in the thick of
things tomorrow.
During the past week scrim ma,,;e also took its toll on t he coa{!hing
staff. The sam e day that Loewe n was in j ured, Coach P inkowsk i who
is always r eady when it co mes t o a little head-banging (he never wears
a helmet) rec eived a knee injury that put him on the sidelines for the
rest of that day a nd ma ybe fo r the r ema inder of t h e season.
Line coach George Lewis, who wasn't taking any chances after
get ti ng racked up in a previous scrimmage, donn ed pads for the festivities but they were unable to keep him off t h e banged up list a s h e
r eceived a badly swollen hand forh is efforts .
Both coaches quickly beat a path to the hospita l t he next A.M.
for X-rays to determine the extent of the injuries. The old bones just
aren't w hat t hey used to be a nd sometimes it takes th e ha rd way to
find that out.

Super Sub!
It's been said that the atomic submarine
"Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps _for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it
from us ) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite
respectable.

Sanlayana and Dewey Biographies
Will Be Published Oclober 20th
On the centennial anniversary of Prof. John Dewey's birth,
Oct. 20, there will be published an unusual treatment of his life
ond work in "Dialogue on John Dewey," to be released by
Horizon Press, New York. A companion volume, " Dialogue on
'George Santayana," will appear the same day. Both books in
this series of dialogues on modem philosophers are edited by
Dr. Corliss Lamont of Columbia University.
The two books contain transcriptions of tape-recorded personal
conversations about the g reat phiIosophers by their intimate fri ends
and colleagues. The participants
in the spirited discussion on Professor Dewey, whose views are still
the subject of passionate controversy, are: Professors Jam es Gutmann, Ernest Nagel, John H. Randall, Jr., Herbert W . Schneider and
Mr. Milton Halsey Thomas, all of
Columbia University; Prof. Horace
M. Kallen of the New School for
Social Research and Dr. Alvin
Johnson, director emeritus of the
N ew School; Dr. Harry W. Laidler,
director emeritus of the League for
Industrial Democracy; Dr. Harold
Taylor, president of Sarah Lawrence College ; Mr. James T. Farrell, author; and Dr. Lamont.
Participants in the dialogue on
Santayana include Professors Gutn ann, Kallen, Nagel, Randall,
Schneider, Dr. Lamont; and Prof.
Milton Munitz of New York University.
Professor Kallen, who
was for years assistant to Santa.yana, leads this discussion which
contains many revealing sidelights
on the complex personality whose
literary essays and philosophical
works have now becom e established
as classics.

Queen-Nominating Letters
Due Tuesday at Noon
by Jean Shofranko
All letters for nomination of the Homecoming Queen must be submitted to the
Beacon by Tuesday, October 20, at noon.
The selection of the sixth annual
Homecoming Queen and two princesses
is limited to senior coeds and terminal
students. Any member of the student
body who wishes to submit a nomination
must write a letter of nomination to the
Beacon Editor, seal it in an envelope,
and place it in the Beacon mailbox, located in the student activities mailroom,
basement of Chase Hall.
Letters need not be lengthy or involved.
However, to be considered valid, all
letters must be signed. If any student
feels that he would like to aid the selection committee by stating r easons for bis
nomination he is urged to do so.
Students should base their nominations
on the coed's personality, appearance,
academic standing, and contribution to
campus life. Last year's choice was Miss
Mary Jean Broody, queen, and Misses
·B arbara Federer and Mary Louise Spinelli, princesses.
Although the identity of the queen and
her attendants will be announced Friday,
October 23, the royal court will be officially crowned Saturday at halftime activities of the Wilkes-Lycoming football •
game.
The Court will reign over all Homecoming activities, beginning with the bonfire Friday evening and concluding with

Admiral Harold R. Stark was elected
chairman of the board of trustees at a
regular meeting of the board held in
Parrish Hall.
Admiral Stark has been associated with
Wilkes since 19'3'7, at which time he and
Mrs. Stark donated their former home at
184 South River Street to the college.
The home was named Chase Hall at
the r equest of the Admiral as a memorial
to Fred M. Chase and his wife, Admiral
Stark's sister.
Admiral Stark is the former Chief of
Naval Operations and Commander of
European Naval Forces during World
War II.
In his European naval capacity during
World War II he played a vital role in
the events which led to the final victory
in Europe, and for his service, he was
a w a r d e d two Distinguished Service
Medals, one each for the Army and Navy.
In 1956 friends of Admiral Stark donated the necessary funds to the college
for the erection of the new science hall
and suggested that this building be named
in honor of Admiral Stark.
The new Admiral Stark Science Hall
has greatly improved the college's facilities, and it is significant that without the
erection of this modern building, the college would have been unable to make
commitments required to bring Radio
Corporation of America to Wilkes-Barre.
Admiral Stark follows in the footsteps
of the late Gilbert S. McClintock who
had served as board chairman until his
<lea.th recently.
Admiral Stark has been a member of
the college board of trustees since 1949,
and was born and raised in the city of
Wilkes-Barre.
He has always maintained strong ties
with Wil<kes~Barre, even throughout his
varied and extended service career.
100 %.
The press comes from the cradle of modem printing, Germany. One of the results of the miraculous
recovery of that defeated nation has been an upswing
in industrial output. This modem printing giant from
overseas will be a welcome addition to the Beacon's
plans for greater papers, better journalistic principles,
and a strict adherence to the quest for constant selfimprovement.
Cause of the magazine style this week was the
shift from the old press to the new. The old one is now
completely dismantled and on its way to its metallic
graveyard.
The new one is being assembled under the direct
supervision of German workmen from the manufacturer. A certain amount of trouble was expected and encountered. In ironing out the "bugs," unavoidable delays in assembly forced the Beacon to seek aid
from a smaller press, capable only of handling pages
such as make up this week's edition.
We hope that the students will bear with us in this
brief transitional period. Although the casual observer,
in all probability, will not notice the difference, we can
assure our readers that the speedier, more efficient
service will result in other improvements perhaps more
noticeable.
When the modernization is complete, the Schmidts

plan an open-house celebration. At that time, we
would be pleased to see our readers drop in to get
some idea of the methods used in printing the Beacon.
Your Newspaper ... Freedom's Textbook
The 20th annual observance of National Newspaper Week takes place this year from October 15-21.
The theme of the observance is as the above headline
indicates, the role of newspapers in safeguarding Freedom.
While the humble efforts of your campus newspaper may fall far short of professional standards, a
newspaper, regardless of its size or importance or influence, is echoing the ringing phrases of one of
history's most stirring documents, commonly called the
"Bill of Rights."
Observe your favorite papers closely. Read them
well. The news reports are as factual and objective as
human beings with human failings can make them.
Special writers and columnists offer a variety of viewpoints on subjects universal in scope.
Look for the emblem of National Newspaper Week.
Designed by Nick Ruggieri, staff artist of the Harrisburg, Pa. Patriot-News, it portrays the theme with the
design of an open textbook and a hand bearing a
rolled newspaper in the form of a freedom torch.
Let that light shine through the rolled pages and
illumine your thoughts. Become aware of your surroundings and the day-to-day happenings in the world
which affect your life directly or indirectly.
Being educated goes further than gleaning facts,
dull and dry, from musty texts. Education demands a
rounded person; education means more than simply
learning. Being informed is vital, let Freedom's Textbook help you.

The Campus Observer
The Observer received a letter last
Tuesday containing some excellent ideas
and views on Initiation. The letter could
not be printed. It was unsigned, except
for the words "A Disappointed Upperclassman." Unsigned letters cannot be
printed, although name will be withheld
on request. Several pointed questions
were asked concerning Initiation, such as:
Who has the final say on the matter ...
the student government? The upperclassmen, for the most part, were left
in the dark!
The announcement Friday night that
Initiation was over startled most of the
student body. What pressures were
exerted, and by whom, to cause such an
unscheduled and sudden ending to the
Initiation program? The student body
in genera.I and the ·Observer in •p articular
would like answers to these questions.
Open Letter
Open letter to C. Eugene Stickler,
President Barre Hall:
Not wishing to continue this difference
of opinion indefinitely, you will find here-
in a short statement in answer to your
letter. In the second paragraph, you
mention "fraternalism and spirit" as an
attribute of Barre Hall.
Fraternalism and s,pirit should be
standard procedure in all dorms. They
are not standard procedure; thus the lack
of school spirit. If Barre Hall is all you
say it is, The Observer congratulates you,
but that's a -big "if." As the saying
goes, "seeing is believing."
Another Open Letter
Open letter to Dave Roebuck, Secretary, Butler Hall:
For your information, The Observer
did make a few sensible suggestions as
to what the Initiation program should
be like.
In your last paragraph, you state
" . . . infantile displays, with a few exceptions, are within bounds." It was
these few exceptions that were important. The Observer made a point of them
because they were the exceptions, not
the rule.

A
Sentence Carried Out!
Freshmen and many other students
were surprised last Friday night at the
United Fund Dance when Ira Himmel
carried out his "sentence." Himmel had
been told to learn to play a musical instrument, which he would play at the
dance.
Himmel, who has played the banjo for
several years, was well prepared. The
freshmen somehow got wind of his ability on the banjo, and tried to "doublecross' the upperclassmen by presenting
Himmel with a clarinet. Unknown to
the fr eshmen, he has played the clarinet
for nine yea.rs.
Moral: You can't outsmart an upperclassman.
Sign Those Letters
All letters addressed to this column
will be printed the week they are received, and answered the following week
in this column. Letters pro and con may
be addressed to The Campus Observer,
care of the Beacon.

Letters To The Editor:

Fund Drive
In High Gear
October 11, 1959
Dear Mr. Editor:
May I comment on the headline in The
Beacon of October the ninth which stated
"Faculty, Students, Qlubs Asked to Help
Dr. Reif Meet Goal"? I wish to emphasize that it is Wilkes College, not Mr.
Reif, which will meet its goal.
And, as you know, thirty-eight hundred
and fifty dollars is the quota assigned
Wilkes College as its share of the amount
to be raised by the Private Schools Section of the Public Service Division in the
1960 United Fund Campaign.
Contributions on campus are credited
to !our groups·: administration, faculty,
mamtenance, and students.
Nearly
everyone in the first three groups has
given generously. Now we expect a good
showing from the students who can raise
fifteen hundred dollars easily if all the
classes do as well as the Freshman Class
has done thus far.
Outside of education which is, of
course, the principal goal of Wilkes College, the annual United Fund Campaign
is the only all-college function in which
everyone on campus can and does pa,r ticipate.
Mr. Jervis' maintenance workers, the
administration (including all of those
wonderful office workers), each member
of the faculty, and, I hope, every single
student at Wilkes College - all make
possible the attainment of our common
goal.
As I see it, each of us in giving freely
to the /United Fund is demonstrating a
loyalty without which we would be much
the poorer. By contributing we express
loyalty to the Wyoming Valley community, to Wilkes College, and to our personal a-spiration of being educated men and
women as expressed by Point Eight in
the Marks of an Educated Man.
Thus to me the attainment of our goal
in a United Fund Campaign is one of
the grandest expressions of school spirit
possible.
Even though promoting the United
Fund on campus r equires much time on
my part, I _am always gratified to be able
to say at the final repo1t meeting of the
campaign that Wilkes College has "gone
over the top." Thus I wish to thank
everyone on campus for his share in
what I am now sure will be a successful
drive this year.
Res•p ectfully,
Chas B. Reif

As Student Gifts Hit 27 %
by Gloria Zaludek
Wilkes College students are shifting
into high gear in order to reach the goal
set for the United Fund Campaign of
Luzerne County.
The student contributions now total
$402. This is approximately 27 per cent
of the announced student quota of $1500.
The Freshmen made the initial class contribution of $152 - the profit from the
Freshman-sponsored United Fund dance
held last Friday evening in the gym.
Donations from the Chemistry and
History Clubs and individual contributions, have been received. However, this
years returns are below the amount received at this. time last year.
As announced, various class committees were organized to collect individual
donations from day students. Chairmen
of these committees are: John Mulhall
senior class president; Gilbert Davis'
junior class president; and Murray Da,vis:
sophomore class treasurer.
The Freshman Advisory Committee
has appointed a committee for freshman
collections, and dormitory students will
aid t_he United Fund through Allyn Jones,
president of the Inter-Dormitory Council.
On October 28, Dr. Reif, director of
the 1960 United Fund Campaign at
Wilkes, will attend the U.F. dinner where
he will deliver the final report on the
success of the campus drive.

from the Pennsylvania State University
who met with Governor David Lawrence
and enjoyed a .p ress conference as part
of their training in the Penn State School

universally accepted inadvisability of
low faculty salaries.

Women Voters' League
Will Exhibit Election Aids
Dean of Women, Librarian/ Retailer,
Among New Members of Faculty
The League of Women Voters of
Wilkes-Barre once more plan to display
election information for the enlightenm ent of Wilkes students on election procedures. The display, as last year, will
be in the Commons on Tuesday, October
27, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
League members will -b e present at the
display to distribute the League's Voter's
Guide, to answer questions about the
issues of the coming elections, or about
voting procedures.
The Guide contains information supplied by the candidates themselves and
will be useful in aiding new voters in
the student body -to decide which candidates will receive their first votes .
As college enrollments swell everywhere, more students than ever before
are coming of age during their college
careers. As a group they are probably
the best informed on government and
public affairs of any new voters added
to the rolls.
This makes offering information on
voting and issues to college students a
similar operation to carrying coals to
New Castle.
The League realizes, however, that no-t
all potential voters register as soon as
they are qualified, or begin promptly to
exercise that most precious birthday gift
of their adult lives, the right to vote.
A voter becomes of age on the day BEFORE his twenty-first birthday. The
registration commission of the County
boards of election may register any person whose birthday falls on the day after
any election or prior thereto during the
regular registration period, provided the
elector is otherwise qualified.
Students are urged to take note of this
display and to use the guides provided
by the League.
The League, a non-partisan organization, is interest ed in seeing that the
voters of the Valley are as fully informed
of the candidates and the issues as possible. The L eague is not concerned -..vith
how or for whom the individual votes,
but whether or not he does vote.
This is the fourth in a series of articles about the new instructors at Wilkes.
The purpose of these articles is to acquaint the students with these instructors
and their backgrounds.
SOPHOMORE CLASS MEETING
The Sophomore Class will hold a class
meeting Monday at noon in the Jewish
Community Center for the purpose of
discussing plans for the Class dance to
be held on November 6. All class members are urged to be present.

Hazing Grinds to Halt
After Himmel Fiddles
by Marilyn ,K rackenfels
Last Friday at the United Fund Dance,
the upperclassmen affiliated with freshman hazing carr.ied out the sentences
handed them by the frosh a.t last week's
"turn-about" tribunal.
Judge Ira Himmel, sentenced to master
a musical instrument within twenty-four
hours, displayed talent heretofore unknown before the large crowd. He gave
creditable r enditions on both clarinet and
banjo. Bob King, an executioner on the
,t ribunal, accompanied Himmel on the
bongo drums.
Steve Cooney, prosecuting attorney;
Bill Roots, defense attorney; Bob Washburn, co-chairman of the hazing program, and several other upperclassmen
campus leaders entertained the audience
with two vocal selections, a .p arody on
"Sweet Violets" and "On Top of Old
Smokey."
The big surprise of the evening, saved
for the last item on the intermission
agenda, was Gordon Roberts' annoncem ent that hazing was officially ended.
However - and Roberts placed great
stress on the word "however" - dorm
hazing was decreed to be still in force,
including the infamous "Hell Night."

Wesleyan University Unveils Plan
For Giving Courses Without Grades
by Steve Cooney
Courses without a grading system is no longer a dream of the future,
but a reality. Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut has adopted
a system of gradeless crediting on a limited basis to junior and senior classes.
The "course without grade" system
was first proposed to the administration
by the student curriculum committee,
which decided to give it a one-year trial
beginning this fall. Under the plan, each
junior and senior, as a part of his regular
quota of courses, is permitted to elect
each semester one course for which he
will be granted the usual academic credit,
but without an official grade on his
record.
This has often been confused with the
5
credit-audit system, but under the audit
syst em the records indicate that the
course was only audited. Under the new
plan the stud ent is given regular credit.
If the student fails to achieve a minimum standing of performance sufficient
for cred it, the student would receive no
credit for the co urse. All that is necessary to m eet the r eq uirements is that
the student p erform the work and otherwise fulfill all the r egular requirem ents
of the course to the satisfaction of the
instructor.
The main advantage of the new syst em is a better outlook on the values of
a college education. Students may concentrate fully on gaining a well rounded
education, instead of concentrating their
time on achieving grades.
Car Competition Set
In Homecoming Parade
Preceding the Homecoming game with
Lycoming, the students will parade in a
car caravan from the campus to Kingston
Stadium. The ,parade is under the direction of the Wilkes Chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
Competition will be held for the best
decorated car in the caravan. Judging
will be based on originality of thought.
All cars entered will be given numbers
and will be judged en route. Announcement of the winners will be made between the halves, of the game.
In the lead cars will be the Homecoming Queen, her court of Princesses
and escorts, Dr. and Mrs. Farley, Cheerleaders and officers of the Alumni Association.
The Association has obtained the services of one of the E"ast's top Drum and
Bugle Corps to march in the parade.
Arrangements for the entire caravan
were made by Skip Gladstone, general
chairman and by Gil Davis and George
Reynolds.

Colonels Go Bear-Hunting Tomorrow,
Seek lo Spoil Ursinus Homecoming
The Colonels carry their colors to Collegeville, Pa., tomorrow when they
meet the Ursinus Bears at 2:00 p.m.
Both teams will be after their initial victory, the Colonel record standing
at 0-3, and the Ursinus slate at 0-2. The Bears have been roughed up in their
two outings, having lost to Susquehanna, 63-0, and to Johns Hopkins, 50-6.
Coach Ray Gurzynski started the season with 27 players, one of the smallest
turnouts ever r eported at the Collegeville
institution. Included in this group are
13 lettermen, all of whom saw action
against Wilkes last year in the Homecoming game. Wilkes was the v.ictor
in that contest, 8-0.
A situation which saw only four Ursinus freshmen report for football has been
bri-ghtened by the addition of several
upperclassmen who never played previously.
This group includes senior
heavyweight wrestler Wally Nielsen who
weighs in at 285 pounds and junior fullback Jerry Leatherman, a transfer from
Juniata.
Coach Gurzynski still has All-ECAC
center Bob Peterson, tackle Holly Fitts,
and junior John Brackin to plug the
center of the line, and has two veteran
quarterbacks in Ted Kershner and John
Detweiler. Added help is expected from
halfbacks Jack McCrae and Gary Leach,
along with senior returnee Dick Boggio
of -B ogota, N.J.
Injuredl Colonels Return
The Colonels should find their forces
bolstered this week with the return of
tackle Jerry Loewen. Loewen has been
working out all week and has shown that
his leg injury is coming along better than
expected.
Also slated for actioill is
quarterback Bill Schutter, who has been
nursing an ankle injury for the past two
weeks.
PMC 21, Wilkes 6
PMC turned the only Wilkes misplays
into touchdowns as they countered after
a fumble and two intercepted passes to
come out on top of a grueling battle last
Saturday at Chester, Pa.
Wilkes put up a gallant fight against
-the Cadets as they came back from a
6-0 halftime defi cit to tie the score in
the third quarter. However, a bad center
on a Wilkes punt attempt put the Colonels in -the hole again as the kicker was
down ed in the end zone for a safety.
Behind 8-6 in the final frame, Wilkes
decided to go to the airways, only to have
a pafr of .passes pulled in by the Cadets.
Both interceptions led to PMC scores, as
the Cadets put the game out of reach and
went on to .g arner the victory, 21-6.
Sidelights of Saturday's Game:
Once again it was the running of fullback Marv Antinnes that led the Wilkes
offense.
Antinnes carried numerous
-tim es off tackle and up the middle to
emerge as the top groundgainer for the
Colonels with 40 yards in 12 tries. Antinnes also registered the only tally for
the home forces when he plunged over
a mass of bodies from the one-yard line.
The sprinting of freshman Tom Meyers
from the right halfback slot was also a
bright spot in the Wilkes attack Meyers,
in his first running play in college ball,
set up the Wilkes touchdown with a 9yard sweep around end to the one-yard
line.

Brunza's Bull-like Blocking Sparkles
Through Loss lo Penn Military College
"Jungle Jim" Earns Honors
For Steady, Solid Line-Play
by George Tensa
This week's Beacon award goes to
Colonel right guard Jim Brunza. His
performance against PMC was one of the
finest displayed by a Wilkes lineman in
many years.
Although he is not regarded as a spectacular-type player who makes the
team's winning score or bats down the
opponent's desperation pass, "Jungle
Jim" is the steady- -type player whom
you find in the pile ups and throwing that
key block to spring a fast back loose.
He is the calibre player who, without
gaining p er s o n a I recognition, earns
praise for the Colonel team.
Jim's athletic ability was definitely defined by a coach when he said "Jim is the
type ball player you can depend on t,o
play good, hard football that is a credit
to Wilkes." This was further emphasized
as the 5' 11", 195-lb. guard was named
co-captain of the Blue and Gold squad for
the season's opener against Lebanon Valley.
An aggressive warrior on the football
field, Jim is very friendly and pleasant
off the gridiron and can usually be found
wandering around the campus with his
"shadow," Rick Rees.
Jim .g raduated from Kingston High
School in 1955 before playing soldier boy
in Germany for Uncle Sam. He is now
a sophomore at Wilkes, majoring in
Secondary Education, and is also an active member of the Lettermen's Club.
Like most of the Colonel athletes, Jim
is an avid Huckleberry Hound fan and
never misses a Three Stooges comedy.
Jim is often called the Beatnik of the
ball team as he enjoys progressive jazz,
but would rather trade all the cartoons
and jaz,z for music by Johnny Mathis,
especially "Misty."

Seek Third Win
In Five Years
Over Tough Bisons
by Donald B. Hancock
After being defeated by Stevens T ech
on Wednesday, a high-spirited Wilkes
soccer team bounced back Saturday and
tied Wagner College by a score of one
to one.
It was a fast game, with a good deal
of action on both sides, Wagner breaking
the ice with a goal in the second period.
The Colonels' goal came in the third
frame when a drive from Joe Morgan
dented the net, aided somewhat by a deflection off the head of an obliging Wagner fullback.
The Wagner game showed that a great
deal of improvement had ,been made on
the Wilkes team in just a few days.
However, the Colonel hooters next come
to what may very well be termed the
game of the season; against one of the
strongest teams ·B ucknell University has
fielded in its soccer history.
Armed with ten returning lettermen,
the Thundering Herd this afternoon plays
host to the Wilkes soccer team at Lewisburg. Coach Henry J. Peters (Penn
State '39), has built up a powerful machine since going to Bucknell seven years
ago. Two of the team: Steve Flam haft,
center halfback; and Roger Mackey, fullback; both seniors, were named to the
second team All-Middle Atlantic Conference team last year. They have the fortunate ability of :b eing able to field a
fully experienced team without having to
add any freshmen or aspiring first-timeout upperclassmen.
This surplus of lettermen, most of
whom are seniors, has perhaps one rather
pleasant indication, at least as far as
next year's soccer team is concerned.
Because it is so top-heavy with seniors,
the Bucknell soccer team stands to be
hit just as hard if not harder by graduation than Wilkes was last year. This of
course is pure speculation, and only time
itself will provide an answer.
Aside from possessing two men who
were second team All-Middle Atlantic
Conference choices last year, they sport
a 2-1 victory .o ver Penn State, perenially
one of the finest teams in the east. This
pa1-ticular victory marks the first time
Bucknell has managed to defeat Penn
State in twenty-three contests, the best
they had previously done against the
Nittany Lions had been a 0-0 tie in 1943.
Last year the Wilkes hooters defeated
the Bisons in two overtime periods, two
to one. The total record against Bucknell over five seasons of play is two wins
and three ties. This afternoon the Ferrismen have a real fight on their hands
when they go against one of the toprated soccer teams in the country.

Coed Bowling League
Set for Reorganizing;
Meets at J.C.C. Sunday
Intramural co-ed bowling moves to the
Jewish Community Center lanes at 7:30
p.m. Sunday night. The new quarters
are available at the 7 :30 time for the
first week only. After that the league
will begin at 6 :00 p.m. every Sunday.
Another new feature will be the addition of a sixth team to the league. To
do this, it was necessary to rearrange
the five existent teams. Teams have
been drawn up with an attempt to balance averages as carefully as possible
to avoid any one team becoming too
powerful.
The directors of the league are drawing
up a season's schedule and will have it
published and ready for distribution at
the JCC lanes Sunday night. Also to be
distributed will be the new team rosters.
Every attempt will be made to keep
teams as nearly balanced as possible
while still honoring reasonable requests
by individual bowlers to be on the same
teams.
New Bowlers Sought
Attention of all bowlers is drawn to
the fact that this is a new start for the
league and new bowlers will be received
gladly. Any person interested in joining
the league is strongly urged to get in
while the reorgani.z ation is being accomplished this week.

in particular as they apply to the UN,
was held with spirited debate featured.
The debate ranged over a wide field of .
discussion, with notable interest in the
question of recognition of Red China.
Opinions both for and against admittance
of the Chinese Communists into the UN
were voiced and the club showed a decisive split in feeling.
The meetings are held at Barre Hall
Sundays at 2 :30 p.m. Future meetings
will try to bring some agreement between
the two groups within the organization
regarding the Chinese issue.
Further discussions about the group's
social calendar and group activi•t ies took
place, with emphasis on the club's annual
dance. A proposal was also considered
to hold a hayride later in the year.

chapter.

EDITORIALS
Welcome .Home
We are pleased to see all our old friends once more and
extend to all. alumni a hearty "welcome home." We hope that
the returnees enjoy their weekend.
Students have worked hard and long to do their part in
making this weekend a success; . It seems that everyone on
campus has had something to do with some part of the preparations. There are so many events, arranged by so many people
that it wquld be too great .a task to list them here.
Student Governnient, the classes, clubs, administration, faculty - all have played equal part in the beehive of activity
which has led to this day, the beginning of Homecoming 1959.
We on the Beacon staff have been besieged with space requests
throughout the past four weeks. We have done all in our power
.to honor these requests in order that all of the Homecoming
affairs receive ample coverage.. If, in some way, we have
· missed some coverage, blame it on the hectic times, not on intentional oversight.
Get Home Safely
. Perhaps we should inject here a sober thought. We enjoy
. having ·our friends back with us, but more important, we want
fo. see them again, year after year.
With the wid~ range of parties scheduled between now
and Sunday evening, it is a good guess that a certain percentage
of the high spirits will come from bottles. We neither condemn
nor condone, we merely state a fact of Homecoming life.
For those of the celebrants who find themselves subjected
to the rigors of too many liquid refreshments, may we sincerely
express the belief that gasoline and alcohol form a lethal combination? A casual examination of past years shows that there
have been no reported · cases of serious accidents involving
Wilkes people at Homecoming time.
.The record looks good. We hope everyone takes special
pains to keep it clean.
Hail to The Queen!
CLASS MEETINGS
SENIOR CLASS
by Steve Cooney
A variety of topics were discussed at this week's senior class
meeting held in Stark Hall.
Final plans were made for the
class sport dance to be held in the
gym ton ight. Jack Melton's orchestra will play, and cider and donuts will be served. The name of
the affair is "The After Glow"
keeping with the theme of the
Homecoming Weekend.
'!he senior class gift committee
was also formed, and Christine
Winslow was appointed chairman .
Volunteers were asked to join this
committee. The class gift committee will decide to what use the
class memorial tund will be put.
Each senior will have donated eight
dollars each by the end of this year,
and the money will be used to leave
a lasting memorial of the class at
the college.
Gordon Roberts, president of the
Student Government and member of
the senior class, spoke to the group
about the many fellowship opportunities being offered to seniors.
Any senior interested in finding
more information about these fe llowships should see Dean Cole or
iV1r. Chwalek.
Final report of the Homecoming
committee was given, and chairman Bob Beneski asked for volunt eers to help set up the class display. The next meeting of the
senior class will be on November
12, in Stark Hall.

Homecoming Weekend provides the opportunity to show some
school spirit. Decorations, dances, the bonfire, and t he football and
soccer games would be a failure without school spirit. The alumni show
enough interest in their school to return to it; students should show
their interest in the decorations, attendance at dances and the bonfire,
and support of the football and soccer teams.
SECRET KEPT
"Who is the Homecoming Queen?" could be heard all over campus
this past week. In previous years, the supposedly "well kept secret"
was known by 50 % of the student population before the official announc•e ment. This year it was different. No one, except the officials
concerned, had any knowledge of the winner. Even the names of the
nominees were not divulged. This is the way it should be. The excitement and surprise are well worth the waiting.
QUIET, FROSH!
The fr eshman class m eeting last Tuesday brought many critical
comments, both from freshmen and from Mr. Hoover, an advisor of
the class . The comments stemmed from the rowdy actions of several
fres hmen during the meeting. While campaign speeches were in progress, a group of freshmen was so noisy and disrespectful that their
own classmates could not be heard. Freshmen, you are no longer
children in high school; you are college students, and should act like
college stud ents.
CAN'T SPELL
A "flyer" distributed last Tuesday informed the student body of a
;,DINER-dance." Just out of curiosity, which DINER will it be held
at? Or how many "DINERS" wi ll be dancing?
CURTAINS FOR C'N'C?
Cue 'n' Curtain has made several requests to the administration
for new curtains .. . to no avail. The Cue 'n' Curtain has been promised
a new theater for S•e veral years, but it has never become a reality.
The curtains are almost a "must" this year. The stage curtains now
in use are so tattered that they are used as little as possible. New
curtains will cost about $700. The budget is cut as small as possible
with the hope of including the curtains; if the curtains ARE included,
the other items on the budget will suffer.

and two defeats.
In soccer, Wilkes has a record
of fiv e wins and no def eats against
Hofstra, winning the last time by
a score of fi ve to one.
In the commotion created by
Homecoming, many are inclined to
forget that the soccer team, too,
as well as the football team, has
a home game tomorrow. As far
as timing is concerned, it couldn't
have been arranged more conveniently; the soccer game against
Hofstra gets underway in Kirby
Park at 10:00 a.m. and is over at
about noon, leaving ample time to
take in the football game in the
afternoon.
The second and last game of the

Saturday.
One of the stalwarts of the Blue
and Gold line for the past four
seasons, Fred was at his best on
Saturday when he was the fifth
man in the Bears' backfield all

The outstanding play of the
game came early in the third quarter when Fred blocked a punt,
picked up the ball and raced 15
yards into the end zone for the
Colonels' second touchdown to put
Wilkes ahead at that time, 12-8.
It was the first score ever registered by the burly tackle in his

Cop Display Prizes
Chapman, Hollenback,
Bio Club Runnersup
by RalJ}h Price
The rains which prevailed all
through homecoming w e e k e n d
dampened everything but the spirit
of the students. They simply ignored the dampness and set up
some of the finest homecoming displays seen in quite a while.
The first prize for the best girls'
dormitory display went to Catlin
Hall. Their exhibit depicted a Lycoming Warrior being " emulsified"
by a huge drop of Lestoil. This
was topped by a sign upon which
was the slogan "Emulsify Lycoming."
Chapman Hall's display came in
second. This scene portrayed Lycoming's football players being
mowed down by a lawn mower
pushed by the Wilkes Colonel.
The first prize for the other displays wa s awarded to the Engineering Club. Their exhibit also received the awar d for the best overall display. This scene consisted
of four Indians revolving around
a campfire, a Colonel shooting the
Indian chief, and a painted backdrop depicting the Lycoming and
Wilkes campuses. The Lycoming
College buildings were represented
as being teepees.
The Biology Club and Hollenback Hall ran close seconds to t he
Engineering Club. The Biology
Club displayed a Colonel turning
an Indian over a fire on a revolving
spit.
Hollenba ck Hall's exhibit
was a large crepe paper train a ccompanied by the figure of a bowing Colonel.
Dick Salus
Guests attending this ceremony
will include Congressman Daniel J.
Flood, who was instrumental in secur ing the flag; George Russett,
President of the Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce; and
Hugh Carr, a national director of
the Jaycees. Wilkes will be represen ted by Dr. Eugen e S. Farley.
Dick Salus, president of the
Wilkes Jaycees, received congratulatory notes from prominent officials, extending best wishes to the
Wilkes Jaycee Chapter on its fifth
anni versary.
Among correspondence received were letters from
the White House, Vice-President
Richard Nixon, and Governor David
L. Lawren,ce.
One of the main reasons Wilkes
was chosen for this honor is the
fact that Wilkes College had the
first collegiate chapter of Jaycees
in the world. The Wilkes Chapter
was established by an a ct of the
Pennsylvania legislature in 1956.
Its members are juniors and seniors
who are interested in promoting
mutual understanding among its
members, the college, and the
people of Wyoming Valley.
The Jaycees have played an int egral role in the Parade of Progress, City Parking Project, the Or phans' Shol?ping :our, the _R etreat
State Hospital Gift Campaign, the
Jaycee State Convention, "Get Out
the Vote" Campaign, Junior Golf,
and the Youth Fitness Program.
The most recent project of the
Jaycees is t)-ie Fire Prevention Program for Wyo ming Valley. P lans
for the future include a pamphlet
designed to reduce n egative opinion
on the future of Wyoming Valley.
Drama Group DeIayed iI

El.ghteen Actors Needed
Cue 'n' Curtain planned to present a two-act play early in December. However, members of the
gro up and Alfred Groh, club advisor, are in a quandary because of
lack of student interest. Mr. Groh
exp r esses hope that such lack of
interest is due to insufficient advertising.
The play in question-and it definitely is, right now, in questionis "The Man Who Harried a Dumb
Wife" (The adjective refe r's to t h e
lady's inability to speak, not to her
stupid ity.) The play is a two-act
farce-comedy, set in the middle
ages; it will very likely be done in
costume. The cast requires eighteen
people, including eight men.
Mr. Groh points out that he is
not looking for people who are
trained or experienced in acting or
theater work. The purposes of the
college theater are educational, a nd
interested students will have the
opportunity to learn about theater
and to develop any latent talent
they may possess.
The play selected is one that
would not be done by a high school
group; Mr. Groh h opes that a lack
of mature interest in theater by
the students is not the problem.
Nor do the Cue 'n' Curtain officers plan to do any personal proselytizing. Any student interested
in trying out for a role should contact one of the officers of Cue 'n'
Curtain or Al Groh in his office
a.t Chase Theater.
Rehearsals, when the casting is
com pleted, w ill be planned according to the schedules of participating
students. There is no reascm why
a student cannot do all his curricular woi,k and take part in theater
work.
Ashley Hail Haunted!

Spooks, spiders and witches will

The Ashley men promise an eerie

Admission to the affair is free;

A full evening of entertain _nent

be dancing to the music of "Web

Games and contests will be held
to supplement the dance. A pieeating contest, bobbing for ap ples,

Parking Problems
Last Friday one of our enterprising young students had
trouble extricating his car from the Franklin-South Street parking
lot. Undaunted by propriety, he removed a car blocking his
passage and went on his merry way.
The only trouble with the maneuver was that he forgot to
replace the other car. Left it right on the sidewalk in fact.
Perhaps he drove off with a chuckle at his great practical joke,
but ii wasn't very funny to the owner of the car, who was working at th(!! time at Chase Hall.
When the unsuspecting owner reached the scene later in
the a fternoon, the City police had already been past. They
left their calling card, too. A pretty blue one. Worth $2.50,
but not to the car owner.
This is not the first time this has happened. Similar cases
have been reported, but not recently. Other times people have
moved cars out of their way from the lot to spaces either on
South or South Franklin Streets. Sometimes they parked them
legally, more often they merely left them wherever convenient.
The results have usually been the same . . . a parking ticket.
At the meters, however, a ticket only costs one dollar.
Needless to say, this practice does not reflect the habits of
all student drivers, nor does it indicate that the few who abuse
others' rights are of the caliber of people we think are attending
Wilkes.
However, if it becomes necessary to put rigid controls on
what has been generally a well-behaved co-operative activity,
so be it.
We're Proud
We've pulled a sneaky trick this week. Editorial comment
concerning sports belongs normally on the sports page, not the
editorial page, but we must make an exception in this week's
edition.
There may be some ethical violations involved, but we
have named as our "Athlete of the Week" none other than our
own Sports Editor, Ray Yanchus - above his strenuous objections.
It is unusual enough to find a man who acts both as the
quarterback of the football team and editor of his college paper
at the same time. It is more unusual to find a man displaying
outstanding talents in both fields. We have it here, however.
He has shown solid progress throughout the season on the
team, but his performance in the Homecoming game was bordering on sensational. Details of the show he put on are in the
page three story, we needn't go into them here.
It's a Boy!
The staff also wishes to extend congratulations to the family
of its adviser, Mr. Francis J. Salley. M r. Salley's wife gave birth
to a baby boy Sunday morning. The young fellow joins the
other two Salley children in their new home in Forty Fort.
And the Rains Came!
After a great amount of preparation for the various Homecoming activities, which depended on good weather, we had a
full weekend of rain, rain, and rain.
It was unfortunate, because the displays, the game, and
especially the half time ceremonies, which ~s the culmination. of
all the festivities, were almost completely rumed by the torrential
downpours.
The Homecoming game usually attracts the largest crowd
of the season, but on a dismal day such as last Saturday, one
w ould expect to find only the handful of regular "loyal" fans
a ttending. But this was not so. Nearly 1,000 turned out to see
the game, and not only that, most of them stayed at least until
the final minutes, many of them without benefit of raincoats, umbrellas, and other protective paraphernalia.
The half time ceremonies, the crowning of the queen, and
the special flash card section were all abandoned because of
the inclement weather, but the spirit of the players and the fans
was still there. This is especially noteworthy, since Wilkes is
often accused of lacking school spirit.

OPEN LETTER
Since Wi!Jkes College encompasses a much larger area with the
addition of Parrish Hall, much
more difficulty arises when one
must go from one end of the campus to the other, in a space of ten
minutes or less.
Steps should be t aken to allow
students to leave their respective
classes as soon as the bell rings.
Also, all the bells should ring at
one time and all the clocks be set
at one time.
At present, when one clock reads
10 :00 at Parrish, the gym clock is
either later or earlier. This situation holds true with all clocks. They
all seem to have their own time.
Since most of us are not track
stars, we cannot make our classes
on time.
Why can't warning
buzzers be installed that would all
ring at the same time?
Respectfully yours,
Ronald Diamondstein

Students parking at Parrish Hall should take notice of signs posted
prohibiting parking in either of the two driveways. Both entrances and
exit have been blocked simultaneously. In case of an emergency, this
practice would be disastrous. The sharp corner on the approach to the

Division of the MAC with 293 total
yardage.
Also prominent in the Susquehanna attac-k are quarterback Dick
Derrick, who ranks third in total

Lycoming 12, Wilkes 0
The Lycoming Warriors matched
the weather last Saturday as they
put the damper on the Colonel grid
team and on the sports finale of
the Homecoming activities, when
they defeated the home forces, 12-0,
in the rain and mud.
The Warriors tallied quickly for
one score on a first quarter fumble
to gather in the n ecessary points
for the victory.
The Colonel offense was mired in
the mud throughout the first h alf
and didn 't get slushing until the
end of the third quarter. From
that point on the Blue and Gold
pushed Lycoming all over the sea
of mud and were knocking on paydirt's door twice, only to have intercepted passes stop each threat.
Outstanding in the Wilkes off ense was end Frank Spudis, who
grabbed three passes for 50 yards
and quarterback Ray Yanchus, who
led all r unners with 87 yards and
passed for an additional 59 yards.
The Colonel line also played a fine
defensive game, stopping the Warriors numerou s times in scoring
territory.
the final score duplicating Wilkes'
tie with Wagner of two weeks previously. The Colonels again outplayed th eir opponents but the
failure to score and to win the
game represents the presence of
a difficulty which the Ferrismen
ha ve yet to overcome in order to
break into the win column of the
record book.

money for these scholarships comes
from the unused funds from last
year's student activities budget,
which totaled $655.
The persons selected were :
Allyn Jones, a senior who is majoring in Commerce and Finance.
Allyn is from LeRaysville, Pa., and
is active in school activities. He
is a member of the Inter-Dorm
Council and the Jaycees.
James Neddoff is a graduate of
Wilkes-Barre G.A.R. and resides in
this city. He is a Secondary Education math major and is a member
of the sophomore class.
Ronald Kryznewski is a resident
of Nanticoke. He is majoring in
Secondary Education and has the
additional honor of having been
ch o s en Editor-in-Chief of the
Manuscript Association.
Albert Kishel was graduated
from West Pittston High School.
He is majoring in Commerce and
Finance and has been elected president of the sophomore class.
Ideas for the Winter Carnival,
which is yet in the planning stage,
were also discussed. Enlarged facilities, program, and possible
change of location were the principle topics discussed. Mount Airy
and Pocono Manor were two of the
possible locations, but other possibilities will be considered.
Last year's bad weather resulted
in extremely crowded indoor facilities, since these were not intended
to accomodate the huge crowd of
people attending the Carnival.
Hence, the prime consideration in
selecting the site will be indoor
space. For people who prefer the
outdoors, a larger ice-skating area
and outdoor sports area will ali10
be provided.

Blood Donor Day
Friday the Thirteenth,
Big Turnout Sought
by Cynthia Hagley
Friday the thirteenth, a black
day for all superstitious people,
will not present a gloomy face on
campus this month. Instead it
will give Wilkes students the opportunity to give blood to the regional
Red Cross center.
The hours for donation will be
from 9:45 a.m. till 2:45 p.m. Since
the attendants give juice, a sandwich, and a cup of coffee to every
donor, it is suggested that the students visit the center before lunch.
This Blood Donor Day will be
the eighteenth since the campaign
began on campus. The greatest
turnout was in December of 1952
when 136 people were present.
Compare this to last May's turnout
of 31 students. In the past 17 collections Wilkes has given 1250
pints of blood. This averages up
to approximately 73½ pints per
Donor Day. The past two contributions have fallen far short of this
average.
Blood can be given by any student under 21 with their parents'
permission. Forms for this release
can be obtained at Mr. Reese's
office. Students over 21 have no
such forms to fill out and may drop
by at any time.

Wilkes put the damper on Susquehanna's Homecoming game as
old man weather put a damper on
the remainder of their Homecoming
festivities. The Colonels rose on
their toes and swung a mighty
sabre to unseat the Crusaders in
a 12-7 upset win.
Susquehanna had been riding the
crest of a spectacular season, averaging 40 points per game offensively while holding the opposition to
a total of 28, and had amassed a
record of 3 wins against 1 loss.
Wilkes showed the signs of a
truly tough competitor, though
they dropped behind early in the
contest, but came on strong late
in the game when tqe chips were
down.
The Crusaders jumped off to a
quick lead when they scored in the
fird period on a run by halfback
John Yanuklis around right end.
The extra point was made by center Tom Sa:ttuel to ma!ce it 7-0.
The Colonels battled the rest of
the first half as their offense sputtered along. Finally, with less than
a minute remaining in the second
stanza, Wilkes dro ve to the Susquehanna 18, but time ran out at
that point.
The Tide Turns
The Blue and Gold defense unit
really came alive in the third quarter as they pushed the Crusader
attack back into their own territory where they remained for the
rest of the contest.
An intercepted pass by halfback
Tom Krisulevicz turned into the
first Wilkes break of the game.
Two plays later end Ray Marchakaitus grabbed a short pass t hrown
by Bill Schutter and broke away
from a sure tackle going to · the
Crusader 6 yard line.
A _penalty moved the bail to the
3 and fullback Marv Antinnes
drove over for the score to make
it 7-6. A pass for the extra point
was knocked down in the end zone.
Wilkes came back again at the
start of the final period when Antinnes grabbed off a Crusader pass
and returned it to the Susquehanna
32. A series of ground plays, with
Antinnes and Krisulevicz doing
most of the heavy work, moved the
ball to the 2. Antinnes dove into
paydirt for what proved to be the
winning score. Both TD's cam e
within 5 minutes.
Defense Contains Foe
There was still 11 minutes remaining when Wilkes tallied their
second touchdown, but the defensive play of the Colonels made the
seconds tick off faster and faster
as the Susquehanna offens·e bogged
down deep in their own territory.
The Crusaders were unable to get
past their own 30 yard line in the
fourth quarter, and were held to
one first down during that time.
The Colonel secondary played
heads up ball throughout the second half as they stifled the Susquehanha passing attack with 4
timely interceptions, three of them
coming in the final frame.
The line play of the forward
wall was slightly above tremendous
all afternoon and the fast rushes
put on by the "up front guys" made

Blood Donor Day November 13
Blood Means Lite
If medical requirements for whole blood are to be
met during the coming year, one out of every 20 people
in the nation will be needed as a blood donor. The use
of blood and blood fractions in medical practice will continue to grow as new discoveries are made. Every healthy
man or woman can safely donate blood five times a year.
Giving blood is safe and easy. Receiving blood means
life to thousands each year. Make it a habit to donate
blood regularly - give the ill and injured an extra chance
for life.

where you can give blood,

Mr. Editor:
As members of most campus organizations are well aware, sizable
cuts had to be made in this year's
budget requests because the amount of requests greatly exceeded
the administration's grant.
After having attended the October 20th meeting, two questions
came to mind concerning Student
Government activities in this area.
The first question is: Does the Student Government have power to
appropriate funds specifically allocated to it for the purpose of maintaining student activities to a project that can hardly be conceived of
as an extra-curricular activity?
The second question: Is there a
reason why the balance of the 19581959 extra-curricular budget could
not have been added to this year's
grant, thus making available to
students through their activities
money taken from their tuition for
that purpose?
Let us consider the first question.
Does the Student Government have
power to change the purpose for
which funds were granted them?
According to the Wilkes College
Bulletin, included in the tuition fee
of $3•25 is a charge for maintaining
student activities. This is made
available to the Student Government through an annual grant.
According to the Constitution of
the Student Government, Article II,
Section 2, this body may draft a
budget of appropriations for recogni,zed activities. At the close of
last year, a balance of $655.88 remained in the Student Activities
Fund. Evidently this money did
not have to be returned to the general college fund, but remained in
the hands of the Student Government, for at the beginning of the
fall semester, this money was appropriated by the Student Government to form four scholarships.
While the motives of the Student
Government are not questioned,
the issue remains that money alloted for student activities from
student tuition was used for an
entirely different purpose.
Nowhere in the Student Government
Constitution is this au tho r it y
granted.
This brings us to the second
question : Why was not last year's
balance of $·655.88 added to this
year's grant to make all the money
allotted from student tuition, past
and present, available to students
for their extra-curricular activities
since the money is taken for that
purpose? The size of the ExtraCurricular Activities grant for
1939-6·0 is $13,600. The total request by organizations was $14,919.
Apparently cuts totaling $1319.35
had to be made - and they were.
Had, however, the $655.88 remaining from last year been used
for its proper purpose, the difference might have been cut by more
than one-half. This would not
mean that Wilkes extracurricular
activities are too big for the budget,
but that maximum use is being
made of available funds. This cannot be done if funds are allowed to
be diverted to worthy, but not appropriate channels.
Respectfully,
Roberta Feinstein
To the Students:
As Executive Secretary of the
Alumni Association, may I extend,
on behalf of the Alumni Association, a heartfelt thanks for a job
well done. In spite of the inclement weather, the spirit of Homecoming prevailed through both
alumni and student activities and
helped to make the week-end a
success.
The members of the Judging
Committee especially asked me to
commend you for your exceptionally fine displays. The committee
had a difficult time choosing the
winners ..
The attractiveness of your displays was borne out by the fact
that traffic practically was at a
standstill when I viewed the dis(continued on page 4)

GOOD TO THE LAST DROP
A coffee canteen for dormitory students will be established on an
experimental basis. Coffee will be available from 9 to 11 a.m. in dormitory side of cafeteria. There are only three rules that must be observed.
They are:
1. Students must remain on dormitory side when having coffee.
2. Students must remove dishes when they are finished.
3. Day students are not allowed this facility.
The purpose of this canteen is to provide coffee for dormitory students that miss breakfast. The student body must follow the above
mentioned rules, or the canteen will be stopped.
PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS
Have yo1:1 observed: Mr. Budd, proctor of Barre Hall, walking his
d?g on the Rive; -Common~ ... the maintenance men busy keeping the
sid~walks cl~an ·.... the mid-s~mester reports? ... Mr. Whitby putting
anti-freeze m his car? . . . Dick Salus' nickname, "The Lover?" . . .
and finally, the long, long walk from Parrish Hall to the gym?
We are ~appy to see that Joe Andrejko finally got a ROLO. Now
maybe he will stay off our TV screens.
SCHOOL SPIRIT LIVES ON
School spirit is not dead. It is very much alive in some students.
These students constitute the cheering section and other students who
travel to the a'."ay games. Approximately two-hundred fifty students
traveled to Selmsgrove, Pa., last Saturday. Wilkes was represented
at the P.M.C. game by about two hundred students.
In these students, school spirit is a living, growing thing. But a
small group cannot, and should not, represent the school spirt for this
college. If the rest of the student body would only have a fraction of
the spirit expressed by these f ew, we would not have need for a school
spirit committee.
A committee can not arouse spirit where there is none. This is not
to ~ay that there is no school spirit here ; rather, it is lying dormant.
Lets remove ourselves from this stagnant pool of "do-nothingness."
Moral Re-Armament Seen
By Student Columnists
by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts
THERE IS AN ANSWER
. This is the first in a series of articles designed to present the issue
facmg the world today. This column is dedicated to presenting not
who is right but what is right.
From a historical point of view many thousands of years ago there
was an Ice Age, then a Stone Age, and then 5000 B.C. the world enterec'
the Bronze Age and then ,t he Iron Age. Only 180 years ago mar
harnessed steam-power and ushered in the Industrial Age. And now
today, we are in the Ideological Age. You'll only understand what i~
going on in the world when you understand an ideology.
. An ideology i~ a faith which grips m en and nations. It gives a
philosophy, a passion, and a plan to change the world and it creates
the force of people ~o do it. There are two ideologies bidding for the
world today. One is Moral Re-Amament which believes that God's
mind should control the world through human nature that has been
changed; the other is communism which believes that man's mind
should control the world through human nature which has been exploited. One or the other must win.
Admiral William H. Standley, former Chief of Naval Operations
and United States Ambassador to Moscow, stated this point clearly
when he said, "the choice for America is Moral Re-Armament or
Communism." William Penn put the alternative of Moral Re-Armament or Communism explicitly when he said, "Men must choose to be
governed by God or they condemn themselves to be ruled by tyrants."
.
A closer l?ok at Communism will show that it is an ideology, an
idea that dommates the whole of a person, his motive, his thinking
his living, and he fights with a strategy to get everyone else to li v~
the same way. It cannot be met on the military or economic level alone
but only by a superior ideology.
Moral Re-Armament is that superior ideology with a superior
strategy because it meets the needs of the whole man and it is available for all men everywhere, non-communist and communist alike. It
is for more than an answer to Communism .
Radio Moscow violently assailed this idea when it said, "Moral
Re-Arament is a global ideology with bridge-heads in every nation
in its final phase of total expansion throughout the world. It has the
power to capture and change radical revolutionary minds. It is contaminating and upsetting the minds of the masses. It substitutes for
the inevitable class struggle the eternal struggle of good and evil."
To bring an answer to the world's problems there are absolute
standards one must apply in daily living. It is because we do not apply
absolute honesty, absolute purity, absolute unselfishness, and absolute
love in our daily lives that society is in danger of collapse. Why absolute? Because the world needs an authority to accept. A standard
must be absolute or it is not a standard and who would want a parachute that almost opens?
To find an answer for the world the best place to star t a chang e
is within yourself. Remember - when you point your finger at your
neighbor there are three more pointing back at you. The fact is that
human nature can be changed, that is the root of the answer. National
economy can be changed, that is the fruit of the answer. World
history can be changed, that is the destiny of our age.
Absolute honesty, honest apology, is the high road to lasting peace;
absoluate purity, a great cleansing force through nations ; absolute
unselfishness, there is enough in the world for everyone's need but not
enough for everyone's greed; absolute love, if everyone cared enough
and everyone shared enough, everyone would have enough.
(Editor's Note: As in all cases of student opinion columns, the
views expressed above are those of the individuals and not
necessarily of the 'Beacon.')

The Colonel symbolizes the effort put forth by Wilkes' athletic
teams. The Colonel costume will
be provided by the Committee. Applications should be<placed in the
School Spirit mailbox in the basement of Chase Hall as soon as
possible.
Jim Stephens, chairman of the

Shupert doesn't pretend to be a
member of the "beat generation,"
he can see that there is lot of good
fun to be had at this dance and he
wants to be in the picture.
Having recently shed his own
beard, he has a soft spot in his
heart for the lads who are raising
their beat beards for the contest
and wants to be around to see that
the best fuzz wins.
Moreover, he's heard the crazy
news that a couple of Wilkes profs
are going to spout off during interml·ss1·on, reading beatnik poetry
and singing folk-ballads in the Burl
Ives manner.
That's not all. Just about everyone going to the dance is eligible
to compete for a prize for the best
"beat" costume. Even the Blue
Notes, whose live music will provide the dancing before the intermission high-jinks, will save their
dirty T-shirts and berets to lend
the proper atmosphere.
Rumor has it that the profs entertaining immediately before the
contest judging include maybe even
a Ph.D. or two. You think you've
seen Friday night dances at
Wilkes? Man, this beatnik thing's
going to top them all.
Although the planners haven't
committed themselves yet, they
think that some of the proceedings
may get on Channel 22's news programming, too, if technical requirements are ironed out properly.
Of course, all this isn't news to
you night-owls who listen to Shupert's Alley. He's been talking it
up on the show. Well, like, listen.

United Fund Drive
Final Figures Revealed,
College Gives $4400
In a report released by Dr.
Charles Reif, director of th e Wilkes
United Fu nd Drive, it was disclosed th at contributions have exceeded th e proposed goal of $4000.
The combined contributions of the
students, faculty, and administration amount to $4428.20. By far
the greater portion of donations
came from the members of the administration and faculty.
This
group presented the Fund with
$3607.50.
The gifts from the student body
fell far short of the goal of $1500.
A total of $820. 70 was donated by
the students. This compares unavorably with the $892.78 given
by students last year.
The social sendoff of the drive
on campus, the Freshman United
Fund Dance, netted a profit of $152
which was turned over to the UF.
Only 54 per cent of the student
goal was reached.
The student body of King's College contributed 25 per cent more
to the United Fund Drive.
Supers11·11·on Is No Excuse

Today is the day people are prone to follow age-old superstitions. They avoid black cats, step cautiously around ladders,
handle mirrors with care, and leave their moonwatching to other
nights.
Time, however, has proved these superstitions to be unfounded and utterly ridiculous. Today people spill salt, drop

they know they will realize no harm from these ant1·quated v1·01ations.

into a dormitory for boarding students. There is also a strong possibility that Stark Hall will be expanded to cover the territory behind the Bennett building. This
expansion will allow increased facilities for the research laboratories.

This common superstition is that
giving blood hurts. Why is this
superstition harmful? Because it
not only keeps people capable of
giving blood from donating it, but
it also deprives someone who needs
the blood from having it. If superstitions were rated as to truthfulness this one would be put under
the heading Absurdity.

Take It Easy
The crisp Fall air bites at the nose and ear, topcoats and
gloves emerge from their mothballed havens, the countryside
dons its autumnal coat of multi-colored leaves. The scene is
delightful; every year people look forward to it and glory in the
beauties of the season.
But, the falling leaves foreshadow the coming of Winter.
A hint of snow and frigid, blustery weather is evident in the
brisk air of Autumn. Winter sports enthusiasts look forward to
the snow, but they join everyone in dreading snow's effect on
highway's.
Soon we are going to have a holiday; maybe there will be
some snow with it. The National Safety Council will take all
this into consideration and predict-with distressing accuracythe number of people who will die in traffic during that festive
period.
Premature with our warning? Perhaps we are, but Safety
has no time limits. We cannot sit by, idly nodding approval of
the experts' forecasts of highway slaughter. We must say something to add to the warnings of the experts, whose warnings
often go unheeded.
In the first eight months of 1959, 23,810 people died in traffic.
Over 800,000-nearly a million people! - have suffered disabling injuries in that period. Property was damaged to the
extent of $1.85 billion!
Mere figures, of course, do not tell the complete story. Appalling though the numbers may be, they cannot begin to tell
the story of broken hearts, broken homes, orphaned children
forced into lives of insecurity and despair. Only the actual
experience can really give us an idea of the frightiul waste
caused by traffic accidents. We don't think that having that
experience is a good way to appreciate the need for safe driving,
however.
This year we are joining the Advertising Council in its FallWinter Stop Accidents Campaign. The same people who give
us "Smokie" the Bear and other public service advertising have
provided the Beacon with the safety posters we will display
from time to time.
We hope our readers know enough about the dangers of
careless driving to make the publication of such material superfluous. We know better, however. Even the most careful driver
has lost his temper from time to time, or has been bothered by a
problem at the office, or has been fed up with _his mother-in-law
or a million and one other distracting mental problems.
These are the careful, sober, upright citizens who find themselves suddenly, viciously, agonizingly thrown into ·,he horrors
of highway accidents. They are sensible people, but Death isn't
particular. He awaits the first mistake. When Te~per takes
the wheel, safety slips away. Stay sane, stay ahve. Make
every day safety day.
Let Us Know
Next week will be the last issue of the Beacon until December 4. We make this clear now to avoid misunderstandings
later. Every reasonable effort is made to cooperate with the
publicity needs of campus affairs; nothing is refuse~ when the
requests meet with our requirements of space and time. .
To continue with this cooperation, we make the remmder
of the week's gap in publishing on account of Thanksgiving
holiday. Anyone who has any event scheduled between the
dates November 14 and December 3 should make every effort
to see . that the Beacon is notified in order to insure adequate
coverage. We try to get all the news, and we get all that people
tell us about, but we're not .clairvoyant. People who keep
details of their activities a secret run the risk of having nobody
there when the event takes place. Help us to help you.
"I was fighting mad . . •"
Too often the innocent suffer
when tem1,er's at the 'W'heel! When
another driver burns you up-cool off! Losing your head can
cost you control of your car, make an innocent party a
victim of your spite. Last year traffic accidents brought
death to 37,000 people, p ainful injuries to hundreds of
thousands more. Too many were innocent victims of good
drivers who momentarily let emotion blindfold judgment.
When all your mind's on driving, you'll be a safer driver.

Dear Mr. Editor:
In reply to a letter of Miss Feinstein which appeared in last week's
Beacon, I would like to state that
Miss F einstein did not present a
factual view of the issues raised,
simply because she did not have
th e fa ct s. Her first question was :
"Does the Student Go vernment
have power to appropriate funds
specifically allocated to it for the
purpose of maintaining student activities to a project that can hardly
be conceived of as an extracurricular activity ?"
Her second question was: "Is
there a reason why the balance of
the 1958 - 1959 extra-curricular
budget could not have been added
to this year's grant, thus making
a vailable to students, through their
activities, money taken from their
tuition for that purpose?" ·
At this point Miss Feinstein
states, "Let us consider the first
question. Does the Student Government have power to change the
purpose for which funds were
granted them ? " If one looks closely at Miss Feinstein's first stated
question and then at the one she
wants to consider as the first question it becomes obvious that they
are not identical; therefore, the
answers to them will obviously not
be the same. We, therefore, now
have three questions:
Question 1: The answer to this
question is that the Student Government did not appropriate the
balance of $655.88 to an extracurricular activity, that is, the
scholarship fund.
The Student
Government was advised by the
Administration of Wilkes College
to use this figure for scholarships.
It should ·be pointed out that at all
times the Student Government is
handling funds appropriated to it
by Wilkes College.
Therefore, when there is a balance at the end of a fiscal year this
balance is automatically absorbed
by the college general fund. That
is what happened this past year;
howe ver, because the Student Government did have a balance of
$655.88, we were advised by Dr.
Farley to use this amount for
scholarships. This is to say that
the Student Government actually
had a credit of $655.88 with the
Administration, and that the administration, through Dr. Farley,
advised using this credit for
scholarships.
The answer to question 2 is yes.
The reason is that such a balance
never existed but was automatically absorbed bv the college general
fund. The Student Government
simply had a credit of $665.88 and
was advised to direct this credit
for scholarships.
The answer to Miss Feinstein's
third question is that the Student
Government never did nor never
assumed to have the power to
change the purpose for which funds
were granted to it. The funds
granted to the Student Government
were used at all times, for the specific purpose of maintaining student activities.
I would like to point out that
Student Leaders Conferences, and
Student Government meetings are
open to all students who have questions and who would like to have
them factually answered.
The
n ext meeting of the Student Government is No vember 17th at 6:00
p.m. on the second floor of the
Bookstore. It is my hope, also,
that these issues may be discussed
before the entire student body on
December 1st, at the Roving Mike
Assembly Program.
Student Government President
Respectfully,
Gorden E. Rob erts

HONESTY -
THE BEST POLICY
Miss Dworsiki, French instructor, used the Honor System to give
tests to French 101 classes. With the students' cooperation, Miss Dworski gave the same tests to both sections. Students in both sections
promised not to reveal anything about the exams. Miss Dworski soon
learned that certain unscrupulous persons did give information to the
other classes. Because of this, she can no longer place trust in these
classes. If she has enough faith in the students to trust them, you, as
students, should not misuse this trust. You are the only ones who can
redeem yourselves. Remember, "Honesty is the best policy."
The above is only one example why Wilkes does not have an honor
system. You can't ha ve an honor system without honor. It is only
the minority that prohibits the establishment of an honor system.
QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY
Why don't the various clubs and organizations on campus band
together and hold one big, well-planned dance? If all the clubs would
join together, they could finance a big name band. This would give
more quality and less quantity to the social activities. Quality is the
desired factor which has been absent from many of the activities.
PARKERS BEW AREi
Student parking has always been a problem. This problem has
turned into n predicament, growing worse every day. When students
move cars to provide an exit for theii- own car, they are expected to
return the other cars to the parking lot. This is not being done. Cars
are being left on the sidewalk, on the street, and in 'no parking' zones.
There is enough trouble about parking fa cilities already, without parking tickets and summonses being issued by the police department. If
the parking problems continue, the administration may further limit
the students allowed to park on campus.
Dick Myers, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, has found his own solution to the parking problem; he still has not purchased a car. This is not
r ecomm ended as the answer to the problem, but it may come to this
unless the situation vastly improves.
Yours truly,
The Observer

The King's College Play ers will
present Georg e Bernard Shaw's
"1\1:ajor Barbara" n ext Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday in the King's
College Science Building as their
first offer ing of the fall semester.
The Shaw play will be presented
"in the round," as are all of the
King's productions. In the Theatre
in the Round method, the audience
is seated on all four sides of the
playing area and through intimate
contact with the actors almost feel
that they are a part of the production.
Tickets for this season's opener
are $1.00 and can be purchased at
the door or r eserved in advance by
callin~ King 's College (VA 4-5731).
Curtam for all three evenings will
be at 8:30.
Coincidence Occurred
One of the most unusual circumstances involving this production is the fact that our own Cue
'n' Curtain had made plans to do
this same play next semester. Play
books had been ordered and the
technical crew had alre~dy begun
to draw up temporary staging and
costume plans.
While all these arrangements
were being made at both King's
and Wilkes, neither college knew
that the other was planning to produce the same play. This is the
first time in the history of the two
colleges that such a coinciden ce has
occurred.
When Mr. Alfred Groh C 'n' C
advisor, was contacted' by the
Beacon he said that he had not yet
decided whether or not to continue
with plans to do the play. Mr.
Groh pointed out that it has never
been the intention of either drama
tic group to compete in any way
and .by doing the same play in th~
same year, audiences seeing both
might compare one production with
the other, defeating the purposes
of the two dramatic groups.
Mr. Groh also pointed out that
the fact that the Cue 'n' Curtain
production of "Major Barbara" had
been scheduled for May six
months from now - which might
allow the Wilkes theatre group to
continue with their plans and thereby not lose any of the money already invested in the production.

Student Government
Airs Carnival Plans
Okays Patron Projects
by Cynthia Hagley
Frank Edwards, editor of the
Amnicola, attended the regular
meeting of the Student Government last Tuesday night. He stated
that the suggestion had been made
for selling individual student
patron tickets at $1.00 per person.
This subject was taken up by Jim
Stephens, chairman of the School
Spirit Committee, who said that
the committee had a wide representation from the clubs and
classes; therefore, it would be willing to undertake the patron ticket
project.
Because of the abundance of last
year's Amnicola still remaining in
the bookstore, it was suggested
that all students be reminded that
they are entitled to a yearbook free
of charge. It is part of their tuition paid for each semester.
Winter Carnival
Discussion of the Winter Carnival presented at the meeting included sites for the affair. Pocono
Mountain Inn and Onawa Lodge
are the only two places out of nine
approached that can handle the
Carnival on the date planned. The
choosing of the site has been tabled
until the special meeting of the
Student Government next Tuesday
night.
Chairmen of the various committees have been chosen by the cochairmen of the Winter Carnival,
Mike Armstrong and Dick Barnes.
They are as follows: program,
George Reynolds; publicity, Judy
Butchko· chaperons, Cynthia Dysleski; a;d music Rh ea Politis.
Report on the car caravan
showed that 30 cars participated
with over 100 students going along
for the ride. The comments were
many and favorable on both the
decorated cars and the spirit of the
students.
The Policies Committee of the
Student Government has set up
their proposals on school calendar
and events along with other programs and will mimeograph these
for next Tuesday's special meeting.
At that time they will be voted on
by Student Government members.
The minutes of each Student
Government meeting are also mimeographed. One copy is posted
on the bulletin board and others are
placed in the mail boxes of all
campus organizations.
Dick Salus suggested that there
be a Student Leaders' Conference
some time in January before the
committee of evaluation visits the
college in February of next year.
This proposed meeting will be held
some time in January of next year.
Because of a conflict in schedule,

Harry Trebilcox, a native of
Trucksville, Pa., form erly a student
of Wilkes College, is a graduate of
the Eastman School of Music,
Rochester, N.Y. While at the Eastman School, he contracted paralytic polio with the tragic result that
it left his right arm paralyzed. He
did not turn away from his major
interest, the study of the piano, but
continued to develop his left hand.
The repertoire of works for the
left hand alone is extremely
limited, and it was for this reason
that Mr. Trebilcox began making
transcriptions of works for the left
hand.
His program will consist of his
transcription of "The Pictures At
An Exhibition" by Modeste Moussorgsky. Moussorgsky, one of the
famous Russian "Five", was inspired to write this suite after
viewing a set of paintings by the
artist Alexandre Hartmann. The
original paintings have long since
disappeared, but Moussorgsky's
suite lives as one of the most popular of music in the piano literature.

EDITORIALS
Good Planning, Good Show
We don't ordinarily care to go overboard on either publicity
or commentary on Friday night dance affairs, but this week we
think the Psychology-Sociology Club deserves a tip of the editorial hat.
The discerning reader of the 1959-60 Beacon will note that
the Page One headline stories have not been about the weekly
dances until this week. The reason for that is simple. We
prefer to have greater space given to stories concerning the role
of the College in the Community, the activities of organizations
which best publicize the College's attempts to take an active
role as a source of cultural development, and put feature storiesconcerning regular dances-in the feature section, Page Four of
a four-page edition.
The exception this week is that the personalities involved in
tonight's dance are NEWS. While we don't intend to suggest
that the Beacon staff advocates "Beatnik" tendencies, we do see
this night's activities as a possible source of real amusement and
entertainment enhanced by the appearance of a prominent jurist
and a popular radio personality. In addition, some faculty members are also going along with the fun and will take active part
in the intermission program.
We don't imply that we will automatically reject a dance
story as Page One material but if such affairs are given advance
publicity consisting only of the names of committees, the name
of the band and a brief description of the decorations, its news
value is limited and it will receive feature treatment. When a
great deal of planning, originality and unique "gimmicks" are
part of the advance news, we will go out of our way to see that
ambition to present a different program is amply rewarded by
all the space we can afford it.
Friday night dances are a wonderful thing for the College,
giving all people from a variety of interests a chance to gather
at the same time on common ground. Those sponsoring these
social calendar dates have an obliga'lion as well as a chance
to make a little money for their organizations. The responsibility
is simply to provide an interesting night for the people who make
the treasury-fattening activities a success or a failure. Give the
entertainment-seekers something to interest and entertain them
and he affair can hardly help being a financial as well as social
success. We think tonight's program may well fall into that
category. We can only hope that every Friday night dance will
offer as much.

Dear Mr. Editor :
Mr. Roberts' recent letter gives
much additional information about
the procedure involved in initiating
the scholarship fund, but it does
not answer the basic issue: tuition
money is being used for a different
purpose from that stated in the
college catalogue.
The Student Government's role
may have been no more than to
carry out the suggestion of the
administration, but this is of little
consequence. What is important
that funds that might have been
and ought to have been used to
enrich the program of the entire
student body have been diverted to
a program that benefits only a very
few individuals, worthy as that
program might be. This matter
assumes its importance when we
consider the source of the money.
Respectfully,
Roberta Feinstein

Congratulations to Mr. Arthur Hoover, who on Friday November
13, gave his 13th pint of blood. It is apparent that Mr. Hoover does
not believe in superstition; it is also just as apparent that he does believe in the good work done by the Red Cross in their Blood Donor Day
campaigns.

Have you observed several students, all male, walking around

are, of course, preparing for the Beatnik Bop which will take place
tonight at the gym. Bill Shupert of " Shupert 's Alley" fame will judge
the beards and pick a winner. It's only a rumor, but Mr. Arthur Hoover
will supposedly read some beatnik poetry. Another unidentified professor will also recite some poetry, definitely not square.

This week's recipient of the
Beacon's "Athlete of the Week"
award is Joe Morgan. His aggressive play brought a frustrated
Wilkes soccer squad from defeat
to a tie with a highly-charged Lycoming squad.
"Tiger," as he is known by his
aggressive play, carried the soccer
team through an "off" season and
his general attitude of sports on
and off the field is tops. A gentleman and true sportsman have made
Joe one of Wilkes' top athletes and
a rr:an we all can be proud of.
Although the soccer team enjoyed little success this season,
Joe's play salvaged a few strands
of victory. His "never-give-up"
attitude led the young soccer squad
to many close contests and his
example has earned much praise
for himself and Wilkes.
Joe earned All-Conference honors
for the past three seasons at halfback and should be a top contender
for the position again.
Soccer isn't Joe's only athletic
endeavor as he is one of Coach
Reese's top grapplers and will
serve as captain of this year's

unable to get an extra point. Score
at the end of the third period was

With three minutes left in the

For the past three weeks coaches Eddies Davis and Al Goldberg have been putting their '59-'60 edition of the Wilkes basketball team through their drills for the season's opener against a
strong Susquehanna squad on the latter's court. This year's
Colonel squad should improve last year's 9-11 record and will be
a strong contender for the MAC crown.
Some of this year's Davismen
who will see plenty of action are:
co-captains George Gacha and
Bernie Radecki. Gacha, although
deadly with his jump shot, will
again be called upon to be the playma,ker while Radecki should again
be one of the scoring leaders.
The two tallest men on the squad
are veterans Ron Roski and Bernie
Kosch. Roski, who stands 6' 4",
will again be counted on to control
the backboards but will receive
much help this year from 6' 6"
"Moose" Kosch.
Two returning juniors from last
year's team are Clem Gavenas and
Barry Yokum. Both of these "outof-towners" are probable starters
with Gavenas having the inside
track because of his scoring ability.
Among the returning veterans
seeking a starting forward berth
are John Salsburg and Don Mattey. Salsburg, a junior from Harter, is a topnotch rebounder while
"Walrus" Mattey from Hanover
combines his soft-touch shots with
aggressive rebounding in his bid
for a starting berth.
Eddie Kemps is one of Coach
Davis' better ball handlers and will
see lots of action along with Tom
Pugh and George Tensa, both fro!ll
Plymouth.
The top losses to the squad are
Fran Mikolanis, who last year
earned three berths on the AllEast team for his scoring ability,
and Ray Y anchus, one of the
squad's best cornermen, who was
injured playing football, and may
miss part of the season.
Among the top freshmen are Phil
Russo from Exeter, Garry Vanderberg from Plains, Lee W ashuleski
from Dupont, and Harvey Rosen
fr om Brooklyn.

Smashers, 3-1. The Gutterdusters
slipped into fourth place after
suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands
of the Blitzkriegs. The victory put
the Blitzkriegs into third place,
only two games out of first. The
race is a tight one and first place
can still be an ybody's prize. As
the season progresses, the bowlers
can look forward to many an exciting match.
Emil Petrasek, one part of the
1-2 punch for the Pinbusters, again
proved to be the big gun of his
team as he roll ed a 181-495. Staying close behind was the other half
of the punch, Dave Sokira, with a
177-460. However, the effects of
this blow were not seen Sunday as
the Finbusters went down in defeat.
Jerry Chisarick proved to be a
powerful factor in his Flatballs'
victory with a 192-503. Dick Barber pitched in with a 199-501.
The Kingpins took 3 points from
the Smashers winning the total
pinfall by a mere three pins. Adam
Gajewski starred for his Kingpins
toppling a 199-579. Jules Heller
rolled a 191-521 for the victors.
John Sapiego, 194-525 and Mark
Adelson, 197-512 were high men
for the losers.
Bills 'Ylatkins and Bob Hewitt
led the victory drive for their Blitzkriegs with a 190-547 and 242-533 ,
respectively. Dan Lewis and Dick
Myers, combining their totals,
scored almost half of the total pinfall registered by the Gutterdusters. Lewis had a 204-542 and

Joan Leggetts Named
As PSEA Candidate
by Steve Cooney
The Northeastern District of the
Student Pennsylvania State Education Association will hold an important election meeting tomorrow
morning at ten-thirty in the Wilkes
Dining Commons.
At the last meeting of the organization officers for the 1960
school year were nominated and at
tomorrow's meeting the election
will take place. Joan Leggetts, a
junior secondary education major
at Wilkes, has been nominated to
the vice-presidency of the regional
SPSEA organization. Each college chapter is allowed five votes
in the election, and representatives
from all liberal arts and state
teachers colleges in the northeastern area will take part in the
election.
Retiring officers for the year are:
Bob Kearns, Scranton University,
president; Kathleen Purcell, Marywood, vice-president; Pat Fushek,
Wilkes, secretary-treasurer.
Name Has Been Changed
In case the name of the organization or the symbols - SPSEA do not seem familiar, it was formerly known as the Student Education Association of P ennsylvania, or the SEAP, but at a recent
meeting the name was changed by
a unanimous vote of the members.
The group felt that since it is the
student chapter of the PSEA, it
should adopt the name of the
parent organization.

Letters To The Editor:
New Registration Policy
Upperclassmen will be favored in a new "seniority" scheme
to speed up the twice-a-year headache of registration, according
to news released by the College Registrar, John Whitby.
The new plan calls for the early registration of seniors first,
then registration by classes downward to the freshmen. This
was explained as an attempt to see that each student gets at
least one chance during his four years to be registered with a
first choice in the making of his schedule.
In the past, seniors often have been denied the chance to
take electives because sections are quickly filled by underclassmen who must take the same courses as requirements.
Also, the new idea for spacing out the registration crowd will
facilita te each student's chance to realize a tailor-made program,
if each student adheres to his pre-registration schedule.
Seniors will be the first to register from 9 until 10 o'clock
on the morning of January 29. Class determination will be by
the Student Roster. Students entering 7th or 8th semesters will
b e considered seniors.
From 10 until 11, those entering their 5th and 6th semestersjuniors-will register, and sophomores-those entering 3rd or
4th H mesters-will register until Noon. All others will have
from 1:00 until 2:30 p.m. to complete registration.
All students are advised to see that their financial affairs
are in order before attempting to register.
Long Over-due
Reform along the;;;e lines has been needed for a long time,
b ut we must inject here the observation that, despite apparent
hap::1a zard tactics in the past, there has been a steady speedingup p rocess taking place. Each semester found things progressing
a bit mere smoo'hly in spite of constantly increasing enrollment.
Students will probably hail the latest development as one of
the final stages of a saner registration program, although we

Editor, Beacon Staff
Wilkes College
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Mr. Editor:
I would like to thank all persons
who joined the caravan to Scranton University and helped to make
it a huge success. There were
thirty cars in the caravan, and of
these, ten entered the competition
for best decorated car. I feel that
I am correct in stating that a good
time was had by all.
Special thanks to Steve Robertson, my assistant in the venture.
Dr. Farley also receives thanks for
a cting as judge for the decorating
competition.
In addition to expressing gratitude for cooperation, I would like
to comment on the article in last
week's Beacon which covered the
caravan. The first comment I have
to make is that the caravan was
ten minutes late in leaving, rather
than 30 minutes as stated by your
n).Jorter. This delay was caused
by the large turnout which had not
been anticipated.
The second comment I have to
make is that the article more aptly
describes a drag race with cars
"zooming around corners." S~ch

concerned with getting us out of
their hair as is implied in the article. The Wilkes-Barre escort led
us over a route which enabled many
-p eople to see the caravan. In doing
this, he encountered more traffic
signals, etc., than he had to.
The Penna. State Police served
as an escort for the primary purpose of safety, for their presence
acted as a deterrent to speeding,
passing, etc. At the Scranton city
line we were met by a police
cruiser driven by a traffic control
sergeant. He led us through lights,
in and out of traffic, and got us to
the stadium in record time.
Though the route covered was
short, I would like to add that Chief
Ruddy had proposed a route
through the shopping district. I felt
that this would involve too many
problems for him and chose the
shorter route. At that time he also
stated that he would be willing to
cooperate every two years as long
as Wilkes plays at Scranton.
I feel that the behavior of the
drivers reflects their intelligence as
college students. Though a few
gave in to the horn-blowing urge,
most observed the city ordinances
of .Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
which forbid horn-blowing. The
sergeant who escorted us to the
stadium remavked that he was glad
that there weren't too many violations of this ordinance.
As for the statem~nt that the
caravan should do thmgs for the

Open Letter
To: Dr. Chas. B. Reif
Dear Mr. Reif:
This letter is being written almost immediately after the incident
which occurred in your 8 o'clock
Biological Science class on Tuesday
morning.

Campus Observer I
Friday, December 4, 1959
ARTILLERY PARK
The administration has been attempting to lease Artillery Park in
Kingston for use as a Wilkes athletic field. The lease must be granted
by the State, and as yet, several politicians in Harrisburg have neglected
to sign the necessary papers. The lease, once granted, is to be of long
duration. For this reason, the administration has made certain plans
to renovate the entire grounds of Artillery Park.
First, the grandstand will be torn down completely, with the possibility of using certain sections for bleachers. The main part of the park
will become a football stadium, with other sections devoted to tennis
courts and other athletic facilities. The grounds are in dire need of
care, but once they are landscaped, they should remain in good condition.
The bleachers on the grounds at present in center field may or may not
be used, depending on their condition.
The approval of the politicos in Harrisburg is expected at any time.
As soon as these signatures are received, work will begin at the park.
To the Observer's knowledge, no name has yet been selected for
our new athletic field. The Observer suggests that students submit
their ideas on names for the field to this column. These entries will be
published in this column, at which time the student body will be asked
to make a selection. The entry chosen by the student body will then
be submitted to the administration for approval.
POLICIES QUESTIONED
Did you observe the assembly program this past Tuesday? Several
prominent and pertinent questions were asked, but were not really
answered as much as they were explained. Dean Ralston's statement
that athletic scholarships are not given because of "policy" does not
answer the question. WHY is "policy" against athletic scholarships?
Dean Cole also excused herself very nicely when asked about the 9
o'clock curfew for freshman females. Dean Cole stated that it was
"policy" here when she arrived, and she merely continued it. WHY
is it "policy"? What is the reasoning behind these policies?
Mr. Robert Morris was asked a question concerning the shortage
of space. He answered that plans have been formulated to remedy the
situation next semester, but that doesn't help the students now. These
plans should have been made previous to the start of this semester last
Semester.
The assembly session was far too short to answer all the ·questions.
This column will attempt to answer these questions in the near future.
STUDENT MAIL ROOM
The student mail room is located in the basement of Chase Hall.
An occasional visit to this room by students, both day and dorm students, would clear out a backlog of mail that has accumulated since the
beginning of the semester.
DOCTOR?
An item of humorous interest appeared in the local papers recently:
"DOCTOR George Ralston gave a short after-dinner speech.

Russian Students Visit Temple U.;
Discuss Soviet Education System

....
by Steve Cooney
Twelve Russian college students visiting various colleges
in the United States were dinner guests recently of the Temple
University's Student Council. At the dinner meeting they revealed many interesting facets of Russian education.
As you fully reali.ze, you read a
letter pertaining to you and your
methods, whih was written in extremely bad taste. It was amazing, that a college senior had the
gall to write such a childish letter.
To us, Dr. Reif, a gross injustice
has been done to you. We know
that the "poison pen" child who
claims to be a mature individual
represents not even one per cent
of your students.
As far as his proposed duel with
you is concerned, it is evident that
the individual is a frustrated hero
who has been watching too many
adult westerns.
•Only a neurotic individual would
have had the gumption to write a
letter of that type. Dr. Reif, we're
with you.

"We have no colleges of business,
arts or sciences," one of them said.
"In Russia, the university is divided into faculties, and the course
of study is given completely by professors who are academic experts
in one area."
Upon graduation from high
school the Russian students are
given tests to determine what field
of interest they should enter. Once
a Soviet student begins university
study, he is completely subsidiz ed
by the state. The most gifted students receive extra benefits and are
given preference in many ways.
No Russian student asked any

Girls Get a Kick
Out of Practice
by Sandy Biber
"One, two, three, tap, kick, knee
kick, all together now, group."
If you happen to pass by the
Commons some evening you'll probably see a group of bermuda-clad
coeds energetically kicking their
heels in a sort of unison to the above directions.
This group will perform its
routines at athletic events, the
Winter Carnival and any other
function at which it is asked to
perform.
These girls have organized themselves into a "kick-line" under the
leadership of Jan Bronson, junior
in education from Sweet Valley.
Miss Bronson, who is a transfer
student from West Chester State
Teachers College, was in a "kickline" there and decided to introduce the idea to Wilkes.
This group, which consists of
about 20 coeds practice every Monday and Wednesday from 7-8 p.m.
on the second floor of the Commons.
Most of the practice is concerned
with coordination and precision.
As any man probably knows it is
pretty difficult to get 20 women to
do the same thing at the same time
and on time.
Miss Patricia Lutz, sophomore in
music education from Hazleton, is
the a ccompanist for the kick-line.

HE WHO LAUGHS LAST . . .
The following appeared in the sports section of the Maryland
"Diamondback" after the Wilkes upset victory over Susquehanna last
month.
"SENTIMENTAL FA VO RITE: Last Thursday the DBK predicted
the outcome of 31 college gridiron clashes. Included was one small college game billed as a "sentimental favorite." In this one, favored Susquehanna played underdog Wilkes. The contest was printed strictly as
a laugh.
"The DBK sports staff picked Wilkes on the basis of a comparative
score. The only common opponent for the two was Ursinus. Susquehanna had slaughtered Ursinus 63 to O while Wilkes had its hands full
but finally won, 25-15. On this common ground it figured that Wilkes
would be ground to ashes at the hands of Susquehanna.
"Thus Wilkes illogically received the nod as the tearful choice. The
result? You guessed it. Wilkes 12, Susquehanna 7. Amen brother,
Amen."

Shawneeites Defeat
Honeymooners, 26-6;
Take Touch Grid Title
by George Tensa
The Shawneeites caJptured their
s e c o n d consecutive Intramural
touch football championship by
downing a game Honeymooner
squad, 26-6. This contest was a
·'do or die" bid by both teams for
league laurels as they ended the
season with identical records of ti
wins and 1 loss.
John 1v1attey started the scoring
when he pulled in a Clem Gavenas
pass and scampered 45 yards !or
the Honeymooner score. This run
was one of the most exciting gallops of the season as "Crazy Legs' "
broken field runnmg coruused the
entire Shawneeite secondary. This
was the lone score of the tirst quarter as the Shawneeite defense held
and Ralph "the Toe" Hendershot's
punting for the Honeymooners kept
the Shawnee1tes deep in their own
territory.
Early in the second stanza Tom
Pugh hit Don lVJ.attey with a 36yard pass and then arched a TD
pass to "Tosh" Karmilowicz. The
try for the extra point was unsuccessful and the score remained
knotted, 6-6, at halftime, although
the Honeymooners did muster another threat. This threat was
thwarted .by George Tensa as he
intercepted a pass in the end zone.
Tensa struck again in the third
quarter when he intercepted his
third pass of the game and legged
it into touchdown land. The play
was set up by the hard charging
Shawneeite line of Ronnie Roski,
Yorath Evans, and 'Mountain Man'
Salsburg. A pass for the extra
point was successful when Tom
Evans made a beautiful catch of a
Walt Ciolek pass. The Shawneeites
scored again in the third quarter
after Clancy Dennis deflected a
Honeymooner pass into the hands
of Ken Thomas who returned the
interception to the 20 yard line.
Again the Pugh to Karmilowicz
combo clicked and the Shawneeites
enjoyed a 19-6 lead at the end of
the third quarter.
A "sleeper pass' from Walt Ciolek to Tom Pugh accounted for the
fourth Plymouth score and Jim
Stevens' pass to "Rabbit" Polanowski accounted for the extra point.
The ,Shawneeites captured the

by George Tensa
Snow flurries set the stage for
the Kernel Bowl game at Kirby
Park. A "hefty" Colonel varsity
football squad was a thirteen point
favorite over a gallant Shawneeite
team in the first bowl classic.
The first quarter went scoreless
with a strong Colonel line, boasting
"Jungle Jim" Brunza and Freddy
Williams, keeping the Shawneeites
off balance and a Shawnee secondary knocking down Schutter's
passes.
Tom Krisulevicz scored for the
Colonels early in the second quarter
as he followed the "flying wedge"
into the end zone. Rich Rees pulled
extra point. Late in the same stanin a Marv Antinnes aerial for the
za Bill Schutter hit Al Dobrowalski
with a pass and behind some nice
blocking by Ray Marchakaitus and
"Mustang" Marv, Al scored the
second TD. Score at halftime was
14-0 in favor of the Colonels.
In the middle of the third quarter
George Tensa intercepted a Colonel
pass and this set up the Shawneeites' initial score. Tom Pugh hit
Kenny Thomas and the lanky end
outdistanced the Colonel defenders
in a 65 yard pass play. The attempt for the extra point was
blocked by Brunza.
Late in the final stanza the Shawneeites scored again after Tom
Pugh recovered a fumble on the
six inch line. A pass from Ciolek
to Karmilowicz accounted for the
touchdown but again the attempt
for the extra point failed and the
game ended with the Colonels victorious, 14-12.

Test Bloomsburg "Five"
Girls' Basketball
Season to Open
by Lynne Dente
Miss Marita Zoolkoski, girls'
basketball coach, recently welcomed a banner turnout of 26 aspirants for the starting positions
on the team.
A schedule has been arranged
and will include the teams of Moravian, Muhlenberg, and Misericordia.
However, the girls saw action Wednesday in a scrimmage with Wyoming Seminary.
Miss Zoolkoski, in her coaching
debut, has some fine prospects to
work with this season especially
among the large turnout of frosh.
She urges the students and faculty
to lend their support to the team
by attending both the home and
away games. Home games will be
played at the gymnasium and no
admission will be charged.
An unofficia.l Colonel bowling
team travels to Bloomsburg on Sunday to tackle the Huskies of BSTC
at the Midway Lanes. Both teams
are composed of the leading scorers
of each college's intramural bowling league.
This is the first venture by either
college into competiti ve bowling, a
new idea in local intercollegiate
sporting events. The match is billed
as an "inter-intramural" affair,
neither team having any official
san ction or recognition as representative of its school.
Plans are for the two teams to
r: eet again in a return match in
\'i ilkes-Barre within a short time.
Site of the match will be the Jewish
Comm unity Center, with Jimmy's
Central Lanes and Kingston Lanes
a s alternates in case of conflict.
Repr esenting the Wilkes co-ed
lea gue will be Dan Lewis, Emil Pet asek, Dave Sokira, Bill Watkins
and Dick Myers. Alternate memt ers of the team are Fred Jacoby,
Joh n a pi ego and Jerry Chisarick.
Tea m members are reported to be
in . est igating other matches to keep
a ull schedule. One reason for the
int er collegiate venture is to promote interest among the students
in bowling, particularly in the
int ra n:ural program.
INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
NOTICE
This is the final call for Intramural basketball rosters. Rosters
plus captain's name must be turned
in to Mr. Reese no later than
December 11. League schedules
will be prepared over the Christmas
vacation and play will start in
January.

The Wilkes Bowling League saw many of its top bowlers in
a slump Sunday night, November 22, as many of the big guns
slipped out of the limelight.
A clean sweep victory by the Gutterdusters over the Kingpins highlighted the events of the evening. The victory dropped
the Kingpins from second to fourth place, and put the Gutterdusters, formerly in fourth place, into a second place tie with the
Blitzkriegs. In other contests, the Blitzkriegs defeated the Flatballs, 3-1, and the Pinbusters copped three points from the
Smashers.
Dan Lewis and Bernie Shupp led
their victorious Gutterdusters with
a 200-559 and 170-486. Jerry Kulesa, 173-430, and Tom Dysleski,
157-418, were high for the losers.
Fred Jacoby rolled a 235-529 to
help his Blitz.kri egs in their drive
for first .place. Dave Godsiskowski
helped with a 179-487. John Mattey was high for the Flatba.Jls with
a 189-501. Jerry Chisarick stayed
close behind with a 194-484.
Dave Sokira regained his old
form Sunday as he toppled a 245617. Along with Emil Petrasek,
162-4'68, he enabled the Pinbusters
to hold on to first place. John Sapiego, 175-462, and Mark Adelson,
155-437, were high men for the last
place Smashers.
The scoring:
Gutterdusters - Lewis 200-559,
Shupp 170-486, Dick Myers 165451, Lois Tremayne 152-400, Carl

OPEN WITH VICTORY
The Colonels defeated the Susquehanna Crusaders in their opening game Wednesday night, 73-66,
on the latter's court.
Wilkes
grabbed a 43-38 halftime lead as
a result of an all-court defense
against the Crusaders whkh paid
off in the point colu:nn for the
Davismen.
Susquehanna came back to tie
the score in the second half at 5959, and then took the lead at 67-64.
However, a last minute spurt by
the Colonels brought the victory to
Wilkes, 73-69. George Gacha was
high man with 26 points, and Be:-n!e
Radecki tallied 14 counters.
Home Opener
Eddie Davis' charges will give
the home fans their first look at
Wilkes basketball Monday night
when they meet the Juniata Indians
in the college gymnasium at 8:15.
Coach Arnold Greene wel : omed
back only two lettermen from last
season's team which won 13 games
while dropping 9. The returnees
are Jack Heading, a junior from
Johnstown, Pa. and Steve Gerlo: k,
sophomore from Mount Union, _'a .
Heading led the team in scorin 6 an J
rebounding in his freshman yea .
and should be the biggest threat
in the Juniata lineup. Gerlo : k,
standing at 6' 5", also is a '.lne
scorer and a big man under the
boards.
The remainder of the lndiam'
starting lineup is doubtful as
Greene will have to dip into sophomore and freshman candidates to
come up with a first five.
The Colonels will be seekin 6 to
avenge an 8-0-64 defeat handed t ...
them by the Indians last year a .

Shangri-La·Successful;
Oriental Theme Unique
by Jim Jackiewicz
The recent Chapman Hall Fall
Party, "An E vening in Shangri-la,"
was unique inasmuch as the theme
was Oriental. Because of the liberal turnout, the party was quite
successful.
General chairman for the affair
was Bianca Moscato. Publicity was
handled by Carol Tangora and arrangements for refreshments were
made by Mary Ann Lee.
An Oriental atmosphere was supplied by Chinese decorations and
the Chapman girls wearing oriental apparel. Further adding to the
Oriental flavor were Japanese low
tables and cushions for those having refreshments. Dance music
was provided by the Ambassadors.
During the party, the Chapmanites presented an unparallelled
floor show. Annette Barbini danced
a jazz interpretation to begin the
production. Her act was followed
by two piano solos by Tom Hrynkiw. A hula and chorus line, composed of Chapman girls, were the
climax of the extravaganza.

An open house will be held at
Parrish and Chapman Halls, South

administration and education, and
political science departments of the
college. The Finance Department
of the college is located on the
ground floor of the building.
Cha.p man Hall, formerly the
home of the president of the Glen

University of Scranton.
Applications for loans for the
coming spring semester will be
available on the first floor of Chase
Hall today until December 18.
A sample application will also be
ost ed. Any student who has a
-;uestion regardin g the loans should
:ee Mr. Morris, whose office is
located on the first floor of Chase
Hall.
A co.mmittee composed of most
of the members of the administra°tion will evaluate the a,pplications.
Grants will be made on the basis
of need, and each candidate must
have an a Yerage of at least 1.85.
The application of any student
whose grades are in doubt will be
held until the grades for the present semester are received in order
to make a fair evaluation.
Although some preference will be
given to students majoring in education, engineering, mathematics,
n:odern foreign languages, or
science, the basic criterion for determining who shall receive a loan
will be the n eed of the student.
If a student who receives a loan
becomes a teacher in a public elementary or secondary school a fter
graduation, the paym·ent of his
loan will be reduced 10 per cent
a year up to a maximum of 50 p er
cent. For example, if a student
borrows $1 ,000 over a period of
four years and enters the t ea : hing
Deld, his payment will be reduced
,,100 plus interest every year for
his first five years of teaching. The
remaining $500 may be paid within
ten years after graduation.
It should also be noted that interest does not accrue while the
student is in college, in graduate
school, or in the armed forces for
a period up to three years, nor does
r~avment begin during this period.
If a person who make a loan becomes disabled or dies, the unpaid
°l:::alance of the loan is cancelled.
If a student transfers to another
college which is participating in
this program, the student's records
regarding the loan will also be
transferred.
