Kool Yool Ramble Tomorrow; Speakeasy Theme Prevails 11 11 by Leona Baiera Grab your rqccoon coat, bring your swinging horn, and come to the "Kool Yool Ramble", the latest of many recent campus-wide dorm parties. This affair will arouse the campus tomorrow night from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., after the Wilkes-Wagner basketball game and will be held in McClintock Hall. School Spirit Committee Backs Christmas Caroling McC!intock and Barre Hall have combined forces to sponsor this party which will featur e a "Jam Session," the first public jam session on campus in recent years. All members of the student body and faculty are invited to bring their own musical instruments and join with Jack Melton and his band and "let their hair down." Although the Melton orchestra is well-known for its appearances at campus formals, it will assume another role when it brings jaz,z to tomorrow's night's party. However, students attending will find that a variety of dances - fox trots, cha-chas, polkas, and jitterbugs - has been planned by the program committee. McC!intock Hall will be t emporarily transformed into a "speakeasy," complete with "flappers," " bathtub gin," and jazz. Several surprises, designed to startle and amuse all party-goers, will be on the agenda. Refreshments and "good cheer" will be free, but a nominal 49 cent donation will be required from each person attending, to help cover expenses. Committee heads for the party are: general chairmen, Augusta Sidari and Gene Stickler; general coordinator, Les Andres; decorations, Janie Palka, Owen Francis, Vince Capo; refreshments, Claire Handler , George Gavales; tickets, Sylvia Natt, Rich Friedberg; publicity, Ann Curley, Bill Hunt. by Wayne Thomas The Christmas Caroling project is the major item on the School Spirit a genda for next week.

After leaving the gym, the carolers will sing at all the dormitories, and at the residences of Dr. Farley and Dean Cole. Donuts and cocoa will be served at Chapman Hall, which is the last building to b'c! visited by the carolers. Jim Stephens' chairman of the committee, announced that there will be no meeting next week due to the busy holiday schedule of events. Christmas Assembly Features Collegians, Women's, Mixed Groups by Doug Keating The annual Christmas a ssembly program will be held on Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the auditorium of the Fir st Presbyterian Church.

KC Opens New Building; Library, Science Units Included in Structure by Steve Cooney King's College's new Science Building was formally dedicated at exercises held last Sunday at the college. The ultra-modern fourstory structure was built at a cost of $1,125,000. The basement of the building contains the new cafeteria, which has facilities for the entire student body. On the main floor of the new structure is the new auditorium which has a complete stereophonic sound system and a seating capacity of 500. Also included on the main floor is a huge lobby for the use of theatre-goers at intermission. The second and third floors are devoted to biology, physics, and chemistry labs and classrooms. The new library takes up the entire fourth floor. This new addition to the college is adjacent to the main building on North River Street. Before the dedication exercises an open house was held for the public. IDC Plans Yule Party; Refreshments, Dancing Highlight Seasonal Affair by Steve Cooney The Inter-Dormitory All Student Christmas Party - a traditional part of campus Christmas celebration - will be held next Thursday evening from 9 to 12 in the Commons. As in the past, there will be no charge for the evening of festivities, and although the party is being held by the IDC, it is open to the ENTIRE STUDENT BODY. Music for the evening will be furnished by the Dynamics, and members of the faculty have promised to provide entertainment. The buffet style m enu for the evening will include Christmas "goodies," sandwiches, cookies, sweets, coffee, and soda. Pat Belardinella is general chairman of the affair, and each of the dormitories is responsible for providing some aspect of the evening's entertainment. by Jay Olexy A Christmas panorama, complete with myriads of colored lights, stately evergreen trees with shimmering icicles ... a g igantic, fluffyw bite snowman . .. a colorful winter snow scene ... and a canopy of f esti ve blue and white streamers will unfold at the gymnasium tonight. This will be the setting for the thirteenth annual Christmas Formal, sponsored by the Lettermen's Club. The "socialites" attending will waltz to the music of Lee Vincent and his orchestra from 9 p.m. to midnight. They will be received at the door by Dean and Mrs. George Ralston, Dr. and Mrs. Harold Thatcher, Dr. and Mrs. John Gaito, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Morgan, and Messers. Carl Havira, Ray Yanchus, and their dates. General co-chairmen for tonight's affair, Joe Morgan and Carl Havira, have worked diligently to insure that the high standards of entertainment and pageantry, outstanding in past formals, will be met this year. Jim N eddoff and Ron Simms, heading the decorations committee, have come up with some unusual ideas which are sure to add to everyone's enjo yment of the holiday season. Supplementing the huge snowman in the center of the gym will be a small imitation brick wall around the bandstand which will be incorporated into the winter scene. The area between the wall and the bandstand will be blanketed with snow rising to the level of the stage. The whole effect will be crowned with a canopy of blue and white streamers which will extend over the dance area. In addition to the dazzling panorama, each table will be adorned with small "yule logs" and candles. The women of TDR have voluntarily aided in this project. Special credit and a word of thanks go to Frank Polanowski and Clancy Dennis, who painted the beautiful backdrop, which will feature a typical "Currier and Ives" winter scene. Joe Hiznay, program chairman, and Eddie Kemps, favors chairman, have helped to make the occasion a memorable one for every young lady attending. Each lady will receive an attractive program to add to her college "memoirs,'' and Santa will be on hand to present her with "something extra." The intermission program will again feature the singing of Christmas music by the Lettermen, under the direction of Mr. John Detroy. Millie Gittins, "most esteemed" honorary member of the club, will accompany. Bob Chew and Barry Yocum, ticket co-chairmen, r emind those still wishing to attend that tickets will be sold at the door. Price is $4.00 per couple. Other committee heads are: Pat Shovlin, refreshments; Lou Davis, invitations; Jay Olexy, chaperons; Marvin Antinnes and Paul Aquilino, publicity. �WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 Friday, December 11, 1959 IXIIIXIIIXXIIXIIXIIIXIXX EDITORIALS A Vicious Circle Letter to the Editor ... comment on any but campus affairs. For reasons too lengthy to discuss here, we have adhered to that policy but only while waiting to observe general trends in campus conversations concerning non-campus topics. The recent steel strike and its resulting tie-up in the industrial output of the Nation, have demonstrated clearly a development toward insane headlong drives into the realization of Mr. Khrushchev's "overtaking" boasts. .Through constantly rising wage demands the unions are forcing the price of goods made by their members so high that they can't compete with foreign goods. American manufacturers then tum to automation to make their products more cheaply, or quit making their products. Either way, the employee is out of work. In areas such as ours, traditionally strong for labor, this trend has led to growing unrest in the minds of citizens, union members included, concerning the misuse or abuse of power by the unions. Government then comes along to swing its axe through taxes to drain off job-making capital and through inflationary spending that destroys savings. There can be no jobs unless somebody saves enough money to buy the tools, plant, and raw materials for employees to work with. In a vicious circle, high taxes mean less to be saved, while inflation means that more money must be saved for necessary equipment, thus crippling the saving and investing process which creates jobs. If government and union officials intend to see "full employment," they had better drop ''I'll eat my hat" statements and take another long look at their plans. Unfortunately we have no solution to offer. Breaking a vicious circle is a vicious task. As college students, leaders in the too-soon-here future, we must be aware of these dangerous practices. We should observe, discuss and consider the trends and all possible angles for solutions. If the pendulum swing from the Industrial Revolution's management abuses to today's labor unions' excessive power is to be set at rest somewhere near a median point, government must be wary when fooling with the adjustment mechanism. Government, labor, management-tomorrow that's us-had better stop pointing fingers at each other and start pointing towards the future. * * * * * Editor, Beacon Staff Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mr. Editor: Like, I want to thank the students of Wilkes College for their participation and co-operation in making the "Beatnik Bop" such a swinging affair. The response to the theme was the greatest and the atmosphere created by the students the most. Again, "thanks" to the student body. Sincerely, John G. Gavazzi Pres., Psych.-Soc. Club It has been a general policy on the Beacon to avoid editorial IIIIIIIXXIIIIIXIIXIIIXXI Before You Register One of the reasons for speedier and more efficient registration has been the elimination of the Finance tie-up in the gym. This was accomplished by the department accepting payments in advance and giving the student a stub receipt. With the new policies revealed last week, we see that positive steps toward faster registration continue. Before you register, however, you would do well to pay a visit to the Finance office to do as you did in September-pay. No student will be allowed to pass the first desk if he doesn't have his receipt. Payment is set, as in September, at a minimum of $100. Mrs. Connolly has announced that the receipts will be ready for use following the Christmas holidays, giving everyone ample time to pay early and avoid lengthy lines and unnecessary delays. As in the start of the Fall semester, anyone paying by mail will have his receipt sent to the Registrar's office, where the receipt will be held for the student. Any student whose tuition is paid by an outside agency must report to the Finance office early to check with Mrs. Connolly on the payments which will be made for him. Dormitory residents are reminded that registration time means that dorm fee payments are due also. Another reminder for both day and dorm students is that the insurance paid for at the start of the school year runs until June. No further payment is required on either the $7 accident or the $21.50 health insurance programs. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Lettermen's Club Christmas Formal - Tonight, 9 - . ' Gymnasium.

Dues, Charity, Buffet Major Items for TDR There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts The evidence of moral malnutrition lies around us in every college and community as a result of the dictates of the public enemies who make money out of moral defeat and care not a darn for the hell on earth they cause. Addressing the Asian and African nations recently, Mr. Khrushchev, referring to his visit to a Hollywood show, said, "If that display of pornography was any example of American morals, I foresee an easy task in burying the Americans in their own defeat." Today atomic war is a threat so terrible that men shudder to think of it. Yet there is a ·p enetration into the heart of society that promises a slower but more effective extinction. Moral decadence has defeated many civilizations before ours. A wise man would not argue that better schooling and antibiotics have cured this growing cancer in modern life. These two tragic destinies, atomic war and moral decadence, must be understood and the answer-moral rearmament-brought with the utmost speed on a world scale. The strength of a nation is measured by its fight for purity. When this moral bastion goes, decay creeps through the whole society. Then honesty depends only on the possibility of getting caught. Loyalty lasts only as long as it is expedient. Cooperation must pay an obvious cash dividend, or give way to "every man for himself." Then moral judgement becomes the matter of a daily plebiscite, and what is morally good becomes identical with what the crowd wants and accepts. What a man ought or ought not to do becomes determined, not by moral standdards, but by the whims of the people. Moral awareness of the student is less easily explained. Students are apprentices in that noble work of finding and proclaiming the truth, not tried by the demands of society, by and large, to compromise their moral convictions; they look to the professor as a disciple looks to the master. IT HAPPENED HERE What happens when a Wilkes student of presumably superior intelligence and breeding, supposedly sensitive to the moral issue of truth, finds that he was wantonly accusing his professor of the same things he was doing himself? First, he realized that he was part of a group that betrayed the people around him by telling them what they wanted to hear and not what was right. Secondly, this Wilkes student went to his professor and apologized for defaming his moral standing. This student told the professor how he had criticized him for his morally questionable methods of teaching. At first the professor was silent; then he thanked the student for coming to him and related some of his own experiences. From then on a new cordial relationship developed between the student and professor simply because the student changed. No longer is the student blasphemous and the professor has changed his teaching methods. Today the lives of many people alternate between the excitements and depressions of immorality in every form because the modern world is full of deliberate appeals to sexual stimulation. In this age moral obtuseness signifies the beginning of the end of civilized society and is evidenced by self-centeredness and immaturity. There is an answer for the man or woman who is seeking to breaik the chain of enslavement to their desires. If their danger is falling off cliffs, why walk along the edge? People know well enough what books, pictures, and associations to avoid. Leave one weak spot in the dike and the whole land may be flooded. The progress of defeat is the look, the thought, the fascination, and the fall. The progression is best stopped after the look-the first one. If we do not look at the wrong thing, we may have a better chance to think the right thing. "Sow a thought, reap an act; sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap destiny." YOU ARE . . . OR YOU ARE NOT Moral Re-Armament has no membership. You are in or out of it according to the quality of life you live. No dues are paid. Contributions by various people finan ce the movement. M.R.A. means honesty purity, unselfishness, and love-absolutely, personally, and nationall/ M.R.A. means power to change people--our enemies as well as our friends-the other fellow and the other nation. It is God's gift to bring an insane world to sanity. by Jean Shofranko A surprisingly large number of TDR members "braved the elements" Monday evening to attend the combination monthly meeting and Christmas party of the sorority. President Beverly Butler began the discussion of old business by complimenting Augusta Sidari and members of committees on the success of the Old People's Party held last Saturday. Miss Butler reminded members that each coed must pay her dues and meet membership requirements each semester in order to remain in good standing in the sorority. Barbara Bachman, chairman of the annual Christmas buffet, announced that plans were near completion. She reported that the buffet will be held on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Commons. Next on the agenda was a report by Doris Gademan, chairman, who announced that the main projects for December concern the Salvation Army. Members have volunteered to "man" kettles in Central City on December 10 and contribute and distribute gifts at the Salvation Army's Children's Christmas Party to be held at the Citadel W ednesday. A report on School Spirit activities was given and members unanimously agreed to purchase an ad in the 1960 edition of the Amnicola. Miss Butler began the discussion of new business with a request for m embers to aid the Lettermen in decorating the gymnasium for the Christmas Formal to be held tonight. The possibility of holding a bake sale in January was discussed next. Since the TDR treasury must be supplemented by a money-making project, members decided to take immediate steps in planning the sale. Claire Handler, chairman, requested full cooperation from members. After the business meeting members enjoyed a Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged, punch Sunday, December 13, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the and cookies were served, and carols Wilkes College gymnasium will open its doors to an expected were sung. large audience which will come to hear fifty young musicians Symphonelle lo Make Debut; Three Wilkes Students Featured Novices Take 2nd Place; Future Contests Awaited by Ralph Price Last Saturday the Wilkes College novice debating team placed second in the 13th Annual Temple Novice Debating Tournament. This tournament was held at Temple University in Philadelphia and 56 schools competed. Wilkes was edged out .by Dartmouth who had an 8-0 record. Wilkes' record stood at 7-1. The affirmative debators, Barry O'Connell and Jerry Krasa, defeated Misericordia, Fordham, and Villanova, while losing to Seton Hall. The negative t eam of Brent O'Connell and Francis Riofski defeated Rutgers, St. Elizabeth's, N.Y.U., and Brooklyn College.

Wilkes widened the gap in the second game as Emil Petrasek 207, Dave Sokira 201, and Lewis with 197 led the 903-807 win. Weakening in the closing frames of the third game, the locals dropped an 847-821 decision. Tom Payne, with 189-535, and Jim Wagner, 196-483, were top scorers for the Huskies. Scoring: Wilkes: Lewis 609, Sokira 520, Myers 508, Bill Watkins 177-494, and Petrasek 493. BSTC: Payne 536, Wagner 483, Harry Criswell 168-464, John Huda 180-459, and Bud Weber 158-439. 1111111111111111 II IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII You Are Cordially Invited The basketball team meets two of its most admirable foes of -the season in the next few days when they engage Wagner College tomorrow night in the college gymnasium and then journey to Philadelphia on Wednesday to play Philadelphia Textile Institute. Wagner comes to Wilkes with a tall team, led by John Orlando, senior guard, who has been the sparkplug of the squad for the past three seasons. Orlando was hampered with a leg injury most of the last campaign but seems to have recovered sufficiently and is expected to see lots of action this year. The Dutchmen will also depend upon 6'6" center Bob Junta to aid their rebounding game. Junta ranked high among Wagner's scorers last year and led the team in rebounds. The Colonels were beaten by Wagner last year, 70-62, on the latter's court on Staten Island, New York. Wednesday the team goes to the City of Brotherly Love to take on Philadelphia Textile Institute. Textile has been coming up with fine teams year after year and this season figures to be no exception. The Weavers have posted two victories already but were defeated by Long Island University in their last outing, 83-78. Senior Bob Simons, is one of the leading scorers on the team and has always spelled trouble for the Colonels. Simons tallied 21 against L.I.U. Herb Magee, a freshman from West Catholic High School in Phila delphia, has provided the Weavers with added scoring punch and ranks as one of the leading point-getters on the squad. Magee scored 22 in the L.I.U. game. Wilkes has been rough on Tex tile the past two years, having de feated them twice and last season eliminating them from a possible small college post tournament bid with an 83-69 defeat. Friday's Results Clem Gavenas' second half scor ing s·purt lead the the Colonels to a 70-64 win over the Lycoming Warriors last Friday at Williams port. Wilkes trailed at halftime, 37-33, but Gavenas got hot and made 6 of 8 long two-hand set shots to spark the team to their 70-64 victory. Gavenas was the leading scorer with 18 points along with guard George Gacha who also tallied 18, ten of which came in the second half. Bernie Radecki made 11 of 14 foul shots and finished with 13 points. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -· T.D.R. NOTICE TDR Is collecting toys for underprivileged children.

President John Mulhall presided. The major portion of discussion centered around suggestions for the class gift and the possibility of having a class dinner-dance next semester. Christine Winslow mentioned several popular ideas for a class gift. She then explained the administration''s adverse response to all of them and proposed some new ideas. A spirited discussion ensued. John Mulhall then asked for discussion on a class dinner-dance. Discussion was favorabl e, and a motion to have a class dinner-dance on March 4 was passed. Gil Davis, junior class president, appeared at the meeting to outline plans for the forthcoming Louis Armstrong jazz concert which will be presented next spring. Davis asked for volunteers to sell tickets for this affair and thus insure its success. Frank Edwards, Amnicola editor, explained the need for student support in financing the yearbook. A motion to purchase a $30 ad in the yearbook was passed by the class. This motion concluded new business and the m eeting was adjourned. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING The Junior Class held its meeting last Tuesday in the auditorium of the First Presybterian Church. The most important issue discussed was the proposed hiring of a 'big name' for a jazz concert in early April. After some discussion the class unanimously voted to engage Louis Armstrong if plans for this concert are approved. The fact was mentioned that this band would cost more, of course, than any other band previously appearing at Wilkes. For this reason one hundred and fifty people are being asked to promise to try to sell ten tickets each to insure the success of this venture. Tickets will sell for about two dollars each. This is considered a moderate price for an evening of entertainment by a famous musician. Campus and local participation will be necessary to insure the success of this and anticipated future projects. SOPHOMORE CLASS by Marilyn Krackenfels The Sophomore Class meeting, held Tuesday at the Jewish Community Center, centered around the discussion of several class projects slated for the near future. The first of these, a Christmas party for some of the underprivileged children in the area will be handled entirely by the students in conjunction with the Valley welfare agencies. The children will be treated to a party in their honor and each presented with a personal gift. Mike Bianco is in charge. The second project on the class agenda is the sale of second-hand books during mid-semester. The book committee, headed by Judy Butchko, will collect books during and after finals, catalogue, price, and have them ready for sale before the second semester. The basement of Stark Hall will be used for the collection and distribution center. Gil Davis, president of the Junior Class, requested that the sophomores aid in the advance sale of tickets necessary before the Junior Class can proceed with its plans to bring Louis Armstrong on campus. Old business attended to was the presentation of bowling trophies to Sally Smith and Bill Watkins who attained the highest women's and men's bowling scores at last year's class outing. Sandy Sidari accepted the award for Miss Smith. Friday, December 11, 1959 ----------------------=----------Winter Carnival at PMI; FRESHMAN CLASS by Lynne Dente The second meeting of the class of '63 was opened .by the class president, Steve Robertson, who introduced Gil Davis, president of the Junior Class. Gil spoke to the class about the possibility of bringing Louis Armstrong and his band to the Wilkes campus on April 2, 1960. In order to secure Mr. Armstrong's services for the evening, Dr. Farley has stipulated that 200 people must sell 10 tickets apiece. A paper was passed and signed by students who felt they would be able to sell the tickets. The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting, and the treasurer reported a $65 profit from the Freshman Dance on December 4. Jim Walters, a student government representative, reported that the class constitution was submitted to and accepted by the Student Government. He told the class that the Student Government is preparing an activity calendar for the benefit of the students .Walters also mentioned that all students who are interested in helping prepare for the Winter Carnival should sign the notice on the bulletin board. Brent O'Connell expressed a desire for more participation at class functions.

Among the gifts distributed were a large number of toys collected by sorority members. Instead of repairing toys solicited on campus, as was done last year, the coeds set up a collection box at Chapman Hall. Sorority members who distributed the toys reported that they had a very enjoyable time entertaining the children and selecting appropriate toys for the various age groups.

This machine, which in reality is a bacteria "crusher," was created by Hanover students, under the supervision of Hanover's biology department. The crusher operates by applying pressure to plastic tubes, which contain both the bacteria and quantities of microscopic glass beads. The bacteria are crushed, then these harmless bacteria are used to study the possibility of creating immunizing drugs from the harmless bacteria. Members of the Wilkes faculty directing this research project are Dr. Sheldon Cohen and Mr. Calvin Freeman.

Legal? Today is the deadline for application for loans under the National Defense Education Act. According to Robert Morris, who is in charge of distributing these applications, only 23 have applied for aid under the Federal program. Last Spring 70 applied. Mr. Morris states that there is a danger that the Wilkes appropriation under the act may be cut if the response doesn't come up to expectations. We can scarcely believe that our college has become a haven for financially independent students. Furthermore, we suspect that there must be some valid reason for the lack of interest in picking up aid to further one's education. Some inkling of the reasons behind the hesitancy may be seen in the public skepticism concerning the act expressed by high-ranking government officials, including President Eisenhower. In a report prepared by the Harverd "Crimson" recently, the center of dissatisfaction seems to be section lO0l(f) of the N.D.E.A. This is the famous-or infamous-"loyalty oath" provision which has caused seven prominent colleges to refuse even to participate in the Title II loan program. They were: Princeton, Haverford, Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr, Amherst, Antioch, and Reed. Later, Oberlin, Harvard and Yale reconsidered their participation, withdrew, and returned the funds that .had been granted to them. The main objection seems to be that under Title II loans, each institution is given a certain lump sum to distribute to its students as it deems proper. Therefore, the institutions do more than send in the applications, they directly administer the loyalty provision. Furthermore, Title II of the N.D.E.A. is the only program of its kind which requires matching funds from the college. In effect, this means that the college not only administers the loyalty provision for the government; it must also require an oath and affidavit in return for its own money. Dr. William P. Fidler, testifying before a Senate committee on behalf of the American Association of University Professors, stated the A.A.U.P.'s objections to the disclaimer affidavit: "First, our belief that it is a denial of due process of law to compel an individual to gauge his conduct by such vague criteria, when criminal liability may tum on his action; second, our grave doubts as to the constitutionality of a provision which may infringe upon the first amendment protection of freedom of belief and association; third, our repugnance against test oaths of any kind; and fourth, our particular objection as educators to being singled out and being required to testify that we are not being disloyal." The matter certainly bears closer investigation. While few loyal citizens would refuse to swear to their loyalty, any man would .object to having to prove his loyalty to the United States, particularly when a subversive agent at whom the provision is aimed would not hesitate to perjure himself, oaths be damned. The disclaimer affidavit suggests a lack of confidence in youth by its government through means of a device which is ineffective at best, and perhaps unconstitutional.

Read fices appear in the "Dean's Corner" them and heed them DAILY. of the College bulletin board behind December 14, 1959 Dear Editor: Last Friday's edition of the Beacon included an article concerning the compulsory class meetings held last week. The portion of the article dealing with the meeting of the senior class included a resume of a report submitted by myself concerning the work of the class gift committee. The resume, which stated that my r eport included an explanation of the administration's adverse response to all the suggestions proposed for a class gift, was rather inaccurate. In my report, I stated that Mr. Picton, who has been kind enough to work with the committee, gave us some comments, from the administration's viewpoint, concerning the suggestions that had been made. It was felt that some of these suggestions were not suitable as a class gift. However, other suggestions were favorably commented upon and additional ones were made concerning areas which my committee had overlooked. Since I am convinced that the inaccuracy arose from the condensation of news which is necessitated by a number of characteristics peculiar to the press medium, I feel that the opportunity to use this column to correct this inaccuracy sufficiently deals with the matter. Sincerely, Christine Winslow "To The Campus Observer: December 8 1959 We the undersigned believe that there should be some change' as to the date of registration between semesters. As of now, most dormitory stude~ts have to travel back to school during their between-semester vacat10n, many as far as 200 miles. This is a great inconvenience and we definitely feel that some change should be made. We feel that a 'good date would be that of a dormitory students' last final exam. This would only pertain to dormitory students." The above was signed by many students from several dormitori es. The Observer talked with Mr. Whitby about the situation; Mr. Whitby made the point that the above example would not be fair to other students. He offered the suggestion that dorm students have another student register for them. The idea also arose for dorm students to fill out the large schedule blocks as much as possible before registration leaving on!! the actual classes to be fill ed in by the other students who would register dorm s!ud~nts. This would be a registration by "proxy." Another obJecbon to the plan proposed by the dorm students is that students would not know at final exams if they had passed all their courses or not. Failure in one course alone would disrupt the early registration. The administi:ation . reali~es the hardship that is felt by dorm stustudents due to this_ reg1st~·at10n plan. If any worthwhile suggestion is brought forth to reheve this hardship, and still be fair to ALL students the Observer is certain it will he used. It must be considered from not only the student angle, but also from the viewpoint of the faculty and the administration. APPOINTMENT "POLICY" Have you ever made an appointment with a member of the administrati~n? If you have, you probably have been kept waiting long past the time scheduled for the appointment. Take for example the person who has an ~ppointment at 2 o'clock. Arriving a few minutes before 2, he seats himself for what· is supposedly a few minutes wait. Two o'cl_ocik comes and goes and still he sits. Two-thirty arrives, the buzzer rmgs, :ind someone else gets the nod to enter the office. Finally, your turn arrives, only to find that someone has just arrived that MiUST see so-and-s? immediately. So you sit and wait some more. At last, you are admitted to the inner sanctum, and the purpose of your appointment is r evealed to you. This practice occurs too often. If a business office were run in this manner, very little if anything would be accomplished. The Observer From: Court of Appeals Chairman would like to know if this practice is becoming one of the "Policies" o{ To: Student Body the school.

TDR members will exhibit their culinary masterpieces at a bake sale to be held Saturday, January 30, at P o m er o y' s Department Store, fifth floor. Baked goods, including cookies, cakes, breads, and candies, will be sold from 10 a.m. until the supply is exhausted. Claire Handler, general chairman of the affair, announced that members contributing goods must bring them to McClintock Hall on January 29. Since dormitory students and other coeds wm be unable to bake goods for the affair, members agreed that each person who does not contribute food will have the opportunity to contribute money which it would have taken to make a particular item. Thus, all members will be able to take an active role in the project, designed to supply needed funds for the Valentine semi-formal. Semi-Formal Ne~t on the agenda was the Valentine semi-formal, to be held Friday, February 12, in the gymnasium. Herbie Greene will supply music for dancing from 9 to 12 at the traditionally girl-ask-boy, boyask-girl affair.

Chinese Actress ToSpeakTuesday Chinese Theatrical Producer Here for Next Assembly Program by Lynne Dente One of the most prominent women of today will be the guest speaker at the last assembly program assembly of the semester, Tuesday at 11. Li Ling Ai, lecturer, writer, and actress will speak to the students on a topic which should be of in- Li Ling Ai t erest to theatre lovers, a comparison between Chinese and Western Thea,tre. The title of her lecture is "Behind the Embroidered Fan." Miss Ai, who was born in Hawaii, of distinguished Chinese parents, was graduated from the University of Hawaii. Following her graduation she went to China, where she did research work on the Chinese Thea,ter and directed plays for the Fine Arts Institute.

In his address, "The Beat Generation and the Careful Young Man," Dr. Vujica contrasted the seriousness of Russian writers such as Dudintsev and Pasternak with the frivolousness of such western philosophers as the existentialists and members of the "beat generation." Explaining the "beat phenomenon," Dr. Vujica presented colorful quotations from "beat" literature in which the "square," a slave to commodities and conventions is scorned. The "beat" practice voluntary poverty and unconventional living and spend their time writing and reading poetry, painting, meditating and listening to music. They seize the present, living it to the fullest extent in order to gain every ounce of enjoyment. Dr. Vujica pointed out that the "beat" philosophy contains a grain of truth for it rebels against the commercialized civilization of the machine and atomic age in which man becomes a slave to gadgets. Concluding, Dr. Vujica said, "In dramatizing certain evil tendencies of our society, the 'beat' generation may be doing the 'square' a service by shaking him out of his complacency. The tragedy is that these rebels have nothing more constructive to solve the problems of the Atomic Age." Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen, associate professor of Biological Research, will have a paper presented next week at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy in Miami, Florida. I.t will be presented during the Scientific Program between January 11 and 13. The paper is entitled "Serotonin and Histamine-Effecting Agents and E xperimental Vascular Sensitization." It is based on studies conducted in ,t he Department of Biology by Dr. Cohen and Theresa Sapp, research assistant. Research grants from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Heart Association and the National Heart Institute of the U. S. Public Health Dr. Sheldon G. Cohen Service supported these studies.

Salle is now recognized around the world. The man responsible for the Salle vaccine has become one of medicine's great figures and his name is a household word. . Yet 17 years ago, back in 1942, Jonas E. Salle was just another name on an application blank, another young research scientist, requesting fellowship assistance to study viruses. An award of $2,100 was· granted. A little over 10 years later this man announced to the world the first effective means of preventing a disease that had left human wreckage strewn across the face of the globe for centuries. The $2,100 invested in 1942 in Jonas E. Salle was an investment of the American people through the March of Dimes. Since 1938 more than 8,000 other young Americans have been aided in training through March of Dimes fellowships and scholarships. Dr. Salle is not the only famous "alumnus" of the professional education program of the The National Foundation. A Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Frederick Robbins, of Western Reserve University, Cleveland, was also a one-time "student" of this program. In 1959 The National Foundation started two new programs to help the Salks of tomorrow. Through a new fellowship program it will give resident and practicing physicians opportunities for advanced training in rheumatology or in the treatment of patients suffering from birth defects of the central nervous system, both part of The National Foundation's new program. In the health professions there is never any unemployment problem. The reason is that there simply are not enough of these skilled medical workers to fill the need. According to recent figures, there are now some 460,000 nurses caring for the sick; but at least 56,000 more are needed. There are 8,550 physical therapists; but 5,000 more are wanted. There are 5,800 occupational therapists; but 14,000 more are needed. There are 5,000 medical social workers; but 6,500 more could be used. There are 227,000 doctors, but not enough new ones are being trained. And most of the other health professions are equally understaffed. To alert college students to the unlimited opportunities open to them in the health fields and to aid some of them to get the training necessary, The National Foundation is now supporting a multi-million dollar Health Scholarship Program. In the summer of 1959 the first 403 of these scholarships were awarded to students throughout the nation. In 1960 The National Foundation will offer more than 500 Health Scholarships. Each scholarship will pay $500 a year, or a total of $2,000 for four years of college training in five key health fields of medicine, medical social work, physical therapy, nursing and occupational therapy. For prospective medical social workers, scholarships will be awarded starting with the junior year of college and extending through the two years of required graduate work. For prospective physicians, scholarships will be awarded to college upperclassmen who have been accepted for admission to · medical school. Health Scholarships, which are made possible through the New March of Dimes, are open to students in every state. Application blanks for these scholarships, which must be filed before April 1, can now be secured from the local chapter of The National Foundation. The Health Scholarship Program represents a tremendous March of Dimes investment in human resources. It is the first of its kind ever attempted on this scale. The cost is estimated at $12,000,000 over a 10-year period. But through it, thousands of young Americans will be trained for jobs worth doing and those jobs will be waiting for them wherever they choose to work. New Year's Day Wedding For Nesbitt Faculty Member by the BEACON Staff Dick Myers, chief whip-cracker at the Beacon office, has met his match at last through his New Year's Day marriage to the former Lois Tremayne. According to our reports of the big occasion, the poor young thing considered to enter wedlock with our illustrious Simon Legree a short nine days before old 1959 made his exit. In the hectic week, the couple found a vacancy at 81 W. Northampton St., behind Weiss Hall, in .the apartments maintained by the College for married students. The nuptials took place at Christ Lutheran Church, City, the Rev. Raymond A. Reed officiating. A Mrs. Richard J. Myers r eception for close friends and relatives was held at the Adams Room, Hotel Sterling. No invitations were issued for the short-notice affair. Mrs. Myers was graduated from Wilk es in 1957 with a B.S. in Nursing Education, received her R.N. from the Wyoming Valley Hospital .School of Nursing, and is a graduate of Westmoreland High School. She formerly lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Tremayne, Chase Road, Trucksville. Presently she serves as instructor at the Nesbitt Hospital School of Nursing. The Editor will leave Wilkes in June with an A.B. in English. He is a veteran of three years in the A'l'my Security Agency, spent twc years in the Philippine Islands as a sergeant at Clark Air Force Base. Following the ceremony on the clear, crisp first day of the year, the couple honeymooned in New York; however, both were back in Friday, January 8, 1960 There Is An Answer Dishonesty is contagious; it multiplies with alarming speed. A nation needs defense against subversion from within and attack from without. Dishonesty weakens a nation's strength through the personal actions of its citizens. What about America? It does not take long to realize that absolute honesty is not suffering from overuse today. Realization of corruption in high and low places comes so thick and fast that they leave us numb with apathy. We need to find a production line of character , and fast. According to FBI reports there is an army of 7,500,000 persons engaged in crime in our country. The cost of crime comes down on every man, woman and child in an average of over $200 per year. Perhaps you congratulate yourself that you have not robbed a ban:k or committed a murder, or forged a check, but the cutting of moral corners comes for most of us in more subtly concealed fo r ms; the mother who t ells the bus conductor her child is half-fare when he is in fact overage and is surprised when the same child starts to lie to her; the man who boasts about smuggling items through customs and is indignant when his son smuggles out of his cellar the best bottle of scotch and out of his humidor his choicest cigars; the woman whose tongue cuts across the group and robs other women of their reputations; more commonly, the students who pass and receive answers to zoology exams; the chemists who collaborate on unknown reports and quantitative analysis; the students who copy reports from encyclo·p edias; those who "doctor up" personal information for self-esteem. Dishonesty no less prevalent lies in the masks we wear to dress up our personalities. Most of us have worn one among our friends. Dishonesties we condone in ourselves we condemn in others. We are horrified when others do blatantly what we do quietly but we often forget that as dishonesties· multiply in a nation they undermine its character and destroy its strength. We preach wrath against a condition we have helped to create. The meaning of absolute honesty will be plain to everyone who seeks it. There may be doubtful areas where you need advice. There are likely to be more areas about which there are no doubts. Start with them. Think out the restitution you need to make in order to put right the path. The guiding light from God will show you what, how, and when restitution should be made. Does absolute honesty pay ? Those who pioneer in absolute honesty may not need immediate cash dividends the dividends will come in inner peace. They may come in the certainty that we have done what we were meant to do. They will, above all come in the solid ·p eace of eternal life. (Ed.

The Ithaca mat squad comes to Wilkes seeking revenge for the 1713 victory the Wilkes grapplers won last year. Coach Herb Broadwell has six returning lettermen to give the Bombers another strong mat team. They are exceptionally strong in the lower weights, 157lb., and heavyweight classes. Last week the Ithaca grapplers edged out the tough Syracuse University squad, 16-15. Most of the Lthaca ·wrestlers come from Ithaca High School which has one of the best high school wrestling systems in the country. The Ithaca matmen work out with Cornell, the wrestling pride of ,t he Ivy League, so their· personnel are always in top shape. The Colonel wrestlers enter this match with a 33-3 victory over Lebanon Valley's wrestling team. Coach John Reese's charges showed their best in the initial match of the season with Capt. Joe Morgan, Brooke Yeager, Dick Stauffer, Glen Rittenhouse, Gerard Senick, and Marv Antinnes turning in falls. Bob Sislian won a decisive decision in the heavyweight class. Returning to the Blue and Gold lineup for the Ithaca match will be 157-lb. MAC tiitlist Ted Toluba. Ted was hampered by a sprained shoulder but showed he was back in top shape by capturing third place in the Wilkes Open Wrestling tournament. Also in the Wilkes lineup will be Marv Antinnes, runner-up in the 177-lb. division of the Wilkes Open. Marv became the first Colonel grappler ever to enter the tourney finals with decisive victories over some of the East's top wrestlers. In the battle of fullbacks, Al Rushatz of West Point, edged out the Colonel pride to win the 177-lb. title. I Ray Hollie's "':::•::~:'.:::"r~!

Club Aids Needy; Plans Stock Purchase by Gloria Zaludek Members of the Economics Club are sponsoring a "New Eyes For the Needy" campaign which will last throughout January and February. The idea is to collect all types o:e used eyeglasses including sunglasses and frames, regardless of their condition. These glasses will then be sent to the "New Eyes For the Needy" organization in Shorthills, New Jersey, where they will be repaired, reground and donated to needy individuals. Last year over three thousand pairs of glasses were collected, a total which the club has set as its goal for this year's campaign. Chairman Joseph Durishan stated that interested students may deposit their used glasses in the variour boxes located on campus. The club is receiving off-campus publicity from area newspapers, and TV and radio stations in connection with a telephone answering service. Various organizations, such as the Girl Scouts, have also offered their support. Investing Committee Sixteen members of the Econ Clu1b have formed a stock committee which wiU investig:ate individual stocks, record the findings, and by next semester will be prepared to offer recommendations for the purchase of stock. The club has an estimated $6700 for this purpose. An interest in stocks prompted the club's field trip to New York on Friday, January 8. Thirty-five members, with chaperon John Hotson of the Commerce and Finance Department, left via, Martz Lines at 5:30 a.m. Upon arrival in New York they toured the Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, RCA, and the NBC studios. Bill Morris was chairman of the affair. A bake sale is planned for the near future. Wilkes Jaycees Plan for Spring; To Give Awards by Marilyn Krackenfels The big event on the Wilkes College Jaycees' second semester agenda is "Bob Clark Day," scheduled for early spring. The affair, honoring Mr. Bob Cla1·k, president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce, will include a dinner at the Hotel Sterling to which all Jaycee chapters in the surrounding counties will be invited. Special guests, in addition to Mr. Clark, will be Mr. Harry Light, president of the Pennsylvania Junior Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. George Russett, Wilkes-Barre Jaycees head. A committee of three, consisting of John Mattey, Frank Steck, and Jim Morgan, is presently making plans for the day. A wards Banquet Another project in which the Wilkes Jaycees is participating is the Distinguished Services Award Banquet, being held by the Greater Wilkes-Barre Junior Chamber of Commerce. Frank Steck is cochairman of the affair, which centers around the honoring of the young man selected as outstanding in the Valley. In choosing this person, applications are sent to the local employers and social organizations who submit names of members of their organizations whom they deem worthy of the award. The nominations are limited to men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five, and- the final selection is made by a panel of three judges, whose names are well known in the community.

The issues discussed were: VicePresident Richard M. Nixon's role in the settlement of the steel strike, Communist Russia's interpretation of "Co-Existence," religious influence on college life, and student integrity. Student Government president Gordon E. Roberts was asked to discuss the role and function of the Student Government at Wilkes.

Plans for the revision of the District PSEA constitution were discussed. The revision would concern the election of members and which members would be allowed to vote at the meetings. It was decided that each representative present would take a copy of the constitution to his respective chapter and ask for suggestions. These sug.g estions· would then be taken back to the next meeting of the Student PSEA which will :be held on February 27 in the Commons at 10:30 a,m.

With the last day of classes upon us, we suddenly realize that the day of reckoning is at hand. Editorially speaking, we find that we have very little to say, as usual, and plenty of space to say it in. Thoughts of the coming final exams have pushed all issues to the farthest comers of a cluttered mind. We take this opportunity, therefore, to clear the Editor's notebook of little items we never took the time to express previously. IIIIXIIIXIIIIXXIXXXIXIXX On Finals "How come," one of our fledgling frosh reporters how-come'd this week. "we hafta sit for three hours in folding chairs, balancing lapboards to take exams?" From our lofty Olympian heights we condescendingly explained that this is policy, was adopted several years ago and worked well, puts all the eggs in one basket, provides for better supervision and frees all classrooms for such improbable things as renovations, meetings, or other worthwhile endeavors. To his anguished lament that such herding of students under such uncomfortable conditions was cruel, inhuman torture, we could only agree. "Perhaps," we perhaps'd, "future years will show a reversal of this policy. Scheduling obstacles for classrooms can be hurdled and humanitarian officials will provide lounge chairs and secretaries for the harried examinees." We didn't really believe that, though. We consoled the poor lad with the thought that if conditions do change at all, they will probably get worse. · On Advertising This week's issue brings up a matter we had intended to mention earlier, the Beacon's student rates for advertising. The Student Government, in a laudable attempt to see a better and saner Winter Carnival, has bought an ad in the paper for the dual purpose of encouraging maximum student participation and trying to head off a repeat performance of objectionable behavior. Any organization or individual on campus may make use of this service of the Beacon at reduced rates. Local advertisers pay one dollar per column inch for their ads, students who wish to advertise their activities may do so at 60 cents per column inch. Naturally, the newspaper will do all in its power to see that every activity gets adequate coverage. but there is a great difference between publicity and advertising. In nearly every case, publicity is limited by fairly standard journalistic practices. Stories must be written in a general framework conforming to these practices. Advertising, on the other hand, frees the publicity chairman from the restrictions of journalistic "who, what, where, when and why" statements and enables him to plead for support or publicize his affair with no more restrictions than those imposed by common sense and good taste. For further information, drop a line to the Editor via the Beacon mailbox, basement, Chase Hall. Dea r Sir: There are many girls who are dissatisfied with the prevailing conditions in the girls' .g ym classes. In the beginning of the semester, we were requested to purchase new gym suits, rather than use those that we had used in high school. For some girls, this was a financial strain which was completely unnecessary. Then we were informed that we were required to take showers. Although this rule was not strictly enforced at times, when it was enforced, approximately fifty girls fought over six showers. This led to mass confusion. There was also a great lack of privacy in the showers. The first activity that we undertook was the playing of children's ga,mes. These games were specifically designed for young children and were of little interest to anyone but, possibly, elementary education majors. After being sufficiently exposed to these .g ames, we started to play ,basketball. This is satisfactory in a limited amount, but it does get a little aggravating when little else is done. Some students, especially those who have gym classes twice a week, find this routine very monotonous. If more variety were added to the gym schedule, the classes would be more enjoyable for everyone concerned, and there would certainly be better attendance. (Name withheld by request) On Respect -- A New S~ant Some time ago, a professor - who shall remain nameless startled us with the suggestion that ,t he students should take pains to show a little less respect to their instructors. Before we recovered from the shock, he went on to note that too many sudents sit quietly and respectfully, happy to accept as gospel every word uttered from the front of the room. This same prof went on to reveal that he had, on several occasions, made blatantly ridiculous statements in hopes of stirring up some class participation, only to be greeted with the industrious scribbling of note-taking automatons, happily gobbling up a lot of hogwash. He concluded that "respect" was probably not the true description of this phenomenon; instead he attributed it to plain intellectual sloth. This writer has found himself on all too many occasions mirroring these regrettable actions along with many of his supposedly more intelligent colleagues. Is this a trend? We fear it is. That we are aware of it is an encouraging sign. Whether or not we can change the situation is another thing. Are students entirely at fault, or is this another case of a vicious circle? It could be that a moderately argumentive class may slow down, forcing the prof to become more pedantic and take larger steps to dominate discussion to the end that he simply lectures until the bell rings and then forgets he ever faced a class. There are probably several other explanations for the decline in class discussion. Instructors themselves may be wholly at fault. We don't know, nor can we propose any other solution than that startling request: let's have a little less respect and a little more intellecual exercise. With a new semester facing us, we have a perfect chance for a fresh start. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ... Bible Study Group _ Bookstore Lounge, Today, Noon.

The object: an uprooted parking meter. The meter was intact, with a,bout t en pounds of concrete still affixed to the base. It was presumably returned to the City, as it was no longer in evidence by mid-morning. The Observer is curious as to what explanation was given to the City officials. Who got the blame? WE WERE OBSERVED A scheduled visit by the "Feature Writing" class of night school last Tuesday didn't pan out. The class arrived; the instructor, Mr. John C. Bush, didn't. Members of the class began arriving at the Beacon office about 8 p.m., •but by 8 :30 Mr. Bush still had not arrived, so the members of the class departed. Mr. Bush's absence may have been due to what is termed "inclement weather," specifically snow and ice, making hazardous driving conditions.

WHIPCRACKER GETS GIFT Richard Myers, whose marriage announcement appeared in last week's Beacon, was given a wedding present last Tuesday night by members of the Beacon staff. The present was a bottle of imported champagne. Dick's only comment, beside a thank you, was " ... everything we got so far is my wife's : her iron, her toaster, etc. Now I've got something for myself." Even so, the Observer f eels sure that the champagne will be shared by the missus.

All-Star Squad Bernie Radecki, senior co-captain of the basketball team is this week's Beacon "Athlete." Radecki has been an outstanding performer for Coach Eddie Davis this season and has earned the Beacon award for the second time in less than a month. He was "Athlete of the Week" on December 18, 1959. Radecki wa9 chosen for his sensational playing in the Moravian and Dickinson games. Against Moravian he tallied 26 points to lead a.JI Wilkes scorers. 20 of those tallies came in the first half as he kept the Colonels in the ball game. All this was accomplished even though the hard-driving forward was suffering from intestinal flu that finally caught up with him in the second half. Most of Radecki's baskets came on long jump shots from beyond the foul circle and he drew the applause of the Moravian fans as he continually poured the •b all through the hoop. He again proved to be the big man in the Wilkes attack against Dickinson as he scored 22 points to pace the Colonels. Once more the long jump shot stood out as the big factor in the Wilkes victory. Radecki was also top rebounder for the Colonels in both contests, often outjumping men who towered over him. For his fine work in both games Radecki was named to last week's first team on the ECAC All-Star squad for small colleges. This is the highest honor that a college Bernie Radecki basketball player can receive in east coast competition. The allsta.r team is chosen each week by a board of ECAC officials on the basis of a player's performance over the span of games played during the week. 1.-M.

Least year Hofstra won the contest played at Wilkes, 73-70. The Colonels hope to continue their winning ways following an impressive win over Dickinson last Saturday, 102-81. The victory broke a four game losing streak and evened the team's record at 4-4. Bernie Radecki led the Wilkes scorers against Dickinson as he tallied 22 points. He was followed closely by George Gacha who hit for 21. Hofstra will ,g o into tomorrow's game with an 11-1 record. The Dutchmen have beaten such teams as Army, LIU, Loyola, Delaware, Upsala, and Albright. They were also the winner of their own Long Island Invitational Tournament as they won over Adelphi, Rutgers, and Lehigh. The lone Hofstra loss was to Wagner, 50-48. Wilkes will have to stop the Dutchmen's two top scorers if they expect to win. Ted Jackson, a junior, cra,cked the starting lineup last year as a sophomore and led the team in scoring. He is a big threat again this season. The other man to watch is guard Steve Dunn another starter as a sophomore last year. He finished second to Jackson in scoring. The ·Colonels continue to play through final examinations. On January 23 they journey to Oneonta, N .Y., to meet the Hartwick College Warriors. The Warriors are usually a hard team to beat on their home court and a,J. ways give the Colonels a rough time. They will depend on their captain, Barry Lewis, senior forward from Carbondale, Pa., to do most of their heavy work, in the scoring column and off the backboards. Wilkes beat the Warriors at home last year, 92-79. The Scranton Royals will furnish the opposition on January 27, at Scranton. This will be the first of two meetings between the teams. Scranton returns to the Wilkes gym on February 3. Scranton is off to a slow start this year after enjoying several good seasons. They lost their first five games and were beaten by Moravian College this week, 104-89. The Royals biggest threat is Captain Bobby Meckwood, senior guard from Scranton. Meckwood was last year's most valuable player for the Royals and has been their top scorer this season. Scranton · beat Wilkes last campaign, 82-69. Saturday, January 30, the Colonels again play on the road when they go to Trenton, N .J. to face Rider College. The Broncs have come up with another topnotch team and have beaten some of the better schools in South Jersey. Last year they defeated the Colonels, 7763. After their most extensive road trip of the season, the team returns to the friendly confines of the Wilkes :gym' on Monday, February 1 to meet a strong Laf111yette organization.

Farley was the recipient of the Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Chili Award for Outstanding Community Service. The Award was presented to Dr. Farley by Mr. Benjamin Badman, Jr., ~he immediate past president of the Kiwanis, at the service club's annual Ladies Night program which was held last Thursday at the Hotel Sterling.

Other important items on the agenda were the bake sale held Saturday at Pomeroy's and the bake sale to be held March 15 at the Gas Company, North Main Street. Claire Handler, chairman of SaJturday's bake sale reported that it was a financial success. A note of thanks was extended to the Women of Wilkes, who graciously aided in the project, and to the manager of Pomeroy's. Since funds are still needed to replenish the club treasury another bake sale will ,b e held March 15 at the Gas Company. Jane Neddoff, chairman of the affair, announced that cooperation from all members will be needed to make this affair a success. Since the baked goods will be concocted at the Company, preparation will be required in measuring ingredients, baking and selling the cookies. Although TDR enrollment figures include a large percentage of Wilkes coeds, attendance at monthly meetings is poor.

The Altoona meeting, in addition to settling the issue of the 1961 convention site, has been called to honor the State's ten "Outstanding Young Men." Accompanying the Wilkes representatives will be local Jaycee executives Hugh Carr, George Russett, Len Mulcahy, Al Alberts and Bill Zdancewicz. They also will have in their possession materials publicizing the city and the valley. Campaigning for the securing of the convention will be taking place all day today and tomorrow. Pressing hard for their cities will be delegates from Pittsburgh, Scranton and Reading. Early indications are that the real competition to Wilkes-Barre will come from Scranton and! Pittsburgh. When the last convention was held at Scranton, delegates report that they had the time of their lives.

While we realize that such recommendations are not binding upon next year's governing body, we feel that sober thought between now and then may reveal to the opponents of the measure that the demise of the Carnival has been a long time coming. Each year the behavior of just a few succeeds in creating animosity where only good will should exist. The College has taken 27 years to build up that good will; it is inexcusable to allow it to be destroyed in one day. Further, it is regrettable that the trite cliche that "it only takes one rotten apple" must be resurrected, but this excuse can no longer be considered valid. We know that the inconsiderae ones may be few in number, but the outsider only sees one thing - disorderly conduct. No line is drawn between individual and group; what one does is considered to be a reflection on the whole. Next year's governors would do well to take this recommendation under advisement and give it most careful consideration before taking action. More is at stake than a good time. English, German Cultures Stressed Al British, Austrian Summer Schools Four British and two Austrian summer schools are offering American students six weeks of liberal arts study this July and August. Applications may be obtained by writing to: Institute of International Education 1 East 67th Street New York 21, New York Applications to the British Summer School programs must be received before March 1 for scholarships, and March 31 for admission applications. Austrian scholarship requests must be returned by March 1, admission applicaitons by May 1. British Program Under the British University Summer Schools program, students can apply for study at one of four schools, each concentrating on a particular subject and period. At Stratford-on-Avon the subject will ·be Elizabethan drama; at the University of London the course will be the study of English literature, art and music of the 17th and 18th centuries using materials preserved in London's buildings, galleries and records; at Oxford the subject will be English history, literature and the arts from 1870 to the present. The theme of the Edinburgh School will be the political and economic history, philosophy and literature of Britan from 1559 to 1789. Although the courses are designed for graduate students, undergraduates in their last two years at a university will be considered. The Summer School fees, including full room, board and tuition, range between L8O-L90 (approximately $245-254). A few scholarships which partially cover univer- sity fees of well-qualified undergraduate students and a few full scholarships to graduate students are available. Austrian Program Both Austrian summer schools include in their programs the opportunity to attend performances at Salz,b urg's famed music festival. The Salzburg Summer School, sponsored by the Austro-American Society, emphasizes German language study, but courses in art and music and on foreign policy are taught in English. Also included, in addition to attendance at the music festival, are a variety of conducted tours of Salzburg. The fee for the entire program is $190, with an optional three-day trip to Vienna costing $25. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 40, and must have completed at least one year of college wo1°k. A few full scholarships are available. The university of Vienna, offering summer courses at its St. Wolfgang Campus near Salzburg, combines study with outdoor Ii.re at a mountain lake. Its aim is to enable .l!;nglish-speaking students to become acquainted with Austrian educational arid social values. Courses being offered include German language, law and political science, education, arts and history. Students who have completed at least two years of college are eligible .to apply for either a three or sixweek program. The fee for the full six-week program, including tuition, maintenance, tours and excursions, and attendance at the Salzburg Festival is $250, with an optional four-day trip to Vienna costing $30. A few scholarships covering partial or full fees are available to six-week students. WHAT . . . WHERE . . . WHEN ... Bible Study Group - Bookstore Lounge, Today, Noon.

Finnegan Memorial Fellowship Fund Awards. The Fund has been founded by the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee in honor of James A. Finnegan, a prominent figure in state and national politics who died in 1958. The winner or winners of the competition will serve a six weeks internship in a suitable government or political office during the period from June to December of 1960. The exact dates will be mutually agreed upon by the awardee and the Trustees of the Fund. During his internship the winner will receive a weekly stipend of one hundred dollars. Any Pennsylvania student enrolled in any accredited college or university or any non-resident student enrolled in any accredited Pennsylvania college or university who is interested in pursuing a political or government career is eligible to enter. Those interested may fill out an application. The awards will be based on academic background, active pa.rticipation in extracurricular a c t i v i ti e s and demonstrated aptitude for a career in government or politics. The decision of the judges will be final. The last day for filing an application will be March 1, 1960. Application forms may be obtained by writing to: James A. Finnegan Memorial Fellowship Fund 510 North Third Street Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club has offered to sponsor Cue 'n' Curtain if they will perform a musical at the Irem Temple. The offer was taken to a vote by members of the club who voted, with one exception, unanimously to accept the offer. Cue 'n' Curtain has submitted the offer to the administration for approval. At a later meeting, however, a compromise appeared to solve the question of having another musical. It was finally decided that the dramatists would make the attempt ... but not until September. The plan seems to be that casting will be done at the end of the Spring semester and that rehearsals will go through the Summer, possibly at one of the Pocono Mountain summer stock theaters, where profess.ionals abound and much practical experience can be gained. The Observer hopes that the financial problems to cast members will be overcome easily. Otherwise, it looks like an excellent idea. Collegians Present Concert February 15 At First Presbyterian by Gloria Zaludek The Collegians will present two full concerts - one on February 15 at the First Presbyterian Church, the other on February 24 at the First Reformed Church of WilkesBarre. They will also perform at Exeter High School on Lincoln's Birthday, and on Friday evening, February 19, will entertain at the Westmoreland Club for the Peabody Award Dinner of the Wilkes-Barre AdvertisingClub. At the present, members of the male chorus are rehearsing selections from "Oklahoma," and Bali Hai from "South Pacific," which they will present at their assembly program on March 15. The program will open with "Gloria in Excelsis" from Mozart's twelfth Mass. One feature of the assembly will be the introduction of the student who will become the conductor of the Collegians for the next two years. Another innovation will be the use of two pianos, which will be played simultaneously by accompanists Tom Hrynkiw and Walter Umla. While touring southern New York state on April 1, the Collegians will sing in the Oxford, Norwich, and Greene High Schools. The male chorus, combined with the Women's Chorus, will enter the annual Eistedfodd competition in Edwardsville on March 12. They will compete against other outstanding local choruses. This year the choral group has selected "Glory of the Lord" from Handel's "The Messiah." Last year the combined groups won accolades for their first prize performance. By early spring, the Collegians, under the direction of Bill Peters, plan to make a recording which will be sold on campus. The songs to be recorded will be chosen from their standard repertoire. Campus Observer C'n'C MUSICAL ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR The Observer wasn't alone in noticing a glaring misfortune in the progress of final exams. Over a hundred bitterly disappointed students had to leave the gym when their instructor failed to show up with their exam. It seems that the "absent-minded professor" stereotype still exists, for the prof got his calendar mixed up, thinking he had the exam on Wednesday. While at first blush this would seem to be a huge faux pas, later reflection seems to have accepted the incident as just another one of those things. The Observer extends his deepest sympathy to those poor people who spent the whole night cramming for the final that never was. CARNIVAL A "SMASHING" SUCCESS Did you observe the incident at Pocono Mountain Inn during the recent Winter Carnival? One of the students, anti-rock 'n' roll, no doubt, managed somehow to get his fist through the glass of the jukebox. Could it have been an accident? Was it done in anger? Or did old John Barleycorn have some influence on his actions? At any rate, it's a good way to insure having the "No Vacancy" sign hung out whenever Wilkes is in town again. THE BOSS'S NEIGHBORS Beacon boss Dick Myers and his bride of one month have new neighbors since John Wozniak and Grace Schneider got married last Thursday and moved in next door. John was formerly dorm proctor at Warner Hall, Grace a resident of Sterling Hall. May all their problems be as simple. The Observer hopes they both like cats, as the Editor has an animal in his apartment that thinks it is the landlord of that property.

Coach John Reese's matmen registered five falls while overpowering the game, but outclassed Warriors. Brooke Yeager started the Colonels on the victory path by pinning Gleason in 8:25. Brooke was ahead 10-4 when he got the Stroudsburg wrestler in a "cradle" hold to score five points for the Blue and Gold matmen. Some unorthodox leg wrestling was the feature of the 130-lb. class when Dick Stauffer registred an 8-2 decision over Woods. The home team registered its lone victory of the day when Al Deibler scored a fall in 8 :50 over Girard Senick. Senick suffered a leg injury during the bout and couldn't overcome the physical handicap. Mike Armstrong's 3-0 victory over Jones was one of the outstanding bouts of the match. Mike reversed Jones in the third period and rode him to score the victory. The 157-lb. class bout found Ted Toluba back in top form as he pinned Zarbatany in 7 minutes. The effects of the shoulder injury which has slowed down Ted seem to be past and the Colonel grappler is ready for heavy action. The closest bout found Glen Rittenhouse emerging victorious over Lawrence. The big 167-lb. gridder used two escapes and a takedown to register a 4-3 win. Marv Antinnes continued the Colonel romp by making short order of "Bucko" Williams. Marv used a half-nelson to register a fall in 1 :04. Bob Sislian closed the match with a very imp.ressive 8:40 fall over Wilgard. The Colonel heavyweight was leading at the time of the fall, 4-1. Last week-end the Colonel grapplers traveled to West Point where they engaged the Plebes and Cadet J.V.'s in exhibition matches. Although no results were kept, the Colonels scored more victories over the Cadets than they had reverses. Marv Antinnes again shone for the Colonels. This week-end the matmen will again take the exhibition trail when they engage the U. of Pennsylvania's grapplers in an exhibition match at Philadelphia. A long time between matches made these exhibitions a "must" as the Colonels get ready to defend their winning skein against a tough Lycoming College squad. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Bernie Kosch Scores Heavily, Plays Big Role in Upset Win by John Nork Towering 6 ft. - 6 in., 210-lb. Bernie Kosch receives this week's Athl:te Awar~ for _his sparkling performances in the past week. Sconng 5 l pomts m three games, Kosch turned in some of his best performances of his college career. Normally an average performer, Kosch suddenly burst forth with a surge of shooting accuracy, enabling him to score 22 points against Scranton, 20 points against Bernie Kosch Rider, and nine points against Lafayette. Although defeat was in the making for Wilkes against Scranton Kosch drove on, keeping the team'~ morale high by never giving up. An interesting point concerning this game is that he started the evening on the bench. Called in to do a job, he <lid it to the best of his ability. Rider College saw Kosch combine shooting accuracy with good board action as he hit the net for 20 points, 11 of this total coming in the first half. He also was responsible for a good number of rebounds that evening. Although his game against Lafayette was not as rewarding as his previous two, scorewise, he continued his successful feats as an all-around player. Kosch, a mild-mannered senior political science major from Nanticoke, has intentions of attending gr a d u ate school after leaving Wilkes. He shows signs of repeating again and again his scintillating performances on the court as the season progresses and should be an important factor in Coach Eddie Davis' future plans.

The 4-0 win in the first night of action in the second half gave the Smashers a first place slot while pushing the mighty Pinbusters into the cellar. The Smashers had spent most of the first half in last place, while the Pinbusters enjoyed the league lead most of the season. In other action, Dick Myers led ,t he Gutterdusters to a 3-1 win over the Kingpins with 209-550. Adam Gajewski was high man for the losers on 202-552. Also 3-1 winners, the Blitzkriegs tied for second place with the Gutterdusters as Fred Jacoby was top man in the win with 194-515. Jerry Chisarick led the Flatballs on 190522. Taking over the lead, the Smashers had a balanced attack, with all five men in the high 400's. Besides Brooks' 186-499 and Sapiego's 197493, Bernie Radecki contributed 471, Mark Adelson 463, and Andy Benoska 459, including a game of 190. Emil Petrasek, 193-533, and Bob Barovich, 175-515, were top men for the Pinbusters, who start the second half in an unaccustomed last place spot. Half Ends April 8 The second half will end on April 8. Whichever team is then in first place will meet the Pinbusters for the championship. of the Coed Lea,gue. The loser in the postseason playoff will receive second place trophies. Should the Pinbusters repeat in first place, then the second place team for the second half will meet the Gutterdusters for the runnerup trophies. Should the Pinbusters and Gutterdusters finish one-two again, each will receive the proper trophies and no playoff will be necessary. The league tentatively plans a handicap tournament for the final two or three weeks of the year.

In a comparison of the only common foe that the schools have faced, Wilkes lost to Philadelphia Textile by 10 points while Rutgers was beaten by the same team by 4 points. The Pioneers will be without their top scorer of .the past few seasons, Joe Bretschneider, who rewrote the record books in his stint at the South Jersey college. Bretschneider graduated last June. Coach Albert Carino will present a team composed of three upperclassmen and a scattering of underclassmen in important roles. Leading the Pioneers will be senior cocaptains Frank Del Rossi and Fred Setzler with Gar Miller giving the only other upperclassman support. The first five is rounded out by two juniors, 6'-3" Fran Dick and 5'-11" guard Jerry McCullough, both of whom saw plenty of action last year as sophomores.

Another defeat came at the hands of Hartwick, 85-59, with the Scranton Royals handing them the third loss last Wednesday, 96-87.

Francis Riofski is new to debating this year. He took part in the Temple Novice Tournament with Brent O'Connell. Debating on the question of whether Congress should have power to reverse Supreme Court decisions, Riofski and O'Connel posted a 4-0 record. The Johns Hopkins Tournament attracts some of the nation's top debating teams. Wilkes teams have compiled a very impressive record in ,this event and have one of the highest averages of all the teams which have competed. In 1955 Wilkes won the tournament hy defeating Princeton in the final round. That year Wilkes was unbeaten and had seven wins. In 1954, 1956, and 1957, Wilkes debaters placed third with 5-1 records each time. This year the team of Feinstein and Riofski will debate six rounds, three affirmative and three negative. After the second round competition gets rougher because winners are ,p itted against winners and losers against losers. Following this event the Wilkes debaters will participate in a tournament sponsored by King's College. This is a four-man tournament and Wilkes will be represented by Barry O'Connell, Brent O'Connell, Jerry Krasa, and Francis Riofski. This will take place next Saturday. John Hotson, Mrs. Herbert Bernstein, and Mrs. Margaret Ba~ber, Chapman housemother. Mrs. Paul Werner is this year's president of ,t he organization. Other officers are Mrs. James Langdon, vice-president; Mrs. Sheldon Curtis, treasurer; and Mrs. James Parmenter, secretary. Future plans for the Faculty Women include a covered dish supper February 27, and a card party March 18. Both of these affairs will take place in the college Commons. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - · •~ Manuscript to Present Films; Tickets Available To Students, Faculty by Cynthia Hagley Plans for film showings have reached the final stage, Kurl Roberts, chairman of the Manuscript Film Society, announced before the end of last semester. The dates for the films have al.so been set up by the executive council of the Manuscript Association. The films for this season's showing have been selected for their educational and entertaining aspects. Dates for the films are February 19, March 3, March 18, and April 8. The particular film to be shown on a certain date will be announced in the Beacon the week previous and posted on all bulletin boards. Birth of A Nation is a silent film made in the early twenties. It is an epic in film-making and an essential part in all .p rograms designed to demonstrate the history of .t he film industry. The camera and story techniques are far in advance of other films made at the time. Three other films to be shown are: Death of a Salesman, from the Broadway hit by Arthur Miller with Frederic March in the leading role; Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Jose Ferrer and based on the drama by Edmond Rostand; and finally, The Wild One, a film that started Marlon Brando on the road to film success. Season tickets are priced at $2.00 and can be purchased from any member of the film society. At some future time, a ticket sale will be held in the cafeteria. Nesbitt Nurses Hold Dance, Issue Invitation to Wilkes Mr. Chapline, in his second year as a member of the faculty, has prepared a varied four-part program. Firat, he will play a series of four solos for the lute. This music daites back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries when the lute enjoyed its greatest popularity before the invention of the harpsichord. The lute is similar to a guitar in design and was aotually a forerunner of the latter instrument. Mr. Chapline plays a bass lute consisting of eighteen strings. For the second part of the program, Mr. Chapline will sing four love songs, each in a different language, English, Italian, French and German. The third part will include five vocal selections based on the contemporary writings of Fletcher and Hausmann which were put to music. In the last part of the program, Mr. Chapline will present five ballads native to the Hebrides Islands, where he lived for six months. This mu,sic will be sung in the traditional Gaelic and old English language. Mr. Cha-p line is a native of Philadelphia. His musical background includes a degree from the Juilliard School of Music and piano study with Leo Ornstein of Philadelphia. Mr. Ornstein was a former instructor of Mrs. Eleanor Farley. Mr. Chapline also spent two yea11s of study in Europe upon receiving a fellowship from the Fulbright Foundation. He presented concerts in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, and other countries of northern and eastern Europe. He took part in the recent television series, "Omnibus," when he .p articipated in a program with Leonard Bernstein, impressario and conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Mr. Chapline is also pictured with a singing group in Mr. Bernstein's recently published book, "The Sound of Music." In addition to his teaching duties, Mr. Chapline directs the Madrigal Singers and the Mixed Chorus. He is soloist at the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre. He is an active member of the English Country Dance and Folk Song Society, and the Country Dance Society of America. Sunday's program is as follows : Lute Solos .. Dalzo Pavava alla Ferraese ...

Evaluation Team Visits School,. Random Interviews of Students Wilkes College faculty and students will act as hosts to an evaluation ,t eam from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools during the first three days of next week. The purpose of the program is to secure a constructive and objective picture of the College and to seek to discover ways and means by which the total effectiveness of the institution can be improved. The visit is the logical climax to a year and one half of effort on the part of the faculty, alumni, and students to try to asses-s the worth of the College and to discover both its strong and weak points. Our efforts will now be supplemented and strengthened by the observations and recommendations of representatives from other colleges and universities.

These educators will be here to take an objective look at the College, its policies, activities, personnel, and other factors which total up to the concept o(a college. Not a "final exam" or any other type of competition for which a relative grade is awarded, this visit will point out the areas where improvement is needed and will reveal other areas where this institution has achieved notable standing. When the evaluators approach students, they will question them about normal, routine affairs and they should be answered in a frank, but objectively truthful manner. This is not an opportunity to complain needlessly about fancied injustices, but a good chance for serious-minded students to help a group of professional educators arrive at opinions which may well turn out to be beneficial to Wilkes. Number 50,000 A milestone of sorts was reached recently in the College library when volume number 50,000 was recorded. Its appearance was unobstrusive enough as Mrs. Thom, one of the library assistants, slipped the book in under Mr. Ermel's eyes. Under the pretense that something was amiss with the machine which records each new acquisition, she was able to secure Mr. Ermel's aid. When he had stamped ,t he volume, his face lit up as he saw the string of zeroes marking the occasion. No special celebration occured, the workers just went on about their duties. Approximately 70 books each week are processed in this manner, we are pleased to see this growth. Your Yearbook in Difficulty Our sister publication, the Amnicola, is having its troubles this year. Actually, they have only one serious problem money. Their method of overcoming this deficit is simple and effective. They hope tha,t by the sale of "booster" or patron advertising, they will be able to give you what you would like to see, the best yearbook in the history of Wilkes. It's not impossible, nor is the help of ,t he staff seeks unreasonable. For one dollar, the patron's name is listed in the patron section. Special five dollar patron ads will also be taken. Organizations are asked to take ads as a sort of "thank you" for their places in the yearbook. This is not to be construed as "payola" to the Amnicola. Rather, it should be seen as a good chance for campus groups to come ,t o the aid of another; especially one whose finished product is a lasting memento of college days. The School Spirit Committee is taking active part in soliciting these ads. Your ad will be taken by Doris Gademan or Jim Stephens, or by any member of the committee. Anniversary Wishes The unofficial School of Journalism for our Beacon staff is located in the heart of town, at Schmidt's Printery. The proprietor of the establishment, Stanley E. "Pop" Schmidt, has spent over a half-century in the printing business. For a good many years, he and his two sons, Leo and Ed, have nursed the Beacon along. Next week, "Pop" will enjoy a double celebration when he marks his 48th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day, February 14, and his 70th birthday anniversary two days later. The entire staff of the Beacon joins in wishing "Pop" and his wife many more happy years as well as expressing our sincere and grateful thanks for a practical education. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ...

There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Khrushchev is trying to bluff Ameri ca and the fr ee world into co-existence with the threat of nuclear war. Recentl y the Soviet head denounced the stand taken by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer on coexistence, German unification, and West German nuclea.r r e-armament. Adenauer was smeared because he is the number one en emy of the Communists and clea.r ly sees the issues facin g \.Vest ern Germany and the free world today. The Communists attempted to create a crisis situation by plac.ing extreme pressure upon the West to r ecognize the East German governm ent and to unify Germany under quasi-Soviet t erm s. To this end, the Communist underground inspired a,n ti-S emitic demonstrations in several West German cities . The whole strategy was to arouse resentment against Adenauer and his gover nment, thereby threatening stabilit y both within and outside of Western Germany. More re cently, Khru shchev called Aden:1uer "another Hitler," an aggressor a nd a foe of pea ceful co-existence . Khru shchev went on to say tha t the Chan cellor was a tyrant and a man who, if un chec,ked, will become another dictator just like Hitler . Khrushchev fails to see that the Communist drive for power is more t yranni cal and di ctatorial than the worst shades of Hitler's era. It is no accid ent that the Communist Party has made Adenauer t he ta r get of their attack, nor is it an accident that 200,000 magazines and newspapers are distributed three times a month in W estern German y by the Soviet Embassy. Th e Central Intelligence Agency reported that the East German government spends close to twenty million dollars per year on Communis,t propaganda. This divisive propa ganda is sent to West Germany in the form of magazines, newspapers, radio and t elevision broadcasts. East German tel evision stations have "adopted" the same channel as the West German stations so that viewers in the West receive East German transmissions. By 1964, forty-four more transmitters will be built to advance the range of the East German broadcasts. The Communists know they have a free hand because they jam our broadcasts while we allow their programs to pass freely to the West. Adenauer is the bulwark that Communists are striving to destroy. He had ideological clarity which is the r eal force against the s,p read of Communist ideals. Chancellor Adenauer said in the New York Journal-American recently: "Moral Re-Armament has given most valuable stimulation to uniting Europe. Unless this work (MRA) is carried forward, peace in the world cannot be maintained. MRA has become a household word in .post-war Germany." Chancellor Konrad Adenauer needs the support of the United States and the free world - the defense of Western Europe is at stake. For the Communists have an ideological commitment - world domination . Unfortunately the West is still groping for one. If you do not believe me you might heed the words of Admiral Seaton and Admiral Standley, former Chief of Naval Operations and the United States Ambassador to Moscow: "The choice for America is Moral R-Armament of Communism." �Friday, February 12, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Lockerroom Chatter by RAY Y ANCHUS, Sports Editor Wilkes College basketball fans a re seeing an unprecedented record being established this season on the local hardwoods. For the first time in the annals of Wilkes basketball there will be two players finishing t he season and th eir career s with more than 1 000 in t h eir kitties. Guard George Gacha, an outstanding performer for th e Colonels for four years, became the third player to turn th e trick when h e registered his 1,000 point in th e Dickinso n game last month. Gacha now stands at a total of 1163 tallies for his career. He s tarted the season with 881 in the till a nd has scored 282 t o ela t e in t he 1959-60 campaign. The other player in line to join th e ranks of the record book makers is Bernie Radecki, 6' 2" forward from Ashl ey . Radecki has accumulated a total of 9817 points over his four-year stint on the cager squad, needing only 13 more to -p ut him into the sele~t group. Tomorrow night very well could be th e time when a new re cord is made at W-i lkes as the basketball team pla ys Elizabethtown. Rade ~ki has been put on the draft list of th e Eastern Professional Leagu e and ha.s received letters from several teams in the league, the last being from the Wilkes-Barre Barons who are claiming him as a territorial draft choice. By the ·way, the two other .p layers to score over a 1,000 points in their Wilkes careers were Len Batroney who holds th e all-tim e record with 1690 and George Morgan who turned the tri ck in three years to finish around the 1,100 mark. Basketball never knew better days at the college than the enthusiasm accorded the t eam by the local crowd during the las t two home games. During th e Lafayette game the entire gym actually rose as a body and scream ed wildly as the home team ti ed the mighty Leopards, 40-40. Ah, sweet music! Th en to prove that this outburst was not a fr eak occurence a throng of senior boys led by the one and only Dick Salus showed up at the S cranton game with bells and a big bass drum. The spirit of this group seemed to spread to the confines of the entire gym and th e place was throbbing throughout the evening . Who sa.id that spirit was dead at Wilkes? The persons most pleased with the add ed sp irit s hown in the past week, -i f you care to ask them, are th e playe rs themselves. Call it what you like - psychological eff ect, playing for the grandstand, or school spirit - but the team, or any team for that matter, seems to fun:tion better when they kno w that th e peopl e present are interested, trul y concerned with the final outcom e. Defeat at a time like this seems to han g a 1,000 tim es heavier a nd no one wishes to avoid this situation more than th e players or· participants who are the center of attraction . To th e victors belong the spoils, the teams want the spoils just as the fans do and the s-p oils come a lot Jaster and ea:!ier when there is cooperation. Remember that word - COO PE-RA TI-ON! It may hold th e key to the future sports at this college. Swimmers, Matmen, Cagers See Action at Home Saturday Mermen Meet MSC; Suffer Loss at ESSC, Protest Lycoming 'Win' by Donald B. Hancock The swimming team begins a full day of sports activity for Wilkes tomorrow when they meet Millersvill e State Coll ege at 2 p.m. at the YMCA ,pool. Millersville sports an early season victory over Lycoming and as a result of the splashers' close match with the Warriors last Saturday th ere is an indi·cation of s!tiff competition in tomorrow's dual. Last Wednesday the Wilkes swimming team lost its opening m eet of the season to an overpowering East Stroudsburg State College team by a score of 61 to 32 in the vicitors' pool. The rnermen's efforts to give Coach Pinkowski a victory in their first m eet under him were thwarted by th e stron g East Stroudsburg team. Carl "Ironman" Havira, the only t ripl e winner of the day, turned in the outstanding p erformance of the meet as he took first place in th e 200 yard in.clividual m edley, 200 yard butterfly, and the 200 yard br eaststroke events. Art Eckharit accounted for six .points as he captured second places in the 50 and the 100 yard freestyle events. Shovlin and Bender ha,uled in four points a s t hey took second and third places r espectiv ely in the 220 yard freesty le. Gerry Mohn aocounted for three additional i:; oints for W·i lkes as h e took second place in diving. Pat Shovlin took third in the 200 yard bac,kstroke and in the next event, t he 440 yard freest yle Bender took second to gain three more poi nts for Wilkes . Defeat Lycoming Saturday the Wilkes swimming team traveled to William sport and there defeated .th e Warriors of Lycoming College in a meet, th e r esults of which are being protested by Wilkes to th e Middle Atlantic Conference. The protest arose with the disqualification of both teams in the 400 yard freestyl e relay and the official's decision to have the event s,va-m again. The Colonels swam the event again a.nd lost it. However, a1:> far as 'Wilkes is concerned, it won the meet by a score of 44 to 39, prote&.ting the last relay. Again, "Hummer" Havira was the outstanding performer of the day as he hauled in fift een points through his efforts . Pat Shovlin and Art Eckhart a,ccounted for six points each; Gerry Mohn, five; Bender and Rolfe, four each; Hungartner, two; and Lesiuk and Donn, one point each.

The Lycoming Warriors com e to Wilkes with an unblemished record and an urge to "clump" the defending MAC champions. They are led by 137-l b. Harry Romig, outstanding wrestler in last year's MAC ,t ournament, who returns to action for tthe first time this season. Bob Pak, MAC champ at 147 lbs., is lost to the school for the remaining ,p art of the season because of academic diffi culties.

The victory put the Blitzkriegs into first place, and put the Smashers into a second place tie with the Gutterduster s. T he Pinbusters started .their road to revenge after suffering a humiliating clean sweep defeat a week ago. They took 3 points from the King.pins. Other a ction saw the Gutterclusters and Fla,.tballs in an ev,e n split, 2-2. The second half must have some added charm attached to it because there are so.me interesting scores being turned out. Bill Watkins is a fine example with his 224-551 for his victorious Blitzkriegs. Fred Jacoby, 192-522, was second high for his team. John Sapiego was high man for the losing Smashers with a 192-527. Aid in va,in was given by Mark Adelson, 168-449. The last place Kingpins saw their duo from Nanticoke, Adam Gajewski and Jerry Kul esa, roll a 194482, 179-449, respectively.

BASKETBALL CIIXXIIIIIIXIXXXillliiil by Thomas Evans Action reached a fever pitch this W<'-ek in intramural basketball as the Rowdies strengthened their hold on the top spot in the National League, while the American loop was thrown into a practical fourway tie by the defeat of Gore Hall. A good team effort led the Kookies to an upset win over Gore Hall, 54-42.

The members of the Wilkes squad were: affirmative: Barry O'Connell and Jerry Krasa; negative, Brent and Francis Riofski. This team is, in reality, a novice team, and this was their first varsity debate. The team compiled a 6-4 record, and placed eighth in a field of 33 teams. The affirmative team emerged victorious over NYU, St. John's, and Brooklyn College, and lost to Villanova and Georgetown. The negative team beat NYTU, St. John's, and Marywood, and succumbed to Dartmouth and Scranton University. The trophy is donated annually by Tom Flynn in memory of. Vincent D.

The three phases include a fundraising campaign for equipment and facilities to train students in a graduate program of chemistry and physics. This is in connection with RCA's movement into the Valley. The second phase is that of an advanced scholarship program based on the achievements that past Wilkes graduates have obtained through this financial aid. The final phase will be to raise money in order to take advantage of present opportunities to acquire more property for athletic facilities.

They are also planning to hold an Engineers' Day in cooperation with King's College. "Death of a Salesman", First 'Manuscript' Film, Presented Tonight by Cynthia Hagley Death of a Salesman, starring Frederic March, will be presented this evening in Stark 116 at 7 :30. For all those who have not yet purchased their season tickets, admission to this film will cost 60 cents. During intermission at the film s h o w i n g refreshments will be served without charge. The film society has had a good response to its ticket sale this semester. If the total program proves successful, there is a possibility that it could be a fall and spring semester project. Deadline Moved Up The Manuscript executive board has announced that the deadline for manuscripts ito be submitted to the literary magazine is now February 28. All college students . are encouraged to submit original literary, art, and music works. They may also submit any term papers or themes which were used in class rwor,k provided these themes were graded above average by their professors. The faculty members are urged to recommend submission of any papers which they have seen in the course of the last semester, and which they think would be of interest to the whole student body. Contributions to the Manuscript do not exclude this type of factual writing. �Friday, February 19, 1960 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 2 EDITORIALS - Lilerary Sociely We are accustomed to criticism each week when our edition Elecls Van Dyke Praise for a Change reaches our public. Sometimes scathing, frequently chiding, often helpful, these criticisms point out to us our weaknesses and Great Books from History Subject of Discussion Groups aid us in trying to improve our newspaper. . However, last week's issue, despite a glaring typographical error in the headline of the main story, brought praise for a change, and from an unexpected source. Remarking on our page one stories on our page one stories on King's and Misericordia activities, the Times-Leader Evening News, on Monday, said in an editorial: In promoting two major activities of Misericordia and King's, the official publication of Wilkes demonstrated the good relations that exist among the three higher institu lions of learning. The development is as reassuring as it is stimulating. This is not to imply a lack of school spiriL There is plenty of that and room for team work as well, as there is no conflict between friendly rivalry and neighborliness. Each has its place. We are. pleased that the editorial writer of the local newspaper has understood our intentions so clearly. We have always felt that the insane and childish refusal to recognize the existence of neighboring colleges is folly. Most of the resentment which formerly existed, especially between Wilkes and King's, stemmed from half-remembered, fancied injuries dating back to the days of athletic competition between the two. Relations with College Misericordia have always been cordial, including the athletic relationships between the Back Mountain College and our own girls' basketball squad. We have often felt that a resumption of athletic competition between King's and Wilkes would be desirable, enjoyable, reasonably peacable, and even profitable. The debate teams compete, the Student Governments of both Colleges enjoy joint meetings and discussion groups, the Chemical Societies have particularly gra~g c0-0peration, and there is talk of the newly formed, unofficial and unaided bowling team meeting King's bowlers in match game competition. All these, ,v iewed in retrospect, may be seen as "ice-breaking" co-operation in an inevitable direction towards resumption of athletic competition. Unlikely? Perhaps, but the mind fairly reels at the possibilities of a King's-Wilkes football game for a Homecoming weekend for either or both colleges. We will continue to cherish this dream. If we can provide more evidence of friendly relations through our journalistic efforts, in addition to continuing friendly contacts in other areas, we will be quick t9 emphasize that evidence and make it public. by Steve Cooney Ned Va,n Dyke, freshman English major from the Bronx, New Y o:r.k, was elected ,p resident of the newly formed Wilkes College Literary Society at the society's organization meeting held recently in Weiss Hall. This new organization is composed of various members of the student body who are interested in reading some of the greatest books ever written. With the guidance of Dr. Davies, the club moderator, the society will formulate a list of books which its members wish to read. This list will be arranged in a chronological order beginning with the writings of Horner. Most of the books will be selected from the St. John's College "List of 100 of the Greatest Books." Society's Officers Elected to the office of vice-president at this organization meeting was Steve Schwa:r.tz. Schwartz and Van Dyke were responsible for the original formation of the organization. Meetings will be held every Sunday afternoon at 2 p.rn. in various dormitory lounges with the advisor, Dr. Davies, acting as chairman. A few other members of the Philosophy and English departments have volunteered to aid in the discussions each week, and the club has issued an open invitation to all interested faculty members to attend these discussions when ever they desire so.

There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts LEST WE FORGET A global answer is being sought to a global problem. Recently in Kerala, India a fierce election battle took place between the Communists and the non~Cornrnunists for government control. The non-Communist fa,ction won w.ith Ma.nnath Padmanabhan elected to head the Kerala government. Mannath Padmanabhan, the man most responsible for the triumph of the democratic forces over the Communists in the South India state of Kerala, said after his election to office, "The ideas of Moral ReArmament inspi.red the victory." He urgently called for the sending to Kerala of an MRA ideological force to consolidate the victory. The 83-year old leader of the united front said in a cable to Dr. Frank Buchman, initiator of the Moral Re-Armament: "We thank God for the democratic victory, yet the results indicate the Communist fortresses have not been pierced through. Ideological clarity alone can rout the canker. We are grateful for the ideas of Moral ReArmament which inspired us to victory. MRA is needed now more than ever to answer Communism completely by demonstrating a superior ideology available to all and winning men to God-inspired democracy." By popular vote last week the people of Kerala, the former Communist-ruled state, rejected Communism and put in power a united front of democratic parties. Five months ago, after the 28-month old Communist government was removed from office by President Prasad of India, Padmanabhan, who had headed the liberation movement, brought leaders of the bitterly divided relgious and political factions to the MRA conference in Switzerland. There they found the unity and the ideological task force to Japan for an all-Japan tour. Kishi, you recall, signed a mutual defense pact with the United States and has ;received much opposition for this political-economic move. The Prime Minister would like to solidify his position against subversive elements by inviting an MRA task force to Japan at this time. Kerala and Japan will determine whether Communism advances in highly literate and religious states or falls by the wayside as an outdated ideology as it has for the present in each of these states.

Though drops are essential in good eye care, few people understand their value and benefits. Yet drops are often .the key to the prevention of blindness and even to the saving of the eye itself. Contrary to popular opinion, they do not cause any marked discomfort. This information comes from a prominent ophthalmologist (eye physician), Dr. William T. Hunt, Jr., Philadelphia, a member of the conservation of vision committee of The Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology. • Dr. Hunt advises people to see an eye physician once a year for an eye checkup, just as they see their family doctor or dentist regularly for medical or dental attention. This is because an eye physician can often tell whether trouble is brewing, at times through using different kinds of drops. For example, a trained eye physician can detect, during the examination of the eye-grounds, the beginning of inany common diseases - long before the illness is far enough advanced to show up elsewhere in the body. He does this simply by dropping medicine called a mydriatic into the eye. This enlarges the pupil and permits the doctor to look directly at the retina to see whether diabetes, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, or some kidney ailments may be present. The effect of the drops lasts only a few hours and causes little or no blu.r ring of vision. Other types of drops are used to prevent or treat infection, to Wilkes College Reversible Jackets See the new Quilted Corduroy Look Both with Wilkes Lettering 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

Sometimes the physician uses artificial tears as a wetting agent to give relief to people whose eyes are too dry. Since all drops are medicine, only a physician may use them or prescribe them for you to use. Sterility of eye drops is an important consideration. Drops are your friends. They won't hurt you. So be sure to see an eye physician to determine if you have any need for drops. Some of the symptoms might be inflammation, discharge, or persistent redness of the eye, blurred vision, halos about lights or pain in or about the eye. •Professional medical society of Pennsylvania eye, ear, nose and throat physicians.

Explains Policies I.C.G. to Attend Regional and Distant ·Conventions in Future by Steve Cooney The college chapter of the Intercollegiate Conference on Government is. making ,p reliminary plans for two conventions scheduled for the near futre. A regional convention will be held at Marywood College on March 6, to make final arrangements for the state nominating convention which will be in April. The state convention will be held in Harrisburg and this year will be geared to a mock presidential nominating assembly. Various chapters will support a candidate for the presidency. Caucuses and balloting will be employed just as in a political nominating convention, the only difference being that this will be a two-party convention. At the Marywood meeting the regional chapters will also run through a mock convention to get acquainted with the methods and various procedures. It is interesting to note that at the 1956 assembly Wilkes' delegation backed Adlai Stevenson who later won the Democratic nomination. The college group sent a telegram to Stevenson, and he later mentioned this fact, quite ha1ppily, at a political rally on Public Square. The I.C.G. club hopes to finance these convention trips by holding a candy sale for Easter. A self-ap-p ointed committee has drawn up a constitution and has submitted it to the Student Government for approval. Among the problems of the fledgling organization is the need for an advisor and ,a room in which to store equipment and hold meetings. The grourp also requires sufficient interest on the part of the student ,body. Necessity of having a radio operator's license is not a ,p rerequisite to membership in the club. 'Only an interest in radio is required. The club, when organized, plans to provide a number of services to students of the college, among which are the uniting of Wilkes with other colleges that have amateur readio stations, and the providing of free contact between the college and homes of dormitory students by means of both radio and telephone. Also included in the plans is the holding of classes in electronics and the theory and ,practice of code. Group Meets by Ralph Price . To Read!

The girls' basketball team won their first game in eight years! Eight years without a drink of water is a long time to be dry and the drink that came ,t o the scrappy bunch of Wilkes coeds will finally be entered on the record books. In checking around the college as to when the female set last did win a game, the trigger-sharp brains of the many professors were unable to come up with an answer. Mr. Reese, Director of Athletics, and Dean Ralston, former DA, could not remember when the girls had ever won a game. So there it is the first official basketball win in the history of Wilkes College in girls' intercollegiate competition. A salute is appropriate at ,t his time to the coach of the team, Miss Marita Zoolkowski, who is serving her first year as physical instructor of girls' hygiene and also her initial season as basketball mentor. Miss Zoolkowski has her charges hustling, hustling so much that they drive the varsity team off the hardwoods to hold practice sessions, and who knows with two game remaining on the schedule her coaching may lead to victories that will establish an unbeatable record at Wilkes. SHORT SHOTS Carl Havira improperly nicknamed the "Hummer", "fish" should be in there some place ...

Coaches Reese and Davis holding out for money as radio audience appeal increases. The Colonels made it four in a row and five in their last six games as they defeated Lycoming W ednesday, 70-61. It was the second win over the Warriors this season and raised the cagers' record to 9-9 with three games left to play. Wilkes dropped behind at the start of the game and didn't move ahead until five minutes left in the half. Wilkes led at halftime, 39-38. Lycoming pulled within two points of the Colonels at the 60-58 mark but 5 quick buckets iced the game for Wilkes. George Gacha led all scorers with 22 points on 11 field goals, 14 tallies coming in the first half. Bernie Radecki added 16 points and ,p ulled in 14 rebounds. Ron Roski chipped in with 15 markers, 9 in the first half. The basketball team enjoys a week's vacation as the men rest up for the final drive of the season starting with Drexel Institute of Technology on Wednesday. The game will be played in Philadelphia with starting time listed for 8 :30. The cagers have only two games left after the Drexel contest and play their last home game nex:t Saturday against East Stroudsburg. This will be the first meeting with the downstate team as the Colonels atld opponents in the Southern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference. The only other southern division team the cagers meet is Dickinson. Drexel has been in a nip and tuck battle for the southern division lead with Ursinus all season. They took over .the top rung last week as they registered three victories to move into first place with a 6-2 record in conference play. However, the Dragons were beaten in their last contest by Lebanon Valley, 74-64. Wilkes dropped a 77-73 game to Lebanon Valley early ,t his season. Bob Morgan, junior guard, leads the Dragons in scoring with an 18point average per game, while junior forward, Rich Hilmer, is hitting the nets for 14.2 per game. Saturday's Results On Saturday the cagers won their third game in a row as they Lewis Leads Keglers In Win Over Penn State; Meet Bloom Sunday Dan Lewis led the bowling team in a close, 41-pin win over the Penn State Center Wednesday night at Lispi Lanes. The win completed a sweep for Colonel sports as both wrestlers and cagers won earlier in the evening. The new squad's record is now three wins, one loss. The keglers will be after their fourth win on Sunday at 1, when they meet Bloomsburg once more. The match .._. •• _,_ _ _ _ ,....__.._, will be on alleys 7 and 8, Jimmy's Central Lanes.

The match was close all the way with F&M jumping off to a 3-0 lead on Cleon Cassel's decision over previously wibeaten Brooke Yeager. Wilkes then went ahead to stay on Dick Stauffer's pin in 4:26. I Brooke Yeager scored a 96-73 victory over Elizabethtown. The game was close at various times as Elizabethtown pulled to a 36-36 tie in the first half and then came within two points, 63-61, midway in the second half but Eddie Davis' charges put on the extra drive when it was needed and the game was soon out of the hands of the boys from Elizabethtown. Bernie Radecki paced the Wilkes scorers as he threw in 24 points, 17 coming in the first half as the senior forward hit long jump shots and registered 12 of the Colonels' first 15 tallies. Guard George Gacha scored 20 points to aid the Colonel cause with most of his goals corning on drive shots. Gacha backed up Radecki's first half assault with 14 points in the initial period. Center Ron Roski was the only other Wilkes player to hit in double figures. Roski scored 19 points and was a giant off the backboards. Girard Senick then took a 5-2 decision in the 137-lb. class. Captain Joe Morgan was shut out, 5-0, but Ted Toluba came back with a 10-2 win. Freshman Glenn Rittenhouse was beaten by F&M co-captain Skiip Taylor, 10-3. Marv Antinnes posted an 11-2 victory to put Wilkes ahead in the match, 14-9. Heavyweight Bob Sislian put the finishing touches to F&M as he ,b eat Cliff McClain, 2-0, to insure the Colonel victory. Moravian Tomorrow The next opponent for the Colonel grapplers will be the Moravian "Greyhounds" tomorrow at 4 in the college gym. The Moravian wrestlers come to Wilkes with an undefeated slate in eight starts. Their latest victim was Lebanon Valley whom they defeated, 24-8. The Colonels defeated the "Flying Dutchmen", 33-3, earlier this season. The Moravian squad will feature six undefeated wrestlers with Bill Rinker, a 130-lb. sophomore, as their biggest threat. Dave Bryant, Greyhound 177-pounder, comes to Wilkes-Barre with a 7-1 record including a victory over Dave Miller of Lebanon Valley. Lycoming Meet "How beautiful is victory but how dear" can best describe the attitude of the throngs of people who watched Bob Sislian (see Athlete of the Week) put a pressure pin on Lycoming's lumbering John Wilbur and give the Wilkes wrestlers a much deserved16-11 victory over the Warrior rnatrnen of Lycoming. The tenseness of the match was carried throughout the crowd by Colonel rooters who wanted to return the "crying towel" to Lycoming and when the score was tied, 11-all, the fever had reached the breaking point going into the heavyweight bout. Big Bob Sislian, the Colonel bread-and-butter man, lost little .time in bringing the winning laurels ,to the Blue and Gold squad when he reversed Wilbur and applied a half-nelson hold for the pin and the match as the house went wild. The stage for the fabulous climax was set when the Warrior 177pounder Bob Jones edged out Bob Herman in a thrilling match. The Wilkes hopeful was wrestling in his first college meet and looms as one of the top grapplers of the Wilkes ,b right wrestling future. In another thrilling match, Dick Stauffer of Wilkes and Bill Kerig maintained their undefeated records in the 130-1:b. class by emerging with a scoreless draw. Another battle of unbeatens found Marv Antinnes, Colonel 167lb. kingpin, decisioning Ed Receski, 5-1. Marv missed making it five consecutive pins of the season by not touching Receski's shoulders to the mat. Brooke Yeager, 123-lb., and Ted Toluba, 157-1,b., were the other victorious Colonels as they won decisions over Lee Wolf, 8-5, and Pete Dutrow, 7-1. Summaries Wilkes: Lewis 204-592, Myers 201-531, Jerry Chisarick 191-519, Gozdiskowski 200-501, and Fred Jacoby 158-459.

Carl Havira BOWLING NEWS Myers and Lewis Star As Gutterdusters Sweep; Blitzkriegs Share Top by John Nork A clean sweep victory by the Gutterdusters over the Smashers ena:bled the former to go into a first place tie with the Blitzkriegs. The Pirrbusters, defeated by the Blitzkriegs, 3-1, continued their slump and slipped into a last place tie with the Flatballs. Other action saw the Kingpins cop three points from the Flatballs. Dan Lewis and Dick Myers, the mainstays of the powerful Gutterdusters,, rolled 204-581 and 233-553. John Sapiego's 190-511 performanee proved to be in vain as his Smashers went down in defeat. Mark Adelson rolled a 146-421 for the losers. Fred Jacoby and Bob Hewitt were high men for the victorious Blitzkriegs. Jacoby had a 180-494, Hewitt had a 159-457. Emil Petrasek, 235-557, welcomed a surprise 515 series from Bob Barovich, but their efforts were not enough to overcome a determined Blitzkrieg team. A faulty first game prevented Adam Gajewski, a top ten bowler, from reaching the 500 circle as he settled for a 200-493, for his Kingpins. Giving a needed helping hand was Tom Dysleski with a 175-477. Tom Evans, 191-503, and Jerry Chisarick, 184-486, were high men for the losing Flatballs.

PM,C, like Wilkes, was defeated by Millersville. Although they won seven of the elev,e n events against Millersville, PMC was nevertheless defeated, indicating a lack of depth in its squad. Wilkes has eliminated a good deal of its lack o/ depth and stands an excellent chance to defeat PMC. The Lycoming meet of February 6 is still under protest to the Middle Atlantic Conference in Philadelphia and as yet no reply has been received as to the official decision. Lose at Home Last Saturday afternoon the team lost its second meet of the season to a strong Millersville State College team by a score of 54 to 34.

Art Club Organized; Poster Painting Service Offered to Campus Clubs Initial plans for the organization of a campus Art Clu'b have been completed and submitted to Dean Ralston and the Student Government for final approval. For a considerable length of time, art majors have felt the lack of any organization, save Cue 'n' Curtain, to provide an outlet for artistic talent. As a result, tentative plans drawn up by Marie Realmuto and Leonard Yoblonski were seized upon by approximately twenty-five art students and put into effect. Membership in the club would be open to all students - especially art students, weekly meetings would ,be held, a workshop and field trips would ,be sponsored by the group, and exhibits would be set up. A feature of the Club which should be especially interesting to harassed publicity chairmen is the poster-making service. Members of the Club would design and paint posters which would be available to other campus organizations for a nominal cost which would cover the cost of materials. This service would not only provide a much-needed service for publicity committees, but would also provide lettering pra,ctice for art students. Therefore by organizing such a club the "Rembrandts" of the campus would :provide benefits for •b oth the college-at-large and their own group. .

Although the members fully realize that the SAM program is no substitute for classroom activity, the Galloping George Ralston and team took advantage of the situation as they dumped in point after point, when they weren't getting up, remounting, or being thrown. They piled up enough points to win easily, 18-14, over the game but often thrown athletes. The athletes vow revenge this year, and some mumbling to the effect that someone tampered with ,t heir donkeys last year. One althlete claimed his nasty steed had been fed red ,p eppers and couldn't stand still. A <tentative list of athletes who will attempt to ride the "untouchalbles" includes : Frank "Texas" Spudis, Marv "Quick-draw" Antinnes, "Panhandle" Dobrowalski, "Two Gun" Gacha, "Fighting" Fred Williams, and Carl "Waterhole" Havira. The names of the faculty team are ,b eing kept secret mainly because five faculty members who wish to commit suicide are hard to find. particpaition in SAM is felt to be supplementary to regular schooling. Keeping in direct contact with ,business and professional men supplies a greater perspective, a 1broader view, and a clearer look to the future for student members of SAM. Future Programs The Society has more of the same t ype programs planned for the near future. Several members have requested an authoritarian view regarding opportunities for employment in aviation and surrounding fields. •S uch a program will be presented. An overall view of large-scale department store operations will also be :presented by the executives and division heads of Fowler, Dick and Walker - The Boston Store. The la.tter will be presented as a series and the entire student body and guests will be invited. , •..I kept worrying about the job •••" • , Behind the wheel, , your only job is driving!

The case should prove interesting. We have heard arguments from people concerned with each side of the debate. We have not yet seen the full report of all action taken on the matter and realize fully that each side of the story was explained to us colored by the interests of the people who related 1he "facts." We haven't formed an opinion on the matter yet, but an interesting side-light was revealed when the issue was made public. It seems that the I.C.G. failed to provide chaperons for its recent dance, "The Merry Mixup," a prophetically apt title. Further, the reasons given for this failure to follow procedure was that the committee responsible for chaperons was unable to locate faculty members to serve in this capacity. We see here a curious thing. Certainly not every faculty member was consulted. All dances in the past have had chaperons in attendance; it is unthinkable that there should suddenly be none available. Whatever the cause for their absence, we cannot help but observe that it is a distressing sign that faculty members who will support student social affairs are so scarce, especially when nothing more is required of them than their presence. It is further distressing to note that all the chaperons who ~o so support the affairs are generally the same people. Here is the curious aspect of the case. We h~ve a certain numbe~ of really interested faculty people who will act as chaperons time after time. Further, most of these people will dress in weird costumes, read "beat" poetry, gobble watermelons and cherry pie, saw logs, and even risk life and limb playing basketball on the backs of donkeys. That's real cooperation. On the other hand, we have faculty members who have never been seen in the gymnasium except for final exams and who compound the felony by frequent and vociferous criticism of the conduct of social affairs. It may be further true that these people are really unable to attend because of other commitments, but it seems inconceivable that of nearly 90 faculty members, only about two dozen are on the "available" list. We are fully aware that employment as ':1n in~tr_uctor _in this College does not carry any obligation for social mixmg with the students. We also are aware that there are far more important matters than chaperoning social affairs, but we are told as freshmen that the marks of an educated man include more than mere academic achievement. We are told that practice of social graces is of considerable value. Wha~ puz~les us is . how w'! are to attain this well-rounded personality without seemg sufficient examples of it from those who preach it to us.

Senior Dinner Dance Next Friday Evening; Nork, Cardone Entertain Seniors are reminded that the Dinner Dance will be held next Friday night at the Wilkes-Barre American Legion Home, North River Street, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. Mr. Robert C. Riley, instructor in the psychology department, will be after-dinner s p ea k er. He has chosen "Love and Marriage" as the theme for his address. Following the dinner, the comedy t eam of Nork and Cardone will entemain. Both are Wilkes students and have been making rapid progress in the entertainment world. Joe Cardone is a junior business education major, John Nork a sophomore psychology major; both men are from Nanticoke. The menu for the dinner includes a choice of m eat or seafood. Seniors may indicate their choice when purchasing tickets. This is the last planned activity for the class as whole before final arrangements for graduation; it is seen as a final chance for seniors to meet socially before ending their college careers. Music for dancing will be provided by the Statesmen immediately following the dinner until midnight. Student Leaders Comment On Fund Drive, Weekend by Jim Jackiewicz The first Student Leaders' Conference of the spring semester was held Tuesda.y evening in the College Commons. A report was presented on organizational leadership and the need for the training of future student leaders. The annual S,p ring Weekend was discussed and a number of club and dormitory representa,.. tives consented to have their respective organizations construot displays similar to those of Homecoming, should such a ,p lan be adopted. The Arnnicola and the Beacon submitted financial statements. The major topic of discussion was that of .t he College Fund Drive for the development program. A question concerning student -p articipation in the drive was raised. An informal vote was taken in favor of the students' contributing. Also various, plans for donation were brought forth and discussed. A pledge plan, such as a dollar a month for a ,p eriod of several months was suggested and voted upon favorably by the students in atitendance. A number of various announcements were made at the general discussion portion of the meeting. The King's Players To Present "Hamlet" by Steve Cooney The King's Players of King's College will present William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" on March 10, 11, and 12 at 8 p.m. in their new theater locat ed in t he new King's College Science Building. In addition to the use of the arena and proscenium stages, the "Hamlet" produc-tion will be presented on an open stage. It is expected that this three-way stage will offer greater flexibility and greater sweep, scope, and color to classical staging techniques than has ever been used in the theater. Mr. Carl E. Wagner, director of The King's Players, stated that he believes the open stage set-up as it will be used in "Hamlet" is the only one of its kind in the United States. Invitation Extended to C'n'C As a part of the continuing closer relationship of the two colleges, the King's Players have invited the Cue 'n' Curtain Club to an "Open Theater" gathering on Sunday, March 13. Several scenes from "Hamlet" will be presented to demonstrate the new open stage technique followed by a social hour and tour of the new facilities. l................................... Campus Observer ! Friday, February 26, 1960 CAMPUS PROGRESS Last Tuesday's assembly revealed plans for an athletic field, but did not mention any other future developments. Several projects are planned for the next decade : A Fine Arts Building, a new library, a new wing on Stark Hall for the graduate and research program required by RCA, new dorms to house 200 additional students, a dining hall capa:ble of serving 400 boarding students, and finally, an engineering building. • Improvements and renovations are planned for some of the buildings presently on campus. One of the few buildings on campus that is un-named is at 159 South Franklin Street, which now houses the English offices and the Beacon office. This building is scheduled to be torn down; the land will then be partially landscaped, the remaining section to be used to widen the driveway and entrance to Stark Hall. Many of the dorms are presently in the process of being painted and r epaired. TALK -TALK - TALK In a recent education class, a student happened to mention the possibility of recall concerning certain members of the Student Government. The possibility of recall, which is similar to impeachment proceedings, was mentioned in connection with the a-c tion taken by the Student Government in cutting the funds entirely from the I.C.G. No Student Government members were present in the above-mentioned education class to defend themselves. The Student Governme:rut later, after more consideration, reappropriated one-half of the funds to the I.C.G. It is important to mention here that the Court of Appeals is used to arbitrate any Student Government decision that a student may object to. PERSONAL NOTES Sal Valenti, a graduate of Wilkes, was accepted for graduate work in the Bio-Chemistry Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Shirley Bachman, Dean Ralston's secretary, was married to Michael J. Weiss, Jr., in West Pittston on February 12, 1960. OPEN DATE REQUESTS An announcement was made last week by the Student Government that the date of May 6 was open because of a cancellation. This announcem ent brought a torrent of requests from many of the various groups and clubs on campus to use this date. No organization has as yet been chosen to fill this open date. POOR ENGINEERING This past week the Manuscript was showing "Death of a Salesman" when, right after intermission, a loud crash was heard. The film was being shown in room 116 of Stark Hall, and several persons went into the hall to find the reason for the noise. Nothing could be found at that time, but after the film was completed several persons passing the Engineer exihibt noticed that the top shelf of the display had collapsed. One of the viewers commented, "No wonder Russia is ahead in the missile race!" Yours truly, The Observer I There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Until just a short time ago, Cyprus was an island of bloodshed and violence due to strife between the British, Turks and Greeks. Now, on the first anniversary of the signing of the London pea ce agreement, the Greek President-elect, Archbishop Makarios, and Turkish Vice-President-elect Dr. Kutchuk today issued messages of welcome to Cyprus to the force of German miners who are on a world mission with the ideological play, "Hoffnung" (Hope). In an island alive with anticipation of the coming of independence, disappointment over deadlocked negotiations, fear of renewed violence, and sharpening of the ideological struggle between Moral ReArmament and Communism, word of the coming of the MRA force of seventy-five sent on the world mission by Chancellor Adenauer has gone from town to town and village to village. Enthusia sm mounts hourly. The following statement was issued from the Archbishopric today: "Archbishop Makarios has noted with interest that the German miners sent by Chancellor Adenauer are going to Kerala, India, Japan and America at the invitation of national leaders; that on the way they will pass through Cyprus where they would be prepared to give a performance of the play, "Hoffnung". His Beatitude is aware of the distinctive role played by the miners' force in creating better understanding at the time of Chancellor Adenauer's visit to London. Having in mind the high moral objectives of Moral Re-Armament the Archbishop welcomes such a timely visit by the miners to Cyprus." In his message Kutchuk said: "I have heard with great interest of the force of German miners sent by Chancellor Adenauer who have gone to the countries of Europe with a m essage of hope and unity. Their power of reconciling countries and of giving a strong moral foundation to every nation is what Cyprus needs at .this very crucial hour in her history. I fully support the high moral purposes of the ideology of Moral Re-Armament. That is why I warmly welcome this force of German miners to Cyprus with their play, 'Hoffnung'." This visit and showing of 'Hoffnung' is a main news item on the Cyprus Radio and the talk of the island .press.

Both men have scored over a thousand points in their college careers and in doing so set an unprecedented record at Wilkes. It was the first time in the history of the school that two players hit 1,000 in the same year. Gacha is a 5'9" guard who hails from Wilkes-Barre. He is leading the team in scoring this year and is averaging 18 points per contest.

Leading the Colonel matmen will be MAC champions Dick Stauffer, 130-lbs., and "Mustang Marv" Antinnes, 177-lbs. Gettysburg will counter with a well~balanced squad featuring Mike Basilio, reigning MAC heavyweight champion. The Bullets have always had a strong wrestling team and were MAC titlist until four years ago when the Colonels captured the crown. PJ,aying before a crowd of 1,100 fans, last Saturday the Colonels trimmed a -p reviously undefeated Moravian mat team, 20-10. Brooke Yeager, flashy 123-lb. Wilkesman, pinned Dick Gross in 1 :20 after having a ten-second takedown. Dick Stauffer followed with a pin in 4 :29 over Bill Rinkin who had entered the meet undefeated. Rinkin was reversed early in the second period and Dick tangled the "Greyhound" up with a split scissors hold to register the fall. Gene Medei captured Moravian's first points by out-pointing Gerard Senick, 6-2. The closest match of the evening found Joe Morgan, 147lb. Colonel co-captain, and Dan Turner ending the match with four points apiece for a draw. The Colonels returned to their winning ways when Ted Toluba decisioned Dick Bedico, 12-4. Ted led throughout the match and had a fairly easy time with the Moravian wrestler. The 167-lb. clash was the second draw of the afternoon when Glen Rittenhouse and Dave Bryant ended their bout, 10-10. Marv Antinnes continued his mastery in the 177-lb. class by decisioning Steve Edraney, 4-0. The Moravian matman seemed to take pride in the hope of not getting pinned and spent most of the afternoon on his stomach, •k eeping Marv from registering a fall. The heavyweight bout was slowmoving with Moravian's Dick Schaeffer decisioning Bo:b Sislian, 2-0.

That is how Dr. Michelini explained his proficiency in all sorts of eating competition, after winning the cherry pie-eating contest at last week's "Cherry Tree Chop." He has brought home three trophies for eating the most watermelon in the Lettermen's Shoe Shine Day contest, and four trophies for the cherry pie gorging events. This makes Dr. Michelini the undisputed champion in these gargantuan endeavors. Dr. Michelini has admitted that his fondness for watermelon knows no bounds, ,but h e adds that cherry pie is not to his liking . Whether his victories were the cause of this, he did not say. With this secret out, it should ,b e easy for any future competitor to win out over Dr. Michelini. As for the start of it all, he recalls a Biology Club dance at Thanksg iving time in 1956. The refreshments were cider and doughnuts. Owing to bad weather the crowd at -the affair was quite small, leaving a, ,p lentiful supply of doughnuts that no one seemed interested in consuming. When the chaperons were approached with this ,p roblem, Dr. Michelini, as one of them, suggested a doughnut eating contest and volunteered to compete. From then on he has served religiously in any such contests. H ere may be added t hat this was the first and last eating bout that he ever lost. Dr. Francis Michelini Rumor also has it that the students will be seeing him on top of a four-legged obstinate creature tion las-t year will remember that within the next few weeks. All he wa.s the leading scorer for the those who saw him in such a posi- faculty team. Juniors Boosl Two Allraclions; Presenl Second Donkey Baskelball The Junior Class will present two outstanding events in the near future: the Donkey Basketball game and the Louis Armstrong Show. The Donkey Basketball game is an annual event, with athletes on one team and members of the faculty on the other team. This year the game will be held at the gym on March 9. A trophy will be presented to the winning t eam and to the highscoring player of the game. The faculty team, the defending champs, will consist of : Dean Ralston, Russell Picton, Bob Morris, John Reese, Dr. Francis Michelini, Richard Kutchkoff, Dr. John Ga.ito, and Francis Pinkowski. Opposing the faculty team will be the following students: Joe Morgan, Bernie Radecki, Ray Marchakitus, Frank Spudis, Marv Antinnes, Fred Williams, George Gacha, Carl Ha vira, and Al Dobrowalski. Anyone who attended the game last year will remember the excitement as the "Faculty Flashes" defeated the "Student Stars." This year's game promises to be even more exciting when the students try t o a venge their loss. Jim McCarthy, local sportscaster, will again be on hand to relate the blow by blow and the fall by fall description of the game. Dean Ralston feels confident that history will repeat itself and the faculty will be triumphant once more. He commented: "It will be a good game and the competition PIZZA will be tough, but it's a sure thing for the faculty. How could you beait a coonbination of faculty members and donkeys? The faculty can easily beat the students because of the faculty's experience, maturity, and donk ey sense which the students don't have. Students drive cars too much and don't get enough exercise. Therefore, the fa culty is in better ,p hysical condition and has more ri,gorous stamina." Advance tickets will soon be on sale for this game at the cafeteria. "Louey Day" Planned" The second outstanding event will be t he Louis Armstrong Jazz Concert. The Juniors have designated March 15 as Louey Day, the initial campaign day for this class project. Television and radio stations will publicize this affair, and students will canvass the various colleges to sell tickets for this show. Chase theater will be the publicity headquarters for the sale of tick ets. The two-hour show will take -p lace Saturday evening, April 30. The Class of '61 is also planning a Junior Weekend, which will proba,bly be h eld at the end of April. CASA Famous for Its Italian Food 24 Public Square PIZZA BAKED DAILY 11 A.M. to 12 P.M.

Included in this amount are: $8,160 contributed from special gifrts; $7,245 from corporate gifts; $5,585 from general gifts; and $623 from alumni gifts. Present at Monday's report meeting was David Vann, an alumnus of Wilkes, who spoke about the scholarship aid program. Mr. Vann r ec,eived scholarship aid while at Wilk es and he stated that this aid not only enabled him to attend college, but also provided him with the opportunity to show leadership abilities which resulted in a Rotary Scholarship for one y,ear of study at Rhodes University in South Africa. Dr. Farley and Russell Picton are going to visit the various alumni chapters in places such as Binghamton, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Easton, Allentown, and Reading. In rthis particular area a committee of 50 alumni has been established with Clayton Bloomburg as division leader. These people will visit the graduates of Wilkes living in the Valley to solicit their aid in the campaign. Other divisions of the campaign are being led by: James P.

Senior Dinner Dance Tonight at Legion; Music by Statesmen by Pat Rossi Next Wednesday evening the "Student Stars" will oppose the "Faculty Flashes" in one of the funniest basketball games on the court - Donkey Basketball, a combination of a rodeo, a circus, and a basketball game. The "Student Stars," the Wilkes athletes, will try to avenge their loss of last year to the "Faculty Flashes," members of the college faculty. In this game, there are only four men on a team, two guards and two forwards. To start the game, each team gets set under a basket using the opposite basket as their goal. Players can retrieve the ball and pass it only if they are mounted or if they have the reins in their hands. A ,p layer can ride the length of the floor with the ball, but he cannot hold it more than 15 seconds. All of the baskets must be made while the player is mounted. As a change from the regular basketball rules, the players can substitute anytime they wish merely by walking onto the ftoor and taking the other player's place. In this game just about anything goes because there are no out-of-bounds, time-outs, or fouls. The "Faculty Flashes" will have as their player-coach, Dean of Men George F. Ralston. His fellow teammates will be: Dr. Francis Michelini, Dr. John Gaito, Francis Pinkowski, Russell R. Picton, Jr., John Reese, Richard Krutchkoff, and Robert Morris. On the opposing team, Al Dobrowalski will be the captain and player-manager of the "Student Stars." Members of his team include: Joe Morgan, Bernie Radecki, Ray Marchakitus, Frank Spudis, Marv Antinnes, Fred Williams, George Gacha, and Carl Havira. The starting lineup of each team is still a deep-guarded secret, but don't worry, you shouldn't have too much trouble distinguishing them from their four-footed accomplices. Jim McCarthy, local sportscaster, will be on hand to relate the description of the game. Bill Hawke, general chairman, has announced that two trophies will be awarded - one trophy to the winning team and one trophy to the high scorer of the game. Donkey Basketball is being brought to Wilkes-Barre under the sponsorship of the Jnior Class, and it will be played in the college gymnasium on Wednesday night beginning at 8 p.m. The price for this unusual night of entertainment is only 65 cents for adults and 35 cents for children under 12. The various chairmen and their committees have worked hard to make this event a success. Ray Van Why and Jane Jablonski are cochair.men of publicity; Al Dobrowalski, the riders; Dave Kline and Bob Ontko, the door; Edward Kemps, arrangements; Herb Kline and Phil White, tickets. by Lynne Dente Today is the last day that tickets for the Senior Class Dinner Dance will be sold.

The dance will be held at the Wilkes - Barre American Legion Home on North River Street. Dinner will be served at 7, and afterward Mr. Robert G. Riley, instructor in the psychology department, will speak to the group on the subject of love and marriage. Following the dinner, the comedy team of Nork and Cardone will entertain.

Perhaps we have enough to do without meddling in the affairs of campus organizations, but the following is meant as constructive criticism. The School Spirit Committee was formed several years ago as a self-appointed guardian of student enthusiasm. Whenever any event concerning the entire student body was in the planning stages, this group made it its business to see that everyone was informed about the activity and encouraged to take active part, or at least give active support. At first the group performed cheerleader duties, to put it simply. Since, however, the Committee has taken a broader interpretation of its function and is active in nearly every phase of campus life. Few organizations with worthwhile projects have operated without moral support from the Committee. The Amnicola, for example, has benefitted greatly from the Committee's efforts to see that "booster" ads to aid publication are taken by individuals and clubs. When the Committee was first formed, we felt that its existence was unnecessary, the result of a pessimistic view of campus spirit, even an insult to .the active students who cheerfully supported every activity possible. We felt that the admission by the Committee that school spirit needed boosting was a negative attitude, but said nothing about it. Since, many people from many areas ouside the College have commented on the good spirit of the Wilkes students, their pride in their College, and their participation in worthwhile community efforts. We feel that these welcome comments are all the reward needed by those who render such community services. Whether these recent comments reflect an increased show of school spirit is debatable. We have always insisted that Wilkes College has always had plenty of spirit and therein rests our argument. We feel that the need for a School Spirit Committee - if such need ever existed at all - is no more. There is need for what the Committee is doing, however. Rather than concern itself with whipping up enthusiasm where enthusiasm is already sufficient, we are pleased to see that the Committee is taking upon itself such important duties as the conduct of the coming Spring Weekend. We are not advocating the abandonment of the Committee, but we do request it to consider a change of name. It is an active group and an enthusiastic one. It deserves and gets, support from all phases of campus life. More important, however, is its need for a more appropriate title. An outsider would get the irnression that all the school spirit at Wilkes is found in the committee of the same name and that the organizations it supports rely upon it for getting results. This is far from the truth. School spirit belongs to all the students and giving the title to one group is a negative reflection on every other group. Finally, we feel that the group does it~elf a disservice with the title, since its work concerns itself with far more important things than mere "drum-beating." We feel it should take on a name with broader implications and let the term "school spirit" stay where it belongs - with every student and every group active on campus. WHAT . . . WHERE . . .

STICKY TACTICS (ACP) - A dean at Henderson State Teachers College (Ark.) has come up with a new system of getting students to attend class, says the Henderson Oracle. -The dean suggests that schools begin giving stamps for class attendance. !Upon filling a ,book of these stamps, students would be awarded gifts from stores downtown. The dean also suggested that stamps be given for grades. The Oracle comments: "While this seems very improbable at present, several schools have had certain systems in awarding special letters or awards to students with special scholastic ability. One school in the northern states (unidentified) used the same lettering syst~m as the athletic department in all departments. If a student made top ,g rades in math classes, he received a sweater and letter signifying that he had lettered in math." held at the first meeting in May, and elections will take place the following week. In the future, the members plan to set up an am exhi,b it displaying creative and artistic works in oils, pen and ink, water colors, and charcoal. They are also planning a field trip and a possible museum tour during the ensuing months. :,That horn-blower behind me got my goat.;•" • Even good clrivers can be :forced into accidents!

Game time is 8 p.m. The Colonels' record for the season stands at 10 wins and 10 losses, the Albright game being the de-ciding factor whether the home forces finish with a winning or losing year. Albright enters tomorrow's contest with a 16-8 record and has proven to be one of the better teams on the eastern seaboard this year. They are in third ,p lace in the Middle Altantic Conference's northern division with a 9-3 slate.

Hours: 10 to 9 - Daily Valley College, seeking their fourth consecutive Middle Atlantic Championship this weekend. A total of 21 schools have entered teams with the top contenders for the crown being Wilkes, Lycoming, Hofstra, and West Chester State College. The large number of wrestlers insures keen com,petition, and to make rnatiters rougher, there are six 1959 chMnpions and one 1958 titlist among the more than 150 entries who will compete for eight division crowns. Wilkes has three defending champions on its squad. Dick Stauffer, with an undefeated record, is last year's 123-lb. titlist ,w ho has moved up to the 130-lb. class. Ted Toluba is the defending 157-lb. title holder. He is back in top shape after a bad start this season because of injuries to his shoulder. Marv Antinnes, who has an unblemished record for the last two seasons, moves up to the 177-lb. class after capturing the laurels in the 167-J.b. class last season. Other champions entered include: Harry Roonig, 137-lb. champ from Lycoming, who was outstanding wrestler in last year's meet; Mike Pacilio, Gettysburg heavyweight, who has a 10-0 record this season; ,a nd John Ayre, 130-lb. titlist from Bucknell. Down Gettysburg, 27-3 The Wilkes wrestlers tuned up for the MAC tournament with an impressive 27-3 victory over the Gettysburg grapplers. The Colonel victory •w as ,t he 18th for the Reesemen without a defeat in dual meet competition. Marv Antinnes scored his twentythird consecutive victory by pinning Gettysburg's Lindley with a crucifix hold in 4 :04. The Colonel's 177lb. grappler looked as impressive as always in extending his winning skein. Wilkes' captain and 137-lb. wresler, Joe Mor,g an, finished his collegiate wrestling career in dualmeets in fine style by registering a 4:44 fall over Norm Maisel. Dick Stauffer also continued his winning ways by scoring a second period pin, via the cradle hold, over Jim Comas in the 130-lb. class. Freshman Brooke Yeager also looked very ,good in decisioning the Bullets' Tom Propst, 9-7, in the 123-lb. class. MAC 157-lb. champ Ted Toluba scored his third win in a row with an impressive 6-0 decision a,t the expense of Jim White. Mik~ Armstrong and Glenn Rittenhouse, 147 and 167-lb. Wilkes wrestlers, saw things pretty much the same way. They wrestled twin brothers and each won by a decision. Armstrong decisioned Norman Henry in a close bout, 5-4, while Rittenhouse widened the gap and decisioned brother Pat Henry, 8-1. The lone Gettysburg win came in the heavyweight bout where MAC champion Mike Pacilio decisioned hard-working Colonel Bob Herman. This is ,t he first time this season the Bullet heavyweight hasn't been able to score a fall. dle Atlantic Swimming Championship events at Bucknell University. The Wilkes delegation will be led by Carl Havira who will swim in the 200 yard butterfly, 200 yard :b reaststroke, and the 200 yard individual medley events. Pat Shovlin will compete in the 200 yard butterfly and the 200 yard individual medley events with Havira. Art Eckhart will be entered in the fifty and the 100 yard freestyle events. Dick Bender will participate in the freshman diving event. Wilkes versus Pennsylvania Military College Wednesday, February 24, the Colonel tankmen took advantage of Pennsylvania Military College's lack of depth to defeat them, 51 to 44, and ,b ring home their first win of the season. Despite the fact that they won seven of the eleven events, the weakness which PMC had displayed against Millersville State College again proved to be the reason for their defeat. Leading by a slim margin of three points, Carl Havira withdrew from the 200 yard breaststroke to participate in the 400 yard freestyle relay, the last event of the meet. PlYiC tied the score, 44 to 44, in the breaststroke event but the Colonel team of Ed Gavel, Pat Shovlin, Carl Havira, and Art Eckhart won the relay to clinch the meet, 51 to 44. Blitzkriegs in First; Gutterdusters Fall As Pinbusters Gain by John Nork First place has changed hands so many times in the scond half of the season that onlookers are led to assume that equality was the essence when the ,b owlers were parcelled out to their respective teams. Each team, with the exception of the Pinbusters and the Kingpins, has claimed at least once to have possessed the coveted position. The process was repeated once again Sunday as the Gutterdusters were forced out of first by the 3-1 victory of the Blitzkriegs. In other action, the Pinbusters flattened the Flatballs, 4-0, and the Smashers copped three points from the Kingpins. Dave Gozdiskowski, 177-515 and Fred Jacoby, 178-511 led their Blitzkriegs in their victory upset of the Gutterdusters. For the first Ume in a long time, Dick Myers and Dan Lewis' efforts failed to formulate in victory for their Gutterdusters. Myers had a 203-556, Lewis a 186-512. The Pinbusters finally snapped out of a slump, and in a big way, as .they took a clean sweep victory from the Flatballs. Emil Petrasek showed tremendous form rolling a 222-617. Dave Sokira, the No. 2 bowler of the league, chipped in with a 203-556.

Market St. - Wilkes-Barre TDR Needs Cooperation For Successful Bake Sale by Mary Frances Barone TDR members are making final preparations for their bake sale at Pennsylvania Power and Light Company on Tuesday, March 8. The girls will bake the cookies with the assistance of the home economist from the P.P.&L. The cookies will be sold from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The girls will prepare pineapple and ranger cookies. The cookies will be priced at 45 cents a dozen. Pre-sale orders will be taken by chairman Jane Neddoff and her committee on first floor of the cafeteria on Monday from 12 to 1. Any girl interested in working on Monday night or Tuesday for the bake sale should contact Jane Neddoff today or Monday. Workers are needed to .prepare the mixture on, Monday night and to bake and sell on Tuesday. Members are reminded that cooperation and organization are needed to make the sale a success. There is the ,p ossibility that, if there is no co-operation from the members of TDR, the bake sale will be cancelled. Chairman Neddoff has stated that there has been little interest shown so far. Another reminder is that other organizations have held bake sales which have been successful. Science Departments Plan High School Exhibition by Steve Cooney The various science departments of the college are formulating plans for the annual high school science show which will be presented April 1 and 2 in Stark Science Hall. The biology, chemistry, and physics departments will each make contributions to the show, with Dr. Charles Reif, chair.man of the biology department, acting as coordinator and general chairman of the group. Exact plans of what will be presented at the show have not been released yet. One show will be given on Friday evening, .April 1, and one each on the morning and afternoon of Saturday, April 2. Student chairman of the affair, Bill Davis, has announced that the two-day program will be free to the high school students and also interested members of the student body. It is interesting to note that the science show had its beginning at a time when the college did not have adequate science facilities, but the recently constructed science hall provides perfect accomodations and atmosphere for the annual show. -and- Sam's Kosher Delicatessen Narrows Shopping Center Kingston - Edwardsville For a Snack between Meals Groceries - Dairy Food - Kosher Meats 298 So.

At this time all tickets will have been giv~n out to all Valley and neighbormg colleges. Tickets are also being placed in various stores and agencies in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and all surrounding towns. Students are r equested to purchase their ticket s early because a limited num ber will ib~ sold on campus. The tickets will sell for $2.00 each and can be purchased in Chase Theater, or from a member of the Junior Class. The campus publicity committee headed by Vince Capo has planned some surprise publicity for the campus to make this publicity day a success. . All persons who signed up to sell tickets and any other interested persons can pick up their tickets Tuesday or Wednesday in Chase Theater between 11 and 2 o'clock. The Girls' Chorus and the Collegians will join forces tomorrow evening when they enter the 71st "_Cynonfardd" Eisteddfod competition ait Dr. Edwards Memorial Congregation Church, Edwardsville. The Eisteddfod, traditional Welsh talen~ festi val, features all-day competition in music and recita,tion. The final event, the choral competition, is the highlight of the day's a ctivity. Last year the two choruses combined to sing the prize song, "The Heavens Are Telling." Their performance was widely acclaimed by the spectaitors and the adjudicators of the competition awarded the Wilkes group the first prize of $250. The choruses will be conducted in competition by Bill Peters Collegians' director. Janet C~rnell will accompany the group at the piano. This year the song for choruses will be "And The Glory of the Lord," from Handel's Messiah. The choruses entered all sing the same number, then the judges comment on each performance before announcing rthe winners. The prize awarded depends upon the number of groups entered. If one chorus enters, the prize is $150, two choruses boost the value to $200, and three or more, $250. NOTICE 'BEACON' REPORTERS The Assignment Sheet for next week's issue is now posted.

Scoring 60 points to Bucknell's 42, the locals had four men in the running for first place came out with two champions Ma;,, Antinnes at 177 •p ounds' and Dick Stauffer at 130. For each man it was a repeat win, but in different weight classes. Stauffer was the 1959 123-lb. champion, Antinnes was 167-lb. champ. Each moved up one weight this year. Captain Joe Morgan finished second in the 137-pound division losing a good bout to Lycoming's Harry Romig. For his performance, Romig was named the tourney's Outstanding Wrestler for the second straight year. Freshman Brooke Yeager finished second in the 123-pound class, losing a 6-1 Dick Stauffer decision to Hofstra's Don Hannon.

Several students have given the usual reaction - snorts and snide comments, but we feel certain that the students on the whole will cooperate in this drive. We feel this way because we have faith in the sense of fair play Wilkes students have always exhibited. As we see it, the serious and thinking student realizes that the good citizens of this community have been asked to help the development of their community college many times in past years. In almost every instance, these citizens have come through generously and the campaigns have always succeeded. The last one, three years ago, was a resounding success. Without the splendid cooperation of the students, that campaign would have been short of its goal. We remember that campaign and the looks of pleasure on the faces of local citizens when the final report meeting showed that student contribution provided the margin of success. We feel that such help by the students makes a solid impression on the people who have supported this institution for over a quarter of a century. Once more the students are asked to lend a helping hand. No member of the campaign committee expects that hard-pressed students will cough up the whole $270,000. They would be pleased, however, to see that the beneficiaries of their efforts have an interest in their success. We are, in effect, asking these citizens to tour the Valley and ask other citizens to contribute to the College. While these people do this, we can hardy sit back and watch the coins roll in. If we can't show interest in a drive to improve our own facilities, how can we expect others to have any luck soliciting donations? Trite, but true is the old chestnut - it's not the gift that counts in this instance, but the thought behind it. If the entire student body contributed a total of only a few dollars, the local citizenry would be impressed by its effort to pull itself up by its own bootstraps. We feel that a cash contribution, no matter how small, would make a tremendous impression greater even than a higher amount pledged over a long period. We do not suggest that the latter method of helping out be forgoMen, but we do sincerely suggest that every student think carefully and decide which way suits his financial situation. Congratulations, Vol. IV Once more we have the pleasant duty of extending congratulations to coach John Reese and his wrestling team, four-time winners of the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. This is getting to be a habit, and one we would hate to break. We here at Wilkes have more to be proud of than we realize. For instance, we overheard several of the coaches and officials commenting on the sportsmanship and manners of the Wilkesmen. Always polite and soft-spoken, every man made a good appearance, was neat and orderly. Even other wrestlers mentioned the fact that the Colonels were a "bunch of nice guys." This is the highest compliment, since wrestlers as a class are perhaps the best-natured competitors off the field of battle in any sport. For the record, the Colonels went to Lebanon Valley with a string of sixteen straight meets without a loss - there was one tie with Hofstra. Now they have added their fourth straight Conference championship, an unprecedented record. Further, since a highly disputed loss to Bloomsburg in 1955, the team has chalked up 36 wins, two ties, and one defeat. During that time, the other tie, with Millersville, was the only blot on a 23-meet unbeaten skein. The same Millersville team stopped Wilkes on the next-to-last meet of the 1957-58 season. The current 16-meet streak without defeat goes back to the last meet of that season, an easy win over Fairleigh-Dickinson. Spring Weekend, Prom, Parties On Committee Agenda by Wayne Thomas Plans for Spring Weekend, which will be held on May 13, 14, and 15, were the major topic of discussion at ithe School Spirit Committee meeting on Tuesday night. The Cinderella Ball will be held on Friday, May 13, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., in the gymnasium. The dance will be a formal affair. The commiittee voted to conduct two dormitory .parties on Saturday night, May 14. An orchestra will be provided at each dormitory ·for dancing. The particular dormitories to be used have not been decided upon as yet. Jim Stephens, co-chairman of the committee, announced that an atitempt will be made to have the baseball game and tennis match scheduled to be played at Albright on May 14 moved to Wilkes on that date. The group also discussed a possible outing and the use of decorations similar to the Homecoming displays. The proposed plans for decorations will be submiitted to the individual organizations at their next meetings. Each individual organization will thereby have an op,p ortunity to express its views on the decorations proposal. Representation Lacking The view was also expressed that many organizations are not sending representatives to the meetings and that these groups are being deprived of their representation on the committee. It was also emphasized thait due to the coming of Spring Weekend many more participants will be needed if the committee is to make a success of the spring affair. ,P residents of the various campus organizations will be contacted and asked to check on their 1·especitive representatives. The School Spirit Committee is continuing its campaign for Amnicola patrons and iboosters. Anyone wishing to have his name appear in the yearbook as a patron or a booster s~ould contact a member of the commiittee. . . The recent Beacon ed1tonal dealing with school spirit was discussed and the committee as yet has taken no action on it. .1'.he next meeting of the School Spmt Committee will be held on Tuesday, March 22, on the second floor of the Bookstore.

Friday, March 11, 1960 Two alumni of the college have received national recognition recently, both in the profession of law. Attorney J. Harold Flannery, Jr., the son of Judge Flannery, was one of the three members of ithe Justice Department counsel who pre.pared a brief and helped the Solicitor General present the case of 1,377 Negro voters who had been dropped from the voting rolls in Louisiana's Washington Parish (county). The case was presented to the Supreme Court; on February 29 the Supreme Court ordered that the 1,377 Negroes be restored to Louisiana's voting rolls. The decision by the Supreme Court was unanimous. Previous to coming to Wilkes, Flannery attended Wyoming Seminary and Lafayette College. He transferred here from Lafayette in February of 1953. While he was here, Flannery was a member of the Cue 'n' Curtain, the Manuscript, and the Debating Society. He graduated in 1955 with an A.B. degree in History. Jesse Choper has been chosen by Chief Justice Earl Warren to be his clerk for the coming year. Choper is currently a senior in the University of Pennsylvania Law School. This is not the first time Choper has had national recognition. While a student here he won national acclaims as a debator, ranking third individually in the United States in 1957. That same year he won the Harvard Invitational Debating Tournament. Af:ter .g raduating summa cum laude from Wilkes, with the highest academic average ever achieved by a Wilkes student, Choper received a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Sta,nding secontl in his class, he was elected to the Law Review in 1958 and this year served as its research editor. Prior to his appointment by Chief Justice Warren, Choper had accepted a teaching position at the University of Minnesota Law School, which has now granted him a leave of absence so that he may fulfill his new duties in Washington. Dr. Kruger was heard to say in one of his speech classes that he wouldn't work three minutes for two dollars. Wonder what kind of wages he gets here? Or maybe he doesn't consider teaching work? :i:::1* * ** Have you observed circulation this week?

Whatever "IT!" is will probaThe Observer admits that "IT!" is stirring up A special holiday was observed one week ago today: Wilkes College, for the first time in the memory of many students, was closed for the day because of the large amount of snow. It was a welcome relief from classes. At the announcement Thursday night, many of the dorms had impromptu parties, and numerous snow-men were erected. Yours truly, The Observer Assembly Organization Explained; Commillee Members Listed by Lynne Dente Every Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, the majority of . . · d h f h kl students direct their footsteps towar t e gym or t e wee y assembly program. Yet few of these students know. the background of "assembl(: ?ow it ~ organized, the purposes,. or its powers. The orgaruzation behmd the weekly program IS the Assembly Committee. I The purpose of the Wilkes College Student Assembly Committee is to help the administra.tion prepare the assembly schedule, proctor the planning of assemblies by campus groups, and to select the yearly winner of the "Best Student Assembly Award." The membership of the Committee consists of six to twelve members, and new mem!bers are elected by the current members. The members of the Committee for this school year include Robert Amey, Pat Belardinella, Mike Bianco, Barry Gintel, Betsy Hoeschele, Jocelyn King, Al Kishel, Moncey Miller (Chairman), George Reynolds, Dick Salus, Nancy Tinklepaugh, and Sandy Ungar. The advisor is selected by the Administration, and the chairman of the Committee is selected in the spring for the following school year by the current members. Meetings are called 1by the chairman or the advisor. This year's meetings have been held at Miss Cole's residence on Sunday evenings. The budget is approximately $1,000 per yea.r , and is contributed by the Administration for the use in faculty assemblies. Student assemblies are presented by the campus clubs, which take full responsi•b ility for the program. The clubs fill in application forms which indicate the desired date for the program, the chairman of the program, the president of the organization, the faculty advisor, the type of program, the number of participants, the necessary props, and the expenses involved. Class Meetings Alternating with the assembly programs are the class meetings. Previous to placing class meetings on the Tuesday calendar there was not enough time for class officers to work with the members of the class. In order to promote greater student activity, the class sponsors requested that certain assembly dates be set aside for class meetings, since the assembly time was the most convenient time for the meetings. This program has been in effect only for the past two years. It is hoped that atfter graduation the various classes will continue to show an interest in the college and participate in their class memorial plans. WHAT ... WHERE ... WHEN ...

To illus- The road to victory was not an easy one for the good-looking grappler but in his usual style he overcame the difficult O'bstaeles to help ,b ring ,b ack the MAC championship to Colonelsville. Marv's first match of the tournament was against Ed Callahan of Muhlenberg and the "Colonel Mustang" registered a fall in 4 :39 to begin his conquests. A 57-second pin was the story of Marv's next victory with Gettyslb urg's Irving Lindley's shoulders finding the mat in short order. The semi-final match was the biggest threat to the crown as Joe Martins of PM-C was riding on a 32-meet victory skein and loomed as a co-favorite to win the title. Marv ended his hopes and winning ways by registering a hard-fought 4-0 victory. The championship bout sent our "Blue and Gold" matmen against Barry Gi1bson of West Chester State College. The match was one of the best of the season and, as he has made a habit of it, Marv emer,g ed victorious with a 9-4 victory and the coveted 177-lb. crown. Marv led all matmen in scoring in the ·tournament with 15 ,p oints and emerged as runner-up for the outstanding wrestler award. Winning the MAC championship is nothing new for Marv as last year he wore the 167-lb. MAC crown and his freshman year was runner-up in the tournament. The Wilkes Open Tournament found Marv a runner-up in the 167-lb. class, the furthest a Colonel grappler ever went in the tournament. The mats aren't the only sports ence swimming tournament ait Bucknell University. Although they failed to place at all in any event as a team, the Colonels did manage to wdn the protested meet against Lycoming that had been lost earlier in the season. The best the tankmen could do in the individual competition were Jerry Mohn's and Carl Havira's seventh place showings in their events. Jerry took sevenith in freshman diVling and Carl, although he turned 'in his best times of the season, took seventh in the 200 yard individual medley, 1butterfly, and breaststroke events. Also ait the tournament, the coaches of the teams discussed the Wilkes ,p rotest of the results of the first meet of the season against Lycoming. I.t had been under protest because afiter both teams had been disqualified in the final relay, the event was run again, the Warrtlors won it and submitted the results as their victory. The coaches Marv Antinnes decided in favor of the Colonels giving them a season record of two area where Marv excels. He led wins and three losses. the Colonel gridders in scoring and ball-can-ying for the .p ast two seasons, and each time rated as one of the top ball-carriers in the conference.

I by Thomas Evans The Rowdies squeaked out a 4644 overtime victory against Gore Hall last Tuesday to win the interleague playoff game and emerge as Intramural basket/ball champions for the 1959-60 season. First half ac:tion saw the Rowdies take an early lead with the score 21-14 at the end of the second quarter. Howev•e r, a fourth quarter surge 'by Gore which was paced by Paul Aquilino's steady shooting and the ball-hawking of Lou Davis, brought about a 40-40 deadlock rut the end of regulation time. Fearsome Fred Williams and Ed Gavel shared scoring honors in the overtime period to give the win to the National Leaguers. This pair also took scoring honors for the game with 14 and 13 points.

POMEROY'S by Frances Olack The Collegians, directed by Bill Peters, will present a program of vocal music at t he student assembly next Tuesday. Highlight of the program will be the announcement of the selection of the chorus director for the next two years. The Collegians are an all..male chorus, forty members strong. However, t he forerunner of this group was a quartet begun in 1950. Preceding directors have been: Bill Crowder, Bob Lynch, and Sam Lowe. The chorus has grown gradually, and now enjoys a prominent spot in the community. The Collegians ~erform at high schools, civic groups, church organizations, and college functions. Oftentimes they combine with the Girls' Chorus for programs. The present officers of rthe Collegians are: Dick Myers, president; Dick Wileman, vice-president; Harry Owens, secretary; Bob Eike, librarian - historian; and Morey James, treasurer. Accompanists fo r the group are Walter Umla and Thomas Hrynkiw. It is interesting to note that every curriculum in the college is represented in t h e Collegians' ranks. Impending plans include a tour of upper New York state high schools in April and the making of a long-playing record in early spring. This record will include sacred songs, folk songs, and music from Broadway shows. The program of the assembly will include selections by Mozavt, Shaw, and Thompson. The chorus will also sing medleys from "Showborut" and " Oklahoma" as well as The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Soloists for the program will be Merritt Wheeler, Don Jones, Ray Nutaitis, and David Lear.

Winter's Roughest Attack Ineffective As Beacon Staff Delivers On Time Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor lack of classes . . . nothing can stop the Beacon. That was shown last Friday when the Beacon made its regular appearance, right on schedule, even though there was hardly a soul around to read the paper. Beacon boss Dick Myers and his circulation manager, J erry Chisarick, were seen blithely guiding their snow-chained chariot around the campus, dropping off the newspaper into the dese1ted buildings. Several observers noticed that delivery was about 40 minutes behind the usual 11 :35 completion time, but nobody offered any complaints. The two delivery men blamed that on the weather, but informed sources attri,b uted the delay to Chisarick's avowed desire to remain in bed on a day when there were no classes. Roused out of bed at the unearthly hour of 9 :15 on a day of no school, Chisarick answered Myers' call with a few bear-like grunts before returning to hibernat e until 11. The whole intent behind the distribution wa,s maintaining the Beacon's years-long standing of ,p rompt delivery. Even when the print shop was replacing its outdated, full-size press earlier in the year, the Beacon staff rallied around the small-job press at the printery and put out the famous "comic book" edition - on time. Also, last year a mechanical breakdown caused the editorial staff to work with the printer up until midnight in order to make sure that the Beacon got out on time - the following day. Friday's delivery, despite a heavy snow and deserted campus, kept perfect a record of at least five year's standing, a record of always having the Beacon in the hands of its readers before Noon on Friday. MATMEN GAIN ,coniinued from page 1) in 57 seconds. He had ea.r lier thrown Ed ·Callahan of Muhlenberg in 4:39. The two falls were worth four points and his decision over Joe Martins, P.M.C., in the semifinals was worth one. He scored ten •p oints for the .c hampionship in his class. In defeating Barry Gibson of West Chester for the title, Antinnes was taken down for the first time this season. Gibson pulled the trick in just 36 seconds of the bout, but Antinnes escaped in six seconds. Later, Gibson reversed Antinnes, but the Colonel was free again in 26 seconds and won the bout, 9-4. A Flexible Charge Account - at - The annual exchange program between students of Wilkes and the Hampton Institute, Virginia, will be held this year on April 9. This program is held each year to promote better understanding between students and has always been a memorable experience for those who participate. This year, at Hampton, the program prompted the students of that institution to declare the weekend "Wilkes Week" and they have planned a full schedule of events. Highlight of ithe visit will be attendance at a concert performed by the Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra. Dean Hawkins of Hampton recently spoke here at a student assembly on the occasion of Brotherhood Week. His address was wellreceived by students attending. Any m ember of the Wilkes student body who is interested in participating in this year's exchange is asked to speak to Allyn Jones, Butler Hall. The Wilkes group will be guests of the Hampton men for the entire weekend and will be given a tour of the campus in addition to t ours to points of local interest. Jones emphasized that the weekend visit is open to women as well as to men. Plans are now being formulated for the trip and interested students are requested to indicate their desire to go as soon as possible.

Approves Club Constitutions, Conference Funds Student Government, at Tuesday's meeting, granted funds to the Biology and Chemistry Clubs in order that those organizations may attend the Eastern Colleges Science Conference at Hunter ·College, New York. The Conference will be held la,te next month. In other action, the gr oup a lso voted on a number of constitutions submitted for approval. Accepted were the constitutions of the Accounting Club, the Class of 1963 , the Amateur Radio Club, and the Coll egians. Cue 'n' Curtain's document was approved fo llowing revisions as requested by Student Government. A report was ,g iven regarding the briefs prepared by the Government which wer-e submitted to the Court of Appeals. The !brief explains Student Governm ent's punitive action against the I.C.G. The Court met yesterday to decide whether the action, revoking half of I.C.G.'s shar e o,f Intercollegiate Conference Funds, was within the ,pow-er of Student Government. Mike Bia,nco, regular chairman of the Court, has disqualified himself because he is also president of !CG and has been replaced on the bench by Allyn Jones . The judges are members of both fac ulty and student body. Student Government, regardless of the Court's findings, will still have final say in the matter, for the Student Constitution provides that the Governm ent may override the Court's decision with a twothird's vote. • • • • • ♦ • • ♦ ♦ • • • • • ♦ • • IT'S COMING! • • • • ♦ ♦ • • • • • • • • • • • • FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1960 Fund Drive Reali~es 91% of Goa·1 Group Represents India At CCUN Conclave by Ralph Price The Middle Atlantic M o d e 1 United Nations General Assembly will be held at the Albany State Teachers College in Albany, N-ew York on A·pril 8-10.

At Tuesday's meeting, a, pledged contribution of $1500 was given on behalf of the Wilkes student body by Gordon Roberts. An added contribution of $50 was made by the Collegians who entevtained at the meeting. John Mattey and·-.Ste:ve,·, Robertson, co-chairmen for student participation in the drive, urge everyone who is planning to contribute to the development drive to make their pledges to: John Mattey, seniors; ChristOl!)her Loesch, juniors; Al Kishel, sophomores; and Conrad Wagner, freshmen.

Mrs. Farley suffered from a coronary attack last Friday and spent several days under oxygen for relief of her condition. Our latest reports reveal that she is resting comfortably and that her condition is improving. Many students and organizations have sent cards and flowers. Others wishing to do so may address them to Mrs. Farley in care of the General Hospital. The gracious First Lady of t-he College has been a favorite with Wilkes people for over a quarter of a century, with her ready smile and pleasant disposition. She is always prepared, and happy, to have visitors at her home. Students as well as faculty a·n d administration personnel always receive a warm welcome and seldom does one leave the Farley residence without having enjoyed her famous spiced tea. We all join in wishing Mrs. Farley a speedy and complete recovery. Student contributions to the Three-Phase Development Drive are currently in the neighborhood of $2000, a very nice neighborhood to be in. This response came in the short space of less than two weeks and has been sparked by several noteworthy contributions from the students. Reports have reached our editorial desk that the men of Butler Hall have been responsible for something in the vicinity of $600 and they expect that to go up when the proceeds of their "House of Horrors" gimmick are totalled. The Butlerites will share the honors of that donation with the girls from Sterling Hall, co-sponsors of the "IT" affair next Saturday night. The Collegians have also recorded a $50 gift in addition to personal pledges made by some of the individual singers in that group. The outlook for eventual realization of the entire $270,000 seems good, since many distant alumni of the College have been contacted by mail and their cards have not yet been returned. It is estimated that even if only a small percentage of these outstanding cards are returned with minimal pledges, the remaining nine per cent of the goal will be met. A Dangerous Situation The Court of Appeals began reviewing briefs of the Student Government-I.C.G. controversy yesterday. We would strongly urge that all students take careful note of the proceedings and become familiar with the case. The Student Constitution is getting its first real test and the outcome will affect every student as well as each organization. For the "sea lawyers" on campus, we suggest a check of the student Handbook which contains a reprint of the Constitution outlining Student Government's powers and areas in which those powers are in effect, as well as explaining the Court of Appeals and its role. The I.C.G. claims that Student Government has wrongfully deprived it of use of funds to which the club is entitled. The Government counters with I.C.G.'s failure to comply with stated policies concerning procedure for affairs on the social calendar. The funds under consideration are in the Intercollegiate Conference treasury, money under the supervision of Student Government for distribution to duly constituted groups wishing to attend out-of-town events pertinent to the interest of qualifying organizations. This is not to be confused with ,t he Student Activities Fund, distributed to such oragnizations as the Amnicola, Beacon, or others for their year's operation. The I.C.G. receives no money from ,t his source. . Whatever the outcome of this dispute, we see a dangerous situation developing. A weak governing body will be of little use, one too powerful can - under radical hands - destroy all that years of careful planning have developed. Either condition could result from the present controversy. No student will be without an opinion when the case is settled. The logical place ,t o air said opinions is in the "Letters to the Editor" column of this paper. 1ihe time to stand up and be counted is now. Public opinion is the ground from which progress is harvested. Don't let your plot of that ground lie fallow. An International Student Tour to Washington, D.C., and Virginia, April 10-16 is being sponsored by the Committee on Friendly Relations Among Foriegn Students.

" There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Student Donations Help Campaign Student Tour Unveiled Friday, March 18, 1960 I _,,,,"";. by Leona A. Baiera A German film entitled Fidelio will be presented by the modern language department Wednesday afternoon from four to six in Stark 116, and Thursday from 11 to 1. Fidelio, Beethoven's only opera, has been brought ito the screen in a magnificent motion picture which represents the full realization of his theme. The setting of rthe film centers in eighteenth century Spain. The sitar, Claude Nollier, plays with overwhelming intensity the faithful and blessed woman who as Fidelio, also known as Leonore, a noble lady of Seville, bears the torch of freedom to her husband's dungeon. Her husband, Florestan, languishes in an unknown prison as a political prisoner. The film Fidelio is not just a reproduction of a stag-e performance. In its scope of production, its settings, its imaginative and' stirring unity of acting, music, and singing, it is an original and !brilliant cinematogra-p hic formulation springing directly from Beethoven's masterpieces and serving the idea of Fidelio with full and beautiful im,pact. Marcia Davenport, the music critic and biographer, has paid tribute to the opera, Fidelio in these memorable words : "A simple story of indomitable courage and the will to freedom was symbolic to Beethoven of his own long fight to free himself from the intolerable limitations of life. . . . Through this music he wrung from life the freedom of immortality. Therein he frees us all from imprisonment in our mundane selves." ARE POLITICIANS GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD? 1960 is the year of choice. Men must choose the man who will be the th~rty-fourth President of the United States. 1960 is also the year of choice for many people around the world; the choice is totalitarianism or democracy as the leader of the free world. As election time draws near in America, more and more virulenit attacks are being exchanged .by the presidential candidates in an a;ttempt to defame the opposition candidate. Name calling is not the answer; we need a regeneration of loyal spirit inside of the government outside of the government, in -t he loftiest places and in the lowli~t if we are to meet the force of totalitarianism fully prepared. The -p oliticians obviously have failed to apply a vita.J factor in our government. If "hones.t" in the absolute sense of the word was applied by the public office holder, he would find that he is one of those involved in organized dishonesty or self-exploitation by the several at the expense of the nation. Absolute honesty applied to the political field would reveal much. We would see that greed is not confined to any class nor is selfishness a rare character of those who can have a little or much more material things than others. We' would find thait people who blame everybody else for the present situation are really at fault themselves. The politician would go on •t o admit that he covers up the truth by telling the American people only those things which will look politically favorable and that we never permit ·a word of s-e lf-criticism emana,te from our midst lesrt it tarnish our pattern of perfection and self-praise. Instead of frankly admitting mistakes, we will go to extremes in order to pass off errors and imperfections. On the other hand, we might find the opposition leveling criticisms merely rto win an ar,g ument and not because he wants better government and equitable legislation for the people. A minority faction should ·place the interests of ,t he nation before the interest of the party. History has shown that government itself, whether Republican or Democratic, is not free from the desire to ex,p loit exercise of political preference, from handing out jobs for ·political favors, or from handing out favors that are not essential for good government but are very necessary for political reasons. The politician admits that his actions are controlled by his fear of losing power and not by his deepest convictions. Why is it that people do not rebel more strongly against all that politics has done and still does to cripple democracies of our time? The answer to this question is one which all of us are reluctant to admit, an answer which should penetrate to the very heart of Americans everywhere. It is an admission that selfishness has so blinded politicians and the ,people a.Jike that the football of religion has slipped in a world torn with bitterness and passions.

WILIIBS COLLEGE BEACON �WILIF,S COLLEGE Friday, March 18, 1960 Lockerroom Chatter BEACON 3 Wilkes Matmen Seeking Another Title by RAY YANCHUS, Sports Editor Although John Reese's matmen came up with their fourth consecuti,ve Middle Atlantic Conference championshi,p two weeks ago at Lebanon Valley, the price of victory seems ito have been a paradox with the choosing of an outstanding wrestler for the tournament. Dick Stauffer at 130 pounds and Marv Antinnes at 177 pounds, who were both undefeated during regular season matches, quickly showed the fans and the coaches present how the y had built up their records . . The two men emer,g ed as champions in their classes at the end of the two day event as a resu1t of sensational ·p erformances against top performers. With Stauffer handling what many felt was the toughest weight class and Antinnes scoring the highest point total in the tourney, the two ·Colonel wrestlers established themselves as leading contenders for the coveted award at the conclusion of the itwo days of "grunt and groan" antics. However, the parodx unfolds to its full est extent at this point, for wiith two tremendous performances by both Wilkesmen, they split the vote of the judges who picked the Outstanding Wrestler. It was ironical that both Stauffer and Antinnes drew 5 votes apiece out of the total votes cast and that Lycoming's Harry Romig emerged as the Outstanding Wrestler with a total of six. It can 'be seen here that the two Colonel grap,plers outscored the one Lycoming candidate, however, only one man wins, and that was the price that Wilkes and her two champions paid because they were so good in the Tourney. MORGAN ADDS COLOR 'Dhe entire story concerning the outstanding wrestler award cannot be left at that without mentioning the tremendous performance staged by Wilkes' captain, Joe Morgan, as he met Romig in the finals of the 137-pound class. It was the consensus of many fans and reporters · pres·e nt at the tournament that it was the drive, determination, and all-around hustle shown by Morgan in the bout that presented the Lycoming wrestler with the opportunity to put forth his besit effort. The final score of the match was 6-1 but it does not describe the action that took '])lace on the mat during the nine minutes of wrestling. Morgan was all over the mat trying every trick he had learned in four years of varsity wrestling and his effoits made for the most exciting bout of the evening. Another point not made known concerning the bout was that Morgan had his man in plenty of trobule as he flung him around for a takedown and then gave up two points and a possible three as Romig showed signs of being hurt and Morgan released his hold and lost the points. So this is a belated salute to the departing ca.ptain of the matmen not only for his competitive s,p irit shown in the recent tournament but also for his contribution to the Wilkes sports scene for the past four years. Af ~ AA Statistic! The other day our vice president in charge of good news announced that someone, somewhere, enjoys Coke 68 million times a day.

Mr. Reese has issued a call for team ca,pttains who will enter a squad in the competition to start getting their rosters together and turned in -to his office on rthe second floor of Chase Hall. They may be left at the gym, if desired. Teams are limited to 15 players and a player will be limited to playing for one team only. A student director is needed to manage the affairs of the league.

Louis Arm strong is the best in his field, and he's All-American. Ile plays American music, jazz, and he's taught the world to love it. Louie's records sell in every country, he's sold so many, he's called t he most recorded musician ever. Louie Armstrong started in a small town near New Orleans. He started with nothing but ambition and worked himself up to the very top. He is now the king, the greatest of t he living j azzm en, and it looks Hke he's going to remain king for a long time. A critic of jazz told reporters not long ago that Louie was not only important to modern ja:zz, he is the mother and fat her of jazz. The All-Stars, the growp that will accompany Satchmo when he arrives, are a -g roup of talented musicians, each a star, which not only acompany ,b ut enhance Armstrong's style. These stars have seen London, Geneva, Africa, Australia, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Russia, and Holland. If people can hear, they know Sa-tch, if they hear Satch, they're happy.

Marv Antinnes became the first Wilkes wrestler ever to gain national honors last week when he was crowned champion of the 177pound class in the third annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament. Four other Colonels carried the Blue and Gold colors into the NAIA event at Lock Haven State College and emerged from the coII11petition with a fourth place t eam finish. Bloomsburg State won the team championship, edging out defending champion Southern Illinois University. Host Lock Haven, Wilkes, and Lycoming completed the top clubs to give a " neighborhood look" to the top sta.ndings. Athlete of the Week For his winning performance, Antinnes- gains another award as Beacon Athlete of the Week. This is the fifth time he has earned the votes of the sports staff this year as he has clearly demonstrated his athletic superiority. Two other Wilkesmen shared in the fourth place finish as Bob Herman, 191 !Pounds, took third, and Brooke Yeager, 115 pounds, took fourth. Both m en were competing in classes outside their normal divisions. Championship Battle Antinnes continued to rule the roost in his weight division, winning the championship with a hardfought, 4-2 victory over strong Ken Houston of S. Illinois U. He set the stage for the title when he trimmed Bloomsiburg's Stan Elinsky, 9-1, after an initial win over Jim Domin of Baldwin-Wallace. The Illinois grappler registered a taikedown in the latiter part of the first period to take a 2-0 lead. The second period went scoreless with Antinnes gaining a full period of riding time as he thwarted all of Houston's eca,pe efforts. The third period went very slowly as Houston was content with trying to "breeze" into the championship circle, until the referee gave Antinnes a ,point for the stalling tactics of the Illinois grappler. With 50 seconds left in the match, Antinnes escaped to tie the score, 2-2, then took the strong gra•ppler down to register a 4-2 lead. Antinnes kept t he hold for the fad ing seconds of the match to win t he ·b out and the small college National cha,mpionship, thus ,p utting the finishing touches to a perfect season. His record was unblemished in dual meets, he won the Mid-Atlantic 177-pound crown, and was runnerup in the WHkes Open Tournament.

Allyn Jones, chairman of this year's visit to the Virginia Negro Institute, will gladly accept your reservation for this rewarding trip. l:;ach year the students of the two institutions exchange visits to help break down barriers of senseless racial prejudice. Those participating in years past have always given glowing reports of the enjoyable experience and have named it as one of the outstanding memories of college days. Dean Hawkins of Hampton was here recently during Brotherhood Week to address the Wilkes students at assembly. He and Dean George Ralston are friends of long standing and take particular care to see that each visit will be well planned and organized when his college is the host. This year Hampton will host Wilkes. The time for the trip is fast approaching - April 9 - and the Hampton students have gone to great lengths to insure a memorable weekend. Highlight of the "Wilkes Weekend" festivities will be the concert presented by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Image America We don't intend this to be a free ad for the National Broadcasting Company, but we think that their coming "Image America" series will provide interesting and valuable listening for all Americans, coliege students especially. Beginning Monday, hnage America will present sixteen 90minute radio broadcasts designed to improve public understanding of the workings of American society. The Fund for Adult Education is presenting the series in cooperation with NBC and following its completion, the series will be released to noncommercial educational stations. The Fund also plan-s to make available records based on the series together with related reading materials, to encourage maximum educational use of individual programs by study-discussion groups. Enlisting the best minds of the nation to present its series, the Fund will attempt to reveal the true character of the nation, its people and institutions through a clear and honest appraisal of \heir strength and weaknesses and their probable future. The local outlet for the series is WBRt:-radio. Broadcasts will take place from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Bob Considine, noted national columnist, sportswriter, and announcer, will narra-te the programs. Format of the series is based on two previous "Image· ' series, hnage Russia and hnage Minorities. Participants in the project are numerous and the lis,t reads like a Who's Who of any subject you can imagine. Their interests are varied: politics, labor, governmnet, literature, music, art, dance, industry, business, education, law, sociology, religion and many other areas. An infinitesimal sampling of the people show such as: Moss Hart, playwright; Paul M. Butler, Democratic National Committee Chairman and his Republican counterpart, the Hon. Thurston B. Morton; Norman M. Thomas, American Socialist; Robert A. Kennedy, McClellan Committee counsel; Ashley Montagu, anthropologist who addressed a Wilkes assembly two years ago; Vincent Price, actor; Dave Beck, ex-president of the Teamsters Union; Raymond Aron, Professor of Sociology a t the Sorbonne, Paris; and many, many others. For you convenience, we have listed below the dates of the programs in the series. Whether or not this program turns out to be blatantly propagandist in nature or paints an accurate and objective picture of America and its shortcomings as well as its good points is immaterial. As college students we should take every opportunity to increase our knowledge of our environs. Whether the programs live up to their promise or not, they should help us form opinions. Students the world over have always held firm opinions and ihave even broken out in riot to support them. We don't see many examples of such firmness of opinion - right or wrong on the American scene and almost none at all on the Wilkes campus. We do not ad v o c a t e riots and demonstrations, of course, but we do believe that it is the duty of every citizen, especially student citizens, to be fully informed. This series appears to promise a fine starting point. Lillle Thealer Presenls Comedy "Great Sebastians" Features Frances Clack.

Cooney Friday, March 25, 1960 There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Last week the authors of this column discussed some of the political aspects in the American government. In this issue it might be wise to consider the important rol e of non-political individuals like the businessmen, who hold economic 'Positions of ,p ower similar to those in the political r ealm; and t he stud ent, who hold an academic trust of great significance. Prying into the conscience of the business world would reveal many busin essm en who would not give in one iota to the point of view of social responsibility and that these same men believe in t he highest return without conceding that anyone else is entitled to more than a fraction; even if laboring people are the prime part of the mechanism that produces w ealth for us all. Businessmen would adm it, in light of the Southern "lunch counter" strikes, that th ey are so timid aibout striking out against the abuse of th e .polit icians, so r eluctant to sacrifice what we have fought for, that they have mutely acknowledg ed legislation and demonstrations so a s to violate the Constitution in law and in spirit. Moreover, the closing of business establishments to N egroes in the South is a direct assault on the idea that all men, regardless of color, are created equal and the right to peacefully demon st rate. Obviously t he idea of Character and not Color has been subverted in the interest of materialism and bi,g otry. Possibly these businessmen dislike the loss of any material wealth because they beli eve that time and money cu.res all, and because they know others will do th e fighting for them . They hesitate to fight injustice for fe ar of losing their fortunes and their political friend, engaged in the Civil Rights filibuster.

P erhaps one of the biggest disap,pointments would :be revealed in purging the mind of the average student to find his views on the bus-,iness and ,political situation in America. 1 Maybe w e would find that as students we should take enough time and effort to h ear both sides of a controversial question, but fail to do so because we are satisfied by the men with the mellowest voices and the most lucrative 1>romises. We want opinions that soothe u s and we dislike people who just might stimulate our thinking. We prefer indecision to decision, b ut scorn those who tell us so. Most of us are so emlbroiled with daily tasks and the pursuit of the B.$. that we overlook current events in the world in general, and politics and business in particular. In our haste have we failed to note that Negroes in America have been deprived of their rights; that an American bishop has been imprisoned for life in Red China; that Communist r evolts have shaken the Caribbean to our south ; and that Indonesia, center of Southeast Asia, has excluded all anti-Communists from the government? All this within the last month and scarcely a word on these events uttered in student conversations! Is such an atmosphere, neiither businessman, politician or student can make unselfishness a national aspiration. Human understanding has been stunted in the race for material things and the uplifting of individual freedoms halted !because the influence of r eligion itself has a.bated in this world torn by ,bitterness and greed and hatred. There is an a n swer to all the things that ,p lague our world today. The key to the answer may be found in "that Code of Codes handed down to us in the New Deal of over two thousand year ago."

Any combination of Gutterduster wins and Pinbuster losses adding up to five will clinoh the pennant for the Gutterdusters, who now boast a four-game lead. The third~place Blitzkriegs must ,c ount on the Pinbusters to beat the Gmterdusters to keep theh- hopes alive. Their "magic number" is four. Sould the Gutterdusters win three points from the Pinbusters, the latter will be eliminated Sunday and the Blitzkriegs would have to win four to stay alive. Then they would have to beat the Gutterdusters on the final night of play, 4-0, to win. Trophy Seekers Dan Lewis a,ppears to have the hi,g h average trophy wrapped up with a 187 average over a 54-g ame span. Dave Sokira is next in line with a 181 average in 51 games and Emil P etrasek is coming on fa.st with 179 for 54 games. Dick Myers is fourth with 171 for 54 and Bill Watkins rounds out the top five with 170 for 52 games. Three men share the high single game honors at present. Dave Sokira has hit the 245 mark twice, while Lewis and Petrasek have each made it once. Only two more weeks remain for the deadlock to be broken. The high series trophy may go at 629, rolled .by P etrasek. If he takes it, this will be the lowest three-game series trophy in three years. Dan Lewis has won that hardware four times in the past. Lois Myers holds the lead in the race for the girls' high average with 130 for 53 games. Trophies will also ,b e given to each member of the first and second place teams. A playoff at the end of the regular season will be held between the first and second half winners to d e t e r m i n e these trophies. The Pinbusters were first half champions. Should they repeat, a playoff for second place will be necessary between the Gutterdusters and whoever finishes run- ************************ neru,p in the second half.

After the Dance Business Is Good Wilkes College BOOKSTORE by John Nork A sure sign of spring, as any spo11;sman can tell you is the crack of the bat, and the familiar cry of the umpire's "Play Ball!" However, spring is her.e to everyone except the candidat es for the 1960 'baseball team. For the past two ,w eeks the practice sessions have been held in the gym as Coach Pinkowski ho·p es for the day when his boys can take to the fi eld, pull the bats from hibernation, dust off the ,ba.Jls and get the practice sessions officially underway. With just on e week left before the season starts, Pinkowski would welcome a break in the weather so he can g ive his charges a taste of the .ball agains,t the bat and the "smack of the pill in the old pad." Seven lettermen headline Coach Pinkowski's list of vet erans with only three men ,p laying for the last time. John Mattey, reserve catcher from la~.t yea r, hopes to t a,ke over the first team chores this season. Mattey is being given stiff competition by P et e Lesiuk, a promising new contender. Another senior member of the squad is hard-hitting centerfielder Ralph Hendershot of Larksville. Hendershot has been a leading member of the Colonel t eam for the ·p ast three years, and was voted the team's most valuable player for ,play in his sophomore year. The second base-shortstop duo of Dick Harvey and Jerry Lawrence is returning to, the squad, claiming to lbe in better form than last sea.son. Vet eran Bobby Ontko will be back "to hold down the hot corner for another year. Outfi.elder Paul Aquilino and •p itcher Gene Matthews round out the list of r eturnees, along with pitcher George Gacha the only other senior member of the squad. Gacha will likely handle most of the pitchi ng chores a s he is the chucker with the greatest amount of experience. Matthews is ex;pect ed to see !Plenty of action in a supporting role. At the ,p resent time the pitching staff is in need of more help due to the tight schedule the team will encounter as the season progresses. An adequate mound corps can be the determining factor in the final overall r.ecord for the season's play. Coach Pinkowski is also concerned about his outfield strength as Aquilino and Hendershot may be moved into other positions where their services would lbe needed. First base is vacant and Piillkowski is toying with the idea of moving Aquilino to the initial sack. The Colonels open the season at home next week as they meet defending Middle Atlantic champions Moravian in Artillery Park. So. River St. ".........

As a result of the continued cold, however, Farrar will pin his hopes on his six returning lettermen for the Hofstra meet.

CCUN Delegates Attend Albany Assembly; Represent India A delegation from the C.C.U.N. will r epresent the nation of India in the Mid-Atlantic Model General Assembly to be held at Albany State Teachers College A,p ril 8, 9, and 10. Don Murray will ,preside over all ·plenary sessions of the Assembly. Head of the college delegation is Evelyn Godleski . As the representative of India, Wilkes must defend the point of view that Kashmir is an integral pa1t of the Union of India. India maintains that Pakistan must vindicate the ag,g ression committed in Kashmir before a solution to the dispute can be attained. Since the major portion of the work of the Assembly will be done in committee meetings, India's problem will be brought before the Special Political Committee considering the Kashmir siituation. Representing Wilkes on the various committees will be the following students: Political Committee considering the question of disarmament, George Watson; Special Poli,t ical Committee considering the Kashmi r situation, Al Luster; Economic CO'Illimit,tee considering the problems centering around the U .N. Technical Assistance Program, Vince Capo; Social and Humanitarian Committee considering the problem of world refugees, Owen Frances; Trusteeship CO'Illmi,t tee considering the independence of non-self-governing territories, Gary De Hope; Legal Commrt tee ,c onsidering increasing the membership of the Security Council and strengthening the International Court of Justice, Bianca Moscatta. Alternate delegate to the Assembly, is Marie Realmuto. Mailey Guest Speaker At Ed. Club Meeting by Wayne Thomas Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, chairman of ,t he Political Science Department, will be guest speaker at the meeting of the Education Club on Thursday morning at eleven in Conyngham Annex 101. Dr. Mailey will speak on Politics and Education in Wyoming Valley. This is a topic which has attracted a considerable amount of attention in this region in recent years and is of special interest to prospective teachers. Dr. Mailey will call upon many years of experience in the field of politics as well as in the field of education. He is a graduate of West Chester State Teachers College and Pennsylvania State University. The meeting will be open to the public and anyone iterested is cordially invited to attend. "BEACON" NOTICE Because of the Easter holidays, the BEACON will not publish on April 15th or 22nd. All organizations are reminded to plan any publicity campaigns with this in mind in order to assure that planned affairs get proper coverage in next week's BEACON. I.C.G. Appeal Upheld Unanimously; Tuesday's Meeting of Government Okays Funds for Harrisburg Trip The decision of the Court of Review in the case of the Intercollegiate Council on Government reversed action of Student Government in denying that organization use of money in the Intercollegiate Conference fund. The unanimous decision of the Court admitted ~hat the I.C.G. erred in failing to comply with established policy for the conduct of social affairs, but that Student Government acted out of its sphere in denying I.C.G. funds. Debaters Go to CCNY • • dia After MJSenCOr TOUrney SUCCeSS Ading in harmony with the decision of the Court, Student Governm ent on Tuesday received a delegation from I.C.G. a,t iits regular meeting. The delegation requested, and was granted, money to send eight members to the State convention in Harris.burg. The amount awarded was $80. Other Business In other aotion, the Government discussed the "Cinderella Ball" which will rbe held during Spring Weekend, April 13-15. Cost of the affair is $2.00 iper couple. A bill will be paid for the damages incurred during the Winter Carnival at P.M.I. An announcement was also made that student activities calendars are available at t he Student Govern.ment office, Harding Hall, and with Dean Ralston's secretary. Organizations should check these schedules before ,p lanning any event. At the meeting, activities forms were submi<tted and accepted by the Student Government. The affairs which will ibe scheduled on the activities calendar are: a free dance sponsored ,b y the band on Friday, April 1; the Senior class Friday night sport dance on A,pril 8; Cue 'n' Curtain's "Night of Theater" at Chase 'T hea,ter, April 5, 6, and 7; rthe Lettermen's Clwb initiation, an off-'C ampus affair, on April 2; a Manuscript film, which will be shown immediately before the Senior Class dance; and a TDR punch ,p arty during Spring Weekend.

At the next meeting further arrangements concerning the gold and silver keys presented to Student Government members and officers will be made. At that time all previous aibsences at meetings will ibe discussed, and members will volte upon the inflicting of penalties for failure ,t o attend past meetings. rl by John Nork This weekend, the Wilkes Debating Society ,t ravels to New York to participate in a varsity tournament at OCNY after a rather successful weekend at the Misericordia Novice Tourna,ment. A last-minute emergency making it impossi,b le to obtain a fourth member, forced the debaters to enter a three-'ll'lan team in the event. Despite the obvious handicap, Jerry Krasa, upholding the afffrmative side of the question, "Resolved: Tha,t Congress should be given the power to overrule decisions of the Supreme Court," performed a surprising feat. Filling both positions of a usual two-num rteam, Jerome handed King's College team A, the team which compiled the best record of the tournament, its sole loss. Later in the day, he dropped close decisions to Temiple and Marywood. The negative team, comprised of Brent O'Connell and Frank Riofski, compiled the highest point total of the participating teams. They defeated Penn State Women's team and Lehigh, while dropping a decision to CCNY. The handicaipped debaters re-1 turned satisfied, gaining the second highest overall team •point total. In addition Frank Riofski was honored by being named the fourth lbes,t negative speaoker in the event. ATTENTION JUNE GRADS!

Now that the reasons for this advertising are past, it might be well to consider the question from a viewpoint of taste. Are these outward displays all that we can offer to the citizens of the Valley as evidence of our purpose in attending college? We on campus know why these signs were made and even appreciate the work involved in composing and displaying them, but we would also do well to consider the effect of such display before future repetition. Local people know little of the inner workings of a college. They judge generally by what they see on the surface. When Homecoming time comes around, they look forward to the interesting campus-wide decorations as a welcome break in the monotony of sober building fronts. Homecoming decorations are part and parcel of every college's Fall social calendar, but there is always a danger that too frequent a display, especially one not up to par with elaborate Homecoming displays, can be excessive - even in poor taste. We feel that the recent brown paper artwork and window decorations did serve some purpose, but that they were unnecessary and overdone. Sufficient outlets for publicity are available on campus; disfiguration of buildings is an excess. Besides, the affairs thus advertised were strictly sponsored by the donns themselves. Other affairs on campus do not get such coverage - and definitely should not. Let's see to it that the ivy-covered walls henceforth remain just that. Nature's decorations are far better and more enjoyable to the public eye. Let's not destroy the traditional college symbol for the sake of affairs which are already adequately advertised and usually well attended. Breaks with tradition are laudable in some cases, but not at the expense of creating an eyesore. by Ralph Price The Wilkes Band will present its annual assembly program next Tuesday. Under the direction of Mr. Weed, the band will perform an unusually difficult program. The selections which the band will play would not even be aittempted by many ·bands from schools larger than Wilkes. Among the pieces to be played are Celebration Overture and Suite of American Dances. The latter was composed by Robert Russel Bennett, whose accomplishments include the orchestration of South Pacific, among others. Another fine work on Tuesday's program is Procession of the Nobles by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Also on the list for the concert is Fanfare and Allegro. Clifton Williams, the composer of this work, has won the Oswald Competition A ward for 1956, 1957, and 1958. Mr. Williams went to school with the Wilkes director, Mr. Weed. In the future, the Wilkes Band plans a Town and Gown Series concert on April 1, in the Wilkes gym. This will be a Sunday afternoon concert. Student Govt. Caught Off Guard Mr. James Bohning, member of the College chemistry faculty, will ,p resent a pa:per to the American Chemical Society next month. The •p aper, entiitled Kinetics of the Oxidation of 3-Mercaptoproponic Acid with Potassium Ferricyanide, is the result of two years research at New York University. While at NYU, Mr. Bohning was aided in his research by Karl Weiss, assistant professor of chemistry at NYU, who is co-alllthor of the ,pa,per. The report has also been accepted for publication by the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The national meeting of the Society will be held on A pril 14 in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Bohning received his B.S. degree from Valparaiso University, Indiana, and his M.S. from NYU, where he also worked part-time as teacher and research assistant. Following his g r a d u a t i o n, he worked for the U. S. Department of ,Oceanography in New York. We were delighted to read the decision of the Court of Review in the Student Government-1.C.G. controversy. A wellwritten document, it succinctly reaches the core of the matter and manages to point up a weakness in the Constitution. The Government, says the Court, was not fully acquainted with its powers and duties in regard to the policies under fire and that a loophole for organizations does exist. In effect, the I.C.G. was able to avoid compliance with established policy and escape with only a slap on the wrist. The Government emerges from this case no weaker than before, but unquestionably wiser. The fault was not Student Government's in failing to penalize effectively; the fault was in the policy governing the situation. It is regrettable that Student Government, probably one of the most reasonable and moderate in the memory of any-student here, had to be put in the position of acting from a position of weakness - of having to punish when no punishment was possible. This only proves one thing, however. Student Government must give searching study to its policies and its powers under the Constitution. We feel that its action against the violator was taken from a point of view narrowed by too frequent compliances. The Government was lulled into a false sense of security by the smooth-running of accurately observed policies and failed to anticipate carefully enough any possible violations. When the violation occurred, Student Government acted too late and from inside its narrowed perspective. This reminds one of the old adage that when things go too smoothly, look for trouble. Invitation to Learning Friday, April I, 1960 Bohning to Read Paper At National Meeting 1 There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Communist aid to Cuba, Indonesia, and Egy;pt has caused concern in Western government circles. The main reason for this concern stems from the fact that these countries were relatively neutral in world affairs prior to the deals with the Reds. By and large these countries leaned neither to the West nor to the East. After the Communist economic ,pa-cits were signed, significant leaning toward the Communist Party line was evident. Cuba is the most obviously infiltrated government whereas Egypt is the least disturbed on the surface. Economic aid or subversion, as the case may be, is the main ideological strategy of the Communist today. When aid will allow Communist influence to permeate a country, then aid will be used as a strategic inroad in the government. When economic subversion is advantag.e ous the Communist will use it to advance his ideology. Last summer Tom Keeps, ex-British Communist union leader, told the authors about his role as a member of the party in the union. Between the years 1947-52, the Communist dock workers, led by Keeps, staged a series of strikes to cripple the London docks and the British economy. Keeps was awarded the Lenin Medal by the Party for his work, particularly the 1947 strike which cost the British economy considera:ble money. The Red strategy here was to nullify Marshall Plan aid. Fortunately the Communist strategy was broken later when Keeps, who had been a loyal Communist for 25 years, broke with the Party because of his commitment to Moral Re-Armament. A similar plan for South America evolved from the Communist Party of South America. The plot was to control the docks of Brazil through dock unions headed by Red agents. Before the plan gained impetus, leaders of the dockworkers were given ideological clarity by men like Tom Keeps, who had given his life to fighting domination by Communists and capitalism alike and was effective in his meetings with the Brazilian dockers. The Russian government cornered ten per cent of the total trade with a Scandinavian country last year and then demaded a seat on that government's cabinet for a Red agent. The Scandinavian country refused to do this and the Russians cut off all trade. As a r esult, the small country was in financial difficulty. By using trade the Communists tried to infiltrate this government. Great Britain aided the strategy by making trade agreements with the Russians instead of the Scandinavian country. In s,pite of the problem of a fellow NATO member, England signed trade agreements because they received a lower price by a few cents! Communist strategy is to subvert the economy of the Western countries and to gain ideological advances with the neutral countries. Cuba, Indonesia and E gypt have all received aid from Russia during the ,past year; all of these countries have taken steps closer to the ed line. Cuba is collectivizing, Indonesia excluded all anti-Communists from the cabinet and Egypt has allowed a number of Russian "technidans" to enter the country - all this af.ter economic aid from Russia. You do not have to accept our idea that the Communist strategy is to subvert the countries of the West with a.n ideology based on economic principles. Heed he words of Nicolai Lenin: "When the capitalist countries of the West begin trading and accepting aid from the Communist bloc, they will sign their death warrant."

These same two teams will meet in a playoff series on April 10. to decide the championship of the league. The Smashers went into a second place tie with the Blitzikriegs by defeating the last place Fla.tballs, 3-1. In the other contest, the Blitzkriegs shared four points with their opponents, the Kingpins. Dan Lewis 204-594 and Bernie Shupp were the ,big footors in the Gutterdusters sweep of the Pinbusters. The total ·pin fall of the winning Gutterdusters was 222 pins better than that of the Pinbus,ters. Dave Sokira and Emil P etrasek were the leading men of the Pinbusiters with a 199-53 and 170-475, respectively. Marshall Brooks rolled a 180-497 to help his Smashers cop three points from the Flatballs, John Sapiego helped with a 169-495. Tom " Dewey" Evans and John Mattey were top men for the losing Fla,tballs. Evans had a 180-465 while Mattey hit for a 170-458. Adam Gajewski rolled a tremendous 212-556 but his effo1ts proved to no avail as his Kingpins shared two points with the Blitzkriegs. Tom Dyslewski came in a close second with a 195-512.

Washburn Meeting of Minds students to its open meeting on Tuesday, April 19. The meeting will be held on the third floor of 159 S. Franklin Street from 6-8 p.m. Publicity directors and organizational leaders are cordially invited to attend and air their views on how we on the newspaper can serve the College better. The staff members are requested to be prompt so that several matters of interest to them can be settled quickly and more general matters taken up. The meeting will be of particular importance to all who intend to apply for editorial positions on next year's staff. Congratulations We were pleased to see the honors heaped on junior Marv Antinnes in recognition of his splendid year of accomplishment in athletics. We were further delighted to see the editorial page of the Wilkes-Barre Record devote a half column editorial to his exploits. The article appeared in Wednesday's edition and recounted all his honors, so well known by all here at Wilkes. We wish to extend our own congratulations and a hearty, "well done," to the year's outstanding athlete, sportsman, and student leader. Dear Sir: The last edition of the Beacon referred to the Court of Review decision in the headline and story which followed. I would qualify this misnomer by saying that the Court of Appeals made the decision referred to in this instance. The Court of Review had no say in this case since it is confined to ruling on dormitory violations. The ·C ourt of Appeals wrote the decision for the case involving the Intercollegiate Conference on Government and .the Student Government because it ha.s the power to act upon appeal of any decision of the Student Government. In closing I extend my gratitude to William Raub, who assumed the chair of the Court in my absence; Allyn temporary member, and theJones, remaining members of the Court of Appeals for their endeavor in this initial case. Yours sincerely, Michael Bianco Chairman, Court of Appeals (Ed. Note: Ooops!

WHAT ••• WHERE ••• WHEN ••• I --PERSONALS-- WILKES COLLEGE BEACON The editorial "Excessive Decoration" appeared on April 1, and it was very a-p propriate to "April Fools' Day." It certainly was your day Ed.; I hope you enjoyed it as you lurked about our fair city. The Wilkes campus lacks many things in the way of school spirit, so let's not kill the little we have. Several weeks ago, the wrestling and basketball doubl e-headers were fine examples of the spirit that should prevail, but is seldom shown. If the banners on the dorms were an eye-sore to anyone but you, it has not been heard at present. To most of us, the banners gave River 1Street a "campus" look and were a sight for sore eyes. Ron Simms (Ed. Note: Reader Simms has a good point; we · would have been happier had he kept it under his hat.) ***** Dea.r Editor: The editorial in the Beacon April 1, 1960, has created considerable conversation throughout the past week. This, I presume, was one of its purposes and in that resp ect it might be considered a successful editorial. I do, however, disagree with many of the statem ents and opinions presented in the editorial, and I am making these disagreements the subject of this letter. Throughout the editorial, the advertising placed on the front of the dormitories during the previous week was referred to as displays. I would like to point out that the purpose of these advertisements was not to provide displays, but was simply to promote two events sponsored by the dormi.tories that weekend. As advertisements I believe they performed their purpose and were not in the least "overdone." The editorial also stated that college "affairs are already adequately advertised and usually well at- t ended." As• for attendance, I think it wise that the editor check some of the Friday night activities sponsored by the college organizations during the past semester. I think he would find that most of these activities were not "well attended." This, I believe, is due largely to the publicity given to these activities. The advertising placed on the dormitories was a new idea in promotion for the CaJlllpus, and created considerable interest in both of the affairs that were adv ertis ed. Also, I would like to interj ect that both of these affairs were successful, and were very well attended. The editorial also elaborated upon our annual Homecoming displays, and suggested that such adve rtisements during the Spring semester might detract from ,th e in terest given to these displays in the Fall. Being chairman of the Homecoming diplays for the past two years, I feel well qualified to discuss the subject. These advertisem ents were not intended to resemble or compete with the Homecoming displays, and it is my opinion they will not detract from our Homecoming festivities in any way. Last, there was considerable discussion at to the impression such advertisements give the residents of this area. I fully appreciate the editor's interest in maintaining the goodwill of the people of Wyoming Valley, but I hardly think these people expect such a noteworthy institution as Wilkes College to cater to them in every activity the students of the college sponsor. Nearly every John Q. Public has an elementary knowledge of the activities of college students, and I certainly believe ,t hat an activity as harmless and innocent as these advertisements are included in such a knowledge. Sincerely, Allyn Jones (Ed. Note: May we quote "Arnold," Beacon No. 21, March 18, "But is it art?") _ --------------------=-----------• .. There Is An Answer by Michael Bianco and Gordon Roberts Eighty-six million copies of the MRA handbook Ideology and Coexistence in 24 languages have been distributed throughout the world to date. The Honorable Ben F. Jensen, Congressman from Iowa, referred to this handbook while addressing the members of the House of Representatives on March 14. Congressman Jensen stated: "In the years since World War ideological softening up of the free II, Adenauer has stood out as a world.' dauntless fighter for freedom and an architect of the unity of the West. Better than most he understands the nature of the ideological struggle we are in right now. For he and his country are on the very front line of that struggle. He and his family were among a group of 150 picked leaders of Western Germany, who, at the end of the war, came to the Moral ReArmament Assembly at Caux, Switzerland. There began the close friendship of the Chancellor with Dr. Frank Buchman, the initiator of Moral Re-Armam ent, an association which h as grown and deepened over the years, and which has had a profound effect on the history of Western, Europe. It is by a most happy combination of events that at this time a new weapon in this ideological struggle is being ·p ut into our hands. It is this handboO'k, Ideology and Co-Existence, prepared by Moral Re-Armament. It has been published as a. weapon to put America and the free world on the offensive in this war of ideologies. It sets forth in pungent sentences the true nature of communism and presents the one effective universal answer. The strength of the statements in this handbook and the ideology which it represents is proved by the violence of the attacks which Tass, the Soviet News Agency; Pravda, Izvestia, Trod, Life and Literature, and the Moscow, Tashkent, and Peiping radios have launched against it, noting that this handbook 'is putting an end to the To my knowledge this handbook is receiving one of the most ma.ssive simultaneous distributions in the history of the world. A copy _ has gone to every home in the Sandinavian countries, including Greenland and Iceland, to every home in Holland, and in Switzerland where it was given a foreword by General Guisan, the famous commander-in-chief of the Swiss armies in World War II. Last week it went to every one of the 4½ million homes in Canada. At this very moment it is being distributed to every family in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia, and before the end of this month it will reach every home in this nation's capitol. It is fitting that at this time of _ Chancellor Adenauer's stay in this country means such as these are available to strengthen the fundamental beliefs and qualities of the American people and restore to new life and power the precious heritage of our forefathers and the great destiny of our land.'' Eleven of Congressman Jensen's col!eagues from the Democratic and Republican Parties concurred with his feeling when they called Dr. Adenauer and asked to have the Moral Re-Armament play, Hollnung, in Washington this Spring. The 'bi-partisan signatories are: Senator Everett Dirksen, Minority Leader, and the Senators Francis Case, John Sherman Cooper, Hubert Humphrey, Estes Kefauver, Oren Long, Russell Long, Eugene McCarthy, John McClellan, George Smathers, and Alexander Wiley. �WILICES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, April 8, 1960 3 Marv Antinnes Named Top Athlete Colonels Host Upsala, Twinbill Tomorrow; Gacha Wins Opener, 9-4 by Tom Evans The baseball team makes another try at their home opener as they meet the Upsala Vikings at Artillery Park. Game time is 31:30 p.m. Wilkes will be out to avenge last year's 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Vi·kings. The starting assignment for the Blue and Gold will go to veteran pitcher George Gacha. For George the game will be important in that he was the losing pitcher in last year's tight contest. .Saturday the diamond team will take on a strong Western Maryland outfit in a double-header. First game gets underway at 11 :00 a.m. Gene Matthews, one of Coach Pinkowski's returning pitchers, will handle the opener. The Colonels hope to get plenty of long-ball power from centerfielder Ralph Hendershot and thirdsacker Bobby Ontko to back up their pitching. Monday Wilkes will taike on the Scranton Royals at Schautz Field in 1Scranton. The colonels will be out to try and trim a Scranton team ,t hat trounced them twice last year. 1S cranton has their ace pitcher, Bob Meckwood, to lea<l a veteran team. Wilkes will counter with Gene Matthews who is expected to come back with two days rest. Wednesday's Results Veteran pitcher George Gacha threw seven-hit ball at Muhlenberg College as Wilkes won its opening game of the 1960 season, 9-4. The game was played in 30 degree wea,ther. Gacha, who struck out eight and walked two, was backed up by the fine hitting of thirdsacker Bobby Ontko, second baseman Walt Folek, and rightfielder Dick Harvey. Each collected ,t wo hits, with Folek driving in three runs and Ontko two. Wilkes jumped off to a two-run lead in the first inning as both runs came across on an error. Muhlenberg came back with one in the second and the Colonels scored again in the third on Paul Aquilino's single. The Mules tallied again in ,t heir half of the inning, but Wilkes scored two in the fourth on Folek's hit. Folek produced another run in the sixth and Muhlenberg finished off their scoring in the bottom half of the frame. The Colonels iced the game with a three-run outburst in the eighth. Ontko doubled in a pair and Ralph Hendershot sent across the final Wllkea College Reveraible Jacket& See the new Quilted Corduroy Look Both with Wilkes Lettering 2 - LEWIS-DUNCAN - 2 SPORTS CENTERS 11 E.

Full House Seen For Concert Junior Class Event Brings Living Legend Of World-Wide Fame A living legend, Louis Armstrong brings his golden horn and gravel voice to the gym tomorrow night for a two-hour jazz concert similar to those he has given before the crowned heads of nearly every European country. He used his brass to penetrate the "Iron Curtain," ma'king the usual big hit with the Moscow crowds on his most recent European tour. The 60-year old giant of the musical world has been a part of the jaz·z scene since his teen years, when he played in gin-mills for a dollar a night. He now commands the top dollar wherever he goes and has played before standing-roomonly crowds since 1925. When he toured the country in the thirties, he picked up his fantastic following as he barnstormed his way to fame with his improvisations of long-established hit music. He himself waxed many of Tin Pan Alley's top money-ma,king records, including: "Shine," "Chinatown," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and, of course, his best known, "Ain't Misbehavin'."

This has been done by co-chairmen Jim Neddoff and Gale Hughes. Information about the concert, posters, and tickets have been sent to colleges in Eastern 1Pennsylvania through the efforts of Ann Curley, chairman (continued on page 8) �2 Friday, April 29, 1960 WILKF.S COLLEGE BEACON EDITORIALS Prejudice, Discrimination Hit Home We are pleased to welcome as guests this weekend students from Hampton Institute, who are here in the exchange program between the two colleges. With the "Free for All" tonight and the Jaz~ concert tomorrow night, they couldn't hav, picked a better tune to come for a week end of excitement and entertainment. Perhaps nothing _which takes place this week end can top what happened to Wilkes students when they visited Hampton, however. A routine exchange visit was turned into a hectic situation which pointed up the South's determination to continue keeping Negroes held to second-class citizenship. The situation was odd and happened as follows: A Wilkes student was driving a car belonging to one of the Hampton men. A policeman, seeing the integrated carload, stopped the vehicle and asked for the usual show of cards. The Wilkes driver produced his driver's license, but the owner's card was not available. The Hampton student owning the car had just recently purchased it and had not yet received his permanent record. He produced the legal binders showing legitimate ownership, but the policeman was not entirely convinced that all was in order. The Wilkes man was then taken to headquarters, fingerprinted, and booked for driving an illegally licensed car ... which was not in fact illegally licensed, as later evidence proved. We must emphasize here that the Hampton officials were prompt to act, sending lawyers, school officials, and bail bond money to get the Wilkes man released. We learned Tuesday evening that Dean Hawkins of Hampton informed Dean Ralston that the case was thrown out of court Monday as ridiculous. We further wish to make it clear that there were no violations involved when the arrest was made. The only reason that the policeman stopped the group was that the occupants of the car were of mixed color. The fact that he had found an apparent legal violation was only incidental. The students and citizens of the locality were outraged and were quick to offer help. The officials and students of Hampton were embarrassed by the action and of course were in no way responsible for the unhappy circumstances. Perhaps the reasons for the arrest may be that some Hampton students were at the time picketing various businesses in Richmond and Newport News in connection with the "sit-in" strikes which have recently been formed to combat the discrimination in the South. Whatever the reasons, we can only deplore the whole mess from the present "race" problems right back to the first day man put another man in slave chains. Finding the solution to the problem is no easy task, but before we go off to other continents, officially and officiously criticizing racial subjugation, we might better heed some good advice: "Physician, heal thyself." Misericordia Hosts Press Members of the Beacon staff recently attended the Second Annual Intercollegiate Press Conference held at College Misericordia. All those who attended had the opportunity of hearing professional journalists speak on various aspects of the newspaper business. They were encouraged and discouraged alternately as the afternoon progressed through the words of these experienced men and women. , During the discussion of these periods however some of the more common problems of running a college newspaper were brought out and various solutions that have been discovered on the college level were analyzed for their appropriateness at the present time. Beacon staff members were glad of having the opportunity to compare problems and solutions with students from Marywood, King's, and Misericordia. The only disappointment of the day was the lack of representatives from more colleges and universities. Since the conference was so well planned and organized, the loss was to those who were not in attendance. The afternoon proved revealing for us and we hope the other college students felt same. To the women of College Misericordia who surmounted many difficulties and pressures surrounding such an affair, we wish to express our appreciation, and hope that we were as gracious as guests as they were as hostesses.

In a sense it seems to me that our long de~ liberations and sincere interest in trying to arrive at a just solution resulted in naught. Either we were derelict in not being able to put across to the members of Student Government clearly and effectively our several reasons for deciding in favor of ICG, or else Bob chose only to emphasize the one part of our -~ easoning that seemed to justify his contemplated actions. Our decision, Mr. Editor, was a lengthy one. To our minds far more important than the immediate issues in this particular case was the I_>a_ramount _question of a legal pro_v1s1_on ( Pohcy 3, section b) which 1s so dangerously ambiguous so woefully inadequate, and so care~ lessly written that it leaves unlimited and arbitrary power to the particular individuals serving on Student Government at any given point in time. Strangely enough, however, we also saw in this provision a possible loo·p hole by which certain organizations, no less guilty than IOG, could conceivably escape any possibility of punitive action by the Student Government. In summary, Mr. Editor, it seems to us that if Policy 3 is allowed to continue unchanged all subsequent decisions of the Government must at best be subjective interpretations of doubtful legal activity. In the decision of the Court we were trying to say in effect to the members of Student Government "Put justice first! Do not punish an organization, no matter how guilty, as long as there exists any uncertainty as to what Student Government can constitutionally do." We were also making what we considered to be a necessary constructive ;recommendation to Student Government, a recommendation that we feel is of immediate and acute importance to every Wilkes College student and campus organization. In order to provide ~qua! protection before the law, 1t behooves Student Government to initiate steps by which its constitutional '})rovisions will be made to conform to at least the minimal standards of common and statutory law. Otherwise, long after the details of the IOG case have been forgotten this provision may continue to plague the Student Government and to newtralize its effectiveness. Permit me to express one final thought, Mr. Editor. I was amused and slightly nonplussed at some of the actions of individual members of Student >Government following the decision of the Court. They rushed out to consult with a trained lawyer to check on whether our understanding of legal processes was correct. Secondly, they showed, however momentarily, obvious irritation and resentment twoard a student member of the Court. Thirdly, I understand that a proposal was made for a secret ballot at the meeting of the Government on the question of upholding or over-riding the Court's decision. Finally, I read about "spinelessness and lack of intestinal fortitude" because of a position taken by certain members of Student Government on an issue that is at least subject to conflicting interpretations. Let me try to make cel'tain things clear. We, the members of the Court, are not trained lawyers. We can only offer to the students our judgement, our sincerity, and our objeotivity. We are wasting our time and our energies if deci2ions we are supposed to make judiciously can be upset by subsequent actions of Student Government based upon political and personal animosities. We do expect that certain of our decisions will be over-ridden by the Government, but we would hope that such action by Mary Frances Barone Last weekend James Walters and Gordon Roberts represented Wilkes in Washington, D.C.; they were attending the National Student Conference on the Sit-In Movements. Approximately 600 delegates from student governments of colleges and universities throughout the United States attended. •~ Strunk Appointed to Administrative Staff; Heads New Department In an effort to coordinate the functions of the development office, alumni office, and public relations, the College has named J. Horace Strunk, a former newspaperman, to fill the newly created post of Director of Development and Public Relations. Mr. Strunk will direct the activities of these offices, and will be charged with coordinating their related functions. The present change has occured in part as a result of the acceptance of new positions by the present administrators. Russell R. Picton, Jr., director of development and executive alumni secretary, resigned to accept a similar position with Randolph-Ma-con women's college in Lynchburg, Virginia, and William A. Zdancewicz, director of public relations, is leaving the college to accept an executive position in industry. Mr. Strunk comes to Wilkes from Bethlehem where he was administrative assistant in the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Bethlehem, A graduate of Blair Academy and Lafayette College, Mr. Strunk served as director of public relations at the institution. He is a veteran newspaperman, served in the European Theater during World War II, and became director of Alumni and Public Relations at Blair Academy after his honorable discharge. He has also served as executive secretary of the Pocono Mountains Chamber of Commerce and Vacation Bureau, and is former editor and publisher of Homefront, a wartime magazine p,repared for servicemen both home and abroad. He resides with his wife, the former Mona Lloyd, at 227 South Franklin Street. Freshman Piano Recital Given by J. A. McMahon Jean Ann McMahon, a scholarship student in the music department, presented her freshman piano recital on Palm Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Liva, Scranton. Miss McMahon is on the dean's list at Wilkes, she is treasurer\ of the Young Musicians Society of Wilkes-<Barre and Scranton, a member of the National Guild of Piano Teachers and National Fraternity of Student Musicians. A graduate of St. Patrick's High School in Olyphant where she maintained the High Honor average, she acted as the school pianist through her four years of high school. She has performed annually in the National Guild Auditions and holds a superior rating for eight programs. In May she will receive the Collegiate Freshman Diploma from the National Guild of Piano Teachers. She will perform a fifteen-piece program. Her recital included: Organ Prelude and Fugue No. 5, Bach-Kabalevsky; Allegro, from Sonata in C, K 284, Mozart; Concerto in B flat, No. 2 (Allegro), Beethoven; Tom Hrynkiw, second piano. Also included: Valse in C sharp minor and Revolutionary Etude, Chopin; Cirwill only be taken on the basis of logic and reason. Either the Court of Appeal represents an effective and dependable safeguard of the rights of individual students or it ought to be abolished as a meaningless and ineffective sham. Sincerely yours, George Elliot The conference was sponsored by the United States National Students' Association, composed of student government presidents. A special Taconic Foundation grant made this conference possible. On Friday, Donald Hoffman president of the USNSA, presided over the general session. The session was held in the auditorium of the All Souls Unitarian Church. The topic for this meeting was "The .Southern Movement in Pro~ spective." Several speakers represented southern colleges. One of the main speakers was Mahendra Widjesinghe, a representative of Ceylon University of India. The next general session on Saturday considered ,t h e topic, "Northern Supporting Action." After the general session, delegates participated in various discussion groups. In these groups the delegates considered recommendations for solving the Negro equality problem in the South. The conference, according to the Newsletter, of the USNSA, was called because of "the wide spontaneous spread of the student demonstrations, which began in the South on February 1, 1960, has generated interest and concern among students across the United States and around the world . . . ."

SWE-E-E-ET AD-O-LINEI Local ''Society'' Members Sing In Barber Shop Concert Parade by George J. Tensa In the village barbershop the gaslights illwninate four men: the barber and three of his customers. As the barber removes a ho~ towel from the face of his last customer, the man in the chair sits up, smiles and begins to hwn softly. As if this was the cue for which each had been waiting: the barber pauses, strokes his mustache, his eyes twinkle and he hums a sweet tenor; the man holding the Police Gazette stops reading an article on Anna Held and contributes a baritone; and the solitaire player, sitting in front of a shelf of ornately decorated mugs, adds a deep bass. Soon the room is filled with masculine voices singing in close harmony. The gaslights of the "Gay Nineties" are gone but the era's singing style of close, four-part harmony has remained with us throughout the years and has become an accepted part of the American music heritage. Because of the interest in barber shop quartet singing today, the barber-shoppers are organized into a national organization known as ,t he Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America. This month the 26,000 balladists of .S•P E1BSQSA are celebrating their 22nd anniversary. Among these are the 30 carolers of the Wyoming Valley Chapter. The local group meets every Monday evening at the. Kingston House. They extend a "chordial" invitation to all male music lovers to join them. Among the festivities of the local organization will be the Annual Parade of Quartets which will be held at Kingston High School next Saturday. Headlining the Parade will be the Pittsburghers, International Champions; the Check-Mates, Mid-Atlantic Champions; and the WC Students Recognized At I.C.G. Convention by Ralph Price On April 7, 8, and 9 seven members of ICG attended the State ICG Convention in Harrisburg. The Wilkes group was quite active at the convention with many delegates holding important positions during the proceedings. Mike Bianco and Betsy Hoeschele were on the State Executive Committee. Bianco was also a parliamentarian. Rose Neuser held the position of secretary of the major committee, the Commi-ttee of Labor and Industry. Carol Tangorra was timekeeper, and Pat Shovlin was a sergeant-at-arms. In addition to his other positions, Bianco was elected to the office of director of the N or-theast Region of IOG. This region numbers among its members such schools as Lehigh University, Lafayette College, Scranton University, Moravian College, Marywood College, and Mansfield State College. The ICG here is currently in the process of scheduling activities for next year. They hope ,t o include a mock presidential election in their plans for the next term. by Jim Jackiewicz A third foreign film of the semester, "The House of the Angel", (La casa-del'angel), will be presented in Stark Hall by -the Language Department on Wednesday from 3 to 5, and on Thursday from 11 to 1. The movie is in Spanish dialogue with English subtitles. It was produced in Argentina and is the fifth film endeavor of director Leopaldo Torre Wilsson. "La casa de! angel" is based on the novel of the same title by Beatriz Guido, who is one of the most noted Latin American novelists. The movie deals with the adolescence of a 15 year old upperclass Argentinian girl in the 1920's. She is aroused to free herself from her pietistic and stern mother who raised her in a background of strict puritanism when she meets a politically inclined young man who is also a victim of his rigid upbringing. This film which was selected for exhibition at the Cannes International Film Festival and the London Film Festival in 1957, is an excellent example of Wilsson's skill as a director. The London Times states that, "The film's atmosphere of prurience and moral decay is evoked with such authority as to leave no doubt of a rare and uncompromising talent. . . ."
